(Crystal Brighthouse)

We all gathered around the Unity Crystals "Taking the Earth Pony Crystal out is the only way to keep everypony safe from this mayhem!" said Hitch "Whoa, whoa! Slow your roll! You don't know that!" went Zipp "Removing a Crystal is not like flipping a switch! We could lose everything!" I said "But if we don't try something, we could still lose everything!" said Hitch "Hitch, no!" said Sunny as soon as Hitch touched the crystals a small shock wave shot out "What am I doing? You're right. This isn't me" said Hitch we gave a sigh of relief "Guess I'm just... scared and unsure. Magic doesn't operate by any rules. Rules are what I know. What if I can't be the sheriff everypony needs now?" asked Hitch Sunny walked up to him and put a hoof on his shoulder "You'll always be a strong sheriff, Hitch. Because you care" said Sunny Hitch turned back to us "I'm sorry, everypony. I just love Maretime Bay so much. But maybe having less magic isn't the answer" said Hitch "But we're gonna find out what is the answer, right?" said Zipp "Yeah!" I said "You bet!" said Sunny "Yup!" said Izzy "Of course!" said Pipp our cutie marks the started to glow and magical stream on energy flowed out of them into the crystals "Our cutie mark magic is... combining?" asked Sunny a holograph image of Twilight then appeared "What filter is that?!" asked Pipp "It's not a filter. It's..." started Zipp "Twilight Sparkle!" said Sunny "Twi?" I quested "If you're seeing this, magic is now more powerful than it's ever been, and Earth pony magic has been activated for the first time in the history of Equestria. Magic is alive. Always changing. Growing stronger. There are evil forces out there who will want to exploit it. Once, a pony tried to steal all the magic in Equestria for herself... and almost succeeded. Prince Xavier and I did all that we could to protect it from" said Twilight but static cut out imported bits "by summoning all of our magical strength to achieve placing the magic in the crystals and the—but the spell is broken. You are exposed to the world once again. You must watch out for Op—before she op— and Xavier if your hearing this we miss and to the rest who may hear this remember —I'm with you" the image the faded away "No! Come back!" said Zipp tears appeared in my eyes "You okay?" Sunny asked me "I'm Fine" I said wiping my eyes "It's time, Hitch! You worked hard, researched, and tried your best to keep the Bay safe! But you've got to reverse action! If I wasn't you, I'd tell you... you got this!" said Hitch to himself "Um, who you talkin' to?" asked Pipp "Okay Xavier you've faced the evil pony before who is it and how to be beat them?" asked Zipp "I don't remember" I said Plainly "How can you forget that" she said "OH it's not my fault been throw into the future mess with my memories so sorry but I don't know who the evil pony is" I said

(Opaline's Dark Castle)

"Uhhh... Opaline?" asked Misty "If it's another compliment on my hooves, Misty, "hooftastic" isn't a word, and I refuse to acknowledge it" said Opaline "No, look. The Earth pony magic is getting worse" she said pointing at a screen show what was happening "Magic isn't getting worse. It's growing into something it never has before" explained Opaline "But if it's growing this fast, how are we gonna stop it?" asked Misty "Oh, no, no, no, no. We won't be stopping anything, Misty. In fact, we're gonna let it thrive. So that when we pluck it, it will be the most powerful it has ever been!" said Opaline giving an evil laugh Misty joined in giving a forced version Opaline stopped laugh and groan at her "If you're going to maniacal laugh with me, Misty, at least be in sync. Ready? And..." said Opaline she took a deep breath and the laugh evilly together in sync

(Maretime Bay)

"Forget what I said earlier! Use your magic! As much as you can!" yelled Hitch "But also focus and guide your magic!" I said the Earth pony took off the stickers and activated their magic things slowly started to go back to normal: Express yourselves! Let your freaky fun flags fly! "That's right! Listen to Xavier and... Izzy? Where's Sparky?" he asked "How have you not seen her she was with us at the Brighthouse?" I said "Uh, he's back at the station dragon-napping?" said Izzy "Oh, okay then. Wait, did you say napping?! He's gonna be up all night now!" he groaned Sprout tried his magic again and it worked but like last time the grape fruit tree grew too big and one of the grapes on it snapped off and round down the street "Hitch, look! Giant glimmerberry coming again! Six o'clock!" said Pipp "But it's only two-fifteen" said Hitch I then turned his face to the scene we saw the three filly from before trapped by some vine again for the 3rd time in the path of the glimmerberry "My Pippsqueaks!" said Pipp we ran over and tried to pull them losses but there wasn't enough time "Link hooves just like we did around the Unity Crystals! Our powers are always stronger together, right?" said Hitch we stood side by side linked hooves and forced "Relax, Hitch. All you have to do is trust yourself. You've got everything you already need" said Sunny our cutie mark then glowed and Hitch used his earth pony magic to grow a tree in the way of the glimmerberry "The tree's right in the berry's path! We're protected!" said Hitch

"We're gonna save the ponies! We're actually gonna do it!" I said the berry then collided with the tree and busted coving us in its juice "Hey, look! We're a friendship smoothie!" said Sunny Pipp smacked her lips "Mmmm. The perfect blend" she said I gave a short laugh "That was good" I said "Told ya. Earth pony magic is something else. Who knew you had the power to grow magical trees?" Sunny said to Hitch we then looked at the tree we made "Speaking of, have you seen this thing? It's like five sparkle filters combined!" said Pipp "Zipp File Number Three-One-Oh – Flowers on magical tree look strangely familiar somehow. Must investigate" she said "(Familiar I wonder") I thought "You were right, Sunny. I shouldn't have tried to control all that magic, especially my own" admitted Hitch a loud boom was then heard "What was that?! It sounds like it was coming straight from the station!" said Sunny "Sparky! Izzy, I thought I told you not to let Sparky make a mess—!" said Hitch running into the station but as we ran in we saw that the Station was "That is entirely cleaned up." He said "Wow! I've never seen Sparky this happy. Did you follow the safety schedule? Feed him before sleeping? Not sleeping before eating? Check all the boxes on the comprehensive list I left?" Hitch asked Izzy "Nope, nope, aaaaand nope! I tried that at first but soon found out that ditching all the rules and letting Sparky run free was just what the dragon ordered! Isn't that right, little cutie?" Izzy said to Sparky he purred "Thanks, Izzy. I... may have overthought it a bit. Trying to work on that. I mean, he's just a little dragon. What's the worst that could happen?" said Hitch Sparky then sneezed some of his dragon fire shot out and turned a few object into red balloons "Aaaaaand there it is" said Hitch "Whoa! Sparky has magic?!" asked Sunny "This is new" I said "What, you didn't know?" asked Izzy we shook our heads "We'll clean that up later, buddy" said Hitch putting Sparky on his back we walked back to the tree Sparky git off hitch's back and touch the tree truck this cause his spines to glow but we didn't noticed Hitch the picked him up again "Okay, Sparky. That's enough magic for today" said Hitch "Agreed I think we could all benefit from a good night sleep" I said we all hmm in agreement as we made our way back to the Brighthouse
