Prince of Equestria
Chapter 38: A New Beginning
Written by UltraGod13 and UndeadZed
Canterlot 4:30 PM
So many creatures and people arrived at the party. Mario The Sonic Plush, Twilight Sparkle, Spike the Dragon, Blackbiter Flynn, and the fashion designer Rarity were the first arrivals. Then, Discord and Fluttershy came. Afterwards, Kit and Eliza came followed by Darkling, his wife Kelly, and Draci. Applejack came with the entire apple family consisting of Big Mac, Granny Smith and Apple Bloom. Pinkie Pie brought her boyfriend Cheese Sandwich and her sister Maud Pie. Anti-Mario and Rainbow Dash came, as well as Sunset Shimmer. Shenlong came with Amy Kinyu and Knux. Sgt Sekiro and Jehrai came along with the entire Avali army. Princess Kina, the Princess of Avalon decided to come but her father and mother couldn't make it since they are too busy with leading their kingdom. Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo came too.
Trixie, Mario's cousin, came with Thorax and the good Changelings. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna came. Princess Cadance and Shining Armor came with their kids- which are Flurry Heart & Skyla. Even Lord Zarkiar and his army came, much to the shock of everyone there.
Magellan, who is the Prince's grandfather, showed up. Lara, who is the Prince's mother, and her boyfriend George showed up as well.
Many other ordinary Equestrians came from all over, random half pony half humans.
Mrs. Cake dropped by with the twins and Derpy Hooves showed up with her kid Dinky.
Many of them are talking to each other, grabbing their food from the Buffett and having a good time.
DJ Pon 3 is seen turning up the volume so everyone can hear the music.
"This party is so AMAZING!" yelled out Pinkie
"Agreed, Pinkie." said MTSP
Princess Celestia, along with Princess Luna and Cadance, walk up to Mario and Twilight.
"Congratulations, you two. We are very proud of how far you both have come.", said Celestia,
"Thank you.", said Twilight
"Yeah, thanks your highness.", said MTSP
DJPon3 turns down the music a little.
Celestia spreads out her wings and wraps them around MTSP. She walks Mario up to a stage.
Twilight and Rarity goes right beside Mario on the stage.
Suddenly, a cape magically appears on Mario as well to go with his crown.
Princess Luna yells something out to everyone.
"Freeze!", yelled Luna, in her Canterlot screaming voice, "Everyone listen to Princess Celestia!"
Everyone gasps.
"He's getting coronated right?", asked Pinkie
"We gather today in celebration for a momentous occasion. This celebration isn't just commentating our victory against King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis. It's the beginning of a new chapter as well.
One of my other students, Mario The Sonic Plush, had shown great progress all throughout his life. From the time he had lived on the planet Earth, and then back here, in this country of Equestria. Like Twilight Sparkle, he had done so many extraordinary things. He had grown up so much, not just in his powers or character but achievements as well. He kept training and learning new magic along the way. I watched him grow all these years, just as I did for Twilight. He has proved to us that he is ready to be crowned as Equestria's Prince.", said Celestia, "Mares and Gentlecolts. I am proud to present to you- PRINCE MARIO THE SONIC PLUSH!"
Everyone claps.
Celestia hands Mario a crown.
Celestia uses her horn to levitate the crown and put it on Mario.
He looks at it in astonishment.
"Woah..my very own crown.", said MTSP, "Who would have thought."
"Is there anything you would like to say to everyone here?", asked Celestia,
"Oh yes. Um. Where do I start? Wow. If one had asked me years ago that I am actually from this foreign planet populated by magical pony things, that I was born in the country of Equestria and that I am actually a destined Prince from this foreign land, I would have called you crazy. However, this is no dream, no hallucination or anything. This is reality. I am proud to have lived the rest of my life here and I will forever reside here.
I had been sent here for a reason. I was destined to be here, Anti-Mario or not. I was sent here by Princess Celestia to not only form new relationships but also to learn and grow new skills along the way. These new skills include courage, bravery and as much cliche as it is, Friendship.
I am not just the Prince of Equestria, but I am also the Prince of Peace and Harmony, while Twilight here is the Princess of Friendship. So fellow citizens. Do me a favor and accept me as your prince!", yelled out MTSP
Everyone keeps clapping. He keeps glowing in the yellow light.
