The town of Ponyville was in a big mess. The unicorn Vynil Scratch had been attacked by a mysterious person who stole all magic from her body let her in a coma . The townsfolk decided to divide themselves into several groups, one who would take care of finding the coward thief and another who would search the library to find a book that would allow to understand what happened to Vinyl.

"How can you have so many books in that library?" Larry said as he jumped from shelves to shelves to find the book they were looking for.
"That's because our dear Twilight wants to learn absolutely everything about the magic that lives in our world, but especially the magic of friendship!" Pinkie responded as she searched around the library at unimaginable speed.
Wendy sighed in disgust as she heard the phrase "magic of friendship"
"What kind of magic this is, seriously?"
Iggy was surprised when he heard the kind of magic it was. She did not tell him about this during their long discussion.
"That's right, you do not tell me about it!"
Twilight nodded while looking at her books "Well, actually it's a kind of magic I discovered not so long ago, it's magic that can be activated with the help of "Elements of Harmony." Before I lived here, I worked at Celestia's school where I learned all about magic thinking I did not need anyone. "
Spike then made an argument: "Hey, you had me!"
The unicorn lavender made a small caress on the head of the dragon: "But of course Spike! But one day I discovered that Nightmare Moon the sister of the princess banished to the moon for trying to dive Equestria in the eternal night, counted come back to accomplish what she wanted to do a thousand years ago. "
The three Koopalings had the jaw release "Wait! Wait! Waiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttt! Do you mean that Princess Celestia has OVER THOUSAND YEARS ?!"
Ludwig did not pay attention as he searched for the book: "Personally I knew it."
Rarity explained to them: "Of course my dears ! The alicornes are somehow immortal due to their powerful magic. No one else has this ability in Equestria! "
"Apart from Discord...maybe ?" Fluttershy said in a low voice so they could not hear
Twilight then continued her story: "When I tried to warn Princess Celestia, she didn't want to hear anything and preferred that I prepare the Sun Festival in Poneyville, from there I met All my friends: Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie But when night fell and the stars lined up, it was already too late Nightmare moon was free from his lunar prison!
As Princess Celestia was too busy, I decided to take care of her and use the Elements of Harmony against her who were hiding in the castle where they lived during their childhood. On the way In The Everfree forest , I discovered several traits of my friends that let me think that they are really friends on which I can count but I also discovered that they were the Elements of Harmony!
Applejack was the Honesty
Fluttershy was the Kidness
Rarity was the Generosity
Pinkie Pie was the Laughter
Rainbow Dash was the Loyalty
And me Twilight Sparkle, I'm the Element of Magic!
After defeating Nightmare Moon and becoming Princess Luna again, she decided to make peace with her sister, so they pledged to never fight each other again. "
Pinkie then began to cry fountains of tears that were landing on the heads of Larry and Spike growling in return: "I REMEMBER THAT IT HAD MADE ME CRY AND IT STILL THE CASE TODAY !!! !!!! "
One thought lurked in the skinny Koopa's mind: "Whow, she's even more sentimental than Morton."
"The next day I decided to stay in Poneyville, because I knew I would learn better about the Magic of Friendship by staying with my friends."
As she spoke, she looked at her friends who were smiling back.
Ludwig began to think, throughout his life he never had any friends, just like his siblings but the one who could not stand being alone was Bowser Jr. Although he appeared capricious and angry for nothing he felt really alone without friends, the only friends he had then were his brothers and sister. Loneliness was the only companion of the Koopalings during their life with their father who had only one idea in mind, defeat the Brothers Mario.
Ludwig then wondered if it was not time for them to finally have real friends on whom they can count.The research continues until Ludwig find a book on the creatures of Equestria. Curious, he turned every page of the book until he found the page that spoke of the fuath.
"Hey, I think I find what we are looking for!"
The Koopas and the ponies stopped what they were doing and listened to Ludwig.
"The fuath, a very dangerous aquatic creature that lives in lakes or ocean.
They have an incredible adage for magic but only attack when the victim is in the water or they will die if they reach the surface.
