Inside Grogar's Lair, a certain filly was looking for a certain New Guy.

Inside Grogar's Lair...

"Nighdrak!" Cozy Glow had been looking for Nighdrak for almost 4 hours, and she found no sign of him inside the lair.

"Nighdrak! Nighdrak!" Cozy kept calling.

Chrysalis was plugging her as hard as she could muster, trying to silence out Cozy's unbearable calling for the hybrid. Tirek simply put cotton balls in his ears to cancel out the noise. Grogar had gone away to find a new source of power to help him and his minions defeat Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

"Nighdrak! Ugh, where could that hybrid be? Nighdrak!" While Cozy was busy looking for Nighdrak inside the lair, she didn't have the slightest clue that he was more than outside of the lair.

Canterlot Caves...

Inside the abandoned Canterlot Caves, a certain hybrid had been gathering the crystals on the walls.

Nighdrak had been gathering crystals for the 4 hours that Cozy Glow had been looking for him, and he was almost complete with the amount he needed to create something.

When pulled out the last crystal shard and teleported it in a pocket dimension, he then teleported to a certain place for a certain item. Once he teleported to said place, he found a chest, peeked inside of it, and then he teleported back to the Grogar's Lair.

Grogar's Lair...

Cozy Glow had been sitting in a chair of the sitting room with her head and front hooves on the table, utterly bored of what to do, and curious of where Nighdrak had gone.

And then, as if on cue, the little filly heard a haunting fire noise outside the lair. She quickly fluttered out of the chamber to see Nighdrak coming in. She flew right up to him in irritation.

"Where were you!? I've looking for you for over 4 hours!" She almost shouted.

"We have been scavenging for materials," Nighdrak simply answered in his usual neutral and blank tone through the mind. "Would you please guide us to your chamber?"

"Oh, sure," Cozy answered more calmly and gently, the hybrid grabbed her tail, and the two started off to Cozy's room. Ever since Nighdrak had talked to Cozy about her pain of being an orphan and showing her his best signs of empathy for it, Cozy had been more truthfully sincere and gentle in her tone with the hybrid.

The self proclamations that Nighdrak had been speaking lately were because of an alternate personality inside of him. He discussed it with the trio, and Grogar already knows about it.

Once the two had reached Cozy's room, Nighdrak released Cozy's tail and walked over to a table he had created with his devoid. He made a very large amount of the canterlot cave crystals appear on the table, along with ancient darkstone shards from Chrysalis' throne, and the chest that he had grabbed from a certain place.

He opened the chest and pulled out the item inside. It was the Alicorn Amulet!

"W-Wait a minute, where did you get that!?" Cozy exclaimed in shock and amazement.

"We have our ways of retrieving some needed materials," Nighdrak answered. Then he put the amulet in the middle of an ancient darkstone stand in mid-air, then he magically put the crystals together in a sphere shape around the amulet. Then he snapped his claws, and all the materials transformed into an orb on a small stand.

The orb was exactly like Grogar's, except the light was blood-red, and it had a snake's pupil inside of it.

"Woah... you gathered all that to make a ball just like Grogar's?" Cozy asked.

"Indeed. Grogar will not be the only one who can see everything now. But our orbs do not foretell the future," Nighdrak pointed out.

"Oh, right." Cozy tapped her hooves together softly, curious on what Nighdrak's new orb was supposed to be for. "So... Grogar uses his little ball to look at what's happening in Equestria, and what has happened in Equestria. What are you going to use your little ball for?"

"We shall use it for the same purpose. However, Grogar also uses his orb to locate specific sources of power we will need to defeat Twilight Sparkle and her friends. We shall use our own orb to locate another source as well, despite having Grogar's Bewitching Bell in our possession," Nighdrak answers.

"Okay, but how are you going to use the orb if you can't see anything but blackness and other ponies' hearts?"

"Tis' simple, we shall touch the orb, and it shall transmit what others see, into our mind."

"Oh, right. Pfft! I knew that," Cozy said jokingly.

"Indeed." And with that, Nighdrak set his claws on the orb, and the orb glowed white.

Then, the orb started showing this strange shape of a a creature that seemed to loom over the entire world of Equestria and her sister moon. The shape opened its mouth to reveal its sharp-toothed jaws, closed in on the planet and moon, and then everything went black.

Nighdrak released the orb and simply stood there.

"What was that thing that ate Equestria and the Moon?" Asked Cozy.

Nighdrak simply turned to Cozy's heart. "It is something that only my darker personality would care about. But we know better than to trifle with such a creature," Nighdrak simply answered. Then he walked over to Cozy's bed that Nighdrak made for her with his devoid, and climbed on the wall above it, and hung upside-down by his feet on a rod that was carried by a strong chain from the ceiling.

Cozy walked up to the upside-down hybrid. "So... what's the creature called?" She asked curiously.

"You would simply whimper at its name. Every single filly in this world knows of it, and they would rather die by other villains than a creature such as this," Nighdrak explained.

"Pfft! What could be scarier than Chrysalis?"

"I do admit that I can be scary myself at times."

"That's a good point, and if I didn't know any better... I'd say that even Grogar was a little concerned about you," Cozy said quietly.

"Seemingly. It would appear that all of my personalities are both a blessing and a curse in anypony and anyone's presence."

"Aww, don't worry, Nighdrak. You're not so bad when you're you," Cozy said sweetly.

"Being 'me' is when you would all be in danger, hiding from me, trying to escape my heightened sense of smell and motion sensory, and trying to contain me when I'm out of control."

"Oh, sorry," Cozy said sympathetically.

"Do not be," Nighdrak said as he stroked Cozy's mane. Cozy really took a liking to Nighdrak's touch. It felt so soft and gentle on her fur and skin.

Do it. She's a deceiver, and she deserves it. Do it.

No.

Why not? We could've stolen Luna's magic before she did, I'd say she took that chance from you, and she should be gone for it.

The chance is still there, we just have to find the right opportunity.

And when is that?

When you are free.

That's like saying 'not anytime soon' to a baby asking for mother's milk.

Is that a reference to our past?

I suppose so.

"Well, I gotta go. Chrysalis, Tirek and I are gonna try to figure out how to get Grogar's bell working. I hope you enjoy finding a way to get revenge on Luna and Celestia," Cozy said before she exited the room.

The same flash of darkening blight sparkled across Nighdrak's eyes.

"Indeed..." Said Nighdrak's second personality, laughing sinisterly. Then he disappeared to go search for something of use against Twilight Sparkle and her friends.

Hey everyone! Here's the first chapter! Sorry it took so long, but it's finally here! I hope you all enjoy this sequel to 'An Ally of Blight'!
