Late in the night, Cadance was stirring in her sleep as those same nightmares continued to torment her, topping it all off with the misfortunes that kept on occurring when she was awake.

“Honestly Cadance, not again?” groaned Shining Armor as he stirred in his sleep, but seeing how distraught his wife seemed he felt he ought to at least comfort her, but strangely, she pushed him away. “No, don’t touch me!”

She really looked shaken, as if she were going to burst from the inside. Her husband tried to comfort her, but she kept on inching away fearing something dreadful would happen to him, but finally he caught her and embraced her warmly “Cadance, it’s okay. It’s okay.” He whispered into her ear.

She gave in, and began to cry on his shoulder. She didn’t know how much more of this she could take, but she was secretly thinking of actually obeying those voices in her dreams. “Don’t even think about it.” Shining Armor said. It was as if he could read her mind. “Don’t give in to those dreams, they aren’t real, and you’re no curse.”

“Cadance… I love you, and I can’t bear to lose you too, not after Twilight.”

They both remembered how tragic it was when Twilight died, but it only fueled Cadance’s growing urge to give in and leave, but ultimately she still couldn’t bring herself to do it… yet!

Meanwhile, far away in New Canterlot Palace, little Castor and Leilani were crying loudly in their cribs. Their parents came into the nursery almost at once. “Oh, children, children…” Celestia said sweetly as she and her husband picked them up to comfort them “Oh, don’t cry little ones.” Grand Ruler said.

They soon discovered the reason; it was just a diaper emergency. Soon the babies were cleaned and wearing fresh diapers and they yawned sleepily. They were placed back in their cribs, and their proud parents pecked them each goodnight, and the two little foals dropped right off to sleep. “They’re so peaceful.” Celestia whispered. Grand Ruler agreed. “Come, we should go back to bed too.”

As they walked back to their bedroom, Celestia gasped and grasped her body in pain.

His wife groaned softly as the pain shot through her, and then it faded again. These cramps were starting to be constant and more painful each time, and Grand Ruler was beginning to worry. He wasn’t going to take any more chances, and summoned for the court physician, getting him out of bed.

Celestia was examined, but really the doctor couldn’t find all that much wrong with her “I’d say you’ve been overdoing it, your majesty. As strong as you are, your body can’t handle much more stress. I recommend you take it easy for a while.”

Celestia didn’t feel that was the case, and she wasn’t very fond of the idea of relaxing, especially while the planet was in so much danger from the phantom and the Dark King. “Celestia, I’m sorry but I’m putting my foot down this time.” said Grand Ruler “Remember when you made me rest because I was overdoing it myself? Well, I think you owe me that much as well.”

Celestia knew she couldn’t argue. “All right, for you my love.” They kissed softly, and adjourned to bed. Little did they know that they were being watched by those two hooded strangers from outside. Even when the guards flashed their lights directly on them, or passed right by on their rounds, they acted as if they could not even see the two strangers, nor could they detect them with their visors and scanners, and just kept on going about their business.

“Now is not the time to make our move. We must wait for the condition to near its peak. Only then will it be time for us to let her have it.”

The two strangers levitated to one window down and peeked into the babies’ room, gazing down at the sleeping foals. They seemed so tranquil, and so innocent. The strangers continued to watch for a few more minutes, feeling strange deep down being near the foals, and then they vanished into thin air.

The next morning, Spike was up very, early. He couldn’t sleep so he sat outside on the patio steps, while Rarity was still asleep in bed. The sun was slowly rising, but Spike’s mind was elsewhere. He felt he had finally finished his song for Rarity. All the lyrics were just perfect to him, and he even hummed a little tune he felt would be a perfect tune to sing to them, and yet, he still felt it could be just a little more special. “What can I do to make it absolutely beautiful?” he wondered aloud.

“Oh, I… I couldn’t sleep.” Spike said, and he gazed down at his parchment, which Rhymey recognized. Spike even let him see it to critique it.

Spike felt flattered, and he told Rhymey of his problem, and Rhymey had the perfect suggestion of how to make the song perfect and really bring it all out.

In the Dark Future, Neila gazed shamefully at Ergo, “Guess you’re not fairing any better than Nomed did, eh Ergo?”

Ergo clenched his fists and sulked “I was just testing them, that’s all. This time I’ll crush ‘em like common flies.”

