Shining Armor, Fluttershy and others in “Unfinished Business”

Shining Armor

Twily! You made it. We better get moving. There are things out here we really don't want to run into after dark.

Fluttershy

[gulps] What kind of things?

Shining Armor

Let's just say the empire... isn't the only thing that's returned.

Shining Armor

Something keeps trying to get in! We think it's the unicorn king who originally cursed the place.

Twilight Sparkle

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]

Fluttershy

[gasps] Th-That's one of the things, isn't it?

Shining Armor

Guh. We have to get to the Crystal Empire. Now.
