1
00:00:08,740 --> 00:00:09,620
Oh, good.
2
00:00:09,690 --> 00:00:10,830
We're all here.
3
00:00:10,900 --> 00:00:12,610
So everypony got an urgent
4
00:00:12,690 --> 00:00:14,890
summons to the castle with no explanation?
5
00:00:14,990 --> 00:00:15,610
Yup.
6
00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:18,670
I just love a good mysterious summons.
7
00:00:18,770 --> 00:00:19,840
What's it about?
8
00:00:19,890 --> 00:00:21,390
Do you think it's a surprise party?
9
00:00:22,020 --> 00:00:22,990
Why are we running?
10
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,920
Because something could be terribly wrong!
11
00:00:24,970 --> 00:00:28,340
Somepony turned bad,
another evil creature back for revenge?
12
00:00:28,430 --> 00:00:30,780
Don't you think you're bein' a little paranoid?
13
00:00:30,850 --> 00:00:33,870
Why else would the Princesses
send scrolls in such a hurry?
14
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:34,800
Good point.
15
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,600
They know better than to make us worry!
16
00:00:36,670 --> 00:00:40,260
Plus, I like it when you run so fast,
the walls get all blurry!
17
00:00:42,060 --> 00:00:43,120
Race ya!
18
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,450
Girls.
19
00:00:49,490 --> 00:00:51,230
Thank you so much for coming.
20
00:00:51,370 --> 00:00:51,950
What's wrong?
21
00:00:52,010 --> 00:00:52,860
What can we do?
22
00:00:52,990 --> 00:00:54,050
That's just it.
23
00:00:54,170 --> 00:00:55,160
Nothing's wrong!
24
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,900
Everything's perfect!
25
00:00:57,130 --> 00:01:00,730
Did y'all call us down here
just to tell us that?
26
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,200
With all due respect, majesties,
27
00:01:03,250 --> 00:01:05,440
you might want to save
your urgent summons
28
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,070
for matters that are a bit more...
29
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,530
well, urgent!
30
00:01:10,340 --> 00:01:12,370
Well, there is more to it.
31
00:01:12,460 --> 00:01:17,240
Equestria is enjoying its longest period
of harmony in recent years.
32
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,870
And it's all thanks to you, Twilight.
33
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,790
And your friends of course.
34
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,240
Who, us?
35
00:01:23,310 --> 00:01:24,610
Oh, pshaw.
36
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,580
It's about time you noticed!
37
00:01:26,650 --> 00:01:27,680
Thank you!
38
00:01:27,970 --> 00:01:28,980
Because of your efforts,
39
00:01:29,010 --> 00:01:31,290
there has been less and less for us to do.
40
00:01:31,370 --> 00:01:33,570
So, after much consideration,
41
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:37,610
my sister and I have decided it is time for us...
42
00:01:37,700 --> 00:01:39,080
to retire!
43
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,250
Breaking news!
44
00:01:42,330 --> 00:01:44,060
The royal princesses retiring.
45
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:45,580
I have so many questions!
46
00:01:45,660 --> 00:01:46,750
Who'll take over?
47
00:01:46,830 --> 00:01:48,080
Who'll run Equestria?
48
00:01:48,170 --> 00:01:50,100
Will it be someone tall,
dark and handsome?
49
00:01:50,140 --> 00:01:52,260
Or will it be the Lord of Chaos?
50
00:01:56,500 --> 00:01:57,940
Oh, fine!
51
00:01:57,970 --> 00:01:59,700
Go with the obvious choice.
52
00:02:39,330 --> 00:02:41,270
You're retiring?!
53
00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:43,760
Princesses can retire?
54
00:02:44,020 --> 00:02:45,610
Of course we can.
55
00:02:45,730 --> 00:02:48,380
I for one am looking forward to a little R&R,
56
00:02:48,490 --> 00:02:50,450
maybe a trip to Silver Shoals.
57
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:53,260
And you want me to take your place?
58
00:02:54,460 --> 00:02:57,250
With the help of your friends, of course!
59
00:03:00,630 --> 00:03:03,350
We can't think of anypony more worthy.
60
00:03:04,180 --> 00:03:08,370
Over the years we've watched you grow,
you've faced task after task...
61
00:03:08,410 --> 00:03:09,860
...challenge after challenge...
