Also this story is NOT CANON to that story and will not follow the story of any of the stories in CarttonNerd's amazing series (Other then Midnight Dance of course) Did I mention that this is not canon to that series?

One year. Chrysalis hated that set of words now,it reminded her of the single most humiliating day of her life. No question about it for it had been exactly one year since her defeat by the six princesses,their lovebirds,and that shadow of his former self Sombra. Then for the next ten months she and all of her changelings were locked in that steel cage that Discord conjured up. They had only recently found a way out of there two months ago,ever since then Chrysalis has been trying to come up with a revenge plot to get back at them. And she thinks that she found the one.
She and her army of changelings had just entered Tartarus. Tartarus was a place of absolute misery and darkness,Chrysalis felt right at home. Tartarus was a place for the most dangerous enemies of Queen Celestia and King Sombra. These creatures weren't like her or Discord,they were pure evil and had dangerous power,and that's just what Chrysalis was looking for.
"GRAAAAAAA!" A noise interrupted Chrysalis's thoughts.
It of course was the protector of Tartarus itself,Cerberus. The giant three headed dog looked intimidating but In reality it was mostly harmless only meant to scare. And with one blast from her horn the beast was knocked off its feet and fell off a ledge.
"My queen" A changeling next to Chrysalis spoke to her. This Changeling was her second in command Verandering. "We're are nearing where the prisoners are held. What kind of Creature are we looking for here?" Verandering asked her.
Chrysalis answered instantly. "Something powerful" She answered vaguely.
"But my queen if they are here they are all pow-"
"I'll know the right one when I see it" Chrysalis interrupted him.
The first cage they passed held a small green creature with large eyes and no hair
"Is this the one?" Verandering asked.
Chrysalis observed the creature thinking about it.
As soon as the creature noticed them it hissed "Chsssssssssderftcvgnc"
This instantly put a stop to its consideration.
"No" Chrysalis answered "It's just a wild animal".
They continued walking until they came across another cage with a big blob of faces in it.
Verandering turned to Chrysalis "How about the one with like eighty-seven different faces?" He asked
Before Chrysalis could answer the monster spoke up.
"EIGHTY-EIGHT DIFFERENT FACES!" It corrected.
"Whoa sorry touchy subject" Verandering relpied.
"No not loyal it would probably turn on us" Chrysalis said after seeing this display.
As they were walking away Chrysalis could see the monster scowling at her with one of its faces. They passed several other cages but none of them seemed right. They noticed one cage up a cliff of stone Why is that one all the way up there? Chrysalis thought.
They walked up to the cage when Chrysalis looked in the cage and was shocked to see nothing.
"Must me an empty cage" She said as she began to walk away.
"Wait my queen" Verandering stopped her.
"What is it?" Chrysalis asked annoyed.
"There is something in here" He said as he pointed to the darkest corner of the cage.
Chrysalis looked and saw a faint yellow glow resembling eyes that sent a chill down her spine.
"Who are you?" She asked the now noticeable figure.
"I am lord Tirek" The figure called Tirek answered "Who are you?" Tirek asked back.
"I am queen Chrysalis ruler of the changeling army" Chrysalis replied.
"Queen Chrysalis" Tirek said almost like he was seeing how it sounded on his tongue.
Chrysalis smiled "Yes have you heard of me?"
"Can't say that I have" Tirek answered making Chrysalis frown. "But I have heard of a changeling before. Creatures that can take the form of anything and feed off of love".
Chrysalis's smile returned once again "Yes we have been known to do that" She said.
"Well if you've come here to take my love I'm afraid you're out of luck. I have no love in my body" Tirek hissed at her.
"While yes that would be nice we've come her for a different reason" Chrysalis said making Tirek raise his eyebrow in the darkness. "We've come here to Tartarus to form an alliance with a powerful creature here. You just may be the lucky one,that is of course if you have powerful magic" Chrysalis explained.
Tirek smiled "I have the ability to steal magic" Tirek answered smug.
"Big deal we can take magic too" Chrysalis replied.
"No I can take away magic permanently" Tirek said.
Chrysalis's eyes widened a creature that could take away magic permanently? She had never heard of such a thing. Her face curved into an evil smile,but before she could say something Tirek did.
"So why do you need an ally anyway?" He asked.
"To get revenge on the ones I hate the most. The royal family in Canterlot." Chrysalis answered.
Tirek's eyes widened as well "You mean queen Celestia and king Sombra right?"
Chrysalis nodded "And there six daughters along with there boyfriends. One of them is even the spirit of chaos and disharmony Discord" She said.
"Discord?" Tirek said shocked "Why is he with them?" He asked.
"He has been reformed by the one he is now with" Chrysalis answered.
"Sickening!" Tirek hissed thinking about someone he once traveled with.
"So" Chrysalis said making Tirek stop dwelling on that thought. "About that alliance".
"What about Cerberus?" Tirek asked.
"I've already dealt with that mutt" Chrysalis answered.
Tirek smiled "Then you have a deal" He said as he stuck out his red hand.
When he moved his hand out of the shadows Chrysalis realized that she hadn't even seen what this creature looked like.
"Come into the light first" She said.
He stepped out a little bit revealing a hoof. He stepped out fully revealing his body. That yellow glow earlier was indeed his eyes they had a dark abyss around the yellow center. He had a white beard reaching down to the middle of his small figure,his skin was a blood red. His lower half was four hooves almost resembling a pony he wore a dark black cloak over his body. He wore a yellow triangle medallion around his neck.
"You're a centaur" Chrysalis observed.
"Indeed I am" Tirek replied. "Now about that deal" He said while once again putting his hand out.
Chrysalis was a little more doubtful now. His body was frail and skinny,but if he could truly do what he said he could it was worth it.
She put her hoof out shaking his hand. They both smiled at each other for they were both going to get revenge against the ones that they hated most,while the changeling army looked upon the sight.
