A mysterious creature arrives in Ponyville with an interesting proposition.
When a mysterious looking creature falls through the Mirror, Twilight and her friends attempt to befriend this being, but it doesn't seem like being friends is what this creature wants. It wants to make an offer with Twilight, an offer she can't refuse!
I thought that Discord was the weirdest thing in Equestria, I was wrong! This creature came through the mirror portal called Bill Cipher. He is dangerous and he murdered Spike right in front of me! He'll keep killing unless I let him take over my mind. Please help, we need you! My friends won't ever forgive me if I give in to him. Come soon.
Your Faithful Student, Twilight Spark▲▲▲
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT, YOU INSOLENT LITTLE PUPPET!"
4 Days Earlier...
Ponyville was normal. There was nothing weird and all of the ponies were going about their day as usual. Derpy was delivering the mail as usual, Dr. Whooves was working on one of his weird machines and Cheerilee was getting ready for another day of teaching the foals. Over in the castle in which Twilight resided as the Princess Of Friendship, Twilight was contemplating what Starlight's next friendship lesson was going to be.
"Wow, so I guess there really isn't anything that I could learn at this point?" Starlight asked Twilight in hopes that she could just be over with her lessons. "I just don't know, I really didn't think it would be over so soon!" Twilight replied.
"It has been over a year now!" Starlight said, jokingly.
"I guess so, but what happens now? Now that I've taught you everything I can, what are you going to do?" Twilight asked her student. Starlight replied with something that Twilight was not expecting.
"Maybe I should go back to my old town? Now that everyone there has forgiven me for what I did, maybe I can make it a much happier place, not so equal?" Starlight told Twilight.
Twilight was shocked. "So that's it? I did all of this for you, took you in as my student and now you're leaving!?"
Starlight looked just as upset as her mentor. "Maybe I can share what I have learned with everyone else there! I'll visit from time to time, please Twilight, I have to do this!"
At first, Twilight was hesitant, but eventually she understood that this was what Starlight wanted and there wasn't really anything she could do to change that. "Is there anything I can say that will make you stay?" Twilight asked Starlight.
"No, Twilight. I wish there was but I need to do this." Twilight had accepted that her student was now done and that she had to leave.
Twilight and her other five friends were now stood with Starlight at the Ponyville Train Station. Rainbow flew up to Starlight and started to shake her from side to side...and then Pinkie joined in too.
"You can't go! You're one of us, you know!" Rainbow pleaded to Starlight. "Yeah, we're a team, you can't go!" Pinkie also pleaded to Starlight.
"I'm not one of you, You are the Elements Of Harmony, and I have no element." Starlight told them. "It's as simple as that."
Rarity just replied with "We'll miss you darling!" and Fluttershy just said "Come back soon!" Twilight, on the other hand, was unable to say anything, she had said everything she needed to back at the castle.
"Please talk to me, Twilight! Of course I was going to leave after my lessons were over, it's not like I was going to be given a seventh Element of Harmony, is it?" Starlight asked her friend, kind of hoping it would happen.
"No, I suppose not. Goodbye, Starlight, you really came around and I'm so happy that you were able to leave your past behind you!" Twilight said, happy that her friend had completed her studies.
"I can't believe it's been over a year since then!" Starlight said, beaming with pride about herself.
"I know, I can't believe she hasn't turned on us and tried to destroy Equestria again!" said Applejack before everypony turned to look at her angrily. "Sorry, was that too much?" Applejack said, nervously. The train was almost upon them.
"Well, it's here. I guess this is goodbye for now." Starlight said, almost crying to her friends. She ran to them to give one last hug before stepping on the train to take her to her town.
"GOODBYE!" shouted all six of her friends as the train began to leave. Starlight shouted one last goodbye from the train before it faded into the distance and the six ponies were left alone.
"Wow, I can't believe it's really over. It's gonna be a lot different with her gone, that's for sure!" Rainbow added. At this point, without warning, Pinkie began to shake and twitch violently, almost like her pinkie sense, only worse. Much worse.
"Pinkie, what's wrong!?" shouted everyone in unison.
"Well, what do we do?" said Applejack, worryingly. Then, suddenly, the shaking and the twitching stopped just as soon as it had started.
