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

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

Prologue/A Successful Plan
[in Canterlot, a unicorn Baker is walking with supplies to the castle when he's called over by a green unicorn mare in the bushes]

Queen Chrysalis: [in disguise] Hey there, my unicorn friend. Have you heard?

Unicorn Baker: About the Princesses of Harmony's coronation? Who hasn't? I'm on my way there now. So much baking to do and—

Queen Chrysalis: No, no. [whispers] About the Earth ponies.

Unicorn Baker: I know their crops have been underperforming, but, uh...

Queen Chrysalis: That's not it. They're hoarding the food for themselves! I heard the Mayor of Appleloosa say that if unicorns and Pegasi want to eat, they can use their own hooves to dig.

Unicorn Baker: How awful!

Queen Chrysalis: We unicorns have to stick together, right?

[The unicorn baker nods and goes to the castle and ignores Mrs. Cake who waves, causing her to get confused, Chrysalis laughs in sinister delight, unknowingly to her, a certain enemy of Sonic was watching her]

Dr. Eggman: Earth ponies hoarding food? That doesn't sound right, even for me. [looks at Chrysalis' disguise] Maybe I should investigate...

[Back at Grogor's hideout]

Lord Tirek: Ah, Chrysalis. Another successful field trip, I presume?

Queen Chrysalis: Spreading distrust among the unicorns and Earth ponies is almost too easy. We could take down Twilight and her friends a hundred times, but as long as they have the "love" of Equestria behind them, they'd crawl back to defeat us. Not anymore.

Nazo: No friendship, no magic! It's so obvious when you think about it.

[Cosmos appears]

The Storm King: Ah, Cosmos, I suppose you bring good news.

Cosmos: Yes, I did my part freaking out the Pegasi.

Dark Oak: Excellent!

Lord Tirek: Indeed, and Grogar's long absence has given me time to prepare the next part of our plan. [blows]

[grinding]

Lord Tirek: Grogar's Bell. This artifact can steal any creature's magic. It holds that magic until it is released by this spell. Which means all the power inside is ours for the taking! [kissing]

Lyric: You're drooling on the Bell.

Queen Chrysalis: Let's try the spell before Grogar gets back.

Mephiles: Yeah, I'm sick of waiting for that old goat's master plan.

Lyric: Yes, well, here's how it's gonna go, first Nazo, Tirek, and Chrysalis use the bell, then the rest of us use it afterwards, got it.

Lord Tirek: Indeed, Nazo, Chrysalis, Take my hands.

[beat]

Lord Tirek: So we can all be part of the spell. Unless you'd prefer I take all the magic myself?

Nazo: Our pact stands. What we do, we do together.

Queen Chrysalis: Once we defeat the protectors of Equestria, we can claim this land and rule our kingdoms alone once more.

[With a spell from the book, they transfer the magic inside the Bell to themselves, making them extremely powerful, including turning Chrysalis into a more powerful changeling, Tirek into his full form, and Nazo into his Hyper Perfect Nazo state]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Haha! This is completely unreal!

[Nazo and the other villains laugh evilly while their minions watch in sinister delight. Nearby, Eggman was watching by a rock, completely horrified by what he had just seen]

Dr. Eggman: [scared] Oh my... [gets into his Eggmobile] Perhaps I better go... [flies out the hideout and looks toward Canterlot] Hope they don't mind me intruding on their little coronation plans! [flies off to Canterlot in a hurry]

What a Twist/Coronation Plans are Underway
[Grogor returns to the hideout with a gem in his magic]

Grogar: I have returned. The Mane Nine's coronation is today, and we are going to ruin it with this artifact. But to succeed, you must work together.

Queen Chrysalis: [turns her heads in a 360 while on the ceiling] Oh, way ahead of you, Grogar. [spits]

[Chrysalis traps Grogar in changeling goop, at that point, the other villains reveal themselves]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [holding the bell] Actually, we've been ahead of you for a while now!

Grogar: The Bell! You had it all this time?! Why didn't you tell me?!

Cosmos: We're villains. Duh.

[The nine blast at the bell and the bell sucks up Grogar's magic... which turns him back into Discord?]

Cosmos: [surprised] Darling?!

Lord Tirek: That was unexpected.

[Discord smiles nervously and tries to teleport out, but without his magic, all he could do was run]

Dark Oak: Wait. Discord was Grogar? Like, the whole time? Should we follow him?

Queen Chrysalis: Without magic, he's no threat. Besides, we have plans.

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [hands Lyric the Bewitching Bell] It's your turn to use this.

Lyric: Thank you, Nazo.

[The Storm King, Cosmos, Dark Oak, Mephiles, and Black Doom stood in front of Lyric]

Lyric: Get ready everyone, this Bewitching Bell will give us such strong, extraordinary power. And nothing will ever be the same again!

[Soon, Lyric and the other villains use the Bewitching Bell as a pale cyan aura surrounds them, followed by a storm of black crow feathers, surrounding them all. Two seconds later, the aura disappears, revealing each of the villains in their Disharmonious Emperor/Empress forms]

Disharmonious Emperor Lyric: I feel different... yet very powerful!

Disharmonious Emperor Storm King: Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about baby!

Disharmonious Empress Cosmos: I FEEL LIKE I COULD TRANSFORM THE COSMOS SO EVERYTHING IS MADE OF ICING!

Disharmonious Emperor Dark Oak: Perfect....

Disharmonious Emperor Mephiles: [looking at his appearance in amazement] Not really what I was going for, but I can work with this...

Disharmonious Emperor Black Doom: This.... Is incredible! Those pesky heroes don't stand a chance against us now!

[At Canterlot Castle, Team Sonic and the Jewel Pixie Animals were helping set things up for the coronation, Celestia and Luna were looking with pride and joy with Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry-Heart as the Mane Nine and Spike were on the throne discussing things]

Princess Celestia: Don't they look so adorably regal up there?

Princess Luna: Twilight and her friends, all grown up. Should we tell them that we've cleared out our royal suites so they and Spike can move in?

Princess Celestia: Oh, maybe wait until after the coronation.

Princess Cadance: Yeah, Twilight doesn't need anything else to worry about today.

Spike: So Twilight, you freakin' out yet?

Twilight Sparkle: About what?

Spike: Oh, I don't know. It's not every day the princesses that have ruled Equestria for hundreds of moons retire and pass all their responsibilities on to you and your friends.

Sonic: You know, he does kinda have a point.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, that. Actually, I'm feeling pretty good. We've all faced so much and come out okay. I know we're up to the challenge of keeping Equestria safe and happy. There's nothing we can't handle together. [levitates a box to Spike] Which reminds me...

Spike: [opens the box to see a medallion with Twilight's cutie mark on it] Royal advisor? What's that?

Twilight Sparkle: A new position I created for you. You've been at our side for every step of this journey. Knowing we had you to count on gave us the strength we needed to grow and succeed. We wouldn't be here without you.

Spike: Thanks, Twilight. You know I'll always be your right-hoof dragon.

Twilight Sparkle: I was hoping you'd say that. Because now that our crown's been fitted, we have some royal errands to run!

Shine: There's still time for us to prepare the coronation, so we better get working!

???

A Harmful Deceit/Plans in Motion
Sonic: It doesn't make sense, what is going on here?

Dr. Eggman: [as he enters] Honestly, if you ask me, I wouldn't know.

Sonic: Eggman?!

Twilight Sparkle: You dare show yourself here after everything you've done!

Dr. Eggman: [puts his hands up] Not to fight, I assure you...

Tails: Huh, what is it then?

Dr. Eggman: You see, we have a mutual problem, one so large that it will take all of us to overcome it.

Discord: [groans] My aching metatarsals!

[Everyone turns to see Discord bruised and covered in scratches and mud]

Discord: You know, you forget how convenient snap-travel is.

Spike: Wait. Did you just walk here?

Discord: Yes, actually. And I have a confession to make. You see, I might have made the teeeeeniest boo-boo. All very well-intentioned and noble on my part, of course, but—

Applejack: Get to the point, Discord.

Silver: Yeah, just get to it.

Sunburst: I mean, we haven't really got all day.

Discord: You remember that whole thing with Rabia, right?

[Team Sonic and the Jewel Pixie Animals nod]

Twilight Sparkle: How could we forget? My friends and I were victims of that mess...

Discord: Well, that was slightly my fault. And by "slightly", I mean... I brought him back.

[Everyone is dead silent and looks at him]

Sonic: [blinks and looks at him in shock with his eye twitching] You. Did. [suddenly enters his dark form] WHAT?!?

[The Princesses immediately activated their magic in defense while glaring angrily at Discord]

Knuckles: [angrily] SO THAT WHOLE MESS WAS YOUR FAULT!!!!

Ruby: Knuckles, please calm down!

Rouge: Just let it be, Knucklehead.

Rarity: But why?!

Discord: Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Which is why I also brought back nine other villains who are now on the loose and not really big fans of yours. So... my bad.

Mane Six and Spike: [gasp]

Shadow: Are you being serious right now!?

