Rise of the Angel of Death

Mal walked to his first class with a sigh. He really hoped that whatever was sealed in this world was still alive. Otherwise, he would be going back to High School for nothing. He also hoped that Moon would be able to keep an eye on Solar. It was still a bit debatable if she was evil or not, but she did have an extremely short fuse. He still remembered that blind shopkeeper that she threatened to incinerate. Mal thought about it for a moment and decided to have a talk with her later. For now, he would just go to his classes and not try to cause any trouble. Something that was easier said than done for him. He almost started to wonder how many times he had been called to the office back when he was a normal human going to school. He stopped that train of thought before it could really begin by reminding himself that, that part of his life was over. He was perfectly happy with how things had turned out in his new life, who he had ended up with. Mal opened the door to find a woman with light pink skin and long purple hair dressed in the stereotypical clothing for a teacher. She turned at the noise and greeted Mal with a smile.

"Can I help you?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm a new student," Mal answered.

"Well then, why don't you come up and introduce yourself to the class, and tell us all a little about yourself?" Mal shrugged and walked over to the teacher and turned to face the only slightly interested students.

"Hi, my name's Malthael, but you can call me Mal." He started. 'And I'm an Angel of Death and king to a common wealth in another dimension.' He thought with an internal chuckle. "Other than that, I guess I really like to travel and see new things." He said aloud.

"That's good, why don't you take the empty seat over by Trixie." The teacher said.

Mal almost laughed at this. There was the Trixie of this world who looked just like his little witch. He sat down only to have Trixie turn to him. "Why does Trixie feel like she knows you?" She asked.

"I don't know." Mal said. 'How about the fact that we are together in another dimension and whatnot.' he thought.

As lunch started the roll in nothing eventful had happened. Well, save Solar threatening a school photographer for taking questionable photos of her. After that everyone was afraid of the goth girl, and how she used a pen to destroy a camera was anyone’s guess.

Mal met up with his group, the main five, and Twilight at a table and sat with them, with a plate of tacos. "Ok Solar I heard what you did to the kid from the school newspaper, not cool."

"The little punk was asking for it. He shoved that camera of his right in my face."

"There are better ways of dealing with people like that than getting creative with a pen."

"Whatever." Solar said indignantly. Mal let out a sigh, he supposed that would have to do for the moment.

"Well how was your day?" Sunset asked Mal.

"Boring,” he said with a deep sigh, “though I did meet this world's Trixie. Did our Trixie used to have a massive ego or something? This one kept calling herself the 'Great and Powerful' Trixie." Mal said.

"Yeah, she did." Twilight answered.

Before the group could continue their conversation the doors to the cafeteria opened and a mysterious singing was heard. The group turned and saw three girls with matching ruby necklaces were the ones doing the singing. They then went on to sing a song about having a battle of the bands. They moved along from student to student, giving them fleeting touches and trying to incite them to want to compete. Everyone other than their group in the cafeteria seemed to be getting riled up from their song, ready to tear each other's throats out. Once the song was over the three girls had a devious smile on their faces.

"Welp, looks like we're dealing with sirens." Mal plainly said.

"What makes you say that?" Twilight asked.

"Singing that manipulates the hearts and minds of those that hear it, the only way it could be more obvious was if sailors were involved." Mal replied.

Twilight decided then and there that Malthael’s references were lost to her.

"Hey that’s the girl who bumped into me!" Solar screamed and held a carrot up, possibly as some sort of weapon. And given what she could do with a pen, no one wanted to know what she planned to do with the root vegetable. Before she could do anything though, Chrysalis, and Moon held her back.

"Damn it Solar you have anger issues." Chrysalis said. The sirens somehow chose to ignore Solar. Which wasn't good in and of itself.

"Don't ignore me!" Solar screamed.

"Ok that's enough!" Malthael said in his death voice. All the fighting ceased. Even Solar Flare’s anger was curbed. The Dazzlings just looked on in shock.

"Solar I need you to at least try to keep your anger under control." Mal said, returning to normal. Solar didn't even try to argue and let out a sigh.

"Alright, I'll try."

"Good, I'd hate to see you get in trouble because of it." Mal said with a smile. Everyone else in the cafeteria continued to stare at him for a while, but he and the group just ignored them.

"Damn dude, that was intense." Rainbow Dash told him.

"Yeah, I might've went a little too far,” Mal replied, rubbing the back of his head. “But I had to get her attention somehow. And sometimes it feels like getting angrier than her is the only way to do it."

"Still, I don't like what these supposed sirens are doing." Twilight said. "We should talk to the principals about this battle of the bands."

Mal waved his hand dismissively at the idea. "Yeah, you do that." He simply said.

Twilight looked at him giving him a bit of a glare. "Malthael you were the one who warned me about a threat, do you even care?" She asked.

"Well yes, but I figured since Discord and I took care of the last two threats you would want to show them your magic or something. Come on Sparky, tag in." With that he got up, strode to her seat, slapped her hand lightly with his own, and walked out of the room, while the sirens however were staring at Mal the entire time.

"Did anyone else feel aroused by him?" The blue haired one asked. The other two were a bit embarrassed by that question, partly because they were.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves girls. He seems to have a magic completely different than the Equestrian magic that drew us here." The orange haired one said, composing herself.

"Then what do you suggest we do?" The purple haired one asked.

"Easy, we introduce ourselves to him and see what he's up to. We may even find a way to manipulate him." The lead siren replied with a grin.

"Can we ask him if he's single?" The blue haired one asked.

Mal walked down the hall of the school, feeling good about himself, even if he was probably going to get in trouble with Sunset later. 'I wonder where the library is. There's probably a computer or two there. I'm also curious what the video games here are like. Maybe I can buy a tv and game system and find a way to hook it all up in the house? Hope I'm not too rusty after all this time.' Mal thought.

"Where do you think you're going?" A voice called out to him. Mal turned and saw familiar faces.

"Oh hey, you're the sirens from earlier." Mal said, not bothered by them approaching.

While the three paused at this, however the sirens recovered from their shock rather quickly. "Let’s start with introductions then." Mal started.

The orange haired one went first. "I'm Adagio Dazzle, this is Sonata Dusk," The blue haired one. "And this is Aria Blaze." the punk like one.

‘And the award for the coolest name ever goes to*Insert drumroll here*… and it’s a tie between Aria Blaze and Sonata Dusk. Also, wasn’t Sunset’s mom’s last name Dazzle, maybe there’s some sort of relation… Nah, I’m probably just overthinking things… Wait a second…’ Mal felt like he knew them. Then, he realized something. These three were the ones banished by Star Swirl. 'Well Star Swirl, you just lost all credibility of them being a threat.' Mal thought.

"I am Malthael," He held his hand out and with his mind a small glowing ball was in his hand. "I'm the Angel of Death, isn't that right Star Swirl?" He asked the ball of light.

"What’s going on? Oh my.... you are literally standing next to the sirens kill them you idiot!" Star Swirl’s soul cried out.

"Shut up before I decide to place you into a statue." Malthael boomed at the soul.

"Please don't." The soul whimpered
