Episode Four: The Power of the Keyblade
ACT ONE
Location: The Castle of True Believers
Charlie was in his bedroom writing on his journal.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
After we beaten Matthew, my friends and I used our Keyblades to rebuild and expand the Castle of the Two Sisters, but now it's called the Castle of True Believers. Before we had a Castle-Warming Party, in which Pinkie Pie had called it, Celestia and Luna showed us to our rooms.
(Flashback Sequence)
PRINCESS CELESTIA:
Before we start having a party, we would like to show you all to your rooms.
Princess Luna showed the doors to the True Believers and their friends.
PRINCESS LUNA:
All you have to do is hold the handle, then open the door and your room will be filled with things you most desires.
Princess Celestia pointed at Charlie.
PRINCESS CELESTIA:
Let's start with you. Go ahead, Charlie.
Charlie walked up to the first door. While he was holding the handle from the door, it was glowing with light. Charlie opened the door and he looked happy.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Oh, my gosh! My room has everything I always wanted!
(Present-Day Sequence)
Charlie was still writing on his journal.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Now I have a room filled with stuff that I most desires. Speaking of desires, I had a great time with my beautiful and powerful unicorn, Starlight Glimmer.
Starlight Glimmer was sleeping in bed next to Charlie.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, I don't know what's gonna happen to Matthew when he finds out that the Storm King's been using him. I'm sure I can figure out what to do when I see him again.
Charlie stopped writing his journal because Starlight Glimmer was waking up. After she yawned, she looked at Charlie, happily.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
Morning, Charlie.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Morning, Starlight.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
What are you doing?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I'm just writing something in my journal.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
And turn it into a script?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Yeah. How'd you know?
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
Your friend, Patrick told me last night.
Charlie sighed.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I should've known.
Starlight Glimmer couldn't stop thinking about last night between her and Charlie.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
Last night was beautiful, Charlie. I will never forget it.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Yeah. All we did was dance, kissed and went to bed.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
That's why it was so beautiful. Anyway, what time is it?
Charlie looked at his wristwatch.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
It's ten minutes till nine.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
What? I better get back to work!
Starlight Glimmer quickly got out of bed and brushed her mane with her hairbrush.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Starlight, we're in the Everfree Forest. I don't think you will make it.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
Don't worry. I'll take a shortcut.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Like your teleportation spell.
Starlight Glimmer walked up to Charlie.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
You know a lot about me, don't you?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
And you know a lot about my world.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
Is there anything you would like to do when we see each other again, Charlie?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, I would like to be a volunteer on the Great and Powerful Trixie's show.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
I'll talk to her and I promise I'll make it happen.
Starlight Glimmer kissed Charlie.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
See you soon, Charlie.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
See you soon, Starlight.
Starlight Glimmer disappeared and Charlie smiled. Charlie heard Lix Spittle's voice.
LIX SPITTLE:
Charlie! Breakfast is ready!
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Coming Lix!
Charlie quickly left his room and headed to the dining room.
(Opening Sequence)
ACT TWO
In the dining room, Robin Kevin, Patrick, Fizzlepop Berrytwist, Grubber, Captain Celaeno, Capper, Princess Skystar, Shelly, Sheldon and Autumn Blaze were having breakfast. Charlie approached the room.
PATRICK WALTER:
Good morning, Charlie.
Charlie sat at the table.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Morning, Patrick. Morning everyone.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Is Starlight joining us?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
No, she had to go to work quickly.
CAPPER:
At least you two had a good night sleep.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Let's just say, she's my treasure.
CAPTAIN CELAENO:
Well, I'm glad you did. You better bury her so; they won't find her.
Charlie looked shocked.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
What?!
CAPTAIN CELAENO:
Gotcha!
Everyone laughed, even Charlie.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
You totally did!
Charlie stopped laughing and turned to Robin and Kevin.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
So, guys, was your rooms perfect like me?
KEVIN DALY:
It's amazing. Right up to Sonic the Hedgehog and Power Rangers.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
What about you, Robin?
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Pokémon, Digimon, My Little Pony.
Robin smiled.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
I was in Cartoon heaven, Charlie!
PRINCESS SKYSTAR:
My room is similar to the one I have in Mount Aris.
SHELLY:
Sheldon and I have to share it.
