As the pony crowd cheered for Spike, Discord became very displeased with what was happening. He looked at Thunderhooves who became the new captain of the pony guards, and said "Thunderhooves!" "Sir?" Thunderhooves asked. "Seize the cathedral!" Discord said. In the bell tower, Spike turned back to his normal size, opened a door to a small room, went inside, and placed her in a bed as he said "Don't worry. You'll be safe here." He then ran out of the room, and lept down to the next floor. He then picked up a beam of wood with all his dragon strength, and threw it down at the advancing pony soldiers. It crash-landed on Discord's carriage, and the pony soldiers scurryed away like ants. "Come back, you cowards!" Discord said. He looked at the pony guards at AJ's cage, and said "You two! Pick up that beam! Break down the door!" Two pony guards obeyed as they went to over to the beam. Scootaloo tried to follow them, but AJ grabbed her, and said "Alone at last!" He knocked her out, and grabbed the keys. As the pony guards began battering the door with the beam of wood, AJ got out of his cage, stood on top of it, and said "Citizens of Equestria! Discord has persecuted our ponies, ransacked our land! Now he has declared war on the Canterlot Cathedral herself! Will we allow it?!"

"No!" The pony crowd said as they pushed against the pony soldiers, and freed Trixie, Apple Bloom, and the other earth ponies from their cages. The crowd then swarmed around the door as the pony soldiers continued their assult. "I think the cavalry's here!" Pinkie Pie said as she watched AJ jump from the cage he was trapped in. "Hey! Isn't that...BJ?" "Doofus!" Twilight Sparkle said. "AJ!" Spike said. AJ punched a pony soldier in the face, and his teeth fell out. Spike began dropping items on the pony soldiers to keep them from entering the cathedral. Rarity nervously dropped a brick on a pony soldier, and said "Sorry, sorry!" Pinkie Pie chewed on a rock, flew around like a plane, landed on the ledge, and spitted the pebbles out on the pony soldiers like a machine gun. Some of the pony soldiers were using the beam of wood to get the door open as Discord said "Harder!" A pony soldier tried to attack a unicorn pony who ducked, and he ended setting King Sombra free from the stockade. He smiled as he said "I'm free! I'm free!" Suddenly, he fell into a sewer hole, and he said "Dang it!" A grappling hook caught the edge, but Spike pulled on it, and three pony soldiers fell. Pinkie Pie and Rairty quickly built a catapult, and Rarity said "Ready...aim...fire!" They pushed the catapult off the bell tower, and it landed on the pony soldiers.

Rarity looked on in confusion as she said "Are you sure that's how it works?" The catapult suddenly sprung up, and crushes some more pony soldiers as Pinkie Pie said "Works for me!" AJ fought against Thunderhooves, and Apple Bloom went up to him, and kicked him. AJ looked at Derpy Hooves, and said "Derpy! Sit!" Derpy Hooves flew up, and landed on Thunderhooves who said "Get off of me!" "Never!" Derpy Hooves said. Twilight Sparkle then used her magic to command the parasprites as she said "Fly my pretties! Fly! Fly!" The parasprites attacked the pony soldiers, and they ran off. The other pony soldiers continued banging on the door as Discord said "Put your backs into it!" In the bell tower, Pinkie Pie and Rarity warmed up a fire on the lead pot as Spike attached a rope to it. He then tugged on the rope hard, and pot tipped over, releasing the liquid fire in the process, and it spilled onto the pony soldiers who scattered away. Discord crawled his way into the hole that was made by the beam of wood before the liquid fire could touch him. Fluttershy went up to him in anger as she said "Discord, have you gone mad?! I will not tolerate this assault on the house of Celestia!" "Slience, you fool!" Discord said as he poked Fluttershy on the head with the tip of his claw. Her eyes became a swirling color, and she became dizzy as she said "The dragon and I have unfinished buisness to attend to. And this time, you will not interfere! Arrivederci!" He then teleported to the top of the stairs, went through the door, closed, and locked it to keep Fluttershy from interfering with his plans.
