Chapter 1: Cozy Glow The Helper

Cozy Glow delivered the mail for Princess Twilight or Headmare Twilight in this case, she really didn't know what she should call her. She got the mail from Derpy, and helped a bunch of students with their problems along the way to the office.

"The mail's here already? What time is it?! I'm late for my class's field trip to Cloudsdale!" Twilight began panting.

Cozy Glow then calmed Twilight down and began speaking to her calmly "Don't worry. I asked Professor Rainbow Dash to cover for you."

"And she said yes?" Twilight asked in a questioning tone.

"Uh-huh. I told her how busy you are and how much her loyalty meant to you. I also color-coded your teaching schedule by friendship element and cataloged all the magical artifacts in the school. I hope that's okay." Cozy Glow explained before getting a bit nervous as she didn't know if she was supposed to do that or not.

"Okay, Cozy Glow that's fantastic you're like my right hoof pony." Twilight said happily.

"It's like you taught me. Helping is what friendship's all about." Cozy Glow explained happily flying around the office.

"Exactly. And hopefully my class is learning that on their field trip right now." Twilight said in confirmation.

"I heard they might do some sightseeing first." Cozy Glow said.

Meanwhile, In Cloudsdale

"Ta-da ! The Pegasus Weather Factory!" Rainbow Dash said "Every drop of rain or flake of snow comes from there."

The students awed.

"I know, right? " Rainbow said " Hey ! The cool stuff's over here!"

"Wow ! I've never stood on a cloud before . " Ocellus exclaimed .

" You can't normally. But for our trip I cast a spell that lets us walk like pegasi " Starlight explianed walking on the cloud.

"Hey Yona ! Come check out this view !" Gallus said " Unless you're too scared."

"Yona not scared. " Yona said . All of a sudden Yona fell through the cloud.

"Now Yona scared!"

The others looked shocked but then the other non flying creatures fell through the clouds .

"Come on" Rainbow Dash said "We gotta catch 'em "
Starlight and The creatures falling screamed but they all got caught. Yona started screaming but she got caught by Ocellus and Gallus .

"Gotcha ! " Gallus said .

" It's okay, Yona." Ocellus said "You like flying ,remember?"

"Flying, not falling " Yona replies as Ocellus and Gallus put her on the ground with a "thud". Yona starts kissing the floor .

" I don't understand " Starlight said "It's like my spell stopped working. That's … never happened before."

After a while the door opened with Rainbow Dash and Starlight rushing in.

"We have an emergency." Starlight said worried.

"The students dropped out of the sky." Rainbow Dash said scared.

Cozy Glow's eyes then widened. "What are they all okay? She asked very worried about her friends.

"Slow down tell me exactly what happened." Twilight said calmly.

"I cast a spell for our field trip to Cloudsdale, but my magic just failed." Starlight explained.

Rainbow Dash backing Starlight up then said "We barely caught everypony in time!"

Twilight then embraced Starlight making the latter blush, Cozy Glow watched this raising an eyebrow.

"I'm glad you're all okay, but I'm sure it's nothing to worry about, Starlight. Maybe you did your spell wrong. Let's take a look." Twilight said happily making Starlight frown annoyed while Cozy Glow got suspicious Starlight never does her spells wrong.

Twilight tries to take a book from a shelf but it drops to the ground .

"I didn't drop that book." Twilight said .

"Maybe you did your spell wrong." Starlight said sarcastically, obviously bothered by Twilight's comment from earlier .

Now Cozy Glow was worried this cannot be a coincidence.

Then they hear a thud from outside .

"Ow!" Rarity exclaimed .

The door opens and Fluttershy and Rarity come in.

" Rarity ran into the door " Fluttershy said .

"My magic is go-o-one ! " Rarity said , sobbing " I even had to use my hooves to coil my tail!"

" Still think there's nothing to worry about ? " Rainbow Dash asked Twilight.

"That that doesn't make any sense" Twilight said "Magic can't just disappear . Something has to be causing this."

" Um ,didn't we learn in class about a creature that eats magic ? Ter,Tee….Tir- something ? " Cozy Glow said .

Fluttershy gasped "Tirek!"

