Anyways, it’s time to get to the real post!!!! As you can tell, just like my last fan-fic, I’ll be doing my own Soundtrack List, like if “PC&TAS” was turned into an actual movie that is. As usual, I’ll be using other composed music (either real or fan-made) from other people on the Internet and I could only find. Now, let’s take a look at my soundtrack for “Princess Cadence & the Angered Soul”!
#1.) “Only One Year”/Opening Titles/Prologue (“1 Year” By: Tines Sensahthe)
This music is played during the opening titles/prologue of the story with Cadence doing her monologue/”The Main Character Narrates the Story Cliche”. It involves around Cadence and her family’s life, one year after the events of “Shining Armor & the Shadow Kingdom”/King Mephiles’ (Bright Sun’s) defeat. But, what they don’t know is that more of Mephiles’ magic is about to cause more chaos to Equestria, when his corrupted soul strikes. This piece has been on the list that I would definitely use for this Soundtrack and it is from Tines’ “Anniversary” video of his famous fan-film, “Tobias and the Half-Pariah” (one of my inspirations for “SA&TSK” and other posts on my blog), but seems like an opening to his upcoming sequel, “Tobias and the Arcane Merchant”. Here’s how it goes, before we move onto the next one!:
#2.) “Cadence’s Doubts” (“Sudrians Look After Their Own” By: Tines Sensahthe from “TATHP” as a Bonus Track)
The music piece, “Sudrians Look After Their Own”, is during the part where Cadence discusses her worries to Twilight Sparkle (“Sparkle Sparkle Sparkle”) and Shining Armor about King Mephiles and his possible return as an “Angered Soul”, while Twilight explains on how an Angered Soul refuses to rest in peace and can cause trouble for Equestria or the Land of the Living. Shining, however, refuses to believe it because of his overconfidence about his corrupted, long lost brother’s fall and him becoming a hero, once again. He, of course, is wrong and it’s obvious foreshadowing. Other than that, moving on to the next one!
#3.) “The Two Sisters” (“Nerves” By: Kevin Macleod on Incompetech.com)
“Nerves” from Kevin Macleod is during the scene in Chapter 2, when Shining finds out about Mephiles possessing Flash Sentry and setting a trap for Princess Celestia to steal her soul, as well as Princess Luna’s soul as well. But, Shining fails to stop Mephiles from stealing the Two Alicorn Sisters/Rulers of Equestria’s souls, while he gets attacked by a mysterious pony/figure (Dark Diamond, possibly) who uses his magic to weaken Celestia. Now, all you Celestia and Luna fans are pretty traumatized by our two favorite Princesses of the Sun and Night getting killed in an intense way, even though Celestia is a troll/Trollestia.
#3.) “The True Story of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza” (“I’m Not Anybody…Not Yet” By: Tines Sensahthe in “TATAM” & “King Sombra’s Return” BGM in “The Crystal Empire” Parts: 1 & 2)
Both soundtrack scores are heard during the scene, when Cadence reveals her true past to Twilight Sparkle in private, that she was an outcast from the long forgotten Isle of Menn (parody of the Isle of Mann). Later, they soon figure out that Dark Diamond from Cadence’s past might still be alive and the mysterious cloaked figure that nearly killed Shining and weakened Celestia, earlier. In order to solve the problem, Twilight decides to visit a pony named “Ben Zane” in the old Vancouver Port, in order to figure out more about King Mephiles and his supernatural powers. I know what you’re thinking, “Why Can’t They Just Go to Zecora and Her Hut in the Everfree Forest????!!!!” Well, let’s just say that she might have been a victim of King Mephiles. 😉 Other than that, let’s move forward to the next piece!
#4.) “Train Ride of Darkness” (“Penumbra” By: Kevin Macleod)
As you can tell from the music’s title, this is during the scene where King Mephiles attacks the train that is taking Shining Armor, Cadence, and Twilight to Vancouver Port, where they encounter (probably) one of my favorite characters in my fan-fiction, Ben Zane. I thought that this music from Kevin Macleod was perfect for this scene because of the tone of it is very eerie and dark, especially when it’s for any dark character in the show, “MLP: FIM”, or even for Princess Luna/Nightmare Moon. Now, THIS is the music that is definitely fitting for King Mephiles!!!!! 😀
#5.) “Not My B.B.B.F.F.” (“Return of the Machines” from “9”By: Danny Elfman and Deborah Lurie)
“Not My B.B.B.F.F.” is (BIG BUCKING SHOCK) when King Mephiles attacks once again and tries to chase after our heroes, until Shining Armor sacrifices himself by fighting back and holding against it. This results in his soul being sucked away, much to the shock of Twilight and Cadence, while they and Ben Zane continue to Ben’s hut. *CUE “B.B.B.F.F.” REPRISE HERE*:
Anyways, continue.
