“What do you mean you can’t wield the Elements?” Meadow Bliss asks, slightly confused.

“We mean we can’t wield the Elements without Twilight.” Fluttershy explains to her son.

“Well, this is just great.” Mutters Prism.

“But we think you guys are able to save Twilight.” Rainbow Dash said.

“How are we supposed to do that exactly? We don’t even know how the Element’s are suppose to work properly.” Ophelia said, gazing at her mother’s element that was around Rarity’s neck.

The girls and Spike, took off the Elements and hands them over to the children. “We will try to buy ya’ll some time take these here Elements and go to a save room. We will try to hold whatever threat we can off.” Applejack said, handing HoneyCrisp her element.

The others handed each of the children their respective element. All except one; Harmonia.

“Where’s Harmonia?” Spike asks, surveying the destruction around them.

“We don’t know.” Cotton Berry said, slightly worried.

“Well if you happen to run into her, give her this.” Spike said, handing her Twilight’s element.

Prism grabs the element from Spike, leading the others to a save room.

Tempest and Harmonia walk the empty hallways of the castle. Explosions could still be heard from throughout the castle.

“Do you know which room she could be in?” Harmonia asks her royal guard.

“No clue, but let's keep looking.” Tempest said.

They both come across a door that is slightly ajar.

“Maybe she's in that room?” Harmonia suggested.

Tempest pushes the door open and notice that Harmonia was right.

“Aunt Starlight?” Harmonia mutters, tears pricked at the corners of eyes.

“She's still breathing.” Tempest mutters beside her.

Starlight's eyes slowly opened. “Harmonia?” Starlight questions, looking at the young draconequus.

Harmonia smiles softly at her aunt, giving her a hug. “You have to listen to me,” Starlight said, her voice becoming serious.“The Twilight that we all know and love is not your mother. It's Queen Chrysalis.”

Harmonia walks through the hallways, conflicted, confused and scared. “I really need some time to myself.” The young draconequus thought to herself. Without thinking, she teleports herself outside of the castle.

Luna looks out the castle window, curiosity struck her. “Where is that filly going off to?” Luna thought to herself.

Harmonia made it to the edge of the woods of the Everfree Forest. “Ugh! I can't do this! I can’t do any of this! I'm no princess. Maybe my sister is better off being a better ruler than me…. I mean she is next in line after all...” Harmonia mutters to herself, her ears flattened.

A small blue beam whizzed past the young princess. Harmonia was startled, she turned to she who could have fired that shot. “Have I got your attention?” Said a voice from behind her.

It was no other than Princess Luna.

“Princess Luna!” Harmonia asks, surprised by her visitor.

Luna walks over to her.“What are you doing out here young one?” Luna asks, her tone curious.

Harmonia sighs, her ears flattened. “I'm just doing some thinking…” she muttered to the Princess.

“Is that all?” Luna asks.

“No, my friends and family are in grave danger, you know this. But I don't know how you could help. Unless you know a spell or two that could stop my mom once and for all and save all of Equestria.” Harmonia mutters.

Luna waves a hoof, dismissing the young draconequus request. You don't need a magic spell or even my magic to save Equestria.” She explains.

“What you're looking for definitely can not be found out or even by magic. You are searching what you need in the wrong place. What you need can only be found within you.” Luna explains.

“And that is?” Harmonia asks, slightly concerned and curious.

Luna puts a hoof on Harmonia chest, smiling softly at her. “Have faith in your abilities and your friends.” she said, her tone going soft.

“That's just it! I just now started to be crowned Princess- or was before the event got crashed. How am I supposed to save Equestria? When I don't even know how to work the Elements of Harmony?” Harmonia asks, the feeling of doubt laced her voice.

"Besides I don't even have what it takes to become a good ruler, so what makes this situation any different?" Harmonia asks.

“You can rant all you want about your doubts and feel sorry for yourself. We all have them, but you also have the power to wipe those doubts away.If you have faith in yourself and what you can do then you will save Equestria.” Luna explains.

Harmonia smiles to herself. “You can save Equestria, everypony else, even your mother and you know it!” Luna said, encouraging her.

Harmonia smile brights even more, one of confidence. “So what are you waiting for? Go save Equestria!” Luna said.

“You're right Princess!” Harmonia said, her tone confident.

"Thank you, Aunt Luna." Harmonia mutters to the alicorn. Luna softly smiles back to her in return.

Harmonia races though the damaged hallways, looking for her friends.

Prism and the rest of the children were coming from the opposite direction, racing toward Harmonia.

“Prism?” Harmonia asks, skidding to a stop.

“Harmonia! Thank Celestia we found you!” Prism said, surprised to find his friend. His tone relieved.

“Here.” The pegasus hands Harmonia, an Element of Harmony.

The Element of Magic, her mother's element.

