Before departing for White Magick's realm, Colgate, LaurFa and White Magick both decided to have one final talk with those who were important to them. White Magick approached his son and his part of the army with a smile on his face. He said, "Well Son, it looks like your dream is going to be achieved. You will finally have your own nation to rule over."

Blue Star nervously replied, "Yeah it looks that way." He cast his gaze at his unicorn soldiers and continued, "I just wish all my soldiers could fly. It would make life a whole lot easier."

This gave White Magick an idea. He asked, "You know Son, I don't know why I didn't think about this sooner for our troops but what would you think about me turning your unicorn army into Alicorns?"

Blue Star asked, "You'd really do that for me?"

White Magick replied, "Yes, I will and I plan on doing the same with mine." He sighed in frustration as he continued, "I honestly don't know why I didn't do that with our regular soldiers ages ago given I wrote the spell to do it!"

White Magick ordered his son's soldiers to all stand in one place and without question, they did so. White Magick's horn began to glow white and he grabbed his son's soldiers in his aura and recited, "The unicorns without wings can not fly, that can make their plans go awry, when they need to get there in great haste, without wings it is like they are stuck in paste, to be assured they get places fast, their wingless days must be a thing of the past."

As soon as he recited the spell, the unicorn army began to be circled in light and they levitated off the ground. For nearly five minutes the army had no idea what was going on except that they felt themselves begin to increase in size, they felt wings growing out of their backs and felt their horns increase in size. Once the energy dissipated they noticed that they were suddenly the same size as Blue Star and White Magick. One of the soldiers exclaimed, "Wow, this is amazing! We're so much larger now!"

Another added, "And we can fly now too!"

White Magick said, "Well my son needs soldiers that will be the most suited to help defend Neigh Zealand from its enemies."

Blue Star hugged his father and said, "You know Father, I can't thank you enough. This truly is amazing." He cast his gaze towards his father's soldiers and asked, "Are you going to do that with your troops too?"

White Magick replied, "Of course I am! I am going to need them to be bigger and I will need them to be able to fly if they are to aid us if Grogar returns."

Blue Star nodded and said, "Well if he returns, just remember, Neigh Zealand will be here in a heartbeat to help you defeat him."

White Magick replied, "Thanks Son, I really appreciate that."

While White Magick was talking to his son, Colgate caught up with her former commander, Scootaloo. She approached her and said, "You know Scootaloo, I'm so proud of you! I'm so glad to see that you'll finally have a nation of your own."

Scootaloo replied, "Thanks Colgate. I just hope that I will get a good sized military."

Colgate leaned close to her and whispered, "If you don't, I have both dark Alicorn and changeling soldiers and I will give you the duplication spell. Then I will duplicate them to where I have quite a few of them, give you some along with all the spells I know." She looked around and continued, "Follow me back into the castle. I'll get some paper and write them down for you. I don't want my number one ally to not have the same advantages I will."

Scootaloo was shocked that not only would she offer this but that she would offer it the way she did. As they headed to the castle she asked, "Colgate, do you not trust the other leaders? Do you think that one day you and I may need to not just stop the tyranny of an ancient evil but depose them and have us take over the world?"

Colgate gave her a smile, "Perhaps but don't say anything." She then bent down and whispered, "And when I get my tower built and get the sapphire Alicorn up and running we'll have to have a summit." She then spoke more loudly again and asked, "So Scootaloo, what title will you be using up there in the Crystal Empire?"

Scootaloo replied, "I'm thinking I will use the same title I'm sure you will use. I will become Supreme Commander Scootaloo."

Colgate said, "You know something, you're like the daughter I never had." She again whispered, "Let's get in the castle so I can get everything written down for you."

Scootaloo nodded and headed into the castle. While they were doing this LaurFa headed over to her sister who was preparing to leave. She saw her sister light up her horn and yelled, "Brevity, wait!"

Brevity depowered her horn and asked, "Yes Sister, what is it?"

