Walking for a while, the main 6 and Spike are in front of the Everfree forest. Suddenly, Twilight stops herself and turns to the others.
Twilight sighs, "Look girls, I appreciate that you come with me. But you should go home so I can come inside alone,"
Spike retorts, "No, I can't agree with this. This is Everfree forest, the most dangerous forest in Equestria."
Twilight shouts at him, "I can let you and anypony go to the dangerous place. This is my final decision. Please go home and I will take care of this problem." Everyone is stunned when they hear that while Twilight is going deeper into the forest.
Twilight looks around and finds a way to the castle. The forest is so dark, enough to send Twilight a cold into her spine. Twilight keeps going in fear until she trips and falls into the cliff, luckily that she manages to hold herself. Now, Twilight is hanging on the cliff. The purple unicorn looks down the cliff and gulps.
"Help," Twilight shouts, "Is anypony here?" No one answers. Twilight is going to fall down and she is trying to get up. After a while, Twilight is falling down but Applejack and Spike hold her up while Rainbow Dash pushes her up, making Twilight surprised.
Twilight finally goes up off the cliff, she sighs in relief when she finally can come up. Twilight turns to the group and asks, " What are you doing here?"
Spike tilts his head and answers, "Eh... Saving you from falling down the cliff?" Twilight glares at him, making the dragon turn his head away.
Applejack retorts, "What do ya' think to go alone in the Everfree forest? Ah' help you because that is what friends are supposed to do."
Rainbow continues, "Yeah, we are friends right?"
Pinkie bounces around Twilight, " I also make a party for you and Spike."
Twilight is speechless, she didn't have a friend before. Twilight silences for a while then smiles, "Maybe I need your help. Will you help me?" Everyone nods and walks deeper into the forest.
Sunset arrives at the ruined castle, she starts to step inside the old castle and looks around. The room that Sunset steps in is like the throne room because it has two old banners and two old thrones.
"Well, well, well, is that my favorite dragon?" A voice is echoing inside the castle, "Don't worry, this time I want to talk to you." Sunset ignores that and keeps walking around the castle, the voice continues, "That's rude when you don't answer somepony is talking."
"Then give me a reason that I will talk to you?" Sunset asks back, " You are nothing in this world, Nightmare Moon."
Nightmare Moon is currently on the roof and watching Sunset is walking around the castle. She wants this dragon on her side but she knows this is not a good time, so the alicorn decides to wait for the right time.
The main 6 and Spike are running deep into the Everfree forest. Twilight leads them to the castle in a hurry. Suddenly, from the bush, a manticore rushes out of the bush and try to attack them but all of them manage to dodge it.
Applejack takes out a lasso and throws it to the manticore. The lasso is wrapped around it and she pushes to it. Rainbow is punching it while Rarity bucks it into its mouth, making the manticore yelp in pain. Twilight is attacking it with her magic while Spike starts to breathe fire.
The fight is going insane, making Fluttershy's mouth hang in there. Suddenly, she shouts, "Stop", making all of them, including the manticore, turn to Fluttershy.
The yellow pegasus is walking close to the manticore, ignoring others' instructions to stop. The manticore roars at hers and Fluttershy simply tickles its belly, making it laugh. Fluttershy says," oh poor little thing, I hope you don't hurt at all." Then she sees a spike is plugged into its paw, Fluttershy smiles, "Aw, let me help you," she helps the manticore to pull out the spike. It is so happy and licking her makes the yellow pegasus laugh.
The others are surprised when Fluttershy manages to tame that manticore that fast. The manticore is running into the forest, leaving the group alone. Twilight cheers her, "that incredible, Fluttershy."
Fluttershy blush, "thanks,"
Twilight commands, "All right, let's hurry. We got no time," all of them start running to the castle.
Sunset is still exploring the castle while Nightmare Moon keeps following her in secret. The dragon knows that as she is pretending that she doesn't know who is following her. After one hour of exploring, Sunset sits on a chair in the library room. When she just leans her back to the chair, the chair activates something. A crystal ball is rising from the table. Sunset smiles at this. She starts to transfer her mana to the crystal ball.
"Do you even know what that crystal ball is?" Nightmare Moon asks, "I hope you know what that thing does."
The crystal ball reveals Rarity, who is currently talking to a crying serpent. Sunset smirks, "If you want to talk to me, please come out. I am waiting."
Nightmare Moon hears those words and decides to come out as the orange dragon smiles. Nightmare Moon takes a seat and starts to talk, "You, dragon. Who exactly are you? Dragon can't cast any spell except some enchantment from ponies."
