Prologue: Scariness's Over
Tirek is defeated and destroyed, the Changelings are gone; all of Equestria is now saved. That leaves only one thing left to do: finish the festivities up. The ponies all recovered from the nightmare that almost destroyed them all.
Megan smiles as she hangs out with her friends and family, especially her adoptive great-granddaughter. Nyx is happy that she is there to help the ponies save Equestria and her from an evil legend from long ago. Megan found out her story but decides not to be angry or hate the little filly. After all, even ponies make mistakes and were once evil like Luna.
Eventually, Celestia announces, "All right, it's time now for the judging of the best costume. We checked every pony's outfit, trying to figure out the right one to win."
"But," Luna calls out with a smile. "Every one of your outfits is incredible and wonderful, we can't just choose one. And to avoid picking favorites..."
"We decreed that every one is the winner!"
The ponies cheers on with smiles on their faces, looks like the they all have the best costumes this year. Megan announces, "The winners shall receive a truckload of candy."
"Bring it in!" Shining orders his Pegasus troops. The mentioned Royal Guards flew in and dump a lot of candy right in the center of the ponies. Everyone looks excited. That is a huge mountain load. They were prepared to jump in when Megan spoke up.
"But...to make up for all the trouble that Nyx has gone through thanks to Tirek possessing her, she shall go first!"
"Well, go in and go crazy!" Phobos exclaims to Nyx with a smirk. The filly giggles happily as she jumps right into the candy, eating big time.
"Hey, come in, foals! There's enough for everypony!" Nyx exclaims to the foals happily. Her friends and classmates cheers on as they jump in to join in on the candy eating. "Not you Diamond. You were a meanie to me."
Diamond Tiara looks ticked off as Nyx has not allowed her to join in on the fun. Worst yet, her parents silently agreed to Nyx's request. If Tirek would've been killed Nyx off earlier...
The bratty pony turns to Twilight and snaps, "This is all your fault, Sparkle especially for the Tirek madness!"
"My little pony, she just saved your life along wih every pony else's." Celestia said to Diamond, disappointed with the filly's behavior like always.
"This is all your fault, Sparkle. Oh you just let Nyx die, none of this would have happened."
"My little pony!"
"Come back and talk to me when you actually do a good job at beng princess..." Diamond Tiara was caught off as she gets grabbed by the neck by Spike who snarls and brandished his own sword.
"Okay, you better apologize or else!" Spike snaps to Diamond Tiara angrily. The filly scoffs as she got herself free from the dragon's hold.
"Or else what; you can't threaten me like that! Someone besides me would think it's best that that Nightmare brat is better off dead!"
"Oh, I think I do." Pinkie said with a devilish look to Diamond Tiara. She then points to an alley nearby, continuing. "I heard someone else thought that Nyx is better off dead right in there."
"Good, someone agrees with me." Diamond Tiara snaps as she goes over to the alley to see who agrees with her POV. "Hello? Who..."
"Your number just came uuuuuup!" The familiar voice of the creature from the secret dungeon, Pinkamena Diane Pie, booms to Diamond Tiara from within the shadows. Suddenly a familiar mist hits the filly, causing her to scream and shake violently all over, saying the same word over and over.
"Brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr brr!!!"
Filthy Rich looks surprised and shocked as he saw Diamond on the ground, shaking like mad. He ask, "What happened to Diamond Tiara?"
"Oh, poor filly, the incident gave her the bad case of the brrs." Pinkie explains to Filthy Rich while hiding a smirk on her face. The father sighs as he helps his daughter up.
"I better take Diamond Tiara home. She has enough for one night."
As Filthy Rich takes Diamond Tiara home to recover, Pinkie smiles as she gave a secret wink to the hiding Pinkamena. The two has became good friends since the 'Cupcakes 2' incident, the hidden one is glad that she got back at Diamond Tiara for what she said about poor Nyx and anyone else she insulted.
"So...critic guy," Rainbow ask the head of the Princess bashers, who frowns at her. "Whatcha think? Did what happened change your opinion on Celestia now?"
"So what she manages to fight off against Tirek! The alicorn still loses!" The critic snaps to Rainbow in annoyance. "She should've beaten him without back up but the princess lost anyway!"
"Oh, what is it going to take for you to change your mind?"
"I won't rest until Celestia is off the throne and out of the scene."
