The Origins of Harmony

"Princess Celestia! We came as fast as we could."
"Thank you, Twilight. Thank you all."
"Is this about the weather? And the animals' weird behavior? What's happening out there? Why isn't my magic working?? Is there--?"




"Follow me."


"I've called you here for a matter of great importance. It seems an old foe of mine--someone I thought I had defeated long ago--has returned. His name... is Discord."


"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."
"Awwright, Princess!"
"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'?"


"This is Canterlot Tower, where the Elements are kept inside since all of you recovered them. 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! We're famous!"


"You six 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."
"Princess Celestia, you can count on--"


"HOLD ON A SECOND! Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain, you guys. CHOCOLATE. RAIN."


"Don't listen to her, Princess. We'd be honored to use the Elements of Harmony again."

"You can keep the Elements. I'll take that case!"
"Have no fear, ponies. I have total confidence that you will be able to defeat Discord... with these."