62
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:13,880
Countless adversities,
yeah, yeah, yeah, we get it...
63
00:03:13,930 --> 00:03:16,060
And you've always prevailed.
64
00:03:16,180 --> 00:03:17,990
Thank you but that doesn't mean that I'm--
65
00:03:18,100 --> 00:03:20,800
that we're ready to do what you do!
66
00:03:20,920 --> 00:03:22,560
Oh of course you are.
67
00:03:22,630 --> 00:03:24,780
I realize this is a lot to take in, but--
68
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:25,290
Nope.
69
00:03:25,580 --> 00:03:26,640
Makes perfect sense.
70
00:03:26,730 --> 00:03:27,890
We're awesome.
71
00:03:27,980 --> 00:03:30,480
Does this mean we get all your powers?!
72
00:03:30,650 --> 00:03:33,060
Ooh ooh, I call dibs on showing up
in everypony's dreams!
73
00:03:33,450 --> 00:03:34,800
You can't be ready to step into
74
00:03:34,860 --> 00:03:36,850
their horseshoes just like that!
75
00:03:36,890 --> 00:03:39,770
Well, if the princesses think it's time to retire,
76
00:03:39,860 --> 00:03:41,200
we're not a bad choice.
77
00:03:41,270 --> 00:03:43,730
We always have Equestria's
best interests at heart.
78
00:03:43,770 --> 00:03:45,120
That's a fair point...
79
00:03:45,220 --> 00:03:46,820
which should be taken into consideration
80
00:03:46,870 --> 00:03:48,380
when we have a round table discussion--
81
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,770
Well I'm in
82
00:03:49,900 --> 00:03:52,710
we'll all need a complete wardrobe update,
83
00:03:52,810 --> 00:03:56,170
and I would love to pick your brain
about mane maintenance
84
00:03:56,260 --> 00:03:57,360
when you have a moment.
85
00:03:57,530 --> 00:03:59,370
As long as we all have each other,
86
00:03:59,420 --> 00:04:01,260
I'm sure we can do it!
87
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,200
Yay!
88
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,570
Protectors of Equestria on three!
89
00:04:04,770 --> 00:04:05,670
One...
90
00:04:05,890 --> 00:04:07,330
two...
91
00:04:11,750 --> 00:04:14,580
If you're all on board, I guess I am too.
92
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:18,120
Protectors of Equestria!
93
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:20,200
It'll be a bit of an adjustment,
94
00:04:20,340 --> 00:04:21,980
but I imagine the transfer of power
95
00:04:22,050 --> 00:04:23,190
will be a lengthy process which will--
96
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:24,920
Actually we just need a few days
97
00:04:24,970 --> 00:04:26,650
to put together a little ceremony.
98
00:04:27,890 --> 00:04:29,170
A few days?!
99
00:04:30,420 --> 00:04:31,970
But that's so soon!
100
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,850
Shouldn't there be some sort
of training programme,
101
00:04:33,900 --> 00:04:36,660
that last weeks, no, months, if not years?!
102
00:04:36,840 --> 00:04:38,640
Everything you've gone through
over the years
103
00:04:38,710 --> 00:04:40,840
has been a training programme.
104
00:04:40,940 --> 00:04:43,370
Okay,
but there's gotta be a guide or a rulebook--
105
00:04:43,430 --> 00:04:44,720
Yes, I have it right here.
106
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:48,230
How to Rule Equestria',
by Nopony Made Pretendsmith.
107
00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:52,060
The friendship journal you wrote yourselves
108
00:04:52,140 --> 00:04:54,550
is a better guide than any we could provide.
109
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,690
We have the utmost confidence in you.
110
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,700
And we hope you have the same in yourself.
111
00:05:06,060 --> 00:05:10,470
Oh, I'm absolutely certain she does.
112
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:14,040
I am not confident about this at all!
113
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:16,180
Well that's what I thought.
114
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,290
I was being sarcastic before.
115
00:05:20,730 --> 00:05:21,750
What
116
00:05:21,820 --> 00:05:23,980
This is all so predictable
117
00:05:24,050 --> 00:05:25,570
Now's the point where you all
118
00:05:25,620 --> 00:05:27,570
tell little Sparkle here that everything
119
00:05:27,610 --> 00:05:30,690
is going to be fine
but she won't believe you, ugh.
