The Final Battle!

A brave trio of heroes stormed the Castle of Doom, cutting through the minions of the Dark Lord. Thunder roared, the wind howled. Nothing would stand in their way now to save the land from eternal darkness!

The Barbarian's rage tore through the goblins, hobgoblins, orcs, and ogres like they were nothing.

The Wizard/Winter Witch slew the evil overlord's pet red dragon single hoofedly! A raging storm of fire and ice it was, tearing the great hall of the castle itself to pieces! The Paladin/Celestial Knight blocked for her friend the barbarian as the opposing elements clashed!

"This way! The dark lord and her minions await us! This ends now!" The Celestial Knight boomed and led her two companions forward up the straight, the barbarian smashing a gargoyles to pieces as the Celestial Knight cleaved another one in two. The winter witch frozen another solid mid-air and it fell to the floor below shattering.

"Nothin' can stop us noooow!" The barbarian swore.

The Celestial Knight kicked down the door. "Dark Lord! Surrender of be destroyed!"

"HA! Like you could ever defeat me or my minions!" Said the dark lord atop her throne, her violet mane draped over one side. "DEFEND YOUR QUEEN!"

"Let's hit evil stuff with pointy stuff!" The barbarian snapped.

"That's called 'smite,'" The wizard said.

"What are ya a dictionary?!"

"Ya'll be my new zombie minions when Ah'm done!" Said the Necromancer, throwing potions at the heroes resulting in massive explosions, knocking away the barbarian.

"Now if I turn you into my werewolf pack mates first!" Said the werewolf, howling, and leaping at the winter witch who had to back pedal to avoid being bitten.

The Dark Lord meanwhile descended her throne, and created a sword of blood, and slammed down upon the Celestial Knight, sending splinters of stone flying. "You shall never win!"

"Good will triumph over evil!" The knight retorted with word and blade.

The Barbarian slammed into the werewolf, knocking off balance. While the winter witch froze the necromancer's potions to her hooves as she tries to throw them, blowing herself up.

The Celestial Knight threw her sword, which the dark lord dodged, but the werewolf did not, impaling the beast, it wasn't silver, but the might of the impact overcame the werewolf's damage resistance, pinning it to one of the skull faced stone pillars.

"HA! Now you are defenseless!" The Dark Lord said, but was blocked by the barbarian's giant axe.

"No! Because unlike you, my friends fear for me, they do not fear of me!" The Knight shouted and shield bashed the dark lord, who was then blasted by the Winter Witch's custom ice ball spell, the knight again blocking the spell for the barbarian. And the Knight used her paladin healing to heal her friends as they whittled away at the Dark Lord's health until finally she fell, her crown fall from her head dramatically, the villain stumbled backwards until she fell backwards over her own tower to the spike pits below. Providing irony and allow the heroes not to kill the main villain even if they'd just put down her minions without a second thought (the werewolf was still pinned but they weren't important anymore).

"WE DID IT! WE SAVED THE LAND OF EQUEST!" The Knight raised her sword.

"WE'RE HEROES!" The wizard raised her wand.

"WE KICKED FLANK!" The barbarian raised her axe.

Sweetie Belle got up, dusting off the black cape and red plastic sword she'd rented for the LARP. "Thanks for letting me borrow your tiara for this Diamond." Sweetie Belle said picking it up and hoofing it back to her.

"You're welcome." Diamond Tiara said.

"And you only have to do the Diamond Dog Dance twice as payment!" Silver Spoon giggled, adjusting the oversized pointed hat.

"I'll admit, I didn't think playing with you two again was gonna be fun... but you proved me wrong... " Babs admitted, covered in fake animal skins.

"We really did have fun when we weren't... causing trouble, didn't we?" Diamond Tiara said.

"Yea... I guess we did..." Babs admitted.

"Can you girls get me down now?" Scootaloo asked.

"Oh sorry!" Diamond Tiara replied, pulling the sword out of the cardboard 'pillar.' 'Freeing' Scootaloo, who had saved money by reusing her Nightmare Night costume.

"Ah'm just happy Applejack let us use the space around the club house for this 'live action' Ogres and Obluettes stuff." Apple Bloom said, wearing an old blanket and some face paint.

Diamond Tiara said, "We could have used my mansion's basement, and I could have ordered us much better costumes and props."

"Well, ya did let us play life size Manopoly in yer basement, and then ya ordered that custom Power Ponies' enchanted comic er all of us. It was about time ya got to feel what it was like to have fun at our place!" Apple Bloom smiled.

"Thank you! It's a new feelings for me either way, besides Silver Spoon, you were the first real guests I had over. Too bad I couldn't get Spike to play the part of the dragon, I'll be sure to bring over some gems next time I ask."

"I still think you should have let me use for today's game that 'make everything super real' spell book I found in Twilight Sparkle's library," Sweetie Belle said.

"Yeah, we know where that would've gone." Scootaloo said.

"You mean everything becoming real, and us forgetting it's just a game all happening in a pocket space. But Sweetie as the caster remembering, finding herself a real evil overlord, and only able to snap us out of it by giving me my tiara back?"

"... Yeah that," Scootaloo said.

Sweetie blushed.

"You gotta admit, that would've been fun!" Apple Bloom said.

"This was fun too!" Silver Spoon said.

"Yeah, sometimes imagination is the strongest magic out there!" Sweetie Belle said with a smile.

"Blech, how corny can you get?" Diamond Tiara said.

"Who cares?" Apple Bloom said, and the six foals hugged.
