Chapter 24: Friendship is Magic!
(Battle Theme: Night of Fate)
The Heartless attack the group, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by an upper slash while Elena casts Thunder, but the Heartless deliver horse kicks, but Max bashes with his shield while Tails tail swipes while Blaze attacks with her claws followed by flame attacks. The Heartless charge at the group, but Shadow spin dashes and uses Chaos Spears while Storm unleashes electricity while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga, but the Heartless continue to attack. Lucky uses Egg Roll, but the Heartless charge again, but Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley throws sleep darts, allowing Murray to punch the Heartless, but the Heartless keep striking back, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade and then casts Fire and defeats the Heartless.
"You'll have to do better than that, Jr.!" Ky said.
"Idiot! You're already too late anyway! Nightmare Moon is back and she'll bring never-ending night to Equestria as she's destined to!" Bowser Jr. said.
"We'll see about that!" Ky replied, as he flies to charge at Nightmare Moon.
"Ky!" Elena yelled.
"Stand back, foal!" Nightmare Moon commanded.
"Not a chance!" Ky replied, as he attempts to slash with his Keyblade, but Nightmare Moon disappears into blue ether that flies away and evil laughing is left behind.
"Well, time to find the Keyhole." Bowser Jr. said, as he leaves.
"Get back here!" Rainbow Dash demanded, as she flies after the blue ether.
"She got away!" T.J. said.
"We have to go after her before this world will be in eternal darkness...or worse!" Kiyo said.
Just then, the group see Twilight running out of the town hall.
"Where is she going?" Blaze asked.
"Let's find out." Ky said and the group follow Twilight.
The group go after Twilight while fighting off Heartless that have now appeared and the group defeated them and continue to find Twilight until they see her entering her library and the group go in.
In the library, Twilight puts Spike in his bed.
"We gotta stop Nightmare Moon!" Spike said, but goes back to sleep.
"You've been up all night, Spike. You ARE a baby dragon." Twilight said, as she finishes tucking Spike into bed and then she goes to her bookshelves.
The group enter the library and find Twilight searching book after book.
"There you are. What're you doing?" Ky asked.
"I'm trying to find out the Elements of Harmony." Twilight answered, still searching her books. "Ugh! How can I stop Nightmare Moon without the Elements of Harmony?" Twilight asked.
Just then, Rainbow Dash is now in the library and is in Twilight's face.
"And just what ARE the Elements of Harmony?! And how did YOU know about Nightmare Moon? Are you a SPY?" Rainbow Dash asked, but Elena whacks Rainbow's head with her staff.
"You REALLY are an idiot, are you?" Elena asked.
"Watch it, you!" Rainbow Dash yelled, but Applejack gets between them.
"Simmer down, you two." Applejack said.
"Twilight's not a spy, but she knows something, right?" Tails asked.
"I read all about the prediction of Nightmare Moon. There are mysterious objects called the Elements of Harmony and they are the only things that can stop her. The thing is that I don't know what they are or where to find them. I don't even know what they do." Twilight said.
"'Elements of Harmony: A Reference Guide.' Here it is!" Pinkie Pie said, giving Twilight the book.
"How'd you find that?" Twilight asked.
"It was under 'E'!" Pinkie Pie answered in a sing-song.
"Oh." Twilight said.
"So what does it say?" Zatch asked.
"There are six Elements of Harmony, but only five are known: Kindness, Laughter, Generosity, Honesty, and Loyalty. The sixth Element is a complete mystery. It is said that the last known location of the five Elements was in the ancient castle of the royal pony sisters." Twilight explained.
Unknowing to the group, Bowser Jr. is listening to Twilight again and he smirks evilly.
"The ancient castle of the royal pony sisters, eh?" Bowser Jr. said to himself and he sees the blue ether flying to somewhere. "She knows the way. Heartless, let's follow!" Bowser Jr. commanded and the Heartless follow the blue ether along with Bowser Jr. to where she is headed.
