(this continued part 2 I everyone like this one happened mean seven and Ed's defense Discord or lost be friends forever.)
Meanwhile, Applejack raced through the maze, running toward where the center was supposed to be. She was going at a good pace when something caught her eye, and she backtracked to one of the other pathways to find three red apples. She stepped toward them and blinked when the apples suddenly rolled away by themselves.
"What in tarnation?" She asked, chasing after the apples.
Applejack followed the apples to an open space that had a pond and apple trees. She promptly came to a stop.
"Where am I?" She wondered and winced when she was bonked on the head by an apple. She became confused when more apples fell out of the trees and rolled around her before forming three piles of dark red apples, light red apples, and green apples, which all began laughing. "Who are y'all?" She asked. The pile of dark red apples rose up, forming eyes and a mouth.
"The keepers of the grove of truth," it informed her. "You may ask us…" It then deflated.
The pile of light-red apples rose up next to speak. "…one question…" And then it deflated.
The green apples rose up next. "…past, future or present."
"But be warned…"
"…that the truth…"
"…may not always be pleasant." Applejack didn't look comfortable at all.
"All right then." She decided. "I don't trust this place worth a hill of beans, but I've got a really bad feelin' about this feller Discord. What's gonna come of this mission we're on?" she finally asked.
The Red apples rose up and guided her over to the pond, where they were joined by the Light-red and Green apples. "For the answer, you seek…" it began.
"…go ahead, take a peek." The Light-red apples said.
Applejack peered into the water, which rippled, and a scene showed her and almost all her friends and the Eds, all of which were arguing except Ed.
"I hope I never see you again!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "And those four monkey freaks!"
"Me too!" Fluttershy shouted.
"I wish I was never friends with you big lumpy sockhead horses!" Eddy shouted! "Come on Double D, let's find someplace else back home!"
"Says the one who keeps scamming the neighborhood sac for your failed scams, Eddy!" Double D grumbled as he was arguing with Eddy.
"SO WHAT!!!" Eddy shouted, "IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY SCAMS, THEN BACK OFF SOCKHEAD!!!"
"OH THAT SETTLES IT EDDY!" Double D trotted back.
"Oh, if shorty hot-headed Eddy hates parties and doesn't like ponies... Fine!" Pinkie shouted.
"Fine indeed you brutes!" Rarity shouted.
"Fine! we not been here ever again, coming boys leave this place as we find back home,.I be ever see this place again!" Vicky said to them.
"What is going on, Eddy?" Ed said, confused by the way to see everyone arguing, "Why is everyone arguing at each other?"
"It's settled then." Twilight Sparkle agreed coldly, and the seven ponies parted ways Double D, Vicky and Eddy argued with each other over their differences while Ed was confused at first. Applejack stared in horror as the scene faded away, refusing to believe what she'd seen.
"No! Our friendship? Over?!" She exclaimed distraughtly. In her dismay, she was unaware of Discord hovering high above her, directing the apple piles while chuckling evilly. "It can't be true. It just can't!" she protested, taking off her hat to cover her face with, refusing to believe it. "That just can't be the truth."
The Light-red apples began speaking and the orange pony looked at them. "When all the truth does…"
"…is make your heart ache…" The Green apples said. Applejack looked at it, and Discord's face and voice began to overlap it, with the hypnotic influence of his eyes spreading to hers.. "…sometimes a lie is easier to take." Discord let out a laugh as he and Applejack's color faded to a greyed hue.
A section of the maze wall lowered as Twilight ran past. Twilight stopped and backtracked, seeing Applejack staring into space.
"Applejack! Thank goodness!" She said with relief as she trotted over to the apple pony, unaware that there was something very off. "I thought I heard voices over here. Who were you talking to?"
Applejack's eyes were back to normal before she answered.
"I was talking to… uh… nopony! Nopony whatsoever!" She lied.
"What?" Twilight asked in confusion.
"Nothing." Applejack repeated, walking past her friend and still lying. "Come on, uh, we best be going."
"Did Applejack just…?" Twilight started before, chuckling. "Nah... Come on, Twilight! Applejack wouldn't lie."
-
Meanwhile to the Eds, Eddy was still jogging to keep up his pace. As he jogged, he looked back at the Jar of Quarters. He was goated to see his big change of quarters for the jawbreakers but must not try open the jar or not break it by accident as he was kinda smart enough to not fall on Discord's trickery.
"There's no way I'm opening this jar of quarters," Eddy asked, as he was struggling but managed to carry this heavy jar of quarters on his own. "But, I must not open it till we finish Discord's game."
As he asked that,he continued on his paths to find his friends and stop Discord.
Meanwhile Double D was passing through a maze to figure out where he was going until he stumbled across the paths find his two pals and the girls too.
-
Pinkie meanwhile bounces her way through the maze while whistling. As she takes a turn she was surprised to see an opening filled with smiling balloons making some eerie laughs.
"Whee! [chuckles] This is the greatest balloon garden I've ever seen! It's the first balloon garden I've ever seen, but still! Wah!" Pinkie was then tripped by something and landed in a mud puddle. She looks to see it was a balloon tied to her hind leg and several other balloons gathered around her and started laughing at her mockingly.
"Hey, what gives?" Pinkie asked.
"What's the matter, Pinkie Pie? I thought you appreciated a good laugh?" Discord asked appearing in front of Pinkie.
"It's different. They're laughing at me."
"It's hardly different. Your friends laugh at you all the time." Discord assured putting his face in a balloon.
