Golden Paladin teleported himself and the others directly to the Light Kingdom. Arriving to the throne room, they found Heartebat, Melody and Leaf Mane with Mirror Coat and Luna.

"Sister!" Luna exclaimed, seeing Celestia, and went to her to hug her.

"What happened?" Leaf Mane asked. "Mirror Coat and Princess Luna told us that the Queen of Hearts and Fire Punch had conquered Canterlot."

"Unfortunately, yes" Golden Paladin replied. "And, unfortunately, we couldn't stop it."

"How?" Melody asked. "Purple Smoke..."

"The Queen of Hearts stole his heart" Twilight said.

"What?!" Melody asked.

"But she couldn't steal Purple Smoke’s heart" Leaf Mane said.

Mirror Coat was going to answer that, but it was Heartbeat who did, saying:

"Not if he's trying to steal another’s heart, which could allow the Queen of Hearts to do the same, since Purple Smoke couldn't turn up in smoke if he had to steal a heart."

"What she said" Mirror Coat said.

"And Ah think that's our fault" Applejack said. "If Fire Punch had not captur’d us."

"Yes, the Queen of Hearts would have nothing to threaten him" Rainbow Dash said.

Twilight's friends made a crestfallen air and the Princess of the Light Kingdom said:

"Girls, you don’t have to blame yourselves. If it wasn't you, the Queen of Hearts would have found others to use as a shield."

"Twilight’s right" Celestia said. "The Queen of Hearts is one of the most treacherous villains that we ever deal with.

"She is even more dangerous than the other villains that we faced already, including the Sirens and Arbor" Luna added. "Not to mention, she's unpredictable."

"Yes, but I think there’s a reason for her to want Purple Smoke under her control" Golden Paladin said.

"What, aside from the fact that she want to humiliate him and show her superiority as payback for what Purple Smoke did to her?" Heartbeat asked. "Not talking about the fact that she now controls one of the Generals of Order, which are the greatest servers of the Lord of Order?"

"Yes" Golden Paladin replied. "I don't know, it's just a feeling."

"A feeling from a General of Peace?" Mirror Coat asked, not very convincing.

"I know you're a little skeptical about these things, Mirror Coat, but I can assure you that there is something more" Golden Paladin said.

"That’s a valid thought" a voice said.

There was an explosion of light and the Lord of Order appeared.

“Master” the five present Generals said, while making him a bow.

"Sir, did you come to help us?" Celestia asked.

"It's more giving you a little push in the right direction, completely different terms" the Lord of Order replied. "Furthermore, with Purple Smoke under the Queen of Hearts’ control, my influence has dropped drastically and I don't like feeling trapped. But let's get to what brought me here because I have a lot of work. I know what the Queen of Hearts wants from Purple Smoke."

"What?" everypony asked.

"Return to Wonderland and so regain control over it" the Lord of Chaos replied.

That made the most of the presents gasp, with the exception of Twilight's friends, who didn't understand what Wonderland was.

"Oh, what is Wonderland?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Duh, of course it's a world with its own magic and logic where the Queen of Hearts is from and used to rule until she was dethroned and banished, what made her come to here and cause a lot of trouble until Purple Smoke defeat her and arrest her in the solitary" Pinkie Pie answered.

That made everypony (with the exception of Heartbeat) look astonished to her.

"Wow, she hit the bullseye" Melody said.

"I will never understand what and how she thinks" Mirror Coat said.

"Welcome to the club" Rainbow Dash said.

"I think Pinkie Pie used a sophisticated method of pure reasoning and logic" Heartbeat protested.

"Of course she did… if she was a Wonderlandian" Mirror Coat responded.

"Anyway, I said what I could have said" the Lord of Order said. "I hope you can stop the Queen of Hearts before she can get to Wonderland."

And having said that, he disappeared in a burst of light.

"Oh, he must think that must be easy" Rainbow Dash said.

“Rainbow Dash, try not insult a so illustrious and powerful figure like the Lord of Order" Rarity scolded.

"But we don't even know what we're going to do" Rainbow Dash said.

"I don’t think so" Golden Paladin said. "The fact that we know what the Queen of Hearts wants, that gives us some room for manoeuvre."

"What do you mean, Golden Paladin?" Twilight asked.

