So, it was the epic showdown. Cozy Glow, Triek, and Queen Chrysalis were facing all of Equestria. And everything seemed to be everywhere. Who was winning? Well the villains seemed to be.

But then they lost the bell to Pinkie pie. And BANG, BOOM, KA-CHING, WOO HOO, AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF LADI LADI DA'S later. The magic had been restored, and the villains were trapped in cupcakes with cotton candy hairdos.

Now no one but discord can contain his magic without going mad. Now Pinkie, isn't like every pony else. Even though she has it, she seems perfectly fine. Except for the small over looked detail of her being 30 feet tall now. Everything's fine. (Say everything's fine really sarcastically).

Now, she is making not a world full of evil, or even chaos. But basically a Pinkie paradise. Fully furnished with the usual cotton candy clouds, chocolate rain, candy, party cannons, pinatas, and so on so forth. Seriously, if all the things that make up a Pinkie paradise were listed, it could be an entire story by itself!

The villains were now trying to escape and either ambush Pinkie, or escape without being noticed. Probably trying to escape. All lot of ponies were. I mean, even though Pinkie had no harmful intentions; a giant, chaos powered Pinkie Pie is still pretty terrifying.

Now Pinkie notices the villains trying to escape, but they don't get very far. Oh no. They haven't gotten more than 10 feet when all of a sudden, they are being thrown around, tap dancing, baking the largest cake ever, talking in helium voices, and basically being toys for the over sized Pinkie Pie.

They try to resist, but honestly No, seriously! What can they actually do in this kind of situation? Now, with some help from Twilight Sparkle and the magic bell, Pinkie is put back to normal as is the rest of the world. The villains are now just sprawled on the ground trying to catch their breath.

Now as Celestia and Luna approach them very angry like, each of the villains have very different reactions.

"Okay okay! I'm sorry! Just take me back to Tartarus already!" Cozy glow shouts.

"Compared to this, compared to HER!" she points at Pinkie who is just staring of into space reliving her Pinkie paradise.

"Tartarus is going to be a little slice of heaven with endless peace and quiet!"

Chrysalis is just trying to keep stable as she is stumbling, toppling, and just trying to keep upright as she is still very dizzy from being thrown around like a chew toy. And not surprisingly is quite dazed, as all common sense is not a thing at this point.

"Ohhh. My head. I need to go h-home and just relax with doctor log." She moaned.

Triek was still on the ground trying to catch his breath.

"I am getting to old for this. I might just go into retirement myself."

Now, all of the ponies were just looking at them. The Princesses were now looking at them with a look of 'what was that'? Princess Celestia now looked like she was a little concerned, and Princess Luna looked as if she was trying not to laugh.

"Uh" Princess Celestia tried to speak. "Uh, it seems like all of you are..." She was interrupted by Chrysalis collapsing. She now looked annoyed as she rolled her eyes and concentrated. Her horn lighted up and in a few seconds, Chrysalis seemed to have come to her senses.

"Ugh. Where the hell am I. Oh, now I remember. Me and the others were trying to take over Equestria, and we're winning just to note. Until this little creep stole the bell and then became Godzilla. Juggling us around and probably squashing half of Ponyville! Or wherever we are." She said oh so sarcastically.

"And now that I have all your attention, I am going to ask what you plan your next course of action is going to be? After all, you really don't seem to be able to actually take over Equestria." Celestia said.

"I personally think you should be watched at all times after all. You don't really seem capable to take care of yourselves. And I also highly disagree that you should be allowed to do what you want. After all, Tartarus, Dr. Log, or even retirement don't seem like suitable punishment. Actually, it might be deemed a reward. How about Pinkie?" Luna spoke up

All the villains now looked petrified. Them? Being watched by that monster? Them? Being forced to suffer like that?

"Or even be turned to stone" Discord randomly chimed it.

"Sister, even I think that might be uh..." Celestia looked over at the terrified villains.

"Maybe that won't be entirely necessary. I personally think that the recent encounter might be enough to persuade them to making a deal"

"What were you thinking of?" the villains desperately asked. They were praying. With all their might, to he on high, that they wouldn't be forced to spend time with... her!

"Well, maybe you could, after all this. Maybe, actually make a good decision?" Celestia replied

All the villains now looked nervous. And it was apparent that they were racking their brains for either a good idea, or a really good escape route.

"How about they have their magic limited, and they could actually become citizens of Equestria." Twilight offered.

"It could work for both. They get their freedom, while also being the same as every pony else." Starlight Glimmer said as she now appeared from a portal. Every pony now just looked at her.

That is, until a small groan redirected their attention. Cozy Glow sighed and said "Aw, well it does seem that we really don't have any choice. I mean, it is either being turned to stone, being forced to live with Pinkie, or we become equal citizens of Equestria. Would it be okay for us to have night among us so we can discuss our options?"

"Well." Celestia started. "I think maybe you could do so under careful watch in the Canterlot castle. Yes, I think we shall do that. Good bye every pony, although we will need the pillars, the young 6, and of course Twilight and her friends to help if they would be so kind?"