“You wish.” said Esroh Dab as he came into full view. Neila and Ergo hardly recognized him in his new appearance.

“Of course I do, this is my little idea. I’ve already appealed to his majesty, and he gave me this ability. After all, what better way to learn more about our enemies than up close and in person?”

The others didn’t know what to say or think, but Ergo felt as if he was being replaced. “It’s not fair; I’ve only had one stab at those creeps!”

“Calm down, Ergo.” said Tnaig as he came into view from the shadows. “We are all trying to do what we feel is best to help serve the Dark King. We are not against each other.”

Ergo still felt a little outraged, but he was suddenly summoned before the Dark King. “Ergo, what is this I hear of you questioning my decisions?!” he bellowed.

Ergo felt a little frightened “No, boss… I’m not questioning your orders.”

“You had better not. I permitted you to take up this task because you had requested, but it has become obvious that I must do what is necessary. You will all carry out your orders as normally, but interference will not be tolerated, as well as treason and betrayal.”

“I shall be watching you all very closely, and remember what I have said. Any deviation in my orders, and there will be consequences!” His booming voice shook the skies and the ground, frightening the minions.

Sometime later, after breakfast, Spike left Rarity saying that he was going to Rhymey’s place, but he didn’t say why, not wanting to let his little secret out.

At the market, she ran into Starla, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie, who were all out on a little shopping spree of their own. Rainbow was with them, not exactly enjoying herself, as she wasn’t much of a shopper. “I’d rather be out on patrol, than here.” She complained.

“Come on, Rainbow. You need to enjoy what little breaks in duty we get.” said Starla “ever since the Dark King’s forces appeared, time off has become few and foreign, especially for Lightning.”

Her husband wasn’t there as was busier than ever going over more reports, including the records of all Earth Ponies they had scanned hoping for leads on finding the phantom of magic. He didn’t get much sleep that night, and Starla practically urged him to take a much needed nap while she went shopping.

“You’re sound like you’re really getting the hang of all this wife stuff.” said Pinkie.

Starla giggled and she teased “Maybe one day all of you will experience it.”

Rainbow looked at her stiffly “Don’t even joke about something like that.” but she meant it in good humor.

Fluttershy bought a bag of tomatoes but was arguing with the vender of how much to pay.

The vender suddenly realized she had been outsmarted, but the girls all giggled. “Pinkie, you know that’s not honest.” said Starla.

“Sure I do; two bits for tomatoes is outrageous. One bit is the right price.”

Starla rolled her eyes, but Fluttershy was grateful to have her tomatoes just the same.

“Just don’t get anything on these new fabrics.” Rarity said “With these I shall make the most elegant line of dresses I have ever made.”

The girls admired them so deeply, Rarity didn’t watch where she was going and she bumped right into another pony, dropping her bag and all her fabrics onto the ground. The other pony turned to face them, and Rarity suddenly felt she was staring into the face of a god.

He was a young unicorn, greyish in color with a brown mane, half which was draped over his left eye and covered his forehead. He wore silver shiny armor, almost the same color and Rarity’s armor, and his cutie mark, painted on the front of his armor was that of a black cloud with a thunderbolt going through it.

Even Fluttershy and Pinkie thought he was handsome, and Starla almost felt the same, but shook off the feeling, but Rarity seemed to be most infatuated and could blink her eyes.

The other pony looked at her strongly and deeply and asked. “Is there a reason you’re gawking at me like that?”

Rarity finally snapped out of her trance. “I’m ever so sorry, I didn’t mean to…” then she realized her fabrics were all over the ground, some had filth all over them form the dirt. “Oh, no!” she cried, and overdramatically whined “It’s ruined! It was going to be beautiful, but now…”

Just then, the unicorn handed her a small bag of gold bits. “Here, this should let you buy some more.” he said. Rarity gazed at the bag and then back up at him. “It’s okay, Rarity.”

“Who doesn’t? You’re all well-known; Starla Shine, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash”

“Oh, but… are you new here?” asked Fluttershy “Oh, I’m sorry I asked.”

“It’s alright, and yes, I just moved in just a few blocks from the market. My name is Thunder Cloud.”

“Oh…” peeped Rarity, her cheeks were turning pink “Well… I um… I’m very pleased to…” that’s when Pinkie Pie butted in “Really pleased to meet you!” she practically shouted while shaking his hand hard. “Oh, wow. A New friend! I always get excited to meet a new friend.”

