Prologue: The Legion of Doom schemes[]
"Since you three were unable to retrieve my Bewitching Bell,"
"we need another source of great magical power to defeat Twilight and her friends."
When the boss is away the villains will play.
"He's gone!"
"I don't trust him."
"None of us do."
"Which is why double-crossing him..."
"...with his own bell..."
"...will be so satisfying."
"If we can figure out how to use it."
"Hmmm..."
Ring
It was worth a try.
"Twilight Sparkle may be the worst,"
"but she does know stuff."
"She once said the Archives in Canterlot has a restricted area."
"Celestia and Luna love to hoard information for themselves."
"If there's an answer, it's there."
"My triumphant return to Canterlot?"
"I like the sound of that."
"Oh, my gosh! Road trip!"
This is going to be fun.
The last Summer Sun Celebration[]
Last-minute Celebration preparations[]
The Legion sneaks into Canterlot[]
Operation: Bell Seeker is a go...
"Why are so many ponies up in the middle of the night?"
"It's that silly sun holiday."
"How many holidays do you ponies have?"
"No matter. Getting into the castle won't be a problem."
"Are you sure about that?"
You gotta admit, for an evil tyrant, at least he didn't crush or throw the bird.
"Oh. Those are new. But even so..."
Time to infiltrate.
Nope. Ain't gonna get in like that.
Wait....
Doors now have keycard scanning systems?
Unlock door please.
Door: Access Denied.
"Uh, do yours get glitchy too?" Nope....
"More medallions, more problems, am I right?"
The Legion and the Mane Six[]
Checkmate!
"They've increased security into the castle. This is going to be more challenging than I thought."
Well, now what?
Incoming. Get down...
"Increased security on a crowded holiday with Twilight and her friends bumbling around? This is impossible."
"Oh, no. This is perfect."
"We need a distraction...
and those ridiculous ponies just gave it to us."
"Now, do exactly as I tell you."
Yes...we like this plan....
The Earth ponies and Lord Tirek[]
Surprise stealth attack!
Thanks for your donation, earth pony.
Silly ponies, thinking the food's contaminated.
When no one was looking, Lord Tirek took forty pies. He took 40 pies. That's as many as four tens. And that's terrible.
Feather Flatterfly and Cozy Glow[]
"Golly. Sounds like you need some help."
Sweetness mode engaged.
"Who are you?"
"Somepony who's organized enough to handle the small stuff...
...so you can focus on the big picture!"
"This kind of weather has to be handled delicately."
"Good thing I'm here. I'll take care of everything."
What a coward...
Fire Flare and "Crackle Cosette"[]
"Very impressive"
"Thank you, unfortunately we got no room for anypony else"
"I'm sorry?"
"Crackle Cosette"
"And I don't want to partake in your silly little troupe"
"Pardon me?"
"I meant no offense"
"It's just a pity that unicorns have to waste their talents in something so inconsequential"
What did she say?
"Unicorns wield magic, we are the most powerful ponies in the land!"
"Didn't you ever think that you're destined for more than..."
"...performances?"
Maybe she's right. We Unicorns should be given better things to do!
Everything is coming together[]
Everything starts to go wrong[]
Discord...
"Don't look at me."
Things look more amazing for us around here.
"Best... road trip...
...ever!"
First objective complete. Time for Phase 2...
What's wrong with the Earth ponies?[]
Hey, didn't we arrest you months ago?
Well, i would like you to meet my old friend.
Did you miss me, guard?
Whuhh I gotta warn-
Oh, no you don't...
Thanks for your power...
..and your medallion.
We are now in. Time to find the archives.
Facing the storm / The Legion infiltrates[]
*Wait a minute, someone ain't supposed to be here!*
Rarity reasons with Fire Flare[]
*Hey, you seen the intruders?*
*Nope, nothing here. False alarm.*
Haha, foolish animal...
And now....it begins.
Everything continues to go wrong[]
"Oh, don't mind me, I'm just here for the chaos." (Illymation much?)
"Nopony ever listens to me!"
Twilight doesn't freak out[]
I can't wait!
Oh, come on! No freak out?
Fixing everything / A secret in the Archives[]
Luna must be like: Is all of this real, or are we just a television show?
Here it is...the book about the Bell.
Um, how does a simple book break a chain?
We got what we found...mission accomplished.
One holiday ends, another is born[]
And....Epic Lens Flare!
Ready for whatever comes next[]
Good. Because I'm sure there's gonna be plenty of things I'll need my best friends' help with."
Pony pile!
Aww...
"You know, it really does seem like you just might be ready for whatever comes next, your Majesty."
I hope you are, Miss Twi....
Epilogue: The Legion's next phase[]
"Sooooo did you find what you're looking for?"
Go away.
Once again, I've found success....
"....where you all find failure."
You think?
"I have located what I sought, and tomorrow I will set out to retrieve it. When I return, Equestria will finally be ours for the taking."
Actually, it will be US that takes Equestria, and not you.
"You knew you couldn't stay that buff."
"You had to return all the life force to those Earth ponies...
"so Grogar doesn't suspect anything." How did he do it, exactly?
"Our goal wasn't to destroy.....
It was to distract. And now we have exactly what we need."
"And no time to waste."
"We have to master the Bell before Grogar returns."
"We've managed to stay one step ahead of everypony so far."
"You know, it really was super easy..."
"...to get all those Earth ponies and Pegasi and unicorns..."
"to turn on each other."
"It was, wasn't it?"
"Now that is something to think about..." Uh oh! That means one thing!
The end is near....
