Emperor Hiduras/ King Bacterian

Hiduras was floating.. He doesn't even know if he's alive.. Has he done it? Has he finally achieved death?
Is this death?

He opened his eyes but all he see's is darkness.. And yet not too dark as a figure spawns in front of
him in a form of a shadow figure..

"Is that you Satan?" Asked Hiduras.

The Overlord responds with.

"Even better, your teacher."

"What?"

Hiduras was looking and staring at the Overlord.. Who was this guy? And well.. That's when Sombra come
up from behind.

"You wonder the same question too?" He asked.

"S--S-SOMBRA!" Surprised Hiduras.

"That's me..." Responded Sombra as he then see's Hiduras bowing down to his hoof.

"I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NO-"

*Enter slap sound here*

The Overlord slaps Hiduras in the face as he was not a impatient guy but he doesn't like to waste time
neither.

"Are you done.." Said Overlord.

"I guess so.. So where are we? And where are my subjects are they here too!"

"No. You were teleported out of that dammed world."

"But what about my subjects!"

"Don't worry they'll join us when we start our own conquest. But for now you need to be teached."
Insisted Overlord.

"Teached? TEACHED ABOUT WHAT!" Exclaimed Hiduras."

Overlord chuckled a little as he started his explanation.

"Let me give you the context of "about what." It's apparent that your defeat was the dumbest defeat but
yet honorable. You still got defeated by girls and their posy of other allies. Clearly you must learn that even
in fights and battles the enemy will no doubt try to use your mind against you. But not only that,
but the part where you almost got wasted by a transformed petty human that you and your subjects
used as a body vessel shows how much of a idiot you are."

"HOW DARE YOU! CALL ME! THE EMPEROR OF THE FORMER PHADRIAN EMPIRE GLORIOUS THAN EQUESTRIA BY THE WAY! A IDIOT JUST BECAUSE I ASKED TO BE KILLED AND DIE!"

"It's a pathetic cycle. Even as a fool as you would be much of a coward to ask for death. But that is why I saved you from the worst fate that a villian could ever had.."

"And what's that?" Asked Sombra.

"Reformation into friendship. A disgusting way to go out even to go against your own dignity.
Ashamed Discord chose this fate.. What a waste." Disgusted Overlord.

Hiduras kinda considered giving up when he was at gun point in a second but.. If it truly disgusts
a shadow guy then surely reformation is a trashy fate. The same fate that Discord. The God of Chaos,
chose reformation over rampage. Truly was a waste.

"Well I guess I could say thank you.. But what now?" Asked Hiduras.

"Now you must begin your own reformation into using your brain for once."

"What do you mean?" Asked Hiduras again.

"What I mean is, since you know good and well about patience and how you waited very good while
you also proved nothing of your dominance.. Like really.. Trees? That is the most bullshit I ever
seen in my life time. Using trees.. You know I used a entire army of crocodiles once on this land
back before I became a wonderer. Of course.. That was before I met Grogar."

"GROGAR!" Said the two in Unison.

"I guess you've heard about him have you? It's sad that a well respected blue goat suffers a desolate fate
from the 'great gusty' I like to say if I ever see gusty I would have torn him to pieces.. But of course..
He's dead. But I doubt the one named Twilight is any different."

"Grr.. That purple pony is the one that lead to my downfall! And so is her friends.."

"Oh please the most insulting thing to ever have me defeated! WAS A PURPLE DRAGON!"

The two started bickering over who to blame and what the downfall was as the Overlord was just walking
between the two in their arguments as he brewed himself some tea and bagels and sat on the chair
as the two continued to argue.

a day later and they continue to argue.. Overlord decided.

"ENOUGH!"

The two were blown off their feet and on the concrete wall as they looked at the Overlord
that's towering over them as Sombra was covering his face and Hiduras was staring at the Overlords
rage filled face as even Hiduras was a bit cowering in fear.

"Now! As punishment! You will learn what those six loathsome ponies went through while befriending
each other."

"And That is?" Asked Hiduras.

"Being teached by Sombra."

"WHAT!" Said the two in unison.

"Oh please you were bowing at his feet a day ago..."

"BUT THAT'S BEFORE HE STARTED SHOWING OFF HIS DEFEAT!"

"Oh please! At this rate you explained to me how you were defeated."

The Overlord was actually smirking at this. Usually he would get aggravated but this is actually good!
The two continued to explain each other of how they lost to the main 6 as the Overlord could clap for these
magnificent brilliant fools.

"YES YES! YOU BOTH FINALLY GOT IT AHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Laughed Overlord
as the two looked at him.

"Wait..? What do you mean?" Confused Sombra.

"Yea we were arguing and you hated that!"

"Maybe so but I almost forgot that the best way of victory is reviewing and admitting defeat. It's
Both honorable and.."

"Strategic.. Well played." Admitted Hiduras.

"Well I was going for win-win but I guess that works to." Added the Overlord

"Indeed, well played Overlord. Well played." Said Sombra.

"Overlord?" Wondered Hiduras.

"I should have introduced myself. The name is the Overlord."

"Overlord of wh-"

"Darkness." Interrupted Sombra.

"Oh.."

"Will you commit to following me in my ways of a victory and vengeance?" Asked Overlord.

"I will commit my Overlord." Committed Hiduras.

Sombra was glad to set Hiduras up for that argument and the Overlord winked at each other at convincing
a good way of getting loyalty in a way of a defeat and sore losing.

"Then we shall start your training now. We will start with Scenario 1."

Author's Note

And thus another villian but it's OC this time becomes yet another subject for the Overlords ploy..

The list of Villians to be trains and assimilated for the plan.

AhuizotI.

Tirek..

Tantabus...

