> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a sunny Tuesday in Ponyville and I, Rainbow Dash, the fastest pegasus in Ponyville, was...sitting on my couch, eating potato chips and watching the news. I couldn't help but cry, leaving a puddle under my fluffy cloud couch. Last I looked in the mirror, my eyes were bloodshot from crying. I sighed and muttered "I can't believe that my OWN FRIENDS would do this to me. They did this to teach me a "lesson in humility" because I bragged, but they brag sometimes too! They embarrassed me!"

On the TV, the news anchor pony was wearing a yellow jacket and black pants. He held his microphone while standing by Mare Do Well, who was wearing purple and blue, and three foals and announced "Today, this mysterious pony named Mare Do Well saved three foals from drowning in the local pond. The foal's parents were very happy. Why can't we all be like her?"

I dashed to grab the remote and turned off the TV. I groaned and grabbed a tissue, then wiped my tears away. I said sarcastically "Yeah, why can't we be like her: A mare who backstabbed her own friend who didn't do anything wrong!" I then took a deep breath and got out of the soft and cloudy couch. I looked at the chip bag and then to my belly...I'd ruin my figure in a hurry at this rate.

I went outside and noticed the sky was a bit too cloudy...I would really need to get back to my job managing the weather soon. I took off and started flying straight to SugarCube Corner for a proper breakfast.

Just as I came close, Carrot Top came over and glared at me like I'd peed in her cereal. She got up in my face and shouted "Hey, aren't you that dumb pony that tried to stop Mare Do Well so you could SHOW OFF?!"

I blinked in confusion, and tried to ask what she was on about, but then a foal with a green coat, an orange mane and scissors as his cutiemark come over and added "You shouldn't try to drive her away just because you're jealous of her!"

I was getting a bit mad at these accusations, steaming out my ears. Finally, I replied, yelling "I WAS JUST TRYING TO BE A HERO MYSELF, NOT DRIVE HER AWAY!"

Berry Punch stepped forward. "YOU TRIED TO KILL HER WHEN YOU WENT INTO THAT ALLEY WITH HER!", she accused, clearly being out of her mind. Before I could react, she added "EVERYPONY, GET HER! SHE SHALL PAY!"

I gulped and whispered "Oh No..."

Everypony from nearby ran and tackled me, including both Carrot Top and Berry Punch...and even Pinkie Pie, who was of course giggling like it was a game.

I struggled to try to get up and out of the mob as somepony punched me.

Then Bon Bon grabbed a chair and yelled "OUT OF THE WAY!" The others complied, and she threw a folding chair at me! I was knocked clean on my belly, rump up, face in the dirt, with a black eye...and I spit out a tooth.

Pinkie suddenly stood over me, her sweet-fattened butt blocking most of my view, and pulled a whistle out of somewhere in that area that she then blew, making everypony freeze. "Alright, that's enough, chairs are not legal in Dashie wrestling!", she shouted, making Bon Bon nervously chuckle and slowly back off.

When I finally managed to get back on my hooves, the ponies who Pinkie stopped were giving me a look, and Carrot Top said something about how I deserved it. I decided to get out of there while I could, and took off flying.

I could hear them cheering back there. One mare even yelled "Good riddance!" while throwing her hat at the ground.

I went back to my cloud mansion, but when I got there, I was shocked. My mouth opened wide, and my pupils shrunk... There was graffiti on the walls that read absurd things like "Rainbow Crash" or "Rainbow, enemy of Mare Do Well!"

I screamed "UGH! I HATE EVERYPONY...." I calmed down by taking a deep breath and said "Curse these ponies' love of Mare Do Well!" I decided to take a nap, after putting an ice pack on my face and using the bathroom.

When I woke up, I made some coffee to act as a pick-me-up, then as I drank it, I turned on the news to watch my favorite TV show, Wonderbolts: Behind the curtains, where the Wonderbolts do breathtaking stunts and each Wonderbolt tells the audience at home stories about how they do it.

Suddenly, a breaking news story came on. The news anchor pony said "The Flim Flam brothers came up with a revolutionary product that changes the lives of ponies everywhere! This cream can help ponies look fabulous... and they are selling it for the low price of 10 bits!"

I thought a moment, realizing that maybe a cream to help my look would help right now. I hopped out of the couch and flew into the town's market.

I saw a bunch of ponies were putting the cream on... One, a mare, started applying the cream, only for her head to inflate like a balloon and started floating up into the sky! That seemed...odd. I then noticed the sound of a group of ponies confronting Flim and Flam about the product. I got closer to listen in.

Lyra came up and yelled "Because of your product, Bon Bon's favorite couch is ruined! It's your fault for this cream giving us the screamin' trots, so yo-oh no, not again!" She suddenly turned and ran, with several loud sputtering farts from her rear that made ponies eagerly get out of the way for her, right into the nearest alleyway, where I could see Bon Bon sticking her head out with a pained expression.

I almost broke out laughing, but put a hoof over my mouth, as I turned my attention back to the angry ponies in the front.

A rich stallion named Fancy Pants stepped forward and yelled "I had the trots as well! And then my face started swelling!" His face was red, with a huge lump on it. One of his eyes was closed and he wasn't able to open it.

I put a hoof to my chin and thought if I stood up to The Flim Flam brothers, I would be a hero again.

...but then I saw Mare Do Well show up, and it was obviously Pinkie this time. She hopped right up onto Flim and Flam's stand and gave them a mean look.

The Flim Flam brothers broke out laughing, even rolling on the ground. After a while, Flam got up and said sarcastically "Oh, what're you gonna do? Make us wear that ridiculous costume?"

Pinkie Do Well promptly started endlessly throwing cupcakes at the two brothers, hitting them in the eyes.

Flim yelled "EW, I HATE CUPCAKES!"

The cupcake barrage continued as ponies cheered.

The two stallions used a teleportation spell, getting quite a distance away, before making a run for the Everfree Forest.

The ponies in the crowd encircled Mare Do Well and cheered. Scootaloo stepped forward and said "You're the best superhero ever! There should be a holiday just for you..."

My heart broke. Scootaloo used to look up to me! I flew home with tears in my eyes.

Once there, I ignored the graffiti and went straight to bed again, with the words Scootaloo said playing over and over in my head.

The next morning, I dragged myself out of bed, and half-heartedly did my morning usual in the bathroom, including praying that this day'd be better. When I went out, I quickly got on the ground and then trudged around Ponyville like a zombie.

I looked one way and saw Mare Do Well, obviously Twilight, pulling Apple Bloom out of a well, then another and saw a different Mare Do Well, clearly Rarity, saving Sweetie Belle's cat from a tree... When I went by Town Hall, I saw Mayor Mare giving a speech, with Flim and Flam in stockades being pelted with tomatoes...and Mare Do Well, clearly Applejack, getting a hoofshake and congratulations. As if to spite me personally, Scootaloo ran up and hopped on Mare Do Well's back to hug her!

I went back to my cloud home filled with rage, and took it out on my bed and windows, punching them. "It's not fair! Even Scootaloo abandoned me! The Wonderbolts won't want a nopony like me now... I have to get a whole new career...not as a racer or a hero..." I cringed a bit, feeling sick, and my face turned green. I vomited in the trash and wiped my mouth.

I thought a moment as I looked at an old comic I had. "Hmm...what if I...became a villain? There aren't many in Ponyville since each time one comes up, they tend to get defeated pretty fast, sometimes even...killed. There'd be nopony to upstage me, and if I could avoid those fates..." I made an evil grin, then announced proudly "Yeah! Yeah! I'll be a villain!"

I went through my closet. After a bit of junk, I found my old Nightmare Night costume, a Shadowbolts uniform, along with a purple cape. I decided to dye the uniform gray, and add goggles. "I shall be known as...." I turned around, making a heroic pose... "Dr. Ego!"
> Chapter 2- regrets and allies
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie, AJ, Fluttershy, and Spike were chilling at Twilight's library.

Twilight sipped some tea and looked a bit sad, then cleared her throat and said "So...if everything's dealt with today, I guess we can go over how things went..."

Pinkie bounced around and replied "I thought you'd never ask! Well I thought Bon Bon being far from dignified, like a cow, was pretty funny!"

Rarity stood up and shouted "Pinkie! Please, I do not want to hear it again. I think Twilight has...something else in particular on her mind." She then went into the corner with Spike, who was eating ice cream.

Fluttershy stepped forward and asked "Twilight...is everything okay?

Twilight shook her head, then released a defeated sigh and said "I'm just not sure we're doing the right thing. I saw Rainbow Dash...crying, and I'm beginning to feel guilty we stole her thunder."

