In the Friendship Games how did they use the Elements of Harmony?

[Side Bird 566]

Usually I over think things in the MLP universe but don't really call on them, but in the new movie this one just got to me. 

 

Now, in the new Equestria Girls when Twilight becomes the demon, Sunset Shimmer gives the mane si- the five their magic back. Now, when she does that, she's using the power of friendship, or the Elements of Harmony, as they did countless times, to defeat their enemies. In this case, the demon Twilight. But in this there is only one element of magic, and that would be Twilight. The twilight from the other school. As the other Twilight is in Equestria.

 

The other Twilight is in Equestria, so there's no way to get her element of magic. In the first movie they used all of their powers to defeat Sunset Shimmer. Laughter, Generosity, Kindness, Loyalty, Magic, Honesty. But in the new movie, they only had five of the six. Meaning they couldn't have used the powers to transform Sunset and have her defeat Twilight. So, they could never have used the powers to defeat the demon Twilight, as Sunset is not an element. There are only six elements, and if there were seven, which there most likely aren't, they still only have six out of seven needed.

 

 

 

However, in the scene where the demon Twilight is making rips in the world to see Equestria, we see Rainbow Dash and Twilight flying. AND, when Sunset is feeding the magic into the thingy that EG Twilight had made, there is a purple strand. This signifies the Element of Magic, the one they are missing. This is either Twilight somehow giving her magic through the rip to Sunset, so the ponies had noticed it, or simply an error. Or they were just stealing magic from the demon Twilight without her knowing. Or was there friendship just so powerful that they had enough magic from it? I mean, if that's the case, then wouldn't that mean ANY pony in Equestria with a close friend could harness the power of friendship, the most powerful thing they have?

 

Or maybe I'm just over thinking things. Thoughts?

I'm a little confuzzled on what exactly you are asking. If you mean how did they get the element of magic, thats easy. Sunset Shimmer was the element of magic. She finally fulfilled what Celestia wanted her to all those years ago, and used it to literally save the world.

 

I need to digest that myself for a second...

I'm asking how they got the element of magic. Twilight is the element of magic, I just don't get how Sunset could swoop in and use her power. That could mean there are other ponies for each element. She used the crown for the first one, but in this one she doesn't have it.

 

Again, during the movie there was a purple tendril, which is Twilight. But there was no Twilight.

The purple was just a combination of the elements of harmony to create the "element of magic". Sunset Shimmer is absolutely the element of magic in the human world. Why else would they have those two glowing lights over the hill at the end? It's to signify they are in different worlds, but represent the same thing.

I can see how she is in the human world, just don't know how there she is. In the Equestria Girls world, the human counter parts to the mane six all have their element of harmony. The Equestria Girls Twilight would therefore be the Element of Magic, making there now two Elements of Magic. I just think they would cross eachother out, is all.

Sunset Shimmer basically is the pony Twilight from Equestria, she represents what Twilight is in Equestria in the human world.
