[Zetta had expected -- don't even think 'feared' -- this day since he lost his Netherworld and became a pony. A great mana power appearing in Equestria. Surely another Overlord, come to attack him and attempt to claim the honor of defeating the most badass freaking Overlord in the cosmos!]

[Well, no one could say Zetta ever ran away from a fight. In a flash of magic, the mighty unicorn appears before her, his head lifted proudly to display a mane and tail doing the unmistakable flaming-into-bats-thing. His cocky grin lasts about two seconds before he blinks, then just sort of slumps out of that pose.]

Oh, it's you. Hello, Pram.

[When you're as powerful as Zetta, your magic power is pretty easy to feel even before you fully appear. If there was one thing she was dreading, it was seeing him take a look at her like this. She'd never hear the end of it. However, when he DOES appear, she's quite noticably taken aback.]

...Zetta?

[There was no mistaking it. That mana power, that voice, his stupid flaming bat hair. It all pointed to one simple conclusion. Yep, that was definitely Zetta. Upon this complete realization, Pram did the obvious.]

Pfft... Looking good there, Zetta! Very intimidating!

[She burst out into a fit of giggles.]

[Naturally, despite the fact that Pram herself is just as bad off as he is appearance-wise, Zetta is immediately annoyed.]

Shut up! I'm a fearsome specimen of ponykind! Especially compared to the rest of them!

[He doesn't mind that he's a pony, but he sure minds being told he's not an impressive one!]

[True, but Pram is also much younger than he is an much cuter. So the change is annoying, but not nearly as hilarious.]

"Fearsome specimen of ponykind"...?! Oh god, my sides!

[Another round of laughing. Thankfully she does seem to calm down...somewhat quickly.]

Hee...heehee... Whoo. I needed that.

In case you haven't noticed, everyone ends up a pony here! [He waves a hoof angrily at their Equestrian surroundings.] And on that note, how did you end up a freaking bat pony?! You should be a unicorn with all that magic!

[...just like Zetta should probably have been an earth pony, but nope, there's a horn right there on his forehead.]

I figured that out once I took a look at you. Glad it isn't just me who's stuck looking cute and cuddly.

[Not that she looked all that intimidating before, unlike most of the other Overlords.

...wait a second. What did he just say?]

...hold on. You mean that stupid horn on your head is a symbol of power? What the hell? Why didn't I get one?! I tore open the gates of the freakin' Underworld to save your little girlfriend!

[Zetta ellipses so hard it ought to be visible.]

I'm not sure what you're trying to pull, Pram, but making up crazy stories isn't going to accomplish it. Especially ones that require me to believe you did something for me, for some imaginary girlfriend!

[For Zetta, it seems, is distinctly pre-game!]

[If you could measure the amount of shock on her face in gallons you'd have enough to quench Babylon's thirst for about a thousand years.]

Oh no. Nonono, you did NOT just call me a liar. I risk my ass to help you out and you don't even wanna acknowledge it? Are you seriously doing this right now?

[You can practically hear the Z-snap in her voice.]

How stupid would I have to be to believe you would risk your ass for anyone?

[He raises a good point, doesn't he? The Overlord stomps a hoof angrily, probably betraying that he's been equine for much too long.]

Next you're going to tell me I was a book at the time, like that other guy here keeps trying to claim.

[...how does she even answer that question. Zetta's a freaking moron and yet he STILL doesn't believe her.]

Uh...but you were a book. Your Netherworld got destroyed on account of you being an idiot and you bond your soul to the Sacred Tome to save yourself. All the other Overlords showed up to laugh at you while helping you rebuild.

[Pram pauses for a minute once she finishes speaking. There's something's fishy here. There's just no way Zetta could lie to her about something like this. But that would mean...]

You...you really don't remember any of this?

...What the hell are you talking about? Sure, I tried to bind my soul to the Sacred Tome to save myself, but it didn't turn me into a BOOK!

It turned me into a FREAKING PONY! [He points a hoof furiously at himself to demonstrate.] It was all an evil plan by the Pale Pony to sabotage me and make me weaker, since she couldn't take me on at my full strength. That's why she sabotaged the Sacred Tome in the first place!

