Everypony, please stay calm!

00:00:35,583 --> 00:00:38,167
Do not panic. Everything is under--
10
00:00:38,250 --> 00:00:41,500
Zoom! I forgot my shield!
Do you have one?!

00:00:41,583 --> 00:00:43,583
Hey, something feels funny…

Ah, are you okay? What was that?

Oh! Ah!

it's being stolen!

It's me, Spike!

Our friends just rode into
town on flying dragons?!
67

And Pipp's hair is still fabulous!
68
00:03:31,583 --> 00:03:32,958
[Jazz] Where have you ponies been?!
69
00:03:33,042 --> 00:03:34,667
Who would do something like this?
70
00:03:34,750 --> 00:03:36,458
Her name is Opaline. And she's--
71
00:03:36,542 --> 00:03:38,958
Oh, Opaline!
72
00:03:39,042 --> 00:03:40,458
Oh, yeah, yeah, of course, of course!
73
00:03:40,542 --> 00:03:42,458
You know, I was really racking
my mind, like,
74
00:03:42,542 --> 00:03:44,500
who really would do something like this?
75
00:03:44,583 --> 00:03:46,667
Okay yeah. No, that
makes sense, continue.
76
00:03:46,750 --> 00:03:49,167
Izzy, who else did you
think would do this?
77
00:03:49,250 --> 00:03:51,167
Honestly, uh…
78
00:03:51,250 --> 00:03:54,542
I've always been a little suspicious
of Hitch's crab friend, McSnipsalot.
79
00:03:54,625 --> 00:03:56,292
[Izzy] He's just so pinchy!
80
00:03:57,292 --> 00:03:58,417
Hey!
81
00:03:58,500 --> 00:04:00,750
Rocky, Jazz, show us what happened.
82
00:04:00,833 --> 00:04:02,792
[mysterious music]
83
00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:04,833
There! They disappeared through there.
84
00:04:04,917 --> 00:04:07,417
But how is Opaline doing this?!
85
00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:10,167
She had these magical vines
that followed her through town
86
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,208
and they stole the Cutie Marks.
87
00:04:12,292 --> 00:04:13,917
-[Sunny gasps]
-And where is she now?
88
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,458
[Zipp] The trees.
89
00:04:15,542 --> 00:04:18,083
She must be using the trees like portals!
90
00:04:18,167 --> 00:04:20,333
Just like we did when we went
to the Isle of Scaly.
91
00:04:20,417 --> 00:04:24,750
But to open a portal,
you'd need a key, right?
92
00:04:24,833 --> 00:04:28,792
Without one, Opaline would need
so much more than pony magic.
93
00:04:28,875 --> 00:04:31,042
[Misty] But she has fire Alicorn magic!
94
00:04:31,125 --> 00:04:33,000
And she has the Dragonstone…
95
00:04:33,083 --> 00:04:34,750
And the actual dragons!
96
00:04:34,833 --> 00:04:38,083
And, she has all of our Cutie Marks!
97
00:04:38,167 --> 00:04:41,542
So she found a way into Maretime Bay
through the tree…
98
00:04:41,625 --> 00:04:45,542
[gasps] If she broke through
Twilight's protection spell that means…
99
00:04:45,625 --> 00:04:49,083
she could be back to finish the job
at any moment!
100
00:04:49,167 --> 00:04:51,708
Everypony and everything
could be in real danger!
101
00:04:51,792 --> 00:04:54,250
You're right… Even the Unity Crystals!
102
00:04:54,333 --> 00:04:55,833
[gasping]
103
00:04:56,500 --> 00:04:57,333
[pop]
104
00:04:57,875 --> 00:04:59,833
I'm just gonna say it.
105
00:04:59,917 --> 00:05:02,833
We're doomed!
106
00:05:02,917 --> 00:05:06,333
[townsponies screaming]
107
00:05:06,417 --> 00:05:08,250
Wait, everypony! Come back!
108
00:05:08,333 --> 00:05:10,750
We need all hooves on deck
here protecting this tree!
109
00:05:10,833 --> 00:05:13,708
But without our Cutie Marks,
we're not ourselves!
110
00:05:13,792 --> 00:05:16,875
We can't protect anything! Ugh!
111
00:05:16,958 --> 00:05:19,333
[Misty] Yes… you can.
112
00:05:21,958 --> 00:05:23,792
[Misty] I know it doesn't
feel like it right now.
