Everhoof, sealing it away with a magical forcefield. 00:01:18.860 --> 00:01:23.710 Now, among pony kind were three tribes, the Pegasi, the Unicorns and the Earth Ponies. 00:01:23.710 --> 00:01:27.750 Though the tribes were divided, they all depended on eachother for survival. 00:01:27.750 --> 00:01:31.430 The Earth Ponies, with their special connection to the ground, were tasked with growing crops 00:01:31.430 --> 00:01:32.760 for all the tribes. 00:01:32.760 --> 00:01:36.850 In return, the Pegasi with their wings controlled the weather, while the unicorns with their 00:01:36.850 --> 00:01:41.780 horns and magic spells, raised and lowered the sun and moon to bring forth day and night. 00:01:41.780 --> 00:01:46.020 During this time, a unicorn named Clover the Clever underwent seven trials, one of which 00:01:46.020 --> 00:01:49.980 involved pursuing an evil sorceress who had a memory-erasing artifact 00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:51.360 called the Memory Stone. 00:01:51.360 --> 00:01:56.340 This ended when the sorceress entered a portal and the artefact became lost in another world. 00:01:56.350 --> 00:02:01.210 The tribes’ precarious peace was suddenly toppled when mythical creatures known as Windigoes 00:02:01.210 --> 00:02:05.570 arrived and started a massive blizzard that destroyed most of the Earth ponies crops. 00:02:05.570 --> 00:02:10.080 A grand summit was held where the leaders of each tribe discussed what to do about the famine. 00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:14.240 The meeting didn’t go too well as the leaders blamed each other for the blizzard. 00:02:14.250 --> 00:02:18.370 The leaders and their number twos all separately decided that they would seek out a new land. 00:02:18.370 --> 00:02:23.840 But unexpectedly, all three tribes came across the same territory, so they fought for sovereignty. 00:02:23.840 --> 00:02:27.330 This drew the attention of the Windigoes’ blizzard, which had been feeding off the hatred 00:02:27.330 --> 00:02:29.260 between the tribes since the beginning. 00:02:29.260 --> 00:02:33.720 The leaders had no choice but to seek shelter in a cave, but they brought their fighting, 00:02:33.720 --> 00:02:35.720 and therefore the blizzard, with them. 00:02:35.720 --> 00:02:39.280 It wasn’t long before the leaders were completely frozen in ice. 00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:43.500 Fortunately, the tribes’ number twos saw how the fighting caused their leaders to freeze 00:02:43.500 --> 00:02:44.840 and they befriended each other. 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:49.420 This ignited the “Fire of Friendship”, which incinerated the Windigoes and melted 00:02:49.420 --> 00:02:52.370 the ice off their leaders and the land around them. 00:02:52.370 --> 00:02:56.430 The three tribe leaders saw how harmony had conquered the coldness of hatred. 00:02:56.430 --> 00:03:01.010 They agreed to share the land, officially declaring it “Equestria”. 00:03:01.010 --> 00:03:05.150 After the founding of Equestria, a powerful unicorn known as Star Swirl the Bearded was 00:03:05.150 --> 00:03:09.120 assigned to be the mentor of the two newly crowned princesses of Equestria, 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:10.800 Celestia and Luna. 00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.860 The young rulers were powerful ponies known as Alicorns, 00:03:13.860 --> 00:03:16.620 having both a pair of wings and a horn each. 00:03:16.620 --> 00:03:22.060 After some time, Celestia learned the ability of raising and lowering the sun all by herself. 00:03:22.060 --> 00:03:26.980 She took over the duty that was previously held by Star Swirl and five other unicorn sorcerers. 00:03:26.980 --> 00:03:31.300 Eventually, Luna likewise learned to raise and lower the moon by herself, and together, 00:03:31.300 --> 00:03:36.400 Celestia and Luna offered to bring forth day and night together, bringing balance to the land. 00:03:36.400 --> 00:03:41.180 Meanwhile, dangerous creatures coming in all shapes and sizes threatened to take advantage 00:03:41.190 --> 00:03:42.770 of young equestria’s growth. 00:03:42.770 --> 00:03:47.330 Brothers Tirek and Scorpan were intent on stealing magic from Equestria. 00:03:47.330 --> 00:03:52.640 However, Scorpan came to appreciate the ways of the ponies and urged Tirek to abandon their plans 00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:54.530 to which he refused. 00:03:54.530 --> 00:03:58.600 Scorpan alerted the princesses, who responded by sending Tirek to Tartarus 00:03:58.600 --> 00:04:01.000 a prison for dangerous beings. 00:04:01.010 --> 00:04:06.870 The Sirens: Adagio, Sonata and Aria fed off ponies' negative energies, giving them power. 00:04:06.870 --> 00:04:09.780 They intended to conquer Equestria through their songs. 00:04:09.780 --> 00:04:14.790 To stop them, A scholarly unicorn named Stygian brought together six of the land’s greatest 00:04:14.790 --> 00:04:18.700 heroes who became known as the Pillars of Old Equestria. 00:04:18.700 --> 00:04:22.880 One of the pillars, Star Swirl, banished the sirens to another world, believing their magic 00:04:22.880 --> 00:04:24.650 would cause no harm there. 00:04:24.650 --> 00:04:29.750 Stygian, wanting to fight alongside the Pillars, took artefacts from each of them to make copies 00:04:29.750 --> 00:04:34.920 However, the Pillars misunderstood this as an act of selfish jealousy, and kicked him out for it. 00:04:34.920 --> 00:04:40.140 Having been cast away from the group he assembled, Stygian let the darkness envelope him and 00:04:40.140 --> 00:04:44.180 he transformed into a creature known as the Pony of Shadows. 00:04:44.189 --> 00:04:49.139 The Pillars responded by sacrificing themselves, using a rock formation known as Ponhenge to 00:04:49.140 --> 00:04:51.780 trap the Pony of Shadows in limbo. 00:04:51.780 --> 00:04:56.360 Knowing this plan would trap themselves in limbo too, they infused a powerful seed with 00:04:56.360 --> 00:05:02.120 their magic that would one day grow into a force that could protect Equestria in their absence. 00:05:02.120 --> 00:05:06.779 The pillars summoned the Pony of Shadows to ponehenge and its magic caused all of them 00:05:06.779 --> 00:05:11.509 to disappear into limbo, leaving behind each of the Pillars’ artefacts to be scattered 00:05:11.509 --> 00:05:13.000 across Equestria. 00:05:13.000 --> 00:05:17.930 That seed they planted grew into a magical essence known as the Tree of Harmony. 00:05:17.930 --> 00:05:22.689 By the time it was full grown, the powerful and mischievous creature of chaos known as 00:05:22.689 --> 00:05:28.659 Discord turned Equestria into his playground, ruling it in a state of unrest and unhappiness 00:05:28.660 --> 00:05:30.140 for all ponies. 00:05:30.140 --> 00:05:32.860 Celestia and Luna wanted to put a stop to it. 00:05:32.860 --> 00:05:36.979 Having discovered the Tree of Harmony, they retrieved six magical artefacts contained 00:05:36.979 --> 00:05:39.590 within it known as the Elements of Harmony. 00:05:39.590 --> 00:05:44.729 They wielded the Elements against Discord and defeated him, casting him into stone. 00:05:44.729 --> 00:05:49.020 But before his defeat, Discord had planted “plunderseeds” to steal the magic from 00:05:49.020 --> 00:05:52.370 the Tree of Harmony and capture Celestia and Luna. 00:05:52.370 --> 00:05:56.990 However, even without the Elements contained in it, the tree continued to have enough magic 00:05:56.990 --> 00:05:59.340 to prevent the seeds from taking over. 00:05:59.340 --> 00:06:04.600 Around this time in the arctic north of Equestria, an evil unicorn named King Sombra took over 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:10.740 a magical domain known as the Crystal Empire and enslaved the Crystal Ponies that lived there. 00:06:10.740 --> 00:06:15.620 Celestia and Luna saw the suffering of the ponies in the north, so they overthrew Sombra, 00:06:15.620 --> 00:06:18.740 turning him to shadow and banishing him into the ice. 00:06:18.740 --> 00:06:24.340 but not before he was able to put a curse on the Empire that caused it to vanish completely. 00:06:24.340 --> 00:06:28.100 Over time, tensions between Celestia and Luna grew hot. 00:06:28.100 --> 00:06:32.920 Luna became jealous of her elder sister’s reign over the ponies during their waking hours. 00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:37.720 One day, she raised the moon to block the sun, and refused to lower it. 00:06:37.729 --> 00:06:42.330 The Darkness in Luna turned her into a wicked mare known as Nightmare Moon, who wanted to 00:06:42.330 --> 00:06:43.800 destroy Celestia. 00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:46.740 The fight that followed led to the destruction of their castle. 00:06:46.740 --> 00:06:50.980 Celestia had no choice but to begrudgingly use the Elements of Harmony 00:06:50.980 --> 00:06:53.219 against her own sister. 00:06:53.219 --> 00:06:56.699 The Elements banished her to the moon for a thousand years. 00:06:56.700 --> 00:07:00.140 This began the great Celestia-Luna rift. 00:07:00.140 --> 00:07:05.560 Celestia took over Luna’s duty and raised both the sun and moon every day. 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:10.560 Shortly after Luna’s banishment, Celestia formed the E.U.P Guard to protect herself, 00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:13.280 and those left vulnerable by the recent change. 00:07:13.280 --> 00:07:18.500 After a successful year of peace brought by the E.U.P, Celestia declared an event to commemorate 00:07:18.500 --> 00:07:21.920 the day of nightmare moon’s defeat, and celebrate the peace that followed. 