Chapter number 1: We're back
One day, in Equestria,...or rather, near the end of the MLP ANG movie events,...
Izzy and Sunny were all set to put the gems back together to restore the pegasus flight, unicorn magic, and Earth pony strength.
They placed the pegasus crystal on the table’s outline. It shined bright blue like the sky.
“That’s one;” called Sunny. Bang! Sprout hit the lighthouse with his contraption,...
Izzy quickly put in the unicorn crystal. It began twinkling like the stars, and just like the tips of unicorn horns.
“Yay!” Cheered Izzy, before being inturnpet by another BANG of Sprout hitting the lighthouse.
Before the light house was hit again, they placed in the Earth Pony gem, that begins lighting up from the magic of the other crystals. A bright light and then,...
NOTHING.
Time had frozen. Instead of friendship magic making a new alicorn toy for Hasbro Productions, time simply froze. But Sunny felt it as it happened. A familiar essence enveloping her, like a hug almost. It made her feel happy. It made her feel safe. It made her feel the confidence to believe in the power to make a positive change to the world.
It felt like,..her dad was standing beside her. It took her a second to realise that he actually was in fact standing right beside her.
“Dad?” Sunny asked. Argyle nodded as he smiled the warm smile Sunny thought she wouldn't see again.
“Yes, I’m here. You’ve grown into a fine young mare, my precious Sunny Bunny. I’m proud of you for remembering what I have taught you, but also having the courage to develop your own beliefs. This will take you far.” Argyle said.
“Oh,...” Sunny looked closely to realise that her dad looked different; more abstract and like a ghost or spirit of some sort. The time unfroze.
The lighthouse was in bad condition, but not collapsed. Hitch and Zipp had shut down Sprout’s machine, and Pipp had gotten out of the house already.
Then Sunny asked Argyle, “Dad, why do you look like that?”
“I am a visual representation of something that is not living or alive, physically trapped in suspended animation.” Argyle responded.
“Suspended animation?” Asked Sunny.
“Yes. I have been trapped-” Argyle was about to say more, but he was interrupted. Sunny looked at the sky, which was turning dark and stormy,... but the clouds were pink and fluffy! Sunny felt like she had heard of that happening once, but she couldn't remember. It is kind of hard to think clearly when all of this is happening.
Suddenly, the sky began raining chocolate milk. Izzy began drinking some, but the others looked on as a bright flash of light threw out a creature unlike anything they had seen before.
“Discord!” Argyle cried out in surprise.
“You know him?” Sunny asked softly. Argyle only nodded before turning back to the draconequus.
“Leave Sunny, her friends and the rest of the ponies out of this!” Argyle demanded sternly. Discord laughed before saying no.
“I originally did not want to involve them, but when they started bringing back the harmony and magic I, Discord, couldn't just ignore that.” Discord explained. Sprout was terrified and ran off, never too be seen again in this story. (sorry, just trying to balance out the character count~)
“That’s Discord? Why is he here?” Sunny asked her dad.
“Oh Sunny, Sunny, Sunny, you know so much about Equestria’s history and yet still have so many questions.” Discord said as he flew around Sunny.
“What’s wrong with that?” Izzy asked defensively, stepping near Sunny.
Discord merely smirked at Izzy. She kind of reminded him of Pinkie Pie,... “Izzy is the magicaless unicorn. Then Pipp and Zipp, the two pegasus sisters who want their flight back.”
“So you know who we are. Big deal.” Hitch said flatly. "What do you want?”
“Quite the sheriff character we got going on here. Heh. Well, I will tell you all this much: I need the three Crystals of Magic more than you.” Discord revealed the crystals were now in his claw and paw. The crystals being reunited had activated the harmony and brought back Argyle temporarily, but the ponies needed to use them for the spell to release the harmony power.
Discord doesn't care. He wants them all back. The main six had died a long time ago and he missed them. Twilight disappeared with the magic and he missed her too. He used the gems to bring back the mane six. It ripped the cosmos apart into coliding alternate universes when head canons became canon and vice versa.
(Note: the crystal chest, tree of harmony and the maine six are the only significant things that are restored. Also note that the main six are young again because I say so.)
Pinkie Pie rubbed her eyes. “What happened?”
“I don't know, but are we all here? -Girls?” Fluttershy called.
“Rainbow Dash is present!” Rainbow said with the groan of someone who was woken from a nice nap. “Is AJ here?”
“Yup!” Apple Jack called.
“Wait, where is Twilight?” Rarity asked before turning around to see her purple alicorn friend.
“You,..you’re all back!” Twilight cried as she hugged her friends. They all held each other for as long as they could before realising everything had gone haywire…
“Yes~and I will take my leave instead of telling you all my plan because I’m a smarter villain than THAT.” Discord slithered away.
All the ponies started talking at once with questions and randomness that didn't make sense.
“EVERYPONY STOP!!!” Sunny yelled. She demanded an explanation from her dad.
Argyle took a deep breath before he said, “The reason I have been trapped is because I have been trying to find the crystals for a long time. I had found the Earth Pony Crystal, but I lost the Unicorn Crystal. I ran into a unicorn named Alphabittle (I think) and he took the gem from me, because he thought I was trying to destroy it or something along those lines. On my way out of there, I ran into Discord. He wanted the gems to do resurrection but the gems can only be used for the magic once. When I tried to stop him, he captured me.”
“Wow, that’s a lot to take in when you say it all at once.” Whispered Izzy.
“Sunny, we have to stop discord and get the gems back.” Argyle said.
