[Short Story Inspiration]
I've always found this particular behavior to be kinda strange. The type of demeanor I'm talking about is, OC's manners and conduct. Like damn, how the hell do these people get this concept backwards? I know this sounds hard to understand, BUT UNDERSTAND!!! Let me give it to you straight.
Let's say there's an OC that has recently entered Equestria, (Everfree Forest route.) The moment he steps hoof on Ponyville, he will become the ultimate fucking saint of respect YO! This is the point where he'll reach the absolute pinnacle of kindness and etiquette. But man... I don't know why, but when he gets invited to an event that requires those traits, HE JUST FUCKING LOSES IT!!!
Dude, you're in a ball, where the hell did all of that politeness go!? I can't believe the moment these OC's need those manners the most, they completely throw them out the window! This kind of proves a theory I've been formulating...
OC's are emotionally allergic to rich ponies...
[Chapter 13: The Gala of all Time 1/2]
The season was spring in the city of Canterlot. In the castle, inside Celestia's room, her sister and her were trying out outfits in preparation for the Grand Galoping Gala. For the royal sisters, it seemed this was the only fun thing they will do in the day. They weren't taking the dress selection seriously. Celestia has so many outfits, she wants to make sure to wear them all at least once, just in case they can't save the world.
Celestia: What do you think of this one? Does it make me look refine?
Luna: As if you're not refined already...
Celestia: Don't say that! Just say if I'm pretty or not!
Luna: You do look like you're trying too hard.
Celestia: That's the point...
If Galaxy was going to make their lives miserable in the Gala, they might as well have a happy time as their silver lining. While trying out many more clothes, Luna brought up the subject about the guards. The guards around the castle came back, but they are acting strange. The attentive gleam in their eyes couldn't be seen anymore, instead it was replaced with a soulless expression that hints possession. It was obvious for the two sisters that Galaxy was preparing a role for the guards, he couldn't afford them to have free will at the moment.
Celestia: Galaxy finds it amusing to disrespect our guards by beating them brutally. I believe he's about to fabricate a "Victim Act" in the Gala, in order to act in self defense to show how strong he is.
Luna: What an utterly vulgar act. Apart from amusement, I can't find him gaining anything valuable out of this. Celestia, do you believe he will end the world prematurely.
Celestia: No, there's no way he'll reset the world without tying up the lose ends. He must kill Lapistoria for his final act, and marry Twilight to let the curtain fall. Only then will the play start anew.
Every day, Galaxy's motives are more easier to understand. And although they can't prevent the outcome, they could at least mitigate the damages. Celestia kept rummaging through the wardrobe, until her sister brought up a question.
Luna: Will Lapistoria be attending the Gala?
Celestia: Sadly no... She knows this is Galaxy's plan after all. If Galaxy is in full control during the night, she doesn't want to be in the middle of it.
Luna: Is she in her room?
Celestia: Yes, Spike is also with her. She's not going to exit the tower until the end of the Real Day.
Luna: So it's us against Galaxy Spiral... This won't end well...
Celestia: Agree, so how about for now, let us stay put until the inevitable happens...
[Start of the day 20th: 9 days remaining]
Night came faster than expected, and it wasn't because the Princess of the Moon was in a hurry, time literally went fast. Either Galaxy wants to get this over with, or he's eager to show off. Regardless, this wasn't going to change anything in the Gala, so the two sisters had nothing to fear yet. Princess Celestia did the usual thing she does at the Gala, which is to greet guests. Back in the day it was always a drag to do this, but the sight of familiar faces always made it bearable to the point of being enjoyable.
Right now, it is simply just a drag...
Celestia: (Ponyville mares and Canterlot rich snobs... I'm starting to see a pattern here.)
The princess was not wrong, but it wasn't anything to be concerned about. The Gala's attendance consist of ponies from those two Relevant Landmarks. None of the visitors seemed to have any sort of importance gleaming from them, so the two sisters quickly figure out that Galaxy is using them as white noise for the party.
Luna: *Sigh* If I could only relax with Lapistoria and Spike on the northern tower. That would make my night...
Celestia: Please Luna, don't let our guests know you're bored. If you want, after welcoming everypony you can go see Lapistoria and Spike. I'll make sure no pony knows you're missing.