113
00:05:23,875 --> 00:05:26,875
But you all have something to offer!
114
00:05:26,958 --> 00:05:31,208
You're all smart and brave and kind.
115
00:05:31,292 --> 00:05:32,333
I've seen you.
116
00:05:32,417 --> 00:05:36,125
[Misty] Any of you would do anything
to help your fellow pony.
117
00:05:36,208 --> 00:05:37,792
Even you, Sprout!
118
00:05:37,875 --> 00:05:39,750
Really? Aww!
119
00:05:39,833 --> 00:05:43,875
Look, I know Opaline. She's awful.
120
00:05:43,958 --> 00:05:46,708
She kept me locked in her lair for moons.
121
00:05:46,792 --> 00:05:49,208
But I survived all of it…
122
00:05:49,292 --> 00:05:51,292
Even without a Cutie Mark!
123
00:05:51,375 --> 00:05:54,542
[Misty] Yes, your Cutie Marks are special.
124
00:05:54,625 --> 00:05:57,333
But they're not the only thing
that makes you special.
125
00:05:57,417 --> 00:06:01,583
And nopony can take away
what makes you special on the inside.
126
00:06:01,667 --> 00:06:04,250
Yeah! You're powerful ponies!
127
00:06:04,333 --> 00:06:08,000
Any one of you could kick a door
off its hinges in two and a half tries!
128
00:06:08,083 --> 00:06:10,708
That is… oddly specific.
129
00:06:10,792 --> 00:06:12,292
Thank you very much!
130
00:06:12,375 --> 00:06:13,667
We'll do our part.
131
00:06:13,750 --> 00:06:15,542
But how are you gonna stop Opaline?
132
00:06:15,625 --> 00:06:16,667
Do you have a plan?
133
00:06:16,750 --> 00:06:19,875
A plan? Ah… Of course! Absolutely!
134
00:06:20,667 --> 00:06:21,917
Okay! Who has a plan?
135
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:23,458
Oh, Oh! Me! I do!
136
00:06:23,542 --> 00:06:25,458
Here's what we're gonna need:
137
00:06:25,542 --> 00:06:27,125
Two bathtubs full of glimmerberry jam,
138
00:06:27,208 --> 00:06:29,583
a stick of bubble gum,
and exactly 16 cases
139
00:06:29,667 --> 00:06:31,292
of assorted craft supplies.
140
00:06:31,375 --> 00:06:32,750
This ain't gonna be easy,
141
00:06:32,833 --> 00:06:35,875
but if we time it just right,
142
00:06:35,958 --> 00:06:38,792
-then we're gonna--
-That is… an option!
143
00:06:38,875 --> 00:06:41,042
[nervous laughter]
Any other ideas?
144
00:06:41,125 --> 00:06:44,167
We need to figure out how Opaline
is stealing the Cutie Marks.
145
00:06:44,250 --> 00:06:47,333
And we need to do it before
she comes back here and finishes the job!
146
00:06:47,417 --> 00:06:48,792
[whimpering]
147
00:06:48,875 --> 00:06:51,208
What if Zephyr Heights and Bridlewood
are in danger, too?!
148
00:06:51,292 --> 00:06:52,417
This is too much!
149
00:06:52,500 --> 00:06:54,625
How are we supposed to do this on our own?
150
00:06:54,708 --> 00:06:56,292
[Sunny] We're not on our own…
151
00:06:56,375 --> 00:06:59,667
Opaline's not the only pony
with dragons on her side!
152
00:07:00,792 --> 00:07:03,833
[Toots] So uh… What'd you come up with?
153
00:07:04,458 --> 00:07:05,583
[pop]
154
00:07:05,667 --> 00:07:08,875
[groans]
155
00:07:09,958 --> 00:07:11,625
Spike! What happened?!
156
00:07:11,708 --> 00:07:13,208
He just collapsed!
157
00:07:13,292 --> 00:07:16,042
[groans]
I'm not feeling so great either…
158
00:07:16,125 --> 00:07:18,875
This must be some kind of pony spell!
159
00:07:18,958 --> 00:07:20,833
Is this… a-a trap?
160
00:07:20,917 --> 00:07:24,542
No, it's the Dragonstone! It has to be.
161
00:07:24,625 --> 00:07:29,250
If Opaline has dragons under her control,
she's using the stone to do it.
