Two Other Ones Bite The Dust [Backdated to the 11th]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[The scroll opens by showing Mayfield Twilight and Dame Rarity's faces -- both of whom show no signs of consciousness. No obvious injuries, of course, but the Overlord takes particular delight in tilting the scroll back to reveal his hooves holding them down, one planted between each unicorn's shoulders.]

[When the scroll image finally reaches his face, Zetta is nothing but confidence behind one broad smirk.]

So much for how easily I'll fall. There's two of your best defeated, Equestria, and I think I'm going to hold on to these two for a while. After all, I do have a... special interest in them.

Anyone else want to add their name to the list? Of course, I like these two. I might not be so merciful to anyone I don't.

Let's put it this way: If it involves thinking with anything below the belt, it's improper.

[hattrickery]

Hayate draws herself up and begins speaking in a much more bombastic fashion.

"'After all, I do have a - dramatic pause - special interest in them.' Tch. 'Class' my exquisitely-toned flank."

Hayate's feathers are definitely ruffled now.

"You, sir, are a hole down which class disappears forever. You hear me? YOU'RE A CLASS HOLE."

Close your stupid mouth
Diarrhea spouting hole
Shut up talk is cheap

Eeeeeeeeeek - HEY!

[Pinkie flies out the window. Luckily, this is the first floor, and she throws herself right back in, aiming to tackle Zetta to the ground.]

CAPTURE MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE -

[She is thrown with a start, but she manages to catch herself and fly.]

Pinkie!!

[Wait, is he teleporting-!?]

[misplacedxsheath]

You realize that's only likely to make people more determined to cause you problems.

[Well, he's trying -- but look who just threw herself into the middle of the spell, just as it's about to go off...]

[just_as_planned]

Well, I see you have the villainous ranting down at least. Always good to see the classics kept alive.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

...They're of special interest to me because I've been teaching Twilight and dating Dame Rarity and I want them to be on hand when I transform this world.

What the hell were you thinking?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Of course I have a special interest in them! I've been teaching Twilight and dating Rarity! What the hell is classless about that?

There once was a man from Nantucket --

[This text never finishes for some reason.]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Look, if they don't learn when I defeat two of their best fighters, I can't do a damn thing about their mental problems.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Hell, it's part of the job description.

[just_as_planned]

If you're going traditional, I suppose it is. And it does make things more interesting for those of us on the sidelines.

*The long t-shirt he's wearing now says 'Professional peanut gallery.'*

[hattrickery]

"THAT IS NOT HOW STUDENT-TEACHER RELATIONSHIPS GO."

Bristling. BRISTLING.

"The last time I saw a teacher that imprisoned his students in his underground dungeon I punched him until fruit came out."

[badassfreakingoverlord]

I'm an Overlord, we practically define traditional villainy and uphold it at all opportunities!

[misplacedxsheath]

So you can handle two warriors in a direct assault. If you think that means you're invincible, then you're even more foolish than I thought.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Didn't you have a revelation a while back where you yourself realized you were kind of fruity?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

That isn't a cause and effect, you realize. They're unrelated. Ponies just haven't figured that out, so they're the ones who need the evidence.

[just_as_planned]

But doesn't 'traditional villainy' often include being defeated by the heroes?

*T-shirt reads 'Just ask Saturday morning cartoons.'*

[misplacedxsheath]

The reasoning for thinking you're untouchable is irrelevant, there's no such thing. Would you care to hear what happened to the last would-be conquerer of the known world I knew who claimed to be all powerful and invincible?

[hattrickery]

"What are you even talking about? I've been the fruitiest Celestrian in existence for over three years now; I never needed a revelation to tell me that!"

Hayate pauses, aware they've gotten sidetracked somehow.

"Anyway, this conversation is supposed to be about YOU and how you're a MONSTER."

...no, not enough punch there. Need to add something.

"A DEPRAVED MONSTER."

Nailed it.

[thedoctorsmate]

That you're a pig. Like most evil cartoon villains.

[Private, visual]

[noxequus]

Your heart may be black as the darkest coal, but I know that even you have standards as an overlord. You are evil, but not weak.

Single combat, Zetta. You, against myself. No minions, no armies. Should I win, you accept your utter disgrace, abandon your petty schemes, and rescind the title of Strongest Overlord in All the Cosmos to me.

[Private, visual]

[noxequus]

Should I lose, I do not oppose you further in this endeavor. I will step down, and will order my own minions to do the same. I can speak not for my native selves, but losing my support will make your task significantly less frustrating, will it not?

[There's a pause, then a wry smirk.]

In addition, I will purchase that miniskirt, if that is what it takes.
