Chapter 27: The Legend You're Meant To Be




At CPA, Shadow was sitting quietly in the Student Body President's office going through some paperwork when he saw something that caught his eye.

Shadow Moonlight: *thinking* Huh. I could've sworn they restocked those two weeks ago. Should probably call for an inventory check.

He thought as he pressed a button on an old fashioned phone that lied on his desk.

Shadow Moonlight: Hey, Mom? Can you send in Clayton Potter and Varsity Trim in here, please?

Dean Cinch (Over Phone): Of course, dear. They'll be there shortly.

Shadow Moonlight: Thanks, Mom.

Within moments, two Crystal Prep Students arrived in the office. One had pink skin, magenta hair, and amber eyes while the other had dark grey hair, light purple grey skin, and yellow green eyes.

Clayton Potter: Hey man, what do you need?

Shadow Moonlight: I'm glad you asked, Clayton. I've been overviewing some of these reports and it seems that we're short a few bunsen burners in the science lab. Though I could be mistaken and it may have already been taken care of, I need to be sure before addressing this matter to Principal Cadence. Would you two mind taking inventory or ask someone to take inventory if you're busy? I'd do it myself but I still have more paperwork to handle.

Varsity Trim: I suppose. I don't really have anything better to do, anyway.

Shadow Moonlight: Thanks, both of you. Really appreciate it.

The two smile and nod at hima s Varsity grabbed a clipboard and a pencil before turning to Clayton.

Varsity Trim: You want to record it or should I?

Clayton Potter: I'll let you do it. I usually know where to find them when they're misplaced.

Varsity Trim: Suit yourself.

She said as the two of them left the office. Shadow smiled at their efforts of working together.

Shadow Moonlight: *thinking* Seems like people are regaining their cooperation and composure ever since the Friendship Games. If only Sci-Twi decided to stick around just a little longer. I wonder how they're all doing over at Camp Everfree.

Right when he was finished with his thought, his phone began to ring in his pocket. He pulled it out and saw that it was you calling him.

Shadow Moonlight: Y/N? Must be an emergency.

He then answered the call.

Shadow Moonlight: Hey dude, how's it hanging?

(Y/N) (Over Phone): Hey, I'm sure you're probably busy, but do you have a moment?

Shadow Moonlight: Uh, yeah, sure. What's up?

(Y/N) (Over Phone): I... have a bit of a dilemma here at Camp Everfree that may require your assistance.

Shadow Moonlight: I figured. So what is it? Did Sci-Twi tell you about why she hasn't been herself lately?

(Y/N) (Over Phone): Yeah, I know all about her being afraid to tell us about Midnight Sparkle and all but that's not our issue. Gloriosa has obtained some kind of magic through some stones she's wearing. Do you know anything about those?

Shadow Moonlight: Oh, those things. Yeah, she told me about them awhile back. She discovered them in some cave near the camp and they gave her the ability to manipulate nature at will.

(Y/N) (Over Phone): Yeah well, it's that ability that's creating negative consequences for our camp experience. Me and Tim are trying to get her to dispose of them but she's too set on making it "the best week of camp ever" to listen to us. You think you could come by to help us convince her?

Shadow Moonlight: I don't know, man. I've got a lot going on right now. This student governor job barely gives me any free time.

(Y/N) (Over Phone): Please, Shad. Gloriosa's only going to make everything worse and worse if she doesn't let those stones go and Tim and I can't really scold her for it.

Shadow Moonlight: Why not? You two are perfectly capable of doing it.

(Y/N) (Over Phone): Yeah, but this is your strong suit, Shad. Remember what Indigo said?

Shadow Moonlight: *Indigo's voice* You always were a no nonsense kind of person.

(Y/N) (Over Phone): Exactly. Come on, we need your help.

Shadow Moonlight: *sigh* I'll see what I can do, Y/N. But I can't make any promises.

(Y/N) (Over Phone): That's good enough. Thanks, Shad.

Shadow Moonlight: No worries, bud. I'll see you there.

He hangs up as he calls out to someone in another room.

Shadow Moonlight: Hey Star? Do you have a moment?

???: Sure, I'll be right there.

Immediately, a crystal prep student walked in from the door next to Shadow's desk and straight into the office. She was a girl with lilac skin, purple and teal hair and sapphire blue eyes and goes by the name Starlight Glimmer.

Starlight Glimmer: What can I do you for, Shads?

Shadow Moonlight: There's some dire situation that I need to sort out. You mind taking over for me in my absence?

Starlight Glimmer: Sure, I'll get right on it!

She nods as Shadow got up from his chair and allowed Starlight to sit there in his place. As he headed out of the office, Shadow couldn't help but smile at her already handling the paperwork.

Shadow Moonlight: *thinking* I'm so glad she's vice president. I couldn't handle this job without her.

Thanks to yours and his magical training sessions, he learned how to replicate your teleportation technique as he pictured the main campgrounds in his mind and snapped his fingers. In an instant, he was at the main grounds of the camp as he looked around.

Shadow Moonlight: Sweet! It worked! Adagio, I'm not sure if you meant to give me something this powerful but if you did, thanks. Alright, now to find  Y/N.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Over by the docks, the (Hu)Mane 5 are busy working on repairing the docks. However, they were all moving slowly due to them fearing that their powers would activate. Regardless, they continued their slow, meticulous work. Well...all of them except for Rarity who was busy sewing something for the camp fashion show. After bracing herself for a magical outburst only to find that nothing happened, Rainbow let out a sigh of relief before turning to Rarity with a raised eyebrow.

Rainbow Dash: Uh, you gonna give us a hand here, Rarity?

Rarity: Oh, I'd love to, but I really need to get the stitching on this poncho done if it's going to make it into the camp fashion show. Though at the pace you two are moving, I don't know that the runway will ever be finished.

Applejack: The dock is our gift to the camp, and it's gonna get finished. That is, if Rainbow Dash would hurry up and bring me more wood.

Rainbow Dash: Oh, I can't go any faster! I don't want to end up in the woods again.

Applejack: Don't be silly.

Rainbow Dash: Really?

She asked before doing a hammering motion with a sarcastic look. Applejack sighed.

Applejack: I know I said we should try to forget all about this new magic business, but I can't. What if I hammer the board into splinters?

The rest of them nodded in agreement as Applejack stood up for a moment.

Applejack: Aw, shoot! I'm all out of nails.

Pinkie Pie: Oh, here you go!

She exclaimed as she threw a box full of nails to her friends.

Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, & Rainbow Dash: Pinkie, no!

They all screamed as they duck and covered. Rarity instinctively raised her arms up which summoned the diamond shields from before as the nails bounced off the shield and onto the floor. Everyone stood back up and glared at Pinkie as she gave them a quizzical expression.

Pinkie Pie: What? Ohhh, did you think the nails would explode like the sprinkles? Wow! Glad that didn't happen, huh?

Rarity: *sighs* Sorry, girls. I didn't mean to. I don't know how to control this.

Rainbow Dash: It's okay.

Fluttershy: Oh, none of us do.

Sunset Shimmer: Which is why we shouldn't pretend this isn't happening.

She called out as she walked up to all of them.

Rainbow Dash: Do you have them now, too?

Sunset Shimmer: It started last night. When I touch people, it's like I can feel what they're feeling and see their memories.

Pinkie Pie: Oooh, fancy! Try me, try me!

She placed Sunset's hand on her forehead as Sunset's eyes glowed white and saw... something she wasn't prepared for.

Pinkie Pie: La-la-la-la. Ooh, taffy!

Sunset returned to reality as she looked off into a distance with an emotionless face.

Sunset Shimmer: That explains so much.

Pinkie Pie: Yep.

She then brushed it off and turned to all of them.

Sunset Shimmer: Girls, we can't just brush these powers aside because it doesn't seem like the ideal time to get them. What if it turns out that they could actually make things better?

