Op 1 : Stand Proud

(Celestia and Luna strike pose whilst charging the Elements of Harmony in their crystal state. Then the Mane 6 with their Elements of Harmony, look forward determinedly, standing their ground. Then Tierique appears pointing at the viewers, summoning his stand, 『End of the World 』which punches up the title 'Stand Up!')

Soshite tsudoishi STAR DUST
(The screen passes through clouds to reveal a eclipsed sun before five shooting stars move pass it. A six other stars join them.)

Hyakunen me no mezame ni yobarete
(The camera moves up crystalline stairs. Chrysalis glares menacingly at the camera.)

Otoko tachi wa mukau
(Tierique and four others are sat down at a table in a house, reading a letter.)

Toki no suna wo koeru Journey
(Several different locations are shown with Tierique's group with him.)

Kusari no you tsunaru karami au KARMA
Hikari de tatsu sadame
(Tierique and his group are seen looking at the night sky and before day suddenly breaks. The Pony of Shadows, Discord, King Sombra, Nightmare Moon, Chrysalis, Tirek, Starlight Glimmer and Cozy Glow flow into Tierique. However he stands proud against them.)

Stand up! Stand up! Stand up!
Uchi komu no wa
(Tierique and his group attack with their Stands and show off a portion of their true power.)

All right now All right now All right now
Hokori no Bullet
(The team then show their Stand Abilities.)

(JoJo, Jojo Jojo!) Break you down Break you down Break you down
Kobushi hanatsu seinaru VISION Stand Proud!

(Celestia and Luna give the camera a small smile before closing their eyes and fading to black. The Mane 6 keep their eyes open and look forward, determined. Tierique and his group open their eyes with smug grins on their faces. A staircase of cards fly by the camera which then zooms into the face of Tierique's Stand which is attacking a mysterious figure. Tierique appears in a starry void. He summons his Stand which has changed and punches a glass wall before eventually punching through it.)


I stared at the Mare In The Moon. She hadn’t noticed me, at least not yet anyway.

“Oh, my beloved subjects, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen your precious little sun-loving faces.” she said

“What did you do to the Princess!”
Rainbow Dash demanded. She tried to fly towards her before being held back by Applejack.

“Woah nelly!” she exclaimed, although slightly muffled.

Nightmare chuckled “Oh, my subjects, don’t you recognise me? Can any of you tell me my name?”

Pinky Pie grinned excitedly “Oh! Is it Soot Mare? No, Mist Mane! Wait... Wrong pony. Uh Puc-”

Before she say anything else, Applejack silenced her with an apple she had tucked under her hat.

“I do! You’re the Mare In The Moon, Nightmare Moon!” Twilight Sparkle declared! Gasps echoed around the room.

Everyone realised what danger they were in. I decided to make my self known.

“Hey Nightmare!” She looked at me with curiosity.

“Oh? And who might you be?” she eyed me suspiciously.

Why do feel like I’m going to regret this?

“I’m Tierique, and I’m going to beat you!” I drew Anubis as watched her carefully, looking for any sudden movement.

“Do you really think that you can beat a goddess!?” she retaliated. She aimed her horn towards me as her ‘mist’ raced towards me. It was too fast to dodge! As I raised Anubis in defence, name came to mind. Backed into a corner (figuratively speaking), called out the name.

" 『End of the World! 』”

The mist had parted around me as figure that I could only identify as a Stand, although it wasn’t one I recognised. The Stand was a Pony with wings and horn, it’s coat was a brilliant orange , the left wing was light blue and its left, yellow, its tail and mane was dark pink and unkempt and the horn in the middle of its forehead was both purple and white. It was about 4”5, whilst I was 5”3.

“Pass me that sword of yours and hop on.” My stand spoke to me in a feminine voice. After experiencing everything I did today, it speaking didn’t surprise me. Complying with their (her?) command, I mounted her and gave her Anubis, her horn lit as she held it in a grip of wind beside us.

“Hold my mane if you need to, hold on tight!” Following her advice, we took off at great speed towards Nightmare and before she could react, End of the World slugged her in the face sending back few meters.

