Goku let out a deafening draconic roar as she took off towards the sin black Alicorn in front of her, claws aimed right at her armor covered chest. Nightmare Moon flared her winds and ascended into the air, letting the Kirin slam into the ground where the Elements were. Goku let out a cry of fear as she blew the dust away from her wings, fearful that she had hit one of the Elements. To her immense relief, she none of the stones looked to be shattered, still having the cracks Twilight had given them while she was trying to summon them.

“My my, aren’t we the eager little filly?” Nightmare Moon asked slyly, hovering above the crimson Kirin. “You should be more careful with controlling that excitement. It almost led you to destroying your precious Elements, and then you’d have no hope in defeating me.”

Goku said nothing, just letting out a deep rumbling around as she flared her wings and took off after Nightmare Moon. When she was within range, she suddenly vanished in a red flash before reappearing behind nightmare Moon. Intertwining her claws, she formed them into a large double fist and smashed it into the back of Nightmare Moon’s armored head. The blow was enough to stun her, allowing Goku to reappear behind her and knee the larger mare in the lower part of her armored stomach, causing her to cough up blood. Goku then slashed her across the face before sending her flying off with a hard tail smack.

Nightmare Moon grunted as she felt the pain radiate throughout her head, face and stomach, but she fought it down, teleporting away in a flash of turquoise blue magic. Goku stopped just as she was flying towards the dark mare again, and looked around frantically for her nemesis. A chilling laughed echoed about the room, sending a fearful shiver down Goku’s spine. She ignored it however, and focused in detecting her foe.

“Tartarus’s Wheel: Scattered Crimson Petals!” Suddenly she felt a cold presence appear behind her, and, out of pure instinct, she spun around with her wings enclosed around her. A flock of deep scarlet arrows was heading for her, and thanks to the thick layer of skin in her wings, they didn’t to much damage. This however, left Nightmare Moon to be able to shoot a bolt of magic at the pale white Kirin, to which she retaliated with a stream of blazing golden fire. To the sin black Alicorn’s shock, the fire managed to withstand her magical blast, and a loud explosion resounded soon after.

“I’m not done yet!” Goku shouted, using the smoke to race at Nightmare Moon and take her by surprise. With a roar, she slammed her claws into the larger mare’s stomach, causing her to let out a scream of pain. Nightmare Moon was quick to fight it off however, pushing the smaller mare off of her and yanking her claws out. Spreading her wings out, she swung her left one out at Goku in an uppercut slashed, driving her largest wing claw from her stomach and up her chest.

“Tartarus’s Wheel: Slash of Blood!” It was now Goku’s turn to scream as Nightmare Moon delivered an ‘x’ shaped slashed in the mare’s chest, causing blood to fly from her wound. As she spat out a glob of blood, the crimson Kirin felt her muzzle explode her pain as Nightmare Moon slammed an armored hoof into her face, almost knocking her out. As she fell to the ground, she felt an aura of magic grab her by her scaly tail skirt before she was flown around in the air. She was suddenly let go, and plummeted towards the ground, crashing into it without resounding boom and causing dust to fly everywhere.

“Dear me…that was quite the attack that you had pulled on me.” Nightmare Moon said, locking the blood form her lips. “I must admit, I was caught the slightest bit off guard when you did that, but it’s nothing that wasn’t used on my before.”

“Gah…! Son of a bitch…!” Goku grunted, rising up to her haunches. She tentatively put a claw to her chest and her barrel, feeling the blood staining her already red coat. “You…you just stabbed me! You almost sliced my stomach open!”

“And? You had attempted to rip mine open as well.” Nightmare Moon retorted, letting out a snort. “I think that’s a far trade to me, don’t you think?”

“Fair trade? I’ll show you a fair trade!” Goku shouted, shooting up to her clawed feet and lashing her tail out. In a swirl of golden, she vanished form the crater that she made and appeared behind Nightmare Moon, her bladed tail engulfed in flames. “Super Saiyan Kirin: Golden Fire Tail!”

Doing a front flip, the pale white Kirin swung her tail downward in an attempt to give a deep slash to Nightmare Moon’s back. She immediately regretted that action the instant she felt one of the sin black Alicorn’s wing claws slice into her own back, before slicing upward. Nightmare Moon then proceeded to spin her whole body around and deliver a slash to Goku, who was already up righting herself to get away from the larger mare.

