I never got so exited about finishing a chapter before. Seriously. I just saved the last chapter and i'm already writing this one. Maybe it's because i'm finishing watching HappinessCharge precure (or maybe already finished, i don't know if i will have another stopping period when i post this chapter). Or maybe just because things are getting exiting.
Twilight was doing what she could to fight against Dark Magic. But she kept teleporting.
"I can't believe at how stupid you are. You're stupid enough to believe in that Spike."
"What are you talking about!? He is our friend!" She turned aroud to punch her. But Dark Magic teleported to behind her again.
"I already told you. What kind of friend would make you fight against what you apreciate the most?"
"This is part of our training to save our friends!" She tried to kick her. But she teleported again.
"Oh. So you're talking about that Twilily? I thought you didn't cared about making friends."
"That was before!" She punched her. But she teleported and punched the wall instead.
"Before what? Before becoming a Harmony warrior? Pfft. Don't be stupid. You didn't changed nothing after becoming a Harmony warrior."
"I may not have changed after that! But since i became a Harmony warrior, i have found a lot of precious people for me!" She remenbered of the other girls. "And if i can protect them, i will protect them!" She punched the wall trying to punch Dark Magic again. The punch was strong enough to make a little crack in the wall.
Spike was still staring at the Tree of Harmony. The star symbol started to glow more. It was just as bright as the sun symbol.
"Twilight did it!" He said smiling.
"You used a pretty good amount of strenght in that punch. Beware or you will make this place fall in us."
"Shut up!" She tried to punch her again. But once more punched the wall and made a crack in it. Her body started to glow.
"What?" Asked Dark Magic.
When her body stoped to glow, he was in her transformed form. But it was diferent. She was wearing some lilac gloves. Her skirt was a little longer and it didn't had the star symbols anymore. Now she had the pink star symbol in her chest, with two little white wings. Her shirt now also had a white part covering her shoulders. And she was wearing boots instead of sandles.
"Eternal magic in the pages of a book! Eternal Magic warrior!" She said making a diferent pose.
Just like Twilight, Applejack was doing what she could to beat up Lie. But she also kept teleporting.
"Will you never understand? It is not our fault, it's Spike's fault."
"Ya will never understand! Because he is our friend! And how do ya know him!?" She tried to kick her, but she teleported.
"What if i say that we are in this place because of him?"
"I won't believe in ya. Your very own name says ya're a liar!" She runed to her direction but she teleported again.
"Oh, how mean of you. Judging someone you don't even know."
"The first inpression that i got of ya is the one i am believing in!" She tried to punch her, but she teleported.
"Whatever. I'm still not knowing why you don't just give up of that fight."
"Because i'm doing this for my friends. Because i want to save them!"
"So it's all for that Applelack you talked about? I thought you had lots of other friends."
"I have lots of other friends. But that is no excuse for not to save one of them!" She tried to kick her, but she teleported and the kick made a crack in the tree of the tree-house.
Spike was still looking at the tree. The apple symbol glowed more. Now it was glowing like the star symbol.
"AJ also did it! They are making it!"
"Beware or this tree will go down."
"Just shut up! The only thing i want to do right now is save my friends!"
Applejack's body started to glow.
"Hm?"
When the glow stopped, she was in her transformed form. But it was diferent. Now she was wearing a long light orange skirt, her shirt had a part covering her shoulders aswell, her boots were more simple, and she was also wearing some gloves, the gloves covered her arms but not her hands. Now, she had a orange apple symbol in her chest, with a little pair of white wings. Everything was light orange.
"Eternal honesty in the trees of a forest! Eternal Honesty warrior!" She said doing a diferent pose.
Fluttershy wasn't trying to attack Meanie at all. She was just hiding herself.
"You can't hide. This is a farm. There is not so much places to hide. I will find you even if destroying this whole farm is necessary!"
"Why are you doing this?" Asked Fluttershy afraid.
"I don't need to have a reason to destroy you. If you get too enjured, your 'friend' will take you back anyway."
"I don't want to be rescued by Spike. I want to finish this now! Today! I want to save our friends as soon as i can!"
"So you want to rescue that Flutterly? I thought you was the shy girl who was only friends with animals."
"But that was before i met Twilight and the others. After this... I... I..."
"Changed? Oh, don't be stupid. None of you changed after becoming Harmony warriors. You're still the stupid and shy girl hiding yourself with the animals."
"I am not stupid! Even if i didn't changed, i'm still having my friends by my side! I may still shy, but i want to protect my friends!" For the first time, Fluttershy tried to punch Meanie. But she teleported and the punch made a little crack in the barn's wall.
