spoiler Could time travel be a plot-point in the season final?

[LordDiscord 289]

                                         (WARNING SPOILERS AHEAD)

 

 

Many of you may have seen this little animatic {https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_Hv5lwNvkQ} from Comic-Con which revealed the return of Starlight Glimmer while also having Twilight talk about the events that brought herself and her friends together as well as earned them their Cutie-Marks. I believe Starlight Glimmer will try to trick Twilight into believing she has changed and will use this as a plot point to get to some spell that will take her back to the moment Rainbow Dash was about to perform the Sonic Rainboom and stop her from performing it thus creating a alternate future where Twilight never meets her friends, the Elements of Harmony are never found and reactivated, Luna is never freed from the curse of NightMare Moon, Discord is never returned to stone or reformed, King Sombra is never destroyed and no one is the to stop Chrysalis and her Changelings from invading and overthrowing Canterlot.

 

I believe if this does happen then Starlight should win as it could be a very important lesson she needs to learn about trying to change others destinies as she comes to realize the gravity of what she did and actively tries to fix it, showing she learnt her lesson  and has solidified  her reformation.

Most likely it will be as it is the very thing of how our Mane 6 got thier cutiemarks via sonic-rainboom, erase that, no Mane 6 hope in the end.

[TheMarkz0ne 962]

I really didn't want to see that. I didn't expect something so MAJOR to be spoiled. I am really not thrilled for the other half of season 5, regardless of it most likely being awesome. 

[Castle Bleck 19,455]

Next thing you know, she'll use parts of her magic/soul/etc. to possess the other villains, bring them to the present/future, and use them as her army in an artificial Battle Of Armageddon...

[Blake of Gilead 140]

Yes.

Spoilers for the season 5 finale point out that time travel will be used.

WOO!

 

HOORAY FOR TIME TRAVEL.

 

...Sucks there won't be any DeLoreans, though.

[MAIKUN 262]

OK what I really meant to say is: Will Season 5 end with a cliffhanger at the end of the 2-parter finale causing Twilight to fix everything that Starlight caused in the first place?

This is starting to remind of X Men Days of Future Past though not as grim of course. I am really looking forward to this.

Given that this plot idea of mine is based on what we've learned from the allegedly leaked synopsis of the finale, it's going to be listed as a spoiler for anyone who doesn't wish to see it.

 

 

So my thought on how it will go down is we'll get a short little intro scene explaining that Twilight is going to give a lecture on friendship and cutie marks at some big meeting as is nervous, while Spike comforts her and Starlight Glimmer looks on scheming.  We then get the speech and the Starlight spotlight as Twilight comes home.  Twilight tries to reason with Starlight, but Starlight's having none of it and explains that she found the magic DeLoran/TARDIS McGuffin in the cave when she fled to after the Cutie Map and wants revenge on Twilight and will do so by  changing her history.  After she activates the device all three of them, Twilight, Starlight and Spike, fine themselves in the past before the Sonic Rainboom.  Starlight runs off and Twilight pursue, losing her.  Twilight realizes what Starlight's going to do and try to prevent her, but at the same time making sure not to alter the timeline (yet doing so in subtle ways) However, when Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom comes up, Twilight fines that she can't stop Starlight and the Rainboom is not preformed. Now that the timeline has been altered, Twilight fines herself back in a new present, where she is no longer a unicorn, has a different cutie mark, she never meet any of the Mane 6 and Sunset Shimmer is a princess and Twilight's her assistant, ending part 1.

Part 2 opens with Twilight figuring out what's going on. Equestria is worse for wear in this universe but not a dystopia or terrible, just that things didn't go as smoothly as it did with Twilight and the Mane 6.  Sunset Shimmer, being more selfish than her EQG2 persona but more understanding than her EQG 1 self, tries to figure out what's going on with her assistant   Twilight explains the regular universe and how things are suppose to be, with Sunset scoffing her, until she sees a massive equalist army approaching, lead by Starlight, who also remembers the original universe. Sunset and her own Mane 6 try to battle them, but Starlight somehow possesses Twilight's original cutie mark and owns them. Twilight and Sunset are able to make their escape and realize that they need to get back the Mane 6 to try to defeat Starlight.  The two soon come across the remaining Mane 6, all in miserable positions in life and relatively friendless. Twilight tries to explain how they were all good friends and how things use to be, but the others are too cynical from their own experiences to believe her. Starlight then fines the Mane 6 and Sunset, wanting to erase them from her perfect utopia. Sunset battles her, giving the Mane 6 time to retreat to the Tree of Harmony and a chance to fix the universe, scarifying her existence in this universe, knowing what will happen to her in the universe proper.  Twilight tries in vain once more to get her friends to see how good of friends they can be, but has no proof.  However, someone claims that he has the proof Twilight was looking for.  An adult Spike enters, as since he had no body to go back to when the timeline was altered, he carried on as an anomaly inside the new universe.  He brings forth the backpack fill with all the stuff Twilight used in her presentation earlier, which contains something for everyone of the Mane 6.  These artifacts of their friendship remind them of what they were as Starlight appears. Spike does battle with her as Starlight wishes everyone would just get out of her way with Spike saying that so long as his friends are in trouble, he'll never give up.  This being the final push, the Mane 6 gain the "Cutie Mark Magic TM" and use the rainbow it creates to restore their cutie marks, reset the timeline and return things to normal.  The Mane 6 overlook a defeated Starlight, who finally break, asking why ponies just could accept her way of thinking, Twilight proclaiming friendship isn't about just blind obedience, that the friendship you make is equal to the friendship you take, that part of them is inside of you and you a part of them. Cue uplifting song and credits.

Great plot you have there! But what happened to Spike and everypony at the end?

The original time line is restored and everyone returns to normal, so Spike's a kid again, Twilight an Alicorn,and everyone has their cutie marks and memories back.

Wait, who is everypony get their cutie marks and memories back?

[Sidral Mundet 1,666]

The Mane 6, since they were the only ones affected by the Sonic Rainboom not going off, at least cutie mark wise. Everyone in Equestria would get their memories of the original timeline restored

Just letting you know I added the spoiler tag to the title so that others could have advanced warning. In the future please remember to used them for any potential spoilers.

 

Thanks.

[UnknownFry 169]

Even without the leaked episode synopses, I would still say the season finale pointed towards time travel in order to prevent the Sonic Rainboom from occurring.

Oh sorry, I honestly thought I wasn't being to spoiler-ly with the title. :/

I think more than likely this will be the plot point of the season finale, I actually read this user's whole take on the time travel point for the season finale and it's quite interesting. Here it is if anyone wants to read it:

I really love your plot, but if the solutions is in the Tree-Castle? There is the old tree library and a lot of gems with the mane 6 memory inside, maybe this things are not affected from time variations, and maybe even Discord he is the spirit of chaos and play with the physics rules (time is also one of them). in past Discord had perceived the power transfer between princesses and Twilight, he is able to open dimensional passages, and maybe if there is a time line change him can perceived who something is wrong. Maybe Twilight can be helped by the two reformed villains in the show.

Yeah the tree makes a lot more sense actually. I was partially basing my idea around the animated shown at SDCC where Spike was present with a briefcase and backpack full of Twilight's lecture notes and it set off a Checkov's Gun moment in my head as well as give Spike something to do in the episodes (He needs a role in the two-parters).  I doubt Discord will be in this episode for crowding reasons more than anything else, but it would be a cool idea.
