Return
The guard opened the door for the 5 mares to enter the room, he nodded and closed the door as they began to settle down. The room had four velvet lined chairs and a pair of two seated couches all centred round a table, there were an assortment of tea, water and coffee on the table with a tray lined with sandwiches. The rest of the room had shiny marble floors and a glass doorway leading to a balcony at the other end of the room. Purple drapes lined the glass door from baby blue wallpaper that covered the room with portraits of a forest and a sunset over countryside was set on the walls.
Fluttershy helped Applejack towards one of the couches and moved the cushions towards one end, allowing the cowpony to rest her head and lay down. The pony smiled and nodded towards the pegasus.
“Thanks Shy, ah really appreciate your help.” Fluttershy nodded and sat down, looking at some bruising on Applejack’s side. “Don’t worry ‘bout it sugar cube, ah’ll be fine.” She said, putting a hoof on her friend’s shoulder with a reassuring smile. As she spoke, the marshmallow fashion pony admired the paintings on the walls with Pinkie Pie muttering away about how the paintings needed more bright colours. Rainbow was circling around in the air with crossed hooves, she wouldn’t stop grumbling to herself until she quickly landed with a huff.
“What’s wrong Rainbow Dash?” Pinkie asked as she zipped in front of the pegasus with a concerned smile.
“It’s just that…” Rainbow looked over to Applejack and sighed “We are they elements of harmony, we are supposed to be able to defend Ponyville from any trouble but if it wasn’t for Sora…we wouldn’t of had a chance against that thing.” The pegasus pawed at the ground with her hoof. She had always felt that her and Applejack were two of Ponyville’s physically strongest ponies but this new monster was easily capable of swatting them aside. Pinkie smiled and stood on her tip hooves for a few seconds.
“I know! Sora was amazing wasn’t he? That thing was huuuuge and he just grabbed his big key then he was all like wooosh, zooooom, pow! When he threw his Keyblade and hit its horn, he sent that thing crying to its mama!” Pinkie exclaimed, waving her hooves around for emphasis when it came to the movements and her voice getting a little gruff at the end from the lack of breath she had for her sentence. Rainbow thought back to when she watched Sora’s athletic ability and smiled softly.
“Yeah…He was incredible.” Rarity caught her friends praise and turned her head before smirking.
“Oh Rainbow, did I just hear you give a pony a compliment without comparing him to yourself?” She asked teasingly. Rainbow darted her head up to face Rarity’s and blushed, turning away and beginning to stutter.
“W-Well he was great but of course he isn’t as great as me!” She argued. “I-I-I just uhh…didn’t want to take his moment of glory. Yeah, that’s it!” Rainbow wouldn’t dare show the teasing unicorn her flushed face but she unfortunately forgot about her happy pink friend.
“Hey Rainbow, why have you gone all red?” Pinkie asked. Rainbow hid her face in her hooves, ushering a giggle from the two ponies. She kept her head in place for a few moments, blocking out her friends giggles, until she had finally calmed down and her face returned to its usual cyan colouring.

Sora was getting odd looks from all around the room. The leaders of the world he had now delved into where staring at him intently after he had finished his explanation of the heartless. The chocolate colt could see their minds at work as they processed what he had told them.
“So…” Grit started. “These creatures are all born from the darkness in someone’s heart?” He asked. Sora
nodded in response and the changeling Queen cleared her throat.
“And these creatures are trying to find a ‘keyhole’ so that they can reach the ‘heart of the world’ but you can defeat them by using your ‘Keyblade’?” Sora nodded again, rather happy that they had understood him straight away. Well, all but one.
“And you expect us to believe you? A little colt who we have never heard of?” Lord Julian asked, scowling at the earth pony. The griffon king got a few annoyed glances from around the room but Sora just looked over to him and nodded.
“Well…yeah.” He replied simply. The griffon scoffed and glared at him.
“You’re only a little earth pony with a big key and ludicrous ideas, give me one reason why I should believe you.” He demanded, the others in the room rolled their eyes and then his captain of the guard approached Sora with a sour smile on her face.
“Yes little one, why don’t you give us a reason to believe you? Better yet, why don’t you tell us why we need your help? We can easily stop these monsters on our own, especially the one that was outside.” Gilda said and she pushed her face in front of his with a grin that showed she had considered herself victorious already in the argument. The other royals were all waiting for a chance to tell them to be quiet but Sora just rolled his eyes then raised an eyebrow at Gilda.
“Oh yes, you could easily beat them couldn’t you? I could definitely tell you were ready to burst into the action by the way you two were staying in the doorway with your quivering legs and wide open mouths.” He replied. Gilda immediately backed up a few steps away from him and kept her mouth shut, as did her sire. A small sigh of relief and a small titter could be heard from the diamond dogs and Chrysalis as Gilda returned to behind her lord with her head held high to try and give off the impression she shrugged off the statement. Her flushed face and the tail between her legs said otherwise.
