Legend of Everfree (TV special)

"Legend of Everfree" is the tenth TV special produced for the Enchatria Girls cartoon series. The TV special ties into the Legend of Everfree line.
==Story==
The film opens with Wendy Wonders squirming in bed as she has a bad dream. She is awakened by the arrival of her Enchatria High School friends, who tell her that the bus for Camp Everfree is leaving soon. As Wendy hurries out of bed to pack her bags, her evil alter ego Midnight Sparkle suddenly appears in the middle of the room. She disintegrates Wendy's friends and bedroom and gloats that she will always be a part of her.
As Wendy screams in horror, her dog Wallie wakes her up, the whole experience having only been a nightmare. Wendy and her classmates are already on the bus to Camp Everfree. Abby Snowglode and Zee Kazaam asks if she's okay, but Wendy assures with a weak smile that she's fine. As Lori Creaser fantasizes about the fun they will have at camp, Principal Goodway and Vice Principal Humdinger express how proud they are of their students for raising enough money to fund their field trip. Having fond childhood memories of Camp Everfree themselves, they hope that the students will make great memories of their own.
As the students cheer, Wendy stares uncertainly out the bus window.
Upon arriving at Camp Everfree, the students start to ponder about the various activities they look forward to, such as going on nature walks for Elsa McMorgan and chasing squirrels for Spike. Gina Miller and her friends also express how glad they are to be away from the magical going-ons at Canterlot High. As Jack Andrews and Keith Evans hands Wendy her bag, the two act awkwardly around each other, and Sunset explains it is because of her resemblance to Wendy Wonders of Enchatria, California, who Jack has a crush on.
Over the camp's P.A. system, a cheerful voice directs the campers to the courtyard. The voice belongs to the camp director and "friendly nature guide" Gloria Daisy, who introduces herself and her brother Thomas Spruce. The cheery Glora invitingly welcomes suggestions from the campers for activities to make their time at camp memorable. She states that their options are wide open, though Timber interrupts and says hiking near the rock quarry is off-limits. As Gloria takes activity suggestions, including a fashion show proposed by Judy von Puckett, Thomas appears to take a romantic interest in Wendy, causing her to blush.
When Principal Goodway mentions the traditional "camp gift", Goodway explains – after some brief tension with her brother – that every year, campers create a gift to leave behind for future campers and foster strong bonds of friendship. After Gloria and Timber hand out tent assignments to the campers, Timber Spruce briefly flirts with Wendy, earning her some playful teasing from her friends.
Just then, businessman William Rich arrives at the camp, prompting Gloria to turn him away. When William explains that he's "taking in the scenery", Gloria bitterly tells him to return when camp is over. After a brief stare-down between the two, Filthy leaves in his limo. Before the campers get suspicious, Gloria claims that William is a former camper who was just visiting.
A short while later, the campers put their belongings away in their assigned tents, and Judy starts to plan out her fashion show, much to Gina's chagrin. Meanwhile, Abby shares with Wendy her suspicions concerning Gloriosa Daisy – and teases her further about Thomas Spruce. When Zee brings up Wendy's behavior back on the class bus, Wallie reveals that Wendy has been having nightmares. However, Wendy insists that she has been much happier since transferring to Enchatria High, especially after the events of the Friendship Games. Abby and Zee assures Wendy that what happened during the Games was not her fault and that her friends have forgiven her.
Before heading to the camp docks, Abby and Zee looks for her sunscreen. Wendy finds it but inadvertently levitates it off the ground, along with several other objects in the tent. While Abby reacts to this magical phenomenon positively, Wendy fears that it's Lillian von Scheck's doing. After having Abby and Zee promise not to say anything about this to their friends, she hurries to the docks. Sunset tries to levitate the sunscreen bottle herself, but nothing happens.
As Abby and Zee goes to join the others at the docks, she bumps into Gloria Daisy. Her hand brushes against Gloria's arm, and she briefly hears what sounds like Gloria's angered voice, but Gloria insists she didn't say anything.
Once the campers have gathered at the docks, Gloria once again reminds everyone to ask her for anything they might need. When Wendy steps onto the dock, she trips when one of the wooden boards breaks, but Thomas Spruce catches her. As Timber continues to flirt with Wendy, Jack Andrews watches forlornly. He confides in Abby that he shouldn't be jealous because this Wendy isn't the Wendy he knows. Zee plainly tells him that Wendy's princess duties will keep her busy in Enchatria and that he should get over her.
