Act XXIII: ShOd Drastic soporifiC
Scene i: sorDid c
Everyone stared in shock at the large hole that Spike had disappeared into as the town became dead silent. Then, without warning, a huge fountain of pink liquid spurted out of the hole. Everyone shouted and ran as they were covered in the liquid.
Pinkie sniffed the air, and then broke out into a smile. "Ooh! Strawberry Milk!" Pinkie lay on her back and caught the sweet milk in her mouth. As she swallowed the sweet milk, her eyes sparkled and her mane and tail poofed back to its normal poofiness.
Pinkie wasn't the only one affected by the milk. As pink milk rained over all of Ponyvile, everypony who came in contact with it stopped in their tracks and gained an odd sparkle in their eyes. The milk even turned into steam and sought out anypony in doors.
In the midst of all this, Sweetie Belle was on the ground, trying to shake the milk out of her once pure white coat. "Oh, come on!" she complained as she wrung out her soaked mane. She turned to see everypony standing around in what looked like shock. She turned to see her friends standing close together. Silver Spoon looked over and saw Sweetie Belle staring at them. Silver Spoon gasped, and the rest of her friends turned and gave Sweetie Belle looks of horror. They immediately turned and ran.
"What-? Where are you-? Come back!" Sweetie Belle shouted.
Deep laughter quickly caught Sweetie Belle's attention. She turned to the pink milk geyser to see something slowly rising out of it. Her eyes widened as the Spirit of Chaos himself came out, with Spike clinging to his back.
Discord landed on the ground, and then levitated Spike to ground level. He patted the dragon on the head and said, "Go on. Be free."
Spike nodded, and he quickly ran in the direction of Ponyvile General Hospital.
Discord waved goodbye with his lion paw, and then turned to look at Sweetie Belle. "Well, well, well. What do we have here?" he said as he rubbed his hands together.
Sweetie Belle felt herself shake with fear, but then she gathered her nerve and stepped forward. "Why did you set Spike free? Don't you know what he did to me and Rarity? Aren't you supposed to be reformed?"
Discord actually face palmed with his paw. "Oh for goodness sake! Are you really trying to fool me? That's actually kinda sad."
Sweetie Belle's stomach lurched as fear began to fill her.
"You shouldn't have messed with Fluttershy, my dear little filly," Discord said as he approached Sweetie Belle while wagging a finger of his eagle claw.
Sweetie Belle turned to run, but then a section of the ground sprang up on a spring and tossed her right back to Discord's feet. The filly cried out and got up again, walking backwards from Discord.
"Give up yet?" Discord said with a smile.
Sweetie Belle trembled a bit more, but then she turned to the wet crowd around here and shouted, "See! He's still evil! The reformation didn't work! Just look!"
Sweetie Belle then turned back to Discord with a green glowing horn and started singing.
I'm not a fan puppeteers
But I have a nagging fear
Someone else is pulling at the strings
Something terrible is going down
Throughout the entire town
Wreaking anarchy and all it brings
I can't sit idly
No, I can't move at all!
I curse the name
The one behind it all!
Discord! I'm howling at the moon!
And sleeping in the middle of a summer afternoon!
Disocrd! Whatever did we do
To make you-
SPLAT!
Out of nowhere, a giant banana cream pie fell from the sky and landed right on top of Sweetie Belle.
Alright, let's just sort this out. . .hmm. . .which song would be the best to school this filly. Hmm. . .this song sounds good. . .oh but that one is good too. Fine let's do this one first and then the other one. Okay, I'll just stick it here, and off we go!
Scene ii: erRoneouSlY decay nOt
Discord teleported over to the pie and effortlessly flipped it over, revealing Sweetie Belle lying covered in cream.
"Sorry, dear. But that's not gonna work, thanks to my magic milk shower and gave everyone," Discord said as he tapped Sweetie Belle's horn. He then swiped his claw across Sweetie Belle's forehead and licked the frosting off. He smiled, "Mmm! not bad! Don't get up. I'll get that for you." Discord then shot out his long serpentine tongue and wrapped it around Sweetie Belle, pulling all the frosting off of her and swallowing it all in one gulp.
"Auugh!" Sweetie Belle shouted as she jumped backwards, but soon realized that she was perfectly clean. He coat was pure white once again.
Discord laughed in amusement at Sweetie Belle's shock, and then flew close to her and nudged her on the side.
I must admit, your parlor tricks were amusing
I bet you've got a bunny under your mane!