Spike then came inside choking, Cozy Glow was worried so she grabbed on to the small dragon and used the heimlich mannuver getting the letter out of his mouth.

"Thanks I never got a letter stuck there before." Spike thanked Cozy Glow.

"It's from Princess Celestia we've all been gathered to an emergency meeting at Canterlot, look." Spike explained holding out the letter.

Twilight tries to levitate the scroll but her spell fails.

"I'm pretty sure I know what it is about." Twilight said .

Later, In Canterlot.

"Throughout our city, ponies have been reporting tales of their magic failing." Princess Celestia said "Spells going wrong . Potions not working."

"Even raising the moon has become difficult. Are there similar troubles in Ponyville?" Princess Luna asked Twilight .

"Yes . We experienced it first hoof." Twilight replied.

"It's the same in my kingdom." Princess Cadance said "The Crystal Heart seems safe for now, but I worry if this continues."

Then the door opened and a mail pony came in with a letter.

"Letter for the princess from Star Swirl the Bearded!" The mail pony said .

"Gasp! It is even more terrible than we feared!" Princess Celestia exclaimed "Magic is disappearing all across Equestria!"

The ponies gasped.

"Star Swirl believes the power will drain from our land in three days." Princess Celestia said reading the letter "First , unicorn magic and spells will fail."

"That's what's happening now!" Starlight exclaimed.

"On the second day,creatures will lose their magical abilities." Princess Celestia continued .

Fluttershy gasped. "Oh no!"

"But why is this happening now?" Princess Cadance asked scared.

"That's the worst part." Princess Luna said "We have no idea."

"Has anypony checked on Tirek?" Twilight asked.

"You mean the big, red, scary centaur who eats magic?" Pinkie Pie asked her "Why would we wa— Ohhhh . Riiiiight."

"If he has found some way to escape his prison or work from within it, he could be responsible for this." Princess Celestia said putting a hoof on her chin.

"That is the best explanation so far." Princess Luna said " Somepony should investigate "

"We'll go." Twilight said happily.

"Oh, no-no-no-no-no-no." Rarity said "Not without us , you wo— Wait . Did you say "we"?"

"I've finally learned that it's okay to count on your friends for help." Twilight explained "Um, you do want to come, right?"

"Uh, duh!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed flying up to Twilight.

"Thank you all." Princess Celestia said "We will search for ways to protect Equestria in your absence."

"Be careful . Tartarus has changed since you were there." Princess Luna said "It now holds many dangerous creatures, and you won't be able to rely on your magic."

" With her friends by her side , she won't have to." Applejack said as she and the rest of the Mane 6 embraced Twilight.

Author's Notes:

I know this seems similar to the original episode but don't worry changes will come, also I am rewriting Season 9 after this with my own episodes as well.

Chapter 2: The Journey To Tartarus Begins

Later,At The School of Friendship

"Ok.I left you my lesson plan,all my student files and my annotated syllabus notes." Twilight said "If anything goes wrong, get Celestia."

"Got it!" Starlight replied.

"Maybe I should just close the school and send my students home." Twilight said nervously walking to the school.

"Don't worry,Twilight. I'll keep the students safe." Starlight stopped Twilight.

"I'm sure you'll be an excellent temporary headmare, Starlight" Cozy Glow said.

"Plus, she'll have you to help her."Twilight added.

"Oh,golly,yes! I promise I'll be the best assistant ever!"Cozy said.

Starlight smiled at Cozy then turned towards Twilight.

"Would you go save Equestria already?" Starlight said .

"Okay.Cozy packed us all up for a trip to bad guy central ." Spike said.

"Don't forget the sandwiches.I marked whose is whose,just in case." Cozy Glow replied .

"That is do sweet of you,Cozy!" Starlight said.

"If you want we can start working on your subsitute headmare plans right now." Cozy said.

"Okay." Starilght replied. Cozy, Starlight and The Mane 5 walk away leaving Twilight and Spike behind.

"See? Nothing to worry about."Twilight said "Tell me there is nothing to worry about."

Spike sighs in exasperation.

