        Luffy quickly drew back his hoof, only to see that Blaze had once again disappeared into the flames. “Darn!”

        “It’s not her body that we need to beat, its the flames,” Luna postulated.

        “Yeah we need t—” Luffy was interrupted by another fit of coughing. 

        “Straw Hat!” Luna started flying straight at the flames. “We can’t stay in here any longer!”

        “You’re not going anywhere!” Blaze’s voice echoed throughout the fire sphere. Suddenly, all the flames in the sphere went black. Out of the wall opposite of where Luna had been headed, the flames surged and flailed wildly, as if gasoline had been poured on them. Their roar solidified into a terrible rumbling that even shook the ground. It stopped becoming the raging noise of a blaze and turned into an animalistic growl.

        The black flames gathered in the spot where the growl was coming from, turning the rest of the sphere back to regular flames. Luna noticed a brief distortion in the flames and saw a speck of blue through them. She turned back to Luffy. “Straw Hat! She’s taken all the power reinforcing the flames into herself!”

        “It’s the only way to finish you!” roared the black flames. They converged more and started flaring out of the regular flames. The flames spiralled up and became a dark and crooked horn. Two hollow points in the flames appeared and were filled with a blazing white fire in contrast to the rest of the blaze. Finally, the rest of the flames shot out to form an enormous muzzle. “You’re not the only one that can manipulate your size!” 

        Suddenly, Blaze’s giant head started racing at the Luna and Luffy. “Die!”

        No! Luna thought in a panic. I won’t be able to dodge!

        However, Luffy kept determined eyes on the Blaze’s attack. He took some ragged breaths and then said to Luna, “I need you to launch me at her.”

        “What?!” She rapidly turned her head to meet Luffy’s eyes. “No! You’ll burn to a crisp before even touching her!”

        “Don’t you have a spell or something?”

        “It... it took too much magic to...” Luna’s eyes widened. “I have one thing to use.”

        “Rah!” Blaze yelled as she barreled at them.

        “Then do it!” Luffy screamed.

        “Hold on!” Luna dashed at incalculable speed toward Blaze. Luffy took a deep breath and the air in his hoof shifted until it came to rest in his torso. At the same time, Luna’s form started glowing and dispersed into a thick mist that clung tightly to Luffy.

        “Woah!” Luffy exclaimed.

        “This will take up the rest of my magic,” said the mist from all around Luffy. “But if it saves my sister, it’ll be worth it!”

        “I hear ya!” Luffy yelled back. He then focused back on Blaze. “Gum-Gum...”

        “Burn!” Blaze yelled. Luffy, encompassed in Luna’s mist, was rushing at her with blinding speed.

        “Lunar Impact!” Luffy screamed. They collided and Blaze’s eyes seemed to almost pop out of her head. She let out a large gasp as the air was beat out of her. However, her eyes regained their composure and she looked down at the giant pony that was smashing into her muzzle.

        “N-no! I will not be beaten by scum!” Blaze quivered.

        “Keep pushing!” Luffy said to Luna.

        “Sister!” Luna screamed. “If you can hear me then wake up!”

        Blaze’s entire form shuddered as Luna put even more power into her mist. Blaze’s head slammed into the flames and with one final push from both Luna and Luffy, she was pushed out of the flames. She was reverted to her pony form and the flames covering her body were flickering and sputtering. 

        “Damn it!” she huffed. “Where... where are they!?”

        “Right here,” came a female voice. 

        Blaze slowly looked down only to be met with Twilight Sparkle and her friends glaring up at her. All the Elements were affixed to them and glowing with magic.

        Next to them stood Shining Armor, still aflame, but back to normal size with his irises and pupils back as well. His horn was aglow with magic. Next to him stood Cadance. She had a few burn marks along her coat, but other than that she seemed fine. Her horn was lit up as well.

        “Your highness,” said Armor. “It’s over.”