Discord reached into Sweetie Belle's mane and pulled out Angel Bunny, who was soaking wet for some reason. He threw Angel to ground as he continued singing.
You had your chance to get the best of me,
But my hand was hot!
C'mon, Shores, is that really all you got?
You tried to slam me with your hardest stuff
But your double whammy wasn't up to snuff
I'll set the record straight
You're simply out of date
You're only second rate!
Discord snapped his fingers and made a tiger appear. Sweetie Belle screamed in terror as the tiger pounced on her. . .only to lick her face and purr like a kitten.
Discord just laughed.
You think your cat's a meanine, but your tiger's tame
You've got a lot to learn about the chaos game
So for your information,
I'll reiterate
You're only second rate!
There was a flash, and Sweetie Belle was suddenly standing in the palm of Discord's paw. To her horror, Discord's face was on every finger.
Mares cower at the power in my pinky
My thumb is number one on every list
But if you're not convinced that I'm invincible,
Put me to the test!
I'd love to lay this rivalry to rest!
Discord made a fist, but Sweetie Belle was teleported out of his hand and put on top of a big cake in the middle of Ponyvile. Discord suddenly burst out of the top of the cake
Go ahead and charm me with song surprise
Snap me in a trap, cut me down to size
I'll make a big escape
It's just a piece of cake
You're only second rate!
You know, your hocus-pocus isn't tough enough
And your mumbo-jumbo doesn't measure up
Let me pontificate
Upon your sorry state
You're only second rate!
Discord gained a set of skis and skied down the cake after the fleeing filly.
Zaba-caba-dabra!
Dsicord's gonna grab ya!
Sweetie Belle turned and screamed when she saw that Discord had now grown 5 times bigger.
Alakazam-da-mus
And this thing's bigger than the both of us!
So spare me your tremendous scare!
You're just filly, not even a mare!
And I can hardly wait
To discombobulate
I'll send ya back and packing in a shipping crate
You'll make a better living with a spinning plate
You're only second rate!
Discord reached out a huge claw to grab Sweetie Belle. She looked at it with wide eyes, and then turned back to see where she was going. It was then that she saw the huge hole. Sweetie Belle tried to stop, but it was too late. The filly screamed as she tumbled down into the dark hole and fell. She screamed louder and louder and louder as she fell down, down, down amid the darkness, which turned into a blur of infinite colors, which then turned into bright white light that caused Sweetie Belle to loose consciousness.
Scene iii: hiT alerT
It was silent, but Sweetie Belle felt the presence of many around her. She opened her eyes slowly, and nearly fainted again from shock. Sitting in front of her was possibly the entire population of Ponyvile. Sweetie Belle looked around, and she realized that she was in a courtroom of some kind. She turned one way, and she saw that Discord was the judge. He wore a white powdered wig and black robes. Sweetie Belle turned another way, and she saw that the jury was Button Mach, Dinky Hooves, Applebloom, Scootaloo, and Silver Spoon were the jury. Sweetie Belle then suddenly realized that she was at the defendant's place.
The doors at the back of the audience suddenly opened, and the whole crowd burst into applause. Sweetie Belle's eyes widened as she immediately recognized who had just entered the room. It was that human, Phoenix Wright, the ace attorney that had proved Rainbow Dash innocent of murdering Ace Swift a while back. Hope arose in Sweetie Belle. Perhaps he had come to defend her from Discord.
The filly watched the blue suited human stride up towards the front of the courtroom where all could see. Mr. Wright looked over to Discord, then at Sweetie Belle, then back at Discord. He then took a deep breath, and spoke.
Good morning, Discord, your honor
Justice will plainly show
Wright pointed accusingly at Sweetie Belle, causing her to cower back slightly.
The prisoner who now stands before you
Was caught red-handed spreading chaos
Spreading chaos of an almost inhuman nature
This will not do
Sweetie Belle gulped, all of her hopes dashed to pieces.
"I call Fluttershy to the stand!" Wright shouted.
Seemingly out of no where, Fluttershy flew into the room. Her color was no longer grey. Her yellow coat and pink hair shone like a Crystal Pony. She flew over to the witness stand and spoke out strongly.
I tried to tell her what she did was horribly wrong, your honor!
If she'd let me have my way I could
Have reformed her into shape
But my hooves were tied
The bleeding hearts and artists
Let her get away with murder
Can you discipline her today?
