Beauty and Her Spike: An Epic Twist

II: The Game Plan

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

After Spike left for his vacation to Canterlot, Zarathos was thinking to himself about a strategy to make Rarity learn her lesson, which was learning that love was about accepting the ones the love for who and what they are (and even accepting their flaws, not looking for their bloody "other half").

First thing's first, I must find Rari- his thoughts were interrupted since a purple Unicorn mare entered the library.

"Who in Equestria are you?!" she asked,

"I'm Zarathos, why do you ask?" he answered.

"Where's Spike?"

"He's on vacation."

"What do you mean, 'he's on vacation'?"

"Before we begin, I must know your name."

"My name is Twilight Sparkle, Spike's guardian and Princess Celestia's protegé."

She's one of the princesses' protegé? Cool, Zar thought to himself. "Well, now that we know each other, we can talk about Spike," the teen said to the Unicorn.

"What about him? Why is he gone?"

"Do you know about the incident with Rarity?"

"Yes, he told me. Why?"

"I was sent here to solve the problem. My first task was reaching here by using a portal my father has."

"Who exactly is your father?"

"My father is Ding-A-Ling, and he is married to Eris."

"And who is she?"

"She is Discord's daughter, and also Nightmare Moon's daughter-in-law."

"Are you related to the Princesses?"

"I really don't know if I'm related. I guess not, due to Grandma being created out of Luna's darkness. I'd say Nightmare is Luna's Pinocchio in a sense."

"Anyways, what else happened?"

"It took me some time to find the young dragon, but I found him thanks to a creepy mint-colored unicorn. Once I got here, he let me in. We had some pizza and soda, and I got him talking about his problems. It took me a while to get him to learn that if someone doesn't love you completely, then they are not worth it, for that special someone must be someone who we love completely, and that includes their flaws. In the end, he learned the lesson and I decided do keep him out of the next part: dealing with this 'Rarity'. In order to do so, I sent him to Canterlot so he could clear his mind off this. Now that you appear, I would like to know the other people Spike hangs out with."

"There are the other Elements of Harmony (without counting Rarity, that is), which are Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash."

"Do you know where I can find them?"

"Yes, I do. Fluttershy lives in a cottage by the Everfree Forest, Applejack lives in Sweet Apple Acres, Rainbow Dash lives in a cloud house above Ponyville, and Pinkie Pie lives in Sugarcube Corner."

"Could you give me a map? I don't want to risk looking like an idiot nor getting close to that weird unicorn mare that was stalking me a while ago."

"Sure, and by the way, her name is Lyra Heartstrings, although most people call her Lyra."

"Thank you very much, I'm sure knowing some sociopath's name will help a lot," he said in a sarcastic tone.

"Your welcome."

As the teen left the library to head to a certain farm pony's home, a mint-colored unicorn observed from a bush and said to herself:

"Finally, I will prove that humans are real and everypony will bow down to me due to their stupidity and unwillingness of acknowledging the existence of humans! AHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!"

Fellow Call of Duty players, we may have a rival for Richtofen's insanity, for she will do ANYTHING to prove that humans are real, and that may bring up some issues between the human and the unicorn in the close future.