Princess Luna: Let me get this straight. You wanted to boost the girls' confidence, so you brought back nine of our worst enemies to attack them?!

Discord: Don't forget Rabia and the Umbrum.

Princess Celestia: And while you united these nine villains, you pretended to be Grogar?!

Cream: Discord, how could you do this to them?!

Caramel: And us?!

Discord: Look what a great job you did defeating Sombra. All the confidence you gained. Remember the cheering? The hoof-bumps?

Twilight Sparkle: Except it was all a lie.

Discord: A well-intentioned lie.

Applejack: For all the time you've spent with us, you really haven't picked up too much in the way of friendship lessons, huh?

Twilight Sparkle: You've been setting up challenges for us the whole time, haven't you?

Starlight Glimmer: Wait, does that mean none of our successes were actually real?

[The Mane Nine got concerned about that]

Discord: Of course they were! You just had an extremely good-looking safety net.

Spike: And how was that supposed to help again?

Blaze: Yeah, you didn't really explain that.

Discord: I intended to prepare the Mane Nine for anything by orchestrating an epic attack at their coronation.

Sonic: [his jaw drops] FOR REAL?!

Gem: You beastly beast!

Amy Rose: Don't you know how much this day means to the Mane Nine?! And me?! I helped Rarity make the dresses!

Tunette: Why wait until now for such a horrible plan?!

Dr. Eggman: Yeesh, and people say I'm the villain...

Discord: You don't take a final exam on your first day of class. Just think – after defeating nine baddies, the Princesses of Harmony would have to believe that they're the leaders we all know they are!

[Shadow facepalms]

Princess Celestia: You have made a grave misjudgment, Discord. Do you have anything else you'd like to tell us?!

Discord: Would you like the good news or the bad news?

Princess Luna: That wasn't the bad news?!

Discord: All my chaos magic is... gone. Trapped in Grogar's Bell.

Cream: Oh... Sorry to hear.

Spike: [sighs] So what's the good news?

Discord: Chrysalis, Tirek, Nazo, Lyric, Dark Oak, Cosmos, the Storm King, and Mephiles now have all of the real Grogar's magic.

Shadow: [mutters gibberish] HOW THE ACTUAL FLIP IS THAT GOOD NEWS!?!

Discord: Compared to me losing my powers, anything else is good news!

Dr. Eggman: Yes, well, your villains gaining ultimate power was actually the main reason why I came here.

Tails: Huh, well why didn't you teamup with then? I mean, you're a villain yourself.

Dr. Eggman: Maybe so, but me and the Eggman Empire only want to RULE the world, we don't wanna destroy it.

Sonic: Still doesn't excuse the fact that you tried to destroy us on multiple occasions, Baldy McNosehair.

Dr. Eggman: Oh whatever.

Princess Celestia: GIrls, Luna, Cadance, we need to make a plan. Maybe it's not too late to stop this disaster from happening!

Twilight Sparkle: I... I need some time to think first.

Trixie Lulamoon: Don't we all?

Discord: Well, there isn't any time! Look what I overheard them saying! [snaps]

[beat]

Discord: Ugh! Just listen to my voice and use your imagination!

Evil Rises/Team Sonic and the Mane Nine Defeated/Eggman to the Rescue
[The Pillars of Old Equestria were facing Tirek, the Storm King, Lyric, and Black Doom]

Star Swirl the Bearded: Spread out and stay ready, friends! Canterlot depends on us!

[booming]

[loud thud]

[zap!]

Lord Tirek: [laughs, grunts]

Rockhoof: [groans]

[teleportation zap]

[zaps]

Lord Tirek: [cackling]

[thud]

[smack!]

[thud]

[magic humming]

Pillars: [groans]

Lord Tirek: [smacks lips] Magic seasoned with age. Delicious.

Rockhoof: No!

[shatter!]

[magic humming]

Rockhoof: [groans]

Lord Tirek: Oh, run along. The big stallions are playing.

Rockhoof: [groans] Somnambula...! Warn... the princesses...!

[loud thud]

[magic humming]

Lord Tirek: Ahhhh. The perfect dessert to a legendary meal.

[Just then, Shadow and Moonlight appear as Shadow hits him with a Chaos Spear]

Lord Tirek: Hey, what the?! [notices Shadow]

Disharmonious Emperor Black Doom: I was wondering when you'd show up!

Disharmonious Emperor Lyric: Now that you are, how about a fight!

Disharmonious Emperor Storm King: [holding the Staff of Sacanaus] Yeah, bring it!

Shadow: Yeah, I don't think so!

Moonlight: Shadow, now!

Shadow: [warps to the Pillars] Chaos Control! [warps himself, Moonlight, the Pillars away]

Disharmonious Emperor Black Doom: Darn it, they got away!

Disharmonious Emperor Lyric: Let them, the sooner all of them are together, the better.

[Meanwhile, at the School of Friendship, Starlight, Trixie, Gleam, and Majesty were overseeing the evacuation of the students]

Starlight Glimmer: Stay with your buddy! No running! Just follow Counselor Trixie!

Queen Chrysalis: Starlight, star bright. Where's the pony I want to fight?!

Starlight Glimmer: I have to go. You got this?

Trixie Lulamoon: Nopony does a great and powerful escape like Trixie.

Majesty: Be careful out there, you two

[teleportation zap]

[teleportation zap]

Queen Chrysalis: Ah. Just the headmare I want to see.

Starlight Glimmer: You didn't make an appointment! [yells]

[teleportation zap]

Starlight Glimmer and Queen Chrysalis: [groan]

[wind howling]

Queen Chrysalis: What is this place?

Starlight Glimmer: Somewhere you can't hurt anypony!

Queen Chrysalis: Wrong. I can hurt you!

Gleam: Starlight, look out!

[multiple magic/teleportation zaps]

Queen Chrysalis: Argh!

[multiple magic/teleportation zaps]

Queen Chrysalis: [growls] Stay still so I can blast you!

[teleportation zap]

Starlight Glimmer: Oh, yeah, real motivating!

[zap!]

Starlight Glimmer: Aah!

[teleportation zap]

Queen Chrysalis: [snarls]

[zap!]

Queen Chrysalis: Ugh! You'll pay for that!

Starlight Glimmer: Put it on my tab!

[teleportation zap]

[zap!]

[rumbling]

Queen Chrysalis: No!

[crash!]

[teleportation zap]

[boom!]

Starlight Glimmer: Aah! Ugh! [groaning]

Queen Chrysalis: [as she wraps Starlight in changeling goop] Now I'll have all eternity to take my revenge on you! [suddenly gets hit by a boulder] What in the-

Silver: [flies down] Not if we have anything to say about it!

Blaze: [grabs Starlight and breaks her out of the cocoon] Let's get you out of here!

Starlight Glimmer: Right! [warps herself, Silver, Salt, Gleam, Blaze, and Pearl away]

Queen Chrysalis: Hmph, run while you can, there's no escape!

[At Dr. Eggman's lair, the Eggman Empire was preparing for attacks from Mephiles, Cosmos, and Dark Oak, and I do mean, the Eggman Empire, because they have the entire fleet, the Deadly Six and the Hard-Boiled Heavies included]

Morpho: Be prepared for anything.

Hypnobot: What do you think we're doing?

Eggman Nega: Just make sure the enemies don't find out we're working with who they're trying to destroy.

Dr. Eggman: Indeed, our alliance with Team Sonic has to remain a secret at all costs!

???

[Back at Canterlot Castle, everyone was discussing the situation]

Starlight Glimmer: We couldn't stop them either, they overpowered us.

Shade: And all communications with Eggman have been lost, so it's likely that he perished along with his troops.

Sonic: [sighs] Darn it...

Emerl: Clearly, this is more dangerous than all the previous threats combined.

Gmerl: Agreed.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, we've faced enemies of Equestria before.

Applejack: And we've always succeeded, no matter the odds.

Fluttershy: That wouldn't be possible without all of you.

Discord: You're welcome!

Spike: Dude, read the room.

Starlight Glimmer: So we ask for your help again today in what is our biggest battle yet.

Rarity: All of Equestria is at stake, and we can't do this alone. But we're not afraid.

Sunset Shimmer: Because with friendship as our armor and teamwork as our power, nopony can ever bring us down!

[Suddenly, the doors open and several guards are thrown aside as Nazo appears]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Miss me?!

Shadow: Nazo!

Sonic: Hey, nice color scheme, I didn't know Hyper Perfect forms were in season. [chuckles]

Hyper Pefect Nazo: [angrily] Will you ever shut your mouth?!

Sonic: Okay, jokes over. Everyone, take cover!

[Everyone takes over except the Princesses, the Jewel Pixie Animals, and Team Sonic]

Princess Celestia: Stand down, Nazo!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Well I could. But... I'm having too much fun! [charges up a black energy blast] Now DIE!!! [unleashes it at the heroes]

[The Mane Six quickly put up a barrier, blocking the blast]

Princess Celestia: Luna, Cadance, with me!