SHELDON:
And we don't mind.
CAPTAIN CELAENO:
Well, our room is similar to my cabin from my airship ad Capper's home from Klugetown.
Capper hold Captain Celaeno's hand.
CAPPER:
At least we're sharing it together, honey.
Kevin looked confused.
KEVIN DALY:
Charlie, what's going on?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Oh, I forgot to tell you, guys. Celaeno and Capper are married.
Robin looked surprised.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Really? This is so cool!
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
They had a wedding in Abyssinia.
KEVIN DALY:
And I bet Grubber came for the wedding cake.
GRUBBER:
Hey! I only had one piece before the wedding and no one notice.
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
I was their bridesmaid at their wedding.
PATRICK WALTER:
A parrot and a cat love triangle? That is cool.
AUTUMN BLAZE:
So, what are we going to do now?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, me and my friends have decided to write everything we done on the journal and turn it into a script. So, after we defeat the Storm King and save Matthew, Celestia will maybe take us back to the Outside World. So, we can send our new script to Mr. Davis.
CAPTAIN CELAENO:
Charlie, if you do that, Mr. Davis won't believe our adventures are real.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
And he doesn't have to. He'll believe we used our imagination and that's good enough for us.
PRINCESS SKYSTAR:
Charlie's right It doesn't matter what Mr. Davis believes. As long as he likes the script.
Everyone in the dining room agreed Then Charlie's phone was ringing. Charlie took the phone out of his pocket. On the screen it said Mi Amore Cadenza. Charlie knew that name from somewhere. So, he pressed the green button and Princess Cadance appeared on screen.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
Hi, Charlie.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Cadance, is that you?
PRINCESS CADANCE:
I hope you don't mind. Celestia had put magic on your phones. So, we can make contact.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
No, it's okay. I was just surprised!
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Is that Princess Cadance on Charlie's phone?
KEVIN DALY:
It's got to be. I can hear her voice.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
So, how come you didn't come to our castle last night?
PRINCESS CADANCE:
Shining Armor and I couldn't find anypony to foal-sit Flurry Heart. So, we had to do it. I'm sorry.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
That's okay. I understand that family comes first. So, why did you call me?
PRINCESS CADANCE:
Ah, yes. I've called because I want you and your friends to come to the Crystal Empire. The Pillars of old Equestria will be waiting for you at the stadium. They have new powers for your Keyblades and they will train you.
Charlie looked happy.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Really? The legendary ponies are going to train us? That's awesome! What kind of powers they're going to give us?
Princess Cadance smiled.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
You'll find out once you see them. I'll meet at the Square. Bye!
Princess Cadance hanged up and Charlie had an announcement for his friends.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Guys, Cadance just called me and she wants us to meet her at the Square in the Crystal Empire.
KEVIN DALY:
We know, Charlie because we all heard her voice from your phone.
Robin felt excited.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
I can't believe the Pillars of old Equestria are going to give new powers and train us!
PATRICK WALTER:
Well, guys. Let's get to the train station.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Wait, we can't! I used the last bits to buy for tickets to Canterlot Station.
CAPTAIN CELAENO:
Don't worry about it. My crew and I got a lot of treasure over the years. So, we have lots of bits.
KEVIN DALY:
Why don't we just take your ship, Captain?
CAPTAIN CELAENO:
Because there's no sky harbour at the Crystal Empire and the balcony at the castle is not big enough to set sail.
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
I'm sure the train ride would be fine.
Grubber moaned.
GRUBBER:
Oh! Do I have to walk all the way to Ponyville?
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
Yes!
PATRICK WALTER:
Then is settles. We're going to the Crystal Empire!
CHARLIE MCEVOY, ROBIN MCDONALD, KEVIN DALY:
YEAH!
Location: The Crystal Empire
After the train arrived at the station, the True Believers and their friends got out of the train. Grubber felt frustrated.
GRUBBER:
I can't believe it took us this long to get to the Ponyville Station!
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
Grubber, it took us twenty minutes to get there.
GRUBBER:
Well, it's longer to me!
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
At least you done some exercise, Grubber.
Charlie turned to his friends.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Come on everyone. We have to meet Cadance at the Sqaure.
The True Believers and their friends made it to centre of the Crystal Empire.
