1
00:00:04,463 --> 00:00:07,132
[Starlight] It's the ponies
from my old village.
2
00:00:07,174 --> 00:00:10,052
[laughing]
3
00:00:10,094 --> 00:00:12,471
Oh! It's only a dream.
4
00:00:12,513 --> 00:00:16,058
With my past, I should never
be in charge of anything.
5
00:00:16,100 --> 00:00:19,353
THEY'VE TAKEN MY SISTER AND I!
IT'S WORSE THAN LAST TIME!
6
00:00:19,395 --> 00:00:21,647
Chrysalis and the
Changelings are back.
7
00:00:21,689 --> 00:00:23,482
They've ponynapped all of
the most powerful ponies
8
00:00:23,524 --> 00:00:25,359
in Equestria.
9
00:00:25,401 --> 00:00:28,362
This is Thorax. He's
a reformed Changeling.
10
00:00:28,404 --> 00:00:30,949
They took Fluttershy?
11
00:00:30,990 --> 00:00:34,702
I think I have a pretty good
idea where she might be.
12
00:00:37,079 --> 00:00:40,458
* My little pony *
* my little pony *
13
00:00:40,499 --> 00:00:42,376
* Aaaahhh *
14
00:00:42,418 --> 00:00:45,004
* My little Pony *
15
00:00:45,045 --> 00:00:47,089
* I used to wonder what
friendship could be *
16
00:00:47,131 --> 00:00:48,800
* My Little Pony *
17
00:00:48,841 --> 00:00:51,302
* Until you all shared
its magic with me *
18
00:00:51,343 --> 00:00:53,137
* Big adventure! *
* Tons of fun *
19
00:00:53,178 --> 00:00:55,598
* A beautiful heart! *
* Faithful and strong! *
20
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,767
* Sharing kindness *
* it's an easy feat *
21
00:00:57,809 --> 00:00:59,769
* And magic makes it
all complete! *
22
00:00:59,811 --> 00:01:01,938
* To have my little pony *
23
00:01:01,980 --> 00:01:06,943
* Do you know you're all
my very best friends? *
24
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:15,534
* [scary music] *
25
00:01:16,786 --> 00:01:19,538
Oh, this is so strange.
We're here and that's there
26
00:01:19,580 --> 00:01:23,125
and I clearly meant for us
to be there and not here.
27
00:01:23,167 --> 00:01:25,753
Oh, I can probably
explain that.
28
00:01:25,795 --> 00:01:28,297
Oh well, if at first
you don't succeed.
29
00:01:28,339 --> 00:01:31,009
Maybe we should come
up with a plan first?
30
00:01:31,926 --> 00:01:33,218
A what?
31
00:01:33,260 --> 00:01:35,179
You know, figuring out the
best way to do something
32
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:37,974
before you actually do it?
33
00:01:38,016 --> 00:01:40,392
[laughing] Oh,
that's adorable.
34
00:01:40,434 --> 00:01:43,813
But, you see, unlike
you I can do anything.
35
00:01:43,855 --> 00:01:45,189
Actually...
36
00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:47,191
That's all very nice, but
really a waste of time.
37
00:01:47,232 --> 00:01:48,651
We have me.
38
00:01:48,693 --> 00:01:51,320
And what else could
we possibly need?
39
00:01:51,362 --> 00:01:55,449
A draconequis with magic AND
half a brain might help.
40
00:01:55,491 --> 00:01:57,284
Why are you here
again?
41
00:01:57,326 --> 00:02:00,245
I mean, it's not like you're
going to stop the Changelings
42
00:02:00,287 --> 00:02:02,414
by pulling a rabbit
out of the hat.
43
00:02:02,456 --> 00:02:05,417
At least my magic
can do something.
44
00:02:05,459 --> 00:02:07,086
The thing about
magic here is...
45
00:02:07,127 --> 00:02:08,713
Like this!
