Equestria has changed.
I can feel it in the water.
I can smell it in the air.
I can taste it at the waterhole.
Much of what it was, lost is
since no living pony can remember it.
And of all the bad things that can happen,
This is the WORST. THING. POSSIBLE!
Oh, and the Dark Lord Sauron forged a magic horseshoe that is threatening everyone.
Applegorn, I know I'm a Unicorn
and you are an Earth pony, but
I want to be your Super Special Pony.
And I would be able to give up my Unicorn magic to achieve it.
They have been summoned here to respond to Mare-dor's threat.
I say we give Gondor the horseshoe.
It will make us 20 percent cooler.
That will not increase your style. The horseshoe only responds to Sauron.
Then it is decided. The horseshoe must be destroyed.
So what are we waiting for?
The only way to destroy the Horseshoe is to go deep into Mare-dor,
And throw it into the flames of Mount Friendship where it came from!
One of you, you must do this.
No pony simply jogs towards Mare-dor.
Rainbowomir! You have wings. Just fly there!
It's not that simple, Dodo Baggins.
Wait a minute. If Sauron is a Negativist,
Then let's just convert it with the Magic of Friendship!
One does not simply convert a Negativist.
Their hearts are surrounded by more than just hate.
There is an evil within their souls that does not sleep,
and his Judicious Eye is always vigilant.
His heart is a desolate land, matted with fire, and ash, and dust.
The same air they breathe is pessimistic.
Not even with ten thousand mares could you love and tolerate them.
It's useless.
Rainbowomir is correct. We have no other alternative. The horseshoe must be destroyed.
I will take the horseshoe to Mare-dor.
I swear by the beard of Celestiadalf. If I can protect you, I will. You have my sword at your service.
And you have my bow.
Eeeeup!
Celestiadalf! I have heard something!
That is Pinkamena. It was once called Pinkie
before the Horseshoe found her. Before I freaked her out.
Too bad Bilbo didn't hate her when she had the chance.
Pity? Many ponies that have friendship deserve hate.
And some who receive hate deserve friendship. Can you give it to him, Dodo?
Do not rush to spread hate. Maybe Pinkie will play a part in all this.
I wish the horseshoe hadn't come to me. I wish none of this had happened.
And so do those who live to see these times. But it is not something they can decide.
What we can decide is what we will do with the friendship we receive.
The community is breaking down.
He has! Rainbowomir cannot die with a small arrow.
Argh!
I know what I should do, it's just, I'm afraid to do it.
Even the smallest colt can change the course of the future.
Arwen! What happened to your horn ?!
I gave up on him to be with Applegorn.
You did what ?! How could you?!
We are in love! I would do everything for my Super Special Pony!
Your unicorn horn is what made you special!
But father! I-
You have no idea what you have done!
That which made you special is now lost forever.
Even if Sauron was defeated and Applegorn made king, and everything you want is fulfilled,
You will have to suffer a boring and mundane life like an Earth pony without magic.
But there is magic in my future.
The magic of friendship.
I told you I was cheater. I told you it was fake.
Do not! The master is our friend! We like the master!
The naughty foals stole our precious!
This requires EXTREME measures! Smeagul Pie style!
Can not be.
You had fallen
Through hate and pessimism.
In the deepest dungeon to the highest peak, I fought the darkest negativist in all of Equestria.
Until finally I launched his hatred and intolerance against the side of the mountain.
We could really use your Celestiadalf help.
Dodo and Sam are alone, and Sauron's forces are on their way to Helms Deep!
And to make matters worse, this is not an ordinary army!
They were created with a single purpose. Destroy the world of mares.
We need your help, or the world of ponies is lost!
Then I will help you. At dawn, look east.
Many of these trees were my friends.
This frustrates me so much that I could scream.
AAAhhhhh!
I can't do this, Sam.
I know. Everything is wrong.
It's like in the great stories Mr. Dodo. Those that really mattered.
Full of evil and intolerance, they were.
And sometimes nobody wanted to know the end. Because how could the end be happy?
How could Equestria return to what it was before when so much evil has happened?
But in the end, it's just a passing thing, this pessimism.
A new day will come. And when the friendship shines it will as never before.
Those were the stories that stayed with you. The ones that meant something.
Even if you were such a small colt to understand why.
But I think, Mr. Dodo, that I understand. I know now.
The foals in those stories had many opportunities to give up
But they did not. They just kept going.
Because they had something to hold on to.
And what do we hold on to, Sam?
That there is still friendship in this world
and worth fighting for it.
Equestria mares, I see in your eyes a fear that could tear my heart out.
One day it will come when the kindness of the mares fails,
in which we abandon our friends and break every bond of loyalty, but this is not that day.
An hour of hate and broken hearts, when the era of the Mares is no more,
But this is not that day!
On this day we love and tolerate!
For all you have loved in Equestria, I beg you to stand up, Yeguas del Oeste!
Do you remember Ponyville, Mr. Dodo?
It will be spring soon, and Sweet Apple Acres will be in full bloom.
And the parasprites will make their nests in the hazelnut branches.
And they will do the Summer festival in the town square.
And they will eat the first jugs of grandmother's apple jelly.
Do you remember the taste of apples?
No, Sam I can't remember the taste of the food.
Not even the sound of laughter. Or the magic of friendship!
I'm ... naked in the dark, nothing between me
and the wheel of hate!
I can see it ... with my eyes awake!
Then let's get rid of this once and for all!
Come on Mr. Dodo. I can't load it for you,
But I can load it to you!
Let's go!
I never thought I would die fighting next to a Unicorn.
How about dying next to a friend?
Eeup! I could do that.
What are you waiting for?!
Destroy the horseshoe!
Throw it into the fire!
Do not.
The Horseshoe is mine!
No dummy! It's mine!
Huh?
AAAAhhh!
Hurry up! You must force the flight, Great Eagle! Little foals need our help!