The next morning ,at the School of Friendship Cozy Glow was flying through the coridors, looking very stressed until she bumped into a cyan unicorn filly named Clear Sky.

"Oh hey Clear Sky, nice to see you but I'm in a bit of a hurry." Cozy Glow said in a worried tone.

"This will only take a minute I got this letter from Starlight Glimmer." Clear Sky said using her magic to give the letter to Cozy Glow.

Cozy Glow was shocked at what she read "She left me in charge, that's odd."

Clear Sky then looked shocked as well "I know but I know you'll do great Cozy Glow."

"Thanks Clear Sky." Cozy Glow said before the two parted ways.

2 hours later, Cozy Glow was addressing the students of the School of Friendship.

"Good morning, friendship students! We all know that Professor Sparkle left Starlight Glimmer in charge so I'm sure most of you were shocked when you couldn't see her anywhere. I was shocked too until I received a letter from Starlight addressed to me two hours ago." Cozy said before reading the letter out loud to everyone. "I have to go Twilight needs my help I know the school is in good hands with you Cozy."

"Why'd she change her mind, why did Starlight leave now instead of saying goodbye to us, it seems strange." Smolder asked suspicious of the whole thing.

"She probably left in a hurry." Cozy Glow guessed.

"I guess that makes sense." Sandbar pondered.

"Besides you all are such good friends. And I'm grateful because it will be awfully hard running a whole school alone." Cozy continued her speech " Can I count on each of you to help me? "

The students started cheering.
"Thank you so much!" Cozy Glow said "It's just like our professors taught us. Together, we can get through anything!"

Elsewhere,Twilight and her friends were traveling to Tartarus.

" I have had it with these horrible flies!" Rarity whined "I miss my magic! "

"Have you tried using your tail to shoo them away?" Twilight said.

"Bite your tongue!"Rarity said holding her tail "It's for decorative purposes only!"

"Hey!I didn't know we packed green cupcakes." Pinkie said.

"Um, we didn't."Fluttershy said. "They must've gone bad without magic to keep them cold."

" "Magic" this, "magic" that. We don't need magic to go on a little hike! " Rainbow Dash complained.

Then it started to rain.

" You were saying? " Rarity asked her.

" You just need to think more like Earth ponies, y'all."Applejack said "Granny's "Apple Core No-Bite-No-More"! That'll keep the flies off."

Everyone put on some of the apple fat in disgust.

"Ugh!"Pinkie Pie said "It smells just like it looks!"

"Even if our food's spoiled, these blueberries are still good to eat." Fluttershy said.

"Too bad we can't do anything about the rainstorm." Spike said.

"I can't stop that storm by myself, but I can still help!" Rainbow Dash said.Then,she brought down some clouds to shelter them.

"I think we have all the magic we need right here." Twilight said "Not that I don't want to get it back. Heh, Let's go!"

Author's Notes:

So who do you think the villain is?

Chapter 3: Who stole the magic.

In the evening ,At the School of Friendship Sandbar was walking towards the libary to meet his friends when he overheard some mares talking amongst themselves.

"Cozy Glow baked our class cupcakes today!" The first one said.

"And she made all of us friendship bracelets! "The second one said, a few seconds later.

"She's the nicest pony I've ever met."The third one said." I'm so glad she's headmare!"

"Uh, temporary headmare? Right, guys?" Sandbar said.

"Oh, oh, of course, but if Twilight takes her time coming back, I won't mind." the first mare answered.

All three of them started laughing,Sandbar noticed that Patty started laughing a bit later then the others.The he arrived at the libary and opened the door.

"Finally! We thought you forgot about study club." Silverstream said.

"Sorry I'm late." Sandbar said "Cozy Glow gave our class tickets to a Sapphire Shores concert in Ponyville tonight."

"You get the feeling Cozy's trying too hard to make us like her?" Gallus asked.

"Or maybe she just wants to help us keep our minds off of how scary it is that magic's disappearing."Ocellus said.

All of them nodded in agreement.Then they noticed that Cozy Glow was in the library too,organizing a few books.

"Why Cozy pony in the libary so late at night?" Yona asked

"Let's go ask her"Gallus said but before they could approach her,Cozy flew out of the libary towards Twilight's Office and the Young Six started following her.

