The Irelanders' Super Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - The Beginning of the End/Transcript

This is the script for The Irelanders' Super Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - The Beginning of the End.

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

Twilight Sparkle: [panting]

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

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?

Connor Lacey: 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.

Raven Queen: Guys, let's not jump to conclusions.

Stephen: Besides, (pants) I can't go as fast as you all you know.

Connor (Thomas and Friends): It's about time you got here, Stephen.

Stephen: I know, Connor. I'm going slow these days.

Paxton: Let me give you a push, Stephen.

Stephen: Thanks, Paxton. Me wheels need a rest and that we're in a hurry but not too fast please.

Paxton: Right you are.

[Paxton pushes Stephen towards the castle]

Pinkie Pie: Plus, 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!

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

Rainbow Dash: Race ya!

[She zoom off, making Pinkie spin around like ball and bounce along the ground. 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 the Irelanders and Mane Six]

Princess Celestia: Girls. Irelanders. 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!

Connor Lacey: Wait, what?

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

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

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna: [giggling]

Princess Luna: Well, there is more to it.

Hiro: There is? We do not understand.

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

Princess Celestia: And it's all thanks to you and Connor, Twilight. And your friends, of course.

Spike: Who, us?

Rarity: Oh, pshaw. [giggles]

Rainbow Dash: It's about time you noticed!

Violet Parr: And I'm glad it wasn't about having to fight a villain bent of Equestrian domination.

Connor Lacey: Me too.

Twilight Sparkle: Thank you!

Mewtwo: (curious of this urgent message) 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!

Mane Six and Spike: [gasp]

Irelanders: 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 Twilight and her friends as saying that she chooses them to be the new rulers of Equestria, much to the Mane 6's shock and Discord's surprise and disappointment]

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

Twilight Sparkle: [panicked noise]

[The intro starts and ends with the title "The Irelanders' Super Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - The Beginning of the End". Twilight is 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.

Connor Lacey: But you can't retire.

Lightning McQueen: Equestria needs both it's princesses to do their respective jobs. Raising the sun and moon each day and night. Twilight and her friends are incapable of that.

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

Princess Celestia and Princess Luna: Mm-hmm!

Princess Luna: With the help of your friends, of course!

[Twilight's friends smile at her with confidence]

Dusty Crophopper: But why would you choose Twilight to take your place? You know she's not comfortable with these kind of things!

Princess Celestia: We can't think of anypony 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!

Connor Lacey: That's right. Surely, there's someone else more than worthy of taking your place than Twilight.

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!

Maisie Lockwood: 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.

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

Martin Kratt: 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.

Merlin: Yes, Rarity. This is so exciting!

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

Kion: Listen to them, Twilight. You can do this!

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

[The Mane 5 and Spike put their 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]

Mane Six and Spike: Protectors of Equestria!

Jimney Cricket: Yes, that's the spirit.

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]

Connor Lacey: (to Twilight getting nervous again) Not again, Twilight.

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've gone through over the years has been a training program.

Ashima: So stop overreacting, Twilight.

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.

Connor Lacey: (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 I 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?

Connor Lacey: (on the verb) That is very 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.

Paxton: 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 Sombra almost took back the Crystal Empire, 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, or with Cozy Glow and the school! [inhales] Am I missing anything?

Rarity: Pony of Shadows.

Spike: Starlight when she was evil.

Fluttershy: Discord when he was evil.

Applejack: Do Flim and Flam count?

Connor Lacey: Also, The Storm King, Sunset Shimmer when she was evil, the Dazzlings, Midnight Sparkle, Principle Cinch, Gaia Everfree, Juniper Montage when she was evil, The CPA Shadowbolts, Wallflower Blush when she was evil and Vignette Valencia when she was evil.

Elsa: That is a lot of villains we've beaten to prevent domination of Equestria.

Stephen: 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!

Connor Lacey: What can possibly go wrong?

[The scene changes to the Foot Empire in the woods]

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: How can we defeat Connor Lacey and his Irelanders? And take control of the 16 realms and Ireland?

Hawk Moth: I have no idea, my dear.

Diesel: We've tried to prove many times that diesels are better than steamies but Thomas and his steamie friends always foiled our plans.

