Uncharted Land to the East

Two ponies walked down a dimly lit hall. The first pony was a pink filly with a purple mane and a cutie mark depicting a bright red hart engulfed in flames. At first glance, one might mistake her for a pegasus; however, she had the wings of a bat and a long whip-like tail tipped with a spike. Her companion was a thin white unicorn stallion with a black tail and no mane. His cutie mark was a pony's skull. His eyes were pure white and seemingly lifeless; in fact, his entire body gave off the appearance of a walking corpse.

"It's unusual for Blutknochen to call everypony at once," the unicorn said in a raspy Italian accent. "Oni-Hime, perhaps you could shed some light on your padre's plan?"

"Otō-san doesn't tell me any more than he tells you, Morte-san," the filly replied in a Japanese accent.

"His last plan was of no value whatsoever," Morte said with disdain.

"Careful, that sounds like treason," Oni-Hime glared. "We wouldn't be summoned like this if there wasn't a big plan."

The two entered a large chamber with a large circular table in the center. The table was surrounded by six chairs, each with a different word written in different languages. The nearest chair going left was written, Yokubō, Avidità, Fluch, Wrath, Bedrag, and Trahison. Oni-Hime sat down at the chair labeled Yokubō, and Morte sat at the chair labeled Avidità.

"The others are late," noted Morte.

"I'm sure they will be here soon," said Oni-Hime.

The door slammed open and an angry, red pegasus stallion, barged in. The stallion had a black mane, a braided tail, and a flaming pentagram cutie mark.

"What's wrong with you, Damned-san?" asked Oni-Hime.

"I was about to turn this sickeningly peaceful town to rubble…" Damned hissed. "AND THEN BUCKING BLUTKNOCHEN DECIDES TO CALL ME HERE!" he fumed as he sat in the chair labeled wrath. "Where is he anyway?"

"Nowhere to be found," said Morte. "Whatever he has planned had better be profitable."

"That's just TYPICAL now, isn't it!?" Damned yelled as he kicked the underside of the table with a loud bang.

"I get that your element is wrath, but your violent outbursts are annoying," Oni-Hime complained.

"You rarely live up to your element at all!" growled Damned. "Don't bitch at me about mine!"

"It's not my fault none of you are attractive enough for me," Oni-Hime replied smugly.

"I see you're all getting along, how delightful," said a skinny green earth pony stallion, with a blond mane, goatee, a cutie mark of a pair of crossed hooves and a Norwegian accent.

"Oh buck off, Løgner!" Damned spat.

"You don't need to be so hostile," Løgner said as he sat in the Bedrag seat. "I assume Blutknochen knows about your little excursions, ja?"

"How did you find out about that?" asked Damned.

"You just told me," Løgner answered.

"Bucking prick," Damned muttered under his breath.

"Is Damned whining like a child again?" asked a green pegasus mare with a red mane, bacteria cutie mark, and French accent.

"Oh great, first I have to deal with Løgner, now this bitch" Damned groaned.

"I cannot imagine why you are so hostile toward moi," the pegasus said in mock indignation as she sat in the chair labeled Trahison.

"YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID, MALADE!" roared Damned.

"I don't see why it still bothers you so much. You got out of prison, non?" Malade retorted

"I WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IF YOU HADN'T ABANDONED ME!" the red pony shouted as his body ignited.

Before the bickering could continue, an icy chill took over the room. "Always arguing over nothing," said a deep voice in a German accent.

A large black alicorn stallion with a cutie mark depicting a ruby red rosary materialized out of the darkness. "I'm sure you all are wondering why I've summoned you."

"Sì."

"Hai, Otōsan!"

"NO SHIT!"

"Ja."

"Oui."

"Gut! We previously thought mein last experiment was ein failure. While we managed to drag ein large chunk of land through the portal, the only human we found was comatose from direct exposure to the void between our worlds," Blutknochen explained. "However, recently, I've been sensing an interesting magic signature. One unique to Discord and humans. Seeing as Discord is still trapped in stone, this only leaves us with one possibility."

"You mean there is a second human?" asked Morte.

"Exactly," Blutknochen said as he sat in the Fluch chair.

"This signature, where is it?" asked Malade.

"In Equestria, from what I can tell somewhere in the Everfree Region," Blutknochen explained.

"You don't think it may have fallen into Celestia's hooves, do you?" asked Løgner.

"I'm afraid that may be exactly what has happened," Blutknochen sighed.

"If Celestia has control over the human, then it is a threat. We should neutralize it before she has a chance to harness its power against us," Malade suggested.

"After all that work vi put into bringing it here?" asked Løgner.

"Indeed, acquiring the spell books off the black market was quite expensive, are you suggesting we let it all go to waste?" asked Morte.

"As much as I HATE Malade, I have to agree; we should get rid of it," said Damned before giving an unhinged grin. "Let me do it, my Hellfire won't even leave his bones behind!"

"I think you are all forgetting your place," said Oni-Hime. "What do you think we should do, Otō-san?"

"The human is an essential component to mein plan," said Blutknochen. "If we play our cards right, we can still use it," The black alicorn teleported a map of Equestria onto the table. "The only settlement in the region I've sensed the signatures, is here," he said, pointing at the map "Ponyville."

"Can I blow it up?" Damned, asked eagerly.

"Dummkopf," Blutknochen muttered. "Nein, we need the human intact. I have something more subtle in mind," he said as he turned to his daughter. "Oni-Hime, I'd like you to infiltrate Ponyville, find the human, and report back to me."

"Hai!" the filly responded. "I will leave immediately."

"Excellent," said Blutknochen, as he turned to the corpse like unicorn to his right. "I have ein task for you as well, Morte. There are many graves for you to plunder in the human settlements we summoned."

"Sì signore," Morte said as he got out of his seat.

"What about us?" asked Damned. "You can't tell us to do nothing while the slut and the thief get all the fun!"

"Your time will come, Damned. I promise there will be plenty for you to destroy in the coming months."

"Fine!" Damned spat. "I'll wait."

"Wunderbar! Meeting adjourned," said Blutknochen.

Once the other ponies left, the alicorn pulled out a crown with a gem, shaped like his cutie mark, "You've stopped me time and time again, Celestia. This time Harmony will fall, and Chaos will reign. Then I can finally achieve mein goal."

Author's Note:

Ok so this is my first time writing for villains so I'd like some honest feedback here. Did I do well? Did I do poorly? If I didn't do well what could I change to make it good. If I did what could I do to make it better? As for the accents honestly at first I tried to write the accents in, but they ended up sounding racist as fuck to me (The European accents too not just the Japanese.) I guess the Apple family accent seems fine to me because I have a similar accent myself.
