1
00:00:02,133 --> 00:00:05,839
Starswirl: The best elements
within us can spread light
2
00:00:05,941 --> 00:00:09,709
and virtue and I know ponies
who represent them all:
3
00:00:10,211 --> 00:00:17,083
strength, bravery, healing,
beauty, hope and sorcery.
4
00:00:17,885 --> 00:00:21,687
Myself and these Pillars of
Equestria were gathered together
5
00:00:21,789 --> 00:00:24,924
by another to maintain
and share the light
6
00:00:25,026 --> 00:00:27,260
of these powerful ideals.
7
00:00:27,562 --> 00:00:31,564
But we soon came to believe the
pony who brought us together,
8
00:00:31,766 --> 00:00:34,468
only wanted that
power for himself.
9
00:00:35,770 --> 00:00:39,138
Cast out and alone,
this power-mad pony
10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,275
turned to darkness to
satisfy his thirst.
11
00:00:43,377 --> 00:00:46,045
Transformed into
a Pony of Shadows,
12
00:00:46,147 --> 00:00:50,583
he returned for revenge, to
extinguish the Pillars' light
13
00:00:50,785 --> 00:00:53,253
and rob the world of hope.
14
00:00:53,555 --> 00:00:58,124
To stop him, the Pillars and I
must make a grave sacrifice.
15
00:00:58,926 --> 00:01:03,129
But we shall leave behind a
seed in hopes that one day
16
00:01:03,231 --> 00:01:07,166
it will grow into a force to
stand against the darkness
17
00:01:07,268 --> 00:01:08,468
for all time.
18
00:01:08,770 --> 00:01:14,240
We must now face the fiend
with the only plan we have.
19
00:01:14,642 --> 00:01:17,043
"I only hope it will be enough."
20
00:01:17,845 --> 00:01:19,178
That's the last entry.
21
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:22,882
And maybe Starswirl's final
words before he vanished!
22
00:02:02,455 --> 00:02:05,257
I've always wondered
what happened to Starswirl.
23
00:02:05,959 --> 00:02:08,627
This is quite a
discovery, Sunburst.
24
00:02:09,429 --> 00:02:10,596
So it's genuine?
25
00:02:10,698 --> 00:02:12,998
You can verify that this
journal really belonged
26
00:02:13,100 --> 00:02:14,499
to Starswirl the Bearded!?
27
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:15,667
Indeed.
28
00:02:15,769 --> 00:02:17,536
From the looks of it,
the last thing he wrote
29
00:02:17,638 --> 00:02:19,839
before facing the
Pony of Shadows.
30
00:02:20,741 --> 00:02:25,177
Uh, so, the Pony of
Shadows was really real?
31
00:02:25,679 --> 00:02:27,046
It appears so.
32
00:02:27,248 --> 00:02:30,015
We never met the other
Pillars and we were too young
33
00:02:30,117 --> 00:02:32,184
to understand the
danger they faced.
34
00:02:32,286 --> 00:02:33,719
Hold on a second now!
35
00:02:33,921 --> 00:02:36,688
All those legendary
ponies were real too?
36
00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:39,891
And they went off with Starswirl
to face the Pony of Shadows
37
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:42,794
and then none of them were
ever heard from again?
38
00:02:43,196 --> 00:02:45,798
Ah-ha, yeah. Weren't
you listening?
39
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:48,467
But what happened
to them all?
40
00:02:48,569 --> 00:02:50,035
They must have
defeated the villain,
41
00:02:50,137 --> 00:02:52,504
since Equestria's still
full of light and hope.
42
00:02:52,806 --> 00:02:55,140
But how? And where
did they go?
43
00:02:55,442 --> 00:02:57,543
My Olde Ponish
is a bit rusty,
44
00:02:57,845 --> 00:03:00,245
but I wonder if the answers
can be found somewhere
45
00:03:00,347 --> 00:03:02,247
within the pages
of this book.
