[Oh, look. Luna's scroll is on. Guess who.]

Ah, here we go.

[He's also clearly on his way to Ponyville, judging by the trees. Almost sauntering.]

Since my presence is now public knowledge, it seems there's little point in masking my movements, anymore. So I'll be brief, off-worlders.

I have taken over your country, and my first act is to continue absorbing everyone's power. They belong to me, now, and I have no intention of leaving any stone unturned in having them. So, you can either surrender your magic to me willingly, or I will take it from you be force. Either way, your power will belong to me.

You can try to oppose me. By all means, you're welcome to try.

But be warned.

You'll lose.

Hayate's response is a bored yawn.

"Wow, is there like a course for this? 'Evil Speeches 101' or something? Lemme guess - you got an A, right? Full marks? Because that was so painfully generic I'm falling asleep, here."

Re: Visual

[iamnofriend]

Why don't you come to me and repeat that personally, hmm?

I'll be more than happy to relieve you of your boredom.

[gigglesnortpriestess]

...you looked better scrawny.

[iamnofriend]

Aah, yes. I remember you.

You and your friends should have taken my offer. Then I would have made what is to come for you as quick and painless as possible. Maybe I might have let you keep a little of your magic.

But now, I'm afraid that won't be an option for you.

[Fluttershy... actually looks visibly concerned. When she speaks, her tone is motherly.]

...Why? Why do you want to steal our magic?

Re: [Visual]

[iamnofriend]

Because it belongs to me!

I like the cut of this guy's jib! He's got moxie, this one!

[The walrus is getting a kick out of this Tirek fellow. He was evil and enjoyed it and that was always worth respecting.]

Eh, it's all well and fine to keep this dinky little country for yourself, but what would you say to an alliance? Help me return to Mobius and I'll help you squash the resistance!

Visual

[iamnofriend]

Really.

What power would you offer me with your help?

[Visual]

[linefacingforever]

You can't be that great, if one pony managed to escape from you.

[Granted, Yu looks a little singed, like he's been through hell, but he still got away.]

[Visual]

[iamnofriend]

Is that so?

[bluesuit_hoofy]

...What is it you intend to do with all that magic once you've got it, though? I mean, what's the point of all this?

[iamnofriend]

To rule the land. What other point is there?

[Visual]

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Trixie lets out a haughty laugh.]

So you are after power? 'Tis odd that you do not target the greatest and most powerful equine to hath ever graced the land of Equestria with her presence. Even moreso, she possesses intimate knowledge about a certain artifact...

[Please take the bait, please take the bait... If Trixie can distract him long enough, perhaps she can figure out some way to defeat him...]

[Visual]

[iamnofriend]

You?

If you're not an alicorn, you're not that powerful. Still, I'll be getting to you as well.

[warhorseofpower]

Do you really think you can handle all of that? Let alone mine?

[iamnofriend]

I am capable of handling whatever power I absorb. What a foolish question to ask of me.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

...man, you are so getting your butt whomped. Probably by the ponies.

<small[Zetta kicks back in his throne, looking amused.]</small>

You small-fry powers always think another couple of drops makes you the next big thing.

[visual]

[iamnofriend]

Ah...Zetta, isn't it?

I think you underestimate me. I'll be to you soon enough.

[punched_by_sisko]

Oh, really. You actually think you can threaten those who actually harmed Calice? And even if you did somehow get a few powers here and there, there's no way you're actually going to win.

[iamnofriend]

I'm more than capable of defeating whatever's in my way.

[Visual]

[firstofthefallen]

[Just a short bout of girlish laughter.]

Well aren't you precious?

Let's see you have fun for a few days. Let's say three.

After that? If you're still going on, well....

I guess I'll have to kill you.

[Visual]

[iamnofriend]

Ah, yes. Don't worry, demon, I'll make sure to visit you before the day ends.

[foolish_seal]

You know how many times I've been told that? "it's futile, just give up, you can't win."

[Minato sighs, clearly unimpressed.]

It's getting old.

[iamnofriend]

You can't win, and that's why I say it.

[twotailedgenius]

... You know how many times I've heard that type of speech? What is it with supervillains and evil speeches, anyway?

[needsteaplz]

I'm afraid the odds won't be in your favor.

[Color this goddess unimpressed.]

You power-leechers seem to be a dime a dozen lately. Don't think we're just gonna roll over. This might not be our home world but it's our home at the moment and we will fight.

[iamnofriend]

Oh, I expect you to fight. You'll fail, but I at least gave you a chance to do it the easy way.

[Visual]

[theytookmypants]

You seem very confident in your capability to usurp not just the Princesses, but toss us out on our ears as well. You must be a very powerful being.

[Time to see what he can dig up out of this guy.]

[brain_behind_purple]

Yeah, because whenever some crazy, evil overlord announces their super evil plan like that for all to hear, it works out soooo well.

[Nope, not impressed at all.]

[strawberryredgrave]

(You don't even get the honor of Dante taking you seriously, Tirek. His scroll opens up to him directly laughing at you. Shows how much respect he has for you.)

[the_stray]

... We'll see.

[lovesignmasterspark]

...Th'hell kinda creature are you?

Re: [Visual]

[iamnofriend]

You are really asking that question?

Visual

[magicalrealist]

Generic villain accusations aside, I'm more curious about your companion. I'd ask you who it was, but I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.

Instead, I'll be straightforward: what kind of deal did you make with her?

[Visual]

[iamnofriend]

Her?

I'm certain my ally would be quite insulted to hear you call him that.

[vis]

[stormbroken]

You know... I'd be interested in seeing you stare down ol' owl eyes herself. What happens when the devourer of worlds comes after you? After all, you're just another of her experiments.

You really like bein' used like that?

[visual]

[iamnofriend]

And I am getting tired of being told about this Pale Pony. I'll deal with her when I'm ready.

[vis]

[thedoctorsmate]

Okay... so it's brilliant you being all 'I'm taking over' and all that... but who are you? Aside from, like, a goat thing. If you're going to take over a country you could at least introduce yourself.

[Donna's not going to bother telling him he won't succeed because they're going to stop him. That should be a given for anyone who responds.]

Re: [vis]

[iamnofriend]

I am your lord and master, Lord Tirek.

Now. Do you stand with me, or will you try to resist, futile as it is.

[Visual]

[weaponizedgems]

[What can she say? Rarity looks rather bored at his declarations and has fourteen very pointy gems aimed in his general direction.]

I doubt you will be in power for long. Tyrants always fall to their hubris and it is always rewarding when they do.

[Visual]

[maidensbunraku]

.....Please tell me that this isn't the whole thing.

[freeasthewind]

[A white pony with a green mane appears on the scroll, actually smirking.]

I can't wait to see the disappointed look on your face when you lose.