In the Tree of Harmony, the butterfly symbol started to glow like the star and the apple symbol. Spike smiled.
"Don't get so mad. Try to relax a little."
"How can i relax when one of my best friends is in danger!?"
Fluttershy's body started to glow.
"But what!?"
When the glow stopped, she was in her transformed form. But it was diferent. Now she was wearing a long skirt, her shirt also has a white part covering her shoulders, she was wearing a pair of boots and a pairt of gloves that covered both her hands and her arms. And she had a light pink butterfly symbol in her chest with a little pair of white wings.
"Eternal kindness in the butterflies of our world! Eternal Kindness warrior!" She said doing a diferent pose.
Pinkie Pie was still running away from the plates that were trying to hit her. Now it wasn't only plates, but also drinking glasses. And Sadness was still laughing at her.
"What it's so funny about this? I'm not laughing!" Said Pinkie.
"I thought you had already realised why my name is Sadness. Because it's simply funny to see people sad or getting hurt. When i see people like this, i think 'Wow, i'm so lucky for not being that person'. That's why i don't even try to make friends. I only care about my happiness."
"You're wrong! It is not funny to see someone sad or getting hurt! And it's also wrong to care abou only your own happiness!"
"I think i know the world better than you. In the end, everyone is like this. Having friends or not, everyone cares only about their own happiness."
"That it's not true! I'm doing this because i want to save a precious friend of mine! And i just can't think i'm really happy without knowing if she is happy!"
"So your talking about that Pinkilylie? Well, i think i was right after all. You only want her to be happy for your own happiness."
"This being true or not, i don't care! And... I want to see her smile! I want her to be by my side again! I won't be happy until i see she smiling with me again. I don't think i can have real happiness if my friends are not happy! I want to see them smiling! I want to be happy with all of them!" Her body started to glow.
"Hm? What is happening?"
In the Tree of Harmony, the balloon symbol started to glow more. Now glowing just like the star, the apple, and the butterfly symbols.
The glow stopped. And now Pinkie was in a diferent transformed form. She was now wearing a long skirt, her shirt also had that white part covering her shoulders, she was wearing a pair of short boots whit light blue and yellow bows, and she was also wearing a pair of gloves that covered only her hands. Now she had a light blue balloon symbol in her chest with a little pair of white wings.
"Eternal laughter around the world! Eternal Laughter warrior!" She did a diferent pose.
Rarity was doing her best to avoid Selfishness' attacks.
"I can't understand why do you keep running away. Why don't you simply run away?"
"Because i have to defeat you!"
"Why? To be able to save your oh-so precious friend Rarily? She is just another of your friends. You can make other friend to replace her. Maybe a very popular one, so then you would also be popular. Wasn't that what you wanted since you was little? To be a super famous stylist?"
"You can't simply replace someone like this! Specially a friend! Of course i want to be a famous stylist. But i will always think about my friends before thinking about my dreams!"
"But if you do it like this, then you will never reach your dreams. Your friends will only make you waste time. Care about your friends is a waste of time."
"No! It isn't! I can't see the whort of my dream as a stylist without my friends supporting me!"
"Just stop saying senseless things!" She attacked her and Rarity got badly hurt.
"If i'm going to become famous... I want to have my friends supporting me... What is the worth of living your dream if nobody that you truly know is there to support you? I want to save my friend... I want to support her dream just like she supported mine's!" Her body started to glow.
"What?"
In the tree, the jewel symbol glowed more. Now it was glowing as much as the balloon, the butterfly, the apple, and the star symbol.
When her body stopped glowing, she was in a diferent transformed form. Her skirt was longer, her shirt had the white parts covering her shoulders, she was wearing a pair of shoes with heals, and a pair of gloves covering her hands and her arms. She had a purple jewel symbol in her chest, with a little pair of white wings.
"Eternal generosity reflected in a diamond! Eternal Generosity warrior!"
Rainbow was doing a pretty good job avoiding being smashed by the nearly falling apart shop. Breath properly was the hard part. Then Greed apeared in front of her.
"You..." She said before punching her. Or at least trying. Because Greed teleported behind her.
"Why don't you give up? Loyalty is meaningless. Just use greed and you will be able to get whatever you want."
"Why would i use greed? I am loyal to my friends because this is esential if you want to be in a team. Me and my friends are a team. So i must be loyal to them. Or else i don't have the right of being in a team!"
"Being loyal to someone is meaningless even if you are in a team. In sports the only thing that matters is winning."
