I don't want anything to do with creatures that could threaten Equestria!
Wisely put, colt.

S1 E15Unfinished Business
Will you help me?
Do mulberries have seeds?
[beat]
That's a yes.
What a pity. Well, for you. Sweet revenge for me. It seems my little protege's plan worked after all.
MSMane Six
[gasp]
Which little protégé?
Oh, we’ve never met. We’re pen pals. Each letter had so many questions about draining magic.
And you answered them?!
Well, I was bored. So I simply pointed, uh, my pen pal in the right direction.
Can't you just tell us your pen pal's name? I mean, since we’re stuck here anyway?
Oh, why not? The irony is too perfect. Her name is...
[Cut to Sandbar]
...COZY GLOW! ...I-I-I coulda sworn I saw her come down this way when she left her office.
Enjoying yourself in there, Starlight? I'm sorry I had to push you in, but what else could I do? You were going to ruin all my plans.
[Sandbar and CMC gasp]
You might get some company soon, if I can’t make that annoying Neighsay back off! [inhales] All this magic needs time to drain from Equestria before my vortex sucks it to another realm! [giggles] Three days can sure seem like forever, huh? You know, you ponies got it all wrong. Friendship isn't magic. Friendship is power. With Twilight and her lackeys out of my way, all of Equestria will bow to me! The future Empress of Friendship! [laughs evilly]
Cozy Glow is behind all of this?!
[laughs] I'm not usually a fan of ponies, but draining your precious world of magic so she could trap the six of you was inspiring! [laughs, coughs]
Um, there's seven of us.
If Sandbar's turned his back on us, every other pony probably has, too.
Sandbar not turn his back! Sandbar is our friend!
Uh, did you miss the part where he said he didn't want anything to do with us?
Maybe he just said that so one of us could be free to snoop around and figure out what's going on.
[lock unlatches]
I don't know. That sounds too clever for a pony to come up with.
The reign of Princess Twilight is over!
Are we going to give the pony who already tried to wreck Twilight's school once another chance to do it?
Friendship is Magic, and Knowledge is Power. And no pony—not even Starswirl—is more knowledgeable or has more friends than Twilight Sparkle, the greatest spellcaster to have ever lived! Gee whiz... I wonder why?! If there's one thing I've learned here, it's that friendship is the most powerful thing there is on this world. And as headmare of the School of Friendship, no pony will have more friends than me! Making me the most powerful pony in Equestria!
Oh, wonderful. I suppose you've all come to gloat?
Actually, we've come to undo all these chains and free you!
But... But why?
Now that nasty pony met even nastier pony, maybe nasty pony not be so nasty.
Have you even thought about what losing magic would mean?
It means the six of you will be trapped here! Like me!
Seven!
[to Tirek] Exactly. It means you're trapped here. Forever. With us.
[beat]
Uhhhh... I hadn't thought of it like that.
[Pinkie being "Pinkie": i.e. doing her best to "cheer up" Tirek]
I can do this all eternity.
Fine! I'll help you leave! Just please stop!
Tirek is in!
[to Cutie Mark Crusaders] Do you three think you can fool me?! I know a diversion when I see it!
This is just like chapter twelve in "Ked Facca's Facts and Artifacts" from Twilight's class!
[beat]
What? I've been studying. Finals are coming up, you know?
Without magic, there's no way we'll get back to the school in time!
What does that mean?
It means... we've failed!
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!
You 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.
Well, you taught us.
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.]
