"Go on, I am listening," T'Challa said as Grogar spoke his proposal to the king of Wakanda.

"All right, your highness, this is your trump card," Grogar explained. "You surrender your entire kingdom over to me and I will not plan any invasion of Wakanda at any time. Nobody dies, nobody gets hurt. Just a harmless and simple instruction."

But to T'Challa, this wasn't just a harmless and simple instruction. There was no doubt in his mind that Grogar had plans for Wakanda and they weren't of the non-violent variety.

"Why should I trust you when you make the lives of others so miserable?" he asked. "Wakanda is a kingdom that wants no harm from anyone. My cousin tried to overthrow me and he failed!"

"Yes, I remember your cousin. In fact, he is sitting in Hell serving his sentence for the crimes he has committed against you T'Challa."

Activating his horns, Grogar produced a picture of T'Challa's American cousin sitting in a jail cell surrounded by other tormented souls.

"Killmonger, his name is I presume. If you also agree to my demands, perhaps I can work something out in freeing him from his prison."

"He died a free man and he will stay a free man as long as he remains dead," T'Challa retorted, walking over to his cell's desk. "It would be better for the both of us."

"Me or him?"

"Him."

Grogar merely chuckled at this petty excuse T'Challa was giving him. He had no patience and was not going to tolerate any such excuses.

"It's no wonder why you chose to be king of Wakanda. You only give the second chances to those who deserve it. If your cousin doesn't deserve a second chance, then why not your fellow comrades?"

Grogar then produced another picture, this time of the incarcerated Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy sitting in their cells.

"Don't they deserve a second chance? I'll give you a second to answer. Tick tock! Time's up! They don't. In fact, I have plans for all of them."

"What plans?" T'Challa asked, realizing what Grogar's true intentions were.

"Plans to spill their blood for the glory of Tambeleon, of course," he remarked. "Then, of course, Chrysalis will want to consume any love inside of them while Tirek will probably want whatever magic is inside of them."

"You're insane!"

"Why, thank you, your highness. That really fits my character, doesn't it? I'll give you some time to think it over."

T'Challa watched with disgust as Grogar left his cell, laughing loudly. The young king felt his anger burn and his fists clenching, knowing that Grogar needed to be put to death and fast.

…

Meanwhile, Grogar returned to his throne room and looked out the window to see the enslaved ponies of Equestria being forced to march with chains around their necks and ankles along with muzzles to cover their mouths.

"It's delightful, isn't it, Scarface?" he asked his pet Grizzly bear. "Four legged creatures being forced against their will to serve me and that there is nothing they can do to stop it."

He turned around sharply towards the four petrified princesses, their faces filled with terror.

"Right? Of course, now that half of Equestria serves me, perhaps it's time we send a message to the ones who survived that they will have to get used to this new way of life."

He then walked over towards the map and looked down at it.

"Maybe if we divide and conquer, that can send a message."

Just then, a blast of white light shown from the castle courtyard and Grogar raced over to see the Storm King standing over the body of a near dead pony. Taking the staff he held in his hands, he stabbed the pony through the back and killed him. Sensing an idea coming to his mind, Grogar made his way down to the courtyard and stood in front of his captives.

"Get on your knees and kneel before your emperor!" barked the Storm King.

"You heard him," added Cozy Glow, yelling in the ears of one of the young ponies. "Kneel!"

"I see you are all getting acquainted to your new roles as my subjects," he said. "Well, let me assure you that it is going to get worse before it gets better. Storm King, Cozy Glow, I want to see you and the others in my throne room immediately!"

Doing as they were told, the villains were once again gathered in the throne room standing in front of Grogar and his map.

"Your forceful nature on the new subjects has been good," he said. "Now that we have conquered half of Equestria's population, we must now divide amongst our victory."

"How do you propose we do that?" asked Tirek.

"By going to the various kingdoms in question, of course," answered Grogar. "There is no doubt that the other kingdoms will be preparing a counterattack. So, we prevent any kind of the sort from taking place."

He then directed his attention towards the villains.

"Remember when we were originally going to attack before I changed my mind?"

No one answered.

"Well, now we are going to do just that. Chrysalis, I want you and Kuwaga to contain the Changeling Kingdom."

Delighted to hear this, Chrysalis began prancing around the throne room.

"Don't get so excited about it yet, Chrysalis," cautioned Grogar, stopping her with his magic. "You need to make sure your forces are ready for battle, is that understood?"

"Uh huh," Chrysalis nodded.

"Sombra can keep his control of the Crystal Empire so that means for Tirek and Cozy Glow, you shall keep an eye on Ponyville and Canterlot."

"We won't let you down," reassured Tirek, both him and Cozy Glow bowing to him.

"Good and as for you, Storm King," finished Grogar, turning his attention to the excited satyr. "You can have your fun with the Hippogriffs on Mount Aris."

"Yes, thank you! Thank you, Goat dude!" he cried, falling down on his knees and trying to kiss Grogar's hooves. "You don't know how long I've been…"

But Grogar kicked the Storm King away from him and sighed heavily, not willing to tolerate any more annoyance.

"Was it something I said?" the Storm King asked as he got to his feet.

Suddenly, Grogar then had another idea come to fruition.

"Um, hello?"

"Silence, satyr! I have another idea!"

"What idea?"

"In order to make the conquests seem easily," he answered, walking to the doorway of his throne room. "I think we need to add some leverage to your arsenals. Follow me."

So the villains followed Grogar to the dungeons where they would come face to face with the captured Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy…
