AT CANTERLOT HIGH
The Human Six and Spike fought the demonized students at the school. They had to be really careful not to harm them too much as they were under Sunset Shimmer’s spell. Pinkie sprayed confetti and cupcakes at one before he could touch her. The cupcakes struck his eyes, thus blinding him. Applejack then wrapped a lasso around his legs and brought him down.
Rainbow Dash sped through the hallway to outrun another monster who viscously chased her down. She stopped at Principal Celestia’s office where she and vice principal Luna were hiding. Looking back to see the demon getting close, she had to think fast.
Moments later, the demonic student arrived at the shut door of the office. He tried to open it, but it was locked. Frustrated, he banged on the door to force it open. Then he grabbed the door knob and tried to turn it while pulling it. As he struggled, the door abruptly unlocks and opens wide enough where the door knocked him out. He fell unconscious.
Rainbow exited the door and took Celestia and Luna to a safer area. Rarity shielded herself with her diamond magic from the assaults of two other demonized students. Before they could break her shield, Fluttershy summoned birds to peck at them and distract them long enough for Twilight to trip them with a baseball bat.
Applejack tied them and two last students up while she rounded the rest of the defeated ones. The Human Six regrouped and stood side by side together. Twilight began working on her meditative magic to bring the students back to normal. She strained hard as Sunset’s spell was difficult to undo. Unfortunately, the students remained in their demon forms.
“It’s no use! Sunset’s spell is too strong even for my magic! I can’t bring them back to normal!” Twilight said.
“We have to find another way! Can you, like, immobilize them or something?” Rainbow suggested.
“I’ll give it a try.” Twilight said. She made a spell on the struggling demonic students where they stopped and slowly fell asleep while being tied up. They closed their eyes and snored.
“It worked! Great idea, Dash!” Spike said.
“They will only be out for about six hours. So we don’t have much time. Come on! We have to go to Equestria and save my family and friends out there!” declared Twilight.
“YAAAAAAYY!! That’s where we will become ponies instead of still being humans, right? That will be so much fun!!” Pinkie squealed.
“Ponies? So...we will change appearances when we will stop by your world?” Applejack asked Twilight. She nodded with a comforting smile.
“Yes. I know it will feel a little weird, but eventually, you will get used to it. I’m sure you won’t freak out over it.” Twilight said.
The girls looked at each other nervously until they nodded to Twilight. Nodding back, she lead them, carried Spike outside the school, and brought them before the statue. “Okay, girls, are you all ready for this?” Twilight asked. They nodded again.
“Okay. On count of three, we enter through the hidden portal. One...two...” Twilight counted.
“THREE!!” Pinkie shouted, jumping right into the statue. The portal took her in while she made squeals of pure excitement. The girls except Applejack just stood surprised as to why she did that.
“Um, okay?” Twilight muttered.
“Well, that is just Pinkie Pie for ya. Better not question every single thing she says or does.” Applejack nonchalantly said.
“Okay then. Let’s just go.” said Twilight. They all entered through the portal one by one. They all screamed as they were spinning around while being dragged into another dimension.
As they exited the crystal mirror, they all rose up on their feet...or hooves in that moment. The human-turned-pony mane five gazed on their new looks and slightly darker colors as well as their strange tattoos on their flanks. “My goodness...I look...FABULOUS!! My, what a magnificent imprinting on my...uh...bottom I must say!” Rarity said.
“That’s called a cutie mark. It represents the specific talent you possess that identifies who you are and what your personality is. It speaks of your future and your destiny.” Twilight informed.
“That’s cool! Look at me! Whoa, whoa!!!” Rainbow said, trying to fly with her wings. She crashed against...a bush. She spit the leaves out of her mouth. “Where are we?”
They looked around and saw themselves in the Everfree Forest. Twilight started to be confused. “Wait a minute, why are we here? The crystal mirror is supposed to take us inside the Crystal Empire. That’s where it is supposed to be!” Twilight said.
“Um, Crystal Empire? What’s that place?” Fluttershy asked.
“Yeah, and this is the...’crystal mirror’?” Rainbow asked, lifting the heavy mirror up.
“The Crystal Empire is where Princess Cadence and Shining Armor live and reign. They are my relatives.” Twilight explained.
“WHO GOES THERE?!” a stern Canterlot voice was heard. Twilight, Spike, and the not-mane five turned their heads around to find whose voice that was.
“Who was that?!” Fluttershy cried.
“Is this forest haunted?!” Rarity asked, shaking fearfully.
“Oh! Oh! Is it Bigfoot?!” Pinkie giddily asked.
They all stared at her. “What? It could be possible!” Pinkie shrugged.
Suddenly, Princesses Celestia and Luna flew out of the trees with their horns charged. But the moment they set their eyes on Twilight, they froze in complete bewilderment. They ceased igniting their horns and landed on the grass before her. “Twilight?! You’re alive?!” Celestia said.
“Princesses!! CELESTIA!!” Twilight cried. They hugged each other with tears falling. “I’m glad you’re okay!”
“How? I...I thought you were...gone! Sunset told us she destroyed you!” Celestia stuttered.
“I was able to use a teleportation spell to save myself and my friends—well, my semi-new friends.” Twilight sheepishly smiled. Celestia noticed them as she pointed to them.
“Wait, weren’t they just with us here in the forest?” Luna asked. Celestia looked behind her and saw the actual Mane Five run up to them. Then she became slightly amazed.
“Twilight! Spike! You guys are okay!” pony Rainbow Dash said before spotting the human-turned ponies standing with Twilight and Spike. “Hey, those ponies...look like us!”
Then there was a moment of silence as opposite identical ponies awkwardly stared at each other. “Well...this is...weird.” Spike whispered.
