//------------------------------// // Friendship Is Magic (Part 2) // Story: MLP Rewritten // by Eevee932 //------------------------------// The last time we left Twilight and Spike, they were sent to Ponyville by Princess Luna to check on the preparations for the Summer Moon Celebration and they met some peculiar ponies before all of them witness the return of the evil Daybreaker. "What did you do with the Princess?" The Mayor asked Daybreaker "Oh don't worry about her, I dealt with her quickly.....By sending her to the moon!" The guards tried to attack Daybreaker but to no avail, afterwards she turned into a ball of fire and escaped to outside while everypony including Twilight ran. Rainbow Dash and the other spotted Twilight and Spike heading back to the library so they chased her. Once Twilight got there she put Spike to bed and started to look for info about the Elements Of Harmony, when suddenly Rainbow Dash tackled her saying "How did you know about Daybreaker? Do you work for her? And what are the Elements Of Harmony?" Before she could say anything else Applejack stops him "Simmer down, she doesn't work for Daybreaker. But she knows what's going on. Don't you, Twilight?" " I read all about the prediction of Daybreaker. Some mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony are the only things that can stop her, but I don't know what they are, where to find them; I don't even know what they do!" Twilight tells Applejack "I found a book called The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide!" Pinkie says "How did you find that?" "It was under E!" She says while Twilight grabs the book and starts going through the pages "Let's see here.......Oh. There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty and Loyalty. The sixth is a complete mystery. It is said, the last known location of the five elements was in the ancient castle of the royal sisters. It is located in what is now the Everfree Forest." "The Everfree Forest?!" Everypony besides Twilight says while she and the others heads out towards the Everfree Forest Twilight and the other get there but before they go in there, Twilight says to them "Not so fast. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own." She tries to go into the forest but Applejack stops her saying "No can do, sugarcube. We sure ain't lettin' any friend of ours go into that creepy place alone. We're stickin' to you like caramel on a candy apple." While she says that, the others go inside the forest Once the 6 of them get inside Twilight asks them "So, none of you have been in here before?" "Ugh, heavens no! Just look at it. It's dreadful." Rarity says while looking at the ugly scenery "Plus it ain't natural. Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria." Applejack says "What do you mean by that?" Twilight asks Applejack but before she could say anything Rainbow Dash says "Nopony knows. You know why? Cause everypony who's ever come in has never come out! And I heard that there's a tribe of evil creatures lurking in the forest, waiting for somepony to come in so they can take them and do bad things!" "Rainbow, quit it." Applejack says right as the floor everypony is standing on to crumble and fall, causing everypony besides Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy to fall. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy quickly pick up Pinkie Pie and Rarity but Applejack and Twilight continue to fall and reach a cliff Twilight almost falls but manages to hold on long enough for Applejack to come and help her "Applejack! What do I do?" Twilight asks while panicking Applejack looks around seeing Rainbow and Fluttershy and the others at the bottom of the cliff, after seeing that she tells Twilight "Let go." Twilight looks at her scared and says "What! Are you crazy?" "No I ain't. I promise you'll be safe." "That's not true!" "Now listen here. What I'm sayin' to you is the honest truth. Let go, and you'll be safe." After hearing that Twilight lets go and gets helped by Rainbow and Fluttershy Applejack hops down the cliff saying "I told you would be safe." "I guess you were right Applejack." Twilight says before hearing the distant sounds of a roar "Uh...What is tarnation was that noise?" Applejack said "That sounded like a manticore to me." Fluttershy said before the 6 of the encountered the agitated manticore Everypony tried to attack it to no avail besides Fluttershy because she noticed something that the others didn't notice so she started to approach the beast slowly while everypony looked in horror. When she got close to the beast it tried to attack her but she managed to earn it's trust, allowing her to finally see the problem.....A thorn stuck in it's paw "Now this might hurt for just a second." She said just as she pulled out the thorn causing the manticore to start licking on her as her friends pass by her and the manticore "How did you know about the thorn?" Twilight asked Fluttershy "I saw it as soon as it first appeared, besides we all just need to be shown a little kindness even to the ones that are bad." "My eyes need a rest from all this icky muck." Rarity said right before the trees start to cover the sky causing to become dark "Well, I didn't mean that literally." "That ancient ruin could be right in front of our faces and we wouldn't even know it." Twilight said "Oh wait, I think I stepped in somethin'." Applejack said right as Fluttershy screamed "It's just mud." She said right as she walked into a tree with a horrible face Everypony screamed besides Pinkie who was laughing instead of screaming "Pinkie, what are you doing?! Run!" Twilight told Pinkie "Oh girls, don't you see?" She said right as she started to sing "Tell me she's not..." "She is." I don't really want to type the lyrics to the song so here's a video instead. Besides nothing changes in the song. Once they got past the trees they came across a lake with really strong waves preventing them from crossing. While this is going on Rarity heard some crying nearby and found a sad purple sea serpent "Excuse me, sir. Why are you crying?" Twilight asked him "Well, I don't know. I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when this tacky little cloud of orange smoke just whisked past me and tore half