A Pony Funeral

The episode begins with a funeral for Shining Armor, the brother of Twilight Sparkle and the husband of Princess Cadance. The funeral is attended by many ponies and other creatures from Equestria and beyond, who pay their respects and condolences to the bereaved family. Among the attendees are the Bing Bunch and their allies, who have been invited by Twilight Sparkle as a gesture of gratitude and forgiveness. They have also been cleared of any suspicion or blame for Shining Armor’s death, as Scribbles has proven his innocence and revealed the true killer: Garfield, his former friend and partner, who was working for Suzy, a villainous dog and former X-Dog.

The funeral is full of sadness and sorrow, as Twilight Sparkle and Princess Cadance deliver eulogies for Shining Armor. They remember his life and achievements, such as his role as the captain of the royal guard, his marriage to Princess Cadance, his friendship with the Mane Six, his fatherhood to Flurry Heart, etc. They also express their love and admiration for him, as well as their grief and loss. They also thank the Bing Bunch and their allies for their help and support, and they apologize for their initial hostility and mistrust.

The funeral is also full of tension and conflict, as some ponies and other creatures are still angry and resentful towards the Bing Bunch and their allies. They blame them for bringing trouble and danger to Equestria, such as Suzy, Kang, Darkseid, etc. They also accuse them of being violent and cruel, such as Scribbles, Vegeta, Doctor Strange, etc. They also demand that they leave Equestria and never return. They also protest against Twilight Sparkle’s decision to invite them to the funeral, saying that it is an insult and a disgrace to Shining Armor’s memory.

The episode is full of drama and action, as the Bing Bunch and their allies try to deal with the diplomatic fallout of Shining Armor’s death. They try to calm down and reason with the angry ponies and other creatures, but they also defend themselves and their friends from their attacks and insults. They also try to explain their motives and actions, but they also admit their mistakes and regrets. They also try to show their respect and sympathy for Shining Armor and his family, but they also express their frustration and disappointment with some of their critics.

The episode ends with a twist, as a new threat emerges in Equestria: Discord, a powerful spirit of chaos who can manipulate reality at will. He has escaped from his stone prison, where he was sealed by Twilight Sparkle and her friends in the past. He has decided to take advantage of the situation in Equestria, where there is a lot of anger, sadness, fear, and confusion. He plans to use his magic to create chaos and havoc in Equestria, such as turning ponies into different animals or objects, changing the weather or the seasons randomly, altering the laws of physics or logic absurdly, etc.

Discord appears at the funeral, where he announces his return and his intentions. He mocks and taunts everyone present, especially Twilight Sparkle and her friends. He also challenges them to stop him if they can. He then uses his magic to cause chaos at the funeral site, such as making the flowers wilt or explode, making the coffin fly or disappear, making the mourners laugh or cry uncontrollably, etc.

The Bing Bunch and their allies join forces with Twilight Sparkle and her friends to fight against Discord. They use their powers and skills to counter his magic and tricks. They also use their devices and tools to communicate with each other and coordinate their actions. They also use their courage and determination to overcome his challenges.

The episode ends with a cliffhanger, as Discord proves to be a formidable foe who can match or surpass their abilities. He manages to evade or resist their attacks and traps. He also manages to outsmart or outwit them with his cunning and humor. He also manages to divide or confuse them with his manipulation and deception. He tells them that he has a lot more surprises in store for them, and that he will make them regret ever coming to Equestria. He then disappears in a flash of light, leaving them in a state of chaos and uncertainty.
