Half a week has passed. Things have been pretty good in Ponyville once again. Still no attacks by Discord or the changelings so far. But Twilight Sparkle was certain of one thing. These weren't the only threats they had to face. There was something much greater at work. A direct link that could very well be in the Everfree Forest. Perhaps the reason why the laws that apply in Equestria do not apply there. The clouds who could unnaturally move on their own. There was something there causing all of this.

But she couldn't figure out what. Whatever it was. It had to wait. There are strange things happening in the Gryphon kingdom. And Discord and Chrysalis still roam around freely, planning to cause more chaos. Stopping them should be their number one priority now. But they couldn't figure out where they were hiding. All they could do is wait.

Rarity had meanwhile apologized to Carmine and offered him to to reside in her boutique once again. Carmine of course accepted this since Lyra wasn't going to let him stay over for another few days.

Carmine wasn't really bothered that Rarity had kicked him out earlier. He was not a man to hold a grudge. All is good now, so who the hell cares?

Heavy and Sniper were meanwhile eagerly awaiting for Rarity to finish up on their hats. Since Heavy decided to pay so much. The fashion pony decided to put a little more effort in to it as usual. She is the element of generosity after all.

"I really don't understand your obsession with hats." Carmine said.

"And that's coming from you? I never seen ya take off your helmet even once." Sniper replied.

"Da. It must be because he is half robot." Heavy added.

"Yeah... Let's just keep it to that." Carmine quickly wanted to change the subject. "So... Nice weather huh?"

"They're dooooone!" Rarity suddenly shouted with a sweet voice from the next room.

Sweet mother of god!

Words can not explain how excited Heavy and Sniper were. They rushed over the the next room punching each other in the progress.

"Piss off bighead!" Sniper threw his elbow against the Russian's face.

Heavy didn't even budge.

"Njet! Heavy paid so I will get hat first." He then slapped the Australian with flat hand. Sending him flying across the room. Heavy is a pretty strong guy you know?

The Russian then entered the room. His eyes immediatly set on the beatiful hats that seemed the brighten up the entire building.

"Oi ya bloody blockhead! Watch where you-" Sniper also entered the room. Complaining of course, but stopped midsentence as he spotted the hat that would change his life forever.

He took of his sunglasses. Mother of god! "It's... bloody gorgeous." He said amazed.

Sniper's new hat resembled his current hat extremely much. You know, the classic random Australian guy hat. But it had a trophy belt wrapped around it. Instead of teeth however it had beautiful gemstones strapped on. It also had a swirling orb of magic surrounding it.

Heavy's new hat was classical Russian ushanka. It was completely black. In front it had a Russian flag created from rubies and sapphires. This hat also had a magical attachment.

Best. Hats. Ever.

The BLU and RED mercenaries forgot they were sworn enemies for a second and started dancing around in delightful joy. They now both owned hats. Unusuals! One of a kind! With bloody magic! Once they're back home the teams are going to be so jealous.

"I can see that you like them." Rarity said pleased. "I've decided to add the magical orbs at the last minute. You know... since you two are being so generous."

"They're bloody amazing Sheila! I can't thank ya enough!" Sniper put on his new hat. It felt just as amazing as it looked.

"Da! We must celebrate this with glorious feast! Bring much vodka and sandvich!" Heavy also put on his new hat. Just by putting it on he could hear the beautiful Russian anthem in his mind.

"I'm affraid there is no time for that." A voice suddenly stated from the entrance.

"Princess Celestia! I'm honored. What brings you to Ponyville, and to my boutique of all places?" Rarity said greeting the princess of the sun.

"There's no time for explanations. Applejack. I need you to gather the rest of the elements and the final human. Then meet me again at Twilight's library." Princess Celestia said with a worrisome tone.

"What's going on then princess?" Applejack asked.

"Discord is coming." Celestia answered.

"An' that's why ya'll need to come with me right now!" Applejack explained the situation to Fluttershy.