Shining Armor smiled at Sora and nodded his head in thanks for shutting them up, Princess Cadence put her hoof to her mouth to hide a smirk on her lips. Princess Luna coughed and cleared her throat to break the silence.
“So, Mr Sora, you said that they are looking for a keyhole to get into the heart of our world, how do we stop them?” She quizzed him. He turned to her and smiled.
“All we got to do is find the keyhole and then I can use my Keyblade to lock it.” He replied.
“Very well, so where is this keyhole?” She asked. Sora hung his head and let out a large sigh.
“Unfortunately, I don’t know. The keyhole will only appear when the source of the heartless is defeated, it’ll remain hidden until then.” Shining Armor leaned forward slightly.
“Didn’t you say that the heartless come from the darkness in our hearts, how can we defeat that?” He quizzed. Sora looked up at him and shook his hoof.
“No not like that. The heartless just wander aimlessly around, when it’s at such a point then finding the keyhole is easy…But when I say a source, I mean some sort of leader. The fact that what we fought outside was a Stealth Sneak, the big lizard thing, it means that the heartless have found a leader in this world and he is fuelling them with dark energy.” Everypony in the room looked at one another then Princess Cadence looked at Sora worryingly.
“A leader? What could lead those things?” She asked.
“They don’t need much when they decide on a leader, they usually just go for a being that is strong and evil. The fact that the darkness seems to gather around here might mean that the leader was nearby, does that help in telling who it is?” Sora asked. The ponies all looked at each other with panicked looks on their faces, Twilight turned to Sora and gulped.
“He is the lord of disharmony and has the power to cause chaos. He is even a mix of many different species. Discord…His name is Discord.”
As if planned, a loud booming noise echoed throughout the room. It sounded like some sort of beat and everypony looked around for the source of the noise. As the cacophony became clearer, the beat eventually changed into a loud, booming laughter that seemed to sink into everypony’s bones.
“It’s about time you realised who was pulling the strings. I must say that you all figured it out slower than I hoped, I’m rather disappointed to be honest.” His voice echoed. Twilight looked up at the ceiling and growled.
“Where are you Discord?! Come out and show yourself!”
“Oh puh-lease, you think I’d appear right in front of you? You really have gotten worse since our last battle haven’t you dear Twilight? I’ve got better things to do right now, like searching for a certain keyhole that’ll allow me to rule the world!” He explained. Sora couldn’t help wonder why the villains always got so cocky that they would explain their plans to the ones trying to stop them, he shook his head then got back to the matter at hand.
“What do you mean ‘to rule the world’? You’d destroy it if the heartless got into the keyhole.” Discord only laughed in response.
“Well I’d love to talk more but I must be on my way to the keyhole now. I hope you have fun with the friend I left for you.” Everypony looked round the room then to each other. “I mean it, he’s waiting in town for you but he’s probably already trying to play with the other ponies down there.” He let out another laugh and the sound slowly dissipated into silence. Everypony immediately shot out of the room and looked out of the window at the city of Canterlot which, filled with ponies shopping and going about their daily business when the group arrived, was now filled with ponies screaming and running into every hiding place available as the Stealth Sneak rampaged through the streets.
The other five mares that had gone to rest then burst into the room.
“Ponies are in trouble down there!” Rainbow yelled as she came through. Sora nodded and ran towards the door.
“Where are you going?” Twilight asked him. He turned round with a determined smile on his face.
“They need our help so I’m going to go beat it.” He replied. He made his way out of the door and all the mares but Twilight followed, she turned to her brother instead.
“Please, we can take care of them so ask the guards to get all the ponies they can out of there safely.” She pleaded. Hey brother gave a confident smile and nodded, Twilight smiled back then followed her friends.

Ponies were running and screaming through the streets in the city of Canterlot as the monster rampaged. Shop windows were smashed, carts were torn in half and strewn across the road, some broken carts were used as hiding places for cowering ponies until they were escorted to safety by the guards. The creature roared in joy as it smashed all it could. Sora was followed by six mares as they all charged down towards the monster. As they got closer, Sora could tell that the Stealth Sneak looked a lot different than it had before. Its body of multiple shades of green had become a mix of shades of green and shades of orange. Its claws had grown and it now had very sharp teeth, it had wings that were too small to let it fly but still big enough and it had dark red fur leading down the back of its neck. The biggest difference was its tail, it had turned dark purple and had a scorpion sting on the end of it.
