Chapter 17: Decorations to Pass Under

"I kissed Void..." said Fluttershy. Everyone gasped and turned to look at her. But nopony said anything. 
Then Twilight said, "I kissed him to but it was Etherlos who was in control of his body. Anyways that's not the point here. We need to figure out a way to find Void and stop Etherlos." 
Everypony agreed and they started planning how to stop this force of evil. And this time it was personal.

                            *****

Etherlos was pleased with himself. He had taken control of the body completely, and had gained enough power to force out the actual owner. No more annoying fighting for control. Etherlos was seated on a throne made out of solidified shadows, shifting and undulating beneath him. Void, or Void's soul, was spiritually chained to the floor of the cavern. Etherlos remembered the look the Pegasus girl gave him when he spoke to her. A look of utter betrayal.
"Hoo-hoo-hoooo!" he laughed from the memory. Void just stared sullenly at the floor. 
"Ah, chin up. Atleast I'm not planning on destroying Equestria! Just taking over Equestria. That's all."
Void looked up and tried to strike the dark spirit but the soul chains held him at bay. 
Etherlos struck Void and said, "How dare you attack the one who spared you and let you keep your soul!"
Void sank to his knees and stared at the ground. Etherlos let out an exasperated huff.
"Come if we are to make a grand entrance we must set up decorations to pass under."
"What does that mean, your stinginess?" said the beaten soul.
"It means we must hurry if we are to capture the lunar princess, dumbass." said the angry spirit.
Panic filled Void as he said this. Etherlos began to walk away. A dark rip opened and he entered it. For a second Void thought Etherlos forgot him, but suddenly the chains tugged him towards the hole. He followed their command and entered the hole, hoping that his friends had a plan to stop Etherlos.