Luna: Thank you sister, I don't know how I would fair in this situation without you...
Celestia: Likewise...
Appreciating each other's company, the princesses continue welcoming guests inside. As time went on, all the guards on sight seem to be gaining awareness, noted by Luna when her attention shifted towards them out of boredom. This was without a doubt Galaxy's Arrival Scenario. And by the looks of things, it seems he wants to arrive fashionably late.
Celestia: Hey... is that...?
Out of all the blank slates, one came out not being one. His presence was imposing, enough to make the line of guests make way for his gloriousness. Standing face to face with the princesses, Prince Blueblood made his appearance.
Blueblood: Oh my, if it isn't that time again. I could have sworn the last Gala was months ago. Oh how time flies! It's as if this event is begging for my attention!
Luna: And were here begging for it to-
Celestia: SSHHH!!! Welcome Prince Blueblood, glad you could come visit for this wonderful event. But we like to suggest that next time you don't skip the line. (That is if there is a "next time".)
Blueblood: Believe me, it wasn't my intention to skip the line. I was merely given early access to be upon your presence. I promise I did not ask them to step aside.
Celestia: I've already let it slide, so please, enjoy the festivities.
Blueblood: Thank you so much your highness, I'll enjoy this night like if it is the last one I'll ever have!
Celestia/Luna: (Did he had to say that...?)
It may not be autumn, but imminent death can be felt in the air. This Gala might end up on a bloody note, and yet, they'll let it happen regardless of the red flags.
Luna: Lapistoria can't help us with this, so it will be impossible to save him...
Celestia: At least he had an optimistic attitude, choosing to enjoy the moment to the fullest. Shall we continue greeting our guests.
Luna: Yes, and let us make it hasty. If they are all Galaxy Spiral's blank slates, then we can push manners and dignity aside.
And so with swift speed, Celestia and Luna went on greeting spree without inhibitions. It felt awkward having to greet them without any proper manner, but after a while, they got extremely used to it. It went so fast, that Galaxy still wasn't here even after they finished. Now all they have to do is wait for the guest of the hour.
Celestia: Prepare yourself, he's here...
Luna: Uh-huh...
No amount of mental fortitude could prepare them for what was coming. Galaxy was finally on sight, entering the castle hall with an outfit that make him look properly royal. It was blatantly clear Galaxy had the qualities of a ruler. As for Twilight and her friends, they also wore outstanding dresses, similar to the ones they had on their first Gala.
However those dresses fail to allure the attention of the princesses, as something else draw their sight. Six fillies around the same age as Lapistoria stood side by side each of Galaxy's girlfriends. There's no doubt about it, these fillies are the daughters of the Elements of Harmony. It was astonishing for the two sisters to see how fast they've grown, not to mention the uncanny resemblance their mothers and father. This night is going to be trickier than expected.
Once the whole family got close, they bow down to the princesses in an act of respect. All except Galaxy, as he remained firm in order to provoke something amongst the guards. And it worked, cause now Galaxy grabbed the agro of all guards.
Celestia: (Better de-escalate the situation.) Welcome Twilight, Galax-
Random Guard: BOW DOWN NOW!!!
Celestia: NO-NO! That won't be necessary! There isn't any need for formalities anyways.
Random Guard: But this stallion is being disrespectful your highness! We cannot premit such indecency!
Galaxy: And yet you refuse to follow her orders. Just let us be...
Random Guard: Oh yeah, think you can beat me in a fight!? Think you can take me!?
Galaxy: I did not said that.
Celestia/Luna: HE DID NOT SAID THAT!!!
Random Guard: UUUUAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!
Without any kind of reason what so ever, the idiot guard decided it was a good idea to fight God all of a sudden. Galaxy didn't show it, but he was excited to the extreme, he had soo many options at his disposal. Sadly, before he had a chance to kick some ass, one of his daughters beat him to the punch.
Hoshi: [Mini-Rasenshuriken]
Using this peculiar technique from Naruto, the alicorn filly shot it at the angry guard. He didn't saw it coming until it was to late, as it pierce though his chest and shredded his organs. The guard didn't suffer for long, as the Rasenshuriken explode, disintegrating his entire body and leaving a small crater behind.
