In the World Tree Estate we were watching TV while we were waiting for Dr. Lopez to arrive.
Nico: I got to admit though J.D. that park of yours is amazing.
Lori: It sure is. How did you have the Harmonizing Heights be part of our park?
Me: That is an interesting story. It was shortly after the estate turned into the World Tree Estate.
FLASHBACK
Me: (Narrating) After discovering the park in the estate, I was so entranced by its amazing beauty. Then after walking around, my cutie mark started glowing.
Me: Huh?
I looked and saw that my Cutie Mark was glowing and I knew that meant one thing.
Me: (Gasp) The map is calling. Lets see what Friendship Problem is needed this time.
I went to the map room.
In the Map Room, Twilight was looking at the map of Equestria and the world and then the door opened and the Cutie Mark Crusaders came in.
Scootaloo: Princess Twilight!
Cutie Mark Crusaders: We're glowing!
Their cutie marks were glowing and this was a major first.
Twilight Sparkle: [giggling] That's what happens when you're summoned by the Map.
Sweetie Belle: Somepony needs our help?
Apple Bloom: We're being called by the Map?
Scootaloo: Did I mention we're glowing?!
Twilight Sparkle: [giggling]
I came in.
Me: Oh it looks like I'm not the only one. Wow. You 3 were called by the map? This is a first.
Apple Bloom: It sure is. This is gonna be so cool!
Sweetie Belle: It sure is.
Scootaloo: So where exactly in Equestria are we needed?
Twilight Sparkle: Actually, where you're going isn't even in Equestria.
We saw that our cutie marks were orbiting around a mountain at the edge of the table.
Sweetie Belle: Wow! That's almost... off the table!
Apple Bloom: But what's way out there?
Twilight Sparkle: Mount Aris, the home of the Hippogriffs! And that's where you're headed!
Me: This is gonna be interesting. We've never seen that part of the world before and it will be cool to see the home of Silverstream.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Whoa...!
Me: I also heard that the Seaponies live near there in the water.
Twilight Sparkle: Yep.
Me: Well lets head out.
We went to the train station.
Nico: This is gonna be fun. I've heard about what happened with Mount Aris and all that with the Storm King. It'll be interesting to see it.
Laney: It sure will.
Sweetie Belle: You really don't need to come with us, Twilight. We can take care of this mission just fine on our own.
Apple Bloom: Mm-hmm.
Scootaloo: Yeah!
Scootaloo crashed into a pony carrying luggage and she was knocked down.
Scootaloo: Oof!
Me: You girls all right?
Sweetie Belle: Ugh!
I picked up all the luggage and all that.
Me: Sorry about that.
Twilight Sparkle: I know that. But I'm not so sure the ponies who care about you want you going off so far on your own. Besides, there's some school business I need to take care of on Mount Aris. (She pulled out a permission slip) This permission slip is for Silverstream. It's very important that her mother and father sign it, or else no field trips.
Me: That's understandable.
Nico: Yep.
Lola: This will be a first for all of us.
Me: I know. Next to the Peaks of Peril where we met the Kirin we're going to see the homes of the hippogriffs and the seaponies.
Nico: Yep.
Scootaloo: [whispering, to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle] Sounds like somepony just wants a vacation.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: [giggling]
Twilight Sparkle: Okay, yes, I have been wanting to visit Mount Aris ever since the Hippogriffs moved back. But it's purely research. Silverstream's brother is gonna meet us there and take us to their houses.
Me: Understood.
Apple Bloom: Wow! They have more than one house?
Twilight Sparkle: I guess so. The social structure of the Hippogriffs and seaponies is a bit of a mystery.
Me: This is gonna be really fascinating for all of us.
"All Aboard": All aboard! Last stop – the new Mount Aris Station!
Me: That's us.
We got on board the train.
[ponies chattering]
[train whistle blows]
We were off.
[train chugging]
Lana: I can't wait to see what Mount Aris is like.
Lucy Loud: Me too.
Nico: I heard that it went through a lot with the Storm King.
Me: That's what I heard.
Sweetie Belle: I don't know if I'd like being a Hippogriff. Part bird, part pony...
Scootaloo: I'm happy with just my pony parts, thanks.
Apple Bloom: I think Hippogriffs are pretty neat. I learned all about them from Applejack. The Hippogriffs all once lived happily on Mount Aris. But when the Storm King invaded, they used a magic pearl to turn into seaponies and escape to the underwater safety of Seaquestria. Then, in the Battle of Canterlot, when Applejack defeated the Storm King—
Twilight Sparkle: Wait, what? She told you she defeated him? By herself?
Apple Bloom: Uh, maybe she didn't say that exactly. But it makes for a better story.
Twilight Sparkle: [giggling]
Me: That's all right. I thought it was really cute. But it was really Tempest Shadow that destroyed the Storm King.
Nico: That's right. She is a true hero.
Me: She sure is.
Apple Bloom: How did she defeat the Storm King?
Me: That is an awesome story there.
I went over the Storm King's history.
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.
History 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
In the premiere episode "School Daze Part 1", he is mentioned when Twilight says that Tempest left Ponyville to spread the word of the Storm King's defeat. He was also mentioned by Sandbar when reminds the creature students that the Mane Six saved Equestria.
In the episode "Surf and/or Turf", the Storm King is mentioned several times to recount the events of the film and when he attacked the Hippogriff Kingdom during his reign.
In the episode "The Hearth's Warming Club", the Storm King makes a cameo in Silverstream's story about how she and the other hippogriffs celebrate the "Three Days of Freedom".
In the episode "What Lies Beneath", the Storm King appears as an illusion formed from Silverstream's deepest fears.
In the episode "Father Knows Beast", the Storm King is mentioned.
Role in "Equestria Girls"
In the special "Spring Breakdown", taking place between the movie and Season 8 of the series, the Storm King is mentioned multiple times, and his leftover magic is the source of the havoc that happens in the human world.
Role in the Comics
The Storm King appears as the main antagonist in IDW's My Little Pony: The Movie Prequel. It depicts what he did during his reign, conquering many lands, including the Abyssinian capital of Panthera. His second-in-command at the time was Strife, a cloud creature who secretly planned to betray him and side with the Pirates.
In Issue #1, he and Strife invaded Panthera, plundering all the palace treasure and setting fire to the rest of the city. However, Strife later betrays the Storm King and allies with Captain Celaeno and her crew of parrot pirates. The Storm King, enraged by this betrayal, appoints Grubber as his new second-in-command.
In Issue #2, the Storm King catches up with Celaeno's ship, tosses Strife overboard for his betrayal, and forces Celaeno and her crew to work for him as cargo haulers.
He does not appear in Issue #3, but he was mentioned.
In Issue #4, the Storm King tracks down Tempest Shadow, who has had the Misfortune Malachite while fleeing from his Storm Creatures. The two then allies, with Tempest agreeing to become the Storm King's new lieutenant in his search for magical power in exchange for the Storm King healing her broken horn.
The Storm King is also mentioned during the Convocation of Creatures on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #61 page 15.
The Storm King is also seen in a flashback in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Issue #68.
When I was done everyone gasped.
Scootaloo: Whoa! That's terrible!
Sweetie Belle: Yeah but Tempest is a true hero.
Apple Bloom: A redeemed hero.
Me: She sure is. It's a shame she lost her horn in an Ursa Minor attack.
Nico: But she has that cool scar on her.
Me: She sure does.
[train whistle blows]
"All Aboard": Final stop – Mount Aris Station!
Me: This is our stop.
We arrived at Mount Aris and it was beautiful and amazing.
Scootaloo: [gasps]
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Whoa!
Me: Amazing.
[train chugging]
[brakes hissing]
We arrived at the station and got off.
Me: Wow. So this is Mount Aris. We are probably the first ever humans to see this place.
Nico: We sure are. It's beautiful out here and the view of the ocean is amazing.
Laney: It sure is. Smell that ocean water air.
Lori: Literally beautiful.
Sweetie Belle: All right. So what kind of cutie mark-related friendship problem do you think we're supposed to solve?
Twilight Sparkle: I don't know. But Hippogriffs don't have cutie marks. So it might not have anything to do with that at all.
Me: That's a shame.
We saw that she was right.
Apple Bloom: Huh. Still, the Map called us, so it must be a kind of problem that only we can solve.
They high hoof.
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Go, Crusaders!
Sweetie Belle: But how do we know exactly who we're supposed to help?
