Chapter 16

Just like in Ponyville, all the Crystal Ponies came rushing out of their house just before the wormhole sucked it up into the sky and continued to cause their home to crack up like a giant piece of glass.

They all screamed and ran around in horror while the girls, their rulers and the six humans that unintentionally caused it stood there frozen in shock and horror.

"This is super-duper bad!" Darla exclaimed.

"I hate to say it, but I have to agree with the kid on this one!" Paco remarked, looking just as scared as the others were.

"Tommy… is this…" Mary began.

"No! It's not over! We can still fix this!" Tommy said.

"How!?" Felix exclaimed.

"Twilight said that this thing can project positive feelings like happiness and love, so maybe if we all think of the happiest moment that ever happened to us, something will happen!" Tommy said.

"Think that will really work?" Paco inquired.

"From my calculations it seems that we do not have much choice in the matter." Edwin stated.

"Then let's do it! Concentrate everyone! Concentrate hard!" Mary told them all. They all nod and began to do so.

Red sparks fly as each child began to concentrate and think of a positive memory, everypony that was watching each saw a ring of energy circling their feet. It spread outward slightly while the Crystal Heart's pure power surged through their bodies, snapping them stiff as boards and outlining them in white light.

The ponies all saw this and stare at the kids in shock as this process continued to affect them.

"What's going on?" Rainbow Dash questioned, loudly. "What's happening to them?"

"I don't know!" Twilight Sparkle cried.

"It's the Crystal Heart! They're channelling all their positive emotions into it!" Princess Cadance realized. "They're trying to close the rift!"

"Could that actually work?" Shining Armor asked.

"I don't know… it's never been used like that before." Princess Cadance admitted. "But it's worth a shot. Otherwise…"

"Otherwise all of Equestria will be sucked up!" Rarity proclaimed.

"Oh no…!" Fluttershy gasped.

"Come on… come on…" Tommy repeated as he and the others continued to channel their positive energy into the Crystal, which made it glow brighter and brighter.

"I think it's working!" Felix cried.

"What's going on!?" Paco hollered.

Suddenly the crystal heart shot a beam of white light at the dark hole and slammed into it. It continued to pulsate and divert its energies towards it and as it did so the intense winds began to slow down around them.

"Hey… what's happening?" Rainbow asked.

"It's working! They're closing it!" Twilight Sparkle realized.

"Amazing!" Fluttershy said.

"Awesome!" Pinkie added. "We're not gonna die!"

"Oh, thank heavens!" Rarity expressed, wiping her brow.

"Let's all not count are chickens just yet, and hope these kids can do this!" Rainbow Dash told them, Fluttershy nodded in agreement.

"That's it… just a little more…" Tommy said as the portal continued to shrink slowly.

"Ugh… it's not enough! It's not enough power!" Mary cried.

"Ok… anybody can help us now!" Felix added.

"Quick! Everypony! Grab the crystal heart and project your own thoughts and feelings into it! Now!" Twilight cried.

"You got it!" They all nodded as they all raced over to the Crystal Heart. They all surrounded it and the kids and put their hooves forward one by one.

"Out of the way kids, we got a world to save!" Rainbow Dash said as she put her hoof forward. She was then surprised when Darla grabbed her other hoof and smiled.

"Thank you," she said, which made RD smile in response.

"Ok, everypony pour it in!" The blue Pegasus yelled as their bodies also glowed with a colorful aura which slowly began to get sucked into the heart which strengthened the beam it was shooting towards the black hole.

"It's working!" Cadance cried.

"That's it… just a little more…" Twilight Sparkle said, slowly.

The hole in the sky began to shrink even more until finally it became a little blip in the sky that eventually vanished, causing everything and everypony it was sucking up to quickly drop and crash into the ground below. Ponies braced themselves and took cover as several large objects hit the ground hard and fast, crushing themselves to pieces, but when it was all over they all began to look quite relieved, just like the ones who were still holding it. They then gasp in surprise when they are finally able to free themselves from the grip of the Crystal Heart, which continued to spin I place

"So… is it over?" Paco asked.

"Yeah… I think it is!" Edwin realized.

"It's over… It's over!" Tommy declared.

"Yes!" Felix cheered.

"Wha-hoo!" Marry cheered.

"Not quite."

The kids all turn towards the Princess of Love, who was the one who spoke up, looking surprised and confused.

"What do you mean 'not quite'?" Paco asked. "The giant black hole has just been clogged up, what else is wrong?"

"Well… there's that." Cadance stated, gesturing to up head of them. They all looked up ahead and their eyes instantly widen when they see the rapidly approaching crack in the earth heading their way.

"Oh…" Paco spat out.

"Crud! The planet is still set to blow up!" Felix realized.

"And thanks to that Black Hole we may have just sped up the countdown…" Edwin deduced.

"Oops…" Darla squeaked.

"So how much time do we have now?" Mary asked, in a panicked tone.

"Um… two hours." Twilight said, fearfully. Paco then let out a high pitched, girlish scream.

"Stop screaming!" Rainbow cried.

"Hey, she's screaming!" Paco pointed out, gesturing to the now screaming Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy! Stop screaming like that kid!" Rainbow told her, annoyed.

"Sorry…" she said.

"Oh… what are we gonna do!?" Darla squealed.