(Play Song: Embrace The Magic)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Sunset Shimmer (Singing):

So you have magic

And it's not that great

But when it found you

You know it was fate

And it might seem scary now

But it can be wonderful, too

So how about we embrace the magic

And make the magic part of you?

You take a little dash of magic

And you let it ignite

Mix things up a little bit

And it might start to go right

In just five seconds flat

How the story has changed

All 'cause now you've embraced the magic

And it just got better in every way

I say embrace the magic

No more holding back, just let it out

If you can take the magic

And learn a little more what it can do

Once the magic is part of you

What's standing in your way

That you can't move today?

You've got the strength in you

To make your dreams come true

No need to shield yourself

From the magic that can help

Protect from any harm that might come

So you have magic

And it's not that great

But when it found you

You know it was fate

So if you listen close

You might make a new friend

And together we can make it!

I say embrace the magic

No more holding back, just let it out

If you can take the magic

And learn a little more what it can do

Once the magic is part of you

Once the magic is part of you

Once the magic is part of you

Once the magic is part of you

(End Song)

Finally, after all of that, the Rainbooms' hard work had paid off as the dock was now fully repaired.

Rainbow Dash: Okay, that was pretty awesome!

Sunset Shimmer: And look what you managed to accomplish!

Rarity: Please, please, please can we do a run-through for the fashion show on it right this minute?

Applejack: Thought you weren't finished with the stitching on your poncho.

Rarity: I am now.

Sunset Shimmer: Get started without me. I've gotta go find Sci-Twi and Y/N. Seeing what we've been able to do here might make Sci-Twi embrace the new magic, too! Uh, not that she has any.

She walked over to the nearby boathouse as she heard a series of voices belonging to you, Timber, Gloriosa, and... Shadow?

Gloriosa Daisy: *muffled* I just wish you didn't tell them that ridiculous story!

Timber Spruce: Ah, this is all too much for you! You have to let it go!

(Y/N): Face it Glori, all it's ever done is cause nothing but trouble! You need to get rid of it!

Gloriosa Daisy: I can't do that! It's all we have left!

Shadow Moonlight: This isn't an argument! Either you do it or one of us will have to for you! If you really want what's best for this camp, then do what we're telling you to do!

Sunset's eyes widened to the size of dinner plates after hearing you and Shadow supposedly trying to encourage Gloriosa to get rid of something.

Sunset Shimmer:  I knew it! Timber wants her to get rid of the camp! But... Why would Y/N and Shadow want that too? They met Timber and Gloriosa here all those years ago, so why would they want the camp to be gone? And now that I think about it, why is Shadow even here?

As she was in the middle of a personal thought, the boathouse door swung open and slammed into her as she comically stuck to it for a second until she slid to the floor. Gloriosa was soon revealed to have opened the door as you, Timber, and Shadow followed her out.

(Y/N): Well, so much for that.

Timber Spruce: *sigh* Thanks for trying anyways, guys.

Shadow Moonlight: Oh no. We are not giving up that easily. The longer she holds onto it, the more corrupt she'll become.

(Y/N): It's what happened with the others. I don't want Gloriosa to be the next.

Timber Spruce: Well, talking to her about it didn't work, so what can we do now?

Shadow Moonlight: Either we dispose of it by force or we just let it play out. But I'd rather not risk any casualties.

(Y/N): Shadow's got a point. There's no point for her to hold onto it for much longer. I say it's gotta be dealt with by force.

Timber Spruce: Alright then. Question is, how are we gonna do this?

(Y/N): Guess we'll just have to improvise. It's not gonna be easy, but it's for the best.

Shadow Moonlight: *sigh* I didn't think it'd have to come to this but she's limited all our options at this point.

He finished as you all walked away as Sunset reemerged from behind the door as she was listening in on your conversation. She then stepped off the porch and accidentally bumped into someone as they were revealed to be Flash Sentry.

Flash Sentry: Sunset Shimmer? What were you doing behind that door?

Sunset Shimmer: What? Um, nothing! I, um, lost an earring. Uh, there it is!

She picked up a small stone and put it in her pocket.

Flash Sentry: Listen, I'm glad I ran into you. I wanted to talk to you about something.

Sunset Shimmer: What is it?

Flash Sentry: That talk we had yesterday about letting go, it really allowed me to clear my head and get my priorities straight. As much as I want Princess Twilight to be here with us, I know that she's got bigger responsibilities in her world and I have to accept that.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, good. I'm glad you were able to come to terms with that, Flash.

Flash Sentry: What about you? Were you able to deal with your jealousy of Y/N?

Sunset Shimmer: In a way, yes. He and I talked and we came to a little compromise of sorts. He promised that if this trip didn't go so well that he'd take us on a date after we head back home.

Flash Sentry: Yeah, that sounds like something Y/N would say alright. Anyways, you seem a bit bothered by something. Is something wrong?

Sunset grew a bit nervous from his question until she sighed.

Sunset Shimmer: Okay, here's the deal. My boyfriend's friend is most likely someone who isn't what he claims to be and now I just learned that he might be part of this plan to try and shut down the camp and on top of that, he's brought his other childhood friend here to back him up and I very much wish to tell the others about this because they all deserve to know. You know?

Flash raised an eyebrow at that.

Flash Sentry: Nnnno. But what I do know is that you may want to check your facts before telling them.

Sunset Shimmer: What do you mean?

Flash Sentry: Well, they may have been talking about something else. I don't think Y/N really wants this camp gone since he seems to really like it but I could be wrong. However, I do believe that Y/N wouldn't want this camp to be demolished. I know him too well to believe that and so should you.

Sunset Shimmer: *sigh* You might have a point there. It's all just speculation for me right now. I guess I might be jumping to conclusions.

Flash Sentry: Look, I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just saying make sure that you're one hundred percent correct about it before spreading misinformation.

Sunset Shimmer: Still though, you agree that something weird's going on, right?

Flash nodded.

Flash Sentry: Yeah, weird things have been happening since we got here. I'll agree to that.

Sunset then noticed you, Shadow, and Timber walking into a nearby thicket.

Sunset Shimmer: And I think they may have the reason behind it. Come on, let's go.

Flash Sentry: Wait, you wanna eavesdrop? I don't think that's a good idea.

Sunset Shimmer: They've been keeping too many secrets from us, Flash. We deserve some answers to all the crazy things that have been happening this week.

Flash Sentry: Alright, alright. But if we get caught, this was your idea.

Sunset Shimmer: Fair enough.

She said as she and Flash ran to follow you, Shadow, and Timber. As Sunset and Flash followed close behind, you, Shadow, and Timber were personally speaking.

(Y/N): Where are you even taking us, Tim?

Shadow Moonlight: Yeah, I don't think a nice stroll through the woods is gonna solve our problem.

Timber Spruce: You'll see. I'll inform you guys on the details when we get there.

Shadow Moonlight: *sigh* Alright, but if this is a joke, I will destroy you.

(Y/N): Shadow...

You said sternly.

Shadow Moonlight: I meant that I was gonna chew him out for it. What were you thinking I was gonna do?

(Y/N): Obviously something I'd try to talk you out of or at least prevent you from doing it in some way.

Shadow Moonlight: Can I at least try to live up to being dark and edgy without you weighing me down?

You were about to say something else until Timber interjected.

Timber Spruce: Guys, stay focused. We're nearly there and keep your voices down, someone may be following us.

(Y/N): No one saw us, Tim. We're fine.

Shadow Moonlight: Well, it wouldn't hurt to be extra cautious.

(Y/N): Alright, alright.

You said as you continued to follow Timber. This went on until the three of you walked behind a boulder that was obstructing a sort of cave entrance near the rock quarry. Sunset and Flash came to a stop behind some nearby bushes.

Sunset Shimmer: That's odd. Why would they go in there?

Flash Sentry: Beats me. I mean, Timber did say that it was off limits so this is kinda hypocritical. Unless they have a good reason.