"Oh my... But I don't think Ulfgar should be up and running just yet. His wounds have mostly healed, but he still needs rest." The cream colored pegasus answered.

"Well we need to meet the princess immediatly before something bad happens!" Applejack stated once again.

"And we will do so." Ulfgar suddenly appeared behind the two ponies.

"Ulfgar! You shouldn't be out of bed." Fluttershy said to him.

"Where is my blade and armor?" The dovakhiin asked staring Fluttershy down.

"You don't need such things right now." Fluttershy said.

"What? Are you insane? Discord is coming. I need my blade for what is to happen. This has to ends now!"

"Oh my... I don't think tha-" Fluttershy was interupted.

"Jus' give him that damn thing and let's get going!" Applejack gave Fluttershy a little push.

"...Fine. They're hidden in the cellar."

The mane six have now gathered here. So have the four humans. Derpy Hooves also decided to tag along when she spotted Sniper and the others being dragged along by princess Celestia.

All humans were of course armed to the teeth. However they didn't bring the dispenser. It was still somewhere around Applejack's farm.

"Justice will come this day. Discord will suffer for his deeds!" Ulfgar stated.

"Da! We crush ponies enemy with all might!" Heavy added.

"That's right. He'll learn he messed with the wrong Aussie." Sniper said while straigtening his newly aquired hat.

"So... how do you actually know he's coming?" Carmine asked the princess.

"Yes... Discord presented himself to me and my sister earlier today. He told me that chaos would find itself in all of Equestria this day. He also said that the elements would be useless against him. I'm guessing that he's bluffing so that's why I've gathered you here right now. We need to set up a plan if he is to present himself again." Princess Celestia explained.

"If he shows his face around here it will gladly meet the sharp edge of my blade!" Ulfgar was excited to defeat the villain.

"But princess! Haven't you read all the letters that I've send you? There's something else that could be a danger to Equestria. Right here in the Everfree Forest." Twilight said desperatly hoping that the princess would back her up on this.

"Twilight Sparkle... My prize pupil. I can see that you're troubled. But right now is not the time to worry about those things. At this very moment Discord is our biggest threat. We need to focus our full atte-" Princess Celestia was interupted as she heard someone slowly clapping from all around them.

"I'm most impressed Twilight Sparkle. I always figured you for an intellectual. But the less you know... the better." Discord's image appeared in all the windows and mirrors in Twilight's library.

"Discord! Come and face me coward!" Ulfgar shouted.

"Ah yes. How kind of you Celestia, to gather everyone for me. Really saves me a lot of time actually." Discord ignored the dovakhiin.

"Discord! What is it you're planning this time." Princess Celestia said angrily.

"Ah yes. I'm going to take over Canterlot today and make it my rightful palace." Discord started chuckling.

"We'll stop you no matter what!" Rainbow Dash stated.

"Oh yes. The precious elements of harmony. Oh how I tremble in fear. No. All of you aren't going to do anything. I'll make sure of that."

Discord snapped his fingers and a beam of light started appearing in the center of the room. Three magical orbs appeared from inside the light and rapidly started heading towards the group.

"Hey what the hell?" Carmine was dragged in to one of these orbs. Together with Rarity and Fluttershy.

Heavy just grunted as one appeared before him. He was taken in the light together with Applejack and Pinkie Pie.

"You are a coward Discord. Soon you'll feel the wrath of a thous-" Ulfgar was the next one to get teleported away. Together with Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle.

The three magical orbs exploded in to nothingness and the room was a lot emptier all of a sudden.

"What have you done!" Princess Celestia was shocked by these events that occured.

"Yes. Haha! They'll be dealing with their own problems. I'll be awaiting you in Canterlot Celestia. I'm sure we'll have lots of fun." Discord started laughing maniacally once again before dissapearing.

"Oi... What are we going to do?" Sniper asked the princess.

"It seems like its just us standing between Discord and Canterlot. I'll teleport us there right away and start evacuating the town. Are you prepared?" Princess Celestia asked.

