Ch.2: Ponies of Harmony and Guardians of Power Vs. Chaotic Trio and Evil Trio

A short while later, Spike, Skyress, the Mane Six, and the Circle of Guardians have reached Canterlot only to be in shock at what they saw. The city looked like Ponyville when it fell under the influence of Discord. Houses were floating upside down. Cotton candy clouds were chasing screaming Ponies and raining chocolate milk on them. And buffalos dressed in tutus were dancing across the roads. Guardians from New Vestroia were struggling against the chaotic forces. Some of them drew weapons and engaged the dancing buffalo. Others tackled the clouds, attempting to rip them apart. The dancing buffalo kicked several of the fighting guardians aside.

"Looks like y'all weren't kiddin'," Applejack said to Twilight with sad eyes. "That darn varmint's back." Twilight can tell that Applejack's upset from when Discord made her tell lies by lying to her about the group splitting up. She can only hope as well that Discord won't cast his dark influence upon them again.

"Razenoid won't get away with this," Wolfurio growled to Drago, "because I will kill him." He then whirled his lance and shield around himself. Drago could tell that he was enraged at Razenoid for taking away his Haos Attribute and replacing it with its polar opposite, the Darkus Attribute.

"I hope the Princesses and the Ladies are alright," Spike said with a lump in his throat, a sign that he is scared for the two Alicorn rulers and the Twin God Rulers.

"Me, too," Skyress concurred, her voice quaking with fear

The group jumped with cries of fear when they heard an explosion. They then turned to see dark smoke billowing from behind the castle where the courtyard should be. The Ponies and their Guardians' hearts were filled with fear as they saw Princess Celestia and Discord fly out of the smoke and have an aerial battle. They also saw Lady Arceus and Lord Razenoid having a massive clash in the air, colliding with sonic booms and slashing with claws and swords.

"Princess Celestia!" Twilight screamed. She then fell silent as she heard her mentor's voice speak to her in her head.

"Lady Arceus!" Drago roared. He then fell silent as well as he heard his mentor's voice speak in his head.

Twilight! Thank goodness you've made it! Arceus and I need your help! Twilight is certain that this is from a telepathy spell that the princess had taught her before.

Drago! Thank the Gods you and your friends made it! Celestia and I need your help and the Ponies'! Drago was certain that this was from a telepathy spell that the lady had taught him before.

What has happened? she asked through the spell. How is it possible that Discord and Razenoid broke free again?

I am unsure, Celestia answered, but we will discuss it later. Right now, you need to head for Canterlot Tower where the Elements of Harmony are. Luna has gone there to retrieve them for you, but Discord has sent two new minions after her. Please help my sister.

We will, Princess.

The same with me, my student, Arceus said to Drago. My sister Lady Giratina has gone to help Princess Luna and retrieve the Attributes of Power. She is detained by two new minions that Razenoid has sent after her. Defend her, and defeat Razenoid!

Yes, my Lady. After Drago and Twilight broke free from the telepathic links, they saw that their friends were staring them in wonder.

"Twilight, what happened?" asked Pinkie Pie.

"Yeah," Helios added. "Your eyes just went completely blank and started glowing white all of a sudden."

"The princess and Lady Arceus were talking to Drago and me through a telepathy spell," Twilight answered. "They said that Princess Luna and Lady Giratina went to Canterlot Tower to get the Elements of Harmony and that Discord and Razenoid had sent four of their new minions after them. We have to go help them."

"But what about Princess Celestia and Lady Arceus?" asked Fluttershy.

"They wants us to help their sisters first," Drago answered. "We can't beat Discord and Razenoid without the Elements."

"I am with Twilight," Rarity concurred. "I simply cannot forgive that cursed demon for making me believe that boulder was a large diamond."

"Same here, milady," Taylean concurred with a scowl.

"C'mon, team!" Twilight cried. "Let's go! TO THE CASTLE!" She then galloped for the castle with Spike and her pack on her back and her friends and their guardians following her.

