The Beginning of the End (Sonic: Adventures in Equestria)/Transcript

This is the transcript for The Beginning of the End (Sonic: Adventures in Equestria)

Team Sonic and the Mane Six head to Canterlot
[The film starts with Twilight running towards Canterlot with an anxious look on her face. Spike flies right behind her with Sonic running alongside him. They reached the gates where the rest of the Team Sonic and Mane Six are waiting for them]

Twilight Sparkle: [panting]

Fluttershy: Oh, good. We're all here.

Shadow: Why wouldn't we?

Twilight Sparkle: So everypony got an urgent summons to the castle with no explanation?

Pinkie Pie: Yup! I just love a good mysterious summons. What's it about? Do you think it's a surprise party? Hey! Why are we running?

Twilight Sparkle: Because something could be terribly wrong! Somepony turned bad? Another evil creature back for revenge?!

Applejack: Don't you think you're bein' a little paranoid?

Sonic: Yeah, Twilight. Calm down.

Twilight Sparkle: Why else would the Princesses send scrolls in such a hurry?

Rarity: Good point. They know better than to make us worry.

Tails: Either way, let's not jump to conclusions.

Pinkie Pie: You know, I like it when you run so fast, the walls get all blurry!

[The walls turn blurry and Pinkie's eyes turn dizzy]

Pinkie Pie: Whee!

Knuckles: Uh, you're being dizzy, Pinkie.

Rainbow Dash: Race ya!

[She zooms off, making Pinkie spin around like ball and bounce along the ground]

Sonic: Oh it's on! [activates his Sonic Boost ability]

[They rush into the castle and burst into the throne room]

Rarity: [panting]

Spike: [yelps]

[Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are sitting on their thrones, greeting Team Sonic and the Mane Six]

Princess Celestia: Princesses of Harmony, Team Sonic. Thank you so much for coming.

Twilight Sparkle: What's wrong?! What can we do?!

Princess Luna: That's just it. Nothing's wrong! Everything's perfect!

Silver: Wait, what?

Applejack: Did y'all call us down here just to tell us that?

Rarity: With all due respect, Celestia, you might want to save your urgent summons for matters that are a bit more... well, urgent!

Amy Rose: Yeah, you can't just make us come all the here for nothing!

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna: [giggling]

Princess Luna: Well, there is more to it.

Cream: There is? We don't understand.

Princess Luna: Equestria is currently enjoying its longest period of harmony in recent years.

Princess Celestia: And it's all thanks to you six. And Team Sonic, of course.

Spike: Who, us?

Shadow: Oh finally!

Rarity: Oh, pshaw. [giggles]

Rainbow Dash: It's about time you noticed!

Rouge: And I'm glad it wasn't about having to fight Eggman again.

Sonic: Me too.

Twilight Sparkle: Thank you!

Tails: But why did you tell us it was urgent? We thought it was an emergency.

Princess Luna: Because of your efforts, there's been less and less for us to do.

Princess Celestia: So, after much consideration, my sister and I have decided it is time for us... to retire!

Team Sonic/Mane Six: [gasp]

Blaze: WHAT?! Retire?!

[Then Discord appears, dressed as a new reporter]

Discord: Breaking news! The royal princesses retiring! I have so many questions! Who'll take over? Who will run Equestria? Will it be someone tall, dark, and handsome? Or will it be the Lord of Chaos?

[Discord's multiple eagle claws point at him. Princess Celestia points to the Mane Six as saying that she chooses them to be the new rulers of Equestria, much to the Team Sonic and the Mane Six's shock and Discord's surprise and disappointment]

Discord: Oh, fine. Go with the obvious choice.

Twilight Sparkle: [panicked noise]

Celestia and Luna are retiring?/Team Sonic offers their help/Twilight-ing?
[The Mane Six are shocked and anxious about Princess Celestia and Luna's news on retiring]

Twilight Sparkle: You're retiring?!

Spike: Princesses can retire?

Princess Luna: [chuckles] Of course we can. I for one am looking forward to a little R&R. Maybe a trip to Silver Shoals.

Sonic: But you can't retire.

Shadow: Equestria needs both it's princesses to do their respective jobs. Raising the sun and moon each day and night. And last time I checked, Twilight and her friends are incapable of that.

Twilight Sparkle: And you want us to take your place?!

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna: Mm-hmm!

Princess Luna: With the help of Team Sonic, of course!

[Team Sonic smile at her with confidence]

Blaze: But why would you choose the Mane Six to take your place? You know Twilight's not comfortable with these kind of things!

Princess Celestia: We can't think of anyponies more worthy. Over the years, we've watched you grow. You've faced task after task...

Princess Luna: ...challenge after challenge...

Discord: Countless adversities, yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it...

Princess Celestia: And you've always prevailed.

Twilight Sparkle: Thank you, but that doesn't mean that I'm— that we're ready to do what you do!

Knuckles: That's right. Surely, there's someone else more than worthy of taking your place than Twilight and her friends.

Princess Celestia: Oh, of course you are. I realize this is a lot to take in, but—

Rainbow Dash: Nope! Makes perfect sense. We're awesome! [gasps] Does this mean we get all your powers?! Ooh, ooh! I call dibs on showing up in everypony's dreams!

Rouge: Rainbow Dash, chill out. Let Celestia talk.

Twilight Sparkle: You can't be ready to step into their horseshoes just like that!

Applejack: Well, if the princesses think it's time to retire, we're not a bad choice. We always have Equestria's best interests at heart.

Tails: She's right, you know. There's no need to fret.

Sonic: We'll help you too.

Twilight Sparkle: That's a fair point... which should be taken into consideration when we have a round table discussion—

Rarity: Well, I'm in! Darlings, we'll all need a complete wardrobe update! And I would love to pick your brain about mane maintenance when you have a moment.

Fluttershy: As long as we all have each other, I'm sure we can do it!

Pinkie Pie: Yay! "Protectors of Equestria" on three! One... two...

[Team Sonic, the Mane 5 and Spike put their hands, hooves and claw together and look at Twilight who looks uncertain but took a deep breath and smiles]

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] If you're all on board, I guess I am, too.

[She puts her hoof on the center]

Team Sonic, Mane Six and Spike: Protectors of Equestria!

Twilight Sparkle: It'll be a bit of an adjustment, but I imagine the transfer of power will be a lengthy process, which will—

Princess Celestia: Actually, we just need a few days to put together a little ceremony.

[Discord looks dumbfounded by the princesses' plan while Twilight looks very stunned by this with a nervous grin]

Twilight Sparkle: [nervous laugh] A few days?!

Rest of Mane Six: [groans]

Sonic: You've gotta be kidding me!

Twilight Sparkle: But that's so soon! Shouldn't there be some sort of training program that lasts weeks? No, months? If not years?!

Princess Celestia: Everything you and your friends have gone through over the years has been a training program.

Twilight Sparkle: Okay, but there's gotta be a guide or a rulebook!

Discord: Yes, I have it right here. "How to Rule Equestria", by Nopony McPretendsmith.

[He shows the book of How to Rule Equestria to Twilight. Celestia and Luna look unamused by this antic. Luna pull out the Friendship Journal from behind her]

Princess Luna: The friendship journal you wrote yourselves is a better guide than any we could provide.

Twilight Sparkle: [hyperventilating]

Princess Celestia: We have the utmost confidence in you.

Princess Luna: And we hope you have the same in yourself.

Amy Rose: [looking at Twilight hyperventilating with concern] Deep breaths, Twilight. Deep breaths.

Twilight Sparkle: [still hyperventilating, hyperventilates into paper bag]

Discord: Oh, I'm absolutely certain she does.

[The scene changes to Twilight's castle throne room where Twilight is still anxious about the princessess' ceremony plans in a few days]

Twilight Sparkle: I am not confident about this at all!

Discord: Well, that's what I thought. I was being sarcastic before.

