In Memory of Glen Campbell and Christopher Plummer


At Princess Celestia's castle, I was there to tell Princess Celestia about the upcoming Doomsday War on April 12th.

I walked in.

Princess Celestia: Hello J.D.

Me: Hello Princess. I'm sorry to come in like this but I'm afraid I have bad news.

Princess Celestia: What is it? What's wrong?

Me: I'm afraid all of Equestria is in grave danger. I know I'm starting to sound crazy but I'm afraid it's all true. There's a Doomsday War that is gonna happen in 2 months on April 12th.

Princess Celestia: How bad is this war?

Me: Armageddon Level. All of Equestria's most dangerous enemies are gonna return and destroy everything and kill everyone.

Princess Celestia: You mean?

Me: Yeah. I'm afraid so. Tirek, Evil Cozy Glow, Evil Starlight Glimmer, Queen Chrysalis, everyone.

Princess Celestia and the princesses and guards gasped.


Tirek

Tirek, also known as Lord Tirek, is one of the main antagonists of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. He appears as the main antagonist in Season 4's finale "Twilight's Kingdom", a minor villain in "Cutie Re-Mark", the secondary antagonist in Season 8's finale "School Raze", and one of the three main antagonists of Season 9 (alongside Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow). He is G4's incarnation of Tirac; the first villain of the original series. He is also one of Twilight Sparkle's archenemies.

He is a power-hungry centaur with the power to drain the magic and abilities out of other creatures, particularly ponies. In Season 4, he escaped from his imprisonment at Tartarus to steal magic and gain power to take over Equestria, before he was defeated and banished back to Tartarus by the Mane Six. In Season 8, he conspires with his new protégé, Cozy Glow for the sake of revenge, but his plan backfired, thus forcing him to help them escape. In Season 9, he and Cozy Glow were released from Tartarus and becomes a member of the Legion of Doom, a team of villains bend on conquering Equestria, but was defeated once more by the Mane Six and their allies.

He was voiced by Mark Acheson, who also played Unicron in Transformers: Armada and Transformers: Energon, Moses Tripoli in Fargo, and Sabretooth in Hulk Vs.

Childhood

Along with his brother Scorpan, Tirek used to be one of the princes of their old kingdom. Their land was ruled by their parents, the Centaur King Vorak, and the gargoyle Queen Haydon. Despite their fearsome appearances, Vorak and Haydon were benevolent rulers who wanted peace with Equestria. They did their best to guide their children and keep them on the right path, but while Scorpan took after their examples, Tirek was shown to already be a delinquent who constantly got into trouble at a young age. Because of this, his father King Vorak disapproved of his behavior and actions, which caused Tirek to develop an intense hatred for his father. Tirek seemed indifferent to his mother, though it's mentioned in "Frenemies" that he did genuinely love his grandmother. Tirek was a prodigy among his land, born with more magic than any other being in their kingdom, though his father was fearful of this due to the fact that he could sense a thirst for power in Tirek, believing that Tirek would one day try to overthrow him. At some point in time, Tirek started meeting with an old evil centaur wizard called Sendak the Elder, and became his protegee.

One day, Tirek and Scorpan went to visit Sendak. Though at first Scorpan said they had to return to the castle because their parents could be worried for them, Tirek ignored Scorpan and entered Sendak's home. Sendak told Tirek everything about pony magic and how he captured a unicorn when he traveled to Equestria. Sendak further revealed that there was a spell that would allow him to drain magic from other beings and use it to increase his own power, and that he was planning to do this with the unicorn he captured, though not at the exact moment. Supposedly, Equestria had more magic than any other land, and draining all of the magic from the land would make someone an "indominable force". Sendak realized that Tirek wanted to drain the unicorn's magic for himself, but he informed Tirek that he was too young to properly perform the spell at the time, telling him to wait until he was older.

Tirek and Scorpan returned to the castle where their parents, King Vorak and Queen Haydon were arguing until they enter on. That night, Tirek and Scorpan talked about their parents relations with them and when everyone went to sleep, Tirek went out the castle to find out more about pony magic. Once in Sendak (who was taking a nap)'s home, Tirek tries to make the same ability that Sendak used to steal the pony's magic until Sendak woke up just to see how Tirek's spell of absorbing magic just causes a great explosion that traps Sendak under a pile of rubble. Sendak asks Tirek for help, but he abandons him and sneaks back to the castle.

The next day, it is revealed that Sendak was rescued by Vorak's guards, but was sentenced to work in the mines for the rest of his life as punishment for kidnapping the unicorn. Vorak asks Tirek where he was the night when the explosion happened and Tirek explains that he never left the castle. However, his father doesn't believe him and confines Tirek along with Scorpan to their chamber. Tirek is last seen on the balcony where he swears that one day he will overthrow his father and finish what Sendak couldn't: Rule over Equestria.

Since then, Tirek has used magic to compensate for the fact that deep down, he will never be enough to please King Vorak, as explained in The Ending of the End Part 2. It is unclear if Tirek has indeed overthrown his parents or if he just simply left them alongside his brother to conquer Equestria. The fact that Scorpan, who clearly loved them, was still on good terms with Tirek by the time they left their land to travel to Equestria, suggests the latter.

Invasion and Imprisonment

A thousand years prior to the series, a full-grown Tirek and his brother Scorpan traveled to Equestria so that Tirek could finally fulfill his dream of taking all the magic from the land and becoming all-powerful. But when Scorpan came to appreciate Equestria and became friends with Star Swirl the Bearded, he tried to turn Tirek away from his quest. Tirek refused, and Scorpan warned Celestia and Luna of his brother's ambitions, and, because of this, they were able to capture and imprison Tirek in Tartarus for his crimes while Scorpan returned to his homeland. Before leaving, Scorpan gave Tirek his amulet as a memento of their former bond.

Twilight's Kingdom

In "Twilight's Kingdom", it is revealed that when Cerberus left his post at the gates of Tartarus (in "It's About Time"), Tirek was able to escape. After spending his time free recovering his strength, he had eventually regained enough power to absorb a unicorn's magic. Celestia received a vision of this event and, after meeting with Luna, Cadence, and Twilight to assess the threat of his return, sent Discord after Tirek, as he could sense magical imbalances and therefore make it easy for him to find Tirek. Discord, using the guise of a unicorn, discovered Tirek in an alleyway and confronts him. Tirek initially commends Discord for his "escape" from his imprisonment, only for Discord to bind him with shackles, revealing that he had switched alignments and is reimprisoning Tirek for his friends. Taking advantage of this new revelation, Tirek convinced Discord that his friendship was a new form of prison and that, if they worked together, he could get the one this friendship could never give him; freedom. Discord, despite his friendship with Fluttershy, agrees. With Discord now at his side, Tirek began devouring the energy and magic from unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies alike from all across Equestria, regaining almost all of his strength.

Knowing that he would seek alicorn magic next, Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadence, with no options left, called upon Twilight and entrusted all of their magic to her, as Tirek was not aware of the existence of a fourth Princess. As expected, Tirek and Discord assaulted Canterlot in search of the Princesses' magic, only to find the three Princesses without it. Still assured of his victory, Tirek ironically banished the three Princesses to Tartarus and approached Discord, who was comically altering Celestia's stained glass windows. As a sign of gratitude for his efforts, Tirek gave Discord a medallion that he received from "somebody close to him", before seeing the window depicting Twilight and demanding to know why Discord didn't tell him about the fourth Princess. Discord stated that he wasn't sure if Tirek could be fully trusted, but now knowing that he is, tells him about Twilight and her friends. Tirek, though upset over his friend lying to him, does appear to forgive him. Tirek and Discord then headed to Ponyville and captured Twilight's best friends, Tirek draining their power before doing the same to Discord, telling him that he has outlived his usefulness, revealing that his medallion actually came from Scorpan, and that Discord is as worthless to him as his brother was.

Growing to tremendous size from the magic he absorbed with his power even surpassing that of Discord, Tirek sought out Twilight, obliterating her home of the Golden Oak Library in his search, enraging her and driving them to fight in an epic battle. The two were evenly matched, though Twilight seemed to have a slight advantage, and so Tirek revealed the other Mane 5, Spike, and Discord, imprisoned inside orbs. Tirek told Twilight to give him all the alicorn magic in Equestria in exchange for her friend's release, and she agreed, and Tirek released all except Discord, who Twilight then wanted to be released as well. Although not understanding why Twilight would want Discord after he betrayed her, Tirek complies and drained her of all the alicorn magic, increasing his size and strength to titanic proportions. To thank her for her kindness, Discord gave Twilight Scorpan's medallion, this time out of legitimate gratitude, making it the final key to the Tree of Harmony box.

Unlocking the box, the Mane 6 receive Rainbow Power, and confront Tirek with their new abilities. Tirek fires at them with a massive magical blast, only to be confused when his attack has no effect on them. A distressed Tirek asks how it is possible for the Ponies to be undamaged without magic, and Twilight responds by telling him that she possesses the most powerful magic of all; friendship. The Mane 6 then attacks Tirek, draining him of his stolen magic and reimprisoning him in Tartarus, undoing all of his actions.

The Cutie Map

In "The Cutie Map", Tirek is mentioned by Rainbow Dash when she reminds Twilight that they along with the rest of the Mane Six, have opened all six keys of friendship, defeated Tirek and received a castle of their own.

Crusaders of the Lost Mark

In "Crusaders of the Lost Mark", Tirek was mentioned again by Pipsqueak, who stated that his battle with Twilight was the cause of the poor conditioning of the schoolyard.

The Cutie Re-Mark

In "The Cutie Re-Mark", in the fourth alternate timeline created by Starlight Glimmer, without the Mane 6 to stop him, Tirek succeeds in draining all the magic in Equestria and is briefly seen causing destruction.

Shadow Play

In "Shadow Play", Pinkie Pie mentions Tirek while recounting the threats Equestria has faced over the last thousand years to Starswirl the Bearded.

The Mean 6

In "The Mean 6", while not mentioned by name, Pinkie Pie briefly recounts the battle between the Mane 6 and Tirek while talking to Twilight (who, in reality, was a clone created by Queen Chrysalis).

School Raze

Tirek reappears in Season 8's two-part finale, "School Raze", in which it's revealed that he is pen pals with Cozy Glow. He also conspired with Cozy for the sake of getting revenge. Cozy Glow was successful in trapping the Mane 6 in Tartarus, during which Tirek told them that Cozy Glow was behind it and his involvement in her plan. However, Twilight reminded him that if they were trapped in Tartarus, he'd be trapped with them for eternity. Pinkie Pie annoyed Tirek to the point of giving Twilight what remained of his magic so the Mane 6 could escape just to get rid of them.

After the Young Six broke Cozy Glow's spell, Tirek got his magic back, which hit him in the head and knocked him down. Later, a bored Cerberus lay next to Tirek with him remarking that it may be boring in Tartarus but at least Cerberus isn't in a cage. When Luna and two Royal Guards imprisoned Cozy Glow in Tartarus, in a cage next to Tirek, Cozy Glow asked Tirek if he wanted to be her friend, much to Tirek's dismay.

Season 9 The Beginnning of the End

In "The Beginning of the End", while still imprisoned with him, Cozy Glow annoys Tirek by continuing to try and befriend him, before the both of them are suddenly transported out of Tartarus. Emerging within a mysterious cavern, Tirek and Cozy Glow are met by Queen Chrysalis, who immediately accuses them of summoning her, though Cozy Glow assures her that they thought she freed them. As this happens, King Sombra suddenly appears, causing the three to accuse him of summoning them, only for Discord (disguised as the ancient tyrant Grogar) to reveal himself to be the one who was responsible for summoning them. Tirek, Chrysalis and Sombra are shocked to see him, as they believed he was only a legend, though "Grogar" assures them that he is real and states that he summoned them as part of his plan to rid Equestria of Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

Seeing that Cozy Glow doesn't know who he is, "Grogar" decides to demonstrate his power by giving Tirek a sample of magic that revives much of his strength. Tirek then tells Cozy Glow that "Grogar" is ancient and extremely powerful, as well as the former ruler of what would become Equestria, claiming that he had heard stories of his tyranny when he was younger. "Grogar" then tells the villains of how he created monsters that roamed the land and took whatever they wanted under his rule, before Chrysalis remarks how he was banished by Gusty the Great, although "Grogar" claims that he was only temporarily weakened when she took his bell; however, Cozy Glow points out that, since he has been weakened before even Tirek was born, he has a very different idea of what "temporarily" means, much to his annoyance. In reality, Gusty the Great really did banish the real Grogar into limbo, from where there is no return.

"Grogar" proceeds to tell the group that he has watched them and their failures to take over Equestria, and asks them why they have always been defeated by the same six ponies each time, Tirek claiming that it is because they are "annoyingly lucky". "Grogar" rebuffs their answers and claims it is because their enemies work together as a team, demanding that the villains join forces with him to take over Equestria. Sombra, however, refuses to serve "Grogar" and arrogantly proclaims that he will take over the Crystal Empire by himself, causing "Grogar" to send him off to the Empire on the conditions that, if he fails, he will serve him or be destroyed again. After this, "Grogar" tells the others to prepare to work together and leaves. Cozy Glow immediately compares working together to making friends, telling Tirek and Chrysalis that they are in luck since she knows "all about that", though the former only flicks her away in annoyance.

Cozy Glow tries to get Tirek and Chrysalis to work together by having them each say nice things to each other, though this falls apart when Chrysalis refuses to say anything nice about ponies. "Grogar" then approaches them and states that he hopes the three of them will be enough to help his plans along, causing Tirek and Chrysalis to ask about Sombra. "Grogar" shows them that Sombra had failed in his plans to conquer Equestria and had again been defeated by the Mane Six, remarking that he will at least serve as an example to them as what will happen if they don't submit to his plans. Having seen this, Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow unanimously agree to serve "Grogar", though are seemingly left nervous by the thought.

Frenemies

In "Frenemies", as "Grogar" is working, Cozy Glow approaches him and tattles on Tirek for leaving food out, Tirek quickly approaching "Grogar" and telling him not to trust anything she says afterwards; though "Grogar" is quick to point out that he already doesn't trust anything that they say. After being annoyed by Chrysalis, "Grogar" informs the villains that he is leaving and demands that they all stop fighting and find a way to work together so that they can accomplish their goals. Once "Grogar" leaves, Tirek, not listening to his orders, begins to work out by himself (seemingly in an effort to re-obtain his physique from when he had absorbed Equestria's magic). While doing so, he is approached by Cozy Glow, who states that she is organizing a team meeting, which he agrees to go to so long as she leaves him be. At the meeting, Cozy Glow encourages the fact that they all need to trust one another to work together, which Chrysalis finds hard to do as Tirek is trying to steal her magic. Tirek firmly denies doing such a thing (returning the magic he actually had stole to a cupcake that Chrysalis devours), and calls her out for constantly ranting to her log, before joining Chrysalis in telling Cozy Glow that she wasn't left in charge. Cozy Glow then tries to get them all to agree with one another over their common goals, leading them all into singing "Better Way to be Bad" with one another, only for them all to devolve into bickering.

"Grogar" returns at the same time, and, upset to see they have not yet resolved their differences, decides to send them off on a mission to retrieve his Bewitching Bell from Mt. Everhoof so that they can learn to work together. Tirek and the others fight over who should lead the mission based on their previous feats, only for "Grogar" to angrily overpower and remind them that they all failed before and cannot work alone. Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, all of the villains immediately split off and begin to find their own ways of getting up; Tirek staying behind and making a camp for himself. He proceeds to laugh at Cozy Glow upon seeing her return, and explains to her that he had already deduced that getting up the mountain by himself would be impossible, and so had planned to wait for her and Chrysalis to fail so that he could take what they learned and use it to his advantage. Cozy Glow and Tirek proceed to bicker — Tirek calling her out for her fake cutesy persona and constant manipulations having found out that she was only pretending to befriend him long before they teamed up, and Cozy Glow criticizing his arrogance, while also mocking him for talking to his "Gram Gram" in his sleep — until they are approached by an Ophiotaurus, which they both blame each other for attracting. Suddenly, a female Ophiotaurus arrives and seduces the other one, Tirek quickly realizing that the former is actually Chrysalis in disguise, who admits that she needs their help, causing Tirek to gloat about his own strategy.

That night, Tirek and the others begin to bond with each other over their previous endeavors and hatred towards The Mane Six; him remarking on how he turned Discord against his friends and used their emotions against them, and that Cozy Glow's plan to destroy all magic would have been worthwhile if it meant seeing Twilight and her friends defeated, also admitting that working with Chrysalis and her may not be such a bad thing. The next day, the three villains proceed to combine their abilities in order to scale the mountain, only to find that the cave at the top is protected by a magical barrier, which Tirek cannot absorb since he can only take magic from living beings. With some convincing, Chrysalis allows Tirek to take her magic to become powerful enough to create an opening in the barrier, allowing Cozy Glow to enter the cave and retrieve the bell. Tirek then returns Chrysalis' magic, stating that he wasn't sure he would do so and that it seemed smarter to work with her than fight. The villains begin to reflect with one another over how it felt to rely on others for a change, before Chrysalis snaps them out of it, not wanting the friendship to infect her like it did her hive. Realizing that they almost reformed, the three vow to remain focused.

The three then concur that "Grogar" has grown too powerful and decides to betray him together, and Tirek agrees that they can all go back to trying to destroy one another afterward. He and the others later return to "Grogar's" lair and fool him into thinking that they failed while yet still becoming allies to his delight, though in reality have kept the bell for themselves.

A Trivial Pursuit

In "A Trivial Pursuit", Tirek is mentioned by Twilight and Mudbriar with him and Scorpan being the answer of who came to steal magic from Equestria.

The Summer Sun Setback

In The Summer Sun Setback, Cozy Glow sees "Grogar" leaving and asks where he is going. He reveals that since his minions "failed" to recover the Bewitching Bell for him, they will need another source of power to defeat Twilight and her friends. After "Grogar" leaves, Cozy Glow informs Chrysalis and Tirek that he is gone. The villains voice that they don't trust "Grogar" and try to figure out how to use his bell like ringing it but nothing happens. Cozy Glow then points out that Twilight mentioned that the Archives in Canterlot has a restricted area and the villains set off on their "road trip".

The three villains hide in Canterlot and only Chrysalis and Tirek notice so many ponies out in the night. Cozy Glow reveals that it's the Summer Sun Celebration with Chrysalis asking how many holidays these ponies have. She believes that it will be easy to get in until Tirek points out that Canterlot has increased security. After Chrysalis fails to enter through the main doors, she returns to her allies and informs that it will be more challenging. The villains then overhear Twilight's friends and Discord talking about their responsibilities for the holiday. Tirek believes it to be impossible since the security is increased with Twilight's friends "bumbling about". However, Chrysalis sees it as an advantage to use as a distraction since they heard everything and gives instructions to Tirek and Cozy Glow.

While Chrysalis and Cozy Glow secretly sabotage the unicorns and Pegasi, Tirek secretly sabotages the Earth ponies of Appleloosa who are prepare the catering by hiding in the bushes and discreetly absorbing the Earth ponies magic which turns him back into his third form. This causes Braeburn to assume that the food is contaminated, causing the rest of the Earth ponies to panic. Tirek laughs at this while stealing some food on the way.

The villains watch all the panic and chaos unfold before deciding to incapacitate the security. Cozy Glow distracts a guard while Tirek steals his magic and Chrysalis uses his star badge to the main doors for them to enter.

They search for the archives which also wakes up a security goose which follows them. However, Chrysalis disguises herself as another security goose to get it to leave and the villains finally find and break into the Archives. They search through the Archives until Cozy Glow finds a book about how to use the Bewitching Bell and uses another book to break it out of it's chains.

This gives the villains time to leave Canterlot back to "Grogar's" lair while Twilight and her friends are able to fix the holiday. "Grogar" also returns tells his cohorts that he has found success where they all find "failure". He reveals that he located what he wanted and will retrieve it the next day before they begin his plan to take over Equestria. Tirek is still sulking that he had to give the magic of the Earth ponies back to them, in which Chrysalis and Cozy Glow tell him to stop doing and remind him that "Grogar" would become suspicious if he found out about their "road trip" in which Tirek claims that he doesn't have to like it. Cozy Glow reveals that she didn't like it when the Mane Six managed to fix the holiday, until Chrysalis reveals that the goal was not to destroy but to distract in order to get the book. Tirek reminds them that they can't waste any more time because they must master the bell before "Grogar" returns. Chrysalis reveals that they managed to stay ahead of everyone so far until Cozy Glow remarks how easy it was to turn the Earth ponies, unicorns and Pegasi against each other, in which Chrysalis decides would be something to think about.

The Ending of the End

Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow absorb "Grogar's" magic from his bell, turning Tirek back into his third form but much stronger. They then drain "Grogar's" current magic, revealing him to be Discord. When Chrysalis intends to take Discord's magic, Tirek says only Discord can control it. They agree to let Cozy Glow test this knowing that she can't go through with betraying them and take the magic back at her request when she can't control it, before setting out to conquer Equestria. Tirek drains the Pillars of Equestria and imprisons them in the caves beneath Canterlot with Starlight Glimmer, who was captured by Chrysalis, before both go to Canterlot to fight alongside Cozy Glow, during which they destroy half of Canterlot and almost kill Twilight twice, with Rarity stopping them the first time, and the other Mane 5, Spike, Celestia, Luna, and Discord holding their magic beam back the second time so Twilight can escape, and are eventually overpowered and imprisoned by the villains.

In Part 2, where Cozy Glow wants to kill the prisoners and Chrysalis wants to torture them, Tirek instead wants to hunt down Twilight as he knows that she is the biggest threat. They argue over Cozy Glow trying to take Celestia and Luna's magic from the bell, Tirek saying they must figure out Discord's magic first. Discord pretends to offer to tell them in exchange for the safety of the others, and insults Tirek into trying to blast him, which Discord reflects to release Starlight from her imprisonment, allowing her to release the others, and while the other Mane 5 and Spike run off to get Twilight, Starlight, Celestia, Luna, and Discord fight Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow, who reimprison them.

When the Windigos return from the villains turning ponies against each other, Tirek says they are ancient magic and should be destroyed. Afterwards, the Mane 6 and Spike arrive. During an attempt to get the bell, Tirek chases after Twilight, who is trying to distract him, after which Tirek foils Applejack's attempt to get the bell. When Chrysalis threatens Spike, the villains nearly destroy the Mane 6, but many unicorns protect them and most of the ponies' allies enter the battle.

In the end, the Mane 6, Spike, the Young Six, and the Pillars unleash a rainbow which destroys the Windigos and takes away Grogar's power from Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow, turning Tirek skinny and frail again. After Pinkie drops a giant cupcake on them with Discord's magic, which, along with Celestia and Luna's magic, is returned, Celestia, Luna, and Discord turn Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow to stone as punishment for their crimes after Celestia and Luna ponder over what they should do given the scope of their crimes. Thus, Tirek was finally defeated for good.

The Last Problem

The statue of Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow, makes a cameo in the newspaper in this episode, but they do not appear beyond that. It is stated by Jim Miller that they were later moved into the Canterlot gardens much like Discord's statue. It is unknown if the effects of their stoning are permanent, or whether they would eventually be smashed to pieces, but it is stated by Jim Miller that they are in suspended animation, indicating they are asleep or unconscious for it. The use of present tense could imply that they are still trapped in stone as of the epilogue, though this has yet to be confirmed. Either way, they likely will never be able to hurt any creature again.

Queen Chrysalis

Queen Chrysalis (or also simply known as Chrysalis) is one of the main antagonists of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She appears as the main antagonist in the Season 2 finale "A Canterlot Wedding", the Season 6 finale "To Where and Back Again", the Season 8 episode "The Mean 6", and one of the three main antagonists of Season 9 (alongside Tirek and Cozy Glow). She is also the supporting antagonist in the Season 5 finale "The Cutie Re-Mark" and the overarching antagonist in the Season 6 episode "The Times They Are A Changeling". She is one of Twilight Sparkle's archenemies and also the archenemy of Starlight Glimmer.

She was also featured as the main antagonist in IDW's first comic arc, The Return of Queen Chrysalis, as an supporting antagonist in the ninth comic arc, Siege of the Crystal Empire, the main antagonist of The Guardians of Harmony in the IDW specials and one of the two main antagonists (alongside Megatron) of My Little Pony/Transformers.

She was the Queen of the Changelings who seeks to feed her subjects' hunger for love and later expand her rule across Equestria in the process. She then lost this title after the Changelings realized that they didn't need to feed on love to survive, have been replaced by Thorax. She later becomes a member of the Legion of Doom, consisting of Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow, and was formally led by "Grogar", who was actually Discord in disguise. After they dispose of Discord and learn of his secret, Queen Chrysalis becomes the de-facto leader of the team until she and her teammates were defeated by the Mane Six and their allies. She started out as the archenemy of both Princess Cadence and Twilight Sparkle, and then later became Starlight Glimmer's nemesis when she helped convince her hive to turn on her. But in the end after being defeated by Twilight and her friends for the last time and remained as both Twilight and Starlight's arch-nemesis.

She was voiced by Kathleen Barr, who also voiced Trixie Lulamoon in the same series, Kevin and Marie Kanker in Ed, Edd n' Eddy, and Gelorum in Hot Wheels: AcceleRacers. In her other forms, she was voiced by Britt McKillip in her Princess Cadance disguise, and Ashleigh Ball in her Applejack disguise.

In the Japanese dub from the series, she was voiced by Kaori Nazuka, who also voiced Zonda in Azure Striker Gunvolt and Margaret Mitchell in Bungou Stray Dogs.

Chrysalis first makes an appearance in the penultimate episode of the second season entitled "A Canterlot Wedding", disguised as Princess Cadance. Some time before the events of the episode, Queen Chrysalis somehow got through Shining Armor's shield spell and attacked Princess Cadance, then hid her in the caves below Canterlot and took her form.

When the Main 6 arrive from Ponyville to help with the wedding plans, Twilight encounters "Cadance" after reminiscing about what a great foal-sitter she was. However, to her surprise, Twilight finds that Cadance has no idea who she is and that she is now cold, uninviting, selfish, and cares little for the wedding plans. That night, Twilight expresses her frustrations with Cadance to her friends, who instead chalk up Cadance's bad behavior to stress of the wedding and Twilight's dislike of her as being possessive of her brother. Twilight visits Shining Armor in an attempt to talk to him about Cadance, only for her to show up and take him out of the room for a conversation. Whilst spying on the two, Twilight witnesses Cadance performing a spell on Shining Armor, and deems her as being evil on top of unpleasant, running back to the castle to warn her friends about her, only to realize that she had gotten her friends to replace her missing bridesmaids. The next day, Twilight confronts Cadance in front of her friends, Shining Armor and Princess Celestia, only to be humiliated and disgraced when she runs off crying and Shining Armor justifies all her seemingly mean spirited actions while not inviting her to the wedding. On top of this, her friends are shun her for her misguided actions. As Twilight, now alone, regrets her actions, Cadance returns and comforts her, only to then imprison her below the castle.

Chrysalis, still in Cadance's form, taunts Twilight and tells her that she's only using Shining Armor for her own ends. Chrysalis then attempts to manipulate Twilight into attacking the real Cadance, also trapped under the castle, although this fails when Cadance proves she remembers who Twilight is. As Twilight and the real Cadance attempt to escape, Chrysalis proceeds with her plans of marrying Shining Armor, whilst singing "This Day Aria". However, just as Chrysalis is about to be married, Twilight and Cadance arrive and reveal that she is a fake, causing Chrysalis to reveal her true form.

Chrysalis boasts and explains that, as Queen of the Changelings, she is tasked with finding food for her subjects, and that Equestria has more love to feed off of than anywhere they had encountered before. When Cadance argues that Shining Armor's protection spell will keep the Changelings out, Chrysalis reveals that she has been feeding off of Shining Armor's love, making him and the protection spell gradually weaker. Celestia begins dueling with Chrysalis, although the latter manages to overpower her, having grown stronger due to feeding off of Shining Armor. As the Mane 6 run off to get the Elements of Harmony, Chrysalis laughs and tells them they can run, but they can't hide.

Chrysalis continues to oversee Celestia (now trapped in a cocoon), the detained Cadance, Spike and the brainwashed Shining Armor, as the Mane 6 are brought back in by her minions. She then politely scolds them for not believing Twilight in the first place causing them to feel awful. After telling her remaining subjects to go and feed, Chrysalis reprises "This Day Aria" whilst looking over the destruction of Canterlot, not realizing that Twilight had freed Cadance, who subsequently helps Shining Armor break free of Chrysalis' brainwashing. He glares at her after he's freed, heavily implying he found out Twilight was right about her sometime between when he stormed out and when he was freed. Although both Shining Armor and Cadance are free, Chrysalis over confidently shrugs this off, believing that Shining Armor is too weak to repel them using his protection spell. However, Cadance and Shining Armor use their love to empower the protection spell, sending a shocked Chrysalis and her Changelings flying off to parts unknown. During the aftermath, everyone apologizes to Twilight for not believing her and getting mad at her.

Season 5 The Cutie Re-Mark

In "The Cutie Re-Mark", in the second altered timeline created by Starlight Glimmer, Chrysalis and her Changelings have taken over most of Equestria without the Mane 6 to stop them, and Zecora is leading jungle ponies (Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie among them) in a war against her. Chrysalis, disguised as Applejack, arrives at the jungle ponies' hideout while Zecora is explaining things to Twilight. Zecora is not fooled by Chrysalis' disguise, and Chrysalis unleashes the Changeling army on her resistance while she and Zecora duel. Although Chrysalis presumably wins the battle, the timeline is eventually restored, and she therefore never comes into power.

Season 6 The Times They Are A Changeling

In "The Times They Are A Changeling", Chrysalis briefly appears in Thorax's flashback to the Changeling kingdom. It was later implied that Chrysalis and the changelings all survived their fall from both Thorax having taken part in the invasion and his plans to reform the Changelings in their kingdom.

To Where and Back Again

Chrysalis returns in the Season 6 finale "To Where and Back Again". She with her Changelings capture the Mane 6, Spike, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart and take over Equestria. She is seen communicating with the Changelings impersonating the Mane 6 and Spike, and Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, Thorax, and Discord travel to the Changeling kingdom to stop her.

