Chapter 4
Sora, Donald, and Goofy arrived at Ponyville again after their journey to other worlds. They found that Ponyville changed, a lot. They tripped on the soapy roads and chocolate rain poured on them by a pink cotton candy cloud.
"What's going on?" Exclaimed Donald.
"I don't know but the rain taste like chocolate milk," Goofy replied and stuck his tongue out to catch the chocolate rain.
"Hello Sora."
They turned to see a disfigured looking creature, he's like a creature sewed up with random limbs and body. They were ready to take offensive positions.
"Who are or what are you?" Sora demanded.
He chuckled, "Well I'm Discord of Harmony."
"So you did this?"
He disappeared for a moment and appeared behind Goofy, "You look surprised?" He disappeared again and appeared behind Donald, "I thought you knew?"
Donald hit him with his staff but missed, "Knew what?"
"Oh so you're all knew to this? Well let's explain here," he slid over the soap and bubbles popped up and formed little figures in it, "A Keyblade Master help dear ole Celestia and Luna and turned me into stone."
"How'd you escape?" Sora asked and the bubbles formed an arrow and it's pointing toward them. "Us?"
"No Sora it's me!"
They turned to see Xigbar grinning, "How's it going Sora? Oh and nice Keyblade."
Sora looked at his Keyblade and it was a mallet. Sora turned to Discord and said, "Where's the Keyblade?"
"Oh you have it. Now will you excuse me I have more chaos to reek," he slid down the soapy roads until he's not visible, a note landed by their feet. They also noticed Xigbar was gone.
Sora picked up the note and burnt his hand; to him it was like holding steel lit under a fire. They kneeled down to read the note.
Listen here Keyblade Master
I'm here to rule mister
If you want me gone the answer lies in twilight
Dusk, dawn, or night there's always light
Be patient and be polite
"What kind of riddle is this?" Donald exclaimed.
"Don't you see?" Sora said, "Twilight Sparkle is the key to fixing whatever happened!"
"You sure? It could be a trap!" Goofy replied.
"We'll handle it!"
"Uh Sora? What about the Keyblade?" Donald asked.
Sora looked at the mallet and exhaled, "Well we can't just stay here! We need to find Twilight!"
"Were ya think she could be?" Goofy asked.
Sora thought to himself, "We'll just have to look around for her."
They began their search around Ponyville trying not to slip on the soapy roads.
They soon were stopped by an odd looking pink filly. She had white and purple mane all twisted and curly. Her eyes were as if she was hypnotized and her cutiemark had a screw and a ball. She looked at them and started drooling not down but up. The gang was very uncomfortable with her but she came closer to them and held a club made out of water not ice.
They all got in their battle stance even though Sora had a mallet he could make do without his Keyblade.
The battle started and she immediately hit him like a stone object and he's on fire. She leaned side to side making her moves unpredictable until shooting dozens of bubbles from her mouth and at Sora. He dodges and weaved and began to hammer her with the mallet. He couldn't damage her. The bubbles hit Donald and spikes appeared all around the bubble. She backed off from his attack and her club turned to a wooden hammer and repeatedly hitting herself giving her extra health. Her health grew bigger and bigger with each hit. Sora had used every single spell he could use except for one. He used cure on the pony and her ten bars of health suddenly went to zero.
The filly was back to normal and it was Diamond Tiara. "What happen?" She looked up them in surprise, "What are you looking at actually I don't care," she trotted off not looking back.
Sora scratched his head and look down at Donald who shrugged and Goofy who shook his head. They were all speechless.
They headed to Twilights place and noticed a large hole on the side of it. They could see Twilight sitting on the bed without Spike.
"Hey Twilight!" Sora yelled to her but she looked back and back at the ever changing day and night cycle.
Donald frowned, "Sora she's looking a little pale?"
"I wonder why she's all upset about," Goofy replied.
"No she's literally grey you doof!" Donald snapped at Goofy.
"Wait where's Spike?" Sora asked.
"Right… Here," the dragon spoke in a painful matter on the balcony.
"What's going on with Twilight?" Sora asked.
"Can't… Talk… Rest," Spike said as a shot of green flame came out of his mouth with a scroll falling from the balcony and onto Sora's hands.
He opened it reading what Twilight has written to Celestia. She mentioned something about her friends and what adventures they had. He read aloud to Donald and Goofy but Twilight over heard him and climbed off her bed. "Those letters were mine to the Princess. Why is she sending them back?" Twilight cut in.
Her horn glowed and lifted the scroll up to her visual sight. She read word by word and her color came back. She started smiling and trotted down stairs to meet up with Sora. "Are you ready to find our friends Twilight?" Sora asked.
Twilight gave him a determined grin, "You better believe it."
Moments later at the Apple farm. The apples in the trees were five times bigger, rabbits with long legs, and Big Macintosh digging holes and acting like a dog.
The gang confronted Applejack who was uneating an apple. "Applejack I'm here to fight for our friendship!" Twilight spoke proudly. Suddenly Big Macintosh popped out of the ground and under Donald and growled at him.
"Uh oh," Donald said and ran away from the overgrown pony who then proceed to chase after him.