162
00:07:29,333 --> 00:07:32,458
If she uses up all
of the Dragonstone's magic, that could--
163
00:07:32,542 --> 00:07:36,333
[Spike] That could put dragons back
to sleep for another thousand moons.
164
00:07:36,417 --> 00:07:38,417
We can't let that happen.
165
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:42,875
Dragons! Come with me.
That stone doesn't belong to this Opaline.
166
00:07:42,958 --> 00:07:45,458
And if we're gonna have any chance
at stopping her, we're gonna need
167
00:07:45,542 --> 00:07:48,208
all the dragon power we have left.
168
00:07:48,292 --> 00:07:50,167
[Luxxe] Spike… what about the one…
169
00:07:50,250 --> 00:07:51,833
The hatchling?
170
00:07:53,750 --> 00:07:56,750
What? No. You can't… He's just a baby.
171
00:07:57,917 --> 00:08:00,125
He is stronger than you know.
172
00:08:00,208 --> 00:08:01,583
Hitch, he's right.
173
00:08:01,667 --> 00:08:05,083
Sparky's the one who filled up
the Dragonstone in the first place.
174
00:08:05,167 --> 00:08:08,375
He's why Opaline's Fire Alicorn
magic is so powerful.
175
00:08:08,458 --> 00:08:09,417
[burbling]
176
00:08:09,500 --> 00:08:12,042
And if she got her magic through Sparky…
177
00:08:12,125 --> 00:08:15,250
Maybe he's the one
who can take it all back.
178
00:08:15,333 --> 00:08:19,458
He is strong. But he's still my…
my little…
179
00:08:19,542 --> 00:08:22,042
Believe me, he always will be.
180
00:08:22,125 --> 00:08:23,125
But trust us.
181
00:08:25,292 --> 00:08:27,792
[excited burbling]
182
00:08:29,208 --> 00:08:30,750
You got this, bud.
183
00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:33,500
[excited burbling]
184
00:08:36,792 --> 00:08:38,167
[cooing]
185
00:08:39,542 --> 00:08:42,083
[cooing]
186
00:08:46,458 --> 00:08:48,583
Spike! Be careful.
187
00:08:48,667 --> 00:08:50,875
Don't worry about me, Princess Sunny!
188
00:08:50,958 --> 00:08:52,458
This isn't my first rodeo.
189
00:08:53,292 --> 00:08:55,208
[majestic music]
190
00:08:55,292 --> 00:08:57,125
[Spike] Protect your ponies!
191
00:08:57,208 --> 00:09:00,000
I'm not… I'm not a princess!
192
00:09:00,083 --> 00:09:00,917
[Spike laughing]
193
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:02,792
[Spike] If you say so!
194
00:09:02,875 --> 00:09:05,667
[Hitch exhales]
I'm gonna gather everypony by the tree!
195
00:09:05,750 --> 00:09:08,333
We'll meet you back there
as soon as we check on the crystals.
196
00:09:08,417 --> 00:09:09,708
And Hitch!
197
00:09:09,792 --> 00:09:11,750
Promise me you'll be careful, too?
198
00:09:12,333 --> 00:09:13,583
Hoof to heart.
199
00:09:14,333 --> 00:09:15,458
[shouting]
200
00:09:15,542 --> 00:09:17,042
[whimpering]
201
00:09:18,167 --> 00:09:19,583
Everypony, listen up!
202
00:09:19,667 --> 00:09:20,792
[gasping]
203
00:09:20,875 --> 00:09:22,833
I know you're scared.
204
00:09:22,917 --> 00:09:24,625
But we're stronger together,
205
00:09:24,708 --> 00:09:26,833
we're safer if we're together!
206
00:09:26,917 --> 00:09:28,958
Everypony to the Together Tree!…
207
00:09:29,792 --> 00:09:31,250
[gulping]
208
00:09:31,333 --> 00:09:33,667
[tense music]
209
00:09:38,167 --> 00:09:39,375
Phew!
210
00:09:39,458 --> 00:09:41,958
She must not be able to enter
the Brighthouse still.
211
00:09:42,042 --> 00:09:43,292
She never could do that…
212
00:09:43,375 --> 00:09:45,917
Good. That means the protection spell
is still intact!
213
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,375
At least here…
214
00:09:47,458 --> 00:09:49,125
-Wait
-Wait for what?!
215
00:09:49,208 --> 00:09:50,625
Where are we going?!
