As Bad Guy came back through the portal, everypony immediately noticed that his wings carried over and he noticed the light blue Earth Pony with a harp as his cutie mark looking right at him, "I'm back bitches! And I even keep my wings, wait... does that make me an alicorn by technicality?" Bad Guy asked aloud.

Sweetie Belle ran up to hug him and he returned the hug, "I'm glad you're okay," Sweetie Belle said.

"Did you think I'd really leave my only friend behind forever? Oh, right, Twilight, could you think up a way to keep the mirror portal open... forever?" Bad Guy asked as he broke the hug.

Twilight looked at him in confusion but knew that she had to say something, "It... could be possible but it could take time, like two days worth," Twilight answered as Bad Guy nodded.

"Well, do it, I told Sour Ball's mother that I'd care for Sour Ball on the weekends and I need that portal to be open for those days instead of shut for a month at a time," Bad Guy said as Twilight nodded.

Dan, Brendan, Jacob, and Matthew(who was a teal pegasus foal) all approached Bad Guy while Twilight got to work planning her thing, "Sooo... what now, Bad Guy? I mean... our job is done, right?" Jacob asked.

Bad Guy looked unsure of how to answer this... "Just... live a life, I guess. If we're needed, life'll let us know," Bad Guy said, not even sure if he brought the half-hearted answer.

"At least, all's well that ends well," Matthew said in an incredibly happy tone.

"Yes, I'll be spending time here to get used to this world but maybe don't expect me around a whole lot," Dan said as he trotted off.

Brendan took his brothers and left Bad Guy's base. This left the CMC and the Mane 6.

"Darling, might you add some color to this place, seriously, it's still so bland," Rarity said and, frankly, she was right. It was starting to make him wish the color was brighter.

"I'm going to ask the marionettes to paint the place in a brighter color so I can start handling it better myself," Bad Guy admitted, feeling where his eye patch is... still there, he thought. He had really forgotten about his eyepatch the whole time, he had grown really attached to it over the last few weeks that he'd forgot all about it.

"Ah see what Rarity means by the eyepatch makin' ya look dark an' evil. Suits ya," Applejack said.

"Yeah, why do you have it anyways? Get into a fight and lost your eye or something?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Bad Guy, truthfully, didn't know the full story about it himself, he'd always been told he just... had it. "I... I don't know. I've had this eyepatch on me as long as I remember and my own father refused to tell me shit about it, often just telling me that it's a part of me, so that's what I assumed," Bad Guy said, not exactly contenting them but realizing it's no use asking him anymore.

The next day...

Bad Guy was sitting in his throne, talking with Celestia, Luna, and Cadence. "So, we agree that, because I do have a horn and wings, I am an alicorn just like you three and Twilight?" Bad Guy asks as all three mares in the room nod their heads, "Cool, my daughter is probably getting ready to see me and spend the weekend with her father so if the royalty could leave, that'd be welcome," Bad Guy said as the princesses left the room.

Bad Guy trotted into the portal room and found, the still unfinished, construction of the device to open the portal endlessly. He jumped through the portal and ended up outside the statue of Canterlot High. He saw his daughter, Cookie Crumbles, and a man clearly meant to be Hondo Flanks all approaching. Oh, and the counterpart to Rarity. "Hey kid, you ready for a weekend in Equestria?" Bad Guy said as they got close. Sour Ball immediately ran up to hug him then give him a devious smile.

"So you must be Bad Guy, my wife has told me lots about you, and I must say, your name suits you," Hondo Flanks said.

"Heh, only bad things then, wonderful! That's the impression I'm going for, must say, you look just as idiotic as I expected," Bad Guy said with a chuckle, "Anyways, meet and greet's over, I got a weekend to spend with my daughter, see you!" Bad Guy said, swooping Sour Ball up and jumping into the statue portal.

