"Seize her! Only she knows where the princess is!" Mayor Mare commanded the Ponyville guards. They flew up to Nightmare Moon. But the villain wasn't giving up that easily.
"Stand back, you foals!" Nightmare Moon's eyes glowed bright white. As soon as she did that, lightning flashed out of nowhere and it hit the guards.
"C'mon! We gotta follow Twilight!" I grabbed Ivy by the hoof and we galloped after Twilight who was running away into the distance.
When we got to the Grand Oak Library, we heard some books toppling down from their shelves. We went inside a second before the other five ran over.
"Elements, elements, elements! Ugh! How am I supposed to stop Nightmare Moon without the elements of harmony!" Twilight said, obviously frustrated.
Rainbow Dash barges in.
"And just what ARE the elements of harmony? How did you know about Nightmare Moon, huh!? Are you a spy? WHOA!"
Applejack comes in on time to seize her tail to stop her from advancing on Twilight. We went in the library's first floor.
"Simmer down sally, she ain't no spy. But she does know what's goin' on, dontcha, Twilight?" Applejack asked as we inched closer to her.
Twilight hesitated, then started talking.
'' I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon....''
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, bla-
''The Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide.''Pinkie randomly read.
''How did you find that?!''Twilight asked, impressed.
''It was under E!'' Pinkie chanted, bouncing around.
''Oh.''Twilight said. She then levitated the book out of its shelf and opened it and began reading.
''There are eight Elements of Harmony, but only seven are known. Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty, Motivation, Creativity, and Loyalty. The eighth is a complete mystery. It is said that the last known location of the five elements...''
I didn't hear anything else.
"It is located in what is now-"
"The Everfree Forest!"
I just stared.
"Whee, let's go!" Pinkie started walking, but is stopped by Twilight.
"Not so fast. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I'd really rather do this on my own." Twilight replied.
"No can do, sugarcube. We sur ain't lettin' any of our friends going into that creepy place alone. We're sticking to you like caramel on a candy apple!"
We all agreed to that and went in the Everfree Forest.
"Especially if there's candy apples in there!" I heard Pinkie say. I looked behind me and saw Twilight staring at her. "What? Those things are good!" Pinkie Pie said before trotting towards us. I kept walking.
[CUT]
"So, none of you have been in here before?" Twilight asked nervously.
Rarity replied, "Ugh, heavens no! Just look at it- it's dreadful."
"And it ain't natural. Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Can we not exaggerat-" I began.
"Nopony knows..." Rainbow Dash said, in a ghost-like voice. Rarity, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie froze. "You know why?"
"Rainbow, quit it." Applejack said relentlessly. Me and Ivy said, "What in Equestria are you doing?"
Rainbow Dash ignored us. "Cause everypony who's ever come in... has never come OUT!"
I heard a crack. Oh no.
The cliff cracked off and the wingless ponies screamed in terror as they fell towards the abyss.
Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, me and Ivy flew up to avoid falling.
"Guys, quick!" Rainbow Dash called to us before racing down to get Pinkie Pie.
"Oh my goodness, oh my goodness..." Fluttershy muttered under her breath as she flew down to get Rarity.
We went to get Applejack and Twilight, but they were too fast for us to catch up.
We got as far as possible to hear their conversation.
"...What do I do?"
Applejack looked up. "Let go."
"Are you crazy?" Twilight asked as she glared at Applejack.
"No I ain't. I promise you'll be safe."
I almost fell asleep.
Twilight's eyes widened, like she trusts AJ,(of course she does) and lets go.
I heard the 4-second scream, and I looked down to see Twilight safe.
"Whew. Whoa!"
Twilight was lowered to the ground as Fluttershy said, "Sorry girls, I'm not used to holding more than a bunny or two."
[CUT]
"...And once Pinkie and Rarity were saved, WHOOSH..."
"NOPE." I told Dash.
"Fine." Rainbow grumbled.
"Alright guys, stop fidgeting! We need to focus here and--- A MANTICORE!" Twilight gasped.
The thing bellowed and roared. It obviously doesn't like the 8 visitors inside the Everfree. I know. It's that idiotic Nightmare Moon behind all this.
"We gotta get past him!"Twilight said, determined. When she said that, I saw Fluttershy isn't agreeing with her plan.
After a bunch of attempts, we decided to charge towards the manticore. I kinda agreed with Fluttershy here.
Then Fluttershy finally got the courage to shout "WAIT!!!" towards us. Then she settled down in front of the manticore.
We all thought the manticore was going to eat Fluttershy, but she took the first step before the thing could crush her.
