Sleep had come quickly to the small group of individuals and the Twilight Princess as they lay silently in their tent. Baron had been sitting quietly next to the bonfire, keeping watch so that his friends could get some well deserved rest from their travels. The night began to drag by slowly for the minotaur as he continued looking into the fire, not realizing that the white noise of the rainfall, along with the inviting warmth of the fire was slowly lulling him to sleep.

It took nearly three hours after the others had gone to bed before the minotaur hung his head as sleep took his tired and battle worn body. The rain continued its small torrent from above, wind blowing softly from the ocean nearby as the scent of the salty water carried over the lands that it battered against.

However, there was something else that was silently lurking in the shadows outside of the small fairing of trees that was blocking the rainfall. Something, or rather, someone, was out in the rain, looking into the camp from a distance as it stood downwind, making sure to keep its scent far from the nose of the minotaur and those it was protecting.

It waited, silently watching as the minotaur’s head bobbed a few times before finally resting its chin almost onto its chest. It gave a sinister smile as it slowly crept toward the camp, making sure to keep its paws from stepping onto any twigs or rocks that may alert the camp to its presence.

After nearly ten minutes of slowly creeping along the ground on all fours, it had made it to just a couple of yards behind the large minotaur, slowly raising to its hind legs and pulling out a large dagger from the sheath at its side.

The fire pit continued to burn brightly as the logs being held within its crimson glow suddenly broke into separate pieces with a loud snap, bringing the minotaur to its senses as it gave a yawn. He pulled up a hand to his face as he quickly rubbed his eyes before pulling his hand away. He moved slightly to the left of his sitting position, as he sat down onto the ground in front of his seat, resting his back against it and giving a long stretch, popping several bones before giving a soft snort of satisfaction.

"Mmmmm, been a long time since ah caught some Z's." Baron stated softly as he raised a hand to scratch his chin. Swiveling his ears about to listen for any noises that he may have missed from his cat nap.

Once Baron had moved to his current spot, the light of the fire was now bathing the being that had been creeping into the camp, with its soft glow. The being was frozen in time with its paw held high above its head, a dagger held within as it was ready to plunge downward into the back of its unsuspecting victim. However, there was still one little problem.

Mona stirred from her slumber to the snap of the fire outside. Over the years that she had been in this world, she had become accustomed to being a very light sleeper, as it had saved her life on countless occasions. She slowly pulled the sleeping bag from her, giving a slight yawn as she slowly rose from her makeshift bed.

She gave a slight grumble as she stood up and placed her hand onto the flap of the tent, slowly pulling it back as she yawned once. She paused, mid-yawn, her eyes going wide as she saw the now visible being, illuminated by the campfire as it was about to plunge its dagger into the back of Baron. She quickly pulled up her right hand as the bracelets began to illuminate brightly, shouting one word.

"FREEZE!"

A bolt of cold air blasted forward across the ground, shards of ice bolting upwards into the air from the ground below before finally reaching the target, encasing him in a block of ice, instantly killing him. The shout from Mona quickly causing Baron to bolt upright, pulling out a large war hammer and looking to the area that was just behind him to see a now very frozen and dead werewolf in some black, form fitting clothing. The only visible parts of his body being his head, arms and legs below the knee. A red sash wrapped around his waist holding a scabbard and empty sheath that the dagger was once housed in.

"What was that noise?!" Mitchell yelled as he bolted past Mona through the door of the tent, the small griffon Charlotte was hot on his heels, brandishing her small sword while balancing on her back legs. Her one good wing flared outwards as she looked around.

The three camp members paused once they saw the frozen werewolf encased in ice, giving a shocked expression before Mitchell finally came back to reality.

"Baron! Mona! Are you two alright?! Who did this?" He shouted as he continued searching the darkness for any more hints of other beings that may be lurking about.

"I'm fine, thanks to Mona. If it wasn't for her, I'd probably be dead right about now." Baron stated as he pulled his battle hammer upwards, slamming it down onto the frozen werewolf and shattering it into a million pieces. He gave a satisfied snort as he watched the head, still encased in ice, roll out and into the darkness away from the camp.

Mitchell turned back to Mona as he sheathed his sword. "Didn't know you could use magic love. A bit of a surprise really considering most of the humans ah've met can't use it." He smirked as he came over to the young woman who still had a look of horror plastered across her face. Mitchell waved his hand in front of her, snapping her back to reality.