Poison Ivy: No kidding, black box. Ever since we first banded together, it's been nothing but failure after failure after failure.

Robbie Rotten: (scoffs) Our Big Book of Evil Plots. We've tried everything in it. Nothing seems to be able to conquer him. We've tried helping Cozy Glow take over Equestria by imprisoning those ponies in Tarturus.

[The flashback of "The Irelanders' Super Adventures of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic - School Raze" starts playing, showing them helping Cozy Glow drain all the magic from Equestria to become the future "Empress of Friendship", believing that friendship is the key to power by trapping Twilight and her friends in Tarturus, only for the Irelanders and the Young Six to foil her plot]

Robbie Rotten: That failed miserably.

Negaduck: Yes, we know. We should have known those creatures could be a threat to our plan after we first encountered them around the world.

Diesel 10: And then there's the time they've foiled my plans to destroy Lady and get rid of all the steamies on Sodor to make way for more modern diesels like me, Diesel, 'Arry and Bert.

[The flashback of "The Irelanders' Adventures of Thomas and the Magic Railroad" starts playing which features Diesel 10 and the villains trying to destroy Lady to diesel dominate Sodor, only for the Irelanders and Thomas to foil their plans and results in Diesel 10 and Robbie falling off the viaduct and into the barge full of sludge]

Robbie Rotten: Yes, it was a disaster. (shudder)

Janja: Yeah. They also kept foiling our plans to eat whatever we want in the Pride Lands, even with Scar's help.

Reirei: Yeah, it's all become a really big problem since then. It's like they're becoming more and more powerful every day.

Kiburi: If only if we can find more allies to become more powerful than the Irelanders.

Zach Varmitech: I agree. That way, we will find a way to get rid of them including those pesky Wild Rats once and for all.

Mzingo: Uh, that's Wild Kratts, Zach.

Zach Varmitech: Oh, whatever!

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: I'm sure we'II think of something but what?

[Then black smoke transport them out of the woods. 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 teleport her out of the area. In Tarturus, Tirek is counting his days of imprisonment on a wall]

Cozy Glow: Psst, Tirek!

Lord Tirek: It is Lord Tirek. And what is it now?

Cozy Glow: I just wanna make sure you can see my best friends rock sculpture from over there!

[She points to a sculpture of herself riding on Tirek's shoulders near her cage which makes Tirek rolling his eyes in annoyance and look at his chart with a bored and miserable look on his face]

Lord Tirek: [groans]

[Then black smoke teleport him and Cozy out of Tarturus. Deep underground, a magic circle forms by a stick which draws a magic insignia in it. A block crystal and some smoke appears from the ground and green eyes with purple smoke and a red horn came into view. In a brown cavern, Tirek and Cozy appears. They look to see Queen Chrysalis and the Foot Empire at the other end]

Robbie Rotten: Where are we?

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: How should I know? (saw Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow in surprise) Tirek? Cozy Glow? Chrysalis?

Queen Chrysalis: Lord Tirek! Linda Ryan!

Lord Tirek: A changeling? Linda Ryan? [to Cozy Glow] See? They get it.

[Cozy rolls her eyes]

Goigoi: Well, this is quite unexpected.

Donita Donata: Yeah. But did you guys bring us here?

Sloan Braeburn: And who are you may I ask?

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?!

[Cozy jumps behind Tirek's leg in fright]

Cozy Glow: [yelps] Oh, golly! We didn't bring you! I thought you freed us from Tartarus!

Oogie Boogie: And we thought you guys were the ones who brought us here.

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

Captain Hook: Then who dares snatch the great and glorious Captain Hook from the Never Sea like a common codfish?

Paisley Paver: That is weird.

King Sombra: [laughs]

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

Queen Chrysalis: King Sombra! You have returned?

Gourmand: But how? You're supposed to be dead.

Ushari: Has someone been using the Black Cauldron to bring Sombra back?

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: I don't think I used it to bring back anyone from the dead.

Queen Chrysalis: 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. Sombra 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 and Lord Tirek: [gasps]

Queen Chrysalis: The Grogar?

Lord Tirek: I thought that you were a legend!

King Sombra: I've heard of you.

Cozy Glow: Who?

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Him.

