Chapter 7: Friendship of All Creatures

The thirteen friends find themselves in a pickle. Cozy has all the students gather here to the chamber. Cozy has manipulated everypony in the school.

"After everything Twilight's done for you, why would you want to destroy her school?" Cozy asks, acting innocent.

"We don't! You're the one using these artifacts to drain magic from Equestria!" Gallus says.

"That's right. You're the one stealing Equestria's Magic," Wire Wolf says.

"You were saying about becoming the Empress of Friendship, remember?!" Falling Star adds.

"Me?! We all just saw you with your claws all over them!" Cozy lies.

She gasps, an says, "It all makes sense. These creatures want magic gone from Equestria because it's the only thing ponies have that they don't!"

"Technically, there's a magical component when Silverstream and I transform," Ocellus says.

"And Yona's friends' friendship is magic! Twilight said!" Yona adds.

"And you repay her by sending her to Tartarus on a wild goose chase so you could destroy everything she built!" Cozy lies.

"That's not true!" Aria says.

But cozy gasp, and lies, "They've even trapped Starlight in that-that thing! We have to defend this school!"

Soon the students begin to charge right at them.

"No! No, don't listen to her!" Sandbar says.

Falling Star says, "She's lying! Don't let her manipulate you!"

But the students begin to attack the thirteen friends. The thirteen friends try to fight back, but they don't want to hurt the students. Gallus pull his tail hard that he is able to break free from one of the students. But he ends up hitting his head and falls into the orb of magic.

"Gallus! Smolder screams, to see his friend in trouble..

Smolder break free from the two students hold and try to reach Gallus. Everyone else escape from the students. The students are about ready to chase after them because of Cozy manipulation. Smolder tries to reach Galluss, but stepping into the circle cause the magic claw to grab hold of Smolder and drag her in. Sandbar, Wire Wolf, and the others grab hold of each other and try to drag them away from the magic sucking orb. Falling Star tries to pull as hard as she can, but the magic is too much.

Falling Star loses the grip of her teeth, and fall over. She look up to see all of her friends are trapped in the orb of magic. Soon the circle breaks revealing a magic vortex that will lead them to another world.

Falling Star gasp, "No! The vortex is opening! My friends and all of Equestria's magic are going to be sucked in!"

Everyone gasp in shock to hear this. The magic along with Starlight and everyone trapped inside are being pull into it. Everypony else are shocked to see what is happening, while cozy smile to see her plan is working.

Just then, one of the mares says, "They just sacrificed themselves trying to save their friend. Professor Dash always said there's nothing more loyal than that. Shouldn't we try to save them?"

"They brought this on themselves. There's nothing we can do," cozy says.

"That doesn't seem very generous. Or kind," One of the mares says.

Not giving a care, Cozy says, "Yeah, yeah. The Elements of Harmony are very important. They're just not applicable in every circumstance. And with magic gone from Equestria, I'm not even sure the Tree of Harmony will be as helpful as it once was."

With the final straw, Falling Star shouts in anger, "I don't want to hear another word from your mouth!"

Cozy glow and the students stop and turn around to see Falling Star. the only one not tapped in the bubble.

"Cozy Glow you're the most rotten pony I have ever met! At first, I thought you were a sweet pony who wanted to learn about friendship, and be kind to everypony! But when I learned the kind of pony you really are, that draws the final line! Princess Twilight and her friends teaches you about the true magic of friendship, and this is how you repaid them! Tricking them into going to Tartarus to have them trapped there, stealing Equestria and send it along with Starlight to another world, so you can take over as the Empress of Friendship!" Falling Star says.

Unaware that the crystal pillars are beginning to glow in seven different colors. Purple, white, orange, yellow, blue, pink, and gold yellow.

Falling Star continues, "And you all. Sandbar and the others have been wanting to be your friend and this is how you all want to repay them! By thinking they are evil by listening to somepony for making you cookies, friendship bracelets, and tickets! They all don't have mean bones in their body and you all believe in somepony who only thought friendship is power and wants to take advantage of you! Well, I'll have you all know, I won't tolerate by this behavior any longer! You say how they sacrificed themselves to save their friends! This shows they will never drain Equestria of Magic!"

The students are shocked to hear this, and take in what Falling Star says.

"Like you're one to talk! You're the one who wanted to take over Equestria and stole Princess Twilight's crown! You also think friendship is weak!" Cozy remarks.

But Falling Star continues, "Alright, I admit it. I was an evil, jealous, power crazed pony who wanted to prove that I'm better than everypony! I also became very jealous of Sun for being better at magic than me and wanted to hurt her more than anything else! I never stopped to think about how my actions could cause for the ponies around me! When Sun and the others defeated me, I realized that I never wanted power, I wanted respect, wanted people to like me for who I am. And Sun, the one pony I've been bullying for long wanted me to accept her friendship, and I took it!"

"Form that day on, I've decided to learn all I can about friendship and try my best to become a better pony and to help others. Most of all to be there for Sun when she needs me! Because Sun, Princess Twilight and the girls, and all the ponies and non-ponies I've met since I was reformed. They all… ARE MY FRIEND!" Falling Star concludes with strong passion.

Suddenly, her gest begins to admit a strong bright yellow glow and the pillars are fully turn into their colors unleash a powerful rainbow that is causing the orb of magic to lift them out of the fortex.

Cozy asks, "What's happening?!"

Sandbar and his friends, Wire Wolf, the Dazzlings, and Starlight Glimmer are being freed from the bubble. Yona glows orange. Silverstream glows pink. Sandbar glows yellow. Smolder blue, Gallus purple, Ocellus white. Wire Wolf and the others including Starlight glow a bright gold color. Falling Star begins to shimmer and glow all seven colors.