Harmonia looks down at the crown, before looking back up at Prism and the others.

“But-” Harmonia said, about to explain, but HoneyCrisp cuts her off.

“No time for chit chat. Let's go.” HoneyCrisp said.

Harmonia sighs and follows the group anyways.

Prism opens a door, ushering the group inside. “We should be safe in here.” He mutters.

He then looks back to the group. “How are these elements suppose to work anyways?” Cotton Berry said, looking down at his mother's element.

“I'm not sure, but guys there something I have to tell you. We also have another threat roaming around the castle and it's Queen Chrysalis.” Harmonia said, looking at the group.

The others gasped, except Confetti Pop. “Sis? How come you aren't surprised by this?” Cotton Berry asks his sister.

“Let's just say I been a knowing.” Confetti Pop said, her tone nonchalant.

“Seriously?!” Ophelia said, her tone rather unamused.

“What? The author wanted to add drama to the series.” Confetti Pop said.

“Well, I think she added enough.” Harmonia mutters.

Confetti sticks her tongue out playfully. “Well now since we have two major problems to deal with I think we need to come up with a different plan.” HoneyCrisp said.

“How about we free Harmonia's dad first? Maybe he will know how to deal with Aunt Twilight.” Meadow Bliss said.

“And you see how that worked out. She turned him to stone!” Ophelia said, her tone rather dramatic.

“Okay new plan. We can go free my dad, then we can save my mom, after that we go find Queen Chrysalis.” Harmonia said, hatching her own plan.

“Great idea, Harmonia. Okay let's go!” Prism said, standing up from his position and leaving the room.

Harmonia blushed at the comment as she follows behind the others.

HoneyCrisp leads the group down the hallway, they each peer their heads around the corner to make sure the coast was clear. “Okay, all clear.” HoneyCrisp whispers.

They each made their way over to Discord's statue, eyeing her father's statue sent chills down her spine. How could her mother do something like this?

She knew that he never wanted to be revert back to stone, but here he was a thousand years later, this time by her own mother.

Harmonia sighs. “Okay, let's do this.” Harmonia mutters.

The children gather in a crescent circle around Discord's statue.

They closed their eyes, all focusing on Discord's statue.

Thirty minutes passed, nothing happened. “Isn't there supposed to be rainbows and super cool lasers that happen?” Prism asks, looking around.

“Yes, but I don't understand?” Harmonia said, equally confused.

Harmonia shook the feeling of doubt away. “Come on, we have to try again.” Harmonia said, her tone rather pleading and determined.

Harmonia tried once again, this time their focus fully on the statue.

“Come on, just one spark.” Harmonia thought to herself.

Just then, a small spark comes from the the small group of children.

That small spark created a rainbow, one full of hope, love, light and most important of all: Friendship.

There was an explosion of bright white light, which threw the children backwards. They finally regained conscious. “Did it work?” HoneyCrisp asks.

“Ugh! My head.” Mutters Discord.

“Uncle Discord! You're okay!” Beams Confetti Pop, her voice rather cheerful.

“What happened?” He asks.

“Dad? Daddy!” Harmonia squeals, she throws herself at him, wrapping her claw and paw around him.

Tears aligned her eyes. “I've missed you.” She softly whispers.

Discord was taken aback by his daughters comments and hugs her in response.

“Uh guys? Not to ruin the heartwarming moment, but we've still got to save Aunt Twilight and stop Queen Chrysalis.” Cotton Berry said.

“Wait? When did Bug Queen even get here?” Discord asks, confused.

“Long story.” Ophelia mutters.

“Right. Now we have to save mom before-” Harmonia said, but Meadow Bliss cuts her off.

“Guys? Why do the Elements look… dull?” Meadow Bliss, asks.

The rest of the children look down at their element. Meadow Bliss was right, they were dull even to go as far as say: lifeless.

“What? I don't understand.” Harmonia mumbles. She looks back up at her friends, their expressions went from worried to fearful in five seconds flat.

Discord, on the other hand, has a look of anguish scrawled on his face. His eyes glowing, as he growls at the mare.

“She's right behind me, isn't she?” Harmonia said, her tone unamused.

Harmonia turns around to come face to face with her mother, who just smirks at her.

“I'll be taking these.” Twilight says, her tone sickly sweet. She grabs ahold of the elements in her aura.

She then laughs, wickedly. “Oh, you naive child. Do you not know what happens when you encounter dark magic with the Elements of Harmony?” she asks, still holding them in her aura.

Harmonia furrowed her eyebrows, thinking, but came up with nothing. “You seriously don't know?” she gawks.

“Well I'm 99.9% sure you didn't teach me that.” Harmonia huffs.

“Fine! I'll give you the answer: they become dull and lifeless.” She snaps.

“And since they are not of use anymore,” Twilight smirks.