Me: That is a good question.
Scootaloo: Ahem. Attention, please! Anygriff here have a problem?
[beat]
They shook their heads for no.
Scootaloo: Eh. That's all I got.
Apple Bloom: Maybe if the Map could be a little more specific about our mission, like maybe... an address?
Twilight Sparkle: The Map doesn't really work like that. But I'm sure you and whoever needs help will find each other.
Me: It's true girls and learning from past experiences we have to figure who needs help on our own.
Twilight Sparkle: Yep it's true.
We went down to the docks of the beach and we heard water splashing.
[water splashing]
Terramar: Excuse me! Miss Sparkle? Over here! Sorry I'm late. I'm Silverstream's brother Terramar.
Me: Oh pleasure to meet you.
Terramar: Wow! J.D. Knudson and all of Team Loud Phoenix Storm. It's an honor to meet you.
Me: Same here.
Nico: Silverstream told us a lot about you. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Terramar: Same here.
Apple Bloom: A Hippogriff can have a seapony for a brother? How does that work exactly?
Sweetie Belle: Shhh! It's rude to ask a question like that!
[magic sounds]
Terramar transformed from a seapony back to a Hippogriff and flew to us.
Me: Wow!
Scootaloo: Whoa!
Nico: That is so cool!
He landed by us.
Apple Bloom: Can I ask now?
Terramar: [chuckles] It is kind of strange. See, after the Storm King was defeated, the seaponies didn't have to hide anymore. So some of them changed back to Hippogriffs and went home to Mount Aris.
Twilight Sparkle: But others got used to living under the water and stayed in Seaquestria.
Me: That's interesting.
Eli: I think that is amazing.
Terramar: And me? Well, I kind of go back and forth with this. It's a tiny piece of the magic pearl. It was split up among our kingdoms.
Apple Bloom: Cool!
Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo: Whoa!
Me: That is amazing.
Varie: It sure is and the Neptune Crusaders can breathe and fight underwater too.
Laney: They sure can.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, I'm pretty eager to see the Hippogriff village. You know, to... get this form signed. And... research! So...
Me: We're fascinated with learning about Mount Aris and it'll be cool to see Silverstream's and yours home.
Terramar: Sure.
Apple Bloom: Hey, Terramar? Does anygriff you know up there have a problem they need help with?
Terramar: [chuckles] On Mount Aris? No. Everygriff is pretty happy up there. [sighs] It's a great place to live.
Me: I can't wait to see it.
Nico: Me too. This is gonna be awesome.
We went up to the Hippogriff village and it was incredible. It had lots of Hippogriffs playing and talking and having fun.
[Hippogriffs laughing]
Me: Wow! So this is the Mount Aris Hippogriff village. It's amazing.
Twilight Sparkle: Whoa! This looks amazing! Last time I was here, it was a ghost town!
Me: I remember you told us about that Twilight.
Terramar: Yeah. Queen Novo thought it was important to return our village to its former glory.
Nico: Wow. And it's more prosperous than ever before.
They hung a flag up.
[trumpet fanfare]
Terramar and Silverstream's dad Sky Beak came.
Sky Beak: And now, I officially open the "Glad to Be a Hippogriff" Festival!
[trumpet fanfare]
[Hippogriffs cheering]
Sky Beam and another Hippogriff bowed and flew into the air.
[whoosh!]
[Hippogriffs cheering]
They did stunts and tricks and they were amazing.
Twilight Sparkle and Cutie Mark Crusaders: Ahh! Whoa!
Me: Wow! That is awesome!
Nico: They sure are acrobatic.
[Hippogriffs continue cheering]
Scootaloo: Wow! We picked a good day to show up!
Me: We sure did.
Terramar: Not really. We do this every weekend. Hippogriffs really like being Hippogriffs.
Me: I can see that.
[Hippogriffs cheering]
They landed and Sky Beak saw Terramar.
Sky Beak: [chuckles] There's my boy!
Terramar: Hi, Dad!
They hugged.
Sky Beak: Haven't seen you in days, son. Wish you'd come around more often.
Terramar: Oh! Dad, these are some of Silverstream's friends from Equestria. They came up to—
Sky Beak: [gasps] Princess Twilight Sparkle and Team Loud Phoenix Storm! [screeches]
Cutie Mark Crusaders: Aah!
Me: Ow! Wow.
Nico: That was loud but cool.
Sky Beak: Attention, everygriff! Princess Twilight Sparkle is here! She's Silverstream's teacher! And the famous Team Loud Phoenix Storm is here.
[Hippogriffs gasping and exclaiming]
Sky Beak: And it's an honor to meet the famous Team Loud Phoenix Storm.
Me: Pleasure to meet you too sir. We are honored to be here.
Nico: Same here.
Sky Beak: It's an honor.
Laney: We are glad to be here.
Me: But Twilight Sparkle is here because she has important business.
Sky Beak: Of course. Here to take in the marvel that is Mount Aris, your Highness?
Twilight Sparkle: Absolutely! And to have you sign a form for Silverstream.
Sky Beak: Glad to! But first, let's show the princess some real Mount Aris hospitality! To the refreshment tent for a stein of salmon juice!
Me: Me and the Cutie Mark Crusaders here were called to help with a friendship problem.
I went over everything.
Sky Beak: I see. I'll have Terramar be with you all.
Me: Thank you.
Twilight Sparkle: Eh. Research. See you later! And good luck! I know you'll find your mission!
Me: We know we will Twilight.
Sweetie Belle: Well, your dad's certainly... outgoing, isn't he?
Terramar: He's a great guy. All my relatives are nice. That's kind of the problem—
We then heard melodious music.
Sweetie Belle: Wait, stop.
[whimsical wind chimes]
Me: Wow. That is melodious.
Sweetie Belle: What's that wonderful sound?
Terramar: Those are the Harmonizing Heights. Legend says that—
[zoom!]
Sweetie Belle zoomed into a park place and it had melodious music and more.
[whimsical wind chimes]
[birds chirping]
The park was so beautiful and the birds and butterflies flew all over and it was so beautiful.
[water splashing]
Sweetie Belle was jumping in the water and on the rocks.
Me: Wow.
Nico: Now that is so soothing and peaceful.
Sweetie Belle: Woo-hoo! Yeah! Awesome! I love this!
Terramar: Uh, is she okay?
Me: She's just enjoying the serenity of this whole place. It's so beautiful.
Sweetie Belle: This is absolutely the best place ever! You are so lucky!
Scootaloo: And you get to swim in the ocean! You have two great places to live!
Apple Bloom: How do you make up your mind which one to stay in?
Terramar: I can't. That's the problem.
Apple Bloom: Did you say... "problem"?
Sweetie Belle: You have a problem?!
He nodded.
Scootaloo: Yes!
Me: I think we found our friendship problem for you girls.
Sweetie Belle: Woo-hoo! (Birds flew away) We discovered our mission!
Scootaloo: All right!
Apple Bloom: We did it!
Sweetie Belle: Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo! [chuckles nervously]
Scootaloo: Sorry. You were talking about your problem?
Me: Yeah sorry they are just excited because we figured out their friendship mission.
Terramar: Right. That's okay. Like I said, Mount Aris is one great place to live. That's why Silverstream and my dad and some of my cousins came back here. But Seaquestria is another great place to live. That's where my mom is.
Me: Wow.
Sweetie Belle: Ohhhh. I-I didn't know that.
Me: Living in and being torn between two places at once can be really stressful.
Terramar: So no matter where I am, I feel like I'm letting someone down.
Me: Mm. I know how that feels.
Nico: Yeah it's tough.
Apple Bloom: No wonder you're having such a hard time deciding.
Terramar: And I have to choose soon. Every other griff my age already knows where they belong. I'm still not sure.
Scootaloo: When in doubt, chart it out!
We made a chart of Mount Aris and Seaquestria.
Scootaloo: Now, we put down everything great about each place and everything not so great. Compare them, and... your decision is made for you!
Nico: Good thinking girls.
Sweetie Belle: Well, it's obvious, isn't it? Mount Aris is the best of all possible worlds. Pro – it's beautiful. Con – too far from Equestria.
Me: It is beautiful and majestic.
Sweetie Belle: I think that pretty much sums it up.
Me: Not quite yet
Terramar: But you haven't been to Seaquestria yet. How can you even compare them?
Me: This will be our first time seeing Seaquestria. I've always wanted to see it.
