//------------------------------// // Chapter 10: The Green Light of Hope // Story: Sun's Equestria Girls Adventure: Daring Magic // by Pinkie Pie Sweets //------------------------------// The main ten, Aqua, and Daring Do are shocked to see the serpent from the legend has come to life. What's worse, Sun is attached to the snake's forehead. Sun's body is buried into the head tilts to hips, and Sun's arms are buried inside as well. The necklace continues to glow on her neck, and the Serpentine stone is on Sun's forehead. "Wh-what happened to Sun?" Fluttershy scaredly asks. "I don't know. That stone suddenly glow along with the necklace. It's like they're drawn to each other," Rainbow explains. "It must have been the Serpentine Stone and Somnambula's glowpaz necklace that caused this. There must be Equestrian Magic all over it," Applejack concludes. "What?" Daring questions in shock. "Aqua told us that two different lights of magic came here before the necklace was stolen. One of them must have got to the necklace, and the other one on the stone," Twilight says. Then Falling Star worriedly says, "And when they both are in one location, they must have combined." "And Sun must have been possessed by this magic and can't break free," Aria says. "We have to save her!" Pinkie screams. Just then, the snake begin to dive right at the group. "But first we need to move!" Daring shouts. Everyone begin to run out of the way. The snake lands on the ground, and begins to slither away in top speed. When the gang get up, they look to see where the reptile is heading. "It's heading towards the city," Adagio says. "Come on, we need to stop that monster and rescue our friend," Rainbow declares. Everyone nod their heads in reply. They know that Sun needs help, and fast. In the City of Sonnambula, many people go along with their daily routine. Suddenly, the people look at something that is having them horrified. They can see the green serpent slithering right into the city. The snakes hit some buildings, and destroy some property, it looks like nothing is going to stop it. Everyone begin to scream and panic as they run away from the monster. Still in a daze and stuck to the beast's head, Sun is fully unaware on what the snake is doing. The necklace and the stone continues to glow on Sun's head. Aqua continues to drive the day, as Daring Do and the others are looking see the trouble the snake is causing. Sonata worriedly asks, "We got to do something? That snake is going to hurt Sun id we don't." "We'll think of something, but we need to be sure everyone gets to safety," Daring Do replies. "There's must be a way to get through to Sun or at least get rid of the necklace and the stone that are the source of this magic," Applejack says. Daring Do asks, "I remember mentioning you that this Equestrian Magic is a part of this? What exactly do you girls know?" "Well, Equestrian Magic has been entering this world quite frequently. We have magic to only we sprout wings, pony ears, and long hair to be ponytails, and we use our unique it to fight evil. Also Sun is also a princess from a distant pony world called Equestria," Pinkie fastly explains. "Equestrian Magic? Gaining pony parts? Sun is royalty?" Daring Do surprisingly replies. The main ten nod their heads. Daring Do sighs, "That's a lot to take it. But it seem that you girls have faced a lot more crazy adventures as much as I have." "We know it," Rainbow says with pride. "As much as I like to share our accomplishments, there's still the matter on how to get Sun off of that snake without hurting her," Adagio says. "I don't know I'll be much help. I end up causing a lot of trouble for this town and for Sun. What if I mess up again," Daring Do sadly says, and looking very worried. Rainbow calmly says, "Daring Do, what you did was an accident and Dr. Caballeron took advantage of it to take the treasure from the city. You didn't want to tell us because you just wanteds to protect us. Sure things haven't gone well, but you can't give up." "Rainbow's right. Even though Sun knew the insidents you caused, she still have hope that you are good person and that you never meant to do what you did. She also never gave up hope about her being reunited to her friends and family. And the girls, who decided to travel all the way to find her. That shows that they never gave up hope, and believe they can accomplish it. I know I wasn't being fair to you earlier about thinking you took our treasure, but I'm willing to have hope that you want help stop this, and save the girl who has so much hope for others," Aqua explains. Daring Do takes in on what Rainbow and Aqua are saying. Then she remembers about Sun standing up for her, after everything the people in the town has told her. Daring Do smiles, and says, "You're right. I should never gave up hope that I can protect people and ancient artifacts from those to do them wrong. And now, I want to save Sun, who stood up for them, who was able to gave me a lot of hope, and made me realized that even though I tried to do good, I'm still responsible for my actions." "That's the spirit!" Pinkie cheers. "Still, I'll be if Sun sees all of you it will help," Daring suggests. "That might actually be a good idea. It will also add if she sings too, but we don't have our instruments," Sonata replies. "I own a music store, and I'll be happy to let you use it," Aqua says. "That sounds good, and I think I have a plan to save Sun. But I need to know the kind of magic you have to do it," Daring says. The ten girls look at each other. Then nod their heads in reply. "Right. The girls and I will explain what our magical abilities is, and you'll tell us what we need to do," Twilight says. In the city of Somnambula, everyone continues to run and scream as the enormous snake continue to slither towards them. As the snake travel through town, it continues to destroy everything in sight. Sun continues