This is the transcript for To Where and Back Again (Sonic: Adventures in Equestria)

Starlight's second nightmare/Luna's Emergency
[tumbleweeds rolling]

[doors open]

Starlight Glimmer: Hey, I wanted to apologize for my behavior earlier. Party Favor, can you hear me?

Twilight Sparkle: I told you you can never speak to them again!

Starlight Glimmer: What are you all doing here?

Twilight Sparkle: Making sure you do what I said! I'm your teacher, aren't I? Didn't I say to never come back here?!

Starlight Glimmer: Yes, but that just doesn't seem right. You aren't acting like yourself.

Starlight Glimmer and Princess Luna: Something is wrong!

[wind blows]

Starlight Glimmer: A dream? This is another dream!

Princess Luna: [whispering] Starlight Glimmer...!

Starlight Glimmer: Princess Luna?

Princess Luna: Starlight Glimmer!

Starlight Glimmer: Luna, where are you?

Princess Luna: Starlight Glimmer, there is no time! You must get help!

Starlight Glimmer: What? What are you talking about? This is just a dream!

Princess Luna: Not here! In the waking world! They've taken my sister and I! It's worse than the last time! Your dream called to me, and I was able to break through! You must find help!

Starlight Glimmer: What are you saying?! Who's taken you?!

Princess Luna: Be careful who you trust! You need all the help you can find! The changelings have returned and— [gasps]

Starlight Glimmer: Luna! [wakes up hyperventalating] They're back!

Spike: [enters the room] Starlight! I-

Starlight Glimmer: Spike! [hugs him] Thank goodness you're alright, Luna called to me from the dreamrealm, she said.

Spike: The changelings are back, I know, I barely made it out of the castle, but it's wrost than you think, the Metarex are back too, they've taken everyone, even Sonic!

Starlight Glimmer: Oh... But, what about Sunset and Trixie?

Spike: They were with you at the time the changelings attacked, so chances are they haven't been captured yet, but come on, we've gotta go get help, and fast!

Starlight Glimmer: Agreed!

Starlight and Spike meet up with Mighty, Ray, Sticks, Cosmo, Tikal, Shade, Ember, Sunset, Trixie and Gilda
[knocking]

Starlight Glimmer: Trixie? Trixie, it's Starlight! Are you awake?

Trixie Lulamoon: [muffled, bleary] Of course, Princess Celestia... I'd love to perform for peanut butter crackers...

[knocking]

Starlight Glimmer: Trixie, wake up!

[fireworks exploding]

Trixie Lulamoon: [coughing] [tired] Starlight? What time is it?

Starlight Glimmer: It's late. I think I figured out what's wrong with my friends!

Trixie: [yawning] I have a whole list of things that are wrong with your friends. We can go over it in the morning.

Starlight Glimmer: No, Trixie, we're in danger!

[door opens]

Trixie: [sighs] Okay, fine! Aside from lack of sleep, how are we in danger?

Starlight Glimmer: I think the—! [beat] What did you tell me never to tell another pony?

Trixie Lulamoon: Starlight, if you woke me up to play guessing games—

Starlight Glimmer: After we left my village, what did you tell me to never tell another pony you said?

Trixie Lulamoon: [sighs] [through very gritted teeth] That even Trixie's made mistakes.

Starlight Glimmer: Trixie, there's no time for this! What did you say?

Trixie: That even Trixie's made mistakes! Okay? Are you happy?!

Starlight Glimmer: [sighs] Yes. Sorry. I just had to make sure you weren't... [hushed] one of them!

Trixie Lulamoon: [hushed] One of who?

Starlight Glimmer: A changeling! I think they've taken Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!

Trixie: What?! Are you sure?! I mean, what do we—? We have to tell Twilight!

Starlight Glimmer: If I'm right, then it's too late.

Sticks: What's too late?

Starlight Glimmer: GAH! [turns out] What the?! Sticks?! What are you doing here?

Sticks: Beats me, I was just listening to what you were saying.

[Just then, Sunset flies down]

Sunset Shimmer: Guys, thank Celestia you're alright.

Spike: Sunset, you're here!

Starlight Glimmer: Where were you? Hacen't you heard what's going on, the changelings-

Sunset Shimmer: Are back, I know, but it's not just that, apparently, Cosmo's old enemies the Metarex are back too.

Spike: Wait, WHAT?!

Sunset Shimmer: You know about them.

