We first see Starswirl looking at the telescope and he then looked to his fellow Pillars and Stygian.
“Ready yourselves friends, those villains could show up any time now.” Starswirl said sternly.
“Of course Starswirl we’re be prepared for their arrival.” Sonambula nodded.
Soon Starswirl caught sight of Tirek on a rock pillar before he jumped down to the Pillar’s level.
“Well if it isn’t the one who turned my brother against me. Starswirl The Bearded. How long has it been?” Tirek smirked.
“Scorpan did not betray you, your arrogance made you blind to how good it feels to actually care about others.” Starswirl argued angrily.
“Regardless, I came to have a refill of power so I’ll be taking that now, thank you.” Tirek began using his magic to blast the Pillars separating them.
Soon Meadowbrook put on her mask and charged at Tirek knocking him back a bit but soon he charged back at Meadowbrook making her fall over, before he could take her magic Flash Magnus and Sonambula began flying near his face blocking his vision which annoyed him greatly so he zapped the two Pegasi and sent them hurtling to the ground piling on Meadowbrook.
Mistmane soon began to blast Tirek but he blocked it with his arm before Rockhoof tackled Tirek while he was off guard.
It was a big struggle but Tirek overpowered Rockhoof and picked him up to throw him at Mistmane causing them both to fall in the pile as well.
Soon the five Pillars were drained of their magic by Tirek, Starswirl finally regained his consciousness to see Tirek absorbing his friends’ magic and soon he finished licking his lips in satisfaction.
Starswirl knew he was the Pillar’s only hope and began charging up his horn for a powerful blast which caused Tirek to fall to the ground and soon Tirek launched a powerful blast of his own which Starswirl countered with some magic of his own they were in a heated laser battle, they were equally matched but soon Tirek slowly got the upper hand and overpowered Starswirl sending him to the ground and finally absorbed his magic.
“Hmm, the perfect dessert to a legendary meal.” Tirek smirked.
Grogar soon teleported next to Tirek, “Excellent work Tirek, now to take care of these Pillars.”
Grogar then teleported the pillars away which made Tirek raise an eyebrow, “Where’d you take them?”
“Somewhere where they won’t be bothering us anytime soon.” Grogar smirked.
Soon we cut to Starlight, Trixie, and Sunburst evacuating the students underground.
“Stay with your buddies and keep yourselves hidden.” Starlight instructed everyone.
Soon we hear a voice that had haunted Starlight, “Starlight, Star Bright, where’s the pony I want to fight.” Chrysalis sang from outside.
Starlight soon sighed, “I have to go, think you two can handle the escape for me?”
“Nopony can do a better escape than the Great and Powerful Trixie.” Trixie reassured her.
“But we’re more worried about you, Chrysalis is really powerful Starlight.” Sunburst said.
“Please tell us you’ll make it.” Trixie told her friend.
Starlight sighed, “I don’t know if I will make it guys, but no matter what happens you two will always be some of the best friends I could ask for.” She then put Sunburst and Trixie in a group hug.
“If I don’t make it, you two look out for each other okay.” Starlight said.
Trixie and Sunburst both nodded.
“Good, now I gotta go.” Starlight said in tears before Trixie and Sunburst closed the underground doorway. Starlight wiped her tears off and gained a determined expression before she teleported to the school roof to face Chrysalis.
“Ah, Just the Headmare I wanted to see.” Chrysalis smirked.
“You didn’t make an appointment.” Starlight growled before lunging at Chrysalis and teleporting them both away to mountains of snow.
“Where are we?!” Chrysalis commanded.
“Someplace you can’t hurt anypony.” Starlight said angrily.
“Wrong! I can hurt you!” Chrysalis said angrily before jumping to tackle Starlight before the latter teleported away.
Starlight then teleported to the top of a mountain and blasted Chrysalis from behind angering the unreformed changeling which made her try to blast Starlight but she teleported to underneath a snowy mountain.
“You’ll pay for that!” Chrysalis seethed.
“Put it on my tab.” Starlight smirked before teleporting to the air where she blasted the top of the snowy mountain and caused an avalanche causing Chrysalis to be crushed in snow.
Starlight looked on in remorse and sighed in disappointment, “I wish I could’ve helped you, I’m sorry Chrysalis.”
Starlight soon began to light up her horn when she saw a green light and realized Chrysalis was about to break out of the snow, so she acted fast and teleported away from the snowy mountain.
Chrysalis soon broke free from the snow and looked for any signs of Starlight.
“Where is that unicorn?!” Chrysalis asked incredulously before sighing in anger.
“No matter, I will eventually get my revenge on that menace but for now I need to meet the others at Canterlot.” Chrysalis grumbled before teleporting away from the mountains.
We then cut to Twilight flying near the throne while we see Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Spike, Celestia, Luna, Discord, and the guards listening to her.
“We faced many enemies before and always prevailed, that wouldn’t be possible without all of you.” Twilight said, “But now three of our most dangerous villains have returned along with Grogar himself, I know things seem bad but as long as we stick together no pony can take us down.”