"Where is this castle located?" Max asked.
"It's located in what is now...the Everfree Forest." Twilight answered and the ponies gasp.
"In that case, let's go there." Ky said.
"But, it's really scary in there." Fluttershy said.
"You have to let go of your fears and face 'em head on." Ky said.
"You're a brave one, ain't ya, Ky?" Applejack asked.
"If that's where these Elements of Harmony are, then we have check that out." Ky said.
Later on, the group and the ponies arrive at the entrance of the Everfree Forest.
"So this is it?" Sly asked.
"Let's get going then." Shadow said.
"Wee! Way ahead of you!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Wait. Look, I appreciate the offer, but I can handle this on my own." Twilight said.
"Like WE even asked for YOUR permission, Miss Loner! WE have OUR own reasons for going there! We don't care what you say! Ky has something to check out and I'll make sure that your ridiculous friendship-hating doesn't get in the way of it!" Elena yelled.
"Elena, calm down. Let's just find this castle and the Elements. I have a feeling that's where Bowser Jr. and the Heartless are heading to try and find that Keyhole, a Light Crystal piece, and the Prince of Light." Ky said and the group start to enter the Everfree Forest.
"Well, we should go there together too. We sure ain't gonna let our new friends go in that creepy place alone. We're gonna stick to you like caramel on a candy apple." Applejack said, as she enters the forest and Fluttershy, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash go along with her.
"Even if there's candy apples in there." Pinkie Pie said, as she enters.
Twilight sighs and enters the forest as well.
(Everfree Forest)
The group start exploring around the Everfree Forest.
"Have any you been to this place before?" Murray asked.
"Oh, heavens no. It's just dreadful." Rarity answered.
"It ain't natural. Folks say it don't work the same as Equestria." Applejack said.
"Really? Is it like...forbidden?" T.J. asked.
"You could say that." Rarity answered.
"Nopony even knows. Because nopony that has come in, has ever gone OUT!" Rainbow Dash said, but Elena whacks with her staff again.
"Shut up." Elena said annoyed.
"C'mon. We gotta keep going." Ky said.
As the group keep moving, they see Shadow Heartless appearing.
"Oh, dear..." Fluttershy said.
"What are those dreadful abominations?" Rarity asked.
"Heartless. Stand back!" Ky said.
The Shadow Heartless attack the group with thei claws, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Blizzard while Elena shoots magic bolts while Max uses Shield Missiles, but the Shadow Heartless sink into the ground, but as they rise, Tails tail swipes and then throws bombs while Blaze uses Fire Drill while Shadow home attacks and then multi punches. The Shadow Heartless attack with their claws, but Storm shoots electric shots while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Lucky uses Headbutt while T.J. slashes with his knife, but the Shadow Heartless keep fighting back with their claws and sink back into the ground, but as they rise, Sly uses Cane Spin while Bentley shoots electric darts while Murray flame punches, but the Heartless keep fighting back, but Ky uses Slide Dash and then delivers his final slash with his Keyblade and defeats the Heartless.
"Wow! That was AWESOME!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Ah didn't know y'all could fight like that." Applejack said.
"I'll admit. You guys aren't that bad." Twilight said.
"Thanks, but this isn't over. We gotta hurry." Ky said.
The group continue through the Everfree Forest, but just then, the blue ether slithers into a cliff below and causes a crash on the ground the group are on and everyone starts to slide off but Ky, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy are flying.
"Girls, help them!" Ky said, as he flies after them.
"C'mon!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Oh, my goodness." Fluttershy said as she follows the two.
Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy save Rarity and Pinkie Pie while Tails and Bentley manage to save Max, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, and Murray.
"Thanks." Kiyo said.
Applejack manages to hang on to a hanging root, but she sees Twilight sliding to an edge and tries to hold on.
"Hang on! Ah'ma comin'!" Applejack said, as she gets Twilight's front hooves.