"So she can go back to Wonderland, she has to have access to a dimensional portal" Golden Paladin said. "But the problem is that there’s not many at her disposal."

"No?" Applejack asked.

"Wonderland was poisoned with a curse the Queen of Hearts casted before she left from her homeworld" Mirror Coat said. "Because of that, we had to seal almost all the portals to ensure that the curse didn’t come to here."

"Almost all?" Twilight asked. "Why din’t you seal all of them?"

"That can't happen, princess" Melody said.

"The various realms are arranged in a way to ensure balance" Leaf Mane continued. "The realms give part of themselves to each other."

"In this case, Wonderland gives part of its wonder that flows through all the realms, which gives color and joy" Mirror Coat said. "As far as I know, there are only five ways that allows common ponies go to Wonderland: by a teleportation spell, through a rabbit hole of the White Rabbit of Wonderland…"

"White Rabbit?" Fluttershy asked. "Like my rabbit Angel?"

"This rabbit is not like a pet rabbit" Golden Paladin replied. "It's bigger, can speak and wears a vest and a pocket watch."

"Yes, not to mention he's psychotic" Heartbeat added and, seeing her brothers and sisters staring at her in a disapproving way, asked. "What? It's true!"

"Anyway, there's no way she can use any of those, because the spells and the holes were sealed" Golden Paladin said.

"Another way is through the mirrors of the Lord of Order and the Lord of Chaos’ throne rooms" Mirror Coat said. "But it doesn't look like the Lord of Chaos will let the Queen of Hearts use his mirrors. In that way, he would be inviting the Lord of Order to do the same with us."

"So that leaves us with only two remaining options" Twilight said, starting do a slight smile. "This is going well."

"The other option is using the magic of the General of Portals" Mirror Coat said.

"Wait, there's more Generals beside you?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Yes, Rainbow Dash" Celestia answered. "But Golden Paladin and the other five were assigned to help the Light Kingdom."

"And who is the General of Portals?" Twilight asked.

"It's our sister Bright Night" Melody answered. "But I don't think she would help the Queen of Hearts. I can't believe she approaches her. As for Purple Smoke, I'm sure the Lord of Order warned the others about him."

"Which leaves us with only one option" said Mirror Coat. "The only portal available that was left open so it would be allowed a critical trickle of creativity to flow through the other realms: the Well of Wonder."

"The Well of Wonder?" Twilight and her friends repeated.

"But it shift place constantly" Celestia said. "It just stays in one place for a few minutes. How will the Queen of Hearts find it?"

"Using Purple Smoke” Golden Paladin answered. “Due to his ability to mimic talents, he may be able to track down the well."

"That's why she stole his heart" Twilight realized. "It's not just for revenge. It is also to find the well."

"Ok, somepony else noticed that this is out of our capabilities and normality?" Rarity asked.

"Ah understand Rarity" Applejack said. "It's not every day that we deal with villains from other worlds."

"Well, there are some villains of Tartarus which are not from this world" Heartbeat said.

"But that doesn't matter for anything right now" Golden Paladin said. "Now, what we have to do is send Princess Twilight's friends back home."

"What?!" Rainbow Dash asked. "But we want to help!"

“I don’t think you will serve to a mission like this" Golden Paladin replied. "Besides, you have a pregnant mare among you and we can't risk an innocent life."

Fluttershy felt somewhat uncomfortable when she turned suddenly the target of attention, but made it through.

"And without one of the elements, we cannot activate the magic of the Elements of Harmony" Golden Paladin concluded.

"Golden Paladin's right, Rainbow" Twilight said. "I understand you want to help, but we can't take the chance."

Rainbow Dash tried to find some argument, but Applejack anticipated and said:

"We understand. Ya can send us back tah Ponyville."

Mirror Coat activated his magic and invoked a mirror that served as a portal that Twilight's five friends used to return to Ponyville. After that, Golden Paladin said to Celestia and Luna:

"While we are looking for the Well of Wonder, it is likely that the Queen of Hearts will leave Canterlot. You could take the opportunity to regain the city."

"We can do anything to save our subjects" Celestia said.

"Yes, they deserve that after they put up with that cursed mare" Luna said.

"Meanwhile, the rest of us are going to the Well of Wonder and wait for the Queen of Hearts and Purple Smoke" Golden Paladin said.

