Chapter 6 – The Final Battle
Twilight and her friends finally arrived at Malice's castle. They hid behind some bushes, as they saw the foot soldiers of Malice and Chrysalis guarding the front door.
"Everypony ready?" whispered Twilight.
"Ready."
"OK Sludge, go for it," said Twilight giving Sludge the signal. Carnival Cat hugged her.
"Make me proud Sludge." Sludge nodded and she slithered towards them like a snake and fast as a lightning bolt. The guards looked in puzzlement, and soon were engulfed in Sludge's slimy clutches. The guards tried to escape to tell their master but she wouldn't let them go. Then Twilight and her friends went through the front door and they were on their way to the dungeons. Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Fluttershy were in the dungeon cell, worried if they were going to be stuck in there forever. Then they heard approaching hoof steps.
"What's that?" asked Applejack.
"Maybe it's the guards trying to mock us all," added Rarity, being dramatic. "Or they could be taking us to Malice and Chrysalis!" Then Rainbow Dash noticed the familiar alicorn shadow.
"Twilight is that you?" she asked.
"Yes! It's us!" Twilight replied happily. "We're here, you girls alright?"
"We're fine thanks Twilight," said Pinkie Pie. "Boy are we glad to see you guys."
"How do we get out?" asked Rainbow Dash. Trixie walked up to the cell door.
"Stand back Twilight and I will break you out." She and Twilight combined their magic and blast the door down. Everyone rushed and hugged each other.
"Rarity, you're OK," said Sweetie Belle and hugged her sister.
"I'm glad you're safe too my dear sister. Is that a gorgeous cutie mark I see?"
"Right Rarity, Apple Bloom, Scootaloo and I have gained our long awaited cutie marks," explained Sweetie Belle.
"Right we had finally realised what our special talents were, when we were on our way to rescue you," added Scootaloo.
"But does that mean you not the Cutie Mark Crusaders anymore?" asked Applejack.
"No sis, we learned from our new friend Carnival Cat, once a Cutie Mark Crusader, always a Cutie Mark Crusader," replied Apple Bloom. The Mane 5 looked at Cat.
"Nice to meet you all," she said nervously.
"You look fabulous darling," said Rarity admiring her new appearance.
"How did you became from our enemy to our friend?" asked Fluttershy.
"Well thanks to your friends, I understood about the magic of friendship and they helped me when I learnt to put my tragic past behind me. I also learned to have fun as well," explained Cat.
"She has become a whole new pony since you first met her," added Discord. "And all of us together discovered a way we can beat Malice and Chrysalis with help from Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Shining Armor."
"How?" asked Pinkie Pie, looking a bit puzzled.
"When Malice and Chrysalis brought you here, did you see some orbs similar to what our Elements came in?" asked Twilight.
"Sure right over there," replied Rainbow Dash. "Why?"
"We discovered from Celestia and Luna that when they first found the Elements of Harmony, they heard from their friend, Star Swirl the Bearded, that there were more Elements of Harmony long since lost to Malice," explained Flash Sentry.
"More Elements of Harmony?" asked Applejack.
"On our way here, Spike, Trixie, Flash, Sweetie Belle, Cat, Discord, Apple Bloom and Scootaloo have passed the similar obstacles we faced when we gained the main Elements," continued Twilight. "They have earned the spirits of faith, heroism, determination, supportiveness, bravery, enthusiasm, showmanship and patience."
"That is…awesome!" cheered Rainbow Dash. "But Discord, aren't you going to be affected by the Elements?"
"No Rainbow Dash," chuckled Discord. "Princess Celestia casted an everlasting protection spell on me, so I wouldn't be affected."
"Why are you an Element anyway?" asked Fluttershy.
"Because he saved Twilight's life, when she fell of the cliff," replied Spike and Fluttershy hugged Discord and he blushed.
Twilight walked up to the orbs and used her magic to levitate them on the ground orb by orb.
"OK everypony, it is time to break the orbs and retrieve the gems." She and the Mane 6 smashed the orbs to reveal the gems, and one by one they circled around them.
"Flash, who defended me from danger by fighting Malice's minions, represents the spirit of heroism." A circle of yellow gems appeared around him and changed into his harmony necklace, a big lightning bolt.
"Apple Bloom, who showed patience whilst waiting for her cutie mark and took time to build the raft across the river," began Applejack.
"Sweetie Belle, who showed enthusiasm to sing and to keep the team going," continued Rarity.