216
00:09:50,708 --> 00:09:52,208
[Pipp] Zipp. Zipp…
217
00:09:52,292 --> 00:09:53,500
[Pipp] Equestria to Zipp!
218
00:09:53,583 --> 00:09:54,500
[Pipp chuckles]
219
00:09:54,583 --> 00:09:56,792
[Pipp] Zipp. Zipp. Zipp-uh!
220
00:09:56,875 --> 00:09:58,833
What are you doing?! Studying?!
221
00:09:58,917 --> 00:10:01,167
[Zipp] Showing you this! Ha!
222
00:10:01,250 --> 00:10:04,583
[Zipp] Ever since Elder Flower
told us about the connected roots,
223
00:10:04,667 --> 00:10:07,750
I haven't been able to stop
thinking about… this picture!
224
00:10:08,458 --> 00:10:10,833
[Zipp] It's from the library back home in
Zephyr Heights.
225
00:10:10,917 --> 00:10:12,000
[Zipp laughing]
226
00:10:12,417 --> 00:10:13,250
So…
[exhaling]
227
00:10:13,333 --> 00:10:14,500
What am I looking at?
228
00:10:14,583 --> 00:10:15,958
[Zipp] Underneath the tree.
229
00:10:16,042 --> 00:10:19,417
Roots that look like they power
the ponies' Cutie Marks, right?
230
00:10:19,500 --> 00:10:21,250
Oh, I think I see where you're going.
231
00:10:21,333 --> 00:10:22,917
Three trees…
232
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,125
[Zipp] The Maretime Bay Together Tree.
233
00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:27,500
Misty's Together Tree in Zephyr Heights.
234
00:10:27,583 --> 00:10:30,375
And the Wishing Together Tree
in Bridlewood.
235
00:10:30,458 --> 00:10:32,083
Three trees.
236
00:10:32,167 --> 00:10:35,500
Somehow she tapped into the connection
between the three,
237
00:10:35,583 --> 00:10:37,667
but I just can't figure out how--
238
00:10:37,750 --> 00:10:39,167
[Misty] It's not three trees.
239
00:10:40,250 --> 00:10:41,208
It's four.
240
00:10:41,292 --> 00:10:42,375
[all] What?!
241
00:10:42,458 --> 00:10:43,875
[Misty] There's a fourth tree.
242
00:10:43,958 --> 00:10:46,958
Opaline has her own magic tree
in her throne room.
243
00:10:47,042 --> 00:10:49,708
But it's not beautiful like
the Together Trees.
244
00:10:49,792 --> 00:10:51,750
It's dark and twisty.
245
00:10:51,833 --> 00:10:53,750
It's supposed to feed on unity magic
246
00:10:53,833 --> 00:10:58,000
but it never worked because Opaline
never found unity with anypony…
247
00:10:58,083 --> 00:10:59,333
[thunder booming]
248
00:10:59,417 --> 00:11:01,375
[ominous music]
249
00:11:01,458 --> 00:11:02,917
She's never had a friend like--
250
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:04,125
Elder Flower!
251
00:11:04,208 --> 00:11:08,625
[gasps]
She's not friends with Elder Flower?!
252
00:11:08,708 --> 00:11:12,375
Uh, no! Elder Flower said
they're all connected.
253
00:11:12,458 --> 00:11:16,208
If our Cutie Mark Magic is flowing
through the roots of the trees…
254
00:11:16,292 --> 00:11:20,583
Then Opaline must be able
to reach them through her own tree!
255
00:11:20,667 --> 00:11:24,333
So, she can travel through the trees
and she's using the trees
256
00:11:24,417 --> 00:11:26,000
to steal the Cutie Marks?!
257
00:11:26,083 --> 00:11:28,208
Whoa. This is a lot!
258
00:11:28,292 --> 00:11:32,208
Um… Hey, where did Hitch say
he was gathering all the ponies, again?
259
00:11:34,208 --> 00:11:37,375
[Hitch] See? It's cool.
We're safe here together.
260
00:11:37,458 --> 00:11:39,250
Everything is--
[gasping]
261
00:11:39,333 --> 00:11:40,708
[whooshing]
262
00:11:40,792 --> 00:11:43,333
[Sprout] Not good! Everything is not good!
263
00:11:43,417 --> 00:11:45,875
Ah! My essence!
