Twilight stood there with Discord, having just left, and thought about where the weapons could really be before sighing in tiredness. "I just want to go home---"
Twilight felt it click in her head. "Back to where you began."
"I know where to go, girls, but first we need to fix Rarity and hunt down Rainbow." Twilight smiled while looking at Rarity and tried to use her magic to heal her but was rebounded by Discord's Magic. The girls looked at Twilight and thought about how to help Rarity before shrugging.
Pinkie quickly asked Twilight. "Where are they, Twilight?"
"They are currently in Ponyville." Twilight smiled while pulling the girls along. Twilight saw how slow Rarity was moving and decided to point something out. "Rarity, you do know you can use magic again, right?"
Rarity blinked before floating her diamond/boulder and taking off after her friends. "Wait for me, girls. I am coming."
---Ponyville---
As the girls marched into Ponyville realizing that there is only one place the weapons could be. Twilight stopped and looked around in thought and quickly asked her friends. "How do we fix Rarity, and how do we find Rainbow?"
Applejack and Pinkie looked at each other and thought of a way to fix Rarity. "We might have a way to fix Rarity."
Twilight looked at them, prompting them to make a statement. Pinkie smiled at her. "We entered into a relationship with Onyx in a herd."
Twilight and Fluttershy were shocked that their friends kept this a secret. Applejack nodded while looking at Rarity. "Onyx may be able to knock her out of the hypnosis."
"While we do this, you girls could hunt down Rainbow and see what needs to be done." Pinkie encourages the other two before they looked at Rarity. "Rarity, why don't we show Onyx your gem?"
Rarity broke into a massive smile, nodded her head in agreement, and quickly followed them, looking for Onyx. Twilight and Fluttershy looked at the trio and shook her head before moving off with Fluttershy.
---Ponyville General hospital---
Pinkie had arrived ahead of Applejack and Rarity when they figured out where Onyx was. "You are certain he will be fine, Emerald."
"It was a minor bump, all things considered." Emerald smiled while looking at Pinkie before seeing her hum in thought. "What is up?"
"Rarity is mine controlled to think a boulder is a gem, and we want to snap her out of it." Pinkie informed while looking at the unconcise Onyx in thought. "Could we make it look like he is really injured?"
Emerald blinked and thought about what Pinkie was asking him and what he knew about the boulder and nodded his head. "Of course, we can."
Pinkie smirked and looked at herself in the mirror and burst into tears; Emerald was perplexed. "Pinkie, what is wrong? what are you doing?"
Pinkie looked at Emerald teary-eyed. "Onyx is in a coma Emerald, how can I be fine?"
Emerald was confused before realizing that this was an act for her friends. He nodded before moving off and used his magic to make it looked Onyx was in worse condition. As Applejack and Rarity arrived at the hospital, they saw Pinkie sitting in the waiting room. Rarity was already looking lighter than before, less grey. "Pinkie is Onyx okay?!"
Pinkie looked up at her friend, teary-eyed. "He is in a coma Rarity, they do not know when he will wake up."
Rarity looked for someone with answers and saw Onyx's brother was there. "Emerald, there must be some more information that you can give us."
Emerald looked Rarity up and down, examining her greyness which is slowly flacking away before flickering his eye to the boulder that was supposed to be a gem. "If we had some more money, we would be able to do some much stronger tests."
Rarity saw where Emerald was looking and looked at her gem as well before nodding her head and floated it in between them, and her hypnosis went away. "Take it anything for my friends… Why am I carrying a boulder?"
Rarity looked at the rock she had been carrying around and started hyperventilating as she realized she did not have the money. Applejack had already realized that Onyx was probably fine. "Rarity, everything is a fine look at Pinkie."
Rarity quickly turned and looked at Pinkie and saw that she was leaning back, looking incredibly smug. "You tricked me? So, Onyx is fine?"
Pinkie nodded and held Rarity in her arms as she slowly cried in relief. "They are not 100 percent sure how he got injured, but from everything I have been told, he will be fine."
Applejack sighed in relief as well before looking at the two of them and looked at Emerald. "Would love to stay and chat, but we need to get over to Twilight and Fluttershy; they might be having trouble with Rainbow if she is here."
The girls nodded before taking off, leaving Emerald with a giant boulder in the middle of the hospital room. Emerald let out a sigh before using a little bit of magic and threw it out of the hospital.
---Same Time Hunting Rainbow---
As Twilight spotted Rainbow on a small cloud all by herself. "Rainbow, are you okay?"
"Oh, I am just fine Twilight, Cloudsdale is safe as long as I am here." Rainbow replied, confusing Twilight and Fluttershy before realizing that she is also mind-controlled like Rarity was.
Fluttershy smiled while flying up to Rainbow. "What will happen if you are not in Cloudsdale Rainbow?"
Rainbow nodded, seeing Fluttershy not trying to remove her. "The foundation will fall out from under it and collapses to the earth, destroying it."
Fluttershy nodded in agreement. "Who is going to destroy it?"
"Discord, of course." Rainbow said as if that should be obvious to Fluttershy.
"But we need you to defeat Discord, or else you will never be able to leave Cloudsdale and will not be able to join the Wonderbolts." Fluttershy reasoned with Rainbow slowly.
Rainbow was about to interrupt her before remembering she was loyal and one of the Elements. "But I cannot leave Cloudsdale Fluttershy."
