This story is a sequel to A series of unfortunate events that leads to another redeemed villain, yay!

After an old foe long thought to be dead makes a surprising return, and with Celestia, the Mane 6, and every royal guard fighting off an alien invasion, it is up to Luna and her band of reformed baddies to go up against this threat. Oh, and Captain Goodking (formerly The Storm King and The Magic King) tags along too because he thinks it will help with his superhero career.

Special thanks to AnnEldest for helping me with grammar and giving me good writing advice, and DmitriTheWriter for thinking up of the idea of the Seals Of The Planets and Kronos.

Note: this story is a prequel to A series of unfortunate events that leads to another redeemed villain, yay!

Gather round, my little ponies because I'm gonna tell you the tragedy of Sacanas (well, it's more of a Tragicomedy than anything but the sentiment still remains) and how he came across his apprentice that you have seen in the previous story. It is also a story with mercenaries, psychotic jesters, and time travel (along with traveling to other worlds, of course).

PS: Yes, this story was partially (key word being partially) inspired by the Darth Plagueis novel so don't be too surprised as to how Sacanas' story ends. Also, since it's a prequel, don't be too surprised if it ain't as good as A series of unfortunate events that leads to another redeemed villain, yay! (although personally, I think it's just as good. Then again, I find Jar Jar's antics in The Phantom Menace to be amusing so what the Tartarus do I know?)

But if you want the long description, here it is: The Storm King has been given a second chance by attending a Redemption Class in Twilight's School of Friendship (with that particular class being taught by Discord because he would not stop bugging everyone about it). Of course, redeeming him isn't going to be that easy but, as you can tell by the title, he will come around (especially when there is a worse threat at stake).

In spite of the name, no, there is no Jim Carrey or Neil Patrick Harris to be found here so prepare to be disappointed if you were hoping for that. The only reason I named this fanfic like that is because it sets up the satyr-ical (get it, because The Storm King looks a little bit like a satyr) tone of the fanfic.

PS: The "Yay!" in the title is sarcastic.
