Talk:Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2/@comment-10390252-20140405135932

Okay running it down: Whoever this villain may be must be a pretty serious threat that (a) only Discord appears able to handle him and (b) Celestia overcomes her misgivings to entrust the job to him. It's also possible that it won't be enough or...?

Discord has always had a Loki edge to him. I'm going to make a leap here and suggest that Celestia has walked into a trap. Nothing in Season 4 has happened entirely by chance. Discord has been playing chess with Celestia and is several moves in front. The 'villain' is just a mask he has been wearing so he can foment Chaos without making Celestia act against him. He even triggered off the Plunderseeds just to get the Elements out of the game.

With the Elements unusable because they're the only thing holding the Plunderseeds back, the only option is to transfer every Princess's power into Twilight, the only one who has outwitted and overpowered him before (remember, she was able to briefly cancel out his magic in Return of Harmony, Part 2). However, Discord is too powerful and no amount of regular magic can stop him, as Celestia and Luna's experience of him two thousand years previously proved.

Once again, it falls to the Power of Friendship to save the day. It falls to six innocuous-looking items and it falls to the contents of a certain chest, and the revelation of a power that will change Ponyville and its surroundings forever.

When all falls silent and Discord's statue falls lifelessly on its' side (to the accompaniment of Fluttershy's sobs, for she truly did like and trust the old monster), the three restored alicorns step forwards to meet the Chosen Six who have restored Harmony and rediscovered a power lost since ancient times.
