Story
Fluttershy sits on a chair around a table, sipping on some nice herbal tea. She sighs contentedly, sitting the cup on the saucer. She looks up. "Now. Do you all know why you're here?" She asks.
"Because the puny ponies believe they can tame me with friendship like they did my brother and they are sorely mistaken." Tirek growls, wrinkled, old, and small.
"Now, Tirek. I understand your feelings toward your brother are difficult. Friendship can be a wonderful thing. I can give you an example right now. Would you like to talk about how you felt when Scorpan left you that day?"
"No." Tirek huffs.
"I agree with Lord Tirek. What use is friendship when one can just force others to do their bidding?" King Sombra asks.
Fluttershy sighs. "Now, Sombra. Forcing other ponies to do what you want doesn't take into account their feelings. Plus, it makes it more likely other nations will not trade with you!"
"What makes the other nations think I want to trade?!" Sombra shoots back.
"The Crystal Empire is behind all the other nations as it is. If you stop trade, other nations will continue to progress while the Crystal Empire stagnates."
"I must agree with the quiet yellow pony on this point. The best course is to spread your influence all across Equestria and beyond!" Chrysalis grins.
"That isn't what I meant and you know it. Please, Chrysalis. How would you feel if a force came in and tried to take over your kingdom?"
"Let them try!" Chrysalis grins.
"I would take over your little bug kingdom with a fraction of my air ships." The Storm King laughs sharply.
"Bring it on, you no-talent hack. My changelings would have your army upside down before a thunder clap!" Chrysalis sneers.
"Hah. What changelings?! Your hive abandoned you!" King Sombra points out, "see. This is why you force others to do your bidding!"
"Please. Please. Everypony! There are a lot of feelings here. Chrysalis, you may want to talk to your friends here about how it felt to have your children choose to leave you. Sombra, you could tell us about why you want to force ponies to do things. What is your goal? Storm King, you've already had a time where you conquered so many lands and didn't feel happy. Why do you think that is? And Tirek, you seem like you're obsessed with being the strongest. Why is that? Here at the Villain Reform Group, we're going to tackle these questions and so many more." Fluttershy nods, taking another sip of her tea after.
"And what stops us from just taking your power?" Tirek asks.
"Or hanging you upside down and feeding on your love?" Chrysalis wonders.
"Or taking over your mind and forcing you to let us out of this common cottage?" Sombra inquiries.
"That would be… me!" Discord appears with a malicious grin on his face, fingers at the ready for a snap. The villains sit back down with a murmur of frustration.
"I don't know if this will work as well as it did with you Discord. Do you really think I can reform all of them?"
[CHOICE]
How do you think this will end?

> This whole thing shouldn't even be happening. (Hero)
> The Villains will find a way to escape. (Villain)
[ENDING A: CHAOS]
Days come and go and every day The villains find themselves in front of Fluttershy, slowly opening up. "Once I saw my future was being an evil empower, how could I fight it?!" Sombra asks one day to his fellows.
"I do feel you there. It's like, I'm the bad queen for trying to feed my children? How was I supposed to know giving love was more filling than devouring it?!" Chrysalis yells.
"My brother never thought about me. All he thought about was the ponies! We were supposed to rule together but instead he tore our family apart!" Tirek growls.
"I was only following my birthright as king! I'm supposed to take the lands over for rule by any means necessary." Storm King shrugs.
"See, you can all relate to one another in some way. You're building relationships already. Before you know it, you'll be making memories together." Fluttershy smiles.
"It does feel good to get this off of my chest." Sombra noted. Everypony else nods while Fluttershy smiles.
It takes time, but eventually ponies get used to seeing Chrysalis making amends with the changelings, Storm King apologizing to Tempest, Tirek and Discord hanging out, and Sombra going to the Crystal Empire in hopes of forgiveness.

[ENDING B: HERO]
"Yeah. I was really hoping you of all ponies would be able to turn this group around, Fluttershy. Ah, well. You did give it your best shot. It's not your fault they're a bunch of stubborn creatures. Well, back where they were then." Discord holds up a page which glows. The villains disappear, "for what it's worth, I don't see this as a failure on your part, but a failure on theirs."
"What do you mean, Discord?" Fluttershy asks.
"I know better than most how persuasive you can be. I guess there's a lesson to be learned here: no matter how hard you try, some creatures will never change. Honestly, it's their loss. They've just lost out on a great friend."
Fluttershy blushes and Discord gives her the page, "I suppose you'll know what to do with this."

[ENDING C: VILLAIN]
The villains go along with it for a few days, waiting. One day, while Fluttershy drinks a sip of her tea, Sombra sees his moment to strike. He grabs Fluttershy. Discord appears. Sombra shakes his head, "Don't want to accidentally harm your precious pony friend, do you?" His horn glows. Chrysalis unleashes her magic as well. Tirek and the Storm King grab the table, breaking it. The four rush out. They drop Fluttershy by the treeline only once they enter the Everfree Forest and quickly disappear. Discord appears in front of Fluttershy, holding her close to him, anger filling his eyes. He stands to give chase only to be stopped by Fluttershy's crying. He holds her, silently vowing to find the villains back.
The villains laugh along with each other. "You know, I have to say, those ponies are on the right track about one thing. Working together helps you get what you want. What if we continue to work together until we each get our goal?" Tirek asks. "My goal to take all the magic. Chrysalis wants to eat their love, and it seems to me that Storm King wants to rule the land. We could make an accord."
Chrysalis smirks, "I like the way you think."
Storm King nods, "Yes. Not a friendship, but a temporary alliance. That I can get behind."
Together, the three help one another. Tirek takes a pony's power to leave them drained, and as the pony sits trying to recoup some energy back, Chrysalis drains their love. When they finish with the town, the Storm King conquers it. Once Discord re-enters the picture as they knew he would, Sombra overpowers him using mind control and eliminates the threat that he posed to ignoring the dumb yellow pony’s advice!
