//------------------------------// // Chapter 3: Meeting the Princesses and a deadly alliance (edited) // Story: My Little Mixel Mixing is magic // by darkmage1997 //------------------------------// After some walking, the ponies, humans, and the Mixels all arrived at the castle, to see that Balk and Lunks mix had ended, "Ok, we have at least half an hour before Celestia and Luna arrive, so until then, we can all just mingle," Twilight said, leading the group inside the castle. Toby was about to follow his friends and family when he heard someone trotting towards him, "Oh, sweetie pie!" Toby smiled when he heard his fillyfriends voice call to him, and turned to see her, along with the other fillies following, "Hey sweetie pie, didn't you hear about what happened?" the gray filly asked her human coltfriend. "About a dog like creature causing havoc in Ponyville?" Toby asked. Silver Spoon gasped at how he was able to guess so accurately, "Yes, how did you know?" Silver Spoon asked, quirking an eyebrow in confusion. "Well, lets just say that was a bit of a murp that some new friends caused by accident," Toby explained. "What's a murp?" Diamond Tiara asked. "I think it would be easier to let our new friends explain, they're all inside," Toby said, just noticing Lunk was only halfway through the door, "Except for Lunk, that is," Toby deadpanned, as he watched the Frosticon slowly making his way to the throne room. "Who and what is that?" Silver Spoon asked. "That's Lunk, he's a Frosticon Mixel, and one our newest friends," Toby replied. "What's a Mixel?" Dinky asked. "They're colorful creatures that can combine to make mixes, maxes, or murps, like the one that caused havoc throughout Ponyville, using tools called cubits," Toby replied. "Who are these ponies?" Lunk asked, looking at the young human and his friends. "These are Diamond Tiara, Dinky Hooves, and my fillyfriend, Silver Spoon, and my big sisters, Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo," Toby replied, looking up at the tallest Frosticon, as he and the fillies followed Lunk to the throne room. Once at the throne room, the fillies were surprised to see more Mixels. "Wow!" was all the fillies were able to say. The Mixels then took notice of the fillies. "I was wondering where you were Sweetie Belle," Rarity said, looking at the smaller unicorn filly. "We were all at Sugarcube Corner having some after school snacks, when this weird dog like creature came and started sliming all of Ponyville, so we stayed inside of Sugarcube Corner until we thought it was safe," Sweetie Belle reassured her seamstress sister. "Then we heard what sounded like rock concert coming from somewhere near Wills ranch," Scootaloo added on. "And after a while, we all decided to see if Twilight was doing something about what was going on," Applebloom said.. "And that's when we saw Toby following Lunk inside the castle," Silver Spoon concluded, looking at her coltfriend and the Frosticon. Just then, they all heard knocking coming from the front door. "Oh, that must be Celestia and Luna!" Twilight said, trotting towards the door. Once at the door, she opened it to reveal the regal sisters and their sons, "Hello Celestia, Luna, boys," Twilight said with a bow. "It is good to see you again as well Twilight, and I got your letter about these 'Mixels' and the 'Murp' that wreaked havoc in Ponyville," Celestia said, smiling at her number one student and fellow Princess. "If we may ask, can you take us to these 'Mixels'?" Luna asked the lavender alicorn. "Right this way please," Twilight said, leading them into her castle. Once they entered the throne room, the other alicorns and their sons all gasped at the creatures that stood before them. Noticing the new alicorns, the leaders of each tribe then walked over to them, and bowed their heads respectfully, "You must be Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, Twilight told us about you. Any way, my name is Flain, I'm the leader of the Infernites," Flain said, looking up at the regal sisters. "That's right, and you all must be the Mixels that Twilight told us about in her letter," Celesta said, looking down at the red Mixel. "We are, and we're the leaders of our own individual tribes," Teslo said, looking at the white Alicorn. "Well, with that little mishap with that 'murp', the ponies might think you're all here to invade our land, but we can see that you all mean no harm," Luna said, pointing out a possible fact. "Well, we're not here to cause anyone trouble, we just came to find out where Krader disappeared to," Gobba said, placing a hand on his Cragster friends shoulder. "Well, it doesn't matter what the reason is, you may have caused a panic among the ponies, but we should try to show them that you came to Equestria in peace," Celestia said. "I know! The annual Mix festival is coming up, maybe if we send invites to the ponies of Ponyville, we may be able to *bzzt* show them that we're all fun loving guys!" Teslo suggested. "Are you ok?" Drake asked the Electroid leader. "He's fine, Electroids have a tendency to shock themselves, unfortunately," Musica said, giving her boyfriend a sad smile. "Ok, so what pray tell is the Mix festival?" Celestia asked. "Its where we celebrate the rad, totally awesome power of the cubit," Flain said, holding up a cubit. "Ok, so, since Ponyville was the only place that was affected by the 'murp', we should invite the citizens of Ponyville to the Mix festival, if its ok with all of you?" Celestia asked. "Oh yeah, the more the merrier I say," Kraw said, smiling at the white alicorn. "Very well, then we shall tell everyone in Ponyville to come to the Mix festival once its time. But before we go, when will the Mix festival be?" Luna asked. "It will be this Saturday, at noon," Tobus said, looking at the blue alicorn, which she, along with her children, sister, and nephew all nodded in understanding, and left the castle to seek the mayor. Meanwhile, in some sort of white no space, "BAH! Where are those miserable Mixels?!" snapped a large black, rectangular creature with a white circular face with a moustache, and army applets and a medal. "NIX! NIX!" said a smaller square creature with a white face as well. "BAH! You Nixels are hopeless!" the larger one said. "Your minions may be useless alone, but what if they had some aid?" asked a sinister voice. The large creature turned to the source of the voice, and saw a large black horse bug hybrid creature, with a red mane and tail. and it had holes all over its body. "And just who are you?!" the large creature asked. "Please, forgive my unannounced intrusion, my name is Mephestio, king of the Ragelings," the bug pony said, extending a hoof to the large black creature. "Well I'm Major Nixel, and while its nice to meet you and all, but why are you here?" the Nixel Major asked, quirking an eyebrow. "I'm here to ask for you aid in rescuing my little sister, Chrysalis, from the clutches of the ponies of Equestria. Apparently, a creature by the species name of human has tainted her evil heart with friendship, something that we Changelings can live without, because we only seek power," Mephestio said, giving the major a proposition that he could not refuse. "Duh, did you say humans?" they both jumped when they heard a rather dumb sounding tone. They turned to see a large spherical creature with a really pointy nose. "Uh, yeah, why?" Major Nixel asked. "To the gumans, humans are a delicacy, but for some reason, we can never remember what they taste like, so we always attack their cities," the new creature replied, which kind of freaked out the Rageling and the Nixel. "You eat these 'human' creatures?" King Mephestio asked. "Oh yeah, but they tend to be too crafty for us, so we try to find other means of survival," the guman said. "Ok, but who are you?" Major Nixel asked. "Oh, I'm Don Guman, the godfather of the gumans," the don said. "Ok, well a human child tainted the mind of my sister, so I want to try and get back at that wretched little whelp, so I guess I can help you with that," Mephestio said, gritting his teeth. "Well, I'd love to help you guys with your quests and all, but right now, I have plans of my own, and they involve stealing cubits from my mortal enemies, the Mixels!" Major Nixel said, clenching his fist. "Well, funny you should mention that. One of my scouts in Ponyville saw various large creatures in that town, but what if they never expect an attack from something not Nixel?" Mephestio asked. "Something not Nixel, eh? Boys, I smell the makings of a brand new alliance!" Major Nixel said, cackling evilly, along with the Rageling king and the Godfather Guman.