Spike laughed in response. AJ and then Pinkie soon joined in.

Once they stopped, Rarity piped up and said "Darling, Rainbow Dash is an egoistical, hothead Pegasus. She only saved ponies' lives to get attention and admiration from others... I think it was quite right to bring her down a peg."

"Darn tootin'!", added Applejack.

Twilight sighed and said "Yeah, that's true, but we might've taken it TOO far by humiliating her like that and making her look like a fool. We could have talked to her."

Applejack said "Oh come on Twi, she's as stubborn as a donkey! And cockier than any stallion!"

Twilight furrowed her brow and said "Yeah...but you're like that too sometimes..."

Pinkie Pie piped up, bouncing in muzzle to muzzle with AJ, and started talking super fast "Remember when you tried bucking all the apple trees yourself and kept causing problems around town and made me POISON everypony with baked bads and then when we all went and talked to you everything was fine, but if we had just done the work for you instead in front of the WHOLE TOWN, you'd be SUPER mad, because you're the BIG FARM GIRL POOOOONYYYY!"

"Uh...", Applejack replied, putting a hoof to her chin. "I guess you're right, but..."

Rarity said "Darling, that was AJ's own farm. Rainbow doesn't own saving ponies. Though maybe we could try to be more careful and ask her if she's doing okay."

Spike finished his ice cream and added "I think you're all overreacting; Rainbow Dash is the element of loyalty, so she'll be back here tomorrow talking about sick tricks and asking us for help."

Twilight frowned and said "I don't know. I'll ask her, but I hope you're right, Spike."





If my friends were gonna keep doing this, then I'd need allies to help get them all off my case. After all, I remembered hearing when I was a little filly "Teamwork makes the dream work". I donned my Dr. Ego uniform and flew out at sunset.

Looking for anything...off, I spotted my old friend Gilda and said "Bingo..." as I started trailing her. Soon, Gilda went into an abandoned treehouse on the edge of the Everfree. The nails were rusted, and a lot of it was overgrown and coming apart. The windows were broken and there was a light inside that was flickering. I landed silently on the balcony of the Treehouse, then opened the door and saw a group playing poker. There was Gilda, Trixie, Prince Blueblood, Discord, and some big red and black centaur playing poker.

I cleared my throat and asked in a mild tone "I'm not interrupting, am I?"

They all stood up and turned, ready to fight me. Gilda scoffed and said "Lame costume, dweeb, but I recognize that voice anywhere...and you don't belong here..."

I put my hooves toward them and said "Whoa, whoa, calm your jets, I'm not here to bust Discord and whatever's goin' on here. You're plotting something, right? If it's to take down Mare Do Well...I want in! And instead of Rainbow Dash, you can call me...Dr. Ego!"

Discord chuckled as he came up to me, wrapping his tail around my legs and crotch tightly. He smirked and said "Oh is that so?"

I gulped nervously and nodded.

He spanked me hard with his whip-like tail and said "Naughty naughty, betraying your friends as the element of loyalty...but very CHAOTIC! I LOVE IT!" He put his arms up in the air excitedly, then back down as he suddenly smooched me on the lips for several uncomfortable seconds. He then pulled away and uncoiled from me.

I fell forward, gasping for air and spitting out some of his spit. "So...I'm guessing that's the membership ritual? My butt stings..."

Discord chuckled again and said "Oh no, I was just having fun with you. You're not in yet...you did help put me in stone, you know, so I'm not entirely sure you're up to helping me make Ponyville the chaos capital of the world, but you putting up with that certainly does give me hope..."

Trixie then said "The great and powerful Trixie certainly enjoyed it, although it was more fun when Trixie spanked her with lightning, heheh. I support her entry, as long as she'll help me get revenge on Twilight for embarrassing me in front of every pony when I couldn't fight that Ursa Minor."

The red and black centaur cleared his throat and said in a raspy voice "We can always...dispose of her if she turns out to be a mole for her friends. The name's Tirek, by the way. I can suck up a pony's magic, or at least I used to be able to...I've had to come here to get my powers restored, so that I can take my rightful place on the throne of Canterlot!"

Rainbow nodded and said "Right, T-Rex, I heard about you in school I think. So, what's the group called?"

Trixie said in a proudful voice "The Great and Powerful Trixie had just proposed we call ourselves the 'Magnificent Magical Monsters' when you had come in."

The others shook their heads. Gilda even face-clawed, and said "Too dweeby."


Tirek asked "What about... The Deceivers?"

Discord went back to his original form and said "Not all of us want to deceive ponies all of the time, as fun as it could be."

I said "What about...The Evil 6?"

Discord came up to her again with his arms out and said "Ooh, I LOVE it!"

I braced for a kiss, turning her head away, but Discord moved oddly, I heard an unzipping sound, and then felt him smooch right where the sun doesn't shine! "Wh-hey there!" I said.

Discord pulled away after a moment, giggling while I glared at him.

Gilda rolled her eyes and said "Come on, Discord, it's been five minutes and you're literally kissing her butt. You're acting like a lame pony friend of hers."

Discord wagged a finger and said "You know me, I don't like to become predictable. Now, what do the rest of you think?"

Blueblood and Trixie both gave nods, while Tirek crossed his arms and took a moment before sighing and saying "It's decent."

Discord put his paw in front of all of us, and we soon all put our hooves and hands in, then shouted in unison "The Evil 6!"

Tirek said "So with our group name...perhaps we should all take on aliases like Rainbow did. I shall be known as 'Magic Demon'!"

Trixie said "The Great and Powerful Trixie shall be known as 'The Magnificent Empress'!"

Discord said "And I shall be known as the King of Chaos! ...or 'King Chaos' for short, more marketable."

Blueblood said "Hmph, those will hardly disguise who you are. I'll be 'Shining Star'. Celestia will never figure it out."

Gilda rolled her eyes and asid "If I have to...call me 'Gilded Gobbler'."

I gave her a quizzical look and asked "Gobbler?"

Gilda smirked and replied "It's a griffon thing, you'll see..."

Discord/King Chaos said "Well then, Dr. Ego...just to be sure, you're not pretending to be a villain just so you can wait for us to do something wrong and defeat us to restore your former glory, right? Because...I think we would have to test whether she could 'gobble' you if that were the case."

I went a bit pale and stammered "N-no! No! I would never do that!"

Tirek/Magic Demon said "Then we will need a...test. Go to Twilight's library, find her restricted book of anti-villain spells...and bring it back here. Unfortunately, some basic magic wards are keeping all but her friends out, and me and Discord don't yet have the power to get through them."

I nodded and said "Fine.. watch me!"

I immediately took off and flew to Twilight's library. It was nighttime and most ponies were asleep, Twilight included. I opened a window and hid when I heard footsteps.

Spike turned on the lights, then walked downstairs and asked "Eh... anypony there?"

I waited for him to leave, then squeezed through the hole of the window and looked around for the book. There was a simple unlocked chest, which glowed slightly when I touched it, but then came open after a moment. In it, there it was: "Starswirl's Guide to Extremely Powerful Spells", with a purple cover and gold leaf print...and a big stamp saying that it was to only be used with permission from Celestia herself. I grabbed the book and dashed through the window, then flew as quickly as I could without doing a sonic rainboom, back to the treehouse.

Once back, I could hear the chat going on inside, and saw they'd put on outfits. The Magnificent Empress said "The Magnificent Empress doesn't believe that Dr. Ego will complete the task!"

King Chaos replied "Trust me, when I kissed her, I tasted villainy at both ends....very minty."

The Magnificent Empress scoffed. "And I thought you dared lick the magnificent tush when we met because you were coming onto me..."

I scrambled in, not wanting to hear any more. I was huffing and puffing and toppled forward. I managed to catch my breath. "Didn't know villainy had a flavor...but anyways, I got the book."

Magic Demon grabbed it and inspected it, then said "Excellent!"

Gilded Gobbler said "I still don't see how this will help us..."

The Magnificent Empress said "For a start, Twilight would've used this to turn us to stone or...worse. Without it, she is temporarily vulnerable. Additionally, its secrets will allow The Magnificent Empress and Shining Star to empower King Chaos and Magic Demon. We will be unstoppable!"

King Chaos quickly made copies of the book, distributing one to everyone except Gilded Gobbler and me. He then cleared his throat and said "We'll need to study up for a bit. Once we're all ready...we can unleash chaos!"

Gilded Gobbler spoke up, asking "Right, but what about doing something small, as a team. A test run, you know?"

I went up to her and put a wing around her, then replied "We could uh, rob a bank, and bribe ponies into joining our villainous team...the Flim Flam Brothers would certainly listen to a bunch of bits if we can bust 'em out of jail."