"But how do we find the Well of Wonder if it's always shifting places?" Twilight asked.

"Don't worry, princess" Mirror Coat said. "Purple Smoke is not the only one that can find the well. We have a secret weapon right here."

And he pointed to Heartbeat that was sucking a lollipop she had invoked. Seeing everypony looking at her, Heartbeat asked:

"Wait, are you talking about me?"

The Queen of Hearts was at that time sitting on one of her card guards that was being used as a chair, while another one wore a parasol to protect his queen from the solar rays, having others around to guard her. They were on the verge of a road near Neighagra Falls. She seemed to be waiting for somepony, while taking a cup of tea.

It was then that Purple Smoke appeared right in front of her and and bow.

"So?" she asked.

"I think I found it" he replied. "Is nearby and it had just appeared."

"Perfect" the Queen of Hearts said, standing up and making the cup of tea disappear. "Come on. Show me the way."

And Purple Smoke beckoned her.

Celestia and Luna flew in the direction of Canterlot. When they arrived, they landed in the gardens of the castle. There was nopony there.

"I don't like this, sister" Luna said.

"Yes, it's too quiet" Celestia agreed.

And it was then that several card guards appeared and surrounded them. There was a laugh and then Fire Punch appeared.

"Do you really think the Queen of Hearts would go out without ordering to somepony to take care of things?" he asked.

"In fact, we assume that" Celestia replied.

"But the fact that you are in charge doesn’t scares us even" Luna added.

"That's what we're going to see" Fire Punch said. "Attack!"

And the guards advanced against the two sisters, who began to use their magic to put the guards outside of combat without hurt them.

The Queen of Hearts and his card guards followed Purple Smoke until they reach the lake that was being fed by the big falls. Right on the edge of the side was a well made of stone and moss was covering some places. It could see a bright and multi-colored fluid inside.

"There it is, the Well of Wonder!" the Queen of Hearts exclaimed. "Finally, I can go home and reclaim what was taken from me."

"That's if we let that happen" a voice said.

They turned and saw Twilight, Golden Paladin and the other generals.

"You?!" she asked.

In Canterlot, Celestia and Luna had managed to subdue all the guards. The only one missing was Fire Punch.

"It seems that we have only you left, Fire Punch" Celestia said. "Give up. You don't stand a chance against us."

"You underestimate my abilities, Princess Celestia" Fire Punch said. "Don't forget that hold both you, your sister and Cadance."

"That was when you were the Changeling King" Luna answered. "You don't have that power nor your Changelings."

"Maybe not, but do you think I would wear this outfit if it didn't come with extras?" Fire Punch asked.

And then he used a lot of speed to get close to the princesses and tried to attack them. Fortunately, they were fast enough to avoid it. They realized soon that defeat Fire Punch wouldn't be as easy as they thought.

"How did you get here?" the Queen of Hearts asked.

"After understanding what you wanted, it wasn't that hard" Golden Paladin replied. "As finding the well. We might not have our scout, but we have someone who can smell the Wonderland water from miles away."

"Uh, that is me" Heartbeat said.

"You're not going to get what you want, Queen of Hearts" Twilight said. "We're going to retrieve Purple Smoke and then we're going to arrest you."

The Queen of Hearts gave a laugh that was able to give Twilight a lot of chills.

"It's really funny, because I don't see anyone on your team who can escape from my powers" the queen said. "Besides, I can't steal hearts with twice of the speed with Fire Punch fighting by my side."

"You can have a General fighting by your side" Melody said. "But you forgot that there are six Generals of Order."

"It doesn't matter" the Queen of Hearts said. "You won't stop me of getting what I want!"

"You don't think so?" Heartbeat asked with a smile. "Three, two, one..."

And it was then that the Well of Wonder just disappeared.

"The well!" the Queen of Hearts exclaimed, recovering then her composure. "It doesn't matter. I can find the well later. But, first, I'm going to take care of you all. Guards, attack! Off with their heads! In fact, OUT WITH ALL OF THEM!"

And the guards who were with the Queen of Hearts advanced to fight Twilight and the Generals of Order.

