//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: When We're Evil/Found the Answers // Story: My Little Pony Equestria Girls: Halloween Havoc // by Brerdaniel //------------------------------// Dr. Facilier and the Raven return to the Forbidden Mountains as they came out of the dark aura portal and they approach to Maleficent and the other villains in the throne room. "I'm back!" Dr. Facilier called. Maleficent, Jafar, Cruella, Ursula, Captain Hook, Hades, Scar and The Evil Queen notice his return and realize he came back with nothing much to the Queen's dismay. "How dare you return here, you blundering fool?" she scolded. But the Shadow Man calms her down as he tells them what happened today. "Now, now, I know what you're thinking." He said. "But I believe I have some information I think Y'all like to hear." "Oh? You have huh?" Scar asked. "Yes I have Scar it appears the rumors were true." He explained. "The strange powerful magic that came to Canterlot High must've come from a place called Equestria." "Equestria?" said Maleficent in a surprising voice the other villains were also rather surprised to hear this. "What was that name again?" Hades asked as he heard it rather familiar. "Equestria." The Shadow Man answered as he uses his voodoo magic to shows the image of Sunset Shimmer and her friends Sci-Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie to the villains. "I heard it by seven teenage girls who call themselves the Rainbooms and I believe they do have this kind of power." "Those brats have that kind of magical powers?" confused Captain Hook. "Why should we be looking at them?" said Cruella in disbelief. "They don't have that kind of power!" Hades interrupted the confusing conversation. "Oh wait I'm sorry time out, I believe I've heard about this Equestria, It's a world where all ponies, dragons, griffons, and all other mythical creatures lived. Ha heard about that in the underworld." "Hmm….Interesting." grinned Jafar. Ursula is still confused about this whole Equestrian Magic trying to think of a possible explanation. "But how did this Equestrian Magic came to that school in the first place?" Dr. Facilier shows them the image of Sunset Shimmer as he explains to them. "I believe this girl named Sunset Shimmer might have something to do this." "And why would that be?" Scar asked. The Shadow Man puts out the file of Sunset's school records which he secretly stole from Principal Celestia's office. And his magic shows the villains everything about Sunset's past. "I looked up at her school records and they say she came from Equestria itself. She once tried to steal a magical crown that belongs to a pony princess who calls herself Twilight Sparkle." Jafar was impressed about this and said. "Well then, she had a quite reputation in this Canterlot High." "Yes, she has." Said the Shadow Man continuing his story "And during the Fall Formal School she manages to put on the crown and it magically transforms her into a she-demon and uses her powers to turn the students into zombies until this Princess Twilight comes in and stops her with the help from these five students." The image shows them Twilight and the Human Mane Five pony up much to their surprise. "What's this? They can transform?" Captain Hook asked. "That's…That's not possible!" said Cruella in disbelief. The Shadow Man's magic continues the montage of everything that Sunset and her friends did in the past: The Musical Showcase, The Friendship Games and Camp Everfree as Facilier finishes it up. "Oh, it is. Now that Twilight's crown has returned to Equestria. Some of its magic must've remained within the school and those girls even as we speak." "So the rumors were true!" the Evil Queen smiled. "There is Equestrian Magic in this school." "Well, perhaps you did have some proof after all Shadow Man you have done well." Said Scar. "But there is a problem how can we find this Equestria place?" Jafar asked as he pointed his finger to the image of Sunset. "This girl Sunset Shimmer must've come from there so I believe there might be some portal that'll lead us to it." "Fear not my friends it'll take us ages to find it." Maleficent stood up. "Besides their magic could be quite useful to us for our plan." "Yes….our Halloween takeover." Ursula agreed. "Indeed." Said the evil fairy. "Once we gain control of Canterlot High we will invade Equestria as well." "That is a good plan I'm sure of it darlings." Said Cruella. "But how can we find this portal to this Equestria and this magic from that place?" And then Scar thought of the idea. "Well, I do think those seven teenage girls might have something to do this. Perhaps we can make some deals with them so that they can give us the way." Maleficent and the other villains turned confused to hear what Scar just said as they looked at each other and Hades stand up and asked the lion. "So, let me put it this way my furry friend, we make some deals to those girls so that they can give us their magic and a way to Equestria?" "Precisely." He answered. But Captain Hook didn't think this