chapter 20: finding out the truth

Soon the 11 heroes were at the park and hid behind the glass plant palace

"I want to go back to my boyfriend! I still don’t know his name!" Iris said angry

"Just stand still. Crystal Veritus!" Talia said

Then a memory lane appeared from the beginning of the episode

"Hey, there he is!" Iris called gasping "He’s walking under those crates! They’re about to fall on him! But I’m not about to let that happen to my pookie!" Iris said scared "There’s me, shooting a Crystal Flecto spell at the boxes, saving my love" Iris said

Then Auriana gasped in shock

"That’s weird" Auriana said confused

What do you see?" Talia asked

"Inside the crane" Auriana answered

"Crystal Lever" Talia said making the memory ball go backward and forward two times but then the 10 heroes found out the thing what shot the boy and Iris

"See?" Auriana asked

"That’s it!" Talia said shocked

"I saw it too! My boyfriend has brown eyes!" Iris said happily

"Ah! The creature in the crane shot something at Iris and the boy. An enchantment of some sort" Talia said

"Wait, no! Evil witches don’t cast love spells. They hate love. And they hate pretty girls. And they also hate…" Auriana said but was cut short

"Auriana, please. We must find the creature" Talia suggested

"Oh, that’s easy. It’s right there!" Iris said finding the creature in one second

Then the other 10 friends looked to where Iris was pointing and found the creature who shot an Arrow but it was dodged by Auriana who used a dodge spell

"Crystarmum!" Auriana called casting an dodge spell only for it to disappear and the heroes to dodge

"Girls do something" Rarity called out

"Let's pony-up then we're stronger"

Twilight called out before pony-upping with her friends and Spike grow Wings After that Talia and Auriana nodded at each other and when they did they began transforming

"Talia, princess of Xeris!" Talia called out

"Auriana, princess of Volta!" Auriana called out

Soon the two heroes were seen transforming and making poses which ended with them still dodging and when they did Auriana made a shield while looking over at Iris who was swirling her hair and daydreaming about the boy

"Roses are red, Irises are blue, you’re in love with me, and your eyes are blue too" Iris said daydreaming

Then Talia started talking making Iris out of her daydreaming stance

"Iris! You must transform!" Talia called out

"I’m kind of busy re-writing my love poem" Iris said still not seeing there's an battle

"Iris, your beloved will be here soon, and if you transform, you’ll look beautiful and princess-y for him"

Auriana called out helping Talia which caused Iris to snap out of her real dreaming and gasps

"You’re right!" Iris said ready to battle "Iris, princess of Ephedia" Iris called transforming and when she finished Auriana pulled her thumps up and winked at Amaru

"Amaru!" Auriana called making clap his paws and make an shield of some sorts appear around of him and when it did the heroes were seen standing on the battle arena where at the beginning it felt a little 3D and when it was finished the screen showed the archer monster standing in front of them

"Crystal Colidum!" Talia called making some stick appear and when it did she threw it at the archer it arched the arrow at Talia who got frozen in stone which made some of the heroes gasp

Then Auriana summoned the ribbon of Volta and got on it's arm and when it did the archer threw the arrow at Auriana who also froze in stone

"Ugh i can't believe this rarity try using your crystal shield onto the archer" Fluttershy called at Rarity

"On it Fluttershy" Rarity said using the blast too only for the archer to do the same with Talia making her stuck in stone

"Pinkie try using your explosive sprinkles" Fluttershy suggested which made PInkie do it but also failed "Applejack try throwing this podium at the archer" Fluttershy called out pointing at an closeby crystal with an golden-like ring around it and then Applejack threw it but the archer threw it back which Applejack dodged but she couldn't dodge the arrow making her get in stone "Uh oh this doesn't work uh Twilight us your telepathy powers and lift the monster up" Fluttershy suggested and when she did the archer monster levitated but then the monster shoots the arrow on Twilight making her turn into stone and the monster to fell "Oh no uh Rainbow shake these glitters in super speed and throw it at the monster" Fluttershy suggested which caused Rainbow to do it but also failed "Uh Iris do your Crystal leos" Fluttershy suggested making Iris nod"

"Crystal Leos!" Iris said using her powers but it didn't work making Fluttershy and Iris gasp "Why isn’t this working?" Iris said scared

"Try everything" Fluttershy suggested making Iris nod

"Crystal Rosum! Crystempactus! Crystal Colodium! Crystal Solvenda! Crystal Anything!"

