Previous ChapterNext Chapter

A whole week had passed. Mal and his group with the newest addition of Solar Flare left Equestria. As for Twilight Sparkle her "Kingdom of Friendship" was just starting off as kind of like the Crystal Empire. The forest where Discord grew up, no one knew about its current relationship (then again it was secret). Prance went through some unrest, but in the end it better entwined itself with Equestria on foreign policy. Twilight herself was playing host to the princess meeting of Equestria. Discord who’d chosen to simply leave on something personal. Something about a sacred act to his race. No one wanted to argue about that. As this happened a pegasus messenger walked in.

"Sorry princesses, but we seemed to have made contact with a new nation, The Union of Kingdoms, I believe. Their ruling monarch has requested a visit or something..." Before he even got to finish the doors opened. And darkness yet again enveloped the hall. Walking up was Malthael with his hood drawn up.

"The time has come, I must fulfill my duties." He said in the voice of death. Removing his hood, they saw a crown on his head. "As a king baby!" He said with the kinda smile you know that was a mix of amused, happy, and a little bit of pimp, just for good measure.

Twilight nearly fell off her new throne. Her heart was hammering in her chest as she looked at the amused angel. "Malthael!" Twilight boomed.

"Sparky! Why are we yelling!?" Mal said, feigning ignorance.

"You nearly gave us a heart attack! We thought you were going to kill us."

"I'm sorry Sparky I couldn't help myself, but I'm here for more important things than seeing how far I can get that vein in your forehead to bulge out." He apologized, snickering.

"Yes, you said something about duties as a king, what do you mean by that?"

"Oh well, I'm now the permanent king of the Union of Kingdoms." Twilight had to ask herself what kind of rational minded people would make him a king.

"So Why are you here?" Twilight asked.

"Well I was actually going to ask you about that magic mirror thing, the one that you and Sunset used to travel to and from that human version of Equestria." Mal said.

Twilight gave him a confused look. "Why would that matter?" Twilight asked.

"Because of someone called Flash Sentry. Sunset told me about her adventures there I kinda wanted to play a prank on him and laugh at him a little, heh, dumbass, broke up with Sunset....." He suddenly paused. "I also have this weird feeling that something else may be banished there." He said.

"What makes you think that?" Twilight suddenly would regret this question for the rest of her life.

"Its 4th dimensional soulfuckery even I don't completely understand it, basically the souls I took seemed to hold memories which I sometimes dream about."

Twilight raised an eyebrow. "That makes very little sense."

"Try living it, I have quite a few female and mysterious, unidentifiable gendered souls swirling around here too. And while I'm dreaming I'm essentially them." Twilight shuddered, recalling when Discord had swapped her gender.

"And what do you plan on doing to whatever might be sealed there?" She asked, she didn't think Mal had any malicious intentions but she wanted to be sure.

"I'm not sure yet. If they're a threat to that world then I'll take them out, but if they were simply misunderstood then I'll help them out. If they're still alive, I'm fairly certain all this happened hundreds of years ago, so they could be dead."

"Alright, I guess I can let you use the portal. Just try to keep a low profile, most humans aren't used to magic." Twilight warned.

"Oh come on Sparky, when have I ever had a hard time keeping a low profile?" Mal said with a dismissive wave.

“Every time you meet someone you reveal you’re the Angel of Death, causing them to either faint or go into a panic.". Twilight responded.

"She’s got you there, Mal." A voice behind him said. It was Sunset Shimmer. She too had a small crown on her head. "I seem to recall your plan of attack on an outpost was to simply walk up and burn the gate down." Mal’s eye twitched.

"I agree." Moon said who was ironically wearing what looked like a powder blue sundress with her soon came Solar Flare with a kind of indifferent and goth girl appearance. Trixie came in in her usual attire, shocking no one. Finally, Chrysalis walked in, she was in an outfit similar to Moon’s only hers was a deep green that matched her eyes.

"If you ask me a dragon attacking in broad daylight is more stealthy than you." Solar said.

“Wow, way to be the supportive girlfriends." Mal deadpanned. "And I did attack a dragon in broad daylight once." Everyone in the room facepalmed/hooved at that.

"And you wonder why we say things like this." Solar shot at him.

"Whatever, stealth is for suckers." Mal shot back. "Last time I checked my methods earned me this crown on my head." Mal finished his arms folding over his chest. The girls did have to give him that.

"Mal, can you just promise to try and behave yourself while we're in the mirror world?" Sunset asked.

"Alright, you know I could never say no to you." Mal answered with a sigh.

Twilight led them to where the mirror was currently kept. "Here we are." Twilight said. Mal looked it over. "So we just walk right through it, and go to another dimension?" He asked. Twilight nodded.

"Yes that’s basically it." She said.

Mal shrugged. "Ok then. Trixie, you’re going to have to stay here. We don’t want you to run into your counterpart. If science-fiction is right then we could cause a universe to collapse if you came into contact with her."

“Alright Mal, just try to be careful, Trixie worries about you.”

“Don’t you worry you’re pretty little head about a thing.” Mal replied giving the witch girl a quick hug and kiss. “We’ll be done with this before you know it.”

He walked right into the mirror. Following him was Moon, Solar, Chrysalis and Sunset. Twilight moved back to the door. "At least I won't have to…" She was interrupted as a cannon fired her into the mirror.

"Whoopsie." Pinkie Pie said with Discord at her side.

