Line 29:
 
== Celestia smashed Discord's statue. ==
While she did this to ensure he'd never find any way to escape his seal and cause chaos again, this actually [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|spread his influence]], as his chaotic spirit has diffused across the land.
 
== One of the Cutie Mark Crusaders will be a [[Dead Little Sister]]. ==
Line 40:
It's a [[Red Herring]]; something else caused the 'exploding rainbow'. A Zap Apple incident, perhaps? Or Celestia. When in doubt, blame the mule.
 
== Rainbow Dash gained the Sonic Rainboom via a [[Deal Withwith the Devil]]. ==
As a filly, she wasn't a very strong flyer, and was constantly bullied. However, she was given a chance to gain considerable strength and speed, and unleash the power of the Sonic Rainboom... unaware of the full price. When she first unleashed it, it proved deeply devastating. Fluttershy only survived because she was knocked off her seat and fell to earth -- this is also why she distrusts Rainbow, as she witnessed just ''what'' sort of carnage she's capable of.
* This may mean that Dash is also [[The Mole]], as Celestia could be blackmailing her with this information... or it could be the true reason why she was going along with Gilda's plotting, as her old friend threatened to reveal the [[Awful Truth]].
Line 51:
 
== Celestia's plot will be her undoing. ==
Regardless of whether or not she actually has a mole among the bearers or is simply relying on her ability to mislead and intimidate everyone, ultimately, the elements ''can'' [[De -Power]] her. Eventually, she will push all of them to the point where they feel they ''have'' to act -- not to save the world ''or'' their "friends", but to save their own skin.
 
Instead of [[The Power of Friendship]] triumphing, therefore, their victory will be based on Betrayal -- betraying Celestia's expectations of them. Betraying their own fears and personal failings, acting out of self-interest and self-preservation.
Line 73:
Twilight will then have to decide whether this new, potentially ''stronger'' host is worth taking a chance on, or if she should stick with the friends she already has. Either way, this'll lead to a big [[Shoot the Dog]] moment, where she must prove once again that she can be as ruthless as her mentor when it comes to fulfilling her goals.
