And about seven chapters later, we reach our next goal of 50 reviews! Congrats to The dudeoffanfiction for review 50. On top of that, I continue to wish you all luck in the competition for the OC spot in the story.(I will continue reminding about the OC spot until chapter fifteen)


I awoke this morning due to my Pinkie alarm. She wanted me to get started on breakfast early, so I did. Something weird happened when I got out the bacon though. I went to turn on the stove, but when I tried my hand shot back. All I knew was that I started talking without my own consent.

"What happens if I get burnt?" I said looking at the burners. Once I decided I didn't want to be burnt, I put the bacon away and got out some cereal from the pantry. I had a few boxes of Frosted Flakes that I'm sure they'd like. I got out twelve bowls and filled them with cereal and milk. I put them down on the table. Everyone came into the kitchen right about then. They all looked at me and gasped.

"He didn't!" Rarity muttered loudly.

"What? Is something wrong with me?" I asked a little worried.

Pinkie came out of the back room and held up a mirror. I looked in the mirror and saw that I was tinted gray.

"Discord!" Rainbow yelled.

Then the same voice from yesterday came in, this time with a body to speak it's word, "You called?"

I ducked behind Fluttershy, who had walked to the other side of the table moments earlier. Discord just laughed maniacally, "I see. Your assumptions were correct, he does seem to be the seventh element. Now all you have to do is get him back to normal, and ready the elements to defeat me, then the seventh one will appear."

"That's it?" Twilight scoffed. She approached me and placed a hand to my head. I could feel how much she was concentrating. I watched her. Although, half way through the spell, she was knocked down by a force. Rarity and Luna were too. As I watched them, on the ground, they seemed to be in great pain. Almost thirty seconds later, a glowing ball came out of each of them. They floated toward Discord.

"Do you remember the 'No wings, No magic rule'? How about we do that same thing. Find your magic and you can use it to revive Will's normal self. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off. I need to make some popcorn, for the show. Oh and by the way, I'll be nice. The magic is somewhere in the house, barn, or woods," He said as he poofed away.

When the balls of energy, that appeared to be their magic, floated out of them, I noticed they had their own colors. Rarity's was a light blue color, Twilight's was Purple, and Luna's was a darker blue.

"That jerk!" Rarity yelled out, "Why'd he have to take my magic? I don't know that spell."

"That's true, but you do know the spell to find gems. He probably knew you could easily alter it to find magical energy," Twilight said.

"Girls! Talking will get us nowhere. We need to find your magic so we can defeat him," Rainbow said.

Rarity and Twilight nodded. Luna stepped forward and spoke, "We should split up. Me and Twilight will check the bedrooms."

"I've got bathrooms!" Pinkie said.

"We'll check the living room and storage room," The CMC said simultaneously.

"Big Mac, can you help me check the furnace room?" Rarity asked.

"Eeyup."

"Me an' Fluttershy 'll check t' woods out back!" Applejack said putting her arm around Fluttershy's neck.

"I'll check the barn," Rainbow said, "Will, could you help me?"

I nodded.

"Alright. Everyone split up. The sooner we have the magic, the sooner we can beat him and get the seventh element," Luna said.

It took almost half a day for anyone to find anything, but when we did, it helped us tremendously. What happened is that Rarity and Big Mac were looking around in the dimly lit furnace room, when Big Mac saw that the old wood burner had a faint glow coming from the back of it.

"Rarity, I think I found something," He told her.

"What is it?"

"Look at the back of this wood burner. There's a faint glow coming from the back. Help me get some of this wood and charcoal out of the way."

They worked for almost twenty minutes as some of it was stuck to the sides. When they got to the back of the stove they saw a ball of glowing light blue energy. Big Mac tried to pick it up, but there seemed to be a magnetic push around it. It was pushing his hands away, but he could still move it. He picked it up and took it out. Rarity's eyes sparkled when she saw her magic. Big Mac looked sternly at her as if he were asking a question. She nodded. He slowly pushed the glowing ball towards her chest. Towards her soul, the same place Discord had removed it from. It easily went through her skin and quickly found it's home back inside of her soul. She had momentary pain, but felt much better when it was over. She quickly was able to alter the gem spell and found one of the sources of magic, but couldn't find the other. Her magic seemed to be a little more powerful than normal as she focused her energy and was able to communicate with everyone telepatically, telling them to meet her next to the barn. Five minutes later everyone was there but me.