46
00:03:02,649 --> 00:03:06,117
Well, I just happen to be
an expert in Olde Ponish.
47
00:03:06,219 --> 00:03:08,820
I mean, I've practically
memorized every ancient text
48
00:03:08,922 --> 00:03:10,655
about Starswirl there is.
49
00:03:10,957 --> 00:03:12,725
Seriously. All
of them.
50
00:03:13,227 --> 00:03:15,627
We have fond memories
of our old teacher.
51
00:03:15,729 --> 00:03:17,662
If you could discover
what happened to him,
52
00:03:17,864 --> 00:03:19,397
we would be most grateful.
53
00:03:20,967 --> 00:03:23,835
Solving a thousands-year-old
mystery could take forever!
54
00:03:24,037 --> 00:03:28,907
Think of the research, the
re-reading, the re-re-reading.
55
00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:32,812
You might find
you need help.
56
00:03:33,614 --> 00:03:37,115
Luckily, she's got a whole
bushel of helpers right here.
57
00:03:37,417 --> 00:03:38,150
Totally!
58
00:03:38,452 --> 00:03:42,654
Uh, how long will all this
research take, exactly?
59
00:03:43,156 --> 00:03:44,856
Let's get this
back to my library.
60
00:03:44,958 --> 00:03:47,325
I'm sure we'll figure out
what happened in no time.
61
00:03:55,801 --> 00:03:57,535
Figure it out yet, Twilight?
62
00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:01,073
Wha-WHAT?
63
00:04:01,575 --> 00:04:02,774
What did you figure out?
64
00:04:03,176 --> 00:04:04,476
[gasp] You figured something out!?
65
00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:06,879
What is it?
66
00:04:07,381 --> 00:04:08,480
[sigh] Nothing.
67
00:04:08,682 --> 00:04:11,583
I mean, Starswirl was
a genius, obviously,
68
00:04:11,785 --> 00:04:13,151
but forget Olde Ponish.
69
00:04:13,253 --> 00:04:14,686
There's parts where
his hornwriting
70
00:04:14,788 --> 00:04:16,321
is like another language!
71
00:04:16,523 --> 00:04:17,322
Agh!
72
00:04:17,724 --> 00:04:21,693
[groan] Twilight, we've been
studyin' and referencin'
73
00:04:21,795 --> 00:04:25,764
and cross referencing for
three days straight now.
74
00:04:26,066 --> 00:04:28,800
Ugh. I haven't spent
this much time reading
75
00:04:28,902 --> 00:04:31,403
since the last Daring
Do book came out.
76
00:04:31,605 --> 00:04:33,472
Perhaps it is time
to take a break.
77
00:04:33,574 --> 00:04:36,508
This mystery is over a
thousand years old, after all.
78
00:04:36,610 --> 00:04:38,944
Another day or two
won't make a difference!
79
00:04:39,346 --> 00:04:40,479
Two days!?
80
00:04:40,581 --> 00:04:42,046
I don't want to
waste two seconds.
81
00:04:44,151 --> 00:04:45,316
I'm close to an answer.
82
00:04:45,418 --> 00:04:46,251
I can feel it.
83
00:04:46,453 --> 00:04:51,056
"Hearg sylfum se
Ponhenge," What's that?
84
00:04:51,458 --> 00:04:53,191
The Temple of Ponhenge?
85
00:04:53,393 --> 00:04:54,493
You can read that!?
86
00:04:54,795 --> 00:04:56,528
The hornwriting's
pretty sloppy,
87
00:04:56,630 --> 00:04:58,464
but it's nowhere
near as bad as mine.
88
00:04:58,966 --> 00:05:03,636
"Toward dol grimlic
of fola firgenbeorg?"
89
00:05:04,538 --> 00:05:07,239
At the base of Foal Mountain...
90
00:05:07,841 --> 00:05:10,041
"User endemest scield... "
91
00:05:10,343 --> 00:05:12,710
[gasp] Our last stand.