KEVIN DALY:
Wow! This place is like Disneyland!
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Look! There's a statue of Spike, the Brave and Glorious!
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
And the Crystal Castle looks beautiful!
Grubber whispered to Fizzlepop Berrytwist.
GRUBBER:
Why are they excited? I thought they already knew what the Crystal Castle looks like.
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
I don't know. But they are very interesting.
Patrick looked worried, then he saw Princess Cadance, Shining Armor and Flurry Heart walking out of their castle.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
Hey, guys. You finally made it.
Robin ran to Princess Cadance and Charlie tried to stop him, but he couldn't.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
No, Robin. Wait!
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Your Highness, I know you get this a lot, but there's only one thing I wanted to do.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
What is it?
Robin felt embarrassed, but he did the chant with Princess Cadance.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Sunshine, sunshine...
ROBIN MCDONALD, PRINCESS CADANCE:
Ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves and do a little shake.
Robin and Princess Cadance hugged each other.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
So, you wanted to do the chant with me.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Yeah, and I already did. I hope you didn't mind?
PRINCESS CADANCE:
Of course not. We're friends now.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Thank you, Cadance.
Robin ran back to his friends.
SHINING ARMOR:
So, you're the True Believers that my wife was telling me about. It is an honour to meet you.
Flurry Heart was giggling and flying around Charlie Then she landed on Charlie's head.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
I believe our daughter likes you.
Charlie grabbed Flurry Heart and hold her gently. He couldn't resist her eyes.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Aw! She reminds me of my nephew.
SHINING ARMOR:
You're an uncle?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Oh, yes. Solomon is my sister's son. He's two years old.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
That's sweet.
Charlie gave Flurry Heart back to Shining Armor.
SHINING ARMOR:
Well, I better feed her. I see you later, honey.
Shining Armor kissed Princess Cadance.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
Okay.
Shining Armor and Flurry Heart went back to the castle. Princess Cadance turned to the True Believers and their friends.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
I'm so glad that all of you can make it. Let me show you to the stadium.
The True Believers and their friends followed Princess Cadance to the stadium. As they arrived to the centre of the stadium, the True Believers and their friends looked surprised.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
It feels like we're in the Olympus Coliseum from KINGDOM HEARTS.
KEVIN DALY:
They actually build this out of crystals.
PATRICK WALTER:
It looks outstanding.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Look!
Robin pointed at the Pillars of old Equestria. Star Swirl, Mage Meadowbrook, Flash Magnus, Rockhoof, Somnambula and Mistmane were getting things ready for the True Believers' training.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
Star Swirl, I've brought the True Believers.
Star Swirl saw the True Believers.
STAR SWIRL:
Thank you, Cadance.
Princess Cadance turned to Charlie.
PRINCESS CADANCE:
I'll leave you to them now. I'll see you back in the castle.
Princess Cadance left the stadium and the Pillars of old Equestria walked up to the True Believers and their friends.
STAR SWIRL:
So, you are the True Believers the princesses told us about.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Yes, we are. We saw you at the party last night.
STAR SWIRL:
Ah, yes, you did. May I see your Keyblades please?
The True Believers showed Star Swirl their Keyblades. Star Swirl looked closely at Charlie's Sun and Moon Keyblades.
STAR SWIRL:
Ah! I recognised those Keyblades. Just the way we designed them.
Robin looked surprised.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
You guys designed the Keyblades?
MAGE MEADOWBROOK:
After we banished the Sirens, we designed the key-shape swords that will destroy the darkness. We called them Keyblades.
ROCKHOOF:
But we couldn't make them because we we're trapped in Limbo with the Pony of Shadows.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
But you guys didn't have a choice. You needed to stop him with your virtues. Strength, Beauty, Bravery, Healing, Hope and Sorcery. When Twilight and her friends brought you all back, you banished the Pony of Shadows and saved Stygian.
Mistmane felt impressed with Charlie.
MISTMANE:
Your very clever and smart for a special human.
Charlie didn't know what Mistmane meant.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Why, thank you.
SOMNAMBULA:
We never knew the princesses made the Keyblade until you Believers came to Equestria.
Flash Magnus was pointed at Patrick.
FLASH MAGNUS:
And how come that Believer doesn't have the Keyblade?
PATRICK WALTER:
Well, I can explain...
