I woke up to see a bright morning over Ponyville as the sunlight blazed through the window, thankfully it's not in my eyes but above my head. Getting myself ready for the day, I took a few bits out of my jar and headed out of my home, walking through the town. I then spotted a group of fillies and Ms. Cheerlie going in the same direction.

"Oh good morning Bond Racer." Cheerlie greeted as we walked along through the town.

"Oh morning Ms. Cheerlie, are these fillies on a trip?" I asked.

"They sure are...actually do you think you could help me?"

"I have a lot free time so I can, what do you need help with?"

"Well, I need a support assistant to watch over the fillies behind me in case they get lost or wander off."

"That doesn't sound too hard, sure, I can do that."

"Thank you, Bond." Cheerlie then turned to see the fillies, "Alright class, this is Bond Racer, he is going to our assistant watcher for the day."

The fillies said nothing but I didn't mind that. I walked along side the group as we continued on from out of Ponyville and in a field with a maze just off Canterlot.

"I want to start our field trip here in the world famous Canterlot sculpture gardens." she said, "That statue over there represents friendship." she then pointed to the statue with three fillies on it...they almost looked like the CMC's who were among the group. "Alright, my little ponies, this one represents victory."

We then saw the pony standing up with a flag...why do I get the feeling I'm walking into a Warhammer 40,000 workshop?

"How could would it be to have that as a cutiemark?" Scootaloo asked.

"Cool...if you were actually victorying if you want something." Applebloom remarked.

"That's not a word!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed.

"What are you, a dictionary?"

"Alright you three, let's not split from the group." I said to them.

We then caught up with the rest in a second.

"Now this is a really interesting statue." Cheerlie said, pointing out one statue that looked really different from the rest. "What do you notice about it?"

"It's got an eagle claw." Applebloom answered.

"And a lion paw." Scootaloo added.

"And a snake's tail." Sweetie added whilst jumping.

"This creature is called draconequus, he has the head of a pony and a body of all sorts of things. What do you suppose that represents?"

"Confusion."

"Evil."

"Chaos."

The three fillies answered.

"It's not chaos you dodo." Sweetie remarked at Scootaloo.

"Don't call me things I don't know the meaning of." Scootaloo answered back. "And it is too chaos."

"It's not."

"You're both wrong." Applebloom intervened, before they ended up in a brawl.

"Okay, okay, break it up you three!" I said as I used my magic to separate them and landed them down a few feet away from each other.

"Actually in a way, you're all right." Cheerlie said. "This statue represents Discord, which means a lack of harmony between ponies. In fact, you three have demonstrated discord so well that you each going to write me an essay explaining it."

The other fillies giggled in the back and so did I when nopony was looking.

"Now let's go and I don't want anymore fighting."

"And I'm going to make sure of that." I added.

We carried along walking through the gardens and thinking back to what was explained about that statue especially the word 'chaos', I guess I really am in a Warhammer world at the moment, just hope I don't run into the Farseer, I don't want my mind possessed! After a long walk, we took a break by the Canterlot Garden Cafe, I then saw clouds approaching above the sky, but they weren't grey...they were pink! It started to rain as well, it looked like chocolate rain. Wow, that singer would have a field day if he saw this for real...I knew for sure that this wasn't normal, I had to find out why this is happening now.

"Excuse Ms. Cheerlie, I'm going to have to leave the field trip, something tells me I may be needed for something important." I said to her, pointing to the clouds.

"Alright Bond, do be careful."

"I will."

I then flew away from Canterlot Gardens and I was up in the sky when I spotted Dash flying towards me.

"Bond Racer, Twilight's been looking for you!" Dash exclaimed.

"I can already tell, judging by the weather right now." I said.

"Come on, we need to go to the Princess."

"I'm right behind you."

We flew towards the castle where we met up with the other five, after we flew down and landed, we galloped into the castle to find Princess Celestia walking from both sides of the stairway in worry.

"Princess Celestia, we came as fast as we could." Twilight said as we walked further inside the castle.

