“Okay,” Black Mage started, facing Fighter, while gesturing to the dead unicorn corpse behind him. “We’ve got a dead body just lying around in the middle of the forest, and the authorities will no doubt send out search teams soon to find and apprehend the monsters responsible and sentence them to a karmic and justified death. I don’t know, or care about you, but I want to be as far away from here as possible when they get here, so let’s proceed to run away from here like scared little forest elves.”
“Y’goiven.”
The next moment, Black Mage suddenly found himself being lifted up, and when he opened his eyes, he was hanging from a nearby tree, in far more pain than it looked like.
As soon as he realized what had happened, Black Mage suddenly looked from side to side, and started thinking about what just happened. “Well let’s see now: I said the words ‘scared little forest elves’ and now I’m hanging by my underwear, from a low hanging tree branch, and…” He quickly patted the pockets of his robes. “Yep, my wallet’s gone too. Clearly there is only one explanation for what just happened. Fighter?”
“Yo.”
“Thief is somehow standing just behind me right now, isn’t he?” Black Mage predicted.
“No,” Fighter responded. “Actually there’s no one there at all.”
*Beat*
“Oh, he’s good.” Black Mage said. “He doesn’t even have to be in the same world as me to screw me over. Oh well; Captain Stupid?”
“Yo.” Fighter responded again.
“Come over here and cut me down.”
“Sure thing, buddy.” Fighter walked over to the tree, unsheathed his sword and cut BM down from the branch that was holding him.
“Thanks.” Black Mage said, picking himself up. He then turned to the left side of the screen, and then turned his head back to face Fighter. “Alright, now to pick up from where I left off; let’s start running away from here.”
“Like scared little forest elves!” Fighter suddenly blurted out, with his arms up in the air.
Suddenly Black Mage was tripped up and fell face first to the forest floor. “Oh now that’s just not fair.”
You are a godamn genius and someone needs to make a sprite comic of this! Also it would not surprise me if thief manages to steal his way here and red Mage puts skill points into portal making
Alright, let's see: The plot makes no sense, the characters are horribly one dimensional, the jokes are stupid, and I've facepalmed at least twice per chapter. Yup, this is a good recreation of one of my favorites. Have an upvote, fav, and cookie.
4755354 this is pretty much 8 bit theatre in a nutshell isn't it?
4755523 That, and BM being the punching bag of the universe.
...I just had the most frightening thought: Fighter meets Pinkie Pie.
4755545 I just flinched in fear, it's going to be like the Cornelia guard again
4757838 well it is 8 bit theatre, did you expect competence from the characters?
4755296 And white mage would probably show up to prevent the four from destroying, stealing, twinking, and stupiding the universe into non-existence. And potentially fall victim to the terrifying white mageXblack mage ship that would leave our minds horribly scarred. Also I just finished reading 8-bit theatre in its entirely. Now I'm sad because I have run out of things to do the moment I post this comment.
I'm doing something just like this! Except with less cutsey ponies and more grimdark ... Dark... Elves... Girmdarkelves.
4759564 and somehow they will scar that poor kid even more
God I hope it's not just fighter and black Mage
Will Rainbow Dash be beating anybody up in this story? Is Black Mage still a Butt Monkey?

That's like asking if Twilight is smart. It's such a part of their character, it wouldn't even be them if that trait isn't present.

I already have several ideas for future chapters, but I have to deal with the next chapter first.
Also, a please would be nice.