[Behold the conclusions Zetta had drawn, in the absence of Pram and the other Overlords and in conjunction with the ongoing travails he'd experienced here.]

I'm starting to wonder if she got to you, too... Whatever the case, I've been stuck here waiting for my chance to conquer this world and turn it into a Netherworld to regain my strength. Completely without any help from anyone, I might add, especially other Overlords!

[...

...

. . .

Yeah, you can actually see the little cloud above her head ellisping. That's how hard she's judging Zetta right now.]

...did you hit your head on something? That is literally the dumbest thing I've ever heard, and I've spoken to King Drake the Third. The Sacred Tome turning you into a pony? On what Netherworld does that even begin make sense? If the game had been about that, we'd all be bankrupt!

No one said it made any freaking sense! But let's spell it out simply! Step one -- [He lifts one hoof.] I bind my soul to the damn Tome. Step two... [He drops that hoof, then lifts the other one.]

...I wake up a freaking pony! It doesn't take a 1.6 million EQ to put two and two together, Pram!

[Blink. Blink. You know, he had a good point there. Except...]

Zetta. You're forgetting one thing. I'm a pony too! And I didn't bind my soul to the Tome! And if there are others here too that are in the same situation, I highly doubt they all did!

...which probably just means you got sent here before you became a bit...wordier. Heh.

Hyaaa ha ha ha ha! The answer's obvious, Pram -- I'm the only Overlord so powerful that the Pale Pony had to rely on such a cheap trick to affect! Everyone else she could handle without that kind of stunt!

[Zetta has yet to even SUSPECT the true identity of the person who meddled with the Sacred Tome.]

[...well that's good. Let's hope he never figures it out.]

...sometimes I wonder how you became the main character. Last I checked there was a requirement that included a thing called a "brain".

Edited 2014-07-02 18:38 (UTC)

The martial arts guy.

[Adell IS a pretty good counterpoint.]

Argue all you like, but you know I'm the most badass freaking Overlord in the cosmos. Even a villain like the Pale Pony ought to fear me!

I like how you don't even remember his name. Shows you how memorable he was.

[But sadly, he still isn't wrong. Thanks NIS.]

Yeah, yeah. No ones saying you aren't the biggest badass around, Zetta, least of all me. I'm just trying to get it through that thick skull of yours that I'm telling the truth. Seriously, what do I have to do to get you to believe me?

Hmm.

You're an Oracle, but the Sacred Tome contains the future of my Netherworld too, doesn't it? Maybe what you think happened was an oracular vision that didn't come true because of Pale Pony's interference.

[COMPLETELY BAFFLED???!!?! WHAT IS

THIS. WHAT.]

That...that actually makes sense. If you were sent here instead of the Cosmic Void...then...the future that was supposed to happen wouldn't have happened. Which would mean to you, I'm not from the future but an alternate timeline.

[...her mind is blown.]

Wait a minute.

So I actually got turned into a book in an alternate timeline?

[There's a very long pause.]

Aaaaaigh! That's horrible! I never thought I'd be so glad to have been turned into a pony in my life!

Yeah, you bound your soul to the Sacred Tome and essentially became it. You still had all your powers, but you'd end up falling over a lot during your evil laughing.

And your so-called "battle monkeys" had to carry you around.

[Zetta has all but scrambled back in terror at this recitation.]

Falling over while laughing!? I, the almighty Overlord Zetta, reduced to comic relief? That's -- that's --

[Abruptly, Zetta remembers a few key incidents in his time here. Key, painful, embarrassing incidents.]

That's horribly believable!

Yeah, it was pretty funny. You did get your body back, though. And your Netherworld. Thanks in no small part to yours truly.

[Nevermind the fact that it was all her fault to begin with. Not that he didn't deserve it at the time...]

[A]

1/2

2/2 I love how he seems so disappointed

What should he do, cheer? ;)

No one should cheer for Pram. Except when she's announced for DLC.

...Zetta just...said something...really smart. I'm scared.

He's been a unicorn for a year. He's actually had to use his brain!

I'm so proud of him right now.
