The Time is Near

Author's Note

Greetings, everyone! This is Joker here! This is my first story on this site. This first chapter will cover Grogar’s first stage of his master plan. Let know what you think of this chapter. I hope you all enjoy reading. :twilightsmile:

The Time is Near

It was a rainy and thunderous day in the wilderness; all the animals had to flee to their homes and protect their young from the fierce winds, rain, and lightning. As soon as the storm clouds drew nearer and nearer on top of the mountains, they poured more rain and thunder cracked loudly in the skies. Everything was dark and dreary as the storm continued to rage in Equestria.

However, as if things couldn’t get any unexpectedly darker, an evil figure presented himself. As he walked across the marshes, the mud, and the puddles, the thunder cracked even more violently and more lightning strikes spread across the atmosphere.

This figure was none other than the evil blue ram named Grogar, the Father of Monsters. Grogar fully realized that the time had come for him to take over Equestria and seize what is rightfully his.

As he walked, he thought back on his humiliating defeat at the hooves of his nemesis Gusty the Great when she rose up against him, took away his Bewitching Bell, and overcame him as a result. Though it was only a temporary setback, he was determined to recover that former power he possessed when he ruled over all he saw in pre-Equestria.

He had spent a millennia binding his time and regaining his power though it was only a fraction of what was left of his magic. He also made many plans as to how he can bring the ponies to their knees, destroy his enemies, and thus have complete domination over all Equestria.

Now, he was only a couple steps before complete victory. He grew a wicked smile as he knew exactly what to accomplish first. One step at a time is all it takes.

Grogar had finally reached to his destination. He entered into a deep cave where an ancient artifact was kept in store by Gusty for the purpose of keeping it from the wrong hooves knowing it would be dangerous to be kept around anypony. But Grogar knew what magical powers this artifact contained.

As he easily disabled the magical barrier with his magic, he cautiously walked on the cold ground in the cave. After ten minutes of wandering, he finally spotted what he was looking for.

This source of power was a red ruby that can release a glowing orb to lure victims into a trap. When they are in a vulnerable position, the orb releases tendrils to latch unto its prey. With the victims helpless to escape, the orb becomes a dark magical spirit that can possess them to turn into their evil counterparts. Grogar evilly chuckled as he used telekinesis to grab the ruby.

“Yes...the Orb Ruby is finally mine,” said Grogar. “With this artifact in my possession, I will be able to manipulate any creature I want!” But as soon as he said this, his evil smile turned into a frown. “Those three fools think they have tricked me into thinking they are still so ‘loyal’ even though they have my bell!!” he exclaimed as he angrily stomped his hoof on the ground so hard that it shook the cave.

After a moment, his evil smile returned again as he continued, “But fortunately for me, I know what they are planning behind my back thanks to my crystal ball, and I intend to show them what true power is all about through the element of surprise.”

“I have been waiting and preparing my entire life for this moment. I will retake what was stolen from me and utilize the means through which I can reach my former glory...and then finish what I STARTED!!!” he shouted with determination.

He walked out of the cave with the Orb Ruby and continued to walk across the landscape as the storm raged on, foreshadowing the darkness that will fall on Equestria.

As Grogar continued trotting, his golden bells on his collar began to flicker; his flickering bells were a signal that somepony… or someone was calling him. Grogar answered the call by activating a spell through which he can communicate with the contacter.

As the spell was activated, a deep mysterious voice was heard, “GROGAR…I HAVE GOOD NEWS THAT DESERVE YOUR ATTENTION.”

Grogar smiled, “Ahhh, my dear friend…what news do you bring?”

“YOUR BELL IS KEPT IN STORE WITHIN THE MEETING ROOM OF YOUR LACKEYS, AND THEY HAVE ALREADY LEFT THE LAIR TO INITIATE THEIR PLAN. THIS IS YOUR CUE TO COMMENCE YOUR PLAN.” the mysterious voice reported.

“Excellent,” Grogar commended. “This will work perfectly for me.” He rubbed his wicked hooves together as he contemplated his inevitable victory.

“The time of loss and humiliation is now past and the time of vengeance and glory is come. I will reclaim what was taken from me a millennia ago. Gusty won’t be here to stop me this time!”

“In the meantime, I need you to send your spy to oversee their occupation; when they return, let me know. When the time is right, they shall feel my wrath and witness my ultimate power that I shall use to humble Equestria!! And soon…I WILL RULE OVER EVERY CREATURE!!!” Grogar exclaimed with pride.

