Without Chaos, There Is No Harmony
Act 2: Malakai Meets The Main Six
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was just another day in Ponyville, all was going wonderful, a regular day. When all the sudden, another storm appeared, this time..it was ice cream! Even on cones! The roads were now hardened and waxed to the point where ponies were sliding around and plants were dancing all about. Street lamps were walking about tipping their tops to the ponies. And even Flying computer screens were flying around screaming ’HAX!’ And the sun got the trollface plastered on it. It was even doing the laugh! Malakai figured it had been quiet enough for the last week. So he took it upon himself to liven things up a bit. Malakai was in the town, skating on the roads in his socks. The best way to wax road skate! It was even making the silly squeaking sounds as he glided across the floor.
“Ah, what a beautiful day to be out and enjoying the wonderful weather!”
He said to himself with a big smile, his hands resting behind his back as he skates around ponies who were having issues maintaining a firm stance just to stand. And yet still sliding down the streets. Malakai couldn’t help but chuckle to himself as he started sliding down the street himself while spinning around clockwise with his hands in his pockets now. He spots a rather attractive mare from a distance away and quickly changes his clothing into a half opened black long sleeved silk shirt, tight leather pants and sunglasses. He starts circling around her while he has a saxophone in his hands, playing ‘Careless Whisper’ while he circles her for a few moments before moving on. His normal clothing reappearing on him in the process. Yes, Malakai was having the time of his life. And as long as none of them were getting hurt, he felt like his type of chaos would be fun to have around for awhile.
“Who knew that being able to bend reality to one’s will would be so entertaining!”
--Canterlot Castle, Throne Room--
“He is at it again, sister! We need to stop him!”
Shouted Luna as she watched through the spyglass from the balcony. Clearly, she wasn’t happy with how Malakai was just toying with all the ponies he was coming across. Luckily he had already called Twilight and her friends to the castle before the chaos already started. Twilight and her friends bust through the door.
“We came as fast as we could, Princess Celestia! We are well aware of the situation. But what can we even do..?”
Celestia sighs lightly and stands up, making her way to her star student.
“As you know, Luna and I destroyed Discord because we couldn’t risk him returning to try and take over Equestria again. So we used the elements of harmony to make sure that there was nothing left of him. But…”
She takes in a deep breath and exhales.
“Out of some kind of divine choice, Faust saw fit to find a replacement for him. She also forbade us from destroying this one. That is why I need you, girls, to wield the elements once more and put a stop to him. Should he be following the same path as Discord once did and try to take over all of Equestria, we must shut him down now.”
Celestia filled them in on what she and Luna knew about Malakai, which wasn’t much. After all, he is an unknown, a rogue element. Twilight and her friends gave a firm nod. Celestia passed off the elements to them before heading out back to Ponyville to stop the evil human from causing trouble...or so they thought.
“Good luck, my little ponies. Stay safe out there…”
Celestia said before the element bearers left, ever determined to stop Malakai from his evil wicked ways.
--Back In Ponyville--
Malakai was busy running from a few guard ponies with a bag full of money around his shoulder. He didn’t steal it of course, but it added to the chase. He was wearing a black suit and tie with a hockey mask on and blue gloves on his hands.
“I got a cloaker and a dozer on my ass! Where is the damned van?!”
He said as he runs up the side of a building and into the hole of a chimney, then appears outside the house in his normal clothing again and goes back to skating along the road in his socks once more. He did a few spins in the air as he went along. That is until he finally came face to face with Twilight and her friends he offers them a friendly smile and waves to the group of mares.
“Ah you made it, I’m so thrilled.”
He said in his best Joker voice. He stood there with his hands behind his back as he watched them eye him.
“Well, he certainly does look a bit better than Discord did. But he still looks weird…”
Said Rainbow Dash and she arches a brow at him with her arms crossed under her chest. Malakai grins and crosses his own arms.
“Hello to you too, Skittles. Tasted the rainbow lately?”
He said as he made skittle fall from her mane and tail, the hard fruity candy hitting the ground which made the mare grumble in anger.
“HEY!”
She shouted as she charged at him. He disappears and reappears, watching her slam into a stack of hay bails he had set out just for that purpose, knowing full well that the pegasus mare was quick to anger.
BAM!
He then turns to the rest of the group, already seeing Pinkie going for the sweet and falling ice cream that was coming down from the sky. He stands there again with his arms crossed.
“So, who is gonna come at me next? The bookworm? The fashionista? The farm pony? Or is the sweet, timid animal lover going to show us an ugly side that she has been building up for some time?”