"Oh God.............." She trailed off as something clicked inside of her. "What........... what's happened to me?!" She stated in complete shock as she looked at her hands and the bracelets which slowly began to pulsate in illumination. She reached down slowly, fiddling with the bracelets for a moment before attempting to remove one of them. Without warning, a bolt of lightning shot straight through her from the bracelets causing her to scream out in pain and fall to the ground.

Mitchell and the others took a step back in surprise upon seeing the lightning, but quickly came to her side only to be pushed away.

"Leave me........ NOW!" She shouted as she pulled her hands up to her head and pulled at her hair, seemingly fighting an unknown force.

"And why would you want them to leave?" Came a more sinister voice from Mona as she began to rise to her feet. "Aren't they just more beings to sacrifice for our plans?" She giggled slightly before her face contorted in pain. "NO! They are......... my.......... friends!" She continued to pull at her hair as she fell to her knees.

"What's going on?! Why are you acting this way Mona?!" Mitchell spoke up but was quickly pulled backwards by Baron.

"She's got some come sort of cursed item on her Mitch, seems teh be possessed by an entity of some sort, and a powerful one at that." Baron stated quietly as he continue watching her movements.

After a minute of thrashing about, Mona calmed, breathing hard as she looked to the trio with fearful eyes. "What's going on? How did I do that?" She spoke in confusion.

Mitchell stepped forward as he kneeled down and placed his hands onto her cheeks, gently bringing her face to look at his as he spoke.

"Mona.......... Mona look at me." He stated a little forceful causing her to give a little more hint of fear. "I don't know what’s happening to you, I don't know if I can help, but if you can keep........... whatever that was, under control. Then I will do my best to help you." He stated with a passion in his voice that Baron nor Charlotte had heard before.

At that moment, Mona began to sob. It was quiet at first, but raised in volume as she was pulled into a loving embrace by Mitchell. Charlotte quietly replaced her sword into its sheath and walked up next to them, Mitchell giving her a nod as she motioned toward the tent. The human male slowly picked up the crying woman and packed her into the tent, setting her shivering body down before trying to pull away, only to be held tighter by her. He gave a soft sigh as he sat down, laying down quietly onto the open sleeping bag. Charlotte giving the two an off look as she went to her father’s sleeping bag and curled up.

"Ya don't plan on latchin onteh me the whole night do ya love?" Mitchell chuckled softly before coming to a stop as Mona raised her watering eyes to look into his. This being the first time she had actually gotten to look into them. They were so kind, so gentle and loving. She gave a slight whimper as he gave a sigh before wrapping his arm around her and pulling the sleeping bag onto the both of them, resting his chin onto her head as he spoke.

"Get some sleep love. I'll be right here if you need me." He sighed softly feeling her shake a little, after a short time it came to a stop as sleep had finally found the young woman. He glanced over to his sleeping bag to see his daughter giving him a disgruntled look before rolling her eyes and turning over.

"This gon'be a long night." He sighed as he closed his eyes, letting sleep take ahold of him.

Baron, however, was swiveling his ears to and fro, listening to the sounds of the rainfall as it swept about the land around their encampment. If there was one thing he knew, it was that werewolves may roam in packs. Especially if they were bandits like the one that had just been killed near him. With newfound adrenaline, and a small pot of coffee being heated next to him on the side of the fire. He would make it through the night, on edge and waiting for the sun to rise only a few hours from now.

“WAKE UP!” Shouted Celestia as she jumped up and down next to her bed in which a dark Alicorn was now screaming in.

“AAAAAAAAAH! JESUS! WHAT THE HELL?!” He shouted to her as he bolted upright in bed, his mane and tail erupting into a bright yellow from being scared almost to death.

Celestia stood there, visibly shaking in anticipation as she beamed to her soon to be husband. After a few seconds, to let Midnight’s adrenaline settle down, she began.

“Night, I have a very big surprise for you.” She hummed happily as she nosed him gently to try and persuade him from the bed.

“Ugh! Tia, is so early.” He groaned as he laid back down in bed and pulled the covers overtop of himself. “Can’t I have like, five more hours of sleep?”

Celestia gave a cocked brow to the sleeping mass in her bed before giving a slight grin as her horn lit up, opening the door to her room. “I believe you will like this little surprise.” She giggled as several pairs of footsteps were heard coming into the room.

Midnight gave an annoyed sigh as he turned over in bed and peeked his eyes out from underneath the cover to see who the Sun Goddess had just let into the room. He gasp a sharp gasp as he saw the few beings that he never thought he would.

