Maretime Bay Day Plan

The group returned to the Crystal Brighthouse together and entering it, Sarah and her family were in awe at the interior of Sunny's new home; two curving staircase leading up to the girls room and the elevator to the Lighthouse. "Pipp, Pipp, Nikki, Nikki I wanna show you both something." Izzy smiled and the girls followed Izzy to the room shared by her, Pipp, Zipp and Sunny.

Going to Izzy's part of the room, Nikki was amazed at some paintings and other items made by Izzy, "Woah....did you make all this Izzy?" she asked.

"Hehe, yep! I don't know if you've noticed but I've considered myself kinda an artist." Izzy smiled.

"Of course. I noticed. All of this beautiful stuff was made by you. Your so creative Izzy." Pipp smiled sitting on Izzy's bed. "And your a-mazing at turning old things into new things. What do you call it again?"

"Uni-cycling."

"Uni-cycling! Yes yes, that's it!"

Izzy turned and them picked through a box with some of her supplies. "So, the other day as I was searching through my box goggly eyes in the basement, I found this." Izzy showed Pipp and Nikki, the lantern Sunnys' day made for her which was badly wrecked during Scarlet Nightmare's attack on Maretime Bay when her old Lighthouse was destroyed.

"Is that Sunny's old lantern?" Pipp gasped in awe.

"Well her dad made it for her when she was a little filly." Izzy grinned. "So, I thought...."

Pipp gasped, "You're going to fix it for her and give it to her as a present for Maretime Bay Day aren't you?" Nikki smiled at the unicorn.

"Yes, yes yes! But shh, it has to be a surprise." Izzy giggled and Pipp squealed, "I love surprises."

"Of course Izzy." Nikki nodded.

"Hoof to heart." Izzy and Pipp smiled and promised each other.

Downstairs, Sunny and the group were making pizza for lunch together with Sarah and her family, whom were surprised they ate Pizza in the first place. The only pony who wasn't helping was Zipp, whose mind was on something else obvious, only to be drawn back by her younger sister.

"Zipp!"

"Huh?"

"I have been asking you if you want extra cheese of your pizza for ten minutes. What's up with you?" Pipp asked.

"O-O-Oh nothing, just thinking about something odd earlier." Zipp stated.

“The thing with Posey.” Pipp questioned.

“O-Oh yeah!” Zipp replied going with what Pipp suggested.

“Me too. How could she not love Magic?” Sunny asked.

“Earth Ponies never had magic before, well before James showed up, maybe Posey’s jealous.” Hitch suggested flattening pizza dough.

“Jealous?” Pipp questioned.

“I know I am. Magic’s a little scary but it would be pretty cool to levitate things.” Hitch admitted.

“Like this?” Izzy giggled before twirling a pizza high in the air but Mc SnipsaLot distracted her and the pizza fell onto her horn. “Hehe, worth it!”

“Haha, you’re right Hitch. That is so much better.” Pipp giggled.

Zipp went over to Sunny, “Have you figured out the whole wings and horn showing up at unexpected times thing yet?”

“You mean her Alicorn form?” Sarah questioned.

“Yes and no. And its been getting worse.” Sunny frowned remembering the other day at her Smoothie Shop when she was serving an earth pony her order when her body suddenly sparkled and her wings and horn appeared, triggering a small shockwave sending some items flying.

The earth pony was amazed seeing her in this form. Sunny, not so much as she slipped on some of the smoothie and hit the back of her truck which tipped over and fell. Sunny poked her head out, dazed as her wings and horn vanished and some contents of the smoothie fell on her and two seagulls heads.

“Maybe Posey has a point. Magic is unpredictable.” Zipp quipped earning a frown from Sarah. The oven bell rang and Sunny went over to it and took out the pizza.

“It may be unpredictable but its not dangerous.” Sunny reassured.

“Uh…..actually Young Sunny, magic can be dangerous. If its used by those whom have nefarious purposes or not treated with respect, magic can create….devastating events…” Tsukumaro frowned a little and so did Sarah and her family remembering what Lothor used his magic for.

“And don’t forget Scarlet Nightmare.” Zoura added.

“Ooooh…..right…..” Sunny winced before taking the pizza pan and sending the pizza into the air before Izzy split it up into pieces. “We just have to show the Earth Ponies that magic is nothing to be afraid of. It makes Equestria a better place and fun!”

“Wow are you ponies thinking what I’m thinking!” Izzy smiled.

“I might be.” Sunny replied.

“Alright everypony…..1…2…3…Pony Parade! Right?” Izzy questioned earning blinks from Sarah and her family.

“Almost Izzy.” Sunny smiled. “We are going to use Maretime Bay Day as our chance to show off all the amazing things magic can do. Then everypony will remember just how special it is that we have friendship and magic in our lives again! And we can use it to honor Sarah and her family.”

“Us! Why?” Sarah barked surprised.

“Because you and your family helped bring us together and your have your whole family together again; Equestria greatest allies. We should honor you and your family as a way to say thank you for everything you’ve done for us.” Sunny smiled. “Are you ponies in?”

“Yeah!”

“Definaetley, Definitely.”

“I’m in!” Izzy, Pipp and Hitch smiled but before Zipp could answer her phone rang and when she looked at the scene she groaned and went off to take the call, earning Sarah, Nikki and Ryu’s attention.

Going to the top of the Lighthouse, Zipp unfolded her Phone (since it was like the foldable phone from Samsung) and answered.

“Zephyrina, are you there? I can’t see you.” Queen Haven questioned.

“Hi Mom…” Zipp greeted.

“It ben ages since I’ve seen my fillies. At Pipp answered her phone when I call her. You never do and you haven’t visited Zephyr Heights at all.”

“Nope, you’re right I’ve definitely not been to Zephyr Heights.” Zipp admitted going to the balcony.

“Well its not like you can’t fly now darling. Listen Zipp dear. I’m calling because I need you to move back home okay?”

“What? No, no, no way!” Zipp panicked.

“I know you’ve had friends with your new friends and all, but your a Princess darling. You’re going to be Queen one day.” Queen Haven replied earning a reluctant look from Zipp.

“I know….” she frowned.

“What about Pipp though?”

“Well, your sister as her little Salon Project and while I do like the idea of you being there to keep an eye at her, let’s face it; she livestreams everything. So that’s not really necessary. You’re the one I need here; studying my every move and representing the royal family.”

“But I’m not sure I’m ready to leave just yet.”

“And why wouldn’t you be?”

“Um…there's a festival soon.”

“Hmm, I do suppose festival planning does count as gaining viable skills for your future on the throne. As Queen, you’ll be responsible for arranged fancy dinner, teas, parties.”

“Uh oh…” Zipp replied before faking a break up in the call and hanging up, leaving her in dismay. What she didn’t notice was Ryu, Sarah and Nikki had evasdropped on her conversation with Queen Haven.

“I take it you haven’t told your mother how you really feel about the throne, did you?” Sarah guessed.

Zipp shook her head, “I love it here in Maretime Bay so much. I don’t want to leave yet. I’m don’t want to be a full time throne Princess, not the way my mom wants me to anyway, but I’m not if I fit in here either.”

“Of course you do Zipp.” Sarah urged.

“Even if I do is fly around and practice new tricks?” Zipp questioned.

“That’s what you love to do, Zipp.”

“I don’t know, maybe my Mom is right. Maybe I should just go back to Zephyr heights and try to be the kinda of Princess everyponys’ hoping for…..” Zipp trailed depressed. “It’s what she wants anyway.”

“But what about what you want?” Ryu questioned coming over and picking Zipp’s chin up. “You have to tell her you don’t want to be Queen. She’s your Mother, she’ll understand and he proud of you no matter what you choose to do with your life.”

Zipp sighed at the fellow Princess, but shyly nodded, "Okay...."

Before the little group could go back inside, two blue pegasi flying by suddenly started falling out of the sky! "Woah!" Sarah gawked but before she could try to catch the pair, they were flying again. "Okay....weird...."

In the living room, Sunny was showing the others some decorations for Maretime Bay Day. "Ribbon reeds are the traditional decoration for Maretime Bay Day. We hang them on our doors, Main Street, hehe-everywhere." Sunny smiled with the room being decorated in reeds.

"Hmm...kinds reminds me of a Christmas Reed." James commented looking at the reed which was shaped like the Christmas Reed but it was coated in yellow, red-orange and greenish streamers, had red and orange bows and bells on them.

"Oooh! I once made a reed out of old tea spoons!" Izzy grinned.

"You did?" Zoura quipped and Izzy nodded. "Huh? Impressive."

"Loving that idea Izzy. Maybe we can add some Pegasus, Unicorn and Alicorn flare to these ones too." Pipp suggested before Izzy started going through her collection of old spoons.

"Now where did I put my suitcase full of glitter?" Izzy smiled with old spoons in her mouth before searching.

"Uh has anypony seen Zipp and the others?" Sunny asked seeing the pegasus absent.

"What's with all the spoons?" Zipp questioned seeing the spoons on the ground.

"Oh we're uni-cycling these old things." Pipp replied as Izzy dipped her in her suitcase full of glitter (literally).

"Wanna join us?" Izzy asked.

"Uh, decorating really isn't my strong point."

"We can do something else." Sunny suggested. "How about baking Bay Day treats?"

Zipp avoid the Earth Pony as she tried to get to the door, "Baking things isn't my strong point either."

"Or help write a song for the big concert!" Sunny added and Pipp fluttered over to her big sister.

"Oooh! Zipp! You used to love writing song lyrics with me." she cooed.

"I-I don't know..." Zipp trailed as she headed towards the door.

"But wait, I'm sure we can find something for you." Sunny urged her to stay but the independent pegasus had other things to do.

"Uh, maybe later...bye now!" Zipp replied before hastly leaving. Sunny and Pipp looked each other, slightly confused but glum.

"You know Pipp, my adoptive father used to write songs, so maybe we can help you." Sarah suggested with a mischievous smile.

"Wait what!" James barked having just flipped a pizza into the air which fell on his head, "Wah!" That provoked laughter from the young pokemon and his own.

"Eeeee! I'd love that!" Pipp grinned before grabbing James' right hoof, "Let's go!"

"WAH!" James yelped as the popstar pegasus dragged him away. "I'll get you for this Ponchita!"

Sarah mischievously chuckled before she and her mentors decided to follow Zipp outside.

As she and her group walked down the path together, Sarah couldn't help but remember what Posey said earlier. "You okay, Princess?" Keldeo asked.

"Just thinking about what Posey said that's all." Sarah admitted.

"Oh don't mind her. She's just full of hot air." Zoura dismissed her concern.

"I know, but still. She was showing hostility towards the others, which may not be so good for Equestria." Sarah frowned. "We all saw what their separation unintentionally did to Equestria."

"Bringing back the ancient evil queen, yeah." Zeraora nodded. "You'd think that incident would have taught them to be more careful about how they treat each other, but it appears they haven't."

"And this may bring back something even worse than Scarlet Nightmare...." Sarah frowned as they reached the clear valley down by the Lighthouse. "Who knows what ancient evils or other things Equestria had before now."

"Interesting point, Princess." Cobalion stated. "Let's just hope things won't get that bad."

"Yeah...." Sarah nodded as they continued on their way before Zoura noticed Sarah's Equestria Pin seemingly glowing.

"What's up with your pin?" Zoura asked and the group stopped and noticed the pins' behavior.

"I don't know....it never glowed like that before." Sarah breathed in confusion before looking in the valley and seeing part of the ground glowing. "Weird...." Going over to the glowing part together, Sarah gently scrapped part of the ground with her hoof before hitting something solid.

"Solid...? What could be solid under the ground?" Zoura leaped off of her mentors' head and turned into a Corphish.

"Let's see." Digging in the spot and unearthing more and more dirt, Zoura eventually uncovered what appeared to be a very huge, crystal star!

"A huge star? In the ground?" Sarah questioned.

"Wonder what that could be doing here?" Terrakion added.

"Don't know, but there seems to be a lot more." Zoura questioned unearthing some purple crystal material before looking at Sarah's Equestria Pin glowing brighter in its presence. "And it looks like your Equestria Pin really likes it."

"Hmm.....it does....I wonder why?" Sarah questioned.

“Woah!” Zoura gawked before she nudged what looked to be eleven eggs from the ground; all of them different colors and patterns. “Looks what I just dug up!”

”Eggs!”

”What are eggs doing buried in the ground!”

”Something or someone must have put them here on purpose.”

”I never seen eggs like these before. They’re definitely not Pokémon eggs.” Keldeo, Virizion, Terrakion and Cobalion commented.

“Well, we better take them with us and see what they are exactly. Could be very important.” Sarah suggested taking the eggs on her magic and carefully placed them into her secondary satchel.

Mysteries and Dilemmas

Meanwhile, Hitch was down at the Beach after getting a call of a small disturbance which turned out to be an argument between two foals; one Earth Pony and on Unicorn with the Earth Pony foal being upset over the unicorn dropping his umbrella onto his sand castle and the earth pony foal thought he did it on purpose.

As Hitch tried to defuse the tension the earth pony foal stated magic shouldn't be allowed on the beach and when a foal asked is magic allowed, Hitch hastily removed himself from the conversation with his animal friends before noticing a pink and magenta egg in the sand which wasn't like any egg he'd seen ever and he decided to take it home all the while Zipp and Ryu were investigating the scene given the event with the pegasi stirring concern in the two of them.

They got even more concerned when she tried to fly back to the Brighthouse when Zipps' wings lost their flight for a moment before she gained it back and they flew back to the Brighthouse. "Zipp, Ryu there you are." Sunny smiled.

"Oh you coming to town with us to get things for the new and improved Maretime Bay Day?" Izzy asked as Zipp hastily walked inside.

"Oh uh...Ryu and I....are...working on our own thing for Maretime Bay Day, yeah!" Zipp replied hastily before going up to the Lighthouse.

"Zipp, you should at least tell one pony about this." Ryu advised.

"I-I will, but I just need to learn more...that's all..." Zipp replied as the two entered the Lighthouse only to find Sarah and her mentors there already. "Sarah?"

"Oh hi Zipp, hi Ryu." Sarah greeted and the two saw the eleven nests on the balcony.

"What's with all the nests?" Zipp asked.

"Well...my Equestria Pin was acting a little strange before and Zoura found these eleven eggs buried in the ground." Sarah explained.

"Buried in the ground, why?" Ryu questioned.

"I don't know. We've never seen eggs like these before. They're not pokemon eggs, that's what we do know." Sarah showed the pair the eggs and they agreed.

The eggs were definitely not pokemon being they were differently coloured and patterned:

The first four were silvery white, rose pink, golden yellow and aquamarine, the other five were orange, black, indigo, silvery-gray and amber. The last two eggs were turquoise with aquamarine shading and silver with pink shading.

"Woah....those are really strange yet beautiful." Zipp smiled.

"Indeed they are." Ryu agreed. "If they were buried in the ground, they could be very powerful species eggs."

"So they could have been put there for protection?" Zoura questioned.

"It's likely, but until we know what the species is, it's a big mystery." Ryu stated.

"So what are you gonna do with them when they hatch?" Zipp asked.

"Well, I guess, Mom and Dad could look after the last two eggs, my mentors could have the first four and me and my family can have the rest."

"Wait what?!" Sarah's Mentors gawked but Zoura chuckled.

"Oh come on, you raised the little colt, you can raise whatever is in those eggs." she teased. Her mentors sighed but saw she had a point.

Just then, Zipp's phone rang and she groaned seeing her mother was calling again, "Ugh..." but she reluctantly answered.

"Hi mom."

"Zipp there you are! Have you been ignoring my calls young lady?"

"N-No, I've just been helping Sarah with some decorations lately." Zipp fibbed.

"Oh well I can't wait to see them." Queen Haven smiled.

"See what?"

"The decorations? Oh didn't Pipp tell you. I'll attending this years Maretime Bay Day festival." Haven replied to Zipp's horror.

"What why?!" she panicked but Haven couldn't answer being Cloudpuff drew her attention away for treats.

"She you there darling." Haven smiled before ending the call.

"Ugh!" Zipp frowned faceplanting her face onto the floor.

"Zipp, you have to tell you-" Sarah started before Zipp mumbled back

"My true feelings....I know...."

The small group went to Main Street to search for any other disturbances in magic, but they didn't see anything strange, except Hitch dragging a bag of sand back into the Sheriff's building. Investigating, the group saw he'd found a small egg and was caring for it like a father. Again, the eggs wasn't like anything seen before adding even more mystery to the eggs.

Zipp's phone rang again and it seemed to be a distress message from Pipp. Rushing back to the Brighthouse, it turns out Pipp planned a surprise for them seeing they were all stressing lately. "Please don't let it be makeovers, Please don't let it be makeovers..." Zipp, James and Tsukumaro prayed but....

They found themselves in hair dryers at Mane Melody getting makeovers, "I knew it..." they deadpanned.

"But this is so relaxing." Izzy smiled.

"I agree with the happy go lucky unicorn...." Haxrous sighed happily as Jazz did his claws.

"Hehe, don't you all love it here at Mane Melody?" Pipp smiled.

"Yeah Pipp. You and Sefu did an amazing job with this place." Sarah grinned.

"Thanks Sarah." Pipp nodded before going over to her big sister whom was still concerned about magic.

"Hey Pipp, I'm sorry I haven't been helping out. It's just I've been thinking about other things like-"

"Telling Mom, you don't want to be Queen?"

"That and about magic. Something weird is going on."

"Ugh, you worry too too much." Pipp dismissed.