Celestia/Luna: ...
Galaxy: ... (Damn... she stole my pray...)
Twilight: I'm sorry Princess Celestia! Please be lenient on my daughter. She tends to act a bit rashly at times.
Celestia: "R-Rashly?"
Hoshi: I deeply apologize Celestia-Sama, But that guard was going to hurt daddy "Desu"
Ringo: In all honesty, he was kinda asking for it "Desuka"
Celestia: ("Sama?" "Desu... KA!?") Twilight, can you and your friends go ahead for a moment. I needed to talk to Galaxy and your daughters.
Twilight: F-Fine? Whatever you say your Highness. But please don't punish them...
Celestia: I won't, as for all the guards present, you are all dismissed, enjoy the festivities.
The "Main 6" went on without any issue, but the guards were very skeptical of Galaxy and his daughters. Disobeying Celestia's orders, they remained in their posts to the disappointment of the Princess of the Sun.
Galaxy: Inept yet again! You know, if you all want do die so badly, then rush me down where I stand. That is... if you're scared?
Galaxy's provocations were the only thing these guards wanted to listen. Princess Celestia was now losing her patience, and so she used her magic to teleport everypony to a place devoid of adamant guards. That place being, the princess's own room.
Celestia: I need you to stop aggravating my guards. Aside from that, let us get straight to the point. What is this Gala all about?
Galaxy: Welp... you see... the Grand Galoping Gala doesn't mean anything in the long run. It's just a tradition all things considered.
Celestia: Can you clarify this "tradition" you speak of? Because although I do view the Gala as a tradition, I believe we are not in the same wavelength when it comes to that word.
Galaxy: How about my daughters introduce themselves?
Celestia: That won't be necessa-
Hoshi: It's a pleasure to meet you Celestia-Sama, Luna-Sama, my name is Hoshi "Desu"
Himawari: I'm Himawari "Masu"
Sora: Yo! I'm Sora "Dawa"
Ringo: Howdy, the name's Ringo "Desuka"
Hanabi: HI, HI, HI! Hanabi "Dayo"
Kagayaku: And to finish it with splendor, I'm Kagayaku "Desu~wa"
Celestia/Luna: ...
Yes, these girls are indeed water down versions of Twilight and her friends. The mere act of listening to their introductions put the princesses in a state of bafflement. The existence of these girls can only be described with an analogy of a kid drawing the main characters of MLP with lackluster crayons, with the "Desu-ing" also adding to the fact this kid also eats his crayons.
Luna wasn't having any of this, listening to them speak any further may drop her sanity to a point where "rock bottom" will lack any sort of bottom to speak of. And so with the greatest of condolences, Princess Luna let Celestia deal with the mess herself.
Luna: I wish you luck sister.
Celestia: Huh!? Wait! You can't-
Himawari: Can we join you "Masu"
Celestia: On second thought, you can go.
Luna: WHAT!?
The little alicorn fillies flock around Luna, begging her to allow their company. Now she's on a high risk predicament, because not only can she not stand them already, Luna wants to spend the night with Lapistoria and Spike. Having both groups met each other will definitely come with uncountable amounts of consequences.
Luna: Sorry, I have important matters to attend to. It is unrelated to the Gala, so it won't be any fun.
Ringo: Beg you pardon Luna-Sama, but I can't help to feel you're keeping a secret from us "Desuka"
Luna: W-What makes you assume that?
Ringo: I ain't assuming nothing "Desuka" Ever since we stepped hoof on the castle, I felt some darn mighty power on one of them towers "Desuka"
Sora: REALLY!? I thought I was the only one who felt that "Dawa"
Hoshi: Luna-Sama, are you going to where that power is located "Desu" To be more precise, the northern tower "Desu"
Going from annoying to invasive, the girls became convinced that something dangerous was living in the castle. They didn't even need Luna's feedback, it was an 100% fact due to what they're feeling. Immediately after confirming the location of the power, the six girls ran out of the room to pick a fight without context.
Luna: Halt! None of you are allowed to go to the tower! Are you listening to me!? STOP THIS INSTANT!!!
