It was a nice, sunny day in Canterlot. The birds chirped in glee, the calm wind blew through the busy streets filled with ponies doing their daily. It wasn't that long ago when a certain unicorn had a coronation of becoming a princess. Many Canterlot ponies, up to this day, talked about what would the new princess do to Equestria and the world. Overall, the day was peaceful.
Or so it seemed.
In the humble palace that was pretty much shown the entire city from the distance, Princess Celestia, current ruler of Equestria (duh), was sitting on a rug in her room, mind her own business. She stared at the sky from her balcony window as if she was waiting on somepony to arrive. Though, in her mind, she thought that this day was more quiet than any other typical day.
She recalled last night event that may or may not made the day so silenced -Celestia brought four two-legged creatures from another dimension. Yeah who figured. The princess used a portal spell because she was bored out of her mind and wanted to do something interested, beside the fact that she had her royal duties, but who would even gave a hoof? Of course, she could've trolled Discord, Twilight, or Luna by doing servier things that they wouldn't do, but then, the idea would be the last thing to do on her mind, right? After all, she's a bucking princess and she could do anything she wanted. It's not like somepony's parents were the creators of the world who were under the surveillance of God Almighty, her parent's master and gave their only daughters the ruling of Equestria, but that's a story for another time.
So Princess Celestia decided to use the spell and checked what was beyond it. When she did, an oval shape object appeared in front of her eyes. The outline was flaming, but
"Strange," the princess questioned herself, "I opened a portal to another dimension and I get this."
She sighed in defeat of the amount of failure that it showed.
"I guess I owe Starswirl Beard an apology, if I get the chance to do so."
From that point on, Celestia thought it was just a void from the edge of the galaxy.
Just when the princess was about to closed it, she suddenly heard loud cheering from the portal. The sun goddess looked at the portal once more and saw lights faded in. The music started to play as the darkness revealed what seemed to be a rock band of four male beings. The performance was simple, but it was unlike the music that Celestia heard before.
This must be rock, but they sound more... darker.
Within ten minutes of watching, Princess Celestia started to enjoy this sort of music. She was fascinated how the lyrics were understandable; yet, she never fully understood the meaning of the songs. She just had that feeling when somepony didn't understood something, but they adapted it in their conscious mind. Unlike most music Celestia heard throughout her lifetime, the band was different, but unique in their own way. Not even the pop artists of Equestria weren't even close enough to top these ape looking beings. The music was getting to her that she wanted to meet them immediately. Celestia's mind was filled with questions, mostly how did they made up these lyrics. She must know.
As the princess watched the ape-looking beings perform, Luna suddenly came into the room and surprised her sister by a tap on the back. Celestia got so scared that she accidentally cast a vacuum spell towards the beings, which made them sucked through the portal, which was located at the sky. The crowd started to scream as the band went through as it closed on it's own. Princess Celestia looked at Luna and instead of laughing like a total mule, she looked at the beings as her pupils shrunken to tiny dots. They got up and saw the princesses in front of them. Without warning, the moon goddess casted a sleeping spell on them. Within a second, they collapsed to the ground, snoring afterwords. Celestia wasn't pleased what her sister had done.
"Have you gone mad?" asked Princess Celestia angrily.
"Sister," Luna replied, "They were going to attack you."
"No they weren't."
"You never know." The little sister pulled out a cup and drank it from the straw, making the slurping noise.
"Don't make me put you back to the moon, sis." Celestia made that look.
Luna, then stopped what she was doing and looked at her trolling sister.
"Thought so."
So, they placed the creatures into the guest rooms and let them rest into next morning.
During the night, Luna went to each creature's dream to identify who they were. Long story short, she freaked out how each one was more bizarre than any dreams she encounter in her lifetime and wished that they would get back where they came from. On the plus side, she figured out their names.
~~~
"Your majesty," said the royal guard who looked like that one pony in the movie, "They wish to speak with you."
"Let them in." smiled Celestia.
The guard left the room and came back shortly with the rock band. The princess seemed so fan girl to have aliens in her palace. Her parents would've been so proud of her.
"Morning, beings." She greeted them, "I'm Princess Celestia, ruler of Equestria. I know you all have questions in your minds, but I'll answer them the best I can."
The band exchanged looks before staring back at the princess.
Don't tell me the portal taken away their ability to talk. Celestia worried in her mind.
"In that case, what are you?" asked one of the members asked.
Thank heavens!
"I'm an Alicorn, a unicorn and a pegasus mixed together." The princess was relieved.
"Well, it's nice to meet you princess." He bowed down in front of Celestia. "I'm Serj Tankian and I assum the pony in our dreams is your sister."
"Well, yes." Princess Celestia was astonished. "And you three are Daron, Shavo, and John."
The three nodded.
"And you all humans correct?"
"We are." said Serj.
"Okay. I'm just making sure because my little sister told me about your dreams and they were...disturbing."
"We're sorry about that." said Daron as he tried to hid a smirk on his face, "We came from a freaky world."
Princess Celestia sat down on her rug as she gave a gentle smile to them.
"Would you gentleco- I mean gentlemen, want something to eat?" the princess asked.
Before Serj Tankian would answer, there were growling noises that occurred in the room. The band placed their hands on their stomachs as Celestia began to giggle.
"So I guess that's a yes."
Author's Note
Here is where you guys come in for this story. Should I improve this chapter with an editor or let it be? I don't want to cancel this because I just want to get this story out of my vault and into the website. So yeah, SOAD!!!! X3
Sorry I don't get to say as much as I do.
Author's Note
Yeah. Considered this story cancelled. Why? Well, this is one of those ideas that it's great at first, but you have to put a lot of effort to it. Like storywise, character development, -wait that's every writer's struggle. What I mean is, this story was never meant to be. Like, SOAD is just purely awesome, but can't be never be put into story mode. For those who haven't heard of their music, just listen to the following songs; Aerials, Chop Suey, BYOB, and Sugar. These will give you an idea of what they are and what they sing about. Want more info? Research them.
Anyway, I thought this would be my big break. This is System of a Down here, one of the best metal (or nu metal) band ever. No one wrote a fanfic about this amazing crossover. Sure there was inspiration fanfics, but never a full on story of them. And now, it's too much to process. (And the fact that this story was never taken seriously.)
So, if you want, take this idea and try to make it serious. Go nuts. I will applaud the person who has the guts to write the story. And this is saying from a huge SOAD fan.
Until then, enjoy the following words that was going to happen in this story.
War?
If you want to know what happens next here it is.
System, Princess Celestia and Luna had breakfast and Daron shared a blunt with Celestia, Luna, and Shavo. Both princesses were so stoned that they had to stay in their rooms for the entire day for "dumb" reasons. The next day, Princess Celestia had a chat with Serj about the band's songs and stuff while Luna babysits the others. The sun goddess was so surprised because she learned that their world was filled with evil, but there's hope for their kind because their music were about social consciousness. Then, Discord came by and tried to troll System, but soon realized that they can counter troll and it was harsh. So harsh that he even made himself blue and spinned off to the distance. Soon after, Princess Celestia offered System to perform their songs for her and the rest of Canterlot. Serj and his band mates agreed under one condition and it was to have an orchestra to perform with them. A week later, The performance was held at the palace where everypony in and outside of Canterlot came to watch them perform. Finally, the performance started with their song Aerials and everypony was amazed, including Princess Celestia because the song matched with the orchestra. One song after another, the music was wonderful. Even their song Roulette, had an orchestral feel. Eventually, System finished their performance and was soon transported back to Earth where they were gone for the past three years, where they released their new album, "Ego-system". And it was the best album ever. All thanks to ponies.
The End