Apple Bloom: Terramar's right, Sweetie Belle. It'd be fair if we visited both places before we decide.
Twilight Sparkle landed.
[screech]
Twilight Sparkle: Hey, everypony! This festival is fantastic! Look what I won at the ring toss booth!
We saw that Twilight won an awesome Trophy.
Me: Wow! Awesome trophy Twilight.
Nico: Cool.
Twilight Sparkle: Ahem. But of course, I'm really here on business. Sky Beak's already signed the form. Now I just need your mom's signature. Is she around?
Apple Bloom: Um... she's a seapony. In Seaquestria.
Twilight Sparkle: That's what Silverstream meant by "houses"!
Me: Yeah they live in two places.
Terramar: Mm-hmm. If you'd like to meet my mom, we're just heading down there now.
Apple Bloom: And how exactly are we gonna visit underwater?
Me: The Magic Pearl. But we have the power to live and fight and breathe underwater.
We were all in the water and the ponies held hooves and claws and Terramar touched his pearl shard.
[magic sounds]
They turned into seaponies.
[water bubbling]
Me: Oh wow!
Eli: That is so cool!
Varie: It sure is!
Nico: Awesome!
Scootaloo: Whoa! (Swimming around) [giggling] Woo-hoo! Yeah! [giggling] Whoa! This must be just like flying! Woo-hoo!
Me: (Laughs) Looks like someone loves the water.
Apple Bloom: Where's your mom's house, Terramar?
Terramar: Come on. It's this way.
We followed Terramar.
Scootaloo: This is awesome!
We were swimming and Scootaloo was having fun.
Scootaloo: [giggling]
We arrived in Seaquestria.
Me: Oh wow!
Nico: This must be Seaquestria.
Varie: It's beautiful.
Eli: Wow!
Ariel: It's magnificent.
Me: Incredible. We're the first humans to see this place.
Varie: And the first mermaids.
Laney: So awesome.
Lola: Look at all the beautiful fish.
Lana: And the seaponies too.
We went into a building.
Terramar: Mom!
We saw Terramar and Silverstream's mom Ocean Flow.
Ocean Flow: Terramar! Welcome home, baby! No excuses. This time, you're staying for dinner.
Terramar: [chuckles] Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle, Apple Bloom, J.D., everyone, this is my mom Ocean Flow. And this is—
Ocean Flow: [gasps] Princess Twilight Sparkle and J.D. Knudson and all of Team Loud Phoenix Storm! What an honor!
Me: Pleasure to meet you.
Nico: Same here.
Ocean Flow: You know, Silverstream just raves about all of you.
Twilight Sparkle: Well, she is one of our most hardworking students.
Me: And she's a great friend and teammate.
Twilight Sparkle: In fact, I brought this form for you to sign so that—
Ocean Flow: Both my children are so smart. Would you like to see their baby pictures?
Terramar: Mom!
Me: (Laughs) It's all right Terramar. The same thing happened to me several times in the past.
Terramar: Really?
Me: Mm-hmm.
Nico: Yeah we're pretty much used to it.
Twilight Sparkle: That sounds adorable! I'd love to! And you know, to find out about aquatic pony early development and, uh...
Cutie Mark Crusaders: [giggling] Research.
Me: She wants to come down here for research and more.
Ocean Flow: Oh, well, maybe your friends would like a snack while we're gone? Some kelp chips? Fish oil tea?
Terramar: No, thanks, Mom. I'm gonna go show them around.
Me: It'll be cool to see all of Seaquestria.
We followed Terramar.
Scootaloo: Look out! [giggling] (Fish chased her) Can't catch me!
Sweetie Belle: Huh. Not much sunlight down here, is there?
Me: No it's dark in some spots.
Scootaloo: [giggling]
[bongo drums drumming]
Scootaloo: Boom-ba-da-boom-ba-da-boom-ba-da-boom-ba-da-boom-ba-da-boom-ba-da-boom!
Luna: Rockin beats dude.
Sweetie Belle: No grass to run in and no hooves to run on it with. And excuse me, but how do you keep from getting all pruney? [sighs]
Me: I guess it's part of the Seaponies biological makeup. Same thing with mermaids. It's really cool.
Scootaloo was having a really fun time.
Scootaloo: [laughing]
[thud]
She crashed head first into the ground and came out with a conch shell in her mouth.
Scootaloo: [bubbly] Everything sounds funny down here!
Me: Well it's part of the water Scootaloo.
Bubble transition
Sweetie Belle: Okay. I've seen everything I need to. So, uh, why don't we find Twilight Sparkle, finish the chart, and, uh, head back up the mountain? I have some serious field twirling to do.
Me: (Laughs) The Harmonizing Heights were really tranquil. In fact they have given me a great idea for our park back at the World Tree Estate.
Sweetie Belle swam off.
Scootaloo: Where's she going? I want to stay and swim some more! [sighs]
Me: Yeah being underwater is really fun. I like it too.
Nico: We all do.
FLASHBACK ENDS
Me: We pretty much know how it all went after that.
Nico: Yeah but it was so cool seeing Seaquestria and Mount Aris.
Eli: And meeting Silverstream and Terramar's parents.
Lola: It sure was and Scootaloo had a lot of fun there.
Nico: She sure did. Scootaloo had a lot of fun underwater.
Lana: Yeah.
Me: Also we had no idea this happened twice. Terramar was having the same friendship problem twice. The 1st time was back before we met everyone in Equestria and now after we got the World Tree Estate.
Varie: Wow! What are the odds of that?
Nico: No kidding. And it killed a few minutes. Dr. Lopez should be here any minute.
DING DONG!
Me: Oh that's her.
The Elevator came up and opened and out came Dr. Lopez.
Me: Hello doctor.
Dr. Lopez: (Spanish Accent) Hello J.D.
Swift Foot: Thanks for agreeing to meet with Nico, Dr. Lopez.
Dr. Lopez: It was my pleasure Swift Foot and thank you all for inviting me over.
Me: Our pleasure doctor. Thank you very much for coming. Can I get you some coffee or water?
Dr. Lopez: No thank you but thanks for offering.
Me: You're welcome.
We brought her over to the living room and Nico was laying down on the sofa.
Me: Let me get you your special chair.
I made a Psychiatrist Easy Chair for her.
Dr. Lopez: Thank you J.D.
Me: Pleasure.
She sat down and we were talking.
Nico told her about everything that happened during the events of the battles with Talon, Organization XIII, The Digimon Emperor, and everything that happened in his past and all that.
Dr. Lopez: I see. The incidents with the Talon members, the Digimon Emperor, and Organization XIII were probably difficult for you and the others to overcome.
Nico: They really were. And you and I know that I would never want anything bad to happen to J.D. and the others. But... do you think there's a part of my subconscious that wanted J.D. and the Loud Kids to suffer during the events that I mentioned in this session?
Justin Stewart: I sure hope not.
Dr. Lopez: No Nico there isn't. You have a heart that is as pure as diamond and you would never let anything happen to your friends or family. After everything that happened with you and all that you are doing a great and magnificent job with J.D. as 2nd in command and as leader. You did a great job in his place while he was away.
Me: That's right man and I would never speak such ill will of you not after everything you went through and all that.
Goku: You may be a Saiyan but you are just as pure and as gentle as me and everyone you know and love.
May: And you have me as your most awesome wife.
Me: And me as a great brother. You and I have been very close since you moved in almost 3 years ago. And besides you also have Salem inside you to protect you.
Salem: That's right Nico and after everything I did on Remnant and everything that happened to you I swore that I would protect you as part of my punishment and atonement.
Me: That's right Nico. Besides like I told you before with Organization XIII and the Digimon Emperor that we were warned that it was gonna happen with them and Discord told us that Bill Cipher's return was inevitable. Talon used that as an opportunity for their plans.
Nico: Yeah you're right about that.
Lola: Yeah. And we regret everything we said to you back then.
Me: I would never say such things to you Nico. It wasn't your fault all that happened.
Eli: Yeah man. Also we were dealing with a lot of pressure and all that.
Me: Yep.
Maria: Look, J.D. I don't know why you and the Loud Kids have been getting angry at villains more then usual ever since the Sullen 6 were defeated. But if Nico ends up breaking down and crying during this therapy session, we're gonna have to ask you guys to sit out the next mission.
Thrust: Sorry, guys. But I agree with Maria on this one.
Me: I understand.
