"I am determined this is the right way. What other option was there?" Starlight sighed and elaborated, rolling her eyes. "We could try to find the materialistic medium the spell said it required." "I'm sure that was just a recommendation." "We could also find out more about what happened last time, since we know this already occurred 500," Starlight insisted. "and go back all the way to the castle? We'll just try this spell again, it'll work." "Or we could go to the princess of the sun herself!" "Starlight! This will work, just watch." Starlight rolled her eyes so hard that everyone in Ponyville could sense it. Against her better judgment, she joined Twilight once more in the battle against the sun. Her donation spell bolstered Twilight's effort of entrapping the sun. However, it was no longer an easy mission. They were fighting a bigger and more violent star than just moments ago. It seemed an endless task as it took longer to contain the sun again. The longer it took, the larger the sun got, but the larger the sun got, the more time it would take to capture the sun. The workload snowballed from hardly possible to impossible. The temperature had risen 45 degrees in minutes, making the air act like an air fryer at 210 degrees. Starlight's donation spell was the only extra power and energy Twilight had to rely on, but it couldn't last. Starlight succumbed to the heat, leaving Twilight completely drained. The spell weakened as the sun continued to grow effortlessly. Starlight uttered her last words to Twilight, "I—told you so . . ." As the remaining bits of the shield evaporated away, so did the planet soon after.
