Chapters Chapter One: What Happened?
Sombra, Tirek, and the rest of the villains are back in Ponyville. How are they already back in Ponyville after their defeats is unknown… .
Queen Chrysalis have first thought that they were brought back by an evil sorcerer that despised all of ponykind for their misdeeds, and possibly wanted revenge too.
Cozy Glow thinks that they were back because of a magical artifact that somepony have accidentally bumped into… ; causing them to be teleported back here.
Lord Tirek thought that the reason why or how is that it was a spell gone wrong… .
King Sombra meanwhile just simply thought that they were returned to Ponyville by one of the Cake Twins’ magical outbursts. How did he knew about them is practically up to debate.
However; before they could fully grasp as to how they’ve returned; Princess Luna flew right in front of them, and then said; “it was me… . I brought y’all back here!”
A little confused; yet also not too phased by it; King Sombra stepped forward towards Luna, and then says; “so… . You couldn’t stop thinking about me huh… ?” Sombra said with a smirk and a wink.
Smirking also; yet shaking her head in denial; Princess Luna approached the group, and then said; “not necessarily… no. The reason why I brought y’all here is that I was wondering if I were to get y’all something to drink… ? How’s that?”
Blinking; yet also feeling like it could be a trap somehow… ; King Sombra approached the princess, and then says; “what’s the catch your highness… ? Usually we’d be defeated by your kind; you know… ?”
Luna then groans in annoyance while facehoofing, and then says; “usually… yes. But this time… ; no.”
Confused; Cozy Glow then asked; “why is that? I thought we were just villains… ?”
Luna sighs again, and then says; “usually; yes. But… ; since I’ve summoned y’all here; I thought that I could take the load off; you know… ? Also;” Luna began before approaching King Sombra, and then continued by saying; “I’ve always wondered what it’ll be like to hang out with the villains… .”
Sombra began to chuckle, and then asked; “and why is that… ?”
Luna then transformed herself into nightmare moon, and then says; “because I was a villain too, and I wanted to forget about it… ; you know… ?”
Blinking; yet also again not too surprised; King Sombra cleared his throat, and then says; “true… . But then again; how do I know that you’re still villainous… ; eh? Because of course… ; I’m thinking of this gathering as for villains only… you know?”
Luna sighs one last time out of annoyance and slight exhaustion, and then says; “because I can always think about ruling over the world if I’m bored… . And besides… . If you villains were to ever think about doing anything bad, or whatnot… . Then I can have the authority to have you villains captured, or defeated again. What do you say… ?”
Sombra sighs out of annoyance too, and then says; “I guess we can ally with you for a little while… . But how in the world are you gonna let us in without us being noticed?”
Grinning; Luna transformed herself back to normal, and then says; “leave that to me”; before gathering up the villains, and walking them with her to the Ponyville Bar and Tavern.
Chapter Two: The Tavern Days
The villains; (and Luna); have arrived inside the Tavern in Ponyville.
Seeing that everypony inside the tavern stopped whatever it is that they were doing to stare… ; Princess Luna; (whom is still princess at the time before Twilight’s Coronation); clears her throat, and then says in her canterlot voice; “these villains are under my supervision; got it?! Now; if any of y’all were to have any problems with them, then y’all would have to deal with me! Understand?!”
The ponies all nodded in agreement, and got back to whatever it is that they were doing before when the villains weren’t around.
With that; Luna gestured for the villains to follow her to their seats, and they did.
After getting to their seats; King Sombra begins to look around the tavern… ; taking in the strange; yet also very interesting decor of the tavern’s interior.
Queen Chrysalis was too busy with flicking off, or messing with some wood shavings from the wooden table… .
Lord Tirek is currently busy with picking at his fingernails to get some crud out and off of it… .
And as for Cozy Glow… ; she’s too busy whining about being here… . Reason is unknown… . Maybe it could be because she’s bored… . The decorations inside the tavern scare her… . Or just maybe that the ponies within the tavern are secretly glaring at her… and threatening her with certain knives provided from inside the tavern… ; causing her to shake in fear; surprisingly since she’s still a villain… .