"But if something happens to magic this time, we may have something even worse than Scarlet Nightmare and her Shadow Pokemon and Dragons and we could lose Ryu and-"

"Zipp, you need to chill. Nothing's is going to happen." Pipp reassured before going over to the small stage with Swanna where Rocky and Jazz, two of her friends and workers were. "We got our friends back. We've got Magic, Pokemon and Dragons back. And we've got-"

"Music~" Pipp, Jazz and Rocky sang together.

"At Mane Melody,"

"We sing,"

"While we style," the latter smiled.

"Pipp Pipp Hooray/Pipp Pipp Hooray!" The Mane Four and the younger pokemon and dragons smiled.

"This one goes out to my paranoid big sis, Zipp." Pipp smiled earning a distatifised look from Zipp.

Pipp: I know you're feelin' like there's something wrong

But don't you worry I have just the song for you

So put those hooves up in a comfy chair

And you'll forget those hairs in a minute or two

That's what you'll do

Jazz: You've got alot on your mane and that's kidna tragic

But with a little bit of caring and a touch of magic

Rocky: You'll feel brand new

And You'll forget what's been troubling you

Pipp: So put your hooves up high

Cause we're feeling alright

Everything is awesome in Maretime Bay

So put your hooves up, put your hooves up

Everything is gonna be okay

"You don't get it do you?! We can't just sing a song and ignore everything! If we lose magic this time, we may never get back and something else could take away Ryu and everyone else again and it'll be ours fault...." Zipp expressed finally letting her worries be free.

"What is she talking about?"

"Lose magic?"

"Whose fault?" Izzy, Sunny and Hitch commented before a loud crash was suddenly heard from outside and the group came out to see a cluster of ponies, including Windy, a red Pegasus.

“Are you ponies okay?” Pipp asked as they got up.

“Windy, what happened?” Sunny asked the pegasus.

“I don’t know. I was just flying along and before I know it I was down here on the ground.” Windy explained.

“Me too. Because you fell on us.” a unicorn frowned, giving Windy a glare.

“I’m sorry everypony. I’m usually a good flier.”

“Clearly she’s not.” Posey snarked as she appeared again. “This is what I've been saying, what everypony’s been thinking. If Pegasi and Unicorns can’t be respectful. Then they shouldn’t be allowed to use their magic in Maretime Bay.”

“She’s right.”

“I’m not sure.”

“Yeah, no more magic.”

“It’s not fair. We Earth Ponies don’t get any magic and the ones that do have it don’t even know how to use it. Or use it to prank us.” Posey snarked again.

“Yeah.”

“Posey’s right.” two more Earth Ponies stated.

“Everypony wait!” Sunny exclaimed.

“And now they want to ruin our special Earth Pony holiday too.” Posey accused.

“That’s not true!” Sunny exclaimed.

“And Neither is what you just said about Unicorns and Pegasi not being able to control their magic, my adoptive Mother and Godfather can control their magic and my adoptive father who is a fell Earth Pony has Magic connected to the Earth.” Sarah pointed out, frowning at Posey. “Not to mention myself and birth parents still having complete control over our magic.”

“She’s right.” the unicorn agreed with her.

Posey scoffed before she insulted Sarah and her family. “Says the two royals who suddenly turned up after leaving us for many moons only to be replaced by their little sunshine Alicorn daughter who probably doesn’t even deserve to be in Equestria at all let alone her family of different non-Equestrian Dragons and other creatures who are going to ruin our holiday too!”

“Sarah and her family would never do that!” Sunny defended. “They defeated Scarlet Nightmare and her Shadow Dragons and Pokemon for us after we brought them back because of our distrust. Sarah got turned to stone and was brought back by Ryu and the Dragons. That's the reason we’re together again.”

“Well maybe things would have been better if Scarlet Nightmare came back and this girl and her family were exiled from Equestria forever! So do us all a favor and get rid of them!” Posey declared which seemingly caused the formation of dark storm clouds the skies above.

“And Maretime Bay Day should be a magic free!”

“Like a no fly zone!”

“Or Alicorn and her family zone!”

“Yeah they should leave Equestria!”

“Or else we’re not coming!”

A flash of thunder made Posey and the ponies run for cover while Sarah, Doug and Deliah heard the evil laughs again in their heads, making them hurt and making their eyes flicker again and gain a slight faded gray and white colouration before they felt the same weakness as before and fell onto their knees.

“Sarah! Doug! Delilah!” Izzy gawked, helping them up as she, the Mane Five, Sarah and her whole family and the Mighty Ones looked on in worry.

At the Crystal Brighthouse, Sugarcake and Siren placed icepacks on Sarah, Doug and Deliah’s heads behind their horns. “Thanks…” Sarah replied weakly.

“They never collasped like that before! Why did they collasped like that!” Silvally asked.

“I think I know why and what's happening to magic. Why its' glitching.” Zipp stated.

“You do?” Sunny asked.

“It’s because the magic is powered by Ponies and their friendship.” Zipp claimed.

“What?” Hitch questioned skeptically.

“Think about, you saw those dark clouds that formed when Posey said Sarah and her family should leave Equestria and accused Pegasi and Unicorns and Sarah and her birth parents collapsed and their eyes started to gain a faded gray color, just like when Scarlet Nightmare stole her magic.” Zipp explained.

“So when ponies are treating each other with kindness…”

“Arguing out of distrust and hatred.”

“When we’re not vibing….” Izzy, Sunny and Pipp trailed.

“It causes magic to become unstable throughout Equestria.” Zipp concluded. "And now its making Sarah and her birth parents lose their magic too!"

“But why are only Sarah and her birth parents growing weaker?” Pipp asked.

“Their Alicorns, who have the magic of all three pony kinds with distrust starting to spread again, its causing them to lose their magic. Her adoptive parents and godfather must be protected from this somehow since their magic is still working and James has Earth Pony Magic even though Posey said no other Earth Ponies don’t. And Posey may have made it worse saying things would have been better if Scarlet Nightmare and her doom posse were back and Sarah and her family were exiled!” Zipp theorized.

“So the reappearance of distrust is once again causing the Pegasi to lose their flight again and for the Unicorns to lose their magic again!” Tsukumaro gasped.

“Everything’s going out of wrack.” Zipp stated.

“Maybe…this has something to do with why the Crystals were separated all those years ago and why I can’t control my Alicorn magic yet.” Sunny breathed.

“I don’t know, but if we want to keep Magic, Sarah and her family in Equestria, first we need to get everypony back on the same page.” Zipp decided.

“Zipp’s right. We can’t give up. We can still make Bay Day the celebration its’ supposed to be.” Sunny smiled.

“Of friendship!”

“To honor our Pokemon, Dragons and Alicorn friends!”

“And Harmony~” Izzy, Hitch and Pipp grinned together.

Festival Blizzard

The next morning, the ponies woke up together and Sarah and her family had prepared breakfast for them all, but Sarah, Doug and Deliahs' magic was flickering and they still appeared weak. Zipp came over and supported Sarah a little, "Thanks Zipp."

"Don't worry, I got you." Zipp promised earning a smile from Sarah.

Ryu and Tamu and put the eggs and their nests in a large wagon for Sarah to take to the festival and keep an eye on them. Sarah told her family about finding them and the odd star in the ground, stirring confusion in them as well, but they agreed to help watch over the little eggs until they hatch.

Heading out to the town, Izzy stopped Sunny for a moment, "Sunny, Sunny, I have a present for you. Pipp and Nikki helped me." Izzy levitated a present over to Sunny.

"We don't usually exchange gifts."

"I know, I know but open it."

Sunny grabbed the present and opened it up and she gasped in awe, "I-Its the lantern my dad made me....I thought this was beyond repair...." she breathed at the repaired lantern having a large tub of light in the center and a handle on it. "Thank you."

Izzy giggled and the two mares shared a hug together.

At Maretime Bay, the festival was in full swing with ponies from all kinds, pokemon and dragons were present along with Queen Haven and her guards, Thunder and Zoom, but things weren't really going as planned as Posey and a few earth ponies disliked the new decorations, at the sand castle contest a pegasus won and Posey accused her of cheating and having an unfair advantage making the storm above worse.

At the ice cream stand, ponies didn't really like the moss ice cream and the other different treats, creating the storm to gain strong winds, pegasus and lose their flight and earth ponies to get stuck on the sidewalk for a moment and Sarah and her birth parents nearly fainted again if Ryu and Sefu didn't catch them.

"The loss of magic...! It's getting worse cause of the ponies hostility!" Zipp fretted.

Finally, everything came to a head when Pipp tried to sing the Maretime Bay Day anthem but one Earth Pony shouted, "We want the old Maretime Bay Day song! Sung by an Earth Pony!" This stirred the crowd in more hostility and distrust of each other once again, making the storm into a huge hurricane with a mixture of Ice, Snow and lightning flashing all around and finally Sarah and her birth parents eyes turned completely gray and they collapsed on the ground.

"Sarah!" Zipp and Pipp gawked before an evil laugh and neighing was heard and up in the skies mythical creatures appeared which beared a resemblance to horses but are ghostly and translucent in appearance and have no lower body.

"What are those things?!" Posey gawked.

"No! Their Windigos! Evil Winter spirits who feed off fighting and hatred to create and endless winter!" Ryu gawked in horror.

"Why are they here!"

"The unicorns probably made them!"

"The pegasi brought them here!"

"No we didn't!"

"That's not true!"

"ENOUGH!" Zipp yelled at the top of her lungs, fed up with everything. "EVERYPONY IS HERE IS TO BLAME FOR THE WINDIGOS BEING HERE! ALL OF YOUR HOSILITIY AND HATRED FOR EACH OTHER COMING BACK HAS BROUGHT THEM HERE AND CAUSED SARAH AND HER BIRTH PARENTS TO LOSE THEIR MAGIC COMPLETELY!"

"Right you are, Zipp...." a familiar voice came before appeared the foggy spirit of Scarlet Nightmare to the horror of the ponies, pokemon and dragons! "And thanks to you ponies again, I shall return and wipe out the little royal family once and for all! Hahaha!"

"I won't let you! Scarlet Nightmare! I won't let you ruin another family again!" Zipp snarled at the spirit before charging her but one Windigo rammed her into the railing.

"Zipp!" Ryu gawked in horror as Scarlet Nightmare laughed again as the Windigos made the storm worse by the second.

"Come on, Sarah! Get up! The magic, its dying!" Sunny shook Sarah who weakly opened her eyes and staggered to her feet despite her weakened body.

"Hahaha! That tiny Alicorn can't do anything!" Scarlet laughed before taking Sarah and her birth parents in her magic.

"No!" Sunny cried.

"Mama!"

"Princess!"

"Princess, My High Lord, My High Lady!"

"Ponchita!"

"Sweetheart!"

"Master Sarah!"

"Mommy Sarah!"

"Auntie!"

"Now you can watch as I finally destroy these three forever! Hahaha!"

"Never! They're my friends!" Sunny growled before charging Scarlet Nightmare full force, leaping into the air as he cutie mark glowed and her gained her wings and horn once more before tackling the spirit of the cursed Alicorn onto the ground.

"Ugh! You can't defeat me! I will always leave on!"

"No you won't!" Sunny exclaimed with her horn and wings glowing, hovering over the Alicorn spirit. "As long as we have friendship, you'll never return AGAIN!" Sunny's eyes turned purely white before a shockwave of magic appeared and struck, Izzy, Zipp, Pipp, Hitch, Sarah and some of her family: Her human family, Race, Silvally, her Mentors, Nebby, Nebula, Eternatus, Calyrex.

All at once multiple gemstones appeared around them in the shape of their cutie marks, hearts, swords and alicorns placing themselves on their chests (or in Sarah's case - one on her chest and one added to her head piece). Together with Sunny, the gemstones and her family used their friendship and love together and sent out a rainbow shockwave banishing the Windigos and destroying Scarlet Nightmares' spirit once and for all, causing the Earth Ponies hooves to glow green and cleared the skies once and for all to the cheers of the ponies, pokemon and dragons.

Hitch giggled at the magic from his hooves, "That tickles..!"

Then a box flipped over revealing his animal friends whom took cover from the storm and they came over and chirped and squeaks at him.....which he understood. "Yeah, yeah I know! I understand everything you guys are saying..." when he heard himself, he froze in shock. "Did you just...talk? Did I just....understand you...Whaaaaaat?"

The bird with the can on his head chirped again, "Wow, that is a lot of information. Nice to meet you Kenith, I'm Hitch."

Posey looked at her new green glowing hooves and gently tapped the ground, creating roses out of thin air, "Flower power...?!" she gawked in awe as two more Earth Ponies removed the ice and snow from the flora in the towm.

"Earth Pony Magic...!" Sunny smiled.

"That's never happened before James." Izzy grinned.

"Maybe when we come together, we can create new magic..." Zipp thought just before Sarah and her real parents got up with their eyes finally normal and their strength returned.

"Sarah!" Sunny smiled hugging the young Princess.

"S-Sunny...w-what happened?" Sarah asked.

"We defeated Scarlet and the Windigos....for good this time." Sunny reassured.

"Ooooh! And we got new necklaces too! And so did some of your family!" Pipp squealed looking at her golden necklace with the purple gemstone in shape of her cutie mark.

"Woah.....what are they....?" Hitch asked looking at his golden necklace with a orange gemstone in the shape of his cutie mark.

"They are the Elements of Harmony..." a soft voice came before everyone turned and saw the Spirits of the Guardians of Friendship and the Three Royal Alicorns: Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadence.

Everyone was in complete awe at the legendary spirits.

"T-Twilight Sparkle..." Sunny gawked seeing the ponies her father told her many stories about.

"Hello Sunny Starscout, I'm so happy to see Equestria is reunited once more thanks to all of your efforts." Twilight Sparkle spoke. "By reuniting everypony and believing in the magic of friendship, you've created the most powerful magic to Ponydom; the symbols of friendship - the Elements of Harmony. We wield them many time sin Ancient Equestria but they were destroyed along with the powerful tree which grew them: The Tree of Harmony. You and your friends have created the reflections of the Elements we wielded long ago: The Elements of Family and History through keeping the history of the Magic of Friendship alive - Magic, Kindness, Generosity, Loyalty, Laughter and Honesty. The Elements of Love represented by the young Princess' family - Sarah, Nebby, Nebula, Calyrex, Nyasi and Eternatus represent Protection, Hope, Generosity, Kindness, Trust and Perseverance. The Elements of Patriotism represented by the Swords of Justice, Zeraora and Zoura -Loyalty. Equity, Pride, Acceptance, Magic and Faith."

"Woah....." Sunny and her friends gasped in awe and Sarah's family felt the same way having created their own kind of magic together.

"And we have one more reward for you...." Celestia spoke before the star Zoura dug up the other day shimmered and glowed very brightly before emitting a powerful beam of pure light into the sky before a multi-level the crystalline tree-castle sprouted from the ground to the amazement of everypony, pokemon and dragon.

The castle includes a great balcony, two spires, and a tower. The structure has at least one banner flying on the side marked with Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark, and the top bears a large crystal star. Two sets of five strings of beads hang off the side of the structure much like the white beads that hang off the Tree of Harmony. At the foot is a great golden stair for the two-leaved golden door into the tree's body. Two open lancet windows flank the door.

The lobby's two stairs lead into the castle rooms where lancet two-toned green glass windows and crystalline lathed columns with scrolled tops line the hall decked by a brown rug with scrollwork. At its end is a golden-framed green glass fanlighted door to the throne room where the Mane Six and Spike each had a crystalline throne about a star-shaped dais on a golden dish on a violet rug with scrollwork. Even with its door are a set of green glass spire lights.

"What in Equestria....." Hitch gasped.

"I-It's the Castle of Friendship!" Sunny squealed in awe. "It's where Princess Twilight lived!"

"Indeed it is....I casted an ancient spell on the castle to keep it hidden in times of crisis, but thanks to all of you, it has risen once more and its now the home of the young Sun Princess and her family..." Princess Twilight acknowledged to the latters' shock.

"R-Really?" Sarah breathed and Twilight nodded.

"You've proven more than once the Magic of Friendship lives on in other worlds beyond Equestria having used it to make yourself and your family stronger at every turn, sugarcube." Applejack nodded.

"You defeated Scarlet Nightmare where we all failed and lost our lives." Rainbow Dash added.

"Proving you more than worthy, darling." Rarity added.

"T-Thank you..." Sarah stammered a little.

Twilight and the other spirits nodded before they all disappeared back to Heaven. "Come on! Let's go check out the castle!" Izzy yelled excitedly before bolting towards the castle.

But before the rest could follow the unicorn. “Zephyrina.” Queen Haven called approving with Thunder, Zoom and Cloudpuff. “Come on honey, time to come home..”

Zipp lowered her ears but Sarah put her good on her shoulder and nodded at her. Zipp nodded back and approached her mother.

“Mom….the truth is….I don’t want to be Queen…ever. Being Queen, all the speeches, planning and stuff that’s….you’re thing. It’s not who I am. I want to find something that makes me special besides my royal title, like Pipp has her singing and performing. I don’t have anything else that makes me special, I want to find out who I am. My place is here in Maretime with my friends and your place is in Zephyr Heights, ruling.” Zipp spoke from her heart at her mother.

Queen Haven only smiled at her elders daughter, “Okay Zipp.”

”R-Really?”

”Pipp told me what Sarah told her about you and your feelings about being Queen a few months ago, but I wanted to wait until you told me yourself before giving you the all clear. I’m sorry I put so much pressure on you to be Queen without asking if you wanted that for yourself.” Haven apologized.

“It’s okay Mom.” Zipp smiled before the pair shared a hug mending their strained relationship.

”Hey everypony.” Posey approached sheepishly. “I’m sorry for the way I acted and for everything I said. I guess I was just feeling a bit…”

”Jealous?” James answered.