Chrysalis

Pony of Shadows

and that one short pony that the Overlord will most likely to take interest in
Cozy glow.

Everyone else who is antagonist but not on this list can perish.

With that said here's a good training montage music.

Now I'm not much of a antagonist supporter but.. WORK IT! WORK THAT USELESS BRAINS OF YOURS!! Ok I'm done cya at Chapter 7 of A General Destiny.

AhuizotI

AhuizotI spawned in the void of darkness. He looked around wondering.. Where the hell is he and why is
is dark yet bright here..
That was before the Overlord spawned over him as he took a good look at this black figure with red
eyes, a cloak, and well.. A darkness of nothingness..

"Hello AhuizotI. I've been expecting you." He said as AhuizotI was trembling a little before he finally let it out.

"WHERE AM I CREATURE! AND WHAT IS THIS PLACE!" He shouted as his voice echoed through the dark void.

The Overlord smiled, it was cleared that this one has no fears in the previous world but what was delicious was
the fact that he was shaking before him and he can sense it. It was like a good fast food dinner for the Overlord
but that wasn't what he brought him here for as he has other plans.

Brain washing, loyalty lesson, and preparation. Was the key words for the villians that would fail before
him, but AhuizotI once again repeated as he says.

"WELL! WHERE AM I!" He demanded.

Finally without stalling the Overlord revealed why he was here.

"You are here for a reason, you have some qualities of god patience but you were too patient and even gloated
like seriously.. Marriage purposal.. It sounds like some old age joke I hear everyday just by the sound of it
and then you got defeated by letting too much patience get to you, and then when they clearly had this
'artifact' that has extreme importance to you. You instead had half of your guards go for the well armed
and the other for the ring and not the entire.. Either way you were gonna lose though.. What exactly
was all this just for a single ring.."

"ITS NOT JUST A SINGLE RING YOU FOOL! ITS A RING THAT WILL BRING HEAT AND DESTRUCTION."

The Overlord was not intimidated. Like are you serious.. Heat AND destruction? I mean obviously
considering heat strokes and agriculture wise devastation it's sad that villians had just went stooped to this
type of new low nowadays.. Well at least for this villian that was.

"Oh no! It's the 'heat and destruction' that AhuizotI said would bring ahhhh." The Overlord Mimicked as
the AhuizotI was not only insulted but aggravated.

"So where am I is the question! I demand what this place is!"

The Overlord could continue to come up with other things just to aggravate AhuizotI more but of course
a good insult does get him warmed up to do what must be teached. Finally the Overlord answers.

"Your in the place that I like to call paradise, and you will be working on a. Certain project."

"What type of project." AhuizotI questioned as the Overlord spawns a board.

"Obviously we are gonna need a scientist if we are going to accomplish our goals and from what I can tell
you are a perfect pick to be our new big brain for our upcoming invasion." The Overlord explains.

"What... I am no scientist just a ruler of a temple who wishes to scorch the field out of their precious life! And you
refer to me as something that I am not!?"

Sombra and Hiduras dropped into the conversation as they were looking for the Overlord and it seems
that they have a new friend to ~~play~~ train with as Sombra was a bit fascinated with this.
Strange creature that the Overlord had uniquely chosen so.. Why?

"Master if I may why is he important to us exactly he?" Sombra would ask as the Overlord
Stares at him.

"We need a scientist." The Overlord Answered.

"What.. But why would he be chosen to lead the path of science and while we would be training
on our problems he goes off doing. Well.. SCIENCE!?" Hiduras Exclaimed in Confusion, but the Overlord
responded.

"Because of this."

The Overlord hovers his shadowy hand over the AhuizotI's head, at first the three were confused before
a electricity of dark magic lifted AhuizotI off the Shadowy ground as his eyes turned pure black as Sombra
and Hiduras were in total awe as AhuizotI was back down to the ground as if he was dropped from a high
place.

Sombra was first to say.

"Creature AhuizotI? What do you feel?"

"I feel... Intelligent." AhuizotI responded.

The Overlord throughs a rubrics cube which Sombra and Hiduras never seen before as Overlord request.

"Solve this cube."

Immediately AhuizotI in 10 seconds quickly solved the cube in a great pace which shocked the two villians
who never seen such fast smart mind work on something new they never seen before, but the Overlord
was now bloviated at what he demonstrated to be the test of power.

"ME NEXT!" Shouted Hiduras.

Sombra wasn't a person to look for a easy path to being smart and the Overlord knows it but Hiduras on
the other hand.

"Unfortunately that was just for AhuizotI because we are in desperate need of a researcher and investigator,
however he still is himself just more smarter.

"Indeed I am, now get me some equipment."

"You got it doc." The Overlord responds as he snapped a table with science equipment.

"I need you to start research on how to rebuild those rings that Daring do smashed." The Overlord requested.

"It'll take a week boss but I'll get on with it starting now." Answered the now smart AhuizotI.

"Sombra." Requested Overlord as he looks at his master. "Start a fighting lesson, we will begin on the basics
on this subject of agility but you might want to look around every corner."

"Yes, my master." Sombra submitted as clouds surrounded him to a scenario, and it's.. Canterlot.
Sombra walked around as his marked target to kill was Celestia only as he entered Canterlot
castle as the guards charged at him in full force and potential as Sombra using his power and magic
at his disposal along with what he was teached he spawned behind them, counter attack them,
disappear, and repeat until all the guarding guards were all battened down, now what's left was
the main 6 as Twilight and her friends attempted to transform the shadow king but only this
time a little ace up his hooves.