Sunset Shimmer: I'm gonna text Sci-Twi and tell her to meet us here. She'll need to know about this place too.

She pulled out her phone and texted Sci-Twi who soon received the message while she and Spike were at their tent.

Sci-Twi: It's Sunset. She says to meet her by the rock quarry.

Spike: I thought we weren't supposed to hike out that far.

Sci-Twi: She says it's important!

She exclaimed as she left the tent and walked into the forest. After a few minutes, she met up with Sunset and Flash. Right as she got to them,she noticed a bright pink light emerge from somewhere in the forest which surprised her and caused her to slow down.

Sci-Twi: What is that?

She asked and then her face got caught in a spiderweb which made her freak out as she pulled it off of her face but it was short lived as Sunset covered her mouth.

Sunset Shimmer: Shhh!

She shushed as she pulled her behind the bushes as Flash ducked down. They peered over the top as Sunset narrowed her eyes.

Sci-Twi: What's going on down there?

Sunset Shimmer: I think it's Gaea Everfree. Or rather, someone who wants us to think she's back. C'mon!

Flash Sentry: Right behind ya.

They all proceeded to leave the sanctity of the bushes and into the dark cave below them. They passed by the two boulders that almost closed off the entrance and they found themselves within a cave decorated with rupees and a white little mountain that was in a spotlight coming from the sun.

Sci-Twi: This place is beautiful.

Sunset Shimmer: There's Equestrian magic here. I can... I can feel it.

Flash Sentry: I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.

Spike: Wait. I thought Timber was just faking there was a magical nature creature. Are you saying it's real?

Sunset Shimmer: If it is, it would explain why Shadow and Y/N took his side.

Sci-Twi: Shadow? What does he have to do with any of this?

???: Nothing.

A female voice came up from behind them. They all simultaneously turned around and saw the form of Gloriosa Daisy stepping out from the darkness.

Gloriosa Daisy: It was all me.

She finished the sentence with a sadistic grin.

Sunset Shimmer: Gloriosa? But... Timber. I was sure he was the one trying to make it seem like Gaea Everfree was back. It was you who was trying to scare everyone away?

Gloriosa Daisy: I would never try to scare anyone away from Camp Everfree.

Sunset then quickly grabbed Gloriosa's wrist as her memories were finally revealed. The first being a scene that included her and Filthy Rich at her office as they were discussing amongst one another.

Filthy Rich (past): My, oh, my. You fell behind on your payments, Gloriosa. I own the land now.

Gloriosa Daisy (past): Please. My great grandparents founded this place. It's been in our family for generations! You have to let the camp stay!

Filthy Rich (past): Instead of turning it into a spa resort that will line my pockets with more money than this camp ever could? *chuckles* I don't think so.

Gloriosa Daisy (past): Please! I-I-I-I just need a little more time!

Filthy Rich (past): Fine. I'll give you 'til the end of the month. Hmph.

Gloriosa began to sob on her desk. We then cut to another scene as we see Gloriosa still sobbing while near a stream.

Gloriosa Daisy (past): What do I do?

She then looked down at the stream in front of her as she noticed something in the reflection that looked like a streak of magic flying by. She looked up and sure enough she saw the same streak flying towards something. She followed it until it led her to the cave system near the rock quarry as she squeezed between the two boulders to get inside. She soon found the white mountain formation as she noticed eight tiny stones of different colors which included: Red, Orange, Blue, Purple, pink, light pink, indigo, and (F/C).

She slowly walked over to the formation and reached out and touched the small gemstones. As soon as she did, the stones immediately glowed as light shot out everywhere and she fell backwards and fell on some vines that seemingly broke her fall. Five of the stones then floated into her hand as she stared at them astonished by what just happened.

We then cut to another scene as Gloriosa was back at her office as she was having a heated argument with Timber and Shadow over the stones.

Timber Spruce (past): You don't know what those things are!

Gloriosa Daisy (past): But I know what they can do!

Gloriosa Daisy (past): I've been practicing! I can control their power now!

Shadow Moonlight (past): That only makes it worse and you don't know that for sure! Those things could corrupt you or even kill you!

Timber Spruce (past): I agree with him. I can't lose another family member!

Shadow Moonlight (past): Tim, we tried.

Gloriosa Daisy (past): This is our camp, and it's being taken away!

Shadow Moonlight: I'm sure there's another way to handle this, Glori but you can't just use something like this to save a camp. If anything it's only going to steer campers away!

Gloriosa Daisy (past): If this has to be our last week here, I'm going to use whatever it takes to make it count!

We then cut to yet another scene where we see Derpy and Sandalwood from earlier as they were on the sailboat. However, it's revealed that Gloriosa was nearby watching the whole thing as she decided to use her powers which made two large vines come out of the water and push the sailboat with a lot of force which made it crash into the dock.

Another scene is shown as Trixie and Micro Chips were out fishing but the stream they were at was dried up. Gloriosa is also shown as she noticed a bunch of boulders blocking the flow of water. She then used her powers again to try and clear the blockage as it caused a whole bunch of water to wash over Micro Chips and Trixie.

One final scene plays as we see you, Timber, Shadow, and Gloriosa at the boathouse as you were having the argument from earlier, only this time, the context was much more clearer.

Shadow Moonlight (past): Haven't you done enough damage already with those?!

(Y/N) (past): Yeah Glori, it's gotten way too out of hand now!

Timber Spruce (past): I agree with them. I mean, you were using magic all over the place! I had to tell them something to cover for you! What did you want me to do?!

Gloriosa Daisy (past): I just wish you didn't tell them that ridiculous story!

Timber Spruce (past): Ah, this is all too much for you! You have to let it go!

(Y/N) (past): Face it Glori, all it's ever done is cause nothing but trouble! You need to get rid of it!

Gloriosa Daisy (past): I can't do that! It's all we have left!

Shadow Moonlight (past): This isn't an argument! Either you do it or one of us will have to for you! If you really want what's best for this camp, then do what we're telling you to do!

Sunset finally snapped back to reality as she let go of Gloriosa's wrist.

Sunset Shimmer: They weren't talking about letting go of the camp. They were talking about you letting go of the magical geodes! All those things you were doing to make this week the best week ever. Every time you used magic to do them, you caused another problem somewhere else! Timber, Y/N, and Shadow were... covering for you!

Gloriosa Daisy: How do you know what I was doing with the geodes? How do you know about the magic?

Sunset Shimmer: I can see things. Feel things. Because I have magic, too. And so does she. And so do our friends.

Flash Sentry: Not me though but that's besides the point.

Sci-Twi: Gloriosa, they weren't wrong. Maybe you should stop using magic. Too much of it can be dangerous if you can't control it.

Flash Sentry: These two know what they're talking about so I would take their word for it if I were you.

Gloriosa Daisy: Oh, I got this. And I'm going to use the magic to save my camp. I just need more power!

Sci-Twi, Flash Sentry, & Sunset Shimmer: No!

She grabbed the last three geodes before she made a bunch of vines grow from the ground and wrap themselves around Sunset, Flash, Sci-Twi, and Spike. Soon, much like the other times before, Gloriosa's form began to change due to the magic she possessed. Finally, her transformation was complete. She now had a set of blue violetish black eyes with light brilliant harlequin pupils. Her hair was now a mix of moderate cyan and light brilliant turquoise and her skin was a ceriseish gray.

Gaea Everfree: Sorry everyone. I know what I need to do. But I feel like we're not on the same page. So...

Flash, Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer: *struggling* Gloriosa!

Gaea Everfree: I am Gaea Everfree now and I will never let anyone take Camp Everfree away from me, no matter what.

She said and left everyone in the cave and used her magic to summon vines to move the boulders to seal the entrance away.

Flash, Sci-Twi and Sunset Shimmer: NO!!

You, Shadow and Timber are still in the woods, looking for Gloriosa.

Timber Spruce: Okay, I'm sure she might've gone this way.