Meanwhile, Twilight and her friends had reached the gates of Tartarus.

"This is the only door to Tartarus."Twilight said "The good news is the seal isn't broken, so we know Tirek didn't escape."

"Let me guess." Applejack said "You got bad news, too?"

"Last time I was here, I had to use magic to get in." Twilight said "And according to Star Swirl, all unicorn magic was gone by yesterday's sunset."

"Maybe he was wrong." Rainbow Dash said.Twilight tried to open the door but failed.

"Don't worry, Twilight. I got this." Pinkie Pie said,then she knocked on the door. "Free pizza delivery!"

After a moment of silence, Pinkie Pie spoke.

"Huh. Always worked before." Pinkie said "Oh, well."

"Did any of y'all pack somethin' that could actually help?" Applejack asked.

"These all do magic, but not the kind we're looking for, I'm afraid." Rarity said looking at her own mane equipment.

"How about this?" Spike asked.

"The Key of Unfettered Entrance!" Twilight exclaimed " Where did you find this, Spike?"

"In your bag." Spike answered "Cozy Glow must've packed it for you."

"She really did think of everything." Twilight said.

"Um, what does it do?" Fluttershy asked.

"It can magically open any door." Twilight said "And since artifacts like this haven't lost their power yet... "

Twilight put the key in then it opened the door.Twilight tried to put it in her bag with her mouth put she accidentally dropped it to the ground and then the key shattered

"Oops" Twilight said as they all got in.The door closed behind them.

Cozy Glow walked into Twilight's Office while the Young 6 watched and found Chancellor Neighsay sitting in Twilight's chair,much to the surprise of her and the Young 6.

"So this is who Starlight left in charge in her place before she joined Twilight and her friends ?" Chancellor Neighsay said.

"Yes but how do you know about that?" Cozy Glow said.

"I had some inside help." Chancellor Neighsay said.

"Um....is there anything I can do for you?" Cozy asked.

"That won't be necessary. Twilight's folly stops here." Chancellor Neighsay said. "As of now, I am headstallion. And I have quite a few changes to make."

Meanwhile,In Tartarus

"If all these monsters lost their magic, then getting past Cerberus should be easy-peasy!" Pinkie Pie said.She turned a monster's frown into a smile but it turned into a frown again.

"Look out!"Rainbow Dash exclaimed. Then Cerberus ran past them and they all got out of the way.

"I'll talk to him."Fluttershy said.Cerberus growled.

"Um, excuse me, puppy?"Fluttershy asked as Cerberus snorted. " You're a very good guard dog. Yes, you are. But, um, we were wondering if we could get by to check on Tirek."

Cerberus slurped.

"That looks like a yes." Applejack said.

"I'll get you a towel, darling." Rarity said. Fluttershy giggled.The Main 6 and Spike approached Tirek.

"The Princess of Friendship here for a visit." Tirek said "What have I done to earn the honor of your company?"

"We want answers, Tirek." Twilight said "Magic is disappearing from Equestria."

"I know." Tirek said "What a waste of such...delicious power."

"So you are behind this! " Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Silly filly, if I had all of that magic, you think I'd still be locked up in here?" Lord Tirek asked her "But I might know something about it..."

Meanwhile,At the School of Friendship,In Twilight's Office Chancellor Neighsay threw the student records of the Young 6 in the trash.

"What are you doing?!" Cozy Glow exclaimed angrily "Those are Twilight's student files!"

"These aren't. Not anymore." Chancellor Neighsay said "With Equestria under attack, ponies must stand together. Twilight has endangered us all by skipping off on friendship trips while these disgusting creatures run loose."

"Take that back!" Cozy Glow exclaimed "They aren't disgusting!"

"Yes they are. I'll make sure to rid this school of these monsters and there is nothing you can do about it unless you want to be kicked out of the school."

The Young 6 started talking from the doorway giving away their positions.

"Did you hear something?" Chancellor Neighsay asked Cozy Glow.

" Nope!" Cozy Glow replied,realizing who was behind the door.