"Applejack, what do I do?" Twilight asked.
"Let go." Applejack answered, shocking Twilight.
"Are you CRAZY?" Twilight asked.
"No I ain't. I promise you'll be safe." Applejack said.
"That's not true!" Twilight said.
"Listen here. What I'm sayin' to you is the honest truth. Just let go, and you'll be safe." Applejack said.
Twilight does what Applejack says and she falls and screams, but something gets her.
"I gotcha!" Ky said, getting Twilight.
Twilight then sees Applejack climbing down the cliff and Twilight smiles at Applejack's honesty.
"You okay?" Max asked.
"Yeah. C'mon." Ky said.
"Pests!" Bowser Jr. said and he sees the blue ether going to a manticore who roars.
The group keep moving through Everfree Forest while the group fight off against the Heartless that appear, but just then, they hear a roar and they see the manticore.
"Whoa!" T.J. said.
"What is that?" Blaze asked.
"It's a manticore. We have to get past it." Twilight said.
The manticore attacks the group and the ponies, but Ky casts Thunder, but the manticore dodges and attacks Ky, who dodges and tries to slash with his Keyblade, but Fluttershy gets between the two.
"Ky, wait!" Fluttershy said.
"Huh? Fluttershy, what're you..." Ky stops talking, as Fluttershy turns to the manticore and walks to it.
"It's okay." Fluttershy said, as she looks at its paw and it's shown to have a thorn stuck to it. "Oh, you poor little baby." Fluttershy said.
"Little?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"This will hurt a bit." Fluttershy said, as she takes the thorn, making it roar.
"FLUTTERSHY!" Everyone cried, but the manticore starts licking Fluttershy's mane while purring.
"Oh, you're just a cute little baby kitty, aren't you? Yes you are." Fluttershy said.
The group start to move past the manticore that's still licking Fluttershy's mane and Ky and Twilight stops.
"How did you know about the thorn?" Twilight asked.
"I didn't. Sometimes we just need to show a little kindness." Fluttershy answered.
"C'mon. Let's keep going." Ky said and the group keep going.
"GRRRR! I HATE those ponies! Do something else!" Bowser Jr. said and the blue ether moves through the air again.
The group keep moving through the forest and it's now getting dark.
"I'm not liking this forest now..." Zatch said.
"I can't see a thing!" Rainbow Dash said.
"Hold on." Tails said, as he uses his techno map to lighten the way.
"That's better. Let's keep..." Applejack stops talking, as she stops at a tree with an evil face scaring her.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Ky said and all the ponies scream at the evil faces of the trees.
"What now?" Shadow asked.
Just then, the group hear Pinkie Pie laughing at one of the faces.
"Pinkie? You think they're funny?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah I do. It's what Ky said, you have to face your fears. I do it by laughing! Give it a try!" Pinkie Pie said.
Ky looks at an evil face and starts laughing and the evil face vanishes.
"It's working! Guys, laugh!" Ky said.
The group and the ponies start laughing at the faces except Shadow.
"I don't do laughter." Shadow said.
"C'mon, Shadow! Turn that frown upside-down!" Pinkie Pie said.
"...I'll do it ONCE." Shadow said, as he small laughs at an evil face.
After laughing at all of the trees, the group move through the trees and keep moving through the forest.
"Stupid! Stupid! STUPID ponies ruining everything! Do BETTER!" Bowser Jr. yelled and the blue ether flies through the air again.
The group later arrive at a river, but they see the river flowing roughly.
"Great. Now how're we supposed to cross this?" Murray asked.
Just then, the group hear weeping and they see a purple sea serpent crying roughly.
"Oh, what a world. What a WORLD!" The sea serpent cried.
"Why are you crying?" Elena asked.
"I was just sitting here, minding my own business, but this tacky little cloud of smoke just whisked past me and has cut half of my beloved mustache CLEAN off. Now I'm hideous!" The sea serpent answered and cries again.