to be trapped in the magic of the two separate stones, it is like she has become a doll that can do nothing. Hiding at one of the alleys, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, and Falling Star are looking to see the snake heading towards them. They can see the giant snake carrying their friend on their head, and know they have a job to do. They are the distraction. Rainbow jumps out of the alley, and hollers, "Hey you over grown worn over here!" The snake looks at Rainbow and dives right at her. But with the power of her geode and transform with her pony parts, she dodge at top speed. Pinkie jumps out, and shouts, "Yoo hoo! Over here!" Then begin to run in the opposite direction from Rainbow. Falling Star comes out, and screams, "Don't forget about me!" then runs opposite of the two girls. The snake being to chase Pinkie, but she then uses her confetti to hit the snake as she transform, and the confetti explodes. The snake roars in anger. Then chase Falling Star, but uses her stars as she begins to transform to blind the serpent. The three girls continue to use their magic abilities and their pony forms to catch the snake's attention, and distract it. As the girls are keeping the snake busy, Sonata, Aria, Adagio, Rarity, and Daring Do, sneak out of a different alley to see the distraction is working. Daring Do and Sonata head toward a fire hydrant while Rarity and the others go off to a different direction. The snake continues to roar in anger as it tries to strike the girls. The girls continue to run from the snake as they use their magic at it. However, their run haven't last long because they have reach to a dead end. The snake has them cornered. Before the snake can strike, it feels something grabbing onto its tail. The snake turns around to see Applejack who has transform using her super strength to grab hold of it. "Now! Applejack shouts. Right on que, Daring Do uses a large wrench to open the hydrant to release the water. Transforming and using her magic, Sonata controls the water and aim it on the floor and over the part of the large amount of snake's body in water. She then makes the water freeze until they are ice. Aria and Rarity comes in and use their magic. Rarity use her diamond to keep the snake in place an some are on the cold ice. Aria then uses her star rope to grab hold of the snake's mouth, closing it in the process. Rarity, Daring Do, and Sonata grab hold of the star chain to help Aria keep it down. Rainbow and the others help out too. Out of the qatar, Aqua, Twilight, and Adagio exist it to see the event. Soon the snake is able to lift its head up as the girls are being dragged by the chain. The snake swings its head back and forth as the girls scream from the swining. Soon the snake break the chain sending the girls flying to the sand next to the building. Aqua and Adagio run to them. "Are you alright?" Adagio asks in concern. "I think so," Pinkie says. Sonata spits the sand from her mouth, "But now I have sand in my hair." "At least you were able to hold the snake down," Twilight replies. "Yeah. But that snake is not going to last long being in the diamonds and ice," Aria bluntly comments. "Well, we got all the instruments so we can see if we can use our magic to stop that snake," Adagio says. "Are you sure this will work?" Aqua asks. "We have to try," Daring says. "She's right. Sun needs us," Twilight says. "And she has done so much for us. It's our turn to help her with this magic problem," Adagio says. "She's right so let's do this!" Rainbow shouts, looking determined. The snake roars in anger as it pulls its body that is still stuck in the diamond and the ice. Soon the snake break free from the ice and diamonds, and break the star chain from its mouth. The snake slithers out of the alley to find the ones that is getting it its way. Suddenly, it begins to hear music like guitar strumming, piano playing, and drummers drumming. The snake looks round to find the source of the music. It looks until it sees the ten girls are the source of all the music. Rainbow is on guitar, Applejack on base, Pinkie on drums, Rarity on keytar, Fluttershy on tamborine, Twilight, Falling Star, and The Dazzlings are on vocals. As the girls play their instruments, they unleash a powerful beam of magic on to the snake, hoping it will be enough to free Sun. Twilight then uses her magic to lift Daring Do into the air so she can grab Sun. As they play and sing, the snake continues to move around. Just then, a green force field appears and repel the attack. And cause the girls to fall to the ground. That also cause Twilight to lose her magical grip on Daring Do, and she begins to fall. Sun is still dazed from the magic, and yet she is starting to shed tears of sadness. She wants to go home to her friends and family. She wants to play with them, and have wonderful adventures together. Most of all she wants her friends. She feels that all her hopes begin to fade away as she continues to be under the magic's influence. Suddenly, Daring Do falls as she screams, "Suuuuunnnn!" Then Daring Do ends up grabbing Sun pulling her into a strong hug. Sun gasps to feel the strong embrace. Then remembers the love her friends have for her, and all the fun. Sun closes her eyes as she no longer shed tears of sadness and loneliness, but now tears of joy. She opens her eyes, and are back to their normal teal color. Sun mumbles with happiness, "My friends!" She then hear Twilight crying out, "Sun! Sun!" Sun looks to see that Daring Do is the one with the strong embrace. Daring shows her the friends below. Sun smiles and begin to cry to see all of her friends come all the way here to find her. It makes her so happy. Bellow, Aria creates the star chain, and shouts, "Daring Do catch!" Aria throws the chain, and Daring Do catches it. Then the adventurer tied the chain on to Sun's waist. Daring Do then grab hold of Sun by the shoulder and