"My friends laugh with me, not at me." Pinkie reassured happily.
"Oh, really?" Discord asked and as the his balloon head spins around Pinkie making her eyes follow him dizzyingly he laughs mockingly along with the other balloons.
"No! Stop it!" Pinkie ordered but the balloons continued laughing. Then the faces of her friends appeared on a balloon of their colors and the balloons were turning into her friends andEd's joined in the mocking laughing.
"Stop laughing at me!" Pinkie demanded trying to hid herself on the ground embarrassingly.
"Oh, poor Pinkie Pie. And here I thought laughter made you happy." Discord said and used his mesmerizing eyes on Pinkie. Using his eyes to hypnotize her as he did Applejack.
"Happy?" She asked before standing up and becoming greyed out. "I don't think so." She said with a very angry attitude.
"Happy? I don't think so." Pinkie boldly said and turned gray.
Back at the balloon garden every balloon popped and from behind an entry Double D walked through seconds later,which made him relieved and noticed Pinkie Pie at the corner.
"Pinkie!" Double D called. "I am glad to see you her-" He took a few steps and then stopped, looking confused. "Pinkie, are you okay? You don't look so good..."
"Glad to see me, DD? Why? Need a good laugh?!" She said, walking past. Double D looked very confused as she did so.
"Why do you look… a bit grey?" He asked. She zipped into his face.
"Was that supposed to be a joke, DD?!" She exclaimed.
"Um….No. It was a concern considering you're very joyish and entertaining." He said. She rolled her eyes and started walking. "Uh….Pinkie, it's this way."
"I know that, DD!" She exclaimed as she walked back towards and past him. Double D scratched his head and began going back to following the scent.
"Something tells me that this must be Discord's doing..." Double D thought in his mind.
-
Rarity was walking through a different section of the maze in search of the center. "I was expecting an audience with the Princess, not outdoor sport." She said before walking into a wall "Agh." Then she noticed the three diamonds in the wall she just walked into. "Oh my..." Images of Discord appeared on the surface of the three diamonds, laughing cruelly.
"Welcome to your lucky day, Rarity." He taunted, weaving his spell. "You've found the one thing in Equestria that could rival my face for sheer beauty. What do you think? You like?" The diamonds began glowing hypnotically.
"Yes…" Rarity said, falling under the spell and she moved toward the diamonds. "I like very much…" She stopped and shook her head violently, to clear herself of the hypnosis. "No! No, I shan't succumb to such fabulousness." She turned and walked away, struggling with every step she took.
"Must… get to the center… to meet… the others." She encouraged herself.
"Mine!" She turned back around, her color fading as well. She began digging to get to the diamonds
After some time, Rarity had dug a path through the wall and was satisfied with herself.
"Well, Rarity. It took forever, but it was worth it!" She said. Before her, was a very large diamond. She shook the dirt off and ran over to it.
"Who knew three little gemstones would turn out to be this handsome hunk of a diamond?" She said with a happy gasp to be added to the end. "Now to get you home."
Ducking as low as she could, she got enough of her back underneath the monster gem to allow her to hoist it up. As it was now on her back, she began to trek away. It was at that moment when the wall she dug at collapsed, revealing Twilight and Applejack.
"Rarity! Are we glad to see…" She began to canter over, only to stop when she saw that Rarity didn't have a diamond, but a humongous boulder on her back with a painting of Eddy being shirtless and doing a post as if he was a strong brute. "Why are you carrying a humongous boulder with a painting of Eddy being shirtless?" Twilight asked.
Rarity flipped the boulder off her back. "What do you mean, 'boulder'? and a painting of Eddy?" She demanded. "This big beautiful bedazzling rock is a diamond! And it's all mine. Keep your envious little eyes off it! I found it and it's mine fair and square!" She got the 'diamond' onto her back again and struggled to carry it while being followed by Applejack. Twilight couldn't help but look on in complete shock and concern before following them.
she hard time with the boulder, "Little help here!" Rarity called out struggling to hold up the heavy boulder on her back and Twilight came over supporting the rock on their backs as well. "Thanks,Twilight." Rarity thanked gratefully.
"You're welcome–" Twilight said happily thinking there was a little of generosity in Rarity.
"But don't get any ideas about my gem! I know where you live." Rarity warned and they continued their search for the their last friends.
-
Ed was running along the maze walls and hope he find the girls and his friends too with not discord got to them yet is all right.
-
Meanwhile as Vicky running along the maze look for her friends girls and boys, but suddenly her think she was at center the maze, be she see not see his friends and Ed's nowhere. so her said called to them. "hello! guys, girls! where are you, I here now" so sudden Discord stood from her. he said to her "oh poor little Victoria! you think you are alone, not friends with you now, what think no! friends to protect themselves from you!?"
so Vicky shook her head not heard words what Discord said, her said to him with angry look across her face. "not true Discord I be believing them and after I find them as with we will defend you!" so her turn to leave sudden Discord stood from her again with evil smile and he say. "oh! not believe me all, had about your cousin I sure you he want petition around here all the dangerous he got hurt here, I be sure not you around him protecting, trick him a baby all the time!"

"I known to believe now, not my cousin I know about of him." so Discord turn Victoria"s head around face him and said "know the truth now your friends not need you to your protection and need to care for yourself" so Discord use his hypnotically on her as her lost colors fading way too. after Discord as disappear from her.

so Vicky rolled her eyes and said "fine! we find them first and we are leaving this place." so she walked away from Ed as leave he very confused from her, he hope find the others soon not to late.
