You've ruined everything! Now Twilight and her ridiculous friends can escape from Tartarus!
[The Mane 6 and Spike appear before her, angrily.]
I mean... Yay! All my friends are safe!
ApplejackYou can drop the act, Cozy Glow! Your pen pal Tirek told us all about how he helped you suck up all that magic!
But I still don't understand why?
[growls] Why?! Because friendship is power! You might be the Princess of Friendship, but as headmare of this school, I can collect even more friends than you!
[The students are confused.]
You're the one who doesn't get it, Cozy. Friendship is powerful, but power isn't why you make friends. I'm sorry couldn't teach you that.
You can't let one bad apple make you think you failed.
And we never could've stopped her if we hadn't learned what you taught us about friendship.
Honesty? Loyalty? Generosity? Blah-blah-blah... I can make more friends without using any of them! And if I can't do it here, I'll do it somewhere else!
FSFemale Student
Yeah, I don't think so!
[She is blocked everywhere by the students, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Chancellor Neighsay, then the royal guards who captured her.]
We always win, like the time Sombra almost took back the Crystal Empire, or when Chrysalis pretended to be Cadence, or when Tirek came back and absorbed all the magic, or the other time Chrysalis tried to take over, or with Cozy Glow and the school... (catching breath) Am I missing anything? [Gaunson flies into the battle with his jet with his Osprey]
Starlight when she was evil.
Discord when he was evil.
Applejack
Do Flim and Flam count?
[weakly] Listen to me... you don't need me. You don't need the princesses, and you certainly don't need the elements. [coughs] Fluttershy, you will always be kind. Applejack, you will always be honest. Rarity, you'll always be generous. And Rainbow Dash will be loyal as can be. Pinkie will always bring laughter wherever she goes. And Twilight, you are and always will be the embodiment of magic. You lost sight of what's in front of you. You're here, together, willing to give everything you've got for Equestria. Nothing and nopony can ever take that away from you... because that's who you are.
KSKing Sombra
[laughs] It's going to take more than a sentimental speech to save you.
Discord's right. We've proven time and time again that the real magic is the six of us working together!
KSKing Sombra
You should be.
[He fires a blast, but Twilight blocks it and the troops fire an artillery barrage.]
You may knock us down, but we're gonna get back up again! [another fire; she blocks it] And again! [and another] And again! As long as we're together, we will never stop trying to defeat you!
[Now they both blast at each other; Twilight's expands into a magic shield which bathes herself and her friends in pink light; all join hooves in turn]
ARApplejack, Rarity
For our families!
PPPinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash
For our home!
[The magic shield glows brighter and lifts them up; Twilight's eyes begin to glow white and her mane and tail sparkle and wave in the manner of Celestia and Luna's, as Sombra fails to hit them with his magic]
KSKing Sombra
NO! This can't be possible! Your magic can't defeat mine!! I DESTROYED THE SOURCE OF YOUR POWER!!!
You can't destroy our friendship, Sombra!
And we keep telling bad guys...
Applejack
But y'all just don't seem to remember.
ASAll six
FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC!!!
[Their magic expands outward]
KSKing Sombra
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! [disintegrates into nothingness]
I thought everything was fine! WHAT IS GOING ON!?!!
Applejack
Everything was going fine...
We tried to fix it ourselves.
We didn't want you to freak out.
And you thought NOT telling me everything was a total disaster would AVOID a freak-out?!!
When you say it like that, it sounds like a really bad plan.
[Twilight sucks in a deep breath as Discord watches, hoping she'll freak out and hyperventilate]
I know how I used to react... But I really have changed! [smiles] Panicking won't solve anything!
[Discord rolls his eyes annoyingly as the Princesses show up]
But we can handle whatever problems come our way, as long as we handle them together.
Spoken like a true leader.
[doors open]
Starlight is supposed to come over soon. There's a little something we wanted to give you before we leave. You know what? I think you're right, Twilight. I should take my comics to Canterlot. We can't leave the Power Ponies behind.
I don't think the Power Ponies care, Spike. Just like all of our friends.
Applejack
All right, Twilight. Are you ready? We all wanted to see you off, but there's still a lot to do.
Aren't you coming on the train?
Applejack
I gotta go with Big Mac so we can go over our packin' list or we won't know who gets what deliveries.
And I'm gonna meet the Wonderbolts so we can go over the routine one last time.
I'm going with Gummy. He said he knows when the fireworks display should start, but does anypony really believe that?!
And I still need to pick up food for the swans and doves who flew ahead to Canterlot. If I don't get them fed, they'll be too pooped to perform.
Well, I'll be living in Canterlot alone. Might as well take the train alone, too. Bye, I guess.
Oh, you won't be traveling alone, darling. I'll have just enough time on the train to weave the star spider sash for your gown. But we should leave now. There's no time to dawdle if you want the coronation to be perfect.
Twilight Sparkle That's the problem! You're all so worried about making my coronation perfect, [tearing up] but I'm leaving Ponyville and none of you even care!
RMRest of Mane Six
[gasp]
[gulps] Well, at least the coronation is over.
I was just about to say the same thing. I know maybe it wasn't the coronation you planned, but it's good to see all of you laughing.
We wanted to give this to you before you left Ponyville, but things got a little hectic.
Since you're moving away, we thought if you missed any of us or Ponyville, this might help.
Applejack
And we all chipped in some.
No matter how much things change, you'll always have this to look back on.
I love it. Thank you so much. But I don't want to only look back. Obviously the coronation wasn't perfect, but that doesn't matter. It's our relationships that really count, and we have to maintain them.
But now that we'll be living in different places, I'm not exactly sure how.
I am. I suggest we meet once a moon. In fact, my first royal decree as ruler of Equestria is to establish this Council of Friendship!
MSMane Six, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike
[cheering]
And what a wonderful decree it is!
We always knew that whatever adversity you faced, you and your friends would find your way through it together.
We know Equestria is in the perfect hooves with you and your friends looking out for it. And while we'll always be here if you need us, it's time for us to be on our way.
We hope you'll come and visit us in Silver Shoals.
But now it's time for you to rule on your own. You're all more than capable.
Thank you. For everything. Mmmm! [chuckling]

LDLuster Dawn
So, even though everything changed and you moved away from your friends, you didn't grow apart? And this is the Council of Friendship? That's what you're all doing here?
FRFuture Rainbow Dash
Duh! This time every moon.
FAFuture Applejack
[chuckles] What she means is this is how we've been rulin' together.
FRFuture Rarity
And how we've continued to face every problem and threat to Equestria over the years.
FPFuture Pinkie Pie
But mostly, it's how we keep in touch. No matter how busy life gets.
FTFuture Twilight Sparkle
Sometimes friendships can be hard, and it takes work to maintain them. But without friends, things can be a lot harder.
LDLuster Dawn
I never thought about friendship being something to work at, and I don't mind work. I guess if they don't have to fade away, maybe making friends isn't the waste of time I thought. But I've been so focused on my studies, I wouldn't know where to start.
FTFuture Twilight Sparkle
That's all right, because I know exactly where to send you.