of my beloved mustache clean off, and now I look simply horrid." The sea serpent said "That's what all the fuss is about?" Applejack said "Why, of course it is. How can you be so insensitive? Oh, just look at him. Such lovely luminescent scales. "I know." "And your expertly coiffed mane." "Oh, I know, I know." "Your fabulous manicure." "It's so true!" "All ruined without your beautiful mustache." "It's true, I'm hideous!" "I simply cannot let such a crime against fabulosity go uncorrected." Rarity said before she removed a scale from the serpent "Ow! What was that for?" The serpent said before Rarity swung the scale cutting her tail off and using it to replace the damaged part of his mustache "Oh-hohohoho! My mustache. How wonderful." "You look fantastic." Rarity said "Oh, Rarity, your tail...It's cut off." Twilight said to her "Oh. It's fine, my dear. Short tails are in this season. Besides, it'll grow back." "So would the mustache..." Rainbow Dash said "Let me help you cross." The serpent said as his body formed a bridge Once they get close to the ancient castle of the royal sisters, It turn out that there a broken bridge in the way so the other send Rainbow to fix it on the other side "This should be quick and easy." Rainbow said starting to fix the bridge "Rainbow..." A voice called out to him "Who's there?" He said turning around seeing fog starting to cover the place "Rainbow..." The voice said "Show yourself! I ain't scared of you!" "We've been eagerly awaiting the arrival of the best flyer in Equestria." "Who?" "Why, you, of course." "Really? Well can you tell the Wonderbolts that? I have been wanting to get into that group for like ever!" "No, Rainbow Dash. We want you to join us, The Blazingbolts." The voice said revealing three ponys that look like Wonderbolts but different "We're the greatest aerial team in the Everfree Forest, and soon we will be the greatest in all Equestria, but first, we need a captain. "Yep it's all true. Sign me up. Just let me tie this bridge real quick and then we have a deal." "No! It's either them or us, take your pick." "Rainbow, what's taking so long? What are you doing? Are you talking to somepony? If so don't listen to them!" Twilight said to Rainbow not knowing whats going on "Thank you! For the offer, I mean, but I'm afraid I have to say no." Rainbow said to them before tying the bridge back together and flying back to her friends, not seeing the Blazingbolts turn into orange smoke "See? I'd never leave my friends hangin'." Once the six of them walked into the abandoned castle finding the Elements Of Harmony "One, two, three, four... There's only five" Pinkie Pie said seeing that there's only 5 Elements "Yea, There's only five Elements. Where's the sixth?" Rainbow said "The book said: When the five are present, a spark will cause the sixth Element to be revealed. I don't know what that means but stand back, I have a idea" Twilight said before everypony left the castle While Twilight was using her magic on the elements, something orange started to surround Twilight and the Elements before teleporting both things to a higher point in the ruined castle Once Twilight got teleported she noticed that the Elements were hovering around Daybreaker, afterwards she managed to get Daybreaker away from the elements so she could continue to try to get the sixth Element to appear but Daybreaker stops that by shattering them into multi colored shards "No, no!" Twilight shouted "You little foal! Thinking you could defeat me? Now you will never see your princess, or your moon! The day shall last forever!" Daybreaker said right before the others came to Twilight's rescue "You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you're wrong, because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right here!" Twilight said as the Element shards started to surround her friends "Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty! Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness! Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter! Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity! And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty! The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us." She said as the Element shards formed necklaces on her friends "You still don't have the sixth Element! The other Elements don't work without it!" Daybreaker shouted "But it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all... are my friends! You see, Daybreaker, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of... magic!" Twilight said as the sixth element formed a crown on her head The power of the Element were so strong they were able to defeat Daybreaker once and for all Once her friends awoken they discover that the Element necklaces looked like their Cutie Marks "Twilight! I thought you were just spoutin' a lot of hooey, but I reckon we really do represent the elements of friendship." Applejack said The moon finally raises and Princess Luna appears saying "Indeed you do. Twilight Sparkle, I knew you could do it." "But... you told me it was all an old pony tale that nopony remembers." Twilight said "I told you that you needed to make some friends, nothing more. I saw the signs of Daybreaker's return, and I knew it was you who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart. Now if only another will as well. Queen Celestia!" Luna said as she approached her big sister "Queen?!" Everypony besides Twilight shouted "It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, big sister." "Sister?!" "Will you accept my friendship?" "I'm so sorry for what I did! I missed you, little sister!" Celestia said "I've missed you, too." "Hey, you know what this calls for? A party!" Pinkie says While Celestia's return party is going on in Ponyville, Luna talks to Twilight "Why so glum, Twilight? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?" "That's just it. Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them." " Well I have a idea. Spike, take a note, please. I, Princess Luna, hereby declare that Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings from her new home in Ponyville." "Oh thank you, Princess Luna! I'll study harder than ever before." Twilight says while her friends cheer for her The end