The Prince walks down off the stage, with Twilight and Rarity right behind him.
DJPon3 cranks up the music again and this time plays a song from Green Day called "Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
Many of the partygoers dance to it.
Lara walks right over to Mario and Anti-Mario, with George right behind her.
"I am so proud of both my boys!" Lara hugs both of them, "Mario, you have come so far. You have grown up so much. Anti-Mario, I am proud of you too for changing your ways.",
"Thank you.", said Mario, "But I could not have been on this path also without you, Mom."
She lets go of her two remaining sons.
Anti-Mario looks at his mom, Lara, and apologizes.
"Mom. I am sorry for all the horrible things I have done. Everything I did. I should have become good much sooner then I did. I felt too far gone years ago no thanks to Chrysalis but then a certain rainbow haired girl saw the good in me and opened up my heart.", said Anti-Mario, "I am still very ashamed. Why are you even happy about me? You should be disappointed!"
Lara smiles.
"Anti-Mario! Don't think negatively about yourself. I forgive you. The circumstances you were brought in were terrible. Nobody deserves to be taken from great parents like that and kidnapped to do things against their will.", she said
Anti-Mario sheds tears and hugs Lara
Suddenly, Sunset walks over to the two. She looks at Lara, the woman who had borne and conceived Anti-Mario during his birthly process.
"Lara. May I speak with Anti-Mario? I want to apologize to him.", asked Sunset
"Sure, go ahead.", said Lara
Anti-Mario stops hugging his mom as soon as he sees Sunset Shimmer.
The woman who was responsible for his creation in the first place, as a result of her combining the DNA of Mario with Changeling DNA.
Anti-Mario scratches his gray spiky hedgehog hair and is confused. He scowls in anger.
"Sunset Shimmer. My dear creator. What are you doing here?", asked Anti-Mario, "Are you going to turn into a she-demon and destroy this party just so I can join you? Or what?!"
Anti-Mario said this all out of anger and resentment at her for being forced to be brought up in "evil" even though that was Queen Chrysalis's doing.
"Anti-Mario. I really apologize for everything I had caused. I was a young and silly teenager at the time. I was still a student of Princess Celestia back then but I also doubled as a scientist. I did not know that Queen Chrysalis was evil when I used half of her DNA for you until it was too late.
The truth is that I never created you for evil. I created you to be a hero like your brother, but act as the opposite to him, in morals and values. I had no part in your life after you were born. I am very sorry for what you had gone through.", said Sunset, "I have changed. I am on the good side now and that will never change."
Anti-Mario is shocked. Then, he lets out his emotions.
"Sunset. I-I don't know what to say.", said Anti-Mario
Anti-Mario pats Sunset on the shoulder. He lets out his happy tears and smiles.
"Come on, Anti-Mario! Let's break the dance floor!" yelled out Rainbow
Rainbow drags Anti-Mario to the dance floor.
Suddenly, the music changes to "On the Floor" by Jennifer Lopez.
Anti-Mario and Rainbow both start dancing.
They are both joined by other couples like Mario x Twilight x Rarity, Eliza x Kit, Pinkie x Cheese Sandwich, Fluttershy x Discord, Darkling x Kelly, and Shenlong x Amy Kinyu. Even Lara had joined them, along with George.
Spike then walks around, getting some fruit punch to drink when he walks right by Sweetie Belle.
She is looking pretty in her Gala dress. She is wearing a blue flower crown, a gem on her chest, and a lighter blue skirt draped around her back
"H-hi." said Spike, shyly, while blushing
Sweetie also blushes at the young dragon.
"Come on. Let's cut a rug!" said Sweetie Belle
Spike gets some fruit punch and gulps it up.
Then, he sweats nervously.
Sweetie takes him to the floor, where they both join some of the other couples.
Spike and Sweetie Belle start dancing.
"Wow. She is so pretty. I like hanging out and dancing with her. Maybe with my luck, she'll be my girlfriend." thought Spike
The night approaches and everyone is still partying it out. They party out before it approaches 9 PM.

Few days later after the party
October 20, 2020
At a local park in Ponyville
Mario and Anti-Mario sit down somewhere and talk. It's just the two of them hanging out as brothers as Twilight stayed back home.
