EQUESTRIA'S ESPADA
CHAPTER TWO
By: Vladimir
Spike and the others arrive in the center of Ponyville with a flash of light, and sight dizziness from the mortal ponies while Dash, Spike, Luna and Celestia stand tall and just fine from the random burst of magic, proving to the ponies that the two are not to be messed with.
'I see, so this town is safe. Good. It will proof useful to make sure this area is safe due to how many beings with power lay around it.' He looks to the eastern wing of the town, 'Diamond-Dogs to the east just beneath the earth,' he then looks towards the mountain to the west, 'a slumbering Fire Drake to the west, and to the south is the Everfee Forest, while to the north is Canterlot. Curious.' He thinks to himself.
He then evaluates each ponies own "spiritual pressure", and notes that Dash is similar to his own -obviously given what she is- while Twilight holds a similar pressure to Kurosaki Ichigo, as do the princesses. Curious nature indeed.
"The town is safe, for now. The inhabitance are sound asleep from what my pesquisa is informing me. All seems right. Perhaps we should go indoors, however, as high amounts of energy is gathering in those storm clouds." He says with satisfaction evident in his tone. Dash looks at him with a slight hint of sadness, before gaining a firm look before she grabs Spike's shoulder.
"Fight me." She growls out. The others grow shocked while Spike is mildly surprised, and it shows.
"Why?" He asks. Dash growls.
"I need to prove myself!" She roars out. Spike see's something flash in her magenta eyes, before sighing and nodding his head in acceptance. Dash goes to unsheathe her changed Zanpakuto, but is stopped by Spike.
"Not hear. Besides, our presence alone would kill everyone in the town in a matter of minutes. We must go somewhere...higher." He says as he floats into the air, with Dash going after him, her wings folded up against her back. Celestia conjures platforms and they follow after the two, but keep their distance just incase.
The two stand on the air hundreds of feet above the town, as well as Equestria herself, and stare each other down. The storm clouds roll in, and the ponies note that the thunder and lightning gives a very well made setting for the two and their little "battle" that is just about to begin.
If only they knew.
The two stare each other down, and Dash draws her sword, swinging it and then holding it at her side, her eyes hard and a flicker of blue shines from each lightning strike. Thunder booms and rolls louder through the sky, louder than anyone had ever heard. She gets into a stance, and the two dash forward right as a massive thunder clap shakes the air. Rain pours down like needles, and make loud "panging" sounds on the roofs of the houses down below.
Dash swings her Zanpakuto downward, while Spike swings his hand upwards, the two items clanging and the sparks fly. The two move around like living blurs as shockwaves boom alongside the thunder claps while the lightning flashes their shadows across Ponyville, making an eerie lightshow for the inhabitance down below who were awoken from the monstrous storm.
To the untrained eye, the two would be seen as blurs, but to Twilight, Celestia, and Luna, they watch the true fight happening at high speeds, making them stare in awe as the two combatants clash with expertise.
Spike kicks Dash across an invisible ground making "dust" kick up, before she flickers behind him, stabbing at him. He spin-kicks Dash to the side once more. She growls before stabbing her Zanpakuto into the "ground", making her stop. She grins at Spike as she cuts her pointer figure, drawing blood. The sight makes the onlookers gasp, and then gasp once again when a large blue sphere forms in the palm of her hand.
She holds it out towards Spike, who stares with wide eyes, stunned from the reckless move.
Gran Rey CERO!! She roars out as a massive beam of blue energy the size of a Canterlot Castle spire tripled roars at Spike. His eyes narrow and he holds out his left hand, stopping the attack. But soon he is pushed back, forcing him to use both hands, but it proves to be of little use as the beam them seems to move forward, encompassing his form, as the attack keeps flying forward line an endless tunnel.
Dash smirks, but her eyes soon widen, as does the others and the ponies down below, as the beam is split in half, and then dissipates. The see Spike standing there with his new Zanpakuto drawn (AN: it looks just like Ulquiorra's old one, but with a purple and green tint to it) out and pointing upwards, not a single scratch on his form can be seen. He gives Dash a cold stare before amusement flashes in those emerald-purple eyes of his.
A blush forms on Dash's cheeks, and she feels her heart flutter for whatever reason, but soon her eyes widen and fear grips her chest as she barely blocks Spike's sword with her own, sending a massive shockwave that somehow causes the storm to roar and grow larger than before.
Dash is forced to use both hands in hopes that she can even push him back, let alone block his brute strength. The two push away from each other, making the sky shake. When they land, then things start to heat up as Dash gains a feral grin on her face flashing her new canines to the ponies who stand in shock.
The two then begin their "dance " as they begin stomping before flashing around faster than anyone thought could be possible.
They clash and clang against each other as they send shockwaves through the air, clouds boom and lightning flashes more frequently as they battle. Soon, however, Dash grows annoyed, and jumps away from Spike's axe drop kick, and her Zanpakuto blade glows bright blue, and the air becomes heavy.
She rakes her nails across the blade, a wide feral grin on her face as blue flames form.
Kishire! PANTERA!! She cries out, and then the winds pick up with such immense speed, that it takes all of Luna's and Celestia's magic to keep everyone safe, let alone themselves, as they watch as Dash is covered in white armor, her rainbow tail now a thin cat like tail that is as long as herself. Her hands are black claws while her feet are black paws, her mane three times as long and bright sky blue, while there are blades on her forearms and legs.
She roars sending massive shockwaves that cuts clouds apart, before they reform from the large amount of spiritual energy being produced.
She laughs like a mad-woman before pushing herself off the "ground" and appears above Spike, who looks taken aback as her once blue wings are now covered in white armor along with large blue Cero wings sprouting from those pair. She punches Spike in he face sending him flying down into the Everfree Forest, making a tower of dirt rise into the earth the size of a castle spire. She watches like a cat waiting for it's prey to move so it can then pounce said prey.
She watches, waiting for the right moment to strike, until her eyes widen as Spike's Zanpakuto stabs upwards just before her face, and she jumps back away from him with a cut on her left cheek. She growls as Spike stands there with a bored look on his face, though his eyes shine with excitement that sends strange shivers up her spine. She grins down at him and flies down at him with her claws glowing bright blue.
DESGARRON!!!
She swings her claws downward making her arms make an "X" shape as ten large glowing claws roar down making the air scream. Spike swings his Zanpakuto to the side, and holds it in front of him, and blocks the attack. He starts to be pushed back making two line going through the ground. He gains a small smile before he swings his Zanpakuto upward, destroying the claws and creating a taller of fire, smoke and dirt that is twice the side of Canterlot Castle itself.
Dash watches as Spike flies up at her, his sleeves are gone, his left pant leg is burnt away in nothingness. She feels heat start to rise from her nether region, but quickly clears her head of lewd thoughts. For now.
Spike slashes at Dash who kicks, the two blades collide and the clouds ripple as spiritual pressure starts to rise. The ponies stare in awe as Spike points his left pointer finger a Dash's belly, forming a green/purple cero. Her eyes widen in surprise.
Cero He says, and then a large beam of green light encompasses Dash's body, but the Cero is cut into ten by Dash's claws. They see she has nary a scratch on her, and they see excitement flash through Spikes eyes.
"Very well." Spike says before he flies upwards into the clouds. Dash immediately follows, while Celestia, Luna, and Twilight conjure a large screen to watch the fight. The ponies down in Ponyville also look towards the massive screen in the sky.
Dash chases after Spike who just keeps climbing higher and higher, his wings flap once, and he is many more miles away from him with three ring following his "jet trails" while she stares with wide eyes.
'Is he really this fast? But he's only at base form, if this is his speed now.... Shit! Looks like I need to work harder to become the ki- Queen! Haha! I am the QUEEN!!! NO ONE CAN BEAT ME!!!!!' She inwardly roars in laughter unaware that a certain screen allows many other to listen to her thoughts. She chases after Spike moving faster and faster, pumping her wings propelling herself and making her own pair of rings behind herself miles down.
They both move above the storm clouds and in the partial dawn light. She looks around for Spike, but soon she finds him standing before the mountains of the east where his wings are spread out wide, his thin scaly tail circling around his form. A blush forms on her face as rays of light jet out from behind him, even so far as giving him a halo above his "horn" giving him a "fallen angel" look.
'He's....gorgeous!!' Dash thinks to himself as his hair is no longer black but a stunning light purple like his old scales were, his wings are now purple and green while his tail his still purple with a green underbelly to it. She stares and stares before something comes to mind. 'MINE!!!' Her mind roars, but shock then sets in. 'W-What am I saying!? I...Do I really...? Is he my mate?!' She wonders to herself.
"Prepare yourself, Dash," she shudders with pleasure moving up and down her body from his nickname for her even if others call her that, "for I am through holding back this attack." He states as he points his left pointer finger and lays it onto the back of his Zanpakuto's guard, a small trickle of blood dripping onto the blade. Two large violet sphere form, on at his finger, the other over the entire Zanpakuto blade .
His cold green and purple eyes glinting in the violet light with a hint of sadness to them. Three simple words are uttered that makes Dash freeze in shock, her eyes to widen in fear and her heart to clench with despair.
Gran Rey Cero
The two balls fuse into one massive one that then becomes a beam ten times the size of Canterlot Castle's largest spire and towers. Dash drops to her knees at the sheer power the attack emits let alone the size of it. 'How could he be the Quatra Espada?! Not even Stark the Primera could do this!!' Her mind races. But then calms down. She grins widely before spreading her wings out and the Cero Wings glow and grow before she slaps her wings, sending out two Gran Rey Cero's that fuse together, making it the same size as Spike's own.
Spike see's this, and he gives a real smile that she notices, and smirks back at him. Her mind is made up. She wants Him.
The ponies stare in awe as the two beams the size of Canterlot Castle itself if not larger let alone that the power it is emitting is causing the clouds to rage and the thunder to boom like a dragon's furious roar. Lightning strikes the ground in long lines and move like tornados as the clouds themselves looks like pitch black smoke.
Celestia, Luna, Twilight, and Rarity use their magical reserves as to make sure no one is injured, let alone themselves.
The two beams crash into one another, and a massive explosion rockets through the sky, destroying the storm clouds. The ponies cover their eyes quickly as to make sure they don't get damaged from splintering trees, dirt, dust, even sharp needle like shards of rain.
When Celestia, Luna and the others look back at the screen, they gasp.
Standing before the rising sun, is Dash kissing Spike.
Dash, during the explosion, flies up to Spike and kisses him deeply with much fever and passion, as she presses her body up against his. She moans happily and softly when he kisses her back just as deeply and with just as much passion. Their mask pieces/fragments glow softly in either green/purple or rainbow colored before they change. Dash's piece is now a choker with her element edged into it, while Spike's is similar to Dash's choker, but it is also more like a collar. Around his wrists are two seals wrapping around them looking like scale pieces that started to break off and then stop.
The two of them separate, and gaze into each others eyes as their seals/element and mask fragments glow brightly in the light of the rising sun.
The ponies down below gaze in awe as the two look like angels that had descended down to the world from heaven. The storm clouds long since gone, and the sky lit up in bright red and orange colors, while their shadows seemingly stand, looking over all giving the ponies a sense of peace.
Dash looks down at the ponies below fully aware that they are looking up at her and her mate. Spike grabs hold of her hand and gives her a smirk. Dash smirks back before they both jump back away from each other and summon their Cero 's as they charge them, Dash's looking like a blue spiraling ball as the wind screams around it, while Spike's resembles black, purple and green flames spiraling around a purple ball similar to Dash's own.
The two dash forward, their wings flapping as their tails swishing around while their hairs blow in the wind. They move their arms past each other, and fire off their Cero 's as they roar across the sky, making a rainbow colored one fly from Dash's, while Spike's was a darker version of hers. The attacks then dissipate, making grey clouds form, and rain to fall.
The rain drizzles onto Ponyville, the ponies down below enjoy the cold soft rain that pours down onto the Apple Orchards, from the magic soil, more trees begin to grow, as well as the other crops.
The two float down to Celestia and the others, and stand before the group. Dash had returned to normal, while Spike reigned in his power as to not cause harm. Luna stares at Spike with soft and appraising eyes. Dash see's a hint of longing to them, and gives the other mare a smile as she knows that look. She nods to Luna, who gives her a happy smile, but grows surprised when Dash pushes Spike. Spike stumbles forward unsure how he managed to lose his balance, but soon his eyes grow wide and a shiver goes over his form as he feels his lips crash onto Princess Luna's own. The same feeling that he shared with Dash only minutes ago.
'So I have two mates. Curious. One being the Ex- Sexta Espada, and the other being the Goddess of the moon and the younger Princess of Equestria. This will be, as Dash would say, "fun".' Spike thinks to himself, before letting himself go and leans into the kiss with his lunar princess and goddess who is doing the same.
Celestia gives a non-royal-like squeal of happiness and hugs her "son" and sister in a bone/Hierro crushing hug. "It's sooooo good to see this! It's been so long since my little sister has been courted, let alone by one I consider my "son"! Such a wonderful occasion!" She squeals out. Dash makes an odd face.
"Your 'son'? But, isn't that kind of, wrong?" She asks. Celestia giggles and shakes her head while speaking motherly.
"Oh no! Not at all! Alicorn's abide by different rules of nature. You see, if Spike were to be of my flesh and blood, his instincts would sends messages to him to stay close to me, as Alicorn's age much! Much! slower than other races until we each a certain point in our time where we just stop aging, we can be killed. Yes. But that has been proved to be much harder than slaying a Dragon, no offence Spike." She says to Spike, who shrugs.
"I'm technically not much of a dragon anymore, as I have gained my hollow traits and form mixed with my old/new one." Spike says with a low shrug. Celestia nods.
"Right, anyways, Alicorn's take many hundreds of years to reach to our matured forms, which is where we stop aging." She states firmly, yet motherly all at the same time. Dash nods her head, but then tilts it to the side.
"And if Luna and him were to rut, it simply be okay with you, as he is not exactly your son, just seen as one, as he most likely see's you as his "mother"?" She asks. Celestia nods.