"Oh, you poor thing! You have such flawless scales, such a divine aquatic mane, and such a delicate manicure." Rarity said.
"I know. It is all so true!" The sea serpent said.
"All ruined without your beloved mustache!" Rarity said.
"I know! I'm UGLY!" The sea serpent cries once more.
"I cannot let this crime against such fabulosity go uncorrected! T.J., lend me your knife!" Rarity said.
"Okay." T.J. said, giving Rarity his knife and uses it to slash her tail, making everyone gasp.
"What did you do that for?" Twilight asked.
Rarity lifts her tail and gives it to the sea serpent's face, making a new half of mustache.
"MY MUSTACHE! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!" The sea serpent said.
"There. Now, you look smashing." Rarity said.
"Wow, Rarity. That was very generous of you." Ky said.
"Indeed. He needed it a lot more than I do." Rarity said.
"Pikachu!" Storm said.
"Look. The river's calm." Sly said.
"Now we can cross it." Max said.
"Allow me to be of assistance!" The sea serpent said, as he helps the group get across.
After crossing the river, the group keep going until they see some ruins up ahead.
"There it is. The ruins that hold the Elements of Harmony! We made it!" Twilight said.
"In that case, c'mon." Ky said, but just then, Heartless appear. "Scram!" Ky said as he slashes with his Keyblade, but as one Heartless is still alive and attacks, Twilight shoots a magic beam from her horn. "Thanks." Ky said.
"Let's hurry." Twilight said.
The group make their way to the castle ruins, but stop as they see a broken bridge.
"Crud." Murray said.
"Hey, Rainbow, make yourself useful and make a bridge!" Elena said.
"Fine, Miss Bossyhorn!" Rainbow Dash replied, as she flies down to the end of the broken bridge.
As Rainbow Dash starts to restore the bridge.
"Rainbow..." A voice said.
"Who's there?" Rainbow Dash demanded.
"Rainbow...we've been waiting for you." The voice said and Rainbow sees three Pegasus wearing black masks and suits with pony skulls on them.
"Who?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"You of course." The Pegasus leader said.
"Who're you?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"We are the Shadowbolts. We are the greatest flying team in the Everfree Forest. Soon, we will be the best flying team in ALL of Equestria. We need a captain and we think you're the best fit." The Shadowbolt leader said.
"Really? ME?!" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Of course." The Shadowbolt leader answered.
"Sign me up! Just let me tie this bridge and we got a deal." Rainbow Dash said.
"No! It's THEM or US!" The Shadowbolt leader said.
"What's taking so long?" Elena asked.
"Oh, no...Rainbow Dash! Don't listen to them!" Ky said.
"Well?" The Shadowbolt leader asked.
"You...thanks for the offer, but I'm gonna have to say no." Rainbow Dash said, as she ties the bridge and flies off.
The Shadowbolts disappear into the blue ether and Rainbow Dash has fixed the bridge.
"Nice choice you made." Elena said.
"Thanks. I'd never leave my friends hangin'." Rainbow Dash said.
(Castle of Two Sisters)
The group cross the bridge and they finally arrive at the castle ruins and they are now in the foyer room and see five stoned balls on different pedestals.
"Well, this is it. Is this what you've been looking for, Twilight?" Ky asked.
"The Elements of Harmony! We've found them!" Twilight said.
"We'll take 'em down." Rainbow Dash said, as she and Fluttershy take them down carefully.
"Wait. There's only five." T.J. said.
"You said there's a six, right? Where's the sixth?" Blaze asked.
"The book said 'When the five are present, a spark will cause the sixth Element to be revealed'." Twilight answered.
"What does that mean?" Max asked.
"I'm not sure, but I have an idea." Twilight said.
"In that case, we're gonna keep looking for the Keyhole in this castle." Ky said.
While Twilight is using her magic to make a spark on the five Elements, the blue ether appears in tornado form and tries to take the five Elements.
"No!" Twilight said, as she tries to take them back.
