"Wow, talk about a cliff-hanger!" Pinkie said, still holding onto Twilight. The purple unicorn accidently let go of Fluttershy, but she was flapping her wings, and holding Applejack, who grabbed a hold of Doodledraw. AJ said, "I think I'll try to toss DD up to the top! That way, 'shy only has to hoist me up!"

"No! We can't do that!" DD said nervously.

"She's right," Twi agreed. "It's too dangerous. She could hurt herself on the rocks here. Fluttershy, you need to bring the two up, gently." The yellow Pegasus nodded, and tried to pull the two up. She sighed, but caught her second wind when she knew how important this mission was.

Pinkie quickly pulled up Twilight and Fluttershy brought up the other two ponies. They all gave a sigh of relief as they saw they were all safe, and then walked into the cave, a bit scared, but they all tried to stay brave. The crown guided them as it beeps echoed through the cave. They soon found themselves at a dead-end, but somepony was already there.

It was a dark purple unicorn with a light blue short mane. She was wearing a pair of black overalls, but they didn't obscure her cutie mark, three connected crystals. DD gasped when she saw her, and exclaimed, "Lapis Loopy!"

"Doodledraw!" The purple pony noticed her friend and hugged her. The unicorn explained, "I'm trying to get back into this abandoned mine so I can find some rare crystals. Your friend Rarity likes this kind of thing right?" Twilight asked, "Do you have a pick to chip away at the rocks?"

"I thought it'd be dangerous."

"Um…then you have a jackhammer to chip away at them?"

"That's more dangerous than the pickaxe!"

"Some sort of other power tool, then?"

"Nope," she stated, and went right back to investigating the cave-in that made the dead end. Doodledraw whispered to Twi, "Don't worry, Lapis may seem a bit crazy, but she usually knows the best way out of a situation." After much time of studying all the rocks, she picked up a small pebble from the wall. DD's best friend laughed, "That's how you're going to get back into the mi—!"

The rest of the rocks soon collapsed, and Lapis explained, "That pebble was holding the most weight, meaning if I took it out, most of the rocks surrounding it would collapse." Twi's crown started to glow, and the ethereal voice spoke again. "Lapis Loopy, who can find the best ways out of tough situations, represents the Element of Cleverness!" A beam of light shot was shot at her neck, and it formed a perfect necklace of her blue cutie mark on her neck.

"Uh, Doodledraw, care to explain this?" Lapis Loopy asked, the crown powering down and beeping again. DD replied, "We'll explain everything on the way down." Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "Hey, look, a tunnel!" Just past the fallen wall of rocks, there was a passage to the outside world. They all followed it, while Doodledraw explained the situation to Lapis.

"Wow," Lapis said after getting the boatload of information down. "So, I'm an Element of Harmony now? Awesome! I get to fight monsters instead of being stuck in the mines all day!" DD scoffed, "Better you than me, sister."

"Alright," Twilight said once they got to the foot of the mountain, "the crown is beeping in the direction of Baltimare, so I think we should go there next." The group of six headed towards the bustling city of Baltimare, and stopped at a local restaurant for a quick bite to eat. They all traced the beeping to a dance club, and AJ told Lapis to "stay outside." She did, and the five ponies all came inside. The crown stopped beeping when Twilight placed her eyes on a black unicorn stallion with a neon green mane and rainbow tail.

"Looks like that's the guy," the purple unicorn said. They all walked over to the black stallion, and Pinkie tapped him on the shoulder. The black unicorn turned around and asked, "W-who're you?"

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie, and I-!" the party pony was pushed out of the way by DD, who continued, "Think I'll take it from here. My friends and I are from CanterlotCastle and were wondering if you'd like a free tour of the place?"

"DD, be honest with the stallion," her best friend scolded. "We need your help to save Princess Celestia. She's dying and only a group of hidden Elements can save us. According to my crown, you're one of them. Will you help us?" The stallion was quick to answer, "Yeah, sure thing! Do I get a place to stay and a tour of the castle?"

"You…trust us? Just random strangers?" Twi questioned. "I don't under-!" Her crown started to glow and caused a scene, the ethereal voice stating, "Mike, who has faith in everypony, represents the Element of Trust!" A beam of light gave him a necklace with a green gem to match is cutie mark. DD laughed, "That explains it."

The unicorn stallion looked at his new necklace in confusion. He stammered, "W-what…? Oh great, this is going to be really weird. Meet me outside, I guess, and bring your crew with you. I'll get to know you all out there." He teleported to out-front of the club and sat next to Lapis Loopy.

"I didn't know anyone could do that but me," the unicorn with the crown said a bit in awe. "Oh, well." She then teleported all her friends to meet up with the stallion and Lapis. Pinkie told him, "Alright, pack your bags, we're going to Canterlot!" Seeing the sun setting in the distance, Twi whimpered, "Oh, we don't have much time!" Inexplicably, she teleported them all the way to Ponyville, a good eight hours away from where they once were.

The unicorn stallion looked around at his location and exclaimed, "What?! I need to pack and tell my friends and family where I'm goin'! Where are we, even? I…I'm so confused." Twilight answered, "We're in Ponyville, near Canterlot. Hold on one second…." While she checked her crown for a new destination, the hot pink pony leaned over at the black stallion and greeted, "Hey, I'm Doodledraw."

"Hello there," the stallion greeted back, "I'm Mike. It's a pleasure to meet you." Twilight turned back to the group and groaned, "Ugh, the crown's not giving me a new location."

