Myself and these Pillars of
Equestria were gathered together

And they went off with Starswirl
to face the Pony of Shadows
50

ever heard from again?

so I guess we can forgive
a little messiness --
183
00:09:17,756 --> 00:09:21,026
I went through the journal
again and it's amazing!

Twilight, darling, we
understand you're excited,

What exactly is so amazing?
187
00:09:29,001 --> 00:09:30,836
Only how Starswirl
and the other Pillars
188
00:09:30,836 --> 00:09:33,238
sent the Pony of
Shadows to limbo!
189
00:09:33,238 --> 00:09:34,674
They did what now?
190
00:09:38,277 --> 00:09:41,146
They used their magic to
open a portal between worlds,
191
00:09:41,146 --> 00:09:43,882
to limbo and pulled the
Pony of Shadows inside.
192

Darling, your diorama!

I made more.
195
00:09:50,289 --> 00:09:52,891
Starswirl thought the only way
to trap the Pony of Shadows
196
00:09:52,891 --> 00:09:55,160
in limbo was for the
Pillars to take him there.
197
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,297
So they got stuck too.
198
00:09:58,297 --> 00:10:01,133
The Pony of Shadows must
have been really awful
199
00:10:01,133 --> 00:10:03,369
for them to do that.
200
00:10:03,369 --> 00:10:06,305
I suppose being trapped for all
time with a super-duper bad guy
201
00:10:06,305 --> 00:10:09,108
in limbo might be OK if
you were doing the limbo,
202
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:10,643
but that's still pushing it.
203
00:10:10,643 --> 00:10:13,179
The thing is, I think
I can get them out.
204
00:10:14,413 --> 00:10:16,215

205
00:10:16,215 --> 00:10:19,818

legendary ponies of all time?

207
00:10:21,320 --> 00:10:25,691
Opening portals between worlds
didn't work out well for me.
208
00:10:25,691 --> 00:10:27,426
Are you sure it's safe?
209
00:10:27,426 --> 00:10:30,362
First of all, you opened
portals through time.
210
00:10:30,362 --> 00:10:32,231
And second of all,
Starswirl wrote the spell
211
00:10:32,231 --> 00:10:33,732
you used to do it.
212
00:10:33,732 --> 00:10:36,168
If he'd been here, he
could have stopped it.

Equestria would be
safer with him in it.

We have to save him.
215
00:10:40,205 --> 00:10:43,242
But you'd be savin'
all the Pillars, right?
216
00:10:43,242 --> 00:10:45,844

ages ago.

about limbo.

place or another.

be like they never left.

fly up here to move their hive.

00:18:05,550 --> 00:18:06,585
There!
359
00:18:11,189 --> 00:18:13,225
Now the other bayou creatures
can get to the water

feeling threatened.

have to help with this.

I can't believe you're actually
going through with it.

What do you mean?
374
00:18:58,570 --> 00:19:01,173
I'm all for pushing the
envelope, obviously,
375
00:19:01,173 --> 00:19:03,742

there for you, Twilight.

Well, nothing when
you say it like that.
379
00:19:13,585 --> 00:19:16,521
Unless "the most legendary
ponies of all time"
380

knew what they were doing and
we shouldn't mess with it.
381
00:19:19,891 --> 00:19:22,761
I'm sure Starswirl and the
Pillars did the best they could
382
00:19:22,761 --> 00:19:26,264
back then, but magic
has come a long way,
383
00:19:26,264 --> 00:19:28,867
mostly because of
the work they did.
384
00:19:28,867 --> 00:19:30,869
That's true. And you
did get your wings
385
00:19:30,869 --> 00:19:33,271
from finishing one of
Starswirl's spells.
386
00:19:33,271 --> 00:19:36,274
Exactly.
387
00:19:36,274 --> 00:19:39,778
But, then I messed with one and
nearly destroyed the universe,
388
00:19:39,778 --> 00:19:41,846
so...
389
00:19:41,846 --> 00:19:44,216
Starlight, Starswirl the
Bearded is the greatest wizard
390
00:19:44,216 --> 00:19:45,784
who ever lived.
391
00:19:45,784 --> 00:19:48,820

Equestria is worth the risk.

this shield for nothing!

Applejack: I hope you don't
think you're the only one

00:19:56,394 --> 00:20:00,465

this here shovel says otherwise.

the most attractive
of the artifacts.