[Celestia, Luna, and Cadance fly up to Nazo]

Twilight Sparkle: Wait!

Sunset Shimmer: What are you...?

[Celestia, Luna, and Cadance fire their magic at Nazo]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [puts up a shield] Your power isn't even matched up to mine! Still, it be a shame if someone were to, take it!

[Nazo activates the Bewitching Bell, which drains Celestia, Luna, and Cadance of their magic, and they drop to the floor]

Team Sonic/Jewel Pixie Animals: [gasps]

Mane Nine: [horrified] NO!!! [runs up to the other three princesses worried]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: That's the problem with you magic-types. You're so reliant on all your special power that you forget to use your brains! [laughs]

Sonic: [groans angrily] Nazo, you monster! [summons the Chaos Emeralds and turns into Super Sonic]

Super Sonic: [warps in front of the Princesses] Get Celestia, Luna, and Cadance to safety, it's me he wants!

Tails: But Sonic, you might need our help!

Super Sonic: The others went to the wedding pavilion, transform into your Super and Rainbow Power forms there, and Tails, get the Tornado ready, this could go south real quickly!

Sapphire: Okay Sonic, but be careful! You too, Tails!

[Tails nods and the Mane Nine quickly teleport everyone else away]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Do you really think your Super Form will defeat me now?!

Super Sonic: Not really, but that doesn't mean I can't try! [charges at Nazo with a boost]

[Sonic and Nazo then battled each other for a few minutes, with Sonic kicking Nazo in the gut by the end of it]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [groans angrily, then charges up a black energy blast] You ridiculous imbecile! [fires the blast at Sonic who teleports away, destroying the back half of the castle]

Super Sonic: [warps outside] Running out of time here, Tails! [looks at the castle] Oh man! Celestia's not gonna be happy about that.

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [warps to him] Give up already, you can't win!

Tails: [shoots him from the Tornado] Keep telling yourself that!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: DON'T INTERFERE, FOX BOY! [fires a blast at the Tornado, causing its' engine to fail]

Super Sonic: Bail, Tails, BAIL!

[Tails quickly activates the ejector's seat and tries off, turning into his super form into the process, the Tornado crashes into a field, exploding into pieces]

Super Tails: Great, now you owe me a plane, Nazo!

Super Sonic: [angrily] NOW!

[The rest of Team Sonic and the Mane Nine warp in with the Jewel Pixie Animals]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: What?!

Pinkie Pie: Surprise attack! [shoots Nazo with her magic]

Super Shadow: Hmph! [creates a bazooka gun construct and aims it at Nazo] Perish!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [dodges all the attacks] It'll take more than that to- [Rainbow and Sonic fly past him, sending him spinning] The flip was that?!?

Fluttershy: Fly, my pretties! [several geese fly towards Nazo]

Super Amy: Now's my chance! [hits Nazo with her Hammer, who gets sent flying want into Blaze's flames]

Sunset Shimmer: [blasts Nazo back with her magic] How's that for using brains?!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [growls] Why can't you all just die already?!? [blasts at the heroes but they all avoid it]

Starlight Glimmer: I don't think so! [grabs Nazo with her magic]

Super Sonic: My turn! [flies up into the sky before getting into a spindash and flying down, hitting Nazo like a meteor, sending him crashing down into the pavilion]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [weakly] Killjoys...

[Team Sonic and the Mane Nine warp in, followed shortly by everyone else, who walked in]

Super Sonic: It's over, Nazo!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [grins evilly] That's what you think...

[Everyone turns and notices the light coming from the windows, then, all the windows shatter and a huge shockwave pushes all of them back, except for Nazo, the other eight villains soon arrive]

Disharmonious Emperor Dark Oak: Did you really think you could escape for long?!

Cosmo: [gasps] Dark Oak!

Marine: Mephiles!

Sticks: Along with that snake guy and that malice creating monster that possessed the princesses.

Disharmonious Emperor Cosmos: Ah, at least SOMEONE remembers me!

Super Knuckles: To be fair, the Princesses kinda had to go to therapy for a few weeks because of you!

Super Cream: Either way, you aren't getting Discord!

Disharmonious Emperor Storm King: Oh please, he's useless to us now anyway!

Disharmonious Emperor Mephiles: Now, how's about we destroy you now so we don't to deal with you! [blasts at the heroes]

[The Mane Nine quickly put up a shield spell, blocking the blast]

Shining Armor: Good call, Twily!

Queen Chrysalis: You think your pathetic shield can stop us? [laughs] The Pillars and fellow royals are without magic. Your school is abandoned. Face it, Princesses of Harmony. You've lost!

Rainbow Dash: You can attack us and we may fall.

Pinkie Pie: But Equestria will still stand, united in friendship.

Twilight Sparkle: And we won't stop until we defeat you, no matter how many ponies you take down!

Legion of Doom: [laugh]

Vector: What's so funny?

Disharmonious Emperor Lyric: Didn't you all notice something was wrong in Equestria?

Disharmonious Empress Cosmos: We've been busy.

Queen Chrysalis: A whisper here, a rumor there...

Lord Tirek: Destroy some crops, cause some damage...

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Turn pony against pony...

Disharmonious Emperor Storm King: Until your whole kingdom is on edge...

Disharmonious Emperor Dark Oak: Waiting for just one tiny thing to push them over the brink!

Lord Tirek: There's no backup friends or rainbow magic to save you now!

Super Sonic: Wait, so, those setbacks at the Summer Sun Celebration... [gasp] They were your doing, weren't they?!

[All of Team Sonic gasp]

Disharmonious Emperor Mephiles: Say, you're quick to catch on.

Super Shadow: I-I can't believe it, they've been planning this under our noses the entire time!

Super Sonic: Yeah... (Don't show weakness, Sonic, just go to your happy place and think this through)

[Calming music plays. Sonic is seen relaxing in his hammock at Green Hill when the villains appear]

Sonic: [groans; then takes deep breathes]

[Sonic is seen standing in a white void, breathing a sigh of relief, but then the villains appear, again]

Sonic: [growls in frustration]

[Then a beeping sound was heard]

Sonic: Wha?

[Back in his hammock relaxing dream]

Sonic: What?

[Back to reality, then to a man in a Sonic costume putting a sack in a trash can]

Sonic: Oops, one too many.

[Back in reality, Sonic noticed he had gotten a call from Sally Acorn]

Super Sonic: [activates his communicator] Sal? What's up?

Sally Acorn: [via communicator] Sonic, I don't know how to explain this to you, but Freedom Fighter HQ has fallen!

Super Sonic: WHAT?!

Gadget: [via communicator] Armies of Lyric's robots, Metarex, and Storm Creatures came in at all sides, our defenses weren't prepared!

Super Sonic: [looks angrily at the villains] You... [to Sally] You and the others get somewhere safe, we'll meet you as soon as we can!

Sally Acorn: [via communicator] Okay, good luck everyone!

[The Mane Nine look down worried]

Queen Chrysalis: You know what's stronger than friendship, girls? Fear!

Mane Nine: Aah! [They lose concentration and the shield shatters]

Lord Tirek: 'Cause when you have to protect yourself, you don't have time for anypony else. [levitates the Mane Nine to do, they try their best to break free only to get caught by their wings]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Too bad you never taught that in school.

[Everyone else looks in fear]

Spike: [scared] GIRLS!

Princess Celestia: Let them go!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Yeah, we can't do that, but I CAN show them the way to oblivion! [charges up a black energy blast as the Mane Nine look on in fear and tearfully brace themselves]

Celestia/Luna/Cadance/Shining Armor/Sunburst/Discord: [in tearful unison] NO!

Super Shadow: CHAOS SPEAR! [fires thousands of Chaos Spears at the villains, cancelling Nazo's attack and causing Tirek to let go of the Mane Nine] That's enough, no more hurting our friends!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [furious] Miserable wretch! Insignificant speck of fecundate scum! How DARE you!

[All nine villains fire their combined power at the group, all of them brace for impact, only to see the Mane Nine shielding them with a broken piece of the castle wall]

Mighty: [to Team Sonic and the Mane Nine] Go, you lot! Get help!

Espio: We'll hold them off you get back!

Super Cream: Wait, what?!

Charmy: If anyone knows how to defeat them, it's you guys!

Stygian: They're right, it's up to you for now!

Twilight Sparkle: [worried] But, we can't just leave all of you here!

Cosmo: It's our only chance!

Emerl: You'll come up with something to save the day!

Vector: You always do!

Spike: We believe in you!

[Team Sonic and the Jewel Pixie Animals realize they have no choice and warp away, the Mane Nine looked liked they were about to cry when Discord ran in front of them]

Discord: [scared] ''FLY, YOU FOALS! SAVE YOURSELVES!''

[The Mane Nine tearfully teleport away while the others are completely overwhelmed by the Legion's power, outside of Canterlot, Team Sonic and the Jewel Pixie Animals were waiting when the Mane Nine warped to them with tears in their eyes]

Super Sonic: I'm sorry we couldn't help our friends.

