As an eruption so powerful, so unimaginably massive it shook the entire landscape that was The Castle of the Two Sisters, a mountain peak that rose higher than any other began to tremble, the entirety of its foundation crumbling down as the portal became unstable.
"Twilight, we have to act fast!" Applejack said. "The portal to Tartarus will open if we don't do anything!"
"Ok, here’s the plan," Twilight said. "Rainbow, Applejack, I need you and Discord to distract Tirek. Rarity and Fluttershy will help me with the portal, and Pinkie, I need you to deal with Cinch."
Just then, numerous rocks fell towards the castle from the absolute power of the portal destroying much of the structure. Flame and debris and stone shot outwards and in all directions as the fires from the Castle corroded the skyline, blurring out the sun and bringing forth Hell into Equestria.
"Go, now!" Twilight said, and the groups split up.
"Discord, if you have anything to use on Tirek, now would be a good time!" Rainbow said.
Discord chuckled. "Oh Rainbow Dash, when do I not have something up my sleeve?"
"You really think your parlor tricks will work on me discord?!" Tirek said. "I am the most powerful thing in Equestria right now. What makes you think your magic will do anything?"
Discord blurted out laughing. "How’s this for a parlor trick, Tirek?" He snapped his fingers, and suddenly a giant fist that looked just like Discord's lion paw was hovering above Tirek. Discord brought his hand down and the giant lion paw landed right on Tirek.
"Nice, but that won't hold him," Applejack said.
"AGH!" Tirek shouted as he pushed Discord’s paw out of the way, then Tirek shot an energy blast at Discord; Discord snapped his fingers and teleported just before the blast hit him. Tirek looked above him to see Discord floating in midair. Discord snapped his fingers again just as Tirek was about to shoot him with another blast.
"Not this time, Discord!" Tirek said, but before he could do anything he was trapped in a giant bubble. As he shot more blasts to try and break the bubble, Discord lifted up his hand and the bubble rose above him.
"That should keep him held for a few minutes," Discord said, "but my magic won’t hold him for long. Do you have any ideas?"
"I have one, but I need Tirek to be right below me when I do it," Rainbow said, "so you will have to keep him in one place."
"On it. Let's go, Applejack," Discord said.
"Be careful, sugarcube."
"I will."
The Portal
“Ok, when we get to the portal I need you and Fluttershy to disconnect the timer to the portal while I work on closing it," Twilight said to Rarity.
"On it Darling," Rarity said.
“Pinkie, you need to keep Cinch as far away from the portal as possible until we can close it.”
"Okie Dokie Lokie!"
As the group arrived at the portal Cinch stood at the front ready for all that they would bring her "I will not let you ruin my master's work, not over my dead body" Cinch said
"Oh, Ciiiiinch," Pinkie said, "Is this by any chance important?" Pinkie said holding what appeared to be a remote control
"You idiot, drop that before you get us all killed!" Cinch said
"Pinkie what did you grab?" Twilight said
"Oh, just a remote labeled Shadow Bot Army Controller," Pinkie said. "Why?"
As Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy stared blankly at Pinkie she gave an award smile "Weee! if you need me, I’ll be playing keep away with Cinch."
Pinkie then started to hop into the forest followed by cinch chasing her on foot.
"Come back here, you delinquent!"
"Well that just happened," Twilight said. "Come on, let's get to work on that portal!”
Tirek’s Throne
As Tirek broke free from the bubble, he was clearly angry.
"I should have killed you when I had the chance, Discord!"
"I get that a lot," Discord said, and picked up Applejack and held her in front of him.
“Discord, what are you doing?!”
“Just stay still,” Discord said. "Hay Tirek!"
"What?"
"Applecore!"
Then for some reason Tirek answered "Baltimare".
"Who’s your friend?"
"Me!" Tirek said pointing at himself then snapping out if the trance he realized what was about to happen. "No wait!"
"Sorry about this, Applejack." Then Discord pulled on Applejack’s tail and thousands of apples came flying out of her mouth and started to continuously hit Tirek.
"AGH!" Tirek said, putting his arms in front of his face.
As Discord put Applejack down she was clearly disoriented.
"Never...Do that again!" she said.
"Duly noted."
"Discord!" Tirek said, then launched himself at Discord.
"Not so fast," Discord said as Tirek hurtled towards him, then snapped his fingers and metal chains came shooting out of the ground, wrapping around Tirek’s arms and legs, pinning him to the ground.
"What is the meaning of this?" Tirek said.
“It’s called a distraction, sweetheart," Discord said, then pointed up at the sky, queuing Rainbow Dash.
"This is for Zap!" Rainbow yelled, then started to fly down at top speed. She could feel the pressure of the sky funneling in as the sky started to form a triangular shape around her, and she could feel her face getting pulled back at the shear pressure. Then, releasing all her energy, she put her hooves in front of her and a Sonic-Rainboom formed behind her and she hurdled right towards Tirek. She put her hoof back and punched Tirek’s right horn and knocked it clean off his head, sending him flying next to the portal.
"Yahoo!" Applejack said as Rainbow landed next to her.
"You did it, Rainbow!" Applejack said, hugging her wife.
"Enough hugging, we have to help Twilight with the portal!" Rainbow said, then she and Applejack ran towards the portal.
The Portal
"Twilight, we got the timer disconnected!" Fluttershy said.
"OK, now all I need to do is unplug the power source."
"Then what?" Rarity said.
"Theoretically the portal should collapse in on itself, dragging anyone with Tartarus-like abilities into it," Twilight said.
"Taking Cinch and Trek with," Rarity said.
"But what about Discord, won't he be taken in as well?" Fluttershy said.
"Yes, I would rather not spend the rest of my life getting tanned. I like my fur just the way it is, thank you," Discord said as he, Rainbow, and Applejack arrived at the portal.
"Discord I need you to go to Canterlot, it is the safest place for you and it is out of the portal’s range," Twilight said
"Ok, on it," Discord said, and turned to Fluttershy. "Be safe."
"I will," she replied, pecking a kiss on Discord’s muscle. Discord snapped his fingers, teleporting him away.
"Ok, where is the power source?" Applejack said.
"It should be right here," Twilight said, pointing to the Elements of Disharmony.
"Hay Giiirls!" Pinkie said, hopping into the group.
"Pinkie, where is Cinch?" Twilight said.
"Oh, I tossed the remote next to Tirek so she should be in a range of the portal."
"How do you...Nevermind, just stand back," Twilight said as she grabbed her Element from the portal. The portal made a sound and turned off for a second, then a loud boom blasted and started to suck the Castle’s debris into it.
"Noooo!" Tirek said, grabbing on to a stone pillar. "I will not go, it is my destiny!"
"Not anymore it ain’t!" Applejack said as she bucked Tirek’s hand, making him let go of the pillar and sucking him into the portal as Cinch followed him.
"I will come back!!" Cinch said as she too was sucked into the portal. Then the portal started to smoke up and make more sounds.
"The portal is going to implode, everypony get back!" Twilight said as she and the girls hid behind a stone pillar. With a large boom the portal exploded, and then everything was quiet.
"Did...did we win?" Fluttershy said.
"We won, yes!!" Rainbow said as the girls had a group hug.
"So, that's it, right?" Applejack said. "There are no more Villains we need to face off against?"
"Nope, and I wouldn't have it any other way," Twilight said.