264
00:11:45,958 --> 00:11:47,125
[screaming]
265
00:11:47,208 --> 00:11:48,542
It's not safe!
266
00:11:48,625 --> 00:11:50,333
-Get away!
-We were wrong!
267
00:11:50,417 --> 00:11:53,083
Oh, this is not good.
268
00:11:53,167 --> 00:11:54,625
Okay, opposite plan!
269
00:11:54,708 --> 00:11:56,167
Everypony split up!
270
00:11:56,250 --> 00:11:58,292
Get away from the tree!
271
00:11:58,375 --> 00:11:59,708
But, but you said to go--
272
00:11:59,792 --> 00:12:04,083
[Sprout] My Cutie Mark! Mommy!
I want it back!
273
00:12:05,208 --> 00:12:08,292
If the tree here in Maretime Bay
is doing all this,
274
00:12:08,375 --> 00:12:10,833
then what about the one
in Zephyr Heights?
275
00:12:10,917 --> 00:12:12,792
[phone buzzing]
276
00:12:12,875 --> 00:12:14,958
[Pipp singing on ringtone]
277
00:12:15,042 --> 00:12:17,458
[Queen Haven's voicemail] You've reached
Her Royal Majesty, Queen Haven
278
00:12:17,542 --> 00:12:19,125
of Zephyr Heights' voicemail.
279
00:12:19,208 --> 00:12:22,250
Please leave your message
after Cloudpuff's bark! Haha!
280
00:12:22,333 --> 00:12:23,958
-[Cloudpuff barking]
-[phone beeping]
281
00:12:24,042 --> 00:12:26,167
-No answer!
-Did you leave a message?
282
00:12:26,250 --> 00:12:28,042
She doesn't know how
to check her messages!
283
00:12:28,125 --> 00:12:30,500
-We have--
-We have to warn Zephyr Heights!
284
00:12:30,583 --> 00:12:31,625
We're on it.
285
00:12:31,708 --> 00:12:33,417
-[melodic horn honking]
-Izzy?!
286
00:12:33,500 --> 00:12:35,542
Okay, I've got Bridlewood!
287
00:12:35,625 --> 00:12:38,083
Hitch, you're in charge of here!
288
00:12:38,167 --> 00:12:41,292
You listen to me. Can you handle this
as a solo Hitch mission?
289
00:12:41,375 --> 00:12:44,542
Dah, I don't know! Uh, I mean, uh--
290
00:12:44,625 --> 00:12:46,250
Where are Sunny and Misty?
291
00:12:46,333 --> 00:12:48,375
They're at the Brighthouse
on the lookout!
292
00:12:48,458 --> 00:12:50,125
At least we know the crystals are safe.
293
00:12:50,833 --> 00:12:52,125
[glitching]
294
00:12:52,208 --> 00:12:54,333
[Sunny] Oh no! Not again! Not now!
295
00:12:54,417 --> 00:12:57,167
[Misty] It, it doesn't make any sense!
296
00:12:57,250 --> 00:13:00,583
The ponies are frightened,
but they're still working together!
297
00:13:00,667 --> 00:13:02,167
It's Opaline! It has to be!
298
00:13:02,250 --> 00:13:04,542
[gasping]
She's figured out a way inside.
299
00:13:04,625 --> 00:13:06,708
That's not possible!
She's not strong enough
300
00:13:06,792 --> 00:13:08,833
to break through the protection spell yet!
301
00:13:09,375 --> 00:13:10,750
What do you mean, yet?
302
00:13:10,833 --> 00:13:13,250
If Opaline gets enough Cutie Mark Magic,
303
00:13:13,333 --> 00:13:17,708
she'll have enough power to break
any spell and take all the magic!
304
00:13:18,333 --> 00:13:20,250
Ugh! That can't happen!
305
00:13:20,333 --> 00:13:24,083
We can't let Equestria lose their
Cutie Marks and their pony magic, too!
306
00:13:25,042 --> 00:13:26,375
[glitching]
307
00:13:26,458 --> 00:13:28,375
What defense would we have then?
308
00:13:28,875 --> 00:13:30,500
[ominous music]
309
00:13:30,583 --> 00:13:32,542
[wind howling]
310
00:13:42,500 --> 00:13:44,042
Looks like nopony's home.
311
00:13:44,125 --> 00:13:45,625
[burbling]
312
00:13:45,708 --> 00:13:48,417
[Spike gasps]
The Dragonstone! Do you sense it, too?