[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, Connor Lacey 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]

Cozy Glow: I am so sorry, but the name 'Grofar'? It just doesn't ring any bells.

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.

Diesel 10: We can see that. But who's Grogar and how do you know about him?

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.

King Sombra: I have also heard of the first Emperor of Equestria. The "Father of Monsters".

Azula: Hmm. Interesting but how are you back from the dead? You were killed by the Crystal Ponies and the Heart.

Grogar: I used my powers to revive Sombra from the dead.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Wow. Very impressive. But how did you get involved in Equestria and got the title of 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.

Joker: Whoa. That's very entreating, isn't it, Harley?

Harley Quinn: Yes, Mr J.

Cozy Glow: 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 boy and a bunch of other heroes. And do you know why they've always bested you?

Queen Chrysalis: Because they cheat!

Lord Tirek: Because they are annoyingly lucky.

Diesel: Because they like to be Really Useful for the Fat Controller.

Zach Varmitech: Because they got creature power suits to help them rescuing their precious "living free and in the wild" animals.

Janja: Because they respect the so-called Circle of Life.

Bree Blackburn: Because they think they're so smart like that girl who can talk to animals and ruined our plans to kill the elephants during the eclipse.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: Because they always won't give up and stay out of our way when we try to do our evil plots of conquest.

Cozy Glow: I'm just a kid, so...

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!

Hawk Moth: Hmm. That is quite brilliant.

Ushari: Yesss. Just like Scar bring us reptiles, hyenas, vultures, jackals and crocodiles together to join forces to get revenge on the Lion Guard so that we can take over the Pride Lands. Under his leadership, of course.

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: What we got to lose? (grew delighted) That is a great idea! It's a deal!

King Sombra: I don't do "ours". I only do mine.

[He teleport to the table in front of Grogar]

King Sombra: 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!

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: And not only that, you will also submitted to me and my Foot Empire as a new member. Is that understood, Sombra?

King Sombra: And if I refuse this deal?

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

Linda Ryan/The Shredderette: And I will have you terminated personally.

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]

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

Hawk Moth: Yes, Grogar. We'II make sure to get ready to work together to defeat our enemies once and for all. (laughs evilly)

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

Cozy Glow: Well, working together sounds an awful lot like making friends, so... you two are in luck, because I know all about that!

[Tirek flicks her off his shoulder in annoyance. Back at the School of Friendship, Starlight knock on Twilight's principal office door]

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

[She open 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!

Connor Lacey: Can you help us here, Starlight?

Starlight Glimmer: [hushed] Oh, got it.

[She 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?

Starlight Glimmer: Twilight!

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

Starlight Glimmer: Okay...

Twilight Sparkle: Hang on, I had "talk to Starlight" 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 I've 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, you have blossomed into one 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?

Starlight Glimmer: What?! You want me to take care of the castle and run the school?!

Twilight Sparkle: Yes?

Starlight Glimmer: Uh... I can't! I'm not ready! Remember what happened the last time you left me in charge?! And now you want me to do it permanently?! What if I don't do the right things?! [hyperventilates] What if—?!

Twilight Sparkle: Starlight, 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.

Connor Lacey: (getting what Starlight getting at) Yes, you told Starlight that she can do things when she's anxious. And we told you that you can do things when you're anxious. Like Judy Hopps said, it's your word against yours.

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 I become the new ruler of Equestria! [hyperventilates, hyperventilating into paper bag]

Spike: It was a valiant effort.

Connor Lacey: Yes, Spike. This is going to be a problem.

[Starlight face hoof at this predicament. The scene changes to Sombra's smoke approaching the Crystal Empire. The Crystal Ponies run in terror from the smoke. A Crystal filly trips over a black crystal. King Sombra appears and grins evilly at her, making her scared. Her parents run over to help her and glare at Sombra 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, Sombra uses his magic to make a giant black crystal to lift him out of the guards' grasp and blast them back. Sombra 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, Sombra move towards the palace with the guards, making a crystal slope to the window. Shining Armour and the guards run into the throne room where Princess Cadance is writing a letter to Twilight about Sombra's return and for help]

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

Princess Cadance: Hurry, Twilight! We need you and Connor!

