After aiding in making sure that none of the materials in the archives of Twilight's now collapsed tower were damaged, White Magick had two more things to deal with, King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis.  After parting ways with Twilight and her friends, he headed over to the two who were just as belligerent and angry as Twilight was when she was covered in ooze.  He could tell just by looking at the two that they were corrupted in a different way and had been corrupted for far, far longer than Twilight was. 

As he stood in front of them he began to stare at both of them intently, they knew what his plans were and both found it ridiculous that he thought he could cleanse them.  Chrysalis laughed, "You really think you can cleanse the Queen of the Changelings.  I'm not weak like Twilight is." 

Sombra added, "We're both strong, your magic is nothing compared to ours."

White Magick couldn't help but chuckle, "We'll see." 

As he continued to analyze the two, he could tell that Chrysalis would be far, far tougher given that she is a changeling and even he, despite having lived for ages, had never written any kind of spell involving changelings.  He got closer to Chrysalis and sighed, "Well, here goes nothing." 

He leaned down to where he was at eye level with her and like he did with Twilight, he began to glow a bright white and his cutie mark began to glow blue.  He lit up his horn and his eyes began to shine white as he stared straight into the soul of the changeling queen.  What he saw made him wonder if this was possible.  He saw all the bad things she had done in life but also he saw the moment she was hatched, that she was like the rest of her kin.  Despite his doubts, he figured that he would use a much more powerful type of energy on her than he did on Twilight.

Once he felt like his energy was at its strongest he recited, 

"Throughout her life, the heart of the changeling queen has been as black as night,
For all the creatures of this world this is not right
The darkness within her has a lot of might
But the time has come for her to see the light

For too long the changeling queen has been mean,
She often moves and in her natural form is unseen
The darkness within her is what allowed her to ascend to being the queen
Thick is the evil that lies within her but it must become lean

Now the time has come for her evil to pay the fee,
She can feel that the evil is beginning to flee
The evil leaving her is something that we can all see
And the time has finally come, the changeling queen is finally FREE!"

As he finished reciting the spell Chrysalis was shrouded in light and a change began to happen.  She shed her black coat and it was replaced with a light blue one, her horn went from being jagged and crooked to being smooth and curved, her wings lost their holes, her body went from having holes in it to being whole like that of a pony, her eyes turned blue and her mane and tail turned blue.  

After five minutes the light subsided and Chrysalis floated to the ground, she was in a state of confusion.  She looked around and asked, "What happened to me?"

White Magick replied, "You have become free of the darkness that you were born with." 

Chrysalis continued to look around with a great amount of confusion.  White Magick could understand why she was acting the way she was but even he had no clue how to handle this.  He pointed his hoof over towards Galaxia and suggested, "I think you would get more answers if you talk to her, I am sure she would understand your situation more." 

Chrysalis gave him a nervous smile and nodded.  As she headed off to talk to Galaxia, White Magick approached an utterly shocked Sombra.  He had always believed that out of all the villains in Equestria, that nothing would ever be able to cleanse Chrysalis but soon decided that he would not fall victim to his captor's white magic.

White Magick gave Sombra a half smile and asked, "So Sombra, are you still certain that you can't be cleansed?"

Sombra gave him a mocking laugh, "So Sombra, are you still certain that you can't be cleansed?"  He dropped the laugh and sneered, "Yessss....I'm certain I can't be cleansed." 

Given that he was a pony, not a changeling, White Magick began to wonder if perhaps a spell similar to the one he used on Twilight could be used.  He replied, "Oh we'll see."  

Like he did with Chrysalis and Twilight, he got down to where he was at eye level with him.  As he began to ready himself to cast the spell, he began to glow white, his cutie mark began to glow and his horn began to glow white.  Finally his eyes began to shine a bright white and he began to stare straight into the soul of Sombra.  The first things he saw shocked him, Sombra had not always been evil.

There was a time in his distant past that he was a good, nice pony.  The events that unfolded to corrupt Sombra at first made White Magick feel bad, Sombra being belittled for never getting a cutie mark and how that caused him to grow resentful and then full of enough hate that he turned evil.   White Magick's horn began to glow brighter as he recited, 

"The *dark Alicorn king has been corrupted by much hate,
The evil he has done caused many to be treated as though they are second rate
For too long has he been doomed to a terrible fate
Soon he shall be allowed to start with a clean slate

His deeds of the past have caused much pain,
They have caused the misery of so many to fall like rain
Even parts of his own life were sent down the drain
No longer shall the blood of others be on him like a stain

Over the years many he has had chained like a dog to a tree,
But those days can no longer be
Brighter days lie ahead as all can see
The time has come for him to be FREE!"

As he finished the spell, a great amount of black, dark purple and green energy flew out of his body and after a minute, he came to.  White Magick looked at Sombra and couldn't help but notice the change in his appearance.  No longer did he have the same appearance as the soldiers that had been swayed away from him and duplicated over the millennia.  The Sombra that laid before White Magick was gray in color, had a dark gray and purple mane, his eyes were green and for the first time in ages, he had a true smile on his face.  

White Magick looked down at Sombra and said,  "Feel the light of being a free pony King Sombra."  

Sombra looked up at him in confusion and asked, "Who are you and where am I?"

White Magick replied, "I am King White Magick and you are in Equestria, Ponyville to be exact." 

Sombra began to say something but then he saw a pony that he once cared about very much, Princess Celestia.  He shouted, "Princess Celestia!" 

As he was galloping towards her she took a look at the pony running her way and she couldn't believe it.  She gasped, "Sombra, is it you?  Is it really you?"

Sombra embraced her and replied, "Yes Celestia, it is me." 

Everypony looked at the two in shock when he embraced her, especially Twilight.  She took a close look at him and gasped, "Wait a minute, Sombra as in King Sombra?"

Sombra replied, "Yes, as in King Sombra."  

Twilight gasped, "But, but you look so different and you seem nice.  You don't seem like the King Sombra I remember." 

Sombra was getting ready to say something when Celestia interrupted, "Twilight, this is something that we can discuss later."  She gave Sombra a smile and asked, "I know a lot has happened over the millennia with both of us so what do you say we go somewhere and catch up?"

Sombra replied, "I think that is a good idea, let's go." 

Twilight continued to stand there in shock watching who she thought of as one of the worst villains in history walking off with Celestia and the fact that they were acting more like long lost friends only stunned her further.  White Magick walked up next to her and said, "Twilight, a lot of things that you once knew are different now and it will take some getting used to." 

Twilight looked off to her left and saw the newly transformed Chrysalis and asked, "Who is she?  I've never seen her before." 

White Magick replied, "Twilight, that is Queen Chrysalis."

Twilight gasped, "That's Queen Chrysalis?  But she doesn't look right, she is light blue, she isn't full of holes and she looks friendly!" 

White Magick replied, "Like I have said, things have changed a lot since you last had your memory.  There will be new acquaintances and eventually friendships to be made."  He leaned down and whispered, "And I think a good place to start would be with Chrysalis, and once he and Celestia return, Sombra." 

Twilight nodded and headed in the direction of Chrysalis to introduce herself to the new version of the changeling queen, wondering if she would remember her.  White Magick looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.  Not only did he cleanse Twilight of her evil on this mission, but he also freed two long time villains of their evil as well.  He said to himself, "Mission accomplished."