Wright nodded, and he turned to Sweetie Belle, "What do you have to say for yourself?"
Sweetie Belle was rocking back and forth, her mind slowly collapsing under all the stress.
"My talent is singing Fate. Singing Destiny! I'm supposed to be in control! Why aren't I in control?"
Sweetie Belle hung her head as she began to realize that she was about to pay big time. She whimpered out her words miserably.
Crazy
Bats in the belfry, I am crazy
Truly gone loony
They must have taken my marbles away
The entire jury nodded sadly. Scootaloo and Applebloom were actually crying. The whole jury sang sadly, "Crazy. Bats in the belfry, she is crazy."
"I call Princess Luna to the stand!" Wright said.
Discord snapped his fingers, and a beam of moonlight shot down onto the witness stand after Fluttershy left it. Princess Luna appeared at the stand and glared hatefully at Sweetie Belle.
You little brat, you're in it, now
I hope they throw away the key
You should have just given up all your magic to me, but no!
You had to go your own way, have you broken any homes up lately?
Luna leaned in close to Sweetie Belle with a vicious, violent, and dangerous look in her eye. She then gave a bone chilling smile.
Just five minutes, Discord your honor
Her and me, alone.
"Baaaaaaaaaaabe!" a voice shouted.
Everyone turned to see Sweetie Belle's mother rushing forward. However, Luna's two bat winged pony guards came in and restrained her. Pearl shouted out to Sweetie Belle, holding out her hooves to her.
Come to mother baby!
Let me hold you in my hooves!
Please, I never wanted her to get in any trouble
Why'd she ever have to do this?
Discord, your honor, let me take him home!
A guilt like no other arose in Sweetie Belle's heart. The gravity of what she had been doing slowly began to dawn upon her. Her insides began to scream in anguish as she recalled giving Rarity that potion, attacking Rarity, and framing Spike so he'd be burned. She even began to regret what she did to Princess Twilight and Diamond Tiara. This thought completely disoriented her, as her entire being believed that those two fully deserved what they got. As her head spun, Sweetie Belle moaned out pathetically.
Crazy
Over the rainbow, I am crazy
Bars in the window
There must have been a cuckoo in the clock
Inside my head
"Crazy. Over the rainbow, she is crazy," the jury sang sadly.
Sweetie Belle looked slowly over to Discord. The Draconequis tossed his gavel up and down casually for a minute or two. Then, he snapped his fingers and transformed into the judge that was at Rainbow Dash's trial. However, the entire courtroom went dark and red spotlights shone on the judges face, witch was suddenly twisted in rage and hate. The judge stood up suddenly and began roaring with unbridled rage and disgust directly at Sweetie Belle.
The evidence before the court is Incontrovertible!
There's no need for the jury to retire!
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before!
Of someone more deserving, of the full penalty of law!
The way you made them suffer: Your sister, princesses, and mother!
Fills me with the urge to defecate!
Since, my friend, you have revealed your deepest fear!
I sentence you to be exposed before your peers!
An unbridled terror unlike anything Sweetie Belle had ever experienced, Nightmare Moon and the Cockatrice included, filled her entire being as she turned to the crowd around before her.
The judge turned back into Discord who shouted at the top of his lungs.
"UNDO THE SPELL!"
The entire crowd rose up and took up the chant.
"Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell!. . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . . . .Undo the spell!. . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .. . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .Undo the spell! . . .

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Curtain!
I knew that Discord would stomp Sweetie Belle.
3592021 .......still trying to figure out why. so somehow he can withstand mental suggestion when enither luna nor celestia could............. makes no sense. no damn sense. he may be a being of chaos, but he is not beyond manipulation and altering of his perspective. that is what happened to him when he befriended fluttershy.
it is made worse because it affected princess luna............... and by all evidence no, discord is not more powerful than the sisters. or at least by any amount that would make him immune to suggestion. celestia did manage to use a spell so powerful that it made discord completely icnapable of moving the elements of harmony at all, completely defying his powers.
The Living Tombstone DID NOT MAKE DISCORD. It always ticks me off when people think it's him who made it! THAT'S A REMIX!!!! This is the song!
GET IT RIGHT! ...Whew, my Flutterrage came out of nowhere.