“Tartarus’s Wheel: Crimson Sword Flock!” Goku cried out as the flock of crimson swords impaled themselves into her, sliced deep into unprotected stomach and chest due to how close they were. This allowed Nightmare Moon to launch her next attack, and she ignited her horn, encasing both of Goku’s feathered dragon wings and proceeded to slam one of her knees into her chin. The younger mare let out a loud scream of agony as pain exploded throughout her muzzle and head, leaving her in a daze. With a sadistic laugh, Nightmare Moon lashed her tail out and let it strike the center of Goku’s back, sending her crashing into the smooth, yet painfully hard icy floor.

Gritting her teeth, Goku growled and shoot her draconic tail upward and colliding it with Nightmare Moon’s incoming swords. This in turn caused Nightmare Moon to fly back, allowing Goku to spin around and blast the sin black with a stream of crimson flames. However, that was not the only attack the pale white Kirin had in store for her.

“Super Saiyan Kirin: Final Flash!” As Nightmare Moon sailed away, Goku shot both of her golden claws outward, and a flash of golden light shot from them and ascended towards her enemy. Just before she was about to hit, Nightmare Moon smirked and vanished in a flash of crimson light, and it was at that moment that Goku realized the mistake she had made. Goku flared her wings in an effort to fly out of the way of the sin black Alicorn’s next attack, but she wasn’t quick enough.

With a loud neigh, Nightmare Moon blasted the pale white Kirin away from her and into the highest wall, almost sending her right through it. As the smoke enveloped her, Goku suddenly emerged from the smoke, looking like she was going to throw up from the impact. She hit the ground with a hard slam, leaving an Alicorn sized crater in her wake. Goku groaned in agony as her body twitched and spasmed on the ground, while Nightmare Moon hovered above her.

“Awww, what’s the matter little hatchling? Not able to keep up with the famous Mare on the Moon anymore?” Nightmare Moon asked teasingly, her tone so sweet that it made Goku’s stomach churn. “Poor dear…it looks like you weren’t to live up to your title as a member of the Secret Seven Clans after all.”

“Y-you…shut the bucking hay up!” Goku spat venomously, tearing herself from out of her crater. “If you seriously think that this is all that I have up my arsenal, then you are sorely mistaken Nightmare Moon! The only reason that you’re thinking what you are now is because, unlike me, you’re not taking this fight seriously!”

Nightmare Moon bust out laughing, putting a hoof to her armored chest. “I’m not taking the fight seriously? What about you my dear? You’re giving me everything that you have, and you’re not even at full power like I am.”

“Not at full power? Are you seriously telling me that right now?” Goku asked, shaking her head incredulously. “I am most certainly going all out at you! You just don’t see it because you’re so focused on ripping me apart! Maybe if you stop acting so sadistic and actually focus on taking me seriously, you may see the damn difference!”

“Oh, really now? Well then little hatchling, if that’s how you want it, then that’s exactly what you will get. I have been meaning to show off more of my skill to you anyway.” Nightmare Moon replied, giving a little flick of her ethereal tail skirt. “I just wonder if the same thing can be said for your little friends while they’re going against my dear creations. That’d be very unfortunate for you if it went the other way around.”

Goku said nothing, just giving the ground another tail slap as she flared her wings her emerald red eyes blazing brightly. With a golden aura of power roaring off of her she let out a roar and once gain hurled herself at Nightmare Moon. The sin black Alicorn smirked and spread her own wings, charging at the crimson Kirin and meeting her at the middle of the room, before a huge clang and an explosion rang out.

Rarity hissed as she soared down towards her hybrid enemy, both of their curved horns clashing loudly as sparks flew from them. The mares hissed and snarled at one another as they fought for dominance, their cat-like eyes blazing with fury and auras swirling with power. They eventually separated, before Insipid lunged for Rarity, claws and teeth bared as her wings beat on either side of her. Rarity bared her fangs and let her own cloven hooves clash with Insipid’s claws as she tried to slice her throat out. At one point, Insipid tried to deliver a tail swipe to Rarity’s face, but the ghostly white bat winged Unicorns wings deflected the attack and bounced it back. With a graceful spin, Rarity let her extended tail skirt collided with Insipid’s face, letting her fly across the room and skid across the ground.