-
In another part of the maze, Fluttershy was slowly edging her way through the maze, using her hoof to follow along the side like Double D previously told her to. "Okay, I can do this. I can..."
A few butterflies flew by and were walking through, startling her. As she yelped and dove into a hedge wall, she went in and stuck her head out. "Oh, wait a minute." She saw what startled her. "Butterflies? The butterflies take a turnand Fluttershy began chasing them.
"Wait! Don't leave me here!"
The butterflies continue their flightFluttershy hurries to catch up. She skidded to a stop and saw multiple paths before her. That was until the butterfliescame behind her, prompting her to turn around and see that the butterflies had the of Discord. Fluttershy…
"One of the butterflies began, turning out to be a high-pitched discord. "…looks like you've been left behind by your so-called friends, huh?"
"Oh no." She turned with a smile while shaking her head. "I'm certain they're doing their best to find me."
They started to circle her. "Well, it must be so upsetting to know how weak and helpless they think you are." Butterfly Discord tried again. It didn't work. "Besides, wouldn't you be running away from these terriblewho ruled Equestria by Discord?"
"Not at all. Iamweak and helpless, and I appreciate their understanding." She said with a smile.
"Yes, well, surely it burns you up, I mean—" Discord's real voice came out before he went back to his high-pitched voice."—that they're always pointing out your flaws, right?"
"Not really. I think I'm awfully lucky to have friends who want me to be the best I can be." That was what did it. Discord turned into himself out of frustration.
"Oh, for goodness sake!,You've been kind for far too long, my dear."
He said as jabbed her with a talon to hypnotize her. "They're supposed to be mischievous, destructive, and chaotic! Time to be cruel. Arrivederci!"
A hedge wall dropped, revealing Double D and Pinkie. Double D heard everything from Discord, which explains Pinkie being a bit grey, as he managed to spot her and attempted to jog toward her. He saw Discordstanding there, smirking at Double D as he was shocked to see Flutteryshy dazing before shaking her head off to sense her surroundings. "Fluttershy!" He called as he moved, but knew she was under Discord's influence. "Oh for crying out loud, why does this have to happen-" He slid to a stop. "Flutteryshy, are you okay?"
"I was okay." She turned around and glared at Double D. "Thenyoushowed up."
"Oh my... did Discord do this to you?" He asked as he looked at her.
"Who's Discord? Did you get a problem with that? Then take that curved horn and make everything alright!" She growled at him. Double D was in shock. "Oh that's right, I forgot." You can't."
She turned and tried to flick him with her tail. He dodged it by jerking his head back. He dodged the tail but hit his head on the snake statue he was carrying.
He rubbed his head as he watched Fluttershy walk on, hip-checking Pinkie and knocking her to the ground.
"Discord. What in sam hill is the meaning of this!!! Why are you doing this the ponies?!" Double D exclaimed as he glared at Discord. "Aren't you supposed to play fair on your game?!"
"How so, Eddward." Discord chuckled,Oh, don't worry Double D... I'm sure your Ed friends are alright there." Discord said, looking at Double D and having one more task to do, "And I'm gonna get some popcorn to see what Eddy and Ed are up to along with a certain pegasus."
With that, Discord disappeared and Double D sprinted through to catch up with Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy.
-
Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was racing through the maze trying to get to the center as fast as she could, making good time. She then stopped when she heard thunder and began to look around. She saw something that looked like her cutie mark. A mini cloud that fired rainbow lightning occasionally.
"I've got you now, element." She said as she began to chase after it.
Rainbow Dash ran through an opening and skidded to a halt when she saw Discord reclining on a white cloud hammock between two apple trees and he was wearing sunglasses.
"Oh." He said with a relaxed tone, stretching. "I can see why you like these clouds so much. Very plush."
"Get off there and put 'em up!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed as she raised her forelegs and stood like a boxer, punching her hooves. "Come on! Let's go!"
"Hey, I'm here to deliver a message," Discord informed her as he sat up.
"I've got a message for you too!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, ready to fight. "Where are girls and the Eds!"
"Listen closely, this is important." Discord started as he moved over to her.
"A weighty choice is yours to make:
a right selection or a big mistake.
If a wrong choice you choose to pursue,
the foundations of home will crumble without you."
He snapped his fingers and summoned a white cloud, setting it spinning, starting to hypnotize and show her, her home Cloudsdale collapsing.
"Cloudsdale?" Rainbow Dash gasped fearfully, falling under his spell. "Crumble… without me?
Cloudsdale is shown to collapse and the pegasus escaped from the collapse.
"No!" Rainbow shrieked.
Discord made a present appear before her, and stepped next to her, placing a clawed hand on her shoulder as her skin tone faded.
"That box contains your wings." He told her. "You can take them and leave the game, or you can carry on aimlessly wandering this maze. Your choice."
-
Meanwhile, the three Eds and grayish Vicky came together as they passed throughthe maze with Discorded Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. so Ed tell Edd what happened to Vicky, Edd started to get worried about he oldest cousin as he noticed Vicky was grayish just like Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie too.
The Eds found himself in the courtyard where he saw the Elements, laying there at peace.
"Finally," Eddy grumbled as he took a step into the courtyard. "Let's get those stupid Elements so that the girls can get my justice to Discord. He's gonna repay me with my quarters."
"Let's get them, Eddy!" Ed exclaimed as he grabbed Eddy and marched to get the Elements. But... things would go for a turn when Double D knew something was wrong.