(Y/N): Uh, Tim?

Timber Spruce: Not now, man. I'm almost certain we're close to her.

Shadow Moonlight: Dude, can you just admit we're lost?

(Y/N): Yeah, I think Gloriosa may have used the geodes' magic to trick us into going the wrong way so we won't find her.

Timber Spruce: *sigh* Well, what now?

(Y/N): Let me try to sense the geodes' magical energy.

You said and went to sense the geodes' energy, only to detect a dark and powerful energy which made you gasp, gaining the attention of your two childhood friends.

Shadow Moonlight: What? What is it?

(Y/N): They finished building the dock!

Timber and Shadow look at each other with a deadpan look before turning it to you to which you responded by raising your shoulders.

(Y/N): What? They were working real hard on that. Just think that it's something worth praising for.

Timber Spruce: That's nice, dude but can you or can you not find Gloriosa?

Shadow Moonlight: He can but he's trying not to.

You then went back to focusing your energy until you were able to pick up something very powerful slowly heading towards Camp Everfree.

(Y/N): Oh no. We've got trouble.

Shadow Moonlight: Is it actual trouble this time?

He crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow.

(Y/N): Yeah, smartass, something powerful is heading towards the camp and I've got a feeling who it might be.

Timber Spruce: Well, what are we doing standing here then? Let's go!

Shadow & (Y/N): Right!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Lyra, BonBon, Pinkie, Applejack, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Rarity were busy setting up the runway show as Rarity grew a little impatient from yours as well as Sci-Twi and Sunset's absence.

Rarity: Where are Y/N, Sci-Twi, and Sunset? *sigh* They're missing our dress rehearsal.

Pinkie Pie: Uh-uh.

Rarity: I suppose we can get started without them. Whenever you're ready!

Vinyl Scratch: You got it!

She then started playing some techno pop music as the other students started strutting and striking poses as Applejack was admiring her current attire.

Rarity: Hmm. Told you you'd like it.

Applejack: It's alright... I guess. I do get to keep it after camp though, right?

Rarity nodded before they were the next ones up. Meanwhile, Snips and Snails were filling up some water balloons at a nearby water spigot until they noticed Gaea Everfree casually floating past them which confused them.

Snails: She looks... different.

Snips: Yeah. She looks... taller.

We cut back to Rarity and the others as the runway show continued.

Rarity: This is only a preview. I've got another entire line I'll debut at the real thing.

Suddenly, the music stopped as everyone began staring off towards the forest with horrified looks.

Rarity: Why did you stop the—? *gasps* Oh, my goodness!

Gaea Everfree: Attention, campers!

Trixie Lulamoon: It's Gaea Everfree!

Sandalwood: She's real!

Bulk Biceps: Aah! We're doomed!

You, Timber, and Shadow finally made it as Timber held a horrified look.

Timber Spruce: Gloriosa?! What are you doing?!

(Y/N): Well, she's obviously become a bad ripoff of Poison Ivy.

Shadow Moonlight: That's the first thing you could think of?

(Y/N): What? Am I not right that she's just a horrendous knockoff of the famous DC plant villain?

Shadow Moonlight: *sigh* She's lost her sanity.

(Y/N): Well, obviously.

Shadow Moonlight: Okay, for the rest of the trip, lay off the pop-culture references. And yes that includes the guys upstairs.

(Jordanwolfboy9743: *Mirror Fourth wall shatters* *sigh* Welp, so much for a one way mirror.)

(Shadowlight2784: I maxed out my student loans for that mirror! Why does he always have to break our walls?!)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: Why are you asking me? I didn't make him overly edgy.)

(Shadowlight2784: Edgy doesn't have anything to do with him being meta.)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: Didn't you say that that's what he does when he wants food or something?)

(Shadowlight2784: *sigh* Yes but I just got him Popeyes earlier today! He can't possibly want more food!)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: *groan* Fine then! The fates themselves clearly want us to do this without a fourth wall.)

(Shadowlight2784: Should we cancel the one that's supposed to come then?)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: *sigh* Might as well... might... as... freggin... well because we are losing fourth walls faster than we're getting them. Let's just... let's just get back to the film. Plus, I'm pretty sure our audience is sick of it at this point.)

(Shadowlight2784: I'm sure they are. It's happened more times than we would've thought. It's times like these where I wish 4th wall breaks were never a thing.)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: You and me both, pal, you and me both.)

Timber Spruce: We've gotta stop her!

Shadow Moonlight: Sure thing. Y/N, you up for another round of fighting?

(Y/N): Oh ho! Do you even know who you're asking? I'm always up for fighting the forces of evil! Same as with Midnight Sparkle?

Shadow Moonlight: Nah, I don't think that's gonna work this time. I think we'll need to come up with something else. First rule of fighting evil, let them distract themselves with their overly long and dramatic monologues.

(Y/N): Or in this case, a needless and out of nowhere musical number?

Shadow Moonlight: I'm not really sure which one she's gonna do but, yeah, I guess.

Gaea Everfree: I have an announcement to make! Filthy Rich wants this to be the last session of Camp Everfree. But don't worry, I've got this!

She then dug her hands into the ground as a whole wall of thorny vines and roots sprung up all around the camp as some of them destroyed the up until just recently repaired dock.

Rainbow Dash: Oh, come on! We literally just finished building that!

(Y/N): *mutters* Again...

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Gaea Everfree (Singing):

I have waited for the day

To send this greedy wolf away

Now the magic is my salvation

Gather close in my protection

We... will... stand for Everfree!

Behold the beauty of nature in all its glory

No need to fear the vultures at the door

Right here you have me to protect you

Within these walls of thorns

Forever free, forevermore!

They have come into our domain

Here to seal our camp in chains

But we have held it for generations

This is just a complication

We... will... stand for Everfree!

Trust in me, this is for your own good

Don't be afraid, nature is our friend

All of this beauty that surrounds us

Every lovely bloom designed to defend

Let them come, just let them try!

I'm not about to say goodbye!

This camp will be here throughout the ages

Written into the history pages

We... will... stand for Everfree!

(End Song)

(Y/N): OH! *claps* CALLED IT!

Shadow Moonlight: Well, I should've seen this coming. I mean there was a musical number that built up to V/N and Midnight Sparkle.

As Gaea Everfree continued to encase the camp in roots and vines, the girls looked on as Fluttershy couldn't help but sigh in annoyance.

Fluttershy: Oh, why do these kinds of things always happen to us?

(Y/N): Because we're heroes, Flutters. And bad things usually happen to heroes.

Shadow Moonlight: That's one way to put it.

Rarity: What are we going to do?

Rainbow Dash: What we always do! Save the day!

Shadow Moonlight: Now that is something I can work for!

(Y/N): Me too, bud! Let's bring out the weed killer for this one!

Shadow Moonlight: Aw man, you stole my one liner.

(Y/N): Heh, you snooze, you lose, buddy. Now let's do this!

Shadow nods as he pulls his pendant out from behind his neck and grabs the gem part as it glowed a dark purple before it transformed him into Shadowlight as you were starting to Pony-Up.

(Y/N): Hey! Overgrown dandelion! Your plants suck!

Shadowlight: Um, I don't think that's gonna-

Gaea Everfree: What did you just say?!

Shadowlight: ...work.

Gaea reached into the ground once more as the ground began to shake and rumble as more bramble popped out and tried to grab you and Shadowlight. However, you both managed to fly around them as you started cutting them all to pieces much to the annoyance of Gaea. Shadow then took this time to summon some shadow knights and some other new entity.

(Y/N): Uh, what is that?

Shadowlight: Oh that? Just a new kind of mercenary I call Black Demons. They'll just be defending the campers while the shadow knights help slice their way through the vines. They won't get in our way.

(Y/N): *sigh* You really love to show off with those soldiers of yours, huh?

Shadowlight: Well, you show off plenty of magical powers that you got. You mostly have power as an advantage over me. As for my advantage, it's numbers.

