needs me to smile and wave.
184
00:10:01,190 --> 00:10:02,158
Where are you going?
185
00:10:02,878 --> 00:10:04,606
To the Castle of
the Two Sisters.
186
00:10:04,936 --> 00:10:06,606
I'm not really
needed anywhere else.
187
00:10:06,911 --> 00:10:08,801
Might as well catch up
on some of my reading.
188
00:10:10,961 --> 00:10:12,066
You want some company?
189
00:10:13,250 --> 00:10:15,818
Applejack: It has been a while
since we've visited the castle.
190
00:10:16,271 --> 00:10:17,198
Might be fun.
191
00:10:17,697 --> 00:10:19,925
Maybe I could use a
little company right now.
192
00:10:22,792 --> 00:10:24,911
Rainbow Dash: (sigh) I
still can't believe
193
00:10:24,926 --> 00:10:26,825
we had to give
back the Elements.
194
00:10:27,207 --> 00:10:30,294
It had to be done or the Tree of
Harmony wouldn't have survived.
195
00:10:30,632 --> 00:10:32,046
But Twilight was right.
196
00:10:32,216 --> 00:10:35,906
Even without the Elements, our
friendship is as strong as ever.
197
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,821
I just hope another
"friend" of ours
198
00:10:38,835 --> 00:10:41,010
never makes us sorry we
had to give them up.
199
00:10:41,303 --> 00:10:42,173
Discord: Oh ho!
200
00:10:42,181 --> 00:10:44,292
You're talking
about me, I presume?
201
00:10:45,281 --> 00:10:46,501
How'd you guess?
202
00:10:46,680 --> 00:10:48,257

What are you even
doing here, Discord?
205

Oh! Just a bit of light
reading before I head off
206
00:10:55,233 --> 00:10:57,531
on my extremely
important mission.
207
00:10:57,711 --> 00:10:59,418
I suppose you all know
that I've been tapped
208
00:10:59,484 --> 00:11:01,629
to capture a
certain escapee.
209
00:11:02,866 --> 00:11:03,914
Big deal.
210
00:11:04,208 --> 00:11:06,456
You're right, Spike,
it is a "big deal".
211
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:09,873
(pop)
212
00:11:11,479 --> 00:11:14,296
Seems I possess a magic that
gives me quite an important role
213
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:15,178
in Equestria.
214
00:11:15,414 --> 00:11:18,327
Maybe they should make
me an Alicorn Princess.
215
00:11:19,147 --> 00:11:20,312
(cheering crowd)
216
00:11:20,456 --> 00:11:22,712

In your dreams.
218
00:11:27,094 --> 00:11:29,090
Oh, I never dream
of such things.
219
00:11:29,914 --> 00:11:31,377
Ask Princess Luna.
220
00:11:31,777 --> 00:11:33,949
Don't you have a creepy
magic-stealing villain
221
00:11:33,953 --> 00:11:34,926
to track down?
222
00:11:35,164 --> 00:11:36,764
Yes, yes, yes, of course.
223
00:11:37,982 --> 00:11:40,700
It's just that I couldn't help
but notice that Twilight
224
00:11:40,817 --> 00:11:43,555
hasn't yet opened this
little chest of hers.
225
00:11:45,344 --> 00:11:46,913
It got me thinking.
226
00:11:47,180 --> 00:11:49,769
What if what's locked inside is
something that could help her
227
00:11:49,836 --> 00:11:51,531
prove her royal worth?
228
00:11:51,736 --> 00:11:54,655
I only bring it up because she
said that she'd been feeling
229
00:11:54,663 --> 00:11:57,880
like her role as a princess
doesn't equate to much.
230
00:12:00,105 --> 00:12:00,963
Wait a minute!
231
00:12:01,151 --> 00:12:03,043
How do you know how
she was feeling?
232
00:12:03,309 --> 00:12:04,306
Oh, my.
233
00:12:04,343 --> 00:12:06,400
Is eavesdropping not the way
you're supposed to find out
234
00:12:06,411 --> 00:12:08,206
what your best pals are up to?
235
00:12:08,312 --> 00:12:09,642
Woe is me.
236
00:12:09,863 --> 00:12:13,775
Will I ever learn the intricate
nuances of being a good friend?
237
00:12:16,895 --> 00:12:17,389
Ahem!
238
00:12:17,438 --> 00:12:20,741
Well, in any case, I suppose
now is as good a time as any
239
00:12:20,757 --> 00:12:22,544
for me to make my exit.
240
00:12:24,448 --> 00:12:25,787

Oopsey doopsey,
242
00:12:28,314 --> 00:12:32,472
I almost left with the little
journal you've all been keeping.
243
00:12:32,833 --> 00:12:34,407
What a fascinating read.
244
00:12:34,618 --> 00:12:37,328
Haven't you girls
just learned so much?
245
00:12:37,576 --> 00:12:39,826
I've bookmarked a few of the
more interesting passages.
246
00:12:39,838 --> 00:12:41,884
You really should take a look.
247
00:12:43,151 --> 00:12:45,484
We're still on for tea later

248
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:47,291

Sometimes I think the "reformed"
Discord is more obnoxious
252
00:12:57,904 --> 00:13:00,427
than the "before he
was reformed" Discord.
253
00:13:00,669 --> 00:13:01,635
Indeed.

right, couldn't he?

