King Sombra's attack[]
The Crystal Empire is being surrounded by King Sombra.
The force field's down. Time to make an entrance!
Nopony's watching.
Cadance?
She kind of... passed out.
Help her, Shining Armor.
"I'M AWAKE!!"
So tired...
...but I still have to continue with my duty.
Here it comes.
The force field is being revived.
King Sombra is not liking it.
Desperately trying to get in.
Sombra loses part of his horn. This might not end well.
OW!
A piece of red horn in the ground.
The empire, getting surrounded.
That's not good.
Got to stay strong.
It really takes much energy to keep the force field up.
I got you, sweetie.
It's all going to be okay.
"I'll retrieve the heart".
"Let's do this".
Twilight on her way to find the Crystal Heart.
Rainbow Dash flies after Twilight.
Rainbow's still flying after her.
Now they're heading down the stairs.
Rainbow keeps talking to Twilight.
Twilight looks a little confused.
"The Crystal ponies must not find out the heart is fake."
Still talking to each other.
Hmm, this heart won't fool anypony.
Ehhhhh....
Nothing to see here...
Applejack is going to have a hard time preventing other ponies from looking at the "Crystal" Heart.
Rainbow, you're going to be assigned a task.
Keep the Crystal ponies in a good mood.
"Got it"
...and Rainbow flies off.
Twilight looks up at her brother.
Stay strong, Cadance.
This is not a good sign.
Delivering the news[]
A hoop around a Crystal. Is this some sort of game?
Eeyup, it is. Seems enjoyable.
Apparently it is for the Crystal ponies
Hmm... it's...
...Delicious! I love it!
"...yay..."
Good job Fluttershy.
A pony is wearing a hat.
Crystal ponies at Rarity's booth.
Rarity, the master of weaving with straw.
Good job Rarity.
Behold the perfect basket.
Rarity knows how to make ponies happy.
All the ponies gather around Rarity
Something wrong Spike?
Spike and Rarity look at each other.
Rarity & Spike enjoying good progress.
Rarity seems to be happy with her success.
Rainbow whispers Rarity something.
The facial expression does not mean anything good.
Shhhh...
Everypony's watching you for signs...
What are you looking at Rainbow?
A quick escape, sneaky.
Uh...I just saved a bunch of money on insurance by switching to Draco?
Little Spike will sure love face painting.
That's one tight hug.
Ponies are happy, it must remain that way.
What's happening here?
She passes on the news to Spike.
As expected Spike does not like them as well.
Gotta run.
Where is he heading?
Umm...
He's Draco.
That went pretty well.
Where's the Crystal Heart?![]
Twilight thinks hard all the time.
"Who wants a flugelhorn?"
"I want a flugelhorn!"
Not asking you Pinkie!
"Who else wants a flugelhorn?"
"I want a flugelhorn!"
After some heavy thinking...
...finally...
...she realizes...
...that the Crystal Heart might be in the castle.
Here comes Spike to join her in her quest for the missing Crystal Heart.
"I'm coming with you."
"You can't."
"I have to retrieve the crystal heart by myself."
Spike would like to come along.
"Not a claw, Spike."
Trust me Spike.
And I depart to full speed.
Careful Spike, hold on tight.
"Where are we going exactly?"
The crystal ponies.
The castle
Twilight, is sure she knows where the Crystal Heart really is.
Press on, Twilight.
Hang on Spike.
Twilight running up the stairs with Spike on her back.
Twilight quick question expression.
Twilight and Spike, going into the castle.
Trying to keep the Crystal Ponies happy[]
Nothing to see here.
Suddenly, Rainbow Dash.
Suspicious much, Rainbow?
Head turn to the left!
I'll keep you safe, don't you worry.
A startling landing indeed.
Nothing to see here.
Nope nothing at all.
A crystal pony, minding his own business.
"What are you looking at?"
What?
But, I didn't mean to cause any trouble I'll just go.
"That's what I thought!"
What the-?!
Whispering in Dash's ear.
Making sure nopony can hear her.
"We're supposed to act like nothing's wrong".
"Exactly."
I don't see any trouble!
Fear me, for I am Rainbow Dash!!
Crystal ponies, fear Rainbow Dash.
Crystal ponies, running away.
What, whose hoof is this?
"What I mean is..."
"Let me keep the crystal ponies away from the fake heart"
Seeing my awesomeness
Strut and pose.
Pretty good mood
I'm the Element of Honesty. I'll stay here and lie to everypony...
Talk about a surprise.
Come on, Knight Fluttershy.
It's showtime.
How are y'all feelin'?
Havin' a good time?
The best I've had in over a thousand years!
Well, that's good!
Gotta renew that spirit of love and unity if you're gonna power up that Crystal Heart, right?
I sure would like to see it before the ceremony.
It's been such a long time.
Oh, I hear ya.
Gettin' a little toasty out here.
Bet you'd like to cool off with a little Crystal Empire nectar!
Ponies are so easily distracted by beverages.
Oh no!
Crystal pony about to see the fake crystal heart.
Applejack stops the crystal pony from seeing the fake crystal heart
Uh oh, somepony's coming.
"I hear there's a joustin' match about to start!"
"You don't wanna miss that!"
Have a good day now, ya hear?
Phew...
"Come on, Twilight..."
"...these crystal ponies are more curious than a cat!"
In the castle/A secret passage[]
Well, it's not under here
Ughr!
It's gotta be here somewhere
Is it under the rug?
Of course she puts them back in the exact same spots.
That smile
Hmm, there's something familiar about that big gem in the middle.
Celestia Uses Dark Magic
Light Bulb!
Did you find it?
Oh adorable Twilight.
