"Miss you? Not at all!" Comstock replied, "If anything, you're the last person I wanted to see." Celestia just stood there, unmoving. "Comstock, what have you become?" Comstock smiled. "Why I'm glad you asked your majesty, I have evolved into a superior being. I have surpassed you, and the other three princesses." Comstock's smile changed instantly to a look of pure hatred. "But I think it's safe to say you're not here to hear my life story." Celestia moved closer, "Comstock, I don't want to harm you. Stop this madness. I can help you." Comstock shook with rage. "SO YOU WANT TO HELP ME, DON'T YOU? WEL FOR STARTERS YOU CAN BRING BACK MY COUSIN!!" Celestia stopped where she was. She looked at Comstock with pity. "You know I can't do that Comstock." Comstock laughed madly. "OF COURSE YOU CAN'T," he yelled, "IT'S NOT IN YOUR POWER TO DO SO!!! AND YET HE WAS SLAUGHTERED BY YOUR TROOPS!!!" Comstock turned around, "I SEE YOU BROUGHT A GUEST!!! HOW'S THE SINGLE LIFE BEEN TREATING YOU?!" Chrysalis stepped out of the shadows. "I know you're angry, but killing my husband, as well as killing thousands of the forest's inhabitants, is not the answer." Comstock glared at Chrysalis. "It's not my fault their weak, my only sin is being strong." Comstock snarled, "That's the way it's always been. The weak exist only to serve the strong." He then noticed some thing new about both Celestia,  and Chrysalis, their horns were glowing. "Oh my," Comstock exclaimed mockingly "Glowing horns! Woe is me!" He then laughed. "What do you plan to accomplish exactly?" Celestia stepped forward. "Doing what I should have done twenty-five years ago." Comstock laughed. "Is the wittle pwincess going to send the mean ol' monster to the moon?" Comstock asked "GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!" Celestia continued toward Comstock. "No," she began. "The moon is too good for you. Now I know it is impossible to change what you have become. Therefore, Chrysalis and I will seal you away so your path of bloodshed will stop for good." Comstock laughed, "Really? Sealing me away? I know I'm hated. I can feel the hatred. Especially from the ruler of equestria herself. It clouds your minds. That's the only reason for this farce." Both Celestia and Chrysalis stopped. They had gotten close enough. "What you sense is not hatred," celestia replied. "But pity." Comstock's face contorted in rage. "PITY ME?!" He screeched "YOU ACTUALLY PITY ME!!! FIRST YOU KILL MY BROTHER!!!" He then turned to Chrysalis. "THEN YOU HAVE THE NERVE TO TEAM UP SO YOU CAN GET RID OF ME!!! AND NOW YOU'RE SAYING YOU PITY ME?! NO ONE PITIES ME!!! PITY IS FOR THE WEAK!!! I AM SUPERIOR TO EVERY LIVING THING IN EXISTANCE!!!" a bright light formed above his head. As tendrils of light descended towards Comstock, Celestia looked at the sad creature before her. "The fact that you think of yourself as a superior being," Celestia began. "Is what truly makes you pitiful." Suddenly, the tendrils of light pierced Comstock's torso and legs. New tendrils formed in their place. Slamming into the ground. Forming a cage of light. Comstock looked around. And then looked back at celestia. "You think this is over? I will break free, and you won't be strong enough to stop me." The floor of the cage began to glow. And grew smaller as the cage descended into the ground. "Let's see you escape that." Celestia replied. Finally the cage had fully sunk into the ground. The beast known as Comstock was no more. Celestia wished there had been a way to prevent this. Just then, Celestia heard a foal's cries. She looked down. Where Comstock had stood, a small foal lay crying. On his flank was a winged shield. She then heard a voice whisper in her ear. It was a mare's voice. "This foal is to grow up to be the opposite of the monster known as Comstock. Or rather, the new ruler of tartarus, lord zeryl. I will explain soon enough."
