Domination of Equestria - T-15 days.
The Battle For Ponyville: 20:09
“I thought you said they couldn’t use their magic weapons while the anti-magic thingie was up!”
“They can’t Rainbow! This isn’t magic, they’re using chemically propelled metal slugs in these ones!”
“I have no bucking idea what you just said but we’re basically really bucking screwed right now Twilight!”
“Can’t disagree with you there!”
This is a slaughter! It’s taking everything me and Twilight have not to get swamped by these goons.
There are hundreds of them all trying to shoot, claw, stab and swing at us all at once. I can hardly tell where's up and where's down anymore.
Buck, Horseapples, Shit!
“Rainbow! I see him!”
“What!? Twilight, stay away from him, you’re not built for fighting without your magic!”
“I’m not going to fight him Dash, there has to be another way to end this.”
“No! I’m not letting you go Twi! You can't seriously think you can talk to him!? He’ll kill you!”
“I’ve got a feeling he won’t Rainbow. I just have to trust in that feeling.”
Buck another changeling skull in, swing my spear into a second. Speed is key, I’ve been too slow. I’ve got to go fast!
“Then I’m coming with you!”
“No Rainbow Dash! I’ve got to do this alone. Besides, I need you to go to Canterlot and warn Princess Celestia.”
“Hell no! Twilight! I’m not leaving you! I’m not!”
Stab a fourth in the ear, throw him at a sixth.
“You have to go Dash, Equestria is more important than me.”
Punch my hoof right through a tenth, take his sword, throw it at an eleventh.
“Nothing is more important to me than you Twilight! Nothing! I’m not letting you go like that!”
“Oh...Oh Rainbow, I…”
Fuck! Shit! Did I say that out loud!? Fuck it! I’m going all the way!
“Twilight Sparkle, I know this isn’t the best time, but I’ve got to tell you, I-”
“I know Rainbow.”
Huh?
Drop a Fifteenth to his death.
“What?”
“I’ve known for awhile now Dash.”
“How!? What!?”
“And I’m sorry, but I still have to go. And if you do care then you’ve got to go now to Canterlot. They need to know what happened here. You have to let me go and try to stop this Rainbow Dash. You’ve got put your feelings aside and be more loyal to Equestria than me.”
Damnit, DAMNIT! Stupid smart Twilight!
“Don’t die! Do you hear me! Live through this Twilight!”
“I will Dash, Pinkie promise.”
Dodge, duck, smash. I’m clear. Oh Celestia, Ponyville looks like Tartarus! Everything’s on fire, ponies screaming...dying.
Ignore it, got to get to Canterlot.
First, gotta go over our back line, yea, they’re already running. Huh, so much for the famous Royal Guard courage.
Can I really blame them though? Here I am, flying away with my tail between my legs like a foal with their hoof in the cookie jar.
No, I’ve got to get that message to them from Twilight.
Twilight…
“Twilight!”
Fuck this noise, fuck this speed, fuck this message! Nothing is more important than Twilight Sparkle! How could I even question that for even a second? So not awesome!
Where are you? Where are you!? Get out of my way! There's too many of them! I can't see shit!
There! Next to the lake, with that creep! Got to get over there right now before he does something!
Dammit, what are they doing!? Why is her horn glowing? Twilight!?
Gah!
“Twilight!”
What’s going on!? What’s with this wind, It’s like something’s about to...no…
”TWILIGHT! NO!”
Crack.
I can’t hear! My ears! Twilight! Yes! You can see me! Come here- What? What are you?
No...No...don’t say that now! Not like this! NO!
Whumph.
Boom.
"TWILIGHT!"
Overlord Rule No:75 I will instruct my Legions of Terror to attack the hero en masse, instead of standing around waiting while members break off and attack one or two at a time.
Bonehead move. One of the smartest book styles in Equestria and she walks up to the evil overlord that has been laying conquest to her nation without any backup. Was it a suicide attempt?
You missed the l in her name
Even heroes need a guide, it would seem.
