Morning. The sun shines over all of Equestria. Suddenly, a shadow appeared on the ground and then a hoof landed. The shadow moved furhter until it sees Canterlot. The shadow belonged to none other than the cloaked Spectrus who transformed himself into a pony. He just stood and looked at the city. Then camels and elephants walked from behind him and began to walk towards Canterlot. Both animal species belong to Spectrus. There was also a giraffe. The camels were wearing large baskets. In one of the baskets, a pony's head showed up. But the head was put back inside the basket by Spectrus. The camels and elephants went to the crowd of ponies that were walking to Canterlot Castle. Two guards were guarding the entrance. They looked at the camels and elephants and then at a pony who owns them.
"It's a surprise for the princess." the pony said.
They let the camels and the elephants inside. Suddenly, a grey unicorn pony with a black mane and a whirlwind cutie mark came to the guards.
"Oh. I've never seen so many ponies coming to Canterlot. What's the occasion?" The unicorn asked.
"Our princess celebrates her birthday." One of the guards said.
"Oh, wonderful. Are all the guests here?" The unicorn asked.
"Almost. But the princess doesn't know that it's all a surprise. They're all here, except one." The second guard spoke.
"Who's that?" the unicorn asked.
"Well, he's certainly not a pony. He once caused Chaos over all of Equestria and now he claims to be reformed." The first guard said.
"Oh. But I am reformed." The unicorn said. He transformed into a familiar being. Some kind of pony with a deer antler, a goat horn, a lion paw, an eagle talon, a goat leg, a lizard leg, a bat wing, a bird wing and a snake tail. He grabbed one of the guards.
"It's all true, you know. I am 100% reformed. Me, the one and only DISCORD!" The being named Discord said. He zapped a magic beam into the air and his name appeared in neon lights. Suddenly, the lights went off. He looked at it and then at the screen. "Awww...Some of you don't believe."
Inside the castle, a beautiful alicorn with a streaked cerulean, turquoise, cobalt blue and heliotrope mane and a sun cutie mark was preparing herself for another day after raising the sun once more. Suddenly, the door of her room opened and revealed somepony. It was another beautiful alicorn, but she was a bit smaller than her sister. She had a mane that looks like the night sky and a moon cutie mark.
"So what are you going to do today?" Princess Luna asked.
"I was thinking to visit Ponyville." Princess Celestia said.
"I've got something better. But first, you must close your eyes." Princess luna said.
"What for?" Celestia asked.
"Trust me. It's a surprise." Luna answered.
With that, Princess Celestia closed her eyes.
"Okay, just follow my voice." Luna said.
And so, Celestia followed her. Luna led her to the baclony.
"Can I open them?" Celestia asked.
"Open. Now." Luna said.
Celestia opened her eyes and in her amazement, she saw everypony outside with gifts and presents.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOUR MAJESTY!" Everypony said.
Celestia couldn't believe it. She was truly speechless.
"Happy birthday, Tia." Luna said.
"Thank you, Luna." Celestia said and embraced each other in a big hug.
At a sudden moment, the elephants and camels went into a room where they're in good hooves. However they're not in good hooves. The cloaked Spectrus was in that same room. The giraffe went close to him. Suddenly, two hands appeared out of the giraffe and it tore the mask into pieces. It was none other than the centaur Tirek. He takes the rest of the costume off and walked to Spectrus.
"Why do you walk in the open while I sufficate like an animal in that RIDICULOUS costume?!" The centaur said.
"We can't be seen and somepony must keep his head cool." Spectrus said.
"I hope this is not some wild goose chase." Tirek said.
"Don't worry, we will get the Elements of Harmony. This time I'm certain." Spectrus said.
Meanwhile, in the courtyard of the castle. Discord was wearing a tuxedo and holding a microphone in his eagle talon.
"Hello, and welcome to 'Access Applewood'. That's right; we're taking you to the birthday of a millenium. And who's this coming on the lovely stretch camel? Oh, it's Haakim and Amira from Saddle Arabia and they're bringing a salad. And there are Shining Amor and Princess Cadence with their newborn baby Flurry Heart. How wonderful." While he was speaking the delegates of Saddle Arabia were walking through the crowd waving at some ponies. Some ponies were carrying a giant salad and another with a peppershaker. Also Shining Armor and Cadence arrived with their baby. "Oh look, there's some griffins. Oh, griffins. Griffins. Could we have a word with you?" One of the griffins began to screech. "Oh no, the crowd is parting, who's coming? It's Captain Goodguy!" A masked Discord with a superhero costume separates the crowd as he walks through it. "And your name is?"