Nico: It's all right guys. I'm not gonna be crying anytime soon. Besides, I would rather see that happen to J.D. than to me.
Me: (Sarcastically) Thanks a lot. (Normal) But I'm sorry that you guys are seeing us more angry than usual. It's just that more villains are starting to surface and it's making our jobs harder and all that. And like I told you all before when Nico was in his room sulking and all that, that I formed Team Loud Phoenix Storm as a way to help bring villains to justice. Also we've been under a lot of pressure because the war on April 12th is getting closer and closer and we have 10 days left to get ready. It's gonna be just as brutal as it was when we went into battle with the Royal Defenders 9 months ago.
Nico: I understand J.D.
Dr. Lopez: What war is it this time?
Me: It's a war with all the most dangerous enemies in all of Equestria.
Nico: 23 of the most dangerous enemies in all of Equestria are banding together for an all out war to destroy everything.
Lola: Yeah and we have to stop them.
Me: Yep.
I went over the history of the villains.
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.

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.

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.

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.
When I was finished some of us gasped and so did Dr. Lopez.
Dr. Lopez: Oh man. No wonder you all have been under so much stress.
Me: Yeah and we have to be ready for anything. This could be the mother of all battles.
Nico: Yep.
Dr. Lopez got up.
Strafe: Thanks for your time, Dr. Lopez. It probably has been a while since we had a therapy session with you.
Dr. Lopez: I'm glad I was able to help. If you all need anything just give me a call.
Me: We will doctor. Thank you.
Dr. Lopez went to the elevator and took it down.
Me: Well that went well.
Nico: It did. And J.D. I understand how you feel. I am under a lot of pressure myself.
Me: I think we all are.
Lori: Yeah we are.
G1 Darkwing: (to me and the Loud Kids) Maybe you guys should stay here while we go to Acmetropolis. Especially in light of what you guys just told us.
Me: Sorry but no. I know you guys are concerned for us and we appreciate that but we can't abandon a mission. Also the Loonatics helped us take down Bedlam in the 41st Century and now we have to pay back that debt by helping them take down their enemies.
Nico: That's right. They are allies and we all have to do it together.
Laney: That's right and it will be so cool to see the world that the Loonatics live in.
Box Ghost, Dark Spicer, Copperhead, Goliath, Anti Wanda, Cavalier, Mojo Jojo, and Chemistro then appeared.
Box Ghost: Can me, Dark, Copperhead, Goliath, Anti Wanda, Cavalier, Mojo Jojo, and Chemistro go with you guys?
Me: You all sure can.
Copperhead: Awesome.
Me: According to my scanners the Loonatics are from the 28th Century.
Nico: Wow. So 700 to 800 years into the future.
Me: Yep. Lets go.
I opened a portal and we went through it.
ACMETROPOLIS - 2772 A.D.
Acmetropolis was a massive and thriving city in the distant future and it was a massively advanced place. The portal opened and we arrived. We gasped at what we were seeing.
Me: Wow!
Nico: Incredible! So this is Acmetropolis!
Lincoln: Amazing!
Flywheels: Acmetropolis sure looks futuristic.
May: (to me and the Loud Kids) Try not to lose it here, okay?
Me: Don't worry we won't May.
Nico: But this is so amazing.
Laney: I can't believe that Acmetropolis is this advanced and amazingly high tech.
Lisa Loud: It sure is a magnificent place full of technological advancements.
Eli: I was just about to say the same thing.
We walked around and we got to the tower of the Loonatics and we went in and we saw them playing games. We saw Ace Bunny the Descendant of Bugs Bunny, Lexi Bunny the Descendant of Lola Bunny, Danger Duck the Descendant of Daffy Duck, Slam the Descendant of Tazmanian Devil, Rev Runner the Descendant of Roadrunner and Tech Coyote the Descendant of Wile E. Coyote.
Copperhead: Hi there, Loonatics!
Ace Bunny: Hey guys!
Me: Ace, everyone! (We shake hands) It's great to see you all again.
Lexi Bunny: Same to all of you. It's great to see all of you here in the 28th Century.
Me: Same here. Thank you guys for helping us take down Bedlam in the 41st Century. We owe you all for that.
Rev Runner: Think nothing of it J.D.
Tech: Yeah it was all just to help you all out.
Danger Duck: But we always like helping out.
Me: So do we. We came to help you all kill some of your enemies.
Nico: Yeah.
We told them about it.
Lexi Bunny: So, basically, it's okay for us to kill some villains?
Needlenose: Yep. And you guys won't have to suffer any consequeces.
Danger Duck: That's good! I just wish you guys had told us this before we locked Ophiuchus Sam up in the local jail.
Lynn: (sheepishly) Um... oops!
Me: Isn't he Yosemite Sam's descendant?
Ace Bunny: As a matter of fact yes he is.
Me: Wow. Here in the 28th Century your ancestors legacies live on in all of you.
Ace Bunny: That's right. I'm Bugs Bunny's descendant.
Lexi Bunny: I'm the descendant of Lola Bunny.
Slam: Tazmanian Devil my descendant.
Danger Duck: Daffy Duck is my descendant.
Rev Runner: I'm Roadrunner's descendant.
Tech Coyote: I'm the descendant of Wile E. Coyote.
Me: Wow. Your ancestors would all be really proud of you.
Varie: They all sure would.
Zarya: Absolutely.
Me: But we're so sorry that the world was nearly destroyed.
Ace Bunny: That's all right. But we're all still here.
Nico: It's hard to imagine that a meteor would slammed into the Earth and cause all this to happen.
Ace Bunny: I know.
Me: And who was the cause of that meteor?
Ace Bunny: His name is Optimatus.
Ace went over his history.
Optimatus is the primary antagonist of the Loonatics Unleashed two part "Acmegeddon" and in certain ways is the main antagonist turned anti hero of the entire series, since he unintentionally created the supernatural forces that have plagued Acmetropolis by launching the meteor that struck it.
He was voiced by Charlie Adler.
Optimatus was born on the planet Freeling (a joke on the name Fritz Freeling, one of the original creators of Looney Tunes). He was born into the royal family with his sister Zadavia, both of them were destined to become co-rulers of the planet, but both had opposite ideals. Optimatus believed Freeling should conquer and enslave other planets and build a mighty empire with inter-dimensional transport, while Zadavia wanted peace. The Freeling council supported Zadavia, but Optimatus refused to yield, built a robotic army and launched a coup de tat. He kidnapped the council, then tried to kill Zadavia. Zadavia escaped via a ship, but in the process, Optimatus was severely injured by the ships exhaust engines, forcing him to wear robotic parts. Using one of her brothers wormhole generators, Zadavia escaped to Acmetropolis. But Optimatus eventually found her, and tried to kill her by launching a meteor at Acmetropolis. Zadavia saved herself and the planet by slowing the meteor down, but the impact was still strong enough to knock the planet of axis, create supernatural powers, and kill millions of innocent lives.
Return
Through unknown ways, Optimatus tracked down the villains Sypher, Mastermind, Weather Vane and Massive and brought them to his lair on a barren lifeless world, possibly the ruins of Freeling. He offered them rule of Acmetropolis in exchange for service and the defeat of the Loonatics and gave them a special computer chip to put in their base. The 4 villains defeated Ace, Lexie, Slam and Tech and imprisoned them inside a special cell. The 4 villains eventually installed the chip which destroyed the base's signal systems. The villains brought Duck and Rev back to the cell, but the Loonatics escaped. in the ensuing battle Sypher stole Duck's power and was brought to Optimatus' lair.
Confrontation
The rest of the Loonatics and Zadavia arrived via Zadavia's ship, but Optimatus sent his fighters to destroy them. Zadavia was captured while the fighters destroyed the ship and nearly killed Ace and Rev (The rest of them had abandoned ship to aid Zadavia, while Ace and Rev barely escaped). Zadavia was brought to her evil brother who revealed his plan to destroy Acmetropolis. The 4 other villains, feeling betrayed attacked Optimatus, but were all easily defeated and sent back to Acmetropolis, and opened a wormhole that would destroy it. Duck helped Zadavia escape and she engaged her evil brother. Eventually, the wormhole was relocated to Optimatus' base and swallowed it just as the Loonatics escaped in Optimatus' ship. Optimatus followed them however by stowing away on the ship, but Zadavia send him back to his lair with his own technology. Optimatus was last seen in his nearly frozen lair vowing revenge.