"What just happened, Pinkie?" Twilight asked, cautiously.
"I don't know, I think it was my Pinkie sense. That was really scary! Whatever it was must be really bad." Pinkie sounded worried.
"Come on, let's get back to the castle, we can get something to eat and hopefully rest after all of that." Twilight now sounded calm after saying goodbye to Starlight and everyone seemed to agree that lunch was the best course of action.
Everyone was now calm, having said their goodbyes to Starlight, they were now eating lunch around their table.
"So, when are we gonna see Starlight again, huh!?" said Pinkie.
Twilight responded with "Pinkie, she just left! Let her at least settle in first and give her time!" Pinkie sighed and agreed.
"Well, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to leave, I have a lot of work to do and those dresses won't make themselves" Rarity said as she stood up to leave.
Applejack also stood up. "Yeah, I also have a lot of work to do on the farm, and I can't leave all of my chores to Apple Bloom."
Fluttershy also had to leave to make sure that her animal friends weren't starving since they hadn't eaten in a while and Rainbow had some work to do since she was obviously a Wonderbolt. Pinkie was the only one still sitting.
"Hey Twilight, you wanna come to Sugarcube Corner and bake some cupcakes with me?" Pinkie asked.
"No thanks, I need to go and get Spike. It's a shame he couldn't be there for Starlight. He was busy cleaning the place while we were gone." Pinkie wasn't sure why cleaning was more important than saying goodbye to a friend but she seemed fine with it none the less and they all went to leave the castle. However, without any clear warning, the mirror portal to the other world began to shake and freak out violently. Everyone rushed back in at this point and stared intensely at what was going on.
"Is that something to do with your friends at Canterlot High, Twilight?" asked Rarity.
"I don't think so, they have their own Twilight now and plus, it wouldn't be shaking this much, I don't know what's going on! Everypony, get ready for anything!" Twilight and her friends were prepared for anything, but they weren't prepared for this. What came tumbling through the portal was a creature in yellow, wearing a hat and looking surprisingly dapper. Twilight and her friends were ready to attack this unknown creature.
Twilight and her friends dashed forward to attack this unknown creature before it shouted out in terror.
"PLEASE, stop. I'm not a threat to you. My name's Bill Cipher and I come from another dimension you probably aren't familiar with."
It took a while before Twilight and her friends were able to sit down and comprehend what had just happened. Bill just hovered around examining the castle.
"Wow, this is one sweet castle, what I wouldn't give to have one just like this!" Bill said in awe.
"Well, this is my castle and I am the Princess of Friendship here, my name is Twilight Sparkle." Twilight told Bill. Bill appeared surprised once he heard the name 'Twilight Sparkle'.
"Wait, you're saying that YOU'RE Twilight Sparkle!?" Bill exclaimed. Under his breath, Bill said "So that means that this is Equestria, then? This'll probably go smoother than I thought."
Twilight seemed surprised that he had recognised her name, considering that he was not from this world in the first place. "How do you know of me? You're not from here, are you?"
Rainbow Dash flew up like a bullet towards Cipher. "Yeah, you're probably just trying to destroy Equestria by tricking us! He kinda reminds me of Discord like that."
Fluttershy, however, went to defend her Draquoneus friend. "Discord's not like that anymore, you know that, Rainbow!"
"Well, if you must know, I've been through a lot of dimentions in my time, and let's just say I've heard your name mentioned a couple of times." Twilight seemed pretty happy by Bill's response.
"REALLY!? I'm talked about in other DIMENTIONS!?" Twilight seemed ecstatic over the idea. "Wait, so it's not weird that we're, you know, ponies?"
"Are you kidding!? For all of the dimentions that I've passed through, a world inhabited by ponies is the least weird!" Bill moved closer to Twilight. "You're friends don't seem so keen on me, though."
"It's probably because you're different, if you get to know them they might see that you're not so bad." Twilight began to introduce her friends. "This is Rainbow Dash."
Bill didn't seem so keen on Rainbow. "You know, I don't see us getting along."
Rainbow wasn't so happy about that. "Back off, Cipher!" She yelled.
Twilight continued to introduce her friends. "And this is Applejack."
