> The Most Bad*** Freakin' Overlord In The Entire Cosmos! > by Harpiessnow > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter One - So Here I Am > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- All I could see or feel was the empty black void which expanded around from my body. How long had I been in this strange area? Where has the world which had once greeted me with open hands hooves gone? How much longer would I be here? All my questions seemed to answer themselves on their own when I was suddenly thrust of my dream induced stupor. My eyes were graced once again with the rather common sight of a brush with flowers which held white petals with a yellow center. For some unannounced reason the gardener of this damned royal garden had decided that placing a bush with flowers of the same color of one of my most hated and sworn enemies in front of me was a good idea. Though of course the poor old pony probably thought at this point I was just a regular old statue and not some sort of immortal god like deity trapped in stone form by six pieces of horrible fashion sense. Yet I digress. Today, I felt, was going to be a different day than all the other ones had been. Yes! I could just feel it deep down in my stone encrusted bones that today would be the day that I would finally be free from my accursed prison! Well at least that was something that I liked to believe would happen. Had it not been for the fact that I had felt that same exact feeling for the past thousand or so years I would be much more happy. At least like always, at this time of year, some stupid cerise colored pony with flowers on her butt had brought her dumb little class to the gardens once again to explain all the statues and the history. Yet with all the times she had visited the gardens it had always seemed like she would personally try to avoid my statue... Though realistically I would avoid a statue as well. If said statue was of some sort of weird alien creature which had it's hind legs bent at an angle, back arched backwards, hands held palm up and head thrown back in some sort of weird maniacal laugh to some joke that only he got. Shit... I suddenly remembered how much being in this position for so long hurts my back... Yet once again I digress as my attention was turned to the three little foals, all of whom had no tattoos on their butts, that were quickly galloping up to my side while beginning to paw at what would be my leg and the base which supported my body. "Miss Cheerilee? What is this statue supposed to represent?" The gamboge colored filly with clashing cerise mane asked the bumbling idiot of a teacher. Said teacher quickly swiveled her head towards the three fillies who merely looked at her with their damn adorable puppy dog eyes and quivering lower lip as if knowing the teacher, known as Cheerilee, would like to skip past said strange statue. "Well girls, that particular statue represents Despotes which comes from an olden language which roughly translates to "master" or "one with power"." Cheerilee quickly spouted, her gaze remaining on the fillies long enough to speak before turning to my glorious bod and then quickly looking back to the rest of the class. "Why don't you girls join the rest of the class and we'll look at some of the more interesting statues in the garden?" Cheerilee muttered, her words coming off as more of a command to the small fillies than a request to which was quickly responded to by a three toned sigh and the soft clicking of hooves meeting stone. 'Man that old mare really needs to get laid or something...' I though, the faint feeling of my right mental appendage meeting my chin as I closed my 'eyes' which cut off the world from around me. 'I would swear she has some sort of weird ancestral grudge against me or something... Besides I am probably the most interesting statue in this garden in the first place!' My words rang out, unheard by any of the passing ponies whom were enjoying their nice evening with a walk through the gardens. I internally sighed, cause you know sighing when made of stone can be rather hard to do, before I opened my eyes and looked about the garden which seemed to never change with time. I felt another wake of tiredness slowly taking over my mind as they slowly shut before quickly darting back open. This repetition continued for another few moments before I quickly snapped into an awake state by the faint sound of something cracking located directly to my right. Interested in this strange sound I quickly turned my gaze towards it and what greeted by eyes quickly caused them to open wide as a strange jumbled mess of a creature stretched it's arms while simultaneously causing stone to slowly slip from it's form to the ground below. 'Oh shi- Discord is free! Discord! Hey, hey Discord! How about you lend a brotha' a hand and let me out?!' I mentally screamed, mentally cupping my hands around my mouth which caused the very incarnate of disharmony to slowly turn his gaze towards the humanoid statue which was me. "Oh well if it isn't Zetta or should I call you by your pet name, Despotes? It is certainly amazing to finally be able to stretch my limbs once more after such a long imprisonment in stone... Don't cha' know?" Discord said, his yellow and red eyes burrowing into my mind as a grin slowly came to his face. 'Quit the shit Discord. You know that if I had broken free I gladly would have let you out if you so much as muttered the request for freedom. Now how about you get your lazy draconequus behind over here and let me out of this damned stone prison?' I thought, mentally crossing my arms for added effect which only seemed to cause the grin on the strange jumble of animal part's face to grow wider. "Oh don't worry Despotes I will gladly help you to freedom with but a quick snap of my fingers." He said, gently laying a paw on his chest where his heart normally would be while batting his suddenly long eyelashes before snapping his talons causing a soft crack to ring out within the garden. Oh man, I couldn't wait for the time of the return of the true ruler of this idiotic dimension of happy technicolor ponies had finally come! My gaze quickly descended down to the stone prison which kept me half expecting the stone to have already been cracked in half to finally release me. Yet my gaze was met with only a small little chip which started on the very end of my right index finger and slightly extended down to the first joint. This very sight quickly threw me into a quick rage as I quickly turned my gaze back to Discord. 'Discord quit your bullshit and let me out already! I don't have time for your petty little games! There's a whole new world for me to conquer!' "Oh, but Despotes... This isn't a petty little game... Besides I like to believe that my games are more than just petty or little." Discord said, his talon snapping as two balloons appeared in his paw, one of which he quickly tied to the index finger on my left hand. "My chaos magic can only do so much to this harmony constructed prison in which you reside. That small crack is just the beginning. Slowly it was spread across your body and before you know it you will be free once again to rule what little bit of the world I have yet to take control of once you are free." He said, that grin spreading from one ear to the other as he waved to me with his free hand. "Though, I must say that my time in this area has come to an end and I will drink one glass of chocolate milk to you hopefully being free within the next year. Ta-ta." Discord said, his hand continued to wave to me as the balloon slowly lifted him away, carrying him to Celestia knows where within the world to once again bring about his reign of chaos. Of course at this point I was so blind with rage that I could only think of doing one thing... 'DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRDDDDDDD!' > Chapter Two - Coming About > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So there I was, screaming to the heavens in some sort of unholy symphony which was seemingly brought about by the rather frustrating Discord leaving me to rot in this statue prison. If I had been free I would have screamed myself rather hoarse at this point but luckily I was still in stone so such a thing was simply impossible. Good thing there was no other sentient statues near me cause they probably would have been pretty pissed off at this point. Eventually, my mind came to the exciting conclusion that no matter how hard or how long I yelled would I be set free from stone so I allowed my cacophony styled scream come to an abrupt end. My gaze merely stared forward at that accursed bush located merely feet directly in front of me. I stared daggers at the brush with the intent of frying the damn thing with my stare alone but it seemed, that in the end, the brush won this fight. I honestly never could understand why I always stared at this bush when ever I went into a massive rage. Every single time I looked at just a singular flower I was quickly reminded of Celestia. More importantly... Her posterior. Call me weird but seeing that yellow sphere surrounded by alabaster petals of the flower always brought me back to that rather familiar sight. There was a many of times where I had found myself chasing down the persistent Celestia with a rolled up newspaper every time she had attempted to defeat me alongside her sister. Her sister was always the push over of the two which always led to the benny hill style chase in which I would constantly swat at Celestia with what ever I had in my hand at the time. Aaaaaaaahhhh... Such was an amazing time when I was at the height of my power. I was just about to wander back to that better time within my head when everything around my form seemed to glow white before everything was replaced with goofy renditions of what had previously been there. Luckily I had been spared from the sudden influx of chaos magic as it seemed Discord at least had some sense left in his head to leave me alone. I would have gladly ripped one of his limbs from his body and beat him senselessly with it had he done anything to me at this point. No, instead everything else was effected as the garden seemed to change into some sort of wicked and demented labyrinth around me as I heard a few ponies scream from outside of the garden. It must have been ol' Discord up to his old tricks once again as I heard the soft muttering of his voice as he was seemingly explaining some sort of rules to pony or maybe a group. It was hard to tell when all you could see was a bunch of green tall brushes in front of you. Though I quickly lost interest and proceeded to fall asleep once more finding myself in that black abyss that always haunted my subconscious. Then the strange sound of hooves clicking against the ground rang out in front of me which promptly stirred me from my slumber only to be met with the sight of a cyan mare. On her butt was a proud tattoo of a storm cloud with a lightning bolt that was made up of various colors. Interestingly enough her hair seemed to match the same color outline as the lightning bolt proudly displayed on her posterior. 'Hmm... Must be a dyke or something...' I watched the curious scene as she bounced from hoof to hoof while throwing imaginary punches at the twisted form which rested on a cloud in front of her. My mind still adjusting to being awake as I could only watch as the two spoke to one another at this point. She seemed pretty distressed all of a sudden and her eyes projected the fact that she was currently under a mind altering spell which was likely cast by Discord. Then a present promptly appeared in front of her which she seemed to jump at suddenly. 'You probably don't want to open that...' I thought, my arms crossing in front of my body as she quickly ripped it open and took to the sky once her wings were again reunited with her body to which Discord merely gave me another grin as the maze seemed to disappear from around us. That was probably the only moment where I remained lucid as I once again fell asleep once all distractions seemed to vacate the area and time began to flow out of control around me. I heard from my dream the words of some of the soldiers mentioning to place the statue right back where it was. I couldn't help but snicker in my dream at the idea that Discord was once again defeated and returned to his stone prison. It would be some sort of poetic justice for the bull shit that he had decided to pull in his 'attempt' in freeing me. With a quick pinch to the arm I was once again thrust back into the conscious world and with a quick swivel of my gaze I was met with Discord's frightened face which only cause me to make the most obnoxious sound ever. 'Pfft... HAHAHAHAHA.... Oh me you should see the look on your face right now. Here I though I had it bad while being stone.' I thought, getting no response from the likely peeved draconequus which had returned to his space next to me. All that filled the air was the subtle cracking of stone as the small crack slowly extended down to the back of my hand. 'Apparently not much longer...' One Year Later I have seriously seen some shit while a years time slowly trickled by like the sand in an hour glass slowly spilling down to the bottom. At least when you are met face to face with cold unblinking eyes placed upon a black chitinous form with a horn and wings you can also say this phrase. I had literally screamed myself into a mess when I had awoken from my slumber only to stare into the eyes of some over grown bug scurrying over my statue form. It was like having Vietnam flashbacks of the time that I had taken a small trip to Texas only to be met with bugs that seemed to be larger than anywhere else in U.S. Though they do say that everything is bigger in Texas. I had cried myself into a puddle while being hysterically laughed at by Discord for all of an hour as the entire garden or rather all of Canterlot had been swarmed by this giant mess of black exo-skeleton laded freak of natures. I have witnessed some interesting and one sided fights between these insects and the soldiers of Canterlot. I would only give you one guess on which one you think had won the most fights. It had seemed that the whole world was in dire trouble before some deus ex machina bullshit decided to rear it's ugly head and a giant love soaked blast wave sent all the strange creatures flying away from Canterlot. Had I not been hyperventilating while staring at the under side of a "Changeling" on my face I probably wouldn't have given two shits about the whole thing. It was only then that I felt the crack once again move as it slowly tore through my body like some sort of spider web while the feeling of harmony slowly began to drain from my prison. 'Ah shit man! It's my turn now!' I thought, squirming slightly as the stone slowly began to fall to the ground around me and my body once again returned to it's standard motion of standing up right. Standing at an impressive seven feet, with crazy red hair, lack of any sort of pupils or irises, a bunch of belts in my uniform and two golden bangles on both of my wrists. I merely stood there for a second with my eyes closed as I allowed my senses to once again fine tune themselves to the world around me. Then slowly my eyes opened to the world and with a quick glance around I allowed my rather well practiced sinister grin to play across my face. Finally, with a chest full of air I threw my fists into the sky and quickly bellowed out to the world. "I'M BACK BITCCCCCCCCCCHHHHHHEEEEESSS!" > Chapter Three - How to Ruin an After Party > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Have you ever had that feeling of waking up from a nightmare that had seemed to transpire over a time period of days only to wake up back in your bed happy that such a thing never truly happened? Well how I felt at this moment was equivalent to that but multiplied by a time period of a millennium of a nightmare where you are locked in place. All I can say is that I felt pretty damn good at this point... As evident by my rather direct comment of 'I'm back bitches'. My arms once again returned to my sides, my fingers curled tightly into a fist as I slowly turned my gaze towards the main part of the castle which undoubtedly contained the objects of most of my hatred. Those infernal sisters who believed that THEY had the right to rule over these lands. Technically this realm was mine considering I didn't have the title of Most Badass Fucking Overlord in the Entire Cosmos for no reason. I had promptly turned on my heel to face said castle before a certain some one quickly caught my attention after finally losing his laughing fit from my screams of terror. I could almost see the surprised look on his face, which the imagery was pretty easy due to the stupid surprised look his statue had. 