Trixie shook her head and looked about the castle, feeling a certain sense of awe at looking at the stone walls. Rainbow Dash flew to the air, looking for the portal. Will took a few steps forward and found in the antechamber where the elements were, two giant rainbow doors, "Guys? I found it!"

Twilight gasped in a combination of awe and excitement."Yes!" She ran over and pushed her hooves onto the door.        

As the doors began to slowly open, they could hear a low rumbling. Snarling and growling was heard as they began to look around.Twilight sighed as she brought out Equinox,"Oh, come on!"        

Some timberwolves appeared, but were completely burned away by fire, wind, water, and earth. Will smiled, "Girls, is it really you?" 

Her jubilation wa cut short when the four mares walked out from the shadows, "Not quite," whispered a redhead as she held up a water sphere.

Valtor  opened the door as he looked to Servant, "And who are they?" 

"Old friends of mine. Altimeres that I had to use some magic to craft," Servant said, a soft smile on her lips. "I do know they will be a good enough distraction. ."

"Will, are those?" Applejack asked, looking at the pegasus as she hovered on the wind, and then to the blonde pony pegasus as she crafted flames. then she looked at brown earth pony with vines coming from her limbs.

"No, those aren't my friends, I... never saw them before in my life."

"Well, whoever it is we got this," Dash said. Only to find herself enveloped in a blue aura.

"No, you girls have a job to do," Trixie said, throwing Will and the bearers into the portal, and then slowly began to close it. There was a confident smirk as Trixie said, "Don't worry Trixie has this. She'll keep them distracted, just get the freaking heart before Valtor does.” and with that, she closed the door in front of the 7        

Trixie gulped and then narrowed her eyes at the four, spinning her spear at the ponies, "Trixie...is going to hurt.”





Twilight gasped,"Trixie!" She sighed,"Must she be so dramatic!?" She turned and growled.



Fluttershy sighed as she looked at the door, "Trixie..."


In front of them was a single white hallway, with a glowing white doorway at the very end.She'll be fine," Twilight said, looking at Fluttershy,"She's survived worse." She walked towards the light.

"Wow, what a nice welcome," Dash said, rolling her eyes as she looked at the end of the long hallway and flew towards it.

There was a large circular room, where a cyan alicorn stood, her eyes blazing red and her mane a flowing auburn. She charged her horn as she stepped forward.

"What one earth?" Rarity asked.

"Um, excuse me, Ms. Alicorn who are you?" Fluttershy asked.

"I am your God." It said,"And your judgement given form." She charged her horn, firing a beam of white light on them.


Fluttershy gasped, using her wings to protect them all. Will looked up at the alicorn, "God? But you-"

Samus sighed as she looked at the eight mares before her, "Look guys, before we go against God, there is something I have to say."

Regina, a griffon, held up a bottle, "Oh, look out, the big mare is gonna make a Nyx style speech!"

"I don't make friendship speeches all the time!" Nyx argued, a little red on her black nose.

A yellow pegasus with a black primary feather giggled, "You do hun."

"Sunny, protect your finace, the princess commands it!" Nyx said, holding her hoof up.

A pink filly giggled and looked up from her comic, "What are you trying to say sissy?"

"Thanks Puppy," Samus said, lowering her head and smiling, "This isn't easy for me to say. I have always been the type of girl who fought alone. Go in, kill everything that hated me, and go out. I never really thought about what I had left behind, or what my actions had done to the world."

Another pegasus nodded, "You left a lot of places better."

"Yes, and in some cases worse. The thing is, I am a bounty hunter, and I thought a hero. I guess I am, but you guys helped me learn something important, when it comes to being a hero," Samus began. "It's hard to stay to your ideals, because there are always something or someone that will make you question it. You can and will be forced to see things that you don't want to see. However, though you may question them, a hero can stay true to who they are without losing that ideal.No one is truly perfect and there is no black or white. Most importantly, you taught me to value something I just threw away."

"And what is that?" An Elk said.

"Friendship," Samus said, rubbing Puppy's head. "I saw what it means to have friends. When Armstrong forced me to see those images, you protected me. When I kept getting cut down, you reminded me why I was a hero. And for that... I thank you guys."

A grey unicorn mare held up her bottle, "Don't cut yourself short. If it weren't for you, we’ all be alone or dead. So, you saved us." Little Pip smiled.

A zebra in a cloak looked on as Samus made her speech, and smiled.


Samus nodded and looked up at the cloud barrier...

Take my life, 
Take my land

Samus Aran appeared before Will and smiled, "Will."

Will shook her head, seeing the fight commence between the six mares. With a shout, she looked at the symbol, "Twilight, come here."

Twilight blocked the laser with a shield as she went to Will, the scenery changing to an arena above the clouds. She looked down, seeing a shotgun, a small device and a revolver, a staff, a sphere with a lightning bolt inside, three guns and a feather, a shield, and a pegasus feather with a cyborg leg. A voice rang in her head,"Touch one, she will help you!" 

"I recognize that voice..." Twilight muttered as she looked at Will,"We must touch one of these."


God flew above them, yellow energy surging through her hooves as she punched Applejack. Applejack reeled back from the blow and struck back with two of her own. Rainbow dash flew in from above with lightning kicks.

"Which one?" Will asked as she touched the three guns

The symbol glowed, summoning a griffon to shoot  at God. God dodged the gunfire before firing a white beam of light back at them.

Pinkie Pie giggled, "Ooh, let me try!" she said, bouncing and pressing the button with the staff. 

Applejack leapt onto the back of God and wrapped her hooves around its neck to pull it back for Rarity. Rarity charged and and slashed it, "And what gives you the right to call yourself our god?" the mare asked as growled.

God flailed, twisting and thrusting before catching Rarity's blade with her hooves,"I am greater and more powerful than you!" 

An elk appeared, and used her staff to launch Pinkie towards God.

Pinkie Squaled with joy as she brought out her large hammer and smashed god's face. Fluttershy looked at the shield and hit it, while Rainbow Dash joined in and touched the feather.

God gasped as she was sent reeling back. The feather produced a cyborg pegasus and the shield produced a black alicorn. The pegasus brought out a rainbow colored pistol and fired a lightning bullet God, while the alicorn brought out a sword and looked at Twilight.

Twilight nodded as she went to her and brought out Equinox and they both ran at God, slashing at him.

Applejack jumped off and pressed the lightning bolt orb, leaving Rarity to press the device. Will fired her lighting, "Being powerful doesn't give you that right!"        

As the orb was pressed, a deep guttural voice boomed,"Does it, now?"

God stopped in her tracks as a platinum spear-like tail went through her,"You did your job, now I'll kill you." A creature with a diamond shaped head, long talons and a platinum, smooth body appeared from the shadows.

Little Pip fired her gun at the thing, hitting him in the eye.

A pony in a suit of purple and silver armor appeared, her horn charging with power as she laughed,"Figured you'd be here, Ridley."

Twilight blinked,"Um, why are you talking? The others didn't speak."

The mare turned to Twilight and shrugged,"I don't know, I don't even know why I'm here." She looked at Ridley and fired on him. She stepped back with Twilight.

Twilight blinked,"And you're not disappearing either."

Will looked at the being in armor, "S-Samus" she whispered, feeling some sort of connection as the Heart of Kandrakar glowed softly.

"Wait, is that a dragon?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"You know, Ah knew we would be facin’ one of them sooner or water," Applejack said, looking back to Dash with a smile, "Fastball special?"

Nodding , Rainbow Dash picked up Applejack and threw her, the earth pony's hooves bared.

Ridley sent up his claw to grab Applejack, wincing as the earth pony hurt his claw.

Samus blinked,"Will, how did you know my name?" She shook her head before turning to Ridley and chuckled,"Answer that later, let's handle this As-"

"Language! I expect that of the bad guy, not of you." Fluttershy admonished.

"A-hole..."Samus muttered, before firing missiles from her horncannon at him.

Ridley looked at them,"I created that shade to test your abilities, I know your styles now,"He charged his mouth with blue flame and fired a long breath fire on them.

Fluttershy stood in front of them, using her shield to protect her friends. Rainbow Dash generated lighting on her wings to strike at Ridley and shocked him

Ridley growled as the lightning shocked him, before Samus fired a green beam at his mouth. He flew up and went around several times, creating three speed mirages that fired beams at them.

Rainbow Dash flew after Ridley, her own speed catching up. Twilight began to form a shield to protect them while Rarity lifted up rock and threw them for Applejack to buck at the dragon.

The dragon attempted to swat the rocks away before getting knocked aside by Rainbow. He and Rainbow went into the horizon, becoming dots that struck several times before Ridley was sent flying into the arena. He kneeled, coughing as Twilight fired a beam of energy, dissipating him and the room back into a white void. Yet, Samus still stayed.

Dash smirked, "And that is how you do it." she flew down to Twilight and high hoofed her.

Will turned to look at Samus, "Thanks for your help, Miss Aran."

Samus' armor came off to reveal a yellow mare with a green mane and tail wearing a blue suit,"No problem, Will." She looked at the door beyond,"I think I'll help you with the rest. Knowing tests like these, there'll bound to be more dangerous obstacles later on."

Twilight put a hoof to her chin,"Okay...”

Rainbow Dash flew up and saw a chamber with a elevator, "Ok, didn't think a place like this would have elevators."

Samus' eye twitched,"Aw, come on!" She yelled to the heavens.

Twilight sat in the elevator and hummed to herself,"I don't see why you're upset..." She said as the elevator stopped at a glowing door.


Beyond the door sat Nightmare Moon, who was drinking tea with a white alicorn that had a platinum blonde braided mane.

The seven looked at the scene and could only remark, "What?!"


Nightmare Moon smiled,"Welcome. Have a seat." 

The white alicorn turned and looked at Will. She got up and slowly walked to her, tears filling her eyes,"Will?"

"Y-yes?" Will said, confused.

"The elements where they always have been,right behind me!" Taranee, now a brown earth pony said. 

"What?" Nightmare Moon said.

"It's simple. What is a spark, but something that ignites something else. A passion or in this case, friendship," Taranee looked at Sunset, Rarity, Lightning Dust, Spitfire, Pinkie and Octavia, "Those six have shown so much of that during this journey. Pinkie’s generosity, Rarity’s honesty Octavia’s loyalty,Lightning Dust’s laughter, and Spitfire's kindness."

"And I suppose you're Magic?" asked Nightmare moon.

"No, I'm not from this world, But Sunset is. And together, they'll take back the night!" Taranee said.

In a white void she smiled at Will "Darkness. Come home Will!"