3592051 Discord made Celestia and Luna his b*tch quite plainly and their tone in referring to him is complete fear. Discord>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Celestia and Luna
3592172 okay. that explains how she is able to complete block a chosen object from being affected in any way by his magic. she is weaker.................
no they have never showed fear towards discord. rage, yes, concern, definitely, but they never feared him. you base it solely on your disdain for the princesses rather than focus on the facts. A. they managed to directly fight him with minimum injury, and were also able to escape him. B. Discord was seemingly unabel to simply bind them with his magic in some way, like taking their wings and horns, and had to rely on his plot against the tree to restrain them. a tree that, even with most of its power taken, held back a giant magic forest for a thousand years. C. Celestia is easily able to block discord's magic. unlikely a useful weapon against him but it shows that his magic is far from beyond her. D. Discord obviously felt no confidence in breaking them like he did breaking the mane six, and while he mocked them, believing his plan was working, he was still turned to stone for a millennia and his plan halted near indefinitely.
the evidence shows that no, he is not totally beyond them. moer than likely his magic power is either equivalent to a single sister or slightly above, but it is the nature of his magic that gives him an edge. chaos is a powerful tool, and allows him to work around certain limitations of magic. more than likely, as i said, his conflict with the sisters was a Draw, leaving the sisters unable to kill or seal him away without turning far too much of the land into an abstract ruin, and Discord fearing the sisters enoguh that he had to create a plan to bind them. it may seem, oh he was manipulting them into taking the elements out. however here is the thing. the Tree was already far beyond him, and that means the forest itself was far beyond him at it takes all of the tree's strength, with the elements, to properly contain the Everfree. killing the tree meant releasing everything in the everfree, and possibly something more powerful than himself or alicorns as well.
>>lordofmyth Well... You have to remember that Discord ruled the World before Celestia and Luna found the elements. Without the elements they could not defeat him. You have to consider that that would mean before Celestia and Luna "usurped the throne" Discord did everything they did when he wanted to. such as the sun and moon rising, stars, etc. That's not to say that Discord should be able to ignore fate... But It's possible. Suspension of disbelief. just enjoy the story I say. It's interesting. Also just to mention it, discord technically succeeded in defeating the princesses. If you consider that the opening to Season 4 was his doing... He planted those seeds causing the everfree to attack. This was at least partially due to the plants sneaking up on the princesses, but still they could not escape. So without the elements which they used to turn him to stone, they would have been captured. This brings both princesses + the elements to the same amount of power Discord just naturally has. So it's not entirely impossible he could defeat sweetie belle easier than the princesses.
3592704 actually his dialogue revealed that, in fact, the vines stole the tree's energy. however they were left dormant by the tree's power, too great for them to overcome, but over the millennium the strain of holding back the forest seemed to have left an opportunity come.
basically the vines and seeds were independent faculties from not only the everfree but discord himself, as they had become something more powerful than even himself after they consumed so much of the tree's life. harming or manipulating its outgrowths is not equal to just reversing the plants attack.
besides it is more interesting to thinkthat the battle between discord and the regal sisters was a draw. discord's ability making him a hard target to hurt, the combat causing abstract ruin, and on discord's side realizing that the sisters acutally are more than powerful enough to kill him should they decide that they decided that ending him was worth any amount of harm to the land.
also he clearly did nto rule the world. he appeared sometime between equistria's founding and the regal sister's appearance, and it is not certian if that time spands a few decades or a few centuries. he was not present to the world before this period of time, either not existing or for some reason not being willing or even able to spread chaos. and when he did take over, his reign only held some of equistria and non of the neighboring lands.
>>lordofmyth I kind of was agreeing with the draw thing. Consider for example, that the crusaders had not released discord. The plants would have happened regardless, and twilight may not have been an alicorn. Thus, discord would be a statue and the forest would of eventually taken over everything. Leaving the fight a draw. However the elements of harmony are the reason that discord was sealed regardless. Also either way a single one of the two sisters could not defeat him. Both of them, working together, would be equal to their combined power. And that was what it took to seal him. So in the context of this story, sweetie dealt with the two separately. meaning her magic was somewhere between the power of one of the sisters, and their combined / discord level power. That is what would make sense anyways.
3592309 Celestia is smart, Discord is stupid. Her creating a spell that would be hard for Discord to solve is not a big deal. Not to mention that he broke her first spell with no effort.
