[Boss Battle: 2 brainwashed changeling guards]
The three fillies get ready to battle. Filly Applejack takes out one of the fire flowers and soon, the three fillies began rapidly throwing fireballs at both of the changelings giving them a lot of damage.
One of the changeling guards began lighting up their horn and targeted Filly Applejack, but she jumped of the way in time. He then does the same thing to Filly Rainbow Dash and Filly Rarity, but both fillies dodged the blast.
Filly Rainbow Dash takes a turn and jumps on the one on the left, and Filly Rarity jumps on the same one as Filly Rainbow Dash.
The brainwashed changeling guards repeat their pattern only for them to miss their target. The fillies use a green shell this time and kicks it at one of the changeling guards and takes him out. The remaining guard repeats his pattern and still missed the fillies. After a few more jumps, the last changeling guard was defeated.
[Boss Battle over]
One of the changeling guards starts to regain their consciousness.
"Whoa... My helmet antenna! It's broken! Oh, man, YESSS!" The first one said.
"Hey... Mine broke too! Talk about lucky! I mean didja HEAR what was coming out of my mouth." The other one said.
"I know, dude! Seriously, who talks like that?! Anyway, I think these little fillies freed us!"
"Ya think? You little taters trashed our antennas?"
The three fillies nodded, and then jumped in joy.
"Right ON! Seriously, thanks! You saved our bacon. We were... not right in the head."
"So listen, you gotta let us thank you by hooking you up with these spare hammers!" Both of the changelings give the fillies one hammer each.
"You got hammers!" The screen read.
"Now you can be Hammer Fillies!" The changeling told them. "But we'd better teach you how to use 'em first."
"Ready to learn the ABC's of hammering stuff?" One of the changelings said.
"We'll explain from up top, so open those eyes ladies!" The other changeling instructed.
"OK, here's step one... Press R to change the action icons into a little hammer dealie and a spinny thingamajig. When those icons change, X and Y do different things... More on that in a sec'"
"Once you've changed the action icons with R, all you have to do is press X."
"That'll make Filly Applejack swing her hammer. WHACK! She can smash obstacles and smack walls and stuff. Give it a shot little filly!"
One of the changeling guards appeared in front of them. "I'll be waiting up ahead!" He tells them.
Both fillies follow Filly Applejack and she uses the hammer to break the crate that's in front of her.
"Nice!" The changeling commented.
She breaks the second one, then the third crate, then the fourth, and the last one while getting comments along the way.
"Yeah! Pow! Unh! Sweet!"
They reach the end and meet up with the changeling.
"All right, you're a natural kid! And now it's time to learn some second hammer action." It said. "This one rules. It'll let you tunnel underground and pass below gates and stuff. Like I told ya earlier, press R to change the action icon."
"Then press Y. That'll put you in a shoulder-stand, then press Y again! BRRZZZP! You'll tunnel into the ground like a filly drill! Pretty cool, am I right?"
The other changeling appears in front of them. "You oughta be able to go right under this barrier here! To pop back up, just press X or Y! Let's see it in action." He explains.
"Rock it, ladies!"
Filly Rarity hops on Filly Applejack's back, and Filly Rainbow Dash hops on Filly Rarity and has the hammer with her. Filly Rainbow Dash spins around, and the next thing that happens, all three of them are underground and go beneath the gate. They pop right out from under the ground and reach and locked gate. The three fillies repeat the following pattern and get through the barrier, then come across some more crates.
A changeling guard is waiting for them on the crates where there's steel flooring. "One thing I forgot. You can't tunnel into that hard-looking floor in front of you there." He reminded the fillies, then he disappeared.
Once again, Filly Applejack took the lead and takes out her hammer and smashes the crates in front of them. They reach another barrier and did their tower formation and spun underground allowing them to go under the barrier and come back up. They reach the end where there's a changeling on the ! block and hits it.
"So endeth the hammer practice little buds!" One changeling said.
"Oh wait, we've got one last bit of special info for you." The other changeling said. "While you're out adventuring, look for suspicious marks.
"When you see these marks, drill underneath and then pop back out!"
"If you come under a mark, you'll get a bean, tots!"
"If you collect lots of beans, good things will come your way."
"And that's all we've got to tell you taters!"
"Use those hammers to hurry up and rescue your friends!"
"Let's break, Bro!"
Both changelings leave, and the practice trial ends.
