06x03 - Roots of All Evil Pt. 2

[bunniefuu]

[gurgling]

[chuckling]

[dramatic music]

Hitch! No!

[gasps]
Opaline... she's here!

We have to protect the crystals!

No... I think she's here
for our Cutie Marks.

Sunny, I don't know if I can face her.

[laughing maniacally]

[Sunny] Lava and Jade!

If they get through
Twilight's protection spell...

[Opaline] There's no place left to hide.

Once I have you and your friends'
Cutie Mark Magic,

nopony in Equestria
will be able to stop me.

[laughing]

[exclaiming, groaning]

That spell can't protect you forever.

Dragons! Light it up!

[Opaline] More! More!

The Dragonfire is so strong!
I don't think the spell

is going to hold much longer!
Misty, I need you to promise me,

if I can't stop her, you have to take
the Unity Crystals and...

-[Opaline laughing]
-Misty?

Don't stop until you break through!

[Misty] Hey, Opaline!

Is this necklace new?!
It's pretty!

[gasps]
Misty!

-Ha-ha!
-[Opaline] Misty!

After her!

[grunts, pants]

You little thief! Give it back!

[Misty] Wasn't it you who
taught me how to steal, Opaline?

Quit hiding! Show yourself!

[Misty] Aw, but I thought you liked it
when I was sneaky?

-Gotcha!
-[squeaks]

So, I guess now's a good time to tell you

that I've been sneaking around
behind your back!

You what?!

[Misty] I'm not on your side
anymore, Opaline.

-[Opaline] Ah-ha.
-[Misty] I've got friends now!

Real friends!

-[alarm blaring]
-[Opaline groans]

And you can't take that away!

[grunts]

-[gasps]
-Little traitor.

I'll show her!

Once I have the last
of the Cutie Mark Magic,

I'll come back here and show everypony!

[grunts]

Misty!

To Zephyr Heights!

[grunts]

[Zipp] Everypony, we know this is scary.

But we're going to be okay!

No matter what happens,
we're Zephyr Heights.

And Zephyr Heights never...

[Opaline] Never had a chance.

[thudding]

[panicked screaming]

-Are you ready to surrender?
-Uh-oh.

[whimpering]

I've got an idea!
Hey, Opaline!

You want our Cutie Marks?
You can have them!

But if you want to capture
the most potent Cutie Mark Magic,

you should let my sister and I
sing you a song.

-What?!
-Oh, come on. A song?

That's when our sparkle shines
the brightest!

[singing]

[gasps]

-So sing!
-Not here!

This room has terrible acoustics.

[echoing]

[laughing nervously]
Awful, huh?

Okay, follow me!

[singing exercises]

You do have a plan, right?

Are you gonna let me in on it or...

[continues doing singing exercises]

[groans]
Hurry up!

It isn't wise to test
a Fire Alicorn's patience!

Or we'll just skip the song
and dance and...

[upbeat music]

We did it! Let's go and...

[groans]

[grunting]

I must admit, you two put on
a pretty good show.

But you forgot the first rule
of performing.

Never turn your back on the audience!

Please!

No!

Not so confident or courageous now,
are we, princesses?

-[zapping]
-Oh no!

You'll never get away with this!

I've heard that one before.

Maybe try a different tune next time.

[laughing maniacally]

[sombre music]

To Bridlewood!

[Misty] Get away from my tree!

Your tree?

I won't let you do this to me.
Or my friends!

Your friends?

They showed me what it means
to care about somepony!

Huh?
[gasps]

[growls]

There's so much you've been
hiding from me.

Your tree... your friends...

And your Cutie Mark!

And all this time,
I thought we were friends.

No! We weren't!

It's so sad. You've got
all the power in Equestria

and you still haven't ever felt
true friendship.

Ha! I have friends.

You have to force others
to pretend to be your friends!

Like me. That's control!

You ungrateful little pony!

You were by yourself for so many moons!

All alone.

I actually feel really sorry for you.

Wow, Misty. All grown up!

So empathetic. So kind!

-[grunts]
-Ah!

I always told you... if you want
your Cutie Mark,

you have to do what I say.

You used to be a good and loyal helper.

You can do that again. Hmm?

You didn't give me my Cutie Mark, Opaline.
I earned it by helping my friends.

And that's something else
you can't take away from me!

Is that so?

[gasps]

I can take whatever I want.

Ta-ta!

It's almost as if nopony wants to see us.

Come on out, little ponies!

[voices whispering] Bing-bong! Bing-bong!

Bing-bong! Bing-bong!

[voices continue whispering]

[Izzy] Bing... g-g-g-g...

Bong!

Is this how you're going
to do this, Unicorn?

All creepy-like?

Is that what your sparkle comes from?
Spookiness?

-Huh? Ugh.
-[Izzy] No... Let's jam!

[gasps]

[Opaline groaning]

Yuck! Ugh!

[Izzy] My sparkle comes...
from creativity!

-And glitter!
-Ah!

-[clanking]
-Yes!

[groaning]

[grunting]

Catch that unicorn!

[Izzy] Yeah!

[groans]

[Izzy] We could be using all this yarn
to knit cool stuff

if you weren't such a big, mean jerk!

[grunts]
Enough! Ah!

-[whimpering]
-I don't have time for arts and crafts!

Now give me what I came here for!

No!

What... what is this?!

Felt, hot glue, and a really big button!

[groans]

[melodic honking]

-[screaming]
-[engine revving]

There's always time for arts and crafts.

[screaming]

[Opaline laughing]

-[whimpering]
-If you insist!

[gasps]

[gasps]

I'm the only one left.

[both] Misty!

She took my Cutie Mark.

She took everypony's.

What are we gonna do without them?

Cutie Marks aren't the only thing
that makes us special.

