Meanwhile, in the castle, Silver Colt and Shadow Rose rushed to the throne room to get Cosmic Star, but overcame with two Unicorns. The guards reacted as Shadow Rose and Silver approaches holding tight with their Magic."Open the doors, unicorns." Shadow Rose commands.

The guard replied back to Shadow Rose, "But Princess Luna gave us a word to not open the doors to no one, Captain." Shadow rose felt as she was betrayed, but she command the guards again but with disappointment, "Open the door, or you'll never your heads in the next morning!" The guards looked at each other nervously and opens the doors letting in them both as they see Cosmic star sobbing and exhausted to escape.

Silver Colt along with Shadow Rose ran up and helped her up, "Cosmo! Are you okay?"

Cosmic Star gets up and hugs Silver Colt as she sobs quietly, "I'm sorry...I've tried to stop her, but-" Silver Colt cuts her off as he realized as he looked at Shadow Rose, "Where's Luna!?"

Shadow rose looked at the window, "Silver Colt. Why don't you look outside and see for yourself." Silver Colt and Cosmic Star looked outside of the window as the sky darkens, the Sun was black, and an army of bats start to march* "Is it..." 

Shadow rose replies with doubt, "Yep, Princess Luna...is no more." Cosmic Star tears up, "Its all my fault, if I wouldn't have run away, none of this.." "You wouldn't have met us, and notice everything about Luna being here as herself. Cosmo, you can't give up, not when Luna needs you. Celestia needs you, we need you, Cosmo!" Silver Colt cried. 

Cosmic Star doubted herself putting herself down in a pit, "They don't need me, I mess up their relationship and push them. They can't forgive each other this way, and they won't forgive me for what I did."

Shadow rose pushed Silver away and confronted at Cosmic with direct eye contact, "Look, you're here to see Luna right, and know about the 1000 year terror of Nightmare Moon.Then tell everyone about what you are and what is your purpose of being here to every-pony." Cosmo took in Shadow's words too much to handle. 

As worried as Cosmo is, she turns around, and walks to the balcony seeing every-pony standing below in fear, faces back to Silver and Shadow as they slowly nod to her. Cosmo took a breathe and standed strong, as the crowd looked at each other with somber and worry, "Fellow ponies of this hidden place, I have came to tell you that...we have lost a Princess, a caring, serenity alicorn that gives us the peace within our lives. But not becoming herself, but another. Here to tell you that we need to help our dear Princess from the darkness, follow me every-pony as we reawaken the Elements and save our Princess, Princess Luna!"

The crowd cheered for Cosmic Star as Silver Colt and Shadow Rose came up next to her. Cosmo and Silver spread there wings and flew high, and Shadow directed the crowd to follow Cosmo and Silver.

As Cosmic Star, Shadow Rose, Silver Colt, and the rest of the ponies come towards the cavern. Every-pony stopped as Cosmo leads on the the cavern. Cosmo stopped and turns around, "Silver Colt...Shadow Rose?"

Shadow Rose and Silver Colt approached her, "This is something you have to do on your own, Cosmic." Shadow commented. Silver hugged her once more, "Good luck, Cosmo. We'll always be there for you." Cosmo smiles and enters the cavern with courage.

Entering farther within the cave she sees a bright white light, brighter and farther down she went. Right in the middle was the Tree of Harmony

Cosmic Star standing to see a sight of bright lights, she sighed, "I don't know if you can hear me, but I want to know how I can find my true destiny as being an Alicorn from the start. Although, Princess Celestia was the one suppose to know, but it like she's not tell me something. What is it I'm I missing!"

The Elements and her cutie mark glowed, as her eyes gleamed a voice can be heard but the figure was too hard to see, "Forgiveness. They...must...forgive...each other...bring them forgiveness and love for each other as two forces come...in perfect balance." the voice whispered.

Confused, Cosmo approached the bright figure slowly and the voice speaks again, "A second chance...to bring true...harmony," beam streams of light surround and lifts Cosmic Star up "To awaken...the Elements of Harmony!"

Magically around Cosmic Star a crown reappears and her hair gleams, like all royal Alicorn. As the magic stops, Cosmic Star was put down slowly, and fluttered her eyes. She became amazed by her gift, "A purpose, to bring Love and Forgiveness to Equestria." the voice whispers again. 

"So then with Silver Colt and Shadow rose...are my two remain elements." Cosmo questioned the voice as the Tree of Harmony releases two elements Loyalty and Kindness as they circle around Cosmo.

Hours later, outside of the Tree of Harmony cave, every pony waited for Cosmic Star's arrival even Shadow Rose and Silver Colt that worries the most for Cosmo's return, "What's taking her so long?" 

Silver Colt calmed Shadow down, "Just be patient, sis, shes probably taking time." "I know that, Silver, but a war between the two sisters is at stake!" Shadow broke her impatience.

Appearing a bright starlight, wings shows and starts walking; as she walks, every pony bows; and as she stops to her friends her light dimmed as her original self along with the two elements that surrounds her. Silver Colt and Shadow Rose's eyes gleamed as the two elements surround her, 

"You two have been chosen and proved that you become of what destine in the need with two new elements Loyalty and Kindliness." the two stones surrounded Shadow rose and Silver Colt as they formed to a necklace gem based off their cutie makes as a green emerald shield and a ruby red rose. Defeating Nightmare Moon and save Equestria, but saving Luna and Celestia is the main problem that I'm going to face alone." Cosmo replied. 

Silver Colt confronted to Cosmo as he looked Shadow Rose. The both bow down, "Were with you until the end, Cosmic Star." Cosmo smiles. The crowd cheered as the three ran off to Canterlot



Meanwhile, in Canterlot

Princess Celestia walks passed the Canterlot guards that gets ready for the war, she heads to her armor and puts on.

Top Guard trots up to the Princess and bows to answer, "Princess, the guards are ready for your commands." "Tell the Unicorn guards to form a shielded wall and the Pegasus to steady for attack." commanded Princess Celestia. As the Captain bows one last time, he trots away. As Princess Celestia puts in her helmet on she heads to the balcony, and sees the skies turn red as clouds bury the blue skies as a war is just the beginning.
