Demons don't usually die, it just takes a long time for them to reconstitute when they're destroyed, and considering how many dragons there are around it could be conceivable that they're his creations.
Of course, there's evidence that Tirac might still be kicking around as is. Move over Twilight because he wants your assistant, after all, he was his slave first (hey, he's a guy out of time, how's he to know it's not the same dragon?). Move over Luna, because someones after your job and he puts Nightmare Moon to shame in terms of scary looks, and he's not afraid to hurt things to get eternal night. So move over Discord, because the dead are about to rise and there's a new chimera in town. Even if villains of the past were his rivals, if he's bringing them back, he could quite probably bring them under his control or resever their connection to the world of the living with little difficulty, or just deal with them once the major threats (the ponies) are done with.
The most logical thing for Grogar to do would be to stack the odds even more against the ponies, and what's the most common thing for a necromancer to do? Revive dead things. The ponies of old only ever faced one foe at a time, so they always won. On top of that, there's new ponies, new races, new gods. What's Grogars next move? An all powerful necromancer won't just return the Smooze, it was beaten before, it could be beaten again. If they're wrong however, they would have irrevocably broken the Elements to try and get it. After all, the Element of Magic is usually the focal point for the others and it was the only one that resided on another plane of existence until called into being. With three ponies out of commision, the more sensible story twist would be that the Rainbow resides inside the Element of Magics gem. Now, the real questions are: What happened to the Rainbow of Light? Considering it's powers, it's been argued that it became the power source for the Elements of Harmony, which means they could conceivably follow a power trail from the Elements to it's residing place, but they'd need to activate the Elements to do so. The changelings are commonly thought to reside in the badlands. After all, the Smooze started in a volcano in the badlands. Over in the badlands, the common fanon that changelings are Flutter ponies that were Discorded something shocking means that everyone is screwed. After all, only about ten or so years can have passed on Earth, they've still gotta be around if AJ is. She'll then wonder where all the other ponies she knew are. Preferably with a 'silly pony' reference that makes AJ really angry. Initial reaction: denial that Dash is even real.Īfter much convincing and persuading: giving in and following her delusions, reasoning that she'll never escape them (Dash might try to leave, but she'll end up deciding that the Princess must know what she's doing and will follow orders).Īfter arriving: assuming that when looking at them the ponies of today look like the ponies of old, she'll be wondering why Applejack didn't just get the Flutter ponies to stop the smooze. That last bit of her scene makes me think the Smooze decided it would be better to smother her inside it, and even Pinkie can only go so long without air.įorgetting Ponyville for a sec, let's look at what's gonna happen with Megan.
Pinkie got a full body dose at least four times and pissed it off. Whether the Smooze is some sort of dark magic, a parasite or some sort of non-lethal sentient lava, all the ponies only got a dose to a portion of them and they got despaired. Also, Pinkie is my favourite, and I don't want to say this, but she's gotta be dead. Man, I never watched it until G4, but G1 really did have some kickass villains in it.Īll those ponies hit with the despair, I know you said you don't do Grimdark, just Dark, but when they don't even have the will to breathe, with nopony taking care of them, they won't survive long.
