The evil mare stood there and cackled.
All the guards, they did try to tackle.
Though they were three,
mortal they still be,
and so there wasn’t much of a battle.
In a wisp of smoke she disappeared,
to the cover of night she had veered.
Twilight Sparkle as well
in town hall did not dwell
all of which Rainbow Dash found weird.
First course of action, let Spike sleep in
right before messing up everything.
Her face then contorted
as she was confronted
by Rainbow who was accusing.
“Are you a spy or some other?”
Twilight did not answer, rather
four more had appeared
the air around her cleared
and with her they all gathered.
Through the magic that was Pinkie
the book was found in her esprit.
Twilight was confused,
and a bit bemused.
She just said, “It was under E!”
She then related the story
on the Elements of Harmony
Six elements in total:
The Kind, the Loyal
Honesty, Laughter, Generosity.
And most elusive of them all,
Magic, that only a spark could call.
All in the Everfree,
that which made them wary.
Kept hidden behind old castle walls.
She wanted to go in alone,
and finish it all on her own.
They gave her a look
then their heads shook.
Their tenacity made her groan.
They found themselves with a cliff to pass,
not long after, it began to collapse.
Twilight at the edge,
Applejack gave a pledge.
She let go and then heard gentle flaps.
The fall had given her quite a scare
but she was caught by pegasus mares.
They set her back down
and she looked around,
what she saw though just made her stare.
Charging towards was a manticore,
and as it came near it gave a loud roar.
But they did not run,
rather stood as one,
and promised to make it feel sore.
As they fought they were tossed and thrown
yet not once did they ever break bone.
Fluttershy though, noticed
the beast seemed unfocused.
She stood in between and yelled, “Don’t!”
She approached and picked up its paw,
and knew she was right in what she saw.
It had quite a prickle
removal made it fickle.
He hugged and licked her in thanks. D’aww
They were in a forest very dark
when they saw images upon the bark.
Completely frightening,
they stood there screaming.
Yet Pinkie was laughing, the contrast stark.
She looked to them and said “Don’t be silly,
you just have to Giggle at the Ghostie.”
She then began to sing
which got Twilight wondering.
The faces leaving all nilly willy.
They found themselves at a raging river
with a serpent whose cries made them shiver.
His moustache had been cut,
it made them go, “What.”
But Rarity knew, and grabbed a scale sliver.
With a strike of the blade she cut,
not the serpent, actually her butt.
With the piece of her tail
which was not very frail
bonded with the hair which made him strut.
His moustache whole and beautiful,
he had been very grateful.
So he bent down
so they would not drown,
to let them cross and just be helpful.
They came upon a tattered bridge
which was over a precarious ridge.
Across, Rainbow flew.
From darkness they grew,
the Shadowbolts their latest hitch.
An offer for fame and glory
she just had to leave them sorry
For her it was obvious
no need to discuss.
She simply told them, “Negatory.”
They made it to the old castle,
it wasn’t too much of a hassle.
Five heavy stone balls
were left in the main hall.
They wondered how they could dazzle.
They brought them down to look closer.
Twilight they left alone to ponder.
But a vortex appeared
which made her disappear.
Her friends were then left to wonder.
Twilight was now facing the dark mare,
at her hooves, the reason they were there.
She had to think fast,
and so forward she dashed.
Before contact, teleport, with time to spare.
Twilight’s bluff had payed out in full,
Nightmare Moon made to look the fool.
The orbs bright like a flare,
shattered to her despair.
The Elements were broken, did they fail?
As she threw Twilight, Nightmare laughed.
Everything, truly hers at last.
But a voice from the dark,
triggered the spark.
Twilight’s friends, around her, amassed.
Nightmare Moon stood in victory
nothing could stand contradictory.
She found it amusing
how they kept on fighting.
“Tell me, are you all simply crazy?”
“You think it over, but its not.
those large rocks are not what we sought.
You can’t destroy them
it’s from ponies they stem.
The Elements is what they brought.
“Applejack and her Honesty,
Rarity with Generosity,
Kindness of Fluttershy,
Laughter of Pinkie Pie,
and Rainbow Dash’s Loyalty!”
“You still don’t have magic!” she threatened.
Twilight did not flinch for even a second.
“That’s where you’re wrong.
I know where I belong”
Nightmare just can’t understand she reckoned.
A gigantic beam of the rainbow
even brighter than the sun’s glow
consumed Nightmare Moon
brought about her doom,
and the righteous end of the shadow.
When it had finally ended
a sphere of light truly splendid,
entered the chamber
a familiar stranger.
Princess Celestia now present.
She approached the mare of horror
But now Nightmare Moon no longer.
To rule she invited.
Sisters reunited,
a celebration now in order.
Before we leave, one more decree
Twilight in Ponyville she did agree,
on one condition:
she learn a lesson,
and with it, was to share with thee.