LaurFa asked in return, "Brevity, I know you have this new world to establish but would you consider staying here at least for a while?"

Brevity was not overly thrilled over her request. She sighed, "Sister, dost thou not remember how it took both of us to lead the ponies of this world to their homelands? It was hard enough with just two of us but doing it with just me and Colgate's majors will be much more difficult!" She raised her voice and continued, "If thou needs to reach us, thou knows how to do so!"

LaurFa sighed in disappointment, "Alright Brevity, I understand but if I flash my horn, you will be coming, right?"

Brevity replied, "Of course. Both of us were responsible for aiding in leading the ponies out of Saddle Arabia in this world and I do not want to see these ponies suffer any." Brevity then lit up her horn again and finished, "Well sister, Brevity should get going. We shall see thee later if thou needs us."

Before LaurFa could say anything Brevity cast the proper spell and returned to her home planet. While everypony else was having their discussions, Twilight approached Celestia. She embraced her and exclaimed, "Well Princess Celestia, I'm so glad that we will get to rule Equestria together again!"

Celestia replied, "I am too Twilight and I'm so happy that you will have a nice castle." She leaned down and whispered, "But I am not thrilled with Colgate's demand for her own nation nor am I thrilled with her wanting a tower and I'm especially not happy that she will be monitoring the whole world with that sapphire Alicorn."

Twilight whispered back, "You never know princess, she might not have any bad intentions. I do notice that she seems a bit power hungry but I don't think she will be anything to worry about." She gave Celestia a curious look and asked, "Can I ask you a question?"

Celestia replied, "Of course you can!"

Twilight asked, "Why is it that all the other Alicorns are big like you? Why am I so small compared to everypony else?"

Celestia replied, "It involved a lot of spells that were cast during your corruption and when you were freed, the magic that made you larger left you as well."

Twilight knew that what she said was the truth but still didn't fully understand it. She asked, "Princess, do you know a spell to make me larger like all the other Alicorns?"

By this time Colgate and Scootaloo had left Twilight's castle and Scootaloo had all the necessary spells in her saddle bags. Celestia replied, "I'm sorry Twilight but I do not." She pointed her hoof towards Colgate and White Magick and said, "No I do not but I know those two do. Colgate knows pretty much every spell that exists in this world and like White Magick said, he wrote all the magic of our world."

Twilight nodded and headed towards White Magick. She knew that Colgate still didn't completely trust her and would likely not cast the spell on her. She approached White Magick and asked, "Your Majesty, do you know a spell to make me larger like all the other Alicorns? I think it would help us if we need to face any evil forces."

White Magick replied, "Of course I do Princess Twilight!" He turned to where he was facing her and said, "Stand still while I cast this or it won't work properly."

Twilight stood still and faced him with a smile on her face. He lit up his horn, grabbed her in his aura and recited, "The small one wishes they were tall so that they won't have to crawl, with height their future is bright and everything will be alright, for the small one is small no more, with height their happiness shall be galore."

Once he finished reciting the spell Twilight found herself encircled in energy and felt herself increasing in size. After five minutes the light dissipated and she was the same size as all the Alicorns. She rushed to White Magick, embraced him tightly and exclaimed, "Thank you Your Majesty, thank you!"

White Magick embraced her back and Twilight's face turned red. While she knew that he was taken and knew that she would never have a chance of being with him, she still relished the moment of being held. When she pulled back White Magick said, "Twilight, just call me White Magick. There is no need to be so formal with me."

Twilight blushed, "Well then, there is no need to be so formal with me either. You can just call me Twilight or even Twily if you wish."

White Magick said, "Alright Twily, sounds good."

Two ponies were watching from afar in disgust, Colgate and Scootaloo. Colgate whispered, "Alright Scootaloo, I have a feeling they are up to no good. He would not cast a growth spell unless they are making sinister plans, plans to take over the world."

