In the Garden[]
Cheerilee's class walking through the garden
"That one over there represents friendship"
The Cutie Mark Crusaders derp!
In to each friendship, some rain has got to fall.
Being led into the world-famous garden
"How cool would it be to have that for a cutie mark?"
The CMC being cute in confusion.
"Cool, if you were actually victoryful at somethin'."
"That's not a word!"
"What are you, a dictionary?"
"GIRLS!"
Discord has been found.
Cheerilee pointing to a statue that looks like Discord.
wow
Look how high I can jump!
Cheery Cheerilee is cheery.
This is Discord.
Listening to Cheerilee.
That's a small class.
"Confusion!"
"Evil!"
"Chaos!"
"It's not chaos, you dodo!"
"Don't call me things I don't know the meaning of, and it is too chaos!"
"Is not!"
Somepony is about to stomp on her friends.
That must have hurt since their heads were struck by Apple Bloom's hooves.
You're both wrong
Diamond Tiara make their first appearance in Season 2, so do Snips and Snails.
Super Smash Fillies Brawl
Discord is activating.......
"Actually, in a way, you're all right."
That was a sign of discord
Girls, do I have to deal with this?
Now if you're all done earning yourselves extra homework...
The Cutie Mark Crusaders being cute
The Cutie Mark Crusaders being cute and disappointed
Twist and Sliver Spoon find it funny, as well.
The Crusaders still arguing over what the statue represents.
It's starting to crack. Oh my this can't be...
...good...
Something's not right[]
Ponyville.
What was that?
Rainbow Dash getting ready to chase the unknown
Get back here!
"Eww, what is this?"
Lemme just taste a bit.
"Cotton candy?"
This is not the kind of weather I usually expect.
Oh no...
"It's not supposed to rain until tomorrow!"
A sticky Rainbow Dash
Applejack picking corn on her farm.
Come back here, you!
Rain falling with Applejack and Rainbow Dash.
My goodness!
Chocolate rain (ooh yummy)
popcorn
Rarity,comes to help her way.
Apples growing to great sizes.
Just eating this huge apple.
Fluttershy in the rain.
Angel, you really shouldn't...
Dali Bunnies!
Am I dreaming?
Bunnies have long legs???
"Don't worry everyone. I've learned a new spell that'll fix everything."
Twilight using her magic in the rain.
That looks like it took quite a bit of studying.
Well, that was a failure.
"My fail-safe spell... failed." Well it is a fail-safe spell.
"Uh, give up?"
"Spike, Twilight will come up with something."
It's time for Plan B!
Rainbow Dash gets the task of combining the clouds together
Almost got you...
Pinkie Pie having fun drinking the chocolate rain.
Fighting with the cotton candy cloud.
C'mere, you!
On goes the rope!
Pinkie Pie getting down and dirty.
Huh?
Ooh, I get it.
"Oh dear. I hope none of the animals see these delicious chocolate-filled cotton candy clouds."
I guess that's us!
Tying it all together.
"You and me both, sister!"
"Hey!"
"You see, Spike? You should never give up."
Spike firing up a letter from Princess Celestia.
We need you to come!
"Come on girls. Princess Celestia wants to see us all in Canterlot immediately!"
The Missing Elements[]
Princess Celestia!
We came as soon as we could!
The ponies arrive.
"Is this about the weather? And the animals' weird behavior? What's happening out there?"
Be silent. Follow me and I will explain.
"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."
Fluttershy looking at stained glass.
Image of Discord on the window.
Fluttershy is scared.
"Discord is the mischievious 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."
"Alright, 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."
I really need your help, girls.
"Hold on a second!"
"Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain, you guys. Chocolate rain!"
"Don't listen to her, Princess."
The Pony version of a palm scanner?
Unleash the Elements!
Don't go into the light!
Airlock activated.
It is revealed!
"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!"
Huh, an empty space in a box that can defeat Discord. That's new.
Uh oh.....
Well, this is awkward
Celestia's shocked face is priceless
As everypony watches Pinkie Pie trot off screen.
An empty box?!
"That chamber is protected by a powerful spell that only I can break! This doesn't make sense!"
"Make sense? Oh, what fun is there in making sense?"
Angry Celestia
A stained glass of Discord.
Discord in a stained glass window?
A very angry Celestia!
"Oh, I just borrowed them for a teensy little while."
"You'll never get away with this, Discord!"
"Oh, I'd forgotten how grim you can be, Celestia."
"It's really quite boring."
"Hey! Nopony insults the Princess!"
Flying straight for the stained glass..
..My face is stuck!
..You find that funny, do ya?
Rarity is so adorable!