Their strategy is to carry the victim in the deepest of the water then used their antennas to absorb their magic then devour them without leaving the bones.
Rarity let out a sigh of dread: "Brr, what a disgusting creature!"
Iggy reassured those who were terrified: "Yes, but we can remove this creature from the list, they can not live on earth as it says."
Pinkie launched a theory as it appeared from nowhere: "Orrrrrrrrrrrrrr! They have arrived at a stage of evolution or they can finally walk on dry land!
Do you believe THAAAAAAAAAATTTT? "
Iggy destroyed his theory in a simplotone tone : "We do not evolve overnight! Cotton Candy Mane."
Larry scratches his forehead: "So who stole the magic of the DJ?"
Spike began to feel bad as if he wanted to throw up something.
"Hey, do you feel alright Man ?" Larry asked
"It must be those chimicherrychangas, I saw Roy throwing up because there were too spicy for him" Wendy answered
Pinkie took it badly and shouted on the female Koopa taking he by the shell "HEY !!! My chimicherrychangas are delicious even a guy dressed in a red suid told me they were delicious!"
But Spike did not spit food but spit a letter instead.
Twilight was reassured that the princess was answered.
Iggy was still troubled by the place where the letter came out: "Okay, so if it's to spit letters ... NO, NO, NO, NO, AND NOPE!
Twilight rolled her eyes and everyone listened to her read the letter
"My dear Twilight, I know only two creatures who have the power to drain the ponies of their magic: one is the fuath, who lives exclusively in the water, the other is a villain of the past of Equestria which is really a force to estimate That's all I can explain at the moment, but I strongly suggest you keep the Harmony Elements at your fingertips, for your own safety, even though I know it's Well enough, he will not be coming back to Ponyville for the moment - explain it personally tomorrow, sincerely, Princess Celestia. "
Fluttershy was worried and began to be very scared: "Sh-She asked that we keep the Elements with us!
Would that mean that ...
Twilight said anxiously, "Yes, it means that this enemy is as dangerous as Discord and Nightmare Moon, and I have the feeling that this time Equestria is in greater danger than ever before.
The Pony and Spike began to look at each other with more than anxious looks.
Iggy, Wendy and Larry then approached their big brother not knowing what to do and Iggy asked:
"Do you think we should really help them defeat the famous enemy?"
Ludwig had to make a choice anyway that left him in a dark thought and made him stress like never before:
-Help his new friends but put the life of his siblings in danger
-Or protect his brothers and sister and let the inhabitants of Equestria get by on their own.
"But the real question is ..." Then there was a great silence as everyone looked closely at the pink pony to find out what she was going to say and then she said, "MY CHIMICHERRYCHANGAS ARE REALLY THAT BAD ?! "
...
Everyone lets out a big sigh and facepalmed(or hooves ) themselves
"You know what Iggy. I'm still hesitating."

Meanwhile, Rainbow dash and the group responsible for finding the one who caused the incident look in all the corners of the city using her high speed as she looked everywhere: Sweet Apples Acres, the city center, To the North, To the East, West ... Absolutely everywhere!
As she was about to blow up she saw Derpy wearing Lemmy on her back .
Almost at the end, the rainbow mane pegus asked them:
"Did you find something suspicious you two?"
The two nodded to say not so much .
She let out a sigh of rage and set off again.
"Whow ! She is not kidding when it comes to critical situations!" Lemmy said suprised fast and furious she go
"Yeah, she's a pegasus with a pretty strong temperament, and you know your brother Roy pretty remind me of her !"
Lemmy look down and saw Roy looking near Carousel Boutique sniffing in every corner but find nothing . But his soldier spirit said to him he is not that far.
Doctor Whooves and Lyra arrived almost tired and exausted to think they having in the night but now have to search someone pretty dangerous "We "huff " "huff " have been searching everywhere, Roy, but no suspicious sign."