313
00:13:48,500 --> 00:13:51,375
It's definitely inside there, but it…
314
00:13:51,458 --> 00:13:53,250
it feels distant.
315
00:13:53,333 --> 00:13:57,333
Like she's keeping it somewhere… below.
316
00:13:57,417 --> 00:14:00,167
[Fountain] Oh no! C'mon! Not a--
317
00:14:00,250 --> 00:14:02,000
-[door clangs]
-Dungeon!
318
00:14:02,083 --> 00:14:04,792
Urgh! You know I hate dungeons!
319
00:14:04,875 --> 00:14:07,417
You know what happens
to a dragon in a dungeon?
320
00:14:07,500 --> 00:14:08,667
They chain us up?
321
00:14:08,750 --> 00:14:11,042
They chain us up! Correct!
322
00:14:11,125 --> 00:14:13,500
I've been chained up
in a dungeon before, Luxxe.
323
00:14:13,583 --> 00:14:16,000
Have you?! It's not cool.
324
00:14:16,083 --> 00:14:17,500
It's not cool at all!
325
00:14:17,583 --> 00:14:20,500
Shh! Opaline can return at any moment.
326
00:14:20,583 --> 00:14:22,000
[ominous music]
327
00:14:28,333 --> 00:14:30,042
There!
328
00:14:30,125 --> 00:14:32,083
It's just been charged…
329
00:14:32,167 --> 00:14:34,083
Oh no. Lava and Jade.
330
00:14:34,167 --> 00:14:36,667
She has them!
That means she must've…
331
00:14:36,750 --> 00:14:38,083
Chained them up!
332
00:14:38,167 --> 00:14:39,583
Once we retrieve the stone,
333
00:14:39,667 --> 00:14:41,458
we can rescue them
and set everything right.
334
00:14:44,042 --> 00:14:47,083
She's got some kind
of magic shield around the stone.
335
00:14:48,917 --> 00:14:52,042
Oh, that's where you're wrong, Spike…
336
00:14:52,125 --> 00:14:53,292
[chuckling]
337
00:14:53,375 --> 00:14:56,583
I didn't put a spell
around my Dragonstone…
338
00:14:57,167 --> 00:15:00,083
I put a spell around my dragons!
339
00:15:00,167 --> 00:15:01,792
[cackling]
340
00:15:01,875 --> 00:15:06,125
Aw, come on! I told you guys!
341
00:15:06,208 --> 00:15:09,083
[groaning]
342
00:15:09,167 --> 00:15:12,458
[Spike] Ugh, you can't keep us
in here forever!
343
00:15:12,542 --> 00:15:13,708
Oh, hush.
344
00:15:14,250 --> 00:15:17,750
[Opaline] You'd be surprised how long
I can keep somedragon in here.
345
00:15:17,833 --> 00:15:19,250
You're mine now.
346
00:15:19,333 --> 00:15:22,167
My own little Scaly Army.
347
00:15:22,250 --> 00:15:24,083
How lovely. See?
348
00:15:24,167 --> 00:15:26,667
I can make friends too.
349
00:15:26,750 --> 00:15:28,750
Friendship, ha!
350
00:15:28,833 --> 00:15:31,375
They used to tell me that was magic.
351
00:15:31,458 --> 00:15:34,333
[chuckling]
You know what I think is magic?
352
00:15:34,417 --> 00:15:35,333
[babbling]
353
00:15:35,417 --> 00:15:38,542
Power! And soon, I'll have all of it.
354
00:15:38,625 --> 00:15:40,583
Dragonstone? Right there.
355
00:15:40,667 --> 00:15:43,167
Cutie Mark Magic? Incoming.
356
00:15:43,250 --> 00:15:45,458
Prisbeam? Soon enough.
357
00:15:45,542 --> 00:15:47,000
Together Trees?
358
00:15:47,083 --> 00:15:49,375
Did you see my tree upstairs?
359
00:15:49,458 --> 00:15:50,667
Poor little thing.
360
00:15:50,750 --> 00:15:52,792
I tried and tried to make it grow,
361
00:15:52,875 --> 00:15:56,125
but you know what feeds
a Together Tree, right?
362
00:15:56,667 --> 00:15:58,708
Did you guess "Unity?"
363
00:15:58,792 --> 00:16:02,125
That's correct. It's always unity.
364
00:16:02,208 --> 00:16:06,167
So my little tree would always
just wither up and die.