Rainbow smacked her forehead in dismay and muttered “Uh, oh… here she goes again.”

Before anyone could say anything, Pinkie Dashed off, and a split second later she returned with her welcoming wagon, and performed her New Ponyville Welcoming Song.

This time, she remembered to put the cake in the oven, and the confetti in the blowers, many of the ponies jumped for joy as the confetti flew, but Thunder Cloud was consumed by it all, especially the cake. “Is something wrong with the cake?” asked Pinkie.

The girls all gawked in confusion. “Of course not, silly. It’s for eating. A special cake to say “Welcome to New Ponyville.” but Thunder could only gaze at the cake oddly, and stuck his hand right through it, and gawk at his hand in disgust.

The girls began to wonder if maybe Thunder was new than more to just New Ponyville. “I think maybe I should go.” he said “It was… nice… meeting all of you.” then he walked off.

“He seemed kind of strange, like maybe he’s lonely.” said Fluttershy. Pinkie Pie agreed with this. She could always tell when someone hadn’t many friends. She spat into her hands, and rubbed them together “Time to get my A-Game on. There’s a new pony in town, and we’ve got to help him fit in.”

Rarity said nothing; she just had that same queer look on her face when she first saw him.

As Fluttershy walked home, she saw Rhymey and Spike coming along the way. Spike was holding a small object, about the size and shape of a birthday-card. “Oh!” Fluttershy cried “Is that what I think it is?”

“Sure is…” said Spike “It’s a Holographic Music Imager, and it’s got my song for Rarity on it.”

The Holographic Music Imager or HMI as it was preferably known as, was device that could project magical images like a music-video, complete with special effects and everything. Fluttershy recognized it because Rhymey had often made one or two for her, with songs and poetry he wrote.

“I remember making each one.
It was so beautiful to see when it was done.
The images and music brings joy to my eye
and it was all for you…Fluttershy.”

His mare-friend blushed and hid behind her mane, and Rhymey smiled softly. As for Spike, though his gift for Rarity was complete, he still wasn’t so sure of actually giving it to her. Fluttershy and Rhymey decided not to put pressure on him and let him ultimately decide for himself. “Thanks guys. Well, I better get back.” then he left.

After he was gone, Fluttershy gazed deeply into Rhymey’s eyes, and he gazed into her, and they embraced each other and kissed deeply.

As Spike made it back to Carousel Boutique, he began thinking about how to present his gift to Rarity, and even voiced them in practice.

He even thought of just leaving it out for her to find it, but that wouldn’t do at all. Spike could only sigh in dismay, and hope he would be able to pull himself through this.

He heard a faint sigh coming from the area where Rarity used to have her shrine to Trenderhoof. The shrine had long since been taken down, and Spike found Rarity just sitting there in the big empty room. She sighed again so heavenly.

-Staring off into space
-Eyes half open, hardly blinking
-Rosy cheeks
-Sighing heavily.

…Spike began to feel a small lurch in his heart, and not a good one, and he soon got his confirmation when she finally started talking properly “Oh, Spike… while you were out I met the most polite young pony I’ve ever known. Not to mention very handsome.”

Spike looked down at the floor sadly, and then kept his HMI hidden behind his back where she wouldn’t see it. Then he put on a fake act. “Really…? Who is he, what’s he like?”

She told him all about Thunder Cloud, and how she had a suspicion that he hadn’t many friends, and was seemingly foreign to simple things like a cake. “He was so generous, that he gave me his sack of gold so I could buy more fabric. That’s the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for me.”

Spike smiled, but actually he was repressing the agonising pain that struck him; remembering when he gave his fire ruby to her and she pecked him on the cheek.

Spike backed away softly from Rarity, taking the HMI Disk with him, and he hid it within his bed basket where she wouldn’t find it. He was feeling a little cold deep down, but deep down a voice told him not to give up, while another one enforced how different he and Rarity were, five years apart, not even the same species…

Spike could only sigh. Then he looked out the window and he saw a lone unicorn walking down the way. “Rarity… is that him?”

She was at the window in almost a split second. “Who… where?” she cried, and then she saw Thunder Cloud outside. Her eyes sparkled like the stars and she felt a little swoony. Thunder Cloud could see her from the window and waved at her. Rarity felt pleasant steam erupt from her face, and she fell flat on her back giggling, further proving to Spike it was love at first sight and disheartening him.