Spike: Yeah, they outright attacked us while we were protecting the Crystal Empire from Sombra.

Sticks: Uh, how do you know that?

Cosmo: Because I told her. [walks over] But it's worser than you may think, Dark Oak has formed a alliance with Queen Chrysalis, with the Metarex's help, the changelings have already captured your friends, even Sonic and the others.

[gasp]

Sunset Shimmer: T-That's terrible!

[Just then, a portal opens, and Tikal, Shade, Mighty, Ray, Ember and Gilda walk out]

Mighty: Hey everyone.

Spike: Huh? Tikal?

Tikal: Yes, I know, the threat to this world is beyond even my level, but I couldn't just do nothing, the Master Emerald vanished from its' shrine, so I had to assume your enemies had something to with it.

Starlight Glimmer: Huh, wait, but then who's-

Tikal: Don't worry, Chaos is protecting Angel Island for now.

Mighty: So, what's the plan exactly?

Sneaking into the Castle/Chrysalis' Evil Plan/Be Prepared/Sneaking Out
[As they sneak into the castle

Meeting with Thorax, Discord, Moondancer, Lightning Dust, Chip, Jet, Storm and Wave/Heading on a Rescue Mission/Ready As I'll Ever Be
[Queen Chrysalis]

Believe me, I know

We've lost a lot of battles

But this time we will win

We're the bad guys, right

So they'll come to us

[Starlight Glimmer]

Now it's time to rise up

Or it's time to stand down

And the answer is easy to see

And I swear by the sword

If you're in, get on board

Are you ready?

[Emerl]

[Sunset Shimmer and Trixie Lulamoon]

We're ready

[Ray]

Are you quite sure we can do this?

[Mighty]

Together we will, guarantee

[Queen Chrysalis]

I'll make them hear me

[All Heroes]

Now it's time to repeat

Or it's time to resolve

[Starlight Glimmer]

Prove they can trust me

[All Heroes]

And the outcome will hardly come free

[Spike]

I'll save my home and family

[All Heroes]

Now the line's in the sand

And our moment's at hand

[Cosmo]

I'm ready

[Sunset Shimmer and Trixie Lulamoon]

I'm ready

[Queen Chrysalis]

Ready as I'll ever be

Chrysalis places the Mane Six under a mind control spell
[Meanwhile, at the Changeling Kingdom]

Dark Oak: [looking at Starlight and the others through a screen] Hmm, it would appear that we missed three of the princesses.

Queen Chrysalis: What?! [looks at Starlight, Trixie and Sunset] But how, there were only nine alicorn princesses last time I checked?!

Twilight Sparkle: [her hooves were held in bounds along with her friends] Oh, about that... Starlight, Trixie and Sunset may have ascended to alicorn princesshood since the last time we fought.

Queen Chrysalis: And you said nothing about it the whole time!

Pinkie Pie: Kinda hard to do that when you're knocked unconsious.

Applejack: Yeahm you probably should've thought twice.

Dark Oak: Figures... [to Red Pine, Black Narcissus, Pale Bayleaf and Yellow Zelkova] Should those twenty idiots get here, eliminate them, but bring those three alicorns in ALIVE!

Black Narcissus: You've got it!

Fluttershy: Don't you dare hurt them!

Yellow Zelkova: What are you gonna do, cry your way outta here?! [laughs]

[The Metarex leave]

Dark Oak: Alright Chrysalis, you take care of the Princesses of Harmony, I'll check on the other prisoners. [walks away]

[Meanwhile, in another part of the hive, Team Sonic, the Chaotix, Omega, Big, Emerl, Gmerl, Gamma, Marine, the Princesses, Shining Armor and Flurry-Heart were in a cage, Dark Oak walks in]

Dark Oak: [sinisterly] The end is near Hedgehog.

Sonic: [sarcastically] Oh hey, sounds like the party's started. Want to let us go and join in? No? Of course not, you hate fun.

Dark Oak: Foolish hedgehog, I can see Eggman doesn't like you, you never shut your mouth! [walks away]

Sonic: [groans angrily] Killjoy.

Tails: Ugh, we've gotta find a way out of here.

Knuckles: Yeah, we can't just sit around while Chrysalis and Dark Oak are planning to take over!

Shadow: You are aware that they didn't capture everyone, right?

Sonic: [realizes] Oh yeah, Spike went into hiding after the Mane Six got captured, and I'm sure Starlight, Trixie and Sunset were at "Our Town" at the time, so in that, I suppose it's up to them now.