I show no disdain for the Princesses but the fact is that Discord overrided their control of the Sun and Moon just by existing shows a huge advantage. They escaped bruised and beaten while Discord was untouched. Surely, they seem equal Not to mention that Discord obviously wasn't going for the kill, he never does. A Discord who was holding back was stomping the sisters into tomorrow. Discord didn't bind them because he didn't need to, they were no threat to him in any way. The Tree was a contingency in case he was somehow defeated, Discord is quite cunning and it is possible he thought up that idea as a back-up plan. When did Celestia block Discord's magic? All I saw was Discord trashing Celestia's magic. Discord mocked them because he felt them inferior, which supports everything. Not to mention that Celestia and Luna beating him means nothing since they used the Elements.
He overpowered their control of the Sun and Moon with his mere presence and was untouched while they were bruised and scratched! How is it that Discord is only equal to one?! Discord did not fear the sisters but he was being careful by planting the seeds. The Tree of Harmony being a guardian for something worse than Discord is the most insane logic ever. If that were the case ,why would Celestia and Luna take the Elements?
You are being a blind fan-boy and ignoring the fact that Discord made Celestia and Luna look like toys compared to him.
Elements of Harmony>>Demon Sunset>Discord>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Crystal Heart>Love Shield>>Chrysalis with love>>Nightmare Moon>=Celestia=Luna>=Sombra>>>>>Smoke Sombra>Cadence>Chrysalis
3593258 .............. really? block his magic is as in used magic that discord cannot affect. if he truly was that much more powerful than her, then he could have broke through the spell protecting the elements easily.
not to mention that he simply bypassed the magic door.... that is all he did. no one could force open the door but he simply bypassed the door altogether. it was not exactly designed with dsicord in mind it seems. and he did nto take control of the moon or sun, for he does not Control things. for control is not Chaos, but Order. he caused the sun and moon to become abberrated from their normal path. its the same thing that Twilight did to his spell the altered the perception of his friends, bypassing the magic and attacking the core. ignore the beings controlling the sun and moon and cause their normal function tiself to flip flop.
basically that is his powr in a nutshell. he is not a god, for his powers have extreme limits. he cannot control, only abberate. he is distortion and mayhem, and by that he could probably be difficult to slay by mundane means, always shifting and changing. however that does not make him invisible, and as i am forced to repeat again and again and again it seems, he could not defeat the regal sisters. he could not bind them or take their horns or wings.
and i am not saying they could have beat him easily. jsut saying it seems that his demise would have been a cataclusm in itself, too much for the alicorns to even dare try.
3593320 Discord was so far beyond the sister's power that the sisters resorted to grabbing the Elements from the Tree. They weren't going to beat him, ever. If they were worried about collateral damage, just take him over an ocean
3593341 which would then transform into ice and or ice cream and ruin the area.
if discord saw them as no therat then why did he plant the seeds? if they were that weak, why risk unleashing the everfree? the tree of harmony kept its influence to binding the everfree, which is likey a thing containing ofrces far beyond either the regal sisters or discord considering the power that binds it.
seems to me what the pricnesses fear is not discord but the escalation of the conflict with him. it is one thing for discord to warp the clouds to rain chocolate milk, another for him to warp an area in an attempt to destroy another or defend himself.
3592072
Okay, I fixed it. Sorry.
3592051
The Stare didn't work on Discord.
Also, Discord said "What fun is there in making sense" in Return of Harmony part one. So the fact that it makes no sense adds support to this. But then again it does make sense because Celestia and Luna were no match for Discord without the Elements of Harmony, so Discord would be immune to Sweetie Belle's singing. So it's a paradox of sense, which makes no sense. Genius!
Also, Discord had that magical milk to free everyone from the suggestions Sweetie Belle put in their minds.
3593437 no one ever said they were no match.......... i haven't the faintest where anyone got that idea. wholereason why celestia and luna stand back when a threat emerges is for the sake of not escalating the situation. nightmare moon and celestia's brief duel showed what happenes when two beings as pwoerful as they are fight, even when it is a battle of avoidance rather than direct combat. had she and celestia fought directly, it would have likely devestated the surrounding area. it also showed what would have happened if she had dicrectly fought the likes of sombra.
it seems, considering the evidence of discord not only being seemingly unable to bind the sister's such as take awy their horns and wings like he did ot the mane six, but relying on his seeds to steal the tree's magic to restrain them, risking unleashing the forces the tree bound to begin with. it would be far more ineresting a concept, i would say at least, if the reason why they could nto defeat discord is less a lack a power and more fear of the consequences it would bring. it is hard to have trust in the ponies they want to protect if they are seen fighting and causing havoc and mayhem while trying to destroy their enemies, basicalyl behving less like saviors and more like gods of war.
in the end, dsicord used the seeds to bind them. it was his intention, and he did not have much motivation for killing the tree, and may have, in fact, had reasoning to avoid harming it. considering the massive forest that needs a god form like tree to keep it from spreading and keep whatever is in it from waking up.
