Prologue

In the land of Mordor…..

Where the shadows lie……

It was in this land that the dark lord Sauron waged war over the free people of Middle earth…….

He was then defeated by a last alliance of men and and elves…..

For two and a half thousand years the people of Middle earth enjoyed peace, thinking that Sauron was gone for good…..

But they were wrong….

He has returned to Mordor and he will bring darkness to all…….

It was on the darkest of nights that the dark lord returned as his servants of Uruks swarmed all over the black gate, killing all the rangers of Gondor in their way. Leading the invasion were the black captains. The black captains were the greatest of Saurons’ servants as each one of the three represent a side of of the dark lord himself.

The Hammer represented the power of Sauron as he was cursed after he picking up the fallen mace of Sauron after his defeat and from feeling the power he knew that he would want to serve the dark lord.

The Tower represented the horror and viciousness of Sauron as he was the lead torturer as he loved to hear the screams of his victims.

Finally there was the Black Hand as he was the most dangerous of the three. Not much as know about him, some say he was once a king from the east who brought Sauron the heads of two Istari as gifts. Others say that he returned across the seas with Sauron after the fall of Númenor. But what people may say, he represents deceit and manipulation and that his presence spreads terror on the battle field.

After the have taken back the Black gate, the three captains headed to the ruin fortress of  Barad-dûr where Sauron decided to stay after his stay in dol guldur. As they entered the ruin fortress, the Hammer was a bit nervous.

“What do we say to him?” he asked which the Tower answered.

“We tell him that we have re-captured the Black gate and Mordor will soon be his again.”

“Not that, I mean with the ring-maker. We didn't get him.”

“You didn’t capture the ring-maker? Explain yourself immediately.”

“I thought you were the one to capture his soul, how was I suppose to-”

“Silence.” The two captains looked at the Black hand as he was walking a bit faster then them. “We will tell him that we will track down Celebrimbors’ spirit and capture him.”

“I just wish we could have tortured that Ranger’s family.” the Tower said.

“Humph...Yeah we should have killed that ranger from the black gate slowly and painfully.”  the Hammer chuckled but was silenced by the Black Hand.

“You always seem to want the deaths that way, we have no time for such things when we must make sure that other rangers do not reach us.” Black Hand motioned himself towards the Hammer, his posture showing stern and assertiveness.

“Your worried about them reaching us?”

“No you idiot, I just don’t want them meddling in our master’s way.”

“I can assure you that they won’t, no ranger has gotten past us yet and I will continue to make sure of that. Besides the Warchiefs will deal with any survivors.”

“Good now be silent, we are here.” The Black Hand said as they came across two huge doors, guarded by two Uruks. With a quick motion of his hand the two Uruks opened the doors and the Black Captains went inside. As soon as the entered, doors closed by behind them.

The room was almost pitch black with flames placed in certain areas to barely illuminate the room. The walls and floors were carved from stone and placed perfectly against each other without fail. At the far end of the room lied an empty throne, but the Black Captains knew all too well as they walked towards the empty throne and bowed down to it.

“We have returned my lord.” The Black Hand said as all of a sudden a shadow fell upon over the throne as the room was filled with the presence that the Black Captains knew. A dark, menacing voice filled with anger filled the room as the voice came from the shadow is it lingered over the throne.

“You have returned, my humble servants.”

“We have come to report on what is happening so far my lord.” The Tower said with a bow.

“Have you re-taking the black gate?”

“Yes my lord, your army is spreading all over Mordor. Its only a matter of time before they find any stragglers and kill them.”

“Good and how about my ring maker, did you perform the blood sacrifice?” The shadow asked as neither of the captains would answer, even the Black Hand was hesitant on telling their master.

“Well my lord. There was some… issues that arose upon us collecting him. Suffice to say, we lost him.” Black Hand as well as the two other captains could feel the pure rage coming from their lord. “Forgive us lord, I beg of you.”

“I am not in the mood for failures, I should have you three tortured!!” Sauron roared as the Black Captains flinched. “But lucky to you, I have a task for you to do.”

“What ever it is, we will succeed.” Black Hand said with a bow.

“I need you three to go to a far away land, a land filled with disgusting things such as hope, peace and harmony.”

“What land is this?”

“Equestria.” The mere mentioning of the name filled the dark lord with disgust.

“Equestria, why do we need to go to that place?” The Hammer asked

“I want you to go to Tartarus and bring back one of my servants.”

“And how will we reach Tartarus in this place called Equestria my lord?” the Tower asked. “If this servant is locked away there, then reaching Tartarus will not be easy.”

“I will teleport you three there and once you get inside you will face many guards but I’m sure that they won't be a problem.”

“Ha I think we can handle a bunch of ponies my lord.” The Hammer said as the Black Hand had a question.

“Who will we be bringing back my lord?”

“A captain you knew well and an enforcer among my soldiers, Tirek.”

Tartarus, where the most vile and corrupted of souls go when nothing else can contain them. It is a prison for only the worse offenders to all of Equestria and it is the home to the one being who nearly succeeded in destroying all of ponykind, Lord Tirek.

He was almost close to his goal of consuming all the magic in Equestria until he was recently  defeated by Twilight Sparkle and her friends with the power of the Harmony box which stripped him away of all the magic that he has stolen, which caused all the ponies in Equestria to gain their magic back and shrinking him down to his weak form. Now here he was, shackled again in Tartarus with hate and rage filling up every inch of body.

“I will have my revenge on you Twilight as I will make you and your friends suffer as I -” He stopped mid sentence as he started to hear something coming towards his cell.

He listened in and heard the sound of two footsteps coming towards him, he looks closer and sees a shadow a few metres away from his cell “So Scorpan, have you come here to gloat or to cuddle me.”

“Do not mistake me for your foolish brother.” The figure spoke as three more figure came in from behind.

“Who are you, show yourself!” Tirek ordered with his rage.

“Oh come on now Tirek, don't tell us that you don't remember us.” The figure stepped out of the shadow as a wave of shock fell over Tirek's face.

“You.”

“It has been a long time, hasn’t it Tirek?” the Black Hand spoke. “If I’m not mistaken, you use to be taller.”

“What are you three doing here?”

“Isn't it obvious?” The Tower asked. “The dark lord has summoned you to Mordor.”

Tirek knew very well on what that meant, he could never forget his master and how he was the one who freed him in the first place to conquer Equestria. He also knew that it was not an option to say no since he was once again weak and unable to even break free of his imprisonment.

“You don’t have much of a choice Tirek. Whether you agree or not, you coming with us. Besides I thought you wanted to get out of Tartarus?” The Black Hand said with a grin.

“What about the guards, we will have to fight-”

“They are all dead. Hard to believe you couldn’t kill them despite being an enforcer.” Tirek had almost forgotten the ‘mercy’ that the dark lords’ servants show towards their enemies.

“*Sigh* Seeing as I have no options left, I will answer Saurons’ call.”

“Good.” And with a quick motion the Black Hand pulled out his sword and slashed through the cell bars and then through the chains holding Tirek. “Now let’s go.”

A portal then opened in front of them “After you Tirek.”

Tirek followed the order and walked into the portal, followed by the three captains. Once the Hammer entered through, the portal closed, leaving only the destroyed cell as their proof of their presence can be showed.
