Moonbeam followed Spooniplier for what felt like hours, turning left and right so many times that her head began to completely melt.
"How exactly does she remember the way around this castle?" Moonbeam thought aloud, not realizing it until she couldn't take her words back.
"Well when you live here for many years, you'll eventually remember every single corridor of this castle." Spooniplier replied mindlessly.
"I guess that's true. Anyway, how close are we to what you want to show me?" Asked Moonbeam.
"Funny that you ask because we're here right now!" Spooniplier exclaimed as she lead Moonbeam through a door.
"Whoa!" Moonbeam exclaimed, absolutely in awe of what the room had in it.
There were all types of food working in a room with highly advanced technology that Moonbeam couldn't even comprehend without asking a million questions and the tapestries were even more beautiful than the past few rooms she had been in, which was saying a lot considering the sheer beauty of the castle.
"Now I know that there's a lot of technology that you've probably never seen before, and you may get to take a tour of the facility some day, but the thing that I wanted to show you is right next to the alchemy table over there." Spooniplier explained, stopping Moonbeam's thoughts completely where they started.
Spooniplier guided Moonbeam to a table with multiple beakers, most of which were completely different from what was in Equestria.
"Forkiplier, are you ready to do the thing?" Asked Spooniplier.
"I was afraid that you would ask that. I guess I'm ready." Forkiplier responded.
"Wait a minute! I didn't see you follow us on the way there Forkiplier. How exactly did you get here?" Moonbeam asked.
"Oh, I took the other route here. I don't like this one because it's too confusing." Forkiplier explained.
"So you're telling me that there's a less complicated way to get here?" Moonbeam asked, trying to get confirmation of Spooniplier's insanity.
"Yes." Forkiplier answered before he took a drink of a bluish-green liquid.
"Anyway," Spooniplier cut in "Forkiplier will be your weapon in this fight against Professor Pancake thanks to this shrinking potion."
Everyone was silent for a couple of moments before Forkiplier finally said something, smaller than he was before.
"Trust me, you'll be fine! I've never let anyone down before!" Forkiplier exclaimed.
"So you've done this before?" Moonbeam asked.
"I've been down this road a few times, but we've never had a critical win, just a win large enough to drive the Pancakes out of town." Forkiplier explained.
"That's fair enough. Anyway, the last question I have is where exactly am I going?" Moonbeam asked one last time.
"Just follow Forkiplier's directions and you'll get there perfectly fine." Spooniplier replied.
"Got it, Spooniplier! I'll be on my way... As soon as you show me where the door is." Moonbeam exclaimed, ready to go on an adventure that she'll never forget.
After about an hour of trying to listen to Forkiplier horrible directions and multiple encounters with a crazy blue pony who was extra soft, Moonbeam finally arrived at her destination.
"624 Floofy Avenue, the place we need to be to take down Professor Pancake!" Exclaimed Forkiplier.
"Well that took long enough! Now it's time for the hard part: diplomacy." Moonbeam responded.
"Are my ears completely full again or did you say 'diplomacy' just then?" Asked Forkiplier.
"Yes, I said diplomacy because I want to at least give it a try and go from there." Moonbeam explained.
"Well I guess you are the Pony of Legends, so anything's possible." Forkiplier conceded.
Moonbeam almost fell over with laughter when Forkiplier said "Pony of Legends," as the thought alone sounded ridiculous, but Moonbeam held it in and proceeded to knock at the door.
"Who's there?" Asked a voice at the other side of the door.
"Moonbeam."
"Yeah right, let me go-"
The voice cut out and all anyone could hear were the chirping crickets of the night.
"PROFESSOR, WE HAVE SOMEONE FOR YOU TO MEET!" The voice at the other side of the door yelled.
Suddenly the door opened, revealing a group of pancakes gathered around a fireplace.
"Come on in." The pancake at the door said in shock.
"Well look who we have here, it's the Pony of Legends and her friend Forkiplier. I've been expecting you." The biggest pancake in the room said.
"That right there's Professor Pancake, leader of the rest of the Pancakes." whispered Forkiplier.
"Welcome to my headquarters for the Pancake Alliance! I'm Professor Pancake and how exactly may I help you?" asked the big pancake.
"Well everyone in Foodtopia's really getting nervous about your headquarters being in town and they're wanting you to leave. I've even been sent by Spooniplier to drive you out of town and I was wondering if there was a way to get you to move out of town without war or not." Explained Moonbeam.
Professor Pancake thought about it for a while until he finally came up with an answer.
"Well there is the old Pancake Duel thing, but I'm assuming you don't want to go that route." The Professor replied.
"Well if that will work, what do I have to do?" asked Moonbeam.
Moonbeam's response broke Professor Pancake's mind and it was clear that he didn't know what to say for a while.
"It seems obvious, you need to fight me using your fork friend and if you defeat me, I send my troops out of here for good, but if you lose the battle, you die." Professor Pancake explained.
"I'm up for the challenge, no matter the costs." Moonbeam replied courageously.
"Are you crazy? If you die Moonbeam, the entire universe will turn into a big, floofy pancake!" Forkiplier responded.
"Really?" Asked Moonbeam.
"Yeah, it's depicted in the Book of Skulls!" exclaimed Forkiplier.
"Well then I guess I have no choice but to do this: I accept the challenge!" exclaimed Moonbeam.
"Okay, I'll get ready and then we'll start." Professor Pancake responded.
"Forkiplier, I hope you're ready to go into my mouth because that's what I'm going to have to do for this." Moonbeam explained to Forkiplier.
"Whatever you need me to do, Legend." Forkiplier replied as he got ready for the battle.
