> The Council of Evil > by KingofBronies > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Welcome to the Spire! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Everfree forest, a dark and unnatural place which hid many secrets from ponykind. None such traveled far enough to see a path that lead into a spire shrouded by foliage. This was the place where the meeting of the dark ones of Equestria were held… to bring the demise of the kingdom. There was a single opening at the base of the tower and a great set of stairs leading to the only room in the tower. It was cold and dark, lit only by mounted candles that emitted an eerie purple flame. In this room was a table chiseled of stone with matching chairs and a throne. There sat the one and only King Sombra whom was wearing an annoyed look on his face. “They’re late. Those foals can teleport! They have no excuse!” He pounded his armored hoof against the table. With that a flash of purple light appeared a mare with a purple astral cape and mystical hat with silver mane, she smirked as she took a seat. “No need to applaud, the Great and Powerful Trixie has arrived.” She said with great pride. Sombra growled. “You are late!” She scoffed. “Trixie is never late, your time must be wrong. See? Is she not the only other here.” The shadow king sighed. “Whatever… Everypony must arrive before this meeting can commence.” Soon after a dimensional rift opened and out came Discord wearing 3D glasses and drinking a soda, well the container of one. Luna was with him and looked appalled. “I told you Luna, Equestria Girls could have been a lot worse. It could have been that. That my dear is true Chaos, but even I have standards.” Discord said in his usual loony voice. The princess of the night was still trying to wrap her head around what she just saw. “W-we don’t even know what happen. Everything was just exploding; we understand the aesthetic appeal of bursts of ignited clouds but twas a bit much. What was it called again?” “Transformers.” The lord of chaos answered. “Yes, that. If such a cinematic abomination ever comes to our kingdom we hope Tia lends us the sun to dispose of it.” She looked at her surroundings and whom was present. “Where art we?” “You brought sun butts sister?! What is the meaning of this!?” The king roared. Discord just smiled. “Oh come now, who comes to a party empty handed, eh? Besides it’s not like she’s always been the good sister isn’t that right?” She was a little saddened by the comment. “Well no, but we admit our wrongdoings and have faced the errors of our ways. Much like you have Discord.” “Well yes I have changed, but I need something to do on my Sundays.” He begins to whisper. “Besides nothing really evil happens at these meetings. Just silly pranks I assure you.” “Oh, we wish to stay. It sounds like a good bit of fun.” Luna smiled. “Can we keep her Sombra please? I’ll promise to feed her, water her, and keep her groomed.” He smiled with a soft giggle as watering can poofs into his hand. “Trixie has no objections to inviting the great sun butts sister.” The showpony vouched. “Fine whatever, but I’m not happy about it.” The king grunted. Chrysalis reaches the top of the stairs panting with exhaustion. “This place needs an elevator!” “You ACTUALLY took the stairs? Can’t you teleport like the rest of us?” Sombra face hoofed. Chrysalis blushed a bit embarrassed. “Oh…Yeah…” “Looks like someone gots holes in her head as well.” Discord teased. “Silence you mess of parts!” the queen growled. “Whatever just get your swiss flank in here!” the king commanded. She trotted in and took a seat and with that she noticed Luna. “What is she doing here!?” “Oh quit your whining! You and I both know we are the only two not ‘Reformed’ villains here. What the hay is one more to the party?” The king sighed resting his face on his hoof, realizing how far he had fallen. “Fine, but if you so much as mumble one word of this to sun butt I will eat everything you love!” The changeling growled. Luna nodded slightly intimidated. Everyone took their seats and looked at the king. “Trixie doesn’t have all day, speak!” The pony said putting up her hooves on the table. “Silence! Anyways… we have gathered here today yet again to address the ones that have gotten in our way. The enemies of evil, the ones foolish enough to stand in our wake, the foals that dar-!