“Yes. And I let my feelings get the better of me which nearly brought back Scarlet Nightmare and destroyed Equestria.” Posey frowned. “I’m sorry for everything.”

“We forgive you Posey.” Nikki smiled. “Just remember to just say your jealous to begin with so you can let it go and not cause utter destruction as a result.”

“Right.” Posey nodded.

“HEY! ARE YOU COMING OR WHAT?” Izzy’s voice sounded from the castles location.

The latter laughed before the Mane Five, their pokemon, the Mighty Ones and Sarah and her whole family went to the happy-go-lucky unicorns location.

Up close the castle was so majestic and beautiful having been cleaned by the magic. "It's so beautiful...." Sunny grinned happily at the legendary Castle from Ancient Equestria.

Then, the group heard some crying coming from near the castle, "Crying?" Sarah questioned as she went over to the side of the staircase and gasped widely. The figure crying......was a baby Alicorn....! The baby filly was white as snow with rainbow coloured feathers and a golden horn!

“Ooooh! Where did you come from little one?” she cooed as the baby grabbed her face, imprinting on her.

Seeing the baby Alicorn was a huge shock to everypony. "Is that....baby Alicorn!" Sunny gawked.

"Amazing!" Zoura gawked at the baby as Sarah brought her over.

"She's adorable!" Pipp cooed at the adorable baby.

"Was...she in the castle all this time?" Tamu asked. "Like in suspended animation?"

"Like Mischief and the my familys' guardians were in the castle...." Sarah breathed. "Maybe...." the baby Alicorn cooed before she saw the wagon filled with eggs. Spreading her wings she fluttered over to the eggs. "Now now tiny one, you can't play with fragile eggs."

The baby giggled before activating her magic which was a golden aura which coated the eggs.....making them all hatch into four Water Dragons, five unknown dragons and two metamorphosed Changelings.

The male changeling was turquoise blue with a curved horn, aquamarine wing coverings and light blue luminescent wings and the female changeling was silver with rose pink wing coverings and pink luminescent wings.

The first Equestria Dragons were silvery white with a white mane and pure white stripes on her body and a jagged shaped horn. Red with a rose pink mane and spine, white shading on her straight horn and pink eye. Golden yellow with white stripes, a light yellow mane and two dark yellow horns with a white swirl. And aquamarine with a light blue mane, dark blue stripes and a teardrop horn, dark blue eyes.

The five unknown dragons scales were orange, black, indigo, gold and amber.

"Four Equestria Dragons, five unknown Dragons and two Changelings....! They haven't been seen for generations!"

"Ah, the five dragons are different species of a breed called Nature Dragons: SkyWing, NightWing, SeaWing, IceWing and RainWing. Each have different powers and skills like the RainWings' scales changing color according to their mood." Ryu smiled. "They are very ancient species whom were thought to have gone extinct but these little ones are new hope for their species."

The babies looked at the Swords of Justice, Sarah and her human family and Nikki and James before cooing at them wanting to be held.

Nikki and James took the baby Changelings in their hooves who giggled and climbed up onto their heads while the four Equestria Dragons babbled and tried to climb out of the wagon but the Swords of Justice took them in their arms.

The five unknown Dragons cooed at Sarah, Tsukumaro, Race, Doug and Deliah and fluttered into their arms cooing

“You guys have your own Equestria Dragons now!” Izzy smiled.

“Congratulations, you are all parents now!” Sarah chuckled at her Mentors, adoptive parents, godfather and boyfriend.

"Wait what?!" they gawked earning laughs from everyone as the sun shined brightly on the Castle of Friendship with a new beginning for everypony, pokemon and dragon.

"Those little ponies finally figured out how to stabilize the magic. Took them long enough." a voice stated in an unknown location as an Alicorn mare with only her mulberry face, white shaded horn and greyish white mane.

"That's Princes and her familys' power is unlike anything I've ever seen.....And now that they've had. It's time to take back what is mine..." she declared laughing, which meant eventual trouble for the Mane Five, Mighty Ones and Sarah and her family.

The End

Interlude: Magical Mystery

Sunny was tilting the picture of her and her dad next to the door as she gave a smile to it.

“Nothing new to report, Dad.” Sunny said to the picture of her father. “But not every week can be as beautiful as reuniting the Unity Crystals and restoring magic to all ponykind.” She said to the photo as she felt close to her father as she gave out the lessons she’s been learning. “And to top it all, it’s nice to have a Guardian of Friendship to look after me and my friends. Sarah has been a good mentor and sister figure to me ever since she came into our lives. And she’s been teaching me and the others more about friendship, and been teaching me and Izzy more about magic since she’s the only known Alicorn who knows magic.”

"Hehe, thanks." Sarah smiled.

Both girls chuckled as they walked out the door, where Zipp is waiting for them in the air.

The Six Spirits of Harmony; Sol, Zhjiben, Ashia, Nuraiah, Rajhu and Jhyali, whom decided to come with the young Princess on this visit to Equestria, were all watching from the sidelines calmly.

“If you’re done livestreaming, we’ve got a game of flyball to play!” Zipp called out to her friends as she, Ryu and the Pokemon set her board diagram down as the three girls looked at the rules she wrote down as Sunny activated her Alicorn form so that she could take flight to play. “The rules are simple. Get the ball in the net five times, and you win. But there’s tons of strategy to this game as well.”

"You bet!" Hawlucha snarked.

And then Izzy and Maractus suddenly came from behind the board as she gave a cheerful smile at her friends. “Ooh, are we playing a game? Is this a pie-eating contest? A cake-eating contest? A cookie-eating contest?” She asks her friends many questions about if it’s an eating contest. Before Sunny could answer, Izzy came and covered Sunny’s mouth as she continued. “No need to twist my hoof, I’m in! Point me on the field.”

Sunny, Sarah and the others looked at her nervously, “Izzy, it’s not an eating contest if that’s what you are wondering. And I don’t think you can play this game.” Sarah explained calmly to Izzy.

Sunny continued for Sunset. “Because, it’s up near that cloud over there…” She pointed to the nearby cloud in the sky, since Zipp and Pipp are Pegasus and Sunny and Sarah are Alicorns, they can fly into the sky to play the game, but Izzy’s a unicorn, so she can’t fly or play with them.

Izzy looked a little down at what they said to her, knowing that she can’t play if she can’t fly. Maractus slightly frowned and nuzzled her owner to comfort her.

“Oh! Well, I always say it’s just as much fun cheering on your friends as it is playing with them…” Izzy replied with a forced smile.

Sarah then put a hoof on Izzy’s shoulder. “We’ll play a different game that is on the ground once we’re done in the sky, Izzy. I promise.” Sunset reassured the unicorn that they will play a game on the ground to cheer Izzy up so she can play along.

Then the four ponies took flight into the sky as Sunny turned to Izzy and Maractus as she waved to her. “See you later, Izzy!” She called out as she took flight.

Izzy waved back as she secretly drew a sad face on the back of the board with a pen, sad that she is unable to play with her friends in the sky.

“Over here!” Izzy heard Hitch’s voice called out as she turned and saw Hitch and Bounsweet leading a family of Earth Ponies into the forest. Izzy takes interest in wanting to see what they are looking for as she catches up to Hitch’s and the earth pony family in the forest.

“These critters say we’re getting closer.” Hitch said to the earth pony family as he is translating what the animals just said to them.

“I can feel it.” The earth pony stallion said to his wife and son with a smile, feeling that they may be closer to what they are looking for.

Hitch looked at the ground, looking for any tracks or a clue of somekind as Izzy came down to his level, Hitch knows Izzy is there and don’t really mind.

“What are we looking for?” Izzy asked Hitch and Bounsweet, wondering what they were looking in the woods.

Hitch, Bounsweet, Marcatus and Izzy brought their heads up when Hitch answered her question. “A family of butterflies. But they scare so easily so we’ve got to keep very quiet. So no speaking.”

“Veeerrry quiet.” Izzy said in a whispered tone.

But it didn't last long as she turned to the earth pony family. “HE SAID NO SPEAKING. YOU HEAR THAT, EVERYPONY?!” She yelled out to them, which startled Bounsweet, Maractus and Hitch as his mane got all frizz out from Izzy’s yell.

And then it just got worse, the butterflies they were looking for started flying away, startled from Izzy’s yelling that they flew out of the bushes. The critters, earth ponies family, Maractus, Bounsweet, Izzy and Hitch saw the butterflies flying away.

The Earth Pony parents start glaring at Izzy for ruining their chance of seeing the butterflies as their son was about to break down into tears, the critters flop onto the ground as Izzy ruins the butterfly thing, Hitch was tearing up when the butterflies flew away.

Izzy looked at them with a sheepishly and embarrassing expression as she placed a hoof over her mouth. “Guess even the butterflies heard that.” She said, feeling bad for ruining their chance of seeing the butterflies.

A little while later, Izzy and Maractus were walking through Maretime Bay with Izzy holding a sad expression, feeling left out as her friends were having fun. Izzy and Maractus came up to a smoothie stand while at the side were a unicorn levitating a statue of the three pony tribes together with a Pegasus and an Earth Pony showing her where to put it on the statue stand.

“A rainbow swirl. And make it a double.” Izzy requested a smoothie with a down expression as the earth pony stallion poured the smoothie into the cup. Izzy looks up and sees Sarah, Sunny, Zipp and Pipp in the sky, Pipp is livestreaming the whole game while Sunny and Sarah try to beat Zipp.

“She swerves, and she scores!” Zipp cheered as she shot the ball into the net, getting a score as Sarah and Sunny tries to block her but fail.

Izzy looked on, still sad as she paid for the smoothie and slurpped it as she is so left out that she can’t join her friends. And then, something behind her happened as the ponies are setting up the statue.

“Hold it steady.” The earth pony said to the unicorn to hold the statue.

But for some reason, the unicorn is having trouble carrying the statue in her magic. “It’s my magic. It’s--” She strained before the magic from her horn went out and caused the statue to fall, and it was about to fall right on top of her. The unicorn screamed as she was about to get flatten.

But then Izzy and Maractus came to the rescue as she saw this as she trotted and lit up her horn. “I gotchu, I gotchu!” She called out as she used her magic to levitate the statue before it flattened the unicorn, the unicorn got up as the earth pony comforted her from that scary experience as Izzy put the statue down.

“HELP!” Izzy heard Pipp’s voice as she turned and looked at the sky, seeing Pipp falling. “Sompony help me!” Pipp cried out as Sunset, Sunny and Zipp saw Pipp falling, they freaked out, especially Zipp, worried for her little sister.

"Pipp!" Swanna called as she dived down to her owner to save her.

“I’m coming!” Zipp cried out to her sister as she, Sunny and Srah flew down if one of them could catch Pipp before she could hit the ground. But Zipp’s wings suddenly stops working as it sparkled a bit.

“What the--” Zipp said to herself as she is now free falling in the sky, as she can’t fly for some reason.

Sunny quickly used her alicorn magic to levitate Zipp. “I’ve got you.”

Zipp was not calm as she looked down. “But… Pipp!” She cried out as Pipp was still falling as she curled herself in fright with tears in her eyes.

“I got her!” Sarah called as she cried out as she tried to fly close to Pipp to save her, but a random Pegasus slammed into her, knocking her off course as she crashed into the building. “I don’t got her.”

Izzy then tries to save Pipp with her magic, but for some reason, her’s starts to frizz out as well. “Come on, come on!” Izzy said in frustration as she tries to use her magic, but fails as the ponies around watch in worry as Pipp continues to fall and gets closer to the ground.

“Believe you can fly, and you will!” Izzy cried out to Pipp with an idea.

“That’s your Plan B?!” Pipp cried out as she fell, thinking Izzy’s idea of a plan B is all she can come up with.

“Okay…” Izzy said with an even more worried expression as she placed her hooves on her face. “Moving onto Plan C.” Looking around, Izzy saw the smoothie stand from earlier as a earth pony mare and stallion looked in shock at Pipp as the mare continues to slurp as the stallion kepts pouring the smoothie. Izzy smiled as she got an idea.

“BINGO!” She cried out.

Izzy zoomed to the smoothie stand, pushed the earth pony stallion aside, tilted the stand to the ground, opened up the smoothie compartment, and then sprayed out the smoothies to make a pile.

Pipp landed on the pile of smoothies that softened her landing.

Everypony in Maretime Bay is relieved that Pipp is alright as Sarah and Sunny, who is levitation Zipp, flew to the ground, Cloudpuff and Hitch come into the scene as Cloudpuff barks.

“What’s that, Cloudpuff? You want me to know Pipp’s no longer falling through the air and in imminent danger?” He translated, but cleared seeing that as he saw it with his own eyes.

Pipp popped her head out of the smoothie as she looked at Izzy with a look, clearly not liking that now she got sticky smoothie all over her.

“Wish you could have figured out a way that wasn’t so sticky.” Pipp said to Izzy, she is grateful that Izzy saved her, but could she not think of something that is not messy.

“Sticky… or delicious?” Izzy asked with a smile, finding the smoothie delicious even if it's a little sticky.

"Yummy!" Maractus cheered.

The others came to Pipp as she was rinsing the smoothie out of her coat and mane. “Are you okay, Pipp?” Sarah asked in concern.

“I’m okay.” Pipp answered. “It was so freaky. One second, my wings were totally fine, and the next my magic started glitching out.” She pointed out in a worried tone, that were magic was glitching, which resulted in her falling.

“The same thing happened to me.” Zipp added, experiencing the same thing as well with a hoof on her chin.

“And me.” Izzy added, experiencing that as well with her horn glitching out.

“Same here.” Sunny said, experiencing her alicorn magic starts glitching out.

Hitch then looks around and sees that other ponies are having the same glitches, the Pegasi are having trouble flying, the Unicorns magic are glitching out and the Earth Ponies can’t seem to tap into their Earth Pony magic. “And everypony else in Maretime Bay.” He pointed out to the rest of the ponies near them having the same problem.

“Except you two, Sunny and Sarah. Your wings worked the whole time.” Zipp pointed out to the two ponies as Sarah and Sunny’s wings worked fine.

“I could still feel my magic glitching. But it seems better now.” Sunny pointed out that even with her wings working as she flaps them to prove her point, she still felt the glitch, just not that much as Cloudpuff is behind her, biting his wings. Sunny then turned to Sunset.

“What about you, Sarah?” She asked the alicorn next to her.

Sarah used her magic and wings for a bit before speaking. “Nope. I didn’t feel the glitch.” She answered them, which surprised the group. “What? I really didn’t feel the glitch at all when it happened.”

“Oh, look, my magic is coming back, too!” Izzy cheered as she felt her magic return as her horn started to glow. “Looks like this topsy-turvy magical crisis has been averted.” She added thinking everything is gonna be okay now.

Hitch however, wasn’t convinced that it was over that earlier. “Just because our magic’s back doesn’t mean it's back back. If it fizzled away once, the same thing could happen again.” He pointed out that it might happen again sooner or later.

"I believe Mr Hitch has a point. Something is amiss now." Ashia concurred as the Spirits came over with the rest of the Mane Five's pokemon partners.

“None of this makes any sense.” Zipp recalled, “So long there’s been unity between our species, the crystals are supposed to keep our magic stable. Pegasi, Unicorns, and Earth Ponies have never been tighter. If anything, our magic should be stronger.” She finished.

“You’re right.” Sunny said to Zipp. “So if our magic, except for Sunset, is going haywire, it can’t be about friendships.”

"Perhaps the cause it precisely pony's friendships, that are the cause here." Ashia alluded.

Just then, Sarah's felt a strange sensation in her horn which started blinking and glowing golden colors, "Huh? What's wrong with my horn?"

Suddenly, her horn started dragging her along through town (Like Rarity's horn did when she was a filly). "Sarah!" Sunny yelped as she and the others chased after their Alicorn friend.

"Hey! Stop that! Horn! Stop it!" Sarah ordered but her horn wouldn't let up as it dragged her back to the Castle of Friendship. "My castle?"

"Why's it bringing her to the Castle of Friendship?" Pipp questioned as Sarah was levitated above the stairs and inside of the castle where she soon crashed against one of the many green stain glass doors as the Mane Five, the Spirits and their Pokemon came over.

"Sarah, you okay?" Zipp asked as she and Hawlucha helped her up.

"Yeah, I'm good. Just a bit confused." Sarah quipped. "Why would my horn bring me to this door?"

Hitch and Bounsweet walked up to it. "There's only one way to find out..."

Slowly opening the door, light shined in and the group gasped seeing six crystalline thrones with the Mane Six’s cutie marks on them and a huge crystal table in the center and a large tree root chandelier above it.

"Woah..."

"Beautiful..."

"Stunning~"

"Incredible!" Zipp, Izzy, Pipp and Hitch breathed in awe.

"What is it?" Sarah asked.

"I-It's....the Cutie Map....my father told me stories about this. It’s a magical map that was connected to the Tree of Harmony, sending the Guardians of Friendship on friendship missions throughout Equestria and beyond." Sunny smiled as she squealed happily uncovering another artifact used by the Guardians of Harmony in Ancient Equestria.

"But.....do you think.....it was calling me through my horn?" Sarah asked.

"Ancient Magic has many ways of evolving, Princess. Calling out to you in its own way, maybe one of them." Sol advised.

The Mane Five, Sarah and the Spirits of Harmony walked closer to the Cutie Map as the Mane Five sat in the thrones of the Guardians of Harmony; Zipp - Rainbow Dash, Pipp - Rarity, Hitch - Fluttershy, Sunny - Twilight Sparkle and Izzy - Pinkie Pie.