[Applejack put a hoof on Twilight to comfort her and glares at Discord for saying his statement on Twilight's anxiety]

Discord: What? This is all so predictable. Now's the part where you all tell little Sparkle here that everything is going to be fine, but she won't believe you. Ugh. I don't need to be here for this.

[He disappears]

Twilight Sparkle: It's just... I know I said yes, but then they said "in a few days", and there's still so much to figure out! It's all happening so fast! [hyperventilating into paper bag] I think we need some—

[Rarity gives Twilight a glass of water which she drinks quickly to calm herself down]

Twilight Sparkle: Okay! I'll feel much better—

Rarity: —once you make a plan?

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, wow. It's like you—

Spike: —knew you were going to react this way? We did.

Pinkie Pie: Classic "Twilight-ing".

Twilight Sparkle: "Twilight-ing"? You... You made me a verb?

Sonic: [on the verb] That actually sounds pretty funny. [chuckles]

Applejack: It's not a bad thing. We just know you have a... process.

Rainbow Dash: Stage one – you get big news and you're like "Nooooo!", but then you pace, and you chart, you worry...

Fluttershy: It's okay. You go ahead and "Twilight", and we'll be here for you.

Twilight Sparkle: You're all acting so calm! But this is a big deal! What do we do if something big happens and the princesses aren't there to help?!

Rainbow Dash: Um, if you think about it, they literally almost never help.

Shadow: Come to think of it, you're right, Rainbow. They never help us when we protect Equestria from villains many times.

Pinkie Pie: And we still always win! Like when Rabia and the Umbrum almost took back the Crystal Empire after Sombra freed them, or when Chrysalis pretended to be Cadance, or when Tirek came back and absorbed all the magic, or the other time Chrysalis tried to take over! [inhales] Am I missing anything?

Rarity: Pony of Shadows.

Knuckles: Nazo.

Spike: The Storm King.

Shadow: Mephiles.

Fluttershy: Discord when he was evil.

Silver: Lyric.

Applejack: Do Flim and Flam count?

Blaze: Neo Metal Sonic.

Amy Rose: The Dazzlings.

Tails: The Nightmare Forces when they were evil, Infinite when he was evil, Cosmos, Metal Sonic, Vignette Valencia when she was evil, Dr. Starline, Eggman Nega, the Lightning Bolt Society whey they were evil, the Metarex, Gloriosa Daisy when she was evil, Black Doom, Tempest when she was evil, Nominatus, T.W. Barker, the alternate Celestia and Luna when they were evil, Charlie and Belinda when they were evil.

Sonic: Twivine when she was evil, Nightmare Moon, Daybreaker, Imperator Ix when he was evil, Princess Eris, Goldstone, Sombra when he was evil, Rough and Tumble, Snivley, Juniper Montage when she was evil, those living apples, Grimer, Princess Dark Matter, Mimic, Wallflower Bush whe she was evil, the Deadly Six and Dr. Eggman on THOUSANDS of occations.

Cream: That's a lot of enemies we've beaten to prevent the domination of Equestria.

Silver: Yeah, we're really good at that.

Rainbow Dash: See? We've almost always done things without the princesses' help! Which makes sense now, because it was all just training for you to take over!

Spike: And it worked! I mean, if you think about it, there hasn't been a single villain that we couldn't defeat.

Twilight Sparkle: Phew!

Sonic: What can possibly go wrong?

Chrysalis, Tirek, the Storm King, Cosmos, Rabia, Nazo, Mephiles, Dark Oak, Black Doom, and Lyric are summoned to Grogar's lair
[The scene changes to Queen Chrysalis in a wooded area of the woods]

Queen Chrysalis: One day, you'll see! I will defeat Twilight Sparkle and her friends! [cackles] And they will pay for stealing my kingdom!

[She craves a evil changeling's face into a log and was about to crave another one when black smoke teleports her out of the area. In Tarturus, Tirek is counting his days of imprisonment on a wall]

Nazo: I don't like it here, it stinks!

Lyric: How do you think I feel, I've been here ever since that meddling hedgehog and his friends foiled my plans!

The Storm King: Haven't we all?

Black Doom: At least I tried to takeover TWO dimensions at once! And I'm just trying to look for the dark side of things.

Nazo: Yeah, well some of us don't exactly feel like listening to it, and yet you STILL lost!

Lord Tirek: Would you all be quiet! Please.

Nazo/Lyric/Storm King/Black Doom: SHUT UP!

Lord Tirek: [Groans]

[Then black smoke teleport the five villains (and Black Doom's minions, Lyric's robots and the Storm King's storm creatures) out of Tarturus. Meanwhile, in space, Cosmos was looking feeling pretty bored]

Cosmos: Those fools, thinking they can simply banish malice! I will get my vengeance Discord! And then you'll pay!

[Black smoke teleports her away, Dark Oak was on his airship with his fellow Metarex]

Dark Oak: Once we destroy Sonic and his friends, we will finally rule the galaxy!

Black Narcissus: We better, any more loses and we'll be considered jokes.

Yellow Zelkova: Yeah, we lost twice to those fools already, and last time we took heavy loses!

Red Pine: Indeed, those fools will regret the day they ever messed with the Metarex!

Pale Bayleaf: Indeed, but how are we gonna get back at them...

[The Metarex think for a moment before black smoke teleports all of them away, elsewhere, the Scepter of Darkness cracked until it broke, releasing Mephiles the Dark from within it]

Mephiles: Finally, I'm free! Now I'll be able to have my revenge against Team Sonic! [laughs evilly as he gets teleported away by black smoke]

[Deep underground, a magic circle forms by a stick which draws a magic insignia in it. A black crystal and some smoke appears from the ground and green eyes with purple smoke and a red horn came into view]

Rabia: Guess who's back... [laughs evilly]

[In a brown cavern, Tirek, Nazo, the Storm King, the Storm Creatures, Black Doom, the Black Arms, Lyric and his robots appear. They look to see Queen Chrysalis, Dark Oak, the Metarex, Cosmos and Mephiles]

Nazo: Where are we?

Lyric: How should I know? [saw Chrysalis, Dark Oak, the Metarex, Cosmos, and Mephiles] Dark Oak? Mephiles? Chrysalis? Cosmos?

Queen Chrysalis: Lord Tirek! Lyric! Nazo! The Storm King! Black Doom!

Lord Tirek: A changeling? [to Nazo, Black Doom, the Storm King, and Lyric] See? She get it.

Queen Chrysalis: Chrysalis, queen of the changelings! Or at least I will be, when I'm restored to my rightful place! Why did you summon me? What do you want?!

Nazo: Take it easy, we didn't bring you! I thought you freed us from Tartarus!

Mephiles: And I thought you guys were the ones who brought me here.

Queen Chrysalis: Tartarus? Whoever pulled you from there must have been somepony very powerful indeed.

Black Doom: This is weird.

Rabia: [laughs]

[The villains hear evil cackle and they turn to see black smoke on a ledge and it clears away to reveal Rabia and the Umbrum, much to their shock/surprise]

Queen Chrysalis: King Sombra! You have returned?

Rabia: No, not Sombra, thanks to those fools, Sombra is now flesh and blood like them!

Cosmos: ...Oh, you're Rabia, right?

Rabia: Correct.

Dark Oak: How are you even here, you were sent back to your home dimension!

Lyric: More importantly, why did you bring us here?

Grogar: He didn't.

[The villains turn to see a blue ram with a red collar that has yellow studs trot into the cave. Rabia teleports down and the ram put his front hoofs onto a table with a crystal ball on it]

Grogar: It was I. You may call me... Grogar.

Queen Chrysalis/Lord Tirek/The Storm King/Cosmos: [gasps]

Queen Chrysalis: The Grogar?

Lord Tirek: I thought that you were a legend!

Rabia: I've heard of you.

Nazo: [confused] Who?

[The villains approaches Grogar]

Grogar: I assure you, I am very real. And you have all been brought here as part of my plan to rid Equestria of Twilight Sparkle, Sonic the Hedgehog, and their friends once and for all. [laughs]

[The screen fades to black then reveals Grogar's lair from outside before cutting to inside it]

Lyric: Look here Goat, I've existed for a thousand years, but the name 'Grofar'? It just doesn't ring any bells, especially not back in my home dimension.

