At dawn, just as Shining Armor had said, they left with an army of colts willing to fight for Equestria. Twilight regained her strength, with the help of Princess Cadence and she was prepared to free her friends. They had all they needed for a 5-day journey as Twilight has said it was and for the journey back. The night was approaching, so they were preparing camp. They were nearby the Galloping Gorge, so the made camp there. Twilight sat near Shining Armor and Cadence’s tent. She had her saddlebag open and she was staring at the broken elements. Shining Armor sat next to her.

“Hey, you ok, Sis?”

“I don’t know. How are we going to fix the elements?”

“I don’t know, Twily. Maybe Celestia would know, but right now, I don’t think they can be fixed.”

Twilight sighed.

“Do you think my friends are ok?”

“They are strong, Twilight. I don’t think that they’d be that easy to get rid of. Have some faith in them.”

“What am I doing here? I’m here sitting feeling sorry for myself when I should be over there in Canterlot fighting for their lives. That’s exactly what they'd be doing if it were me.”

She stood up and she handed her saddlebag to her brother.

“You’ll take care of them, won’t you?”

“Twilight, what are you-?” Cadence asked suddenly.

“I should be fighting for them at this moment. Take care of the elements for me! I’ll see you back in Canterlot!”

She ran off with Shining Armor running after her. She closed her eyes and teleported away leaving him staring off. Cadence ran next to him and put her hoof on him.

“She knows what could happen! Why is she so stubborn!?”

“Well, she is your sister.”

Shining Armor looked at his wife.

“What do you mean by that?”

“All I’m saying is that Twilight is strong, just like you. She knows how to keep fighting. I believe in her and I trust her judgement.”

A glow came from Twilight’s saddlebag. Shining Armor opened it and was amazed at what he saw. The Element of Loyalty was whole again and was glowing brightly. Cadence smiled in awe.

“Did… Did Twilight do that?” Shining Armor asked.

“Maybe so. Maybe she’s the key to repairing these elements. Maybe it’s recognizing the spirit of that element in somepony else, but one thing for sure, Equestria is in good hands, and we will win this battle.” Cadence said with hope.
