[Previously on My Little Pony: FiM Alternate Universe]

Sunset Shimmer: Princess Luna, we came as fast as we could.

Princess Luna: I need you to wield the Elements of Harmony once again and stop Sombra.

Sunset Shimmer: The Elements! They're gone!

Sombra: [laughter] Everypony has to play, or the game is over and I win.

Sugarcoat: Our friendship...over?

Sunset Shimmer: Who are you talking to?

Sugarcoat: Nopony! Nopony whatsoever.

Sunset Shimmer: What?

Sunset Shimmer: Lemon Zest! Are we glad to see you!

Lemon Zest: Why? Need a good laugh?

Sunset Shimmer: What is happening to my friends?

Sombra: Looks like we might be due for a big old storm of chaos. [laughter]

[theme song]

Sombra: [laughter] [demonic voice] Now, Equestria is in complete disharmony. [transforms to a grim reaper form]

Lemon Zest: And what are you laughing at!?

Sombra: Oh, you ponies are just the most fun I've had in aeons.

Lemon Zest: Well, quit it! You'd better think before you laugh at the Lem...on Zest!

Sour Sweet: Oh, yeah? Well ha, ha.

Lemon Zest: Quit it!

Sour Sweet: No. Ha, ha.

Lemon Zest: Quit it!

Sour Sweet: No. Ha ha-ha ha ha.

Sugarcoat: Uh... Sunny? This here diamond of yours? Sunset said we should split it six ways since we, uh, found it together.

Sunny Flare: HI-YAH! Try it, punk. He's mine. All mine! Ya! Ya! Ya!

Sunset Shimmer: Girls, why are you all acting like this?

Lemon Zest: Quit it! Stop it!

Sunset Shimmer: We need to stick together.

Sour Sweet: Ha, ha.

Sombra: [laughter] It's just too entertaining.

Sunset Shimmer: Stop it, Sombra. You're not playing fair.

Sombra: I'm not playing fair? Perhaps we haven't met. I'm Sombra, Equestria's grim reaper and the spirit of chaos and disharmony in the form of a unicorn. Hello?

Sunset Shimmer: How are we supposed to find the Elements of Harmony when you took away the labyrinth before we could get to the end?

Sombra: Oh, wait, did you...? [laughter] How funny! You thought the Elements were in the labyrinth?

Flashback Sombra: Twists and turns are my master plan. Then find the Elements back where you began.

Sombra: I never said they were in the labyrinth.

Sunset Shimmer: But...but...

Sombra: Keep trying, Sunset Shimmer. [mockingly] Maybe the magic of friendship can help you. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some chaos to wreak.

[thunder]

[falling rain]

Lemon Zest: Chocolate milk? I hate chocolate milk!

Sunset Shimmer: [grunt] Think, Sunset, think! "Find the Elements back where you began." Back where you began.

Sunny Flare: Don't touch my gem!

Sour Sweet: I'm touching your gem, Rarity. Ha, ha.

Lemon Zest: What 'chu laughin' at?

Sunset Shimmer: Ugh. I just want to go home... Wait a minute... Home! "Back where you began!" The Elements must be in... Ponyville! Come on, girls. I'm certain this is what Sombra's riddle really meant. If we get back to the library, I have a book that I just know can give us a clue. Ah!

Sour Sweet: Good boy, Feathers. Mama's so proud.

Sugarcoat: Wow, I can see so much better now. Whoa! I meant to do that.

Sunset Shimmer: Wah! Ahh! Whoa! Sombra's turned our dirt roads into soap!

Sombra: Beautiful, isn't it? This is the new and improved Ponyville, and these are only my first of changes. The grim reaper now rules, Sunset.

Lemon Zest: This may look like fun, but it's not.

Sunset Shimmer: Ugh.

Sombra: Picture it. The chaos capital of the world. Soon, the dead souls of everypony will roam around!

Sunset Shimmer: I can't picture anything. It's too dark. [splash]

Sombra: Well, wait a few minutes and you'll see it in the beautiful light of day. Or not.

Sunset Shimmer: Ponyville, the chaos capital of the world? Not if I have anything to say about it.

Sour Sweet: Don't worry, you won't. [laughter]

Sunset Shimmer: [groan]

Sunset Shimmer: [sigh] Okay, we're here. Everyone please, please, please just go inside, please?