Grogar: Grogar! I have been away too long if my name no longer strikes fear into the heart of one so tiny. Perhaps a demonstration of power is in order?

[He touches his bell necklace and a sphere of magic appears on his hoof. Grogar blows it to Tirek who eats it and then grows into his second form from which he'd obtained from the magic of unicorns. He kiss his biceps]

Lord Tirek: [kisses] Grogar is ancient and extremely powerful.

Nazo: We can see that. But who's Grogar and how do you know about him?

Lord Tirek: The land that would become Equestria was a mere collection of farms and pastures until he declared himself emperor of all he saw. I remember hearing tales of his tyranny when I was young. The Storm King: I have also heard of the first Emperor of Equestria. The "Father of Monsters"

Black Doom: How did you get involved in this miserable and got the title "Father of Monsters" anyway?

Grogar: I gave life to the foulest of creatures and allowed them to run wild, taking what they wanted and destroying the rest. My reign was a glorious, fear-soaked epoch of darkness in Equestria.

Queen Chrysalis: Ha! Until Gusty the Great rose up and banished you.

Grogar: That fool believed taking my bell would defeat me! But she only weakened me temporarily.

The Storm King: Um, Tirek is really old – [to Tirek] no offense, you look great – [to Grogar] but if he knew about you when he was young, we have super different ideas about what "temporarily" means.

Grogar: Silence! I've spent millennia gathering power, biding my time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to seize control of Equestria! And watching all of you. I've seen each of your humiliating defeats at the hooves of six puny ponies, a meddling hedgehog and his other idiot friends. And do you know why they've always bested you?

Queen Chrysalis: Because they cheat!

Lord Tirek: Because they are annoyingly lucky.

Nazo: Because they hate everything evil!

Mephiles: How about all of the above!

Grogar: It is because they work together. Where one is weak, another is strong, and thus unified, they are a formidable force! But we shall use their own strategy to defeat them.

Queen Chrysalis: What are you suggesting?

Grogar: I suggest nothing. I demand that you join me, and together, Equestria will be ours!

Dark Oak: Ah, I see, not gonna lie, this isn't the first time villains have joined forces to take down the heroes, right Chrysalis!

Queen Chrysalis: Oh yeah, kinda had to dedicate the rest of my life to forgetting that since the aftermath of that COST ME MY KINGDOM!

Dark Oak: How was I suppose to know Thorax would turn your hive against you?

Rabia: Hmm, I don't do "ours". I only do mine and the Umbrum's.

[He teleports to the table in front of Grogar]

Rabia: I will take back the Crystal Empire on my own, and I will destroy any pony who gets in my way!

Grogar: Such confidence. Go! Try to take back your kingdom. I shall send you there myself. If you prevail, you may keep it. But when you fail, you will submit to me!

Rabia: And if I refuse this deal?

Grogar: Then I shall return you to the darkness from which you were summoned.

King Sombra: Fine! But this is a waste of time, as I will crush those who defy me. I will defeat all who get in my way! I'm—

[Grogar uses his magic to teleport Sombra from his lair, annoyed during mid-sentence]

Mephiles: Yeesh, he's more obnoxious than the last time I saw him.

Grogar: I advise the rest of you to prepare to work together!

[As Grogar left, Tirek and Chrysalis raise an eyebrow at each other]

Nazo: Hmm, working together sounds an awful lot like making friends... thankfully, you eight are in luck, because thanks to me studying our enemies after my ressurection, I know all about that!

[Back at the School of Friendship, Starlight knocked on Twilight's principal office door, Trixie and Sunset were with her]

Starlight Glimmer: Twi! You in here? With the school closed for the summer, I didn't think anypony would be here—

[She opened the door to see Twilight looking at lots of checklists which are scattered all over the room]

Twilight Sparkle: So much to do, not enough time! No! I already did that! Wait, no, I didn't! Uggggh, not enough time!

Spike: [hushed] Help! She's spiraling! We're at the "my plan needs a plan" stage of a total Twilight meltdown!

Sonic: Can you help us here, you three?

Sunset Shimmer: [hushed] Oh, got it.

[They trot over to Twilight with confidence]

Starlight Glimmer: Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: Did I write down "eliminate redundant lists" on my School of Friendship to-do list or my personal to-do list?

Trixie Lulamoon: Twilight!

Twilight Sparkle: Gah! Starlight, Trixie and Sunset! Oh, good, you're here! I need to talk to you three.

Starlight Glimmer: Okay...

Twilight Sparkle: Hang on, I had "talk to Starlight, Sunset and Trixie" written down on one of these. Just let me find it so I can cross it off! [worried noises]

Starlight Glimmer: Wow, you are "Twilight-ing" hard.

Twilight Sparkle: You say "Twilight-ing", too? Well excuuuuse me! This is the first time me and my friends have ever been asked to run a whole kingdom!

Starlight Glimmer: Uh, you're right, you're right. [chuckles] So, what did you want to talk to me about?

Twilight Sparkle: Ah, here it is! I wrote it down. [reading non-stop] Starlight, Trixie, Sunset, you three have blossomed into three of the strongest, smartest, most caring ponies I know, and I can't think of anypony better to leave in charge of my castle and the School of Friendship! So what do you think?

Sunset Shimmer: What?! You want us to take care of the castle and run the school?!

Twilight Sparkle: Yes?

Starlight Glimmer: Uh... we can't! We're not ready! Remember what happened the last time you left me in charge?!

Sonic: Technically, that was Discord's fault.

Sunset Shimmer: Still, what if we don't do the right things?! [hyperventilates] What if—?!

Twilight Sparkle: Girls, get a hold of yourself! You've risen to every challenge you've ever faced. You can do anything you put your mind to. You've got this.

Starlight Glimmer: Hah! And so do you. See what I did there? You just said everything you need to hear.

Sonic: [getting what Starlight's getting at] Yes, you told Starlight and the other two that they can do things when they're anxious. And we told you that you can do things when you're anxious.

Twilight Sparkle: [sarcastic laugh] Nice try. But running a school and running a country are two very different things. Now, if you don't mind I have seven thousand, four hundred, and thirty-two things to take care of before we become the new rulers of Equestria! [hyperventilates, hyperventilating into paper bag]

Spike: It was a valiant effort.

Starlight Glimmer: We?

Twilight Sparkle: Come on, you three are part of the Princesses of Harmony too!

[Starlight facehoofs at this predicament]

Trixie Lulamoon: Don't worry, she'll come around, Trixie knows it.

Rabia retakes the Crystal Empire/Getting News that the Umbrum's Back/Getting the Elements of Harmony
[The scene changes to the Umbrum approaching the Crystal Empire. The Crystal Ponies run in terror from the smoke. A Crystal filly trips over a black crystal. Rabia appears and grins evilly at her, making her scared. Her parents run over to help her and glare at Rabia who uses his hypnosis gaze to put them under his control. A spear hits the ground next to him and he turns to see royal guards charging at him from both directions. Annoyed by their resistance, Rabia uses his magic to make a giant black crystal to lift him out of the guards' grasp and blast them back. Rabia then creates a black mind-control helmet and put it on one of the guards, putting him under a powerful trance. Once he got the guards under his control, Rabia move towards the palace with the guards, making a crystal slope to the window. Shining Armor and the guards run into the throne room where Princess Cadance is writing a letter to the Mane Six about Rabia's return and for help]

Shining Armor: The guard says the Umbrum's breached the castle!

Princess Cadance: Hurry, girls! We need you!

[She then rolls the letter into a scroll and sends it to Twilight]

Princess Cadance: Do you have Flurry Heart?

Shining Armor: I thought you had her.

Shining Armor and Princess Cadance: [gasp]

[They rush to the nursery and when they open the door, they saw that Rabia had captured Flurry Heart]

Flurry Heart: Mama!