"Thank you Twilight, thank you all." Celestia replied.

"Is this about the weather and the animals weird behaviour? What's happening out there? Why isn't my magic working?"

Celestia put up her hoof to stop Twilight from speaking. "Follow me."

We nodded and followed the princess up the stairs and into the throne room were she began to explain.

"I've called you all here for a matter of great importance. It seems an old foe of mine, someone I thought I defeated long ago has returned. His name is Discord." We then saw a window glass image displaying Discord which scared Fluttershy. "Discord is the mischievous spirit of disharmony. Before my sister and I stood up to him, he ruled Equestria in an eternal state of unrest and unhappiness. Luna and I saw how miserable life was for Earth ponies, Pegasi, and unicorns alike, so after discovering the Elements of Harmony, we combined our powers and rose up against him, turning him to stone."

"All right, Princess!" Rainbow Dash cheered, but Princess Celestia continued.

"I thought the spell we cast would keep him contained forever but since Luna and I are no longer connected to the elements, the spell has been broken."

"No longer connected?" Twilight questioned.

"This is Canterlot Tower, where the Elements are kept inside since all of you recovered them." She formed a determined and serious expression on her face. "I need you to wield the Elements of Harmony once again and stop Discord before he thrusts all of Equestria into eternal chaos."

"But why us? Why don't you—

"Hey, look!" Pinkie Pie interrupted. "We're famous!" Pinkie Pie pointed towards one of the stain-glassed windows which displayed us defeating Nightmare Moon. Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack were depicted on the left side while Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie were on the right. I was on the middle. We were all using our elements to defeat Nightmare Moon, who was encased in a bubble on the top.

"You seven showed the full potential of the elements by harnessing the magic of your friendship to beat a mighty foe. Although Luna and I once wielded the elements, it is you who now control their power, and it is you who must defeat Discord!"

Wow...that was quite a mouthful, I guess the mares are used to that kind of thing, I thought to myself.

The girls looked at each other, worriedly, for a moment. However, Twilight formed a bold look as she responded to Princess Celestia. "Princess Celestia, you can count on—

"Hold on a second!" Pinkie Pie cut off Twilight once again, raising her hoof up in the air. "Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain, you guys. Chocolate rain!"

Twilight looked over to Princess Celestia and smiled. "Don't listen to her, Princess. We'd be honoured to use the Elements of Harmony again."

Princess Celestia nodded and turned around to the door. She lowered her head and inserted her horn in the lock of the door, releasing magic and unlocking the door. The door released a bright light blue glow and opened, revealing a decorative chest which presented gems as well.

"Ooh." Rarity gazed in awe. "You can keep the Elements. I'll take that case!"

I shook my head at Rarity's desire for the case.

"Have no fear, ponies." Princess Celestia said to us "I have total confidence that you will be able to defeat Discord…" she moved the chest towards us and opened it. "…with these!"

There was nothing in the chest, causing the girls, even me, to gasp. Princess Celestia suddenly dropped the case in shock as she flinched back in horror.

"Oh well, if anypony needs me, I'll be outside in the chocolate pedals with a giant swivel straw!" Pinkie said.

"Oooh, can I join in? I wanna taste the chocolate rain." I asked her.

"Pinkie, Bond, this is serious business!" Twilight exclaimed.

"Hold your rifle, sniper class. The elements disappearing just doesn't make sense, that's all."

Suddenly we heard a deep and evil laugh echoing through the halls. "Make sense, oh what fun is there in making sense?"

"Discord! Show yourself" Celestia yelled.

But he replied back with more laughter as well looked all around to see where it was coming from.

"Did you miss me Celestia?" he asked before showing himself as a moving draconequus on one of the glass windows. "I missed you." he then slithered to another glass window. "It's quite lonely being imprisoned in stone but you wouldn't know that would you cause I don't turn ponies into stone."

"Enough, what have you done with the Elements Of harmony?"

"Oh I just borrowed them for a teensy little while." he then clicked his fingers and the elements of harmony on the glass window disappeared.

