Chapter 7
The Trinity Key
Twilight watched in horror as her new friend, Riku, was suddenly dragged into the dark sphere.
"Oh no, what's happening to him in there?" she thought, it was impossible to see. As she continued trying to look into the sphere, she noticed something about it… it was shrinking! "Oh no! That's what she meant by crushing him! She was going to do it literally!" She tried casting a fire spell again but it just bounced off. Suddenly, something zoomed past her. It was pink and yellow… "Fluttershy?" She cried in surprise. Sure enough, it was the yellow Pegasus zooming straight into the sphere.
The yellow mare in question was slow when flying towards the battle; she was never a great flyer in the first place. So she was much slower then Princess Celestia when trying to reach the group, but, as luck would have it, it allowed her to be completely out of range of the attack from Night Mare Moon.
"I can do it! I can do it! I can save him!" Fluttershy thought, she might not be as fast as Rainbow Dash but she truly believe she could at least get him out of there. Regrettably, a blast stopped her in her tracks.
"Foolish mare, did thou thinks we would not notice? Thou shall pay for thy ignorance of our power!" Night Mare Moon proclaimed as she casted another sphere, purple in color this time, and instead of throwing down on her instead it started firing a barrage of blasts.
"No!" Twilight yelled as she ran to Fluttershy. She wasn't sure what she was going to do, but she had an idea, "I hope this works! Please let it work!" Twilight thought, as she jumped in the path of the barrage shielding Fluttershy.
"Twilight!" Fluttershy cried surprised her friend was doing something so crazy. Twilight casted a spell, as her horn glowed its usual purple aura magic, she was able to create a shield.
A complete, round purple sphere surrounded both her and her Pegasus friend, shielding the blasts from hitting them. As the bolts rained down on them, Twilight was sweating bullets, the strain of keeping up her shield was very taxing, her head felt like it was on fire. Fluttershy could only keep her head down, trying to stay inside the shield.
"F-Fluttershy, you got to get back, I-I can't keep this up." Twilight struggled to speak.
"B-But Riku's going to get crushed in there!" Fluttershy squeaked.
"I-I know bu-but… I can't… I can't hold it up anymore. Aaaaaahhhh!" Twilight screamed as her shield shattered from the furious assault of bolts. Both the mares were blown back form the explosions of three remaining bolts. Fluttershy was dizzy, that blast really knocked her for a loop. She tried to spot Twilight, and when she did her face paled.
"No! Nooo! Twilight!" She cried. Twilight was a mess, she suffered burns all over, and she looked to be unconscious. The yellow mare quickly ran to her friend to help her up. "Twilight, I'm so sorry! I should have listened. I'm so sorry!" Fluttershy apologized, as tears formed in her eyes.
"Ahahahahaha! Now do thou see our power? Accept thy destiny and live in our Endless Night!" Night Mare Moon cackled, reveling in what appeared to be her glorious victory. Fluttershy's mind was streaming with thoughts of rage. Her new friend was being crushed like a squeeze toy, her other friends were all hurt badly, and her one best friend that brought them all together looked like she just went through a horrible hazing with torches. There was a lot she could stand… but as of now she could stand no more.
"How dare you." She whispered.
"Hm?" Night Mare Moon inquisitively hummed.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Fluttershy cried out. She flew straight at the dark royal mare, surprised at her sudden burst of speed, Night Mare was hit with a head butt from Fluttershy, who in turn afterwards, grabbed Night Mare's head with her hooves and faced Night Mare's eyes to her own. "Listen to me here, you. I don't care if you ARE a Princess or if you can use magic to blast crazy bolts or entrap some pony inside a magic sphere and make it shrink. Just because you're Night Mare Moon doesn't mean you can just boss other ponies like my friends around, and no pony, and I mean NO PONY hurts my friends! Got that?" Fluttershy calmly proclaimed as she gave Night Mare Moon, who right now is very silent and a bit shocked, the evil eye.
"H-How dare a simple pony tr-" Night Mare Moon started before Fluttershy interrupted her again.
"Don't you dare 'how dare you' me, missy." Fluttershy interrupted. Once again, Night Mare Moon was shocked at how she was being shown such disrespect. Meanwhile, Twilight was starting to wake up, her shield was luckily strong enough just enough to withstand most of the blast and was shaking her head of the slight disorientation of being flown back. She noticed the rest of her friends were still pretty injured and weren't in any shape to fight. Applejack, however, was still stuck in that tree in the dough though, unfortunately.
