Meanwhile....

Back in Ponyville...

The stone statue that was holding Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow frozen in place, was Beginning to weaken and started cracking, and then, after a few minutes, the Villainous Trio finally broke out of it, and they were pretty shocked and confused about what happened and how they were set free, Chrysalis was the first to speak up.

"I'm free! I'm free! Free at last!"

"Shh, you don't want yo be Waking up all of the other Ponies in this town, or else we could get turned back to stone again"

Cozy Glow however, was quite curious.

"I wonder though, who freed us in the first place?"

"It doesn't really matter, what matters now, is that we are free now, and finally, we can plot our revenge at last"

"Hmm, we have to be careful about this though, we don't want to cause too much of a ruckus and bring attention drawn to ourselves, remember, none of us have magic anymore, if we want to go and fight Princess Twilight right now, we'd instantly get defeated"

"I say we keep a low profile for now, try draining other ponies' magic around here, but not too much, we don't want to cause too much suspicion from the residents of Ponyville, and eventually, when we're finally ready and grab a lot of our magic back, then we can launch our attack on Princess Twilight Sparkle, and finish her off once and for all!"

"Once we've defeated these Pathetic Ponies' Leader and ruler, they'll get scared and terrified, then it will be very easy for us to beat them, and finally takeover and rule Equestria!"

The Trio of Villains then started evilly laughing, and then started searching for their old hideout in the Mountains, eventually after a couple of hours, they found it and began to think of their plot and how they were going to pull off their revenge plan on Twilight Sparkle and her friends.
