Dragon's Peak -- The Pest Centre -- Day 6

"I.. AM... GOD...", Everlasting roared, stamping his large, talon-like, feet on the grated ground.
"Okay, so, apparently he's everlasting now?", Shadowflash said in annoyance.
"Everything dies eventually. There must be a weak point somewhere.", Wario said.
A large crash was heard as The Everlasting smashed his pincer-tail into the gratings.
"Oh dear Celestia...", Fluttershy shuddered.
"I ... WILL... SURVIVE...", The Everlasting stab his large pincer-tail at the group. Everyone jumped over and around it. Shadowflash accidently bumped into the underbelly of Everlasting.
"GAAAAAH!", The Everlasting roared as this happened, and stabbed at Shadowflash, who immediately avoided it.
"That's it! The weak spot! Hit his belly!", Shadowflash distracted The Everlasting.
The Everlasting turned around and everypony charged right under him.
"YEEEEEE-HAAAAAWW!", Applejack immediately bucked upwards, along with everypony else, and kicked The Everlasting's underbelly.
"GAAAAAH!", The Everlasting grew smaller and smaller. Eventually, his entire shell turned to dust and all that was left was a small worm.
The worm was as big as a filly, and it had massive teeth and pincers that lashed about.
"YOU CANNOT... CATCH.. ME...", The worm said.
"I AM... THE.. ILLUSIVE..", The Illusive immediately did what his name says. He dug into the grated floor, and then underground, moving away from the group.
"Okay, I'm tired of all this!", Waluigi yelled in anger.
The Illusive popped up near Waluigi and tried biting his forehoof. Instead, Waluigi grabbed the worm and stared it in its small eyes.
"JUST DIE ALREADY! YOU PIECE OF TRASH! I'M TIRED OF ALL YOUR GAMES!!!!", Waluigi yelled in anger. His eyes seemed to glow red with fury.
"Oh.. Uhm.. Okay.. Sorry!", The Illusive grew smaller and smaller and then, eventually, turned to dust.
"THERE! LET'S GO!", Waluigi huffed forward in anger.
"Uhm.. That worked..", Fluttershy whimpered.
The group proceeded behind Waluigi as they went deeper into the cave. There were many twists and turns. They crossed over an arching bridge that lead them into a room filled with a large, sparkling, pool of water. further north of it, was a large door with a massive keyhole.
After a few minutes of finding the path downward to the area, they stopped at the door, looking up at it. The door was decorate with many designs of Equestria. From pegasi, to earth ponies, to unicorns, there was a design for it. Even Discord was displayed on the door.
"Great. Now, we're stuck!", Pinkie Pie frowned in annoyance.
"There's a keyhole. There has to be a key around here.", Twilight frowned as she examined it.
"Wario, Waluigi, do you recall anything from your adventures about these kinds of doors?", Twilight looked over at the pair.
"Yeah! In fact, there were plenty of these doors. The keys were usually hidden somewhere that was nowhere near the door. Then, we had to carry them back to the door and shove 'em in. Usually the places they were are obvious ones.", Waluigi nodded to what Wario said.
"Well..Maybe the obvious one isn't so obvious.. Look at these designs.. All these ponies.. Nightmare Moon.. Discord.. The Elements of Harmony.. They're all above a lake.. And in the lake is where this keyhole is.. It seems so..", Twilight stopped a second.
"Lake...", She looked at the picture closer, examining the fine details.
"What is it, Twilight?", Spike asked.
"This lake is sparkling. But.. It's not a lake.. It's a pool. The sparkling pool behind us must have the key!", With that, the door slowly opened up. The keyhole disintegrated and the door revealed a large, brightly lit, room. 
To the side, there was Celestia; within the electrical barrier. Down the middle, there was a large device that was labelled '90% Sun Power'. There was a pegasus screaming up at it.
"YES! FURTHER! FURTHER MY DEVICE!", The pegasus yelled.
"Twilight!", Celestia bounced up from the cage floor.
"Twilight?!", The pegasus turned around.
"Ah. I see. Your so very faithful student! Pleasure to meet you, Twilight. I am Clairvoyance. Predictor and fore shadower!", Clairvoyance cackled.
"91 percent." The machine behind him called out.
"Ahh.. But, you're almost too late. The machine is nearing full power. I don't have time to play games.", Clairvoyance's left hoof started to glow, as the entire group was pulled closer to him.
"Prepare to die! Just as I predicted!", but, before Clairvoyance pulled them any closer, they stopped.
"NO! You didn't predict anything right!", Twilight called Clairvoyance out.
"YOU DARE DEFY MY POWER?!", Clairvoyance yelled in anger.
"Yes, I do, in fact! Your power is nothing! All you did was torture innocent ponies to do your bidding! Disarray was a confused pony. She represented the Anger you held so dear for Princess Celestia!", Twilight started.
"The Fear was all your fears and worries of the world. You made other ponies fear you so you wouldn't have to worry about anything anypony did!"
"Storm Harbinger was your coldest thoughts. The power you thought you had. But a simple warming of the heart turned him to stone!", Twilight was yelling towards Clairvoyance. He said nothing.
"Darkshadow was the darkness you hold close to your heart. The resentment. The shadow. Everything you thought you dreamed of was put into Darkshadow. You made him pure evil. As you did everypony else!", Twilight was in full rage and her unicorn horn was glowing.
"And the worst of all.. You made the Pest. To do your biddings. A creature that was made powerful to make us doubt our abilities. But, with us all here, we passed your stupid tests. We made it through all your games. Enough is enough, Clairvoyance. We falsified your predictions. You predicted we wouldn't be here, and now we are here. We're here to stop you. And there's nothing you can do about it!", Twilight's horn shown brightly, stars shooting out of it.
"96 percent.", The machine called.
Twilight was slowly floating in the air, as the stars combined with sparks. A purple and pink glowing ball formed around her. Wario and Waluigi were pulled into it.
"GAAAH!", they yelled in surprise.
The sparks and stars shot out to Clairvoyance's machine. The machine was bolting with energy and it absorbed the magic. Eventually, it gained too much energy.
"Overload. Warning. Overload. Powering down.", The machine's percentage immediately dropped to zero. It finally powered down. 
"No! NOOO!", Clairvoyance yelled. 
The sparks shot over to Celestia's cage. The magical barriers broke her free, as the sun goddess shone brightly in the room. The magic eventually grew too powerful, and a large light emitted throughout the entire cave. Blinding everypony. 

