Evil Always Finds A Way

Awakening of Darkness

"Thousands of years ago, we were the top! We ruled the land with an iron fist! Pillaging and destroying anything we wished, bringing the land under the boot of our Overlords! The humans were enslaved, the elves were murdered, the dwarfs were our shoe shiners, and the gnomes made good golf balls! But sadly, our Overlords are mortal, and as such when they die many races revolted and made their pathetic kingdoms once again. We waited as usual for another Overlord to take back what is rightfully ours! This cycle continued for many generations.

"Until that wretched goddess ruined it all! Taking advantage of our Overlord's death, the only one that could defeat her, she then banished all the current sentient being to other dimensions, leaving us minions in the rock, with no more candidates for an Overlord! Now the land, is peaceful, with green fields and flocking bunnies, with the new ruling species to be horses. It's disgusting, it's all hideous! Those filthy horses believe themselves to be 'The first sentient species' ha, bunch of that human radish sauce they are! At least the gnomes are gone, probably burning in a abyss!"

"We minions delved deep into our home of the Netherworld, desperately trying to survive for what the Goddess did. Some of us went to look for anymore masters, some of us went to find anything to bring the humans back so we could have an Overlord, and some of us just stunk to the low hells so I just sent to off for the time being!"

"But now, we've found one! One of the humans the ugly female goddess tried to banish! Frozen deep in an icy prison. The Goddess tried to stop us, she tried to keep the land filled with her disgusting colorful creatures! But unfortunately for her, and all her attempts, she failed.

"Because Evil Always Finds A Way"

Deep down within the frozen wastelands of north Alicornia, a creature, bipedal, gray in color and hunched over while wearing a black coat with a lamp attached. Walked along a dugout up tunnel with four other creatures like itself, one with brown, skinny yet with muscle and yellow glowing eyes. Another was red, skinny as well, and had ram horns growing from the back of it's head. Yet another was blue, with fins growing out of it's head. And the last was green, and he smelled... a lot.

"So, you've found us one eh? A potential master?" The gray one said.

"Yes, yes! A masta for us!" The brown was yelled in response.

"I shall be the judge of that dimwit! Mmh... " The gray creature rubbed it's chin, looking through the glacier that held a frozen human child.

"We'll train the boy in the ways of darkness, cut him out of the Ice! And be careful! I don't want out last hope for evil ruined by your stupidity!"

The four creatures, along with a few addition brown ones. Cut around the boy in the ice, then lifted the frozen child onto a wagon before pulling it down a tunnel way, deeper, and deeper they went. Before they arrived at a giant underground complex, with lava spilling over edges, and a huge metal and obsidian tower in the middle of it all.

They brought the frozen child into a chamber, and lifted him off the wagon onto a steel circle.

"Fire up the Dragon!"

"Run!" A man cried out, before suddenly disappearing in a flash of light.

A nine year old human child ran as fast as his legs could carry him, all around other humans, family, friends, strangers, disappeared from existence. Human creations tumbled into ruins, buried into the earth. The land started to become colder and colder, and snow started to fall.

It was basically the end of the world.

The child slipped, and tumbled down into a nearby lake, unable to swim he sunk deeper into the dark freezing cold water...

The next thing he knew, he was in a warm, rocky, place. On a dusty, yet comfortable bed, being stared at by a goblin-like creature.

"A little scrawny and small, but we'll fix that. How are you feeling sire?" It asked him.

The boy opened his mouth to ask a question, but found himself unable to use his voice, his throat ached in dryness.

"Oh yes, sorry sire. Being frozen for so long must have given you quite the thirst. You!" He pointed at a brown creature. "Go get some water for the young master!"

"Yes, I get what masta needs!" The brown one yelled in excitement before running off.

The gray one turned to the boy, giving a mock bow. "Now sire, allow me to introduce myself. I am Gnarl, minion master, and devoted servant of darkness. You've been asleep for a very long time, I have to say, three thousand years since humanity disappeared."

The boys eyes widened in shock, since humanity disappeared!? Where did his kind go? What's been happening? What did happen? Why? And where exactly is he now? And what's a minion?

"You probably have a lot of questions sire, all which I will give you in time. Now where is that bag of pissed mutton!" Gnarl yelled in anger and annoyance.

Right on cue, the brown creature- minion, appeared with a bucket of water. It handed it over to the boy. "For you!" It said.

The boy drank, more like gulped, the water down. After a few minutes, all the water was gone. And the boy looked to the minion master.

"What happened to everyone?" He asked, he suddenly realized his voice seemed to be... darker, since he last recalled.

"That blasted Goddess happened that's what! Your kind mostly thinks gods and goddess protect you! Ha, the only thing they care about is their petty 'perfections'. The Goddess banished your kind from this realm, it's also her fault you've been frozen, now everything you knew and loved is dead and gone! Her colorful 'wonderious' 'fantastic' 'perfect' ponies now rule the land, spitting on everything that the other races worked hard on." Gnarl explained.

The boy, after realizing that his whole kind was gone, all his loved ones gone, cried. Gnarl saw this, and even through it disgusted him, he'll have to bear with it as the boy would need a proper, evil education.

"Sire, we can get them back! But we have to beat the goddess first for all she did! But in order to beat her we need to beat her creations, and in order to do that, we need a leader, we need a Overlord!"

"Me? But, I can't do all that!" The boy complained.

"Don't worry sire, I'll teach you the ropes, your grow strong, tall, and proud. I'll give you a proper evil upbringing. Then we can show those disgusting vermin horses who's top! Oh, pardon my manners sire, I never got your name." Gnarl said.

"My name... my name is... Discord, yeah, Discord is my name." Discord said.

The servant of darkness rubbed his hand against his chin, saying "Mmh, Discord... Chaos, disharmony, disorder, yes it's a perfect name for one such as yourself!" Gnarl went over to a box, and grabbed a steel metal gauntlet, with a yellow gem on that wrist part of it.

"Put this on sire, this is your minion gauntlet, it's standard armor for any Overlord or Overlord-in-training. Don't worry, the armor will adjust to your size." Discord put the gauntlet on his left arm. The gem glowed with dark, yellow, energy. And the Overlord-in-training felt a powerful surge of energy go through him.

"Now, follow me young master, there is much for you to learn." Gnarl walked through the door, Discord following him. The minion master stepped on a rock that was magically afloat. Discord stopped before stepping on it, unsure if it was safe.

"Don't worry master, it is perfectly safe for your magnificent." Trusting his word, Discord stepped on. The rock suddenly jerked forward, but Discord kept his balance.