46
00:02:08,754 --> 00:02:10,798
For Fluttershy!
47
00:02:12,216 --> 00:02:13,216
Eeyah!
48
00:02:14,802 --> 00:02:16,261
[oinking]
49
00:02:17,555 --> 00:02:19,849
I've been trying to tell you.
50
00:02:19,891 --> 00:02:22,810
Nothing other than
Changeling magic works here!
51
00:02:22,852 --> 00:02:26,105
Chrysalis' throne is carved
from an ancient dark stone
52
00:02:26,188 --> 00:02:28,774
that soaks up outside magic
the same way Changelings
53
00:02:28,816 --> 00:02:31,861
soak up love. It's how
she keeps the hive safe.
54
00:02:31,903 --> 00:02:37,491
[chimes]
55
00:02:37,533 --> 00:02:41,996
So... What kind of
plan were you thinking?
56
00:02:42,038 --> 00:02:46,625
Without magic I have no idea.
But nopony else is coming,
57
00:02:46,667 --> 00:02:48,836
so somepony better
come up with something.
58
00:02:50,588 --> 00:02:51,588
Anypony?
59
00:02:53,091 --> 00:02:54,842
Anything?
60
00:02:54,884 --> 00:02:56,594
Hmmm.
61
00:02:56,635 --> 00:02:59,388
This throne. If we get into
the hive and destroy it,
62
00:02:59,430 --> 00:03:01,223
can we get our magic back?
63
00:03:01,265 --> 00:03:02,516
Uh-huh.
64
00:03:02,558 --> 00:03:04,685
Well, that's a terrible plan.
65
00:03:04,727 --> 00:03:07,730
How are we even supposed
to get to the hive?
66
00:03:07,772 --> 00:03:09,565
We walk?
67
00:03:10,608 --> 00:03:13,986
I haven't walked that
far in millennia.
68
00:03:14,028 --> 00:03:15,279
Ugh.
69
00:03:19,700 --> 00:03:22,286
Ugh. I don't know how any
of you manage not being able
70
00:03:22,327 --> 00:03:25,998
to disappear and reappear
whenever you want.
71
00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:30,377
Well, I for one definitely miss
you being able to disappear.
72
00:03:30,419 --> 00:03:32,630
Give Discord a break.
73
00:03:32,671 --> 00:03:35,591
None of us knew we weren't
going to be able to use magic.
74
00:03:35,633 --> 00:03:37,009
I did.
75
00:03:37,051 --> 00:03:39,470
If we get separated, it might
make sense to have a way
76
00:03:39,511 --> 00:03:41,973
to make sure we are
who we say we are.
77
00:03:42,014 --> 00:03:47,061
Ooo. Like a secret code.
How about if I say "We are"
78
00:03:47,103 --> 00:03:52,274
you say "Doomed?" Or you say
"Rescue" and I say "I'm...
79
00:03:52,316 --> 00:03:53,901
[crash]
80
00:03:53,943 --> 00:03:57,571
How about if we say "Klutzy"
and you say "Draconequis?"
81
00:03:57,613 --> 00:04:00,282
Klutzy draconequis.
Works for me.
82
00:04:00,324 --> 00:04:02,034
I'll definitely
remember it.
83
00:04:03,327 --> 00:04:05,871
[whistling wind]
84
00:04:15,131 --> 00:04:18,717
[Trixie] OK. I am
definitely glad you came.
85
00:04:18,759 --> 00:04:21,386
I don't think we'd be able
to find our way without you.
86
00:04:21,428 --> 00:04:22,471
You definitely wouldn't.
87
00:04:22,513 --> 00:04:24,556
[rumble and slam]
88
00:04:24,598 --> 00:04:26,558
Um... Where's the way out?
89
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,937
It's a Changeling Hive. It
shifts and changes like we do
90
00:04:29,979 --> 00:04:32,356
and we're the only ones
who can navigate it.
