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.

Chapter 2

A month after the Tirek’s incident

Equestria was reorganizing after the terrible attack in Canterlot, houses were demolished, reduced to dust and debris, the streets are razed with dirt and several families are homeless due to the deposed centaur. The castle lies only a single tower intact (that of the princesses), no one knows why Tirek left it intact. Talking about princesses,Princess Celestia has been in her royal room since the defeat of the tyrant, tired because of the loss of energy and the question of the nation. Princess Luna went on a patrol to help Canterlot and the surrounding towns, providing help with health, infrastructure and other services. Princess Cadance returned to the Crystal Empire with Shining Armor to relax and soothe her subjects.

In Ponyville, several houses are being repaired and rebuilt due to battle, stallions and mares are taking care of the reconstruction of the city, some are caring for the sick and others are flying to see if they find more havoc. Rainbow Dash is in a loop coming and going catching water from the clouds to extinguish any kind of fire. Applejack is cooperating in repairing the houses, loading materials and apples for the workers, as well as working on the family farm with his brother Big Mac and his sister Applebloom (rarely with his sister, because she lives with her friends to play Crusaders) . Pinkie Pie was responsible for supplying the workers the entire month, making pies and cupcakes for each one three times a day (in total, there are more than 500 workers in the city, nor ask how she achieves such a feat).

On the other side, Rarity is hitting the workers' attire and helping to carry materials, always with a rejuvenating spirit. Fluttershy is helping with regard to animals, trimming those who have lost their homes due to the fire and in battle, sad whenever she sees one injured and about her friend chaotic. But unlike each other, the new princess spent a whole month in her library, scouring in her books for an answer to what Tirek had said, "You have no idea what they did," what did he mean by that? "She wondered for days and nights about the reason for the words of the fallen demon in battle.

"Twilight, I think you'd better go out and breathe an open air," said his faithful companion Spike the baby dragon.

"No, I want to know the reason behind Tirek's words," she replied anxiously.

"Look, Twilight, you've been in your room for over a month while the guys are helping with the rebuilding of Ponyville, get out and go relax, you look very stressed, I think this is nothing," Spike said honestly. .

"You want to know Spike, I think you're right this time. I'm going out. "Twilight spoke with a hint of joy and a small smile.

Then Twilight left and went to see each of her friends, to see if she could help each of them. First, she went to Fluttershy's cottage to see if she would have a hard time with their animals, to slam the door she is greeted by Angel Bunny that led to its owner. Arriving there she was greeted by a certain silent mare.

"Good-morning, Twilight." She said, "I-I'm taking care of mr. Bear. "

"Can I help?" Twilight asked.

"Okay, you can help. Here-"

And then Twilight went to help Fluttershy with his friends but even after helping so many animals, only a perpetual thought in her head "Something is going to change from here ..."



Location: Tartarus Prison - 2 weeks ago



The prison environment could not change since the departure of Tirek, the fallen centaur lies defeated on the cold cage that is his prison, only to hear the sound of his companions. The Tartarus, a prison designed to contain the worst of the worst, projected on the cold slopes of a mountain of the underworld, locked by seven demonic seals and headed by the being that Tirek swore to death, the King of the Underworld.

For two weeks without pause, the centaur suffers a new trial, which has no idea what it is and questions why "It does not make any sense. I should be arrested until the end of time since I am a demon prince, unless ... " Suddenly, Tirek hears footsteps coming towards him, like the drumming of a thick drum or the sound of a lightning bolt, he looks closely and sees the figure behind the footsteps, walking on two legs with a lion's torso as by brown and a horse-like head with wolf-like canines and eyes resembling that of the fallen centaur, was his brother 'traitor' Scorpan.

Scorpan observes Tirek with disgusted eyes and disgust, but with a grief of sorrow, the centaur does not understand why his brother's gaze but that not already he carries a tremendous hatred for his betrayal. Scorpan then speaks in a voice of sadness and hope, but afraid of the response of his older brother.

"Tirek, my brother, this hatred must end, you must accept the magic of friendship, only then will you be loosed"

-"NEVER!!!! I will never accept such a fallacy, I will be imprisoned until the end of time but I will never accept such an option. "Tirek spoke with immeasurable hatred projected to his brother" And I never want to see your face, traitor! "

- "Unfortunately I cannot let that happen." Scorpan spoke with motivation and repentance, Tirek was in doubt about the choice of his brother's words, which never shown such determination in front of him or his family, but soon that changed with the next his words "HE woke up and make your judgment for your betrayal, Tirek."

At that moment he felt a terrible fear, for it would be judged by the King. But for Scorpan a tear came out of his eyes and he asked Tirek.

"Tirek, why?" Scorpan asked dismayed and sad "We swear our lives and souls to the King and you betray him, without thinking about our people, our family, me."

This time, repentance fell on Tirek, he should never have found himself superior to the Balrog, what of his people? Of his family? Of Scorpan? It is logical that he was a traitor to Tirek, but at the same time he was part of his family, his younger brother. For the first time in his life, he feels something wet dripping over his face, a tear. Tirek then turns his back to his brother and says.

-"Go away."

- "But Tirek this -" Scorpan tries to reply but suddenly screams.

- "GO AWAY AND NEVER GO BACK, MY TRAITOR BROTHER !!!"

The cry of Tirek echoes over the prison and Scorpan in response leaves leaving the old powerful centaur, now weak and without power discouraged and a little sad to have had a fight with his brother.



At the same time, a shadow was watching the two brothers and their discussion. This shadow was different from the others, for by observing in the depths of its dark emptiness it is possible to observe two shining eyes, like the light of a lighthouse that would burn everything in its path by its luminosity. The king watched them.

In his shadowy tower, the king, after two weeks since his awakening, articulated his presence in the world again, this will have consequences for both the Underworld and all of Equis.

- "Get ready world of mortals and immortals, for the Lord of Balrogs put his mark again ..."

He prepares for his first step.