'Good, good. Balance will help him in combat.' Gnarl thought as he looked toward the young Overlord-in-training.

When they arrived at the main tower, a giant obsidian construct in the middle of a sea of lava, sharp rocks protruding outward in a appearance of fear and darkness. Both Gnarl and Discord stepped off the rock transport, and following Gnarl, his made his way into a large corridor room.

"This is your throne room sire, sadly the Nether tower is in a sort of disrepair due to the earthquakes that happened with that blasted goddess reshaped the landscape. Now, that sire, is the throne seat itself, it does more than look evil. The seat is magically and will allow you to teleport anywhere you desire, so long as we got a Nethergate set up." Gnarl explained.

"Nethergate?" the young Overlord questioned.

"Ah yes, a Nethergate is a teleporter that uses tunnel networks Grubby builds. They all lead to this place, the Netherworld. The Nethergate can also heal you and restore your mana, or magical reserves if you wish to know. The Throne also informs you of recent news, and events." He turned toward another direction. "Follow me sire, we'll have to begin your lessons on controlling minions."

"Okay." Discord said, following the minion master down a staircase.

In a lighted open caved area, the minion master and young Overlord walked within. Gnarl stood over to the side, and looked out seeing a pack of large rats.

"Ugh, disgusting filth! But they will have to do. Master Discord, it's time you learn of your minions." He stood next to a burrow that spiked up from the brown, looking like a sort of mini black claw. "This is your minion gate, with it you can summon minions to do your bidding. Sadly, we only got browns, when you get older you'll have to find the other minion hives to have the other three."

"Browns?" The young Overlord questioned.

"Yes, sire. Browns are your main fighters, your frontal forces! They are very loyal and will do anything they can for you, even sacrifice themselves for your leisure. Browns are stupid, but they're smart enough to pick up any item to use it as a weapon, and will return anything of value to your majestic
figure." Gnarl Explained.

"Now to summon them out of this Brown gate, then point your gauntlet toward the gate, and will them out of it! Currently, since your a in-training Overlord, you can only have ten, unfortunately we only have five at the moment."

Discord raised his left arm, his gauntlet aimed toward the gate. And with a brief thought of summoning a minion, the minion appeared out of the gate. "For the masta!"

Once the young human Overlord had all five minions behind him. He looked to Gnarl for instruction.

"Your a natural, now see those sack of meat rats over there? Order your minions to attack them! You don't have to speak, you can think it to them. But sometimes, speaking commands in a dark, malicious voice, makes it sound all to evil."

Discord pointed toward them and commanded "Attack!" Instantly the minions charged towards the rats screaming.

"Yah!"
"For the masta!"
"For the Overlord!"
"Fur-balls die!"
"Rat legs!"

The brown minions beat on the rats, pummeling them with their wooden clubs until the rats were beaten to the ground, bloodied and dead as can be. Discord grinned, he was liking this, he felt so powerful! So great! So, evil! The minions then returned with white magical orbs in their hands, the orbs then transferred to his gauntlet making a feeling pass over him, which made him shiver.

"Don't worry sire, your get used to absorbing life-force, all Overlords do." Gnarl commented.

"Life-force?" Discord questioned.

"Life-force is the life energy of all living things, when an Overlord is near the life-force can be gathered to create more minions! More minions means more bashing! And some other things that you will learn. Life-force comes in four colors, just like there is four minion types. Brown for Browns, Blue for Blues, Green for Greens, and Red for Reds!"

Discord nodded and said. "What will we meet up in the new land up there?"

Gnarl replied "Well, we'll meet those flesh bag horses for sure! I believe there are four types of them! Earth ponies, Pegasus, and horned unicorn freaks! Then they is the worst, the 'Alicorn' which is all three of them combined! They are tougher but they mostly reside in the big cities, believing they are the 'top of the world'. We'll make them feel like the animals they are soon enough my lord! Oh, just saying all these things to you makes my heart have good ole bad joy! I can't wait until your older, the land will quake in fear once again!"

'Revenge against them all for what they did! I'll make them all pay!' Discord thought, righting his gauntlet's grip.

"Now, simply point toward the brown gate to put the minions back! Then we can start your own combat training, I believe we got a training ax around here somewhere."

"And so, our new Overlord and master was trained in the ways of darkness! And soon, when he reaches six-teen, we will show ourselves to the vile peaceful world and make them bow before us once again!"

After all, Evil always finds a way.

2: Starting of Evil

2: Starting of Evil

"Sire, evil truly suits you."

A dark, huge figure stood in the mist of the room. Brown minions swarmed him as they each put on a piece of steel armor. The armor gave a look of pure malice and horror, one it's sole reason was to strike fear into the hearts of all those who defied it's wearer. Skulls covered it's plating, indicating the wearer's control over the minions, and a red cape for bad looks. The shoulder blades actually looked like blades spiking outward, the gauntlets were shaped like claws of a monster with a yellow gem that shone will dark energy. Gripped in the figure's right gauntlet lied a huge, and terrifying steel battle ax, designed for balance in combat and a clean edge for chomping someone's head off.

Finally the helmet was placed on his head, it's design covering the figure's face with a cloud of darkness and it's spikes aiming upward giving it an appearance of a malicious crown. The huge figure opened it's eyes, revealing a dark glow of red, the sight of pure evil.

"All hail Discord, the Overlord!" The minion master Gnarl shouted.

Dozens upon dozens of Brown minions praised in joy.

"For the Overlord!"
"Hail the Masta!"
"Masta is back!"

The Jester minion skipped around Discord, then he stopped and said. "I think a little song would make this a horrid day!"

"Oh bother." Gnarl commented.

"A boy was found in Frozen Ice,
Three thousand years since his blight,
We minions took him and made him sway,
To evil's side he came way,
Now he is our great Overlord,
Who has tightened his grip on his sword,
And now that the boy is a man,
He will damn all those he can!"

"Sorry sire for listening to that, I'll be sure to beat on him for it." Gnarl said.

Discord smiled in his helmet, then he looked toward Gnarl for advise.

"Now it's time for you to bring back the black! To unleash the dogs of war! Hahaha, I feel the land quaking in fear already." Gnarl turned to the now Overlord Discord. "Now sire, sit upon your throne and feel the energy coursing through you!"

Discord stepped up the small staircase, each step resounding in a dark, metallic, thunk. He lied upon his throne, the dark energies coursing through him. The tower shook, and in the lands above, earthquakes appeared, ruins uncovered, ponies sought shelter, and all over Alicornia, every citizen thought a single thing.

'What is happening!?'

