The Revelation / Battle of Ages

As the group traveled through the area, the main six start to notice that the area started to look very familiar. Sort of like some place in their memory.

"Is it just me or is this starting to become familiar?" Applejack asked.

"No," Rarity replied. "This is looking familiar."

"I can't think what this reminds me of."

"Basil, do you know what this place is?"

"That is very simple." Basil replied. "We're near Cantor…"

"Canterlot?" Rarity interrupted.

"Uh, yes." The girls cheered especially Twilight Sparkle.

"I knew we weren't away at a different world." Twilight stated. "The castle is over that hill." She started to run toward the hill.

"Wait, Twilight. Don't go that way."

"But the castle is over there."

"Twilight don't. You won't like what you see."

"Relax; there is nothing to worry about…" Then, she gasped at what she saw. "No, this can't be." The ponies caught up to her. Everyone except Basil was surprised as well. They saw Canterlot, the most graceful city the main six knew, was now nothing more than ruins of a lost civilization. "How could this have happened?" Twilight Sparkle was extremely hurt.

"What happened to Canterlot?" Rarity asked.

"Equestria fell hundreds of years ago." Basil replied. "Starting with Celestia's death…"

"Wait, she's gone too?" Twilight Sparkle asked. "This is starting to feel like a nightmare coming true."

"After the fall of Equestria, a series of different nations was formed from what was left and started the Equestine Confederacy."

"Is this what was to come? The destruction of everything!" she turned to Basil and began to shake him. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US! WHY DID YOU HIDE THIS FROM US!" Twilight fell down and broke into tears. He sighed.

"I was going to tell you." he paused. "However, you were not ready at the time." A very old open scroll was blowing in the wind and Rarity caught it. She looked at it. It had a picture of them, the six, together.

Note: As seen in the MLP: FIM intro.

They entered the ruins trying to comprehend why such a good kingdom fell. Fluttershy entered an overgrown area. She remembered the garden there, and she remembered that she lost her mind and went psycho there. That was not one of her good memories. Applejack ended up in the tavern where they had the laughs with Princess Celestia when she was still alive. Twilight Sparkle ended up at the hedge labyrinth. It was overgrown with vines and other plants. Basil came to her.

"I didn't know you had such a strong connection to the Princess." Basil stated.

"It's okay. I'm sad though." Twilight Sparkle stated. "I was one of the princess's most faithful students."

"I see. By the way, how did you come here anyway?"

"Well, I and my friends fell into a chasm."

"The chasm. I get it, now."

"Get what?"

"You are from a past time at least 450 years ago."

"What happened at that time?"

"The Battle of Ages."

"I have never heard of that."

"Then, I guess you weren't around then."

"What are you talking about?" Rarity asked.

"Gather your friends and I shall tell you the Battle of Ages." Eventually, the friends were gathered and then Basil began to tell them the Battle of Ages as he remembered it being told to him.

"Sing, angels. Of a time of Judgement. A clash of the good one and sinister one. Their final clash." Then, it became a flashback to the time that was stated by Basil. The statue of Discord was standing behind two ponies. The ponies were in the heat of argument. Then, the statue began to crack and Discord broke free. The two ponies looked at him in fear.

"Hello there, ponies." Discord stated. "I'm back for vengeance." He created two shards of stone and slain the two with them. Then, reformed the statue to conceal the fact he escaped and fled. "Now, for my revenge. If I cannot rule Equestria, then no one will."

"The sinister one flew across the land; destruction he caused without remorse.

But the most vile of the deeds, at Ponyville, slaughter every horse.

The good one tried her hardest for six days find the ones to stop him.

But the souls were weak, their spirits could find from the brim."

On the sixth night, Princess Celestia stood on the veranda over the kingdom as it was falling apart in sorrow. With Discord's destruction spreading across the land. Her sister, Luna, came up from behind.

"Sister?" Luna asked. "I'm scared."

"I know." Celestia stated. "Everyone is. I have failed my mission on to find the ones to stop Discord."

"So, what's going to happen."

"There is one thing I can do now." she paused. "I must fight Discord myself." Luna was shocked.

"But sister, you aren't connected to the elements. If you fight him, you'll die."

"I know, Luna. But I just can't stand around and watch my kingdom suffer. I should have prepared for something like this."

"Sister, don't blame yourself. No one saw this coming."

"Vassles, prepare my armor."

"Yes, mam." The guards stated.

"Luna, this will most likely be the last time, we will see each other. That is why, if I die you will become the new queen."

"Sister," Luna held her. "I refuse to let you go." She began to cry.

"I understand but," she paused. "There is nothing else that could be done."

"The sixth night, the good one spent her final night.

For tomorrow, she will make her flight.

For on the seventh day, the day of judgment will start.

She is determined to keep the kingdom in one part.

The seventh morning came and prepared for war.

Saying farewell to her family and friends, she will see them no more.

With the elements in hand, to find the evil she flew.

To the town of Ponyville, the one the sinister slew."

She flew and saw a floating platform in the sky and standing on the platform she saw Discord, as chaotic, cruel, and sinister.

"DISCORD!" Celetisa shouted. Discord turned around.

"Ah, Celestia." Discord replied. "The queen of Equestria, it's been too long."

"You have gone too far. I have come to end you."

"So, you have come to face me. This is unlike you, can't find any bearers?"

"Wait, how do you know about that?"

"I found them." Then, Discord laughed.

"You, despicable. No, you are far worse than that."

"I have found out about the increasing corruption in the lower ranks. Eventually, you would have been overthrown by the rich. So, to free Equestria, I will kill every last pony, pegasus, and unicorn. I will build a new world run by Discord. But first," he paused. "I WILL BRING AN END TO YOU!"

Celestia confronted Discord in a climactic battle in the sky. The sky formed a mighty storm which moved with great speed. Mighty winds began to blow. Lightning formed in the clouds. Discord blocked many a hit from Celetsia and vice versa. Meanwhile, on the ground, many a pony watch the storm the tops of the clouds formed a draconios and an alicorn. Celetsia was able to bring an injury to Discord; However, Discord brought much injury to Celestia. Discord created a pike and it punctured a major organ.

"Celestia," Discord stated. "There is no way you can win. You will die today."

"This cannot end like this." Celestia began to use the elements of harmony.

"There is no way you can use the elements of harmony when you aren't connected to them." Then, Celestia's body began to glow. "What is this?" At that moment, Celestia was able to beat the crap out of Discord to the point of submission.

"Discord, for your misdeeds you have done. Return from which you have came."

"WHAT!"

"ANGELIC SALVATION BLAST!" Many light orbs orbited her. Then, each one struck Discord multiple times. Then, she converted her body into pure order energy. Upon impact, Discord was completely eliminated. The result was a rainbow-colored nuclear explosion.

"And so, the sacrifice of the good had slain the sinister one.

And a new age has finally begun.

What will become of Equestria in this era?

No one is certain, except the lord Stalyon ever." The story was finally told and the six can finally understand some things.

"The battle took place over Ponyville not Canterlot." Twilight stated. "What happened to princess Luna and the rest of Equestria? Why did Equestria fall?"

"The tale never said what happen besides that." Basil replied. "I wish I can provide more answers."

Twilight Sparkle found lilies and laid them on where Celestia's throne was in remembrance, saddened. But the time was to come when they had to leave Cantorlot. The seven ponies left the ruins. Before leaving, she turned back one last time. Basil patted her shoulder completely understanding her pain. Twilight Sparkle continued with her friends hoping that she can find the way home.