“Cifer Belle Machine Gun: Laser Flock!” Rarity shouted loudly, pointing her sharpened horn at Insipid and sending a flock of spear like lasers at her. Insipid’s ears pricked, and she looked up to see the attacks coming at her. With a burst of agility, she flapped her wings and dodged the attacks, letting them stab and explode into the smooth icy ground.

“You’ll have to be quicker than that my dear!” Insipid shouted, her midnight blue eyes glowing as she inhaled. “Roar of the Crystal Ice Dragoness!”

To Rarity’s shock, a blast of icy midnight blue power burst out of Insipid’s mouth, glittering in the small light that was in their fight room. Flaring her bat wings, Rarity flew to the side as the attack collided with the locked door. Undeterred, Insipid kept her attack going, letting it cover one of the walls and with its icy power as Rarity flew around her. Stopping temporarily, Insipid resorted to shooting off blasts of the icy power at her opponent. This proved to be much more difficult for Rarity to dodge them, and she had to resort to using her wings to block them from hitting her.

‘It’s a good thing these wings of mine are stronger than they look, and I can use them for offensive and defensive strategies.’ The pale white Unicorn thought to herself, ducking a blast that was aimed at her face. ‘If it was just used for flight, then I’d be at a bit of a disadvantage here.’

With a flap of her wings, Rarity ascended into the air and let herself hover above Insipid, who was glaring back up at her with bared canines. Giving a defiant hiss back at her, Rarity folded her wings and dived down towards her, her horn ignited with sea green energy.

“Take this!” She shouted as she unleashed her attack. “Cifer Belle Machine Gun: Sea Green Laser!”

Insipid growled and flew back from the attack, watching as it tore into the ground below them and left a deep line within it. As Rarity paused in her attack, Insipid prepared to blast her away again, only to find herself dodging several more blasts of laser-like energy. These attacks struck into the windows and roof of the newly fixed room, stirring a deep anger inside of the obsidian black mare.

“Watch where you are aiming that horn of yours you brute!” She shouted, hovering above Rarity as she glared down at her. “Queen Moon had just finished primping this entire castle up hours before you even got here! If you go on and keep destroying it, it’ll be like it was all a waste of time for her!”

“Oh, don’t you go giving me that careful nonsense!” Rarity spat, lashing her tail skirt out. “Are you even looking at the room right now?! The rooms are repairing themselves in front of both of us! It is grossly apparent that so called Queen of yours had taken her time in making sure that this castle was put in the upmost condition! Possibly so she won’t have to worry about repairing her in her little future reign, which, by the way, will not happen!”

“Like I care about whether this castle is able to fix itself or not! I still care as to whether or not divine parts of this castle are being destroyed!” Insipid shouted. “And our Queen’s reign most certainly will happen! Right after me and the rest of the Savage Six get rid of the seven of you, especially that horrid Thestral front of yours! Wing Attack of the Crystal Ice Dragoness!”

Flaring her feathered wings, Insipid shot down a flock of blue icy wing attacks down at an enraged Rarity, who flipped and spun through the air. Her grace and agility allowed her to prevent herself from being sliced in half by Insipid’s attacks, much to Insipid’s chagrin. As she recovered from her acrobatic moment, she found herself clashing horns with Insipid’s, sparks bursting from the steely edges once more. With a growl, Rarity pushed back against Insipid with such force that it caused her to stumble.

“Don’t you dare talk about Goku that way you ruffian!” Rarity screeched, spinning around and bucking Insipid in her chest. “She may have tried to crush me with a giant tree before we sailed across the waters of this forest, but that doesn’t mean that I’ll let you badmouth her like that! I will not tolerate any disrespect sent to any of my friends, including Goku, especially if it’s from somepony like you!”

Stomping her hooves, Rarity flew at Insipid, swinging her wings forward and letting sea green wing slices emit from her wings. Seeing them coming, Insipid ignite her horn and shot out large crystalized blasts of magic at Rarity’s own. Multiple explosions rung through the air, and Rarity used the cover of the smoke to try to take Insipid by surprise and pull of a sneak attack. Alas, it was not to be, for Insipid’s leonine ears allowed her to hear Rarity coming, and let her hoof collide with the side of Rarity’s face just as she was about to sock the leonine mare.

