Twilight got her sword ready as the Ender Dragon flew up into the air. She told all of her friends to get ready as well. She saw Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Rarity take their swords out, but Rainbow and Fluttershy flew after the Ender Dragon. Applejack and Pinkie got their bows ready and Spike prepared potions. Twilight and Rarity could levitate their swords over to the Ender Dragon to attack it, Rainbow and Fluttershy could fly after it, Spike could attack with his fire, but Pinkie and Applejack had to use long-ranged attacks to hit it.
Twilight watched as the Ender Dragon flew closer to the ground, and right where she and most of her friends were standing. She ran off to the side and swung her sword at the Ender Dragon. It let out a sharp cry of pain once hit, and it took a few seconds for it to recover and fly off again. She ran after the Ender Dragon and tried to levitate her sword closer to it. Rarity followed her and tried to do the same thing.
"As long as we stick together with our stratagies, then that dragon won't be able to stand a chance." Rarity said. "Rainbow and Fluttershy are going to fight side-by-side, same for Pinkie and Applejack. Now we have to do the same thing."
Twilight nodded before making her sword chase after the Ender Dragon and helping Rarity do something similar with hers. Their plan was to have the Ender Dragon cornered by their swords so it would have nowhere to escape and they would all be able to attack it. She poured more magic into her spell and her sword was finally able to scratch the surface of the Ender Dragon's tail. She swung the sword at it and caused it to halt it's flight to recover. 'More damage! Yes!' She cheered inside of her head.
However, the scratch didn't stay for long. While the Ender Dragon flew by one of the obsidian pillars, the crystal on top of it glowed and let out a white beam at it. The beam restored any damage done to the Ender Dragon and healed it, allowing it to fight longer.
Twilight flipped open her book to try and learn why the crystals were healing the Ender Dragon, but found no information about it. 'It's just like the Ender Dragon said, there's no information about the End Realm except that it lives here and you have to get here via Stronghold portal.' She looked back at the crystals and decided to try something. "Hey Pinkie! Applejack! Will you two do me a favor?"
"Sure Twilight!" Pinkie happily agreed (before even knowing what to do).
"Well what is it?" Applejack asked. "If it's somethin' like jump off the End, ah ain't doin' it."
"I need you two to shoot at the crystals that are on top of the obsidian pillars." Twilght told them. "They seem to be healing the Ender Dragon."
"Can do sugarcube." Applejack agreed.
"I already shot one!" Pinkie shouted. "It exploded!"
"Exploded?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, exploded. Like this." Pinkie said before aiming her bow and arrow. She pointed at the closest crystal and let the arrow fly. It struck true and hit the crystal, causing a creeper-like explosion and destroying the crystal. "I think they might be able to hurt the Ender Dragon if the white beam-thingy is connected to it."
"If that's true, I want you two to try and remove them all before attacking the Ender Dragon." Twilight told them. "As long as it doesn't heal then we can beat it and try to get home."
Twilight recieved nods from her friends before they ran off to fling arrows at the crystals. She levitated her sword again and tried to swing it at the Ender Dragon. Thankfully it was farther away from the crystals, so she was able to deal some damage. She repeatedly swung her sword and managed to stagger the Ender Dragon, allowing Rainbow and Fluttershy to attack.
Twilight kept swinging her sword and got Rarity to join in and attack as well. The Ender Dragon was having a bit of trouble getting away, but eventually it found an opening and flew off into the void-like sky.
"Aww come on!" Rainbow shouted with frustration. "We almost got it!"
"I umm..... I think it might come back....." Fluttershy said. "It didn't look like it was retreating."
"I have to agree with Fluttershy!" Rarity called out. "I believe the Ender Dragon just has to recover, it will most likely come back!"
Twlight decided to use the remaining time she had to write a bit about the Ender Dragon. She levitated her book and ink-dipped feather and began a very quick sketch of the dragon. The drawing wasn't the best in the world, but to any new 'replacements' it would identify what it looked like. She included a brief caption that said 'The Ender Dragon, found in the End Realm'.
