//------------------------------// // Chapter 7: Cease and desist // Story: Death awaits // by the star bringer //------------------------------// when StarGazer finally made it to Cozy Glow's house, he floated up to her window and knocked on it. "Couldn't have you used the door?" she asked, "Your right but I was too excited to show you this!" he turned around to show her his brand new cutie mark, "also do you have paper?". Cozy was confused but gave him paper anyway he quickly wrote a letter to princess Twilight telling the bad news about Sombra and teleported the scroll to Canterlot. Cozy was still kind of confused but she didn't really care. She was just really happy for her friend they hung out for a while but eventually StarGazer went home, Suddenly Cozy was teleported and she knew where she, she was in Grogar's cave and standing in front of her was King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis and Lord Tirek, "Welcome Cozy Glow" Sombra spoke "I've brought you here because we are planning an attack on Canterlot, now I know you might not want to but imagen all the power you'll have all to yourself and nopony else!" then an evil grin formed on her face as she gave a nod of approval, as they broke into song "Lights, camera, action Another day in traction Of being bashed and whacked To rack up ponies' reactions Apparently, it's the fashion To be lacking in compassion Require a villain to balance And then fire at him with Magic We will smile through the pain Then climb up and start again Living someone else's game As we tumble to the ground Planting faces in the pavement For our enemies' entertainment No one said when chasing fame That the direction would be down And so we fall All we've ever known is being the enemy And so we fall Our only home is Tartarus And so we fall Ever downward chasing crowns we'll never see And so we fall until the day we choose to rise Scrambling to the mantle Straddling stacks of tangled ragdolls Forging forwards on the trampled Backs of comrades round our ankles It's a constant uphill battle Against logs and giant apples For the stupid pony friends We just pray they meet their end Face-first at the door you've chosen Hoping it's the one that opens We've no noses to be broken But our spirits feel the sting One more baton to the face At the back end of the race Never-ending fall from grace Second place don't mean a thing We fall All we've ever known is being the enemy And so we fall Our only home is Tartarus And so we fall Ever downward chasing crowns we'll never see And so we fall until the day we choose to rise We'll start a union, fight these vertical atrocities It's hard to organise at terminal velocity We won't stand for being herded for your novelty Stranded in a technicolour rubber purgatory Another gungeward plunging to avoid And so we fall Another hundred flung into the void And so we fall Another bludgeoned lunge through spongey dungeon toys And so we fall until the day we choose to rise All we've ever known is being the enemy And so we fall Our only home is Tartarus And so we fall Ever downward chasing crowns we'll never see And so we fall until the day we choose to rise" * A few weeks later * "Where is she?!" StarGazer spoke it had been a few weeks since Cozy's disappearance. He grew more sick with worry and tiredness by the day. missing posters were scattered around Ponyville most of them saying "Have you seen me?" or "MISSING" but nopony was ever able to find her, weeks turned into months.