"How do you know who I am?" asked WIll

The mare put a hoof to Will's face,"You... of course." She shook her head,"It's me, Elyon."

Twilight gasped,"I recognize your voice! you spoke to me in a dream!"

Nightmare Moon looked at the group,"I wasn't actually a villain in this world. In fact, Valtor didn't even summon this world."

"E-Elyon?" Will said, blinking, before smiling in realization and hugging her od friend.

"What do ya mean, summon?" Applejack asked

Elyon hugged Will, tears flowing from her eyes,"You remember! The Heart of Worlds is doing its job!"

Twilight looked at Elyon,"What do you mean?"

Elyon looked at Twilight,"As time goes on, as you get closer to the heart, Will will regain her lost memories."

Nightmare Moon sat back,"Valtor is using worlds that are connected by his claws to summon memories of past villains to stall you. Normally, they were to fight you, and you were without any help, but Queen Elyon used a spell to access memories of heroes from those worlds to give you aid, and summoned this one to give you sanctuary."

“So that means he's ahead of us?!" Applejack asked, growling in rage

"Oh Elyon, I am so happy to see you again," she cried, and the Will asked. "How did you get here?"

Elyon smiled,"I was able to access the Heart of Worlds normally, having the Heart of Meridian's power does that." She looked at the rest of the group,"Yes, unfortunately he's ahead of you. It's taking all I can just to send these shades and talk to. Already I'm feeling my presence here wane." 

Samus raised a hoof,"I have a question, how am I staying here?"

Elyon looked at her,"Each one of these worlds have been tampered with by Valtor, thus he is able to use them against you. I used memories to help you. However, you, Samus, have been in each one of them, which means you are able to help in each world. As for your sentience in comparison to the others, I can only guess that your own willpower is keeping you here for as long as they are in the Heart of Worlds. Once they are done with the last world, though, you will disappear ."

Dash smiled and high hoofed Samus, "Still awesome to have her here though!!        

Samus high hoofed her back,"Aw yeah."

Elyon looked at her transparent hoof,"I don't have much time here," She looked at Will,"Will, trust in them, and they will help you. The worlds beyond this one will get more and more difficult, but I have faith in you." She gave a sad smile,"The others are coming, I promise,"She said as she slowly began to disappear.

Will stepped forward, "Elyon, wait!. Where... are they?" She then sighed, lowering her wings as she sat, letting out a little sniffle. She then felt six other hooves onto her back.        

Samus smiled,"Will, they're probably with me right now, and we're going through a world where we had to fight an insane Goddess of Order, but we're fine." she said as she put a hoof on her back.

Twilight nodded,"I know that they will come for you now, and they do exist."

Nightmare Moon sat back,"You can stay here to rest, but once you leave, there will no longer be a sanctuary for you."

Pinkie Pie bounced to Nightmare moon, "So, what kind of world?"        

"What do you mean?" Nightmare Moon asked.        

"Well, you said you can from a different world and I was wondering what kind you came from," Pinkie said.        

"Well, when Celestia used the Elements on me, I turned them against her, thus earning me the victory. This lead to a lengthy thousand years where my eternal night ruled, but seeing that my ponies couldn't be fed, I made a deal with Discord to grow crops without sunlight." Nightmare Moon explained,"Of course, later on I found out that Celestia had been depowered and was wondering the earth as an old mare for all of my rule, and that's what my Element Bearers used the Elements to do: Give Celestia her strength back.

"Quite an interesting story," Rarity said, drinking some tea.

Will smiled, "Good job, Taranee."


Nightmare Moon smiled at Will,"If it were not for her, I would not have reunited with my sister."        

Will smiled as she watched the others walk to the next door, "Come on, Will, we need to go."Dash shouted, walking to the pegasus.        

Nightmare Moon waved to them as she and the room disappeared.

The next room had a staircase leading to a room with an alicorn stallion wearing a long billowy black cape. He had white hair and piercing red eyes.

"Oh, dear," Rarity said, shaking her head, "That cape..."

"Oh definitely a villain, look at his hair," Pinkie said.


Ghaleon cocked his head at Pinkie,"What do you mean?"        

"Well, world destroying bad guys have white hair like that. I mean, Trixie wanted to some destruction for a while," Pinkie giggled.

"And just who are you?" Applejack asked.

Samus nodded,"Yeah, do you know how many people I've fought that wore eyeliner and a white wig that keep calling themselves 'Sephiroth?'"

"I am the Magic Emperor, Ghaleon." Ghaleon said, the area around them changing to a sky fortress,"I terrorized my world to revive the Goddess Althena."

"She didn't want to be revived, Ghaleon." Samus said.

"That's horrible," Fluttershy said.

(Will saw a fight between Samus, Taranee and a few others. She watched as a young girl ran up the stairs to a trapped soul, and she was singing.

Taranee sighed" Song."

"Wouldn't you move the world to bring back someone you care about?" Ghaleon asked Fluttershy.

Yes, but not if meant hurting others,” Fluttershy said

Ghaleon chuckled,"Then you truly are a better mare than I." He charged his horn as several orbs came swerving at them.        

Fluttershy sighed, "That's because I have been able to fill my life up with something more than just romance. I was able to fill my life up with friends who told me to get out and become something more. To teach me that it’s ok to be afraid, because they’re there to wash away my fears."

I'm not a mare
I'm not a stallion
I am something that you'll never understand

Fluttershy flew up and blocked the orbs, allowing for Rainbow Dash to fly under her and strike at Ghaleon while charged with lighting. Applejack used her lasso to pull Ghaleon to Rarity who slashed him with her sword. Pinkie looked to Fluttershy and smiled

I'll never beat you
I'll never lie
And if you're evil I'll forgive you by and by

Brining out her party boombs, she threw them at Ghaleon. Ghaleon stepped back from the blows, his horn charging as he flew up and struck the ground with lightning. He landed and began to walk towards them. Growling, Ghaleon could feel a drumbeat making him sing in a different tone.

Your butt is mine
Gonna tell you right
Just show your face
In broad daylight

Ghaleon began to moonwalk backwards as he threw blows at Applejack

I'm telling you
On how I feel
Gonna hurt your mind
Don't shoot to kill

He used magic to strike at Will's mind

Come on, come on,
Lay it on me
All right...        

The girls screamed as the lightning coursed through their bodies, hitting them hard. This left Applejack open to the blows from Ghaleon. Will struggled to get up, but the mind attack caused her to scream in pain.

(Will finds herself in darkness, alone. Then she sees twelve hooves reach out for her. Looking up, she can see the smiling faces of her friends, "Almost there" she whispered as she took the hooves. As she did, she saw someone else's' memories.

"Sissy is the best!"

"Hey, you protected my friends, thanks," Irma said.

Hay Lin giggled as she hugged Samsu, "Thanks for showing up. Now we can go find Will and the others."

"She...did she go on a long journey too?


In the background she could hear the element bearers singing

U - I would die 4 u, yeah
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u)

Will shook her head and fired a stream of lighting at Ghaleon

I'm not your lover
I'm your friend
I am something that you'll never comprehend


Rainbow Dash was the first to recover and flew at Ghaleon, her wingblades extended

No need 2 worry
No need 2 cry

A tornado began to form as she started to cut Ghaleon

Twilight looked down, and noticed four symbols, a lightning bolt, a sword, a dragon, and a wave of water. She nodded to Will.


Ghaleon gasped as the blades cut into him. He tried to grab the lightning but it shocked him.

I'm giving you
On count of three
To show your stuff
Or let it be...
I'm telling you
Just watch your mouth
I know your game
What you're about

Ghaleon flew over to them, a wall of fire coming at his hooves, before he kicked it.

Well they say the sky's the limit
And to me that's really true
But my friend you have seen nothing
Just wait 'til I get through...

He summoned a bolt of lightning at Fluttershy, only for Samus to catch it and then redirect it back at him.

A mare in dragon armor, a stallion with a big sword, a colt with sorcerer's robes, and a griffon with a mace appeared out of their symbols.

Ghaleon made several swords appear as he struck at them, began to move towards them and proceeded to summon beams of light at them.

Because I'm bad, I'm bad - come on
(Bad bad - really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad - you know it
(Bad bad - really, really bad)
You know I'm bad, I'm bad - come on, you know
(Bad bad - really, really bad)

Ghaleon flew up into the air, and summoned a meteor above them.

And the whole world has to
Answer right now
Just to tell you once again,
Who's bad...

Rainbow Dash Picked up Fluttershy, helping her to get her shield to the various ponies as they fought

I'm not a pony
I am a dove
I'm your conscious
I am love
All I really need is 2 know that
U believe


Applejack joined in, ignoring the cuts and slashes to deliver blow after blow into Ghaleon's body

Yeah, I would die 4 u, yeah
Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u

Ghaleon gasped as he flew into the air in pain

The word is out
You're doin' wrong
Gonna lock you up
Before too long,
Your lyin' eyes

He slammed his hooves into the ground, causing it to shake.

Gonna tell you right
So listen up
Don't make a fight,
Your talk is cheap
You're not a man
You're throwin' stones
To hide your hands

Ghaleon spun around and kicked a tornado to them.

Rainbow Dash let out a shout as she spun a counterbalance to the tornado

Yeah, say one more time

U - I would die 4 u

The ponies stood as one, weapons drawn and magic ignited, as Twilight took the lead.

Darling if u want me 2
U - I would die 4 u
2 3 4 U

I would die 4 u

Ghaleon screamed as he tried to block the beam with his own.

You know I'm bad, I'm bad - you know it
(Bad bad - really, really bad)
You know I'm bad - you know - hoo!
(Bad bad - really, really bad)
You know I'm bad - I'm bad - you know it, you know
(Bad bad - really, really bad)
And the whole world has to answer right now
(And the whole world has to answer right now)
Just to tell you once again...
(Just to tell you once again)
Who's bad?

He screamed as the beam destroyed him.


Rainbow Dash had a smirked as she high fived her friends, "That was awesome!!!"

"I feel a little sorry o\for him. I wonder why he would go so far for that in his world. Will are you-" Fluttershy paused and smiled when she saw Will hugging the illusion of Taranee tightly.

"Don't forget me, be safe," Will whispered.

"I will, Will. Good luck," Taranee said, fading away.

Taranee looked to Samus "Samus, did we see Will when we fought Ghaleon?"

"Not that I can recall," Samus said shaking her head.

"For a brief minute, I thought I saw her. I don't know why I thought about that world, it just came to me," Taranee said, smiling softly.

Samus put a hoof to her chin,"Why is it that everytime I'm in that world, we start singing?" She asked as the door before them opened.