Twilight is MegaMare
Now Twilight can use dark magic!? What is Equestria coming too?
The Staircase of Secrets
That was a little trick Celestia taught me
That's quite a long way down.
You stay here
If you insist
I can't even tell how far down this goes.
This gate, it's too colorful...
I can fix that...
I didn't know I could levitate myself
Alright door, I've got you now.
What the, where did it go?
Ouch, that MUST have hurt
Evil Twilight Sparkle.
Twilight's worst fear[]
This seems oddly familiar...
"What are you doing here?"
"I don't know!"
"I opened the door and–"
"And now you must go."
"Go where?"
"Doesn't matter to me."
"You failed the test, Twilight!"
Wh... what!?
Both of Celestia's eyes are visible
An attempt at comfort?
No. Of course not.
Frankly my student, I don't give a darn
The window in Twilight's illusion, depicting her defeat by King Sombra.
Twilight under the door's hypnosis
"TWILIGHT!!!"
"Shatter kyoka suigetsu!"
What happened?
"King Sombra's dark magic."
"A doorway that leads to your worst fear."
"We were home."
"You told me you didn't need me anymore."
"You were sending me away."
"A fear that will never come to pass."
"I'm never gonna send you away."
"And I'm not gonna fail my test!"
That's many flights of stairs...
Jousting for entertainment[]
Cadance looks tired.
Rainbow Dash showing off her pride.
I AM READY!
The Crystal Ponies, ready to watch some jousting.
I don't wanna go through with this...
We need a distraction!
Oh! There's our cue!
Go Time!
*Meep*
Full Speed!
Oh...MY.
She's outta here!
Berryshine enjoying the spectacle.
Jousted.
"Isn't there somepony else?"
Please don't make me do that again. I've had enough jousting for one day.
"But not too easy."
"I've got a reputation to maintain!"
Finding the heart[]
"What if this is just more of his magic?"
"He makes a door that leads to your worst nightmare. Why not a staircase that goes on forever?"
Idea!
"Uh..."
"This isn't the Crystal Heart."
"The real one is-"
"On its way!"
"I was going to say..."
"..."being polished"..."
"...to buy us some more time?"
"Oops."
Ooh! This must be what being Pinkie Pie feels like!
What's up with that smile?
The crystal heart
Sombra sees the heart
Anyone else reminded of the 3rd Pokémon movie?
Oh, the irony! More like one terrible visual pun.
Twilight is scared...
...now Spike is scared?
"You have to be the one to bring the Crystal Heart to the Faire."
Me???
You have to save the day Spike!
Defeating King Sombra[]
"The real Crystal Heart will be here any second!"
"I don't know if they believe you..."
"Don't know if believe me..."
No more magic.
He's back! I can't take it!
K-king Sombra!
Look upon me, you miserable slaves, and DESPAIR!
"My crystal slaves."
"SPIKEY-WIKEY!!"
Can't look!
A spark of hope in Princess Cadance's eyes.
Princess Cadance with her wings spread out.
King Sombra's body has returned...
...and he's happy about that.
Oh no! Is there any hope for Spike?
Uuuhh?
Looks like somepony's been taking lessons from Mr. Incredible.
The Crystal Heart and Spike are saved!
"The Crystal Heart has returned."
"Use the light and love within you to ensure that King Sombra does not."
The Crystal Heart back to where it belongs.
Not sure of what is going on.
"What?"
The Magic is Gathering!
Victory is at hand!
Time for sparkle!
Princess Cadance and Spike, they look amazing.
They look shiny.
Crystal Twilight
King Sombra, we hardly knew ye. (By the way, should we worry about that horn?)
Crystal rainboom!
It is done.
The Crystal Empire is finally free.
Indeed, Celestia.
No more snow
Shining Armor's eyes !!!!!
Relax Spike, you're a hero!
Good job Spike.
How relieved Twilight is.
Leaving the Crystal Empire[]
"I do so wish it was permanent." (We all do, Rarity.)
"But good things are better when they're a rarity." (Good one, Applejack)
...I'm starting to wonder if that all the focus I'm getting this season is supposed to compensate for something
"You gotta stop saving my rump like this. It's starting to get embarrassing."
"It's just a test. Maybe she'll let you retake it."
Shining Armor, that's not helping.
Twilight passes[]
"Twilight, as I understand it, Spike brought Princess Cadance the Crystal Heart..."
"...because you weren't sure how quickly you could find a way to escape the tower."
" You weren't willing to risk the future of the citizens of the Crystal Empire in an effort to guarantee your own."
"Far better that I have a student..."
"...who understands the meaning of self-sacrifice than one who only looks out for her own best interests."
"Does this mean...?"
And now Spike has his own stained glass window and he's looking pretty awesome.
"She's totally gonna lose it!"
"Keep it together, buddy... Gotta stay strong..."
"For Twilight...!"
"I PASSED!"
The Success Song[]
Twilight's friends proud of her.
"You were prepared to do your best."
Those wide eyes.
"Had what it takes to pass the test."
"All those doubts..."
"...you can dismiss."
"Turns out you were..."
"Prepared for this!"
"You clearly have..."
"...just what it takes."
"To pass a test..."
"With such high stakes!"
"We knew for sure..."
"...you would prevail."
"Since when does Twilight Sparkle ever fail?"
"All those doubts..."
"...that you can dismiss."
"Trust yourself..."
"...and you cannot..."
"...miss."
"Turns out you were..."
"Turns out..."
""
"Turns out you were..."
"Turns out I was..."
"Turns out you were prepared..."
"...for..."
"...THIIIIIIIIIIIS!"
It turns out that this book plays a key role in Magical Mystery Cure.
"Yeah, I knew everything was going to be fine."