365
00:16:07,125 --> 00:16:11,792
[Opaline] Why, even when I found it a real
live friend, it wouldn't grow.
366
00:16:11,875 --> 00:16:16,833
No matter. My little fake friend
brought some real unity magic back to me
367
00:16:16,917 --> 00:16:18,833
whether she meant to or not.
368
00:16:18,917 --> 00:16:22,458
And all it took was one tiny spark
369
00:16:22,542 --> 00:16:24,292
to activate my tree.
370
00:16:24,375 --> 00:16:25,458
[whimpering]
371
00:16:25,542 --> 00:16:28,042
And once my tree woke up,
372
00:16:28,125 --> 00:16:31,125
well, it made friends with the tree
in Maretime Bay
373
00:16:31,208 --> 00:16:33,500
and another tree in Bridlewood.
374
00:16:33,583 --> 00:16:37,917
And then my friend Misty,
do you know what she did?
375
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,917
She grew a brand new one
for us in Zephyr Heights.
376
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,083
So maybe My Little Misty
377
00:16:46,167 --> 00:16:49,708
really has been a true friend, after all.
378
00:16:49,792 --> 00:16:52,833
Now all of the Cutie Marks come to me…
379
00:16:52,917 --> 00:16:56,125
One by one. Bing. Bong…
380
00:16:56,208 --> 00:17:01,333
But I'm saving my favorite
Cutie Marks for last.
381
00:17:01,417 --> 00:17:03,833
And once I have those,
382
00:17:03,917 --> 00:17:06,458
nothing will stop me
383
00:17:06,542 --> 00:17:08,875
from total domination!
384
00:17:08,958 --> 00:17:12,750
Then, Equestria is mine!
385
00:17:12,833 --> 00:17:18,125
[cackling]
386
00:17:21,458 --> 00:17:23,875
[whimpering]
387
00:17:23,958 --> 00:17:26,042
[glitching]
388
00:17:26,125 --> 00:17:28,292
Oh, this is all my fault.
389
00:17:28,375 --> 00:17:29,917
I never should've come here.
390
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,125
If I hadn't helped Opaline,
she never could've done all this.
391
00:17:33,208 --> 00:17:36,417
You can't think like that.
What were you supposed to do?
392
00:17:36,500 --> 00:17:39,500
Stay in that creepy lair forever
by yourself?
393
00:17:39,583 --> 00:17:42,167
Besides, I'm the one
who made us all leave.
394
00:17:42,250 --> 00:17:44,458
We never should've gone
to the Isle of Scaly!
395
00:17:44,542 --> 00:17:47,625
We should've stayed here
and protected Equestria.
396
00:17:47,708 --> 00:17:49,792
[glitching]
397
00:17:49,875 --> 00:17:53,333
But then you wouldn't have helped
the Dragons find their courage again.
398
00:17:53,417 --> 00:17:57,000
You're a leader, Sunny.
You always help everypony.
399
00:17:57,083 --> 00:17:59,583
I'm not a leader. I'm just a pony.
400
00:17:59,667 --> 00:18:02,750
A pony who can't ever stop
stirring up trouble!
401
00:18:02,833 --> 00:18:05,333
Sunny, you know that's not--
[gasping]
402
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:07,667
She's back! Opaline's here.
403
00:18:07,750 --> 00:18:08,792
How do you know?
404
00:18:08,875 --> 00:18:10,875
I can feel it in my hooves.
405
00:18:10,958 --> 00:18:12,167
See it in my mind…
406
00:18:12,250 --> 00:18:14,500
[Opaline cackling]
407
00:18:17,583 --> 00:18:19,750
Everypony, keep away from the tree.
408
00:18:19,833 --> 00:18:22,042
This is the Sheriff's responsibility!
409
00:18:22,125 --> 00:18:24,500
I won't let any more
of you be in danger.
410
00:18:24,583 --> 00:18:26,458
-[chirping]
-[Hitch] Kenneth. Guys. No.
411
00:18:26,542 --> 00:18:28,167
You can't be here, either.
412
00:18:28,250 --> 00:18:30,042
[tense music]
413
00:18:34,125 --> 00:18:36,833
[Opaline] Don't try to hide, ponies.
414
00:18:36,917 --> 00:18:39,250
I will find you!
415
00:18:39,333 --> 00:18:41,333
Not as long as Sheriff Hitch is around!
