Length: 2063

The villains team up to take Twilight down, once and for all. Too bad she's already experienced with this sort of thing.

Grogar has returned to take his rightful place as King once more, along with the other villains. No, he's not Discord. Also, Starlight was there.

However, Twilight gets informed by Discord and decides to make this the greatest explosion ever, even if it gets her the largest reconstruction bill she'll ever need to pay.

Set in "The Ending of the End, Part Two". Not to be taken seriously.

This is the final in the series. Thank you all for your continuous support!

The Final Chapter

“I’m back. Now, let’s see who I can gather to conquer Equestria once more…” An evil laugh filled the cave, as the shadow of a large ram was cast on the wall from the fire.

Twilight’s Final Salvo

By iAmSiNnEr

“Lord Tirek,” Chrysalis greeted once she regained her bearings. “How...nice to meet you.”

“What do you want from me?” Tirek snapped. “I assume you have a reason for summoning me.”

“I didn’t summon you,” Chrysalis sounded bored. “I appeared in this...rather forlorn cave, just like you. I’d like to meet whoever has the magic to teleport both of us here without our consent.”

“A centaur and a changeling,” a voice hissed from the shadows in one of the tunnels. “Just my luck. Just when I thought I was finally free from the bucking time stream, I was teleported to some kind of posse meeting.”

“Show yourself, dear,” Chrysalis examined her hoof. It was charred black, blacker than usual, a reminder of her greatest enemy. “I’d hate to kill someone that could be a potential ally.”

An indigo-maned unicorn stepped out of the shadows, her scowl evident. “Why have you teleported me here?” Starlight Glimmer demanded. “I was on the brink of my revenge against Twilight Sparkle!”

“How coincidental,” a deep voice drawled as shadows pooled to form a unicorn clad in silver armor. “I was on my way to do so, too.” Sombra grinned. “It looks like we have a common enemy.”

“Same here!” a high-pitched filly chipped in. “She sabotaged my spell and my grand plan!” Cozy Glow grinned. “Golly, what a coincidence!”

“Enemy, schmoosh,” Discord popped into existence. “Seriously, you thought I wouldn’t notice all of you escaping your prisons at the same time? What kinda team up is this?”

“Discord,” Tirek snarled, “You’ll pay for assisting Sparkle to defeat me!” He breathed in deeply, before his horns lit up. Discord shook his head.

“Not this time, two-horns,” Discord snapped his fingers, and a cage appeared around Tirek, causing him to bang his head against the bars, canceling his spell. “I learnt my lesson from the last time.”

“Are you insane?” Chrysalis hissed to Tirek. “He’s the Lord of Chaos! What makes you think you can take him on?!”

“I did it once, I’ll do it again,” Tirek growled. “I was suffering for a year and a half because of Sparkle! They threw my burnt and broken body in Tartarus, and I almost died! It was only because of Tartarus’s potent healing and the immortality it grants you while in there that kept me alive!”

“Did you say Sparkle?” Chrysalis’s face twisted into one of hatred. “Her death could not come sooner for me. Her spell made me writhe in pain in their dungeons for hours, my skin burning! Only the mercy,” she spat the word with disgust. “Of the Sun Princess saved my life!”

“Now, now,” Discord sounded disappointed. “Sparkle’s a dear friend of mine. Do you really think I’d let you team up and go after her?”

“We’re not teaming up,” Starlight snarled, her horn lighting up in a crescendo of power. “I was teleported here by force!”

Discord blinked. “I didn’t do that. I’m pretty sure that was only supposed to happen a year later when I enact my plan to-” he looked deep in thought as he trailed off. “Ah. I see.”

Tirek squeezed through the bars, his thin frame allowing him to do so. “Buck off, Discord,” he growled. “I may not be able to take you now, but I will do so when I have enough magic.”

"Gentlecolts and fillies," Discord smoothly said. "I'm sure you're all overreacting-" he yelped as a magic bolt flew over his head. "What was that for?!"

"Of course you'd say that," Chrysalis sneered. "You're buddies with Sparkle now!"

"You know," Discord grinned. "I could capture you all right now. But I won't. I want to see the expression on your faces when none of you can beat her, when you team up against her. I wish you good luck. You're gonna need it."

“What?” Discord protested as he saw all of them advance upon him with glares on their faces. All of their horns lit up at the same time, and he recognized the spell building on their horns. “I suppose I shouldn’t have mentioned Sparkle.”

They blew him up.

“Now,” Chrysalis glanced around the room. “To order. If none of you summoned us here, then who did?”

“I did,” a commanding voice answered as a blue-colored goat stepped out of the shadows and onto a ledge above them. His horns were impressively big, curled backward.

“You.” Tirek sounded awed as he looked upon the ram.

“Me,” The ram agreed. “I brought you all here so that we could conquer Equestria. Sparkle and her friends are a menace, Sparkle even more so. All of you have a common enemy,” an orb levitated out onto the table. “Twilight Sparkle.” The orb flashed as an image of the lavender alicorn laughing was cast onto it.

Tirek snarled at that image, and the rest all had looks of hatred on them.

“She trapped me in the bucking time stream!” Starlight yelled. “She blew up the damned spell, and also took everything away from me. My town, my life! I was stuck in the past for four years because of her!”

“She blew me up!” Chrysalis snarled. “I was on the brink of my victory! Then she bucking just blew me up and destroyed my plans! Now my army of changelings are do-gooders, reformed by her and her friends!”

“She set traps for me beside the Crystal Heart,” Sombra recalled. “I was thrown to the wisps, barely alive as a sliver of shadow in the Frozen North.”

“Twilight Sparkle sabotaged my magic-stealing spell!” Cozy chirped. “I’ll do anything to defeat her! The spell blew up in my face!” she gestured at the burn scars on her face.

