Meanwhile with Atticus, Sci-Twi, Sunset, Flash, Spike, and Patch...
Spike and Patch were biting at the traps to free Sci-Twi, Atticus, Flash, and Sunset. After freeing them all, it was time for them to get out of the cave and back to the camp.
"Nice work, guys." Sunset smiled and pet the dogs.
"Now, let's get out of here." Flash said as he ran to one boulder and tried to push it out of the way.
"Allow me." Atticus said.
Flash then stepped out of the way and smiled, allowing him to work his magic. Atticus soon cracked his fingers before charging in and using his god strength to move the boulders out of the way. The boulders were slowly moving, but eventually rolled away.
"Come on!" Atticus told the others.
They soon followed him to the camp.
"Why are you fighting us?!" Gloriosa glared to the others. "We're doing this to save our camp! We're doing this for YOU!"
"We're trying our best!" Mo also glared to the others.
"Gloriosa, Monique, let's just think about this for a moment, shall we?" Rarity chuckled nervously. "I mean, I think Camp Everfree is absolutely delightful, but I just don't know that I'm quite ready to give up my weekly trips to the spa."
This caused for Gloriosa's and Mo's right eyes to start twitching.
"Way to go, Rarity." Cherry deadpanned.
"The spa?" Mo asked calmly.
"The spa?!" Gloriosa and Mo glared.
Cherry then began to run for her life as Gloriosa and Mo struck at all of them. Unfortunately, one of the roots had caught her. Cherry yelped and she was dragged from the roots which made her struggle.
"Cherry!" Kimba called out before going to save her.
"Kimbaaaa!" Cherry yelped.
Meanwhile, outside of the wall of thorns...
Gloriosa and Mo even captured Timber. Sunset was trying to push against the wall, but it was no use.
"Let me try to get through." Atticus said.
"Please do." Sunset nodded to him since he was strong of course.
Atticus soon cracked his fingers before he began to push against the wall.
"Twilight, do you think you could use your magic to help Atticus?" Sunset suggested.
"I don't wanna use too much," Sci-Twi trembled. "Midnight Sparkle could take over!"
"She won't take over." Flash assured her.
"Our friends are in there." Sunset added in, she then took Sci-Twi's hands and transformed.
Flash seem to be able to do the same thing.
Sci-Twi took a deep breath of determination so she could help Atticus with the thorny wall. "Okay."
Atticus and Sci-Twi stood together and then they both pushed against the wall with all their might. And where Sci-Twi began to use her magic to help make the thorny wall separate.
"I hope I don't get splinters." Atticus said as he used his strength with Sci-Twi's magic.
Due to his strength, Atticus didn't get any splinters luckily.
"Please, Gloriosa and Mo," Timber begged for the chaos to stop. "What you're doing is crazy! You have to listen to me!"
Mo looked down at their brother and where she soon saw that what she and Gloriosa were doing was crazy while her sister was still using her magic.
"That isn't Gloriosa." Sunset said firmly as she stood with Flash.
Sci-Twi and Atticus then came through the wall with their powers combined and it then closed up behind them once they were on the other side.
"Sunset's right." Flash said.
"Twilight! Atticus!" Pinkie beamed.
"Sunset! Flash!" Rarity added in.
"You're all okay!" Rainbow Dash smiled.
Mo soon got down and away from her sister.
"Mo?" Atticus asked hopefully.
Mo zipped over to Atticus and hugged him without another word.
"Looks like with just one geode she was able to gain back control." Cherry said.
"That isn't our sister," Mo said to Timber. "It's someone who's been consumed by Equestrian magic."
"Whoever you are, you need to let our sister go!" Timber glared at Gaea Everfree with tears in his eyes. "Please, Gloriosa, come back, we need you!"
"Gloriosa, this isn't the way to save the camp; we'll find another way!" Mo called out.
The thorny roots expanded and grew as the earth shook from the destructive magic.
"This is getting too dangerous!" Atticus yelped.
"You can say that again." Patch added.
Mo began to use her magic to try and restore everything. Rarity used her magic to bring out a diamond shield to protect them against the roots.
"I'm so sorry about this, everyone." Mo frowned.
"What are you doing?!" Gloriosa asked Mo.
"I'm sorry, but this just isn't right!" Mo replied.
"I thought we were going to save the camp together?!" Gloriosa asked.
"So did I, Gloriosa, but you've gone too far!" Mo frowned, hating to do this against her own sister, but she was left with no choice.
Some roots tried to grab onto Mo. Mo was using all her will to stop her biological sister.