He disappeared as the element bearers were now in a centered locked position as he spawned a portal
below them instead of imprisoning them in a crystal prison as the main 6 falls to the lower portions of the castle.
Now it was a matter of time before the purple Alicorn known as Twilight teleports them back into the battlefield
as he rushes inside the throne room where Luna and Celestia charged as he was quick to beat down Luna
by using a weapon that the Overlord permitted to use ONLY! Against the Alicorn sisters. Luna was
imprisoned in the crystal cage leaving Celestia.

As the two had a very brutal fierce battle he used a nightmarish stare at her as she was now bending before him
in her nightmare, and because he can't savior the moment because of time wise and the fact that
if that was real it would certainly be his downfall. He used his scythe to slash her.

Or that was before his scythe was shot by a certain tan pony that happened to be named James.

"STAY OUT OF THIS YOU PEASENT!" Sombra shouted as James started opening fire.

Sombra charges at James and his oncoming wave of bullets, but it was no use as he was shot to death ending
the scenario.

The Overlord was impressed that Sombra made it was 94% of the scenario but not all the way but
now it was time to release AhuizotI, whose mind had been upgraded, to try it out starting with the hardest
level.

Sombra sat to the sidelines as cloud surrounded AhuizotI the scenario was to destroy Canterlot.
Now obviously because the fact that a entire city being destroyed by one is literally long
lets just say that AhuizotI did a no no on the whole city and it burned down and killed everyone.

The scenario ends with the Overlord clapping for once at what he witnessed as he excused AhuizotI
to continue the project as Sombra and Hiduras were shocked.

"Now lets try again but this time you and Hiduras will work together." Implied the Overlord.

"Yes my master." Sombra responded as Hiduras nodded starting the a scenario.

Tirek

Tirek was back in his cage now.. Brooding..

Now that he was once again defeated this time by the elements of harmony he surely thought he will never
be able to recover.. But the tanned one.. He had a punch.

As Tirek continued to think about these thoughts a recognizable portal opens up, stepping out was once again
the Overlord only instead of imprisoning Cerberus, he placed him to a temporary sleep.

The Overlord looked at Tirek with a grin as he got closer.

"You did a good job on showing the villians what a villian should show. Unfortunately you were defeated
but it seems by the looks of it, it's not your fault. Even I didn't expect the mane 6 to use the elements all
of a sudden.." The Overlord remarked.

"Indeed. They've cheated! They used those guys shooting at me and they cheated!" Tirek
ranted.

"Relax my friend, relax. You will get your revenge tenfold. But first. The matter of training would suffice
in helping our goals." The Overlord suggests.

"Yea.. Maybe I do need a little training." Tirek said.

"Very good and just for behaving your self, unlike the other villians who I grabbed from death who challenged me. You will gain some power to atleast be a little younger than.. Well that old wrinkly self."
The Overlord insulted.

Tirek wasn't happy on the remark but he ignored it as he was getting what he liked the sound of as
the Overlord formed a black ball of dark magic and floated it towards Tirek as he caught it and ate
it up.

Tirek grew atleast to his original size as he flexed his muscles he smashed the cage.

"Show me the way, master." Tirek said.

"Excellent.. Right this way, student." The Overlord smiled.

As Tirek entered the portal the Overlord says to himself.

"All according to plan.. And deal.." He smiled.

The darkness

As the two entered the world Tirek looked around with a disappointing face.

"What exactly is this place?" He asked.

"The land where a villian can train, take it to Sombra right there." The Overlord pointed as Sombra
is doing his last scenario until the grand final scenario to see what he had learned.

"impressive with Sombra I do say." The Overlord chuckled.

"Sombra? But he's a legend! How did he become loyal to you?!" Tirek exclaimed.

"A single disagreement, followed by violence, followed by simple and common understanding."
The Overlord explained.

"Huh. Who's that guy." Tirek pointed.

"That would be the one called Hiduras, he had the right mind just a stupid amount of it."
The Overlord expressed.

"But who is he?" Tirek asks.

"Meh just the former emperor of a empire called Phaedra, apparently had the west coast
of Equestria once." The Overlord explained.

"Huh. Well who's that one?" Tirek asks.

"That is AhuizotI, he was stupid, before I made him smart. Simple." The Overlord said.

"I see.. So are they my classmates?" Tirek asks.

"No, temporary allies. Think of it as a club that hates Twilight Sparkle and her friends." The Overlord
pointed out.

"Understandable.." Tirek said.

"Now then lemme see your problems. Oh.. Well isn't that.. Interesting.." The Overlord remarked.

"What?" Tirek asks.

"Apparently the only problem is the amount of magic. But of course there is little hints of you
being cocky but that can be worked on." The Overlord informed.

"Huh.. I did felt a little cocky but I don't understand about the amount of magic part?" Tirek wondered.

"It's most likely that because of the tree of Harmony at the highest point of power it could be enough
to even potentially destroy a planet if it wanted too but by the looks it's purpose says otherwise.
The magic part will be dealt with already but the cockiness could use some work on being repelled."
The Overlord Explained.

"So.. Where do I start then?" Tirek asks.

"Start scenario 021. It will leave what you left off." The Overlord tested.

The scenario started at where Tirek left off as he was fighting against James only this time he knew what'
to do as Tirek instead of punching him, he entirely kills James all together which enraged Twilight
in the process as it seemed to resume the battle but it seemed that in consequence the friends were
gone but now it seems the duel was lasting longer than expected as the two were continuing to fight
and fight and fight until finally the Overlord snapped his fingers.

The scenario ends as Tirek looked around. Before looking at the Overlord.

"So. *Panting* what's my score?" Tirek breathed.

"Unfortunately you did kill James.. But you haven't defeated Sparkle yet."

"Don't forget her friends." He smirked.

"Huh.. So you killed them too.. Well that would have made her feel more resolve
but it would inevitably be a eternal battle and thus no one wins in the end." The Overlord read.

