Cozy Glow: And NOW for your complete DESTRUCTION!
Won't that be FUN?
Chrysalis: Patience, Cozy.
Destruction is so... permanent.
We need to show the rest of Equestria
that we've broken their heroes first.
Besides, we should have fun with our guests.
No, we should hunt down Twilight Sparkle.
As long as she's out there, she's dangerous.
Is that big strong minotaur
THAT scared of one little pony? Relax!
It's not like her friends are going anywhere.
The fools brought the remains of my throne to Canterlot
to protect themselves.
[cackle]
Those shards block their magic.
Careful. Too close and the shards cancel even our powers.
But on THIS side of the cavern,
we're the most powerful beings in Equestria,
thanks to Grogar's Bell. Isn't that right... GROGAR?
What are you doing?
You saw what happened
when you tried to take Discord's chaos magic.
Yeah, but there's alicorn princess magic
in there now too!
I could be so much more powerful if I just could have.
What do you mean YOU could be?
Um hello, I'm the best one out of all of us, nobody sees me--
The best at what?
What are you talking about?
This is really bad.
We gotta find Twilight.
She's probably already figured out some way
to defeat those monsters.
Any idea HOW we get out of here to do that?
Too sticky.
There's no way anypony could get through this.
Discord: I'm so sorry.
It made so much sense in my head.
Twilight defeats her worst enemies
and is filled with confidence.
I truly did have the best intentions.
I swear I'll make it up to you.
That's gonna need to be a pretty epic make up.
STAY AWAY FROM THE BELL, YOU PEST!
NONE of us can use the alicorn's magic
until we figure out how to handle
that fool's ridiculous chaos magic.
Discord: I could always tell you how.
It would give you power over all reality.
But you'd have to ask nicely...
AND spare my friends.
No, Discord! This isn't the way to help!
[baby talk] Discord, could you please...?
Threats are more my speed. SPEAK!
He's lying. He won't tell us.
I certainly won't tell YOU
after the way you lied to ME last time we teamed up,
you musclebound cretin.
This "cretin" could destroy you
before you blink so choose your words carefully.
You're right. Cretin is too polite.
How about 'pathetic centaur who uses magic
to compensate for the fact that deep down he's afraid
he'll never be enough
to please dear old Dad, King Vorak?
[weaponfire]

Why are you out in the open? HIDE!
Where IS everypony?
The unicorns have been gathering
in Celestia's School of Magic ever since the attack.
That's where I was headed when I saw you!
What about the earth ponies and pegasi?
It's everypony for themselves.
That ain't right.
Well, YOU can all stand out here and debate.
I'm going where I'm safe.
Chrysalis was telling the truth.
They really HAVE turned ponies against each other.
Everypony's scared, that's all.
We just need to get to Ponyville
and find Twilight pronto.
She'll know how to set things right.
Please, stay calm. I KNOW it seems bad.
But there's NO need to panic!
GIVE US ONE GOOD REASON NOT TO!
[angry shouting]
Because Ponyville's own heroes of Equestria
are here to save us!
Where'd all these ponies come from?
Earth ponies been pourin' in looking for somewhere safe.
We don't have unicorn magic to protect us
or a city in the sky to hide in like those cowardly pegasi.
Cowardly?

They're blocking Cloudsdale!
Said they didn't want any "grounded" ponies

Listen up, buddy!
Don't! That's exactly what Chrysalis and the others want.

We know you're scared. We're here to help.
OH, YOU BETTER FIX THIS!
[shouts of agreement]
Twilight's probably as worried as everypony else
and tryin' to find somewhere safe.
That's why I was sure she'd be waitin' for us in Ponyville.
Where else could she be?
I know where Twilight is!
Oh. Thank Celestia you're all all right.
She's upstairs. It's not good.
[door opens abruptly]
You're here? I was so worried. Where are the princesses?
They put up a CRAZY fight so we could escape and find you!
Mission Accomplished!
Now LET'S SAVE EQUESTRIA! Woohoo, yeah!
They made a terrible mistake. You all did.
From the second I got away, I've been searching
every book, scroll and spell for a way to rescue you
and stop Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy.
But I haven't found anything. I've failed.
You'll come up with something.
We can't save Equestria without you!
You all escaped without my help.
You didn't need me then, so why would anypony need me now?
We know things look bad,
but we've been in tough spots before and we always-
Look around! Nothing we've ever done has mattered.
Sombra? Returned and destroyed the Tree of Harmony.
Chrysalis? Tirek? Cozy Glow?
Returned and more powerful than ever.
The School of Friendship? Shut down.
Everypony in Equestria is so blinded by fear,
they can't remember what friendship IS.
NOTHING we do makes any difference.
But, WE'RE still free and together!
And it's not like things could get any worse!
[screeching]
Haven't we learned NEVER to say that by now?
THE WINDIGOS!
Pfft! That's just a Hearth's Warming Eve Story.
Creatures made of wind that spread cold and misery
across the land to punish ponies?
Seems pretty real to me! Let the pegasi deal with this!
There's nothing we CAN do except hide!

