The Fighter Filly Girls!

by Mod On Death

Royal Pain

Diamond Tiara was sleeping peacefully in her large bed, resting the night away. She had a busy day at school and the homework didn’t help. Rarely did she envy other ponies, but lately she’d wanted to be smart like Apple Bloom, something that make her feel sick to her stomach. As long as her work was done, that was all that mattered. Hopefully she’d dream about something really nice tonight, like that one involving a skiing trip with Silver Spoon on a mountain of whipped cream. Tonight would not be one of those pleasant nights however.

Diamond Tiara woke up to find herself sitting at her desk in school, a pile of papers for her to complete. She looked at the work she needed to do and didn’t have any idea what was going on. Looking to her left, she saw Apple Bloom quickly filing away one paper after the other, completing each one in a matter of seconds. She finished her pile, and then the classroom bell rang. Miss Cheerilee stood in front of the class and then began speaking.

“Alright, class! Put your pencils down! Test time is over. Now, let’s see who actually managed to complete all the work.” The teacher looked around the classroom before laying her eyes on Apple Bloom’s desk. “Oh my! Looks like Apple Bloom was the only one to complete the assignment. Not surprising though, seeing as she is the smartest pony in the classroom.” The rest of the class, including Silver Spoon, cheered at this remark. Diamond Tiara rolled her eyes back at that statement, not believing how blunt the teacher was being. “Of course, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, and Sweetie Belle ARE the best students we have in class, isn’t that right everypony?” Once again, a cheer was heard. Diamond Tiara turned around to view the students, but the close she looked, the more she realized that she couldn’t actually make out any faces. It seemed like they had become mannequins.

“Uh, teacher?” she finally called out, seeing something was wrong. “Something seems off with the class.”

“What are you talking about? Everything is perfect! After all, Apple Bloom is still smart, Scootaloo is still awesome, and Sweetie Belle is objectively the prettiest mare of all time. I mean, what could go wrong with that?” Okay, now something was definitely off here, besides Sweetie Belle being considered the prettiest mare of all time over her.

“Alright, now I know that this isn’t normal, and you aren’t Miss Cheerilee either.”

“Oh, is that so?” the teacher replied, her voice deepening. “Did you know that there are three other ponies you know that aren’t who they really are either?”

“What do you mean?” Diamond Tiara was starting to get nervous. Soon she was the only pony in the classroom, the rest of the students and their desks disappearing.

“Take a look at this.” The creature who was imitating the teacher suddenly produced poster cards out of thin air, on it a drawing of the three Fighter Filly Girls. “Do you know who these girls are?”

“Well, obviously. It’s the Fighter Filly Girls. Would have to live under a rock not to know that.”

“That might seem so on first glance, but there’s so much more. Here, let me show you.” The being that looked like Cheerilee opened its mouth and released what looked like tentacles made of shadows. Diamond Tiara didn’t have any time to scream as they soon touched her eyes and then suddenly disappeared into a cloud of smoke. Scratching her eyes, the beast soon began talking to her again.

“Now look at the picture closely. What do you see?”

“It looks like Apple Bloom is dressed up as Miss Chill, Scootaloo as Danger Dash, and Sweetie Belle as Strong Song.” The creature let out a high-pitched laugh and gave the foal a condescending face, as if to make a suggestion. “Wait, you don’t mean-“

“Surprised that those three got superpowers? Yes, I suppose you are. After all, most ponies are blinded by magic when it comes to those three and their identities. Thing is, they just LOVE to show off their abilities outside of their heroics, such as Apple Bloom with her intelligence, Scootaloo with her speed and strength, and Sweetie Belle with, well, whatever power she’s using to make herself adorable.”

“What?!” Diamond Tiara couldn’t believe what she heard. Apparently those three fools were using super abilities to increase their social standing. While she wouldn’t have any qualms about doing the same herself, the point of the matter is that she wasn’t given any powers. “How’d they even get their abilities?”

“Does it really matter? After all, what’s really important is the fact that you were left out of receiving such gifts, even though you’d be MUCH better at using them than those three ever could.”
Diamond Tiara listened to this and was intrigued.

“Wait, how could I get my own powers?”

