Chapter 5 – The Final Tests
Twilight, Flash, Cat and their friends made it to the bridge over the canyon; they saw the castle of Malice in the distance.
"Once we get over this bridge, it is straight to the castle," said Twilight. "We better go one at a time. The bridge is a bit unsteady." Everyone agreed.
Twilight went first, and then Flash, Apple Bloom, Carnival Cat, Discord, Sweetie Belle, Trixie and Spike followed. Malice and Chrysalis were watching from the crystal ball at the castle, as Scootaloo was about to cross.
"I'll make that filly see her fears." Malice said maliciously. Then he used his dark magic to make the ropes cut off and the bridge fell down the canyon. Scootaloo was horrified.
"What am I going to do?" she cried.
"I'll magic up your scooter," called Trixie, and she levitated it towards her. Twilight, Sweetie Belle and Discord helped her.
"Thanks, but I'm not sure if it will go far. I'm afraid of falling, and I don't think I can fly yet. I want be to be like my idol Rainbow Dash and follow what Princess Luna said about facing my fears. Oh I don't think I can do it." Scootaloo was shaking with fright and tears formed up in her eyes.
"Come on Scootaloo, you can do it," called Spike. "Just trust in yourself, ride on the scooter and when you over the canyon just flap your wings as fast as you can."
"I can't," cried Scootaloo.
"I believe in you, just trust yourself and your heart," replied Spike. "And you can do it."
"Come on Scootaloo, you can do it!" called Flash.
"Go on our brave crusader," added Discord and Cat.
"Go for it Scootaloo!" called Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom.
"You can do this." finished Spike. Scootaloo put on a brave face; she put on her helmet and started flapping her wings.
"This is for you Rainbow Dash and Luna." She said to herself and zoomed off towards the edge at a very fast speed. "I can do this!" she shouted. The others were excited. Then Scootaloo closed her eyes and she went over the edge, and went down into the canyon. The others gasped in horror.
"Come on Scootaloo!" cried Twilight.
"She's done for," added Cat. Then they heard a flutter of wings and looked over the canyon. They just couldn't believe their eyes. Scootaloo was flying, without her helmet and scooter, but she still had her eyes closed.
"Scootaloo, you're flying!" Twilight shouted happily. Scootaloo slowly opened her eyes, and she couldn't believe it what she was doing.
"I'm flying…. I'm flying!" she shouted happily. "Now as Rainbow Dash always said I am now 20% cooler." And she flew up the canyon wall up to the others as quickly as she could; she even did a few loop-de-loops. Everyone cheered as she made it back on the ground at the top of the cliff.
"You did it Scootaloo!" said Apple Bloom.
"That was amazing!" added Sweetie Belle.
"Thanks everypony, and thanks Spike if it weren't for you believing in me along with all the others, I wouldn't have done it," finished Scootaloo and gave Spike a hoof bump.
"Look your cutie mark," said Spike excitedly, and Scootaloo turned round and looked at her new cutie mark; her scooter with Pegasus wings added.
"Girls, now we got our long awaited cutie marks," acknowledged Scootaloo.
"But now we got them," added Apple Bloom. "Does that mean we disband the Cutie Mark Crusaders?" The three of them lowered their heads. Carnival Cat put her hoof around Sweetie Belle.
"You don't have to," she said kindly. "Once a Cutie Mark Crusader, always a Cutie Mark Crusader. Right Twilight?"
"Right Cat, you can still do loads of amazing things even though you have your newly discovered cutie marks," replied Twilight.
"Yeah you're right Twilight," said Sweetie Belle. Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle agreed.
"Yeah we could use our experiences to help other fillies discover who they are," added Scootaloo.
"Now we have the last two spirits of the new Elements of Harmony," said Flash. "Scootaloo has the spirit of determination and Spike has the spirit of supportiveness."
"That is awesome!" added Spike. "I never thought I would gain an element. Now we can enter the castle. What is the plan Twilight?"
"Sludge will handle the front guards guarding the castle entrance, we'll sneak in go into the dungeon, free Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash. And then we free the gems that will create the new Elements of Harmony and then battle Malice and Chrysalis."
"That's what I call a plan," said Discord.
"Let's go everypony!" shouted Twilight. Everyone cheered and ran towards the castle for the final rescue and battle.