"Just a normal dragon who wants to live peacefully in a pony country," Sunset answers, " about how I can perform spells. Why should I tell you?"
Nightmare Moon is quite angry about the dragon's attitude, but she has to calm down to make sure that this dragon will be on her side, "I have an offer. Do you want to hear it?"
Sunset puts her claw on her cheeks as she knows what that offer is, but she decides to play along, " What is it?"
Nightmare points at the dragon, "You can be my guardian, my follower. Don't worry, I'll make sure that when I ..." Nightmare gets cut off when a fireball flies near her face. The alicorn glares at Sunset, "YOU.... "
"You know the rule, so do I," Sunset takes out the staff, " I won't let you kill this planet."
"Kill the planet? Have you lost your mind?" Nightmare Moon points at herself, " All I want is bring the eternal night,"
Sunset counters, "then how can you get warm to the planet? How can you grow crops when the sun goes down? " The questions make Nightmare Moon step back in shock as Sunset continues to ask her, "how can make the ponies out there forget about Celestia when she is doing well?"
Nightmare Moon grits her teeth and blasts the dragon but Sunset steps aside to dodge, "You think you are better than me? I am better than Celestia and you are just insulting my night," then Nightmare Moon takes a deep breath to calm down, " I know I can't defeat you so..." Nightmare's horn glowing and a blue smoke is flying outside.
Sunset knows that kind of spell and glares at Nightmare Moon, "You cast summoning spell?"
"More than create spells," Nightmare grins at the dragon. "Don't worry, they will take care of those ponies."
Sunset quickly goes out of the castle. When she just flies out the main hall, Sunset draws a magic circle and flies fast to the ponies.
The main 6 and Spike are still walking in the forest. After helping the crying serpent, Rarity feels so happy when she is able to help someone in trouble.
"I can believe we get through the forest," Rarity waves her hoof, "Even if I don't like this forest."
"Sure, Rare," Applejack teases the unicorn, "Ya' just scared of being dirty."
Twilight points at the bridge, "Hey look, there is a bridge," Twilight runs to the bridge to see but it is broken, " What? This bridge is the road to the castle."
"Nah, let me do it," Rainbow Dash lighty punches herself, "I will cross the bridge and fix it for you girl."
Spike cheers, "Good idea, Rainbow Dash,"
"Okay, Let me handle it."
Rainbow Dash flies to another side to tie the rope of the bridge. Suddenly, she hears someone call her. Look at the left, she sees three pegasuses wearing the black suit is walking to her and starts to talk, "Rainbow Dash, you are the fastest pegasus in Equestria,"
"Yes, I am the fastest pegasus in Equestria," Rainbow Dash praises herself, "And I am going to join the Wonderbolt,"
"Wonderbolt, please, who needs that?" The pegasus smirks,"You should join us, the Shadowbolt. But... The pegasus goes around Rainbow Dash, " I need a captain."
Rainbow Dash asks, "Are they the coolest?" The pegasus nod, "the greatest," the pegasus nod.
The pegasus says, "We need... You".
Rainbow Dash flies up, "Woo hoo, sign me in. Now, let me ties these ropes so my friends can pass the bridge,"
The pegasus prevents her, "No. Its them or us. Choose it."
Rainbow Dash hears Twilight screams, "Rainbow, what took you so long?" Then the cyan pegasus closes her eyes and ties the bridge.
The pegasus yells, "So you choose them. Seize her." All of the pegasuses try to get her but Rainbow Dash flies around them and makes a tornado, causing them to blow away and disappear. Then she returns to tie the bridge and everyone can cross the bridge.
Spike asks, "why did you take so long?"
Rainbow avoids the question, "well, just think too much. Anyway, let's go to the castle. The others nod and keep walking to the castle.
On the way to go to the ruined castle. Spike feels something weird, just like to tell him that something is dangerous nearby.
Twilight sees Spike like that and asks, "What wrong Spike?"
Spike replies, "I don't know. I just have an uncomfortable feeling."
Twilight teases, "Oh come on, if you worry about that orange dragon, you worry to far~,"
Spike blushes and tries to deny, "I am not. Why should I worry about her when she can manage to take down Nightmare Moon?"
Twilight nods, "Well, you're right. Honestly, I am going to ask her about magic and stuff. You should join me."
Spike rolls his eyes, "of course, Twilight. I'm always with you. We do many thing together in these years,"
Twilight and Spike laugh as they continue walking to the castle. Suddenly, six timberwolves jump out of the bush, making the ponies scared. Fluttershy comes up and tries to say, "Oh, they are just timberwolf. What a little cutie!" The yellow pegasus tries to pet the wolf but she takes her hoof back when the wolf tries to bite her.