"So in other words?" Tirek asks.

"No one wins." The Overlord stated.
"It seems the only problem with you and that battle itself was that you were both singularities,
and when the elements of Harmony came into play you were quickly defeated as if you were dust on the counter."

"Huh.. Interesting.. So what would that mean for me exactly?" Tirek asks.

"That would mean that you are both perfect.. But Imperfect. It's confusing even for me, your plan
seemed flawless, your strategy despite your cockiness also seemed flawless, it was only
that the elements stood in the way of the victory you wanted." The Overlord replied.

"In other words no matter what I'm just as strong as Twilight but those jewels?!" Tirek exclaimed.

"Basically yea.. Your just perfect. But of course Sombra is about to learn his final lesson.
It'd be nice if you like to watch him?" The Overlord offered.

"I think that will be splendid." Tirek smiled.

The two stood and watch Sombra played out his final scenario that will before the very last one will
play to finally test him and his abilities and his intelligence.

And the Overlord has a change plan after that for him..

reformation...

The final test was progressing well as expected. The Overlord looks at the progress that Sombra
had been going through in the last scenario, that he had learned from his new master.

The test however would be the final bone for Sombra to break before satisfying the Overlord.
But.. Sombra will find it would had satisfied the Overlord too much..

Sombra was in the Crystal empire, he had started to take point and obliterated the entire Royal brigade
without mercy.

With the guards down he made it inside, while this he grabbed the crystal heart and corrupted
it with the dark crystals.

However standing behind him was the usual group, the mane 6, Twilight mumbled about
friendship and how they will stop him once and for all but the thing is Sombra didn't
heard it.

Because he acted quickly before she could even say anything and caged her and her friends.

However a brigade of strange vehicles arrived and it looked like they can kill a pony as strong
as him. That is his old self that was.

He teleported inside the armored vehicles and terminated the crews inside, one by one
the remaining brigades retreated as the armor vehicles backed off and with the surviving
crews running for their lives.

Sombra smiled, while he can draft them to be his own soldiers he had other plans.

So drafting the royal guards he defeated with mind control helmets the troops stormed the castle
with the royal family and without saying anything the two were snuck behind by Sombra and
the Mind control devices was placed on their heads.

The ones named Cadence and Shining armor, tried to fight it but ultimately failed as they stood
still and stiff.

Sombra looked around his surroundings and saw no one else was challenging him so he
let out a evil laughter as a helicopter was behind him and blew up the wall.

However he knew what happened as he saw that same tan pony with the green uniform and the helmet.

Sombra studied this one, he apparently has control of the entire Equestrian army.. And killing
him would destabilize that army and Equestria would be left vulnerable.

So quickly he dodged the bullets that the Helicopter sprayed on him as he fired his mage,
somehow he burnt a back pack that got the tan pony concerned but without studying why,
he shoots the helicopter down with his magic and it was disabled and was crashing to the lower
bottom of the palace.

Looking down from the obliterated wall. The Helicopter was destroyed and James is dead.

The scenario ended, Sombra looked at the Overlord who had been watching but
so was Tirek as he was clapping.

"Bravo, don't know you, but bravo." Tirek remarked.

"Who's he?" Sombra asked.

"Tirek, didn't you know?" The Overlord reminded.

"Oh.. Him. That's Tirek?"

The Overlord rolled his eyes annoyingly before speaking.

"Well I guess while you don't know your fellow classmates. It's nice that you have finally passed that
test.. But.."

"But what?"

"But unfortunately, there is one last thing you must do in order to achieve reformulation."

"Reformulation? What's that.." Sombra asked.

"A reward, lets just say if you do this one thing then you will earn it." The Overlord smiled.

Sombra looked at the Overlord. He seemed to be smiling for once but... Not in a good way as always
when he smiles..

"What is it then?" Sombra asked.

"I like you to reconfigure and recruit to our cause so that we may have one more atleast to give
a convincing speech or something in the lines of a little reminder about mercy." The Overlord
Smiled.

"MERCY?! But you told me that we shouldn't give mercy!" Sombra said.

"Unfortunately for once.. I may have done that a little wrong, or then again I feel merciful today,
it's one of those things that you feel like taking out your anger on everyone you see in your
sights and then again want to just threaten them at the same time. If you get what I mean?"
The Overlord simplified.

"Also we need a spy." He finished.

"I guess so.. But who am I recruiting?" Sombra asked.

The Overlord smiled and turned backside to Sombra.

"Hope."

It was the barren wastelands, Radiant Hope continued a journey to the land of Tartarus.
Her objective was to find the Umbrum's protector and defender Sombra.

Sombra was her life time friend. And when she told Celestia and Luna about Sombra's reign in the Crystal
city she was deeply saddened when she heard about her friend banishing the entire city.

But.. There was something else more than what was let on when Celestia told her..

But when she met the Umbrum they chose Sombra to defend them from the outside, their champion!
And savior! And she wasn't going to let them defend by themselves nor is she going to let them
be trapped forever in a crystal.

So as she continued on through the snow a black cloud of shadows formed right in front of her.

She stood her ground but in a curious and wondering face.

"Sombra??" She said.

Finally the black figure formed, it wasn't Sombra and didn't look like a Umbrum.

"Hello.... Radiant Hope." The Overlord greeted.

"W-who are you!" She trembled.

"Be not afraid, I am your savior and I have to say. You had a great plan you cooked up here."
The Overlord chuckled.

"You mean about the-"

"Umbrum? Well of course what else wouldn't I talk about other than my pets."
The Overlord smiled.

"Pets..?"

"Yes, the Umbrum may look adorable and harmless in your eyes, but when magic is shown they are
formed into their own true forms. But don't fear they just can't stand the peaceful magic, and they
themselves tend to stay peaceful. Most of the time atleast.." The Overlord explained.