Princess Cadance: [gasps] You won't get away with this!

Rabia: Oh, but I already have.

Flurry Heart: [angry noises]

Rabia: [laughs]

[Rabia put the Crystal Heart on his crystal spikes which begins to corrupt it]

Rabia: With the Crystal Heart now in my possession, there is nothing to stop me from ruling the Crystal Empire!

[Shining Armor, Princess Candace and Flurry Heart are in chains and muzzles as the guards move them to the throne]

Rabia: Kneel before the Umbrum!

[They kneel before Rabia who sits down on the throne with evil glee]

Rabia: [sighs] Long live the king.

[The screen turns to black with Rabia's glowing green eyes staring in it. The scene changes to the Mane Five watching Twilight pace around the throne room when Starlight, Trixie, Sunset, and Team Sonic enter it]

Twilight Sparkle: Thanks for coming so quickly—

[Discord appears, knocking everyone over]

Mane Six/Team Sonic/Starlight/Trixie/Sunset: [gasping]

Discord: Sure thing. But if you six are gonna be rulers of Equestria, you may want to work on your penmanship. This looks like it says, "Cadance sent an emergency message. Rabia's back, and he's taking over the Crystal Empire."

Fluttershy: That's exactly what it says!

Amy Rose: But... But how is that possible?! I thought we sent him back to his home dimension!

Twilight Sparkle: I have no idea! But he's back, and it's up to us to save the Empire and my family!

Cream: Shouldn't we tell Celestia and Luna?

Discord: Ooh, good point! One of us should probably loop in the real rulers of Equestria.

Rainbow Dash: No. If we're going to run Equestria, we'll need to handle things like this on our own.

Knuckles: I mean, they almost never help us anyway, so I guess we'II just have to do it.

Discord: Oh, girls! Could this mean that you finally have the confidence to ascend to the throne like the princesses believe you can?

Pinkie Pie: Maybe? Unless you'd consider taking care of Rabia for us?

[Everyone look pleading at Discord]

Discord: Oh, no-no-no-no! You're absolutely right! You need to learn how to handle these things on your own. Ta-ta!

[He gives the Mane Six graduation hats, trophies and a giant check before making his exit by dimensional curtain, much to everyone's surprise]

Blaze: How does he do that?

Cream: Chaotic magic, Blaze, and very chaotic at that.

Applejack: Handlin' things on our own is all well and good, but last time we defeated Rabia with the Crystal Heart, and even then, it was Sombra who place the Heart back its' place in the end.

Spike: What if he has it already? How are we gonna stop him?

Silver: I'm not sure, Spike.

[Twilight thinks about this then look at the map which gives her an idea]

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] With the Elements of Harmony! With those, we can defeat anypony! Even Rabia!

Tails: That's a great idea, Twilight.

[Discord pull back the dimensional curtain, having a shower]

Discord: Ah, no-no-no. You didn't need the Elements the last time you defeated Rabia. And I'm not sure that using them still counts as "handling things on your own".

Twilight Sparkle: My family is in danger. We're not taking any chances.

Rainbow Dash: She's got a point.

Sonic: Yeah Discord, just leave them alon.

Discord: Ugh, fine.

[He close the dimensional curtain]

Pinkie Pie: What's his problem?

Shadow: Your guess is as good as mine.

Twilight Sparkle: Starlight, Trixie, Sunset, can you three stay here and-

Starlight Glimmer: [cutting off Twilight] -take care of the school? We'vegot you covered.

Applejack: It's not just that, if something happens to us, you three could be our last hope.

Sunset Shimmer: Ah, got it.

Trixie Lulamoon: Okay then, good luck!

[Later, Team Sonic and the Mane Six arrived at the Tree of Harmony and Twilight uses her magic to get the Elements from it and they turn into the necklaces and crown that the Mane Six used many times before, they set off to the rescue]

Heading to the Crystal Empire/Rabia's Defeat?/The Tree and Elements of Harmony Destroyed
[At the throne room, Rabia eat some grapes while amused at Flurry's attempts to break the crystal cage]

Rabia: It's cute that you think that will do anything.

Princess Cadance: It might not, but they will!

[She points to The Mane Six and Team Sonic who are arriving at the scene]

Pinkie Pie: Cavalry's here! [grunts]

Sonic: Hey Smokey! Did you miss us?

Rabia: Ah, The Princesses of Harmony and Team Sonic, good to see you again.

Knuckles: Good or not, you're not ruling the Crystal Empire!

[They charge into battle]

Rabia: [chuckles] How can I be surprised when I'm waiting to show all of you your greatest fear?

[He uses his fear magic on the Mane Six and Team Sonic, caughting them. Twilight tried to resist but eventually got effected by dark magic. In her mind, Twilight watches in horror as her friends and family got put under Rabia's control and mind-control helmets]

Twilight Sparkle: Oh...

[Celestia and Luna appears, both enslaved by the Umbrum]

Princess Celestia: Oh, Twilight. How disappointing.

Princess Luna: Equestria was in your care, and you let it be destroyed!

[They turn into Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon in front of Twilight who looks horrified and succumbed to her deepest fears and under the Umbrum's influence]

Rabia: You should all surrender! Nothing can defeat your own fears!

[But then, the Element of Magic starts to light up and free Twilight from Rabia's influence. The other Elements of Harmony free the others from Rabia's influence as well]

Twilight Sparkle: We didn't need to defeat them. We just needed to face them long enough to distract you!

[Rabia turns to see Spike using his fire breath to melt the crystal cage which free Cadance. She flew up, get the Crystal Heart free from the spikes and out the window]

Rabia: Nooooo!

[He tried to get the Heart back but Flurry stops him from doing so with her magic]

Shining Armor: [mockingly] It's cute that you think that'll do anything.

Sonic: Nice one, Shining Armor. [laughs]

[Cadance flies over to the pillar, put the heart back in it and reactivates it. The Heart starts to pulsing it's magic and spread it throughout the empire, freeing the crystal ponies and guards from Rabia's control]

Rabia: [growls] You may have won the battle, but I shall win the war!

Sonic: Too bad you won't be, Twilight, set the Elements to disintergrate!

Shadow: Enjoy being ashes, Rabia!

[Twilight and her friends channel the Elements and creates a rainbow which hits Rabia, seemingly vaporizing him to a little pile of dust]

Spike: Yeah! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

[Twilight and her friends float back to the ground]

Rainbow Dash: We totally just wiped the castle with that guy!

Knuckles: Yeah, you did pretty good there!

[Spike and Flurry hug Twilight. Cadance fly back in the throne room to help fight Rabia but looks from Applejack and Rarity told her that it has already been done which calms her down]

Shining Armor: Thanks, Twily.

[He and Cadance hug Twilight]

Pinkie Pie: That was fun!

Applejack: And easy.

Sonic: Best boss beating ever!

Rarity: As magical battles go, that was a cakewalk.

Pinkie Pie: Mmm... Cakewalk...

[She got two cakes on her two hooves and dancewalk with them]

Rest of Mane Six: [giggle]

Amy Rose: That's very funny, Pinkie.

Rouge: How are you feeling now, Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: Well, we did handle this pretty well. On our own.

Spike: Does this mean...?

Twilight Sparkle: I still don't feel like I'm one hundred percent ready, but will I ever?

Applejack: Knowing you? Nope.

Twilight Sparkle: I have you guys, and we have the Elements. And together, we've never failed. We'll be okay.

Mane Five/Team Sonic/Spike: [assorted cheering]

[Twilight smiles in the group hug. Later, they return the Elements to the Tree of Harmony]

Twilight Sparkle: Once again, Equestria is safe.

Blaze: You said it, Twilight.

Sonic: We'II be ready for the next danger Equestria will have.

Tails: I hope so...

Fluttershy: What should we do to celebrate?

Pinkie Pie: I vote for a cakewalk!

[Tails looks worried about something]

Amy Rose: What's wrong, Tails?

Tails: Well, it's just that, how do you think Rabia and the Umbrum came back after they were banished back to their home dimension.

