Spike the Crystal Driver

He's coming.

Spike, the dragon whelp, had fell off a crystal spire, right after making his presence known to his friends that stood on a balcony nearby.

A unicorn with a heart of darkness was steadily being carried by black crystals to his falling form. The unicorn, former king, wanted what was falling beside him. The Crystal Heart, a ancient crystal in shape of a heart. It glowed brightly alongside the falling dragon whelp. The only thing that could repel the unicorn back into the cold snow and keep him in isolation from others.

The small dragon, fearing for his well-being, closed his eyes and tried to reminisce the earlier moments of the day, hoping it'll bring him comfort.

It brought none, only more fear coursed though him, realizing he was about to fail his friends, the Crystal Empire, Princess Celestia. As if to make his fear more evident to the unicorn, Spike covered his face with his claws and started to cry tears.

Everything started to move in slow motion.

He opened his eyes, his claws blocking his vision. But he still saw something. His friends were watching him fall to his death from the balcony. They weren't going to do anything to save him. Fluttershy, the winged caretaker who could easily fly up and save him just stood there. Rarity, the unicorn could have caught him with her magic, but she too stood there. Applejack couldn't have done much. Both Shining Armor and Cadence lied on the floor crystal balcony, holding each other. Completely unaware of his rather dire moment.

His friends must of never really cared for him, else they'd go though the trouble of saving him. He couldn't rely on his (former) friends for salvation.

He was alone with a villain.

"Do you need strength to overcome your foe?"

The words came from the falling crystal. These words promised him the power needed to defeat Sombra. The dragon didn't notice the crystal words as he hid behind his claws. The relic spoke in a soothing manner, as if it was a mother singing her children to sleep.

"You are stronger than you think, Spike"

The heart no longer spoke with a soft voice, but of a voice a mother would have when protecting her children from those who wish to hurt them. The crystal also start to glow a different color. Now, it shined with a crimson red light. Almost like it understood and was responding to the dragon's weakness. The light covered the fragile dragon's scales.

It gave the scared dragon power. Power needed to purge this dark stain that stains life. Power that will grant him the right to save The Crystal Empire. it was as if it was reviving the whelp. His eyelids retracted. No longer was his eyes covered, he saw his opponent.

All the crystal ponies below watched as the dragon flipped mid-air and took the gem into his hands. The pointed bottom faced the unicorn.

"End him!"

The scaled child's eyes no longer looked normal. His pupils had disappeared and so did his Irises. A flame replaced them both.

The caped unicorn didn't notice or care about Spike's intention. He held out his forelegs, as if he was going to embrace the dragon.

They made contact.

As if the dragon was a missile, the crystal, the warhead. He rammed himself in the unicorn. The dark lord's chest-plate took the blow, but not the force for he fell off the crystal he was riding. With Spike falling off with him and still trying to kill him with The Crystal Heart.

(Epic air fight music start)

Spike, lost in a sudden and insane blood lust, grabbed the chest-plate with his left hand to make sure he wouldn't lose the unicorn. Then planted his feet on the black iron and tried stabbing the head of Sombra with the crystal heart.

Never before had Sombra bore witness to such a crazy beast. No pony ever wanted him to die, not the Princesses , not The Crystal Ponies, none. But this small dragon boy had every intention to slay him.

The dark pony dodged the attacks, this further fueled the dragon's rage. The sparring continue until the dragon was kicked off, sending him into the world of unconsciousness whilst losing his grip on the crystal heart. He flew back as well.

Thinking the child was beaten, Sombra turned towards the ground. it was coming closer and closer. Panicked, he pulled a black crystal to catch him mid-air.

The black stone caught him, ensuring his victory. He turned around to grab the Crystal Heart with his magic.

His face paled at what he saw.

The child was clearly not beaten. The beast somehow turned the Crystal Heart into what seemed to be a pole with a sharp bit of red crystal on the top. He knew it was The Crystal due to all the magic emanating from it and bits of the crystal heart engraved into the shaft. But that's not what scared him, it was the fact the dragon held the staff as if he was about to impale him.

The dragon was being pushed by some force towards the unicorn. Sombra used his dark magic to create a barrier, hoping the staff wouldn't penetrate the magic wall.

The Crystal Staff broke the wall easily. The unlikely weapon, now turned into a 5 foot staff prepared to impale anything, now was about to run though his body.

The blackened soul of Sombra was impaled by the spear that now showed itself of red light. The dragon pushed the unicorn off of the black rock, sending them both falling once more. But this time, the battle was clearly over. Sombra's dead body dissolved into a fine black smoke. The wicked warlock left only a chest-plate. a crown, and bad memories.

With tremendous force, Spike drove the chest-plate to the ground. He stood on it with the spear still ran though it. The Crystal Ponies all cleared the area around the dragon.