"Yes, that's exactly it, though I would have judged his decision if he simply went to some random mare and grew slightly fond of them, instead of finding his mate(s). Though it looks as if he has found at least two of what I can sense of." She states with a shrug. Dash nods her head, and gains a smirk.
"So, when do we get to go to the palace and fuck~?" She asks unashamedly. Celestia giggles from the other mares blushes and Spike's calm demeanor. Apparently he had no problem with Dash's new vocabulary.
"Quite soon, id imagine, as you two would need to be claimed by your dominant, unless you two are his dominant, which would then mean you'd need to claim him. Though I can see clearly that he is the dominant, as his power clearly over shadowed your own, Ms. Dash~." Celestia says with a sing song tone. Twilight stares at her mentor in shock, never had Princess Celestia ever, Ever! Spoken like that to anyone!
'This MUST be recorded!' Twilight thinks to herself as she scribbles all this down.
"Now then, let us head to the castle, Spi- Ulquiorra and I have some...things to talk about." Celestia says with a deadly serious tone with a smile, making them all, aside from Spike himself, shudder in fear. The group then vanishes with a thunderous clap of magical power, and then, silence.
Author's Note
I know it wasn't THAT long, nor slow paced! But! Meh! Felt like this should work and yes, I made a few Easter eggs, have fun egg hunting!

Opening his eyes Spike notices that he is surrounded by two rather warm bodies and two pairs of strong arms that have a firm hold around his hips. For some reason, he feels heat rise to his pale cheeks and begins to feel some sort of warmth form in his chest just below his hollow hole.
His wings twitch slightly as a soft as a warm breath brushes across the back of his neck. He feels some sort of tingling sensation bubble in his groin making him inwardly moan with annoyance. A pair of soft lips press against the side of his neck, making him softly groan in a strange pleasure that bubbles from his groin once again. The arms around his hips tighten more as if to make sure that he would not be capable of escaping.
The lips move across his neck in strange circles in the form of an "0". He groans softly once again as a hand brushes against his crouch. His eyes are then covered by two of the hands and he feels himself being brought in close to someone. He feels two large fluffy objects press up against his back, making him inwardly moan in a strange longing to caress them.
"Hello, our love." Coos a soft melodious voice that he recognizes as his lunar goddess Princess Luna. Her arms tighten as her hands rest on his hips possessively. His blush grows across his cheeks as his wings twitch ever so slightly. "Good evening, deep Ulquiorra~" She whispers out seductively. He makes a soft whimper while mentally wondering why his body refuses to cooperate with his brains commands.
'What's happening? Why do I feel so...protected? But, why must I feel this way when the only beings capable of ending my existence are in the human world, Dash, my lunar princess and my "mother". So, why must I feel this way when I am capable of leveling this entire country with little resistance?' He wonders. The answer comes from Luna's voice.
"Because we have claimed you. You may be stronger than both of us combined, but, we are your dominants, and we desire your safety, Ulquiorra~" She coos softly.
"Why do you call me by my old name, love?" He asks as his voice is weak from some odd sense of pleasure forming in his chest. 'Is this what is means? To have a heart?' He wonders.
"Yes~" She says softly in his ear as she kisses the nape of his neck gently, making him grunt softly. "And I call you your old name, because I think it's hot~" She says huskily causing his heart to flutter and his body to involuntarily twitch from a jolt of pleasure. He pants softly as he feels what he can only assume is Dash's hands tie some sort of cloth around his eyes and "helmet".
"I like it too, even if it is somewhat weird at times..." Dash huffs out rather cutely from what he can hear. Luna giggles melodiously that makes his heart flutter once again. "Besides~," she says with a husky tone as her hands rub his exposed chest, "I think it suites you better than "Spike" at the moment, but, it could always be our nickname for you, our lovely little Spike~" She whispers out as he feels her tongue flick against his ear gently making him shiver slightly.
He, for whatever reason, finds the nickname interesting. "I...I am not sure what I am supposed to do in this situation. I'm afraid my knowledge is...limited to what that horrid Shinigami Gin had told me about the....reproductive process." He says with, for once, a nervous tone in his soft weak voice. A finger presses up against his pale and black lips.
"Shh~ Let us handle it, you just lay back and relax~" Dash whispers out seductively. After mulling it over, he silently nods his head. He feels himself being shifted around as if he were some sort of doll and placed onto his back with his wings spread out rather tenderly. He inwardly smiles at how gentle they are being, when he would most likely pin them down and ravage them, would the time ever arise.
The feeling of hands moving along his body towards his lower region sends strange jolts of pleasure through his spine making him softly whimper. A hand gently caresses his left cheek as soft lips presses against his own in a soft, yet deep passionate kiss. A tongue gently presses at his lips and he gasps softly allowing the tongue access into his mouth. Strange tinging sensations form in his spine and head as his and his mates tongue have a battle for dominance, which, he ultimately lost from the impressive amount of pleasure he feels coursing through his veins.
The tongue leaves his mouth, leaving him panting softly as he tries to gain more oxygen than his lungs are allowing. His head feels light as he feels as if he is laying on the air itself.
He feels his pants leave him and two soft gasps of what he could only assume is either surprise or shock.
"Whoa...!" Dash says softly.
"Indeed...!" Luna states oddly.
He grows confused, what was so interesting about his genitalia? 'Why do they sound impressed? Have they never seen a males member before?' He wonders.
"We most certainly have, dear Ulquiorra, but...not at this size...!" Luna says as if approvingly.
"What do you mean? Am I not this "average size" that I had heard when "growing up"?" He asks dumbly.
"No, what she means is, your above average! Luna! Get me the tape measure!!" Dash exclaims excitedly for some reason. He begins to feel....awkward? Yes, awkward. He starts wondering why they would even need a tape measuring device. A ruler should suffice.
"I could only find a ruler, but it might not be enough!" Luna exclaims with a hint of lust burst from her in waves. He begins to blush.
"This only goes to 9'' Luna! He isn't hard and he goes past it by what...get me that other ruler!" She says quickly.He feels to pieces of cold wood press against the side of his flaccid member, a few faint gasps are heard, and then, silence.
Nothing but dense eerie silence.
He begins to grow worried, but soon a soft groan escapes his lips as a hand gently glides along his length. He inwardly moans in a strange happiness as he feels himself "puff up". The hand glides along his shaft slowly and somewhat tightly as something wet, yet slightly firm and soft brushes against his tip.
A minute passes in silence, except for his faint gasps or moans of pleasure, before he is at "full mast" as the saying goes. He feels two soft lips wrap around the head of his member making his breath hitch in his throat and his entire body to tingle strangely. The lips tighten and a tongue tip moves in a circle around the tip causing a soft moan to escape his lips in pleasure as his heartbeat seems to quicken in excitement which still eludes him.
The tongue prods his tip and then moves underneath the head near his glans making his back arch slightly as his spine tingles with palpable pleasure. A hand moves at the base and the thumb gently moves his balls around as if they were fragile spheres of glass that would shatter from the simplest touch.
He moans slightly louder as pleasure courses through him, but more so when the lips move down just a few inches past the head and begin to spread more ever so slightly to allow more of his girth into his mates mouth while whom he assumes his his other mate kisses his chest and messes with his balls.
Lips press against his in a passionate kiss as the lips around his member tighten as they move just a few more inches below the middle of his member. His balls start to tingle as he can feel something moving around in them as if something was to leave them for some unknown purpose, which leaves him as the pleasure grows stronger and stronger.
The lips move up to just below the head before moving back down to where they were before quickly and he feels the back of his mates through as his other mates tongue lashes at his own. The mouth moves up and down his member swiftly and in a rhythm as the pleasure bubbles up faster and faster, before his wings spread out wider and his back arches. His hand involentarrily move behind his mates head as he presses her head against his groin and a strange warm liquid shoots from his member in bursts.
Soft moans vibrate his mates mouth and throat as she gulps down the liquid with strange hunger as his other mate kisses his cheek gently while pumping whatever part of his member that is not in the other's mouth as to get out the rest of the liquid that they seem so hungry for. Moaning he feels more warm liquid pump out, but, his member is pulled from his first mates mouth and is pushed into his second mates mouth as she moans in longing and lust seems to radiate from her form that sits next to him.
A minute passes before he comes down down from his "pleasure high" panting heavily as his lungs seem to burn, yearning for oxygen that he so rightfully needs.
The cloth is removed from over his eyes and the faint light of the moon stings his eyes ever so slightly. It takes a few seconds for his eyes to regain their vision without the black dots moving around in them. Looking up he sees Luna and Dash panting with strange white stuff dripping from their bottom lips and onto their rather generous cleavage. Their breasts moving up and down with their shoulders at a quick pace.
"That was...-"
"So sweet~" Dash says cutting Luna off, who nods her head with a happily smile gracing her beautiful purple lips. The two look each other up and down, before smirking saucily and suckle on each others cleavage, making him groan inwardly. When they move away from each other, both have faint twinkles in their eyes as they gaze down at him lovingly.
"Did you enjoy yourself, Ulquiorra~?" Luna asks sweetly. He nods his head softly and sighs gently as his muscles begin to calm down and his wings lays limply across the rather large bed.
"I did, but, I am curious. What was that liquid that came out?" He asks dumbly. Luna blinks while Dash face palms.
"That is called cum. It holds sperm which gets us females pregnant with your children." Dash groans out before giving him a curious look. "Did you not know about that? I thought Gin would have told yah..." She says. He shakes his head.
"No, I was only told that females would make me feel pleasure, but that was all. Evidently, there are many things that elude me, even now, what with my upbringing being with a mare who would punish me for saying "butt". I never truly learned what intercourse is till around just a few days ago while Twilight was asleep and I read up on this smut book called "Intercourse and how to do it"." He states.
Dash groans and rolls her eyes while Luna huffs in annoyance, before a saucy grin form across her lips, "Then it appear that you'll be learning about it the "fun way", hm?" She says seductively as she presses her arms together making her breasts pop out catching his eyes for some reason.
Blushing, he nods his head softly and looks around for his clothes. "Where are my clothes, by the way?" He asks when he doesn't find them and looks to his rather beautiful mates. Dash blushes and brings forth tattered pants and his jacket. He nods his head before shrugging nonchalantly. "I guess I could wear something else, but the question is what?" He states calmly. Luna smiles cheekily and walks over to her closet.
He watches her hips sway from side to side in a trance like state. Dash smirk and leans forward exposing more of her cleavage. His eyes move towards her slightly exposed chest and inwardly drools in a strange longing.
"Ahem." Luna voice states. Spike blinks his eyes as to escape the trance and looking to his right, a wide blush forms. There, in Luna's hands are skinny jeans, a lime green t-shirt and a black hoodie with white fur on the inside. "Do you like them?" She asks sweetly. He nods his head lightly and then notices that over the heart on the lime green tee is a black number "1" and on the hoodie is a white number "1".
"I like them, a lot." He says softly. Dash snickers and rises to her feet. She takes her clothes off and moves next to Luna who is also naked. His blush forms and he looks away quickly. They roll their eyes and giggle.
"Just look already! You'll be seeing this more and more you know." Dash says with a wink, before following Luna into the closet to get some clothes. He shakes his head to clear it of perverse thoughts and moves towards the clothes. "Oh, and take these!" Dash exclaims as she tosses a pair of boxers, which gets caught on his horn. He rolls his eyes and pulls them on. Then the jeans, the tee and finally the hoodie, which then changes into a three tailed coat that is feels thin yet is thicker than it looks with the white fur thinned out but still keeps heat.
He smiles and looks around. Finding his Zanpakuto in the corner, he places it onto his left hip, but soon finds that it no longer feels as comfortable like it had before, and decides to lay it across his lower back. Feeling comfortable with it this way, his lips are graced with a soft, gentle smile.
"Wow!" Luna's and Dash's voices state in what to him sounds like shock. He turns and gazes upon his mates, only to stumble slightly and blush faintly. Dash wears a blue skirt and red low-cut tank-top with the number "3" over her right breast in crimson red. He looks to Luna and his blush only seems to spread as she wears cyan belly dancers clothing with the number "2" over her exposed belly in dark purple similar to Nightmare's magical aura.
"Whoa...!" He gasps out at their splendor. They smile at him, making his heart flutter. They both grip his hands gently and pull him out of the room, his wings firmly folded up against his back.
The three walk through the dark halls of the castle as they head towards what he can assume is the throne room, but for what reason? He is not sure. They move through corridors and soon reach the throne room doors. They open silently and inside the room reveals his "mother" and "sister" along with her friends.
"Welcome, Spike." Celestia says motherly causing him to smile lightly.
"Hello, mother." He says softly, making he giggle gently as she appears next to him. She claps her hand onto his back gently and smiles down at him.
"Did you enjoy your little surprise?" She asks. He freezes up and blushes heatedly.
"H-How?!" He squeaks out in shock. Luna and Dash's faces become red as tomatoes while Celestia chuckles.
"I cast spells that alert me of any sort of movement in the castle and I am capable of looking into the area or room that "tricks the alarm". When I got the "alarm" and noticed it was coming from Luna's room, I decided to check it, only to find you being...pleased by your mates." She giggles out almost mockingly. Almost. A few gasps come from the other side of the room, and he looks over to see Twilight fuming and her friends all blushing heavily.
"SPIKE!!" Twilight exclaims. He inwardly groans from the lecture he was about to receive. "WHAT HAPPENED!?!?" She roars. He rolls his eyes in a childish manner.
"Oh please, Twilight, it's not like you haven't done anything before. Besides, I didn't exactly know what was going on till I caved into the pleasure and the reassurance of my mates." He says mockingly. Twilight grits her teeth.
"But your too young, Spike!!" She exclaims. He groans.
"I am over a thousand years old, Twilight!" He states as he crosses his arms. Twilight growls.
"But your only seventeen! Spike! And Rainbow Dash is 22 and Princess Luna is over a thousand years old! Your not mature enough for these kinds of things!!" She hisses harshly. Spike sends an even glare at his "sister" who shivers from underneath his intense gaze as his eyes look devoid of all emotion.