What if there is something
important in that chest?

There's only one
way to find out.

good friend after all.
359
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:26,425
I don't see anything on them
that would give us a clue
360
00:18:26,433 --> 00:18:28,300
as to where the keys might be.
361
00:18:28,561 --> 00:18:31,069
They're just ordinary,
everyday objects.
362
00:18:31,233 --> 00:18:32,610
Come on, Boneless!
363
00:18:32,745 --> 00:18:34,140
Give us that key!
364
00:18:35,065 --> 00:18:36,733
I don't think that's
going to work.
365
00:18:38,110 --> 00:18:39,373
(whoosh)
366
00:18:39,385 --> 00:18:40,156

370
00:19:05,051 --> 00:19:06,439
There's still one key missing.
371
00:19:07,004 --> 00:19:09,180
The key that represents
the Element of Magic.
372
00:19:09,664 --> 00:19:10,602
My Element.
373
00:19:11,096 --> 00:19:13,586
Oh, but I'm sure that if
we've gotten our keys,
374
00:19:13,642 --> 00:19:15,285
you have too, Twilight.
375
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,950
Think, Twilight! When have you
completed a difficult magical
376
00:19:18,963 --> 00:19:22,821
task and in doing so encouraged
another pony to do the same?
377
00:19:23,049 --> 00:19:23,855
I haven't.
378
00:19:24,138 --> 00:19:26,296
If I had, I would have written
about it in the Journal.
379
00:19:27,055 --> 00:19:29,935
Don't worry, Twilight, I'm sure
you'll get your key eventually.

What's it say?
382
00:19:37,713 --> 00:19:39,758
That I'm needed in
Canterlot at once.

384
00:19:45,235 --> 00:19:46,893
I came as quickly as I could.
385
00:19:47,045 --> 00:19:47,962
Is something wrong?
386
00:19:48,128 --> 00:19:48,909
Is it Tirek?
387
00:19:49,307 --> 00:19:51,869
I am afraid I put too
much trust in Discord
388
00:19:52,062 --> 00:19:54,337
and the effect that friendship
would have upon him.
389
00:19:58,392 --> 00:20:00,665
Discord has betrayed
the ponies of Equestria
390
00:20:00,961 --> 00:20:02,690
and joined forces with Tirek.
391
00:20:03,820 --> 00:20:05,957

How could he do this?
394
00:20:21,615 --> 00:20:23,746
I thought our friendship
meant something to him.
395
00:20:24,007 --> 00:20:25,600
I thought he had changed.
396
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,745
Tirek has stolen enough magic
that he now has the strength
397
00:20:28,788 --> 00:20:30,165
to steal flight as well.
398
00:20:34,437 --> 00:20:36,165
Without Pegasi to
control the weather,
399
00:20:36,515 --> 00:20:38,431
there will be no
rain in Equestria.
400
00:20:39,923 --> 00:20:42,269
There is word he has gone
after earth ponies as well.
401
00:20:45,695 --> 00:20:46,753
Without their strength,
402
00:20:46,815 --> 00:20:48,679
they will not be able
to tend the land.
403
00:20:51,912 --> 00:20:54,423
Ponies will no longer be
in control of their world.
404
00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:57,192
That power will
belong solely to Tirek.
405
00:20:57,358 --> 00:21:00,626
There is no doubt that Tirek
is after alicorn magic.
406
00:21:00,985 --> 00:21:02,526
With Discord by his side,
407
00:21:02,741 --> 00:21:05,159
we will not be able to
stop him from taking it.
408
00:21:05,469 --> 00:21:06,997
Once it is in his possession,
409
00:21:07,342 --> 00:21:10,866
his power will know no bounds
and all hope will be lost.
410
00:21:11,527 --> 00:21:13,596
But there is one solution.
411
00:21:15,137 --> 00:21:17,539
It is only by making
this sacrifice
412
00:21:17,658 --> 00:21:20,723
that Equestria and the lands
beyond it might be saved.
413
00:21:22,372 --> 00:21:24,821
We must rid ourselves
of our magic
414
00:21:24,983 --> 00:21:27,685
before Tirek has the chance
to steal it from us.