120
00:05:30,780 --> 00:05:34,220
I don't need to be here for this.
121
00:05:35,100 --> 00:05:37,180
It's just, I know I said yes,
122
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:38,720
but then they said 'in a few days',
123
00:05:38,810 --> 00:05:40,500
and there's still so much to figure out
124
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,050
It's all happening so fast
125
00:05:43,650 --> 00:05:47,800
I think I need some--
Okay!
126
00:05:48,130 --> 00:05:49,270
I'll feel much better--
127
00:05:49,340 --> 00:05:51,050
...once you make a plan?
128
00:05:52,290 --> 00:05:53,170
Oh wow.
129
00:05:53,220 --> 00:05:53,850
It's like you--
130
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,640
Knew you were going to react this way?
131
00:05:55,700 --> 00:05:56,310
We did.
132
00:05:56,370 --> 00:05:58,530
Classic "Twilight-ing".
133
00:05:58,640 --> 00:05:59,600
Twilight-ing
134
00:05:59,690 --> 00:06:00,370
You...
135
00:06:00,420 --> 00:06:01,970
you made me a verb?
136
00:06:02,210 --> 00:06:05,490
It's not a bad thing,
we just know you have a...
137
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,570
process.
138
00:06:06,700 --> 00:06:10,170
Stage one:
You get big news and you're like "Nooooo!"
139
00:06:10,260 --> 00:06:11,250
but then you pace,
140
00:06:11,290 --> 00:06:13,190
and you chart, you worry...
141
00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:14,180
It's okay.
142
00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:17,450
You go ahead and Twilight,
and we'll be here for you.
143
00:06:17,580 --> 00:06:19,530
You're all acting so calm.
144
00:06:19,700 --> 00:06:21,000
But this is a big deal!
145
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,630
What do we do if something big happens
146
00:06:22,690 --> 00:06:24,810
and the Princesses aren't there to help?!
147
00:06:25,050 --> 00:06:27,100
Um, if you think about it,
148
00:06:27,130 --> 00:06:29,600
they literally almost never help.
149
00:06:31,370 --> 00:06:33,580
And we still always win
150
00:06:33,730 --> 00:06:35,730
Like when Sombra almost
took back the Crystal Empire,
151
00:06:35,780 --> 00:06:37,410
or when Chrysalis attempted to be Cadance,
152
00:06:37,450 --> 00:06:39,650
or when Tirek came back
and absorbed all the magic,
153
00:06:39,700 --> 00:06:41,690
or the other time Chrysalis tried to take over,
154
00:06:41,730 --> 00:06:43,260
or Cozy Glow and the school!
155
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:45,290
Am I missing anything?
156
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:46,530
Pony of Shadows.
157
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:47,670
Starlight when she was evil.
158
00:06:47,730 --> 00:06:49,110
Discord when he was evil.
159
00:06:49,170 --> 00:06:50,400
Do Flim and Flam count?
160
00:06:50,580 --> 00:06:51,410
See?
161
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,390
We've almost always done things
without the Princesses' help!
162
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,860
Which makes sense now,
163
00:06:55,930 --> 00:06:58,680
because it was always
just training for you to take over!
164
00:06:58,760 --> 00:06:59,610
and it worked!
165
00:06:59,670 --> 00:07:00,760
I mean if you think about it,
166
00:07:00,810 --> 00:07:03,720
there hasn't been a single villain
that we couldn't defeat.
167
00:07:03,850 --> 00:07:04,600
Phew!
168
00:07:07,450 --> 00:07:09,180
One day, you'll see
169
00:07:09,340 --> 00:07:11,980
I will defeat Twilight Sparkle and her friends!
170
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,430
And they will pay for stealing my kingdom!
171
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:24,980
Psst, Tirek!
172
00:07:25,190 --> 00:07:27,320
It is Lord Tirek.
173
00:07:27,320 --> 00:07:29,320
What is it now?
174
00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:31,430
I just wanna make sure you can see
175
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:34,080
my best friend rock sculpture from over there.
176
00:08:03,850 --> 00:08:05,120
Lord Tirek!
177
00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:06,860
A Changeling.
178
00:08:07,030 --> 00:08:08,850
See, she gets it.