"Maybe we should go to CanterlotCastle, then?" Fluttershy suggested.

"No, we still need to find the last extra Element: Confidence!" Suddenly, Spike ran out of the library, noticing Twi and the rest of the group, and said, "Guys! I got a letter from Princess Luna! She says that the sickness she has has gotten way worse, and she needs you to come with the Elements immediately!"

"Alright girls," she sighed, "more important business than finding the last Element has arisen. We need to head to Canterlot, again!" The seven ponies, and Spike, all headed down the dirt path that lead to CanterlotCastle.

They all came to CanterlotCastle, and found Rainbow Dash, Big Macintosh, and Rarity waiting for them. RD explained when they got there, "I didn't know how long it would take you, so Luna got the Elements out of the vault and I brought Rarity over from the boutique."

"I heard about the royal sisters' horrible condition," Rarity added, "and decided to help any way I can." She asked Twilight, "Is there anything we can do to cure it?"

"I don't know," the purple unicorn answered, opening the doors to Celestia's bedroom, "but the Elements seem like the cure." They all looked at the two sisters sitting on the bed in horror. Both looked faded of color and life, and their manes weren't flowing, but were messy and looked like real hair strands. The blue Pegasus handed the original Elements their necklaces, and Twilight tried to activate them along with the three additional Elements.

….but she couldn't. Twi sighed, "Without the last extra Element, Confidence, we can't activate these to save the princesses!" They all hung their heads, knowing very well what would happen next….until Doodledraw raised her head up first and said, "No." Drawing in everypony's attention, she told them all, "We may not be able to save the princesses, but we can rule Equestria as the Elements of Harmony. This will not result in chaos! Twi, you're Princess Celestia's most faithful student. If she were to die, she would want you to take the throne. But if she will die or not, harmony and friendship will always prevail!"

Everypony clopped for her impressive speech. Suddenly, Twilight's crown floated off her head and glowed again. It said, "Doodledraw, who supports her friends in the darkest of moments and pushes them on, represents the Element of Confidence!" A necklace appeared on her of a yellow gem that was shaped like the pencil on her cutie mark with a beam of light, and the crown fell back on Twilight's head.

"DD!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed, "I can't believe it was you all along! That's why the crown didn't beep! She was right in front of us the whole time!" DD stuttered, "B-but I don't want to be an Element of Harmony!" The purple unicorn wearing the crown stated, "We don't choose what path we take. Do you really think I wanted to make friends? But then I found out how much magic is in having them."

Twilight then turned to the two dying allicorns and announced, "Alright, girls, let's restore these royals!" Just as she tried to activate the spell, Fire Twilight, her loyal coltfriend came in. He said, "Twilight! I heard you were here!"

"Why did you come here!?" Rainbow Dash asked, half-angry from him interrupting the spell. He answered, "I came to support my fillyfriend in all that she does." Fire put his hooves around his fillyfriend, and she hugged him back. As Twilight and Fire embraced in the hug, her horn and crown started to glow. The Elements of Harmony, all of them and Fire Twilight, levitated off the ground, Fluttershy asking, "What's happening?" Before they knew it, Fire and Twilight's eyes glowed with white light, the necklaces were activated, and the whole room was bathed in white light as the sun set.

The four new Elements woke up next to the five Elements of Harmony. Doodledraw was the first to look around, and gasp, "Twilight and Fire Twilight! They're gone!" Fluttershy, looking at the two allicorns still lying on the bed, asked, "Did we save them? Did it work?" Pinkie Pie noticed a bright light coming over the horizon and exclaimed, "Look! The sun's rising up from the…west?"

"Yeah, it was based on one of my dad's songs," somepony answered, not giving the ponies in the room time to jump to conclusions. The owner of the voice, a yellow allicorn with a light blue mane, teleported into the room with another allicorn, who was purple and had a long, navy blue mane. They almost looked like…

"Twilight! Fire!" The other Elements exclaimed, recognizing them immediately. They all gathered around the two allicorns and gave them a group hug, which pretty much meant hugging their legs due to their taller height. Twilight started, "We awoke to find ourselves turned into allicorns by the Elements' magic. We didn't know how to explain it…"

"…until we found that Celestia and Luna were dead," Fire Twilight continued. "I know it sounds bad, but this is what they would've wanted. Celestia would've especially wanted Twilight to carry on the royal legacy." Twilight blushed at his words and stated, "I guess you can call us Princess Twilight and Prince Fire now." They all bowed at the hooves of their new rulers.

Pinkie Pie was the first to get up and ask, "You know what this calls for? A party!" And indeed, there was a feast and all of Canterlot and the rest of Equestria was invited that night. There, Twilight announced that she would lower and raise the moon, and Fire Twilight would raise and lower the sun.

Fire Twilight also announced that he would officially change his last name to "Dawn" because of his new title as Prince of the Sun. He also stated, at the end of a speech, "Under our rule, there will be no devastation, mayhem, or chaos we can't handle!" The crowd cheered, but just outside the castle, trouble was brewing.

A few ponies had gathered around in the CanterlotSculptureGarden. There were many statues representing many things, but one stood out from all of those. Now, the subject of this sculpture seemed to be in fear, almost as if he didn't want his sculpture made.

Under that statue that night, a group of friends had gathered. That night, they came as friends, and anyone who knew them knew that nothing broke their friendship apart. However, they left the garden insulting one another and fighting until they were black and blue. Little did anypony know, but the statue gained a crack just under its eye.

Au contraire, ma nouvelle princesse…
