Better Way to be Bad/Argument

This is how Better Way to be Bad and Argument goes in Frenemies.

[We then see the villains at the meeting]

Cozy Glow: Grogar wants us to work together to defeat our enemies. Which means we need to trust each other.

General Cryptor: Doh! What is taking that old goat so long?!

[Chrysalis is eating her cupcake as her magic is being drained]

Queen Chrysalis: [chewing] If we are to trust one another, perhaps inform Lord Tirek to *stop trying to absorb my essence!*

Pythor: Will you please cut that out?!

[Tirek stops]

Tirek: [spits] I wasn't doing anything of the sort! How dare you!

General Kozu: Yeah! [to Chrysalis] No offense, Chrysissie.

Queen Chrysalis: How dare I?! Do you know to whom you are speaking?

[Chrysalis eats]

Tirek: How could I not? You tell your log every five minutes.

[Chrysalis protects her log]

Pythor: I suppose this is why Grogar left Cozy Glow in charge of us?

Legion of Doom: *NO! HE! DIDN'T!*

[Cozy Glow is angered, but Cryptor has an idea]

General Cryptor: Hm. I have just an idea. [to Iron Baron] Iron Baron, follow my lead.

Iron Baron: Fine.

[The lights dim as Cryptor and Iron Baron enter the spotlight]

General Cryptor: I think, I know~

A way that we can grow~

It's time to try something new, something better~

Iron Baron: No more, solo~

Trust is the way to go~

And all we need to do is work together~

Tirek: Ah, please.

No thanks, no way~

I feel the need to say~

I'm smarter, stronger~

And I don't need them too~

General Kozu: Huh!

Queen Chrysalis: Stronger?

Nadakhan: Okay, I guess we'll downplay~

Master Chen and Queen Chrysalis: How bad you got your rear end handed to you?~

General Cryptor and Cozy Glow: It's time we a try~

A better way to be bad~

Tirek, Queen Chrysalis and General Kozu: Do we really need a better way to be bad?~

Cozy Glow: United as one~

Acronix: Teamwork? Please~

What a fad~

General Cryptor: Combine all our strength~

Cozy Glow: We'll go to any length~

General Cryptor, Cozy and Iron Baron: Once we have a better way to be bad~

Iron Baron: Let's go, begin~

This time, we're gonna win~

Queen Chrysalis: The ice you're on is thin so watch what you say~

General Cryptor: I know you're in~

I think I see a grin~

Tirek: For all this pain and torture, I swear you'll pay~

General Cryptor, Cozy Glow, and Iron Baron: This time, we've got a~

Better way to be bad~

Tirek and Queen Chrysalis: Sounds like a long shot this "Better way to be bad"~

General Cryptor: United as one~

We'll make those Ninja so sad~

Krux: If we say, "Okay"~

Will you just go away?~

Cozy Glow: Once we have a better way to be bad~

General Cryptor: We want to break their friendship~

Iron Baron: We want to make them weak~

Cozy Glow: You want revenge on Starlight~

General Cryptor: You want that huge physique~

Cozy Glow: So let's increase our chances~

By working as a team~

Iron Baron: To crush our enemies to dust~

General Cryptor: And laugh as they all scream~

[The villains laugh evilly]

Tirek: I think I see a better way to be bad~

Queen Chrysalis: Just with me in charge, make me Queen~

You'll be glad~

General Cryptor: No! Listen to us!~

Iron Baron: We're the best of us thirteen!~

Legion of Doom: Then you'll see a better way to be bad~

General Cryptor: Hey!

This is our thing~

A better way to be bad~

Queen Chrysalis: You shall do as I command~

I will rule this triad~

Cozy Glow: Hey!

This is *our* song~

Legion of Doom: Sorry, not any longer~

A better way to be bad~

General Cryptor: Now you're making us mad~

Tirek: Won't the ponies be sad?~

Queen Chrysalis: Now it makes me so glad~

Legion of Doom: Now we got~

A better way to be baaaaaad!~

[They pose as the song ends]

Iron Baron: Hey! You stepped on our cue!

[The villains start arguing]

[Grogar and the Omega return, angered]

Grogar: *Enough*!

[The villains are terrified to see them. Cryptor steps up]

General Cryptor: Oh! I assure you, Lord Grogar, everything is under control. [to Iron Baron] Right?

Iron Baron: Uh, yes. We assure you, Emperor, we are getting along very well.

The Omega: I doubt it.

Grogar: Omega is right.

General Kozu: My Lords, we were just wondering what the plan was.

Pythor: Do you even have a plan?

Grogar: Of course I have a plan! I have located an object of power, and it occurs to me this is the perfect test. You will work together to retrieve it. Against this item, those ponies won't stand a chance.

General Cryptor: My Lord, you seem to be making your best friend feel left out.

The Omega: [to Grogar] And they wonder why the Overlord proved he was the greatest villain by defeating his enemies and separating them before either of them could.

Grogar: You're telling me.

[He turns to Cryptor]

Grogar: Nonsense, General. And since I fairly undoubted you, I am choosing you to lead the mission.

Legion of Doom: What?!

General Cryptor: My Lord, I am unsure about such a role.

Grogar: I trust you, General. The point is, you are now my right hand Nindroid and my loyal second-in-command.

General Kozu: Why can't I lead?! I'm a general, too!

Queen Chrysalis: I have come close to ruling Equestria several times. I should be the one to lead us.

Cozy Glow: I nearly drained all the magic from Equestria! That was good!

Tirek: I absorbed all the magic of Equestria! I could feel it flowing through my body as I grew!

Legion of Doom: [arguing]

[Cryptor and Iron Baron facepalm]

[Angered, Grogar ties them to a wall]

Legion of Doom: [grunt]

The Omega: Only the Overlord has succeeded in conquering Equestria by separating your enemies.

Grogar: Our power is greater than all of yours combined. This is but a fraction of it! Understood?!

Legion of Doom: Uh-huh?

[They are released]

General Cryptor: My Lord, what is your wish?

Grogar: You shall retrieve the rest of the power.

Master Chen: I'd like to hear this. [cackles] Please, Grogar, enlighten us.

[Grogar uses his magic to reveal a flashback]

Grogar: [narrating] Thousands of moons ago, the self-righteous Gusty the Great, unable to best me face-to-face, stole my Bewitching Bell. A talisman containing much of my own magic. Gusty hid it in a place it has taken me millennia to discover – an enchanted cave high atop Mt. Everhoof, protected by magical winds that prevent anypony from reaching its peak. There, the Bell has remained until now.

[The flashback ends]

General Cryptor: You want me to lead the mission in bringing you your Bewitching Bell.

Grogar: Yes.

General Cryptor: I will not fail you, my Emperor.

[The Omega talks to Grogar]

The Omega: I've noticed the Alicorns of the Sun, Moon, Love, and Friendship starting to care a lot about the Ninja. They started seeing each other as a family and want to understand what it's like to be one of them. They even considered thinking of making Ninjago their new permanent home.

Grogar: But?

The Omega: But I am uncertain the Nindroid can succeed.

Grogar: Once Cryptor brings me my Bewitching Bell, he shall rule Equestria by our side.

[The Omega grins]

[Grogar cackles]

[But he feels a vision of Cryptor's demise]
