Zelgius stood there at the table along with the main six, Shining Armor and the Princesse's as they stared down at the map of Equestria. They knew the plan but the problem was who would they try first? Zelgius stared down at the map with narrowed eyes as the others talked around him.

"There is no way the griffons will help! They much rather watch us die."

"Their king may be a stubborn old geezer, but even he knows when help is needed."

'Griffons huh? I wonder if their history rememberers me.' Zelgius thought in worry as he sighed.

Glancing over he saw the ponies generals arguing while Shining Armor was trying for them to be quiet which only served for them increase in volume. Zelgius glanced back down at the map and happened to see the area called the badlands. The direction where the changelings were blown away. Zelgius glanced at it more and more then finally made his choice. "I have a suggestion!" Zelgius shouted causing all chatter to stop and look at him.

"Zelgius?" Shining Armor asked while Zelgius sighed already knowing all the ponies were going to hate this idea.

"We are going to head here." Zelgius spoke while pointing down at the spot causing everypony to look at him in confusion.

"The badlands? Why?"

"This was where the changeling horde was sent."

"ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND!?" Shining Armor yelled with all the ponies agreeing with him.

"We are going to need their help if we are to drive back this darkness." Was Zelgius comeback.

"They would not help us. Especially since you single handily helped drove them out. I honestly think they would rather have your head on a pike." Celestia spoke up from the side causing Zelgius to glance at her.

"My sister is right Sir Zelgius. Even if we agreed to talk. What if they just want your head?"

Zelgius was silent for a few minutes then slowly turned his attention back to the map making everypony think they changed his mind. "Tell me something," Zelgius spoke up causing everypony to stare at him as he turned around to face them. "What does a monster fear?"

"Duh! A heroic hero who was sent to slay it."

"Take away the hero and what does it fear?"

The ponies all glanced around at each other. None of them seemed to know where this was going.

“The only thing a monster fears is a bigger monster,” Zelgius spoke causing the ponies to glance at him with realization. Zelgius pointed up towards the sky with a finger. "That thing 'is' the bigger monster. There is also another saying as well."

"What would that be?" One of the guard generals asked.

"The enemy of my enemy.......is my friend. Chrysalis may hate ponies........and me. Once she discovers that thing is a more dangerous threat then she will help us."

All around the table there were small murmurs amongst them. Zelgius glanced at them each slowly. His eyes landed on Shining Armor who simply stared at him with a neutral expression on his face before sighing as he walked over towards Zelgius.The tow stared at each other with neither backing down from the other's stare. "I don't like it. The princesses don't like it. You can definitely bet that the ponies won't like it. However, that thing needs to be stopped. I'm in." Shining spoke.

"That's all I'm asking."

"You playing a dangerous game Zelgius." Celestia spoke.

"Game!? What game!? How come I wasn't told!? I wanted to play!" Everypony ignored Pinkie yelling.

"Even if we  go. How will we find them?"

Zelgius smirked at her question causing everypony to become nervous at his smirk. Zelgius simply turned and walked out of the tent with most of the ponies walking after him. "Zelgius how are we going to find them? Zelgius?"

"We don't."

"You just said to find-"

"We don't find them." Zeligus turned to face all the ponies still with a smirk and his next words caused them to become full of dread. "They find us."