416
00:18:44,417 --> 00:18:47,000
[chuckling]
Earth Pony Magic!
417
00:18:47,083 --> 00:18:49,958
Ah, what'll they think of next?
418
00:18:50,042 --> 00:18:53,792
Wait! Kenneth! Steven! McSnipsalot!
419
00:18:53,875 --> 00:18:55,167
No!
420
00:18:58,333 --> 00:18:59,583
No…
421
00:19:01,125 --> 00:19:02,792
Ugh!
422
00:19:02,875 --> 00:19:04,542
[chirping]
423
00:19:12,167 --> 00:19:14,292
[whimpering]
424
00:19:14,375 --> 00:19:17,708
Come out, come out, wherever you are!
425
00:19:17,792 --> 00:19:19,667
Not in my town!
426
00:19:21,833 --> 00:19:24,125
Ugh!
[grunting]
427
00:19:24,208 --> 00:19:25,458
Ah!
428
00:19:25,542 --> 00:19:27,000
[grunting]
429
00:19:27,917 --> 00:19:29,750
[laughing]
430
00:19:29,833 --> 00:19:33,542
Your weeds are no match
for a Fire Alicorn!
431
00:19:33,625 --> 00:19:35,000
-[thudding]
-Huh?
432
00:19:36,125 --> 00:19:38,750
[Opaline] Well, look at that.
433
00:19:38,833 --> 00:19:43,750
And I thought I'd collected
all of the other Cutie Marks.
434
00:19:46,208 --> 00:19:47,250
Not today!
435
00:19:48,167 --> 00:19:50,458
[grunting]
[Hitch] Run! Get out of here!
436
00:19:50,542 --> 00:19:51,750
After them!
437
00:19:51,833 --> 00:19:53,625
No!
[groaning]
438
00:19:53,708 --> 00:19:55,250
[Opaline] There it is.
439
00:19:55,333 --> 00:19:57,583
Ripe for the plucking!
440
00:19:57,667 --> 00:19:59,167
[groaning]
441
00:20:00,708 --> 00:20:03,083
Not in my town!
442
00:20:03,167 --> 00:20:05,792
[grunting]
443
00:20:05,875 --> 00:20:07,042
Ah!
444
00:20:09,958 --> 00:20:11,500
[grunting]
445
00:20:16,333 --> 00:20:18,083
[grunting]
446
00:20:19,208 --> 00:20:22,000
[laughing]
447
00:20:22,083 --> 00:20:24,125
-She's got Hitch!
-We have to help him!
448
00:20:25,458 --> 00:20:28,458
Sunny… I-I can't.
449
00:20:28,542 --> 00:20:30,667
Misty! We have to.
450
00:20:30,750 --> 00:20:32,750
I don't think I can face her.
451
00:20:33,750 --> 00:20:36,000
You don't have to. Stay here!
452
00:20:36,083 --> 00:20:38,875
Somepony needs to protect
the Unity Crystals.
453
00:20:39,708 --> 00:20:41,708
[grunting]
454
00:20:42,917 --> 00:20:45,083
[tense music]
455
00:20:48,458 --> 00:20:49,583
Not…
456
00:20:49,667 --> 00:20:51,500
in my… town.
457
00:20:53,333 --> 00:20:54,292
[both] Hitch!
458
00:20:54,375 --> 00:20:57,500
[laughing]
459
00:21:00,792 --> 00:21:02,958
[stomping]
460
00:21:03,042 --> 00:21:04,708
[roaring]
461
00:21:04,792 --> 00:21:06,458
[Opaline laughing]
462
00:21:08,042 --> 00:21:11,625
[Opaline's laughter echoing]
463
00:21:12,875 --> 00:21:14,125
Hitch!
464
00:21:15,542 --> 00:21:17,958
No! Hitch!
465
00:21:18,042 --> 00:21:19,875
[Jade] Now, Mistress Opaline,
466
00:21:19,958 --> 00:21:24,375
all of the Cutie Mark Magic
in Equestria is yours.
467
00:21:24,458 --> 00:21:26,708
Not quite.
468
00:21:28,875 --> 00:21:31,833
[Opaline] Four little ponies to go…
469
00:21:31,917 --> 00:21:33,875
[thunder booming]
470
00:21:36,042 --> 00:21:38,667
[♪♪]
471
00:21:38,750 --> 00:21:41,208
Subtitling: difuze