Malakai leans forward as Rainbow attempts to tackle him once more, totally missing her mark...again. Twilight fires a few magic bolts his way. He suddenly appears in a long coat and sunglasses and beings to bullet time dodge, slowing down everything as the bolts pass over him. He then comes back up on his feet in his normal clothing again.
“What in tarnation is with this guy?! He is not fighting’ back and yet we can’t event touch him!”
Applejack said as she tried her own hand at tackling the human down. Her gaze solely focused on him now.
“Banana peel.”
He said with a grin and raised a brow.
“What-?”
She slips on the peel and falls on her rear, even the comical banana peel slip was heard when it all happened. Malakai could help but laugh at all that was happening. He stands there with a smile and opens his arms wide to them.
“You know, you got your little sparkly element thingies there. Why don’t you blast me with it already? Right here. Come at me, bro.”
He said with a toothy grin. He knew how the elements worked, and he was more than ready to see just exactly what they could do to him. They quickly get into the formation after Pinkie scarfs down a few more ice cream cones and watches them all do their little friendship blaster. Once the rainbow consumes him he becomes encased in stone, standing in the same stance he was in what he was waiting for them to fire.
“HA! That’ll teach you, cocky freak!”
Said Rainbow as she flies up into his face. Though something unexpected happened. Malakai walks up behind them and rubs his chin in thought.
“Hmmm, good likeness, you've really captured my strong jawline and my beautiful eyes. Well done girls!”
They all jump away from him screaming, nearly falling in the process.
“How did you...what did you? HUH?!”
Shouted Twilight in absolute disbelief that he wasn’t immobilized and turned to stone., her eyes wide as saucers as she watches him walk passed her.
“I-I don’t understand...the elements, they are supposed to banish evil...so why didn’t it work on you…?”
Malakai stopped and turned to her. A wide grin on his face.
“Oh..you thought I was…?”
Malakai falls to the ground in laughter, rolling around as he does so. He stands up quickly and rests his arm on her shoulder.
“Oh, girls. I am not evil. Sure, I am mischievous. But nowhere near evil, it’s just fun to mess with ponies now that I have godly powers to summon and do whatever I wish. What did you think I was going to do? Try and take over Equestria?”
“Um...maybe?”
Said Fluttershy who watched from behind Applejack nervously. Malakai disappeared and reappeared beside her and lightly placed a finger under her chin, his eyes meeting hers instantly.
“See?Some pony willing to give me the benefit of the doubt. That is why you are my favorite pony, Fluttershy...so sweet, so caring..beautiful.”
He said before reappearing in front of the whole group again. Leaving the yellow pegasus mare both blushing from shyness, and his compliment. Would somepony truly be evil with the way he looked at her? She didn't think so.
“So you just do this because you can?”
Asked Twilight. Malakai nodded in return.
“Mhmm, and because it’s fun. So long as no one else gets hurt, that’s all that matters!”
Twilight puffs her cheeks in slight anger and stomps up to him.
“Now listen here you! Harmless or not, you better fix this back or I’ll-”
She stops frozen in her tracks as Malakai holds a book in his hand and a zippo lighter in the other, a wicked grin on his face slowly starting to spread.
“While I will not harm living things, objects are another story. One more step and this priceless, one-of-a-kind hardback book of ancient spells goes up in flames. And do you want that, sweetheart?”
“You-...you wouldn’t dare…”
She said in a horrified whisper. Malakai flips the metallic lid up and hits the flint, the flame coming out from the hole of the container.
“Let’s not set this situation ‘ablaze’ now.”
“You are a monster!”
She shouted in anger at him. She was overreacting as she always did with books. But she backs down back to her friends keeping an eye on the book. If really was as special as he claimed it was, she wanted it...badly.
“I knew you were a smart unicorn Twily. Here you go.”
He said before tossing to book to her. She catches it with her magic and starts putting the book as if she was comforting it. Her friends watched on in a bit of shock at her reaction. Once she opens it however, she isn’t met with spells and incantations. Oh no, she is met with a pie to the face. Lemon meringue to be exact. Malakai laughs hard, disappearing and taking the whole mess with him, cleaning up Ponyville all on his own. Twilight was furious. But Pinkie and Rainbow actually found it pretty funny.
“Oooh when I see you again, you are gonna get it!!!!”
She shouted out. Malakai reappeared on the outer edges of Ponyville with a clone of himself.
“Excellent job Malakai.”
“Why thank you, Malakai, you are the most handsome and smartest being ever in this land.”
“Why thank you Malakai, I know I am. It was the best idea ever.”
He said before high-fiving himself and walks along the pathway that was next to him. Where was he going? No one knows, not even him.
“I think I am really going to like this gig more than i thought I would…”
