Without Chaos, There Is No Harmony
Act 7: Do The Thing!
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was just another day in Ponyville just like any others. However, Malakai just hasn’t been causing as much chaos like he has been. Maybe he is just getting bored of it all and needed to take a break? Or perhaps he hasn’t found any reason to really cause chaos for the hell of it. Maybe he should take a break once things get too calm. That way he could think of new things to do once everyone gets used to the calmness once more. Yeah, that seemed like a good idea. However, that wouldn’t stop him from being a goof and messing with ponies. After all, pranking and having a good time with the ponies and even messing with the princesses was ALWAYS fun. Not to mention he always found spending time with Fluttershy more enjoyable than causing chaos itself.
Today was going to be interesting for sure. Apparently, there is some kind of big shindig wedding that is going on in Canterlot. Between Twilight’s brother and a princess, Malakai had heard about. Princess...Mi Amore Cadillac? Or something along those lines. Ah, he didn’t really care. He may show up, he may not. Fluttershy and the girls invited him to come along which surprised the human. He’d go there for Fluttershy sure, but weddings are always so...boring. They are nice events and all, and Malakai could understand the importance of two lovers forming an eternal bond with one another. But sitting there for what could feel like an eternity? Booorrrriiiiinnngggg~.
Seeee?! Even the author agrees!
(Quiet, you!)
Malakai laid there on his couch in his home, there was a knock at his door suddenly. He sits up and blinks a few times, knowing only one being could come here at will so easily.
“Come in, Faust”
And he was right, it was Faust herself, the creator of all things pony. She comes in and offers him a gentle smile as she plops down next to him on his couch.
“Hello, there my favorite troublemaker. It has been quite some time since I have seen you. I noticed that this last Nightmare Night, you gave one of my daughters quite the workload thanks to your little killer clown attraction.”
Malakai grinned a big toothy grin and shrugged. He laid back onto the couch.
“Well, it was something new for them to experience.After all, I wasn’t going to put them in REAL danger. I figured it would be a fun change of pace for them since they have never really experienced the fear and rush of killing of zombie clowns with guns. I got the idea from a video game I played back in my world. It was always a blast for me, especially with the awesome music it played.”
Faust giggled lightly and climbed on top of him to straddle him. He blinks a few times and looks up at her in a bit of confusion. She places her hands on his chest and locks eyes with him knowingly.
“You were just thinking about going to the wedding that is going to go on in Canterlot tomorrow huh? You should go.or you will miss Fluttershy dressed up in that pretty dress she will be wearing~.”
“Look, Faust, I know you are the creator and all knowing being of everything pony. But you don’t have to be my mother you know. Not that I don’t appreciate your caring nature. You are very sweet. But the last place your entity of chaos needs to be is at a wedding. Yes, I would love to see sweet Flutters dressed all pretty. But I don’t think the rest of Canterlot, especially the princesses wouldn’t be happy to see me. Especially with how i dress. I wouldn’t show up in some fancy outfit. I like the way i dress juuuust fine. Now, if things got interesting enough, I’d pop by and see how things would go.”
Faust only giggled lightly and got off him. Turning to gaze at the movie he had on screen for a moment.
“Oh, then I believe you will be showing up.I won’t say why. But I know you will definitely want to be there~.”
Malakai arched his brow and stood up from his couch. If she knew something exciting was going to happen, he was totally down for going. He crosses his arms and turns his head away from her, trying to hide his interest.
“Well...I guess I could go for a little bit. Just to go see Fluttershy anyways…”
He said making up an excuse on the spot. Faust giggled at him and wrapped her arms around him from behind around his shoulders. Another knowing gaze on her face as he teased him.
“You and that sweet pegasus mare have been getting awfully close, haven’t you? You plan on asking her out soon?”
He pulls away from Faust and trips over his words a bit, trying to come up with something to say.
“I...I just like her a bit more than the others is all. She is a good mare and very dear to me. Besides, she’d never want to go out with me. I am a human and the master of chaos, I am sure she wouldn’t want that kind of trouble on her hands.”
Faust blinked a few times and giggled behind her hand. She knew things were VERY different in the mind and heart of the yellow pegasus. But that was something that she couldn’t reveal either. Besides, she thought both of them would make a wonderful couple. She makes her way to his door and opens it up, looking back at him.
“Well, you never know until you try. Anyways, I am off. Take care, sweetie.”
Yeah, see you later.”
Faust closes the door behind her before disappearing to...wherever it is she goes. Malakai lets out a sigh and grumbled to himself, deciding to go after all. He grabs his leather jacket and slides it on, and then puts on his biker boots.
“It’s not like i have any plans anyway…”
Once he was fully dressed in his usual attire, he opens up a blue swirling portal and steps through it, stepping outside of an orange one in the middle of Canterlot castle...which appeared to have been invaded by bug like beings. There was only one thing he could do at this time. He snaps his fingers and suddenly dons his N7 armor and places a finger to his ear.