"Where's Will?" Twilight asked.

"He said he was going to keep searching for the magic in the barn," Rainbow said.

"Rarity, I see you found your magic!" Pinkie said hugging her and getting a small shock that made her hair poof more than normal.

"Yeah, I did. I guess it's a little glad it's back with me. I feel like I could do Celestia's job, my magic's flowing through me so much."

"It definatley shows. You're body is glowing light blue." Sweetie Belle said.

"Now, we still have to find mine and Twilight's," Luna said.

"That's the thing. I could find only find one of your sources of magic, with the altered spell, but the other I could only find a faint trace of and it seemed to be moving," Rarity said.

Just then they all felt the ground shake a bit. They looked towards the woods and saw an bear walking towards them. It got close to them and stood on it's back legs and growled. On two feet it was over eight feet tall. Fluttershy couldn't even muster up the courage to use a 'Stare' on it. Everyone could only dodge the bear's swipes of the claw for almost six minutes. Nobody knew how to take down an earth bear.

After those six minutes had past, nobody had the energy to run, but it barely mattered as the bear wasn't going for any of them. Almost. The bear had trapped the CMC in the corner that almost connects the house to the barn. They were all bunched together unable to move, due to how afraid they were. The bear was closing in on them. It stood up and was about to claw at them when it was startled by the barn doors bursting open. Everyone looked to the entrance of the barn and saw a sparking figure.

It was me they saw.

I was sparking with energy. I had something in my hand, they had no idea what it was. I did though. My normal self had returned for a moment. I held up what I had in my hand. A shotgun that had been transformed by the energy of it's current ammo(the same thing that revived me for a moment)into a BFG of sorts. I aimed it at the bear and fired. Although, beyond even my own surprise, what shot out was Luna's magic. It went towards the bear at speeds nearly that comparable to light speed. Even though it was going that fast, everything seemed to go in slow motion. When the ball of energy got to the bear, it went through him with almost no change in speed. Leaving a huge hole in it's stomach. The ball continued past the beast and went straight for the person behind it. Luna. It hit her with full force, but did no damage, as it was her magic. Although, she took half of it's momentum and skidded on the ground back to the edge of the woods. She would have gone into the woods, but she had her hand on the ground instead of just her feet to slow her down, like the brakes of a car. She stayed in that position, sparking like I was. After ten seconds passed, she looked up at the still standing dead bear and her eyes flashed. The beast vanished, leaving but one object. A floating purple ball of energy. This ball of energy, Twilight's to be exact, quickly spiraled into the air and came back down to the ground straight for it's home of Twilight's soul.

With Twilight and Luna's magic back they approached me. They put their hands to my head as I had just turned back to my gray form. They used the spell on me to change me back. After that, I returned to normal, with all of us still sparking from the energy we just had dealt with, we had fainted. Everyone knew we were alright, but carried us to the barn and placed us on the beds.

About half an hour later we all awoke. Everyone was thankful, that it was all over.

"Will, how'd you know to shoot that bear?" Fluttershy asked.

"I knew it wasn't real for two reasons," I said regaining my energy, "First of all, there are no bears in this part of Michigan. Secondly, Luna's magic, temporarily gave me the ability to see the life source of any creature, and I saw that the bear had no life force."

"Well, whatever. We should get back to our normal lives, after all, the wedding is tomorrow," Rarity said.

"That's right! It is. Well, I think you're right. We should get back to our normal lives," I said.

"I don't think even Discord is rude enough to interrupt this important an occasion," Twilight said.

We had no idea how wrong she'd be.


A/N-For those who don't know, a BFG is a type of energy based weapon in most cases. The context I'm using is like the ones from Quake III: Arena and Doom 3. When I was young I called it the 'Big Fat Gun.' Now I call it the 'Big Fucking Gun.'