“YESSS… THE POWER SHALL ALL BE YOURS. BUT REMEMBER OUR DEAL, GROGAR. I GIVE YOU THE MEANS TO CONQUER THIS PATHETIC WORLD AND YOU GIVE ME THE MEANS THROUGH WHICH I CAN DESTROY MY OWN FOES AND HELP REVITALIZE MY KIND.” the voice spoke.

Grogar replied calmly, “Do not worry, my friend. I will fulfill my end of the deal. After all, you helped me locate this artifact and have given me valuable information as to how I can utilize it.”

“Of course, we’ve been together for quite some time accomplishing many things. Those were a makeup for the loss I’ve suffered from Gusty. You have been a great aide so far,” said Grogar.

“INDEED. YOU ALSO HAVE PROVEN YOURSELF TO BE VERY USEFUL FOR MY CAUSE. WITHOUT YOUR MAGICAL EXPERTISE, I WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO FULFILL MY GOALS AFTER THE LOSS OF MY MASTER AND MY CLOSEST FRIEND. WE REALLY HAVE MUCH IN COMMON. WE WILL TALK AGAIN, GROGAR.” the voice finished.

“Farewell,” said Grogar. The spell then vanished and finished the call. Grogar continued his trail back to his lair to complete the first stage of his master plan.

Corruption Begins

As the storm ceased its rage, the clouds dissipated along with the ceasing of the lightning and thunder. A full night has passed during the violent storm. Celesta’s sun finally started to rise in the horizon, indicating the beginning of a new day.

In the Everfree Forest, all the animals began to roam around the woods as they start off their day. A couple of chipmunks were playing with each other, sprinting from log to log. Suddenly, their peace was interrupted.

As the critters looked up, they saw three creatures standing before them. One was a middle-aged centaur, the other a changeling, and the third a young pegasus filly. Filled with natural fear, they crawled away from the larger figures. The trio looked around to see if anypony was around.

Once they made sure they were alone, they started to converse about their plan.

“This is going to be soooo much fun! Are you guys excited about this?!” Cozy said voicing her excitement of spreading chaos.

“Indeed,” Chrysalis concurred. “So far, we are one step ahead of every pony. We need to make sure our plan goes perfectly. I will deal with the unicorns. You saw how easy it was for me to manipulate them. They might have recovered from my deception, but, even so, I can trick them again!”

“Are ponies actually that dumb? It’s like they’ll believe anything!” Tirek said. “This is exactly why we take advantage of their lack of intelligence just like how I easily tricked Discord into helping me absorb the magic of his ‘friends’. It’s really laughable.”

“Too bad Twilight and her friends won’t realize what will happen until it’s too late!” Cozy boasted.

“Yes! I can already imagine the look of fear in her eyes when she witnesses the destruction of the magic of friendship and everything she holds dear! And then after we deal with her and her friends, I’ll have my personal score settled with Starlight Glimmer!!” Chrysalis growled.

“Then no time to waste! Cozy and I will handle both the earth ponies and the pegasi.” Tirek suggested.

“Yep! Just like last time during that sun holiday.” Cozy eagerly replied. “This is going to be sweet.”

“Definitely. Let’s split up! We will rendezvous back in Grogar’s lair.” Chrysalis said.

The trio then separated and dispersed into the various parts of Equestria. But unbeknownst to them, they were spied by a dark bird-like creature with glowing yellow eyes eavesdropping on their plan. It flew after them to see what they’ll do.

Chrysalis wandered toward Canterlot for about thirty minutes until she arrived. Disguising herself as Crackle Cosette, she entered into the city, looking for an opportunity to sow seeds of distrust. It didn’t take long enough for her. She saw Fancy Pants trotting with a few of his friends down the road toward the palace. She smiled wickedly, knowing what to do.

“Greetings, sir! Would you mind if I have a word with you?” she asked him. Fancy Pants looked behind him and noticed the green unicorn running toward him.

“I apologize, but I am quite busy at the moment. Princess Celestia and I have an official meeting in her palace today, and I must not be late.” he replied.

“But it is something in regards to the earth ponies, sir!” She pleaded. She needed to be persistent if the plan was to fully succeed.

Fancy Pants thought for a moment, then answered with a sigh, “Very well. If it is something urgent, I presume. And you are...?”

She replied, “Oh yes, forgive my lack of manners. I’m Crackle Cosette, a photographer. I’m here to inform you of the plot the earth ponies are making about stealing all the wealth and bits of Canterlot. They think that they are better than we unicorns are!”

“What?! Where did you hear of this?” he demanded angrily.

“I overheard their conversation. They clearly don’t like the way we live and function here. They always have a prejudice against unicorns. It would be best if you keep all your belongings to yourself then risk encountering those jealous earth ponies.” she suggested.