91
00:04:32,397 --> 00:04:35,860
It's total chaos to
non-Changelings.
92
00:04:35,901 --> 00:04:40,198
Well, it's decent chaos. I don't
know if I'd call it total.
93
00:04:42,033 --> 00:04:44,326
Discord: Are we sure that
I'll get my magic back
94
00:04:44,368 --> 00:04:47,329
when we destroy
this throne-thingy?
95
00:04:47,371 --> 00:04:49,999
If Thorax is
right, then yes.
96
00:04:50,041 --> 00:04:52,210
Well, that's reassuring.
97
00:04:52,251 --> 00:04:54,336
And how are we supposed
to destroy the throne
98
00:04:54,378 --> 00:04:55,364
when we find it?
99
00:04:55,379 --> 00:04:58,924
I... don't know.
100
00:04:58,966 --> 00:05:00,509
That's reassuring.
101
00:05:02,594 --> 00:05:05,347
I don't suppose you brought
any throne-destroying tools
102
00:05:05,389 --> 00:05:08,392
along with these
useless side show props?
103
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:11,436
Asks the "lord of chaos"
who can't go for a walk
104
00:05:11,478 --> 00:05:13,814
without whining non-stop.
105
00:05:13,856 --> 00:05:15,941
Yes, but when the
throne is destroyed,
106
00:05:15,983 --> 00:05:19,070
I'LL be able to rip the
very fabric of reality
107
00:05:19,111 --> 00:05:21,906
to save our friends
while YOU'LL still be
108
00:05:21,947 --> 00:05:26,493
a self-absorbed,
below-average illusionist.
109
00:05:26,535 --> 00:05:29,371
SELF-ABSORBED?! Why you...
110
00:05:29,413 --> 00:05:31,832
CUT! IT! OUT!
111
00:05:31,874 --> 00:05:33,667
I'm just barely
keeping it together
112
00:05:33,709 --> 00:05:36,503
and it would be WONDERFUL if you
two could actually try to help
113
00:05:36,545 --> 00:05:38,547
instead of bickering like foals.
114
00:05:40,841 --> 00:05:42,301
OK.
115
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:43,427
How can we help?
116
00:05:43,468 --> 00:05:46,264
Don't ask me! I couldn't
even handle giving advice
117
00:05:46,305 --> 00:05:49,683
at the Sunset Festival
and I HAD magic then!
118
00:05:49,725 --> 00:05:51,936
And the three of us
are as good as useless.
119
00:05:51,977 --> 00:05:54,396
At least Thorax knows
where we're going.
120
00:05:54,438 --> 00:05:56,107
[Thorax] Um... guys?
121
00:05:57,066 --> 00:05:58,442
I think we're lost.
122
00:05:58,483 --> 00:06:00,402
[Trixie] Aww, great!
123
00:06:00,444 --> 00:06:02,321
We might as well just
sit here and wait
124
00:06:02,362 --> 00:06:05,490
for the Changelings to
soak up all of our love
125
00:06:05,532 --> 00:06:08,660
or whatever gross thing
it is that they do.
126
00:06:08,702 --> 00:06:11,538
How often do you
all get hungry?
127
00:06:11,580 --> 00:06:15,375
Actually, I haven't
been since I met Spike.
128
00:06:15,417 --> 00:06:17,544
And Changelings
are always hungry.
129
00:06:17,586 --> 00:06:19,421
We can never get
enough love.
130
00:06:19,463 --> 00:06:21,423
Well, that's just super.
131
00:06:21,465 --> 00:06:24,802
But you aren't
hungry at all now?
132
00:06:24,843 --> 00:06:28,430
Once I made a few friends,
I guess I just sort of...
133
00:06:28,472 --> 00:06:31,267
forgot about the
whole feeding thing.
134
00:06:31,309 --> 00:06:35,062
Is that about the same
time your wings changed?
135
00:06:35,104 --> 00:06:36,314
I guess so.

not feeding.

