Season 1 Episode 9: The Seventh Element - Part 2
Recap: Last time, Toby's friend, Sophia Lawrence, became increasingly worried about his mysterious disappearance. While on her way home, she found the locket that sent Toby to Equestria and was transported to the same place, as well. While there, she reunites with Toby, meets the Mane Six and Spike, and finds a mysterious gem that granted her magical powers that helped her defeat a giant fire-breathing centipede. Thus, Sophia's adventures in Equestria have begun…
In Canterlot castle, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna are still discussing about Sophia's arrival to Equestria.
"So she found the locket and was sent here?" Luna inquired.
"Yes, sister. I also realised that there is another Element of Harmony hidden somewhere," Celestia answered.
"Another Element? But I thought there were only six!"
"There were six... until now,"
Meanwhile, the Mane Six, Spike, Toby, and Sophia are heading towards Ponyville. Sophia was amazed by the tranquillity of the town, unlike the noisy air back in New York, especially when there is traffic.
"Sophia, welcome to Ponyville," Twilight gestured to the town in front of them.
"Wow! I've never seen anything like this," Sophia said.
Heading towards town, Sophia noticed the ponies looking at them, mostly at Toby.
"Why are they looking at us?" she asked.
"Didn't you hear? Toby's been praised as the local hero," Spike said to her.
Approaching the library, the group headed inside. Twilight started rummaging through the shelves to find the book about the Elements of Harmony. The rest were just talking to each other.
"So... what do you guys do here in Ponyville?" Sophia asked them.
"Oh, I work at the Carousel Boutique. And every garment I made is fit for high-class ponies," Rarity said.
"I'm in charge of the Weather Patrol in Ponyville. It's a group of Pegasus ponies who are responsible in manipulating the weather here in town," Rainbow said.
"I help Mr. and Mrs. Cake in Sugarcube Corner. That's a bakery by the way, and everything there is super, duper sweet, you should so totally come!" Pinkie Pie said super fast and super excitedly.
Sophia blinked twice before answering in a confused tone, "Uh... okay?"
"Oh goody goody!" Pinkie replied giddliy as she jumped up and down.
"My family and I work at Sweet Apple Acres, our home. It's an apple orchard just a short walk from Ponyville," Applejack said.
"Cool. I didn't know you had jobs here," Sophia responded before turning to Fluttershy, who is looking away, "But what does Fluttershy do here in Ponyville?"
"Fluttershy works as an animal caretaker. Her cottage is outside of town," Rarity said.
"Found it!" Twilight exclaimed while levitating a book in her magic aura. She started skimming through the pages but wasn't able to find any information about the gem Sophia found.
"What?! I don't get it. There is supposed to be information about the gem you found, Sophia," Twilight said.
Dropping the subject, Sophia asked, "So, Applejack, where is Sweet Apple Acres located?"
"I'll show you," Applejack said as she, Toby, and Sophia headed outside the library.
Once they arrived at Sweet Apple Acres, Sophia was astounded by the lush apple trees that dot the entire orchard. She even noticed Big McIntosh who is applebucking and Granny Smith who sleeping on her rocking chair and waved at them.
"How do you harvest all there apples, Applejack?" Sophia asked.
"Easy, we do applebucking. Watch this," Applejack demonstrated to Sophia how she bucked an apple tree with her back hooves, causing several apples to fall to the ground.
"Ooh, let me try," Sophia chirped giddily. She kicked another tree with her right leg and after a few seconds all the apples fell down.
"Wow! How did you do that?" Applejack and Toby exclaimed in awe.
"I am a fifth degree black belt in karate. Also, the gem I found has enhanced my kicking skills," Sophia stated. For the rest of the afternoon, Sophia helped Toby, Applejack, and Big Mac in applebucking.
Suddenly, Sophia let out a small yawn. "Ah! I hadn't even thought about where I'm going to sleep tonight," she said. Sophia looked at the sky and noticed that nighttime is coming.
"Don't worry. I know just the place where you will stay for tonight," Toby said before escorting Sophia.
The two humans then headed to Toby's tree house.
"This is where you're going to stay tonight," Toby told Sophia.
"Really?!" Sophia asked in ecstasy.
"Yeah. I also added extra beds in case more people get transported here,"
"Thanks. But how I will get up there? It doesn't even have a ladder."
"Oh, just jump on this mattress,"
Sophia followed what Toby said. She opened the door and entered the room. "Hmm... simple, but not too shabby, eh?" she complimented.
"The girls and Spike gave me this as a reward for defeating a giant named Jobo. It is also my workplace called "Nick of Time Odd Jobs," Toby stated.
After dinner, Sophia then changed into her sleepwear (consisting of a pastel pink, shin-length nightgown underneath a white robe and pink slippers with white bows at the front) using her magic. She then headed to her bed which had a blue blanket with a flower and star pattern. She sat there and took out her sketchbook and pencils and started to draw. Some of the pages of her sketchbook are full of drawings like a flower bed, a fountain, even the house she and Toby lived in.