Twilight shrugged,"I didn't notice."

The door was a spiraling staircase leading upwards, "Onwards and upwards," Applejack said.

Will began to walk with Samus, "Do you know, how are they. Is there anything you can tell me about what they are doing?"

Pinkie Pie bounced up the steps, smiling, and then looked down at the void, "Wow!" 

"What is it...oh my," Rarity said, getting a good look around her. All around them there were many lights, many portals. Some stairs and elevators were working, others were broken. But each seemed to be heading to a place that was far out of sight of the traveling party.


Samus smiled,"There's no harm in telling you." She looked at Will,"They miss you. Going through each world? It was hard, but you were the main reason they kept going. Trust me, they've seen some awful things, but they kept fighting, because they knew they had to find you again."

Twilight looked around,"Where do we go!?"

Will smiled as the light shown up ahead, "We go up." she said wiping a tear from her eye as she walked to the top of the stairs and opened them.

Once inside of the room, they found themselves in a deep dark cave. A tree symbol laid in the back, "What the?" Applejack asked.

Twilight looked around as she went to the center,"Who’s here this time?"

There is a slow plod of hooves along the ground, "So, this is where the heart led me all this time. Into the battleground between the guardian and the dragon. But, to complicate matters, there is the advent of the element bearers here as well," the black cat pushed up his glasses with the heel of his palm. 

"Look at that Twilight, he's like...

"Mirage," Pinkie gasped looking at the cat man in the long black coat.

Twilight turned with a glare,"Who are you?

"Black-Cat Kuro, leader of the Black Cat Pirates," Kuro then sighed. "Sadly, my grandest plans were all ruined by the Guardian of Earth and the Navigator who is Guardian of the Heart now. I had everything in hand. The plague was working perfectly until the Heart broke it."

Nami sighed, "I realized she wasn't my mother, but you messed with my heart you bastard. I was actually happy to have a mom again and you took it from me."

"Nami, I can handle him, you break the heart and save my sister" Cornelia said)
"You almost killed her," growled Will.

"Plague!? You don't mean the Hate Plague!?" Twilight gasped.

Samus growled,"I heard about you. You used Nami's own mother against her!"

"That wasn't her mother... just some woman who disguised herself. See, I knew it would drive her to find the heart and come to me," Kuro said, pushing up his glasses. "She had one of the many gems I sought. The one that could unlock the Heart of Worlds."

"You bastard!" Applejack shouted, "Using her mother like that, even if it is a copy, is just cruel."

"So, that is life," Kuro said, shrugging.

Twilight frowned,"You're the second cat person I'm mad at!" She looked at the others,"I'm not going to become racist because of this, am I?"

Samus growled,"You lowly son of a Biii-gun!" She charged her horncannon.

"If you really think you can beat me, then try," Kuro said, moving side to side. Then in an instant, he vanished. Then, claw marks appeared on each of tje girls bodies.

Samus growled as the claw marks skidded her armor,"Damn it!"

Twilight gasped,"Oh, you want to go that fast, huh?" She put her horn to the ground, turning it into ice.

Applejack growls, and then saw the ice. Smirking she ran to the front of the ice and readied a punch. Smiling Pinkie Pie put on ice skates and make little divots, forcing Kuro to slide and slam into Applejacks hoof.

Twilight ran up to Kuro and zapped him with a magic bolt.

Kuro let out a scream and collapsed to his knees. 

"Well, that was-"before Dash could say anything more, Kuro's body began to glow black and red

Twilight stepped back,"Um, what's happening?"

Samus scanned Kuro with her visor.

“Specimen is gaining the power of the hate plague. Danger level rising to 10%” Her visor said.

Cornelia and NAmi stood back to back, one was glowing green and the other with the elements. "Let's do this.”

Cornelia stood with her sister as she smiled at Will. "Navigator. a heart dedicated to sisterhood."

"Did he just become?"

"The epitome of the rage virus? Yes!" Kuro began to laugh.

Twilight frowned,"Pinkie?"

"You got it!" Pinkie said, leaping at Kuro and wrapping around his neck. "What i...” he paused when he saw his power dissipated," Uh oh..."        

The group nodded,"The big uh-oh!" They said as they all, minus Flutters punched him.

Fluttershy just shook her head disdainfully

The world around them turned back to white as Twilight smirked,"That wasn't too hard."

Samus snickered,"Yeah, wait til the next one." She began to laugh.

Rainbow Dash looked at the room as a set of stair appeared, leading to a large coin, "Can that be me?" she asked herself.

“What was that?" Samus asked as she walked just behind her.

Rainbow shook her head,”Nothing.”

The next room was a large bank, with symbols on the ground:A dollar sign, a gas gun, a rock symbol, and a fireball.

Will looked down, "Cornelia, and Taranee's symbols."

"But what's that other stuff?" Pinkie asked.

"None of your concern!" Shouted a duck who floated in the air. Her black hair flowing behind her.,

"What on earth?" Rarity said, looking up at the floating dukcc.

"That's a duck, why is that a duck?" Applejack asked.

Rainbow Dash looked wide eyes, "Magica De Spell? There is an universe where she’s real!?"

"What?" Will asked shocked, "They have Ducktales comics in this world?"

A quick flash of memory went through her head "Elyon, I don't believe it. Scrooge comics in Meridian."

"Yes, seems to be an universal constant. Dunkin Donuts, Scrooge Mcduck comics, and Pizza." Elyon said.

"Yeah, she was like my favorite villain on that comic," Dash said.

Twilight shrugged,"I was always more of a Gargoyles fan."

Samus looked at her,"You too!?" they high-hoofed each other.


Magica laughed,"I'm glad I am so recognizable!"

Will shook her head as her mind flashed back.

"Oh, this is so exciting! I can't believe we are actually here!!!" Taranee cheered.


Cornelia sighed and smiled at Will, "Childhood. Will, we are watching you, don't worry, we'll keep you safe.


"Shame we are gonna have to beat you," Rainbow Dash smirked

"No, it is you who will be beaten!" Magica charged her wings as she summoned bolts of lightning at them.

Samus grabbed the lightning in her hooves and tossed it to the side.

Lightning crackled around Will's wings as she took off into the air and threw her lighting bolts at Magica

Magica put a shield around herself for the lightning and then sent a fireball Will's way.

Rarity used her blade to cut the fireball in half and sent out Vorpal to cut the ball in half. Then she spun her blade in a circle to stab at Magica. Pinkie Pie giggled as she pressed the gas gun button

Magica gasped as the blade went into her shoulder. Then her eyes went wide as a duck in a purple outfit came out swinging on a grapple to kick her in the face.

Pinkie Pie smiled as she held onto the duck and kicked Magica in the stomach, Applejack and Dash hit the buttons in sync, bringing out Cornelia and Taranee who fired their elements together. Fluttershy looked at the coin button and hit it.

Magica flew back and barely got up when a duck in a top hat came up to her, glaring down at her.

"Oh, no. Not you!" Magica whimpered.

"Yea, me!" Scrooge said as he walked back and used his cane to launch Pinkie at her

Pinkie giggled and spun in a ball to hit MAgica straight in the stomach.

Magica gasped as she slammed into the wall,"Valtor didn't pay me enough for this!" She said as she disappeared.

Scrooge nodded as he turned and walked away into the light,"Ya did good, ya did good."

Pinkie Pie wiped a tear away, "Why am I crying?"

Will ran to Cornelia and Taranee, giving them both a hug, "Will, Y-you are..."

"Ok," Cornelia cried hugging Will tightly. "We have been worried. Are you doing ok Are you fine?"

"I'm ok, Cornelia, don't worry," Will said to their fading images.

Cornelia looked to Samus, "Samus, we didn't have Will wiht us back at Duckburg? Did we?"

Twilight put a hoof onto Will's shoulder, and nodded.


A white pipe appeared in the middle of the room.        

"What," all but one asked. 

Pinkie Pie smiled and ran to the tube, "I got to say this place knows how to have fun. WHEEEE!!!!!!

Twilight raised a hoof,"You know what? I'm not even going to ask." She said as they all went into the pipe.

The pipe then appeared and all of them were now 8-bit sprites.

"What?!" Applejack asked, her dialogue box being written out beneath her mouth.

Samus' dialogue box appeared,"I feel at home like this for some reason..."

"I don't!" Dash said, her sprite bouncing up and down, "I just feel weird."

Pinkie giggled when her text box popped up, "That's because the room hadn't updated to 16 bit yet, I think that's over there!

The group went over to the next room, where Samus exclaimed,"Ah! I can finally move my arms diagonally! And now I can crouch! There are so many new directions I can take now!"


Applejack's dialogue box then appeared," And I can even lift things easier."

"Yeah, but I think this is a Super NES, no blast-processing," Will frowned. Then she bounced up and down, "So where is the villain?"

---------------------------------------------------

Dark Conquest ran out of the studio for Fall of Starfleet, "Paradox, what is going on? Icy is supposed to appear in this fight!"

Paradox had a pair of glasses on as she looked over the script,"I don't know! It's like she ran out!" She took her glasses off,"We have to find her! Otherwise, we'd lose readers!"

Dark Conquest, "Readers, we have readers? My fic gets more than that and the other guys still haven’t read the latest chapter of Fall of Starfleet yet." Looks at you "For shame!" 

"Look," God boomed, coming from the Darkest of Tides set, "I don't care what we have to do but we have to come up with something!!"

Dark Conquest shook his head, "Look, Doxy, you find Icy, I'll just throw some random video game gags at them!"

-----------------------------------------------

"My word, is that a giant tetris block coming at us?" Rarity asked.

"A..." Twilight blinked, her eyes going wide,"Must. Place. Neatly!" She said as she tried to grab it.

Several more blocks began to fall towards Twilight, while music played above


"What in the hay? Rainbow, can you make-"

"Can’'t hear you, busy!" Dash said, getting into an advanced car "Come on, Falcon."

"Show me your moves!"Captain Falcon said, before driving Dash off



Dash then leapt out to punch Shao Kahn

"Rainbow Punch!"


Will then shouted, "Captain Dash!"


Twilight squeed as she began to place the blocks together.

Samus growled,"Well, we lost two! Now what!?"

"Pray that we don’t find something that'll distract Pinkie-"

"Wheee!!!" Pinkie Pie said, dancing alongside a red creature with two eye stalks and a big yellow-brown blob



"Well, we lost her," Applejack said with a frown.

Fluttershy sighed, "Well, at least I know that hey-IS THAT A ROWLETT?" she squealed, chasing after the 16 bit pokemon.