that, but I haven't seen

we got into this hive.

What kind of plan?

00:07:21,317 --> 00:07:22,567
We have no magic
153

and it's not like my illusions
are going to save us.

didn't go with the rest.

00:08:21,126 --> 00:08:22,461
[nervous laugh]
178
00:08:22,502 --> 00:08:26,715
[buzzing]
179
00:08:26,757 --> 00:08:29,718
* [dramatic music] *
180
00:08:36,183 --> 00:08:37,851
Now what?
181
00:08:37,893 --> 00:08:39,978
We go in.
182
00:08:40,020 --> 00:08:43,441
Even if I wanted to, there's
no way past the guards.
183
00:08:43,482 --> 00:08:45,525
We'll be spotted for sure.
184
00:08:45,567 --> 00:08:48,237
We need some kind
of distraction.
185
00:08:48,279 --> 00:08:50,448
I'm fresh out of
smoke bombs.
186
00:08:50,489 --> 00:08:52,366
Normally I'm the most
distracting thing
187
00:08:52,408 --> 00:08:55,702
I can think of, but
without magic...
188
00:08:55,744 --> 00:08:57,662
You shouldn't
underestimate yourself.
189
00:09:00,707 --> 00:09:02,042
[slam]
190
00:09:02,084 --> 00:09:03,502
[stomp]
191
00:09:03,543 --> 00:09:04,795
[tap tap tap]
192
00:09:04,836 --> 00:09:07,965
Hello, Changelings and
Changelettes, believe me;
193
00:09:08,006 --> 00:09:10,592
I was just as surprised
as you are that I'm here.
194
00:09:10,634 --> 00:09:13,595
When I heard that I'd be playing
for a bunch of Changelings,
195
00:09:13,637 --> 00:09:17,641
I was beside myself. Then I
realized it was just one of you.
196
00:09:17,682 --> 00:09:19,310
* [snare drum rim shot] *
197
00:09:19,351 --> 00:09:20,602
[chuckle]
198
00:09:20,644 --> 00:09:22,562
But seriously, this
isn't the toughest crowd
199
00:09:22,604 --> 00:09:23,772
I've ever been in front of,
200
00:09:23,814 --> 00:09:26,608
but it's definitely
the easiest to bug.
201
00:09:26,650 --> 00:09:28,486
* [drum shot with cymbal] *
202
00:09:28,527 --> 00:09:29,569
To bug...
203
00:09:29,611 --> 00:09:30,597
Is this thing on?
204
00:09:30,612 --> 00:09:31,613
[tap tap]
205
00:09:31,655 --> 00:09:32,990
[angry hissing]
206
00:09:35,784 --> 00:09:38,203
Well, if you think that
you can do any better,
207
00:09:38,245 --> 00:09:39,746
be my guest!
208
00:09:42,624 --> 00:09:44,793
It is absolutely ridiculous
that that worked.
209
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,926
It is certainly a pleasure
to have such dedicated fans.
210
00:09:52,968 --> 00:09:54,845
I'll have to come back
with some new material
211
00:09:54,886 --> 00:09:57,681
after I rescue Fluttershy.
212
00:09:57,722 --> 00:10:01,560
Please... Help...
213
00:10:01,601 --> 00:10:03,395
Fluttershy!
214
00:10:03,437 --> 00:10:06,106
Discord! I'm stuck!
215
00:10:06,148 --> 00:10:07,358
You certainly are.
216
00:10:07,399 --> 00:10:10,235
And I should probably
help you get free, but...
217
00:10:10,277 --> 00:10:12,863
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!
218
00:10:12,904 --> 00:10:14,532
But what?
219
00:10:14,573 --> 00:10:18,076
But you are obviously
not Fluttershy.
220
00:10:18,118 --> 00:10:19,161
Oh.
221
00:10:19,203 --> 00:10:21,079
I mean, I'm separated
from the group
222
00:10:21,121 --> 00:10:25,042
and just happen to come across
the one pony I care most about?