Discord talking about Rarity and her Element.
"So you know who we are, big deal."
Discord, increasing in size.
Discord, talking about Twilight Sparkle.
He knows my Element?!
Must... not... laugh out loud...
Pinkie Pie laughs out loud, how ironic
Everyday I'm discordin.
"Stop stalling, Discord! What have you done with the Elements of Harmony?"
"Fine, I'll tell you, but I'll only tell you my way."
"Twist and turns are my master plan."
"Then find the elements back where you began."
Applejack comes, full of questions.
"That's it!"
He must be keeping the Elements of Harmony in that labyrinth.
"Good luck, my little ponies."
"The fate of Equestria is in your hooves."
Right. Oh, yeah, one more thing. I never knew you were ever gonna call us by the name of a kid's animated TV show.
Finding the Elements[]
Entrance to the presumed "Labyrinth"
Mane 6 in front of the maze entrance.
Scared Fluttershy, Brave Rainbow Dash
I can fly so very high!
There went those wings
Not anymore o.o
Rainbow Dash in midair with no wings.
"My wings!"
"Ahhhh!"
Unicorns can't be unicorns, without their horns...
...See, now they're Earth Ponies...
"Your horn!"
"My horn!"
"AHHHHHHHH!"
Entrance of Discord
Discord on all fours
"Muhahahahahahaha!!!"
Scared ponies.
Awwwh, you should see how cute you are when you're scared!
"Give us our wings and horns back!"
"You'll get them back in good time. I simply took them to ensure there's no cheating."
"You see, this is the first rule of our game."
"No flying..."
"And, no magic!"
Another shot of Rainbow Dash without wings
All the ponies have to play along
"The second rule is everypony has to play or the game is over, ..."
"...and I win."
"Good luck, everypony!"
Listening to Discord.
"Never fear girls. We have each other."
"Yeah! Like Twilight said, there's nothing we can't overcome if we all stick together!"
Sounds good to us.
And us too.
The gang is ready to enter the labyrinth.
"Together!"
Twilight and her friends caught off guard
They are all panic-stricken until Twilight tells them "Calm down!"
"Everypony head to the middle as fast as you can, and we'll regroup there!"
"Moving out!"
"See you in the center."
"Yee-haw!"
"See you guys there!"
"What was that? Who's there?"
"Giiiiirls!"
Frightened Fluttershy screaming. (Note: If you see the screen zoom out. You zoom in and see that Rarity has her horn.)
Dishonesty[]
Applejack in the labyrinth
Applejack sees something strange.
Huh, that's odd?
"What in tarnation."
Get back here, you!
Applejack running off into uncharted territory.
"Where am I?"
Ouch!
What is going on here?
Why are you apples circling me?
"All right then, I don't trust this place worth a hill of beans, ..."
"...but I've got a really bad feelin' about this feller Discord."
"What's gonna come of this mission we're on?"
"For the answers you seek, ..."
"...go ahead, take a peek."
The Six seems to be in a conversation
"I hope I never see you again!"
"Me too!"
"Fine!"
"Fine!"
"It's settled, then."
Main Six's friendship undone.
"No!"
"Our friendship? Over?!"
Discord playing his game
"It can't be true! It just can't!"
"That just can't be the truth."
"When all the truth does is make your heart ache, ..."
"...sometimes a lie is easier to take."
Applejack's hypnotized eyes.
Discord casts Golden Years Tarnished Black
Applejack to Liarjack.:"Ave' got no color change!"
Ah, there you are, Applejack!
Smiling and looking cute at the same time.
"I thought I heard voices over here."
"Who were you talking to?"
"I was talking to... uh... nopony!"
"Nopony whatsoever!"
Liarjack's bad poker face
What? I'm not lying..why would you say such a thing?
"Nothing. Come on, uh, we best be going."
What's up with Applejack?
"Come on, Twilight! Applejack wouldn't lie."
Anger[]
Meanwhile, Pinkie Pie...
What does Pinkie see?
Lots of balloons with lots of smiles. What more do you want?
"Whee! This is the greatest balloon garden I've ever seen!"
Whoa!
Poor Pinkie, covered in mud.
"Hey, what gives?"
"What's the matter, Pinkie Pie? I thought you appreciated a good laugh?"
"It's different. They're laughing at me."
"It's hardly different. Your friends laugh at you all the time."
Discord was beheaded!
"My friends laugh with me, not at me."
"Oh, really?"
We'll see about that!
"No! Stop it!"
Pinkie Pie freaked out by the balloons
Twilight's,Applejack's and Fluttershy's faces on the balloons.
Rarity's and Rainbow Dash's faces on the balloons.
