What I Had To Do

Spoilers for To Where And Back Again

Discord is encased in stone for destroying the Changeling Queen. It had been a week since that had happened, and Twilight is now conflicted as to whether or not he deserved to be punished for effectively saving their lives and preventing Chrysalis from hurting them ever again.

Based off a possible idea of how the finale could go and the logical conclusion of "HEROES DON'T KILL WEEEEEEEH!". I'll be surprised if Discord ends up killing Chrysalis.

“But… all his friends will be dead by that point!” Twilight said.
“Well, maybe he should have thought about that before he killed Chrysalis.” Celestia took her wing off Twilight and walked away.

Welp, looks like Ghost!Fluttershy's going to come back and kick Celestia's @$$ next century.

Her own friends turned against her after they refused to listen to any proof that Cadance was Chrysalis, with Celestia being none the wiser that her own niece was really a psychotic queen and even siding with her.

Serious correction here: Twilight didn't have any proof that Cadance was Chrysalis. In fact, no one, not even Twilight knew at that point that Cadance was replaced or an imposter. Twilight merely thought she was evil which is incredibly vague.

They did make sure to destroy the bloody pool/pond that birth the changeling queen.(Based on comic, if it isn't involve the comics then okay.)

Like the story, but Celestia felt very OOC and purposely made to look bad for the sake of the story or, I hope not, bashing.

Would have loved it if Celestia had more clear points towards her decision and had better arguments, rather than acting like batman from BvS.

I loved this story. Celestia gets way too much credit, and Discord doesn't get nearly enough. It was nice to see the "hero" title reversed, and in such a good way too.

“Discord is a hero. He shouldn’t be treated like some criminal just because he stopped someone from becoming a threat later in the future by means of killing them. I’m going to go with my student and together we’ll unseal Discord. You make any attempt to hinder us, like hiding the statue or destroying it, and the next bolt will be at your head.” Twilight’s horn then glowed as Celestia’s golden throne, also bathed in her magenta light, began to mend itself back into what it was before.

DAMN.

Because There's nothing cooler than saying a single word and having ANYTHING vaporize to nothingness.

“He’s known to relapse, Fluttershy.” Twilight said… Just then, a hoof smacked Twilight on the side of the head.

I would have sent whoever that was to god.

“But you saw what happened! Discord could be a very dangerous threat if he ever became evil again!” Twilight said.

She’s not wrong.

“Th-thank you… And… Um… sorry…” She said. Twilight smiled. She liked the meek Fluttershy better than the assertive Fluttershy. Twilight then bowed and flew on her way out of the cottage… There, she remembered what she did to Celestia.

I would not accept that apology.

She does realize celestia can take her down, right?

This story reminds me of how bullies get away scot free from being spotted for bullying and the victims get punished for at least knocking those bullies out for the count. That kind of system in a school is screwed up.