“Joker, we have another bug problem. Do the thing.”
“Doing the thing, commander!”
Malakai walks through the swarm of oncoming changelings shooting them down with the iconic ‘avenger’ rifle and throwing biotics at the one on the ground. All while having a big smile on his face.
‘They aren’t collectors...but close enough…”
He said as he then snapped his fingers as Grunt and Tali appeared at his side.
“I. AM. KROGAAAAN!”
Shouted grunt as he charged forth. Tali sending her drone out to attack the changelings when they got to close. Malakai places his gun on his shoulder and chuckles. The Normandy flies over and carpet bombs the area in front of him, clearing the path of changelings on the way to the chapel where the wedding was supposed to be happening.
“Looks like I get to live my Mass Effect dream after all!”
He said before walking forward with his rifle resting in his arms. He kicks open the door to see even more changelings and other ponies being held prisoner as what looked like the queen turns her gaze to Malakai with an arched brow.Malakai grins and removes his helmet, his long hair flowing behind him with a charming smile and dreamy eyes with sparkles around them now visible. Though that probably would have worked without his scary face paint.
My my, looks like you have quite the pest problem here. Not the best conditions for an ideal wedding.”
“Malakai!”
Shouted Fluttershy and the others in delight as they noticed it was him once he took off the helmet. He walks closer with his gun pointed at Chrysalis along with Grunt and Tali as well. He chuckles lightly and arches a brow.
“I take it that you are the groom’s angry ex or something and you decided to come and wreck his wedding?”
“Who in Equestria are you? WHAT are you?!”
She demanded. Malakai gave a big toothy grin.
“Why, I am the master of chaos. How else would I have been able to conjure up this quarian and krogan...and the massive ship outside that has it’s thanix cannon lined up on you?”
He then places his finger to his ear again.
“Joker, do the other thing.”
“Doing the other thing, Commander.”
The Normandy parks itself outside of the chapel window with the thanix cannon starting to charge up. He looks to Chrysalis who was just as confused as everyone else, though from what she could feel from that charging cannon, she knew she was going to be in a lot of trouble. Malakai heard Joker on the other end of his coms.
“The thing is ready, Commander.”
Before he could give the order, however, a large magical light filled the room as the bride and groom did some kind of ‘the magical power of love’ attack and sent the changelings and the queen flying off to the other end of Equestria. Malakai lets out a sigh of disappointment and snaps his fingers as everything he conjured up disappears.
“I wanted to do that…”
He said with his arms crossed, a pouty look on his face. But it was soon removed when he felt Fluttershy run up to him and wrap her arms around him in a big hug. She smiles up at him and giggles.
“That was quite impressive nonetheless. Thanks for coming when you did Malakai.”
Malakai blushed a bit and wrapped his arms around Fluttershy in a hug.
“It...was nothing.”
After making sure everyone was alright and all the changelings had gone away, things settled down and Malakai was introduced to the real bride. She approached him and looked him up and down. He certainly wasn’t what she expected him to be.
“So, you are Malakai? The master of chaos? I certainly expected you to look more like...I don’t...more different.”
“Well, I know I don’t look like Discord, but I am most certainly different. Doesn’t that count for something?”
She giggled lightly and nodded. She walked up to him and hugged him firmly.
“Anyways, thank you for coming when you did. It gave me time to reach my husband and break the mind control that Chrysalis had on him...sorry we stole your moment of glory.”
Malakai waved his hand in dismissal, offering a smile back to Cadence.
“Eh, there is always next time.”
The wedding went on as planned. This time, however, Malakai went ahead and stay since both Shining and Cadence asked him to. Turns out the wedding wasn’t that bad, especially the party afterward. He was standing out on the balcony with a drink in his hand deep in thought when Celestia approached him from behind. She offered a smile and called out to him.
“I am surprised you even came, Malakai. Let alone help out. Maybe you aren’t such a nuisance after all.”
Malakai laughed and turned to face the tall alicorn. A toothy grin forming across his face. She knew that smile all too well.
“I simply did it because I was bored and had no plans. Don’t get used to it, Sunbutt.”
Celestia glared a little at him with puffed cheeks. But she couldn’t stay mad, he did help them after all, even if it wasn’t intentional. Suddenly Fluttershy walked onto the balcony beside Malakai and smiled up at him happily. He returns the smile and reaches up to pet the mare gently on her mane. The two began talking to one another and Celestia smiled warmly and walked away.
You act like you don’t care, but I can see that you do, Malakai. Especially when it comes to her…
Celestia thought as she walked away to leave the two alone. And she was right. It seemed like each day He and Fluttershy spent together, their bond deepened more and more. Malakai only seemed to think they’d be friends and nothing more. But little did he know, that he was in for a big surprise, and it would all start out with a day that Fluttershy had planned for them. Their first date.