Chancellor Neighsay opened the door to reveal the Young 6. The Young 6 grunted as Cozy Glow panicked, worried about what Chancellor Neighsay would do to the Young 6.

"You again. As I suspected" Chancellor Neighsay said.

"Chancellor Neighsay please don't do anything to them.They didn't do anything wrong." Cozy Glow said,shutting up once Chancellor Neighsay shot her a threatining glare after chaining the Young 6.

Later Chancellor Neighsay opened the door of and threw the Young 6 into a dorm room.

" You disgusting creatures will stay here while I summon your guardians to take you home." Chancellor Neighsay said.

"Wait! You were right about them from the beginning, Chancellor." Sandbar said "I see that now."

"What are you saying?!" Smolder exclaimed.

"Sandbar?!" Silverstream said.

"I don't want anything to do with these disgusting creatures! " Sandbar said. Gallus and Smolder glared at him while Yona, Ocellus and Sİlverstream stared at him in shock.

"Wisely put, colt." Chancellor Neighsay said.Then he disabled the chains and the ponies left the room.

"Everypony will come to their senses eventually." Chancellor Neighsay said before Sandbar closed the door.

At Sweet Apple Acres, Sandbar was throwing apples at Apple Bloom's window. She opened the window to see a watering can getting thrown at her.

"What in tarnation?!" Apple Bloom exclaimed.

"Sorry. I ran out of apples. I need the Cutie Mark Crusaders." Sandbar said "My friends are in trouble. Chancellor Neighsay locked them up."

"Huh? I thought Cozy Glow was in charge." Apple Bloom said

"Not anymore. But you guys are good buddies." Sandbar said "If you can convince her to distract Neighsay, I can break out my friends. Will you help me?"

"Do mulberries have seeds?" Apple Bloom said,then left. Apple Bloom returned two seconds later.

"That's a yes" Apple Bloom clarified.

In Tartarus,with The Main 6 and Spike…

"Where is Equestria's magic going, Tirek?" Twilight Sparkle said "What's making it disappear?"

" If you let me out, I'm sure it will jog my memory. " Lord Tirek said "What do you say? I scratch your back, you scratch mine?"
"How about you tell us what you know or you'll be stuck here forever, because we're out of magic keys and nopony can open the door?" Rainbow Dash said.

"Oh, dear." Rarity said "I hadn't thought of that."

"We're just as trapped as Tirek?" Spike asked,worried.Tirek chuckled.

"What a pity. Well, for you." Lord Tirek said "Sweet revenge for me. It look like my protégé's plan worked after all."

The Mane Six and Spike gasped.

" Which protégé?" Applejack asked,shocked.

"Oh, we've never met. We're pen pals." Lord Tirek said "Each letter had so many questions about draining magic."

"And you answered them?!" Pinkie Pie said.

"I was bored." Tirek said "So I simply pointed my pen pal in the right direction."

"Can't you just tell us your pen pal's name?" Fluttershy asked him "I mean, since we're stuck here anyway?"

"Oh, why not? The irony is too perfect." Lord Tirek said "Their name is..."

At the School of Friendship,Cozy Glow was heading towards the catacombs while Sandbar and The Cutie Mark Cursaders were trying to keep up with her.

"Hey Cozy! Wait up!" Sandbar exclaimed.Cozy Glow stopped and turned towards them.

"Hi Cozy.What are you doing?"Apple Bloom asked.

"Hi everypony! I'm following Clear Sky. She has been acting very suspicious lately and I am trying to find out what she is up to." Cozy Glow said "I saw her heading towards the catacombs so I followed her here. I was about to go down the caves when you guys arrived ."

"Do you want us to come with you?" Sweetie Belle asked her.

"Sure!" Cozy Glow said .

"Come on everypony let's go!" Scootaloo said.

They all went down the crystal caves and looked in shock to see Starlight Glimmer trapped in a barrier with six artifacts surrounding it in a magic circle.

"Enjoying yourself in there, Starlight? I'm sorry I had to push you in." Clear Sky said "But what else could I do? You were going to ruin all of my plans."

"Oh wait I'm not sorry you took everything from me, and now I will finally I have my revenge." Clear Sky said using her magic to transform into none other than Queen Chrysalis.