Princess Celestia: [sighs] Then we can only hope for the best...

[Back with Chrysalis and the Mane Six]

Queen Chrysalis: [grins evilly] My my, how the tables have turned, several years ago, you six bested me, twice, and now, here you are, in my clutches!

Rainbow Dash: You'll never get away with this!

Twilight Sparkle: There's no way we're letting the Changelings OR the Metarex take over Equestria!

Rarity: Yeah, we'll break out of here and stop you!

Queen Chrysalis: [readies her magic] Oh really now?

[Queen Chrysalis zaps the Mane Six with her magic and their eyes turn green]

Queen Chrysalis: There, now I DEFINETLY trust you! [releases the Mane Six from their chains] Now kneel before your future empress of Equestria!

Mane Six: [monotone] Yes, my queen. [the Mane Six kneel]

Queen Chrysalis: Excellent! [laughs evilly as the screen fades to black]

Arriving at the Changeling Kingdom/Starlight the Leader/Sonic figures out how to escape
[Starlight, Trixie, Sunset, Moondancer, Lightning Dust, Spike, Ember, Gilda, Discord, Thorax, Mighty, Ray, Sticks, Cosmo, Tikal, Chip, Jet, Storm, Wave and Shade stare at the Changling Kingdom]

Discord: Oh, this is so strange. We're here and that's there, and I clearly meant for us to be there and not here.

Thorax: Oh, I-I can probably explain—

Discord: Oh, well. If at first you don't succeed...

Starlight Glimmer: Maybe we should come up with a plan first?

Discord: [blows] A what?

Moondancer: You know, figuring out the best way to do something before you actually do it.

Mighty: Yeah, we can't just rush in without a plan.

Discord: [laughs] Oh, that's adorable. But you see, unlike you, I can do anything.

Thorax: Uh, actually—

Discord: That's all very nice, but really a waste of time. We have me. And what else could we possibly need?

Trixie: A draconequus with magic and half a brain might help.

Discord: Why are you here again? I mean, it's not like you're going to stop the changelings by pulling a rabbit out of a hat. At least my magic can do something.

Thorax: The thing about magic here is—

Discord: Like this! [snaps] For Fluttershy! Yaaah! [snaps]

Pigasus: [oinks]

Ray: Uh... Was it suppose to disintergrate?

Thorax: I've been trying to tell you! Nothing other than changeling magic works here. Chrysalis' throne is carved from an ancient dark stone that soaks up outside magic the same way changelings soak up love. It's how she keeps the hive safe.

[magic fizzles]

Chip: And this rescue mission just got a lot more difficult...

Sunset Shimmer: [to Starlight] So, uh, what kind of plan were you thinking?

Starlight Glimmer: Without magic, I have no idea. But nopony else is coming. So somepony better come up with something.

[beat]

Starlight Glimmer: Anypony? Anything? Hmm. This throne – if we get into the hive and destroy it, can we get our magic back?

Thorax: Uh-huh!

Cosmo: Alright, sounds good.

Discord: Well, that's a terrible plan. How are we even supposed to get to the hive?

Trixie Lulamoon: We walk.

Jet: Or use any for of transport we have. [gets on his extreme gear]

Spike: Yeah, come on, we're not gonna get anywhere if we just stand around, so let's go.

Sunset Shimmer: Yeah, we've wasted enough time already...

[Starlight, Trixie, Sunset, Moondancer, Lightning Dust, Spike, Ember, Gilda, Discord, Thorax, Mighty, Ray, Sticks, Cosmo, Tikal, and Shade walk to the base while Chip flies near them and Jet, Storm and Wave hover by on their extreme gear]

Discord: I haven't walked that far in a millennia!

Starlight Glimmer and Trixie: [groan]

[They stop]

Discord: Oh, I don't know how any of you manage not being able to disappear and reappear whenever you want!

Trixie Lulamoon: Well, I, for one, definitely miss you being able to disappear!

Eggman Distracts Dark Oak/Team Sonic Escapes/Starlight and Friends confront Chrysalis
???

Sonic: [tired from spindashing at the cage so much] Welp, I've tried everything, I guess we're just gonna have to stay here...

[Everyone sighs sadly, except for Shadow]

Shadow: Oh forget that! [his inhibitor rings slide off his gloves] Cadance, get a shield up now!

Princess Cadance: [worried] What are you doing?!

Shadow: Something a little crazy!

