#3: A Griffin With Help From A Starlight  
In Equestria:
Starlight Glimmer was sitting with her Staff of Sameness in her hands. She wanted everyone to be the same. She felt like everyone had to be the same, because that was the only way people could have friendship.
Then, Gilda the Griffin flew in.
“Oh, the griffin.” said Starlight. “What is it?”
“I have an idea.” said Gilda.
“Better be good.” said Starlight.
“You want everyone to be the same, right?”
“Yes.”
“And I want revenge on Pinkie Pie for making me lose my cool near Rainbow Dash, right?”
“I guess.”
“Well, I have a plan where we can both get what we need…”
Season 2 episode 22- Vengeance is Mine:
Karai had just mutated into a serpent. Leo felt so upset. He loved Karai.
They were back at the lair everyone was silent. April was sitting with them. Then, Princess Cadence came.
“The Princess!” said Mikey.
The turtles got on one knee and bowed, all in a line. April was confused.
“Who the heck is that?” asked April.
“Just bow.” said Donnie.
April bowed like the turtles were.
“I am Cadance, Princess of love.” she said.
“Is she a mutant?” asked April.
“A what?” said Cadence.
“Nothing.” said Leo.
The turtles shot April a look.
“What?” said April.
“Something happened that you must see.” said Cadence. “Bring your weapons,  just in case. You too.” she looked at April.
They all grabbed their weapons, and returned to the Princess.
“Excellent.” said Cadence. “Let’s go.”
In Equestria:
Before the turtles arrived, Starlight agreed with Gilda’s plan. It would start that night.
The Princess, turtles, and a puzzled April appeared in Equestria.
“Pretty.” said April, in awe over Celestia’s Kingdom.
“Follow me.” said Cadence.
They walked into Celestia's castle. April was amazed. She looked around, so she was a little behind.
Cadence once again lead them to the Elements of Harmony. Except, the element of Loyalty’s color was fading.
“What’s wrong with that one?” asked Mikey.
“It has been detached from it’s owner for too long.” said Cadence. “If it’s owner does not come soon, it will disappear forever.”
“Really nice castle!” said April. The closer she got to the element of Loyalty, the brighter it’s color became.
“Wait,” said Leo. “Take a few steps back, April.”
April did. The more steps she took, the more the element lost it’s color.
“That’s it!” said Cadence. “April, you are the element of Loyalty!”
That night:
The turtles decided to stay the night in the castle, because April sensed something was going to happen.
She was right. Gilda and Starlight Glimmer were going to make their move.
They were going to steal Princess Celestia and Princess Luna’s crown.
When everyone in the castle was asleep, they snuck into the castles. Star went to Luna’s castle, and Gilda went to Celestia’s castle.
“Okay,” whispered Gilda. “Be very quiet.”
“Got it.” Star whispered back.
Starlight reached the castle. She cast a spell to sneak in past the guards. Once inside, She went to Luna’s bedroom, and stole her crown.
One down, one to go.
April’s senses were exploding in her mind so much, it woke her up. She heard someone else in the castle, but no one else could hear.
She walked out of the room, and saw Gilda, leaving with the crown.
“Stop!” said April.
"Not a chance.” said Gilda. She hit April with her wing. The blow was so powerful, April was knocked unconscious.
That morning:
April woke up. Her hands and feet were tied. She was in the Celestia’s dungeon. She saw Starlight and Gilda with the crowns.
“You won’t get away with this.” said April.
“We already have.” said Gilda. They locked the door, and left April.
Princess Luna flew as fast as she could to her sister’s kingdom.
“Your crown was stolen, too?” she asked her sister.
“Yes.” Celestia said sadly.
“Where’s April?” asked Donnie.
“Did the thief kidnap her?” asked Luna.
“We must find out. The element of loyalty might lead us to her. It is again losing it’s color.” said Cadence.
The three Princesses flew up with the elements of harmony in a chest, but the element of loyalty was held by Cadence. Luna and Celestia were carrying the turtles with their horns.
“We’re just getting farther.” said Cadence. They flew the other way, and the element lead them to Celestia’s dungeon.
It was right there the whole time.
“Seriously?” said Raph.
They walked into the dungeon, and freed April.
“Hello, former Princesses.” said a voice. They turned around, and saw Gilda and Starlight.
“Give us back the crowns!” said Mikey.
“Never.” said Starlight. They put on the crowns. With a powerful magic spell, both crowns turned navy blue. Starlight got wings, and Gilda got a horn.
They were alicorns.
“No!” said Celestia.
“We are now royalty!” said Gilda.
They started to fight each other. April hid the elements of harmony, without being seen.
Gilda and Starlight were incredibly powerful, now that they had alicorn magic. They couldn’t be stopped. Starlight’s Staff of Sameness turned into a real and powerful one.
While the turtles and the Princesses were badly hurt, the new alicorns were not. It’s like they were never even touched.
“Face it.” said Gilda. “You can’t defeat us.
“Forget this.” said Celestia. She grabbed the elements of harmony, and threw them in the air.
Leonardo got the element of Generosity.
Donatello got the element of Honesty.
Raphael got the element of Kindness.
Michelangelo got the element of Laughter.
April got the element of Loyalty, which appeared on her fan.
And Cadence got the element of Magic.
They attacked Gilda and Starlight. With that attack, the villains and the crowns were turned back to normal.
Gilda and Star were put in the dungeon.
“They’ll be in there for a while.” said Celestia.
“Thank you.” said Cadence.
The turtles and April bowed while sitting on one knee, and the Princesses bowed.
“I will now send you home.” said Luna.
“Wait.” said April.
“What is it?” asked Donnie.
“I sense something coming,” said April. “and it’s not going to be pretty.”
The turtles waited as long as they could, but nothing happened. They decided to just go home. But April swore she wasn’t lying...
The end!
