Twilight Sparkle was pacing around in the ruins of her castle. Darkness was overcoming her even more since her friends were banished. The walls made of rock became sharper and stuck out from the walls. Instead of it's usual color of indigo, the walls were turning red. Spike didn't know what to do, being her faithful assistant and all, he didn't know what to do. He hadn't spoke another word since she started acting strangely, but he wanted to change that.
"Twilight...I think you should stop!" he spoke. Twilight turned around to the little dragon.
"Stop? Why?" She asked.
"You're really scaring me. This isn't like you"
"Oh poor, poor Spike" Twilight patronized "I'm so sorry for you"
She got annoyed again and stared out the window. Slowly her cutiemark was changing. It wasn't fading like her friends, it was turning black. And her eyes were becoming corrupted. The whites of her eyes were now a light green and her purple eyes were red. Similar to how they were when she was in the crystal kingdom and seeing a bad end for herself. She didn't notice what was happening to her, she was just being engulfed by darkness.
"I've looked outside and all of Ponyville is going bezerk! Do you think that you destroying the thrones had caused that to happen?" Spike asked.
Twilight made her way to the window where the citizens were still fighting. She had little emotion on the situation.
"Well? Are you going to do something? You are the Princess of Friendship! Why don't you go out and stop it!" Spike suggested. But it wasn't likely that Twilight would listen to that suggestion in the state she was in. Her eye began to twitch.
"Me? Put a stop to this? No. This is perfect!" Twilight smiled.
"How could it possibly be perfect?! Ponies are getting seriously hurt out there! Even the fillies and colts! Don't you want to stop them?"
"Not until they apologize"
"They?"
"My 'So called' friends, Spike. They hurt me, so did Discord. Until they apologize for their actions, this continues"
Suddenly, a letter came out of Spike's fire. He hadn't received one of those in a while.
"It's from Princess Celestia" he said.
"Ugh. What does it say?" she asked, unenthusiastically.
"Dear Twilight, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash. If you hadn't known already, there is a disturbance in the elements of harmony. All of the ponies in Equestria are going crazy and hurting each other. We want you and the others to come right away to try and fix this issue.
Yours Sincerely
Princess Celestia" Spike read. "See? because you destroyed the elements of harmony, this is happening in all of Equestria!"
Twilight began to chuckle in delight.
"What's so funny? This is serious!" Spike yelled. Twilight began to change yet again. The highlights in her mane and tail turned black and white and the main color became gray. Things were starting to get worse. She turned around to him and revealed herself. "Twilight, what's happening to you?"
"Everything Spike! I've never felt so alive before! It's like a new sensation is burning through me!" Just like that, the letter that Spike read turned to ashes. "We won't be needing that letter. I already know what's going on...and I Like it!"
Twilight continued her maniacal laughter and it became more and more unsettling for Spike. He decided to make a run for it, but was stopped by the corrupted alicorn.
"Where do you think you're going? the party has just begun" She replied. "You are going to help me get my friends to finally apologize by staying here!"
Spike thought there was nothing he could do now. He had no choice but to go with the flow.
Meanwhile, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Princess Cadence, Shining Armor, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and unconscious Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack had entered Discord's realm. Luckily for them, Princess Celestia knew where he lived. He showed her around the house after he had reformed.
"It's really hard to fly in this realm!" Rainbow Dash complained, carrying Applejack on her back. "Are we almost there?"
"Yes, we are" Princess Celestia replied, carrying Fluttershy on her back. "It shouldn't be too far now"
"It's even harder for the ponies who can't fly!" Rarity objected. She was speaking for both her and Shining Armor. Now that Pinkie Pie and Applejack were unconscious, they were the only ponies who couldn't fly. They struggled with the lack of gravity in the area but tried to stay with the group.
"Hopefully the Lord of Chaos should come to his senses" Princess Luna mentioned. She had volunteered to carry Pinkie Pie on her back because of the weight that Cadence already had with her unborn foal.
"With Fluttershy unconscious, I think he will" Rainbow Dash replied. Princess Luna was confused. She wasn't as familiar with his relationship with Fluttershy.
They arrived at the entrance of his house. It seemed rather small and ordinary in a realm such as this. It was a little wooden house with a yellow roof sitting on top of a floating hill. On that hill, there was also a white picket fence and a pathway to an unsafe wooden bridge. Princess Celestia knocked on his door.
"Just a minute!" he called out. He opened the door, he was in his cleaning gear. "What can I do for you Celestia?"
"Discord, we have a problem"
"Oh, what is it this time?"
"I think you know what it is"
Discord put is paw to his face. He did know what was going on. He caused it.
"Alright, come in...all of you" He was surprised on how many ponies had entered his house. After they settled in, Discord still wanted to know what was going on.
"So, why are you all here?" he asked, awaiting a response.
"The elements of harmony have been...destroyed" Princess Celestia replied. Discord's eyes widened with shock.
"What? How? When? Why?" He asked.
"Twilight Sparkle destroyed the elements after you left"
"Twilight Sparkle?" Discord burst out laughing. "That is ridiculous! She wouldn't do a thing like that!"
"I'm telling the truth, Discord. She was jealous of her friends laughing at your jokes; so she banished them from her castle and destroyed the elements of harmony. Because of what she did, All of the ponies in Equestria besides us are at each other's throats and three of the elements of harmony have fallen gravely ill"
"Pft. Ill shmill! they'll get better, I'm sure!" Discord scoffed, sounding very disinterested.
"One of them is Fluttershy" Rainbow Dash added.
Discord was now shocked as he saw the unconscious pegasus on top of Princess Celestia's back. He carried her gently onto his couch.
"How could she let this happen to my dear Fluttershy?" he asked. "There must be a way to cure her!"
"What about Applejack and Pinkie Pie?" Rarity asked.
"Yeah, yeah. We have to cure them too, but what about Fluttershy!?" He noticed the severe internal bleeding in her neck. "She's even bleeding for Celestia's sake!"
"We think that Twilight Sparkle might be heading down the path I once went down" Princess Luna added. "We have less than 24 hours until all of the bearers get this sick"
"So why did you come to me? Remember I wanted the elements all to myself. But even I couldn't imagine them destroyed"
"We think you can bring Twilight back to her senses and recover the elements of harmony" Princess Celestia replied. "All you have to do is remember why she was jealous. That might be the key to bringing her back to normal"
Discord looked up at Princess Celestia, then down at Fluttershy. He sighed and stood up.
"I'll do it. I'll save the elements of harmony, for Fluttershy's sake!"
"Of course!" Rainbow mumbled sarcastically.
"Now's not the time to be sarcastic, Rainbow. I'm getting rather dizzy!" Rarity replied.
She imagined herself face to face with Steven Magnet. She was about to give him her tail, when Twilight took it instead.
"It's mine now!" she cackled as she ran off.
"I want my mustache!" Steven cried as he grabbed Rarity and started to drown her in the lake.
Reality came back to her as she was struggling for air.
"Rarity!" Rainbow reacted as she caught Rarity. Her cutie mark was fading away as she too fell unconscious. "I'm the only one left!"
"We have to move quickly to Twilight as soon as possible" Princess Cadence spoke.
"I dibs carrying Fluttershy" Discord interrupted as he carried the bleeding pegasus in his arms and out of his door. Princess Celestia rolled her eyes and proceeded in carrying Rarity. Now four of the elements of harmony were gravely sick. It would only be a matter of time until the same thing happened to Rainbow Dash. She was the last to discover her element when she helped her friends over the bridge. She was even scared of how long it would take...