Rarity recovered a minute after she fainted, and saw that Thunder Cloud was walking just down the road to a house a few homes down from Rarity’s, a house that had been for sale for a long time after the previous owners left. Rarity thought this was most convenient for her. “I know; I’ll invite him over for dinner. I’m sure he’d love a home-cooked meal.”

When Rarity reached Thunder Cloud’s home, she suddenly was having second thoughts, or rather feeling a bit jittery. “Oh, my… what will I say to him? After all, I’ve only just met him. Maybe I should give it time, oh, but if I don’t show him kindness… oh my!”

Then suddenly the door opened wide, and there stood Thunder Cloud. “Rarity…? What are you doing here?”

Rarity felt her face turn red, and she stuttered and stammered trying to find her words, but she also got a quick peek inside the house to see that it was all dark, and dirty, almost exactly as it was when the previous occupants moved out. “Would you like to come in?” he asked.

“Um… no… no thank you… I… I best be going along. Ta-Ta!” and she dashed of like lightning, feeling a bit foolish.

Thunder Cloud kept eyeing her until she had gone out of sight, and then went back inside his dark, practically empty home. There were only a few empty boxes, old shaggy painting tarps scattered about.

Neila snickered softly as she materialized. “Well, well… looks like someone’s taken in by your charm, Esroh.”

Thunder Cloud, who was really Esroh, snickered softly “Many have, but it doesn’t matter to me. Remember, I’m only in all this to please his majesty’s wishes. Now more to the case; why are you even here?”

“Take it easy.” said Neila “Ergo’s getting ready to launch his next attack, and I thought I’d watch him from here with you.”

Rarity was pacing back and forth, shaming herself for acting so silly in front of Thunder Cloud. “I don’t think I can ever show my face in front of him again.” she cried. Spike didn’t know if not to encourage or discourage her from trying again, but before he could actually say something, the ground began to rumble and quake as if something very big was approaching, and the alarms sounded.

“Let’s go, Spike.” cried Rarity, and she dashed for the door, but Spike was still a little distraught by what was happening. “Spike…?”

He finally came to. “Sorry, I’m coming.” and he joined her by the door, and they both transformed.

They dashed out the door as the barriers appeared around the buildings, even around Esroh’s home. “So this was how they once defended themselves; how primitive.” Nevertheless, he had his own orders not to interfere in the battle about to take place. So he and Nelia just sat by the window to watch.

Rarity and Spike dashed out near the marketplace. Fluttershy and Rhymey came along, followed by Pinkie Pie and Rainbow, and finally Starla came back with Lightning. “What’s going on?” asked Lightning.

“You mean what’s about to go on.” shouted a voice. The friends all turned and saw Ergo standing atop a tall tree. “…and what’s about to go on is you’re about to get beaten!”

“Fat chance of that Ergo!” shouted Starla, but the ground began to rumble again. “What’s happening?” cried Fluttershy, and she got her answer as what had to be the largest monster they had ever seen so far-- A pig monster with large tusks, about the height of a whole house and the length of two.”

It made more of a snorting roar than a growl. “How repulsive!” Rarity groaned.

“You think that was bad… just try to attack Boar Bottoms.” Ergo sneered “Well, go ahead, try!”

The team began to have a really bad feeling about this, Rainbow decided to go first. She soared way up, getting some good height, and then came crashing down swiftly. “SONIC RAINBOOM” she hit the huge boar clean in his massive side, but he was so big and pudgy that Rainbow just bounced right off him, like hitting rubber, and was sent flying backwards hard and away like a speeding projectile.

“Rainbow!” cried Lightning. Rainbow was traveling so fast that she zipped all the way around the entire planet, and right back to the battle zone, crashing hard and skidding along the ground. “Oh!” cried Fluttershy as she dashed over to help her friend up. “Are okay, Rainbow?”

Pinkie and Rarity leapt for a high-jump kick, but ended up getting thrown back just like Rainbow did. “Wow, that’s kind of fun.” said Pinkie, and getting carried away she began to bounce on the monster like a trampoline. “Wee… Wha-hoo!”

“Pinkie, what are you doing? Get down!” shouted Lightning, but monster growled and flung Pinkie off his back like a common fly. “Okay, that wasn’t nice!” growled Pinkie.