92
00:05:12,956 --> 00:05:14,356
Spike: [yawn]
93
00:05:15,081 --> 00:05:18,650
Well, that sure sounds
like a clue to me.
94
00:05:29,863 --> 00:05:30,662
This is it.
95
00:05:30,764 --> 00:05:31,663
Ponhenge.
96
00:05:32,265 --> 00:05:33,531
I can't believe it.
97
00:05:37,437 --> 00:05:40,739
I've never seen magical
runes like these before.
98
00:05:40,941 --> 00:05:41,673
Have you?
99
00:05:41,975 --> 00:05:42,574
Uh uh.
100
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:50,014
I don't think anypony's seen
any of this for a long time.
101
00:05:50,717 --> 00:05:52,251
[struggle] Woah!
102
00:05:54,387 --> 00:05:57,522
It'd take a whole team of ponies
to clear away all this brush.
103
00:05:59,525 --> 00:06:01,893
Even then, I'm not
sure we'd find out
104
00:06:01,995 --> 00:06:04,430
what happened here a
thousand years ago.
105
00:06:05,332 --> 00:06:07,099
[sigh] You're right.
106
00:06:07,601 --> 00:06:09,468
I suppose it was a long shot.
107
00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:10,736
Cheer up, Twilight.
108
00:06:10,838 --> 00:06:13,372
Finding a whole set of ancient
ruins is pretty impressive.
109
00:06:14,274 --> 00:06:16,008
Maybe you could
write a paper on it!
110
00:06:16,510 --> 00:06:18,910
I guess I hoped we'd get here
and the mystery would just
111
00:06:19,012 --> 00:06:20,611
magically be explained.
112
00:06:23,615 --> 00:06:25,049
Uh, Twilight?
113
00:06:33,626 --> 00:06:34,559
Starswirl..?
114
00:06:34,961 --> 00:06:37,162
I-- I've wanted to
meet you my whole life!
115
00:06:37,364 --> 00:06:39,130
I can't believe
you're here!
116
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:43,902
I don't think
he is here.
117
00:06:44,504 --> 00:06:46,304
I don't think any
of them are.
118
00:07:02,022 --> 00:07:05,224
You summon me at your
peril, Starswirl.
119
00:07:05,526 --> 00:07:09,928
Once I defeat all of you, this
realm will embrace the darkness
120
00:07:10,130 --> 00:07:12,363
as I did so long ago.
121
00:07:23,410 --> 00:07:26,745
Drawing me here will
only make me stronger.
122
00:07:26,847 --> 00:07:29,247
You will never defeat me!
123
00:07:29,349 --> 00:07:31,950
We did not come
here to defeat you.
124
00:07:43,797 --> 00:07:45,063
What are you doing?
125
00:07:45,665 --> 00:07:48,366
We came to contain you.
126
00:07:50,202 --> 00:07:52,904
Aaaaahhh!
127
00:08:03,749 --> 00:08:06,784
Well, you did ask for
a magical explanation!
128
00:08:12,993 --> 00:08:15,661
Uh, what just happened?
129
00:08:16,363 --> 00:08:18,797
It looked like
Starswirl cast a spell
130
00:08:18,899 --> 00:08:20,899
that banished the
Pony of Shadows.
131
00:08:21,201 --> 00:08:23,869
Of course! Powerful
magic like that
132
00:08:23,971 --> 00:08:25,771
would leave an impression
on this place.
133
00:08:26,073 --> 00:08:29,040
Bringing the book back here
let us see what happened.
134
00:08:29,342 --> 00:08:30,476
Which was what?
135
00:08:30,978 --> 00:08:33,879
Starswirl and the rest of the
Pillars sacrificed themselves
136
00:08:33,981 --> 00:08:35,447
to save Equestria.
137
00:08:37,450 --> 00:08:40,652
It's amazing to think one of the
greatest mysteries of Equestria
138
00:08:40,754 --> 00:08:43,489
was solved with a musty old
book from an antique shop.