Final Battle and Redemption
In "The Fall of Blanc part 1", Optimatus is freed by Rupes Oberon and together they find General Deuce and attack Planet Blanc, the center of the universe, and attempt to capture Tweetums but he manages to get away. When the Loonatics and Zadavia arrive and the Loonatics arrive at the palace, they attack them. During the fight, Optimatus and Deace betray Rupes and takes his guitar with Zadavia's powers. The two devise a plan with Optimatus looking for Tweetums and Deuce going to Acmetropolis to get his robot army. Optimatus finds Tweetums but finds out it is a robotic fake. In 'The Search for Tweetums Part 2' Optimatus and Deuce find Tweetum's secret hide out and the Loonatics. The two groups fight and Optimatus and Deuce threaten Tweetums in exchange for the royal Scepter that controls the wormholes but they capture Duck and leave the Loonatics underground. But Deuce betrays Optimatus and tells him his plan to put the universe in an never ending war and tells him that he sent her sister to her doom. Optimatus is freed by Zadavia, who reveals how she survived and they join forces to help the Loonatics stop Deuce. After winning the battle and Ace exiling Deuce. Optimatus agrees to go back to Freeling with Zadavia to rule it.
When he was done we gasped in shock!
Me: Optimatus is a monster!
Laney: A heartless tyrant!
Nico: We need to kill him.
Me: And we can capture the others. But first lets see what it says about them.
I pulled up the history of the other four.
Drake Sypher
Drake Sypher, or just Sypher, is an enemy of the Loonatics and a part-time supervillain.
He is voiced by Phil LaMarr who also voiced Mad Jack and Hector Con Carne.
He has the ability to absorb major ablilities from any person or animal he touches. Not only super-powers, but also the natural abilities of living creatures. The disadvantage is if he's touched again your powers will come back to you. Sypher was on the Acmetropolis basherball team and stole the abilities of head player, Trick Dayley, to gain spotlight. He stole the Loonatics' powers for personal glory, resulting in them using exo-suits to take back their powers and defeat him. Sypher worked alongside with Massive, Weather Vane, and Mastermind, aiding Optimatus in his attempt of defeating the Loonatics in the two-part season 1 finale, "Acmegeddon". Naturally, the other villains didn't trust him, when Optimatus revealed he was going to destroy Acmetropolis, Sypher and the other villains tried and failed to stop him. He is a selfish glory hound only interested in himself who would sell his own mother for the spotlight. He is also power hungry, desperate to keep his stolen ability's, and stated he hated being powerless like those he had absorbed.
Massive
Massive is a very large criminal who can control gravity and has a very hard body structure that even lasers cannot penetrate. He committed robberies simply to make himself rich and seemingly had a compulsion for this behavior. He is also not shy about this, telling everyone his name right before he robs them.
The only limit to his powers is a kind of conservation of energy, meaning making something heavier means making something else lighter, and vice versa. Although this isn't always demonstrated in the battles themselves.
Having the ability to control gravity, the new villain Massive used it to his advantage to steal money from Acmetropolis to gain as much money as he can. While the Loonatics and the citizens prepare for the championship game of Basherball, Massive attempts to steal the championship trophy. The Loonatics then defeat Massive and send him to prision. He worked alongside Drake Sypher, Weather Vane, and Mallory Mastermind to aid Optimatus in his attempt to defeat the Loonatics in the two-part season finale "Acmegeddon." However, when it was revealed that Optimatus actually wanted to destroy Acmetropolis, Massive and the other villains tried and failed to stop him. He and Optimatus engaged in a wrestling match and were seemingly evenly matched until Weathervane aided Massive, however Optimatus was able to defeat them both with a burst of power. He was last seen at the end of "A Creep in the Deep" as one of the imprisoned supervillains. A robot in the form of Massive was used by Otto the Odd to capture people for him to freeze for his collection.
Mallory Mastermind
Mallory Casey (also known as Mastermind) is the main antagonist of the Loonatics Unleashed episode "The Menace of the Mastermind". She is Tech E. Coyote's archenemy.
She was voiced by the late Florence Henderson, who also played Patti Sue Diamond in Murder, She Wrote.
History
Mastermind was used to be a student being tutored by Tech. Apparently, she worked on a project that can ampilfy brainwaves, but her true motive was to drain the intellect from the professers from the academy. However, she was foiled by Tech when he was deactivating her machine, being taken to prison, but not before a misfire of energy from the machine causes her head to grow in size. This causes her to grow a huge head and a thirst for revenge against Tech.
Weather Vane
Weather Vane was formerly a news assistant named Paula Hayes who gained the ability to control or mentally affect the weather from the meteor. This includes the ability to generate various natural phenomena (rain, tornadoes, lightning, etc.) or control the intensity of the weather. Her main attacks are lightning and is capable of creating cloud creatures. First, she used her powers to get in as the weather reporter. But when she is struck by the very lightning she predicted, she turned evil and her powers were vastly increased. She has a great dislike for Acmetropolis' most famous weather girl and her boss Misty Breeze, and attempted to destroy the city unless Misty Breeze was delivered to her. She transformed into a huge Storm Dragon and when the Storm Dragon was destroyed, it was presumed that she escaped. However in the episode "Acmegeddon (Part One)" she appeared again, this time locked in a special holding chamber which she could not escape from. In this episode, she was freed by Optimatus along with Sypher, Mastermind and Massive. Together, the indebted villains aided Optimatus in his plan to destroy the Loonatics. However, when it was revealed that Optimatus was actually going to destroy Acmetropolis, Weather Vane and the other villains tried and failed to stop him. She and Massive together were not only able to hold their ground but even injure Optimatus, however they were eventually overpowered. She is possibly last seen at the end of "A Creep in the Deep" as one of the imprisoned supervillains along with her old partner Massive.
We gasped in shock.
Me: Oh man!
Stormy Weather: Weather Vane and I are very similar. I know just how she feels.
Bonnie (Pokemon): Then we can have her redeemed.
Danger Duck: You can try.
Lola: We WILL try.
Me: So we're going to kill Optimatus and capture Massive, Mastermind and Drake Sypher.
Nico: And redeem Weather Vane.
Laney: Yep.
?: And I know you all can do it.
A figure appeared and it was Optimatus' sister Zadavia.
Ace Bunny: Zadavia.
Me: It's an honor.
Gilda: It's an honor to meet you, Zadavia.
Zadavia: And it's an honor to meet you all too Team Loud Phoenix Storm. Your arrival couldn't be anymore perfect.
Me: We have a habit of showing up at the right time. We're so sorry about what happened to the world here.
Zadavia: It's all right J.D. You all went through some rough times yourselves and you all made it through them all and that shows how strong you all are willing to go to protect all of those you love.
Me: We never give up on our friends and families.
Goliath: While we're waiting for Optimatus and his lackeys to make a move, how about we show you guys the usual battles?
Me: You guys are all in for quite a treat. We have them to test our powers and skills and we also get stronger as we bond with our frenemies in the Masters of Evil.
Nico: And they are fun to hang out with.
Ace Bunny: I see. We'll have to see if we can partake in the battles you all have.
Me: We'll arrange that.
Hunter: (German Accent) Ja. Und they are great training teachers too.
Laney: We've had a lot of fun since the Battle with Thanos.
Me: We sure have.
Enchantress, Shade, Grizzly, Spot, Unicorn, Plastique, Selene and Nergal then appeared.
Me: Enchantress, Shade, Grizzly, Spot, Unicorn, Plastique, Selene and Nergal.
Shade: Looks like we found you all.
Me: You sure did.
Enchantress: You guys should've brought Bugs and his friends for this.
Maria: Yeah, We should've.
Shade: But there's always tomorrow.
Nergal: Before the battles, how about I treat us all to some pizza?
Danger Duck: Aw, sweet! I love pizza!
Grizzly: (to Slam) No, Slam. You can't have the pizza all to yourself. You have to share.
Me: That's right and we all can't fight on an empty stomach.
Nergal: Now everyone there's plenty of pizza for us all.
He got to work and made many pizza pies and more and we had an all you can eat buffet of pizza and more.
Me: (Eating) Mmm! Great pizza!
Nico: (Eating) Always good.
Slam ate a pizza slice and was about to eat 4 more.
Nico: (looks at Slam sternly) Slam. Remember. Sharing is caring.
Slam: Sorry.
Me: Good boy.
Nico: Good pizza though.
Me: Yep. Like his ancestor he has the same appetite.