Things were now getting scary. Six girls who are potentially as unforgiving as Galaxy are on their way to kill Lapistoria. Princess Luna couldn't sit by, so she rush to the tower before the potential conflict affects the Gala.
This leaves Galaxy and Celestia all alone in her room. Quite the perfect time to talk unrestricted.
Galaxy/Celestia: Finally, they're gone...
Celestia: W-Wait, why are you relief?
Galaxy: Yeah... I guess it's about time I drop the act. You see, I don't like my daughters either... They're kinda a bunch of little bitches to be honest. The "Desu-ing" they do at the end of every sentence it's fucking CRINGE!!!
Celestia: But they have the same powers as you, and almost act like Twilight and her friends. Infact, they resemble you for the most part. Shouldn't you feel proud?
Galaxy: I'm only proud of the things that matter. Also, just to clarify, my daughters don't have all of my powers. I choose 6 random universes, and gave them the powers of one to each of them. You saw how Hoshi used a Rasenshuriken, she's only restricted to using powers from the Naruto Verse.
Celestia: Oh really? Then I guess Lapistoria is going to have an easier time than I thought.
Celestia's nonchalant behavior over his daughters attempt to kill Lapistoria got Galaxy slightly curious. If he could read her mind he would have already known the answer. But as of now, all he could do is ask...
Galaxy: And why is that?
Moving over to the six wannabe elements, they all stood firm at the base of the tower. Yep, something was wrong with this place, and they were gonna find out with some good old brute force. However, before they could raid the tower, the Princess of the Moon caught up to them, immediately trying to reason with the girls on why disturbing the filly in the tower was not a good thing to do.
Luna: LISTEN TO ME!!!
Hoshi: Uh-huh? "Desu"
Luna: Yes, you're right, there is somepony living in this tower. But just because it is somepony unknown to you, doesn't mean you have the right to kill her!
Ringo: Yep... "Desuka"
Luna: The one whose power you're sensing is of a filly. She's not a threat as you all might think. Infact, my sister and I were the ones who brought her in. Therefore, you must take my word that she is nopony to worry about.
Kagayaku: Right... "Desu~wa"
Luna: *Sigh* So... are we clea-
Hanabi: NUKE THE TOWER!!! "DAYO"
Sora: RIGHT ON IT!!! "DAWA"
Himawari: Yay! "Masu"
Luna: NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Rushing right at the tower with nopony to stop her, Sora summon a mechanical sword out of thin air. It was the original Replica Monado from Xenoblade Chronicles, bearing the Cyclone (轟) symbol on the circle in between the blade and the hilt. Sora crouch down, preparing herself to leap and blow this tower to oblivion. She could hardly contain the excitement of murdering somepony.
Sora: GO TO HELL!!! "DAWA" [MONADO 轟]
Inside the tower, a bit before the shenanigans that is about to transpire, Spike and Lapistoria were wondering how the Gala was going without them. Celestia and Luna must be having some struggles with Galaxy, and although they are, the dragon and pegasus don't want to make matters any worst by showing themselves to the party. Instead, the two talk to each other while waiting for the Real Day to end.
Spike: GGGAAAAHH!!! This night is soo long! Has time slowed down? How ironic considering the day came and went like the wind.
Lapistoria: Guess so, seems it's going to be difficult to stay awake till midnight.
Spike: Yeah but do we really have to stay awake? There's nothing for us to do if we aren't attending the Grand Galoping Gala. Say, are you afraid Galaxy may come here and kill you on your sleep?
Lapistoria: ...
Spike: Oh... Then I guess staying awake isn't going to hurt anypony. But can we at least do something fun for the time being. Time may be going slowly, but it goes even slower when you're bored.
Lapistoria !!!
While trying to figure out the best way to spend their time, Lapistoria suddenly pause for a moment. The look she had on her face got Spike concerned as well, just what kind of "thing" got her tensed up at the moment? wasting no more time, Lapistoria went to the door, opening it with a bit of hesitation.
Lapistoria: Spike, this might sound crazy, but I need you to take a peek outside.
Spike: What? Why? What's wrong?
Lapistoria: I don't know...? It's as if there's six weaker versions of Dark Matter standing at the bottom of the tower. I want you to go out there cause I know they won't be able to see you.