Celestia and Luna continued to fight against the Knave of Hearts. It seemed that Fire Punch improved greatly, perhaps thanks to the magic the Queen of Hearts gave to him when she turned him on her knave. The two, in the air, exchanged a look and waved to each other. Celestia advanced first and tried to hit Fire Punch with a magic beam, but he dodged and gave a strong jump to try to hit Celestia that dodged. Fire Punch then saw Luna coming towards him, what made him do a stunt to dodge and then land on the floor. After that, he turned to the two sisters and asked:

"Do you really think that would get me?"

"I don't know" Celestia replied with a smile. “You tell me.”

And that's when Luna disappeared as if it was smoke, what made Fire Punch confused. And a sharp pain in the back took him and Fire Punch fell. On the ground, he saw Luna appearing at his side, smiling the same way as her sister. It seemed that Fire Punch had fallen into their trap.

"It looks like we won, Fire Punch" Celestia said, putting herself on the edge of her sister. "Surrender."

Fire Punch saw he was completely trapped, but he wasn't going to let them caught him. he didn't want to be put in the prison-book.

"I will never surrender" he said.

And concentrating all the magic the queen gave to him, Fire Punch managed to teleport himself.

"He escaped!" Luna exclaimed.

"It's okay, Luna” Celestia said. “What matters is that we came back and we regained our castle."

"Yes, I think that what we can do now is return the hearts the Queen of Hearts stole" Luna said. "We just have to figure out where they are."

"Don't worry, sister" Celestia said. "I know where the vault with the hearts is."

It was then that Celestia had an idea.

"If she have there all the hearts she'd ever captured, then… That’s it! Luna, come on."

Luna, without understanding, followed her sister.

The fight between the Generals and their princess against the Queen of Hearts’ card guards seemed to be with the advantage in favour of the formers, as they were too powerful for the ponies that had the Queen of Hearts’ power.

But the queen's intention was not for the guard to defeat them but to entertain them, as she knew that was going to allow her to win everything and, at the same time, give to the Lord of Chaos that he wanted the most.

The Queen of Hearts surrounded the fight with Purple Smoke until she saw her prey: Twilight. She would take her heart to take control over the Princess of the Light Kingdom. This would allow the Lord of Chaos to invade the only place of that world he could not conquer.

"Cover me" she said. "Make sure nopony interferes in what I’m going to do now."

"Yes, Your Highness" Purple Smoke replied, bowing his head slightly.

And when the Queen of Hearts saw an opportunity, she advanced with her speed against Twilight and inserted her hoof in her chest, something that made Twilight take a huge cry of pain, which made her generals turn to her.

"Princess!" they shouted at the same time, while trying to get to her, but not being able to do that due to the guards.

Heartbeat, who was the fastest, tried to use her speed to prevent the Queen of Hearts, but she was hit with a cloud of toxic purple smoke of Purple Smoke that knocked her unconscious.

"Take your hoof out!" Twilight ordered.

"I don’t think so" the Queen of Hearts replied. "The Lord of Chaos will be quite pleased when I give to him the heart of the Princess of the Light Kingdom. It will be as if he had your star seed."

Things seemed to be going from bad to worse. If something wasn’t done, the Queen of Hearts would take Twilight’s heart Twilight and have her under control.

Celestia wandered through the corridors of the castle towards the dungeons.

"Sister, where are we going?" Luna asked.

"Give a hoof to our friends of the Light Kingdom" Celestia replied.

She stopped in front of a door of the dungeon and, using magic, she managed to unlock it and open it. The two sisters came and encountered the walls full of slots. Each slot was identified according to the deck of cards. But what Celestia was searching did not belong to the deck of cards, but she knew it was identified with something. It was then that she found the vault that was identified with the image of Purple Smoke’s Cutie Mark.

"It's here!" Celestia exclaimed, starting to try to open the slot.

"What's up, sister?" Luna asked.

"This is the vault where the Queen of Hearts guards the hearts she steals" Celestia exclaimed. "Each slot contains a heart that, as long as it is in its place, the Queen of Hearts uses to influence its owner. All the hearts that are here belongs to the guards of her card guard. However, this slot has Purple Smoke’s heart."

"That means we can release him from her influence" Luna realized.

"Yes, I just have to break down the protective spells..." Celestia said, who managed to open the slot. "I did it!"

