We fade in on a dark looking forest of sorts that was covered in green colored webs. We then see the source of the webs is revealed to be from the pony standing beneath them. However, this wasn't an ordinary pony. She had a chintin type of coat that was colored a very dark gray. She had a carapace on her back which was a gradient of dark arctic blue to moderate green. She had a dark cerulean mane and moderate harlequin eyes with dark grayish opal colored pupils as her eyelids were covered in very deep opal eyeshadow. This was Queen Chrysalis. Disgraced former ruler of the Changeling race.

She stood alone in the forest clearing while talking to herself in a deranged sounding voice.

Queen Chrysalis: One day, you'll see! I will defeat Twilight Sparkle and her friends! ** And they will pay for stealing my kingdom!

It's revealed that she's talking to a log that had a carving of one of her former changeling soldiers on it as well as several other logs that had the same carvings. She blasted another carving onto another log before she was mysteriously teleported away in a poof of dark (F/C) colored magic. Moments later, in a deep dark cave near the frozen tundras of the Crystal Empire, a stick is levitated with a dark (F/C) colored aura as it makes a pentagram like glyph on the dirt below. Once it was finished, a black crystal arose from the middle before a black tornado formed in its place as a pair of green eyes appeared within it.

The throne room is quiet at first before Queen Chrysalis pops in and looks around curiously.

Queen Chrysalis: W-What is this place?! Where am I?!

She asked while frantically looking around until someone else appears only a few feet away from her. She looked and her eyes widened. They were a unicorn stallion with dark gray steel clasps on his hooves as well as a cape that a kind would wear that also came with a pointed crown on his head. He had a curved dark red colored horn along with a set of brilliant scarlett eyes with deep scarlett slitted pupils. He had a dark gray coat and a pure black mane. This was King Sombra. The once second in command of the Umbrum and former rival of V/N before Shadowlight.

Queen Chrysalis: King Sombra! You have returned? Why did you bring me here?!

She demanded as he could only give her a confused stare.

King Sombra: I did no such thing. I was teleported here the same as you.

Suddenly, a third figure pops into the room. This time, it was a large ram with a moderate cornflower blue colored coat, two large azure colored horns on top of his head, a light cobalt bluish gray colored mane, and a set of pale apple green colored eyes with moderate red colored pupils. He had a collar around his neck that looked as though it was supposed to have a bell hanging from it. This was Grogar. The fabled "Father of Monsters" as well as V/N and Shadowlight's creator.

Grogar: W-What? How did I get here?

Queen Chrysalis: ** Are... are you the fabled... Grogar?

King Sombra: He... he is.

Grogar turned to gaze at them curiously.

Grogar: Who are the both of you? What even is this place?

???: You'll find out soon enough.

They all heard someone call out from the entrance as they turned to see Demon Shimmer, Midnight Sparkle, Gaea Everfree, Juniper Monstar, Tirek, and Cozy Glow stepping through the doorway in their pony forms.

Grogar: What is the meaning of this?! Why have you all summoned us here?!

???: They didn't.

They all heard another voice come from where the throne was. They turned around once again only to be greeted by the presence of V/N who sat in his throne while glaring down at Grogar.

(V/N): Hello... father. Long time, no see.

Grogar and King Sombra let out a small gasp at seeing him alive and well.

Grogar: ...V/N?

King Sombra: It... It can't be.

V/N cackled a little before glaring again.

(V/N): Oh... but it is. What? Disappointed that I didn't die in that Ursa Major attack that you caused? The one that changed my fate forever? The one... THAT KILLED MY ENTIRE FAMILY?!?!

Grogar scoffed before smirking.

Grogar: Well now, I see someone has matured in the last couple centuries.

He then walked closer to V/N.

Grogar: You had it coming, you waste of a creation. That's just what happens to those who defy me. Besides, you couldn't match Shadowlight's unwavering convictions.

(V/N): ** That is until he betrayed you as well.

Cozy Glow: Umm... sorry to interrupt, but are you two related?

He looked back at her only to hit her hard on the head.

Grogar: Hello? Hello? Anybody home? What do you think? V/N just calls me "father" for his health?

Cozy rubbed her head while giving the blue colored ram the stink eye.

Cozy Glow: Hey! I was just asking!

Grogar scoffed before turning back to V/N.

Grogar: So, this is what you've been up to for the past few centuries? Recruiting children?

(V/N): She's only along for the ride. I didn't so much as recruit her. I just gave her the option to tag along.