“Is that a different type of lizard heartless?” Applejack asked. Sora slowly shook his head.
“No…I don’t know how but that’s the one from earlier.” He replied.
“But the one from earlier didn’t have all those other features.” Fluttershy said. Sora pointed up at its face as it turned its head to the side and saw the fracture where it used to have a horn.
“Look, its horn is broken. It’s definitely the one from earlier.” Sora explained. The monster saw its old attackers and roared, the fangs in its mouth dripped with saliva as it kept its mouth open to threaten the ponies. “I have a feeling it wants to end the fight it started with us before.” Sora said. Suddenly the beast swung its giant claw down and smashed the ground, it would have hit Sora too if he and the others hadn’t jumped back quickly.
Sora felt that he had dodged it pretty well and this fight would go as easy as it had before but the creature jumped forward, doubling its speed with a strong flap of its wings and sent Sora flying by ramming into him. Sora rolled quickly across the floor and into a cart, he struggled to get back on his hooves but when he did, he saw the beast already in front of him and about to slam its claw down on top of him. Twilight quickly teleported Sora next to her and out of the monsters hit, she, Rainbow and Fluttershy had hidden in a small alley out of its sight. Applejack and Rarity were behind some carriage debris and Pinkie had hidden in an alley on the other side of the street. Sora sat down on the ground, the appearance of the Stealth Sneak and its new found strength has given a shock to his system. The realization that he could’ve been killed there and then had set into his mind, he had been ready to fight to the end at any time but the feeling that it nearly happened still shook him to his core.
“Hey Sora, wake up…SNAP OUT OF IT!” The voice cried. Sora came back to his senses and looked up Rainbow Dash who had concern written all over her face. “Are you ok?!” She asked him quickly. He nodded and got back onto his hooves.
“Sorry, I wasn’t expecting it to be that fast or strong. Wait, where is it?” Sora asked. He got a purple hoof on his mouth as Twilight replied.
“It’s in the street looking for us I think, it seems pretty upset that it didn’t get you.” She said in a hushed tone. Sora nodded then looked round the alley corner, the monster was searching for them in the shop window, under boxes and anywhere else it could think of.
“What did it become?” Sora thought out loud. He then got a small tap on the shoulder and turned to see Fluttershy standing in front of him.
“Um, I think a lot of its appearance is similar to a manticore.” She suggested. Sora tilted his head.
“A manticore?”
“Yes, a manticore. It’s a lion with bat wings and a scorpion tail. The adult ones are able to shoot venomous barbs from their tails.” Sora looked at Fluttershy confused then to the Stealth Sneak.
“So that Stealth Sneak was fused with a manticore and got stronger because of it?” Sora asked himself out loud again.
“Can that happen?” Twilight asked him, only to get a shrug in response.
“I’ve never seen it happen before, didn’t you say earlier he had chaos powers and is a mismatch of creatures?” Twilight shook her head.
“Close but they’re not chaos powers and yes he is. It represents the disharmony he causes.” She explained. Sora just tilted his head and shrugged.
“Ok then but he still has powers to cause disharmony right?” Twilight nodded. “Then they must have been powered up by the darkness, it would explain why he can make something like that.” Sora attempted to explain, all the mares grimaced at the thought of a stronger Discord.
“Then what do we do about this guy then?” Applejack called out. All the ponies were surprised when a cocky smile appeared on Sora’s face as he stepped out of the hiding place and the monstrous hybrid caught sight of him.
“We beat it of course” He announced simply. There were shocked faces all round as the monster began approaching Sora. Rainbow gulped down her nervousness and stepped out next to him, giving him a small nod. He nodded back then turned to his other side to see the orange cowpony and the bubbly pink pony standing by him. It wasn’t long until all seven on them had lined up ready to fight, Sora called his Keyblade to his mouth and charged forward to the beast with the six following behind.
“Spread out!” Sora yelled through the Keyblade’s handle. Twilight and Pinkie Pie ran into a bowling alley on the left of the street while Rarity and Applejack ran into a multi levelled cafe on the right. The creature shrieked and span round while dragging its tail along the floor, Rainbow and Fluttershy grabbed hold of Sora and lifted him into the sky to dodge the attack. Once they had gotten a good distance above the monster they dropped the colt, he flew downward and swung his weapon once he was close enough to it. The beast yelped as the Keyblade delivered a hard swing onto the top of its head, it growled and looked down at the colt about to swing at him before a bowling ball slapped him across the face. Twilight and Pinkie high hoofed each other before the unicorn loaded another bowling ball in Pinkie’s party cannon and fired the projectile for another shot at the creature’s maw.
