"A bow tie on my head?" Vinyl thought out loud as she looked at Octavia's tie. "I'm not that drunk yet Tavi." She laughed. "Alright, let's if we can find some of his soldiers as a test run."
"Yeah, you're right." Jecht told Apple Bloom. "I never was the fatherly type or a good husband for that matter. It's a miracle my boy turned out better than me. You'd get along well with him."

"Haha, maybe we can fix that with a few rounds when all this is over." Octavia said and took the tie to make a makeshift neckband to hold the makeshift instrument. "Wanna walk in the direction of Mouse then and see if we run into anyone?"
"You must be really old if I'm like your son." Applebloom said, rolling her eyes.

"I'll take you up on that Tavi." Vinyls said and started walking. "I guess it's a do or die from here, uh?"
"Hey, I'm a special case!" Jecht laughed.

"I suppose it is. If this works, it'll be music history." Octavia said, walking close beside Vinyl.
"Oh. So you're e-SPECIALLY old, then." Applebloom said with a smug look on her face.

"And if it doesn't, it'll be the end of history, for ponies anyway." Vinyl said. It didn't take them long to find some of Mouse' soldiers, scouting the vicinity to make sure nobody came near the wedding, marching in perfect rhythm. "This is it Tavi, remember that the others aren't suppose to hear this and give us away." Vinyl whispered as she crouched down in the tall grass.
"Ha! I guess so." Jecht told Apple Bloom. "Just watch out when I show my wrinkles, or scales, or whatever."

Octavia nodded and stooped low by Vinyl in the grass, "I'll whistle and try and draw them this way. It's all or nothing at this point." She said and looked back to the soldiers. She gave a sharp shrill whistle and then started to shimmy backward.
Applebloom closed her eyes and focused on the tap dancing. She memorized the hidden tune they were dancing two and stepped in beat to it. She did her best not to resist to conserve energy for the fight to immediately follow the hopeful, end of the dance.

Vinyl followed suit as the guards turned to the whistle. They all ran towards the sound still, disturbingly, able to keep a beat as they did so.
Jecht saw that the conversation was at an end and also fell silent, waiting to see what will happen.

Once Octavia felt she was far enough backwards and also felt they would get caught if the soldiers got any closer, she shot up from the grass, affixed her bow to the strings and started playing. It sounded rough at first, since this wasn't the best of cello's but after a second, Octavia began playing a beautiful melody. She purposefully played a slower song that wasn't in tune with the beat of the soldiers marching.

The soldiers started to slow down, as if they were running out of power, and soon fell to their knees. The sank back into the earth from where they cam and was completely gone. Vinyl slowly stood up next to Octavia. "It worked. Tavi it worked!" She jumped.

Octavia was awestruck. She looked on like it was a dream, "It... worked? IT WORKED!" She cheered loudly, caught up in the moment, "What do we do now? Should we go and diminish his forces or go strait to Mouse and remove the source? We don't have much time." Octavia said, now very serious.

"Then we take on the head honcho!" Vinyl said. "We'll teach him to mess with our Princess and our music! Let's go Tavi!" Vinyl said marching towards Mouse.

Octavia carefully slung the cello over back and strode beside her friend with confidence as they made their way to certain destruction or great glory.

Mouse was standing at the end of a long red carpet. Celestia was halfway down the middle walking towards him and Mouse' soldiers were on both side chanting. The Princess' guards was dancing next to her as she walked. A reminded from Mouse at just how powerless she was against him. Vinyl was hiding on a hill, looking at what was happening over the heads of thousands of soldiers between them and the Princess.

"OK, I'll need you to run and distract them while I get close to Mouse to play the cello. We want to make sure he can hear the music as well." Octavia said, assessing the situation as best she could.

"You want me to distract a gazillion soldiers!" Vinyl gasped. "I'd like to at least try getting out of this alive." She sighed. "Alright Tavi, is you tell anypony about this our friendship is over, kaput, alright." She took her mane and handed a few strands to Octavia. "Fasten this to the cello. I never thought all the hero business would be this embarrassing.

"I'll... just, have you tell me later." She said and tied it to the cello, "We're out of time." she said and looked to see Princess Celestia at the alter.

"Ugh!" Vinyl gave in. "I can amplify the sound of your cello. Happy now? I'm a living amplifier, I'm part of my own equipment. Could you just play? I'll make sure Mouse hears you."

OOC: Feeling and and with a little bit of BIC: Octavia had to fight every urge in her body telling her to fall over laughing and focusing on the task at hand did just that. She took the hair and carefully started playing the cello, making very well sure not to pull or tug too much on Vinyls mane. She played a soft song that steadily picked up pace and volume and also increased in intensity.