Cozy was about to object to that before letting out a sigh of defeat.

Cozy Glow: I'd... hate that statement if it wasn't true.

Grogar: So, if you hated me so much, why did you bring me back here?

V/N smirked at that.

(V/N): I'm so glad you asked that question. Do you remember this little thing?

He showed his former master the Infinity Amulet which earned a gasp from the blue colored ram.

(V/N): That's right. This is what I've been working on lately, and just look at how much progress I've made to assembling the whole thing.

Grogar glared once again.

Grogar: So, this is how low you've sunk? Relying on old failed projects just to get a rise out of me?

(V/N):Well, it was enough to bring you back, wasn't it? Something you weren't physically capable of doing without your precious bewitching bell, all powerful "Father of Monsters."

He responded as Cozy Glow let out a low "Oooooh" in response to V/N's burn towards Grogar.

Grogar: Are you implying that I'm weak?

He asked with venom laced in his voice.

(V/N): Weak enough to not be able to revive yourself. With or without your bell.

This comment made Grogar snarl.

Grogar: You little runt! I'll teach you to not insult me!

His horns glowed and fired a blast of black and yellow colored magic at V/N who teleported away from it in the nick of time. Grogar's eyes widened before V/N appeared right next to him and punched the side of his face which sent the evil ram spiraling into a nearby wall with a loud crash. Grogar emerged from the smoke with another snarl as he started running towards V/N while aiming his horns at him in an attempt to ram into him. However, V/N put up a shield blocking Grogar from hitting him while he yawned with a bored look on his face.

(V/N): Is that the best you've got, old man? I'm disappointed.

Grogar: Grr! Even still, Shadowlight was far greater than you in both strength and intelligence.

(V/N): Maybe before...but times have changed.

V/N tapped his hoof as a black blur came out from behind the crowd of V/N's underlings and tackled Grogar, catching him off guard. Grogar recovered before looking up and a worried look overcame his features. The one that tackled him was revealed to be... Edge?! However, something about him was different. His eyes now had pupils that were colored a dark (F/C) indicating that V/N had him under mind control.

Grogar: S-Shadowlight?!

Shadowlight: ** Hail V/N.

Grogar stared at his former right hand man silently before turning back to V/N.

Grogar: What have you done to my lieutenant?!

(V/N): I made him better. He now serves someone who won't leave him for dead. ** No clue what Y/N did but, it definitely serves me well.

Shadowlight: ** All who stand in the way of V/N will be annihilated.

Grogar growled once again before he attempted to blast Shadowlight with his magic only for it to turn into a stream of bubbles much to his shock. He turned his eyes over at V/N and saw that he was using the Reality Stone.

(V/N): Shadowlight... destroy.

Shadowlight: ** Hail.

He leapt at Grogar and tackled him into another wall with another thunderous crash before Grogar pushed him off and rammed into him before jerking his head up and hurling Shadowlight through the air. Shadowlight recovered before flying down and blasted at Grogar who narrowly dodged the attacks while sending a few of his own blasts at his former right hand man. V/N then activated the Power Stone before jumping forwards and landed another punch at Grogar's head and a second to his body as well as several more to his body. Shadowlight came down to their level as both he and V/N started double teaming Grogar who's stamina was draining quickly.

Meanwhile, every other villain could only watch with horrified and shocked stares at everything that was happening in front of them.

Cozy Glow: ** R-Remind me never to get on his bad side.

She whispered to Tirek who nodded shakily.

Queen Chrysalis: He... he called him V/N. As in... the V/N? Much like with Grogar, I thought he was a mere legend.

King Sombra: No... he isn't.

Chrysalis looked over at Sombra to see him staring at V/N with squinted eyes.

King Sombra: Long ago, before I gained control of the Crystal Empire, he used to be an old rival of mine.

Queen Chrysalis: S-Seriously?!

Sombra nodded.

King Sombra: That is, until Shadowlight came along. We drifted apart from each other as he was too focused on being better than him. I had enough and eventually went and did my own thing by conquering the Crystal Empire.

Cozy Glow: So... you both clearly have some history on your hooves.

She pointed out as he gave her a nod.

Back with the fight, Grogar still held on despite suffering several punches to the face and body before he had enough and stomped the ground sending both adversaries flying away from him. They landed on the floor a few feet away from Grogar who was huffing and puffing while out of breath. He turned his head up and glared at the two of them.

Grogar: Fools! I am the Father of Monsters! Every creature that ever existed in Equestria came from me! And the same goes for the both of you!

