he grows stronger still.
184
00:09:23,963 --> 00:09:26,731
And I know just the
Princess who could stop him.
185
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:28,132
Yes! I'll find him and--
186
00:09:28,201 --> 00:09:29,467
No, Twilight,
187
00:09:29,536 --> 00:09:33,037
I'm afraid I must call on
another to stop Tirek.
188
00:09:33,106 --> 00:09:34,271
Discord.
189
00:09:34,340 --> 00:09:35,673
(gasp)
190
00:09:35,742 --> 00:09:38,242
As in Discord, Discord?
191
00:09:38,311 --> 00:09:39,410
Yes.
192
00:09:39,479 --> 00:09:42,046
I don't think it's
that big of a surprise.
193
00:09:42,115 --> 00:09:43,815
He can be very helpful.
194
00:09:46,152 --> 00:09:48,252
He can sense when there's a
magical imbalance.
195
00:09:48,321 --> 00:09:49,987
The next time
Tirek steals magic,
196
00:09:50,056 --> 00:09:52,056
Discord will be able
to track him down.
197
00:09:52,125 --> 00:09:54,692
So what are you supposed
to do in the meantime?
198
00:09:54,761 --> 00:09:56,761
(sigh) Nothing.
199
00:09:56,830 --> 00:09:59,364
Unless of course one of you
needs me to smile and wave.
200
00:10:01,101 --> 00:10:01,967
Where are you going?
201
00:10:02,035 --> 00:10:04,735
To the Castle of
the Two Sisters.
202
00:10:04,804 --> 00:10:06,404
I'm not really
needed anywhere else.
203
00:10:06,473 --> 00:10:08,840
Might as well catch up
on some of my reading.
204
00:10:10,944 --> 00:10:12,010
Want some company?
205
00:10:13,513 --> 00:10:15,813
Applejack: It has been a while
since we've visited the castle.
206
00:10:15,882 --> 00:10:17,682
Might be fun.
207
00:10:17,751 --> 00:10:20,085
Maybe I could use a
little company right now.
208
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:24,855
Rainbow Dash: (sigh) I
still can't believe
209
00:10:24,924 --> 00:10:27,091
we had to give
back the Elements.
210
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:30,428
It had to be done or the Tree of
Harmony wouldn't have survived.
211
00:10:30,497 --> 00:10:31,930
But Twilight was right.
212
00:10:31,998 --> 00:10:36,233
Even without the Elements, our
friendship is as strong as ever.
213
00:10:36,302 --> 00:10:38,769
I just hope another
"friend" of ours
214
00:10:38,838 --> 00:10:41,105
never makes us sorry we
had to give them up.
215
00:10:41,174 --> 00:10:42,206
Discord: Oh ho!
216
00:10:42,275 --> 00:10:44,175
You're talking
about me, I presume?
217
00:10:45,211 --> 00:10:46,744
How'd you guess?
218
00:10:46,813 --> 00:10:48,079
My ears were burning.

What are you even
doing here, Discord?
221
00:10:52,519 --> 00:10:55,019
Just a bit of light
reading before I head off
222
00:10:55,088 --> 00:10:57,321
on my extremely
important mission.
223
00:10:57,390 --> 00:10:59,356
I suppose you all know
that I've been tapped
224
00:10:59,425 --> 00:11:01,092
to capture a
certain escapee.
225
00:11:02,862 --> 00:11:04,095
Big deal.
226
00:11:04,164 --> 00:11:06,331
You're right, Spike,
it is a "big deal".
227
00:11:09,002 --> 00:11:10,001
(pop)
228
00:11:11,471 --> 00:11:14,004
Seems I possess a magic that
gives me quite an important role
229
00:11:14,073 --> 00:11:15,239
in Equestria.
230
00:11:15,308 --> 00:11:18,242
Maybe they should make
me an Alicorn Princess.
231
00:11:18,311 --> 00:11:20,211
(cheering crowd)
232
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:22,080