"And Scootaloo, who conquered her fear when she went off her scooter and flew to get it and got across the gorge," added Rainbow Dash.
"Represent the spirits of patience, determination and enthusiasm." Three circles of rose, gold and light orange gems gathered around them and transformed into their harmony necklaces, a flower, a bell and a Pegasus wing.
"Trixie, who defeated her own temptations whilst learning to share her spotlight with others, represents the spirit of showmanship," said Pinkie Pie. A light blue-gemmed circle gathered around her and changed into her harmony necklace, a wand.
"Discord who saved Twilight's life, represents the spirit of bravery," smiled Fluttershy and a circle of white gems gathered around him that created his harmony necklace, a shooting star.
"And Cat and Spike, who showed support and faith in all of us represent the spirits of supportiveness and faith," finished Twilight and circles of red and purple gems gathered around them which created their harmony necklaces a quill and a star with a flower in the middle.
"With all of us together," continued Twilight whilst she gave the Mane 6 their Elements.
"We have become the Elements of True Harmony!" They finished together and ran up to the main chamber. Malice and Chrysalis were shocked and angry when they realized their reign of evil was at an end when they saw them through his crystal ball.
"No it can't be! Not only Cat has transformed, they had gained the new Elements of Harmony. We will have to take them ourselves!" roared Malice.
"They shall be destroyed! One way or another!" hissed Chrysalis. They roared for their soldiers to stand by them. They ran straight to the chamber entrance, but they were stopped by the Elements.
"Malice and Chrysalis, we have passed your obstacles! You're in for it now!" shouted Twilight.
"Soldiers destroy them all!" roared Malice and Chrysalis. Then the final battle had begun. Twilight and Trixie used their magic to blast some of the changelings. Applejack and Apple Bloom kicked some others. Sweetie Belle and Rarity punched a few more. Fluttershy threw a net on others. Spike threw fire. Discord and Flash whacked. Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo head butted. Pinkie blasted her party cannon and Cat used her singing to thrall the final set of changelings and then punched them. Malice and Chrysalis were really annoyed that their soldiers were beaten quickly than they expected. Then the Elements turned to them.
"Impossible! How can you not give up and surrender Equestria to us?" roared Malice loudly.
"Because Malice and Chrysalis, the magic of friendship is stronger than ever before," said Twilight.
"Right, with all of us together we are no match for you," added Trixie.
"Not only we have the main Elements of Harmony at our disposal, but we have also have new Elements of Harmony as well," continued Flash. Chrysalis then hissed at Cat.
"But Cat what do you know about friendship, you don't have the courage to defeat us!"
Cat replied bravely, "I do have courage Malice and Chrysalis, and that is a different kind of courage; the courage from my friendship with Twilight and her friends," Then she turned to her friends, "I felt it the moment I first started this adventure with you, you're are the only real friends and family I had ever had and now I know that you are all are my friends."
Discord agreed, "If it weren't for Twilight and her friends, I wouldn't have been a great friend and ally of Equestria." Trixie agreed also.
"You see Malice and Chrysalis, with all of our Elements together, we have become the Elements of True Harmony!" exclaimed Twilight. They then activated their Elements and they created a powerful double rain boom and fired it at Malice and Chrysalis.
"NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!" They cried, but it was too late for them. It blasted away Chrysalis and her changeling army back to the Badlands and she vowed she would return to Equestria. But for Malice however, the power of the Elements destroyed him and his castle, just like his father King Sombra was. The rays of colours shot up into the night sky and spread out all over Equestria. Shining Armor and Cadance hugged each other when they saw it from the Crystal Palace. The same went for Celestia and Luna when they saw it from Canterlot Castle. They knew that Twilight and her friends had won and succeeded in their task.
Sludge had successfully stopped the remaining soldiers, and she too saw the lights. She ran towards the bushes when the castle came crumbling down. She then saw a bright light, and emerging from it was the Elements of True Harmony; Twilight, Cat and their friends. Sludge came forward and hugged Cat, Twilight, Flash, The Crusaders, Trixie, Spike and Discord. The others were surprised.
"It's alright girls," said Cat. "She's a friend. Sludge this is Pinkie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack."
"She's so cute," said Pinkie happily and she hugged her. Then everyone hugged Sludge and they laughed. Once again the magic of friendship prevailed against evil.
"Let's go home everypony," said Twilight. "We have a celebratory gala to finish." Everyone cheered and set off for home.