A very loud thunderclap got his attention. Double D and the Eds looked around on high alert, only to see Rainbow Dash flying into the sky, disappearing behind a cloud.
"Oh no!" Double D said as his pupils shrank. The maze walls began to sink, leaving nothing but a crater and revealing the location of the other group. "Discord got Rainbow Dash!"
"Double D!? Eddy?! Ed?!" Twilight was heard calling. The Eds turned to see her running over.
"Twilight! Did you see Rainbow Dash flying away!?" Eddy asked. She stopped before them. "She lost us the game!"
"I was gonna askyouthat, Eddy." She grumbled. The laughter of Discord was soon heard. All heads turned their way.
"Well well well." He started. "Somepony broke the "no wings, no magic" rule." He snapped his fingers and gave everyone back their wings and horns, but he didn't fill the half jar of coins for Eddy since he was hotheaded. "Games over my little ponies! And you too Ed-Boys! You didn't find your precious Elements. Looks like we might be due for a big old storm of chaos."as he to run to Ponyville.
he laughed at he mayhem and an umbrella and began laughing heavily. As Twilight looked at him shocked, with Eddy and Double D looking at him angrily to know he screwed them over, Ed was confused but happy for some reason.
"So does this mean we won Eddy?" Ed questioned, which made Twilight and Eddy glared at him.
"No Ed... We lost the game from Discord." Double D assured him that they lost.
"Oh... so that means... WE'RE DOOMED EDDY!!!" Ed exclaimed in a worrying tone.
Discord was still laughing at the group, neither the Eds nor Twilight were liking this. Pinkie glared at him.
"And what are you laughing at?" Pinkie shouted, not taking kindly to the laughing.
Discord wiped a tear from his eye as he was still laughing. "Oh, you ponies are just the most fun I've had in aeons!" He stated happily.
"Well quit it!" She exclaimed as she poked him with a hoof. "You'd better think before you laugh at the Pink-" She looked around for a moment to think of what to call herself before quickly giving up. "…ie Pie!"
"Oh, yeah? Well, ha, ha." Fluttershy taunted from behind her. Pinkie zipped over to her, not liking the fact that she was being laughed at.
"well neither find everypony's coming find back home I not stay must long." so Vicky said to them uncared after looking back her real world. so Edd started very worried now.
"Quit it!" She exclaimed.
"No," Fluttershy told her. "Ha, ha!"
"QUIT IT!" Pinkie shouted, covering her ears.
"No." Fluttershy taunted again. " Ha-ha-ha, ha, ha!"
"Why are Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie still fighting at each other, Eddy?" Ed questioned.
Over with Rarity and Applejack, Applejack moved over to the rock.
"Uh, Rarity?" She called. Rarity turned around to face her. "This here diamond of yours with shirtless Eddy? Twilight said we should split it seven ways since we, uh, found it together." Applejack lied.
"Hai-Ya!" Rarity exclaimed as she hit Applejack with a flying kick, which sent her flying the other way. "Try it, punk! He's mine! All mine And you can kiss Eddy's flank!"
Applejack was backing away from Rarity's multiple high kicks.
"Girls, why are you all acting like this? We need to stick together!" Twilight exclaimed.
"You know, I still wonder why Rarity's big rock has a painting of you being shirtless Eddy." Double D weirdly said to Eddy before turning towards Twilight, "And Twilight, this all has been Discord's doing. Meddling with the pony's mind to fall on Discord's trick."
While they argued, the Eds and Twilight shot glares at Discord, who was sitting on a couch, eating popcorn and enjoying the show.
"It's just too entertaining." He said. The two stepped over to him.
"Stop it, Discord! You're not playing fair!" Twilight and Double D exclaimed.
"I'm not playing fair? Perhaps we haven't met." Discord said as he stood up. "I'm Discord. Spirit of chaos and disharmony?" He then got in Twilight's face. "Hel-looo?"
Eddy cracked his fingers to pay Discord back for the jar of quarters, but Discord teleported back to his seat before he could try to mock Eddy back. Double D then stepped forward.
"Taking away the elements is one thing, but as soon as Ed and Eddy almost got to the end was a dirty move Discord." Double D glared at him. "We were so close until you decided to hypnotize Rainbow Dash just to make us lose." "How are we supposed to find the Elements of Harmony now?!" Twilight and Eddy added. Discord looked at both of them before he started to laugh. Twilight and the Eds both looked confused.
"Did you really think I was going tokeepthe Elements of Harmony in the wrong location?" He asked before laughing harder. He then teleported the four of them back in time as ghosts, to when he first gave them the riddle.
"Twists and turns are my master plan.
Then find the Elements back where you began." The windowed Discord said before they teleported back. Discord then looked at Double D.
"Prior experience has taught me that a nose like you and your Ed friends would've been able to detect where they were and keep the ponies from ever entering the labyrinth. So I had to think outside to box. Send you on the right path, in the wrong direction." Discord told him. Double D's eyes narrowed at him as Discord began to walk the opposite way.
"Keep trying you four." He said before turning around. "Maybe the magic of friendship can help you." He mocked before going back to his normal voice. "Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to wreak."
With that, he snapped himself away, and a thunderstorm of chocolate rain poured down on the four of them. Pinkie looked up in disgust.
"Chocolate milk? I hate chocolate milk!" She exclaimed.
"Aww, I wish Pinkie Pie was happy for Chocolate Rain." Ed mumbled.
Fueled with anger and frustration, Eddy's jar of quarters broke out of nowhere, making him panic to see his quarters spreading in pieces.