begin to pull it. Twilight and the others grab the chain along with Aria and begin to pull on the chain. They begin to pull on the chain and Daring pull on the girls. Sun feels the force her friends and Daring Do are with pulling as her arms and legs are still trapped in the snake's head. Finally, Sun's arms are finally free. The snake senses it and roar in agony. Twilight and the girls feel the force the snake is pulling on the chain. Applejack screams, "Keep pulling!" The girls continue to pull on the chain, and the rest of the girls begin to pony up. Daring Do and Sun grab each others arms and begin to pull even more. The snake continue to scream as Sun is being pulled from the head. Soon enough, Sun 's legs are free from the head, and he along with Daring Do begin to fall. Sun then grabs Daring Do, and pony up with her wings, so she fly them both down to the safety where the girls are. As she lands on the ground, the necklace and the stone stop glowing, and yet the snake is still standing. Once they have land, Twilight and the girls run to Sun with tears and smiles, and pull her into group hug. Daring Do and Aqua Drop look to see how happy Sun and her friends are to see each other again. "Oh Sun, we were so worried about you," Fluttershy happily says. "We're so glad that you're alright now," Adagio replies. Twilight asks, "You're not hurt are you?" Pinkie cries that tears are coming out like sprinklers, and gives Sun a bear hug, "I-i-i'm so happy! I thought we will never see you again!" "I'm just glad to see you guys again," Sun says with tears coming down her face. She wiped the tears on her face, "I still can't believe you all were able to find me all the way outside. But I never want to gave up hope." "Of course we would find you. You're our friend," Twilight says, giving Sun a hug. "Princess Twilight also helped create a map and give us the money to come here," Applejack explains. "We knew that we need to get our friend back," Rainbow says. "After everything you done for us," Falling Star adds. "We wanted to help you after the times you helped us," Adagio adds. "We love you Sun," Sonata adds. "We would do anything to get our friend back," Rarity adds. "And most of all, we are proud to have you as a friend," Aria says. Sun smiles and tears continue to fall from her face. Each of the ten girls pile up to give her a big hug. They also begin to shed tears and smile to have their friend back. Suddenly, the glowpaz necklace and the serpentine stone on Sun's head begin to glow. Daring Do and Aqua Drop gasp in surprise to see the glowpaz glowing. The necklace glow so bright it begin to surround the entire city. Soon Sun's geode necklace along with the others begin to glow a bright green glow. Suddenly out of the sky, jewelry made of glow paz fly towards the girls. Twilight and Falling Star recived brackets and transform. Then Pinkie and Sonata received glowpaz necklaces and transform. Then Rarity and Adagio transform when they received glowpaz tiaras. Aria and Rainbow gain glowpaz belts and transform. Fluttershy and Applejack transform when they received glowpaz headbands. Finally, with the serpentine stone and Somnambula's necklace, Sun transform as well. All of them transform with egyptian attire, each dress representing their color of their geode and aura. The giant serpent tries to attack the girls, but a powerful force stop the beast in its tracks. In her thoughts, Sun says to herself, "I can feel the magic inside of me… and I can feel all the hope me and my friends have." The girls then take each other's hand and with the power geodes, Somambula's necklace, and the Serpentine stone that has turned into a tiara, all of the gems unleash a magical rainbow beam with a bright green stream along with it. It hit the serpent causing it to scream in agony. Trapping it in the vortex. Soon the beast is destroyed. Sun says in her thoughts, "Thank you girls for being there for me. I never want to gave up hope that we'll be together again. And you all never gave up hope that you'll find me. I know that with this power, we'll be able to spread friendship and hope to everyone." Soon the green light surrounds the area. Soon after, the light disappears, and the beast is gone. For some strange reason, all the damages that has happened, including the statue has been all fixed up. Daring Do and Aqua are able to remove their hands after being blinded to see an incredible sight. Many of the people walk over to see this as well. Sun and her friends land on the ground and their clothes have changed, especially Sun. Everyone gasp or are in awed to see Sun in the attire. She looks exactly like Sun Goddess, Somnambula's daughter. Soon, they all begin to bow in respect. Confused Rainbow asks, "What's going on?" "It's like they're bowing towards you Sun?" Adagio questions. "It's kind of a long story," Sun nervously replies. "And it sure will make a great story," A voice comes out. They turn to see Daring Do and Aqua Drop coming towards them. "I agree it will make a great story," Pinkie replies with a smile. Aqua says, "Still I think we can agree that we're in debt to you all… especially you and Daring Do, Sun." "Me?" Sun questions. "You remind us to never give up hope, and that we shouldn't let what happened cloud our judgement. Seeing what you become now, I'm starting to wonder if you were the descendant or maybe a reincarnation of Sun Goddess," Aqua explains. "I'm not sure about that," Sun sheepishly replies. Then Sun becomes a bit serious, and says, "But what I do know is that our job is not done yet." Daring Do agrees, and says, "You're right. We still need to find Caballeron and his henchmen." "Yeah. What were they carrying while they were running out of the pyramid?" Sonata questions "Rainbow, Daring, and I have a pretty good idea. And I'll bet if we find them we'll clear this whole glowpaz mystery," Sun says. Then Rainbow shouts, "Then let's go!"