Sarah didn't sit in a throne and instead gently felt the crystalline maps, beautiful texture. Suddenly, her horn glowed once more seemingly in response to the Cutie Map's Thrones which sent out a colored beam at the map; Pink, Blue, White, Orange, Yellow and Light Purple, activating the Map!

All of Equestria and beyond appeared on the map once more including Maretime Bay, Zephyr Heights and Bridlewood.

"Woah!"

"Amazing!"

"It's so beautiful!"

"It's has all of the Equestria on here, including our homes!"

"So cool!" The Mane Five praised as their pokemon cooed in agreement and awe.

Seconds later, Sarah's horn sent out a faint glow which manifested into a small sphere as the Mane Five's cutie marks (in transparent appearances) appeared and floated down to the map and hovered over Maretime Bay before moving Northwest to an undisclosed location.

"Why are our Cutie Marks over there?" Zipp asked, not seeing much over that location.

"I don't know, but I think the map is calling us for a friendship problem." Sunny replied. "Just like did with the Guardians of Harmony long ago."

"This smells....like an adventure!" Zipp exclaimed excitedly.

"Yippee, another adventure as friends!" Izzy giggled as Marcatus happily bounced up and down next to her.

"Another adventure livestream for my pippsqueaks, *Gasp*, I love it~!" Pipp concurred.

"Oh boy....guess I'm not getting out of this willingly." Hitch sighed while Bounsweet cooed happily.

"Alright everypony, Pokemon and Spirits, let's go!" Sunny exclaimed and the Mane Five cheered.

Heading Northwest of Maretime Bay, the Mane Five, Sarah and the Spirits were in the forest together with Sarah leading. The Mane Five looked very tired from all the walking and running they’ve been doing, except for Izzy who is singing to herself and Sarah whom looked to be thinking about something important.

“You’ll let me know when we hit the fun part, right?” Pipp rhetorically asked Zipp about what her sister said hours ago, finding this not fun at the moment.

Pipp brought out her phone to give the news to her Pippsqueaks. “Here’s the deal, Pippsqueaks. We’ve been tracking our thief for a millennium--” She was cut off when her sister spoke.

“Three hours.” Zipp corrected her sister for complaining with an irritated look.

Pipp continues. “Because Zipp is a horrible detective, Hitch keeps attracting all these creepy animals and Izzy keeps singing!” She pointed out the things that they’ve been doing. “So if you’re hearing this, for the love of all ponykind, send help.” She said to the livestream, but then her phone powered down when the battery died, leaving Pipp to look in shock for a moment before she started wailing as she stomped the ground and she started crying a waterfall out of her eyes.

“No, my phone died! And I don’t have a charger because somepony didn’t give me enough time to pack anything.” She complained while Izzy looked at her, blaming Zipp for not letting her pack her things.

“We were lose magic all together!” Zipp yelled at her sister for her complaints. “I think that’s more important than a phone charger--” She was cut off when Pipp yelled at her.

“Now I can’t even call for help if we need it!” Pipp cried out, now that her phone is dead, she can’t update her Pippsqueaks or call for help if they need it if things go south.

"Now, now you two. This is no time to argue." Zhjiben quickly disfused the tension between the two sisters. "Besides, the Princess looks a bit distracted at the moment."

Seconds later, Sarah continently walking into a tree. "OOF! I'm good!"

“I know you’re all scared. I am too. Be we can’t let fear tear us apart. The only way through this is by sticking together.” Sunny reassured them.

Zipp and Pipp looked at each other for a moment before they turned away from each other as they crossed their hooves. “Yeah, fine./Whatever.” They huffed after they both said it at the same time.

Just then, Sarah's horn started to shimmer and glow once more, "Huh? This again?!" she yelped before she was dragged through the woods again. "ZOINKS!"

"Sarah!"

"This again?!" Pipp and Zipp gawked as the friends chased after their hovering friend before they found her laid out in front of a save blocked by a huge pile of rocks.

"A huge cave blocked my rocks?" Sunny quipped. "Why would you horn lead us here?"

Sarah's horn still glowed and blinked. "I don't know but something's gotta be behind there." With a stomp of her front hooves, Sarah used her Earth Manipulation to crush the rocks into dust, making some of the Mane Five cough as it began to clear.

Some of the remaining rocks rolled deeper into the cave which resulted in a loud 'Clang' Sound. “Huh. That’s strange. Rocks don't make a clang sound.” When the smoke finally cleared the group saw a wall of vines covering something.

"There is something behind these vines.” Sunny pointed out as she and Sarah moved some vines a bit and saw something behind it, and it’s not a wall made of rocks, it was something else.

Yanking the vines out of the way, the group saw an old gate, a little run down due to how long and how old it is while being in a cave and slightly opened - strangely.

“Whoa…” Izzy said in amazement. “Is this a creepy gate for a creepy pony? Bet I can say that five times fast.”

Sunny inspected the gate a bit and started to gasp in shock. “Sunny, what is it?” Izzy asked,

Sunny found her voice as she spoke. “Izzy, I recognize these carving symbols on this gate. These are Twilight and her friends' symbols of their cutie marks! My Dad used to read me stories. Back when Canterlot became home to the Royal Princesses, this gate was built to welcome travelers! Behind these gates is the most magical place on Earth! The very place Twilight Sparkle was coronated and became the Ruler of Equestria and was the home where Sunset Shimmer used to live… I’ve dreamed of coming here my whole life.”

The Mane Four and Sarah gasped.

"Really?!"

"The Guardians of Harmony's Cutie Marks!"

"Now we're getting somewhere." Hitch, Pipp and ZIpp smiled.

“Well, what are we waiting for? Let’s open this gate up and see where it leads!” Izzy said in excitement, wondering what this gate leads to that might be a relic or historical place for the Guardians of Friendship.

Sarah used her magic and managed to open the gate alot more and everyone gasped seeing what was behind it.

“CANTERLOT?!” Izzy cried out in shock, seeing the legendary place and former capital of Equestria back in Accident Equestrian times, back from the time Twilight and the rest of the Guardians of Friendship were still around.

Now the Capital City of Canterlot or what’s left of it, now laid in ruins, buildings demolished while most is still standing, dead plants around the area, dark clouds covering up most of Canterlot, debris all around, and a really batterup flag sign that said, ‘Welcome to Canterlot.’ as it hung on one side of what’s left of a building while the other end is on the floor.

Walking through the runied city,

Sunny looked around with excitement compared to the others.

Pipp picked up what's left of the Canterlot banner, cringing with disgust. “Yikes. You dreamed of coming here? No offense, but if somepony needed enough money to move out of this ghost town, they would have lambed out of here already.”

"Looks like this city has been abandoned for centuries." Sarah commented.

"I must agree with you Princess." Jhyali concurred.

“Nopony’s lived in Canterlot for a while, but I promise you’ll be able to feel the magic once we start exploring!” Sunny said in excitement on wanting to explore the former ancient capital of Equestria.

The gang continued to look around the ruins of Canterlot as Zipp and Pipp look through a window as Sunny looks at the old buildings while waving her hoof in excitement.

“Every one of these shops is a relic from the past, the Canterlot Culture lived here! Sunset used to live here when she was Celestia’s star student!”

A while later, the Mane 6 are looking around the ruins of Canterlot as they searched any sign of somepony living here, though the odds were very much against them.

“Still shocked to see Canterlot before your eyes, Sunny?” Sarah asked Sunny

“Yeah.” Sunny answered, “But seeing Canterlot like this…” She pointed out, not exactly picturing Canterlot to be in ruins like this.

“That’s what you wanted to create in Maretime Bay.” Izzy pointed out to Sunny, reminding her that she wanted the same thing to be created in Maretime Bay, but not fully understand what Sunny mean by it.

Sunny continued, “I always saw Canterlot as the perfect beacon of friendship. A place where Unicorns, Earth Ponies and Pegasi lived in harmony and no pony ever felt left behind.” Sunny looked down the street of the ruins of the once beautiful capital of Equestria and the place where Twilight and the Guardians of Friendship used to be. “...Makes me question how hard it would be to keep it that way.” She finished, wondering and hoping they would keep the harmony and not repeat whatever happened to Canterlot would not happen again.

"Upholding the peace is never easy, knowing there will always be those whom dislike the new ways of life." Sol comforted. "Our parent figures managed to uphold the peace for 1,600 years before their passing and the downfall of the Dragonstone Kingdom. It was only after Sarah Tomoe and her family arrive that peace and hope finally started to return to the Kingdom."

“Hey everypony!” Zipp called out to them from a distance, the group joined Zipp as she pointed to a familiar place that Sunset knows too well. “Listen up, according to new evidence that’s just come to light, if we want to find whomever called us here, I believe we need to head to the Royal Castle.”

She pointed to the Royal Canterlot Castle, which surprisingly is still standing and has seen better days for sure unlike the rest of Canterlot.

Sunny was so fanmared out that she got hearts in her eyes as she squealed in excitement at seeing the ancient Royal Castle of Equestria that Twilight onced resided in.

“The Royal Castle!” She squealed as she came to Zipp’s face and squished her cheeks in excitement. “You’re a genius, Zipp! You know the thief must be somepony with a power complex who would be drawn to the castle. They would also have the best view from up there to spot incoming threats!”

“Yeah…Of couse I realized all that…” Zipp replied with a sheepish smile before pointing to the entrance of the castle that is open. “...And also, I might have seen the door being opened.”

The others looked on with a smile, while Sunny is lost in her little fanmare world as she smile and cry with tears of joy with magic dust over her head while Izzy is holding Sunny with a smile to keep her balance while Sarah patted Sunny’s head with a smile to calm her down a bit, knowing that Sunny is totally fangirling out that she is seeing the Royal Canterlot Castle before her eyes.

“Get into formation around Sunset, everypony. We’ve got a creature to find!” Hitch declared as the others followed Sarah and Sunny into the castle.

A few minutes later, Sarah and Sunny lead the group through the castle.

They lead them to a door down the hall that she knows all too well, and that it has Celestia’s old Cutie Mark on it. “We open this door, and we will see if there's someone inside."

“I’ve got the door!” Izzy cheered as she jumped in front of the door and concentrated her magic from her horn. “Come on, little horn-horn. You can do it!” Izzy strained as she tries to use her magic to open the door, but then her horn stops glowing. “Magic’s gone again.” She said in disappointment that her magic has faded again from the glitch.

“I still have my magic. I can get this door open.” Sarah reassured and she used her magic to open the door, revealing the Canterlot Throne Room, which is still in one piece, stained glass of past events and all, maybe a little cobwebs and dusts and vines around and banners tattered from years of no pony to fix them, but still the throne room is in one piece. Sunset smiled as the others stared in amazement, while Hitch is still focused on the tasks of finding the crystal thief.

Zipp flew around the throne room, seeing it in amazement while Pipp was looking around with teary eyes, she brought up her dead phone. “Click.” She said, still sad she can’t capture an ancient ruin of Equestrian history to her Pippsqueaks and still sad she still can’t use her phone since the battery is dead while Izzy looked around with a ‘ooohhh’ expression.

Sunny on the other hoof was the most exciting mare of the group because she was seeing the very room that Twilight onced sat in while ruling Equestria as she gained teary eyes, sparkles above her head while smiling with joy.

“Princess Celestia, Luna and Twilight Sparkle all stepped hooves exactly where I’m stepping! EEE!” she squealed with excitement.

Sunny continued her 'fanmaring' as she twirled around the throne room while having sparkles in her eyes in amazement as she is close to throne chairs with Hitch behind her. “History has been made in this Throne Room a thousand times over…And it’s still standing! Even after all the attacks from Queen Chrystalis, the Storm King and King Sombra. Can you believe it!?”

Hitch then spoke out to her while waving his hoof. “Sunny! Now is not the time for fanponying. Whomever called us here is somewhere and this room may have traps in it." Hitch looked around the throne room. “Look for any signs of movement. In front of you, behind you.” He instructs them as he looks around, not noticing he stepped on a trapdoor trigger which opened the floor beneath Sarah, Sunny, Zipp, Pipp and Izzy and their pokemon which sent them falling into it.

“We need to be completely aware of our surroundings. Because if we’re not paying attention…” He then turned his head around to face the others. “...We could be in big…” He stopped as he looked in shock that friends are gone and the trap doors below are open. “...Trouble.” He finished, right before he fell into the trap door that opens as well, he cried out in shock as he fell through the trap.

"Shall we?" Ashia questioned.

"We shall." Sol nodded and the Spirits of Harmony followed after their charge and her friends.

Hitch fell through the trap as he screams a bit before he fell right on a chair that cushions his landing, leaving him dizzy from the fall and a little shaken.

It then reveals that the Mane 5, their pokmeon and Sarah who are a little frazzled and shocked from the fall, except for Izzy who is smiling, are sitting on what looks like a dinner table with snacks on it.

“How cute is this?!” Izzy cheered in excitement, finding it cute to see a dinner table and the snacks set up right before them as she grabbed some of them. “Somepony invited us to a Tea Party! And these donuts look delicious! Maybe not as fine a vintage as the ones earlier, but C’est La Vie---” She was cut off when Zipp spoke up.

“I think this is more of a filly-napping than a party invitation, Izzy.” Zipp pointed out while sweating nervously, wondering who kidnapped them.

Izzy then picks up a card with her name on it. “Would a Filly-Napper have made us homemade place cards?” She questioned Zipp that the Filly-Napper wouldn’t have put in place cards that show where they sit and have their name on it.

Sol and the Spirits appeared in the same area before Ashia felt something.....opposite of her. "Ashia, what it it?" Sarah asked noticing the Spirit of Order's distress.

"I sense something.....chaotic here..." Ashia frowned.

"Oh, so you are able to sense my chaotic power, Oh great, Ashia - Spirit of Order." A voice called out to the group.

The Mane 6 are all surprised by the sudden voice as they turn, and they see an Opossum on the floor with a card around his neck. “Meep.” It said to the group, before gesturing behind him on who really spoke to them.

And they saw from a cave entrance, a hoof came out as the Opossum ran to its owner. “He’s an annoyingly needy kind of creature…” And then, surprisingly, the one who is walking out of the cave turned out to be none other than Discord, the Lord of Chaos himself, friend from Twilight and the Guardians of Friendship and a deep friend to Fluttershy, the Element of Kindness he deeply cared about with animals like a bunny, squirrel, and a raccoon behind him.

Discord is really old from how much time has passed since Twilight once ruled Equestria. His hair, beardchin and tail hair are all white and long, his wings looked tattered up, his ears looked a little bit tear up, and his left horn on his head is broken, with the top part broken out over time.

“...And will ‘Meep’ at the top of his lungs when he eats berries on the carpet, even though I tell him that juice is hard to scrub out.” Discord continues his sentence on Fursome as the Opossum smiles. “But unfortunately, he also has a very creative eye.” He added. “My old friend Fluttershy used to say all opossums do. And what I’ve learned is that if you’re not paying attention to Fluttershy, you’re not paying attention to what really matters.” He finished with a lesson that Fluttershy taught him all those years again, and still remembers it too.

Sunny then gasps in shock at who she is seeing as she pointed a hoof at Discord. “Your DISCORD!” She cried out in amazement. “The Discord! The lord of chaos, who was friends with Fluttershy, who helped Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, and Thorax to save everypony from the Changelings!” She squeals in excitement, reading about the history from her father’s notes.

"HOLD IT! Scarlet Nightmare said she destroyed you, Discord!" Sarah exclaimed recalling what Scarlet Nightmare said about the fates of Twilight and the original guardians.

"Yeah! She did said she destroyed you! How are you still alive...and here?" Zipp questioned.

"It's true I was severely injured during that ghastly mares assault on Equestria, however while she was finishing off my dear friend Fluttershy and the girls, I managed to slink away without anypony noticing due to all of the destruction and mayhem she and those Shadow Pokemon and Dragons caused before Deliah and Doug sealed them away." Discord explained before teleporting near Sarah and looking her in the eyes, surprisingly her. "I must say, being you were able to undo everything she did in over a couple days proves you're just as strong as them and have the same behavior. Along with having Six Spirit friends one of which is my exactly opposite."

Ashia's frown deepened knowing Discord basically stood for everything she was against being two sides of the same coin

Discord teleported over to Sunny and the Mane Five, “And you are Sunny, Hitch, Pipp, Izzy and Zipp."

Zipp was a little shocked by this. “You know who we are?”

“Of course I do. I am the lord of chaos, I know reality like it’s the back of my paw, that’s how I know everypony." Discord explained “There’s nopony who comes to Canterlot without me knowing about it, and… usually there’s nopony who comes…” He then stands up straight with a cheerly smile to the group. “...But today’s an exception. I’m so delighted you could all make it to my little soiree!” He cheered happily, glad that he finally saw ponies after all these years to hang out with.

In her head, Sarah started to put the pieces together in her mind and bravely asked, "So.....were you the one who called us all here....?"

"Indeed I am. There is so much to tell, and it all begins with a dramatic story.” He said to Sarah as he placed his talon arm up and snapped his fingers, but nothing happened. “There goes my magic glitching out again. Standby!” He said to the others, that his chaos magic is glitching out as well. He cracks his hands while he stretch as Fursome came over him with a rope. Discord pulled the rope down, and then suddenly a stage appeared as the tarps cleared out and Discord was somehow on stage as he strikes a pose.

The Mane 6 and Sarah stared in confusion, except for Sunny (since knowing Discord’s magic from her notes).

Hitch held up a pamphlet about Discord that suddenly appeared in his hooves. “Has that stage been there the whole time?”

"Discord is known to be the Lord or embodiement of Chaos, my exact opposite. His Magic can make the impossible possible. He can do the strangest things from time to time." Ashia explained.

