Using the powers of his bell, Emperor Grogar once found himself in the depths of hell determined to find the servants who once served Chrysalis. Walking past the prisoners caged for eternity, he once again found himself at the throne of Lord Satan himself. The cloaked figure rose from his throne and stepped down to embrace the goat.

"As I believe my eyes," he remarked. "Why have you come back?"

"Lord Satan," replied Grogar. "I have returned to ask you for an audience with the souls of six servants of Queen Chrysalis."

"Hmm, indeed. So, you seek an audience with them, Emperor Grogar. I must advise you that they have been the most defiant of my prisoners."

But Grogar was determined to meet them.

"Show me."

"Very well."

Following Satan, Grogar smiled evilly knowing that he would soon be meeting with carbon copies of the Princess of Friendship and her friends. Little did he know that as they walked through the halls, a cloaked figure watched him closely.

…

Soon, they arrived at a section of hell that was reserved for the worst of the worse, even worse than any of the villains Grogar was working with. In a group of six cells were dark colored ponies that gazed grimily at Grogar.

"What do you want?" asked the evil twin of Twilight Sparkle. "Leave us alone!"

But, the evil Twilight was met with a blast of dark magic from the tip of Satan's skeletal finger that nearly struck her.

"Hey," grumbled the evil Pinkie Pie from inside her cell. "Why don't you lay off you cloaked clown?"

"HOW DARE YOU!" shouted Satan, glaring at the evil party pony. "You will all show me and our honored guest some respect!"

"Whatever," muttered the evil Rainbow Dash.

Ignoring the ignorance that these evil ponies were showing him, Grogar decided to talk to them anyway.

"I am Grogar, emperor of Tambeleon and I have expressed interest in having you join my services."

"Why do you ask us to join?" asked the evil Applejack. "Heh, it's not like we're going to serve somepony like you."

"For one thing," continued Grogar. "I understand that you seek the elements of harmony for your own personal gain. Well, I too, seek them and if you serve me, I promise to share you their power just as equally."

"NO! YOU CAN'T HAVE THEM!" shouted the evil Rarity, clutching the bars of her cell. "THEY WILL BE MINE! ALL MINE!"

Catching her attention, Grogar went to stare her down.

"No," he whispered to her before turning to the other ponies. "You will share their powers with me and your fellow ponies. And furthermore, you will be working alongside your creator, Queen Chrysalis."

"What?!" the mean 6 cried out.

"Yes," replied Grogar. "If I bring you back to Equestria, you will obey me and me alone! You will do tasks that I will ask you to do and if you disobey me, you will find yourselves back here."

"I'd much rather be here," remarked the evil Applejack, clearly lying to Grogar. Nevertheless, Grogar was going to enlist their services one way or another.

"You will all obey me," commanded Grogar. "Because as of now, you all serve me!"

And Grogar chanted his incantation, engulfing the mean six in his spell causing their ghostly spirits to disappear.

"Hey, let us go!" protested the evil Pinkie Pie, but it was too late. With a flash of light, Satan found himself starring into six empty cells. In a way, he was glad to be rid of these six evil spirits.

…

Watching from a safe distance, the cloaked figure took in what he saw and hastily departed in a white flash.

"What was that?" cried Satan, turning around sharply and taking notice of the bright flash of light. "Who is there?"

But Satan didn't get a response. The silence of hell quickly returned, but one of the prisoners knew exactly who it was.

"You, Asgardian!" he cried, directing his attention to the imprisoned Loki. "Who was here?"

"No one," stammered Loki, much to Satan's confusion. "I swear to you…no one."

…

Back in Tambeleon, Grogar and the Mean 6 found themselves back in Grogar's throne room where all of the villains were waiting.

"I told you that I wouldn't be long," he said, but Chrysalis could only snarl at the presence of the six evil ponies she created. "I'd like to introduce you to the clones of the element bearers."

"How dare you show yourselves in my presence again?" Chrysalis snapped, stamping her front left hoof down hard. "You made a grave mistake bringing them back, Emperor Grogar!"

"I agree with her majesty," remarked the evil Rainbow Dash. "What good are we to you? If you want to obtain the elements, why come to us?"

"Because you corrupted the tree of harmony," replied Grogar. "And with the tree corrupted, you will…"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute," interrupted Cozy Glow. "How could the tree of harmony be corrupted? It defeated me and allowed me to be imprisoned with Tirek here."

It was at that moment that Chrysalis came forward, sighing in irritation.

"Because I wanted the elements to rebuild my position as queen," she answered. "You six must have corrupted them simply by being near the tree."

Hearing this brought a smile to Grogar's face. Chuckling, he could only show nothing but gratitude to Chrysalis for her unintentional acts.

"In that case," he laughed, approaching Chrysalis and stroking her chin. "I thank you for actions, Chrysalis. You have been helpful in weakening the tree and allowing the elements to easily be targeted. But, you shall not be there when I obtain them."

"What?" Chrysalis asked, feeling somewhat shocked. "I created these fools, so I should…"

"You shall remain with your fellow villains and focus on attacking Canterlot," interrupted Grogar. "I realize now that rather than dividing and conquering, we attack Equestria right at its heart taking them and their allies with us. Now, we move on to the next phase of the plan."

"What is that?" asked the Storm King, clearly unhappy that he wouldn't be attacking Mount Aris after all. "Come on, goat! Spill the beans!"

Grogar merely growled at the Storm King upon hearing this remark.

"If your premediated attack on the Crystal Empire was any indication, Sombra," replied Grogar, looking over at him. "The princesses will take what they have learned and use it to defend themselves against a large-scale attack. But that doesn't excuse you from going behind my back."

"So, what do we do now?" asked the Storm King again.

"We wait to see if they do just that," answered Grogar, much to the Storm King's impatience.

"Come on! I'm tired of sitting around and waiting!" protested the Storm King.

"Perhaps you'll find yourself time to build your forces," suggested Grogar, which caused the Storm King to let out a sharp groan of frustration. "That goes for all of you as well."

Having said those words, Grogar reached for the chaos gauntlet, putting it on his left front leg and letting out an evil chuckle.

"Besides, I'm willing to wait as long as I can to get what I want."

And with that, the waiting game had started for both sides…
