Chapter 30: Explanations and Drawings

Ok... so I'm back to narrating? Ok then...

Anyway, just to get this out of the way, when Grogar used his magic to freeze us humans in place, it didn't make us unconsious. I knew because I could still see and hear everything. I just couldn't move and speak. So I pretty much watched helplessly as Grogar put the three former villains (back) in stone before carrying us humans into a portal that led to Equestria.

And I would have probably been excited. But since all hope in Equestria was lost and we were being kidnapped, my heart sank a little instead.

So when I felt Grogar move my body and set it into a chair in front of a table, I knew what was coming. I tried to move, but it pretty much felt like sleep paralysis to me.

But finally, when Grogar sat in the chair across from me and scooted closer to the table, the yellow aura faded from my eyes.

I tried to get up, but when I looked down, I noticed that most of my body was still covered in a yellow aura.

"Obviously, I could just threaten to disintegrate you if you tried anything, but this is much better..." Grogar smirked.

I looked back up at him. Some of me wanted to point out that he could just disintegrate me, but that means death. Though then again, this ram is unpredictable.

I really didn't know what to say.

"No questions?" Grogar snarked.

"Ok fine," I said, deciding to wing it. "What is the point of you interrogating me?"

"Many reasons," Grogar replied. "For one, the whole time I watched you, you seemed like the leader."

"I am no leader."

"Well I have many reasons for assuming you were the leader. And besides, I figured I could explain to you a little about how I managed to pull the strings. Then I have something that I want to ask you about."

"Why would you explain your plan to me?"

"Well somecreature has to find out how I managed to work behind the curtains at some point," said Grogar. "Now... do you remember Luster Dawn?"

I lifted my brow. "Yes, of course I do."

"Have you wondered how she was able to cross her magic over to here from Equestria?"

"I mean, we both mentioned how it was odd but-"

"Let me explain," Grogar cut me off. "You see, she did escape. Along with two more pathetic fools! But she didn't last long. So I caught her! I trapped her in a library with a magic spell to prevent intruders from getting in or her from getting out. Then I cast a spell on her mind to make her believe she was alone and researching ways to help you. I also made sure she knew how to cast some of the spells that she used, such as the spells to communicate with you or the spells to transfer items. And she did. The communication spells I had to give her more knowledge of, but she did. But whenever she cast those spells, it wasn't her! It was me! I was there on the roof of the community center when you met the voice actors. And I was there when all six of you humans were at the truck. Both times I was invisible."

I continued to listen to Grogar's description of how his plan played out.

"When 'Luster' communicated with the voice actors, I projected her message to the older female," Grogar explained. "Sombra projected Luster to the male. And the Storm King projected Luster to the younger female. Sombra and the Storm King was also invisible when they did their tasks. We then teleported them to meet you on the community center roof. We also teleported the items that helped you rescue the three former villains from that FBI center. Though for a brief moment I mind-controlled one of the agents and forced her to order the demise of Cozy Glow."

"But why would you foil your own spell?" I inquired. "If you mind controlled the agent to destroy Cozy Glow, WHY would you let us save her?"

"I love to see fear," Grogar said. "We also knew about some of the locations on Earth due to this process... I turned into my mist form, searched for a human all on their lonesome, and mind-controlled them to give me the name of their leader and where he was. Then, I hunted him down, which was a quick process, and waited for him to be alone. When he was, I put him under mind-control also. I told him to give me an example of a police department, and he told me about... I think the police department of a place called 'Chicago'. And when I told him to give me an example of a place where things are held captive and studied, he told me about this... FBI facility. I wasn't sure if the spell was flawed, because the leader could have told me about a hospital or lab, but for the most part, it worked. Even better, I got it all done in 45 minutes."

"You know Grogar..." I began to say. "It amazes me that despite your age, you somehow knew of places were creatures are studied, or knew about the police."

"You modern creatures are ignorant," Grogar snarked. "Equestria had law enforcement a long time ago, just not as strong as today. And when I studied modern Equestria, I learned of the police. And how I learned about places where foreign things I studied... well... I overheard a group of ponies talking about 'aliens'. So when I decided to listen in to figure out what aliens are since they were never discussed in my time, it turns out that aliens can be studied. So later I figured that if Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow weren't from Earth, they were aliens. So that's how I learned of the FBI center. Sure it wasn't a hospital or lab like what I overheard in the alien conversation, but it still worked out. I found a place where the former villains were imprisioned and nearly destroyed, and all the pieces fell in place."

"Sheesh," I muttered. "Of course you haven't heard about aliens. You're probably older than Celestia!"

"Perhaps..." Grogar said. "I think it's time to brush conversation aside and have you explain this to me..."

Grogar lit his horns and a crumpled piece of paper appeared out of thin air. He uncrumpled it and set it in front of me.

"Where did you get that?" I huffed, my eyes going wide.

"What is in this drawing?" Grogar asked, ignoring my own question.

"That's just how I draw myself," I replied. Indeed, usually, the way I drew myself was simple. A round head, round ears, round eyes and a black dot for a nose. The body was also simple. But one of the biggest things that stood out was the e three-spikes for hair.

Grogar flipped the drawing over.

"Ok. Then what's this?" he questioned.

In the drawing was the same thing from the last one. But the character was in a different position.

And his eyes were different.

Instead of the white color with black pupils, the eyes had red pupils. Two red blotches spread from the pupils vertically, while two black blotches potruded from the pupils horizontally.

"That-" I began to say.

"What is in the photo?" he said again.

"That's me when possessed by a demon, ok?" I quickly answered.

Grogar smirked.

"Demon, huh?" He scratched his chin. His chair then scootched back and he hopped off the chair.

"I think that's enough for now," he grinned. He lit up his horns and the drawing floated toward him.

"What are you gonna do with that?" I asked suspiciously. I knew Grogar was the Father of Monsters. So him getting an idea from a drawing meaning evil was bad news.

Grogar didn't respond. Instead, he turned and walked out the door.

"WAIT, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" I yelled.

"Oh don't worry, I'll be back. And when you see me again, it will be the last time you see anything," Grogar promised.

"NO!" I screamed.

"Enjoy your last few minutes," Grogar hissed.

"PLEASE NO!" I shrieked.

And then Grogar slammed the door, leaving me all alone.

Author's Note

I apologize for the fact that this chapter was very complex. But remember, it's hard to tie everything together.

Oh, I can't post an image of what the eyes look like on the drawing. Sorry. You will just have to be creative until I post something.

So we now know how the strings were pulled. But is this really my end?

Find out next chapter. Coming soon!