The wolves then charge at the group. Applejack takes out her lasso while Rainbow Dash runs around to distract them. Twilight, Rarity tries to use magic to attack them while Spike breathes fire on them. Fluttershy is hiding behind Twilight and Spike.
The fire is bigger as Spike breathes at the tree. Twilight glares at him, " Spike, why do you breathe fire at the tree."
Spike counters, "at least I can create fire to prevent .." Spike sees a timberwolf rushing at Twilight, he yells, "Look out, Twilight." Spike pushes Twilight away as the wolf slashes him, making his arm bleed.
"Spike", Twilight tries to shoot at the wolf but another wolf pins her down. The wolf that just slashes Spike is going to bite him but it gets slammed by some force and creates smoke, making other wolves pay attention to it.
When the smoke fades, Spike sees Sunset is kneeling down to him and smiles, "You did a good job, Spike." Spike blushes as he turns his head away. Sunset gives him a green orb as the wolf that she just slammed fade into blue smoke. Sunset says to the green dragon, "Use that orb to your arm," then she stands up and turns to the wolves, "I will handle these wolves."
All the wolves charge at the dragon as the wolf that pins Twilight is going to bite the purple unicorn. Sunset teleports to near Twilight and takes that bite by her arm, then she uses another arm and casts "fireball" on it. The wolf is burned and changes into the blue smoke. All the wolves keep changing at the orange dragon. Sunset puts the staff on the ground and swings it, two fire waves go around the wolves, then a firewall rises from the ground, making the wolves trap inside. Sunset balls, the claw and the firewall became smaller and smaller. Until the wolves become the blue smoke and fly toward the castle.
"Problem solved," Sunset cracks her neck, "Now one more problem to solve."
"Wait," Twilight shouts at her, "Can you teach me some magic?"
Sunset smiles, "we will discuss this later," Sunset draws a magic circle on the ground. "See you at the castle of two sisters."
Nightmare Moon grasps and gets angry because that dragon keeps standing her way, she takes out the scythe, levitates it and waits for the dragon. When the dragon steps into the hall, Nightmare Moon gets up and points at the orange dragon, "You... You stand in my way a lot. I offer you to be my guardian and you just decline. Tell me what do you want from me?"
Sunset points her staff at Nightmare Moon, "I want princess of the moon, Luna, back to her beloved sister,"
Nightmare Moon grits her teeth, "There is no Luna here, only Nightmare Moon."
"So it is," then Nightmare Moon and Sunset charge at each other.
The main 6 and Spike have arrived at the ruined castle. When the group goes inside the hall, she sees Sunset and Nightmare Moon fighting each other. Rainbow sees that awesome while Fluttershy is shaking in fear.
Twilight looks at five white orbs is lying on the ground then says to her friends, "Look, it is the Elements of Harmony,"
Applejack looks at them and counts," Eh, Twilight. It only five elements and Ah' don't see the sixth one,"
Nightmare Moon sees that and flies toward Twilight. Sunset raises the ice wall to stop her but the alicorn drills through the ice wall. When she is near Twilight, she teleports the Elements of Harmony with Twilight. Sunset is surprised as she lowers the ice wall.
Spike asks in panic, "Where is Twilight?"
Sunset looks at the top of the tower, " Follow me, I know where she is." Sunset leads other to the tower
Twilight is shocked when she get teleported. When she looks around, she sees Nightmare Moon standing with the Elements. Twilight rubs her hoof on the floor and is ready to charge while Nightmare Moon looks at her in amusement, "You kidding right?".
Twilight starts to charge at the black alicorn with her horn glowing as Nightmare Moon does the same. Twilight suddenly teleports to the Elements and tries to activate it. Nightmare Moon flies toward Twilight and lands in front of the unicorn.
The elements suddenly explode, making Twilight fly away. The white orbs are connected to each other by electricity. Nightmare Moon is terrified about this but suddenly the elements is not working. Nightmare Moon laughs, "Look like the elements are not working." Then the alicorn slams on the ground, making all of the orbs shatter into pieces.
Nightmare Moon laughs, "The elements are no more. You have nothing to stop me. The night will be forever."
Twilight doesn't know what to do as she is terrified. Suddenly, she hears her friends call her and she looks at the stairs. Sunset leads the others inside the tower. At the moment her friends come inside the tower, she has enlightened something and turns to Nightmare, "You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony." Twilight closes her eyes, "I can feel the spirit of harmony still here." The main 5's body is glowing as much as they are confused then they fly with Twilight.