Starlight and her team go through the Changeling hive to destroy Chrysalis's throne, which blocks all magic but Changeling magic. Discord and Trixie are captured and imprisoned in a chrysalis in Chrysalis's throne room, along with every other pony that was captured. Chrysalis arrogantly boasts about her assured victory to Starlight, only to realize that "Starlight" is actually Thorax, while the real Starlight is attempting to destroy the throne with a rock. Starlight attempts to convince Chrysalis that giving love to others is better for her subjects, however, Chrysalis denies this, stating that she knows what is best for her people. Chrysalis starts to drain Thorax of his love as punishment for betraying her, however, on Starlight's suggestion, Thorax willingly gives all his love to her, blasting her into the throne and obtaining a new transformation. All the other Changelings, realizing that there is a better option to stealing love, do the same, destroying Chrysalis' throne and releasing those imprisoned, also transforming. Chrysalis survives, and, outnumbered by the Mane 6, Spike, Starlight, the princesses, Discord, and those with them, including the entire changeling army, she is unable to do anything. Starlight offers her the chance of redemption, but Chrysalis rejects her offer, swears revenge on Starlight, and flies away.

Season 7 Celestial Advice

In "Celestial Advice", Chrysalis is mentioned a few times.

To Change a Changeling

Chrysalis is mentioned again in the episode "To Change a Changeling".

Shadow Play

In "Shadow Play", Pinkie Pie mentions Chrysalis while recounting the threats Equestria has faced over the last thousand years to Starswirl the Bearded.

Season 8 The Mean 6

In "The Mean 6", Chrysalis, disguised as a photographer for the Canterlot Historical Society, arrives at Twilight's castle to take the photos of the Mane 6, plucking a single hair out of each of them in order to supposedly make them look good for the photos. She then lazily takes pictures of each of them, and, as she prepares to leave, Pinkie Pie reminds her to take a photo of Starlight, which she reluctantly does. Upon leaving the castle, Chrysalis remarks that she now has everything she needs before transforming back to her original form.

Soon afterwards, in the Everfree Forest, Chrysalis pins the hairs and photos to six different trees (while talking to them as if they were people) and reveals her intentions to use the photos, the strands of hair and carvings of the Mane 6's Cutie Mark symbols in a spell that will create evil counterparts to the Mane 6, plotting to use the clones to take control of the Elements of Harmony, eliminate Twilight and her friends and destroy Starlight's relationships as revenge for turning the Changelings against her. Chrysalis then revels in the idea of recreating her hive with unicorns, pegasi and earth ponies and then taking over Equestria, before using her spell to create the Mean Six.

Chrysalis and her new minions begin prowling the forest in search of the Tree of Harmony, which contains the Elements, however, Chrysalis begins to realize that the Mane 6's evil forms are completely unfocused on their goals and do not listen to her orders. The group is accidentally separated during the search, and Chrysalis orders her remaining minions to find the ones that have been lost, resulting in them encountering the Mane 6 (who, coincidentally, had been separated as well). Chrysalis approaches the Twilight clone as she is searching for the others, and, frustrated with her, asks why she shouldn't destroy and replace her, causing the clone to reveal that she knows the location of the Tree of Harmony.

Once Chrysalis and the others are reassembled, they head to the Tree, spitefully destroying the Mane 6's campground as well. Upon approaching the Tree, Chrysalis overhears the Twilight clone goading the others to take the Elements for themselves and betray Chrysalis, leading to her and Twilight fighting each other in a magical duel. As Chrysalis begins to lose, the Tree senses the evil magic inside the clones, and captures all of them, withering away their bodies and reducing them to nothing but wood. Chrysalis admits defeat over her clones' betrayal, but is now aware about the additional power of the tree and still swears to get revenge on Starlight and the Mane 6 before she departing. Chrysalis is last seen escaping into the distance while Twilight tells her friends that they can overcome any obstacle together.

What Lies Beneath

In "What Lies Beneath", Ocellus takes on the form of Chrysalis out of fear that she will become just like her.

Season 9 The Beginning of the End

Queen Chrysalis appears in the Season 9 premiere "The Beginning of the End". She is still craving revenge on Twilight Sparkle and her friends for stealing her kingdom from her to carvings of changelings until she is mysteriously transported to a strange cavern in an unknown part of Equestria. After Lord Tirek and Cozy Glow mysteriously appear, she immediately accuses them of summoning her, though Cozy Glow assures her that they thought she freed them. As this happens, King Sombra also suddenly appears, causing the three to accuse him of summoning them, only for Discord (disguised as the ancient tyrant Grogar) to reveal himself to be the one who was responsible for summoning them. Tirek, Chrysalis and Sombra are shocked to see him, as they believed he was only a legend, though "Grogar" assures them that he is real and states that he summoned them as part of his plan to rid Equestria of Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

Seeing that Cozy Glow doesn't recognize him, "Grogar" decides to demonstrate his power by giving Tirek a sample of magic that revives much of his strength. Tirek then tells Cozy Glow that "Grogar" is ancient and extremely powerful, as well as the ruler of what would become Equestria, claiming that he had heard stories of his tyranny when he was younger. "Grogar" then tells the villains of how he created monsters that roamed the land and took whatever they wanted under his rule, before Chrysalis remarks how he was banished by Gusty the Great, although "Grogar" claims that he was only temporarily weakened when she took his bell; however, Cozy Glow points out that, since he has been weakened before even Tirek was born, he has a different idea of what "temporarily" means, much to his annoyance. In reality, Gusty the Great really did banish the real Grogar into limbo, from where there is no return.

"Grogar" proceeds to tell the group that he has watched them and their failures to take over Equestria, and asks them why they have always been defeated by the same six ponies each time, Chrysalis claiming that it is because they "cheat". "Grogar" rebuffs their answers and claims it is because they work together as a team, demanding that the villains join forces with him to take over Equestria. Sombra, however, refuses to serve "Grogar" and arrogantly proclaims that he will take over the Crystal Empire by himself, causing "Grogar" to send him off to the Empire on the conditions that, if he fails, he will serve him or be destroyed again. After this, "Grogar" tells the others to prepare to work together and leaves. Cozy Glow immediately compares working together to making friends, telling Tirek and Chrysalis that they are in luck since she knows "all about that", though the former only flicks her away in annoyance.

Cozy Glow tries to get Tirek and Chrysalis to work together by having them each say nice things to each other, though this falls apart when Chrysalis refuses to say anything nice about ponies. "Grogar" then approaches them and states that he hopes the three of them will be enough to help his plans along, causing Tirek and Chrysalis to ask about Sombra. "Grogar" shows them that Sombra had failed in his plans to conquer Equestria and had again been defeated by the Mane Six, remarking that he will at least serve as an example to them as what will happen if they don't submit to his plans. Having seen this, Tirek, Chrysalis and Cozy Glow unanimously agree to serve "Grogar", though are seemingly left nervous by the thought.

Sparkle's Seven

Chrysalis is mentioned in the episode "Sparkle's Seven", when Shining Armor and Starswirl the Bearded use leftover debris from Chrysalis' old throne to increase security in Canterlot.

Frenemies

In "Frenemies", as "Grogar" (Discord) is working, Cozy Glow and Tirek annoy him before Chrysalis approaches "Grogar" and impatiently asks when they are going to attack. "Grogar" informs the villains that he is leaving and demands that they all stop fighting and find a way to work together so that they can accomplish their goals. Once "Grogar" leaves, Chrysalis, not listening to his orders, continues to planning revenge (against Starlight Glimmer for turning her kingdom against her). While she was talking to the purple log that used to be Mean Twilight, she is approached by Cozy Glow, who states that she is organizing a team meeting, which she agrees to go so long as she has cupcakes. At the meeting, Cozy Glow encourages the fact that they all need to trust one another, which Chrysalis finds hard to do as Tirek is trying to steal her magic. Tirek firmly denies doing such a thing (returning the magic he actually had stole to a cupcake that Chrysalis devours), and calls her out for constantly ranting to her log, before joining Chrysalis in telling Cozy Glow that she wasn't left in charge. Cozy Glow then tries to get them all to agree with one another over their common goals, leading them all into singing "Better Way to be Bad" with one another, only for them all to return to bickering. Chrysalis like Tirek, also verbally abuses Cozy because of her inexperience and bratty nature.

"Grogar" returns to see this, and, upset to see they have not yet resolved their differences, decides to send them off on a mission to retrieve his Bewitching Bell from Mt. Everhoof so that they can learn to work together. Chrysalis and the others fight over who should lead the mission based on their previous feats, only for "Grogar" to angrily overpower and remind them that they all failed before and cannot work alone. Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, all of the villains immediately split off and begin to find their own ways of getting up; Chrysalis heads through the forest, scaring creatures off and using her powers to turn into creatures to get to the mountain but the winds prevent her from reaching it's top. Later, after Tirek stays behind and makes camp, he explains to Cozy Glow that he had already deduced that getting up the mountain by himself would be impossible, and so had planned to wait for her and Chrysalis to fail so that he could take what they learned and use it to his advantage. Tirek and Cozy Glow bicker until they are attacked by an Ophiotaurus. Suddenly, a female Ophiotaurus arrives and seduces the other one, Tirek quickly realizes that the former is actually Chrysalis in disguise, who admits that she needs their help, causing Tirek to gloat about his own strategy. She then proceeds to cocoon the Ophiotaurus to save some of its love for the next day.

That night, Chrysalis and the others proceed to bond with each other over their previous endeavors; her remarking about how she cocooned Twilight and the others until Starlight Glimmer freed them and turned her kingdom against her. She even remarks that Discord was something until friendship redeemed him hinting that she respected him at one point. She also remarks about disguising herself as Princess Cadance and it would have been worthwhile if it meant seeing Twilight and her friends defeated, also admitting that working with Tirek and Cozy Glow may not be such a bad thing. The next day, the three villains proceed to combine their abilities in order to scale the mountain, only to find that the cave at the top is protected by a powerful magical barrier, which Tirek cannot absorb since he can only absorb magic from living beings. With some convincing, Chrysalis allows Tirek to take her magic to become powerful enough to create an opening in the barrier, allowing Cozy Glow to enter the cave and retrieve the bell. Tirek then returns Chrysalis' magic to her as promised, stating that he wasn't sure he would do so and that it seemed smarter to work with her than fight. The villains begin to reflect with one another over how it felt to rely on others for a change, before Chrysalis snaps them out of it, not wanting friendship to infect her like it did her hive like a "disease". Realizing that they almost reformed, the three vow to remain focused.

The three then concur that "Grogar" has grown too powerful and decide to betray him together, and Chrysalis tells that they can continue acting like his loyal servants and hatch their own plan before trying to destroy one another afterwards. She and the others later return to "Grogar's" lair and fool him into thinking that they failed while yet still becoming allies, though in reality have kept the bell for themselves and Chrysalis remarking that "Grogar" was right as they were more powerful when they work together.

The Summer Sun Setback

In The Summer Sun Setback, Cozy Glow sees "Grogar" leaving and asks where he is going. He reveals that since his minions "failed" to recover the Bewitching Bell for him, they will need another source of power to defeat Twilight and her friends. After "Grogar" leaves, Cozy Glow informs Chrysalis and Tirek that he is gone. The villains voice that they don't trust "Grogar" and try to figure out how to use his bell like ringing it but nothing happens. Cozy Glow then points out that Twilight mentioned that the Archives in Canterlot has a restricted area and the villains set off on their "road trip".

The three villains hide in Canterlot and only Chrysalis and Tirek notice so many ponies out in the night. Cozy Glow reveals that it's the Summer Sun Celebration with Chrysalis asking how many holidays these ponies have. She believes that it will be easy to get in until Tirek points out that Canterlot has increased security. After Chrysalis fails to enter through the main doors, she returns to her allies and informs that it will be more challenging. The villains then overhear Twilight's friends and Discord talking about their responsibilities for the holiday. Tirek believes it to be impossible since the security is increased with Twilight's friends "bumbling about". However, Chrysalis sees it as an advantage to use as a distraction since they heard everything and gives instructions to Tirek and Cozy Glow.

While Tirek and Cozy Glow secretly sabotage the Earth Ponies and Pegasi, Chrysalis takes on her photographer form named "Crackle Cosette" and sabotages the unicorns by convincing them not to waste their talents on something inconsequential and that they are destined for more than just performances. This causes all the unicorns, including Fire Flare, to cancel the fireworks performance, as it is "beneath" them.

The villains watch all the panic and chaos unfold before deciding to incapacitate the security. Cozy Glow distracts a guard while Tirek steals his magic and Chrysalis uses his star badge to the main doors for them to enter. They search for the archives which also wakes up a security goose which follows them. However, Chrysalis disguises herself as another security goose to get it to leave and the villains finally find and break into the Archives. They search through the Archives until Cozy Glow finds a book about how to use the Bewitching Bell and uses a another book to break it out of it's chains.

This gives the villains time to leave Canterlot back to "Grogar's" lair while Twilight and her friends are able to fix the holiday. "Grogar" also returns tells his cohorts that he has found success where they all find "failure". He reveals that he located what he wanted and will retrieve it the next day before they begin his plan to take over Equestria. Tirek is still sulking that he had to give the magic of the Earth ponies back to them, in which Chrysalis and Cozy Glow tell him to stop doing and remind him that "Grogar" would become suspicious if he found out about their "road trip" in which Tirek claims that he doesn't have to like it. Cozy Glow reveals that she didn't like it when the Mane Six managed to fix the holiday, until Chrysalis reveals that the goal was not to destroy but to distract in order to get the book. Tirek reminds them that they can't waste any more time because they must master the bell before "Grogar" returns. Chrysalis reveals that they managed to stay ahead of everyone so far until Cozy Glow remarks how easy it was to turn the Earth ponies, unicorns and Pegasi against each other, in which Chrysalis decides would be something to think about.

The Ending of the End

In the first part of "Ending of the End," the villains successfully betray "Grogar", using the bell to gain new forms and drain "Grogar" of his power. In doing so, they discover that "Grogar" was actually Discord in disguise. After being left exposed and powerless, Discord was forced to flee from the lair.

Chrysalis went after Starlight first, and after a fight, she defeated and captured her at the cost of not taking over her school. She and Tirek then came to Cozy Glow's rescue when the Mane 6 were about to defeat her. The three, after taunting her over her failure, shoot a combined magic blast at Twilight, which the other Mane 5, Celestia, Luna, Spike, and Discord held back so she could escape. Once the others were imprisoned in the caves beneath Canterlot, Chrysalis objected to Cozy Glow's plan to kill them despite her concerns, wanting instead to torture them. Discord, vowing to atone for his role, freed Starlight by mocking Tirek to the point where he almost attacked him, who released the other Mane 5, Celestia, and Luna, and while Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow fought the princesses, Starlight, and Discord, the other Mane 5 ran to find Twilight. The villains, with some trouble defeated and reimprisoned most of their opponents.

When the disharmony they caused between ponies caused the Windigos to return, Chrysalis intended to let them stay as it would give her an advantage over the ponies, though Cozy Glow couldn't stand the cold and Tirek insisted they destroy the Windigos as even he thought they were too out of control. Then the Mane 6 arrived, and when they tried to take Grogar's bell, Chrysalis went after Rarity and Spike, before capturing Spike and threatening to tear his wings off. The trio were about to finish off the Mane 6 with a magic beam when many unicorns blocked with a magic barrier.

After a fight, the Mane 6, Spike, Young Six, and Pillars of Equestria unleashed a rainbow which destroyed the Windigos and removed the power Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow had obtained from the bell. Pinkie Pie dropped a giant cupcake on them using Discord's magic before he took it back from the bell, and then Celestia, Luna, and Discord turned Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow to stone forever, set on a pedestal together. Thus, Chrysalis was finally defeated for good.

The Last Problem

It is uncomfirmed of what happen to Chrysalis in the future, as she (along with Tirek & Cozy Glow) are only briefly mentioned in the final episode along with a cameo in a newspaper. It's unclear if the stoning is permanent. It has been stated by Jim Miller that sometime after being turned to stone, their statues were likely moved into the Canterlot gardens like Discord's statue. He also confirmed that being turned to stone left them in suspended animation instead of letting them see\hear everything going on around them like Discord, and as he said it in present tense it is possible they are still trapped in stone by the epilogue, though that has not actually been confirmed yet. Either way, they likely will never be able to hurt any creature again.

Return of Queen Chrysalis Arc

In the first arc of the comics, Chrysalis and the Changelings are shown to have survived their fall, landing in an area called Wuvey-Dover Smoochy Land. Deciding to take advantage of this, Chrysalis and the other Changelings drained the town's open-hearted citizens of their love transformed the land into a Changeling Kingdom. As one of her lieutenants states that it could be a while before they can attack Celestia again, Chrysalis reveals that she no longer cares about Celestia and instead wants revenge on Twilight Sparkle for ruining her plan, explaining that she will bring Twilight and her friends to their kingdom at the time of the Secretariat Comet, and, when their emotions are peaked, she will drain Twilight of her magic.

In Issue #1, the Changelings imprisoned the ponies of Ponyville in cocoons and replaced them with changelings, but the Mane 6 defeated the changelings and rescued all the ponies except the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Chrysalis, giving the Mane 6 an communication orb through Spike, reveals that she has the Crusaders trapped in her lair and that they will have three days to rescue them. Chrysalis then ends the transmission upon being interrupted by Scootaloo.

In Issue #2, Chrysalis, watching over the Mane 6, is disappointed by a troll they encounter, remarking that they are "the most idiotic creatures", only for the Crusaders to start annoying her again, afterwards stating that trolls are the "second most idiotic creatures". Chrysalis then sends six Changelings to cause a cave-in when the ponies were traveling under the Appleloosan Mountains, separating them into pairs, then the changelings impersonated the other ponies and each insulted one of the other pairs within earshot, turning them against each other. Chrysalis found this amusing, but the Cutie Mark Crusaders continued to annoy her.

In Issue #3, Chrysalis recounts what happened to her after her defeat in Canterlot, to the Crusaders. Scootaloo questions what happened to the citizens of Wuvey-Dovey Smoochy Land, and Chrysalis tells her, that if they don't shut up, she'll show them. Chrysalis uses the orb to watch over Twilight, and orders several other Changelings to report on the actions of the other ponies. Chrysalis' guards inform her of the status of the others, and the Crusaders begin laughing at how the Mane 6 will eventually reunite and Chrysalis' plan will be foiled. Now enraged, Chrysalis reveals that it wasn't part of her plan to turn the Mane 6 against one another, but an added bonus, explaining that her true intentions are to destroy Twilight after draining her magic, causing her friends' emotions to spike and making them a big meal for the Changelings, and, afterwards, they will go back to Canterlot and take over. Taunting the Crusaders for their innocence, Chrysalis takes one of the citizens of Wuvey-Dovey Smoochy Land and (off screen) violently murders it in front of them. After the Mane 6 get back together, Chrysalis, still bothered by the Crusaders, moans that it will soon be over.

In Issue #4, Chrysalis decided she was done with the Cutie Mark Crusaders and wanted to be rid of them; it is unknown whether it was to banish them, kill them, or use them as food. After the Mane 6 enter the Changeling's castle, Chrysalis tells them to find her behind one of many doors, from which Mola Ram, Pennywise, the twins from The Shining, and the Phantom of the Opera appeared in pony form. Twilight discovers the correct door and Chrysalis asks her and the others the riddle "How is a Pegasus like a writing desk?" While the others are confused, Pinkie Pie answers the riddle by literally not answering it, and Chrysalis opens the door. In her throne room, the Mane 6 confront Chrysalis as she is arguing with the Crusaders, and a battle ensues, with Chrysalis attacking Twilight.

As they battle, Chrysalis tries to monologue about how love is worthless, and, being interrupted constantly, traps the rest of the Mane 6 inside cocoons. Angry and empowered by the Secretariat Comet, Twilight unleashes a powerful magic beam on Chrysalis, destroying everything around her. Deciding to alter her plans, Chrysalis offers to make Twilight her apprentice instead of draining her magic, threatening to harm her friends if she doesn't comply. Twilight reluctantly agrees to Chrysalis' terms and she releases Twilight's friends, only to reimprison them immediately afterwards, revealing that she will still drain Twilight of her love to make her more subservient, and then she will drain her own friends. Twilight and Chrysalis battle again, and, with the encouragement of her friends and the magic of the Secretariat Comet, Twilight singlehandedly overpowers Chrysalis and the Changelings. Chrysalis and her Changelings are then imprisoned in the castle, with Pinkie Pie's costume standing in the doorway, endlessly annoying them with riddles and songs that never end.

FIENDship is Magic Mini-Series

In Issue 5 of Fiendship is Magic, which is in continuity with The Return of Queen Chrysalis, the Mane 6 visit the imprisoned Chrysalis in her castle, which is under guard by royal guards, to make sure that her imprisonment is going according to plan, as she is to receive a thousand-year punishment for her crimes (which includes being banned from cake). By now she is in an extremely weakened state, as she and her minions barely eat any of their food. It is mentioned that a thousand years ago she destroyed the city of Timbucktu. As more of her exploits are told and shown, she offers her origin in exchange for the newest Daring Do novel, which Rainbow Dash possesses. When Twilight is about to exchange it, she becomes trapped in the prison by the Changelings as it is revealed that the weakened Chrysalis was a Changeling and the true Chrysalis was hiding and she ambushes Twilight and she explains her origin. She came from a swamp where a rotten acorn was dropped into an eerie lake which grew into a tree that fed on insects and Starswirl the Bearded appeared and upon seeing the lake, he put a sign on the tree to keep ponies from entering the lake, but the nail releases the bugs, which have evolved into equine beings along with Chrysalis. She and her subjects then proceed to attack Twilight and before the ponies can stop them, the Changeling overpower them and escape the jail, leaving the defeated ponies and Spike wounded.

Siege of the Crystal Empire Arc

In Siege of the Crystal Empire, Issue 34 of the comics, Chrysalis is recruited by Radiant Hope along with the Flim Flam Brothers, Lightning Dust, and Iron Will to attack the Crystal Empire as a diversion to keep every pony out of the castle so Radiant Hope could revive King Sombra. Chrysalis duels Twilight, but is defeated when Rarity blasts Iron Will and his goat into her with a cannon, and is captured with her fellow conspirators.

In Issue 35, once Sombra is revived, he releases Chrysalis and helps her defeat Twilight. Celestia and Luna arrive and fight Sombra and Chrysalis, respectively; when Luna gains the upper hand on Chrysalis, Sombra turns both princesses to stone.

In Issue 36, when Chrysalis finds out Sombra plans to release the Umbrum, she is against it, having witnessed the Umbrum attacking the Crystal Empire and causing despair, which changelings cannot feed off of, but when Sombra threatens to turn her to stone, she says she'll help him. This was merely to buy her enough time to escape, knowing she and her changelings could be killed by the Umbrum. She taunts the powerless Twilight and throws her out of her cage so she can be attacked by the Umbrum, and then flies with her changelings across the sea to parts unknown, leaving Lightning Dust, Iron Will, and the Flim Flam Brothers behind.

My Little Pony: Guardians of Harmony Annual 2017

In The Shadow Bolts, Chrysalis is mentioned to be attacking the Crystal Empire, she sent two of her changelings to distract Rainbow Dash from reaching the Canterlot.

In Big Spike, Chrysalis and her changelings are said to be seen heading for the Mane Six and Spike. After Shining Armor arrives with a potion he'd found in castle of the Crystal Empire. Spike is the only one who knows that the potion is for him but Twilight uses a bit of the potion and armors herself, her friends and Shining Armor and still doesn't listen to Spike. When Chrysalis and her changelings arrive, The Mane Six and Shining Armor battle them but are outnumbered and overpowered by the changelings quickly. When Twilight finally grants Spike's wish to have the potion used on him, he grows into a giant armored dragon and he drives Chrysalis and her changelings away with his dragon breath.

Cozy Glow

Cozy Glow is one of the main antagonists in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She appears as the main antagonist of Season 8, first appearing as the supporting character in the episode "Marks for Effort", then later "Friendship University" and "What Lies Beneath", and then finally reveals her true nature as the main antagonist in the finale, "School Raze". She's also one of the three main antagonists of Season 9 (alongside Queen Chrysalis and Tirek). She is also the former friend and now one of Twilight Sparkle's archenemies.

Cozy Glow was once a friend of the Cutie Mark Crusaders and the Young Six, and the former top student of Twilight Sparkle's School of Friendship as well as her Friendship Assistant. But then she revealed to also be Lord Tirek's protégé, who plotted to get rid of Twilight and her friends so that she can take her school and use it to rule Equestria. After she was stopped and exposed, she was then expelled from the school and imprisoned in Tartarus alongside her mentor, that becoming Twilight's new archenemy. Then they were released by "Grogar", (who was actually Discord in disguise) to join the Legion of Doom, but were ultimately defeated and petrified by the end of the series.

She was voiced by Sunni Westbrook.

Past

Not much of Cozy Glow's past is known. What is known is that she was a young, but evil pegasus orphan who uses her wits and charm to get whatever she wanted. At some point, she enrolled at Princess Twilight's School of Friendship with sinister motives.

Marks for Effort

Cozy Glow first appeared in "Marks for Effort" where she was crying outside the Cutie Mark Crusaders' clubhouse. The Crusaders approached her and asked what's wrong. Cozy answers that she is having difficulty with her lessons at the School of Friendship and fears flunking out. The Crusaders, wanting to attend the School of Friendship too, decide to help Cozy with doing her homework and assignments.

The Crusaders teach Cozy how to be friendly while doing nice deeds for Sweetie Drops, Mrs. Cake, and Big Macintosh. After Cozy gets an "A" on her assignment, the Crusaders assist her further by helping her study for an upcoming friendship exam, during which she learns about the values of friendship represented by the Elements of Harmony. However, Cozy fails the test and runs away, which causes Twilight to accuse them of intentionally tutoring badly out of spite for not being allowed into the School of Friendship themselves.

After Cozy saw what she did to the Crusaders, she decides to go to the school's guidance counselor and confesses that she failed the exam on purpose so that the Crusaders would be allowed to enroll at the School of Friendship. When the truth was revealed, Cozy finally apologized to the Crusaders for what she did to them. Finally, the Crusaders were accepted at the School of Friendship; not as students, but as tutors. Cozy is last seen leaving with her new friends as they set out to tutor more students.

A Matter of Principles

Cozy Glow makes a background appearances in "A Matter of Principals".

The Hearth's Warming Club

She makes another background appearance in "The Hearth's Warming Club" just as Twilight dismisses the students for the holiday break.

Friendship University

She appears again in "Friendship University", giving Twilight the flyers that inform her about Friendship U, and later appears after Rarity questions how Flim and Flam could have gotten a hold of the School of Friendship's lesson plans.

Road to Friendship

Cozy Glow also appears waiting in line for Starlight's counseling in "Road to Friendship".

A Rockhoof and a Hard Place

She makes a background appearance in "A Rockhoof and a Hard Place".

What Lies Beneath

In "What Lies Beneath", Cozy stays behind to help Twilight organize the library when she notices the Young Six having a difficult time studying for a friendship test. She manipulates them into doubting their confidence in their friendship by saying terrible things about each of their races and claiming that friendship "isn't in their nature." She then leaves to fetch her study notes to help them. At the end of the episode, the Young Six meet Cozy upon completing their journey underneath the school, where she learns about the Tree of Harmony's test on their friendship skills, which worries her. When they consider telling Twilight, she begs them not to out of fear of getting in trouble for making them doubt themselves, which they agree to. As the Young Six drift off to sleep in exhaustion, Cozy ominously looks at the vent where the Tree of Harmony is hidden.

School Raze

By the season finale episode "School Raze", Cozy Glow had become Twilight's top student and official "friendship assistant", helping her out with several tasks such as reorganizing the school's artifacts. But then all the magic in Equestria begins to disappear, and within 3 days, all of it will be gone forever. By Cozy's theory, Twilight assumes that the magic-stealing centaur, Lord Tirek is responsible, and decides to go with her friends to Tartarus to investigate. Cozy Glow believed that Twilight will leave her in charge in her own absence, but instead gives control to Starlight Glimmer, to which she agrees to.

However, the next day, Cozy informs the rest of the school that Starlight had left to join Twilight in her quest and has left her in control. When the Young Six question this, Cozy punishes them with extra homework. That night, they witness Cozy exiting the vent that leads to the Tree of Harmony's roots and they decide to follow her. When they reach the main office, they discover Chancellor Neighsay sitting in Twilight's chair as he assumes control over the school. He imprisons the Young Six save for Sandbar, who goes to the Cutie Mark Crusaders to help stop Neighsay. He suggests that they convince Cozy Glow to also help, but when they follow her down the same vent as before, they discover the horrible truth: She was the one responsible for Equestria's disappearing magic by stealing the school's artifacts and using them as a magnet to gather it all and send it away into another realm, thanks to advice from letters she's received from her pen pal, who was none other than Tirek, and even trapped Starlight in the vortex. She then explains that it was all part of her insane plan to get rid of Twilight and her friends so that she can take control of the School of Friendship and establish herself as the "Empress of Friendship".

Cozy attempts to convince Chancellor Neighsay to leave the school, but he refuses, so she orchestrates a student uprising to take back her position as a school headmare. Locking him in chains in the office, she then brags to the disgraced Chancellor how becoming head of the Twilight's school will allow her to become the most powerful pony in all of Equestria. As she leaves the office, the Cutie Mark Crusaders try to distract Cozy while the Young Six free Neighsay and Equestria's magic, but then locks them in a hall closet, as she was already aware of their deception. She then leads her student army to the room with the magic vortex, where they find the Young Six, and lies to the students that they are attempting to destroy the school. In the scuffle that followed, Gallus gets trapped in the vortex and the others try to save him, only to be trapped as well. Then the portal opens and Starlight and the Young Six are dragged in with Equestria's magic. Seeing their willingness to save one-another, the students question if they should save them, but Cozy insists that they be left to their fates. But as they leave, the Tree of Harmony, which had been empowered by the Young Six's friendship, saves them all and frees the Young Six so that they can stop Cozy's vortex, much to her shock. Sandbar instructs the others to get clear of the resulting blast and they listen, despite Cozy's demands for them to stop.

When all the magic has been returned to Equestria, Cozy Glow, having been slightly singed by the blast, curses the Young Six for foiling her plans. At that moment, Twilight and the others appear and show their anger at the student who betrayed them all. Cozy tries to save face, but the Mane Six and Spike reveal that Tirek had told them everything and Twilight admonishes her for believing that power was all that friendship was about. Cozy shows no remorse for her actions and tries to escape, but she is caught between the other students, the princesses, and Chancellor Neighsay, and the royal guards, forcing her to surrender. For her crimes and is figured to be too dangerous to wander around other places, not only was she expelled from Twilight's school, but she was also sentenced to imprisonment within Tartarus. There, she tries to make friends with Tirek as she smiled evilly.

