Second Universe
Chapter 15: Forges musical number
Previous Chapter Next ChapterThe next day we boarded the train to Canterlot, Twilight had sent a letter to Celestia about Zeros arrival and requested to meet him in person. Zero was busy taking in the landscape while the girls, which contained the mane six and my friends, were talking. Zero, Wasp, Zanny, Scary and I sat in our own booth. "Uh, bro?"
"Yeah Zero?"
"Why is there a spider on your shoulder?" He pointed to Scary.
"Oh, this is Scary, my pet of sorts." Scary waved a foreleg at my twin and crawled onto my head to rest in my hair. "He's actually very intelligent, Fluttershy told me that these spiders are very domesticated and make good pets, Crystal and Flare found him one night so we decided to keep him."
"Why'd you name him Scary?"
"He heard me say that word the night we found him and he seemed to like it, so that's what we named him. And we both have no right to judge." Wasp and Zanny just looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "Not important." They shrugged and went back to watching the land go by.
"Anyway, what should I expect when we reach Camelot?"
"Canterlot."
"You know what I mean."
"The ponies of the city are snobbish so expect some states and disapproving snorts. The princess is alright, don't expect a reaction from the guards."
"Like the ones at Buckingham Palace?"
"Yep." He nodded and began thinking about something. I pulled out the book Cipher gave me and began look through it. I found instructions on what to do when the likes of Discord and Sombra show up, I bookmarked the page and reached a point that made me freeze.
"You ok there bro?"
I continued to stare at the page, what was written there...it's not something that Cipher should have written. It showed the details of when I would die in this world. I shut the book, not looking into it any further. I should not know when I am destined to die, I would only work on preventing it. "I'm fine, I just read something that I shouldn't have." He looked at me curiously before looking away.
Damnit, I already saw the date, I swear to Griffith that this won't end well.
"Damnit!" Forge slammed his fist into a stone column. "He wasn't supposed to see that! That stupid Triangle has changed the course of events! Now I have to form a new plan!" He took in a breath and calmed his nerves. "It's alright, it's alright. I can work around this, I can put the timeline back on track."
He was currently on the floating island in the castle. "It ain't easy being evil, but, where's the fun in it being easy?"
He walked up to a stone thrown and snapped his fingers. "Music!"
As a tune started to play he began the cliché villain song.
(Music)
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
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
I'm the fly in your soup
I'm the pebble in your shoe
I'm the pea 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
He began spinning as he made his way down a long hallway towards a large chamber with another thrown made of crystal.
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
He walked over to a wall and pulled a lever and two large purple rings started floating around him.
While there's children to make sad
While there's candy to be had
While there's pockets left to pick
While there's grannies left to trip down the stairs
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 you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
He slid over to the throne and placed his hand on his chest and got on one knee.
I pledge my allegiance, to all things dark
And I promise on my damned soul
To do as I am told, Lord Beelzebub
Has never seen a soldier quite like me
Not only does his job, but does it happily
His eyes glowed red.
I'm the fear that keeps you awake
I'm the shadows on the wall
I'm the monsters they become
I'm the nightmare in your skull
I'm a dagger in your back
An extra turn on the rack
I'm the quivering of your heart
A stabbing pain, a sudden start
And it's so easy when you're evil
This is the life, you see
The Devil tips his hat to me
I do it all because I'm evil
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
And I do it all for free
Your tears are all the pay I'll ever need
It gets so lonely being evil
What I'd do to see a smile
Even for a little while
And no one loves you when you're evil
I'm lying though my teeth!
Your tears are all the company I need
He punched a large glowing crystal and the field around the island fell like shattered glass while he laughed manically.
"LOOK OUT BROTHER, THERE'S A SHIT STORM HEADING YOUR WAY!!!"
"Why do I feel a shit storm approaching?"
"I feel it too Symbol." We looked over to the floating island and saw the field shattering like glass. "You're going up there aren't you?"
"Yep." I remembered what was written on the letter I had gotten from Celestia. "But there's something we have to do first."
"What's that?"
"We need to get you a tux."
Next Chapter: Scary's Chapter and The Council Estimated time remaining: 2 Hours, 24 MinutesAuthor's Notes:
Just think of the voice in the song as forges voice from now on.
Why did I make this chapter you ask? Because I find it entertaining.