After several minutes, Sophia is finished with her drawing which is a drawing of the tree house with some trees in the background. She then placed her gem, scrapbook, and pencils on the nightstand, turned off the lights and tucked herself into bed.
The next day, Sophia woke up groggy and her hair was a complete mess. She then headed to the bathroom to wash her face, brush her teeth, and fix her hair. Upon exiting the bathroom, she then snapped her fingers, changing from her nightgown into her regular clothes. Suddenly, she felt her stomach rumble. She then headed to Golden Oaks Library to see Twilight, Toby, and Spike. Once she entered the library, she noticed the three of them eating breakfast which is pancakes and a bowl of fruit salad. Spike had gems on his own pancakes.
"Morning, Sophia," Toby greeted her.
"Care to join us?" Twilight asked.
"Sure," Sophia answered.
Sophia sat beside Twilight, got two pancakes and a fruit salad bowl, and started eating. "So tell me Twilight, what do you know about the Elements of Harmony?" she asked Twilight her.
"The Elements of Harmony are six legendary artifacts that represents the subjective aspects of harmony: Honesty, Laughter, Generosity, Loyalty, Kindness, and Magic. My friends and I have used them twice: during the time Princess Luna was Nightmare Moon and the time when Ponyville was under Discord's control," Twilight stated.
Suddenly, a crash is heard outside. Twilight, Spike, Toby, and Sophia headed outside and noticed a chimera rampaging through town. It had two heads: the one on the front was lion's head, the other on the side was a goat's head. Its body was that of a lion and its tail was actually a green serpent. It started to breath fire, causing everypony outside to run back inside for safety.
"Where did that chimera coming from?!" Sophia asked, shocked.
"Don't know, don't care!" Toby said before summoning his blue energy butterfly wings.
"Toby, wait. I'm coming with you," Sophia tried to convince Toby.
"No, you're not. Stay here," Toby insisted.
"But I can still fight here, you know,"
"Look, I appreciate your offer but you need to stay here. I don't want to you get hurt,"
"Ugh, fine!" Sophia finally gave in.
As Toby headed to fight the chimera, Sophia headed inside the library in exasperation. When she headed inside, she noticed five necklaces and a crown under a glass case. She realized that these are the Elements of Harmony. The crown is gold and has seven sapphire stones studded across the band and it has a magenta star-shaped gem embedded on the top. This is the Element of Magic. The necklaces all have gold wing-shaped bands and each also had a Harmony gem. The necklace on the lower right of the crown has a blue balloon-shaped gem which is the Element of Laughter. The necklace on the lower left of the crown has a red lightning bolt-shaped gem which is the Element of Loyalty. The necklace below the Element of Loyalty has an orange apple-shaped gem which is is the Element of Honesty. The necklace below the Element of Laughter has a purple diamond-shaped gem which is the Element of Generosity. In between the the Element of Generosity and the Element of Honesty is a necklace with a pink butterfly-shaped gem which is the Element of Kindness. Sophia pulled her gem from her pocket and noticed that it is glowing a faint yellow light. She then noticed the six Elements starting to glow, as well. Suddenly, the six Elements fired each a colorful beam to the gem Sophia was holding. When the beams hit the gem, the gem's glow starts to become intense. After a few seconds, the light from her gem becomes brighter and larger as it engulfs Sophia along with the rest of the library's interior, causing her to shield her eyes. The light was so bright that it can be seen by the ponies who live in Ponyville, especially Toby, Twilight, Spike, their friends, and the chimera.
When the light died down, the chimera took the advantage and swiped Toby with its front left paw, causing Toby to crash onto the roof of a nearby house.
"Toby!" Twilight and Spike cried.
As the chimera approached Toby, it starts to breath another stream of fire at him. Toby could do nothing else but shield his eyes and wait for his impending doom to arrive. But when the fire was about an inch away to Toby, a stream of multicolored flowers interfered with the fire blast and surprisingly, they didn't even burn. This surprised Toby and the onlookers who are watching from either the windows or the doorway.
"Hey, buster! Why don't you fight someone else?!" a voice called. Toby turned to that voice and saw it was... Sophia.
It was Sophia with a whole new look. Her hair is now let-down and dotted with various colored flowers. She is now wearing a dress with green shoulder straps in which the skirt is red and the bodice is white, has an orange pattern all over, and a large red rose fastened at the middle chest part. Sophia is now barefoot and is wearing green cuffs made out of fresh vines with three, small, red roses each around her ankles and white and orange cuffs on her upper arms. On her head is a flower headband made out of fresh green leaves and multicolored flowers while on her left wrist is a gold bracelet with four small, red, pearl rhinestones and a large amaranth, rose-shaped gem. She is even sitting on a giant floating flower that has a white center, pink petals, and green, smooth-edge leaves underneath.