Spike: Wait, six Galaxies...? Oh no...!
Running out of the room, the little dragon took a look down from the outer staircase. On the bottom he saw six alicorn fillies who bare close resemblance to the Element Bearers. Spike already knew who they were, but he was surprised at how fast they've grown already. And with immense desperation, he told Lapistoria who were standing at their front door.
Spike: I knew it! IT'S GALAXY'S DAUGHTERS!!!
Lapistoria: Dark Matter's daughters!? Weren't they born like two days ago.
Spike: Probably a lot of Normal Years have gone by during those two Real Days. I guess it makes sense to have your daughters grow up quickly before the world comes to an end.
Lapistoria: What are they doing down there?
Spike: Don't know? Seems like they're just standing there. Kinda scary to be honest...
At this point the motive of the Gala was clear in the mind of Lapistoria. She thinks Galaxy must be using his daughters to mess with her so that he can enjoy the festivities. Essentially, is as if one has a plate of food, and you pass the nasty stuff like broccoli and beans to somepony else. A bit offensive, but it makes sense considering how he views her.
Lapistoria: Now that I think about it, I think I might be able to beat them up! They feel a bit... "restricted" if you know what I mean.
Spike: Wait! Princess Luna is here and...! Oh, she's taking to them...! yep... uh-huh... Hey, she's actually convincing- *GASP* AAAH!!! LAPIS!!!
Without wasting time, Lapistoria ran up to Spike and covered him with her aura. Afterwards a huge surge of Ether came rushing from below, completely decimating the northern tower. It was a massive explosion, the debris was blasted to the horizon, and it left a crater where the tower once stood.
Down at the bottom, the six maniacal filies were laughing at the gigantic explosion Sora cause. Princess Luna couldn't even let a word out, as she sees how the newest issues they have to face rejoiced at their attack.
Hanabi: THAT WAS AWESOME!!! "DAYO"
Himawari: *Sigh* I wish I could have gotten a chance to maul her apart "Masu"
Ringo: Hey, don't fret about it "Desuka" you might get your chance at the next villain that comes our way "Desuka"
Luna: (Celestia... what are we suppose to do... This might be the end... Lapistoria, Spike...)
Sora was the only one who couldn't stop laughing. She was on the ground, kicking frantically as she hold her stomach. This must be what child ecstasy feels like.
Sora: AAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!! I'VE NEVER HAD A DAY LIKE THIS!!! "DAWA" I'M SOO HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!! "DAWA"
Lapistoria: Well I'm not, let's fix that!
Sora: Huh- URGH!!!
From the rubble, the pegasus filly came out to then hold Sora by the neck. Lapistoria used her psychic powers to have an easier time choking her. As the other girls emotions took a sudden one-eighty, Princess Luna could not be more relief at seeing the filly and dragon safe. She ran up to them and gave them a hug, which was such a random act in the eyes of the young alicorns, who could not believe what was happening.
Luna: Lapistoria... Spike... Thank goodness you're alright. I thought hope had vanish for a moment.
Lapistoria: Sorry Princess Luna, I probably should have attended the Gala to have this end faster. So is this Rainbow Dash wannabe Dark Matter's daughter?
Sora: H-... elp... "da...wa" grh!
Hoshi: Hold on Sora, we'll save you! "Desu"
Spike: What's wrong with her? Can't she free herself? I cannot imagine you doing this so easily with Galaxy. Also, what does "Desu" means?
Luna: It's a dialect thing, don't pay it any mind.
Lapistoria let Sora go so that she could reunite with her sisters, running off like if she poke something she shouldn't have messed with. Once they were all together, Princess Luna let go of Lapistoria to then stand behind her with Spike. She knows fully well how dangerous things are going to get from here.
Hoshi: Hey! do you know who you're mess-
Lapistoria: YES! SHUT UP!!!
Hoshi/Sora/Hanabi: !!!
Kagayaku/Ringo/Himawari: !!!
Lapistoria: If the six of you are indeed the daughters of that poor excuse of a "Hero", Then by all means, face me...
"Cause you're about to find out first hoof why he calls me a villain"