223
00:10:25,083 --> 00:10:27,669
I can smell this
set-up a mile away.
224
00:10:27,711 --> 00:10:29,671
[sobbing]
225
00:10:29,713 --> 00:10:31,756
No. You're right.
226
00:10:31,798 --> 00:10:34,676
There's no way you
should trust me.
227
00:10:34,718 --> 00:10:39,931
Just go find the
others. I understand.
228
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:41,475
Oh, come on.
229
00:10:41,517 --> 00:10:46,688
[loud sobbing]
230
00:10:46,730 --> 00:10:48,690
We're probably
all Changelings.
231
00:10:48,732 --> 00:10:51,776
You shouldn't
rescue any of us.
232
00:10:51,818 --> 00:10:56,698
Unless you think maybe one of us
might be the real Fluttershy.
233
00:10:56,740 --> 00:11:01,703
That certainly would be a nasty
Changeling trick, wouldn't it?
234
00:11:01,745 --> 00:11:03,705
I'm the real one.
235
00:11:03,747 --> 00:11:05,707
I'm the real one.
236
00:11:05,749 --> 00:11:08,085
I'm the real
Fluttershy.
237
00:11:08,126 --> 00:11:10,546
[snivelling]
238
00:11:10,588 --> 00:11:14,883
We can't wait for Discord.
Between seeing him and Trixie,
239
00:11:14,925 --> 00:11:18,220
the castle will be
crawling with guards soon.
240
00:11:18,262 --> 00:11:21,014
But if we do manage to
destroy Chrysalis' throne,
241
00:11:21,056 --> 00:11:22,224
we'll need him.
242
00:11:22,266 --> 00:11:23,767
He could take on the
entire Changeling army
243
00:11:23,808 --> 00:11:25,727
by sneezing if he
wanted to.
244
00:11:25,769 --> 00:11:28,730
He's probably already
been captured.
245
00:11:28,772 --> 00:11:32,692
Hello? Fellow rescuers?
246
00:11:34,278 --> 00:11:37,197
We can't stay here. We've
got to find the throne!
247
00:11:37,239 --> 00:11:40,075
Oooh! I heard some
of the Changelings
248
00:11:40,117 --> 00:11:44,204
who were chasing me say
that they know where it is.
249
00:11:44,246 --> 00:11:45,664
Klutzy...
250
00:11:45,705 --> 00:11:51,629
Hmmmm? Oh, yeah haha. I can
be klutzy. Now, follow me!
251
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:55,132
You know that's
not Discord, right?
252
00:11:55,173 --> 00:11:56,425
Obviously.
253
00:11:58,009 --> 00:12:01,096
This way! We're
almost there!
254
00:12:01,138 --> 00:12:03,807
I know this trick. If
he says to go left,
255
00:12:03,848 --> 00:12:05,725
we should definitely go right.
256
00:12:05,767 --> 00:12:08,061
He's leading us to a
swarm waiting to attack.
257
00:12:09,605 --> 00:12:10,814
[sigh]
258
00:12:10,855 --> 00:12:12,774
OK, I'll handle it.
259
00:12:12,816 --> 00:12:15,068
You two just get ready to
run into the other tunnel.
260
00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:17,779
Wait, what!? Trixie
you can't.
261
00:12:17,821 --> 00:12:20,782
I won't know what to do.
We've already lost Discord.
262
00:12:20,824 --> 00:12:22,951
I can't lose you too.
Without magic I...
263
00:12:22,993 --> 00:12:26,037
Starlight, you got us this
far with just my illusions
264
00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:28,499
and Discord's
annoying personality.
265
00:12:28,540 --> 00:12:31,793
You don't need magic to
figure out what to do next.
266
00:12:31,835 --> 00:12:34,171
I know you're afraid
to be in charge,
267
00:12:34,212 --> 00:12:38,800
but you're really good at it.
