Catrina: "So we can all agree, he's been pulling our strings from the beginning." As the group comes together to confront the opposing threat

Opaline Arcana: "Correct. I should have seen the signs myself."

Misty Brightdawn: "Even you're not that much of a deceiver, Opaline…"

Opaline Arcana: "…"

Twilight Sparkle: "Consider that a compliment, Opal, this beast was far more cruel than we can comprehend." As they finally approach him.

Grogar: with his eyes close, he stands at the dawn and dusk of the in-between of time and space, the catalyst of the time merger. "Past, present, and future. One thing is always consistent. In times of peace there is war, in times of progress there is lost, and in times of calm there is the storm. One thing they all share in common is the illusion, because everything is a deception. No matter who you follow, who you believe in, what you believe in, there is no transparency. There is always a secret, a motive that someone has, that they follow. You've all experienced it and even if you deny it, you've all done it, to someone, to yourselves…"

Rainbow Dash: "You want to talk about deception? You totally back hoofed your friends trusts!"

Zipp Storm: "Did you not care about Catrina and Opaline at all?"

Grogar: still with his eyes closed "I've never once lied to them."

King Sombra: "Oh but of course, you only with held certain truths. Let me tell you something, I know from experience what that feels like, when some pony doesn't tell you the full story."

Grogar: takes a deep breath and exhales

Applejack: "You can lie to yourself"

Hitch Trailblazer: "but eventually everything that's buried in the dark comes out in the light!"

Grogar: "…"

Rarity: "Do you not have anything to say?"

Pipp Petals: "I don't think he does. This sheep lost themselves years ago."

Queen Chrysalis: "It's both funny and sad. As much as I change shape, even I know not to change my mind, thus I lose myself."

Grogar: "…"

Tirek: "Okay you're starting to piss me off. Say something, you bastard!"

Grogar: as he slowly takes another breath, eyes still closed "As you wish. Eons ago during the nexus of creation, the titans of life and death birthed your six gods and goddesses. You know the story by now, each one represented a realm, each one holding great power and wisdom, but only two had children of their own."

Celestia: looking alarmed

Luna: appearing somber

Grogar: "The two gods took the form of powerful equines, they birthed what should have been two more powerful entities. They would have grown up to have phenomenal, unfathomable power, just like their parents. Sadly, by the time the elder foal could walk, there was an anomaly, an unspoken for entity that was lost, some would say like a sheep. It was perhaps left over from creation, not entirely destroyed by the father titan, regardless, it remained. It saw. It understood something. It understood what the titans were, what the gods were, and what their children were going to be. It saw something beautiful. It saw a force that truly controlled everything, it understood it, it saw… How their parents wanted to destroy it."

As Grogar creates a disroted illusion of a vision that tells the tale of the Pulse

Grogar: "There are multiple names for it; the Meta, the Fourth, the Voice, but we merely dubbed it the Pulse. Something that radiated around us, something that we could feel like a sixth sense, at least to those who accepted it. You see, in creature kind, the Pulse was considered blasphemous, chaotic, a nuisance. Some considered it to be akin to laughter, something that spreads joy and entertainment. Most however prayed against it. They begged the gods to hide it. It was considered unholy. It didn't make sense. It stood out, vibrant, even whenever everything else was so grey and dirty."

Pinkie Pie: "What are you trying to say…?"

Fluttershy: "Don't listen to him, Pinkie Pie."

Grogar: "They made it a sin. They stripped it away from the alicorn foals and instead they would have the sun and moon raised among mortals, hindering their true talents and capabilities in the illusion that alicorns were common. The illusion, the deception, the original concept made by gods who were too scared to admit that their rulers were not in fact the titans."

Celestia: "Is that it?! All this lying and deceit simply because they couldn't see beyond this metaphysical wall?!?"

Luna: "You're a child, Grogar! Crying over something that isn't yours to care nor matter for!"

Discord: "Except that's not all, isn't it," as he turns to Izzy "Izzy?"

Sunny Starscout: "Izzy, what is he on about?"

Izzy Moonbow: "I can see his luminescence. Something is missing, yet it's right there? Like a ghost trying to be seen."

Sunny Starscout: "Grogar, what exactly did they take from you?"

Grogar: as he finally opens his… "My existence." Looking into his eyes is like looking into the void "I wish so badly to tell you what I was, because I'm not the Pulse, that's just what I can see, what we can all see if we try — the ones pulling out strings, making us fight, making us lie, cheat, and everything just to create the illusion that the ones guiding us are great leaders, ones worthy of praise and worship."

Twilight Sparkle: "C-can you try…?"

Grogar: as he mouths… Something, yet nothing " Even if you could hear me, even if I could shout it into your minds, it wouldn't make sense to you, because I don't exist. As long as time and space are open, I can project something for you to look at. This is why I can't have you shut down time and space. The boarders between them must stay up. Because I want to exist."

Sunny Starscout: "But the world will crumble and… I don't want to die!"

Grogar: "… … … How sad. He speaks with genuine remorse as the battle "begins!