Applejack laughed but stopped well Twilight yelled at her, "Applejack, this is serious!"
"Oh now you want to fight, and where were you Sora?" She walked up to him with an angry expression.
Twilight pounced on her from the side and held her there. Her horn glowed near her head and the colors slowly went back to normal.
She shook her head and looked at everyone, "What happened? I was telling lies to ever pony including you," She took off her hat and put it on her chest, "Will you ever forgive me?"
"Already have now… Um Applejack?" Twilight looked past Applejack and saw Big Mac still chasing Donald.
Applejack sighed and proceeded to use a nearby robe and swung it around and caught Big Macs legs. He had fallen and was trying to get loose. "Ah say we outta get going before he gets loose."
"Good idea!" Donald said passing them and shortly after followed him.
Moments later they walked over to Fluttershy's house. Twilight knocked on the door and moments after the door slammed right in her face flying back.
"What do you want? I'm busy,"
"With what?" Donald replied.
"Angel will you be a dear get these so called friends out of my doorstep," A white rabbit with long legs appeared from behind and aggressively walked toward them. Donald shut the door in both their faces.
She yelled from behind the door, "How dare you!" The white slender rabbit was behind them all of a sudden and kicked them in her house.
She pounced on Applejack and said, "Angel dear can you be a nice little bunny and make them disappear. Applejack is mine!" She grinned and emitted a dark aura around her body.
The rest of them confront the slender bunny, he scolded at them. The path to Applejack and Fluttershy as well as the entrance was blocked.
The battle had started and slender bunny started to walk toward them and jumped hitting his head on the ceiling, "Angel be careful!" Fluttershy yelled out. He was already being attack by Twilight and the others and before long he hopped up and kicked them pushing them back. He grabbed the fan and started to rotate around and around making them fall back toward the wall. He stopped the spinning and was currently dizzy. He had issues hitting them but seemed like that was his strength unfortunate for them. He stomped on the ground and created shockwaves but Sora jumped and laid down multiple attacks before it was over. He was struck by a shockwave and flew back. The slender bunny did the same attack, they managed to defeat him but Fluttershy was distracted by Angel being defeated.
Applejack body slammed her into the wall. Even though she was strong as the darkness permitted her however it didn't protect her fragile body and in that effect it stunned her long enough to tie her up.
Sora and his friends stood battle ready as Twilight bravely walked up to the discord Fluttershy. She struggled to get free as she was tossing and turning. Twilights horn glowed and used the same spell with Applejack.
Fluttershy's color turned back to normal and as well as the darkness dwelled inside her vanished. "Oh no!" Fluttershy exclaimed. "Twilight, Applejack I had the worse dream!"
Twilight began to smile, "I know Fluttershy and we forgive you," she said as Applejack untied her.
"Hey Twilight," Sora began asking, "Is everyone like this? You know like Fluttershy was?"
Twilight began to think and simply shrugged, "I don't know Sora but it doesn't seem like Discord has the power to control the darkness."
Donald walked up to her, "How do you know about the heartless?"
"I read up on it, you should try sometime," she giggled but quickly turned to worry. "Oh no the others, quick we have to hurry to Rarity's!" She ran off before anyone could say anything leaving the rest following close behind her.
"Oh you hunk of a diamond Tom I won't let anyone take you away from mommy now," Rarity who was also under the effect of Discord had candles all around a big boulder the size of Sora. She admired its dull exterior while unsipping her tea.
Outside the others looked through her window and looked back at each other in confusion. Twilight went up to Applejacks ear and whispered, "It's all you."
Rarity suddenly rose off the ground and her back against her so called diamond, "Who's there? I know how to fend off envious little thieves!" She panicked and brought everything around her and barricaded herself and the boulder from the direction of the sound.
Twilight began to make hoof signals to Applejack and Sora and she began to go around the building. Sora and Applejack entered through the front door and Rarity immediately caught her attention to the two intruders. "What are you doing here? Get away from my gem, get away!" At the same time Twilight snuck behind her and used her magic and freed her from Discords hold.
She turned to Twilight and then the boulder. She pushed it out and said, "We'll never speak of this again."
Everyone went to Sugar cube corner and spotted Pinkie Pie. She was of course grey but was also in a small cart wagon with her upper body inside it. Donald volunteered himself and walked up to the cart and looked for Pinkie Pie. She yelled saying, "What do you want?" Making him jumped up startled and quickly angered by her.
"What was the big idea?" He yelled back.
"You're in my space!" She yelled back.
Goofy decided to cut in, "Why are you two fighting? Do yah think we outta go after Discord?"
"No!" Both of them responded angrily and continued to throw rude comments back and forth. Twilight face hoofed as Sora rubbed the back of his head as he shook it.
Twilight walked up to her and used her spell and freed her from Discord yet again.
She started to giggle and snort in between giggles. "I was grey!"
Sora walked up to Donald, "Nice distraction Donald."
"Distraction? Oh yeah right I meant to do that!" He smiled sheepishly.
Applejack hooked herself onto the cart and carried Pinkie while she giggles and laughs.