“Well most definitely, I will! I knew those earth ponies couldn’t be trusted! Thank you for this, Ms. Cosette. We unicorns must stick together.” he said.

He then resumed his travel to the palace. Once she saw Fancy Pants and his friends rudely ignoring and dissing the few earth ponies they walked past, she evilly chuckled to herself. Things were going according to plan.

Tirek traveled to the fields that various earth ponies tended. He had to keep a low profile. Cozy Glow was with him. Once they hid behind the doors of a barn, they briefly discussed their plan.

“This is going to be so much fun! I can’t wait to cause so much damage!” Cozy squealed in excitement with an evil-looking expression.

“You already said that the last hundred times, Cozy. And keep quiet! You don’t want us to get caught.” Tirek told her.

“Sorry, I get too excited sometimes. Anyway, you know what to do. We’ll get both the earth ponies and the pegasi.” Cozy reminded.

“Of course...this will be pleasant.” he said, smiling. Tirek made sure that nopony was around before he made his way to the large crops of corn.

Once he was in the right position, he activated his horns and sent a blast to the corns, igniting them on fire. The blaze slowly spread toward every crop in its path, nothing stopping it. Tirek proudly beheld his work. Eventually, the entire field was engulfed in an inferno.

All the farmers noticed the fire being spread throughout the field. They quickly grabbed buckets of water to help extinguish the flames. It took about a few hours until the fire was quenched. But the unfortunate event was seen. All the ears of corn were burnt to ashes.

“How did this happen?! We’ve been working months in the fields and now all our corn is gone!!” complained one of the farmers.

“Something or somepony must have caused this. But who would do such a thing?” asked another.

Cozy flew over their heads. “I know exactly who did this! I’m very sure of it!” she said.

The farmers, puzzled, asked, “Who are you?” She flew down to their level to make eye-contact with them.

“I’m just somepony who overheard the nasty conversations of some of the pegasi. I’ve heard them say that they were planning to burn your crops because they thought it would be fun! Can you believe just how heartless and disrespectful some of those ponies are?” she lied. The farmers looked at one another with surprised looks on their faces.

“Seriously?! They think it’s funny to ruin some hard-working pony’s life by doing all this?!” one of them angrily shouted.

“I can’t believe it! Pegasi are just no-good trouble makers!” another yelled.

“Thank you, little filly, for telling us. We need to stay away from the pegasi and make sure they don’t come to us!” the other farmer said. They all nodded and went their way back to the barn to clean up the mess that was made. Cozy turned around and winked at Tirek who was hiding in the bushes.

“Nice work back there. This actually confirms my statement earlier that these ponies are indeed dumb. They don’t even realize what’s actually going on.” Tirek said before looking back at the barn. “I am really tempted to absorb their magic. Ohh, I love to taste their energy!” he said, licking his lips.

“Now, now, Tirek. You will have your fun when we conquer Equestria. Remember, first things first.” Cozy reminded.

With a disappointed and impatient look, Tirek said, “Ughh, fine. Earth pony magic is my favorite flavor. That’s all.”

Both of them quietly went away from the perimeters of the barn. Yet, none of them noticed the same creature viewing them from a large tree. It flew again after them to see what they will do next.

Cozy flew in the air for about half an hour with Tirek following behind. Soon, they spotted a pegasus near a tree reading a book. Tirek hid behind the bushes while Cozy walked up to the male pegasus. She tapped him on his shoulder to get his attention.

“Golly, good sir! I desperately need your help!” She had fake tears on her eyes and started to cry.

The pegasus immediately put his book down, “What’s wrong? What’s the matter?” he asked, concerned.

“There were several unicorns who were picking on me because I am a pegasus filly. They said that pegasi are weak and pathetic.” said Cozy, still crying.

“They did?! How could they?! No pony should ever go through that! I’m so sorry that happened to you. Is there anything I can do to help?” he asked, now full of anger and compassion.

“Oh, I just need at least the pegasi to be aware of what the unicorns are up to. They could hurt us or bully us!” Cozy replied with the look of worry.

“Don’t worry, little one. We pegasi must stay together. I need to alert all Cloudsdale about this. Stay close to your loved ones. The unicorns must not be near us!” With that, the pegasus flew away.

With a sinister smirk, she muttered, “You poor fool, if only you knew what is truly up. And who cares about family anyways?”

Tirek and Cozy then departed on their way. Thus, the treacherous trio have been working together for the corruption of the ponies of Equestria to betray each other and turn on each other. Very soon, the Magic of Friendship will vanish so the Legion of Doom would be able to defeat their enemies...or will they? The winged creature saw their work and quickly flew back to report to its master.