Pinkie Pie getting laughed at by her balloon friends
Pinkie,covering her eyes.
Discord manipulating Pinkie.
Staring contest with a balloon.
Pinkie, being turned her opposite self.
Happy?
Pinkie Pie to Meanie Pie: "WHAT'S SO FUNNY ABOUT GREY, HUH?!"
"I don't think so!"
And then all balloons pop.
Ah, there you are, Pinkie!
"Oh you are, huh? Why? Need a good laugh?"
"Pinkie? What do you suppose has her so upset?"
"I didn't notice anything strange about Pinkie."
Yes, I'm telling the truth. I never lied.
"Better pick up the pace before the stress of this gets the better of all of us."
My plan is working great.
Greed[]
Pfft, screw gravity.
"I was expecting an audience with the Princess, not outdoor sports."
Ouch!
"OH MY!"
Aww! Look at her eyes!
It is time to get hypnotized.
Rarity is about to be corrupted.
Admit it, you make this same face in the Pony aisle
"Yes...I like very much."
"No!"
"No, I shan't succumb to such fabulousness."
"Must... get to the center..."
"...to meet... the others."
MUST... RESIST!
MINE!
Rarity to Avarity.
Only Rarity can mine diamonds with bare hooves and without an iron pickaxe.
"Well, Rarity. It took forever, ..."
"...but it was worth it."
"Who knew three little gemstones..."
"...would turn out to be this handsome hunk of a diamond?"
"Now to get you home!"
Rarity, there you are.
"Why are you carrying a humongous boulder?"
"What do you mean, "boulder"?"
"This big beautiful..."
"...bedazzling rock..."
"...is a diamond!
"Keep your envious little eyes off it! I found it and it's mine fair and square!"
Yeah, so you're seriously going to carry the boulder all the way to home?
The situation is getting worse and worse.
Cruelty[]
"I can do this."
So much for being brave.
Gasp! Butterflies!
Tail extensions? Pfft, I have Neck extensions
"Wait, don't leave me here."
Where are they?
"Fluttershy, looks like you've been left behind by your so-called friends, huh?"
"Oh, no. I'm certain they're doing their best to find me."
"Well, it must be so upsetting to know how weak and helpless they think you are."
"Not at all. I am weak and helpless and I appreciate their understanding."
"Yes... Well, surely it burns you up... I mean, that they're always pointing out your flaws, right?"
"Not really."
"In fact, I think I'm awfully lucky to have friends who want me to be the best I can be."
"Oh, for goodness sake."
Too bad you can't corrupt her without cheating, Discord...
"You've been kind for far too long, my dear."
"Time to be cruel."
"Arrivederci!"
Ah, Fluttershy, there you are.
Fluttershy turns into Fluttercruel.
"Fluttershy! I'm so glad to see a friendly face."
"This awful labyrinth is getting to every pony."
The Three Greys.
"Aw, boo-hoo-hoo."
"Why don't you wave your magic little horn and make everything all right?"
"Oh, that's right. You can't."
Fluttercruel's tail whip attack
Bumping Saboteur
Pinkie falls onto the ground, while Applejack laughs at her.
"And what are you laughing at?"
"Chocolate milk." Lying Skill Increased From -1 to 0.
"A little help here."
"Thanks, Twilight."
"You're welcome."
"But don't get any ideas about my gem! I know where you live."
Treachery[]

A rainbow thundercloud?
"I've got you now, element."
Get back here, you!
These are some nice clouds don't ya think Rainbow Dash?
I know karate!
"Hey, I'm here to deliver a message."
"I've got a message for you, too!"
"Listen closely. This is important."
"A weighty choice is yours to make."
"The right selection or a big mistake."
"If a wrong choice you choose to pursue, ..."
"...the foundations of home will crumble without you."
Grumpy Uncle Discord.
If only lightning bolts were colorful...
"Cloudsdale? Crumble... without me?"
I just don't know what went wrong.
"No!"
Is it Rainbow Dash's birthday?
"That box contains your wings. You can take them and leave the game, or you can carry on aimlessly wandering this maze. Your choice."
From Rainbow Dash to Traitor Dash.
Discord's Reign of Chaos[]
"Must... find... Rainbow Dash. As a team... we're unstoppable. Rainbow Dash won't let us down."
"Well, looky there. Rainbow Dash is flying away. She's abandonin' us."
"How can it be?"
What's going on?!
"Well, well, well. Somepony broke the "no wings, no magic" rule."
"Game's over, my little ponies. You didn't find your precious elements."
""Looks like we might be due for a big old storm of chaos!"
Discord's umbrella is as twisted as he is!
Game over!
