Twilight's and Rose's Kingdom - Part 2

Princess Luna: Tirek is set on possessing Alicorn magic. When he comes for us, we cannot have what he is looking for.

Twilight Sparkle: I'm more than willing to do my part and give up my magic.

Princess Luna: You misunderstand. Our magic cannot just disappear into thin air. Somepony must keep it safe.

Princess Cadance: That somepony is you, Twilight and Rose.

Rose Light: Why me?

Princess Celestia: We do not believe that Tirek is aware that a fourth and fifth Alicorn princess exists in Equestria. If we transfer our magic to you, Tirek will not know where it has gone.

Princess Moonstone Dream: Do you understand what we're asking of you?

Twilight Sparkle: Yes. It's just... I'm only now learning how to control my own Alicorn magic. To take on even more–

Princess Cadance: Twilight and Rose, you represent the elements of magic and forgiveness. If there is anypony who can do this, it's you.

Rose Light: Taking on this task will be one of the most difficult things I'll ever do, but with the help of my friends–

Princess Celestia: I'm sorry, Princess Twilight and Princess Rose, but you must keep your new abilities a secret. I fear that your friends being aware of your new power could put them at great risk. Do you still think you can take on this responsibility?

Twilight Sparkle: This is the role I am meant to play as a princess of Equestria! I will not fail to do my duty!

Princess Celestia: Then we must begin at once.

[magic noises]

[wibbling noise]

Discord: [shivers] That can't be right.

Lord Tirek: What can't be right?

Discord: Nothing. Carry on.

[magic humming]

Princess Celestia: [out of breath] It is done.

[owl hoots]

Spike: [snoring] You weren't gone very long. Does that mean everything's okay?

Rose Light: Yep! Everything's fine! [chuckles nervously]

Spike: In that case, I'm going back to bed. Sun's not up... and neither am I.

Twilight Sparkle: [hushed] That's strange. The sun should be up by now... [gasps] The sun should be up by now! [inhales, exhales] You can do this.

[magic noises]

Discord: Shining Armor and Grape Luck, why, whatever are you doing here?

Shining Armor: Back off, traitor.

Lord Tirek: The only one Discord betrayed was himself. Abandoning his true nature to make friends with weak-minded equines who offer him nothing!

[magic noises]

Lord Tirek: [laughs, chews]

Grape Luck: [weakly] How... could you... do this...?

Lord Tirek: Why don't you go and have a little fun? I won't stand in your way.

Discord: [giggles]

[approaching hoofbeats]

[smash!]

Lord Tirek: [inhales] What have you done?! [inhales] Where is your magic?!

[explosion]

Rose Light: I have to gain better control. I sure can't practice here.
