Queen Chrysalis was grateful to be in the service of Emperor Grogar. By being recruited she felt like she had been given yet another chance at getting her revenge on Starlight Glimmer for her previous defeat. Still, the offer that she had made to Grogar was something that was great importance to her. Almost immediately, Chrysalis began sending messages to the Changelings still loyal to her to come to Tambeleon.

"It's good to see you all again," she laughed as her minions were gathered in one of the kingdom's many courtrooms. "I trust you all have been wondering why we are here and not in the Changeling Kingdom."

"Because Thorax overthrew you?" remarked a loyalist, much to Chrysalis's irritation.

"That traitor destroyed everything we have ever worked for! Now is the time to get back everything we have lost! But we can't do it alone. Emperor Grogar has given us a second chance and we must make the best of it."

Glowing her horn green, Chrysalis let out another growl of frustration. She knew in her mind that there was a loyal servant of hers that needed to be at her side.

"But, what I do need is a loyal general to supervise you all," she continued. "Emperor Grogar has the power to bring creatures back from the dead and there is one servant of mine who can lead you all to victory!"

Using whatever magic she had inside of her, Chrysalis produced a picture of her most loyal servant.

"General Kuwaga?" cried a Changeling, his voice and facial expressions filled with shock. "But, we all thought that he…"

"…killed himself before he can be executed?" laughed Chrysalis. "Yes, he did! However, he can be brought back just as easily. But, in the meantime…"

Placing her loyal general's picture on the wall, Chrysalis then proceeded to take a jar of grog and pass it around her followers.

"Drink and pass, my minions!" she cried as she watched them drink. "Drink and swear that you will fight for all who look to conqueror Equestria! Drink and pass, it's as hot as Lord Satan's hoof!"

Taking the measure in her aura, Chrysalis looked in to see how much had been consumed.

"Well done, almost drained," she laughed to herself. "You have dedicated your lives to the fall of Equestria once again! Now, follow me to meet your new comrades!"

Leading her loyal swarm out of the courtroom, Chrysalis lead her forces towards a platoon of donkey soldiers who were undergoing training under the supervision of Corvius Glave and Proxima Midnight.

"These are the creatures we will be fighting alongside with?" whispered a loyal changeling, out of Chrysalis' hearing. "They look like jackasses!"

"Are these the minions we will be working with?" asked Proxima Midnight, pointing her sword at Chrysalis's small army. "Be forewarned that from this moment forth, you will serve Emperor Grogar in addition to your Queen, understand?"

The Changelings nodded and murmured in agreement to this demand as Chrysalis watched them get to know their donkey comrades. With the measure still in her grasp, Chrysalis made her way up to Grogar's throne room and looked down inside his black cauldron. However, Chrysalis wasn't to be alone for very long as the sounds of hoofbeats were heard from behind her.

"What are you looking at?" asked Emperor Grogar, catching Chrysalis off guard slightly.

"My emperor," she gasped. "I…I've come to make a request of you."

"Indeed," murmured Grogar, a smile coming onto his face. "What is it you wish to ask of me, Chrysalis?"

"There is a loyal servant of mine whom I wish to be returned to me," Chrysalis explained, only to be silenced by Grogar.

"What is his name?"

"His name is General Kuwaga. He tried to avenge my defeat in Canterlot, but ultimately killed himself."

"With help from Shining Armor's mentor," remarked Grogar, much to Chrysalis's shock and amazement. "That loose cannon, Lock Down."

Chrysalis was amazed to be hearing what was coming out of her new savior's mouth.

"How do you know about him?"

"I know all that has been happening in the years since I was imprisoned," replied Grogar. "After all, I can always use another general in my ranks."

Stamping his front left hoof, two donkey soldiers brought forth the dead body of a donkey and tossed it into the cauldron. Swinging his bell back and forth while chanting an incantation, Grogar called for the spirits to do the unthinkable. With a loud roar, a pair of holed black legs came out from the cauldron and a scar faced male changeling climbed out of the cauldron, much to Chrysalis's delight.

"General Kuwaga," cried Chrysalis. "You have come back to me after so long."

"I swear myself to you and you only, my queen," he replied as Grogar cleared his throat.

"You also swear your alliegance to me, Changeling," he interjected, getting Kuwaga's attention. "Emperor Grogar of Tambeleon!"

Bowing to him, Kuwaga swore his loyalty to Grogar, but keeping most of it reserved for Chrysalis herself.

"Are you the one who brought me back from the dead?"

"I am. For you see, General Kuwaga, I could use a high ranking general like you in my ranks."

"What about Shining Armor?"

"All in due time, my friend," chuckled Grogar. "Hungry for revenge, aren't you? Well, I love minions who are dedicated to the rise of Tambeleon."

"And you can swear your loyalty to me as well, my servant," added Chrysalis, holding the measure of grog in her aura, passing it over for Kuwaga to drink. "I know you enjoy drinking the measure."

Taking the measure in his hooves, Kuwaga drank every single drop of grog that was inside of it. Once it was emptied, he turned to Chrysalis and threw the measure on the floor, letting out a loud laugh.

"Welcome to the Rise of Tambeleon!" cried Grogar as he let out a loud laugh along with Chrysalis.

…

Meanwhile, back in Canterlot, Natasha, Lyra and Sweetie Drops were showing Celestia and Luna spell recordings of Tirek and Cozy Glow escaping from their prisons in Tartarus.

"So, you see," explained Lyra. "None of the guards were aware nor knew that they were planning to escape."

"Either way, this is a matter which is considered very dangerous," advised Luna to Celestia. "Has S.M.I.L.E. been notified?"

"Not yet, Luna," replied Celestia. "Nevertheless, we have to continue preparing for an inevitable strike on our kingdom."

At that moment, a messenger pony came into the throne room handing a scroll for Celestia and Luna to read.

"What does it say?" asked Sweetie Drops as Celestia let out a sharp gasp of shock and surprise. "What's wrong?"

"It says here that Chrysalis was spotted on Mount Aris, but managed to avoid capture," replied Celestia.

"What's more," added Luna. "Is that Queen Novo and the Hippogriffs are preparing to also fight as well. But, that doesn't make any sense. Why would Queen Novo want her kingdom to help fight?"

At that moment, a hushed and tense silence fell on the two sisters upon realizing what was happening.

"He wouldn't," gasped Celestia.

"He will," gasped Luna, looking back Celestia.

"What's going on?" asked Natasha.

"If Grogar has the power to bring back the dead," remarked Celestia, her voice filled with fear. "Then he can bring back the Storm King from the dead."

Realizing that something needed to be done, she immediately reached for a scroll and a quill, writing down a message on it.

"Sister, what are you doing?"

"I'm writing a message to Tempest Shadow," answered Celestia firmly. "She's going to want to know about this."