The others nodded their heads in agreement.

King Chaos chuckled and said "Sounds like a plan. Meet back here every night, and next week...we rob!"
> Chapter 3- Crimes and recruits
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

The day after I took the book, I came across Twilight in the road.

She looked up at me and said "Hey, Rainbow, got a minute?"

I gulped, then flew down and replied "Uh, yeah, sure...what it is it?"

Twilight nervously rubbed her hooves together and said "Um, well, I was wondering if you were okay after all that Mare Do Well stuff...I was worried it might've hurt you."

I made a fart noise with my mouth and rolled my eyes, then said "As if! Mare Do Well's great. And besides, I'm a race and stunt pony. Mare Do Well can do all the lame hero stuff."

Twilight smiled and said "Thanks for the reassurance...I think Mare Do Well will be returning soon!"

I for a moment looked panicked, but calmed my face and replied "Oh cool! Cool...cool...well I've got weather to clear, so...see ya!" I flew off in a hurry and cleared some clouds. It seems like Twilight hasn't even yet discovered her book's missing...which is good news for me!

Later that week, after making sure to keep up appearances going on dumb outings with Fluttershy and Pinkie, it was the night before the robbery, and it was a tense meeting at the villainous treehouse.

Shining Star, in his dark hooded cloak silver and gold stars, tossed a black and red artifact to Magnificent Empress and said "Here you are...the alicorn amulet! It cost a pretty pony and took a few favors being pulled...but I think with this, you'll be able to rob that bank almost by yourself, and then enact proper revenge on Twilight. Oh, and say hi to Rarity for me..."

Magnificent Empress, in her black cloak and ruby-studded blackened metal crown, chuckled and replied "Understood...I'll be out practicing. So who'll be staying to make sure things go smoothly?"

King Chaos, in his sparkling purple and green unitard, replied "Gilded Gobbler and Dr. Ego, of course. They're no use in Canterlot, they'd draw the wrong crowd and be too obvious for our...bribery. They'll pretend to be innocent townsfolk that you made serve you. Do try to be convincing, you three..."

I shouted "Can do!"

Gilded Gobbler, in her sparkling gold bib and mask that covered everything from her chest up except her beak, simply smirked.

With everything all planned out for tomorrow, we went home to make individual preparations.

The next morning, I put on my Dr. Ego outfit early, and headed out to the meeting point, an alleyway across from the bank.

I cleared my throat. "We ready?"

Magnificent Empress nodded, then teleported us all directly into the bank.

I shouted "Nopony move!"

It was early in the morning, so only one teller was there, a white unicorn named Twinkleshine with pink hair. She was helping some brown colt I think named Button Mash.

The Magnificent Empress stood tall and shouted "Give us all the bits, or...FACE THE WRATH OF ME! The great amazing, Magnificent Empress!"

She gulped and said "Okay, Okay.. take it!" she grabbed a huge white bag, filled to the brim with bits and threw it at the Magnificent Empress.

However, a large brown stallion, who looked like Caramel with his darker brown mane and tail, but Big Mac-sized, stood at the vault entrance and shouted "You aren't gettin' all the bits!"

I saw Magnificent Empress' dissolve and be replaced with an angry grin, her blue horn started glowing a bright red, and then zap! Her magic made the stallion's entire body be made...out of pastries and candy!

The stallion started investigating his hooves and face, freaking out, when Gilded Gobbler came up to him and licked her lips.

Gilded Gobbler grabbed his snout, said "I got your nose!" then pulled it off and ate it!

The stallion screamed and tried to kick her away, but she made quick work of his legs, leaving him helpless on the floor.

I felt a tap on my rump and turned around to see Magnificent Empress with an annoyed look. She said "Come on, it's impolite to stare, and we have work to do."

Twinkleshine rushed to open the vault with the keys, and then cowered under a counter.

I gave a glance to Gilded Gobbler eating some pieces of chocolate that I hoped were from his tail before nodding, and started opening the bank's chests to reveal bags of bits.

As Magnificent Empress teleported the bits to our hiding spot for them, I looked again...

Gilded Gobbler gave me a smug look as she ripped off his head...it came easy, with his neck made of bread, and he gave her a pleading look for mercy. Gilded Gobbler simply licked her beak before swallowing it whole.

I shuddered, but took a deep breath and trotted out with the other two.





Twilight sipped her tea on her balcony while reading a book.

Suddenly, Princess Celestia then flew down and said "Twilight sparkle, my faithful student. May I talk to you, please?"

Twilight rolled her eyes and said "Sure princess, what is it?"

Princess Celestia smiled and said "I have...a test for you..."

Twilight turned to Spike and yelled "Spike! Get my paper and quills!"

Rustling could be heard as Spike replied "On it!"

Princess Celestia cleared her throat and said "Now then...there's trouble in Canterlot, ill talk of me, possibly even a revolution. Could you come and find where it's coming from?"

Twilight raised an eyebrow and asked "Is that really necessary? I mean, surely, ponies aren't going to...overthrow you, right?"

Princess Celestia nodded "Perhaps not, but it can't hurt to be prepared. With a neck this long, it wouldn't be particularly hard for them to take my head of...and besides, you've been spending too much time helping ponies around in this town..."

Twilight blinked and pondered, with a hoof on her chin "Too much time helping? Well uh...but isn't it important to fight evil here, down on the ground? I mean, Flim and Flam's cream...it made so many ponies sick with weird inflammation and...the trots, and Cherry Punch even died from that..."

Princess Celestia chuckled and quickly put a hoof to her mouth, then said "Right, um, sorry, I think there's much value in learning from ponies here, but being a princess requires dealing with the real problems, not chasing a few bad businessponies and their misdeeds. Please, come to Canterlot."

Twilight sighed and said "Yes princess..."

Princess Celestia used a spell that teleported her back to the castle. Twilight rolled her eyes and said "Come on Spike, we've got a revolution to stop, I guess..."





Our next stop after the bank was the Ponyville jail...where Flim and Flam were awaiting trial.

I cleared my throat and asked "So...think we can just bribe the guards? We've got like a million bits!"

Magnificent Empress put her hoof to her chin and said "Worth a shot, who do ya think's guarding this place, anyways?"

Gilded Gobbler shrugged and said "Could be somepony we can't bribe...I've got an idea." She then whispered into Magnificent Empress' ear.

Magnificent Empress smirked and said "Ooh, I like it...well, let's get on in there..."

As we walked in, the jailhouse seemed...oddly empty, and the only pony around outside was Lyra, who seemed to be trying to hide in a bush.

I spoke up and said "Do you think they know we're coming?"

Magnificent Empress nodded and replied "Yeah..." She scanned the room with her red magic and then shot a beam up at the ceiling!

Suddenly, a pony dressed in a black jumpsuit, with goggles on her forehead yelled "HALT! WHO ARE YOU THREE?" By her voice, I could tell it was Bon Bon.

Magnificent Empress quickly replied "We uh, were told by Princess Celestia to retrieve Flim and Flam..."

Bon Bon said "Oh, as if! I was alerted the moment you robbed the bank! Now let yourselves get taken quietly and I won't have to hurt you..." She pressed something on her watch, and suddenly it shot out a net that went around Gilded Gobbler, then another around Magnificent Empress, and a third around me!

I struggled, but couldn't move at all. This was bad...

Magnificent Empress cackled as she casted a spell on Gilded Gobbler, making her start to growing larger. Magnificent Empress however seemed to get tired from casting it.

Gilded Gobbler roared as she became big enough to break free of the net...and could barely fit in the building.

Bon Bon gulped and said "Well that's new..." She then hopped around to dodge as Gilded...Mega Gobbler tried to smash each spot she went.

I thought quickly and realized we were gonna lose...so I shouted "Hey, Gobbler, free us!"

Mega Gobbler took a moment, growling, and slashed me and Magnificent Empress' nets with a claw. Unfortunately, Magnificent Empress wasn't very awake at all.

I flew at Bon Bon, but she shot something else at me, and it started shocking me! I could barely move as I got it off, shouting "Youch! Hey Gobbler, teamwork time...and do whatever it takes!"

As Mega Gobbler nodded, I charged again.

Bon Bon threw balls that exploded into sticky goop, but I dodged them and just kept flying around. She seemed confused at what I was doing...until...

Mega Gobbler grabbed her and licked her lips, then used a claw to cut off all her clothing and gadgets.

Bon Bon gulped and nervously laughed, then said "Uh...I don't taste like my name?"

Mega Gobbler promptly started gobbling her down.

Bon Bon squirmed and...peed as she was swallowed up, making me giggle.