"I do hope that the writers will fix this," AJ said following Link 

Samus shouted up to the heavens,”Hah, I’m already a video game character! What are you going to do with me!?”

Iron Man flew in from the sky,”Samus, we need your help.”

“Oh.” She shrugged as she followed Iron Man to New York City

Rarity gasped as an Arwing appeared and opened it’s cockpit for her,”Yay!” She jumped in.

"Well, if if if if-" Will stuttered.

That was when everything was covered up with a blue screen.

-----------------------------------------------


Dark Conquest spat out his coffee, "SHIT!!!" 

"What happened?" God asked, seeing the blue screen.


"I was trying to update the game to become playstation era, you know like the joke tradition followed, but then this happened," Conquest said, hitting the side of the screen.

"Buck, and Para isn't back yet-"

*Elsewhere*

A little bunny with big eyes said, "She went to the beach." as Para left, the cute sweet bunny looked down at the fox. "Now, it’s time to die!" she said, holding up the bloodied knife"

"HELP ME!: screamed the fox, his legs missing.

*Back here*

"We need to do something!"

--------------------------------------

When the screen rebooted, suddenly the gang were looking at Titan from the Immortal Game... and they looked like muppets.        

"Girls," Twilight said,"I think I'm a muppet."        

Pinkie Pie smiled, "YAY! I always wanted to try being a muppet!"

"You will bow to me!" Titan said, bringing out his sword and slashing lightly at them.

--------------------------------


"Really? Muppets?" Dark Conquest yelled.

"You have the controller!"

On some beach.

Icy drank her tea, "Man, it’s good to finally have a vacation."

"Hello, Icy~" A voice said from behind her.



--------

"No!" Twilight said, bringing her sword out and fighting. Samus began to fire little plush pellets at Titan.

-------
Icy shivered, "That is not Paradox, that is no paradox."

Closing her eyes, she turned to the sound.


----------------------------------

God smiled, " I think I god it!"

--------------------------------------

That was when everyone was a block cgi sprite and the perspective was top down.
-------

Paradox grabbed Icy,"Yes, it's Paradox! Come to put you back to work!"

------------

Samus looked around,"What happened!?"

Twilight turned,"I don't know, and why is everyone talking funny!?"

"What! Talking, funny?" asked Rainbow Dash.

"Twilight, what do you mean!?" Rarity asked.

----------------------------------------

ICy grabbed onto her chair, "No! I just found a good spot, I won't go back there!!!

Paradox snapped her fingers, turning the chair into whipped cream,"You're going back!"


------------


Twilight pointed,"Your mouths! They're robotic!"

"So yours!" Will shouted, "I guess what is what happens when you are the master of unlocking!"

------------------------------------

"I won't not to that insanity, who knows what they will do," Icy screamed, "Beat me off screen in some one-off gag!"

Paradox shook her head,"I promise that won't happen! Come on, it's not gonna be that bad!" She said as she dragged the struggling Icy away.

--------------

"Ah!" Samus shouted,"That acting!"
----------------
Icy screamed, "No, I don't wanna, you don't pay me for this!!"        

"How about I pay you 500 bucks?"Paradox suggested.

"1000 and a cameo in Fall of Starfleet!"        

"Deal!"        
----------
As the bearers all rode chocobos while three metal gears chased them, Will thrusted her hoof into the air, "I think I know what's happening!"

"What?" asked Applejack.

"The Fallout roleplay is getting intense!" Will said.

Twilight blinked,"What do you mean? What does that have to do with anything?"        

"Well you know how it goes!" Pinkie said. "Every time one of the rps get a little more darker and intense than the other the hacks up there make one lighter to help the mood."

"They always seem to do that!" Will said, "Let me see what's going on over there," she then used the heart to rip a temporary hole to look at the Fallout rp.

Samus looked in,"Aw, I remember that." She sniffled.        

The metal gears stopped chasing them and sighed too.        


They all watched the RP and began to cry as the scenes played out.        

ICy bellowed from the other side, now looking like a balloon, "I didn't cry, not one bit. The writer is a hack!!"

Samus blinked,"Why are you a balloon?

"These two idiots called Bub and Bob attacked me!" Icy cried.

"Bub and Bob?" Twilight asked.

At that point, two little dragons came up behind Icy and kicked her in the shins. This caused Icy to turn back to normal, "Bub and Bob!" she growled, writing own in her to kill page.

Samus scoffed and rolled her eyes,"What a weenie."        

"I am not an-uh oh," Icy said, seeing the buttons rise. " Oh no!" running over, she began to try and stop them from rising.

“Buttons?" Twilight asked.

ICy growled, "You know, these little things" she said pointing to the button of a mushroom with eyes that winked at her and a little tornado. "See.. oh sh-”

Twilight smirked as she and Rarity pushed those buttons, summoning Princess Peach, who was showering.

"Eek! Warn me!" Peach said before grabbing her pink dress and putting it on.

Will stood there and got her vision. Which is basically self-indulgent because this basically me celebrating how I had worked for two long years on this thing. I mean, can you believe it? Two years, I have done this thing for two freaking years!!!


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T59EDTqqW0A

Hay Lin smiled, "Fun. It was fun, we need to come here some time

That was Hay Lin appeared out of a cake and threw the pie to Pinkie. 


Peach then hit Icy with a frying pan before Samus decked her.

A tornado hit Icy hard before she looked to the audience, "Don’t worry guys, the cool stuff is incoming. It's just that the Fallout stuff got really good," then she was blasted against the wall

The room went back to normal.

Twilight sighed and lowered her head,"Thank Celestia..."        

Pinkie Pie giggled, "That was so much fun! Let's go again!"        

"No!" Was the response most of them gave as a black door appeared before them.

Will shuddered a little, "Why do I feel cold?" she asked herself as she pressed her hoof to the black door, opening it.

"I'm scared," Hay Lin shuddered.

Irma lightly punched her, "Eh, stop being a whimp.

What?" Will asked herself, "Irma would never-"

“Girls, listen to me!" Will shouted as a woman in golden armor began to walk to them.

"Shut up , you are such a little twerp!"

Will backed away, as she did, the memories stopped, "Will? Something wrong?" Applejack asked.

"Getting memories, that aren't my own. They're my friends,but they are saying something I know they would never say," Will said, shaking her head. Turning her head back up at the door, she gasped when she saw the next memory that flashed through her.

Will backed away, seeing her friends corpses in front of her, "No, you killed them." Trembling Will held out her hand, "Please Galaxia, spare me, you can have the heart."

The woman in armor could only sneer as she stabbed Will.

Will screamed and backed away, "My friends, she..."

Fluttershy went to Will and put a hoof onto her shoulder, "Will? Will it’s ok, we are all here."

"T-that world, it's poison." Will stated simply.

Samus frowned as she went to the door,"That world..." She turned to them,"It is world devoid of any heroes. Most that tried to stand up to the ruler, Queen Galaxia, end up dead, or insane." She shuddered,"Going through that door will lead us to nothing but terror."

"But there is no going back." Twilight said, walking up to it,"We have to do this, otherwise, Valtor will win!"

Samus nodded,"We have to be careful, for Galaxia was one of the most powerful creature the Guardians and I have ever faced. Only one thing was stronger than her."

"A gal who took on you and the guardians all at once and you call her strong," Applejack let out a whistle, "Hate to see that."

Before she could open it, Dash pushed the door open with Twilight, "Like Twilight said, we have to go. If we don't Valtor wins."

And Will might lose more of her memories! Pinkie Pie added.

They entered to see a plane of destroyed buildings and wrecked vehicles. Bodies were strewn about the area as a mare with a red mane and golden armor sat on a throne. On the ground where the earth, water, and fire symbols.


"Oh my," Fluttershy trembled as she moved to stand next to Dash.

The cyan mare growled, "You, did you do this?"

"You... were the woman who killed my friend," Will said. Then she shook her head, "No, you killed another me's friends."        

Galaxia stood up and looked at Fluttershy,"Fear? Good, that is what I enjoy seeing." She looked at Will,"And I shall do the same to you." She charged up her horn to blast them with golden energy.

Twilight went in front of them to put up a shield, only to watch it break,"Oh, buck me." She said as she was thrown to the back.

Rarity used her magic to catch Twilight, "Are you alright?"

Will frowned and growled, "You heartless monster. I will make you pay."


"My grandmother, she she-"

"It's ok, it will be all right," Cornelia said, hugging her.

Hay Lin smiled, "Do you know why we won this fight?"

Will flew into the sky and threw a lightning bolt at Galaxia.

Twilight shook her head,"I'm fine, the armor took the brunt of the hit." She looked up and fired a magic bolt into Galaxia. Galaxia used both hooves to catch both attacks when a missile from Samus hit her in the face. The smoke cleared into an unfazed expression.

Rainbow Dash flew in slashing at Galaxia with her wings. Using her rope, Applejack tried to pull Galaxia at Dash while Pinkie Pie fired round after round of her party cannon.

Will looked down at the button for fire 

"That monster, she could've. I-I-"

"But you didn't Cornelia, "Hay Lin smiled, "Because we're here.

Cornelia smiled, "We all had something they didn't."

Galaxia pulled Applejack up towards Dash, before growling at the confetti,"What is this stuff?" She fired on Pinkie.

"Confetti mix with a few bits of the batter I use in my piezooka," Pinkie said, yelping and ducking under each blast, one shot singing her mane. 

Rarity side stepped and slashed with Vorpal while Fluttershy used her wings to blow the confetti around Galaxi.

Will nodded as she began to hit each circle, a flood of memories hitting her

Taranee, Cornelia, and Hay Lin smiling and laughing with one another. Playing with some puppets.

Taranee speaking to them, Though Will can't make out the words, she can see tears from her eyes.

Taranee stepped forward, "We had the will. We knew you were there waiting.

Samus ran under her, firing her hyper beam into the queen before Galaxia flew down to Rarity to fire a beam into her. She frowned as she noticed a bit of her armor cracking.

Rarity let out a shout of pain as the blast hit her backside. Concentrating, she sent Applejack into the air so she can get a hit.

Will smiled as the three figures appeared from the symbols, each holding their magic. With almost a silent nod, each girl ran to their respective element bearer.        

Galaxia grunted as she felt Applejack hit her,before knocking her off and looking at the Guardians with their bearers. She charged her horn and sent a sweeping laser at them.

Cornelia used a rocky pillar to send Applejack into the air, While Fluttershy ran under her to use the shield to block the sweeping lase. Hay Lin used her tornado to keep Rarity hidden, Allowing her to use her sword from behind while Wil struck out with her lighting. Taranee used her fire magic to turn Rainbow Dash into a living fireball,

Twilight used her magic to make her own lightning to combine with Will's to strike at Galaxia.

