We all know about the villain episodes, where Twilight and co. fight ponies like Chrysalis, Sombra, etc. But how should those episodes REALLY have ended?

The title is a reference to the Youtube channel How It Should Have Ended.

We all remember when Nightmare Moon smashed the Elements of Harmony and Twilight and co. took them and turned her good. We all remember when the changelings broke Shining Armor's shield and started raining from the sky. And most of us remember Twilight blocking a ray of energy from Starlight Glimmer to protect her friends.

But how should all of these episodes really have ended?

This is a part of Project Improv: a series of improvised pieces of writing sprouting from writing prompts given me via PM by my followers. It is PIECE #2 in the series. Pieces of writing in Project Improv are in no way, shape, or form interconnected with each other.

Special thanks to The Derpy Doctor for providing the prompt!

VS. Chrysalis: How "A Canterlot Wedding" Should Have Ended

*YOU ARE CADENCE

". . . And as you have so foolishly revealed yourself . . ." Celestia began as a shaft of light flew from her horn.

This is ridiculous! you think. This . . . this thing . . . has imprisoned and impersonated you, stole your Shining Armor and your special day, and is trying to take over your entire kingdom. Why are you backing off and letting Celestia deal with her?!

You don't know, but just thinking about it is only steaming you more.

". . . I can now protect my subjects - FROM YOU!" The yellow beam threw itself at Chrysalis. She, in response, fired her own green bolt from her horn. And the standoff began. The collision point began to waver - back and forth from Chrysalis to Celestia and back.

Chrysalis chuckles. "Shining Armor's love for you is more powerful than I thought. Your love has made me even more powerful than Celestia -"

She was cut off. You run to her and narrate yourself as you

"THROAT PUNCH, THROAT PUNCH, THROAT PUNCH, THROAT PUNCH -"

Everyone stares at you with looks on their faces like a turkey on Thanksgiving. You pay them no attention.

"THROAT PUNCH, THROAT PUNCH, THROAT PUNCH!!!" Chrysalis is now in a crippled heap on the ground.

VS. Tirek: How "Twilight's Kingdom" Should Have Ended

*YOU ARE TWILIGHT

"But there is one solution. It is only by making this sacrifice that Equestria and the lands beyond it might be saved." Celestia paused. "We must rid ourselves of our magic before Tirek has the chance to steal it from us." Epic dramatic music plays in the background.

You blink.

Luna notices. "What is it?" she asks.

You blink again. "I guess I'm just . . . a little confused," you try to explain. "When Tirek realizes your magic is gone, who knows what he'll do to you? And then he can just go on his merry way terrorizing Equestria. You'll have no power to stop him. So why are you wanting to give up your magic?"

Celestia opens her mouth for a possible response, and closes it. "That is . . . a good question."

Cadence ponders the thought. "I suppose we could have thought that through better . . ."

Luna stepped forward. "Well if that's not the solution . . . what is?"

You look at them quizzically like they should know this already. Which, really, they should. "He's looking alicorn magic, is he not? Simple. We set a trap."

"What kind of trap?" Cadence asks.

You smirk. "I know a guy . . ."

LATER

Tirek smashed through the door to the great hall. His crazed black eyes focused on the thrones a hundred yards in front of him. He marched arrogantly forward to claim his prize. The entire castle shuddered with each step he took. As he drew up to the three thrones, he glowered down at them. The alicorn magic was his.

Except . . . his prize was gone. No one was there.

"WHAT?!?!" he shouted. "YOU - YOU - YOU ALICORNS! I'LL FIND YOU, AND I'LL STEAL YOUR MAGIC, AND -" he was cut off. Something tiny was bumping into his hoof. Annoyed, he turned and picked up the thing with one hand. It was a robot.

"And what kind of sick joke is this?" he growled.

The robot made no reply. It simply beeped "exterminate, EXTERMINATE!"

And then Tirek exploded.

VS. Discord: How "Return of Harmony" Should Have Ended

*YOU ARE PINKIE PIE

You don't know what's really going on, but to be honest you kind of like it. Chocolate milk raining from the sky is a rare opportunity. When you're Pinkie Pie you kind of learn to take those opportunities. Apparently, your friend Twilight thinks this is a bad thing. So she decides to drag you along to get the Elements of Harmony.

At that point, you kind of got bored. You lost track of what was really going on. At least, until that funny looking dragon thing was dancing on Twilight's head. That was funny.

You giggle at the memory.

And now, here you are in front of this giant hedge maze
