Epilogue: Fourth Wall Demolition

Author's Note: Just a little, fun explanation of this fic ... with Pony Cosplay, for those readers who know FMA but didn't get the MLP references.

Envy: (still dressed in its 'Fluttershy' outfit) Hey Lust, why am I still dressed like this?

Lust: (in a purple wizard's robe with a matching pointy hat, a magenta starburst where her Ouroboros would usually be, a magenta streak in her more purplish-than-usual hair) Because we're supposed to be illustrating just how similar we are to the citizens of Equestria who hold the Elements of Harmony.

Envy: We're what?

Lust: (sighs, and tosses Gluttony – dressed in a full-body purple and green dragon costume – a few shiny rocks to eat). Well, when Discord messed up their personalities in the show, the ponies started acting like ... well, like how we usually act.

Envy: What the ... talking ponies? Okaaay, have you been hitting Father's secret stash of Stones again? (as its voice rises, the wing pattern on Envy's back reveals itself to be actual wings, and it starts hovering) Oh, hey, these things work? Cool!

Lust: As I was saying, one of the ponies, Fluttershy, represented the Element of Kindness. When she was corrupted, she started acting in the opposite way, acting cruel, much like how you act, Envy. That's actually what gave the writer the idea for this story.

Envy: (not listening) Pride, do yours work too?

Lust: (continuing) Rainbow Dash represented the Element of Loyalty. With Discords' influence or not, it's not that much of a stretch for that to evolve into Pride.

Pride: (surrounded by rainbow-coloured shadows, a pair of sky-blue wings growing out of his back. He nods) I guess that makes sense. Hey Envy, tag! You're it! (the two Pegasus-homunculi start chasing each other around the Lair)

Greed: (in a white shirt and purple pants, a diamond pattern on one of his rear pockets, his spiky hair turned purple, watches his siblings fly, especially the rainbow shadows trailing behind Pride) And I didn't think your shadows could get any creepier ... Hey Lust, do me next!

Lust: It's not that kind of show, Greed, no matter what some rather disturbed Bronies might think. But yeah, you're pretty easy to figure out. The opposite of Greed is Rarity's Element of Generosity, after all.

Wrath: (interrupting, wearing a cowboy hat, blue overalls and an orange and yellow plaid shirt with an apple-shaped bolo tie) And I guess I would be the opposite of Applejack, and her Element of Honesty, wouldn't I, oh so "magical" Twilight Sparkle?

Lust: (nods) I had no idea you liked that show too.

Wrath: I happen to appreciate works of fiction that put so much effort into relevant and entertaining plots.

Envy: (flutters back down), Aren't we missing someone?

Lust: Of course! How could I forget Sloth? The word "sloth" can also refer to sorrow, as well as laziness, so the opposite of that is obviously Laughter, as represented by ...

Sloth: (dressed head to toe in bubblegum pink, carrying a bunch of balloons) Pinkie Pie ... I feel pretty.

Greed: ... this is &%$# % up. Hey wait, can't Rarity sense nearby valuables?

Envy: Greed's a Bronie too, hah hah!

Greed: It's a good show, what can I say? Aannnndd yoink! (Wrath's wallet starts to float towards Greed) Woot! Fürher's platinum card!

Wrath: (snatches the wallet back before it can reach Greed) Well, as least we're the Mane Six – Seven, counting Spike-Gluttony. It could always be worse.

Up above, in Central City/Ponyville

Winry: (in yellow cargo pants with a bright red tube top, a huge red bow in her hair - Apple Bloom) Come on, Ed!

Alphonse: (his armour white, with his "hair" coloured pink and purple, his helmet spike replaced by a unicorn's horn - Sweetie Belle) Yeah, brother! We've got to go get our Cutie Marks! I mean, our bodies back!

Edward: (his usually red coat is now orange, with the Flanel replaced by two tiny wings, his hair dyed magenta - Scootaloo) I don't want my Cutie Mark! Whose idea was this?! This sucks! Why am I reduced to a Cutie Mark Crusader? This show's called Fullmetal Alchemist for a reason! I'm supposed to be the star!

Alphonse: (sweatdrop) Brother, stop ranting.

Ed: I'm not ranting!

Fade to black, with the last few strands of the MLP themes song playing in the distance.