"Mo, look out!" Rarity yelped once she saw the roots going after her. She soon got Mo inside the diamond force field along with the others. Rarity used all her Equestrian magic to protect themselves against Gloriosa's unstoppable forces.
It seem to be working for a little, but she soon noticed her force field was starting to crack.
"I can't keep this up forever!" Rarity cried back to the others as she felt herself getting weaker and weaker.
"Atticus, Twilight, you two have to use your magic." Mo said.
"It's up to you guys to pull the brambles apart." Sunset also urged.
"No, there's too many of them," Sci-Twi shook her head fearfully. "It would take too much magic. I can't."
"It's the only way!" Flash encouraged. "You guys have to embrace the magic inside you both!"
Atticus sighed as they were both right.
"I'll join in." Patch said.
"But what if 'she' takes over?" Sci-Twi then asked, referring to Midnight Sparkle. "What if instead of saving everyone, I turn into Midnight Sparkle and only make things worse?!"
"Same with Shadow Fudo, what if he takes over?" Atticus asked out of worry.
"That won't happen!" Sunset replied. "We won't let it."
The rest of the group smiled to cheer Sci-Twi and Atticus up and soothe their fears.
"I'll even embrace my magic with you both to make this less scary." Patch said.
The diamond shield was now crackling.
"It's now or never." Patch said to the two.
Atticus and Sci-Twi sighed as they began to embrace their magic with Patch. There were glows all over. The diamond shield was cracking as Rarity tried to keep it up as long as possible, but eventually passed out from overdoing it.
"We better do it now." Atticus said.
"Be stronger than they are!" Flash coached.
Atticus nodded before he closed his eyes and concentrated. Sci-Twi did the same and they channeled their inner magical beings. And where their eyes were beginning to look like Midnight Sparkle and Shadow Fudo.
Shadow Fudo laughed behind Atticus. "YOU WILL NEVER CONTROL ME!" he mocked his good self. "I WILL ALWAYS BE APART OF YOU! JUST LIKE UNCLE SOMBRA!" he then fused right inside of Atticus to take control.
Midnight Sparkle replied the same way to Sci-Twi except for the last part of the sentence.
"Noooo!" Atticus and Sci-Twi yelped as they felt trapped once Shadow Fudo and Midnight Sparkle took over them.
"Atticus, listen to me, you are in charge!" Cherry's voice said.
"Cherry?" Atticus looked to see his best friend in a spirit form.
"You can do this, Atticus!" Cherry coached.
"Twilight, listen to me, you are in charge!" Sunset's voice said in Sci-Twi's head.
"Sunset?" Sci-Twi looked to see Sunset Shimmer in a spirit form.
"You can do this, Twilight!" Sunset coached.
"You both can do this." Sunset and Cherry coached.
"You are both lights, darlings!" Rarity cheered. "You're both forces of good!"
"Yeah, you guys can kick the darkness's butt!" Rainbow Dash praised.
"We're here for you, guys!" Pinkie Pie beamed.
"And we'll be here no matter what." Applejack smiled.
"We believe in you guys." Fluttershy cooed.
"You can do it, Atticus and Twilight!" Flash Sentry cheered.
"You can put anything you set your minds to." Patch smiled.
"We know you can beat them!" Mo added.
"YOU ARE NOT SHADOW FUDO!" Cherry strongly yelled.
"AND YOU ARE NOT MIDNIGHT SPARKLE!" Sunset strongly yelled at Sci-Twi.
"No... We are... Atticus Fudo and Twilight Sparkle!" Atticus and Sci-Twi said together, becoming stronger themselves. "And the magic we carry inside of us is the Magic of Friendship!" Atticus and Sci-Twi were able to break free from Shadow Fudo and Midnight Sparkle's holds.
The root barricade shook slightly and the roots were broken and shattered from Sci-Twi and Atticus's abilities. Atticus and Sci-Twi then flew up with their wings to stop Gloriosa. Patch was now in his human form and where he used his magic against roots that would try to stop Atticus and Sci-Twi.
"They still need a little more magic..." Sabrina said to herself, she then reached into her backpack and took out her Witch Training wand. "Hopefully witch magic makes an exception..." she then waved her wand and blasted against the roots with the others as she was slowly growing golden pegasus wings. "Whoa, I didn't see this coming." She said as she noticed her wings.
"NO! STOP!" Gloriosa begged.
A big blast then hit her as her geode necklace flew off and split apart. Each of the geodes came down to the human Mane Six. And where five of them came down to Sabrina, Flash, Patch, Cherry, and Atticus.