"Twilight Sparkle! I am far older than you and quite possibly Luna and Dash by hundreds of years! I have killed, fought, devoured and died many times in order to be what I am now! I am not some child that can't defend themselves from harm, or doesn't understand the happenings of the world. I have been the one taking care of your needs for most of my new life, and now I am going to enjoy my new life where I don't need to fight to survive! So please, tell me again? Who is not mature enough to handle this?!" He growls out as his spiritual pressure spikes and presses the mare down to her knees before him.
Twilight gasps for breath as she feels his intense pressure press down upon her and looks up at Spike with begging eyes to remove it from her body. He complies by reigning in his spiritual pressure once more, but continues to glare down at her.
"I see your point Spike..." Twilight says with her head bowed, her mane covers her eyes but he catches the faint scent of salt. "But," She looks up at him with tears moving down her cheeks, "I'm afraid of losing you, my little brother...!" She cries out weakly. Spike's gaze softens and he kneels next to the sobbing mare he calls his "sister". Wrapping an arm around her shoulders, he pulls his sister into a hug and rubs circles into her back gently.
"You won't lose me, Twilight, but you will if you keep trying to keep me locked up and away from the world. I'm no longer small and fragile like I was when I was reincarnated, but strong and have regained my form and power once again." He lifts her chin up and looks into her pinkish eyes. "You don't have to worry about me so much, sister." He tells her softly. Twilight nods her head lightly and sniffs before hugging him tightly and rests her head in the nape of his neck gently.
"Okay Spike, and I'm sorry...." She whispers to him softly. He rubs her back gently and nods his head.
"You are forgiven, sister. Now, let us figure out what mother wishes from us, hm?" He asks as he gives a side glance to Celestia who smiles softly and motherly.
"I agree. But, I believe it is time you take your places, my son." She says cheerily. Spike nods his head and rises to his feet and turns to his mother who summons a strange black crown that looks fused with a white crown and two rings. The first ring looks similar to the rings on Celestia's and Luna's fingers, but the second looks to have to have a strange looking gates with a dragon standing before them wearing a crown and carrying two swords.
"What...What are those?" He asks. Celestia smiles softly.
"These are your regalia, your a Prince, my son. You really should have figured that out, seeing as how your so intelligent." She giggles out. He nods dumbly.
"Well, I know about the crown and the Canterlot Royalty Ring, but, the second ring eludes me. What is it for?" He asks. She sighs softly with a small smile.
"That, my son, is the royal insignia for the royals of Tartarus." She says softly. Everyone freezes up while Spike stares wide eyed at his mother.
"But...what?!" He exclaims. Celestia rolls her eyes.
"Not the gates or whats inside them, but the kingdom of Tartarus that rests around them. The gates aren't part of a mountain as ponies think, but, is a hold in the ground that the ancient dragons built to keep the beasts locked away. Oddly enough, the "beasts" had white masks and would devour souls of the living or dead, and even each other." She states with mild confusion. Dash and Spike stare at her with wide eyes filled with recognition.
The ponies stare at the two in confusion as Dash looks at Spike fearfully from the corner of her eye. She looks down at her feet. "But, that's not possible! There's just no way it's possible!!" She states as her voice trembles. Luna raises a brow.
"What's not possible?" She asks. Spike looks to them with wide eyes.
"Tartarus is a portal to Hueco Mundo...the Hollow World..." He says in shock. Their eyes widen in surprise before Celestia nods her head, as if she got a question right.
"I suspected that was the case when you had explained your dreams to me when you were younger. It seems you two are capable of entering and leaving that and this world, correct?" She asks. Dash looks to the right and snaps her fingers, a tear forms in the air and a black eye shaped portal forms. She quickly closes the portal once again and nods her head lightly.
"Yep. But it must be the gates that are keeping the hollows at bay, otherwise during our little battles, they would have overrun all of Equestria." She states knowingly. She turns to Celestia. "Where is this kingdom located, anyways?" She asks.
"It's actually near the Dragon Kingdom and Equestria, in the Wastelands where the Changelings live. It is also protected by those very "Hollows" as you call them, protect the city from those who are not of blood descent or brought into a royal family. It has been a meeting spot for royal families during the day, but at night, well, it should be easy to figure out." She says. Spike nods his head light in understanding.
"I see. Then, I accept my status', but, I don't wish to leave my mates behind..." He says softly. Celestia giggles.
"You have nothing to fear there, as Rainbow Dash and Princess Luna shall be living with you, along with the rest of the Elements and my "niece", Princess Mi Amore Cadenza!" She says cheerily. Spike stares wide eyed at his mother in shock.
"But, what about you?" He asks. She waves a hand as if waving the question, and his worries, off into oblivion.
"I shall live there too, but, only after the kingdom has been moved." She states.
"Moved? How do you move a kingdom?" Dash asks smartly. Celestia smiles motherly.
"Not by me, by Spike. He is the last of the royal families of Tartarus, and as such, has access to all magics and power that entails. He could wish to merge Equestria and Tartarus together if he so wished." She states. Spike nods his head lightly.
"I kind of like that idea, but, I get the feeling that the ponies wouldn't like having the hole to hell and hollow guards running about their homes, would they?" He asks. Celestia merely shrugs her shoulders.
"Personally? I think it will be a welcomed change, and besides, you would be capable of ruling alongside me and Luna as well as Cadence over Equestria, though, it would most likely have it's name changed, as the Kingdom of Tartarus has been around for eons, while Equestria for a few thouand years." She states sadly. Spike shakes his head.
"Either name works, to be honest. Though, I think it'd be easier if, say, Tartarus' kingdom were to be moved right next to Equestria while the same castle is being used? The gates can be placed in the lower most dungeons?" He asks. She nods her head.
"It sounds like a lovely idea, let us try that, though, it would be possible to merge the castles together, and as such, the lands would too. You could always make the hollow guards be stationed at night when Luna rules, no?" She asks. Spike nods his head.
"Good idea. Let's go with it, I guess." He says as he slips his rings on, but has a little trouble with the crown.
"Let's try it this way, Ulquiorra." Luna says softly as she changes the crown into a necklace that rests around his neck and atop of his flat chest. He nods his thanks to her, and she smiles back lovingly. He looks back at his mother, who seems to be smiling at him approvingly.
"So, I as right when I guessed that you are their sub?" She asks. He blushes faintly, he seemed to be doing that more and more for some reason that keeps escaping him.
"I...I think so, it is still confusing to understand emotions when regaining my old memories..." He mutters out softly. She nods her head knowingly.
"That is just fine. We all have our times of being the sub and dom, but you seem to be caught in a loop, what with Luna and Dash always being the dominant of the three of you, let alone you still have a few more to gain..." She mumbles the last part out, but doesn't go unnoticed by Luna who mentally cheers for her bonded before inwardly growling in anger as to how she can't just have him and Dash to herself, she then hears Nightmare agreeing with her, and the two make a pact to keep what's theirs safe at all costs.
"R-Right, well um...so how do I do this er, merging thing?" He asks. Celestia places a hand up to her chin.
"You know, I am not exactly sure. Perhaps you should simply order it out?" She asks. He nods his head and holds his fist close to his chest as he closes his eyes.
"I order you to merge the kingdoms of Equestria and Tartarus together!" He orders out. The ring glows faintly, before the castle shifts and changes into something else. The ground shakes and quakes as the landmass quadruples in size. He opens his eyes and stares at the new thrones made of obsidian that stand tall next to Celestia's as Luna's had changed into a mixture of obsidian and white marble.
The moon seems to turn blood red as the gates symbol forms on it as the gates themselves form there, the winds scream as faint howls and roars echo through the night that sends fear into the ponies hearts. Large beasts of various shapes and sizes walk through the walls and into the room, their moon white masks making them feel a deep sense of dread.
The beasts stomp about the room and all seem to converge around Spike before kneeling down onto one of their many appendages as if bowing to their king. He looks around coldly over the sea of hollows he once called food before waving an arm through the air to the side.
"Protect the kingdoms!" He orders and they all vanish in bursts of static. He looks around the much large room before another necklace forms onto his neck that is just shorter than his Equestrian regalia necklace. Lifting it up he notes that strange looking dragon with a mask over it's face as it looks to be judging him while holding two swords that resemble the very cleavers he had just received today.
He looks up at his mates who look at him in acceptance while his mother approval and his sister and her friends fearfully. Moving across the large room he stalks towards the large looking throne with two slots in the arms. The seat is cushion with what appears to be a cotton pillow that those humans in japan used for sitting.
He turns around and sits into his throne where he feels a jolt of electricity shoot through him and his new cleavers to form in the slots with cloths that attach to the cloths that are around his forearms like bandages. He nods his head light and when he moves his arms around, the cloths detach from each other as to not hinder his movements. He inwardly grins like a little child at this new development.
Looking upon the others, he smirks down at them as he rests his right cheek onto his right fist. Dash notes the eerie resembles to her mate and that Aizen bastard, but soon gets rid of that thought as a new thought of how attractive her mate now looks as he takes his titles. She feels her groin light with an inner flame that only he and Luna can quench.
Luna stares up at her mate lovingly while Nightmare screams for her to jump him and ride him for the rest of the night and to never let him go. She silently agrees with her, but chooses to wait for the right moment, as she also desires to have Dash to herself too. She begins making strange plans while Nightmare helps.
Celestia smiles at her son in love and happiness, but knows that when the time comes, he will be ready to run the three kingdoms and she may finally take her place by his side as one of his bonded as well, as is how it was foretold, and as is how it shall be. She knows that she will remain by his side for eternity, one way or another.
Spike rises to his feet and stretches before smiling down at his mates and they smile back as the move towards him. They sit in the thrones around his with Luna's next to Celestia's and Dash next to his while they wait for the solar goddess to take her own throne, which she does.
He sits back into his throne with a smile still gracing his lips, but soon grows confused as more thrones sit around them all with various symbols that eludes him, but makes Luna and Celestia stare in shock. One such symbol being Nightmare Moon's cutie mark. Nightmare howls in laughter inside Luna's head, and she too, joins in the laughter. The two had been growing closer and closer during their isolation on the moon, so much so, that they agreed to share their bonded if and when Nightmare gained her own body.
Spike looks on and smiles as the sun rises, giving light to a new day in a "new" kingdom that he now helps rule, let alone his own subjects. But he smiles more, thinking about what lays ahead for him and his mates lives from this day onward.

What did ya'll think? Should I have uplayed it or downplayed it? And before the flamers freak out, I made the beginning the way I did because I felt it was the best way to start it off, and I finally had an excuse to start the sexual part of this story!
Chapter 5: Just one of those days...!
EQUESTRIA'S ESPADA
CHAPTER FIVE: "Just one of those days...!"
By, Vladimir
0o0o0o0o0o0o0
Spike sits in his throne listening to the reports of the Captain of Celestia's Army; Shining Armor. His brother. He rests his head against his fist as he stares down at the Captain with a bored and tired expression. It had been a month since he had regained himself as well as his titles along with becoming "Prince of Equestria and Tartarus". Since he had merged the two kingdoms together, the landmass as Equestria had doubled as a whole, while his power had grown.
He had also given Luna and Celestia his "go ahead" in teaching their ranks some of his hollow and shinigami abilities. The Solar Force -as he calls it- holds the Shinigami powers while the Lunar Force holds the Arrancar powers. His holllows still outclass both forces, however, as they are mostly Vasto Lorde's and Adjucha's instead of the traditional hollow or Gillian's. Both forces essentially being "Vizords", much like that Kurosaki boy was and probably still is.
"And so I ask you to please keep the hollows at bay, Prince Ulquiorra." Another thing that had happened. He had taken his old name back, but used his "new name" as a sort of pet/nick name for those close to him to use as they so wished.
"I see. I will have my hollows positioned held back and dispatched with the Lunar Force as they are so close to each other. Now, please, continue." He asks. Shining turns and looks to Celestia and Luna with a bow.
"I have a request to have a Vice-Captain as to keep the peace for when I am not here." He asks. Celestia nods her head and he continues, "I would also like to have myself tested to see if I still hold the honor of being the Solar Force Captain." He states calmly despite the odds. Luna blinks with surprise while Celestia nods her head softly.
"Very well. With whom do you wish to test against?" She asks with a knowing look in her eye. Shining Armor points at him while still staring at her. She nods her head. "Very well." She looks to Spike who nods his head lightly and rises from his throne.
"When do I "test" you, Shining Armor?" He asks. Shining Armor pulls his straight sword from it's sheath and holds it in a firm grip with both hands, the tip pointed at him with an odd shine to it.
"Now would be fine." Shining states seriously. He nods his head and draws Murcielago before booming behind the white stallion and swings to the side. Shining blocks his swing and makes a swift twirl of the blade, making him move his head to the side before delivering a devastating kidney kick sending the pony captain into the air.
Shining spins through the air and stops against a column, he pushes off the column down at Spike who blocks his sword with his palm before pushing the stallion back onto the floor. He slides across the garnet floor and into a wall where he swiftly rolls to the side as Spike stabs his Zanpakuto down into the floor making it shudder and blocks raise into the air. He whips Shining into the air with a wing tip and booms above him with his fist covered in a violet orb.
He thrusts his first upward sending out a Bala that Shining cuts in half with his sword only to had Spike an inch from his face with his hand charging another one. His eyes widens in surprise before he narrows them and stabs his sword down onto the ball making it explode prematurely and throw them both back into different walls.
Shining points his sword forward at Spike and a blue hue forms around the blade. He swings his sword around sending out blue waves of energy that fly towards the him. Spike points his first forward and fires multiple Bala 's that take out the waves of energy but soon his eyes widen as Shining holds just a hilt and guard while the blade has become ice shards that circle around his form. His eyes narrow and he points a finger out towards Shining.