And nopony can take away
what makes us special on the inside.

You said that.

But I just feel so helpless.

Hey! Get away from the tree!

You'll make Opaline stronger!

Zipp, are you sure about that?

Of course I'm sure!
We know that the trees are connected.

And then the roots, they're leaching
the power from the ponies!

I think we might have it backwards.

Look! Do those ponies look like
they're losing their powers?

No! They look happy!

Like their happiness is what gives
the trees their power?

Their friendship!
This tree right here!

It grew out of the true friendship
you ponies showed me

on the day of The Cutie Blossom Bash.

And the tree in Maretime Bay!

It grew when all of us worked together!

[Zipp] The Ponies' Unity powers the trees!

We have to tell Sunny
before it's too late!

There's no way we can get there
faster than Opaline!

How are we gonna tell her?!

We could... just call?

Oh. Right.
[chuckling]

Hello? Hello?!

-Ah-yell-o!
-Pipp!

Are you all okay?!

I sang a song to distract Opaline
and it almost worked!

We have a new plan.

Instead of staying away from the trees,

we need everypony in Equestria
to join together at them.

We might not have
Cutie Mark Magic anymore,

but Opaline can't take our friendships.

And that's true pony magic.

Zipp, I trust your instincts.

[Sunny] Hitch, gather
the Maretime Bay ponies!

Zipp, Pipp, and Misty,
you round up Zephyr Heights!

-[Sunny] Izzy!
-Bridlewood ponies to the Wishing Tree.

-On it!
-I know you ponies can do it.

I'm going to Opaline. Alone.

-It's too dangerous!
-What?!

Nopony is alone who has friends.

I'll be okay. Hoof to heart.

[all] Hoof to heart.

[bright music]

[Opaline] The time has come!

I have nearly all of the magic
in Equestria!

[laughing]

And once I take down Sunny Starscout,

I'll have the last of the Cutie Mark Magic
and the Unity Crystals at once!

[laughing]

-[gurgling]
-[door opening]

Opaline.

And here she is now!

Right on schedule.

-[gasps]
-[gurgling]

-You have to stop this!
-[laughing]

Stop this?!
[groans]

[grunting, groaning]

-It's already over!
-[grunts]

I have all of the magic in Equestria!

Except... this little bit right here.

[Sunny] You don't have to do this!
And you don't have to be alone.

We can all live in Unity.

Oh, I'm not alone! You're here.

And you're just... like... me.

You want power too.
It's what all Alicorns want.

Ugh! You don't know anything about me.

Oh, don't I? You don't study magic
and collect powerful artifacts?

You don't keep the Unity Crystals in your
lair, locked away behind a magic spell?

-[gasps]
-I've watched you.

You reawakened all the magic in Equestria!

And look at you, you got more of it
than any of your friends!

-That's not what I wanted.
-[whimpering]

[Sunny] I just wanna protect my friends
and understand magic!

[chuckling]
You seek knowledge! I see!

And tell me, little pony,
what is knowledge?

It's power!

[grunting]

[screaming]

[grunting]

[laughing]

[grunting]

I'm not like you!

[groans]

[whimpering]

[groans]

[laughing]

[whimpering]

[Opaline] Fine! If you really don't care
about power, then watch me take it all!

No! Ah!

-[laughing]
-Please!

Ah! No!

[screams, grunts]

[grunts]

[gurgling]

[Opaline laughing]

Now I've got the full set!

I win! I am the Fire Alicorn!

I am power!

[laughing]

And nothing can stop me from taking
your precious Unity Crystals either!

[laughing]

I'll shut down every
protection spell in Equestria!

[laughing]

[sombre music]

[clinking]

And I'll rule over you little,
powerless ponies...

for all eternity!

[laughing maniacally]

-[rumbling]
-[gasps]

[gasps]

We should go!

[gasps]

[grunts]

Ah! Ugh.

-[groans]
-And Opaline...

We are not friends!

-[groans]
-Just wanted to clear that up.

[screaming]

[groaning]

[gasps]

No!

My mark!

My power!

Come back!

No!

[muffled screaming]

[bright music]

Spike, I thought you were under her spell!

How did you do that?

C'mon, Sunny.

You think this is my first run-in
with an evil villain?

[laughing]
Just kidding.

It was Sparky here who broke
the spell and saved me!

[gurgling]

Seems like he transformed
her spell into one of his own.

It's just so beautiful!

I just wish my friends
were here to see it.

-Huh?
-[gasps]

[cheering]

-We're here!
-We're here!

-[Zipp] Yeah!
-[laughing]

[Hitch] And it worked!

-Ha-ha!
-Ha-ha!

-Woo-hoo!
-Yes!

[cheering]

Sunny! I still cannot believe
you went and faced Opaline alone!

I wasn't alone!

You were all with me in my heart.

And you never lost hope.

We did it together.

Again, we are so sorry
we fell under the spell of an evil villain

and terrorized you ponies like that.

That's our bad.
[chuckling nervously]

Happens to the best of us.

Hey, buddy.
[sniffling]

I heard you were very brave in there.

Not just brave! A hero.

I know he's supposed to grow up
with the dragons...

But I'll miss you every day, Sparkeroni.

You know what, Hitch?

Sparky knows better than us.

[gurgling]

Uh...

Ah... huh...

[gurgling]

Home!

[gasps]

[chuckling]
See?

I know that he's in very good
hooves with you, Hitch.

We have always had a lot
to learn from each other.

I guess that means
we'll be seeing you soon?

Who would've ever thought
that Opaline's creepy old lair

could turn into something this beautiful?

With true unity magic,
everything looks beautiful!

[epic music]

[Izzy] Everypony, look!

It's like glitter... but snow!

-[gasps]
-Wow!

[Izzy] What is it?

Do I have something in my teeth?
