"You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you're wrong, because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right here!"

Nightmare Moon stared down at the defiant lavender unicorn who dared challenge her immense dark power. "What?!"

Twilight Sparkle looked over her shoulder at the five mares who had just galloped into the dusty old castle ruins. "Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of...honesty!" Her voice took on an echoing quality at the last word.