Knuckles: I don't know, but as long as they're gone, they're no longer a threat.

Tails: Yeah... [sighs] Something's not right...

[As the group walk out, black crystals appear and black smoke emerges with Rabia's eyes and horn, showing that he's still alive. The ground then starts to shake, much to Team Sonic and the Mane Six's confusion and surprise]

Sonic: What the?!

Applejack: What's goin' on?

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know!

Shadow: [seeing the black crystals and smoke behind him in shock] Guys, look!

[Everyone turn to see the black crystals bursting out of the wall and destroy the Tree of Harmony. The Elements fall to the ground and shatter to pieces]

Mane Six: [gasps]

Team Sonic: [horrified] NO!!!!

[Rabia appears in front of them and cackles in sadistic triumph]

Rabia: [laughs evilly]

Sonic: [shocked] You've got to be kidding me...!?

Rabia's Real Plan/The Mane Six fall under the Umbrum's Control
[Rabia is shown laughing at his victory while Team Sonic and the Mane Six are horrified by what he's done]

Rainbow Dash: What. Just. Happened?!

Knuckles: The Elements! They've been destroyed!

Cream: Oh no!

Fluttershy: The Tree of Harmony can't really be gone, can it?!

Twilight Sparkle: It can't be!

Rabia: But it is! You thought you defeated me, but you led me right to the source of your power. Now that it's destroyed, nothing can stop me!

[Twilight pick up the fragments of the element of harmony and tries to put them back together but fails to do so]

Twilight Sparkle: He's right... With the Elements gone, I don't know how we can defeat him!

Sonic: [groans in anger] You're going to pay for this! [spindashes towards the Umbrum]

Rainbow Dash: Guess we'll just have to beat him the old-fashioned way!

[Twilight's friends and the rest of Team Sonic charge into battle, leaving a disheartened Twilight feebly trying to piece the elements together. Rabia fires his magic, sending the heroes back before trapping Team Sonic in a cage of crystals. Twilight tries to blast them out with her magic but it has no affect, even when her friends tried to help, black smoke claws eventually dragged the Mane Six back to Rabia]

Rabia: Ha! You're no match for me! I will finally rule the Crystal Empire! [gasps] Wait... With you out of the way, I will rule all of Equestria!

Twilight Sparkle: No!

Sonic: Don't count on it buddy!

Rabia: Oh, but I will. And I think I know exactly where I'll start.

Applejack: Don't you dare say it!

Rabia: Your sweet, little hometown.

Rarity: You leave Ponyville alone!

Pinkie Pie: We'll never let you get away with this!

Rabia: So what? Without your Elements, you're already so much easier to control.

[Rabia quickly uses his hypnosis gaze on the Mane Six, though they tried their best to resist, they ultimately succubed to his control, their eyes glowing green and their coats dulling]

Sonic: [shocked] Girls, NO!

Rabia: [laughs] I suppose I might as well control you pests as well!

[Black smoke claws appear and reach out to Team Sonic, making them cower in fear until the claws vanishes, much to their surprise]

Rabia: But there's no point. The conquering of your world is already your greatest fear!

Team Sonic: NO!

[Rabia turns into black smoke and flies out of the entrance while the possessed Mane Six slowly walk out]

Sonic: Girls, don't listen to him, you have to fight his control!

Twilight Sparkle: [monotone] Must... obey... Rabia...

[The Mane Six fly out]

Cream: What do we do?!

Sonic: I don't know! The Tree of Harmony grew the Elements! It kept the Everfree Forest under control! And now that it's gone, the Umbrum will take over Equestria!

Knuckles: Not if we stop them!

Tails: Yeah, I'd say we go back to the Castle of Friendship and get the Chaos Emeralds, I bet Super Sonic could handle anything!

Sonic: Yeah, you're right, but we to figure out a way out of here...

Amy Rose: Well we better hurry, I can't bear to think about the Mane Six under the spell of that monster!

Shadow: Or Trixie...

Silver: Or Spike, or Starlight...

Cream: Or Sunset... or anypony forced to do that monster's bidding!

Blaze: Yeah, we can't stay here. We may not have a plan, and it might be hard getting to the Emeralds. But we can't sit here and let the Umbrum make slaves of everyone in Equestria!

Rouge: But how do we plan on escaping exactly?

Sonic: Hmm... Hey Knuckles, do you think you can-

Knuckles: [grins] I thought you'd never ask!

[Knuckles starts digging his way out of the cave, with Team Sonic following pursuit, eventually making their way out of the cave and into Ponyville]

Returning to Ponyville/Siege on Canterlot
Sonic: Alright, we're out! Great job Knux!

Knuckles: What can I say, that escape plan was tops!

Cream: [gasps] Guys, look!

Team Sonic: [gasps]

[The ponies are being Sombrafied. Cream sees Apple Bloom walking past under Sombra's control]

Cream: Apple Bloom! Can you hear me?!

[Apple Bloom didn't respond back and walks on under a trance]

Cream: We've gotta free her, anything!

Sonic: We would, but we don't have magic.

Shadow: And even if we did, it wouldn't be strong enough to beat the Umbrums'.

Tails: Yeah, we better get to the-

[Tails' jaw drops in horror when he sees Spike, Trixie, Sunset and Starlight under Rabia's control while Sonic enters the castle]

Knuckles: Oh, great, he got to them too?

Tails: Spike! Spike, where are you going? Sunset? Trixie?! Starlight?!? W-What is going on here?!

Starlight Glimmer: [monotone] We must lay siege to Canterlot.

Tails: No! Snap out of it, you four! You're stronger than this!

[Amy was trying to get Sweetie Belle free from the Umbrum's control but to no avail]

Amy Rose: Sweetie Belle, stop! I can't get her to stop! I've tried everything!

Tails: None of us can free them Amy. We can't reach them!

[Knuckles had run over to Sugarcube Corner to try and snap the Cakes out of Rabia's trance but like Amy, to no avail]

Knuckles: Darn it! And the worst part is he made them bake a black licorice fruitcake that says "Congratulations to Our Favorite Supreme Emperor King Rabia" in green frosting!

Amy Rose: [covers her mouth in disgust] That's the ugliest cake I've ever seen! [sobbing]

Silver: This is bad! Like, really bad!

Blaze: Rabia's gonna pay for this!

[Sonic rushes out of the castle with the Emeralds]

Sonic: Okay, I got all the Emeralds, hopefully now, we'll have a fighting chance, unless anything else goes wrong!

[Vines creeping over from the Everfree Forest towards Ponyville]

Team Sonic: [gasps]

Rouge: The Plundervines?!

Knuckles: I thought we saw the last of those!

Shadow: The Tree of Harmony was the only thing keeping them and the Everfree Forest in check, remember!

[The vines crept closer to Ponyville as the mobian citizens run and panic]

Cream: [gasps]

Amy Rose: This is not good!

Tails: Now what do we do Sonic?

Sonic: Even if we figure out how to defeat Rabia and bring everyone back to Ponyville, if we don't stop the forest, there won't be a Ponyville to come back to!

Vector: In that case, you're gonna need some help!

Sonic: Huh?

[Vector shows up, along with Espio, Charmy, Heavy, Bomb, D-Fekt, Bark, Bean, Fang, Mighty, Ray, Sticks, Cosmo, the Babylon Rouges, Tikal, Chaos, Chip, Marine, Shade, Omega, Gamma, Emerl, Gmerl, Julie-Su, Honey, Tangle, Whisper, Johnny, Porker, Zooey, Soar, Cliff, Q-N-C, Sonia, Manic, Sally, Rotor, Antonie, Bunnie, Nicole, Dulcy, Uncle Chuck, Vanilla, Chocola, Yacker, FriendBot, Gadget, Infinite, Shortfuse, Imperator Ix, the Lightning Bolt Society, Charlie, Belinda, and several other allies of Team Sonic]

Team Sonic: Whoa!

Espio: Don't worry, this time you won't have to do this alone.

