Me: alright guys I want to give you all a heads up that this story is almost finished! Only a few more chapters!

Dark: WHAT!? IT CAN'T BE!

Me: oh shut up you big wuss. Eventually this story has to end so I can get on to other stories including this stories sequel.

Dark: (sigh) alright I guess I'll just have to deal with it

Me: like you ever had a choice to begin with. Now let's get the ball rolling on this bitch!

"AAAAAAAAAH," screamed the cultist as I fried him with a small lightning spell. I had been trying to get information out of this guy for months but so far he held strong. Until today that is.

"Pl..please. N-n-no more."

"Alright then spill. Who is your true leader and what is that prick planning? Speak quick or else I'll start boiling your blood."

He hesitated for a second but a quick flare of my magic got his lips moving, "our true leader's name is only known to a few. But I learned that his name is Spirit Crusher."

I felt the whole world around me go dark as everything fell into place. How they knew who Soul Searcher was to me, the ancient dark magic. Everything made sense. But he was supposed to be in Tartarus.

Staring back at the stallion in front of me I felt something in me snap as I remembered the pain that bastard brought me for over a millennia. I grabbed the stallion by his throat and slammed him into the wall creating a spider web crack and making him cough up blood probably from some broken ribs but I didn't care. This low-life bastard knew where that bastard was and I was going to find out even if I had to burn this guys very soul to do it.

I let my demonic voice slip out as a miniature hurricane of dark magic swirled around us and my eyes glowed with barely restrained rage and power.

"WHERE IS HE!? TELL ME NOW OR I WILL DESTROY YOUR VERY SOUL!"

He struggled to speak but his fear empowered him to say what needed to be said.

"He is still in Tartarus. But he already has a gate made to get out, and when he does he will unleash hell upon this world. You can't stop my master now. You should just give up and join us as every living thing will soon do."

My anger was getting the better of me but I managed to growl out my last question, "HOW LONG TILL HE MAKES HIS MOVE?"

"One month. I hope you said goodbye to your little family because when my master is through with them he is going to make your wives into his own personal little who-"

He didn't get to finish that sentence as I literally ripped him in half. By now my rage and hate had completely consumed me and by the time I came to my senses the room was dripping with the blood and few remaining parts of the cultist.

Taking a deep breath I teleported to the dinning room where everypony was currently at.

They were surprised by my sudden appearance but once they saw my grim expression they grew concerned.

"Darky? What's wrong," asked Soul.

"I know who we're up against and what they're planning."

Chaotic tilted his head to the side and said in a confused manner, "isn't that a good thing?"

"Not with what I learned it isn't."

Turning towards Soul I say with a strained voice, "it's him. He's coming back."

She looked confused for a second before realization dawned on her face and she gasped in horror.

Turning back towards the others I began told them the news, " the cultist leader is in Tartarus. He already has a gate made with which he plans to release every evil soul in Tartarus unto the world. He plans this to happen in one month's time."

They all either gained shocked or horrified looks at the intensity of the situation.

"What are we going to do? Not even with all of us AND the Equestrian army can we stand up against everything Tartarus has to offer," stated Bloodied Night.

"Then I will contact my father to send his army to help us. That should even the odds. But for now I want all of you to get ready for war. Tia, Soul have the guards get all of the children to a safe place until all of this is over."

I then teleported to my fathers realm to ask for his aid. This war would decide the fate of the world and I knew that no matter what I couldn't let that bastard Spirit Crusher ruin my life again. I lost the one I loved once and I would make sure it didn't happen again because this time I wasn't going to send him to Tartarus oh no I was going to do something that not even Lord Tartarus himself would do.

I was going to destroy his very soul and erase him from existence.

Me: well now the true villain is revealed and the stage for the final battle is set. Pretty good huh Dark? ... uh Dark?

Dark: WHERE IS THE FUCKER I'LL KILL HIM! GET ME MY SCYTHE, FUCK THE STORY THIS SHIT ENDS TODAY!

Me: WOAH HOLD UP MAN! WELL I NEED TO STOP DARK FROM KILLING SPIRIT TOO EARLY SO PLEASE REVIEW AND/OR PM ME. STAY TUNED! UNTIL THEN, NICRANGER OUT! GET BACK HERE YOU CRAZY SON OF A BITCH!
