Having escaped from being captured, Proxima Midnight returned to Tambeleon and with Chrysalis in tow made her way into Grogar's throne room where he and Ebony Maw eagerly awaited the arrival of his latest recruit.

"My emperor," said Proxima Midnight, bowing towards him. "I have brought Queen Chrysalis of the Changelings to you and…"

"I can see that, Proxima," he interrupted, rising to his feet and walking down towards Chrysalis. "I am Emperor Grogar, Queen Chrysalis, supreme ruler of this kingdom of Tambeleon. It is a supreme honor to finally meet you."

Chrysalis couldn't help but feel somewhat flattered by this remark.

"Ah, you must have heard of me, I suppose," she chuckled. "Perhaps you also understand of whom I am trying to get back at, aren't you?"

"Starlight Glimmer?"

"How did you know?"

"Just because I was banished with my kingdom doesn't mean I can watch everything that transpires in Equestria."

Grogar proceeded to make his way over to his viewing globe and managed to produce the two moments that Chrysalis swore vengeance against Starlight Glimmer.

…

"There is no revenge you could ever conceive of that will come close to what I will exact upon you one day, Starlight Glimmer!"

…

"Servants always fail you in the end! Just wait, Starlight. I will have my revenge!"

…

"So, I take you have it in for this one pony?" remarked Grogar, turning off the viewing globe. "Well, I also know that you want to basically pick up where you left off after Twilight Sparkle ruined your invasion of Canterlot."

Chrysalis snarled upon hearing this for it was also Twilight that ruined her invasion of Canterlot during Cadence and Shining Armor's wedding.

"And I would have succeeded if it had it not been for Twilight," retorted Chrysalis, turning her back away from Grogar slightly and pacing back and forth across the throne room. "Twilight ruined my plans to conquer Canterlot and so, I tried again, taking not just her, but also all of the most powerful ponies in Equestria. But, if there is one pony I want revenge on the most…it's Starlight Glimmer."

"Believe me, if there is one thing I understand," sympathized Grogar, wrapping his right foreleg around Chrysalis' neck. "Is that we want nothing more than to make them bow down to us. Join me, Chrysalis, and I can assure you that the pony you call Starlight Glimmer will suffer your wrath."

"Starlight Glimmer? Oh, puh-lease," called a voice that belonged to Cozy Glow as she floated into the throne room. "She was easy to manipulate and was just as gullible and…are you Queen Chrysalis?"

The Queen of the Changelings looked down at the Pegasus filly with a raised eyebrow.

"Why do you ask?" she muttered in a low voice. "And why do I not detect any love inside of you?"

Opening her mouth, Chrysalis attempted to feed off of whatever love Cozy Glow had, but she was unable to find anything.

"Because I never had any love for anypony or anycreature."

…

Just then, Grogar stamped his foot down and motioned for Ebony Maw to bring him a small chest that sat next to the chaos gauntlet. Opening the chest, Chrysalis felt her eyes widen and couldn't believe what she was seeing before her.

"Where did you get those?" she gasped, looking down to see six pieces of wood that were colored like Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

"One of my spying platoons recovered them from the spot where the tree of harmony is located," explained Grogar. "Of course, they couldn't obtain the elements for me because they would be too stupid to understand that the tree of harmony can defend itself, something that you experienced firsthand, I understand."

"Well…well…I…" stammered Chrysalis. "But, how…?"

"Oh, don't be so dumbstruck by this news that I recovered the bodies of your clones of Princess Twilight and her friends," remarked Grogar, taking the chest and placing it back next to the chaos gauntlet. "If you join my ranks, Chrysalis, I can assure you that I can show you how to properly dispose of the ponies you so despise."

Realizing that she had no other alternative, Chrysalis was left with no other choice. She needed to join forces with Grogar if there was any hope of defeating those she hated once and for all.

"Wait!" she cried, once again getting Grogar's attention. "If I'm going to help you, then you must also honor a request that I wish for you to make."

"Oh, what is that?"

"Not all of the Changelings remained in the Changeling Kingdom after Thorax overthrew me," explained Chrysalis. "They are out there and probably don't even know that I am still alive. Give me time to find them and bring them here to me."

A small smile came to Grogar's face upon hearing this.

"That won't be necessary, Chrysalis," he remarked. "For I have ways of finding creatures of pure evil to join my ranks. My donkey soldiers will find them for you and furthermore, I need you here within the confines of my kingdom."

"Why?" asked Chrysalis, indignantly. "You aren't going to hold me prisoner, aren't you?"

"Certainly not, Chrysalis. I just need you here to build up your strength as well to get to know your fellow comrades aside from Cozy Glow here."

"Hey!" snapped the Pegasus filly. "I resent that!"

"For you see," continued Grogar. "When I returned from my 1,000 year imprisonment, the first thing I did was declare war on Equestria for I have a goal that I need you to help me achieve."

He then placed his hoof on the glass container surrounding the chaos gauntlet.

"Tambeleon needs a population and I want nothing more than to have subjects to rule over. But, in order to do that, I need to power this weapon."

"And how do you power it?"

"There are only two sources that can power the chaos gauntlet, Chrysalis: the six elements of harmony and the magic of the four alicorn princesses. I need you to help me obtain them by any means necessary."

Chrysalis gulped nervously, but knew that this was something that needed to be done in order for her to get the revenge she so desired.

…

Meanwhile, in Tartarus, Natasha, Lyra and Sweetie Drops were reviewing video of Tirek and Cozy Glow escaping from their cells.

"It just doesn't seem possible for Tirek to magically obtain his draining powers back," remarked Sweetie Drops. "It was made very clear that Tirek's ability was taking away when he was re-imprisoned."

"Well, he got them back somehow," replied Lyra. "Do you think that Grogar might have something to do with this?"

"It could be," said Lock Up. "Either way, if Grogar could just randomly give Tirek his powers back after the princesses took them, then we are dealing with the worst of the worst."

"And who knows exactly where he will go next?" wondered Natasha. "Fury Swipes is going to want to know more about this. Can we bring the video to them?"

Without hestitation, Lock Up removed the spell and gave it to Lyra.

"Yes," answered Lock Up, nervously. "This video will prove that we were underestimated by Tirek in the eyes of the Princesses."

With the video spell in their grasp, Natasha and the two mares left to prove that Tartarus was just as dumbstruck by Tirek and Cozy Glow's escape.