Charmy: We're with you guys!

Sonic: [sighs] Great, thanks everyone.

D-Fekt: No problem, Rabia's gonna pay for what he's done!

[Team Sonic and their allies look at the vines]

Tails: I think it's gonna take a lot more than just us.

Amy Rose: Yeah, we can't do this all by ourselves.

Knuckles: I've got this! [looks at the mobians] Mobian residents of Ponyville! I know you've all perfected the art of cowering in fear and running with your arms flailing. But today, I'm going to ask more of you...

Background Mobian #1: Do you need us to go into hiding?

Knuckles: No, my bovine amigo. Whether you're a hero, [points to Sonic, Tails and Amy] a villain, [points to Infinite, the Babylon Rouges, Fang, Bean and Bark] or re-occuring background character, [looks at several background mobians celebrate and give high-fives] today we ask you to stand and fight! Not for your family, not for your home, but because look at all these ponies that Rabia brainwashed. Those were our ponies! Our partners! Our buddies! Our acquaintances!

Background Mobian #2: Not our acquaintances!

Knuckles: It's time to tell our enemies that they may take our spirits, but they can never take our friends!

[Everyone cheers]

Sonic: [determined] Let's go!

[Everyone charged towards the Plundervines screaming. The scene changes to the mind-controlled ponies heading for Canterlot. Rabia appears and lead the army to the drawbridge. The royal guards saw them and was about to raise the alarm when Rabia blast their horns with his magic, making them cower in fear]

Rabia: You! Break it down!

[Big Mac charges at the gate and successfully breaks it down. Rabia enters the throne room and find that it's empty, much to his delight]

Rabia: They've fled! Celestia and Luna are too cowardly to even stand against me! Equestria belongs to the Umbrum! [laughs maniacally]

Fight for Ponyville/Heading to Canterlot to confront Rabia/Getting Help from Discord
[The scene changes to the Team Sonic and their friends and allies trying to cut the vines. Amy smashes the vines with her hammer, Sonic and Shadow spindash into them, Knuckles cuts them with an axe and Cream and Tails free some animals from the vines]

Cream: Come on, everyone! [shrieks]

[The vines quickly surrounded them and begins to cover them when Rouge uses her spinkick to cut through them, freeing Cream and the animals. The animals surrey off to safety and Cream runs up to the others who are beginning to get tired out from cutting the vines many times]

Silver: We've been at this for hours, but they're just growing back too fast!

Blaze: [burning some vines with her fire] We have to keep trying!

[They run towards the vines but they knock them backwards. Then as the vines get closer to Team Sonic, they got blasted by magic. They look up to see Princess Celestia and Luna in the sky with determined looks on their faces and use their magic to blast the vines]

Sonic: Celestia, Luna!

Knuckles: I've never been happier to see you two in my whole life!

[Then Star Swirl the Bearded appeared next to Team Sonic]

Star Swirl: Nopony is meant to handle this on their own!

Tails: Star Swirl! The Tree of Harmony, it's—!

Star Swirl: I know. I alerted the princesses as soon as I could. I felt it when it happened. Like part of my essence just ceased to be.

Cream: I know what you mean. I'm sorry.

Star Swirl: Don't be. I've more than enough magic in me to keep the Everfree Forest under control.

Shadow: Well, that's good. Can you really do it?

Star Swirl: The Pillars and I planted the Tree of Harmony. Who do you think kept the Forest under control before it did?

[He walks over to Celestia and Luna]

Star Swirl: It will take time, but with the princesses' help, I can keep it at bay!

[He uses his magic to levitate himself up into the air and blast the vines. Team Sonic watch in awe]

Rouge: Aw, yeah! Go get 'em, beardy!

[Celestia, Luna and Star Swirl blasted the vines with their magic]

Sonic: Rabia's back, and he's taken control of all of every pony, Twilight and the others included!

Princess Luna: We've left Canterlot defenseless!

Princess Celestia: Sonic, you and your team must go! Defend Equestria, and we shall contain the forest.

Blaze: Will you be OK?

Princess Celestia: Of course we will.

Silver: Then, we'II save Equestria from further Sombrarification.

Knuckles: At least now we're back to just one problem!

[Team Sonic run towards Canterlot]

Team Sonic: [gasp]

[The brainwashed Ponyville and Canterlot citizens stand at the gate and the towers]

Cream: [gulps] Looks like the Umbrum's already possessed Canterlot's citizens.

Blaze: Is Rabia really gonna force us to fight our way through our friends?!

Rouge: That's not fair!

Tails: Not if I can help it!

[he flew up to the top of the gate but stop in shock when the Wonderbolts fly up and block his way, also under Sombra's control]

Tails: [gasps]

[Then magic blast at him. Tails look down to see the unicorns firing magic at him. He dodges their blasts and flew back to his friends]

Tails: Actually, I'd rather not get fried. Sonic?

Sonic: I don't know! I'm wasn't prepared to fight against the citizens of Equestria either!

Applejack: Well, we'd better figure out somethin' quick, because none of them seem to have a problem with it!

[The drawbridge lowers down to the ground and Sombrafied ponies charges at the heroes]

Silver: [ties a ribbon around Fancy Pants' eyes] Forgive me for this!

Amy Rose: Quick, use this!

[Amy jumps up and drops a giant net on the ponies, Knuckles and Blaze quickly tie up both ends to crystals]

Knuckles: We'll let you out as soon as possible!

[Tails, Cream, Shadow, Rouge and Silver are being chased by the royal guards and split up]

Shadow: Hmm, will I go here? Or here? Or here, or there?!

Cream: [pants] Huh?

[Shadow gives Cream a grin which signals her and the others to go in his direction. Cream, Tails, Rouge and Silver nods and flew closer to Shadow then they flew upwards and the guards smack into each other and fall, though Silver uses his psychokinesis put them down gently]

Tails: Gotcha!

[Then the Wonderbolts zoom past the five mobians and dive bomb towards them, making fly down to the others who are now surrounded by the army]

Cream: I don't know how long we can hold them off!

Knuckles: And holding them off isn't what we need anyhow! We need to get inside!

Amy Rose: But we can't just leave them here, all possessed and Sombra-fied!

Tails: What do we do, Sonic?!

Sonic: I don't know, but we can't stay here! Shadow?

Shadow: I'm on it! Chaos Control!

[Shadow warps the entire group behind the sombra-fied ponies]

Silver: Alright, now let's go!

[Team Sonic runs towards the castle, but then they noticed that the doors were closing]

Blaze: Guys, the doors!

Rouge: Oh great, we'll never make it in time!

Sonic: No sweat guys, if we want to get in before the doors close, we'll do a Light Speed Dash. [To Tails] Tails!

Tails: On it!

[Tails deploys some Rings that mark a trail towards Canterlot Castle. Sonic grabs hold of Tails and Amy, who grab onto Knuckles and Cream, who grab onto Shadow and Rouge, who grab onto Silver and Blaze]

Sonic: Gotta Light Speed, Team!

[Sonic Light Speed Dashes through the trail of Rings and makes it into Canterlot Castle just before the doors shut completely]

Team Sonic vs. the Corrupted Mane Six, Starlight, Sunset and Trixie/Team Sonic return their friends to normal/Discord's Defeat
[In Canterlot Castle]

Sonic: I'm sorry we couldn't help our friends, but I'm sure they'll be alright.

Amy Rose: If you say so.

Rouge: At least we're inside.

Shadow: Yeah! All we have to do now is defeat Rabia!

Sonic: Yeah, it's just a matter of how...

[Pickle juice fall on Sonic's nose. He and the others look up to see Discord hovering while eating a pickle. When he saw the heroes, he was surprised]

Discord: [chewing] Oh, my. No Elements? No princesses? Seems like you're in a bit of a pickle! Or are you in... [snaps] ...more of a jam? [chewing] Mmm!

Knuckles: Discord! What are you doing here?!

Discord: [swallows] Well, I was going to hang these up all over the castle to celebrate the Mane Six's coronation, but apparently it's a bit premature.