You want the truth, Twilight? Bad things happen.
No matter what you do, there's NEVER gonna be a time
when everything's perfect.
But that don't mean you quit trying!
WHAT IF I MAKE THINGS WORSE?
Ever since Celestia told me I was taking over,
I've been gaining confidence.
Then I find out it's all a lie.
Equestria's been falling apart around us
and I didn't even notice!
What kind of princess does that make me? I'm scared.
I probably know more about being scared than anypony,
but thanks to all of you, I've learned I'm always LESS scared
when I'm with my friends.
If we're facing impossible odds,
we're facing them together!
It's what we always do, darling.
But we're on our own and we have no idea what to do!
That's true pretty much every time something terrible
is about to happen.
We don't have the Elements of Harmony anymore.
How can you all be so calm about this?
Because, even if you don't believe you can do this, we do.
We believe in you. In us.
The truth is, all our lives wouldn't be the same
if we hadn't met.
We're better off because of our friendship with you.
So, when you say you haven't made a difference,
that's just not true. You've made a big difference to us.
Thank you. Sometimes even the Princess of Friendship
needs a reminder that there's more to the
Magic of Friendship than rainbow lasers.
Although that part IS pretty cool.

We STILL need a plan.
THAT sounds like the pony I used to foal-sit for.
Count us in!
No. You need to stay here and protect Flurry Heart.
If we don't... if things don't work out,
she's Equestria's last hope.
OK. Three of our worst villains have taken over,
powered up by ancient magic.
Everypony in Equestria is so scared and divided
that the Windigos are circling and it's up to us to fix it all.
What are we gonna do, Twilight?
The same thing we do every time, Pinkie.
Try to save the world.
Every prisoner is safely in their cells.
Now we can hunt down the rest of the. Windigos?
I'm not hunting anypony d-d-down in THIS weather!
Can't we magically get rid of them and w-w-warm things up?
Chrysalis: I don't think we should.
This could work out quite well for me.
You mean us!
The harsh weather is the final blow
to break the ponies' spirits.
Once Equestria is a frozen wasteland,
we'll use our magic to destroy those windy beasts.
Ponies will be so grateful, they'll do whatever I want.
The Windigos are ancient magic.
It would be unwise to leave them unchecked.
Best we deal with them now.
We probably SHOULD deal with Twilight and her friends
before anything else.
I thought it was too cold for you to hunt anypony down.
We don't need to. They're RIGHT there!

You REALLY think if we all sing a couple songs,
everything will be fine?
It's not JUST singing that saved
the founders of Equestria.
It's what it represented.
...earth ponies, unicorns and pegasi becoming FRIENDS.
We learned at Twilight's School that friendship
is the most powerful magic there is.
Focusing on our differences keeps us divided.
Villains and creatures like the Windigos
use that division against us.
Yaks strong. Ponies strong.
But yaks and ponies stronger together!
Yaks must be LOYAL to pony friends!
I know helping other creatures
by being KIND and GENEROUS sounds lame.
But I've SEEN how powerful it can be!
Playing together, singing together,
even LAUGHING together.
THAT'S what real heroes looks like.
Were we really happy by ourselves
at the bottom of the ocean? Be honest!
It's the ponies that showed us a better way!
They've taught us how powerful love
and the MAGIC of friendship truly is.
We can't let them stand alone!
We're their friends. They need us.
Applejack: How 'bout that?
It's just like you said the day we opened that school.

the safer we'll be.

Twilight: ENOUGH!
Because of you, I almost lost my way.
But every creature here has reminded me
of the true power of friendship.
There will always be darkness in the world.
But there will also always be those who find the light.
The Pillars knew this.
That's why they created the Elements of Harmony.
The Elements showed me and my friends
how strong our friendship could be.
Together we worked to bring harmony to Equestria.
But there will always be more to do.
Which is why we teach others about the magic of friendship.
Others who will continue our mission after we are gone.
Now I truly understand. The elements were just symbols.
The real magic has always been right here.
And the more who understand how powerful friendship is,
the stronger we will all be.