Magnificent Empress trotted over to us and said "Heh, looks like we found out which filling was in that bon bon...now let's get the brothers."

The two of us trotted forward into the hallway, since Mega Gobbler couldn't fit, and found the cells. Flim and Flam were there playing harmonicas, and whichever one had the mustache piped up "Hey there, you wouldn't happen to be in need of some...business ponies, would you?"

Magnificent Empress smiled and replied "Oh, I think we would be...if you don't mind a bit of destruction along the way."

Flim and Flam looked at each other and grinned as Magnificent Empress tore off the cell door with her magic.

Magnificent Empress cleared her throat and said "Now boys, play it cool, I'm gonna teleport you to a closet in Town Hall. I'll be there shortly to grant your official pardons..." She then teleported them.

We walked out, but as soon as we were out the door of the building, I again noticed Lyra, and this time she was talking to Thunderlane with a worried look on her face...

Thunderlane flew right up to us and said "Okay, what exactly is going on here?"

Lyra added from afar "Is Bon Bon okay? I'm worried!"

I stammered out "I uh...w-well uh..."

Thunderlane squinted and looked closely at my mane. "Wait a minute, you're..."

Mega Gobbler promptly grabbed him and shoved him headfirst into her beak.

My jaw was hanging low, Thunderlane was a good friend of mine!

Gobbler didn't seem to care...in fact she was licking at his rear areas with a grin, teasing me!

I always was kind of into him, and this was kinda...ugh! I turned away to Magnificent Empress and asked "Hey, could you turn her back? Like...right now, please...?"

Magnificent Empress rolled her eyes and waited a moment for Mega Gobbler to finish before zapping her again with her bright red magic...

Mega Gobbler's eyes went wide, and she suddenly coughed up large round things...made of the bones of the eaten ponies, mixed with their fur, manes, tails, and some black feathers from Thunderlane's wings.

I gasped in horror at the realization both were actually dead already.

Lyra screamed and ran up, but kept her distance, just behind Gobbler. She looked to Magnificent Empress said "C-can you save her, p-please?"

Magnificent Empress tried to speak up, but was interrupted as the shrinking Gobbler grunted, squatting a bit, and pooped out a huge mass of white and brown.

Lyra broke down crying on the ground.

I dragged Gilded Gobbler away from the scene, around a corner, and yelled "WHAT THE HAY? I...I understand Bon Bon, as horrible as that was just now with Lyra, but Thunderlane?"

She coughed out some more of Thunderlane's feathers and angrily replied "Oh come on, Dweeber Ego, he found out your secret identity. If you had just planned better and made sure nopony could recognize your mane or tail... Thunderlane Thunderlane wouldn't have to die. You should really be glad that my digestion in that form was instant, I saved your sorry butt, dweeb!"

Magnificent Empress gave me a glare.

I sighed and said "Sorry sorry, what...I meant to say was...good job Gilded Gobbler, and...thanks!" I felt guilt tapping on my shoulder, begging me to listen to it.

Gilder Gobbler said "Now let's get out of here...we need to get out of costume while Empress takes over."





Magnificent Empress headed inside the Town Hall and tossed a secretary stallion across the room, then yelled in a demanding voice "I, the great Magnificent Empress, demand control of the town!" To emphasize her point, she turned the secretary stallion into a pie, and threw it at the wall, where it splattered and slowly slid down... She smirked and licked at the pie filling, making noises of satisfaction.

Mayor Mare was scared, her body was shaking like if she was freezing on a winter day. She then raised her hooves up and yelled "Okay, okay.. you can have it..."

Magnificent Empress chuckled and said "Oh, and don't worry...he's not dead, but you'll need my magic to save him in the state he's in..."

Soon, Mayor Mare sent out ponies to announce a change of leadership. With the crowd gathered, she led Magnificent Empress onto the stage.

Magnificent Empress yelled in the microphone "ATTENTION PONYVILLE: I THE AWESOME, MAGNIFICENT EMPRESS AM YOUR NEW RULER! IF ANY OF YE WORTHLESS AND WEAK MORTALS STEP OUT OF LINE, I WILL UNLEASH THE MONSTER THAT ATE BON BON ON YOU ALL!"

Lyra, who was in the front row, started hyperventilating. The rest of the crowd gasped and started gossiping between each other. Pinkie Pie in particular was not happy about this, as her fluffy pink mane deflated like a balloon.

Glida and I smiled as we heard the news and we gave each other a hoof/fist bump. Now, we controlled Ponyville, and can do anything we want to shape and craft it like a peice of clay.

Glida said, in a confident tone, "Finally, a ruler who isn't a dweeb! Maybe she'll even let me eat some!"

I started to have second thoughts about this, but chuckled nervously, replying "Right...that's...a good thing..."

Gilda hugged me from the side and I shivered.
> Chapter 4- Maginficant Empress rules Ponyville
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

I put up a banner depicting Magnificent Empress' head and red and black colors on Town Hall, just where I'd been ordered to.

The Magnificent Empress cracked a red magic electrocuting whip on my rear, and I yelped, but she smiled when I looked back at her. She then went up to Mayor Mare, who was in a large bird cage with a wooden bucket inside, and said "Ah, isn't it glorious?"

Mayor Mare put on a forced grin and nodded.

As I finished adjusting the banner to look perfect, I noticed Twilight walking up towards Town Hall. I swooped down and came right up to her, then said quietly "Twilight, now's not a good time...Trix-err, Magnificent Empress, is in control, and uh, I don't think she likes you..."

Twilight gave me a puzzled look and replied "Uh...well that's...interesting. Thanks for the warning, but I think I'll be fine...TRIXIE! What's going on here?"

The Magnificent Empress cackled maniacally as she levitated us over to in front of her, then cleared her throat and said "Why, if it isn't my nemesis, Twilight Sparkle. Do you know the pain I went through after you showed me up with that Ursa Minor?"

Twilight gulped and replied "Uh, well, no, and I uh...I just wanted to save Ponyville, you know..."

The Magnificent Empress stamped her hoof, then said "I worked on a rock farm. A ROCK FARM! I would've been there a lot longer if somepony hadn't been generous enough to provide me with a little...assistance in becoming a more powerful mage than you! Now, would any of Twilight's friends like to contest my rule?"

Twinkleshine stepped forward hesitantly, to within hoof's reach of Magnificent Empress, then gulped and said "Uh...well, I kind of...don't want to obey you..."

The Magnificent Empress took a moment before she chuckled with her mouth wide and her eyes closed, apparently finding the defiance quite funny.

Twinkleshine suddenly spit right into Magnificent Empress' mouth!

The Magnificent Empress made a weird face, eye twitching as she swallowed it, then tried to spit a bit, and said "Ugh, yuck! You're going to pay for that! GOBBLER!"

Gilded Gobbler rushed onto the scene, having apparently just gotten into costume, then licked her lips and asked "Fresh meat?"

The Magnificent Empress shook her head and replied "No, a simple thrashing should put the fear of the Empress in her...but wait a minute...spitting in my mouth could be an attempt to spread some disgusting illness me!"

Everypony gasped, but Twinkleshine especially seemed shocked, and she said "What? I...I just wanted to knock you down a peg. I...okay, I've had a bit of a stomach bug, and I admit I hoped it would spread to you so that Twilight could more easily stop you, but...surely it won't kill you!"

The Magnificent Empress' face contorted into a snarl of rage, and she shouted "YOU SCUM!" She levitated Twinkleshine up, then slammed her belly-down against the ground.

Mayor Mare piped up, saying "Um, the standard punishment for trying to make a public official sick with intent to cause harm would be...death by beheading, your magnificence."

Twilight's face went pale, and she stepped between Magnificent Empress and said "Whoa, whoa, Twinkleshine didn't mean to cause harm! Just a...a prank."

I rolled my eyes and said "Twilight, pranks aren't meant to make ponies get taken down from their rule...OFF WITH HER HEAD I SAY!"

I heard a "YEAH!" from Scootaloo in the crowd, followed shortly by Gilded Gobbler saying "Ugh, lame."

The Magnificent Empress in a flash summoned a guillotine around Twinkleshine, then a carrot, which she shoved up Twinkleshine's butt, making her squeal and squirm for a moment, and many like Twilight and Roseluck to look disgusted, then said "Just so your body doesn't ruin the moment in a certain way, though I can't say I don't enjoy seeing you squirm...any last words?"

Twinkleshine cried a bit, then shook her head. A moment later, Magnificent Empress dropped the blade, and Twinkleshine's head was off.

I felt a rush of adrenaline and shouted "AWESOME!" Scootaloo shouted the same from in the crowd. Fluttershy fainted.

