Movie	MLP EqG: Friendship Games (Part 3)	Aired: September 17 2015
Principal Cinch takes her place at the judges table before Princess Cadence announces the rules and gameplay for the events. The pressure is on for the teams to hit a bulls-eye before moving on and Lemon Zest has no problem doing so. With that, Twilight moves forward, only to land on her face and continue while Fluttershy struggles to even hit the target. As Twilight struggles to get her foot properly on the platform, Fluttershy manages to land a bulls-eye and pull ahead. Now Twilight struggles to hit the target and Applejack gets it on her 2nd try, givng them the lead, even after Twilight fails to get the mark two tries later. Twilight is getting nervous now and her teammates aren't making her feel better so Applejack helps Twilight with some pointers. Twilight manages to get a bulls-eye and her teammates are off at last. As a last comfort, Applejack hugs Twilight and releases her pony up magic for Twilight's gizmo to capture. Twilight has no idea what's going on but trips and the gizmo flies off the necklace and into the road. As a result, a portal has opened but it doesn't stay open long and Pinkie Pie and Rarity are temporarily in the lead before Crystal Prep's teammates catch up and tie the score at 5. As Twilight struggles to reach her device, Rarity gives Pinkie Pie a literal leg up to win the race. However, portals are opening up on the motorcross track and while Rainbow Dash manages to avoid the venus flytrap-like creature that emerges, Sunset Shimmer isn't so lucky and ends up falling off while dodging. Worse still, Crystal Prep's teammate uses the creature to get ahead only to be trashed in the end while Rainbow Dash helps SS back to her feet and allows her to join back into the race. As a result, RD pony ups and Principal Cinch is suspicious. RD and SS can still win and race off while the Crystal Prep teammmate falls into a hole for a time. SS takes off with the bike but the Crystal Prep teammate catches up. SS manages to win the race just as RD defeats the monster. The cheers are short-lived as while Twilight restores order by closing her gizmo, Cadence orders everyone to the gymnasium. The mane six check up on each other and learn they're okay. However, Twilight's gizmo finds RD's pony up magic and captures it, leaving RD as drained as the others had been earlier. As Cinch watches on, a portal forms and SS is angry that Twilight has no knowledge of her own device and probably shouldn't be messing with thing she doesn't understand. Twilight cannot take it and runs off, leaving RD to make SS realize what she'd done. Meanwhile, Cinch doesn't believe they're just accepting what went on even though they both saw it. Celestia wants to end the games in a draw but Cinch won't have it and says the games will continue as planned along with CHS' defeat. SS apologizes to Celestia and despite Celestia's assurance, SS really believes it's her fault since she has yet to understand the magic they have, not to mention Crystal Prep won't accept that they've really lost if there's magic around. To break the tie, it's time for the teams to find their flag and the first team to do so wins. Fluttershy doesn't feel like playing anymore but they have to play and prove they aren't cheaters. AJ will then allow SS to make up with Twilight. Elsewhere, Crystal Prep strategizies and Cinch is so impressed with Twilight's device that she suggests releasing the magic even though Twilight has no understanding of how it works. To further convince Twilight, Cinch breaks into a song with the others following suit and surrounding Twilight. Feeling cornered, Twilight removes the device from her neck and as CHS and Spike look on, Twilight activates the device and no one really pays attention to Cadence announcing the final event. SS and Spike try to intervene but it's too late as the magic has been released. Twilight is lifted into the air and even Principal Cinch is having second thoughts as Twilight is absorbed into the magic and transformed into a much darker entity. Now fully understanding the magic, she uses it to destroy the CHS statue and wreck the surrounding land. Portals appear everywhere and Cinch wants none of it so she recommends her class follow. However, the ground beneath them is giving way and Rarity and two others find themselves on the brink of doom before being helped by other Crystal Prep members. SS finds Twilight's gizmo and restores the magic to the rest of the Mane Six before turning to face the dark Twilight. SS tries to convince Twilight of the wrong choice she's making but Twilight doesn't listen. SS has been where Twilight has and made the same mistake and even with all the magic Twilight now has, she will still be alone and brings out the new Elements of Harmony using the device. As a result, SS also undergoes a transformation but for good not evil and wants to show the magic of friendship. After cleaning up, SS finds herself in a battle against dark Twilight but Spike calls out to Twilight and the good Twilight is revealed. SS takes advange by going full power and manages to stop the battle and get Twilight to give her hand and return to the ground as her old self. Twilight apologizes but SS already knows it was never meant to happen and Twilight will surely be forgiven in time. Spike knocks Twilight to the ground and has her glasses but Cinch wants CHS to forfeit the Friendship Games even though their side won the battle, not to mention Sour Cream summarizes what happened in a nutshell ala Pinkie Pie. Cinch wants to take up the matter to the school board but Celestia, Luna and Cadence aren't frightened as the story won't be believed. Just when it looks like Cinch will blow a fuse, she straightens out and walks away, leaving Celestia to announce they're all winners. Later, Twilight is on the steps and tells Cadence that she isn't so sure she wants to leave just yet and could learn a lot by staying and would like to transfer to CHS instead. While Cadence discusses the matter with Celestia, SS hasn't recieved any reply from Twilight but explains how magic works here before Celestia brings the news that the Twilight double is joining their school. The 2nd Twilight is accepted but the original Twilight appears to explain her time loop situation and finds her other self directly in front to be the 2nd strangest event she's ever had.