[He roll up the banner and put it in his ear]

Sonic: I'm so glad to see you! We could really use some all-powerful Lord of Chaos help right now!

Discord: Moi? Oh, I couldn't possibly.

[Discord walks off with Team Sonic behind him until they see the throne room door ahead, guarded by the guards who spotted them]

Shadow: Oh come on!

[The guards charge towards them]

Sonic: Discord, please! Rabia's taken control of our friends, including Fluttershy!

Discord: [gasps] Okay, fine. [snaps] Just to be clear, I would really rooting for the Mane Six to do this on their own and parlay that confidence boost into being the best protectors of Equestria you can be, but they can't really be protectors if they're under mind control.

Shadow: A little less talking and a little more helping?!

[Discord snap his eagle claw and a giant spider web appears, trapping two Pegasi guards. A door appears on the floor and opens, making a guard fall down and three lumps of ice cream fell on another one, trapping him]

Fluttershy: [gasps] Thank you, Discord!

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know what we'd do without you!

[Discord felt disappointed in his friends but said nothing as he went with them. Rabia is creating black crystals in the throne room to make it his own when Team Sonic and Discord barge in]

Blaze: Okay, you King Sombra knockoff! Time to give up the crown!

Silver: Yes! Release those you've enslaved this instant!

Rabia: [laughs] Here to fight the good fight with nothing but your wits? Admirable, but foolish! [grunts]

[He blast his magic towards Team Sonic but Discord slithers in front of them, snap his eagle claw and the magic turn into pudding, much to his surprise and anger]

King Sombra: [grunts]

[He fires his magic many times at Discord but he kept turning it into various things which is too easy]

Discord: Well, I guess it's on me to be the MVP today. I was betting on you, and I do hate being wrong. Although if you think about it, I am your friend, so maybe you win because friendship wins? Although Cream should get most of the credit for that. She's my favorite.

Sonic: You'll never beat us while we've got Discord on our side, so put all the ponies of Equestria back to the way they were, then GET LOST|!

Rabia: [smriks] I've got a better idea.

???

[Team Sonic were on the floor, they were still in their super forms, but they were pretty tired out from fighting their corrupted friends]

Super Sonic: [breathes heavily] Twilight, please, I know you and your friends can hear us!

Super Amy: Look at yourselves!

Burning Blaze: Look at what you're doing!

Super Shadow: You're trying to kill us!

Starlight Glimmer: [entranced] Do you really think that'll work?

Sunset Shimmer: [entranced] That kind words and look at yourself comments will free us?

Trixie Lulamoon: [entranced] Honestly, you're even bigger fools than we were!

Rainbow Dash: [entranced] The old us were weak!

Rarity: [entranced] Too stuck up in that whole friendship thing to understand...

Pinkie Pie: [entranced] That they could've had so much more!

Fluttershy: [entranced] Once you nine are out of the way, the Umbrum's darkness will rule Equestria!

Applejack: [entranced] And then nothing will stand in Master Rabia's way!

Twilight Sparkle: [entranced] Yeah, so stay down or we'll-

Super Sonic: [struggles to his feet] If we lose here, if you lose to Rabia's control and succumb to the darkness within your hearts...then Equestria is doomed.

[The words finally began to reach the corrupted princesses]

Super Shadow: We're not giving up, we never give up and neither do you!

[The nine ponies' eyes glow and they scream in pain as they struggle to regain control of their bodies, they eventually do, purging themselves of the Umbrum's evil]

Rabia: WHAT!?!

Team Sonic: [happily] Girls!

[The Mane Six, Starlight, Sunset and Trixie run over to hug Team Sonic with tears in their eyes, with Team Sonic returning to their normal forms]

Twilight Sparkle: [thankful] Thank you...

Sonic: [relieved] It's okay, we'll never let this happen to you again, I promise...

Rabia: What- How did they break out of my control?!

Twilight Sparkle: You should've realized that the friendship we made with Team Sonic and with ourselves is stronger than darkness.

Starlight Glimmer: And it'll take a lot more than being possessed to tear us apart!

Sunset Shimmer: You got that right!

Rabia: [enraged] Very well... If you want to die alongside those nine morons, THEN SO BE IT!!!

[Rabia fires his magic at the group who brace for impact but Discord steps in front of them and took the blast himself which sends him flying through the air and landed on the ground]

Discord: [slow motion yell]

Fluttershy: [gasps] Discord!

Cream: No!

Team Sonic/Mane Six/Starlight/Trixie/Sunset: [gasp]

Finding the magic within/Rabia's Defeat/Everything returns to normal/Grogor warns the villains
Rabia: [laughs] Not even the Lord of Chaos can stand against me! I am truly the most powerful creature in Equestria!

[He uses his magic to make a throne out of a big black crystal. The Mane Six, Starlight, Trixie, Sunset and Team Sonic crowded around Discord, worried that he might be dead, Sonic looks at Rabia with a furious look on his face]

[Rabia laughs at his victory, when Sonic enters his Dark Form and blasts him through the throne]

Dark Sonic: [enraged] HOW DARE YOU!!! [proceeds to beat Rabia to a pulp, knocking him unconsious]

[Sonic warps back to the group before exiting his dark form]

Rainbow Dash: Discord!

Twilight Sparkle: We need you!

Cream: [tearing up] Don't die on us, Mr. Discord!

Fluttershy: [tearing up] Oh, please wake up, please wake up... [Discord regain consciousness, much to her delight and relief] [gasps] Discord!

Tails: You're okay! For a second there, we thought you were dead!

Twilight Sparkle: I'm so glad you're okay! We can't beat him without you!

Rabia: [regains consciousness] You... couldn't... beat me with him, either! [laughs while getting up]

Discord: [coughs] [weakly] It would appear that you're on your own. [ragged breath] [he snap his fingers but nothing appears] I have nothing left to give.

Silver: What do we do now?

Applejack: That's it, then?

Rouge: We're doomed?

Rabia: Of course you are. I can't believe it's taken you this long to realize it. Now, how shall I eliminate all this clutter in my throne room?

Mane Six: [growl]

Knuckles: We're not giving up just yet, Rabia!

Blaze: We will not rest until you are dealt with once and for all!

Discord: [weakly] Listen to me. You don't need me. You don't need the princesses, and you certainly don't need the Elements. [coughs] Fluttershy, you will always be kind. Applejack, you will always be honest. Rarity, you'll always be generous. [ragged breath] And Rainbow Dash will be loyal as can be. Pinkie will always bring laughter wherever she goes. And Twilight... [coughs] you are and always will be the embodiment of magic. You lost sight of what's in front of you. You're here, together, willing to give everything you've got for Equestria. Nothing and nopony can ever take that away from you, because that's who you are.

Rabia: [laughs] It's going to take more than a sentimental speech to save you. [his horn starts to glow as he prepares to finish them all off]

Twilight Sparkle: Discord's right. We've proven time and time again that the real magic is all of us working together! With my friends by my side, I'm not afraid of you! I'm not afraid of what you can do or how much power you have!

Sonic: And I'm not afraid of you either, you monster!

Rabia: You should be.

[He fires his magic. Twilight creates a magical barrier and although Sombra's magic breaks it and push her back, she remains standing]

Starlight Glimmer: You may knock us down, but we're gonna get back up again!

[Rabia fires his magic again but Twilight still deflects it]

Sunset Shimmer: And again!

[Rabia, surprised by Twilight's resilience, fires again but Twilight still fights back with her magic]

Twilight Sparkle: And again! As long as we're together, we will never stop trying to defeat you!

[Rabia angrily unleashes his full dark magic while Twilight did the same and they clash]

Twilight Sparkle: [straining]

[She harness her magic inside as Fluttershy put her hoof on hers]

Fluttershy: For our friends!

Applejack and Rarity: For our families!

Mane Six except Twilight Sparkle: For our home!

Twilight Sparkle: For Equestria!