"But.. They seemed so nice.. But who are you really? And why did you come to me?!" Hope asked.

"Hehehe. Maybe, repeat that question to someone else." The Overlord chuckled.

He brings in the one she had been trying to restore for all the years she had been wondering around
for. He brought her Sombra.

"I believed you two have met before." The Overlord assumed.

Sombra was a bit grumpy, but atleast he was with somepony he was closely near to.

"Sombra!" Radiant hugged him, a unexpected move that made the Overlord
turn around and gagged himself in disgust.

"You betrayed me." He said, Hope released him.

"I didn't know what to do! It's been a long time and when I learned about what happened I
didn't know you would do something to a city!" Hope said.

The Overlord rolled his eyes, and then got the hitch that was probably already guessed.

"Does this new information on the day he was banished happened to include that?" The Overlord
asked.

"B-BANISHED?!"

"Huh. So it's true they lied to you maybe this element might remind you of what happened."
The Overlord hovered the Alicorn amulet over Radiant's face and flashed her.

As she was now given what truly happened Sombra looked at him in angered confusion.

"Why do you want to recruit her as a spy? Why can't she come with us!" Sombra asked.

"Because, while she has a plan to save my pets that I could release myself, It doesn't account her
to be a villian enough. You on the other hand was chosen first because of a image that all
villians can follow through." The Overlord explained.

"But why? Why can't she?" He asked.

"She's not a villian, but she does make perfect use for a spy atleast." The Overlord grinned.

"But if she gets caught?" Sombra asked.

"Then I will take her in, until then she will be perfect to see what is going on while we prepare."
The Overlord crossed his arms as the Amulet finished showing Hope the things that truly
happened to Sombra..

And she seemed devastated.

"They really banished you.. They banished you underneath.. And without provocation either!"

Sombra looked at the Overlord profoundly and the Overlord replied.

"Atleast now you understand why I came to you, Sombra had told me a lot in between his training
sessions."

"Training..? But what are you training for?" Hope asked.

"A rebbellion, we will overthrow Celestia and everyone else who oppressed the ponies that had been
lied to their entire lives. And then after that. We will make it all perfect once again." The Overlord
lied.

Hope looked at Sombra, she was guilty with what Celestia had done to her friend. And lying to her?
This was a outrage and she didn't stand for it anymore. She looked at the Overlord determinedly
and asked.

"What could I do to get thing's straight." Hope asked.

The Overlord smiled.

"Sombra, would you like to tell her?"

Sombra looked at Hope, he's worried for once but that's because she is his only friend he had gotten in
this world.

"You can.. Spy on the high ranking leaders of Equestria, my friend and master, the Overlord,
will take you to your first target." Sombra said.

"Who do I spy on then?" Hope asked.

"Twilight Sparkle." The Overlord replied. "Twilight Sparkle is a thorn in my side,
for ages the villians had tried to take Equestria and she and her friends had stopped them, that's why with you
spying on her I can write down and memorize her weaknesses, your eyes will be mine just so you know."
The Overlord explained.

"I will do it then.. And. Sombra, I'm sorry about what I did. I never wanted you banished I didn't
know that they were eager to banish you! But I see now.. Their true nature towards the kingdom.
And maybe, we can finally pick up the pieces of Mi amore and tell her and.. Apologize. I guess I should
start goi-"

"Hope, you were my best friend when other ponies then never saw my potential, but
now I have been unblinded because of his will and together when this is all over.
We can finally rule together as we were suppose to be." Sombra smiled.

The Overlord was a bit cringy watching it, when he sense love between them like.
Love love he had to put to stop of it now.

"Alright we get the point you two are 'best' friends, Hope in my words good luck. And put that
brown hood of yours on when I teleport you to Ponyville." The Overlord said.

"But what about the Umbrum though? Who's gonna protect them?" She asked
despite that she was told they were a bit edgy when there is magic present.

"Oh don't worry, I will make sure they are protected. Now good luck Radiant Hope." The Overlord
waved.

She was teleported out of their sights as the Overlord teleported himself and Sombra back to
the darkness.

It was time....

As Sombra looked at the plain fields of darkness he now wondered... Was she in love
with a monster?

The Overlord heard his thoughts to be annoying but satisfied.

"Sombra, it's time for the reformulation. Or in words, your great reward." The Overlord
smiled.

"I'm ready." Sombra said.

The Overlord teleported everyone in the lands as they watched Sombra with their voices
muted by the Overlord he raised his shadowy arm.

and hovered his palm infront of Sombra's face.

At a moment nothing happened before waves of darkness swarmed over the recruited villians as
veins of darkness entered Sombra's body, this reformulation. It was a transformation.

Sombra's armor was shattered and replaced with a green one, his horn was shattered to a new
sharp dark colored one, his robe was well still the same. But his mane instead of it being
pure black was now streamed red right, left, and in the middle. His tail stayed black.
His crown was silver to red.

Finally the transformation ended in a new face of evil. As it gave birth to a new villian in
physical form while keeping his mind in a mental shape. Sombra physically but not mentally.

Was dead. And now arise a new villian. Same but reformed, reborned, and transformed.
As he landed on the shadowy ground he got up with his head down as if he was bowing to
the Overlord.

The Overlord smiled and finally commanded.

"Rise. In the name of darkness, true emperor of the Crystal empire, I rename you...
Skiá..."

Skia, raised in the name of his new master's upon his new name as Tirek asked in the background
after being unmuted.

"How do you feel?"

Skia looked and grinned..

"Perfect..."

As she teleported to Ponyville she looked at the corners and quickly head in the bushes,
it was daytime and she can hear a voice?

