Act 6: Acting alone, or so

ACT SIX

*Mykan’s POV*

The next night, there was the most beautiful gathering I ever saw… even though I was seeing many fancy dressed and well-groomed ponies and other creatures too.

It still baffled me to why I was even invited to this ball, but here I was, and dressed in a nice tuxedo, which Rarity made for me in a snap.

She said that it was made as part of her apology, for being so harsh with me.

“I really don’t want to be your enemy, you know.” she said.

“Well, that’s a sweet gesture.” I said. “Uh… you look lovely in that gown.”

“Thank you.”

We said no more to each other, and Rarity went off to meet up with Spike.

Spike was also wearing a tux. Lightning and all the men of his unit wore their dress uniforms, which greatly resembled tuxedos, each was their corresponding color, and the girls, even Starla all wore fancy gowns.

Cadance and Shining Armor were present as well, but sitting in the royal box where their supreme royal majesties would soon appear when announced. Cadance’s mane was done in her special welcoming ceremonial style.

Being here was rather exciting for me, and yet I felt a little sad too. It reminded me of the first time I ever took Michelle to a fancy dinner and dance. That was our last date before I left on the shuttle…

My dear Michelle, how I missed her dearly, and my family…

What I would to give to find out what it was that brought me here to this world, and robbed me of all that was dear to me.

I was suddenly snapped out of my trance when the royal fanfare sounded, and their royal majesties were announced…

“Their royal majesties: Grand Ruler Celesto, Queen Celestia and Princess Luna… co-rulers of all United Equestria.”

Their majesties appeared in bright flashes of light; Grand Ruler was dressed in his pure white formal outfit, and the ladies were wearing their best royal garbs.

The crowds cheered and applauded as Grand Ruler welcomed them.

“Citizens of United Equestria…” he called out “We are gathered here to celebrate a new day of alliance and of peace and friendship.”

Celestia stepped forth.

“Near the boundaries of our planet, out in space, there floats a very large spacecraft from the planet Kallan. Yet, this amazing craft comes to us stripped of all arms, and all weapons. This ship is being presenting to us as a gift from the Kallans to help assist us in this dark time the pirates have caused, terrorizing our shipping lines.”

Princess Luna then stepped forth “And now, to the commander of the great ship given before us, we extend welcome and honored gestures to the ruler of Kallan: The Princess Avyanna.”

That’s when she, escorted by her guards and Mayne, entered the ballroom. Everyone gazed in extreme awe at the beautify that was her. She was a pure white dress with a flowing skirt. The sleeves were long and silky. Her long brown hair was braided into two large threads, just barely reaching the floor. Atop her head she wore a golden tiara with clear jewels.

Spike saw her, and could barely keep his mouth closed, much to Rarity’s chagrin. “How ridiculous.” she grumbled.

Applejack couldn’t help but giggle and tease “Sounds like somebody’s jealous.”

Rarity felt deeply offended “Jealous? I? Don’t be disgusting.”

“Not disgusting… beautiful…” Spike sighed.

Rarity finally lost patience, and pulled on his ear, snapping him out of his trance.

“Sorry…” he said.

I saw her, and she looked up. Our eyes met form across the room. She smiled softly at me and blinked her eyes once. I responded by blinking twice at her.

Lightning and their majesties noticed this as well, so did their majesties.

Earlier they had spoken, and were planning to keep tabs on me and on Avyanna.

“Greetings…” Avyanna announced “As you have been told, I present to you my flagship, the Kallanium, as a gesture for allow us to come to your world, and enlistment into your wonderful Starfleet. I understand these are difficult times for you; ours have not been so delightful either with those dreadful pirates out there. However, I believe that together, with our combined forces, we shall restore the balance and order, and maintain a wonderful treaty of friendship and negotiation.”

The crowds cheered, and the festivities began.

Avyanna took her place on a private throne, while the dances began. Most of the guests were already dancing, and others were chatting with friends or new acquaintances.