“OH COME ON!” A childlike voice was heard before some guards were seen on a pile which Cozy Glow levitated over as she flew.
“Where’d you get that; a daily friendship lesson, yeeesh.” Cozy Glow rolled her eyes.
“Cozy Glow?!” Twilight asked incredulously.
“We’re about to wipe the floor with you.” Cozy Glow said as he blasted Discord onto Twilight’s throne.
“Oof, Grogar’s magic does pack a punch.” Discord groaned before standing in defiance, “But I won’t be standing down anytime soon.”
“Hmph, stubborn are we. That’ll change very soon.” Cozy Glow smirked before firing a laser at the guards knocking them out.
Celestia and Luna soon flew over to Cozy Glow with glares before igniting their horns together to create a powerful blast which Cozy Glow dodged.
Rainbow Dash soon flew past Cozy Glow in lightning speed making the filly dizzy.
She soon came face to face with Pinkie Pie holding a party cannon who was levitated by Rarity.
Pinkie soon blasted the party cannon in Cozy’s face making her cough a bit.
“Fly my pretties.” Fluttershy said as she directed a bunch of geese to attack Cozy Glow which she blasted in anger.
Applejack then lassoed her to the ground making everyone in the room surround her.
Cozy Glow seethed in anger before using her horn to use a laser to blast everyone away.
Soon she saw a bright flash of light and knew who was here.
Soon a burst of magic penetrated the stain glass window breaking it.
Soon Tirek, Chrysalis, and Grogar jumped in making Twilight summon a shield to protect her friends.
“You think that pathetic shield can stop us, Princess.” Grogar smirked, “The Pillars have been overpowered, your school is abandoned, face it Twilight you’ve lost.”
“You can attack us and we may fall but Equestria will still stand, united in friendship and harmony, and we won’t stop no matter if you take us down.” Twilight said angrily.
Grogar soon laughed at this speech as well as the trio of villains.
“Didn’t you all notice something was wrong?” Grogar asked with a smirk, “We’ve been busy.”
“A whisper here, a rumor there.” Chrysalis began.
“Destroyed some crops, caused some damage.” Tirek continued.
“Turn pony against pony.” Cozy Glow finished.
“Until the whole kingdom is at edge, waiting for just one tiny thing to push them over the edge.” Grogar explained, “There’s no backup ponies or rainbow magic to save you now!”
Grogar soon got a devious idea in mind, “You know what’s stronger than friendship Twilght?”
Grogar then pounced on her alicorn shield hard, “FEAR!”
Twilight’s barrier soon collapsed as she screamed in horror.
“Because when you have to protect yourself you don’t have time for anypony else!” Grogar levitated Twilight towards her before preparing a finishing blow which shocked Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow a bit, while they hated Twilight they never exactly pulled a stunt like this before.
Soon a blast of magic got in Grogar’s eyes making him drop Twilight.
Twilight looked over to see Discord blowing on his finger with a smirk.
“Attack!” Grogar commanded the trio. Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow recovering from their shock at what Grogar almost did, soon began their assault on Twilight and her friends but everyone soon began attacking except Twilight and Spike.
Cozy Glow was currently in a laser match with Rarity, Applejack currently lassoed Chrysalis while Pinkie Pie was on her Bach Rainbow Dash has Grogar in a headlock, and she was struggling to keep hold of him as well while Celestia, and Luna were also stalling Tirek. Discord soon grabbed Twilight and Spike and lead them out of the throne room.
“Twilight go get help with Spike, we’ll hold them off until you get back.” Discord commanded.
“No we can’t leave you all here.” Twilight refused.
“It’s our only chance. You’ll find someway to save us.” Discord said, “I believe in you and I know they do too.”
“But it’s too dangerous and...” Twilight said Before Spike grabbed onto her hoof.
“Twilight let’s go, I got your back. Plus I think they’ll be fine. They’ve all survived stuff like this before.” Spike reassured her.
“Okay, I’ll go. Discord take care of our friends.” Twilight said.
“I promise.” Discord nodded before Twilight used her magic to teleport both her and Spike away.
Soon Discord went back in the throne room to see Grogar, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow have sent Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash to the ground with Celestia and Luna looking defiant horns flared up.
“Give up already we’ve already defeated your Elements Of Harmony so just surrender.” Grogar commanded.
Discord looked at how much pain his friends were in, and saw that they were outnumbered and overpowered. He only knew one thing he could do to protect everyone around him.
Discord soon snapped his fingers and in a bright light and teleported them away from the castle.
“Wh-Where did they go?!” Chrysalis asked incredulously.
“Ugh that Draconequus is so irritating.” Tirek growled.
“Well he must’ve realized they were outmatched, I commend his resourcefulness but it’s time we start claiming our territory starting here!” Grogar said before igniting his bell and the castle began to change, it soon began to rebuild and turned dark blue with some black edges.
“The Evolution of Grogar’s Empire has begun.” Grogar smirked.