A voice of betrayal as a Tan pony who seemed to been have heart broken ran from the castle..

It seemed the Tan pony was the one who happened to shout from the castle..

The Tan pony ran into the forest as the purple one ran after the tan pony.

Was this tan pony a bad guy? No that couldn't be because the purple pony would
have a face of anger.

Wait a minute that was Twilight Sparkle. She would say to herself.

So knowing that Twilight, her target, was in the area Hope said to herself.

"Gotcha."

Prelude

Overlord.... The absent villian of darkness. Former ally of Grogar and the unknown Wielder that is 1 of the 5.

His story beginned when emperor Grogar was defeated by the unknown warrior Gusty the great who in turn saw
that there was only one potential threat in Equestria that continues to roam to this day.. And thus begin the legend
of the Overlord.

The Overlord is a shadow figure, red eyes, a cap, and a wrinkly yet middle aged face. And Intelligent.
As the ponies and pioneers of old would say that he is a descendent of Grogar, some say he's the ruler
of the dark realm that had came to take vengeance on what's soon to be the rulers of Equestria.
While some say he is judgement..

But all may have different views then can atleast say one thing. And that is he's mysterious.

But those were the old times.. As this type of legend was forgotten just like Grogar..
All except for the princesses.

It was when James arrived was when the Overlord decided to form as Whats to be a wielder.
It was James unstable mind that brought the Overlord into being in the first place as the portal created by
Helenski had made the mind so unstable it wasn't that hard for the Overlord to enter it..

When the Overlord settled in the mind it was immediate chaos.. Obviously the wielders went nuts for a good
while.. Such as; Territory, space, and even a place to mediate.

Of course when the second war of the mind came into reality that two kept on fighting it was...
Enjoyable for the most part. But obviously he was one of the Wielders that sit this one out as the whole thing was
just a waste of time and yet... That fateful time when the Princesses had came to the mind. Nice meeting
in fact it became a good peace for a great amount of a while.

But it was either way a nice waste of time. However the intelligence kicked in as he starts hijacking messages of how great and powerful he is but in the end he needed to prepare to show it and looking into the future despite that James had only seen the episodes up to the Magical mystery cure it can look what outcome it is..

Of course this will work while inside the mind but he realizes that once he is out of this dammed souls mind then he will lose the ability to see through the future..

One day he looked at the future in a way that he didn't like.. Obviously it came to be that the villians even despite allied where... Disorganized.. But it wasn't Disorganization that was the problem..

For history great villians, tyrants, and even madman's had the same downfall.. And that downfall was
Ambition and impatient's..

The simple ingredients of a downfall it was and seeing through the future that was what brought to it..
But while the Overlord has one ambition he has a goal..

A eradication of Harmony, divide Friendship, Destruction of global peace, and create a total Hierarchical like never before.

And to do that he needs workers.. Not just workers hehehe... A legion. A legion to do the bidding and to destroy those who would dare oppose. A legion of some NO! ALL! VILLIANS SHALL RISE UP AND TAKE THEIR PLACES TO BE THE GREAT
OF THE GREAT! THE GREATEST OF THE GREATER! THE ULTIMATE OF THE ALL!!!

But to do that... He needs to recruit for his legion. And that was when he see's his first.

A battle that happened to occur in the crystal empire. Sombra tried to break in and steal the Crystal heart however..
Thanks to his body vehicle James he fired a tank shell at the crystals that Sombra tried to use to get that dammed
heart off of that purple dragons claws.. Damn human! Ruins everything!

But that's to say.. The Overlord sees that a new friend is in need... Sombra was too impatient.. And the future tells he is even cocky.. To cocky to say the least.. The Idiocy.. But he can be reformed.. Maybe trained if he's willing.

So using his power he takes Sombra out of that disgusting world and takes him into a beautiful land scape
of darkness..

But of course the Shadow king awakened as he looked around.

"Were am I.. WERE AM I!" Demanded Sombra

"Paradise my friend.." Said The Overlord...

Sombra turned as he saw the Overlord a form that Sombra had never seen before in a form
of pitch black evil and Sombra felt it's aura tearing into him.

"Who Are you! I demand I know!" Commanded Sombra.

The Overlord chuckled at the delight of fear from a fear shadow... The Irony of it all but ,Sombra looked at
him in a tense look before the figure spoke again.

"Do you Like revenge... Sombra?"

And so begins the Collection of the villians of the Overlords work..

The creation of the Legion to be the final front of Equestria's heroes and the destruction of friendship in a single'
bundle of all villians ever known.. The Overlord calls it...

The Reaper Legion....

Author's Note

And So.... It begins...

Sombra

"WELL!? I DEMAND TO KNOW! WHO ARE YOU!" Demanded yet again from Sombra.

The Overlord was eying at him at his frustration but a Introduction is formally needed to continue the stepping
stones. A salutations is in order. But that can wait.

"I guess you can recall.. You see, looking at everything in the future you are destined to fall once again.."

"Fall again? But why take me here in this.. DESOLATE WORLD! Though it is my style of world if I have to say..
But there is nothing to conquer!" Exclaimed Sombra.

The Overlord snapped his fingers as everything was as it was and Sombra jumped into conquering..
He loved the sounds of the terrorized ponies and so he started were he left off of his rampage he attempted
to grab the crystal heart from.. That Alicorn.. But it failed! She placed it in between the Crystals and they levitated
the heart and now in its glory it blasts it's power to the outer reaches, the crystal ponies, Equestrians all alike in
friendship and good will where crystalized. Were as Sombra he was disintegrated as he shut his eyes..
He noticed something odd.. He looks around and everything was paused.. As if..

"Hehehe." Chuckled Overlord.