233

In your dreams.
234
00:11:26,953 --> 00:11:29,253
Oh, I never dream
of such things.
235
00:11:29,322 --> 00:11:31,489
Ask Princess Luna.
236
00:11:31,558 --> 00:11:33,457
Don't you have a creepy
magic-stealing villain
237
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:35,092
to track down?
238
00:11:35,161 --> 00:11:36,761
Yes, yes, yes, of course.
239
00:11:38,131 --> 00:11:40,331
It's just that I couldn't help
but notice that Twilight
240
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:43,435
hasn't yet opened this
little chest of hers.
241
00:11:45,238 --> 00:11:46,671
It got me thinking.
242
00:11:46,739 --> 00:11:49,373
What if what's locked inside is
something that could help her
243
00:11:49,442 --> 00:11:51,542
prove her royal worth?
244
00:11:51,611 --> 00:11:54,378
I only bring it up because she
said that she'd been feeling
245
00:11:54,447 --> 00:11:57,716
like her role as a princess
doesn't equate to much.
246
00:11:59,953 --> 00:12:00,952
Wait a minute!
247
00:12:01,021 --> 00:12:03,053
How do you know how
she was feeling?
248
00:12:03,122 --> 00:12:04,521
Oh, my.
249
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:06,390
Is eavesdropping not the way
you're supposed to find out
250
00:12:06,459 --> 00:12:08,058
what your best pals are up to?
251
00:12:08,127 --> 00:12:09,526
Woe is me.
252
00:12:09,595 --> 00:12:13,431
Will I ever learn the intricate
nuances of being a good friend?
253
00:12:16,603 --> 00:12:18,002
Ahem!
254
00:12:18,071 --> 00:12:20,905
Well, in any case, I suppose
now is as good a time as any
255
00:12:20,974 --> 00:12:22,273
for me to make my exit.
256
00:12:24,277 --> 00:12:25,576
And good riddance!
257

Oopsey doopsey,
258
00:12:28,248 --> 00:12:32,516
I almost left with the little
journal you've all been keeping.
259
00:12:32,585 --> 00:12:34,151
What a fascinating read.
260
00:12:34,220 --> 00:12:37,254
Haven't you girls
just learned so much?
261
00:12:37,323 --> 00:12:39,523
I've bookmarked a few of the
more interesting passages.
262
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:41,826
You really should take a look.
263
00:12:43,096 --> 00:12:45,429
We're still on for tea later
aren't we, Fluttershy?
264
00:12:45,498 --> 00:12:46,965
I wouldn't miss it.
265
00:12:48,234 --> 00:12:51,369

cucumber sandwiches.

Sometimes I think the "reformed"
Discord is more obnoxious
268
00:12:57,510 --> 00:13:00,277
than the "before he
was reformed" Discord.
269
00:13:00,346 --> 00:13:01,278
Indeed.
270
00:13:01,347 --> 00:13:03,547
But he could be
right, couldn't he?
271
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:06,484
What if there is something
important in that chest?
272
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:11,489
There's only one
way to find out.
273
00:13:19,165 --> 00:13:20,130
Anything?

(negative murmurs)
275
00:13:22,268 --> 00:13:24,401
There must be something
in this library
276

that can help me figure
out how to open it.
277
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,472

kindness to the Breezies was by
forcing them to leave your home.

kindest thing I could do.

360
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:48,198
What does any of
this have to do
361
00:17:48,267 --> 00:17:49,733
with the opening of the chest?
362
00:17:49,802 --> 00:17:51,835
All of you had tough
choices to make,
363
00:17:51,904 --> 00:17:54,638
but when you made the right
one and embraced your Element,
364
00:17:54,707 --> 00:17:57,608
it helped somepony else
make the right choice too.
365
00:17:57,677 --> 00:17:59,610
Each of you received
something from the pony
366
00:17:59,679 --> 00:18:01,912
whose life you helped change.
367
00:18:01,981 --> 00:18:04,815
I know it sounds crazy, but
maybe there's something special
368
00:18:04,884 --> 00:18:07,151
about those objects that could
lead us to the location
369
00:18:07,220 --> 00:18:08,386
of the keys.
370
00:18:08,455 --> 00:18:10,854
The chest is connected
to the Tree of Harmony.
371
00:18:10,923 --> 00:18:12,823
The Tree is connected
to the Elements,
372
00:18:12,892 --> 00:18:15,459
and the Elements are
connected to all of us.
373
00:18:15,528 --> 00:18:17,494
There must be a connection!
374
00:18:17,563 --> 00:18:19,563
I hate to admit it,
but maybe Discord
375
00:18:19,632 --> 00:18:21,632
was trying to be a
good friend after all.
376
00:18:23,803 --> 00:18:26,470
I don't see anything on them
that would give us a clue
377
00:18:26,539 --> 00:18:28,372
as to where the keys might be.
378
00:18:28,441 --> 00:18:30,908

everyday objects.

going to work.

you have too, Twilight.

Think, Twilight! When have you
completed a difficult magical
393

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.

I am afraid I put too
much trust in Discord

would have upon him.
406

Discord has betrayed
the ponies of Equestria
407

I thought he had changed.
413
00:20:25,658 --> 00:20:28,458
Tirek has stolen enough magic
that he now has the strength

There is word he has gone
after earth ponies as well.

Without their strength,
419

There is no doubt that Tirek
is after alicorn magic.

With Discord by his side,

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

Once it is in his possession,

00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:10,834
his power will know no bounds