“Follow me!” the creature in the form of Cheerilee opened up the door leading outside to reveal a vast nothingness. The teacher trotted along, leaving a trail of red mist in her wake. Diamond Tiara followed her, knowing that there really wasn’t any other way out. She followed the red trail, the mist growing thicker and thicker as she progressed. Soon it engulfed her body and blocked her vision, leaving her to worry that she had lost the path. The mist subsided however, to reveal a set of golden stairs. She climbed the stairs slowly, each new step she took lighting candles on the sides of what she assumed was the room. She soon reached the top, candles now lit in every place in the room. At the top of the stairs lay a golden chest with what appeared to be a keyhole.

“How can I open this without a key?” she thought to herself as she looked at the chest. Upon further examination, she realized that the keyhole didn’t resemble a normal one with its large and unusual size, and more resembled a place to set something in. Looking closely, she noticed that the setting was circular in shape. There was only one thing that Diamond Tiara had on her that was circular.

“My… tiara? I need to open the chest using my tiara?” She felt hesitant to do such a seemingly random thing, considering how much the headwear meant to her. She reconsidered the offer she had been given, just before she heard chanting.

“Princess,” it started, getting faster and faster. “Princess, Princess, Princess!” it soon started to roar. Diamond gulped and swallowed what little there was of her justifiable pride before taking off her precious belonging. With hesitance, she removed her jewelry and placed it in the indentation in the chest. She soon heard the clacking of gears move in the chest and the cheering to match the rhythm of the clanking. It opened slowly but surely, revealing something incredible inside.

“So, do you like it dear?” the being who had taken Cheerilee’s form asked. Diamond turned to respond, noticing that the beast no longer looked like her teacher, but rather a sheep with griffon talons. Diamond quickly returned to focusing on the chest, gazing upon the contents of the chest. In it appeared to be a golden suit of armor that was just the size she’d need to fit comfortable in, a purple and white cape that closely resembled the mane of the mare, and, most pleasing, was a tiara made of pure gold fitted with the finest gems. The site was incredible, the young mare not knowing what to do.

“Put it on! It’ll look lovely!” She told her to do. Soon, Diamond Tiara listened to She and put on the outfit. After finishing, she noticed that mirrors had suddenly come out of nowhere, giving her a look at what the regal pony looked like. Her appearance was that of a golden idol, somepony with power and prestige who was worthy of ruling Equestria. Suddenly a roar of applause was heard, and she turned around to see that there was an audience applauding her and calling her ‘Princess’. Diamond Tiara couldn’t feel more proud of herself at the moment and addressed the ponies.

“My fellow subjects,” she started, “I declare that as of today, I will begin my rule of this fair land. First, however, I shall defeat those who stand in my way. The first that shall fall beneath my hooves are the Fighter Filly Girls!” Another, even louder roar was heard this time, cheering on the deluded foal. The villainous She grinned a wide grin, knowing that the plan her teammates had devised was about to begin.

The town of Ponyville! Such a glorious day for everypony in town, for today marks the very first Fighter Filly Day in Equestria. The market is busy with ponies shopping for special holiday deals. Children were crowded around a puppet booth where several puppeteers acted out several of the adventures of the Girls, including their very first exploit involving the hydra. Sugarcube Corner had been overrun by ponies who were ordering special deserts in the colors of the girls, causing the Cakes and Pinkie Pie to make their own icing when it looked like they’d run out. The three who were most excited however were the guests of honor.

“I can’t wait to see what they’re doing for us!” Scootaloo told her two friends who were getting ready for their presentation.

“I’m guessing a big speech thanking us, and then we get a really big party,” Sweetie Belle guessed.

“Probably. Funny thing is that we actually have a lot of these big gatherings, but they always seem to end early or somethin’,” Apple Bloom told them, remembering the events involving the celebration of Mare-Do-Well and his sudden disappearance. The two thought back to that day, but then shook their heads at the idea of that happening.

“Nah, I’m sure things will go well for us. I mean, what could go wrong for us today?” Scootaloo would soon be feasting on those words, but not at this moment as they were led out to the stage where Mayor Mare was about to give a speech to the public.

“Fillies and Gentlecolts, I am proud to present to you our town’s defenders, the Fighter Filly Girls!” The three then walked forward and presented themselves to the crowd, receiving praise and adoration for their actions. They all blushed at how embarrassing it all felt. “Now, in celebration of today as the very first Fighter Filly Day, I hereby present this statue to the public!” A drape was removed, showing the three girls in flying formation. The applause once again mounted, the three feeling proud of their accomplishments. “Now, let’s get this party started!”

