"It's almost midnight!" Medley shouted, panicked.
"What are we gonna do now?" Gusty asked.
Enchantra laughed. She just had to get up to the roof to see this from a better view. Tirac followed.
"We can't let them go!" Galaxy said.
"Everybody to the roof!" Firefly ordered.
"Hiyo!" Airedale shouted, and followed Firefly.
Lofty gave her cousin a Look, and followed him. The others darted up to the roof as fast as they could. They had only half an hour to stop Enchantra and Tirac from plunging the world into eternal darkness. Enchantra looked over the tower at the land and laughed wickedly.
"The world as we know it will soon be covered in darkness!" she shouted. Thunder clapped at lightning flashed through the sky as she cackled.
"Not so fast!" Gusty shouted.
"Haven't you ever heard the saying it's always darkest before the dawn?" Bow Tie asked.
"And what is that supposed to mean you pathetic little twerps?" Enchantra asked, putting her hands on her hips. "All of you are pathetic."
"We'll show you pathetic!" Anne shouted. "CHAAARRRRRGE!"
Megan, Anne, and Franky charged. They jumped and tried to tackle her to the ground. Enchantra merely yawned, and sent a piece of magic at the three twelve-year-olds. Itsent them right into the wall. CRASH!
"Ouch," Anne said.
"Why don't you pick on someone your own size?!" Firefly shouted.
"Because it's more fun to pick on pathetic little ponies!" Enchantra said. With that, she summoned all her magical powers and grew about a hundred feet tall.
"This isn't a problem," Fizzy said.
"Are you kidding?!" Gusty shouted. "This is a calamity!"
"Gusty, try to blow her down," Paradise said.
Gusty tilted her head down and used her magic. Strong winds filled the air, but it was merely a breeze to Enchantra. In fact, she blew wind in the ponies' direction and then sucked it back her way like a vacuum cleaner. Medley was swept up right into it. Airedale was on the scene. He found a rope, tied a loop in it, and lassoed Medley.
"I've gotcha, Medley!" he shouted, acting very heroic.
"But who's got you?!" Medley cried.
Suddenly, Airedale was swept up in the wind. Lofty grabbed the lasso with her teeth, but she couldn't stay on the ground. Firefly, Bow Tie, and Applejack grabbed the rope to help, but they were being swept off as well. The unicorns, the baby ponies, Megan, Anne, Franky, and the Bushwoolies held onto the lasso, but they were having a hard time staying on the ground.
"Don't let go!" Applejack shouted.
Enchantra found this amusing. She stopped the wind and everyone fell to the ground with a thud. Enchantra cracked up.
"That does it!" Gusty shouted.
"I've had enough!" Mimic shouted.
Mimic, Gusty, Fizzy, and Moondancer used their powers all at once on Enchantra. She laughed and zapped them away.
"You think a little unicorn magic will stop me?!" she shouted. "Ha ha! It will take more than that to end Eternal Darkness!"
"Looks like we're sunk," Franky said.
Enchantra began zapping our heroes right and left. She dropped rocks on them and sent them into walls. Soon, every single pony, human, and Bushwoolie had been either scratched or bruised.
"We can't defeat her," Buttons asked.
"Her power's much too strong for us," Galaxy said.
"What about all that talk about unicorn magic?" Anne asked.
"Paradise, please try to remember!" Megan pleaded. "We've only got fifteen minutes to midnight!"
Paradise began to think hard. Suddenly, she remembered something.
"Unicorns!" she shouted. "All of you need to put your horns together!"
"What?" Mimic asked.
"You need to put your horns together and generate your magic! That was how the Rainbow of Light was created! All the unicorns in the land put their horns together!"
"It looks like we don't have any other choice," Galaxy said.
"We'd better get together and fast," Powder said. "Come on, everybody!"
The unicorns got into a large circle and put their horns together. Then they concentrated as hard as they could to use their magic. Once their horns lit up, power began to generate. In the meantime, the others began to fight off Tirac and Enchantra from creating more darkness. Enchantra kept blasting them back into the wall.
"It's all up to the unicorns now," Megan said.
"We help, too!" Baby Ribbon said.
"Yeah!" Baby Moondancer shouted, as she, Baby Ribbon, Baby Gusty, and Baby Glory put their horns together and generated their power. Every little bit helped.
Soon, all the unicorn magic combined. As it did, Ember began to groan. That was when Franky noticed a rainbow forming from the unicorns horns and the light was surrounding Ember. He pulled on Anne's sleeve and pointed.