"I'm Prince Rutherford." A yak talked.
"You sure it's not Yakety Yak?" Discord asked.
"What?" Prince Rutherford said.
"Once again, this whole broadcast has been brought to you by chaos. It's everything. Get used to it." Discord said while a logo appears reading 'Chaos- It's everything'. Discord walks in front of it.
Suddenly, the yellow pegasus named Fluttershy arrived.
"Who are you talking to, Discord?" Fluttershy asked.
"Oh, to our lovely watchers. Hello." Discord said while waving at the screen. Fluttershy looked real closely.
Meanwhile, Spectrus was preparing himself.
"The magic of the alicorns is powerful. It's power is more powerful than those ponies who work for you." Tirek said.
"They're magic is indeed powerful. I also have magic on my side, but where I come from we have something else to defend us." Spectrus said.
He brought out a big suitcase and opened it. Inside was a very strange weapon. A weapon that ponies and even Tirek have never seen before. Spectrus took it out of the suitcase and prepared it. He even brought out some small projectiles.
"How can tiny pieces of 'lead', as you call it, hurt and kill a pony? What kind of power is hidden in these things?" Tirek asked while grabbing one of those weapons.
Spectrus saw the weapon and grabbed his hand carefully and slowly took it out of his hand to make sure no one gets hurt.
"If ponies never seen these beauties before, it would be easy as pie." Spectrus said. "Trust on your own special skills and abilities. Let my guys wield these."
Meanwhile, in the ballroom.
"Say, where did Celestia go? I didn't upset or scare her, did I?" Discord asked.
"You didn't do anything wrong, Discord. She's just preparing herself for the party." Twilight said and saw the present in his lion paw and eagle talon. "What's inside?"
"Something very special." Discord said and whispered something in her ear.
"Oh, that's so sweet." Twilight said.
Suddenly, a pony with a trumpet appeared. He blew the trumpet and everypony was quiet.
"Ladies and gentlecolts, may I present to you 'Her Royal Highness' and the 'Bringer of the Sun': Princess Celestia." the pony announced. And all of a sudden, the princess arrived in the most beautiful dress anypony has ever seen. Everypony awed and cheered. Discord's eyes went wide and his mouth went wide open. He even began to howl like a cartoon wolf and his face changed into one.
"Guess that's my cue." Rainbow Dash said. She flies into the air and created a sonic rainboom.
Princess Celestia went through the crowd and all the ponies bowed for her, even Discord.
"Please, my little ponies. No bowing for today. This is a special day. Even for you Discord." She spoke to her subjects and then she turned her attention to Discord.
"You look gorgeous, Princess." Discord said. Celestia blushed by that.
"Thank you, Discord." She said.
"I have something for you." Discord said while presenting his gift.
"For me?" Celestia asked. Discord nodded.
The princess unwrapped the gift and couldn't believe her eyes at what she saw. It was a beautiful necklace with a swan hanging on the chain.
"Discord. It's lovely." the princess said while she tries it on.
"Happy birthday, Your Majesty." Discord said.
"You can call me 'Celestia' as usual." She said while giving a kiss on Discord's cheek. Discord blushed a bit from that and Celestia giggled.
Meanwhile, Spectrus was ready.
"You and the others distract the guards." He said to Tirek.
"A part of your plan?" Tirek asked.
"The best part and it's a huge one." Spectrus said while petting an elephant's trunk. Then he knocked on the baskets that were attached to the camels. "It is time."
From the baskets, the villains and ponies emerge. Including Fido, Chrysalis, Gilda, A Chimera and Garble. All of them looked with a mischievous grin.
In the meantime, Celestia was very happy with all the gifts that she's having.
"Thank you. All of you." She said.
"Everypony helped including us." Twilight said.
"Thank you, Twilight and friends. You really shouldn't have done this."