Iris called only to be trapped with Fluttershy and in a circle of the boy's statues and when they got trapped Amaru and Spike also came which made Iris and Fluttershy step into each other scared only for some evil laughs to appear and when it did Praxina and Mephisto appeared in front of them

"If you’re gonna be in prison, might as well be with the one you love" Mephisto said

"Phase two went well. Now to send you back home, to Gramorr!" When she said that Iris Fluttershy and Amaru gasped scared "Morbullo!" Praxina called evily making Talia trapped in a crystal ball and then she did the same to the mane 5 and Auriana

"Good job, buddy" Mephisto commented making the creature growl at him and Praxina to sigh at him

"Stop bothering this creature and go deal with Iris!" Praxina suggested

"All right, all right! No need to get bossy" Mephisto groaned

Then Iris looked around for a piece of the map in her head until she got an idea and threw an magic blast at the monster who shot it back with an arrow making Mephisto in love with Fluttershy

"What? You thought you could get our guy to… Oh, I loved you since the moment I saw you" Mephisto said lovely which confused some of the others except for fluttershy " I know we’re not supposed to be on the same side, but I can’t help it. Could I dare to hope for you to love me back?" Mephisto said only for Iris to giggle

"Oh, Mephisto… How ever could I love you? I don’t even know if you’re telling the truth" Fluttershy said back lovely

"I’ll do anything to prove it! Anything!" Mephisto said in a truthful voice

"Okay… Free the girls from those bubbles. Then I’ll believe you" Fluttershy suggested making Mephisto teleport to Talia followed by Praxina who stood in front of her

"What’s the matter? Why did you run here like a fool?" Praxina said angrily

"Um, I’ve got to do something" Mephisto said awkwardly

"What?" Praxina said madly

"Free the girls. So Fluttershy will love me" Mephisto suggested

Then Praxina then looked angrily at the creature who shrugged

"I can’t believe you let yourself fall victim to the Archer’s spell" Praxina said angrily

"Yeah, whatever. Exbullo!" Mephisto called only for Praxina to interupt him

"Don’t even try!" Praxina called angrily as she pushed Mephisto with away with an sort of shield

"I’m doing it for love! Something you don’t know anything about! Exbullo!" Mephisto called and then Talia was double free

"No!" Praxina yelled madly

"Oh! Now do you believe me, pumpkin?" Mephisto asked Iris

"You forgot about the others" Iris answered

"Oh yeah" Mephisto said before walking off to Auriana before using his magic "Exbullo!" Mephisto called freeing Auriana from an bubble and when Mephisto did it Mephisto did the mane 5

"Thank you, Mephisto" Iris commented

"Honestly, my original plan was to destroy you, help Gramorr take over Ephedia, and then ask for a promotion. But now, I’d rather we just hung out and watched a movie" Mephisto said only to be shot on the ground by Praxina

"Brother, you may have been enchanted, but that’s no excuse" Praxina said angrily

"Ow! That hurt!" Mephisto called

"It’s going to hurt a lot more next time" Praxina said angrily

Then Mephisto started running as Praxina shot her magic on him

"Iris! My love! Help me!" Mephisto called only to be thrown onto the ground which made the heroes flinch "Ow!"

"I almost feel sorry for him" Iris said sadly

"Yeah me to even though they're siblings they can sometimes hurt each other but not like that" Pinkie said which made some of the heroes look at her madly "What it's true"

"Then put him out of his misery" Talia suggested

"Let’s put them out of their misery. Crystal Luxtra?" Iris asked making some of the heroes nod

"Xeris!" Talia called

"Volta" Auriana called

"For our friends!" Fluttershy and Spike yelled

"For our Families!" Applejack and Rarity yelled

"For our home!" Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie yelled

"For Sunnybay!" Twilight Sparkle yelled

"Ephedia!" Iris yelled Then a gem back in Ephedia glowed bringing an part of the strongest magic to Talia Iris Auriana Twilight Rainbow Pinkie Spike Applejack Fluttershy Rarity making them break from the circle and brought out their weapons and brought the magic blast onto Praxina and Mephisto being blast away

"Oh! She does love me!" Mephisto called said happily

"Crystal Luxtra!" The Princesses and their friends yelled

Then the magic deleted the monster and wanted to also delete Mephisto but was brought to safety with Praxina and after that the battle arena disappeared with the transformations and Spike put his Wings back on his back

"Do you think Mephisto is still in love with you?"Auriana asked

"I don’t know. I’ve got my own love problems to deal with" Iris said sadly

"Okay but then we need to suggest how to do that" Twilight suggested