STAR SWIRL:
It's all right, Flash. Most humans can be Believers without the Keyblades.
Star Swirl turned to the True Believers.
STAR SWIRL:
We've also designed the Equestrian Triangle after the first Believer came to Equestria.
KEVIN DALY:
This first Believer is human right? Do you know who he is?
STAR SWIRL:
Yes. But that's the answer you need to find for yourselves.
The True Believers moaned.
CHARLIE MCEVOY, ROBIN MCDONALD, KEVIN DALY:
OHHH!
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
Since you guys are going to start training, we'll be watching you on the stand. Come on, everypony.
Patrick, Grubber, Captain Celaeno, Capper, Princess Skystar, Shelly, Sheldon and Autumn Blaze followed Fizzlepop Berrytwist to the stand.
PRINCESS SKYSTAR:
Be careful, Robin.
AUTUMN BLAZE:
I'll be watching you, Kevin.
CAPTAIN CELAENO:
Have courage, Charlie.
PATRICK WALTER:
Just do your best, guys.
Star Swirl and Mistmane carried a big golden chest with their magic from their horns.
STAR SWIRL:
Charlie, this is a gift from all of us.
MISTMANE:
We we're going to give it to you yesterday, but we forgot to take it with us.
STAR SWIRL:
Inside the chest contains a new power for your Keyblades.
SOMNAMBULA:
And it can only be open by the Keyblade with a single tap.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
A single tap? I think I know what you mean't by that.
Charlie walked up to the chest, tapped it with his Sun Keyblade and it opened up slowly. Inside the chest were Six heart-shaped crystals. Pink, purple, orange, blue, red and light purple.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
What are these?
STAR SWIRL:
They are the Crystal Harmonies, which contains the Elements of Harmony.
The True Believers gasped.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
These crystals are the Elements of Harmony?! I thought they we're destroyed.
STAR SWIRL:
They we're, but we found the pieces and craft them into heart-shaped crystals with my magic.
KEVIN DALY:
So, these crystals contain Magic, Honesty, Generosity, Laughter, Kindness and Loyalty Elements?
STAR SWIRL:
Exactly. Stygian designed them last year. All you have to do is place the crystals in a heart-hole from your Keyblades
The True Believers looked at their Keyblades.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Mine has one hole each Keyblade.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Mine has two. Front and back.
KEVIN DALY:
And so, doe's mine.
STAR SWIRL:
We only have six crystals. So, you three will have to choose two.
The True Believers took the crystals out of the chest.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I've got Magic and Generosity.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
I've got Kindness and Laughter.
KEVIN DALY:
And I've got Honesty and Loyalty.
The True Believers placed their crystals on their Keyblades.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
What should we do now?
STAR SWIRL:
Now, press them.
The True Believers pressed the crystals from their Keyblades. Then six ball of light with the same colours from the crystals appeared. Inside them were Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. The Mane Six looked confused.
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
What happened?
RAINBOW DASH:
Why are we in the Crystal Stadium?
Twilight Sparkle saw the Pillar of old Equestria.
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
Star Swirl, how did we get here? We we're in the School of Friendship.
STAR SWIRL:
Don't worry, Twilight. We'll explain everything.
ACT THREE
After Star Swirl finished explaining to the Mane Six. Rainbow Dash looked confused.
RAINBOW DASH:
Let me get this straight. You guys made these heart crystals out of our Elements of Harmony for the True Believers, so, they can summon us to help them fight the Heartless?
Rainbow Dash smiled.
RAINBOW DASH:
This is awesome!
The Mane Six agreed. Charlie smiled and turned to Robin and Kevin.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Looks like we're going to start training.
Star Swirl turned to the True Believers.
STAR SWIRL:
By Tomorrow.
The True Believers looked shocked.
CHARLIE MCEVOY, ROBIN MCDONALD, KEVIN DALY:
WHAT?!
ROBIN MCDONALD:
I thought we're going to start today!
STAR SWIRL:
We want you to come to the stadium, so, you can try out the Crystal Harmonies for tomorrow's training. And I thought Cadance already told you.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, she didn't actually mention tomorrow.
SOMNAMBULA:
Then what makes you think you'll start training today?
Charlie looked nervous.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, you see. I haven't told anypony yet, but Robin, Kevin and I are... Well... We're au... Autis...
