So I know the elements of harmony were gone at this point and Tierk was absorbing all the pony's magic but one thing that I was questioning during the episode was why didn't the cast just lure him back to The Crystal Empire? From the way it was portrayed it looked like he didn't know about the Crystal Ponies and The Crystal Empire because during Tierk's conquest he was never shown in the empire stealing the Crystal Ponies' magic. I guess I know the episode was used to introuduce rainbow power but couldn't the mane 6 and the 3 princesses of just lured him to the empire to combine their magic with the energy from the crystal heart to A) Protect the empire and B) Destroy him?