"Is she one of the country folk here?" Bill asked, mockingly.
Applejack didn't seem happy about that. "HEY!" she yelled.
Twilight looked a little worried that this wasn't going well. "And this is Fluttershy."
"Well, great to meet ya!" Bill took hold of Fluttershy's hoof and began shaking it furiously. "I'd like to meet your Discord friend, he sounds like a lot of fun!"
Fluttershy seemed quite nervous so she quietly whispered "That would be wonderful."
"I have no idea what she just said!" Bill said in a cheery tone.
Twilight continued introducing everyone. "This is Rarity."
Rarity stood up to greet Bill. "Lovely to meet you. How long do you plan to stay in Equestria?"
Bill seemed happy to answer the question. "Maybe just a couple of days, at least until I'm ready to go back through the portal."
"We didn't know that the portal could go to any other worlds? We thought it was just Canterlot High." Twilight said to Bill.
"Oh no, there are many other dimentions, I even ended up getting kicked out of my original dimention because of some kids and their Great Uncle's, but let's not dwell on that." Bill didn't seem happy to talk about that. "Hey, let's just see who else we got here!"
Twilight didn't bother to ask what happened. He clearly didn't want to talk about it. "This is Pinkie Pie."
"Hey there, Mr. Cipher, how are you doing? I am doing fine since we just had the most delicious lunch but I'm also not so good since we had to say goodbye to our friend, Starlight Glimmer." Pinkie said this abnormally fast.
Somehow, Bill understood exactly what she said. "Wonderful! So sorry to hear about your friend but not so sorry to hear about that cake!" Bill seemed just as wild as Pinkie.
"Twilight misses her most of all, especially since she was her student." Pinkie told Cipher.
Bill suddenly had an idea. "Oh, really?"
Twilight moved to the last one in the room. "And this is my assistant, Spike."
"He's a dragon. That's pretty cool!" Bill seemed pretty happy to see something that isn't a pony.
"What are you exactly? Why do you only have one eye and why are you a triangle!?" Nopony else seemed to be questioning this.
Bill responded pretty quickly. "I come from a dimention where everything lives in a 2-Dimentional space, even me! It feels so good to be able to move around in a physical space for once!"
Twilight walked towards Cipher. "What are you gonna do now? If you want, you could stay here?"
"Um, Twilight. Can I speak with you and everyone else outside?" Rainbow asked. "Without Bill."
"Can you just give us a second?" Twilight asked Bill.
"No problem!" Bill replied.
"There's no way that you can actually trust this...thing!?" Rainbow said once they were outside of the castle.
"Rainbow, he's just passing through, he'll be gone in a couple of days." Twilight replied.
"Yeah, he might not have been the most sensitive feller, but at least he hasn't tried to kill us yet." Applejack said. Everyone else was in agreement with Twilight and Applejack, Spike included.
"Rainbow, he's staying with us!" Twilight told her friend.
"You don't get it, do you? There's something...off about him. Look, I'm going home, it's late. See you tomorrow, Twi!" Rainbow Dash left without saying another word.
"She'll understand soon enough. He's a good guy." Twilight said, to which everyone seemed to agree.
Shortly after, Twilight's friends decided it was time to return home, so they left. When Twilight returned to the castle, she found Bill sat on her chair around the table.
"I would prefer it if you didn't sit on there if you don't mind, Bill." Twilight asked.
"Oh yeah, sure! Have your friends left now?" Bill asked Twilight, quite suspiciously, after leaving the chair.
"Yeah, it's getting late, we should sleep as well." Twilight told Bill.
"Well that's just it, Twilight. I need to ask you something very important before we sleep, even though I don't need to sleep." Bill said, moving down to Twilight's level to talk.
"Well, what is it Bill?" Twilight asked, cautiously.
"You see...I want to make a deal with you, Twilight Sparkle."
"I want to make a deal with you, Twilight Sparkle."
Twilight was initially confused at this at first since it was pretty sudden. They had only just met and he wanted to make a deal with her? It sounded suspicious to Twilight. Twilight Sat down in her chair as Bill lowered himself next to her.
"What is it, Bill? Everyone's gone and I'm tired!" Twilight told him.