Patrick walked up to Charlie and calmed him down.
PATRICK WALTER:
Don't worry about it, Charlie. You can tell them tomorrow. You don't wanna blow it now, do you?
Patrick turned to the Pillars of old Equestria.
PATRICK WALTER:
They'll be ready by tomorrow. Come on, everybody. Let's get to the Crystal Castle.
The True Believers left the stadium and their friends followed them.
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
Well, we better catch up with them, girls.
The Mane Six caught up with the True Believers and their friends. Rockhoof was thinking.
ROCKHOOF:
Autis-what? Is that some kind of spell of something?
MISTMANE:
No. It's something very special.
Back at the Square, the True Believers, their friends and the Mane Six were heading to the Crystal Castle.
RARITY:
Charlie, darling. What we're you going to say to Star Swirl?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
About what?
RARITY:
About you and your friends are.
Charlie looked worried.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, I don't know how to say this, but... Um... It's very difficult, but...
PATRICK WALTER:
Charlie, I think is time for you to tell them.
Everyone stopped walking and looked at Charlie.
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
Tell us what?
Charlie started to sweat in fear.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
My friends and I are... My friends and I have...
Everyone was waiting for Charlie's answer. Charlie took a deep breath and exhaled.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
We have autism. So, we are autistic.
Everyone looked surprised.
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
You guys have autism?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I know you don't know about it, but we can explain...
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
Charlie, we already know about autism. How come you didn't tell us before?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Because I didn't want you to make fun of us.
RARITY:
We will never do that, darling. We respect anypony with autism.
PINKIE PIE:
Loud ones!
FLUTTERSHY:
And quiet ones.
Charlie, Robin and Kevin felt relieved.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Thank Celestia. All we do is keep our things in the same places. We don't like some changes and we repeat the same things we do and say like...
Grubber interrupted Charlie.
GRUBBER:
Oh! So, that's why you all excited to go to the Crystal Empire. Even you already know what it looks like.
KEVIN DALY:
That's right.
FLUTTERSHY:
So, you know everypony and our world because you watched My Little Pony repeatedly?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Exactly!
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
I heard most humans with autism are smart.
RAINBOW DASH:
Really?
Rainbow Dash turned to the True Believers.
RAINBOW DASH:
So, if you knew all about us? What is my number one dream?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Becoming a Wonderbolt.
Rainbow Dash gasped in excitement.
RAINBOW DASH:
Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! Oh, my gosh! He's right!
PINKIE PIE:
Oh! Oh! Me next! Me next! What did I do for a living?
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Organising parties.
PINKIE PIE:
That's right!
RARITY:
How many boutiques I owned?
KEVIN DALY:
Three.
FLUTTERSHY:
What was my dream?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Building an animal santuary.
FLUTTERSHY:
You're right!
APPLEJACK:
Who was one of the founding ponies of Ponyville?
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Granny Smith.
PRINCESS SKYSTAR:
What's my favourite hobby?
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Collecting seashells.
PRINCESS SKYSTAR:
MY boyfriend is the best!
AUTUMN BLAZE:
Who makes Foal-breath tea?
KEVIN DALY:
You, Autumn?
AUTUMN BLAZE:
You're absolutely correct!
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
Okay, I've got a hard one for Charlie. Who's been reformed?
Charlie was thinking.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Nightmare Moon, Trixie, Discord, Sunset Shimmer, Gilda and Starlight Glimmer.
Twilight Sparkle looked surprised.
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
Holy Celestia! You guys really are smart!
PATRICK WALTER:
All right, that's enough questions for now. They got to get ready for their training.
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
Okay, but I have one more question for Charlie.
Fizzlepop Berrytwist walked closely to Charlie.
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
What we're the names of my old friends?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Glitter Drops and Spring Rain.
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
He's right.
CAPPER:
I gotta say, that's a perfect guess. But what about Patrick?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Oh. Patrick is my carer. He looks after me.
CAPTIAN CELAENO:
But why is he your carer?
Charlie looked worried.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I don't want to talk about it because is embarrassing to me.
APPLEJACK:
We understand, Charlie. But Star Swirl doesn't know you're autistic. So, when you see him again...
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I have to be honest and tell him the truth.