“Yes, let’s get this party started, but not for the reasons you think,” declared a loud voice from out of nowhere. The audience was baffled, having no idea where this was coming from. They were soon answered when they saw a golden bullet shoot down on the stage, covered in a regal looking purple-and-white cape. The figure raised its head to reveal that the golden figure was actually Diamond Tiara.

“DIAMOND TIARA?” the three gasped when they saw her in her suit. Something wasn’t right here.

“That name is so old. Please refer to me as my new title; Princess Tiara! I will become the new ruler of Equestria, and all who stand in my way shall taste my power.”

“What power? Being a complete-“ Before Scootaloo could even finish saying words that she would be able to eat later on, Princess Tiara dashed over to the three and attacked them with moves so fast that the three were instantly tossed away.

“That power. Now, if you’d be so kind as to surrender-“ It was now her turn to get cut off, as the three girls used their
Heat Vision on their new nemesis. The target was hit, and looked like she was down for the count.

“Well, that was easy,” Apple Bloom said. It wasn’t though, as the golden figure came out of the smoke, a purple shield glowing around her body.

“Do you like my defenses? These shields pretty much protect me from anything. Now, I think it’s my turn to show you some REAL firepower.” The gems in the golden tiara she was wearing started to glow, culminating in a laser blast that hit all three of the girls straight on. The blast was continuous, causing the girls to cry out in pain as they couldn’t move. Princess Tiara merely laughed as she saw her foes being crippled by her attack.

“I’m…not…going…down…WITHOUT A FIGHT!” Apple Bloom used her Ice Breath and blew herself and her friends out of the laser’s sight of fire. They managed to take cover behind a house and noticed that the ray that had been fired at them had also stopped. Either she was out of power, or moving around to attack them again.

“I think we should split up. She’s able to take us out pretty quickly when we’re grouped together.”

“Great idea, Sweetie Belle. I’ll head north of the town, while you two go northest and northwest. That way, when either of us is trailed by her, we can then use our Heat Vision against her or whatever else we have that might stand a chance against her shield. You with me?” the leader of the group asked them.

“RIGHT!” They all flew out of cover, each going in their separate directions while trying to draw Princess’ attention.

“So, running away, are you? No matter, I’ll get you.” The golden princess then ascended into the air and shot off, eager to defeat the three guardians. Sweetie Belle was her first target, seeing as she seemed like the slowest flier. The tiara began to glow again and shot off into the sky. Luckily Sweetie Belle had become skilled enough at flying that dodging those pot shots was fairly easy. Annoyed, Tiara decided that she’d have to get her hooves dirty.

“Can’t catch me, can you?” taunted Sweetie Belle. Turns out she was wrong, as within a moment her foe zoomed right beside her and grabbed her from the air, twirling her around and round, going faster and faster. Apple Bloom was the first to notice and zoomed over, attempting to get in range to use her abilities. With the correct timing, Princess Tiara released the Fighter Filly Girl, sending her rocketing into her teammate and sending them both crashing down.

“No!” Scootaloo yelled out, seeing her friends defeated.

“Well, that was easier than expected, wouldn’t you say, Scootaloo?” Scootaloo was shocked when she heard her real named called out and not Danger Dash. Somehow, Diamond Tiara had learned of their identities.

“I won’t go down so easily. Bring it!” she challenged her, starting up the Lightning Strike. The golden warrior zoomed over, attempting to treat her to the same fate as her friends, only to be met with a surprise when grabbing the orange foal.

“Gah! What is that!” Diamond yelled out in pain.

“Static Defense! I charge up my Lightning Strike, holding onto the energy, and whoever touches me gets a big surprise!” Scootaloo was proud that she had managed to come up with so many uses for her Lightning Strike, thinking that at first she’d only be using it for big balls of electricity. She’d really grown with her powers. Scoots soon noticed that the purpled shielding that had protected Diamond Tiara was starting to flicker and soon faded out, taking away her defenses.

“Oh, horseapples,” she declared, pushing her way out of Scootaloo’s grasp and into the Everfree Forest. The last remaining Fighter was about to follow, but saw her friends about to crash and had to do something. Using all the strength in her wings, she burst out to her friends, trying to save them before they landed. They were only a couple dozen feet in the air at this point while Scoots was still over a hundred. She knew that she had to give it her all for her friends, her family. Thinking back, she remembered one time when something had managed to make her fly even faster, and knew that while it’s hurt, it’d definitely speed her up. With coming-regret in her eyes, Scootaloo used her Heat Vision on her tail.

