Anyone else getting an ominous feeling about the final season?

The ending of School Raze implied that Cozy Glow and Tirek will work together to escape from Tartarus. And maybe taking a powerful ally with them. And there's theories about them allying with other villains like Chrysalis. (And I know one villain was announced, and another rumored to have been leaked, but I won't say who)

But my concern is mainly for Tirek. We saw what he can do. He can steal ponies' magic, and apparently it can only be returned through Rainbow Power, or if Tirek chooses to relinquish it. The Elements are either weaker now or won't work on extremely powreful enemies, except Discord because he's their opposite. The Mane 6 can't use Rainbow Power again, so unless they lured him to the Crystal Empire and used the Crystal Heart, Tirek cannot be defeated if he gets out again.

Yes, there's Discord, but notice they've never considered asking Discord for help against villains after Twilight's Kingdom, probably coz they're afraid he's betray them again. Twilight resorted to stealing the Sea Ponies' pearl before asking Discord to help them fight the Storm King. Even though he remained on Starlight's side against Chrysalis two seasons later, but it's implied he'd have been disinterested if Fluttershy hadn't been captured, plus in case you forgot he had a falling out with the Mane 6 in A Matter of Principals, that could be a significant event. Yes, Starlight was on friendlier terms with him at the end, but that was before the Mane 6 revealed Discord almost got them killed.