Sugarcoat: I absolutely refuse.

Sour Sweet: With pleasure.

Lemon Zest: Gah! I hate libraries!

Sunset Shimmer: [moan]

Sunny Flare: [grunting]

Sunset Shimmer: Pleeeease, we gotta hurry!

Sunny Flare: Forget it, Sunset. I know what you're up to. The second I go in, you'll have your little minion Garble come and take Tom!

Sunset Shimmer: Tom?

Sunny Flare: Well, it's not going to work.

Sunset Shimmer: You're not going in without him, are you?

Sunny Flare: Mm-mm.

Sunset Shimmer: [grunting] Fine!

Garble: [snore]

[splash]

Garble: Ah! Brrr! What did you do that for, Sour Sweet?

Sour Sweet: 'Cause you just looked so peaceful.

Garble: I...uh...huh?

[crash]

Sunny Flare: Careful, Sunset! You'll ruin his beautiful finish.

Sunset Shimmer: Oh, for the love of...

Garble: Twilight, what's going on? Why does everybody look so...gray?

Sunset Shimmer: Don't ask. I need you to help me find something.

Sunny Flare: Hey, Sunset, what's soaking wet and clueless?

Sunset Shimmer: Garble, I've had just about enough– [splash]

Sour Sweet: Your face! [bang]

Garble: What's happened to everypony?

Sugarcoat: I guess you just bring out the worst in us, Garble.

Sunset Shimmer: Ugh. No time to explain. We've got to find the reference guide to the Elements of Harmony before somepony does something she'll regret!

Garble: The Elements of Harmony? Oh, I know exactly where that book is. Found it!

Sour Sweet: Hah!

Sunset Shimmer: Sour Sweet, you'd better give me that book!

Sour Sweet: [sing-song voice] Keep away!

Sunset Shimmer: Hey! Sugarcoat, give me that book!

Sugarcoat: I don't have any book.

Sunset Shimmer: Lemon! You guys! Stop it right now!

Garble: Ugh!

Sunny Flare: Mine!

Sunset Shimmer: Hey, do you even know what you just stole?

Sunny Flare: No, but if you want it, I want it!

Sunset Shimmer: [strained groan] GIVE ME THAT BOOK!

[smack]

Sunset Shimmer: Where is she? Where's Sunny?

Sugarcoat: Beats me.

Sunset Shimmer: Lies!

[cat yowl, fighting noises]

Sunset Shimmer: Get back! All of you! This is my book, and I'm going to READ IT! [gasp] The Elements!

Sunset Shimmer: The Elements! They were here all along!

Garble: This is great! Now you guys can defeat Sombra and put everything back to normal!

Sunset Shimmer: See, girls? We did it! We found the Elements of Harmony! Together!

Sugarcoat: [yawn]

Sunset Shimmer: You don't even care, do you?

All: No!

Sunset Shimmer: [sigh] I never thought it would happen. My friends... have turned into complete JERKS! Necklace! Necklace! Necklace! Necklace! And... big crown thingy! Come on, everypony, let's go!

Garble: But Sunset, aren't you missing somepony?

Sunset Shimmer: Nope. We've got the liar, the grump, the hoarder, and the brute. That just about covers it.

Garble: But what about Indigo Zap?

Sunset Shimmer: Congratulations, Garble, you're the new Indigo Zap! Now let's go!

Garble: [gasp] Me? B-b-but what if she finds out I've been impersonating her? [moan] That won't end well.

Sunset Shimmer: Too bad, you're Indigo Zap. Now let's go defeat Sombra so we don't ever have to talk to each other again!

All but Sour Sweet: Yeah! Woo-hoo!

Sour Sweet: [grunting]

Sunset Shimmer: Move! Look out, here comes Tom!

[crash]

[wraiths wailing]

Wraith Servitor 1: Well, somepony hast found the answer.

Wraith Servitor 2: That dost not mean thou hast solved this issue, Sunset.

Wraith Servitor 1: Well, master? How we couldeth give thee such time?

Sombra: Make sure thee both guard Equestria. Harmony is dead, the dead is risen.

Wraith Servitor 2: As thee wish, master Sombra. [wraiths disappeared]

Sombra: Well, well, well, I see you've found the Elements of Harmony. How terrifying!

