Chapter Five: The Crown/Battle/John vs. Alex

Twilight won the crown, and everything is going fine...until... "THEY'VE GOT SPIKE!" They ran through the hallways and found Sunset Shimmer who said, "That's close enough," Twilight gasped at what she saw. Sunset was holding a mallet...and was going to smash the portal, a portal which will help Twilight return home. Twilight misunderstood saying, "Don't hurt Spike." Sunset smiling said, "Oh, I wouldn't dream of it...I'm not a monster Twilight. Let the dog go Snips and Snails." Snails glanced at Snips, and they both shrugged setting down Spike. "You don't belong here," Sunset continued. "Give me the crown and you can go back to Equestria, tonight...or keep it, AND NEVER GO HOME! Tick Tock Twilight, we haven't got all night, the portal will close by itself in less than an hour...the choice is yours." Twilight thought and Alex said, "Sunset, you can't win this!" "I already have," Sunset responded smiling, then- "No," Twilight said to Sunset. Sunset angrily shouted, "WHAT!? EQUESTRIA, ALL YOUR FRIENDS! LOST TO YOU, FOREVER...DON'T YOU SEE WHAT I'M ABOUT TO DO!?" Twilight taking one step said, "Yes, but I've also seen what you've been able to do without magic! Equestria will find a way to survive without my element of harmony! This place might not, if I allow it to fall into your hands, go ahead! Destroy the portal! You are not getting this crown."

Sunset was about to say something when she remembered her boss, she smiled and said, "It's time John." Then the hooded man unveiled his hood revealing to look exactly like Alex who said, "John, I should have-" but John used magic and gave the crown to Sunset Shimmer who put it on. Sunset Shimmer then saw a whole lot of black go around her, it was black magic. Eddy, who was running with the Ed's, looked and saw the evil which was now levitating. The 6 girls, including Snips and Snails shielded their eyes...and Eddy saying, "You've gotta be kidding me," was blown back to Ed. And Ed held on. After a terrifying transformation, Sunset Shimmer became a demon like creature, but pink. Sunset with her evil wings flown and to the other high school kids saying, "I've had to jump through so many hoops tonight, just to get my hands on this crown-" now she was walking towards the door "-When it really should have been MINE all along!" She growled, but smiling now saying, "But let's let bygones, be bygones." And Sunset hypnotized the other kids. Twilight ran towards Sunset who said, "Spoiler alert! I was bluffing when I said, 'I was going to destroy the portal.' I don't want to rule this pathetic little high school...I want Equestria, and with my own little teenage army! I'm going to get it."

Twilight saw Flash, now zombified and willing to obey Sunset. Twilight had a look on despair, but she said, "No, you won't!" Twilight's friends went to her aid and Sunset laughing said, "The gang really is back together again!" Sunset now using magic fire said, "Now step aside, Twilight has already foiled my plans one too many times already. She needs to be dealt with!" and she threw the flame ball at them! Alex saw the smoke around them and cried, Eddy, who was a jerk was on his knees saying, "Rainbow Dash?" Double D saying, "Fluttershy." And Ed who would usually use a pun said, "Pinkie Pie?" And the Ed's cried to, while Sunset just laughed at her own vile handy work. Sunset now seeing a purple force field yelled "WHAT!?" but because the others survived. Twilight smiling that her friends now are more like her Ponyville friends said, "The magic contained in my element was able to unite with those who helped create it!" The magic in the beam went to the girls who were now floating. As they transformed Twilight listed the attributes of the friends. For Applejack she said, "Honesty." For Fluttershy "Kindness," For Pinkie Pie, "Laughter." For Rarity, "Generosity," for Rainbow Dash, "Loyalty." And for Twilight herself- "Magic." Then Twilight continued, "Together with the crown, they make a power greater then you could ever imagine...but it is a power you don't have the ability to control...the crown may be upon your head Sunset shimmer but you can't wield it, because you don't have the power..." Then everyone spoke at once, including Alex, and the Ed's, "The power of Friendship." Sunset Shimmer was defeated and Alex's twin came out of no where.

Alex grabbed a sword and fought with John. In the End John escaped, but got hit by a train, his last words "Curse you!" as he is driven off to prison. "But won't he escape?" Pinkie Pie asked. "No," Alex responded, "It's a wizards prison, all wands or staffs, and such are confiscated. Twilight noticed the time and went through the portal...and the Ed's followed. Alex smiling said, "The chosen four..." Applejack from this world asked, "Chosen Four?" "Yes, they are the ones who can defeat an evil far greater than Sunset Shimmer, or John. "Who?" they all asked. "The one who must be defeated is..." but the Ed's who were spying didn't get to hear the rest as Twilight dragged them in the portal, which brought them to Equestria.