They charged straight for Boar’s huge face feeling it would be easier to strike him, but Boar gave a huge snuff from his large snout, blowing them both away hard. They both were livid and held their noses.

Lightning fired several small pulses of uniforce from his horn, but Ergo watched with wicked glee muttering “That’s it… just wait for it now.”

The blasts headed straight for Boar, and he just opened his huge mouth wide and actually ate them whole. “Did you see that?!” cried Lightning. “I don’t believe it!” cried Starla.

Ergo snickered and then snapped his fingers, and Boar let out a big belch, sending all that combined power right back at them, hitting them hard, and sparks and explosions flew all over.

“He attacked us with our own stuff,
Only it felt more than twice as rough.” groaned Rhymey

“That’s what my new Cardinal does…” snarled Ergo “He absorbs all that power thrown at him, and then spits it back out twice as hard. He’s virtually invincible!”

The monster snorted loudly and began to charge. “Look out!” cried Fluttershy, and everyone left out of the way, one by one avoiding the charging boar, but despite their avoiding him, Boar began to smash his way through the market place, turning it into a complete and total waste area.

Rainbow clenched her fists “We keep fighting, that’s what. There’s gotta be a way to beat this porker!” She dashed forth again, landing on the monster’s huge face, away from his large snout. “Okay you big ugly brute…” she snarled while striking a boxing pose, and then began to foolishly punch at those big ugly eyes. All this did was annoy the monster that he began to wiggle and waggle his face vigorously, but Rainbow clung onto his huge snout, hanging on tightly, until she got snuffed off.

The others thought of using their attacks away from Boar’s face so he wouldn’t eat the power, but firing attacks at his side proved useless as his huge, pudgy body didn’t seem to get hurt. Even Spike’s flame attacks hardly even made the creature flinch.

Ergo watched everything and chortled “This is almost too fun to even be real.” He then decided to spice things up with his own magic. “SPEED UP” he used this magic on his monster, causing it to become faster when it charged. “Here he comes again, dodge!” shouted Lightning, and everyone evaded him, but Boar spun round swiftly and charged the other way, bashing them all hard, Rarity even went flying and landed in a pile gloopy crushed tomatoes “Eww!!” she cried.

Spike was angered by this and charged at the monster full force, only to be shoved back hard. “It’s no use, kids!” Ergo hollered “All you’re doing is making him hungrier, and I think he knows what he wants to eat next.”

The friends continued to fight. Rhymey, Starla and Spike charged at him, but they got bashed hard, and dropped their weapons. Boar began to charge at them again, but the others came and got their friends out, only to then watch in horror as Boar devoured the weapons. “No!” shouted Starla.

Then things got worse, as with the weapons now swallowed, he was able to fire magical blasts and energy from them, making him even stronger than ever. One-by-one, everyone got hit and was dealt serious damage. The others tried summoning their weapons back, but to no avail.

“They’re far too deep to hear our call,
We cannot reach to them at all.” cried Rhymey.

That’s when Boar opened his huge mouth, and the inside of his mouth was glowing brightly, ready to fire a huge burst. “I think that’s what he’s doing now.” cried Pinkie.

“Let’s move!” cried Rainbow, but they all suddenly felt their speeds decreasing. “Going somewhere?” Ergo chortled, hinting he was using his Speed-Down spell to slow them up, and Boar was ready to fire his attack. “HE’S GONNA BLOW US TO PIECES!!” cried Pinkie.

“Not today!” shouted Lightning. Though he couldn’t escape by speed, he still had his power and charged up as much as he could.

He fired his force right as Boar fired his, and Lightning’s of course being stronger, actually countered the blast sending it right back into Boar’s mouth. “Wait… he’ll absorb the power!” cried Fluttershy.

“I… don’t… think so!” cried Lightning as he poured on more power. All that magic going in was too much for Boar to handle all at once, resulting in a small blowout form within him, and he spewed out the three weapons.

“Our weapons! We’ve gotta get them.” cried Spike, but they were still under the effects of Ergo’s spell as long as he kept them in his sights. Starla turned her head to face him in the tree. “PULSAR LASER” she fire at the base of the tree, slicing it off and causing the tree to fall, and Ergo with it.