"Yeah, well I won't rest until you shave your mane off your head!" Ben, who overheard the conversion, snaps right at the critic. "That's a Pinkie Promise!"
"The day that happens is the day I changed my mind!" The critic snaps to Ben right back, making him and Rainbow sighs in annoyance. It looks like he's never going to change his mind.
As the party goes on, Soarin' comment, "Even when the Princesses actually TRY to do something against the villains and monsters, it usually falls to somebody else to deliver the final blow."
Twilight points out, "The Princesses and King Spykroan DID manage to wear Tirek down enough for the rest of us to be able to finish the job - which is no small feat when you consider how powerful Tirek proved to be." The unicorn however looks down in guilt and worry.
"Twilight; what's wrong?" Megan asks Twilight, noticing the guilt look on her face. "Is this about Tirek's defeat?"
"We killed him..."
"Yeah so," Rainbow comments to Twilight, not sure why Tirek's death is so easy to get upset about.
"But that's just it!" Twilight exclaims to Rainbow in worry and horror. "We didn't kill Nightmare Moon, Discord, Boris-"
"Wish we did." Ben said to himself with a frown. Boris should've been dead instead of still roaming around, doing who knows what. Speaking to Twilight, he adds, "But I digress. I know that, even if that was a problem, no pony blames you for what you and your friends must do to stop Tirek."
Twilight try to comment, "The ponies in this town are usually pretty forgiving; at least based on - my bigger mistakes that I would prefer not to discuss or be reminded of. Most other towns would have justifiably run me out of town on a rail for those and yet they - at least mostly - have forgiven me."
Megan smiles as she pets Twilight, comforting the unicorn while saying, "Twilight Sparkle. I know you aren't used to killing off your enemies...but Tirek is a monster and a killer himself. Imprisoning or banishing him wouldn't do any good. If left alive or free, Tirek would've continued trying to conquer all of Equestria or destroy anypony in his way."
"Megan's right, Twilight," Celestia said to Twilight while motioning to Nyx sharing her candy with her friends. "There are some monsters whose will never reform no matter what and will always be a true menace to Equestria. Also, he took over your daughter."
"Yeah, you're right. Now that you mention it, Tirek deserves what he got." Twilight said with a smile as she came over to Nyx. "Okay, Nyx, save some candy for later."
"This is the best Nightmare Night ever!" Nyx giggles while hugging Twilight. "Thanks mommy...for saving me with my aunts, daddy and Great-Grandma Megan's help."
"You're welcome, Nyx."
"Oh brother, I'm never going to get over the 'Great-Grandma' nickname." Megan sighs a bit as the Royal Sisters chuckles a bit.
"Not in this lifetime, Megan." King Spykoran remarks to Megan in amusement. "On the plus side, this night is one story to tell Danny, Molly and the rest of the family back home."
"Great, I wonder how Mike would feel when I tell him that I suddenly became a great-grandmother and to a filly who was once Nightmare Moon no less."
A while later, Luna steps in front of the ponies while announcing in her Royal Canterlot Voice, "Well, ponies, despite the madness we suffered tonight, we think we all have a nice last night of Nightmare Night, did we not?"
"Yeah! Most of the ponies cheers on with smiles while looking excitedly. The last night of Nightmare Night may have been a race for their lives as well as a monster from centuries ago almost taking Equestria...but at the end, all went well.
"Good. Now we decree that the last night of the 31 Days/Nights of Nightmare Night be complete! My sister shall raise the sun for you all while King Spykoran shall lead the entire chorus of dragons and ponies in a song to welcome the new month."
Celestia nods as she and Luna flew upward. As the ponies watch, the moon get lowers as the sun is rose up for a whole new day. As Celestia raises the sun following the conclusion to Nightmare Night and the defeat of Tirek, King Spykroan, as if to celebrate the fact that he and his friends are all still alive and healthy and the fact Tirek got defeated with no innocents getting seriously hurt, lead an entire chorus of dragons and ponies in singing 'Zippity-Doo-Dah'.
Pinkie comment, "Spykroan is also keeping in practice for when he plays Uncle Remus in the author's upcoming 'Song of the South' fanmake." Her friends chuckle a bit in amusement. Their friend can be so random.