Fluttershy nodded her head in agreement. "That is truly a real loyal friend would never leave something to be destroyed by the dastardly Discord."
Rainbow smiled before sitting up and trying to think about her options. The rest of the girls walked up to Twilight and asked her what was going on. Twilight was just happy that Rarity was back to normal before replying. "Rainbow thinks that is Cloudsdale and that if she leaves it, the foundation will be destroyed, and it will plummet to the earth."
Applejack nods while Rarity is just confused about how that little cloud that she cannot fit on is Cloudsdale. Pinkie looked up at her in thought. "Anyway, to talk her into bringing Cloudsdale with us."
"I do not think she is willing to bring it anywhere that will cause massive damage to 'Cloudsdale.'" Twilight explained, watching Fluttershy talk to her friend. "I have no idea how to do this next part; how did you cure Rarity?"
Pinkie smirked. "We made her give up the boulder to pay for something for someone else."
Twilight blinked before realizing that there was a way to get her to come with us. "Rainbow, how long will it take for Cloudsdale to be destroyed?"
"Based on all the Pegasus here right now, it would last 4 hours." Rainbow said while looking at the imaginary world around her.
Twilight smirked. "We could beat Discord way before the foundation breaks apart; after all, we know where the weapons are, and we have you the fastest pony in the world."
Rainbow thought about it and smiled and nodded her head in agreement before feeling the illusion snap away before moving over and tackling Twilight. "Where are the weapons and Discord?"
"Welcome back, Rainbow." Twilight smiled up at her friend in happiness.
Rainbow nodded back and saw her friends were there and was quickly pulled into a group hug.
---Ponyville library---
As Twilight led the girls inside, she was surprised to see Spike cowering inside. "Spike, find me the Guide to the Elements of Harmony."
Spike was surprised to see his friends before saluting and running inside for the book for Twilight. "Over here, Twilight."
As Twilight opened the book, the girls were shocked to see the crystallized weapons. Twilight smirked in pure winning. "I knew it!"
The girls looked at Twilight in confusion. Rarity was the one to ask. "How did you know?"
"Discords words could have meant many things, but this right here right now is the beginning of our journey as the Elements of Harmony." Twilight looked at the building and her friends smiling in happiness.
The girls beamed back and slowly took their elemental weapon into their hands, and smiled at Twilight. Rainbow looked just as proud as she did when she was gifted it the first time. "Let's do this, girls."
---Ethereal Realm---
Harmony smirked as she watched her Elements walk up towards Discord and Discord. 'It is over, Discord. My Elements have their weapons.'
Discord smirked back and giggled with Chaos in his tone. 'just because they have some fancy jewelry, you think they can defeat my best agent.'
---Center of Ponyville---
Discord lounged on his throne in pleasure at the various Chaos going on around him. "Oh, this is just perfect."
Discord blinked as he saw the girls marching up to him. "Oh, Round Two girls?"
Twilight quickly spoke. "Just because you hypnotized a few of us does not mean you have beaten us discord."
Discord noticed the jewelry on their necks. "So, you found the Elements of Harmony. Is that what is giving you hope in this fight."
Twilight and her friends smirked and started gathering the energy and mixing it together while looking at Discord. "These are not giving us hope, Discord but each other, the Magic of Friendship."
Discord down a cup of Chocolate milk and smirked back. "I will give you one free shot. After all, I expect nothing to happen."
The girls smirked back and quickly meshed in power; Discord was surprised and quickly realized that he might be in trouble before they exploded a Rainbow of power straight at him. Discord looked shocked and quickly tried to block it with Chaos before it ripped right through it. "Oh snap, this is bad."
As the girls felt the Harmonic wave explode and the energy left each other and landed back on the ground. They looked at the sitting Discord, who looked extremely shocked. Twilight let out an explosive sigh. "Glad that is over with."
---Canterlot---
As the girls escorted the Statue of Discord into the central chamber, they saw Princess Celestia standing and looking at a new stained-glass window showing the girls defeating Discord. Celestia smiled at them in happiness. "Welcome back, ladies."
"Well, met Princess Celestia." They quickly bowed to her and looked at the window containing their imagery.
"Tomorrow, there will be a parade in your honor, girls." Celestia looked at the new window in sadness.
"Why the sadness, my teacher?" Twilight questioned in worry.
"No real reason Twilight Sparkle." Celestia nodded and motioned for them to return the weapons and leave the room. They quickly bowed while leaving. Celestia looked at the stained glass containing her and Luna defeating Discord. "At least they will be remembered; I am truly sorry you five that you will never be spoken of."
---Ethereal Realm---
Discord and Harmony snickered on the roof of Canterlot, happy that the game was as good as it was. Harmony smiled. 'This was so fun, Discord.'
Discord nodded and looked at the Statue and saw it was much weaker compared to before. 'Your Harmony has infected him and weakened him greatly.'
Harmony nodded while looking at the Statue in thought. 'I will attempt to remove it without harming him while he is still a statue before he breaks back out.'
Discord smiled, happy that this binding is nowhere as strong. 'Next Game Harmony?'
Harmony smirked before dancing into the air, moving to a different location transforming into a different species. 'Shall we Discord?'
Discord smirked and turned into an inverted Discord. 'We shall.'