She throws the Elements of Harmony in the air, cackling she then raises her front hooves and smashes the Elements.

“No!” Harmonia cries out.

They gawked at what just happened.

“But, the Elements-” Ophelia mutters.

“What? You thought they were unbreakable even after they got turned to precious jewelry?” Twilight asks, her tone venomous.

The children said nothing, just gazes down at the elements.

“Looks like you won't be saving anypony else today.” Twilight sneers before walking off.

Prism looks to his friends. “Well, so much for welding those Elements.” He said.

Discord looks at from the broken Elements, to his daughter and her friends, to his ex-wife, who was cackling hysterical. Proud of her success and that she finally won.

So she thought.

Discord eyes started to glow red, as he growls ready to pounce on Twilight.

Before he knew it, he pins her to the ground. “You really think you won?” Discord asks, his tone low and threatening.

Twilight then smirks at him, a look so sick and twisted that it could give somepony the nightmares. She then blasts Discord off of her, but he went back to attacking her once again.

Harmonia and her friends looked at each other, eyes widen before looking back at the scene before them.

Discord and Twilight both blasted magic at each other, Discord dodging Twilight's attacks as he fires back at her. “You really think you can stop me?” Twilight sneers, firing dark magic at Discord.

The two kept pinning each other down, all the way to the throne room.

Harmonia and the gain follows the duo into the throne room, but quickly comes to a stop.

Shadow creatures.

“Does these guys ever give it a rest?” Prism groans.

Confetti Pop sighs. “Time to pull out the party canon.” She said, her tone unamused.

“Sis. You love your party canon.” Cotton Berry said, blasts one of the shadow creatures.

“You're right, I do! It's just I am getting real tired and annoyed with fighting this creatures.” Confetti Pop said, pulling the string to her canon as confetti blasts the shadow into evaporating smoke.

“You're not the only one, darling.” Ophelia said, blasting two of the shadows with her horn.

Her back was against Harmonia, who was continuing to blast three more. “We have to get to the throne room.” Harmonia said, firing her magic at the shadow creatures.

“But how? These goons are blocking our path and we’re outnumbered.” Meadow Bliss said.

Suddenly a beam of greyish violet magic, shot through one of the shadows.

“Go! We will handle it from here.” Trixie said.

“Miss. Trixie?!” HoneyCrisp said, slightly shocked that a regular unicorn could do something like that.

“Go now!” Starlight said, blasting a shadow creature from behind Trixie.

They then race after Twilight.

Twilight blasts Discord, sending him into Celestia's throne, which was cracking bit by bit. “Tia is going to need a new throne after this.” Discord mutters to himself.

“She's going to need a new husband to once I'm done with you!” Twilight shouts, firing a blast at Discord.

He ducks and lunges after Twilight, but Twilight quickly grabs him in her dark aura. “You're not winning that easily.” Sneers Twilight.

Harmonia and the others got to the throne room, surveying the massive damaged. From dents to cracks and broken glass, the throne room was a massive wreck. “Looks like Princess Celestia and Luna are going to need a new throne room after this.” Mutters Confetti Pop.

“Look!” Meadow Bliss said, pointing his hoof in the direction of Aunt Twilight and Discord.

Harmonia and the others watched in fear as Twilight drains Discord, leaving him almost powerless.

“Mom! Don't!” Harmonia screams, without thought she lungs herself at her mother, knocking Twilight to the ground.

Twilight aura releases Discord from her grip.

She looks back at her daughter. A sicking look was in her eyes. “Oh you are going to pay for ruining my plans.” Twilight sneers at her own daughter.

Twilight ignites her horn, dark magic seeping through her horn. She fires a blast at Harmonia, but Harmonia dodges it with her shield.

Harmonia fires a beam at her mother. “You know you should really work on your aim!” Twilight sneers, firing a blast.

Harmonia, then holds, up another shield, but time her shield was fizzling, slowly evaporating. “What the?” Harmonia said, confused why her spell was backfiring.

Twilight laughs, at her daughter's failed attempt to protect herself.

Trixie, Illusion, Mystic, Tempest, Starlight, the Mane 5, the Princesses’ and Shining all gather into the damaged throne room.

“Twilight,” mutters Celestia, sad to see what her former student and friend has become.

Twilight looks at the group. A satisfied, but twisted smirk played on her lips. “You really are a bunch of fools! Thinking you could stop me,” she sneers giving a sarcastic laughter. “Well you are sadly mistaken.” She sneers.

“Just so you know know you ponies have a new ruler you will obey and respect now!” Twilight's eyes narrowed.

A light cough could be heard from behind Twilight. “Make that two new rulers.” Sombra said, his tone nonchalant as he walks up beside Twilight.

A deathly glare made by both Twilight and Sombra sent chills down everypony’s spines.

They were truly done for.