What happened in the end?
While the change in perspective is good every know and then, the complete removal of narration because of it is kinda bad. If it weren't for the rule at the end, most of us wouldn't even have a clue what happened.
Go straight for the kill when you get the chance. If you miss your chance you might not get another.
Whether you are playing a game or setting you to conquer the world, you should learn to identify the point in which you got to go for it. The instance in which one should not have reservations, the time in which you should drop you guard and put all your weight in your right first etc.
Sometimes the openings only last a fraction of a second so in order to ensure you don't miss it you should be constantly looking for those openings and know when to go for it and when to hold back.
Also,
Twilight!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...
(Saw it coming)

6523883 Obviously she doesn't have a list.
6524273 That's crazy talk.
6524273
Fixed it.
I’ve been to slow
1. Too.
6524006 Indeed, and even though I got the overarching idea, I'm still not sure about the specifics.
On an unrelated note... I'm not supposed to get this pit in my stomach from dead ponies....
6523982 Either Twilight got hit with a superweapon... Or made a suicide attack...
6523923 Actually some one has made one up, HARD as get-out to find but it's been made. Aslo, when compared to The Evil Overlord's list, it's pathetic. Basically, work arounds to the Overlord list
While this is entertaining on many levels, at the same time it seems incredibly reliant on the ponies being, well, stupid. Again and again and again, such that the list at this point seems to be less 'competent overlord' and more 'Evil wins because Good is Dumb', with the Equestrians making every possible mistake it is to make.
This guy doesn't win due to competence, he wins because his opponents act like childish idiots.
I have no idea what the hell happened. Explain please?
6525526 Judging from the rule, she got swarmed by a bunch of goons haha
Oh poor Rainbow Dash, with her last second love confession. That only works in anime. She's wrong genre savvy.
That was fun, may I have another? Looking forward to more.
Keep up the good work. Deus tecum.
Hero targeting. How many rage quits have I caused with that?
6525526
Hero targeting. The phenomena in which when the enemies hero unit enters into combat, you immediately direct all ranged and if possible melee units to all focus their attacks on the hero, even if the enemies units are still attacking your own. This is cause the hero unit is the more powerful, with AOE spells or abilities. Better to kill it off quick so you have the advantage with your own hero unit still alive.
It is the cause of many a rage quit.
6523883
Remember, Twilight is the GOOD guy. The good guy always tries to give diplomacy a chance. And even if they don't they are all about the heroic sacrifice, which is a dumb move.
Or perhaps she thought she could take him out with a bomb like suicide attempt. Become a martyr and everything. As stated, the heroic sacrifice thing.
Good guys do it all the time, its practically their thing. After all if you take out the Overlord the minions fall apart.
But of course...evil doesn't play by the rules. Well true evil doesn't. Anyone who claims to be evil, but doesn't do these rules isn't really evil. They are just stupid
6525491 More like the heroes aren't total idiots, but they're dealing with someone who's been planning this for a long time, and their normal tactics aren't cutting the mustard. They don't have the experience for this sort of attack. Nightmare Moon? Discord? Tirek? They can handle that. Armies waging a more conventional war, backed by super weapons and a guy who knows what he's doing? Yeah, not so much.
6529434 they fucked
7555616 Can you imagine if every super hero comic followed these rule, every ark would end on issue #1-2 tops.
The ponies never stood a chance. The Evil Overlord is a total Pragmatist who is extremely Genre Savvy and has Protagonist Plot Armor added on top of that. Not a Manipulative Bastard or that big of a Chessmaster, no, but most certainly an effective enough villain to win.
This chapter (rule 75) doesn't seem correct...
Rainbow... Are you high?..
I know saving Twilight is important, I think I'd attempt that too, but that's not what Rainbow would say. That's not what anyone would say... (Unless Twilight were her dear mother, in which case...)
Apparently, someone really wants to be funny, but fails . This is not funny, this is sad. It's no laughing matter.
Dash deserves better treatment .
Gosh, have I really got to do it myself ?
