mylittlejamjar | This is it! This is the end of everything! ('Everything' meaning the plot.) [Visual]

Hyaaaa ha ha ha ha!

[Zetta stands atop the High Library Tower of Stalliongrad. Snow blasts diagonally across the field of vision and wind whips even the Overlord's flaming mane and tail as he brandishes a box aggressively at the scroll.]

[His foes had given him a mighty fight in the Library proper, but he'd managed to teleport the box out of reach before they could steal it back from him. Uncharacteristically clever, wasn't it?]

All your efforts are in vain, Equestria! Your best fighters and your most talented... uh, Pinkie Pies... couldn't prevent me from getting my hands on -- THIS!

[With a surge of magic, the Overlord rips the box open, discarding the metal shell to hold up -- a box of heart-shaped snack cakes!!]

HYAAA HA HA HA HA --

[Absolutely silence falls, broken only by the whistling of the wind. It lasts for about half a minute.]

What the hell is this crap?

...Damn. [He lowers his head, tail drooping and ears flattened.] The Princess's dreams were wrong, this entire time, weren't they? If there was ever a Frozen Fire of Friendship, it must have vanished with the windigos, in turn.

I'm not done with you, Equestria. [Sulky, the Overlord turns his back on the scrolls.] You would have lost today, if the artifact had been here. You can't stop me, ponies! Next time, I won't rely on some pony artifact. I'll break you with my own power!

[With a sharp gesture, the Overlord rolls up the scroll.]

*Just...laughter. Ominous, malevolent sounding laughter. This guy's got the dark sounding evil laugh down pat.*

Relying on mere rumors and expecting certainty? How foolish.

It's a sad day when you can't trust the dreams of the local benevolent sun goddess!

Dreams are fickle. Very few are true to actual events.

Well, I'll say one thing.

You sure as heck got the thing that you were searching Princess Celestia's dreams for.

[Because seriously, if you spent any time around the princess, you knew about her love of sweet baked goods, and that it eclipsed almost everything, save for her love for her sister and for her fellow ponies.]

Top notch, oh mighty overlord.

The government here has PROBLEMS, damn it.

What government doesn't?

[His eyes dart back and forth while his ears fold back. There's really only one thing on his mind.]

S-So is anyone gonna eat those cakes...?

Get the hell away from my ancient Stalliongrad snack cakes.

Aw, c'mon, you're really gonna eat all of 'em?! Just one little bite...

[A few moments later, Zetta's scroll pops to life, seemingly on its own.]

Excellent work, I have to say.

No one suspects a thing.

Edited 2014-06-30 18:58 (UTC)

[Zetta drops his sulk immediately, smirking as he turns back to face the scroll again.]

I think you enjoyed that a bit more than you were supposed to.

[A small chuckle.]

I admit there were some...surprises here and there. In any case, everything is going according to plan.

We can meet at our normal spot for a more proper exchange.

...We were fighting over a tin of TWINKIES!?

We were -

[Joshua stops, and then SHAKES WITH LAUGHTER, rolling out of frame.]

Oh man, oh man, we so dodged a bullet on that one.

Damn straight you did, but I, the almighty Overlord Zetta, will have my conquest sooner or later, as detailed in my dramatic speech moments prior to this!