Sandbar, the CMC, Cozy Glow, and Starlight all gasped.

"Now that I have you here in my clutches, not only will I be able to send all the magic to another dimension but I will also be able to send you with it and you will never see yor friends again, especially your little crush Twilight." Chrysalis explained before evilly laughing.

Starlight's eyes widened in shock as she didn't know Chrysalis knew about her crush. Sandbar and the CMC gasped at the revelation as well.

Cozy Glow shrugged "Meh I figured it out a while ago."

"Oh I knew about it all along Starlight I do feed off of love after all and now you will never see Twilight again. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."

To Be Continued.

Author's Notes:

I had Twilight drop the artifact because this Cozy Glow would know better than to use a seal that only works once. Also yes I'm making TwiStar happen this will be important later come Season 9.

Chapter 4: Escaping

“Chrysalis is behind this.” Twilight said in a scared tone.

“Heh heh heh, I’m not usually a big fan of changelings but her taking all your magic leaving the six of you here was inspiring.” Tirek said happily.

“Um, there's seven of us.” Spike said annoyed.

Twilight and the Mane 5 began leaving along with Spike
“I knew we shouldn't have left!” Twilight said worried.

“But Starlight's in charge at the school. If anypony can stop Chrysalis, it's her.” Applejack said worried.

“Chrysalis outsmarted the six of you! I doubt this Starlight stands a chance” Tirek called out from his cell.

“We’ve got to get out of here the students can’t handle Chrysalis on their own.” Twilight said scared.

“And since Chrysalis is back who knows what she’ll do to Starlight.” Spike said scared for his friend’s well being.

That last line made Twilight worried she was even more scared for Starlight now that she was involved.

“We have to go now!” Twilight shouted frantically.

“Then I guess we’ll have to bust our way out.” Rainbow Dash said trying to get out of Tartarus but she just slams into the door.

“Not everything can be solved with brute force. We need magic to escape.” Rarity proclaims.

“Maybe there's a way to get out without magic. Like a secret lever or a secret button or a secret admirer who knows a secret about you but is all, ‘Your secret's safe with me because I put it in Tartarus and I have a key!’” Pinkie Pie said.

“I'm afraid not. The most powerful villains and monsters of all time are trapped here. And without our magic, so are we.” Twilight began crying.

“Twilight please don’t cry.” Spike begged helplessly.

“I’m sorry Spike but who knows what Chrysalis will do to our students and especially Starlight.” Twilight said in tears.

Tirek just smirked at the display before Cerberus whimpers.

“Wait I have an idea.These creatures might be losing their magical powers, but there's still a magic that makes up what they are. Maybe we can borrow some of that.” Twilight said happily.

Meanwhile back at the school.

“Uh, excuse me? Um, Chancellor Neighsay?” Chrysalis as Clear Sky asked.

“You might as well get used to calling me Headstallion Neighsay. I plan to be here for quite some time.” Neighsay said in a bored tone.

“Gee, it sure is a relief to have somepony in charge, what with the magical crisis going on. And we're all so grateful to you for taking care of those... non-ponies. But doesn't the EEA need you?” ‘Clear Sky’ asked curiously.

“What the EEA needs is somepony to protect this school from the threats at Equestria's borders instead of gallivanting off on adventures beyond them.” Chancellor Neighsay argues annoyed with the disguised changeling.

“Twilight didn't just run off willy-nilly. She left Cozy Glow in charge. She’s her right-hoof mare!” ‘Clear Sky’ says with a fake smile.

Chancellor Neighsay rolls his eyes “Another in a long list of mistakes the Princess of Friendship has made. Rest assured, from now on, this school shall be run according to strict EEA guidelines.”

The door then opens as Chancellor Neighsay let’s ‘Clear Sky’ out.

“The way it should’ve always been.” Neighsay explained.

“Well, that sounds just peachy—“ ‘Clear Sky’ fake smiles before the door closes.

“Headstallion Neighsay.” Chrysalis groans out no longer in her disguise as Clear Sky.

Meanwhile with the CMC, Cozy Glow, and Sandbar.