Realizing the poor condition of the dock, Vice Principal Luna suggests closing it for the remainder of camp, much to the campers' disappointment. As Gloria tries to salvage things, Gina suggests building a new dock as the Wondercolts' camp gift. Everyone is on board with the idea, but Thomas is skeptical, leading to more quiet tension between him and Gloria. Nevertheless, the campers all agree to help build a new dock, and Wendy and her friends share their ideas to make it a reality. Judy, in particular, hopes to use the finished dock as the runway in her fashion show.
As the sun starts to set and Wendy and Thomas grow closer, Principal Goodway and Gloria tell everyone to clean up and gather by the fire pit for s'mores and scary stories.
Later that evening, the campers gather around a campfire, and Thomas Spruce tells the legend of a spirit called Gaea Everfree. Many years ago, Timber and Gloria's great-grandparents came to the forest and, taken by its beauty, decided to establish a camp. When they started building, however, magical vines began to grow everywhere, and a tree crashed on top of their cabin in the middle of the night. As they ran outside, they encountered a giant creature with root-like hair, teeth made of jagged rock, black eyes, and a shimmering aura that left a trail of gem dust in her wake.
The creature introduced herself as Gaea Everfree, an ancient spirit who held domain over the forest, and that Thomas' great-grandparents had trespassed upon her land. They begged Gaea Everfree to let them stay and build their camp. Gaea agreed but warned that it would only be temporary; one day she would return to reclaim the forest, and they will know she is near by her trail of gem dust.
At that moment, Gloria Daisy emerges from the bushes, scaring the campers. When asked why she made such an entrance, Gloria nervously replies that she "took the scenic route" to enjoy the forest. With scary stories drawn to a close, Gina assures Elsa that the story isn't real, but Rachel Finster thinks that Gaea Everfree's presence in their world could be attributed to a similar reason as that of the Dazzlings'. As the Rainbooms discuss having to deal with another "power-crazed magical creature", a visibly upset Wendy excuses herself, and Abby tells her friends to be more sensitive about Wendy's feelings in regards to the Friendship Games.
That night, Wendy has another nightmare about Lillian von Scheck's imminent return. Her scream of terror wakes up Abby and Zee, who discovers Wendy magically levitating her and Wallie's beds. When Wendy realizes what she is doing, the magic stops, and the beds fall to the floor. Abby says that they need to talk about what's happening, but Wendy insists that they don't.
Later that morning, Timmy Plasience and Jimmy Stones are in a sailboat on the water, but there's no wind to carry their sail. As Abby and Wendy arrive to continue working on the new dock, Abby proposes that Wendy try and control her magic, but Wendy thinks she'll never be able to control it. Just then, Timmy and Jimmy's sailboat moves forward at high-speed and crashes into the dock, ruining the campers' hard work. According to Sandalwood, the boat moved on its own, and Judy discovers a trail of gem dust in the water, leading the campers to believe that Gaea Everfree is the cause.
As the campers attempt to salvage what they built, Wendy runs off into the forest alone, feeling guilty for destroying the dock. In a waterfall clearing, she sings an emotional ballad about her struggle to keep the darkness inside her from getting out.
Some time later, Abby and Zee looks for Wendy after she disappeared from the dock. She wakes up Wallie from his slumber and asks if he knows where Wendy is, and Wallie offers to help track her down. Meanwhile, back in the forest, Wendy bumps into Thomas Spruce. She pretends to have gotten lost while going for a walk, and Thomas guides her back to camp. Thomas tells Wendy that he has lived at the camp his whole life and wants to sell it to go live in a normal town. Having never told this to anyone before, Thomas says Wendy must be special, and the two of them blush.
Overhearing Wendy and Thomas' conversation, Abby and Zee decides to talk to Wendy about her magic at a later time.
Back at camp, Judy prepares to partake in rock-climbing, with Gina as her spotter. When Wendy and Thomas return, the increasingly impatient Rachel asks Wendy to be her spotter so she can join in. As she leaves to get another rock-climbing harness and Thomas leaves to assist Gloria, Abby, Zee and Wallie arrive just as the earth starts to tremble. Andy Tuffkowski, Jack Andrews, and Timmy Plasience notice another trail of gem dust. Distracted by the sudden tremor, Judy loses her grip on the rock-climbing wall and demands to come down. As Gina tries to loosen a snag in the harness line, her hands start to glow, and she pulls on the line so hard that Judy shoots upward. Gina catches her before she hits the ground, explaining that for a brief moment, Judy felt inexplicably weightless.
