Shining Armor's in real trouble! You have to help-
[The rest of the ponies continue chattering. Twilight notices their outfits]
Dresses? What are you..?!
Can you believe it? We're gonna be Princess Mi Amore Cadenza's new bridesmaids!
"New" bridesmaids? What happened to her old bridesmaids?
She didn't say. But she did tell us that she would love, love, love it if we'd fill in for them.
And I'm sure it's the result of being an awful pony who doesn't deserve to even know Shining Armor let alone marry him!
Think maybe you're being just a tiny bit possessive of your brother?
Uh-huh.
I am not being possessive, and I am NOT taking it out on Cadance! You're all just too caught up in your wedding planning to notice that maybe there shouldn't even [pounds hoof on table] be a wedding!
[about the bridesmaids' dresses] And those should be a different color.
I think they're lovely.
Me too!
I love them.
[angrily] Make them a different color.
You want to know why my eyes went all- [rolls eyes, followed by a grunt of pain] Because ever since I started having to perform my protection spell, I've been getting terrible migraines. Cadance hasn't been casting spells on me. She's been using her magic to heal me!
[inhales]
And she decided to replace her bridesmaids because she found out the only reason they wanted to be in the wedding was so that they could meet Canterlot royalty! And if she hasn't been on her best behavior with your [stomps hoof] friends, it's because with me being so busy, she's had to make all the decisions about the wedding!
I was just trying to–
She's been completely stressed out because it's really important to her that her big day be perfect! Something that obviously wasn't important to you. [Twilight gasps] Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go and comfort my bride. And you can forget about being my best mare. In fact, if I were you, I wouldn't show up to the wedding at all.
C'mon, y'all. Let's go check on the princess.
[The rest of Twilight's friends; including Spike, leave her]
I was-
[coldly yet sternly] You have a lot to think about.
[The wedding hall doors slam, leaving Twilight alone]
[left alone after she drove off Cadance, Shining Armor, her friends and Princess Celestia by claiming Cadance was evil] Maybe I was too overprotective [of Shining Armor]. I could have gained a sister; but instead, I just lost a brother. [after singing a reprise of "BBBFF", "Cadance" comes back, and strokes Twilight's hair] I'm sorry.
[eyes flash green] You WILL be! [sends Twilight sinking down into the mines of the castle, while smirking evily and walks off]
[Twilight blasts open a cave containing the real Cadence]
No! Wait! Ugh! Please! Don't hurt me! Twilight, it's me! Please, you have to believe me. I've been imprisoned like you. The Cadance who brought you down here was an impostor.
Likely story!
Sunshine, sunshine, ladybugs awake. Clap your hooves...
...and do a little shake.
You remember me!
Of course I do. How could I forget the filly I loved to sit for the most?
I-I don't understand. How can there be two of 'em?
She's a changeling! She takes the form of somepony you love and gains power by feeding off your love for them!
["Cadance" disposes her disguise and transforms into Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings.]
[laughing] Right you are, Princess. And as queen of the changelings, it is up to me to find food for my subjects. Equestria has more love than any place I've ever encountered. My fellow changelings will be able to devour so much of it that we will gain more power than we have ever dreamed of!
They'll never get the chance! Shining Armor's protection spell will keep them from ever even reaching us!
[chuckling] Oh, I doubt that. Isn't that right, dear?
Mm-hmm.
Ah, ah, ah. Don't want to go back to the caves now, do you? Ever since I took your place, I've been feeding off Shining Armor's love for you. Every moment he grows weaker and so does his spell. Even now, my minions are chipping away at it.
[laughing]
[laughing] He may not be my husband, but he is under my total control now.
[both gasps]
And, I'm sorry to say, unable to perform his duties as captain of the Royal Guard.
Not my Shining Armor!
Soon, my changeling army will break through. First, we take Canterlot. And then, all of Equestria!
No. You won't. You may have made it impossible for Shining Armor to perform his spell, but now that you have so foolishly revealed your true self, I can protect my subjects from you!
[grunting]
[Princess Celestia and Queen Chrysalis engage in a beam battle. Queen Chrysalis ends up winning and Princess Celestia lands on the floor, her horn burnt and her crown loose. The wedding audience gasps in horror.]
Princess Celestia!
[Twilight runs to her. Her friends follow her.]
Ah! Shining Armor's love for you is even stronger than I thought! Consuming it has made me even more powerful than Celestia!
The Elements of Harmony. You must get to them, and use their power to defeat the queen.
Rarity!
[laughing] You can run, but you can't hide!
[A Changeling, about to attack Pinkie, transforms into Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy]
[laughing] Do me, do me!