I hope you all enjoyed reading this. Stay tuned for the next chapter! :twilightsmile:

Revealing True Colors

A full day has past since the treacherous trio started to spread division, hatred, and distrust amongst the ponies. It felt good to be one step ahead of everypony, for they have been waiting to exact their revenge on their enemies.

It was nightfall with the full moon shining in the horizon. The Legion of Doom returned after completing the first step of their villainous work. They were smug about their accomplishment.

“That was just perfect! These ponies are clueless to what’s happening!” Tirek gloated. “They will soon feel helpless once we tear apart their home and their kingdom!”

“It is all part of the plan,” said Chrysalis. “Turning the ponies against each other will only serve as our advantage over them. By weakening their friendship with one another, the Magic of Friendship will be wiped out! Because with friendship, they’ll defeat us again!”

“Yep!” Cozy agreed. “They’ll be defenseless against us! But I am concerned though about Grogar finding out about our treachery. You know how powerful he is. If he finds out, he will—.”

“We will deal with him first!” Chrysalis interrupted. “Without his bell, he is powerless. We have the book with info on his bell. We can learn how to utilize it to overthrow him! It’ll be so satisfying!”

“Which is why we must master the bell before Grogar returns,” said Tirek. “I don’t trust him, and I never have! I’m not gonna allow that old windbag to tell me what to do. But I am willing to have all that magic in his bell.” he finished with an evil smirk.

“Yeah, who cares about his ‘master plan’ anyway? We’ll take Equestria our way! Hahahahaha!!” Cozy wickedly laughed.

“Indeed. We have all the time in the world to learn more of Grogar’s bell.” Chrysalis said.

As they finished conversing, they went back to Grogar’s lair. They looked around to see if Grogar was at home. When they didn’t see him in his chambers, they were relieved. They hoped that he didn’t return yet... or so they thought.

As they seated around their meeting table, they began to discuss their progress. Chrysalis levitated the book with her magic on the table to open its pages.

“I am certain there will be useful information about that bell. I can imagine what spells or secrets this book will reveal!” Chrysalis exclaimed.

As she opened the book, she discovered that the words on the pages were in a different language...a language neither she nor her comrades understood. As they kept reading the pages and trying to understand what was written, they started to become irritated and confused.

“I don’t understand any of this!” complained Tirek. “I thought this would be written in ponish, not in this language! I can barely read them out loud!”

“Maybe it’s because it was only for the ancient ponies or creatures like Grogar?” Cozy guessed.

“Ridiculous!” Chrysalis scoffed. “Not even they would be able to understand this language! Plus, I seriously doubt that old goat would intentionally place a spell on this book so nopony would understand it! Besides, I’m sure he would need this book to learn more of his bell.”

“Then we’ll just have to find another way to activate the bell like using your magic or Tirek’s magic! That could work!” Cozy suggested. Tirek and Chrysalis thought for a moment.

“Hmmm, you know...that could work. But first we’ll need to destroy this useless book so Grogar won’t use it.” Tirek said.

“Definitely!” both Cozy and Chrysalis eagerly agreed.

Tirek then took the book and blasted it with his magic. The pages fell to the ground in dust and ashes. The villains laughed in satisfaction.

“Excellent! That old fool will never be able to regain his magic back from his bell!” Chrysalis boasted.

“Absolutely. I’ll get the bell. It’s time for us to start practicing,” said Tirek. As he walked over to one of the book shelves where he previously hid the bell behind it before they left, he noticed something strange...the bell was gone.

Confused, he walked over to the other shelf and as he looked behind the shelf, it wasn’t there either. He went to his chambers to see if it was there. Again, no bell in sight. Then he started to worry.

“Cozy, Chrysalis... did you hide the bell somewhere?” he called out to them from his room.

“Nope, not me.” Cozy denied.

“Not me neither.” Chrysalis also denied.

“THEN WHERE IS IT?!?” he screamed in anger and frustration.

Chrysalis and Cozy looked at each other puzzled.

“Didn’t you hide it behind that shelf over there?” Cozy asked.

“I did! I checked everywhere! It’s gone!!” Tirek yelled.

Then the females started to panic. The trio made sure that the bell wouldn’t be seen by Grogar while they were gone. With the bell missing, they’ll have no means to take over Equestria or to betray Grogar.

“This is impossible!! You were supposed to hide it from plain sight, you overgrown muscle head!!” Chrysalis berated Tirek. “Grogar’s bell is the only means of destroying our enemies! How could you lose it?!?”

“Hey, I never mess up simple things like this! I KNOW that it was right behind that shelf! I put it there myself! So don’t you dare accuse me of being that incompetent, you log-loving, cheese-legged bug!” Tirek snapped back.