Sunset Shimmer: Sombra! I've figured out your lame riddle. You're in for it now!

Sombra: I certainly am. You've clearly out-dueled me, and now it's time to meet my fate. I'm prepared to be defeated now, ladies. Fire when ready.

Sunset Shimmer: Formation, now!

All: Eh.

Sunset Shimmer: "Indigo Zap", get over here.

Spike: [gulp]

Sunset Shimmer: All right, let's get this over with.

Sunset Shimmer: What's going on?

Sugarcoat: Mine's workin'. There must be somethin' wrong with yours.

Lemon Zest: I HATE the Elements of Harmony! I better be burnin' these!

Sour Sweet: Hmph! Garbage.

Sunny Flare: MINE!

Garble: Sorry, Sunset. I guess I'd better get back upstairs and clean up the library. Good luck with all this– whoa!

Sour Sweer: [mockingly] Oops, sorry, Indigo Crash. [chuckle]

Sombra: Bravo, ponies, bravo! Congratulations! [clapping, random noises] Harmony in Equestria is officially dead. Sombra rules, Luna drools. The newly-crowned king of the dead and disharmony has ruled Equestria. Now, everypony. It's time to hail your new king of Equestria: King Sombra! [laughter] The dead and disharmony will rise to ashes!

Sunset Shimmer: [growl]

Lemon Zest: It's your fault it didn't work.

Sunset Shimmer: Who are you talking to?

Lemon Zest: Any of you! ALL OF YOU! I'm outta here!

Sugarcoat: I better go, too. I've got new better friends waiting for me at the farm.

Sour Sweet: Yeah! I'm sick of you losers.

Sunset Shimmer: FINE! Leave! See if I care! I don't need you guys either! With friends like you, who needs...enemies...?

[tear splashes]

[distorted music]

Sombra: [laughing] Oh, my stomach! Sunset, you've got to see what I just did.

Berryshine: [sneeze]

Sombra: It's priceless! [laughing] Come now, Sunset Shimmer. You've got to get into the spirit of things! After all, this is your new home. The dead will resurrect, the living will start its death.

Sunset Shimmer: Not anymore...

Sombra: YES! [triumphant laughter]

[door closes]

Sunset Shimmer: Pack your things, Garble, we're leaving.

Garble: [groan]

Sunset Shimmer: Don't ask where we're going, 'cause I don't know yet. Just not here.

Garble: Can't...move. The princess...has been sending these...since I came back upstairs. [belch] Make it stop!

Sunset Shimmer: These are all the letters I've written to the princess since I've lived in Ponyville. But why would she send them back?

Garble: [groan] [belch]

Sunset Shimmer: "Real friends don't care what your cover is."

"Friendship is a wondrous and powerful thing."

"And like the path cut through the orchard, there will always be a way through."

"The best thing to do is stay true to yourself."

"Everypony has a special magical connection with her friends. Maybe even before she's met them."

Sunset Shimmer: Garble! Garble, it's all so clear! Can't you see? Sombra's trying to distract us from what's important. He knows how powerful our friendships are, and he's trying to keep us from seeing it. Do you remember what I said the first day we arrived in Ponyville? I told you that the future of Equestria didn't rest on me making friends. But the opposite is true! The friendships I've made since I've been here are what saved Equestria from Daybreaker. And now they need to save it from Sombra!

Garble: [moaning]

Sunset Shimmer: You're right, Garble. I've got to fight for my friendships. For them. For me. For Equestria!

Garble: [moaning]

Sunset Shimmer: Oh...uh...why don't you just stay here and rest? I'll take care of the whole fighting for friendship thing myself.

Garble: [moaning] [belch]

Sugarcoat: And so I tried to defeat Sombra, but none of my so-called "friends" would lift a hoof to help me.

Sunset Shimmer: Sugarcoat, I'm here to fight for our friendship.

Sugarcoat: Oh, now you want to fight. Where you went when I was battlin' Sombra?

Sunset Shimmer: Snap out of it. This isn't you! You're not a liar.

Sugarcoat: Wh-what happened? Sunset! [sigh] I saw a vision of us feudin' and fightin'. I couldn't face the truth, so I started tellin' lies. Can you ever forgive me?

