"Hello, all. I've gathered you here today to discuss something very important. That is, of course, the course of action that we must take to take over Equestria. I've also gotten your district assignments ready, and we just need to wait for things to fall into place," League Leader Tirek said.
"Yes, and when, exactly, are we going to do this?" King Sombra asked, tapping his hoof on the table.
"When the time is right. Patience is important here, if we want to defeat the princesses, we can't just go in blind. My connections in the castle tell me that Sunset Shimmer and her new allies are quite the force to be reckoned with," Tirek said.
"Well, my hive needs food, and we aren't going to get that soon enough if we wait. Half of my hive will starve to death!" Queen Chrysalis slammed her hoof down hard.
"Yes, and waiting's no fun! I've done my waiting! A... whole lot of years of it! In stone! I want to get out there, get a social life, wreak chaos, not mope around in this cave!" Discord said.
"I understand where you're coming from, Chrysalis. You need to feed your hive. I understand that. But you aren't going to be a good leader when you're dead, and going in blind is certain death. As for you, Discord, we've gone over this before. You get your own Chaos Capital of Equestria when we're in charge! Actually, onto that part," Tirek paused to pull a map from his saddlebag.
"Here we are. A map of Equestria," Tirek said, "Chrysalis, you first. You are to begin integrating your changelings around Equestria in exactly two moons. Focus on Ponyville, Canterlot, Las Pegasus, Manehattan, and Fillydelphia. Send your best to Manehatten and Canterlot. Manehattan is where Sunset and her little group live, and, well, Canterlot has the princesses. The point here is to let them grow strong off of love for a while, before we attack. As for names and backstories and the likes, let them come up with their own. Sure, there's going to be the occasional Tonic Tomato from the badlands, but it's not worth the effort to go over every changling's alter ego,".
"Where will they stay?" Chrysalis asked.
"I've had some friends and allies set up bases for them under bars, underground, in houses and such. We are prepared to house several thousand changelings across Equestria," Tirek grinned.
"And what of after our invasion?" Chrysalis asked.
"Ah, I'll get to that. Now, Sombra. You aren't going to be going alone, so I've decided to get a couple of griffons to go with you. You're going to head back to your good old Crystal Empire. The last people who tried to penetrate the protection spell that Nightmare Moon put up before she went into hiding actually got through... Princess Cadence and Prince Blueblood, I think? Anyway, Cadence got annoyed with Blueblood and left him to run the kingdom on his own. He's not very good at... Well, running a kingdom, so the Crystal Empire is on the brink of destruction. With just a little push, it'll be toppling down. Now, I want you and your griffons to capture Blueblood and bring him to me. The changelings will go and capture civilians in the while we interrogate him. I get answers, I drain his magic, you get to do whatever you please with him. Kill him for all I care," Tirek said.
"Good. That sounds good. I get to see the griffons first though," Sombra said.
"Reasonable. Alright then, we'll arrange a meeting with them after this," Tirek said.
"Ooh, me next, right?" Discord asked, grinning.
"Yes, yes. Discord. While Sombra is taking over the Crystal Empire, you, Queen Chrysalis, and an army of changelings will hit as many towns as possible. Manehattan, Ponyville, Vanhoover. Capture as many ponies as possible. Also, while in Manehattan, can you two pay Sunset and her friends a visit for me?" Tirek asked.
"We'll give them your regards," Discord smiled, "But what about my Chaos Capital of Equestria?".
"Well, I'm getting to that-" Tirek was cut off.
"Wait. What are you going to do?" Sombra asked.
"Well, I'm taking Canterlot and their snobby nobles. Of course, the real prize is the princesses..." Tirek said.
"What if I wanted to have my fun with the princesses?" Discord asked.
"Oh, you will. I'll be bringing them back here. Chrysalis can take Cadence, Discord, you can take Celestia and Luna. Once you're done, just send them on to Sombra to have them executed," Tirek grinned.
"What are we going to do with the hostages?" Sombra asked.
"Interrogate them. See if they're important. See if they know anything. See if we can hire them. If not, they get taken to prison. Canterlot has a rather large one..." Tirek trailed off.
"So does the Crystal Empire," Sombra said.
"Yes, yes, bla bla. But my Chaos Capital of Equestria!" Discord said, exasperated.
"Yes, you will get to take Ponyville as the Chaos Capital," Tirek said.
"Ooh, I hear that the wildlife's fantastic there!" Discord grinned.
"Chrysalis. The South is yours. Appleloosa, Dodge City, and the badlands sound good to you?" Tirek asked.
"Hmm, close to my hive. Yes, that sounds good," Chrysalis said.
"One more thing. There are so many changelings. Would it be possible to use them as a military force?" Tirek asked.
"Hmm... Yes, as long as they're well fed," Chrysalis said.
"Good, good. Now, Sombra. You get, of course, the Crystal Empire. You also get ownership of Vanhoover, Baltimare, Fillydelphia, and Neighagra Falls," Tirek said.
"Alright," Sombra nodded.
"I'll be taking Canterlot as my main base of operations, but will also visit Manehattan and Las Pegasus Frequently. Cloudsdale will become a prison for war prisoners. Now, what are we all still here for? We should be preparing," Tirek said. The others nodded.
"Shall I send out a party to search for Moonbutt?" Chrysalis asked.
"No need. She'll come on her own when we're ready," Tirek said.
"Goodbye, Tirek," Sombra said, leaving the table. The others soon followed suit.
"Hah, a villain group... Still one of my best ideas... What kind of an idiot would rush in alone?" Tirek laughed.
