14->'' “You wouldn’t ''believe'' how much convincing it took to get the Director to threaten Canterlot the way he did. Say what you will about his creepy obsession with his dead wife, the man still has principles. Sorry, had principles. I guess the vague promise of finding you and whatever secrets you might hold towards bringing back Allison was too much for him to refuse. And with that, the conflict with Project Freelancer escalated to a legitimate war! It was no longer just a fight to cover Celestia’s collaboration with the Director: the lives of Equestrian citizens became at stake."''

17->"Do it," Celestia says. She looks up at me. "Whatever it takes, as long as you don't get yourself arrested. Whatever she's done, whoever she's hurt...I'm leaving it up to you. She's hurt you more than anybody else. You deserve justice...and I get the feeling you're right. I can't get your justice for you." She takes a deep breath. "Just...just one question." She looks me in the eyes. "Is...is [[spoiler:Sunset Shimmer]] responsible for...for everything that's gone on this year?"
18->"Yes," I say without hesitation. "Either directly or indirectly, [[spoiler:Sunset Shimmer]] is behind ''everything''."

21->Cosmo sneered. “I must respectfully disagree. Everything all of you have done in this war has been in accordance with my will. You are far too predictable, sister. By allowing you to conduct this laughable resistance, you have effectively rounded up each and every pony who is bold and foolish enough to oppose my divine rule. Once they have been wiped out, all of Equestria will fall at my hooves. What's more, you were kind enough to remove the barrier that was preventing me from procuring the Elements of Harmony.” He flared his wings and his horn began to shimmer with magic. “Your failure is absolute! None can challenge my power, and with the Elements in my possession, nopony ever will! I will rule this kingdom forever!”

24->''"You all can bark as loud as you wish, try as hard as you like, but [[TheUnfettered I will not yield]]. You have not an idea what truly awaits you all. You are probably thinking no matter what I say, no matter what creature I send, no matter what I do, [[TheGoodGuysAlwaysWin my defeat is inevitable]]. [[BringIt Go ahead and think that]]. That singular thought is a spark. A spark that incites hope and ignites the hearts of your weary souls. [[HopeCrusher I will extinguish that flame]]."''

31->'''Mrs. Price''': This is one of Johann Davis's earliest drawings. See the villain's eyes? They're larger than the other characters'. They - insinuate a slightly skewed perspective on how they see the world. Just off normal.\
32'''David Dunn''': Doesn't look scary.\
33'''Mrs. Price''': That's what I said to my son. But he says there's always two kinds; there's the soldier villain - who fights the hero with his hands; and then there's the real threat - the brilliant and evil archenemy - who fights the hero with his mind.

41-->--''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheGobletOfFire''
42
43->''"For years past I have continually been conscious of some power behind the malefactor, some deep organising power which forever stands in the way of the law, and throws its shield over the wrong-doer. Again and again in cases of the most varying sorts--forgery cases, robberies, murders--I have felt the presence of this force, and I have deduced its action in many of those undiscovered crimes in which I have not been personally consulted. For years I have endeavoured to break through the veil which shrouded it, and at last the time came when I seized my thread and followed it, until it led me, after a thousand cunning windings, to ex-Professor Moriarty of mathematical celebrity. [[TheChessmaster He is the Napoleon of crime, Watson. He is the organiser of half that is evil and of nearly all that is undetected in this great city.]]"''
44-->--'''Literature/SherlockHolmes''', ''"The Final Problem"''
45
46->''"The man pervades London, [[NoOneSeesTheBoss and no one has heard of him]]. That's what puts him on a pinnacle in the records of crime. I tell you, Watson, in all seriousness, that if I could beat that man, if I could free society of him, I should feel that my own career had reached its summit, and I should be prepared to turn to some more placid line in life. Between ourselves, the recent cases in which I have been of assistance to the royal family of Scandinavia, and to the French republic, have left me in such a position that I could continue to live in the quiet fashion which is most congenial to me, and to concentrate my attention upon my chemical researches. But I could not rest, Watson, I could not sit quiet in my chair, if I thought that such a man as Professor Moriarty were walking the streets of London unchallenged."''

49->Think of every fairy-tale villainess you've ever heard of. Think of those [[WickedWitch wicked witches]], the [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen evil queens]], the [[EvilSorceress mad enchantresses]]. Think of the alluring sirens, [[OurOgresAreHungrier the hungry ogresses]], [[MoreDeadlyThanTheMale the savage she-beasts]]. Think of them and remember that somewhere, sometime, [[AllMythsAreTrue they've all been real]].\
50[[TheFairFolk Mab]] gave them ''lessons''.

53->There is always one of these in the background of every Tour, attempting to ruin everything and TakeOverTheWorld. He will be so sinister that he will be seen only once or twice, [[OrcusOnHisThrone probably near the end of the Tour]]. Generally, he will attack you through minions (''forces of terror, bound to his will''), of which he will have large numbers. When you do get to see him at last, you will not be surprised to discover he is [[ColourCodedForYourConvenience black and shadowy]] and [[HumanoidAbomination probably not wholly human]]. He will make you feel very cold and small. Actually, when it comes down to it, [[NonActionBigBad that is probably all he will do]], having almost certainly exhausted his other resources earlier on. You should be able to defeat him, [[ThePowerOfFriendship with a little help from your companions]], without too much effort. However, [[TheoryOfNarrativeCausality the Rules]] state that at this stage, [[DramaPreservingHandicap you will be exhausted yourself and probably wounded by magic]]. So be careful.