As for me, my eyes never left Avyanna, though she seemed to be a bit preoccupied with the many dozens of men who were lined up to greet and welcome her tenderly but gentlemanly.

This gave me an idea, and I softly snatched one of the roses from the décor that was directly behind me, so no one really noticed.

As Lightning and Starla danced, they managed to keep their eyes on me.

“What’s he doing?” Starla whispered.

“He can’t possibly want to meet with the princess after what he did the other day.” added Lightning.

Nevertheless, I was last in line to meet with the princess, the wait seemed rather short, as all those ahead me were only permitted no more than ten seconds, to greet the princess, kiss her hand, and then be off.

Avyanna’s expression lightened with slight delight as I approached her. “Why, Mr. Stevens…”

“Please…” I said “Let’s forget the formalities. Just call me Mykan.”

I kissed her hand, and offered her the rose, much to Mayne’s intense frustration.

“You are quite the gentleman, Mister-- I mean, Mykan.”

“Well, it was rather kind of you to request me here.” I said, and then extended my hand to her “Would you… care to join me in the next dance?”

Mayne stepped forth “The princess does not--”

“…Does not mind at all if she does.” Avyanna cut in as she took my hand, and I escorted her down to the dancefloor, ignoring all the gawking and silent exclaims form all the others.

Goldwin saw everything has he sat with the royal party “Gee, Mykan sure is lucky.” he said.

“Yes, it would seem so.” said Grand Ruler.

His wife and sister-in-law felt the same as he did; uneasy, and beginning to fear maybe I wasn’t the man they thought I was, but they still hadn’t enough proof.

Lots of room was given on the floor for the princess, as she and I danced slowly and softly. It was a good thing I remembered my steps when I danced with Michelle.

I even twirled her around so eloquently, and dipped her just as graciously.

“You’re quite skilled on your feet.” said Avyanna.

“I’m even more skilled off my feet, if you know what I mean.”

She fluttered her eyes seductively at me.

The ponies did not find this at all a good sign.

Rhymey and Fluttershy were the closest ones dancing near us.

“Do you think they’re… really together in something?” Fluttershy asked softly.

“It’s hard to say, I don’t know for sure,
But we better keep tabs on him and on her.” said Rhymey.

I had heard them, which made a chill run up my spine.

“Are you alright?” asked Avyanna.

“Oh… yeah… I’m fine. It’s just this dance is getting a little too slow for me.”

“Well, if you have a request… it is my party after all.”

I smiled and asked “Have you ever heard of “getting on down”… “Shaking it loose”?

“I don’t believe I have. Will you show me?”

I excused myself from her, and approached the orchestra, and made my request. The musicians and the conductor were baffled, but when I told them of the request from the princess, they obliged, and began to play a funky jazz song…

Much to the confusion of everyone at the ball…

Then I rejoined Avyanna, and I began to get my groove.

“I… still don’t believe I understand this sort of dance.” She said to me.

“Ah, it’s easy, you just go with the flow, pick up your feet, and follow the beat.”

I demonstrated before, and she began to bop her head to the music, and tapping her feet under her dress, which she lifted up and began to move around in sync with me.

The rest of the guests could not believe their eyes, but it was really happening.

“This is… rather…”

“Cool…?” I said.

Suddenly, Rainbow and Pinkie began to groove to the beat where they stood. “Now this is my kinda dancing.” said Rainbow.

“Uh-huh…” added Pinkie as she moved and grooved.

The boys began to jump to the music as well. They hardly had danced all night due to lack of dates. “Any longer of standing still and I’d be a statue.” said Buddy Rose.

“Tell me about it, I was about to fall asleep.” added Artie.

Soon many were grooving to the music.

Their majesties even bopped their heads and tapped their hands and feet slowly to the beat, but still they kept their eyes on me and Avyanna.

“What happens if we bump into each other?” she asked me.

“Means we become engaged…” I joked.

She blushed at such a thought.

“So, how do you like it here in United Equestria?”

“Oh, it’s not bad, but it could be better.”

“Oh?”

“It’s just that everyone around here thinks I’m a spy.”