The fillies leave the current room they were in and head off to find their future selves. They went into another room and approached a barrier. Using their training skills, they got into their tower formation again with Filly Applejack on the bottom, Filly Rarity on top of her, and Filly Rainbow Dash on top with the hammer. They spun around and found themselves underground and went underneath the barrier then came back up. Once again, more wooden crates block their path. Filly Applejack gets in front and takes out the hammer smashing all the crates in their path. At the end of the room, the fillies noticed a mark on the ground and drilled underground to find a bean, and then left the room.
The fillies were now in a different room which is just like a maze. They even picked up three mushrooms from an item block. They drilled under the barrier and jumped up the steps and starting walking on the walls. The came across a giant red button and Filly Applejack pressed the button and one of the steps slid out from the wall. They even got some more shells from an item block. The fillies continued up the steps back onto the wall, and then jumped into a different area with another red button. Once again, Filly Applejack pressed the button revealing another step sliding out from the wall. They drilled beneath another barrier and went up the steps that just appeared, then headed inside the pipe.
The three fillies found themselves inside an air duct. They found a block containing two Refreshing Herbs and continued. Right when they were travelling through the air duct, they just saw a weird creature in their path and it charged at our three fillies.
[Enemy battle: 2 Spiny Shroopas]
"Heyyyy!" A voice said which turned out to be the changelings guards from before. "Check it out: now we'll teach you to fight with hammers like we do! Choose the hammer."
Filly Applejack takes out her hammer and headed over to the spiny shroopa and whacks it, giving it some damage. Filly Rainbow Dash takes out her hammer, then takes a turn whacking the spiny shroopa.
"OK, now lemme teach you how to counter attack with your hammer." The changeling said.
"When your enemy comes at you..."
One of the shroopas approaches Filly Applejack.
"Press and hold the button and then... let go."
Right before it pounced on the filly, Applejack used her hammer to avoid taking damage. The second one does the same to Filly Rarity, but she blocked the attack as well.
"Niiiice! Perfect! That's the timing you need to remember!"
The shroopa tries to attack Filly Rainbow Dash, and she blocks the attack and avoided taking damage.
"You got it or what? Just wait for the shake... and make 'em quake!"
"Your counter is holding the button... and releasing!"
"Don't forget to practice!" Both changeling leave the battle.
The battle continued on and Filly Rarity used her hammer and took out the first shroopa. The fillies repeated their blocking pattern and in about two hits, the second shroopa disappeared too.
[Enemy Battle over.]
The fillies continued through the air ducts. They encountered some more spiny shroopas along the way, and defeated them in 2-3 hits. They found a mushroom drop in one of the blocks, and eventually, escaped the air ducts.
They were once again back in the Vim Factory and drilled underneath the left barrier and defeated the spiny shroopa. They defeated another one in the next room, but it was a dead end. They picked up a hidden bean, some coins in the block, unarmed jeans, and two refreshing herbs. The fillies exit the area and drilled underneath the barrier, and then drilled underneath the one on the right.
What the fillies saw next was surprising to them. There was a large tree in the room with four glowing glass balls in each corner. What caught their eyes was the tree's nose, but the fillies knew who was inside the nose. Filly Applejack knew just what to do, she quickly takes out her hammer and smashed the glass balls that are surrounding the tree. After she smashed the last ball, the tree blows out the Present Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity. They landed on the ground with a thud.
"That was so gross and disgusting." Rarity said.
"How did we even get out anyway?" Rainbow Dash asked.
The fillies went to their future selves and jumped in joy.
"Ah knew these fillies would save us." Applejack said as she picked up her past self and gave her playful throws up-and-down. Rainbow Dash did the same thing she just did. Rarity on the other hand, was crying tears of joy after seeing her past self and hugged her tightly.
Another nose appeared out of nowhere and blew out two spiny shroopas and faced the six ponies.
"Oh dear." Rarity said.
"Guess we have no choice, we're gonna have to fight 'em." Applejack said.
[Enemy Battle: 2 spiny shroopas]
"Hey!" A voice called out which was revealed to be the changeling guard from before. "Niiiice... You found your friends!"
"Yeah, friends helping friends makes the world go round!" The second changeling said.
"Now we're gonna teach you how to use the hammer when piggybacked. OK? First, choose the hammer."
Applejack and her past self on her back walked over to one the shroopas while Filly Applejack holds the hammer.
"Now!" The changeling said. "When the hammer shakes, press the A button." Applejack hoisted her past self up. "That raises your tot! And when she shakes, press A again." Filly Applejack complied and swung her hammer giving the shroopa some great damage.