The Magnificent Empress levitated it up to Twilight, who looked mortified, and bumped its nose to hers, then smirked and said "Wanna give your friend a last kiss for your Empress?"

Twilight hesitantly gave a single smooch, then started crying. After a moment, she said "Please...you've punished me enough. I...I would've given you a new wagon...Twinkleshine was a good pony."

Magnificent Empress put a hoof to her chin, then casted a spell on Twinkleshine's head that made its drooping features suddenly become lively, put it on a nearby pike that Snips had prepared, and said "Well, since you gave her that stunning endorsement...I'm keeping her head alive while it's on display, for anypony to torment as they please!"

As if on Cue, Snails rubbed his butt in Twinkleshine's face, and giggled. I giggled too, as did Pinkie, Cherry Berry, and a few others in the crowd. Scootaloo even went up to it to do something herself.

Trixie continued "It'll die eventually, when I forget to cast the spell someday. As to the body..."

I looked over to Twinkleshine's ragdoll-like body, with a puddle of urine on one end and blood on the other. It was gross, even though I wasn't at the angle to see her neck.

The Magnificent Empress cast a spell that turned the body and guillotine into candy, leaving only the two puddles unchanged, then said "For the foals, who I hope will grow up to be obedient, and not awful poisoners! So, any other ponies objecting my fair rule?"

Murmurs erupted in the crowd as many shook their heads, then several foals, including the CMC and others from their class, rushed forward happily, grabbing at the candy. Pinkie, Berry Punch, and Derpy soon joined in too, getting what they could.

Lyra was crying, and staring at a bon bon among the candy pile as she walked unsteadily towards Magnificent Empress. Her eyes were bloodshot, probably from crying a ton. She asked in a sad, crying tone, "I don't want to live under your rule...not without my Bon Bon. Can you...reunite me with her?"

The Magnificent Empress smiled with a huge grin on her face and said "Hmm...and I think I heard you were friends with Twilight before she came to Ponyville so...as you wish! Gobbler!"

Gilded Gobbler stood at attention as Magnificent Empress casted the spell, turning her not into the full Mega Gobbler, but still bigger, about double her normal size in each direction.

Big Gobbler promptly grabbed Lyra in one claw and smiled at her.

Lyra smiled back, and closed her eyes, looking at peace.

Pinkie suddenly came up to me and whispered "Sugarcube Corner, 10 minutes, don't let anypony you don't trust know...", then went back into the crowd.

When I looked back, Big Gobbler was clearly having trouble swallowing Lyra due to being smaller this time. She had to spank Lyra's wiggling butt several times to jam her in, and when that was no longer making progress, she stuck a claw into it, making Lyra eep, then scream in agony and squirm, and slowly pushed her in. As Lyra was gulped down, her screams became quieter and quieter, until suddenly, Big Gobbler coughed up a pellet of her indigestible parts, then grunted, squatted, and crapped out a pile of guano the size of a foal.

The crowd seemed stunned like they saw a ghost, mouths open wide and pupils dilated, many looking away. Only Pinkie piped up to say "Well, that was quite a show...but I think I prefer the candy." Many ponies in the front were shaking, and some like Roseluck, Twilight, and Doctor Hooves were slinking back to blend in.

Flim walked to the scene and said "Well now, it seems like many ponies could do with a pick-me-up after seeing two mares meet their humiliating ends!" Flam added "Indeed, and we, the Deciev-err, Flim Flam Brothers, have just the thing! A tonic that'll take the edge off!" Flim continued "A drink for forgetting all the troubles life under the Empress' rule! Only 5 bits!" They quickly set up a stand, and many ponies flocked to it.

The Magnificent Empress giggled, while I discreetly flew off.





I flew into SugarCube corner quickly, and headed to the basement. All my "friends" were there with stealth outfits. I blinked, then said "Uh...I wasn't told we had to dress up?"

Twilight in her black catsuit, that matched Pinkie's, groaned, then said "As long as Trixie doesn't know you're here...anyways, this is about her being a tyrannical dictator over Ponyville. Princess Celestia has given me the test of dealing with it, and you're the only ponies I'm allowed to call in for help."

Applejack said in a serious tone "We need to drive her away!"

Pinkie Pie suggested "How about we 'call' Mare Do Well and have her deal with this not-so-magnificent big meanie!"

Twilight frowned and rolled her eyes, then said "Pinkie, we're Mare Do Well...at most, that's just us in other suits...and we're stronger when there's not just a few of us at once. Plus...it feels weird, I mean, we did that to show up Rainbow, and she's...right next to us."

Fluttershy said "But...maybe it is a good idea...if Trixie doesn't recognize us, maybe we won't be...e-e-executed..."

Applejack added "Yeah, but we'd have to not get caught red-hoofed."

I slammed my hooves down and shouted "NO! Trixie could cut you all in half in an instant! Or the Gobbler could swallow you up as you flew! Do you want to be a pile of bird crap? Look, how about we just...lay low, and uh, obey Trixie? She got her revenge on Twilight, if we just wait until she gets bored..."

Rarity said " Oh pfft, you just don't want us to make you look weak again!"

Twilight suddenly used magic to zip Rarity's lips, then glared at her and shouted "STOP IT! You all know how you made Rainbow feel during that, and she's right. We can be Mare Do Well again, but only working with Dash. Trixie seems to trust her, so she can be our inside mare. Right, Dash?"

I was caught off-guard, and blinked, replying "I uh, well uh...yeah? I guess I could distract her while you all set something up but...we need to do it when the time is...right. Like, maybe in a week? Magnificent Empress is riding high right now, but she might not be after a while of ruling, dealing with ponies, you know?"

Applejack slammed her hoof down and replied "But we'd be lettin' more ponies die!"

Fluttershy eeped and added "I uh...I like Rainbow's idea...but I don't like ponies dying..."

Pinkie added an "Mm-hmm!"

Rarity piped up and said "Unfortunately...Rainbow Dash may be right. If we strike now, we'll just be the ponies dying, and it'll be for nothing. Perhaps we could encourage ponies to not resist too much, just...be dreadfully boring, and only a little annoying?"

Twilight made a duck face as she thought it over, then replied "It could work... Rainbow, do you think you can tire Trixie out today? You'll need to go back out anyways before Trixie gets suspicious."

I nodded and grinned, replying "I've got just the thing..." I was out of there before anypony could even say anything more, zooming back to my cloud mansion...and soon, I put on the Dr. Ego outfit.





I flew around Ponyville in my Dr. Ego outfit, and soon came upon King Chaos chatting with Magnificent Empress on the outskirts of town! I blinked and said "Whoa, hey you two, what's up? I was just out...cruisin', ya know?"

King Chaos replied "Oh, wonderful news...we've recruited some ponies, including several in Canterlot. Unfortunately, we're more than 6 now, so our name doesn't quite make sense. I was thinking the original group would still be the Villain Six, but the group as a whole would be something of an...umbrella term." He added a flourish of turning into an umbrella for Magnificent Empress, which she seemed to smile at, since it was lightly raining.

The Magnificent Empress added, "The Magnificent Empress agrees and suggest that we name the team 'The Confederacy Of Villains'!"

King Chaos nodded, and replied "Excellent! I'll pass it on to the rest of the group in Canterlot. Oh, and Dr. Ego...say hi to our newest, littlest recruit!"

I looked around, and noticed Apple Bloom leaning against a wall.

Apple Bloom stood proudly and said "Ma alias is Madam Mark. I'm tryin' ta get ma cutemark in bein' a villain. And I'll stamp my victims' flanks and crimes!"

I shrugged and said "Good enough, I guess. Me and the Empress can show ya the ropes, apple squirt."





The next day at dawn, two ponies were eating submarine sandwiches at Sugarcube Corner as I did my patrol.

One stallion of a brown coat and brown mane, named Doctor Hooves said "I think this 'Magnificent Empress' has simply gone too far!"

One mare, Cheerilee said "I agree", while Derpy Hooves, seated next to Doctor Hooves, looked concerned, and replied "Oh, I dunno...I don't want to wind up like Twinkleshine..."

I barged in after hearing everything by the window and yelled "Well it looks like we've got two who just signed their own death warrants! GOBBLER!"

Gilded Gobbler popped out of a bush, then grabbed the two ponies in the neck and dragged them with me.

The Magnificent Empress was in Town Hall in Ponyville, getting a hooficure from Snails, while Rarity sewed more banners.

Glided Globber came in just ahead of me and yelled "I GOT TWO DWEEBS WHO DISRESPECTED YOU!" She then threw them on the floor.