"It's okay. Everything to make the princess happy." Rainbow Dash said.
"Especially when there's a party to give." Pinkie said while devouring a huge cake.
The Mane Six and the princess laughed.
In the meantime, Spectrus was on a tower, angling his sword to the sun. On the ground, Tirek sees the reflection of Spectrus' Sword. He smiles and walks a few feet to a nearby elephant that Fido is trying to push, with little luck. Tirek pushes him out of the way. Suddenly, Queen Chrysalis came next to Tirek.
"Let me handle this. Let me be the point girl!" She said while aiming her horn.
The elephant felt Chrysalis' horn stabbing his butt.
In the ballroom, the ground began to shake.
"Why is the earth moving? We haven't started the party yet." Discord said.
"Hey! This makes my voice sound silly!" Pinkie's voice vibrated.
The ponies turned around and saw the elephants burst through the castle.
"STAMPEEEEEDE!!" Rainbow Dash and Discord said in unison. Discord was wearing cowboy hat and plaids.
The ponies began to panic and run for their lives while the elephants destroy anything in their path.
"What's going on here?!" Spike screamed while catching the presents that were falling from the tables that were shaking.
An elephant nearly stepped on Apple Bloom, but she was saved by Applejack.
"You better get out of here. This is no place for a filly." She said.
"But Applejack..." Apple Bloom said. But before she could finish, her sister demanded it.
"NOW!" Applejack shouted and Apple Bloom ran off.
Suddenly, an elephant trampled and walked over Pinkie Pie.
"Pinkie!" Rainbow shouted and ran towards Pinkie who was flat and then turned back to normal. "Pinkie. Are you okay? Speak to me."
"But mommy, I don't want to go to school today." Pinkie said dizzily.
One of the elephants went towards Princess Celestia, Luna and Twilight. Twilight pushed them out of the way just in time. The elephant destroyed the stage. The royal guards arrived just in time to see what's going on. Shining Armor joined them too, but they didn't know a cloaked figure was watching them from a chandelier. Several ponies were running out of the castle.
"It is an attack!" One guard said.
The ponies were forced back inside the castle. The villains have arrived. The guards were shocked, but went for the attack.
"Not in this castle." Another guard said while preparing his horn.
The evil ponies who were with them were doing karate moves. Rover threw some of his gems to pin the guest ponies to the walls, while the other Diamond Dogs were stealing stuff from them. The elephants kept on rampaging and pieces of the ceiling began to fall.
During that time, Spectrus was walking into the crowd of panicking ponies, but they weren't paying attention to him. He prepared his strange weapon and looked if there was anypony who was standing in his way. He suddenly saw Shining Armor fighting a few evil ponies. He seems to win. Spectrus didn't like that, he aimed his weapon on Shining Armor and pulled the trigger. The shot hit Shining who felt undescribable pain and fell to the ground. Princess Cadence saw that and ran to Shining Armor.
"Shining Armor!" She shouted.
Unable to stand up, Shining Armor laid on the ground. An evil pony tried to kill him with his own strange weapon, but Cadence pushed him out of the way. Cadence and the pony where pushing against each other to in. But finally, Cadence shot a blast of magic towards the pony sending him flying towards the wall. Spectrus moved further to search what he's looking for, but his presence drew the attention of a certain cyan pegasus with a rainbow mane.
"Who is that guy?" She said to herself and followed Spectrus.
Meanwhile, more pieces of the ceiling were falling.
"Oh, I think we're going to have a little problem with leaks." Discord said and flew towards the ceiling to position himself in front of the hole.
More ponies were running for their lives while the villains and henchponies kept on stealing from them. They did it in very different ways. Sliding under them. Taking things while they're running. Even Gilda threw a pony away and stole a pouch with bits. She's happy with her price, but gave a glare at the guards that were coming straight at her. Gilda used her talon to hit a pillar and make it fall. Making the guards stop. During that time, Spectrus in pony form was looking for the Elements at certain places while pushing certain things away.
"They must be here somewhere." He said. Suddenly, a golden plate flied over his head and Spectrus ducked. He turned to see Rainbow Dash glaring at him.
"Meet your match, punk!" she said.
Spectrus approached her while turning into his true form. Rainbow was careful by that display. "Good pony. Don't you want to have a sack with o..."
