Oh, thank goodness!
I hope you know we wouldn't normally go through your books without your permission.
Sweet ground. Sweet, sweet, wonderful ground!
Ok, I get it, I need to work on my flying!
I don't know if you've noticed,
but the Everfree Forest is just a teeny-tiny bit out of control.
Guess it turned out you were missing something in Ponyville after all.
But perhaps you already know what's causing all of this calamity.
Has Princess Celestia sent you to dispell it post-haste?
Not exactly.
You see, Princess Celestia is…
Well, she and Princess Luna are both…
They're missing!
I don't know who has taken them,
but I've got a hunch we're going to need the Elements of Harmony to get them back.
Oh yeah. Just like old times.
I told you we'd always be connected by the Elements.
Now we just got to figure out who to aim these bad boys at
so we can get Celestia and Luna back and keep the rest of Equestria from becoming plant food.
Any ideas?
I haven't found squat in any of the books I've been looking through.
Oopsies, missed a spot!
Half-day, half night.
Strange weather patterns. Out-of-control plants.
I think I'm starting to get a pretty good idea of who we're up against.
Winter wrap up, winter wrap up…
Now, Twilight, you know Princess Celestia said that you were to give me a heads-up
before you summon me with that little spell she gave you.
In case you haven't noticed, I was in the middle of a particularly invigorating shower.
Enough!
Release Princess Celestia and Princess Luna!
And stop the Everfree Forest from invading!
Whay, whatever are you talking about?
Dont's you dare play dumb with us, Discord!
We know you are the one behind all of this!
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love what you've done with the place.
But I couldn't possibly take responsibility.
I'm reformed, don't you remember?
Yeah, right! This has got your cloven hoofprints all over it.
Oh, have you know that I only have one cloven hoof.
Such accusations!
And here I thought we were friends.
Cut the act, buster! We're onto you!
Ladies, ladies! I'm innocent! Would I lie to you?
Yes!
Maybe?
Well then, it seems we've reached an impasse.
I'm telling the truth, but you think I'm lying.
What do friends like us do in situations like this, Princess Twilight?
Congrats, by the way, on the promotion, you totally deserve it!
I say, we blast him back to stone!
Works for me.
Hear, hear!
We can't do that. What if he really is telling the truth?
Well, finally, some pony to give me the benefit of the doubt.
The rest of you could learn a lot about friendship from my dear friend Shutterfly here.
Um, it's Fluttershy.
Oh, right, whatever.
If you're not responsible, then help us figure out who is!
I suppose I could, but after all the hoof-pointing,
and besmearching my good name I just don't know if I'm up to it!
Why don't you ask your zebra friend if she knows anything?
Zecora!
From my home I had to flee.
The forest has grown too wild even for me!
Any idea why all this is happening?
I'm afraid it is a mystery as well,
but I may have something that if combined with a spell…
I do not dare to use it myself.
The result would be tragic. It only responds to alicorn magic.
Princess Twilight, you can turn the potion from purple to white.
After a sip you may see why the sky is day and night.
Doesn't seem to be worki~
Where am I?
Not... another step!
Princess Luna!
I don't understand. Where are we? Why did you and Celestia disappear?
Did you really expect me to sit idly by while they all basked in your precious light?
Precious light?
There can only be one princess in Equestria!
And that princess... WILL BE ME!
Продолжение следует...
Luna! Think of how long you were banished to the moon.
You give us no choice but to send you back there if you don't stop.
Luna! I will not fight you!
You must lower the moon! It is your duty!
Luna...
I am Nightmare Moon.
I have but one royal duty now.
TO DESTROY YOU!
And where do you think you're going?
Celestia!!!