Applejack looked impressed.
APPLEJACK:
You impressed me!
Fluttershy turned to Twilight Sparkle.
FLUTTERSHY:
Twilight, what about the students? They don't know we're in Crystal Empire.
TWILIGHT SPARKLE:
Don't worry, Fluttershy. I'm going to write a letter to Spike and Starlight. So, they'll look after the school and out students for a day.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, at least everything is sorted. Let's get in the castle and get freshen up.
The True Believers, the Mane Six and their friends went in the Crystal Castle. That night in the castle, everyone was asleep in their Guest rooms, except Charlie.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I can't sleep. What if Matthew enters my dreams again? Maybe some fresh air might help.
Charlie got out of bed and left the room quietly. Charlie was walking in the hallway and spotted a door with crystal flowers. Charlie opened the door and saw lots of crystal flowers outside.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
It's Mistmane's Garden of Crystal Flowers.
Charlie spotted Mistmane, growing some flowers with her magic. So, he walked up to her.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Mistmane?
Mistmane turned around.
MISTMANE:
Charlie. It's nearly midnight. What are you doing up?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I couldn't get any sleep.
MISTMANE:
Well, you gonna have to sometimes. I hate for you to get tired tomorrow.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I'll be fine.
Charlie was looking at the crystal flowers and Mistmane see that he looked sad.
MISTMANE:
What's wrong, Charlie? Are you afraid to tell me because of your autism?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
How'd you know about my autism? I thought you can only see beauty.
MISTMANE:
Autism can also be part of beauty.
Charlie couldn't hide it from Mistmane any longer.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I really don't want to talk about it, but... It's my mum.
MISTMANE:
Did she pass away?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
No. It's nothing like that. It's just that my mum found out I have Autism when I was seven and she never learned a thing about it.
MISTMANE:
What?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I thought she did while she was looking after me. But while I was nineteen, she was about to put me in a care home because I found out she never learnt about autism. I've tried to convince her to not to put me in a care home because I know it will be full of people with challenging behaviours. But it didn't work, Luckily, Patrick came to put me in his care. It was just me and him at his house. He understands me very well. I see my friends every day. I stay with my dad at weekends. Patrick knows how to keep me happy. I had given my mum a lot of space, so, she can learn about autism. But that didn't work because she wants me to stop repeating and she wants me to change. Those are the things I can't do.
Mistmane understood how Charlie felt.
MISTMANE:
That's sounds like she chooses not to learn about autism because she is scared.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
That's exactly what I believe.
Mistmane comforted Charlie.
MISTMANE:
Charlie, listen to me. If your mum can't learn about autism, then that's her problem. You don't need help, she does. You and your friends have autism and that's the reason why the Keyblades choose you. You have a good heart.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
You're right. But I'm not worried about that anymore. I was just afraid to tell anypony. But now I'm in Equestria, I can be who I am and not be afraid to show it. But I haven't told Starlight yet and I don't think she'll understand.
MISTMANE:
She will. Trust me.
Charlie smiled and hugged Mistmane. Starlight Glimmer was peeking through the door and heard Charlie and Mistmane's conversation. Starlight Glimmer heard every word and she felt sorry for Charlie.
STARLIGHT GLIMMER:
Oh, Charlie.
Starlight Glimmer left the Crystal Castle. Back at the garden, Charlie stopped hugging Mistmane.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, I better get back to bed. Good night, Mistmane.
MISTMANE:
Good night, Charlie.
Charlie left the garden and Mistmane stayed behind. The next morning, Charlie, Robin, Kevin and the Mane Six were at the centre of the stadium, while Patrick and the others were sitting at the stand. Grubber was holding a box of cupcakes.
GRUBBER:
I got some cupcakes if anyone wants one.
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
Actually, I bought them.
While everyone was getting a cupcake, Patrick saw Stygian sitting next to him.
PATRICK WALTER:
Hi.
STYGIAN:
Oh, hi. You must be one of the True Believers.
PATRICK WALTER:
Yes, I am. My name's Patrick.
STYGIAN:
I'm Stygian.
Patrick saw a Keyblade drawn on Stygian's book.
PATRICK WALTER:
What are you doing?
STYGIAN:
I'm designing a new Keyblade. The Keyblade of Harmony.