Hours have passed; (or at least it felt like it… ). And it would have seemed that the table that Luna and the others are in have not been able to get their order taken… . So with that; Luna slams the table with one of her hooves, got angry, and then shouted in her Canterlot voice; “what’s taking so long… ?! Don’t they know who I am… ?! They should all pay for this!”
Soon after that outburst… ; Shining Armor; (surprisingly); came over with a menu and a ordering notebook, and then says in a stern; yet also semi friendly service like voice; “well… . Since you’re here… . Do you mind telling me what it is that you and your villainous buds are doing here… ?”
Luna sighs in frustration, and then says; “look general… ; all that I ask is some service here… ; okay… ?” Luna’s veins then began to bulge out when she got red in the face, and then demanded in a almost Canterlot voice; “… because if I don’t get what I want, or requested… ; then obviously and surely; there will most definitely be hell to pay… !”
Confused; Cozy Glow asked; “but I thought it was called Tartarus… ?”
Turning to her with a righteous fury; Luna then shouts; “it’s the same thing… !” That little outrage of hers caused the tables from within the tavern to shake under the immense pressure; (or whatever it’s called when someone shouts, and it makes the entire room, and everything in it; to shake and wobble like if it’s some sort of cartoon… ).
Having been shouted at; Cozy Glow then began to tear up; (since after all; she’s still just a little filly… ); sniffles, and then began to cry.
King Sombra then sighs, and then says; “just get me a strawberry and mango smoothie; plus a bloody filly to go with that on the side… .”
Shining Armor then wrote the order down, and then asked; “anything else?”
Sombra nodded, and then said; “Chrysalis I think; would like a pineapple martini; please.”
Shining Armor wrote that down, and then asked; “and… ?”
Sombra then replied; “also; get Princess Luna the nightingale Axe Breath; with a rum and grass cola chaser; please… .” Luna then burts out; “on the rocks too!”
Shining Armor then wrote down the order, and then leaned towards Cozy Glow, and asked; “and what would she be having… ?”
Tirek just sighs, and then says; “get me a rootbeer and chubby chocolate chaser please… . With some tequila vodka from the Crystal Empire… . And probably some watermelon ale… ; on the rocks… .”
Shining Armor sighs, wrote down Tirek’s order… and then looks back at Sombra; (his archenemy), and then asks; “and for Cozy Glow… ? What does she want?”
Cozy Glow sniffles, tries to order… but eventually couldn’t, and began crying some more… .
Sombra just sighs, and then says; “just get her whatever makes her feel better… .”
Shining Armor nodded, and wrote down the order. He then says; “well… ; that was a lot of drinks… . Thanks for the business.”
Sombra just shrugged it off, and then says; “it depends… . So; what did you exactly write down for Cozy Glow… ?”
Cozy Glow then stopped crying to listen in… .
Shining Armor sighs, and then says; “we just only have water on the rocks for her… . She is after all underage… . So we can’t exactly give her any alcoholic beverages to drink… . Right?”
Sombra sighs, and then says; “I guess not…” before looking defeated.
Feeling bad for Cozy Glow; Shining Armor sighs; knowing that he’s gonna get in trouble for this, and then says; “how about I give her something off menu; you know… ? Like a chocolate smoothie for instance… . Would that be okay… ?”
Cozy Glow gasped, and then asks; “you can do that?”
Shining Armor shook his head no, and then says; “thing is… ; if I were to offer any off menu drinks again… then I’m fired. Understand… ?”
Sombra sighs, and then says; “I’m sure you’ll figure something out. For now; just worry about getting our drinks; okay?”
Shining Armor sighs once more, and then says; “I’m so getting fired for this…” and then goes to get their orders in check.
Meanwhile; Sombra is just rubbing his head, and then sighs in a little bit of frustration before saying; “ooh how this was a bad idea… .”
Luna shrugs, and then says; “well… ; could be worse; right… ?”