"You think it would be better to ask Rainbow Dash to stop the search, it's already been three hours that we're looking for that ruffians." Lyra asked
But the sun-glasses Koopa replied fiercely, "No, we do not give up the search so easily, because if it is, he is hidden in one of the houses or in the building of the town hall! WHAT THE SHELL ARE YOU WAITING FOR ?! GO! AND NOT TO TROT BUT TO GALLOP! "
As they both left and Roy continued to search Lemmy declared then:
"We're just going to say that these two do not give up so far! Hehehe!"
Derpy laughed a little while then they went off again in search of the thief of magic.
Meanwhile
Octavia, Applejack and Morton were looking for the thieve near a pond.
"Open up your eyes my friends, we must-
She was interrupted when she saw Morton raises a rock effortlessly to see if the troublemaker was underneath.
"Yeah.at least he's not below"
Morton threw the rock around breaking it in the process.
The earth ponies remained motionless with their mouths open to what they saw .
"Well what ? That rock was a friend of yours?"
The orange mare had trouble finding her words
"No...but... Ah'mean...how do ya...do that?" The cowmare look at where The rock landed severall still try to believe what she saw. Because Yes we don't see every day a giant turtle threw a rock around like it was nothing every day ! Right ?
Morton started once again to explain
"Well, you see, every guy in our group has some really nice little skills, obviously as we are the elite super minions of our glorious father, it's no wonder Larry is a great sportsman, he has a force and a very balanced speed and had a crazy precision .I have a super strength and I can lift big objects like this one.Wendy it's like Larry but less cooler ! Iggy is very fast and very intelligent! Roy is strong as I am but he is more resistant and more enduring, Lemmy is certainly the weakest of us but he is quite agile and balanced when he is on his ball.Ludwig has a great punching force such as he is able to break concrete walls,he is very tough and super intellligent.And then there is Junior who -"
"It's good, I think we understand your brothers and you are pretty strong!" Applejack interrupting him putting her hoof in his mouth.
"Not true Octavia?"
No respond
"Octavia?"
The musician did not answer. She was lost in her thoughts after what had happened to her cousin and felt half sad and half worried for her cousins.
"Um, are you okay Sugarcube?"
"Ah? Uh, yes of course!" Octavia replied nervously chukled
"It's your cousin, isn't it?"
She raised her head miserably.
Applejack stayed a moment without saying anything, having trouble finding her words.
But while she was about to reassure her the big koopa punched her head, thrusting her into the ground like a nail hit by a hammer: "Yeah, we understood! Friendship, love, blablabla ..."
Applejack a little stunned said a little silently: "What a brute!"
Morton approached Octavia and shouted to her, "Listen to me, my brother Ludwig will do all he can to stop this bastard, especially because he is not the type of guy to give up the little guy on the ground!
So sweet stars stop playing wimps and making your head of burial and listen to me. I too have lost a dear one in my life and yet you think I make a face of a moldy Shy Guy. No ! Me I hold on and I try to maintain the morale of the group (with Lemmy but he is dump!) but every time they tell me to shut up! And yet I give up? No, because I know that one day I will realize my dream!
Above all, you have to know that we Koopalings when we have a goal in mind and that we attack one of our friends! Enemies always pays the price! "
Octavia was a little confused by the sentence the Brown Koopa had just said, but she did not know why but it reassured her as if she needed to hear it. The muscian mare decided to regain confidence.
"Thanks, I think I needed to hear it!"
She then ran away. Morton laughed then a good shot.
"Arf! Arf! Arf! I like Ludwig's new friend!"
"Um, excuse me? do ya want to get me out of here? "
Morton felt a little puzzled as he unearthed Applejack with one hand:" Oops! I am sorry ! It's because I hate to see the people make their heads of Chomp beaten! And that I like to give back their confidence! "
Applejack raised an eyebrow with a smile, "Well, I'm going to be honest, ya've got a weird way to make people smile, maybe Pinkie Pie could help you over!"
Morton ran away without listening to her, the big talker hates being told.
Applejack let out a big sigh: "Now I understand what Larry meant !"
The research continued stubbornly but unfortunately after several hours of research nobody found anything.