Galaxia attempted to block with a shield, before a super missile came with the blows, breaking it and throwing her to the ground. She got up and growled, her armor turning black and her teeth sharpening. A hideous laughter came from her as her coat turned gray and two black wings sprouted from her body.        

Will panted, a scowl on her face," Of course there is a one winged angel form, there is always a one winged form."

'Galaxia' laughed,"Yes, it's always going to be that way!" a new male voice spoke with her,"Behold, my true form."

"Hatred." Samus growled.

"Please, Sammy, call me Dark Conquest!" The thing laughed.


Dash leaned to Pinkie Pie, giggling, "Dark Conquest, what a name."        

"Why did you call him Hatred?" Will asked.

"Hey, my momma gave me that name!" Conquest said. He smiled,"I'm powered by hatred, you see, and this world was full of it! But at the time I came here to take over, I was weak, so I used Galaxia as a vessel for my power."

"How could you?" Fluttershy said.

Rarity shook her head, "How horrid, feeding on hatred, and using somepony else for your own deeds!"

Twilight frowned,"Wow, feeding on hatred?" She shook her head,"How... sad."

Dark Conquest growled,"Don't start with that! I already had trouble with another version of you doing that!" He charged his horn,"Now I'm going to kill you before I lose again!"

"Shame," Dash smirked.

"Ya already lost!" Applejack said, running to Conquest to upper cut his jaw.

Will took flight and began to throw lightning bolt after lightning bolt at DC

Conquest growled as he grabbed Applejack's hoof before feeling the lightning strike at him,"Tell me, what is it that gives you hate?" He said, raising his hoof, before Twilight zapped him with a bolt of magic.

"I-" Rarity paused as she went in with a sword swipe as she could almost feel Conquest going into her innermost thoughts.

Selfish nobels, giving them a bad name. How dare they even call me common,. Ooooh, there are days when I hate my parents!

she shuddered and shook her head, "Wha?"

Applejack pushed Rarity out of the way, and then groaned,

Ah can't stand liars! Ah hate them, Ah hate the bandits that killed my pa.

Dark Conquest chuckled,"Yes, feed me your rage!" He turned to the reader,"I always wanted to say that!"

Samus gasped,"He's looking into your- argh!" She felt something dig into her skull

Damn pirates, killing my parents. Damn God, Goddess, Ridley and all those who hurt innocents! I hate them all!

Twilight growled, as she felt him dig into her mind.

How dare he hurt my friends? How dare Mirage harm those I care about!?

Conquest laughed,”Yes, feed me your rage!” He turned to the reader,”I always wanted to say that.”


Will shouted, flying at Conquest, trying to ignore the buzzing in her head.

He killed my friends in this world. I hate him, hate him, HATE!!!!!

Rainbow dash shuddered, "No, oh no not-"

The hate plague in her body made her think of something she was trying to shun "You hate them, all your friends you despise them

Pinkie raced to each of them, "Girls come on, please!"

Stupid Limey! How could she make Marble cry! It wasn't her fault, I hate her!

"Hey, that was just that one time! I didn't hate her that much, I was just a little mad!" Pinkie shouted.

"Maude, I hate my parents! I hate them. Would it hurt so much for them to smile at least once at my jokes or to let me play with something other than rocks?"

"Pinkie, You don't mean that.You don't really hate them

"She's right, I never hated mom and pop, I was just angry that one time!" Pinkie shouted in defiance.


In Fluttershy's mind was a void, no hatred.

Conquest laughed as he floated in the air, sending out bolts of lightning at them,"Yes, your hatred is so delicious!" 

Twilight looked Pinkie and Fluttershy,"They're actively fighting it..." She looked at Samus,"You thinking what I'm thinking?"

Samus smirked,"Ever played volleyball?"

Conquest suddenly found Samus right in front of him, grabbing his hooves,"Oh, you Sammy, are a banquet to me. Tell me, what makes you think you can beat me?"

"I can't. I'm just a distraction for Applejack."

Then Conquest was kicked up into the sky, before Rainbow and Will flew up,”Spike!” Rainbow shouted, spiking him down to Twilight and Rarity who used their hooves to knock him towards the waiting hooves of Pinkie Pie. 

Conquest turned and widened his eyes,"Not again." He said in a high pitched voice. He felt Pinkie Pie grab a hold of him causing him to burn,” This will not be the last you'll see of me, Twilight! I will have my re-" He was cut off as his entire body turned to ashes and the room became plain white.

We conquered him," Cornelia said, smiling.

"Because we had each other," Haylin nodded.

"And all of your memories," Taranee said.



Hay Lin looked to Samus, "Um, Samus...I think we need to call Techna. Something's screwy, I just thought about the Galaxia world.

"Why? That place was-"

"Yeah, but Will was there!" Hay Lin said. "She was cheering us on and telling us to not give up!"

Taranee shook her head, "This...this is impossible. We never had Will in those adventures."

"That can only mean," ...

"She's calling to us!!!"

"Two more." Samus said,"One world with Irma, and the world of Chaos and Order."

Twilight smiled,"You know, surprisingly, Galaxia was tougher without Conquest..."

"Well, duh!" Dash smirked as she flew ahead of the group, "Because he couldn't handle this!"        

Twilight shrugged,"Hatred's a stupid thing to power up on anyway,"She said as she went through the door.        

"Personally I prefer to power up on cakes, cookies and ice cream!' Pinkie said bouncing ahead of them.

The room began to change, into a circular room. Slowly stepping out from four doors was a pony with a long black cloak, a crouched unicorn with a crooked smile, a mare with a pink mane, and a mar e with a long green mane, Rarity was the first to remark, "Ugh, how garish."

"Oh, four?" Twilight asked,"That's different."        

The mare with long green hair smiled, "Well, when Valtor touched this world, he had us all attack and destroy people's lives," 


"I assume the heart broug t all four of us here because of our battles.” The stallion in the cloak said.

Twilight looked around,"Okay, how are we dividing this up?"

Samus slammed her hooves together,"I can get the strongest."



"Perhaps" the pink maned mare whispered, "We draw straws?



"You want the strongest Samus, you mean me," Battle whispered.

Samus smirked,"Good." Her horn cannon charged,"Any one want to join me? There would be two each."

Applejack smirked, "I'm with ya."

"Oh, dibs on the creepy scientist," Pinkie bounced, taking Twilight with her.

"I think I'll handle the mother,' Fluttershy said, Rainbow Dash joining her towards the pink maned one..

Will looked at the witch, "Guess that leaves me and Rarity

Twilight frowned at the professor,"I don't know why, but looking at you makes me mad."

"Why thank you," the scientist bowed.

That was when the ground began to shake, making eighteen round buttons appear around them. Nine of them had a symbol of a planet glowing in a bright color. The other nine each had a flag on it, with an unique jolly roger on it: A straw hat, a long nose skull, a swordsman, a chef, a skull with an ok, a reindeer, a cyborg, a skull with many hands, and a cyborg. In the center was a water drop, "Holy!" Dash shouted.

Twilight gasped in shock,"Think there's enough buttons!?"

(eighteen people stood facing of against one another, and then a light flashed leading them to stand together s won, facing four. Irma appeared to Will, "It was crazy over here. Probably one of the more epic adventures you had ever seen.. that's what happens when you see the Heart of the Pirate: Home, friends, and dreams.)

Will’ eyes charged with electricity as sh charged to Darcy hitting the button to commence the fight, Irma appearing in ablaze of water

Twilight flew to Tomoe, hitting one of the buttons.

Samus charged her Ice Beam as she hit another button.

Irma looked to Will, and smiled when she blasted the four with water, distracting longe enugu to the battle proper to begin. As Twilight ran at Tomoe, Pinkie hit a seperate button and fired her part cannon as a woman with short blue air fired ice along side a little reindeer who struck with his horns.

Battle held out his hand and burned the ice beam with a smile,

Samus frowned,"That's near sub-zero temperatures, you are doing the impossible!" She shook her head as she fired at the flames repeatedly.

Twilight grabbed Tomoe and threw him at the reindeer.

"Black flames," Smiled Battle as he fired a black fireball,

Tomoe screamed as the reindeer knocked thin to the air and got slashed by a girl in a short cut hair. 

Mother moved to the left of Rainbow's hit, watching as Dash sped up to keep in front of her eyes. That was Mother saw Fluttershy began to hit the three buttons in a row, summon a woman with orange hair that launched thunder balls after thunder balls, a young girl with ice smacking her lips, and a woman with long black hair using her hand to punch Mother

Samus ducked under the fire ball before touching a button.

Twilight teleported up to Tomoe and struck him with Equinox.

When Samus touche the button a guy with a straw hat appeared, delivering multiple blows a onc. Applejack followed the movements and stuck hard, wincing at the burns on her armored hoof

Twilight flew up and began to blast at Tomoe.

Samus ran along up to Battle and used her Ice Spreader missile on him.        

Applejack hit two more buttons, summoning a girl wielding a scepter that fired a blast at Battle. As he was blinded by the shot, Applejack ran in and began to deliver blow after blow into Battle's stomach.

Mother shook her eyes, trying to look past the dust that Fluttershy kicked up. In between her coughs, Rainbow Dash began to slice and cut at her with her wing blades. 

Darcy leapt side to side, throwing dark bolts at Will, keeping a distance away from Rarity's blade.        

Samus breathed in and out, letting yellow energy come over her before she began to strike Battle in his stomach.

Twilight flew into Tomoe at high speeds.

The four villains stood back one side, panting, and staring down at the eight. Just the same, the eight stood at the other side, growling, staring at their opponents with an iron will determination

Twilight scraped her hoof on the ground, ready to charge them.        

The was a lone silence for but a brief moment. Then wind the wind picked up, blowing a bit of dust across the battlefield, that was their cure to charge at each other all at once. Their hooves and pells striking at one another. And, in a blink, it was over, ""Ok," Dash looked around, watching the room slowly faded away, "Who else wants some?

Twilight sheathed her sword as the world faded away,"Rainbow, don't give them ideas!"

A bright doorway appeared before them. A sense of calm came over the Bearers and Will.

Samus frowned,"Cosmos,"

"Who?" asked Will as she flew next to Samus.

Rarity sighed, "My word, it feels so... peaceful."

"Yeah, Ah kind of like it," Applejack said.