“Chrysalis did all this but how, and why?” Sweetie Belle asks shocked.

“I don't know. But come on, y'all. We gotta get Starlight out of there before she comes back.” Applebloom says as Sweetie Belle runs up to the magic beam holding Starlight.

Sweetie Belle is then grabbed my some magic hands that almost suck her into the forcefield before Applebloom, Scootaloo and Cozy Glow pull her out.

“That's gotta be what's suckin' up all the magic in Equestria.” Applebloom guesses.

“But if that's true, then Twilight and the others went to Tartarus for nothing. And if all of Equestria's magic's getting sucked up in there, there's no way for them to get back!” Sandbar says concerned.

“We need to get help!” Cozy Glow sa8d.

“But Starlight's trapped here, and there's no way to get word to Celestia or anypony else!” Scootaloo asks.

“I guess we're on our own” Applebloom says worried.

Gallus began grunting trying to open the door to the room they were trapped in.

“Still locked, huh?” Smolder sighs out.

Gallus began speaking “We gotta at least try to get out.”

“Why? If Sandbar's turned his back on us, every other pony probably has, too.” Ocellus says worried.

“Sandbar not turn his back! Sandbar is our friend!” Yona said in defiance.

“Uh, did you miss the part where he said he didn't want anything to do with us?” Smolder asked annoyed.

“Maybe he just said that so one of us could be free to snoop around and figure out what's going on.” Silverstream says in hope.

The lock to the window unlatches with Sandbar smirking.

“I dunno. That sounds too clever for a ponyto come up with.” Sandbar snarked with a smirk.

Yona gasped but then embraced Sandbar. “Yona knew Sandbar was still our friend!”

“We all are.” Sweetie Belle said happily.

“Yeah well Clear Sky isn’t she’s actually Chrysalis in disguise.” Cozy Glow explained.

“She's the one draining magic out of Equestria!” Scootaloo revealed making the Young 5 gasp.

“We'll explain on the way. But right now, we gotta get to get to Chancellor Neighsay.” Sandbar said.

“Huh?”
“I know he doesn't like non-ponies. But if we tell him what's going on, he'll help.” Sandbar said as they all escaped.

Chapter 5: Epilogue

“I am sure you are all concerned about the magic situation. But I want to assure you that this institution is safe, despite the absence of your headmare. As your new headstallion, let me be the first to say that the reign of Princess Twilight is over! From now on, this school will adhere to EEA doctrine, as it should have from the start!” Chancellor Neighsay announced.

The students begin muttering to themselves as Clear Sky/Chrysalis began clapping.

“Thank you, Chancellor Neighsay, for that rousing speech. I know you're a stallion who truly believes what you say. And when you say this school will be run according to EEA doctrine, I know you mean it. And when you say there won't be any more lessons from the Princess of Friendship at the School of Friendship, I guess you mean that, too.” Clear Sky/Chrysalis speaks with a smirk.

The students begin to side with the disguised changeling while Neighsay begins muttering “That's not exactly what—”

“But Twilight decided to run her school outside of the EEA guidelines. And even though you tried to stop her, Princesses Celestia and Luna trusted her enough to support her.” Clear Sky/Chrysalis argues with a smirk.

“Well, I-I wouldn't say that—” Neighsay tried you defend himself.

“So, since I know you mean what you say, my question is really for the students. Are we going to give the pony who already tried to wreck Twilight's school once another chance to do it?” Clear Sky/Chrysalis motivates.

The students then began angrily muttering making Neighsay scared.

“I guess things will have to stay the way Twilight wants them. Which includes leaving Cozy Glow in charge.” Clear Sky/Chrysalis said gesturing the students to attack the Chancellor which they did.

“Okay. So maybe we need a new plan.” Sandbar says while the rest of the friends were hiding behind a statue.

We then see Chancellor Neighsay tied up in Twilight’s office.

“Not too tightly we don’t wanna hurt the Chancellor. I’m sure Twilight will know what to do with him when she returns.” Clear Sky/Chrysalis said.

The students then go back to class leaving Chrysalis who took off her disguise and Neighsay alone.

“You!” Neighsay said in a scared tone.