“CHEESE-LEGGED?! How dare you! Don’t you even dare mention about my log, you fool!” she said gritting her teeth in anger. “Why don’t you just cry to your gram-gram in your dreams and whine how that your brother Scorpan is better than you.” she finished with a smirk.

Tirek widened his eyes and bellowed in anger, “DO NOT TALK OF MY GRAM-GRAM! And leave my brother out of this!”

As they continued arguing with each other, Cozy flew in between them and pushed them from each other to break up their fight.

“That’s enough, you two! Stop fighting and focus! We have a bigger problem here.” she admonished them. “We need to figure out where Grogar’s bell is before he comes back.”

Tirek and Chrysalis reluctantly yielded and calmed themselves down from their fight.

“Good! Now we just need to figure out what exactly happened.” said Cozy.

“I HAPPENED!!” bellowed a familiar voice.

The three villains immediately recognized the voice and its owner. They shakily looked up to see Grogar menacingly walk out of the shadows from on top of the podium which was above the crystal ball. He stood before them with his Bewitching Bell finally attached to his collar. The trio, shocked and surprised, trembled at his presence.

“Does my unexpected return answer your question, little one?” he asked Cozy.

“Ye-y-y-y-ye-yes, it does...” she replied with fear soaking her voice.

Grogar then activated his horns and blasted his magical bonds to bind them to the wall like he did to them before. The villains struggled to free themselves.

“NOOO! It can’t be! How did you discover your bell and our plan to betray you?!” asked Tirek.

“Did you fools really think that I would be foolish enough to believe your words that you couldn’t retrieve my bell from Mt. Everhoof? Haven’t you remembered that I can see everything with my crystal ball and overhear everything you say wherever you go?” Grogar taunted them.

The trio looked astonished with faces that read, “Why haven’t I thought of that?”

Relishing their looks of defeat, he continued, “Playing along was the best way to deceive you. Of course, thank you for retrieving my bell. I wouldn’t have reached to this level of triumph without you.” he evilly smiled.

“This is not supposed to end like this!! I was so close to exact my revenge on Starlight Glimmer!! I was so—!!” Chrysalis’ mouth was abruptly shut by Grogar’s magic.

“SILENCE!!” he commanded. “Now then, you three, I thank you for your time here. You are no longer of any use to me. You have gotten what I needed. But Equestria will not be mine alone to take.”

“What do you mean?” Cozy asked curiously.

“Why, I’m glad you asked. Remember that book which you destroyed? That language I encrypted was a location code that you activated by destroying it. Now, my true friends will arrive, and Equestria will finally be ours for the taking!” he stated with wicked exultation.

“You have other friends? That book was actually a trap? You really planned all of this?!” Tirek exclaimed.

“Yes indeed.” Grogar replied.

“Please! Don’t destroy us!! We’ll do anything for you! ANYTHING!!” Cozy begged. At that moment, she wasn’t acting. She actually cried and begged for mercy.

“Oh don’t worry, this will only hurt... a lot.” Grogar answered sadistically.

He levitated in the air with his magic and activated his bell. The bell rang with an loud clang followed by an echo. It then sent three waves of glowing black and yellow magic that were sent straight at the trio. The waves then began to drain them of their magic while they screamed in pain. Tirek lost his second form, reverting him back to his skinny, weakened form; Cozy lost her ability to fly; and Chrysalis lost her magic (including shape-shifting abilities).

After the waves returned to the bell, the villains lied on the ground weakened and defeated. Grogar triumphantly stood before his former minions.

“Now you understand my true power. Speaking of conquest, I must thank you for doing all the hard work for me. Now the Magic of Friendship will never be able to defeat me.” Grogar mockingly commended.

“This...this isn’t over, Grogar.” Chrysalis groaned while trying to get up on her hooves. “We will have our revenge.”

“Revenge, Chrysalis? Hahaha!! I think not.” he chuckled. As if on cue, a loud explosion erupted from outside the cavern. Suddenly, the bird-like creature which spied on them earlier flew through one of the giant holes that appeared as nostrils of the lair. It landed on top of one of Grogar’s horns. Its yellow eyes glowed brightly, intimidating the villains.

Right behind them, a huge purple portal opened. The weakened trio beheld a tall figure walking toward them. The more it walked, the more it grew bigger and bigger once it got closer to view.

After the portal closed, the trio then looked at the figure and became astonished beyond imagination. They had never seen this creature before or a different species NOT from Equestria... until now.

The being was a titan; it had a glowing purple chest compartment with a strange scary-looking insignia in the center; it was dark blue all around with purple lights all over his chassis; it also had a red visor, mouth plate, and a strange weapon attached to his right shoulder to their left. Overall, it appeared to be a mechanical alien life form.