“You think you can try some simple sneak attack on me and expect me not to see it coming?!” Insipid snarled, leaping in the air and kicking Rarity across the floor. “I could hear you zooming around me before you even positioned yourself!”

Rarity picked herself up from off the ground, spitting out blood as she did so. “Oh really? And just how were you able to do something like that?”

“You mean you haven’t figured it out already? You’re even slower than I thought you were.” Insipid snorted, ignoring the tick mark that formed on Rarity’s forehead. “It’s all thanks to my hybrid form that my hearing and sight is enhanced. Due to the powers that I inherited, like many of the Crystal Ponies in the Crystal Empire, my five senses are sharpened considerably to the point where they can be on par with that of a dragon’s.” She paused as one of her ears flicked. “Then again, my final form is half dragon, so I suppose that somewhat counts.”

Rarity’s eyes went wide. “W-wait, what?”

In a burst of midnight blue magic, Insipid vanished and reappeared in front of Rarity, driving her hindhooves deep into her face. As Rarity skidded across the floor, she felt herself being grabbed by her tails skirt and yanking her back. Leaping in the air, Insipid did a rather athletic spin kick to Rarity’s face, before driving her forehoof into her back as she slammed into the wall. Growling, Insipid flared her wings and shot towards Rarity, who was imbedded into the wall.

“N-not so fast!” Rarity stammered out, her horn flaring as she pointed it at Insipid. “Cifer Belle Machine Gun: Sea Green Laser Flock!”

“Oh, you’re not going to get the drop on me like that again!”Insipid shouted. “Blazing Horn of the Crystal Ice Dragoness!”

With the tip of her horn swirling with magic, Insipid blasted her attack at Rarity’s own flock of attacks, the former’s being large enough to counter the latter’s. Another explosion rung through the air, this one bigger than the last. At one point, one of Rarity’s attack’s managed to get past Insipid’s own, and she found herself getting pierced through the stomach. She was sent flying away from the smoke enveloped Rarity, and she rolled across the ground, blood seeping from the gaping hole wound.

“Dammit, that brute got me!”Insipid hissed as she brought a paw to her stomach. “She almost got me where my precious Life Force Gemstone was! Oh, she’s going to pay for that one!”

“Are you sure you should be worrying about that dearie?” An elegant voice asked form within the smoke as it cleared. “I just hit you in a vital part where you’d surely be weakened…is a gem really something you should be concerned with?”

Insipid shot up to her hooves and roared at Rarity. “Of course, it is you idiot! It’s the one thing that’s keeping me up and going in this form! The very form that my beloved Queen blessed me with since I last had it! If I let it get destroyed, then I’ll not only lose this fight, but this form will vanish as well!”

There was a pregnant pause as Rarity blinked, taking in what the hybrid obsidian winged Unicorn had said. Once it had sunk in, she blinked a few more times before asking, “That…that gem actually helps you keep this form? The very form that you’re containing right now?”

“Yes, it does! And as long as I can keep it from being damaged, I’ll be able to use my powers to rip those wings off your back!”Insipid snorted. “Not like it’s going to matter, since you’re not going to be able to beat me anyway!”

“Oh, really now?” Rarity asked, a small, yet sly smirk coming to her fanged muzzle. “You really think that I won’t be able to defeat you now? Especially after that little bit of information you just so generously and stupidly spilled to me? I hate to say it darling, but that’s going to be your undoing.”

“My undoing?!” Insipid shouted incredulously. “Underestimating me and making a mockery out of me will be your undoing if you keep it up! Trust me, you keep pushing my buttons, and I’ll show you who’s the real stupid one!”

“Well then…” Rarity said smoothly. “…I guess we’ll just have to see how far I can push you before that stupidly of yours finally gets the better of you.”

Insipid snarled loudly, her curbed leonine claws digging into the ground beneath them. “Come and try it!”

Grayscale Force’s wolfish ears filled with the sound of the chirping lightning as she crouched down, watching as a Laser Wisp Molded Rainbow Dash flew towards her. The athlete whinnied loudly as she drew her hoof forward, aiming right for Grayscale’s face, only for it to be blocked by her enemy. Grayscale’s claws clenched around Rainbow’s hoof, preventing her from escaping as she held out her other paw lightning appearing in it. It blasted right into Rainbow Dash, sending her flying away as her hoof was raked by Grayscale’s claws. Just as the lightning was about to send her into the wall, Rainbow Dash vanished in a flash of light, letting the lightning slam into the wall and destroy it. It didn’t really matter though, for the wall immediately began to fix itself, as if it was never hit in the first place.