Sapphire: But I'm sure they'll be okay.

Shine: I mean, we have survived worst.

Trixie Lulamoon: [sighs] I hope so...

[Suddenly, the Legion of Doom warp in front of them]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Teleporting away so you can figure out a way to save the planet. Clever, but, you're not getting away that easily!

Super Sonic: [stares at the Legion with a determined face] Okay, you know what, how's about you just use the Rainbow of Light on these jerkwards so we can just get back to what we were doing before!

Twilight Sparkle: Oh right! And you go ahead and use Super Rainbow Blast!

Super Sonic: Hmm, got it!

Tunette: Alright, but be careful everyone!

[The Jewel Pixie Animals went into hiding]

[Team Sonic and the Mane Nine fly up to the legion, charging up their respective team attacks]

Disharmonious Emperor Lyric: Oh, so you still want to fight, very well!

[Team Sonic unleash Super Rainbow Blast while the Mane Nine unleash the Rainbow of Light, however, to their shock, the attacks literally did nothing to them, not even a scratch!]

Super Sonic: [shocked] What the- [gets interrupted when Nazo suddenly warps in and kicks in the gut] (That speed... IMPOSSIBLE!!)

[The villains then proceeded to repeatedly attack to the clearly outmatched Team Sonic and Mane Nine, tossing them about like ragdolls much to the Jewel Pixie Animals' horror]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [warps to Team Sonic and the Mane Nine as they get stuck in Tirek's magic grab] To think Sonic, all those years ago you completely destroyed my body, leaving me nothing but ashes...

[Team Sonic and the Mane Nine look worried, with even Shadow having a horrified look on his face for once]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [charges up a gigantic ball of energy, similar to that of a Spirit Bomb] But now it is your turn... TO DIE!!!!!!! [throws the giant energy ball at the eighteen defenseless heroes, who scream in horror as the attack hit its' targets dead on, sending them crashing back down to earth with a might kaboom!]

Jewel Pixie Animals: [horrified; in tearful unison] NOOOO!!!!!

[When the smoke cleared, Team Sonic and the Mane Nine were on the ground, back in their regular forms, and with bruises and scratches all over them, the Chaos Emeralds scattered on the floor]

Sonic: [weakly as he gets up with his friends] You... dirtbag...

[The Jewel Pixie Animals came out of hiding as they flew to their owners]

Sapphire: [worriedly] Sonic, speak to me! Are you okay?!

Sonic: Hey, it's okay Sapphire...

[The Mane Nine struggled to their feet, but after a few seconds, their eyes rolled back and they fell unconscious, clearly, their injuries had been too much for them]

Team Sonic: GIRLS!!!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: I HAVE DONE IT!!!

Lord Tirek: WE, have done it.

Hyper Perfect Nazo: I know, but I had the killing blow, so yeah, bragging rights!

Shine: [worriedly] Not even the Chaos Emeralds are strong enough to beat them!

Disharmonious Empress Cosmos: So what do we do with the ponies? Turn them to stone, transform their bodies into rocking horses?!

Disharmonious Emperor Lyric: We can decide later, for now, I believe there's still something we need to do.

Disharmonious Emperor Mephiles: Agreed! [summons the Chaos Emeralds to him] Now, Chaos Emeralds! It's time for the final curtain call! [using the Emeralds' power, he opens a portal to another realm] [laughs] Finally, the seal is broken! At long last, I'll be able to join with you!

[Dark Gaia roars as he materializes]

Sonic: [shocked] Dark Gaia...?

Disharmonious Emperor Mephiles: Yes, surprised?! Even he survived the convergence that sent the people of our dimension with Equestria, only he ended up in another plain of existence instead of resting in the planet's core!

[The Chaos Emeralds then fall to the ground, completely drained of their power]

Rouge: The Emeralds!

Amy Rose: T-They're useless now...

Cream: [sadly] Those poor Chaos Emeralds, all their power is gone...

Knuckles: That's just great, the Mane Nine are out of commission, the rest of our friends are captured if not dead, and now we don't have a single working Emerald!

Shadow: What do we do now?

Sonic: I-I don't know...

[Suddenly, the Egg Carrier appears and blasts at the nine villains, the Jewel Pixie Animals got out of hiding and went to their owners as the Egg Carrier landed]

Dr. Eggman: Don't just stand there, get in!

Sonic: Eggman?! But ho-

Dr. Eggman: GET IN!

[Team Sonic and the Jewel Pixie Animals carry the Mane Nine as they get in the Egg Carrier and it flies away]

Tails: I don't understand, we thought you and the Eggman Empire were-

Doctor Starline: Thought we were what? Dead? [laughs]

Amy Rose: Yeah... How did you even-

Dr. Eggman: It's simple.

[Flashback]

Dr. Eggman: [voiceover] I simply needed more time to figure out how they got more powerful after they figured out I was helping you. [after Eggman's base is destroyed and the villains have left, the Egg Carrier comes out of camouflage mode] Faking my death was the perfect way!

[End of Flashback]

Dr. Eggman: I'll admit, you put up a good fight out there, I wasn't expecting you to lose though.

Orbot: Uh, how are the Mane Nine?

Cubot: Yeah, they don't really look too good.

Amy Rose: [looks at them worried] Poor things, the villains must've beat them so badly, they knocked all nine of them unconscious...

[The camera pans to the unconscious Mane Nine as the screen fades to black]

Arriving at the Clubhouse of Harmony/The Mane Nine Lose Hope/Discord Without Discord/Escape from the Legion
[At the Clubhouse of Harmony, Apple Bloom, Sonia, Scootaloo, Manic, Sweetie Belle, Sally Acorn, Nyx, D-Fekt, Snowdrop, Gadget, Cozy Glow, Infinite, Sandbar, Tangle, Gallus, Whisper, Yona, Nicole, Smolder, Bunnie Rabbot, Silverstream, Antoine, Ocellus, Rotor, Tempest, Johnny Lightfoot, Grubber, Jewel, Moon Dancer, Porker Lewis, Lightning Dust, Mina, Gilda, Honey, Gabby, and Lina were waiting for any sign of hope]

Sally Acorn: First off, thank you for your hospitality, with everyone else in Equestria divided, we didn't know where else to go.

Sandbar: Well, no problem, Sal, this is one of the last few safe spots for the moment, so make yourself welcome.

Johnny Lightfoot: I'm surprised that the Tree of Harmony was able to lead us here despite it being destroyed.

Porker Lewis: Yeah, how does that thing work?

Smolder: Wish we knew.

[Just then, the Egg Carrier lands nearby]

D-Fekt: Huh? The Egg Carrier? [sees Eggman coming out with Team Sonic, the Jewel Pixie Animals and a still unconscious Mane Nine] Eggman? Sonic? [gasps] The Princesses of Harmony?!

Grubber: What's wrong? [looks down] Oh.

[Sandbar soon lets the group in]

Dr. Eggman: I know some of you don't like me, but I just did your allies here a favor, so you're welcome.

Scratch: Hey, this is quite nice.

Grounder: Yeah, when did this place get made?

Gallus: Several months ago, why'd you ask?

Coconuts: Eh, just curious.

Honey: Nevermind that, what's wrong with the alicorns?!

[Team Sonic just sigh sadly]

Sonic: Knocked out cold they were.

Knuckles: [feels for their pulses] They're still alive, but they're barely holding on.

[Team Sonic put the Mane Nine down on the floor]

Dr. Eggman: Yes, well, I finally figured out how that bell made your enemies more powerful, Sonic.

Sonic: Uh, the villains used Grogar's magic to make themselves stronger, that might explain why they wiped the floor with us.

Dr. Eggman: That maybe true, but it also seems that bell is also holding the magic of Discord and the other three Princesses, so it seems that this Bewitching Bell can steal magic as well as give it.

Knuckles: Oh, so their magic wasn't destroyed.

Neo Metal Sonic: Of course not, just drained.

Tunette: Well that explains a lot...

Silver: Yes, well, Salt, can you and the other Jewel Pixie Animals use your magic to maybe help with the recovery process.

Tart: Well, okay then.

Salt: Let's do this.

[The Jewel Pixie Animals use their fairy dust on the Mane Nine and Team Sonic, healing their injuries and causing the Mane Six to thankfully regain consiousness]

Mane Nine: [gasps; coughs]

Tails: Whoa, easy there, you're gonna be alright.

Twilight Sparkle: Ugh, my head, what happened?

Rouge: The injuries you sustained were kinda too much for your bodies to take, so you all blacked out.

Shine: We were just barely able to heal you all before you all died on us.

Rainbow Dash: Oh, well, thanks.

Starlight Glimmer: Wait, where are we?

Gallus: The Treehouse of Harmony?

Applejack: Oh... Wait, if we were knocked out, then-

Pinkie Pie: We lost?!

Yona: Uh, what?

Kncukles: Long story short, our enemies returned, stronger than ever, and they kinda, wiped the floor with us.