179
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,510
Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings,
180
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,340
or at least I will be,
181
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:15,530
when I'm restored to my rightful place.
182
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,690
Why did you summon me?
183
00:08:17,770 --> 00:08:18,820
What do you want?!
184
00:08:19,770 --> 00:08:22,330
Oh golly, we didn't bring you!
185
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:25,020
I thought you freed us from Tartarus!
186
00:08:25,170 --> 00:08:26,150
Tartarus?
187
00:08:26,260 --> 00:08:27,740
Whoever pulled you from there
188
00:08:27,770 --> 00:08:30,890
must have been somepony
very powerful indeed.
189
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:41,880
King Sombra?!
190
00:08:41,970 --> 00:08:43,180
You have returned?
191
00:08:43,270 --> 00:08:44,860
Why did you bring us here?
192
00:08:45,010 --> 00:08:46,440
He didn't.
193
00:08:54,460 --> 00:08:56,450
It was I!
194
00:08:57,460 --> 00:08:59,670
You may call me...
195
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,700
Grogar.
196
00:09:03,110 --> 00:09:04,330
The Grogar?
197
00:09:04,390 --> 00:09:06,310
I thought that you were a legend!
198
00:09:06,450 --> 00:09:07,510
I've heard of you.
199
00:09:07,590 --> 00:09:08,450
Who?
200
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,370
I assure you,
I am very real,
201
00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:15,970
and you have all been brought here
as a part of my plan,
202
00:09:16,050 --> 00:09:19,880
to rid Equestria of Twilight Sparkle
203
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:24,620
and her friends once and for all.
204
00:09:30,540 --> 00:09:32,240
I am so sorry,
205
00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:35,220
but the name 'Grovar'
just doesn't ring any bells.
206
00:09:35,290 --> 00:09:36,950
Grogar.
207
00:09:37,330 --> 00:09:38,970
I have been away too long
208
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:41,100
if my name no longer strikes fear
209
00:09:41,170 --> 00:09:43,960
into the heart of one so tiny.
210
00:09:44,690 --> 00:09:47,960
Perhaps a demonstration of power is in order?
211
00:10:01,570 --> 00:10:05,590
Grogar is ancient and extremely powerful.
212
00:10:05,750 --> 00:10:09,190
The land that would become
Equestria was a mere collection
213
00:10:09,220 --> 00:10:12,360
of farms and pastures until he 'declared
214
00:10:12,390 --> 00:10:15,130
himself emperor of all he saw!'.
215
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:19,760
I remember hearing tales
of his tyranny when I was young.
216
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:23,180
I have also heard of the first Emperor
of Equestria,
217
00:10:23,260 --> 00:10:25,730
the 'Father of Monsters'.
218
00:10:25,930 --> 00:10:29,500
I gave life to the foulest of creatures,
219
00:10:29,570 --> 00:10:31,500
and allowed them to run wild,
220
00:10:31,610 --> 00:10:35,300
taking what they wanted
and destroying the rest.
221
00:10:35,410 --> 00:10:42,300
My reign was a fearsome epoch
of darkness in Equestria.
222
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:46,860
Until Gusty the Great rose up
and banished you.
223
00:10:46,940 --> 00:10:50,290
That fool believed taking
my bell would defeat me.
224
00:10:50,330 --> 00:10:53,530
But she only weakened me temporarily.
225
00:10:53,670 --> 00:10:57,140
Um, Tirek is really old,
226
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,450
no offense you look great,
227
00:10:58,540 --> 00:11:00,600
but if he knew about you
when he was young,
228
00:11:00,680 --> 00:11:03,680
we have super different ideas
about what 'temporarily' means.
229
00:11:03,740 --> 00:11:04,940
Silence!
230
00:11:05,780 --> 00:11:08,020
I've spent millenia gathering power,
231
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:11,440
biding my time,
waiting for the perfect opportunity
232
00:11:11,490 --> 00:11:13,780
to seize control of Equestria.
233
00:11:13,970 --> 00:11:15,660
And watching all of you
234
00:11:15,820 --> 00:11:17,810
I've seen each of your humiliating
235
00:11:17,850 --> 00:11:21,880
defeats at the hooves of six puny ponies.
236
00:11:22,780 --> 00:11:25,640
And do you know why
they've always bested you?
