Deeper and deeper the team descended into the cavern, careful not to lose their grip and fall down. Not that they couldn't stop their fall anytime they wanted with such a narrow pathway, but still, they tread carefully.

"This is one mighty deep hole..." Applejack pointed out "How long do ya reckon it goes on fer?"

"My guess is a while..." Twilight groaned "I mean, that was a pretty deep hole we fell into last time."

"With a slide and everything!" Rainbow added.

"Oh yeah! That part was actually kinda fun" Twilight rolled her eyes, smiling a bit "But I suppose we're stuck going down this long, narrow hole instead of the fun one."

"Well, what if we drop for a moment?" Rarity suggested "We could always stop our fall anytime we wanted, and it would save about... well... a long period of time."

(Music Stop)

"Ah guess we could try..." Applejack shrugged "Okay, everyone... On mah mark... One..."

"Ohhh..." Fluttershy squeaked.

"Two..."

"This is gonna hurt any way we do this..." Rainbow muttered to herself.

"Three..."

"Relax, Rarity, you were the one to think of this idea in the first place" Rarity inhaled and exhaled a few times.

"Now!" Applejack shouted.

The moment she spoke, everyone let go of the rocks and began quickly descending into the depths of the cavern. A few shrieks of terror were heard from Rarity and Fluttershy, unexpectedly, but the others simply braced themselves for when they needed to stop. In fact, Rainbow Dash seemed to be having the time of her life.

"WOO HOOO!!!" she excitedly called out "This is AWESOME!!"

"Ah can see the end!" Applejack's eyes widened before she smiled and looked up "On mah mark, everyone stop yerselves! One..."

"No time!!" Twilight shouted, causing everyone to extend their hands out and skid down to a stop. Most had gloves or gauntlets to protect their hands whilst slowing down. All save for Fluttershy, who tried touching the wall but burnt her hand a bit.

"Ow..." she whimpered "I... I'm going to have to, um... keep falling."

"Wait, what?!" Everyone shouted.

"Then... Oh, this is gonna hurt..." Applejack sighed as she let go of the wall and continued to fall down. The others save for Rainbow Dash let go as well, attempting to cushion Fluttershy's fall.

"Next time, Shy, bring gloves, okay?" Rainbow suggested.

"O-Okay..." Fluttershy nodded.

(Music Stop)

"Oooowwwww..." groaned Twilight "Is everyone... okay?"

"Ah'm good" Applejack nodded.

"Ohhh... I can't feel my legs!" Rarity slightly panicked before the blood came rushing back into the lower half of her body "Oh! Never mind then!"

"Kaw!" Spike crawled around until finding his owner and walking up onto her shoulder, snuggling her affectionately. Twilight sighed a smile and rubbed her pet's head gently.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, everyone..." Fluttershy apologized as quickly as she could "Um... You didn't have to, um... do this for me. I would have been, um... fine."

"Actually, that fall would have killed you" Rainbow Dash jumped down from the crack in the ceiling, where the team fell from "If these guys weren't here to help you, I have a feeling there would be you over the floor and not them."

"Rainbow Dash! Far too much information!" Twilight scolded her friend before getting up, cracking her back and sighing in relief "Ahh... That feels better..."

"But... Is this the place?" Rarity stretched her arms as she too got up and looked around.

They had fallen into a large room that glowed a heavenly blue light. The mages once again felt blissful again, feeling the light on their skin. After one more look around, they concluded that they were in fact in the very same Magistone cave they had fallen into previously.

"But if this is the cave, where's Trixie?" Applejack asked.

"Or that ruffian Gilda, for the matter?" Rarity questioned.

"Gilda..." Rainbow sighed.

"Welcome, one and all!" everyone knew who's voice echoed through the cave "Welcome to Trixie's lair!"

Everyone looked up with a scowl on their face, even Fluttershy, surprisingly. Descending from the other end of the cavern was none other than the very same Black Mage that had given them so much trouble the past couple of days. With a laugh, she stepped down onto the ground and looked at her foes with a smile on her face.

"Trixie!" Twilight growled.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't Twibright Snorkel" Trixie folded her arms "Trixie sees you've defeated her Scorpio. Do you know how hard it is to tame one of those?!"