Sonic: In other words, we were kinda defeated... Chaos Emeralds got drained from summoning Dark Gaia and everything, and to make matters worst, a lot of our friends got captured, even Spike...

[The others were mortified]

Tempest Shadow: Oh dear...

Mina Moongoose: That sounds horrible.

???

Sonic: Sapphire, Shine, go and see if our friends back in Canterlot are okay, we'll help the Mane Nine.

Shine: Okay Sonic, let's go.

[The Jewel Pixie Animals fly out the window and towards Canterlot, which was almost nearly completely destroyed, in the catacombs, the villains were keeping Team Sonic and the Mane Nine's allies in a cell]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: And now for your complete destruction! Won't that be fun?

Queen Chrysalis: Patience, Nazo. Destruction is so... permanent.

Disharmonious Emperor Lyric: We need to show the rest of Equestria that we've defeated their heroes first. Besides, we should have fun with our guests.

Lord Tirek: No! We should hunt down Team Sonic and the Princesses of Harmony. As long as they're out there, they're dangerous.

Disharmonious Emperor Dark Oak: Is that big, strong Minotaur that scared of eighteen weaklings?

Shining Armor: Eighteen weaklings who outsmarted you time and time again?

[the villains prepared to zap the cage but held back]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Relax. It's not like their friends are going anywhere.

[fizzle]

[cage creaks]

Queen Chrysalis: The fools brought the remains of my throne to Canterlot to protect themselves. Hah! Those shards block their magic. [to Cosmos] 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"?

[Discord just sighs in annoyance. Meanwhile, Nazo was seen looking at the bell]

Lord Tirek: What are you doing?!

Disharmonious Emperor Storm King: You saw what happened when you tried to take Discord's chaos magic.

Nazo: Yeah, but there's Alicorn princess magic in there now, too! We could be so much more powerful if I just could have—

Big: This is really bad.

Julie-Su: We gotta find Team Sonic and the Mane Nine. They've probably already figured out some way to defeat those monsters.

Sunburst: Any idea how we get out of here to do that?

[squish]

Spike: Too sticky. There's no way anypony could get through this.

Mighty: We probably wouldn't even be in this mess if SOMEONE didn't decide to play both sides! [looks at Discord with a furious look in his face]

Discord: [remorseful] I'm so sorry. It made so much sense in my head. The Mane Nine defeat their worst enemies and are filled with confidence.

Princess Celestia: These villains weren't even threats and you made them ones!

Discord: [worried] I truly did have the best intentions. I swear I'll make it up to you.

Shining Armor: You better!

Ray: If so, it's gonna need to be a pretty epic make-up.

Lord Tirek: Stay away from the Bell, you pest!

[zap!]

Lord Tirek: None of us can use the Alicorns' 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.

Spike: No, Discord! This isn't the way to help!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Oh really now?!

Queen Chrysalis: Threats are more my speed. Speak!

Lord Tirek: He's lying. He won't tell us.

Discord: I certainly won't tell you after the way you lied to me last time we teamed up, you muscle-bound cretin.

Lord Tirek: This "cretin" could destroy you before you blink, so choose your words carefully.

Discord: 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"?

Vector: OH SNAP!

[Enraged, Tirek blasts at the cage but it bounces off and destroys the stone from Chrysalis' throne]

Disharmonious Empress Cosmos: [laughs] You missed!

Sunburst: [smirks] Did he, though?!

[Sunburst and Shining Armor quickly make little work of the cage, freeing everyone]

Ray: [to Discord] That... was a pretty epic make-up.

Espio: And now, we disappear!

[Espio throws a smoke grenade, as it explodes, everyone rushes out, escaping the villains clutches, with Omega and Gamma blasting through the bricks outside]

Omega: Escape sucessful.

Espio: Hmm, it takes a mighty foe to trap a ninja, that was the only chance we had.

Julie-Su: Well, nice work Espio, you too, Discord, Shining, and Sunburst.

Princess Cadance: So what now?

Princess Celestia: We need to find Twilight and the others, make sure they're okay.

[Just then, the Jewel Pixie Animals showed up]

Sapphire: There you guys are!

Shine: We were so worried!

???

Seeing How the Legion Turned Everypony Against Each Other/Fallen Friendship/The Mane Nine Regain Hope
???

[Celestia and the others enter, much to everyone's relief]

Amy Rose: Oh thank heavens you're all alright.

Tunette: You're welcome.

Princess Celestia: Where are the Princesses of Harmony? Are they alright?

Sandbar: Yeah, they're upstairs, but it's not good...

[In a room upstairs, the Mane Nine had been hard at work looking for a way to stop the villains but failed to find one, the Princesses and the others enter]

Twilight Sparkle: You're here?! We were so worried!

Rainbow Dash: How did you escape?!

Princess Luna: Let's just say someone decided to make up for eariler. [looks at Discord who smiles]

Mighty: And then the Jewel Pixie Animals led us back here!

Ray: Granted, finding it was more difficult then you would think.

Marine: But, now that the entire team is assembled, I think it's time to take back Equestria!

[Sticks pulls a rope releasing a banner that has the Mane Nine smiling on them]

Sticks: Ta-da!

Twilight Sparkle: [worried] No.

Fluttershy: [worried] You all made a terrible mistake.

Rarity: [worried] From the second we got up here, we've been searching every book, scroll, and spell for a way to rescue you and stop our enemies.

Rainbow Dash: [worried] But we haven't found anything.

Sunset Shimmer: [worried] We failed.

Spike: You'll come up with something.

Shining Armor: Yeah, we can't save Equestria without you.

Pinkie Pie: [scowls] You all escaped without our help.

Applejack: [scowls] You didn't need us then, so why would anypony need us now?

Sonic: Look girls, we know things look bad, but we've been in tough spots before, and we always-

[The Mane Nine suddenly let out a cold chuckle which quickly turned into a cold laugh that worries everyone]

Knuckles: [concerned] Girls?

Mane Nine: [with demented smiles] Always save the day?! [their expressions quickly turned to anger]

Pinkie Pie: [angrily] Look around! Nothing we've ever done has mattered!

Staright Glimmer: [angrily] Rabia, returned and destroyed the Tree of Harmony!

Rainbow Dash: [angrily] The rest of our enemies, returned and more powerful than ever!

Fluttershy: [angrily] The School of Friendship? Shut down!

Twilight Sparkle: [angrily] Everypony in Equestria is so blinded by fear, they can't remember what friendship is!

Mane Nine: [their coats lost their colors as they suddenly glowed in a red aura with their eyes glowing red in anger and their voices became more distorted] Nothing we do makes any difference!

Cream: I'm scared!

Princess Cadance: But we're still free and together.

Decoe: Indeed, you really shouldn't be like that.

Bocoe: Yeah, that's actually somewhat scary.

Shadow: [angrily] Well that's just dynamite. [lands on his feet] The Mane Nine lost all their hope and confidence! [to Discord] None of this would ever happened if you didn't recruit Tirek, Chrysalis, Nazo, and the other villains to try and destroy us all as Grogar!

Dr. Eggman: Exactly!

Discord: [sighs] Look, I'm sorry about that, I really am.

Sonic: It's alright, Discord, I know you were just trying to help...

Bokkun: I mean, it's not like things can get any worse, right?

[windigos neighing]

[wind howling]

Spike: Haven't we learned never to say that by now?

[Ponyville]

[windigos neighing]

Earth Pony 2: The windigos!

"Winter Lotus": [scoffs] That's just a Hearth's Warming Eve story.

Earth Pony 2: 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!

[ponies panicking]

[Cloudsdale]

"Cotton Sky": That's enchanted wind! We can't control it! And we can't rely on those snooty unicorns for any help! Build up the cloudbank! We'll try to block it!

Hyper Sonic: What about everypony down below?

"Cotton Sky": They're on their own. We all are.

[Canterlot]

[windigos neighing]

Unicorn 1: Fortify the shields around the School of Magic! We need to protect ourselves! It's all we can do.

[ponies chattering]

[Treehouse of Harmony]

Tails: [worried] We have to do something!

Mane Nine: [coldly] We've already done enough.

Sonic: Wha- Girls, you can't just give up on yourselves like that...

Knuckles: Yeah, just listen out, bad things happen. No matter what we do, there's never gonna be a time when everything's perfect.

Ruby: But that don't mean you quit trying!

Mane Nine: [angrily with their eyes shrunken] What if we make things worse?!

Rainbow Dash: Ever since Celestia told us we were taking over, we've been gaining confidence.

Trixie Lulamoon: Then we find out it's all a lie.

[Discord looked down in shame]

Starlight Glimmer: Equestria's been falling apart around us, and we didn't even notice!

Twilight Sparkle: What kind of princesses does that make us?

[The Mane Nine lose their dark aura and tears stream down their faces in sadness and fear]

Mane Nine: [in teaful unison] We're scared.

[Everyone looks at them in sadness, even Shadow couldn't help but feel pity for them]

Cream: You know, Fluttershy probably knows more about being scared than anypony.