Derpy pleaded from behind me "Hey, they were just talking!"

The Magnificent Empress' horn started to glow red as she went out and summoned a large red magic head of herself that shouted for everypony to come to Town Hall.

Within moments, ponies were rushing there.

The Magnificent Empress picked up a pike and yelled in a demanding tone "Dr. Ego! Impale them both! " She pointed her hooves at Doctor Hooves and Cheerilee.

I took the pike and positioned it firmly in the ground, then grabbed Cheerilee, who screamed and kicked at me. She begged "Please, no, I just...I just don't want young ponies to think it's okay to be a cruel tyrant! Think of the childr-" I slammed her butt down on the pike, and in it went, skewering her internal organs, and silencing her for the moment.

Blood went down the pike she was impaled with, painting the green grass red.

Derpy Hooves scooted away and mumbled "No...NO...please! Spare the doctor! We'll obey you!"

The Magnificent Empress laughed and said "So at least you know better...hmm, very well! Both of you, kiss my hooves!"

Derpy and the Doctor rushed up to her and kissed her hooves eagerly.

The Magnificent Empress smiled and turned around, then said "Now my butt."

The two gave each other a disgusted look, then complied, smooching it all over for over a minute.

Meanwhile, Cheerilee slid further down on the pike, and it stuck out her mouth, the tip coated in blood. She gurgled a bit and went cross-eyed, clearly shocked by the sign of the fact her entire digestive system had been run through, and she wet herself! Within a minute, she started kicking erratically in her death throes, and soon was nothing more than a corpse to discourage ponies from going against the Magnificent Empress.

The Magnificent Empress then levitated up Doctor Hooves and said "Now, since you were good...this'll be dignified and quick!"

He had only a second to react before he was engulfed in a magic fire that burned him instantly to ash, which then dissipated as they fell, leaving a light scattering of ash.

I shouted "Yeah go Empress! Always a cool new execution method!"

The Magnificent Empress tossed her hair, said "I try", then cackled and spanked Derpy Hooves as she scampered away, then said "And if you do anything to upset Trixie, you'll be executed too!"
> Chapter 5- battles
> --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I, Dr. Ego and the others were at the Cafe drinking tea in a white mug, the tea was a brown, spicy liquid. Then I heard a loud noise that said, "Down with the Magnificent Empress!"

Then The Magnificent Empress was shocked and spit her tea at me, she yelled in a loud and angry voice, "WHO SAID THAT? COME OUT.. NOW!"

A mare stepped forward, the mare was wearing a dark purple tunic, a big purple and black fedora, and a long purple and black cape. I had a shocked look on my face, I whispered, "Mare... Do...well!"


Mare Do Well who was clearly Apple Jack said, "The Magnificent Empress, your cruel reign shall end today.."

The Magnificent Empress was mad, her face was glowing red, and she busted out, "NO, today is the day where you shall die and be forgotten by everypony in Equestria!"

Glided Globber aka Gilda added, "Yeah, every griffon in Griffinstone fucking love her... every griffon has SO MUCH MERCH of her... our culture is ruined thanks to that dweeb! Instead of demanding bits we demand icky, cringy Mare Do Well merch... I feel like vomiting" her face started blushing green, she ran over to the trash can that is next to where they were sitting and vomited. She then came back.

Mare Do Well said, "Well, I am popular and everypony loves me unlike The Magnificent Empress!"

A pony walking nearby a green pony with a yellow and orange mane yelled, "HEY EVERYPONY, A PONY IS STEPPING UP TO THE EVIL THE MAGNIFICENT EMPRESS!"

Everypony nearby heard this, they were excited that somepony is calling out The Magnificent Empress who was being a dictator and ruling Ponyville with an iron hoof. Everypony crowded the cafe, they all had happy faces, huge grins and they were chanting, "Go Mare Do Well!"

The Magnificent Empress yelled, "I will continue my fair reign on Ponyville!"

Mare Do Well then jumped forward and punch The Magnificent Empress in the face, The Magnificent Empress fell from her chair and fell on the ground, her two front teeth escaped from her mouth, blood was leaking from her mouth. King Choas then grabbed a chair and tried to throw it at Mare Do Well. The chair missed and then Mare Do Well then landed on the ground and did a roundhouse kick. King Choas crashed into the table causing it to fall over. I then used my horn and caused the big, white and fluffy clouds to swarm around her. Mare Do Well asked, "The Magnificent Empress do you surrender?"

The Magnificent Empress who was lying on the green ground, not able to get up from the ground and had her two front teeth missing. She yelled, "Noooo!"

Mare Do Well grabbed a white and fancy chair and threw it at The Magnificent Empress. She mumbled, "Ow.. ugh.."

Magic Demon, Madame Cutiemark, Shining Star surround Mare Do well. Madam Cutiemark with a knife in her thin yellow hooves yelled, "GIVE ME CUTIEMARK!"

Magic Demon aka Tirek opened his mouth and tried to suck Mare Do Well's magic, Mare Do Well fell on the green grassy ground, yellow beam escaped from her body. Magic Demon got larger and larger and yelled, "HA HA... I took your magic... what are you going to do about it?"

Mare Do Well got up and felt a bit dizzy. I then preformed a spell that made the clouds launch a Super lighting bolt which hit Mare Do Well, Mare Do Well's purple uniform started burning, everypony was scared and ran away, they were scared that they would also meet the same fate as Mare Do Well. I then said, "I am the best villain ever!"

Mare Do Well fell on the ground on her tender body. She was yelling for help and rolling on the floor. I laughed at her, then after a while, King Choas then snapped and a glass of water appeared in his hand, he walked over to the fire and poured the water. The fire stopped and there lies a pile of black powered ash.

The Magnificent Empress finally got up, she was dizzy. She then yelled, "HA HA, NOW NOPONY WILL STEP UP TO ME AND TRY TO OVERTHROW ME!"

Twilight was walking by she saw the ashes of her friend, Apple Jack.. she yelled in an angry tone, "How dare you kill Mare Do Well!"
Princess Celestia walked by and asked, "What  is happening?"

Twilight yelled, "The Magnificent empress killed Mare Do Well!"

The blue unicorn laughed and yelled, "No, Twilight killed her!"

Twilight said, "NO! I DIDN'T..."

The Maginficent Empress said, "I am better at magic anyway so why am I wasting my time with a lameo like you!"

Twilight said, "You think you're better? then I challenege you to a magic dual!"

Celestia added "If Trixie agrees to a magic duel with my student over who is better at magic, I will absolve her of all crimes until this point! As well, she will become legitimate ruler of Ponyville if she wins."

The Magnificent Empress smirked and replied "Very well...you'll find your amulet is weaker than Tr-er, the Empress'!"

Princess Celestia explained "Okay here are the rules: Each round, each competitor may cast up to two spells to do something amazing. Only ponies from the chosen test subjects may be used...these subjects can be killed or otherwise changed, but a 3rd spell is allowed if it restores at least one pony to as if they weren't touched, and doing so grants a +1 to the score for that round after score averaging. 3 ponies will judge...Octavia, Blossomforth, and Fluttershy. Competitors, choose your test subjects!"

The Magnificent Empress and Twilight started levitating over those they wanted as test subjects. On Twilight's side, were Applejack, Lemon Hearts, Minuette, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Scootaloo. On the empress' side were Gilded Gobbler, who was still quite large, Madam Mark, Snails, and Snips. While they were choosing, I went to a closet and got out of costume, and on coming back, Trixie added me as a final subject.

The three ponies sat down on folding chairs at a wide table that had been brought out, with Fluttershy taking a bit longer of course. Fluttershy gulped and said "Um, so.. round one begins?"

The Magnificent Empress had a confident smile on her face she said "Since I am the empress of Ponyville, I will go first!" She then yelled "Scootaloo! Madam Mark has told the empress that you mocked her a day ago for having accidents as a result of her stomach bug! Get over here for revenge!"

Scootaloo gulped and trotted over slowly. She looked to me, and I gave a reassuring, but uneasy, smile back.

The Magnificent Empress blasted her, and she suddenly started squawking! When she stopped, she suddenly squatted...after a bit of her straining and peeing, I could see an egg poking out!

Ponies gasped, and I put my hoof to my mouth to try and stifle a chuckle. As horrible as it was...it was kinda funny to see her really become like a chicken after lettin' loose in front of everypony...

Once the egg plopped out and Scootaloo started panting, the Magnificent Empress shot another spell...that sliced right through her neck.

I screamed "SCOOTALOO NOOO!" while many in the crowd simply stared in horror.

Scootaloo's head tumbled towards me, while her body ran around like crazy...