[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 Sombra had captured Flurry Heart]

Flurry Heart: Mama!

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

King Sombra: Oh, but I already have.

Flurry Heart: [angry noises]

King Sombra: [laughs]

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

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

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

King Sombra: Kneel before Sombra!

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

King Sombra: [sighs] Long live the king.

[The screen turns to black with Sombra's glowing green eyes staring in it. The scene changes to Twilight pacing around the throne room when her friends and the Irelanders enter it]

Twilight Sparkle: Thanks for coming so quickly—

[Discord appears, knocking the Irelanders and ponies over]

Rest of Mane Six and Starlight Glimmer: [gasping]

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

Twilight Sparkle: That's exactly what it says!

Rarity: But... But how is that possible?! I thought the Crystal Heart had dispelled him into the ether!

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

Connor Lacey: (determined) We defeated him once, we can do it again!

Elsa: Who is King Sombra anyway?

Mewtwo: King Sombra is an evil unicorn whose heart as black as night who once tried to take over the Crystal Empire until Celestia and Luna turn him into shadow and banish him to the ends of the Arctic north, though before they defeated him, he put a curse on the Empire, causing it to disappears into thin air.

Elsa: Wow.

Twilight Sparkle: However, after a thousand years, the Crystal Empire returns along with King Sombra so Princess Celestia gives me a test to save the Empire by finding the Crystal Heart and in the end, Spike brings it back to the crystal ponies and use it and their crystal love to defeat him.

Elsa: That is amazing. But how's he back?

Kion: Linda must have brought him back with the Black Cauldron or something like when Janja and Ushari help Scar returned with the roar, staff and flames.

Ashima: Whatever brought him back is a mystery.

Izzy: Yeah. It could be either of those things.

Fluttershy: Shouldn't somepony tell Celestia and Luna?

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

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

Raven Queen: Well, since they almost never help us fight bad guys, I guess we'II just have to do it.

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

Twilight Sparkle: Maybe? Unless you'd consider taking care of Sombra 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 Twilight an graduation hat, a trophy and a giant check before making his exit by dimensional curtain, much to everyone's surprise]

Stephen: How does he do that?

Connor Lacey: Chaotic magic, Stephen. And it's very amusing. (laughs)

Applejack: Handlin' things on our own is all well and good, but last time we defeated Sombra with the Crystal Heart.

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

Jimney Cricket: 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 Sombra!

Connor Lacey: That is 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 Sombra. And I'm not sure that using them still counts as "handling things on your own".

Twilight Sparkle: My family is in danger. I'm not taking any chances.

Rainbow Dash: She's got a point.

Discord: Ugh, fine.

[He close the dimensional curtain]

Pinkie Pie: What's his problem?

Iago: Your guess is as good as mine.

Twilight Sparkle: Starlight, can you stay here and-

Starlight Glimmer: [cutting off Twilight] -take care of the school? I've got you covered.

[Later, they 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 they used many times before]

Connor Lacey: Now, let's go save the Crystal Empire!

Kratt Bros: To the Crystal Empire rescue!

[They set off to the rescue. At the throne room, Sombra eat some grapes while amused at Flurry's attempts to break the crystal cage]

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

Princess Cadance: It might not, but they will!

[She points to The Mane 6 and the Irelanders who are arriving at the scene]

Pinkie Pie: Cavalry's here! [grunts]

Aviva Corcovado: Your reign of terror ends here and now, Sombra!

Connor (Thomas & Friends): You're going back to the dead where you belong!

[They charge into battle]

King Sombra: [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 6 and the Irelanders, 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 Sombra's control and mind-control helmets]

Twilight Sparkle: Oh...

[Celestia and Luna appears, both enslaved by Sombra]

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 Sombra's influence]

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

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

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

[Sombra 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]

King Sombra: 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.

Darling Charming: Nice one, Shining Armour. (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 Sombra's control]

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

Connor Lacey: That's what you think, Sombra! Now, Twilight!

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

Spike: Yeah! Whoo-hoo-hoo!

Irelanders: Hooray!

[Twilight and her friends float back to the ground]

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

Fuli: You said it, RD.

[Spike and Flurry hug Twilight. Cadance fly back in the throne room to help fight Sombra 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.