"Guys, hurry, uh!? My jar of quarters broke and I needed help to stack them!" Eddy panicked.
"Don't worry Eddy, I'll help you." Ed happily said as he helped Eddy to pick up the quarters.
"'Find the Elements back where you began'." Twilight recited. Double D paced back and forth. "Back where you began."
Rarity was hauling off her boulder before Applejack jumped onto it.
"Don't touch my gem!" She scolded. Fluttershy flew over and placed a hoof on the rock.
"I'm touching your gem, Rarity! Ha, ha!" Fluttershy taunted. Pinkie zipped over.
"What areyoulaughing at!?" Pinkie exclaimed to all three of them. "Huh" "I want to going back home, I not dear all you!?" Vicky said not care.
"I don't think we'll be able to go home until we figure this out, Twilight." Double D said. That made it click in Twilight's head.
"Wait a minute. Home!" Twilight said. Double D looked at her before also getting the click.
"Our journey began-" Double D started.
"-When we moved to Ponyville." Twilight finished.
"So the elements must be in Ponyville!" Ed exclaimed happily after helping Eddy's quarter panic.
"Double D, you really do like showing your genius," Twilight said, Double D looked confused for a brief second before sighing in relief.
"For a brief moment, I thought you said something completely different." Double D was admitted before Twilight started heading back to Ponyville.
As she moved, The Eds and the others followed. Eddy had a bag to store his quarters so that he doesn't lose most of it.
-
Sometime later, the group was on a road leading into Ponyville, and Ponyville was in chaos. Trees and buildings were on floating midair islands; the town square pavilion was completely uprooted and hovering upside down; bright pink water flowed in the stream at the border; separate pastel blue and pink checkerboard patterns were covering different stretches of the ground; houses were plunked on crazy-quilt hills; clouds were over the whole town, but only one section getting rained on; a faded lime-green sky was what was above the town.
"Come on, everyone." Twilight started. "I'm certain this is what Discord's riddle really meant! If we get back to the library, I have a book that I just know can give us a clue!"
The Eds grabbed Twilight, pulling her away from the rabbits with the incredibly long legs from their first encounter with the chaos running by. Nearly trampling Twilight.
"Whoa!" She exclaimed as she saw this happen. She then looked at the Eds "Thanks for the save, Eds." The Eds let go as Fluttershy began talking.
"Ugh. Angel, you missed on ramping on your friends!" She was heard saying before shaking her head. "Mama's so disappointed in you."
"You should watch your surroundings when a stampede happens to run to their destination, Twilight." Double D says as he and his friends looked back at those rabbits with long legs.
The sun then zipped down and darkened the entire area.
"Wow, I can see so much better now." Applejack sarcastically said. She tried to walk, but a slides on was siding around and pushed Applejack, skidding into the five friends she was in front of. Stopping before getting to Twilight and the Eds. "I meant to do that."
Twilight and Double D were trying to stand up but had no luck doing so, Double D was able to stand, but he was sliding across the road and at crush in to Vicky who try stand up of the road she give him the mean look across her face. Ed seemed to have slid his foot and gotten used to skiing around the slippery floor as he was getting the fun around it. Eddy however was displeased as he kept slipping from the floor multiple times, making him irritated. The sun came back up, revealing the road to be made of bubble soap.
"Discord's turned our dirt roads into soap!" Twilight exclaimed.
"Not even the good kind either." Double D said as he started slipping but tries to keep his balance. and Vicky stand back up keep her balance up. "Ed seems to have fun with this, but Eddy isn't too good at balancing from the soap."
"This is like skiing around in the snow, Double D." Ed happily said.
"Ugh… can't even get my standing balance from this soap floor, sockhead." Eddy growled. "Besides, we're dealing with a snakehead taking over the world, to begin with."
That's when Discord began to skate on by. "Beautiful, isn't it?" He asked before he gestured to the town. "This is the new and improved Ponyville, and these are only my first changes."
Pinkie began to glide by with ease, striking a few poses while Ed glided through.
"This may look like fun, but it's not!" She said with a completely stern look on her face.
Discord's lion paw wrapped around Double D, Eddy and his talon around Twilight. His body materializes next to them and he begins to lift Twilight into the air and had the ground below Double D lift up so they could see Ponyville.
"Picture it—the chaos capital of the world!" Discord said as he took his paw from around Double D, Eddy, and held Twilight out, right as the sun went down.
"I can't picture anything. It's too dark." Twilight said.
"I can picture something. Your fate by bringing my quarters back, snake freak." Eddy growled.
Discord drops to the ground below him. Then he let go of Twilight, Eddy, and Double D, making Double D drop down to catch her. He dropped below her and she landed on his back.
"Well, for all of you pony folk and Eds, wait a few minutes and you'll see it in the beautiful light of day—or not," Discord said, skipping over them and disappearing. Double D and Eddy stood up and looked at Ponyville.
"I'm not about to let him turn Ponyville...or anywhere of Equestria, into a chaos" Double D said. "Everything around Ponyville looks like the time we broke reality back home."
"He won't be. Not if we have anything to say about it." Twilight said. Then Fluttershy glided by.
"Don't worry. You won't." She said before laughing. Twilight groaned as she lowered her head. Double D placed his hand on her back.
"Keep your cool Twilight. They aren't being themselves." He comforted. "They're under Discord's control and are trying to make your life harder."
-
A few more minutes goes by and the group arrived at the Golden Oaks Library. As they arrived, the sun shot up into the sky.