"Crikey! I bloody guess so." Sniper answered.

Celestia prepared her spell.

"Wait!" Derpy shouted.

"Yes?" Princess Celestia said.

"Oh... Uh... Would it be okay if I come as well?" Derpy asked.

"Are you certain my little pony? It's most likely going to be an extremely dangerous event." Celestia warned the pegasus.

"I know... But I can't just stand idling at the side when my friends are in danger." Derpy was determined.

"Alright then. Let us proceed." Princess Celestia could only hope that the humans and elements would overcome their obstacles in time and would be able to assist Canterlot as soon as possible.

"Now what the hay is going on here?" Applejack said. Amazed at the fact they're only transported a few hundred meters away.

"Maybe Discord messed up his magic. You know, he does look like a klutz." Pinkie Pie could only come up with this explanation.

"I think we have bigger problem." Heavy stated.

He pointed forward. A dark figure was slowly approaching them. As it came closer the ponies gotten terrified by its appearance. It was a giant white humanoidish being. Armed with a chaingun equally as large as Sashsa. He was surrounded by an army of bat-like creatures.

Its eyes. Red of corruption once again. The creature let out a terrifying final roar before charging at the trio.

"Sssssssuffer..."

"Oh no! What's going on?!" Twilight was startled by what just occured. "What are we doing here?"

"Relax! I'll just fly up and see where we are." Rainbow Dash rose up the the skies.

"What cowardice this Discord shows once again. Truly an unfit ruler. Refusing to his own dirty jobs." Ulfgar said.

"I just hope the princess is alright..." Twilight was worried about her mentor.

"Uhh guys! We might have a little problem." Rainbow Dash returned looking terrified.

"Why? What did you see?" Twilight asked.

But Rainbow Dash had no time to answer as suddenly a strange creature leaped before them. Before they had time to properly take a look at the being it threw a grenade-like object to the trio releasing a poisonous black gas.

Ulfgar quickly pulled the two ponies away from this strange stuff. But was quickly forced to draw his blade immediatly after.

The creature rushed at him. Wielding a staff with chainsaws attached at both ends. The being started shrieking incomprehensible words.

Ulfgar parried the incoming strike with his greatsword. But this thing is dangerous. This much he could tell.

"What the hell happened?" Carmine asked.

"I think Discord managed to teleport us to this place." Rarity said.

"Oh my... Why would he do such a thing?" Fluttershy peeped.

"Because he's a dick that's why! Anyway. Let's start searching for a way out." Carmine was first to step forward.

*BOOM*

"SNNIIIIIPEEER!" Carmine yelled and pushed both ponies to the ground.

The bullet flew but a few inches from Carmine's face before dissapearing deep within a tree.

"Shit shit. What the hell's going on?" Carmine had no idea. Why is there a bloody sniper shooting at them?

"Gearsssssss..." A voice suddenly shouted from behind the two ponies and human.

"Shit! Run!" Carmine shouted before they were being chased by a barrage of bullets.

.

The town was quickly evacuated once again. The royal guards stood ready for whatever it is that was coming. Nothing could stop their determination.

Celestia, Luna, Derpy and Sniper were all at the outlook. Overseeing the entire town. If something were to come they'd be the first to spot it.

"We've been sitting here for two bloody hours now. Ya think that Discord is gonna show up or not?" Sniper asked.

"He has to... What reason else could he have to get rid of the elements." Celestia answered.

"Sister... It is coming." Luna suddenly stated while looking through the telescope.

A bellowing roar could be heard in the distance. A loud booming noise afterwards. Then it went silent for a few seconds.

"Oh god." Sniper got worried at this point.

"What? What is it?" Derpy asked.

Sniper pointed forward. Several slow moving rockets were heading straight towards them. And the giant creature that stood slightly further behind didn't look like a nice chav.

On top of this behemothian creature were Discord and Chrysalis. Riding it like a mount.

"Oh yes! Let the chaos begin!" Discord shouted excitedly.