is such a good idea making deals with teenagers sounds ridiculous to him. "Humph, that is the most ridiculous plan I've ever heard! I'll stake my other hand if they did give them to us." "Oh yeah?" Scar argued. "You will have no hands at all since you lost one to that crocodile!" Captain Hook snaps angrily at Scar as he slammed his hook on the table real hard. "Shut up!" "ENOUGH!" Maleficent shouted when the thunder clash sound silences them. "Scar might be on to something," "Oh really?" Grimhilde asked. Maleficent stood up as she explains her new plan for Halloween. "Yes indeed, perhaps you all could try making deals with those girls and trying to make them fall them into our trap so that they cannot interfere with our plan of invasion of Equestria." "Yeah right but there is this one small detail." Said Hades when he pointed his finger to the image of Sci-Twilight. "From what I heard in the Friendship Games this other girl who is also named Twilight Sparkle she may not be the one who came from Equestria." "That's right…" The sea witch realized. "How could she possibly be different than the other one?" asked Cruella. "Perhaps she came from a different school that's far from Canterlot High." Hook said. "Hook is correct." Said the Evil Queen. "The Magic Mirror did tell me she came from the place called Crystal Prep High School." "Then why is she going to this school instead of staying at this Crystal Prep?" pondered Scar. The Shadow Man did show them the images of Sci-Twilight's time at Crystal Prep High School and ends up at Canterlot High in the end. "That other Twilight just got transferred over there ever since the Friendship Games ended." "I see," said Scar with the evil grinned. "Well then perhaps this would be a good advantage for us." "Come, my friends, we have a lot of planning to do for one Hallow's Eve they shall never forget," said Maleficent. "Bingo!" Hades cried with excitement. "This Halloween shall be a great one!" Maleficent and the other villains left the throne room to make plans for their Halloween take over as they use their evil powers to come up with a plan to trick Sunset Shimmer and the Mane Six to give them their magic powers to take control of the school and finding a portal to Equestria. As they began planning Dr. Facilier started to sing. (Parody of the song When You're Evil by Voltaire) Dr. Facilier: When the Devil is too busy And Death's a bit too much They call on me by name you see, For my special touch. Much to Hades' interest in the song he along with Scar, and Captain Hook join in the singing as the Lord of the Dead uses his powers to show the image of the Mane Seven. Hades: To the Gentlemen I'm Miss Fortune To the Ladies, I'm Sir Prize But call me by any name Anyway it's all the same Dr. Facilier: I'm the fly in your soup I'm the pebble in your shoe I'm the thing beneath your bed I'm a bump on every head I'm the peel on which you slip I'm a pin in every hip I'm the thorn in your side Makes you wriggle and writhe And it's so easy when we're evil Scar: This is the life, you see The Devil tips his hat to us We do it all because we're evil And we do it all for free Their tears are all the pay we'll ever need Maleficent and her allies continue planning on turning Canterlot High into their castle so that they can get the portal to Equestria and casting a spell on the students to be on their control. Scar: While there are children to make sad While there's candy to be had While there are pockets left to pick While there are grannies left to trip down the stairs Captain Hook: I'll be there, I'll be waiting 'round the corner It's a game. I'm glad I'm in it 'Cause there's one born every minute And it's so easy when we're evil This is the life, you see The Devil tips his hat to us Hades: We do it all because we're evil And we do it all for free Their tears are all the pay we'll ever need Their planning keeps going as the rest of the villains join in the singing as the images of their memories is show and they understand how each one of the villains knows how being evil is like. Maleficent: I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark And I promise on my dark soul To do as we've got planned The Devil himself Has never seen evil forces quite like us Not only does his job, but does it happily. The Evil Queen: I'm the fear that keeps them awake Dr. Facilier: I'm the shadows on the wall Ursula: I'm the monsters they become Scar: I'm the nightmare in their skulls Cruella De Vil: I'm a dagger in their backs Jafar: An extra turn on the rack Hades: I'm the quivering of their hearts A stabbing pain, a sudden start. Dr. Facilier began to summon his Friends on the Other Sides and they gave him his own talisman so he can steal their Equestrian powers. Dr. Facilier: And it's so easy when you're evil This is the life, you see The Devil tips his hat to us Captain Hook: We do it all because we're evil And we do it all for free Their tears are all the pay we'll ever need Hades: And we do it all for free Their tears are all the pay we'll ever need Dr. Facilier: And we