"Okay, we're here. Everyone please, please, please just go inside, please?" Twilight asked, wearily.
"Um… Twilight, they seemed to be pretty arrogant…" Ed said.
"I absolutely refuse," Applejack said, contradicting her statement as she trotted in. She got even greyer. Double D doubletake as he saw this happen and knew Discord's influence is greying them down.
"With Pleasure," Fluttershy said as she flew over. She stomped onto the flower bed before entering the building. Also turning greyer.
"Mmm! not home is real do for now!" vicky says for she walk in the library as she more greyer now.
"I hate libraries," Pinkie said as she trotted in, turning greyer. Twilight and the Eds turned around and saw Rarity trying to move the heavy boulder still.
"Pleeeeease? We gotta hurry!" Twilight and Double D begged them.
"Forget it, you four. I know what you're up to. The second I go in, you'll have your Spike come and take Tom!" Rarity accused.
"Tom?" Twilight, Eddy, and Ed asked.
"You… named it?" Double D asked, which made Eddy and Ed laughed during this situation.
"Well, it's not going to work!" Rarity exclaimed as she started stroking 'Tom', turning even greyer.
"You're not going in without him, are you?" Twilight and Double muttered. Rarity shook her head. Ed and Eddy walked over.
"I got it." Ed said as he lifted it onto his back with Eddy helping Ed out.
"Much easier since you have unpredictable strength, Ed." Eddy grumbled.
-
Inside the library, Spike was curled up on the floor sleeping with his ears constantly twitching, while holding a broom. Next to him was a bucket of water, which Fluttershy had picked up.
Spike shot splashed, waking him up. He quickly rolled to the side and looked up.
"What did you do that for, Fluttershy?" Spike asked.
"Cause you just look so peaceful." Fluttershy snickered.
"I… uh…" Spike stuttered until when he heard Eddy's voice.
"It's not gonna fit through the door, sockhead!… I said it before we even got to the door!... You know what? Forget it! Just let Sparkle teleport it into the library... Too bad Rarity, it's going to be this way!!! Three. Two.-"
Suddenly, a large boulder crashed through the wall from Ed's strength right to the floor. Rarity then scurried into the library and dove onto the boulder protectively. The Eds and Twilight walked in.
"Be careful next time Eddy! You'll ruin his beautiful finish." Rarity complained.
"Oh for the love of-" Twilight and Double D were about to complain.
"Twilight! Ed, Eddy, and Double D!" Spike exclaimed as he ran out and over to them. "What's going on? Why is everyone so… Grey."
"Big skinny Monster brainwashed them!" Ed exclaimed.
"Don't ask," Twilight said. "We need you to help us find something."
"Hey, Twilight. What's soaking wet and clueless?" Fluttershy asked.
"Fluttershy, I've had just about enough—" Twilight was responding to Fluttershy before she was drenched by Fluttershy pouring water onto her head.
"Your face!" Fluttershy said before slamming the bucket on her head. Ed ran over and took it off.
"What's happening to everypony?" Spike asked as Double D and Eddy.
"I guess you just bring out the worst in us, Spike," Applejack said as she walked by.
"Ignore her Spike," Eddy told him. "Long story short, little dragon, Snakehead Discord did something in the maze, forced us into the challenges, and now our friends are acting the exact opposite of how they usually would due to their greyish color."
"And FYI, Spike, Discord has hypnotized Twilight's friends and my cousin under his influence…" Double D answered Spike's concern, "Pinkie isn't joying, Fluttershy is rude, Applejack is not speaking truthfully, Vicky uncared not use to protect us, and Rarity… she has a rock with a painting of Eddy behind shirtless for sure as she claims it's a big diamond. And Rainbow ran away to lose us the game."
"And now, We've got to find the reference guide to the Elements of Harmony before somepony does something she'll regret!" Twilight gritted her teeth at the end.
"The Elements of Harmony?" Spike asked before remembering. "Oh! I know exactly where that book is!"
Spike climbed up a ladder and pulled the book out.
"Found it!" He called out. He was then smacked with a scroll, making him drop the book into Fluttershy's hooves.
"Ha!" She taunted.
"Oh no you don't, Flutters." Eddy said as he got into a pouncing position.
"Keep away!" Fluttershy said as she tossed the book. Eddy turned to look at who she threw the book to. It landed on Applejack's nose. He ran over to her.
"Give up that book, JackApples!" Eddy exclaimed. She tossed the book into the air. Eddy jumped up and swatted it. Spike looked at the book and ran to it, Fluttershy flew after it. Eddy's ear twitched, which left Fluttershy flying ahead of him to the book. Before she could get to the book,.
so Vicky use her magic to take book way, but for she walk away of it, both of Ed and Eddy surprise attack behind her, as they fight others over it and as for with out not warning, Vicky as buck both Ed's fly crush into the bookshelf knock all the books on they ground as both Ed and Eddy in the dazeds after growl in pains. so Eddy said Dazeds "Mommy! can you read me bed stories!?" before one book hit he on head knock him out.
so Vicky just for walking with book, as Spike running over to grab the book way of her. He picked it up and threw it to Twilight and Double D. They both tried to catch it, but Rarity interfered.
"Mine!" She exclaimed as she grabbed the book and ran with it.
"Hey! Do you even know what you just stole?!" Twilight and Double D exclaimed, running after Rarity.
"No, but if you want it, I want it!" Rarity said back. Twilight pounced, only to land short and face plant. She looked up in annoyance.