“Well, that lightning is completely oversaturating him. It’s very unflattering.” Pipp pointed out the details about the stage, finding it unflattering for Discord.

Izzy grabbed some popcorn from out of nowhere and munched on some. “Anypony want popcorn?” She asked as the group watch Discord on the stage.

Discord then spoke out as Fursome plays the music and a scroll appeared infront of Discord as he reads it outloud. “While age has been exceedingly kind to this handsome Lord of Chaos, many moons ago, when I was but a spry draconequus, I was part of a high-flying group.” He said as flashbacks then appeared.

Flashback (Discord Point of View).

Discord then had a vision of the Original Mane 6, the Elements of Harmony back in the day in the 30 years after the final battle with the Leigon of Doom. He pictures them like it was only yesterday as he remembers his dear friends.

“It was Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and me fighting the good fight.” Discord told them while adding himself, sure he might cause some mess-up mistakes but his friends, and mostly Fluttershy, still cared about him back in the day. “Our fans called us the Mane-Ificent 7.” He said, while boasting him to be part of the group, even though it’s not true but he wanted to be in the picture as well.

Discord revealed more scenes of the Mane 6 when they got older as Twilight shoots a rainbow magic out from her horn.

“We were quite the heroic little team, but truth is, when Twilight first took over as Ruler of Equestria, there wasn’t much for us to do.” He pointed out that since Twilight took charge as Princess of Equestria, there wasn’t much the rest of the Mane 6 would do after their final battle. “Twilight made sure everypony in Equestria felt respected and cared for, and we all lived in---what’s the opposite of chaos? Ah. Yes---.”

Discord then gives his hands the ‘An I quote’ gesture. “--Harmony.” He finished, not liking saying the opposite of chaos since he is practically chaos himself, but has to say for Fluttershy’s lessons she taught him to behave as he continues his story.

“During those quiet years, Fluttershy and I created an animal sanctuary and took a few proteges under our wings.”

Discord showed him and Fluttershy taking care of the animals in the sanctuary while teaching a few ponies about them so Fluttershy shared her kindness to others. “We taught them to care for all the creatures of the Everfree Forest. It was pure and utter bliss.” He said that everything turned out great as peace and harmony has been great in Equestria for years.

And then he showed a vision of a pony mare with a long horn on her head as well as pointy ears and a sinister look. “Until a wicked pony came along…” He said in the low tone of that pony. “...One who caused pandemonium with her false ideas of a Perfect Equestria - Queen Opaline.”

Discord showed a vision of the pony skipping in front of Fluttershy and the pony next to her when they are about to buy some flowers.

“Those who listened to her started believing some races of pony were better than others simply because of the magical abilities they possessed.” He said as Fluttershy and the pony gave the line cutter a little glare.

“So sorry, but you need to wait your turn like everypony else.” Fluttershy retorted softly to the line cutter.

The line cutter pony stared back at Fluttershy. “Unicorns have better things to do than wait in line.” She retorted back at her with a mean look. And the next thing she did was shove Fluttershy to the ground with her flowers on the floor, ruined as the line cutter walked away. Leaving the ponies around her shocked at what she did to Fluttershy as she was about to cry. But thankfully Discord showed up to comfort her.

“It’s okay.” Discord said, comforting Fluttershy as she was about to cry,

“But it was far from okay.”

Discord showed them the ponies around Ponyville are now arguing and are complaining about each tribe. “One instance led to another, and soon Ponykind found themselves divided.” He told them that the ponies are now dividing themselves about their differences.

“Sorry, young fella, but we only allow Earth Ponies inside.” The baker stallion said to the Unicorn foal as he showed the no unicorns sign.

Another unicorn and an earth pony next to them glare at each other.

A Pegasus was flying by over the couple earth ponies. “Watch where you’re flying!” The Earth Pony stallion yelled out.

“These Pegasi are absolute hazards.” The Earth Pony mare added.

And then came to the scene at the sanctuary where Discord and Fluttershy found out they’ve lost their proteges. “Our filly proteges stopped attending our sessions…” Discord said in a sad tone.

“My parents say there’s nothing for me to learn from a lowly Pegasus who can’t even leviatate and apple.” The Earth Pony Filly said in sadness that her parent’s can’t let her attend Fluttershy and Discord’s lessons anymore, leaving Discord and Fluttershy hurt.

“It was all very upsetting, but I knew I had it together for Fluttershy.” Discord boast, but he made that up as he is wailing his tears out as Fluttershy tries to comfort him.

“She didn’t really mean it, Discord.” Fluttershy said to Discord is a soft voice. “Her parents are just scared, that’s all.” She tries to reason with him as he continues to cry.

And then it showed Discord and Fluttershy, along with a couple of ponies, trying to out run or fly from a dark thundering cloud that is attacking Equestria. “Then truly terrible things happened. Much which is far too frightful to describe. Things in Equestria became even more divided.” Discord pointed out with Equestria even more divided than before, darkness and trouble happened in Equestria that it was too awful for him to describe what kind of trouble. "So I had a small solution to the problem. With my magic I created hundreds of species of Pokemon and the Equestria Dragons you all know today and they slowly but surely started to return friendship back to Equestria, but....Twilight wanted to do something more.....drastic."

And then turned to Twilight and her friends. Twilight used a magic spell from a book that she used to create the three Unity Crystals that are seen on this day.

“To make sure magic never again pitted Unicorns, Pegasi and Earth Ponies against one another, Twilight gathered all the world’s magic and placed it in three crystals.”

Discord revealed that Twilight and her friends were the ones who created these crystals so that it will keep the tribes and all the creatures together.

And then turned to Ponyville where Ponykind forgave one another and apologized for their complaints to each other while Pinkie Pie and her son Lil’ Cheese are about to use their new cannon named ‘Glitter Blast 3000’ to all the ponies in Ponyville. “As long as all Ponykind lived in harmony, magic would be kept alive and well in Equestria.” Discord finished his story.

End of Flashback (Discord Point of View).

Once Discord finished his story, he sat on the stage as he began to tear up from telling them about his past, missing his friends and missing his Fluttershy as well. Fursome holds up a sign that said ‘Applause’, telling them to applause to Discord for telling his story. Pipp and Zipp applauded, Zipp and Hitch looked at each other strangely, while the others just looked at Discord.

“So it was Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy who created the crystals…” Zipp stated, now knowing where the crystals come from and who made them from what Discord told them.

“And this Queen Opaline character which began to divide Equestria all those years ago. *Gasp*, I bet she must have created Scarlet Nightmare and her minions when she saw Pokemon and Dragons were beginning to undo what she had done as a way to permanently solidify her plans!" Sarah gawked in horror at the now revealed origins of Scarlet Nightmare.

"And finishing off Twilight and her friends was an added bonus." Sunny frowned.

Discord nodded his head in saying yes to both of them.

Then a realization hit Sarah, “Wait, you also mentioned that Twilight took all the world’s magic into the crystals. Right? But by the time I came back to Equestria with my family, my adoptive parents, godfather and myself still had out magic even though nopony else had their magic. Maybe because since we were out of Equestria for many moons, after discovering my real parents were allies of this world, our magic is not connected to the crystals to begin with! That’s why I didn't feel any magic glitches when the glitch started and why I still have my magic. Because I had friendship and love all along!”

Zipp then thought of what Sarah said and then gasped. “You're right, Sunset. You were friends with Pokemon and Dragons for many moons before you came to Equestria. And you always said they were your greatest strength. That explains why your magic is still with you when we first met you and why you haven’t felt any magic glitches, which makes you immune to the glitches.”

"Yes......and.....I think I know why else we were called here....not only to learn what happened but....to befriend Discord again." Sarah explained.

"HUH?" The Mane Five quipped confused.

"Discord lost the only friends he ever made because Opaline and has been living alone for many moons without them. After everything they've been through in Ancient Equestria it took one pony to take it all away for her own gain. I know we can't ever replace Twilight and the Guardians of Harmony, but...." Sarah held out her hoof to Discord. "You don't have to be alone anymore Discord. You can come with me....and join my family."

Discord looked at the young Alicorn Princess in surprise but...Sarah's smile was one of truth and friendship - just like Fluttershy's was when she befriended him herself.

The Spirit of Chaos slowly but surely reached out his eagle talon hand and took Sarah's hoof and shook it, agreeing to join her and her family.

As soon as she did that, on her right flank appeared her very own Cutie Mark - a Pink Shield with a dark blue background having a large six pointed star in the center with a diamond shaped crystal in between the spaces - blue, yellow, red, purple, green and hot pink.

"Woah...." Sarah gasped at her cutie mark.

"Awesome! You finally got your Cutie Mark!" Sunny cheered happily.

"......That's not all I got...." Sarah smiled at Discord who gave a small smile back.

Chapter 2: Episode 1: Izzy Do It

It was another beautiful day in Equestria with all ponies unified together once more. It's been a few days after Sarah and the Mane Five befriended the Lord of Chaos himself, Discord and learned a little about what happened to Ancient Equestria and about the dangerous Alicorn named Opaline whom caused ponies to separate.

Now Discord was living at the Castle of Friendship with Sarah and her family, including the Spirits of Harmony (to Ashia's dismay), but Discord promised to use his Chaos Magic for good.....most of the time.

Baby Snowdrop Winterfell has been a handful for Sarah being she was an Alicorn Mother now, but she took the additional child all in stride and with her family and Discord helping her, she knew Snowdrop would perfectly fine.

Right now, Sarah and Discord were exiting the Castle and heading towards the Brighthouse where they saw Izzy wearing what she called 'Crafting Glasses' which were large glasses on her face, next to a huge tower made up of different kinds of junk and singing to herself, "Just a little more of this and less of that. And this piece makes no sense, unless its upside down~" Placing a spatula into the tower, Izzy exclaimed. "Now we're cooking!"

"Maractus!" Maractus cheered happily before Izzy laughed before she leaped onto the tower and began moving things with her horn as Zipp, Ryu and Hawlucha flew over and recording the scene as Maretime Bay's Magic Detective.

Hitch, Bounsweet, Sparky and Keith arrived as Zipp landed near them and Discord, Sarah and Snowdrop (whom was flapping her little wings beside her mother) came over.

Keith tweeted at Hitch, "Good question Keith," Hitch translated before turning to Zipp and the others, "Zipp, Sarah, Discord, do you know what Izzy's doing up there?"

"Not. A. Clue." the thee of them replied.

Curious, Sparky and Snowdrop cooed flew Sparky leaped off of Hitch's back and walked over to the tower and climbed it as Snowdrop fluttered over to the tower. "Hitch, Sarah...what is your dragon and alicorn baby doing?" Zipp asked.

"This is going to to be the best birthday present for a friend I've ever made because I finally have a friend and its her birthday." Izzy smiled as Zipp and Sarah flew up to her and saw her cutie mark glowing brightly. Gasping the pair took out their phones (with Sarah levitating it in her magic) and recorded the scene.

"Oh Hi Zipp and Sarah!" Izzy waved but the sudden movement caused the tower to become unstable which was increased when Sparky removed a yarn ball and Snowdrop removed a small box from the pile. This caused the tower to come apart, causing Izzy to start falling towards the ground.

"Izzy!" Maractus cried in horror.

Zipp, Sarah and Hitch gasped, "Noooo!" Hitch exclaimed before his Erath Pony Magic activated as vines spouted from his hooves and actually moved him towards Izzy and she caught her!

"Woah..nice catch!" Bounsweet praised.

"Woah....that's new." Discord smiled.

"Hmm....more glowing Cutie Marks and random Earth Pony Magic.." Zipp trailed very interested, "Also somepony's gonna have to clean this up.

"Don't worry Izzy, you're safe now.." Hitch breathed in relief.

"I know. I was just screaming 'Noooo!' because I lost my crafting glasses." Izzy replied before they fell right onto her face. "Double yeah!"

"I wish I could figure out Earth Pony Magic. I don't like how crazy it is." Hitch pondered.

"Well...it's similar to my Plant Growth power cause of my Solar Magic." Sarah chimed in.

"Really?" Hitch questioned.

"Yeah." Sarah nodded before the group heard Izzy sighing

"But not triple 'yes'. I didn't get to finish my amazing birthday tower of friendship for Sunny!" she frowned before something fell from the tower and onto her horn. It was some kind of ornament. "Accidentally awesome! It's perfect!"

Just then, a tired Sunny, Sugarcoat, Sugarcake and Siren exited the Brighthouse together, "Did anypony hear that. That shook the whole Crystal Brighthouse?" Sunny asked before Izzy presented Sunny with the ornament on her horn.

"Happy Birthday friend! And happy first-time-saying-happy-birthday-friend to me." Izzy squealed. "I made you a present." Izzy levitated the ornament over to Sunny whom gasped.

"..Aww..Izzy! This is the most amazing birthday present ever! I need to show it off." Sunny suggested and gasped having the perfect idea. "Wanna go to the Mane-Time Bay Craft Fair!"

"With my friend on her birthday?! Of course I wanna go to that!" Izzy hopped once before seeing Sparky running with a bucket on his head which Hitch took off and Snowdrop levitating some items before Sarah gently grabbed her, making her stop.

"Yeah and I wanna come too. First time I've heard of it." Sarah added and Snowdrop cooed happily. "Discord, you wanna come too?

"Sure, but first, I'll gladly clean up all this." Discord smiled and with a snap of his eagle fingers made all of the stuff vanish.

"Woah....thanks." Hitch quipped.

"Note: Discord's Chaos Magic allows him to easily clean up stuff with just a snap of his fingers." Zipp reported on her phone before the three girls headed down to the Fair with their pokemon, Snowdrop and Discord

"Thank you again, Izzy. I love this custom mane-cessory so much." Sunny again thanked Izzy.

"And I didn't even know that's what it was." Izzy smiled. "How awesome is that?"

"It's better than awesome. It's Izzy-tastic!"

Both girls laughed as they continued on their way, but Sarah slightly frowned.

"But Izzy you-" Sarah started but Izzy quickly covered her mouth and said 'Shhh..." Implying she wanted to keep Sunny thinking she made it instead of it just falling into her hooves...or horn.

Sarah muttered not liking Izzy's idea of lying but she would wait to see how this played out.

Unknown, by the group, Misty - a cutiemark less, blue female unicorn with purple hooves peeked out of the bushes nearby, spying on the girls with binoculars.

Misty had kinky navy blue and teal hair as her mane swoops to her right with three cornrows on the left side of her scalp. She also had teal-green eyes, dark blue eyebrows, and a long blue horn with a pink gradient towards the tip and pink swirls. In addition, she has freckles on her cheeks, a pink belly, and pink fetlocks.

"It's true Magic has returned to Equestria like you said, along with another Alicorn!" Misty reported to Opaline through a magic compact mirror that was connected to the magical pool in her castle, allowing the pair to communicate.

"Excellent, then we shall proceed with our plan." Opaline smirked before Misty closed the mirror and smiled before following the group.

(The scene opens up with Sunny and Sarah roller skating out of the Brighthouse and Castle of Friendship together before Sunny changed into an Alicorn and their cutie marks appeared behind them)

Hey!

You gotta let it glow

Hey!

You gotta let it shine

(Switching to Zipp and Pipp, the sisters were flying above the clouds together before Zipp flew in front of Zephyr Heights as her cutie mark appeared behind her while Pipp appeared in the Mane Melody stage with Jazz Hooves and Rocky signing as her cutie mark appeared behind her.)

Oh, let's make our mark together

Just riding on forever

Just keeps on getting better, better, better

(Izzy is seen next uni-cycling before she happily leaps up and shows her cutie mark in the background)

(Hitch and Sparky come out of the Police Station together with Hitch's animal friends as he poses and Sparky flies off his back as Hitch's cutie mark is shown)

Everypony, everywhere

You can feel it in the air

Find your spark and just glow and shine

(Opaline's Dark Castle is shown next with the evil Alicorn and Misty in front of what appears to be a magical pool of water as Opaline smirks evilly before the final scene features Sarah, her family, the Mane Five, the Mighty Ones, their Pokemon all together walking and flying to the beat as Sunny's lantern is shown with Prisbeam Power inside of it before the title appears with the Mane Five, Mighty Ones and Sarah all together as Sunny changes into her Alicorn form)

Make a mark that you can share

Hoof to heart, you know we care

Oh ponies, come on, let's all unite

Trials of Sarah: Mark Your Mark

Entering Maretime Bay, Sarah and Discord were in awe at the many stands for the Craft Festival while Snowdrop was cooing and babbling at everything in her sight.

"Woah....this looks pretty cool." Sarah commented.

"Yes I suppose it does, but I think this festival could use some royal touch." Discord smiled before he used his magic and conjured up a personal stand for Sarah filled with different Pokémon items crafted by her, including unique pokeballs and different accessories for Equestrian Dragons. There was even a small cooking area in the stand as well (thanks to the Extension Charm.

"Woah...." Sarah breathed in awe at his Magic. "Amazing."

"Of course, little Sarah." Discord smiled as interested ponies, pokemon and dragons began appearing at the stand.

Izzy and Maractus happily galloped into the Maretime Bay Day Craft Festival where she saw many ponies either shopping for crafts or ponies selling the wondrous crafts as she waved to Sunny and her Rapidash Guardians who was running her smoothie business.

“Hey Sunny. Got your smoothie parts for ya.” An earth pony stated to her.

”Oh. Thanks. Just put them in the cart.” Sunny began before a loud crud was heard and when she opened her side door she saw the fruit and vegetables were much bigger than what she expected. “Earth Pony Magic just keeps getting….bigger.”

”Yikes!”