Amour: But thanks to all of us, she learned she's always less scared when they're with friends.

[Fluttershy just sighs and looks away with the rest of the Mane Nine]

Princess Celestia: [takes off her crown and hugs them from behind] Girls, it's okay for royalty to be scared, we're not exception.

Twilight Sparkle: [surprised] Really?

Princess Celestia: [with tears in her eyes] Yes...me, Luna, and Cadance were scared today. We almost lost the nine of you eariler...

Princess Luna: [with tears in her eyes] Seeing you at the mercy of those fiends... Being powerless and helpless...

Princess Cadance: [with tears in her eyes] We could only just watch... [to Shadow] Shadow, thank you...

Shadow: [grins as he nods] What can I say, they don't call me the Ultimate Life Form for nothing. Either way, if we're facing impossible odds, we're facing them together!

Blaze: It's what we always do, girls.

Sunset Shimmer: But we're on our own, and we have no idea what to do!

Sweetie: That's true pretty much every time something terrible is about to happen.

Twilight Sparkle: We don't have the Elements of Harmony anymore.

Starlight Glimmer: How can you all be so calm about this?

Spike: Because, even if you don't believe you can do this, we do.

Sapphire: We believe in you. In us.

Knuckles: The truth is, all our lives wouldn't be the same if we hadn't met.

Tart: We're better off because of our friendship with you nine.

Sapphire: So when you say you haven't made a difference, that's just not true.

Shine: You've made a big difference, to all of us.

Amy Rose: [picks up the picture of the Mane 9, Team Sonic, Spike, the Jewel Pixie Animals, and all of their friends] Did that make you feel better?

Starlight Glimmer: Guys, what are you doing here?

Shadow: Girls, we have to stop Tirek and the others now before the whole planet is destroyed.

Knuckles: It might be though, Eggman and his minions made a truce with us, the rest of our friends are safe and okay, and we're all still alive! Presides, we've faced countless enemies like this before, and we've always preveiled.

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs] There's no point, it's already too late...

Tails: That's where you're wrong. All your life of learning friendship, you've never stopped relying on others and all of us, and you were right.

Cream: Some of us would never have the courage if we didn't meet you and your friends.

[Twilight walks over to the mirror with the others]

Twilight Sparkle: [sighs]

Sonic: Look girls, if you just give up, do nothing here, and continue being so stubborn, what hope do we and the rest of Equestria have left? With us either as ponies, mobians, robots, griffons, dragons, yaks, changelings, hippogriffs, or kirin? You need to fight back, Twilight. Show everyone that friendship prevails no matter what our differences are, they make us shine.

[Twilight Sparkle]

Here you are alone, and you deserve it

Your friends have turned to stone

And that's on you

You had a cause to serve but did you serve it?

Or did you see yourself in a way that wasn't true?

This is not your father's fairytale

And no, it's not your mother's fault you fail

So when your story comes to light

Make sure the story that they write

Goes once upon a time a girl tried harder

Once upon a time she tried again

Once upon a braver choice

She took a risk

She used her voice

And that will be my once upon a time

This time

Why tell all those lies?

You feel unworthy

Like there isn't solid ground for you to stand

But a stack of lies is not a firm foundation

You cannot build a castle on a mountain made of sand

This is not your mother's dark desire

And no, it's not your father's hair on fire

Turns out it's you who's not awake

So if there's change you wanna make

Take once upon a time she fought a dragon

Once upon a time that beast was me

Once upon a misspent youth

She faced herself

She spoke the truth

That's how I see my once upon a time

This time

Life is not a storybook but life unfolds in chapters

Turn the page and start to make amends

There's no pre-written guarantee of "happily ever after"

Step into your greatness before your story ends

So when your story ends

They'll say once upon a time a girl flew higher

Once upon a time she made things right

Once upon a tie that binds

She changed her heart

To change their minds

That's got to be my once upon a time

This once upon a time

I'll finally see my once upon a time

This time

[The Mane Nine quickly regained their colors and hugged Team Sonic and the Jewel Pixie Animals with tears in their eyes]

Twilight Sparkle: Thank you, everyone.

[Shine flies up to Twilight and hugs her]

Starlight Glimmer: Yeah, sometimes even the Princesses of Harmony need a reminder that there's more to the Magic of Friendship than just rainbow lasers.

Spike: Although that part is pretty cool.

Rarity: We still need a plan.

Princess Cadance: Well, what can we do?

Charmy: Yeah. Nine of our worst villains have taken over, powered up by ancient magic.

Omega: Everypony in Equestria is so scared and divided that the windigos are circling.

Gamma: Dark Gaia is on the lose, so we'll likely have to call in Chip.

Vector: And a majority of the mobian citizens and Freedom Fighters are beginning to lose hope and give into despair!

Silver: Despair is a luxury we don't have!

Rainbow Dash: Yeah, it's up to us to fix all this.

Cosmo: Yeah, but how exactly?

Sonic: Hmm, Young Six, Cozy Glow, Fizzlepop, Gadget, D-Fekt, see if you can convince your respective races to come and help us, we're gonna need all the help we can get.

Cozy Glow: On it!

Tempest Shadow: Anything to help.

Sonic: Sal, you and the others contact Chip and Chaos, we're gonna need the Gaia Colossus if we're gonna combat Dark Gaia.

Sally Acorn: Right away!

Rotor: You can count on us, Sonic.

Antoine: Indeed.

Bunnie Rabbot: Do you need Chaos to bring the Master Emerald so we can recharge the Chaos Emeralds?

Knuckles: Yeah, summoning Dark Gaia drained all the power out of them so they need time to heal.

Sonic: Eggman, you and your troops assemble what remains of your badniks and try to take back the Freedom FIghter HQ.

Dr. Eggman: Alright then, Sonic!

Eggman Nega: The good news is that we've plenty of badniks to work with.

Morpho: Indeed, in fact, here's a chart.

[A chart appears, show Eggman's robot count, which was well in the millions]

Sonic: Whoa... Talking about overcompensating, I mean, how many robots does one guy need?

Dr. Eggman: If you weren't always destroying them, I wouldn't NEED so many!

Snivley: Can we just get to it, sir!

Zavok: Indeed, time's running out!

Decoe: Alright, let's go!

Bocoe: Good luck to the rest of you.

Bokkun: Yeah, go team!

Dingo: Uh, everything those guys said, yeah.

Sleet: [dragging Dingo] C'mon, you dingus!

Metal Sonic: [sigh] I wish the best of luck to you, old rival. [walks away]

Star Swirl: Luna, Cadance, the Pillars, Discord, Celestia, and I will go too.

Princess Celestia: We may not have our magic, but we aren't completely helpless!

Starlight Glimmer: If you insist, Celestia.

[The Princesses, the Pillars, and Discord warp out]

Pinkie Pie: Huh, so what are we gonna do, Twilight?!

Twilight Sparkle: The same thing we do every time, Pinkie. Try to save the world!

Sonic: Which we always do!

Tails: True dat!

[The Jewel Pixie Animals smiled before embracing their owners]

The Final Battle/Citizens of Equestria to the Rescue
[Back in Canterlot]

Disharmonious Emperor Dark Oak: So what is all the prisoners escaped, it's nothing!

Lord Tirek: Indeed, now we can hunt down the— Windigos?

Disharmonious Empress Cosmos: I'm not hunting anypony d-d-d-down in this weather! Can't we magically get rid of them and w-w-w-warm things up?

Queen Chrysalis: I don't think we should. This could work out quite well for me.

Hyper Perfect Nazo: You mean us.

Queen Chrysalis: 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!

Lord Tirek: The windigos are ancient magic. It would be unwise to leave them unchecked. Best we deal with them now.

Queen Chrysalis: [snarls]

Disharmonious Emperor Storm King: We probably should deal with the Mane Nine and Team Sonic before anything else.

Disharmonious Emperor Lyric: Thought it was too cold to hunt anypony down.

Disharmonious Emperor Black Doom: We don't need to. They're right there!

[Team Sonic, the Mane Nine, Spike, and the Jewel Pixie Animals stand determinedly on the outskirts of Canterlot]

Spike: You think they know we're here?

[magic whooshing]

Applejack: I'd say they have an idea.

Shadow: In other word, yes, they do know we're here.

Twilight Sparkle: That bell has Discord, Cadance, Celestia, and Luna's magic inside. If they use it against us—

Fluttershy: Discord's magic is so chaotic, he's the only one who can use it.

Cream: Yeah, none of the villains will be able to use it!

Queen Chrysalis: You just can't accept that you were beaten before you even realized there was a fight, can you?

Twilight Sparkle: You can't beat us if we never give up! As long as we have our friends by our side, we'll put our faith in friendship—

Hyper Perfect Nazo: BOOOORING!!!! Can we just skip to the part where we destroy you all!

Sonic: Oh, it's on now!