Gina offers to help Judy remove her harness, but Judy refuses and accidentally creates a large diamond shield that pushes Gina backward into the water. Judy apologizes profusely, confused over what happened. Sunset is excited that more of her friends are developing new magic, but Twilight is still distressed. After informing Gloria about Gina falling into the water, they hear Elsa screaming in the camp cafeteria. There, they find the cafeteria covered in dough and sprinkles. Lori explains that, while they were decorating cookies, the sprinkles in Pinkie's hands would glow pink and explode.
Elsadecides to clean up the mess. When she is unable to reach paper towels on top of a shelf, she asks for help. A bird suddenly flies in and fetches the paper towels for Elsa, and Elsa discovers she is able to communicate with the bird. Gina and Judy enter to explain what happened at the rock-climbing wall, and Gina wonders where Rachel is. Just then, Rachel zooms in at supersonic speed and crashes into a wall. She explains she had gone to get a harness, but she ran so fast that she found herself all the way back in town. She also says that she lost her super-speed while so far away, but it returned to her when she got close to camp.
As Abby and Zee wonders what is causing this magical disturbance, Elsa suggests it's the work of Gaea Everfree. At that moment, Gloria enters with towels and dry clothes for Gina. When she asks what happened to the cafeteria, Abby gives a vague answer, but Gloria tells them not to worry about it, once again assuring the campers that she has a handle on things. However, Jimmy and Timmy enter with additional camp problems, and Thomas arrives to inform Gloria that William Rich has returned. Again, Gloria says she can handle it, but when she puts her hand on Abby and Zee's arm, Zee hears a scream of frustration. She believes it to have come from Elsa, but no one else heard anything.
Before Zee can figure out what she heard, Principal Goodway uses the camp's P.A. system to announce the lighting of paper lanterns, and the girls decide to forget about their new magic for the time being.
As the campers construct paper lanterns at the picnic tables by the dock, Wendy sits off by herself because she believes Lillian Von Scheck is the cause of her and her friends' new magic. When the time comes to release the lanterns, Wendy bumps into Thomas Spruce again, and he senses her odd behavior. Wendy tells him she's fine, and she indeed feels a little better when her own lantern is lit.
Later that night, after the campers have gone to sleep, Abby awakens to find Wendy's bed empty and her belongings gone. Outside the tent, she sees Wendy and Wallie leaving and follows after them. When Sunset catches up with them in the forest, Wendy explains that she and Wallie are going to catch a cab ride home. As she tries to convince Wendy not to leave, Zee touches her arm, causing her to experience a vision of Wendy's memories and emotions. Sensing Wendy's uncertainties about Lillian Von Scheck, Abby and Zee assures her that Lillian Von Scheck is gone.
With this, Abby realizes that her own magic has changed as well; she can read others' thoughts, memories, and feelings through physical contact. Unfortunately, this only distresses Wendy further, as she believes more and more people are becoming "infected" by her magic. Despite Abby's assertions that she knows what Wendy is going through, Wendy is still uncomfortable being around her friends.
Just then, Thomas Spruce appears before the two holding a sharp axe. He claims to have been chopping firewood for the following evening's campfire and expresses his growing frustration with his sister's demands. When asked why they were in the woods in the middle of the night, Abby and Zee pretends to have been sleepwalking and being found by Wendy. As Timber escorts Wendy, Zee and Abby back to camp, offering to "protect" them from Gaea Everfree, Sunset discovers gem dust falling out of Thomas' pocket.
The next morning, the campers continue working on the new dock. Gina and her friends are being extra careful not to activate their new magic powers, causing their progress to be slow. With the girls unable to control their developing abilities, Sunset Shimmer arrives and tells them they should accept their new magic and not reject it. Through an uplifting song, Sunset teaches her friends to embrace their abilities in order to have better control over them.
With Zee's guidance, the girls are able to use their magic to speed up and finish the dock's construction. Reinvigorated, Judy wants to do an immediate run-through of the fashion show. Abby tells them to start without her so she can find Wendy, hoping to convince her to embrace her own magic. Along her way to find Wendy, Abby and Zee hears Gloria Daisy and Thomas Spruce arguing in the boathouse; in particular, she hears Thomas tell Gloria that she has to "let it go", believing he's referring to selling Camp Everfree.