PATRICK WALTER:
How does it work?
STYGIAN:
According to my theory, when the princesses' Keyblades join together with the Crystal Harmonies. It will evolve into a big long Keyblade that will destroy the Heartless in one strike, but it will last about a minute and it will recharge in about five minutes. I haven't finish it yet, but it will take some time.
PATRICK WALTER:
I'm sure it would because my friends will be very excited to see it.
At the centre of the stadium, the Pillars of old Equestria arrived, holding their legendary objects.
STAR SWIRL:
I'm so glad all of you could make it.
KEVIN DALY:
You guys brought your legendary objects with you.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Yeah! There's Star Swirl's Journal, Mage Meadowbrook's Healing mask, Flash Magnus' Shield, Rockhoof's Shovel, Somnambula's Blindfold and Mistmane's Everlasting flower!
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I thought they were destroyed. Oh, let me guess. Star Swirl used his magic to restore them, didn't he?
Mistmane whispeared to Star Swirl.
MISTMANE:
Told you they were clever.
Star Swirl nodded his head in agreement and turned to the True Believers and the Mane Six.
STAR SWIRL:
I would to tell you all that your training is about testing your strength and loyalty by battling us.
THE TRUE BELIEVERS, THE MANE SIX:
What?
ROBIN MCDONALD:
We have to fight all of you?
FLUTTERSHY:
I don't like the sound of that.
APPLEJACK:
I'm sure there's a good reason for this.
KEVIN DALY:
I know you guys and gals fought the Dazzlings, but how are you going to fight us with your legendary objects?
Star Swirl smiled.
STAR SWIRL:
Allow us to demonstrate.
Star Swirl used his magic from his horn to levitate the six objects in the air. The objects and the Pillars of old Equestria evolved into humans and their objects evolved into Keyblades. The Keyblades magically went to their hands. The True Believers and the Mane Six looked surprised.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Ah! You guys are humans?
STAR SWIRL:
It's only a spell. I wrote it a thousand years ago. I never test it until now.
Star Swirl shook his head.
STAR SWIRL:
Anyway, let's get back to business. Charlie. You, Twilight and Rarity will fight me and Mistmane. Robin. You, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy will fight Somnambula and Mage Meadowbrook. And Kevin. You, Applejack and Rainbow Dash will fight Rockhoof and Flash Magnus. Let the training Commence!
Back at the stand, everyone looked surprised.
GRUBBER:
Is it me, or did these ponies turn into humans?
ACT FOUR
Star Swirl made three force fields around the True Believers and the Mane Six. Charlie, Twilight Sparkle and Rarity were in the middle with Star Swirl and Mistmane. Robin, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were in the left with Somnambula and Mage Meadowbrook. And Kevin, Applejack and Rainbow Dash were at the right with Rockhoof and Flash Magnus. The battle was starting. Flash Magnus flew up. Kevin jumped up and Rainbow Dash grabbed him to give him altitude. Applejack kept dodging Rockhoof's Keyblade attacks.
RAINBOW DASH:
At least, Flash still have his wings.
KEVIN DALY:
We can't give up! That's just what they wanted us to do.
Robin kept throwing his Keyblade at Somnambula, while she dodged it by flying. After Somnambula got hit, Mage Meadowbrook healed her with her potions. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy threw and buckicked the red balls at them, like they were playing buckball. Charlie used his fire, blizzard and thunder spells at Star Swirl and Mistmane. Rarity made a diamond shield with her magic to protect Charlie and Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle shoots a purple beam from her horn to block Star Swirl and Mistmane's Magics. Back at the stand, Shelly and Sheldon dressed up as cheerleaders to cheer for their friends.
SHELLY, SHELDON:
True Believers are our friends. They can do it if they believing themselves!
Patrick, Stygian and the others joined in. Back at the centre, the True Believers and the Mane Six saw their friends cheering for them.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Did you see that, guys? They believing us!
KEVIN DALY:
I know we shouldn't give up.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Come on, everyone. Let's show them the power of belief!
Charlie combined his Keyblades with Twilight Sparkle's Magic and Rarity's Generosity. Robin combined his Keyblade with Pinkie Pie's Laughter and Fluttershy's Kindness. And Kevin combined his Keyblade with Applejack's Honesty and Rainbow Dash's Loyalty. They used their special attacks and the Pillars of old Equestria was beaten. Patrick and the others cheered at their friends.