"Twilight!" Ky said, as he tries to help, but the two disappear into the ethereal tornado along with the Elements.
"Ky!" The group said.
"Twilight!" The ponies said.
"What happened?" Pinkie Pie asked.
"I dunno! We have to find them." Sly said.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said, pointing at a glow at a tower.
"That must be where they are!" Zatch said.
"C'mon, y'all!" Applejack said, as the ponies and the group follow the glow.
Meanwhile, Ky and Twilight get transported to a different room and they see the ethereal tornado, revealing to be Nightmare Moon again, who laughs evilly while standing on a pedestal where the five stoned balls are.
"You!" Ky said.
"We have to get the Elements!" Twilight said.
"She won't let us! I'm gonna have to take her on!" Ky said, taking out her Keyblade.
"That weapon...it's too familiar..." Nightmare Moon said.
"You know of the Keyblade?" Ky asked.
"A fool with that weapon challenged me. He was responsible for my imprisonment along with those wretched Elements!" Nightmare Moon said.
"Oh, I'll give you a better punishment!" Ky said.
"You're kidding. You're kidding, right? " Nightmare Moon scoffed.
"Shut up! I'll take you down!" Ky said.
"I'm gonna help you with this, Ky. We have to get to those Elements." Twilight said.
"We'll do that after we handle her." Ky said.
"Prepare yourselves, little foals!" Nightmare Moon said, as she attacks the two.
(Boss Theme: The Deep End)
Nightmare Moon shoots a black magic blast at Ky and Twilight, but the two dodge and Ky charges at Nightmare Moon and attacks her with his Keyblade followed by Thunder while Twilight shoots her own magic beam from her horn, but Nightmare Moon vanishes in blue either and then reappears and then fires her black magic beams again, but Ky casts Aero on himself and Twilight and then charges and uses Slide Dash and then attacks with his Keyblade followed by an upper slash.

"Fools! Know your place!" Nightmare Moon yelled, as she unleashes three black concussive blasts at the two.

Nightmare Moon vanishes again and then reappears to where Twilight is and attacks with her horn, but Twilight delivers a pony kick followed by a magic shot and then Ky dives down and delivers his edge slash with his Keyblade.
"You should quit while you can, Nightmare Moon!" Ky said.
"NEVER! You will BOW to my eternal night!" Nightmare Moon replied, as she transforms herself into blur ethereal disc.
Nightmare Moon's blue ethereal disc charges at Ky and Twilight, who dodge it, but the blue ethereal disc keeps charging at them until Nightmare Moon reverts back to herself and then unleashes more lightning strikes, but Ky charges at Nightmare Moon and attacks with his Keyblade followed by an upper slash, but Nightmare Moon recovers and flies away again.

Nightmare Moon casts her barrier and shoots her black magic shots that home on them, but Ky flies over Nightmare Moon and her barrier is shattered again, allowing Ky to attack with his Keyblade while Twilight shoots her magic blast.
"Insolent foals! You WILL know me as your Princess! Be destroyed!" Nightmare Moon yelled, as she shoots her black magic blasts, but Ky casts Aero on himself and Twilight and then casts Thunder on Nightmare Moon.
"We're not giving up!" Twilight said.
"Not until we restore peace to this land!" Ky said.
"Then you shall DIE in peace!" Nightmare Moon replied, as she unleashes her ethereal twister around the two again.

"We have to have just ONE spark!" Twilight said.
"C'mon!" Ky said.
"Oh, no you pests don't!" Bowser Jr. said, as he shoots a Bullet Bill at the two and knocks them back while Nightmare Moon warps herself back to the pedestal.
Just then, the five stoned balls start to glow.
"What?!" Bowser Jr. asked.
"No...NO!" Nightmare Moon said, but the glow of the five stoned balls cease, making Twilight gasp.
"But...where's the sixth Element?!" Twilight asked.