Dragon's Peak -- Clairvoyance's Lair -- Day 7

As everypony came too, they approached Clairvoyance. He no longer had the metal structures supporting him. He just showed his green coat, his large green wings, and his jet black mane now. His yellow eyes stared in fear at Celestia.
"Clairvoyance..", Celestia started. Clairvoyance only backed up against the machine.
"Your crimes against Equestria would normally serve as banishment. But, I think I have use of you.", Celestia smiled lightly.
"You may have almost caused catastrophe, but, your actions were not of your own. You grew resentment for what you thought I did. Instead, I was only trying to help you. That day, in Cloudsdale, was meant to help your future. You took it the wrong way, Clairvoyance.", Celestia smiled a bit bright now.
"Your cutie mark, that shining star, do you know what it means?", Celestia asked.
"I was told.. That it means I was going to use the sun's power and destroy all of Equestria.", Clairvoyance answered.
"No. It means that you'll harness the sun's energy. That was your gift. To use the sun's energy to disperse brilliant power in Equestria. The only renewable resource everypony here has. I'm sorry for what I did. I'm sorry if I may have ruined your dreams. But, look at this device. It can be used for good, Clairvoyance... Or should I say.. Sunny Lights...", Celestia laughed lightly, as she helped 'Sunny Lights' up onto his hooves.
"So.. You're.. Not going to punish me..?", Sunny asked.
"Of course not. Everypony gets a second chance. Now, this is yours. You'll help me, and my sister Luna, develop new energy for all the kingdoms of this planet. You'll be doing a great service to everypony.", Celestia stood beside Sunny, as his yellow eyes gazed over at the group.
"I'm sorry.. For what I did to you all.. I thought.. I thought this was what I was suppose to do. I used my powers for evil.. I'm so sorry.. Please.. Forgive me..", Sunny's head was low to the ground. Twilight moved close to him and lifted his head. Her purple eyes met his yellow eyes.
"We forgive you, Sunny.", she smiled as Pinkie Pie cried like she did during the Nightmare Moon incident.
"OOOH! HEY! You know what this calls for?!", Pinkie Pie jumped up and down.
"A party?", Everypony else smiled and laughed.
"Yeah!!", Pinkie Pie was bouncing up and down now.
"When we get back to Ponyville, we'll throw a celebration. Especially for Wario and Waluigi.", Celestia approached the two. They were staring wide eyed at the goddess.
"Thank you, you two. I know it was a lot for you two to do. But, you have my thanks. And that reward I promised you.. Let's say .. Upon return to your home.. You'll find some.. 'Extra' gold in your house..", Celestia gave a wink. Waluigi and Wario high-hooved each other.
"AW YEAH!", They started bouncing around with Pinkie Pie.
Everypony else just laughed and giggled at the sight of this.