“MUDA! (無駄!)” She cried as she punched Nightmare Moon. I swore I saw blood trickle down her nose.

“How dare you attack royalty! And how are you flying without wings?!” she spat. Good, she’s not a Stand User then. Nightmare morphed into mist and retreated to the Everfree Forest.

“After her!” I heard Mayor Mare order the guard and I heard more flapping wings behind me.

“So, do you want to come with me?” I asked them as they flew past me. They observed me suspiciously, likey confused about my ‘ability’ to fly.

“Aa much we could use your abilities to help us, you are still a civilian. " One of them responded with a neutral expression.

“Just don’t get yourselves killed, okay.” I seems like they don’t now how much danger they were in. I watched them disappear past the edge of the forest and also saw six mares enter the forest moments later.

“Let’s watch the Mane 6 and make sure nothing bad happens to them.”
I told 『End of the World』 quietly.
Moving at a much slower pace, we tailed them and made sure I wasn’t seen.


An Hour Later

We watched as the Mane 6 entered The Castle of the Two Sisters and into the room containing the Elements of Harmony. We viewed them from a distance, they had assembled the Elements together and had Twilight make the sixth appear. The others left the room to help Twilight focus on igniting the spark. Suddenly, a ghostly mist swirled around the Elements and for a split second she opened her eyes but it was too late she was swept into the tornado before vanishing in a flash of light. The spire nearby flashed with light, drawing my attention to it. Still riding 『End of the World 』, we flew over to the spire ready to finally face Nightmare Moon. I touched base next to Twilight who jumped slightly at my sudden appearance .

"Did you forget about me Nightmare?" I taunted.

"Were you following us?" Twilight asked.

"That's not important right now, we need to get the Elements before she destroys them! I'll Distract her while you get the Elements, now let's charge!" I whispered to her. I grabbed Anubis and with 『End of the World』's help, launched towards Nightmare Moon ready to swing. However, she anticipated my attack and sidestepped. I then bounced back off the wall to strike again, but I only grazed her face. As we fought, Twilight had cast a spell on the Elements. Nightmare Moon noticed what she was doing and immediately teleported in front of Twilight and kicked her several meters back, winding her. Elements of Harmony were glowing, sparks connecting them, before it seemingly shut off.

"But where's the sixth Element?" she asked deeply confused. Nightmare Moon laughed evilly and slammed her hooves down, shattering the Elements of Harmony into shards.

"You little foals, thinking that you could defeat me. You'll never see the sun or your princess again, the night will last forever!" she laughed maniacally. Just then, we heard Twilight's friends calling her, Twilight gasped in realisation, she knew how to make the last Element appear.

"Did you really think that you could destroy the Elements just like that?"

"Yare Yare, it doesn't take genius to figure it out"

"Well you're wrong! The spirits of the Elements are right here!" The shattered Elements started to react to our words.

"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the Element of Honesty!"

"Fluttershy, who tamed a manticore with her compassion, represents the Element of Kindness!"

"Pinke Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the Element of Laughter!"

"Rarity, who calmed a serpent with a meaningful gift, represents the Element of Generosity!"

"And Rainbow Dash, who couldn't abandone her friends for her own heart's desires, represents the Element of Loyalty!"

"The spirits of these five ponies got us through all of your challenges." she declared

"But you still haven't got the sixth Element, the spark didn't work!" she said triumphant

"But it did! A different kind of spark!"
She turned to her friends. "I felt it the very moment I realised how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realised that you were all... " she turned back to Nightmare Moon. "My friends!" The sixth Element appeared above us.

"You see, Nightmare Moon, when these five Elements come together and are ignited by the spark, inside us all it creates the sixth Element, The Element of Magic!" The Elements of Harmony began to shine intensely, the shattered remains of each respective Element fused together into necklaces on their bearers whilst Magic became a crown. Twilight floated towards the other Elements and a rainbow of magic crashed down on Nightmare Moon and everything went white.

To Be Continued...