"What's going on with Ember?" he asked. "You know she was looking like that back where we had to fight the octopus."
"I don't know," Anne said. "What do you think, Paradise?"
Paradise didn't know what to think. Soon, Ember flew into the air without wings and she moved in front of Enchantra's face.
"A little baby pony is going to defeat me?" she scoffed. "Oh no, I'm so scared."
Ember glared at Enchantra and with that glare, rainbow light soared from her eyes. The others were shocked. Then, a giant rainbow came from the unicorns' horns and surrounded Ember, giving her more rainbow power. These powers suddenly blasted from her hind quarters, as a star appeared on her sides. Then the unicorns made another rainbow, similar to the Rainbow of Light. It surrounded Tirac and Enchantra and let out it's full power, as well as Ember, giving off her own powers.
"Duck and cover, everybody!" Megan shouted.
Midnight Castle began to rumble. Pieces of the stone walls were falling. The rainbow the unicorns made was making it's way around the castle, destroying it, Tirac, and Enchantra.
"No!" Enchantra shouted. "I've come too far to stop now!"
She began to use her own magic, but it was no match for the rainbow.
"Nooooo!" Enchantra screamed, as she and Tirac exploded with a loud KABOOM!
The castle started to shake. Soon, the unicorns stopped using all their magic. Ember landed safely on the ground. The unicorns collapsed. The others just stood there, and stared at the spot where Tirac and Enchantra blew up.
"Wow," Gusty said.
"What a bang," Applejack said.
It began to rain all of a sudden. Franky looked at his watch. It was midnight on the dot. He broke into a big smile.
"We did it," he said. "We did it! It's midnight! It's midnight! We did it! We've stopped Eternal Darkness!"
"All right!" Anne shouted.
"Hooray!" Fizzy cheered.
"We'd better get back to Dream Valley and see if Majesty's okay," Paradise said.
"Let's go!" Megan shouted.
The group ran from Midnight Castle and back to Dream Valley as fast as they could. Lickety Split and Shady were standing guard at the entrance of the castle at the Royal Paradise.
"Oh great," Lickety Split said. "It's raining."
"What time is it, Danny?" Shady asked. Danny checked watch, and his face grew very grim.
"Midnight," he said. "And we don't know if they made it or not."
Suddenly, Lickety Split saw the others run to the cave, bruised, battered, and wet from the rain. Not one of them came out of the fight without a scratch.
"We did it!" Anne shouted. "We've stopped them!"
"Hooray!" Shady shouted. "Let's get inside and see what happens with Majesty!"
The others gathered around Majesty, watching anxiously for something to happen. All of a sudden, her body stopped glowing. Julie gripped Megan's hand and bit her lip. Majesty groaned slightly, shifted, and his eyes slowly opened.
"What time is it?" she asked, leaning up. "What happened? What are all of you little ponies doing here?"
"She's okay!" Cupcake shouted.
"Yay!" Julie cheered, as she hugged Cupcake around the neck.
"Of course I'm all right," Majesty said. "But will someone please tell me what's happening?"
"It's a long story, your Majesty," Anne said. "See, it all started at the spring festival the little ponies were giving."
Bit by bit, the group filled Majesty in on the details of what had happened, from the fire at Paradise Estate to the battle on the tower at Midnight Castle.
"Ember was the real hero," Twilight said.
"I'm wondering how she did it," Franky said. "All that rainbow power coming out of a cute little pony! Wow!" "
"I don't know," Ember said. "Once Twilight and the other unicorns put their horns together and made their magic, I just zapped the bad guys with the rainbow magic."
"I always knew you were a special little pony," Twilight said, as she nuzzled Ember.
"Hey, guys!" Danny called. "It stopped raining and the sun's coming up!"
The others walked out of the palace in order to see the sunrise as they stood on the hill. It truly was a beautiful sight. But then, Baby Shady saw something at the bottom of the hill.
"Look everybody!" she shouted.
Everybody looked and saw that Paradise Estate had been restored, as well as the Lullaby Nursery.
"It's a miracle!" Firefly shouted.
"It's impossible!" Wind Whistler shouted, astonished.
"I don't care what it is!" Medley shouted. "It's home!"
Nobody could argue there. They were happy to have their old home back.
"I'll never look at it the same way again," Twilight said.
"You know something, Twilight?" Anne said. "I won't either."
As the little ponies and their friends sang, a rainbow shined over Paradise Estate. The ponies knew they had saved the day, and their greatest adventure had come to an end.
The End
