Twilight and spike walked into the great crystal halls of her old castle pushing open the twin doors in front of them.
“Thank you all for coming,” Twilight said hurriedly rushing to the large crystal table in the center of the room.
“of course, anytime dear.” Rarity said in a tone of voice radiating a cool collected yet still somewhat unnerved manner.
“You come callin'! and well come runnin'!” Said applejack as confident and reassuring as ever.
Twilight paced her eyes around the table looking at her friends. “I'm sure we have all seen the disharmony spreading around Equestria,” Twilight said her voice Shakey and unnerved.
“It's been pretty hard to avoid sugar cube,” Applejack replied.
“So, what is it that you need us for Twilight?” Said pinkie pie.
“We are the Guardians of friendship; our little group is seen as a symbol of harmony between friends. What has been happening out there has begun to strike fear in me. That ponies may not use magic as a way of friendship but as a weapon.”
“What are you saying Twi?” asked Rainbow Dash.
“What I'm saying is that how long before Unicorns wielding magic do harm to others? How long before Pegasi refuse to make it rain, causing drought? How long before Earth ponies stop giving crops causing starvation?” Twilight continued. “We’ve been able to stop it before but those were only small isolated incidents. This is all of Equestria!” Twilight stopped and looked down hesitant about what to say next. “It's my job as a leader to ensure the safety of all creatures. Even if by any means necessary.” Silence fell on the five ponies seated around the table. They were uncertain of what to say to the princess.
“You all remember what brought us together all those years ago right?” Questioned Twilight. They all looked at each other and nodded their heads.
“The elements.” Said Twilight. “A crystal for each of us representing the unique quality of our characters.” Twilight then with her magic Teleported onto the table a large brown book. The book's spine was adorned with golden symbols each representing the other princesses before Twilight.
“This book contains every powerful spell and enchantment used and documented by all princesses including myself,” Twilight said.
“What are you trying to say, darling?” Rarity questioned.
“I'm saying that I know we’ve all tried to help end this current division we’ve been facing. And I feel as though I have something that could help us restore peace, but even I'm not sure it will work.” Twilight continued. “But we must try.”
“Is this why you asked about the elements?” Rainbow Dash then questioned.
“Yes,” said Twilight. “They were a symbol of unity between all of us. And now I believe Equestria needs a symbol of unity.” Twilight then with her magic opened the book. She looked once more at her friends. “I'm going to need to call upon you all a large favor can you all, do it?”
Without any hesitation, the ponies responded.
“Without a doubt!” said Rarity.
“Yes’em!” replied Rainbow Dash.
“Always!” pinkie called out.
“Of course.” softly said Fluttershy
“Anything for you Twilight!” Shouted Rainbow Dash.
Twilight smiled and chuckled softly. “Thank you all I know you’d all be here for me,” Twilight said now fully reassured with the backing of her friends.
Twilight moved her body, so it now faced the book in front of her. She let out a deep breath and closed her eyes. Her horn blazed in a bright purple glow. Particles of magic slowly began to grow around her and soon grew larger. The room grew dimmer before a bright purple flash appeared from seemingly nowhere startling the rest of the members of the mane six. The apparition of what appeared to be three shapes began to manifest over Twight. The princess raised one hoof to the air above her. Her flowing mane began to flow upwards seemingly toward the apparition. Twilight then clenched her teeth gathering all her power and magic. She was doing something she knew might be drastic. But as she had said before she was a leader, and a leader might need to take drastic measures to ensure the safety of her people. She knew just how powerful magic could be, and she knew that it could prove horrific if in the wrong hooves so she wanted to make sure it could never be pitted against anyone. but Twilight also had a small glimmer of hope for something she wanted to happen. she wanted this magic to bring Opaline back to her. Just then a large magical blast flung Twilight into the air as if she were a doll. She was launched into a bookshelf behind her throwing up pages of paper and dozens of books in the process.
“Twilight!” Everyone called out in concern before rushing to the princess. “I'm fine I'm fine don’t worry about me,” said Twilight who quickly got up and brushed herself off.
Twilight then looked in the direction where the blast had come from. Her friends followed her line of sight to see just what she had been looking at. Hovering suspended above the table lay Three brightly colored crystals. Each of which has a distinctive shape. The group of six ponies and one dragon then looked upon the sight of the three crystals. They Glew brightly and with a strong aura surrounding them.
“What in Equestria are those?” Applejack said, mesmerized at the sight of the three crystals.
“I called upon all the magic in the world to make them,” said Twilight. “Each crystal is linked with the magic possessed by every pony tribe.” Twilight then walked over to them and placed them in the glow of her magic. “They are powered with all the magic in Equestria and if separated only friendship magic and unity can restore their power.” Twilight then hung her head low. “I know it might be drastic, but something must end this division.”
Twilight then looked toward her friends. She could read the expressions on each of their faces. They all seemed slightly frightened but somewhat understanding of what Twilight had done. Twilight looked back at the crystals and their radiating glow before falling to the floor from exhaustion. Twilight had never cast such a powerful spell before all the energy had been zapped from her body. As she lay there, she hoped that everything would eventually be okay for Equestria.