[Cadance quickly puts up a shield]

Shadow: [angrily] CHAOS- [glows in a red aura] BLAST!!! [causes a great explosion of chaos energy that completely destroys the cage] There, now we can escape.

Amy Rose: Alright, but what about the Mane Six, Chrysalis still has them!

Silver: Yeah, and we won't exactly be good friends if we just leave them.

Shadow: I know, now let's-

Queen Chrysalis: Well, well, well.

[Everyone looks to see Chrysalis appearing from the dark]

Queen Chrysalis: I should've suspected that you'd find a way out eventually.

Sonic: Yeah, well then get ready, I've got about a good few hours of payback waiting to get out, so if you don't want a beatdown, I would suggest letting the Mane Six go!

Amy Rose: Yeah, don't even think about draining them, you love stealing, wedding destroying, bug!

Queen Chrysalis: [chuckles sinisterly] Oh really? How can I drain your friends of their love when I already have them under my control?

Shining Armor: [confused] What do you mean by "under my control"?

Queen Chrysalis: [smirks] You'll see. Girls.

[The mind controlled Mane Six walk out, making the entire group gasp in horror]

Mane Six: [monotone] Yes, my queen.

Shining Armor: Twily?

Sonic: [uneasy] Clever girl...

Queen Chrysalis: Like my new minions?

[Cadance's horn glowed in fury]

Princess Cadance: [angrily] Release my sister in-law and her friends at once!

Blaze: [fire appear in her palms] Or else you're gonna regret it!

Queen Chrysalis: I doubt that... [a alarm goes off] What?! [looks at the security camera to see that Starlight and her group have enter the throne room] Impossible! I thought Dark Oak got them?!

Shadow: Hmm, told ya you shouldn't underesitmate them!

Queen Chrysalis: [groans angrily] I'll deal with those foals and that traitorous Thorax myself! [to the Mane Six] Destroy them!

Mane Six: [monotone] Yes, my queen.

[The Mane Six's horns glow and a evil stare appeared on their faces as they slowly walked towards the group]

Sonic: Come on, girls! Snap out of it. You don't want to do this.

Princess Celestia: [tears up] Please, you have to fight Chrysalis' control...

Vector: I don't think they can hear us...

Sonic: [sighs] In that case, we're gonna have to fight our way through... [raises his fist for a fight]

[The group got into a battle stance, fully prepared to fight back, willingly or not]

Thorax's Transformation/The Mane Six are released from Chrysalis' Mind Control/The Changelings' Reformation
[Team Sonic, the Chaotix, Omega, Big, Emerl, Gmerl, Gamma, Marine, the Princesses, Shining Armor, Flurry-Heart, Eggman and Metal Sonic were seen tied up as the Mane Six brought them into the throne room]

Queen Chrysalis: Heh, looks like you were no match for us after all.

[Sonic groans in frustration]

Dark Oak: And while we're at it, we also also found some of your friends, and by that, we mean, all of them!

Sunset Shimmer: Sorry...

[Starlight, Trixie, Sunset, Moondancer, Lightning Dust, Spike, Ember, Gilda, Discord, Mighty, Ray, Sticks, Cosmo, Tikal, Chip, Jet, Storm, Wave and Shade look fearfully at Chrysalis and Dark Oak. Then lots of changelings appear from the burrows and then surround them, putting their slime on the heroes' hooves and/or feet. Queen Chrysalis flew down to her throne]

Spike: Ew...

Queen Chrysalis: Equestria is mine! [laughs at her victory]

Thorax: [strains] You won't get away with this!

Queen Chrysalis: I already have. Nopony is coming to save you.

Thorax: Thorax is still out there.

Queen Chrysalis: Don't mention that traitor's name in my kingdom! He was a fool to leave and even more a fool to return! When I find him, he'll learn just what happens to those who betray the hive!

[Starlight's eyes shimmers blue and Chrysalis saw this, realizing that Thorax is here pretending to be Starlight]

Thorax: [whimpers]

Queen Chrysalis: And it seems I don't have far to look, do I...

Thorax: [whimpers]

Discord: Oh no, she realized our plan!

[Chrysalis uses her magic to blast Thorax, removing his Starlight Glimmer disguise]

Queen Chrysalis: Thorax?