The Beginning of the End

In "The Beginning of the End", while still imprisoned with him, Cozy Glow annoys Tirek by continuing to try and befriend him, before the both of them are suddenly transported out of Tartarus. Emerging within a mysterious cavern, Tirek and Cozy Glow are met by Queen Chrysalis, who immediately accuses them of summoning her, though Cozy Glow assures her that they thought she freed them. As this happens, King Sombra suddenly appears, causing the three to accuse him of summoning them, only for Discord (disguised as the ancient tyrant Grogar) to reveal himself to be the one who was responsible for summoning them. Tirek, Chrysalis, and Sombra are shocked to see him, as they believed he was only a legend, though "Grogar" assures them that he is real and states that he summoned them as part of his plan to rid Equestria of Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

Seeing that Cozy Glow does not know who he is, "Grogar" decides to demonstrate his power by giving Tirek a sample of magic that revives much of his strength. Tirek then tells Cozy Glow that "Grogar" is ancient and extremely powerful, as well as the former ruler of what would become Equestria, claiming that he had heard stories of his tyranny when he was younger. "Grogar" then tells the villains of how he created monsters that roamed the land and took whatever they wanted under his rule, before Chrysalis remarks how he was banished by Gusty the Great, although "Grogar" claims that he was only temporarily weakened when she took his bell; however, Cozy Glow points out that, since he has been weakened before even Tirek was born, he has a very different idea of what "temporarily" means, much to his annoyance. In reality, Gusty the Great really did banish the real Grogar into limbo, from where there is no return.

"Grogar" proceeds to tell the group that he has watched them and their failures to take over Equestria, and asks them why they have always been defeated by the same six ponies each time, with Cozy Glow stating that she's just a kid. "Grogar" rebuffs their answers and claims it is because their enemies work together as a team, demanding that the villains join forces with him to take over Equestria. Sombra, however, refuses to serve "Grogar" and arrogantly proclaims that he will take over the Crystal Empire by himself, causing "Grogar" to send him off to the Empire on the conditions that, if he fails, he will serve him or be destroyed again. After this, "Grogar" tells the others to prepare to work together and leaves. Cozy Glow immediately compares working together to making friends, telling Tirek and Chrysalis that they are in luck since she knows "all about that", though the former only flicks her away in annoyance.

Cozy Glow tries to get Tirek and Chrysalis to work together by having them each says nice things to each other, though this falls apart when Chrysalis refuses to say anything nice about ponies. "Grogar" then approaches them and states that he hopes the three of them will be enough to help his plans along, causing Tirek and Chrysalis to ask about Sombra. "Grogar" shows them that Sombra had failed in his plans to conquer Equestria and had again been defeated by the Mane Six, remarking that he will at least serve as an example to them as what will happen if they don't submit to his plans. Having seen this, Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow unanimously agree to serve "Grogar", though they are seemingly left nervous by the thought.

Uprooted

Cozy Glow does not appear in "Uprooted", but she is indirectly mentioned by Yona when she recalls how she and her friends defeated Cozy Glow.

She's All Yak

Cozy Glow also does not appear in "She's All Yak", but she is directly mentioned by Sandbar when he lists her and Sombra as two ponies worse than Yona.

Frenemies

In "Frenemies", as "Grogar" is working, Cozy Glow approaches him and tattles on Tirek for leaving food out, Tirek quickly approaching "Grogar" and telling him not to trust anything she says afterwards; though "Grogar" is quick to point out that he already doesn't trust anything that they say. After being annoyed by Chrysalis, "Grogar" informs the villains that he is leaving and demands that they all stop fighting and find a way to work together so that they can accomplish their goals. Cozy Glow assumes herself in charge and plans a team meeting. She approaches Tirek about it, which he agrees to go so long as she leaves him be. Cozy then approaches Chrysalis, who also agrees to go as long as there are cupcakes. At the meeting, Cozy Glow encourages the fact that they all need to trust one another, which Chrysalis finds hard to do as Tirek is trying to steal her magic. Tirek firmly denies doing such a thing (returning the magic he actually had stole to a cupcake that Chrysalis devours) and calls her out for constantly ranting to her log, before joining Chrysalis in telling Cozy Glow that she wasn't left in charge. Cozy Glow then tries to get them all to agree with one another over their common goals, leading them all into singing "Better Way to be Bad" with one another, only for them all to devolve into bickering.

"Grogar" returns to see this, and, upset to see they have not yet resolved their differences, decides to send them off on a mission to retrieve his Bewitching Bell from Mt. Everhoof so that they can learn to work together. Cozy Glow and the others fight over who should lead the mission based on their previous feats, only for "Grogar" to angrily overpower and remind them that they all failed before and cannot work alone. Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, all of the villains immediately split off and begin to find their own ways of getting up; Cozy Glow trekking up the mountain path until she comes across the residence of Rusty Bucket. She tries to pretend that she's a lost little filly in order to get Rusty to take her to the peak of the mountain but he refuses. This causes her to lose her temper but Rusty tells her to stay quiet or she will cause an avalanche. She tries different ways of getting past but keeps failing. This causes her to become angry which causes a giant snowball to fall on her and take her back to the bottom. Cozy Glow returns and finds that Tirek made a camp for himself. He proceeds to laugh at Cozy Glow upon seeing her return and explains to her that he had already deduced that getting up the mountain by himself would be impossible, and so had planned to wait for her and Chrysalis to fail so that he could take what they learned and use it to his advantage. Cozy Glow and Tirek proceed to bicker — Tirek calling her out for her fake cutesy persona and constant manipulations, and Cozy Glow criticizing his arrogance, while also mocking him for talking to his "Gram Gram" in his sleep — until they are approached by an Ophiotaurus, which they both blame each other for attracting. Suddenly, a female Ophiotaurus arrives and seduces the other one, Tirek quickly realizing that the former is actually Chrysalis in disguise, who admits that she needs their help, causing Tirek to gloat about his own strategy.

That night, Cozy Glow and the others proceed to bond with each other over their previous endeavors; her remarking about how she almost caused all of Equestria's magic to disappear and it would have been worthwhile if it meant seeing Twilight and her friends defeated, also admitting that working with Chrysalis and Tirek may not be such a bad thing. The next day, the three villains proceed to combine their abilities in order to scale the mountain, only to find that the cave at the top is protected by a magical barrier, which Tirek cannot absorb since he can only take magic from living beings. With some convincing, Chrysalis allows Tirek to take her magic to become powerful enough to create an opening in the barrier, allowing Cozy Glow to enter the cave and retrieve the bell. Tirek then returns Chrysalis' magic, stating that he wasn't sure he would do so and that it seemed smarter to work with her than fight. The villains begin to reflect with one another over how it felt to rely on others for a change, before Chrysalis snaps them out of it, not wanting the friendship to infect her like it did her hive. Realizing that they almost reformed, the three vow to remain focused.

The three then concur that "Grogar" has grown too powerful and decides to betray him together, and Cozy Glow agreeing due to her love of backstabbing before wondering what they can do with the bell. She and the others later return to "Grogar's" lair and fool him into thinking that they failed while yet still becoming allies, though in reality have kept the bell for themselves.

The Summer Sun Setback

In The Summer Sun Setback, Cozy Glow sees "Grogar" leaving and asks where he is going. He reveals that since his minions "failed" to recover the Bewitching Bell for him, they will need another source of power to defeat Twilight and her friends. After "Grogar" leaves, Cozy Glow informs Chrysalis and Tirek that he is gone. The villain's voice that they don't trust "Grogar" and try to figure out how to use his bell-like ringing it but nothing happens. Cozy Glow then points out that Twilight mentioned that the Archives in Canterlot has a restricted area and the villains set off on their "road trip".

The three villains hide in Canterlot and only Chrysalis and Tirek notice so many ponies out in the night. Cozy Glow reveals that it's the Summer Sun Celebration with Chrysalis asking how many holidays these ponies have. She believes that it will be easy to get in until Tirek points out that Canterlot has increased security. After Chrysalis fails to enter through the main doors, she returns to her allies and informs that it will be more challenging. The villains then overhear Twilight's friends and Discord talking about their responsibilities for the holiday. Tirek believes it to be impossible since the security is increased with Twilight's friends "bumbling about". However, Chrysalis sees it as an advantage to using as a distraction since they heard everything and gives instructions to Tirek and Cozy Glow.

While Chrysalis and Tirek secretly sabotage the unicorns and Earth ponies, Cozy Glow sabotages the Pegasi by tricking Feather Flatterfly into letting her handle the "small stuff" while he focuses on the "big picture" and he allows her to handle the weather changes delicately. But instead, she makes several intentional mistakes that cause the weather to spiral completely out of control and the pegasi to become overwhelmed trying to contain it.

The villains watch all the panic and chaos unfold before deciding to incapacitate the security. Cozy Glow distracts a guard while Tirek steals his magic and Chrysalis uses his star badge to the main doors for them to enter. They search for the archives which also wakes up a security goose that follows them. However, Chrysalis disguises herself as another security goose to get it to leave and the villains finally find and break into the Archives. They search through the Archives until Cozy Glow finds a book about how to use the Bewitching Bell and uses another book to break it out of its chains.

This gives the villains time to leave Canterlot back to "Grogar's" lair while Twilight and her friends are able to fix the holiday. "Grogar" also returns tells his cohorts that he has found success where they all find "failure". He reveals that he located what he wanted and will retrieve it the next day before they begin his plan to take over Equestria. Tirek is still sulking that he had to give the magic of the Earth ponies back to them, in which Chrysalis and Cozy Glow tell him to stop doing and remind him that "Grogar" would become suspicious if he found out about their "road trip" in which Tirek claims that he doesn't have to like it. Cozy Glow reveals that she didn't like it when the Mane Six managed to fix the holiday until Chrysalis reveals that the goal was not to destroy but to distract in order to get the book. Tirek reminds them that they can't waste any more time because they must master the bell before "Grogar" returns. Chrysalis reveals that they managed to stay ahead of everyone so far until Cozy Glow remarks how easy it was to turn the Earth ponies, unicorns and Pegasi against each other, in which Chrysalis decides would be something to think about.

The Ending of the End

Cozy Glow turns pegasi against earth ponies and unicorns before she, Chrysalis, and Tirek use Grogar's bell to absorb his old magic, turning Cozy Glow into an alicorn. When "Grogar" returns, they drain his magic into the bell, discovering him to be Discord. When Chrysalis and Tirek debate whether to absorb Discord's magic, Cozy Glow volunteers to test this, to which Chrysalis and Tirek immediately agree. Cozy Glow is transformed into a giant demonic alicorn, but as she is unable to control Discord's magic she has Chrysalis and Tirek take it back into the bell, before they set out to conquer Equestria.

Cozy Glow goes after Celestia and Luna at Canterlot, and when they try to banish her in a similar style to King Sombra, she drains their magic into Grogar's bell. The Mane 6 gain the upper hand on Cozy Glow before Chrysalis and Tirek come to her rescue. They destroy half of Canterlot and try to kill Twilight together, but Rarity throws a chunk of rubble at them. They quickly recover and shoot a combined magic blast at Twilight, but the other Mane 5, Spike, Celestia, Luna, and Discord hold it back so Twilight can escape and think of a plan.

In Part 2, The other Mane 5, Spike, Celestia, Luna, and Discord are imprisoned in the caves beneath Canterlot along with Starlight Glimmer and the Pillars of Equestria. Cozy Glow sadistically plans to kill them but Chrysalis argues they should torture them and show Equestria that they've broken its heroes, while Tirek insists they should hunt down Twilight. Cozy Glow tries to take Celestia and Luna's magic with the bell, leading to an argument with Chrysalis and Tirek. Discord tricks Tirek and releases the others, and the other Mane 5 and Spike run off to get Twilight while the others fight Cozy Glow, Chrysalis, and Tirek as a distraction.

After their opponents are reimprisoned, the Windigos appear, to which Cozy Glow doesn't feel like doing much in the cold they cause. The Mane 6 and Spike return, and during a fight to try to get the bell back, Cozy Glow chases after Rainbow Dash, who was part of the distraction, and to protect the bell, she taunts Fluttershy and blasts her. When Chrysalis threatens Spike, the villains nearly destroy the Mane 6, but the unicorns protect them with a barrier, and most of their allies enter the battle.

In the end, the Mane 6, Spike, the Young Six, and the Pillars unleash a rainbow which destroys the Windigos and drains Grogar's magic from Cozy Glow, Chrysalis, and Tirek. After Pinkie Pie drops a giant cupcake on them with Discord's magic, which, along with the alicorns' magic, is returned to their owners, Celestia, Luna, and Discord turn Cozy Glow, along with Chrysalis and Tirek, to stone forever as punishment for their crimes, ending their threats for good. Thus, Cozy Glow was finally defeated for good.

The Last Problem

The statues of Cozy Glow, Tirek, and Queen Chrysalis, briefly appear in a newspaper Twilight Sparkle shows to Spike. It is unknown if she is still a stone statue after the timeskip, as their stone forms are only seen in the flashback portions. In response to a question as to whether she would be all right, Jim Miller said "Cozy's fine. Just in suspended animation." Indicating she, as well as Chrysalis and Tirek, are asleep for their stoning, unlike Discord. The use of present tense could imply they are still trapped in stone as of the epilogue, though this has yet to be confirmed. Either way, they likely will never be able to hurt any creature again.

King Sombra

King Sombra is one of the major antagonists of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. He appears as the main antagonist of the season 3 premiere "The Crystal Empire" and the season 9 premiere "The Beginning of the End". He is also the supporting antagonist in the season five finale "The Cutie Re-Mark", and a posthumous antagonist in the season six premiere "The Crystalling" and the rest of season 9. He is also one of Twilight Sparkle's archenemies.

He is a dark and tyrannical unicorn and the former ruler of the Crystal Empire who is bent on reconquering the empire and later taking over all of Equestria. In Season 3, he returned alongside the Empire and plans to retake it so he can regain his physical form and conquer Equestria with his army of mind-controlled slaves. However, his plans were thwarted by Cadance, Spike, The Mane Six, and the Crystal Ponies, and he was defeated and destroyed. In Season 9, Sombra was restored by Grogar (who is Discord in disguise) to join his team of villains so they can conquer Equestria together. However, Sombra refused to join the team and he goes out to conquer Equestria on his own. He managed to destroy the Tree and Elements of Harmony and succeeded in conquering both Ponyville and Canterlot. However, he was defeated once again by the Mane Six.

In the IDW MLP comics, he appears as the secondary antagonist in the 13th story arc Siege Of The Crystal Empire; the real main antagonist being his "mother" Rabia. In the IDW comics, it is stated that Sombra is actually an Umbrum created to destroy the Crystal Heart and release the Umbrum army trapped underneath the Crystal Empire; although this is considered to be non-canonical to the series.

He was voiced by Jim Miller in Season 3, and was voiced by Alvin Sanders in Season 9.

Past

King Sombra's early life is left completely unknown in the TV series (unlike the comics). It can be speculated that Sombra was once a normal unicorn, possibly a resident of the Crystal Empire, until he began studying dark magic, and had delved so deep in it that it mutated him into the tyrannical abomination he is today. It is also implied that Sombra murdered the previous Queen of the Crystal Empire so he can take over the Empire.

What is known is that King Sombra was a powerful unicorn whose heart is said to be as black as night. He took control of the Crystal Empire and enslaved the crystal ponies, and most likely planned to do the same with the rest of Equestria. Fortunately, Celestia and Luna arrived and used their combined magic to depose him, turning him to shadow and banishing him to the Arctic North, ultimately sealing him into a crevice of ice which closed up. However, he foresaw this and placed a curse upon the Crystal Empire that caused it to disappear for a thousand years out of spite.

Season 3 The Crystal Empire

The Crystal Empire reappears, but the crystal ponies have no memory of their kingdom before Sombra took over, and the mere memory of him causes them pain. Sombra returns along with the Crystal Empire and tries to conquer it again, but Princess Cadance was able to cast a protection spell around it which kept him out. When Twilight Sparkle and her friends came to the Crystal Empire to protect it, Sombra chased after them in shadow form, but they got through the barrier, although he attacked Shining Armor he survived, his horn was cursed so that he could not use his magic.

When Cadance began to run out of power to perform the spell, the barrier briefly deactivated, allowing Sombra to invade. Sombra's horn was broken off as the barrier reactivated, and he transformed it into a dark crystal that began to create more dark crystals in the Crystal Empire.

Twilight and Spike searched for the Crystal Heart, the key to protecting the empire, inside the castle, where nobody would dare to look. They ran into a door enchanted by Sombra to hypnotize them into confronting their worst fears. In Twilight's case, she thought Celestia told her that she failed her test and wouldn't continue her studies, only for Spike to snap her out of the trance. Spike gets brainwashed too and thought Twilight was banishing him, but Twilight saw through the enchanted door's purpose and shuts it, releasing Spike from the spell and comforting him about his fear.

Eventually, they reached the Crystal Heart, but Sombra, was finally able to enter once Cadance was no longer able to perform her spell, trapping Twilight in a wall of dark crystals, keeping her from the Crystal Heart once she triggers a trap.

With no way out, Twilight entrusts Spike to take the Crystal Heart to Cadance. Returning to his physical form, Sombra tried to spear Spike with a dark crystal, but Cadance saved him from the attack. She then returned the Crystal Heart, and together with the crystal ponies used its power to unleash a wave of magic that restored the Crystal Empire and destroyed Sombra, shattering him to pieces.

King Sombra was briefly referenced in the episode, "Games Ponies Play". Twilight also briefly uses his magic in "Princess Twilight Sparkle".

Season 5 The Cutie Re-Mark

The first of many alternate timelines temporarily created by Starlight Glimmer, King Sombra is in power and ruling over the Crystal Empire with the iron hoof, having never been killed by Princess Cadance due to the change in the timeline, he made the crystal ponies fight for him against the rest of Equestria, fighting a war with Celestia. He was winning the war as he managed to take half of Equestria.

Season 6 The Crystalling

King Sombra was mentioned again a couple of times in the Season 6 premiere "The Crystallising". Spike mentions King Sombra while telling the Crystal Ponies about how he was defeated. Twilight later reveals the reason that King Sombra merely hid the Crystal Heart in his castle is to prevent the Frozen North's weather from breaching the Empire. This explains why Sombra never destroyed the Crystal Heart in the first place.

Season 7 Shadow Play

Pinkie Pie mentions Sombra while recounting the threats Equestria has faced over the last thousand years to Star Swirl the Bearded.

Season 9 The Beginning of the End

King Sombra is revived by Discord (who was in the form of the ancient tyrant Grogar) and is summoned to his lair, where Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, and Cozy Glow accuse him of being the one who summoned them there. However, "Grogar" reveals himself as being the one to summon them, much to the villains' astonishment, as they had all thought he was a legend (except for Cozy Glow, who had never heard of him before). "Grogar" proceeds to tell the group of his plans to eliminate Twilight Sparkle and her friends and demonstrates his power by giving Tirek enough magic to partially revive his strength, also causing him to tell Cozy Glow of the stories that he had heard of "Grogar" when he was younger and for Sombra to do the same afterwards. "Grogar" goes on to state that he's been watching over all of them and asks them why they think that they've always been beaten by the same six ponies, Chrysalis interrupting Sombra before he can respond. "Grogar" rebuffs all of their answers and points out that the Mane 6 have always won because they work as a team, and demands that they all do the same in order to take over Equestria.

However, Sombra refuses to join "Grogar", claiming that he will take the Crystal Empire back for himself and destroy anyone who gets in his way. Unphased by this, "Grogar" tells Sombra to go and try to take over the Empire again, even offering to transport him there on the conditions that he can keep it if he succeeds, but will serve him once he fails, claiming he will destroy him again if he refuses to abide by his terms. Sombra agrees and proceeds to arrogantly proclaim how he will overtake the Empire, before an annoyed "Grogar" whisks him away. Sombra proceeds to lay siege to the Crystal Empire with ease, brainwashing the crystal ponies and royal guards into serving him as he approaches the castle. Inside, Princess Cadence sends out a message to Twilight before she and Shining Armor notice that Flurry Heart is missing and find her in Sombra's clutches. Sombra then forces Shining Armor and Cadence to surrender, capturing the Crystal Heart and fully taking over the Crystal Empire afterwards.

Upon receiving Cadence's message and summoning her friends, Twilight decides to retrieve the Elements of Harmony from the Tree of Harmony to defeat Sombra. Back at the Empire, Sombra is seen relaxing on his throne, amused by Flurry Heart's attempts at attacking him, only for the Mane 6 to arrive to challenge him. Unconcerned, Sombra forces his opponents to endure their own worst fears (making Twilight see a vision of all of her friends being controlled by Sombra while Princess Celestia and Luna show disappointment in her, turning them into Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker as a result), and suggests that they should surrender, as nothing can beat their own fears. However, Twilight and the others overpower Sombra's visions with the Elements, revealing that they were only facing their fears long enough for Spike to free his captives.

Cadence then reclaims the Crystal Heart and uses it to dispel Sombra's influence from the Empire, freeing everyone from his control. In spite of this, Sombra proclaims that he will win in the end, before being seemingly destroyed by the Elements. Having saved the Empire again, Twilight and the Mane 6 return the Elements to the tree, only for Sombra to appear and destroy both.

Sombra reveals that his supposed demise back at the Crystal Empire was merely a ruse to fool the Mane 6 in so that he could trace them back to their source of power and destroy it; and now that he has done so, they will be unable to stop him. Despite this, the Mane 6, minus a disheartened Twilight, try to fight back against him, only for Sombra to imprison them all, realizing that, with them out of the way, he can conquer all of Equestria for himself, planning to overtake Ponyville first. Sombra then considers using his magic to brainwash the Mane 6 as well, but decides against it, as he is already forcing them to endure their worst fear by taking control of Equestria anyway before leaving. Sombra goes on to brainwash all of Ponyville — including Spike, Starlight Glimmer, the Cutie Mark Crusaders and the Mane 6's other friends—into becoming his slaves and takes them to conquer Canterlot, while the Mane 6 are forced to deal with the Everfree Forest's overgrowth thanks to the Tree's destruction.

Sombra storms Canterlot with ease thanks to his brainwashed army, and barges into the Princess' throne room, only to find that it is empty, making him believe that Celestia and Luna had run away from him in fear. Soon, the Mane 6 arrive in the Princess' throne room with Discord (back in his true form) and engages Sombra, who attempts to blast them with magic. However, Discord dispels all of Sombra's attacks with ease while commenting that, even though he expected Twilight and the others to handle things by themselves, they still win because he is their friend, though in doing so he accidentally prompts Sombra to target Fluttershy instead, making Discord take the blast for her. Sombra gloats at his victory and begins to decide how he will eliminate the rest of his enemies, while, at the same time, Discord gives his friends a heartfelt speech about how they don't need him or the Elements to beat Sombra since all they have ever needed to win is each other.

Disregarding Discord's claims, Sombra attacks the Mane 6, who, now inspired, begin to fight back, generating more magic than ever. Baffled, Sombra demands to know how the Mane 6 have the ability to stand up to him even when he destroyed the source of their power, although Twilight claims that he never did, with her and the others reminding him that friendship is magic, before using their power to destroy him once again and remove his influence from Equestria. Due to how powerful the Mane 6's magic was, Sombra's skin was tearing itself apart while he quickly turns to dust as well and disappears into the light, destroying him once and for all.

Later, Celestia and Luna return from fending off the Everfree Forest and state that they will hold off on making Twilight and her friends the new rulers of Equestria until Twilight feels she is ready, causing Discord to reveal that he faked his injuries in an effort to push Twilight to become the great leader he knows she is, additionally revealing that he could have defeated Sombra any time he wanted. Back at "Grogar's" lair, Tirek and Chrysalis ask him about how Sombra's plan went, and "Grogar" shows them that he had been defeated yet again. Choosing not to revive him a second time, Discord (back in his Grogar disguise) uses Sombra's destruction as an example to the others of what happens when they try to abandon his plans, making them nervously agree to serve him.

Legacy

King Sombra is mentioned a few times in the episode, "Uprooted".

He is also mentioned in "Sparkle's Seven", where it is shown that Princesses Celestia and Luna decided to have Shining Armor increase security in Canterlot following Sombra's previous attack on it.

In "She's All Yak", Sandbar lists King Sombra and Cozy Glow as two ponies worse than Yona.

He is briefly mentioned in "The Last Crusade" by Mane Allgood, who lists him as one of the main reasons why she and her husband Snap Shutter decided to come to Ponyville and spend time with their daughter, Scootaloo.

In "The Ending of the End - Part 1", Sombra is mentioned a number of times when it is revealed that Discord had been posing as Grogar and was using him and the other villains to create a threat that would push Twilight and her friends into becoming confident rulers of Equestria. In "Part 2", Twilight has a picture of Sombra included in a thought chart when trying to come up with a way to defeat Tirek, Queen Chrysalis and Cozy Glow.

Reflections

King Sombra of a parallel world appears in the seventh arc (Issues 17-20) of the comics. He is the polar opposite of the Sombra from the show, as he is a good ruler of the parallel world where Celestia and Luna are evil. He is in love with Celestia of Prime Equestria.

However, this version of Sombra would suffer a terrible fate in allowing himself to be taken by evil to protect his beloved Celestia and both their worlds from destruction, becoming just like the King Sombra from Celestia's world. But even after being taken by evil, this Sombra mourns his beloved Celestia, now lost to him, possibly forever.

In Friends Forever #4, it is shown how King Sombra captured a Crystal Bard and enslaved him, making him read books for him after the Crystal Bard escaped King Sombra with his royal guards trying to recapture him but the Crystal Bard became smarter than him.

Fiendship is Magic

In Issue 1, Sombra's backstory (at least in comic canon, in which Amore has a different cutie mark than described in the Journal of the Two Sisters) is revealed; he was an Umbrum disguised as a pony to enter Equestria and release the other Umbrum, who were imprisoned in another dimension. Sombra initially didn't want to turn evil, and was friends with Radiant Hope, and was affected by the power of the Crystal Heart, but after a talk with the Umbrum, he embraced his dark side. He turned Princess Amore to crystal and shattered her to pieces, before being banished by Celestia and Luna, but he threw Radiant Hope outside of the Crystal Empire. In the present, it is shown that Sombra is now a ghost tied to his horn.

Siege of the Crystal Empire

In Issue #34, Radiant Hope recruits Queen Chrysalis, Lightning Dust, Iron Will, and the Flim Flam Brothers to attack the Crystal Empire as a distraction while she finds Sombra's spirit and horn, and uses her healing magic to bring him back to life.

In Issue #35, Sombra releases the imprisoned villains, and he encrusts Twilight's horn with dark crystals, allowing Chrysalis to defeat her. Celestia and Luna arrive to fight Sombra and Chrysalis, but due to Hope's intervention, Sombra turns Celestia and Luna to stone.

In Issue #36, Sombra and Chrysalis get into an argument when Chrysalis is against Sombra's plan to release the Umbrum, knowing they will cause despair, thus preventing her from feeding off love. Threatened with being turned to stone, Chrysalis retreats with her Changelings. After Princess Cadance and Hope discover what the Umbrum are really like, Hope tries to convince Sombra not to release them. Twilight arrives, having been restored by the other Mane 5 with the power of friendship, and shoots a magic beam at Sombra, but Hope jumps in front of him and takes the hit. Sombra then releases the Umbrum.

In Issue #37, Sombra, now emperor, turns Shining Armor to stone at the command of Lady Rabia in a reference to Governor Tarkin destroying Alderaan. He is about to do the same to Twilight and Cadance when Twilight tells them to do this at the dais where the Crystal Heart is so everypony can see it happen. Sombra goes to take Hope with him, to which she reveals that her supposed destiny of becoming a princess did not come true because she left her training to look for him. Sombra was affected by the realization that not only was the Crystal Heart's prediction not true, but she chose him over becoming a princess. When the "rebels" attack the Umbrum, Rabia tells Sombra to eliminate Twilight and Cadance and Hope takes out the Crystal Heart. Rabia tells Sombra to smash it, but instead, he unleashes its power, re-imprisoning the Umbrum and saving the Crystal Empire. Sombra is disintegrated by the Crystal Heart's power, but before he can be completely destroyed, Hope saves him with her magic, and together she and all four princesses restore him to physical form, turning him into an actual pony similar in appearance to his mirror-world counterpart. Together, Sombra and Hope decide to restore Princess Amore.

Nightmare Moon

Nightmare Moon is a major antagonist of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She appears as the main antagonist of the Season 1 premiere, "Friendship is Magic", and as the secondary antagonist in the Season 5 finale, "The Cutie Re-Mark" and the Season 7 episode, "A Royal Problem". She also appeared as a flashback antagonist in the Season 4 premiere, "Princess Twilight Sparkle" and a minor antagonist in the Season 9 premiere, "The Beginning of the End".

She is the corrupted form of Princess Luna, the younger sister of Princess Celestia who was consumed by her own jealousy toward her older sister. As Nightmare Moon, she acted as Celestia's archenemy until she was restored to her normal form by the Mane Six.

It is unclear if "Nightmare Moon" is an entity that possessed Luna or not; the show seems to lean that Nightmare Moon is Luna's alternate personality but the comics state that Luna was corrupted during her time on the moon.

Past

Long ago, Luna and Celestia were both the rulers of Equestria, a land inhabited by ponies. Every morning, Celestia would raise the sun, and every evening, Luna would raise the moon. Together, they kept the balance perfectly. However, as time went on, Luna grew jealous: the ponies would be awake to enjoy the day and love, admire, and appreciate Celestia's work, but would always "shun" Luna's night by sleeping through it.

One day, Luna finally became fed up with Celestia's success. Not only did she refuse to lower the moon, but also challenged Celestia for the sole rulership of Equestria. At that moment, the bitterness in Luna's heart manifested and consumed her, transforming her into Nightmare Moon, a black mare of pure darkness. Celestia did not want to fight Nightmare Moon and begged her to lower the moon, but Nightmare Moon said her only royal duty was to destroy Celestia, and shot at her elder sister with magic beams, eventually knocking her down. Seeing no other way, Celestia reluctantly used the Elements of Harmony to overpower Nightmare Moon and banish her into the moon, creating the phenomenon known as "the Mare in the Moon" (a unicorn's face imprinted upon the surface of the moon).

Since then, Celestia took full responsibility of raising the sun and the moon, and a holiday was created to celebrate Celestia's victory over Nightmare Moon called the Summer Sun Celebration. However, Celestia only felt loneliness and regret for having to send her own sister away. In addition, it was prophesied that in a thousand years, on the longest day of that year, Nightmare Moon would be free of her imprisonment to seek her revenge.

Season 1

Upon reading an ancient legend, Twilight Sparkle realized Nightmare Moon is about to return, however her mentor, Princess Celestia, encouraged her to make friends instead of worrying about the supposed "old pony's tale". Unfortunately, Twilight turned out to be right and Nightmare Moon was released during the Summer Sun Celebration, replacing Celestia who was supposed to attend it. Twilight and her soon-to-be friends chased Nightmare Moon into the forbidden Everfree Forest.