"Seeing how constellation monsters are rare and extremely aggressive, I would say..." Twilight thought for a moment before shrugging "...eh, couldn't have been that hard."

"Don't mock Trixie!" Trixie scoffed "She is far above you in terms of power! Compared to you, Trixie is a demigod!"

"Well, no, actually" Rainbow spoke up "You don't have power, you just own power, which means you're still like us, and a quick spear-to-the-chest will deal with you quite nicely, actually."

"You wish to kill Trixie?" Trixie laughed "You can't kill Trixie! She has Titan at her disposal! Speaking of, do you hear the sound of a certain guardian approaching? Because Trixie does! She clearly has far better hearing than you."

(Music Stop)

The team did hear a sound, though. They were heavy footsteps slowly approaching the area. Every time a thump was made, the ground shook and even knocked a few on their backsides. At the sound's loudest, it suddenly stopped, only for the entire back wall of the cavern to explode, sending Magistone bits everywhere. On the other side of the now crumbled wall was a tall, brown, sturdy-looking humanoid rock monster with a stubby head, large teeth in its mouth, a muscular chest, muscular arms and legs, and a purple loincloth covering its crotch area. Not that there was anything to really cover anyway.

"Fools and imbeciles, Trixie presents to you..." Trixie waved her arms in the air like she was putting on some sort of magic show "...the guardian of the earth crystal, Titan!"

Titan let out an extremely loud roar, forcing everyone to cover their ears. As soon as the roar was finished, Titan raised its foot up before slamming it back down into the ground, causing spikes to appear around the team.

"Hahaha!" Trixie laughed "Crush them! Destroy them!"

Mindlessly, Titan continued its attacking, though perhaps not on Trixie's behalf. It slowly walked toward the team and tried to crush them under its foot. It would have done so, unless...

"Blizzara!" Rarity shouted, firing out a large, sharp chunk of ice at the guardian's leg joint, freezing it and causing it to trip over and fall on its back.

"Nice job, Rare!" Applejack nodded before running up onto the creature and impaling it right in the head. Unfortunately, in the heat of their triumph, Applejack had forgotten Titan was, well... a rock. Titan immediately pushed her off and got back up, crushing the ice encasing its leg. It then picked up Applejack and began waving her around like crazy.

"Try and hit its vulnerable spot!" Twilight shouted.

"It's a rock, it doesn't have any vulnerable spots!!" Applejack shouted before she was thrown across the room, nearly hitting the wall if it wasn't for Fluttershy and her Aero spell, gently setting her down onto the ground.

"What about the eyes?" Rainbow suggested "The mouth! The nose! I don't know, just start throwing shit at it! Fire spells, Ice spells, baby fire gods! ANYTHING!!"

"Fluttershy, darling, I think I have an idea, but I'll require your assistance!" Rarity called over to her friend, to which she slowly approached her "Yes, now, I will cast Blizzara at the creature again to attempt to freeze it-"

"HEADS UP!!" Rainbow warned the two mages, moving themselves out of the way from a fist-slam from Titan. After finding safer grounds, Rarity continued her talk.

"Sorry, darling" she apologized "Now, where was I...? Oh yes, of course! After I have successfully cast Blizzara, I would like you to use your Aero spell to move it around and freeze the entire body of the creature, allowing us a better chance of attack. Is this something you think you might be able to do?"

"O-Of course, Rarity" Fluttershy nodded.

"Good! Now..." Rarity pointed her rod at Titan once more "Blizzara!"

"Aero!" Fluttershy waved her staff around, causing a breeze to whip up, moving the icy attack around Titan's body. The wind then tightly hugged it before the ice within froze the torso, arms and legs together. Titan growled, attempting to move itself, but the ice was much thicker this time around.

"Spellblade me, Rare!" Applejack extended her sword and allowed her friend to cast Fira on her sword "This is fer bein' a rock, ya stupid rock!" she leaped into the air and brought her blade down on Titan's left arm. With the ice weakening its rocky body, Applejack was able to slice right through both the ice and rock, severing the arm.

"W-What?!" Trixie immediately noticed this "No! You can't lose, Titan! Trixie won't allow it! She demands you destroy them with everything you have!"