In Equestria again, Bad Guy set Sour Ball down and noticed that her tail is in a similiar spiky shape that his is, albeit more elegent. "Woooah, walking on four legs is strange..." Sour Ball said as she got her barings on how to walk. Once she was done being unable to trot, Bad Guy lead her into his throne room, now a bit of a brighter room with several brighter colors, "Woah, a whole throne room, just for you," Sour Ball said, looking around, "Could I see the town, I want to see how idiotic the cilivians are."

"I'd be happy to take you into town, had to head there anyways since I delightfully scammed so many ponies with the memory puzzle room Twilight suggested that I'm surprised I didn't come up with it sooner, they pay 15 or so bits, they leave confused about how I did it," Bad Guy explained, causing Sour Ball to chuckle.

In Ponyville...

Sour Ball was having the time of her life in town, taking things by just feigning innocence, pretending to be cute and defenseless, then keeping it up until they cave and give her what she wants, "Hehe, if I didn't know better, I'd say you had a cutie mark representing manipulation," Bad Guy said, causing Sour Ball to tilt her head, "Right, a cutie mark shows a pony's special talent, basically, 'Hi there, I'm what you're naturally good at and you can't say otherwise,' but we have had... exceptions to that," he explained.

Sour Ball thought long and hard, "... That's a stupid system. A very stupid system," she said.

"Brendan and Jacob'd agree with you. I think it's stupid as well but there are still mysteries to uncover about them and, just so I have more of an idea of what the hell these idiotic creatures can do, I want to do research," Bad Guy said as a very familiar pink face appeared. "Pinkie Pie, I swear on Brendan's name if you throw a party right now, I will find the nearest lava pool and throw you into it!" Bad Guy said but Pinkie was not deterred. In the matter of a few seconds Pinkie summoned her party cannon and summoned a party from literally thin air.

"What the hell just happened?" Sour Ball asked as everything finished.

"Pinkie being Pinkie," everybody who was just spontaniously brought to the party said aloud in unison.

"It's better to not question Pinkie Pie else your brain will shatter," Bad Guy said. Sour Ball stayed close to him because she was genuinely scared of a pony mare who could just summon stuff at will.

Then Pinkie started singing that cursed "Smile" song to try and cheer Sour Ball up and it worked... for the wrong reason. Pinkie thought the upbeat nature of the song was what cheered her up but... Pinkie soon realized that wasn't it.

It was something more disturbing.

After the party started, I closed viewing of the world and looked towards my guest, Lauren Faust. "They'll have to face Discord eventually, you know that, Brendan, you know that as well as I do," Lauren said, pointing out the one flaw my universe has... it hasn't faced Discord and really should have.

"I know Lauren, I do. I just... want them to get more used to it, if I let Discord do his thing before, it'd have been genuine hell!"

"Brendan! I've know you since how long!?"

"... 2019... so about five years as of this date."

"Just promise me you'll do this, not for me but for them! It doesn't have to be this season, it can be next season. All that matters is that they deal with Discord before matters get worse! The world's nearly merging is bad enough!"

"... I know. I'll... I'll figure something out."

TO BE CONTINUED.

Author's Note

So, yes. In the words Bad Guy'd use, "The canon has been thoroughly fucked!"

So... what's next? A season two.

Will Matthew and Dan make reappearences? Maybe.

What about Sour Ball? She'll be reappearing under the same name this way I don't have to make it harder on myself to differeniate the two.

Myself? Lauren Faust? Hmmm... maybe we will, maybe we won't, I'll never tell!

Any plot points of base MLP you wanted to include but couldn't due to major changes? I mean... not really. Only one I could think of is, well obviously, Discord but originally I had a plot point where Bad Guy and Sour Ball fight and that's how he'd get his wings but scrapped it for the father side point. Speaking of that...

Why did I make EQG Sweetie Belle(Or Sour Ball as she's been renamed) related to Bad Guy? ... uhh... it was a heat of the moment decision but it isn't one I regret. See, part of me wanted to give Sour Ball a reason to be evil while also using similiar tricks and plans to Bad Guy and what better way to do that than make them related. Something to point out is that, in canon, Brendan(the god one) made Sour Ball's colors look more like her sister's so they wouldn't get suspicious of her.

When's season 2? WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT!