The search continued stubbornly but unfortunately after several hours of research no one found anything so that they decided to abandon the search and wait for Princess Celestia to arrive to explain who is responsible for this mess.

The Mane 6 accompanying by Derpy Hooves and Octavia and some of the locals were waiting in front of the Golden Oak Library for the arrival of the two princesses. The Koopalings in full was also present.
Iggy asked Twilight, "Um, can you tell me where is your dragon friend?"
"Spike went for the Element of Harmony."
But Roy was still angry because they did not find anything:
"Dammit, we have absolutely found nothing, I have to look in just about every corner of the city!
BUT NOTHING!!! RAAAHHH" And for worst Morton had to be lost!
"HE, I have no sense of direction!" Morton replied fiercely
"Well I say that's the problem coming from you Moron jr!" Roy was saying approaching his brother!
"ROY, it's no use insulting Morton! The thief had already left for a long time!"Said Ludwig fiercly
"Oh wait, you mean you made us run all over the night FOR NOTHING ?!"
Twilight came up and explained to him: "It was to be sure that the thief did not leave."
"Yeah maybe but we lose time for nothing !"
"At least we know more the town ,so we can't get lost one more time!"Lemmy snapped
The idiotic comments that put Lemmy was making Roy more angry and showed his fist to Lemmy
"You really want that I pound you to the ground ?!! Peapsquek ?!!"
Lemmy retract immediately in hs shell by scared . But when Roy was about to pound him .He immediately remembered the discussion he had with Fluttershy and finally he turned around and immediately calmed down with a slight sigh
"Na, you know what, forget it! There is no time for that!"
Lemmy came out of his shell and was surprised that for once Roy did not scream at him as much as usual or even mocked him or his siblings even the other Koopalings had their mouths slack down.
"Well, it's a progress!" Ludwig said surprised
Iggy also looked surprised but at the same time reassure: "I don't know what this girl do to him but in any case it's reassuring! Hahaw!"
Roy smirks slightly, "It does not change the fact that I can always punch you in the face if you ever pissed me off ."
"Meep!"
Ludwig then let out a huge sigh putting his hand on the face "Yeah it's a progress but there's still some way!"
The shy pegasus have to put some word" Don't worry I will try to change him"
Ludwig smile sightly
While everyone was discussing about who was able to attack Vynil , they saw a waggon appeared from the sky on which Princess Celestia was sitting dragged by two pegasus who, judging by their armor, seemed to be royal guards.
Morton was confused as he scratched his head "Ponies being dragged by another pony?
Ludwig nudged him in the belly "Silence, they don't have cars how do you want them to move on to another place after?"
"Oooooohhhhhhh YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!"
Ludwig facepalm himself against the stupidity of his brother.
Celestia gets off her wagon and everyone protests in front of the reigning princess of Equestria.
The Koopalings did just as well because they had to admit that this alicorne deserved their respects.
But Ludwig also noticed that next to the princess stood another alicorn who was a little smaller than the princess she had a navy blue fur, she wore a black crown and a dark collar with a crescent moon marked on it. slippers and had a mane that
seemed to represent the night.
Wendy asked "Who is she ?"
Ludwig then remembered that Celestia had told her that she knew what it was like to have problematic siblings. The young koopas deduced that it must be the sister of the princess.
Twilight rushed to the princesses let out a big sigh of joy and relief "Princess Celestia! Princess Luna!"
Celestia said, "Good to see you're all right, but how's Vynil Scratch?"
Rainbow Dash replied, "She's in the hospital, the doctors are doing what they can to keep her alive!"
"Without her magic she does not risk to hold on and I think that if we do not get her magic back very quickly, she risks to ... to..."
She could not finish the sentence because it could hurt Octavia, who was staring at the floor miserably! Even the words of Morton had not been enough to put it back!
"It does not matter!"
Celestia took a serious look and asked, "Well, do you have any idea who did that?"
"We are not on Princess." Iggy replied, adjusting these glasses. "But we think it can be fuath from what Ludwig read to us."
"But I read in the end that they can not live on the surface without drying out quickly."
