The human Dazzlings
After the events of Part 1, the human Sunset reveals to the Rainbooms that she doesn't know where or who her parents are, and that she was left on the doorstep of an orphanage as a baby. The Rainbooms decide to welcome her into their group as a permanent member, and enroll her into Canterlot High. When Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna welcome the human Sunset, the Rainbooms celebrate, with Pinkie Pie proposing a special party for the human Sunset's acceptance into the school.

When they exit the building, they see the pony Sunset, who is about to tell the Rainbooms about her decision, but notices a harsh noise coming from her geode. The other Rainbooms notice this as well, and suddenly, they see human versions of the Dazzlings, who are much more cruel than their siren counterparts. The human Adagio reveals that she has tricked the school into siding against them, before arguing with the human Aria about this; the argument ends when the human Adagio threatens Aria. The human Sonata is excited, as she can go get tacos after the attack.

Rainbooms vs. human Dazzlings
Rainbow Dash pretends to shrug this news off, but notices that Trixie and Starlight Glimmer are carrying baseball bats. Trixie tells Dash that they're not off to play baseball, and reveals that the Rainbooms are surrounded by every student in Canterlot High, including Flash Sentry and even Derpy, all carrying pitchforks, torches or other weapons, with the intent of killing the entire group, starting with the human Sunset. The Rainbooms suddenly pony up with the magic from their geodes, and are about to defeat the Dazzlings, but are rendered helpless when the Dazzlings use their geodes to steal the Rainbooms' magic.

Just then, Princess Twilight enters the human world with her friends, who engage in a battle across the city of Canterlot. She also hands the Rainbooms some magic to help them defeat the human Dazzlings, and the battle continues as they all travel through different dimensions run by different animal species. The human Dazzlings end up being defeated when they end up being mortally wounded, and Princess Twilight, knowing the human Dazzlings won't give up, kills them with a large blast of magic from her hands.

A final goodbye
After defeating the human Dazzlings, the entire school forgives the Rainbooms and go home, while the human Sunset is taken to a hospital, and Princess Twilight and her friends return to the pony world. While packing her things, Sunset looks at her journal as flashbacks from prior Equestria Girls films, specials, and episodes are played, such as Sunset being offered forgiveness by Princess Twilight in the first film, going to a slumber party for the first time and singing during the Battle of the Bands in Rainbow Rocks, saving Twilight from her Midnight Sparkle alter-ego as Daydream Shimmer in Friendship Games, getting her geode in Legend of Everfree, and the Rainbooms accepting Sunset as a friend after her sacrifice in Forgotten Friendship. She writes to Princess Twilight that she's about to leave the human world forever. Princess Twilight warns Sunset that she can no longer write in the journal due to the magic dissipating, but can still read through it.

Sunset calls the Rainbooms together at Canterlot High and announces that she will leave the human world for the final time, and hopes that one day, she can return without dealing with the imbalance. She hugs the Rainbooms, before shaking hands with her human counterpart, and handing over her geode, and handing her personal journal and leather jacket to Twilight, making her the new leader of the group. Twilight assures Sunset that there's no way she'd forget, even at old age. She takes one last look at Canterlot High and her friends, before walking through the portal. After putting on Sunset's jacket, Twilight touches the side of the statue, which does nothing. Upon returning to the pony world, Sunset embraces Princess Twilight, and is welcomed into her group of friends while the Crystal Mirror is deactivated.

When Sunset begins sleeping in her room at the Castle of Friendship, she sees a vision of her human counterpart, using what little magic there still is on the human world, thanking her for making her a better person. She also tells the pony Sunset that the Rainbooms welcomed her into their group, and that she hopes to make friends in life as well, before thanking the pony Sunset for sacrificing her presence in the human world to save her, and telling her she forgives them for everything she went through because of that. The pony Sunset thanks her back, before the last Equestrian magic disappears forever, and goes back to sleep.

At the end, it's revealed that Twilight went aboard the roof of Canterlot High shortly after Sunset's departure, and recited the phrase "friendship is magic".

Quotes
''"That's right, and thanks to you and your stupid Equestrian magic, our lust for power has been impeded for too long. And now that you're planning to leave, you and your group are gonna be dead." - Adagio Dazzle (human) "Now, I know there's a human version of myself right there with you guys. But I've made my decision. I decided that I will remain in Equestria for good. I realized that, in all the time I've been here, I've been taking away someone's life, identity, and existence. It was my desire for power that led me here in the first place, and I've learned so much about friendship, all thanks to you guys, Princess Twilight, Princess Celestia, and Princess Luna. I just... I just hope I can somehow visit this world again without this imbalance happening. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Starlight Glimmer, and Spike, this isn't goodbye, just a farewell. First, Sunset. I hope you can find your place in the human world and have great friends and a great life. Here's your geode. And as for you, Twilight, you're the new leader of the gang. When I first met you in the Friendship Games, you were just like Princess Twilight before she met her friends. I was even a bit harsh on you when your device was capturing all that magic. But now that you've learned quite a lot since coming to Canterlot High, I feel that you've earned this. Here's my journal and jacket. While you can no longer write on the journal, you can always read through it to remember me by." - Sunset Shimmer "I'm certainly going to miss you, Sunset Shimmer." - Twilight Sparkle "Welcome back, Sunset. No matter what world you're in, you will always have friends by your side." - Princess Twilight Sparkle''