“Sorry Gray, but you’re going to need to try better than that!” Rainbow Dash shouted, her bright yellow eyes flashing as she zoomed towards Grayscale. “A little bolt of lightning is going to be able to stop me in this form!”

Grayscale snorted, undeterred by Rainbow’s last second move. “We’ll see about that Dash.”

“Laser Wisp!” Rainbow Dash shouted, speeding towards the wolfish Pegasus mare and colliding with her. Grayscale grunted as she felt her armored forehooves shake under the impact, but the armor did not give in, and she sent Dash careening back. With her paws outstretched, she blasts several shots of lighting at Dash as she sped and zoomed throughout the battle room, the sounds of explosions making the room shake. When Rainbow Dash got within range of her, she shot a laser-like blasts of energy at Grayscale, who effortlessly dodged to the side as he pierced straight through the window behind her.

“You do realize that this room isn’t going to really collapse in on itself no matter what attack you try to dish out on me, right?” Grayscale asked uncaringly. “Queen Moon specifically made it as to where practically nothing can destroy it. So, she doesn’t have to worry about the castle possibly being destroyed.”

“You really think that I give a shit about that?!” Rainbow Dash shouted, shooting several more beams of lasers at the grayish azure Pegasus. They barely managed to connect as Grayscale simply vanished and reappeared in a flash of lightning every several seconds. “The only thing I care about is kicking your ass so I can get that Element and beat Nightmare Moon!”

“Yeah, I’m aware of that,” Grayscale murmured, evading another laser blast. “Still, there’s no way that I’m going to let you win this fight! Thunder Omega: Lightning Strike!”

Flaring her wings, Grayscale flew towards Rainbow Dash, shooting a huge bolt of lightning at the Laser Wisp Pegasus, aiming right for her chest. Rainbow Dash shot her own forelegs out, and laser-like blast of wisp energy clashed with Grayscale’s lighting attack. The explosion that came afterward allowed Rainbow Dash to vanished within the smoke and try to pull off a sneak attack onto Grayscale. She shot a magical blast of energy at the wolfish Pegasus, and sent her crashing down into the floor, leaving a large crater. Grayscale let out a mixture of a scream and a doggish cry at the sudden move, and she gritted her teeth as she attempted to get back up.

“How’d you like that?!” Rainbow Dash shouted, giving her wings a hard flap. “There’s plenty more where that came from!”

With those words, Rainbow Dash shot a flock of energy blasts at Grayscale, presuming to herself that she was still down on the floor. More smoke and dust rose from the area, enveloping most of the area that both of the mares were in. As Rainbow Dash continued with her assault, she didn’t notice the flash of light coming from the smoke

“Thunder Omega: Chain of Lightning!”

The next thing that Rainbow Dash knew, something was wrapping around her, and sending volts of electricity through her body. The Laser Wisp mare let out a scream of agony as the lightning coiled around her body like the tail of a dragon. With a heave it pulled her into the air and slammed into the ground, the very same part where she was making Grayscale’s crater. It then continued to throw the mare all across the ground, crating even more craters before driving her right into the middle of the room.

“Ah, w-w-what the hay?!” Rainbow Dash grunted, opening her glowing yellow eyes and looking up in the air. To her shock, she saw Grayscale hovering above her, a bit of steam or smoke coming out form where her armor covered her back. “You’re still moving?!”

“Of course, I am, what do you think I am? A helpless newborn pup?” Grayscale asked, baring her teeth down at the electrified mare. “Did you really believe that I was going to stay down after just that one attack? I can move just as fast as you can, maybe not in the same way, but certainly at the same speed! You may want to not waste all of that time talking more time actually doing something.”

“What did you just say?!” Rainbow Dash shouted, ripping herself out of the ground. “Of course, I was dishing myself out on you! I literally had you on the ground and at my mercy just a few seconds ago!”

“Yes, you did, until you started wasting that bit of time bragging.” Grayscale retorted, folding her forearms. “It may have just been for a few moments, but that was all the time that I needed to get my ass out of there and away from your line of fire.” Her eyes flashed a bright magenta pink as she raised her claws into the air. “And now…I’ll pay you back for that little laser shower a hundred times fold! Thunder Omega: Lightning Shower!”