A small ball of green energy forms and soon becomes a Cero that roars towards the Captain. Shining moves his hand forward making the ice shards make a barrier before him that block the attack before swinging his arm sideways making the shards jet at Spike who booms behind the Captain and kicks him into the floor. Spike then lands onto Shining's back with his knee's making the Captain cough up some blood before he booms away as the ice shards go to impale him multiple times.
He booms above Shining and fires another Bala only for it to be ripped apart as the ice shards flow like rivers after him. He brings his wings around himself and allows the shards to circle him before spreading them causing massive gusts of wind to knock them all away. He flaps them downward making Shining fly into a wall and the shards to be formed back into their blade form on the hilt and guard.
He lands softly and sheaths Murcielago and pulls Shining up to his feet. "You did a good job in hold your own against me at 5%, but it will have to do. You will be judged by the Princesses." He says before using Sonido to appear in his throne and remains silent. Shining looks to the Lunar and Solar Princesses who have impassive looks on their faces before nodding their heads.
"You shall keep your title as my Solar Force Captain. Your Vice-Captain is to be handpicked by us and tested by you. The reports shall be on your desk on Monday. Dismissed." Celestia orders out and Shining nods and flashes away. The three sigh in relief as the sun looks to be at the center of the sky.
Luna stands up and stretches in relief as her back pops, Celestia does the same while Spike rises to his feet with his hands in his pockets, remaining quiet. Luna notices this and looks to her mate with a worried look, "Is something the matter, Spike?" She asks gently. He closes his eyes and sighs sadly.
"I miss her..." He says softly. Luna nods her head lightly, a sad look in her eye.
"I do too, but she'll be coming here soon, don't worry too much love. Besides, she would most likely chew me out for not making you smile." She says with a slight joke in hopes of lightening the mood.
It works.
Spike smiles softly. "She would chew you our, and then have you moan her name for hours on end." He says teasingly. She blushes but nods all the same.
"Very true indeed." She tells him softly. Celestia chuckles lightly making the two blush.
"Last time she chewed you out, sister, I had to place silencing spells all around the castle just so all of Canterlot wouldn't wake up!" She laughs out. Luna does an amazing impression of a tomato as Spike snickers lightly, earning him a playful slap on the arm before he is pulled into Luna's arms making him blush heavily.
"And what are you snickering about, my little Spiky~" She purrs in his ear making him shiver slightly. His blush spreads across his face as he feels his body turn into jello.
"N-Nothing, my lovely Luna...!" He protests weakly. She giggles melodiously and plants kisses along his neck making him groan softly as jolts of pleasure move up his spine. She giggles softly and rubs his hips gently.
"Oh really? Is that a lie I hear?" She purrs out seductively making him shudder in giddy delight.
"N-...y-yessss." He groans out softly as she sucks on his neck gently biting him. He moans weakly as she digs her fangs into his neck making his knees buckle. She skillfully catches him and holds him bridal style. He blushes heavily and pants slightly as his heart beats reatically. Luna kisses him softly. He eagerly reciprocates the action and whimpers softly when the contact breaks. She giggles and wags a finger in his face.
"Horny for me already are we?" She teases. He huffs indignantly and looks away blushing like a mad man.
"Not my fault that you and Dash are such teases. Treating your Sub in such a way. It should be a crime!" He exclaims. She rolls her eyes and giggles softly and kisses him deeply making his hear flutter.
"I'll be sure to kiss you more often, my little bat~" She coos. He sighs softly in content as her arms tighten around his form.
"I should chase you around with Murcielago, but this is rather nice...." He mutters out. She nods her head softly and smile gently down at her mate.
"Maybe I could cheer you up~" She purrs. The blush seems to be strong with him because that's all that he seems to be doing lately.
"I...I dunno...." He says. She nuzzles him gently.
"Come on, it'll be fun~" She says softly. He sighs and nods his head.
"Fine...!" He says. She grins like a child who had just got the go ahead to buy er favorite candy. They appear in their room -her old room- and drops him onto their massive bed, she kisses him deeply, hungrily as she opens his shirt and pins him down. He blushes more as she pulls his pants off and tosses them across the room. She unbuttons her top and lets it drop down to the floor along with her pants.
Crawling onto the bed she moves towards him with a hunger in her eyes that apparently only he can satisfy. She kisses him deeply and longingly and he kisses her back just as deeply and lovingly as their lust and passion for each other heats their cores up to raging fires that only the other can quench. They part from one another and stare into each other's eyes.
Luna smirks slightly as she sits up in his lap, her large, round firm breasts bounce slightly. "You like~?" She slurs out. He nods gently as his eyes are glued to them.
"I like them a lot." He says weakly as he groans softly when she rubs his crouch tenderly. He brings his hands up to her breasts and squeezes them gently. She moans softly as her hand snakes down his boxers and wrap around his flaccid member. He grunts and his hands squeeze tighter around her breasts. He pinches her nipples between his fingers and twists them lightly making her moan louder.
He pulls on them making her moan louder and her legs to twitch. He smirks and sits up slightly and bites down onto her now firm nipples, making her moan and her back to arch. She rubs the back of his head and helmet as she presses his head up to her breasts. He kisses her breasts all over before pulling her close and biting her neck and sipping her sweet blood. She moans his name softly and holds his head closer to her neck as he drinks from her.
She throws her head back and pants heavily. He removes his fangs from her neck and kisses her chin lovingly. She looks down at him with a hungry look in her eye that makes him nervous. She pins him down to the bed and straddles his stomach where she then chomps into his neck with her fangs, making him whimper softly in a strange sense of pleasure. He moans weakly as she drinks from him and rubs his prick with two fingers making him moans louder.
His hands snake up her toned belly and down onto her hips as he feels his boxers leave him and his member being pumped full of blood. He groans as her fangs move deeper into his neck making him pant heavily. She pulls her fangs from his neck and sits up on his stomach and gazes down at him lovingly, but underneath the loving gaze is a longing lustful desire that speaks to him.
She kisses his jaw gently and slides down his body but stops as her womanhood rubs up against his meat pole. She shivers with delight and moves upward as she grabs his hardened prick and guides it into her depths where they both gasp as pleasure shoots through their bodies. She feels his meat pole twitch inside her making her moan.
He grunts as she rolls her hips and her walls enclose around him becoming tighter and tighter. She raises herself up just before his head before slamming back down making them grunt in pleasure. She rises halfway up his rod before slamming back down. She does this repeatedly making him groan alongside her moans of pleasure. He places his hands onto her hips gently and thrusts upwards as she comes down.
They collide for minutes before she rolls her hips once again and places her hands onto his chest as she balances herself atop of him. He grunts as he feels her tighten more around him, her walls making him twitch involuntarily. He grunts as he thrusts a few times before being stopped by her hands pinning him down more, her hips rolling quickly and her walls squeezing like a hand. He moves his hands up and squeezes her breasts tightly making her back arch and to rise and fall once again.
Hours seem to pass as they share their love with each other before Spike feels himself nearing hi climax. He places his hands onto her shoulders as he sits up while staying inside her and kisses her deeply. She kisses him deeply back and feels him twitch and knows he is about to release.
Parting, she gives him a nod as if saying "go-ahead" as she too feels her release imminent. He grunts and bites his lip as he lays back and holds her hips down and thrusts upwards, shooting the first wave of his seed deep inside her. She moans his name loudly as her climax racks her body at the same time and bites down onto his neck. He moans and keeps firing his seed deep into her womb till it begins to overflow and flow out of her womanhood into thin white waterfalls.
As they come down from their orgasmic high, they pant heavily and hold onto each other on their bed and close their eyes. She moves her face into the nape of his neck as she holds him close to her form and he has his arms wrapped around her neck, trying to get as close to his lover as he possibly can.
Spike opens his eyes and stares into Luna's cyan orbs that hold love and devotion for only him. He smiles up at her while she smiles tiredly down at him. Laying his head atop of her left breast, he clings to her form like a lifeline and listens to her rhythmic heart beat in sweet silence.
"That was amazing, love." She whispers to him gently. He nods his head softly and looks back up into her eyes.
"Yeah" He says breathlessly. "It was...!" He looks over at the alarm clock on hi side of the bed and wonders as it reads "1:35 pm", "What time did we come in here, love?" He asks. She gives him a sultry look.
"You in me, or us in her~?" She slurs out seductively. He rolls his eyes.
"Your encourigeable, I mean when did we come in here. We've been doing this for what feels like hours..." He mutters out cutely. She huffs softly but smiles down at him.
"I used that time spell around the room so that we could rut for however long we want to, while it would really only be an hour in the real world." She tells him softly. He nods his head and groans as he rubs his face gently.
"I just remembered we have to prepare for some sort of dance..." He sighs out. Luna sits up immediately making him whimper softly from the loss of his favorite pillows.
"The Gala!? We have to prepare for that now!?" She exclaims. He nods his head in confusion.
"Well, yeah, it's a few months away sure, but we have to send out that tickets." He tells her. She raises an elegant brow.
"Ticket's? Ticket's for what?" She asks. He sighs.
"For ponies and other races to come to the Gala. Apparently you need one to come..." He says softly. She nods her head dumbly.
"Things really have changed since my exile, hm?" She asks sadly. He sits up and wraps his arms around her waist and gently kisses her cheek.
"Hey, don't feel bad, it wasn't your faults, it was the power that corrupted you two..." He tells her and Nightmare gently. She nods her head and gives him a small, loving smile.
"Thank you for accepting both me and Nightmare, love. It means a lot to us both." She tells him softly. He smiles broadly and kisses her lips gently.
"How could I not? You, Dash and Night are all mine, my perfect angels! I love the three of you so much and I would never imagine hurting any of you." He tells her softly. She giggles lightly.
"Even if Dash was this Grimmjow male you had spoke about?" She asks sweetly. He nods his head.
"Yes, I love her just as much as you two, that'll never change!" He states firmly, his words laced with love and devotion. He moves off the bed and pulls his cloths on. While buttoning up his coat he turns to Luna and see's that she has her hand over her belly and a blue mist covering it gently as well making him wonder what she is doing. "What exactly are you doing, love?" He asks. She flashes him a smile.
"Making sure I don't get pregnant yet, unless you want children now?" She teases. He shakes his head softly.
"Not right now, perhaps later on, say when we are married?" He asks with a grin. She freezes up after the process, and his words, sink in. She turns to stare at him with wide eyes.
"M-Married? Us? When?" She asks. He gains a thoughtful look.
Not exactly sure, but I can tell it's going to happen at some point." He teases. She grins and winks at him.
"Just remember to say "yes" when I ask you, got it love?" She says. He blushes and nods his head gently.
"R-Right, I'll be sure to say that when you ask me. But what if I ask you, Night and Dash first?" He whines. She gives him a flat look.
"Because we'd beat you to it, and I did just get you to agree to say yes when the question was asked~" She states. His eyes widen as his blush thickens, before giving her a mock glare.
"I can't believe you did that!" He says with a smile. She giggles and pulls her cloths on and stretches and turns to him with a cute look on her face.
"Well I did, deal with it~" She orders before appearing behind him and wrap her arms around his waist possessively. "And before anyone asks, you, Night and Dash are mine ~" She purrs out making him shiver with a happy smile gracing his lips. He nods gleefully.
"I'm fine with that~" He purrs out and kisses her gently. She chuckles softly before returning the kiss, tightening her grip, before they both appear in the throne room before Dash and the rest of the elements. They part and look towards their friends and shared mate.
"Welcome back sister and Prince Ulquiorra, I take it that your consummation went well?" Celestia jokes. He blushes heavily as Luna grins wolfishly.
"Definitely, I even managed to get him to say "yes" when the "question" was to be popped up." She states boldly, making him blush harder. Dash snickers before snaking her hands onto his hips and plants a kiss onto his lips as her now dark red tinted eyes stare into his green eyes with mirth.
"Does that "yes" apply to me too~?" She teases. He nods weakly as he enjoys the closeness of his mates and himself and leans back into Luna as he feels her arms wrap around his chest so Dash and grab more of him for herself. She nips his neck gently. "Good, I wouldn't want to have to steal you from my lovely Luna and her to steal you from me, the same goes for you Night!" Dash chirps out.
Luna giggles out, "She agree's with you Dash. She would hate to steal him from us when she wants all of us, just as I want all of you," She says softly. Spike stands between his mates and shivers slightly, their scents flow from them in waves that makes his heart beat grow faster and his head to grow light headed, and lays his head back against Luna's shoulder in delight.
"Thank you for coming, now if we could please stop arousing Spike, may I begin this "meeting"?" Celestia chuckles out. Luna and Dash flush, but don't separate from Spike, nor each other. She nods her head in thanks before smiling motherly, "I would like to invite yo five to the Gala as guests of honor! Rainbow Dash already has her ticket from Spike she received a week ago." Celestia states.
"The Gala!?" The five ponies exclaim. But soon they look at Dash who holds up a golden ticket with a wide grin.
"It pays to be fucking the Prince of Equestria and Tartarus!" She exclaims. Spike raises a brow.
"I thought I was just made into your fiance?" He asks. She rolls her eyes.
"Same damn thing. Now shut up!" she teases. He shakes his head with a smile on his face.
"Whatever you say, Dashy." He teases and then leans back into Luna once again and closes his eyes and listens to the ponies talk. Inwardly, he smiles at how close they had become along with how Nightmare Moon, the "Mare of Darkness" had became friends with Dash and a few of the other elements such as Twilight and oddly enough Fluttershy who has been helping his dark mares in understanding the times.
Luna's and Dash's arms tighten around him forcing him to open his eyes and look around confused. He see's everyone look at him, as if expecting him to do something. He raises a brow, "What? What's wrong?" He asks curiously. Luna smiles lightly down at him.
"We were wondering what our only Tartarus prince was going to contribute to the Gala, seeing as how your one of the top royal families of the world now. Well, the only one to be honest..." She tells him gently. He gives her a confused look.
"What do you mean? You, Dash and Night are part of it too you know, I mean seeing as I'm stuck with your three for eternity now." He teases. He then looks to Twilight and Shining Armor. "And their technically my brother and sister so they are part of it too." He then looks to Celestia and smile happily up at her. "And then there's Celestia who has been like a mother to me all my "new life", so obviously she's part of the Tartarus royal family!" He exclaims letting some of his childish side out.