"So it removes them from the list, so you think about the same thing as me sister."
said Luna
"Nothing confirms that it can be" him ""
Lemmy then released an info that fire look at others towards him "Well I think I find a clue!"
As everyone looked at him, the little koopa pulled out a shell of black fur from his shell.
Both princesses were shocked while Celestia used her telekinesis to see in closer detail.
"Wait, where'd you find that?" Larry asked
"Oh, I found her next to Vynil when she was unconscious!"
All Koopalings were a dirty look to Lemmy except for Ludwig: "AND YOU DIDN'NT TELL US ?????? !!!!!!!"
"I tried to tell you but you just told me" no time for that ".
The koopas then felt a bit guilty for once they had to admit that Lemmy had done well for once.
Ludwig congratulated him: "Great job Lemmy, but briefly, Princesses I think you're about to telling us an explanation."
Luna nodded to her sister as a sign that the time for truth had come.
Everyone began to listen to Princess Celestia telling them the origins of this mess:
"These fur belong to an enemy of whom it was hoped never again to speak of him Tirek.
He arrived a long time ago in Equestria with his brother Scorplan to plan stealing all of the magic of Equestria . Scorplan then went in recognition to examine the world they were going to invade.
But the inhabitants were extremely kind to Scorplan, he even befriended a wizard named Star Swirl the Beardedest! "
Twilight whispered to the 7 Koopalings "He is the greatest magician of all Equestria he has created more than a hundred spell ... And he is my idol."
While Iggy and Ludwig were interested Roy replied only "Great ! I don't care!"then the two sighed
Luna continued: "Shortly after Scorplan returned to his brother asking him to sess his project but he refused.Scorplan then gave us the plan of Tirek.This led to a battle that lasted for three days.
But we finally managed to defeat him! Scorplan is then going home and we have locked Tirek to Tartarus draining all his magic and we let Cerberus watch him. "
"And it looks like he ran away," said Rainbow dash quite ferociously
Celestia head down and eyes close with a guilty look "Actually we do not know if he really fled himself because when we are passing Tartarus it was discovered that Cerberus was mortally wound!"
Everyone was shocked except for Ludwig and Roy who took a serious look.
"And it can't be him since he was not powerful enough to defeat him."
Rarity put her hand in front of her mouth "What a horror!"
" It's not nice !" Derpy said furiously
Fluttershy was completely disoriented as if she was going to cry but Roy who saw this approached her trying to reassure her.
Octavia throws a sugestion although she's never been in a situation like that she seemed to know what to say "But does that mean that this monster has an accomplice!
Applejack appointed a culprit "Ah'll think it can be Discord, after all who knows what kind of bad tricks this draconequs could do!"
"Yeah ! Knowing him , It would be not be surprising !"
"No, I do not think he's cruel enough to do so much harm to Cerberus.
So it's inevitably someone else. But I do not see who, "Celestia replied.
But while Luna went to swing a suggestion Spike came out of the library holding in his arms the Elements of Harmony that was hard to wear them he even had to wear the Element of Magic on his head.
"I have them Twilight!"
"Oh, Perfect Spike!"
She used her magic to put the Element of Magic on her head and put the other elements on her friends' necks.
"Well, whatever this second threat is, we'll stop it!" say the Mane 6 at the same time proudly.
Larry was hypnotized by the Elements of Harmony to the point that it made him approach the ponies carrying the Elements while drooling like animal in front of a pile of meat.
"Wow! Nice jewels!Hehehe"
He was stopped by Iggy who put his hand on the head of his brother and hit him several times: "Hello ! Earth to the blue buffoon!" Are you there? Twilight told us that these necklaces had great powers and so they are our only chance to knock him down! "
In spite of everything Luna calmed the courage of Mane 6: "We are sorry but you will not facing him. »
« Hey! Why not ? » Rainbow dash exclaimed
Celestia then explained the reason for the refusal: "Tirek is acting in the utmost discretion to seize his victim as you could see him with Vynil Scratch, meaning that he always attacks his victim when he expects the least. Also, it will not be exactly where you are, so you will not be able to use the Elements until you are where it is, and if it ever takes your magic to one of you. You will be no more able to use the Elements because your magic is connecting to each of these. "
Mane 6 looked at each other in understanding while Lemmy wondered something
"But then if he ever takes our magic, we will not be able to use our scepters!"