“I am honored to introduce to you my undercover friend of mine... Soundwave!” Grogar proudly introduced.

“THE PLEASURE IS MINE.” Soundwave spoke in his monotone, mechanical tone. “SOUNDWAVE SUPERIOR, EQUESTRIA INFERIOR.”

Author's Note

There you have it. In case you’re wondering, this is Soundwave from the Fall of Cybertron games. He and Grogar will show how much they’re connected. To be honest, while writing and proofreading this chapter, it really put a smile on my face! Hahaha!! :pinkiecrazy:
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Stay tuned!

Two of a Kind

Grogar and Soundwave stood side by side before the trembling villains. The bird-like creature flew above the trio and landed on top of Soundwave’s right arm. Soundwave would’ve been smiling if he had a face.

“What is that thing?!” Cozy cried.

“I AM A DECEPTICON. I FUNCTION WITH THE PURPOSE OF EXTERMINATING ALL THOSE WHO DARE STAND IN OUR WAY.” Soundwave declared. “THE DECEPTICONS WILL RULE OVER THIS PATHETIC PLANET AND SUCK IT DRY OF ITS ENERGY.”

“Yes! And I will once again be the Emperor of Equestria! Celesta, Luna, Cadence, and Twilight will bow to my indisputable glory! Not even Discord will stop me!!” Grogar proclaimed.

“BUT FIRST, WE MUST TERMINATE THE LOOSE ENDS BEFORE US.” Soundwave suggested.

Terrified of their upcoming predicament, the trio attempted to flee. Laserbeak, however, flew after them and caught Tirek and Cozy Glow with his talons. Chrysalis tried to escape, but her wings were weakened due to her magic gone. So she tried to jog her way out.

“RATBAT, EJECT. OPERATION: APPREHENSION.” Soundwave ordered. Ratbat ejected from his chest compartment and transformed from a cassette tape to a bat-like creature.

He flew after Chrysalis and caught her by her horn. He and Laserbeak carried the trio in the air until another Decepticon appeared.

“Well, well, well, what do we have here?” said the bulky con. “Commander Soundwave, what should we do with these three fleshbags?”

“TAKE THEM TO THE NEMESIS. WE WILL USE THEM... FOR TARGET PRACTICE.” Soundwave darkly ordered.

“With pleasure!!” Onslaught said enthusiastically. Laserbeak and Ratbat dropped the trio unto Onslaught’s open hands (servos). The trio looked upon Onslaught’s intimidating yellow visor.

“Don’t you worry, meatbags. You’ll go out with a blast.” he said to them. He closed his fits around them so they wouldn’t escape.

The doomed villains cried in terror as they were taken away to the Nemesis to meet their shameful demise.

Grogar gave one last look of triumph before meeting his gaze upon Soundwave. Laserbeak and Ratbat turned back to cassette tape forms and returned to Soundwave’s chest compartment.

“Now that our first order of business has been done, allow me to fulfill our end of the deal to solidify our alliance,” said Grogar. He went to the table where his crystal ball was held. He stood on top of the table as he activated his horns. He blasted the ground beneath it.

After the smoke was cleared, a large pile of dark glowing purple crystals were seen. Soundwave looked upon his prize. He then contacted two of his troops through comlink.

“SKYWARP, THUNDERCRACKER, RETRIEVE THE DARK ENERGON.” he commanded them.

Once he closed his comlink with them, sounds of aircraft were heard outside the lair. Suddenly, two Cybertronian jets were seen flying through the entrance of the lair and transforming in midair. They landed beside Grogar as they started to retrieve the dark energon and storing them into crates to be taken into their warship.

“WELL DONE, GROGAR. YOUR DEDICATION IS MUCH APPRECIATED.” Soundwave commended him.

“As they always say, ‘The enemy of my enemy is my friend’. But there is something that has been in my mind though. After all that you have done to help me restore my power, I think I should give you more.” Grogar said.

“OH? THERE IS MORE YOU ARE WILLING TO OFFER?” Soundwave asked.

”Indeed. Do you mind if I enter into your... ship with you?” Grogar requested.

Soundwave shook his head. Smiling, Grogar and Soundwave walked together as they exited the cavern and viewed the ship which was just above the lair in midair. Grogar used his telekinesis magic to levitate himself and his partner as they flew up to the entrance of the warship.

As they entered, all the Decepticons saw them and welcomed their commander. But they ceased their shouts of greetings as soon as they laid their optics and visors on the blue ram beside Soundwave.

“Uhhhh, Commander Soundwave, what is that creature with you?” Brawl asked.