Before he could finish, Rainbow Dash became more threatening.
"If you say 'oats', I'll put those oats straight into your muzzle!" She shouted. And she began to throw a few punches aggressively at Spectrus while he dodged them. All of a sudden, his hand grabbed Rainbow's hoof and picked her up.
"There's a lot of spirit in you." he said and pushed her into a nearby vase. "And a lot of mouth."
The villains kept on stealing. The Diamond Dogs were gathering together to attack Twilight. She saw them and began to shoot blasts of magic, but she missed them. A guard was attacking a strong henchpony, but the henchpony used his fist to send him flying. The henchpony laughed and ran off. The guard lands behind two other guards. They looked at him for a second, then turned to Tirek who was preparing himself for an attack.
"Ha ha ha." Tirek laughed. The guards were going to attack, but Tirek sucked the energy out of them. He laughed again. The guards were feeling weak. Then Gilda was taking their armor of by slashing her talons. The guards covered themselves in shame.
"They fight like demons!" The first guard said.
"Worse than demons. They're Equestria's greatest enemies." The second guard said.
"But who are those ponies that are with them?" Discord said while he's still on the ceiling.
"And why is the Mane-iac even her? Doesn't she come from a comic book?" Spike said while seeing the Mane-iac and her henchponies attacking and stealing from the guest ponies.
Twilight looked around her and saw Spectrus walking out of the ballroom.
"The better question is: Who's leading them?" She said and followed Spectrus.
At some point, Spectrus in his pony form found the tower of the Elements.
"There we are. Ah, so many memories." He said while running towards the door where the Elements are hidden. "Now let me see." He said while reading some pages in a book that he brought with him. "Aha, there it is." He found what he's looking for. He puts the book away and focused on the door. His horn began to glow and pushed it in the hole. The door seemed to react to his magic and went open. "Yay." He said silently. The door revealed a casket. "My, my. So generous, Celestia. Putting them in a special casket just for me." He grabbed the casket with his magic and opened it. "Ah. At last. They're a bit different then what they're normally suppose to look like, but okay." He grabbed the necklaces in his hooves and then grabbed the crown. He raised it in the air to have a better look at it. Suddenly, he was pushed to the ground and the Elements fell on the ground. Standing above him was Twilight holding the crown with her magic aura.
"Can I see your invitation before you run off with my crown?" She said.
"Stay away from me, kid, and no harm will come to you!" He said while grabbing the casket and throwing it to Twilight.
"Ah!" Twilight got hit by the casket and fell on the ground. Spectrus jumped on her trying to take the crown away from her. He began to transform into his true form and grabbed Twilight's horn.
"You fool! You don't stand a chance against Equestria's TRUE ruler." Spectrus said.
"When I get up, I'll bow to you." Twilight said while kicking him away.
In the ballroom or somewhere else in the castle, Rover saw his chance on something. But somepony tapped on his shoulder, he quickly turned around, but it was too late for him. Rarity gave him a very hard punch against his cheek and fell to the ground.
"That was for calling me 'a mule'." She said.
The two other Diamond Dogs went to Rover. Amazed by Rarity's punch, they stopped to watch.
"Huh?" They both said and suddenly two fireballs went to the dogs that were spit by Spike making them fall on the ground.
Meanwhile, Spectrus and Twilight where trying to overpower each other to get the crown. Neither one of them had an advantage.
More henchponies went to Spike and tried to attack him, but Spike spit a ball of fire at the chandelier above them. The henchponies were just looking at the chandelier that was dropping on them. Meanwhile, Discord moves away from the ceiling, noticing that the only part left is the part he was protecting.
"I guess there's really no point to this now." He said while disappearing in a flash.
Wind Rider, Garble and Ahuizotl were running through the halls with a lot of stolen things. Suddenly, Discord appeared before them. He growled with a mischievous grin while crossing his arms. The three villains prepared themselves for the worst, taunting Discord with their abilities. Discord began to raise his eyebrows up and down to the camera. He suddenly changed into a ninja with sais and many more Discord ninja's appeared behind him. Some of them have different weapons. They waved their weapons around and then stopped. The villains ran away in fear. Discord changed himself and heard an elephant making noise. Discord smiled while looking at it. He made himself big and picked the elephant up. He pointed his trunk to the villains and henchponies like a gun.