”Thats’ gonna be hard to put in the juicer.” Siren and Sugarcake commented.

Izzy wandered a little more before she ran into Pipp and Swabna

“Pipp! Swanna! She chirped happily.

”Izzy! Maractus!” Pipp greeted back with Swanna giving a happy ‘Swan'!

”You knew about the craft fair too?” Izzy asked.

“It’s the only place to be. At least that’s what I’ve been saying on my socials.” Pipp smiled before going live for her Pippsqueaks. “That’s right everypony. The Maretime Bay Mane Street Craft Fair is the only place to be for the hottest crag tables wearables and stackable. Tell them Izzy.”

“Uh..what you just said Pipp. Because I don’t really removed what you said.” Izzy replied.

“Aaaaaand. Post!” Pipp cheered as she spotted the video online before the girls and their Pokemon started walking. “I heard that Sarah even has a stand here too.”

“Really!” Izzy squealed.

“Indeed I do.” Sarah giggled as the girls were humorously right next to her stand. “I figured I give this Crafts Fair a fair since I have a knack for crafting things all my own.”

Gesturing to her stand, Pipp, Swanna, Izzy and Maractus saw it and were astonished.

”Eeee! Sarah! This stand looks amazing!” Pipp squealed with glee as she live-streamed the stand to her fans. “Did you really make all of these things?”

"Well Discord created the stand and most of the items with her magic, but I quickly whipped up the food thanks to the inspiration from my family. My friend Mallow and I worked on different recipes together into this cookbook.” Sarah replied modestly showing the cookbook. “And with my magic I enchanted them with some helpful charms for the Pokémon and Equestrian Dragons.”

”And I also made lots of food for Ponies, Dragons and Pokemon alike.” Sarah displayed several trays of Malasadas, Fritter, Pokepuffs and more for the inhabitants.

She levitated two Malasadas for Swanna and Maractus which enjoyed them greatly as Pipp and Izzy enjoyed the Pokepuffs.

“Sarah, these are incredible.” Pipp smiled. “Ooh! Maybe you could make your own accessories business like Sunny did with her smoothies? You could even sell copies of the cookbook to others.”

“Hmm…well I guess having another source of income is always helpful and nothings wrong with helping others.” Sarah grinned before Pipp gasped dramatically.

"Oh my hoofness..." Pipp immediatealy livestream Sunny's mane-cessory to all her fans, "What is Sunny wearing?"

"It's the birthday present I made for her. It was a bracelet but she put it in her mane, so its that now." Izzy explained as Sunny prepared to juice some of the large fruit while Sarah slightly frowned at Izzy again.

“It’s everything~.” Pipp sang happily. "I'm calling it! This mane-cessory is the trend of the day. Come down to the craft-fair and get one for yourself, Pippsqueaks." Livestreaming Sunny slammed the large strawberry into the juicer but it made her fall onto the floor making Pipp giggle as Sunny repeated with a large cup of her head.

"Look at all these likes Izzy." Pipp showed Izzy and Sarah the feedback as the girls watched as ponies came to Sunny's stand, interested as well, "And look at that."

Izzy nervously laughed before she gulped.

Back at the Brighthouse, Hitch and Zipp were together watching Sparky frolick, "So you know how my hooves glowed when the ground moves and then I heroically saved Izzy?" Hitch began.

"Heroically." Zipp replied.

"Good. That's how I remember it too. You think all this Earth Pony Magic stuff is safe, right?"

"Of course, You Earth Ponies can grow plants with your hooves. How can that be bad?" Ryu replied.

"But I'm still investigating what else our powers can do," Zipp added. "Especially Sarah and Snowdrop's Alicorn Magic. I do know one things for sure; whatever anypony's 'sparkle' really starts to shine, their cutie marks glow." Zipp showed Hitch, Bounsweet and Ryu the pictures she took of different ponies with their magic activated at the same time their cutie marks glowed.

"But why?" Hitch wondered.

"Still a mystery. But I can't wait to figure it out." Zipp smiled.

"Can you figure out where Sparky went?" Hitch questioned seeing Sparky out of their view before seeing the baby Dragon munching on roses. "*Gasp* Sparky Sparkaronni! That is not healthy!"

"Sparky....Sparkarooni?" Zipp and Ryu echoed together.

"Yep Named him myself. Good huh?" Hitch smiled before Sparky started crying, a sign that he was tired. "This baby dragon needs a nap! I'll tuck him in." Hitch took his dragon son so he could be put down for a nap.

Back at the Craft Fiar, Sunny has just finished a smoothie for a earth pony customer. "Here you go."

Handing it to the pony, he slurrped it and commented, "You're smoothies are the best. What's your secret?"

"Well first I take a rally big strawberry and then--" Sunny began not seeing Izzy (whom somehow snuck into her truck) before she whispered to her.

"Psst! Sunny!"

"WOAH!

"What the-?"

"Izzy!"

"How did you-?" Sunny, Sugarcake, Sugarcoat and Siren gawked before Izzy pulled Sunny down out of view.

"Izzy, why are we hiding?"

"Shh! Pipp told everypony how great the gift I made for you is and now everypony wants one!"

"Isn't that a good thing?" Siren asked.

"No! I made that one for you! It was lightning in a glue bottle. What if I can't make another one?"

"Aw, you don't have to be afraid to share your special talents with everypony!" Sunny reassured.

"Right?" Pipp added as she and Swanna peered over the girls. "We pegasi always say let your creativity fly~" she giggled, "Come on, I'll show you!"

Pipp then yanked Izzy out of the truck and started down the street.

Up on the Maretime Bay Day bridge, Misty was still spying on the ponies from a distance before she sneakily crouched down and moved away, confusing one male pony.

"Oh you're over thinking it Izz, you don't have to make anything new. You just have to make the same thing but better!" Pipp advised.

"Like....I just have to copy myself?" Izzy asked.

"Yeah, but with a twist. That's what I do with my songs." Pipp smiled before she and Swanna landed, "Like this one." Taking out her phone (of course), she played a new song she was working on.

(All You Need is Your Beat - Make Your Mark)

First thing's first, you gotta look for the spark

That bit of magic way deep down in your heart

You gotta follow your beat (beat, beat)

And then soon you will see (see, see)

You won't have that far to go

Until your song starts to grow

All you need is your beat (your beat, your beat)

All you need is your groove (groove)

Hey, come on!

To get them stomping their hooves (hooves)

And then the next thing you'll know

Imagination will flow

All you need is your beat

All you need is your beat (beat)

All you need is your beat

Ba-da-da, ba-da-da

The small group happily clapped for the musical pegasus, "So...what do you think? Do you like the song?"

"I like its. Its exactly like the last one, but better...." Izzy smiled.

"I like it." Maractus grinned.

"Well what can I say?" Pipp laughed. "I know my brand."

"And now I know what I have to do. But I'm gonna need to go to the Crystal Brighthouse for supplies!"

"Oh! I'll go too. I need to white a new hit!" Pipp grinned before the two girls and their pokemon left.

Watching from her stand, Sarah smiled a little before Discord popped in beside her, "Do you honestly think Izzy will come to her senses?"

"If there's one thing I've learned with the ponies, Discord. The best way to teach them is the let them make room for their own decisions and give them advice and guidance now and again." Sarah smiled.

At the Brighthouse, Izzy was in her crafting mode, going through the closet full of supplies and picking out exactly what she needed for what she had in mind with the help of Maractus. "Has anypony seen my crafting glasses?" She asked aloud to nopony before they fell onto her face, "Nevermind!"

In her room with Swanna, Pipp was warming up her vocals while working on her new song before phone pinged with a message, "Oh a message. I guess I can take a tiny break." Answering it, she saw the message was When will your next new hit drop?

The question made her more frustated that she had writers block, "Oh I'll respond to that later. What I need now is a snack! Then make the new hit and then respond!" Pipp planned out before she fluttered down to the lower level and saw Izzy frustrated as well.

"No! No! That's not it!" Izzy exclaimed and the two girls came over.

"You okay Izzy?" Pipp asked.

"Ah! I can't decide what to make." Izzy sighed feeling a blank coming in for creative ideas.

"Ah, I know what's wrong. You have creative block." Pipp replied.

Izzy gasped, "Is is permanent?"

"Well lucky for you, I have the solution. You just need to listen to your fans and do what they want."

"Okay, that's, that's brilliant. Did you come up with that when you had creative block?"

"Me? I've never had creative block." Pipp admitted but turns out she was having it now.

"Well if you ever do, than you should listen to yourself before that totally heled. Now I just have to figure out how to bring all these supplies to the craft fair so I can my inspiration for pony fans." Izzy smiled before holding up two paper fans with Pipp's face in it, "Because these....these....didn't help..."

As she and Maractus went off to find a solution, Pipp approached the table and picked up one of the fans, "Now...what do I do? I'm so good at solving other ponies problems and not my own." she wondered to herself.

"Swanna Swann."

"I should just listen to....." Pipp gasped, "Myself! That's It! I gotta go to the place than makes my heart sing to find my sound!"

"Swanna!" Swanna happily smiled before the pair went off to Mane Melody.

On the stage, Pipp was practicing singing with Jazz Hooves and Rocky as an audience but she was having trouble finding the beat.

"That was almost it.." Jazz trailed.

"You're sweet. But that was so not it!"

"But you'll get there..."

Pipp paced a little before she gasped, "Wait what was that amazing advice that Izzy gave me that I gave her? Oh yeah! Listen to what the fans want! Looking at her phone, she saw three fillies which said.

"Make a new hit!"

"Just like the old one!"

"But better and different!"

".....That didn't help." Pipp deadpanned. "Huh...at least Izzy is having better luck."

At the Craft Fair Izzy managed to create a bracelet that was of similar structure to the one she gave Sunny and gave it to a customer, but the pony pointed out it wasn't the exact same one she created for Sunny before and passed on it, to her dismay. "I am just not feeling it." she frowned and Maractus patted her on the head for comfort.

"Marac."

"No. But its not about me. Gotta make stuff to please everypony else!" Izzy declared as she tried to work again.

At Sarah and Sunny's stands, they served serval more smoothies and Malasadas and the customers loved them but the duo spotted Izzy walking by with a large amount of supplies, making the pair take a break and follow her along with Discord and Snowdrop.

"Uh....Izzy?" Sarah called before Izzy turned to them.

"Do I look desperate?!" she asked with a crazed look in her eyes with leaves and paper in her mane, making the girls and Dsicord flinch.

"A little..." Sunny, Sarah and Discord trailed in unison.

"Good because I am super desperate! And I have o idea what I'm doing! I mean even my piles aren't towers anymore! Doesn't that say it all" Izzy frowned out of ideas.

"Izzy, you don't have to please everypony, what matter is that you like what you created."

"Don't you see. Nopony does it like Izzy does it." Sarah and Sunny reassured their down Unicorn friend.

"Making mess of things?" Izzy questioned.

"No! I mean that you can dream up such unique creations because of who you are." Sunny peached. "Dig deep and just...go back to your roots."

Izzy gasped, "Sweet Sause Horseshoe toss!" That response got confused glances from Sarah and Sunny, "Are you saying what I think you're saying?"

"I....yes. Yes I am." Sunny confirmed even though not knowing what she was saying.

Either way Izzy giggled and thanked the pair before gathering the supplies and moving off. With Izzy taken care of Sunny and Sarah went back to their stands together with Discord and Snowdrop.

Misty was in the crowd near Sarah's stand and staying out of view she placed a rainbow colored Compact Mirror on Sarah's stand and golden compact mirror on Sunny's stand as well, smirking before moving away.

At Mane Melody, Rocky, Jazz and Swanna saw the fillies outside the window waiting for Pipp's new hit.

"The Pippsqueaks are waiting!" Jazz urged.

"But we mustn't rush her process!" Rocky replied.

Before the trio turned and saw Pipp scrambling for new song ideas. "Ooh! How abut a power ballad?! No! That'll never work! Oh no, Oh no..." Pipp whimpered. "I'm finally out of hits!" she panted.

Meanwhile at Opaline's Dark Castle, the dark alicorn herself was sitting on her throne as Misty came in, "So nice of you to come home Misty." she began. "You've been gone so long I thought you got lost...." she leaped off her throne and spread her wings, "Like the time I rescued you as a filly! So kind of me to do that...."

Misty looked at her surrogate/adoptive mother, "So what have you found?"

"Uh, Uh I think....the stronger magic has something to with the Cutie Marks, Opaline." Misty replied stammering a bit in a voice.

"Don't 'think', you sound foolish." Opaline scolded.

"Maybe...if I had one I could figure it out and--"

"Enough!" Opaline snapped making Misty shrink a little. "How could the magic have anything to do with Cutie Marks?"

"They glow then it happens." Misty replied. "And the Earth Ponies, they can control the plants!"

"Hmmm..." Opaline muttered as she used her magic on the magical water pool in front, "New Magic. Well then....."even more reason to begin the plan. And when we're done...you'll get your cutie mark." Misty joined her adoptive mothers' side as they looked at the magical water.

"And I'll be even more powerful than I was before!" Opaline added before laughing manically.

Back at the Festival, Sunny and Sarah gave another customer a smoothie and malasada before spotting the bow wrapping items.

"Aww...Pipp must have left me a surprise birthday gift."

"Odd...where'd this come from?" Sunny and Sarah questioned curiously.

Snowdrop cooed at the mirror which had the symbol of an alicorn on it same as Sunnys while Discord himself was curious of it. "It appears to be somekind of mirror. Wonder whom planted it?"

"Don't know...." Sarah trailed before Discord packed up the stand for the day and they and Sunny, Siren, Sugarcoat and Sugarcake headed back to the Brighthouse where they saw Ryu, Zipp and Hawlucha outside.

"Hi boys, what is it?" Sunny asked.

"Izzy left a note." Zipp replied taking the note off the door, "B.R.B." she read before she paused. ".....F.B.B.B? What do you think that means?"

"I have no idea, but I hope its 'Izzy Code' for being inspired again." Sunny hoped.

Said happy-go-lucky unicorn and Maractus were running/galloping out in the open back to Bridlewood seeing the fluffy clouds and birds trying to come up with ideas. As she moved along she stumbled upon an old scooter that was rusted down.

Izzy gasped happily finally getting an true idea.

Back at the Brighthouse, Sparky and Snowdrop were playing with each other, "Hey, where's Izzy?" Hitch asked.

"I don't know. She left this note." Sunny replied handing the sheriff the note.

"B.R.B.F.B.B.B? What?" Hitch asked.

"Sometimes Izzy is a total mystery. Note to self: Learn to speak Izzy code."

"Agreed." Zipp and Sarah quipped.

"She reminds me of little Pinkie Pie with her strange ways." Discord smiled, reminiscing.

Unknowingly by them, Sparky and Snowdrop sneezed which struck Zipp's phone and Sarah's satchel turning them into a pepperoni and vegtable pizza. Sparky grabbed the pizza in his mouth but before he could eat it he sneezed again and it turned back into Zipp's phone.

Snowdrop, on the other hand giggled, and sneezed against turning the satchel back to normal.

"Maybe we should check on her to see if she needs any help?" Sunny suggested.

"I'm on it!" Hitch instantly volunteered before turning to her animal friends. "Deputies and princess, keep and eye out for Izzy!" They saluted and got to work.

Just then, Swanna and Pipp busted in with Pipp in pieces, "I feel terrible! I gave Izzy bad advice!"

"You were only trying to help a friend." Sunny calmed her down. "I'm sure she will come back soon."

"Oh no! She's not here?!" Pipp exclaimed devastated. "She's probably avoiding me..." Just then, the door opened and familiar voice chirped in.

"So turns out bird hates are not a thing, but guess what I made!" Izzy smiled.

"Izzy! the friends echoed seeing their friends safe and sound.

"No I didn't make Izzy's sillies." Izzy laughed as Sparky and Snowdrop hugged her legs. "I am Izzy."

"Where have you been?" Sarah asked.

"Didn't you read my note?" Izzy asked.

"B.R.B.F.B.B.B?" Pipp read.

"Be right back from Bridlewood Best Buddies." Izzy explained the expression.

"Ooooohhh....." the friends trailed now understanding what it meant

"Yeah.....that might have been obvious with the 'go back to your roots' advice we gave her Sunny." Sarah quipped.

"I realized I had to be more creative about being creative! And I needed more supplies." Izzy explained with Sparky and Snowdrop on her back now.

"So it wasn't something I said?" Pipp questioned.

"It was everything you said. You three taught me that in order to feel all sparkly and creative, I just need to be Izzy!"

"We did?" Pipp and Sunny echoed confused looking at each other.

"You ponies were right. My style was cramping and it was cramping yours too. Sometimes a pony needs open spaces for maximum craftability." Izzy cheered. "Come look."

Following the unicorn outside, the group saw she uni-cycled the old scooter she found and made it brand new once more painting it in a light blue coat with purple flowers on it. The group was at first speechless but amazed at what Izzy created all on her own.

"...I love it! Ah! Its perfect! Like wow!" Pipp praised. "Wait, what it is?"

"My Unicyling Cart!" Izzy declared as she leaped into the seat, "My trailer of treasures." She displayed multiple compartments built into it, for her supplies for crafting along with a retractable table, "My magic of whimsy. My-"

"Carriage of Creativity?" Sunny, Sarah and Discord concluded together.

"Boom! Zing! You got it!" Izzy laughed earning laughs from all the friends.

Sarah was interested in a small sash on the table with small pouches on it, "What's this?"

"My crafting sash!" Izzy smiled placing it on displaying the items inside of the small pouches including what she loved the most...glitter. "Glasses? Check. Tape? Check? Glitter? Whoo! And alot of other things I'd need on the go. Or even on the stay." She displayed a small sketchbook with Sparky and Snowdrop's faces painted on it.