(V/N): And yet here you are. Bruised and out of breath. Meanwhile, I've barely even broken a sweat. Who's the weak one now, "Father?"

Grogar: The only reason you barely broke a sweat is because you were using Shadowlight for most of it. Whether he's on your side or not, he's still more powerful than you ever were or ever will be. After all, you were made from a fraction of his power.

(V/N): Oh, you really believe he's that amazing? Tell me then. Who's the one that was smart enough to trick a band of gullible sailors into crashing into the nursery of the Sirens which caused a whole war between them and the entire Pony race which ended up killing almost the entire Siren race? Who's the one who made a name for himself after you had gone? Who's the one who struck fear into the hearts of many even after he had left? Because I'll tell you this, that was all me! Meanwhile, almost no one remembers you! You've pretty much faded from memory while I remained!

Grogar: Shadowlight had restraint, discipline, and above all, he had real power. You always slacked off, doing the bear minimum when it came to my orders and grew soft because of your family.

(V/N): You say that I'm the only one who betrayed you, but you seem to forget that Shadowlight had betrayed you as well for he didn't believe in your ideals either . So, I don't think you have any room to talk over me being the only one who backstabbed you.

Grogar coughed a few times before shakily standing back up.

Grogar: Regardless of the circumstances, you were still the worst creation I ever made! Something I should have killed the first chance I got! I'll tell you this though. You finally did something worthwhile by bringing me back. That way, I can finish what I started millenia ago!

(V/N): Shadowlight!

Shadowlight: ** Hail.

He nodded and tried to tackle Grogar again only to be knocked away by Grogar's horns.

Grogar: Quite a coward you are to have your underlings do all the fighting for you. They're the real threat if anything. You are nothing without them. That is yet another thing Shadowlight exceeds greater than you.

V/N stood for another moment until his aura began to leak from his body and his smirk changed into a rage filled scowl.

(V/N): You want me to fight one on one, old man? Very well then. I'll show you just how "weak" I am.

He prepared another blast of energy before sending it toward Grogar who countered it with his own which resulted in a power struggle between the two. For a moment, it seemed that they were evenly matched. That is, until Grogar started to overpower V/N's blast as he grinned with pride.

Grogar: I told you you were weak! You were set up for failure, V/N! You relied too much on power as your strength! Shadowlight used both power and numbers for strength! He was your successor!

V/N could only grunt as he tried to push back Grogar's blast but couldn't as his beam drew closer by the second.

Grogar: You deserved to have every bad thing that ever happened to you happen! Even... losing your family.

V/N's eyes widened before he started to hear the crying voices of his family in his head. Suddenly, flashes of seeing them pinned underneath a burning support beam as well as the roof caving in and crushing them. In that moment... something in V/N just snapped. The first noticeable change was his eyes. Instead of being slitted, they were now a deep (F/C) color. His aura had tripled in size before it started traveling up V/N's beam. Grogar raised an eyebrow in curiosity over seeing what was going on with his adversary. Then, with a loud scream, V/N poured even more power into his blast and it started overtaking Grogar's blast. The evil ram couldn't believe what was going on. His former soldier. The one he deemed as the most worthless of the bunch, was somehow overpowering him. In that moment, something coursed through Grogar. That... being fear. How was this possible? How could he be afraid of the thing he deemed as the most unworthy? A look of shock and fear was plastered on Grogar's face as V/N's blast pushed back against his own more and more.

He tried to push back V/N's blast, but to no avail. Suddenly, he heard something cracking as he looked up and saw something that only made his fear skyrocket. His own horns had huge cracks forming all around them, indicating that they were going to be destroyed from the sheer amount of power they were using. Little by little, Grogar's confidence faded before disappearing completely when his horns exploded into pieces and sent him flying backwards and skidding on the floor and coming to a stop. Sombra, Chrysalis, Cozy Glow, and Tirek stared with widened eyes and slacked jaws at seeing the father of monsters himself defeated before their very own eyes. Slowly, they swiveled their heads and gazed at V/N who still maintained his newly acquired form while slowly breathing heavily.

Queen Chrysalis: ** D-Did... Did I... see...what I saw just now?

Cozy Glow: ** I... I think you did. I did too.

King Sombra: ** I-Impossible...

Meanwhile, Demon Shimmer, Midnight Sparkle, Gaea Everfree, and Juniper Monstar were grinning.

Demon Shimmer: Well... that's our lord for you.
