Chapter 25 of the Last Way- The Final Battle
"Uh, what should I do to stop him, Twilight? Besides the elements!" asked Mario. "Use the stallion medallion. You can stop him with that. I have faith in you." said Twilight. "Alright then..." said Mario. With the power of the stallion medallion- Mario then turns himself into a peach colored pony with long brown hair. "Is that all the power you got? I can do that too if I wanted." said Anti-Mario, mocking Mario. With his gray stallion medallion, Anti-Mario then turns himself into a gray colored pony with long gray hair, while retaining his changeling wings. Suddenly, Mario and Anti-Mario both turn into big, giant pony beasts. "I am way stronger- I will defeat you! And rule Equestria!" argued Anti-Mario, the pony. "That's what you think, little brother." argued Mario, the pony. Suddenly, Mario then turns into his super form while still being a pony beast. "Can you do that?" said Mario, taunting Anti-Mario. Mario then tosses Anti-Mario to the ground with his super strength, and knocks him out, making Anti-Mario faint. However, Anti-Mario gets back up. "How about a deal- join me, and we'll take down Queen Chrysalis- little brother." said Anti-Mario, the pony, with an evil grin on his face. "First you wanna destroy me, now you want me to join you?! Ha! I don't think so. You don't even know what you want." said Mario, in seriousness. "That's right. Even if you are his little brother, Mario will never join the likes of you!" said Applejack, charging at Anti-Mario throwing apples at him. "Ow! I hate Apples!" yelled Anti-Mario, the pony. "Maybe we do need to use the Elements against you." taunted Twilight. "Yeah. It will teach you a lesson!" said Rarity. The mane six- even Rainbow Dash, charge at Anti-Mario, attacking him and turning him back to his original pony sized form. "You twerps can't stop me!" said Anti-Mario, as he turns into a pony beast again. "Chaos Control!" called out Shadow Flynn. Shadow Flynn aka CyberRainbowDark Ninja then uses Chaos Control, and stabs Anti-Mario in the back with a knife. "Ow! You hit me!" yelled Anti-Mario. "That's what you get for being such a bunghole. Ha! In your face. I am more powerful then you will ever be." taunting Shadow Flynn. "Here's the last laugh you'll be getting." said Discord, as he starts to using his chaotic powers against Anti-Mario. Anti-Mario gets Chocolate rain, messing up his mane, and then, Discord- along with Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie splatters chocolate cake onto him. "Grrrrrrr...You three are pathetic!" yelled Anti-Mario. "Well sorry, if the chocolate cake made you all, wet. Now you are gonna have to clean it all for being such a bad dude." said Pinkie, taunting Anti-Mario. "Grrrrr..." grunted Anti-Mario, in bitter anger. "I- the Great and Powerful Trixie, will make you disappear by sawing you in half." said Trixie, announcing her magic trick that she will perform against Anti-Mario. Trixie then teleports Anti-Mario inside the saw machine. "No, no. Please! I'll help you!" pleaded Anti-Mario."Too late." said Trixie. Trixie then uses the blue ball of energy from her horn, cuts Anti-Mario through the middle with the saw and poof! Anti-Mario has disappeared. He vanished into thin air for a 60 seconds until Anti-Mario magically made himself appear again, this time in his regular grayscale Sonic Plush form. "I'll make you all pay for this!" yelled Anti-Mario. Anti-Mario then bites Rarity and almost sucks her blood, like a vampire, except killing her but luckily Rarity stopped him doing that. "Get away you creep! You are such a horrible being!" yelled Rarity. "Fuck you Rarity! You and your five friends are nothing but pure weaklings, gay weeaboos." said Anti-Mario. "Excuse me?! How dare you call my girlfriend Rarity such insults! That's it! You will be banished forever in Tartarus!" yelled Shadow Flynn. Anti-Mario then uses his gray stallion medallion and turns into a pony again. Mario then turns back into his regular pony form, no beast and no super. "Alright, we will use the Elements of Harmony to stop him, but me and Shadow Flynn will combine this killer move with a chaos blast attack. And spare him. Believe me, I want him to be redeemed and not for him to suffer such a horrible punishment." said Mario. "I agree with your decision, Mario. He is possible to redeem." said Twilight. "Then let's do this." said Shadow Flynn. "On it." said Shadow Doll. The Elements of Harmony then appear, and look like they are going to stop Anti-Mario. "You may have compassion and understanding towards others, but there's one thing you don't have- the power of Friendship!" said Twilight, as she is about to use the Elements against Anti-Mario. "Chaos BLAST!" said Mario and Shadow Flynn together. The Elements of Harmony, combined with Chaos Blast, defeat Anti-Mario, hurt him and restore everything back to normal in Equestria. Mario turns back into his regular Sonic Plush form, same goes for Anti-Mario. Even the three princesses- Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and Princess Cadance. Only one exception is that Anti-Mario is beaten, badly injured with scars on his face.