237
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,750
Because they cheat!
238
00:11:27,910 --> 00:11:31,910
Because they are annoyingly lucky.
239
00:11:32,540 --> 00:11:34,360
I'm just a kid, so...
240
00:11:34,540 --> 00:11:37,670
It is because they work together!
241
00:11:37,780 --> 00:11:40,790
Where one is weak,
another is strong,
242
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,800
and thus unified,
they are a formidable force!
243
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,950
But we shall use their own strategy
to defeat them.
244
00:11:49,090 --> 00:11:50,950
What are you suggesting?
245
00:11:51,020 --> 00:11:53,170
I suggest nothing.
246
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:59,660
I demand that you join me and together,
Equestria will be ours!
247
00:11:59,890 --> 00:12:01,780
I don't do 'ours'
248
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,210
I only do mine.
249
00:12:05,180 --> 00:12:08,840
I will take back the Crystal Empire
on my own,
250
00:12:08,940 --> 00:12:12,780
and I will destroy
any pony who gets in my way!
251
00:12:13,190 --> 00:12:15,350
Such confidence.
252
00:12:15,690 --> 00:12:16,630
Go!
253
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,370
Try to take back your kingdom!
254
00:12:19,460 --> 00:12:21,760
I shall send you there myself!
255
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,210
If you prevail, you may keep it,
256
00:12:24,300 --> 00:12:28,490
but when you fail,
you will submit to me!
257
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:31,570
And if I refuse this 'deal'?
258
00:12:31,690 --> 00:12:33,930
Then I shall return you to the darkness
259
00:12:33,990 --> 00:12:35,860
from which you were summoned.
260
00:12:36,020 --> 00:12:36,700
Pah!
261
00:12:36,760 --> 00:12:40,780
But this is a waste of time,
as I will crush those who defy me.
262
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,950
I will defeat all who get in my way, I--
263
00:12:45,110 --> 00:12:49,500
I advise the rest of you
to prepare to work together!
264
00:12:49,900 --> 00:12:52,610
Well, working together sounds an awful lot
265
00:12:52,690 --> 00:12:54,700
like making friends, so...
266
00:12:54,810 --> 00:12:58,080
you two are in luck,
because I know all about that!
267
00:13:01,430 --> 00:13:02,460
Twi!
268
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:03,770
You in here?
269
00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:05,120
With the school closed for the summer,
270
00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:07,410
I didn't think anypony would be here--
271
00:13:07,510 --> 00:13:09,110
So much to do not enough time!
272
00:13:09,170 --> 00:13:09,520
No!
273
00:13:09,580 --> 00:13:10,140
I did that!
274
00:13:10,210 --> 00:13:11,570
Wait, no, I didn't!
275
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:13,250
Uggggh, not enough time!
276
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,080
Help, she's spiraling!
277
00:13:15,140 --> 00:13:16,930
We're at the "my plan needs a plan",
278
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,440
stage of a total Twilight meltdown!
279
00:13:19,750 --> 00:13:21,300
Oh, got it.
280
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:23,340
Twilight?
281
00:13:23,460 --> 00:13:25,620
Did I write down 'eliminate redundant lists'
282
00:13:25,750 --> 00:13:29,140
on my School of Friendship to-do list
or my personal to-do list?
283
00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,530
Twilight!
284
00:13:30,690 --> 00:13:32,440
Starlight, oh good, you're here!
285
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:33,490
I need to talk to you.
286
00:13:33,590 --> 00:13:34,960
Okay...
287
00:13:35,050 --> 00:13:38,010
Hang on, I had 'talk to Starlight'
written down on one of these...
288
00:13:38,100 --> 00:13:39,490
Just let me find it
so I can cross it off!
289
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,360
Wow, you are Twilighting hard.
290
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,860
You say 'Twilighting' too?
291
00:13:44,930 --> 00:13:47,170
Well excuse me!
292
00:13:47,270 --> 00:13:50,170
This is the first time I've ever been
asked to run a whole kingdom!
293
00:13:50,390 --> 00:13:52,690
Uh, you're right, you're right, heh...
294
00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:55,110
so, what did you want to talk to me about?
295
00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:56,120
Ah, here it is.
296
00:13:56,170 --> 00:13:57,130
I wrote it down.
