All seemed hopeless, like everyone would lose Rainbow Dash.

Twilight: Fluttershy, you can't just give up, we'll get Rainbow back.

Applejack: What's that old saying? Friends help each other, no matter what!

Pinkie: Yeah! This may seem hopeless and it looks like we might just lose Rainbow Dash and never see her again, but-

All: PINKIE!!!

Twilight: What she meant to say is that this may seem hard and impossible to handle, but friends don't give up on each other.

The girls began to sing.

Twilight: For every day I look around me

For every time I see you near

I thank the stars whose light surrounds me

I thank the earth that keeps you here

'Cause I will only follow

My true heart

And I can see it clear now

Right from the start

You were my little pony girls

I used to wonder what friendship could be

My little pony girls

Until you shared its magic with me

Applejack: You saw the change (you saw the change)

That we all needed (that we all needed)

You saw how good that we could be (could be)

Rarity: We'll never let little things come between us

Now that we found this destiny

Pinkie: And we can stand up tall now

To any hate

'Cause best friends stick together

We love and tolerate

All: My little pony girls

I used to wonder what friendship could be

My little pony girls

Until you shared its magic with me

If one falls down (down)

We all come around

Yeah, you're so free

To be anything, anything that you want to be

Yeah! My little pony girls

I used to wonder what friendship could be

My little pony girls

Until you shared its magic with me

My little pony girls

I used to wonder what friendship could be

My little pony girls

Until you shared its magic with me...

Fluttershy began to feel better, she was just giving up on Rainbow Dash, but these girls aren't ordinary, they're magic. They'll defeat Nightmare Moon in any way they can and restore Rainbow Dash.

Fluttershy: *sniff* Y'know, you're right. There's still hope.

Pinkie: That's the spirit! Now, let's kick some moony butts and save Dashie!

Nightmare: Hmm, you are a persistent bunch.

Sunset: *Gasp!* Nightmare Moon! Show yourself!

Nightmare: Very well, as you wish.

The girls looked outside the window, Nightmare Moon appeared in human form. She was carrying...Rainbow Dash? Wait, she didn't have legs! Was it her spirit? There was hope after all!

Fluttershy: *Gasp!* She's got Dashie's spirit!

Pinkie: BRING RAINBOW DASH BACK THIS INSTANT!!!

Nightmare: Like you'll ever see your friend again!

Pinkie: You wanna fight? Then, come and get it!!!!

This was the beginning of an epic battle.