After conquering many obstacles left by Nightmare Moon in their path, they finally found the twisted mare herself along with the ancient Elements of Harmony, now reduced to inert stones. As Nightmare Moon whisked the Elements away, Twilight followed her into the portal and confronted her alone. She tried to use the Elements of Harmony as Celestia did, but for that, she had to find the "spark" that would make a sixth Element appear. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make the spark, and Nightmare Moon destroyed the Elements.

Fortunately, when Twilight heard her new pony friends calling for her, she felt a different spark in her heart; making her realize that the real Elements are not just some stones: they exist in the hearts of her friends. That spark triggered the final element: Magic (also known, of course, as Friendship), and reanimated the shattered Elements, converting them into jewels for the six friends to bear. Using the Elements of Harmony, Twilight activated a spell that struck Nightmare Moon, exorcising the darkness from her and transforming her back into Princess Luna.

Celestia arrived in the ruins where the battle took place, admitting that she knew of Nightmare Moon's return, but knew the only way to defeat her was for Twilight to understand the importance of friendship. Celestia walked over to a cowering Luna, who apologized in tears for her actions, and was granted forgiveness. Later at the celebration (held by Pinkie Pie), even the other ponies forgave Luna, gifting her with a flower necklace.

Season 2

In the season 2 episode "Luna Eclipsed", Princess Luna, now uncorrupted (And with a new look. Lauren Faust, the show's creator, stated that this was because when Nightmare Moon was defeated, Luna was reborn with very low magic levels, and she transformed after getting her good powers back), returns to Ponyville during the holiday Nightmare Night, a holiday dedicated to Nightmare Moon depicting her as a scary bogeyman. Luna, with Twilight's help, tries to change her image from that of the terrifying Nightmare Moon, to a favorable one as Princess. Unfortunately, the nature of the holiday, combined with Luna's outdated mannerisms and flair for the dramatic, make her subjects more scared of her than ever. Her first attempts end disastrously, prompting her to decree Nightmare Night canceled, but Twilight persuades her to give Ponyville another chance. When Luna discovers that the residents actually enjoy being scared as part of the night's festivities, she uses the Nightmare Moon persona to help them have fun and thus gains their trust and friendship, particular that of a colt named Pipsqueak.

Season 4

During the Season 4 premiere two-parter, "Princess Twilight Sparkle", Twilight attempts to figure out the source of the chaos seizing Equestria by drinking a potion which gives her flashbacks of the past. One of the flashbacks she experiences is of Luna becoming Nightmare Moon and assaulting Princess Celestia. At first, Celestia is reluctant to fight her sister, but Nightmare Moon assaults her with dark beams and eventually wounds her, sending her plummeting to the ground. However, Celestia promptly recovers and arms herself with the Elements of Harmony, the power of which she channels into a powerful beam that overwhelms Nightmare Moon's defenses and seals her inside the moon.

Season 5

In the episode "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?", it is revealed that Luna never truly forgave herself for her transformation into Nightmare Moon and created a creature known as the Tantabus to punish her by turning her dreams into nightmares about Nightmare Moon. However, when the Mane 6 mysteriously show up and try to defeat the Tantabus, it becomes aware of their existence and leaves Luna to infiltrate their dreams. Luna and the Mane 6 try to fight off the monster, but the problem becomes worse when Pinkie Pie dreams of sharing a giant ice cream sundae with all the ponies in the entire town, giving the monster knowledge of all the residents of Ponyville. Luna uses her power to bring all of the citizens of Ponyville into the same dream and they try to use their dream abilities to bring down the Tantabus and prevent it from reaching the real world. Despite their best efforts, the monster becomes too powerful for them to fight off and it heads for the real world. Twilight realizes that Luna's guilt is what's fueling the monster and causing it to grow bigger. Twilight and her friends make her see that she and Nightmare Moon are not the same, that Luna is doing everything she can to save Equestria from the Tantabus at her own risk and that she is not alone, that everyone from the Mane 6 to all of Ponyville and beyond trust her completely and implore her to trust them on this. A tearful Luna finally lets go of the past and is now able to finally forgive herself, destroying the Tantabus, and sleeping happily and peacefully for the first time in a millennium.

In the third of many alternate timelines created by Starlight Glimmer in the season finale "The Cutie Re-Mark", Nightmare Moon is in power, having imprisoned Celestia in the moon for years and with Rarity and Rainbow Dash working for her. When Twilight mentions time travel, Nightmare Moon tries to force her to lead her back in time to stop the Elements of Harmony from being found, threatening Spike. She shatters the Timberwolves that attacked Twilight and Spike, but with teleportation, Twilight gets Spike away from Nightmare Moon and travels back in time again in another attempt to fix the timeline.

Season 7

In "A Royal Problem", Starlight Glimmer has a nightmare in which her fears of accidentally driving Celestia and Luna farther apart by switching their cutie-marks result in Luna transforming back into Nightmare Moon. As Celestia (having taken over Luna's duties) prepares to fight Nightmare Moon, Daybreaker, an evil version of Celestia, emerges, stating that, if Luna can turn into Nightmare Moon, Celestia can turn into Daybreaker. Daybreaker then states that Celestia doesn't need Luna and then engages Nightmare soon in battle, stating that she shouldn't have banished her, but destroyed her instead. Celestia tries to stop the fight, however, Daybreaker refuses and continues trying to destroy Nightmare Moon, forcing Celestia to visit Luna's dream and get her help. As Celestia and Luna return to Starlight's dream and reconcile, Daybreaker manages to overpower Nightmare Moon and begins blasting at her again, however, Celestia teleports between their beams, and erases both of them from Starlight's dream.

Season 9

In "The Beginning of the End - Part 1", Nightmare Moon appears briefly alongside Daybreaker in Twilight's vision caused by King Sombra's fear spell. This brief scene is also Nightmare Moon's final appearance in the series.

Other appearances

Luna becomes a recurring heroic character in the series. At the beginning of Seasons 2 and 3, it's revealed that Luna, alongside Celestia, turned Discord to stone with the Elements of Harmony and imprisoned King Sombra in ice while turning him to shadow, about a thousand years ago sometime before her transformation into Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare Moon in comics

In Issue 6 (Part 2 of the second arc), Nightmare Moon is depicted as a separate entity from Luna, originating from the moon (as evidenced by her speaking to Rarity while possessing her, and speaking as if she were the original Nightmare Moon). It is said she convinced Luna to let her possess her (Luna also says "the Nightmare Forces" told her what to do to make ponies fear her), and that she promised the Nightmare Forces a kingdom of their own. When the Mane 6 restored Luna, Nightmare died, but was revived through the cycle of the new moon, and corrupted the inhabitants of the moon into new Nightmare Forces.

Nightmare herself convinced Rarity to let her possess her, becoming Nightmare Rarity.

In Issue 7, Nightmare Rarity imprisons the ponies in her dungeon once the Nightmare Forces defeat them, and resists Spike's attempts to get through to her. She tries to trick him with an illusion, but he realizes her deception. She has Shadowfright and his sidekick capture him and says the nightmare has only begun.

In Issue 8, the ponies escape the dungeon and de-corrupt Shadowfright's sidekick, Jerome, with the power of friendship. Luna does the same to Shadowfright and his army, turning them back into the denizens of the moon. The ponies then use this power of friendship on Nightmare Rarity to weaken her, and with this, them thinking of memories of Rarity, and Spike's love for her along with his restored Fire Ruby, the Nightmare Energy and spirit of Nightmare Moon are destroyed, releasing Rarity from their control.

Luna appears in the comics as well, though not as Nightmare Moon, and with her mane and tail the way they were after she was restored.

In issue 32, moon rocks from the battle between Celestia and Nightmare fall down to the planet and cause some apples to come to life.

FIENDship is magic issue 4 explains what Nightmare Moon did on the moon. She came across some creatures who make ponies' dreams. She tried to invade Celestia's dream to haunt her, but it was too strong. So she invades other ponies' dreams to spread rumors about Celestia. Celestia quickly put a stop to this. When Nightmare finally reaches her dream, Celestia banishes her permanently. Nightmare then turns the creatures into the nightmare forces.

Theories

There are several theories about Nightmare Moon and Luna which say they're not the same entity. This was confirmed by Lauren Faust herself (though she also gave a speech in an interview about Nightmare Moon's "reformation"). Nightmare Moon could be in fact an embodiment of dark magic possessing Luna and keeping her prisoner under her evil influence till she was finally released by the Elements of Harmony. However, this theory has been debunked by the episode "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?".

As King Sombra made the Crystal Empire disappear for a thousand years, it was speculated that he had something to do with Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon. He could have magnified her existing jealousy and bitterness into a dark transformation, or, in accordance with the above theory, a manifestation that possessed her. This theory may have been proven wrong as it was revealed that Celestia and Luna defeated Sombra in the past and imprisoned him, though that does leave the possibility that Sombra only started a more gradual transformation from Luna into Nightmare Moon. This theory was expressed in the youtube video, Fall of the Crystal Empire.

It has also been speculated by G1 fans that Tirac exists in Friendship is Magic and was the one behind Nightmare Moon's transformation, since Nightmare Moon shared Tirac's motivation of bringing the night that never ends. However, when Lord Tirek finally appeared he displayed no such power or interesting in a neverending night.

It has been said that there was an outside force behind Luna's transformation into Nightmare Moon, who also might have had a hand in Discord's escape. In the comics it is implied that this force was the Nightmare Forces, directly possessing her while exploiting the bitterness in her heart to get her to accept them (although it also could be that the Nightmare Forces in the comics are the spirit of Nightmare Moon since she still seems to be Luna, or at least a part of her).

Some believe Nightmare Moon to be an apocalyptic villain since eternal night would cause the world to freeze. Lauren Faust has said that eternal night was Nightmare Moon's first step to a plan to "usher in an era of evil".

It has also been speculated that she is now a ghost and that she is the mysterious Shadow Pony haunting Celestia and Luna's old castle in the Season 4 episode "Castle Mane-ia", although recent comments have made this figure more likely to be Tirek.

Due to Stygian having a similar backstory and transformation into the Pony of Shadows, which occurred through him merging with a sort of "Shadow" strongly resembling a symbiote, it is possible (and, aside from the Nightmare Rarity comics, it is implied by the Legends of Magic comics) that Luna similarly merged with a "Nightmare" symbiote (though one weaker than the Shadow, as the Pony of Shadows was not purified by the Elements of Harmony while Nightmare Moon easily was), which she would have let in out of jealousy, to become Nightmare Moon.

Reception

Nightmare Moon received a mostly positive reception from critics and fans of the series. As the first antagonist of the series, she is praised for her actions, personality, backstory, and her motives. Her alter-ego, Princess Luna, became one of the show's most beloved and popular characters of the series and the Brony Fandom. Her voice actress, Tabitha St. Germain, received praise for her performance as Nightmare Moon.

Diamond Dogs

The Diamond Dogs (named Rover, Fido, and Spot) are minor antagonists in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. They are trio of greedy jewel finding dogs.

Rover was voiced by Scott McNeil, Fido was voiced by Garry Chalk, and Spot was voiced by Lee Tockar.

They appear only in the season 1 episode "A Dog, and Pony Show". They are the main antagonists of the episode. They kidnapped Rarity to find gems for them after seeing her using her gem-finding spell, though the first attempt to kidnap Spike, thinking that he was the gem finder. In the end, Rarity makes them regret kidnapping her until her friends arrived to rescue her with spoils.

Rover is a medium-sized dog and the leader of the trio. His two followers are Fido, a large-sized dog, and Spot, who is a bulldog-like a small dog. Their name is taken from David Bowie's album Diamond Dogs.".

Mane-Iac

The Mane-iac is a fictional character that appears in the fourth season of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and is the main antagonist of the episode entitled "Power Ponies". The Mane-iac appears to be an earth pony with a violet coat, a mane consisting of large green hair tendrils, and green eyes with red pupils.

At the beginning of the episode, Spike shows Twilight Sparkle a couple of pages of a Power Ponies comic book on which the Mane-iac is depicted.

She is stated to be the Power Ponies' "most evil nemesis". Originally, she was the power-mad owner of a hair-care product company, she was the victim in an accident at her shampoo factory and fell into a vat of green liquid and was electrocuted by a downed power line. The accident had given her strange new powers and caused her to go insane. Another page shows the Mane-iac breaking into the Maretropolis Museum and stealing something called the Electro-Orb.

When Spike and his friends are sucked into the comic book and become the Power Ponies, they're brought to the point in the story at which the Mane-iac has just stolen the Electro-Orb. She watches in amusement as they grow accustomed to their newfound superpowers before leaving the scene. When the Power Ponies track the Mane-iac down to her headquarters—her abandoned shampoo factory—she dispatches the ponies with her "Hairspray Ray of Doom", freezing the ponies in place and rendering their powers useless. She then takes the Power Ponies prisoner, but leaves Spike/Humdrum alone, considering him pointless. The Mane-iac uses the Electro-Orb to power her doomsday device, with which she plans to cause the manes of every pony in Maretropolis to grow wild. As she gloats to the Power Ponies over her apparent victory, Spike traps some of her henchponies and helps in freeing his friends. Just before the Mane-iac can use her weapon on Fluttershy/Saddle Ranger, a firefly enters her line of fire, and she swats it away. This action incurs Saddle Ranger's wrath, and she single-handedly does away with both the Mane-iac and her weapon.

As the result of being struck by her own weapon, the Mane-iac's mane grows out of control, ensnaring her in it like a straitjacket, while seemingly tickling her as she was laughing.

IDW Comics

In issue #54 of the IDW comics, Shadow Lock brings the Mane-iac out of Twist's comic book to distract Applejack and Pinkie Pie while he erases the information from all of the books in the school. The Mane-iac is presumably sent back into the comic book off-screen.

Starlight Glimmer

Starlight Glimmer is a former major antagonist in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. She acted as the main antagonist of Season 5, first appearing in the premiere "Cutie Map", then made some cameos in the episodes "Amending Fences" and "What About Discord", and then made her next full appearance in "Cutie Re-Mark". She then redeemed herself and became on of the supporting protagonists for the remainder of the series. Her counterpart, Snowfall Frost, appeared as the main antagonist of "A Hearth's Warming Tail".

Starlight Glimmer started out as the leader of an unnamed village near the edge of Equestria, where she convinced everypony to give up their cutie-marks, which was a result of her childhood friend, Sunburst, abandoning her when he gained his own mark. When the Mane Six arrived and exposed her the tyrant she was, she escaped and sought her revenge later on by traveling back in time and interfering with their past, until Twilight Sparkle inspired her to seek friendship again. She then became Twilight's student, Trixie Lulamoon's assistant, then the guidance councilor of Twilight's School of Friendship, and then finally Headmare of the school.

She is voiced by Kelly Sheridan, who also voiced Svetlana Petranova in Barbie in Rock 'N Royals.

The Cutie Map Part 1

In her episode debut, she is the head of a village where all the ponies have equal signs for Cutie Marks. She greets the Mane 6 when they enter the village. She and the townsfolk explain their philosophy - that being equal is what brings true happiness. The Mane 6 (except Fluttershy, who is warmed by the townsfolk's benevolence, and especially Pinkie Pie, who is adamantly suspicious of the location), find this odd. They promptly meet a trio of ponies who miss their Cutie Marks, showing that Starlight's village is not as happy as it seems. The trio informs the group of a vault inside a mountain which contains the taken marks. Starlight leads the ponies to the vault and shows them a wooden staff, which she dubs the Staff of Sameness. She claims that it's a magical item she uses to take away ponies' Cutie Marks. When Pinkie Pie prematurely discloses that a group of ponies told them about the vault, Starlight immediately sees the Mane 6 as threat to the town's lifestyle and steals their Cutie Marks with the staff, placing them in the vault.

Part 2

She imprisons the ponies in a house, wherein she condemns them to remain until they resign themselves to their fate of living in her town, markless and talentless forever. Unable to break out, the ponies persuade Fluttershy to feign having converted. Starlight is initially not convinced and commands Fluttershy to denounce the ponies who told her about the Vault. Fluttershy hesitates, but one of the free-thinking ponies - named Party Favor - voluntarily confesses that he was responsible for this, subsequently causing him to be imprisoned with the rest of the Mane 6. That night, Fluttershy intends to break into the Vault, but before she can get going there, she finds out that Starlight has ordered Double Diamond to deliver their Cutie Marks to her house so she can guard them personally. She also discovers that in reality, Starlight still has her cutie mark and her equal mark is fabricated.

The following morning, Fluttershy convinces Twilight to claim that she'll join Starlight and the rest of the village to distract Starlight's attention. While this is going on, Fluttershy tries to splash water on Starlight to reveal her cutie mark, but she dodges this as she had known Fluttershy was just acting her conversion. However, a drop of water wipes a smudge off the mark. Party Favor notices this and further wipes off the Equal mark, revealing Starlight's cutie mark and shocking the town. Starlight admits that the Staff of Sameness is just a regular staff she discovered in a desert, and that the Equalizing is the product of her own magic, which she hid from the town. Despite Starlight finally losing her temper and telling she created harmony, the townsfolk were really furious on how she lied to all of them, Starlight tries to save face by claiming she did it all for the sake of establishing harmony, but the townsfolk turn on her for her deception, forcing her to retreat back into her house.

A group of ponies breaks into the Mark Vault and throws the Staff of Sameness at the glass, breaking it and releasing the population's Cutie Marks. Meanwhile, Starlight hides in her house and takes a secret passage, trying to make off with the Mane 6's cutie marks as revenge for exposing her. While the Mane 6 is failing to catch up with her since their forced equality causes them to move slowly, Party Favor and other ponies set out to apprehend Starlight and retrieve the marks (and in the process, use their individual talents to counter Starlight's obstacles). Just before reaching the caves, wherein she could have lost her pursuers, the villain winds up being covered in snow, forcing her to release the marks. Starlight emerges and tries to blast her former followers, but Twilight defends them and says to Starlight that her groups' individuality was what led her to become a princess. Starlight rebukes this and insists that her actions presented the townsfolk with a kind of friendship they couldn't have obtained otherwise, but is shot down by Double Diamond, who claims that she never gave them a chance to be friends before converting them to her beliefs. Enraged and defeated, and having lost all her followers, she uses her magic to escape. Twilight hopes that Starlight will consider what the townsfolk have taught her.

Cameos

Starlight makes a cameo appearances in "Amending Fences", when she was hiding behind a menu she was holding in the cafe. She has a second cameo in "What About Discord?", hiding behind a bush and spying on the Mane Six and Discord with a pair of binoculars. Pracitcally spent through out season 5 trying to find a way to get revenge on the Mane 6 by finding the source of their friendship.

The Cutie Remark

Starlight returns as the main antagonist of the season finale The Cutie Remark. After listening to Twilight's speech of how she and her friends obtained their cutie marks through Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom, Starlight appeared in Twilight's castle and used an altered version of Star Swirl the Bearded's time travel spell with the Cutie Map to travel back in time. She blasted Rainbow Dash away before she could do the Sonic Rainboom, altering time so that King Sombra ruled Equestria and was at war with Princess Celestia. Twilight's attempts to stop Starlight only led to Starlight crystallizing her and then convincing the jock bullies not to pick on Fluttershy, creating a timeline in which Queen Chrysalis is in power and at war with Zecora. Twilight tried to fight Starlight, but it distracted Rainbow Dash, creating a timeline in which Nightmare Moon was in power, with Rainbow Dash and Rarity working for her and Celestia imprisoned.

Twilight's attempts continued to be in vain; Starlight tripped Rainbow Dash, putting Tirek in power; Starlight got Twilight to crystallize Rainbow Dash, putting Discord in power; she made Fluttershy fly with her magic, putting the Flim Flam Brothers in power, making everything look a game to Starlight as she kep taunting Twilight.

When Starlight blasted Rainbow Dash away again, after an argument, Twilight decided to force Starlight to come with her by taking her to the new apocalyptic future of Equestria when Twilight wondered what made Starlight think cutie marks were evil.

When they were in the altered future Starlight finally gets serious, frowns and demands to know where she is, as Twilight tells her they're in the present, that the cause of her actions of preventing Twilight and her friends from getting their cutie marks also prevents them from saving Equestria from thier villains.

Starlight was in denial even though Twilight was right, Starlight was devastated that she was practically defeating herself and she never intended to destroy millions of lives, but she still denies and finally loses her temper and takes Twilight and Spike to when she was a filly and her friend Sunburst got his cutie mark and left for Celestia's magic school, which began her vendetta against cutie marks. Returning to the Rainboom, Starlight attempted to foolishly destroy the spell so Twilight could never travel through time again as she finally no longer playing around and just about had enough of Twilight getting in her way, but Twilight convinced her that she can't and why her friends are so special, and told Starlight to make new friends and give friendship a chance. So, Starlight finally saw the error of her foolish actions and allowed the Sonic Rainboom to take place, and she, Twilight, and Spike returned to the present, where everything is back to normal, as the Mane 5 popped in, Applejack angerily asked what is Starlight doing here, Twilight explained to her friends to what happened and Starlight came in accepting a punishment she deserves but Twilight offered her to become her first new student instead and became friends with the Mane 6 and Spike now and Twilight's student, and reconciled with her village.

Season 6

Though reformed and trying to learn Friendship as Twilight Sparkle's apprentice, Starlight has a few struggles against her former inclinations.

A Hearth's Warming Tail

Starlight is unenthusiastic about celebrating Hearth's Warming Eve and considers it no different from any other day. However, Twilight reads her the story "A Hearth's Warming Tale", an allusion to "A Christmas Carol" with Starlight depicted in the Ebenezer Scrooge-like role who has to gain a proper appreciation for the holiday.

Spice Up Your Life

Starlight Glimmer briefly appears in Spice Up Your Life, helping Twilight to reactivate the Cutie Map which she had disabled in the events of The Cutie Re-Mark. This is a milepost in her redemption.

Every Little Thing She Does

Starlight has a major slip in her new life. In an effort to correct her tendency of avoiding friendship lessons, she takes on several friendship problems at once with Twilight's friends in order to impress her. In an effort to make things easier, she backslides into her old ways by using a newly made Fiducia Compelus spell to mind-control the ponies into following her orders. Unfortunately, the ponies follow her orders so exactly and literally that things quickly spiral out of Starlight's control.

After Twilight helps fix her mess, Starlight confesses that she avoids her friendship problems out of fear of failing and being a disappointment to Twilight. With Twilight and Spike's guidance, Starlight apologizes to her friends for using magic on them, and she learns to address her friendship lessons more naturally.

Season 7 Rock Solid Friendship

While trying to befriend Maud Pie, it is also revealed that she and Maud had met before the initial founding of Starlight's village. Maud had inadvertently helped Starlight by pointing her to a particular rock with the magical properties needed to remove cutie marks.

Rabia

Rabia is the leader of the Umbrum in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic comics, and the main antagonist of the comic Siege of the Crystal Empire.

Background

Hundreds of years prior to the series, Rabia and the Umbrum army attacked the Crystal Empire, terrorizing Crystal Ponies and burning their homes for fun. Unknowingly, Rabia and the Umbrum's actions were witnessed by Queen Chrysalis, who initially wanted to rule the Empire but decided against it upon seeing the Umbrum. Eventually, Rabia and the Umbrum were imprisoned in another realm.

Fiendship is Magic Issue 1

In Sombra's comic backstory, it is shown that Rabia disguised the Umbrum King Sombra as a pony so he could go through the prison door and release them. When Sombra did not want to turn evil and ran, Rabia communicated with him through the Crystal Heart and he embraced his dark side, although he instead decided to rule the Crystal Empire instead.

Siege of the Crystal Empire

It is shown that after Sombra was banished, Radiant Hope found Rabia and the Umbrum, and when she entered their prison, they made her think they were good, and were simply misunderstood by ponies. This led her to form a team of past villains (the Flim Flam Brothers, Iron Will, Lightning Dust and Chrysalis and her Changelings) to distract the Empire's defenders while she resurrected Sombra so he could release the Umbrum. However, when Hope brought Cadence to the Umbrum prison to show her that they weren't evil, Cadance's light revealed their true selves. The Umbrum attacked Hope and Cadence, but they escaped.

Eventually, Sombra released the Umbrum, and Rabia put Twilight and Cadance on trial, and demanded to know where the rebel ponies were, threatening Shining Armor to be turned into a statue if not told. When Cadance told her they were on Canterine, Rabia had Sombra turn Shining Armor to stone anyway. Twilight convinced them to take them to the dais where the Crystal Heart was before turning them to stone so the Crystal Ponies could witness their defeat. Then the rebels attacked, the other Mane 5 among them, but Rabia defeated Rainbow Dash and other pegasi with a flyswatter and told Sombra to destroy the Crystal Heart. However, after hearing of how Hope chose a different destiny than the one the Crystal Heart showed her, and chose him over becoming a princess, Sombra switched sides and used the Crystal Heart to banish the Umbrum, including Rabia, back to their prison.

Sunset Shimmer

Sunset Shimmer is the main antagonist of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls and a major protagonist in the sequels, some of the short films, and a main protagonist of the entire web series. She is Twilight Sparkle's former arch-nemesis and Snips and Snails' former leader and boss.

She is voiced by Rebecca Shoichet, who also provided Twilight's singing voice.

Sunset's backstory is explored deeper in the comics. Here, it is shown she had a very troubled and apprehensive relationship with her mentor Princess Celestia, which explains her descent into evil (though she was already extremely cynical, arrogant, traitorous, self-centered, tricky, and antisocial, thus her mentor's short patience with her). Sunset had previously appeared in the form of a toy and as an NPC in the MLP Gameloft game. In both versions, she was merely a neutral character and not a truly evil one. Sunset's desire was to gain princess hood and have everyone in Equestria recognize her. However, she felt Celestia's tutelage was not getting her anywhere fast enough. During the night, she took it upon herself to do research on the crystal mirror Celestia had shown her some time ago. Just as she found information about the mirror, Celestia and two royal guards arrived on the scene. At first, Celestia tried to console Sunset, but Sunset retaliated by demanding to be crowned a princess. It was then Celestia saw that Sunset lacked all the qualities needed to be a true princess, and deemed the young unicorn unworthy of such a status. Celestia then expelled Sunset from the school, banished her from the castle, and had the guards escort Sunset out. Sunset told her former mentor that this would be the greatest mistake ever made, but of course, it was only one of many. When the chance came, Sunset took the guards by surprise and jumped through the mirror, emerging as a teenage girl on the other side.

My Little Pony: Equestria Girls

Sunset Shimmer first appears as the main antagonist in the first film.

Sunset Shimmer steals Twilight Sparkle's element of harmony: her magic crown, and in a tussle with Twilight Sparkle, the crown is thrown into a mirror that acts as a portal to another world, which Sunset goes through to retrieve the crown.

In this other world, she is depicted as a human who mocks Twilight Sparkle when they first encounter each other. They meet again in a dark hallway where Sunset bullies Twilight into being discouraged from retrieving her crown. Several years have passed since Sunset ran away from home. In the past, she drove the human counterparts of Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity apart, but Twilight reunites them.

She tries to keep Twilight from becoming Princess of the Fall Formal, like humiliating her through an Internet video and implicating but Twilight Sparkle still easily beats her in the competition. When this attempt backfires, she makes her henchmen Snips and Snails vandalize the gymnasium and implicates Twilight for it through photoshopped photos. Vice-Principal Luna falls victim to this deception, but Sunset's former beau Flash Sentry exonerates Twilight at the last second and Twilight is dubbed Fall Formal Princess after she and the student body clean and redecorate the gym.

However, Sunset steals the crown from Twilight, puts it on, and transforms into a demonic-looking winged humanoid due to her wickedness in her heart. In this form, Sunset becomes purely evil. With her new powers, she plans to use them and her army of mind-controlled teenagers to conquer Equestria. Sunset attempts to kill Twilight, but Twilight and her friends use the power of the Elements of Harmony to return her to human form. She is reduced to tears and apologizes for everything that she has done and Twilight believes her friends can help teach her the magic of friendship. Afterward, the human counterpart of Princess Luna, Vice Principal Luna, hands her a masonry trowel to repair all the damage that she caused.

Midnight Sparkle

Midnight Sparkle is a character from the series of movies, Equestria Girls.

She is a corrupted version of the series's main protagonist, Twilight Sparkle.

Backstory

She debuted in the movie "Friendship Games" and haunts the human Twilight in "The Legend of Everfree".

Midnight is the AU version of what would have happened if Sunset Shimmer didn't intervene. Twilight would have stayed Midnight and destroyed the human realm to get to Equestria's magic. She is almost Equivalent to Demon Sunset.

Appearance

Midnight looks somewhat similar to the human Twilight Sparkle, she has an aqua blue fire around her eyes, in place of her counterpart's glasses. She wears a dress, showing off the colors and cutie mark associated with Twilight Sparkle.

Her hair color is the same as Twilight's purple with a pinkish streak and it floats upwards. She has a long, purple tail, and her skin is Purple, just like her eyes. She has a glowing turquoise horn with a black magical aura. She has black, feathery wings that slightly glow.

Personality

Midnight can be described as hungry for knowledge. She would destroy anything that gets in the way of her understanding magic, as shown by the Friendship games, where she starts to tear apart Canterlot High to get to Equestria. She is cocky. She believes that she can have anything that she wants, which is true. She seems to be an alternate personality altogether to Twilight, who has a hard time overcoming Midnight.

Abacus Cinch

Principal Abacus Cinch, simply known as Principal Cinch, is the main antagonist of the third film in the "Equestria Girls" full-length film franchise My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Friendship Games. She was the headmistress of Crystal Prep Academy.

She was voiced by Iris Quinn.

Principal Cinch first appears, calling Twilight to her office through Dean Cadence. She talks with Twilight about her application for the Everton Independent Study Program, admiring her as the best student the academy ever had. However, she then points that Twilight has to compete in Friendship Games, which will strengthen the academy's influence, as it always was. When Twilight tries to say that she's just a researcher and doesn't want to compete, wasting her time, Cinch tells her that she has influence due to the academy's high social status. The principal points that she can use that influence to get Twilight's application approved faster or even denied at once if she won't take part in Friendship Games, forcing Twilight to do so.

In Canterlot High School, Principal Cinch first spends some time talking with Principal Celestia, as the latter shows her the school upgrades. They end up seeing Human Five and Sunset Shimmer chatting with confused Twilight, only for Cinch to reveal that the one is her best student, apologizing for her curiosity. After that incident, Cinch forbids Twilight to make friends with the Canterlot High students. Principal Cinch also ruins Pinkie Pie's welcoming party, forbidding her students to have fun, and Pinkie actually couldn't do anything at the moment, as Twilight accidentally drained her Laughter Magic which makes Pinkie to tired to oppose the principal (though she actually the one who could do that with her personality).