PRINCESS SKYSTAR:
They did it!
AUTUMN BLAZE:
I think I'm gonna pass out!
CAPTAIN CELAENO:
There really are the best!
STYGIAN:
These True Believers really have talent!
PATRICK WALTER:
I told you.
When the force field was down, the True Believers and the Mane Six got together with a group hug.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Guys, you gotta admit. That was so cool!
RAINBOW DASH:
I hate to say this, but defeating our heroes was totally awesome!
A few minutes later, Patrick and the others caught up with the True Believers and the Mane Six, while Star Swirl congratulated them. The Pillars of old Equestria were back to normal.
STAR SWIRL:
I'm so glad that you completed your training in one day. How did you three get so good?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, that's the thing I wanted to tell you yesterday. Robin, Kevin and I were born with autism.
Star Swirl smiled.
STAR SWIRL:
We know.
Charlie looked surprised.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
You know? When?
STAR SWIRL:
Celestia and Luna told us before you came to the Crystal Empire.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
So, the princesses knew after we came to Equestria.
CAPTAIN CELAENO:
And we also know about you and your mum. We understand how you feel, Charlie.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Patrick! When did you tell them?
PATRICK WALTER:
Just this morning.
Charlie smiled.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
That's okay. I've already told Mistmane last night.
PATRICK WALTER:
Now that everypony knows, Charlie. You don't have to have to hide it anymore.
STAR SWIRL:
Your autism is what makes you three unique, because you have good hearts. That's why the Keyblades choose you!
ROBIN MCDONALD:
This is cool.
KEVIN DALY:
I totally agree with that.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, we know we have to defeat the Storm King, but it's not just that. We got a friend to save.
STAR SWIRL:
That's right. You guys have one friend left to worry about. We know that Matthew O' Connell resurrected the Storm King and he has the power of darkness. Matthew only read your mind and enter your dreams, because the Storm King order him to. If you believe Matthew is your friend in your heart, then he must've felt the same way with you. But he is too strong to admit it because of his darkness. Don't worry, Charlie. If anyone can save your friend, you can.
Charlie shook Star Swirl's hoof.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Thanks, Star Swirl.
Charlie turned to his friends.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Come on, everyone. Let's head to the station and go home.
Grubber moaned.
GRUBBER:
Do we really have to walk?
Charlie picked up Grubber.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Not you, cause I'm going to carry you.
Grubber looked happy.
GRUBBER:
Hey, thanks!
The True Believers, the Mane Six and their friends left the stadium.
Location: The Castle of the True Believers
The True Believers and their friends went inside the castle.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Wow! What a day. Too bad the Mane Six have to go back to their homes.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, they have to teach their students about the Outside World tomorrow.
Princess Skystar spotted a mirror in the hall.
PRINCESS SKYSTAR:
Guys, what's that mirror doing in the castle?
The True Believers walked up to the mirror and took a good look at it.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Is that the magic mirror from Equestria Girls first movie?
KEVIN DALY:
I don't know. But it does look like it.
Robin spotted a note on the mirror.
ROBIN MCDONALD:
Charlie, there's a note.
Charlie took the note off the mirror and read it.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
"Charlie. Shining Armor and I decided to give you and your friends the dimensional mirror from our castle. You don't have to wait for a hundred moons because Star Swirl put a new spell on it, so, you can go the other world anytime you want. But if you see Sunset Shimmer there, say hi for Twilight. Love Cadance. P.S. I hope you foal-sit Flurry Heart someday".
Charlie put his right arm through the mirror and took it out.
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
Well, at least it still works.
KEVIN DALY:
So, what are going to do?
CHARLIE MCEVOY:
I'm still exhausted from the training. Let's go and watch Sonic X in Kevin's bedroom!
KEVIN DALY:
Now you're talking!
The True Believers raced upstairs, excitedly to Kevin's room. Fizzlepop Berrytwist smiled.
FIZZLEPOP BERRYTWIST:
They maybe autistic, Patrick, but they are exciting.
PATRICK WALTER:
I know. I'm not just Charlie's carer. I'm also his best friend.
Patrick smiled, as he watched the True Believers went to Kevin's room.