"Shhh, it's okay." Fluttershy said as she nuzzled the manticore's open paw. The manticore stared at Fluttershy for a sec and then lowered his paw, revealing an blue-indigoish thorn.
"Oh, you poor, poor little baby."
Rainbow looked confused. "Little?"
I shrugged at her.
Fluttershy took out the thorn. It must've hurt, because the manticore picked Fluttershy up and roared in her face. We all thought he was finally gonna eat her, so we screamed, "Fluttershy!"
But then the manticore purred and started licking her mane. Fluttershy was giggling and talking to the manticore. I guess beasts also say their thank-yous.
I left Twilight and Fluttershy alone and trotted toward everyone else.
We were only a few meters away from our second scary encounter when Rarity started complaining about "This icky muck."
That's when I heard AppleJack step in mud. Fluttershy screamed.
"It's just mud..." Applejack trailed off when she saw the scary thing in front of her.
Five of us were scared. I literally screamed at them while they were screaming, "THEY'RE NOT THAT SCARY!!! CALM DOWN!"
"CALM DOWN!? HOW CAN WE CALM DOWN WHEN THERE ARE CARVED TREES AROUN---" Rarity started to bellow. She had heard Pinkie laugh.
"Pinkie, what are you doing? Run!"
"Leave it." I whispered.
"Oh, girls, don't you see?" Pinkie started singing.
When I was a little filly and the sun was going down...
"Tell me she's not-"
The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me frown...
"She is..."
I'd hide under my pillow
From what I thought I saw
But Granny Pie said that wasn't the way
To deal with fears at all
"Then what is?"
She said, "Pinkie, you gotta stand up tall
Learn to face your fears
You'll see that they can't hurt you
Just laugh to make them disappear."
Ha! Ha! Ha!
We all gasped.
So, giggle at the ghostly
Guffaw at the grossly
Crack up at the creepy
Whoop it up with the weepy
Chortle at the kooky
Snortle at the spooky
And tell that big dumb scary face to take a hike and leave you alone and if he thinks he can scare you then he's got another thing coming and the very idea of such a thing just makes you wanna... hahahaha... heh...
Laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuugh!
We all fell to the ground and laughed.
[CUT]
We were still laughing when we reached the creek.
We then heard a crying sound from the bushes and went towards the sound.
There it was, a sea serpent about 50 feet tall and 1 foot wide, with a purple body and orange hair. But the guy was still sobbing.
"Excuse me sir, why are you crying?" Twilight asked in a polite way.
"Well, I don't know. I was just sitting here, minding my own business, when this tacky little cloud of purple smoke just whisked past me and tore half of my beloved mustache clean off, and now I look simply horrid!" The sea serpent cried, then went back to sobbing and the water he splashed on drenched us.
"Um, excuse me, sir, what's your name?" I asked him as politely as possible.
"Name's Steven Magnet." He said between sobs.
Then Rarity came over and started complimenting Steven. It was until the last words Rarity said that he went back to crying.
"I simply cannot let such a crime against fabulosity go uncorrected!" Rarity vowed, and ripped a scale off Steven. The serpent yelped.
"OW! What did you do that for?" Steven asked
"Rarity, what are you-" Twilight asked before being shocked.
Rarity had cut her tail. Officially.
But I guess it gave Steven a new mustache.
"Rarity was generous enough, huh." I told Ivy. She nodded.
[CUT]
We were closer to the castle but something managed their way into this part of the forest. A timberwolf.
"Star, be careful!" Twilight called before the wolf's stinky breath hit her and she fell asleep.
I racked my brain to remember the spell to wake the girls, but no spell came. The breath got me after all.
"THAT'S IT!"
I marched towards the timberwolves. They conjured up the breath smell. I blocked it with a Shield spell.
"Can I ask why you are doing this?" I asked the wolves. They did not reply. Tapping. For some apparent reason, wolves can learn Morse code. I learned them too. Survival skill. They are saying, A pony has sent us. We obliged after her promises. We cannot stop, even by the means of you. Unless....
"May I use a spell to help you? I didn't come for no reason, you know." The timberwolves shifted back and forth, thinking about it. Alright. Fine. We may not be able to stop that pony, but we won't bother you until you have what you want here and forevermore, but only you.
"Okay, remember your promise!" I did an Aromatherapy spell. The timberwolves left the clearing. Thank you.
I finally remembered the thing and cast it upon the girls. They finally woke up.
"Let's get outta here before the timberwolves come back." I told everypony, and we trotted away from the scene.
