Deal with the Devil. I mean Demon. [Visual, open]

[Zetta seems completely unconcerned as he lounges in his throne, waving a hoof casually at the scroll.]

So somebody blabbed my plans already, but that minion-mimicking minx got the basics in one. You guys are losing power left and right, but I -- I, Zetta, the most badass freaking Overlord in the entire cosmos -- have it to spare!

So, how can you get a piece of my might? A slice of mana power all your own? [Zetta rubs his forehooves together in delight.] You join my team, of course. Become my loyal minion and I'll give you power. Add it to your own or replace what you lost, I don't care.

...Seriously, you guys haven't stopped this weirdo yet? You're slipping. Anyway, offer's good starting now!

Let me get this straight. You're offering some power to those that agree to be your minion to fight Tirek, who can drain magic away from ponies. Therefore it could easily backfire and be stuck with a debt to you.

Yeah no thanks. At least Bowser's offer were more balanced than that when he had the Star Rod.

[Yes he's completely seriously. He worked for him before when he was still connected to the community.]

You're forgetting the important part. If you get drained, I can fix that. And are you in any less debt to me if I go stop him myself?

How many times would you be willing to re-power somepony before you get fed up with it and decide that minion is useless to you? Most overlords would usually dispose of a "useless" minion that failed them too many times.

Then you're lucky I'm an Overlord who's spent two damn years on this lousy world and I've actually learned a little appreciation for pony spirits, aren't you?

[After trying to stop Yuko and Feena and failing, and speaking with his double, he realizes that they don't have much of a choice. It's either take Zetta's offer or risk Tirek winning.]

....Fine. I'll do it.

...I probably should be more suspicious of that pause, but sweet. Welcome aboard. Show up at the castle and I'll process your paperwork.
