NightMARES
waking hours
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpike woke up, panting like a racepony and sweating profusely. He realized that the pain was gone. He reached up to his eye which, thankfully, was still there, he then looked at his arm, it no longer resembled a sponge. Then he wondered why he was worried about his face and arm.
He sighed loudly “it was just a dream”
“yeah, well quit dreaming and start running spike” said Rainbow Dash suddenly in his ear
He looked at her confused “huh?”
She then blew a loud sharp note on a gold whistle she had around her neck
Spike began to jog “Uh, what’s this about dash?”
She flew beside him, bored because of how slow he was “Because, I need to get you in shape for that macho dragon competition”
He stopped “the what?”
Rainbow Dash put a hoof on her forehead, sighing dramatically “The competition you entered in to impress rarity”
He scratched his forehead “I did?”
Dash’s eyes leveled “Um, duh, why else would you be out here?”
Spike nodded “Okay
* * *
About an hour had passed, and spikes legs were killing him “Dash, could I please take a break?”
Rainbow Dash studied him “you’re not even trying!”
Spike tripped, and landed face first in the dirt
Rainbow Dash groaned “Fine! you can take your stupid break, “
Spike blacks out
* * *
A few hours later…
Spike wakes up in a room that looks like a gym but there is a large pyramid like structure in the middle, and RainbowDash is standing on top of it
Spike looks at her “What’s all this?”
She shrugs “you’re going to try to climb this tower”
spike shrugged “okay that sounds easy”
As he began to make his way up the tower, Rainbow Dash swooped down and pushed him off
Spike tumbled to the ground hard; rubbing his head he said “ow, what was that for?”
She smiled a thin lipped tight smile “I didn't say I would let you”
He frowned and mad e another attempt, but was pushed off again, this time he hurt his arm bad
He looked at her “what the heck Dash!” she folded her arms and shrugged “no pain, no gain”
So the cycle continued for what seemed like an eternity
Spike stood once again at the bottom, but was trembling all over. His whole body had bruises on it everywhere. He was cut in several places, and bleeding some
He looked up with exhausted and tired eyes “Dash, I've had enough, I can’t do this, and you’re too fast”
She flew off the top of the pyramid and landed in front of him
She nodded “Fine”
Spike was relieved until she suddenly pulled back, and punched him full force in the face, he flew back and hit the pyramid hard
Dash loomed over him “You’re a weak, sniveling coward; no wonder Rarity doesn't like you”
Spike wanted to cry “dash why are you being so mean? what did I ever do to you?”
She laughed, but it was hollow and empty
“You've never done anything for me that is the point, your lazy ,and spineless”
Spike was now worried, and began to panic
Dash smiled and walked over to a leaver
Spike tried to move but only took a step when WHOOSH, he fell into darkness
* * *
Spike woke up again, this time on a sort of bumpy surface; there was a single light overhead.
As he stood up, he saw the surface was rubber like, but had rocks that were imbedded in the material, he pulled a crystal free, and sniffed it , then licked it “Salt?” he said puzzled
Suddenly RainbowDash’s voice burst through loud speakers “yes, salt crystals”
Spike felt the ground suddenly beginning to move under him, and said “Wait, what’s going on?”
Rainbow looked down from an enclosed glass box “you’d better start walking in the other direction”
Spike turned around and saw two small flames that appeared, almost as eyes in the darkness
He squinted, and then suddenly there was a mighty roar and a large panel fell over to reveal a diabolical machine: it was an incinerator, but had two giant meat grinding pins attached, they had sets of 7 inch blades on each one, designed to pull the meat in.
Spikes eyes went wide with horror, and he realized he was getting closer and closer to the diabolical machine
He began to walk in the opposite direction, a task that was difficult to manage with the salt crystals poking his feet.
The giant treadmill from hell began to speed up, slightly causing spike to now clamber over the sharp stones
Spike was now at a light jog ,he winced as he stepped too hard on a crystal, and it cut his foot , he fell forward and landed hard on his hands, lacerating his fingers,. Now with the salt burning his flesh he cried out, and was now trying to crawl along, faster he crawled, and managed to stand back up, he was now covered in salt shards, and bleeding profusely from the deep cuts in his arms and legs. It burned so bad, as if he had embers inside his flesh. He then saw a huge salt crystal and tried to avoid it, but it hit his knee and drove up through the bone, spikes eyes were opened to a new world of pain, his femur was split in two. A new realization suddenly dawned on him: he had stopped moving, he gave one last futile effort, a small hop that only led to him falling again, this time his face took most of the impact, now the sharp crystals embedded in his cheeks, nose and even a rather large one in his eye. He wailed and sobbed in pain.
Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash smiled at the dragon’s torment
She spoke into the monitor “aww, giving up? I thought you had more spirit than that spike”
She shook her head and released a lever
To spikes amazement, a rope dangled in front of him, he grabbed hold of it feebly and now felt the heat, almost at his tail, then he felt something prick his tail, and tug it, then more and more
He looked back and to his horror, he was being dragged in by the grinder pins! , he pulled the rope harder, but the pressure between his body and his tail only grew, slowly, but surely, he was beginning to stretch, he knew that sooner or later the rope would break, but he couldn't give up
He was now stretched to his limit, and the grinder pins pulled him further still, ever so slowly, he cried out a choked cry as blood sprayed from his mouth, and then there was an audible POP, as spikes spine was becoming broken from the test of his skeletons, his arms snapped and stretched into deformed, dislocated limbs, and eventually his skin ripped around the base of his tail, and with a squishing sound, his skeleton slowly became dislodged from his body, muscles and skin tearing. His skin began to fold in on it and eventually. SLIP he was finally pulled into the inferno, a screaming shouldering mass. He looked out at RainbowDash, and as his last remnants of life burned in a fiery demise
He pointed at her, with a skeletal finger and said “why?”
