Meanwhile, keeping watch from the Palace Patio, Sugarplum examined all the Realm landscape to view which of the Realms she would start her “plans” first after she’ through with Mother Ginger and the Fourth Realm. That is until something caught her attention. She pulled out her telescope to get better look. What she saw was the Giant Mechanical Mother Ginger marching on the warpath toward the Palace.
Without hesitation, she ordered the palace gate to be lowered for the Tin Soldiers to march to the Fourth Realm to commence the attack. Coming out from the Fourth Realm are the six Polichinelles rolling toward the Tin Soldier army to due battle as each side were coming toward each other, the Polichinelles continued rolling while the Tin Soldiers drew out their swords. The Pollichinelles then crashed into the army knocking them down and off guard. Sugarplum used her fairy wings to fly over her marching army and noticed the attack.
“Never you all mind those rollie pollie clowns,” Sugarplum ordered, “It’s Mother Ginger I want!!”
The Tin Soldiers got up as ordered and continued marching to the Fourth Realm, ignore the Polichinelles as they entered the Palace with not having suspecting them.
Back in the Engine room, Clara started to sneak around and viewing a few Tin Solider guards patrolling around with one on the Engine controls continuing in making more and more Tin Soldiers to the army. Clara had to figure a way to get past those guards and by noticing a box full of toy mice, she had an idea. She took the box and got the toy mice out, began winding up the keys and set them scurrying loose. The Tin Guards noticed and took the bait as they tried to slice them down with their swords. With the guards distracted, Clara snuck over to the medal water wheel and began to turn them slowing, there by slowing down and stopping the water wheels. Soon as she was finished Clara then hid behind another crate but accidentally knocked down a box full of toy toppers. The sound got the attention of the Tin Soldier guards as they spotted Clara and then went over to capture her. Clara made a run for it while dodging and pushing the Tin Soldiers out of her way.
Meanwhile in the fourth realm, the tin army entered and came face to face with the Mechanical Mother Ginger, they commence the charge attack on it. The giant then started to sweep away the army with her arms and using any tree to brush off and smack down the army. Unfortunately, the Tin Army gained the upper hand by climbing on the giant and overpower it as it came tumbling down.
Sugarplum flying over the battle cheered, “Victory is ours! Come out Mother Ginger!”
Sugarplum then saw something coming out of the Mechanical being, unexpectedly it was Philip, Chet, Twilight and her friends, Spike and Wiser, much to Sugarplum’s surprise.
“The Nutcracker? The Gecko Warrior? The Princess Pony and her friends? The Dragon? And The Owl?” Sugarplum shouted angrily.
“Who were you expecting? The Storm King Goons?” Spike joked as the group laughed.
“WHERE IS MOTHER GINGER?!?!” Sugarplum shouted.
“Carrying out the plan,” Chet stated with a smug look on his face.
“Get them!!” Sugarplum ordered
The group then started to run.
“That’s right come and get us!” Philip called out as the Tin Soldiers marched after them, leading them away from Sugarplum who then took a gander back to the Palace and noticed that the Waterwheels stopped working, she got suspicious and started to fly over.
The group continued to lead the army away from Sugarplum until they stopped and prepared for battle.
“No matter the cost, I’m ready,” Philip spoke as he drew out his sword.
“Correction. We’re ready!” Chet as he drew out his swords corrected Philip as the group nodded.
Suddenly appearing right beside them were Mouserinks and Ratsputtle as the other mice started to gather round and form the Mouse King. Along side him were several hundred of the Mice Minions who all stood ready to fight.
“Ew,” Rarity being disgusted, “I never thought I'd be fighting alongside these rodents.”
“Hey just be grateful they’re on our side,” Applejack rolled her eyes
“Now my friends,” Philip began, “Let’s show these tin cans what are we made of!”
The group cheered and the mice squeak cheered as they all charged to battle. Rainbow flying and crashing through the army with her aerial attack, Applejack used her lasso and buck pony kicks against the soldiers, Pinkie Pie firing her Party Cannon at them, Rarity using her unicorn magic to blast her way through, Spike flying around and breathing fire on the army, Wiser using his owl talons to pick up and soldier and throwing it against the others, Fluttershy on top of the Mouse King lead the mice charge as they attack the tin soldiers and overpowering them, Philip using his sword to slice and slash his way through the Tin army, Twilight flying around and blasting at the army with her Alicorn magic, and finally Chet used his double katana to slash his way through while performing tail whips, punches and spinning kicks knocking several tin soldiers out of his path.
Back in the engine room, Clara continued to fight off the Tin Soldiers. Suddenly a Polichinelle clown came rolling over and opened his gut and out came Mother Ginger herself, feeling a little dizzy from all that rolling around.
“Mother Ginger?” Clara gasped.
“At your service, your majesty. Duck!” Mother Ginger responded as she whipped out her red whip and attacked a Tin Solider from behind Clara. Mother Ginger then whipped another one behind her as well.
“I’ll try to rearrange the mechanisms of the Engine,” Clara spoke.
“Go! I’ll handle this lot,” Mother Ginger replied as she continued to fight out the Tin Guards as Clara then headed for the adjustment section of the Engine.
As the battle continued on, Chet spotted Sugarplum flying over them as Chet turned and spotted where Sugarplum was going, the Palace.
“Guys, Sugarplum must’ve figure out whats’s up. She’s heading back for the Palace. We gotta head back and help Clara and Mother Ginger,” Chet called out.
“We can’t abandon the area yet!” Philip replied as he continues to slice down another tin soldier, “We need to push them back a little more!”
“I’ve got this!” Spike called from above as he then swooped down and started to breath fire again, this time creating a wall of fire separating the group from the tin soldiers. By the time he finished he called out, "Now we can go.”
“Good job, Spike!” Twilight commended, “Everyone quickly back to the Palace!”
The group then started to rush back toward the Fourth Realm gate. They then noticed army enter through the fire and continued to march towards them.
As they ran, Fluttershy spoke up, “Mouserinks and Ratsputtle just told me to keep going ahead. They say they and all the other mice will continue to hold the Tin Soldiers back.”
“If they're sure they all can handle them,” Twilight replied.
Fluttershy looked at Mouserinks and Ratsputtle who nodded their heads, “They’re sure of this”
“Very well. Be safe my two little friends” Philip told the two mice.
The group ran ahead as the two mice on top of the Mouse King then lead the charge again to keep the tin army distracted.
The group then got out of the Fourth Realm and head to the Palace as fast as they could in hope to help their friends.