Cruz Ramirez: As Ace would say, "free and easy".

Dynamite: Yeah, that is if he were here.

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]

Koki: That's very funny, Pinkie.

Twilight Sparkle: 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.

Rest of Mane Six and 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.

Connor Lacey: You said it, Twilight.

Captain Jake: We'II be ready for the next danger Equestria will have. In a couple days' time, that is.

Mr. Incredible: No matter how many times you save the world, it always manages to get back in jeopardy again. Sometimes I just want it to stay saved, you know? For a little bit. I feel like the maid. I just cleaned up this mess. Can we keep it clean for ten minutes?

Aisling: Good point, Bob. Every hero needs to have few minute breaks before a new danger occurs.

Fluttershy: What should we do to celebrate?

Pinkie Pie: I vote for a cakewalk!

[As the group walk out, black crystals appear and black smoke emerges with Sombra's eyes and horn, showing that he's still alive. The ground then starts to shake, much to the Irelanders and Mane 6's confusion and surprise]

Applejack: What's goin' on?

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know!

Connor Lacey: (seeing the black crystals and smoke behind him in shock) Uh, guys, Iook!

[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]

Irelanders: NO!!!!

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

King Sombra: [laughs evilly]

[The screen fades to black then cut back to Sombra laughing at his victory and the Irelanders and Mane 6 horrified by what he's done]

Rainbow Dash: What. Just. Happened?!

Stephen: The Elements! Destroyed!

Melody: Nooo!

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

Twilight Sparkle: It can't be!

King Sombra: 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!

Connor Lacey: Why you...!

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

[She, the other ponies and Irelanders charge into battle, leaving a dishearten Twilight feebly trying to piece the elements together with Connor trying to comfort her. Sombra fires his magic to trap the Mane 6 and Irelanders in a cage of crystals. Twilight tries to blast it with her magic but it has no affect, even when she try again]

King Sombra: 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!

Kion: You won't win! You'll never get past the guards at Canterlot! They won't let you seize the throne!

King Sombra: Oh, yes. And I think I know exactly where I'll start.

Applejack: Don't you dare say it!

King Sombra: Your sweet, little hometown.

Irelanders: PONYVILLE! NO!!!

Rarity: You leave Ponyville alone!

King Sombra: Or what? Without your Elements, it would be so easy to control you.

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

King Sombra: But there's no point. My conquering Ponyville is already your greatest fear! And if it goes well, I might plan to conquer all of Ireland to pay you all back for my defeat, starting with Connor Lacey's sweet, little hometown of Castlecomer.

Connor Lacey: NO!

King Sombra: Besides, you losing Twilight is already your greatest fear! [laughs maniacally]

Mane Six: No!

[Sombra turn to black smoke and flies out of the entrance]

Fluttershy: What do we do?!

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know! The Tree of Harmony grew the Elements! It kept the Everfree Forest under control! And now it's gone. Sombra will take over Equestria, and it's all my fault! I knew I wasn't ready to take the princesses' place, but I never thought I'd mess up this badly!

Connor Lacey: Twilight, it's okay. You didn't mess up. We didn't know that Sombra had set us up so that he can destroy the Tree of Harmony and the Elements.

[The others comfort Twilight then look at Pinkie]

Pinkie Pie: What are you looking at me for?

Rainbow Dash: This is usually when you say something funny to lift our spirits.

Pinkie Pie: Sorry. Nothing about this is funny to me.

The Mask: Oh, that's just sad.

Caitlin: [looks down in sadness but then puts on a look of determination] Guys, Sombra may have the upper hoof but that doesn't mean we're gonna give in!

Merlin: Yes, Caitlin is right! We can try.

Mater: Dadgum right!

Jimney Cricket: That's the spirit!

Rarity: [tears up] I'm sorry. I'm trying to be strong, but I just can't bear to think about poor Sweetie Belle under the spell of that monster!

Pinkie Pie: Or those sweet little Cake twins...

Rainbow Dash: Or Spike, or Starlight...

Fluttershy: Or Angel... or anypony forced to do that monster's bidding!

Chris Kratt: Which is exactly why we can't give up now!

Martin Kratt: Besides...