Nightmare Moon laughs evilly while stomping on the ground and shatters all of the stoned balls into pieces.
"You little foals! You believe you can defeat ME?! Now you'll NEVER see your Princess or your sun! The NIGHT shall last FOREVER!" Nightmare Moon said, as she laughs evilly again.
"Just face it, losers! This world is done!" Bowser Jr. said, as he laughs.
"No..." Ky said.
Just then, they start to hear voices.
"KY!" Elena's voice called.
"They gotta be in there!" Tails said.
"Don't worry, guys! We're here!" Pinkie Pie said.
"Don't worry, we'll be there!" Applejack said.
Upon hearing the voices, Twilight's eyes start to have the two white stars in them and she gasps upon realization.
"You think you can destroy the Elements of Harmony just like that?" Twilight asked.
"Heh. Guess what, Nightmare Moon, you're WRONG! The spirits of the Elements of Harmony are right HERE!" Ky said, showing Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash and the Ky's friends have arrived as well.
"What?!" Bowser Jr. asked.
"Applejack, who reassured me when I was in doubt, represents the spirit of...HONESTY!" Twilight said, as some pieces float around Applejack. "Fluttershy, who tamed the manticore with her compassion, represents the spirit of...KINDNESS!" Twilight said, as some pieces float around Fluttershy. "Pinkie Pie, who banished fear by giggling in the face of danger, represents the spirit of...LAUGHTER!" Twilight said, as some pieces float around Pinkie Pie. "Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent with a thoughtful gift, represents the spirit of...GENEROSITY!" Twilight said, as some pieces float around Rarity. "Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon her friends for her own heart's desire, represents the spirit of...LOYALTY!" Twilight said, as some pieces float around Rainbow Dash.
"That's it! The spirits of the five ponies got us through every challenge you threw at us!" Bentley said.
"But you still don't have the sixth Element!" Bowser Jr. said.
"The spark didn't work!" Nightmare Moon said.
"Oh, but it did...a DIFFERENT kind of spark! Right, Twilight?" Ky asked.
"Yes. I felt it at the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside ME when I realized that all of you...Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo, Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash...all of you are my FRIENDS!" Twilight said and just then, there is a bright light and a new stoned ball appears in the air.
"What?!" Bowser Jr. said.
"You see, when those Elements are ignited by the SPARK, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth Element: The Element of MAGIC!" Twilight said, as another bright light appears and now amulets have been created for the five ponies while a tiara is created for Twilight and as the ponies, Ky, and his friends are covered in light a shaking occurs.
"No...no..." Nightmare Moon then sees a rainbow coming out of the light and it goes down at Nightmare Moon. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Nightmare Moon shouted, as the rainbow covers her.
While the rainbow covers Nightmare Moon and is in a tornado fashion, the group are still covered in light until later on, another Light Crystal piece appears.
"Another Light Crystal piece! MINE!" Bowser Jr. said, as he hurries to the Light Crystal piece, but the light of the Elements pushes Bowser Jr. away. "What?! NO! I NEED it!" Bowser Jr. yelled, but the light was too strong and it successfully pushes Bowser Jr. away and out of the tower. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Bowser Jr. said, as he is pushed into the sky and a star is left behind as he leaves.
The group are still covered in light until later on, it vanishes and the group are now unconscious for a while until they start to regain consciousness.
"Awwwwww, my head..." T.J. said.
"Wow...that was intense." Murray said.
"Is everypony okay?" Applejack asked.
"Yeah. I think so." Tails said.
"Look!" Elena said, pointing at another Light Crystal piece.
"We found one and Jr. isn't even here." Ky said and takes it.
"That's the first one we got, though." Kiyo said.
"Oh, thank goodness!" Rarity said.
"Oh, Rarity, it's lovely." Fluttershy said.
"I know! I'll never part with it again!" Rarity said, looking at her newly grown tail.
"No, your necklace. It looks like your cutie mark." Fluttershy said.