"Evil is back! And the lands of light shall fear your wrath! Nothing can stop an Overlord, delay them yes, but never prevent their birthright! It's your time master, Domination or Destruction of the Alicornia Kingdom!" The devoted servant of darkness shouted with glee, his hands turning to fist as she shouted it all.

Discord the Overlord, stepped through a tunnel and exited the cave. After a shine of blinding light, he reopened his eyes to see the landscape before him.

A lush land, filled with green grass and beautiful flowers, trees covering parts of the fields in all the right places, and a coursing river flowing through the land

"Hello, testing! Is this thing working? It's a bit dusty. Ah, there you are! As I told you before in your tutoring, your helmet allows me to speak with you. Ugh, this land gives me the frizzes, it's so colorful and lovely, it's disgusting! Try not to inhale it my lord.""

Discord snickered at his adviser's comment, he then spotted Grubby coming out of the ground with a newly built Brown gate. Waving Grubby off, Discord summoned fifth-teen Browns and started to explore the area. He and his minions walked through the sunny forest before finding a forest clearing full of cute fuzzy bunnies.

"Ach, fur-balled vermin! They breed like rats in a hole, but at least they smell better! Go ahead and take their life-force, they don't need it anyway!"

Following his advice, Discord raised his gauntlet toward the bunnies and willed his minions to take their life-force. The minions did just that, bashing the heads of the bunnies and stealing their vital life energy, returning it to their Overlord who absorbed it.

"What do you think your doing!" A strange creature, no wait, it's a pony. Galloped toward them with anger in her face and voice. "How could you do such a thing... What... What are you!?"

"It's one of those filthy horses, but she could prove valuable. Use your evil presence spell on her to subdue her onto your will! Then ask her about the area. Of course, you could always kill her, hehehe.""

"You belong to me now, I am your master." Discord said, striking his hand forward unleashed a torrent of dark blue energy into the head of the pony.

The pony bowed before him. "What is your bidding my master?"

"Tell me about the area." Discord commanded.

"Yes sire, this area belongs to the Alicornia Kingdom, it is majority a farming area, but a town named Stalie is nearby. Also sire, bands of red creatures similar to your brown ones have been rumored to live within the abandoned mineshaft."

"That would be the Reds sire! You'll have to find this mineshaft and bring their hive back to the Nether." Gnarl said.

Mentally agreeing with his minion master, Discord looked down at this pony, what to do with her... He felt the side of evil saying kill her, and his blasted good side saying to spar her, oh now he's got an idea.

"Go to this town of Stalie, spread the word of rebellion against the Alicornia Kingdom, use whatever lies to make sure you succeed." Discord said to the pony.

"It will be as you wish!" She yelled before galloping off.

"Oh, very evil sire! Planting the seeds of rebellion against the Kingdom, thus making our job easier when we- you conquer it and burn it to ashes!"

The Overlord moved through the forest, sweeping his minions through the that blocked his path. Occasionally, some of the minions found items they could use that were buried in the dirt. "That's mine!" The minion would say. Finally, Discord arrived at the farmlands, cattle, sheep, lots of plants covered the area. He spotted many ponies all many colors all around the fields.

"Sire, I advise you to retrieve the Reds, their flaming attacks could prove very using in decimating this place to dust and burning the corpses of those clopped up horses!"

Discord moved around the fields, carefully making sure he's not seen, for now. He spots a cave that's blocked off, and some abandoned mine carts sitting about. He sends his minions to bash some nearby crates and chest, and to look through the carts while he looks around the area.

"For the master!"
"For you!"

The minions returned with small bags of gold, that their Overlord absorbed into his gauntlet to later put into the treasury. Just before he could order his minions to smash open the barrier to the cave, he heard a small group of ponies walking toward them.

"More pony scum! Quick Master, hide your browns in the nearby plant-life, then take them by surprise!"

Discord moved his arm and pointed toward some bushes, directing his minions there.

"Taking position!" One of them yelled.

Three ponies appeared over the horizon, walking toward the abandoned mineshaft. Two were the same like the last one he faced, earth ponies. While another had a horn on it's head, and from Gnarl's lessons, he distinguished it as a unicorn. It didn't matter, for when they came closer, Discord unleashed the minions.

"CHARGE!"
"ATTACK!"
"DIE!"

"Ahhh!" One of the mares screamed, as she was overtaken and beaten to death by the brown minions. The stallion Earth pony tried to fight valiantly, but was also overtaken by the numerous and overpowering minions. The last, the unicorn, attempted to flee.

"Don't let her escape master! She'll warn the others!"

Discord suddenly stepped in front of the Unicorn, who looked up in absolute fear at the dark figure above him.

"What are you?" The unicorn asked, drops of green liquid ran down her leg.

"Your Overlord." Discord brought his axe upon the unicorn head, and blood spilled upon the grass, her blue life-force being absorbed into the Overlord's gauntlet. His minions returned to him with the others brown life-forces, and then he made his way into the Mineshaft, the smell of smoke reaching into his nostrils.

"Ah, the smoke, the magic, the carnage you recently issued! Oh it brings back so many memories!"

Discord followed the mine cart rails deeper into the shaft, the smell of smoke and molten rock increasing as he delved within, finally he stopped at another barricade that blocked his path. A sign attached to the wooden covering stated with big bold letters 'LAVA SURGE, TUNNEL CLOSED.'

Discord merely grunted in annoyance and sent his minions to bash it open.

"Bash, bash!"
"Destroy!"
The minions shouted as they begun their bashing.

Within a few bashes of minion strength, the barricade burst apart, revealing it's tunnel within. The Overlord recalled his minions with a resounding humming tune, and re-delved into the tunnel. But as he journeyed deeper, he spotted small lakes of lava, with the Reds he had been searching for on top of the rocks.

"Ah, the little burnienators! All ready to get to the incinerating! Follow them sire and retrieve their hive!"

Discord looked to his right to see Grubby come out of a newly finished small gate. "New minor Nethergate for the master!" Grubby yelled. His Overlord nodded in approval, before turning his attention to the Reds in front of him.

The Reds extinigused the flames blocking his pathway, which revealed a few red colored beetles. Their new Overlord instantly sweeped the minions to attacked the insects, each time one was killed a red life-force floated from it, in which was returned and collected. One giant red beetle came in view, and attacked, it jumped in the air while the Browns were attacking it and spit out flames, knocking some of them back and killing two. Discord took notice of this, and charged
himself bring his axe crushing down upon the insects head, outright murdering it with a big SPLAT.