“HE IS GROGAR, THE FIRST EMPEROR OF THIS LAND CALLED EQUESTRIA. HE IS MY COOPERATIVE IN OUR MISSIONS TO CONQUER THIS PLANET.” Soundwave answered.

After a full minute of silence, the Decepticons roared in laughter. They laughed for another minute before they spoke up,

“Grofar?? Hahaha, what kind of stupid name is that?” Swindle laughed.

“You allied yourself with a goat? That’s hilarious!!” Scrapper also laughed.

“Megatron wouldn’t be that desperate to make friends with a creature who looks like a fat reindeer! Hahaha!!!” Blast Off mocked.

As they continued laughing, Grogar stood there boiling in anger. Having had enough of their mockery, he activated his bell. The bell levitated in midair as it shot its wave of dark magic at Grogar. Grogar then increased in maximum size; his yellow eyes turned blood red with no pupils, and his teeth grew sharper along with fangs.

As he finished growing, a magical fire enveloped his body, and he mightily roared while breathing out red fire like a dragon. The Decepticons paid no attention to his dramatic transformation until he angrily roared. They looked upon him shocked and paled in fear.

“I AM GROGAR, THE FATHER OF MONSTERS, YOU FOOLS!!! I AM HERE SHOWING YOU ALL WHAT I AM TRULY CAPABLE OF!!! ANYONE OF YOU WHO DARES TO DEFY ME OR MY POWER WILL BE NEUTRALIZED!!! UNDERSTOOD?!?” Grogar bellowed in full wrath.

The ‘Cons stood motionless and terrified of his demonic presence. Soundwave crossed his arms while standing, clearly pleased that his partner put his troops in their place. He even reminded him of Megatron.

“Y-y-ye-yes! Yes... uh Grogar.” Vortex said.

“You got it, Grogar!” Barricade fearfully uttered.

The other Decepticons expressed similar sentiments. They did not want to feel his wrath in any way, shape, or form.

“By Primus, this guy reminds me of Megatron.” Hook whispered to Bonecrusher who nodded in agreement.

“He might be the one who can actually help us win the war against the Autobots!” Mixmaster whispered to them. They both nodded in agreement.

Satisfied with their answers of submission, Grogar changed back to his normal form. He went to one of the stages where all the Decepticons can see him.

“As your leader has told you, I am his current ally in the missions that we have accomplished so far while roaming in the wilderness. My plan has always been to seize control of Equestria and destroy all who can get in my way.” he began his speech to them.

“I was the first ruler of Equestria; my reign was a fear-soaked epoch of darkness in Equestria...until that fool Gusty the Great rose up against me and took my bell which you see in front of you all!

“I’ve spent a whole millennia regaining my power, binding my time until now where I can once again exact my revenge on these ponies and rule my long-lost kingdom. I am fairly certain you too desire to conquer this world.” he appealed to them.

The ‘Cons beheld each other’s faces as they murmured and thought on what he said. Grogar continued, knowing he was getting to them.

“You see, we are not so different from each other. I want to conquer this world as you do too; I desire to wipe out my adversaries; likewise, you desire so as well. Soundwave and I have known each other long enough for us to understand that we are two of a kind.

“If we are to destroy all those who stand in our way, we must join forces and work together to bring Equestria to its knees!!” Grogar loudly proposed.

The Decepticons looked at each other once again before shouting in agreement. They clenched fits as they shouted their desire for destruction and total conquest.

“You know what? This creature isn't really that bad! I’m starting to like him!” Skywarp said.

“Grogar for the win, baby!!” shouted Brawl.

“If Shockwave were here, I’m sure he would find Grogar as...’logical’,” said Acid Storm.

“Yeah! Even Megatron would be pleased!” Thundercracker concurred. “But thank Primus that Starscream isn’t here; he would be complaining like there’s no tomorrow. Geez, screw that cowardly motor-head.”

After the Decepticons finished applauding Grogar, Soundwave stepped forward to give his command,

“GROGAR IS NOW ONE OF US. I APPOINT HIM AS MY ADVISOR AND YOUR SECOND LEADER. FROM THIS TIME FORTH, YOU SHALL ADDRESS HIM AS ‘LORD GROGAR’.” Soundwave commanded.

“ALL IN FAVOR, SAY ‘I’.” he directed.

“I!!!” all of them voted.

“THOSE WHO OPPOSE?” he asked them.

Silence was the given answer.

“IT IS NOW OFFICIAL. WELCOME AND HAIL YOUR NEW MASTER!!” he ordered.

“All hail Grogar!! All hail Grogar!! All hail Grogar!!! HAIL!!!” the Decepticons worshipfully shouted. They then kneeled in front of Grogar and Soundwave.

