The elements dragged them for what seemed like hours. Butter, Honey, Cordellia and Spike were exhausted from trying to keep up, without getting any chance to rest. Twilight finally used her magic to float them so they didn't have to run. They seemed to be in Fillydelphia when they finally jerked into a halt. It was usually a cheerful, welcoming place, but today it was full of horrifying weapons and. And right in the middle was the cause of all this terror – Lime Jelly, polishing a long, curved, lethal looking sword.

Fluttershy squealed in fright.

"Let's get this over with." said Twilight. The bearers of the elements charged forward, while the other four stood back, unsure of what to do. Lime watched them, and yawned dramatically.

"What brave little girls, always rushing off to save the day with your precious little necklaces." He said sneeringly. "Oh please, at least make this fight a bit exciting for me. I'm against a wimpy pegasus, the rainbow girl who's all talk, an immature pink earth pony, a diva, a country-bumpkin and YOU!" he spat at Twilight, the others looking furious. "Why someone would make you a princess, I can't imagine!"

"YOU BE QUITE LIME!" shouted Cordellia from the back, looking angry for the first time they had seen. She looked at the mane six saying "Go show him girls! Use the elements, quick!"

The girls took formation. Lime charged at them, gripping the sword with his green magic. Twilight started to panic. The elements were glowing, but nothing was happening. "Concentrate girls!" she said urgently. They all tried with all their might, but still nothing happened. It usually didn't take any effort. Suddenly Twilight remembered. She looked back and called "Butter, Honey, you have to help us!"

"But what do we do?" asked Honey anxiously. Twilight didn't have an answer.

"Let me handle this!" said Rainbow. She flew to a cloud and within seconds made it emit lightning. She moved the cloud over Lime, chasing him around. He yelled out as they struck him repeatedly, but it didn't do much damage except to shrivel his mane and tail. Then he managed to shoot spells at her with his horn, and send her crashing to the ground while the cloud floated away.

"Dash!" exclaimed Apple-Jack. She took out her lasso and threw it at Lime, tying him up. He immediately started doing an unbinding spell. In that time, Rainbow got back on her feet, and they took formation again. Still nothing happened.

"Now me!" said Pinkie, taking out her party cannon. The colorful balloons and confetti were showered all over him, looking very out of place with the situation. Lime's hooves had gotten tangled in streamers, and he kept tripping as he tried to step out of them. The others couldn't help laughing at the ridiculous sight. Fluttershy had seen some birds flying past her. She whispered to them softly. The birds nodded their tiny heads, flew over to Lime and started pecking him. He growled in frustration but the birds showed no signs of stopping until he used his magic to force them away. "What do we do?" asked Apple-Jack. "We can't just distract him forever"

Rarity had the next plan. She took out a sparkly red sash from her backpack and used her magic to tie it around Lime's face. His shouts were muffled by the thick fabric. His horn however was still uncovered, and once again he got himself free. He looked livid. He charged at the girls, who were still trying to use the elements. They soon gave up and started running, but Lime was extremely fast. He chased them into an alley- a dead end. He raised the sword as they cried out in fear.

"NOO" shouted Spike. The other three unicorns were close behind. Honey tackled Lime while Cordellia and Butter forced the sword from him. Taken off guard, Lime was too surprised to react at first, and then started fighting them again.

"I'm ashamed that I'm related to you!" screamed Honey, letting out all the feelings she had kept hidden her whole life. "Did you ever think what you were doing to everypony?"

Lime rolled his eyes replying "It's not like I'm proud of being your brother either you traitor! And I'm not going to listen to your pathetic 'be a nice pony' speech. Being nice never got anyone anywhere!"

"Well it got us friends!" said Butter suddenly.

"Equestria has prospered because of friendship-because of being nice." added Cordellia. "These mares have proven that to us. They have saved Equestria so many times with harmony. And that doesn't mean the elements. It means the harmony that's always inside them."

"I've done wrong too" admitted Honey humbly. "Because I as well thought that being good didn't matter. But when I met you guys, I realized... I realized why you always save the day. I realized how you save the day. And I realized why I was never happy. It wasn't because we were poor. You can have all the money and power in Equestria" she looked at Lime pointedly "but if you don't have harmony, you're nothing."

"I wouldn't trade my friends for all the gems in the world." continued Spike, hugging Twilight.

As soon as he said those words, the elements glowed again, and raised the bearers of them to the air. But along with them, their other friends rose up too. From each of them, a colorful light came, not from the elements, but from inside their own bodies. The lights all came together, twisting themselves tightly to each other, and formed one large stream of white light. It wrapped itself around Lime. When it faded away, Lime was trapped in a clear cube. It looked like a block of ice with him frozen in the middle, along with his sword. The others had floated down safely. They caught their breath and looked at eachother, and at the cube. Finally, Twilight said "It's over now."
