Chapter 5

"She's not here either!" Fluttershy spoke in shock. She came from a massive looking cloud much like a house with liquefied rainbows running in them.

"Don't worry Fluttershy," said Sora, "we'll find her, she can't be too far." He continued as he looked around.

Donald shut one eye and put his finger to his beak. He thought for a moment and slowly grinned looking at Twilight who was also in thought. "Oh Twilight?" He asked slyly, "What did she say she was going to?"

Twilight snapped out of thought and quickly looked to him, "Oh um well since he did disharmonize us and that would lead too-," she paused for a moment deep in thought and suddenly spoke out, everyone was startled, "she's with Discord!"

"She's hogging all the chocolate, isn't she!" Pinkie Pie demanded cutting into the conversation.

"Uh no," Twilight answered. "She's the element of loyalty so that means she's disloyal to anypony."

Applejack began to talk, "But why would she be with Discord? Wouldn't she be alone with nopony?"

"Actually no Applejack," said Twilight, "you're half right but you see when Rarity was disharmonized she had thought that boulder was a diamond," Rarity frowned slightly looking away.

"And Discord may have turned her into a heartless!" Sora added to her sentence.

Twilight nodded, "Precisely, with you helping us we'll get Rainbow Dash back and save Equestria!"

Sora pumped his fist, "Right!"

"Uh guys?" Goofy said as he looked in the sky seeing a passing grey Pegasus. "Isn't that there Rainbow Dash?"

Twilight snapped her vision to the sky almost missing the recognizable Pegasus, "Yes it is! Fluttershy can you follow her?"

Fluttershy slightly jumped when her name was called, she gave a quick nod and followed the grey Pegasus. Everyone began to follow Fluttershy, Sora and the gang cleared out any heartless along the way.

They confronted Discord with everyone in battle stance. Discord sat on a throne, he looked more bored than worried, "oh look at that, five little ponies, two whoever you are?"

Donald stomped his foot on the ground in anger, "what did you say to Sora?" Donald yelled.

Goofy bent over to Donald's head, "I don't uh talking about him?" This sparked Donald's rage further.

"Ah and yes you," he pointed to Sora, "didn't you read the message?"

"She right here!" Donald yelled as he pointed to Twilight.

Discord began to chuckle in between words, "Oh you thought?" He laughed only for a second, "You only part of it right," he raised a brow. He snapped his finger and a scroll suddenly appeared in front Sora's face, "are you that naïve colt? And to think the Keyblade master missed this obvious riddle. Too bad for you now that I have another one your so called friend."

They took their vision away from the note and saw their discord friends. Rainbow Dash hovered by Discords side, glancing over Discord. She was paranoid and cautious. Fluttershy eyes pierced at the group, her breathing was now audible. She started moving her front hooves trying to frighten them. A dark aura started appearing again and this surprised the group. Discord himself was quite shocked about this.

Sora readied his weapon, "Stop it Discord!"

Discord raises his hands in innocents, "I did nothing to her!" He realized who it was, "I'm running the show Xigbar!" He flailed his fist around.

A dark portal appeared behind him, "Bravo Discord," Xigbar stepped out of the portal before it closed, he clapped his hands.

"What is the meaning of this?" Discord demanded rudely.

"Listen," Xigbar started, "I think it's time to step your game up a little?"

Discord looked at him in confusion, "What could you possibly mean?"

"Let's just say the chaos you're making now is gonna go bye bye once Roxas either joins us or worse." He patted Discords shoulder and slowly walked backwards, he snapped his finger before disappearing.

Fluttershy turned completely black and grew twice her size; nothing was visible except her white eyes. Her wings sprouted and the repeating days and nights stopped to night. She shuffled the dirt with her front hooves, she was ready to fight.

Discord sighed heavily and snapped his finger; Sora's Keyblade was back in his hand. "Finish this up I don't have all day!" Discord ordered Sora.

He quickly glanced at his Keyblade, Discord, and looked at the corrupted Fluttershy.