Eli: He sure does.
?: I love Taz and how he is always hungry.
A figure came out and it was DREADFEATHER of episode 21 of Turbo!
Dreadfeather was summoned by Divatox to seek out the legendary vehicles known as Storm Blaster and Lightning Cruiser so that her crew would have the firepower to finally destroy the Turbo Rangers. He first went to the Omega Quadrant and soon located the cars after sitting on their asteroid from him as energy fireballs. He then accompanied Elgar and some Piranhatrons to capture the vehicles although they escaped. He then went with the group again which resulted in a confrontation with T.J. and Justin, ending with the capture of Justin and Storm Blaster. He was then seen at the warehouse several times torturing Storm Blaster before T.J. and Lightning Cruiser broke them out. When Divatox arrived, Elgar was sent with Dreadfeather to destroy the Rangers in their own car. Whilst Elgar fought the others, Dreadfeather attacked Justin and T.J.. After a long battle, Dreadfeather was winched in place by Storm Blaster and annihilated by Lightning Cruiser's lasers.
T.J. Johnson: Dreadfeather!
Dreadfeather: Been a while rangers.
Me: I remember you! You were summoned by Divatox to get the Storm Blaster and Lightning Cruiser vehicles so that she can kill the rangers.
Dreadfeather: That's right. Mistress Vypra was right about you J.D. You have a sharp memory.
Me: Never missed an episode.
Dreadfeather: (to the Turbo Rangers) Remind me never to underestimate those vehicles of yours.
T.J.: Noted.
Dreadfeather: Great to have you back though J.D.
Me: Good to be back and remembering monsters from the rangers.

Discord: No it wasn't. What Optimatus did to their world was chaotic and awful.
Seabreeze: (Swedish Accent) Indeed it is. Awful though.
Mage Meadowbrook: Indeed. It sure is awful.
Sir Great Britain: No kidding.
Sheep Creep bleeted.
Wallflower: Yeah no kidding.
Selene: You'll get no argument from me out of all this. The Hellfire Club may have been dangerous but we still have honor. Lets do it!
Selene went at them and punched and kicked at them with powerful moves and more and they dodged them all over. Wallflower and Sheep Creep blasted and smashed her all over.
Sam Simpson, Fluttershy, Tree Hugger, Discord, Seabreeze, Mage Meadowbrook, Sir Great Britain, Sheep Creep and Wallflower: NATURE FLAME STYLE FORMATION ART: FURY OF THE LYNX FLAME!
They fired waves of fire and it formed into a Lynx and knocked her down.

Triple Berry: But it's all great pizza.
Lily Longsocks: Yep.
Pyunma: Indeed.
Timmy and Alice agreed.

He had tentacles come out and went at them. They dodged his strikes full of electricity. Alice and Timmy blasted him all over.
Blake Belladonna, Starlight Glimmer, Trixie, Juniper Montage, Clover the Clever, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Toxic Horror, Louie PoisonSea, Pip-Squeak, Petunia Paleo, Triple Berry, Lily Longsocks, Pyunma, Totally Spies Timmy and Totally Spies Alice: STELLAR FLAME STYLE FORMATION ART: STARFIRE OF URSA MAJOR!
They fired waves of star fire and they formed into a huge bear and knocked him down.
Blake: All right!
Starlight Glimmer: That was great!
Trixie: Another great performance by The Great and Powerful Trixie!
Battle 9: Turbo, Megaforce, Flash, Sonic, Shadow and Lynn VS Dreadfeather
Dreadfeather was next.
T.J. Johnson: Lets do it!
Turbo Rangers: SHIFT INTO TURBO!
The Turbo Rangers transformed and they were ready!
Turbo Rangers: POWER RANGERS TURBO!
KRABBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
A massive fiery explosion went off behind them and they were ready!
Troy Burrows: Lets double the power!
Megaforce Rangers: LEGENDARY RANGER MODE! TURBO!
The Megaforce Rangers turned into the Turbo Rangers as well!
Lynn: YEAH! Lets show some speed.
Sonic: Awesome! Lets do it!
Turbo, Megaforce, Flash, Sonic, Shadow and Lynn: SPEED STYLE FORMATION ART: SUPERSONIC ULTRA BOOM!
They ran fast and smashed Dreadfeather down with incredible power!
Turbo Rangers and Megaforce Ranger: TURBO RAM CANNON!
They called the Turbo Ram Cannon and fired a powerful energy blast and it hit Dreadfeather and he exploded into nothing.
KRABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM!
Lynn: YEAH! Dreadfeather you have failed this universe.
Sonic: He was a total slow-mo.
Shadow: Yeah he was.
Troy Burrows: That's a super mega win.
We were done and the Loonatics cheered.
Lexi Bunny: That was so awesome!
Slam: Slam liked it!
Rev Runner: Yeah it was!
Me: Glad you liked the show.
Runabout: Now that the usual battles are done, let's see if Optimatus has made a move yet.
Me: Lets see.
I concentrated and I sensed that a ship was coming.
Me: He's coming.
Eli: Yeah I sense it. He's moving fast.
Nico: Then lets get ready.
Laney: Right!
We were about to get ready but we saw the Loud Kids sulking again.
Cavalier: (to me and the Loud Kids) Are you all coming?
Lincoln: (depressed) What's the point? All this pressure from all our battles and the upcoming war has become too much for us. One more angry outburst from us and the public will hate us again.
Lexi Bunny: That's not gonna matter if Optimatus succeeds in whatever his plan is!
Me: Lexi is right guys! Sulking about it and wallowing in self pity is not gonna get the job done.
Nico: That's right! You think I wanted to quit like you guys did when I lost hope? Yes and whose fault was that? The Digimon Empeor and my enemies! But J.D. and you all saved me from myself because I was depressed.
Me: You guys need to stop wallowing in self-pity and think about what will happen to your friends and relatives if we don't stop our enemies. I formed Team Loud Phoenix Storm to defend our friends, our families and everything we care about and see to it that justice is brought to our enemies. Not out of pure hatred but for the love and safety of everyone we care about. I couldn't do it by myself. I made Team Loud Phoenix Storm to do all that. This is what the Sullen 6 wants. By wallowing in self pity you are letting the Sullen 6 and all our enemies that we killed over the years win. By wallowing in darkness you are letting them win. Is that what you want?
Eli: I don't think so. Like it or not we are all in this together. We always win and the Sullen 6 can go fuck themselves! I don't care what they think. They got what they deserved and they can go fuck themselves into oblivion!
Nico: Well said.
Me: I don't care what the Sullen 6 say either. But like it or not we're all in this together. Good always wins.
Nico: That's right!
Lincoln: (Sighs) You're right. Lets get over it guys!
Lori: Yeah!
Lynn: And if they hate us then that's their problem.
Me: Lets get them.
Eli: They have hostages. Lets go!
We flew to a building and we saw lots of hostages.
Me: Let the hostages go!
Mastermind: You want the hostages? Come get them!
Rev: With pleasure! (runs to the hostages)
Ace Bunny: Rev, wait!
But it was too late. Rev tried to grab one of the hostages but they turned out to be holograms. This distracted Rev long enough for Sypher to bolt a device to his wrist.
Rev: What the?
Eye Five: I knew it was looked too easy!
Sypher: Like the device? It's a bomb with a three mile blast radius. If you try to remove the bomb, it explodes. If you do nothing in 120 seconds, it explodes.
Weather Vane: Before you heroically leave the surrounding area to protect the civilians, there's one last thing. Once you start running, if you decelerate...
Maria: It explodes. We get it!
Massive: You all have 62 seconds to decide what to do. Meanwhile, we're heading back to our ship where we'll be safe and sound.
Flotsam: And to raise the stakes a little...
Flotsam and Jetsam then grab Poliwag.
Horsea: Poliwag!
Poliwag: Horsea! Help!
Optimatus: Are you kidding me? All the people to take hostage here and you two choose a Poliwag?!
Jetsam: You want to keep arguing with us or should we get to safety?
The bad guys then teleport to their ship with Poliwag as their hostage.
Lincoln: DAMMIT! They got away!
May: We'll worry about them later. Right now, we have to defuse the bomb!
Nico: Rev, start running!
Rev: But-
Nico: Don't worry about the bomb! Me and Mojo will use telepathy to talk you through getting rid of it!
Me: This is like something out of the movie Speed.
Nico: It sure is. Go!