do it all for free Their tears are all the pay we'll ever need! As the song ends Maleficent, Jafar, Ursula, Hades, Cruella, Hook, the Evil Queen, Scar, and Dr. Facilier laugh evilly as they go through the dark aura portal to Canterlot High to put their Halloween plan into action. At the Library back at school, Sunset Shimmer is looking for a book of something she remembered until she found the book she looks at it found the story and got her answer. "That's it! Now I know who he really is!" "Remember what?" Sci-Twilight asked in curiosity. Sunset Shimmer began to explain to her friends as she reveals a regular brown book with a symbol and says "Disney" on it. "The other day I came to the library I found this. It's a book that has the Disney stories and the way I describe Dr. Facilier, I think he calls himself "The Shadow Man". "Not the Shadow Man!" Pinkie screamed in terror before whispering loudly to Fluttershy "I don't actually know what that is!" Sunset Shimmer flipping through the pages of the book and landed on the story "The Princess and the Frog" and began to narrating."It says that Dr. Facilier is a voodoo witch doctor who often uses magic and trickery on the street to con customers out of their money. According to "The Princess and the Frog" He tricks Prince Naveen by turning him into a frog so that he can have Lawrence pose as Naveen and marry Charlotte LaBouff and kill Big Daddy LaBouff so he takes control of his money and New Orleans and makes a deal with his Friends on the Other Side to take away the souls of the people." Fluttershy began to shake in fear. "I don't think I like this story very much." Sunset continued her narration. "He even tried to trick Tiana by trying to help her get her restaurant by giving his talisman back but she refuses to listen and tries to throw it to the ground but his shadow catches it and turns back into a frog but she uses her tongue to get it and smashed the amulet to pieces and so his Friends on the Other Side dragged him into the spirit world where his soul will be doomed to remain for all eternity." "I've seen this before he must be the same guy from the movie." Sci-Twilight realized. "Me too, but Tiana defeated the Shadow Man in that movie. How come he's just surfacin' now?" Applejack asked. "I don't know," said Sunset. "But if my theory is right if it's the Shadow Man he came to Canterlot High the spell he just cast might be the beginning. But still, I can't figure out how he got here in the first place ever since I look at his box that raven attacked me." "Wait, Raven? What Raven?" Rainbow Dash interrupted. "Just some Raven that was following the Shadow Man while I was giving him the tour today and—" Before Sunset continues explaining Rainbow Dash takes the book out of her hands and turns the pages back and lands into another one of Disney's classics stories Sleeping Beauty and found the picture that she was looking forward. "Did the raven look something like this" Rainbow Dash asked as she shows the picture of the Raven with Maleficent in the book. "Yes, that's it! Wait a minute…." Sunset Shimmer takes a closer look at the picture and she gasped and her eyes widened in shock. "What is it Sunset?" Fluttershy asked. "That means that Raven must be Maleficent's. And that box I saw must belong to…." Sunset grabs the book from Rainbow's hands and turns the pages back and lands on the story of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and founds the picture of the same box and other Disney villain who holds it. "The Evil Queen!" "You mean the one from Snow White!?" Sci-Twilight asked in surprise. Sunset nodded her head and shows the picture to her friends and Spike became so frightened by the picture he jumped into Sci-Twilight's arms. "I don't like her she gives me the willies." He said. Rarity began to get things straight. "So Darling, if this Dr. Facilier is the Shadow Man from the Princess and the Frog and this raven is Maleficent's pet and that box belongs to The Evil Queen. Do you think…." "Girls I'm afraid we're going to have something far more badly than the evil magical creatures from Equestria." Sunset worried and comes to conclusion. "The Disney Villains are coming." The Girls looked at each other looking rather confused about this believing that Dr. Facilier is not from Equestria but from another world. "The Disney Villains?" Applejack said in confusing voice. "How is that even possible?" Rarity asked. Sunset Shimmer replied to her friends. "I'm not sure but I have a hunch that Maleficent and the Evil Queen might have something to do with the Shadow Man they must have somehow sent him here to look for something and I get the feeling those 3 aren't exactly the only ones who are coming." "Ooh, ooh! You mean some other villains like Jafar from Aladdin, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, Hades from Hercules, Scar from The Lion King, Captain Hook from Peter Pan, and Cruella De Vil from 101 Dalmatians?" Pinkie Pie asked so quickly and gave big smile grin the girls look at each other couldn't figure out what