I apologize for not posting but end of the year and stuff came up But here is the new chapter you all have been waiting for.

Nightmare Moon's laughter echoes through Twilight's head as her heart pounds in fear. There before her was a friend who had fallen back into evil as hated and pain consumed her.

"Luna! Why are you doing this?! I thought you had changed." She cried out "What will Ash or Celestia think if see saw you like this."

On cue Celestia appeared next to Twilight gazing up at her fallen sister. Twilight looked up to see her teacher's eye full of pain, fear and… regret. 'Why does she look like she regrets something?' she thought

Princess Celestia finally spoke snapping Twilight out of her train of thought. "Luna, please it doesn't have to be this way! We can sti…" but Nightmare Moon cut her off.

"Luna? I am... Nightmare Moon! Now Everypony will live the night and then I will be loved by all!"

"But Luna you were already…"

"Nopony ever loved me! They will praise the day as it is long but come my beautiful night and all they do is sleep!" cried Nightmare "But no longer, for your reign as come to its end."

Nightmare unfolded her wings and streak toward Celestia. The sun princess took off and the two began their brawl. Twilight could only watch as the sister battled over head as magic screamed across the sky. Suddenly both of their magic collided creating a massive sphere of energy each one not letting up. But Celestia couldn't bring herself to harm her sister, so she let the power overtake her. {BOOM} Her scream tore at Twilight's heart as she watched her teacher and friend fall.

"Celestia!" she cried and ran towards her. Celestia crashed into a wall where a planetarium stood. Her crown rolled away slowly as Twilight rounded the bend.

Twilight knelt next to Celestia "No... Why would Luna do this? Why now? [Crying]" But Celestia looked up to see her sister streaking towards them and waited for the final blow. [Rumbling] Twilight turned and gasped, the stone spheres started to glow and six gems emerged.

Twilight gaped at the scene "Are those the Elements of Harmony? But that's how they looked in... the past. This is the night you banished her."

Celestia with her head away from her attacker and slowly raised her hoof. {BOOM} the element came together and launched the magic of friendship at Nightmare Moon.

"Nooooooo!" she cried as she was carried away to the moon. Twilight glanced back at her teacher and fell over in shock. Celestia was also in shock at what had happened. But slowly the truth settled on her heart.

"Luna, you are more loved than you know. May troubles be far from your mind." She sang very softly as tears ran down her eyes. She hugged her body as she began to shake and her magic seemed to be growing in Twilight's mind 'unstable.' "And forgive me for being so blind." Her song ended and she let it all out.

"LUNNAAA!" Celestia screamed out her heart as her magic broke loose consuming her, Twilight and the castle in white. The castle of the two sisters was destroyed.

Twilight opened her eyes to see her friends with very concerned looks and Ash looked ready to take some pony's head off. "Why are you all looking at me like that?'

Applejack spoke first "It's just... you were mumblin' to yourself..."

"Ooh! And don't forget the uncontrollable sobbing!" added Pinkie Pie

"We were really worried about you especially Ash" said Fluttershy Ash hugged Twilight asking if she was alright.

Discord on the other hoof was pouncing off the walls "I for one found it delightful. Sort of a one-pony theater piece, if you will. You should really consider taking it on the road." Holding a poster of Twilight crying.

Rainbow Dash rolled her eye "Did you find out whose rump we need to kick and where we can find them?"

Twilight sighed "I saw something from a long time ago. But it didn't explain what's happening now."

Zecora perked up "Perhaps farther back still are the answers you seek. Another sip of the potion will give you a peek."

Ash put a hoof on Twilight's shoulder "You sure about this?"

Twilight nodded and took another sip. Now she was in a world so messed up that her first thought was 'Discord'.

Discord in fact sat on a throne eating, while Celestia and Luna glared up at the wild ruler.

"Oh, this is so much fun. How about a game of 'Pin the Tail on the Pony'?"

Princess Celestia looked backed and found her tail missing "Play time is over for you, Discord."

Discord laughed half-heartedly "Oh, I doubt that. [munching] Hungry? Suit yourselves. Oh! What have you got there?"

"The Elements of Harmony." She said coldly

Luna nodded "With them, we shall defeat you." With a knowing smile

Twilight watched as the two princesses readied the elements "This must be when they turned Discord into stone."

Now Discord was laughing up a storm "You should see yourselves right now. The expressions on your face. So intense. So sure of yourselves. [Laughing] Hilarious!"

Luna and Celestia smiled and shot the power of the elements and turned Discord to stone. The scene changed and Twilight saw the Princesses standing before a large tree. It looked like a silver statue rather than a tree. The tree had six gem like patters from the center stretching out.

Princess Luna gasped as Celestia started to take the gems out "The Tree of Harmony."

This sparked Twilight curiosity "The Tree of Harmony?" She looked back at the tree and noticed something.

"My cutie mark." At the center of the tree's trunk was a patter shaped just like her cutie mark but she saw a sword tucked behind it like a shield.

"That looks like Ash's cutie mark" she said out load.

"Are you sure?" Luna's voice snapped Twilight out of her thought and turned back to the princess.

Princess Celestia nodded "We have managed to discover the only means by which we can defeat Discord and free the citizens of Equestria. Even without these elements, the Tree of Harmony will possess a powerful magic. As long as that magic remains, it will continue to control and contain all that grows here."

As they turned to leave Twilight looked back at the Tree of Harmony and gazed at her/Ash' cutie mark. Twilight returned back to the present and to her friends.

"So what did you find out?" asked Spike curiously

"I still don't know what's happened to Princess Luna and Princess Celestia, but I think I know why the Everfree Forest is acting this way. Something's happened to the Tree of Harmony." Explained Twilight.

"The tree of what now?" questioned Rainbow Dash

Twilight nodded "It's where Princess Celestia and Princess Luna found the Elements. I think it's in danger."

Applejack jumped for joy for knowing at least something rather than nothing "Well, all right then! Let's go save a... tree. Uh... where is it exactly?"

Twilight gulped and turned towards the Everfree forest "I think it's in... there."

"Ooh-hoo! I'm going to need more popcorn!" smiled Discord sitting on a vine.