"No! You're wrong! I don't enter teams just to win. Even when i don't win, i end up being happy anyway. Because it's fun to work with everyone." She remenbered all the times she has been part of a group in schools activities. Having winner or not, she always loved to be with everyone.
"You're more idiot than i thought." A part of the shop nearly felt in Rainbow. But she jumped back.
"I am not idiot! I bilieve in loyalty! So then i will be loyal to my friends until the end!" Her body started to glow.
In the tree, the thunder symbol started to glow even more. Glowing just like the other ones.
"They are doing it." The tree dropped a little seed. Spike looked at it smiling. "As i expected. They are listening to their hearts and to what they believe in."
When Rainbow's body stopped glowing, she was in a diferent transformed form. She weared a long skirt, her shirt had the white part covering her shoulders, she was wearing a pair of long boots, and a pair of gloves that didn't covered her hands but did cover her arms. She had a red thunder symbol in her chest whit a little pair of white wings.
"Eternal loyalty in teamwork! Eternal Loyalty warrior!"
"That it's impossible! You're not with your pony-fairy! So how did you transformed!?" Asked Dark Magic.
"I guess it isn't just Twilily and the Harmony pact that can make me transform. But my feelings are real..." She closed her eyes pressed her hands against her own chest for a moment. "...And i believe that if i listen to my heart, i will be able to save Twilily for sure!" She attacked Dark Magic so quickly that she couldn't even teleport.
She hit her back in the wall.
"This can't be... Is this my end...?"
"Don't worry. I won't hurt you."
"Hum? So then what are you going to do?"
"I'm going to free you." She go her Harmony pact and spined the circle. "Blessed magic! Hear my heart! Magic Blesser!" A little lilac stick whit a pink star jewel in top of it appeared in Twilight's hand. She magically drawned a star in the air. "Magical Star Blessing Purification!" She pointed the stick to Dark Magic. The star hitted her.
Then Dark Magic opened her eyes and saw Twilight in front of her in a white place.
"I love my friends you know? It doesn't matter if i didn't changed that much after becoming a Harmony warrior. Thanks to that i met them, and now they are very precious to me. I am pretty sure you can make friends too. If you do your best, them i'm sure you will understand what is friendship, and how it can be magic." She offered her a hand.
Dark Magic hesitated a little. But then gave Twilight a gentle smile and got her hand.
"This can't be!" Said Lie.
"Here i come!" Said Applejack before attacking her.
The attack trowed her away. She couldn't barely move. Applejack got to where she was.
"I know this is a little crazy. But i don't wanna hurt ya. Not really." She gave her a caring smile.
"Why? After everything i did you're still going to have mercy?"
"Even if you did bad things, it's never too late to at least try to change your future."
"Change... My future?"
"Yes. You can't change the past. But you're still being able to change your future."
"I guess this is not a bad idea at all."
"So then her i go!" She got her Harmony pact and spined the circle. "Blessed honesty! Hear my heart! Honesty Blesser!" A little light orange stick with a orange apple jewel in top of it appeared in Applejack's hand. She magically drawned a apple in the air. "Honest Apple Blessing Purification!" She pointed the stick to Lie. The apple hitted her.
When Lie opened her eyes, she saw Applejack in front of her.
"Hey, since ya're going to make your own future, ya should make some friends."
"Friends?"
"Yes. When i'm sad, i try thinking about my friends, and when i do this, i feel happy again. I'm sure ya can make some friends. If ya do this, then ya will have someone to open up to and ya will never need to lie again."
"You do really think i can?"
"Of course yes!" She offered her a hand.
Diferent from Dark Magic, she didn't hesitated before gently smiling and taking her hand.
"I can't believe this!" Said Meanie.
"I'm coming!" Fluttershy attacked her. The attack was so strong that when she hit the barn's wall she broke it. Fluttershy got inside the barn and looked at her with a concerned look.
"What are you waiting for!? Just finish me already!"
"I don't want to hurt you."
"Why!?"
"I don't like violence or hurting others. My very own name says this, right? I try to treat everyone with kindness. And i can forgive you for what you did."
"What?"
"If you want to, i can take you out of here."
"You would really do this for me?"
"Of course."
"So then take me out of here. Please."
"Ok." She got her Harmony pact and spined the circle. "Blessed kindness! Hear my heart! Kindness Blesser!" A yellow stick with a light pink butterfly jewel in the top of it appeared in her hand. She magically drawned a butterfly in the air. "Kind Butterfly Blessing Purification!" She pointed the stick to Meanie. The butterfly hit her.
When Meanie opened her eyes, she saw Fluttershy in front of her.
"You know why do i treat others with kindness? Because i want to see them smiling."