The Magnificent Empress stated "Like a headless chicken, get it?"

I began breathing heavily as I looked towards her smug smile and shook. I took a moment before saying "YOU SAVE HER! NOW! I...I LOVED THAT FILLY!"

The Magnificent Empress raised an eyebrow and grinned wider, then replied "Oh, you love her huh? Make out with her, and I'll save her. The spell is keeping her parts alive...for now..."

I wasted no time, grabbing up Scootaloo's head, and hesitantly putting my lips to hers. It was awkward doing it in front of everypony, so I just closed my eyes and pretended I was with an awesome wonderbolt...and soon, I was smooching her hard with tongue. It was amazing, and I wanted the moment to never end... Then I heard somepony clear their throat, and I opened my eyes.

Scootaloo was still trying to make out with me...and her body was reattached! I had been so lost in the kiss, I hadn't noticed. I stammered out "Uh..." as I pulled away.

The Magnificent Empress chuckled and said "Well that certainly was amazing, if I do say so. In fact...you may notice in the minute you weren't watching, that I fixed her wings."

Scootaloo squeed as she then ran over to the Magnificent Empress and surprise-smooched her sloppily, giving some tongue for a few odd moments.

I felt a bit betrayed, but decided to play it off, and said "Heh, you indirectly kissed me though Scootaloo!"

The Magnificent Empress looked a bit unsure about things, and replied "Eugh...whatever, just give me a score..."

Octavia put up an 9, Blossomforth a 7, and Fluttershy a 6. Celestia then did the math, and put up a final score of 8.3.



The Magnificent Empress chuckled and said "Well, your amulet certainly has power...but you don't use it well. I think it's time I taught you a lesson using your friends...Minuette, Lemon Hearts, Pinkie Pie, and Gilded Gobbler, get your butts over here!"

Pinkie Pie sighed and walked over from Twilight's side and said "Well I know what you're gonna do to me...so get it over with, ya big meanie!"

Minuette and Lemon Hearts just looked incredibly worried and sad...probably because their best friend, Twinkleshine, was killed only days ago.

The Magnificent Empress' horn started glowing bright red, turning Pinkie into a big pie! She then said "Now, Gobbler, you like pie, correct?"

Gilded Gobbler licked her lips and said "Uh-huh..." and then began eating up the pie. In mere moments, nothing was left but a pie tin...and then Gobbler's stomach groaned, and she crapped out a pink-colored pile of guano with Pinkie's face, blinking.

Several ponies gasped, including Fluttershy. Twilight stood perfectly still, clearly trying not to react. I meanwhile started to worry, holding out hope my friends would survive...

Minuette and Lemon Hearts meanwhile were holding each other, shaking.

The Magnificent Empress looked to them and said "Now...don't worry, I'm not sending you two through my friend Gobbler here...just going to get you real acquainted with each other...", then casted a spell on Lemon Hearts.

Within seconds, Minuette was licking her lips...and then Lemon Hearts' lips, and then...swallowing her headfirst!

The crowd gasped in horror at the sight of one friend eating another. Twilight in particular shed a tear and made a loud whine.

Minuette made short work of Lemon Hearts, then seemed to snap out of things once done, and gave a little cry of alarm on realizing while looking at her enlarged belly.

The Magnificent Empress giggled and said "Now, time to become Lemon FARTS and MinuTOOT!"

Minuette's eyes went wide, and her face pale, as her tail flagged up, and soon, she was grunting as yellow smoke spurted out her rear. Everypony stared in awe as it kept coming, until Minuette, now face down, butt up, and panting, was emptied and with her belly back to normal.

The smoke cloud...had a face, Lemon Hearts' face, and she looked extremely distressed. Minuette meanwhile...resumed farting, but now the cloud was blue, as bits of her started to shrink and disappear, until only her head and butt remained...and with one final look of terror, both vanished, leaving in their place her face.

While some ponies were giggling uncontrollably, many in the crowd gasped and stared in horror. Caramel was so shocked he almost choked on cider he was drinking, spitting it out. Fluttershy fainted.

The Magnificent Trixie smirked and stated "Per the rules, I only need to save some of these humiliated mares, so some will be left to die from the dissipation of their new forms...so, which pair shall it be, Twilight, your old friends, or your new friend?"

Twilight gulped and started sweating, looking between the two unfortunate mares. She finally sighed after a moment, closed her eyes, and said "Pinkie...I'm sorry, Minuette and Lemon Hearts...the elements have to come first."

While Celestia woke Fluttershy, the Magnificent Empress casted a spell on the guano...and it turned back into Pinkie Pie!

Pinkie Pie bounced up and yelled "Woohoo, that was weird, but fun the whole way! Can I go again?" She then looked up at the very sad-faced Lemon Farts and Minutoots clouds, and her smile faded. She said "Oh..." and her mane and tail sputtered out air to deflate as she trudged back towards Twilight's side.

Twilight turned to Celestia and asked "Can't you help Minuette and Lemon Hearts?"

Princess Celestia shook her head and replied "I don't think I have enough magic to reverse that without exhausting myself for important things later...and if I did, I'd be taking the spotlight from her anyways...sorry, Twilight, but there's no point in trying to break things just for two random ponies."

Twilight's ears went flat as she watched the clouds dissipate, and the judges put up their scores...8 from Octavia, 6 from Blossomforth, 3 from Fluttershy. Celestia put up a final score of 6.6 (15 total).

Twilight gave a glare to the Magnificent Empress, who still seemed smug, then levitated over Rarity and said "Well then...how about an age spell!"

The Magnificent Empress blinked and asked "What? Age spells...aren't they impossible?"

Twilight smirked, said "Not with my amulet!" and zapped Rarity, and with a poof, she was replaced by a filly version! Twilight immediately cast it again, with another poof, putting Rarity back to normal, blinking.

Everypony gasped. Snips said "Wow, Twilight could make the old young again, and everypony could live pretty much forever!"

The judges put up their scores, 6 from Octavia, 5 from Blossomforth, 8 from Fluttershy. Celestia put up a final score of 7.3 (13.6 total).

The Magnificent Empress groaned and levitated over Snips and Snails, then said "Well then, maybe I can't make a pony a foal again, but I suppose you volunteered...to be aged!" She casted a spell on Snips that made him quickly turn into an elderly pony, wrinkling with gray hair.

Snips mumbled something and stumbled as Snails looked on in horror.

Snails piped up with "Hey, wait, I'm loyal...uh, like I haven't ever even thought of saying something like he did!"

The Magnificent Empress shrugged, tossed him aside, and then grabbed Rarity.

Rarity went wide-eyed, and squirmed in the Magnificent Empress' telekinetic grasp, sweating and saying "Now darling, don't be hasty, I mean, I designed your banners, and your statue, and I can make you wonderful dresses..."

The Magnificent Empress rolled her eyes, and said "Oh, don't worry, you'll be making a lovely spectacle all of Ponyville will see, more in my style!", then casted a spell on her.

Rarity screamed as she slowly shrunk into a cylinder, and turned into a large firework with a face. She blinked as she rolled on the ground.

The Magnificent Empress then smirked and said "Applejack, get your butt over here, I need it!"



The Magnificent Empress quickly levitated the two, pointing Applejack upwards, then shoving the Rarity firework up her rear, I immediately reacted by chuckling, then saying "Aweso-" before catching myself and realizing that there was a good chance neither would be coming back from this... I began panting, preparing to witness the death of two of my friends. I could hear in the crowd some ponies who realized the same, as Roseluck and Carrot Top cried out.

I decided to act, and came between Trixie and AJ, saying "HEY!"

The Magnificent Empress glared at me and asked "What do you want? I'm busy taking out the trash."

I got really close to her, and whispered "If you do this...I don't think King Chaos'll let you live. Trust me, Trixie, you're in over your head. Spare these two friends of mine and take the loss, I'll make sure Twilight goes easy on ya...Tartarus, if you do win, just put on Twilight's amulet and agree to a truce and I think it'll work out..."

The Magnificent Empress glared and said "Thanks for revealing that bit...", then chuckled, tossed me aside, and lit the Rarity firework, making it scream.

Within moments, a shower of sparks propelled the two upwards, as AJ started screaming too...and only about ten normal houses up, KABOOM! There was a huge Trixie face winking, with a smaller Rarity face animated, looking around and crying...with a green mane, before looking scared as it dissipated.

Everypony gasped...and then a shower of chunks of Applejack began. Little was recognizable, but her head in particular landed right at my hooves, and I nearly puked. Ponies screamed and cried...including Madam Mark, who tore off her new cutie mark in a fit and ran over to Twilight's side. Twilight for her part cried out "YOU MONSTER! UNDO THIS!"