"I know, I know, so I'll make this quick. You understand that I'm from another dimension, right?" Bill asked her.
"Yes. Where exactly are you going with this, Bill?" Twilight said, cautiously.
"Well, I overheard your friend mentioning that another friend of yours, Starlight was it, had left just before I came and that gave me an idea. What if I bring your friend back...permanently!" Twilight's jaw dropped at the idea. She didn't want Starlight to leave in the first place. If Bill could bring her back, then she wouldn't have to say goodbye again.
Just then, Twilight began to become a little suspicious of Bill. "Wait a minute, why are you doing this for me? You aren't even from here."
"Well, I thought that we were friends and I wanted to do something for you for letting me stay here for a couple of days!" Bill seemed a little too excited about this deal.
"I don't know, Bill. I mean, what exactly is it you want in return from me?" Twilight didn't really want to know the answer, but if it was to have Starlight back...
"Oh, I thought you'd never ask! All I want from you is a bit of control for a short while. I want to go inside your mind!" Bill was starting to become more and more eager with every word.
"You want to control my mind!? That's crazy! I don't even know if I can trust you properly and you want to do something that could potentially destroy Equestria with your kind of power!" Bill wasn't too happy with this response.
"WHAT! ....Okay, Twilight. If you don't want Starlight back, that's fine. You will never see your friend again."
"Not exactly, We're still allowed to visit. Now I'm going to bed. You should too...if you can." Suddenly, Bill began to laugh behind her.
"Are you serious, Twilight Sparkle! I'm an interdimensional being that can bend the will of reality! Here's the thing, Twilight. If you don't agree to this deal, you friend will die! PAINFULLY!" Bill was serious and Twilight knew it.
"Rainbow was right about you, Cipher." Twilight suddenly turns around and shoots a beam of magic at Cipher which he then stops in mid-air. Twilight was not expecting this.
"Is this a joke, Princess!? You think that's going to get rid of me that easily!" Bill shoots the beam back at Twilight who falls to the ground on impact. Bill notices Spike coming down the stairs and into the main room.
"What is going on in here? It's so late right now!" Before Spike had a chance to realise what was going on, Bill gave a snap of his fingers and lifted him up next to him.
"No, Spike! Don't you even think about it, Cipher!" Twilight was furious, scared and frustrated right now. "Why would I make this deal with you now after EVERYTHING that has happened here!?"
"Well, not only will I kill your friend Starlight, but I'll kill your little friend here, and all of your friends out there! Now MAKE THE DEAL, TWILIGHT SPARKLE!" Bill yelled, prepared to kill Spike at any moment.
Twilight attempted to teleport out of the castle to get help. Unfortunately, it was no use. "What is going on? Why can't I leave!?"
"I've blocked every entrance and exit here, even trying to teleport yourself out of here won't work with me around. YOU'RE OUT OF YOUR LEAGUE HERE! JUST MAKE THE DEAL AND NOBODY DIES...YET." Twilight couldn't bring herself to risk Equestria like this, but what would happen to Spike?
"I can't. You will destroy Equestria and I can't let that happen!" Twilight knew what this meant, but she wasn't sure if she made the right choice.
"Twilight, please! Help!!" Spike begged for help, but Bill wasn't having it.
"I'M GETTING TIRED OF YOU, SHORT STACK!!" Bill snapped his fingers once more and Spike's neck began to twist until Twilight heard the crunch that she dreaded. Bill had snapped Spike's neck. He then dropped Spike's corpse down in front of Twilight.
Twilight was in tears over her assistant. She didn't know what else to do. If she didn't make the deal, Bill would kill Starlight and who knows who else! And if she did, Equestria was in serious peril.
Bill moved down to Twilight's level. "So, are you going to make the deal or not, My Little Pony? Do whatever you want, people die either way!"
Twilight ran upstairs to write a letter to Princess Celestia. She needed help. Bill noticed this and ran after her.
Dear Princess Celestia,
I thought that Discord was the weirdest thing in Equestria, I was wrong! This creature came through the mirror portal called Bill Cipher. He is dangerous and he murdered Spike right in front of me! He'll keep killing unless I let him take over my mind. Please help, we need you! My friends won't ever forgive me if I give in to him. Come soon.