With his focus broken, the team was freed from his spell, and the others called their weapons back just in time before Boar could eat them again. That’s when Rhymey’s insignia began to glow. “Rhymey, you mega mode is activated!” cried Starla.

“I’m not going to wait…
Mega Mode, Activate!” Then he transformed and was donned in his mega armor, and his sword had taken a new shape into a beautiful and powerful scimitar. Fluttershy really admired how cool he looked.

“Rhymey listen, I think I know a way to beat this thing.” Lightning said, and he explained his plan, “But it’s very risky.”

He then gazed at Fluttershy and quickly kissed her for luck, and assured her not to worry. “Rhymey!” she cried as she watched him fly off. “Stay focussed!” Rarity shouted “We must keep the monster distracted.

Ergo peeked out from under the brambles of the fallen tree to see what was happening.

He saw the ponies flying in circles around Boar, and attacking him constantly, bouncing off his body in the process. Fluttershy charged at him right in the face and did exactly what Rainbow did, and punched at his face like crazy. The monster began to waggle and shake his face about, finally opening his large mouth, taking in air to snuff Fluttershy off, giving Rhymey his chance to head straight on in.

One inside the monsters massive stomach, Rhymey coughed and groaned at the incredible stinky aroma.

He clutched his sword hard, ready to unleash his newer, stronger finisher. The sword began to glow as swirling winds encircled around the blade.

He gave one swing of his blade, at the air, sending waves of burning energy in all directions. He slashed again, and again, and again…!

Boar suddenly gasped, feeling something strange going on inside of him. “Uh, oh!” cried Pinkie “HE’S GONNA BLOW!!” shouted Spike.

Boar then let out a great big roar, and Rhymey quickly leapt out through his mouth followed by a big burst, and the monster exploded in one colossal big bang, leaving only his card behind when the smoke cleared, and the picture on it faded away.

“I don’t believe it!” growled Ergo. He angrily pounded the ground with his fist. “I’m gonna get these pests for this!” then he vanished.

Rhymey got forced back by the explosion and forced hard into a wall fence, and his suit powered down. “Rhymey…! Rhymey!” cried Fluttershy as she dashed over and scooped him up in her arms. “Oh, Rhymey, are you alright.”

Fluttershy smiled and tears formed in her eyes, and the others were all relieved. “Good work.” Lightning said. Everyone felt glad to have won the battle, but it they couldn’t deny that the Cardinals were getting stronger, which meant they would all have to regroup and discuss ways to become even stronger and swifter.

For now, they had another chore to do… clean up the marketplace that got demolished. Rarity didn’t like the sight of how everything looked, especially seeing as she was still covered in all the gloop. Nevertheless, they set to work.

Neila and Esroh had seen everything. “Looks like Ergo messed up again; the poor guy.” Neila said, not sounding too concerned. “I wouldn’t say it was a total loss.” said Esroh “We got to see the ponies battle, which is the first step in my mission, but I’ll have to watch them more closely until I’ve gathered enough information. After all, the more you know about your enemy, the easier it’ll be to beat them on their own turf.”

Neila slicked her hair “Whatever, just make sure you don’t get into trouble here. The Dark King won’t be pleased.” Then she vanished, and left him to ponder over his next moves. Ersoh however, couldn’t stop eyeing the others as they worked particularly Rarity. “There’s something unusual about her.”

It didn’t take too long to clean up the market, especially when other ponies offered to help, after emerging from their homes.

Rarity felt really dirty, and had at least three baths when she got home. “Oh, I feel I shall never be the same again.” she groaned.

“Relax, Rarity, you look fine.” said Spike, and he sniffed the air around her “You smell lovely too.”

Spike winced softly, and Rarity began to go into one of her trances again. She visualized Thunder Cloud, still not whom he really was, imagining he was looking right at her and saying “Hi Rarity, you look really sharp.”

“Oh…!” Rarity could only say as she fainted. Spike could only sigh and remember his HMI buried in his bed basket, feeling it would have to stay where it is.

In our next episode, Cadance finally snaps from all her trauma and leaves her home and her husband in desperation. The team organizes a worldwide search for her, and Celestia’s condition is shown to be fatal when strange medicine is given to her warning her of what will happen.

The Phantom of Magic also appears, now interested in only capturing the team’s remaining cutie marks to add to his sinister project.

Will the team be able to find Cadance? Will the phantom succeed in his goal?