[The Jewel Pixie Animals turn into their jewelry forms as Team Sonic and the Mane Nine put them on, transforming themselves to their Friendship Princess Forms and Twinkle Rainbow Style forms respectively]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Oh? So you still want to fight? After that embarrassment of a defeat last time you still want to give it your all and try to the save the world?

Friendship Prince Sonic: That doesn't matter, now!

Hyper Perfect Nazo: Yeah, and I just realized I don't care! [blasts at the heroes who teleport to safety]

[In the trees]

Twilight Sparkle: We need to get that bell and get Discord and the princesses their magic back. Girls, you're with me.

Starlight Glimmer: Got it.

Rainbow Dash: Sweet! I'll grab that bell in ten second—!

Twilight Sparkle: No. We're the distraction. Team Sonic's gonna get the bell.

Friendship Prince Sonic: Well, you know what they say, Gotta Go Fast!

Friendship Prince Tails: Don't worry, Twilight, we won't let you down.

Friendship Prince Knuckles: Indeed, we won't, least I hope so.

Disharmonious Emperor Mephiles: Come out, come out, wherever you are!

Disharmonious Empress Cosmos: There!

[The Mane Nine charge at the legion, Nazo blasts at them but they all dodge while Rainbow and Trixie confused him and Mephiles, Tirek was about to go after them when Twilight, Sunset, and Starlight teleported in front of him, Tirek and Lyric throw boulders at the three alicorns but from bouilder to boulder and blast them in the face, Chrysalis was about to shoot them when Pinkie gets in the way]

Pinkie Pie: Step right up, evil fillies and gentlevillains! Try your luck!

[zap!]

Queen Chrysalis: [growls]

[zap!]

[Queen Chrysalis: grunting]

Pinkie Pie: Missed me!

[zap!]

Pinkie Pie: Close, but no cherrychimichanga!

[zap!]

Pinkie Pie: [laughs] Thanks for playing!

[zap!]

Disharmonious Emperor Dark Oak: Do they have to be so annoying?!

[zap!]

Queen Chrysalis: Not annoying! Distracting!

Fluttershy: Uh-oh! They figured it out!

Friendship Prince Sonic: New plan! Super Sonic Wind! [throws a wind current at Nazo's face while Amy hits Cosmos with her hammer]

Friendship Princess Cream: [kicks the Storm King in the face] This is for draining our friends' magic for your staff!

Friendship Prince Shadow: Chaos Control! [stops time, freezing Mephiles in place] Chaos Spear! [unleashes several Chaos Spears as time ressumes, each one hitting Mephiles]

Friendship Prince Silver: Meteor Smash! [throws several boulders at Tirek]

Friendship Princess Blaze: [uses Flamethrower on Lyric] Give up yet?!

Friendship Princess Rouge: I don't think they are...

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [angrily] ENOUGH OF THIS FOOLISHNESS!!! [unleashes a massive shockwave of energy that knocks Team Sonic and the Mane Nine back, they get back up, ready to continuing fighting]

Queen Chrysalis: [pulling on Spike's wings] One more step and the dragon's wings get plucked!

Friendship Princess Cream: [shocked] Spike!

Twilight Sparkle: Please! Don't hurt him!

Spike: Don't worry about me! Just save—! [groans in pain]

[Team Sonic and the Mane Nine back down and Chrysalis lets Spike go]

Lord Tirek: Turns out that the Magic of Friendship is your biggest weakness.

Hyper Perfect Nazo: A fitting end to your pathetic story.

[the nine ready their magic and aim at them]

Friendship Prince Knuckles: Who ever thought we'd go out like this?!

Friendship Princess Blaze: Not me, but don't show weakness!

Rainbow Dash: No matter what, we face it together!

[Team Sonic, Spike, and the Mane Nine huddle together and brace for impact]

Hyper Perfect Nazo: [sinisterly] Goodbye forever, Sonic! Game, Set, MATCH!

[The villains blast at the heroes when the screen goes white]

Spike: What happened? Can I open my eyes?

Friendship Prince Shadow: You sure can!

[Spike, Team Sonic, and the Mane Nine were being protected by a white magic shield]

Friendship Princess Rouge: Way to go, girls!

Twilight Sparkle: It's not us!

Friendship Prince Tails: It isn't, then...

[Sonic's communicator goes off]

Sally Acorn: [via communicator] Guys, it's Sally, on your left!

[they all look up to see a hill full of mobians, robots, unicorns, pegasi, earth ponies, hippogriffs, dragons, buffalo, changelings, yaks, and the kirins]

Lina: [was on FriendBot with Mighton, Bolts, Perci, Zooey, Cliff, and Q-N-C] Anyone need some backup?!

FriendBot: Threats to Sonic and friends detected.

[Then, Lina used her magic to open a a portal with Eggman, the Pillars, Discord, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, the entire Eggman Empire, and a whole army of Freedom Fighters and Royal Guards coming out of it]

Dr. Eggman: Good news, the re-taking of Freedom Fighter HQ was a success!

Chip: Seven lights of the Earth, rekindled! [forms the Gaia Colossus with the new restored Chaos Emeralds while Chaos enters his Perfect Chaos form, while Eggman Nega activated the Biolizard]

Friendship Prince Sonic: Whoa! It's everyone we ever helped, or fought!

Mighton: [rasies his hand] Citizens of Equestria, LET'S GO!

Bolts: Let's do this!

Jet: It's showtime!

Storm: For the world!

Wave: Here we go!

[the Freedom Fighters, Eggman's Badniks, Earth Ponies, Zecora, Capper, Buffalo, Dragons, Celaeno and her pirates, the Babylon Rogues, Griffons, The Hooligans, and Changelings charge at the legion, while FriendBot, Chip, Chaos, and the Biolizard take on Dark Gaia]

[The unicorns raise Team Sonic, the Mane Nine, and Spike and set them on the hill]

Lord Tirek: Don't let them escape!

Disharmonious Empress Cosmos: Which ones?!

[The legion get blindsided by the allies of the heroes]

[on the hill]

Thorax: The changelings won't fool them forever.

Cliff: And we don't know how long the unicorns' shield will hold.

Twilight Sparkle: I don't understand.

Sunset Shimmer: How are you all here?

Gallus: That's kinda our fault.

Cozy Glow: It would've taken longer, but...

Smolder: You know those long lectures about friendship you gave at school?

[Ponyville]

[windigos howling]

[ponies panicking]

Sandbar: We all know the story of Hearth's Warming Eve! We can defeat the windigos together!

Berryshine: You really think if we all sing a couple songs, everything will be fine?

Sandbar: It's not just singing that saved the founders of Equestria! It's what it represented!

[Canterlot]

Tempest Shadow: Earth ponies, unicorns, and Pegasi becoming friends! We learned at Twilight's school that friendship is the most powerful magic there is!

[Cloudsdale]

Cozy Glow: Focusing on our differences keeps us divided! Villains and creatures like the windigos use that division against us!

[Yakyakistan]

Yona: Yaks strong. Ponies strong. But yaks and ponies stronger together! Yaks must be loyal to pony friends!

[Dragon Lands]

Smolder: I know helping other creatures by being kind and generous sounds lame. But I've seen how powerful it can be!

[Griffinstone]

Gallus: Playing together! Singing together! Even laughing together! That's what real heroes looks like!

[Seaquestria]

Silverstream: Were we really happy by ourselves at the bottom of the ocean? Be honest! It's the ponies that showed us a better way!

[Changeling Kingdom]

Ocellus: 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!

[Roboken]

D-Fekt: We've got to do everything to help our friends, otherwise it's gonna be game over for the world!

[Seaside Hill]

Gadget: We've faced down perilous foes, and endless danger every day, but we always preveil, because these heroes don't back down!

[Back on the hill, the Mane Nine were showing tears of joy]

Friendship Prince Knuckles: How about that? It's just like you said the day we opened the school.

Friendship Princess Amy: [sniffles] So proud...

Friendship Princess Blaze: They grow up so fast, don't they.

Spike: The more creatures who know about friendship, the safer we'll be.

Friendship Prince Silver: We told you you had it all figured out!

[A changeling smashes against the barrier followed by Soarin' and Dulcy]

[the others look in shock]

Sonia: Uh-oh.

Manic: Oh dear.

[Tirek punches the ground releasing a shockwave pushing everyone back]

[The unicorns magic gives out and the shield falters]

[Everyone looks in worry]

Fang: This can't be good.

Bark: No kidding boss.

Bean: What do we do now?

Friendship Prince Sonic: [to the Mane Nine] I think that's your cue girls, save Equestria and be the rulers we know you nine can truly be!

[The Mane Nine nod and take to the skies]

[The legion angrily charge up to the mountain but multicolored magic stops them]

Mane Nine: [in their Canterlot voices in unison] ENOUGH!

[Everyone looks in shock]

Twilight Sparkle: Because of you, we almost lost our way!

Rarity: But every creature here has reminded us of the true power of friendship!

[The Mane Nine start glowing in their respective coat colors]

[Everyone regroups at the hill, as the Pillars rise up in white light]

Rainbow Dash: There will always be darkness in the world, but there will also always be those who find the light!