"Riku!" She thought she couldn't believe she nearly forgot about Riku and the shrinking sphere he was in. She quickly galloped over to where he was and tried to see if she could get him out. "M-Maybe I could try to teleport him out of there." Twilight Sparkle concentrated on her magic, should be simple… she's done it before with Spike and even Pinkie Pie weird as that was, considering the situation. She just hoped that the magic sphere that Night Mare Moon casted won't interfere. Twilight hoped this worked, and by Celestia, who is right now regaining consciousness, it did! Riku was somehow flashed out of that strange sphere and gasped for air, though she was a little unsure whether or not the sphere kept him from breathing or if he was just surprised.
"Riku, are you okay?" Twilight asked out of concern.
"Ye-yeah, thanks, Twilight, you really saved me there, I don't think I would've been in any shape to fight if I took a graviga spell head on." Riku replied. The spell in question seemed to have dispersed itself no longer having a target for it to damage.
"Graviga spell? What was it supposed to do?" Twilight asked.
"I'll tell you later. Right now, I think we should help Fluttershy out." Riku said to Twilight as his focus was on two certain winged mares.
"Fluttershy? Wh-Oh my gosh! Fluttershy!" Twilight cried in surprise and realization as she saw her friend practically having a staring contest against Night Mare Moon.
"Twilight Sparkle, Riku." Celestia called out albeit a little weakly, but loud enough to be heard.
"Princess ?" Twilight said. The purple unicorn and her silver colt friend ran to the white downed equine. "Princess, do you need help getting up? You'll be okay, Riku can help!" Twilight assured her ruler and mentor.
"No, the one who needs help right now is not me, but Princess Luna." Celestia started.
"I know Princess, but I'm afraid I can't seem to get into contact with her, she's just too fast for us." Riku told her.
"Now is your best chance, key bearer, while Fluttershy has her distracted, but the reason why I have called you both over here is to hear a request, please free my sister, from the darkness." Celestia asked. "I fear that the darkness is holding her captive, not taking her heart and using it in order the combat the Elements of Harmony that once defeated her before. You have to free her heart first before you can defeat her darkness." Celestia pleaded.
Riku and Twilight looked together not really sure what to do. Both of them were thinking of the same thing. How were they supposed to free her from the darkness? "Riku, isn't there something you could do with your keyblade?" Twilight asked. Riku shook his head he never really did something like that before normally it was Sora who drove the darkness away from individuals.
"Her eyes, it was practically pleading to be released like she was trapped in a cage." Celestia spoke, remembering how her sister's eyes were so pleading when they crossed horns.
"Caged? Like locked in?" Riku thought, that's when he remembered… It was three years ago when he became possessed by Ansem when he summoned a dark keyblade, allowing him to control and unlock the hearts of others. "No! I can't do something like that again! It's too wrong!" He thought. "I have to… I have to figure out a way to free her without giving in to the darkness again." As Riku pondered, he thoughts had left to his friends who have left in the gummi ship… hoping they would make it in time.
In a small island, floating in the middle of the darkness, sits a tower, slightly crooked and seemingly only three floors tall. However, if one were to traverse inside one would find themselves walking up stairs to the equivalent of five floors. At the top of the tower was an old elderly man, in blue robes, wearing a pointed hat that had stars decorating it, with eyes showing wisdom that matched his age, and a small mouse-like being, in a outfit of red, was pacing back and forth impatiently.
In a squeaky voice, the mouse-like creature spoke, "Donald and Goofy should be here by now with Sora and Riku, I wonder what's taking them so long?" he had a worried look on his face.
"Patience, Mickey, they will be here when they can, I'm sure it was just a slight delay from the Heartless, nothing they cannot handle." spoke the Wiseman, his voice held a comforting tone.
"I suppose you're right, Master Yen Sid, I'm just anxious because of Xehanort's return… we just don't know what's he planning." Mickey said as he crossed his arms.
"It seem as though we no longer need to wait." Yen Sid replied, as he looked out his star shaped window.
There a ship appeared, beaming down a bluish light, appearing two particular individuals, "Come on, Goofy, we gotta hurry!" Donald quacked loudly and hurried with haste he waddled to the door of the tower.