“Working for me…?”

“That or working for those slimy pirates.”

“Well, you wouldn’t have to worry about all that stuff in my service.”

“Is that an invitation?”

“Are you interested?”

Just then, Mayne interrupted us. “Pardon me, your highness, but the supreme council staff if New Canterlot requests an audience with you. Need I remind you of your royal priority?”

Avyanna felt annoyed, but she had to excuse herself from me. “I hope you’re not too upset.”

“No, no, it’s been a pleasure.” I said as I kissed her hand again.

“My private shuttle leaves at midnight if you still wish to take my little invite.”

Then she left me, and Mayne gave me an angry glare before following her.

I didn’t see or speak to her for the rest of the evening as she was very busy, but it looked like I finally had that edge I was looking for.

Some of the others confronted me about.

“Well, I’d say someone made a good impression.” said Rarity.

“Well, you don’t have to sound jealous.” I teased “You’ve got a fine dragon there on your arm.”

Spike couldn’t help but chuckled softly, prompting Rarity to nudge him.

“The princess seemed very infatuated with you.” Lightning said.

“There wouldn’t happen to be… something going on with you two, is there?” asked Starla.

“…Nothing of any consequence.” I said “Don’t worry, everything’s going to be just fine… I hope.”

I walked off before any of them could ask me what I meant by that.

*POV Ends*

By midnight, the ball began to quiet down and break up. Many of the guests had already adjourned home, or to their reserved suites in the palace.

Princess Avyanna and her court were bidding goodnight to all the officials, councils, and other guests before returning to her ship.

Finally, as Avyanna left for the docking bay to catch her shuttle, the main group noticed that Mykan was nowhere to be found. Princess Luna, Krysta and Lightning were also missing as well.

“Last time I saw Mykan, he was speaking with the princess again.” said Shining Armor.

“Maybe he’s just saying goodnight to her…” Cadance suggested.

“But then… why hasn’t he come back yet?” asked Spike “We were supposed to be watching him, remember?”

Everyone felt very awkward and a little embarrassed for having let their guard down.

Their majesties did look a bit pleased, and yet did not scold, raise their voices or anything, and they huddled everyone forward to explain Lightning’s plan.

“Oh, Nellie!” cried Applejack.

“Aw, shucks. I wish I could’ve done that too.” added Rainbow.

Fluttershy felt nervous and worried “What if something goes wrong?”

Their majesties felt the same way. “Let us just hope nothing does.” said Celestia. Her husband nodded, and gazed up at the sky. He could see the Kallanium just past the moon with his eyes alone. “Be careful up there…” he muttered softly under his breath.

*Mykan’s POV*

Onboard the massive starship, all the guards were busy on their shifts, and many others were making final preparations for the big attack on United Equestria, which was to take place at dawn the next morning.

Some of the ships didn’t even look like the pirate ships that attacked me and the team, or the ones harassing Starfleet’s shipping.

These ships were actually fighters from Avyanna’s home planet, Kallan, and they were being specially fitted to look like marauders, and the pilots were men and women from Kallan, who swore allegiance to their princess, and were disguising themselves as bandits and thieves.

I knew all this, because I was there on the Kallanium… having accepted Avyanna’s invitation as her extra special guest.

“This is all incredible…” I said “The ponies will never know what hit them, or have time to react to anything.”

Avyanna nodded and softly stroked my arm “I’m really glad you accepted my invitation.”

I smiled slyly “How could I refuse such persuasions. Anyone from my world would give their very souls for even half of all this.”

We gazed deeply into each other’s eyes, and Mayne was growing all the more frustrated.

…What I didn’t notice… was a small shadowy force slipped out from the bottom of my boots, and scuttled off deep into the ship.

Later on, I was in Avyanna’s master bedroom; Quite possibly the best place to be on the entire ship.

It was as big as my house back in New Canterlot, with many windows showing the vast and beautiful views of dimensional space.

The whole place seemed setup like a honeymoon suite, complete with dinner and champagne, romantic candlelight, soft music, not the kind from Earth, but soothing and lovely nonetheless.

