//------------------------------// // Defeating the Clones/ Ending // Story: Mirror, mirror in the Ruins... // by Majestical4729 //------------------------------// "We so should have checked the mirror first, Twilight!" Rainbow Dash's clone scolded Twilight's. The clones' eyes were the same as their originals', this time. And obviously, Twilight's clone freed the other clones after Fluttershy and Angel escaped. "Yeah, with her knowing that we're clones and her real friends are trapped in the mirror, the mirror that trapped them is probably where she's gone to." Applejack's clone added. "I'm so sorry my evil reflection friends," Twilight's clone apologised, but obviously had no remorse in her tone, "But I thought that such a scaredy-pony like her would have ran into a place that she believed that we would least expect..." Suddenly aloud and high-pitched, terrified-sounding scream could be heard, followed by a loud "NO!" "Sounds like she's in trouble," Twilight's clone smirked, before leading the clones to where the sound must had come from. The clones burst into the chamber where the magic mirror was, only to find it gone, to their shock as they let out a loud gasp while looking at Fluttershy, who was on the other side of an old, ragged carpet on the floor. "Well hello my evil pony friends," the yellow pegasus with light pink mane greeted, "That last pony really was the last. Last to be a prisoner in the mirror!" "Speaking of the mirror..." Rarity's clone began, before asking in a dramatic and angry tone, "WHERE IS IT?!" "You mean that old mirror that's keeping those real ponies imprisoned?" Fluttershy asked in reply, "Huh! I figured that the best way to make sure no pony finds it, nor them, is to hide it." "You what?!" Pinkie's clone asked. "Have you lost your mind?! We needed that mirror to make more evil clones of ponies here in this world, for evil sake!" Applejack's clone scolded, as she and the others angrily approached Fluttershy by walking towards her at the same time. "Oh, really?! Too bad you weren't around to tell me before I hid it..." Fluttershy asked, before using her front hooves to remove the carpet when the clones were in the places where she wanted them to be: With their hooves or feet (in Spike's clone's case) right on top of the mirror. On the other side of the mirror, the prisoners were aware of what was happening outside. "Twilight, look!" Spike pointed at the mirror. "I got my clone!" Pinkie Pie told the others, grabbing the said clone with her front hooves and pulling the clone into the mirror while coming out of the mirror herself. "Pinkie Pie!" Fluttershy cried, happy to see her real friend back again. "Did you just see that?!" the Rainbow Dash clone asked the other clones, just before they were all grabbed by the real ponies (dragon in Spike's clone's case) and placed back into the mirror world where they belonged, with their last words being, "NO!!!" "Fluttershy!" Twilight cried. "Twilight! Rarity! Rainbow Dash! Applejack! Spike!" Flutterhsy cried happily, as she hugged her best friends in a group hug, "I'm so glad to have all of you back! The real you!" "We're glad to be back, too." Applejack honestly added. "We knew it! We knew you could save us!" Pinkie Pie cheered, giving Fluttershy a tight hug. "Can you please stop hugging, Pinkie?" Fluttershy asked. "Whoops, sorry," Pinkie Pie quickly apologised. "Sorry to break this party, every pony, but what about the mirror that created those awful clones of us?" Spike asked, pointing at the said mirror. "More like awful doppelgängers of us!" Rainbow Dash corrected. "Doesn't matter what we call them, we got to make sure that they never get a chance to replace us ever again!" Twilight insisted. "And make sure that this horrid mirror never creates a clone again!" Rarity added. "But how are we going to do that?" Fluttershy asked. The next thing they knew, the Mane Six and Spike had the mirror turned to its back facing them, while the front facing the wall. They then blocked the mirror's back with old cabinets, barrels , crates and objects. "That'll make sure that no pony gets to see that horrible mirror, for as long as it's this way!" Applejack announced. "I'm so sorry every pony," Twilight apologised, "We'd never go thorugh any of this if it weren't for me...coming here for a campout was my idea after all..." "Don't worry Twilight, we all know that you didn't mean for the trouble," Fluttershy assured. "Yeah, you didn't know that there was this crazy mirror that makes evil clones out of reflections and all here," Rainbow Dash added. "But you had a good intention of finding clues to the keys to the chest," Rarity added. "And most importantly, we are all A-okay now!" Pinkie Pie cheered. "Right, we're all alright now," Twilight replied, before turning to Fluttershy, "Especially thanks to you, Fluttershy. For saving us from the mirror." "Actually, you got to thank Angel, he came up with the ideas." Fluttershy informed, holding up her pet bunny. "Thank you, Angel." Twilight thanked with a smile on her face. The rest of the ponies thanked Angel as well, even the non-pony Spike joined the thanking. "Angel appreciates your thanks," Fluttershy told her best friends. "Alright every pony, that's enough ruins exploring and camping for us. Why don't we all head back home to Ponyville?" Twilight suggested, which the others agreed, as they followed her walking out of the chamber to get their things and head to their destination.