"Gwarsh, wait up Donald!" Goofy cried after his fowl friend as he followed. As the duo reached the top of the tower they burst in through the door,
"Your Majesty! Master yen Sid!" The two cried out.
"Donald! Goofy! Good to see you two made it! But where's Sora and Riku? Didn't you guys pick them up?" Micky asked. The duo looked to each other and gave Mickey a frown.
"Perhaps you should explain to us what happened?" Yen Sid spoke, he had a serious face as though expecting possibly the worse news. The duo nodded and began their tale.
Back in the clearing in Equestria, Night Mare Moon was still being confronted by Fluttershy, who was really giving Night Mare a hard time as she acted very aggressive. Riku and Twilight were still with Celestia trying to plan on how to save Luna from her current state.
"Riku, are you sure you don't have form of magic that could reverse what that other pony did to Princess Luna?" Twilight asked, hopeful for an answer she liked.
"I-I don't know, I… I do know there is a method to unlock the potential of one's heart but… I… I can't do that." Riku said looking down.
"What's the method? Maybe I could try to copy it with my magic." Twilight explained.
"No… it's something a keyblade can do." Riku told her,
"Then you can do it! You just need to try!" Twilight encouraged.
"I-I can't." Riku disagreed.
"If you don't try you won't know right? If it works we could save Princess Luna!" Twilight cried.
"I-I can't Twilight… that method… I would have to use the darkness. It's an ability that dark key bearers use."
"What? Wait, how do you know that?" Twilight asked, shocked to hear of the origin of this ability.
"Because… because what Princess Celestia said was true, I did fall to the darkness… I used to have a dark keyblade before." Riku told her with his face down, unable to meet her gaze. "But I'm not part of the darkness anymore, my friend, Sora, saved me, he helped me find the light again." Riku told her. Then as if a light bulb had clicked he remembered something. Didn't this happen before? He remembered the time he was possessed by Ansem it was practically the same thing.
The light of Kingdom Hearts, the light… "can drive away the darkness." He whispered.
"Riku?" Twilight asked, shocked to have discovered such a huge secret even in Riku's life, but worried when he suddenly went quiet.
"Twilight, I think I just realized how we can save Princess Luna." Riku said as he looked to Twilight. "But we're going to need light. Very bright light" he finished.
"What? Light? How is light going to help us save Princess Luna?" Twilight asked confused. "I know she's been taken over by the darkness, but I don't think if we shine light on her, it's just going to disappear like a shadow." She replied a little agitated.
"No, I mean light like from my keyblade." Riku retorted.
"Oh." Twilight sheepishly said. "You mean like what you did when we first met?"
"Yes, I'm hoping the light I shine on her will drive the darkness away. But I'm going to need your help I need you to keep her busy." Riku told her. Twilight looked to Riku, and nodded.
"Alright, but you're sure this is going to work?" She asked him.
"I know it will." He assured her. "At least I hope so." He thought. The two then sped off to where Night Mare Moon and Fluttershy were to begin again the battle for Equestria.
Back at the mysterious tower, Donald and Goofy had just finished their story of what had happened so far.
"This is very grave news." Yen Sid said at the end of their tale.
"That's horrible! We have to head over there right away to save them!" Mickey shouted in an outrage over the events that transpired. The duo nodded agreeing with their king.
"Master Yen Sid, you could do something to help them right?" Donald quacked hopeful. Yen Sid looked to Donald and nodded. He stood from his chair and went to the middle of the room. He began to chant a spell that created a dark blue misty cloud. Within the cloud, an image was appearing. As the image cleared, it was of a clearing in a large forest. With several four-leg creatures in it, fighting against a single dark one.
"There they are!" Donald quacked!
"Gwarsh! What happened? We weren't gone for that long, were we?" Goofy said. As they stared into the image, they noticed most of the other ponies weren't getting up, they were moving but weren't able to stand.
"Wait, where's Riku? I don't see him." Mickey said.
"There he is!" Donald quacked excitedly, as he pointed to the silver grey pony, who by the way was running at Night Mare Moon and Fluttershy with Twilight following closely.
As Yen Sid observed he took noticed upon their foe, Night Mare Moon. As he stared at the dark mare he spoke. "The Darkness in that one… it has not taken her heart."