#6.) “The Alcrox Amulet”/”Ben Zane’s Theme” (“James” By: Tines Sensahthe in “TATAM”)
After Shining Armor’s tragic death, Ben Zane helps our surviving heroes to his hut, where he explains them about why Mephiles is strong enough to capture any soul or ghost from any pony or creature in Equestria because of the Alcrox Amulet. This is not only one of my favorite themes, but my favorite music composure for any scene that conveys tension or fitting for one of my favorite “T&F” characters, “James the Red Engine”!!! I can honestly say that my favorite “Thomas” character fan-composure is for one of my favorite OC’s in “MLP: FIM”, “Ben Zane”.
#7.) “I See….” (“Right Behind You”/”Sir Frederick Aura’s Theme from EE93’s Series, ‘Enterprising Engines'” By: Kevin Macleod on Incompetech.com & “Dark Memory” By: Silent Partner)
Once again, two composed music pieces are used in this soundtrack. This time, it’s when Ben Zane gets his migraine, which reveals more about his past in his visions (similar to Shining Armor’s nightmares/visions in “SA&TSK”), how he has amnesia, and how he’s struggling to find his real identity. Well, at least Shadow the Hedgehog had also visions of his dark past when he lost his memory in “Sonic the Hedgehog” and during games “SA2(B)”, “SH”, and “Shadow the Hedgehog” (AKA “The Shadow Trilogy”), which was a pretty interesting character, in my opinion.
#8.) “A Soulless Maelstrom” (“Battle Under the Bridge” By: Tines Sensahthe)
“A Soulless Maelstrom”/”Battle Under the Bridge” is when Mephiles returns once again to attack our heroes, before revealing that he killed EVERYPONY in Twilight’s hometown, Ponyville, (including the Mane Six/Twilight’s best friends/the Main/Mane Characters), steals Twiley’s soul, and attack Cadence and Ben Zane in the ocean. I have to admit, it’s very similar to the scene in the latest “Thomas” special, “Sodor’s Legend of the Lost Treasure” when Skiff purposely capsizes Sailor John from escaping with the treasure in the ocean near Arlesburgh Harbor. I was thinking that to myself when I first wrote this scene/fan-fic and honestly, I feel like I’m using too many action scenes that were done before. But, you know what they say, “I Was Inspired By Other People”! 😉
#9.) “The Isle of Menn” (“Spacial Harvest” By: Kevin Macleod & “If What You Say is True” By: Jun Senoue, Yutaka Minobe, Tomoya Ohtani, and Mariko Nanba from “Shadow the Hedgehog”)
This is when Cadence and Ben Zane regain consciousness and find themselves at the Isle of Menn, the Island where Cadence was first born and was her old home, off of Equestria. As they go inside the labs where Cadence was created and are about to go inside Lab #29 to find answers, Cadence worries that she’s not really who she claims to be. But, Ben Zane assures her that she’s fine just the way she is and Cadence will always be the Cadence we know and love, which cheers her up, of course.
#10.) “Dark Diamond” (“Announce the Truth 2013” By: Noriyuki Iwadare from “Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney”: “Dual Destinies”/”Ace Attorney 5”)
Because of the title, “Dark Diamond”, you can understand that this is when our heroes accidentally go inside Lab #29, when King Mephiles ambushes them and discover that the cloaked figure is actually Dark Diamond, just like what Twilight and Cadence said. He also shows more info about who Cadence really is: “A CLONE”!!! This sure reminds me of “Shed 17”, except that it was VERY DISTURBING!!!!!!
#11.) “The Real Cadence” (“Dark Times”, “Anxiety”, and “Dune: Final Dream” Theme By: Kevin Macleod from Incompetech.com and David Paich)