There is one question plaguing the Prince's mind.
Prince Mario scratches his chin.
"Hm. So. Anti-Mario. I have been wondering about this for quite some time now but-" said MTSP, as he is about to ask a question
"But what? What is it, Mario? Ask away!" said Anti-Mario
"I remember when we defeated you, or rather, technically, Lord Zarkiar. We had sent you farther into outer space. Your Zarkiar suit clearly vanished, along with you. We all saw that. How did you survive that crash and how were you able to get back here afterwards?" asked Mario
"Good question. However, it is a long story. Please, bear with me.", he said
"You see, there was a peaceful race called the Umbrans who somehow rescued me when I was about to crash on the moon and die thanks to being defeated as Lord Zarkiar. They teleported me back to their home planet, Umbra. Thanks to their efforts, I was able to be nursed back to full health, and they built a ship just so I could leave to go home." he finished.
(A flashback of this story occurs. An Umbran notices someone about to crash on the moon.)
?: We should help him out.
(They teleport Anti-Mario/Lord Zarkiar to their ship with their strange and awesome Umbran powers.)
?: Don't worry, strange one. We will take you to our homeworld, where you can recover from your injuries.
(Anti-Mario/Lord Zarkiar is confused but he does appreciate the help as the Umbran ship returns back to the homeplanet.)
(For a few days, he resided in the Ahn Kar General Infirmary where he was being tended to by female nurses.)
Anti-Mario: So uh, who are you guys? How did you find me?
?: Oh, well, it was by some chance that we found you before you were about to perish on the moon. We all belong to Umbra, as Umbrans. If we didn't come to your aid, you would have died.
Anti-Mario: Wow. I don't think Equestria or Earth knows of your existence yet.
?: Perhaps you should tell them about us. We can be very kind people. We hope to see you in a better shape, soon. Rest, now.
Anti-Mario: Alright.
(And after a few days, the Umbran nurses had restored him to good health and he was able to go about his separate ways on a ship they had built for him while he was resting.)
Anti-Mario: Bye, everyone! I thank you all for helping me!
(They all wave at him in appreciation as his ship takes off back to Equestria).
"And so, that's how it happened." Anti-Mario explained. Mario has a surprised look on his face. "Umbrans? They seem friendly enough to help strangers in need."
"Yup." Anti-Mario replied. "Not all alien races out there are plain evil."
Kit manages to chime in. "Hey you two, what are you guys talking about?"
"Oh. We are talking about how I managed to survive my defeat and I bet the reason how will shock you, Kit."
"Oh really? I love good surprises."
(Anti-Mario explains his story to Kit the same way he explained it to Mario. Kit's eyes are wide open.)
"Wow. A new race out there? Cool. It explains alot."
"Yup," Anti-Mario responded with a smirk.
"Well, now that I think about it, no, I didn't choose to become Zarkiar willingly. Infact, I was possessed due to a virus he put inside of myself." Anti-Mario said.
Both Mario and Kit are shocked. "Wait. What? That's crazy!" Mario shouted.
"Yeah. Woah." Kit said.
"Yeah, that's the truth. The real reason I became Zarkiar was because of that virus."
"So, a virus that turns people into Zarkiar, huh? I am wondering if he wanted to turn me into Zarkiar aswell." Kit wonders.
"Uh-huh."
Suddenly, a ship flies above them. All of the three stare at it as it hovers down and lands right next to them. It's none other than Umbrans.
"Huh?" Both Mario and Kit let out.
"Woah. You guys are back here?" Anti-Mario asked.
"Yes. Hello." An Umbran who stepped out of the ship replied.
"So what brings you here then?" Anti-Mario asks.
"We brought you a friend."
"A friend?" he asks confused.
"Hi." The young Umbran says, smiling and waving.
"Uh, hi. Hey, what's your name?" Anti-Mario asks.
"My name is Zeke. It is a pleasure to meet you."
"OK. Pleasure meeting you too."
Mario and Kit shake their heads in disbelief. "What is this?" Kit says.
"I think they're a bit too friendly." Mario says, chuckling.
"OK guys, I have a new friend now. His name is Zeke. Just say hi to him." Anti-Mario says to Mario and Kit.