139
00:08:43,991 --> 00:08:46,124
But I wouldn't say
the mystery's solved.
140
00:08:46,226 --> 00:08:49,060
Starswirl's spell was one of the
most powerful feats of magic
141
00:08:49,162 --> 00:08:50,629
in all of history.
142
00:08:50,831 --> 00:08:53,932
It'll take years of study
before we fully understand it.
143
00:08:54,034 --> 00:08:56,401
I think I understand
Starswirl's spell!
144
00:08:58,771 --> 00:09:01,139
I know I've finished one of
Starswirl's spells before
145
00:09:01,341 --> 00:09:03,708
but this one was on a
whole different level!
146
00:09:03,810 --> 00:09:05,577
Was it an explosion
of magical feedback?
147
00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:06,478
An evocation?
148
00:09:06,580 --> 00:09:07,678
A kind of incantation?
149
00:09:07,780 --> 00:09:10,115
It's Starswirl, so the
possibilities are endless!
150
00:09:10,817 --> 00:09:12,417
And once Starlight set
me on the right track
151
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:13,819
with his crazy hornwriting--
152
00:09:13,921 --> 00:09:15,554
[snigger] I mean, he was a genius,
153
00:09:15,656 --> 00:09:17,522
so I guess we can forgive
a little messiness --
154
00:09:17,724 --> 00:09:20,492
I went through the journal
again and it's amazing!
155
00:09:21,094 --> 00:09:24,763
Twilight, darling, we
understand you're excited,
156
00:09:24,965 --> 00:09:26,231
but that's all we understand.
157
00:09:26,733 --> 00:09:28,867
What exactly is so amazing?
158
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:31,002
Only how Starswirl
and the other Pillars
159
00:09:31,104 --> 00:09:33,204
sent the Pony of
Shadows to limbo!
160
00:09:33,506 --> 00:09:34,873
They did what now?
161
00:09:38,344 --> 00:09:41,012
They used their magic to
open a portal between worlds,
162
00:09:41,114 --> 00:09:43,948
to limbo and pulled the
Pony of Shadows inside.
163
00:09:44,885 --> 00:09:46,518
Darling, your diorama!
164
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:47,752
I made more.
165
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,757
Starswirl thought the only way
to trap the Pony of Shadows
166
00:09:52,859 --> 00:09:54,926
in limbo was for the
Pillars to take him there.
167
00:09:55,228 --> 00:09:57,763
So they got stuck too!
168
00:09:58,265 --> 00:10:01,199
The Pony of Shadows must
have been really awful
169
00:10:01,301 --> 00:10:02,735
for them to do that.
170
00:10:03,237 --> 00:10:06,171
I suppose being trapped for all
time with a super-duper bad guy
171
00:10:06,273 --> 00:10:08,674
in limbo might be OK if
you were doing the limbo,
172
00:10:09,076 --> 00:10:10,209
but that's still pushing it.
173
00:10:10,411 --> 00:10:13,378
The thing is, I think
I can get them out.
174
00:10:14,380 --> 00:10:16,081
Twilight, are you serious?
175
00:10:16,183 --> 00:10:19,784
You can save the most
legendary ponies of all time?
176
00:10:19,886 --> 00:10:20,986
I don't know..
177
00:10:21,188 --> 00:10:25,257
Opening portals between worlds
didn't work out well for me.
178
00:10:25,859 --> 00:10:27,292
Are you sure it's safe?
179
00:10:27,494 --> 00:10:30,228
First of all, you opened
portals through time.
180
00:10:30,330 --> 00:10:32,397
And second of all,
Starswirl wrote the spell
181
00:10:32,499 --> 00:10:33,298
you used to do it.
182
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:35,434
If he'd been here, he
could have stopped it.
183
00:10:36,136 --> 00:10:38,303
Equestria would be
safer with him in it.