Scootaloo whispered, "I don't think that may be the case. Didn't you see the way she blushed when he hugged her? I'm thinking that she may have had him cast the spell on her so she might have a chance with him!"

Colgate sighed, "You might be right but I don't think we better let our guard down. All the leaders may be allies but I still don't trust Twilight and I likely never will. For now though we have to put our distrust aside and all work together."

After everypony finished their discussions they all gathered on the east end of town. White Magick turned to everypony that was joining him and asked, "Well everypony, shall we get going?"

Each pony replied yes until it was Colgate's turn. She said "Not yet. I know we said that Scootaloo should have her own army and that I need to provide her since she will be heading to her new land soon."

She turned to her regular soldiers and ordered, "Stand in front of me so I can duplicate you."

Her soldiers did as ordered and she cast the duplication spell several times until there were 2,000 of each type for Scootaloo. She said, "Alright Scootaloo, you shall have 2,000 of each type and if you need to replenish them at any time, such as in a battle, you know the spells now."

LaurFa heard this and asked, "She knows the spells now? How did she learn them?"

Colgate replied, "I know those things by heart so I decided that Supreme Commander Scootaloo should know them as well. After all, if a leader is to protect his or her nation, knowledge of many spells is a must."

LaurFa gasped, "Supreme Commander? You're not going to turn the Crystal Empire into a military dictatorship are you?"

Scootaloo replied, "Of course not! Colgate is going to use the same title and she isn't going to do that so why would I?"

LaurFa sighed, "Well alright, I just wanted to make sure."

Before they started their trip east Colgate pulled Scootaloo aside, "Well Scootaloo, you have finally become what I groomed you to be for so many millennia. Good luck up there and hopefully you will never have to be part of any wars."

Scootaloo replied, "I hope not either." She turned to the north and continued, "Well I have to get going, I want to get up there by a decent time."

Colgate nodded and Scootaloo yelled, "Alright troops, follow me."

Her troops nodded and headed north with her. White Magick looked back at everypony, his troops and allies and said, "Well everypony, let's march!"

One of his unicorn soldiers saw him transform his son's forces into Alicorns and asked, "Your Majesty, are you not going to transform us into Alicorns like you did your son's?"

White Magick did a face hoof and gasped, "How could I forget about that?" He pointed to the field to his right and ordered, "Alright troops, gather over there so I may transform you."

His forces nodded and gathered together as ordered. Once they were in place he grabbed them in his aura and recited, "The unicorns without wings can not fly, that can make their plans go awry, when they need to get there in great haste, without wings it is like they are stuck in paste, to be assured they get places fast, their wingless days must be a thing of the past."

Once he cast the spell his unicorn soldiers, like it was with his son's soldiers, they were enveloped in a bright light for five minutes and once the light subsided, they were larger and now had wings. His troops began cheering in glee once they saw their changes. Once they had calmed down White Magick ordered, "Alright everypony, let's march!"

Everypony began to march until a voice called out, "We're all Alicorns now so why march when we can fly?"

It was Colgate that suggested this and it sounded appealing to everypony. White Magick agreed, "I do think it would be a good idea to fly, we'll get there much quicker."

Everypony else agreed and they took flight towards the east. White Magick was joined by Twilight as they led the way while everypony else followed. LaurFa was flying by Colgate and asked, "Colgate, is it just me or does it seem like Twilight is kind of clingy to White Magick?"

Colgate lied, "You know, I haven't really been paying much attention to their interactions. Other than her being excited over him offering to let her see his library, I haven't seen anything out of the ordinary."

LaurFa replied, "Well I'm just concerned. I know he is married and if his wife is as powerful as he is, if she tried anything there, his wife would do who knows what to her."

Colgate simply shrugged her shoulders and they continued their flight east. She knew that she had to try and show concern for Twilight but deep down she still didn't believe that she had been completely cleansed. Despite her no longer having those green eyes of corruption, Colgate still had her concerns over her wanting to retake the world.