During the main action of the games (in song "Acadeca"), Cinch observes her students' work and gets angry or disgusted anytime they fail to win, like in bakery competition, which was won by Pinkie Pie and her tremendous "Mona Lisa" cake. While Principal Celestia, Vice-Principal Luna and Dean Cadence judge the most of the competitions, Principal Cinch judges the last one, math competition between Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle, pointing out that Sunset's answer is incorrect.

Then, Principal Cinch instructs the remained Shadowbolts before Tri-Cross Relay, inspiring them to victory and hoping that Twilight could deal with the first part of the relay, which is actually the P.E. standard for Crystal Prep Academy. However, Twilight fails miserably, not being able to high the bulls-eye with and arrow, which enrages her classmates, but she is helped by Applejack, who then gets pony-up for her honesty, which was accidentally drained by Twilight. The latter drops her pendant which opens several random portals to Equestria, releasing the Everfree Forest into this dimension. It crushes the track, nearly killing Sunset Shimmer and Sugarcoat in process, as Rainbow Dash and Indigo Zap prove themselves to be more competent racers. However, Rainbow saves Sunset, getting pony-up, and then Sunset wins the race. Principal Cinch blames the Wondercolts for magic cheating, however, Celestia tries to convince Cinch that no one had advantage due to that. A bit later, Principal Cinch witnesses Twilight draining Rainbow Dash's magic and Sunset yelling at Twilight about all the magic, learning that she drained much magic yet and decides to use it to her advantage.

Before the final competition, Principal Cinch and the Shadowbolts trying to convince Twilight in releasing the magic to the point of enforcing her to do it in their villain song "Unleash the Magic". However, the magic goes unstable and corrupts Twilight, as everyone, including Cinch, look at that in horror. Twilight transforms into horrifying Midnight Sparkle, and Cinch, understanding what monster has been created, retreats in save position, advising the Shadowbolts to do the same when Sunny Flare actually catches her, but her students see the error of their ways for what they've done to Twilight, and decided to help everyone.

After Midnight Sparkle is defeated, Cinch accuses the Canterlot High School for magic cheating once more and demands that Celestia and Luna forfeit the Friendship Games, threatening to report the incident to the school board. However, she is mocked by the others, as even the Shadowbolts turn on Cinch, implying that she was the real monster responsible for Midnight Sparkle's creation, and point out that there is no way the board would believe her claims about "flying girls, magic or talking dog (referring to Twilight's Spike)". Though Cinch is enraged, she than saves her face and leaves in defeat, most probably leaving to Crystal Prep the next day with the other students and Dean Cadence.

Equestria Girls Specials

In the special "Dance Magic," Sour Sweet mentions that Cadance has taken over as the Principal of Crystal Prep, meaning that Principal Cinch either quit, retired, or was fired by her superiors for her actions. It's also quite plausible that she was arrested on numerous charges.

Daybreaker

Daybreaker is a supporting antagonist in the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series, appearing as the main antagonist of the Season 7 television episode A Royal Problem, and again in the comic series as the secondary antagonist of the Nightmare Knights saga. She is depicted as the evil alter-ego of Princess Celestia, the same as Nightmare Moon being the alter-ego of Princess Luna.

She is voiced by Nicole Oliver, who also voices her good counterpart and Cheerilee.

Royal Problem

In the episode, Starlight Glimmer is sent by Twilight's map to the royal palace in Canterlot to solve a friendship problem between Princesses Celestia and Luna, who each believe that their own responsibilities are harder than the other's, and are unintentionally hurting each-other's feelings because of it. To resolve this problem, Starlight uses her magic to switch their cutie-marks, so that they can experience what it's like in each-other's horseshoes. After Luna exhausts herself with Celestia's duties during the day, she retires to her chamber for the evening, and Celestia takes charge of Luna's duties of managing everypony's dreams. Celestia initially believes Luna's job to be easy, but then stumbles upon Starlight's nightmare of being unable to solve the Royal Sisters' friendship problem; upon which, Nightmare Moon appears. Celestia prepares herself to battle Nightmare Moon, but is then stunned to see another evil alicorn similar to herself.

The alicorn reveals herself to be Daybreaker, the dark form of Celestia. Both Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon represent Starlight's fear of her attempt to solve Royal Sister's crisis making it even worse. After goading Celestia into giving into her darker temptations, she then begins her fight with Nightmare Moon. Starlight tries to talk them out of it and Celestia attempts to intervene, but both fail to stop their quarrel. Celestia then brings Luna from her own nightmare of failing her older sister's duties so that they can stop Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon before Starlight's mind is damaged forever, but Luna is unable to help since she has Celestia's magic. After Celestia tearfully admits that Luna's duties are so difficult, Luna admits the same about Celestia's duties. Just then, Daybreaker subdues Nightmare Moon and sets the throne room ablaze. Before she can finish her off, however, Celestia, after being encouraged by Luna, stands in the way of both of their attacks. Daybreaker taunts that Celestia can't bring herself to destroy her since she is everything Celestia wants to be, but Celestia denies this and dispels both her and Nightmare Moon for good.

Luna congratulates Celestia for defeating both of their dark selves, and they reconcile. Starlight's cutie-mark glows, indicating that her mission was complete.

Cameo

Daybreaker made a brief cameo in the Season 9 premiere, The Beginning of the End - Part 1, when King Sombra shows Twilight and her friends their worst nightmares while confronting him at the Crystal Empire.

Comics

In Legends of Magic Annual 2018, Celestia and Luna are abducted by Pony of Shadows from an alternate dimension, who seeks to corrupt them into becoming Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon.

In My Little Pony: Nightmare Knights, a Celestia from an alternate universe, corrupted into Daybreaker, is enslaved by Princess Eris and used to lure Princess Luna into a casino. Daybreaker also serves as Eris' head of the security, but breaks free and takes over her position of power and helping Luna and her team defeat her.

Mean 6

The Mean Six are the titular secondary antagonists of the MLP: FiM episode of the same name. They are clones of the Mane Six created by Queen Chrysalis and lead by Mean Twilight before they end up turning against her. They are voiced by the same people that voice the original Mane Six.

Season 8

In "Mean Six" Queen Chrysalis created the Mean Six from trees using pictures she took of the Mane 6, hairs from their manes (in Rainbow Dash's case, her tail), and magically carving their cutie marks into the trees. Their purpose was to take the Elements of Harmony and destroy the Mane 6 in front of Starlight Glimmer as revenge for taking away her army and kingdom and then destroy Starlight as well.

However, because of Chrysalis' evil magic, the clones ended up flawed, acting opposite to the original counterparts. Evil Twilight could tell that Chrysalis couldn't do much without them. Chrysalis sent the Mean Six to search for the Elements of Harmony in the Everfree Forest.

During the search, Evil Fluttershy got distracted picking on a bird, while Evil Rainbow Dash got bored and flew off. Evil Applejack lied to Chrysalis as to where they were, and Chrysalis gave her and the other three permission to split up and search for them.

Evil Twilight took note of the fact that Chrysalis needed them more than they needed her and planned to lead the other Mean 5 so they could take the Elements for themselves instead of Chrysalis. She ran into the real Pinkie Pie, who inadvertently revealed to her that the Elements were inside the Tree of Harmony, and told her the location of the Tree.

Evil Rainbow Dash ran into Fluttershy, snubbed her, and flew off.

Chrysalis found Evil Pinkie Pie, laying bored on the ground, while Evil Rarity hoarded random objects, and Evil Applejack continued lying. Chrysalis got angry at them and commanded them to find the other three and bring them back.

Evil Fluttershy treated the animals badly, causing them to get angry at the real Fluttershy (during which a bird curses at her).

Evil Rarity mistook the real Rainbow Dash for her clone and started stealing the items that Applejack packed for Starlight.

When Evil Twilight and Pinkie ran into Fluttershy, Evil Twilight was mean to her and left to get the others, causing the real Twilight to think Pinkie upset Fluttershy, and Pinkie accused Twilight of doing so. Twilight was offended that Pinkie seemingly found the trip boring (when it was Evil Pinkie that made the remarks earlier).

Chrysalis overheard Evil Twilight's plan to betray her and confronted her, saying she should kill them and start over, but Evil Twilight told her she knew where the Elements were.

Evil Rarity tried to run with Starlight's items but became tangled in vines. Rainbow Dash tried to help her out with a shovel, but Evil Rarity accused her of trying to take it from her. After she got free, she pulled Rainbow Dash to the ground by her tail and ran off.

Evil Applejack ran into Starlight and Rarity, telling more lies and insulting Starlight, hurting her feelings. After Starlight ran off and Rarity ran after her, Chrysalis and the other Mean 5 reunited with Evil Rarity, telling Evil Twilight to lead her to the Tree of Harmony.

As the Mane 6 and Starlight met up, argued, and reconciled, Chrysalis and the Mean 6 reached the campsite where the Mane 6 and Starlight were headed for, and the Mean 6 trashed the tents for fun, with Evil Rarity stealing everything. Evil Twilight told the other five about her plan, and they got to the Tree of Harmony. The other Mean 5 fought amongst themselves, and Evil Twilight said they needed the Elements to take out Chrysalis. Chrysalis heard this and engaged Evil Twilight in a beam struggle while the other five attempted to take the Elements. As Evil Twilight was about to overpower Chrysalis, the Tree sensed the Mean 6's evil and captured them, melting their bodies before destroying them in a flash of light, leaving only fragments of the trees used to create them.

After the Mean Six's destruction, Chrysalis remarks how servants can't be depended on, but ensures that she will have her revenge on Starlight one day.

Season 9

In "Frenemies", it is shown that Chrysalis kept Evil Twilight's log as something to "talk to" when she needs it.

Storm King

The Storm King is the main antagonist of the 2017 animated film My Little Pony: The Movie, based on the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic series, the posthumous overarching antagonist of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls – Spring Breakdown and a posthumous antagonist in the rest of the series. He is the former master of both Tempest Shadow and Grubber and one of Twilight Sparkle's archenemies.

He was a tyrannical satyr-like creature who commanded a formidable army in his quest for power. He and his army invaded Canterlot so he can steal the magic of the Alicorn Princesses with the Staff of Sacanas in order to make himself all-powerful without anyone-else to help serve him. However, he met his end at the hooves of his former commander, Tempest Shadow, who he had betrayed earlier when he attempted one last attack on the Mane Six.

He was voiced by Liev Schreiber, who also played Sabretooth/Victor Creed in X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Stu Wargle in Phantoms, Ray Donovan in the series of the same name, Ted Winter in Salt, Colonel Alexander Vosch in The 5th Wave, and Kingpin/Wilson Fisk in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Backstory

While the exact origins of the Storm King are completely unknown, it can be presumed that he took over many lands beyond Equestria, before learning of Equestria's princesses and their alicorn magic. At some point, he met up with Grubber from an unknown destination, making him his smallest servant. He destroyed many other kingdoms as well, including Capper's home and the kingdom of the hippogriffs, and enslaved many others, including Captain Celaeno and her crew. He also met up with Tempest Shadow and told her that if she helped him steal the alicorn magic, he would use it to restore her horn.

The Invasion

The Storm King's invasion of Equestria begins during Canterlot's Friendship Festival, where Twilight Sparkle and her friends are preparing for a concert. The Storm King's henchmen, Tempest Shadow and Grubber, arrive ahead of him intending to capture` the four princesses for his upcoming arrival. During the ensuing chaos, Tempest manages to use obsidian orbs to petrify Princesses Celestia, Luna, and Cadance, while Twilight and her friends manage to escape. The Storm King calls Tempest to learn of her progress, during which he assures her that if Twilight is not captured and brought to him within three days, she will be severely punished.

Even though not a physical appearance, a bobblehead of the King is held by Murdock when Tempest interrogates the pirates on the Mane Six's whereabouts.

Stealing the Magic

The Storm King later arrives in Canterlot, with Tempest having fulfilled her promise of successfully delivering the Princess Twiligh after she screwed up their chances of getting help from the Hippogriffs, getting into a fight with Pinkie, hurting her feelings and her friends abandoning her, as the result of their fight gave Tempest the opportunity to finally capture her with no friends to save her this time. The Storm King uses the Staff of Sacanas to absorb the magic of all four princesses, much to his glee. As he begins experimenting with his new abilities by taking a shot at a de-powered Twlight, then rapidly accelerating the day and night cycle of the world, Tempest attempts to ask when he will restore her broken horn, only to be set aside. Then Twilight's friends all came back to save her, accompanied by the con-cat Capper, the Parrot Pirates, and Princess Skystar, infiltrate Canterlot and fend off the Storm King's soldiers, after he sees Twilight's friends coming, he uses his staff to create a massive hurricane, blowing away the rest of his army and shielding the castle to keep the Mane 6, Spike and Capper from getting closer. When Tempest tries to persuade him to fulfill their bargain, the Storm King scoffs and betrays her, revealing that he had only been using her and that she has outlived her usefulness. He attempts to kill Tempest but is blown back when she blasts him back with her magic. Twilight sees an opportunity to get the staff away from the Storm King but chooses to save Tempest instead. The Storm King laughs at this gesture and then prepares to murder them both as Twilight and Tempest are both no longer of use to him anymore.

Final Battle

Just as he is about to kill Tempest and Twilight, Twilight's friends launch themselves out of a massive cannon, ramming the Storm King out of the way and lodging the Staff of Sacanas into the mosaic above the throne room. Twilight and her friends make up as they apologise for what they never should've done to each other at a terrible time. As Twilight and her friends work together again, they fight against the raging winds of the hurricane and the falling debris of the collapsing throne room in an attempt to retrieve the staff. Right behind them, The Storm King emerges from underneath some of the fallen rubble and desperately climbs in pursuit of the staff. Fighting against the Mane 6 in the race for the staff, he hurls himself at the staff in a fit of desprate rage, just as Twilight grabs it first just in time, but the strong winds pull Twilight, the staff, and himself through the window and out into the hurricane. As Twilight and the Storm King are presumed dead, as the Mane 5 and Spike are sad that Twilight is gone.

Death

Just when the ponies think Twilight is dead, and mourn for her, she emerges from the eye of the storm with the staff, still alive, and uses it to end the chaos the Storm King began. As she and her friends embrace each other, the Storm King survived the storm too and sneakingly climbs back up over the balcony and hurls an obsidian orb at them in a last attempt to retrieve the staff and defeat Twilight and her friends once and for all. Tempest, however, spotted him and saw what he was about to do. Having had a change of heart after being saved by Twilight and realizing the king is too dangerous to be kept alive, she leaps in front of the princess and her friends and onto the Storm King, taking the hit and transforming them both into obsidian statues. While Twilight uses the staff to save Tempest, The Storm King's petrified body plummets down to the courtyard below and shatters into pieces upon impact, killing him and ending his oppressive tyranny over Equestria, all the lands he took over the years and his plan to rule the world before it could truly begin.

In the credits, while still in pieces in stone form, his eyes were seen moving while trying to dance before his body was reduced to rubble again.

Role in the Series Season 8

Pony of Shadows

Stygian, better known as the Pony of Shadows, is a major antagonist in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, appearing as the main antagonist in the Season 7 finale, "Shadow Play".

He is a unicorn scholar and the founder of the Pillars of Equestria, who was also their friend as he brought them together to save his home and Equestria. After a terrible misunderstanding led him to be outcasted by the pillars, he was then transformed into a monstrous pony made entirely of shadows who desired to cover the entirety of Equestria in darkness before he was reverted back to his original form by the pillars as well as the Mane Six.

He was voiced by Bill Newton, who also played Bright Macintosh and Pharynx in the series.

Background

The Pony of Shadows was originally a male unicorn named Stygian, who lived in Equestria more than 1,000 years prior to the events of the series. One day, Stygian's village was attacked by the Sirens, who used their magic to turn everypony against each other in order to feed off their negativity to become even more powerful. In order to save his home, Stygian traveled across old Equestria in search of the country's greatest heroes, which included Rockhoof, Flash Magnus, Mistmane, Somnambula, Mage Meadowbrook and Star Swirl the Bearded. Together, they formed the Pillars of Equestria and fought the Sirens, banishing them into a different dimension and saving Stygian's home.

After vanquishing the Sirens, the Pillars stuck together and continued to defend Equestria from future threats. During this time, Stygian provided assistance by studying their foes and planning strategies for them. However, while the others were hailed and respected by all, Stygian wasn't recognized in the slightest for his own contributions because he always watched from sidelines while his friends did all the work. Desperate to be noticed and wanting to prove himself a hero as well, Stygian secretly borrowed a treasured belonging from each of the other Pillars and brought them all to Ponehenge in order to perform a spell that will create copies of the artifacts so that he can fight alongside them. However, the others discovered this and believed he was trying to take their power for himself. After taking back their artifacts and stopping Stygian's spell, they then banished him from the team without even giving him the chance to explain the reasons for his actions. At the time, Stygian believed that the Pillars were just being selfish and didn't want to share their power with him, causing him to despise his former friends.

Shortly afterwards, a heartbroken and embittered Stygian discovered the Well of Shade in the Hollow Shades. There, he encountered a mysterious and shadowy entity known as "The Darkness", which promised Stygian the power to take his revenge on those who supposedly betrayed him in return for helping the entity plunge the world into eternal darkness. Enticed by this promise, Stygian agreed to this deal, and the two merged into a single shadowy being; the Pony of Shadows.

The Pony of Shadows then attacked the Pillars of Equestria and began spreading darkness and chaos across the land, desiring every pony to feel the pain he had. Realizing that they couldn't defeat him conventionally, the Pillars then decided to perform a ritual to banish him to the space between dimensions known as Limbo. However, the ritual would require them to banish themselves along with their former friend to accomplish this. Willing to sacrifice themselves to save Equestria, all the Pillars agreed to this plan. But before they did, they each poured their essence into a seed and planted them in a cave underneath the Castle of the Two Sisters, which would eventually grow into the Tree of Harmony that would help future heroes in defending Equestria.

The Pillars gathered around Ponehenge, where they first banished Stygian. There, Starswirl casted a spell to bring the Pony of Shadows to them. Immediately, the Pony of Shadows attacked them and prepared to plunge the world into complete darkness, but the Pillars then performed the ritual and willingly banished themselves and the Pony of Shadows to Limbo, where they all remained for the next millennium.

Shadow Play Pt. 1 and 2

Over a thousand years later, the Pony of Shadows was inadvertently released from Limbo by Twilight Sparkle, who with the help of her friends freed the Pillars from the dimensional gap as well. The Pony of Shadows then destroys Stonehenge and Starswirl's spell book so he can't be sent back and attempts to attack Starswirl. However, Twilight and Starlight Glimmer counter his attack, forcing him to retreat to shadowy areas of Equestria to regain his power.

Due to the industrialization of Equestria over the past millennium, many of the areas that were once known to be dark are now populated and bright, thus buying Twilight and her friends time to come up with a plan on how to locate and re-contain him. The initial plan was to sacrifice the Elements of Harmony in place of the Pillars, but Starlight suggested that they should try to make peace with Stygian to regain his friendship, only to be rebuffed by Starswirl who firmly believed that Stygian was beyond redemption.

Eventually, the ponies are led by the castle's map to the Hollow Shades, which is now an abandoned ghost town on the edge of Equestria. After traveling there, the entire town collapses into the ground to reveal the Well of Shade, where Stygian first became the Pony of Shadows. The Pony of Shadows explained how Stygian and the Darkness met and fused into one before attacking Starswirl again. At that moment, the Mane Six and the Pillars open a portal to banish the Pony of Shadows and the Elements of Harmony into Limbo. However, as the Pony of Shadows begins to slip into the portal, Twilight sees Stygian himself struggling from within the black mass that is his body and dives in.

She then finds Stygian, sitting alone in the darkness. There, he revealed his true intentions for stealing the Pillars' artifacts. The Pillars and the rest of the Mane Six overheard their conversation, and the Pillars were shocked and horrified to learn that Stygian truly was their friend and that banishing him led him down the darker path. As the darkness begins to overtake Stygian again, Twilight urges him to forgive his friends and abandon the darkness. When Stygian questions why Twilight would believe he can be saved, Starlight joins Twilight and explains that she was like Stygian until Twilight managed to convince her of the power of friendship. Stygian then states that while he wants to believe what they say, he then becomes possessed by the Darkness again and boasts that it can never be defeated.

Twilight then takes a more forceful approach by lassoing Stygian's foreleg with her magic to pull him out of the Darkness while urging him to fight it. It was then that Starlight, the Mane Six and the Pillars combine all of their magic to pull Stygian out of the Darkness, which they succeed in doing. As a result, the Darkness was left without a host and could not prevent itself from being sucked into the portal on his own, causing it to be banished back into Limbo for good.

With the Darkness gone and the Elements of Harmony and Pillars of Old Equestria both intact, the land was at peace once again, and Starswirl apologizes to Stygian and rekindles their friendship.

Alternate

The Pillars and Stygian encountered an alternate version of the Pony of Shadows after he abducted a young Celestia and Luna, intending to turn them into Daybreaker and Nightmare Moon. Despite his power, the alternate Pony of Shadows was thwarted due to Stygian's inexplicable ability to command his creatures. When he attempted to blast Stygian, their magics reacted and caused an explosion, and Stygian announced himself before departing for home with the Pillars. The alternate Pony of Shadows, who had recognized all of the heroes except Stygian, was then revealed to be the Stygian of that universe.


Me: Yeah. I know this is a big shock but I'm afraid it's all true.

Princess Celestia: But Chrysalis is dead.

Me: Yes she is but I'm afraid she has returned.

Princess Luna: How did you find this out?

Me: Laney had a dream about it. It was a vision into the future and it warned her about it.

Princess Celestia: This is a nightmare. I'm glad you told us about this.

Princess Cadance: We have to warn everyone.

Me: No. If we do that it will only cause fear and panic to sweep over the lands and the last thing we want is for fear, hysteria and panic to take hold. We still have two months to prepare for it and we have a huge window of opportunity to prepare and gather our forces.

Princess Amore: That's good. Thank you for telling us all this.

Me: You're welcome princesses.

I left.


Later at the Canterlot Donut Shop, we were having donuts.

Me: (Eating Donuts) Mmm! Love the donuts here.

Moondancer: They are some of the best ever.

Lincoln: They sure are.

Nico: Yeah. J.D. can I ask you a quick question?

Me: Sure Nico.

Nico: How did you recruit Twilight's friends here?

Me: That is an interesting story. It was shortly after I established The Knights of The Friendship Table and it was after we killed Chrysalis the first time. You weren't with me because you all were given your own mission back then.

Nico: That's right. I was in charge back then.

FLASHBACK

In Twilight Sparkle's castle, I was sitting with Twilight as she was reading a book. It was my first ever time inside Twilight's castle.

Me: Man Twilight your castle is incredible.

Twilight Sparkle: Thanks J.D. It's really cool isn't it.

Me: It sure is.

[dishes clinking]

Spike came in after washing the dishes.

Spike: [sighs] You know the worst thing about you being the Princess of Friendship? The dishes.

Twilight Sparkle: Thanks for taking care of that, Spike. After three events in one week and joining Team Loud Phoenix Storm, I really needed to relax with a good book.

Me: You said it Twilight. But it's gonna be so awesome having you all with us. Also it will give me a great opportunity for us to form the new branch of the team I made.

Spike: That's right! What is it again?

Me: It's called The Knights of the Friendship Table. I got the idea for it from the Map you all have here. I think that's so cool.

Twilight Sparkle: It sure is.

Spike: It's kinda funny, isn't it? All these ponies comin' to you for advice about friendship?

Twilight Sparkle: What's funny about that?

Me: I think it's great that they come to her.

Spike: I know but you know. You know, 'cause you used to be famous for being such a bad friend.

Twilight put the book back on the shelf.

Me: Why do you say that?

Twilight Sparkle: What are you talking about? I had good friends in Canterlot.

Spike: Come on, Twilight. Look at the wall. D'ya see any photos from before we moved to Ponyville? And look at you now – the Princess of Friendship.

I looked at all of Twilight's photos and they were amazing.

Me: Wow! You guys have done a lot and you all look really amazing in those dresses at your coronation.

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] This is a disaster! All my old friends! I can't remember any of their names right now! But do you really think that they think I'm a bad friend?!

Me: I don't think that at all Twilight.

Spike: Well, I only meant that you've come so far. You're a great friend now and—

Twilight Sparkle: Oh, I feel terrible! I've gotta make it up to them!

Me: I'll come with you.

Twilight Sparkle: Great! Pack a bag, Spike! We're going to Canterlot! And make a list of my friends' names.

Spike: Aw. Me and my big mouth.


Later we were flying to Canterlot a while before I moved the whole castle all the way over to the estate.

Me: Wow. Canterlot looks so beautiful at night.

Twilight Sparkle: It sure does.

Spike: Come on, Twilight. You're getting worked up about nothin'.

Me: I'm sure your friends will understand about you not being there.

Twilight Sparkle: I know. But I'm really determined to help them.

Me: I know.

We landed and we saw that we were at a tower.

Twilight Sparkle: The only logical place to start is at the beginning.

We saw that we were at Twilight Sparkle's old tower home before she moved to Ponyville.

Me: Is this where you used to live Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: It sure is.

[doors open]

We went in to the tower on the top and it was dusty.

Me: Wow. Your home tower is beautiful.

Twilight Sparkle: It sure is. Oh. It's exactly how we left it!

Me: But it sure is a nice place. I'm amazed you lived here before coming to Ponyville.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah.

We saw an old book and it had lots of dust on it.

Twilight Sparkle: [blows] Look! It's Predictions and Prophecies! And it's still open to the Elements of Harmony!

I looked at it.

Me: Wow. So this is how Nightmare Moon was gonna come back after 1,000 years.

Spike: And here's that present I was gonna give Moondancer! Huh. Guess she won't be needing that. Hey, look! The rest of it's still here!

He showed us an old present.

Twilight Sparkle: How could I have let this happen?

We saw Twilight's old room and it was amazing.

Me: Wow. Your old room is incredible. It's perfect for you.

Twilight Sparkle: It is.

Spike: Come on, Twilight. Princess Celestia gave you an assignment. Nopony could blame you for that.

Me: That's right Twilight. I go on assignments all the time on our adventures. It's part of the job of being a superhero and our job is never finished when we're up against the formidable forces of evil.

Twilight Sparkle: That's true. But look at the way I left this place. It's a total mess! Just like how I left my friendships.

[window squeaks]

Me: Twilight, I don't think you're a bad friend at all. You've done so much to help everyone in Equestria. And if that doesn't show that you have earned the title to be princess, I don't know what will.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. I've gotta make it up toooo... uh...

Spike: Oh! Uh, Minuette, Twinkleshine, Lemon Hearts, Lyra Heartstrings, and Moondancer.

Me: Lyra Heartstrings lives in Ponyville.

Twilight Sparkle: Wow. Yeah. Them.

Me: We'll do it together.

The next morning, Spike was sleeping and I was meditating.

Me: Ommmmmmmmmm...

Spike: [snoring]

Twilight Sparkle: Spike! J.D. Come on! We've got work to do!

Me: Oh. Must be time.

Spike woke up.

Spike: [groans] Have you been awake all night?

Twilight Sparkle: I did a little research, and I think I know where we can find Minuette! That is one of my friends, right?

Me: Yes it is.

We arrived at Minuette's house and she lived in a beautiful house with an hourglass on the door and over the door.

[knock on door]

Spike: Uh, it's not too late to forget I opened my big mouth.

Twilight Sparkle: No, Spike, I'm glad you opened your big mouth. These ponies have probably been suffering ever since I left. Wondering why their supposed friend would treat them so badly!

Me: That wasn't your fault Twilight.

[door opens]

Twilight Sparkle: Minuette?

Me: Are you here?

Minuette: Twilight Sparkle! [laughs] You old so-and-so! What are you doing here?! Hey, Spike!

Me: Hello there.

Minuette: WOW! J.D. Knudson, the world famous leader of Team Loud Phoenix Storm! It's such an honor.

Me: Pleasure to meet you Minuette.

Minuette: Same here. I heard so much about you. (To Twilight Sparkle) Look at these wings, huh?! [giggles] Hey, grab a picture of me, J.D. and the princess, will ya?! I tried to tell my co-workers we used to be friends back when. [giggles] But they've never believed me!

Me: Boy I bet.

[lens focusing]

Minuette: Wait-wait-wait! Really fluff 'em up, huh? [giggles]

She fluffed up her wings and I did too.

[flash developing]

It took a picture.

[snap]

Me: (Blubbers) Wow. Never get used to Flash Photography.

Minuette: So what are you doing here? I mean, I know you're here all the time, but you never come to see me.

Me: Well Twilight and her friends in Ponyville just recently joined Team Loud Phoenix Storm.

Minuette: WOW! That's amazing! Hey! I just had the greatest idea! You wanna go see Lemon Hearts and Twinkleshine?

Twilight Sparkle: Of course! My old friends!

Me: Awesome! I can't wait to meet them.

Minuette: It'll be great! [giggles] Come on! Let's fly! Get it? [laughs]

Me: (Laughs) That was a good one.

Twilight Sparkle: This is perfect! I can apologize to all three of them at once!

Me: And it will be awesome to meet them too.

Spike: Let's hope they're not as traumatized as Minuette.

Later at the Canterlot Donut Shop, I was having Donuts with Twilight Sparkle and her friends Minuette, Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts.

Me, Twilight Sparkle, Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lemon Hearts: [giggling]

Minuette: She did! Twinkleshine literally spit out her oats when she heard you were the Princess of Friendship!

Me: Boy that must've been a really big shock.

Lemon Heart: It sure was. But it's an honor to meet the famous J.D. Knudson of Team Loud Phoenix Storm. We love all your adventures.

Me: I've never been one to brag but they are awesome.

Twinkleshine: Yeah. We saw you at the coronation Twilight. That was some shindig!

Twilight Sparkle: You did?

Twinkleshine: Sure! We see you all the time!

Me: Boy that must've been quite a party.

Minuette: It was. Twilight, you remember our old friend, Lyra, right? [giggles] She lives in Ponyville too. We're always over there visiting her. Or she's coming over here! [giggles] We've thought about asking you to join us from time to time, but we just sorta figured you'd moved on.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh.

Me: By the way girls, the reason I'm with Twilight is because I came to recruit you all for my own branch team of Team Loud Phoenix Storm for Twilight and her friends of Equestria.

Minuette: Cool! What's it called?

Me: It's called The Knights of The Friendship Table.

I pulled out a flag of the branch team and showed it to them. It was a flag with a crystal background and it had a 30 point star in the middle with the Team Loud Phoenix Storm emblem in the middle of the star.

Me: I based it off of the Knights of the Round Table in ancient legend on Earth except it's based on the awesome map table Twilight has at her castle. It's purpose is to help the ponies of Equestria as well as every creature in the world.