Gloria storms out of the boathouse, with Thomas following shortly after. As Abby and Zee sneaks away before she gets caught, she bumps into Jack Andrews, and he thanks her for convincing him to get over Wendy Wonders. Noticing Zee's shifty behavior, Jack asks her what's going on, and she lets him know – as vaguely as possible – that Thomas Spruce is not what he seems and she fears revealing his true nature would break Wendy's heart. Though he is unaware of the full situation, Jack says Wendy is lucky to have a friend like Abby and Zee looking out for her. Jack also expresses how much nicer Zee and Abby has become since she first arrived and asks her if they could start over as friends. Abby and Zee, noticing Thomas Spruce go into the forest, quickly agrees to Jack's suggestion before running off.
As Abby and Zee follows Thomas through the forest, she briefly feels the earth tremble again. Nearby, she sees a shadowy figure enter a cave by the supposedly off-limits rock quarry. She also sees something glowing inside the cave. Convinced that Thomas Spruce is up to something, Zee sends Wendy a text message saying to meet her by the quarry. When she and Wallie arrive, Sunset explains to them that she believes someone is hiding sinister activities behind the guise of a ghost story.
Wendy, Zee, Abby, and Wallie enter the cave, where they discover a massive crystal spire emanating with Equestrian magic. Wallie mentions Thomas Spruce, and Wendy wonders what he has to do with anything. Suddenly, someone emerges from the shadows – not Thomas, as Abby and Zee expected, but Gloria Daisy. She accuses Gloria of trying to scare everyone away from Camp Everfree, but Gloria says she would never do such a thing. As Gloria walks past Abby, Abby grabs her arm, activating her new magic and allowing her to view Gloria's memories.
Gloria had fallen behind on her payments to William Rich, which meant William would own the land that Camp Everfree is built upon, and he intended to tear the camp down to build a spa resort. Desperate to keep the camp that her great-grandparents founded, Gloria begged William for more time to pay, and William gave her until the end of the month. Some time later, as she tearfully wondered what to do, Gloria noticed a trail of gem dust leading to the cave, where she discovered seven colored geodes embedded in the crystal spire.
Extracting five of the geodes granted Gloria magical plant-controlling powers. Thomas Spruce tried to warn Gloria against using the geodes' power, but Gloria refused to listen out of her desire to save Camp Everfree. Unfortunately, she had not mastered her powers completely, having caused Timmy and Jimmy's boat to crash into the pier and the tremors. This caused even further arguments between Gloria and Thomas, who made up the Gaea Everfree legend to cover for her actions.
Abby's visions stop there, and she realizes when Thomas told Gloria to "let it go", he was referring to the geodes' magic. Abby and Wendy try to convince Gloria to stop using the magic of the geodes before it becomes too much for her to control. Gloria refuses, however, still determined to save her camp. She extracts the last two geodes from the crystal spire and uses her increased power to ensnare Wendy, Zee, Abby, and Wallie in vines. The geodes then merge with the ones Gloria already has, causing her to transform into a green-haired plant-controlling she-demon. With her magic powers, Gloria traps the three inside the cave.
Back at the camp docks, Judy is in the middle of her fashion show dress rehearsal when the transformed Gloria Daisy appears, to the campers' shock and horror. Determined to keep Camp Everfree out of William Rich's clutches, Gloria uses her immense magical power to enclose the entire campground in a giant cage of brambles. Once again, the campers' new dock is destroyed.
Gloria vows to keep Camp Everfree open and protect everyone and everything within its walls, oblivious to the fear that she is instilling into her campers. Thomas tries to free the entrapped campers by cutting through Gloria's brambles with his axe, but every vine he cuts through simply grows back denser than before. Before long, Camp Everfree is made into a sea of brambles.
In the sailboat nearby, the Rainbooms wonder what they are going to do, and Rachel suggests doing what they always do: save the day. Jumping into action, Judy saves Penelope and Melody from a falling totem pole, Rachel carries the campers to safety, and Elsa, Gina, and Lori use their animal communication, super strength, and explosion powers to make openings leading outside the bramble cage. As they do so, they "power up", sprouting power ears and wings. However, Gloria Daisy seals the openings back up before they can get through, and she traps campers faster than Rachel can save them.