"GIVE HER THAT BOOK!!" Double D shouted. "We don't have time for playing games." all them fight over the book as It would have gotten to her if it wasn't for Spike pouncing on the book and sliding it back to Ed, who grabbed it and tossed it to Twilight.
She held it with a death grip, and the Eds, and Spike stood in front of her defensively, armed with teeth, fangs, and a scroll being used as a sword.
"Get back! All of you! This is my book, and I'm going to READ IT!" Twilight exclaimed. but moved over to the Eds and Spike, and Twilight as she flipped through the pages. Inside the book, the seven elements were all there.
"The Elements!" She exclaimed happily. The Eds looked at the book in slight amazement. "Now that the elements are here, you can turn everyone back to normal." Spike and Double D celebrated.
"See, girls? We did it! We found the Elements of Harmony, together!" Twilight is also celebrated. None of the girls were replicating her feelings. This made her look deadpan. "You don't even care, do you?"
"No." They all said. Twilight's ears flopped and she began to look sad once more.
"I never thought it would happen. My friends…" Double D,other two Ed's. tried to give her a comforting hug but flinched upon her being suddenly fueled with anger. "…have turned into complete jerks!"
One by one, she gave a necklaces and tiara tostarted snapping the necklaces and tiara on the others necks and head.
"Necklace! Necklace! Necklace! Necklace! little crown thingy ...Big crown thingy!" Twilight said putting on her tiara element. "Come on, everypony, let's go!" Twilight said as she started to walk out the door. Double D pulled her back by the tail.
"Twily, I'm eager for everyone to take Discord down too, but aren't we forgetting something important." He hinted. Twilight turned to face him. "And why give the Elements to the instead of your friends?"
"We got the liar, the grump, the hoarder, the uncaring and the brute being nothing but COMPLETE JERKS!!! and That just about covers it."Twilight shouted in fury.
"But guys, aren't you missing somepony?" Spike asked.
We're forgetting Rainbow Dash, Twilight... So who's gonna take her place?" Eddy said.
"Oh yeah, the backstabber. Okay, I guess we need somepony who's loyal. But who?"Twilight said. Twilight looked around her friends atbefore looking at Double D.
"There's no time to hunt down Rainbow Dash." She said, placing the necklace on him before walking towards the door. "So congratulations, Double D, you're the new Rainbow Dash."
"Me!?" Double B exclaimed. "B-b-but what if she finds out I've been impersonating her? Ugh…that won't end well and it's violating her representation of Loyalty." Double D worry fully said envisioning could possibly happen. Nothing he thought of ended well with him.
"Don't worry, Double D... Eddy, and Ed will protect you if anything happens," Spike said, placing him on his back.
Now let's go defeat Discord so we don't ever have to talk to each other again!" Twilight said. The Eds was a bit concerned upon hearing that. Double D then quickly moved out of the way of the stampeding five and followed the group.
so Rarity was pushing Tom in a very slow, struggling manner toward the door.so Rarity trying her hardest to bring her Diamond Rock, Tom, to the scene. Double D called Ed to get 'Tom' and Twilight used her magic to teleport them both out of the library so that Ed is needed to defeat Discord. Move!" Twilight urged and started levitating the giant rock.
"Look out, here comes Tom!" Twilight warned and crashed the rock through the balcony window letting it land with a loud thud.
-
Ed pulled his back out and Tom and Rarity were falling down. He used his hands to throw Tom to the side and watched Rarity. Sliding them both down as Twilight stood in front of the group.
"Well, well, well, I see you've found the Elements of Harmony." Discord was heard saying. The group looked and saw Discord floating a short way away from them.but the Eds shivered. "How terrifying. And are those the new Team of Harmony?"
"Discord! I've figured out your lame riddle! You're in for it now!" Twilight exclaimed.
"I certainly am. You've clearly out-dueled me, and now it's time to meet my fate." Discord said as he put on a pair of sunglasses. "I'm prepared to be defeated now, ladies. Fire when ready."
Discord wiped a target onto his mid-section.
"Formation! Now!" Twilight exclaimed. and the group except for Edd formed up with an uninterested grunts. "Rainbow Dash, get over here." Twilight called andDouble D gulped and got off his back to get in the formation.
All right, let's get this over with." Twilight said and they all closed their eyes as a wind starts blowing and their elements start glowing. They soon start floating in the air and opened their eyes as raidiant glowing white lights and their elements start glowing brighter. The others also have a glow surrounding them as well with their elements joining in the light. This was starting to intrigue Discord as he watches in facination and a bit of fear. As it looks like they were about to finish it once and for all the light suddenly stopped and the group were sent falling back to the ground.
"What's going on?" Twilight asked confusingly.
"Mine's workin'. There must be somethin' wrong with yours." Applejack said.
"I HATE the Elements of Harmony!" Pinkie declared angrily.
"Hmph! Garbage." Fluttershy said and threw her necklace away a couple feet.
"MINE!" Rarity shouted and took Fluttershy's necklace.
"well seems it's not work it all," Vicky said take out her tiara.
Double D took his element off and placed it on the ground.
"Sorry Double D," Spike said as he came to the scene. "I know it should've been Twilight's friends to take care of this." Sorry, Twilight. I guess I'd better get back upstairs and clean up the library. Good luck with all this- whoa!" Spike was going back to the library until he was pushed in the back by Fluttershy putting him in a daze on the ground.
"Oops, sorry, Rainbow Crash. [chuckle]" Fluttershy chuckled mockingly.