During this little display, Golden Heart felt a gentle, yet familiar tug rub on his back. Then when he turns around, say a note and used his magic to take it off and read it. It said, 'Meet me by the Carousel Baroque, come alone.' on the note which Golden Heart signed at knowing what this could mean. After getting by the other ponies, Golden Heart finally managed to head to the location he was told to go to. After arriving, he finally got an answer to his waiting.
"I miss you, Goldie." Golden Heart turned and saw the mysterious figure in whom he's familiar with coming out from a shadowy corner.
"Like you haven't after that last encounter we had, Pinkamena?" Golden Heart shook off his head while responding to this character, even by name now suddenly.
Then coming out of the shadows, was that of Golden Heart's mysterious friend shrouded in her cloak. This person has been doing activity from Lorcan's Invasion to now Tirek's Return. But at this moment, the truly unexpected thing happened, the mare hiding her appearance soon remove her hood and cloak a bit to show what she really looks like. She looks like Pinkie Pie but her mane and tail were flattened and she got a creepy look on her face. This here, was the pony that has been looking out for Golden Heart through the shadows; Pinkamena Diane Pie, the same one who lives in Pinkie's secret dungeon that the Earth pony kept underneath Sugarcube Corner for some reason that gave the ponies the 'Brrs' on a previous Nightmare Night, as well as recently to Diamond Tiara.
"Oh Goldie, you know that I couldn't go on so long without you, best friend." Pinkamena spoke off in a sly manner with a smile in how this stallion spoke to her playfully.
"I know, by the way, thanks for the saves from before. By from me & Lorcan's duel & now," Golden Heart nods with a smile while giving this pony his thanks for the save work from the shadows.
"Anybody that messes with you shall earn my wrath and believe me, you don't wanna see that!" Pinkamena responded off with a smug expression while looking ready to go crazy on anyone that hurts the pony who is her BFF.
"I can only imagine." Golden Heart rolled his eyes in knowing this mare was as crazy as ever to do anything for him, if not go a little eccentric at times. "So what is it we're here? Trying to get me to yourself on this event we're all having after Tirek's final defeat?" The alicorn stallion asked off in feeling that he was brought here for this pony to be his 'date' right now, figures. By 'date', I mean as in hanging out as friends.
"There's that, but..." Pinkamena responded with a sly thought in liking the idea, however. "I'm here to warn you, that the threat with Tirek is gone, but another seems to be rising." The mare stated out with some concerns over what happened during the events with Tirek.
"Let me guess, Grimmore? The Ogres were a dead give away, for only he commands those dumb oafs." Golden Heart stated out with a plain look in knowing all about the Ogres & their connection to the Overlord King himself.
"That maybe true, but I believe he's starting to make a move by letting those in his army come out to play." Pinkamena stated in feeling that the Ogres were not the only ones sent, & she be right from the Clays that she saw.
"Wait, are you saying the Ogres weren't just the only threat army we had to handle?" Golden Heart asked a bit shocked & surprised, who else was there but no one saw them?
"Correct, we may just see them again, plus others that are on Grimmore's side." Pinkamena nods with an agreed with while being serious. "I'm telling you this...so you can try to help the ponies here be weary of new trouble arising." Though it's mostly to help keep Golden Heart safe, helping him by helping those he wants to protect was something she knows makes him glad.
"Thank you Pinkamena, with this information, I, Celestia & Luna, will be more prepared if it comes to another war."
"How about thanking me...by going on a date you suggested, as in best friends not the date kind. You are like my big brother after all! I hear there's a new restaurant in Ponyville that's serving good food. But...if any mares start giving you the eye of interest...'they'll be sorwy', hmhmhmhm..." Pinkamena giggled with a sly smirky expression while playfully tapping Goldie's nose, especially on that hidden threat note on that play act 'they'll be sorry', this one is not giving this stallion to anyone but her.
"Oh boy, I can hardly wait." Golden Heart signs from a rolled eye expression, sounds like he'll have to inform the Mane Six Lookalikes to be careful what they do since they are the only restaurant in Ponyville, & if he goes there with this mare of mystery, lots of mares better be careful around her...and that is no joke. His 'little sister' can be overprotective at times like Twilight is to Shining Armor.
As the Mane Six continues hanging out with Megan, Ben, Spike, Phobos and Nyx, Rainbow comments, "Hopefully, next Nightmare Night will NOT be as exciting as this one. This battle has met and exceeded my excitement quota for the next two weeks."