3593528 Discord was so powerful, that his very existence was warping the world around him. Celestia battling Nightmare Moon proves that at full power, they're barely able to topple buildings. Discord crushes them like flies
3593573 no, him warping the world around him has nothing to do with levels of power. if we are determining magical feats are only done by one singular magic form, then Spike is actually as powerful as Princess Celestia, as she is able to use a spell that destroy a latter, has the ashes track a target, then reforms, and spike does the same.
his powers are limited to only warping the thigns around him. he disturbs how things work not because he is some god, therea re no gods unless their bark looks like diamonds, but because that is the nature of his magic. people compare him to Q, but i find that innaccurate. q was something unlike anything else that existed in star trek, and alien thing that did nto truly belong. Discord is still pretty much common fair relatively in equistria. he may distort the world around him, but it is within a limited field and effect. they know how he does it even, him being chaotic and his chaos being distortion and abberration.
put simply. he has a loophole. like how spike can cast the same fiery magic that celestia uses to send letters, as he is a dragon after all and fire is his thing. having your magic take on a certain nature can basically make getting a certain reaciotn easier.
3593528
What I'm trying to get across is that Discord's mind is stronger than the Princesses due to its flexible and chaotic nature.
3593642 The Sun and Moon are not close to Earth, yet Discord warped them as well with no effort.
Enraged Celestia: Barely able to topple buildings
Heavily Suppressed Discord: Destroying towns
3593748 ...................... you do realize that it is highly unlikely the sun and moon of equistria's universe are the same as ours?
and now you are creating non existant examples. put simply discord's seeming god like power comes certainly far from being anything close to dvinity and more to the nature of his magic being entirely of chaos. her is a creature specilized. however specilization has its own problems, such as not being able to project raw magic as your powers are tied to flipflopping the laws of physics.
i repeat. if he was that powerful, why did he not strip the princesses of their wings and horns? only solution to that is to say, he was incapable of doing that to them, they were too strong. and to answer how they could not kill him........ well he would be kinda hard to give a solid hit on with his abilities.
thus, a stalemate... though one that is sitll more defeat for the sisters. they need to eliminate him yet they dare not wreck havoc upon half of equstria to do so. so long as the stalemate continued discord can continue his reign, though obviously he would have reason to fear the sisters should they one day decide that turning a part of equistria into a crater was worth being rid of him. and thus the vines, which he would not need if he was as powerful as you say.
sometimes the problem is not power. sometimes it is the nature of the enemy. from what i can see the problem was less one side stronger than the other and more neither side had the power to defeat the other effectively, and it simply worked out to the advantage of that other side.
3594165 Discord didn't remove wings because he didn't feel the need to. He did it to the Mane 6 so that his mind-game could go off without a hitch but there was no need to do it to the Princesses, they were too weak
3593423 Yeah, sorry 'bout that. That issue makes me very angry.
3594207 then why did he have to steal harmony's magic to bind them? why did he want to bind them anyway if they were no threat? you proclamation of his sueprioroty conflicts with his behavior. he is never clear but he had no reason to target the tree of harmony. despite what it represents, its power was used to bind the everfree and did not act directly against him. and unleashing the true everfree might not be what he wants. the everfree is not a force fo chaos itself, simply a magic indepdenent full of dangerous, hidden things. if anything it way of maintaining its own action would be oppossite to his desire to disrupt the world.
why would he risk unleashing something tht much greater than himself if the sistesr were far weaker? the only possible answer is, they were strong enough to be a real threat to him. he sought to remove them where he only sought to disable the mane six. he prefers to ruin his enemies. he chose to remove the pricnesses.
I knew Discord would be sung eventually. It not being the hidden song is somthing I was mildly suprised about.
3598257
The hidden one would spoil the ending. It involves Sweetie Belle.

Fate, destiny, mostly a thing from Greek Mythology. It's not real, but this is fantasy after all.

Vid's gone.
This, folks, is what I like to call "The Brick Wall." The Brick Wall is when everything seems to be going well, think of a fast car at full speed, in this instance Sweetie Belle executing Spike, and then The Brick Wall appears out of nowhere, this being Discord saving Spike and the undoing of the spell.
