*back at the Empire*
Sombra/Oscura: [chewing on grapes as he makes the Crystal ponies their slaves]
[Flurry and Fluffy try to blast the black crystals but it doesn't work]
Sombra: *smirks at them* It's cute that you think that will do anything.
Cadance/Bolero: *glares and points* It might not, but they will!
Sombra/Oscura- *look in shock as they see the Mane 6 and Colt 6 and Spike and Barbra with the Elements*
Pinkie/Bubble: Cavalry's here! [grunts]
*they charge at them*
Sombra/Oscura: [chuckles] How can we be surprised when we're waiting to show all of you your greatest fear? *their eyes glow green with purple mist and hits the Mane and Colt 6*
Mane Six/Colt Six: [gasp as they get levitated, groan as they see their fears]
*in Twilight and Dusk's fears*
*the two see their friends and family controlled by Sombra and Oscura and wearing mind control helmets*
Twilight/Dusk: *worried* No...
*they see four sets of glowing green eyes to be Celestia, Solaris, Luna, and Artemis under Sombra and Oscura' control*
Celestia/Solaris: *glares* Oh, Twilight and Dusk. How disappointing.
Luna/Artemis: *glares* Equestria was in your care, and you let it be destroyed!
*the four turn into Daybreaker, Solarstorm, Nightmare Moon and NightTerror Nebula*
*back in reality*
Sombra/Oscura: *surrounding Twilight and Dusk in their shadow forms* You should all surrender! *lifts their chins* Nothing can defeat your own fears! *grins darkly*
[the Elements glow and snap the Mane 6 and Colt 6 out of their fears*]
Sombra/Oscura- *turns back to normal and lands in shock*
Twilight: *determined* We didn't need to defeat them.
Dusk- *determined* We just needed to face them long enough to distract you! *points*
*the two look to see Spike and Barbra break the crystal with their flames*
Cadence/Bolero- *flies and grabs the Crystal Heart and flies out the window*
Sombra/Oscura: *tries to grab the heart* Nooooo!
[Flurry and Fluffy zap them catching them and the guards off guard]
Shining/Gleaming: *smirks* It's cute that you think that'll do anything.
[Cadence and Bolero blast the Crystal Heart and the heart activates]
[the heart turns everything back to normal]
Sombra/Oscura: [growls] You may have won the battle, but we shall win the war!
[Twilight and Dusk blast them into shadow]
Spike/Barbra: *cheers* Yeah! Whoo-hoo-hoo!
Rainbow/Blitz: *confident* We totally just wiped the castle with those guys!
Flurry/Fluffy/Spike/Barbra- *hug Twilight and Dusk*
Applejack/AJ/Rarity/Elusive- *hoofbumps*
Cadence/Bolero- *comes back in defensive but realizes their gone and smiles calmly*
Shining/Gleaming: *smiles* Thanks, Twily and Dusky. *hugs them*
Cadence/Bolero- *hugs them*
Pinkie/Bubble: *happily* That was fun!
Applejack/AJ: *smiles* And easy.
Rarity/Elusive: *smiles* As magical battles go, that was a cakewalk.
Pinkie/Bubble: Mmm... Cakewalk...*does the moonwalk in cake*
Everyone: [giggle happily]
Twilight: *smiles* We did handle this pretty well.
Dusk- *smiles*On our own.
Spike/Barbra: *smiles* Does this mean...?
Twilight/Dusk: We still don't feel like we're one hundred percent ready, but will we ever?
Applejack/AJ: *smirks* Knowing you two? Nope.
Twilight: *sincerely* We have you guys, and we have the Elements.
Dusk- *sincerely* And together, we've never failed.
Both- *sincerely* We'll be okay.
Rest of Mane Six, Colt Six, Spike and Barbra: [assorted cheering]