184
00:10:38,505 --> 00:10:39,771
We have to save him.
185
00:10:40,173 --> 00:10:43,108
But you'd be savin'
all the Pillars, right?
186
00:10:43,410 --> 00:10:45,310
And they disappeared
ages ago.
187
00:10:45,912 --> 00:10:47,345
That's the thing
about limbo.
188
00:10:47,447 --> 00:10:49,147
It isn't one
place or another.
189
00:10:49,249 --> 00:10:51,783
It's in between, so
time stands still.
190
00:10:51,885 --> 00:10:54,353
If we can pull them out, it'll
be like they never left!
191
00:10:54,555 --> 00:10:56,721
I actually built another
model to demonstrate--
192
00:10:56,823 --> 00:10:57,322
Agh!
193
00:10:58,458 --> 00:10:59,858
What can we do to help?
194
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:02,493
If I'm right, we need to find
items that are connected
195
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:04,029
to the Pillars in some way.
196
00:11:04,131 --> 00:11:07,098
You mean, like, stuff
that belonged to them?
197
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:08,934
How would we know
what to look for?
198
00:11:09,236 --> 00:11:10,336
Or where?
199
00:11:11,038 --> 00:11:13,906
Luckily, Starswirl
took a lot of notes.
200
00:11:14,708 --> 00:11:17,542
My compatriots are as varied
as the realm itself
201
00:11:17,644 --> 00:11:20,111
and hail from every
corner of our land,
202
00:11:20,313 --> 00:11:23,982
bringing with them artifacts
and talismans of great power.
203
00:11:24,184 --> 00:11:26,686
Um, Twilight, what
are you doing?
204
00:11:27,888 --> 00:11:29,254
I'm not doing anything!
205
00:11:31,023 --> 00:11:32,457
Rockhoof's shovel!
206
00:11:32,759 --> 00:11:34,793
Flash Magnus' shield!
207
00:11:35,095 --> 00:11:36,661
Mistmane's flower!
208
00:11:36,963 --> 00:11:38,930
Meadowbrook's mask!
209
00:11:39,032 --> 00:11:41,032
And the blindfold
Somnambula wore
210
00:11:41,134 --> 00:11:43,268
when she faced
that nasty sphinx!
211
00:11:44,904 --> 00:11:47,338
I guess we don't need to figure
out who should get what!
212
00:11:53,347 --> 00:11:56,081
Professor! It's a
Mighty Helm headpiece!
213
00:11:56,283 --> 00:11:58,850
Maybe it belonged
to Rockhoof himself!
214
00:11:59,252 --> 00:12:01,286
Legends don't wear helmets.
215
00:12:01,488 --> 00:12:04,322
This belonged to a real pony.
216
00:12:04,424 --> 00:12:05,924
Applejack: Oh, I
can guarantee
217
00:12:06,026 --> 00:12:08,293
Rockhoof was as real
as you and me.
218
00:12:10,697 --> 00:12:14,766
And I suppose that ravine was
dug with his trusty shovel
219
00:12:14,868 --> 00:12:17,702
to save the village from
an erupting volcano.
220
00:12:18,104 --> 00:12:18,770
Probably.
221
00:12:19,372 --> 00:12:22,207
I love old legends
as much as anypony,
222
00:12:22,409 --> 00:12:25,577
but a pony strong enough to save
a village from rushing lava
223
00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,947
with a shovel is... preposterous!
224
00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,095
I can't believe
you just did that...
225
00:12:44,497 --> 00:12:45,864
You saved us!
226
00:12:46,266 --> 00:12:48,633
I bet if you told
somepony else the story,
227
00:12:48,735 --> 00:12:51,569
it might sound...
preposterous.
228
00:12:58,378 --> 00:13:01,946
I suppose some
stories.. might be true.
229
00:13:05,050 --> 00:13:07,986
And Rockhoof's appears
to be one of them!
230
00:13:18,864 --> 00:13:19,864
[slap]
OW!
