With Megan captured, Danny takes the lead and suggests they find a way to destroy Grogar's magic. Forget-Me-Not remembers that the bell he wears around his neck glowed when he used his magic in Tambelon. Everyone decides that the bell is his power source and they can take it from him if they can make him leave the city. They manage to do this with the help of Danny's tape recorder and one of Masquerade's disguises, but Grogar is too strong for them and madanges to capture a few more ponies while the others run away. Megan and the prisoners try to find another way out, but there are no hidden passages in their new cell that lead to the city streets. They mention the bell again, which Paradise thinks could have been an important part of the legend of Tambelon but isn't quite sure of. Elsewhere, Danny and the others capture a Troggle who was deserting and wants to lead them to their friends before Grogar banishes them to the Realm of Mists that night. They decide to trust him and let him lead them into the city, but they are all ambushed by Grogar and Bray and sent to prison with the others.

Everybody's captured now, including the Moochick and the baby ponies, so Grogar starts the spell that will send Tambelon and the ponies into the Realm of Mists. He then orders the Troggles to celebrate the victory, threatening to banish them with the ponies if they don't. He also imprisons the Troggle who tried to help the ponies escape. The ponies now know he was telling the truth and agree to give him and his oppressed people a place to live in Ponyland if they escape. Forget-Me-Not finds a crack in the ceiling where there is fresh air coming through. Fizzy and Buttons manage to use their magic and some disgusting prison food to make the crack big enough to fly through. Megan, North Star, and Forget-Me-Not find Bray and take his keys so they can unlock the cell. The ponies run out into the streets during the celebration and tell the Troggles they can stop pretending and come with them to freedom. Bray tells Grogar that everyone is running away - with minutes to go before the banishing spell goes into effect, Grogar goes outside and pins them down with his magic. Something Spike says reminds Paradise that Grogar's power souce will be destroyed if the old bell in the passage is rung. Forget-Me-Not tricks Grogar into opening the gates just as Megan and North Star ring the bell. Everyone except Grogar and Bray makes it out of the city just before it vanishes. The next day the ponies discuss how Grogar won't be able to make a new bell for centuries without the help of the Troggles, who are now ready to live a life of freedom in Ponyland.