Dash and Luna grin, "Don't forget the children that will happen too you know!" They tease making him sputter and flush at being caught off guard, but soon smiles lightly.
"That's true, but let's hope children will happen after we're married, right?" He laughs out nervously. They give him flat looks that makes his eyes widen. "S-Seriously? You both want children now!?" He squeaks out. They burst out laughing and shake their heads lightly.
"No, do you think I'm even mature enough to be a mother? Fuck that! I'll wait a good few decades before even thinking that!" Dash exclaims.
"I have to agree, though on a much shorter time than a "good few decades", maybe a decade by who knows? Oh, and Nightmare doesn't really care, she just wants to have a body again." Luna says with a shrug. He nods his head and sighs in relief.
"Phew! I was worried there for a second." He says still slightly nervous. They deadpan at him.
"We could tell." They say at the same time. He huffs indignantly before grinning at his friends.
"Well, what do you all think?" He asks. They nod their heads and Celestia smiles motherly down at him, which for some reason makes his heart melt but not for the original purpose. He goes to wonder why he felt that way towards his mother figure, but is brought out of his thoughts as the throne room doors burst open revealing a strange looking creature that reminds him of an overgrown chicken wearing people clothes.
"Ah, Lord Ironclaw. To what do I owe this visit?" Celestia asks. Ironclaw sends a glare at Celestia and glares hatefully, making Spike, Dash and Luna reach for their swords.
"As if you don't know." He growls out as other strange looking chickens enter the room, all having swords in their claws. The Lunar and Solar Force's rush around the ponies and draw their swords. Shining has a blue hue to his blade while the Lunar Force Captain -Captain Blood Moon- holds her curved sword with a pink glowing ball around her fist. Ironclaw glares madly at the ponies. "It was in the treaty that all new beings are to be shown to the council and any kingdoms to be shown to the council as well!" He snarls.
"I have upheld the treaty that I and my sister made over a thousand years ago with all the forefathers of the countries. And the kingdom had been claimed by the rightful owned." Celestia says calmly as she looks down at the chicken-man with a passive gaze.
"Bullshit!" He spats as he draws points a talon at her, rage bubbling in his eyes. "You were planning to use this new kingdom to gain more power, you sow! Don't think I don't know what you and your whore sister are doing!!" He snarls out. Spike releases a low portion of his spiritual pressure that roars in everyone's ears as it bares down upon the griffin's and ponies alike. Only Luna and Dash and Celestia are unaffected by the fluctuation of power.
"I would appreciate it if you would refrain from calling my Lunar princess a whore and my "mother" a sow. You trash." Spike says calmly and evenly as his eyes hold great anger in them. Ironclaw looks up at Spike from down on his knee's with wide eyes as he feels all hope leave him completely. Spike reigns in his spiritual pressure and looks impassively down at the griffin with cold, angry eyes.
"You, what are you?!" He gasps out.
"I am Prince Ulquiorra Spike Cifer of Equestria, Primera, and the Lord of Tartarus. You WILL show your respect to those higher than you. Trash." He says evenly making Ironclaw fear him even more. He summons his white cleaver -the cleavers had changed to white and obsidian black after his first use of them- and points it at the griffin's throat. "State your business, trash, and I might let you keep your pitiful head." He says as if it were an everyday occurrence.
Ironclaw growls. "I am Prince Ironclaw! You will show me respect you MONSTER!" He roars out as he moves back and his guards charge forward, stabbing their swords at him. The ponies gasp and cover their eyes, but soon hear the sounds of liquid splattering and bodies being ripped apart. They open their eyes and stare in horror, along with the rest of the griffins, as hollows stand before Spike devouring the griffin guards in a few bites before vanishing in thin air.
"What were those!?" Ironclaw squawks out. Dash smirks evilly and barks in sick, manic laughter.
"Those were hollows you shit stain! Do you think you little weaklings could harm one of them, let alone us? And Spike no less? He could rip you apart with little effort!" Dash laughs out as she steps on the head of a dead griffin, making it explode gore. Ironclaw stares wide eyed at how easily this...thing crushed one of his guards head and didn't even bat an eye. She gives him a sick feral grin, "Wanna find out what it feels like to lose your balls, shit head?! Then yah better stop staring unless you plan on dying!" She purrs out, a feral gleam in her eye that begs Ironclaw does the smart thing and turns away quickly.
"You monsters! You freakish monsters! You murdered my men! This is seen as an act of war!!" He roars out fearfully, most likely hoping to make the two monsters before him cower in fear.
"Psh, another fucking war. Not like we fought one of those before. Besides, you griffin's don't have any sort of power over death, unlike us!" Dash barks out in laughter. One of the guards catches her eye and she looks at her with a raised brow, "What the fuck do yah want?" Dash snarls out. The griffin steps towards her, his sword drops to the ground as he stares wide eyed at her.
"Is that you, Rainbow Dash?" He asks. Dash raises a brow.
"The hell are you talking about?" She asks. The griffin removes his helmet to reveal his green head feathers making her eyes widen slightly.
"Uncle Mark?" She asks. The griffin nods his head.
"Yes, it's me, but, what happened to you?" He gasps out. Dash looks away with a huff.
"I remembered who I was. I'm a Hollow, hence why I have this bone collar around my element." She says while motioning a thumb towards her hollow piece. "And I got these fangs from Ulquiorra." she states as she sends Spike a smile. He smiles back with a faint blush. Mark nods his head before picking his sword up and sheathing it.
"I see, then as on my own accord, I would like to ask that me and my family be welcomed into Equestria and out of Griffin Poverty." Mark says to Spike, who nods his head curtly. Luna does the same while Celestia flashes a smile as her answer.
"You and your family are accepted and will full citizenship here in Equestria." Celestia says with a motherly tone. Ironclaw glares at Mark with hate filled eyes.
"You TRAITOR! YOU DARE TURN YOUR BACK ON GRIPHANY?!" He roars. Mark glares at Ironclaw and spits in his face.
"I do, because Griphany doesn't deserve my allegiance as it has strayed from what it's forefathers had wanted for her people! At least in Equestria I can raise my family the way they should be, not bred to be soldiers!!" Mark roars out as he spins his sword around in a circle. He gets into a readied stance on the off chance that Ironclaw were to have his guards attack or if he himself was to attack. Ironclaw growls and charges with his sword drawn.
Mark spins his sword upwards blocking the griffin's downward strike and kicks Ironclaw away and onto the floor. He charges and jumps up, his sword pointed down. He is blocked by the griffin guards and thrown back, but is caught by Spike who places him back onto his paws. Turning to look at the griffin prince and hi guards, he raises his cleaver and points it at them,
"I will now have you attack my citizens. Leave now, or be destroyed!" He says firmly. Ironclaw must not have a firm hold on reality as he snaps his talons, and his platoon force of guards charge towards Spike, swords pointed forward. "Wrong move." He says lowly as he jumps to the side as Blood Moon fires a [i[Cero that kills the griffins, turning their upper halves into ash. Ironclaw stares wide eyed as his soldiers lower halves drop to the ground with a sick, squishy THUD!
Ironclaw stares in horror as blood gushes from the lower halves as the legs twitch. He steps back before glaring hatefully at the group before him. "This means war!" He roars out before going to flee, but is stopped as a hand grips his shoulder tight enough to shatter it. Looking over his shoulder his eyes widen in fear as Dash grins darkly and pushes him down.
"You know I still have to get my family you shit!" Mark roars. Spike nods his head and snaps his fingers making a blue portal form next to him, he turns to Mark.
"This will take you to your family and bring you back here. Go quickly." He orders before turning away and waving a hand. Hollows appear and devour the bodies let behind and then vanish. Mark nods and goes to move towards the portal, but Spike stops him. "I'll come with you, on the off chance something happens. Dash, Luna, make sure this trash doesn't get out of the castle until we return." He says.
"You got it big guy!" Dash laughs out as she kicks Ironclaw into a wall. Luna snaps her fingers making cuffs and chains keep the griffin prince stuck to the wall. Spike nods his head and moves through the portal with Mark.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0
He and Mark walk through the portal and he looks around, his eyes scanning for a family of griffin's. He looks to Mark and raises a brow, "Where is your family, Mark?" He asks. Mark points up towards a large mansion that has guards surrounding it. He nods his head and grabs Mark's shoulder. "Remain calm. This might hurt." He says.
"What might hu-" He is cut off as Spike pushes off the ground and his vision blurs as all his blood vessels seem to explode all at once, making him feel fire coursing through his veins. He releases a cry of pain and surprise as they move past the sound barriers in point three seconds before coming to a stop making his body jolt and flop around like a rag doll.
"That." Spike says and drops Mark onto his back as he walks towards the platoon of griffin's currently trying to get into the mansion with a ramming device onto the large doors. He pulls Murcielago from it's sheath and with the flick of his wrist, he sends a gust of sharp wind that slices a few griffin's in half. The rest turn around and raise their swords. They charge at him, but are stopped as a voice cuts through the air, making them grin viciously.
"Father!" A woman's voice screams out. He looks up at an open window and see's a rather busty griffiness wearing rags that barely cover her well toned body. Her head feathers are light purple and her eyes are golden. "Father!!" She screams out, before an arm warps around her throat and a knife is pointed at her chest.
"Stand down! Or the lioness dies!" The griffin roars down to Spike. His eyes scan the situation, and he lowers Murcielago before putting it into it's sheath making a CHINK as it slides in all the way. Griffin's rush and surround him and Mark with swords and spears pointed at their bodies. He remains calm as Mark stays on his back on the ground unconscious. The griffin holding the lioness grins darkly as he grabs her let breast making her whimper softly.
Her pleading eyes reach his, but soon her eyes grow wide and their color seems to darken as a familiar spiritual pressure roars to life from inside her. His eyes widen as she is surrounded by a golden light that burns the griffin groping her to ash. Mark opens his eyes and they grow wide as he stares up at his daughter as she grows taller and gains features similar to Dash's.
On her back forms a familiar crescent axe, and black hair moves down over her left eye as strange white stuff flows and forms around a hole where her eye once was. She opens her eye and flashes a toothy grin as she swings her axe down from over her shoulder, making the whole side of the mansion burst into rubble. She appears before Mark and stabs her hand through a griffin's head as she laughs maniacally.
She spins around and uses the body as a shield before sticking her tongue out and fires a golden Cero that destroys a few buildings. She then swings her axe to the side and cleaves four griffin's at once as her laughter sends absolute terror into the rest of the griffin's.
"Haha! I live again! The strongest Espada!!!!!!" She roars out as she throws her axe and cleaves more griffin's in half before grabbing the chain and pulling it back into her hand. Looking down she frowns as she see's her fathers fearful look. "Don't look at me like that! I'm just having a bit of fucking fun is all...." She huffs out and places the axe back onto her back. Looking over to Spike she flashes a grateful smile. "Guess I have to thank yah, huh, Ulquiorra?" She asks.
"It's Spike now, Nnoitra." He says with a small smile making her grin.
"Holy shit you can smile! And it's Gilda now, not Nnoitra. Besides, I- " Gilda is cut off as a woman's cry pierces the air making her head whip around. A griffin swings his sword down onto a mother griffin and two little ones. She snarls and booms before the affending griffin, his sword shatters against her breasts. Her grin widens and becomes unholy. "Look at that, my boobs are stronger than steel! Ha! That's rich!" She barks out before glaring down at the now pissing-himself-griffin and back hands him to the side.
She see's his legs wide open and grins viciously. She walks towards him, swaying her hips in a seductive way no doubt arousing as well as terrifying the griffin. She gains a maddening glint in her eye as she brings her foot up, and stomps right onto his crotch. His crotch explodes as his internal organs sprew from his mouth as his head explodes in a comedic manner. Lifting her foor up, she snickers.
"Awe, looks like there's gonna be one less griffin running around without a head or jewls!" She laughs out before looking over at the the lionesses. "You okay, ma? Sis's?" She asks. Her mother looks horrified while her sisters nod their heads after losing what little lunch they had in their stomachs. "Good." She looks back to Spike and raises a brow. "Got a way out of this shit hole of a country, Spike?" She asks.
"Yes." He says as he snaps his fingers, making a purple purple form. She blinks in surprise, before grinning widely.
"That's cool." She says as she walks over to him, swaying her hips. "You know, it's customary for a lioness to go after a strong mate~" She purrs. He raises a brow.
"If you want me, you'll need to talk to Dash, Luna, and Nightmare Moon. They decide what happens." He tells her as he walks through the portal. Gilda stares wide eyed.
"Dash?!" She exclaims before grabbing her family and rushing through the portal after him.
0o0o0o0o0o0o0
He walks through the portal with a calm demeanor and is caught in a bone crushing hug between Luna and Dash. He opens his eyes and looks up at them with a small smile, before giving Dash a worried glance.
"What's the matter?" She asks.
He goes to answer, but a voice cut's him off, "No freaking way! Grimmjow!?" Dash freezes up and looks over to see Gilda, only it wasn't. It looked like a femal version of her old enemy and murderer, Nnoitra Gilga.
"Nnoi....tra?" She asks wide eyed. Gilda laughs.
"Nah, it's Gilda now. So, you'r Dash, eh? Figures." She says before shrugging as if the past didn't happen. Dash blinks in surprise.
"You aren't going to kill me like last time?" She asks. The ponies and griffin's stare wide eyed at the two as Gilda laughs harshly.
"Fuck that! We're best friends now, so what would I gain from killing yeh sorry ass? Besides, yah look good. Let alone you have him as your mate, lucky bitch..." She says while thumbing towards Spike, making him blush lightly. Dash grins widely.
"Oh that's rich! You like mine and Luna's Sub! Haha! That's awesome!" She laughs out before looking her friend up and down with a lustful gaze. "But I approve of you being part of the group!" She states. Luna nods her head while she gains a thoughtful look.