[Everything's Not Awesome starts playing]

Caitlin: Everything's not awesome~

Elsa: But that doesn't mean that it's hopeless and bleak~

Mako: Everything's not awesome~

Ishani: But in my heart, I believe~

Captain Jake: I believe~

Ono: We can make things better if we stick together~

Everyone: If we stick together~

Side by side you and I~

We will find a way~

[The song ends]

Captain Jake: Now how do we stop Sombra and get out of here?

[Applejack felt dirt on her hat]

Applejack: What the—? Twilight, what are you doin'?

Twilight Sparkle: We can't just stay here. I don't have a plan, and I don't know what I'm gonna do once we get out. But we can't sit here and let Sombra make slaves of everypony we love!

Connor Lacey: That's the spirit, Twilight.

Rainbow Dash: Let me help! I'm faster!

[She flew over to Twilight and start digging]

Pinkie Pie: I like digging!

[She curls her forelock into a drill and drills into the ground]

Ron Stoppable: (surprised by Pinkie's drill forelock) How does Pinkie do that?

Kim Possible: I don't know, Ron. Very weird as always.

Fluttershy: I've been known to get my hooves dirty!

Applejack: Move over, y'all!

[They join in digging]

Chris Kratt: If only there were aardvarks here like Slurpy that we can activate aardvark powers to dig out of here.

Martin Kratt: Or Muchangas back in the Pride Lands. Hey, there are other creature powers that do digging besides aardvarks.

Chris Kratt: Huh?

Martin Kratt: Like a honey badger.

Bunga: Yeah. You can touch me to activate your creature powers!

Martin Kratt: Thanks, Bunga.

[He and Chris touch Bunga]

Chris and Martin Kratt: Activate honey badger powers!

[They turn into honey badgers]

Chris Kratt: Now, let's get out of here.

[He and Martin join in digging along with Kion, Bunga and Fuli]

Rarity: Normally, I wouldn't dream of digging, but right now, show me the muddy!

[She start to dig as well. The scene changes to everyone running towards Ponyville]

Mane Six and Irelanders: [gasps]

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

Applejack: Apple Bloom! It's me! Look at me, sugarcube!

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

Applejack: Twilight, you gotta free her! Please!

[Twilight tries to free Apple Bloom but Sombra's magic is too strong for her magic to break]

Twilight Sparkle: [yelps] I... I can't! Without the Elements, my magic isn't strong enough to stop Sombra's!

Paxton: (gasps upon seeing two familiar faces)

Hiro: What is it, Paxton? Who have you spotted?

Paxton: Look!

[They look to see Spike and Starlight under Sombra's control]

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

Zazu: Well, that's not good.

Twilight Sparkle: Spike! Spike, where are you going? Starlight?

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

Twilight Sparkle: No! Snap out of it, you two! You're stronger than his magic!

[Then Twilight saw Rarity trying to get Sweetie Belle free from Sombra's control but to no avail]

Rarity: Sweetie Belle, please stop! I can't get her to stop! I can't get her—!

Twilight Sparkle: None of us can. We can't reach them!

Connor Lacey: Even Starlight's magic is no match for Sombra's trance.

Pinkie Pie: [screams]

Mewtwo: Something's wrong with Pinkie. Come on.

[They run to Sugarcube Corner where Pinkie try to snap the Cakes out of Sombra's trance but like Rarity, to no avail, making her very sad indeed]

Pinkie Pie: [sobbing] He made them bake a black licorice fruitcake that says "Congratulations to Our Favorite Supreme Emperor King Sombra" in green frosting! It's the ugliest cake I've ever seen! [sobbing]

Maisie Lockwood: (very sad now) How could Sombra do this?! (sobs)

Stephen: (comfort Maisie) There, there, Maisie.

Rainbow Dash: Twilight, this is bad! Like, really bad!

Fluttershy: [sobbing] I've never been so sad in my whole life!

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know what to do! I don't know how to free them, but I don't know how to stop Sombra! Everypony was so sure I'd do such a great job! Well, this is exactly what I was afraid of! Could anything else possibly go wrong?!

Pinkie Pie: Well... With the Tree of Harmony gone, the Everfree Forest could grow out of control and threaten the town!

Rarity: Darling, that's oddly specific.