"Hello, Zeke." Both Mario and Kit wave to him.
"Hello! I didn't catch your names, heh."
"Well," Kit responds, "it's Kit. Kit….nevermind."
"What's wrong?" Mario asks Kit.
"I…almost blurred out my last name, but I just got reminded of how dark and crappy my past was. I couldn't believe out of 8 billion people in the world, no, universe, those idiots were the ones who adopted me. I could have gone to a much more loving and caring family, but fate decided something else for me. The only real parents I've ever had died a long time ago, and it is a shame I couldn't get to spend much time with them. I was merely only a baby back then, still in diapers. Do you know what that feels like? Growing up without the people you love and care about, just to be abused by subhuman freaks? I had a rough and terrible time at my school. I constantly failed my grades, and eventually, had enough one day and dropped out. Everyone made my existence out to be worthless. I was seen as a freak to the entire population. It only made me angrier. So much angrier."
"Huh. Is that so, Kit? Well. I also had a not-so-great upbringing myself. Did you know that my father, Tony, was an abusive piece of crap who beat me for just the littlest things? It's not like my entire life before being a prince was perfect, Kit. Just like you, I had a terrible time at my school. I was beaten to death on the playground and had to be rescued by none other than your girlfriend, Eliza. I share your pain and suffering sometimes. The truth is, planet Earth tends to be cold and will never get better so as long as injustice, wars and famine exists. I am here for you, Kit."
"Thanks…I always thought of revenge. It was always in my mind. I'm glad they're rotting in prison." Kit turns to Zeke. "So, you're Zeke, huh? You're not bad at all. We can be friends."
"Yeah. You can be my friend, too. So as long as you don't pull any sort of crap later on." Mario says.
"Thanks guys, I appreciate it." Zeke says smiling.
"Well guys, it's official. I'm hungry. I think we can all stop at Canty's." Kit says, his stomach rumbling.
"Sure thing. My stomach is growling too, after all this talk." Mario replied.
"Canty's? I wonder how that'll turn out." Zeke says.
"I'm hungry, so let's go!" Anti-Mario says.
The four walk across town to get to Canty's for delicious desserts and burgers.
(Later, Kit, Mario, Anti-Mario, and their new friend Zeke are hanging out inside the Canty's restaurant, enjoying burgers, fries, and their desserts.)
"This is the best burger I think I've ever had!" Anti-Mario said excitedly.
"For sure." Kit said, reaching for his fries.
"This vanilla shake is so creamy." Zeke said, even though he has never had outside beverages before.
"It sure is. I love the nuggets. The barbecue sauce pairs really well." Mario replied, wiping his face with a napkin.
(Meanwhile, in an unspecified location…)
"The Titans. Poor, ignorant and pathetic Titans. They think they are safe. Only for now. My vengeance draws near. At last. After all these years of waiting…. I shall kill them for their arrogance." A mysterious man in an half-black and orange mask says. He goes to the armory to look for the perfect tools to take down the Titans. He then flies off in his private jet fighter.
(Titans Tower, Jump City, 2020)
It has been 14 years since Dick Grayson AKA Robin and Starfire declared their love for eachother. Now they are a married couple. They still hang out with their friends Cyborg, Beast Boy, Raven and Terra, who have all grown up with them.
Inside the tower, Beast Boy and Cyborg are playing videogames. Raven and Starfire are meditating and relaxing. Terra is watching Beast Boy, hoping that he would kick Cyborg's butt in Cyber Football 2045. Robin is looking up information and stuff on his laptop, being a busy man.
"Strange." Robin thinks to himself. "It's been a decade without any major incidents. Should I disband the Titans? No…that would be stupid. I haven't seen Slade in forever, which worries me….what is he exactly doing? Where is he now? Will he ever strike again?"
Robin sighs, closes the laptop and sips his coffee. Robin does from time to time feel like putting up the green and yellow cape. Jump City has seen some decrease in crime activity since 2008. The Titans are usually called these days to stop day-to-day robberies and car chases. Doing the police's job, so to speak. No sign of giant mutant freaks or psychopathic supervillains for the past decade. "It's so strange. Nothing feels quite right. It's as if one day, the freakshows disappeared." Robin says once again.