"Yeah, not our best idea," He admitted. The mirror gave way as Mal, Sunset Shimmer, Nightmare Moon, Solar flare, and Chrysalis walked out. Mal’s outfit becoming that of a kind of mix of rocker, a punk, and a bit of hipster as well with a kind of rebel flair. On his jacket were his sickles crossed with bony wings. The others in their outfits they gained from Sunset when they had first been turned human, save Solar Flare who remained kind of a goth. Finally another person landed, Twilight Sparkle. The portal closed right behind her. She banged on the surface of the statue a bit.

"Discord!" She screamed.

"Hey Sparky, did you decide to come with us?" He then looked down at himself and a smile worked its way on his face. "Hey these are some cool clothes. Not something I'd normally wear, but as a king I think I can show a little more flair. Solar looked gave Mal's outfit an approving nod too.

"I like it; the wings are a nice touch."

Twilight eventually stopped banging her fists against the base of the statue and slumped over. "Ugh, it looks like we're stuck here until the portal reopens." She groaned. Mal rolled his eyes at the princess' reaction.

"Oh no, we're stuck in a place with internet, whatever will we do?"

"Mal be nice, she wasn't expecting to come with us." Sunset chastised.

"You’re right, as usual. Let's just get into this school and figure out what's going on. Ugh, I already had to go to High School once." Mal groaned.

Twilight got up. "You actually went to High School? Do Angels even have that?" Twilight asked. Mal rolled his eyes.

"Sure being born into a war with seven personifications of evil is high school for angels." He said with enough sarcasm that even a two year old could understand. As they walked a voice rang out.

"Sunset, Twilight is that you?" It was the mane five of this dimension.

"Oh look five friends in another dimension, there’s a reference somewhere in my mind." Mal said. The five looked at the four totally unknowns.

"Whoa are they from your world." The human Rainbow Dash asked.

"Moon, Chrissy and Solar, yes." Sunset said.

"Malthael well actually he’s from another world who then came to ours." Twilight said.

"So is he like a dragon or something?" Mal rolled his eyes.

"No I'm an Angel, and an aspect of death."

The five girls all had a panicked expression on their face, but quickly lost it when they saw Sunset swat the angel upside the head. "Mal, what did I tell you about introducing yourself like that?"

"What? They asked me what I was." Mal said with a weak grin.

"Then just say you're an angel, or even an archangel. The death part always gives people the wrong idea."

"Alright, I get it." Mal sighed. "Sorry if I freaked you out girls. I was just messing with you." He said to the main five.

"Apology accepted darling. Though, what are you all doing here?"

"I got a feeling that a pony named Star Swirl sealed something or someone away in your world. I came to deal with the potential threat."

"And what can you do about it?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Silly girl, I'm a badass, immortal king, there's nothing I can't do." Mal replied with a wicked grin.

"Except stealth." Solar Flare said with a smirk.

"Shut up." Mal said with little emotion. At the high school the whole return of two students and the arrival of four new ones did not go unnoticed.

"Sunset." She turned to see Flash Sentry.

"Oh it’s you." Sunset said with a low face. Mal did the only logical thing that a goofy person would do when placed in this kind of situation.

"Oh yes the ex, good to see you." Somehow, he created an unknown accent that sounded vaguely European.

"Who are you?" Flash asked.

"Prince Malthael, Sunset here is my fiancé."

"Wha..." Flash said, utterly confused.

"Well that's one way to react. Not the intelligent way, mind you but still a way." Mal said, keeping up his accent. Flash's face hardened and glared at Mal.

"Well, how am I supposed to react to hearing my ex has a fiancé?"

"Most would say congratulations." Mal answered. "Barring that they would ask how the couple met, pretty much anything but gaping like a fish." Mal finished. Flash's glare intensified and Sunset intervened.

"Mal, could you please stop antagonizing him? We don't need you getting in a fight within five minutes of you walking in the door."

"Fine," Mal said, dropping the accent. He turned to Flash with a mischievous grin on his face. “Sorry for messing with you dude.” Mal said extending his hand to the young man.

“Uh, no problem,” Flash replied, hesitantly shaking Mal’s hand.

“Actually, I should be thanking you Flash, I owe a lot to you.”

“Huh, what do you mean?”

“Well, if you hadn’t broken up with Sunset, she and I might not be together now. So thanks, you’re stupidity really helped me out.” Mal said, laughing and walking away from the now furious teen. Sunset just let out a long groan.

"Seriously, how did you meet him?" Flash asked. Sunset rolled her eyes.

"If only you knew."

Walking down the halls Solar Flare looked to find her class. 'Why do I even have to go to school?' She asked herself, irritated. She turned the corner and bumped into someone. "Watch where you’re going." She growled. The girl she bumped into had a massive amount of orange, and blonde, curly hair. Plus this weird jewelry but Solar Flare barely gave it a thought.

"Didn't you bump into me?" The girl asked.

Before Solar Flare could say or do anything Moon grabbed her shoulder. "Excuse us for a moment." Moon said. "Solar why do you always want to start a fight?" Moon asked her.

"I never start a fight." Solar countered.

"That time at the shop?" Moon countered back.

"He was asking for it." Solar retorted.

"He was a blind old man who had a heart condition." Moon finished. Solar Flare still glared.

"I still say he was asking for it, Moon." She finished and walked away. Moon sighed and followed her sister.