Listen to your best friend.
268
00:12:40,885 --> 00:12:45,724
Hey, Discord? Wanna see the new
trick I've been working on?
269
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:49,186
I call it, "The
Changeling Catcher!"
270
00:12:49,227 --> 00:12:51,522
Run!
271
00:12:51,563 --> 00:12:52,606
[whoosh]
272
00:13:01,865 --> 00:13:03,408
* [weak] Ta-daaa... *
273
00:13:07,162 --> 00:13:10,749
[panting]
274
00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:15,462
* [dramatic music] *
275
00:13:15,504 --> 00:13:19,841
* [music quiets] *
276
00:13:22,886 --> 00:13:24,513
[splat]
277
00:13:24,555 --> 00:13:28,600
* [dramatic music] *
278
00:13:38,026 --> 00:13:45,033
[evil laugh] One little
pony all by herself.
279
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:52,874
Oh, how will I ever
prevent this daring rescue?
280
00:13:52,916 --> 00:13:55,627
[hissing and snarling]
281
00:14:03,468 --> 00:14:09,349
Well, well, well. The Princess
of Friendship's sole pupil.
282
00:14:09,391 --> 00:14:12,561
Honestly, I didn't think
you were worth replacing
283
00:14:12,603 --> 00:14:15,522
with one of my drones.
284
00:14:15,564 --> 00:14:17,566
You won't get away with this!
285
00:14:17,608 --> 00:14:21,945
I already have. Nopony
is coming to save you.
286
00:14:21,986 --> 00:14:27,909
Your little squad was it,
and now there's just you.
287
00:14:27,951 --> 00:14:29,620
Thorax is still out there.
288
00:14:29,661 --> 00:14:32,456
Don't mention that traitor's
name in my Kingdom!
289
00:14:32,497 --> 00:14:36,376
He was a fool to leave and
even more a fool to return.
290
00:14:36,418 --> 00:14:40,004
When I find him he'll
learn just what happens
291
00:14:40,046 --> 00:14:42,924
to those who betray the hive.
292
00:14:42,966 --> 00:14:45,176
[whimper]
293
00:14:45,218 --> 00:14:48,847
And it seems I don't
have far to look, do I.
294
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:51,266
[zap]
295
00:14:51,308 --> 00:14:52,476
Thorax!
296
00:14:52,517 --> 00:14:53,977
[hiss]
297
00:14:55,186 --> 00:14:58,273
[clanking]
298
00:15:00,984 --> 00:15:05,530
Very clever. And clearly Thorax
revealed to you the secret
299
00:15:05,572 --> 00:15:09,075
of my throne. I can't
have powerful ponies
300
00:15:09,117 --> 00:15:11,787
using their
abilities against me.
301
00:15:11,829 --> 00:15:13,455
Even with your
rather embarrassing
302
00:15:13,497 --> 00:15:16,750
little rescue attempt,
everything has gone
303
00:15:16,792 --> 00:15:19,294
according to MY plan.
304
00:15:19,336 --> 00:15:22,130
What plan? Why did
you do all this?
305
00:15:22,172 --> 00:15:24,424
So I could feed, of course!
306
00:15:24,466 --> 00:15:28,052
By replacing the most beloved
figures in Equestria,
307
00:15:28,094 --> 00:15:31,973
my drones will be able to store
all the love meant for them
308
00:15:32,015 --> 00:15:34,976
and return it here... to me.
309
00:15:35,018 --> 00:15:38,856
Everypony will do as I
command and my subjects
310
00:15:38,897 --> 00:15:43,401
and I will feed on their love
for generations! [evil laugh!]
311
00:15:48,740 --> 00:15:50,784
What if you
didn't have to?
312
00:15:50,826 --> 00:15:52,410
Ridiculous!
313
00:15:53,662 --> 00:15:57,624
The hunger of Changelings
can never be satisfied.