Starfire walks up to Robin after her usual mid-day meditation routine with Raven. "What is wrong, honey? You look worried and worn out."
"Nothing, my dear," Robin replies, "I'm just caught up in some things right now. Yeah, I'm a bit tired if I do say so myself. I should just take a rest."
"Well, well, well! Looks like I've finally bested the big man after all these years!" Beast Boy says after he makes a clutch play in the 4th quarter.
"Aw man, you cheated!" Cyborg groaned.
"Pfft. I did not. Besides. Whenever I win, well….rarely whenever, you always throw the cheater card at me. Grow up and relax, dude. It's a game."
Cyborg sighs. "You're right, Beast Boy. Maybe I shouldn't jump to that conclusion. Growing up is inevitable but…it's like I don't want to. I want us to be friends forever."
"I think that's the most heartfelt thing you've said in recent years, Cy."
Beast Boy looks over to Terra. "Did you see that? I won! I won!"
Terra giggles. "Sure did."
Starfire goes to get her usual Tamaranean grub from the Titans fridge when Raven taps her on the shoulder.
"Huh?" she asks.
"Come to my room. I wanna show you something."
"Sure." Starfire replies. The two head to Raven's room.
Meanwhile, Beast Boy is making himself a sandwich while watching a show on the big screen.
"Do you wanna know the difference between those two players, Jeff? One won 6 legitimate rings while staying on the same team his entire career. The other had to form superteams just to get 3 rings. No silly, the Mickey Mouse tournament doesn't count!"
Beast Boy laughs. "True!"
"And the fact remains, Steve. This guy wouldn't survive his era, simple as that! Because of the media riding him throughout the years, Kobe has been taken off the number two spot, which is very disrespectful, since he has 2 more–"
The screen suddenly explodes as a jet rams into the Titans tower. An alarm blares throughout the building.
"Titans!" Robin shouted. "We have a situation!"
Raven, Starfire, Cyborg and Terra run to Robin to see what's going on. Unfortunately for Beast Boy….
"HOLY CRAP!" Cyborg shouted. "Not the TV! That giant 90-inch screen TV! Wait a minute…oh no. Beast Boy! Where are you?"
A sinister chuckle is heard. "You're too late. He's already dead."
Robin, Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Terra gasp.
"No…Slade." Robin mutters.
"Yes. I am back. Surprised? This time. You are finished. And so are your friends."
Robin growls. "YOU FREAKSHOW! He was OUR dearest friend!"
"You'll pay for that!" says Starfire.
"I know he can't be dead. I know he can't! He wouldn't go out like that! He became a small rat or something!" Cyborg says, panicking. He then lifts up the jet that Slade had crashed into the tower.
Terra sheds a tear. "I hope…he isn't actually dead."
"Help me out, Robin! I can't do this all by myself!" Cyborg shouts.
"No, Cyborg. He's dead. Look closely…"
Cyborg looks down at Beast Boy's lifeless, dead body. He begins to cry. "WHY?"
Slade laughs.
"SHUT UP!" shouts an angry Starfire.
"Don't worry, Star. We'll take him down. And this time….for good." Robin says with a cold look on his face.
"No. I am the one who will be taking you all down." says Slade, showing off his giant wristblades.
Raven goes on the attack first. "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"
Slade smartly dodges her attacks. "No. You'll have to do better than that to stop–"
He is interrupted by a blast stream coming from Cyborg's transformed left arm, nearly getting hit from the shot.
"Fool." Slade hissed.
"It's my turn!" Starfire says as she begins to attack Slade using her mystical powers. Slade continues to dodge the attacks from the Titans and doesn't stop to catch his breath.
Robin then rushes to attack Slade with his extended metal staff. Slade blocks the attacks using his blades, until Robin does a leg sweep to get him on the floor. Robin throws down his staff hard, cracking his mask a bit. Slade then kicks Robin in the stomach, gets back up and punches him again in the stomach. Slade then punches him to the ground.
Robin begins to cough alot.
Just before Slade could deliver the crushing blow to kill his opponent, Cyborg throws himself onto Slade, tackling him hard to the floor. "THIS IS FOR BEAST BOY!" Cyborg shouts with fury. "Any last words?" he says this coldly as he draws his weaponized arm right at Slade's face, charging up the one final blast to end him.