Your Faithful Student, Twilight Spark▲▲▲
"YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE THAT, YOU INSOLENT LITTLE PUPPET!"
Twilight had managed to send the letter just before Bill had reached her. "There is nothing else you can do to me that will make me change my mind, Cipher!"
"If you say so!" Bill did it. Twilight thought that she could call his bluff but Bill showed her a bubble which showed Starlight at her town. As soon as he snapped his fingers, Starlight began to shake vigorously before finally being incinerated into ash. The bubble also disappeared .
"How did you like that, Twilight! That was my best work yet, NOW MAKE THE DEAL!" Twilight could not believe what she was looking at. Her friend who she wanted back more than anything was dead. She needed Celestia to get here right now but she didn't have a choice.
"FINE! You've murdered two of my best friends and I've lost, are you happy now!?" Twilight had lost all hope at this point unless Celestia comes soon.
"Very." Bill held out his hand, ready for the deal to commence. Twilight held out her hoof and began to shake with Cipher. Once they had made the deal, Twilight heard someone. It was Princess Celestia along with Luna and several members of the royal guard.
"Twilight! We're here to help! Where is this Bill Cipher!?" But it was too late, Twilight had made the deal and Bill was ready.
"Oh boy, THIS WILL BE FUN!" Bill was now inside Twilight's body, he had control over one of the Princesses of Equestria. Imagine the power he could have!
At this point, Twilight's castle began to shake...a lot. It began to crumble and it was being destroyed. Celestia did not know what to think of this. "What is happening!?"
Twilight's castle had been destroyed. Spike was dead. Starlight was dead. Twilight had given in to Bill. And Twilight, AKA Bill, was face to face with Princess Celestia, Luna and the Royal Guard on what remained of the castle.
"I CAN'T WAIT TO WIPE YOU ALL OFF THE FACE OF THIS PLANET!!!"
"I CAN'T WAIT TO WIPE YOU ALL OFF THE FACE OF THIS PLANET!!!"
Everything was quiet and hopeless as Twilight, AKA Bill, was face to face with Celestia, Luna and the Royal Guard. Twilight's friends came as soon as they had heard the destruction.
"Woah, what happened to the castle!? Twilight?" Rainbow wondered. All of Twilight's friends were confused as to what happened here.
Celestia began to speak to Bill. "What are you and what have you done with Twilight? Explain!" Bill just smiled and glared at the two princesses.
"Wow, it really hasn't crossed your mind, Princess? I AM TWILIGHT, NOW! I have all of her magic, the power to take over this cursed place! You're not going to see her for a long time!" Fluttershy bravely walked forward towards Bill.
"Let Twilight go or else, you monster!" She said, attempting to give Bill the stare.
"I don't know what you are trying to do, but you should really back away before I end your life just like I did with that little dragon!"
"Wait, Spike's...dead?" Rarity said, trying not to cry but bursting into tears soon after.
"How in the hay could you do that to him, HE WAS JUST A KID!" Applejack yelled, angrier than she had ever been.
"Well, I suppose if you don't like that, then you do NOT wanna hear what I did to that poor Starlight! She's practically on fire!" Rainbow Dash attempted to dash up to Bill and attack him but Celestia managed to stop her before damaging Twilight's body.
"Rainbow Dash! NO! That thing still inhabits Twilight's body, if you damage him, you damage her." Celestia told her just in time.
"You know, Princess, I do have a name! I'm Bill Cipher, pleasure to meet you. You wanna introduce yourself?" Celestia wasn't interested in formalities.
"I am not interested in sharing formalities with you! Now leave Twilight's body and this world peacefully or this will end in pain!" Celestia signalled the Royal Guard to move forward, ready for attack. Twilight's friends also prepared for attack.
"Oh, do we really have to fight? And here I thought you would understand. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE TWILIGHT BACK!" Bill stomped one of Twilight's hoofs and without and sound or warning, every member of the Royal guard had vanished without a trace.
"Where have they gone, what have you done with them!?" Celestia yelled, furiously. Even Luna was confused.
"Bring them back! Bring them back now or we will end this!" Luna stated.