Me: Go for it.
Nico and Mojo got to work.
Me: Hurry!
Rev ran fast.
Nico: (telepathically) Rev, do you see any walls nearby?
Rev: Why?
Me: Because we need you to run into one. Or more accurately, through one.
Rev: What?
Mojo: If you vibrate at the natural frequency of air, your body... your cells will be in a state of excitement that should allow you to phase right through that wall, leaving the bomb on the other side.
Rev: Okay I see what you mean! Lets do it!
Rev ran fast and Nico had Rev phase through the wall and it came off.
Nico: Yeah!
The bomb was disarmed.
Lexi Bunny: How are we going to get on Optimatus' ship? Not all of us can fly!
Wallflower: First, let's get onto some rooftops!
Me: Right.
We went to the rooftops.
Me: Okay this is gonna be interesting. Loonatics, it's time I introduce you to our awesome spaceship.
I pressed a button on my device and then a portal opened up and we saw the U.S.S. Valorous Phoenix come out of it.
Me: Awesome.
Nico: Yeah!
Rev Runner: Wow! That massive thing is your ship?
Me: It sure is. Lets go!
We jumped and went on board.
Me: Red Alert and battlestations everyone!
The alarms sounded and we were off to Optimatus' ship.
We then arrived at Optimatus' ship and it was right behind the Earth's Moon.
Me: This is it guys!
Anti-Wanda: All right. For those of ya'll that can't fly, just grab onto one of us.
They did so.
Me: Here we go. Get ready Optimatus! (Eyes Glow Red) You fucked around with the world for the last time!
Zadavia: You are no longer my brother after today.
Nico: Lets get him!
Me: Forward!
We were off!
Poliwag was annoying the living hell out of them in a rocket room.
But then...
KRABBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
A massive fiery explosion blasted a hole into the ship and a Phoenix Cry was heard and we landed.
Me: Game is over!
Optimatus: (to Sypher) I thought you took care of him!
Sypher: I did! That bomb should've reduced him to a pile of dust by now!
Batman: Don't feel too bad. Actually, my contingency plan for Flash involved a non lethal version of what you tried to pull on Rev.
Totally Spies Alice: That being said, it was only logical for Batman to have a solution for said contingency. We simply had to apply that solution to your bomb.
Me: That's right! You messed with us for the last time and now you all will pay for your crimes!
Zadavia: Brother you will pay for everything you have done.
Nico: No one takes Poliwag from me and lives.
Eli: I will kill you all!
Me: Save seconds for me! Optimatus your crimes are unpardonable and unforgivable. Your crimes cannot go unpunished! In the name of Team Loud Phoenix Storm...

Optimatus: (laughs) You think you can make that happen and stop my rocket in time?
Dark Spicer: We probably can considering your rocket's going to launch in 5 minutes. Just enough time for us to take you down!
Me: YOU ARE DEAD!
I teleported and punched Optimatus in the face and sent him flying and he crashed into the rocket control panels and then the rocket exploded with incredible power!
KRABBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!
Optimatus: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY PLANS ARE RUINED! YOU MOTHERFUCKING MAGGOTS WILL NOW SUFFER!
Me: You are going to know a new meaning to the word suffer! I'm GOING TO RIP YOUR MOTHERFUCKING HIDE APART IN THE MOST PAINFUL AND EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL WAY EVER!
I slashed his eyes and cut them out of his face and he screamed in excruciating pain!
Me: LETS GET THEM!

They transformed and were ready.

KRABBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMM!
A massive fiery explosion went off behind them and they were ready!
Me: Lets rip them apart!
We went at them and we were gonna make sure they all paid in a horrible way!
Battle 10: Me, Ace Bunny, Jack Landors, Zick and Tyler Bowman VS Optimatus
Optimatus was first.
Optimatus: Even with your powers, you're all no match for me!
Jack Landors: You're right. Time to take this to the next level! SPD BATTLIZER!
He turned into the SPD Battlizer!
Me: Then I will show you my ultimate power!
I went Super Angel-Ebonwu-Phoenix 500,000,000!
Me: (Divine Echoing Elemental Voice) You really have been asking for this!
Optimatus: We'll see about...
KRAKROW!
I smashed my fist into his stomach with devastating force and he belched up a huge amount of blood and he was in excruciating pain!
Jack Landors kicked and smashed Optimatus all over with indiscriminate fury and I kicked Optimatus in the face and Ace slashed him all over with his sword and Zick and Tyler blasted him all over with energy blasts.
Battle 11: Danger Duck, Kevin Reynolds, Sky Tate, Elena Potato, Eli and Horsea VS Flotsam & Jetsam
Flotsam & Jetsam were next.
Flotsam: Pathetic Horsea.
Jetsam: You will pay for what you've done to us!
Danger Duck: (to Horsea) What exactly did you do to piss them off?!
Horsea: Don't ask!
Eli: (To Flotsam & Jetsam) The only place you two are going is in our stomachs for dinner!
Eli unsheathed his sword and slashed Flotsam and Jetsam to pieces
Sky Tate, Kevin, Danger Duck, Elena and Horsea blasted them into hot meat and Eli put the meat into a bag.
Battle 12: Nico, Slam, Roach, Bridge, Johanna Thaur and Varie VS Massive
Massive was next.
Massive: (to Slam) I will make you suffer, mindless brute!
Slam's response? He blew a raspberry at Massive.
Lynn smashed Massive down and ripped his legs off and Slam smashed his arms off!
Lynn: Take that you ugly giant!
Johanna blasted him with energy blasts and Nico, Roach, Bridge, Slam and Varie blasted and smashed him all over with powerful fury.
Battle 13: Tech, Z, Shope, Lay Mamery and Lisa Loud VS Mastermind
Mastermind was next.
Tech: (to Mastermind) You made a big mistake not killing me when you had the chance.
Mastermind: (smirks evilly) Believe me. I won't repeat it.
Lisa then blasted Mastermind's arms off!
Lisa Loud: You will never torture anyone with your mechanical abominations of science again!
Tech: Yeah!
Lay, Shope, Z and Tech blasted her all over with energy and lightning blasts and electrocuted her into numb pulp.
Battle 14: Lynn, Rev, Sydney Drew, Amy Anderson, Bobby Clash, and Pakura VS Drake Sypher
Drake Sypher was next.
Having drained Poliwag's powers before we did our entrance, Cypher used a Hydro Pump on Rev only for him to dodge the water.
Rev: You never asked me how my wrist was healing.
Sypher: (sighs) Fine. How's your-
Sypher was cut off as Rev punched him in the face, knocking him down.
Rev: (laughs) Surprisingly fast.
He picked up Poliwag and handed him to Nico.
Nico then jumped on Sypher's legs and smashed them with a sickening crunch and snapped them like twigs! Sypher screamed in excruciating pain as his legs were smashed to pieces and Nico fired an energy blast and blew a hole in his chest. He ripped his heart out and then he ate the heart in front of him as he was dying! Sypher died in an instant and then Nico brought him back.
Lynn, Rev, Sydney, Amy, Bobby and Pakura burned and blasted him all over.
Nico: That was for kidnapping Poliwag!
They then gathered Massive, Mastermind and Sypher together.
Nico: You guys will answer for your crimes in Hell. (Pulls out Morpher) JUDGEMENT MODE!
He opened it and a time came on and 1 minute later the red X lit up.
Nico: GUILTY!
Battle 15: Stormy Weather, Lexi Bunny, Sam the Omega Ranger, Wally Machaby, Zen & Mem and Bonnie (Pokemon) VS Weather Vane
Weather Vane was next.
Weather Vane: (to Lexi Bunny) You really think you can stop me this time, Lexi?
Lexi Bunny: Why not? We've stopped you pretty much every time you show yourself.
Stormy Weather then saw that Weather Vane was in pain and she knew she was suffering on the inside.
Stormy Weather: Lexi wait. Let me and Bonnie talk to her.
Lexi Bunny: What are you gonna do?
Stormy Weather: Reform her.
They went up to her.
Stormy Weather: Paula listen to me. My name is Aurore Beauréal and I too am a weather reporter. I once was like you and I was turned into Stormy Weather as a result of my unappreciation and lack of popularity and all that because of my former classmate Mireille Caquet. She was always better than me and got more votes than I did. I did not like how she was so popular than me. I once thought like you. But thanks to Bonnie here I was saved from myself and she made me into a better person.