Samus growled,"Cosmos. In the world we went to, we were thrown into a war between a man who wanted to destroy, and a man who wanted to control. After we beat those two, she came." She looked at Will,"You see, after a being known as Chaos was killed in the world we went to, Cosmos went insane, and tried to take control of the world for herself by keeping everyone's minds the same, removing all free will." She looked at the Bearers,"She was tough to beat because if you had a heart of order, she could take control of you."

Twilight would go through the door and see Celestia standing before her,"Princess?"

"Hello, Twilight, come into my hooves." The princess beckoned towards her.

Will would see Taranee, Hay Lin, Irma, and Cornelia sitting together,"Will, you came!" Hay Lin said.

“G-girls?" Will asked, her eyes wide as she ran to her friends. "What are you doing sitting around here?"

"Abbigail," whispered a voice.

Applejack turned her head, "Momma?"

"Sweetie Bell?" Rarity asked seeing her little sister waving.

"What's going on?" Fluttershy asked.

"Fluttershy, dear," Fluttershy's mom called.

Fluttershy smiled, "Mom."

"Pinkie," Maude stood, with a rock in her hoof.

"Maude!" Pinkie giggled as she ran to her sister."

"Hey, Dash!" Rainbow Blaze flapped in the air,"Come on over here."



"Dad?" Dash asked, then winced and began to groan, "Why am I hurting so bad.' Her eyes shot up, "The hate plague..." she winced a little more as she flew to her father

Samus gasped as she saw the eyes of the group go blank as a six-winged, eight legged white alicorn with a flowing blonde mane and tail appeared before her,"Cosmos!" Samus said, firing her rainbow colored Hyper Beam at her.

Cosmos stopped the beam shots before picking Samus up in her white magic,"There is no princess to stop me now. They will join me as they were meant to."

"Girls, I missed you so much. Taranee, Irma, Hay Lin, Cornelia. I want you to meet," she looked behind her. "Where are they?"

"Where are who?" Taranee asked.

"MY friends. The element bearers: Twilight, Rainbow, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rarity," Will said.

Irma sighed and hugged her, "I wish this could be a little longer. But Will, I'm not real."

"W-what?" Will asked.

Cornelia sighed, "You are stuck in a dream that Cosmos is holding you in. The only reason why you aren't fully under her control is-"

"-Because this is just a heart image version of her, A memory. Besides," Hay Lin touched Will's heart of Kandrakar, "this is ight now pulling you towards us.You know this is near the end of your journey. Now, come on."

"You know they are waiting, Twilight will be the first to reawaken," said Elyon

Cosmos slammed Samus to the ground,"They will stay here, in my hooves..."

Samus coughed,"That's where you're wrong..." She laughed.

Celestia smiled, holding Twilight's hoof,"Twilight, this is hard for you to believe, but I'm not real."

Twilight blinked,"What do you mean?"

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Celestia asked.

For a brief second, her md flashed. She was back at the castle of two sisters "Twilight!" Again her heart felt warm when she was there.

"Friendship isn't easy, but it is worth fighting for!" Standing against a being of chaos, she was not afraid.

"Twilight Ah-" the apology fades. She was scared, frightened that she messed up once so many times, but one look in her eyes reminded her why she would always forgive them.


"You look like a princess," a faint whisper, a calm voice that said one thing. No matter the change, they would always be by her side.

"How can we protect Equestria?" Dash asked, but Twilight knew the answer, she always new, because they would stand together through hell if need to.

A spool of thread, a small singet, a coin, a flower, a rubber chicken. Seemed so small, yet they meant something more. A magician's cap and a yearbook showed more than just an item. Then Twilight could see Will's hoof sticking through a portal, "Twilight."

"So Maude, I have got to say that-" Pinkie turned to see Twilight, a rubber chicken on her back. "Sorry Fake Maude, but I got to go. Hero thing." Pinkie grinned before skipping away

Dash looked at a wonderbolts badge that hung on her vest, glowing a slight purple, "Dad... See ya!" she said before flying off.

Rarity pulled on a rainbow thread to give to Sweetie Belle. Sweetie Belle then smiled and waved her away. Rarity nodded.

Applejack growled, "You keep pulling that card, thinking it can hurt me. Well, you're wrong. Ah am stronger than that!" She walked off, rage in her eyes.

Fluttershy gave her mother a hug, "Mom," she said looking at the flower in her mane. "Tell Zephyr, I love him. Bye."

they then each reached out a hoof for Twilight.        

A light flashed as they all woke up. Twilight turned to Cosmos with a glare.

Cosmos knocked Samus away,"How did you escape?" She said with a cock of her head.

Will could only smirk, "You are Cosmos, Harmony... can't you figure it out?

"Friendship? That's impossible, Friendship is one of my domains, you could not escape with that!" Cosmos said, walking towards them.

"Wrong, "Dash said, stepping forward.

"The moment she came into the picture, it became hers," Applejack nodded to twilight.

Will shook her head, "No, you're wrong. It's only one part of the puzzle. It belongs to all of you. Something like friendship, shouldn't be held by any one pony. but by a group. It's why the elements are at their strongest when all are together

Cosmos chuckled as Samus got back up behind her,"That is a nice speech." She charged her horn,"I admit, I would be proud of you if I didn't want to force into my hooves right now!"

In a flash, Applejac wrapped her rope around the horn and pulled it up. Fluttershy used her wings to blow dust into Cosmos eyes while Pinkie Pie fired her party cannon at her stomach. Rarity slashed both their legs while Rainbow Dash began to grab Cosmos/ nc, "Samsu, Twilight, Will, now!" Wll smiled a she fired a bolt of lighting at Cosmos

Samus and Twilight both fired beams at Cosmos. A shield of energy came over the alicorn as she used it to drive everypony back,"This would be easier if you just gave in." Cosmos frowned, unfazed as she stomped towards.

"Did you just tell us to give in?" Applejack asked, smirking

"Yes, but you won't, will you?" Cosmos asked, her horn glowing, her face an expressionless mask,

"Not," Rainbow Dash started

"On," Applejack continued.

"Your" Rarity smiled

"Ever" Pinkie added

"Loving" Fluttershy said

"Life!" Twilight shouted.

"Very well," Cosmos summoned a large orb of light at them, only for that orb to stop in mid-air. The sound of cackiling was heard as a transparent paw held the orb.

"Oh, Cosmy!" Discord's voice chuckled,"It's been too long!"        

"Discord?" Fluttershy gasp        

The air above them peeled off to reveal Discord's form. He patted Fluttershy on the head,"Hello, Flutters!"

"Chaos, stay away from my children." Cosmos growled.

"What are you doing here?" Fluttershy said.

Discord grinned,”I felt Cosmos’ energy, and I knew that this version of her was bad news, so I came to lend a paw!”

"Hey, the big dumb lizard-horse thing can hang out with who he wants. He’s..." with the next word she let out an audible shudder, "Flutters’ friend."        


Discord winked at Rainbow,"I'm your friend too, Dashie!"

"He is a poisonous creature that doesn't deserve to live!" Cosmos growled.

"He's also a living being and has a right to live like anypony else," Fluttershy objected        


"Yeah, and besides, at least I know where I stand." Discord stuck his tongue out at her,"You don't know anything."

Cosmos walked towards Fluttershy,"You are defending him?"


"Yes, because he is my friend. Because I think anything deserves a chance to live how her wants.' Fluttershy said.

Cosmos smiled,"That is why you are my favorite element, Fluttershy." She said, reaching her hoof out before Discord batted it away.

"Oh, no, you ain't getting them again!" He grabbed Fluttershy and flew out of the way, and then blew Cosmos a raspberry.        

Fluttershy could only let out an eep as Discord grabbed her.

"You ain’t getting any of us again," Applejack said walking around her and narrowing her eyes.

"Shouldn't a being of pure harmony not play favorites with the elements?" asked Rarity


Cosmos thought for a moment, as her horn glowed, pulling the bearers' weapons from them and over to her,"You are right, I should go with with all of you."

"Hey, I liked that cannon!" Pinkie said, watching her cannon flying away.

Rainbow Dash frowned at the lost of her wing blades, "What are you doing with our weapons!?"

The weapons floated alongside Cosmos as shadows formed around them.

Rainbow's wingblades disappeared as a pink blur slammed into her. The pink pegasus flew above her, her electric blue mane flowing, Dash's wingblades shining off of her,"Think you're fast kid? You've got nothing on me."

"M-Mom?" Dash asked shaking her head as she looked to the pony. The with a shake of her mane, she flew up to her. "Yeah, I am pretty fast, fastest thing in the room!"

A white pegasus with a poofy yellow mane appeared in front of Pinkie,"Surprise!" She said firing Pinkie's party cannon at her.

"Woah!" Pinkie shouted, ducking under the cannon. She then giggled. "Oh, you got me good on this one!"

Equinox flew at Twilight as a mint green alicorn started to walk slowly towards her.

Twilight gulped,"Oh, buck me, not Mimic."


Applejack cracked her neck, "Ok, so who is mine?"


A sound of fumbling could be heard as Applejack was knocked into by an orange earth pony who looked similar to her,"Ow!" The pony said, rubbing her head.


Applejack rubbed her head, "Ow, watch where you are going you clumsy-ok this is weird." she noticed the apples on the other mare’s flank.

A pale unicorn sipped a cup of tea as she held Vorpal up to Rarity,"I must say, this is truly a fine sword."

"It is, isn't it? Care to give it back, I have grown quite attached to it as of late," Rarity asked

Discord looked down at Cosmos,"What about Fluttershy over here?" He kept his claw clenched over the yellow pegasus.

Cosmos looked up at him,"I'll take her myself."

Samus fired on Cosmos,"No, you won't!"

Fluttershy watched as Samus got ready to fight, "No Samus, she wants me. She can have me." she then looked to Discord and smiled, "I'll be fine." and with that, she walked calmly towards Cosmos. 

(I'm scared, I am so scared right now.)

her eyes narrowed as she walked to Cosmos

(But, they need me. I am more scared of failing them, of seeing them die. I could care less of what happens to me-

"Fluttershy, are you ok?"

"Yes Zephyr, I'm fine."

"But that lighting bird, she, and your legs-"

"I had to protect you."

-

But, I couldn't live with myself if I let anypony get hurt. That's why I went with Twilight, I knew somehow... there had to be something I could do to help)

With an indomitable will, Fluttershy stood in front of Cosmos, waiting, "Your move."





Rainbow Dash flew up above Firefly, "So, what makes you think you are gonna win this?"

        Firefly nodded, a sly grin forming on her face, “Because I have the experience. Half of the moves you  mastered... I invented.”

        “Shame,” Rainbow Dash smirked before taking off, “Then that means you are still a rookie.”