Lemon Hearts: Wow! That's amazing.

Minuette: It sure is. That's really something.

Twinkleshine: Yeah it is. What do you think girls?

Minuette: I would be honored to join.

Twinkleshine: Me too.

Lemon Hearts: Same here. This is gonna be awesome.

Me: Cool! It'll be awesome having you all with us. We'll ask Lyra later on.

Lemon Hearts: Great! [clears throat] So what brings all you by anyway? All those times you've come back to Canterlot, you never had donuts with us before.

Me: Well I'm really busy with my team always saving the universe. But Nico and everyone is out on a mission and I got a week off to recruit members for the Knights of The Friendship Table, so it's me and Twilight. But Twilight is with me for a reason.

Twilight Sparkle: Well, uh, you see... [sighs] I came to apologize.

Minuette: [gulps] For what?

Twilight Sparkle: Before I left Canterlot, I didn't really appreciate my friends. And that's because I didn't know how important friendship was. But I've learned so much since I moved to Ponyville. I learned what it means to be a good friend and that I certainly wasn't one to the three of you. So for all the pain I caused you, I am truly sorry.

Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lemon Hearts: [giggling]

Minuette: Oh, come on, Twilight! Sure, it might've stung a little bit when you ran off to Ponyville without saying goodbye, but it's not like we weren't used to that from you!

Twinkleshine: Yeah, we didn't take it personally.

Lemon Hearts: But it's really good to see you now. Hey! Anypony up for a blast from the past?

Me: I sure am. Also I heard from Sunset Shimmer that you know her.

Minuette: (Growls) That girl is with you?

Me: It's all right Minuette.

Twilight Sparkle: Sunset completely changed her ways.

Me: It's a really long story. I know you girls don't trust her but it's true. She is fully redeemed and now she wants to make it up to everyone that she wronged. She's totally changed for the better. Well I think it's best if you saw it for yourselves when the time comes.

Twinkleshine: All right.

We arrived at the school of Princess Celestia.

Me: Wow. Is this your old school, Twilight?

Twilight Sparkle: It sure is. (Looks through the window) [gasps] It's our old science lab! I have so many great memories of this place!

Me: Lisa would love working here as a teacher and she is a College Professor of advanced Quantum Mechanics and Physics.

Twilight Sparkle: Amazing.

Minuette: [giggles] Remember when Lemon Hearts got her head stuck in that beaker?

Me: She got her head stuck in a beaker?

Minuette: (Laughs) Yeah.

Twinkleshine and Minuette: [giggling]

Me: Lets see what went down.

I used my powers and showed a memory of the past from Twilight's childhood and it showed Twilight and her friends as fillies in their science lab.

[fillies giggling]

Me: Wow. You all were really learning hard.

Young Lemon Hearts got her head stuck in a chemistry beaker.

Me: That is funny.

Twilight Sparkle: Brings back memories.

Me: I wonder how Lemon Hearts got her head stuck in a beaker like that anyway.

Twilight Sparkle: No idea.

We saw a Young Twilight Sparkle and Young Moondancer reading.

Young Twilight Sparkle: But according to this book, you're supposed to add the sodium chloride first.

Young Moondancer: I read ahead, and to make a proper salt lick, you need to add the molasses first.

Young Twilight Sparkle: Well, I read ahead too, Moondancer, and I'm sure it said sodium chloride first.

Young Moondancer: [dryly] Oh. I've got the wrong book. That's so hilarious.

Me: Were you two making salt lick?

Twilight Sparkle: We sure were and Moondancer had the wrong book.

Me: Oops. That's funny.

Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lemon Hearts: [giggling]

Lemon Hearts: Good times.

Me: But you all had great talents in all that.

Twilight Sparkle: Whatever happened to Moondancer?

Lemon Hearts: Moondancer?

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah, you know, our other friend.

Twinkleshine: Oh, right! Moondancer! I remember her!

Lemon Hearts: I wonder what she's up to.

Minuette: Yeah, I always liked her. We just sort of lost touch after you left.

Twinkleshine: I think she went to live out by the stadium, didn't she?

Lemon Hearts: Well, let's go see.

Me: Cool.

We arrived at her house and it looked gloomy and dilapidated.

Me: Whoa. Moondancer's house looks ominous. And it looks like she hasn't been taking really good care of it.

Spike: Yeah no kidding.

Minuette: I think this is the place. Didn't used to look like this, though.

Me: It's like she has given up hope.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh no.

Twilight Sparkle went and knocked on the door.

Twilight Sparkle: [knocks on door]

[door breaks]

Me: Oops. Talk about your fixer upper.

Twilight looked through the hole in the door and an eye came.

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps]

[door creaks]

It opened.

Twilight Sparkle: Moon Dancer?

Moondancer: What do you want? I'm trying to study.

Twilight Sparkle: It's us! Your old friends!

Moondancer: Ugh!

[door slams]

Minuette: [nervous chuckle] That's old Moon Dancer, all right. She always did like her books. Hey! Kinda like you used to be, huh? [giggles]

Twilight Sparkle: Exactly how I used to be.

Me: Oh man. She needs help and fast.

Twilight Sparkle: Yeah.


Later we watched as Moondancer went to the library to study.

Me, Minuette and Twilight Sparkle had fancy glasses on.

Spike: [sighs] Come on, Twilight! We've been watching her for three days! Library, house, library, house. That's it!

Me: Yeah she sure is studying hard.

Twilight Sparkle: Nopony looks at her or says hello or even gives her a smile. It's like she doesn't even exist. Was she always like this?

Me: That's what I'm wondering as well about that.

Minuette: Well, she always was a little shy. But for a while there, she was really starting to come out of her shell. Remember when she threw that party? Oh, right. I think you might've been busy that day.

Me: I think Twilight mentioned that.

FLASHBACK WITHIN A FLASHBACK

Twilight Sparkle as a unicorn was walking down the streeth.

Twinkleshine: [flashback] There you are, Twilight! Moon Dancer is having a little get-together in the west castle courtyard. You wanna come?

Twilight Sparkle: [flashback] Oh, sorry, girls... I've got a lot of studying to catch up on.

She zoomed by and left.

FLASHBACK WITHIN A FLASHBACK ENDS.

Minuette: Thought she finally might be letting her guard down a little with that party. We invited her out a few times after that. But she was always too busy studying. So, eventually, we just stopped asking.

Me: Oh man.

Twilight Sparkle: I had no idea that party was so important to her.

Me: I wasn't there when it happened so I wouldn't know.

Twilight Sparkle: I've gotta find a way to make it up to her!

Me: We all will.

Inside the library, we went in.

[door opens]

[door closes]

Me: (Whispering) Wow. So this is the Canterlot Library. It's amazing.

[quill writing]

I got to reading some books on magic.

Twilight Sparkle: [gasps] [feigned surprise] Oh, my gosh! Moondancer?! Is that—

Ponies: Shh!

Me: Sorry.

Twilight Sparkle: Moondancer, can I talk to you for a min—

Moondancer: Shh!

She saw that they were in a force field bubble. I was reading some books on Equestrian Magic and they were interesting.

Me: (In my head) Hmm. Interesting.

I looked at a plant and waved my hand and it glowed red and the plant formed into a more beautiful plant.

Me: (In my head) WHOA! That is amazing! Equestrian Magic is amazing.

Moondancer: What is this?

Twilight Sparkle: Eh, a bubble of silence. I haven't seen you in a while and I thought it might be nice to catch up.

Moondancer: For what purpose?

Twilight Sparkle: You know, 'cause we're friends.

[bubble pops]

Ponies: Shhh!

Me: (In my head) Sounded like someone blew a bubble with bubblegum.

She pulled out a book and Twilight was behind it.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm really sorry to bother you. I was just hoping we would go outside and talk for a bit.

She put the books back and left.

I read every book of Star Swirl's magic and put them on the cart.

Me: (In my head) Wow. I didn't know that there were so many spells in magic. So cool.

Moondancer was reading.

[page turning]

Twilight Sparkle: [whispering] I'm sorry I skipped your party.

Moondancer: [screams]

[book closes]

Ponies: [Shhh! Quiet!]

Moondancer: [growls] [whispering] Why won't you leave me alone? I'm trying to study! You've got the wrong pony! I don't have parties!

Twilight Sparkle: [whispering] You did once. And I was so caught up in my own studying that I didn't take your feelings into account.

Moondancer: [whispering] Look, Twilight Twinkle—

Twilight Sparkle: [whispering] Sparkle.

Moondancer: [whispering] Whatever! I just need to be alone so I can study without some crazy pony trying to make friends, all right?!

Twilight Sparkle: [whispering] Fine!

Moondancer: [whispering] Wait. How did you get into my book like that?

Later me, Twilight and Moondancer were walking to Twilight's old tower.

Twilight Sparkle: I've been studying a new studying technique. I can only do it for a few minutes, but you'd be amazed how much you can pick up when you're actually in a book!

Me: That's really cool.

Moondancer: It's one of Hayscartes' methods.

Twilight Sparkle: You know Hayscartes?

Moondancer: Of course! He's a genius!

Twilight Sparkle: I have a copy of his Treatise on Ponies, you know.

Moondancer: [gasps] That's amazing. But it's also an honor to meet the famous J.D. Knudson. I love all your adventures and they are amazing.

Me: I'm glad you do. Also the library of Canterlot has an amazing selection. And the magic to learn from here is amazing.

I formed a red energy beam and fired it from my finger at a tree and turned it into solid gold.

Twilight Sparkle and Moondancer were amazed.

Twilight Sparkle: WHOA! How did you do that?

Me: Gold Transfiguration spell. I just learned it. I've been reading all the books on magic over the last couple of hours while you were trying to talk to Moondancer.

Twilight Sparkle: Wow! That's amazing!

Moondancer: You are really gifted J.D.

Me: Well I get that all the time but I'm not one to brag.

We arrived at her old tower.

Moondancer: What is this place?

Twilight Sparkle: This is where I used to live. You mean, I never had you over?

Moondancer: Wow! A first edition of Principles of Magic! Hey, didn't I give this to you?

Twilight Sparkle: Maybe?

Moondancer: I did! Look, I even wrote something! "To my friend, Twilight Sparkle. Thanks for introducing me to the classics." I can see by the fact that you left it here that it meant a lot to you.

Me: She was on an assignment Moondancer.

Twilight Sparkle: Look, I didn't bring you over here for even more poignant reminders of what a bad friend I was. We brought you here to give you this. You can come here whenever you want and study to your heart's content.

She gave Moondancer a key.

Moondancer: Really?

Twilight Sparkle: But first, you've gotta do something for me.

Moondancer: What?

Twilight Sparkle: Have dinner with me and J.D. and our old friends tonight.

Moondancer: I can't. I'm reorganizing my biology scrolls.

Twilight Sparkle: I've been spending a lot of time with Minuette, Twinkleshine, and Lemon Hearts since I've been back. They really miss you.

Me: Yeah they sure do.

Moondancer: Look! I already told you! The last thing I need is a bunch of ridiculous friend-making keeping me from studying!

Twilight Sparkle: Moon Dancer, wait! A wise pony once taught me that there's more to life than dusty old books!

Me: That's right. Wow. That's very philosophical.

Moondancer: I tried friendship and it's just not for me. Now, if you'll excuse me...

Twilight Sparkle: (Gets an idea) What if I taught you Hayscartes' method?

Later we were at a restaurant.

Minuette: So, uh, what are you studying these days?

Moondancer: Science, magic, history, economics, pottery. Things like that.

Me: Some of the things I like doing in high school. Good choices.

Moondancer: Thanks. My favorite adventure was when you went after Nerissa.

Me: That was one of our most intense battles. But that's one of my favorites too.

Minuette: Yowza! [chuckles] You planning on being a professor or something?

Moondancer: No.

Me: I should introduce you to my friend Lisa Loud. She likes studying just as much as you do and she is a college university professor.

Moondancer: Wow.

Minuette: So you're just... studying.

Moondancer: Can I go now?

Twilight Sparkle: Moondancer, please.

Minuette: It's all right, Twilight. We're having a good time. Right, everypony?

Twinkleshine and Lemon Hearts: [unsure sounds]

Me: I'm having a good time.

Minuette: So, uh... Spike, tell Moon Dancer that story 'bout how Twilight had to read a book about doing a sleepover!

Spike: [inhales]

Moondancer: Slumber 101? I've read that.

Me: Oh yeah that was a good one. I read that too and it's great. I'm thinking about letting Lori use it one of these days.

Twilight Sparkle: Oh! [chuckles] Really? Well, uh, did you know Lemon Hearts here works at the Canterlot palace?

Lemon Hearts: Uh, yeah. It's true. I do the big events mostly. State dinners, that sort of thing.

Me: That's a big honor.

All but Moondancer: [awkward noises]

Moondancer: Ugh!

Twilight teleported out.

[teleportation zap]

Twilight Sparkle: Moondancer! [teleportation zap] You've gotta give friendship a chance!

Moondancer: Dah! I gave friendship a chance a long time ago! It didn't work out then – it isn't gonna work out now!

I teleported out in a flash of red light and Twilight gasped.

Me: Moondancer that's not true. Friendship is a grand thing to have and it lasts forever. Because you keep your friends close to your heart just like me over the centuries and the millennia.

Moondancer: Centuries? Millennia? Are you immortal?

Me: I sure am. Lived for over 150,000 years. It was a long journey and a very strange story.

Moondancer: Wow! That's incredible! I'll have to hear it later.

She left.

Spike: Twilight, are you all right?

She had tears well up.

Twilight Sparkle: No. No, I'm not.

I walked with her.

Spike: W-Where are you goin'?

Twilight Sparkle: I don't know, Spike. I really messed this one up. That party was everything to her. I can only imagine what it must've felt like when I didn't show up.

Me: I know Twilight. But lets see what it was like.

I used my powers and showed a memory.

We saw Moondancer getting ready.

Minuette: [flashback] Hey, Moon Dancer! Look at this spread, huh?

Moondancer: [flashback] Thank you so much for coming!

Twinkleshine: [flashback] Of course. We wouldn't miss one of our best friends' parties.

Moondancer: [flashback] Is Twilight coming?

[beat]

Moondancer: [flashback] Oh. Okay.

Minuette: [flashback] Hey, we'll still have fun, right? [nervous chuckle]

Moondancer: [flashback] Sure...

Moondancer was sad.

Me: Oh man. It broke her heart.

Twilight Sparkle: If there was only a way to undo the damage...

Me: Maybe there still is and I know just the pony to help.

Twilight Sparkle: I know what I need to do. And we know just who can help us.

Me: Yep.

Me and Twilight: Pinkie Pie.


The next day Minuette came up to the tower.

Minuette: [knocks on door] Huh. Guess they must've gone back to Ponyville.

Pinkie Pie: Wheeeeeeeee!

Minuette: Huh?

We were flying back with Pinkie Pie.

Me: Hang of guys!

Pinkie Pie: [laughing] Whoooooaaa!

[crash]

Me: WHOA!

I landed.

Me: Man that was a crash landing.

Pinkie Pie: That was awesome! We gotta go flying more often, Twilight!

Me: Don't worry Pinkie, we always have fun flying.

Minuette: There you are! [laughs] I thought you threw in the old towel and headed home!

Me: Well you're half right Minuette.

Twilight Sparkle: I did head home. But not to throw in the towel. I went to get my secret weapon. Minuette, meet—

Minuette: Hey! Pinkie Pie!

Pinkie Pie: Hi, Minuette! (They hugged) Twilight, you didn't say Minuette would be here!

Twilight Sparkle: You two know each other?

Pinkie Pie: Oh, sure! She was one of Cadance's bridesmaids! We hang out all the time when she's in Ponyville! Didn't you know that? Ha! And you call yourself the Princess of Friendship!

Me: I wasn't there when that happened too. But That's neat!

Pinkie Pie: It sure is. Twilight briefed me on the way here. We'll need fifteen bags of confetti and as many hooves as we can get.

Minuette: Let's go! We can pass by the donut place on the way!

Spike: And what are we gonna do?

Twilight Sparkle: Just come with me.

Me: Lets do it.

Moondancer came out of the library and she saw a trail of books.

Moondancer: Ooh! A Brief History of the Wagon Harness! Huh? The Life and Times of Morari the Maneless?

She saw a trail of books and followed it and picked up the books and then she saw the party.

Moondancer: [gasps]

[books thudding]

Me: Hi Moondancer.

Moondancer: What is this?

Twilight Sparkle: It's a party. For you.

Pinkie Pie popped out of a cake.

Pinkie Pie: Surprise!

Twilight Sparkle: Come on in!

Moondancer: Thanks but no thanks. I don't do parties.

[teleportation zap]

Twilight Sparkle: I know. And I think it's my fault. Back when we were in school together, you invited me to a party. I was so focused on my studies that I didn't show up.

Moondancer: Big deal!

Me: Moondancer.

Twilight Sparkle: It was a big deal. And now that I realize how important friendship is, I'd like to make up for my mistake with a new party. A party in honor of my friend Moon Dancer! Please, you've got to let me make this up to you.

She handed her a piñata stick.

Moondancer: And you think this is gonna do it, huh?

Twilight Sparkle: Uh, yes?

Me: Yeah? Why?

Moon Dancer: Well, sure, why wouldn't it? That was only the first time I put myself out there, and then you didn't even bother to show up! Then you left town without saying goodbye even though we were supposed to be friends! I was humiliated! I felt like I wasn't important! I never wanted to let myself be hurt like that again! Those three finally convinced me that I had value! That other ponies might like me and want to be my friend! And you! Didn't! Show! Up! [screams, sobs]

I went over and comforted her.

Pinkie Pie: [whispers to Spike]

Me: Moondancer, Twilight was really busy. She couldn't help it. It was an assignment from Princess Celestia and the world was in danger. Just like us and everyone in Team Loud Phoenix Storm we always fight to protect the entire universe from the forces of evil. It's a big job and a huge responsibility and with great power comes great responsibility. Just like Twilight. She was given a big job and that will always be a huge responsibility. She didn't understand friendship before but now look at her. She is a great friend to everyone and she came here to Canterlot to reconcile with her friends that she didn't have time to spend with and for that she's really sorry.

Twilight Sparkle: That's right. This party can't make up for the way I hurt you. But please, don't let my mistake be the reason you can't be friends with anypony else.

Me: And you can always have me as a friend too. It was because of you that I learned some cool spells in Equestrian Magic.

I fired a beam of red light and it turned the cake into a massive and beautiful delicious chocolate, vanilla and strawberry syrup fountain.

Moondancer: Whoa!

Minuette: We were your friends then and we'd be honored to be your friends now.

Me: And all of Team Loud Phoenix Storm can be your friends too.

Moondancer: [sobs, sniffles] Really?

I nodded and gave her a spare handkerchief.

Moondancer: Thank you.

She blew her nose in it.

Twilight showed her three ponies.

Moondancer: What? That's the librarian! The bookseller! My sister!

Minuette: You've got a lot of friends, Moon Dancer.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm sorry, Moondancer. I've faced magical creatures, the end of Equestria, all sorts of things. But seeing how my actions affected you, that was one of the worst feelings I've ever had.

Me: And we faced a lot of challenges ourselves. We faced epic battles, villains that are ruthless, dangerous monsters, many challenges including villains killing our friends, villains that were putting the entire universe in danger, going to planets and galaxies all over the universe and even universes other than this one. Most of it's all a nightmare that will forever haunt us. But Twilight is really sorry that she didn't show. It broke your heart and for that she is really sorry. Words can't even begin to describe how sorry she is. So please give her another chance. She came here to Canterlot to reconcile with her friends. So please give her another chance for her.

Moondancer: [sobs] Thank you, Twilight. Thank you J.D. I'm so sorry I was such a jerk and I never realized how much I needed to hear that. (They hugged) (I smiled) Now come on, everypony! Let's party! Right?

Pinkie Pie: Right!

She pulled out her party cannon and fired.

[party cannon squeak]

All: YAAAAAAY!

Me: ALL RIGHT!

[polka]

[ponies chattering]

We had an awesome party.

Me: (Drinks Punch) Mmm! The punch is delicious.

Spike: It sure is.

Me: Oh right.

I went up to Moondancer.

Me: Moondancer? The reason we also came was to ask if you want to join my new branch team I made for the team. It's called The Knights of The Friendship Table.

I showed her the flag.

Moondancer: Wow! That's a great flag. And I heard from Minuette that you had them join.

Me: I sure did.

Moondancer: And I would be honored. But thank you for helping me make some new friends even if they are my old friends.

Me: You're welcome Moondancer. And I'm glad you could join us.

Moondancer: It's awesome.

Spike: Um, Moon Dancer? It got kinda banged up, but here's a little something I wanted to give you back at your first party.

She opened Spike's present and it was a picture of Twilight Sparkle, herself, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Minuette and Lyra Heartstrings all having cupcakes.

Me: That's a great photo.

Spike: It sure is.

Moondancer: It so beautiful.

FLASHBACK ENDS

Nico: Wow. That was awesome.

Lincoln: So that's how you met Twilight's friends.

Me: It sure is and I helped Moondancer realize how much friendship is to everyone.

Sunset Shimmer: That's amazing. I'm glad you were able to help her.

Me: I know.

Nico: How did you get Sunset Shimmer to reconcile with the girls?

Me: That wasn't as difficult as helping Moondancer.

FLASHBACK 2

In Canterlot, I was walking to the park and Sunset Shimmer was with me.

Me: I know you're nervous Sunset but I'll be with you the entire time.

Sunset Shimmer: Thanks J.D.

We came up to them.

Lyra Heartstrings: Hey J.D.

Me: Hi girls.

They saw Sunset hiding behind me.

Minuette: (Bitterly) What is SHE doing here?

Me: Minuette please. Sunset Shimmer just has something she wants to tell you. (Looks at her) Go ahead Sunset.

Sunset went up to them full of remorse and guilt.

Sunset Shimmer: Girls, I am so sorry I treated you all so badly. The reason I did was because I was a powerhungry monster that cared about nothing more than becoming princess. I turned down all your friendships and I was a monster. It was thanks to Twilight Sparkle and her friends that I was able to change my ways and become a better pony and person. And for all that I've done to you and for how I treated you and betrayed you, I'm so sorry.

They thought about it.

Lemon Hearts: Oh Sunset.

They went up to her and hugged her.

Twinkleshine: We forgive you.

Minuette: We're just so happy you changed.

Moondancer: I'm glad too.

I smiled.

FLASHBACK 2 ENDS

Nico: Wow. That's great she reconciled with them too.

Lyra Heartstrings: It sure is. I'm happy that you helped Moondancer.

Me: We all are.

Nico: That's a big deed.

Vince: It sure is.

Carol: Yeah it is.


Later in Nico's room, Nico was fast asleep and then inside his mind, Nico was going through all the files in his brain and organizing them, when suddenly a massive bright flash of light appeared and Nico shielded his eyes and he saw an angel appear. It was none other than Salem!

Nico: Salem?! Is that you?!

Salem: Yes Nico. It is me. You saved me from myself and for that I will always be forever grateful.

Nico: I always knew you were gonna come back. But I didn't expect you to be in my mind.

Salem: I told J.D. while you were having problems with the Digimon Emperor and Organization XIII that I would come and help. But I would be your guardian angel. Like Oscar who has Ozma inside his head, I will be inside your head as a guardian angel.

Nico: Wow.

Salem: I told J.D. not to tell you or anyone else. Only May because she is the one closest to you. So I had him keep it a secret till I would come. But I vowed that I would always be here for you as my way to redeem myself for all the pain and suffering I caused to all of Remnant and protect you from future threats that may invade your mind. This is my punishment for all the pain and suffering I caused over the millennia and I will atone for it by protecting you and giving advice.

Nico: That's amazing. I'm glad you want to redeem yourself like this.

Later Nico woke up and he went and looked in the mirror and saw that he had Salem's emblem emblazoned in the middle of his forehead. But instead of it being the emblem of Salem's Inner Circle, it was the emblem she had before she turned evil.

Salem: (Through the Emblem to Nico) Like my Emblem on your head?

The emblem glows and flickers yellow when she talks.

Nico: Wow. It wasn't a dream. This is amazing.

Salem: It sure is.

Later, Nico came down and told us about Salem being inside him.

Maria: So basically, you'll also help to keep villains from controlling Nico, right?

Salem: Of course. (to me and the Loud Kids) Especially during times where you all are too busy being angry at villains like Mr. Burns to help Nico when needed.

Lynn: (angrily) Is there anything people aren't going to hate us for lately?!

Me: Lynn calm down. Lets not make things worse than they already are. Besides, Salem came to me when Nico was having problems with the Digimon Emperor.

Lori: But how?

Me: I was visited by her and she told me not to tell you all she was coming.

May: J.D. was only allowed to tell me and promised not to tell anyone else.

Me: Salem is not bad anymore. This is her way of redeeming herself after causing all the crimes she did to Remnant.

Ruby Rose: I remember that! Nico said that Salem was gonna come back as a better person one day.

Me: Exactly. And there's more to Salem than we know. Oscar can tell you all that.

Oscar: That's right. I am Ozma's reincarnation as you all know. And Salem loved me more than all life itself and she did all those things because she loved me.

Salem: I sure did. And now I can help you all by giving Nico advise and only come out and control him when the need arises.

May: What's to stop you from stabbing us in the back the first chance you get?

Salem: Even if I wanted to do that, I have no more allies left. All of my followers are either banished to the Warp, dead or in prison, Emerald and Raven have joined you all in your two teams, and without my powers, I have no way to control the Grimm now. Being trapped in Nico's head is basically the perfect punishment for me.

Me: So in a way Nico became like a Jinchuriki.

Salem: Exactly. That's a good way to describe it. It's my form of atonement for all the pain and suffering I caused to Remnant and all of you.

Me: That's a good form of punishment. Salem, I'm very sorry you went through so much. But what the Gods of Remnant did to you was completely unjust and unfair. You were just trying to bring Ozma back and they punished you for it.

Laney: That is completely unfair.

Gabriel: I know. I tried doing the exact same things you did to bring back Emile.

Lily: And Dr. Fries did the exact same things to find a cure for his wife Nora.

Salem: Wow.

Me: But I'm glad you are now helping us and Nico, Salem.

Salem: Me too. (to Oscar) Ironic, isn't it, Oscar? You have my former lover Ozma in your head. And now, I get to experience that for myself.

Oscar: I know. It's amazing.

Me: But I think this is amazing. Now Nico has a Guardian Angel.

Lincoln: He sure does. A Guardian Angel that is trying to redeem herself.

Me: Yep.


At the White House, The President was talking to Princess Fabia, Ren Krawler, Mira Fermin and the interstellar world leaders.

Fabia Sheen: We are doing all that we can to make the World Leaders clean up their acts but so far they are not listening to us.

President: I figured they would be trying this. After all the torture and torment that Team Loud Phoenix Storm went through with the Digimon Emperor and Organization XIII. They still view them as monsters.

Ren Krawler: We're trying our best sir.

Mira Fermin: If they refuse to see reason here in the next 12 hours then we'll have no choice but to impose sanctions and penalties on them.

President: That could probably start an interstellar war.

Fabia: We're trying not to resort to that. But they need to either comply or learn the hard way.

President: I understand.


Later at the park in Gotham Royal York we were having a Bake Sale. We had all kinds of cookies, cakes and donuts.

Lync Volan: This bake sale was a very good idea.

May: It sure is. And it's the perfect first step in rebuilding the trust with the public.

Brian: This reminds me of the time when Peter turned a cookie store that Lois used to run into a strip club.

Stewie: Brian, since we don't live in Quahog anymore, we've stopped using cutaways.

Brian: Actually, Stewie, that really did happen.

Me: Really?

Brian: It sure did and it was crazy. You don't remember it Stewie because you were drunk on Cough Medicine.

Me: You were drunk on cough medicine, Stewie?

Stewie: Oh yeah that was pretty stupid of me.

Nico: Cough medicine is dangerous if you drink it like alcoholics do?

Varie: Yeah it has codeine in it.

Brian: I know.

Brian told us how it happened and more.

Me: Whoa.

Pakura: (to Brian) Considering the bikini girls that were in the cookie strip club, I'm surprised you weren't in on the idea.

Brian: (scowls) Because I didn't feel like looking at girls wearing only bikinis while my best friend was drunk on cough medicine.

Me: I don't blame you. You and Stewie are like brothers and he has done so much for you even long before we destroyed Quahog.

Lois: That fucking idiot! He ruined me because of that! I don't know what I ever saw in that testicle chinned son of a bitch!

Me: Peter always was a stupid and brainless alcoholic drunk. No offense Homer.

Homer: None taken.

Me: He has done so many stupid things that it's beyond all forms of comprehension. No offense again Homer.

Homer: Again none taken.

Me: Good.

Lois: Yeah Peter always was stupid. But I made the right choice to divorce him.

Me: You sure did. But we can help you get that cookie store of yours back Lois.

Meg: Yeah mom and your cookies are awesome.

Lois: Oh thank you sweetie and thank you guys.

Me: You're welcome.

A kid came up.

Me: Welcome to the TLPS Bake Sale.

Kid: Awesome! Your sweets all look awesome!

Me: Thanks. See any you like?

Kid: I sure do. You have awesome s'mores cookies. I'll take 4 of them.

He handed us 10 bucks.

Me: Thanks.

He took 4 of them.

Kid: I don't care what those monsters say about you guys. You guys are all my heroes.

Me: Thank you. That means a lot to us.

The kid left and shared them with his friends.

We were selling sweets like hot cakes.

Crankcase: Where did Peter even get that idea?

Joe Swanson: It was from Quagmire. He was the one who suggested that sex sells.

Me: Pfft. What a fucking pervert.

Nicole: I hate that guy! It's amazing that he is much worse of a pervert than Master Jiraiya or Master Roshi.

Jiraiya: Hey I resent that!

We laughed.

Then Kevin McCallister's family came.

Me: Hey guys.

Buzz: Hey J.D.

Me: Things are crazy huh?

Buzz: Yeah. (to Kevin) Look, Kevin. I'm sorry if you think we've been mistreating you again.

Kevin McCallister: I didn't know you guys went back to mistreating me again.

Linnie: That's because we haven't been. We just haven't had the chance to spend time with you with all the crazy stuff going on.

Armada Hoist: For a minute, I thought you three forgot the lesson you learned.

Jeff: How can we forget? We learned it after Metallo nearly killed us.

Me: Lots of things have been going on over the last 2 and a half years ever since Megan joined us.

Megan: Yeah its not your fault guys. You know how busy we are saving the world and the universe.

Buzz: I know. It's a big job but someone has to do it.

Lynn: Yeah. It's big but we can do it as long as we work together.