They all nodded, and with that Celestia teleported herself, Luna, the helpers, and the villains. Once there the villains were given a room and left to their own devices for the night. Once along they started to discuss their options.

"We need to think of something!" Triek shouted.

"Yes, but I think the one with us being babysat by that little naive creep is already a no. I mean, seriously, I would rather work on a rock farm or be turned to stone than be babysat by her. I mean, at least now I have some of my sanity. But I know any dignity we have left would be shattered. Anyway, just my two cents worth." Chrysalis inputted

The villains were now just thinking about what they should do. Then Triek and Chrysalis looked at Cozy Glow. Cozy now noticed this, and shouted

"Why are you at ME for?!"

"You know, like it or not, you do have an amazing brain." Triek mumbled. "So, we are looking at the filly that managed to almost drain all the magic from Equestria."

"What has that got to do with anything?" Cozy Glow wondered out loud.

"I think what Lord Triek is trying to say is that, you had almost successfully completed your plans. Further than either one of us. And you, just a reminder and no offense meant. But you I still a filly. And you would need to be very smart to do this. So, I guess we might leave our date mostly on your input." Chrysalis explained

"Oh." Cozy realized "Well, while I do agree that we are not going with Pinkie Pie, I really don't want to be turned into stone. So, I guess our only option is to become citizens of Equestria. At least that way it works for everyone. And I know none of us want to be put on the same level e everyone else, but out of our options, what else do we have? We can't escape, they could have discord track us in 2 seconds flat." Cozy Glow told the other two.

Everyone sighed and nodded in agreement. Soon they were all going to bed to wait for the drama show morning would bring.

Morning arrived, and as the main 6 came to fetch them, the villains shuffled out one by one. All of them were dragging their hooves, and it looked like they were doing almost anything to slow down their infinite doom. As they approached the breakfast table, they actually seemed surprised. As though they thought that they were going to a full criminal trial instead of a normal, okay, a royal normality, breakfast to give their answer.

As they were eating, every pony was eating differently. The main 6 were just eating like they would always. The pillars were eating sort of fast as they seemed sort of eager to hear the response. The young 6 were showing off to each other,like throwing things into each others mouths.

The villains also had different techniques. Cozy Glow was eating so fast, you might have thought that she was in fast forward. It seemed she just wanted to get this over with. Chrysalis on the other hoof, seemed to be seeing how slow she could eat. The inference taken from this was opposite to Cozy Glow. Yes, very different. She was eating so slow, you would've thought that if she moved any slower, she would have been moving backwards. It seemed that she wanted to prolong her fate. Triek was just eating as if he would never eat again!

When breakfast had finally, (Ahem) over, they finally got down to business.

"Now" Princess Luna begun, "What has your outlook on what your fate lies with? Are you going to be babysat, be turned to stone for quite some time, or are you going to be deemed as... 'The Same' as every pony else?"

A small cough redirected attention to a very professional, very precise, very business like, very- (You know what? Let's just get to the point as I am betting many of you want Dear readers.... Anyway)

Cozy Glow had been handpicked out of the villains themselves that she should represent their decision.

"We have decided to try being citizens of Equestria, with a few modifications."

She did another little cough and continued.

"Even though we are giving being reformed a shot, we feel that we just wouldn't fit in with today's society. So, we are fine with you limiting our powers, with you having ways to find us out, to track us, etc, etc, etc. What we feel is that since we understand each other, that we could become a trio and travel. We would still be citizens of Equestria, but not looped in to where we can't function with other ponies and creatures. So maybe more allies than anything else. Would this work. we are willing to bend our reasoning if you can come up with something better."

"That might be possible, and surprisingly reasonable." Princess Celestia stated. "Yes, I think this could work. We shall spend the rest of the week discussing, planning, and tying up any loose ends. Are we all in?"

"Yes" Every pony shouted.

"Okay, with that said and done, let us get to work!"

The rest of the week just flew by! There was so much going on, poor Ocellus almost had a break down. By the time the week was over, it seemed as if there had been so much going on, including teamwork, to get to this point. So much so, that it almost seemed impossible for the villains and the rest to have ever been enemies. But with the departure approaching, final goodbyes were said. The villains had a few magic spells that just allowed the Main 6 to track them, and let them know if any trouble was going on.

And after everything was settled and done, the villain trio was teleported to the Everfree Forest. And once there they celebrated like there was no tomorrow.

"We're FREE!!!" The all shouted, then they turned together and put their hooves in and chanted:

"We are the best, we stand out from the rest!
We are free, we are three,
United as one, we are a team on the go
We are together, The Troublesome Trio!"

They leaped around, and their adventures only just beginning!

Author's Note

The doctor log is from episode 8 of season 9 when Chrysalis is pouring out her soul to a log that is purple. Maybe it is the dead twilight clone. But hey, just look up Queen Chrysalis and her log in the search bar of YouTube.