"You really shouldn't worry yourselves, they're just taking a well deserved break in my Nightmare Dimension, they're perfectly fine. As for your threats, what do you seriously think you can do to me!? I just removed your entire army with a stomp of this hoof, and I could remove you just as fast!" Celestia and Luna as well as Twilight's friends knew he was right, but what could they do?
"Unfortunately, he's not wrong. Without Twilight, we don't have the power to do anything to him, unless..." Celestia had an idea, a very risky idea.
"What is it, sister?" Luna asked as she and Twilight's friends gathered around Celestia.
"Are you kidding me!? I won't risk this if you seriously have a plan!" Bill stomped Twilight's hoof once more and Luna was gone.
"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!? She had better be still alive!" Celestia couldn't believe what was going on. First the Royal Guard, then Luna!
"Of course she is! As long as you give up, right now!" Celestia knew that if she didn't go through with her plan now, the whole of Equestria was doomed.
"Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity, Rainbow Dash! You have to trust me!" Celestia knew exactly what to do.
"What are you doing, Princess!?" Applejack yelled.
Celestia walked up to Bill. "What are you going to do? Hopefully you know better than to fight back now!" Celestia looked back at Twilight's friends.
"Rainbow Dash, you'll know what to do!" Celestia shot a massive burst of magic at Bill, which as a result of the shock, caused him to temporarily leave Twilight's body.
"YOU'LL PAY FOR THAT, PRINCESS!!" Bill snapped his fingers and Celestia's horn and wings were removed from her body. Twilight's body was unconscious but Bill was rushing to get back inside. Bill didn't get too far before Rainbow Dash came kicking in and attacked Bill's eye directly.
"Bullseye!" She yelled.
"Everypony, keep him away from Twilight's body! He must not be allowed to take over her mind again!" Celestia told them, knowing she was powerless to do anything now.
"NO! I refuse to lose to a group of PONIES! I REFUSE!!" Bill snapped his fingers once again and froze everyone in place. "Oh boy, aren't we going to have fun now."
As Bill began to move back into Twilight's body, a massive surge of energy radiated from Twilight's friends. "What's going on!?" As Bill scrambled to get back into Twilight's body, he was hit directly in the eye by the blast. "AAAAAHHH!!!"
"How are you doing this, you should be FROZEN!!" Bill snapped his fingers yet they seemed to have no effect, everyone was still frozen but the energy was still building up.
Princess Celestia smiled. "I don't know where you came from, Bill Cipher. But where we come from, we rely on the Magic of Friendship. And that is something even you can't defeat!"
Bill just shrugged. "Seems a little cliche to me." Bill shot his own blast of energy straight into Celestia, which hurt her pretty bad. Just then, Rainbow Dash shot out from the light and struck Bill in his eye once again. Applejack then came out and proceeded to whip Bill in his eye. Fluttershy gave him the stare which seemed to work this time and he was forced to the ground. Rarity proceeded to kick Bill in the eye while Pinkie used her Party Cannon to attack Bill.
"OKAY! OKAY!! I GET IT! THE MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP ALWAYS WINS! But that doesn't mean my magic doesn't..." Bill snapped his fingers one last time as Twilight's friends were sucked into the Nightmare Dimension.
"NO!!" Yelled Celestia, not knowing what to do now.
"Well, it looks like the tables have turned, Princess!! Sorry it had to end this way but you really left me no choice, did you!?" Bill was ready to destroy Celestia and take over Equestria.
Just then, as Twilight's friends were gone and it was just Celestia and Bill...Twilight opened her eyes. "Bill!" She said before standing up and with one last surge of energy, shot a beam of magic at Bill...
With one last surge of energy, Twilight shot one large beam of magic at Bill, knocking him over to the ground before he could react.
"NO! You shouldn't be awake! I need your body!" Bill snapped his fingers as a large portal opened up next to Celestia. "Do you want to see your precious Princess again, Twilight!? I won't bring any of them back unless YOU give up your mind to me again!"
Twilight realised that Bill had made a crucial mistake. "You do realise it's too late now, Bill. You really shouldn't have opened up that portal!" Twilight began to shoot magic into the portal that was now open. Bill realised what he had done and tried to close it but as long as Twilight's magic was pouring through the portal, it would not close.