Iggy finding this question interesting put his suggestion on the idea while adjusting these glasses: "This is an interesting theory Lemmy but I do not believe that this is the case for us, the former holders of these scepters did not of magic in them. "
Ludwig, seriously, said, "Silence ! We'll find out at the right time."
Celestia continued, "And since I do not want to sacrifice our best defense, I've decided that someone else will do it!" she finished the sentence with a worried look.
Twilight went from confusion to fright: But who -... No ... you ... do not mean? "
All the Mane 6 were pretty terrified except Fluttershy who was only surprised when they had the idea of who it could be. The Koopalings when they were curious about who it could be.
"Yes ... Discord!"
Everyone was extremely surprised:
"Wait, who is this Discord?" asked Ludwig
Twilight explained to the Koopalings: "This is a creature who reigned over Equestria a long time ago, but his chaotic and disharmonious nature has caused him to be turned into stone by the princeses." But 7 months ago, he managed to free himself from his stone prison, hide the Elements of Harmony and hypnotize us to be the exact opposite of those we are.
Morton knew a little bit about the state they'd been in: "Oh yeah, like a lying Applejack, a foul Rainbow Dash, a greedy
Rarity, a nasty Fluttershy, and a Pinkie Pie as unpleasant as Petey Pirana."
"It was exactly that Morty!" Said Pinkie Pie happily
"Ha, I'm sorry for ya!" Roy replied arrogantly.
"In fact, it's a little what we are originaly, no?" Lemmy asked, wondering.
The Koopalings felt a little nervous and prefers to quiet down.
"Er ... Continue ... hehe ...!"
"We finally managed to defeat him by transforming him into a statue. But some months later, Princess Celestia told herself that we could use his magic for good, and finally thanks to Fluttershy we could repent Discord We have thus released him on the condition that he never do any bad things again. "
Fluttershy who blushed lowered his head "Oh that was not that much!"
"And how could this weird goat help us?" Roy replied suspiciously.
Celestia replied, "He is able to tell the magical disturbance so he will be ..."
Celestia stopped when she heard that the koopa at sunglasses knew what Discord looked like.
"Wait, how do you know what Discord looks like, did not we even give his exact description?" Twilight asked.
Wendy looked at him suspiciously and at the same time more or less amused "It's true that bro, I saw you tremble when we have his name mension! You explain us?"
Roy had no choice but to tell what he knew because everyone was looking at him: "OK, I know him, I met him at Fluttershy's house!"
"And how is it?" Ludwig asked
"Has a species of Frankenstein animal version with a personality worse than that of Lemmy!"
"HEY!"
"Tip. Take this as a compliment." Larry will be suing Lemmy.
"What is a Frankenstein?" the orange mare asked
Larry only replied, "You don't want to know."
"We are going to send Discord stalking Tirek and his accomplice until they find them then we will use the Elements of Harmony against them and we will be able to save Equestria and also save your cousin Octavia."
Octavia knelt in gratitude: "I thank you princesses!"
"You don't need my dear ! You are one of the greatest musician I ever had back in Canterlot ! " She said putting her hoof on the musician pony chin.
Celestia did not finish despite all the explanation of her plan: "In spite of everything I decided something in case of failure that we are going to do when we get back to Canterlot!"
"Oh what is it?" Twilight asked worriedly.
"We will give our magic to Princess Cadence!"
Everyone was completely upset by the news
"WHAT ?!"
"If ever Discord fails in his mission and Tirek seizes his magic, his power will grow incredibly tenfold as even the Elements will have no effect on him as well."
"Oh no !" Fluttershy screamed with anguish
"So unless we're sure that he'll never have the destructive power that he covets we'll give our magic to Cadence ... Tirek is staying millennia in Tartarus, he does not know who Cadence is."
