The Element of Kindness was set a task: to reform The Lord of Chaos. Obviously, she will succeed...right?
Of course not. When she and her friends attempted to end his reign of chaos, Discord grabbed Fluttershy and they were both turned to stone.
Without the Element of Kindness, Fluttershy cannot be set free by her friends.
But who ever said that that was the only way to undo the effects of the Elements of Harmony?