"YOU TRICKED ME!" Disgruntled Sombra.

"Maybe so but atleast it wasn't real. Or atleast was before I took you out
of that situation." Said Overlord.

"But.. What was that! Some type of projection magic?!"

"Ehh.. Like that yes."

"But.. That's for those who.. Knows the future... Impossible.."

"Finally! Your catching on, gold star for you. Anyways that was your fate and if I didn't came to save your shadow horse ass you would have been obliterated if not banished." Informed Overlord.

"Then what abou-"

"The second time? Don't get me started. Same action, a little smart. But same fate. It's clear that you have a problem of Impatience and ambition." Described Overlord.

Sombra was looking at the paused projection so if this guy was a future seeker that would mean that he has possession
of dark power possibly 100 times more than he, if not more powerful than Grogar, comparing the figure with the
paused vision it's clear that no matter what he does he was destined to be defeated.. Just like he says! Unless..
He looked at the Overlord who had his shadowy arms crossed tapping his feet while imitating himself looking at a invisible watch waiting for Sombra's response. Finally it came.

"What must I do.."

It was clear that with Sombra's loyalty the Overlord would start Sombra's training. The first course was the patience
training. It was where Sombra had to stare at his empire that was ready for the grab open wide and in wait.
It was a scenario where while the ponies were fearing on about Sombra's return , Sombra never attacked the ponies and he
was to wait until the shield was down. The more he would wait the more that the ponies would be slow and
the shields would be down. And because of Cadence being restless it would crumble down at the sound
when the Overlord says strike. Finally it came when the Overlord says.

"Strike."

Immediately Sombra charges at the gate but by the rate of the speed it was too slow and when he did reach
the dropped shield was brought back up and the scenario paused.

"It seems not only Ambition was in the way but you are being too patient and slow."

"B-but you sai-"

"Did I mention that the perfect level of patience is actually getting prepared? Put that into consideration
or you might as well be cooked." Said the Overlord.

Sombra sighed as he then responds.

"As you wish.."

The next Training phase was now to keep down the pesky Ambition. It is good to have ambitions but if too much, it can blind you to make a cocky move to the point of death. The scenario played to have set when Sombra was going for
spike. Sombra see's it as easy and so looking at the Alicorn it was obvious that she was the target.. That was
before a tank shell destroyed the crystal he was riding as he landed right in front of the tank scenario paused.

"W-WHAT!"

"I know surprising as this is I don't think that was never suppose to happen. But then again so would have this meeting.. I'll give you a D on that."

"Wait.. What do you mea-"

"MOVING ON!"

A new Scenario plays only this time it was the same one. Sombra sees what he needed to do so as he waited
taking Overlords consideration he waited.. And waited.. And waited until the shield was down and he charged
at it but the scenario stops.

"What did I do this time!" Contemplated Sombra.

Overlord at this point was sitting on a dark chair reading a newspaper drinking tea.

"Oh you didn't hear me say strike." Said Overlord as he took a sip in his drink again.

The shadow king has never been so humiliated, first he's brought here, second he's just repeating his defeats
over and over. And now this guy, this creature, is insulting him! And that was the last straw.
Sombra grabbed out a scythe and attempted to cut the Overlord in half in a quick and swift death.
He slices the Overlord in half but.. That wasn't the Overlord. Sombra looked around the dark void.

"WHERE ARE YOU!" He shouted.

"Your impatience and your ambitions clearly blinds you." Echoed Overlord as he revealed himself.

Sombra swiftly charges at the Overlord with his levitating weapon as he slices him in half again.
Again that wasn't him as he continues to hear the laughter.

"You think that you can defeat me without a plan?"

"SHOW YOURSELF! I WILL CUT YOU IN HALF AND FINISH YOU MYSELF!"

"So be it." Revealed Overlord.

The two were now at a stand off Sombra ready to kill him and the Overlord just sitting there wide opened.
And that moment blinded by rage and insult Sombra charged at the Overlord without a single reconsideration.

The Overlord stepped to the side revealing a wall as Sombra slams head first into it breaking some of his teeth
as the Overlord grabbed his scythe and broke it in two halves, he then goes on to beat the living hell out
of Sombra as he is thrown to the air and beaten left, right, everywhere. Finally Sombra was beaten in the most
brutal way that he never experienced at all. The pain was excruciating it was like that this being that tried
to teach him was unleashing the total wrath of revenge on him. Sombra was a fucking Punching bag.

And yet so précised that when Sombra tried to dodge it while mid air Overlord made his quick plan and executed
it and now leaving Sombra with a broken spine..

Finally the Overlord was finished giving out the punches and Sombra was at the brink of death..
But the Overlord needed him alive. As the two looked at each other the Overlord catched his breath and healed
Sombra with the orb of darkness. Sombra was skeptical at first when this dark orb showed up in front of him
but as the Overlord waved his finger in assurance Sombra grabbed the Orb and it did it's dark magic.

Sombra was now.. Healed.. From the injuries he just received from this figure it was clear that the figure
was truly worth to call a master..

"So. Had enough?" Asked the Overlord at the weak yet healed Sombra.

Sombra was now a little hesitant.. Never had he ever had a brutal beating just as that for the first time
but in understanding through the will of the figure, it had wrath that was yet to be unleashed on the lands of
his enemies.

"Indeed... I will summit.."

A day later in the void of darkness Sombra kept calling him figure in which the overlord was getting a bit
impatient with that name but that was when Sombra asked..

"Grrr I don't understand who you are and why you want me? And why are you interested in
gathering every villians in this world?" Asked Sombra.

"Not every villian my friend. It's simple.. Observe. And wait."