Overlord Discord recalled his Brown minions to him and proceeded to follow the Reds. On the way he killed, murdered, splatted, destroyed, all that was red insects and mining crates that held weapons and some sort of armor for the minions. But then, he did something that no Overlord did before.

He spotted one of the minions drop it's previous farming scythe for a sword, but before the minion could leave it.

"Pick that up! We shall leave no potential weapons behind.."

"Oh, good idea milord! We can use the savaged weapons to equip newborns and also melt them for their raw materials! I'll add this to the Browns training regime."

They continued to journey through the mineshaft, and finally they found it, the Red Minion Hive. And with dozens of Reds dancing and praising their new-found Overlord. A confidante Brown and Red gate was in the area, Discord put some Browns back into the gate and summoned some Reds to carry the hive. The Overlord also spotted something that shined red and looked like some sort of totem.

"Ah, a Health Object, this particular object increases bodies physical resistance. Once you collect it and bring it back to the Netherworld, the object will channel some of the Nether's energies into your very being, making you, as they say, more 'super human'."

And so, with the Red Hive and Health Object in hold, the Overlord and his minions traveled back to the Minor Nethergate, but not before killing a couple dozen more red beetles. With the red beetles all killed, his total life-force for Reds counted up to seventy-five, with Browns being ninety-six.

The mighty, dark, Overlord stepped out of the Mineshaft once again. Behind him were eight Browns and seven Reds, he walked through the forest with minions in tow, step by step he finally came, back to view of the farms of the ponies, and in the distance, the town of Stalie.

Time to choose, Domination or Destruction, the very guide-ways of the Overlord.

3: Dark Domination of Stalie

Dark Domination of Stalie

The dark, malevolent Overlord stood on a hill top. He overlooked the farmlands and the town of Stalie in the distance. His left arm tightly griping his axe, and on his right, his minion gauntlet blazed with evil yellow energies. The minions behind him awaited his orders, eager to get to the destruction, suddenly, the sky began to darken.

The sun itself seem to bow before the newest Overlord, the sky behind him turned from the bright blue, to a deep red. It was time, the decision as been made. But of which, Domination, or Destruction?

The Overlord raised his minion gauntlet up to the sky, a hum resounding around him, making his minions raise their weapons in readiness, he looked toward the land of the ponies, and said one, dark thing.

"Dominate." And the choice, was, made.

His evilness, the Overlord, walked into the fields of the ponies. It wasn't long before he pointed to two areas, and separated his minions into two groups. Each group having a disgination, one being the fear-makers, and the other being the enslavers. The fear-makers were to, of course, spread fear into the populace's hearts, and the enslavers were to capture and chain civilians.

"What are those things!" A pony named Sun Shiner screamed.

Out of nowhere, creatures unlike ever seen before appeared. The red ones burned the corps, the browns runs smashed crates, and not only that, they were in groups! Sun Shiner saw her friends get beaten and tied in ropes, she ran for her life, toward the town of Stalie, but was unable too.

For she herself was attacked. Two of the brown creatures jumped on her back like a ride, they put their weight upon her which slowed her down. Soon, they somehow got a rope and tied it around her neck, they then jumped off and dragged her upon the very dirt she cared for. She begun crying, how could the Alicornia Kingdom let something like this happen to them? They were promised protection against the creatures of the forest! Why not these... these... things!

Then she saw him, it, she didn't know what that thing was. But it was so dark, suited with metal that made her want to shrink before him. A giant axe, of some unknown make, was within the claws of the evil being. She trembled in fear as her hooves were tied in rope and she was dragged away from the being. But even as she was dragged, she could still see the tall creature in her mind, his malicious eyes still staring into her very soul.

She knew she was doomed, they were all doom. How could even the Alicorns stand tall against something so full of such malice?

The farmland was easy, it almost seemed like a stroll in the forest. There were barely no unicorns or Alicorns, or even pegesi, it was mostly all comprised of these... Earth ponies. But there was a plus, he now had slaves to do his bidding, whether forceful or not.

He looked toward the town, a few had escaped there, and no doubt the town would prepare for his arrival. Now that was gonna be a challenge, he would need to think. From the distance, the town was surrounded by wooden walls, and even through he could burn it down, he doubted it would burn fast enough. Perhaps, a little ingenuity would be good?

While he was thinking of this, one of the Earth pony stallions got out of his ropes and charged him.

Or at least, attempted.

Discord easily heard his charging hoof-steps coming toward him, he turned toward the pony, and his gauntlet made connection with the Stallion's neck. All the prisoners looked on to him, and the minions as well. Perhaps, a demonstration of rule is appropriate?

The mighty Overlord Discord raised the stallion from the ground, choking the 'poor' thing from the air, the stallion tried to claw at his neck to pry his hand off.

*CRACK*

The stallion fell to the ground, stone dead. His neck broken and at a unnatural angle, the prisoner- slaves, whimpered as they were too afraid to even scream. To add to this fear, the Overlord commented on the dead pony.

"He should of known his place, like the slave he is."

The slaves whimpering only increased, some had now given up all hope. The Overlord, to them, was unstoppable.

"Oh the carnage, the blood, the screams and whimpers, domination was a fine choice sire! Now that you have these pathetic and simple-minded slaves, you must decide what to do with them.

Discord looked toward the town walls once again, he returned his gaze toward the slaves, then back to the Stalie, a evil grin appeared inside his helmet. He turned his dark figure towards the slaves, looked toward one of the only ones glaring back at him angerly. The Overlord tooked steps toward the particular pony.

"You don't scare me monster! The Alicornia Nation shall defeat you, you will be- AHHH!" The stallion was hit but the Overlord's manipulative Evil Presence spell.

"You obey me now slave, the Alicorns can burn in a abyss for all I care."

The slaves watched in fear as a loyal and brave stallion, turned his back against the Alicornia Kingdom. The stallion bowed before the Overlord saying "What can I do for you master?"

"You slaves will go and harvest timber for the siege machines." He then spoke to Gnarl. 'Gnarl, can I have Giblet up here to supervise these wretches?'

"Oh yes your evilness. Giblet, get your ass up there to supervise the slaves! The Overlord commands it!

It didn't take long for Giblet to get to where the Overlord was. "What does masta need?"

Overlord pointed toward the slaves. "Get them to work."

"Oh yes masta!"

"Push!"

The Browns pushed forward a slave-made catapult toward the walls of Stalie. Behind them was their almighty Overlord, who oversaw it's placement. He commanded them to place it on the hill, facing the wooden walls.