Making the baby Dragon and Alicorn cooed happily and leap over to it, loving it. "So cool! I need to post about this." Pipp smiled taking out her phone.

"*Gasp*! Pipp, just just inspired me!" Izzy declared before taking Pipp's phone.

"You inspired her to steal?" Hitch inquired confused.

"I'm just borrowing!" Izzy's voice came from a distance.

"That's okay then."

"Everythings okay. And Pipp, I almost forgot, thank you for the mirror. I love the Alicorn design." Sunny thanked.

"Mirror? What Mirror?" Pipp asked and Sunny showed Pipp the compact Mirror she got as a present.

"The one you left on my cart. Sarah got one too." Sarah showed her Mirror as well to Pipp's added confusion.

".....I didn't give you that mirror. I was at Mane Melody for most of the day trying to think of a song..." Pipp trailed feeling uneasy.

".....Well.....if you didn't leave them for us..."

"Who did....?" Sarah and Zipp trailed off having an uneasy feeling about the mirrors.

"Note to self: Mysterious Mirrors given to only Sarah and Sunny. Suspicious." Zipp noted to herself.

"Well, try it out Sunny." Pipp suggested opening them up, "Looks great!"

Sarah, Izzy and Hitch joined in front behind as they all shared a laugh with each other....as Opaline watched the whole thing thanks to the mirror connection to her magical pool.

"So these are the weak little ponies brought the magic back?" Opaline questioned. "And....there's something unique about that Alicorn..." Opaline looked closely at Sarah and saw the Sun Sword and Moon Shield on her body.

"Almost like anypony could do it." Misty chimed in.

"Sure, if they have a cutie mark." Opaline scoffed making Misty turned sadly at her blank flank.

Sunny and Sarah then closed the mirrors to Opaline's distress as it returned to the image of the Brighthouse and Castle of Friendship side by side, "What? No! Why did it stop?!"

"They went inside. Maybe the Crystal Brighthouse and Castle of Friendship won't let us watch?" Misty suggested.

"Did you just make that up?" Opaline asked not pleased.

"I was just guessing-"

"Well stop, Because you don't know what you're talking about!" Opaline scolded. "They must have put a cloaking enchantment on the Castle and Brighthouse.

"Like the one that used to be around Equestria."

"If it won't let me see the inside from here....then one of my allies must find a way in."

Misty perked up, "Me?"

"Don't be presumptuous, Misty." Opaline frowned. "It unbecoming." Opaline walked away as Misty frowned, lowering her ears and watching the holographic image of the Brighthouse.

At said Brighthouse, all the ponies were celebrating Sunny's birthday party with the Brighthouse decorated in party decorations and all the participants wearing hats and eating strawberry shortcake, all thanks to Discord.

"This is the best birthday ever! Thanks everypony. And I'm so happy Izzy's back and inspired again." Sunny thanked.

"So am I..." Pipp added before she sighed, "But there's still one problem."

"What's that?" Hitch asked.

"I still haven't figured out a new hit song. It just hasn't clicked.

Just then, the door slammed opened and Izzy's voice came, "Pipp! She apparently took Pipp's phone and created what looked to be a record playing. "Try this out!"

Pipp fluttered over and pressed her phone as it played her old song, "Izzy...its' my old song but its...." Pipp breathed.

"Yeah." Izzy nodded.

"Unicycled. Um, genius!"

"Sing it Pipp!" Izzy smiled and with her Cutie Mark glowing, Sparky and Snowdrop, Discord, Zipp, Sunny, Hitch, Izzy and Sarah dancing along with their pokemon, Pipp sang her new hit song to everypony.

Glowing hooves, all the earth po-onies

Unicorn lights beneath the trees

We're not just one (not one, not one)

It's you and me (it's you and me)

(Ponies living large)

In unity-ty-ty-ty (Ohh oo-oh)

All you need is your beat

Chapter 2: Episode 2: Growing Pains

“It’s another beautiful day in Maretime Bay.” Hitch smiled as he was walking through the peaceful and quiet steets. “The sun is shining the Pegasi are flying and absolutely nothing can go, WRONG?!”

Suddenly his calm demeanor turned shocked when he found Daliah near his station and vines blocking the exit. “Oh hi Hitch. Sorry about this. I was trying to open the station for you.” She apologized. “I know you don’t like magic.”

“Whaat? Me not like magic? Pfft!” Hitch tried to play off. “I’m totally cool with it now.”

Looking at Daliah with a nervous smile the camel Earth Pony left before Keith chirped at him. “What Keith?!” Hitch exclaimed and Keith mimicked someone looking at a watch to check the time.

“Oh right! I’m already late for my morning rounds!” Hitch panicked an galloped to do his morning rounds but….

“Good Morning Sheriff Hitch.” Three fillies; Glory, Peach Fuzz and Seashell called to the Sheriff in a odd situation; being caught in Seashell’s magical vine.

Glory was a young light blue pegasus pony with a pink ribbon on her tail, white hooves, blue eyes, pink and white feathers on her wings and has her mane and tail being light purple with light blue lines.

Seashell herself was a young purple Earth pony with white socks, pink hooves, she has green eyes and green mane and tail. Her cutie mark is a green conch shell and two pink stars

Peach was a young orange unicorn with light green eyes and red hooves. Her mane and tail are white with blue, yellow and red streaks, she wears a red ribbon on her tail. Her cutie mark is a red peach with some sparkles around it.

“Gah!” Hitch yelled before trying to recompose himself. “I mean…g-great job Seashell. L-let me help you down.” Hitch helped the three filled down from the vine.

”Thanks.”

”We we’re actually stuck.”

”Magic is pretty wild Huh?” Peach, Seashell and Glory quipped.

“Too wild of you ask me.” Hitch squealed nervously.

”Oh no. Are you upset?” Peach Fuzz asked.

“Me?! Upset? About magic? Never!” Hitch reassured.

”So we can use all the magic we want then? No rules? No holding back?” Seashell asked excitedly.

”Woah, Woah little fillies.” Sarah chided as she and Race hovered down to the scene.

“Just because Hitch is a bit on edge cause of magic it doesn’t mean he’ll-“ Race started before Hitch interrupted.

”You we’re holding back!” Hitch quipped nervously, “Uh….of course.”

That earned shocked jaws from Sarah and Race before the three fillies declared together loud and clear, “HITCH SAYS USE ALL THE MAGIC YOU WANT! DON’T HOLD BACK EVERYPONY!”

“Ohhh…this won’t end well.” Sarah frowned knowing everypony heard that including Sprout, whom was working with his buddies and bragging about his magic being the most powerful out of the trio. The two ponies didn’t believe him and walked off as he tried to activate his magic which worked but it created a large grapefruit plant behind him.

“Uh-oh! That’s a new feature!” Sprout quipped before two large grapefruits fell off, forcing him to run. “My magic is too powerful! RUUUNNN!”

His two buddies turned behind them and yelled at the rolling fruit and ran away from them.

“It’s everypony for themselves!” His friend yelled and Hitch, Sarah and Race saw the huge grapefruits rolling and bouncing side to side as Sprout and his buddies dodged them frantically.

“Berry Attack! This is not a drill!” Hitch exclaimed and moved to get ponies out of the way.

“Race! Shield Trap!” Sarah exclaimed and Race nodded at her. Sarah flew in front of one berry as it was getting closer to her as Race ran behind it and together they used their magic to create a magical Shield around the rolling berry catching it and making it splatter into berry juice.

“Fruity crisis averted.” Sarah smiled to herself as she and Race dropped their shield and Sarah picked up the berry remains with her magic and conjured up secret jars and placed the remains inside. “This should be helpful for Sunny’s business.”

Hitch pushed other ponies out of the way but he tripped into a cart and rolled down the street before his cart bumped into a book and made him fall out. The cart also caused the berry to launch high into the air.

“AAAAAHHHH!”

SPLAT!

The berry smashed into Hitch and coated him and part of the street in berry remains and juice. “Yes….just another day in Maretime Bay.” Hitch sighed as he laid down, slightly discouraged.

(The scene opens up with Sunny and Sarah roller skating out of the Brighthouse and Castle of Friendship together before Sunny changed into an Alicorn and their cutie marks appeared behind them)

Hey!

You gotta let it glow

Hey!

You gotta let it shine

(Switching to Zipp and Pipp, the sisters were flying above the clouds together before Zipp flew in front of Zephyr Heights as her cutie mark appeared behind her while Pipp appeared in the Mane Melody stage with Jazz Hooves and Rocky signing as her cutie mark appeared behind her.)

Oh, let's make our mark together

Just riding on forever

Just keeps on getting better, better, better

(Izzy is seen next uni-cycling before she happily leaps up and shows her cutie mark in the background)

(Hitch and Sparky come out of the Police Station together with Hitch's animal friends as he poses and Sparky flies off his back as Hitch's cutie mark is shown)

Everypony, everywhere

You can feel it in the air

Find your spark and just glow and shine

(Opaline's Dark Castle is shown next with the evil Alicorn and Misty in front of what appears to be a magical pool of water as Opaline smirks evilly before the final scene features Sarah, her family, the Mane Five, the Mighty Ones, their Pokemon all together walking and flying to the beat as Sunny's lantern is shown with Prisbeam Power inside of it before the title appears with the Mane Five, Mighty Ones and Sarah all together as Sunny changes into her Alicorn form)

Make a mark that you can share

Hoof to heart, you know we care

Oh ponies, come on, let's all unite

Trials of Sarah: Mark Your Mark

Sunny opened her Smoothie truck for business before she noticed Hitch walking by coated in glimmerberry juice and couldn't help but laugh as she and Sarah joined him at his side, "Wish I could have been around earlier. Sounds like you made a real impact." she joked and laughed.

"Ha, ha, ha." Hitch frowned and he pulled the vines off of the Police Station door. "Laugh all you want Sunny, but fruit juice funck can stay in your mane for weeks."

"Oh well, looks like someone had a chaotic morning." Discord chimed in gleefully as he popped beside Hitch and the girls.

"Ugh...not now Discord." Hitch frowned.

"This plant-powered magic is something special." Sunny declared. "Growing stuff at the stop of your hooves! Incredible!"

"Ugh, more like incredibly unpredictable. I mean we don't even know all that it can do yet."

"Earth Magic is highly complex, Hitch, there's no telling what can come without some guidance." Sarah advised.

"Well we know enough. Like, you and Sarah seemed to be the only ponies who can understand animals as Sarah can understand her Pokemon and Dragons and Mythical Creatures. But have you tried to grow anything yet?"

"To be honest, I'm to after this morning." Hitch admitted.

"Come on, you can't judge all Earth Pony Magic on one little mishap." Sunny reassured.

"Yeah, one bad mistake doesn't make all magic horrible." Sarah added.

Hitch sighed, "Maybe you just need to see the scene of slime for yourselves."

At the old Canterlogic Factory, Hitch, Sunny, Sarah and Discord interrogated Sprout who grew the glimmerberry plant. "I swear, I don't know what happened." he repeated. "All I did was stomp my hoof. Like this." Stomping his hoof, his Earth Pony magic activated and effected the plant to Hitch's fear.

"Stop the Stomping!" Hitch exclaimed and Sprout stopped before it could disturb the plant behind him. "First Maretime Bay gets shook up with magic and I said nothing!"

"Uh that's not true. I actually said alot." Sunny pointed out.

"Then Earth Pony Magic came. Now I say something!" Hitch frowned before walking away. "I keep this place safe and its too dangerous without rules."

"But if your magic produces crops and fruit in this perfect condition, you'd be able to feed yourselves and god know how many others, Hitch. I used my Plant Growth to help in the garden where I plant Carrots and such for my family." Sarah praised.

"There's no limit to what it can do. We can't cut off a whole planet of possibilities." Sunny added.

"More like a cosmos of calamities!" Hitch argued.

Sunny groaned, "But how are Earth Ponies gonna grow and learn....and learn with restrictions?"

Sprout sneezed cause of some dust from cleaning up the mess which activated his magic and affected the plant, making it grow bigger.

Sunny nervously chuckled, "Uh just consider what I'm saying before you jump to conclusions."

Hitch sighed, but claimed, "I'll think about it, but the safety of ponies in Maretime Bay is my top priority." Sunny and Sarah took some of the glimmerberry juice from Hitch's chest before he went to clean it off.

Tasting the berry, Sunny and Sarah liked the taste alot before they took out their Alicorn Mirrors to look at them selves.

At her Dark Castle, Opaline gasped seeing Sarah and Sunny, "Misty quick! Those Alicorns are using the mirrors we gave them! Soon their magic will be-" Just then, Sunny and Sarah closed their mirrors before the holographic image showed them in front of the Canterlogic Factory, "Teasing us as it trots away!"

Opaline made the image disappear for the moment, "Why have they barely used it? If it was me. I'd have checked my pout every minute on the minute!"

"And what a pout it is, Opaline." Misty chimed in cheerfully. "Equal parts chilling and charming!"

"Don't pander to me, Misty." Opaline scoffed before she walked over to the magical mirror pool, "Even though you are right. Well now its time for me to tell you something else to do." Her horn started to glow and Misty nervously whispered.

"Uh.."

Back at Maretime Bay, an hour passed before Hitch held a meeting in front of the police station. Zipp, Hawlucha, Pipp, Swanna, Izzy, Maractus, Sunny and her guardians, Sarah (holding Snowdrop in her arm), her Mentors, Zeraora, Zoura, Snowdrop, Discord and their pokemon were in the crowd as they listened.

"Ahem, I know we started the day with a pretty disastrous---I mean magical morning. After surveying the recent magical changes in Maretime Bay and the messy ways they have disturbed our daily lives, I have decided there will be no use of Earth Pony magic whatsoever!" Hitch declared to the crowds shock as they gasped.

"Until I've collected enough data from all of you to form proper registrations and guidelines. "Hitch added which got groans from the Earth Ponies. "I assure you, this is all for your own safety. We don't know what's possible with Earth Pony Magic yet. Until I've taken proper inventory of every flight, float, flora and fauna power, magic is off limits. That is all."

Just then Discord teleported next to Hitch, "Or maybe you should talk to the Alicorn who has the same magic as your Earth Ponies." Discord gestured to Sarah who lowered her ears at all the eyes looking at as she nervously chuckled and waved to them.

"I just said magic is off limits Discord, which goes for Alicorn Magic too!" Hitch barked.

"How else are ponies gonna learn how to harness their new magic if they avoid the one pony who has the magic all three pony kinds and has been practicing for years compared to you?" Discord questioned as he floated over to Sarah.

Hitch groaned and just walked away from Discord, not listening to him only to get an earful from Sunny, "I thought you said you weren't going to do anything drastic!"

"No! I said I would think it over and my thoughts are telling me its bad and its gonna get worse if I don't step up."

"Ugh, but Earth Pony Magic is powerful!" Sunny exasperated.

"Exactly! Too Powerful!" Hitch barked. "What's gonna happen if we have more mishaps. It's my job to make sure everypony is safe."

"Earth Ponies need to practice. Like Pegasi and Unicorns had to!" Sunny added.

"And everypony is safer with magic once they learn how to fully control it." Sarah chimed in.

"What are you gonna do if another villain like Scarlet Nightmare or this Opaline appears here and Pegasi and Unicorns's magic can't deal with them alone, leaving only Earth Pony magic to save the day." Keldeo added.

The friends spotted Seashell, Peach Fizz and Glory tied up in Seashell's vines again, "Growing pains, they'll get it," Sunny reassured.

"Guessing you ponies were too tied up for the town hall meeting earlier?" Hitch sarcastically joked. "Just a little reminder of the rules." Conveniently he made Anti-Earth Pony Magic stickers which had a red outline, purple background with a vine crossed out in the middle. He placed them on the three fillies hooves as they sighed in sadness.

Virizion used Sacred Sword and got the fillies down from the vine.

"Sunny and Sarah have a point Hitch. It's too early to know if Earth Pony Magic is anything to worry about." Zipp agreed.

Hitch sighed, "Look I'm part of the reason why Earth Pony magic is here now. What if I become the reason Earth Ponies get hurt. As Sheriff I can't let that happen!"

During a little montage, the group began conducting their research and test on the Earth Ponies new magic starting with Daliah whom coated herself in many Gardenia flowers which she was ironically allergic too. Next was an earth pony growing a Watermelon to normal size but when he tried handing on to Zipp, his magic caused the Watermelon to explode.

Pipp and Swanna were conducting their own test as they saw the Earth Ponies actually changing the color of the plants and vines that sprouted.

"The Magic is out of control!" Pipp exclaimed as the group regrouped as the Earth Ponies magic began to become unstable!

Hitch's own hooves started glowing green, "WAH! What does this mean!"

"I think it has something to do with the glowing hooves. I don't think you're suppose to hold your magic within." Zipp stated.

"Zipp's right. You're magic is meant to be expelled into the magical energies of the earth. If you tried to keep it in the magic will fight against it and come out anyway." Sarah added.

Hitch fretted, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have tried to put a pause on Earth Pony Magic. I should have gone straight to the Unity Crystal Pins! When ponies united, the Unity Crystal were created, everypony got their magic back. Maybe if we remove the Earth Pony Crystal-"

"WHAT?!" Sarah and Sunny barked in together.

"No! That's not what I meant!" Sunny added.

"You were right Sunny. Earth Pony Magic is powerful. Too powerful! We never had it before! Why do we need it now!" Hitch exclaimed before running towards the Crystal Brighthouse with the gang running or flying behind him.

"Hitch, you're going about this all wrong!" Sarah tried to change his mind. "The Unity Crystals are not the cause or the problem!"