Pinkie Pie just said but Rainbow scratch the back of her head and answered her question in disbelief. "Yeah, I'm pretty sure they won't get involve in this." "Maybe, still if they do show up in Canterlot High we have to be careful there's no telling what they're up to." Sunset pointed out. "But why would they come here?" Rainbow asked. "Probably came looking for your magic," Spike answered much to Sci-Twilight's annoyance. "Spike, that's ridiculous! What makes you think they might be after their magic?" "Nothing Twilight I was wondering if they are or not." Said Spike nervously. Sci-Twilight let out a sigh and said sadly. "Well I don't want to get involve of whatever it is this Shadow Man is planning but I don't want to make the same mistake as I did in the Friendship Games." "Twilight, it's okay, we won't ever let that happened." Said Sunset placing her hand on Sci-Twilight's shoulder. Rainbow Dash waves her fist into the air and scoffed. "Besides if those Disney baddies show up, I'll give'em something like this!" she began doing some karate moves and yells. She threw a punch but it is blocked by Applejack. "We've got nothin' to worry about now that we know who this Dr. Facilier really is, besides those Disney Villains won't stand a chance since we got the magic of friendship inside of us." "Oh, I'm pretty sure I could find something to worry about." Said Fluttershy. "But it won't be the Disney Villains." "And in the meantime, I just now figure what we could dress up as for Halloween!" Rarity giggled. Which it concerns Applejack. "Rarity, what are you thinking about?" To answer her question Rarity pulled out a few pictures of the Disney heroes and heroines from the book. "Well, the book Sunset show us gave me some ideas I figure I could design some costume of those heroes and heroines" Pinkie Pie picked out the picture of Honey Lemon. "Oooh! I wanna be as Honey Lemon in her Super Hero outfit from Big Hero 6!" "Well, I'm certainly glad you chose it, Darling." Said Rarity. Fluttershy pointed at the picture of Princess Aurora from Sleeping Beauty. "Well, I certainly want to dress up as Princess Aurora." "Dibs on the costume of Judy Hopps she's my favorite!" said Rainbow Dash showing the picture of Judy Hopps from Zootopia but Rarity grabbed the picture out of Rainbow's had. "Sorry Dashie, I'm already thinking of dressing up as Judy this year how about a costume of Simba?" Much to Rainbow Dash's dismay, she has no choice but to go with the Adult Simba and let out a sigh. "Fine but I want to be Judy Hopps next year!" "Deal." Said Rarity. "I want to dress as Simba too!" said Spike pointed at the picture of Simba as a cub. "I mean when he's a cub of course. What are you gonna dress as Twilight?" Sci-Twilight answers her dog's question and points her finger on the picture of Snow White. "Well, I'm thinking of being as Snow White that'll be a perfect costume for me, Spike." "Not good of makin' decisions of my own Y'all." Said Applejack and point her finger at the picture of Peter Pan. "But I guess I'll choose the Peter Pan costume." "In that case, I think a costume of Princess Jasmine should fit perfect for me." Said Sunset Shimmer showing the picture of the character herself. "Think you can get those costumes ready for tomorrow Rarity?" Fluttershy asked. Rarity replied. "Easier said than done Fluttershy, you girls think I wasn't born yesterday?" "Fair enough." Said Applejack. "Just as long as you don't stay up all night working on these outfits. Yer gonna, aren't ya?" "No. Yes!" Rarity chuckled. "Don't worry. I'll have them ready before you girls even know it." The school bell rings and it means it's time to go home the girls gathered their things and began to leave the Library Sunset looks behind her and notice Sci-Twilight was thinking of something. "Hmm? What the matter Twilight?" she asked. "Huh? Oh. I was just thinking about those Disney Villains we were talking about. What if they were planning to find the portal to this Equestria world where your friend lives?" Sunset was thinking was same thing herself she beginning to get a bad feeling about this. "If they are than Equestria will be in big trouble but that won't happen if we stand up to them." "I know but still…." Before she can continue Sunset puts her hands on Sci-Twilight's shoulders. "We'll talk about this later. Right now let's get ourselves back home okay?" Sci-Twilight smiled at Sunset's her words and nodded. "Okay come on Spike." She picks up Spike into her arms and left the library with Sunset Shimmer as they walk out of the library Sunset begin to hear a mysterious voice. "Sunset…Sunset…" "Huh?" Sunset turned around and it came from the library. "Did you hear that?" "Hear what?" Sci-Twilight asked. But Sunset shook her head probably just her imagination playing tricks on her. "Nothing, I guess must be hearing things. Come on let's go home." Sunset and Sci-Twilight leave the school and walked all the way to their homes but Sunset began to wonder what that mysterious voice is she'll have to come back tomorrow and find out.