'I didn't really think that the crack would have worn through the prison so quickly... Must've had something to do with not only myself but Queen Chrysalis trying to take Equestria for ourselves. Here I thought you would be trapped in stone for another millennia before being released. I think you owe me a little something for aiding in your escape... Don't you think?' The Snarky Draconequus thought, said thoughts quickly assaulting my mind as I slowly wandered over to his statue which only seemed to cause him to brighten with hope. Where he might seemed like a powerful being due only in part of being the God of Chaos and having all that chaotic magic at his hands, I had something more. My powers completely eclipsed his and such a petty thing such as freeing him from the stone prison would have been rather easy. I had always wished that I had my powers when I was trapped in stone but something about all the harmonic magic sapped the magic from the person trapped. It's rather scary feeling absolutely powerless inside of stone. I came to an abrupt stop in front of his statue, my cold pure alabaster eyes seemed to gaze through the stone as I rose my right hand up. The gold bangle seemed to glow softly with a gray hue before a black marker quickly materialized from thin air and with that a dirty grin appeared on my face. The sun was slowly setting by the time I was done completely desecrating Discord's stone statue with rather offensive imagery and words that even myself feel naughty with the idea of thinking about them. The whole time he was calling me rather offensive terms but to me they were nothing. Since every naughty word in this shit backwards world seemed retarded in themselves. I mean really? 'Go buck yourself'? The very notion of bucking yourself sounded retarded in every nature of the word but I once against digress. I pulled away once my work was done and surely anyone who took a glance at said Discord statue would find themselves giggling at least a little. The bastard deserved it. I finally slowly walked away from the statue, throwing said marker towards it as it harmlessly made a thunk sound against his head and disappeared in a puff of gray smoke. I giggled to myself as I clasped both of my hands behind my head, pushing my bed head style red hair down as I wandered towards the object of my desires. At least I did before I once again stopped and looked at that brush that had teased me for so long. I wanted to destroy it soooooo bad but I had to take something before I did. So I simply plucked a single flower before completely vaporizing the damn thing with a wave of my left hand which had a soft golden hue surrounding it as I completely and utterly purged the hell spawn of Satan. There would certainly be one sad gardener in the morning. Now that I had two of the most frustrating things I had ever dealt with... dealt with. I turned my cold gaze towards the night eclipsed castle and once again strolled towards, tucking the flower above my left ear, before promptly leapt into the air just about clearing the castle in a single bound. I caught myself quickly on one of the spires which overlooked a more beautiful personal garden of both of the princesses of the castle. Apparently the wedding, which I had learned about from the guards patrolling the gardens at the time of the attack, was still in full swing or at least had reached the after party stages. At the center was the bride and the groom who seemed to be dancing rather awkwardly to the rather catchy song about love being in bloom or some shit, which was promptly being sung by a purple unicorn. Now how was I supposed to get their attention... Oh wait, I know! My hand left hand traveled to the space in front of me, the golden hue once again enveloping both the bangle and my hand as I laughed to myself. "ZETTA!" I screamed, eyes from down below quickly glanced up at my way, two particular sets going almost as wide as dinner plates as they saw the wicked sight of my toothy grin. "BEAMMMMMM!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, the alabaster princess quickly leaping to save both the pink pony and the apparent Dj from being completely vaporized into dust as the beam quickly met the amplifiers and turn table. I could only giggle to myself like a Japanese anime school girl as nothing remained of the spot and a bit of smoke was erupting from Celetia's tail which apparently didn't quite made it all the way through the beam. Sadly she had been able to save both of the mares from their impending doom, both of which were curled into quivering balls against her body, but once again her tail had promptly caught on fire which was quickly being stamped out in a quick blur by the purple unicorn. To this I merely waved my left hand to them as I smiled widely down to them. "Celestia and Luna, I'm Baaaaaaaccccckkkkk!" > Chapter Four - How to make a Scene > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- So my actions at this point would more than likely paint a rather negative review in the eyes of the multitude of ponies that dotted the private royal gardens of Pretty Pony Princess Castle, or Canterlot Castle for short. Just a way to make rather long stories short... I was being a gigantic dick at this point. I mean, here I am hanging onto one of the many spires of said castle, having not only assaulted a rather famous dj but also one of the bearers of the Elements of Harmony and even one of the oldest beings of Equestria. The one who has ruled the very lands that we stood on beside her autistic lovely sister. Saying that the looks that both of the sisters were giving me right now was that of pure hatred would have been the most massive understatement of the century millennium myr. In fact if looks could kill I would have been a massive bloody mess on the spire on which I rested upon as both of their eyes were practically burning with such eternal hatred that it caused my own eyes to peer off to the party goers. Once my gaze had turned to just one of the multitude of, likely snobby, ponies they all seemed to scream at once and began to gallop about practically destroying the garden at this point. Oh man I felt so sad for that poor old gardener at this point that I could almost feel a tear drop coming to my right eye. That single manly tear materialized as I realized that the poor old coot was probably going to spend hours crying over the damage to what was years of hard work. I slowly wiped said tear away as the grounds cleared, both the bride and groom having flown the coop with the rest of the rather pathetic party goers that likely didn't have any special bullshit going for them. All that remained at this point was the two pretty pony princesses, a purple unicorn who looked like she was every letter of the word autistic, an alabaster unicorn who looked like some hoity-toity cunt, the cyan pegasus from a year ago who still looked as much of a dyke as she was before, some hick-looking orange earth pony with a retarded stetson on her head, the quivering pink glob of an earth pony beneath Celestia and the other unicorn which also cowered under Celestia's form. I couldn't help but believe that all these ponies were damn retarded at this point even if they did have some sort of special prowess going for them. The first one to react in any sort of way was the dyke who was barreling towards me through the air at break neck speeds. "How dare you try to hurt Pinkie Pie!" I heard her call out, a shout of 'No!' coming from Celestia from below as I allowed