"Nightmare agree's with your decision Dash, as do I." She says with a wink. Gilda grins wolfish before appearing before them and wraps them up in a literal bone crushing hug. Spike's head, oddly, is stuck between her large breasts, not that he minds.
"Looks like yah got got four dominants now then, eh, Ulquiorra?" She teases. He nods his head lightly as she pulls it from between his new mate's giant melons.
"I suppose so. Though you are now part of our royal force, since you joined the "contract"." He tells her. She raises a curious brow as she looks down at her mates.
"Contract? For what?" She asks.
"For marriage, he has to say "yes" when one of us pops the question, and we all get stuck with him." Dash says in mock annoyance and mock eye roll. He huffs indignantly.
"Not my fault I was tempted by the Lunar Goddess of sex..." He mutters out, making Luna giggle and kisses his neck gently.
"Don't tempt me." She warns before moving away from her love as Dash does the same. Gilda smirks and snakes her long arms around his hips and pulls him close to her well made form.
"Tempt me as much as yah like, I'm sure you fucking huge!" She chuckles out. Luna and Dash gain dreamy expressions and drool slightly. Gilda's eye grows wide. "How fucking big?"
"16 inches!" They exclaim at the same time in excitement. Gilda stares dumbly down at her mates.
"Fuck that's big...but he's so short!" She states. Dash shrugs.
"Never underestimate short people, Gilda. Never make that mistake." She tells her friend as Luna nods her head lightly. Gilda looks back down at him with a sultry look in her eye.
"You better get ready to be dominated, big guy." She says seductively making him inwardly worry for his life for some reason.
"Ahem." A voice cuts through the air. They turn to Celestia who smiles softly. "Welcome to Equestria! I assume you are similar to Rainbow Dash and Spike?" She asks. Gilda nods her head.
"Yeah, I was rank "5" and killed Dash in out past lives before I myself was killed by that fucking Shinigami!" She growls out. Dash raises a brow.
"Ichigo killed you?" She asks.
"No, someone with spiky hair. Who killed you, by the way, Ulquiorra?" Gilda asks.
"Ichigo when he was possessed by his inner hollow. He became a fully fledged Vasto Lorde that was at Aizen's level of power." He says nonchalantly. Dash and Gilda stare wide eyed at him. "What?"
"...Damn." Gilda says softly as Dash nods her head. He shrugs his shoulders, and goes to speak, but a Solar Force guard bursts through the door.
"Ironclaw has escaped!"

Chapter 6: New Espada and New Power!
EQUESTRIA'S ESPADA
CHAPTER SEXTA: "New Espada and New Power!"
By, Vladimir
0o0o0o0o0
A month had gone by after Gilda had came to Equestria, a month since Ironclaw had flee'd the country and hasn't made a single move against them since. Spike had deduced that he was trying to buy his time and "lick his wounds" as it were.
There had been griffin raids or attacks, but all were ultimately stopped by Spike's hollows, or Spike himself as he was the most efficient for the missions. It came to his, Luna's and Celestia's understanding that a new group was needed to defend Equestria alongside the Force's and Hollows. Spike had made the offer of forming a new Espada group, called the "Espada Force" that followed the "ten" rule, but pseudo Espada's were allowed and needed on the off chance that the force was away.
Celestia has agreed but was surprised when Luna, Dash, Gilda and Spike himself signed up for the positions. They had held "competition's" to see who was to be what rank. As it turns out, Spike became the Primera, Gilda the Trecera, Dash the Quatra, Luna the Quinta and Nightmare as the Segunda -she had regained her body during that time period and gained her own Zanpakuto.
It became rather difficult at first with him being shared or fought over by his four mates, but they soon agreed to have him two at a time. It was actually funny, when Dash had to leave for Ponyville -he thought it was a stupid name too- Gilda went to live with her. They had found that they were swingers for each other, and so when they didn't have him, Luna or Nightmare to toy with, they would toy with each other.
And they got loud.
Spike had also set up a system for his Vasto Lorde Hollows to fuse with those who wished to join the Espada Force. He found it funny when Applejack asked to join it, but was ultimately declined when she and her friends, along with himself and his two goddesses, had to help save her farm from two idiotic, sexist pieces of trash who reminded him of those ponies who lived in Manehatten.
It had been a month as was already nearing Nightmare Night, which was oddly enough his favorite holiday of the year, and there was going to be a huge party at Ponyville for the princesses to welcome back Nightmare Moon and Luna. Along with welcoming the Hollows that were intelligent enough to become Arrancar.
Right now Spike sits in his throne waiting in giddy anticipation for Nightmare Night to arrive in two weeks as he moves around happily. Not many know it, but he was "born" on Nightmare Night and hatched on the same day, so in a way it was also his birthday, not that he ever really celebrated it.
He looks down and see's a mare with blue fur and moon dust mane and tail standing before him with a haughty expression. He raises a brow and glaces at the others who simply shrug as if to say "we-don't-even-know" before looking down at the mare as well. He clears his throat, "What can I do for you, miss..."
"Trixie Lullamoon, Prince Ulquiorra. I'm here to ask if I may become part of this "Espada Force"?" She asks. He grows interested. She has the build of a gifted unicorn with c-cupped breasts and somewhat round rump, flat toned stomach and well toned arms and legs. He can see that she has had to work for her earnings and she worked well. He nods his head lightly.
"What is your preference in magical ability?" He asks. She gives him a proud, broad smile.
"I am a show pony, and use illusion's to make my stories, "come to life" as they say. I have high capacities for changing objects and levitation along with sensory magic for when I had worked at a rock farm, which I had gained from rigorous weeks of training. I'm also a fast learner." She tells him proudly. He nods his head and looks her over.
"I see. You also have the build of speed and precision. Pick up that sword and show me your form." He states. Trixie nods her head and picks up a curved sword -katana- and holds it with one hand before twirling it with elegance and finesse. He nods his head before booming in front of her, his fist moving quickly at her face. She jumps back and swipes her sword upward and blocks his fist with the flat of the blade laying up against her arm.
He nods before kicking at her from the side and she rolls to the side before putting the tip of her blade up against his throat. He gains a pleased look in his eye before batting the sword away and punching at her faster than the eye can see. She ducks just in time before jabbing him in the side with the but of the hilt and then spin kicks him in the chest back away from her. Sliding to a stop, he nods his head.
"Very good. Not many are capable of accessing sensory abilities, it would seem yours is rather high, as I noticed you had your eyes closed during our spar." He compliments. A faint blush forms on her cheeks and she bows slightly.
"I had training when I was young in Taijustsu and Zangutsu along with training my senses and abilities to as far as I could. I still train when I have the time to sharpen my skills." She tells him. He looks at her in surprise.
"I see, so you can hold your own in a fist fight let alone with a sword. Interesting. Shall we test this training of yours?" He asks as he unsheathes Murcielago and holds it lazily. She nods before tossing the sword away. He raises a brow as she moves towards her cloth purse and reaches into it. His eyes widen as she puts her whole arm into it and pulls out a short-straight katana that is the size of her shin.
She grips the hilt and scabbard in a samurai stance before using her magic to enhance her muscles and dash forward. He raises Murcielago blocking her blade, but her strength manages to push him back slightly. He scans her for any faults and finds none as she soon kicks him in the side, making him stumble slightly, before stabbing at him repeatedly. He moves his head from side to side quickly before raising a palm, blocking it.
He soon grows surprised as the tip of the blade pierces his skin, not much, but enough to move through the first layer. His eyes narrow before he kicks it up just a notch . He sweep kicks at her hooves and she jumps before swinging upwards and she just barely manages to block before he booms behind her and slams his palm between her shoulder blades sending her flying towards a wall.
She spins around and lands onto the wall with such force it cracks. She pushes off the wall with her enhanced strength and speed, making her shoot at him. She swipes to the side which he blocks with the side of Murcielago before axe kicking her into the floor. She spins with her hooves flailing through the air as she uses her sword to spin her and her hand for balance.
He uses his forearm to block the kicks and notes that her strength seems to have doubled along with her speed. He backhand parries her last kick and she pushes herself into the air and spins before cleaving down with her sword. He side steps it and the blade misses him by an inch, cutting a small piece of his hair.
He kicks upwards sending her into the air, but she uses that to her advantage as she untangles the cloth around the hilt and throws the sword before cracking the cloth like a whip making it swipe at him. He uses the flat of his blade to block the sword and parries it before booming behind her and palm thrusting her into the floor once again. The princesses and Nightmare Moon watch in interest as he and Trixie fight, but to them it looks more like a destructive dance.
He lands only to block her high kick that would have slammed him in the face. He pulls her upward before gripping her by the throat and pins her down, making short walls of the floor to rise around her form. She kicks his side, knocking him off her before spinning around sending the blocks into the air. She palm thrusts the blocks at him which he calmly cuts in half. She then runs along the wall with her sword held like a dagger and jumps at him.
He spins to the side just barely getting his cheek cut and grabs her ankle. He swings her around and slams her into the floor making it crack . She kicks him in the chin knocking him back before pushing off the floor and flips through the air away from him. When landing she whips her wrist making strange triangular knives fly at him at high speeds.
He parries the knives barehandedly before rolling to the side as she throws her sword and pulls back on the cloth bringing it back into her hand. He stomps on the floor making large cubes rise up from it in a jagged line flowing towards her. She uses the cube beneath her feet to push into the air and throw more of those knives.
He booms around from side to side making the knives just miss him by a hair, before firing off a weak Bala that she cleaning cuts into multiple pieces that explode behind her, shaking the glass windows around the room. He watches in amazement as she becomes a blur and move before him ready to cleave his head off. He pushes himself back a couple inches letting the blade scream past his face before kicking her in the chin knocking her into the air.
Spinning around she sends down a barrage of those black knives down at him. Acting fast he folds his wings around himself before spreading them sending gusts of wind to knock the knives away and to send her through a column. Charging another Bala he allows it to be three times stronger than the first and fires it at her. Trixie pushes her self up into the air before twisting herself around the ball of energy and sends more knives at him.
He fires off weak Bala 's to counter the knives before swinging Murcielago upward, sending out a sonic boom shaped like a crescent moon that rips through the air at her. She mimics his movements and sends a blue version of the sonic boom that cuts through his and slams into his chest, exploding in an array of smoke.
His shirt is torn as he has a thin cut going across his chest. He brings his spiritual pressure up and points a finger at her.
"You did well, but if you can do this much, then you should be able to survive a Cero ." He says as he charge a green ball at the tip of his index finger before firing it. A thick green beam roars towards her and she points her own index finger at him and mimic's his attack. A blue Cero shoots out and collides with his, exploding. He nods his head with acceptance before sheathing Murcielago.
"You pass. Step forward and pick a Hollow Vasto Lorder to merge with you." He states. Trixie sheathes her sword and pants heavily as she releases her magic from her body. Moving towards him sluggishly she looks over the Hollows. She looks upon multiple Hollows with a slightly judging gaze before her eyes land on a Hollow that looks somewhat similar to a multi-tailed fox with large moon silver wings.
It's female and she grins softly, the Hollow seem's to grin back as it's masks teeth twitch upwards slightly. She notes that on it's forehead is a peculiar gem that reminds her of her horn and assumes it has an interesting reason for it. It's ears are sharp like horns by slightly wide like shields. Nodding her head she places her hand onto it's chest for some reason and the Hollow turns into moon silver tendrils that flow into her.
She gasps as a hollow hole forms in her abdomen the size of a fist. Her features change making her look more human and she gains her Hollow's wings and one of it's tails. Her horn shifts into that gen piece and forehead protector as her mask piece as her sword glows faintly before appearing across her lower back. She opens her now moon white eyes with small slit pupils with red rings around them in the shape of ovals.
She stands at 5' 10" and looks down at Spike with a thankful smile.
"Thank you, Prince Ulquiorra." She says with a bow. He bows back slightly and smiles back gently. Turning he booms back in his throne sitting calmly with his chest healed and clothes fixed, he and the room looking as if nothing had happened.
"You, Trixie Lullamoon, shall be given a rank depending on your power. You can even become a Pseudo Segunda or Primera if you are powerful enough." He states. She nods her head and allows her entire Spiritual Pressure to fill the room, the floor cracks and shatters as a few walls crumble and all the glass windows shatter into dust as she releases everything into the air. Spike, Nightmare and the Princesses grow surprised as she crosses into the Sexta rank before it skyrockets into the Quinto ranking.
He raises a hand signalling her to stop and she does. Giving her a slight grin, her says, "You shall be the Sexta Espada while holding Pseudo Quinto Espada ranking as well. Welcome to the Espada Force." He says warmly, his arms opened wide. She smiles widely and bows to him before Blood Moon walks up to her and ushers her out of the room towards the Espada Force's stationed in the dungeons just above the portal to the gates of Tartarus which rest on the moon.
Huffing in relief, Spike sits back in his throne, his shoulders sag slightly as he relaxes for the first time that day. Nightmare appears behind him and rubs his shoulders gently causing him to groan softly.
"Thanks, Night." He says to her as he places a hand atop of hers. She smiles loving down at him flashing her fanged teeth.
"No problem, my bat." She tells him. He chuckles lightly and looks up at her with admiration in his eyes.
"I'm glad you and Luna are here to keep me sane when politicians come by, or whenever these kinds of things happen." He tells her. She giggles melodiously and plants a kiss onto his lips lovingly as she places her hands onto his chest, pulling him closer to his throne and in turn, her.
"I aim to please you, my little bat~" She purrs out. He chuckles.
"You must really love to please me then." He teases. She gives him a hungry look that makes him whimper softly as his heart speeds up.
"Indeed I do, your just so....tasty~" She purrs out as she nips at his neck, making him whimper more.
"Does our little bat require us~?" Luna slurs out as she gives him bedroom eyes. Celestia giggles and rolls her eyes before standing to her hooves.
"Go and have your fun, I'll make sure to handle the politicians for a while." She says with a wink before walking out of the throne room and into the meeting room. Luna and Nightmare look down at him seductively, making him growl softly and rub their rumps. They shiver and grin down at him.
