Chapter 3 – Battle, Rescue and Transformation

Twilight, Cat and the others were approaching the first cliff as they were getting closer and closer to Galloping Gorge. Twilight spoke to Apple Bloom.

"I forgot to mention, since you gained your cutie mark and took time to build the raft. You represented one of the New Elements of Harmony, the spirit of patience."

"Wow, I never thought I would represent an element. When do I get the necklace like my sis has?"

"It will happen when we find the gems in Malice's castle." She and Apple Bloom bumped into each other. The others stopped in their tracks. A familiar shadow came towards them. It was Sludge.

"Sludge, did you find our friends?" asked Cat. Sludge played a little show with puppets. She had puppets of the Mane 5 and then had one piece of cardboard shaped like a barred window and put it in front of them.

"I get it. Malice and Chrysalis have Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity in the castle dungeon." replied Trixie, quickly answering the puppet play.

"We better hurry." added Flash, until they heard a fleet of buzzing noises. Scootaloo pointed up towards the sky.

"It's the changeling army!" she cried.

"They flying in to attack, this is our greatest obstacle yet!" commanded Twilight. The Changeling Army flew towards them like an angry swarm of parasprites. The group started to kick and punch the army, but they were too quick. They formed a circle around them.

"We're surrounded, what do we do?" asked Spike.

"We got to get to our friends!" replied Twilight.

"She's right we will never give up!" added Discord. "Let's get them!" After a roar of charge, they went into battle. Twilight ran towards a group of them. One of the changelings grabbed her. Then Flash swooped in front of her.

"If you want to hurt Twilight you'll have to go through me." He warned. Twilight beamed with happiness and love as her love for Flash grew stronger. He ran and charged right into them. And then he kicked with his hind legs.

"Thanks Flash." She said bravely.

"I'll never let anyone hurt you after the way you asked me to join on your adventures." Twilight blushed. "Go help the others."

"Right." She was running to help the others. Then she heard Spike calling for help. "Hang on Spike. I'm coming." She flew and landed in front of him. "Hey back off!" she growled. They walked towards her and she started to walk back, but unfortunately for her she wasn't looking back and she lost her footing over the cliff edge.

"Heeeellllllpppp!" she cried. She tried to flap her wings but she couldn't. She screamed again. Discord turned round.

"Twilight! No!" he gasped. He flew towards the cliff. The others were shocked.

"Discord wait!" cried Sweetie Belle. He flew over the cliff face. Twilight was still falling and her eyes were closed. Then she was caught by something and she slowly opened her eyes.

"I've got you Princess," said Discord.

"Discord, you saved my life. But why?"

"As Fluttershy said when she befriended me, because that's what friends do." Twilight smiled, and he smiled back. They flew back into view, to the others' relief. They stood side by side and continued the battle. After a while, the Changeling Army decided to retreat back to Malice's castle and they flew off.

"Way to go guys!" cheered Trixie.

"Discord, I am proud to call you my friend," said Twilight kindly and she hugged him close. "Thank you." Discord had tears running down his eyes and he closed them.

"Me too, Twilight Sparkle."

"So did we gain more elements?" asked Scootaloo.

"We sure did. Discord has the spirit of bravery, and Flash has the spirit of heroism," replied Twilight.

"So that makes three," added Cat, "We can find the others in no tim- ahhhhhhhh!" Then a thundering voice boomed inside her mind and she screamed.

"Cat, what's wrong?" asked Spike.

"No one will be a friend with you, no one!" Sludge did a puppet act again, acting out what was wrong with Cat.

"Sludge is saying Malice is speaking in her mind," said Twilight. "He is using her worst fear again. We have got to concentrate our thoughts, get into her mind and help her." Everyone agreed and they closed their eyes.

"You shall be lonely for all eternity and there is no one to help you! Mwahahahaha!" Malice's malicious voice thundered.

"Come on Cat, you can defeat this mind readin' trap," called Apple Bloom.

"Guys is that you?"she responded.

"You can do it!" added Trixie.

"We believe in you!" finished Discord.

"They're right. Malice, I will never be alone, because I have faith in my new friends. They overcame difficult obstacles and battled different enemies before, and when they are in danger in future adventures, I will have faith in them for them to win and I will help them as they will help me!" she said bravely.

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Malice's roar of rage faded away from her mind, and then a magical thing happened. She found herself floating into the air. Twilight, Flash and the others covered their eyes, when a bright light appeared around her. Even Sludge closed her eyes. The powerful magic grew rapidly. Then a few moments later everyone lowered his or her hooves and hands. Cat was lying on the ground unconscious.

"Cat, is that you?" asked Trixie. Cat slowly got up on her hooves and opened her eyes and stood at an angle. Everyone gasped in shock. Cat was transformed into a more happy, fun-loving and beautiful pony. Her hair was white as snow, her dress was a peachy creamy colour with white stripes, and her hoof links were wavy and peachy coloured. Her cutie mark was changed from a spider web into a blooming white flower; her bows were changed from red and yellow bat like to a peachy cream bow similar to Apple Bloom's and her eyes were changed from red and yellow cat like eyes to orange eyes.

"Cat, you're beautiful," said Twilight. "Not only you gained the spirit of faith, it transformed you into a whole new pony. The fun loving pony like Celestia said when she first came to your park."

"It was all thanks to you everypony. If you didn't enter my mind and believed in me, I would have given up. And now as I understood the true magic of friendship from this adventure with you all and from our play date, I have fulfilled my destiny." Trixie pulled up a mirror.

"Take a look at the new you," she said. Sludge nodded in agreement, although her mistress looked different to what she was, she was happy for her.

"I'm beautiful. I am now a true pony!" Cat cried happily, and everyone laughed. "Let's go and rescue our friends!"

Meanwhile at Malice's castle, he was truly displeased. "Not only your army failed me Chrysalis, my own mind magic failed to destroy Carnival Cat."

"Now they have four spirits of the New Elements. No matter, they will not go far." Chrysalis growled in agreement.