00:07:21.930 --> 00:07:27.710 At the celebration, General Firefly of the EUP led an elite team of aerial performers, 00:07:27.710 --> 00:07:30.089 who showered the ground with magical lightning. 00:07:30.089 --> 00:07:33.500 This inspired the name that group known by: “The Wonderbolts”. 00:07:33.500 --> 00:07:37.819 Celestia made the event into an annual festival called the Summer Sun Celebration. 00:07:37.819 --> 00:07:43.560 Though, to her, this day was one of great regret and sorrow over the loss of her sister. 00:07:43.560 --> 00:07:47.340 Over time, ponies began to forget there ever was a second princess, 00:07:47.340 --> 00:07:50.020 and Luna was forgotten from history. 00:07:50.460 --> 00:07:54.600 A family of travelling seed collectors arrived in the capital city of Canterlot 00:07:54.600 --> 00:07:56.500 and met with Princess Celestia. 00:07:56.500 --> 00:08:01.660 Noticing the family’s need for a new home, she directed them to a land next to the Everfree Forest 00:08:01.660 --> 00:08:05.000 where they soon settled down and planted their first orchard. 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:07.520 But since it would take a while for the orchard to grow, 00:08:07.520 --> 00:08:12.640 a young filly we know as Granny Smith ventured into the Everfree Forest to look for food. 00:08:12.640 --> 00:08:15.100 She found a magical fruit called Zap Apples 00:08:15.100 --> 00:08:18.740 that grew to full size the moment their seeds were planted. 00:08:18.740 --> 00:08:23.159 Granny paid attention to the special signs in the harvesting of zap apples and then developed 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:27.880 a process of strange activities to produce her one of a kind zap apple jam. 00:08:27.880 --> 00:08:32.280 Ponies started coming from far and wide for her jam, including one named Stinkin’ Rich 00:08:32.280 --> 00:08:34.159 who opened a store nearby. 00:08:34.160 --> 00:08:36.540 This attracted even more ponies into the area 00:08:36.540 --> 00:08:39.560 and it developed into a humble town by the name of “Ponyville” 00:08:39.560 --> 00:08:42.780 and Granny Smith’s farm became “Sweet Apple Acres”. 00:08:42.780 --> 00:08:45.740 Another family eventually settled next to Sweet Apple Acres. 00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:50.260 They grew their own pear farm and started a feud over who’s farm was better. 00:08:50.260 --> 00:08:54.740 The only ponies that ever got along between the two families were Bright Mac and Pear Butter. 00:08:54.740 --> 00:08:58.480 The two grew closer despite their families never allowing them to meet. 00:08:58.480 --> 00:09:02.700 Over the years, they continued to meet in secret and eventually fell in love. 00:09:02.700 --> 00:09:07.600 The head of the Pear family, Grand Pear decided to move the family to Vanhoover to expand 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.980 their business but also get away from the Apple family. 00:09:10.980 --> 00:09:13.820 Without a moment to lose Bright Mac set up a secret wedding 00:09:13.820 --> 00:09:16.540 located between the Apple and Pear farms. 00:09:16.540 --> 00:09:20.639 He and Pear Butter planted their own families’ seeds in each other’s farms as a special 00:09:20.640 --> 00:09:22.280 way to seal their vows. 00:09:22.280 --> 00:09:25.320 Both Grand Pear and Granny Smith found out about their wedding 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.340 but the vows had already been sealed. 00:09:27.340 --> 00:09:31.980 After being forced by her father to choose between being an Apple and being a Pear, 00:09:31.980 --> 00:09:34.980 she tearfully decided to stay with the Apples. 00:09:34.980 --> 00:09:38.400 Grand Pear left, angered by his daughter’s decision. 00:09:38.400 --> 00:09:41.100 Bright Mac and Pear Butter went on to have three kids together, 00:09:41.100 --> 00:09:44.120 Big Macintosh, Applejack and Apple Bloom. 00:09:44.120 --> 00:09:46.460 Back in Canterlot, a unicorn named Sunset Shimmer 00:09:46.460 --> 00:09:49.440 enrolled to Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns. 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:54.100 However, her greed and impatience eventually led her to abandon her studies. 00:09:54.100 --> 00:09:57.440 She came across a Crystal Mirror which lead her to another world. 00:09:57.440 --> 00:10:01.899 Princess Celestia left the mirror in her throne room, hoping that one day Sunset Shimmer would 00:10:01.899 --> 00:10:05.220 come back through the mirror to seek her guidance once more. 00:10:05.220 --> 00:10:06.430 One summer sun celebration, 00:10:06.430 --> 00:10:11.860 A young unicorn named Twilight Sparkle witnessed with awe Princess Celestia raising the sun. 00:10:11.860 --> 00:10:14.460 She was inspired to extensively study magic. 00:10:14.470 --> 00:10:17.459 Her parents enrolled her into Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns. 00:10:17.459 --> 00:10:21.730 But to get in, she was required to pass an entrance exam that involved using magic to 00:10:21.730 --> 00:10:23.560 hatch a dragon’s egg. 00:10:23.560 --> 00:10:28.540 After several failed attempts, Twilight was about to give up until a powerful magical 00:10:28.540 --> 00:10:33.160 blast triggered her magic, allowing her to successfully hatch the egg. 00:10:33.160 --> 00:10:38.040 That magical blast came from a legendary phenomenon known as the Sonic Rainboom. 00:10:38.040 --> 00:10:41.720 It was performed in Cloudsdale by a young pegasus named Rainbow Dash 00:10:41.720 --> 00:10:43.440 who was racing through the sky. 00:10:43.450 --> 00:10:48.649 This Sonic Rainboom set in motion a chain of events that caused six ponies across Equestria 00:10:48.649 --> 00:10:53.430 to get their cutie marks, symbols on a pony’s flank that represents what makes them unique. 00:10:53.430 --> 00:10:57.220 Of these ponies were Rainbow Dash, discovering her love of speed and flying 00:10:57.220 --> 00:11:00.360 Twilight Sparkle, discovering her raw magical abilities 00:11:00.360 --> 00:11:03.320 Applejack discovering her love of the country life 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.600 Fluttershy, discovering her love for animals 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:07.740 Rarity, discovering her sense of beauty 00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:10.700 and Pinkie Pie discovering joy and happiness. 00:11:10.709 --> 00:11:14.851 With the help of the Sonic Rainboom, Twilight passed her entrance exam to Celestia’s School 00:11:14.851 --> 00:11:18.660 with outstanding results and became one of her pupils. 00:11:18.660 --> 00:11:22.300 Twilight took in the baby dragon that came from the egg, named him Spike 00:11:22.300 --> 00:11:24.700 and cared for him like her little brother. 00:11:24.710 --> 00:11:28.839 In the outskirts of Equestria, another young unicorn named Fizzlepop Berrytwist had her 00:11:28.839 --> 00:11:32.310 horn broken after being attacked by an Ursa Minor. 00:11:32.310 --> 00:11:37.280 This rendered her magic unstable and dangerous, driving her friends away out of fear. 00:11:37.280 --> 00:11:40.080 Filled with bitterness, she ran away from her hometown. 00:11:40.089 --> 00:11:43.880 Meanwhile, Princess Celestia continued to teach Twilight Sparkle at her school fostering 00:11:43.880 --> 00:11:46.120 her academic and magical abilities. 00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:50.600 However, she noticed that Twilight isolated herself from other ponies, which prevented 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:52.840 her from reaching her full potential. 00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:57.259 The thousandth year since Nightmare moon’s defeat, and that year’s Summer Sun Celebration was 00:11:57.260 --> 00:12:02.920 coming up, and Celestia devised a plan to help Twilight finally make some friends. 00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:07.879 We’re now at the premiere, the point where Friendship is Magic begins. 00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:12.509 Twilight Sparkle stumbles upon a book on “Predictions and Prophecies” during her studies in Canterlot. 00:12:12.509 --> 00:12:15.670 Twilight discovers that the “Mare on the Moon” will return “on the longest day 00:12:15.670 --> 00:12:19.129 of the thousandth year” and bring about everlasting night. 00:12:19.129 --> 00:12:23.019 Twilight writes a letter to warn Princess Celestia, but Celestia soon replies back to 00:12:23.019 --> 00:12:26.889 tell her to focus on making friends and to help out at this year’s Summer Sun Celebrations 00:12:26.889 --> 00:12:29.410 held in Ponyville the next day. 00:12:29.410 --> 00:12:32.829 Celestia sends both Twilight and Spike to Ponyville to check on preparations for the 00:12:32.829 --> 00:12:37.010 celebration and meets Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash who have 00:12:37.010 --> 00:12:39.069 all done their duties for the celebration. 00:12:39.069 --> 00:12:43.350 However, during the celebration, it is found that Celestia has been captured, and the menacing 00:12:43.350 --> 00:12:47.959 Nightmare Moon has returned, showing herself in front of everypony and executing her plan 00:12:47.959 --> 00:12:49.269 for eternal night. 00:12:49.269 --> 00:12:53.360 Twilight Sparkle, upon seeing Nightmare, returns to “Predictions and Prophecies” to find 00:12:53.360 --> 00:12:57.350 that defeating Nightmare Moon requires one to possess the Elements of Harmony, currently 00:12:57.350 --> 00:12:59.000 hidden in the Everfree Forest. 