Twilight Sparkle, Sunset Shimmer, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity were in Twilight's home the Golden Oaks Library looking for information on the elements of harmony they discovered a book that said they were in the Castle of the 2 sisters which was now in ruins the book also told what the elements were Kindness, Honesty, Laughter, Courage, Loyalty and Generosity the castle was deep in the Everfree Forest so they set out they then heard a call for help they saw one of the ponies houses was on fire and the pony was trapped inside without warning Sunset ran into the burning building the others were shocked but were more shocked when she came out levitating the pony to safety Sunset wasn't even singed they asked her how that was possible she replied that she would tell them later then they faced peril at a cliff Applejack told Twilight that she would be fine if she trusted her soon they ran into a Manticore but before Twilight could tell the others to fight it Sunset instructed them to let Fluttershy take care of it Rainbow Dash protested at first but then she relented turned out the Manticore had a thorn in its paw Fluttershy revealed she didn't know about the thorn Twilight realized that Sunset knew because of her ability to read minds then Rarity helped a sea serpent restore his moustace by cutting her tail then they found themselves surrounded by scary trees Sunset told them to get behind her for their safety but then Pinkie Pie sang a funny song that helped them through Sunset revealed she couldn't understand Pinkie Pie's mind and Rainbow Dash helped them cross a bridge they then found the castle Twilight went in alone and found the elements but couldn't figure out how to activate them Nightmare Moon then shattered the stones  "You little foal!"

She said "Thinking you could defeat me? Now you will never see your princess, or your sun! The night will last forever!"

she then started laughing twilight then heard the other calling for her and all six of the ponies she meet came into the room she said to Nightmare Moon "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." 
this suprised Nightmare Moon "What?" she asked Twilight continued "Sunset Shimmer who ran into burning building to save somepony represents Courage 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 six ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us."
Nightmare Moon then said "You still don't have the seventh element the spark didn't work!"


"But it did."


Said Twilight "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, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the seventh element: the element of... magic!"


the seven ponies started to glow and a rainbow beam shot out and hit Nightmare Moon when it cleared everypony asked if they were ok and found they had necklaces with stones that matched their cutie marks Twilight had a crown with a stone that matched hers Celestia then appeared and revealed the pony they fought was her sister Luna who then apologised and revealed how much she missed her Celestia noticed that Twilight was reluctant to leave her new friends and decreed Twilight stay and send reports Twilight then deduced that Sunset knew of Nightmare Moon's true identity due to her mind reading Sunset confirmed this and told her that she didn't think the others would belive her if she told them.
