Chapter 7: The Beginning Of The End

Everyone had gotten a good night sleep and had met up at Sugarcube Corner to plan a party for Brock when he woke up. Pinkie was, Naturally, the one to set up the party. Rarity set up the decorations. Applejack set up the party food. Rainbow dash sent out the letter's and invitations to the party, with Fluttershy's help. and Twilight was, of course, the one to keep track of everything. everyone was helping with something to get the party set up. the Princesses even offered to hold the party in the main hall of Canterlot Castle. the six friends had gladly excepted the offer and were now doing everything on their power to make the party as good as it could be. Applejack, Big Macintosh, A.J's husband Jack, and now old enough to help Applebloom were all helping gather apples to make the food. Rarity and her husband Sky Liner were handling the decorations in the main hall. Pinkie and Blue Mist were baking the cakes and handling setting up the party events and making sure everything was good for Brock. Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo, Fluttershy, Prism Shine, and Shock Storm were passing out the invitations. and finally Twilight, Stardust, Luna and Celestia were keeping everything in line and organizing everything. everyone was happy to be helping with something. but then Celestia realized something, or more specifically, someone was missing from the list of people helping. "Twilight, have you seen Discord lately?" Celestia asked her student quietly. "uum, no not since he cast the spell on Brock no. why have you?" Twilight asked. "no i haven't and i'm beginning to get worried... i wonder where he could be?" Celestia thought to herself. she walked off and teleported to Discords room to see if he was awake. "hello? hello?" Celestia called as the only sources of light she could see were some dimly lit candles through the hallway. she walked down the hallway and looked into a few of the rooms she finally reached his bedroom there was a brighter light coming from inside but still a dim light, if anything. she reached for the door handle when she heard a very, VERY deep, low voice from inside. "well now discord i know you may not be able to hear me in the state your in now, but if you can i have waited so long to finally be free from that RECHED thing you call a body." She heard the voice say. she had no idea who it was or where it came from she just listened. "i have been with you since the first day you began to hate Celestia's parents. the first time you were almost torn apart from her by her parent's i was created. i am the most evil part of your mind become a reality. that is what TRUE discord is, was, and always SHOULD BE!" the voice started getting louder. "i have been confined to your mind until now, i was happy there being able to control most of your mind and causing you to do terrible things.... but the day the weak FOOL LUNA came to you and told you about what Celestia thought of you i was locked into the back of your mind." Celestia heard the voice hiss the last sentence or two. "i was locked into the deepest reaches of your mind until i was strong enough to break free from it. i am the worst possible part of your mind come to life. and now that you are in the same state as that weak fool Brock i will be free to imprison you and build my strength enough to TAKE OVER EQUESTRIA!!!!!"the voice said to Discord and laughed maniacally. then Celestia saw a white flash come from the room and she quietly left the tower to go warn Twilight and the others. she sprinted into the room gasping for breath. "Princess Celestia what's wrong?!" Twilight ran over and helped her over to a table. "someone has done something to Discord and is planning on taking over all of Equestria." Celestia managed to force out. "what? who is?" Rarity asked her as she recovered. "i didn't get to see him but he said he was the worst part of Discords mind brought to reality. he said that he was created the day my parents tried to separate us from each other. he also said he put Discord into a coma and that he was going to take discord into a dungeon and hide until he was strong enough to take over equestria!" everyone gasped and looked around. "we must cancel the party and begin preparing for the worst case scenario if this madman does somehow become strong enough to defeat me and my sister we will need to have support to help us from falling into defeat." Celestia said as a set of golden armor appeared on her body with a golden sword at her side. Luna saw this and her own set of night blue armor appeared with a light blue sword at both of her sides. "alright everyone come to the royal Barracks with us we will have the blacksmith forge you each a set of armor with the shape and color of your choice." Luna said as her and Celestia walked away. everyone followed then to the armory. they stopped when they a large guy standing over the forge with a no-sleeve shirt on making some weapons. "Blaze, i would like you to meet my Personal student and her closest friends, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie." Celestia said to the big guy. he wasn't a pegasus or a unicorn so he must have been an earth pony. "pleasure to make your acquaintance." Blaze said and bowed. "and how can i help six fine ladies like yourselves today?" he asked turning back to the forge. Luna spoke to him first. "they each require a set of armor of their color choice." Luna said to him as she walked over to his side. "alright so what kind of armor would you six like to get today?" Blaze asked them. they all asked for a full body set of armor the same color of their cloths with their cutie marks engraved into neck the of the armor. "alright i can do that just give me about four hours at most and i'll have the armor forged, cleaned, engraved, shined, and improved to it's finest by then and i'll be able to start on your weapons." Blaze said as he reached back and opened a box and grabbed a huge chuck of purple metal and threw it into the melter and started throwing coal into it. "alright everyone let's leave Blaze to his work and go get started on your training." Luna said. they all followed her to the training hall and looked around in awe at the size of the room. then they looked at the armored woman training with one of the guards. she was wearing a pitch-black set of armor and was using a black sword with a white handle. they had no idea who it was but they stared in awe at her skill. they watched as she tripped the guard and pinned him down to the ground with a sword at his neck. "well, well, well you have improved since you began training here." Stone shield said to the Armored woman. "well i learned from the best!" she said as she took off her helmet and turned to face the Princess's. "oh hey Luna, Celestia."  Silver Star said to the Princess's as she walked over. "good day Silver, how has your training been coming along?" Luna asked. "well as i'm sure you can see i have improved quite drastically since i began training with Stone Shield." Silver said as she pointed to the guard brushing himself off. "wait.... let me get this straight.... your a sword-fighter?!" Rarity asked in disbelief. "Rarity, of course i am! i've been training with Swords since i was till part of luna's mind!" Silver said with a laugh. "so Celestia i take it your here to get me to train them aren't you?" Silver said sarcastically and laughed. "why, yes i am actually." Celestia said with a smile. Silver stopped laughing and stared at her with disbelief. "your kidding..... your kidding right?" Silver asked. "no Silver i am completely serious. i require them to be trained so that when the time comes they will be able to fight off the evil being that has incapacitated Discord and imprisoned him somewhere." Celestia said with a plain expression on her face as Silver sighed. "fine i'll teach them what i know. but don't expect a miracle." Silver said and looked at her friends. "you know guys i'm not trying to be ignorant or mean but i haven't seen any potential for fighting in you since i was nightmare moon, and that was only with the elements of harmony. but i'll do my best to help you get ready." Silver said reassuringly to her six friends. "i presume you've already met Blaze and he's working on your armor am i right?" Silver asked as she grabbed everyone a training sword. "yes Silver we've already been through the armory and are now here to train." Luna said. "alright then who want's to train with me first?" Silver asked her friends. they looked at each other. "fine aah guess i'll go first then." Applejack said as she stepped forward. "alright Applejack, LET'S BEGIN!"