"Tell me about it, and facing off someone like Tirek? That's something I like to avoid. I rather let grandpa deal with him." Spike remarks with a nod.
Pinkie Pie comments, "For some reason, I can't help thinking about that one dimension we viewed into just a couple of weeks ago. You know, the one where WE are the dragons and Spike was the pony."
"How is 'dat a reminder 'ta yew?" Applejack asks Pinkie puzzled.
"I wonder if those dragons would face what we just did."
"Well, if that the case, I'm sure they would fare better." Fluttershy said to Pinkie with a smile while eating some candy. The Pegasus pony can finally relax after 31 Nights of Nightmare Night.
Pinkie comment, "Somehow, I have a feeling that there may be some stuff in Season Three that might end up contradicting the majority of the stuff in Jus's stories. Oh, well. There are also all sorts of alternate universes, so, even if this fic's continuity DOES end up straying from Season Three canon, it doesn't make the stuff in Jus's fan fiction continuity any less valid. That would just mean this continuity becomes one of many alternate universes, with each universe having an equal claim to reality." Most of the rest of the cast simply shaking their heads, knowing this is just Pinkie being Pinkie.
"Oh no worries, Auntie Pinkie Pie; If that were the case, JusSonic will find a way to make it work for his fics like he barely manage to put in some fics so far! He never let that bother him before!" Nyx chirps to Pinkie happily. Her parents and her other aunts look confused by what she just said. "What? I picked up breaking the fourth wall from her!"
"Yep! That's my honorable niece!"
"Somehow, I may never understand you ponies at times." Megan chuckles a bit to her friends.
As the celebration on the new day continues, no one saw a lone changeling trying to sneak up on Rainbow Dash, only be grabbed by Rainbow...who has a mechanical four digit claw instead of a hoof.
"What," The Changeling asks in shock as he looks from Rainbow to the other one, "How?!"
'Rainbow' then claims, "I'm Rainbow in a way. Non one shall kill her but me," whilst in a cold robotic sounding voice. She then drags the Changeling (his voice been muffled so no one can hear him scream) away to his fate.
During the celebrations, no one also saw a shadowy figure can be seen sneaking off with genetic samples lifted from Celestia, Luna AND Tirek. She smirks sinisterly. Her master will be pleased with this...and best of all, no one will realize until it's too late...
-----------------
The scene now changes to another area where it's only showing us two ponies; Twilight and Celestia. They are at a hidden spot where they can discuss something in private for the moment.
"You wish to see me, Celestia?" Twilight Sparkle responded with her most humble tone in addressing her ruler.
"Yes Twilight, you recall that the Forbidden Book of Spells was in your home." Celestia nods to her loyal student and family member as she asked if the mare recalls a certain 'spell book' within her captivity.
"Oh, about that; I can explain!" Twilight yelps a bit in surprise, she figured that the Princess of the Sun would later on realize that the Book of Forbidden Spells was within reach of the enemy 'cause it was in her home unproductive. "I would have written saying something about it, but then I became interested in its pages and lost track of time, so…" As Twilight was trying her best to explain the matter of the book of such spells was in her possession without secretly securing it, the princess cut her off.
"It's okay Twilight, in truth as you know, I sent that Book of Forbidden Spells to be with you personally." Celestia held up her left hoof to calmly let her student know that she knew about the matter, being the one who did the deed.
"Well…yes. But…why?" Twilight slowly responded a bit puzzled while curious on the matter, why would Princess Celestia send her the Forbidden Book of Spells, something that once caused trouble for ponies in the past to even now.
"To have you be up to date in what spells you may come across when trouble arises...anew." Celestia spoke from looking out over a field that was quiet and peaceful, but kept a stern focus face as if suggesting to be cautious.
"So…it's not over yet? There's still some evil to face?" Twilight looked to her princess with a puzzled face, thinking that their times of peace might not last again.
"Yes, some even more powerful than we can imagine. Yet they haven't made their move…" Celestia spoke with a stern and serious face, knowing that Tirek's evil maybe gone, but there will certainly be others to take his place to try and cause harm to her ponies. "There was one spell I wanted you to understand the most, so that it maybe use to give you aid in the greatest threat you're situated with." The princess of the sun looked to Twilight, as if explaining the importance of knowing of one 'certain spell' out of the others that can do the most good.
