Tirek and Cozy were in Tartarus, Tirek looking away from the filly at the moment. "Hey! Hey tirek! I made friendship figures! look!" Cozy said, her tail wagging.

Tirek just groaned and rolled his eyes as he turned to look. Cozy pointed down at the figures, a proud gleam in her eyes. He just continued to groan before they were suddenly whisked away in magic. Tirek's Figure fell over after they were gone.


Chrysalis was walking around, ranting angrily to a purple log. "One day, you'll see! I will defeat Twilight Sparkle and her friends! And they will pay for stealing my kingdom!" she cackled.

The log did exactly what a log would do in that situation. Sit there. Chrysalis looked like she was about to go even more insane but was whisked away by dark magic, the same way Cozy and Tirek did.

Cozy and Tirek appeared in a dark dank cave, Chrysalis following suit.

"Golly. What just happened? Tirek, do you know?"

Tirek sighed and facepalmed. "It's lord Tirek, and we were just teleported!" Tirek growled.

"I got that, Tirek, I'm not stupid. WHY were we teleported!?" Cozy deadpanned.

Chrysalis took noticed of them she gasped in shock when she spotted the centaur. "Lord Tirek!?"

"A changeling?" Tirek asked, before gesturing to her. "See, she gets it."

Cozy just giggled and buzzed in place. "Golly! She sure is a changeling! an old one at that! Did you summon us here, Chrysalis~?" She asked, flying around the room.

Cozy felt great being able to stretch and fly around after being cramped up in that little cell for a month. Chrysalis watched her fly with an annoyed growl.

"Enough! Why did you summon me!?" She demanded from both of them.

"Golly, do you have ears? I just asked if you summoned us! Why would I ask that if we were the ones who summoned you?" Cozy pointed out with a giggle.

Chrysalis glared at her with fury. She opened her mouth to say something but just then, another creature walked in from the shadows. It was none other than King Sombra.

"So it was this guy that summoned us?" Cozy said with a head tilt. "Tirek who is he?" She asked her centaur buddy.

"He is not the one who summoned you!" A fourth voice said from deep within the cave.

The sounds of hoofsteps were heard as the new creature began coming closer until he was in full view. He was tall and blue and looked like a goat. "I am!" He shouted. "You may call me....Grogar." He said as he surveyed each and every one of them with his eyes.

"The Grogar!?" Chrysalis shouted in shock, awe, and a little terror.

"I thought that you were a legend!" Tirek exclaimed.

"I've heard of you." Sombra said in his stupid voice.

"....Who?" Cozy asked with a head tilt.

"I assure you, I am very real. And you have all been brought here as part of my plan to rid Equestria of Twilight Sparkle and her friends once and for all" Grogar said with a laugh.

"I am so sorry, but the name "grofar" isn't ringing any bells." Cozy said with a shrug.

"Grogar!" the goat shouted. "I have been away too long if my name no longer strikes fear into the heart of one so tiny. Perhaps a demonstration of power is in order?" He growled.

Tirek was transformed back to his standard body. He grinned and kissed his new muscles.

"Grogar is ancient and extremely powerful. The land that would become Equestria was a mere collection of farms and pastures until he declared himself emperor of all he saw. I remember hearing tales of his tyranny when I was young." He told Cozy.

"I have also heard of the first Emperor of Equestria. The "Father of Monsters" You've been called." Sombra said.

"I gave life to the foulest of creatures and allowed them to run wild, taking what they wanted and destroying the rest. My reign was a glorious, fear-soaked epoch of darkness in Equestria." Grogar bragged.

"Ha! Until Gusty the great rose up and banished you!" Chrysalis pointed out.

"That fool believed taking my bell would defeat me! But she only weakened me temporarily." Grogar said.

"Um, Tirek is like, really old – no offense, you look great – but if he knew about you when he was young, we have super different ideas about what "temporarily" means." Cozy said with a shrug.

As Cozy said that, Tirek just stared at her offended.

"Silence!" Grogar yelled in her face. "I've spent millennia gathering power, biding my time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to seize control of Equestria! And watching all of you. I've seen each of your humiliating defeats at the hooves of six puny ponies. And do you know why they've always bested you?" Grogar questioned them.

"Because they cheat!" Chrysalis shouted.

"Because they're annoyingly lucky." Tirek growled.

"I'm just a kid, so..." Cozy said quietly with a shrug.

"It is because they work together. Where one is weak, another is strong, and thus unified, they are a formidable force! But we shall use their own strategy to defeat them." Grogar shouted at them all.