Zarya: Indeed.

Linnie: Yeah.

Jeff: The battles you have are incredible. It's so awesome how you guys always come out on top.

Me: We don't like to brag but thank you.

Rainbow Dash: They are pretty awesome.

Lightning Dust: Yeah they are.

We had a very successful bake sale and sold all our sweets and more.


Later we were getting ready.

Sparkstalker: Where do we go this time?

Me: We're going to face the Grand Duke of Owls and help Chanticleer raise the Sun.

Laney: I remember that adventure! That was amazing!

Aylene C.: It sure was.

Varie: And that was a great adventure.

Lily: Yeah it was.

Nico: What happened during that one?

Me: Oh that's right. Most of you weren't with us when it happened and we weren't called Team Loud Phoenix Storm back then. Here's what went down.

I went over the events of Chapter 98 and went over the history of The Grand Duke of Owls.


The Grand Duke of Owls is the main antagonist in the 1991 Don Bluth animated film, Rock A Doodle. He is a magical owl and he is the leader of the other owls. He hates his nephew, Hunch.

He is voiced by the late Christopher Plummer.

He is an owl who hates light. *Note the goof in his movie; He bakes a pie near an oven with only little light. Really, he is a villain who hates all types of lights: flashlights, streetlights, lamp lights, firelights, and cameralights, which is what Peepers uses to blind the Grand Duke's minions when they pull up the toy box boat to stop them from reaching the city because he doesn't want the sun ever to rise again.

He banishes Chanticleer. Edmond broke the Duke's glasses and called Chanticleer's name, this caused the Duke to turn Edmond into a kitten as punishment so he can eat him but is rescued by Patou the dog. In the climax, he becomes a giant magical being and prepares to take over the world and crushes Chanticleer and Edmond tries to revive him but the Grand Duke chokes him, rendering him unconscious and at the edge of his life. Eventually the animals revive Chanticleer by cheering him on and he crows causing the sun to come up and the Grand Duke shrinks, and his nephew, Hunch, whom he abused throughout the movie decides to abuse him because he's now smaller and weaker. It is unknown if Hunch killed the Duke or not. Because of his size, Edmond is turned back into a boy again causing Edmond's punishment to be over, and the spell to be broken. Edmond learned the error of his ways and he no longer is afraid.


Everyone gasped in shock!

Nico: WHOA! Oh man! That's crazy!

Aylene C.: Yeah. The Duke hated Chanticleer because of the Sun.

Lincoln: And used his magic to make it look like the Sun was coming up on its own and he caused the animals to banish him.

Me: But after that he caused a Perpetual Rainstorm to drench and flood the farm.

The Springfield Bullies, Patty & Selma, Cargill, Crimson Dynamo, Puff, Kangor, Spot and Krusty appeared.

Krusty: Hey hey kiddies. (Goofy Laughter)

Jimbo: Can me, Dolph, Kearney, Patty & Selma, Cargill, Crimson Dynamo, Puff, Kangor, Spot, and Krusty go with you guys?

Me: You all sure can. We're going to the world of Rock-A-Doodle.

Kearney: AWESOME! My kid loves that movie. And so do I.

Dolph: That movie was great and Glen Campbell was awesome.

Me: He sure was. My dad loves his songs and his favorite was Wichita Lineman.

Luna: Rockin choice dude.

Sam S.L.: Yeah!

Eli: This is gonna be awesome.

Me: It sure is. Lets roll!

We went to the world of Rock-A-Doodle from 1991. It was gonna be an awesome adventure.


We arrived in the world of Rock-A-Doodle and it was dark and stormy and creepy.

Sixshot: Is this the place?

Me: Yep this is it.

We walked over the hill and we saw a really horrifying sight. We saw a huge rainstorm pouring rain over the farm and the farm getting flooded by the second as the water was rising fast.

Me: Oh man! We got here just in time! Lets get to Edmond before he turns him into a cat!

Nico: Right!

We flew towards the farm!

In the Farm, the Duke came in with heavy footfalls.

Edmond: "Chanticleer?"

Grand Duke: "No... it's not Chanticleer."

Edmond: (scared) "Who...Who are you?"

Grand Duke: "You put your finger in the Duke's face, remember? These are expensive, little brat!" (tosses his broken monocle at Edmond) "But, that is not why the Duke is going to eat you."

Edmond: "Eat me?"

Grand Duke: "Oh dear, now I've gone and spoiled the surprise. Oh, always doing that." (eats a mushroom) "But you see, we creatures of the night have worked very hard to make absolutely sure that that bird does not return! And you, you, with no regard for the feelings of others, have the nerve to call him back here by name! And besides, I positively loathe rock and roll." (laughing maniacally)

Edmond: (running off) "You're not gonna eat me!

Patou: (narrating) "And that's when the Duke hit the ceiling." (The Duke literally breaks through the ceiling and uses his magic breath to stop Edmond in his tracks.) "If Edmond wanted to bring Chanticleer back to raise the sun, the Duke was gonna have somethin' to say about it."

Grand Duke: "Kittens are more digestible."

The Duke picked up Edmund. But then...

KRABBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!

A massive fiery explosion went off behind the Duke and a phoenix cry was heard as a barking noise is heard outside, and Patou charges into the room.

Patou: (narrating) "This is where I come in."

(Patou chomps the Duke's ankle. The Duke screams in pain, drops Edmond on the floor, and shakes Patou with his foot. Edmond watches the Duke then strangle Patou.)

Grand Duke: (angry) "You'll pay for this, Patou! This does not concern you."

Patou: "It does if it's about Chant-" (gets strangled by the Duke)

Me: (Offscreen) Hey Duke!

He saw me.

Me: TIME TO SHINE!

I fired a beam of light into his face and he screamed and went flying.

Me: YEAH!

Kangor: (Jamaican Accent) Edmond? Is that you, mon?

Edmund: Yeah. You all saved me. (Gasp) Guys!

Me: Long time no see Edmund!

We hugged.

Edmund: We haven't talked in a while.

Me: I know.

Edmund: And you are now the famous Team Loud Phoenix Storm!? Wow!

Me: I know. When we met the first time we weren't called Team Loud Phoenix Storm.

Edmund: I know. Wow! You have so many new teammates with you.

Me: Yeah we've been really busy.

Nico: It's a pleasure to meet you Edmund.

We introduced ourselves.

Edmund: It's an honor.

Nico: Same here.

Peepers: (offscreen) "Patou!" (Edmond sniffs for Peepers' scent and gets down on all fours.) "Patou!"

Patou: (calls out to Peepers) "I'm in here!"

Peepers: (continuing) "By my calculations, this can't possibly be the City." (checks the map) "Let's see. 367 southeast...or is it 676?

Me: Peepers!

Eli: Peepers!

Peepers: J.D.? Wow! It's great to see you all again.

Me: Same here. We grew in numbers since we were here last.

Ruckus: Dude, I don't mean to rush you. But have you seen Chanticleer?

Edmond: I know where he is actually. He's in the city.

Nico: Oh man.

Me: We got to find him and fast.

Patoo: I know.

Snipes: Yeah.

Edmund: The story is true. You all laughed at him and he ran away.

Patou: "You're right, son. We done wrong, and that's why we're searchin' for the City. We gotta find Chanti and apologize."

Chick 1: "Then he'll forgive us."

Chick 2: "Come home."

All Chicks: "And raise the sun!"

Me: But it wasn't your fault. It was the Duke. He used his dark magic to make it look like the Sun was rising on its own and because of him he plunged the farm into a perpetual rainstorm.

Nico: That's right. First we have to find Chanticleer and bring him back and kill the Duke.

Eli: That's right and we're gonna need a lot of light to face him.

Me: That's where the Light Skylanders come in.

Spotlight: We'll gladly help.

Knight Light: Yes! For the light.

Edmund: Mom, Dad, help! (thunder) Oh, Chanticleer.

Patou: "What?"

Edmond: "If he doesn't come back and crow soon, it won't shine again, and the rain will keep coming down, and the water will get higher and higher 'til, 'til... We all drown."

Snipes: "Wowie, wow, wow, wow, wow! Are we close? Are we near the City? Us magpies are just made for the city. Come on already, hurry up, Peepers!

Peepers: "We are not looking for the City. We are looking for Chanticleer.

Snipes: "Well, he's in the City, isn't he?"

Edmond: "Then, he is in the City."

Snipes: "Girls, they think they know everything. Why don't you run home, be a mousewife, make cheese."

Peepers: "Snipes, you think you're so superior."

Snipes: ""Thuperior." Nice lisp."

Peepers: "My lisp isolates and elevates me and makes me a rare specimen."

Snipes: "Ah, this is flippin' garbage!"

(Peepers and Snipes start arguing.)

Patou: (pushing them aside) "Pipe down, you two."

Me: Yeah.

Puff: I hope there's no more rain. Me and water don't go well together.

Me: We'll figure something out for you.

Edmond: "Well, I know where the City is. I've been there lots of times.

Peepers: (begging Edmond) "Edmond, would you take us to the City?"

Me: We all will. Just like we did before.

Edmund: Yeah!

Patou: (laughs)

Edmond: "And bring him home, and save Dad and Mom and the farm."

(The animals cheer.)

Snipes: "Alright, hope you can swim, guys." (He puts on his snorkel as the flood rushes into Edmond's bedroom)

Edmond: "Oh, no!"

Peepers: (gasps)

We flew and walked on the water.

(Edmond, Patou and Peepers get washed into the flood. Peepers swims through the water, coughing.)

Snipes: (screaming)

Edmond: "We don't have to swim! (grunts) We'll go by boat." (coughs)

Me: We'll be with you all the way.

Nico: That's right.

Applejack: YEEHAW! This is gonna be awesome.

Peepers: "Oh, this is serious."

Patou: "Peepers, you'll need this if those owls return." (He tosses Peepers the flashlight.)

Stuey: "Owls? Owls?"

Peepers: "Here!" (She gives Stuey the flashlight instead.)

Stuey: "Owls?"

Peepers: "I'm sticking with you." (She jumps from the back end of the bed and lands aboard the toybox.)

Patou: "Well, fellas, this is it."

Edmond: (gulps)

(Edmond, Patou, and Peepers ride the toybox towards the open gap of the house, as Snipes flies above.)

Snipes: "The City! The lights, the chicks, the food!"

Edmond: "Goodbye! Good luck with the owls!" (Edmond and his friends and us go on our big adventure to the city.)

Farm Animals: "Goodbye!"

Stuey: "Owls?" (whimpers)

Narrator: "Meanwhile, bound for the city, Edmond steered us through the perils of the flooded river."

Runabout: Summer rains, you can never– [The rain starts again.] –predict them.

Double D: It's best if you don't jinx us, Runabout. I learned that the hard way.

Runabout: Sorry.

Peepers: Starboard ho!"

Snipes: "Starboard who? Left or right?"

Edmond: "Uh-oh." (sees a giant tree ahead) "Giant tree, a hundred feet and closing!"

THUNDERCLAP!

Me: Huge Tree Coming in at 2:00!

Ed: Is it 2:00?

Eddy: Shut up Ed.

Peepers: "Jumpin' Jehosaphat! We need wind power!"

Edmond: "40 feet!"

Snipes: "Well guys, I-I think I'm slowing you down. Yeah, I'll see you later, guys."

Edmond: "30 feet!"

Snipes: "Ahh!"

Peepers: "Come on, Patou, pull on this. (Patou raises the sail.) It worked!"

Edmond: "Turn now!" (The gang steers the toy box away from the tree, as it flows down some rapids and enters the rest of the river.) "This is the right way, guys!"

Me: We're on the right track.

Then I heard Hunch doing his warcry.

Me: Uh oh! OWLS COMING IN!

Laney: I see them!

Nico: Stand ready guys!

Crimson Dynamo: I've got this! (fires missiles at the owls)

He blasted them all over in fiery explosions.

KRABBBBOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOMMMMM! KRABBBBOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!

Nico: YEAH! Nice shooting.

Woody Woodpecker flew up to Hunch.

Woody Woodpecker: Guess who? (Pecks Hunch on his head)

Hunch: OOOOOOWWWWWW!

Woody Woodpecker: (Trademark Laugh)

Nurzak: I do hope that's the last of them.

Me: Not quite.

Edmond: "Oh, no!"

Patou: "Get the lid!"

Snipes: (yelps)

Me: Everyone get tiny!

I had used my powers to shrink us into toy size and we were all in the Toybox. We went through an Aqueduct pipe.

Me: Wow. Close one.

Eli: No kidding.

Snipes: (pecking the toy box) "L-Let me outta here! I can't breathe! Help, I need air!"

Edmond: "What's wrong with him?"

Peepers: "He's claustrophobic. Teeny-weeny tight spaces make him very, very nervous."

Me: I don't blame him.

Water was pouring in through the walls of the chest.

Edmond: "Uh-oh. Uh-oh!"

(Thanks to Snipes, the water pours into the holes that Snipes has made.)

Patou: "Get him away from the lid!"

I tied him up and we sealed the holes.

Me: Close one.

Nico: Just hold together guys.

We got out of the water pipe and arrived in a water path.

Peepers: "That was close. Mercy."

Me: But at least we're out.

Edmond: "Oh, no!"

(A waterfalls lies straight ahead.)

Me: Uh oh!

Peepers: "Abandon ship! Abandon ship!"

All: (screaming)

(The toy box falls down the waterfall against a series of sewer pipes and splashes into the sewage below. It comes apart instantly, as the four friends emerge from the sewage and climb onto an oil drum, wheezing.)

Me: Whoa! Good thing we can fly and breathe underwater.

Eli: Yeah.

Edmond: (curious) "What's that smell?"

Snipes: (frustrated) "Garbage. Ah, this is pathetic. I risk my life and what do I get? Garbage! Why, I've never been so-" (He notices the bright lights of the City ahead.) "Wow!"

Edmond: "The City!"

Snipes: "Wow!"

Me: This is gonna be interesting.

Peepers: "It's so beautiful."

Patou: (climbs on the drum) "Now, all we got to do is find Chanticleer..." (chuckles) "...And that's gonna be like hunting for a needle in a haystack."

Me: Yeah no kidding.

Later we looked in the phone book.

Edmond: (reading the phone book) "Chalmers, Chanta, Chantilly, Chantz. He's not in here."

Me: Tartar Sauce. Lets keep moving.

(He leaps down from my arms and leads all of us into the City.)

Edmund: "Let's go!"

(The camera shifts to a shot of the friends and us looking high and low for Chanticleer, as the song "Come Back to You" plays.)

Patou: (narrating, overlapping the song) "You ever get that feeling when you're lookin' for something that it's right under your sniffer? I know it seems crazy, but it was almost like we could hear his voice calling to us. You know, like he was just waiting for us to come and ask him back. But we looked everywhere, and we talked with everyone. But, nobody had heard of Chanticleer, nobody. Funny thing was, he was right under our nose the whole time. Or should I say, we were under his."

(The camera cuts to a shot of the friends and us sitting outside a nightclub, as an audience cheers for a singer inside the building.)

Patty: We're never going to find Chanticleer at this rate!

Eli: I have a feeling I know where he is.

Edmond: "No, Patou, that's not how it goes. For the hundredth time, it's over, around, under, and through, that's how Patou ties his shoe. Now you say it."

Patou: (Groans)

Me: You'll get it Patou. It takes practice.

Eli: Yeah.

Meanwhile, Hunch, now wearing his sunglasses and singing his theme song, as he flies into the city, just passing through a billboard that says "Dairy King" with an elephant drinking a shake. He passes through the elephant's mouth, as he pulls out a telescope.

Hunch: (spotting the animals and us) "Ooh, there you are! Pilot to bombardier: Enemy target below! I'm going in for a closer look! Cover me!" (He swoops down, making airplane noises, and crash-lands in a nearby bush.)

Peepers: (gasps) "What was that?"

Eli: I think it's one of the owls.

Me: I feel it. It's Hunch.

(Hunch sneaks out from a bush and pulls out his Swiss Army knife. It produces a corkscrew, until Hunch shakes the knife again, pulling up a dagger.)

Hunch: (giggles) "Complete atrocitation." (He hides behind a prop.)

Edmond: "Alright you guys, we've rested long enough. They're counting on us back at the farm."

Me: That's right.

Peepers: "Well, if you ask me-"

Snipes: "We didn't."

Peepers: (surprised, gasping) "Jumpin' Jehosaphat!

Me: What is it Peepers?

Edmond: "What?"

Peepers: "It's him!" (points to something)

Snipes: "Who?"

We looked at the building behind us.

Peepers: "No wonder we couldn't find him, he's changed his name!"

(A large, 20 ft. high, neon-lit Chanticleer prop being dubbed "The King" is shown in front of the animals. The building, Pinky's Palace, is also shown in front of the prop.)

Patou: "Chanticleer is the King?"

Edmond: "The King?"

Me: That name has already been taken back over 40 years ago.

Patou: "Ooh, your Highness!"

Eli: A rooster Elvis.

I turned on my X-Ray vision and showed inside and we heard him sing.

(The camera cuts inside Pinky's Palace, where attractive swan girls are waiting for the show to begin.)

Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, the King!"

Patou: (narrating) "Old Chanticleer may have stopped crowin', but he hadn't stopped using that voice of his."

Chanticleer: (singing) "Let me be your rooster,

and let me roost with you."

Girls: (screaming)

Chanticleer: (singing) "Let me be your rooster,

and let me hear your sweet voice coo."

Chorus: (vocalizing)

Chanticleer: (singing) "Girl, you've thrown me for a loop.

Well, you're the number one chick in the chicken coop!"

Patou: (narrating) "Chanticleer had become a star."

Chanticleer: (singing) "I wanna, rock, rock-a-doodle to you,

I wanna rock, rock, rock 'til the day is through,

I wanna rock, rock-a-doodle-doo through the night!"

Chorus: (singing) "I wanna rock!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Rock, rock 'til the morning light,

well it ain't right to rock alone.

It takes two, I do believe,

I'm wanna rock-a-doodle-doodle to you!"

Chorus: "To you!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me,"

Audience Member: (faints)

Chanticleer: (singing) "I'm wanna rock-a-doodle-doodle to you,"

Chorus: "To you!"

Chanticleer: (continues singing) "Like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me!"

Chorus: "Rock-a-doodle-doodle..."

(An attractive pheasant, Goldie, watches the King perform and sticks out her tongue, jealously.)

Patou: (narrating) "But, not everybody liked the King. Goldie here was jealous of him."

Pinky: "...less my manager's fee of 60%." (He pushes aside a stack of dollar bills.)

Goldie: "But, Pinky, I just have to know when."

Pinky: (growls, leaping onto his desk) "Goldie, will you not bother me with this right now? You've gotta go on in two minutes." (He hits his golf ball around the desk, using it as a golf hole, as the golf ball lands in Pinky's cigarette tray.)

Goldie: "But, I'm too good for the chorus!" (She huffs and walks over to Pinky.) "What's he got that I ain't got?" (She stands on a coffee table.)

Pinky: (laughs, drinking a martini) "A voice."

Chanticleer: (singing) "I wanna rock, rock-a-doodle through the night..."

Chorus: "I wanna rock!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Rock, rock, 'til the morning light..." (He jumps on a prop record and moonwalks his way to his chorus boys.)

Patou: (narrating, overlapping the song) "Fortunately for us, Goldie was a lot smarter than she sounded and a lot nicer too. She just didn't know it yet."

Chanticleer: (singing) "...Like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me, yeah!"

Chorus: "Rock-a-doodle, rock-a-doodle, rock-a-doodle-doo to me!"

(The camera cuts back to Pinky's office.)

Pinky: "Lookie, Goldie, when I found him, he was a nobody. Nobody wanted him, nobody cared about him." (grabs a record and spray-paints it in gold) "But, I picked him up out of the gutter and now look at him."

(The camera zooms in through the record's needle hole and focuses back on Chanticleer.)

Chanticleer: (singing) "Well, it ain't right to rock alone..."

(The camera cuts back to Pinky's office.)

Pinky: "Everybody starts in the chorus. Goldie. Of course-" (snickers) "You could give up showbiz!"

Goldie: (horrified, clutching onto a tiki statue) "Pinky!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "I wanna rock-a-doodle-doodle to you,

Chorus: "To you!"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Just like you rock-a-doodle-doodle to me!" (He runs to a prop needle, jumps on it, and spins around for a final pose.)

Chorus: "Rock-a-doodle-doo to me!"

Audience: (cheering)

Chanticleer: "Thank you, thank you very much. I love you! I love you!"

Me: He sure has a great voice.

Nico: Yeah he does. He sure is talented.

Coloratura: He sure is. Just like me.

Applejack: No arguments there.

Bai Tza: If anymore rain occurs, I'll just use my powers to stop it.

Me: Good thinking.

Edmond: "Now that we found him, how do we get in to see him?"

Me: Good question. He's gonna have bodyguards all over the place.

(Hunch stands behind the Chanticleer prop, armed with his knife and giggling. He jumps out and prepares to go in for the kill.)

Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, the King is leaving the building."

SMASH!

Hunch: (The door slams into him.) "OOOOOWWW!"

(A red carpet rolls out the doors, followed by the King's adoring fans and Pinky's group of security guard toads surrounding their manager and Chanticleer.)

Bouncers: (singing) "Out of the way! Move it, move it, move it!"

Edmond: "Chanticleer! King, over here!" (waves his hands)

Max: "Don't touch the star!"

Bouncers: (singing) "Try, you won't get very far!
We'll bounce you once,
bounce you twice,
If you get out of line,
we're not very nice!
We'll bounce, bounce you all over the place!
Bounce, bounce, bounce, bounce, if we don't like your face!"

Max: "Get away from the star!"

(The Bouncers have escorted Pinky and Chanticleer to their private chopper. Pinky tips Max and climbs up the stairs following Chanticleer.)

Patou: (narrating) "Chanticleer was a star alright. But, it's hard to be happy without friends, even if you are famous." (Pinky shuts the helicopter door, and the helicopter takes off.) "I reckon he'd be awfully glad to see us, if we could just figure a way to get near him."

Audience: (chanting) "We want King! We want King!"

Hunch: (dizzily, emerging from the carpet) "Aggravation." (The blade slides off the handle.)

Me: This is gonna be tougher than we thought guys. Those frog guys are all over him like a bad rash.

Eli: Yeah.

Nico: I can take them on. I've handled tough creeps like them before.

Me: So have I. But right now we need a plan.

Later at Pinky's Palace, a large crowd is gathered outside, as a seller is selling penguin suits to the customers.

Seller: "Penguin suits, two for a dollar! You wanna see the King? Come and get your penguin suits! Remember: No dogs, humans, birds, or mices."

(Inside the nightclub, Edmond, in his penguin suit is writing a letter to Chanticleer.)

Edmond: (writing the letter) " "Dear Chanticleer, we're sorry. Come home, your friends." (He passes the note to his friends, all wearing penguin suits and we are hiding under the tables) "Here guys, come on, sign this." (to Snipes) "Here."

Me: Just be careful guys.

Snipes: "Must you bother me whilst I dine?"

Peepers: "Snipes, sign this."

Snipes: "Oh heavens. Where have you been all my life? Lasagna a la pasta."

Patou: "Just sign it."

Snipes: "Ah, sure."

(A suspicious-looking rhinoceros waiter stands at their table.)

Peepers: (to the waiter) "Excuse me, sir, would you please see that the King gets this?"

Edmond: "Yeah, it's really important."

Snipes: "Oh, and waiter? We asked for light cola. This stuff weighs a ton!"

(He obliviously pours his drink into his penguin suit, causing the suit to overflow in front of the waiter.)

Rhino Waiter: "Hmm." (on the walkie talkie) "Get me the boss."

(At the same time, Pinky talks to Goldie about his plan, as Goldie sits on a prop pearl.)

Goldie (hesitantly) "It sounds bad, Pinky"

Pinky: "It's only a little bad, not a big bad. Look, he's lonely, he needs a friend. And that bad little human wants to steal him away. You don't want that, do ya?"

Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, Pinky's Palace proudly presents the King!"

(The audience cheers as a diving suit is lowered onto the stage, revealing the King.)

Chanticleer: "Thank you, thank you very much."

Audience: (cheering)

Patou: "Would you look at that?"

Peepers: (amazed) "Chanticleer?"

Chanticleer: (singing) "Well down in Tupelo,

I was so alone.

I never had no money,

to have no honey for my own.

That's why I'm treasure hunting-"

Chorus: (vocalizing, appearing from a trap door)

Chanticleer: "Treasure hunting for my love..."

Chorus: "He's treasure hunting for his love."

Chanticleer: (singing) "Well I've been everywhere,

searching high and low.

But I ain't found no rainbow yet,

that has a pot of gold.

Well, I'm treasure hunting-"

(Chanticleer tosses his cape to his admiring fans, who grab the cape and tear it in seperate pieces for their own. Snipes raises his head from a cherry pie.)

Peepers: "You know, I think he dyed his hair."

Patou: "Hey, what are you doin', little fella?"

Edmond: (folding the note into a paper plane) "Something I learned in school."

Max: (seeing them) "Hey! You boys is dead meat." (He glares at them, tearing an ad apart.)

Me: Get him!

We went at Max and I punched him and the bouncers in their faces.

Me: Take that frog boy!

Nico kicked them in the face again.

Edmond: "Chanticleer!"

He threw the note.

Chanticleer: (singing) "Good King Neptune said he'd help me find my treasure far below the sea.."

Chorus: "Far below the sea!"

The plane note got stuck in a prop shark and I punched a frog in his face and kicked him in the stomach and Eli slashed him all over.

Edmond: "Patou!" (Patou helps him get on.)

Chanticleer: "So, I keep treasure hunting.."

Goldie: "Do you promise no one gets hurt?"

Pinky: "No one gets hurt. You just do the number, make him happy, and keep him away from that bad little human!"

Me: (Telepathically to Goldie) Goldie don't believe a word he's saying. Edmund is not bad. We aren't. Pinky and the Duke are bad. They are using you. Just don't let him know we're on to him.

(Edmond, Snipes, and Patou are dressed as lobsters, until Snipes trips over and falls on top of Edmond, followed by Patou.)

Chanticleer: "Treasure hunting for my love..."

Chorus: "He's treasure hunting for his love."

Pinky: (sees them) "Hey, there's no lobsters in this number. Get them outta here!" (Two of his bouncers run to the stage, until Pinky drags them aside.) "Wait a minute, don't spoil the show, huh?" (He gives them shark costumes.)

Chanticleer: (singing, swinging onto the stage) "That treasure's all I'm thinking of!"

Chorus: "Thinking of."

Chanticleer: "Thinking of."

Chorus: "Thinking of."

We were fighting the bouncers all over and smashing their faces in all over.

(The bouncers come for Edmond, Snipes, and Patou, who make a break for it.)

Chanticleer: "Well, I got treasure hunting fever,"

All: "Yeah-Yeah!"

(Edmond and the shorter bouncer climb on a rope ladder. Peepers stands on a control box and pulls a lever that raises the sharks higher.)

Chanticleer: "Well, I got treasure hunting fever,"

All: "Yeah-Yeah!"

Chanticleer: "Well, I got treasure hunting fever,"

All: "Yeah-Yeah!"

(Edmund grabbed the note)

Chanticleer: "Well, I got treasure hunting fever...for love!"

Chorus: "Got that treasure hunting fever!"

(Edmond luckily puts the note in Chanticleer's hand.)

Chanticleer: "Yeah, I got treasure hunting fever...for love!"

Me: Yeah!

The Bouncers were beaten to within an inch of their lives.

Pinky: "Now!" (He rudely shoves Goldie onto the stage. She halfheartedly twirls around and meets Chanticleer, grabbing the note from him and touching his privates.)

Goldie: (singing) "Deep deep, the trouble you're in,

I've thrown you to the sharks, and you can't swim."

(Edmond, us and the gang watch Chanticleer and Goldie's introduction from the ship.)

Patou: "Oh, no." (He bitterly looks at Goldie, while Snipes sticks out his tongue at Goldie.)

(Soon, the camera cuts to another part of the city, where it pans up from the streets to a large penthouse resembling Chanticleer's farm on top of a skyscraper. Chanticleer and Goldie are sitting on a perch at the top of the barn.)

Patou: (narrating) "Well, you can take the rooster out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the rooster. Old Chanticleer had found himself a city perch sorta tailored to remind him of the farm he'd left behind. Trouble was, with Goldie on the scene, he wasn't feelin' so lonesome for us anymore, which was exactly the way Pinky wanted it, 'cause that was exactly the way the Grand Duke wanted it. There was just one problem with their plan, of course: Goldie was only supposed to pretend to fall in love with Chanticleer, but she was falling in love for real, and that can really change a pheasant."

(A bouncer, standing on a platform above the perch, lowers a tray of King wine bottles down to their couch, as Goldie feeds him some soda.)

Goldie: (singing) "Love has said hello,

you don't know...what that means,

really means to me..."

(Edmond and the gang watch them date from another skyscraper.)

Patou: "Ooooh, I think we've lost him."

Edmond: "What do you mean? He's right there."

Peepers: "Oh, no, no, he ain't. He's a thousand miles away."

Edmond: "Huh?"

Peepers: (sighs) "Isn't it romantic? When roosters fall in love, they lose all reason."

Me: Yeah but this was a rotten time for love to show. Especially in a time of crisis.

Nico: Yeah.

Eli: But it's so beautiful. Like with Lincoln and his harem and me and Nunnally.

Me: Yeah.

Snipes: (disgustedly) "Aaah, enough mush. Let's go eat."

Edmond: "Eat? How can you think of food at a time like this?"

Snipes: "Lasagna!" (puckering his beak) "Mm-mm-mm-mm."

Nico: Is that all you think about is food?

Edmond: (shouts) "Chanticleer! Chanticleer!"

Chanticleer: "Oh Goldie, when I left the farm, I had such a big hole in my heart you could've put a John Deere tractor through there."

Edmond: "Chanticleer!"

Goldie: "Oh, you poor thing."

Chanticleer: "My heart is so full, I could-I could just explode like a bloated lamb."

Goldie: "Oh, King, you say the nicest things."

Edmond: "Chanticleer!"

Chanticleer & Goldie: (singing) "This song is our treasure,

that we'll share our whole life through..."

Edmond: "Chanticleer!"

Patou: "I'm sorry, little buddy. But, we're just no match for that painted feather duster."

Edmond: "Oh, yeah?" (He marches off.)

Patou: "Uh, hey, where you goin'?"

Edmond: "Well if I can't talk to him, I'll talk to her."

Chanticleer & Goldie: (singing) "As I kiss and coo. Kiss, kiss and coo with you."

Chorus: (singing) "Kiss and coo with you."

(Chanticleer and Goldie kiss each other on their beaks, as sparkles spread around the scene. It irises out with the shape of a heart.)

