Grogar often described himself to be a patient creatur, but Grogar was a villain and villains lie. His original plan has pretty much gone down the drain and harmony seemed to be quite powerful, eventough she sacrificed so much of her power. So he had to act smart and fast. 

After taking out his frustrations on the Bar, he  was now able to face the Situation with a clean head. He made his way back to his lair and got out his Bell, that was still only able to talk with him, but that was going to change very soon. 

"Your plan didn't work out so well i pressume?" 

"Yes... it seems like the enemy is smarter than  i tought" 

"Maybe you should use another pony for me?" 

"No, that part isn't going to change i am talking about dealing with the protectors of Equestria. Gusty seems to have taken quite a liking to the three groups, especially those children, getting past her will be quite a difficult mission, yet she's clearly very busy keeping me out. Perhaps if i manage to get just the ponies i need at the edge of the forest i can catch them, like with the princess"

"And how exactly are you planning to do that?" 

"I may not have wanted to do this, but it seems like my hooves are tight"

The bell felt a cold shiver go down it's non existant back. "Y-you don't mean you will cast that spell now?" 

"That is precisely what i mean" Grogar looked at his Bell pure determination in his eyes "I will curse that demon disguised as a pegasus filly now, then i will begin with my plan" 

"At this point all i can do is warn you, if you course that filly you will make yourself two powerful enemies, that wouldn't hesitate killing you, should the need ever arise" the bell was turned off again. 

Carefully as to not make a sound, Grogar slowy tip toed into the chamber of the dennounced queen, where all three of his henchmann slept together side by side, it was a disgusting display. As he closed in at the trio he made out what looked like the locks of a certain Pegasus filly. Indeed there was cozy laing under chrysalises wing, which is going to be quite an issue. That changeling had killer reflexes and her shapeshifting abilities wasn't something to laugh at. 

This would have been an impossible task for most creatures, but thankfully grogar wasn't most creatures, he was the father of monsters for celestias sake! It took a lot of time and care, yet he was succesful. As soon as he held her in his arms, he wanted to puke. Still he kept his compulsure and teleportated them to his room, where nocreature would be able to hear him.

After making sure it was truly safe, he started to cast the spell again. His horns caught fire, between his hooves a black Orb formed that slowly took on the shape of a hear. Now he concentreted everything he had to finish it the orb began to stire for cozys chest and the Moment it made contact, she started to kick with her hooves and groan in pain. Dark grey Cracks formed around her chest area and a grey spot appeared where her heart is supposedly at. She returned to sleeping and Grogar brought her back under chrysalises wing.


Somewhere in the everfree forest inside a strange hut Zecora woke up screaming. With sweat dripping down her face she regathered her thoughts. It happened, the spell was cast, the countdown has started, all their hard work to prevent this was useless for the final battle is coming. As she rushed out of bed only one single thought occupied her mind. 

"I need to warn harmony!"