Rarity looks at her new amulet and it has a violet diamond symbol that looks like her diamond cutie mark.
"Ooh. So does yours." Rarity said, looking at Fluttershy's new amulet that has a pink butterfly symbol that looks like her butterfly cutie mark.
"Look at mine! Look at mine!" Pinkie Pie said, showing the group her new amulet with a cyan balloon that looks like her balloon cutie mark.
"Aw, yeah!" Rainbow Dash said, looking at her new amulet that has a red lightning bolt symbol that looks like her lightning bolt cutie mark.
"Wow." Applejack said, looking at her new amulet that has an orange apple symbol that looks like her apple cutie mark.
"Huh. Those look amazing." Sly said.
"Look at you, Twilight!" Zatch said, pointing at Twilight's new tiara that has a magenta star that looks like Twilight's star cutie mark.
"Huh. I thought Twilight was spreading a lot of nonsense, but you ponies do in fact represent the Elements of Friendship." Elena said.
"Indeed they do." A voice said and the group turn to see a bright light revealing a white female alicorn with a flowing blue, green, cyan, and pink mane, flowing blue, green, cyan, and pink tail, wearing a gold amulet with a purple diamond, a gold crown, and has a sun on her flank.
Upon seeing the female white alicorn, the five ponies bow while Ky and his friends look at her in awe and amazement while Twilight smiles.
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight said, running to Celestia and hugs her.
"Twilight Sparkle, my faithful student. I knew you could do it." Celestia said.
"But...you told me this was just an old pony tale." Twilight said.
"I told you that you needed to make friends. Nothing more. I saw the signs of Nightmare Moon's return and I knew that it was you, who had the magic inside to defeat her, but you could not unleash it until you let true friendship into your heart. And it seems that the young Keybearer has helped you with that." Celestia said, looking at Ky.
"You...know about me?" Ky asked.
"Of course, Keyblade master Ky. I knew that not only Twilight would need to defeat Nightmare Moon, but another Keybearer would." Celestia said.
"Another...do you know someone who is known as...?" Ky was cut off by Celestia.
"The Keyblade Paragon of Light. Yes, I do. He's a wonderful friend of mine who tried to help Nightmare Moon and attempted to change her back. He even told me that one day, a new young Keyblade master would arrive to Equestria and restore peace to it. I thank you, Ky, for helping Twilight Sparkle understand about friendship." Celestia said.
"It was nothing, Princess." Ky said.
"Now, if only another will as well." Celestia then sees another alicorn that's pale black, has a light blue man, light blue tail, and has a crescent moon on her flank on the ground where Nightmare Moon was. "Princess Luna. It has been a thousand years since I have seen you like this. It is time to put our differences behind us. We were meant to rule this kingdom together, little sister." Celestia said.
"SISTER?!" Everyone asked shocked.
"Will you accept my friendship?" Celestia asked.
"I'm so sorry! I have missed you, big sister!" Luna said, crying and hugging Celestia.
"I have missed you too." Celestia said and also hugs Luna.
"Wow...even if someone's heart is corrupted by darkness, there is always hope for that person. Right, Nex?" Ky asked to himself.
Flashback:
"This world is nothing but a hellhole. Have you even noticed the crap I've had to deal with other people giving me? Have you noticed the way they treat me? Every time they look at me, they look either disgusted, angry, or frightened. What do I do when they treat me like that? I have to put up with it and not do anything. Guess what, Ky, I'm done with that crap now." Nex said.
"You...promised you wouldn't change! We all did!" Ky said.
"I lied. That, and I'm just adapting to what my heart really wants." Nex replied, smirking.
Flashback End.
"Nex, I WILL save you and we'll also reunite with Pax and Griff. I swear." Ky said in his mind.
"Ky? Are you okay?" Fluttershy asked, snapping Ky out of his thoughts.
"Huh? Yeah. I'm fine." Ky said.
"Are you sure? You're...crying." Elena said.
