Hi! Hyena King here! This is where the story of the Elements of the Guardians is finally revealed. So, without further ado, here's chapter 7!

Princess Celestia led Thunder and Lightning down a hallway, this one much the same as the first. The difference this time was, instead of windows telling the story of the Mane six and Discord, this one told a completely different one. Celestia turned to the pegasi.

"It is time you knew the truth about yourselves. I did not ask you to watch over the others out of coincidence. You have a destiny that you yourselves will have to fulfill. Before you can o this, however, I must tell you a story."

She turned to the windows, found the one she wanted to start with, then began the tale.

"A thousand years ago, when Discord was in power, one kingdom managed to avoid the ravages of Discord's powers. This Kingdom was ruled by a young prince, who saw this apparent overlooking on Discord's part with the fact that he was meant to rule the greatest kingdom in all of Equestria. The following events didn't help matters."

Celestia turned from a window depicting a beautiful kingdom to one with a starry night sky.

"One night, a star fell from the sky. This star shattered into six pieces, which landed right next to the prince's royal castle. He found them when he was taking a stroll and immediately had hem brought to the castle. Once there, he had the shards cut into the forms of lovely gems."

The window that Celestia was before showed the shards of the star being shaped into their current forms, which happened to be...

"These were the Elements of Harmony. The prince had them mounted up above his throne, for all to see. He took these Elements as a sign that he had the divine right to rule. This became even worse when he realized that the elements had strong magical power."

The next window showed an Alicorn prince absorbing the power from the Elements of Harmony.

"Instead of sharing this new-found power with his subjects, he horded it all for his own ends. He mounted a fortune with the Element of Generosity. With the Element of Honesty, he told all the lies he wanted, and nopony would question his word. With the Element of Kindness, He could get away with spells that caused all sorts of cruelty. With the Element of Loyalty, his subjects were slaves to his every command. With the Element of Laughter, he made life miserable for all around him. And, with the Element of Magic, his own magic was ten times stronger than any other in history."

With each description, Celestia turned to a different window that illustrated each elements effect. The last one was showing the prince clouded in shadow.

"The prince developed a greed for the Elements stronger than any dragon. He used his amassed power to turn his kingdom to how it fit him. And for years, he ruled with unimaginable cruelty."

Celestia turned to an Illustration that showed a younger Celestia and Luna.

"Luna and I heard about the Elements from a traveler, and went to the kingdom, hoping to use the Elements to stop Discord once and for all. Three times, we asked for the Elements. And Three times, we were denied. As we tried to bargain for h Elements, we saw how the ponies were living just as badly as he rest of Equestria. In fact, the way the prince treated his own subjects was even worse then Discord ever did to anypony."

Celestia turned to a window depicting the sisters using a teleportation spell on the Elements of Harmony.

"So, in the dead of night, we teleported ourselves and the Elements back to Canterlot, and used the Elements to defeat Discord. But that doesn't concern you. It's what happened after Discord you need to pay attention to."

She turned to a window showing Canterlot and the price from earlier.

"The Prince came to Canterlot, demanding the Elements back, else he would take them by force. Luna and I didn't have the power to fight him off, the majority was used to defeat Discord. So, we did the only thing we Could do."

Celestia turned to another window showing two gems, a black and white one, being made with magic.

"We used our remaining power to create two other Elements. Then we entrusted their power to the only one worthy to wield them. Storm Cloud, then our captain of the guard."

At another window, a grey Pegasus with a jet-black mane sent a blast of energy at the prince.

"So long as he wielded the Elements, the prince could not touch the Elements of Harmony. When he was defeated by this, Luna and I regained our strength and banished the prince to Tartarus."

She turned to a window that showed the prince being sent to a mountain.

"From then on, The Elements of the Guardians, as they were called, have been used to protect the Elements of Harmony. The two are inexplicably linked. One cannot exist without another."

Celestia was at the last window, which showed the Elements of the Guardians sitting above the Elements of Harmony. Thunder, who, like his brother, was silent for this whole duration, asked. "What's this have to do with us?"

"Yeah, why us?" Lightning asked, himself confused.

Celestia turned to the Pegasi then. "Because you are the Elements of the Guardians new wielders." She continued despite the boy's shocked faces. "I fear that the Elements of Harmony may not be enough to defeat Discord this time. So I ask this. Will you wield the Elements of the Guardians, for the sake of your friends and Equestria?"

Thunder and Lightning turned to each other then. After a few moments, they nodded and turned back to Celestia.

"You can count on us." They both said.

Celestia nodded, and then took a box from out from behind her. She opened it with her magic, revealing two stone orbs. She took the orbs and passed them to the brothers. One for Thunder, one for Lightning.

"This is so awesome!" Lightning said, eying his orb with the look of a colt at Hearth's Warming eve.

"How do we use these?" Thunder asked, looking at his own Element with excitement.

"First, you must do what the ponies did with the Elements of Harmony. Find what they represent, for yourselves and for them. Then, and only then, can you know how to wield them. Now go. The mares need you."

Thunder and Lightning nodded, then turned and ran for the exit, Celestia looking after them.

There you go. Now where going to get to the exciting part. R&R please!