“ “We get it already Sombra!” the swiss queen yelled in anger. The armored unicorn glared at her and cleared his throat. “As I was saying…We are here to address our enemy, today particularly a certain Twilight Sparkle, the new Alicorn Princess.” “Ohhoooo! This sounds like fun. What exactly do you have in mind?” The draconequus cheered finishing his soda and tossing it causing an explosion which no one seemed to pay much attention to. “Well, you see we can’t simply destroy her. We need to do something that sends a message that we are not to be trifled with! Without direct contact, so that we may instill the fear of the unknown upon her!” The villain laughed darkly. “Trixie agrees, we don’t want to hurt her after all. Trixie does not wish another quarrel with her especially as an Alicorn.” The silver maned mare stated. The others seemed to agree with Trixie’s statement except Chrysalis whom would happily destroy the one whom caused her trouble on two occasions. Luna smiled seemingly sparked with inspiration. “We have an idea! What if we un-alphabetize her books at night of course?” The midnight alicorn suggested. “What? That is stupid! What will that even accomplish? Cause her a minor setback in finding her books? It hardly sends a message.” Chrysalis objected. Discord wagged his finger. “That’s where you’re wrong Chrysie; Twilight has a bad case of OCD this will drive her nuts, brilliant show of Chaos my dear Luna.” A small cotton candy storm cloud rained unshelled almonds on Chrysalis. “Don’t call me that! It’s Chrysalis! And will you quit that.” Discord snickered and the nutty situation ceased. “Trixie agrees with the puzzle of parts. She will never be able to find what she needs right away. It is perfect and foal proof.” The magician held up her nose as if she was right and nothing you say could prove her wrong. The king grinned. “Then it’s settled! We attack at midnight!” All cheered except Chrysalis whom still opposed the plan. So the team of sorta villains waited till Luna lowered the moon and snuck into Twilight’s house arranging the books in a random order from their previous one. They then snuck out her being none the wiser… The next morning… The young and new Alicorn Princess awoke fixing her bedhead and trotting downstairs. She was thinking of doing some science experiments, perhaps chemistry? She gazed at the shelf holding all of her wonderful literature, but something was wrong…Her eyes almost cracked open and her jaw dropped as she behold the disaster that was once an orderly bookshelf holding her treasures. Some of the books were even put in backwards! What in the name of Celestia? Are those fish between some of them? What was this madness?! She could do nothing, but scream with ear piercing power waking up half of Ponyville and practically giving her dragon assistant a heart attack. Sombra smirked at the top of his tower and begun to laugh at her cries. “Good morning, Twilight Sparkle.” > Painting the Town Corn dog > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the highest room of the spire, the five ‘villains’ sat upon their respective chairs. Sombra had a sinister smirk upon his muzzle. He cleared his throat before starting the meeting. “As you all should know from the ear deafening scream heard this morning, Twilight Sparkle received our message,” the shadow king smirked. “So what? The stupid plan worked, I still say that if we could get into her house so easily, then we could have destroyed her!” Queen Chrysalis pointed out. “Oh come now, Chryssi, where is the fun in that? You have to think outside the box,” Discord smirked. “Trixie agrees, however Trixie proposes a new course of action!” the mystical mare announced. “Oh great, you’re coming up with the plan this time? I can already feel the migraine coming…” Sombra sighed. “Silence you impudent foal! Trixie will have you know that Trixie’s plan is almost as great and powerful as Trixie herself,” as Trixie held her nose in the air. “Does it involve silly parlor trick and an unsettling lack of wheels where there should obviously be wheels?” the changeling mocked. “No… Yes... No parlor tricks or wheels, Trixie has a better idea! It involves her!” the great and powerful one announced. A golden yellow mare with a fiery mane appeared in front of the counsel, “Hello everypony,” she smirked. Luna looked confused, “We are not impressed! She is not even the real Equestria Girls villain.” “The Great and Powerful Trixie disagrees, she is clearly grade ‘B’ villain material. You are just blinded by her pure villainy,” the silver-maned unicorn stated. “I’m pretty sure the janitor is more evil than her. He keeps this place clean, pretty sure you have to sell your soul for that kind of power,” Sombra scoffed unimpressed. “Hey, buck you! At least I turned into something threatening! You just sat there ‘cause of some sissy magical shield,” Sunset growled. “SILENCE! I will not be talked that way by some high school brat!” the king stomped his hoof in frustration. “Please tell me you actually have a real villain and no more of these ‘reformed villains.’ We have no shortage and I propose we actually do something evil at these meetings!” Chrysalis demanded. Discord giggled, “He might be closer than you think!” A voice was heard through the counsel, “Corn dogs?” “It couldn’t be!” the shadow king said in shock. “Are you not in awe?” The astral-caped mare laughed. Everypony turned to the voice and noticed a beige Pegasus with a blue-spiked mane consuming a veggie corn dog. The draconequus’s eyes widened. “Him!?” “The waifu-stealer himself!” Sombra growled. “Finally! A true villain to match my own evil!” laughed the swiss queen. “We should have expected as much! How Tia allows you to serve as a guard we shalt never understand!” the night princess said. The show pony smirked, “Trixie always has a back up!” Everypony began smaller conversations amongst themselves until somepony eventually spoke up. “We art wondering what thou expecteth us to do with him to unleash untold havoc for Tia's former student,” Luna announced in her equestrian voice. “Oh, she’s right! We are unleashing our villainy on Twilight, not the fandom.” Discord made clear. “Yes, please miss ‘High Horse,’ tell us why you invited my ex-coltfriend here?” Sunset scoffed. The Confused and Clueless Trixie thought to herself. What could she do with this colt besides anger the fandom? And then it hit her… like a rock. “Ow! Who dares strike Trixie with such a primal form of attack!” She looked at her feet and noticed the rock on the floor. Now as crazy and terrible as it would be to break all of Twilight’s windows with rocks, Trixie had a better plan. “Trixie has it!” The blue unicorn smirked with delight. “We are all well aware of the size of your ego,” the king sighed. “Silence! Trixie has a plan that will drive Sparkle to the brink of insanity!” The great and powerful pony laughed. “Does it actually involve Him?” Chrysalis pointed at the pony who devours corndogs. “Indeed my holy admirer! We attack when Moonbutt raises the moon!” She grinned. “Call me ‘holy’ again and I will make sure there are holes in your head!” the changeling queen said, grinding her teeth. “Ohhhhhhh, so what is this plan, I’m dying to hear it!” the spirit of chaos smiled. The group came in close and listened to Trixie as she unveiled the plan. The rest of the team looked intrigued, minus Chrysalis, whom thought it was just silly and could be used as an opportunity to attack like an ACTUAL VILLAIN. That night, the villains scouted out Twilight’s place until the coast was clear. The counsel was dressed in navy blue ninja-like outfits. The team took out cans of spray paint and painted the outside of her treehouse with corn dogs. Some were artistic, some looked like a foal made them, and some even incredibly realistic. But after this daring escapade, there was one final step remaining. “Flash, Trixie commands you to put your spray can in Spike’s claw,” she whispered. He nods and enters the house, being as quiet as possible. But then a loud knocking is heard, followed by the sound of everypony else galloping away from the scene. Twilight awakens and notices Flash holding a spray can in his wing. “Flash, what are you doing here?” She looks at him, less then pleased. He swallows hard, a little intimidated. “Umm… Corn dogs?” he facehoofs, immediately having noticed his poor choice of words. “What corn dogs?” Twilight said confused until she noticed a corn dog painted outside her window. Her mood changed from unhappy to furious. Trixie and the others galloped far enough away from the mess, but close enough to hear the sounds of a pegasus being pummeled by a very enraged princess. Chrysalis smirked, “Maybe you are more evil than I thought.” The group laughed before disappearing into the Everfree Forest. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to my friend Kyle for editing this! > Canon Fire! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After the last plan, the villains laid lowed for a while. Several days later the team, minus Discord and Luna, returned to the Everfree Forest lair. “So why are we down two members?” Sombra asked in his dark tone. “Luna told me that Discord and her are on royal business,” Sunset responded. “Ahhh, well it’s not like we need them here all the time anyways. Yeah! We can come up with good ideas!” the king smirked. “‘Good’ is such a strong word,” Chrysalis scoffed. “Oh shut it, change into something that isn’t a whiny horse bug thing.” The dark mage stomped. “Mother, father, Trixie requires that you cease fighting at once,” the caped mare giggled a bit. “YOU DO NOT COMMAND US!” they yelled in unison. Realizing what they just done, they turned away from each other and blushed. Sunset and Trixie laughed a bit, it was quickly followed by them, again, in unison yelling “SILENCE!” The red and yellow maned unicorn smirked. “Mom and Dad argument’s aside, what is on today’s agenda?” “YOU ARE NOT MAKING THAT A THING! We are not even compatible in the slightest!” the swiss queen roared. The magician pony smirked, “Trixie never took Chryssi as such a