"See them... Smiling?"
"Yes. When you're kind with others, you can receive a kind smile in return. When you see someone is sad or hurt, if you use your kindness to cheer them up, i'm sure they will smile to you."
"Someone smiling... for me?"
"Yes. I'm sure you can do it if you make some effort." She offered her a hand.
Meanie hesitated a little before giving her a small smile and taking her hand.
"What!? That is not funny! This can't be possible!"
"It's what you said that can't be possible." Pinkie was standing right in the bottom of the dining table.
"What do you mean?"
The lights were turned off. Then a spotlight that was on lighted where Pinkie was. And another one lighted where Sadness was.
"There's going to have times where you will want to see others smiling. There's going to have times where you will want to cheer up others." She placed her hands where the light blue balloon symbol was in her chest. "Those feelings... Those wishes... They are what make me strong!" She attacked Sadness with the spotlight following her.
The attack trowed Sadness against the wall. The spotlight also following her.
"I won't hurt you anymore." Said Pinkie getting closer to her. "Blessed laughter! Hear my heart! Laughter Blesser!" A light pink stick with a light blue balloon jewel in the top of it appeared in her hand. She magically drawned a balloon in the air. "Happy Balloon Blessing Purification!" She pointed the stick to Sadness. The balloon hit her.
When sadness opened her eyes, she saw Pinkie standing right in front of her.
"I already told you that i won't hurt you anymore." Said Pinkie hugging Sadness.
"What?"
"I wouldn't be doing the right thing if i did hurt you. I want to see everyone smiling. And you're not a exception."
Sadness' eyes got a little teary before she hugged Pinkie back.
"Wah! What's this!?" Asked Selfishness.
"It's the true power of my generosity!" Said Rarity jumping so she would be behind her.
"Power of generosity? That's ridiculus! If you are generous with others, you won't win anything in response!" She tried to attack Rarity, but she dodged.
"That's not true. When you are generous, you are always paid back with a smile. And a single smile is worth more than popularity."
"Stop lying! Is because of generosity that i am here! Is because of generosity that my heart is broken!"
"What do you mean?"
"I was generous to a boy i liked. And then he took advantage of me! I did everything he told me to... And in the end i didn't won anything back! He told me to help him with the girl he liked. And i helped. And in the end he said 'now you are useless to me, never talk to me again'. I am like this because of this freaking generosity!" She fell to her knees and started crying.
Rarity looked at her with a concerned look. She understanded how Selfishness feeled. In the past, she was also heart broken by boys she liked. Even she was so generous with them, they were always cold hearted with her. She tought of a solution to Selfishness' problem.
"I will help you. Don't worry." Selfishness wiped her tears and then looked at her confused and yet sad. "Blessed generosity! Hear my heart! Generosity Blesser!" A white stick with a purple jewel in the top of it appeared in Rarity's hand. She magically drawned a jewel in the air. "Generous Jewel Blessing Purification!" She pointed the stick to Selfishness. The jewel hit her.
When Selfishness oppened her eyes, she saw Rarity standing in front of her.
"I understand how you feel." Said Rarity.
"Hm?"
"Just like you, i was also rejected by a lot of boys in the past. It didn't mattered how much i was generous to them, they would always act cold hearted."
"I don't understand you. How can you still being so happy when you were rejected so much?"
"Because i started to move forward. And even if they rejected me, i was still preying for their happiness."
"Their... Their happiness?"
"Yeah. It's strange but, you did the same right? You helped him with the girl he liked because you wanted him to be happy, right?"
"Well... I guess that is it." Selfishness started smiling.
"Well, i'm pretty sure that you can still being able to change your life." Rarity hugged her.
"Will you be by my side?"
"Of course! We are friends now, right?"
"Well..." She hugged her back. "So then from now on we are friends!"
"How!? How did you do that!?" Asked Greed.
"Not even i know how. But... I guess it's the strenght of my loyalty."
"No! Loyalty doesn't bring you strenght! The only thing that matters is your own benefit!" She tried to punch Rainbow, but she jumped and got a little far from her. Greed hit the wall.
"That is not true. Did you ever got in a team? In a team you need to have loyalty."
"Oh, really?" Rainbow saw some tears in her eyes. "So then tell this to the stupid girls that were in the same team as i in a school race!"
"What they did?"
"We were supposed to work together... We were supposed to get to the finish line together... But instead... They tould me to buy snaks for them, when i came back, they were already running. I got to the race as fast as i could, but it was too late. The race was over... And then i discovered that they said i gave up!" She looked at Rainbow in anger. "And when i got to talk to them, the only thing they said was 'Who would be loyal to you? Since you're always helping everybody, anyone would take advantage of it.'. They... They... They betrayed me!" She fell to her knees and started to cry while staring to the ground.