00:12:59.000 --> 00:13:03.300 She plans to seek the Elements herself, only to find the five ponies she met in Ponyville 00:13:03.300 --> 00:13:04.420 following along with her. 00:13:04.420 --> 00:13:08.720 Together they faced obstacle after obstacle, with everypony using their unique abilities 00:13:08.730 --> 00:13:10.290 to pass each one. 00:13:10.290 --> 00:13:14.930 When the six ponies finally find and recover the Elements, Nightmare Moon arrives and destroys 00:13:14.930 --> 00:13:16.880 the Elements right in front of Twilight. 00:13:16.880 --> 00:13:20.920 Then, a spark ignites in Twilight, finally realizing that the spirits of the Elements 00:13:20.920 --> 00:13:25.199 of Harmony are embodied within the five friends she made including herself, each representing 00:13:25.199 --> 00:13:30.389 a certain aspect in friendship, namely Honesty, Kindness, Generosity, Laughter, Loyalty and 00:13:30.389 --> 00:13:34.959 only when those five elements are present does the sixth element appears, Magic. 00:13:34.959 --> 00:13:40.470 The Elements are reborn as gems on necklaces, except Magic, which is forged on a crown. 00:13:40.470 --> 00:13:45.180 The Elements, wielded by the six ponies, create a rainbow-colored blast of magic that vanquishes 00:13:45.180 --> 00:13:48.980 Nightmare Moon, returning her to her original form, Princess Luna. 00:13:48.980 --> 00:13:53.200 Celestia returns with the sunrise and explains that Twilight had the magic to defeat Nightmare Moon 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.850 when she let true friendship into her heart. 00:13:55.850 --> 00:14:00.440 It is then revealed to them that Princess Luna is Princess Celestia’s long lost little sister. 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:04.540 Not wanting to leave Twilight’s newly made friends behind, Princess Celestia assigns 00:14:04.540 --> 00:14:09.590 Twilight a new mission to learn as much about friendship as she can in her new home in Ponyville, 00:14:09.590 --> 00:14:11.240 which Twilight accepts. 00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:14.430 From then on, Twilight lives in Ponyville’s Golden Oak Library. 00:14:14.430 --> 00:14:18.180 Together, Twilight and her friends are known as the Mane 6. 00:14:18.180 --> 00:14:22.800 Twilight begins learning about friendship, sending letters to Celestia about her findings. 00:14:22.800 --> 00:14:27.040 She sees the birth of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, a group of three young ponies who have yet 00:14:27.040 --> 00:14:30.529 to earn their cutie marks on a mission to do what it takes to get theirs. 00:14:30.529 --> 00:14:35.130 A unicorn named Trixie boasting about defeating an Ursa with her magic, only for everypony 00:14:35.130 --> 00:14:38.019 to find that she lied when a real Ursa invaded Ponyville. 00:14:38.019 --> 00:14:40.420 Twilight stepped in to put it back to sleep. 00:14:40.420 --> 00:14:45.140 She sees winter getting wrapped up by the ponies manually as tradition to prepare for the spring. 00:14:45.140 --> 00:14:48.980 Rainbow Dash overcoming all odds to perform her second Sonic Rainboom, 00:14:48.980 --> 00:14:54.760 and attending the Grand Galloping Gala in Canterlot in an evening of unmet expectations and disaster. 00:14:54.760 --> 00:14:59.400 After a minor squabble between the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Discord is suddenly freed from 00:14:59.410 --> 00:15:04.079 his stone state after a thousand years and returns to wreak chaos, turning Ponyville 00:15:04.079 --> 00:15:06.639 into the chaos capital of the world. 00:15:06.640 --> 00:15:10.680 The Mane 6, upon overcoming the challenges Discord has placed, defeats Discord and traps 00:15:10.680 --> 00:15:13.760 him in stone again with the Elements of Harmony. 00:15:13.760 --> 00:15:18.060 Queen Chrysalis, the leader of the dangerous creatures that feed on others’ love called Changelings 00:15:18.060 --> 00:15:21.760 infiltrates Canterlot and takes Princess Cadance's place in her wedding with 00:15:21.769 --> 00:15:25.900 Twilight Sparkle’s older brother, Shining Armor, by using a changeling’s unique ability 00:15:25.900 --> 00:15:28.240 to disguise as any other being. 00:15:28.240 --> 00:15:32.529 Twilight eventually finds the original Princess Cadance trapped in a dungeon and frees her, 00:15:32.529 --> 00:15:35.569 which brings Chrysalis to reveal herself during the wedding. 00:15:35.569 --> 00:15:37.440 Chrysalis and Celestia have a standoff, 00:15:37.440 --> 00:15:40.620 while Twilight and her friends go get the Elements of Harmony. 00:15:40.629 --> 00:15:43.660 Though they had an epic fight, they eventually lost. 00:15:43.660 --> 00:15:47.630 However, with the power of love that the real Princess Cadance brought to Shining Armor, 00:15:47.630 --> 00:15:52.720 they banished all the changelings including Queen Chrysalis to lands far away in one fell swoop. 00:15:53.340 --> 00:15:55.160 They get married afterwards. 00:15:55.500 --> 00:15:59.610 The Crystal Empire reappears after vanishing for a thousand years. 00:15:59.610 --> 00:16:03.889 King Sombra, in a weakened shadow form, attempts to regain control. 00:16:03.889 --> 00:16:08.180 Twilight is sent to the Crystal Empire to help save it as part of a test by Princess Celestia, 00:16:08.180 --> 00:16:10.240 and her friends accompany her. 00:16:10.240 --> 00:16:14.640 After setting up a Crystal Fair to raise the spirits of the Crystal Ponies, Twilight finds 00:16:14.649 --> 00:16:19.019 the Crystal Heart, an ancient relic that protects the empire from the heavy snow of the north 00:16:19.020 --> 00:16:21.060 and sends Spike to deliver it. 00:16:21.060 --> 00:16:24.911 With the Crystal Heart in place, the Crystal Ponies use the "love and light within" them 00:16:24.920 --> 00:16:26.500 to defeat Sombra. 00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:31.240 Princess Cadance is recognized as the "Crystal Princess" and rules the empire with her husband 00:16:31.240 --> 00:16:33.100 Prince Shining Armor. 00:16:33.100 --> 00:16:36.440 Princess Celestia decides to move the Mirror that Sunset Shimmer escaped 00:16:36.440 --> 00:16:40.700 from her throne room to the Crystal Empire to have Princess Cadence watch over it instead. 00:16:40.700 --> 00:16:45.459 As a request by Princess Celestia, Discord is freed once again from his stone prison 00:16:45.459 --> 00:16:50.660 to be reformed, so that his magic can be used for good instead of evil, a feat which Fluttershy 00:16:50.660 --> 00:16:53.519 accomplishes, and Discord is now friends with the ponies. 00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:54.639 (flutter yay) 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:59.660 Twilight Sparkle receives a book from Princess Celestia, which is said to contain Star Swirl’s 00:16:59.660 --> 00:17:01.490 secret unfinished spell. 00:17:01.490 --> 00:17:05.839 This spell, which Twilight casts, unknowingly switches her friends cutie marks, causing 00:17:05.839 --> 00:17:07.640 them to question their destiny. 00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:12.410 Twilight, knowing she needs to fix this, assembles them and cures them one by one. 00:17:12.410 --> 00:17:16.660 Through the adventure, Twilight finally finishes the secret spell and creates new magic. 00:17:16.660 --> 00:17:21.839 This new magic is of course, friendship, which Star Swirl was unable to accomplish long ago. 00:17:21.840 --> 00:17:24.800 The creation of this new magic, earns her a new title of Princess, 00:17:24.800 --> 00:17:27.560 and becomes an Alicorn in the process. 00:17:29.540 --> 00:17:35.420 Twilight Sparkle, now a Princess, attends her very first Princess Summit held in the Crystal Empire. 00:17:35.420 --> 00:17:41.200 While asleep, Sunset Shimmer emerges out of the Crystal Mirror and steals her crown containing 00:17:41.200 --> 00:17:42.990 her Element of Harmony. 00:17:42.990 --> 00:17:47.860 Twilight chases her down into the human world where Twilight becomes a human 00:17:47.860 --> 00:17:50.660 and Spike becomes her dog. 00:17:50.660 --> 00:17:56.880 They arrive at Canterlot High School and meet human counterparts of her friends from Ponyville. 00:17:56.890 --> 00:18:01.530 Twilight finds out that her crown is being used by the school as a prize for the Princess 00:18:01.530 --> 00:18:07.410 of the Fall Formal and decides to compete against Sunset who also wants the crown as 00:18:07.410 --> 00:18:11.380 she knows it contains one of the Elements of Harmony. 00:18:11.380 --> 00:18:16.640 With the help of Twilight’s new human friends, they rally the school to vote for Twilight Sparkle, 00:18:16.640 --> 00:18:18.960 who wins the Fall Formal. 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:25.580 Sunset decides to take matters into her own hands and forcefully steals the crown from Twilight. 00:18:25.900 --> 00:18:31.830 She then transforms into a demon, intending to mind-control the school into an army for 00:18:31.830 --> 00:18:34.960 her to rule Equestria for herself. 00:18:34.960 --> 00:18:42.200 Sunset fires a magical blast at Twilight but she is protected by the magic of her new friendships made. 00:18:42.200 --> 00:18:47.640 This friendship allows Twilight and her friends to transform and “pony-up”, allowing them 00:18:47.640 --> 00:18:53.080 to have the power to defeat Sunset Shimmer, returning her to her human form. 00:18:53.080 --> 00:18:59.660 Sunset is reduced to tears and apologizes, hoping to learn more about friendship from Twilight’s friends. 00:19:00.000 --> 00:19:04.460 Sunset is forced to clean up the mess that she made while Twilight regains her crown 00:19:04.460 --> 00:19:07.460 and goes back to Equestria through the portal. 00:19:07.460 --> 00:19:14.540 The Sirens Adagio, Aria and Sonata, are trapped in the human world as humans after their battle 00:19:14.540 --> 00:19:19.840 against the Pillars long ago and witness Sunset Shimmer’s defeat in the distance. 00:19:19.840 --> 00:19:26.020 Knowing that Equestrian magic is at work, they seek to take control of it once again. 