(Y/N): Sure, sure. Alright, we need to keep Gaea busy while the others try to find a way out. Your knights can help out with that.

Shadowlight: Will do.

He then looked down at his fellow knights.

Shadowlight: Clear a path through the roots to get everyone out of here ASAP.

Shadow Knights: Yes, sir!

They saluted before running off to the others. Speaking of the others, they were doing their best with trying to put a hole in Gaea's defensive bramble but the roots continued to regenerate with each attempt. Rarity started using her diamond shields to protect her fellow students from harm as she Ponied-Up.  Rainbow Dash was zooming around at super speed in her Pony-Up while saving some students from being trapped by the bramble. Fluttershy then knocked on the ground as some gophers popped out of it.

Fluttershy: Um, hi. Do you think you can give us a hand— um, er, paw? We could really use a way out.

She asked as she had Ponied-Up.

Gerald: Right away! Come on, guys! Let's go!

The other gophers agreed as they began digging a tunnel underground. Applejack then uses her super strength to a lift a huge rock and Ponies-Up. She then tosses the rock up into the air, jumped up and punches it into the bramble wall, creating a huge hole but vines quickly grow over the opening Applejack made which makes her grunt and roll up her sleeves.

The gophers helping Fluttershy finished making a hole to go under the bramble wall so everyone can escape through it.

Gerald: Alright, you guys can go through.

Fluttershy smiles as she hears this but then Gaea Everfree uses her magic to make vines grow out of the gopher hole, preventing anyone from escaping through it.

Pinkie puts some sprinkles into her right hand and ignites them, getting them ready to explode and as Pinkie tosses the sprinkles at the bramble wall, she Ponies-Up and the magic sprinkle bombs explode on contact with the bramble wall, creating a few holes in the bramble wall.

The bramble wall starts to regenerate where the holes were and Applejack shoves a bench into one of the holes to keep it open but the vines snap the table in half. Pinkie gets ready to throw more magic sprinkle bombs when more vines appear and trap Lyra, Bon Bon and Valhallen while some vines knock Pinkie onto the ground and cause her to drop her jar of sprinkles.

Pinkie goes to grab her jar of sprinkles but claw-like vines hover over her and are about to strike when Applejack jumps onto the vines and wrestles with them before being tossed aside and as an bunch of vines are about to trap Applejack, Rarity jumps in and protects herself and Applejack by creating a diamond bubble.

Gaea Everfree then uses her magic to trap more people with her vines, Rainbow Dash rushes and tries to save anyone she could but isn't quick enough until some vines catch her but then Pinkie uses her magical exploding sprinkles to destroy the vines that caught Rainbow Dash and saving the rainbow hair girl.

Pinkie then smiles and juggles the jar of sprinkles and catches it but this accidently makes her ignite her jar of sprinkles into an bomb which she notices and she quickly tosses the explosive jar away into a bramble wall, creating a large hole which vines quickly grow over and preventing anyone from escaping.

Applejack: This isn't working! Her magic is too strong!

Both you and Shadowlight saw this and grunted in frustration.

Shadowlight: She's a stubborn one, I'll give you that much.

(Y/N): Yeah, much more than Midnight Sparkle ever gave us.

Meanwhile, back with Sunset, Sci-Twi, Flash, and Spike, the tiny purple canine had managed to bite out of his restraints as he began working on Sunset and his owner. After another moment of chewing, Spike was able to free his three human companions.

Sunset Shimmer: Thanks Spike!

Flash Sentry: We gotta stop Gaea before it's too late!

Sci-Twi: Right!

They all ran to the entrance as Sunset and Flash tried pushing the boulder out of the way but it was too heavy. Sunset then turned to Sci-Twi.

Sunset Shimmer: Sci-Twi, you have to use your magic!

Sci-Twi: I don't think I can lift something that big.

Sunset Shimmer: It's our only chance of getting out of here and helping our friends!

Flash Sentry: Yeah Twi, you're the only one who can get us out. You've gotta try!

After giving it much thought, Sci-Twi soon realized that there was only one option. To tap into Midnight Sparkle's power to lift the boulders which she started doing just that as the boulder slowly started floating into the air while surrounded in a purple aura. Fortunately, she managed to push the boulder out of the way as she felt slightly light headed from exerting herself. Flash managed to catch her as he and Sunset both smiled at her before the three of them along with Spike ran back to the camp.

Back with you and the others, you and Shadow continued to fend off Gaea Everfree as she was now standing on the sundial with an irritated look.

Gaea Everfree: Why are you fighting me?! I'm doing this to save our camp! I'm doing this for you!

(Y/N): By trapping us behind giant thorny walls?!

Shadowlight: *sarcasm* Yeah, really seems that way.

Rarity: *chuckles nervously* Gloriosa, let's just think about this for a moment, shall we? I mean, I think Camp Everfree is absolutely delightful, but I just don't know that I'm quite ready to give up my weekly trips to the spa.

Gaea Everfree: *sweetly* To the spa...? *enraged* To the spa?!

Shadow Moonlight: Hey, don't steal Sour Sweet's characteristics!

(Y/N): *sigh* You just HAD to say spa, didn't you Rarity?

Rarity: Oops... sorry. *nervously chuckles*

Shadowlight: Well, look at it this way, man. At least now she seems like she's in a mood to put up a good fight.

He smirked as he cracked his knuckles.

(Y/N): So, you're turning out like Goku now? Where you wanna fight her at her best? That's literally the most reckless thing a fighter can do!

Shadowlight: What can I say? Old habits die hard.

Timber Spruce: Gloriosa, this isn't the way!

Gaea Everfree: I appreciate your concern, Timber, but I got this!

She screamed as she wrapped him in roots which restrained him.

Timber Spruce: Agh! No, you don't!

Shadowlight: Tim!

Without a second thought, Shadowlight rushes down to where Timber was being consumed by the roots as he struggles to break him free.

Shadowlight: I'm not going to lose another friend!

(Y/N): *sigh* He's gonna get himself killed.

You use your magic and teleport him back to where you were as he turned to you with a glare.

Shadowlight: Dude, why did you do that? I was going to free Tim!

(Y/N): The girls have got that handled! We need to keep Gaea busy and I can't do that without your help!

Shadowlight: Ngh! Black Demons front and center!

He commands as the black demons follow his orders.

Shadowlight: Assist us in stalling Gaea Everfree!

Black Demons: Yes, sir!

They shouted before they flew towards Gaea who rose more roots up to stop them. Just outside the wall, Sunset, Sci-Twi, Flash, and Spike had finally made it back as Sunset tried pulling apart the bramble but to no avail.

Sunset Shimmer: Sci-Twi, do you think you can use your magic?

Sci-Twi: I don't want to use too much. Midnight Sparkle could take over.

Sunset Shimmer: Twilight, our friends are in there!

She grabbed her hands as she too had Ponied-Up.

Flash Sentry: She's got a point. And there's nothing we can do for them out here.

Sci-Twi thought for a second before reluctantly agreeing.

Sci-Twi: Okay.

She then tapped into her magic again and tried to pull apart the bramble in order to create a hole. Timber continued to struggle in Gaea's roots as he turned his head up to look at her.

Timber Spruce: Please, Gloriosa! What you're doing is crazy! You have to listen to me!

Sunset Shimmer: That isn't Gloriosa.

Sunset said as she along with Sci-Twi, Flash, and Spike stepped in through a hole Sci-Twi created thanks to her magic.

Rarity: Twilight!

Applejack: Sunset!

Rainbow Dash: You're okay!

Sunset and Sci-Twi went over to Timber and tried to free him.

Sunset Shimmer: That isn't your sister. It's someone who's been consumed by Equestrian magic.

Timber Spruce: Whoever you are, you have to let my sister go! Please, Gloriosa, come back! I need you!

He asked desperately as he started crying slightly. The roots encasing him started wrapping around him even more.