314
00:15:57,666 --> 00:16:01,545
Exactly. Thorax left the
hive and made a friend.
315
00:16:01,586 --> 00:16:05,215
He shared love and now
he doesn't need to feed!
316
00:16:05,256 --> 00:16:08,218
You don't have to live your
lives starving all the time!
317
00:16:09,887 --> 00:16:11,805
You know nothing
of the Changelings
318
00:16:11,847 --> 00:16:13,557
or what it takes
to be their Queen!
319
00:16:15,099 --> 00:16:20,146
I decide what is best for my
subjects, not some mewling grub!
320
00:16:20,188 --> 00:16:23,817
I know what it's like to lead
by fear and intimidation.
321
00:16:23,859 --> 00:16:25,026
And I know
what it's like
322
00:16:25,068 --> 00:16:27,863
to want everypony
to do what you say.
323
00:16:27,905 --> 00:16:31,783
But I was wrong. A real leader
doesn't force her subjects
324
00:16:31,825 --> 00:16:34,035
to deny who they are.
325
00:16:34,077 --> 00:16:36,329
She celebrates what
makes them unique...
326
00:16:36,371 --> 00:16:39,374
and listens when one of
them finds a better way.
327
00:16:39,416 --> 00:16:42,460
The only thing
Thorax has found,
328
00:16:42,502 --> 00:16:46,047
is what happens to those who
turn their back on the hive!
329
00:16:46,089 --> 00:16:47,257
[zap]
330
00:16:47,298 --> 00:16:48,592
No! Stop!
331
00:16:50,134 --> 00:16:53,388
Just as soon as I drain every
last ounce of love from him
332
00:16:53,430 --> 00:16:56,725
and show my subjects
what a real leader is.
333
00:16:58,393 --> 00:17:01,939
I can feel the love
inside me slipping away.
334
00:17:01,980 --> 00:17:04,524
I can't hold onto
it much longer.
335
00:17:04,566 --> 00:17:06,067
Then don't!
336
00:17:06,109 --> 00:17:08,946
Sharing love is what made
you different to begin with.
337
00:17:08,987 --> 00:17:11,072
You should share
yours with Chrysalis.
338
00:17:11,114 --> 00:17:13,533
Give her all of it.
339
00:17:13,575 --> 00:17:16,035
[whoosh]
340
00:17:16,077 --> 00:17:19,330
[zapping]
341
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:37,056
This is what happens
when you give love freely
342
00:17:37,098 --> 00:17:39,183
instead of taking it.
343
00:17:46,149 --> 00:17:49,987
[rumbling and cracking]
344
00:17:50,028 --> 00:17:51,822
[explosion]
345
00:17:53,573 --> 00:17:58,286
* [soft music] *
346
00:18:11,591 --> 00:18:13,426
Fluttershy?
347
00:18:15,178 --> 00:18:17,764
It's, um, good to see you too.
348
00:18:19,557 --> 00:18:20,767
Starlight?
349
00:18:22,185 --> 00:18:23,812
What happened?
350
00:18:23,854 --> 00:18:26,898
We defeated the Changelings
with no magic at all;
351
00:18:26,940 --> 00:18:28,566
they found a new leader...
352
00:18:28,608 --> 00:18:31,611
and they're all
kinda good now.
353
00:18:35,198 --> 00:18:36,658
Well done, Starlight Glimmer.
354
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:38,785
It seems as though you've
learned a great deal
355
00:18:38,827 --> 00:18:39,813
since we last spoke.
356
00:18:39,828 --> 00:18:41,663
[cracking]
357
00:18:41,705 --> 00:18:43,832
[shriek]
358
00:18:50,213 --> 00:18:52,007
When Twilight and her
friends defeated me,
359
00:18:52,049 --> 00:18:56,177
I chose to run away and seek
revenge. You don't have to.
360
00:18:56,219 --> 00:18:58,763
You can be the leader
your subjects deserve.
