"Are you okay?" Twilight Sparkle asked her students.
There was no answer. Instead the Student Six burst into laughter.
"Didn't you all notice something was wrong in Equestria?" said Silverstream. "We've been busy."
"A whisper here, a rumor there..." said Gallus.
"Destroy some crops, cause some damage..." said Sandbar.
"Until your whole kingdom is on edge, waiting for just one tiny thing to push them over the brink!" said Smoulder.
"There's no backup friends or rainbow magic to save you now!" said Ocellus.
"Yona think it time for some redecorating!" said Yona.
And the Student Six all used their new evil powers given by Grogar to destroy a section of Canterlot.
"You know what's stronger than friendship, Twilight? Fear!" said Sandbar.
"'Cause when you have to protect yourself, you don't have time for anypony else," said Silverstream.
"Too bad you never taught that in school!" yelled Ocellus.
The Mane Six, Starlight, Spike, and the princesses felt extremely betrayed. How could their own students do this to them?!?
Celestia and Luna cast a magic shield to defend every pony from the Student Six.
Meanwhile, in another part of Canterlot, the Mean Six were trashing the place. Evil Pie Hater Dash was stomping on all the pies. Eviljack was writing lies on the walls. Unfortunately for them, Grogar was looking at this through his orb. He teleported himself to them in fury.
"THAT IS NOT WHAT I ASKED YOU TO DO," shouted Grogar.
"Yes it is," lied Eviljack.
"Shut up, shut up, a million times, SHUT UP," yelled Grogar. "I want you six to go stall those six puny ponies while I think up the next part of my plan!"
All of a sudden, Grogar started to power up again. He was now in his fourth form.
"Yes," he said. "My powers are finally returning." He started to grow wings so he could fly all around, causing damage.
"Hey!" said Pinkamena. "How come you get more powerful, and we don't?"
"Oh don't you see," said Grogar. "I am far more powerful than you six will ever be. Once I am all-powerful, I will finally become emperor of this land, ONCE AGAIN!" He laughed wickedly. The powered-up Mean Six laughed nervously along with him.
Meanwhile, the powered-down terrible trio was lying down in the cave, bored.
“We can find a way out” said Cozy Glow, “I just know it.”
“Nonsense,” said Chrysalis. “We’re stuck here forever.”
Tirek sighed as his stomach growled. “I’m starving,” he said. “It’s hopeless. We’ll never get out.”
“Grogar said we needed to work together,” said Cozy Glow.
“He just tricked into working together so that he could have his bell,” said Tirek.
“Yes” said Cozy, “but I learned a thing or two when I worked together with you two. How ‘bout this… Chrysalis and I give you some of our mag- oh, right,” she noticed. “We don’t have any magic.”
All of a sudden, Chrysalis got an idea. “Let’s dig our way out!”
Cozy and Tirek weren’t so sure about this idea, but Chrysalis made them do it anyway.
Meanwhile, back in Canterlot, everyone was reluctantly fighting the Student Six. When they cast their magic beams at Starlight, she tried to dodge them with her magic, but for some reason, she couldn’t use magic!
“W… wha?” said Starlight, confused.
Twilight did the same, but she couldn’t use magic either!
“Ha ha!” Sandbar laughed. “You can’t use your magic because it has been disabled!”
“By who?” asked Twilight.
“Oh, that’s a secret,” laughed Sandbar.
Twilight gulped. Everypony continued to try to fight the evil Student Six but Twilight was still in shock. She tried to speak to her friends, but they were too busy fighting.
“Go, Twilight! Get help!” said Rarity.
“We'll hold 'em 'til you get back!” said Applejack.
“No! I can't leave you here!” said Twilight.
“It's our only chance!” said Fluttershy.
“You'll come up with something to save the day!” said Rainbow Dash.
“You always do!” said Pinkie Pie.
“We believe in you!” said Spike.
Twilight Sparkle knew that Equestria was in great danger. But she just didn’t know how she could warn her friends.
Back in the cave, Cozy, Chrysalis, and Tirek were still digging their way out with all of their might, but they still couldn’t get out. All of a sudden, they heard a voice.
“WHO’S THERE?” it boomed.
Cozy and Tirek cowered in fear but Chrysalis sighed.
“Don’t be ridiculous,” she said. “It’s just a voice.”
But Chrysalis began to cower along with her fellow villains when she saw the shadow of a very angry-looking mare. Everyone cowered in fright as the shadow came closer. The shadow turned out to be that of - Gusty the Great!
“Who dares enter my cave?” Gusty asked.
“It’s not our fault,” said Cozy Glow. “Grogar trapped us here.”
“Who did?!?” Gusty said in shock.
“Grogar,” said Tirek. “Wait a minute… are you who I think you are?”
“Maybe,” said Gusty. “I am Gusty the Great. And from what it seems, Grogar has returned.”
“He has,” Tirek said. “And WOW! Gusty the Great?!? You’re still alive?!?”
“I have been guarding this cave for millennia and millennia,” said Gusty the Great.
“W-we’ve heard all sorts of stories about you,” Chrysalis said in shock.
“Will you help us get out of here?” Cozy Glow asked. “We promise that we will give you something in return. Right?”
Chrysalis and Tirek nodded their heads.
Gusty thought for a few moments. She wasn’t so sure if she could trust these three. She took a deep breath.
“Sorry,” she said. “I’ve been in these caves for so long that I don’t really trust anyone around here. Forgive me.”
“All is forgiven,” said Chrysalis.
“Thank you,” said Gusty.
The four of them trotted back to the entrance of the cave, but Gusty gasped. “It’s gone!”
“What’s gone?” asked the LOD.
“The bell!” said Gusty. “Grogar’s bell is gone!”
“Uh… we took it,” said Cozy Glow.
“You… you what?!?” Gusty gasped. This made her FURIOUS.
Cozy Glow, Chrysalis, and Tirek knew they were in big trouble. They all gulped.