"And…which one is that?" Twilight curled her left eyebrow in confusion, she seen some of the spells form the Forbidden Book, but nothing that hasn't been seen that would be of much help.
"A powerful spell known as…the "Xros-Fusion" Spell," Celestia slowly spoke and then held her head up high in declaring the name of the spell in nature and the power it can call forth.
"The…Xros…Fusion…Spell?" Twilight slowly noted with a much more puzzling face than before as if not completely following that word or name of the spell mentioned. "Forgive me for asking, but what preciously is that spell?"
"It's a spell to fuse two beings together. Such is the different term of speaking it 'crossing' with 'fusion' put together." The princess slowly stated in speaking how the mentioned spell can be noted to be label as before explaining its properties, "The spell that crosses different breeds to fuse them. Like taking a Pegasus & a Unicorn to become an Alicorn, both gaining the skill of another and increasing their other skills more than before." Celestia stated out with a much focus expression, explaining the much important detail of the spell brings two creatures and make them into one.
"Wait…is this like that Talent Swap Spell Boris used?" Twilight stop for a moment to ask a question, this spell almost sounds like what Boris the Red Devil used during the Demon Pony event.
"No, unlike that spell, this doesn't take, it merges. Once more, it's up for more than just two choices, the number of mergence is limitless." Celestia shook her head while explaining that for this particular spell, there's not much of bad but of good uses from it. "The spell can be used to make someone be the core member to hold the others together. They must be strong of mind and body and work what they have to their advantage." From what the princess explained, if someone like Twilight was the core member during the meeting, she would have the power of those that fused together with her.
"So…if me and my friends did this spell." Twilight slowly was speaking out in trying to match up what Celestia was getting to. "Would we be as strong as you and Luna, princess?" To the smart mare's theory, if she and her friends did become one strong being from this fusion spell, would they almost be strong as the Royal Sisters?
"Perhaps…even stronger," Celestia made a sly smirk in suggesting a possibility that seem to jump up Twilight's hopes a bit. "The spell allows one to get stronger if another strong individual allows themselves to fuse with you and gain their strength and abilities." The princess stated out; for those in Twilight's group, all the facts of their talents would be merged together, all for one and one for all in that sorta understanding of what's to happen.
"There's one thing I'm not following." Twilight asked off from feeling something tugged in the back of her head. "Why was this spell put in the Book of Forbidden Spells?" The smart mare wanted to know if this spell, 'Xros-Fusion' was to aid them in their toughest time of need, why was it hidden to never be seen again?
"Because…a lot of evil minded hearts would force others to merge with them, giving them greater power without a care. They would even choose to remain that way permanently." Celestia explained with a very serious and stern expression in what she spoke was very true. Evil villains would use this spell to gain more strength and power without caring for others they use to get that way and even wanting to never return to normal.
"Then…what about us," Twilight asked a bit hesitated, now seeing the dangers of this spell, was it assuring to say…if she and her friends did this, would they be stuck as one person instead of six?
"You have nothing to fear, the spell will stay active but it can be undone on two accounts." Celestia smiled when she shook her head to assure Twilight of other matters that would be different for if the Mane Six wanted to know if they could return to normal. "One is if the core member is willing to split those in the spells fusion to return to their original selves, and another is if they are overpowered to the point, they lose focus and break apart." The princess explained out the conditions in which even when the spell is being effective of fusing others into one being, the core member of the merger has the will to separate or if something causes those fused to de-fuse, then those are the only ways of returning to one's original self.
"Wow, I had no idea!" Twilight spoke out with a wide smile in feeling like she's learned something extra new here. "So then…how could I make this Xros-Fusion Spell work for us?" The mare questioned off in how such a spell could be worked well with the Mane Six.
"That's the easy part if you all have the will to do it and let your strengths become one." Celestia nods with an honest smile in how the spell in question can be done willingly, and not by force. "Also, when fused, you may not look the same; you may even take on an entirely different form. Perhaps to even go under a new name," The princess pointed out one major detail, those that fuse, especially a large number, can create a new being to show characteristics almost similar to those used to merge with.
"Really, that's amazing!" Twilight responded in surprise, this does indeed sound like something that would catch anyone's attention.
"Yes, and even though you will fight in a new fusion body, remember, those of your friends are with you inside, and I do mean truly," Celestia nods to state that even if Twilight & the Mane Six are only of one body from fusing, they are still connected, able to talk and speak suggests while they are merged.
