Opaline watched everything from the mirror pool with a small smirk.

She had studied the witches' actions, their powers, and their motives...

...and found them all stupid and useless.

But that was no matter to her. She could use what the witches didn't know and turn it into her advantage. “Soon, the source of the ponies' powers will be mine... and I shall be able to do things as I please!”

She trotted over to a nearby mirror, forming a fireball on her hoof and smirking at her reflection. “Mmm-hmm... power looks so good on you, Opaline,” she chuckled to herself. “Those ponies don't stand a chance. Whatever adventures they go next will be their last! AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!”

Opaline's cackle resonated far into Maretime Bay, and while the Unity Crystals were only objects, they seemed to sense that magic was in danger...

...and only Sunny Starscout, Izzy Moonbow, Pipp Petals, Hitch Trailblazer, Zipp Storm and their newest member, Misty Brightdawn could stop it.
