Somewhere in the unknown depths of Equestria, evil schemes were being planned. Several hours earlier, the infamous father of monsters known as Grogar had gotten together some of the most vile and diabolical minds from across Equestria to his lair in the outskirts of the Badlands. Two inmates from the pits of Tartarus, a queen who swore for revenge against those who ‘betrayed’ her and a mad king that was recently reborn. All of them were together and part of his League of Villainy and in his mind, Grogar thought that nothing could stop them.
Now though, not so much. For the last few minutes, he and his fellow villains were watching King Sombra carry out his plan from the safety of Grogar’s lair as they gathered around the orb that was on the stone table… as well as watch everything that Sombra planned all fall apart at the seams. One unexpected mistake led to the king going on a wild goose chase that ultimately led to his demise.
While some of the villains would see this as an unexpected setback, one member in particular wanted none of it.
“I’m out.”
Those two words from the youngest villain in the room, the filly named Cozy Glow, shocked every creature in the room. Including Lord Tirek, the centaur that had been her cellmate in Tartarus for the last couple of months. “C-Cozy!? What are you-!? What do you mean ‘you’re out’!?”
“Oh golly, I don’t know,” the pegasus filly scratched her chin with her hoof before looking back at the centaur, “Maybe because we all witnessed Sombra, who Grogar just brought back only a few hours ago, get wiped out by a talking magical cat who thought they were playing!!! I rather get reformed or go back to Tartarus than have that happen to me!”
With that, the pegasus stormed out of the room and went directly towards her room and slamming the door, leaving the centaur, the changeling queen and the goat all standing there as they tried to process everything that occurred right now. All before Tirek began to walk away from the table, “I’m… going to go check on her and see if I can get her to calm down. Want to come, Chrysalis?”
All she did was glare at the centaur, before green magic began to flash around her as the queen disappeared. “I guess that’s a no then,” the centaur sighed, before turning to Grogar, “If there’s anything you need just… well, we’ll be in our room.”
As Tirek left, Grogar himself was the only one left standing as he looked back at his orb and then let out a sigh and closed his eyes. “Well, that was a total bust. With Sombra gone, I guess I’ll just continue preparing our motley crew here for Plan B. What’s another few months, anyways? I’m not going anywhere.”
Of course, when he thought that, he heard something fizzle above him, along with the sound of… pages turning as he looked opened his eyes and began to look around, “Wait… what’s that noise-?”
The moment that the goat looked up, Grogar found himself staring at a floating book… as well as the cat that he had just witnessed defeat Sombra only mere moments ago. “Hi there, mister! What’s your name?”
Grogar’s eyes widened as he stared at the cat in horror, saying only two words came off the top of his head. “Oh no!!”
