he grows stronger still.

184
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,750
And I know just the
Princess who could stop him.

185
00:09:27,792 --> 00:09:29,250
Yes! I'll find him and--

186
00:09:29,291 --> 00:09:30,750
No, Twilight,

187
00:09:30,792 --> 00:09:34,083
I'm afraid I must call on
another to stop Tirek.

188
00:09:34,125 --> 00:09:35,375
Discord.

189
00:09:35,417 --> 00:09:36,625
(gasp)

190
00:09:36,667 --> 00:09:39,333
As in Discord, Discord?

191
00:09:39,375 --> 00:09:40,792
Yes.

192
00:09:40,834 --> 00:09:43,083
I don't think it's
that big of a surprise.

193
00:09:43,125 --> 00:09:44,750
He can be very helpful.

194
00:09:47,166 --> 00:09:49,333
He can sense when there's a
magical imbalance.

195
00:09:49,375 --> 00:09:51,041
The next time
Tirek steals magic,

196
00:09:51,083 --> 00:09:53,125
Discord will be able
to track him down.

197
00:09:53,166 --> 00:09:55,709
So what are you supposed
to do in the meantime?

198
00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:57,792
(sigh) Nothing.

199
00:09:57,834 --> 00:10:00,500
Unless of course one of you
needs me to smile and wave.

200
00:10:02,166 --> 00:10:03,250
Where are you going?

201
00:10:03,291 --> 00:10:05,750
To the Castle of
the Two Sisters.

202
00:10:05,792 --> 00:10:07,583
I'm not really
needed anywhere else.

203
00:10:07,625 --> 00:10:09,834
Might as well catch up
on some of my reading.

204
00:10:11,959 --> 00:10:13,041
Want some company?

205
00:10:14,625 --> 00:10:16,834
Applejack: It has been a while
since we've visited the castle.

206
00:10:16,875 --> 00:10:18,709
Might be fun.

207
00:10:18,750 --> 00:10:21,166
Maybe I could use a
little company right now.

208
00:10:24,083 --> 00:10:25,917
Rainbow Dash: (sigh) I
still can't believe

209
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:28,208
we had to give
back the Elements.

210
00:10:28,250 --> 00:10:31,625
It had to be done or the Tree of
Harmony wouldn't have survived.

211
00:10:31,667 --> 00:10:33,208
But Twilight was right.

212
00:10:33,250 --> 00:10:37,375
Even without the Elements, our
friendship is as strong as ever.

213
00:10:37,417 --> 00:10:39,792
I just hope another
"friend" of ours

214
00:10:39,834 --> 00:10:42,208
never makes us sorry we
had to give them up.

215
00:10:42,250 --> 00:10:43,250
Discord: Oh ho!

216
00:10:43,291 --> 00:10:45,250
You're talking
about me, I presume?

217
00:10:46,333 --> 00:10:47,792
How'd you guess?

218
00:10:47,834 --> 00:10:49,250
My ears were burning.

What are you even
doing here, Discord?

221
00:10:53,750 --> 00:10:56,166
Just a bit of light
reading before I head off

222
00:10:56,208 --> 00:10:58,500
on my extremely
important mission.

223
00:10:58,542 --> 00:11:00,542
I suppose you all know
that I've been tapped

224
00:11:00,583 --> 00:11:02,166
to capture a
certain escapee.

225
00:11:03,875 --> 00:11:05,208
Big deal.

226
00:11:05,250 --> 00:11:07,458
You're right, Spike,
it is a "big deal".

227
00:11:10,083 --> 00:11:11,083
(pop)

228
00:11:12,625 --> 00:11:15,166
Seems I possess a magic that
gives me quite an important role

229
00:11:15,208 --> 00:11:16,458
in Equestria.

230
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:19,458
Maybe they should make
me an Alicorn Princess.

231
00:11:19,500 --> 00:11:21,417
(cheering crowd)

232
00:11:21,458 --> 00:11:23,208

233

In your dreams.

234
00:11:28,041 --> 00:11:30,458
Oh, I never dream
of such things.

235
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:32,750
Ask Princess Luna.

236
00:11:32,792 --> 00:11:34,709
Don't you have a creepy
magic-stealing villain

237
00:11:34,750 --> 00:11:36,250
to track down?

238
00:11:36,291 --> 00:11:37,792
Yes, yes, yes, of course.

239
00:11:39,083 --> 00:11:41,542
It's just that I couldn't help
but notice that Twilight

240
00:11:41,583 --> 00:11:44,625
hasn't yet opened this
little chest of hers.

241
00:11:46,417 --> 00:11:48,125
It got me thinking.