my form to graciously swing around the spire before bringing up my right hand with a wide and care free smile. The back of my hand met that cheeky cheek so hard that I swear I felt something give as she seemed to stop for just a split second in mid air as the energy from her flight and my strength both changed her direction in a rather shocking fashion. Her travel time was half as long as the flight to me as she quickly kissed the ground of the garden with a loud bang which shot dirt, grass and various other things such as worms into the air. My own form graciously descending to the ground merely feet away from the surprised group of ponies who looked on in horror at the effect that a simple pimp slap had on their friend. One glance in the direction of the crater revealed a rather disoriented rainbow-maned pony bumbling something about the Wonderbolts finally accepting her. It was obvious that she wouldn't be walking or flying any time soon with the way her legs jutted out in strange directions and both of her wings were snapped half way up their length. "Well I must say... I would have thought that every single one of you would have remained still and not rush blindly towards the unknown figure attempting to ruin such gracious festivities. Well I figure unknown to most of you except for those two." I said, merely gesturing to the two princesses, Luna having finally been able to help Celestia back onto her hooves as the one DJ pony quickly scurried away from the scene and the pink one moving to the group of five and the one in the crater. "Despotes... I never knew that you would ever be able to break free from your stone prison, but I guess much like Discord's escape the bond that me and my sister once had, had finally worn off and allowed you to break free." Celestia said, her glare still on her face as he gave Luna just a single nudge causing the dark blue mare to move merely a step from her, both lowering into a sort of combative stance towards me. I merely responded by placing both of my hands up into the and shrugging one of my shoulders at them. "Celestia... Luna... Why must you give me some sort of estrange pet name such as Despotes? I could have sworn that I had my own name much like both of yourself and I am sure these fine mares have as well." I said, gesturing towards the small group of regular ponies, five of six were currently staring in my direction with eyes full of disbelief. "What would that name be? If you don't mind me asking." The Autistic Unicorn asked, my lips pulling up to a little grin as I merely shook my finger towards her as if scolding her for asking such a thing. "It is rather rude to ask for some one else's name without offering your own in the beginning. Though I will sedate that strange curiosity that you seemed to have. My name is Zetta the Most Badass Fucking Overlord in the Entire Cosmos," I said, cutting off my sentence as I turned my gaze to the sky while waving my right hand skywards as if making a point to the group and the princess. "And rightful ruler of the lands of Equestria." At that moment it was as if I had been standing directly in the center of a set of train tracks like a damn idiot staring at the sky as I had found myself rocketed across the garden and directly through a wall by a beam which had a strange color of a mix between gold and gray. I was at this point sitting in the wreckage of the wall, rolling my eyes as best as I could as I blew a single strand of red hair out of my face while shooting a glare towards the princesses. "It's rude to inter-" "HOW DARE YOU SHOW YOUR WICKED FACE TO THE WORLD ONCE MORE YOU DEMON!" Luna said, her loud-as-shit Royal Canterlot Voice ripping the very dirt apart in front of her as the sound of every bit of glass inside of the castle breaking rang out and my fingers shot quickly into my ears as I grimaced. Holy fuck this mare could be god damn loud if she wanted to be. "IT IS ONE THING TO RETURN TO THE WORLD BUT ANOTHER TO ATTEMPT HARM ON THREE OF OUR LITTLE PONIES AND CALL THE VERY FOUNDATION OF EQUESTRIA YOURS!" Luna bellowed, apparently pissed off at something that I had done as she merely watched me slowly pull myself from the destroyed wall in silence after he chorus of nails on a chalkboard, thank me. I merely coughed into my fist before quickly whipping my hair back and forth to make sure that every little bit of cinder and dust was out of it. Such things were really unbecoming to have in your hair and at this point I couldn't help but laugh as the little group of ponies were just sitting there seemingly surprised that I was able to move so easily after being blasted by their rulers. Of course it would take a lot more than just a little bit of petty magic to keep me down. "I guess you are a little right, Luna. It is very bad of me for having reappeared, attempted assault on not only your sister and two ponies but also actually assault a pony and claim Equestria as being mine. I am dreadfully sorry for doing these things and hope that you can forgive me." I said, holding both of my hands out in front of me in a sort of hug motion as both princesses seemed to slowly come from their battle like state. Luna had an almost excited look on her face as it appeared I might be the first person she had reformed since she had returned from being Nightmare Moon. Celestia on the other hand was still a little bit weary as I just stood there with a rather sad look on my face. "Surely we can settle our differences with a simple hug?" I asked, my eyes took on as much of a hopeful appearance as they could with the distinct lack of material. My hands slowly waved, my arms growing slightly larger apart as if beckoning to both of the princesses to come forth and be embraced. It was at this point that their defenses lowered fully and both took, what had appeared to be, a rather hesitant step. Their actions only brought a rather soft smile to my lips for it seemed that both of them have grown weak with the lack of conflict that happened in this day and age. At this point they almost needed to take a double take as I disappeared from view at a blink of the eye only to once again appear directly in front of them. Both of my arms were crossed in front of me in an 'X' like shape before they both lashed out with flat back hands taking both of their cheeks by surprise. D-D-D-Double Pimp Slap! The force for both hits rivaled that of their combined attack as they both soared in opposite directions into walls located on both sides of the garden. Celestia having got a little more distance considering the wall that would be her immediate best friend was a little further away from her than Luna's wall had been. Either way the resulting blast was rather frightening and when I look towards the ponies in front of me, Autismo was sitting there with her lips flapping as if trying to form words. "Though I am not really sorry for that considering you both practically stripped me of my powers, sealed me within stone for a millennia and prayed to Faust that I would never again enjoy the feeling of oxygen in my lungs." I said, my arms slowly crossing behind my back as I saw the group of five split, two quickly rushing to Luna's side and the other three quickly rushing to Celestia. "Princess Luna, are ya'll alright?" The Hick Pony asked, the Princess of the Night merely looked at her before muttering something about the license plate number of the carriage that had hit her royal face across the room. "Princess Celestia!" Autismo shouted, practically by Celestia's side in a split second as the Princess of the Day slowly turned her gaze to her most loyal student before gently nuzzling into her neck as if ensuring the poor purple pony that she was alright. "Twilight you must take your friends and make your way back to Ponyville to get the Elements of Harmony so we might end what could be a very bloody battle before it begins." Celestia whispered into Twilights ear, Twilight merely staring ahead with tear filled eyes before she quickly blinked them away and smiled with conviction. "Come on girls we need to get back to Ponyville on the double! Applejack get Rainbow