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:31.040 The Summer Sun Celebrations in Canterlot is suddenly disrupted when the plunderseeds that 00:19:31.040 --> 00:19:34.700 Discord planted a millennia ago begin to sprout, invading Equestria 00:19:34.700 --> 00:19:37.760 and capturing Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. 00:19:37.760 --> 00:19:42.870 Twilight, upon drinking a time travelling vision potion, sees the Tree of Harmony. 00:19:42.870 --> 00:19:47.001 Twilight and her friends return the Elements of Harmony to the Tree of Harmony and destroy 00:19:47.001 --> 00:19:51.550 the plunderseeds, releasing Princess Celestia and Princess Luna in the process. 00:19:51.550 --> 00:19:55.980 The tree however, sprouts a chest that has six locks for six keys. 00:19:55.980 --> 00:20:00.360 Celestia and Luna are unsure of how to open it, but tells Twilight that she’ll definitely 00:20:00.370 --> 00:20:03.030 need her friends to help unlock the chest. 00:20:03.030 --> 00:20:07.990 Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Applejack eventually find their keys while 00:20:07.990 --> 00:20:11.050 helping other ponies discover their element of harmony. 00:20:11.050 --> 00:20:14.220 This leaves one key left for Twilight to discover. 00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:18.600 One night, Tirek’s escape from Tartarus was seen in Celestia’s vision and so she 00:20:18.610 --> 00:20:20.330 elects Discord to stop him. 00:20:20.330 --> 00:20:25.240 This plan backfires however, as Discord betrays the princesses and allies with Tirek in his 00:20:25.240 --> 00:20:27.980 plan to steal all of Equestria’s magic. 00:20:27.990 --> 00:20:32.240 The princesses know that stealing alicorn magic would be Tirek’s ultimate goal and 00:20:32.240 --> 00:20:37.090 so they transfer all their magic to Twilight, since Tirek is unaware of the new princess. 00:20:37.090 --> 00:20:41.410 Twilight, who now has the magic of four alicorns, goes into hiding. 00:20:41.410 --> 00:20:44.670 Tirek eventually finds out about Twilight and seeks to find her. 00:20:44.670 --> 00:20:48.920 Tirek then betrays Discord while Twilight continues to practice with her new powers. 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.120 However, she stumbles upon Tirek while teleporting. 00:20:52.120 --> 00:20:56.570 Twilight and Tirek engage in an insane magic duel that leads to the destruction of the 00:20:56.570 --> 00:21:00.060 Golden Oak Library and pretty much the landscape outside Ponyville. 00:21:00.060 --> 00:21:05.860 Tirek then offers Twilight a trade of releasing her imprisoned friends for all the magic in Equestria. 00:21:06.120 --> 00:21:09.220 Twilight agrees despite her friends' protests. 00:21:09.220 --> 00:21:13.860 Discord, repentant of his actions, gives a medallion given to him by Tirek to Twilight 00:21:13.860 --> 00:21:15.920 as a sign of true friendship. 00:21:15.920 --> 00:21:20.060 Believing this to be the final key needed to open the chest, Twilight and her friends 00:21:20.070 --> 00:21:22.860 race to the Tree of Harmony and unlock the chest. 00:21:22.860 --> 00:21:27.440 The unlocked chest gives Twilight and her friends new “Rainbow Power” that derives from their friendship 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:29.320 and locks Tirek back into Tartarus 00:21:29.320 --> 00:21:31.760 as well as bringing everypony’s magic back. 00:21:31.760 --> 00:21:36.540 The chest then flies into the sky and implants itself in a spot near Ponyville. 00:21:36.550 --> 00:21:39.090 The chest then grows into a new castle. 00:21:39.090 --> 00:21:44.140 The new castle is now Twilight’s, now crowned the “Princess of Friendship” by Celestia. 00:21:45.700 --> 00:21:50.360 The Sirens attend Canterlot High and join the school’s musical showcase with their 00:21:50.360 --> 00:21:55.390 band known as The Dazzlings, where they are up against Twilight’s human friends in their 00:21:55.390 --> 00:21:57.720 own band called the Rainbooms, 00:21:57.720 --> 00:22:02.420 who are also helping Sunset recover from the events of the Fall Formal. 00:22:02.420 --> 00:22:07.580 Using their magic, the Sirens manipulate the school into turning the showcase into a battle 00:22:07.590 --> 00:22:12.320 of the bands, which drives the student bands against one another. 00:22:12.320 --> 00:22:18.230 The resulting negative energy from the students feeds The Sirens and grows more powerful. 00:22:18.230 --> 00:22:23.410 Seeing this, Sunset calls Twilight to their world for help using a magical book given 00:22:23.410 --> 00:22:25.820 to her by Princess Celestia. 00:22:25.820 --> 00:22:30.460 Twilight arrives and helps the Rainbooms write a counter-spell in a form of a song that will 00:22:30.460 --> 00:22:32.860 break the Dazzling’s spell. 00:22:32.860 --> 00:22:37.420 After a gruelling battle of the bands among the students and fighting against the magic 00:22:37.430 --> 00:22:42.780 of the Sirens, The Rainbooms emerge as finalists with The Dazzlings and they each play their 00:22:42.780 --> 00:22:46.300 respective songs to power over the other. 00:22:46.300 --> 00:22:52.660 When The Dazzlings are getting the upper hand, Sunset steps in and joins the Rainbooms singing 00:22:52.660 --> 00:22:55.110 in their counter-spell song. 00:22:55.110 --> 00:22:59.780 The combined singing and magic of Sunset, Twilight and her friends 00:22:59.780 --> 00:23:05.120 get them all to “pony up” once again and defeat the Dazzlings. 00:23:05.130 --> 00:23:11.210 Twilight then returns back to Equestria for her duties, while Sunset finally redeems herself 00:23:11.210 --> 00:23:14.250 amongst her fellow schoolmates. 00:23:14.250 --> 00:23:20.070 The energy from the Dazzlings’ defeat is picked up by Twilight Sparkle’s human counterpart 00:23:20.070 --> 00:23:24.260 far away and she seeks to investigate it. 00:23:25.250 --> 00:23:29.820 In the Castle of Friendship, the Mane 6 discovers a map containing all of Equestria. 00:23:29.820 --> 00:23:34.140 The map summons all of them to a small village that houses ponies with equal signs as their 00:23:34.140 --> 00:23:35.610 cutie marks. 00:23:35.610 --> 00:23:39.790 All of this is the work of Starlight Glimmer, a unicorn who believes true friendship is 00:23:39.790 --> 00:23:42.650 achieved through everypony being equal. 00:23:42.650 --> 00:23:47.300 As such, she replaces the Mane 6’s cutie marks, imprisoning and brainwashing them until 00:23:47.300 --> 00:23:49.640 they accept their new equal fate. 00:23:49.640 --> 00:23:53.600 Starlight is then revealed to have not been equalized, and so the entire village goes 00:23:53.600 --> 00:23:56.460 after her and their old cutie marks. 00:23:56.460 --> 00:24:01.220 Seeing her plan foiled, she runs away with the Mane 6’s marks already in her possession 00:24:01.230 --> 00:24:05.650 only to be stopped by the unique talents of the newly recovered villagers, allowing the 00:24:05.650 --> 00:24:07.880 Mane 6 to get their cutie marks back. 00:24:07.880 --> 00:24:10.840 After Twilight’s failed attempt at trying to reason with her, 00:24:10.840 --> 00:24:13.040 Starlight escapes into the caves. 00:24:13.040 --> 00:24:17.470 The village is restored and the inhabitants live happily together with their new marks. 00:24:17.470 --> 00:24:20.230 The map signals a job well done. 00:24:20.230 --> 00:24:24.990 The map continues to summon various pairs of the Mane 6 to various locations to solve 00:24:24.990 --> 00:24:29.460 the friendship problems of not just ponies, but all sorts of creatures across Equestria. 00:24:29.460 --> 00:24:33.060 At the same time, the roots of the destroyed Golden Oak Library are now hung up on the 00:24:33.060 --> 00:24:36.820 ceiling of the new castle as a memoir of how far they have come. 00:24:36.820 --> 00:24:40.600 The Cutie Mark Crusaders eventually get their cutie marks at the exact same time in helping 00:24:40.600 --> 00:24:42.260 others find their purpose in life 00:24:42.260 --> 00:24:45.420 and Princess Cadance and Shining Armor announce that they're having a baby. 00:24:45.420 --> 00:24:49.120 Starlight Glimmer seeks to take revenge on Twilight by travelling back in time with the 00:24:49.121 --> 00:24:53.080 help of an ancient spell to stop the first Sonic Rainboom from happening. 00:24:53.080 --> 00:24:57.530 As a result of Starlight's interference with history, several alternate timelines are created 00:24:57.530 --> 00:25:00.240 that were filled with war, suffering and darkness. 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:04.120 Starlight reveals in her backstory that it was because of her old best friend Sunburst 00:25:04.120 --> 00:25:06.860 getting his cutie mark that she didn’t get to see him again. 00:25:06.860 --> 00:25:11.580 This led to her wanting to develop a society where no one will be judged by a cutie mark. 00:25:11.580 --> 00:25:16.800 Twilight reasons with her, Starlight is reformed and becomes Princess Twilight’s first pupil. 00:25:18.320 --> 00:25:23.560 Canterlot High School hosts the Friendship Games, a quadrennial academic and sports competition 00:25:23.560 --> 00:25:31.460 held between them and Crystal Prep Academy, in which Canterlot High School has consistently lost. 00:25:31.940 --> 00:25:36.280 The Rainbooms soon discover that studying in Crystal Prep is Twilight Sparkle’s human 00:25:36.280 --> 00:25:42.320 counterpart, popularly known as Sci-Twi, along with her very own Spike dog. 00:25:42.320 --> 00:25:47.330 She assembled herself an amulet that is able to let her study a strange energy surrounding 00:25:47.330 --> 00:25:52.000 Canterlot High in hopes of getting into an independent study program. 