"Dude, you did it!" Sundown said. "You got us out, and by just admiring yourself, too!"
"I always knew my beauty would come in handy someday." Elusive flipped the hair hanging off his neck proudly.
"First things first," Pizza said unexpectedly. "Let's go flex our guns." She looked toward the tallest tower in the Castle, smiling widely. Following Sundown's lead, the group pursued the Elements' path, with Ruby hoping that she would be the Seventh bearer.
After they climbed the tower, they saw no defenses in the room. Whoever was behind the Shadow Plague clearly didn't know the Elements Of Harmony were restored. Sundown carefully trotted to the "closet" where the Elements were hidden, and used his horn to unlock the door. Inside was a chest, it's opening lined with diamonds, rubies, emeralds, etc.
"The Elements Of Harmony are in there?" Elusive asked hopefully.
"I'm 95% sure, Elusive." Sundown said. "They've got to be in here. We need them."
Thankfully, the Elements were in there, but they didn't look like what they were described as in the storybooks. "I think I know what's going on here." Zach said. "In result of the big journey on which we did embark, the Elements have changed and taken form of each of our Cutie Marks!"
"Zach's right!" Scarlett exclaimed. "A ruby for me, a diamond for Elusive, a pizza slice for Pizza, a swirl potion for Zach, a bird for Hummingbird, and a sun for Sundown!"
"They're collars!" Hummingbird said. "Except for Sundown's, which we all can see is a crown." Everybody, excited from the Elements' change, looked over to Sundown's Element, Magic, but Sundown noticed something.
"The crown shifted its form, too! Not just the actual Element." Sundown picked up the crown and placed it the spot on his head between his horn and his ears. Ruby commented that he looked like a royal. After everyone had put on their collars, they ran down the tower while looking around for any signs of the Plague's traps or the Plague itself.
"When do you think the seventh Element comes out if you can harness it?" Ruby whispered into Sundown's ear.
"Probably during battle," Sundown said. "But don't worry, I'm sure that will come real soon."