"Not a chance." Slade replies, with the same cold tone.
Slade slashes Cyborg's entire left arm with the wristblade on his right arm. Cyborg cries in pain. He chuckles, then it slowly turns into an evil, vicious laugh. He grabs Cyborg's head and begins to crush the circuitry in his face.
"A man turned into machine. How pathetic. I don't need augmentations to destroy you, or the other weakling Titans. Well….it was fun while it lasted. Unfortunately for you…this is goodbye." Slade says as he snaps the neck of Cyborg, tossing him like a piece of trash.
"CYBORG!" Robin cries.
"Let's face it. I have grown stronger. More powerful. I cannot be stopped. Today, the Titans will be no more. I've already killed two. Surrender yourselves now, so I can end your suffering."
"I'll never surrender or let myself be killed by the likes of you!" Robin responds angrily.
Slade chuckles. "A pathetic way to go out. Now. DIE!"
"AZARATH METRION ZINTHOS!" Raven shouts. Slade is thrown to the ground by the impact of her blast.
"Nice work, Raven." Robin says. "Let's finish this for Cyborg and Beast Boy."
Starfire, Raven and Terra nod.
Terra creates a large boulder using the floor and throws it right on top of Slade, seemingly crushing him.
Robin, Starfire and Raven cheer. Until….
A cold and sinister laugh emerges from the rubble. The Titans gasp.
"No way! He should be flat as a pancake!" Starfire says.
"This armor protects me very well. Made of titanium and other composites…."
"Stay away from us! Or else I'll personally destroy you." Raven growls.
"The last words before the fall." Slade said cackling. "I thought you would've all learned your lesson by now."
Slade runs fast over to Raven and begins to choke her. Terra pushes him out of the way. Slade slaps Terra to the ground. Terra, in one last ditch effort to kill Slade, makes part of the ceiling crumble on top of Slade. Unfortunately for her, Slade manages to get out of the way, and the rubble falls right on top of her.
"Another one falls. Victory is nearly mine." Slade says laughing like a maniac.
Luckily for Raven, she isn't crushed underneath the rubble. However, when she isn't looking, Slade kicks her from behind and breaks both her ankles. She screams in sharp pain.
"Robin, honey, we need to go! He's too much for us! We can't handle him!" Starfire screams to Robin.
"NO!" Robin yells. "I am NOT losing Raven either! I am NOT losing another Titan today! I'VE HAD ENOUGH!"
Slade is about to deliver the final blow to Raven to end her life when Robin punches Slade in the face, breaking his mask. Slade growls and pulls out his blaster. He fires a single shot at Robin and misses. Robin picks up the injured Raven and evacuates the tower with Starfire.
"You WILL PAY FOR THAT, ROBIN!" Slade roars. In a fit of rage, he starts burning everything with his flamethrower. The fire alarm rings throughout the building.

Castle of Friendship 5:30 PM
The Prince of Equestria had just arrived home after a day out with his brother, rival and new friend.
He sits on his throne with a smirk, as he strokes his pet cat, named Mouster.
Mouster purrs, nuzzling against the Prince.
His dog, Wolfshocker, barks at them.
Mario smiles and looks at Twilight.
Twilight looks at her boyfriend.
"How did you day go with Anti-Mario?" asked Twilight
Mario beams up with happiness and excitement.
"Oh! It was actually fun. I found out some more things about Anti-Mario and how he was forced to become Lord Zarkiar thanks to Zarkiar himself controlling Anti-Mario with a virus, and brainwashing him into thinking he is his successor. In addition, I also found out that the Umbrans basically saved his life as a result of him being in space, which explains how he survived his last defeat." explained MTSP
"Oh. Wow. That explains so much. Why are there basically two Zarkiars we fought rather than just the original one and why Anti-Mario was even Zarkiar at all." said Twilight
"Yup and it gets even more awesome. Not only did my rival, Kit, join us but we made a new friend. A kind, umbran kid named Zeke. Together, the four of us went out to Canty's and had a nice lunch." said MTSP
"Awww. That's nice. So you guys made a new friend? That's sweet. I would love to meet this new friend." said Twilight
"Yup and you would definitely like h-" Mario tried to say
His heart starts beating. He is having a HEART ATTACK
His head is pounding and he is shaking.