"NO!! NOO!!!" Bill yelled. Twilight's friends were safely removed from the portal and were now ready for the final battle. "Fine, you can have your friends, but you shouldn't have done THAT!" Bill swiped his hand which caused Celestia to be sucked into the portal into the Nightmare Dimension. He then closed the portal to the other dimension.
"NO! You've really made one HUGE mistake now, Cipher!!" Twilight shot a massive amount of magic at Bill which he avoided quite easily. "Even after all of this, he's still too strong!"
"That's right! You can't defeat me, Twilight Sparkle. And before you know it, Equestria will be mine!!" Twilight shot once more, but to no avail. "HA HA! What a weak attempt. Let me show you how it's done! You can join your friends in the Nightmare Dimension!!" Bill opened yet another portal to his dimension and was ready to send Twilight there. "Goodbye, Twilight. IT WAS A PLEASURE DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU!!!"
"Twilight, think of something...QUICK!" Shouted Rainbow, as the portal grew.
Just then, Twilight had an Idea. It was a stupid, crazy idea, but it was all she had. "Rainbow, I'm gonna need you to strike on my signal. Everyone else, do whatever you can to get him into that portal!!"
"Wait, what about Celestia and the others!?" Shouted Rarity.
"Don't worry, I've got it covered! Just do what I told you and it will all work out...hopefully." Everyone agreed with Twilight's plan so it was time to end this. "HEY, BILL!" She yelled over the sound of the portal.
"What's wrong, Twilight? Are you gonna beg for your precious life? WELL, THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT NOW! I'VE MADE UP MY MIND!" Twilight just shook her head.
"Not quite. You just made another dumb mistake, Cipher, by opening that portal!" Twilight could only hope that this was going to work.
"What are you on about? I'm done with you!!" Bill was about to send them all through the portal when Twilight shot one last time at Bill, which directly struck his eye.
"NOW, RAINBOW!" Twilight yelled, as Rainbow Dash flew up to Bill as fast as lightning and proceeded to kick Bill directly into his eye as well. Bill was forced to the ground as Twilight nodded to Applejack. "APPLEJACK, BUCK, NOW!!" Applejack ran up to Bill and as per Twilight's instruction, bucked Bill as far as she could which launched him near to the portal.
"So this was your big plan after all? You do realise that getting rid of me, you won't see you Princesses again! I'm the only one who can bring them back!" Twilight pointed to the portal.
"Unless of course the portal is already open. It's kind of hard to miss!" Twilight used her magic to retrieve Celestia, then Luna and then the Royal Guard.
"Thank you, Twilight. Now, what do we do about this monster?" Celestia said. Twilight knew exactly what to do. She walked up to Bill.
"NO! No, please. Don't send me back there! You don't know what it's like in there!" Bill pleaded.
"Actually we do, and we know that it is exactly what you deserve for killing Spike and Starlight and trying to destroy Equestria." Luna pointed out. Twilight used the last of her magic to push Bill back into his own dimension.
"NOOO! I will find a way back! I swear!!" The portal closed up once Bill had dissapeared and everyone was safe.
With Bill gone, Ponyville was normal again, or at least as normal as it could be. Everything was silent as the Mane 6 stood, thinking as Twilight moved away from where the portal stood.
"It's really over, isn't it?" Twilight said with a sigh of relief.
"It certainly looks like everything is okay now, although I can't say the same for your castle." Celestia said. Rarity looked to Twilight.
"We'll help you remodel, darling!" Rarity offered. Twilight shook her head.
"Not right now. I never had the chance to think about Spike, or even Starlight. They're actually gone, it's a little hard to believe." Twilight sat down and began to weep. Celestia came to her.
"You can move on, Twilight. It's over now, and we will rebuild your castle. We will get through this." Celestia reassured Twilight. Twilight stood up and began to move.
"Thanks, Princess." Twilight knew everything would be alright even though she had lost two amazing friends. Bill was gone and she could move on, knowing that everything was alright now.
"I'm just glad no-one else in Ponyville noticed what happened.......somehow." Pinkie said.