"You'll never get away with this, Discord."

"Oh I've forgotten how grim you could be, Celestia, it's really quite boring."

"Hey, nopony insults the Princess!" Dash yelled as she zoomed towards him, only to crash into the window which to my surprise didn't break for some reason.

Discord appeared again but slightly bigger, "Oh, you must be Rainbow Dash, famed for her loyalty. The element of harmony you represent?"

"That's right, I'll always be loyal to the princess."

"We'll see about that."

"I can't believe we're waiting our time, talking to a tacky window." Rarity commented.

"The beautiful Rarity, representing the element of generosity if I'm not mistaken."

"So ya know who we are, big deal." Applejack replied.

"Oh I know much more than that, honest Applejack."

"You seem to know our strengths too." Twilight added.

"Yes, Twilight Sparkle and yours is the most powerful and elusive element, magic. Fluttershy's is kindness and Pinkie Pie's is a favourite of mine, laughter."

We turned to see Pinkie about to laugh.

"Pinkie!" Twilight called to her.

"Ha ha ha ha! He's standing on your head!" Pinkie exclaimed as we looked back to see Discord dancing above Twilight's head in the glass window.

I realized that he forgot about me, but that was a good thing, I didn't want to be made fun of.

"Stop stalling Discord!" Celestia yelled "What have you done with the elements of harmony?"

"Oh so boring Celestia, really? Fine! I'll tell you but I'll only tell you my way."

He then began to slither through all the glass windows. "Retrieve your missing elements just makes sense of this change of events. Twists and turns are my master plan, then find the elements back where you began." he then laughed once more before turning back into the still image of himself and his voice disappearing.

"Can we go home now?" Fluttershy asked.

"What do ya reckon he meant?" Applejack asked also. "Twists and turns and right back where we started?"

"Twists and turns...twists and turns...twists and turns, that's it!" Twilight said. "I bet Discord has hidden our elements in the palace labyrinth.

"Good luck my little ponies." Celestia wished us, "The fate of Equestria is in your hooves."

"Thanks princess, we won't let you down." Twilight replied.

We all bowed quickly, before we galloped out of the halls and out of the castle...we continued on out of Canterlot and through the fields before we finally reached the maze.

"So this is the palace labyrinth? I hope David Bowie doesn't live here anymore." I said out of the blue.

"Who?" Twilight asked in confusion.

"Never mind, forget what I said."

"We have to go in there?" Fluttershy asked who was very scared about it.

"Nope, dopey Discord forgot about these babies." Dash answered as she flew upwards. "I'll just do a quick fly over and we'll find the elements in no time."

Suddenly, her wings disappeared and she fell down.

"My wings!" Dash yelled.

Then Fluttershy's wings disappeared and soon Rarity's and Twilight's horns disappeared too.

For some reason, my wings and horn didn't...I was confused on why mine are still there.

Suddenly, Discord himself appeared, "You–You should see the looks on your faces. Priceless!" He laughed once again, a lot less terrifying now.

"Give us our wings and horns back!" Twilight demanded.

"You'll get them back in good time. I simply took them to ensure there's no cheating. You see, this is the first rule of our game: no flying, and no magic." He explained as he slid around us, ensuring we understood clearly.

"The first rule?" Rainbow Dash asked, a little confused.

"The second rule is everypony has to play or the game is over, and I win. Good luck, everypony!" He laughed once more and vanished.

"Never fear, ponies. We have each other!" Twilight assured us.

"Yeah! Like Twilight said, there's nothing we can't overcome if we all stick together!" Dash agreed.

We then entered into the maze and I was in the middle.

Suddenly, walls of shrubs appeared to Twilight's right and immediately began separating each of us in the labyrinth, causing the girls to scream.

"Stay calm!" Twilight exclaimed. "Everypony head to the middle as fast as you can, and we'll regroup there!"

Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie responded to Twilight's command.

"Moving out!"

"See you in the center."

"Yee-haw!"

"See you guys there!"