Discord looked toward the town in plain sight, he scanned over it. On the walls were some unicorns, and some Earth ponies were on the ground, in the distance he spotted his first Alicorn, seemingly a mare who was with another Alicorn, a stallion who Discord believed was the leader of the town.

He could hear the ponies scrambling about, the fools.

"Ha, they think those walls can hold you back! They must be stupider than they look, and that's saying something! How about you show them how True Evil does it?"

The Overlord summoned his minions to him, then positioned them to the siege weapon. He aimed toward the wall with the most unicorns, the Browns poured oil on the rock, and the Reds lit it aflame. He opened fire.

"Incoming!"
"By the Goddess!"

Unicorns screamed in fear and froze, just standing there as the flaming stone crashed into the wall, exploding it to smithereens and making the wood catch aflame, easily. The fires burned through the bodies of all that were nearby, and the flying debris landed on some other ponies, either killing them or fatality wounding them.

The Overlord watched as the catapult continued to shoot at the walls, smashing upon them and crushing through the barricade easily. The screams of the enemy troops like music to his, and Gnarl's ears.

"Yes, burn them alive! Show them their true master!" Gnarl shouted in joy.

With a resounding hum of recalling his minions, the Overlord raised his axe to his side and charged into one of the many broken walls. Using his Reds to dispel the flames in his path, he then finally, entered the town of Stalie. Panic still within the poorly trained troops of this town, the Overlord took full use of it and sent his Browns into the midst of the crowd.

The Browns charged within, killing the panicked soldiers and knocking out cold any civilians that can be used for slaves. Suddenly, unicorns came around and opened fire upon the Browns, killing some. The Overlord saw this and sweeped his Reds toward hill nearby, and with a mental command, the Reds opened fire upon the Unicorns from high ground. Literally burning the fur-coats of the Unicorns who then broke position and fled for their very lives.

"Look at them run about! Screaming in fear and trembling before you! Now they know their place, Beneath your boot!"

A collection of Minion gates rose from the earth, allowing the Overlord to summon minions so that he can replace the ones that died. He summoned two browns, who came out of the gate fully armed and ready to pillage. Discord recalled his minions to him and walked to the inner gate leading to the town hall, only to find it locked and fortified with magic.

"Curses, that Alicorn blocked the way! Probably wetting himself inside the town hall. You'll must find another way in sire!"

Overlord Discord look around, finding another pathway, he then traveled that way. When he turned to enter a corner, he suddenly felt pain. A magical blast from three unicorns hit him the moment he had turned, he looked up to them, rage in his eyes. The unicorns stood firm, preparing another volley, he would not let them.

The Overlord raised his left gauntlet and shot forth lightning, electrocuting the three unicorns, with them stunned with the electricity, he charged forward his minions behind him. The Overlord raised his axe and brought it slicing left, and in the next instant, all three unicorns were headless, blood gushing from their bodies.

"Yay, masta kill horseys!"
"Horsey dead now!"
"This mine!" One of the minions said, revealing the one of the unicorn's horn as it's new weapon.

Another group of Earth ponies saw him and charged towards him. Discord positioned his Browns in front, and Reds in back. Once the ponies got close enough, the Reds opened fire, literally, the manes of the ponies caught fire right when they got in the range of the Browns. The Browns, in turn, decimated the ponies easily, even Discord took some of the action by crushing the heads and spines of the earth ponies.

"They say Earth 'ponies' are the most physically strongest, well, apparently not! I've seen a human take more punishment! No offense sire."

Discord, the Overlord, made his way down the town pathway, he arrived at a temple and saw a Nether object. But he decided to ignore it for now for he was currently invading. He ordered the Reds to set aflame some more buildings to keep the attention off them, then while he was doing it he saw it. A way in.

And he took it, ordering the Browns to smash the entrance apart, he then recalled all his minions and journeyed inside the Town hall. He made sure he had his max minions, because he never fought an Alicorn before, best to be a little cautious. When the Overlord was done checking everything, he stepped through the hallways, smashing doors, pots, plates, and is that booze?

"Another thing you might wanna know sire, is that minions... tend to get more brutal when they are drunk. But don't let that stop you, hehe." Discord knew Gnarl was grinning, cause he was gonna do it anyhow.

He sweep his minions toward the drinks.

"Booze!"
*gulp gulp gulp gulp*
*burp!*

The minions eyes glowed green, a misty magic aura seemingly appeared around them. Knowing it won't last long, he charged into the main room.

"You monster! Embodiment of evil, your destruction seems to know no bonds!"

The Alicorn had a royal blue fur-coat, a very long magical horn, and a symbol with a hoe crossed with a sword on his rump. It's mane was a plain white color, and he wore a brown colored iron chest-plate designed for battle.

"I'll take that as a compliment, sire time to show this Alicorn worm who is too rightly rule!"

The Alicorn charged his magic and fired at the Overlord and minions. But Discord saw it coming and stepped around, while sweeping his minions to the other side charging at the Alicorn with quick speeds. But before the Browns could reach him, the Alicorn flew into the air.

Unfortunately for the Alicorn, the Overlord wasn't uneducated in the arts of combat. He ordered his minions to circle the position of the in-flight Alicorn and open flames upon him. The Alicorn's eyes widened and it conjured a magical shield on himself to protect him from the flames of the Reds.

Discord smeared, and released his dark lightning upon the shield of the Alicorn, it's dark chaotic energy effective broke through the shield and forced him on the ground. With him on the ground, Discord commanded his Browns to attack, in which they did, jumping on the Alicorn's back, stabbing and slicing at his fur-coat and skin underneath.

The Alicorn's magical horn lit up and blasted all his minions away, killing three Reds and a Brown.

"Your going to have to get rid of his magical appendage! Might I suggest, tearing it off with your gauntlet and laughing at his demise?"

The Overlord grinned, sweeped his Browns at the Alicorn who started firing magical beams at him. Discord dodged them and he himself ran closer, he then positioned his Reds behind his foe and let them open fire. His evilness came closer and closer, the Browns got back on the Alicorn's back and tried to buck them off.

The Alicorn started to moan in pain as he felt the burning sensation of the Red's attack, and the bloodied pains of his wounds. He prepared another push back spell, but suddenly, he couldn't feel his magic.

*SNAP*

He looked up to see his horn within the grasp of the malevolent figure of his foe. His life suddenly flashed within his eyes as the vicious axe came crashing down upon his skull.

*SMASH*

The Alicorn was dead, the Overlord has won, Stalie is conquered.

The minions cheered for their Overlord, some peed on the Alicorn's corpse. Gnarl commented "Good job milord! That's one step closer to ending this so called 'Alicornia Kingdom'. Also sire, killing Alicorns will get more easy for you overtime, so don't worry about facing long battles such as this against them all the time."