Timber Spruce: Gloriosa!

He shouted before he was completely consumed much to yours and Shadowlight's horror.

Shadowlight: NO!

He then glared at the vines that engulfed Gaea Everfree as his dark purple and black aura emitted from his white eyes as it slowly began to grow until you stepped in.

(Y/N): Dude, calm down! We can't kill her!

Shadowlight: I'm not gonna kill her, Y/N but I'm putting a stop to this now!

(Y/N): Dude, listen! Gloriosa's still in there somewhere, we need to snap her back to her senses and this isn't gonna do it!

Shadowlight: I can't lose another friend, Y/N! I've gone through tartus and back to keep them!

(Y/N): Look, I don't think Timber's dead! Gloriosa might be evil right now, but she's not trying to kill us! She wants to trap us here forever!

Shadowlight: Did you not see what happened to him?! Those roots were about to crush him to death!

(Y/N): No man! He's not dead! I can still sense his presence! Would I lie about that?!

Shadowlight: *sigh* I honestly don't know but I trust you enough to believe that you wouldn't.

His aura dissipated as you went over to him.

(Y/N): Anger is not the answer here. We need to stay level headed if we ever hope to stop Gaea.

You then looked down at the girls as they were being cornered by the ever growing bramble. You gained a determined look before turning back to Shadowlight.

(Y/N): Shadow, I think I've got a plan, but I'll need your help. Keep Gaea occupied while I execute the plan.

Shadowlight: Sure, sounds good to me.

He then turns to all his summoned mercenaries.

Shadowlight: All of you! Focus on Gaea Everfree! Make sure to keep all of her attention on you at all costs!

The mercenaries saluted him before charging at Gaea Everfree while you quickly flew down to where the girls were. You got in the middle and summoned a diamond dome all around you.

Rainbow Dash: Thanks for the save, Y/N!

(Y/N): No problem. Listen, I've got an idea. Sci-Twi, you need to tap into more of your power!

Sci-Twi: N-No. There's too many of them. It would take too much magic. I can't!

Sunset Shimmer: He's right, Sci-Twi! It's the only way! You have to embrace the magic inside you!

Sci-Twi: What if she takes over? What if instead of saving everyone, I turn into Midnight Sparkle and only make things worse?

Sunset Shimmer: That won't happen! We won't let it.

The bramble outside soon started banging on the shield which made you start to sweat slightly from holding them away.

(Y/N): I-It's... up... to you now... Sci-Twi!

You grunted. Hearing that made Sci-Twi more sure of herself as she started focusing her magic. The bramble outside started wrapping around the dome even more as the strain on your body grew and grew. Rarity then came to your side and conjured more shields above yours.

Rarity: Here! I've got you, love!

(Y/N): T-Thanks, Rares.

Sunset was watching Sci-Twi the whole time as she was still concentrating.

Sunset Shimmer: Come on, Sci-Twi! You have to be stronger than she is!

We then cut to the inside of her mind as Midnight Sparkle appeared once more.

Midnight Sparkle: *laughs* You will never control me! I will always be a part of you!

Sci-Twi: *whimpers* Noooo!

She then merged with Sci-Twi once more as she started gaining control of her body... until Sunset's voice echoed throughout her mind as an ethereal form of herself appeared as well as you, Shadow, and the others.

Sunset Shimmer's voice: Sci-Twi, listen to me! You are in charge!

Rarity's voice: You are a light, darling! A force for good!

Rainbow Dash's voice: Yeah! You can kick the darkness's butt!

Pinkie Pie's voice: We're here for you, Sci-Twi!

Applejack's voice: And we'll be here, no matter what!

Fluttershy's voice: We believe in you!

(Y/N)'s voice: Sci-Twi, don't let Midnight win! You are in control, not her!

Shadow's voice: No matter how powerful she claims she is, she will never have enough willpower to take over you!

Sunset Shimmer's voice: You... are not... Midnight Sparkle!

Sci-Twi struggled for another moment or so until she opened her eyes as they were filled with determination.

Sci-Twi: No! I... am... Twilight Sparkle! And the magic I carry inside me is... the Magic of Friendship!

In an instant, Sci-Twi regained control of her body as Midnight Sparkle was expelled. The bramble all around you exploded as Sci-Twi flew out and hovered next to where Gaea Everfree was. She then started using her magic to pry the bramble apart revealing Gaea who started struggling in her grasp.

Gaea Everfree: No! Stop!

Sci-Twi used her magic to pull away the geodes from around Gloriosa's neck as they all levitated themselves to the Rainbooms. One came up to you as well as it floated in your hand for a brief moment before you began to transform again. The girls soon found themselves in new crystal-like clothing as the geodes reformed themselves around your necks and became smaller and more rounded.

Meanwhile, your geode glowed as well as you too had begun to transform as pieces of your clothing started snapping themselves onto your body.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Once your transformation was complete, you found yourself in a set of what looked to be diamond plated armor.

(Basically this, except without the helmet, fur, and the cape. Armor colors are obviously yours to pick.)

A bright light then shone from you all as the surrounding bramble turned into a crystalline like shape before it began to crack and explode as everything went white. When the light cleared away, the bramble was gone as green orbs slowly floated down to the ground. Everyone came out of hiding and was relieved to see that it was all finally over. Timber woke up from his unconscious state as he saw Gloriosas nearby unconscious and rushed over to her.

Timber Spruce: Gloriosa?

He placed his hand on her shoulder as one green orb fluttered down and landed on the bridge of her nose before dissipating into her face as she slowly regained consciousness.

Gloriosa Daisy: What... What happened?

Timber Spruce: It's okay. It's gonna be okay.

He smiled warmly as he gave his sister a hug. You and the girls floated back down to solid ground as everyone began to cheer for all of you.

Spike: You did it! Whoa. Nice bling.

He commented while referring to the geodes.

Applejack: What... What are these?

Sunset Shimmer: I'm not sure. But clearly we have some kind of connection to them.

Rarity: I almost don't care what they are. They are gorgeous! *gasps* And will totally go with the other collection I was working on for the camp fashion show! *giggles* That's probably cancelled, isn't it?

???: Honestly...that's the last thing I wanna worry about right now.

You all turned and saw Shadow as he had turned back to his normal form and had his hand on his shoulder.

(Y/N): Shad. You alright, bud?

Shadow Moonlight: I'm...not sure if this is 'alright'.

He removed his hand from his shoulder as he revealed a large amount of blood stained on it and a huge red scar that was seen after his CPA uniform was slashed.

(Y/N): Yeesh! That looks bad. Hold still. I'll take care of it for you.

You said as you placed a hand on the wound as he winced in pain for a second as your hand glowed (F/C). After a brief moment, you pulled your hand away to reveal the wound to be healed.

Shadow Moonlight: Man, you really need to teach me how to do that.

(Y/N): Will do. Hey, check me out! You're now not the only knight around these parts, bud.

Shadow Moonlight: *jokingly* First my one liner, now my fashion choice? What's next, my friends? Oh wait...

You all chuckled at his joking around. Gloriosa came up to you all with an apologetic expression.

Gloriosa Daisy: I am so sorry. I only wanted this to be the best week Camp Everfree has ever had, and instead I've made it the worst. Maybe it's for the best that I'm losing the camp to Filthy Rich.

Shadow Moonlight: Wait, Filthy Rich is the one responsible for this? How come you guys never mentioned that to me?!

(Y/N): Well, to be fair Shad, a lot of other things were happening at the same time, so it... kinda slipped our minds.

Shadow Moonlight: I don't mean you, dude. I meant Glori and Tim. I've been visiting this place at least a few times each month and not once have you informed me who it was that was taking the camp.

Timber Spruce: We didn't want to get you involved, Shadow.

Gloriosa Daisy: Yeah, we didn't want you to suffer any potential backlash from him.