297
00:13:57,180 --> 00:13:59,170
Starlight you have blossomed
into one of the strongest,
298
00:13:59,250 --> 00:14:00,530
smartest, most caring ponies I know
299
00:14:00,580 --> 00:14:01,810
and I can't think of anypony better
300
00:14:01,900 --> 00:14:02,930
to leave in charge of my castle
301
00:14:02,970 --> 00:14:04,720
and the School of Friendship ,
so what do you think?
302
00:14:04,980 --> 00:14:05,720
What?!
303
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:09,690
You want me to take care
of the castle and the run the school?!
304
00:14:09,900 --> 00:14:10,570
Yes?
305
00:14:10,740 --> 00:14:12,210
Uhhh, I can't!
306
00:14:12,300 --> 00:14:13,250
I'm not ready!
307
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:16,070
Remember what happened
the last time you left me in charge?
308
00:14:16,220 --> 00:14:18,720
And now you want me
to do it permanently?
309
00:14:18,790 --> 00:14:20,010
What if I don't do the right things?!
310
00:14:21,050 --> 00:14:21,580
What if--
311
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,450
Starlight, get a hold of yourself.
312
00:14:23,610 --> 00:14:26,090
You've risen to every challenge you
could have faced.
313
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,230
You can do anything
you put your mind to!
314
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:30,040
You've got this.
315
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:33,140
And so do you.
316
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:34,700
See what I did there?
317
00:14:34,770 --> 00:14:37,290
You just said everything you need to hear.
318
00:14:37,540 --> 00:14:39,370
Ha ha ha, nice try,
319
00:14:39,450 --> 00:14:41,100
but running a school and running a country
320
00:14:41,140 --> 00:14:42,340
are two very different things.
321
00:14:42,450 --> 00:14:43,960
Now if you don't mind I have seven thousand,
322
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,110
four hundred and thirty two things
323
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:47,760
to take care of before I become
the new ruler of Equestria!
324
00:14:49,820 --> 00:14:52,300
It was a valiant effort.
325
00:15:27,110 --> 00:15:29,500
The guard says Sombra's
breached the castle!
326
00:15:29,610 --> 00:15:30,800
Hurry, Twilight!
327
00:15:30,900 --> 00:15:32,260
We need you!
328
00:15:33,770 --> 00:15:35,420
Do you have Flurry Heart?
329
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:37,000
I thought you had her.
330
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:42,070
Mama!
331
00:15:43,750 --> 00:15:45,610
You won't get away with this!
332
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,570
Oh, but I already have.
333
00:15:54,530 --> 00:15:57,350
With the Crystal Heart
now in my possession,
334
00:15:57,500 --> 00:16:02,410
there is nothing to stop me
from ruling the Crystal Empire!
335
00:16:04,070 --> 00:16:06,870
Kneel before Sombra.
336
00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:13,290
Long live the king.
337
00:16:19,790 --> 00:16:21,340
Thanks for coming so quickly--
338
00:16:21,490 --> 00:16:22,260
Sure thing.
339
00:16:22,390 --> 00:16:24,630
But if you're going to be the ruler of Equestria.
340
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,530
You may want to work on your penmanship.
341
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:30,560
This looks like it says "Cadence
sent an emergency message.
342
00:16:30,690 --> 00:16:34,400
Sombra is back,
and he's taking over the Crystal Empire."
343
00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,420
That's exactly what it says!
344
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:38,050
But- but how is that possible?!
345
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:41,160
I thought the Crystal Heart
had dispelled him into the aether!
346
00:16:41,250 --> 00:16:42,420
I have no idea!
347
00:16:42,530 --> 00:16:46,130
But he's back,
and it's up to us to save the Empire and my family!
348
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:48,740
Shouldn't somepony
tell Celestia and Luna?
349
00:16:48,830 --> 00:16:50,500
Ooh, good point!
350
00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:55,120
One of us should probably loop
in the real rulers of Equestria.
351
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:56,100
No.
352
00:16:56,220 --> 00:16:58,040
If we're going to run Equestria.
353
00:16:58,100 --> 00:17:00,690
We'll need to handle things like this,
on our own.
354
00:17:00,740 --> 00:17:03,170
Oh, Twilight!