        The made Firefly growl as she flew after Dash, the lightning crackling on her wing blades as she flew. Her speed increased enough that she soon caught up with the speedster, allowing herself to use the blades to cut through the armor and into Dash’s side. Rainbow yelped in pain as the sharp metal cut into her, making her corkscrew out of control. 

        Before crashing to the ground, Rainbow Dash quickly snapped herself out of her drift and flew back up, giving an direct uppercut to Firefly’s chin. As the blow landed, Firefly flipped in a circle and delivered a right kick into Dash’s midsection. As the pegasus caught her breath, Firefly began to fly around Rainbow Dash, using the wingblade’s magic to create a powerful tornado. As the tornado began to suck Rainbow Dash up, the wing blades cutting into her body, she struggled to see through the rushing wind.

        Crossing her forelegs across her body for added protection, she spun in  a corkscrew to pull herself out of a of the tornado and through the top. Once out she flew back in and began to create an opposing force to the tornado, stopping the wind. 

Firefly, pushing through her own confusion, made two fly by acros Rainbow Dash, cutting into her back and stomach. Making a curve to strike Dash again, the cyan mar mare flew out of the way of the attack and flew away from Firefly. The pink pegasus decided to fly after Rainbow Dash in a vertical manner, trying to cut Dash in half. 





Rarity glared at the mare who was playing with her sword, “It is, isn't it? Care to give it back, I have grown quite attached to it as of late," Rarity asked. 

Sparkler swung the blade at Rarity's mane. With her eyes wide in shock at the mare’s speed, Rarity ducked under the blade. Before he could stand, Sparkler began to stab and thrust at Rarity, trying to impale her with the blade. By the time Rarity managed to get back to her hooves, the blad swiped horizontally at her, almost cutting her neck.

Sparkler looked at Rarity with a smile, looking down the length of the blade at the mare. Rarity made subtle moves to the left, looking at their opponent cautiously. Her eyes drifted to her saddlebags, and then back to Sparkler. Sighing, she began to make her horn glow and open the bag. Before she could pull what she wanted out of her bag, Sparkler jabbed her blade at Rarity throat only to get blinded by the light from hr horn.

When Sparkler cleared her vision, she found some garment from Saddle Arabia around her. When she lifted her hoof to pull it down, Rarity grabbed her hoof and judo threw Sparkled across the field. Then she smiled as she calmly picked up her garment, put it back into her bag, and then gave a flip of her hair.

Sparkler got up, and growled, splitting her blade into pieces and sent them flying towards Rarity.  With a gasp, Rarity pulled her armor off and used it as  makeshift shield before quickly putting it back on. Rarity again circled Sparkler, looking for another weapon to throw her off. Rarity ran at Sparkler, and was impaled.





	

Surprise appeared behind Pinkie and swatted at her with a mallet. Pinkie flew back from the hit with the mallet and brought out a rubber ball to through it. Surprise giggled and bounced it back, right into Pinkie’s croquet mallet.
 
The white pegasus then took to the sky and began to drop water bombs towards Pinkie. Moving quickly, she began to run away from the falling bombs, watching behind her, and then Pinkie put a small trampoline in front of her,. Jumping on it, she bounced above  Surprise and tied a rope around her eyes. Pulling a cowboy hat from her mane, she began to ride Suprise across the sky. 

Surprise giggled as she tossed and turned in the air, smiling like a little devil. Stopping her flight for a bit, she raised her wings to tickle Pinkie Pie in the thighs causing her to tumble off Surprise's back. Shaking her head, Pinkie Pie looked back up at the flyer and brought out a sling shot.

Giggling, Surprise flew over Pinkie’s slingshot and flew behind her. In a bit of acrobatics, Pinkie Pie jumped over Surprise and let her hit the slingshot while Pinkie hit Surprise with a pie. Bouncing away, Pinkie then waved her hoof with a big smile.

Surprise giggled and brought out the mallet again.



	


The mare suddenly tripped into Applejack,"Whoa! Sometimes, I think I have four left hooves!"

"Ah can see that!" Applejack said, looking confused at her opponent.

Aj got up and walked to her, before tumbling into a punch and a kick into Applejacks face and chest. Applejack shook her head from the hit, and got ready to fight.  Rearing her hoof back, she tried to punch the older pony, but AJ tripped and made her missed. As Applejack tripped over her own two hooves, the other similar color mare reached back to buck her, but instead hit her in the head.

As Applejack recovered, she shook her head, “This mare, is making me kick my own flank.”



	

Twilight stared down Mimic, her eyes narrowing at the yellow-green unicorn. Her analytical mind broke down her opponent piece by piece, knowing all too well the power of the unicorn before her and the magic that lied within.  Carefully she took a step to the left, trying to judge the striking speed of Mimic’s swordplay. 

When she made her step, Mimic struck out, striking the ground next to her. Twilight nodded, and turned her attention back to the mare before her, the violet eyes scanning for a weak point, “Can’t move to try an opening. Her speed in gathering mana is probably unmatched, and she probably knows more about magic than I had forgotten. So what do I have left?” she looked down ather hooves and began to dig a little trough in the ground.

Mimic watched this action with an air of curiosity and took a step. This made Twilight step back and dig another trough. With another step, Mimic stepped again and Twilight created another trough. She then used her wings to take off to the air, causing three pillars to shoot out of the ground. Effortlessly  Mimic jumped out of the way of the three. This made Twilight smile as she charged the pillars with lighting magic. The pillars the connecter their circuit together and zapped mimic.

Mimic screamed in pain as the lighting surged through her body, causing bits of her fur to crackle form the burn. Taking control of the living with her sword she used her blade as a lightning rod and slammed the blade into the ground, nullifying the lighting.

        With a flick of her  head,s he looked to Twilight and formed a bright ball of magical energy at the tip. Letting out a gasp, Twilight quickly moved out of th way before the sunbeam could hit her directly, wincing as the beam burnt her flank.  Staying in the air, she quickly began to dodge and weave out of the way from Mimic’s magic sun beams.

Taking a quick breather in the air, she quickly blocked the next beam of light coming from Mimic, although it did not stop the heat from coming through her barrier. Through her sweat, she narrowed her eyes at Mimic, looking beyond her and at Equinox. Closing her eyes, she teleported out of the beam’s path and to Mimic’s side. With a quick charge of her horn, she blasted Mimic with a gust of wind. With the unicorn distract, Twilight made a run for her blade igniting her horn to grab at it.

This was stopped by the sword being pulled out of her TK grasp and then slash across her shoulders, making Twilight slide and fall across the ground. Looking up from her prone position, she saw how Mimic withstood her wind attack. The light yellow unicorn was now covered in a body of stone. Lifting up the ground before her, Twilight blocked the attacks from Mimic breaking her stone armor and sending the debris right at her.

Moving away from her improvised shield, Twilight fired a series of ice spears at Mimic, making the unicorn place a heat shield around,her to melt the ice. Collapsing the fire shield into a fireball, Mimic fired it a Twilight and hit the alicorns’ chest, sending her back. Letting out a cough from the fireball and soot, she looked to Mimic and charged her horn with a fire aura. Mimic could only smirk as she generated an ice and water barrier. With a smile, Twilight changed her magic aura to a lighting arc and dropped a pillar of lightning down on Mimic.

With a groan of pain, Mimic brushed off the attack. Looking back at Twilight, she lowered her horn and began to chant,” Darkness beyond twilight.”

Twilight gasped, having read and heard of the dragon slave spell, but never had the time to study it. It was always just a curiosity to her, but now she was staring down the barrel of the spell she knew Mimic was close to finishing. As she watched, though, she heard the words from Mimic’s mouth and  feel the magic flow through the area. Closing her eyes, she began to copy the magic in her head, quickly saying the incantation to herself and catching up with Mimic, “Let all the fools who stand in our way, be destroyed by the power you and I possess.”

“DRAGON!”

“Slave”! Shouted Twilight in unison with Mimic, their magis striking each other in a blinding flash.



	

Fluttershy would then slowly started to feel herself getting weaker as Cosmos drew nearer, her mind slowly fading before Discord pulled her back,"No!" He said, before shooting confetti at Cosmos,"Fluttershy, think for a moment." He said pulling her up to his face,"Why would I keep you safe most of all?"

“Oh my goodness, I didn't think she would be that powerful," Fluttershy said.

Twilight teleported next to Fluttershy,"Besides, I don't think we'd let you go it alone, we're your friends, we do these things together!" She said.

“How can we actually get close to her," Will asked to herself.

Samus stood next to Will,"We need some sort of plan... where are those symbols?" She muttered.

“That’s what I want to know,” Will said. On the floor were the symbols of the Guardians, and one of a sword and a rose.


"The girls, but who is the sword and rose?" Will asked herself.


Discord looked down at Fluttershy,"Do you trust me?" He asked,"I do have a crazy idea."

"Terra Branford." Samus said,"A powerful mage. She may be able to help."

Discord smirked as he snapped his fingers, giving Pinkie Pie a mallet,"Hammer of Angry Pie."

Twilight gasped as Mimic struck her with Equinox, only to find a book in her magic blocking it,"Book of Emo Sparkle."

As Applejack got up, a candy cane rope appeared next to her,"Rope of Liarjack."

A licorice bow and lollipop arrows appeared on Rarity,"Bow of Greedity."

As Rainbow flew, a pair of shades appeared on her,"Shades of Traitor Dash."

"And," A bucket of taffy appeared in Fluttershy's hooves,"Bucket of Fluttercruel. Chaotic weapons for an orderly being."

"Now that's more like it!" Applejack said, taking the rope and running ahead of the other Applejack. Then she stretched it in front of her.

Rarity blocked the sword with her bow, and then splashed tea in front of Sparkler. Backing up a few feet, she started firing a few rounds of her bow. 

Pinkie Pie parried Surprises hammer like a sword.

"Shades? What good are shades gonna do, other then make me look awesome?" Dash asked in mid flight.

Rainbow's shades then suddenly became an airplane HUD.        

Will pressed down on the sword and rose, then she pressed the elements. Fluttershy looked to Discord, "Fly me up!"

The other Applejack tripped over the rope, causing her to twirl around the rope,"What in the...?"

Sparkler sputtered as the lollipops hit her,"Ew, sticky!"

Surprise gasped as she backed away. She smiled,locking her hammer with Pinkie's.

Twilight searched the book,"Hmm, fireball?" she used her horn to summon a large paddle ball with a little fire ball, and began to pelt Mimic.

Discord looked down at Fluttershy,"You got it!" He carried her up.