"You take the opportunity to leave Equestria with the survivors and find a better land."
Twilight could not realize that she was hearing "Leave Equestria!", "Leaving Celestia and Luna at the clutches of this monster" was all just for her a shattering experience she could not bear.
"But to the facts that Cadence will not be at the Crystal Empire to defend it. It's you who will go there to defend the empire."
"Yeehaw! A'right princess after all we've done it once!" Applejack screamed, waving his hooves in the air
"You said it AJ ! count on us princesses!" Rainbow dash says while doing some acrobatics in the air.
"I'm not going to let such a beautiful city get destroyed by this brute! Rarity is here!" Rarity shouted, taking a stilted pose while combing her mane.
"OH YES OH YES OH YES OH YES OH YES It's going to be great fun!" Pinkie replied, exiting all the way.
"Um ... you can also count on me ... if you do not mind." Fluttershy timidly said.
"And you will also need your number one assistant, do not you think?" Spike was saying approaching Twilight
The unicorn laden view that all was prepared "Well I think it's good! We are ready!"
Celestia smiled at their determination although she thought a last help might be useful
"Perfect but I would just like to know if you would like to take the fight too." she said, looking at the 7 visitors who had serious looks.
"Will you agree to help us, Koopalings?" Rainbow asked worriedly.
There was a great silence for a moment as they thinks
Ludwig simply replied, "Let me discuss it with my brothers and sisters f-" But he was interrupted by Roy who put his hand on his mouth
"No need Luddy, I already made my choice," Ludwig was incredibly surprised
"I made my choice too!" Wendy says
"Equally !" Iggy answered adjusting his glasses
"Same guys" Larry answered
"I decided !" Morton saying it a little loudly
"Also !" Lemmy exclaims
Ludwig understands then that they had made their own choice. All the Koopalings had in their heads their own thoughts, their own goals.
Ludwig was hesitant all night to know how they would react but in view of their eyes he knows what they were going to answer his decision was making he knew he was going to answer! They nodded to each other.
The ponies were all a bit stressed on what they were going to answer.
Finally Iggy went first and said, "This world is all incredibly fascinating, I want to know all about this country and write a total report, but if this monster tries to destroy it..."
He then took a psychoanalytical look: "HE SHOULD GET THROUGH ME FIRST! GWAHAHAHA!"
Twilight smiled at the decision of scientist Koopa, though astonishing at how he said it;
Roy strongly teases his foot on the ground: "Charity and all this mess are not part of my habits, but exceptionally I want to chared my muscles and my magic for a personal reason ... but I would not say which one "He finished his sentence crossing his arms, Fluttershy laughed because she knew the reason when Roy saw that she understood he blushed and looked elsewhere.
Lemmy, who once again showed his ball, said, "The fact that I'm the weakest of the gang does not mean that I can not defend myself and others and I will not give up my new friends! Hehehe!
Derpy was pleased with him that despite being the least taken seriously from them he remains positive and courageous.
"I warn you ! You do not play the kluwts this time, otherwise I remind you, we all die!" Lemmy made a grimace at the realization."
Larry jumped forward and take out his racket fromhis shell pointed at the ponies: "Personally I do not really like fighting for stupid reasons and I hate the pity coming from people, but in view that you are the only people who can take us home I have no choice but to help you. "Applejack was happy with Larry although she would like him to help them for a good reason.
Morton made a huge leap into the air to finally rearrange, causing an earthquake that made everyone tremble "Listen Pony Girls! If my dad would have been there he would surely refuse to let me help you but as he is not there and that I can't let my best friend get killed by a centaur idiot, give way for the beast! "
Pinkie wondered who he was talking about: "Wait, am I your best friend for you?"
"Uh ... YES ! I believe?"
Pinkie gave him a hug as a sign of thanks that made him fall, Morton burst out laughing after the fall.
Wendy who also seemed quite angry: "I'm not going to let a sleazy bestio f*** one of my biggest dream in the air, I would help you kick his horse butt ... without offense. " Rarity was impressing
that she wanted to help them as well and smiled at her.