"Oh course princess, I also want to know." Twilight nods in understanding, but also had another question she had to ask. "Could we even use this spell with the Elements?" This was a good question, would they have the Elements, would their forms changed to fit their fusion creation? After all, the Elements did do something of becoming accessories to be worn all over Spike when he was fighting Lorcan that time a while back.
"Yes, that is why I believe you and your friends can do this." Celestia nods once again with honesty as her witness in responding to the question. "Perhaps by using the Elements and the spell, you can create something of 'Unity', and with that approach any danger without fear." This piece of news sounded almost too good to be true, a spell this strong and use of the Elements of Harmony, the Mane Six with those were strong enough, sure, but imagine…if they were fused into an even stronger individual to conquer the task at hand. "But do try to practice it, saying and doing are completely different things." The princess issue that Twilight and her friends first try to practice and learn how to perform the deed, it may not come off so easily at first, but only after practicing, will the time to use it be known if they got it down.
"I'll inform my friends right away, until then, thank you Princess Celestia." Twilight nods with a humble bow before she and Celestia nuzzled each other's heads.
"Take care, my beloved little pony." Celestia nods with a smile as she watches her prized student now rush off to tell her friends the news while planning to enjoy herself with the last bit of the festivities.
----------------------
The scene returns us to the place where evil still lies within the Gates of Tartarus, within the center reign, where Grimmore's palace lies. And within the chambers, the Overlord King sits on his throne, resting his chin on his right hand as he, and even Ji-Ga-No by his side while he hovered, saw the Black Clays enter and bow before their lord and master.
"I can tell that the mission…was successful." Grimmore spoke from looking down at his Black Clays that have return to tell him the news that he wishes to hear.
"Yes master, the crystal is within the human called Megan's possession." Captain Clay responded with a humble arm cross bow in acknowledging his lord's question with an answer.
"Excellent, as a show of my thanks, I shall create something 'special' to join my army base upon you all." Grimmore smiled ever still to hear this and now he wishes to present something as what will be a part of his army; using the pattern structure similar to his clays.
"Oh really, and what precisely, would it be?" Ji-Ga-No asked with a raised attention to what 'new' soldier would be made within the Grimmore Army.
"Look and see." Grimmore spoke as he sat up straight and soon forged within his left hand, a sphere made of metal. "Here, I hold but a simple forged of strong metal alloy in the form of a sphere!" The Overlord King exclaimed in showing something that his followers are understanding. "Fissiivhmm…" Then without warning, the sphere was bulky and stretching out in a wobbly matter, like it was alive. "And I can change its form to liquid, but when forged again becomes a strong metal object." Grimmore explained the basic concepts in which he can control even the properties and structures of metal objects, even before or after they have made made.
"And what are we getting at with this display?" Ji-Ga-No asked once more, being avoided of his earlier question to what the point was here.
"This right here," Grimmore smirked with a wicked sense as he brought forth something in his right hand that glowed and forged a familiar green triangle form; it was the copied Triforce he obtained a while back. "I shall infuse a small sample of the copied Triforce's power into this metallic sphere…to create…a Living Weapon!" The Overlord King proclaimed his next step to creating, 'stronger' creatures to serve him, and cause some mayhem. "Life-Creation - FORMATION!" Grimmore chatted forth as he let the two items hovered in his hands, before the copied Triforce of the smallest force, was brought to the metal sphere.
"Spzizizivhmm…" Sparks flew off when the two items touched each other; the Black Clays flinched from seeing such power while Ji-Ga-No, never flinched even once. "Frusvhmm…" Soon the small copy of the Triforce & metal sphere merged with only the latter remaining; all seemed quiet until… "Grugrusvhmm…" The metal soon turns to goop and slipped pass the Overlord King's hand onto the floor.
"Nothing has happened." Ji-Ga-No responded in being surprised, usually, something amazing would happen, even if that was only a small portion of the TriForce infused, so why?
"Wait for it." Grimmore held up his left hand to signel his general to give this time, it's only just starting.