Mario's POV
I am just relieved that Equestria is back to normal and in peace. Our battle against Anti-Mario has been a quick defeat. "I'm...sorry. I was so cruel, evil and violent. I am willing to change and use my powers for good. I apologize, and I admit to my mistakes..." said Anti-Mario. "It's okay, Anti-Mario. We forgive you." I said, accepting Anti-Mario's apology. "Yeah. Besides, we made mistakes in the past. I believe that you are willing to change. Just look at Discord for crying out loud! He changed, and he was evil." said Rainbow Dash. "Exactly." said Discord. "I don't trust you yet, but whatever..." said Shadow Flynn. "Well, at least the evil that was inside Anti-Mario is no more." said Spike, in relief. "Yeah. You can say that again, Spike." said Trixie. "We all forgive you, Anti-Mario. Just don't go crazy on us again." said Rarity. "Agreed. Anti-Mario's willing to change so I say we have to forgive him." said Applejack. "You still have a lot to learn about Friendship though." said Twilight. "But...I never had friends. I don't know the first thing about friend-" said Anti-Mario, before he got cut off by me. "We will be your friends, Anti-Mario. I'm not just your older brother, but also, starting today you will be my friend. You will get used to Friendship, I know it." I said. "I'm surprised that you are even saying that... You aren't royalty or the Prince of Friendship or anything, right?" said Fluttershy. "Maybe I am, or maybe I'm not." I said, lying. "I promise that from now on- I will be a good guy." said Anti-Mario. "That's awesome!" said Rainbow Dash. Princess Celestia then comes over to use with Luna and Cadance. "You did excellent out there, Mario. Same goes for you all as well, even Shadow Flynn. You helped defeat Anti-Mario in that end, and even managed to redeem him. However...Anti-Mario is the real suspect behind what had been going on here, I'll have to put him in Ponyville Jail for one day." said Princess Celestia. "You're coming with me, Anti-Mario." said Celestia, as she and her guards drag Anti-Mario. "I will see you in one day, Mario." said Anti-Mario. "You bet." I said, with a smile. Luna and Cadance then follow Celestia and her guards, with the dragged Anti-Mario. Then they all left. "Well, Anti-Mario is only having a one day punishment at least..." I said, in relief. "I know." said Twilight. "Speaking of which, shouldn't you two be getting home to Earth by now?" asked Shadow Flynn. "Ah yes!" I said. "Well, I am coming home with you as well. I live on Earth, not Equestria." said Shadow Flynn. "We know." I said.
