"Wait! We're not changelings! I'm a pony!"
"Do something dragonish!"
That's what you get, Pinkie...
...for quoting Flim Flam Bros.
"The servants of Chrysalis will do..."
"...anything to save their evil skins!"
"If they are changelings we'll soon see."
"Though I think they're not what they appear to be."
"Please, you have to listen."
"...no changeling hides..."
Well, its good for the coat?
"The meaning is far worse, I see..."
"...for it is we who should not be."
"...but let's not talk here."
"Chrysalis and her army..."
"...will soon draw near!"
"The changelings took over not long ago."
"Though I'll wager in your world that isn't so."
"Chrysalis and her army tried to take over Canterlot..."
"Those friends as you know them..."
"...how all this came to pass."
"...a pony who traveled back in time to stop my friends and me..."
"...from ever coming together!"
"And it is these friends you have in life that keep Equestria free from strife?"
"But this is the second time I've come back..."
"...and this world is even worse than the last one!"
"If Starlight keeps doing the same thing in the past..."
"...how could the present be so different?"
"...where even the tiniest..."
"...of effects downstream."
"This part of the forest is dark and damp..."
"...but it's done well to hide our camp."
Well that doesn't look hidden enough.
"Please! You have to help us!"
"The changelings attacked Ponyville!"
"We barely escaped with our lives!"
"The only changeling attack I see..."
"...is the one that come here..."
"It's taken quite a while to find you..."
The return of the changeling queen.
So, Chrysalis
still likes to destroy hats?
"What a lovely village you've chosen..."
"...to stage your little..."
"It looks absolutely delicious!"
"You're vastly outnumbered."
"I know you don't want your charges hurt. Come quietly to the dungeons of Canterlot..."
"and I promise to leave the others alone." (Yep, it's even further confirmed those are changeling captains.)
"Why would she ever trust you?!"
"Even if there's a chance Chrysalis will honor her word..."
"Race to the map while we hold off their attack. Stop Starlight..."
"...and put the whole world back on track!"
"Time to make a decision, Zecora!"
"Even if what you are saying were true..."
"...we'd never surrender to a creature..."
Insert Braveheart joke here.
Just another one of the most epic battles of the show (only this one ends sadly)
Talk about 'No mercy for you this time!'
Missed me, missed me, now you gotta kiss me!
"...but it's gonna take a lot..."
"Lucky for you, there's more where that came from!"
They apparently don't know that this air-to-air combat can be dangerous.
"You've really gotta work on your aim."
..what's happening over there?
"You have to finish your race!"
"This is way more exciting!"
"You can't stop me no matter..."
"Well, you obviously don't mean us..."
"...because that's becoming pretty routine."
"No, it's just the other times we've come back, it's been day!"
"Why would the map bring us back to a different time of day than when we left?"
"Um, maybe we should figure it out later!"
Must need a new battery. (gets tomato thrown at)
The Castle of the Two Sisters is 20 percent cooler.
"Well, don't just stand here!"
"This place looks a lot cleaner than I remember."
"The castle isn't open for viewings today."
"The tapestries all need changing."
"I don't know anypony who would." (Dat's racist!)
Wow, seeing Spike heartbroken breaks my heart.
"...you have to listen to me!"
"The future of Equestria's at stake!"
"...how you know my name..."
"...but I am far too busy..."
"...to entertain some tourist's ridiculous fantasies."
"I have to get back to the map..."
"...so I can stop Starlight from changing the past..."
"...because every present I come to..."
"...is worse than the last!"
"Now that's something I would like to see."
A pity they'll all be gone within five minutes.
"...you came by this magic to travel through time."
"The princess asked you a question!"
Nice buzz cut, Rainbow Dash!
"And unless you wanna end up in the dungeon..."
"...you'll tell her what she wants to know!"
"Nopony in my kingdom but me..."
"...should possess a magic powerful enough to change time."
"My sister has been imprisoned..."
"...in the moon for years!" (The new Mare in the Moon.)
"But it is no less a fate..."
"...than she'd sentence me to!"
"...reveal to me the source of this time magic!"
"Twilight, no!" (How many times has he said that on the show?)
"We have no choice, Spike."
"I can take you to it..."
"...but you'll have to get past the timberwolves."
" am the ruler of all of Equestria."
"Do you think I can't deal with..."
"And if you were thinking of trying to escape..."
"...it would be very unfortunate for your friend."
"A pony from my time used this spell..."
"...to travel back and change the past."
"And now you will give this spell to me!"
"...and my reign lasts..."
"...and used them to defeat you!"
"And I will do everything in my power..."
"...to bring that world back!"
"Now more than ever I know how important it is to stop you!"
Oh, no! It's the half-horse, half-monkey-thing from last season!
Uh, let's just skip exploring this future and go back to Starlight!
Right, Spike! I don't wanna see anymore of Tirek!
Perhaps Starlight got a point here...
Twilight indeed should refine her aiming precision.
King Discord with his court jesters. (Discord cane and Screw Ball appearances, BEST DAY EVER)
Fire up the horn! Oh, and these are the worst futures ever!
How did Flim and Flam beat Tirek?
Nothing is the same anymore.
Exeunt Twilight and Spike
"Up for another race-ending fight, Twilight?"
"But you can't stop me from trying..."
"...and we could be stuck doing this..."
"If that's what it takes to keep you and your..."
"...from getting your cutie mark connection..."
"What you're doing goes way beyond cutie marks!"
"Everything we do here in the past..."
"...even the smallest change..."
"...can snowball into an avalanche of trouble for the future!"
"...next I suppose you'll tell me..."
"...that 'the fate of'..."
"...'all of Equestria'..."
"...'hangs in the balance!'"
"Spare me your overblown ego!"
"...not even Princess Twilight's..."
"Aaaaaaah!" (That must hurt...And be dangerous)
"I don't know how important other ponies' friendships are..."
"...but I can show you what the world is like without mine!"
Twilight's 8th departure to the future, this time with Starlight.
Here we see the vast wasteland that was once known as Equestria.
Wow. This is probably the darkest the show has ever gone. Showing the possible extinction of all life.
"Or rather, the present."
"But there's nothing here!"
"I wish I could say I was surprised."
"But every world I come back to..."
"...is worse than the last."
"I don't know why my friends and I are so important to Equestria..."
This is what your village looks like in this timeline, Starlight! You happy?
"I don't believe you!" (Stage 1: Denial)
"Come on, Starlight, look around!"
Fallout: Equestria, anypony?
"Like I said, everything in the past affects the future..."
"...even the tiniest act."
"And what you're doing leads here."
"I know I can't stop you, but I thought showing you this..."
"...might change your mind."
"You don't know anything about me!"
"I was perfectly happy..."
"...and your friends ruined..."
"...what I built!" (Stage 2: Anger)
"I don't know what happened..."
"...that led you to make your village without cutie marks..."
"...and I'm sorry my friends and I had to take it away."
"You want to know what happened to me?!"
"That map of yours is connected..."
"...to every part of Equestria..."
Those two look cute as foals. Hmm...
"Sunburst and I did everything together."
"In fact, I don't remember us ever..."