“YEOW!” she yelled out, remembering the pain as it happened the first time. The pain was just enough to get her fast however, catching up with her friends and grabbing them just as they were about to hit the ground. “Heh, saved you guys.” She immediately crashed into a nearby building though.

“Ugh, what happened?” Apple Bloom asked, finally coming around.

“Diamond Tiara managed to catch up with Sweetie Belle and threw her straight into you, taking you both out. She tried the same with me, but I had up my Static Defense ability, shocking her and taking out her shields. She flew away into the Everfree Forest after that,” explained Scootaloo.

“Huh, I guess that means she’s getting her powers from that suit then. Wondered how she got them otherwise. How do you think she actually got it though?”

“Um, girls, I think I know how,” interrupted Sweetie Belle, showing them the headlines from a newspaper she just happened to see. The three looked at it and were shocked:

“So it must have been Torchel that made that suit and gave to her! Thing is, it’s a little weird that Diamond Tiara would suddenly become so evil and know our names. I guess we’ll have to figure it out once we’ve dealt with her. Scoots, Sweetie Belle, it’s time to stop a rogue princess.” The three then zoomed out and headed to the Everfree Forest, hoping that they’d be able to catch their rival before they became her prey in the wild.

The three of them searched for hours trying to find any sign of her, coming up without any clues that might direct where she’d gone. It seemed that they’d lose their trail if they didn’t find something soon.

“Ugh, this is so annoying!” Sweetie Belle groaned as she fell on her back, exhausted by the day she’d been having.

“Yeah, I’m starting to think we should head back for now. We’re not having much luck in tracking her down.” Apple Bloom was exhausted as well, only kept up by the desire to give a good impression as leader.

“Come on, girls! We’ve gotta track her down! After all, how else can we fight her?” Scootaloo was the only one who still seemed in the mood to hunt Tiara down. “Besides, she knows our identities, so she could strike us at any moment and take us out individually. Hay, she might even go after our families if she’s willing to. Could you let that happen?” The speech seemed enough to get them back on their hooves, and soon they set off again to find their classmate.

An hour later and still no progress was made in finding her. The three were now starting to doubt their hunting abilities as they soon started to realize that what they were doing simply wasn’t working. It seemed that returning home and preparing for their next encounter would be the best strategy at this point.

“So, everypony wanna jus’ go home now?” Apple Bloom asked the group. The two nodded their heads, too tired to talk and started floating up into the air.

“OWWWWWW!” a random pony seemed to yell out. Sweetie Belle stopped to listen, but her two friends continued flying.

“Hey, girls, didn’t you hear that?” Sweetie Belle was surprised that her friends were just passing by that yell. Even if they were tired they’d still help anypony in trouble.

“Yeah. So what?” Scootaloo replied.

“So WHAT? Somepony’s in trouble and we’ve got to help!” Sweetie Belle zoomed off to find the location of the cry for help, hoping that she could be there just in time. She knew how dangerous the forest was and needed to be fast.

“Sweetie Belle, wait!” her two friends called out, flying after her. “Nopony called out. You’re just imagining things.”

“Trust me, I didn’t imagine that. Here!” She dived down through the trees to where she heard the yelp. She looked around and didn’t see anypony nearby. Maybe her friends were right. “Huh, I thought I’d see them here.” Just as she was about to fly away, she heard more yelling.

“Help! Seriously! I need help! My leg is stuck! Don’t make me do that thing when your leg is stuck, guys.” That was enough for Sweetie Belle to find where the pony was trapped and started digging around the rocks. Pulling them away, she didn’t find a pony, but something else.

“Is that a Timberwolf?” Apple Bloom was surprised when she saw this and was wondering how in Equestria she confused a pony with a wolf.

“Oh, great, a bunch of ponies. Well, I guess I’m a goner,” the wolf said. Sweetie Belle was silenced for a second, surprised at the talking Timberwolf.

“Did you two just hear that? The wolf is talking!” Sweetie Belle continued pointing at the wolf, as if hoping to make her friends understand what she’d been talking about.

“Uh, Sweetie Belle, I think you’re tired. That wolf isn’t talking,” Apple Bloom, concerned, told her friend.

“Whatever, I’ll help out this little wolf out. You okay, Mr. Wolf?” Sweetie Belle asked the trapped creature.