Dash and let's go!" Twilight commanded, leading the charge of the five ponies, plus one knocked out one, through the doors of the garden and surely to where ever this Ponyville was. I couldn't care less about what ever might be in this Ponyville that they would completely flee the scene for as I was much too busy with the current leaders of Equestia. Both mares slowly pulled themselves from the wreckage as they slowly limped their way from the holes in the walls back into the garden which only caused my eyes to slowly turn to them and a grin to appear on my lips as my more sadistic side slowly came out. "Well will you look at that! Here I thought that with that childish baby slap both of you would have been down for the count and I could finally take my place as ruler of Equestria!" I shouted, throwing my head back as I let loose a rather wickedly evil 'Mwahahahaha' into the air which only seemed to cause both mares to grimace as it seemed that they had developed a tick for the rather common maniacal villain laugh . My blank gaze once again returned to Celestia as my facial features turned rather mean for a moment. "Though it's a good thing that you were able to walk it off since I still need to ask some questions before I got rid of you both." I muttered, my hands slowly uncrossing from my back which only caused both mares to go into a defensive stance as I slowly raised my left hand up and proceeded to rub my chin. "I am rather curios on where my sword has gone... It was the only rare artifact that you were able to pry from my form before I became stone. Can't really have full power till I have it back." I said, my gaze never leaving Celestia as that rather smug grin of her own appeared on her face. "It's in a place that not even you dare to extend your grasp. Though I will never tell you where I hid it." Celestia said, that rather smug grin only seemed to widen as a disgusted look took over my face. "Good me, man. Please tell me that it isn't where I think it is!" I said, my eyes wide with terror at the implied possibility on where my sword could have ended up. "Oh you would be rather surprised at where I could hide things." She responded, that smug grin only seemed to grow wider as if ready to touch from one end of her face to the other. "Dear me, there is no way that I am even going close to your sun!" I shouted, throwing my arms up into the air which only seemed to cause Celestia's eyes to widen in surprise while Luna merely watched the strange conversation that was taking place. "Wait... How did you find out I hid it in my sun?!" Celestia responded, her tone full of shock as her facial features displayed the shock at how quickly I had came across the hiding place of my sword. "Huh? Are you thinking about the same sun that I am thinking of?" I asked, my arms slowly crossing in front of my body as I tilted my own head to the side slightly, my eyes slowly closing into a glare as I tapped an impatient foot on the ground as if expecting an honest answer from the pony. "U-U-Uh, yeah! It's actually hidden in the sun you are thinking of!" Celestia said, her voice cracking as her face seemed to take on a more rose tone of color from it's usual alabaster tone. Luna at this point could only stare at her sister with her eyes wide open and her mouth seemingly equally as opened as them. Despite her dark fur you could almost see it darken around her cheeks as she seemed quite embarrassed with what Celestia might be implying. "Cause I can't help but think that you are thinking of the sun that I am not thinking of..." I said, my voice full with doubt as I began to rub my chin in thought as it seemed that Celestia might be hiding something from me despite her rather convincing reaction to what I myself might be implying. "N-N-Nope! Definitely is! Definitely is the sun you are thinking of!" She shouted, her voice seemingly going up one more octave at this point as it really began to crack as that rose color only seemed to extend over her entire form while her face seemed to scrunch up, her eyes began to dart back and forth and she seemed to be sweating quite profusely at this point. I almost wanted to believe her with the way she was acting at this point but I figured that I had to make sure before I went the path that I dared travel. "Huh... Well I better check that other sun before I even dare go near the other, OTHER sun." I said, my eyes quickly turned skyward as I rose both hands into the air to which my right took on a gray hue and my left took on a golden hue. Then slowly with a quick thrust of my right hand the moon quickly shot over the horizon and then with a quick throw of my left hand the sun quickly shot into the center of the sky which caused a wide smile to appear on my face. I merely turned to Celestia once more before I appeared in front of her. My hand slowly slid the flower which had been tucked behind my ear onto her own as I grinned rather massively at her. "TO THE SUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!" I bellowed, thrusting my fists into the sky as I slowly began to rise, gaining speed as I quickly shot up into the clear blue sky away from the Pony Sisters making due course for my destination, the sun. "Horse apples... I forgot that he could do that... Infinite powers of the cosmos and all that..." Celestia muttered, frowning at the small glimmer of a star, which was me, that appeared on the horizon. > Chapter Five - A Little Background > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Canterlot Castle It has been hours since both Luna and Celestia had last seen or even heard a word from the rather tyrannical being who had shot himself directly towards the sun in the sky. Celestia was sitting upon her throne, after her sister had bid her good night, since the sun now hung over the skies of Equestria. Despite it being moved there by a foreign entity, Celestia took it upon herself to take responsibility for it and had opened her day court while going about her usual duties for the day. Hours were quickly ticking away as noble after noble had entered the court to complain about how quickly the sun had been risen to the center of the sky. "It's far too early for day!" "What kind of scheme are you and your sister running!" Their words had been rather hurtful for Celestia as she allowed pony after pony to berate her for rising her sun far too early and far too quickly into the sky. Had this been a millennia ago she would have gladly had many of the nobles executed for harassing her with such hurtful words. A tear had slowly came to her eye as she apologized for the umpteenth time to another irate noble who complained about how their business had to open earlier than usual. It seemed that despite the world having a rather slim perception on time, these ponies were capable of deducing that something was happening with the sun rising, as it had been plowed into their minds with repetition what 'time' the sun rose and what 'time' it would set. Celestia merely released a subtle sigh as the last noble on her rather generous list of irate ponies had finally wandered out of the throne room with a rather violent twitch of their tail and the loud stamping of their hooves against the tile floor. She gave one of the guards next to her throne a gentle wave of her hoof which only caused the single guard to nod. He quickly moved across the throne room, the soft jingling of his armor ringing out as he made it to the doors. He slowly opened them before muttering something to the guards posted outside of the door. Once the order had been made, he once again closed the throne room door before quickly shuffling his way back to the throne side. Both guards merely stared ahead as Celestia slowly went to move from her throne before a rapid knocking came to the doors. "Princess! The Elements of Harmony wish to speak!" A voice called out, the air going silent as Celestia slowly lowered herself back onto her throne and closed her eyes with a gentle nod of her head. "You may let them in, Lieutenant." Her voice called out, the doors seemingly reacting to the call of her voice as they slowly began to slide