Spike and Nyx Around Equestria

Nyx woke up to the sunlight in her pupils. she yawned, rubbed her eyes, and looked around the room to confirm were she was while she was asleep...CanterlotMu guest bedrooms. She looked at the bed across from her and laying on it was a sleeping snoring baby dragon. Nyx just rolled her eyes as she went toward the bathroom and began combing her mane and tail, brushing her teeth and taking a morning shower. once she was done she went back into the room seeing if Spike woke up or beginning to wake up. Sure enough the sleepy dragon shifted and slowly began to wake while continually rubbing his eyes and mumbling to himself.

"Hey sleepy head you awake?" Nyx said to Spike as she was waking back in drying her mane from a towel from the bathroom.

"I *yawn* am awake and so and such."  Spike spoke out still rubbing his eyes and yawning.

Nyx rolled her eyes as she looked around the room for anything particular. She didn't find much really, but she find a note from Celestia.

"Guards will be here in the morning to escort you to the throne room please wait Patiently Nyx and Spike."

                                                                                                                                 From, Celestia.

'Huh I guess we just wait until the guards sh-' just then there was a knock on the door.

"Excuse me miss Nyx and mister Spike? the voice came from the other side of the room and soon opened the door and they were the royal guards mentioned in the letters.

"We would like you to come with us to the throne room please." Spike and Nyx went up toward the guards and they nodded and all went out of the door and went towards the throne room.

As they were going to the throne room the guards stopped dead in there tracks in front of someone but the guards were in the way of them seeing who it was.

"Hello guards may you please step away." a royal like voice spoke. the guards moved aside to reveal prince blueblood and a couple of other royals behind him.

"Now if we can only get that retched thing destroyed..." one of the royals said.

Nyx knew what that meant and she thought only one thing in her head

'RUN!' She literally took off like lightning as well did Spike did the royals chased after them through the halls of the castle. They took shortcuts exits they could find, But eventually they got caught on one room with a fireplace, a star banner, and a purple looking mattress.

"What are we going do? were cornered to a room with no exits!" Spike said in worry. Nyx was trying to think of something but to no and the banging on the door to the room didn't help. Just when they thought the door would give there was a yell Nyx had heard before.

"ENOUGH!" Luna's voice boomed on the other side of the door and the banging stopped. "What on Equestria name are you doing?!" stirs of voices were outside the door. Nyx and Spike looked at each other with relived face's.

"W-Well We were just....well..." Blueblood voice stammered and he was trying to find the words to explain to the Princess.

Nyx and Spike went towards the door "They were Trying to get and kill Nyx!" Spike said.

Luna on the other side looked at them furiously "You were trying to kill a innocent filly just because of her past that she had already paid her crimes of?!" Luna was trying her best not to lash out.... immediately.

"She hardly got any punishment for what happened to the entirety of equestria and to everypony she damage!" Blueblood said trying to defend himself for what he was doing.

"Well I think you should go all of you." Somepony said showing up standing next to Luna he was a unicorn stallion in the mid twenty's. he had a green coat with a black mane with a green stripe and he had a black vest and fedora with a white stripe.

"And who do you think you are?" one of the royals said to the stallion. The two on the other side of the door were wondering who he was and if either he was friend or foe.

"My name is Chase Brantner and by the authority of BOTH Princess Luna and Celestia I am Princess Nyx's and Sir Spike's Protector until Princess Twilight is to come back." This surprised everyone ,including Nyx and Spike, except Luna.

"That is correct now I suggest you do as he says or else I will personally see through all you being put in the dungeon for attempt at murder!" As soon as Luna was done speaking the royals ,including Blueblood, ran away as fast as they could.

Chase went towards the doors and opened them "Lucky for you two you were in Celestia's royal Chambers or else they might have gotten you," Chase said then smiled, "But I think I would've found you with a scrying spell non-the less."

Nyx smiled at him ,but quickly looked down disappointed and down. "Hey what's wrong my lady?"

"Its just what they said and what my mother and Luna said.." Nyx remembered what Luna once said which she heard her say in a dream.

“There are those across Equestria, even in Ponyville, who will strongly disagree with what I’ve done, but that is something Nyx must face. It is a consequence of her actions.” Nyx looked more down at the thought of that memory of the dream.

"Nyx I know what you're thinking and yes what you did has not gone away or may never go away, but that does not mean you can't fix it." Nyx turned her head to Luna who was smiling "So which one is it? are you going to make up to everyone in equestria or are you going to do nothing about it?" Nyx didn't have to think about that as she looked at Luna with a determined face. Luna nodded ,But just then Nyx realized something that she should have realized the moment it should have been said.

"If Chase is my protector then what happened to my Twilight Luna!" Chase looked at Luna in concern Luna's Smile faded as she heard Nyx say those words.

Spike spoke up "She's gone isn't she... on her adventure all of them Are GONE?!" Spike was looking at Luna very stern and short with her.

Luna sighed "That's what we were going to tell you when you got to the throne room and discuss this in private."

Chase looked at Spike and Nyx and then at Luna "Well shall we discuss what happened Princess? Because I am pretty sure that these two would like to know what happened to them." Luna nodded "Well lets go." With that everyone left for the throne room.

Chase, Luna, Nyx, And Spike were on there almost at the throne room although Spike had a question for a vest wearing pony.

"So Chase were you from?" Chase turned his head toward the young dragon

"Early Ponyville, But I moved to Canterlot to be a soldier because well... lets just say I cant stay focused on one thing at a time." Spike got a confused and was about to ask what that meant.

"So why did Luna choose you as our protector?" This time Luna looked back, although not in surprise...but in concern.