Shadow Moonlight: Have you two forgotten that I go to a rich school? My mom is acquainted with him. Had I known he was the one pulling the strings, she probably could've done something about it.

Timber Spruce: *sigh* In hindsight I guess we should have told him sooner.

Gloriosa Daisy: Yeah, we should have. We're sorry, Shadow.

Shadow Moonlight: Well, it's all in the past now. Can't really do much about it but I think things still turned out fine.

(Y/N): Well, not all of it. There's still all of... this to clean up.

You gestured to the camp being a total mess.

Shadow Moonlight: Oh, I can take care of that.

He snaps his fingers as many black silhouettes rose from behind him before they morphed into clones of him but with different clothes. They wore a light grey jacket with a white t-shirt that had a flaming crown symbol on it, blue jeans, dark black shoes with red laces, two arm bands with light pink spikes and a choker with crimson red spikes on it.

Shadow Moonlight: Would all of you mind cleanin up this mess for us?

They bowed respectfully before going over and cleaning up the mess using some magic of their own.

(Y/N): *sigh* You weren't kidding about having numbers on your side.

Shadow Moonlight: Nor was I when I said that I would take care of this mess.

(Y/N): Heh, that's funny. Anyways, back to Filthy Rich. We can't just let him take the camp. This place means too much to not only me, Shadow, Tim, and Glori, but to everyone else here too as well as past campers.

Sunset Shimmer: Maybe we can get them to help save it!

Applejack: Oh! Like a fundraiser?

Rarity: Or a ball?!

Rainbow Dash: Our band could play!

Fluttershy: I could help write a new song just for the occasion!

The other students nodded in agreement.

Gloriosa Daisy: Those are all good ideas, but where would we hold it?

Sunset Shimmer: We could hold it in the crystal cave!

Rarity: *gasps* A Crystal Ball! I love it!

Gloriosa Daisy: I admire everyone's enthusiasm. Really, I do. But I-I just don't know how we're going to plan a ball by tomorrow and invite everyone.

You & The Rainbooms: We got this!

Shadow Moonlight: Well, looks like it's your word against yours, Glori.

(Y/N): So girls, Shad, what do you all say we save this camp?

Shadow Moonlight: I thought you'd never ask.

The Rainbooms: Yeah!

(Play Song: Legend You Are Meant To Be)

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Sci-Twi (Singing):

I used to think that stories were just that

Set in stone, concrete as a fact

It didn't dawn on me

That I could change history

Sunset Shimmer (Singing):

Now I know I'm writing my own song

Fight my way to the ending that I want

I'll turn a tragedy

Sunset Shimmer and Sci-Twi (Singing):

Into an epic fantasy

The Rainbooms (Singing):

Hey, hey, hey

To be the legend you were meant to be

Fluttershy (Singing):

There was a time when fear would hold me down

'Cause I let it chain me to the ground

Rainbow Dash (Singing):

Look at me now, I'm soaring high

It's never boring in the sky

Applejack (Singing):

When I know I've got friends on my side

Whatever trials, I'll take them all in stride

Rarity (Singing):

Together we will shine so bright

A radiant brilliance in the night

The Rainbooms (Singing):

Hey, hey, hey

You can be a hero (hero) too

Oh-oh-oh

Take my hand, I'm here for you

Come away with me

To be the legend you were meant to be

Oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah, ah-oh, oo-wah

To be the legend you were meant to be!

(End Song)

The audience cheered from your stellar performance as they began to chant the word encore.

Rainbow Dash: They want another one!

She said happily. Sunset then turned to you.

Sunset Shimmer: Hey Y/N, why don't you sing this one?

(Y/N): *jokingly* Oh, I don't know. I don't wanna impose.

Applejack: Come on, hon. You don't get to sing by yourself often. Let's hear your voice again.

Rarity: Oh, I agree with her, love.

The others soon nodded in agreement as you smiled brightly.

(Y/N): Oh, alright. If you all insist.

You stepped up to the microphone.

(Y/N): One... two... one, two, three, four!

(Play Song: Escape From The City)

(End Song)

The crowd cheered once more as you took a moment to bow before Gloriosa came up on stage.

Gloriosa Daisy: *whisper* I didn't know you could sing, Y/N.

(Y/N): *whisper* Heh, yeah, I get that a lot.

She then grabbed the mic and addressed everyone at the ball.

Gloriosa Daisy: Thank you all so much for coming! And for helping us raise enough money to... save Camp Everfree!

She announced which made everyone cheer except for Filthy Rich who didn't look amused before adjusting his tie and walked off having failed to get Camp Everfree but as he made his way out of the cave, he was stopped by a certain voice.

???: Leaving so soon?

He turned as he saw Shadow and Dean Cinch waiting by the entrance while narrowing their eyes at him.

Shadow Moonlight: Why don't you stay awhile and tell us exactly what this was about?

Filthy Rich: I think I'd rather just go back to my mansion.

He turns to leave but then his path is blocked by shadow knights.

Shadow Moonlight: Perhaps I wasn't clear, Filthy. I wasn't looking for an answer. Now, I suggest you give us an explanation before you make it worse for yourself.

He and Dean Cinch narrow their eyes at him while he does the same before sighing.

Filthy Rich: Fine...

We cut back to you as you were conversing with Sunset before noticing that Sci-Twi was standing by herself.

(Y/N): Uh, Sunset? Do you mind if I excuse myself for just a moment?

Sunset Shimmer: Sure.

You then walked up to Sci-Twi as she noticed you coming and smiled.

(Y/N): Not to brag or anything, but I thought it was pretty cool how I saved everybody from those rubus fruticosus... blackberry brambles.

Sci-Twi: I'm familiar with the genus. It's just a little weird you say you saved the campers. I thought I saved them.

(Y/N): Yeah, but to be fair, I saved you from falling on the dock which led to you saving everyone, so, if anything, it was all me.

You both laughed before you looked back at her.

(Y/N): So, any more nightmares of you know who?

She shook her head.

Sci-Twi: Nope. I'm completely Midnight Sparkle free.

(Y/N): Well, that's awesome!

Sci-Twi: Y/N, is it okay if I tell you something?

(Y/N): Of course.

She took a deep breath and spoke her mind.

Sci-Twi: Look, I just wanted to say that... even though we've only known each other for a short while, I've really come to like you a great deal. You've helped me come a long way from when I was just the timid girl from CPA. I can't even begin to list the number of thanks I owe you. I guess... what I'm trying to say is... I'm really glad I met you.

She finished as she stepped closer to you. You smiled warmly before stepping closer to her.

(Y/N): Well... I'm glad I met you too, Sci-Twi.

You and Sci-Twi move closer and you were both about to kiss when Shadow shows up.

Shadow Moonlight: So you finally got the guts to talk to him? Never thought I'd see it happen in a month. I would've expected longer.

Sci-Twi: S-Shadow!

She stuttered as a huge blush formed on her face.

Shadow Moonlight: Priceless!

He laughs before he calms down and turns to you.

Shadow Moonlight: I'm guessing that makes her a new addition to your harem doesn't it, Y/N?

(Y/N): I-I... t-that's none of your business, Shad!

You said while also blushing as Shadow shrugs.

Shadow Moonlight: I figured it was gonna happen sooner or later. So predictable. Just make sure that you take care of her and treat her well. Also, Tim and Glori told me to tell you that some of the donors wanna meet you.

(Y/N): Can they possibly wait just a little longer?

Shadow shook his head.

Shadow Moonlight: These people are rich, dude. And when it comes to rich people, they are never patient.

(Y/N): *sigh* Fine. Just tell them I'll be with them in a moment.

Shadow Moonlight: Right, you still got to kiss her to make it official. I got ya.

He winked at you before walking away. You turned back to Sci-Twi as her face was completely red with embarrassment.

(Y/N): Seriously, there's always a moment where he'll butt in at the worst time.

Sci-Twi: That's Shadow for you. Not to mention the fact that he enjoys every second of our embarrassment.