242
00:11:48,166 --> 00:11:50,625
What if what's locked inside is
something that could help her

243
00:11:50,667 --> 00:11:52,834
prove her royal worth?

244
00:11:52,875 --> 00:11:55,625
I only bring it up because she
said that she'd been feeling

245
00:11:55,667 --> 00:11:58,750
like her role as a princess
doesn't equate to much.

246
00:12:01,041 --> 00:12:02,083
Wait a minute!

247
00:12:02,125 --> 00:12:04,250
How do you know how
she was feeling?

248
00:12:04,291 --> 00:12:05,750
Oh, my.

249
00:12:05,792 --> 00:12:07,709
Is eavesdropping not the way
you're supposed to find out

250
00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:09,291
what your best pals are up to?

251
00:12:09,333 --> 00:12:10,917
Woe is me.

252
00:12:10,959 --> 00:12:14,709
Will I ever learn the intricate
nuances of being a good friend?

253
00:12:17,917 --> 00:12:19,375
Ahem!

254
00:12:19,417 --> 00:12:22,083
Well, in any case, I suppose
now is as good a time as any

255
00:12:22,125 --> 00:12:23,500
for me to make my exit.

256
00:12:25,458 --> 00:12:26,875
And good riddance!

Oopsey doopsey,

258
00:12:29,417 --> 00:12:33,792
I almost left with the little
journal you've all been keeping.

259
00:12:33,834 --> 00:12:35,375
What a fascinating read.

260
00:12:35,417 --> 00:12:38,542
Haven't you girls
just learned so much?

261
00:12:38,583 --> 00:12:40,875
I've bookmarked a few of the
more interesting passages.

262
00:12:40,917 --> 00:12:42,959
You really should take a look.

263
00:12:44,291 --> 00:12:46,750
We're still on for tea later
aren't we, Fluttershy?

264
00:12:46,792 --> 00:12:48,125
I wouldn't miss it.

00:12:49,458 --> 00:12:52,625

cucumber sandwiches.

00:12:55,417 --> 00:12:58,792
Sometimes I think the "reformed"
Discord is more obnoxious

268
00:12:58,834 --> 00:13:01,625
than the "before he
was reformed" Discord.

269
00:13:01,667 --> 00:13:02,709
Indeed.

270
00:13:02,750 --> 00:13:04,959
But he could be
right, couldn't he?

271
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,834
What if there is something
important in that chest?

272
00:13:10,959 --> 00:13:12,792
There's only one
way to find out.

273
00:13:20,375 --> 00:13:21,375
Anything?

(negative murmurs)

275
00:13:23,500 --> 00:13:25,709
There must be something
in this library

out how to open it.

277
00:13:27,959 --> 00:13:29,834

00:17:48,125 --> 00:17:49,709
What does any of
this have to do

361
00:17:49,750 --> 00:17:51,375
with the opening of the chest?

362
00:17:51,417 --> 00:17:53,500
All of you had tough
choices to make,

363
00:17:53,542 --> 00:17:56,250
but when you made the right
one and embraced your Element,

364
00:17:56,291 --> 00:17:59,208
it helped somepony else
make the right choice too.

365
00:17:59,250 --> 00:18:01,208
Each of you received
something from the pony

366
00:18:01,250 --> 00:18:03,583
whose life you helped change.

367
00:18:03,625 --> 00:18:06,458
I know it sounds crazy, but
maybe there's something special

368
00:18:06,500 --> 00:18:08,667
about those objects that could
lead us to the location

369
00:18:08,709 --> 00:18:10,166
of the keys.

370
00:18:10,208 --> 00:18:12,542
The chest is connected
to the Tree of Harmony.

371
00:18:12,583 --> 00:18:14,500
The Tree is connected
to the Elements,

372
00:18:14,542 --> 00:18:17,041
and the Elements are
connected to all of us.

373
00:18:17,083 --> 00:18:19,083
There must be a connection!

374
00:18:19,125 --> 00:18:21,166
I hate to admit it,
but maybe Discord

375
00:18:21,208 --> 00:18:23,208
was trying to be a
good friend after all.

376
00:18:25,458 --> 00:18:28,083
I don't see anything on them
that would give us a clue

377
00:18:28,125 --> 00:18:30,000

378

everyday objects.

going to work.

Think, Twilight! When have you
completed a difficult magical

task and in doing so encouraged
another pony to do the same?

I haven't.

If I had, I would have written
about it in the Journal.

much trust in Discord

would have upon him.

the ponies of Equestria

I thought he had changed.

413

Tirek has stolen enough magic

Without their strength,

419

With Discord by his side,

we will not be able to
stop him from taking it.

Once it is in his possession,