Amazed the earth pony with the berries cutie mark says, "They're glowing like the elements! I think Falling Star and the Tree of Harmony just saved them!"

Cozy Glow flies over in distress to see what is happening.

Gallus says, "Hah! Guess our friendship is pretty magical after all!"

"Especially Falling Star's!" Starlight adds.

Ocellus says, "Hurry grab the artifacts."

Knowing what they need to do, Sandbar and his six friends gather to the artifacts from their homes. Wire Wolf and everypony else land on the ground

Looking at the amulet, Silverstream asks, "Um, didn't you say that can destroy the school?!"

"But if we don't try we can lose magic forever!" Ocellus says.

Smolder and Yona look at each other and nod their heads.

Falling Star turns towards the others, and says, "It's the only way to save Equestra, and our friends."

Falling Star begins to be lifted into the air and goes in the center of the magic bubble.

Sandbar turns to the students, Wire Wolf, and the others, "You all better get clear!"

"Let's get out of here!" Moon Shell screams.

Hearing that, everypony including Wire Wolf and the Dazzlings are beginning to make a run out of the chamber and out of the school.

Cozy flies towards the exit in anger, "Wait! Where are you going?! STOOOOOOP!"

Sandbar and his six friends grab hold of the artifacts from their home and lift them into the air. When that happens, the bubble begins to rise up away from the vortex. Falling Star has her hooves close to her heart and close her eyes to focus her friendship with all of her might.

Just then, a magic shimmering light appears over her and it transform into a red and black gem of her cutie mark. Then a small gold chair appears into it, and wraps around her neck.

The bubble shrinks close to her. Then burst out all over Equestria, releasing the magic throughout the land. Magical orbs of magic appear into the sky and are returning to who they belong.

Walking out of Canterlot, the princesses, Chancellor Neighsay, and the royal guards are trying to reach Canterlot. When the field of magic phase past them, and colorful orbs appear in the sky. Soon, they all receive their magic back and their horns glow again. The princesses and the guards take to the sky while Neighsay uses his magic and the medallion to go through the portal to the school.

The magic also spread to Tartarus. All the magical creatures are able to gain their magic and return to their original forms. Seeing the magic Tirek tries to reach out to them, but his magic knock him down.

Walking down the path, Princess Twilight, Sun, and the others are trying to get back to Ponyville. The magic force comes past them, and the magic is return to them. They're happy that magic is saved. They all gather around, and Princess Twilight teleport them back to the school.

At the school, everypony continue to run and scream to escape the blast. Wire Wolf, The Dazzlings, Crescendo, Moon Shell, Dark Abyss, and Starlight reach the outside of the school. Just then, Falling Star, Sandbar and his friends are teleported out of the school.

Seeing Starlight, Yona happily screams, "Counselor Pony!" and tries to pounce on her.

But Starlight stops her with her magic, "It's nice to see you too."

Then Starlight puts Yona back down.

Ocellus happily says, "I guess magic is back."

Smolder then notices the necklace around Falling Star's neck," Where you get the necklace from?"

Falling Star looks down to see a gem attached to a golden chain, and it looks just like her cutie mark. She has no clue where it come from.

"You've ruin everything Falling Star!" A familiar scream of anger.

The group turn to see Cozy Glow that has some marks from the blast to magic.

"Now Twilight and her ridiculous friends can escape from Tartarus!" Cozy angrily says.

Cozy angrily march up to them, but Wire Wolf, the Dazzlings, and the others stand in front of Falling Star to protect her. But then Princess Twilight, Sun and the others appear in front of them, and show a disappointed glare at Cozy.

Cozy tries to act innocent, "I mean… yay! All my friends are safe!"

"You can cut the act Cozy Glow! Your pen pal Tirek told us all all how he helped you suck up all that magic," Applejack says.

"How could you do this?" Princess Twilight asks.

Then Sun asks, "Why would you do this?"

Cozy Glow growls, and confesses, "Why?! Because friendship is power! You both may be the Princess of Friendship and Harmony, but as Headmare of this school, I can collect even more friends than you."

The students who decide to head back have hear everything Cozy says and are very upset about it.

"You're the one who doesn't get it Cozy. Friendship is powerful, but power isn't why you make friends. I'm sorry I couldn't teach you that," Princess Twilight says, and feels ashamed about Cozy's idea of friendship.

Just then, Gallus says, "Well, you taught us.

Princess Twilight turns to see Gallus and his friends walking toward her with a smile.

"You can't let one bad apple think you failed," Silverstream says.

"And we could have stopped her if we hadn't learned what you taught us about friendship," Sandbar adds.

"Sandbar right. And Falling Star learned lot about friendship," Yona says.

Falling Star smiles in reply.

But Cozy says annoyedly, "Honesty! Loyalty! Genersity! Blah blah blah!"

"Blah blah blah?! Have you learned nothing from all of this?!" Sonata angrily says.

"That really sticks," sun says.

"You're not even ashamed that you're a liar!" Wire Wolf adds.

"Who cares! I can make more friends without using any of them. And if I can't do it here, I'll do it somewhere else!" Cozy says, as she begins to fly off.

Before Cozy can escape, the other students block their path, now that they learn the truth about her.

"Yeah. I don't think so!" The pegasus with the purple ribbon says.

Cozy then flies off in a different direction, but a vortex appear in front of her. Neighsay jump through it and the princesses land beside them.

Cozy tries in the air, but look up to find herself surrounded by pegasu guards. Cozy Glow has no mean of escaping anypony. She lands on the ground, and two pegasus guards put their hoof on her wings so she can't escape. The the rest of the guards surround her. Cozy Glow is captured, Equestria's magic is saved, and the mystery has been wrapped once and for all.