231
00:13:19,934 --> 00:13:22,801
You keep those hooves
to yourself, dearie!
232
00:13:23,203 --> 00:13:26,638
This place has been in my
family for generations
233
00:13:26,740 --> 00:13:29,440
and I'm not about to
let some whippersnapper
234
00:13:29,542 --> 00:13:31,843
take the last good
piece of it!
235
00:13:32,145 --> 00:13:36,681
Time was, ponies came from far
and wide to see these gardens.
236
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:40,485
But that flower's the only
worthwhile thing left!
237
00:13:57,804 --> 00:14:00,739
Perhaps it just seemed like
your gardens were worthless,
238
00:14:00,941 --> 00:14:03,408
but a little pruning
can work wonders.
239
00:14:04,410 --> 00:14:05,777
Of course you will
have to look after
240
00:14:05,879 --> 00:14:07,746
more than just
one flower now.
241
00:14:08,548 --> 00:14:12,317
You've given me back
my family's legacy.
242
00:14:13,119 --> 00:14:16,988
The flower you wanted seems
like a fair trade for that.
243
00:14:20,727 --> 00:14:23,161
I can't believe Flash
Magnus' shield
244
00:14:23,263 --> 00:14:25,297
ended up in the Dragon Lands.
245
00:14:25,999 --> 00:14:28,333
Good thing you brought the
Official Equestrian Friendship
246
00:14:28,435 --> 00:14:31,370
Ambassador To The Dragons to
help you navigate our customs.
247
00:14:31,772 --> 00:14:34,372
Like our favorite
sport: gorge surfing!
248
00:14:34,774 --> 00:14:41,246
Whoo hoo! HA HA AH AH!
249
00:14:44,684 --> 00:14:48,020
OK. That was
awesome!
250
00:14:48,922 --> 00:14:52,523
Dragon Lord Ember commanded
us to make peace with ponies,
251
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:55,560
but it doesn't mean you
can surf in our spot.
252
00:14:56,996 --> 00:14:58,597
Whoa! Fellas.
253
00:14:58,699 --> 00:15:00,699
As the Official Equestrian
Friendship Ambassador
254
00:15:00,801 --> 00:15:04,102
To The Dragons, I have to say,
that's not very friendly.
255
00:15:04,504 --> 00:15:06,238
Garble: Well, what do
you know?
256
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:11,209
The puny, pony dragon's
sticking up for his pony pal.
257
00:15:12,678 --> 00:15:15,246
Hey! That's an ancient
pony artifact.
258
00:15:16,215 --> 00:15:17,849
Hooves off my gorge board!
259
00:15:17,951 --> 00:15:21,186
I found it in the desert
and finders keepers.
260
00:15:21,488 --> 00:15:23,521
It isn't yours.
261
00:15:23,723 --> 00:15:25,724
Huh. It sure looks like mine.
262
00:15:25,826 --> 00:15:29,227
But, I might consider
racing you for it.
263
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:30,962
No problem.
264
00:15:31,564 --> 00:15:33,031
Um, no.
265
00:15:33,133 --> 00:15:34,834
I mean.. you.
266
00:15:36,036 --> 00:15:36,835
Heh heh.
267
00:15:47,313 --> 00:15:48,513
On your marks...
268
00:15:48,715 --> 00:15:49,781
Get set...
269
00:15:49,883 --> 00:15:50,982
Surf!
270
00:16:04,898 --> 00:16:08,666
[pants] I won? I won! WOOO-HOOO!
271
00:16:08,768 --> 00:16:10,636
Give up the shield, Garble.
272
00:16:11,838 --> 00:16:15,406
Lord Ember only commanded
us to be nice to ponies.
273
00:16:15,508 --> 00:16:20,278
She never said anything
about pony-loving dragons.
274
00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:27,218
Uh.. since Dragon Lord Ember
commanded you
275
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,721
to make peace with ponies,
you can't very well
276
00:16:29,823 --> 00:16:32,290
attack one of their
friends, can you?
