Stage !
[EPILOGUE]
~Castle Escape

Dream Vania: Don’t worry, Advent! You saved me. This is the least I can do! I just need to borrow these for a bit. Hope you don’t mind.

Dream Vania wastes no time and makes a run for it with an unconscious Advent Playwright on her back and utilizes his tools to the best of her abilities. She rushes out of the keep and down the Great Stairs when an unexpected and unwanted obstacle appears one more time to try and stop them. The dreaded Maren, ScrEEch is back for one last stand.

Dream Vania: AAH! What was that?! *Sees ScrEEch* YOU?! You were his apprentice!

ScrEEch: YOU… WON’T…. ESCAPE!!! DIE!!!

ONE FINAL RUSH! FIGHT!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ScrEEch THE NECROMAREN

He flies after them and continuously tries to either dive bomb them or shoot them with dark magic. Dream Vania has to deal with him, falling debris, left over traps, and enemy remnants as she escapes with both of them intact. The castle constantly crumbling causes certain routes that were opened before to be closed off, so alternate paths have to be taken as enemies from past stages are standing in her way.

Dream Vania: Are you insane?! You have to escape too! Don’t bother with us!

ScrEEch: EITHER YOU DIE TO HER, THE CASTLE, OR ME! JUST STOP THEM!!!

Dream Vania: He IS insane!

Varender: *Appears and flies by, morphed into a griffin* Yeah, he is! He always has been! C’mon! Hop on and I’ll get you out of here!

Dream Vania: Oh! Thank you! *Hops on* Hang on, Advent. We’re almost free!

Sinbad: We’ll hang on to Advent.

Marina: And follow behind. Keep moving!

As they make a daring escape through the air down the corridors of the castle, ScrEEch is hot on their trail, still trying to shoot them down. That is until they pass by Air Roma and French Vanilla. ScrEEch sees them and turns his attack to them but it interrupted by SoulWind, who swiftly appears to save them.

ScrEEch: YOU WON’T ESCAAAAAAAAAPE!!! *Gets hit* GAAAAARGH!!! WHAT?!

SoulWind: And that’s enough of you! Out of my sight! *Strikes ScrEEch down* I’ll hold him off! Just go!

Varender: You’ll be alright by yourself?!

SoulWind: I always am!

Air Roma: WAIT FOR US!!!

French Vanilla: There are so many of these monsters! Air Roma! I need some feathers!

Air Roma: Here! *Gives her a bag of stockpiled feathers*

French Vanilla: Thanks…. Why do you have a bag full of them?! Ah, forget it! *Horn glows and she eats a blueberry ice cream scoop* NOW! [Item Crash: HYDRO STORM] *Summons a downpour and clears out the enemy monsters* GO! GO! *Runs with Air Roma behind*

Varender:……Ouch…..

Dream Vania: You okay?

Varender: That…. That was Holy Water, wasn’t it? That burned…. Just a little…. Don’t worry, I’m fine.

ScrEEch: GET OUT OF MY WAY!

SoulWind: Sorry, no can do!

ScrEEch: Then you…. *Opens mouth wide* DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!! [Dark Art: STAR SCREAM]

SoulWind: *Covers ears* AAAAGH!!! *Kicks a rock into ScrEEch’s mouth* Ngh… Will you just…. STUFF IT?!

ScrEEch: MPH! MMMMMGH!!!

SoulWind: You just never give up, do you?! When will you get it that every time you fight us is a lost cause?!

ScrEEch: *Chomps and crushes the rock* SHUT UP! I WILL NEVER… ACCEPT A LOSS…. FROM YOU!!!!

SoulWind: Either way, I’ve had enough! *Tackles* Eat THIS! *Knocks him down to the ground* And stay down! *Sees the castle ceiling falling on him* NO! *Slashes with his tail to get out, but nearly gets crushed by the overwhelming debris* GAAAAH!!! *Starts glowing* Huh?! *Vanishes*

ScrEEch: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
K.O.!!!

The last of the level is of Dream Vania escaping through the rest of the crumbling castle with everyone. In a flash of light, they finally make it to the end and escape from Grogar’s destroyed castle! Back outside, Cadence has just sent the Ex-Cultist on his way back to the town and calls up SoulWind to her, saving his life from the rubble.

SoulWind: WHOA!!! *Appears back in the sky next to Cadence* Huh?! Who?! What?! *Sees Cadence* Oh! It’s you. Heh… That was too close. Thanks.

Cadence: Don’t mention it. Anything for a friend.

SoulWind: One of these days, I’m gonna have to do you a few favors. I owe ya.

Cadence: Please, you don’t need to. That’s what friends are for.

SoulWind: Well. Okay. All the same, thank you. Anyways, I guess we did it! I don’t think Advent needs me around anymore.

Cadence: Hey, wait! If you want, I can warp you back home.

SoulWind: That’s okay. Save your strength. You look pretty tired out. Besides, I prefer to fly.

Cadence: You always look tired with that look on your face. You sure?