The Overlord looked toward the door to see the mare Alicorn, who looked at him with awe, and slight fear, yet was intrigued?

Now to choose what to do with her, perhaps make her a slave? Or maybe... a mistress? Or he could just crush her head like the last one, maybe use her as an example to all who disobey him!

4: Mistresses and Minion Mixium

4: Mistresses and Minion Mixium

"Big, tall, powerful, and an army of creatures under your command? Yes, I like you, but what is your goal?" The Alicorn, with jade fur coat and sparking red mane, With an book and speech bubble as her rump mark, said.

Our great Overlord, replied in his simple sentences. "To bring back. He said.

"Bring back what?" She curiously questioned.

The Overlord stayed silent for a few seconds, before replying. "My kind." Then he recalled his minions back to him, making sure they were ready to move.

"And how exactly, are you going to bring back your... Kind?"

"By killing a goddess. He said.

"You mean the goddess that created everything? The world, animal life, pony kind, civilization?"

"All lies from her followers, and speculations of the stupid. The goddess banished many sentient species from the world for her own gains, before your kind ever came to be." The Overlord answered, why was he even telling her this?

"So, the goddess is a bitch?" She seemed to conclude.

Discord just nodded, before sending his minions to pillage for gold and weapons in the Hall.

"In that case, I'll help you!" Wait... what? "Plus, I'm sure a big... Guy, such as yourself needs a mistress to keep things ordered."

Discord secluded himself in his thoughts, pros? Someone... Pony, to help in organization, as well as a potential political tool and information of the Alicornia Kingdom. Plus, she could possibly help in convincing any military or civilians to join his cause of bringing the kingdom down to it's very knees, cons? Potential betrayal, previous mistresses for Overlords had a knack for knick-knacks which includes expenses, and it's a mercy act for letting her live.

The pros outweighed the cons only slightly, and from Gnarl's tutoring, and history lessons, sometimes showing mercy helps in evil goals. It was settled then, she will be his mistress, but he'll keep in eye out for her. That, and she'll not become his first mistress, that goes to a human female, once he finds a way to bring back the other species.

"Fine." The Overlord answered.

"Alright, name is Chalina! Lead on big guy." She commented.

Discord's great supervisor decided to comment. "Well, sire... I've seen stranger ways of achieving a mistress, our last Overlord has a Elven Queen that got corrupted, now she was a wild one!"

'Wild in what way?' Discord responded.

'I believe humans say... "She had a way in the bed.'

Discord let loose a darkly chuckle, remembering how his childhood with Gnarl was not all tutoring, but stories of the Overlords of old. Discord's favorite was the Overlord of Noidberg. He would take some of that Overlord's tactics and apply it to his own, it was one of the reasons he thought of the catapult to destroy the walls of Stalie

The Overlord recalled his minions to him, and went outside. He journeyed to the temple area where the pillars crumbled into pieces as a Nethergate arose from the ground. With the Netherworld object being close by, the Overlord's minions carried it into the Nethergate where then his gauntlet glowed with malicious energy, giving him control of over twenty-five minions.

'You now can control twenty-five minions! That's ten more ready to obey your every command. Also sire, we now equip the newborns with armor and weapons. However we are still low on stock so you might want to put those newly acquired slaves to use. Not like they do much else except eat grass all day.' Gnarl advised.

After 'appointing' a unicorn as the temporary manager of Stalie, putting taxes, and 'persuading' ponies to work in the mines for materials. The Overlord, and his new mistress, entered the Nethergate.

"After so long, the dark tower finally has a worthy Overlord! Great job sire, I'm sure the Alicornia Kingdom is trembling in fear!" He glanced at the Alicorn mistress, then back to Discord. "Perhaps you and your mistress should visit the private quarters."

Chalina glanced around at her new enviroment, noting the sprewing lava that she would have to avoid. All in all, the Nether didn't seem like a rundown building at the slightest.

"Not bad, but it could use some more, decor. I'll be in your room big guy, when you need me." The Alicorn walked toward the room staircase. "Give me some of those minions for a bit, and I'll have a surprise for you." With that, she went, a few brown minions wearing worker clothing following.

"Take my advice on the fairer sex, buy them lots of knick-knacks. Ladies like knick-knacks." He said, nodding to himself.

The Overlord took off his helmet, moving his neck about as he heard the satisfying crack. He looked to Gnarl and said. "Anything to report?"

"Mmh..." Gnarl rubbed his chin. A green minion wearing leather armor came up to him and whispered something, then went on his way. "Ah, sire. We just recently finished a new feature in our lovely Netherworld."

The Overlord nodded and replied. "Show me."

"Right this way." Gnarl answered darkly, leading toward down the staircase where the old training grounds were.

They ventured deeper, until they came upon what used to be the training grounds, emphasize on 'used to be' as the whole of the grounds had been completely redone to not even resemble an inch of the place. The grass was placed by black marble, and their was a giant white circle with four pillars leading to it. Each pillar had a place to jump off from, and each pillar was colored like the minions it represented. Brown, Red, Green, and Blue.

The walls were craved out too, no longer where their just natural formations instead it twisted and turned, giving the area a more chaotic feel. On the white marble circle, a strange array of glowing glyphs and runes were engraved into it.

Discord turned to Gnarl. "What is this place?" The Overlord demanded.

"This is our new Minion Mixium! An area where you can create your own minion to use in combat! A minion that has its own specialties and can be summoned at any time, regardless if you reached the horde limit your gauntlet can command." Gnarl stepped up the stair case leading to a magic tome floating on a pedestal.

The gray minion looked to the Overlord, his hands rubbing against each other in a malicious way. "The pillars represent the minions, you sacrifice minions like the forge, each giving their own strengths to your special juggernaut. Browns represent strength, Reds are flame affinity, Greens represent speed, and Blues give your minion the ability to cast spells. Of course, the minion could never be as strong as you sire. The minion will be just as loyal and stupid as your regular brown, willingly sacrificing itself for your leisurely if you so command it too. As a bonus, it can be summoned with a spell at any time."

Discord rubbed his chin in thought. A specialized minion can be useful in taking down stronger foes. The minion could also be summoned by a spell and wouldn't take any horde space. Which could prove useful if he could summon it at an area he points too.

"What's the limit?" He questioned, there was always a catch.

"Ah, well, we don't have any Netherworld objects to hone the Mixium to further increase the minions powers. As such, the minion right now at it's max would be just as strong as your average armored brown, strength wise." Gnarl said.

