Meanwhile ,with the Young 6...
"After everything Twilight's done for you, why would you want to destroy her school?" Patty Peppermint said.
"We don't!" Gallus said "You're the one using these artifacts to drain magic from Equestria!"
"Me?! We all just saw you with your claws all over them!" Patty Peppermint said,then gasped "It all makes sense. These creatures want magic gone from Equestria because it's the only thing ponies have that they don't!"
"Technically, there's a magical component when Silverstream and I transform." Ocellus said.
"And Yona's friends' friendship is magic! Twilight said!" Yona exclaimed.
"And you repay her by sending her to Tartarus on a wild goose chase so you could destroy everything she built!" Patty Peppermint said,then she gasped "They've even trapped Starlight in that-that thing! We have to defend this school!"
The students tried to stop the Young 6.
"No! No, don't listen to her!" Sandbar exclaimed.
[Young Six and students shouting and grunting]
[thud!]
Gallus: [screams]
Smolder: Gallus!
Rest of Young Six: [grunting]
[cracking]
[vortex swirling]
"They just sacrificed themselves trying to save their friend."One of the students,Citrine Spark said "Professor Dash always said there's nothing more loyal than that. Shouldn't we try to save them?"
"They brought this on themselves." Patty Pepperint said "There's nothing we can do."
"That doesn't seem very generous. Or kind." Another student said.
"Yeah, yeah. The Elements of Harmony are very important." Patty Peppermint said "They're just not applicable in every circumstance. And with magic gone from Equestria, I'm not even sure the Tree of Harmony will be as helpful as it once was."
The Tree of Harmony saved the Young 6.Smolder glowed blue,Yona glowed orange,Silverstream glowed pink,Ocellus glowed White,Sandbar glowed yellow and Gallus glowed purple.
"What's happening?!" Patty Peppermint exclaimed.
"They're glowing like the Elements! I think the Tree of Harmony saved them!" One of the students said.
"Guess our friendship is pretty magical after all." Gallus said.
"Hurry! Grab the artifacts!" Ocellus said.
"Um, didn't you say that could destroy the school?" Silverstream asked.
"But if we don't try, we could lose magic forever!" Ocellus exclaimed.
"You all better get clear!" Smolder said.
The students screamed and started runing away.
"Wait! Where are you going?!" Patty Peppermint exclaimed "Stoooooop!"
Silverstream grabbed Amulet of Aurora,Ocellus grabbed the Talsiman of Mirage,Yona grabbed the Helm of Yksler,Gallus grabbed the Crown of Grover,Smolder grabbed Knuckerbocker's Shell and Sandbar grabbed Clover the Clever's Cloak.All the magic of Equestria got returned to it's rightfull owners.Princess Celestia,Princess Luna,Chancellor Neighsay,Cozy Glow and the royal guards had been walking towards the School of Friendship when they got their magic back.
"Counselor pony!" Yona exclaimed,hugging Starlight Glimmer tightly.
"Uh, it's nice to see you, too." Starlight Glimmer said as she pulled Yona away from her using her magic.
"I guess magic is back." Ocellus said.
"You've ruined everything!" Patty Peppermint exclaimed "Now Twilight and her ridiculous friends can escape from Tartarus!"
The Main 6 and Spike teleported to the School of Friendship and glared at Patty Peppermint.
"I mean... Yay! All my friends are safe!" Patty Peppermint said.
"You can drop the act,Patty Peppermint!" Applejack exclaimed "Your pen pal Tirek told us all about how he helped you suck up all that magic!"
"But I still don't understand why." Twilight Sparkle said.
"Why?! Because friendship is power!" Patty Peppermint said "You might be the Princess of Friendship, but as headmare of this school, I can collect even more friends than you!"
The students started talking amongst themselves.
"You're the one who doesn't get it, Patty." Twilight said "Friendship is powerful, but power isn't why you make friends. I'm sorry I couldn't teach you that."
"Well, you taught us." Gallus said.
"You can't let one bad apple make you think you failed." Silverstream said.
"And we never could've stopped her if we hadn't learned what you taught us about friendship." Sandbar said.
"Honesty? Loyalty? Generosity? Blah-blah-blah!" Patty Peppermint said "I can make more friends without using any of them! And if I can't do it here, I'll do it somewhere else!" She tried to fly away but some of her fellow students blocked her way.
Then she flew in another direction but Chancellor Neighsay,Cozy Glow,Princess Celestia and Princess Luna arrived and blocked her way.
"Yeah...I don't think so!" Cozy Glow exclaimed.Then Patty Peppermint looked at the sky and saw the royal guard,ready to block her if she dared to escape.
