Talk:The Beginning of the End - Part 1/@comment-26423071-20190319004648

Season 9 is the "passing of the torch" season.

Fluttershy and Applejack and Rarity and Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle and Spike will become the new Emperors of Equestria, retiring from their former hero duties in order to rule Equestria.

And the Young Six will inherit the hero duties. Sandbar, Gallus, Ocellus, Yona, Silverstream, Gallus and Smolder will protect Equestria from the forces of evil, and they will spread the message of friendship all over Equestria.

This is why this two-parter is called "The Beginning of the End": because this season is where the nine-seasons-long journery for the Mane Six and Spikje finally ends. This season, they fulfill their destiny.