[Pinkie grabs Rarity's face and points it at vines creeping over from the Everfree Forest towards Ponyville]

Mane Six and Irelanders: [gasp]

[The vines crept closer to Ponyville]

Fluttershy: [gasps]

Ashima: This is not good!

Lightning McQueen: Now what do we do?

Twilight Sparkle: Even if we figure out how to defeat Sombra and bring everypony back to Ponyville, if we don't stop the forest, there won't be a Ponyville to come back to!

Dusty Crophopper: She's right! We've gotta get rid of these things!

[Rainbow Dash nods then flew over to a flower stall. She look around until she pull out gardening tools and flew back to the others]

Mushu: Aaah. These could come in handy.

Connor Lacey: Yeah. I've done some gardening back home so we can use them to hold the vines off from destroying the town.

Fluttershy: For our friends!

Applejack and Rarity: For our families!

Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash: For our home!

Twilight Sparkle: For Equestria!

Mane Six and Irelanders: Equestria!

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

King Sombra: You! Break it down!

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

King Sombra: They've fled! Celestia and Luna are too cowardly to even stand against me! Equestria is mine! [laughs maniacally]

[The scene changes to the Mane 6 and Irelanders trying to cut the vines. Applejack kicks and smash the vines, Twilight and Rarity use their magic to blast them, Rainbow Dash cuts them with an axe in her mouth and Fluttershy free some animals from the vines]

Fluttershy: Come on, everypony! [shrieks]

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

Applejack: We've been at this for hours, but it's just growin' back too fast!

The Mask: This is even worse than dealing with Poison Ivy's plants many times.

Twilight Sparkle: We have to keep trying!

[They run towards the vines but they knock them backwards. Then as the vines get closer to the heroes, 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]

Mushu: The Princesses came to save us!

Applejack: I know we're supposed to be able to handle things on our own, but I've never been happier to see two ponies in my whole life!

[Then Star Swirl the Bearded appeared next to the Mane 6 and the Irelanders]

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

Twilight Sparkle: 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.

Twilight Sparkle: 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.

Connor Lacey: 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. The Mane 6 and Irelanders watch in awe]

Rainbow Dash: Aw, yeah! Go get 'em, beardy!

Elsa: Take em down!

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

Twilight Sparkle: Sombra's back, and he's taken control of all of our friends!

Princess Luna: We've left Canterlot defenseless!

Beshte: This is getting worse by the minute.

Princess Celestia: Twilight, you and Connor must go! Defend Equestria, and we shall contain the forest.

Connor Lacey: Will you be OK?

Princess Celestia: Of course we will.

Connor Lacey: Then, we'II defend Equestria from further Sombrarification.

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

[Twilight uses her magic to teleport her and her friends to Canterlot]

Mane 6 and Irelanders: (gasps)

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

Pinkie Pie: Aw, everypony's all evilly!

Maisie Lockwood: Great, just what we need! More Sombrafied ponies!

Royal guard: [growls]

Fluttershy: Sombra's gonna force us to fight our way through our friends?!

Jimmy Z: That's not fair!

Rainbow Dash: Not if I can help it!

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

Rainbow Dash: [gasps]

[Then magic blast at her. Rainbow look down to see the unicorns firing magic at her. She dodges their blasts and flew back to her friends]

Rainbow Dash: Okay, guess we need a different plan. Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know! I'm not prepared to fight against the citizens of Equestria! I guess that's one more thing I'm not ready to do...

Connor Lacey: True, Twilight. This is a catastrophe.

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. Rarity saw Fancy Pants and some ponies charging at her. She got freaked out but manages to evade them]

Rarity: [shrieks] Oh, sorry about this, Fancy Pants!

[She uses her magic to tie a ribbon around Fancy's eyes, making him unable to see. Rarity drop a big net on him and the ponies. Applejack and Pinkie tie both ends to black crystals]

Applejack: We promise we'll let y'all out as soon as we can!

[Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Iago, Zazu and Ono are being chased by the royal guards and split up]

Rainbow Dash: Ooh, will I go here? Or here? Or here, or there?!

Fluttershy: [pants] Huh?

[Rainbow gives Fluttershy a grin which signals her to go in her direction. Fluttershy nods and flew closer to