Sombra groans in frustration, and then says; “oh how I wish you haven’t said that…” right as before the Royal Guards from Canterlot broke through the door… .
Chapter Three: A Near Close Shave
With spears being raised at everyone; all of the tavern’s participants; (especially the villains that are with Princess Luna); are raising their hooves/appendages, and then looked on in horror as to what they’re doing here… .
Everyone inside the Tavern were sweating like crazy… ; wondering as to why the Royal Guards were at the tavern… . Just then; an important looking guard stepped foreword from the rest of the guard group; (most likely a captain); unveiled a scroll from within his breastplate armor, unrolls it, and then reads: “we are here to arrest Shining Armor, and it’s workers for serving unauthorized, and untaxed alcohol in these premises… . If any of you do have any information about them; do not hesitate to speak up. Failure to do so will result in everyone getting chained, and then being sent to the Canterlot dungeons for your crimes… . Especially you villains too… . Understand?” Everyone in the bar nodded their heads, and awaited for the guards to hopefully leave. With that; the Captain said; “that’s good…” and then walked to the counter to speak with Shining Armor; whom is cowering behind there.
Shining Armor then slowly rose up with his hooves raised, smiles meekly, and then says; “h-hey guys… . H-how about we just forget that I was here, and you guys can go back to protecting Celestia; okay? What do you say… ?”
Without so much as a warning; the Captain nailed Shining Armor in the face; (giving him a black eye), and then tossing him over the counter before slamming him onto the ground. After that; the captain said; “this is what happens when you sell alcohol to underaged colts and fillies; let alone sell alcohol in a place where it’s not legal, and not taxed… ; understand?!” Shining Armor nodded, and then face plants on the ground from the pain that he’s in… .
Seeing all of this unfold; all of the villains, (and Luna); are currently gathering around each other, and whispering towards each other to come up with a plan of escape… .
But; just as before they were about to enact their plan; the guard captain grabbed Luna’s flowing mane; (which stopped momentarily), and then threw her to the ground before pointing at her with their spear.
Gulping in nervousness; knowing as to who it was that was threatening her with the spear; Luna chuckles nervously, and then says; “h-h-hey there Reginald… . Wh-wh-what are you doing here… ?”
Wasting no time; he gripped his spear tighter, and then says; “I’m here to take you, and your villainous friends to Canterlot! What else would I be here for?!”
Cozy Glow then did a comeback with; “to drink and have fun?” Unfortunately; that prompted one of the guards to hit Cozy Glow with the handle side of their spear, and then backed away to keep their distance while pointing their spear at her again.
Seeing as to what happened; Luna got angry; grabbed the spear that was pointed at her and broke it in half, and then stood up with a righteous fury and shouted; “you hitted a child?! How could you?!”
Reginald showed no remorse; smirked, and then replied; “she was a villain Luna. Clearly; you knew… .”
But just before Luna could hurt the captain that she once called her friend; King Sombra approached Reginald slowly yet briskly, and then punched him so hard that he face planted on the ground. And just like that; a bar brawl broke out between the guards, and the bar patrons… .
Chapter Four: The Great Escape
The bar is in chaos… . Drinks flying everywhere, ponies pounding each other into submission with their hooves, and last of all; the villains; (plus Luna); are currently in the middle of it; surprisingly unaffected by what’s happening all around them… .
“We should go now…” Cozy Glow said while getting up from the floor.
Luna nodded, and then said; “but first; we have to get Shining Armor out of here… . It’s the least we can do… .”
Sombra sighs; mainly because he hated his enemy, but then reluctantly says; “fine… . But it doesn’t mean I’ll help him in future endeavors you know… .”
Luna then replied; “fair enough… ;” and then went with them to retrieve Shining Armor, and then leave before anyone notices.
Yet unfortunately; before they could make a clean getaway; Reginald stopped in front of them blocking the door. And as you might have guessed; he got a few small cuts from glass shards of broken dishes; plus a big bruise on his cheek from King Sombra giving him a good punch… . Not only that, but he was not happy.