"Anyway to... Create, an Netherworld object?" Discord said.

"Mmh..." Gnarl rubbed his chin, thinking. "I do recall how to make such an object, but we don't have the right materials, and we also need magical essence from some powerful item or being. Perhaps a couple sacrifices of Alicorns could supply that yes?" Gnarl grinned.

Discord nodded, raising his gauntlet over the floating tome. His magic coursing through it, down the pedestal, and into the runes that linked the whole room. Magic filled the Mixium, and the minions await to jump in for their master's leisure. Discord had a total of... After the slaughtering of the Stalie 'soldiers', one-hundred and sixty-six Brown life force, thirty-seven Fire life force, twenty-one Blue life force from the Unicorns, and strangely enough, ten Green life force.

And after some tinkering, sacrificing, change of looks, the minion was finally done. Discord gave it a name, a reference to all his minions being color names... Orange.

The skin appeared orange after all, it had a single horn protruding out of it's head, also a bony spike coming from its elbow with a small lizard tail. The Overlord didn't know where the tail came from, probably the blue life force mixed with all the Green ones. The Orange stood half of the Overlord's height, which is a inch or two taller then your average minion. Besides that, everything else was looking like the dominate Brown life force.

The Overlord traveled up the stairway, his helmet reattached to his head. The dark evil aura emitting from his very being as he took step by step toward the private quarters. When he reached the room, he stood their looking about to find his whole room redecorated in a variety of dark colors. Where was the pink through, he likes a dark pink. Such a bright color turning into a nightmarish hue, showing that even the brightest light can be corrupted by choas. He'll fix that later he guessed.

"Like what I did to the place?" The Alicorn mistress said, appearing before him in a... seducing matter.

"It is... Decent." He commented, he liked the change of colors, he admitted to himself that it looked too plain before.

He looked at her, at which she said. "Like what you see?"

However, Discord was no fool to this art of manipulation. "No." He darkly answered. The Alicorn frowned for a bit, but returned to her regular attitude.

"Alright then, now if you please follow me big guy, I'll show you a detailed map that you seem to need in this... Tower of yours."

His evilness followed the not-first-mistress Alicorn to a wide table. He glanced at the map to find it astonishingly detailed with the current world and cities. He glanced at one area in particular that was near some ruins, with this in mind and also something else...

"To build a Netherworld object, we need three materials. Arcadium, a big chunk of magical essence, and obsidian. We have the obsidian, we just need the other two. Arcadium ore, if I recall, can be found in area heavily influenced in ancient magic.

He pointed at the area detailing the ruins, near it was another town by the name of... Oh, he can't read pony. How annoyingly troublesome. So, he asked his 'mistress' about it.

"That town is named Cornis, the town is mostly inhabitant by Unicorns and Pegasi. I believe a few Alicorns live their as well to study the nearby ruins, probably built by your people I assume. The ruins have a strange magic to them that most unicorns and some Alicorns wish to interpret, the ruins are also a... Swamp to some creatures." Chalina explained.

'Mmh, a swamp as well... Possibility that the Green hive is their, so I could bring them back. And also a new town to go over and with a possibility of a few new Netherworld objects. And with the strange magic in the ruin area, possibility of the ground having Arcadium to mine.'

With this in mind, the Overlord turned around and headed back down to the throne, ordered Grubby to make a Nethergate nearby the target area, then he waited his time.

5: Swamp Ruins

Chapter 5: Swamp Ruins

"Our most evil, diablolical, surpreme ruler of the Netherworld, the one who dominated Stalie and made its citizens slaves to his will. The Overlord who made it his goal to kill a goddess, destroy the Alicornia Kingdom, and make a mistress of a horse with wings and horn. The one, and only... Well who did you think I was talking about? Our beloved master Discord of course! Anyhow, our master entered the new land, seeking out the hive of the Greens."

A massive black gate of Nether energies erupted from the ground up, breaking through tons of rock as it formed into a massive spiked base. Onto the sides of it, three gates made themselves known, two which were glowing brightly with brown and red colors, another seemed to be closed off but small tendrils of green emitted from it.

A bright color of blue flashed outward from the Nethergate, revealing a great dark figure. The Overlord, Discord, walked out of the gate and took a look at his surroundings.

It seemed Grubby had built the base on top of a fortified hill, surrounded by large stones that cleverly hid the constructs of the Nether. Looking down the hillside through, Discord clearly saw the massive swampland and a set of ruins within it. Looking to the right, he spotted in the distance, the town of Cornis.

Raising his minion gauntlet, Discord summoned forth from the minion gates fifteen browns and ten reds.

"Ah, there you are master! I swear this thing needs some tuning... I assume our first order of business is to retrieve the stabby Greens."

Something suddenly urged Discord’s curiosity, as a old childhood memory of horses surfaced up. ‘Gnarl, a question.’

”Speak master, I’m here to advise you. As well as make quirky remarks now and then.” Gnarl replied.

‘Long ago, my kind used horses as means of labor and riding companions.’

”Yes, I do recall those bothersome human warriors that ride to their inevitable demise. Knights they were called by the people. Oh, are you going where I think you are Mi'lord? Oh, I can see the nefarious acts that need doing!” Gnarl toned down his excitement and continued, “As you know master, the previous Overlord used wolves and salamanders as riding mounts for the Browns and Reds.”

‘I recall reading of my predecessor’s tactics. However my idea’s a bit more complicated. Can you open a link to the Alicorn?

Gnarl grumbled a bit at the mention of the Alicorn Mistress, ”As you wish master, we minions were made to obey your every command… Hey, stop chewing that you imbecile!” The sounds of a good minion beating were heard before the Mistress answered.

'Yes mi'lord?' The Mistress said.

'I need you to... Persuade the classified Earth Ponies into being mounts for my minions.' Discord commanded, straight to the point.

'Wow! Your a lot less grumpy than when you speak-'

'Now, Alicorn!' He demanded.

'Okay, okay, sheesh. You're still grumpy after all.'

With that the link was cut, with a grumbling Discord.

'Being an Overlord is hard work.' The majestic lord of Evil thought to himself.

His most evilness proceeded to trek down into the swampland, he knew his goal, find the Greens. No matter the cost of minions necessary, it's not like he'll run out of any life force soon. He did conquer a town recently after all. Anyhow, as the Overlord entered the swampland and closed in toward the ruins within. He soon noticed how the entirety of the ruins seem surrounded by a moat, also known as the watery grave to minions.