“Excellent! Your worship and adoration are highly acceptable.” Grogar acknowledged. “Now that our second order of business is completed, allow me, your second ruler, to begin the third one!”

He then looked upon one of his new subjects, “You there! Come forth!” he called him.

He stepped forward before his new master. He was nervous that Grogar called him out of all the ‘Cons in the room. So he stood before him nervously, anxious of what was going to happen to him.

“Uhh, ye-yes, Lord Grogar?” he nervously asked.

“What is your name?” Grogar inquired.

“My name is Breakdown.” he answered.

“What do you do best as a warrior? he asked him.

“Umm, I like to... shoot things?” Breakdown said.

“I can detect fear in your voice. What is troubling you, Breakdown?” Grogar asked.

“It’s just that I am too scared whenever I fight battles against the Autobots. I don’t want to die!!” he cried.

“Fear not, for I shall give you a power that can give you a new strength and provide you the means for you to rise above your weakness.” Grogar promised.

He rang his bell and sent a wave of dark magic directly at Breakdown’s chest. Breakdown jumped in fear but then suddenly stopped moving. He started to grow to a bigger height that is equal to that of Megatron. A machine gun and an energon sword appeared in his grasps. His color scheme remained the same but with orange lights on his arms and legs.

“Whoa!! I look awesome!!” he spoke with a deeper tone. “What?! That’s my voice?! I love it! I can even take on Optimus Prime himself!” he shouted.

His comrades were amazed at the sight. Realizing what Grogar wanted to offer them, they ran in front of him. Grogar rolled his eyes as he heard them out.

“Master Grogar, give me the ability to shape-shift into any inanimate object to blend into my surroundings!” Long Haul eagerly asked.

“Can I have super-speed if it’s possible?” Thundercracker also asked.

“What about us? We like to have magical powers too!!” Onslaught shouted. The other Combaticons agreed.

“ENOUGH!!!” Grogar silenced them. The Cons ceased their petitions and bowed in fear.

“I will provide a fraction of my magic to only a few of you whom I deem worthy. Is that understood?” he dictated.

“As you command, Lord Grogar.” Sunstorm spoke from among them.

“Now, you five, come here.” he pointed to the Combaticons. They stood before him as Grogar then addressed their desires.

“What are your names?” he asked them.

“My name is Onslaught, the leader of my Combaticon squad. These four are Brawl, Swindle, Vortex, and Blast Off.”

“I assume by your category name that you relish the destruction of your enemies through combative strategy, correct?” he asked them.

“Yep! I sure love blowing things up!” Brawl boasted.

“And I like too—!” Blast Off started but was cut off by Grogar.

“No need to tell me further! I will give you all the ability only you can achieve as a combiner. Soundwave told me all about combiners. You, five, are combiners, yes?” They nodded their heads as confirmation.

“Then combine together, and the power shall be yours.” he said to them.

“Very well, master. Combaticons, combine into Bruticus!!” Onslaught ordered his squad. They all transformed into different body parts: Onslaught as the body and torso, Vortex and Blast Off as the right and left arms, and Brawl and Swindle as the right and left legs. Thus, Bruticus stood before Grogar and Soundwave.

Grogar ran his bell again and sent another wave of magic towards him. After Bruticus absorbed the dark magic, he then felt a hunger for energon but in a different way. Grogar smirked wickedly as he addressed him.

“You now have the power to absorb the life force of any life form you encounter. I know you will enjoy it.” Grogar said.

“Oh, so I can absorb energon like a Terrorcon? I can manage that!!” Bruticus said, pleased.

Grogar then turned to his close ally, “You too shall share a portion of my power, Soundwave.” He rang his bell the third time and Soundwave absorbed the magic through his chest. He sprouted wings on his back like a Seeker has but only larger, a larger cannon on his right shoulder, and a huge axe made of dark energon landed on his grasp.

“THIS...THIS IS POWERFUL BEYOND WORDS. THE AUTOBOTS WILL NO LONGER STAND A CHANCE AGAINST US.” Soundwave stated. “SOUNDWAVE SUPERIOR, AUTOBOTS INFERIOR.”

“Indeed. That is all for tonight! You are all dismissed!” Grogar said.

The Decepticons departed from the meeting room leaving the two leaders alone. They went to a large window as they beheld Canterlot and Ponyville up in a distance.

“Equestria is now ours for the taking, my friend. We will invade one city at a time, destroying all the ponies and taking what is rightfully ours!! We will be the RULERS of ALL!!” Grogar triumphantly shouted.

Both of them evilly laughed as they were finally about to execute their master plan. Who will be able to stand before them as they will unfold their ultimate wrath on Equestria? Who shall defeat them in the end? We shall soon find out.