It growled and turned to the two ponies on the bowling alley rooftop. Its eyes started to glow, brighter than they were before but the attack was interrupted when a table flew into the back of its head. The creature span round to face the new threat and could only watch for a second before the yellow pegasus threw Applejack towards it, slamming all four of her hooves into the monsters chest and jumping off. She landed on the shaft of the Keyblade and Sora threw her skywards, allowing her to deliver an uppercut into the lizards jaw and get caught by Rainbow Dash before she fell back down.
“Alright! We can do this” Sora muttered confidently to himself but the confidence didn’t last long. Fluttershy, who was cheering for the attack, was caught off guard as the monsters claw slammed into her and sent her rocketing into a grocery cart. Sora ran to her side, he saw red liquid ooze from her mane and drip onto the floor while she lay there unmoving.
“FLUTTERSHY!” The ponies cried. Twilight and Pinkie were too distracted to see the monster fire light blasts into the building, causing their footing to crumble and collapse beneath them. They began screaming, Twilight’s horn started glowing as they plummeted into the wreckage.
“NO!” Sora yelled back as he saw the collapse of the building. Rainbow foresaw what he was likely to do next and set the cowpony by Fluttershy and Sora before speeding off to grab Rarity, just getting to her in the nick of time before the monster ran his tail through the first floor of the café, causing that to collapse too. They quickly returned to the unconscious pegasus who began to stir back into life, Rarity ran to her side as Applejack looked at what was once a bowling alley.
“Ah’m gonna go get the girls out of there, you tend to shy!” She said, Rarity giving a small nod and looked over the butter pegasus as she woke up. Rainbow quickly ran to her side.
“Are you ok Fluttershy?!” She asked. Fluttershy smiled a little and nodded while Applejack was clearing the rubble to find a light purple bubble protecting the unicorn and earth pony from the wreckage.
“We’re ok” Twilight said as she and Pinkie got out from the wreckage, already knowing that Applejack would ask. Sora bit his lip as he saw the damage to his friends and their town while the monster had been laughing after the attack had been stopped.
“How dare you…” He muttered. The creature turned to him and looked like it was grinning. Sora took his teeth from his lip and gritted them as his band with the red gem started shining.
“How dare you…” He said again but louder. The band shone a bright red colour and radiated a power that everypony around could feel. It couldn’t help but catch the eye of all the ponies around. The monster backed away a step, concerned at the power it could feel pulsing from the colt. He shot his head up and looked the monster in the eye.
“HOW DARE YOU TRY AND KILL MY FRIENDS!” He bellowed. The light suddenly spread over his entire body, dust gathered round him and the pony shaped red light shone brightly around his back in particular but the dust obscured what was happening to everypony as it swirled around him. A loud yell was heard just before the dust and light burst outwards, causing everypony to shut their eyes tight and blinding the monster for a few seconds.
When they opened their eyes again and the dust cleared, their jaw dropped when they saw their friend break one of the biggest facts of their world. Sora now had a dark, rusty red coat of fur, in one forehoof he had the Keyblade they had seen before but he had another Keyblade in the other hoof, it had a silver handle and wings for hoof guards. The handle spilt into two shafts that were parallel to each other before meeting at the tip and a start shape poking out at the tip. What shocked them the most was that on Sora’s back now were two wings with the same colour as his coat. Sora looked up at the monster and frowned, getting into a fighting stance and spreading out his wings.

Valor form, stuff just got real.
I called it, about half way through the fight I said "He's going to go Valor"
OH DEAR AMATERASU RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!
shit just got real.
1562471don't you mean Dear Celestia.
Valor Form...Oh fuck. This won't end well. For the stealth sneak that is. If your showing us his valor form, then does that mean that at some point in time he'll use his wisdom and final form? And possibly shadow form?
1563413 Well there basically the same pony!
1567270 ones a wolf and the other is a pony.
1567306 I know but think as a insane person would they both control the sun!
1564459Hush hush
1568046 My lips are sealed.dl.dropbox.com/u/31471793/FiMFiction/emoticons/misc_Lyra_dealwithit.png
1564459Shadow form is called anti-form as in anti Sora
1578208 At this point what the forms called doesn't matter NEARLY as much as what the form itself does. Plus, shadow form is easier to remember, and is an apt description of what the form looks like.
Let me see if I got this right. valor a pegusus due to it's speed and power
wisdom a unicorn because of magic. master a lesser alicorn being of his strength and magic progresses quickly. And final an Alicorn similar to celestia, became he become a being of pure light. Also anti and earth pony with crazy and malevolent darkness within him.
Oh snap.
Valour drive form comance
Am I the only one questioning that sarcastic snap Sora made? Seems a little OoC... Unless... was that Roxas talking?
1616764 Forgetting one good sir? What about Limit Form?
