Chapter 13: Penultimate Bell

Previous Chapter

The cave was lit up by the shine of the Crystal Heart as it was removed from the basket, overcasting the scene. This revealed more of the scene then Sombra originally thought was here when he retold it to them. Blueblood watched in amazement upon seeing the truth beyond the casual clues like train tracks, cheese, balloons and party favors. Yes, just outside of those truths were far more sinister details.

Ancient incantated lines the walls, repeating symbols of Lord Grogar. Blood stains and small skulls, possibly belonging to fillies and colts, lay around the edges. At the center, there was a sacrificial alter and a dark altar of obsidian. A mess of instruments were setup in the center as the Grogar's servants revealed themselves. Ahuizotl, Birch Bucket, Parcel Post, and the most shocking reveal to Babs Seed tied being him, was the final ally, Lil Cheese.

The four gathered around the altar and admired the Crystal Heart floating over top of them into the center. Grogar held his breath, leaning up to the symbol of great power with true admiration. With this his victory was assured and these constant songs would finally end. That long dead unicorn had pure him through absolutely horror, and yet now, all he could do was laugh and give into one more song. Birch Bucket took up the electric guitar, Parcel Post stepped behind the electric piano, and Ahuizotl monitor the drums, as their master moved in front of the microphone for his final song.

At the dawn of time, there was only the fight

Chaos and order, darkness and light

Unicorns were the first to defy my crave

I determined their fate, ended the rave

[Pre-Chorus]

Into the Crystal Heart and the Bell’s Core

I infused all my strife, what was never be born

From the forge of damnation, all monsters came

To carry out my will, to honor my name

His follower's words echoed as the chorus of praise in his name. Lyrics they memorized for this very day. The final song of his fame.

[Chorus]

He is the architect of kill and dire

Burner of worlds, creator of empire

Crafting a future where cease can thrive

Through His grace, sanction, cope stays alive

Grogar smiled at their kind words and glistened in their praise. Their words meant everything to his mind and soul. The echoes of his ego filled him with so much pride and power to continue his proclamation.

[Verse 2]

As time followed onward, the battles rage

My damnation marches across every age

Their courage stood against my Bell

Together, friendship was made to fail

[Pre-Chorus]

My children are scary, at their claw, behold your end

Yet on bloody battlefields, together they became friends

In their sparks, my power faded under her brand and her name

Gusty the Great, the bane of my hate, curse me to sing in pain

[Chorus]

He was the architect of kill and dire

Burner of worlds, creator of empire

Crafting a future where cease could thrive

Through His grace, sanction, cope stayed alive

Grogar's horns glowed with the same brightness of Crystal Heart. Their powers were beginning to harmonize into one power. Lil Cheese watched on in a mix of horror and awe. Realized the bridge of the song was here, she turned to the chest they found with the giant diamond safe. Opening it revealed with Blueblood suspected all along. The true purpose of these plans was shined over them in a void of colorless magic. Grogar's bell had been unveiled. The masterful goat raised it out of the filly's hooves and between him and Crystal Heart.

[Bridge]

I walk the path of most evil, bargain my way to the top of the hill

In the darkest night, my power envelopes all while the rest is killed

Together we seek the demise, open your eyes, and claim the prize

There isn’t hope in friendship, no more, for all will know its demise

[Chorus]

He is the architect of kill and dire

Burner of worlds, creator of empire

Crafting a future where cease can thrive

Through His grace, sanction, cope stays alive

The lines over the caves shined with the shape power output that beamed out from the Crystal Heart and Grogar's Bell. The three forces collided into Grogar as the bell began to sing, causing a powerful echo that caused the whole mountain to shake. Lil Cheese watched the destruction before her and knew she had to act. However, everything that happened, all of it was her fault, stopping now would be pointless in this incredible, dark power.

[Preultimate]

Out of crystal heart and the bell's core

I infused all my strife, what was never be born

From the forge of damnation, all monsters came

To carry out my will, to honor my name

Ahuizotl's hands slammed hard against the drum set. All the instruments reached a peak of sound perfection, as if powered by the bell itself. Their notes were heard from the top of the mountains to the depths of the Tartarus. The ground was shaking as the cave was cracking at the immense strength. Lil Cheese back away in horror, crouching under the shade of the two hostages. She feared this was all a total mistake. The final chorus echoed out as the power centralized upon the masterful goat.

[Final Chorus]

He is the architect of kill and dire

Burner of worlds, creator of empire

Crafting a future where cease can thrive

Through His grace, sanction, cope stays alive

He is the architect of kill and dire. Destroying Equestria and consume.

Burner of worlds, creator of empire. Bow under his boot, let war resume.

Crafting a future where cease in the divine. Behold the silence in his eyes.

Through His grace, sanction, cope can thrive. Intrusted with everything for its…

“MINE!!” Grogar screamed without a single musical note at all. The spell was a success, he was finally free from the curse. His body was restored with a youthful glow and his true songless voice had returned. The goat took a deep breath and savored the sensation. He had won, and his victory over that cruel unicorn, Gusty the Great's will was no more, Grogar, Goat Master of Dark stood before them all in triumph.


Author's Note

If you guys didn't catch it, yet this song is inspired by Primus, from the epic Transform fans and songwriter, The Automatic Singer. Check out their channel, they have some killer heavy metal beats.

I've wanted to give Grogar a proper villain song, not just a reference to the Hoodwinked Parody. Why didn't I use the Unicorn song... yeah it doesn't slap as hard as Primus, plus it fits more in style with the book for Grogar to be so blatantly evil, thus I made the lyrics so insanely edgy and evil to embody that idea of, "Yeah, this the evilest villain in the MLP universe."

As for the rest of the plan for today, yeah, Lil Cheese introduction chapter got moved to next time. Sorry, at least I have something to post today.