[The changeling rolls its eyes, then turns into Pinkie]
Meh, I've seen better. [grabs Twilight and uses her as a Gatling Gun]
You won't get away with this! Twilight and her friends will--
[At that moment, the doors to the wedding hall open, revealing that the changelings captured The Mane Six; two of them holding Rainbow Dash by the front hooves, the others are walking.]
You were saying? You do realized the reception's been cancelled, don't you? Go! Feed!
[laughing] It's funny, really. Twilight here was suspicious of my behavior all along. [Twilight slaps her hoof from her chin] Too bad the rest of you were too caught up in your wedding planning to realize those suspicions were correct! [laughing]
Sorry, Twi. We should've listened to you.
It's not your fault. She fooled everypony.
Hmm, I did, didn't I?
[She goes over to a window]
This day has been just perfect
The kind of day which I dreamed since I was small
Everpony I'll soon control
Every stallion, mare, and foal
Who says a girl can't really have it all? [evil laugh]
Quick! Go to him while you still have the chance!
[magic electric sounds]
Wha-where... Huh? Is-is the wedding over?
It's all over!
Your spell! Perform your spell!
[evil laughing] What good would that do? My changelings already roam free.
No! [magic zaps] My power is useless now. I don't have the strength to repel them.
My love will give you strength.
[chuckling] What a lovely but absolutely ridiculous sentiment.
[magic twinkling and surging]
Nooooo!
[screaming]
[After the Changelings have been driven out of Canterlot, decoy Celestia fall out of the cacoon as Twilight rushes over to help her but relized it was a decoy .]
Don't worry about me. I'm fine. You have a real wedding to put together.
[Twilight smiles warmly.]
Part 1
You want me to help protect an entire empire?
It is, as I said, a different kind of test. But one I'm certain you will pass.
How do I begin?
By joining Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in the Crystal Empire.
My brother is there?
He is. Your Ponyville friends will join you as well. I have every confidence you will succeed. And when you do, I'll know you are ready to move on to the next level of your studies.
But what if I fail?
You won't.
But, what if...?!
You won't.
(Beat)
But Twilight... In the end, it must be you, and you alone, who ultimately assists Princess Cadence and Shining Armor in doing what needs to be done to protect the Empire. Do you understand?
Mmm-hmm.
Then go. There is no time to lose.
Twily! You made it. We better get moving. There are things out here we really don't want to run into after dark.
[gulps] What kind of things?
Let's just say the empire... isn't the only thing that's returned.
Something keeps trying to get in! We think it's the unicorn king who originally cursed the place.
But Princess Celestia said I was being sent here to find a way to protect the empire! If King Sombra can't get in, then it must already be protected. [roar]
[gasps] Th-That's one of the things, isn't it?
Guh. We have to get to the Crystal Empire. Now.
Sorry, Twilight. These crystal ponies seem to have some kind of collective amnesia or something. Only thing I was able to get out of them was something about a library.
[excitedly] A library? Well why didn't you say so?
Uh, thought I just did...
[Twilight Sparkle opens a door at the bottom of the staircase with dark magic, revealing a negative vision of the future]
What are you doing here?
I don't know! I opened the door and-
And now you must go.
Go where?
Doesn't matter to me. You failed the test, Twilight!
[Twilight is horrified, commercial break]
I don't understand! The test-
Not only will you not move on to the next level of your studies, you won't continue your studies at all!
I... you didn't say anything about no longer being your student if I failed!
Didn't I? [walks away]
But... what do I do now?!
[She looks up and sees a stained glass window of Sombra's victory; she drops in sadness and cries.]
[voiceover] Twilight! Twilight?!
[In reality, Twilight is staring at the door hypnotized by Sombra's dark magic.]
Spike TWILIGHT! TWILIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!
[Twilight hears him and comes to her senses; he comes downstairs.]
[rapid fire] I know you told me to stay up there, but you were down here for such a long time and you weren't answering and I got worried, so I came down here, and you were just staring at that wall and... I was calling your name, but I couldn't seem to get your attention, and... What were you looking at? I mean, it's just a wall.
[The door's magic affects Spike]
Ponyville? Well, how did I get... No! I-I don't want to go! Please, Twilight! Don't make me!
[Twilight closes the door, snapping Spike out of it.]
King Sombra's dark magic. A doorway that leads to your worst fear.
We were home... you told me you didn't need me anymore. You were sending me away.
A fear that will never come to pass. I'm never gonna send you away. And I'm not gonna fail my test!
[She uses her own magic on the door, allowing them access through.]
Who wants a flugelhorn?
I want a flugelhorn!
[frustrated] Who else wants a flugelhorn?
[screaming] I want a flugelhorn!!