"Is our little bat going to use us~?" Nightmare mocks whimpers. Luna gains a pouting look.
"Did we do something wrong~?" She asks sexily.
He growls dominantly as he pulls them close to himself and they appear in their shared room. He moves and sits on the bed, gazing up at them.
"Strip for me." He orders. Luna and Nightmare giving him mock fearful looks that oddly arouses him even more. They slowly allow their hair to fall across their backs and shoulders, before letting their tops slide off their forms, exposing their large, perfect breasts. Their nipples hardening from a soft breeze. He picks up their scents and his green eyes slowly start to turn blood red as his teeth become fangs, much like Nightmare's own pair, his shadow begins to ripple as it grows across the wall behind him.
Nightmare inwardly screams for him to pin her down and ravage her to the rest of eternity, to force her to bare him children and stay by his side forever. While Luna inwardly longs to stay by his side forever and enjoy having a family with him and her mates.
They slowly take their sashes off and their puffy dancer pants drop to the dark purple carpet. They then slide their panties off and look down at him with cute expression's on their faces. He feels his arousal rise more and more and he orders them to get onto their knee's. They do as told and look up at him as he stands to his feet, and undoes his own sash and stands in his boxers as he had already removed his coat.
He sits back onto the bed and his mates scoot closer to him, making him inwardly long to shower their beautiful forms with his white hot seed. He thinks it over, and finds that he enjoys the idea of being in charge for a change, and his shadow seems to change into his Seguna Etapa form.
"What does Master wish of us?" They ask cutely. He thrums his fingers on his chin before grinning down at them.
"I want you to make me cum." He orders them. They nod their heads and pull his boxers off before both of them move in close and kiss his flaccid member, both stare up at him lovingly and longingly, their lust rolls off them in waves that just seems to make him desire them more than ever.
Luna lifts his member gently and licks from the base all the way up to the tip and flicks her tongue upward, as Nightmare licks the other side. They lick his member up and down making him stiffen more and more. He grunts softly as he reaches full mast and his prick twitches slightly. Nightmare nips at the tip gently as Luna sucks on his balls. He groans as Nightmare takes him into her mouth and hums, making her throat vibrate sending waves of pleasure crashing up and down his spine.
He groans and tilts his head back as She moves down all the way to his base and her tongue rubs along the bottom. Luna kisses his neck and nipping him a few times. He growls softly in pleasure and looks into her cyan orbs and kisses her hungrily as Nightmare bobs her head up and down in his lap.
She moans as he twitches in her throat giving her an odd sense of pleasure in knowing that he enjoys it. She slurps up his pre-cum as she moves up to the head, and gazes up at him lustfully. He groans in pleasure as Luna moves down next to her and licks the underside of his shaft as Nightmare sucks on his head. He groans more as he feels his orgasm nearing from his depths.
He looks down at them and they look up at him longingly, both wanting him to spew his seed all over them so they can lap it up. He grunts as his orgasm grows closer and closer. He gets to his feet and gives them a look. Nightmare wraps her fist around his member and pumps her fist quickly making him groan more.
His member twitches in her hand and his cum shoots out onto their naked forms in waves. They moan longingly and open their mouths sticking their tongues out catching most of his seed as the rest covers her breasts and parts of their faces. As the last drop comes out, Luna sucks him dry, before they lick each other clean. He stares down at them, his member getting stiffer, they get an idea and kiss each other sexily.
When they part a thin line of drool connects their tongues. They pant heavily as their loins yearn for his meat to fill them and pump them full of his seed. He growls lowly and in a quick movement faster than their senses could pick up, he pins them onto the bed by their chest's. He bares his fangs down at them as he releases a dominant snarl, and they both think of a large Obsidian Dragon baring down on them, claiming them as theirs.
And it excite's them even more.
He looks down their bodies. Their curves making him harder, and his lust for them to grow stronger and fiercer. He growls and moves before Nightmare and forcefully spreads her legs. She blushes heavily as he gazes down at her womanhood hungrily. He moves down and licks her slit, tasting her juices. He finds that their incredibly sweet and licks once again. Nightmare shudders in pleasure as Luna suckles on her right nipple, while tweaking the left.
Spike flicks his tongue against Nightmare's clit, making her pant out a moan as she fingers Luna's womanhood. The two vixens moan in pleasure as well as delight as their mate looks at them lustfully, hungrily as if he were going to eat them both. He sucks onto her womanhood as his tongue slides down her sheath and moves around. Her walls tighten around his muscle as she moans loudly, her back arching in pleasure.
He feels her tighten more and then spasm slightly. Her growls hungrily, desiring her to climax so he can taste her juices he so longs for. She screams his name as her orgasm racks her body in massive waves of pleasure as Luna moans his name as she has her orgasm as well. He slurps down her juices, and then slurps up Luna's juices. They pant heavily as they see dots and heads feel full of air.
He looks down at them as he feels himself losing control over his body as he pins Nightmare's wrist's down to the bed and hungrily kisses her as he holds himself back from ravaging her right there. She kisses him back, her hips bucking making her slit rub against the tip of his pole, desperate for him to ravage her.
When they part, they both have the same desire; to fuck like animals.
He slides his meat all the way into her, sheathing deep inside her making her whimper in pleasure and pain as his girth seems to double as he just seems to get harder. He pulls out to the head before slamming back into her depths making her gasp his name as he pounds her womanhood repeatedly, and roughly. He growls and bites her neck making her moan in delight as he pounds her.
She feels him twitch inside her making her gasp in surprise as he seems to grow. She whimpers in pleasure as he pounds into her harder and harder, her inner thighs turn slightly red from the friction and the strength he puts into fucking her. She wraps her legs around his hips and pulls him deeper into her depths making him grunt. She pants heavily as he pulls his fangs from her neck and stare into her cerulean orbs.
She whimpers as he places his now claws onto her breasts and gropes them roughly. She moans softly as Luna drinks from her neck wound and looks up at Spike lovingly. He feels his climax nearing, but pushes it back down and flips her onto her belly, where he grabs her hips and lifts her lower half into the air. She moves up onto her hands and knees and looks over her shoulder back at him.
He growls and shoves his member back into her folds and continues to rut her. She pants our a few moans before they lock lips, her back arching as he mindlessly ruts her like an animal. She feels her orgasm closing in and her walls tighten, or try to at least, around his meat pole.
He parts his lips against hers, and his tongue brushes against her closed lips. She gasps and his tongue slides into her mouth as he thrusts deeper and deeper into her. She moans into the his mouth as they make out hungrily. His claws grip tighter on his hips as he ruts her harder. She parts her mouth from his and screams in extasy as she climaxes. He bites her neck and pushes himself father into him, and releases his seed.
She moans as her body is wracked with pleasure as she feels his seed flow into her womb and overflow out onto the bed making deep white puddle of the white ooze. He pulls his fangs from her neck and licks her wounds gently. She collapses onto the bed tired from their activities. He pulls out of her and looks to Luna who pants heavily after orgasming multiple times watching him dominate Nightmare like an animal.
He crawls towards her on his claws and talons as his lower back gains a skeletal tail that lashes around in anticipation. He pushes her down onto her back gently and she blushes at how gentle he is being after what she had just witnessed. He bites at her neck gently as he uses her womanhood as his "swords" sheathe. He thrusts into her a few times before she feels her mind start to go blank. She feel's his fangs sink into her neck, and the imense pleasure course through her, but for some reason her mind goes blank as her instincts take control.
She places a hand onto his chest, stopping him and she pulls him out of her. He growls lowly in curiosity as she gets on her hands and knee's, and shakes her round rump in his face.
"Stick it in my ass." She pleads. He gains a feral grin as he moves up and moves his rod to her second hole and teases it. She whimpers softly as he pushes into her as it is her first time being anally rutted before. He grunts as he slams all the way in, making her throw her head up and scream in pleasure and pain as he fills her hole completely. He pulls out to the middle of his member before slamming back into her.
She gasps as the pain vanishes and leaves behind intense pleasure she had never experienced before. He thrusts into her more and more as his skeletal tail coils around her hips and lifts her into the air after turning her to face him. He growls loudly like a dragon claiming it's hoard as he bounces her up and down his member and thrusts every few seconds as to get her accustomed to it.
She wraps her legs around his hips as he bounces her harder and faster. Her inner walls tighten around him and he groans as she moans his name loudly, her head thrown back and her eyes closed tightly in pleasure.
He grunts as he feels his orgasm nearing once again and bounces her up and down much harder and faster than before as he sucks on her nipples, roughly biting them and grinding them between his sharpened fang like teeth. She screams into the air as she squirts her juices all over his belly. He growls in her ear as he bites down onto her neck, drinking from her as he shoots his white hot seed deep into her hole.
Her body convulses as pleasure crashes into her in waves. As they come down from their orgasm high, he lays her onto her belly and pulls out of her ass and gazes down at her and Nightmare. His mates panting heavily, trying desperately to regain their sense's as their vision is covered with black dots and their minds in a deep, unrelenting haze.
A few minutes pass before they regain control over their breathing and bodies and place their hands over their Nightmare's belly making sure she doesn't get pregnant yet. When the "deed" is done, they look up to Spike with loving eyes as he looks over them, his tail having receded and his eyes returning to their green color, panting heavily.
"That was...intense...!" Nightmare gasps out as Luna nods her head. Spike nods his head lightly, his panting having left him breathless.
"Yeah..." He says softly, before giving them aologetic looks.
"What's wrong, love?" Luna asks. He looks down slightly.
"I lost control over myself. I'm sorry..." He tells them. They raise their brows in confusion.
"Why? Who cares if you lost control! It was fucking awesome!!" Nightmare exclaims with a lucid smile gracing her lips. Luna nods her head in agreement. He stares at them wide eyed.
"And your both not the least bit worried about me losing control and ravaging you?" He asks.
"Never!!" They exclaim loudly and boldly. He sighs a breath, he unknowingly held in, in relief.
"I hope I didn't hurt you two..." He says worriedly. They shake their heads as their bite and claw marks heal in split seconds.
"Of course not. But, I am curious. How did you transform without doing your Zanpakuto's release?" Luna asks. He raises a brow.
"What do you mean? I didn't do anything!" He exclaims. Nightmare stares oddly at him.
"You mean you don't remember your transformation? Your shadow changed too! And while you were using Luna, I saw you growing more skeletal tails, the first one gaining some flesh to it!" She exclaims.
"I had a tail?" He asks dumbly.
They roll their eyes saying, "Yes!" He blinks in surprise, before gaining a confused look on his face.
"I don't remember that at all. Maybe it's an instinct thing?" He asks. Nightmare shakes her head.
"Or maybe it's a new power? Can you feel it inside you?" She asks. He shrugs and closes his eyes, concentrating on his power, before he feels a new power source bubble up from the depths of his very being.
"I can feel it. It feels so...so..."
"Good?"
"Familiar..." He says softly. He begins to wonder what it is, but stops as the door is thudded against. He narrows his eyes and in a flash of light, thanks to Luna, the three of them are fully clothed and have their Zanpakuto's on them as well. The door opens with Celestia standing in the doorway with a twinkle in her eye.
"How are you three doing?" She asks sweetly with the tilt of her head. He raises a brow.
"Er, fine? And you?" He asks. She shrugs before smirking and he grows nervous.
"Nothing, just that Cadence will be here in a few hours." She says. He grins widely.
"Really!? Awesome!!" He says childishly making the three mares giggle. He blushes lightly. "Er..." Nightmare snakes her arms around his hips and pulls him close to her chest making him blush more and squeak softly.
"That was adorable!" She chuckles out making him huff.
"It shouldn't have been..." He mutters out. Luna and Celestia roll their eyes.
"Su~ure it wasn't!" The three of them say mockingly. He huffs again and pouts cutely making Nightmare's grip around him to tighten.
"Now that is adorable~" She purrs. He shivers and whimpers softly as he squirms to get up. She, reluctantly, lets him go and he gets to his feet and stretches. They appear in the throne room where Trixie stands guard. She looks over and smiles.
"Did you three enjoy your rut time?" She teases. Spike flushes while Luna and Nightmare nod their heads.
"Yep, we enjoyed it greatly!" They exclaim with wide goofy grins. She giggles softly and then sit in their thrones. He huffs before appearing in his throne as well with a tired expression. Luna and Nightmare give him worried glances, before a thought forms in their minds, and they grin at each other.
"Hey, Spike?" Luna asks. He looks to her with a raised brow. "Why not a spar with us?" She asks. He mulls it over before shrugging and nodding his head lightly.
"Sure, why not?" He asks as he gets up to his feet and stretches. Luna and Nightmare do the same before they both boom on either side of him, their Zanpakuto's out and ready to cleave him in two. He brings his wings around himself and their blades slide across them. To their surprise they create sparks instead of injure or even scratch them. He spreads them out knocking the two of them aside and unsheathes Murcielago. He grins and dashes at them
This was gonna be good.

EQUESTRIA'S ESPADA!
CHAPTER SEVEN: "The spar!"
By, Vladimir
0o0o0o0
Spike jumps into the air as Luna and Nightmare clash their Zanpakuto's together making a small crater in the floor. He spins around and kicks Nightmare into Luna, knocking them both into a column before spinning backwards through the air and fanning out his wings where he them fires a Bala .
He flies out through a window and soars into the sky breaking the sound barrier with a few flaps where he then hears two loud cracks of thunder and looking over his shoulder Luna and Nightmare chase after him breaching Mach 2. He spins and surges forward as he shatters Mach 3 and booms down towards a small town with a large field of apple trees.
Luna appears before him and kicks, which he spins around and back wings her back at Nightmare who dodges her and flickers into living shadow as she moves before him and stabs forward. He barrel rolls to the side and kicks her down at the farm before booming upward as Luna appears where he was with her Zanpakuto in a stabbing motion.