277
00:16:33,959 --> 00:16:35,360
I guess we'll find out!
278
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:44,970
Ugh. Why is he always
hiding behind ponies?
279
00:16:45,172 --> 00:16:47,606
I wasn't hiding when I
beat you down the ridge.
280
00:16:48,308 --> 00:16:49,308
You fell.
281
00:16:49,810 --> 00:16:53,244
Wow, you must be slow, if
all Spike had to do to win
282
00:16:53,346 --> 00:16:54,713
was fall down.
283
00:16:55,015 --> 00:16:56,347
I'm faster than you.
284
00:16:56,549 --> 00:16:57,282
Doubt it.
285
00:16:57,384 --> 00:16:57,983
Fine.
286
00:16:58,185 --> 00:16:59,784
I'll race you back to the top.
287
00:16:59,886 --> 00:17:02,387
If you win, you can
have your pony junk.
288
00:17:02,989 --> 00:17:07,359
But if I win, you'll leave
and I get to give it to him!
289
00:17:07,661 --> 00:17:10,695
Fine. I'm pretty sure I
could beat you anyway,
290
00:17:10,897 --> 00:17:13,531
but with that heavy hunk
of metal on your back,
291
00:17:13,733 --> 00:17:15,300
it'll be a snap.
292
00:17:15,602 --> 00:17:17,702
Huh? Oh, yeah.
Thanks for the tip.
293
00:17:18,839 --> 00:17:20,571
See ya at the top, loser!
294
00:17:26,345 --> 00:17:28,580
Hey! That's mine!
295
00:17:28,882 --> 00:17:31,416
Finders keepers, remember?
296
00:17:32,418 --> 00:17:34,619
See, because that's
what you said to them
297
00:17:34,721 --> 00:17:36,086
when they first
showed up and--
298
00:17:43,863 --> 00:17:46,998
Just remember not to
turn away from them, Cattail.
299
00:17:47,100 --> 00:17:49,634
Flash bees can get
pretty aggressive.
300
00:17:49,836 --> 00:17:51,803
I guess that's why none of
the other bayou animals
301
00:17:51,905 --> 00:17:52,971
can get to the water.
302
00:17:54,540 --> 00:17:57,041
Wouldn't it make more sense
for you to wear the mask
303
00:17:57,143 --> 00:17:58,277
that calms the bees?
304
00:17:58,679 --> 00:18:03,614
It would... if I didn't have to
fly up here to move their hive.
305
00:18:05,517 --> 00:18:06,184
There!
306
00:18:10,856 --> 00:18:12,791
Now the other bayou creatures
can get to the water
307
00:18:12,893 --> 00:18:14,793
without the bees
feeling threatened.
308
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:18,530
You know, you didn't
have to help with this.
309
00:18:18,732 --> 00:18:21,065
I would've lent you
the mask anyway.
310
00:18:21,267 --> 00:18:22,734
I know. [giggle]
311
00:18:22,836 --> 00:18:24,536
But I couldn't leave
without helping.
312
00:18:26,772 --> 00:18:29,474
I don't think anypony can
find anything in there.
313
00:18:30,076 --> 00:18:32,243
I wouldn't give
up hope just yet.
314
00:18:38,817 --> 00:18:41,085
This old blindfold was
stuck in the drain.
315
00:18:41,487 --> 00:18:43,221
Weren't you looking
for a blindfold?
316
00:18:43,523 --> 00:18:44,689
Oh, yeah!
317
00:18:49,194 --> 00:18:51,863
I can't believe I'm going to
meet Starswirl the Bearded,
318
00:18:52,165 --> 00:18:53,798
you know, outside of my dreams..
319
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:56,234
I can't believe you're actually
going through with it.
320
00:18:56,636 --> 00:18:57,436
What do you mean?