“M-mom?! Dad?!” He spoke out in a shuddering breath as he bolted across the room and pulled them into a hug, crying loudly into them as he continued to hold them.

After several minutes of this, he managed to separate from them and pull back before noticing three other individuals standing next to the door.

“No....... way..........” He spoke as he noticed Celestia’s and Luna’s parents along with Bob next to the door of the room, slowly making his way over to them and giving them a loving hug each. Bob just giving a chuckle as he playfully shoved the dark Alicorn.

“I figured that I could bend the rules slightly, just this once.” He smiled. “It’s just for the day, so don’t get your hopes up. My children will be returning with me to Asgard once the day has come to a close.”

“I don’t know what to say, or how to thank you for this opportunity my friend. But I would be willing to do just about anything for you for having done this for me and Tia.” Midnight smiled as he wiped away a few tears from his face.

“Well, there is one thing you could do for me.” He stated with a soft laugh.

“Name it!” Midnight laughed back feeling himself no longer on the verge of being sleepy.

“Well, Garret has been more than a pain as of late in heaven. He has been constantly challenging other Gods to fight with him so that he may test his skills. I remember you stating that once everything had been taken care of as for visitations into the afterlife. You would challenge him, God to God.”

Midnight looked to Bob in shock for a moment as he shook his head giving a sigh. “Bob, you know that I don’t want that kind of power, nor do I want to use it just to fight with.”

“I understand that much, of course. But what would you say if you could have that power for just that fight. Then return back to your normal, mortal self?” He asked giving a pleading expression. Midnight looking to the others as they gave a smirk each. Blazing Dusk, Celestia’s father, giving a chuckled and determined smirk.

“I think you could take him. I’ve fought him and come close to beating him.” Dusk chuckled. “Got my flank handed to me on more than one occasion though.”

“I guess if it’s a request from the almighty one, I don’t have much of a choice.” He groaned, rolling his eyes. “It’s the least I could do for you having brought my, and Tia’s folks back to the living for a short time.”

“Wonderful!” Came a voice from the doorway as Garret stepped into the room. “I’ll see you on the battlefield in Asgard in exactly two weeks, and you had better show. Or I might just have to drag your father into the ring in your place.” He chuckled but stopped as a glowing wing was at his throat and Midnight at his side.

“You’ll have your fight, but if you EVER threaten my family again. The next thing you’ll see is your head rolling across the floor.” He snarled slightly as Garret gave a slight gulp.

“Alright you two, no fighting today.” Bob stated as he clapped his hands, pulling the two away from one another through the air. “Save that for later. Right now, we have a wedding to start!”

A short time later and with some slight difficulty, the wedding was now ready to begin as many ponies, among other various creatures and species, began to file into the throne room.

The entire room had been decorated in the fashion to resemble each of the four brides. White and gold to signify Celestia, white and purple to signify Rarity, orange and red to signify Applejack, and of course a light lavender purple with a slight pinkish-red to signify Twilight.

Many pews had been filed into the throne room, filling it to the brim on both sides as many ponies filled them to the brim. Several other species of guests were sitting among the few that they had come to befriend over time, all awaiting the pivotal moment for the music to begin to start the wedding.

In the front of the pews, lining the start of the staircase to the thrones at the top, were several mares that were dressed in lovely gowns. All of which who were starting to tear up at the thought of this day having finally come to fruition.

Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy, all dressed in the same bridesmaid gowns that they had used during Cadence’s and Shining Armor’s wedding, as well as a large draconequus that was dressed in a very nice suede flannel tux that fit his form perfectly. To his side stood Samantha, her belly bulging quite a bit from carrying her and Discord’s child. But still fitting into a lovely bridesmaid gown as well.

Higher up on the steps stood five beings. To one side stood Celestia and Luna’s parents, while to the other side stood Midnight’s parents. In the middle stood a third humanoid type being, only known as Bob to the rest of the guests within the castle. He, being dressed in a white robe with a gold tassel that flowed down his chest onto either side of his neck. In his hands was a little black book. The book that was his word and his alone, that would help to guide the newlyweds into a future together.

After a short time however, the crowd of guests came to a silence as music began to play over several loudspeakers around the room. In the corner of the room on a small platform stood Vinyl Scratch and a young earth pony named Octavia that was holding a cello to her side. Behind Octavia stood several other ponies, all of which held an instrument of some sort that would soon be put to good use as they listened to the wedding march playing over the speakers.