After its arm was cut off, Titan went into a fit of rage against the team. It shattered the ice around it and stomped its feet on the ground, bouncing everyone up into the air, if only just a little bit. Stalagmite made of Magistone rose from the ground and attempted to impale the team, thankfully to no avail. But then, Titan reached over and grabbed its severed left arm with its right and began using it as a weapon, swinging it around at the five.

"Jesus!" Rainbow shouted, taking cover.

"Okay, lesson learned: cutting things off rock monsters is bad!" Twilight analyzed "If slicing its arm off won't even make it wince, well we're as good as screwed."

"But maybe..." Applejack thought aloud "Ah got it! Rarity, Fluttershy, do yer thin' again!"

"But, darling, all that did last time was anger it further!" Rarity pointed out.

"Ah'm well aware, Rare" Applejack nodded "But ya just have ta trust me."

"...oh, alright" Rarity chuckled before raising her rod right at Titan "Fluttershy, dear, you know what to do."

"Y-Yes, I know" Fluttershy stuttered.

"In that case... Blizzara!"

"Aero!" the two executed their double attack once again, wrapping Titan with wind and encasing it in ice.

"Twilight, weaken the ice!" Applejack called out.

"Right!" Twilight shouted back before looking over at her pet Bahamut. Spike nodded and crawled right off of her shoulder, spewing flames at the frozen guardian, creating a weak point for Applejack to strike.

"...and, stay down!" Applejack leaped up for one final time and, with her sword still engulfed with flame, slashed at Titan multiple times through the newly made soft spot. As soon as Applejack landed back down onto the ground, Titan crumbled up into hundreds of pieces that scattered themselves across the floor.

"N-NO!!" Trixie shouted "Impossible! How could you have defeated Titan?! It is supposed to be invincible!"

"You forget, Trixie" Twilight was about to say something sappy, and Rainbow Dash knew it "It was our power of friendship that overpowered you and the guardian!"

"Ugh..." everyone groaned.

"What?" Twilight wondered.

(Music Stop)

"Fool! You may have your precious friendship and sappy stuff, but Trixie will always be the most powerful Black Mage in the world!" Trixie laughed "You will never be able to defeat me! Trixie is- URK!"

"YOU... TALK... TOO... MUCH..." a low voice spoke right after Trixie was impaled with a rock from Titan's body "YOU... ARE... ANNOYING... BUT... POWERFUL... YOU... WILL... MAKE... A... GOOD... VESSEL..."

"V-V-Ves... sel...?" Trixie felt life draining away from her "W-Who...?"

"YOU... KNOW... WHO... I... AM..." Titan's remains then circled around Trixie and absorbed themselves into her. Some Magistone even came and was absorbed into the now swirling ball of energy and magic in front of the team.

Finally, after a few more moments, the light dissipated and revealed Titan's new form. It, or rather she now, looked exactly like Trixie only with much longer hair, giant rock arms as large as her body, leg-sized stones circling her, and rocks now acting as her clothing, just barely covering it all up. Behind her was now a long rock tail that moved from left to right every once-in-a-while. She looked up at the five with a smile, her now red eyes glowing fiercely.

"This... is an odd form..." the possessed Trixie stated "I suppose I must now get used to these new... features. And... my voice. It's higher? Ah, of course, I'm a woman now."

"T-Trixie?" Twilight wondered "Is that you?"

"Ah, you five are still here" the woman remembered "The one you know as Trixie is gone, I think you'll be happy to hear. However, her body remains, and with it I, Titan, no... Doltram, have begun to use it for my own needs. I suppose in the end, she was useful."

"Wanna tell us your plan? Might as well" Rainbow's eyebrow rose.

"My plan has always been to protect the earth crystal from those willing to do harm to it" Doltram explained "However, this body's hatred for everyone around her has given me a new purpose in my life. With this body, I shall create a new world for people to live in with my rules and my beliefs. I shall exterminate any who stand in my way of this goal, including you!"

Doltram then slapped her hands together, causing the cracks in her body to glow the same heavenly light of the Magistone. With its power, she summoned a two large swords and grabbed each of them with her hands. She then began swinging them around a bit before aiming them right at the team.