Fluttershy fainted again, as did Lily Valley and Sassafrass.

The Magnificent Empress rolled her eyes and casually casted a spell...on Snips, turning him back to normal, then said "as the rules say...I only need to turn back 1 pony".

Octavia gave a 10, Blossomforth a 6, and Fluttershy...a 1, when she finally got up. Celestia put out a score of 6.6 (21.6 total).

Twilight stepped forward with a really depressed look and said "Alright...you made it clear you're powerful. Please, just...my amulet can do more...can you copy a pony?"

The Magnificent Empress raised an eyebrow as she cast a cleaning spell to deal with the bits of Applejack, then replied "Oh, I tried earlier with Thunderlane's remains and then Snails, but trust me, it didn't go well...surely you jest about your amulet being capable of this!"

Twilight sighed, then casted a spell at me!

I squirmed a moment, before realizing...she hadn't done anything. I looked around and...there was a second me!

The other Rainbow Dash shouted "Ah yes!" in my voice perfectly.

Twilight then followed it up by casting a spell on the sky...and Rarity appeared, dizzy and standing unsteadily, right in front of Twilight...still with a green mane.

The Magnificent Empress' jaw dropped, and she said "That's...you...oh I so want that amulet!"

Twilight then shot a spell at my double that made them burst into magic smoke.

Octavia gave a score of 5, Blossomforth a score of 7, and Fluttershy a score of 6. Celestia put up a final score of 7 (20.6 total).

Celestia cleared her throat and said "Well it seems the Magnificent Empress is the winner! Twilight, hoof over your amulet..."

Twilight sighed and did so, and Magnificent Empress seemed giddy...but wasn't taking off her own amulet to put it on. She then said "I'll test this out later..."

Uh oh...not only was AJ dead, but it...it was for nothing! I shot a look to Gilded Gobbler and Twilight, then pounced on the Magnificent Empress, flying as fast as I could, and hitting my hoof to her horn. It only gave her a momentary jolt, but that opened up a window for the others.

Gilded Gobbler jumped in and clamped down her beak, with most of the Magnificent Empress' head in it.

Twilight shot a spell that hit the Empress' horn, shattering it just as she was about to cast something. Still, it was starting to reassemble...

Thinking quickly, i went behind the Empress, tore her cloak off her, then delivered the hardest kick to a pony's butt I'd ever done, sending most of her straight into Gilded Gobbler.

Gilded Gobbler reacted quickly, cramming Magnificent Empress in...while Magnificent Empress peed, making me giggle.

Magnificent Empress screamed a bit from inside Gilded Gobbler, then shouted "Let me out! We can work this out!" before just screaming incoherently...

Soon enough, Gilded Gobbler coughed up a pellet, and the crown, then crapped out guano.

Ponies all around cheered loudly at the demise of Ponyville's tyrant...and soon, a whole bunch of them picked me up and were tossing me up in the air, chanting "Rainbow Dash kicks tyrants down!" while others were trying to praise Gilded Gobbler, only to be threatened with being eaten.





Once things died down, I walked to the southern side of Ponyville. Twilight came following and asked, "Hey, uh, I know now might not be a great time, since Celestia was only able to save Rarity and not AJ...but can I ask you something?"

I then frowned and asked in a cold tone "...well you just did, so...what is it?"

Twilight took a deep breath as if she was going to do a presentation for class, then said "The whole Mare Do Well thing...it really affected, you didn't it? I mean...the others thought you deserved it since you were bragging and being cocky... and I guess I didn't do enough to stand up for you against my other friends. And it led to...all this..." Twilight was clearly about to cry.

I sighed and hugged her, then said "Don't let 'em know, but...yeah. Thanks. Oh, and what's with this?" I showed her the purple credit card that fell out of AJ's pocket.

Twilight rolled her eyes and said "Wellness Credit Card. Yeah...not my idea, but AJ insisted we needed it for the long-term. Um...speaking of AJ, it's gonna be awkward at her funeral. I...think you'll be asked to give the eulogy."

I gulped and said "Practically the worst Mare Do Well's done to me yet!"

Twilight chuckled so hard she snorted, and then after burying her snout in my chest, farted, making her blush, then calmed down and replied "Woops, that was just...a really good one!"

I chuckled myself, teasing her by giving her a noogie and saying "So even an egghead can make some embarassing noises when they like my jokes!"

Twilight rolled her eyes, then said "Um, anyways, you joined Discord's supervillain team because of Mare Do Well, right?"

I nodded my head.

Twilight responded "Think there's room for me? I know it seems odd, but...Celestia's way of dealing with things is just not okay. Applejack would be here right now if not for her. And since Discord disowned Trixie and hasn't totally turned the world upside down yet...he has to be better than Celestia!"

I spoke in a confident tone "So, the Confederacy of Villains...you could join...but most members there hate you. I guess I could put in a good word for you. Just follow my instructions carefully..."

She was walking home. After a while, she was harboring angry feelings for her friends and Princess Celestia.  Twilight groaned and then mumbled, "Princess Celestia didn't care that Magnificent Empress was doing atrocious things in Ponyville and even killed some ponyville residence... but she loses her shit if I cast a spell that causes everypony to fight for my doll! Also thanks to my dumb friends' plan now Apple Jack is dead and Sweet Apple Anchors can't function without her!"

Twilight took a deep breath and calmed down. She was reading a book about very advanced magic tricks, the tricks are so powerful that nopony not even Princess Celestia or Discord could use them. Then she heard a knock on the door, she mumbled something like, "Spike, go get the door..."

Spike obeyed, walked to the door and opened it. There was Rarity, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. The three ponies stepped inside. Rarity said, "Darling, "Mare Do Well" died!"

Twilight asked, "Apple Jack or Mare Do Well died?"

Pinkie Pie closed the door and said, "Apple Jack died there was black ashes in the cafe where the fighting took place.

Fluttershy was crying, she covered her eyes with her thin and yellow hooves, tears fell on the brown, wooden floor. Rarity then said, "Darling, it's okay... you'll see Apple jack again.."

Twilight took a deep breath; she then painted a small smile on her face. Rarity asked, "Darling, why are you smiling?"

Twilight then yelled in a scolded tone, "I TOLD YOU MARES THAT THIS WAS A HORRIBLE IDEA, BUT NO YOU DIDN'T FUCKING LISTEN! FIRST RAINBOW DASH'S FEELINGS GET HURT AND WE RUINED HER FUTURE THEN WE GOT ONE OF OUR FRIENDS KILLED. WHY ARE YOU PONIES SO FUCKING ASS ARROGRANT AND STUBBORN!"

The three ponies looked at her dumbfounded. Fluttershy fell on her belly and started breaking down, a trail of blue tears was forming from her. Pinkie jumped and tackled the lavender unicorn and asked, "Why would you say something like that, OUR FRIEND DIED! YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT APPLE JACK?"

Twilight yelled, "No.. No... I care about Apple Jack but the problem is even though I warned you about doing this Mare Do Well shit but you didn't listen and now our friend, Apple Jack is dead!"

Fluttershy got up, she stopped crying but her eyes are red shot. she yelled, "AND HOW IS THAT OUR fault?"

Twilight scolded, "IT'S  YOUR FAULT BECAUSE YOU MARES WANTED TO DRESS AS MARE DO WELL AND FIGHT THE EMPRESS, BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPID PLAN... OUR HONEST FRIEND, APPLE JACK IS DEAD. YOUR PLAN CAUSED APPLE JACK'S DEATH!"








Magnificent Empress executes the judges by locking them in a top-secret room, then she cast a spell causing the room to be filled with green, lethal gas. After a sheer few minutes, all judges except Fluttershy who hold her nose and made sure no gas entered her body.

She then played dead and escaped.


Magic Demon aka Tirek asked, "So... the highlight of our day is when we defeated Dr. Ego's nemesis... Mare Do Well!"

King Choas aka Discord said, "I agree!"

I laughed and said, "I agree.. Down with Mare Do Well!"

Then Magnificent Empress started to have a cringed expression on her face, she then felt pain on her chest, she places a hoof on her body and said, "Ooh.. I do no feel so good."

All the other villains look at her with concern. I, dr. Ego asked, "Are you okay, miss?"

The Magnificent Empress scolded, "Do I look okay?"

She then fell upon the ground, on her back. She lies peacefully in the green, grassy ground, her eyes started to cross, the other villains had a shocked look on her face.

Madame Cutiemark asked, "Is she alright?"

Glided Globber grabbed one of her blue, thin hooves and tried to look for a pulse. She then nodded her head.