Fluttershy: The Pillars knew this! That's why they created the Elements of Harmony!

[Team Sonic, Spike and soon everyone else rise up in white light]

Pinkie Pie: The Elements showed us how strong our friendship could be! Together we worked to bring harmony to Equestria!

Applejack: But there will always be more to do! Which is why we teach others about the Magic of Friendship!

[the reformed villains smile fondly]

Trixie Lulamoon: Others who will continue our mission after we are gone!

Sunset Shimmer: Now we truly understand! The Elements were just symbols!

Starlight Glimmer: The real magic has always been right here! And the more who understand how powerful friendship is, the stronger we will all be!

[The Windigos and Dark Gaia lunge at the heroes while the Legion of Doom prepare to blast them]

Mane Nine: [in unison with their eyes glowing; in a echoed tone] Together.

[Everyone soon releases a rainbow of energy that reaches the Mane Nine]

Disharmonious Empress Cosmos: This is bad, isn't it?

Hyper Perfect Nazo: No, this is perfect. OF COURSE IT'S BAD YOU IDIOT!

[The Mane Nine use their combined magic use their combined magic to unleash the Rainbow of Light, banishing the Windigos and Dark Gaia, and the villains look in shock as they get engulfed by the blast and stripped of their stolen strength]

The Villains are Re-Imprisoned/Epilogue
[Everyone lands as Team Sonic and the Mane Nine return to normal, though the Mane Nine's manes and tails remain flowing for a few seconds before reverting]

Sonic: [breathes a sigh of relief] It's finally over...

Amy Rose: Yeah, that's what you stupid villains get for spreading distrust!

Dark Oak: Impossible! We're back to our normal selves!

Nazo: [bangs his fist on the ground in frustration] CURSES! FOILED AGAIN!

[Tirek, Cosmos, the Storm King, Black Doom, and Lyric back down in fear]

Queen Chrysalis: [angrily] You think friendship will save you?!

Mephiles: [angrily] We will always return! Nothing will ever stop—! [notices that he isn't holding the bell] Huh, where'd the bell go?

Sonic: Oh, you mean this? [the villains look in shock as they see Sonic holding the bell] Snatched it from you five seconds ago, just so you didn't get any ideas.

[Sonic quickly passes the bell to Discord, who gets blasted in the face with his magic as he releases it]

Discord: [creates several pineapples to test his powers] Much better. [snaps his fingers]

[A giant cupcake falls on the villains followed by chocolate rain]

Dr. Eggman: HA! That's karma for ya!

[Discord then aims the bell at Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, quickly restoring their magic. The Legion of Doom come out of the cupcake, just as all twelve princesses of Equestria, Team Sonic and several of their allies land]

Princess Celestia: There isn't a punishment worthy of all you've done!

Nazo: [scared] Oh, uh, please, mercy, I beg you! We didn't really mean all that stuff about trying to destroy you! It's like they say, "No Harm, No Foul", we're good, right?

[The Princesses glare angrily at the villains]

Charmy: LIAR!!!

Infinite: Can we just send these cream puffs to Tartarus so they can at least serve their sentences?

Zooey: Oh. That does seem fitting.

Perci: Fine by me.

Lina: Very well, if I combine my magic with Infinite's Phantom Ruby powers, it should open a portal big enough to send back to Tartarus.

Discord: May I help? Please?

Infinite: Very well then, it's only fair after all the trouble you caused.

[Infinite, Lina, and Discord combine their powers and open a Phantom Ruby portal to Tartarus]

[Tirek, Lyric, Black Doom, and the Storm King got sucked in almost instantly, while Dark Oak, Cosmos, and Mephiles tried to hang on for deal life but failed]

Nazo: Oh no, I'm not getting imprisoned again! [grabs Chrysalis] Here, take Chrysalis!

Queen Chrysalis: Wait, WHAT?! [gets thrown into the portal]

Nazo: [resists to get pulled in with all his might, only for Sonic to come in and kick him into the vortex] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

[The portal closes]

Discord: Together forever. I can't think of anything that they would want less!

[Everyone cheers at their victory]

Zooey: [hugs Tails] You were amazing! [kisses Tails on the cheek]

Eggman Nega: Oh ho ho! Look who got the girl by being himself! I didn't see that coming!

Metal Sonic: Neither did I.

Tangle: I'll admit, this was the most fun I've had in years.

Whisper: Agreed.

Dr. Eggman: You know Sonic, even though we've been fighting each other for years, helping you safe the world for once was actually, quite, er, what's the word?

Doctor Starline: Fun?

Sleet: Exciting?

Dingo: Awesome?!

Dr. Eggman: Yeah, all of the above, in other words. [throws his laser gun to floor and stomps on it] I give up, I'm through with trying to conquer the world!

Sonic: Wait, what?

Dr. Eggman: Yeah, figured you'd be surprised, but in seriousness, today has taught me the true meaning of oppression... and has made me lose my taste for inflicting it. Don't worry though, I'll keep my robots, but I'll try to keep the attacks to a minimum, only at underpopulated areas from now on, assuming that's fine with you.

Sonic: Hmm... Sure, it's a deal!

Dr. Eggman: Great, now if you excuse me. [brings down the Egg Carrier] I need to head back and rebuild my lair, though when I do rebuild it, I'm un-plugging the security system so anyone not in the Eggman Empire can get in safely.

Orbot: [worried] Un-plugging the security system?

Cubot: [worried] Does that include us?

[Eggman looks at his robotic minions]

Dr. Eggman: Nah, you're still family, plus, some of you are still above a paperweight. aAnyways, good luck at the coronation, Princesses of Harmony, and don't worry, I'll try my hardest to improve my reputation once everything is all set and done.

[Eggman, Eggman Nega, Morpho, Snivley, and the rest of the Eggman Empire take their leave on the Egg Carrier]

D-Fekt: You know, he's actually not that bad when he isn't trying to kill us.

Princess Celestia: [to the Mane Nine] When I sent Twilight to Ponyville, I had high hopes. When you became the Princesses of Harmony, I knew I made the right choice. But nothing could prepare me for how proud I am right now. Equestria is definitely in the right hooves. You nine are ready.

[The Mane Nine look around to see everyone bowing at them]

Twilight Sparkle: You know what? I think we are.

Tart: Thank goodness.

Shine: First question, your Highnesses. What do we do with all these creatures?

Sweetie: We're gonna need a lot more chairs for the coronation!

Twilight Sparkle: Actually, as rulers of Equestria, we'd like to postpone the coronation for a while.

Starlight Glimmer: At least until the castle's rebuilt.

Sunset Shimmer: Besides, there's something we need to do first.

[the scene cuts to Team Sonic, the Mane Nine, the Jewel Pixie Animals, Spike, and even Eggman and his henchmen spending some quiet time enjoying donuts at Joe's donuts shop]

Rarity: Post-apocalyptic donuts. Interesting choice.

Gem: Yeah...

Dr. Eggman: Come here often?

Sonic: Yeah, well, sometimes anyway.

Sapphire: Kinda a few times at best.

Dr. Eggman: I'm still surprised that you wanted me to hang out with you guys after everything I did.

Twilight Sparkle: We know, but as long as you're willing to change, we can help you.

Shine: So true.

[Eggman smiles]

Rainbow Dash: Presides, there's gonna be plenty of time for all the challenges and struggles and adventures to come.

Trixie Lulamoon: For now, we just want to spend a quiet moment with some of the best friends we've ever had.

Cream: Aw, shucks.

Applejack: Well, mostly quiet.

Pinkie Pie: [eating noisily] Mmmm!

Tails: I'm just happy we were finally able to save Equestria, maybe evil will stop for good.

Shadow: I doubt it, we can't plan for every possibly, new threats will come and go.

Moonlight: Yeah, Shad's right.

Knuckles: We know, but if the next threat does come, we'll be ready!

Ruby: Indeed, we will.

Fluttershy: It's like the end of an era.

Rainbow Dash: Or the beginning of an even more awesome era!

Twilight Sparkle: All we know is whatever comes next is going to be perfect.

Sonic: How do you know that?

Twilight Sparkle: With you guys by my side, how could it not?

Main Cast: [laugh]

[Meanwhile, in Tartarus]

Nazo: I don't understand... How could our plan have gone so badly?!

Lord Tirek: Beats me.

Dark Oak: Ugh! I can't believe it, we were THIS close! I am seriously upset!

[At that moment, the villains' minions get dropped into the cage they were in]

Nazo: [just groans in frustration when a clearly angry Chrysalis pokes him with her hoof]

Queen Chrysalis: [angrily] Take Chrysalis first, huh?!

Nazo: Uh... It was a joke? [smiles innocently as he shrugs]

[Queen Chrysalis just prepares her magic as Nazo runs for his life in fear]

Cosmos: [gets some popcorn] This could be entertaining.

Mephiles: Eh, better than being trapped in a scepter, I guess.

[The villains just watch Chrysalis chasing Nazo as the episode fades to black]