Sombra was now aggravated. Ever since his defeat in the Crystal city and humiliation of the battle he just had with the Overlord he was promised vengeance but clearly this promise was probably a excuse to keep him in this void.
Was this punishment? To be awaiting something that will probably never come? Or is it simply
a waiting game?

"When do we attack then?" Asked Sombra..

The Overlord smiled as he happily responded.

"When almost all villians known to pony kind are defeated then you shall know." Said the Shadow.

"I.. See.. What do I call you until the times?" Asked Sombra.

"Overlord." Introduced himself..

"What a interesting name.. Overlord of what exactly?" Asked Sombra before he was given a weird
subtle finger point at nothing.. But it sent the message clearly that he was...

"The Overlord of Darkness."

Two days passed and the black void was perfect.. A perfect space for Sombra. He trained on and on as he would
have scenarios be created including unlimited possibilities of him losing and not losing
all set by the Overlord himself as the Shadow lord looked at the Dark King he wondered
how much brutality will he be using to get to his way of defeating in his way. He learned a lot about the Overlords
recent lessons he was taught on about patience, ambition control, and even planning.

And most of importantly, will he and the soon to be other villians that the Overlord will be recruiting
be loyal? Surely Chrysalis may persuade half of the soon to be legion against him if she was recruited of course
but then again.. He will show her eventually but for now she is not yet here and overthrowned. (Not yet atleast)

The Overlord saw Sombra with great pride as he finally made it through that imbecilic shadowy
skull that in order to win battle is through what villians should have done. And that was like I said.

Patience, controlled ambition, and planning. But the most important of all.

Teamwork.. Makes the dreamwork. Or whatever that crap saying goes anyways.

The Overlord was impressed when Sombra won against the Main 6 in the scenario that was hardest.
But best of all Sombra was nearly prepared but time will tell.

"I see that your skills improved well." Said Overlord.

"It has Indeed, while I do enjoy the darkness, when do we strike?" Asked Sombra for like the one thousandth time..

"It will come when it'll come. I sense impatience." Said Overlord.

"And?" Responded Sombra.

"It's still weakness.. A weakness that had plagued many and it resulted in their downfall.. You must
continue to learn that even a single inch of impatient's is what would come to a demise."

"How does that work? To have only a tiny amount of Impatience?!" Questioned Sombra.

"Remember how you are here in the first place. Think back on both your lesson and when you
tried to reclaim your righteous empire!" Instructed Overlord.

Sombra decided to take up on that and he thought.. He's right.. It was clear that when he tried
to reclaimed his rightful empire.. Instead of waiting for a opportunity to open up it before being teleported here
became clear that with the smallest impatient's that was a eager to reclaim it's prize he should have thought sooner
but it was clear he was dumb minded and he admitted it in his mind.. So this Overlord is like Grogar..
Maybe it is Grogar.. Or some other evil shadow that's prepping him and others he never knew for a
coming.. A ascension so great that it makes everything that oppose flattened and killed..

"I see..." Said Sombra.

"Let us continue your training shall we? I want you to lift your entire body with your one hoof
understood?" Ordered Overlord.

Sombra nodded, "Very well." Responded Sombra.

Sombra got into the position and lifted himself with one hoof for half a hour.

After that the Overlord sensed that something is going to happen drastically.

"You will continue your training until I get back for now try completing scenario 54."

"As you wish."

Author's Note

And thus Sombra commits his allegiance to his new master.

The Acquiring of the Alicorn Amulet

Author's Note

Not much of a chapter lol.

The Acquiring of the Alicorn Amulet

During the events going down in Identity thief...

The Overlord was thinking to himself about the amulet, the power that he wielded once.

A long time ago during the post Grogar defeat.

The Overlord used the Alicorn Amulet once as a way to keep order of the remaining loyalist
to Grogar's reign.

One problem was that the Amulet was lost when a pack of Timberwolf's decided to steal the amulet and
stored it somewhere else.

However it came without consequence that the amulet was recovered by locals who apparently gave it
to a unicorn which was corrupted by the Alicorn Amulets magic and in turn became a Alicorn himself
before it was finally removed with clever thinking by the one named Star.

When the Amulet was removed Star had advised that the unicorn be taken care of comfortably
while the amulet was to be stored.

Ever since that incident the Overlord had went into hiding..

Until today, he had for ages looked for the amulet and now he had found it to be in James
base under his own nose or shadow bump or something like that.

Anyways as the Overlord studied the amulet it was legit his.

And now he wants it back...

The acquiring.

The portal opened up as he stepped out, seemed to be in storage and apparently has no guards
around it but that was because they are outside of the room.

"Idiots.." The Overlord said as he swiped the Amulet from it's stand and then reentered the portal.

Well that was easy :P

As the Overlord reentered his preferred world he grabs AhuizotI who seemed to be pouring something
into something else, he seemed aggravated.

"Why did you bring me." AhuizotI asked.

The Overlord shows him the Alicorn Amulet to him which shocked him into a surprise.

"B-b-but HOW!?" He asked.

"Lets just say I swiped it in a disclosed room, now this is what I need you to do. I need you
to study tis amulet by every ounce until it can't be studied anymore." The Overlord requested.

"Wait you want me to study it? IT'S A HONOR!" AhuizotI Excitedly said.

"Good then if you need me I'll be overseeing Sombra's scenario's, he seems to be improving every time." The Overlord complemented.

"He is.. Is he? Well anyways time to study now." AhuizotI said.

"Keep me posted on the Amulet. I like to discover the wonders of what this thing should have given me
during my warlord period." The Overlord says as he floated away to the Dark filled lands.

As he floated around he sat down wondering on the things that may come to pass.

Finally a projection appears that shows Tirek sitting in the cage as the Overlord stood up looking at him in
a grin.

"Perfect.."