"Doltram, was it?" Applejack wondered "Ah came here ta defeat Trixie and stop her from usin' the earth crystal ta ruin mah land even more than it already has been..." she then twirled her own still flaming sword and pointing right at Doltram "And that's exactly what ah'm gonna do!"

"Heh... Crazy mutated person that serves as the crystal's guardian?" Rainbow laughed "Never heard that one before!"

"Here she comes!" Twilight shouted. She moved right out of the way before one of Doltram's swords slammed right into where Twilight was originally. She then pulled out her book and summoned something she hadn't tried yet.

"Summon! Lv.2 Ramuh!" she called out. Before her came a purple summon circle that brought forth an elderly man with a very long, bushy beard, a foot-down robe, and a wooden staff. He swung his staff around a bit before sending an electrical power right at Doltram's body, inflicting some damage unto her. The old man then descended back into into the circle, both disappearing in a flash.

"Ugh... This body is significantly weaker than my previous" she said "No matter... So long as I can overpower you, you are all insects compared to me! Magnitude 8!" a fierce rumbling occurred beneath the team's feet that rattled their bones and dealt some serious damage to them.

"Pegasai, to the skies!" Twilight shouted at her winged friends. They quickly nodded before starting to hover in the air.

"What will protect us, darling?" Rarity questioned.

"We'll simply have to tank the damage for now" Twilight sighed "I'm not sure if we'll be able to escape her Magnitude 8 move, but I do know we can have Fluttershy heal us whenever we take too much damage."

"O-Of course" Fluttershy nodded before raising her staff "Cure!" a calming light was cast on each of her friends, healing some of the damage they recently took.

"Time to put this to good use as well" Twilight pulled out a potion, popped off the top and began guzzling it down, feeling extremely refreshed afterwards.

"You still stand? Even after Magnitude 8?! How dare you!" Doltram shouted "Well, I think you'll be very unhappy to know I have accumulated some magic as well from the surrounding Magistone. In case you mortals failed to understand that, I am now able to cast my own spells! Now, fall under the power of-"

"Ya talk too much" Applejack jumped up and struck Doltram's fleshy area, dealing a good amount of damage to her.

"Yes, darling, it is getting rather annoying" Rarity twirled around her rod before pointing right at her opponent "Blizzara!" once more, a chunk of ice launched out at the rod and at its target. However, Doltram remembered this from her time as Titan and slashed the chunk with one of her swords, shattering it into thousands of pieces.

"No matter, I shall simply cast another one" Rarity stuck out her rod again "Blizzara!"

Nothing happened.

"Oh dear..." she slightly panicked on the inside "I appear to be out of mana, darlings!"

"This cave is filled with magic, Rare" Rainbow pointed out "Just touch some and get it back."

"Oh, of course!" Rarity rolled her eyes at her own stupidity. However, Doltram would have none of this.

"What's this? Using the Magistone without my permission?" she questioned "MY Magistone?! How dare you! Only I am allowed to use that! Now, suffer the consequences of defying me!" she crossed her swords like an X and cast a barrier around the mystical ore, keeping it protected from prying hands "There! Now you will never be able to outmatch me!"

"This bitch is even more obnoxious than Trixie" Rainbow rolled her eyes.

"But still just as soft" Twilight explained "I don't care if she's a god or something, everything has a weakness and or a weak point. And I see her's right in the center..." she pointed right at Trixie's original body.

"Right then" Applejack nodded "Everyone, aim fer the body!"

"Pardon?" Doltram questioned "How dare you! This body is mine to use and abuse! None shall-"

"Oh fer..." Applejack jumped up and got face-to-face with her opponent "Just shut-up!" she swung down her sword, but was unfortunately blocked by one of Doltram's rocky arms.

"You are persistent" she said angrily, pushing Applejack back "All of you are! But your will to defeat me is strong... No, I cannot allow that! No willpower in the world will be able to defeat me! Nothing can!"

"Ugh... Just shut-up already!" Rainbow Dash shouted before getting an idea "Wait... Why don't we try what we did last time?"

"Just a problem with that, darling" Rarity brought up "I'm out of mana, remember?"

