Discord goes on a rampage taking the power from other villains, to become THE best villain.

The six ponies have used their elements against Discord, weakening him substantially. Discord didn't understand, as he thought he was the best villain, only for Twilight to explain that just because he's powerful, doesn't mean he's the best. Discord then comes to the conclusion that if he had the power of every villain in Equestria, then that means he would be the best......

And Twilight knows Discord likes to take things very literally........

In case you couldn't tell, this fic is based off of the TAWOG episode "the one". Which is one of my favorite episodes. :)

"There can be only one villain"

The six ponies stood before the lord of chaos sitting on his throne of pandemonium, scowling intently as they charged their elements.

"Give up ponies! You stand before the spirit of chaos and disharmony, my destruction knows no bounds."

"But we wield the spiritual opposite of the concept you represent, and harmony always beats chaos." Twilight threatened.

"That's not how that works! Haven't you ever played rock, paper, scissors?" Discord whined.

"Yes, and paper beats rock." Twilight smugly stated as she held her hoof out, while Discord noticed his eagle claw clutching.

"No fair!" He pouted, as the ponies charged their elements.

They fired a giant rainbow that blasted Discord, removing his magic and restoring Equestria to its original harmonic state.

As Discord fell to the ground weakened, the ponies stood before him glaring in disappointment.

"This isn't fair! I'm the most powerful villain! How could I lose to mere mortals?!"

"Just because you are the most powerful doesn't mean you are the best, we were able to beat you because you still had weaknesses of over confidence and arrogance that we could exploit." Twilight explained to her adversary.

"So..... What you're saying is, if all those other villains were gone, then I would be the best?"

"I guess if you put it that way....."

"I see...... Well, I have been defeated. you won, I lost, fair and square. I surrender, I am going to see myself out and not threaten Equestria ever again, ta ta fellas."

As he took his leave from Ponyville, the other ponies stared at Twilight with doubt in their minds.

"Something tells me he didn't understand what you meant......" RD stated to the purple bookworm.

"Ahh, I'm sure it's fine Dash, what's the worse that could happen?" Twilight asked.....

Everything, that is the answer........

Later.......

Lord Tirek stood in an ally way after draining a pony of his magic, getting more powerful....

He then spotted a gray unicorn standing near the corner, signaling him to follow him.

Tirek, nodding his head, followed the pony, making sure to keep his hood up so nopony spots him and alerts the Canterlot authorities.

After walking a couple meters from the ally, he made it to the secluded area where he was supposed to meet.....

He turned around to see the grey unicorn, as Discord unzipped his pony disguise.

"Alright I don't got all day, what is it your selling exactly?" Tirek asked the Draconequus.

"Just a little gift, from me, to you...." Discord said ominously......

As he then pulled out a comically large pencil that took a couple seconds to get out of the purse exactly....

After a couple seconds, he managed to get it out, and point it at Tirek with the erasure end.....

"Yeah I'm not really in the mood for a pen, I thought you were selling discount purses."

"No, there can be only one....."

"One purse?"

"No, ONE VILLAIN!!!!!" Discord screamed, as he slashed the erasure at the Centaur, who ducked.

Tirek then tried to run away from his tormentor, throwing pots of flower and pieces of wood to slow him down and get away.

Discord merely dodged effortlessly as he kept slashing the erasure at the old fart.

Tirek then ultimately tried to absorb his magic, only to feel his own magic being taken away from him.....

"Bad idea....." Tirek groaned, as he fell to the ground unconscious.

"YES!!! Give me your evil!!! EVIL EMPOWERS ME!!!"

As Discord laughed maniacally, he begun to pull out an eighties guitar rift and play punk rock music.

Meanwhile.....

Nightmare Moon returned from her thousand year imprisonment, planning to bring eternal night to all of Equestria....

But when she gazed at the moon, she saw it formed into Discord's face, as it shot eyes beams at her.

As she fell unconscious, Discord absorbed her evil as he laughed wickedly.

Later.....

As King Sombra enslaved ponies of the crystal empire, he summoned a crystal near himself to admire his reflection....