She opened the slot and removed Purple Smoke’s heart from there. Having it in her hoof, Celestia could feel the connection between the heart and its owner and realized that now she could control Purple Smoke.

"Purple Smoke, I command you to break free from the Queen of Hearts’ orders of the Queen" Celestia said.

The Queen of Hearts was still trying to get Twilight’s heart who was trying to prevent that at all costs, holding the queen’s hoof.

"I'm not going to let you take my heart" Twilight said.

"It’s inevitable" the Queen of Hearts replied. "I'm going to get you, then this world will be plunged into darkness and chaos."

And she gave her greatest and more terrible evil laugh, but she stopped suddenly when she felt an immense pain coming from her back. All present were shocked by what had happened.

"It’s... impossible" the Queen of Hearts said, without wanting to believe. "I have... your heart."

Purple Smoke had inserted his hoof on the Queen of Hearts’ back in order to reach her heart.

"Now you don't have it" Purple Smoke replied. "Now, my heart is in Princess Celestia’s beautiful hooves."

"That... Knave" the Queen of Hearts said. "What... worthless."

"Release Princess Twilight" Purple Smoke ordered.

"No" the Queen of Hearts replied. "Not... even… think… about it."

"Bad for you" Purple Smoke said.

And having said that, Purple Smoke removed his hoof from the Queen of Hearts, removing her heart.

"Now, as owner of your heart, Queen of hearts, I command you to release Princess Twilight" Purple Smoke ordered.

Unable to control their movements, the Queen of Hearts released Twilight.

"Order your guards to stop fighting" Purple Smoke ordered.

The Queen of Hearts tried to resist, but she said:

"Stop ... fighting."

And with this, the card guards stopped fighting. Heartbeat regained her senses and, upon seeing what was happening, she asked:

"Did I miss anything?"

"Only Purple Smoke taking the Queen of Hearts’ heart... again" Melody answered.

"Oh, I always lose the best moments!" Heartbeat exclaimed.

That made everypony laugh and then Purple Smoke said:

"Well, it's time to arrest this mad queen."

"You're going to regret it, Purple Smoke” the Queen of Hearts said. "Don't doubt about it!"

But Purple Smoke didn't listened her and invoked the cell blaster, saying then:

"Now, let me catch you and put you in the prison-book and don’t fight against it."

And so he aimed the cell blaster and shot at the Queen of Hearts that was sucked into the life cell that was there. After she had being sucked to it, Purple Smoke invoked the prison-book and put the life cell in there.

"I think she will be off for a while" Purple Smoke said.

And everypony laughed.

"Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to get my heart" Purple Smoke said. "I think those guards will also need them. If you don't mind, I'm going ahead."

And he turned into smoke and left.

"Well, he's in a hurry" Twilight noted.

"I would be too if I was supposed to be immune to the Queen of Hearts’ power and still lost my heart to her" Heartbeat replied.

Fire Punch arrived to Tartarus exhausted. Having used all the power that the Queen of Hearts had given to him, he went back to what he was before. He advanced through the prison until he had reached the Lord of Chaos’ room. He opened the door and saw the Lord of Chaos who was sitting on his throne staring at his fingernails. His mirror was there on the edge.

"Hello, Fire Punch" he greeted.

"Master" Fire Punch said, a little afraid.

"Tell me how were the things with the Queen of Hearts?" the Lord of Chaos asked.

"Well... you know..." Fire Punch stammered. " It turns out that... What happened..."

"I think what happened was that the Queen of Hearts was defeated because somepony didn’t manage to protect her vault" the Lord of Chaos said, looking to Fire Punch with his malevolent look.

"But master... the princesses..." Fire Punch said unable to articulate a complete sentence. "It wasn't my fault."

"She just need only a few seconds" the Lord of Chaos said, rising up. "Just a few more seconds, and not only I would control over Wonderland and Equestria, but I would also have control over Princes Twilight."

"Master…" Fire Punch started, with his growing fear increasing even faster.

"Are you prepared for what's next, dear Fire Punch?" the Lord of Chaos asked, beginning to approaching Fire Punch.

"No, master" Fire Punch implored, trying to leave the room, but without success because the door have been magically sealed by the Lord of Chaos. " No, no... No!"

And Fire Punch had to face the terrible punishment that the Lord of Chaos had for him for having failed once again to him.