00:25:52.000 --> 00:25:56.790 Throughout the games, Sci-Twi’s amulet begins to involuntarily absorb the magic of Canterlot 00:25:56.790 --> 00:26:02.180 High and stores it, rendering a few of Sunset’s friends unable to “pony-up”, 00:26:02.180 --> 00:26:06.060 and the mirror to Equestria ineffective. 00:26:06.060 --> 00:26:12.740 The amulet also begins to open rifts into Equestria, giving Spike the sudden ability to speak. 00:26:13.320 --> 00:26:19.800 Sunset reaches out to Princess Twilight in her book for help, but receives no response. 00:26:19.800 --> 00:26:24.780 Crystal Prep’s Principal Cinch has noticed Sci-Twi’s quest to understand the strange 00:26:24.780 --> 00:26:30.700 energy and coerces her along with other students to unleash the magic from the amulet to help 00:26:30.700 --> 00:26:33.840 their team win and save their reputation. 00:26:33.840 --> 00:26:40.600 Sci-Twi opens her amulet, releasing all the magic inside, which engulfs and corrupts Twilight, 00:26:40.600 --> 00:26:46.760 transforming her into a demonous alter ego known as “Midnight Sparkle”. 00:26:46.760 --> 00:26:51.800 With a desire of wanting to understand all of Equestria’s magic, she opens multiple 00:26:51.800 --> 00:26:58.160 rifts into Equestria with her new powers, endangering the students of Canterlot High and Crystal Prep. 00:26:58.880 --> 00:27:04.000 The two schools decide to put aside their rivalry and come to help each other. 00:27:04.000 --> 00:27:09.000 Sunset proceeds to destroy the amulet left on the ground, returning her friends’ magic 00:27:09.000 --> 00:27:14.320 and transforms herself into her angelic alter ego “Daydream Shimmer”. 00:27:14.320 --> 00:27:20.220 The two girls engage in an explosive magical battle, but when Spike calls to Sci-Twi, 00:27:20.220 --> 00:27:25.120 Midnight snaps out of her corrupted trance, allowing Daydream to finally overcome her. 00:27:25.130 --> 00:27:30.800 Daydream offers to Sci-Twi her hand in friendship, after seeing the real power that friendship 00:27:30.800 --> 00:27:35.600 can offer, she accepts the offer and the two return to normal, 00:27:35.600 --> 00:27:38.600 re-appearing in front of the school. 00:27:38.600 --> 00:27:41.500 Sci-Twi shows deep remorse for what she did, 00:27:41.500 --> 00:27:45.600 but Sunset assures her that everyone will forgive her. 00:27:45.600 --> 00:27:50.460 Principal Cinch demands Celestia that Canterlot High forfeit the Friendship Games, threatening 00:27:50.460 --> 00:27:53.380 to take up what has happened with the school board. 00:27:53.380 --> 00:27:58.440 However, she assures her that the school board won’t believe a word she says. 00:27:58.440 --> 00:28:04.480 With Crystal Prep siding with Canterlot High, Cinch walks away with her dignity intact. 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:09.500 Celestia declares everyone a winner of the Games, and Sci-Twi, seeing that the study 00:28:09.500 --> 00:28:15.480 program won’t help her learn anything about friendship, decides to transfer to Canterlot High. 00:28:15.660 --> 00:28:20.010 Later, Princess Twilight pops out from the portal and apologises to Sunset for her late 00:28:20.010 --> 00:28:26.910 reply as she was preoccupied with a time-travel loop from the events of the time travel episode. 00:28:26.910 --> 00:28:31.800 She notices Sci-Twi and stares in shock and confusion. 00:28:33.300 --> 00:28:38.640 Princess Cadance gives birth to Flurry Heart, the first naturally-born Alicorn in Equestria. 00:28:38.640 --> 00:28:43.060 The Mane 6 and the royal sisters travel to the Crystal Empire to help with the new baby’s 00:28:43.060 --> 00:28:46.780 “Crystalling” when suddenly Flurry Heart breaks the Crystal Empire’s Crystal Heart 00:28:46.790 --> 00:28:51.200 and the empire is once again vulnerable to the snow of the arctic north. 00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:54.960 Meanwhile, Starlight reunites with her childhood friend Sunburst. 00:28:54.960 --> 00:28:59.460 Upon being notified of the enveloping snow, Sunburst and Starlight brings to the rest 00:28:59.460 --> 00:29:03.270 a spell to fix the Heart and with the magic of the princesses, Sunburst and the rest of 00:29:03.270 --> 00:29:07.190 the Crystal Empire, the Crystal Heart is restored along with the Empire. 00:29:07.190 --> 00:29:11.420 Soon, a rogue changeling is discovered in the Crystal Empire which causes the whole 00:29:11.420 --> 00:29:13.640 city to go into lockdown. 00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:17.860 Spike eventually finds the starving changeling named Thorax and learns that he is nice and 00:29:17.860 --> 00:29:20.080 different from the other changelings. 00:29:20.080 --> 00:29:25.380 Spike eventually persuades the Crystal Empire to accept the changeling into the family and succeeds. 00:29:25.940 --> 00:29:30.360 Starlight continues her apprenticeship under Twilight, adapting into her new life and making 00:29:30.360 --> 00:29:33.120 new friends such as Twilight’s old rival Trixie. 00:29:33.120 --> 00:29:37.280 While Starlight and Trixie were away from Ponyville, Queen Chrysalis returns with her 00:29:37.280 --> 00:29:42.020 army of changelings, effectively capturing all of the most powerful ponies in Equestria 00:29:42.020 --> 00:29:46.440 including Twilight and her friends, leaving Starlight with only Trixie, Thorax and Discord 00:29:46.440 --> 00:29:48.700 to rescue them from the Changeling Hive. 00:29:48.700 --> 00:29:52.740 Discord and Trixie fall into the changelings’ traps and are captured while Starlight and 00:29:52.750 --> 00:29:57.270 Thorax make it into the throne room only to come face to face with Chrysalis. 00:29:57.270 --> 00:30:01.860 Chrysalis proceeds to drain the love from Thorax that he has collected from the Crystal Empire. 00:30:01.860 --> 00:30:04.160 Unable to hold onto the love inside him, 00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.380 Starlight instead tells him to share it with Chrysalis willingly. 00:30:07.380 --> 00:30:10.860 This transforms Thorax into a new colorful form. 00:30:10.860 --> 00:30:14.600 The other changelings follow suit, sharing love instead of stealing it, 00:30:14.600 --> 00:30:17.160 taking on similar colorful forms. 00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:22.080 The resulting magical energy destroys Chrysalis’s throne, and the ponies that the changelings 00:30:22.080 --> 00:30:23.960 captured are all freed. 00:30:23.960 --> 00:30:28.100 While the changelings changed, Chrysalis did not and rejects Starlight’s offer to reform 00:30:28.100 --> 00:30:32.260 and swears inconceivable revenge upon her before flying away. 00:30:33.920 --> 00:30:37.960 The students of Canterlot High go on a camp at Camp Everfree. 00:30:37.960 --> 00:30:44.460 There they meet the camp director Gloriosa Daisy and her brother Timber Spruce. 00:30:44.460 --> 00:30:50.080 During a campfire, Timber Spruce tells the legend of Gaea Everfree, an ancient spirit 00:30:50.090 --> 00:30:56.010 who held domain of the forest until Gloriosa and Timber’s great-grandparents came to 00:30:56.010 --> 00:31:02.240 establish a camp which upset Gaea and wanted to claim the land back for herself. 00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:06.960 It is revealed that he told the story as a cover up for Gloriosa, who have stirred some 00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:11.440 trouble with the power of magical geodes she found in a cave. 00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:16.280 She believes that with the power in the geodes, she could save her camp from being taken over 00:31:16.280 --> 00:31:21.060 by Filthy Rich whom she had fallen behind on her payments to. 00:31:21.060 --> 00:31:28.320 However, Timber told her to let it go as she had not mastered her new powers completely. 00:31:28.320 --> 00:31:33.240 Meanwhile, Sunset, Sci-Twi and the rest of the Rainbooms themselves discover they have 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:36.000 developed new magical powers too. 00:31:36.000 --> 00:31:41.460 Sci-Twi has telekinesis, Sunset upon physical contact can read into people’s minds, 00:31:41.460 --> 00:31:47.960 Rarity can conjure shields, Applejack has super strength, Pinkie Pie has exploding sprinkles, 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:53.440 Fluttershy can actually communicate with animals and Rainbow Dash has super speed. 00:31:53.440 --> 00:31:59.300 While confronting Gloriosa, Sunset uses her newfound powers and discovers Gloriosa’s 00:31:59.300 --> 00:32:04.440 use of the geodes, informing her to stop using the magic of the geodes before it becomes 00:32:04.450 --> 00:32:07.060 too much for her to control. 00:32:07.060 --> 00:32:12.480 Soon the magic corrupts Gloriosa and transforms her into a she-demon 00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:16.200 similar to Sunset and Sci-Twi’s. 00:32:16.200 --> 00:32:23.240 With her new powers, Gloriosa traps the entire camp in vines vowing to keep it open and protect 00:32:23.250 --> 00:32:28.950 everyone within its walls, oblivious that her powers are instilling fear in the students 00:32:28.950 --> 00:32:30.800 of Canterlot High. 00:32:30.800 --> 00:32:35.090 The Rainbooms pony-up, except for Sci-Twi who fears Midnight Sparkle will take control 00:32:35.090 --> 00:32:36.660 of her once again. 00:32:36.660 --> 00:32:41.320 After some reassurance and support from her friends, she conquers her fears and embraces 00:32:41.320 --> 00:32:44.380 the magic of friendship within her and ponies up. 00:32:44.380 --> 00:32:49.460 With the combined power of all of the Rainbooms, they defeat Gloriosa and her vines. 00:32:49.460 --> 00:32:53.820 The Geodes are then reformed into necklaces worn by the Rainbooms. 