//------------------------------// // 3: Dark Domination of Stalie // Story: Evil Always Finds A Way // by Boyzilla //------------------------------// 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!