"It's just...I'm happy that these two get to reunite with each other." Ky said.
"We all are!" Pinkie Pie said.
Just then, Twilight's tiara and the five ponies' amulets start to glow and they unleash a rainbow beam at the wall of the room and another Keyhole has been revealed.
"That's another Keyhole!" Tails said.
"Ky..." Max stops talking.
"Yeah." Ky said, as he uses his Keyblade to seal the Keyhole and Equestria is now saved from the darkness.
"Thank you, Keybearer. You have sealed the Keyhole and saved all of Equestria." Celestia said.
"No problem, Princess." Ky said.
"Oh! You know what this calls for? A PARTY!" Pinkie Pie said.
Everyone is now back at Ponyville and all the ponies are cheering for Ky, Twilight, and everyone else for their victory and even Celestia and Luna have arrive and the ponies cheer for Luna, but during the party, Celestia sees Twilight looking down.
"Why so glum, my faithful student? Are you not happy that your quest is complete and you can return to your studies in Canterlot?" Celestia asked.
"That's just it. Just when I learned how wonderful it is to have friends, I have to leave them." Twilight said, looking at Ky, his friends, and the five ponies.
"Spike, take a letter." Celestia said and Spike takes out paper and a quill. "I, Princess Celestia, hereby decree that the unicorn, Twilight Sparkle shall take on a new mission. She must continue to study the magic of friendship. She must now report to me her findings from her new home, Ponyville." Celestia declared and the ponies cheer.
"Thank you, Princess Celestia! I promise, I'll study harder than ever before!" Twilight said.
Meanwhile in the dark room, Bowser. Jr returns to meet with the Horned King, who is now sitting on his throne.
"That brat Ky has that Light Crystal piece! I was THIS close to take it!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Fear not, Bowser Jr. He has not collected all of them. We shall take it from him soon enough. He still has not won yet." The Horned King said.
"Ky is still an annoyance. Somebody needs to end him already." Sasuke said.
"I agree. He must be dealt with!" Azula said.
"Patience. You will destroy him soon." The Horned King said.
Back at Ponyville, Ky tells Twilight and the ponies that they must leave.
"So now you have to leave, Ky?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah. The Black Xetis and the Heartless are still attacking others. I have to save them from the darkness." Ky answered.
"Aw. That's too bad." Fluttershy said.
"Well, if you must leave, we understand." Rarity said.
"Ya guys are gonna come back, right?" Rainbow Dash asked.
"Of course." Elena answered.
"That's good to hear. Y'all are welcome here anytime, ya hear?" Applejack said.
"I can't wait to see you guys again soon." Fluttershy said.
"When you guys get back, I'm gonna throw you guys a Welcome Back to Ponyville Party!" Pinkie Pie said.
"I do look forward to meeting you all again." Rarity said.
"When you get back, Ky, let's have another race." Rainbow Dash said.
"Sounds good. It's was great meeting you, Twilight." Ky said.
"You too, Ky. And thanks for helping me realize how important friendship is." Twilight said.
"We will all look forward to your return, Keybearer. Please, save all worlds from the darkness." Celestia said.
"We will." Ky said.
"Take care, everypony!" Elena said.
"Bye!" Max said.
"See you again sometime!" Tails said.
"We will not forget you." Blaze said.
"See you around." Shadow said.
"Pikachu!" Storm said.
"See ya!" Kiyo said.
"Can't wait to see you again!" Zatch said.
"Yoshi!" Lucky said.
"Next time, everypony!" T.J. said.
"You keep learning friendship, Twilight." Sly said.
"We'll meet again after the darkness is taken care of." Bentley said.
"I'm excited to meet you all again!" Murray said.
The group leave Ponyville and they arrive back at the plain area.
"C'mon. Another world awaits us." Ky said, as he uses his Keyblade to create another light portal.
"We're ready." Elena said and everyone nods.
"Let's get going." Max said.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, and Murray enter the light portal and they leave Equestria.