355
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:05,680
Could this mean that you finally
have the confidence
356
00:17:05,750 --> 00:17:10,200
to ascend to the throne
like the Princesses believe you can?
357
00:17:10,790 --> 00:17:11,960
Maybe?
358
00:17:12,030 --> 00:17:15,090
Unless you consider
taking care of Sombra for us?
359
00:17:16,540 --> 00:17:18,040
Oh nononono!
360
00:17:18,110 --> 00:17:19,570
You're absolutely right,
you need to learn
361
00:17:19,630 --> 00:17:21,920
how to deal with these things
on your own.
362
00:17:22,070 --> 00:17:23,550
Ta-ta!
363
00:17:24,050 --> 00:17:26,600
Handlin' things on our own
is all well and good,
364
00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:29,470
but last time we defeated Sombra
with the Crystal Heart.
365
00:17:29,550 --> 00:17:30,900
What if he has it already?
366
00:17:31,010 --> 00:17:32,420
How're we gonna stop him?
367
00:17:40,130 --> 00:17:41,880
With the Elements of Harmony!
368
00:17:42,030 --> 00:17:45,430
With those we can defeat anypony,
even Sombra!
369
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,940
Ah nonono, you didn't need the Elements
370
00:17:48,020 --> 00:17:49,670
last time you defeated Sombra,
371
00:17:49,740 --> 00:17:52,320
and I'm not sure that using them still counts
372
00:17:52,370 --> 00:17:54,630
as doing things "on your own".
373
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,640
My family is in danger.
374
00:17:56,750 --> 00:17:59,080
I'm not taking any chances.
375
00:17:59,170 --> 00:18:00,790
She's got a point.
376
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:02,550
Ugh, fine.
377
00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:05,140
What's his problem?
378
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,260
Starlight, can you stay here
and take care of the school?
379
00:18:08,350 --> 00:18:09,760
I've got you covered.
380
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,790
It's cute that you think
that'll do anything.
381
00:18:33,910 --> 00:18:36,760
It might not, but they will!
382
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:39,090
Cavalry's here!
383
00:18:41,330 --> 00:18:43,090
How can I be surprised,
384
00:18:43,180 --> 00:18:46,920
when I'm waiting to show
all of you your greatest fear?
385
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:06,160
Oh Twilight.
386
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:07,900
How disappointing.
387
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:12,130
Equestria was in your care,
and you let it be destroyed!
388
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,760
You should all surrender!
389
00:19:15,870 --> 00:19:18,850
Nothing can defeat your own fears!
390
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:26,270
We didn't need to defeat them.
391
00:19:26,340 --> 00:19:29,520
We just needed to face them
long enough to distract you!
392
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,270
Nooooo!
393
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,920
It's cute that you think
that'll do anything.
394
00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:56,080
You may have won the battle,
but I shall win the war!
395
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,030
Yeah, woohoohoo!
396
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:11,750
We totally just wiped
the castle with that guy!
397
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:18,370
Thanks, Twily!
398
00:20:19,190 --> 00:20:20,390
Well, that was fun!
399
00:20:20,530 --> 00:20:21,990
And easy.
400
00:20:22,190 --> 00:20:25,200
As magical battles go,
that was a cakewalk.
401
00:20:25,310 --> 00:20:27,540
Mmm... cakewalk...
402
00:20:30,510 --> 00:20:32,380
We did handle this pretty well.
403
00:20:32,510 --> 00:20:33,870
All on our own.
404
00:20:34,020 --> 00:20:35,120
Does this mean...?
405
00:20:35,250 --> 00:20:37,810
I still don't feel like
I'm one hundred percent ready,
406
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,120
but will I ever?
407
00:20:39,260 --> 00:20:40,280
Knowing you?
408
00:20:40,420 --> 00:20:41,060
Nope.
409
00:20:42,070 --> 00:20:44,900
I have you guys,
and we have the Elements,
410
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:47,490
and together, we've never failed.
411
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:48,520
We'll be okay.
412
00:20:57,270 --> 00:21:00,100
Once again, Equestria is safe.
413
00:21:00,450 --> 00:21:02,380
What should we do to celebrate?
414
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,440
I vote for a cakewalk!
415
00:21:14,790 --> 00:21:15,990
What's goin' on?
416
00:21:16,310 --> 00:21:17,680
I don't know!