Now, Rainbow didn't knew what to think about her anymore. She thought Greed would always lie and never be loyal to anyone. But, the story she told and the tears in her eyes were enough to prove she wasn't lying. The once she was just another girl that would always help others. And one day, these girls took advantage of it. She looked at Greed again and heared a very bad noise. Some wood that was above her head was about to fall.
"Beware!" She said changing the direction where the wood would fall so it wouldn't hir Greed's head.
Greed looked at her confused, her face still full of tears.
"What are you doing? Why did you protected me? After everything that i have done to you, why did you protected me!?"
"After hearing that story, it's kinda obvious that i will protect you."
"What?"
Another wood fell somewhere.
"I don't think this is a safe place to talk. Let's get out of here."
Greed nodded and guided Rainbow through the way out the shop.
Once they were outside, they crossed the road and sit down in the ground. Greed still crying. Some time passed, Greed wasn't crying so much anymore, but she was still sobbing. Rainbow felt poor for her, so she hugged her. Greed didn't even flinched. She simply accepted the hug and kept sobbing and crying in Rainbow's shoulder until she had nothing more to cry or sob.
"Thank you." Said Greed lifting up her head, so she would be able to see Rainbow in the eyes, without getting away from the hug.
"You are welcome." She stared at Greed for a few seconds. "You know, you remenber me of Scoota-loo."
"Who is that?"
"A girl that i know. Even though she lives in a orphanage, she comes to the same school as me. And, well, she sees me as some kind of idol. She is so nice, she's like a sister to me."
"Rainbow..."
"Yes?"
Greed got out of the hug, standed up and bowed to Rainbow.
"Please! Take me out of here with you!"
Some silence was kept between them for a little. Until Rainbow smiled and said:
"Okay."
"Really!?" She stopped bowing and looked at Rainbow standing normaly.
"Of course. We are friends now, right?"
"So then... From now on we are friends!" Said Greed with a gentle smile.
Rainbow chuckled and they kept in silence for some seconds before Rainbow said:
"Blessed loyalty! Hear my heart! Loyalty Blesser!" A light blue stick with a red thunder in top of it appeared in her hand. She magically drawned a thunder in the air. "Loyal Thunder Blessing Purification!" She pointed the stick to Greed. The thunder hit her. She didn't flinched, just like Rainbow knew by instinct what to do, she also knew she wouldn't be hurted.
Twilight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie, Rarity and Rainbow waked up in front of the Tree of Harmony with Spike looking at them smiling. They were all in their normal forms.
"Where... Where is Greed?" Asked Rainbow sitting down.
"If you are talking about them, i guess one of them is her." Said Spike.
They turned around to see that Dark Magic, Lie, Meanie, Sadness, Selfishness and Greed were all unconcious lying under the tree. But they were all wearing school uniforms. They all smiled.
"I'm still wondering how was i able to know what to say." Said Fluttershy.
"Ya too?" Asked Applejack.
"What? Do you mean that purification thing?" Asked Pinkie.
"You all purified all of them. Since you heared your hearts, you knew what to say by instinct."
"Spike... What was that 'Eternal' thing?"
"You did it too?" Asked Rarity.
"It's a form that Harmony warriors win only when they hear they hearts and do what they say. Unhapply this is somehow rare. Because mostly people hear their hearts the most when they are under pression."
"Oooh." Said Pinkie.
"Hey... How did Greed and these girls got in these places?" Asked Rainbow.
"You heared her story? Well, they are girls that had their hearts swallowed by despair or sadness. Being conviced that what you girls protect only brings pain, because they treatened some people with friendship, honesty, kindness, laughter, generosity and loyalty and these people hurted them."
"Really? I didn't heared any story." Said Twilight.
"Well, they don't feel very confortable speaking about their past."
"Will they be okay?" Asked Applejack.
"Yes. They will only stay unconcious for some time. After this they would probably go back to their normal lifes. And, now i should probably show you what you got as a reward for passing." Said Spike walking to a corner to get something. He came back with a little chest. "Here it is. Something that will help you girls save Twilily and the others. And maybe even defeating Nightmare Moon."
"Deafiting Nightmare Moon?" Asked Fluttershy.
"What is that thing?" Asked Rarity.
"That is... The 'Eternal Friendship Chest'!"
I hope i stop writing chapters long like this! I hope i can make next one shorter!
*When i'm editing in the site* Wait... MORE THAN 4.000 WORDS!?