"Grusvhmm-Fruspvhmm…" Soon the metal goop began to move on its own and more so shape it's very being, "MWRUAAAAAAUGHHH!" From the eerie voice, it sounded like the wailing of a soul from a creature. By then, all in the room took notice of what was created and given life by Grimmore's magic; an amoeba-like creature that was gray and has no eyeballs with his body looking to be made of liquid mental. He took the form generally assumed of a hairless, legless humanoid which was similar to the Black Clays. Once he gotten to look at his surroundings, he saw the being who created him; the Overlord King himself.
"Welcome to the world, you shall be called: Metal Jell!" Grimmore responded like a king, welcoming into arms, a new warrior to his cause. "You are the first of my Elite Warriors." The Overlord King proclaimed in announcing the rank this 'new' creature shall be in a part of the other soldiers within the Grimmore Army.
"Hmmm…heheh," The creature called Metal Jell heard this and chuckled a bit in liking the sounds of this.
"And what is this Elite Warriors you speak, my lord?" Ji-Ga-No asked from looking at Grimmore and curious puzzlement at this Metal Jell creature as this new system of rank is new to him.
"That is simple to say, of what I mean. Creatures I create by taking something strong and use my magic to make them stronger beings out of the rest of the army I made." Grimmore smiled in resting his head again on his right hand while stating how any creature he creates that are the Elite, are stronger than the others in the army. "But why listen, when a display is in order. Black Clays, attack Metal Jell!" The Overlord King exclaimed out as he looked to his awaiting Black Clays with an order to attack his creation, their new comrade.
"Whah," The Black Clays yelped in hearing this order, Grimmore wants them to fight this one creature against their large numbers.
"Master, are you sure?" Captain Clay was about to ask if his master was certain of this, usually none of the army captains question their lord, but this one might be heading towards disaster.
"Yes, do it!" Grimmore spoke while a close zoom of his eyes made a darkened narrow move of focus as if saying 'do it, OR ELSE' in the most slyest and unexpected way to threaten someone.
"Hmhmhmhmmm…" Captain Clay flinched by that last tone, it's enough to send shivers down even spineless jelly creatures like the clays, "Men! Attack him all at once!" The captain quickly turned to his troops and pointed the target in front of them; they are to attack Metal Jell without question.
"Yaaaaahhhhh," The Black Clays roared their battle cries as they were charging or leaping up in the air, arms to whips, they were going out.
"Hmph, an entire large troop brigade, now that hardly seems fair," Metal Jell spoke with a little smile in seeing this as he was being attacked from all sides while making this claim, "For you," Of course, on that last note, it sounded like the direct opposite before his right arm became a long expending whip. "Whipvhmm…Bashhfruvhmm…" And then in an amazing feet, lashed that one weapon that impacted all of the Black Clays, stopping them in their tracks.
"WAAAUUGH…GAAAUGH…" The Black Clays were shot back, even their captain, scattered across the ground, a bit wounded, but alive.
"Mwahahahah, you'll have to do a little better than that to stand against me!" Metal Jell laughed off at what he's done as if seeing that was barely much of a challenge to him.
"Incredible, he took them out with a single blow of an attack!" Ji-Ga-No spoke out interested in that display of power, one warrior bested out an entire platoon, it's some achievement. "Is this the power that just a small dosage of the Triforce can give?" The Metallix Dragon questioned his lord in thinking that just a little sample of the Triforce makes one being this strong then what's to say of a full dosage?
"Yes, and I'll soon create more Elite Warriors like this one here." Grimmore responded with a pleased expression, he'll create others just as like Metal Jell but different in every meaning. "Not to mention, create even more powerful beings to be on closer pairing with you, my general. They shall be known as my Elite Warlords." The Overlord King proclaimed out to Ji-Ga-No that soon he'll have created those that are even stronger than the Elite Warriors class, those closer to this dragon's term of power and strength; the Elite Warlords.
"As strong as me, HA; you'll be luckily to create them by tapping in the item in question to bring out more than a small bit of that copied Triforces power!" Ji-Ga-No responded off in a sarcastic tone that the only way any new creation his master makes that can almost be on par with him, is by getting more power from the Triforce itself even if he makes copies of it from smallest to largest qualities.