"This is the only way to keep Maretime Bay safe!"

"Making rash decision is never safe and keeps nopony safe!"

The group made it to the Brighthouse and soon found themselves where the Unity Crystal Pins were in the Prismbeam Rainbow. "Taking the Earth Pony Crystals out is to keep everypony safe from mayhem."

"Woah, woah, slow your roll! You don't know that!" Zipp debated.

"Removing a Crystal is not like flipping a switch. We could lose everything just like we did with Scarlet Nightmare when we lost our magic before! You must remember that. We were helpless against her and her minions until Sarah and her family showed us where we went wrong. When we united in friendship it restored the Unity Crystals and gave us back our magic and defeated her. If we repeat history than this Opaline character could come back with a vengence....is that what you want...?" Sarah preached to Hitch.

Thinking about she said, Hitch reminisced about the sacrifice Sarah made to restore Equestria to its former glory which nearly ended with her being stone forever if not for Ryu, the Mighty Ones and all of the Dragons and Pokemon of Equestria.

"....You're....right....What was I thinking..." Hitch breathed realizing the error of his ways. "This isn't me! Guess I'm just...scared and unsure. Magic doesn't operate by any rules. Rule are what I know! But if I can't be the Sheriff everypony needs now?"

"You'll always be strong Sheriff Hitch because you care." Sunny reassured her fillyhood friend.

"I'm sorry everypony. I just love Maretime Bay so much. But maybe having less magic isn't the answer." Hitch apologized.

"You were just very scared of your own magic cause you never had it before. To be honest. Before I realized my Sword was magical, I was pretty sacred of what I found too, especially with the prophecy that came with it, but instead of running away from my past, I embraced and you all saw how it turned out, we defeated my Uncle and Team Eclipse for good....together."

Hitch smiled at his Alicorn friend, "I'm sorry I didn't listen to you..."

"It's okay Hitch." Sarah smiled as the pair shared a hug together with the Mane Five joining in together, which caused all of their Cutie Mark's magic to combine into the crystal.....revealing the holographic projection of Twilight Sparkle, the Guardian of Magic and Princess of Friendship.

Sarah gasped as did everyone else.

"Is that..."

"It can't be..."

"But it is..."

"What filter is that?!

"It's not a filter at all

"Twilight?"

"The Twilight Sparkle, the Princess of Friendship and Guardian of Harmony!"

"No way!" Cobalion, Terrakion, Keldeo, Pipp, Zipp, Sarah, Sunny and Izzy breathed in awe.

"If you are seeing this. Magic is now more powerful than ever before and the return of our allies has commenced once again and Earth Pony Magic has been activated for the first time in the history of Equestria. Magic is alive. Always changing, growing stronger. There are evil forces out there who will want to exploit it. Once a pony tried to steal all the magic in Equestria for herself by pitting Earth Ponies, Pegasi and Unicorns against each other and succeeded in driving them apart for many moon. She almost succeeded in stealing all the magic from Equestria including from our allies too. I did all that I could to protect it and our allies..." the hologram started to fizz a little, "by summoning all of my magical strength to achieve placing the magic in the three Unity Crystals and the....." it fizzed again. "But the spell is broken. You are exposed to the world once again. You must watch out fo Op-before she op-I am with you."

With that the hologram vanished, leaving everyone in total awe and shock at what they just witnessed.

".....Did that....just happen?" Zoura breathed.

"Yeah.....just like Discord said, Twilight used all of her magic to place all the worlds magic into the Unity Crystals to protect them from Opaline. But what this spell she talked about that was broken."

"She said we were exposed to the world once again." Sarah and Zipp wondered.

"When she used all of her magical strength, she created a large force field around Equestria at the same time.....keeping it hidden from evil threats like Opaline whom would want to steal the magic of Equestria as many villains' did times before." Discord explained. "Now the spell is broken and most likely Opaline knows this."

Speaking of the evil pony herself she and Misty were watching the mayhem unfolding in Maretime Bay. "Ugh, if its another complication of my hooves Misty, I don't want to hear it. 'Hooftastic isn't a word and I refuse to acknowledge it."

"No, the Earth Pony Magic is getting worse!"

"Magic isn't getting worse. It's growing into something it never have been." Opaline replied observing the events unfold.

"But if its growing this fast? How're we going to stop it. Oh no, no, no. We won't be stopping it anything, Misty. In fact, we're going to let it thrive. So that when we pluck it, it will be the most powerful it has ever been." Opaline manically laughed and Misty attempted to copy for adoptive mother but she didn't do it right and Opaline scoffed.

"If you're going to maniacally laugh with my Misty. At least me in sync. Ready?" Together, Misty and Opaline manically laughed once more.

The Pegasi we’re trying to control the spiting vines but the magic from them was beginning to be too much and now there were flowers on the buildings. “Forget what I said earlier! Use your magic as much as you can!” Hitch exclaimed.

”But this time you have to focus and control your magic. You tell your magic what to do not the other way around. Embrace it now.” Sarah advised. The Earth Ponies listened to the Alicorn Princess and concentrated their magic, focusing and their magic spread to the vines and plants making them shrink and vanish from the city. “That’s it. Express yourself to the extreme!” Izzy cheered as the vines vanished one by one.

Near the old Canterlogic Factory, Sprout, still a bit rusty used his magic and made a allege grape plant vanish. “Yes!” However the magic backfired greatly and created a huge grape fruit as large as the building!

“Uh-oh!”

One of the large grapes came off of the tree naturally thanks to gravity and nearly crushed Sprout if he had not dodged it!

“Waaahhh!” Sprout scream as he ran down th street and everypony saw the large grape rolling down the street and even worse Seashell, Glory and Peach Fuzz did it again and got themselves caught in Seashells vines!

“The follies!”

“Oh no!”

”They’re gonna get smashed!” Sarah, Izzy and Hitch gawked in horror.

“My pipsqueaks!” Pipp cried as the Mane Six, Race and Sarah ran towards the scene and stood in front of the giant grape.

“Link hooves just like we did around our Unity Crystals. Our magic is stronger together.” Hitch called as the grape for closer.

The Mane Five and Sarah linked their hooves together with Sarah and Race’s horns glowing as were Hitch’s hooves making him hesitant.

“Remember Hitch, embrace your new magic instead of resisting it.” Sarah advised.

“Just trust yourself, Hitch. You already have all you need.” Sunny added.

Together the Mane Five’s hooves and cutie marks glowed together they all combined their magic to create a large tree with crystalline flowers sprouting from the branches.

“The trees right in the berries path! Were protected! We’re gonna save the fillies. I can’t believe we’re actually going to do it!” Hitch smiled as Sunny laughed but when the berry collided with the tree it splattered and would’ve coated the ponies but Sarah and Race quickly shells everyone with their magic.

”Alicorn and Unicorn Magic Shield.” Sarah chuckled.

Baby Snowdrop cooed at the Barry remains and flew out of her mothers hooves. “Snowdrop!” Sarah cried in worry before the baby Alicorn giggled and turned the mess into beautiful chalk art on the ground!

“Woah!”

”Snowdrop!”

”Gorgeous!”

”Beautiful!”

”Cool!” The Mane Five breathed in awe

Snowdrop cooed before she fluttered over to the trapped follies and touching the plant with her horn, making it vanish and the fillies dropped to the floor.

Snowdrop giggled before she fluttered back into her mothers arms. “You’re a creative little folly just like me and Auntie Izzy, aren’t you?” Sarah cooed proud of her Alicorn daughter.

Snowdrop babbled and hugged her mother.

The ponies all cheered for the heroes of the day, “See. Earth pony magic is something special. Who knew you could grow a whole tree?” Sunny smiled at the tree in front of them.

Upon closer inspection Zipp and Ryu saw the tree had something familiar about it.

“Speaking of which have you seen this thing? It’s like five sparkle filters combined!” Pipp smiled taking her phone to take a picture as did Zipp but for research purposes.

”Zipps Phone 301: Flowers from magical tree look familiar somehow. Must investigate.”

”You were right Sarah and Sunny. I shouldn’t have tried to control all that magic, especially my own.” Hitch smiled.

“It’s okay Hitch. I know Magic can be a bit scary and unpredictable but you have to learn to go with its flow and not try to control every aspect of it. Magic works in mysterious ways and can affect many things as well.” Sarah grinned before they group heard a loud crash from the Police Station.

“What was that? It sounded like it was coming straight from the station.” Sunny exclaimed as the group saw green smoke coming from it.

Hitch gasped, “Sparky!”

Rushing inside, the group saw Sparky laughing as he sneezed again and his dragonfire....made balloons appear!

"Dragonfire that makes...balloons." Zoura quipped.

"Now that's a never before seen power of dragonfire." Keldeo smiled.

"You're a mysterious little dragon, aren't you Sparky." Sarah cooed at the baby Dragon who laughed at her.

"Right...now...we've got a new mystery on our hooves." Zipp declared. "Finding out the whole history of what happened to Equestria..."

Everyone nodded with their new mission at hand.

Return to Equestria

Author's Note: This special takes place after the Journey for the Royal Family Special and may contain some spoilers as to what occurs in the previous special, but this is in honor of the new Netflix Special, so I couldn't wait to write this.

Enjoy Readers!

Today, we find Sarah and her whole family back in Equestria together thanks to Sarah’s Equestria Pin to visit Sunny and their Equestria friends, to see how they’ve been doing ever since they left and helped them again Team Eclipse.

“Wow, look at the Lighthouse….” Mai gawked at Sunny’s rebuild Lighthouse, which was now called the Crystal Brighthouse which was where she, Izzy, Pipp and Zipp now live together with their pokemon and the Mighty Ones.

“Amazing!” Nikki smiled in awe.

"So this is your friends Equestrian world, Island Girl?" Race questioned being an Unicorn like Tsukumaro with his skin being tanish and his mane and tail being a darker brown with a red and blue streaks in it and his pokeball sash was on his right side.

“It’s been a long while since we’ve been here.” Delilah grinned seeing the clear skies. “Everything’s is at peace again, thanks you and your family, honey.”

“Hehe…” Sarah smiled and blushed at her mothers’ praise. “Aw Mom, we didn’t do that much….”

“Now sweetheart, you and your family united the ponies against their enemy and destroyed her and her armada forever.” Doug smiled, hugging his daughter. “We couldn’t be more prouder of you.”

“Hehe…” Sarah blushed.

“Let’s go see Sunny and her friends again!” Mai giggled, leaping up and down happily.

Chuckling, the family headed into Maretime Bay which was now home to all three ponykinds, Pokemon and Dragons just like Zephyr Heights and Bridlewood now. They found Sunny and her friends doing a livestream with Pipp’s phone in the middle of Main Street.

“Hey everypony, I live here in Maretime Bay with my friends. A lot has changed here in the past few months since Sarah and her family came. Earth Ponies used to stay in Maretime Bay just like how Unicorns always stayed in Bridlewood and Pegasi never left Zephyr Heights, but when Sarah and her family came here and helped bring together the Equestria Crystals and defeat Scarlet Nightmare and her forces it brought us back together! All Ponykinds were reunited in friendship. Now anypony can live anywhere.” Sunny smiled.

“And we have Magic, Pokemon and Dragons again, having returned from the PokeDragon Isles! Eeehehe!” Sunny giggled before a Pegasi flew by and accidentally knocked the fruit bag onto the ground which Izzy levitated the fruit. “Well the unicorns and pegasi have magic.” she giggled before dropping on onto her horn. “Ta-da. Now you Sunny, show everypony what you can do.”

The camera turned back onto Sunny, “Yeah turn into an Alicorn. Eee! That’s an Earth Pony, Pegasus and Unicorn all in one.”

“So like me and my family then?” a voice came before the Mane Five and the camera turned and saw Sarah and her family back in Equestria.

“Eee! Sarah! You’re back!” Sunny smiled hugging her best friend. “And you brought your whole family!”

Doug and Deliah's pony forms were Alicorns like Sarah with the same fur color but Doug's wings feathers were golden yellow while Deliah's was purple-blue. Doug's mane and tail were black with a yellow streak in the middle while Deliah's mane and tail were light blue with a dark purple streak in the center. The pair clothing changed to match their new appearance but they had pins of Nebby and Nebula on them.

David and Donna’s Alicorn forms held their skin color while holding their clothing too with David having pure golden streaks in his mane and tail and Donna have small gems in her mane and tail.

“Hehe, well magic powers or not. I think everypony can agree our lives are much better now that we’re together again.” Sunny smiled.

“You know it~" Pipp sang. “Okay Sunny, do the thing.”

Sunny smiled. “Do you like super fun times, do you like learning more about Earth Pony traditions and tasting local treats? Do you wanna see ponies perform in a big concert?”

“Yes, you bet and yes!” Izzy smiled before making sound noises happily.

“Then you should come to our annual Maretime Bay Day festival for a day of fun in the sunshine. It’s gonna be a blast and I’m not just talking about the fireworks show. Hehehe, all pony kinds, Pokemon and Dragons are welcome!”

“Maretime Bay Festival? Sounds like fun.” Keldeo smiled.

“Can we go Mama? Please Please?” Nebby and Nebula questioned with the puppy dog eyes.

Sarah chuckled at her two babies, “Okay, okay no need for the puppy dog eyes, we can go.” she replied rubbing the pair on their heads.

“Yeah/Yeah/Yeah!” Her family cheered happily before hearing Pipp’s horror gasp and, “Catch my phone!”

Turns out a seagull overheard Hitch talking about the events and foods at the carnival and flew overhead to see the carmel popcorn emojis on Pipp’s phone which it decided to take, thinking they were real.

Either way, the group chased the little bird through out and to the outskirts where the seagull dropped and Izzy tried to to get it with her magic but her magic went in and out for some reason, catching Sarah’s attention before she managed to stabilize it as she tripped over and rock and slid into some flowers and a mailbox.

“I got it!” she called as her friends chuckled and Izzy blew leaves out of her face. “Oh look its still on.” Izzy levitated Pipp’s phone back to her.

“See you at the festival.” Pipp smiled before ending the livestream.

“You okay Izzy?” Sunny asked.

“Oh yeah, oh yeah. You know a little bit of ground glitter never hurt anypony.” Izzy smiled.

“Ground glitter…..their leaves and flowers…” Sho frowned confused with a yellow question mark on the side of her.

“Izzy’s a very…unique unicorn, Sho..” Sarah replied sheepishly. “But she’s optimistic so, just go along with her, okay?”

“Okay.” Sho smiled.

“Well thank hoofness for magic.” Sunny smiled.

“Oh yeah.”

“Definitely.”

“For sure.” Izzy, Pipp and Zipp agreed with their friend.

“Well I for one do not agree.” a voice came before the group saw a yellow earth pony with light brown hooves. She hasd a pink tail tied in a green bow, and similarly a pink mane tied back in a ponytail with a green bow. Her eyes were green and she wears a beaded necklace with a five-leafed clover. Her Cutie Mark was a ring of six pink tulips with green stems.

“Is this one of your flowers Posey. Sorry, we’ll fix it right away.” Sunny apologized.

“No what I meant was I wish that magic, Pokemon and Dragons had never come back. And I’m not the only pony around here who thinks so.” Posey frowned.

“Say what now?” Liberty questioned.

“What do you mean?”

“You Pegasi and Dragons are always flying too fast, or too low or too high up.”

“What’s wrong with flying high up?” Nikki deadpanned.

“Ugh! I just don’t like it okay!” Posey growled before turning to Tsukumaro and Izzy. “And everytime I’m at the market there’s some smug Unicorn and their pokemon trying to shop. I almost got hit in the head by a bag of floating apples yesterday. Magic is not very safe especially for those ponies who don’t have it.”

Posey went over to Hitch and James, “Right Sheriff Hitch and you?”

“Uh….I don’t know if I would say that…” Hitch trailed.

“Uh…..actually. I…do have magic.” James admitted. “I can understand plant and animals..hehe.”

“What?!” Posey exclaimed and growled, earning a squeak from James who hid behind Terrakion. Posey continued turning towards Sarah, her real parents and grandparents “And Alicorns haven’t been seen for moons so why are these five suddenly back and they don't have cutie marks either?”

Her last comment, made Sarah and her family look at their right flanks and realize they really didn't have cutie marks like Sunny and the others, which they never noticed before, given their mission by Zekrom.

“Hey, don’t be a meanie to Mama Sarah and her family.” Tyrunt frowned.

“Have you gotten my Mother’s birth parents are your greatest allies.” Tyrantrum added.

“You should be grateful to them for getting rid of that she-witch Scarlet Nightmare and her pasi of Shadow Pokemon Dragons or else things would be drastically different for you puny ponies.” Eternatus growled.

Posey scoffed at the Gigantic Pokemon, “Everyponys’ still learning how to use it. Magic takes practice.” Sunny reassured the disdain Earth Pony.

Posey scoffed as she walked towards her house, “Then they should do it somewhere else other than my garden.” then she slammed the door harshly.

“Okay wow, she was really nice right guys?” Izzy asked, earning eye rolls from the group.

“More like buzzkill and instigator.” Zoura quipped.

“I agree, especially saying Magic, Pokemon and Dragons shouldn’t have returned.” Arriety. “If you haven’t brought them together this Scarlet Nightmare she-witch would be ruling all of Equestria.”

“Let’s leave before she chews us out again for no reason.” Danielle suggested and the group took their leave as Izzy fixed Posey’s garden and mailbox. Sunny stayed behind for a bit to see Posey moving the blinds in front of her windows.

“Don’t worry Posey. I’m gonna show you and everypony just how amazing Magic can be.” Sunny vowed before joining her friends.
