Later on, the Masked Matterhorn showed her wings to Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. The Oracle was there too standing alongside Sunset Shimmer and Moondancer.
"What do you think?" the Masked Matterhorn asked. "What does it mean?"
"Simple." Princess Celestia said. "You passed your exam."
"Huh?" the Power Ponies asked simultaneously.
"Don't tell me you haven't seen it for yourself, young one." the Oracle said. "The leadership you displayed with the Power Ponies. The judgment you showed when you decided to trust Princess Luna in the lab. The sacrifice you made by removing your mask in front of the whole world. The bond you share with your friends even away from different realities. Those are all the traits needed for your next phase."
"Welcome to our circle, Princess Twilight Sparkle." Celestia congratulated.
"Hold the phone!" Filli-Second said. She pulled out a glass of water and took a sip. She then spit her sip out of her mouth.
"I understand this is a complete shock," Celestia said, "But I want you to understand that you have earned this."
"Awesome!" Zapp shouted. "We've got a princess super hero now!"
"Thank you." the Masked Matterhorn said. "I understand everything now. If I hadn't met the Power Ponies before, I would've accepted the Asteroth's offer in a heartbeat. But in the end, friendship always trumps power. I am proud to be part of my team and I'm proud to be a Power Pony."
"I just have one question." Saddle Rager said. "What's going to happen to the Mane-iac?"
"Look outside and see for yourself." Princess Luna said.
The Power Ponies looked to the street and saw a bunch of doctors dragging a crazed Mane-iac with her mane tied in a knot.
"BLACK!" she yelled getting dragged into the ambulance. "I DO SEE BLACK, YOU KNOW! IT'S EVERYWHERE!" The door slammed shut and the ambulance drove away.
"Weirdest villain ever." the Masked Matterhorn said. "But I guess that wraps up this."
"Well, I hope that's it." Princess Luna said. "The Asteroth may be gone, but I'm worried about escalation."
"You're scared of electronic stairs?" Filli-Second asked.
"No." Princess Luna said. "It's just that every time something happens, something bigger happens on the other side. For example, the Masked Matterhorn came. And now, back in Maretropolis, there's this super-villain unicorn with some kind of magician theme."
"That's probably a problem for another day." Radiance said.
"But first," Filli-Second shouted, "do you know what this calls for?"
"A PARTY!"
Canterlot Gardens was decorated with streamers and balloons and everything a party needs. As soon as the Power Ponies appeared, a crowd of ponies cheered.
"The world is changing, huh?" Princess Luna asked her sister.
"I'm afraid so." Princess Celestia said. "The best thing we can do is try to change with it."
"I'm ready to try." Luna said. "No more secrets. No more distant watching. No more separation."
"I'm proud of you." the Oracle said. He turned around toward the exit.
"You're leaving?" Princess Celestia asked. "The night's still young."
"Sorry, but Sunset's still got some learning to do." the Oracle said. "Have a good time, everyone!"
The Oracle left the area. Celestia and Luna looked at each other. They were about to say something, but they were interrupted by Filli-Second.
"COME ON, EVERYPONY! LET'S GET DOWN! VINYL..."
The DJ set down a record and played it. Out the speakers was a loud music that was cheery. Filli-Second took the microphone and started.
"We've had our twists and our turns
And our times for complete self-doubt
But in the end, we've all been able
To stand proud and stout
Many obstacles have really tried
To keep us out of place
But we've managed to leave
With a smile on our face
You've got my hoof and I've got yours
We don't need to think twice
Life is nice
If we have fixed what we broke
Yes, we can learn from each other
I know we can love another
Forever
Become the best folk
See, life is a party. You need to celebrate
Bring in the love and drive out the hate
If you're upset, you can always turn it around
The future can bring problems, but don't run away
If there's no tomorrow, then just live today
Just listen to all that happy sound
What's lost is found
NOTHING CAN BRING US DOWN
NOTHING CAN BRING US DOWN
WHEN FRIENDS CAN START, WE
CAN HAVE A PARTY
THERE'S NO NEED TO FROWN
NOTHING CAN BRING US DOWN"
"All right." the Masked Matterhorn said. She reached out her hoof and accepted the microphone from Filli-Second. "My turn.
"I've kept myself in the background
Thinking friendship doesn't last
But everyone here has proved me wrong
So now, I leave the past
Even though this test was not
Exactly what I expected
I'm just glad to have these ponies
HAVE MY LIFE PERFECTED
And even though life is messy
We have it under control
Ever since we were foals
No matter how strange
I know friends don't make any sense
I admit, I was also that dense
But I'm glad I took the chance to change
Keep your guard up and you will miss your shot
Your life's precious 'cause it's the only one you got
I learned that in my time in this town
You can learn a lot more outside your book
It's a real world out there. Just take a look
It's ten-times better than the brightest crown"
"What's lost is found," Filli-Second sang.
"NOTHING CAN BRING US DOWN," the Power Ponies sang,
"NOTHING CAN BRING US DOWN
AS LONG AS I HAVE YOU
WE'LL SEE IT THROUGH
AND WE CONTINUE TO ASTOUND
NOTHING CAN BRING US DOWN"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah," Vinyl sang,
"NOTHING CAN BRING US DOWN," everyone sang,
"NOTHING CAN BRING US DOWN
I COULD NEVER ASK FOR MORE
OUR FUTURE'S SECURE
OUR FRIENDSHIP IS SPELLBOUND
NOTHING CAN BRING US DOOOOOOOWN"
"Is this the end already?" Hum Drum asked.
"Oh, no." Filli-Second said. "This is only a prequel. There's a lot more stories later."