Chase paused and thought of the reason Luna wanted him as a protector of these two. He thought and couldn't find one but he did.

"I don't know but were going to have to find out won't we?" Nyx stared astonished at the answer. It wasn't one she was expecting, but couldn't deny it was a good answer.

"Were here" Luna said as she opened the doors and inside was Princess Celestia filling out some paper work with a couple of guards watching over her. Celestia looked up at the door when the group came in.

"Hm hello Nyx and Spike you took a while to get here." Spike and Nyx explained why they were late with Luna confirming why they had been delayed. In the end Celestia just sighed in frustration at what had happened

"Something wrong sister?" Luna had seen Celestia like this a lot during the time she had been back for with her sine she was reformed. At most times she would be tired beyond all belief and would look like she had been through tartarus and back. she had done the best for her, but even still she would still exhaust her self.

Celestia looked at the group "There have been a lot of threats against you Nyx that I am sure you have received many threats on youre life Nyx haven't you?" Nyx was silent but did nod her head. She had death threats by ponies either by mail or by pony. There were also several occasions were she would run for her life. One even managed to actually take her. But Twilight rescued her within the hour.

"I have also had mail, messages, and even threats concerning about you and what Luna did and they have been pestering me about you to lock you up in a dungeon or send you back to the moon." Nyx closed her eyes and in frustration. "I have been ignoring those letters, but even still equestrian ponies still are taking action into there own hands trying to take you, imprison you, ot in the worst case... kill you like just know."

Nyx winced at the thought of all of this and wanted to drop the conversation and fpcus on another matter. Spike wanted to leave the topic alone as well, but took the news seriously.because it was all true.

"We have some encouters like that two. But i am guessing we didn't come to talk about this were we Princess?" Spike said

Celestia nodded "Yes we can talk about this later about this ordeal, but what we do need to talk about is what happned to Twilight" Celestia took out a crystal similar to the teleport crystal, but instead it was bright yellow. Celestia put it down on the center of the floor and shot a bolt of magic at it and it activated, but didn't do anything except making a sound of rustling noise.

"Alright is this on?... Yes its on good" Spike and Nyx perked up at the sound of the voice they knew all two well. It was there mothers voice that was from the crystal.

"Before you say anything this is a recording from the mane 6 when they were at the everfree forest" Nyx and Spike frowned at this. They wanted to believe that there was hope that they could know were there mother and her freinds were.

"Hey can you hurry up with that crystal we need to keep moving! The forest is getting more worse than before and we don't want anything to happen to you 'Princess'!" Rainbow Dash said in the crystal. Nyx and Spike wondered if something were going to happen to them and so they anxiously waited for what happned.

"Alright i am coming! i am just setting this up the recording for the princess!" Twilight said from the crystal "Alright right now we are heading to the Tree Of Harmony to see whats wrong with it." The crystal began to make rustling noises of bushes and grass.

"So i wonder what is wrong with the Tree Of Harmony.." Nyx mumbled to herself.

"Even if we do get in a pinch we can still call on de rainbow power right surgarcube?" AppleJack voice said from the crystal.

"Yes.. here lets be in our forms for now just in case if anything happens." with that the crystal had a noise that cut off the crystal from any sound. Nyx, Spike, was about to ask why it happened until the sound came back on with Fluttershy talking.

"There the tree!" She said and they got close to the tree there was a explosion with a shing and it finally cut off the crystal again this time for good.

"What happned?!" Nyx demanded Celestia turned her head towards Nyx.

"We do not know.. me and Luna both headed there to investigate but the only thing we found was these." With that Celestia pulled out 5 gems that were in pieces and the group looked at the gems 4 of them looked purple with sharp edges in a lavender light purple color the other one looked like a pink oval but in half. Nyx and Spike looked at the gems in concern.

"What is wrong with the Tree of Harmony is it dying again?" Spike asked Celestia.

"Yes i am afraid so. It appears that the elements have all vanished from the tree itself and has been slowly letting the everfree forest into Equestria." She said with a sigh

"But what happened to Mom and the others?!" Nyx yelled. Celestia and Luna lowered her head Nyx gasped at this. Does this mean that Twilight is...?

"We could not find any trace of them in the forest and all we found were those gems you see there." Luna said disapointed that she could not find them. "We even talked to Zecora if they have seen them, but sadly she had not seen by her or in a couple of weeks even." Nyx and Spike's hearts sank. In both of there minds there is the one thought in the back of there heads that there trying to push away and trying to rationalize it.

"We could not find them until we reached the tree," Spike and Nyx looked up "And what we found were...were.." Celestia was losing her composure and was on the brink of tears when she motioned towards Luna to finish what she was going to say.

"We found there............dead bodies.........."

The room was dead silent. Nyxs' mind shut down at this all of her worst fears came true at once. She couldn't hold back the tears that escaped her eyes as it felt like it never would stop and that thought in the back of her head was true...

Her one and only parent was dead.

Spike had trouble standing and fell to his knees while all the while in his head went through denial at the fact they were dead especally the two mares he cared about dearly. They both stood there holding the gems that Celestia and Luna showed them earlier glowing a bit. Celestia regained some of her composure and sat up on her throne.

"For know you will go back to ponyville with Chase and get you're things from you're castle and you will return here." Spike and Nyx still couldn't move or believe what had just happned and there bodies just refused to move. Celestia nodded to Chase for him to take the two home and with a magical pop he teleported to ponyville with Nyx and Spike. Luna looked at her sister and what she saw was Celestia tears flowing down her coat and was just distraught or even paralized at the faces of the two who were just in the room.
