Line 16:
* Twilight gets one in Trixie's reharmonizing by keeping her wits about her through [[The Heartless|Loneliness']] illusion of an insane asylum and catching the fact she'd said her [[A Glitch in The Matrix|THREE friends, not SIX]] had brought her there. Loneliness hadn't mentioned Princess Celestia at all, and both things any real doctor taking care of an insane pony ''would'' know about her, but ''Trixie'' wouldn't.
* Trixie gets one by finally breaking free of Loneliness' spell, and coming out of Discord a better pony than when she came in, completely obliterating Loneliness in the process.
* Luna actually ''gaining control'' over her identity as Nightmare Moon when Discord's games threaten to turn her into a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]. And then it's shown that ''she'' sent Twilight's letters, due to her sister being Discorded into a useless child, and floats it right under his nose, because "Why the hell not?"
** Luna wasn't as lucky as Applejack when she looked in the Well Of Forever, but by taking the full brunt of it and learning the entirety of all Truth and [[All the Myriad Ways]], it's a wonder she's hasn't completely lost it. Consider that she had the entire millennium that she was banished, including the fate of everyone she knew revealed to her in eidetic detail to mull over, and the [[What Could Have Been]]. Possibly advance information on Nightmare Moon, depending on how the timeline breaks down.
** One of the thing she learns is that [[My Little Pony|G1 Mimic]] threw down with Discord after he broke down the Rainbow of Light into the Elements, and [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|kicked his teeth in.]] Granted, it was the last thing she ever did as a solid state of matter, but there's a good reason he only has the one fang.
*** This moment was so [[Badass]] that a fan saw fit to [http://firedrake368.deviantart.com/#/d4fz0f1 make fanart of it.] The [[Defiant to The End]] expression on her face just makes it all the more awesome!
*** The [http://fav.me/d4lgn8g fanfiction version] makes it ''even more'' epic by explaining that {{spoiler|Mimic succeeding in ''wounding'' Discord served as a [[Hope Springs Eternal]], inspiring Celestia and Luna as well as awakening the Element Of Magic, setting the stage for Discord's downfall.}} On top of this, Discord had told her that there's no way she could so much as scratch him. After she does, knowing he's going to kill her regardless, she says this;
{{quote| '''Mimic''': [[Facing the Bullets One -Liner|You lose.]]}}
** We ''finally'' see this moment in all its glory in "Origins". Its every bit as epic as it was hinted to be, made even more so because {{spoiler|Mimic was Celestia and Luna's mother and she went [[Mama Bear]] on his flank}}. And she gets the satisfaction of not only being the only mortal pony to harm Discord in such a way he couldn't heal from it, she manages to utterly destroy his [[Smug Snake]] facade for the entire fight ''without even touching him'':
{{quote| '''Mimic''': One more thing Discord. I think I should tell you. You know the rainbow that connects this world with the world of humans?<br />
Line 40:
*** It is also implied that {{spoiler|Luna may have poured a bit of herself into Pipsqueak, which means he may actually have done all that himself!}}
* {{spoiler|The ''entire'' fight with Princess Gaia's Knight [[The Dragon|Cheerilee]]. Especially when Trixie goes [[Guile Heroine]] and Rarity going [[Mama Bear]].}}
** {{spoiler|Not to mention Pinkie Pie ''[[What Do You Mean ItsIt's Not Awesome?|breaking into the middle of Cheerilee's]] [[Villain Song]]'' while suddenly [[Offscreen Teleportation|appearing behind her]], attempting to put her into a ''sleeper hold'' and then drag her to the ground from behind.}}
* {{spoiler|The various allies of the Mane Cast doing their best to fend off Princess Gaia's animal army. This includes highlights such as the Wonderbolts managing to take out a ''full grown dragon'' and Trixie's mother Morgan taking part in the defense of her hometown.}}
** {{spoiler|Especially of note is Philomena as the [[One -Man Army]] in protecting Canterlot by incinerating anything that gets close. The royal guards are stunned in fear and awe.}}
* {{spoiler|1=StarSong fighting Anarchy in Pinkie's defense. Especially that she's willing to be ''[[Heroic Sacrifice|erased from existence]]'' [[Heroic Sacrifice|to protect her friend.]] }}
* A group of fans assembling to do an [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClMeWbsJ7wQ audio version of the fanfic!]
Line 58:
* In the last part of "Pearl Necklace", {{spoiler|Fluttershy manages to stand in front of a huge crowd and give a speech. As if that weren't impressive enough for a shy pegasus like her, somepony who still holds a grudge on her throws a rock, nailing her in the head. It takes both of the Flutters to manage it, but they barely flinch and continue the speech.}}
* Alright, it {{spoiler|was [[All Just a Dream]]}}, but seeing Celestia {{spoiler|use her full-power to defend her subjects from the now evil Luna and ''winning'' was pretty awesome, even if she was the [[Hero Antagonist]] at the time.}}
{{quote| '''Princess Celestia''': {{spoiler|I have had a thousand years to prepare for another rogue Alicorn little sister. I hoped and prayed it would not be you. [[Crazy Prepared|But I am more than ready]]. [[One -Winged Angel|ORION!]]}}}}
* {{spoiler|Applejack and Orangejack growing to accept their differences, realizing that their similarities are more important than those differences, and standing united to battle [[Knight Templar|Nightmare Mirror]]. Bonus points to Orangejack for calming herself down, [[Guile Hero|fighting with her head]], and trading verbal jabs with Mirror, despite never being in actual ''battle'' before, let alone versus a Nighmare. ''Then'' it turns out that Orangejack can bear the Element of Generosity.}}
** {{spoiler|Applejack calling [[All the Myriad Ways|alternate versions of herself]] that can bear the Elements of Loyalty, Magic, Laughter, and Kindness and thus invoking the Elements to defeat Nightmare Mirror counts as well.}}
Line 65:
* Easy to miss, but {{spoiler|We see Twilight Tragedy manage to get through to Greedity and make her perform a [[Heel Face Turn]].}}
* [http://fav.me/d4mxufo This] absolutely epic piece of fanart for Trixie's Discording. It was also used for the Audio Adaptation.
* Sweetie Belle [[Shut UP, Hannibal|telling off Silverspoon's mother]] for calling the Cutie Mark Crusaders urchins and considering them too lowly {{spoiler|to be Silverspoon's friends.}} She tops it off by ending it on a ''completely polite'' note.
{{quote| '''Sweetie Belle''': My big sister owns Carousel Boutique, we sell to Canterlot and super-stars! Applebloom's family founded Ponyville! Scootaloo is apprentice to Best Young Flyers' Reigning Champion and world record holder for Sonic Rainbooms! (forces Scootaloo and Applebloom to bow along with her) Madam!}}
** The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Spike, and {{spoiler|[[Sixth Ranger|Silverspoon]]}} managing to ''travel through time''. Keep in mind this is a group of fillies and a baby dragon who manage to do travel through time ''on accident''.