Suddenly, Discord then opens a portal for me, Twilight and Shadow Flynn to go home. But Shadow Flynn decides to say goodbye to me first, as he brings out his motorcycle. "Well, it's been nice seeing you again, Mario. You are a cool friend to have..." said Shadow Flynn. "Well, cya back at home, Shadow. Bye for now." I said. "Hey! You'll be seeing me again in a day from now." said Shadow Flynn. "It's great meeting you all..." said Shadow Flynn. "I wouldn't want it any other way, Shadow." said Twilight. "Yeah. Exactly, Cyber!" said Rarity. "Bye, cya!" said Spike. Me and Shadow Flynn do a fist bump, then Shadow Doll hops on the motorcycle with Shadow Flynn driving it, going inside the portal back to Earth. "So, are you coming with me, Twilight?" I asked. "Of course I am!" said Twilight. "I love you, Twilight." I said. "I love you too, Mario." said Twilight. Me and Twilight then kiss each other and make out. "Well, we should be going now..." said Twilight. "No! Twilight! Please, don't go! We need you!" said Pinkie, crying. "Yeah, stay with us. Don't leave our side." said Rainbow, crying. "We are going to miss you, Twi." said Applejack, crying. "No! Don't leave! No!" said Fluttershy, crying. "Yeah. You are a mother to me. I knew you for almost my entire life. Why would you leave me, behind?!" said Spike, crying. "We respect your decision and all, darling- but it's not going to be the same without you." said Rarity, crying. Trixie and Discord are in utter silence at the sight of Twilight leaving, and are crying. "Don't worry. We will come and visit you guys, and maybe even bring you to Earth with us as soon as me and Mario get there." said Twilight. "Yeah. It's not like you won't be seeing Twilight again, cause you will." I said. "I know...still it won't feel the same without her with us for a while." said Spike, still crying a little. "It was nice meeting you all. You are all interesting friends, especially you Discord." I said. "Same here, Mario." said Fluttershy. "We have some much in common, and you taught me some things, not going to lie." said Discord. "Yeah. Of course we'll visit you back on Earth, or maybe even stay there!" said Pinkie. "And I'll get to spend more time with Anti-Mario, hopefully." said Rainbow Dash. "You totally have a crush on him." I said, teasing Rainbow. "No I don't!" yelled Rainbow, blushing. "Whatever." I said. Before we leave, I give Discord a fist bump, and me and Twilight hug our 9 friends- the rest of the mane six, Spike, and Discord. "Well, goodbye." said Twilight. "Cya later then." I said. Me and Twilight then step foot in the portal to Earth, leaving Equestria behind once and all.
A day later, at 11:00 AM, me and Twilight then arrive back at my house on Earth from the portal. In the living room, me and Twilight see my parents Lara and Tony, smiling...and crying in happy tears, that I have returned to them, for real this time. "Hi. Mom…Dad." I said. "Oh. My Mario….We have missed you so much honey, just where have you gone for the past three years?" said Lara, as she runs up to hug me- her son, crying happy tears. "Yeah. We are so happy to see that you have came back, Mario. We thought you were dead, son." said Tony, crying happy tears a little. "It's a long story. Let's just say that I was in Equestria- a land full of a magical talking ponies. You might not think it does exist, but it does. Anti-Mario took me there." I said. My mom Lara then stops hugging me. "We're just glad you are okay." said Tony. "Oh, really? I don't believe it. You are just making up things. Equestria doesn't exist, and it's just in a cartoon- fairy tale stuff." said Lara, denying Equestria's existence and pretending that she never has been there when in reality, she has. "Yeah. That stuff is pure fucking fiction. There is no such thing as magical talking horses!" yelled Tony, denying Equestria's existence and pretending that he never has been there when in reality, he has. "Oh yes there is. I have proof. See it for yourself." I said. Suddenly, Twilight shows her face to my parents. "Hi there. My name is Twilight Sparkle." said Twilight, introducing herself to my parents. My parents Lara and Tony have a shocked reaction when they first see Twilight. "Oh my…So Equestria is real after all!" said Lara, shocked. "Shit! I must be seeing things! I'm drunk, how is there a fucking multicolored magical talking horse in this house?! This shit doesn't make any sense!" said Tony. "Tony, I don't think you are seeing things…" said Lara. "Oh no…please don't tell me that this horse is-" said Tony, before getting cut off. "Yes. She's my girlfriend. Twilight Sparkle IS my girlfriend!" I said, in a very loud voice to where the entire neighborhood can