There are only six villains left in the entire world. Queen Chrysalis, Lord Tirek, Cozy Glow, King Sombra, the dread Grogar, and the Spirit of Malice and Madness known as Cosmos. All others have been reformed, seeing the light and embracing Harmony. Twilight Sparkle, ruler of Equestria, and her friends have decided to send these villains to a school where they can be reformed.
I'm sure that nothing else is going on.
...Right?
OMFG. SOMBRA IS KRIEG.
Sombra invented ad executives?! He really IS evil!
So, why is Cinch here but not Sunset?
I think you have one of Cinch's lines backwards. She says "I'm not a human, I'm a unicorn", but don't you mean the other way around?
I've never seen Sombra portrayed as a foul-mouthed jackass with no sense of dignity before. That's certainly a different take on the character.
No Trixie?
I like this. I really do, I mean, Fluttershy isn't the bravest pony ever, but some people tend to blow her fears out of proportion. THIS however, is perfectly understandable. Most people would be scared about having the magical equivalent of a gun pointed at you.
Sounds like me with trolls.
Well, Fluttershy IS rather motherly and mothers are good at telling when you're lying.
OK, we have Lightning Dust, Flim and Flam, Suri, Discord, Starlight, and a pony whom I don't recognize.
Well well, Tirek. One thing though, Tirek's eyes are yellow.
No, nor do I want to.
Well well, if it isn't the walking TKAM reference. To Kill a Mockingbird I mean. For those who don't get it, her name, Abacus Cinch, is a direct reference to the main character of Mockingbird Atticus Finch.
Saw?
A nigh unstoppable reality warping chimera that happens to be Chaos in physical form. He also has a penchant for mind games.
OK, when Discord's worried, you know something's bad. Also, wouldn't it be somepony?
Dang it Discord, how am I supposed to be funny if you do it for me?
Agreed.
Eh, technically, Caballeron just works for Ahuizotl, just a mercenary. Ahuizotl however, eh, probably got some reason.
Even the lies?
Especially the lies.
This is easily the most hilarious Sombra I have ever witnessed. You win the entirety of the goddamn Internet.
That's actually clever. Kudos.
But, but, they're catchy!
Nitpick, all. You accidentally spaced between a and the double L.
A little insane, that, actually explains it. Why she acted so over the top compared to her more subdued attitude before.
It IS his shtick.
Most are.
Ad executives? Sombra you monster!
This is going to be utterly horrific or hilarious, there's no in between wit hiim.
Hilarious!
(Man this was a good laugh. On a side note, I tend to avoid horror like the plague as a whole, however, I've decided for one, screw it. You're worth it. Looking forward to next time, this is ShadowLDrago, signing out.)
this is amazing my only small problem is there is no trixie or sunset or alternate twilight or luna or blueblood or gilda or the dazzlings or babs seed in short there could so many more villains and alternate villains
6979332
6979302 Both Sunset and Trixie have already been reformed.
Also, do I sense some Bioshock in here?
6979876 So are Discord and Starlight, but they're there.
6979623 Trixie has apologized for all of her actions, Sunset Shimmer has had 2 whole movies to show that she's a good guy now, Alternate Twilight caved under pressure, was not really at fault, and was deeply regretful, Blueblood had not had a major antagonistic role is just a dick, Babs Seed had her redemption at the end of her introductory episode, and Luna has been reformed for pretty much the entire show. Gilda and the Dazzlings would have been good students here, though.
6979302
Yeah, no kidding.
LMAO, I nearly spit out all my soda at the monitor, dammit! Sombra is HI-FREAKIN' LARIOUS!!! Ugh! Now this is one more story I haveta stalk, lol!
6979876
Sunset, yeah, but I am not so sure regarding Trixie... she showed up hours later to apologize, and still tried to self-aggrandize while she was doing it. I don't think she's a villain anymore, exactly, but then, I don't think Suri Polomare is a villain either. She's a plagiarist, but I'm sure that Equestria is full of ponies who steal ideas from others and mistreat their employees, but because they don't run afoul of the Elements of Harmony, they're not considered villains. Trixie, on the other hand, enslaved and abused an entire town. And if Starlight Glimmer and Discord are both here, why not Trixie?
Sunset I agree with; she's proven herself adequately by fighting on the heroes' side twice and defeating bad guys herself. She could be a teacher, though. Gilda was never a villain in the first place, and has made up with Dash and Pinkie, so there's no reason for her to be here. Likewise, Diamond Tiara and Blueblood were never villains, just jerks; Nightmare Moon is gone and Luna has demonstrated her bona fides for years now; and Alternate Twilight is no more a villain than our Twilight was for bespelling an entire town to be obsessed with a toy. She had a breakdown, she went a bit crazy, she got over it shortly. Admittedly Alt Twilight's actions were more dangerous than making an entire town obsessed with a toy, but on the other hand, she had exactly zero training on how to deal with magic. So I agree that none of those characters should be present. (Though Luna, like Sunset, could also be a teacher.)