open, allowing the light from the main entrance window to flood through the doorway. From the doorway six ponies slowly moved into the room, one of the six being pushed along in what appeared to be a wheelchair. It had appeared that Rainbow Dash had sustained so much injury from the fight that she was unable to move on her own for the time being. "Princess we have returned with the Elements of Harmony." Twilight said, all six moving to the base of the throne before slowly bowing down to Celestia who merely nodded to them to rise from the ground. "Thank you, Twilight. I am happy that the six of you were able to return to Ponyville and make it back to Canterlot not only in due haste but with minimal hindrance it seems. Zetta must have completely glanced over the possibility that the six of you were the bearers of the Elements of Harmony." Celestia said, her magenta gaze seemed to take in all six of the ponies before her, a rather small smile slowly spreading across her face. "We ran into minimal hindrance on the path back to Ponyville. The train was the only real reason it took us so long to return to the castle." Twilight spoke, her eyes quickly darting to her friends as each one nodded in response to the comment that she had made about the train being the thing that took most of their time. "That is good... You six might be the only way we can stop what could be one of the most violent moments in history after the discovery of Equestria. The being that we face has powers that are far superior to anything that you six have ever met before. His power rivals both my own and Luna's together in his current state!" Celestia said, slowly sinking into her throne as she released a rather soft sigh into the air. "Had it not been for the Elements of Harmony, we would have never ended his tyranny over two thousand years ago." "Princess, if it might not be so rude to ask. Just who is this Zetta character anyway and why does he claim Equestria for his own?" Twilight asked, her curiosity on the rather strange Minotaur like creature had only be ignited once more at the mention of his tyrannical reign that had been in affect two thousand years ago. As far as she could remember from her encyclopedic like knowledge, there had been no mention of a Zetta in all records of the history of Equestria. "I shall gladly tell the six of you the story behind this terrifying foe, you all will need this knowledge, if you wish to stand any chance against him. Let's start from the beginning..." Some Odd 86,000,024 miles from Equestria's Surface "Well, dear reader of this tale, I thought it would be best to give you a little insight into my own being before I allowed Celestia to taint your views on my royal visage." The red haired tyrant said, his eyes seemed to stare on forever as he allowed him right hand to comb through his hair. Within the deep vacuum of space, his hair seemed to flick into every which direction before he finally turned his gaze towards the sun. "At one point in my life, I was very much like yourself." Zetta said, both of his hands taking on their respective glows of gray and gold as he seemed to weave the very fabric of the tale in his hands. "Though, that point in my life has long since faded away into my memories. Allow me to show it, rather than tell..." Some Odd Millions of Years Ago on Planet Earth "Dylan! Get your ass off of your video games and get dressed so we can make it to the convention on time!" Josh, one of his best friends, called out. Today had been considered a very special day for Dylan, for this was one of the few days that he was going to grace the outside world with his presence. Dylan was the very definition of a social recluse, besides the small amount of friends that he had after Highschool, he had close to no one to really spend time with. As such, when he wasn't at work, he usually found himself just relaxing on his couch at home, playing video games. Out of all the games that he had ever played, nothing was better than Disgaea, to which he owned just about every sequel along side the first game. It was his life, it was his addiction and no it didn't make him violent in the slightest. Damn anti-video game hippies. "Yeah, Yeah, just give me a moment!" Dylan responded in kind, his fingers mashing on his controller as he got into one of the longer boss fights for this game. He wasn't entirely sure what he was doing, just constantly repeating the same command to attack over and over again. One could say he was a skilled tactician, if being one meant just mashing on the x button when ever possible. "Hurry up! We're gonna be late!" Bill shouted, one of Dylan's other friends who had the knack for being a pain in the ass and interrupting Dylan every chance he got. A wide grin spread across Bill's face, his right hand gripping Dylan's costume tightly before he quickly chucked it around the corner. Said costume meeting Dylan's face, which caused him to miss press a button while he screamed like a little girl at the sudden lack of light and force hitting him in the head. YOU DIED, NERD! "SON OF A- DAMN YOU BILL! YOU COST ME OVER THIRTY MINUTES OF A BOSS BATTLE!" Dylan said, shaking his fist in pure, unbridled anger at his friend who merely rolled his eyes at his 'special' friend. "What ever dude, just get dressed so we can head out." Bill said, slipping back around the corner, Dylan merely grumbling in his leave as he stood up and proceeded to drop all his clothing onto the floor. Dylan slowly began to slip his costume on, the outfit matching every detail of his favorite Disgaea character, Zetta. Every inch of fabric groaned, or that might have been Dylan as he laid his head back while he placed his costume contacts in so he lacked any sort of iris or retina. His long red hair, which he had dyed a few days prior, flowed behind him as he took a comb to each strand while spritzing them with the occasional bit of water so he could get every strand to go in every which direction. He had got a kicking deal for the Zetta Sword, the blade being plastic with a few modifications of liquid that made the inside shift in a twilight like color with bits of sparkles to simulate stars. All in all, the sword itself was the most bad ass ensemble of his outfit. Finally, he slipped on both of his golden bangles, both bought directly from Amazon which was pretty cool since he got a kicking deal for these pieces of costume jewelry from the same dealer as the sword. Though, now that he looked at them, he couldn't have helped but noticed that they seemed to glow faintly for a moment. He was about to look at little closer at them before he took a foam, dented, gold baseball bat to the side of the head. "Bill! Can you not go five seconds without hitting me with something?!" Dylan said, obviously pissed off at his friend who merely shrugged at him while shifting around on his golden inline skates, his one free hand adjusting his red cap. "Not sure dude, I think it's just your imagination. Anyway, let's get to the car so we can get there on time." Bill said, turning around on his inline skates, the action itself directing the baseball bat into the side of Dylan's head once more before he skated off. Dylan himself started yelling in anger as he moved out his front door, slamming and locking the door before he jumped into the small white van, which his friend Josh, had procured from his job. Some Odd Millions of Years Ago at Nerd Central on Planet Earth "Man, these bracelets get a little itchy every once in a while." Dylan complained, his wrists rubbing against one another, his eyes looking forward as his one friend skated circles around him while his other calmly walked in front of them. "My feet hurt, it's too loud here, I wanna go home so I can finish that boss fight." Dylan complained, stopping for a moment to stamp his right foot before he was once more met with that accursed bat to the side of the head. "Control your damn bat! It was hitting me every five seconds on the way here!" Dylan said, clenching his fists as Bill merely made a soft pfft noise with his tongue at him. "Was not, you little baby. I had it firmly in my hands