“Wait, you can understand me? Oh, that’s a relief! Thought you’d turn me into firewood or something. That rock’s a real pain, so doing this quick could be a real pleasure,” the wolf told Sweetie Belle. She lifted up the rock that trapped the wolf and threw it away to its relief.

“How’d you get trapped?” she asked him.

“I was trying to get something to eat when I came across some gold flying creature that hit a rock and started a miniature rock slide. She was headed to this big cave that I know about. We usually don’t go there because of the creatures that live in there.” This looked like the clue they were hoping to get.

“Girls! The wolf told me that Diamond Tiara was headed over to a cave nearby! We need to go, fast!” The three were headed off, but then realized they had no idea where it was. They quickly went back and had Sweetie Belle ask where the cave was.

“I’ll help you get there. The least I could do for saving me.” The grateful wolf then showed the girls the path they needed to take in order to get to where they needed. Along the way the dog decided to have a little snack (a gruesome experience for the girls to see that happen to a rabbit), and the three girls decided to talk about Sweetie Belle.

“So, I’m guessing your other secret ability to understanding dogs,” Scootaloo said to them. “I guess that could be pretty cool.”

“Yeah! I could finally understand Winona and have you talk with her for me. It’d be neat to know what she likes.” Apple Bloom was ecstatic about the idea of communicating with her pet, but the wolf seemed to brush off the idea.

“Trust me when I say there probably isn’t much you two could talk about. Dogs that live at homes rarely have exciting lives. Chatted with one once; surprised I didn’t die of boredom.”

“Really? What kind of dog was it?” Sweetie Belle asked.

“His name was George. Seemed like he wouldn’t mind some company so what chatted up a bit one night when he was let out of his place. He apparently lives on a barn where they grow apples. He just kept going on about the different kinds of apples they grew. I asked him if he’d tried out some of this season’s rabbit and he looked horrified. Apparently you ponies don’t want your dogs to eat meat or something. A shame, really. Saddest thing is when he told me that his owners think that he’s a she apparently. Honestly, that shouldn’t be too hard to figure out, you know?”

“Hey, that’s a pretty big coincidence! Winona lives on an Apple Orchard as well!” Before Sweetie Belle could put two and two together, they suddenly stopped at the entrance of a very large cave.

“Now, I should warn you girls that you should NOT go in there. I’ve heard some pretty strange things going on in there that definitely do not sound good. I suggest that you wait for whoever you’re hunting to come out and fall into a trap that you set up. I know I’ve used that tactic when it comes to hunting in my pack.” The three took their companions advice and set themselves up a system where they’d be alerted of Diamond Tiara’s return using acorns and piles of rock to make noise. They used the time they had to also rest from their earlier search. The wolf decided to look out for them and would alert them otherwise. And hour passed before the signals were set off, alerting the girls to an approaching creature.

“Ugh, where are they? I thought they’d be in that cave still,” Diamond Tiara said to the confusion of the three Fighter Filly Girls. The three waited in the bushes until Diamond got close enough for them to strike. “Oh well. I guess I’ll just take out my frustrations on this bush,” she said before blasting the bush at fully power with her laser vision. The girls were directly hit, pushed back into a nearby boulder by the force of the blast. “Wait, did I just hit the Fighter Filly Girls? Wow. That was pretty lucky of me!”

“Oh, come on!” Sweetie Belle yelled out, not believing what was going on here. “Scoots, just do your thing and we can be done with this.”

“Right!” the orange mare started rubbing her hooves together, static electricity being built up as she did so. She was fully charged and let it lose, sending a bolt straight at the brat. A direct hit. “Take that!”

“Yeah, um, sorry to tell you this, but that won’t work anymore. See, I readjusted the suit so now it can take more of your electrical attacks. Now, I didn’t finish showing you three the rest of my abilities.” Scootaloo saw how ineffective her attack was and, without a word, flew up into the sky. “Guess she was the smart one of the group after all, isn’t that right, Apple Bloom!”

“I’ll show you who’s smart!” she yelled out while using her Ice Breath. A cloud of frozen doom approached Diamond Tiara, but she merely yawned.

“I’m guessing that it’s me who’s smarter, seeing as I’m the one with the fire.” The gold princess raised one of her hoofs and opened up a small port in the hoof. Flames instantly shot out of the port, turning Apple Bloom’s attack into a fine mist.