The three turned to him wondering what he meant, Mickey spoke first. "What do you mean?"
"Her heart." Yen Sid said as he pointed to Night Mare. "It has not been taken by the darkness." Stroking his beard he began to wonder. "The darkness seems to have taken over the body instead of the heart… like a Heartless Nobody." He thought.
He then noticed Riku and the purple unicorn rushing up to the dark mare that was being confronted by a yellow Pegasus, apparently the smaller equine was scolding the larger dark one. It was quite an awkward sight. However, the dark mare had regained her composure and her horn began to glow a dark blue aura. She released a spell, a bolt of magic upon Fluttershy who had ducked her head and with a very angry face, said something to the larger equine and rammed her head to hers. As the two mares butted heads, Riku and the unicorn was only a few feet away from them as the colt brought up his keyblade.
He summoned pillars of light as they blasted from the key's end, shot toward the sky. A second later, beams of bright light showered not just over the field but smashed right onto Night Mare Moon, who screamed in pain. As the last beam of light hit, a ring-like explosion of light burst from the key's end, sweeping up Night Mare Moon. Twilight had ran to Fluttershy and jumped to tackle her to keep her down from the expanding light. As the light faded, Twilight and Fluttershy looked to see a sight that shocked them to their very core. It was Night Mare Moon… or Princess Luna… they couldn't tell. Night Mare Moon's form was shattered; parts of her seemed to crumble like a clay mask that was hit with a hammer. The crumbled broken parts showed a scared certain royal Princess as if the form Night Mare Moon was a large stone mask trying to imprison her. Though in just moments, the crumbled form completely covered her again… She was completely healed of any injury.
"Oh my gosh!" Mickey cried in surprise. "Just what is happening there? How in the world did that happen?"
"It would seem, the darkness has taken a new form." Yen Sid said in a grave voice.
"New form? What do you mean? Do you know something Master Yen Sid?" Mickey asked his mentor.
"I am unsure, my old friend. However, if I were to make a guess, this may be a new form of Heartless." Yen Sid spoke.
"A new form of Heartless?" The three anthropomorphic pals shouted in shock.
Yen Sid nodded. "Yes, I'll explain, but, for now, we should help our troubled friend for now." He said, then he waved his hand, the image focused on Riku, and Yen Sid started talking.
Night Mare Moon was shocked, aghast at such display of disrespect to her. However, after a few more moments of scolding from Fluttershy, she had regained her composure, she was no common pony. She was Equestrian Royalty, a goddess even! How dare this Pegasus lecture her on how to behave? With a look of anger on her face, Night Mare's horn glowed blasting a bolt of magic at her, Fluttershy though saw it coming and ducked.
Then with a look of anger on her own face she said. "If my voice of reason you resist, then through force I'll desist!" With that, Fluttershy rammed her head into Night Mare Moon, who honestly didn't expect that and was given a headache of major proportions. As this happened, Riku ran along with Twilight to try something. He knew his keyblade could shoot off a light that could drive away darkness. He's done it before, so that's what he was counting on. As he got close enough and upon seeing Night Mare getting dazed, he spoke muffled by the handle of the keyblade.
"Twilight, get Fluttershy down!" He pointed his keyblade upward and summoned pillars of light as they blasted from the key's end, shot toward the sky. Seconds later, beams of bright light showered not just over the field but smashed unto Night Mare Moon, who screamed in pain. As the last beam of light hit, a ring-like explosion of light burst from the key's end sweeping up Night Mare Moon. Twilight had ran to Fluttershy and jumped to tackle her to keep her down from the expanding light.
As the light had faded, they saw a horrible sight, it was Night Mare Moon's body it had cracks and pieces of it falling like a broken jar. And as though she was a prisoner inside, it was Princess Luna… her eyes, scared, wondering what was going on, and with a grunt, the pieces that fell off turn into a black mist and covered up the missing areas, restoring her back to normal. Riku's plan had failed. Night Mare Moon seemed to be impossible to stop. Riku sweated, that was probably the only thing he knew he could stop her, worse yet, he just found out Princess Luna was alright, but she was being held captive inside of herself literally, that form of Night Mare Moon was just a prison to use her powers. This was definitely different from the time Ansem possessed him. "How can I stop her, if my greatest attacks won't even hurt her?" he thought, but… just then… he started to hear a voice.