By the time Twilight finished writing the last letter, Rainbow yelled that the Ender Dragon was coming back, and it was much more fierce than before. Twilight quickly put her book back into her saddlebags and prepared her sword. She watched the Ender Dragon as it flew back, and it was enraged. The calm, purple eyes it had now had pure anger within them and the Ender Dragon was flying a bit faster. It also targeted the very first pony it saw.
"Rainbow!" Twilight screeched. "Look out! The Ender Dragon is coming for you!"
Twilight could only watch as the Ender Dragon flew quickly toward Rainbow. Rainbow was forced to put her sword away and fly as fast as possible to avoid being knocked into the void. Twilight called out to Fluttershy and told her to follow them and try to stop the Ender Dragon. She told Rarity to try and distract it and for Pinkie and Applejack to continue shooting. She then walked over to Spike to see what he was doing.
Twilight talked with Spike a bit and got a few Regeneration potions from him to use, just in case the Ender Dragon decided to fly lower and attack the ponies on land. She looked back at where Rainbow and the Ender Dragon were and saw that they were still flying around the End Realm. Rainbow was able to stay away from the Ender Dragon's attacks, but it was slowly catching up to her.
Twilight took out her sword and tried attacking the Ender Dragon again. The fight was getting harder, probably because the Ender Dragon was getting low on health and it started getting enraged. The ponies and dragon were stronger than it. Twilight's sword was barely able to catch up to the Ender Dragon, but when it did she was trying as much as possible to not miss. Just one good strike would be enough to stagger it and allow the others to get close and lower it's health a lot.
Twilight's sword made it to the Ender Dragon and she swung it at the Ender Dragon's tail, causing it to stagger for a second or two and allowing Rainbow to turn around and attack it. Fluttershy also made it to the Ender Dragon and attacked it while Rarity, Pinkie, and Applejack fought from a distance. Twilight kept swinging her sword at the Ender Dragon and she could tell that it's health was getting dangerously low. The Ender Dragon seemed more forceful, and it dived straight at where Fluttershy and Rainbow were attacking it, knocking them back and dealing damage.
Twilight knew that the Ender Dragon would repeat it's strategy until they all died, so she decided that the best time to knock it out was now. She levitated her iron sword into her saddlebags and replaced it with the diamond sword Rarity crafted. She turned to where most of her friends were recovering and called out to them.
"Try and keep the Ender Dragon close to the ground! I'm going to try and finish it with the diamond sword!"
Her friends nodded before running toward the Ender Dragon to keep it close to the floating land they stood on. Twilight noticed that the Ender Dragon was becoming desperate, seeing as how it stayed farther away from her friends. But it was forced to get lower to the ground when Rainbow and Fluttershy flew from behind it while Rarity's sword swung at it's back. It ha to either keep getting hit or fly toward the ground to escape.
Twilight ran forward to the Ender Dragon when it was forced to the ground. She carefully swung the diamond sword upwards and toward it's head with a strong hope that this would end everything. 'This must be why it's called the End.' She realized. 'This is where the final fight is, the last chance of survival, it is truely the 'End' of Minecraft.'
Twilight's friends were keeping the Ender Dragon close to the ground when she finally got to it. The diamond sword was raised high in the air, and she finally threw it at it's head. That was the final strike. The Ender Dragon's health was too low to survive, and it rose in the air.
"NO!" It yelled. "This CAN'T be it! I can't die! I'm too strong! These ponies are weak! They can't defeat me, not when I was too close to the final stage of my plan! I'm so close, but too far away! NOO!!!"
Bright purple lights flew out of the ding Ender Dragon as it began to shrivel up. Holes punctured trough it and wilted away all that was left of the powerful End creature. Twilight, Rainbow, Rarity, Pinkie, Applejack, Fluttershy, and Spike watched in awe and relief as the Ender Dragon finally died in a flash of purple lights. When the lights faded, all of hem could see a strange structure below where the Ender Dragon died.
Twilight levitated the diamond sword back into her saddlebags and approached the new structure. It was two blocks up from the ground, but she could easily place some cobblestone down to get to the top of it. When the blocks were placed she looked into the structure and found more portal blocks. However instead of multi-colored particles floating around inside of it, there were only white and gray particles on the black, space-like blocks.
