Myself and these Pillars of
Equestria were gathered together

pony who brought us together,

And they went off with Starswirl
to face the Pony of Shadows
50

ever heard from again?

me on the right track

I mean, he was a genius,
182

so I guess we can forgive
a little messiness --
183
00:09:17,757 --> 00:09:21,025
I went through the journal
again and it's amazing!

understand you're excited,

What exactly is so amazing?
187
00:09:29,002 --> 00:09:30,835
Only how Starswirl
and the other Pillars
188
00:09:30,837 --> 00:09:33,237
sent the Pony of
Shadows to limbo!
189
00:09:33,239 --> 00:09:34,673
They did what now?
190
00:09:38,278 --> 00:09:41,145
They used their magic to
open a portal between worlds,
191
00:09:41,147 --> 00:09:43,881
to limbo and pulled the
Pony of Shadows inside.
192

Darling, your diorama!

I made more.
195
00:09:50,290 --> 00:09:52,890
Starswirl thought the only way
to trap the Pony of Shadows
196
00:09:52,892 --> 00:09:55,159
in limbo was for the
Pillars to take him there.
197
00:09:55,161 --> 00:09:58,296
So they got stuck too.
198
00:09:58,298 --> 00:10:01,132
The Pony of Shadows must
have been really awful
199
00:10:01,134 --> 00:10:03,368
for them to do that.
200
00:10:03,370 --> 00:10:06,304
I suppose being trapped for all
time with a super-duper bad guy
201
00:10:06,306 --> 00:10:09,107
in limbo might be OK if
you were doing the limbo,
202
00:10:09,109 --> 00:10:10,642
but that's still pushing it.
203
00:10:10,644 --> 00:10:13,178
The thing is, I think
I can get them out.
204
00:10:14,414 --> 00:10:16,214

205
00:10:16,216 --> 00:10:19,817

legendary ponies of all time?

207

Opening portals between worlds
didn't work out well for me.
208
00:10:25,692 --> 00:10:27,425
Are you sure it's safe?
209
00:10:27,427 --> 00:10:30,361
First of all, you opened
portals through time.
210
00:10:30,363 --> 00:10:32,230
And second of all,
Starswirl wrote the spell
211
00:10:32,232 --> 00:10:33,731
you used to do it.
212
00:10:33,733 --> 00:10:36,167
If he'd been here, he
could have stopped it.

Equestria would be
safer with him in it.

We have to save him.
215
00:10:40,206 --> 00:10:43,241
But you'd be savin'
all the Pillars, right?
216
00:10:43,243 --> 00:10:45,843

ages ago.

about limbo.

place or another.

fly up here to move their hive.

00:18:05,551 --> 00:18:06,584
There!
359
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:13,224
Now the other bayou creatures
can get to the water
360

feeling threatened.

have to help with this.

I can't believe you're actually
going through with it.

What do you mean?
374
00:18:58,571 --> 00:19:01,172
I'm all for pushing the
envelope, obviously,
375
00:19:01,174 --> 00:19:03,741

there for you, Twilight.

378

Well, nothing when
you say it like that.
379
00:19:13,586 --> 00:19:16,520
Unless "the most legendary
ponies of all time"
380

knew what they were doing and
we shouldn't mess with it.
381
00:19:19,892 --> 00:19:22,760
I'm sure Starswirl and the
Pillars did the best they could
382
00:19:22,762 --> 00:19:26,263
back then, but magic
has come a long way,
383
00:19:26,265 --> 00:19:28,866
mostly because of
the work they did.
384
00:19:28,868 --> 00:19:30,868
That's true. And you
did get your wings
385
00:19:30,870 --> 00:19:33,270
from finishing one of
Starswirl's spells.
386
00:19:33,272 --> 00:19:36,273
Exactly.
387
00:19:36,275 --> 00:19:39,777
But, then I messed with one and
nearly destroyed the universe,
388
00:19:39,779 --> 00:19:41,845
so...
389
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:44,215
Starlight, Starswirl the
Bearded is the greatest wizard
390
00:19:44,217 --> 00:19:45,783
who ever lived.
391
00:19:45,785 --> 00:19:48,819
The chance to have him back in
Equestria is worth the risk.

this shield for nothing!

Applejack: I hope you don't
think you're the only one

00:19:56,395 --> 00:20:00,464

this here shovel says otherwise.

the most attractive
of the artifacts.

You're just saying that because
you didn't have to scuba dive