But Trixie... well, I have my suspicions regarding Trixie. The fact that she was the kind of mare in the first place who would be so obsessed over defeating someone who "humiliated" her by SAVING HER LIFE tells me she is probably in the Discord category of someone whose personality will lead them to continue to do bad things unless they get much more specialized attention and education in maintaining their reformation... training Discord is getting, from Fluttershy, but Trixie is not.
6979883 Starlight was brought in I assume as an example of a 'properly reformed' villain. Discord's there for sh*ts and giggles.
6979891 ok i'll agree with blueblood not going but discord and starlight are already "reformed" but are still going to this school thing
6979964 Discord is there to see how things play out and also annoy Twilight, and Starlight just begun her redemption.
6979919 To be fair, Trixie was under the influence of a mind-altering artifact when she enslaved Ponyville. When she didn't have the Amulet on, she didn't really do anything dangerous. Keep in mind that it was Snips and Snails, not Trixie, who woke the Ursa Minor. Trixie by herself just has an ego, not much else.
6979623 Everyone who is attending this school was picked for a reason.
So is this going to be like St. Olga's Reform School for Wayward Princesses?
Don't you have enough stories to finish already?
6980205 Absolutely not. :3
6980275 I know, I know. But sometimes an idea just occurs to me and I have to write it down or I go nuts.
6980300
What they do such great work there?
One Princess went from wanting to murder someone because they made friends with her friend, to being a prime and proper princess... too bad her best friend then had to undo all the school's hard work. :-)
6980305 you still have great stories that needs updates you know
walking nightmare
6980348 This story's a little different.
6980352 I'm well aware of that, thank you. *grumpy*
Oh my god.

Sombra.
I'm dying.
PFFFT
6979332 Whoops! Thanks for noticing that mistake in Cinch's dialogue.
Interestingly enough I'm surprised that Sunset, Human Twilight, the Dazzlings and Trixie aren't here. Sunset and Trixie could be examples of fully reformed villains and teachers and Trixie could also be an example of the good you can do if you try even if life screwed you over repeatedly. Seeing how she helped out the police at one point with a jewel heist, showing life is getting better for her.
Human Twilight, an example of what NOT TO DO when it comes to magic and power as well as learning to control it better. She might not be a villain but she could learn to control her awaken magic especially if she can go Midnight Sparkle at will now without losing control of herself.
The Dazzlings, well they could be dying now. This reformation school could help save them from starvation if they feed on positive emotions. Not to mention better themselves and restore their singing abilities for the right reasons.
What does Chrysalis mean by "former" queen of the changelings? Is there a new one now?
6983009 In this story, the hive turned on her and deposed her after things went badly in Canterlot.
6983221 Huh, very admirable that she's still trying to help them even after that.
Hilarious first chapter, Sombra is so delightfully psychotic. And of course Chryssie is awesome as always.
OMG MORE
Looking forward to the next chapter, this is fucking hilarious XD
This is cool, I like the way this might go.
Also sombra...
This is halarious. I would love to see more.
Also sombra...
I love how all these villians are described as n'er do wells. It's like saying Josef Stalin was kinda mean.
Also funniest Sombra I've seen in a while.
Question: Update?
Ah...Sombra, what a riot he is, bit surprised he didn't notice Spike. Great job, can't wait to read more.
Everyone wants more!
I LOVE THIS!!! YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE.
Considering what happened in season 9, I would say that if the show was for older audiences than this sombra will be spot on.
WHY THERE IS NO SECOND PART ):
I see you three haven't changed a bit.
Only partially?
Uh, I think you mean since evolved in power.
You're pedantic is what you are.
Oh?
Sonata Dusk.
Aria Blaze (who's name has never been spoken on-screen.)
And Adagio motherfucking Dazzle.
Surprisingly pragmatic.
So it would seem.
Wouldn't it be Tartarus?
Why write Sombra so out of character?
10324730
Because when I wrote the original version of the first chapter, Sombra didn't HAVE any character yet beyond CRYYYYYYYYSSSSSSSSSTAAAAAAAAAALS. When he appears again, he'll be more in line with his season 9 persona.
The funny will be going to Cosmos. Ignore the chapter marked Convocation, it has nothing to do with the current version of the story.
An interesting start. It will be nice to see where this will be going. Nice to see those three finally getting the chance and help they deserve.
I dont think there needs to be a since before the evolved part.
That is quite impressive.
Not sure why they didn't try similar methods with the other villains.
Huh after 4 years also when is the next
... This doesn't have frighteningly strong Stepford vibes, not at all.
Stay sharp, Chryssie, and bide your time.
'aged appeared' - appearance
'weekend changeling' - weakened
"down at grabbing' - and
Is Svengallop going to be in this? Because if there ever was one pony who could match Sombra in evil, then it would be him.
Invested now to see where this goes 👀
I always love seeing how the (ex) Legion of Doom interact with each other and the mere idea of redemption offered to them. I sense fun chaotic shenanigans will ensue.
10327966
I was thinking "Invasion Of The Body Snatchers", but same general idea.