Sunset Shimmer: I already have. Come on! Sombra's minions have finally ruled Equestria already!

Sour Sweet: Oh no! Sunset, Sugarcoat I just had the worst dream! [screams] Equestria is already ruled by Sombra!

Sunny Flare: [off-screen] What do you think you're doing? Get away from my gem! Get away--!

Sunny Flare: [grunting] Let us never speak of this again.

Lemon Zest: [laughter] And I-I turned gray! [giggle] Can you believe it?!

Sour Sweet: Uh? She's not here.

Sunset Shimmer: Without Indigo Zap, we can't use the Elements. Sombra will finally rule Equestria.

Sugarcoat: She could be anywhere by now! We're never gonna find her.

Lemon Zest: Yeah, we will, 'cause she's right there!

Sunset Shimmer: Indigo Zap!

Indigo Zap: Hey, guys!

Sunset Shimmer: We've been looking everywhere for you!

Indigo Zap: That's nice.

Sunset Shimmer: Sombra's still on the loose! We need you to help us defeat him with your element, Loyalty!

Indigo Zap: Pfft. Loyalty, schmoyalty! Have you guys seen Ponyville? It's a disaster! I'm staying here in Cloudsdale where everything's awesome.

Sunny Flare: How in Equestria can she think that tiny patch of clouds is Cloudsdale?

Sugarcoat: The same way he got you to think that cheap rock was a bona fide diamond.

Sunny Flare: I thought we agreed never to speak of that again.

Sunset Shimmer: Time for Plan B.

Indigo Zap: [snoring]

Sunset Shimmer: [whispering] Okay, Sour Sweet, you grab Indigo Zap and hold her down. Sugarcoat will lower me down from this rope so I can cast the memory spell on her.

Sour Sweet: Got it!

Indigo Zap: [snoring]

Sour Sweet: Um...I'm just wondering if it's okay if I hold you down against your will for a little bit?

Sunset Shimmer: Ugh...

Indigo Zap: Nice try! Ponyville's your problem, not mine.

Sunset Shimmer: Come on, Sour Sweet, we've got to catch her. Hyah! Sugarcoat!

Sunny Flare and Lemon Zest: WHOA!

Sunny Flare: LEMON! You were supposed to secure the ROPE!

Lemon Zest: Oops.

Sugarcoat: Sunny, Lemon, hold on! Y'all are slowing her down!

Sunny Flare: Oh, Sour Sweet, would you be a dear and FLY FASTER, please?

Sour Sweet: [whimper/crying] I can't!

Sunset Shimmer: If you can't catch her, Sombra wins and rules!

Sour Sweet: That big... dumb... MEANIE!

Sunset Shimmer: Okay, Sugarcoat, last rope! Make it count!

Indigo Zap: [dramatic crying] Lemme go! I don't need you guys! Leave me alone!

Indigo Zap: Wh-what happened? [gasp] How's Ponyville? Where are the Elements?! Did we stop Sombra?

All: [cheering]

Sugarcoat: No! Sombra is starting to rule Equestria! We must defeat him before it happens!

Sunset Shimmer: Maybe it's a little early for a group hug.

Sombra: [laughter] Chaos is a wonderful, wonderful thing. King Sombra will rule Equestria like a plaything.

Sunset Shimmer: Not as wonderful as friendship.

Sombra: Oh, this again?

[explosion]

Sugarcoat: That's right. You couldn't break apart our friendship for long.

Sombra: Oh, Sugarcoat, don't lie to me. I'm the one who made you a liar. Will you ever learn? [gasp]

Sunset Shimmer: I'll tell you what we've learned, Sombra: we've learned that friendship isn't always easy, but there's no doubt it's worth fighting for!

Sombra: Ugh, gag. Fine, go ahead, try and use your little Elements. Friend me. Just make it quick. I'm missing some excellent chaos here. King Sombra is hungry for chaos and death.

Sunset Shimmer: All right, ladies, let's show him what friendship can do!

Lemon Zest: Wait-wait-wait! [slurp] [growl]

Sombta: Huh. What's this? No. NO!!!

[rocks cracking] [crash]

[trumpet fanfare]

Princess Luna: We are gathered here today to once again honor the heroism of these six friends who stood up to the villain Sombra and saved Equestria from eternal chaos.

Crowd: [cheering]