Me: So cute.

Later we were in the trailer lot. Edmund tried talking to Goldie but no luck.

(He then runs to his friends hiding under a food truck.)

Edmond: "What happened?"

Snipes: "Ah, she's a woman."

Peepers: "W-what? (growls) That's the last straw, I've had it!"

Snipes: "I wasn't talking to you-"

(The food truck drives off, and the friends scream as they are trapped inside a net.)

Pinky: (laughing) "Well, well, well...the dog, the human, the bird and the mouse! We meet at last, eh?" (laughing)

Edmond: "Let us go!" (gasps)

Pinky: "Max, take 'em to my trailer. Lock 'em up. Make sure the King doesn't get a whiff of this." (continues laughing)

Goldie: (closing the curtains) "Oh, no! What have I done?"

We saw the whole thing.

Me: Now it's personal.

(Soon, Edmond and his friends have been tied up to the ceiling with mouths tied in gags. Max slams the trailer door and laughs, knocking over a mobile grill. Up in the sky, Hunch flies overhead until he sees Max.)

Max:"No dogs, humans, boids or mices!" (He continues laughing as he bounces back to the stage.)

Hunch: "A-ha!" (He dives for the trailer, making airplane noises, as he skids across the roof and lands inside the pool.)

Patou: (narrating) "Now, I gotta admit, as bad guys go, the Duke's nephew Hunch was more a hoot than he was horrible."

Hunch: (gurgling inside the pool) "Oh, boy!"

Patou: (continues narrating) "But still, he was a nuisance, and as we were tied up at the moment, we weren't all that happy to see him." (Hunch swims up from the pool.)

Hunch: (pulls out his pocket knife that produces the wrong tools) "Oh, come on!" (The knife produces a kitchen blade.) "A-ha!" (drives the knife into the roof hatch and sings) "I will always think of you. Oh, Ma, I miss your apple pie. Ma, I miss your stew. But, most of all Ma, I miss you!" (looks inside and props up the hatch with a bamboo cane) "Oh-ho, look at that! Ooh, anticipation!" (laughs as the hatch lands on his head) "Ow!" (The hatch also lands on the bamboo cane, launching a cactus plant into the air. Hunch gets tangled in the rope and gets launched with the cactus plant. He gasps and screams as the cactus plant pulls him into the trailer, where it bounces on an armchair, while Hunch lands in a stuffed tiger's mouth. He pulls his head out of his jaws, and he sees the cactus plant falling toward him, groaning. The plant lands on him, with its vase cracking into pieces and dirt spilling on the floor.)

(The camera cuts to a chorus line of bees jumping up and down and buzzing in tune to the next song: Back to the Country. A small flurry of snowflakes hits each bee as they are buzzing, as the camera pans away to see Chanticleer and Goldie standing on a motorcycle.)

Chanticleer: (singing) "Let's get away,

you and me together,

Two birds of a feather flying-"

Pinky: "Cut, cut, cut!" (An alarm bell rings) "Murray, what's with the snow here?" (Murray, an orangutan dressed in purple, stops dumping the cotton balls into a portable hopper.) "Take five, everybody! And Miss Pheasant, how 'bout a smile, hmm?" (loses his temper) "Aw, it's supposed to be summer, for cryin' out loud!"

We came in.

Cargill: Are you Chanticleer?

Chanticleer: I sure am but everyone calls me the King. (Gasp) J.D.! Everyone!

Me: It's great to see you again Chanticleer.

We hugged.

Chanticleer: I didn't expect you all to be here.

Me: I know. We weren't called Team Loud Phoenix Storm when we first met.

Nico: Yeah we've expanded our forces a lot since then.

Me: These are all of my team.

We introduced ourselves.

Chanticleer: It's so awesome to meet you all and you all have been very busy from what I can see.

Eli: All that and more.

Laney: Yeah we have done it all over the years.

Chanticleer: I can see that.

Me: We came to bring you back to the farm. I'm afraid the situation is worse than you think.

Chanticleer: What do you mean?

Goldie: "King, may I talk to you?"

Chanticleer: "Ah, honey, don't pay no mind." (Pinky keeps complaining offscreen.) "You're gonna do just fine."

Goldie: (grabs the paper plane out of her breasts) "Yeah, but-"

Chanticleer: (snatching the paper plane from Goldie) "Now, now, no buts about it, honey."

Goldie: (snatches the paper plane from Chanticleer, desperate) "King, I've done something awful."

Chanticleer: "What is it, baby?" (Goldie hands him the note, which Chanticleer opens.) "Patou, Snipes, Peepers. Goldie, where'd you get this?"

Goldie: "From you, that night we first met."

Chanticleer: "They were here?"

Goldie: "They're still here."

Me: And we'll help. I have a plan.

I revealed my plan and it was to have Chanticleer and Goldie ride the motorcycle out of the set and head to the trailer.

We hid and got ready.

Hunch: (armed with a fork) "Here, kitty, kitty."

Edmond: "Get away from us! Get away!"

Hunch: (leaping up, pointing his fork at the animals) "Oh, ho-ho! Acceleration!" (He giggles evilly, until he sticks his fork into the TV antenna, electrocuting him.) "OOOOOWWWW!"

(TV playing)

(The electrocuted Hunch, getting his fork out of the TV antenna, launches away from the TV set and crashes into a closet bed that twists and then falls on him. He stumbles out from under the bed and climbs onto a vacuum that speeds away as Hunch holds on for dear life. The vacuum bumps into the mattress, as Hunch is sent flying into a fan, where Edmond and his friends are held captive in the net. The fan spins around at high speed, causing Edmond and the others to scream, until Patou's shoelaces snap off the fan, as they crash land on the bed and the fan breaks away from the ceiling. Edmond, Patou, Peepers, and Snipes bounce off the mattress and land in an armchair, grunting.)

Hunch: (sees the fan coming toward him) "Ow!" (The fan lands on Hunch, which causes the bed to rise and spin again, before it puts itself back in the closet, with electricity sparking and Hunch's feathers coming loose. The camera cuts back to the movie set.)

Max: "Stand by."

Murray: "Stand by!"

Max: "Quiet on the set."

Murray: "Quiet on the set!"

Max: "Hey, shut up!"

Goldie: (sadly) "King, I'm sorry."

Chanticleer: "Don't talk to me, I'm thinkin'."

Pinky: "Roll sound!"

Max: "Speed."

Chanticleer: "Where are they?"

Goldie: "They're in Pinky's trailer outside."

Max: "Mark it. 42A, take two." (clacks the clapboard)

Chanticleer: (looking for a way to get out, until he sees an open stage door.) "Oh, yeah!"

Pinky: "Action!"

Chanticleer: "Hang on, honey!" (powers up the engine)

Goldie: (screams)

Pinky: "That's not in the script!"

He drove off and we fired blasts of fire and burned the set all over and we flew towards Chanticleer.

Goldie: "Look, there it is!"

Me: Target sighted.

Hunch: "Hoo-ho-ho, annihilation! Abomination! Hold still!" (hits a step of a trailer floor, then corners Edmond and the others, waving his fork)

Goldie: (screaming) "Watch out, King!"

Chanticleer: "Whoa!"

Me: Here we go!

I smashed through the window and kicked Hunch and Patou stopped.

Me: Nice one!

Nico: YEAH!

Lincoln: That was awesome!

Me: Chanticleer, your friends have something to say.

Chanticleer: (to Snipes) Give me one good reason why I should come back after how you guys drove me away!

Volcana: Look, I get it. You're upset that Snipes and your friends drove you away. But they really are sorry for what they did.

Chanticleer: Why should I believe them?

Shun: (looks at me and the Loud Kids) Because J.D. and the Loud Kids have recently been in their shoes.

Me: That's right. Chanticleer, they didn't mean to laugh at you. It was all because of the Duke. He used his magic to fool everyone and turn them all against you.

Chanticleer: What? But the Sun was rising on its own.

Me: It was all an illusion. He made it look like the Sun was rising all on its own. And it was because of him that they drove you away. And the Duke plunged the entire farm into a Perpetual Rainstorm and it's almost totally underwater.

Edmund: That's right!

Me: When we get back you got to crow.

Nico: That's right! The Sun hasn't shined ever since you left.

Chanticleer: I don't remember if I ever did crow.

Peepers: Of course you did!

Me: That's right. But we'll worry about that later. Right now getting you back is first.

Goldie: I'll go with you all!

Chanticleer: Okay.

Me: Lets go!

We heard motorcycles coming.

Me: We got company! Lets go!

We left the trailer and went to the car.

Goldie: "Oh no, not Pinky's Caddy."

Me: We don't have a choice. I'll drive.

Edmund: Can you drive a car?

Me: I sure can. Done it countless times.

I got in the driver seat and started the engine and put it in drive and gunned it.

Me: EAT OUR DUST ASSWIPES!

The Bouncers were chasing us.

Me: Oh no you don't.

I turned and we went through a colosseum set.

Applejack: YEEHAW! This is fun!

Rainbow Dash: AWESOME!

Edmond: "Uh-oh, look!"

We saw Hunch on the trailer.

Hunch: "Abomination! Oww!"

Peepers: "Come on, Edmond, we gotta lose that trailer!"

Edmond: How?

Peepers: Edmond, you can climb.

Edmond: No I can't!

Peepers: Just climb down there-

Edmond: What? I can't.

Peepers: Don't be such a sissy!

Edmond: I'll fall!

Peepers: You're brave, you won't fall!

Edmond: I will!

Peepers: (angrily) Oh, I'll do it myself! You're such a coward. (She leaps off the car trunk and parachutes all the way to the trailer hitch with her dress. She then examines the hitch.) (grunts) "Oh, dear. My. Here we go. A-ha!" (Pushes on the lever)

(Hunch uses his pocket knife to puncture one of the trailer tires. After a few punctures, the tire explodes, jolting the hitch away from the ball mount.)

Peepers: (screams) "Edmond!"

Edmond: "Patou, help!" (Peepers lands on one of the chains that is barely holding out the strain.) "Hold on!"

(Peepers and Edmond are almost in each other's grasp until the chain that Peepers is clutching to breaks in two.)

Edmond: (screams)

Peepers: Help! (Peepers rides away with the trailer that crashes into the studio water tower that basically resembles Pinky.)

Me: OH NO!

Edmond: (screaming) "Peepers!" (echoes as Edmond runs into his own brain)

Peepers' ghost: "Of course, if you were a coward...Coward..."

Edmond: (voiceover) "I'm not afraid of anything."

(voices overlapping)

Patou: (voiceover) "Hey, lay off the boy."

Rhino Waiter: (voiceover) "Get me the boss."

Peepers' ghost: (voiceover) "You're just a coward!""

Pinky: (laughing evilly)

Grand Duke: (laughing evilly)

Edmond: (shouting) "NO! STOOOOOP!"

We gasped.

Me: I'll turn us around!

I turned the car around and we plowed through the motorcycles.

Pinky: "Oh, sure, they wanna play chicken, eh?"

Murray: "Don't worry, boss, I ain't turnin'!"

Pinky: "Idiot, that's my car!"

(Pinky grabs the wheel and turns his golf cart away from his stolen limo.)

Edmond: "Whoa!" (They see the water tower ahead.)

Me: Hold on!

I hit the brakes.

Edmond: I think she landed up here. Peepers!" (to the rest) "Come on, we gotta find her!"

We start climbing and flying.

(Pinky and his goons drive up to the water tower as well.)

Pinky: (whines) "Ooh, my baby! My beautiful baby." (to his men) "What are you lookin' at?" (swats one of his bouncers with his fedora) "Get up there!"

Edmond: "Peepers!"

Me: Where are you?

Then Nunnally slipped and Eli grabbed her hand.

Nunnally: (Shoes fall off) "Oh, my shoes!"

Bouncers: (grunting)

Max: "Bozo!"

Varie: (On the radio) Help is here guys!

We saw Pinkie's helicopter.

Chanticleer: There's our break!

Me: Lets go!

We flew into the helicopter.

Pinky: (laughs) "What a catch!" (laughing) "Bring 'em in, Murray!" (sees Murray) "Murray?"

Peepers: "Murray, who's Murray?"

Edmond: (relieved) "Peepers!"

Me: You're all right!

Peepers: "Edmond! Let's have some help up here; this is a Sikorsky X-62, and these things are cra-a-a-azy!"

Me: Let me drive!

I got the controls of the copter.

Pinky: "The King! He's gone and I'm ruined!"

We flew back to the farm and to the eye of the storm.

Me: Here we go.

Spot: Maybe I can use one of my spot to get to where the Duke is.

Me: No Jonathan. He's expecting us. Our best weapon we have is light.

Lily: That's right. The Duke and his Owls hate the Light.

Astroblast: And we have plenty of it.

Princess Celestia: And we'll gladly help you all out.

Brittney: The Goths of Darkness may be Masters of The Night, but we will never condone this kind of evil to the forces of Darkness.

Lucy Loud: That's right!

Rubberband Man: Where's the Duke right now?

Me: He's still at the farm. Lets go get him guys!

Nico: This is gonna be awesome!

Me: Get ready Duke, (Eyes glow red) IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO SEE THE LIGHT!

Nico: Yeah!

Back at the farm, the flashlight's batteries die.

Stuey: "Oh, no, no, no!"

Grand Duke: "Oh, yes, yes, yes!" (Stuey screams) "Gentlemen, go down and invite our friends to dinner."

Owl Minions: (singing) "Who, who, who, who?

We are the creatures of the night,

and we invite you all for dinner.

There's plenty of food to go around,

when the food is... you!"

Stuey: (gulps) "Who, me?"

Owl Minions: (singing) "Yes, you!

We thought a picnic would be nice,

and we're so pleased that you could join us.

We're glad you're home, trick or treat!

Fa-la-la-la-la-la, how sweet!"

Grand Duke: (spoken) "Now's the time,

say your prayers...time's up!"

Owl Minions: (singing) "Fa-la-la-la-la-la, how sweet!

Fa-la-la-la-la, let's eat!"

Grand Duke: (clears throat) "Please, pass the pork." (laughing) "Excellent, gentlemen, excellent!" (Light blasts in their faces) (screaming)

Edmond: "Alright, you owls, this is Edmond and Team Loud Phoenix Storm. It's over for you; we've got Chanticleer!"

(The Farm Animals cheer and escape the picnic table.)

Edmond: "Where's my mom and dad? I can't see them."

Patou: "Don't worry, we'll find them."

Me: Just have faith!

(rotors whirring)

We flew towards the owls.

Grand Duke & Owls: (scream)

(The helicopter passes over their heads, sawing the roof with its blades.)

Grand Duke: (sees a buzz cut on his head, growling)

Me: Talk about a bad haircut.

Nico: Or in this case Feathercut.

Chanticleer: Sure has changed.

Me: Yeah. Lets go in for a landing.

Peepers: "Hold on!"

Hunch then came in through the vents!

Hunch: "Ta-da, annihilation!" (laughs, ogling at Goldie's breasts)

Goldie: (squeals, slapping Hunch away)

Hunch: (lands on a fire extinguisher and breaks loose and hums "Ride of the Valkyries" while riding on the fire extinguisher)

Edmond: "Aah!"

Hunch: (continues humming "Ride of the Valkyries", missing Patou, almost attacks Edmond and Peepers, and hits the helicopter controls)

(The helicopter starts falling apart.)

Peepers: "She's going down! Abandon ship, abandon ship!"

We jumped out as the copter landed in the water.

We landed on a land mass.

Me: That was a close one.

Nico: Yeah.

Vince: But thank goodness we're all right.

Me: Yeah.

Eli saw the Duke's mountain castle.

Eli: Time for the Duke to be homeless. (Cups hands to side) KAAAAAA MEEEEEEE HAAAAAA MEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

He fired a Green Kamehameha Blast and it hit the Duke's mountain castle and it exploded with incredible power!

KRABBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM!

The entire mountain castle was destroyed in an instant and the storms stopped.

Me: WHOA! Nice shot bro!

Eli: Thanks.

But then the Duke came.

Duke: (laughs) Did you all enjoy your bath?

Krusty: You know we could've drowned because of you, right?

Me: It's over for you Duke! SOLAR FLARE!

I released a massive blast of white light as powerful as 1,000 suns and The Duke Screamed in pain as he was being blinded.

Nico: Nice one!

Eli: Lets see how you minions like the light of a Million Suns!

Eli had his Decaforce Sword turn into the Million Suns and it released a massive flash of light that was as bright as a million suns! The light hit the owl minions and burned them all over and they dove into the water!

Troy: We'll help with this as well.

Megaforce Rangers: Legendary Ranger Mode: Lightmask Squad!

The Megaforce Rangers turned into the Light Maskman Rangers from 1987.

Me: Your crimes of darkness will never match the forces of light Duke!

Nico: It's time to Shed Some Light!

Me: And Shine forth!

Luminous: Lets shine the light!

Hydro Man, Captain Cold, Golden Glider and Ebon then appeared.

Plastique: That's right J.D.

Cheshire: (to Speedy) I hope there are no hard feelings between us from when I went after you during the Brotherhood of Evil mess.

Speedy: No worries Jade. After everything that happened with us it's all water under the bridge.

Me: But if we face the other members of the Brotherhood of Evil they are gonna be dead meat.

Nico: That you can count on.

Lincoln: Big time.

El Diablo: It's good to see you guys again.

Me: Same to you Chato and we owe you big time for helping us destroy that asteroid that was about to destroy the planet.

El Diablo: It was no problem. It was awesome.

Me: It sure was.

Roxy Rocket: (to Batman) Good to see you again after you went missing because of Brainiac, Batman.

Me: But the way you fly with rockets is awesome.

Roxy Rocket: Thanks.

Rocket Raccoon: My name is Rocket too. Coincidental huh?

Roxy Rocket: It sure is. (To Woody Woodpecker) And Woody, I have just the perfect archenemy for you.

Woody Woodpecker: You do? Who?

Roxy Rocket: Your old local conman Buzz Buzzard.

Woody Woodpecker: Buzz Buzzard!? Oh boy! It's gonna be fun! As long as it's not Ms. Meeny.

Rocky Rocket: Don't worry. She's still trapped in the Spirit World.

Lincoln: Good. She can stay there and rot.

Me: Agreed.

Plastique: (to Captain Atom) I still remember our encounter on the Watchtower all those years ago.

Captain Atom: Good times back then.

Shope: This is gonna be so awesome!

Me: Explosively awesome.

Plastique: It sure will.

?: It sure will be explosive.

A figure came out and it was CHAMELIAC from episode 29 of Lost Galaxy!


Chameliac was a robotic chameleon/knight-like warrior, brought in to guard the construction of a laser dish designed by Kegler to destroy the Galactabeasts and the main antagonist of his titular episode, "The Chameliac Warrior".

Whenever Chameliac scanned and cloned the Galaxy Rangers' powers and abilities (including as the Lights of Orion), he was able to use it against them. Each time Chameliac would confront a Ranger, a panel on his helmet with the corresponding color would slide into place, allowing him to use that Ranger's fighting style.

In the first battle, Chameliac was too powerful for the Rangers as he was able to copy and counter everything they could do, even being able to replicate the Lights of Orion attack. However, after seeing the monster as being like a computer that couldn't be beaten, Leo realized that Chameliac could be beaten, if given the wrong information. The Rangers returned and attacked him using each others' unique fighting styles. The move worked and Chameliac was soon unable to counter the Rangers. Once he was wounded, Leo hit him with the Red Capsular Cycle's Fireball Mode, defeating Chameliac who grew giant in response.

After Chameliac grew, the Rangers called upon the Galaxy Megazord to fight him. Chameliac was surprised when the Megazord was formed as Villamax was supposed to destroy it with his laser, but the weapon had been destroyed by Mike Corbett as the Magna Defender. Chameliac was easily able to counter the Galaxy Megazord as he did the Rangers' individually so Leo called upon the Stratoforce Megazord. However, while Chameliac was prepared to counter its boomerang attack, the Stratoforce Megazord came prepared and was instead armed with the Centaurus Megazord's laser cannon. Like when the Rangers switched fighting styles, Chameliac was confused by the change-up and the Stratoforce Megazord was able to use the laser cannon to weaken him. The Galaxy Megazord then powered up using the Lights of Orion and finished off Chameliac with a strike from its saber.


Leo Corbett: Chameliac!

Chameliac: Been a while rangers.

Me: I remember you! You were brought in to guard the construction of a laser dish Kegler was building to destroy the Galactabeasts!

Chameliac: That's right and you know what I can do right?

Me: I sure do. You have the awesome ability to copy the rangers powers and abilities which I think is really cool.

Chameliac: Thanks.

Leo Corbett: Don't even try to copy out fighting styles again!

Chameliac: Actually, I'm going to copy the fighting style of the Purple Jungle Fury Ranger this time. (to Jungle Fury RJ): Your color is one of the few that I haven't tried out yet.

R.J.: That's interesting.

Me: This is gonna be interesting. I remember seeing you do that on TV and you are the Lost Galaxy Ranger's version of Taskmaster.

Chameliac: But I'm not that analytical but thanks for the compliment.

Me: You're welcome. Edmund you're in for quite a show. We usually have what we call Usual Battles when the villains show up with our frenemies the Masters of Evil.

Edmond: Cool!

Me: Lets get it on.

Sunset Shimmer: But he'll help out his team after we're done here.

Wallflower: That's right. He and his team have done it all.

Gusty: She sure did and it was brutal.

Cayenne: We weren't there to witness it but it was REALLY brutal from what we heard.

Angel Wings: They sure are. I love the tricks they do in those planes.

Nico: (FLABBERGASTED) WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!? ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

Me: I'm dead serious buddy. Apple Bloom is now gonna be the Princess of Cutie Marks. She, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo have helped more people and ponies get more cutie marks than anyone else we know. If that doesn't show that she is ready for the title of Princess, then I don't know what is.

Sweetie Belle: Yeah your father was a monster and if he ever comes back I want to help you rip his throat open!

Rarity: (Gasp) Sweetie Belle!

Sweetie Belle: Sorry.

Sapphire Shores: I don't blame you. I would NEVER want a monster like that roaming around.

Mistmane: Me neither. He has done a lot of unforgiving crimes.

Starlight Glimmer: It sure was. Saved us the trouble of having to wait till the water receeds.

Thorax: Yeah it does.

Trixie: But we still have to destroy the Grand Duke. He plunged this entire area into darkness because of his hatred towards the sun.

Sunburst: That's right and I like the sun myself.

Juniper Montage: Me too and the sunsets are always beautiful.

Qin: It was awesome and everyone loved all our sweets.

Kid Kold: I was told from dad that you all make really good sweets.

Qin: We sure do.

Ice Kate: Awesome. But can you answer this question for us?

Qin: Sure.

Ice Kate: How come you guys spared us when you fought us the first time?

Qin: Because you are family to Leonard and Lisa and we can never bring ourselves to put family members of our frenemies in prison. Especially after what happened with your father and aunt.

Fluttershy: Absolutely. What your father did was terrible and I would hate to imagine what would happen if you went to the same prison he was in.

Tree Hugger: It would not be groovy dudes.

Zecora: The crimes your abusive father has done must be learned for there is plenty of time for forgiveness to be earned.

Qin: I know it's gonna be tough for you to forgive your so-called father for everything he did to you but if he doesn't accept it then that shows that his heart is black as night.

Lena Isis: Pure evil incarnate.

Mage Meadowbrook: That's how I describe it.

Captain Cold: Indeed. But thanks for the advice.

Qin: Anytime.

Discord: I may not know the joys of being a good parent but I sympathize with everything that happened to you. As the embodiment of chaos, I too have a heart.

Tree Hugger: Far out dudes.


Battle 8: Lily Loud, Pinkie Pie, Maud Pie, Marble Pie, Somnambula, Inque and Rubberband Man VS Ebon


Ebon was next.

Ebon: (to Lily) I may be a shadow user myself. But I've learned to enjoy sunlight thanks to Vypra. Unlike the Duke over there.

Lily: What the duke has done is nothing short of pure evil. He may be an Owl and I love owls but he gives all owls everywhere a bad name.

Pinkie Pie: He sure does and Twilight has an owl named Owlowiscious. I think he a menace to the name of owls.

Maud Pie: (Monotonously) I may not be familiar with birds even though I'm associated with rocks, but Pinkie does make a good point.

Marble Pie: Me too! I think owls are amazing birds too.

Somnambula: (Egyptian Accent) Agreed. I think they are amazing myself.

Ebon: Indeed. This gives me an idea. I think for Spyro he should have Fenghuang as his archenemy.

Lily: Fenghuang the rogue member of the previous Furious 5? That's a great idea!

Rubberband Man: I agree bro! That's perfect!

Inque: It sure is.

Crankcase and Lync Volan: LASER WIND STORM BLAST!

Crankcase fired a laser barrage and Lync fired a wave of wind and the blasts all hit the Duke and exploded!

KRABBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!

Me: Now for some Light Smash power!

Eli: Lets do it!

Nunnally: Yeah!

Patoo, Snipes, Peepers, Edmund, Chanticleer, Eli, Nunnally, Luan, Light Skylanders and Eddy: LIGHT STORM SUN BURST!

They fired a massive blast of light and it hit the Duke and exploded!

KRABBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!

The explosion pulverized him all over the place.

Edmund: Had enough, Duke?

Duke: I will never be defeated!

Me: The Light will always come strong!

Patou: (silently) "Chanticleer...Chanticleer."

Grand Duke: "Very stupid, Patou."

Patou: (cont.) "Chanticleer, Chanticleer, Chanticleer..."

Grand Duke: "Look here, quiet!"

All: "Chanticleer..."

Grand Duke: "Quiet, I say!"

All: "Chanticleer..."

Grand Duke: "Shut up!"

All: "Chanticleer!" (all chanting)

Chanticleer: (wheezing)

Grand Duke: "Fools, all of you, silence! I'll give you Chanticleer!"

(The Duke leans toward the camera with a frightening glare and uses his magic breath to enlarge himself.)

All: "Chanticleer, Chanticleer, Chanticleer!" (continue chanting)

(The Grand Duke keeps growing larger and larger, until he turns into a tornado to kill the animals and destroy the farm.)

Grand Duke: (maniacal laughter)

(A lightning bolt strikes a claw-shaped tree branch that the Duke's minions are standing on, sending it down to the ground, where the branch traps Chanticleer, who struggles in vain to crow.)

Grand Duke: (continues cackling)

(A series of voiceover flashbacks are heard.)

Duck's Voice: "Look, it's comin' up without him! You're a phony!"

(A family of possums hang tight on a bed, as the Farm Animals below rush to escape the chaos and flying debris.)

Grand Duke's Voice: "Are you by any chance having a little trouble with your throat?"

Duck's Voice: "You're a phony! It's comin' up without him!"

Edmond's voice: "It's your job to bring up the sun."

Peepers' voice: "It hasn't shined since you left."

(A truck falls from the top of the tree and crashes on the banks below.)

Edmond's voice: "It's your job to bring up the sun." ("Chanticleer! Chanticleer! Chanticleer!")

Peepers' voice: "It hasn't shined since you left."

(The Duke's minions perch on the branch, sadistically looking at Chanticleer struggling.)

Chanticleer: (gasping)

Patou's voice: "Chanticleer, you gotta crow, and you gotta crow now!"

Grand Duke's voice: "Cocka-doodle-doo?"

Patou's voice: "Chanticleer, you gotta crow, and you gotta crow now!"

(Chanticleer remembers his duty to crow and starts spinning around like the Tasmanian Devil, catching the Duke's minions by surprise. Chanticleer then bursts from the ground and rockets into the sky like a comet, having regained the power to crow, as the Duke's Servants and blown up into the sky as well.)

Chanticleer: (loudly) "COCKA-DOOOOO! COCKA-DOOOOO! COCKA-DOOOOO!" (echoing through space)

(The sun rises on his call, sending a beam of light toward Earth and striking the Grand Duke in his tornado form.)

Grand Duke: (screams)

Me: BULLSEYE!

Nico: YEAH!

Salem: TAKE THAT!

I fired a massive blast of fire and burned him all over and the Duke fell down dead!

Nico: All right!

Golden Glider: Not bad for my first battle.

Ebon: (sees the Duke's corpse) And look's like we got food for tonight.

Me: We sure do. I hope the Duke loves the darkness of the Book of Vile Darkness.

Nicole: He will.

Nicole sealed his spirit into the Book of Vile Darkness.

Hunch then came.

Me: Hunch.

Hunch: I know. But I'm not here to annihilate you. I want to apologize for all my crimes.

Me: It's all right Hunch. But you need a better team than being with a monster like The Duke of Owls.

Hunch: Agreed. I want to redeem myself.

Me: Cool.

We saw the Helicopter and we beamed it to the garage.

Me: This was awesome.

Edmond: It sure was! I loved helping you guys out!

Me: Just like old times huh? How did it feel helping us again?

Edmond: It sure was awesome!

Peepers: This was so much fun!

Snipes: it was awesome!

Patou: I had so much fun.

Me: Cool.

Chanticleer: (To the viewers) Hope you like all our adventure. It was fun.

Me: It sure was and Edmund you did a great job. You all did a great job.

Nico: Thanks man.

Lincoln: It was awesome!

Me: Lets head home.

We went home.

Patou: (narrating) "Well, our journey had finally come to an end. Old Chanticleer was back to stay, the sun was up, the rain had stopped, and the owls were gone for good."

We now have the Duke of Owls as a little one as our prisoner in Lucy's Crypt room and now his gigantic carcass is food for us.

THE END


Another awesome fanfiction complete.

This is the sequel to the first time I did a chapter for Rock-A-Doodle. It was one of my favorite movies from my childhood and it was awesome! I thought the songs were incredible and the story was great. Also this chapter was made as a tribute to the great Glen Campbell and Christopher Plummer. Christopher Plummer died yesterday and I have known his acting for years and my dad loved Glen Campbell's song Wichita Lineman and it was awesome!

R.I.P.

Glen Campbell - April 22, 1936 to August 8, 2017
Christopher Plummer - December 13, 1929 to February 5th, 2021

Thank you for giving us a great movie and so many awesome songs and movies.

NicoChan11, JediAvatarOfShinobi, Omegahatchiyak12, XP4Universe and ninjaking of hearts all gave me the ideas for this. Thanks guys. The next Number is gonna be Number 67: Pair-a-Dice Smasher and that one is gonna be in the possession of the 1st of the 4 Saint Beasts from Yu-Yu Hakusho: Genbu the Black Tortoise of The North. Get ready for an awesome battle with that one. And the next chapter is gonna be where we go into the apocalyptic future world of Blue Submarine No. 6 and we're ALL going to take down the evil mad scientist Zorndyke and destroy him and save humanity from his evil.

See you all tomorrow.