hear it. "Ugh. You are dating a magical talking horse! This fucking sucks, my son is dating a horse!" yelled Tony. "Hey! She isn't just a horse….she's a pony, but my very special girlfriend. She's still human like everyone of us on Earth." I said. "Honey, we don't know what to say. Of course your eventual girlfriend is not what we expected her to be, but we don't care. You and Twilight are different in species, and I believe that's what makes a true couple. As long as you are happy with her, that's all it matters." said Lara, crying happy tears. My mom Lara stopped crying happy tears. "Hey! Where is Anti-Mario anyways? Haven't you seen him?" asked Lara. "He's gone…for now anyways." said Twilight. "Oh." said Lara. "As crazy as it sounds, Twilight was the one that made my wish on my birthday to call you and Dad to let you know that I'm okay" I said. "Really? She did?" asked Lara. "Yes, Miss Lara. I did. I looked after Mario when he was with me back in Equestria." said Twilight. "Thank you…for looking after my son." said Lara, crying happy tears. "Not a problem." said Twilight. My dad Tony didn't pay attention to any of that and just goes to get more cans of beer. Me and Twilight are holding hands, as we walk to the front door, waiting for Shadow Flynn to arrive. The first voice I hear outside is Anti-Mario's. "Hey! Mario! Wazzup?!" said Anti-Mario from outside the window, riding on his own motorcycle. "Let's go outside." I said. "Yeah we minus well." said Twilight. Me and Twilight then go outside to see Anti-Mario… the new and truly reformed Anti-Mario anyways, the little brother I wanted. Anti-Mario then gets off the motorcycle like a badass leather jacket bully, and takes off his helmet like a pro. "Yo! Wazzup homie?" said Anti-Mario, acting too cool. "Oh, nothing much." I said. "How was it in Ponyville Jail, Anti-Mario?" asked Twilight. "Oh…absolutely horrible. I'll talk about it later. Ugh! It was that fucked up!" said Anti-Mario, speaking negatively about the prison he was in. Suddenly, a second later- Shadow Flynn then arrives outside my house and gets off his motorcycle, with his 'shadow' Shadow Doll. "Hey! Mario." said Shadow Flynn. "Shadow Flynn!" I said. Me and Shadow Flynn fist bump each other. "Oh hey, Twilight." said Shadow Flynn. "Hi Shadow! Long time no see!" said Twilight. "Guess who's with me?" asked Shadow Flynn. Suddenly, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Discord, Spike and Trixie mysteriously pop out. "it's our friends!" I said. "Oh my god! Rarity! Pinkie! Rainbow! Fluttershy! Applejack! All of you! You guys…." said Twilight, running up and hugging her five friends. Then she hugs Discord, Trixie and Spike. A second later, Twilight stops hugging them. "Yeah and this time, we are moving in Mario's house, which is where you are going to live in! We don't want to be without ya, you know." said Applejack. "Yeah. I mean come on? You are our best friend, Twilight!" said Rarity. Rarity and Shadow Flynn are blushing at each other. "Come on, let's all go inside. I want to introduce of you pony folks to my parents" I said. Ryuga is there, much to my dismay. But we didn't care. He's on Team Shadow…for now anyways so it's whatever. Me, Anti-Mario, Twilight, Shadow Flynn, his 'shadow' Shadow Doll, Trixie, Discord, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy and Spike- along with Ryuga go back inside my house and we decided to go downstairs. Well, this is a new chapter of my life- back at home, in Medford…
Aurora's POV
I am standing in the middle of the sidewalk on the road….Just seeing Shadow Flynn with all of his friends, most not from this world, and even with his new girlfriend Rarity- makes me feel really jealous inside. I want to see him again, I have to. I miss Shadow, and I think about him every day I said. However, he moved on from me and found a new love interest. Oh, I feel so upset and devastated. I was not there for him for 5 years. He probably forgot about me by now. The last time me and Shadow saw each other was when we graduated from the academy in June 2015. Yeah, blame my Mom for making me a busy girl. The absence of my Dad and everything after the divorce is hitting her, especially since my father, who my mom told me was a evil vampire, stopped paying child support and Alimony, so I have to take care of her. My older sister Eliza could have taken care of my mom but she moved out a few years ago and joined a team. "My Shadow Flynn…I still love you! I'll go and see you again! I will! I have never forgotten about you! I'll find you, no matter how risky it is, I want to see you again, baby. I have feelings for you, Shadow- I do… I will see you again! I promise!" I said, crying my eyes out.