Inside the Mysterious tower, Yen Sid began to speak into the image. "Riku, can you hear me Riku?" Yen Sid asked.
"Master Yen Sid?" The image spoke, "Is that really you Master Yen Sid! Where are you? Are you nearby? I really need your help right now!" Riku cried.
"He can hear us, Master Yen Sid?" Mickey asked the wiseman, who nodded to affirmed.
"Mickey? Is that you?" Riku cried in shock. "Are you there too? Then Donald and Goofy made it then?" He suddenly asked.
"We're here, Riku! We're talking to you through Master Yen Sid's magic!" Donald quacked.
"Donald and Goofy have filled us in on what's happened. I also saw what happened to you with that dark creature." Yen Sid told the human turned equine.
"You did? How? Wait, better question, how do I save her? She was taken over by the darkness. Some guy name Vanitas blasted her with a dark bolt and she became like this!"
"Vanitas!" Yen Sid thought, "I didn't think I would hear that name for a long time." Yen Sid remembered that name it was the name of the dark half of the poor boy Ventus, whose darkness in his heart was ripped away, leaving only the light half, his memories were lost to him as well as the darkness. This, however, caused him to wonder,
"Was Xehanort somehow behind this as well?" He looked back to the cloud image of Riku and spoke again. "Riku, listen to me closely, the darkness enclosing that pony has not taken her heart, instead it's taken over her body, trying to morph it. I suspect it is a method to decrease the power of your light, by using the light source of her heart untouched by the darkness to defend it." Riku's lower jaw dropped before quickly closing it again.
"Wh-What do I do? How am I going to stop her much less save her if my keyblade isn't effective anymore?" He said.
"I'm afraid there isn't much you can do." Yen Sid gravely. "The keyblade can only free the hearts of those captured by the Heartless if the heartless was destroyed. However, in the case of your foe, I am afraid it is not her heart that was taken over but her body, it's finding a way to wrap itself around her to create the image you see now, by tapping into her deepest darkness. She fears that image." Yen Sid closed is eyes to contemplate before continuing. "I believe possibly the only way to save her… would be to forge a connection, a type of bond. You must find the path to her heart and with your key unlock the door that hides the road."
"But what does that mean?" Riku asked. To Twilight, and Fluttershy though, it seemed like he was just talking to himself.
"Why is Riku talking to himself?" Fluttershy asked Twilight.
"I-I don't know. I think he said he was talking to somepony named Yen Sid." Twilight answered as they both stared at Riku talking to himself. "I think I heard him mention that name before though, who was this Yen Sid?" she thought. The two mares pondered what Riku was doing, and they weren't the only one. Night Mare Moon had regained her composure after that sudden recovery and noticed the grey pony was talking to himself for some reason. Wondering whether or not he had gone crazy after realizing how futile their attempts were. As for Riku, he was thinking, he had no idea what that meant making a connection? How?
Night Mare Moon however, decided that now would be the best time to speak, "Has finally thou realized thy efforts are useless?"
"It's not useless!" Twilight shouted at her. "We'll stop you and then stop your endless night!"
"That's right!" Fluttershy interjected. "And we'll do it standing together, because we have unbreakable bond with each other!" At that moment something strange had happened. Twilight Sparkle's tiara and Fluttershy's necklace began to shine.
"Wh-What's going on?" Twilight stuttered,
"Twilight! Fluttershy! What's happening?" Riku shouted.
"I… I don't know!" Twilight yelled back.
"T-Twilight I'm scared." Fluttershy stammered as she looked down onto her Element of Harmony.
"Why are they glowing?" Riku thought. As he stared at the glowing accessories on the two ponies, he noticed something. There was a faint thin line of light beaming and aiming to his keyblade coming from their necklaces.
"What's going on?" Riku thought, "Why are their elements reacting to my keyblade now?" As he continued, pondering his keyblade shot out a light from its end split into two beams of light. As they split, they aimed to both Twilight's tiara's largest crystal, and the other hit Fluttershy's middle crystal, the one shaped as a butterfly.
"Now what's happening?" Twilight cried.
"I don't like this!" Fluttershy cried and then they suddenly flashed into light, and were retracted into the end of the Riku's Keyblade, which in turn began to glow.
"Wh-What is this?" He stammered.