SoulWind: I’m an insomniac. Nighttime endeavors aren’t a problem for me. Thanks for the offer, but I’ll go on my own from here. I hope we meet again, Cadence! *Bows and salutes as he flies off*

Cadence: *Smiles and nods* Okay then. Same to you, SoulWind! And thank you too! *Looks down to the others and vanishes in light*

Back with the others, they manage to find the right place to fly out and escape from the castle and watch from a distance as it collapses on itself. Advent wakes up and they land on a nearby cliff to watch it go up in a pillar of light with the sunrise. They see a small reflection of the light and see that it’s SoulWind, who salutes them and flies off to parts unknown.

SoulWind: Well done. I’m glad I was able to help. Until we meet again, stay strong! *Flies off into the sunrise*

Advent: *Looks up and waves good-bye to SoulWind* So…. It’s finally over.

Dream Vania: Yes….

Varender: *Turns back to normal*…….

Air Roma: So… now where are we gonna go, sis?

French Vanilla: Back to Java-A-Day’s Orphanage, of course. I want to go home.

Air Roma: Oh, right!

Varender:  Can… I come along too? I don’t have…. anywhere to go…

French Vanilla: Of course! Why not? You can be our new friend! We’re all from different families, but we’re all like siblings! You’re our new sister!

Air Roma: YAY!

Varender: Heeheeeh! Thank you!

Sinbad: Are you coming, Advent?

Advent: You guys go on ahead. We’ll catch up.

Marina: Okay. Just don’t fall behind!

The five of them leave with Advent and Dream Vania behind over the lake and sunrise as they speak alone.

Advent: So…. What will you do now?

Dream Vania:….Confess the truth.

Advent: Hmm?

Dream Vania: I’m sorry I mislead you…. I’m….

Advent: Not really a princess? Yeah, I know.

Dream Vania: Huh?! Y-You knew? And yet you still risked everything to save me?

Advent: Of course I did! I knew Grogar wasn’t lying back there. But I don’t care. You were and still are a life worth saving. I wasn’t about to let something bad happen to you. You trusted me with everything you are that I would overcome every challenge to save you, you gave me your strength when I needed it the most so I could win, and you even saved me in the end. I don’t care about royalty status. You’re still a life well worth risking for. (Who am I kidding?! I still thought she was and I’m just a bit bummed that she lied to me about it…. But we’re having a nice moment here, so I better not ruin it.)

Dream Vania:….*Blushing*….Thank you. *Walks closer to him and kisses him on the cheek, causing him to turn red from blue*

Advent: Ngh……. (I completely forgot I used to be afraid of stuff like this!) *Blushing like a tomato* I….. You…. Um….

Dream Vania: If you want…. I could be your princess.

Advent: *Smiles*….Heheh. You know what? You already are.

They both hug and walk side-by-side along the path to catch up to the others with the image of Princess Cadence appearing above them smiling down upon them. Dream Vania chose to stay with Advent Playwright, for the two of them found love in each other. Knowing that she is in good hooves, Cadence decides to leave them be and returns home to the Crystal Empire and gets into bed right before Shining Armor wakes up.

Shining Armor: Mmngh… *Yawns and stretches* G’morning, babe. Uh… Cadence? You ready to wake up?

Cadence: Yeah… just give me a couple…. *Yawn* Hours….. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ……

Shining Armor: *Scratches his head, shrugs, then yawns* Well, nothing wrong with sleeping in every now and then… Though she looks like she’s been up all night…. Eh, fine by me. *Falls back asleep* ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ………

On the way out of Trotsylvania, the team returns to the town where they see the people looking up the hill to them. They look at them nervously, but then bow down to the ground, praising Advent.

Advent: *Walks towards them looking a little annoyed* Will you guys get up?! You have no reason to bow anymore! Have you guys learned nothing from this night?

Leader: He is right. Everypony get up!

Advent: Huh?

Leader: You saved me. Twice even. This is the least I could do. After all we’ve done, I’m even tempted to bow, to be honest, though.

Advent: I see Princess Cadence really got you back up on your hooves. It’s good to see that.

Leader: Yes. She gave me a rather interesting punishment for all we’ve done. She wants us to live here in peace for all eternity. We are never to leave our home, but on the flipside, we are to treat any guest with true hospitality. I am in charge of leading my people in what will eventually become a ghost town. But for what I have done, I will graciously accept this. If you ever return, we will treat you well. That is our promise. Who knows, maybe we can turn our once angry town of demon worship into something worthwhile.

Advent: I might accept that offer one day. I do like to go off on journeys. Maybe this could be a good rest stop. Just no more bowing, okay?

Leader: Of course. As you wish. Would you like any provisions for your long trip back home? Equestria is a good distance away.

Advent: Thank you. But first. May I stop by your church? The chapel back in the castle was fake. I would like to do something important real quick.

Dream Vania: As would I.

The group goes into the Trotsylvanian Church of Life as it is labeled, and gives their respects to their passed away families.