However, I could hear Fluttershy panicking on the other side of the wall. "What's that? Who's there? GIRLS!"

"Fluttershy, don't panic, this is another moment where you need to be brave." I assured her. "Just like the time you stood up to that dragon, you can do that again, just find your way to the centre as fast as you can like Twilight said. Don't stop for anything."

"Okay, I'll move on quickly."

"Good, now go."

I heard her gallop on...as for me, I was temped to fly and use magic, but that would've ended the game suddenly. Discord obviously must've kept them on me just to find out if I would give into the temptation of using either one. I didn't wish to though, after all, he doesn't know that I have the element of Faith on my side which he failed to point out.

I began to gallop through the maze and using my instincts, I tried to avoid going to a dead end. I then found myself at what looked like the centre of the maze already. I was the first one to arrive though, I didn't see anypony else...suddenly I saw a bright light and Discord appeared again.

"Well, who might you be?" he asked.

"Bond Racer, the seventh element you failed to mention which none of the girls were able to point out?" I replied.

"Oh wait...did I forget you? Probably because I don't have much faith in you." he then laughed.

"Not a bad joke there. But why do I still have my wings and my horn?"

"Because I think with you by my side, we can rule all of Equestria together."

"Really? That sounds tempting and even better I might add."

"Then in which case, I must ask you. What element do you represent?"

"The element of Faith."

"Hmm and do you really have faith in those six other ponies?"

Now here, I could've answered honestly but then I feared that he would try and curse me with something, so I had to be smarter and to try and beat him at his own game when the time is right.

"No...I don't and it seems that now that I think about it, I never had total faith in them." I answered.

"Well isn't that a shame? Maybe you could put that faith to better use, like having faith in me."

"You know what, you are right. I'll gladly put faith in you and just to prove that I'm not bluffing, I'll help you nominate Rainbow Dash as the mare who breaks the rules of the game."

"Oooh, now that is wonderful and all the while, it'll give us more chances of causing chaos. Welcome to the team, Bond Racer."

"Thank you indeed..." I paused as I heard several hoofsteps, "I can hear a few ponies coming, leave it to me."

"In that case, I'll follow your idea and find Rainbow Dash and offer her the wings back....don't let me down." Discord then disappeared.

I breathed a sigh of relief...I turned around to see that Twilight and a few others had met up.

"Bond Racer, good to see you here." Twilight said whilst trying to carry a rock.

"Uhhh, Twilight? Why are you carrying a rock?"

"This big old rock is a diamond!" Rarity answered and she was looking a little grey-ish.

"What's with the grey colours?"

"I don't know why, maybe Discord tricked them or something."

"Well looky there, Rainbow Dash is flying away. She's abandoning us!" Applejack pointed out.

"Now I know that's a lie." Twilight answered before looking up.

There was Dash indeed flying away with her wings, guess the game is just about over.

"How can it be?" Twilight gasped.

Suddenly the ground began to shake and all the maze hedges fell through to the ground...and now the area was like a crater.

"Well, well, well, somepony broke the no wings, no magic rule." Discord stated as he clicked his fingers.

Fluttershy got her wings back and Rarity and Twilight got their horns back.

"You know the funny thing about it all, is that I didn't think of the bribery idea myself. I had help along the way."

"Huh? How could anypony help you?"

I then walked up to Discord and stood beside him, whilst the others were busy looking at him.

"Don't believe me...let's say that I needed faith and support in my work of bringing chaos to the world, so I need an alicorn to join my side...isn't that right, Bond Racer?"

"Definitely, I told you our plan would work." I added.

Then they noticed me beside him and I was smiling with a smug look.

"WHAT?!" Twilight shouted, "Bond...Racer...how...could...you?" she asked quietly.

"Game's over my little ponies. You didn't find your precious elements." He then pulled out an umbrella, "It looks like we might be due for a big old storm of chaos." he added and laughed evilly.

Looking at him and seeing the ponies, I then wondered to myself. Considering how I showed off my act of betrayal, what have I done?