The battle began with discord Rainbow Dash fighting with them. She still saw Discord as her own Cloudsdale and began to fly behind her only to get slammed by her unusually strong wings. She was looking behind and that gave the other fighters a chance to land a few hits before she send them flying the other way by roaring. She began to roam around ready for a surprise a attack. Sora ran up to her and she immediately flew up, did a midair back flip, and landed on the ground creating a damaging shockwave.

Everyone began throwing blows at each other and in the process of Rainbow Dash being thrown at Discord and releasing her from his hold and her colors returned. She looked around and noticed her friends were in trouble by an evil dark pony, Fluttershy wasn't in her mind. She speeds up to her going around and around until a rainbow like tornado surrounds her stunning her in the process.

"Rainbow Dash!" Twilight yelled in surprise, "Help us with Fluttershy?"

Rainbow Dash directed her attention to Twilight, "Hold on, that thing is Fluttershy?"

"Yes," Twilight replied, "She's being controlled and we need to weaken her enough for Sora to his job."

"Alright then," Rainbow Dash replied unknowingly unsure of herself.

The battle started once again but Rainbow Dash is going rouge. She sped by her as rainbow flames followed her catching Fluttershy on fire. Sora reacted to this as he gave Twilight the signal. She surrounds her in a purple aura and she couldn't get out. Sora reacted to this and used his Keyblade to pierce through the aura making the fire spread more. Next Rainbow Dash flew up past the clouds and straight down making a rainbow nuke explosion. It broke the aura and Fluttershy was on a rampage, she was still on fire dealing more damage to both. She charged at anything and everything, using her hooves, wings, and tail anyway possible to hit them. It was a bit tricky but her attacks were strong but her health wasn't. A few dodges and hits later she stopped and she was back to her normal self.

She had laid unconscious though but the darkness that almost consumed her crawled toward Discord. Sora took his Keyblade and pierced the crawling darkness vanquishing it. The sun rose and fallen again meaning it was back to "normal".

"Hey Twilight!" Spike shouted to Twilight as he ran with a saddle bag him. "I think you need these," he said panting as he showed the five necklaces and the tiara.

Fluttershy slowly rose followed by a squeak, "What happened?"

Goofy walked up to her and held out his hand to her, "That darkness was inside taking control of ya."

"Oh my!" She said in regret still lying on the ground, "I'm so sorry everypony!" She had started to tear up.

Sora walked up to her and patted her hoof, "There's nothing to be sorry about. It's not your fault the darkness took you." He said as everyone surrounded her.

Discord could be heard grunting as he rose from his broken throne. He patted himself down and said, "This isn't worth my time, I could have been doing other things besides this," he said. He looked over at the ponies and they were wearing what Spike had given them, "And what are you looking at?"

"Are you ready-," Twilight got cut off by Pinkie Pie.

"Oh wait a sec," she rain over to the chocolate rain drinking it and then went back to her friends scowling at Discord.

They all started up the beam and fired at Discord turning him to stone and everything else back to normal.

Donald walked over to the stone statue of Discord and examining it.

"We'll Twilight," Sora started, "We need to go now."

Pinkie Pie got straight into his face, "But why Sora?"

Sora backed up a few paces, "Well other worlds need us and I need to find my friends."

"Go Sora," Twilight said, "Your need to find your friends. I'm pretty sure we can take care of ourselves now. But one thing doesn't add up is why was Fluttershy that thing? Fluttershy," Twilight began to ask, "Were you around any strange animals?"

Fluttershy nodded her head, "I saw this black creature with white eyes and antennas."

"That was a heartless!" Sora exclaimed.

Fluttershy squeaked and began to shake, "It came out of the forest and I thought it would be nice if I took care of it."

"Did you touch it?" Twilight asked.

Fluttershy thought for a moment, "It swiped at me and ran back in the forest."

Twilight tapped her chin with her hoof, "I better write a report to Celestia on this."

Spike walked up to the statue and began glancing back and forth at Donald. He pointed at the parts of Discord and compared it to him. Donald did the exact same thing and they began to argue until a low roaring sound came from the statue and they ran away behind the group. Pinkie Pie revealed herself from behind the statue giggling followed by everyone else.