361
00:19:06,229 --> 00:19:08,982
There is no revenge you
could ever conceive of
362
00:19:09,024 --> 00:19:11,317
that will come close to
what I will exact upon you
363
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:14,445
one day, Starlight Glimmer!
364
00:19:22,746 --> 00:19:25,456
Thorax, as the new leader
of the Changelings,
365
00:19:25,498 --> 00:19:28,793
I look forward to discussing how
we can improve our relationship
366
00:19:28,835 --> 00:19:30,545
in the future.
367
00:19:30,587 --> 00:19:33,256
However, for the moment,
perhaps it is best
368
00:19:33,297 --> 00:19:37,677
that we leave the Changeling
Kingdom to the Changelings.
369
00:19:37,719 --> 00:19:38,929
[poof]
370
00:19:38,970 --> 00:19:41,222
Splendid idea!
Now who's ready
371
00:19:41,264 --> 00:19:45,226
for some celebratory
tea at Fluttershy's?
372
00:19:45,268 --> 00:19:48,438
Oh. Um. Everypony?
373
00:19:48,479 --> 00:19:51,232
Actually, now that you
can snap your claws
374
00:19:51,274 --> 00:19:53,234
and send us absolutely
anywhere again,
375
00:19:53,276 --> 00:19:55,194
I think I have a
better option.
376
00:19:58,573 --> 00:20:02,243
Uh.. Hey Starlight.
What are you doing here?
377
00:20:02,285 --> 00:20:04,412
You left in such
a hurry before,
378
00:20:04,454 --> 00:20:07,124
we kinda thought you
didn't want to come.
379
00:20:07,165 --> 00:20:10,752
Yeah. I guess after the way I
used my magic on all of you,
380
00:20:10,794 --> 00:20:13,379
I wasn't sure I was somepony
who should even be in charge
381
00:20:13,421 --> 00:20:16,382
of a baking contest. I was
afraid I might go back
382
00:20:16,424 --> 00:20:19,719
to being the pony I
used to be. But...
383
00:20:19,761 --> 00:20:22,764
I realized that sometimes
you don't have a choice.
384
00:20:22,806 --> 00:20:27,852
You have to step up. And I
HAVE changed. I can handle it.
385
00:20:27,894 --> 00:20:30,605
Whether than means saving
Equestria OR helping friends
386
00:20:30,647 --> 00:20:34,358
with a sunset festival.
Speaking of which...
387
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:38,279
I know the festival is almost
over, but I kinda invited
388
00:20:38,321 --> 00:20:40,281
a few of my
friends to join.
389
00:20:42,117 --> 00:20:44,953
Hope that's OK.
390
00:20:44,995 --> 00:20:47,580
Are you kidding? Of course!
391
00:20:47,622 --> 00:20:51,126
Great. Now, where's
that baking contest?
392
00:20:51,168 --> 00:20:53,252
This pony needs a cupcake!
393
00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,760
So I'm able to rip the very
fabric of reality again.
394
00:21:00,802 --> 00:21:03,429
Yeah, yeah and I'm
still a self-absorbed,
395
00:21:03,471 --> 00:21:06,224
below-average
illusionist. Right?
396
00:21:06,265 --> 00:21:09,186
Actually, I was going to say
a COUPLE of those illusions
397
00:21:09,227 --> 00:21:11,521
were slightly above average.
398
00:21:11,562 --> 00:21:15,316
If you ever need a little chaos
in your act, let me know.
399
00:21:15,358 --> 00:21:18,987
Ha! When pigs fly!
400
00:21:19,029 --> 00:21:21,447
Your wish is my command!
401
00:21:21,489 --> 00:21:23,158
[snap]
402
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:24,325
[squeal]
403
00:21:24,367 --> 00:21:26,119
Whoa-whoaaaa!
404
00:21:27,370 --> 00:21:31,833
Somepony is really gonna have to
catch us up on what we missed.
