Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Armonia Unveiled

Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Sorry for the delay in getting this one up, guys. I wanted to be absolutely sure I could do it justice. Hope I was successful!

I opened my eyes and glanced around the cell. Had I been dreaming about Armonia?

I must not have been dreaming. The Mane Six lay exhausted on the floor, clutching their Elements close, panting. Pinkie Pie, of course, was hyperventilating, but that's not unusual for her.

"Everypony alright?" I asked.

The others looked up at me and their eyes widened. Twilight didn't respond with words—she simply pointed at me, her mouth agape.

I looked down at myself and immediately realized I had definitely NOT dreamed.

My hands were no longer hands. They had become hooves, covered with baby pink horseshoes, lined with fur that seemed to flash silver and gold and white all at once. Stroking my mane, I realized that it floated without a breeze and glowed in stripes that were the color of each Element. I touched a hoof to my new magic horn and spread my wings again.

I was shaking with shock and awe. I had become Armonia!

The Mane Six quickly bowed before me, practically kissing my hooves. Even Twilight was prostrating herself. "What is your command, Princess Armonia?"

"Twilight, you know I'm just Tara."

Twilight raised herself and looked at me. "No. The prophecy has come true. You are now the most powerful alicorn Equestria will ever see."

"The most powerful…?" I suddenly felt very brave. "Then Sombra had better watch out!"

As I reached to try to rip the chains off my friends, I had a thought. They were made from dark magic. My alicorn magic could destroy the chains—but I had to do it right.

I closed my eyes and imagined how much I liked my friends and how I wanted to free them. As I did I could feel magic flowing through my horn, illuminating it with a cloud of six different shades. And as I wielded and commanded the magic, my friends' shackles simply dissolved in puffs of moldy green.

The ponies quickly leapt to their feet. "As my human counterpart would say," Rainbow Dash announced proudly, "let's go kick Sombra's sorry butt!"

I raised an eyebrow at Twilight. "You didn't tell them about the song you sang to defeat the Dazzlings…but you told Rainbow Dash about her human counterpart's favorite saying?"

Twilight grinned.

"Um, I don't mean to interrupt or anything," Fluttershy ventured, "but how will we get out of here?"

That was a very good question.

Then I suddenly remembered what I had thought the first time I had seen this dungeon. It looked like the solid form of the cloud spreading over Equestria. Could that possibly mean that like the chains, the dungeon itself was dark magic incarnate? Could I destroy it and free us the same way I destroyed the chains?

Nervous but resolute, I charged my horn again and a burst of blinding white light blasted the dungeon away into the darkened streets of Canterlot.

"Neat!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Alright, ponies," I announced, "we've got to find Sombra and defeat him. If we can do that, Equestria will be free again and we can restore the princesses' magic."

But there was no sign of anypony anywhere. All was ominously dark and silent in occupied Canterlot.

I sensed nervousness in my pony friends as I led them cautiously down the streets. Finally Applejack spoke up. "Am I the only one creeped out of her mind right now?"

"I'm not scared!' Rainbow boasted.

Pinkie sneaked up behind her. "Boo!"

"GAH!" Rainbow shrieked and shot into the darkened skies. Fortunately she didn't get far before Twilight grabbed her tail with her magic and pulled her back to the ground.

Normally the whole thing would have been laughable, but not now. We had no clue where Sombra was. A slip-up could mean disaster.

Twilight hurried next to me. Her purplish eyes shining with awe, she examined my alicorn form in detail. "Armonia," she breathed in awe. Suddenly she stopped in mid-stride—Pinkie bumped into her from the back but Twilight barely noticed. "Of course!"

"What?" all of us asked in near-perfect unison.

Twilight looked at me in excitement. "Remember the story Sunset Shimmer told you about how I became part of the Rainbooms and we defeated the Dazzlings?"

"Of course, but what—"

"And the winged unicorn that appeared?"

"Yes…"

"That was Armonia!" Twilight exclaimed excitedly. "I thought it was just a product of our magic taking the form of an alicorn. But it was a foreshadowing of what Armonia would be—an incarnation of all six Elements! Another prophecy right under my nose, and in the human world too!"

"So what does that mean exactly?" Rainbow asked. "You know, you being the fulfillment of all the Elements. Does that mean you have all their characteristics or what?"

"I'm not sure what it means," I answered. Quickly glancing at my hooves, I added, "But I'm sure I'll find out very soon now."

"Of course you will!" Twilight exclaimed and skipped along beside me.

I couldn't help but notice a change in the Mane Six's behavior. The first time I had led them into Canterlot (in my anthro form), all of us had been tense and afraid. Even moments ago, as I led them from the dungeon's remains, everypony had been nervous. But with Twilight's remembering of the prophecy at the battle of the bands, now they all knew that they were with the most powerful alicorn in Equestria. Nopony had to fear anything.

Just then Twilight's terrified voice cut into my thoughts. "Help! Help me!"

DUN-DUN-DUUUUNNN! XD The bit about the alicorn in the battle of the bands being Armonia was just my idea and was in no way inspired by Hasbro (except for that AMAZING song Welcome to the Show!) but I thought it was a cool idea. ;) Hope it was a good idea! :D