"How did you do that?" Twilight asked me.
"Just coaxed them. They got me motivated, that's all."
"Oh."
Then a invisible wall appeared in front of us. We bumped into it. I only saw black for a few moments before seeing that Ivy was painting a really complicated and artistic flower to open up the wall.
"Such creativity..." Twilight said. She's deep in thought.
The wall opened and we ran in before it closed again. Ivy swooped in at the last minute.
"Ha!Creativity wins all!" Ivy said cheerfully, and we hoof-bumped.
"Ah! The castle of the two sisters!" Twilight yelled.
We saw a pretty much broken-down castle and a broken down bridge.
"We're almost there! Whoa!" Twilight yelped, she couldn't get up.
Rainbow Dash pulled her tail and she got on land. "What's with you and falling off cliffs today?" She asked.
"Now what?" Pinkie sighed.
"Duh." Rainbow told her, wiggling her feathers at Pinkie, then flew up.
"Oh yeah!" Pinkie said.
Dash flew down and grabbed the rope. I saw her at the other side.
"I'm gonna see what's up- whoa!" I yelped when somepony grabbed my tail. It was Applejack.
"She's gonna be alright. You saw her at the town hall."
"Oh ok..." One thing I know is that I can't get motivated at my friends.
We don't know what else happened because a Shadowbolt covered the bridge with fog.
"OH COME ON!" I screamed.
Then Rainbow flew quickly toward us and did a pose before we walked across the bridge.
"See? I'd never leave my friends hangin'." Rainbow told Twilight as we walked to the other side.
"OH. MY. GOD."
We entered the castle. But I see the elements in sphered stone. Wat.
"The book said: when the seven are present, a spark will cause the eighth Element to be revealed."
"What in the hay is that supposed to mean?" AJ asked.
"It means that the eighth element will appear when the other seven are available and the pony puts their magic on it." I told her in the most descriptive way.
"Alright."
"I just need everypony to stand back." Twilight instructed us.
We left because she needs to focus.
While we were outside, I drew in the grass with Ivy. Then I heard Twilight and we barged in. Twilight was nowhere to be seen.
We looked all over the place.
Then Rarity called to us and we galloped next door.
We were just up the stairs when Twilight finished her battle. She had lost. But I levitated two orbs out of Nightmare Moon's reach before she can destroy it.
"...because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right here!"
We all posed for no reason.
"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of... honesty!
Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of... kindness!
Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of... laughter!
Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a meaningful gift represents the spirit of... generosity!
Singing Star, who was able to make us escape the timberwolves by reasoning with them to leave represents the spirit of... motivation!
Ivy, who painted off the magical barrier with a really artistic drawing represents the spirit of... creativity!
And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire represents the spirit of... loyalty!
"The spirits of these five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us!"
"You still don't have the eighth Element! The spark didn't work!" Nightmare Moon stammered, frightened.
"But it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all... are my friends!" Twilight said. Then light shone on top of her. Nightmare Moon shielded it with her wing. "You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of... magic!"
Then the stoned elements began to shine brightly and it became necklaces and tiaras. We joined them together and a gigantuan rainbow shot out of us and towards Nightmare. I heard her scream "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Then everything went black.
We then woke up. It was still night.
"Ow, my head!"
"Everypony okay?"
"Did we do it?" I asked everypony.
I heard a squeal and saw Rarity admiring her tail. I face-hoofed.
Everypony started admiring their elements. Then day came.
A few seconds later Celestia appeared. We all bowed. Well, except Twilight, who went up to her mentor.
Celestia congratulated us and went to a mare with a lighter blue coat, light blue mane and a black mini tiara.
"Princess Luna."
Luna woke up with a gasp.
"It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. Time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule together, little sister." Princess Celestia said to Princess Luna.
"Sister?" everypony asked. I said, "DUH!"
"Will you accept my friendship?"
Luna hesitated, then jumped towards Celestia. Said her apologies. Yay.
Pinkie started to cry. Then stopped. "Hey you know what this calls for?"
[CUT]
"A party!"
We were having fun. Then Ivy tapped me on the shoulder.
"Star, look." Ivy was pointing to Twilight, who was looking gloomy.
Celestia came over. "Why so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?"
Twilight said her reason. We were looking gloom anyway.
Celestia smiled, then said, "Spike, take a note, please. I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission for Equestria. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must report to me her findings from her new home in Ponyville!"
We all cheered and crowded around Twilight.
" Oh thank you, Princess Celestia! I'll study harder than ever before!"
YAY.