"Lemme explain the blue one too! Choose the hammer." Rainbow Dash walked over to the same shroopa Applejack just hit and Filly Rainbow Dash has the hammer. "When the hammer shakes, press the B button.""That raises your tater! And when the hammer shakes, press B again." Filly Rainbow Dash did so, and swung her hammer giving and eliminated one of the shroopas while another one comes in its place.
"Now to explain for the white one! You know the drill, choose the hammer." Rarity walks over and Filly Rarity takes out the hammer while Rarity hoisted up her filly self over her head. "There! When your hammer shakes, press the Y button... That'll raise your filly, and when the hammer shakes, press the Y button." Filly Rarity swung her hammer down on the shroopa, and gave it a lot of damage.
"Got all that? Adult button when it shakes!"
"Raise the filly and press her button when she shakes!"
"Now do your best!"
"And we... are... outta here!" Both changelings leave again. It only took about three hits to defeat the shroopas and clear the battle.
[Enemy Battle over]
Our heroes began continuing through the Vim Factory. The fillies quickly jumped up and pressed the button on the top wall and the door opened allowing them to leave the room. The fillies jumped back down and got back on their future selves. They were back in the very first room they came across the changelings. This time, they stepped on the blue switch and the door opens on the right and they proceeded into a different room. There were a bunch of enemies they defeat in there like the shroopas, a Lakitufo, and two Dr. Shroobs. They even got five cannons from an orange block and leave the room.
Inside the next room, there was only a blue pipe inside. But first, the fillies drilled underground and found a hidden bean, then got back on their future selves. All six ponies get on the pipe and head down into a lower part of the factory. When they got out of the pipe, the fillies hop off once again and drilled underground finding another hidden bean, then leave the room.
In the next room, the six of them go left and found a white block which contained two refreshing herbs. There was a switch on the other side. The fillies drilled underneath the barrier and defeated the spiny shroopa in that area, then they pressed the button and a door opens up that leads to the next room and get back to their older selves. They also battled another Lakitufo and two spiny shroopas and defeated them.
They head into the next room and quickly battle the Lakitufo and three spiny shroopas. Then, they find an electrical wall blocking their path.
"How do we get past this?" Rarity asked.
"Wait! How about that?" Rainbow Dash suggested pointing to a large shaped mouse hole. "But it's too small for us to fit through."
"How big is it?" Applejack asked.
"Well, I think our past selves can fit through here." Rainbow Dash put her past self by the hole, then grabs Filly Applejack and Filly Rarity and all three fillies go inside. "Good luck you three, find a way to get us through."
When the fillies were in another room, they quickly defeated the spiny shroopas in the room. After that, they pressed the button, but nothing happened in the room they were in. In the room where the present Applejack, Rainbow Dash, and Rarity, the electrical wall in front of them disappeared.
"Guess they did it." Applejack said.
"Shouldn't we go get them?" Rarity asked.
"Uh Rarity, we can't fit in that hole. We'll meet them somewhere at the end of the hall." Rainbow Dash said. Just then, they came across three multi-colored block and hit each one. Nothing happened in the room, but where the fillies were, a bridge just appeared for the fillies and they crossed to the other side. There was another button on the other side of the barrier. The fillies drill underneath the barrier and press the button and turned off the other electrical wall for their future selves. They even found another hidden bean inside the room.
Back in the other room, Applejack, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash noticed the electrical wall in front of them powered down. All of a sudden, a shroob doctor fired a blast at our three heroes.
"How rude!" Rarity said.
[Enemy Battle: Dr. Shroob]
Applejack makes the first move and jumps onto his head giving him damage. Dr. Shroob took out a laser gun and fired at Applejack, but missed his target.
Rainbow Dash jumps on his head next and gives it the same amount of damage. Rarity takes her turn and Dr. Shroob disappeared in a small explosion.
"That wasn't much of a challenge." Rainbow Dash said.
[Enemy Battle over]
They continued on until they reached the end of the room.
"So does anypony know where those fillies are?" Applejack asked.
"No, but what now?" Rainbow Dash asked them.
Meanwhile, the fillies hit three multicolored blocks, and three multicolored blocks appeared where the older versions of their selves were.
Back in the other room, the present Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Applejack each hit a block and look around to find nothing happened.
In the room where the fillies were in, a hidden step just appeared behind them and they went up on the wall where the exit was and left the room.
