It's Cozy Glow's birthday! While her mother, Chrysalis, gets her ready, her father, Tirek, and uncle, Sombra, prepare the party.

What a great day it would be for the villains!

This story is a sequel to Flurry Heart's Story: Elements Assemble!

Tirek, Cozy Glow and Chrysalis wake up to find that their stone statue has been broken and they have been set free. After narrowly escaping the Canterlot guards, they discover they have been asleep for over eight years and immediately start plotting revenge. While Chrysalis desires to rebuild her changeling army, Tirek is tired of Equestria and just wants to return to the Midnight Kingdom to confront Scorpan. Cozy is still angered with Discord, Celestia, and Luna and desires something else very personal. After a long argument, all three of them agree they can no longer continue their alliance and part ways.

This story takes place during the events of my earlier fanfiction "Elements Assemble" and is part of my series called Flurry Heart's Story.

At the request of the three villains he is holding captive in Grogar's old lair, Discord is forced to make a trip to the fast food giant that is McDonald’s. But he finds it difficult to look after Cozy Glow, who tags along, while also meeting up with Fluttershy for something. This day will either end in a blown secret, a breakup, or a war.

All over three little Happy Meals.

It's one thing to come back to Equestria after a long time. It's another thing entirely when your brother's been turned to stone.

That's what Scorpan will go through, returning to Equestria one month after Twilight's coronation. He heard the stories of what happened to Tirek, and he has to find out for himself if they're true. When he sees it with his own eyes, he has no choice but to ask himself a lot of questions...and none of them might have an easy answer.

Released from Tartarus, Cozy Glow now spends her days doing community service to make up for her past crimes. However, in your troubles, she discovered something...something that may reveal a fate worse than even Hell itself...bad writing. Could this really be the ending of the end? Or is it just the beginning of the ending of the ending of the end?

Prompt: Cozy's got a secret!

This story is a sequel to The Ending of the Beginning

The moments of our lives are fickle things. We never really know what moments we'll remember years down the road, and we surely have no idea how significant some moments can be until they're already long past.

For three former villains, a great number of moments occurred between their fateful meeting with the former Princesses of Equestria and their ultimate revenge on two callous ponies from Manehatten. Some moments were tiny, still others enormous, but there was one thing they all had in common; for this odd little family, they meant the world.

Step back and peer through the window at these moments, these scenes, in the lives of three creatures who united to destroy, but were bonded together forever by love.

A collection of small scenes in the lives of Tirek, Chrysalis, and Cozy Glow between the events of the first and second chapters of 'the Ending of the Beginning.' They'll be written in no particular order, and put in order once all the scenes are completed.

I wasn't the most consistent fan of My Little Pony, in all honesty. In fact that show wasn't the only thing on my list of interests. For a long while I had left those colorful ponies in the dust. I practically missed seasons 7-8 because I had gotten bored. However... it was the last season that drew me back in. I guess I now know a bit about the show, but not everything. I definitely knew of Cozy Glow however. She was hated by everyone. Well, except me. For some reason I liked her as the mischievous little filly she was. Her character interested me and I wanted to learn more. I wanted to see what kind of history she had. Why did she decide to turn evil? She was probably the only reason I went back to previous seasons.

You could guess how disappointed I was when the finale came up. Instead of helping her, they turned her to stone. Instead of trying to figure out the issue, they left her behind to be forgotten. Everyone cheered and laughed while Cozy, Chrysalis, and Tirek were turned into statues for the rest of eternity. I was displeased. Afterwards I drifted away and instead tried to focus on my work. I had to, after all. I was becoming an adult. I was growing up. Though the stress might pile up on me, I had to keep going. I had to get things done...

I could keep going... couldn't I?

It seems however that the universe had decided to drag me back into a world of rainbows and magic. Imagine my surprise when I suddenly woke up the next day inside a cage in the deepest, darkest chambers of Tartarus. Not only that but also as the small pink bundle of feathers that everyone loathed and despised. A billion questions rang through my head but the most prominent ones of all continuously pounded against my skull: What in the holy hell do I do from here?
And how do I stop what comes next?

(This is my first story any feedback would be appreciated)

Twice. That's how many times Tirek has tried. Twice. On two occasions he fought in what he believed and twice he has been put back in an eternal prison.

Not long after Tirek loses and is sent back to Tartarus, the centaur is visited by someone. And the two decide to have a discussion, where Tirek reflects on his abhorrence of the Equestrians.

Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow are free from their prison of stone! But now Cozy Glow is British and insist on being called The Doctor or Mr. Clever. Cozy Glow has also become Chrysalis's log and is now an odd looking changeling. Even worse, Cyberman have made Cyberponies. Daleks have arrived. And it's up to the greatest villains of Equestia to defeat the greatest villains from the stars. While running from the cops. Oh, and there's two Cozy Glows.