"No." Nightmare Moon is terrified, "This can't be happening," the alicorn tries to blast one of them but Sunset defects it.
Twilight points her hoof at the orange pony, "Applejack, who reassured Twilight when she was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty!" Then points at the yellow pegasus," Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness!" Then she points at the pink pony, "Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!" Then to the white unicorn," Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity!" And finally the cyan pegasus, " And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty!"
Sunset smirks, "Look like you lose, Nightmare Moon,"
The alicorn glares at the dragon, " but you don't have the sixth element,"
Sunset turns to the flying group and smirks, "Let's find out the last elements, shall we?"
Twilight points her horn at Nightmare Moon, " You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the spark that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of... magic!” Then she blasts a big rainbow laser at Nightmare Moon.
"No, No. This can be happening," Nightmare Moon lightens her horn to teleport away but Sunset teleports behind her and grabs her horn and body to keep her. Nightmare Moon tries to struggle out of the grasp, "Let me go, you crazy dragon."
"Never," the laser goes through both of them and shines. Sunset is slammed into the wall and sighs, "Mission complete." She looks back at Nightmare Moon and the alicorn slowly turn back to Luna. The sun is coming back once again as Sunset hopes that it can rise like this.
The main 6 is lying on the ground and seems tired from what happens. One by one, they stand up as Spike runs to Twilight.
Spike asks, "You okay, Twilight?"
Twilight rubs her head, "I'm fine," then Spike hugs her, make the unicorn smile.
Rarity looks at the others and see something news, "Oh that just amazing,"
Applejack looks at Rarity and asks confusingly, "What is amazing?
"Your neckache," Rarity points at Applejack's neck, "They look so pretty."
Twilight hears Rarity's words as she looks back to them. She sees all of them have golden necklaces, which have their cutie mark. Spike looks at the purple unicorn and says, "Look Twilight, you have a tiara,"
Twilight looks up and finds that she has a tiara. The tiara got her cutie mark too. Rainbow Dash sees the necklace and cheers, "Yeah, this looks so cool. Woohoo '' and all of them cheers each other, Pinkie also bounces around them while Sunset just leans against the wall and smiles.
Applejack sighs in relief, "Ah' can't believe that we do represent the elements of friendship."
"Indeed you do," A voice comes behind them, makes the ponies and Spike looks back. They see a familiar white alicorn. All of them bow to their princess as she nods. Celestia comes to Twilight and congratulates her student, "My faithful student, Twilight. I am right when I put your trust on you,"
Twilight retorts," but you said that just an old pony tale."
Celestia giggles, "and I said that you come here to make friends, nothing more." She walks around, "When I saw the sign of Nightmare Moon's return. I know it was you who had power and courage but you could not unleash it until you learned the true meaning of friendship in your heart." Then she looks at the blue alicorn.
"Princess Luna," all of them except Sunset shout. The small blue alicorn looks up and grasps
Princess Celestia walks to Luna and says,
“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, little sister.” then she hugs her sister and her tears fall down, "Will you accept my friendship, little sister?"
"I....I accept" Princess Luna hugs back as their tears fall down. Sunset sees that moment and sighs in relief, then she continues to lean back against the wall.
After hugging for a while, they release and walk to the main 6 and Spike. Luna asks them, "So, who is that orange dragon?"
Celestia's eyes widens and sáy, "Really? You really make friend with a dragon."
Twilight sighs," She is a magic dragon who lives in the Golden Oak library, and ... She will live with me and Spike."
Celestia nods and giggles," I see... wait what do you mean magic dragon?"
"It means I can cast magic," Sunset answers from their back, making the Sister turn back and look at her, "Really, I don't see anything that big."
Twilight put her face near the dragon face, "Not big. NOT BIG. Seriously, you can take down Nightmare Moon and you said that it's not big." Celestia hears that and looks at the dragon, she feels familiar with this orange dragon, like she meets her somewhere else.
Applejack continues, "Not mention about ya the only dragon that can cast magic,"
Sunset sighs in annoyance, "Look, I will go back to the library and continue to study magic. See you all soon." Sunset walks to the window and going to fly away
"Wait," Celestia shouts
Sunset turns her head to the white alicorn," what now?"
Celestia asks, "Can you tell me who you are?"
Sunset silence for a while then answers, "My name is Sunny. Nice to meet you," then she starts to fly back to the library. Now, her secret is revealed and she has nothing to hide from her friends, right?. This day is a massive one for her but it has not ended yet.