They were back outside, but still up high. They continue d on the wall and Filly Applejack smashed the crates in their path and they reached the end when they found two buttons. Filly Rainbow Dash pressed both buttons, then the doors beneath them opened up. The fillies jumped down and noticed a pipe block by them. Filly Applejack hit the block, then a pipe appeared out of the ground and out popped their future selves. The three fillies hopped back on their future selves and continued together.
"Uh which door do we choose?" Applejack asked.
"Let's try that one." Rainbow Dash answered pointing to the left. They all agreed and went through the door on the left. They quickly defeated the Dr. Shroob in their path, found hidden beans, and reached the last room. There was a ? block with a small glowing ball floating around it. Applejack hits the block and it separated into seven separate blocks. The middle block had a 0 on, two blocks were orange, two were cyan, and the last two are white. The ball floated over to Applejack's block and she hits her block, now the middle block reads 1. It floats over to Filly Applejack's block and she hits her block and the counter is at 2. It went over to Rainbow Dash, then Filly Rainbow Dash, then Rarity, and then Filly Rarity. The pattern goes on until the counter reaches 30, then they all leave the room and go back the way they came. They go back through the previous room and go to the door on the right. There was a white block that Rarity just hit and she received four cannonballers. They defeated the shroopas, the Lakitufo, and the Dr. Shroobs. that were in their path.
The six of them entered the next room where there was a large gap to the other side, but the gap was filled with electricity below them.
"How will we get over this?!" Rarity asked still looking below.
"I could just fly over this." Rainbow Dash answered.
"We don't have wings like you Rainbow." Applejack pointed out.
"Wait! There's another small hole up there." Rarity said noticing a hole high above them. "Our past selves can go in there and find a way to get us through this."
"Good thinkin' Rarity." Applejack said. The six of them head over to where the hole was and hoisted up their past selves and went in the hole.
The fillies found a block that changed directions each second it pointed up, down, left, and right. Filly Applejack hits the block pointing to the right. In the other room, a small red platform starting moving across the room with the three ponies on it. It stopped halfway and Rainbow Dash hit the ! block which made a bridge appear in the room where the fillies were. The platform continues moving through the gap and collected a 1-up mushroom, two regular mushrooms, twenty coins, and three green shells along the way. They reach the other side safely and they each hit one ! block and another bridge appeared up where the fillies were. The fillies crossed the bridges and battled the shroopas in their path, then they exited the room and reappeared in the first room and hopped back on their future selves. The six of them step on a large blue button and the door opened up.
The next room they entered wasn't very large, it was a small room with another blue button. They all stepped on the button and the door opens up and head into the next room.
All six of them were confused when they saw a giant green swiggler in the room. The swiggler was drinking a weird green liquid and its end was connected to two ufos and it appears to be charging the ufos. The two ufos leave as two more began to receive energy from the swiggler.
"Any idea what's going on?" Applejack asked her friends.
"No idea." Rarity replied. "Oh no!"
Rarity noticed that Filly Applejack was holding up her hammer while Filly Rainbow Dash and Filly Rarity were jumping up and down waving their hooves.
"She wouldn't." Rarity said.
Rainbow Dash quickly hurried over to the fillies, but it was too late. Filly Applejack swung her hammer and knocked over the glass containing the green substance which spilled onto Rainbow Dash.
"She did." Applejack responded. The swiggler turned red and grew very angry with steam coming out of its ears while angrily jumping up and down.
"We're gonna have to teach this feller a lesson." Applejack suggested.
"I'm with you." Rainbow Dash agreed.
"Let's take this brute down." Rarity added.
[Boss Battle: Swiggler]
The swiggler disconnected from the ufos and they floated away. Two Dr. Shroobs approach each side and get ready to fight.
Applejack goes first and pounces on the swiggler, with Filly Applejack jumping first then herself following her move. The swiggler makes its move and stomps on the ground, hard. It sends waves towards the six of them, but they jump over them and dodge it. Then the swiggler blows a large puff of pink smoke right at Applejack, but Filly Applejack swings her hammer and whacks it away. Then each Dr Shroob takes a turn firing a laser blast at Rainbow Dash and Rarity, but they dodge it in time. The Shroobs both hold up a white mushroom when they head back by the swiggler.
Rainbow Dash makes her move and pounces on one of the Dr. Shroobs which caused it to drop the mushroom. Rarity did the same thing to the other Dr. Shroob and made him drop the mushroom he was holding.