Using her giant flower, she flew towards the chimera and continued firing flowers at it, causing the chimera to recoil in pain. Sophia looked at Toby and helped him get up. Then, Sophia continued firing flowers at the chimera's lion head as Toby flew to the chimera and punch it at the goat's head with his enlarged hands. The chimera then blew another fire stream at Toby but Sophia conjured a wall of vines at the chimera but the fire was massive it broke through the wall and cause Sophia to recoil, tip off her flower and fall to the ground. Toby then punched the chimera very hard. While on the ground, Sophia could only watch her friend fight the three-headed monster.
'If Toby keeps on doing this, he'll be finished. But I have faith in him so I'll give him more time,' she thought as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
Eventually, Sophia concentrated and her body starts to glow a bright yellow aura. She then fired a yellow blast made of pure energy surrounded by spiraling two blue smaller blasts at the chimera, weakening it. This gave Toby the chance to fire his blue energy blast at the chimera, causing it to scream in pain and disappear in a burst of flames. After the chimera was defeated, Toby panted heavily before collapsing, only to be caught by Sophia in her arms.
"Toby, are you okay?" Sophia asked, frantically. She then heard the ponies cheering and stomping their hooves in excitement and smiled that Toby is not the only one who saved the town but also her.
"Sophia! That was amazing!" Toby said to her in an excited tone.
"What happened, sport?!" Applejack asked.
"It's Sophia! She helped me defeat the chimera! She can even created an energy beam!" Toby said.
"Well, she is your first friend, Toby. She has made the wise decision to help you defeat that chimera," Twilight said.
"Indeed she has," a voice from behind said. Everypony turned and saw Princess Celestia and Princess Luna walking towards them.
"Princess Celestia! Princess Luna!" Twilight and Toby exclaimed surprised.
Everypony, especially Sophia, bowed at the sight the two royal figures. Princess Luna and Princess Celestia look at Sophia and approached her.
"So, this is the girl who found the locket and was brought here," Princess Celestia said.
"Yeah," Twilight said.
"I also realized that she, in fact, represents the hidden Element of Harmony," Princess Celestia said, referring to the bracelet Sophia was wearing.
"Wait, you knew she is the hidden Element of Harmony?" Twilight asked.
"Yes. My sister and I are the only ones who knew about it," Princess Luna stated, "Right after the six Elements of Harmony were found, only one remained undiscovered and that's the hidden element. It still remained a blur... until now,"
"But what about the pretty dress she's wearing?" Rarity asked.
"And the flower she was sitting on?" Fluttershy question.
"Plus the stream of flowers she fired at the chimera. Oh man that was so cool," Spike added.
"For some reason, it appears that this girl was given magical powers by the gem when she arrived here. And when her gem came across the six Elements of Harmony, her powers become stronger and it also gave her a new look. But unlike you Toby, her powers doesn't have any harmful side effects on her," Celestia stated.
"I understand. But first, let's celebrate our outrageous victory at Twilight's library" Toby said. Everyone then headed to Golden Oaks Library to celebrate with happiness marked on their faces. Unknown to any of them, a small butterfly then began to follow them.
Later, Toby, Sophia, Spike, the Mane Six, and the two princesses are celebrating the night away in Golden Oaks Library. There was food, music, streamers, and a banner that says "Welcome to Ponyville and Thank You for Defeating that Chimera, Sophia".
"Wow, Sophia! You were like 'Don't worry, Toby. I'll protect you' and then you were like 'AAAHHHH' and then... and then..." Pinkie chimed before she started hyperventilating.
"Can anyone please explain it to me in a calmer way?" Sophia asked the others.
"When you got yourself in between Toby and the chimera, you created a wall of vines to block out the chimera's fire," Spike stated.
"Also, you conjured up a yellow energy beam with two blue smaller beams spiraling around it at the chimera," Applejack added.
"Well I think that was the - ," Sophia said before Princess Celestia interrupted her.
"- wisest thing you have ever done," Princess Celestia continued Sophia's sentence.
"Wait, wisest thing I've ever done?" Sophia echoed the last words Celestia said.
"Yes. You decided to help Toby because you knew he wouldn't defeat the chimera all alone. And that's what made you represent the hidden Element of Harmony: Wisdom," Princess Celestia said.
"Oh. Now I understand. Thank you, your Highness," Sophia bowed.
Meanwhile in the badlands of Equestria, Tirek is watching the whole thing from his viewing globe.
"I see you found the hidden element there, girl. But you haven't seen the last of me," Tirek said before cackling maniacally as usual.
Author's Note: Sorry about the long wait. For the past few months, I've been busy with my schoolwork and recently suffered from writer's block for most of my summer. Thanks to seniorcopycat, I found the perfect Element of Harmony Sophia represents: Wisdom. Coincidentally, her name means 'wisdom'. Also, Sophia's first Sibyl form is inspired from one of my favorite Brave Frontier units: Paula (1st form). Please leave your reviews but NO flames, curses, or negative comments like earlier.
