The Return to Darkness
Chapter 5
Search for the Elements

Comet’s POV
Canterlot

What the hell happened to the elements? Only aunt Celestia can access this vault as she was saying so right now. I mean Discord couldn’t have gotten in, it’s just impossible. At that I would hear the sound of laughter, it was rather evil and I don’t mean that really cliché one you always hear. Looking up at the mural of discord in the stain glass windows, I would gasp as I saw it. It was moving!

Discord: “Now I wonder where those darn elements have gone? They just love disappearing don’t they?”

I would growl a bit under my breath. So this was Discord? I certainly didn’t think much of him.

“Where the hell did you put the elements monster?”

Discord: “Oh dear prince please, you wound me. Go to the edge of Ponyville and search there, I will meet you all there soon enough”

And with that he was gone; Celestia would approach the rest of us, looking at us with a grim look.

Celestia: “Dearest nephew and dear ponies, you must find the elements if we are to have any chance of defeating Discord”

“And just when i was looking forward to it being a quiet day, oh well we will just have to suck it up and get it over with girls.
Let’s go save Equestria again!”

The others would all cheer as we run off, heading into a chariot to fly to our destination.

Edge of Ponyville
2 Hours Later

It sure took a while getting here, as we looked around, we would see that Discord would have changed lots of areas by now. Looking up at the sky I saw storm clouds and a flash of lighting finally revealed Discord to us.

“Wow and I thought Blueblood looked dumb, this guy takes the cake!”

The girls would laugh at this while Discord glares at me.

Discord: “I propose a game; you will have to find the elements. If you do, you can use them on me and put me into stone.

But if you fail or break any of the rules I will set, then i will continue doing what I am doing and create more splendid chaos”

“Let me guess, we play hopscotch”

The girls laugh at this and discord growls a bit in anger

Discord: “You must head to the center of the maze, there you will find the elements”

Rainbow: “Easy, I’ll just fly over the hedges to the center”

As Rainbow tries to fly over, Discord would take away her wings. I would quickly catch her on my back
Discord: “Ah ah ah, naughty. You must hear the rules first. Rule one is, no wings or magic so off with them”
He would click his fingers, mine and Fluttershy’s wings disappearing as well as mine, Twilight and Rarity’s horns

“Hmm simple enough”

Discord: “If any of you break these rules, I win”

“Whatever Dissy, let’s go girls”

They nod and follow me; I would chuckle as I heard Discord saying something about hating me. But as we walk inside, we

get separated by the hedge walls, Discord laughing.
Discord: “Oh and you will be separated from each other to make it more interesting”

I would sigh a bit and start walking ahead, hoping that the girls would be ok.

Meanwhile
Applejack’s POV

Now ah know that ah have been in stranger situations than this but ah have to say that this is really weird. Ah would find myself near a lake with apple trees nearby, reminding me that the acres were at risk. Then something strange happened, the apples would come alive and circle around with Discord’s face on them.

Discord: “Well hello Applejack, do you want to see the future? All you have to do is look into the lake.”

Ah would do just that, looking it there ah would gasp as what ah saw was terrible. The seven of us splitting up, no longer being friends anymore. Ah couldn’t take it, it just can’t be true, it just can’t!

Meanwhile
Pinkie’s POV

Weee this is going to be so much fun! I would bounce along until I found a clearing, with a party! Woohoo I can’t belive it. I would giggle as I look around, some ballons floating around with Discord’s face on them.

Discord: “Are you having fun Pinkie Pie? This party is all for you”

“Aww thanks I love it”

Discord: “You mean like how your friends don’t love you? Like how they laugh at you?”

“Huh? They don’t laugh at me silly”

Discord: “Oh yes they do, they hate you and laugh at you because of your childish ways”

At that I would see balloons with all my friends faces on them, all laughing at me, I can’t stand this, I just can’t please stop laughing at me!

Meanwhile
Rainbow’s POV

Ok time to get down to business. I don’t need to use my wings to get around, good ol fashioned marepower will handle this! I would soon reach a clearing with Discord lying on a hammock made of clouds.

Discord: “Oh here is the wingless chicken now. You know without those wings, you can’t impress them right?”

“Impress who? There isn’t anypony to impress right now”

Discord: “Why the wonderbolts of course, as well as that certain stallion that you have a crush on”

At that I would blush and glare at him

“I-I don’t know what you’re on about Discord.”

Discord: “I know you want your wings again rainbow, so just take them”

At that he would open up a box, revealing my wings. They were right there just waiting for me to take them. Should I or shouldn’t I take them?

Meanwhile
Fluttershy’s POV

I really hope that the girls and Comet are ok. Soon I reach a clearing with lots of trees in it, butterflies flying around with Discord’s face on them

Discord: “Hello Fluttershy, why are you bothering to help your friends. They laugh at you and call you clumsy”

“Oh I know I am clumsy and I don’t mind that they laugh at me”

Discord: “Um well they think that you are a real pushover”

“Well I am a pushover, so that’s ok”

Discord: “Well…um….. ah screw this”

He would put his paw on my head and do something to me

Meanwhile
Rarity’s POV

My word, this place could use some decorating indeed. Its absolutely filthy! As I walked through the maze, I would suddenly smack into a rock with three diamonds in it. Discord would appear and laugh a bit

Discord: “Nice work, you found the most beautiful gem in all of equestrian. Do you love it?”

I would gasp and drool a bit, it was absolutely beautiful

“I love it!”

Meanwhile
Comet’s POV

Pretty soon I had reached the centre and my mom was there with her back to me

Luna: “You have failed us Comet, Discord took over while you were here”

“N-no, it can’t be, it just can’t”

Luna: “You have failed me Comet”

I would seem to lower my head, sounding like I was sobbing

Luna: “Crying won’t change anything”

I would then lift up my head, laughing uncontrollably, falling onto the ground

Luna: “What? Why are you laughing!?”

“Hoo boy, do you really think that will work on me Discord?

Luna would growl and turn to me, being my mom but with Discord’s face

“Holy! You look terrible, I never thought you’d sink so low to impersonate my mom bwahahahaha!”

Discord: “Curse you Rider! But you’re too late”

Twi: “Comet!”

Twilight would appear with the others, but they all looked paler. But Rainbow wasn’t with them, I hope she’s ok. As we looked at Discord I would glare at him

“Ok we got here, now where are the elements!?”

Discord: “Oh I’m afraid you won’t get them. You have lost”

He would point to the sky, Rainbow was flying!

Discord: “And now I shall bring eternal chaos to this land!”

He would start laughing and break the maze apart, the land around us changing to a chaotic version of itself. This was bad, the girls were corrupted, leaving me and Twi the only ones that were uncorrupted. Could this be the end?
Ok that’s it for now, I have finished chapter 8 but I wont post that till I finish the next two. Till then, peace out.