"Actually, I was saving this for when we needed it most" she pulled out a clear glass bottle with a green liquid inside it "This is a tincture. It recovers some of your lost mana, meaning you'll get one last shot at doing this. Drink up!" she tossed the drink at her friend, to which she immediately downed it.

"Mmmm... What a peculiar, but rather refreshing taste..." Rarity rated the drink "But that doesn't matter now. What matters is this! Fluttershy, on my mark, use Aero!"

"O-Okay!" Fluttershy nodded, readying her staff.

"One... Two... Three... Now! Blizzara!" she pointed her rod and sent a huge chunk of ice at Doltram. As she did, Fluttershy summoned another gust of air that shattered the chunk and wrapped the pieces around the guardian's body before finally freezing her neck down. This gave a wonderful opportunity for the others to strike.

"Time for something a little stronger than Spike... No offense, little guy" Twilight petted her Bahamut before flipping through her book and coming across the Lv.2 fire summon "Summon! Lv.2 Ifrit!"

Once again, a purple summon circle appeared before her feet, giving rise to a large man with tanned brown, scarred skin, a red loincloth covering his crotch area, and horns growing from his head. He waved his arms a bit before summoning a giant sword of fire which came right down onto Doltram's right arm, shattering the ice but giving way for the others to attack her soft core. The man then descended back down into the summon circle, which disappeared soon after.

"NO!!" Doltram shouted.

"Oh yes!" Rainbow grinned before using her jump ability and descending down onto her foe's now open weak point, slashing across her belly and leaving a huge mark.

"Time ta end this!" Applejack shouted before leaping on a few of Doltram's rocks and preparing to strike her.

"Not yet, you're not!" Doltram shouted, swinging her remaining sword and clashing with Applejack's. They both struggled to outdo the other, but in the end, it was Applejack that managed to cut right through Doltram's blade and impale her right through the chest.

(Music Stop)

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!" she cried out, clutching her chest as soon as Applejack's sword pulled out of it "YOU... YOU... INSOLENT... FOOLS... AAAHHHGGGGGGG!!!!

As she continued screaming, her body slowly disintegrated into nothingness, gently placing Trixie's near-lifeless nude body on the ground. The dust of the rocks blew down deeper into the cave, where Titan came from. Most turned away from the body to give Trixie at least some semblance of dignity, all except for Rainbow Dash, who anyone would know by now is one of the most perverted people in the world.

"Rainbow, look away, that's... wrong" Twilight urged.

"Heheh... nope" Rainbow chuckled, continuing to stare at her body "Besides, after what she did, she kinda deserves this."

"While ya keep lookin' at her, we're gonna check out the crystal and see ifin it needs attention" Applejack stated, sheathing her sword "Twilight, didn't ya say on our way here that if we killed the guardian, the crystal would start ta fade away?"

"Precisely" Twilight nodded "However, each crystal holds a legendary hero that combated King Sombra."

"What?!" Rarity and Applejack shouted at the same time.

"Did I not mention that? Sorry..." Twilight nervously chuckled before getting back on topic "But yes, the heroes are in fact real and have their souls trapped inside the crystals. It's our job to get them out so we can borrow their power and use it to defeat Sombra. Only, I'm not sure if we have the person this hero will accept..."

"Well, what about Applejack, darling?" Rarity suggested.

"We'll have to see about that" Twilight nodded "We should go and check in on the crystal anyway just to make sure. Rainbow Dash, come along now."

"Oh, alright..." Rainbow sighed, following her friends into the hole that Titan made, leading deeper into the cavern.

At the end of the hallway was an alter not unlike the one found by Twilight, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash that held and protected the wind crystal. In the center this time, however, was none other than the earth crystal, still bright as it ever was; though, that was more than likely thanks to the dust from Doltram's body that was absorbed into it.

"So this is the earth crystal?" Rarity asked "All my life I have lived in that cave filled with beauty and wonder, and never once have I seen something as beautiful as this..."

"Legends say the earth crystal was once placed in our lil' kingdom" Applejack remembered hearing about the legend some time ago "But Titan grew enraged by us and took it fer itself. Ah guess at the end of the day, it was just tryin' ta protect the crystal. But its morels were wrong, and ah don't feel bad about killin' it."