"Indeed, it will take a few tries, but while I'm at it, a few powerful creatures to serve me is just as nice." Grimmore closed his eyes to look away while chatting a bit on how to imagine having stronger creatures in his army would make this all the sweeter, "And when my next creations with their power near to yours Ji-Ga-No, Equestria shall fall under a 'new' might." The Overlord King declared forth, soon, very soon, he'll have forces not only in numbers, but those whose strengths are no laughing matter and will spell 'doomsday' to all who challenge them and him. "To which, I think of letting my Elite Warriors take charge in causing some mayhem for the ponies by giving them access to travel from here to Equestria, and use whatever of the troops in the army as they see fit." The man in the throne declared out as he stared down to Metal Jell telling him that he and others like him shall take charge of causing some mayhem chaos to the ponies of Equestria.
"You are too kind, Lord Grimmore." Metal Jell humbly bowed before his king and lord, smiling in accepting this task to ruffle up some ponies.
"Hahahaaaah, so it's about time we started!" Ji-Ga-No laughed out in seeing that they can finally act now in lauching their attack, but...
"Not yet, too much power over-clasping our targets would hardly be, 'sporting' in the sense." Grimmore held up his right hand to stop his general, and smiled with his ego in wanting to be 'fair' in his vocabulary. The Overlord King likes to have a good show; entertainment is what he seeks, so why go all out when some showing of his army's might is just the first approach. "For now, we'll cause some upsides and roars, even a bit of my magic can cause some damage. But all in all, it's all for show…for the grand-moment that shall be…the certain downfall of Equestria." Grimmore exclaimed with a darken tone in knowing all to well, a few bits of his army to show their strength to bring a new threat to Equestria, and maybe at times, show off himself, but this is all but the 'Main Openings', as the 'Main Event' to the final will come when the time is right.
The gathered members in the chamber laughed wickedly before Grimmore ordered them to leave him be. Ji-Ga-No soar out of the room, Metal Jell passed the recovered Black Clays that stood up, even the captain before following their next leading commander. Once the coast was clear, a portal of flames appeared before Grimmore, but the image was a bit fuzzed out. The only distend characteristic was this person hid himself in a cloak; the coloring wasn't showing right…almost like the other user was trying to keep his appearance as much secret as possible.
"I can tell, you saw who was putting on a show for us, and is…no more." Grimmore spoke slyly to his mysterious calling, stating some facts about Tirek.
"Yes, to believe Tirek was alive, it took us by surprise," The mysterious being responded in being all to surprising to learn of Tirek's involvement in this day and age.
"Just so you know, my side is beginning to move a few steps into the play-field, not all at once, but just as nice…how about yours?" Grimmore spoke casually in stating what his side shall soon be doing and ponders the thought in what this person individually is up to.
"I've gathered my members for the Organization and the latest recruits….one of them being my daughter and her associate friends." This mysterious being responded with a solitude tone in mentioning how he's creating an 'organization', and something of involving his own daughter.
"My, my, bring family into the business. Isn't that nice and should I address you for having connections with Smaug?" Grimmore smirked to learning and knowing of what this mysterious being was saying and he was almost going to say his name relating to a terrible unicorn of long ago; Smaug.
"No, just…Superior will be fine." The mysterious hooded figure in cloak responded as he just wanted to be responded; as the Superior.
"Hmph, very well Superior. You do what you must on your side and I'll stir up something on my side." Grimmore nods with an easy going smile, seeing that the Superior wants to have things his way for the time being as both of them have plans it seems. "Everyone believes I'm cocky but they'll say anything to move pass their fears…that I'm someone to be feared. You and I both are the types, now aren't we?" His eyes stretched out in a most wickedly vile and threatening manner as if stating to all the fools out there, to never bite off more than they can chew when opposing something they should fear, both the Overlord King, even the Superior here, are those type of beings themselves.
"Yes, we'll begin a few steps here for our cause, and soon…all will be within our grasp of the destiny that awaits us." The Superior nods before stating off that all of his efforts and organization are working towards the same goal.
"I wouldn't have it any other way…yes." Grimmore nods in hearing this, and smiles in absorbing all of that, for it means…the time of the grand-finale will come that will spell 'The End' for Equestria. The only thing about this, while some villains argue it can't come sooner, this one…wants to have some 'fun' before the darken hour arrives, "Mwahahahahahah-Waaahahahahahaaaa!" Soon the mad laughter echoed out from the thrown chamber and across the entire prison of Tartarus. As the threat to Equestria is not being brought by the Grimmore Army, but by another force, things will not be as quiet and settled as others may think. For in truth, evil never sleeps, it lies within the shadows of every corner…preparing….TO STRIKE!
The End?