[The changelings and metarex growl and hiss angrily at Thorax]

[Thorax looks nervously at Queen Chrysalis and Dark Oak as they glare at him. Then they heard a crunching noise and they turn to see the real Starlight trying to break the throne with a rock with little result. Realizing that she's been spotted, she leaps to avoid getting hit by Chrysalis' magic and hid in a hole in the throne]

Queen Chrysalis: Very clever. And clearly Thorax revealed to you the secret of my throne. I can't have powerful ponies using their abilities against me. Even with your rather embarrassing little rescue attempt, everything has gone according to my plan.

Starlight Glimmer: What plan? Why did you do all this?!

Queen Chrysalis: So I could feed, of course! By replacing the most beloved figures in Equestria, my drones will be able to store all the love meant for them and return it here to me. Everypony will do as I command, and my subjects and I will feed on their love for generations! [maniacal laughter]

Dark Oak: As for me, I only wanted revenge on the hedgehogs who defeared me! [laughs evilly]

[Sonic and Shadow just stare angrily]

[Starlight look behind a rock and see Thorax's wings starting to shimmer brightly. She got a idea and an epiphany of how to use it to her advantage to destroy the throne to get the magic back]

Starlight Glimmer: What if you didn't have to?

Queen Chrysalis: Ridiculous!

[She grab her tail with her mouth and toss her to the ground. Two changelings pin Starlight down to prevent her from moving or getting up]

Queen Chrysalis: The hunger of changelings can never be satisfied!

Starlight Glimmer: Exactly! Thorax left the hive and made a friend.

Spike: Yeah, me.

Sunset Shimmer: Exactly, he shared love, and now he doesn't need to feed.

Trixie Lulamoon: You don't have to live your lives starving all the time!

[The Changelings look at each other, considering her words]

[Chrysalis pull Starlight up to her with her magic]

Queen Chrysalis: You know nothing of the changelings or what it takes to be their queen!

[She toss her over to the wall, slamming her against it]

Queen Chrysalis: I decide what is best for my subjects, not some mewling grub!

Starlight Glimmer: I know what it's like to lead by fear and intimidation! And I know what it's like to want everypony to do what you say! But I was wrong. A real leader doesn't force her subjects to deny who they are! She celebrates what makes them unique and listens when one of them finds a better way!

[The changelings look at each other, beginning to understand Starlight's words]

Dark Oak: Pathetic...

Queen Chrysalis: The only thing Thorax has found is what happens to those who turn their back on other evil animal species and the hive!

[She uses her magic to blast Thorax on the forehead, Two armored changelings stop Starlight from interfering]

Rouge: Yikes!

Starlight Glimmer: No! Stop!

Queen Chrysalis: Just as soon as I drain every last ounce of love from him and show my subjects what a real leader is!

[She starts to feed on Thorax's love from his body]

Sonic: [disgusted] Okay, now that's just wrong.

Thorax: [straining] I can feel the love inside me slipping away...! I can't hold onto it much longer...!

Starlight Glimmer: Then don't! Sharing love is what made you different to begin with! You should share yours with Chrysalis! Give her all of it!

[Thorax summon his energy and unleashes the love he have in him. The force from it makes Chrysalis and Dark Oak fly backwards into the throne. They look up to see the love energy surrounding Thorax and encase him in a magic cocoon. Starlight and the Irelanders stares in awe at the change. As Starlight carefully touches the cocoon, it releases a flash of bright light. As the light fades, Thorax has changed form with orange antlers and bigger body and purple and light green features on him]

Team Sonic: Whoa.

Starlight Glimmer: This is what happens when you give love freely instead of taking it!

[One by one, the changelings share their love with each other. Cracks began to appear on the throne behind Chrysalis and the villains]

Dark Oak: [shocked] This can't be!

[The top of the hive starts to shine with white light and explodes, the spire destroyed. Starlight dispells her magic barrier she used to protect herself, her group, Team Sonic, the Princesses, their allies and Thorax. They look to see the changelings who have changed form and has bright colours like light green, blue and orange]

Amy Rose: Huh, I actually pefer the changelings this way.

Cream: Yeah, they actually look less creepy now.

[The Mane Six then suddenly scream in pain as Chrysalis' mind control spell wears off and they collapse to the ground unconsious]

[Team Sonic, Spike, Starlight, Sunset, Trixie, Shining, Cadance, Discord, Celestia, Luna and Flurry-Heart rush over to the six alicorns]

Sonic: Girls?

Princess Celestia: Twilight?

Discord: Fluttershy?

[One by one, the Mane Six slowly begin to regain consiousness, their eyes back to their normal colors, much to everyone's relieve]