Bonnie (Pokemon): That's right Paula. You can use your awesome weather powers for good and help people instead of using your powers for evil. You can make a difference in helping the world.
Weather Vane: I don't know if I can.
Stormy Weather: Yes you can Paula. We'll have a strong talk with Misty when this is all over.
Sam the Omega Ranger: And we'll have a big reprimanding for her.
Zen: (Arnold Schwarzenegger accent) Indeed we will.
Mem: Yes we will.
Wally: Absolutely.
Weather Vane then broke down crying and Stormy Weather comforted her.
We had Massive, Mastermind and Cypher tied up together.
Jack Landors: Canine Cannon!
He pulled out a bone and the Canine Cannon formed.
Nico: Fire!
He fired an energy blast and it hit them and exploded!
KRABBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!
They were locked in containment cards and Eli banished Flotsam & Jetsam's spirits to the Warp.
Nico: Take that.
Nico picked them up and they saw that Weather Vane was helping us!
Mastermind: (from her card) Weather Vane, you traitor! I hope Chrysalis tears you apart on April 12th!
Danger Duck: Don't count on it.
Nico: Go fuck yourself to Hell bitch.
Jack was still helping me fight Optimatus.
Optimatus: Is that all your so called Battlizer has?
Jack Landors: I'm just getting warmed up! Battlizer, Sonic Mode!
Jack had his Battlizer in Sonic Mode and he had a Flaming Sword ready for action!
Me: Lets kill this fucking son of a fucking bitch!
Jack Landors: Yeah!
Me and Jack slashed him in an X formation.

Lincoln, Menat, Jessica, R. Mika, Toph, Hilda, Shantae, Entrapta, Perfuma, Frosta, Rainbow Dash, Gluko and Mai: FINAL SMASH: LEGENDARY LOONEY TUNE MAYHEM!
We fired powerful energy blasts and they formed into Looney Tune charaters and the blasts smashed down Optimatus and more.
Me: Now for the grand finale!
I pulled out a bracelet bomb and put it on Optimatus' arm.
Me: A little going away present for you to enjoy your trip to the Warp!
I put the bomb on him.
Me: This is a 500 megaton nuclear range bomb bracelet. When it goes beyond 500 feet, kiss your fucking ass goodbye!
I put the sensor on a bazooka rocket.
Me: ADIOS MUCHACHO!
I fired the bazooka and we got out of there fast! As the beep got louder!
Optimatus: NO! NO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!
KRABBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMM!
He and his ship were completely obliterated in an instant and banished to the Warp for all eternity and we powered down.
Nico: Good riddance to that fucker.
Lola: Yep.
Weather Vane: I guess I should say thanks for not killing me.
Spot: Relax. We won't kill you.
Plastique: And neither will Ace and his team.
Ace Bunny: Just make sure to behave yourself, ok?
Danger Duck: I still think Misty Breeze is hot!
Unicorn: So was Connie D'Amico before Quahog's destruction.
Selene: And yet, those two are jerks.
Me: They sure were. Coming on guys, before we go home lets give Misty Breeze a good talking too.
Nico: Good idea.
We went back to Earth and had a really thorough discussion with Misty Breeze. She was demoted to Janitor. We had Acmetropolis beamed to the 21st Century.
Ace Bunny: (To the viewers) This was an awesome adventure. Hope you all loved it as much as we have.
Me: I know I have.
Later back at the estate we were watching one of the most Gutwrenching movies ever known. It was 2004's Passion of The Christ. The reason is because it was Friday, April 2nd, 2021 and it was Good Friday, the Day Jesus made the ultimate sacrifice to forgive us for all our sins.
In the late hours of the night at the forested garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays while his disciples Saint Peter, James and John, the sons of Zebedee sleep. While he prays in seclusion, Satan appears to Jesus in an androgynous form, and tempts him, stating that no one can bear the burden that God asks of him: to suffer and die for humanity's sins. Jesus' sweat turns into blood and drips to the ground while a serpent emerges from Satan's guise. Jesus hears his disciples call for him, and rebukes Satan by crushing the snake's head.
Judas Iscariot, another of Jesus' disciples, having received a bribe of 30 pieces of silver, leads a group of temple guards to the forest and betrays Jesus' identity. As the guards arrest Jesus, a fight erupts wherein Peter draws his dagger and slashes the ear of Malchus, one of the guards and a servant of the high priest Caiaphas. Jesus heals Malchus' injury while reprimanding Peter. As the disciples flee, the guards secure Jesus, and beat him during the journey to the Sanhedrin.
John informs Mary, mother of Jesus, and Mary Magdalene of the arrest, while Peter follows Jesus and his captors. Magdalene begs a passing Roman patrol to intervene, but a temple guard assures them that she is insane. Caiaphas holds trial over the objection of some of the other priests, who are expelled from the court. False accusations and witnesses are brought against him. When asked by Caiaphas whether he is the Son of God, Jesus answers "I am". Caiaphas tears his robes in outrage and Jesus is condemned to death for blasphemy. Peter is confronted by the surrounding mob for being a follower of Jesus. After cursing at the mob during the third denial, Peter flees when he recalls Jesus's forewarning of his defense. A guilt-ridden Judas attempts to return the money he was paid in order to have Jesus freed, but is refused by the priests. Judas isolates himself and a group of children begin tormenting him and reveal that they are demons. Judas, full of grief, flees the city and hangs himself with a rope he took from a dead donkey.
Caiaphas brings Jesus before Pontius Pilate to be condemned to death. At the urging of his wife Claudia, who knows of Jesus' status as a man of God, and after questioning Jesus and finding no fault, Pilate transfers him to the court of Herod Antipas (as Jesus is from Nazareth, within Antipas' jurisdiction of Galilee). After Jesus is ridiculed at Herod's court and returned, Pilate offers the crowd the choice of chastising Jesus or releasing him. He attempts to have Jesus freed by the peoples' choice between Jesus and violent criminal Barabbas. The crowd demands Barabbas be freed and Jesus crucified. Attempting to appease the crowd, Pilate orders that Jesus be severely flogged. Jesus is then scourged, abused, and mocked by the Roman guards. They take him to a barn where they place a crown of thorns on his head and tease him saying "Hail, king of the Jews". A bleeding Jesus is presented before Pilate, but Caiaphas, with the crowds' encouragement, continues demanding that Jesus be crucified. Pilate washes his hands of the affair, and reluctantly orders Jesus' crucifixion. Satan observes Jesus' suffering with sadistic pleasure.
As Jesus carries a heavy wooden cross along the Via Dolorosa to Calvary, Saint Veronica, a woman, avoids the escort of soldiers and requests that Jesus wipe his face with her cloth, to which he consents. She offers Jesus a pot of water to drink but the guard hurls it away and dispels her. During the journey to Golgotha, Jesus is beaten by the guards until the unwilling Simon of Cyrene is forced into carrying the cross with him. At the end of their journey, with his mother Mary, Mary Magdalene, and others witnessing, Jesus is crucified.
Hanging from the cross, Jesus prays to God the Father asking forgiveness for the people who tormented him, and provides salvation to a penitent thief crucified beside him. Jesus surrenders his spirit to the Father and dies. A single droplet of rain falls from the sky to the ground, triggering an earthquake which destroys the temple and rips the veil covering the Holy of Holies in two. Satan screams in defeat from the depths of Hell. Jesus' body is taken down from the cross and entombed. Jesus rises from the dead and exits the tomb resurrected, with wound holes visible on his palms.
We were crying our eyes out at the very agony that Jesus went through as he was being crucified. It was horrible.
Me: (Crying) It's horrible!
Laney: (Crying) How can they do this!?
Lola: (Crying) It's not fair!
We were crying hard over the sheer brutality and more that he suffered because of it.
THE END
Another awesome chapter done.
Loonatics Unleashed was an awesome show and it was great! It was on from September 17, 2005 – May 5, 2007 and it was put on Hiatus for over 15 years now. What a rip! This is also a chapter for Good Friday. A gutwrenching day. NicoChan11, JediAvatarOfShinobi, Omegahatchiyak12, XP4Universe, Drako1234658 and ninjakingofhearts all gave me the ideas for this. Thanks guys. Next up is a journey that takes place 5,000 years ago into the dark ages of the Barbarian Times as we help Cyborg and his friend Sarasim take down the merciless and ruthless barbarian warlord Krall in the year 3,000 B.C.
See you all tomorrow.