"Aaaaggh, that light! That accursed light!" Night Mare Moon growled. As she hid her eyes from the light with her wings. As the light completely enveloped Riku's keyblade, the form of it began to change, then with brilliant brighter flash, it stopped, and the keyblade had completely changed in form.
The keyblade's shape was completely different from its usual form. The blade end of the keyblade still resembled a wing, but it was yellow in color, top end of the key where the teeth should be are largely shaped feathers that went smaller as it went down, the hilt itself was shaped like Twilight Sparkle's tiara it even had the Cutie Mark she had, except in the middle where the handle was, the shape was strange it resembled a purple unicorn's horn, continuing down one could see the normal chain in the middle, surprisingly enough it was actually the same form as Riku's Way to the Dawn keyblade, however by the bottom side of the hilt guard's sides were dangling two extra chains, one was literally a keychain variant of Twilight Sparkle's cutie Mark, the other resembled Fluttershy's butterfly cutie Mark.
That wasn't all, as Riku saw on the hilt, something resembling Fluttershy's necklace was wrapped around the upper hilt, it even had her butterfly Cutie Mark, it was rather large, it seemed to resemble a little of the hand guard of a sword. It curved around into the shape of a clasp to hold onto something. The three different key chains also had something similar but the clasps were on their sides as if like a puzzle they were meant to be put together. As Riku stared at it, he was in awe, the keyblade's shape was a completely new thing, he saw Sora switching out his keyblade's form by switching the chain and even using the Form Synch to suddenly call out a second keyblade, but he never saw something like this!
"Riku? Riku what's happening?" Riku heard Twilight's voice yet as he looked around he could find her.
"Twilight? Where are you?" Riku shouted.
"Twilight? Riku? What's happening? It's all bright where I am!" Riku heard Fluttershy this time,
"Fluttershy? I can you hear but I can't see where you guys are where are you?" Riku asked.
"I-I don't know, but I think I might be in the same place as Fluttershy it's all warm and bright where I am… it's actually comforting." Twilight said,
"Yeah, that's what I felt too! It's all nice and warm, it's giving me a fuzzy feeling." Fluttershy agreed.
"I'm glad you two are alright but that doesn't help tell me where you guys are" Riku said.
In the mysterious tower, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy were in shock.
"What just happened?" Donald quacked loudly.
"Gwarsh, search me! I don't even know what's going on anymore!" Goofy said scratching his head.
"Those two ponies were beamed into Riku's keyblade!" Mickey said. Yen Sid nodded, and even further surprising the three friends, he had a wide smile on his face. "Master Yen Sid?" Mickey asked in a inquisitive voice. "Do you know exactly what happened?"
Once again Yen Sid nodded closing his eyes as he did opening them again before speaking. "He was able to forge a connection, a connection that bounded the hearts of those two, to his key." He said, as the three listened to him, the Riku in the image was shouting something at Night Mare Moon, while Master Yen Sid had continued his explanation, "Riku had just performed a variation of Sora's own Form Synch that he learned when he first came to visit my tower." He said while stroking his beard. "This form however is a different type of Synch, known as Chain Link."
"Chain Link?" Mickey asked his old friend.
Nodding again Yen Sid explained further. "Yes, Chain Link, it allows a key bearer to forge a bond with those that share a connection between hearts, to create a new kind of keyblade. A keyblade known as… Trinity Soul. A keyblade forged from the hearts of three individuals their strengths becoming one." He finished.
"Wooow." Three said in awe at once."
Yen Sid turned to Riku in the image. "Did you get all that Riku? Your friends are in your keyblade, they are lending their strength to you now." He spoke.
"Oh my gosh! Is that the Master Yen Sid you were talking to before Riku?" Twilight Asked.
"You can hear him, Twilight?" Riku asked.
"I could hear him too, he sounds really nice, like a kind and gentle grandpa." Fluttershy said.
"We heard you loud and clear Master Yen Sid, I think I know what you mean now by creating a connection." Riku replied. "Come on girls we got a world to save, and a Princess to rescue." Riku said with the utmost confidence.
"Right!" both Twilight and Fluttershy agreed. Riku was smiling as he grasped onto the keyblade with his mouth, he knew for sure this time. Things were going to be alright, "Night Mare Moon better watch out!" He thought. "Because the tides have turned!"