[Team Sonic and the ponies rise up into the air and push Rabia's magic back, making him unable to break their magic barrier, all the while, the ponies' manes and tails began flowing while Team Sonic re-entered their Super Forms]

Ranoa: [grunts] No! This can't be possible! Your magic can't defeat mine! I destroyed the source of your power!

Twilight Sparkle: You can't destroy our friendship, Rabia!

Super Amy: You can never take it away from us!

Rainbow Dash: And we keep telling that to the bad guys.

Applejack: But y'all just don't seem to remember that.

Super Sonic: Yeah, as long as we're together, there's nothing the eighteen of us can't achieve together, victory is ours for the taking, after all!

Team Sonic/Mane Six/Starlight/Sunset/Trixie: Friendship is magic!

[They float with glowing eyes. Rabia tries firing his magic at them one last time of desperation but it failed. The eighteen heroes expanded their friendship magic and it engulfs Rabia and the Umbrum, obliterating them into ashes]

Rabia: Noooooooooo!

[The crystal throne shatters, returning Celestia and Luna's throne back to normal. The light spreads across Canterlot, restoring it to normal. Big Mac, Granny Smith and the CMCs are walking Sombrafied when the light freed them as well as Spike, Moondancer, Lightning Dust, Cozy Glow, Gilda, and the other Sombrafied ponies. The light also clears all the black crystals and vines out of Ponyville and restore it to normal]

Sally Acorn: Alright, they did it, we won!

Big: Horray!

Mighty: I knew they'd do it, great job everyone.

Ray: Yay!

Omega: Mission sucessful.

Emerl: Phew, glad that nightmare's over.

[the mobian citizens cheer for the heroes' victory. Later, Celestia and Luna enter the throne room and find Team Sonic, the Mane Six, Starlight, Sunset and Trixie nursing Discord back to health]

Fluttershy: Aw, do you want more juice?

Discord: [weakly] Only if it's not too much trouble. And it's red. And it has one of those little umbrellas. And two cherries. No, no, actually, make it three. And maybe, uh... some donuts?

Knuckles: Same old Discord.

Blaze: Yeah, gotta hand it to him [chuckles]

Princess Celestia: I see you've made yourselves at home.

Twilight Sparkle: Celestia! Luna! I know what you're going to say.

Rainbow Dash: We should have called on you as soon as we knew how dangerous it was.

Rarity: A good leader knows when to ask for help, and we didn't.

Fluttershy: And because of us, not only did nearly all of Equestria get possessed, us included, but the Tree of Harmony was destroyed.

Starlight Glimmer: Yeah, I may not have directly seen the Tree's destruction, but Equestria deserves someponies much better than all nine Princesses of Harmony as its leaders.

Princess Celestia: You're right.

Mane Six: [sighs]

Princess Celestia: About one thing. A good leader knows when to ask for help, but a great leader has the courage to admit when they've made a mistake and the strength to make it right. Today, you've proven to me beyond any doubt that you will be great leaders.

Applejack: Will be?

Tails: [confused] What do you mean by that, your highness?

Princess Celestia: Luna and I have decided it may have been a bit unfair to thrust this upon the Princesses of Harmony without giving them the time they need to prepare.

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] Thank goodness! I really wasn't ready!

Fluttershy: Technically, none of us were.

Discord: Not ready?! So, the girls aren't taking over?! This was all for nothing?! I pretended to be very hurt and gave one of the most convincing speeches of my—?!

Fluttershy/Twilight Sparkle/Cream: Pretended?!

Sonic: [mutters gibberish] What?!

Shadow: You were pretending to be hurt the entire time?!

Discord: Of course! You don't think some "Umbrum creature" could actually hurt the Lord of Chaos, do you? Anyway, as I was saying, I pretended to be very hurt to convince you all that you didn't need anything but yourselves to be incredible leaders I know you can be. And now it's not happening?!

Princess Celestia: It will. But when they're ready.

Discord: How can they not be ready?! What a waste of a perfectly wonderful speech! Ugh! Honestly, I don't know why I even bother.

[He walk over to a stained glass window, open it and close it after he climb out]

Knuckles: Ugh! So he could have ended the whole Umbrum thing whenever he wanted?

Cream: But he didn't, because he cares.

Rainbow Dash: That's Discord for ya.

Applejack: He sure has a weird way of bein' supportive.

Pinkie Pie: Super odd dude.

[Discord appears as a stain glass picture in the window]

Discord: I heard that!

[He vanishes from the window]

Mane Six/Team Sonic/Celestia/Luna: [laughing]

Princess Luna: Also, truth be told Team Sonic, Celestia and I had fun today fighting side-by-side with Star Swirl and your other friends for our home. It's been years since we've gotten to do what you guys do. You all make it look so easy.

Sonic: Well, what can I say, life's a adventure!

Rainbow Dash: Plus, we are kind of an awesome team.

Fluttershy: Every adventure is heart-pounding.

Cream: Yet so rewarding at the same time.

Rarity: [giggles] Life certainly hasn't been dull since we met.

Applejack: Nowhere else I'd rather be.

Silver: That's what we like to hear.

Tails: And today certainly was an adventure!

Sunset Shimmer: We can do anything if we work together!

Starlight Glimmer: Yeah!

Twilight Sparkle: We are pretty incredible together. And we would do anything for Equestria. I guess I know, when the time comes, as long as we're together, we probably—

Rest of Mane Six: [clearing throats]

Twilight Sparkle: We definitely got this.

Rest of Mane Six: Awww!

[They all went into a group hug and smiled. Back at Grogar's lair, Chrysalis, Tirek, the Storm King, Cosmos, Nazo, Mephiles, Dark Oak, Black Doom, and Lyric were holding hands]

Lyric: Why are we doing this again?

Nazo: Because from what I've heard, saying nice things about each other is a perfect icebreakers activity.

Dark Oak: I don't think holding hands or hooves will make us hate each other any less.

Nazo: Whatever, anyways, I'll say something nice about centaurs. Tirek, you say something nice about changelings. And Chrysalis, you say something nice about ponies!

Queen Chrysalis: Never!

The Storm King: This is gonna be harder than I thought...

[Then Grogar came into view from the shadows]

Grogar: Let us hope you nine and your minions will be enough for my plans.

[the villains immediately stop holding hooves]

Queen Chrysalis: And what of Rabia?

Lord Tirek: Did he succeed?

Grogar: Hah!

[He uses his crystal ball to show them Rabia's defeat by the Mane Six, Starlight, Sunset, Trixie and Team Sonic]

Grogar: I'd say he gambled and lost!

Mephiles: In other words, he's dead, gone, reduced to atoms.

Black Doom: Good riddance, maybe he should've thought twice before refusing to join forces with us!

Cosmos: Yeah, though on the bright side, he did do SOME good for us.

Lyric: What do you mean, Cosmos?

Cosmos: Well, let's just say that Rabia destroyed The Tree of Harmony and the Elements.

Nazo: Really?

Queen Chrysalis: Oh, did he now?

Cosmos: Yes. So now we won't have to worry about them defeating us when we try to takeover Equestria.

Lyric: Finally, that meddling tree and those elements are gone from Equestria. Now we can succeed in our plans without them inferring.

[Tirek, Chrysalis and Nazo are also delighted too since the tree foiled their plans before]

Grogar: Well, that's inteesting, but Rabia's failure can also serve as a warning to those who doubt continuing with my plans. Unless any of you have doubts.

Lord Tirek: Uh, not I.

Black Doom: Of course not.

Queen Chrysalis: Nope!

Dark Oak: Never in a billion years!

The Storm King: I'm good!

Nazo: Not at all.

Cosmos: I'm in!

Lyric: Me too!

Mephiles: And so am I!

Grogar: Then we shall join forces and work together to bring Equestria to its knees! [laughs]

Tirek/Black Doom/Chrysalis/Dark Oak/Storm King/Nazo/Cosmos/Lyric/Mephiles: [nervous laughter]

[The screen fades to black, leaving Grogar's eyes glowing in the darkness]