Advent: Mom…Dad… *Places locket in front of him and opens it as he puts his hooves together and closes his eyes* It’s me, Advent. I’m doing well. You wouldn’t believe the night I’ve had. I finally got to go on the journey of my dreams. I’ve faced many challenges and learned a lot from them. I even learned what really happened to you. I’m just sorry I couldn’t have done anything about it. But I will keep living on. For your sakes and for mine. May our creator take good care of you both. Keep watching me, guys. I’ll make you both proud. I love you. Good-bye. *Picks up the locket and holds it close while French Vanilla levitates the locket around his neck* Thanks. Hmm? *Notices Dream Vania still in a silent prayer* Oh…

They then step out with bags full of food for their long journey back to Equestria. They wave good-bye to the town with all the citizens waving to them in thanks for lifting their curse and waking them up. Along the way, they go through a long path back to the border while cameos of Steven Magnet, Iron Will and his cousin, ScrEEch and Grogar, Vinyl Scratch and Octavia, Celestia with Luna and Discord and Screwball, SoulWind and Cadence go by in a cartoony fashion as the credits roll. until they come up to a cliff. They look over a cliff that looms over the kingdom of Equestria with a large body of water at the bottom of the steep hill. They hurry down it and find a ferry boat and a single hooded pony with an oar.

Ferry Pony: Shall I guide ye across the river?

Advent: Yes, please! We’re so close to home! Finally!

They board on the boat and ride it over to the shore on Equestria’s side. Rather than going back home to the Crystal Empire, she started a new life with Advent, whether it be at the orphanage until their adoption, on stage during his plays, or out going on an adventure with him, she followed him wherever he went! One day, the whole party was adopted and given a new home by Java-A-Day’s friend, a yellow Pegasus storywriter named BrainStorm. And that day, Advent decided to tell the story to him in the form of a play.

Java-A-Day: So you’ve prepared one last play before your departure? That’s so nice! We’re all going to miss you.

Air Roma: We’re gonna miss you too!

French Vanilla: So I really hope you enjoy the show!

BrainStorm: So… Let’s hear this story!

Advent: Alright! It all started when I hiked up to Pegasus View Mountain and decided to take a nap… and I had a dream…

STORY CLEAR
CONGRATULATIONS
LIFE --- X 10
FEATHER --- X 100

ENEMIES: Send… in… everyone! Which one? EVERYOOOOOONE!!!!!
BOSS: ScrEEch FINALE
ALL CLEAR THEME: [link]
END CREDITS THEME: Hero (JAM Project) [link]

And that is it! From that day forth, the friends together were adopted by the Author Pegasus, BrainStorm and the Composer Unicorn, Lyricist with Varender Softlight included into the family. Time passed and Advent went on many more adventures with Dream Vania by his side through it all! Cadence kept her promise and made it possible for French Vanilla and Air Roma to accumulate a fortune as the two of them went into business together to make and sell magic ice cream for all. Varender stayed with BrainStorm and helped him out in any way needed as well as going back to playing her childish pranks on others either asleep or awake! One day, Advent and Dee Vee, as he calls her, one day decided to settle down and actually get married! Princess Cadence went as far as to treat it as a Royal Wedding in the Crystal Empire as a token of gratitude for Advent and his efforts. As for ScrEEch? It is unknown whether or not he survived the castle crumbling. SoulWind flies to other parts of the world, but keeps his promise to Fluttershy and the CMC that he would return every now and then to visit and rest before going back out. French Vanilla would go on to later find and marry a young stallion unicorn and continue the family legacy while Air Roma grows up and develops feelings for SoulWind. However, she becomes rather shy to approach him to tell him. All the while, BrainStorm and Lyricist watch in joy of seeing their adopted children growing up. CLOSURE!!!

In the original plan, I was going to upload the Castle Escape and the End Sequence seperately, but I figured the finale should be a bit longer. So instead, I kept it all together! So now for some thoughts! This story was fun! It was my first shot at doing something Castlevania-like and it was a LOT of fun to think of! I wanted to be creative with the adoptables that I added to the family thanks to :iconkayelark: and :iconjoanatrex: while throwing it all together into something both familiar and new! I think I have succeeded in doing something like that! But that's not for me to toot a horn! I want to know from you guys what you think! How did I do? I know it wasn't as long as my last stories like Equestrian Runner or TRONiGHTS, but it was still something! Something great! Something I had fun doing! And that's what matters! I am glad I was able to get Kay-Kay's help with the illustrations such as the cover page, the ending page later, and the character profile illustrations! Speaking of which, thank you :icongeneralzoi: for creating the Pony Maker! I was able to make SoulWind with that thing a year ago and I'm glad I used it again to update his look. And thanks goes to :iconzantyarz: for letting me use the Neon Cadence for her character profile! It won't be the only time I'm gonna need it and some other Neons, but that's a story for another time!

I thank you all SO much for reading this! Again! Let me know what you all think! I hope you enjoyed it! Until next story, I am the Author Brony, and I will see you guys later!