Discord strolled over to them whilst clapping hauntingly and snapped his fingers to bring Twilight's friends over.
"Bravo, ponies and Ed-Boys, bravo! Harmony in Equestria is officially dead. Discord rules, Celestia drools." Discord said, placing a talon on Twilight's nose. Twilight went for a bit again, but Discord made the talon disappear as if he actually bit his talon off, only for it to reappear back. He began laughing and Twlight let out a tiger-like growl. Discord skated away.
"It's your fault it didn't work!" Pinkie complained, seemingly looking towards Discord.
"Who are you talking to?" Twilight asked.
"Any of you!" Pinkie shouted. "ALL OF YOU! I'm outta here!" She hopped off.
"Now wait, we don't have to give up just yet." Double D tried to tell the group.
"I better go, too," Applejack said as she walked by. "I've got new better friends waiting for me at the farm."
"Girls wait." Eddy tried again, raising his voice. "We still haven't restored Equestria in peace!"
Rarity didn't say anything, only hauling off her precious rock. It then proved too much for Twilight.
"WE'RE DOOMED EDDY!!!" ED said, tearing up that hope is lost.
Edd turn to see his cousin leave too but his called to out her "wait! Vicky? not go please, we need you, without of element of Brave have we defense Discord please!" so Vicky didn't say anything be continue walked way leave everyone else behind. Edd's head was down of defense.
"FINE!" She screamed after them. "Leave! See if I care! I don't need you guys either! With friends like you, who needs…" She looked at her leaving friends. Her last hope was finally diminished. "enemies…?" She finished sadly as she hung her head. Double D turned to look at her. Her tail began to grey, making the Eds panic.
"No... No no no no no no no NO!!!" Double D said as he ran to her. Placing his hands on her shoulders. "Twilight, please. You can't give up just yet! We still need a way to bring your friends and my cousin back!"
The greying didn't stop as it kept going.
"Twilight? Twilight looked at me!" Double D begged as he was tearing up.
Twilight's head still hung but finally looked up, and her eyes told Double D everything.
"I promise, everything's gonna be okay. I promise me and my friends are gonna fix everything. Okay? Pinkie promise. Okay?" Double D tried, slowly getting desperate and wiping the tears off. The greying didn't stop and was reaching her neck.
Sadly... It was over, Twilight had turned completely grey.She had given up. She used her magic to gently take his hands off before she hung her head to start walking back to the library. Double D reached a hand out to her as she walked away.
As Twilight walked away, a single tear fell out of her eye, and it landed in a heart that had broken in two. It was no coincidence that one of those hearts reflected at the Eds. Double D's feelings flopped and when he tried to take a step forward, the floor he and the Eds were standing on spun him around, making him look at the even more chaotic Ponyville. The long-legged bunnies were now accompanied by ballet-dancing buffalos, a stallion running across the frames of the device the readers were reading on, and a googly-eyed purple mare floating around while flicking her bottom lip.
"Oh, my stomach!" Discord laughed as he popped up next to the Eds. Double D and Eddy looked back at Twilight, but Discord turned his head forward. "Ed, Edd, and Eddy, you've got to see what I just did!"
Berry Punch was unfortunate enough to be standing under a giant pepper shaker with a The pepper caused herand the her sneeze and upon doing so, the buildings around them collapsed like cardboard cutouts.
"It's priceless!" Discord guffawed happily. Double D walked coldly on his grasp and in front of Discord, angrily glaring at him.
"Forgive my lack of humor, Mr. Discord, but I don't find turning my friends against me, and changing Equestria into a dystopian dimension straight out of a Broken Reaily of Ed's imagination to be particularly funny." Double D told him, his eyes narrowed.
"Ah yes, the time when you Eds broke reality back in Peach Creek huh? The third time's a charm am I right?" Discord nudged him. "Your friends have all turned their backs on you, even the neighborhood kids too. Shifted the blame. And left you behind."
"And guess what, Lumpy Snake Freak," Eddy said as he brings his fist. "Me, Double D, and Ed are still here. My friends will always be with me and can leave all they want. But I won't leave them or the ponies behind."
"Yeah, Eddy!" Ed happily exclaimed. "Show this skinny monster who's boss!"
Discord became amused with Eddy's speech of light and he started laughing again.
"You think, Eddy. The one who tried to scam the Neighborhood Kids over jawbreakers." He guffawed. "You think that you can take me on your own? Well, since you three broke reality, I'm going to bring your Peach Creek fellows to Equestria." "but to bad that Vicky not with you three Eds as out of seven elements nothing you can't do haha!"
Discord snapped his fingers to spawn in the Peach Creek gang in his chaotic magic. Nazz with a purple lizard body, the Three-Headed Rolfs spoke gibberish, Plank in Johnny's body with Johnny's Head to swap roles, Liquid Jimmy in a glass with mouthless angry Sarah, and Kevin who looked normal at first but his Bike with wheels is filled with spikes. This made the Eds panic as Discord already knew he wanted to scare them."Yo, Peach Creek gang, get after the Eds and capture them while working together!" Discord ordered, "Once you capture them, you'll be rewarded with Jawbreakers and help me take over this land of chaos."
"Run for it, ED!!!" Double D yelled as Ed grabbed Eddy and Double D to make a run for it as the Chaotic Peach Creek gang andset on to chase the Eds.
"Oh, I can't wait to see how the Eds confronted their familiar faces from Peach Creek!" Discord chuckled, this is a win for me after all."
Discord laughs as he pretty much finally won to rule Equestria over... or is it...