the whole time." Bill said, rolling his eyes as he once again tapped Dylan in the side of the head, this action only seemingly spurring him on as he clenched his fists tighter. "I swear to Zetta, I will beat that damn bat out of your hand if it hits me one more time!" Dylan said, his fists white knuckling as the bangles on his wrists seemed to glow softly, his hair shifting very minutely while he 'glared' at his friend. His words only got another resounding 'thwack' which officially broke the last straw. "You son of a-!" Dylan said, his right hand going flat as he swung out, his back hand catching his friend's cheek and proceeded to create a soft rumble, the air seemingly exploding upon contact. His friend didn't fair so well, his eyes going completely white as he was sent flying at almost 90 mph across the room, his body striking a stand before impacting a wall with a wet splat. Dylan himself, stood there, wide eyed at the carnage he just caused as various voices called out in panic. His mouth, flapping like a fish, his hands rising up in front of him, the glowing intensifying on the bangles before another loud boom rang out. This time, he found himself falling through a technicolor portal. The look on Dylan's face, priceless. The high pitched squealing noise he was making, priceless. His normal life as he knew it, forever changed. Some Odd Millions of Years Ago at The Beginning of the Equestrian World A portal opened inside of the world of pure white, the world itself barely in the workings of being made by the two Alicorns who stood next to each other. The portal itself stretched, the squealing noise, which caught the attention of the Alicorns, growing louder in intensity. Before the two of them knew it, a large beast was flung from it, both of his hands curled into fists in front of his squealing mouth and his eyes closed as he began his tearful fly by over the head of the smaller Alicorn. "Mother, what was that?" The young of the two Alicorns asked, her white coat shifting while her red mane seemed to slowly flow in the air behind her. Upon her flank, a quill within an ink well, her teal eyes watching the screaming creature soar into the distance. The older of the two turned her eyes towards the creature, her coat a pitch black with a soft blue for a mane which mimicked the young one's by flowing softly in the non-existent air. "Ah, so he has finally arrived." The Mother said, her mane stretching, wrapping around the flying beast which stopped him instantly. His screams on the other hand, didn't stop. The Mother quickly reeled him in, pulling him against her massive body while the other Alicorn merely looked on with a raised eyebrow at the sight. "This being shall play an important part in the world, Faust." The Mother said, looking at the beast who had stopped screaming and was now looking towards the massive mare who held him. His eyes full of tears, his hair swaying behind him in the non-existent air, his sword glimmering softly as he was quickly set to the ground. "T-T-Talking horses?!" Dylan screamed, his mouth wide open as he looked towards the much smaller Alicorn, her head only coming up to his groin in height while the other one took up a massive space. "MASSIVE HORSE!" He said, pointing in fear at the larger black mare, who merely rolled her eyes at Dylan. "We are actually ponies and how dare you talk to Mother li-" Faust spoke, trying to correct the beast before a blue tendril of hair slowly shushed her with a quick press to the lips. "Faust is correct, we are both ponies. I am called χάος, but you may call me Mother." The larger mare said, one of her hooves slowly pressing itself to her chest as she bowed her head to Dylan who merely nodded in return. "We wish to know your name as well." Mother said, not so much asking a question but politely demanding a name from Dylan. "I-I am... Zetta." Current Time Above the Sun "Well, I would say that prints a nice little picture of my past and how I came to end up in magical pony land." Zetta said, the twirling of hands stopped which caused the faint 'mirror' which projected the past to close. His eyes turned towards the sun once more, his hands clenching at his sides before he held them out in front of himself. "Dear reader, I feel that our time to get to know one another has come to an end, so I shall allow you to return to the story, to allow your mind to be tainted by Celestia." Zetta said, his eyes staring over his shoulder, staring at nothing in general before the soft gray and gold glow returned to his hands once more. The sun seemed to flicker softly as massive tendrils began to slowly comb and prod at it in search of his sword. Canterlot Castle "This is the tale of how Luna and I stumbled across the creature known as, Zetta..." > Chapter Six - Celestia's Tale Part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Six Thousand Years Ago "Sister, thou should control thine temptations for the sweets. They have made thine form soft and pliable." Luna laughed, her graceful form skipping ahead as the older alicorn followed directly behind her. Luna's form was much more different than what most ponies of today would have though. While she still retained her overall height difference to the olden tribes, her form was much more 'soft' in appearance. Her mane wasn't ethereal in nature as it was only a very light azure color, her coat being of a dry blue and her eyes were a much brighter cyan. To say that the younger alicorn was beautiful would have surely been an understatement of the century. "Sister, thou should control thine tongue before we control it for thee." Celestia said, a slight frown now adorn upon her face as she followed after the giggling mare at her moderate pace. Celestia, much like her sister, was a lot different in olden times as she also lacked the ethereal mane which was iconic of her visage. Instead, it was replaced by a mane of pale heliotrope, her eyes much brighter and filled with youth and her coat was that of a pure alabaster. Her very form was that of pure divinity. "We art merely joking with thee for thou lag behind us." Luna said, a soft smile gracing her face as she stopped and allowed her sister to move up to her side. The very sight of a smile upon the young alicorn's face warmed Celestia's heart and that slight frown slowly turned into a smile as she caressed her little sister's face with a nuzzle. "We know thou art merely joking but pray tell-" Celestia said, pausing for merely a brief moment as she allowed her neck to rotate, her magenta eyes taking in the surrounding area before returning to Luna once more. "What are we doing in this accursed place?" Celestia asked, her right hoof raised from the ground as she gently shook off the muck which clung to it. "That is easy, Sister. We are exploring the lands of Equis before we reveal ourselves to our little ponies. We cannot rule the lands if we know nothing of it. This forest like area is strange for it seems to care for itself." Luna said, allowing her right hoof to exaggeratedly present the strange forest to Celestia. The forest itself was an enigma within the realms of Equis for most of nature was tended to by either the ponies or various races which lived within their predetermined districts. This forest, on the other hand, seemed to care for it's own as the weather would rage dramatically for a moment before peacefully giving way to the sun light. Plants grew wildly and the animals of the forest hunt one another for nourishment. These reasons were reasons enough to keep many of creatures from attempting to forage the land. Griffons had tried multiple times to take hold of this forest but many were met with grim fates at the hands of the creatures that lurked within the forest. "Strange, thou speaketh as though thou hath been here before." Celestia said, giving her little sister a firm glare which was only met with a rather sheepish look in response. "We might have wandered through a few times before, alone." Luna responded, a light blush touching her cheeks as she turned away from her sister and began to slowly stroll through the underbrush. Luna's response