Tsundere.” Sombra started laughing, the queen was unamused,“SHUT UP! I WILL DEVOUR EVERYTHING YOU LOVE!” The king took a more serious tone, “You can’t eat yourself, my love,” he batted his eyelashes. She blushed a bit more, “Shut up! Besides, I have enough love! I need no one else!”A pink ball of fuzz crashed through the roof. “What the hay is that?” Sombra questioned. A noise was heard coming from the fuzzy ball. It sounded like: “Pffftt!” “It’s alive!” Sunset yelled in surprise. The puffball got up, looked at everypony and gasped. “Oh, Flufflepuff, I haven’t seen you in ages!” the dark king smiled. “Trixie’s remembers this puffball! She would not let me speak! Why is she here now?” the great and powerful pony demanded. “She is here because we are going on vacation,” Chrysalis smiled, hugging the puffball. “Really? We are going to be down three members!” the shadow pony stated, obviously displeased. “Pbbbbbt!” Fluffle retorted. “It’s not our problem. I need a break from you crazy ponies anyways.” She held her nose in the air and looked away. “Flufflepuff grab my tail!” She grabs her tail and they fly off with a “Ptttttttbbbbbbbbbbl!” with a rainbow trail making yet another hole in the roof. “REALLY? WHAT THE HAY IS WRONG WITH YOU!? YOU HAD TO MAKE ANOTHER HOLE!? SUNBUTT DAMN IT!” Sombra roared. So the two left, leaving the three remaining to devise an evil plan to get at our new Alicorn Princess. “So, now I’m the only villain left?” the king sighed, knowing the answer. “Hey, I’m plenty evil!” Sunset stated. “Just because you dated the ‘Waifu Stealer’ does not make you inherently evil. Trixie thinks you’re just a brat,” the oh so great and powerful pony antagonized. “Coming from you that has no meaning. Really, you can only do parlor tricks and brag about your fake accomplishments,” the yellow unicorn smirked. Trixie glared daggers at her, “At least when Trixie decided to be a villain she did it right and took over Ponyville for a time, while you couldn’t even conquer a high school!” “Oh would you two just get shipped together already or something! YOU TWO FIGHT LIKE A MARRIED COUPLE!” the king of shadows levitated them with his magic eventually setting them down. “We are nowhere near as bad as you and mom,” the former demon laughed. Trixie couldn’t help but burst into laughter, Sombra was unamused.“SILENCE THE BOTH OF YOU WE! NEED TO ACTUALLY MAKE A PLAN!” “The Great and Powerful Trixie agrees,” the silly dressed pony concurred. “Oh fine, I’ve had a plan for a while now anyways, best part is we don’t need the others,” Sunset Shimmer smiled. “Oh, now you have caught my interest.” the crystal king smirked. “Come now, Trixie desires to know this plan,” the caped mare demanded. The two unicorns listen as Sunset revealed the plan which both of them liked. Oh? What? You want to know the plan? Come on, you know the drill, you don’t get to hear it, you get to experience it! So sit down and read! NO SPOILERS! The three unicorns had to be very clever for this plan to work. All they knew was that Twilight and Spike were out of the house but it was still daylight. With caution, they snuck quietly into the house when no one was looking. Owlowiscious was asleep, it being daytime and all. “Ok, so we need to hide these magic fireworks under her bed and her stairwell,” Sunset whispered. “Won’t this blow up her house?” Sombra whispered back. “Of course not, Trixie assures you magic fireworks are not explosive, just aesthetic and loud.” The show pony assured. “Just don’t light them with magic and they will be fine.” “Ok, let’s get to planting these things and hide outside,” Sombra smiled. The team of three cleverly hid the magical fireworks in places you wouldn’t immediately suspect. When they were satisfied they took their position away from the house. “This is going to be good,” the king smirked. The three heard loud yelling. Not too long after, that Trixie spotted Twilight on the roof after a teleportation spell with her binoculars. “Wait till she gets in the house,” Sunset said readying the detonator. A large beam of projectile magic was fired at Twilight’s treehouse. She teleported and her house exploded. The Alicorn Princess was fine and so was her owl but her house was mostly gone. She flew off to deal with whatever thing attacked her. The three villains’ jaws dropped in awe. “That blast wasn’t nearly big enough to blow up the house unless…” Sombra turns slowly to the blue unicorn who was in complete shock. “Trixie, what happens when magic ignites magic fireworks?” “T-they explode.” Trixie answered. Sunset looked at Trixie. “So we jus-“ The show pony hopped to her senses, “Yes, I believe we should exit the stage.” The team ran and scattered so they would live to prank another day. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special thanks to Kyle for editing again.