"Well everypony, I think this is it." Twilight told all of her friends. "We defeated the Ender Dragon, and this must be the portal out."
All of Twilight's friends nodded in agreement and jumped in. Twilight just stared out at the End Realm (avoiding the eyes of the remaining Endermen) before jumping into the portal and hearing a ding.
-------------
Twilight woke up to meet the light of the Minecraft Overworld. 'Of course the portal didn't bring us back to Equestria.' She thought before helping her friends get up. She looked around at her surroundings and discovered that they were in the exact same spot when they first arrived in Minecraft. The house was in the forest, the lake over in the distance, everything was the same.
It took Twilight a few seconds to realize that the fight with the Ender Dragon didn't bring them home. But before her mind jumped to conclusions she levitated a piece of paper and her ink-dipped feather out and gave them to Spike.
"Spike, take a letter."
-------------
Dear Princess Celestia,
We are pleased to inform you that the dragon causing the problems in Equestria is now dealt with. The Ender Dragon will no longer cause any more pain and suffering to anypony else. However, there is a bit of a problem. My friends and I have no way to return back to Equestria, unless you finished that spell.
I really do hope that it's complete. We have no goal except wait otherwise, and I'm fairly certain that everypony is tired of Minecraft. We all just want to go home.
Your faithful student,
Twilight Sparkle

"Great! Now just send the letter." Twilight told Spike. "All we have to do is wait for now."
It wasn't too long befoe Spike belched out a letter, obviously from Celestia. Twilight quickly caught it with her magic before unraveling the scroll.
-------------
Dear Twilight,
That is some of the best news I've heard all week! So it's called the Ender Dragon, interesting. But I am very happy to tell you that the spell is now complete, and is ready to take you and your friends home. The only drawback is that it needs some sort of fuel to work, and I can only guess that it comes from Minecraft.
The part of the spell you must perform is enclosed in this letter. Once you begin the spell it will take the fuel that you should (hopefully) have and send a signal to me to begin my part of the spell. If the spell is successful it will transport you and your friends back to Equestria and leave anything unwanted from Minecraft there.
Your teacher,
Princess Celestia
-------------
Twilight levitated the encoled parchment with the spell on it and asked her friends if they were ready to leave. After recieving no objections to leaving Minecraft, she took a deep breath and began the spell. Purple and gray lights slowly flashed around everypony and glowed. Each of the ponies (Spike isn't included) felt something leaving them, which was all of their Achievements. From Getting Wood to The End., all of them leaft the ponies and fueled the spell.
Twilight felt another set of magic working with her spell. 'Celestia, she's getting us home!' She excitedly thought. She carefully brought her part of the spell to a close and felt Celestia's magic pulling them through dimensions to get to Equestria. She finished her fraction of the spell with a flash of purple and gray, leaving behind almost all of the Minecraft items leaft in their saddlebags.
-------------
Twilight opened her eyes and found herself in the Canterlot Castle beside all of her friends. Before her stood Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, both of them seemed happy to have them back. She smiled and bowed before them along with her friends before rising to hug Celestia.
"It appears as though you are all safe." Celestia said. "That's great news. My sister and I did not want to think of the worst."
"My friends and I are just happy to be back." Twilight told Celestia. "But I think we're all going to need a few days to get back into our usual schedule. Minecraft works very different from Equestria."
"Very well." Celestia said to all of them. "I will have some guards escort you all back to your homes, and I wish you all good luck."
-------------
Twilight got off of the Pegasus Chariot with Spike at the library. When she walked in, there wasn't a single cobweb along the ceiling of the library. There was only a very thin layer of dust along some of the books and bookselves, which she told Spike to remove and clean.
Twilight levitated her saddlebags off of her back, but felt something inside. She opened them up and saw a single book lying at the bottom of the bag. She levitated it out and flipped it open to the first page to see one word as the title, 'Minecraft'. She smiled before levitating a quill and some ink over to her and flipping to the Ender Dragon's page.
It took a little while, but Twilight recorded as much as she could about the Ender Dragon. She smiled as she remembered her adventure before levitating the book into one of the library bookshelves before walking upstairs to sleep.