had only earned itself an exaggerated groan from the elder of the two, who began to follow after the younger. To think that her younger sister would just blatantly risk her life at the hands of this estrange forest, it was slightly unthinkable. At least, until Luna had blatantly said she had, only moments ago. Their journey through the forest began, hooves meeting the occasional pile of muck which littered the forest floor, eyes darting towards the shadows as shapes weaved through the endless sea of trees, ears swiveling to pick up the occasional sound of twigs snapping. The entire forest was ghastly in appearance, at least up until they wandered into a strange enigma that certainly shouldn't have been there. After a few hours of wandering the forest, they happened upon a strange piece of architecture that shouldn't have been within this type of area. Said architecture was that of an olden castle, pieces of brick littering the grounds around the gate and tattered pieces of banners hung along the outside of the wall. Only two banners remained of the seemingly endless amount which had once covered the wall, both were blood red in design and both featured the black outline of a blade pointing down towards the ground. The air was eerily cold, almost as if the sun itself dare not touch this forsaken palace. Where Celestia's nerves told her to turn back, Luna apparently had different ideas. "Sister, this is amazing! Never before hath our eyes fallen upon such architecture! It looks absolutely ancient!" Luna called, her voice full of excitement as her hooves gently touched at the brick and mortar. It seemed that where Celestia would naturally turn away, Luna's curiosity was peaked. She began to slowly stroll forward, her form pushing past the broken down gate way which lead towards the inner workings of the castle. Celestia could only raise a hoof at her sister, a scared look in her eyes as she called out to Luna. "Sister, maybe this isn't such a good idea. The structural integrity might not be sound. We should leave at once!" Celestia called, pulling out the big cards at this point as she tried to get Luna to turn around and leave this place. A soft voice at the back of her head told her that this place was something that they shouldn't mess with. Instead, Luna's curiosity only seemed to flourish as her tip toeing towards the inner workings of the castle only seemed to grow into a swift trot as she disappeared into the darkness. Celestia could only scrunch her muzzle in irritation, a hoof pawing at the ground before she took off at a brisk trot to catch up to her sister. 'If only I had tried harder to convince Luna to leave that place be...' "Sister, this is truly magnificent! Never before hath mine eyes taken in something so, magical." Luna said, her breath was short as she and her sister slowly trotted into what appeared to have once been a throne room. The place was now barren, losing itself to the elements as bits of moss and many other plant life sought to reclaim the area. Upon the wall across from them, a massive stone door rested and depicted the shape of the sun and the moon upon it's flat surface. The entire area was encased in runes which were carved deeply into stone. Next to the door rested two statues, one which took the form of various parts of creatures put into one and the other was of a large centaur like creature. Something warning her that they should leave, a soft voice in the back of her mind telling her to run. "We hath explored enough, Luna. Let us leave so we may plan for our entry into the po-" Celestia's eyes went wide as a shrill scream rang out from her sister. It seemed, that while Celestia had decided to speak, Luna had wandered onto a particular rune which depicted a crescent moon surrounded by a circle. Once she had wandered atop the rune, a sort of barrier had surrounded the Alicorn, lifting her into the air as tendrils of magic nipped at her horn. "Luna!" Celestia screamed, running towards her sister before a sense of weightlessness overtook her form. She had found herself atop the sun rune, the magic which vibrated in the air took hold of the poor mare and lifted her much like it had done to her sister. It was then that she felt the rune tugging at her magic, siphoning it from her horn and into the ground beneath her. Slowly, the circles which encompassed the sun and moon filled until bursting and began filling the rest of the runes within the room. Both mares screamed out in agony, their forms contorting in the air as light filled every rune within the room and the air seemed to vibrate violently with magic. It was then that the moon and sun upon the doors lit up, much like the runes, and a soft click rang out within the room. At the sound of the click, both mares were dropped to the floor, their hooves pawing softly at the ground as they lost every sense of balance which naturally came to them. There was a soft hiss and the sound of stone rubbing against stone filled the room. Both pair of Alicorn eyes attempted to look forward, watching the door slowly swing outwards and revealed another room, this one being completely white in nature. Their eyes focused at the object which was contained within the room, a massive throne which a strange creature rested upon. It's hair flowed within the ethereal winds and it's fingers began to tightly grip at the arm rests of the throne. It seemed to grumble to itself softly, it's eyes slowly opening to reveal nothing but white and it's muzzle seemed to pull back into a toothy grin as it slowly stood from it's throne. It was massive in size, easily towering over the two Alicorns as it released a soft chuckle that only seemed to evolve into a straight out evil laugh. "Looks like I am back! This time Equis shall belong to me, Zetta!" Zetta called out, his hand gripped at the sword which rested against his throne and he began his walk from the room. Slowly the doors closed behind him, his head nearly touching the ceiling of the gigantic room. It's empty eyes seemed to scan the room, falling upon the two weakened Alicorns, which it seemed to ignore, before falling on the two statues which waited at both sides of the door. "Wake up you two bumbling fools! We have much to do and many things to change." Zetta said, a single hand waved across the two statues which caused the stone to slowly crumble off of the two forms. "Ah, it certainly feels nice to stretch one's back after such a long imprisonment." The mixed up creature said, it's talon and pawed hands snapping against one another as it seemed to snap every single bone inside of it's body before it bowed to the creature which towered over it. "Argh! I still can't believe that accursed Alicorn was able to get through the defenses! How dare she trap me within stone for so long!" The centaur roared, it's front hooves smashing into the bricks in anger as a soft chuckle only seemed to leave Zetta's lips at the sight of his frustration. "Taking out your anger on the stone floor certainly wont change a thing. I think it is time that we once again make ourselves known to the creatures of this land. I mean, I only helped make everything. I think it is only natural that one of the creators gets to rule everything. Is that not right, Discord and Tirek?" Zetta said, chuckling soft at his two commanders as he slowly trekked across the room, flat out ignoring the two Alicorns on the floor. "Zetta what would you like us to do with these two alicorns? Certainly you would wish to rid the world of any sort of obstacles?" Discord asked, his talon like hand taking hold of Celestia's mane while Tirek did the same to Luna. Both mares could only groan in pain as both of the commanders lifted their heads from the floor. "Leave them both. As much as it would hurt poor Faust's feelings, I feel it is better to let them live within the world for which I will rule." Zetta said, mindlessly twirling is right hand in the air next to his head as he continued his trek down the hall and towards his new kingdom. 'We were lucky that he spared us both... Had he decided otherwise Equestria, no, Equis would have been changed forever.'