(Y/N): Eh. I'll get him back one day when Sunny Flare or one of his other friends confess to him.

Shadow Moonlight: *distantly* Which is never gonna happen!

(Y/N): Being in denial doesn't change your fate, Shad!

You yell back at him as he rolled his eyes at that before turning your attention back to Sci-Twi.

Sci-Twi: So, you... have a harem?

Your eyes widened as your own face grew redder. You then started scratching the back of your head nervously.

(Y/N): Y-Yeah... I do. Sunset and the rest of the Rainbooms are what comprises it.

Sci-Twi: U-Um... do you think... I could join?

She asked as she cutely twirled some of her hair on her finger.

(Y/N): L-Look, Sci-Twi, it's not that I don't want you to join, it's just that I don't know how Sunset or the others would respond to that.

???: We don't mind, Y/N.

You heard a voice behind you as you turned and saw Sunset and the rest of the Rainbooms smiling at you.

(Y/N): W-What?

Rainbow Dash: Oh yeah, we never did tell you about the other half of the harem deal, didn't we?

(Y/N): Other half? What other half?

Sunset Shimmer: Well, we came to an agreement that if there was ever an instance where another girl was interested in you that they'd be able to join, but only if they loved you for you. So, Sci-Twi...

She then walked up to the spectacled girl.

Sunset Shimmer: Do you truly love Y/N like we do?

Sci-Twi glanced at you for a brief moment before a smile slowly spread across her lips as she looked back at Sunset.

Sci-Twi: I do.

Sunset smiled.

Sunset Shimmer: Well, in that case, you're more than welcome to join. You're officially one of Y/N's girlfriends now.

Sci-Twi smiled brightly at that before running over and pulling you into a deep kiss. Sadly, the kiss only lasted for about ten seconds before a certain interloper pulled on your collar and started dragging you away.

Shadow Moonlight: Alright, lover boy! You had your kiss now let's go.

(Y/N): Oh come on, Shad! Seriously?! Save me a dance, Sci-Twi!

Sci-Twi: I will!

Meanwhile, the Rainbooms couldn't help but smile at the cuteness of the scene they just watched.

Rarity: Adorable.

Sunset Shimmer: He is a pretty cool guy.

Pinkie Pie: He wouldn't be our boyfriend if he wasn't.

Rainbow Dash: You know what else is cool? Our awesome new superpowers! I handed out, like, four hundred fliers, set up the stage, and still had time to pick up pizza! I love my super-speed!

Sunset Shimmer: About that. I think the crystals are the source of the superpowers.

Fluttershy: You're not gonna ask us to give them up, are you?

Sunset Shimmer: No. In fact, I think maybe we were meant to have them all along.

Sci-Twi: Me, too.

Sunset Shimmer: There is one thing I'm still wondering about, though.

Twilight Sparkle: What's that?

Sunset Shimmer: Where did the magic that hit this cave come from?

At Canterlot High, the Wondercolt statue started to shake violently and then it exploded into pieces! Luckily no one was around so no one was hurt but there is now a crack on where the statue used to be and then wisps of magic flows from the cracks! Suddenly, a dark (F/C) rift appeared as V/N and Hollow Moonshine stepped out of it.

(V/N): Well, I sincerely hope you're happy with yourself, Hollow. The stones are lost and our enemies are now far more formidable than we imagined.

Hollow Moonshine: Oh don't worry sir. I've got what I was looking for.

He smirked as he pulled out a dark black geode that emitted a green and dark blue purple like aura.

(V/N): What's this?

Hollow Moonshine: The source of the unstable magic power that I detected. Who would've thought that it would have been one of the stones?

V/N stared for a moment before he began to smirk sadistically.

(V/N): Well, I guess this makes up for the lost stones. My apologies for my earlier behavior, Hollow.

Hollow Moonshine: No worries, sir. I understand your frustration but we've got better things to target.

V/N then realized something before he chuckled which confused Hollow.

Hollow Moonshine: Sire, may I ask what is it that you find so amusing?

(V/N): Remember how we said that by the end of Camp Everfree that we would be getting a new recruit?

Hollow Moonshine: Oh, right. I forgot. Why don't I go ahead and introduce them?

He smirked as he drew a pentagram with the corrupted geode before a pitch black pillar of light formed before them and after it disappeared, there stood...Gaea Everfree.

(V/N): Midnight Sparkle has failed us... but Gaea Everfree will take her place.

Hollow Moonshine: Will I still be able to give her the punishment you said I would do in the event that she falls?

(V/N): Of course. Make it excruciating just for me.

Hollow Moonshine: There's nothing I look forward to with the greater pleasure, Lord V/N.

Gaea Everfree: What is the meaning of this?! Why am I here and not at Camp Everfree?!

Hollow Moonshine: Hey! I'd watch my tone if I were you. We have just brought you back to life to give you another chance and this is how you treat us? Why are all of these imbeciles so incompetent?

Gaea Everfree: You brought me back? For what purpose?

(V/N): For revenge, of course.

Gaea's eyes widened before a sadistic grin came across her face.

Gaea Everfree: You have my attention...

(V/N): I've been living in the mind of that pitiful fool, Y/N for far too long and now I've finally been released from it. Now I intend to bring back every villain he and his pathetic harem ever come across in order to help me bring them to their knees for good and rule all of this world and Equestria. You'd finally reclaim the world and nature itself as it was intended instead of being built over by those filthy humans. So, can I rely on your assistance?

Gaea Everfree: ...I will do everything in my power to serve you well.

Hollow Moonshine: Well, at least this one is more cooperative than the others.

(V/N): Indeed. Also, do you remember that I was hinting towards gaining more power back when I first created you, Hollow?

Hollow Moonshine: Please forgive me sir but I don't seem to recall.

(V/N): Hmm, I believe it's best if I show you instead.

He then gestured to his disciple to follow him as he led Hollow to the top of the mirror pedestal and pointed towards the newly formed crack.

Hollow Moonshine: What's this?

(V/N): Unlimited magic at your very fingertips.

Hollow Moonshine: Hmm. It seems like I'll need something to pry it open. Luckily I have this.

He points the corrupted geode to his other hand as a black crowbar materialized in front of his palm. He holds a firm grip on the crowbar as he pries the crack open as tons of magic wisps start to fly everywhere.

Some of the wisps went into V/N as he grinned at his growing power.

(V/N): Oh yes, things are going to be much more... interesting.

The camera cuts to black as V/N's faint laugh can be heard.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

(Jordanwolfboy9743: Well... that wasn't creepy at all.)

(Shadowlight2784: *sigh* And now it's gonna take me years of therapy to recover from that.)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: Yeah, me too. Anyways, that's the end of the Legend of Everfree Arc, folks! Which means we're finally done with the movies! Stay tuned for more as next time we look at... um... what happens next, Shadow?)

(Shadowlight2784: Uh...let's see. *flipping through the script* We go through an arc where Y/N takes his girls on dates and then we go to the Magical Days arc.)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: You mean Dance Magic, Movie Magic, and Mirror Magic?)

(Shadowlight2784: Yup. Those are the ones. Two of which include Juniper Montage. Do you...have anything special planned for her or...?)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: Well, at first, I wasn't gonna include her in the harem, but opinions do change over time, so she might just be.)

(Shadowlight2784: Well, whatever you plan on doing, I'll follow your lead, bud.)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: Thank you, my good man. Anyways, we sincerely hope you guys enjoyed this arc. Despite how short it was in terms of chapters. Until then, this is Jordanwolfboy9743...)

(Shadowlight2784: ...and Shadowlight2784...)

(Jordanwolfboy9743 & Shadowlight2784: Signing out! See ya! *walks away*)

(Jordanwolfboy9743: *distantly* Oh, what the hell?! There's giant bramble everywhere!)

(Shadowlight2784: *distantly* *sigh* Calvin! You said you would clean this up!)

(*silence*)