“I can't very well have the EEA running the school if I want to run it myself. Of course, that's just the beginning. You see, if there's one thing I've learned here, it's that friendship is the most powerful thing there is. Of course while Cozy Glow is in charge I will be taking over Equestria with the power of blegh Friendship, mwahhahahahahahhahahahaha.” Chrysalis spoke out.

Chrysalis then puts her disguise as Clear Sky back on and went back outside giggling evilly.

Cozy Glow and the CMC begin talking with Chrysalis and stalling her while the Young Six went inside Neighsay’s office.

“Oh, wonderful. I suppose you've all come to gloat?” Chancellor Neighsay said annoyed.

“Actually, we've come to undo all these chains and free you!” Silverstream said happily.

“But... But why?” Neighsay asked touched.

“Now that nasty pony has met nastier pony maybe nasty pony isn’t so nasty.” Yona said using her horn to pick the lock freeing Neighsay.

“I am aware of Chrysalis trying to take all the magic I must get word to Celestia and Luna.“ Chancellor Neighsay said.

“How? Without magic, it'll take forever to get to them.” Sandbar asked.
Chancellor Neighsay looks through the trash and finds his medallion “While it's true that unicorns have lost their ability to cast spells, the most potent magic in Equestria is housed in our... artifacts. The EEA medallion allows me to travel throughout Equestria. Its magic worked when I chained you up. Perhaps it still has enough to send me to the princesses.”

Chancellor Neighsay uses his magic to teleport to Canterlot.

“I hope he makes it.” Ocellus says scared.

“I hope he doesn't come back and lock us up again.” Smolder said annoyed.

“If he comes back.” Gallus reminds Smolder.

“Everything's gonna be fine! Twilight and the others are probably already on their way!” Silverstream said.

Meanwhile back in Tartarus Twilight was able to get all the creatures even Tirek to use their essence to open the door to Tartarus and the Mane 7(yes including Spike) make it out of Tartarus but it was sun set.

“No it’s too late, we failed.” Twilight said in tears.

Meanwhile Cozy Glow and the CMC were locked in the closet Chrysalis put them in.

“Did you really think you could fool me I know a diversion when I see it.” Chrysalis smirked.

“Kinda.” Cozy Glow said through the door.

The Young 6 were then in the catacombs and saw Starlight in the magic forcefield Ocellus explained that lifting all of the magical artifacts would reverse the spell but could destroy the school.

“Well well we’ll, if it isn’t Ocellus and her little friends.” Chrysalis smirked wickedly.

“Chrysalis.” Ocellus glared.

“That’s right and now I am here to take you out for good.” Chrysalis smirks before seeing all the students have shown up to fight. One of them saw Chrysalis lock the CMC and Cozy Glow so she alerted everyone.

“Very well if you all want to fight, bring it on.” Chrysalis said.

The students and Chrysalis then began fighting as the Young Six used the artifacts and reversed the spell.

All the magic was returned to Equestria even Tirek.

Twilight and the rest of her friends teleported to the broken down catacombs and saw Chrysalis.

“Chrysalis.” Twilight angrily said.

“Oh poo, I see I’ve been figured it but no matter I can still take you down.” Chrysalis smirked.

Celestia, Luna, and Neighsay with the Royal Guard then show up and put an anti-magic ring on Chrysalis’ horn.

Back at the school the next morning, Cozy Glow walked into Starlight’s office.

“Hey Counselor Starlight.” Cozy Glow said happily.

“Oh hey Cozy Glow.” Starlight returned the greeting.

“Hey Starlight if it’s not too much trouble; I should probably tell you, I know about your crush on Twilight.” Cozy Glow said.

“Sigh I suppose you’re gonna rat me out.” Starlight groaned.

“Nope in fact you’re secret is safe with me. Also I came to ask where is Chrysalis now?” Cozy Glow asked.

We then cut to Tartarus where Cerberus whimpered.

“Of course it’s boring now but at least you’re not in a cage.” Tirek yelled angrily.

The guards then showed up with Chrysalis and put her in a cage.

“Hey neighbor wanna be friends?” Chrysalis asked menacingly.