00:32:53.820 --> 00:32:58.380 Seeing Gloriosa’s plan to save the camp failed, Canterlot High holds a Crystal Ball 00:32:58.380 --> 00:33:02.360 fundraiser and successfully saves the camp from being sold. 00:33:02.360 --> 00:33:07.560 However, Sunset confesses to wondering where the magic of the geodes comes from. 00:33:07.560 --> 00:33:12.920 It is revealed that a crack has formed on the portal to Equestria back in CHS and magic 00:33:12.930 --> 00:33:15.750 from Equestria continues to leak through. 00:33:15.750 --> 00:33:20.130 The Rainbooms continue to raise funds for Camp Everfree until Rarity proposes to enter 00:33:20.130 --> 00:33:23.660 a Music Video contest together with the students at Crystal Prep. 00:33:23.660 --> 00:33:28.880 Together as the “Crystal Rainbooms” they win the music video contest by tapping into 00:33:28.890 --> 00:33:31.150 each team’s special talents. 00:33:31.150 --> 00:33:36.000 The prize money is split between the schools, with half going to Camp Everfree and the other 00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:39.680 to the two schools’ maritime spring dance. 00:33:39.680 --> 00:33:45.900 The Rainbooms are then invited to Canter Zoom’s film studio as thanks for saving Camp Everfree 00:33:45.900 --> 00:33:52.220 but soon find out someone is intentionally sabotaging Canter Zoom’s movie production. 00:33:52.220 --> 00:33:57.860 After a big round of hunting down the culprit, the gang deduces that Canter Zoom’s niece 00:33:57.860 --> 00:34:03.390 and personal gofer, Juniper Montage is behind all this. 00:34:03.390 --> 00:34:08.060 Juniper admits that she resents her uncle for not casting her as the main star in his 00:34:08.060 --> 00:34:12.050 movie and seeks to jeopardize the film’s production. 00:34:12.050 --> 00:34:16.690 Juniper is then banned by her uncle from the studio. 00:34:16.690 --> 00:34:21.060 Juniper now works as a movie theater usher and blames it on the Rainbooms for denying 00:34:21.060 --> 00:34:23.500 her a chance into stardom. 00:34:23.500 --> 00:34:29.679 A stray wisp of Equestrian magic lands on a hand mirror besides Juniper, allowing her 00:34:29.679 --> 00:34:35.429 to see a vision of herself as a famous movie star and becomes obsessed with it. 00:34:35.429 --> 00:34:39.630 Meanwhile Sunset has begun to run out of pages in her book to Twilight. 00:34:39.630 --> 00:34:44.070 Twilight then writes back to Sunset, telling her to return to Equestria. 00:34:44.070 --> 00:34:49.060 Using the portal, she enters the Castle of Friendship and meets Starlight Glimmer who 00:34:49.060 --> 00:34:50.740 gives her a new book. 00:34:50.740 --> 00:34:56.080 Starlight becomes curious and coerces Sunset to follow her back to the human world. 00:34:56.080 --> 00:35:01.540 Sunset hesitantly agrees, seeing that she has never run into Starlight’s human counterpart before. 00:35:02.100 --> 00:35:06.520 While Starlight adjusts herself into the human world, Juniper begins to trap the Rainbooms 00:35:06.520 --> 00:35:08.500 into her magic mirror. 00:35:08.500 --> 00:35:12.990 The magic from the geodes that are now trapped with the Rainbooms corrupts Juniper and turns 00:35:12.990 --> 00:35:16.400 her into (yet another) she-demon. 00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:21.460 Starlight eventually meets the rampaging Juniper and begins to reason with her, saying that 00:35:21.470 --> 00:35:26.340 she saw her past self that is full of revenge in Juniper and people will forgive her if 00:35:26.340 --> 00:35:29.980 she makes up for them, starting with setting her friends free. 00:35:29.980 --> 00:35:34.940 Juniper realises her mistake, releases the Rainbooms and returns to normal. 00:35:34.940 --> 00:35:39.580 Seeing Juniper giving a sincere apology, they all become her new friends. 00:35:41.160 --> 00:35:46.960 Starlight, Trixie, Discord and Thorax are awarded “Pink Hearts of Courage” by Twilight 00:35:46.970 --> 00:35:52.450 for their heroism during the changeling invasion and Starlight graduates from being Twilight’s 00:35:52.450 --> 00:35:55.960 student but continues to stay in Twilight’s castle. 00:35:55.960 --> 00:36:01.800 Sunburst discovers Star Swirl’s lost journal in an antique store in Ponyville and learns 00:36:01.800 --> 00:36:07.660 that Star Swirl and the Pillars are still trapped in limbo and alerts the Mane 6 and Starlight. 00:36:07.880 --> 00:36:13.640 Without much thought, they gather the artefacts of the Pillars to Ponhenge and free Star Swirl 00:36:13.650 --> 00:36:18.680 and the Pillars, as well as the Pony of Shadows from limbo. 00:36:18.680 --> 00:36:19.360 (facehoof) 00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:24.020 Twilight soon finds a spell that could send the Pony of Shadows back to limbo without 00:36:24.030 --> 00:36:29.160 sacrificing the Pillars using the combined magic of the Pillar’s artefacts and the 00:36:29.160 --> 00:36:34.190 magic of the Elements of Harmony contained from the Tree that grew from the seed the 00:36:34.190 --> 00:36:36.220 Pillars have planted. 00:36:36.220 --> 00:36:41.380 The whole team goes to find the Pony of Shadows and opens the portal. 00:36:41.380 --> 00:36:45.740 While the Pony the Shadows is being pushed into the portal by the magic of the artefacts 00:36:45.740 --> 00:36:52.190 and Elements, Twilight sees Stygian’s true form within the darkness and flies inside. 00:36:52.190 --> 00:36:58.800 Twilight finds Stygian despairing over his friends' betrayal and only wanted their respect. 00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:05.010 He explains his motives behind taking their artefacts and the Pillars overhear their conversation, 00:37:05.010 --> 00:37:07.140 realising their misunderstanding. 00:37:07.140 --> 00:37:12.360 The Mane 6 and The Pillars of Old Equestia work together to pull Stygian from the darkness 00:37:12.360 --> 00:37:17.370 with their magic and the darkness gets sucked into the portal to limbo. 00:37:17.370 --> 00:37:23.470 Soon, Star Swirl is reunited with his old pupils, Celestia and Luna, and The Pillars 00:37:23.470 --> 00:37:27.300 decide to each see what has become of their old homes. 00:37:27.300 --> 00:37:32.520 Princess Twilight oversees Equestria’s first Friendship Festival in Canterlot when it is 00:37:32.530 --> 00:37:39.270 suddenly disrupted by the evil Storm King’s attack, led by a unicorn with a broken horn 00:37:39.270 --> 00:37:46.370 named Tempest Shadow who manages to capture Celestia, Luna and Cadance, turning them into 00:37:46.370 --> 00:37:48.770 stone using a magical orb. 00:37:48.770 --> 00:37:55.700 However, all four princesses’ magic is required to channel into the Staff of Sacanas for it to work. 00:37:55.700 --> 00:38:01.480 Storm King agrees to fix Tempest’s horn if she could gather the last princess. 00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:07.350 The Mane 6 flee south of Equestria and makes contact with the Hippogriffs, transformed 00:38:07.350 --> 00:38:11.480 into seaponies in the underwater kingdom of Seaquestria, 00:38:11.480 --> 00:38:14.560 to hide from the wrath of the Storm King. 00:38:14.560 --> 00:38:20.620 Along the way they also make new friends such as Capper a charming but cunning cat, the 00:38:20.620 --> 00:38:28.800 crew of Captain Caleano and Princess Skystar, the daughter of Queen Novo, ruler of the Hippogriffs. 00:38:28.810 --> 00:38:33.720 Together, they launch a Trojan horse cake attack into Canterlot. 00:38:33.720 --> 00:38:39.760 The Storm King eventually betrays Tempest, but Twilight steps in and saves her, inspiring 00:38:39.760 --> 00:38:46.540 her to protect the Mane Six from the Storm King, who then turns himself to stone and shatters. 00:38:46.920 --> 00:38:52.670 Twilight brings Tempest and the Princesses back using the Staff and magically repairs 00:38:52.670 --> 00:38:56.710 Canterlot, ready to start the Friendship Festival once again. 00:38:56.710 --> 00:39:02.650 Tempest, now friends with Twilight and the ponies turns her once destructive magic into 00:39:02.650 --> 00:39:09.740 fireworks for the festival and reveals that her real name is Fizzlepop Berrytwist. 00:39:11.220 --> 00:39:16.100 One of the students of CHS, Wallflower Blush grows resentful of the attention Sunset Shimmer 00:39:16.100 --> 00:39:20.180 gets after making friends as she herself has always been ignored 00:39:20.180 --> 00:39:23.080 and unnoticed by the other students. 00:39:23.080 --> 00:39:27.790 She stumbles upon the Memory Stone left behind by the sorceress chased by Clover the Clever 00:39:27.790 --> 00:39:33.120 thousands of years ago in Equestria and uses it on Sunset’s friends, erasing their memories 00:39:33.120 --> 00:39:37.060 of Sunset when she was bad before the Fall Formal. 00:39:37.060 --> 00:39:41.570 Sunset decides to seek help from Princess Twilight in Equestria and reunites with her 00:39:41.570 --> 00:39:46.240 former mentor Princess Celestia, finally making amends with her. 00:39:46.240 --> 00:39:51.660 Princess Celestia then brings Sunset and Twilight to the restricted section of the Canterlot 00:39:51.660 --> 00:39:57.080 Library where they find the writings of Clover the Clever and the Memory Stone. 00:39:57.080 --> 00:40:02.280 Returning to the human world, Sunset grows suspicious of Wallflower and uses her powers 00:40:02.290 --> 00:40:06.600 to discover that Wallflower used the Memory Stone on her friends. 00:40:06.600 --> 00:40:10.580 Wallflower then erases that moment from Sunset as soon as she discovers it. 00:40:10.580 --> 00:40:15.840 But learning from the tricks of Clover the Clever, she was able to outsmart the Memory Stone 00:40:15.840 --> 00:40:19.120 and gather her friends to destroy it. 00:40:19.120 --> 00:40:24.870 Wallflower feels deeply ashamed and apologizes, while Sunset apologizes to her for making 00:40:24.870 --> 00:40:27.640 her feel invisible for all these years. 