King Sombra cleared his throat, and offered an apology; only to have a few royal guards point their spears at him; causing him to back off.
“I’m sorry that it has to come to this… ;” began Reginald. “but it has come to my attention that you villains have indeed caused trouble, and that you and the Princess are gonna have to face trial for your crimes… . What do you have to say for yourselves?”
Cozy Glow then reveals herself slightly from hiding behind King Sombra, and then meekly says; “not guilty… ?” Reginald then scoffed, and said; “wrong answer… ;” causing the guards to point their spears once more; now with determined looks.
With that; the group backed each other into a center, and awaited for their punishment in fear. Reginald then smirks, and then replied; “any last words… ?” Sombra then just said; “just one… ;” before hitting the deck and shouted; “incoming!” Soon after that; Reginald got nailed by a flying metal cart right to his face; causing him, and the guards he was with to be thrown outside, and lying on the ground with various injuries… ; (nothing too severe; just some cuts and bruises). With their chance of escape; the group took it, and got Shining Armor the heck out of dodge.
After collecting themselves at the edge of the Everfree Forest; the group then checked each other out for any injuries, and then gave the all clear once they were sure that no one had gotten hurt.
Unfortunately; before they could go to hide out in Sugarcube Corner; Shining Armor then passed out with a audible thud, and then just stopped moving entirely. This caused the group to pick him up, and run away; for fear that Reginald was gonna be back… .
This little night of theirs is definitely gonna get a lot more worse from here on out… .
Chapter Five: The Reckoning
Author's Note
Be advised; there will be an epilogue after this. Don’t forget!
Chapter Five: The Reckoning
The group are inside Sugar Cube Corner; tending to their wounds, and comforting Cozy Glow since she’s getting a bruise as to where the guard has hit her with the handle side of their spear.
And as to what the Cakes think of it… . They’re too busy either calming down the Twins; or trying their best to not break down as well because they thought that the villains are here to do something bad.
Luna eventually assures them that they’re not here to do something bad, and that she will personally keep a close eye on them for just in case… .
With their worries all solved; the Cakes got the Twins to calm down, and led them upstairs so they could sleep for the night.
Unfortunately; what anyone here doesn’t know is that the villains; (and Princess Luna); are gonna be in for a world of hurt. Only time will tell… .
“There you are kid… . All better?” King Sombra said as he’s done bandaging up Cozy Glow’s bruise with an ice pack attached to it. Cozy Glow then nodded her head, and leaned in while holding out her hooves for a hug. King Sombra then accepted the hug, and then went to set Cozy Glow down on the Twin’s play area; so that way she can calm down some more, and then feel better by playing with some toys; (with the Cakes, and the Twin’s approval of course).
Meanwhile; Tirek is being treated for his wounds by Queen Chrysalis in the kitchen. Why the kitchen? It’s so that way Cozy Glow won’t see anything too “graphic”; in a sense… .
“So… ;” Tirek began… ; “I see that you’ve done this before huh? Patching up ponies that are hurt and all that?” Chrysalis responded by aggressively pulling out a glass shard that was lodged in one of Tirek’s arms from a glass cup that shattered during the bar fight, and then quickly bandaged up the area before saying; “changelings technically… but yeah.”
And as for Princess Luna; she’s just sipping from a orange juice glass since she’s thirsty.
Hours have passed, and it seemed that the gang was gonna go leave so the Cakes could have their home back. Unfortunately; right as they were about to leave; Reginald, and a big looking guard with juggernaut like knight’s armor; bursted through the door, and then blocked the way out.
Giving out a heavy sigh; not in the mood for another fight; King Sombra approached them, and then says; “can we not do this… ? It’s late… .”
Not caring as to what a villain has to say; Reginald moves him aside, and headed straight for Princess Luna; whom as you might’ve already guessed; is not in a very good mood since she thought that they had escaped his sight. Unfortunately; that’s just not the case, and Luna just knows that this fight will not only be personal… but painful as well… . She’s just hoping that her newfound pals could help her… ; if they don’t get clobbered by the juggernaut first that is… .
