Order, Harmony, and Chaos.
Chapter 4: The prison
(Well, hello everyone! this chapter is going to feature Screwball, one of my fave background ponies. now please review, subscribe, everything!
and, to bearie: None of that is happening inthis fanfiction like that. e.o)
As Celestia finished her story, the group of ponies stared at her with wide eyes. Celestia looked back at them, cocking her head at them.
"What is it?" she asked. Twilight shuffled her hooves and looked sheepishly at Discord.
"I-I just never suspected a past like this... I just don't..." Celestia smiled.
"Learning that the enemy you defeated used to consort with your princess? I wouldn't blame you. " she closed her eyes, then slowly opened them again. " And I know-It's a sad story. It was hard to live through. But now it's time to face the future and defeat Order so that something like this will not happen to you, your friends or family. Order does not feel any remorse for the lives that he takes or destroys, just as long as there is the order that he wants. and he will do anything for it." Celestia looked out the library window to the castle.
"Where Canterlot stands now, Is where Orders stronghold used to be. The old castle in the woods is where the battle with Discord took place. It destroyed the castle, and we decided to move to the fort over Order's prison, Known as Canterlot."
"I always wondered where the castle we found the Elements of Harmony was." Said Twilight Sparkle.
"Yes, It was the old capitol." She kept gazing out the window.
"I also forgot to tell you...The guardians that founded Equestria? You know of them?" Twilight sparkle nodded.
"I know of them. There was Chancellor Pudding head, her secrectary Smart Cookie, Princess Platinum, Clover the Clever, Captain Hurricane, and Private Pansy. They founded and discovered the land, and banished the windigos. But what about them?" Celestia turned from the window.
"You six are the descendants of the guardians. Specifically the ones you played as in the Heart's Warming eve pageant."
"Wow! that's amazing!" Said Applejack. "I-" Discord cleared his throat.
"I'd hate to break up your little chat, but there is business to attend to. Specifically, destroying my brother. And we need to get to the castle before he possibly escapes."
Celestia nodded. "We need to make our way to Canterlot. Pinkie pie, Applejack,Fluttershy, ride on Discord's back. Discord, create a...basket of sorts to hold them in." Discord snapped his fingers, and a 3 pony sized basket appeared on his back.
"I feel like a pack mule.." Grumbled Discord.
"Deal with it." said Celestia.
"What should I do?" asked Spike.
"Watch the library while we're gone, okay?" said Twilight Sparkle. Spike stood up straight and saluted.
"Now Twilight sparkle, Rarity, please come with me. I will carry you with my magic, and fly outside the castle walls." Celestia hopped onto the windowsill. Rainbow dash flew behind her.
"Wait, what about me?" she huffed angrily. Celestia smirked.
"Due to your...not very satisfactory comment earlier, about my sanity, you are going to fly as fast as you can. Are you up for the job?"
"What? No fair!" said Rainbow Dash, and she launched herself out the window, going as fast as she could. Celestia laughed and looked behind her at Discord.
"Come on...Lets fly!" The two took off into the air, going as fast as they could, passing a huffing Rainbow Dash.
"Hey, Celestia, How'd you get so fast?" asked RD, Flying up next to the Alicorn Princess.
"Don't you know dear? I invented the sonic Rainboom!" She said, Laughing and flying off. Dash's Jaw opened wide, as she lost ground to Discord. Pikniepie waved at her.
"Hi Dashie!" she said. Pinkie then began to poke Discord's head.
"Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet? Are we there yet?" she asked over and over again.
"Shut the buck up!" Yelled Discord.
"Oh allright." Fluttershy, who had been crouching in the bottom of the basket, lifted her head up for a single moment. She looked at how high they were, and grabbed onto Applejacks midsection, and sank to the bottom again. Applejack patted her akwardly.
"S'all right, just like a carnival ride, Fluttershy. Don't worry." Fluttershy squeaked. Things weren't so good on Celestia's side either. Twilight sparkle and Rarity were rolling through the air, flailing their hooves. Celestia turned benhind her for a second.
"Discord! teleport now!" The two dissapeared in a flash of light, then appeared in the castle courtyard. All the ponies fell to the ground panting. Discord. turned to Pinkiepie.
"We're here." He said. Pinkiepie giggled.
"Yay!" after a few minutes of panting from their near-death high flying experience, experience, Rainbow Dash crashed into their group. They rested there for a few seconds, then, to their suprise, a small purple earth pony ambushed them.
"Heeeey!" She yelled, jumping down, from her perch high above the castle walls, falling slowly, her propeller beanie spining as she came in for a spiral dive, her purple and white hair billowing out like smoke, and she had a cutie mark of a screw and a ball.
"Daaaaaadddy!" she yelled, diving right into Discord's stomach.
"Ooof!" The Draceques said in suprise, flinching. He opened his eyes, looking straight into Screwball's swirly ones.
"Hello there, kiddo!" he said, picking her up with his lions paw, and using the bird claw to spin her propeller beanie around, she flew up, and crashed into Twilight Sparkle. She gasped.
"I remember you!" Said Twilight sparkle. "Are you really Discord's Daughter?" she nodded.
"Yep!" she said. "Celestia's my mom! Dad said it was a one night thing." Twilight sparkle looked at Discord and Celestia, Who shuffled their hooves and looked around. Discord began to whistle. Discord sat up.
"Let's just forget about that...It was a weird night...Let's go to Order's prison... and just for get about that." he walked over and picked up Screwball, putting her on his head. He pointed forward.
"Let's go!"

The group reached a large building on the side of the castle courtyard. They entered the room, and the group noticed a few guards strewn on the ground. Celestia's eyes widened. she nuzzled the guards throat.
"What happened here, Silver Thunder?" she asked. The guard stirred.
"Order...He...he...the others...princess Luna..." They looked down the dark passage. A chill was sent their way, ruffling their manes.
"Daddy, whats happening?" Screwball whispered. Fluttershy gave a squeak. Suddenly, Something white and large flew up from the passage.
Order.
He flew out the building, leering down at Celestia and Discord. Screwball whimpered and hid in Discord's wings.
"Hello, Celestia." Said Order in a monotone voice. He had not fared well from his time in his own personal hell. His feathers were in dissarray, and his eyes were wide and blood shot. He cocked his head. He pulled something behind his back.
It was Luna.
A statue of Luna.
Celestias eyes went wide.
"No...No..."
"And now, for me to retake Canterlot."
