"What´d I miss?" Rainbow asked as soon as she came back from the bathroom.

All the ponies in the room, including whatever guards were near, stared at her with unamused faces.

"Nothing. You missed nothing important, Rainbow Dash. Your friend Twilight was simply upset about how she handled things when she came to after the 'incident'." Celestia answered.

Luna muttered, "If that's what passes as handled these days, then I guess Discord has been 'handled'."

"Don't mind my sister, she's angsty today." Celestia told the mares while rolling her eyes.

Pinkie opened her mouth to speak, and then Celestia cut her before she could speak. "As to why you're here, I IS because of the explosion that struck you, along with Canterlot and Ponyville." Pinkie closed her mouth at that.

"then what do you want us to do, Princess?" Fluttershy asked, "If you don't mind me asking, that is."

"I bet it's something like picking up the Elements of Harmony and blasting whatever monster bad guy.. thing that did this!" Rainbow Dash suggested helpfully.

Celestia almost choked at that. She didn't even know what DID cause the explosion, or ever considered the possibility of a monster, which was likely, considering how armaggedon seemed to be attracted to Equestria. How come there's never any monster in Zebrica or Saddle Arabia or anywhere not here?

"Change of plans, my little ponies!" Celestia shouted frantically while ushering all the mares behind her throne. She quickly looked up and down, left and right, and on her back. One can't be too careful after the Dresden Colt Incident, after all.

"What are you doing, sister?" Luna asked without looking at her, but the confused ponies that were going behind the throne in single file. "Did you discover something important, or are you over-thinking again?"

Celestia turned around and glared at her, and shushed her.

Over-thinking it is, then.

"Um, why are we behind your throne, Princess?" Twilight asked.

"SHUSH!"

"Ok, then, be mysterious. Jeez." Twilight mumbled.

"I'M LEAVING." Facehoofing Luna said as she trotted over to a broken window, and flew away towards Ponyville.

Celestia didn't even notice Luna leaving, since she was so invested in her very important task. Protecting the Element Bearers until she knew that there was no magic-draining death-monster on the lose. But to know, I'll have to call him... buck.

"DISCORD!" She blurted.

And then the guards became rappers.

YO IT'S DICORD IN THE HOOUUUUUUSEEEEE!

GIVE IT UP FOOOOR DISCOOOOOOOOOOORD!

"YO YO YO IT'S ME! DISCOORD! WHO HAS SUMMONED ME?" Discord asked while gliding on a surfboard while wearing a black baseball cap put on backwards with the words 'LORDE CHAOS' written on it, and wearing sunglasses. "Who wants their daily dose of CHAOOOOOS?"

"Shut up Discord and listen to me." Celestia said.

All the rad stuff that appeared for Discord's entrance fell to the ground and exploded without damaging anything as soon as she said that.

"What do you want then Celestia? Haven't I done enough for you today?"

"No." She said.

"Ugh FINE. What do you need?" He asked her.

"I need you to make sure that the explosion was not caused by a monster or anything of the sort. GO."

"Wu-what? That's some vague order." He exclaimed. "I'll be in a bit, see you... not so soon, Celestia."

-Some Random Field Between Canterlot And Ponyville-

It was now starting to get around the time of day that the night should start, but Luna could tell Celestia had gone on one of her episodes of panic. The sun was still very high up in the sky, and it definitely was not moving for a while. Luna had been flying towards Ponyville since she had left the throne room, because if there was one way to make her sister come to her senses, was to bring all available information on the issue at hoof.

But Luna, unlike Celestia, kept a cool head when confronted with potentially deadly and world-ending things. So she would not forget of her main task as a princess of the night simply because Equestria COULD be in some form of danger.

Luna stopped flying and landed on a small hill to raise the moon.

"Guess tonight we'll get another eclipse," she said while remembering how this was the 2nd eclipse this month alone.

And then the moon started rising as Luna worked her 'Princess Lunar Magiks' , and looking very awe-inspiring while she did it. That is, until the moon started spinning in circles and the stars arranged themselves in a way that spelled something.

"Huh? What!?" Luna gasped. "Why in Equestria are my stars spelling out 'loading'?"

She could only watch as the moon suddenly faded away, which made Luna take a step back, and the stars then spelled out 'Equestrian Sky v1.7 has encountered a fatal error. Restarting Equestrian Sky.' After that, the sky turned pitch black, and strange whirring noises came out of nowhere. After a couple intense seconds that Luna spent gnawing at her hoofguards, the sky suddenly lit up in blue. Not a natural sky blue, but the kind of blue you would expect a swimming pool to be. Then the stars spelled out a final message, 'Welcome to Equestrian Sky v1.7. Please enter your 32-digit PIN to login.'

Luna made sure to look for any clues she could as she looked up with terror at the sky. HER sky, her baby, which had a small print in the very corner, close to the horizon...

"It says... Discordant Inc."

"Excellent! Now that we know you can read, put in the PIN. Fixing the sky is hard work, you know. Not every deity can simply hack the universe to fix a small coding error that causes, you kow, what just happened."

Did I mention that Luna was pissed at Discord yet? "DISCORD! YOU PIECE OF S-"