"What are you suggesting." Chrysalis hissed.

"I suggest nothing. I demand that you join me, and together, Equestria will be ours!" Grogar growled.

"Can I have Fillydelphea?" Cozy asks, buzzing around him like a fly.

"...what?" Grogar asked coldly.

"I wanna have Fillydelphea when we take over! I've always wanted to live in that big tower, up above everypony!" Cozy said, clapping her hooves happily.

"When we take over, nopony is going to be above anypony! It'll be ruled by us as a group!" Grogar shouted at cozy.

Cozy gave him a blank stare. "I meant physically, idiot, not in terms of power!" She giggled.

"Are you taking this seriously?" Grogar growled.

"Uh, of course I am?" Cozy said with a head tilt.

"Clearly not," Grogar said, rolling his eyes. "You're being way too energetic about this."

"I'm just a kid. So..." Cozy said again with a shrug. This time, unlike before, Grogar heard her.

"Wait...you're not just a tiny adult?" Grogar asked.

"Uh....no...?...Aren't you supposed to know that? You're this big baddie aren't you?" Cozy said with a confused expression.

"I'm powerful, not omniscient." Grogar growled. "Get out."

"Huh!? Why!?" Cozy yelled with one of her iconic angry faces.

"Because a child isn't worthy of ruling Equestria!" Grogar yelled right back at her.

"Just because I'm a kid doesn't mean I'm not capable! Tirek and I had the whole work together plan before you! We came closer than anyone else to winning! Tell him, Tirek!" Cozy said, holding Tirek's arm.

Tirek just growled and shook the filly off of his arm. Cozy looked up at him with confusion. "...T-Tirek?"

Tirek glared at Cozy heatedly. "Working with you, was by far the most tasking and horrible thing I have ever done. You are the most annoying piece of shit I ever had the displeasure of meeting. There are very few things I hate more than I hate you."

Cozy stared at him with tears stinging her eyes. "....I....I thought you said you understood me.....you said you'd be my friend!!!" Cozy screamed.

Tirek stared at her for a few seconds before bursting out into laughter. "Heheh....heh...you...you seriously didn't put it together that I was using you!? Hah! That's rich! I would have gotten out and taken all the magic for myself if you hadn't failed!"

Cozy's ears fell at those words and she could no longer hold back her tears. "T-Tirek?....why...." She cried.

"Because you we're gullible. You felt like no one understood you, and I was that shining light that you needed. It went so well up until you fucked it up!" Tirek growled, seemingly forgetting that he was the one who helped Twilight and her friends escape Tartarus.

Cozy just began to sob more and more. "f-Fine! I'll leave! And I hope Twilight kills all of you!!" Cozy said before flying away, crying her eyes out.

The last thing Cozy heard before she was too far away was Sombra exclaiming he was going to attack the Crystal Empire by himself.


Cozy had been flying for hours, she had never moved this fast and she had never flown for this long. She had no idea where she was going, she just, flew. Meanwhile, Twilight and her friends were attending a random party that Pinkie threw. It was Gummy's thirty third day after his birthday day. And of course Pinkie just had to throw a party.

"Pinkie, you always throw the most random parties." Dash said as she flew around, definitely not stealing everypony's food.

"Heh, I know," Pinkie giggled, bouncing about and giving them more food.

Twilight and Starlight were under the table making out. They had bean bags around them so they wouldn't be found out. Starlight pulled away from the kiss. "That was so good." she whispered.

Twilight held her close and kissed her again. "I'm glad I met you." She purred seductively.

"So am I," Starlight responded, nuzzling her.

They made out some more while everyone else continued to party. "Okay everyone! Pin the tail on the villain!!" Pinkie shouted, putting a blindfold on the creature closest to her, which happened to be StonedBar, I mean, Sandbar!

Sandbar stumbled forward before pinning the tail on the picture on the wall. The tail was on Sombra's left hoof. Sandbar just shrugged as he walked back to the others. The party went on for hours, and they decided to keep it going when it began to storm. At some point during the party, someone knocked on the castle's front door.

"I'll get it!" Ocellus said happily, trotting over to the door.

She opened the door and found something that shocked her to her core. Before her stood Cozy Glow. He wings were bleeding heavily and she looked like she had been up for days. The rain had soaked her mane and matted her fur along with the dirt, blood, and grime. "Golly. You look surprised to see little old me." She said with a dark grin.

"Did everypony miss me? Admit it. You missed me." Cozy said, grinning wider.

Before Ocellus could respond, the peach filly fell over, knocked out cold.