Meanwhile, Wallie frees himself, Wendy, Zee, and Abby from Gloria's vines with his teeth, but they are unable to move the boulder blocking the cave entrance. Abby and Zee again tries to convince Wendy to use her magic, and after some reluctance, she uses a small amount of her magic to move the boulder. Now freed from the cave, Zee, Abby, Wendy, and Wallie race back to the campgrounds. Inside the bramble cage, Gloria asks why the Rainbooms are fighting her when she's trying to save the camp. Judy says that while she loves Camp Everfree, she isn't ready to give up her weekly trips to the spa. Hearing Judy mention the spa sends Gloria over the edge, and her power continues to grow. Even the pleas of her brother Thomas fall on deaf ears as she traps him in brambles as well.
Outside the caged camp, Abby and Zee is unable to penetrate the wall of brambles and tells Wendy to use her magic again. Wendy is afraid of using too much magic and letting Lillian Von Scheck take over, but Abby and Zee convinces her to do so for the sake of her friends. Using her magic, Wendy splits the brambles apart for her, Zee, Abby, and Wallie to enter.
As Gloria enters the final phase of immortalizing herself and Camp Everfree in an enclosure of brambles, Thomas once again tries to reach her, but Zee and Abby says she is no longer Gloria—just a mindless creature consumed by Equestrian magic. Gloria and Thomas become completely encased in vines, and even more vines sprout from the ground. The Rainbooms and Wallie protect themselves from the vines inside Judy's diamond shield, but she is unable to hold it for long. Abby and Zee tells Wendy she can destroy the brambles by unleashing the full extent of her magic, but Wendy is still afraid of letting Lillian Von Scheck take control. Abby and Zee assures her that she and the rest of their friends won't let that happen.
Inside Wendy's mind, she continues to be haunted by Lillian Von Scheck, but her friends appear to lend their trust and support. With a declaration of "I am Wendy Wonders!", Wendy conquers her fears and embraces the Magic of Friendship within her, and she humans up as well. Breaking free of Gloria's brambles, Wendy tears away the vines keeping Gloria enclosed and seizes her geodes. Each of the seven geodes goes to Wendy and one of her friends, granting them all-new magical forms. With their new magic, the girls blast the brambles away in an explosion of light.
Thomas Spruce and the campers are freed from captivity, and Gloria Daisy returns to normal. As Thomas hugs his sister, the campers cheer for the Enchatria Girls, and the girls discover that the geodes have formed into necklaces. Some time later, the campers work together to fix the damage Gloria caused, and Gloria apologizes to Goodway and Humdinger for being so misguided in her efforts to save Camp Everfree. She considers going through with selling the camp to William Rich, but Goodway vehemently disagrees.
Because of what Camp Everfree means to both its past and present campers, Wendy, Zee, and Abby propose reaching out to them to help save it. They and their friends suggest holding a "Crystal Ball" fundraiser in the cave to raise money and save the camp from being sold. While Gloria Daisy appreciates the girls' enthusiasm, she is unsure how they are going to plan such a ball in one day. But the Enchatria Girls assure her...
Over the course of the next day, the Everfree campers decorate the inside of the crystal cave and put together their fundraiser to save the camp, sending invitations to everyone in the town nearby. Interspersed throughout are shots of the Rainbooms – with Twilight providing vocals – performing the song Legend You Were Meant To Be at the Ball, and photographs of the girls having fun together at camp.
Thanks to the campers' efforts, Camp Everfree is saved, and Filthy Rich walks off defeated. Gloria Daisy thanks the Rainbooms for everything they've done and regrets not having simply asked for help in the first place.
A short while later, Thomas approaches Wendy and brags about saving the campers from the brambles. Wendy points out that she saved them, but Thomas playfully argues that she wouldn't have saved them if he didn't save her from falling on the docks. When Wendy says she's glad to have met Thomas, he misinterprets it as her saying goodbye, but she accepts his invitation to go out on a date. Just before the two share a kiss, Gloria interrupts to introduce Thomas to some donors who were friends with their parents.
Thomas asks Wendy to save him a dance, and Wendy's friends tease her even more. As the girls wonder about their new magic powers, Abby and Zee believes they are tied directly to their crystal necklaces and that they were somehow meant to possess them. Later on, Abby confesses to still wondering about one thing: where the magic of the geodes came from. Meanwhile, back at Enchatria High School, the stone block where the EHS Wondercolts statue once stood has a crack in the top, and magic from Enchatria, California leaks through...
Post credits scene, the Enchatria Girls finish rebuilding the new Camp Everfree dock once more. Lori wants to celebrate the dock's completion, but she accidentally causes the confetti and marshmallows she throws onto the dock to explode, destroying it all over again. The girls stare in complete disbelief, and Judy faints.