They had to overcome the chaotic obstacles thrown their way on their run to the palace. Rainbow Dash had to kick back the clouds chasing them. Helios extended his weapons and blasted aside the claw-covered clouds lunging at them. Drago and Taylean used their Pyrus and Ventus powers to sweep aside the dancing buffalo. Twilight and Rarity used their magic to get the dancing buffalo to move aside. And Applejack had to buck back the self-moving wagons chasing after them with a fang-filled mouth chomping at them like a flytrap. Wolfurio used his lance and shield to sweep and cut the wagons into pieces. Soon, they have reached the palace and headed down the hall to the chamber protecting the Elements of Harmony and the Attributes of Power.

Upon reaching the end of the hall, Spike, the Mane Six, and their guardians were met with a surprise. A very tired Princess Luna was standing in front of the doors to the tower, her horn glowing with powerful magic as she was trying to protect said entrance from two monster the Ponies believe to be Discord's two minions. Her equally exhausted guardian Lady Giratina was struggling with Razenoid's two new minions that prevented her from going to Luna's aid.

Both monsters facing Luna are snakes. One snake has an extremely long, green body with red spots going down his back in a single row. His eyes are golden yellow, and he has a pair of forest green eagle wings on his back for arms/flight. On his left wing was a purple DNA strand symbol.

His companion, a yellow snake, has a shorter body, probably five feet from nose to tail. He has pale yellow eyes and golden sunshine wings. What also makes him different from his green partner is that he has on a red cape held around his neck by an oval ruby clasp and a red cap with a white plume on his head. And on his right wing was a violet cannon symbol

The green snake's guardian is a genetic purple cat-like weapon of destruction known as Mewtwo, who has an eye symbol emitting colorful spirals on his left hand. And the yellow snake's guardian is a slick, purple mechanical insect Pokemon named Genesect, bearing a red fencing sword emblem on his right arm.

Both Pokemon were preventing Lady Giratina from going to her partner's aid. Giratina was fighting them furiously, blasting Shadow Balls at Mewtwo and Overheats at Genesect, but the two were more then a match for her, dodging her attacks with ease and blasting back with Psystrike and Ice Beam respectively.

"Face it, princesss," the green snake hissed at Luna with a sneering grin. "You and your guardian cannot hold usss back forever." Princess Luna smiled as she looked behind the two snakes.

"Perhaps not," she replied, "but I know a student of my sister and some friends of hers along with their guardians who has the strength to fighteth thee off!" Confused, the snakes turned to look behind them…only to have Rainbow Dash buck the green snake in the face and Twilight hit the yellow snake with a magical blast. Mewtwo and Genesect looked back as well...just to have Helios slam a powerful punch into Mewtwo's face and Drago slashing Genesect with a powerful slice of the Flare Blade. The two dark guardians slammed through a nearby wall, entering the courtyard. Their two snake partners then flew back from the force and crashed into one of the stain-glass windows to fall into the courtyard outside.

The Ponies and their guardians then rushed over to Princess Luna and Lady Giratina and as they collapsed to the floor. Fluttershy was the first to reach Luna, and Boulderon rushed to catch Giratina as she keeled over.

"Princess Luna," Fluttershy cried as she helped the midnight blue Alicorn up to her feet and held her up. "Are you alright?"

"Are you alright, Lady Giratina?" Boulderon asked the ghost-dragon as she returned to her Altered Form.

"Yes," Luna answered with a weak smile. "We're just exhausted from using too much of our powers to protecteth the Elements for thee." She then walked over to the doors slowly while leaning into the yellow Pegasus' side and used her horn to open the doors. Apparently, Celestia had taught the spell to her in case something like this disaster happens. The doors open to reveal the chest holding the Elements of Harmony. Giratina got up and used her dark powers to open the gates protecting the Attributes of Power.

