TRM!!! Oh I am so glad to see you!
Hello Brides, you got one of those pretty ponies for me to ride?
Oh great, not those guys again. They aren't exactly fond of me. Anyone have a weapon I can borrow. I have a feeling this might not go to plan. You do have a plan, don't you?

Bobby Sue starts taking shots with her left-handed pistol but tosses the other to Mai with her right hand. "Here, sweetie!" Each accurate shot takes an opponent down. Bobby Sue draws a third pistol.
"They're surrounding us!" Deuce calls.
"Right!" says TheRealMe. "Of course there's a plan, Mai, I'm working on it right now! Let's see..."
"Work FASTER!" Ace yells as she maneuvers her pifflepony to expertly hack at a nearby enemy with her katana.
"Yes!" TheRealMe helps Mai up on a spare golden colored pifflepony. "Mai, you ride Honey. We're going to make a break for it. Bride1 and Bride2, use your blades to carve us a path back to the portal we popped out of. Bride6, keep shooting those behind to discourage pursuit. Ervin..."
Ervin the Yeti grabs a handful of five or six opponents, lifts them over his head, and with a terrifying howl tosses them into a mob of their fellows.
"Sure, that works." TheRealMe mounts up. "Ready? Let's go!"

Thanks Bobby Sue!
*shoots frantically at the angry mob
Oooh a pretty pony! Mai climbs onto Honey's back and moments later she rears up and clobbers a few attackers with her hooves.
Good girl, Honey. Let's go home!

TheRealMe, Mai, and the three Brides ride off on their piffleponies, galloping hard to reach the dimensional portal that leads back to the Sereni-Tree. Ace and Deuce go first, slashing with their blades to clear a way. Bobby Sue is last, turned completely backwards on Prudence and blazing away with both pistols at their pursuers.
"Wait!" calls Mai. "What about Ervin? We've left him behind."
"I know," says TheRealMe. "That's a part of the plan I'm still working on."
"The furball's too big for a pifflepony!" says Ace as she slashes ahead of her again.
"Trouble ahead!" warns Deuce.
Surrounding the portal is a large band of opponents, ready to repel them.
But the problem is solved. The piffleponies tear into the opposition with fierce violence, tearing them apart with sharp teeth and pounding hooves. Just before impact, Deuce launches herself high into the air, spins in a few somersaults, and lands behind the opponents, slicing. It is over quickly. The piffleponies stop amidst the carnage, and their remaining riders slide off their backs to the gound. "Piffleponies of the Apocolypse!" TheRealMe whispers. Bobby Sue is still shooting at other opponents.
TheRealMe reaches out a hand. "Now to save Ervin! Brides, stand ready!" A dimensional portal opens right next to him while simultaneously, another opens far in the distance where Ervin is running to catch up. Ervin comes through it to stand next to the piffle-riders, but soon the opponents chasing Ervin start to pour through as well.
With a clench of his fist, that pair of portals shut, cutting one opponent in half. "Ugh!" TheRealMe comments. The three katanas of Ace and Deuce slice up the others who came through with Ervin in short order.
Now, let's get back home! One by one the group heads through the portal to appear in the common room of the Sereni-tree. The last through are Ace, Ervin, and TheRealMe. TheRealMe closes the portal.
"Well, that's over," he says. "Now, it seems that we are just in time for New Years Eve! Let's celebrate Mai's return!"

**In the Common Area, jake7 is still waiting for a lemon covered Soul to wake up when she notices the room getting brighter. She turns to see one of TRM's portals taking shape. With a rush of commotion and piffle pony hooves, the rescue party reappears. Jake7 runs over to give Mai a hug and an admonishment**
Mai! I'm so glad you're back, but don't EVER run off like that! You had me worried for months!
TRM, Bobby Sue, Duece, Ace, welcome back and job well done!!
I think a party is just what we all need!!

**jake7 opens her eyes carefully. She sits up gingerly and looks blearily around her, taking in the aftermath of the New Year's bash.**
Well, that must have been a good time, I don't remember what happened!
**the various crew members are all still passed out wherever they dropped. There is leftover food and dirty dishes everywhere. jake7 sighs**
What a mess. Even Sparky appears to be down. I guess it's a manual clean up for now.
**She quietly steps over her sleeping crew-mates and heads to her room to freshen up**