321
00:18:58,338 --> 00:19:00,639
I'm all for pushing the
envelope, obviously,
322
00:19:00,841 --> 00:19:03,208
but this is pretty out
there for you, Twilight.
323
00:19:03,810 --> 00:19:06,511
What's "out there" about saving
the most legendary ponies
324
00:19:06,613 --> 00:19:09,580
of all time from a
thousands year-old prison?
325
00:19:09,982 --> 00:19:12,651
Well, nothing when
you say it like that.
326
00:19:13,353 --> 00:19:16,087
Unless "the most legendary
ponies of all time"
327
00:19:16,189 --> 00:19:19,057
knew what they were doing and
we shouldn't mess with it.
328
00:19:19,659 --> 00:19:22,627
I'm sure Starswirl and the
Pillars did the best they could
329
00:19:22,729 --> 00:19:25,930
back then, but magic
has come a long way,
330
00:19:26,132 --> 00:19:28,333
mostly because of
the work they did.
331
00:19:28,735 --> 00:19:30,735
That's true. And you
did get your wings
332
00:19:30,837 --> 00:19:32,837
from finishing one of
Starswirl's spells.
333
00:19:33,839 --> 00:19:34,840
Exactly.
334
00:19:35,942 --> 00:19:40,044
But, then I messed with one and
nearly destroyed the universe,
335
00:19:40,146 --> 00:19:41,112
so...
336
00:19:41,314 --> 00:19:44,082
Starlight, Starswirl the
Bearded is the greatest wizard
337
00:19:44,184 --> 00:19:45,150
who ever lived.
338
00:19:45,452 --> 00:19:48,686
The chance to have him back in
Equestria is worth the risk.
339
00:19:48,788 --> 00:19:49,888
Spike: That's good news.
340
00:19:50,390 --> 00:19:53,925
Otherwise, we'd have brought
this shield for nothing!
341
00:19:54,027 --> 00:19:55,860
Applejack: I hope you don't
think you're the only one
342
00:19:55,962 --> 00:20:00,031
to find her artifact, because
this here shovel says otherwise.
343
00:20:00,433 --> 00:20:02,600
Honestly, you two...
344
00:20:02,702 --> 00:20:04,569
Not everything is a competition.
345
00:20:04,871 --> 00:20:07,405
But.. Mistmane's
flower is by far
346
00:20:07,507 --> 00:20:09,207
the most attractive
of the artifacts.
347
00:20:09,609 --> 00:20:11,743
You're just saying that because
you didn't have to scuba dive
348
00:20:11,845 --> 00:20:14,312
in a pit of green
slime to get yours.
349
00:20:14,714 --> 00:20:16,781
Or move a Flash Bee hive.
350
00:20:17,283 --> 00:20:18,416
Good work everyone.
351
00:20:20,385 --> 00:20:21,853
Let's do this!
352
00:20:43,676 --> 00:20:45,910
What-- What has happened?
353
00:20:46,712 --> 00:20:49,080
It worked! We brought you back!
354
00:20:49,282 --> 00:20:50,414
To where?
355
00:20:50,516 --> 00:20:52,250
You and the others have
been trapped in limbo
356
00:20:52,352 --> 00:20:53,784
for over a thousand years,
357
00:20:53,986 --> 00:20:55,720
but I figured out
how to get you ho--
358
00:20:55,822 --> 00:20:56,687
What!?
359
00:20:56,789 --> 00:21:00,258
No, no, no, no! You must
undo what you've done!
360
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,759
What? Why?
361
00:21:01,961 --> 00:21:03,861
I mean, I don't
think I can.
362
00:21:04,163 --> 00:21:06,264
You cannot
bring us back!
363
00:21:06,466 --> 00:21:07,265
But I did.
364
00:21:07,367 --> 00:21:09,033
I brought all the Pillars back.
365
00:21:09,235 --> 00:21:12,402
You cannot bring only
the Pillars back...
366
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,387
Oh, no...