The swiggler drank up a purple substance and it began to calm down and turn back to green.
"Seriously? It was a mad a minute ago, now its calm now?" Rainbow Dash asked feeling confused.
"Something is weird with this creature." Rarity implied.
Both Dr. Shroobs fired two blasts at Rainbow Dash and Applejack, but missed them. They both took out a regular mushroom.
"Let's give this cannon thing a try." Applejack suggested. A cannon appeared in front of them and they all get inside. It fires all six of them into the air then back down.
"Aww yeah!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Yeehaw!" Applejack shouted.
"AAAHHH!" Rarity screamed in terror, and all the fillies had their hooves in the air. They all descended down on the swiggler's head and gave it maximum damage.
Rainbow Dash chose the cannon too, and the same pattern happened again. The swiggler turned angry and red again as it connected to the two ufos that just appeared. Its end connected with the ufos as the energy is goes into the ufos. One of the ufos took out a laser cannon and fired at six ponies.
"Hey that's playing dirty." Rainbow Dash said.
"Yeah, that ain't fair." Applejack said agreeing.
The second one did the same thing and hits them all giving them some damage, then the ufos leave. The swiggler goes to Rarity's direction and blows a puff of smoke at Rarity, but her filly self knocks it away. Both Dr. Shroobs eat the mushrooms and grew a little bigger. One heads over to Rainbow Dash, but hits it with her hammer and it shrinks back to its original size. The other one charges toward Rarity but she dodges it in time and the shroob shrunk back to its original size. The swiggler stomps on the ground again and sends waves at the six ponies, but they dodge them all again. Two more ufos appeared and connect to the swiggler and get charged up before firing more blasts at them.
"They're back." Rarity tells them.
"Not to worry, we'll be ready this time." Applejack said feeling confident.
The lasers began firing at them, but they miss their targets and fly off.
The Swiggler walks to Applejack and blows four puffs of smoke at the cowgirl. Filly Applejack uses the hammer and knocks all of them away. Both Dr. Shroobs fire a blast or two at Rainbow Dash or Rarity, they miss the ponies and head back over to the swiggler. One of them takes out a white mushroom while the other takes out a regular mushroom.
Rainbow Dash jumps on the Dr Shroob with her past self bouncing on its head first then herself, the shroob disappears in a small explosion. Rarity does the same thing to the other shroob, and it disappears too. Applejack has her filly self jumping on the swiggler first, then she takes a turn. The swiggler stomps on the ground again, but misses them yet again. Two more Dr. Shroobs appear and stand by the swiggler. The swiggler drinks the purple substance again and turns calm and green again.
"How can we defeat them all if more of those shroob things keep coming in?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Maybe we don't have to, all we need to do is defeat this big one here." Applejack thought. She selected the cannon again and once again, all six of them were blasted into the air, then descended down onto the swiggler and gave it a lot of damage. There was a massive explosion, and the swiggler disappears.
"We did it!" Applejack said.
"Aww yeah!" Rainbow Dash said.

[Boss battle over]
The swiggler explodes and all that was left was a blue crystal that just appeared as soon as it exploded.
"Is that.." Rarity asked knowing what it already was.
"It is." Applejack replied. "Another star shard."
"You got the second Cobalt Star shard!" The screen read. "You have collected two Cobalt Star shards!"
Just then, Queen Chrysalis comes in and starts running around in circles which caused the six ponies to be confused.
"What in tarnation?" Applejack thought.
"What's going on?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"I have no idea what she's doing." Rarity shrugged. They were all quite confused at what she was doing and they started becoming dizzy from seeing all the spinning which caused Applejack to drop both of the Cobalt Star shards and Chrysalis snagged both of them.
"Chrysalis swiped both Cobalt Star shards!" The screen read.
"GWAH HA HA! LOOOOSERS!" Chrysalis laughed evilly. "Thought you all could away with stealing MY treasure from MY castle, did ya? It's payback time! I'll take MY treasure...plus whatever you just picked up as compensation."
Trixie flies in on her broom and spotted Chrysalis. "Princess Chrysalis! Let's scram!" Both of them fly away leaving the others dizzy.
Stuffwell jumps out of Applejack's backpack and noticed all of them dizzy. "Cruel fate! We finally succeed in recovering the second shard and now this happens... Shame cycle initiated. We must return to our own time and rework our strategy. Stuffwell said before jumping back into Applejack's backpack