A white green haired unicorn mare appeared and used her sword to block an energy shot from Cosmos.



"Oh, now this is nice!" Rainbow Dash laughed, flying high and then turning around, now with two pineapples on her wings. Spinning in mid air, she fired the fruit at her opponent.

"Blame-" Applejack readed back

"Discord," Rarity said, firing another volley.

Pinkie Pie kept up her duel with Surprise, all the while humming a song.

Terra launched forward, followed by a tornado, fire, water, and earth

Surprise hummed along as she fought against her.

Cosmos gasped as she was pushed back, causing the shades to fade.

Discord laughed,"Twili, turn to page Banana!"

Twilight began to flip the pages,"Huh, How to make a Rainbow of Darkness in Six Easy Steps!"

"Ok, now this I got to see," Rainbow Dash said, flying down.

"What does it say Twilight?" Applejack asked.


"Okay, Fluttershy, you have to dance with a pair of maracas, Rarity, you have to put on a crap-ton of mud, Applejack you have to put on a ton of makeup, Rainbow, you have to flip your hair and whine about your insecurities, Pinkie, you have to read the phone book, and I have to make a fish face." Twilight finished.        

Fluttershy giggled, but the other five turned their heads to glare at Discord. After letting out a sigh they went into Pinkie's bag and pulled out the items necessary.

"I just love dipping in mud," Rarity grumbled, putting on the mud.

As Applejack put on makeup, she grumbled, "You know what's coming."

"Yep, the alternate way is in invisible ink!" Pinkie said, pulling out the Manehatten phonebook.

"But my mane doesn’t look right!" Dash flipped her hair and whined.

Cosmos growled as she summoned the Rainbow of Light above her,"No, you will not defeat me in such a ridiculous manner!"

Twilight made a fish face as their weapons glowed. Six lights appeared above them, and did the Can-Can, then the Macarena, and then the Harlem Shake before turning into a moonbow that went forward into Cosmos' rainbow.

"I will win. Harmony will always win!" Cosmos shouted, before her shield blocked the five guardians' combined attacks.

Samus' horn cannon began to split apart as a message on her visor said,"Zero Laser, activate." She fired the Zero Laser into Cosmos' shield.

Cosmos grunted aloud as her shield began to fade, then she heard Sunset's voice,"Can't keep it up, can you!?" Before a yellow beam struck her from behind.

"You are Order Incarnate." Trixie said, appearing with Sunset in a puff of smoke,"That pretty much means you are too OCD to keep that little beam going with all of these attacks!" She sent her spear at Cosmos.

Cosmos grunted before her Rainbow began to give way to the Rainbow of Darkness. The Rainbow of Darkness formed a grinning face with a large chin before striking her.

Twilight panted as they went to the ground, before seeing Cosmos' slowly fading form,"Heh," Cosmos began to laugh as she began to slowly disintegrate,"My champions, I'm so proud of you..." She said as she disappeared.

"Did she just say she was proud of us?" Dash asked.        

Discord chuckled,"You triumphed. Remember, she is Order, and was a goody good before going loco. You are her children after all." 

Twilight looked up,"So, if the Rainbow of Light turns you to stone, what happens if the Rainbow of Darkness hit the real Cosmos?"

Discord grinned as he put up a TV screen that showed a black stallion with a white mane and tail mixing a bowl and shouting out the window of an insane asylum,"We're having soup, today!"

Samus chuckled, before looking at her fading hoof,"Wow, guess my job really is done here."

Sunset panted as Applejack caught Trixie before she could topple over,"Trixie," Trixie said,"Trixie is pooped. When this is all over, can we grab a Zebrican yogurt? Trixie saw that on the way here, and she wants to try it..."

Sunset smiled at them,"Oh, Celestia is going to kill me." She muttered.

Pinkie Pie saw the fading Samus and frowned, "Do you really have to go?"

"She has to," Will said, stepping forward, "She is just a spirit. The real Samus, she is with my friends right now. This is what this has been all about, isn't it. The Heart of Worlds..."

"What is it, Will?" Rarity asked.

"It's helping the heart of Kandrakar connect with them, it's trying to act like a beacon to bring the others here. It wants my friends to help us," Will smiled widely.

("Ok, now I know you felt that!" Irma said, looking at her friends.

"Sammus, get Tecna and tell her," Taranee began, but Tecna's voice interrupted.

"I am already on it. I saw a blip on my radar that pointed to her," The purple haired fairy said.)

"It's not over yet, Trixie," Applejack said, smiling as she looked at the magician.

Rainbow Dash shook her head, "Just how did you two get here?"

Samus gave a salute to Pinkie,"Don't worry, you'll see me again soon, and I'll bring friends..." She said as she disappeared.

Trixie looked up at Applejack with weak eyes,"Maybe later then..."

Sunset smiled,"Well, I teleported to the Castle of the Two Sisters after interrogating Spike, and I helped Trixie win her battle. Then we went through the door and found these empty rooms, and we heard noises from beyond."

"Darn it Discord!" Twilight suddenly shouted.

"What?" Sunset asked in shock.

"I put a UV ray on the pages of the Book of Emo Sparkle." Twilight said, holding it up

"A loaf of bread
A container of milk
A stick of butter."

Discord laughed maniacally,"What, too obvious?"

"Only a little," Fluttershy, reassuringly patting Discord on the arm.

"And let me guess, you didn't tell the princess?" Dash asked.

Applejack sighed as she leaned back, "The princess is gonna have kittens."

"You didn't interrogate the poor dear too badly, did you?" Rarity asked.

Pinkie Pie hopped to Trixie, "You going to be all right?"

"HA! Trixie is invincible!" Trixie proclaimed, thrusting her hooves into the air, wincing a little.


Sunset muttered,"Yeah, I know Celestia Ll kill me for this, but I have to be here." She chuckled,"And I only slightly... threatened Spike's comic book collection."        

Pinkie giggled, while Rarity gasp and with a playful smile said, "You monster!"

"Do you need to lean on me Trixie?" Applejack asked.

Trixie wavered a little, "N-no, Trixie only needs a moment and she can get right into the final battle."

""I think the door is-" Will began, but the sound of two doors opening interrupted her. Turning she saw the massive doorway leading to a room of light, "There.        


Discord bowed,"And this is where I'll take my leave. Good luck, my little ponies." He laughed as he disappeared, taking the weapons of chaos with him.

Twilight shook her head,"I don't think so Trixie," She looked at the doors opening,"There we go, the last hurdle."

Trixie gasped, "What? The final battle and you are sidelining the Great and Powerful Trixie?"

Fluttershy reached into her bag and pulled out some medical supplies, "Sunset, make sure she has this. And keep her here."

"Trixie does not believe this, Trixie-is starting to taste pink," she then fell down.

Sunset grabbed Trixie and nodded,"I'll keep her safe. We'll be rooting for you!" She said with a smile.

Twilight looked at Dash,"Ready for this?" She put a hoof on the pegasus' shoulder,"Do you trust me?"

"Of course Twi," Dash said. "To the end of time if I need to." she smiled as she stepped through the doors.

Trixie then shouted, "You seven come back safe. I will never forgive you if you don't!" 

As they all gave a hooves up, they stepped into the doorway and through the light.

Once they had stepped into the door, they were embraced by a white room, one with a long hallway that led to an entrance hall. Before they stepped through, however, Rainbow Dash's eyes began to flare up, "Guys... get away from me."

""Why?" Applejack asked, and then noticed the look in her eyes, "Dash?"

"Guys, the hate plague... Sunset wasn't patient zero, she wasn't the harbinger... it was me. I was told to-AHHHHH!

All of the ponies stood back in shock... except for Twilight who put on a pair of sunglasses and a smug smirk as she neared Rainbow,"Yep, right on schedule. Let's see, your next words are, I don't wanna do this, why am I not trying to kill you with my words right now and trying to break you by using my most violent insults?"        

"I don't wanna do this, I am really sorry, Why am I not trying to kill you with my words right now and trying to break you by using my most violent insults?" Dash asked.        

Twilight grinned as Fluttershy sneezed behind her. She trotted over and booped Rainbow on the nose,"Rainbow, I just solved your little problem!" She turned to the others,"You all may have noticed that me and Rainbow have had our personalities a bit switched?"        

"I noticed!" Pinkie said, waving her hoof in the air.

"So did Ah. Why?" Applejack asked


Twilight walked around, her horn glowing as a screen appeared,"You see, I noticed something was wrong with Rainbow since the very beginning, but I couldn't exactly figure out what was wrong until I spoke to Luna back with the Flutter Ponies." She said, an image of ehr speaking with Luna came up,"She led me to Rainbow's dream, where I took a little trip down her memories, and saw this," She showed an image of Rainbow speaking with the cloaked mare,"Upon hearing the terms the Servant gave to Rainbow-I presume she did this a few hours before Sunset's arrival-I decided to do something about it." She looked at Dash,"I pointed Applejack in your direction to check on you, and distract you for a bit so I could get a spell ready, then I knocked you out and proceeded to operate. Unfortunately, The spell was really powerful, and if I made a wrong move, I could activate it early by accident. So, instead of just plain old removing it... I decided to dilute it! I put a piece of my own soul in you while taking a piece of your soul within me! I also did a little shadow spell to keep the idea that I did this a secret, just in case Servant ever tried to check on you. This spell would make it look like everything's the same. But I digress, I switched our souls around so the spell would have 2 ponies to work on, which would weaken its power. Also, I redirected it's target, so instead of the hate plague going in Rainbow, it went into Fluttershy, giving her a sneeze. As for the effect that will kill me? Notice the red horn and pained looks I gave every so often?" She smiled,"That was it. Instead of killing me, it gave me a slight headache. Any questions?"


The mares each raised a hoof, Applejack being the first, "And you sure you both are ok?"

"That red horn thing isn't permanent is it?" Rarity asked.

"Do you need some headache medicine?" Fluttershy asked.

"Do you know you are scary when you play chess?" Will asked.

"What is the population of Manehatten?" Pinkie asked.


"Yes, our souls will be back to normal shortly, I don't want to have all these  sports statistics and records I have to beat. The red horn will go away in a few seconds as will the headache. Yes, because I learned from the best; and 8.406 million." Twilight said in order of the questions asked.        

Dash shook her head, "Yeah and I don't want to be thinking and reading all of those boring books all of my life!"        

Twilight chuckled, before looking ahead of the hallway,"Now, I know who's really behind this," She said, walking forward,"All of the clues showed me the true mastermind of all this."        


"The real mastermind?" Applejack asked as they walked through the hallway.        

"You'll see." Twilight said,