"I only hope that Discord and Razenoid have not stolen them again," the Lady of the Dead said as she opened the box. She and her partner sighed with relief to find the five necklaces and crown still inside their one box and the five medallions and crown still inside the other box.

"Thank goodness," Giratina said before they used their magic to give the Elements to the six Ponies and the Attributes to their guardians. Fluttershy and Rarity then gently helped her lie down on the carpet as Boulderon and Taylean did the same for the exhausted Giratina. Twilight then turned to Spike.

"Spike," she said to him, "you and Skyress stay here with Princess Luna and Lady Giratina."

"Got it," he said before leaping off of her back and walking up to the Alicorn's side. Drago released Skyress, who fluttered and landed on Giratina's shoulder.

"But our sisters," Luna protested as she tried to get up again. "They are in trouble; we have to help them." Spike then pushed her back down gently as Twilight explained to her why she shouldn't.

"I'm sorry, Princess Luna, but you and Lady Giratina are too weak from your fight with Discord and Razenoid's henchmen to help us even more. You need to rest so that you regain your strength." The younger Alicorn was about to protest when Giratina curled around her, shielding her from further harm with her own body before turning to Drago.

"I'll remain here, Titanium Dragonoid, but please help my sister. I am not sure how much longer she can battle Razenoid. In the meantime, Luna, I heal and protect you alongside Spike and Skyress." Her body then started glowing with dark magic as she prepared for any further onslaughts and to heal her partner of any injuries. Luna hesitantly complied before turning to Twilight.

"Very well, Twilight Sparkle," she said, "but please helpeth my sister. I am not sure how much longer she can fight Discord."

"Don't you worry, Sugar Cube," Applejack said to her. "We'll stop that varmint Discord before you can say 'Whoa, Nelly'."

"Whatever that means," Wolfurio concurred with a shrug. The six Ponies and their guardians then ran out to the courtyard, leaving Luna curled up in Giratina's coils alone with Spike and Skyress.

Meanwhile in said courtyard, Discord had summoned a whole fleet of cotton candy clouds to hold Celestia back. He needed to delay her so that he can scold his henchmen, who have fallen into some rosebushes below the shattered window. Razenoid had summoned a fleet of Reapers to hold Lady Arceus back to delay her. He too wanted to scold his henchmen, who were punched and slashed with such force they flew through a thick brick wall before crashing a few feet away from their respective partners. Arceus blasted the clouds with Perfect energy, vaporizing them, then turned her wrath on the Reapers.

"Kaa! Hiss! What the hay's the matter with you two?" Discord yelled as the two snakes made their way out of the thorns stabbing into their coils and wings. "I gave you wings for a reason. Ugh, I can't believe you've let Luna show you up also!"

"Mewtwo! Genesect! What in evil's name is wrong with you?" Razenoid demanded as two made their way out of the new crater and brushed the dirt off of their armor and skin. "I gave you those dark powers for a reason. Ugh, I can't believe you let Giratina embarrass you like that!"

The yellow snake referred to as Hiss looked up at the Draconequus with a protesting expression as Genesect looked up at the Demon Bakugan with protest as well.

"It wasss not the Moon Princesss, Massster Dissscord," Hiss explained. "We had her exhausssted before a violet Unicorn hit me with a blassst from her horn!"

"And sssome blue Pegasssusss with a rainbow mane and tail had the nerve to kick me in the nossse," grumbled the green python named Kaa as he rubbed his sore nose.

"The same with us, Lord Razenoid!" Genesect complained, rubbing the spot on his back where the fire covered blade connected. "A Pyrus Dragonoid slashed me with a fiery blade!"

"And some Darkus Dragonoid smashed me in the face with a punch," Mewtwo growled, rubbing his sore nose. Discord and Razenoid blinked in reply before turning to each other.

"So," Discord said with an evil grin, "the little teacher's pet and her friends are now here too, huh?

