//------------------------------// // Chapter 1 // Story: Lord of the Balrogs // by Berserker //------------------------------// Prologue A month has passed since Tirek's defeat for Twilight and the Elements of Harmony, but one call changes everything. An invitation made by Lord of the Underworld, king over Tartarus (and last of the Balrogs). Will he be a friend or an enemy of Equestria? (Displaced without the multiverse stuff, the character does not faithfully represent the LOTR lore, only the MLP chronology will be maintained) Chapter 1 Tirek contemplated his victory; never in his life could he imagine having so much power in his hands. A month ago, he was a weak prisoner fleeing from Tartarus, with little hope and an evil plan in mind, but everything changed when Discord appeared and he got the lord of chaos to cooperate with him. After that it was easy to steal the magic of every citizen and soldier of Equestria and then go behind the princesses, but all ruined when he discovered that they gave all their might to a small mare named Twilight Sparkle who recently became a princess. With a readjustment of plans, he went to meet the new princess, who ceded the powers after imprisoning her friends. After that, he deceived the lord of chaos and took his power, the face he did was total repentance. Now with all the power of Equestria, he watches the long sea of land with his immense body, which reaches to 100 meters of height, respecting its accumulated power. "Now, nothing can stop me, first I will destroy all this land, then return to the underworld, kill that traitor of the Scorpan, and finally shatter and defeat Him, and take my place as king !!!" Tirek, having many powers in his hands, made his first mistake in declaring war on the king. He himself was still worried about power, but that did not matter, for he had taken all the magic of Equestria. Suddenly he hears a noise followed by a flash behind him from the Everfree forest, when he turns faces the main 6 with a new look and powers, their cutie marks are all over their bodies and the colors of them are brighter , glittering in the eyes of the tyrant centaur, but that did not matter. - "Tirek, for your crimes against Equestria you will be punished going back to Tartarus" the new princess spoke with a voice that rivals the Canterlot`s voice. "As if I cared about you, little mares." The centaur spoke with an air of contempt and superiority, for he thought he would easily put those small ponies on the ground in craters for each of them. And so began a fierce battle that shuffled the ground like a weed, the wind was shaped in a way that mini hurricanes were created with each blow between Tirek and Main 6. Shots and fire shots were thrown at each of the mares, which deviated from each one. Tirek thought "where did you get such power in such a short time?" Then a light came to mind and cleared his thoughts. "Of course it was Discord, I had my doubts about my brother's amulet and his affinity with the Tree of Harmony, now I see clearly, that's why they have so much power now "out of their mind, he stared furiously at the mares, but then an idea popped into his mind. "Why you do not work with me, together we will be unbeatable, we will take everything for ourselves and we can put an end to His reign?" He spoke quietly to persuade them. But Main 6 already had one goal in common. "We're only here to defeat you." They spoke in unity. After the answer Tirek was furious and released more blows on the ponies ahead of him not caring about the environment, but suddenly he comes across a barrier forming around him. Questioning the nature of the barrier, he sees the six mares flying above him with a power unknown to him and they speak. "Now Tirek, the barrier you are now voiding your powers over magic as we send you back to Tartarus." Soon after realizing what was really happening, Tirek is furious and collides with the barrier in the hope of destroying it, but cannot. Without him realizing a spell of rainbow color strikes him, which caused him to lose all the accumulated power (and also size), leaving him again as an empty shell, the being that had previously been reputed to be one of the most evil and powerful demons turned a weak and useless centaur. - "Now that all your powers have been removed you will return to Tartarus" the six mares spoke victorious. - "I had all the power in my hands, the power of all the ponies, the princesses, AND I LOST EVERYTHING !!! You do not understand what you did. Now never be able to face the "Balro -... When the fallen tyrant was going to finish his sentence, the portal Tartarus emerges behind him and takes him to the deepest parts of the Underworld. This made everyone afraid, by the centaur's cry, and doubts what he had said, especially a certain princess "what he meant by 'you do not understand what you've done.'" Location: Deeper parts of the Underworld In the long and arid lands of the Underworld, a tower rises around an active volcano that constantly expels lava, rocks and ashes, the volcano is channeled the tower through a channel forming a certain link with the tower. The construction itself is shivering higher than the highest mountain of Equis, at about 4800 meters high, it outstrips the ash clouds expelled by the volcano, which is about 2,500 meters high. It is not good to show the top of the tower, for there you will find what would be an eye or a form of an eye that is constantly observing the lands. The width of the tower rivals the entire city of Manehirnet being only a black structure like the emptiness of space, indicating only lack of hope and light, and this complemented with the terrain that was arid and in flames due to the activity of the volcano, indicating that nothing could live and be born in that horrid placeplace. But what terrified him most was the owner of that tower. The demon king over all the underworld, the lord of Tartarus, to whom all the princes of the Underworld swore mortal loyalty and who would follow to the end of time the most powerful of all mortal and immortal beings and the herald of the end times. After millennia in a heavy sleep, he shows signs of his awakening. He then wakes up and opens his eyes that look like sunlight and speak with a voice of his own. "I wake up again ..." The balrog wakes up.