“Oh yeah, well, take this!” Sweetie Belle unleashed her Sonic Scream at full force, turning rocks into sand and trees into splinters. The nearby sand actually began to liquefy from the force of the vibrations that her scream produced. As the sound got more intense and closer to the princess, she raised her two front hooves and clapped them together, producing a sonic boom that cancelled out Sweetie’s attack and temporarily silencing her.

“So, I guess that’s it? Well, I suppose that compared to you three, I’m essentially a prodigy. Now, I think I’ll just melt you with my laser, okay?”

“Not okay!” growled their companion made of twigs, pouncing Diamond Tiara from behind. “Come on fellas! This is the girl that nearly got me killed!” Out of what seemed to be nowhere an entire pack of Timberwolves descended upon her. The pack assaulted her armor, causing the shield to glow under the stress of constant attack. She dispatched them easily however, breaking them into twigs with a mere punch. They did manage to piece themselves together again, which got Sweetie Belle wondering why the wolf she rescued needed rescuing. She then realized that his foot would have been stuck under the rock and could not have been reattached, which actually would make sense as to why he didn’t want to leave. The onslaught of wolves continued for several minutes straight until they eventually were exhausted from the constant breaking apart and reforming. Diamond Tiara also looked tired from all the punching she had to do, but smiled nonetheless.

“So, that was the best idea you had? Have to admit that I still expected more from you three, or two now it seems.” Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle were snickering while their foe talked, eventually bursting out into full laughter. “What’s so funny? Have you become hysterical?”

“Oh, no, it’s just that you really counted Scootaloo out pretty fast, don’t cha’ think?” Apple Bloom smirked while saying this, causing Diamond Tiara to be taken aback. Now that she thought of it, Scoots would probably stick with them no matter what. Hay, she was the one who’d be most likely to finish a hopeless fight, not run away. As she pondered this, she felt some rain on her. She remembered that the forest has odd weather, so this wasn’t completely unexpected, but then she noticed that the surrounding area had apparently been soaked, with her at the center. She looked up into the sky to notice storm clouds that were circling directly overhead, lightning striking out of the middle. The eye of the storm then started to open up to reveal a bright light that, on closer inspection, was a great ball of electricity. In the center of that was Scootaloo.

“Oh, dear,” was all Diamond Tiara could say at this sight.

“YOU’VE BEEN,“ she screamed as she threw the immense bolt of lightning down on the so-called princess, attracting other lightning bolts to give its power to it as it landed, with Scootaloo finishing with, “THUNDERSTRUCK!” The surrounding area was completely scorched, and Diamond Tiara’s armor looking a bit tarnished now. That was the sign for the girls to strike. At the exact same moment, the three landed a power-packed attack on their classmate, knocking the rest of the armor off of her and destroying the tiara in the process. Sparks flew from it as it broke apart. Princess Tiara had been dethroned.

“Hah! Now what do you say about that, ‘Princess’?” Apple Bloom asked her mockingly.

“Ugh, what’s going on? Where am I? Is this a dream? I was in my bed just a moment ago.” Diamond Tiara seemed genuinely confused at the situation, something the girls (and the wolves, who were watching closely) thought might have been a ploy. As they looked closer however, they noticed that her eyes, which they hadn’t clearly seen through the armor, was actually red and had started to revert to her original eye color.

“I think she might’ve been mind-controlled,” Apple Bloom told her friends. “She may have thought this was all some crazy dream an’ not known what she was doing. Let’s go easy on her, alright?”
The two took several seconds before saying, “Fine,” and accepting that she wasn’t in her right mind.

“Wait, OHMYGOSH! It’s the Fighter Filly Girls! Did you three rescue me from these awful wolves?” The Timberwolves growled at this statement, only kept calm by Sweetie Belle’s explanation of the situation.

“Uh, actually, it’s a pretty long story,” Apple Bloom, presenting herself as Miss Chill, explained to her classmate as they headed back to Ponyville.

Back at Ponyville, the situation was explained to the townsfolk, who were relieved to know that Diamond Tiara had not turned fully evil. They were concerned by the fact that she was mind-controlled though, and worried that either of them might be next. The Fighter Filly Girls declared to the town that they’d do whatever was needed to bring the criminals to justice and finished off the day with the party that had been postponed. If they knew what the newspapers from different parts of Equestria would be saying about the events of that day though, they might have not been so quick to party. However, for that very moment, the day was saved, thanks to the Fighter Filly Girls!
