Right at that moment, the student six, Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Silverstream, Smolder and Yona all floated down to the artifacts, currently surrounding a certain pink unicorn in a giant blue, glowing orb. She looked on, nervous about what was going to happen as the student six all landed in front of each artifact.

"Um, didn't you say that could destroy the school?" Silverstream asked with concern.

"But if we don't try, we could lose magic forever!" Ocellus replied, just as nervous as she was.

Smolder and Yona then nodded at each other, knowing fully well that there weren't any more options. Sandbar turned to face the crowd of ponies who were seeing everything.

"You all better get clear!" He advised them.

And so with that, everypony practically bolted out of there as fast as their hooves could carry them. Cozy Glow saw the whole thing.

"Wait! Where are you going?! Stoooooop!" She screamed aloud.

Quickly, the student six each grabbed their artifact at the same time and lifted it up proudly, never in their lives were they expecting to be doing any of this. With the entirety of Equestria on the line and the fact that by doing this, it might blow up the whole school, they were all nervous to say the least. But regardless, they stayed strong. Suddenly, the magical orb that Starlight was trapped in started floating in the air, she looked around with a mixture of shock and confusion on her face as the orb shrunk in size. Then, before anyone could get another sentence out of their mouths, a big flash of light brightened up the entire room as a loud explosion sound could be heard, the big glowing orb exploded all over Ponyville as colorful meteors flew across the sky, all the way to Canterlot, where Celestia, Luna, Chancellor Neighsay and all of the guards were walking away from the castle, when they all looked up in pure disbelief. They were so happy that their magic was back in Equestria.

Meanwhile at Tartarus, all of the creatures were separated into their own species, but not for longer as the colorful meteors flew right into the small little creatures, causing them to end up in their merged bodies once again. Tirek, who was still locked up in his cage, reached his hand out to try and grab one of the meteors, but one of them slammed right into his face, the force made him crash onto the floor.

The mane seven were walking away from Tartarus, feeling defeated, feeling like they failed to save Equestria. But all of their miserable thoughts were pushed aside as they all quickly got their magic back. Everyone gathered around Twilight as they quickly poofed away in a raspberry colored aurora.

Back at the School of Friendship, all of the students were still evacuating while screaming for their lives. Suddenly, Starlight Glimmer, who was now freed from her imprisonment, and the student six all teleported right outside the school, all still in one piece. Yona then got up, cheering and laughing, knowing the fact that Starlight had just brought them to safety and quickly dove towards the unicorn.

"Counselor pony."

Before the yak could crush her, she stopped her with her magical aurora as Yona floated in front of her. "Uh, it's nice to see you, too." She said.

"I guess magic is back." Ocellus clarified, when suddenly...

"You've ruined everything!" An angry voice called out.

Everyone looked over to the source and saw a very ticked off Cozy Glow, her mane sizzling from the explosion, she also had a couple of bruises. She stomped closer to them. "Now Twilight and her ridiculous friends can escape from Tartarus!" She barked.

Then before she could take another step, the mane seven suddenly poofed right next to Starlight and the student six, all staring at Cozy Glow with angry looks on their faces, like the look a mother gives her son when he doesn't do his homework.

"I mean... Yay! All my friends are safe!" Cozy said innocently, but they weren't falling for her terrible lie.

"You can drop the act, Cozy Glow!" Applejack snarled. "Your pen pal Tirek told us all about how he helped you suck up all that magic!"

"But I still don't understand why." Twilight said as she got closer to Cozy Glow.

The little filly turned away from the Alicorn, growling under her breath, clenching her teeth. But suddenly, her face turned into an expression that almost looked like she was about to cry.

"Because." She then looked at the ground and took a big sigh and said... "Because I only wanted to feel appreciated for once."

As soon as she said those words, everyone's angry faces were suddenly washed away and were replaced with looks of sympathy as she continued her statement.

"When I was a foal, nopony really cared about me and I ended up being an outcast. So, when I grew up, I made it my goal to become the empress of friendship in the near future, that way, I could make friends with whoever I wanted. But now I realize that friendship is powerful, but power isn't why you make friends. The point is, I've now learned from all of my mistakes, and I'm really, really sorry I put you guys through this mess. I guess that's what happens when you forcefully take away all of the magic in the world and use it for your evil plans. Can you ever forgive me? I promise I'll never, never do anything like this ever again."

Everyone was left speechless, they never knew that Cozy Glow had such a horrible past. There was a moment of silence before Twilight stepped up, walking towards her.

"Cozy... I had no idea that all of that happened to you, and I think I speak for every creature here when I say.." Twilight paused for a moment, everyone looked on nervously, wondering what the princess was going to say...

"Of course we forgive you!" Twilight proclaimed.

Suddenly, before anybody could start cheering, Celestia, Luna and Chancellor Neighsay all appeared nearby, the princess swooped in, and Neighsay hopped through his portal, looking really frustrated.

"Alright, Cozy Glow!" Luna declared. "It's time to pay for your actions."

Cozy then looked up to the sky and saw a whole bunch of guards flying, all ready to capture her. Right when they were about to grab her, Twilight jumped in front of them.

"Stop!" She yelled, causing all of the guards to come to a halt.

"Twilight. What ever are you doing?" Celestia asked in astonishment. "She tried to take our magic."

"It's okay, Princess." Twilight afformed, walking up to Celestia. "Cozy Glow has learnt from her mistakes and she promises never to do that again."

"Oh, is that so?" Luna asked, glaring at Cozy, who just smiled at her. "Well, apology accepted." She then went up to Cozy with a serious look on her face. "But if you ever even attempt to do that again, we will not hesitate to send you to Tartarus. Do I make myself clear?" She asked as Cozy nodded frantically. "Good, well, in that case." She then flew up to the sky and declared to everyone... "Attention. Please welcome the newest citizen of Equestria, Cozy Glow!"

And so with that, everyone started cheering and wooing. Cozy Glow looked around in pure astonishment, she had never made friends with this many people before, and she couldn't be more happier.

THE END