00:40:27.640 --> 00:40:31.770 Wallflower then gains the Rainbooms as her new friends. 00:40:31.770 --> 00:40:36.740 The Mane 7 and several of their Canterlot High School classmates are on a luxury cruise 00:40:36.740 --> 00:40:42.720 liner, when they suddenly encounter Equestrian magic causing a storm that is sinking the ship. 00:40:43.240 --> 00:40:50.200 Sunset, Sci-Twi and Rainbow seek to investigate and discover another portal to Equestria in 00:40:50.210 --> 00:40:53.140 some quicksand on a remote island. 00:40:53.140 --> 00:40:58.350 Sunset quickly finds Princess Twilight who shows them the Staff of Sacanas and their 00:40:58.350 --> 00:41:00.200 battle with the Storm King. 00:41:00.200 --> 00:41:04.460 Rainbow recognises the insignia from the storm on the cruise earlier and so they all rush 00:41:04.460 --> 00:41:06.380 back to save them. 00:41:06.380 --> 00:41:12.140 Possessing the Staff of Sacanas, Sunset, Rainbow and Sci-Twi absorb and seal the rest of the 00:41:12.140 --> 00:41:15.460 Storm King’s magic, causing the storm to subside. 00:41:15.460 --> 00:41:19.820 All cruise guests are rescued thanks to the magic of the Mane 7 00:41:19.820 --> 00:41:22.580 but are now stranded on the remote island. 00:41:22.590 --> 00:41:29.020 Sunset proposes a weird idea, and so all the guests travel back to the school through Equestria 00:41:29.020 --> 00:41:30.780 using the portals. 00:41:32.680 --> 00:41:37.720 After her journey beyond Equestria, Twilight realises that there are so many creatures 00:41:37.720 --> 00:41:41.200 beyond Equestria who know nothing about friendship. 00:41:41.200 --> 00:41:47.480 With provisional approval from the Equestrian Education Association, or EEA, the School 00:41:47.490 --> 00:41:53.420 of Friendship is officially opened near Twilight’s castle, teaching students from all over Equestria 00:41:53.420 --> 00:41:55.640 the Magic of Friendship 00:41:55.640 --> 00:41:58.060 Students such as Gallus the griffon, 00:41:58.060 --> 00:41:59.081 Yona the yak, 00:41:59.081 --> 00:42:00.360 Smolder the dragon 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:04.160 Ocellus the changeling and Silverstream the hippogriff. 00:42:04.160 --> 00:42:09.600 They all make friends with an earth pony named Sandbar and got along pretty quickly. 00:42:09.600 --> 00:42:12.869 Together, they are known as the Young Six. 00:42:12.869 --> 00:42:18.770 However, Chancellor Neighsay of the EEA proclaims the non-pony races in Twilight’s school 00:42:18.770 --> 00:42:24.320 as dangerous and made clear his point when the Young Six caused a ruckus during Friends 00:42:24.320 --> 00:42:29.080 and Family Day, causing him to shut down the School of Friendship with a magical lock on 00:42:29.080 --> 00:42:30.460 its doors. 00:42:30.460 --> 00:42:35.440 After some reassurance from her friends, Twilight re-gathers the non-pony students and their 00:42:35.440 --> 00:42:40.080 respective guardians to the gates of the School of Friendship to bring down 00:42:40.080 --> 00:42:44.560 Chancellor Neighsay’s lock, bringing to them his attention. 00:42:44.560 --> 00:42:51.300 Twilight argues that her school may not be an EEA-accredited school, it is a friendship school 00:42:51.300 --> 00:42:55.720 and requires its own set of rules independent of the EEA. 00:42:55.730 --> 00:43:01.390 Neighsay insists that changing the rules for such a diverse group of students will not work, 00:43:01.390 --> 00:43:07.420 but Celestia argues the same thing was once thought about earth ponies, unicorns, and pegasi. 00:43:07.420 --> 00:43:12.920 In the end, Chancellor Neighsay still refuses to believe in Twilight and leaves the school 00:43:12.920 --> 00:43:16.760 grounds in a rage and the school is officially reopened. 00:43:16.760 --> 00:43:22.140 As a result of a dragon’s molting, Spike grows a new pair of wings. 00:43:22.150 --> 00:43:26.590 A young pegasus named Cozy Glow enrols into the school of friendship. 00:43:26.590 --> 00:43:32.470 Cozy becomes aware of the raw power of the magic of friendship and conspires a plan with 00:43:32.470 --> 00:43:37.710 Lord Tirek who is still locked in Tartarus, while continuing her studies in the School 00:43:37.710 --> 00:43:42.560 of Friendship, gaining the trust of the other students and Headmare Twilight. 00:43:42.560 --> 00:43:47.810 She secretly steals various magical artefacts from the school of friendship and uses them 00:43:47.810 --> 00:43:54.590 to drain all the magic of Equestria, at first rendering all potent unicorn magic ineffective. 00:43:54.590 --> 00:43:59.390 When the Mane Six are alerted to the sudden disappearance of magic, they visit Lord Tirek 00:43:59.390 --> 00:44:03.340 in Tartarus, leaving Starlight in charge of the School of Friendship 00:44:03.340 --> 00:44:05.880 and Cozy Glow is not fond of it. 00:44:05.880 --> 00:44:11.260 She tricks Starlight and traps her within a bubble containing all the magic of Equestria. 00:44:11.260 --> 00:44:16.200 However, Chancellor Neighsay, believing the loss of magic is the result of the non-pony 00:44:16.210 --> 00:44:21.480 creatures in the School of Friendship, steals the role of school principal before Cozy could 00:44:21.480 --> 00:44:25.780 and redeclares his stance of the school being for ponies only. 00:44:25.780 --> 00:44:30.630 Cozy Glow argues that Princess Celestia supports Twilight’s beliefs in making a friendship 00:44:30.630 --> 00:44:35.030 school for all creatures, and once threatened to close the school down. 00:44:35.030 --> 00:44:40.400 This incites a full-blown student uprising, throwing him off his role as principal. 00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:45.630 With no one left to oppose her, Cozy Glow declares herself the principal of the school. 00:44:45.630 --> 00:44:50.520 The Young Six follow Cozy Glow to a chamber underneath the school where they discover 00:44:50.520 --> 00:44:53.150 where all the magic has disappeared to. 00:44:53.150 --> 00:44:58.740 Meanwhile, the Mane Six learns of Cozy’s and Tirek’s plan straight from the centaur’s mouth 00:44:58.740 --> 00:45:01.560 but got themselves locked in Tartarus. 00:45:01.560 --> 00:45:06.280 In order to escape, the trapped creatures of Tartarus transfer their remaining magic 00:45:06.280 --> 00:45:09.000 to Twilight to open the gates. 00:45:09.000 --> 00:45:14.260 The Young Six attempt to remove the artefacts to release the magic, but not before Cozy 00:45:14.260 --> 00:45:18.590 manipulates the students into thinking the Young Six are responsible for the disappearing 00:45:18.590 --> 00:45:21.940 magic and plan to destroy the school by releasing it. 00:45:21.940 --> 00:45:27.090 Just as all hope seems lost, the spirit of the Tree of Harmony, which has been living 00:45:27.090 --> 00:45:32.119 beneath the school all this time, lights up the chambers and rescues the Young Six from 00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:34.420 falling into Cozy’s trap. 00:45:34.420 --> 00:45:38.960 They then remove the artefacts and release all the trapped magic returning them to their 00:45:38.960 --> 00:45:40.480 rightful owners. 00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:45.980 Seeing her magic restored, Twilight teleports the rest of the Mane Six back to the school. 00:45:45.990 --> 00:45:51.480 Cozy escapes the chambers but returns to an angry Mane Six, where she is then apprehended 00:45:51.480 --> 00:45:56.160 by Royal Guards and locked in Tartarus together with Lord Tirek. 00:45:56.160 --> 00:46:01.080 With magic restored by the friendship of the Young Six, Chancellor Neighsay admits that 00:46:01.080 --> 00:46:06.530 he was wrong to see that non-ponies were incapable of friendship and returns the role of principal 00:46:06.530 --> 00:46:07.740 to Twilight. 00:46:07.740 --> 00:46:12.160 Assigned to give Twilight a gift for the Mane Six’s “Hearthswarming Helper”, 00:46:12.160 --> 00:46:17.360 Pinkie stumbles upon a trio of reindeer known as the Gift Givers of the Grove and prepares 00:46:17.369 --> 00:46:19.890 her a present for Twilight. 00:46:19.890 --> 00:46:24.350 Pinkie looks at the gift and doesn’t get it, but the reindeer chant a rhyme that says 00:46:24.350 --> 00:46:29.110 the best gift is more precious than gold, but cannot be sold; 00:46:29.110 --> 00:46:32.960 when it breaks, it’s not ended, for quickly it’s mended; 00:46:32.960 --> 00:46:36.760 and it can never be bought yet is easily sought. 00:46:36.760 --> 00:46:42.160 After giving their gifts, Pinkie recalls the rhyme and Twilight recognizes the riddle and 00:46:42.170 --> 00:46:46.230 reveals that the best gift someone can give is friendship. 00:46:46.230 --> 00:46:51.200 The Mane Six follows Rainbow Dash as she is invited to Hope Hollow's Rainbow Festival, 00:46:51.200 --> 00:46:56.040 but are surprised to see the town's emptiness and literal lack of color. 00:46:56.040 --> 00:47:01.450 The town's mayor Sunny Skies then admits that there used to be a Rainbow Festival that celebrated 00:47:01.450 --> 00:47:05.420 the town's togetherness with the help of a magical Rainbow Generator 00:47:05.420 --> 00:47:07.380 creating rainbows in the sky. 00:47:07.380 --> 00:47:12.869 Over the years however, the townsponies slowly drifted apart and the mayor wanted to give 00:47:12.869 --> 00:47:18.060 the Rainbow Festival the extra spark it needed to bring ponies together again. 00:47:18.060 --> 00:47:22.690 He made alterations to the Generator to generate a bigger rainbow. 00:47:22.690 --> 00:47:27.630 Unfortunately, the magic of the Generator overloaded, causing the town’s color to 00:47:27.630 --> 00:47:32.100 disappear and the townsponies drifted even further apart. 00:47:32.100 --> 00:47:36.180 Inviting Rainbow Dash to this year’s festival was his last resort. 