“I must know… where and how did you get all this?” I asked.

“That is highly classified information.” said Mayne.

“Which I do not mind in telling, but later…” said Avyanna. Then she ordered Mayne and her guards to leave us both in privacy, to which they did, and at that, Mayne had lost the last of his patience.

He feared that Avyanna’s infatuation with me would lead to extreme danger; he was ready to take drastic measures to ensure the success of the conquest of United Equestria.

…This was exactly what I suspected, and was hoping for.

Meanwhile, Avyanna was freshening up behind a dressing curtain; all I could see was her shadow in the dim light. I had to admit to myself, but this felt rather comforting and I felt my temperature rise.

“Do you like what you see?” she asked in a soothing voice.

“I don’t know…” I flirted back “Maybe I’d like a clearer view.”

As Avyanna continued to freshen up, she had no idea that I was mixing up something in my hand…!

During the ball, I had ventured outside to the royal garden, still under tight watch, but while no one was watching, again, I managed to slip a few leaves from a plant into my pocket.

During my hours of freedom, before I was arrested for suspected treason and espionage, I had done a little studying on Equestrian plant-life, and the leaves that I had were taken from a plan called the Dozy. It was very much like a daisy, except that its leaves and petals --which could be easily grounded up in bare hands-- contained small amounts of sleeping properties, which when grounded up would produce odorless, tasteless, yet powerful sleeping powders, used to make medicine.

I then poured the champagne into two goblets, and spread the powder I had made into one of the goblets. The powder dissolved instantly and was quite odorless. “Please work.” I muttered so softly.

Just then, all was silent, and I slowly turned round, and I almost forget that I was supposed to just be playing along. Avyanna was quite a sight… wearing a beautiful, silky white nightgown, and a purple satin robe with sequins around the edges.

“Do you like what you see?” she asked.

“You really enjoy asking me that.” I said with a playful smirk.

She fluttered her eyes at me and sauntered up to me. I took her hand and tenderly kissed it. “Glad to see court-shipping rituals are just the same here as in my world.”

I passed her the drugged goblet, and took the other one for myself, and we both sat down on the edge of her large four-poster bed.

We clinked our goblets together and she toasted, “To conquest… to leadership…”

“…To us.” I said.

She smiled lovingly at that, and we both looped our arms, and sipped our respective drinks. The liquid had a nice soft and bubbly taste, non-alcoholic, and rather sweet like ginger-ale.

“Tell me…” I asked kindly “What made you decide to want to take over United Equestria?”

“It is nothing personal, but more of a desire. I long to rule over more and spread my race across the cosmos…”

“So a basic hunger for power?”

“One might say that…”

She was starting to look a little tipsy, hinting the drug was working.

“But how did you come to possess all this?” I asked.

In her tipsy state, topped with her infatuation, Avyanna foolishly answered me “He resides in your world presently, in the place where you worked… and his name is… Ti…tan…”

…then she was out like a candle. I caught her in my arms, and gently lay her down on the bed. “Sweet dreams, and thanks…” I whispered.

Then I silently snatched her master key that would grant me access to anywhere in the ship, including out of her bedroom through a second, more private and unguarded exit.

This allowed me to creep about, but I carefully ducked the guards to avoid being seen. Fortunately, I found my way to the restrooms, and it was completely unoccupied.

One of the guards came in and was about to go into a cubicle, when crept up behind him and gave a good blow to the head with my fist, knocking him out could.

“Well, I knocked…” I joked, and then I quickly donned his uniform, and left the restroom. The other guards all bought it, and I just walked right past them.

*POV ends*

Mayne was sitting on the command-deck, and his frustration had finally pushed him over the edge. “We shall begin the attack at once.” he declared.

“But sir…” said a guard “The princess strictly ordered the attack at dawn.”

“The princess has been going against protocol too many times!” snapped Mayne “As her second-in-command, I am hereby taking over command due to her lack of efficiency, as is the law. We will attack at once! Begin preparations!”