As the music had begun to play, Midnight appeared at the altar from beside Discord, standing there proudly in an elegant and precariously made white tux that clashed with his black fur wonderfully.

All attention was drawn to the doors of the throne room as they slowly opened. Several small fillies trotting down the aisle and spreading little rose petals as they went. Next came a little Alicorn colt, Starlight, as the ring bearer who was levitating a small pillow that held several rings on it, along with a ring held within a necklace. Laying around them were two crowns. One larger than the other as it sit perfectly around it and the rings.

As the foals trotted down the aisle, the first bride-to-be stepped into the room. Rarity, who was on the verge of crying, slowly made her way down the aisle. She was in a gem laced wedding dress that she had painstakingly made over a period of several months. It was an elegant white and laced with many blue sapphires that would match her cutie mark perfectly. She strode proudly down the path, beaming brightly as she went.

Twilight stepped into the room just as Rarity was halfway down the path, and started making her way down the aisle. Her dress was hoofed down to her from her mother who had worn it for her own wedding to Twilight's father. Although it had needed some minor alterations around the flank area due to her smaller stature in that specific area, it fit Twilight better than one would expect. Once Rarity had made it to the front of the aisle, she stepped to the side opposite of Midnight just as Applejack stepped into the room.

Applejack had pulled out a surprise that no one had known about, even her brother and sister. Granny Smith had told her about her wedding dress that she had passed down to her daughter, Applejack's mother, that she had also worn on her wedding day, much like Twilight's mother had hers. Applejack agreed without hesitation to wear the dress, even though it was out of style and extremely old fashioned. She felt great pride in being able to wear something that her mother had once worn for her wedding as well. The dress was a light yellow that was a contrast to her mother’s coat of orange, just like hers. Her mane however threw it off slightly as her mother’s mane was a dark brown, but she carried her father’s mane color, which of course was the brilliant blonde that she currently bore that matched the dress perfectly, blending into it and making it look as if it was actually part of her.

Once Twilight and AJ had made it to the front, Celestia stepped into the room in a beautiful flowing gown that seemed to be a part of her rather than a piece of cloth.

The white Alicorn made her way down the aisle as tears began to stream down her face. The day had finally arrived for her to finally become a bride. Eons had passed her by before this moment had come to reality but it was now finally upon her.

The wedding march music came to a halt as Midnight and his brides stepped to in front of the almighty one. He opened the book for a moment before closing it and smiling.

“Seeing as I already know the words, I think it would be best to avoid reading straight from the book.” He smiled, causing the room to give a soft chuckle.

After finishing with the vows, and all that were present saying their ‘I do’, they began to don their jewelry to fully establish that they were now married. Rarity and Twilight wore a diamond ring around the base of their horns. Applejack wearing a ring on a necklace that was placed around her neck. Then came Celestia with a lovely blue diamond ring placed onto the middle of her horn.

Midnight was the last to don his rings as they were placed at the base middle and tip of his horn. The same rings as from before when their first wedding had been interrupted. As the five, now married, ponies turned around. Celestia and Midnight’s horn lit up as their regalia came into view on their being, replacing their former clothing.

“Well then. I guess it’s time to finish up.” Midnight stated with a nervous swallow as the small group slowly climbed the stairs to the thrones sitting at the top.

Midnight taking his seat in the largest of the thrones while Celestia and Luna sat to the others to his side. Another three sitting to Midnight’s other side in which his other three brides took a seat.

As soon as they settled into their seats, the crowd erupted in shouts as “Hail to the King and Queens.” were bellowed out amongst the stomping of hooves on the floor.

Celestia and the other brides smiled widely as they all tossed their bouquets to the crowd below. Many of the mares at the bottom all rushing to grab onto them. Samantha taking a quick flight into the air and grabbing one and slowly floating back down into Discords arms. He setting her down as she smiled to him. However, everything paused as Discord took to a knee and pulled out a box, opening it to reveal a ring.

Everyone went silent for a moment as the draconequus spoke up.

“I know this has been long over do Samantha, but.............. would you make me the happiest being in the universe and become my bride?” He stated softly seeing her eyes go wide for a moment. She smiled widely, opening her mouth to give an answer when.

*Splash*

A small puddle suddenly appeared below her on the floor.

“Uh oh.........” Stated Starlight as he covered his face with the small pillow, peeking over the top of it toward the wet floor before everyone.