00:47:36.180 --> 00:47:41.560 The Mane Six tries various ways to bring the color back using magic but nothing works. 00:47:41.560 --> 00:47:46.740 After talking to several of the townsponies however, the Mane Six slowly restores the 00:47:46.750 --> 00:47:51.550 town’s friendships, and its color, bringing the town back together again for one more 00:47:51.550 --> 00:47:53.119 Rainbow Festival. 00:47:53.120 --> 00:47:57.000 Apparently the loss of color was not the result of the Generator, 00:47:57.000 --> 00:47:59.180 but the lack of hope in the town. 00:47:59.180 --> 00:48:04.160 The overloaded Generator was just the last straw that turned the whole town grey. 00:48:04.160 --> 00:48:10.040 After giving the Generator a quick fix, it once again showered the town with a rainbow, 00:48:10.040 --> 00:48:12.800 filling the rest of the town’s color back. 00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:17.960 Thanks in part to the efforts of the Mane Six in maintaining peace and harmony in Equestria 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:23.080 for the last few years, Princess Celestia and Luna announce their retirement, 00:48:23.080 --> 00:48:26.780 with Twilight Sparkle taking over as their replacement. 00:48:26.780 --> 00:48:29.420 Twilight doesn’t take the news too lightly. 00:48:29.420 --> 00:48:34.859 She plans to handover the School of Friendship to Starlight as she prepares for her coronation. 00:48:34.859 --> 00:48:40.230 To help boost Twilight’s confidence in ascending to the throne, Discord comes up with a plan 00:48:40.230 --> 00:48:46.740 and disguises himself as the ancient monster Grogar, restores King Sombra and teleports 00:48:46.740 --> 00:48:52.990 Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow to a remote part of Equestria. 00:48:52.990 --> 00:48:58.460 He plans to “attack” Twilight’s coronation, and restore her confidence after defeating 00:48:58.460 --> 00:49:00.270 all the villains. 00:49:00.270 --> 00:49:03.280 King Sombra refuses to join the other villains, 00:49:03.280 --> 00:49:06.980 but Grogar gives him a chance to prove himself anyway. 00:49:06.980 --> 00:49:12.640 Sombra swiftly re-invades the Crystal Empire, but the Mane Six eventually catches up to 00:49:12.640 --> 00:49:16.440 him and liberate the Empire with the Elements of Harmony. 00:49:16.440 --> 00:49:22.270 However, Sombra follows the Mane Six back to the Tree of Harmony and destroys it along 00:49:22.270 --> 00:49:24.420 with the Elements of Harmony. 00:49:24.420 --> 00:49:31.420 Sombra proceeds to mind control all of Equestria to take Princess Celestia and Luna off the throne. 00:49:31.420 --> 00:49:36.740 The Mane Six, the Princesses and Star Swirl put up a fight against the mind controlled 00:49:36.750 --> 00:49:43.420 ponies, alongside battling the growing Everfree Forest and eventually made it to the Canterlot 00:49:43.420 --> 00:49:46.190 throne room where Sombra awaits them. 00:49:46.190 --> 00:49:51.260 With some reassurance from Discord, Twilight realises the power to defeat Sombra does not 00:49:51.260 --> 00:49:55.700 come from the Elements but from each of her friends being together. 00:49:55.700 --> 00:49:59.300 Their Magic of Friendship then eradicates Sombra to dust 00:49:59.300 --> 00:50:02.280 and frees all the ponies from his control. 00:50:02.280 --> 00:50:09.260 Grogar makes his next move by trying desperately to make Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy work together 00:50:09.260 --> 00:50:14.260 for his plan to retrieve his Bewitching Bell atop Mount Everhoof. 00:50:14.260 --> 00:50:17.580 They are successful, but decide to keep it a secret 00:50:17.580 --> 00:50:20.780 as they come up with a plan to betray Grogar. 00:50:20.780 --> 00:50:26.480 In anticipation of the Princesses’ retirement, Twilight creates the Festival of the Two Sisters 00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:32.040 to replace the Summer Sun Celebrations, in recognition of the contributions by the Princesses 00:50:32.040 --> 00:50:34.540 for over a thousand years. 00:50:34.540 --> 00:50:40.380 Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy sneak into the Canterlot Archives to steal a book about the Bewitching 00:50:40.380 --> 00:50:46.860 Bell and turn various ponies against themselves, giving them an idea to incite a race war, 00:50:46.860 --> 00:50:49.340 weakening the harmony of Equestria. 00:50:49.340 --> 00:50:54.660 Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy eventually learn to use the Bewitching Bell and transfers its 00:50:54.660 --> 00:50:58.500 stored magic onto themselves, making each of them stronger. 00:50:58.500 --> 00:51:04.680 They turn on Grogar with the bell, effectively stealing Discord’s magic and his disguise. 00:51:04.680 --> 00:51:08.480 Discord quickly escapes to warn the Mane Six and the princesses. 00:51:08.480 --> 00:51:14.460 Despite his warning, the three villains eventually caught on to them, destroying most of Canterlot 00:51:14.460 --> 00:51:20.970 and capturing the Mane Six, the Princesses, Starlight, Spike and the Pillars, but not 00:51:20.970 --> 00:51:24.180 before Twilight was able to make a daring escape. 00:51:24.180 --> 00:51:29.640 Discord wanting make it up to his mistakes, tricks the villains into releasing Starlight, 00:51:29.640 --> 00:51:35.840 who then frees the rest of the Mane Six where they find Twilight seeking refuge in the Crystal Empire. 00:51:35.860 --> 00:51:41.700 They witnessed the various pony races turning cold to one another as a result of the villains plan, 00:51:41.700 --> 00:51:45.340 and as such the Windigos make their return. 00:51:45.340 --> 00:51:50.720 With the three villains, ponies turning against each other and the Windigos, it seems all 00:51:50.720 --> 00:51:54.040 hope is lost for the soon to be ruler of Equestria. 00:51:54.040 --> 00:51:58.980 Thanks to her friends and the royal family, Twilight gets back up again, bringing the 00:51:58.980 --> 00:52:02.770 fight to the Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy once more. 00:52:02.770 --> 00:52:09.080 It was an epic fight but at the end, the Griffons, Changelings, Hippogriffs, Dragons, Yaks and 00:52:09.080 --> 00:52:13.980 all pony races all show up to join and help the Mane Six, 00:52:13.980 --> 00:52:16.780 united thanks to the friendships of the Young Six. 00:52:16.780 --> 00:52:22.850 With a final blast of rainbow magic, Twilight restores the villains to their original strength 00:52:22.850 --> 00:52:25.220 and brings everyone’s magic back, 00:52:25.220 --> 00:52:29.420 but not before Pinkie gets a taste of Discord’s magic. 00:52:29.420 --> 00:52:34.640 Twilight decides to postpone her coronation, to assist in the reconstruction of Canterlot. 00:52:34.640 --> 00:52:39.060 Once Canterlot is rebuilt, Twilight’s coronation begins. 00:52:39.060 --> 00:52:43.980 Despite her thoughts of leaving her friends and Ponyville behind, and some hiccups along 00:52:43.980 --> 00:52:48.800 the way, Twilight is officially crowned the ruler of Equestria, 00:52:48.800 --> 00:52:52.760 while Celestia and Luna retire to Silver Shoals. 00:52:52.770 --> 00:52:58.560 As her first decree as ruler, she establishes the Council of Friendship with her friends, 00:52:58.560 --> 00:53:03.920 to gather every moon to keep in touch and face problems and threats to Equestria. 00:53:04.160 --> 00:53:09.560 Many years pass and Princess Twilight has long settled in her throne, ruling Equestria 00:53:09.560 --> 00:53:15.580 with harmony and friendship with creatures everywhere settling and roaming Canterlot. 00:53:15.580 --> 00:53:20.720 She inherits Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns and oversees her students, 00:53:20.720 --> 00:53:24.119 including her top student Luster Dawn. 00:53:24.119 --> 00:53:29.070 One day, Luster questions her curriculum’s focus on making friends and wants to set up 00:53:29.070 --> 00:53:31.450 an independent course of study. 00:53:31.450 --> 00:53:34.680 She refers to Twilight’s coronation being a disaster 00:53:34.680 --> 00:53:37.620 and as such caused her friends to drift away. 00:53:37.630 --> 00:53:42.950 Twilight is reminded of her own self back when she was a student of Celestia, underestimating 00:53:42.950 --> 00:53:44.840 the magic of friendship. 00:53:44.840 --> 00:53:50.390 She reveals to Luster that despite everything, her friends did not grow apart, but it takes 00:53:50.390 --> 00:53:55.790 work to maintain them, and life would be much easier with friends by your side. 00:53:55.790 --> 00:54:01.580 Luster takes her mentor’s words to heart, but is unsure how to start making friends. 00:54:01.580 --> 00:54:07.160 Twilight takes Luster to where it all began, in Ponyville, and immediately starts making 00:54:07.160 --> 00:54:09.220 friends with the ponies in town. 00:54:09.220 --> 00:54:13.680 She introduces her to the school of friendship which is still up and running thanks to 00:54:13.680 --> 00:54:16.800 headmare Starlight and vice headmare Sunburst, 00:54:16.800 --> 00:54:20.440 with the CMCs and a few of the Young Six becoming teachers. 00:54:20.600 --> 00:54:25.060 At the end of the day, Luster makes friends with all sorts of creatures, 00:54:25.060 --> 00:54:29.280 with the Mane Six bidding her farewell onto her own adventures, 00:54:29.280 --> 00:54:36.640 thus solving the last problem, in a world where Friendship is Magic. 00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:43.280 This has been the entire lore and story of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. 00:54:43.280 --> 00:54:44.880 On behalf of daspacepony, 00:54:44.880 --> 00:54:49.040 I would like to thank all the voiceovers for lending their voices for this enormous project. 00:54:49.040 -->