Suddenly, thanks to Princess Luna, the Prince of Equestria is in a dream-like state. The Prince is having a vision. He feels a disturbance in the force.
The vision creeps inside MTSP's brain
A silhouette of Slade appears, around a field of burning fire.
The Prince is facing towards him, going to attack him again.
Slade chuckles.
Before Mario could attack Slade, Slade grabs Mario the Sonic Plush from a chokehold. He was about to escape from his grasp, but he couldn't.
"It was fun trying to stop you, Prince, but I will not play anymore games. You have served your purpose in this world, and now it's your time to fall. Things have to come to an end eventually." Slade said
He laughs. His mouth can be seen due to his mask being cracked.
The face of Deathstroke is revealed to have been that of a skeleton. Slade lets out a devilish grin. Saliva pouring from his mouth, from his insane grin alone.
His red, glowing eyes from under his mask glare at Mario.
Slade attacks at MTSP using a flamethrower. MTSP tries to dodge it but it's too late. Slade's attack pushes The Prince inside the lava pit.
Mario screams. "NOOOOOOO!"
He vanishes
Twilight rushes over to MTSP's side.
"Oh no. Are you okay? What's the matter? DO WE NEED TO CALL AN AMBULANCE!" Twilight yells out, going insane
She keeps scratching her hair, and messing with it, making her look insane like she did during Lesson Zero.
Mario wakes up. He lets out tears.
"I think I am going to die." whispered MTSP
Twilight looks confused.
"WHAT?!" yelled Twilight in confusion
"I am going to die, Twilight! This monster of a being, Slade, or whatever, he is going to kill me. I am scared that I'll meet my demise. It gave me a heart attack, and I am still mortified. Why would Luna even want to give me this vision to begin with? Was she trying to tell me that I could not prevent it, no matter if I tried?!" asked the Prince, panicking
Twilight wraps her arms around him.
"Mario. I can't quite say whether or not it will happen like that, but no matter what happens, I will stand by your side." said Twilight, "I have been there once, where I thought I died because I was practicing a spell from Starswirl but instead Celestia found me and had me become a princess. Perhaps the same would happen to you, if this Slade tries to kill you." said Twilight,
Mario nods. He understands Twilight
"You have a point. Thank you, Twilight." said Mario
"You're welcome." said Twilight
The castle's lights keep shutting off and on. Darkness is filled in the air, as a black ball of fire emerges.
The prince and Twilight gasps.
"Holy Celestia!" yelled out MTSP
"This is crazy, hun! We have to locate the source where this is coming from!" freaked out Twilight
Twilight begins to think of where it could possibly come from.
Twilight then teleports somewhere with Mario accompanying her.

Jump City- 8:30 PM At Titans tower
Robin, Starfire and Raven stand there, still in shock to see that three members of the Titans are now dead. The deceased bodies are just laying on the ground while the Titans tower is in danger of being burnt.
Starfire creates a shield so the building wouldn't entirely burn.
The three fled outside the tower.
Mario and Twilight suddenly appear inside the tower.
"Woah. What is this place?" asked Twilight
"I think this is the Titans tower, if I am not mistaking." said Mario
Twilight sighs.
"I don't think we are in Equestria anymore." said Twilight
"No, we're not. We are in Jump City." said the Prince
The couple walks all over the Titans tower. The two begin to investigate what's been going on, between the shield and the fire that is being blocked by the shield.
Suddenly, they are stepping on the deceased bodies of Beast Boy, Cyborg and Terra.
The Prince and Princess take a step back. They both notice those very deceased bodies.
Twilight sheds tears and yells.
"Who in their right mind would do something like this?! This is horrible!" yelled Twilight, while bursting out so many tears from her face
Mario growls.
"Slade…" said Mario, "I bet it was all him, all him. He would be so cruel as to kill a bunch of innocent heroes who tried to stop him."
Twilight growls.
"That piece of garbage! I wonder if he would try to work for another creepy villain and try to get rid of all of us." said Twilight,
"I wouldn't put it past him." said Mario
Twilight nods.
Mario grits his teeth. His eyes start glowing red from rage.
"I want him gone…" he said, coldly
