* EldritchAbomination: A nameless monstrosity that sleeps deep down in the waters of a lake in the Everfree. It is unwittingly summoned by a melody played by the CMC, but it decides that enjoying the music and returning wayward frisbees is much better than having a rematch with [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast The Watcher Who Gives Pain]]. AKA, [[{{Badass}} Monster.]]

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: A RunningGag with the CMC, who are repeatedly referred to as "The girls. And Featherweight," (with Featherweight usually interjecting "Hey!" in the middle).

* [[WildChild Wild Filly]]: We were told that Twilight, aka Monster, was barely more than a wild animal during her time living in the Everfree Forest, roaming the woods by herself, getting into savage fights with the denizens of the Everfree Forest and flees contact by other ponies.

* MyFriendsAndZoidberg: Happens everytime somepony comments about the CMC ([[spoiler: the Zoidberg of the team is Featherweight]]).
--> [[spoiler: “Oh, there you are, darling.” A dirt-smudged Rarity fairly glided across the bank lobby floor and smiled at Trixie warmly while the bank employees dragged the gems towards the vault. “I just can’t thank you enough for permitting me to bring Spike along with the girls—”]]
--> [[spoiler: “Hey!”]]
--> [[spoiler: “—and Featherweight to dig for gems. We had a simply marvelous time, and quite productive too.”]]

* HeroicSacrifice: Subverted thrice.

* CombatPragmatist: To quote the Sergeant: Monster likes to shoot twice! For her warning shots, anyway. Also,[[spoiler: turning an entire hive (the structure) into flash paper to basically nuke the entire hive (of changelings).]]

** [[spoiler: Rather than kill Luna or let the Elements drain the CMC dry of their energy to purge the Nightmare, Twilight shoves them away and provides all the power by herself. Except she is NotQuiteDead, along with Luna, existing still as a shapeless being in a new temporary universe created by Twilight. They both manage to escape thanks to the intervention of a helpful spirit and Trixie powered by the Element of Magic.]]

* [[spoile:FountainOfYouth: Twilight gets hit with this at the end, most likely thanks to the Elements of Harmony, as she is also cured of her physical disfigurations and brain damage.]]

->A pure sledgehammer of energy smashed Celestia to the ground as the bubble of magic around Twilight burst. Half-molten stones from the tower exploded away into the distance, the roof canted sideways until a thread of pure light lanced down from above, vaporizing the remaining tiles and enveloping Twilight Sparkle in a ball of solar plasma that began to grow.

->’’’Celestia’’’: She’s tapping the sun! What have I created?

The entrance exam for Princess Celestia’s School for Gifted Unicorns turns tragic when the young Twilight Sparkle experiences a disastrous magical surge, culminating in a runaway spell that nearly destroys Canterlot. To save the city, Celestia teleports the mortally-wounded young unicorn into the Everfree Forest, where [[spoiler: she is rescued and raised by Zecora, who has been sent from Zebrica to stop Nightmare Moon when she returns.]]

A retelling of the first two episodes of the first season, where a desperate Princess Celestia is forced to take a great gamble in order to bring her sister, Luna back from the grip of Nightmare Moon. Where a feral Twilight Sparkle roams the Everfree Forest in mortal terror of her past, and a power that defies control. Where Princess Cadence and Queen Chrysalis clash, and only one will walk away. New heroes rise to take up the Elements of Harmony in an epic final clash inside the decaying Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters.

* BrokenBird: Twilight has both mental and physical damage from the failed exam, making her terrified of everypony and not in control of her resulting power. She calls herself Monster now.
** Little MissBaddass: Don’t back Monster into a corner. Just. Don’t.

* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: The Changeling Queen, who gets a StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred moment when gloating to Monster. Bad idea.
** FaceDeathWithDignity: The Queen. Of course, she has a plan involving a SelfSacrificeScheme
** MadeOfIron: Not quite enough to survive the destruction of her hive. But close.

** ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill: When Monster turns her entire hive into [[spoiler: Nitrocellulose. Then ignites it. While inside. And surviving.]]
** ThePowerOfLove: Monster shows she can tap the hive’s own power supply.

* StrikeMeDownWithAllOfYourHatred: Used by the Changeling Queen against Monster, and by Nightmare against Luna, Celestia, ‘’and’’ Monster. Mixed results.

** NiceJobFixingItVillain: Nightmare can’t take over Monster until her old body is destroyed, so she decides to [[spoiler: lead Monster to the Elements of Harmony, thinking that Monster will be unable to use them correctly and vaporize Luna. She’s wrong.]]