"Yeah, neither do ah!" spoke another female country voice unfamiliar to any of the team members.

"That voice..." Twilight thought aloud "...could it be? The hero of the earth crystal?"

"Yer darn tootin'!" spoke the voice again before finally revealing its owner in a ghostly manner. She had beige-yellow skin, turquoise eyes and short, auburn hair that only slightly curled, much like Fluttershy's. On her head was a brown, pointed hat and with a yellow ring around it that neatly tucked a long, white feather in. On her body was a brown dress that went down to her knees with a dapper white neck piece and puffy orange sleeves. On her face were admittedly pretty cute freckles.

"So you're the hero of the earth crystal?" Rainbow wondered "No offense, but you kinda look like a dainty woman."

"Oh, shut it!" the woman shouted "Ah look like this because before ah died becomin' the crystal, ah was a Red Mage."

"A Red Mage?" Twilight wondered.

"Yes" the woman nodded "Mah family symbolized the union between Black Mages and Knights, but since ah never had youngin's', the line was broken and the two sides split off from each other. Ah dun think there's a single Red Mage left in this world now. Ah've searched and searched though mah time in the crystal, but no one was able to perfectly understand both black and white magic at the same time."

"How unfortunate..." Rarity somberly sighed.

"Oh, mah apologies!" the woman slapped herself on the head "Ah'm Smart Cookie, and ah'm here because one of y'all is compatible with mah power. And judgin' by mah easily superior knowledge, ah'm guessin' it's... ya!" she pointed at Rarity and flew up next to her.

"Me?" she wondered.

"Yes, it has ta be ya!" Smart Cookie nodded "Now hold still; this might feel weird..." she began channeling her power into Rarity, but nothing happened "Huh? What? Yer not the one? So then how am ah here?"

"Maybe yer 'easily superior knowledge' is wrong" Applejack chuckled.

"Ah... Ya... Hmm..." Smart Cookie thought "Do ya happen ta be Apple royalty blood?"

"Well, yeah ah am, but-"

"No buts!" Smart stopped her "Ya might be the one instead. If ya REALLY are, ah'm gonna transfer mah power, nay, the crystal's power inta ya. We might not see each other again, but ah promise ya if the time comes, ah'll be there."

"It was a pleasure meeting you, miss Smart Cookie" Fluttershy waved goodbye.

"W-Wait... Ya look... familiar..." Smart Cookie said as she was absorbing herself into Applejack's body "Ah dunno why, but somethin' about ya just seems... wait... Ah know who ya are! Yer-"

Smart's mouth faded away just before she could finish, causing her eyes to become very disappointed. With that last expression, her entire being had completely faded away into Applejack, causing the latter to sigh.

(Music Stop)

"Fluttershy..." Twilight began "What was Smart Cookie talking about when she said she recognized you?"

"I-I'm not sure, Twilight..." Fluttershy seemed just as confused at her friend "B-But honestly... I don't exactly want to know..."

"Fair enough" Twilight nodded before turning to her friends and briefing them "Well, two down, four to go! We're making good progress here, people! Now we just have to find a way out."

The second she finished her sentence, the ground and ceiling began to crumble and shake. Without Titan around, the cave was starting to collapse.

"And fast!" Applejack worryingly said.

"But there's no way out of here other than that narrow way we came through last time!" Rainbow brought up "Even then, that's all the way on the ceiling of the cave! Furthermore, I'm not sure how far we'd get with a crumbling cave shaking and rattling us."

"So... we're... doomed?" Rarity questioned.

Everyone went silent after that, the only noise being the crumbling cave around them. Before any of them could talk again, something hit each of them on the head, knocking them out.

Twilight slowly opened her eyes to the bright sunlight of the outside world. She felt the warmness of the sun along with the soft grass on her back. She took a deep breath in and smelled the clean air that brushed against her face and hair. She smiled for only a moment before a realization suddenly struck her.

"Am I... dead?" she wondered.

"Originally, that's what I was thinking too" spoke a voice all too familiar to her. She sat up straight and looked up to see none other than Rainbow Dash perfectly A-okay.

"Rainbow?" Twilight asked.