Without a word needed, Discord glanced around to find a way in. Which usually consist of one of the following three. A conveniently placed old ruined wall, ready to be knocked into bridge material. A already built gate guarded by killable enemies which then is opened by a mechanical device of some sort for his minions to push. Or the later, a shallow enough water spot for his majesty to get across and seemly having his minions locate a way in without drowning along with screams mixed in.

Today's consistency went with number one, which Overlord Discord smashed down a ruined wall to make a bridge for himself and his minions.

Discord narrowed his eyes when he saw large beetles with puffs of green toxic smoke emitting from their backs.

"Ack, six legged insects, those beetles seem to crawl out from whatever hole no matter what sort of world shattering cataclysm there is! That's not the worse of it, they reek more than the Greens, and that's saying something!"

A slight pause, before the Overlord simply raised his gauntlet toward a small overlooking hill. The dominating evil lord ordered his red minions to head toward that direction and then rain fire down upon the beetles.

This strategy worked excellently, the insects running about as magical flames came from the skies and burned through their carapaces. The Overlord smirked underneath his helmet before calling from his minions to rally to himself. The green poisonous beetles lay burning even in death as the Overlord and his creatures stamped through them.

"Well done, those green life sources gained from their deaths will prove much more useful than what they could ever do with it." Gnarl commented from the Netherworld.

As the esteemed Overlord trekked along the swampy ruins, he and his ever loyal minions discovered a small band of ponies camped at the entrance to a cavern. Discord walked close enough for him to hear their conversation.

"Have you heard about the strange disappearances?" A unicorn pony said to his three fellows.

"The one where Pegasus would just disappear after smelling some sort of awful odor? That's just a myth to scare foals off." A Pegasus replied, waving a hoof off.

"They say it all happens when they enter this very cave through..." The unicorn said with slight fear in its voice.

It didn't take long for the Overlord to figure out what exactly the so called 'myths' were originating from. The Greens were within his grasp, he only needs to enter the cavern and collect their hive. With that in mind, he raised his gauntlet, a hum only heard by his minions sounding their attack.

The Brown minions charged forward with tenacious fury, slashing and bashing at the surprised camp of unicorns as the Reds surrounded the site and burned the fur off their very bodies.

Needless to say, it was a slaughter.

"Too easy," Discord commented as he recalled his minions back into formation, after they ransacked the campsite of course.

"Always welcomed to hear a fine slaughter and looting in the morning, but enough of that, those sacks of puss had information in which your genius mind probably already comprehended." Gnarl spoke, "I've ordered Gubby to construct more minion gates near your position."

Overlord Discord nodded, entering the dark cavern with his minions behind him.

The Overlord traveled deeper into the overgrown cavern, using his minions to cut through the weeds push large objects out of the way. He suddenly paused, calling his minions to him he carefully analyzed the surrounding area. Ruins decked the great expanse of the cavern room in which he was inside, castle-like, and no doubt human in making.

"Only ancient magic could have preserved these ruins my Lord, there must be a Nether object here alongside the Greens!" Gnarl spoke.

"Greens, Greens!" One of the minions yelled, pointing toward the sight of its green colored counterparts.

Discord glanced toward that direction, and spotted the Greens running through small tunnels, taking looks towards him.

'At last,' Discord thought, as he began to follow their general direction before being stopped by clouds of poisonous gases which suffocated two of his brown minions before he stopped them. He frowned, before looking to the side and spotting three different minion gates popping up. Some Greens jumped from a small tunnel opening right into their minion gate.

The Overlord easily understood them, and sent all his Red minions back to the Netherworld, knowing full well that they were useless for the time being. And, seeing how his browns couldn't bypass the fumes, sent them back too. In which Discord then summoned forth his first ever Green minions, and used them to absorb the poisonous gases.

With a small pathway made available to him, the master of the Netherworld, followed by his Green minions, journeyed into the cavern. Along the way, he collected as much Green life force as possible from the cave's critters and disgusting beetles.

"At last, the Green minion hive! Quickly master, retrieve it and bring it back to the Nethergate!" Gnarl started, before stating as Discord looked to a object nearby, "The Fireball spell! A old favorite of all Overlords, make sure to get that too, sire.

Discord ordered the Green minions in his control to lift their own hive, and which they followed him back the same way he entered. A bad feeling came into his gut, and as they approached the minion gates, he summoned ten browns so he had a maximum of twenty five in his command, the other fifteen being the greens that carried the hive and object.

When approaching the exit, he was met with a armed group of ponies at the entrance, he picked out five pegasus, four unicorns, and a Alicorn captain.

'Troublesome,' Discord thought, raising his gauntlet to which all the minions rallied to him, dropping the hive and spell object still safely behind them.

The Alicorn Captain's eyes widened when looking at the menacing appearance of the Overlord, but then regained her composure and shouted, "By order of the Alicornia Kingdom, I hereby state you surrender immediately and come quietly for questioning, or else we will be forced to use dangerous means."

"No," He merely said.

"Very well then," The mare Alicorn captain said, "Ponies, attack!"

Instantly, Discord placed his brown minions in front of him as the pegasus soldiers attacked. The winged ponies dived from above, and his brown minions could barely strike at them, he lost three browns quickly. However, the Overlord thought of a solution, he split in Greens in groups of two, and then allowed them to circled around his browns. When the pegasus dived in, the Greens jumped on to them from the sides, stabbing at them with large claws, piercing their skin and armor, blood gushing before they fell like flies.

Now that the pegasus were dealt with, he ordered his minions to charge forth at the unicorns.

It was then, did he himself get staggered back from a magical force. The Alicorn Captain herself charged forward, and bypassed his minions to get to the Overlord. She slammed into him, and he felt himself be pushed into the cave wall.

"Perish evil doer!" The Alicorn Captain said, bringing a telekinetic raised sword to bare.

But Discord raised his gauntlet, and channeled all his magical energy into his Evil Presence spell. He watched as blue lightning coursed from his hand and into the Alicorn's head, directly into her horn in fact.

The result, her entire skull exploded.

Overlord Discord breathed a calm sigh, and noticed the soldiers dying from the combination of his superior minions. But he knew this was more like a task force than a military regiment.

"Did you see what you did to that horse whore's face? Priceless! Well, now we know what happens when you overload the Evil Presence spell, very satisfying indeed." Gnarl commented in amusement.

'They were unprepared for me, I should not be overconfident.' Discord thought to himself, but first, he had to return both the Green Hive and the Fireball spell.

Which he did, a simple trekked through the swamp before he returned to the grand Nethergate, successfully returning both objectives.

Now the Overlord's next order of business is what shall he accomplish with the town of Cornis, Domination or Destruction?