However, his reflection soon turned into Discord's image, blowing a raspberry.

As Sombra gasped in confusion, the image reached through the crystal and flicked his nose, as he fell unconscious.

Discord then stepped out of the crystal and absorbed his evil laughing maniacally....

Later.....

The Storm King sat on his throne listening to eighties punk rock, as Discord hid behind his throne.....

He then took the staff of Sacanas and blasted him with it, as he absorbed his evil.

Tempest, noticing this, charged at the lord of chaos and threw an obsidian orb at the Draconequus.

But Discord merely pulled out a mirror, which reflected the orb off of him and onto Tempest, as she froze into obsidian.

Discord absorbed her evil laughing crazily.

Later.....

Chrysalis was in the middle of draining a poor pony of his love, until she felt something tapping her head.....

She stopped draining, and looked up. And saw Discord chewing on a heart while hanging on the celling.

"Mmm, I can see why you bugs like these hearts so much, very tasty."

He then threw the heart at Chrysalis's head, knocking her unconscious.

Discord dropped himself from the celling as he absorbed her evil laughing maniacally......

Later......

Starlight gave one of her speeches about equality and the danger of individuality to the ponies of "our town".

However, she saw the villagers laughing at her for some reason.

In confusion, she turned around, only to see devil horns drawn on the wall.

As she scowled in anger, Discord snuck up behind her and replaced her equal sign with that of his face.

As Starlight saw it and screamed in horror, the mark grew an arm and sucker punched her unconscious.

Discord, emerging from her flank, absorbed her evil laughing maniacally......

Later.........

The Pony Of Shadows was in the middle of absorbing power in the well of shade, until he suddenly felt pain sizzling through his body, as Discord aimed a giant spotlight atop his head.

"NO!!! NOT THE LIGHT!!! IT BURNS!!!!!" The shadow pony screamed in anguish, as he slowly collapsed to the ground.

Discord absorbed his evil while laughing maniacally.......

Later........

Twilight got up from her bed after hearing a knock on her door.....

She walked up to it and answered it......

"Princess Twilight, I have defeated all of Equestria's worst villains, and now I have come for YOU!!!"

As Discord made a scene in front of her, Twilight merely shut her door in his face.

"What's his deal?" Spike asked....

"The man's got issues Spike." Twilight merely stated, as they begun to walk away......

However, Discord merely phased through the door, as Twilight and Spike gasped in horror.

"Now that I have acquired the power of every villain, I AM NOW THE BEST!!!" Discord exclaimed, as he levitated a chair and threw it at Twilight, knocking her unconscious.

Discord laughed maniacally.

"No you're not!" Discord heard Spike exclaim, as he turned to him.

"You do not get 'evil' points for beating up random villains! And you didn't get their powers." The baby dragon revealed, as Discord thought back to when he "absorbed" their powers.

The scene merely showed Discord waving a pen at Tirek while screaming, as the Centaur stared in confusion.....

The scene then cut to show Discord "taking" King Sombra's power, as he merely waved his arms around as the king stared in bewilderment......

The scene then cut to show Discord beating The Storm King with his staff.

"Ow. Ow. Please, stop. Ow...." The king futilely begged.

The scene then cut to the present.......

"I..... guess I did cause a bit of a scene......" Discord lamented.....

Twilight then moved the chair out of the way as she got up.

"More like a HUGE scene. Discord, why did you feel like you needed to be "the best" villain anyway?"

"Well, you just never take me seriously.... And I wanted that to change....." Discord stated, as he glumly looked down at the floor in shame.....

"Discord, you're the lord of chaos, of course you won't be taken seriously. But that's not necessarily a bad thing, it's a part of who you are.... and you should embrace that....."

Discord gave it some thought......

"I guess you're right, I have a lot of apologizing to do....."

"And while you're at it, do you mind cleaning up the mess you made?"

"Yeah, the lord of chaos, cleaning up a mess. Like that's ever gonna-"

Twilight pulled out a mop as she stared sternly....

"Oh boy....."
