Evil Always Finds A Way

2: Starting of Evil

"Sire, evil truly suits you."

A dark, huge figure stood in the mist of the room. Brown minions swarmed him as they each put on a piece of steel armor. The armor gave a look of pure malice and horror, one it's sole reason was to strike fear into the hearts of all those who defied it's wearer. Skulls covered it's plating, indicating the wearer's control over the minions, and a red cape for bad looks. The shoulder blades actually looked like blades spiking outward, the gauntlets were shaped like claws of a monster with a yellow gem that shone will dark energy. Gripped in the figure's right gauntlet lied a huge, and terrifying steel battle ax, designed for balance in combat and a clean edge for chomping someone's head off.

Finally the helmet was placed on his head, it's design covering the figure's face with a cloud of darkness and it's spikes aiming upward giving it an appearance of a malicious crown. The huge figure opened it's eyes, revealing a dark glow of red, the sight of pure evil.

"All hail Discord, the Overlord!" The minion master Gnarl shouted.

Dozens upon dozens of Brown minions praised in joy.

"For the Overlord!"
"Hail the Masta!"
"Masta is back!"

The Jester minion skipped around Discord, then he stopped and said. "I think a little song would make this a horrid day!"

"Oh bother." Gnarl commented.

"A boy was found in Frozen Ice,
Three thousand years since his blight,
We minions took him and made him sway,
To evil's side he came way,
Now he is our great Overlord,
Who has tightened his grip on his sword,
And now that the boy is a man,
He will damn all those he can!"

"Sorry sire for listening to that, I'll be sure to beat on him for it." Gnarl said.

Discord smiled in his helmet, then he looked toward Gnarl for advise.

"Now it's time for you to bring back the black! To unleash the dogs of war! Hahaha, I feel the land quaking in fear already." Gnarl turned to the now Overlord Discord. "Now sire, sit upon your throne and feel the energy coursing through you!"

Discord stepped up the small staircase, each step resounding in a dark, metallic, thunk. He lied upon his throne, the dark energies coursing through him. The tower shook, and in the lands above, earthquakes appeared, ruins uncovered, ponies sought shelter, and all over Alicornia, every citizen thought a single thing.

'What is happening!?'

"Evil is back! And the lands of light shall fear your wrath! Nothing can stop an Overlord, delay them yes, but never prevent their birthright! It's your time master, Domination or Destruction of the Alicornia Kingdom!" The devoted servant of darkness shouted with glee, his hands turning to fist as she shouted it all.

---

Discord the Overlord, stepped through a tunnel and exited the cave. After a shine of blinding light, he reopened his eyes to see the landscape before him.

A lush land, filled with green grass and beautiful flowers, trees covering parts of the fields in all the right places, and a coursing river flowing through the land

"Hello, testing! Is this thing working? It's a bit dusty. Ah, there you are! As I told you before in your tutoring, your helmet allows me to speak with you. Ugh, this land gives me the frizzes, it's so colorful and lovely, it's disgusting! Try not to inhale it my lord.""

Discord snickered at his adviser's comment, he then spotted Grubby coming out of the ground with a newly built Brown gate. Waving Grubby off, Discord summoned fifth-teen Browns and started to explore the area. He and his minions walked through the sunny forest before finding a forest clearing full of cute fuzzy bunnies.

"Ach, fur-balled vermin! They breed like rats in a hole, but at least they smell better! Go ahead and take their life-force, they don't need it anyway!"

Following his advice, Discord raised his gauntlet toward the bunnies and willed his minions to take their life-force. The minions did just that, bashing the heads of the bunnies and stealing their vital life energy, returning it to their Overlord who absorbed it.

"What do you think your doing!" A strange creature, no wait, it's a pony. Galloped toward them with anger in her face and voice. "How could you do such a thing... What... What are you!?"

"It's one of those filthy horses, but she could prove valuable. Use your evil presence spell on her to subdue her onto your will! Then ask her about the area. Of course, you could always kill her, hehehe.""

"You belong to me now, I am your master." Discord said, striking his hand forward unleashed a torrent of dark blue energy into the head of the pony.

The pony bowed before him. "What is your bidding my master?"

"Tell me about the area." Discord commanded.