“You all have a mutual enemy,” Grogar grinned. “And together, you will take her down. Once that is done,” he threw his head back and did the evil villain laugh. “We’ll rule Equestria!”

Two Months Later

“Grogar, eh?” Twilight observed the spinning picture. “Equestria-destroying level threat? Why’d you wait two months to tell us? We could’ve prevented the Sombra attack.”

“Yep, and I needed intel,” Discord nodded. “What are your plans?”

“Oh, I’ve got one,” Twilight winked, before looking at her fellow princesses. “I know I promised not to blow anything up. But this one is a seriously evil villain. You gotta let me have this one.”

“For once,” Cadence shifted uncomfortably. “I am fine with it. All the villains you’ve defeated before have escaped from their prisons, assisted by this Grogar. And according to what you said, Discord, he has his bell. We can’t take any chances.”

“No, absolutely not,” Celestia snapped. “We’re not blowing anything up!”

“Oh, come on, sister,” Luna pouted. “It’d be fun! And we’d take down every villain at the same time, once and for all! Twilight went easy on them, which is why they’re still around to cause havoc.”

“Not only that,” Twilight added. “I need you three’s help too. Luna knows my spells, so she’ll be with me. But Princess Celestia, Cadence, you two don’t want to have anything to do with this, right?”

“That is correct,” Cadence nodded. “Even if they are evil, I hate the idea of just...ending someone that way.”

“And I, of course, will not support this!” Celestia answered. “You have the power of Friendship, Twilight! You can use it!”

“Friendship is useless here,” Twilight dismissed the idea. “The Elements were destroyed from the whole thing with Sombra. And I don’t think we can replicate what we did.”

“Then what are you going to do, Twilight?” Celestia sighed. “Even you can’t take all of them on at the same time.”

“I know,” Twilight nodded. “Which is why I’ll need your magic, and Cadance’s for Luna.”

“What?!”

“Oh, and evacuate Canterlot. Then get ready to hire builders.”

“...”

“Where are you hiding, Spaaaaarkle?” Chrysalis cooed. “I’ve got a present for you!” She blasted a hole into the wall of the throne room. “You can’t hide forever from me!”

Tirek smashed through the door of the throne room. “Sparkle!” he roared. “Come out from wherever you are hiding. Surrender, and I’ll make it quick. We have the Bell and Grogar’s magic. You are no match for us!”

“I agree,” Starlight tore a hole into the space-time barrier and trotted into the throne room through it, along with Cozy Glow. As her hooves stepped onto the marble, the rip closed behind her. She folded her wings in, the Bell having made her an alicorn. “We know you’re in here. My spell detects your magic.”

“I’m actually not,” A hologram of Twilight flickered into place. “I just left several presents behind that are filled with my magic. You see, I know you’d all come after me. You all hate me, don’t you? Well, just ten minutes before…”

Ten minutes ago...

“Here,” Twilight gestured at a section of the floor. Luna nodded, setting yet another trap there.

“Don’t you think this is overboard?” Luna asked as she glanced around the throne room, every section of it rigged to Tartarus with explosive traps. “You even are gonna trigger them all yourself with all of our magic combined.”

“I also have Trixie’s patented “Supremely Great and Powerful Fireworks™,” Twilight grinned. “She made those at my School of Explosions. They’re extremely good for loud explosions and stuff.”

“I wish Celestia would allow me to attend,” Luna pouted. “It sounds like fun, it really does. And how did you even get the E.E.A. to approve it?”

“They didn’t,” Twilight smirked. “I just, um, did a little...bribery. You know how it goes. And pulling my Princess rank, of course. We’re now independent of the E.E.A.”

“Huzzah!” Luna cheered. “Thank you, Twilight, for not being as stuffy as Sister! I was worried you turn out like her when I heard you were her personal student.”

“I would’ve,” Twilight nodded. “If it wasn’t for, you know, blowing you up. I’m really sorry for that.”

“Naw,” Luna shook her head. “It wasn’t your fault. More of mine than anything for giving into the Nightmare.”

“Well then,” Twilight smiled as she examined the spells. “Time to give me all the magic. I’ll blow this place to Tartarus, and hopefully, those four, along with it.”

Luna clapped with her hooves. “I’ll get the popcorn.”

The Present Time

“I wish you good luck,” Twilight’s hologram winked. “As Discord once said,” the hologram winked out. Chrysalis rushed to the window, trying to see if Twilight was there. She was.

Twilight grinned. “Sometimes you just gotta revert to the basics.” A corona of magic had already formed on her horn, the spell’s power crackling in the air.

“We’re bucked, aren’t we?” Starlight whispered.

“Yep,” Cozy shrugged. “Golly, what a way to go-” The world blew up in a crescendo of fire and explosions as Twilight’s spell hit the throne room, every single trap activating.

Rubble flew everywhere as yet more spells ignited, fireworks launching into the air with thousands of explosions happening all at once. The throne room collapsed along with the wing of Canterlot Castle that it was in.

“Worth it,” Luna grinned as she chomped on the popcorn with Discord beside her. All of them were watching from the top of Mount Canterhorn. “The bill for the builders is gonna be expensive, but the sight alone is worth it.”

Celestia sighed and facehoofed. “Ugh…" She looked at Luna. "Give me some." Grabbing some of the popcorn, she started eating them too.

As more explosions went off, everyone could hear Twilight’s exuberant cheer.

“Curse you, Twilight Sparkle,” Grogar grumbled as he broke out of the cage the villains had put him in after betraying him. “I’ll have my revenge. Just not now.”

“Nope!” Discord popped into existence in front of him. “The author wants to finish the series here!”

“You’re gonna blow me up, aren’t you?” Grogar deadpanned.

“Yep!”

Discord snapped his fingers, and Grogar blew up.