"But by cons, I warn you, I do not intend to dirty too much, I have no spare accessories"
Rarity reassured her, "Do not worry about darling, I'll make new ones for you if they're destroyed."
"Oh thank you ."
Ludwig was the last to make a decision so taking a deep breath, he pulled his scepter out of his shell pointed at the sky and fired a blue fireball.
"I'll help you too! I can not thank you enough for saving us when we were on the brink of death, so I think it's time for us to pay our debt!"
Octavia smiled and Ludwig approached her saying, "I promise you that I'll bring back the magic of Vynil and save her, the Koopas keep their promises."
"I thank you Ludwig."
Larry still wondered what he meant by "promises"
"But we never keep our promises it's all the opposite."
"Well ... now we do!"
"He, he, he! It means that we reform our team, bro!" Roy sneered in a rather evil way.
"Oh yes, like old times!" Ludwig exclaimed.
Derpy and Octavia wondered if they should not help them.
Finally they approached
"We will help you too! I spend the night crying and I can not sit idly by, I can help you."
Ludwig did not want her to fight, she approached her in a serious tone: "Do not say that, I do not want you ..." she puts her hoof on her mouth. his roommate answering "Do not worry I can defend myself and then I'm responsible for watching over you!"
"I'll go with you too!" Derpy happily declared, "I'm in charge of taking care of Lemmy, so I'm here with you!"
Lemmy gave her a small smile as a sign of gratitude, she replied with a wink.
Morton made one last remark and whispered in Ludwig's ear
"You know dad is going to kill us if he learns we're helping magical ponies, are not we?"
Ludwig simply replied, "Well, we'll have to keep quiet!"
Morton thought for a moment and thought that was the best solution.
The two princesses thought that everything was now settled for the plan.
Celestia declared in a great tone "Perfect, I think everything is ready you will embark on the next train for the Crystal Empire! From my side we will return to Canterlot to prepare the rescue plan if Discord fails! I can count on all of you ?! "
All the band shouted "Yeah, YOU CAN COUNT ON US PRINCESSES!"
But Larry still had one last thought in his head
"Wait!"
Celestia and Luna turned to listen.
"If we save your kingdom, can we have a reward?"
"LARRY !!!!!" The other Koopalings shouted in unison.
"Hey, I was joking, it's true we never paid for our job!"

Unfortunately a disturbing shadow had watched the whole scene to finally return to the forest of Everfree during her journey she began to rethink
"So these are Koopa who landed in this pitiful kingdom huh Huhuhuhu, I think I would know a way to make them change sides, but first I would have to get the body of this alicorne."
As she ends up reaching the castle of the two sisters she repensitious back-up plan of the princesses
"Wait ! All the princesses are going to be in the same place at the same time! Huhuhuhu, this should give my marionnete the perfect opportunity to capture the one I want!"
She began to laugh in an evil and terrifying way that shook all the creatures, even the most ferocious in the forest.

Tirek was meanwhile stealing the magic of Applelosa's ponies. Who else had actually grown in size and had much larger horns to push him on the skull, because he had stolen the magic of all the ponies from Manehattan, which had quite a lot of people facilitating his plan though it seems impossible to believe that he had done this in one night, the bracelets that the Shadow Queen had given him allowed him to teleport all over Equestria.
As he finished his "tasty" meal of magic, he left the city with a disgusted air
"Pah, these ponies should learn to defend themselves better, they are so weak and ridiculous!"
As he went to another place or stole magic he saw his straight bracelets shine to finally hear the voice of the Shadow Queen in his head
"Tirek do you hear me?"
"Of course my queen, what a frightful blow must I commit?"
"Spare me your good speeches, I understood Celestia's plan, they intend to send a creature to capture you and use the Elements of Harmony against you."
"Hum, funny. It's a cowardly method coming from her."
"That changes nothing in my plans, so listen carefully to what you're going to do."
As he listened to the plan he began to sneer sadistically.