"That should make our revenge twice as satisfying," Razenoid concurred with a dark chuckle.

"MASSSTER, BEHIND YOU!" Kaa cried. The chaotic trio quickly moved out of the way in time to avoid a colorful blast from Princess Celestia's horn and the evil trio flew out of the way of Arceus' Infinity Spear thrown at them. The Lady of Light then called back her lance, and it flew into her hoof.

"I will never let you harm Twilight or her friends again, Discord!" she cried, her horn glowing with the colors of the rainbow.

"And I will never let you harm Drago, his friends, or the ponies ever again, Razenoid!" she screamed, whirling the multicolored glowing lance around her head. With lightning speed that would make Rainbow Dash green with envy, the demon flew forward and tackled the Alicorn, pinning her to the ground on her back.

"Don't you worry, Celestia," he said to her lowly as she struggled under his strong grip. "I'll take care of you first so you won't witness your little Ponies' demise." As he was telling her this, Twilight, Drago, and their friends have just entered the courtyard to find the Draconequus on top of their princess and Arceus fighting Razenoid.

The Lady of Light aimed a Judgement at Razenoid. He ducked beneath it and tackled Arceus, knocking the Alpha Pokemon onto her back.

"And I'll make sure that you're done with sure before your little guardians' end arrive." Arceus struggled, landing powerful blows to his face and stomach, but he hardened himself and handled the punches.

"Release me you fiend! TIA!" The lady screamed. Ironing her muscles, Arceus grabbed Razenoid around the throat with a strong magical grip. Ripping him off her, she slammed him into the ground several times before spinning the Infinity Spear and spearing him through the stomach with the blade.

"ARRRGGH!" Razenoid screeched as his body slowly glowed black and crumpled into bits. Turning around, Arceus lunged forward her magical aura and gripped Discord all around his body before levitating him into the air. Flinging him into the ground, she bound his arms, legs, and throat with magical bonds before advancing upon the helpless Draconequus, the Infinity Spear glowing in her grip.

"You come near my Tia again, and I will make you beg for death! Is that clear Spirit of Disharmony?" Arceus demanded, her golden wheel glowing furiously around her waist. Discord simply chuckled before a pair of giant black claws grabbed her from behind. Spinning around, she saw Razenoid gripping her.

"What? I thought I vaporized you!" Razenoid cackled evilly.

"That was a clone, foolish Lady! Now, you shall face your demise!" With that, he opened his enormous fangs and lunged at Arceus's throat. She grabbed his head with her hooves and struggled to keep him from reaching her neck.

"Celestia!" She screamed. Celestia could not react as she was pinned down again by Discord. All she could do now was watch with shock and horror as the Evil Lord's fangs reached forward to rip out her guardian's throat.

"Get off of her!" Twilight yelled, galloping towards the two with both her horn and the Element of Magic glowing atop of her head.

"Same with you, Evil Lord! Get away from our Lady!" Drago roared as he followed suit, whirling the Flare Blade and Flame Shield within his claws.

"Do not even try it, little filly!" Hiss yelled, dashing towards her.

"Nor you, small Dragonoid!" Genesect roared, lunging towards Drago.

"Twilight, look out!" Rarity cried.

"Drago, beside you!" Taylean warned.

Seeing the yellow serpent charging towards her, the violet Unicorn quickly spun around with great force and struck Hiss with one saddle pack. And upon seeing the robotic Pokemon charging towards him, Drago leapt to the side and smashed Genesect in the face with the Flare Blade's hilt, before finishing with a shield smash, blasting the Paleozoic Pokemon into the side of the castle.

But as those attacks happened, Twilight's other saddle pack was catapulted in Discord and Celestia's direction, launching out something Twilight had completely forgotten about due to the crisis…her Golden Love Arrow! And out of the hilt of Drago's Flare Blade came his Golden Love Arrow, also forgotten until it was headed right towards Razenoid and Arceus!
