Let's skip to wedding day.

A bunch of soldiers had lined up in rows of single file, on both sides of the isle as the executioner had put nooses on the party members who were made useless. NoLegs had to be placed on a barrel and a stool just so the noose could be around his neck while Katie had to be wrapped like a mummy in more chains because she was squirming too much. To add insult to injury, that monster had the same executioner hold both the sermon and the gallows!

Poor Natalie, walking in that dress and more chains down the isle closer to them, a look bidding one last goodbye expressing her grief.

She glanced at each of them: a legless cat who did them no harm, a swordsman who liked fun and games, an archery girl who babbled on about one thing before the next, a gunman who was smarter than everyone, a friend she'd only met very recently that knew what she went though... all about to be taken away from this world without so much as a second thought. So many tears behind locked prison cells in the eyes of the fox-girl, never to be released here because death would whisk them away the moment she said 'I do.'

The mage stood with who was the monster before the gallows, silently weeping as the executioner-priest announced wedding shenanigans in a neutral tone of voice.

Katie started shedding tears and snarling, her beastly rage threatening to come henceforth once the chains broke. The bastard had a golden necklace wrapped around his neck with a purple diamond-shaped gem.

Anna could only watch, her form shaking as she too shed tears.

NoLegs meowed quietly, his ears flat as the puppy-dog eyes did more than express him.

Lance exchanged glances with his fellow party members soon to join him in death, and then at Natalie. He held back those bittersweet tears with as much force as he could as he merely nodded to the confused mage.

Matt's face darkened. That bastard took his girl away from him as one last insult?! How dare he?! He's gonna pay!!

Then, one talon of the priest moved to the lever leading to the trapdoors as the dreaded moment approached with surprising haste.

Natalie was going to open her mouth to speak when a wall behind the left side of soldiers broke and a big hunk of metal proceeded to run all those soldiers over in one fell swoop! Standing on the hunk of metal was a purple unicorn with a darker purple mane and a star-burst on her flank!

"Twilight Sparkle! How'd you get here?!" Lance shrieked in shock.

"We caught wind of this mess thanks to one of Rainbow's old friends." Twilight said with a smile as another Gryphon emerged from the top of the seemingly-repaired Valkyrie.

"Hey, Your Highness! I heard you were an even bigger dweeb than Rainbow!" Called the femenine Gryphon who swooped in and stole the necklace right out from under the monster's nose! She then perched gracefully on the tank before crawling in.

Wait, Your Highness?!

"You...I had no idea these humans were a ruse!" Shouted his majesty-bastard as he glared at Twilight.

Katie smiled wickedly. "That was the plan." She said. "Natalie, now's your chance!"

Natalie quickly reverted to the cow-suit and made her Nirvana appear from nowhere before she made the chains holding her friends break as each drew their respective weapons. The humans and NoLegs climbed into the tank as Katie stayed behind. "Just go! Meet me up in the open plains!" She shouted as her right eye once again became a beacon.

The wheels of the Valkyrie whirred to life and the monster-tank rushed out of the wall from which it had broken into, leaving the other half of the Gryphon Army and the King for Katie to deal with. The world around everyone turned dark as a blood moon shone above. A glass pane separated the sky from the land and refracted the moonlight, making rainbows dance around all who witnessed it. Katie opened her mouth slightly as a white glow emerged from between her jaws.

"What's this?!" Shouted one soldier in panic.

Katie's wings grew larger than Natalie's as her one large tail suddenly became nine set ablaze. The girl-turned-werefox was in a pouncing position as the glow in her mouth intensified. A white circle surrounded her as the moon was aligned perfectly above the beast.

"This doesn't bode well! Shield me!" Shouted the king as his soldiers did what they were told.

The refracted rainbows suddenly started making circles around the fox as she threw her head up in a howling position.

But instead of a howl came a scream.

The circle shot a white beam around her form and into the sky as the glass pane broke into many sharp pieces. The moonlight suddenly faded as clouds concealed the bloody moon...

And then glass stabbing flesh, followed by screaming, came immediately after. Even the beam of rainbow-white light did not illuminate anything besides fox-woman's form.

The room instantly returned to normal, except now there were bodies impaled on glass laying about as though they were of no importance.

Only the king was left standing, and the monster he pissed off was standing in front of him with bloody jaws wide.

"No...no, please..." He started to beg before a canine maw clamped down on his neck, crushing his windpipe with little effort. His bones cracked soon after all the while his eyes rolled back into his head. His beak chattered like he was cold before death took him away.

Then, his head was torn off and quickly cast aside.

"The king had many bitches and not one of them got pregnant." Said the Gryphon.

"So, I've nothing to worry about?" Asked Natalie.

"Yeah. Either he was sterile or his harem was infertile." The Gryphon answered.

Anna was on top of the Valkyrie keeping an eye out for Katie, occasionally glancing down to watch the rest of the party jabber on.

"Guess she's not coming..." Lance sighed as he and the party turned to leave. A breeze blew past them ever so gently as everyone started sulking.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeyyyy!!!

Everyone stopped in their tracks.

"Is that?!" Matt started as he turned around and saw a flying object rapidly approach them.

"It is!" Anna said as she began jumping up and down in glee.

The object was close enough now that they could see a fox-like face riding the wind on black, feathered wings.

"I never knew she shared so many similarities with Rainbow Dash!" Shrieked the Gryphon.

Katie had come so close she had to gracefully maneuver out of the way lest the Valkyrie be sliced in two. She then landed on all fours and reverted to her half-human form as Lance, Anna, Natalie, and Matt proceeded to group-hug her. They were laughing and smiling as Twilight just couldn't help but shed a tear. NoLegs meowed with a smile and nodded to the unicorn.

"They grow up so fast..." Sniffled the Gryphon who shed a tear. She was smiling as well.

"I learned a new Overdrive." Katie said in glee.

"What's it like?" Asked Matt.

"We'll talk about it on our way to Manehatten!" Katie answered with a smile.
