“Alright, everyone,” Twilight spoke up. “The last plan of attack didn’t work, so we need to think of another one.”

“But she has the Armor of Invincibility!” Fighter countered, suddenly getting right up in Twilight’s face, with his arms in the air. “If you wear the Armor of Invincibility then you’re invincible, and you can’t be beaten if you’re invincible, and since it’s called the Armor of Invincibility, then it does make you invincible, since it wouldn’t be called that otherwise, which means that she is invincible, which means that we can’t beat her.”

Twilight just put her hoof to his face and gently pushed him to the side. She then turned towards Black Mage. “Could you please tell me exactly what this Armor of Invincibility is and how Fighter knows about it.”

“Please don’t ask,” Black Mage responded. “The less I know about the stupid armor of stupid invincibility, the easier it will be for me to deny that Fighter was in any way right about it.”

Twilight just let out a sigh at Black Mage not answering. “Well, anyway, we still need a plan of attack and we need one now, and it’s not like a solution is just going to appear out of thin air!”

*Poit*

The sudden interruption seemed to snap Twilight out of her angry rant, now just looking confused. Looking over in the direction in which she had heard the strange sound, she saw what looked like a strange shimmering portal. The portal was spherical in appearance. It was a bit wavy around the edges as it shimmered in place. The portal was white, with small waves of all the colours of the rainbow within it, and was about five trees wide.

“Poit? What kind of sound is that?” Twilight wondered aloud.

“I know what,” Black Mage answered. “And this is either going to be really good or really bad.”

“See, what did I tell you, White Mage? With just, a few basic necessities, a practical understanding of portal magic, and a complete disregard for the laws of dimensional and inter-dimensional physics, creating portals between realities is as easy as min/maxing your character sheet for maximum effectiveness, using a vigorous knowledge of animal husbandry.”

“Yes, Red Mage, you made that abundantly clear, in the sense that I couldn’t understand a single word of it.” White Mage answered as the two of them stepped out of the portal.

“Yup, called it exactly.” BM deadpanned.