“So…” Reginald began. “How’re you doing; Princess of the Night?”
Luna responded with a scoff; “just fine; really… . Until you showed up.”
Reginald smirked, got close to Luna, and then says; “look now; how about we just get you back to the castle, have the villains and Shining Armor arrested, and we’ll just pretend that none of this ever happened. Okay? What do you say… ?”
Luna thought for a minute; before responding; “I’d rather get chained in a dungeon than to ever go with you and bruiser… .”
Bruiser; (the guard in the juggernaut suit); stepped up to the Princess, and then said in a deep voice that’s slightly hindered due to the heavy armor that he’s wearing; “now now your highness… . No need for resorting to brute force now; would we?”
King Sombra stepped in front of Luna; (defending her), with horn glowing with shadow magic, and then says; “oh… I think that’s lovely… ;” while cracking his shadow knuckles by clenching them. “Now… ; I will give you guys two choices… . You either A; leave and not bother us again. Or B; me and my allies; (Luna included); will kick your sorry butts for harming Cozy Glow; (since she’s just a little filly), and also for hurting Shining Armor when he’s clearly just trying to make ends meet. I mean; after all… ; he can’t support being royalty without paying his own taxes; am I right… ?”
Having enough of his time wasted; Reginald unsheathed his sword, and demanded; “now you listen here! Either you let us arrest Shining Armor, and you villains. Or; I can get Celestia in here, and then we’ll all be in trouble. Is that understood?”
Sombra nodded, and then said; “you do make a good point there… .” He then got behind Reginald, and then said; “however; you forgot one minor detail…” before unsheathing his own sword.
“And just what would that be; you cur?!” Reginald responded in spite.
Sombra then replied with; “I’m a lot more quicker than you think; rodent!” After that; Sombra then swiftly roundkicked Reginald square on the side of his face, and then shoved Luna out of the way before being hit with Bruiser’s blunt weapon… ; (which mind you didn’t hurt because his crown cushioned the blow), and then got sent flying due to the impact; right onto the wall by the Cake Twin’s play area.
Seeing this; Chrysalis and Tirek got out some kitchen utensils, and then went to go attack the juggernaut. Bruiser retaliated by swinging his weapon… ; successfully keeping the two villains in check.
Without hesitation; Luna then jumped on top of Bruiser, and then starts hitting him on his helmet; hoping that it’ll disorient him. Unfortunately; it’s ineffective, and Luna was just thrown away from him like it was nothing. Luna wasn’t hurt too bad, but that didn’t stop her from going back to trying to hurt Bruiser once again… .
After a half hour; Bruiser is on the ground, and covered in bruises. And as for Reginald; he’s cornered by the night guard of Princess Luna.
And with that; the fight’s over. The end.
Epilogue: The Night’s Still Young
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Prologue: The Day of Darkness
King Sombra; now having just came back from being defeated; decides to go get his revenge once more at the Crystal Empire… , and decided to go even further as to rule over all of Equestria as well.
It worked out for him… . Right up until the end that is… ; when Twilight and her pals showed up and defeated him once more… . Hopefully it was permanent… .
Queen Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow; have just defeated Discord… . And are just about to drain all the magic from him again; when suddenly he fled. Having no other choice; they just let him be, and then laughed maniacally together before setting out to go and get their revenge on Twilight Sparkle… .
However; just before they could… ; as if it’s like some Marvel’s Avengers scene; (patent pending); everyone from everywhere in Equestria has arrived, and helped defeat the villains once and for all.
All the villains except Discord since obviously he’s not a villain anymore… but a reformed one… .
Soon after the battle; Twilight and her pals say their final goodbyes to each other, and then separate for what could possibly be their final moments with each other… .
However; what everyone doesn’t know is that the villains are not so defeated as they thought they would have been… .
How will the ponies react to this… ? They’ll have to find out once they return… . And oh boy will the villains return… with a vengeance possibly… .