"Freeze, evil-doers; don't make me use the other end!" he said while making the elephant blow wind to blow the henchponies away. Suddenly the trunk deflates and Discord puts the elephant down. He then shot some magic from his eagle talon and hit the Flim Flam Brothers in the butt while also hitting their specialised crane machine. Then he conjured a bench and was dressed while holding a box of chocolates.
"Momma always said 'Chaos is like a box of chocolates." He said.
"Spectrus said nothing about facing the powers of a Draconequus." Queen Chrysalis said.
"Discord is a mighty opponent indeed. Get the others out of here while I wait for Spectrus." Tirek said.
Meanwhile, Twilight and Spectrus were still trying to overpower each other. Suddenly, Spectrus let loose and shot a magic beam from his hands at Twilight. Twilight shot one too from her horn. The beams were trying to overpower one another. They're both strong. Suddenly, Spectrus stopped the beam and shot a blast of magic at Twilight's hooves causing the ground to explode and making Twilight fall on the ground. She was unconscious and Spectrus approached her while aiming his strange weapon at Twilight.
"You picked the wrong guy to argue with." He said. He was about to pull the trigger until...
"STOP!" Somepony said behind him. He turned around and saw a familiar white alicorn with a sun cutie mark. "Don't you dare touch her." She threatened.
"Well, well. How time flies. So many years ago and after so many years I see you back." Spectrus said. He looks like he's in his 20's and his voice sounds more like a teenager. "But after so many years, you actually haven't changed a bit. Immortality sure has a lot of advantages in my opinion. Even I found a way to gain immortality and eternal youth."
"Who are you?" The princess asked.
"Don't you remember me? Don't you remember a sweet little boy? Or did all those years made you forget about that time? After all, isn't family suppose to be closest to you." He said.
The princess eyes went wide. But then she said "What do you mean?"
"Maybe this will help." He said. He took the hood of his head and his face (music at 1:44) is finally revealed. He wasn't a pony after all. He had black hair and yellow eyes. He also had a little beard and a little moustache. The princess's eyes went completely wide. Her body began to shake. She went a bit closer to him.
" S... Sunlight?" She said.
Spectrus' eyes went wide when he heard that. "I don't live by that ridiculous stuffed animal name anymore. It's SPECTRUS! And your time is up." He said while pointing at Celestia. He began to aim his weapon at her, but then he got hit a blast of magic from Twilight's horn. He fell to the ground and quickly putted his hood back on. He began to shoot a blast of magic from his own at Twilight. Suddenly, an elephant bursts through the door and charged at Celestia, Twilight and Spectrus. Twilight and Spectrus stopped and looked at it. Celestia pushed Twilight out of the way while Spectrus dodged the elephant's attack. He quickly grabbed two Elements of Harmony. The elephant created another hole in the room and ran off.
"Twilight. Are you okay?" Celestia asked.
"I'm fine, princess." She looked around and saw Spectrus was gone. "Where's that guy?"
It is revealed Spectrus was holding on the elephants back while they left the room. He jumped off and looked at the crumbling castle.
"I'll see you again, kid." He said.
Meanwhile inside the castle. Discord brushed some dust from him. The walls began to crumble. He looked around and bit on his lion paw.
"Oooh...This is not my fault! This was not built to code!" He said while more pillars and walls crumbled.
"Rarity! Rarity!" Spike called.
"Over here, Spike." Rarity called. Spike found here beneath a pile of debris.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Rarity coughed.
"What was going on in here?" Spike asked himself.
During that time, Rainbow freed herself from the vase.
"Why that little... Where is he? I'll crush him to bits!" She shouted and flew everywhere to find Spectrus. Then she found Twilight and Celestia. "Princess. Twilight. You're okay."
"We're fine. Rainbow, see if nopony else is hurt." Twilight said.
"I'm on it." Rainbow said and flew away.
Celestia was completely shocked of everything especially seeing Spectrus.
"Princess? Princess. Is everything alright? You know who that was, don't you?" Twilight asked.
Celestia looked to the floor and spoke silently.
"He's my son."