"The one and only, baby" Rainbow smirked "The others and I were waiting for you to get back."

"Oh, well... thanks!" Twilight smiled before she finally stood up and looked behind her, seeing all her friends with relieved expressions on their faces. Suddenly, Twilight remembered something very important to her.

"Wait, where's Spike?!"

"Kaw!" Spike cried out from atop Fluttershy's shoulder, quickly crawling down and rejoining his owner before snuggling her. Twilight just laughed at this gesture.

"Aww, great to see you too, little guy" she giggled.

"So, I suppose we're done here, darlings?" Rarity wondered.

"Pretty much" Applejack confirmed "Rarity and ah are goin' with y'all, in case yer wonderin'."

"Of course! Always happy to have some extra members on our team" Twilight smiled and nodded "Just to let you know, anything could happen on our journey. Are you sure you're ready?"

"Darling, after witnessing that horrid creature and defeating it with barely any mana left, I feel ready to take on the world!" Rarity grinned "Let us find the heroes of the olden days and use their power to fight Sombra once again!"

"Do ah even need ta answer that question?" Applejack smirked.

"Alright then!" Twilight raised her fist into the air "Let's get back home!"

"Well, um... First we have to, um, find the airship..." Fluttershy softly spoke. The others' smiles turned around when they all suddenly realized just how stranded they were. None of the landmarks looked familiar to them. Something told them they would have a lot of walking to accomplish.

"Ugh... uhnnn..." Trixie groaned while on the cold, hard ground in front of the ruined mines "What... What happened to Trixie? Has she been harmed? And where is Titan?"

She shook her head and got back up off the ground only to see the entire army of Black Mages and Knights before her. They all readied their weapons, but quickly gasped and turned away from her.

"Haha! Yes! Fear Trixie!" Trixie laughed "But... She never thought it would be this easy to make everyone bow down to her..."

At that moment, she realized her lower section was slightly drafty. Curiously and confusingly, she looked down only to see that she was in the nude. Her face flushed a bright red color as she attempted to to cover herself up. But it was far too late for that. An old man approached her with a huge smile on his face.

"You are a very pretty woman, Trixie! Hehehe!!" he laughed.

"St-Starswirl! How dare you gaze upon Trixie's form!" Trixie shouted "You... You perverted old fool!" she then turned around and ran away, the entire army laughing at her as she did.

"Sir!" a Knight approached Starswirl "Should we give chase?"

"...No, I think this is an appropriate punishment" Starswirl agreed "She won't get very far anyway. Well, I suppose now is as good a time as ever to tell those five they aren't really lost. Knight, prepare the airships and collect them!"

"Yes, sir!" the knight nodded and dashed off to the rest of the army.

(Music Stop)

"...thank you" Starswirl smiled as he turned around and saw someone who had their entire body covered in a raggedy brown robe, with the hood over their head "Thank you for saving my daughter and her friends. If you hadn't been there, I'm not sure if I would have been able to cope with their losses."

The mysterious figure held out their hand curled their fingers a few times. Starswirl nodded and gave them a bag filled with a couple thousand bits.

"From the king's secret stash, but don't tell him I found it next to his 'Alicorn Daily' magazine..." Starswirl chuckled. The figure merely placed the money on their hip and dashed away. As they did, Starswirl smiled.

"Maybe one day you can tell her the truth..." he said "Maybe one day... You can make it up to her."

Author's Notes:

If someone can count how many times I said Blizzara in this chapter, I will give you a cookie!

So ends the Earth arc! For real! We're moving onto the Water arc next, just to tell you. And for the love of crap: YES, that's where we're going to be meeting Pinkie Pie. Yeah, I know, it only took me five thousand years to put her in the story, but alas, here you are.

Next act is gonna change some shit, man! It'll be slightly weird, but goddammit, if Hideo Kojima could do it in Metal Gear, then so can I! No, that was a joke. The story will still be simple.

BTW, anyone play MGS5 yet? It's very good, but don't trust Konami after this. They're a bunch of retards. I mean, for starters they cancelled Silent Hills for a Silent Hill slot machine, then they fired Kojima because MGS5 was starting to get too expensive. Word of advice: Don't buy anything from them ever again!