A large sphere of electricity appeared in Grayscale’s claws, growing in size before it she threw it down towards Rainbow Dash. The moment she did, it split apart in multiple bolts of lightning that shot down towards Rainbow Dash, chirping loudly in the process. Rainbow Dash’s eyes bulged out as she zoomed throughout the room, narrowly evading the lightning bolts as they struck the ground around her. It was only thanks to the speed her Laser Wisp Mode granted her that kept her from being able keep from being electrocuted again.

“You think you can keep my flying like this?!” Rainbow Dash growled, looking back over at Grayscale. “Think again ya bitchy mutt!”

Spinning around, Rainbow Dash hot another barrage of lasers at Grayscale sending her shooting right into the roof above them. Grayscale grunted from the force of the attack, but her armor managed to protect her from suffering any fatal injuries. With a snarl, she shot town towards the Laser Wisp Pegasus both of her forehooves condensing orbs of chirping lightning. Rainbow Dash shot towards her without hesitation, holding orbs of laser-like energy that she let collided with Grayscale’s lightning attack. There was a brief power struggle before a huge explosion rose from the clashing mares, sending them flying back from one another and crashing into the walls.

“Dammit, I was hoping that last attack would’ve been enough to finish you.” Rainbow Dash grunted in disappointment. “It looks like I’ll have to take this up a notch here…”

“That last move you shot at me must’ve but me in more shock than I thought.” Grayscale grunted, one of her paws picking at her ear. “I can still hear the ringing in my ears…you almost made me go deaf for a second there.”

“Well that makes it all the easier for me to knock the teeth right out of your mouth!” Rainbow Dash shouted, slamming a hoof down onto the ground. “Trying to use the same attack that I used on you, that is so not cool!”

“Technically, I didn’t use the exact same move that you did on me, and I certainly didn’t just strike you in your back.” Grayscale murmured. “Plus, I’m using lightning, while your using powers that come from aliens of all things, creatures from an entirely different planet. So you really don’t have any reason to think that I ripped off your own attack, especially since I also gave a name for my own technique.”

“Y-yeah well…y-you still did rip it off on me!” Rainbow Dash said, sputtering a bit as her face flushed in embarrassment. “And I’m going to make you pay for it!”

Grayscale sighed, rolling her eyes as she flicked her wolfish tail. “Whatever, I really don’t care what you think I did. All I care about is getting rid of you, so I don’t have to hear that loudmouth of yours…seriously, you are really getting on my nerves.”

“The feeling is mutual from here Grayscale, trust me on that.” Rainbow Dash snorted, pawing the ground as she flared her wings. “What do you say that we stop with our little warm up and we actually start fighting like real Pegasi?”

“Now that I can agree on.” Grayscale said, unsheathing her claws as she bared her teeth. “I just hope your prepared to have your throat out. Because trust me, that will not be a pleasant experience for you.”

“Oh, I know that it won’t, because I’m not letting you get that luxury!” Rainbow chuckled. “All I’m hoping for is that your prepared to be sent off to the other end of Equestria. And trust me, that is going to go off into with a Sonic Rainboom!”

Author's Notes:

Okay, there' something that I forgot to mention in the last blog post on Reinforcements, which ties into me saying that there'd be cuteness in between the fights in Ponyville and in the newly fixed Dark Castle. Before I had posted this chapter, I went with the decision to add up to three or maybe even four cutscenes the will show the battles and the confrontations with the Main Six, the Light and Dark Armies, and the residents of Ponyville. I looked through this last chapter, I believe that it worked out well enough, so I'll be going with that plan during the final battles before we finally see Queen Luna freed from the clutches of Nightmare Moon. Although, since I'm going with that routine, the next half of the next chapter after the last one I'm going to be writing after this, will probably have only one of the Main Seven in it, and after I get past that part, I'll go back to the fights happening back in Ponyville. That part of the chapter may be a bit harder than the rest, but I know it'll be far less harder than be editing the last few chapters of Luna's return to Equestria!!! Though, we'll get to that hurdle when we get there, for now, I hope you enjoy this chapter and the upcoming ones!!! Tune in next time for the second half of the Main Seven's fight, before we start to get back to Ponyville!!!