"Yes sire, this area belongs to the Alicornia Kingdom, it is majority a farming area, but a town named Stalie is nearby. Also sire, bands of red creatures similar to your brown ones have been rumored to live within the abandoned mineshaft."

"That would be the Reds sire! You'll have to find this mineshaft and bring their hive back to the Nether." Gnarl said.

Mentally agreeing with his minion master, Discord looked down at this pony, what to do with her... He felt the side of evil saying kill her, and his blasted good side saying to spar her, oh now he's got an idea.

"Go to this town of Stalie, spread the word of rebellion against the Alicornia Kingdom, use whatever lies to make sure you succeed." Discord said to the pony.

"It will be as you wish!" She yelled before galloping off.

"Oh, very evil sire! Planting the seeds of rebellion against the Kingdom, thus making our job easier when we- you conquer it and burn it to ashes!"

The Overlord moved through the forest, sweeping his minions through the that blocked his path. Occasionally, some of the minions found items they could use that were buried in the dirt. "That's mine!" The minion would say. Finally, Discord arrived at the farmlands, cattle, sheep, lots of plants covered the area. He spotted many ponies all many colors all around the fields.

"Sire, I advise you to retrieve the Reds, their flaming attacks could prove very using in decimating this place to dust and burning the corpses of those clopped up horses!"

Discord moved around the fields, carefully making sure he's not seen, for now. He spots a cave that's blocked off, and some abandoned mine carts sitting about. He sends his minions to bash some nearby crates and chest, and to look through the carts while he looks around the area.

"For the master!"
"For you!"

The minions returned with small bags of gold, that their Overlord absorbed into his gauntlet to later put into the treasury. Just before he could order his minions to smash open the barrier to the cave, he heard a small group of ponies walking toward them.

"More pony scum! Quick Master, hide your browns in the nearby plant-life, then take them by surprise!"

Discord moved his arm and pointed toward some bushes, directing his minions there.

"Taking position!" One of them yelled.

Three ponies appeared over the horizon, walking toward the abandoned mineshaft. Two were the same like the last one he faced, earth ponies. While another had a horn on it's head, and from Gnarl's lessons, he distinguished it as a unicorn. It didn't matter, for when they came closer, Discord unleashed the minions.

"CHARGE!"
"ATTACK!"
"DIE!"

"Ahhh!" One of the mares screamed, as she was overtaken and beaten to death by the brown minions. The stallion Earth pony tried to fight valiantly, but was also overtaken by the numerous and overpowering minions. The last, the unicorn, attempted to flee.

"Don't let her escape master! She'll warn the others!"

Discord suddenly stepped in front of the Unicorn, who looked up in absolute fear at the dark figure above him.

"What are you?" The unicorn asked, drops of green liquid ran down her leg.

"Your Overlord." Discord brought his axe upon the unicorn head, and blood spilled upon the grass, her blue life-force being absorbed into the Overlord's gauntlet. His minions returned to him with the others brown life-forces, and then he made his way into the Mineshaft, the smell of smoke reaching into his nostrils.

---

"Ah, the smoke, the magic, the carnage you recently issued! Oh it brings back so many memories!"

Discord followed the mine cart rails deeper into the shaft, the smell of smoke and molten rock increasing as he delved within, finally he stopped at another barricade that blocked his path. A sign attached to the wooden covering stated with big bold letters 'LAVA SURGE, TUNNEL CLOSED.'

Discord merely grunted in annoyance and sent his minions to bash it open.

"Bash, bash!"
"Destroy!"
The minions shouted as they begun their bashing.

Within a few bashes of minion strength, the barricade burst apart, revealing it's tunnel within. The Overlord recalled his minions with a resounding humming tune, and re-delved into the tunnel. But as he journeyed deeper, he spotted small lakes of lava, with the Reds he had been searching for on top of the rocks.

"Ah, the little burnienators! All ready to get to the incinerating! Follow them sire and retrieve their hive!"

Discord looked to his right to see Grubby come out of a newly finished small gate. "New minor Nethergate for the master!" Grubby yelled. His Overlord nodded in approval, before turning his attention to the Reds in front of him.

