[The Overlord shows the Alicorns his collection of ancient artifacts]

The Overlord: A scale from the Great Devourer, a fossilized remains of a Fangpyre, the Four Silver Fangblades made from the Great Devourer's teeth, a replica of the Anacondrai Staff, and this. [stops at an Anacondrai Sword] An Anacondrai Sword. [takes the sword and feels the blade] Nearly the sharpest blade in existence. [uses the sword to cut a piece of fabric] Fit for the greatest warrior to ever do battle in Equestria. [puts the sword back]

Princess Celestia: Why are you showing us all this? You do realize without that staff in your hands, we could get our magic back?

Princess Luna: Yeah.

Princess Cadance: You'd be powerless.

Twilight Sparkle: You'd lose easily.

The Overlord: Pythor was right. Even without your Alicorn Magic, the energy burns bright in you. Unlike you and your Unicorn counterparts, I was born only with dark power abilities. I was told I would amount to nothing. But I will show them they're all wrong! Look!

[The Overlord shows them a picture of a spell]

The Overlord: I call it, The Charge of the Dark Brigade. It's amazing, isn't it? The reds, the purples, the super dark purples. After I defeat your friends and take their magic, I will have all the power I need to conjure a spell that will resurrect the entire Anacondrai tribe. With you and your friends weak and magicless, nothing will stop me. But I've seen inside your heads, my sweets. You're still that same someone that would be or was going to destroy me, it could've been you four. Have you all ever wondered what it would be like to have so much power pulsing through your veins?

Princess Celestia: No.

Princess Luna: I've felt it once.

Princess Cadance: I haven't.

Twilight Sparkle: Me neither.

The Overlord: There is so much potential in you, princesses. I want to give you the chance to find it by ruling by my side.

Princess Celestia: We would never join you.

Princess Luna: Especially if I turned into Nightmare Moon.

Princess Cadance: It would cause chaos.

Twilight Sparkle: All friendships would be destroyed.

The Overlord: Of course. But what if I also told you there were secrets about all four of you that your friends never told you?

[The princesses gasp]

The Overlord: Dark secrets.

Princess Celestia: Secrets? What secrets?

Princess Luna: What do you know about secrets?

Princess Cadance: There's no such thing as Dark Secrets.

Twilight Sparkle: We don't need anymore information about our pasts.

The Overlord: So many questions that can so easily be answered. Join me and I will tell you.

[Pythor and the Nindroids arrive]

[Pythor goes to the Overlord]

Pythor P. Chumsworth: It is nearly time, my master.

The Overlrod: [to the Alicorns] Think about it.

[He leaves]

[Pythor and the Nindroids follow]