"What we came her to do!" Twilight declared. She turned to her friends. "Girls! Get your elements ready!"

"Right!" They cried as Twilight levitated their necklaces over to them and put on her crown.

"Ok, let's do this guys!" Twilight Sparkle said.

"Right!" They all cried, as they positioned themselves around the Crystal Heart and prepared to combined it's magic with the magic of their elements.

"Wait till you see this kids! It's super, duper cool!" Pinkie Pie told them, excitedly.

"Great…" Paco said, a bit nervously.

"Ok, everyone on my mark! Three… two… one… GO!" Twilight cried as their elements glowed brightly and caused each of them to float into the air, much to the amazement of the children.

"Whoa! Now this is what I call a light show!" Felix remarked.

"Yeah, it is super, duper cool!" Darla added.

"But will it work? That is the question." Edwin said.

"Let's hope." Tommy stated.

"Exactly." Mary nodded.

The elements then began to fire little beams of energy that then connected to the glowing and still spinning Crystal Heart, causes it glow brightly and flashed a light at them that nearly blinded the kids.

"Gah! That's bright!" Paco grimaced.

"Is it working?" Darla questioned.

"We don't know… I think so…" Cadance said.

"It better." Shining stated. "We're running out of time as it is…"

"Yes… I know." Cadance nodded.

The light from the Crystal Heart then created a little hole out of nowhere, it was like the wormhole from before only much more stable and small looking.

"Hey! It is working!" Darla realized.

"Yeah!" Tommy said, his eyes widening with joy. "We're gonna be able to go home!"

"Hold on everyone." Edwin told them. "Something isn't right…"

"What? What do you mean?" Mary asked her older adopted brother, confused.

Just then, the portal in front of them began to sparkle and crack for some reason, it then slowly became smaller and smaller.

"Is that supposed to happen?" Paco questioned as the portal began to stretch and twist now, everypony else stared at it in fear and confused.

"Oh no…" Cadance breathed.

"What?" Shining Armor asked. "What's wrong?"

"The portal… it's unstable!" Cadance realized.

"Unstable? How?" Shining questioned, surprised.

"It's not balanced! The energy is not balanced!" Twilight cried. "We need more chaos energy into order to keep it stable!"

"Chaos energy?" Tommy echoed.

"Of course, Order and Chaos need to be balanced for the universe to run smoothly." Edwin realized. "It what keeps everything in harmony."

"So we need something chaotic to keep the portal balanced?" Mary questioned.

"Correct." Edwin corrected.

"Well what's something chaotic?" Darla wondered. Then it hit Tommy like a snowball to the face.

"I got it! Us!" Tommy cried.

"What?" Paco asked, confused.

"Us! We're chaotic objects in this world! Hence why everything is breaking apart!" Tommy pointed out.

"So if we can use the chaotic energies in ourselves…" Felix began.

"It should balance and stabilize the portal!" Edwin finished. "Brilliant!"

"Alright, let's get over there and tell the others!" Tommy told them as they began to rush over to Twi and the others, who were still emitting waves of beams of energy from their elements, before Cadance or Armor could stop them.

"No, kids, wait!" Cadance cried out.

Tommy then ran up to Twilight. "Twilight! We know a way to stabilize the portal!" he said, loudly.

Twilight, groaned, the constant energy flow was beginning to strain her but she was able to turn her head to Tommy. "You do…?" she asked.

"Yes, we need to harness the chaos energy inside us and use it on the portal but we need a method for doing so." Edwin added.

"That… that might actually work!" Twilight realized.

"There's doubt?' Paco asked.

"Well… you need to say a spell word to really do something like that…" The unicorn told them. "Any kind of word will do, just as long as it is magical…"

"So we just need a magic word?" Tommy echoed. He turned to the others. "Anyone know any magic words besides 'please' and 'thank you'?"

The kids all begin to think and ponder what they should say, but so far none of them had anything. Of course, until Paco finally snapped his fingers.

"I got it!" he cried as he began to whisper the magic word into each of their ears.

"Ooh! That'll work!" Tommy smiled.

"It better." Edwin voiced.

"Ok, let's do it!" Felix said as he and the others began to make their way to the pony gang as fast as they could, course with his crutches it was a bit slower for Felix but he manages just fine. Eventually they managed to stand close to each of the Mane Six.

"So… you thought of a word?" Twilight asked, her voice now sounded like she was becoming exhausted.

"Oh yeah!" Paco nodded.

"Then get ready to say it! Now!" Applejack told them, loudly.

"Remember guys, in the world friendship is magic, which mean we also have magic, just believe!" Tommy told them all.

"I believe!" Mary cried.

"I believe!" Paco added.

"I believe!" Darla yelled.

"I too believe!" Edwin nodded.

"I believe!" Felix smiled.

"And I believe!" Tommy finished as they all joined hands; black sparks fly when each contact was made, and a ring of energy circled their feet. It spread outward slightly while what appeared to be chaotic energy surged through their bodies

"WE BELIVE IN MAGIC! SHAZAM!" They all screamed out.

A giant blast of what appeared to be chaotic magic then blasted the portal in front of them, intertwining with the harmonious magic of the elements of harmony. A circle of white light opened up and then tuned black before creating a large flash of light just before the crumbling ground could reached them. The light blinded them all and everything went white.
