[The Overlord flings his scroll open dramatically, letting purple mana power wash over it as he steps back to lift one foreleg dramatically.]

In honor of our returnees, I'm pleased to announced the opening of Overlord Zetta's official Friend and Lover Matchmaking service! Want the chance to make a friend? Care to try a blind date? These ties of togetherness are our strongest bond against Calice, so now's the time to grow them and make new ones!

Sign up with your basic preferences and preferred service, and my elite team of matchmaking minions will send you the time and place to meet your new friend or date. And in honor of putting the screws to our nemesis, this service is absolutely freaking free!

I claimed Equestria as my domain a while back. Even got the cosmic proof.

[Zetta fans his wings out demonstratively.]

[visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Oookaaaay. Are those real? Or are your minions holding those wings up next to you?

[Rather than get huffy at the implication as he once would have, Zetta just chuckles.] Ask around. I got an official coronation and everything.

[visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Wait. So you're alicorn royalty now but you haven't made us into your slaves or anything like that. Am I understanding correctly? What changed?! At the start you were a criminal and disrupting the peace and stuff.

...Are you a 'princess' now?

[visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

No! I'm an Overlord! Do I freaking LOOK like a chick?!

[At least, in some ways, some things never change. Like an Overlord's temper.]

[visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

[Okay Zetta's outburst just made it funny.]

All the alicorns are called princesses. Just saying that'd be the logical title around here! 'Princess' carries a different sort of meaning in Equestria.

So uh getting back to my question. You've been straightening out your lifestyle?

[visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

They were all called princesses because they were all GIRLS till I came along! [The Overlord flails one hoof impotently in the air, trying to emphasize the point.] I'm an Overlord! And still living THAT lifestyle, thank you very much!

Riiiight. You're still a thief even though everyone in Equestria knows who you are and would tattle on you to the other princesses. Unless you're the Princess of Crime or something like that, I'm pretty sure you can't do evil and live up to your title at the same time.

Wasn't Twilight chosen by the Elements to be a princess? They wouldn't choose you if you were still an evil overlord.

[Wally leans in towards the scroll and grins.]

Are you saying all this just because you want to deny that you're a princess of some sort of lovey-dovey friendship power?

[Revenge for rainbow-stealing and other acts of trouble was best served with a tiara.]

[There comes a point where insults stop working Zetta up, and that point usually coincided with an entirely coincidental fluffing of his ego. The Overlord smirked, arching his neck grandiosely.]

Leave that to Twilight Sparkle and Cadence. My aspect is power.

[visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

You're powerful. Yes. But really what does that title truly mean? What does it mean to be powerful in a world that runs on rainbow power?

[visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[Just ask the Overlord about the lesson he'd learned in all his time here, the one that specifically earned him his wings.]

You gain supreme power by giving it up.

[visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

[Wally closes his mouth and blinks dumbly at the scroll.]

...You really have changed haven't you?

[visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Damn straight, I've got wings!

[Deliberately missing the point, or just refusing to acknowledge it? Hell, with Zetta it could somehow be both!]

[visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

That's not what I- Oh. Never mind! [Wally slaps his forehead. Some things also managed to remain the same it seemed.]

So this means we can count on you during our next confrontation with Calice, right?

[visual]

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Dumbass. You could always count on me against her.

[visual]

[selfmadespeedster]

Welp. Good luck out there.

[Wally hurries to excuse himself so he can slap his forehead and groan some more. The Elements had such strange taste in Princes or Overlords or whatever he was now.]