The Reds extinigused the flames blocking his pathway, which revealed a few red colored beetles. Their new Overlord instantly sweeped the minions to attacked the insects, each time one was killed a red life-force floated from it, in which was returned and collected. One giant red beetle came in view, and attacked, it jumped in the air while the Browns were attacking it and spit out flames, knocking some of them back and killing two. Discord took notice of this, and charged
himself bring his axe crushing down upon the insects head, outright murdering it with a big SPLAT.

Overlord Discord recalled his Brown minions to him and proceeded to follow the Reds. On the way he killed, murdered, splatted, destroyed, all that was red insects and mining crates that held weapons and some sort of armor for the minions. But then, he did something that no Overlord did before.

He spotted one of the minions drop it's previous farming scythe for a sword, but before the minion could leave it.

"Pick that up! We shall leave no potential weapons behind.."

"Oh, good idea milord! We can use the savaged weapons to equip newborns and also melt them for their raw materials! I'll add this to the Browns training regime."

They continued to journey through the mineshaft, and finally they found it, the Red Minion Hive. And with dozens of Reds dancing and praising their new-found Overlord. A confidante Brown and Red gate was in the area, Discord put some Browns back into the gate and summoned some Reds to carry the hive. The Overlord also spotted something that shined red and looked like some sort of totem.

"Ah, a Health Object, this particular object increases bodies physical resistance. Once you collect it and bring it back to the Netherworld, the object will channel some of the Nether's energies into your very being, making you, as they say, more 'super human'."

And so, with the Red Hive and Health Object in hold, the Overlord and his minions traveled back to the Minor Nethergate, but not before killing a couple dozen more red beetles. With the red beetles all killed, his total life-force for Reds counted up to seventy-five, with Browns being ninety-six.

---

The mighty, dark, Overlord stepped out of the Mineshaft once again. Behind him were eight Browns and seven Reds, he walked through the forest with minions in tow, step by step he finally came, back to view of the farms of the ponies, and in the distance, the town of Stalie.

Time to choose, Domination or Destruction, the very guide-ways of the Overlord.

Domination.
What is an Overlord without subjects to rule?

[Whatifgod]

[Ponytime]

1944290 I second this!

[MADC3]

Domination for life!!

[dragon_claws]

How about a balance of both?

[Tyren]

Only kill those who are of no use. Starting with those dirty foals. Waste of food they are. You shale have a mighty slave power. Diamond dogs to help grunddy dig for materials. Earth pony shoe shiners. Hell, even the pegasi have a use, getting things off high shelves.

Yes, yes, you make a good point. I shall consult my advisor, Gnarl.

[PonyManne215]

THIS IS M STORY! GODDAMN IT!!!! I AM SO FUC-

Oh hey, looks like someone took up the Overlord as well. Very nice reception I'm seeing, good job, good job. I have no problems, been too lazy to update my own. But I have to say....I hope you're not taking the story in the same direction mine went, or is going towards.

No worries, I'm not taking the same direction as your own story. Plus, it's not Equestria, since well there are alot more than just three Alicorns. This is the time before Equestria was founded.

[Husster72]

Domination with a side of murder

[Equestrian Templar]

Domination.

[Cloverman The Purple]

Domination, but heroes must suffer.

[poli]

Absoluty domination!!

Serously the Overlord as it's name state it'S a LORD and a lord nead minions AND pessants to work the fields make the products trade pay taxses etc. Let's say thet Discord decide thet eye for a eye and kill/banishe all the ponies including the princessess (specialy the princessess) so then what? There is nobody left to rule except his minions but they don't count since they whas his minions from the start of his traning so he woud sit on his trone and bored to dead.

Also I LOVE your idea when the overlord ordered his minion to keep it's previous weapon ansted of droping it away (when I whas playing the overlord I always thinked thet hey why can't I order my minions to carry there uneaded weapons back to the base so if they die my new minions don't nead to be geared up from the start). What's next? Minions building heavy and light seige weapons? Minions work in smaller squads eache including browns fory meel commbat 3-2 red for ranged combat 2 green fory ambush and sabotage 1 blue for medic? Oh boy I can't waite for your story to continue man!

[EndGamer]

Domination, because destruction is so simple minded you might as well be a minion.

[Perception Filter]

So, much, yes. I love you.

[OnlineImhotep]

Why can't we have both?
*Epic celebration*

[GNECproductions]

Destruction because in the game domination was good and destruction was evil
