Ganon is defeated, and this time for good. However, other, greater evils have been confirmed to be working in Equestria, all of whom are preparing for the return of the greatest evil of them all. Witness several key events that take place in the five years that span between the defeat of Ganon and the War of the Three Worlds.

It would've been an amazing day, if only I'd stayed away from that shady vendor. (standard displaced fic. this is my first story, sorry if it isn't good. rated T for swearing.) *takes place after season 4*

Vaati the Wind Mage has grown bored with the whole villain thing. He's trapped himself in a cycle doomed to repeat itself forever. Seeking a way to escape this miserable cycle of escape, kidnapping, and defeat, the legendary sorcerer inadvertantly teleports himself to another world entirely; a world populated by talking magical ponies who believe friendship is magic. Just how will the former villain survive this sugar bowl of a world? Will he end up learning a few lessons in friendship himself? One thing's for sure, retirement has never been this exciting.

AUTHOR NOTE: This story takes place in an episodic format. That is, it follows the style of the show in that every chapter is an 'episode', hence why they will all be lengthy. Some episodes will be canon ones with Vaati along for the ride, and others will be original where Vaati takes center-stage. The first episode takes place shortly after 'Griffon the Brush-Off'. Vaati is from Legend of Zelda and is property of Nintendo. You already know who owns FiM.

At last, the second season of your favorite wind mage's adventures in Equestria is here!

Just as Vaati has fully settled down into his new life in Equestria, the unthinkable happens; Ganon appears and declares his intent to conquer. Now, with the Princesses forced into hiding, the Elements of Harmony scattered all across the land, and races all around Equestria suffering under Ganon's harsh rule, it is now up to Vaati, Twilight, and their friends to join forces with unexpected allies, recover the Elements, and take the fight to Ganon. And all the while, an even greater evil plots from the shadows, enacting a scheme centuries in the making that shall soon encompass two worlds that do not yet know the connection they share...

And as the adventure gets underway, one by one, the Mane Six begin to have nightmares...

Meanwhile, the Cutie Mark Crusaders must combat the darkest depths of madness and twisted illusions if they want to save Scootaloo from falling victim to the evil power that weaves the strings of all their fates...

Rated T for action violence, minor language, mildly suggestive themes, and some scary/disturbing images.

Five years have passed since the final defeat of Ganon, and life has more or less returned to normal in Equestria. But the fragile peace does not last for long. Without warning, a portal to Hyrule opens up in the Everfree Forest. Sensing an opportunity, Princess Celestia drags Vaati and company to a diplomatic meeting to establish an alliance between Equestria and Hyrule.

But Vaati's return is met with open, fierce hostility, and the sorcerer is subjected to a trial that will doubtlessly be biased. But even as the people of Hyrule and Equestria debate Vaati's fate, the servants of Majora strike at last, and all the races of Hyrule and Equestria must make a bitter decision; unite against the powers of darkness, or be consumed by the evil of Majora.

The War of the Three Worlds has begun. It all ends here.