The sound blasted over the plains, so loud that everyone could hear. Celestia turned towards the sound, a smile on her face and tears in her eyes. "They came." She whispered. "No! Get them, kill them!" Mouse said pointing to the girls and shouting at his army. The army however was stumbling around drunkenly, bumping into each other and falling over. The Princess' guards stopped dancing and fell to the ground exhausted.
Scootaloo and Sephiroth also stopped dancing. It took them a second to compose themselves and then another second to look at each other and agree that this never happened before wings and swords started flying again.
The power over Apple Bloom and Jecht was also lost and he rolled his shoulder, taking a deep breath. "That was some workout." He said.

Octavia continued playing on the cello, pouring her heart and soul into the strings. Going all out, she reached the climax of the song and carried that energy through every note.
"Like wise." Applebloom said, straightening her mane and bow, "I don't want another marathon, so let's go all out in this last attack. A sprint to the finish."

"Fine!" Mouse said. "If this is how you want it to be Princess!" Mouse raised his hand and with a flick of his wrist nine large figures emerged from the ground. A mage, priest, shaman, druid, assassin, warrior, paladin, hunter and warlock. These were Mouse' strongest warriors and Octavia's music wasn't strong enough to have an effect on them. The warrior tried to grab Celestia, but Sky blocked him. "Get away Princess!" He said and the Princess flew up just as Sky dodged the warriors huge axe. Princess Celestia landed next to Vinyl and Octavia. Sephiroth skidded back from one of Scootaloo's blows. He stood up straight and slid his finger along the back of his long sword. "Let me show you despair." "Not so fast!" Scootaloo yelled. She brought her wings together and light shot from it into the air. "This is my strongest attack! Seventy five percent wings of hope!" She flapped her wings down and an energy blade shot towards Sephiroth followed by numerous smaller blades of energy. It ripped up the earth as it went for him and threw up dust and dirt with every hit. When everything settled down and Sephiroth appeared a black wing was folded in front of him. The wing unfold and Sephiroth was missing his shirt. "It looks like you have me at a disadvantage." Sephiroth said. He flapped his wing and lifted into the air. "If we meet again I will extinguish that light in your eyes." "I have too many friends for that to ever happen." Scootaloo replied as Sephiroth flew away. Jecht picked up his sword and shouldered it. "Nah." He said casually. "It's about time I headed home. Thanks for the chat. You have a nice place here, take care of it." ooc: Why can't people like Sephiroth keep track of their clothes?

"Princess Celestia! I'm glad we made it in time. It doesn't look like our music is working on those guys. Will the guards be able to handle them?" Octavia said, but didn't stop playing in case her music started to take effect. "Darn right I will!" Applebloom said full of an almost arrogant gusto and a wide smile, "I'll protect my home to my last breath." OOC: Because they learned from fighting Bruce Lee

"Keep on playing." Celestia told Octavia. She lifted her head and her horn started to glow. "Philamina!" She shouted and a few seconds later the Phoenix flew towards them. She spread her wings and fire flowed from them and Octavia's song was transformed into an even purer more beautiful sound. The grass in the unicorn plains started to vibrate and glow. "My magic!" Vinyl said. "It suddenly feels... really nice." She concentrated and the song became even louder. Mouse' generals started flailing in pain and their skin started to change back to dirt. "No!" Mouse screamed. "Stop it! Get up!" He threw out his hands and his own sickly sweet music tried to be heard through Octavia's song.
Jecht stopped and put a hand on his side. He gave a loud laugh. "You remind me so much of him." He told Apple Bloom. "If you ever run into a hot headed kid called Tidus, tell him... His old man said he shouldn't cry so much." And then he started walking away again.

Octavia started to play the loudest, most powerful classical piece she could think of and poured all of her heart and soul into the performance. They'd gotten this far and weren't going to let Mouse get the upper hand.
Applebloom was sure this was the end of their battle and looked around, "Where should I go now? I'm not even sure where I am." She asked herself.
OOC: Can the music be heard by everyone in the plains now?

ooc: Yep. I wanted to post that Jecht could hear it, but didn't really know what purpose it would serve.
"You made a mistake choosing to hold the wedding on the Unicorn Plains, Mouse." Celestia told him. "There's ancient magic here that helps unicorns. You also made the mistake of underestimating the love and will of the ponies of Equestria." Celestia looked towards Octavia and Vinyl with a smile. "And maybe I did as well." She looked back at Mouse. "But most of all. You made the mistake of threatening the lives of my little ponies!" Her horn glowed and her magic combined with Octavia's, Vinyl's and Philamina's. Mouse' music failed and his generals returned to the ground. His skin also started to crack and water starter to pour from it. "No! You can't defeat me! I'm immortal!" Fear showed on his face as his body started to fall apart. "No! It's not fair! It's wasn't meant go this way!" He screamed until only a muddy puddle of water was left of him.
Celestia turned to Octavia and Vinyl. "Thank you. You saved my life."

Octavia fell to the side and breathed heavily. She'd never played so hard in her life and it seemed to have taken a toll on her though her smile showed she was proud of herself and her friend for the role they played. OOC: So what are Scootaloo and AB going to do in the meantime? Should they go towards the sound that just not stopped
