After a good few minutes of pummelling Black Mage, Twilight eventually finished up and walked away, back over towards her friends. After everything that she had been put through lately because of him, it was very therapeutic.
When Twilight was finished venting her feelings, Fighter walked over to Black Mage’s not-quite-yet-a-corpse. “You still alive, best buddy?”
“Somehow.” BM said, slowly getting back to his feet.
Wanting to get everything back on track again quickly, and now that she had sufficiently calmed down, Twilight took in a deep breath before addressing the room. “So, now that we’re back on track, does anypony…”
“Anybody.” Fighter corrected.
“Anybody.” Twilight slightly less begrudgingly corrected. “Have any ideas of what we can do next concerning Nightmare Moon and/or getting Fighter and Black Mage home, and please try to make it quick, without any unnecessary tan…” Eye twitch. “…distractions.”
While the room was silent for a moment, with everyone trying to come up with a plan, eventually, it was Fluttershy who spoke up. “Uhhmm, I think I might have an idea.”
“Well, let’s hear it then, Fluffershuffle.” Black Mage said.
“Uhhmm, it’s Fluttershy.”
“I know what your name is!” BM shouted out, with his arms in the air.
Taking a moment to let out a sigh first, Fluttershy then walked into the middle of the room where everyone could see her and simply said, “Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start.”
“KONAMI!” Discord shouted out, suddenly appearing in a flash of light. “Heh, heh, heh” he chuckled. “That was fun. I wish we could have used our magical alarm sooner. So, what’s the emergency?”
While the room was reeling from the new character’s sudden appearance, Twilight quickly dinged in realization. “Oh, I get it. Discord is the Spirit of Chaos and Disharmony, so he’ll be able to detect any magical imbalance and help us find Nightmare Moon. Good thinking, Fluttershy.”
This made Fluttershy blush.
Black Mage simply stared at the creature that had appeared, with a pony head, deer antler, goat horn, snake tongue, goat beard, lion paw, eagle claw, lizard leg, goat leg, bat wing, pegasus wing, serpentine body, and a snake tail floating right in front of him.
“Wait, this is the ultimate evil in your world? Hell, the damn thing would be cute if it wasn’t so hideous. The twelve thousand hells have things in their rubbish pile more intimidating than this thing.”
“I thought there were only ten thousand Hells.” Fighter chimed in.
“They had to add more recently due to the influx of souls in the afterlife. As it turns out, deep down, people really are bad on the inside, more prone to evil, and doomed to an afterlifetime of eternal torment. At least Hell doesn’t have ridiculously high standards to get into. Being evil is way easier.”
*Beat*
“Fun too.”