He punches the air sending a large violet Bala at her, which she side kicks back at him. He back hands it and it circles down and explodes on the ground next to the orchard. An orange mare runs out of the run down house and gawks with wide eyes as Spike grabs Nightmare's and Luna's Zanpakuto and throws them aside before punching Bala 's at them rapidly making them fire their own. He then booms down to the ground and flies between the trees where he stops before a yellow filly making her squeak in surprise.
He raises a brow as she stares at him before blushing. 'She looks to be a few years younger than Applejack is. Odd, I thought she looked younger before? Oh shit!!!' He grabs the mare and uses his wings as a shield as a stray Bala collides into him. He spreads his wing and booms before Applejack and hands the mare to her.
"Keep her out of the way." He says coldly before stabbing a Bala apart with his bare hand and uses his wings as shields to keep the blast from harming the ponies before him. He then spins around and booms into the sky, kicking Luna in the chin and successfully knocking her back farther into the air. Nightmare gets a lucky shot and kicks him across the sky and into a strange tree house and into Twilight who cries out in surprise.
"SPIKE!?!?" She cries out in surprise as his back steams from the intense heat. He then gets to his feet and fires a Cero that rips a hole through the wall and slams into Nightmare who just appears beyond it, sending her back into the air before she splits it in half with her bare hands. He moves to go after her but is stopped by a firm magical grip around his wings. Looking over his shoulder he see's Twilight fuming mad with confusion in her angry eyes.
"The buck are you doing!?!?" She roars. He flares his wings knocking her back against a wall in the corner and draws Murcielago, sending fear into her core.
"Sparring with my goddesses. Stay out of the way, or you might not survive." He tells her coldly before blocking Luna's Zanpakuto making the floor crack. He pushes her back before delivering a sidekick sending her out of the tree and gives chase. Twilight stares wide eyed before glaring and follows. As she gets outside she see's Applejack running along the street towards her.
"Ya'll get a su'prise visit from him too?" She asks. Twilight rolls her eyes.
"Gee, what gave that away?" She asks. Applejack points at the massive holes in the side of her tree house. She goes to comment but a sonic boom roars overhead. Looking up they see Spike booming around Luna and Nightmare faster than they can react. They then notice that their princesses are being smacked around as if they were common ponies with no power whatsoever.
"Spike sure ain't given 'em time ta react!" Applejack says in awe. Twilight nods her head and then watches as Luna roars in a rage and her blade becomes covered in black and blue flames.
"Getsuga! TENSHOU!!" She roars and swings downward at Spike who looks to be in a slight state of shock, as he freezes in mid place. The crescent shaped moon slams into Spike and cuts deep into the ground making the ground shake as raging clouds form overhead and rain pours down. Black and blue lightning roars across the clouds and strikes the ground and a few trees. A green beam erupts from the large crevice in the earth and roars towards Luna.
Nightmare appears before her and parts the beam so both pieces fly into the sky. Spike then appears in front of her with a mask covering his whole face that has another horned helmet piece connecting to the other. Their eyes grow wide as green flames erupt from the blade and spiral around the guard. He lets out a soft grunt as he raises Murcielago above his head with both hands.
"Oscuras Getsuga Tenshou..." He states before swinging down, making large black and green flames erupt into a large crescent moon that slams into both of them, knocking them down to the ground. He stares coldly down at where his mates had been knocked down, before feeling a dense spiritual pressure form above him. Looking up his eyes widen as Luna and Nightmare float above him with blood trickling down their faces.
"That was a close one...." Luna pants out. She looks to Nightmare and smiles. "Thanks...." She says. Nightmare gives her a toothy grin.
"No problem!" She then looks down at him and gains a serious expression. "Looks like we might have to use our release states to even hope about causing our love some harm, otherwise it just isn't fun~" She purrs out happily. Luna nods her head and steps forward.
"Let me go first, your release form is....too much for Ponyville and it's citizens to handle, same with his or mine. But at least I can control it better." She says. Nightmare nods her head and steps back before booming onto the ground before the mane six and Gilda, panting heavily as she leans against a building, trying desperately to catch her breath.
"What's going on?" Dash asks. Nightmare flashes a grin.
"Sparring, but it would seem we've all gotten much stronger in the past month, Dashy. But...even I didn't know he could form a mask, let alone his original one." She states oddly. Dash's eyes widen and she stares at her.
"Are you serious? Can he control himself?" She asks worriedly. Nightmare nods her head in affirmation.
"Oh yeah, even created a new Getsuga...it packs a lot of power in it too. I'm positive if I hadn't gotten Luna and myself out of the way, we would have lost." She pants out. They all look back up at the sky as Luna holds her Zanpakuto upside down with the blade pointing at the ground.
Luna then spins her Zanpakuto upward before saying softly Raizu, Mangetsu She is then surrounded by black and blue flames as her power rises and the winds howl loudly and whip across the sky, the clouds burst away from the dense energy as a full moon rises behind her. Spike stares silently at the prospect before him, before his eyes widen in surprise and slight shock when the flames die.
Luna stands in her old form with skin-tight dark cyan blue battle armor that resembles Dash's but without the blade, instead their are scythe blades jetting across her forearms and the sides of her shins. Her hooves are pitch black and seem sharper while her hands are pitch black claws. Her mane whips around and her tail is whip thin as her wings are larger and the feathers razor sharp as they glint in the moonlight.
Her slit eyes glow slightly as she summons a blue glowing trident and looks down at him.
"Fire your attack once again. And I will show you my power." She says in monotone. He narrows his eyes and sends out his Oscuras Getsuga Tenshou at her once again. She uses her left wing as a shield and the attack rages around her. "I see...." She says softly before spreading her wing, knocking the attack away into nothing but small embers. "So I am powerful enough to beat you." She says almost sadly, before booming before him and swings her trident down.
His eyes widen in surprise as he wonders if this is how it felt to be Kurosaki when fighting him. A large blue sphere forms around them in the sky, as the ponies down below stare wide eyed in shock.
When the dome clears Spike stands their panting heavily as his mask shatters leaving behind his horned helmet piece that doesn't have a scratch on it. Looking up he see's Luna gazing down at him coldly before she throws her trident at him. He regains his barrings and his eyes grow cold. He holds Murcielago out and black and green flames rage around him. Luna's eyes widen in surprise as he prepares to enter his released state with her trident soaring down at him still
'What is he doing!?!?' They all think.
Tozase...Murcielago.... Green rain roars off him as he appears above Luna before speaking his release. The green and black rain pours down upon the whole town and other towns as well as the sky grows starless and the moon shifts into a twisted crescent moon. His spiritual pressure bares down upon everyone as he stands in his released state. He summons his green javelin and appears before Luna swinging it down making at her.
She summons her trident and blocks the javelin making two raging fires of black and blue, and black and green crash against each other for dominance. When the flames die Luna whips her tail around but Spike booms behind her and points his right index finger at her.
"I'm afraid you haven't seen this technique before. Pity." He says coldly as a black and green sphere forms before his "claw". Cero Oscuras He mutters out and a large black and green Cero devours Luna and rockets across the clear dark sky. When the beam dissipates he see's Luna holding her trident with the blades pointing downward. His eyes narrow slightly before he flies higher into the sky making him look like a white speck while Luna following after him.
Nightmare conjures a purple screen as to watch, and help the others watch, the fight. They watch as Spike moves higher and higher up before he suddenly spins around and stares down at Luna. Holding out his hand with his index finger pointed down at her a black sphere forms along with floating green straight swords that surround him in a large wall with him in the middle. Luna stares wide eyed as the sphere erupts into a black Cero and the swords jet down around it in a spiraling motion.
The beam and swords roar closer and closer to her and she points her trident up at them and three spheres of blue energy erupt into massive 2 mile long Cero 's that crash against Spike's own Cero and floating swords. A large explosion booms in the sky as sonic booms race across the skies and make the ground tremble as the winds down there race through the streets. The ponies stare before three large see-through walls of yellow, blue, and purple form before them and split the winds around them.
They look up at the screen and stare as Luna and Spike seem to dance while clashing against each other .
Luna dodges Spike's kick and kicks him down before dodging a Cero and fires her own back. The two circle each other as Spike firing the floating swords and Luna firing floating spears. They then clash with javelin and trident in their hands making shockwave's rip across the sky making thunderous booms when they collide. They punch and kick at each other before both fire Black Cero 's that when collide, explode into a tower of smoke and raging fire.
The two then circle each other once again before dashing forward, making sparks fly. Luna manages to stab Spike in the side with her trident and then slash sideways, making a wide gash form, and his blood to spew forth. He then knee's her in the stomach, knocking the breath right out of her lungs before double hammer fisting her down at the ground breaking Mach 4. She collides to the earth making a pillar of dirt fly into the air and a bright blue light shines from her crater as she enters her sealed form with her eyes closed, knocked out.
Nightmare sighs softly, before grinning toothily. "My turn~" She purrs out before booming before Spike with her her Zanpakuto high above her head. Kurakunaru black and purple flames surround her as her whole Zanpakuto glows with a deep black light. Mugetsu The flames form a column around her as back and purple lightning arches across the sky and the crescent moon becomes devoured by darkness, leaving a pitch black sky over head .
The pillar explodes in violent waves of power as the houses down below rattle and the wind moves at unimaginable speeds as they rip trees from the ground. Twists roar around where Nightmare stands and Spike's eyes widen as purple version of his eyes stare back at him. The twister is knocked aside revealing Nightmare who strongly resembles his Segunda Etapa form only with a single horn and large fathered wings and in her original form.
Her whip like tail lashes around as her muzzle is parted slightly revealing her fangs as her cat like eyes scan him for any fear. The ponies down below stare in terror as Nightmare Moon had just gotten a hell of a lot more terrifying, before a bright purple scythe forms in her claws. She holds it upside down and summons a second one in her other hand the exact same way. Her mane whipping around and obscuring her eyes.
She booms before him giving him little time to react, but just barely manages to summon two glowing swords to block her scythe blades from decapitating him. She bows her head and at the tip of it a large white and purple Cero that resembles Kurosaki's own forms before him the exact same size as Kurosaki's was. His eyes widen in shock as he gains a flashback of his last fight, before narrowing them.
'I might be forced to go all out if she is anything like him. But knowing her, she'll outclass him, and most likely me, very easily." He thinks to himself before igniting his swords with his Oscuras Getsuga Tenshou and releases them in her face. He jets backward in an attempt to gain some room between him and her, but a firm hand grips his wing. He stares wide eyed up at her as she swings downward with a black scythe, severing his wing and right arm from his body .
He falls down from the sky and onto Sugarcube Corner's roof where Nightmare stomps down at him. He rolls to the side and jumps into the air just as the whole shop collapses and ponies flee for their lives. Mr. and Mrs. Cake stare in horror as the two fight viciously.
'This is getting out of hand. I have to end this now!' He thinks before dashing upward moving past Mach 4 making him look like a cone of light with a purple cone of light surging after him moving faster than he is. 'Shit!' He thinks as his wing and arm just finish regrowing and he uses a Javelin to block the black scythe, only for the blade to slice it clean in half and explode it. He dashes up higher and higher into the sky with Nightmare chasing after him, her eyes still being covered by her flowing mane.
He dashes sideways towards a barren wasteland of Equestria a few miles out from Ponyville where Diamond Dogs had been spotted not to long ago, where he was forced to save Rarity, that greedy mare.
He stands in the sky thousands of feet in the air where the air is too thin for any normal being to reach unless they had been prepared for it along with the sheer cold of the winds, it was safe to say the pressure should slow her down somewhat. 'Well, she is the Segunda Espada...' He thinks to himself before he is brought out of his thoughts as Nightmare stands before him, her eyes cold and filled with no emotion.
"Give up, it's useless." She says coldly. He narrows his eyes. She glares coldly at him that matches his own glares. "I said it's useless!!" She exclaims and fores her large Cero . He holds his hand out that has blood dripping from the palm.
Gran Ray Cero Oscuras He says as a large black sphere forms before turning into a wide beam that devours Nightmare's own attack and thins as it grows near. It just misses her and hits a mountain, exploding it in a large column of smoke and fire that soon dissipates into nothingness. She stares at him wide eyed as that attack most likely would have greatly wounded her.
"Do you feel despair?" He asks. She raises a brow at him. "I will show you, true despair." He says as black and green flames form around him in a circle and his "dress" starts to burn away as his helmet breaks part. Nightmare stares wide eyed . A large wing knocks the flames away and her, along with the others and a newly awakened Luna, stare in true despair as they gaze at the new looking Spike .
Resurreccion...Segunda Etapa... He states as a larger crescent moon lights up the sky and an eerie silence sets in, as despair grips their hearts. The light of the crescent moon shines across his ghostly moon pale skin like a light in a tunnel of darkness, as his sickly yellow and green eyes stare down at her from a boulder. His talon's dig into the rock making it crack violently.
"Gaze upon true despair, and accept your defeat..." He says in monotone. He dashes forward, only to appear beside her and grab her head before throwing her into the ground, where she bounces repeatedly making a jagged mote into the Everfree Forest and into an old castle spire, collapsing it. She gets out of the dirt and flies up a tower up towards Spike who is diving down at her from hundreds of feet in the air, only to be pushed into it and slide up it by him from the side.
She flops into the top room as the roof blows off and crumbles to the earth below .
She looks up with a dazed look in her eyes before they widen as Spike stands on the wall her head is resting against, his talons embedded into it. She booms up in the sky and throws her scythe which he dodges by tilting his head to the left slightly. He points his right index claw at her and a pitch black Cero forms in about the size of a golf ball.
"This is the full power form, or Cero Oscuras. This will end this spar, and hopefully not cause too much destruction." He tells her before a wide black beam roars in her face and crashes into her form, where it surges through the sky and the crescent moon vanishes, revealing the noon sunlight. As the beam dissipates the ponies see Spike in his base form holding an unconscious Nightmare who's body is covered in scars and her clothes hanging loosely on her form.
He gives her a look of sorrow before sighing sadly before looking over at Ponyville. He inwardly winces at the destruction caused and wonders if a "Reconstruction Spell" would repair the buildings and fields. He weighs the options and decides to go for it. He holds his right hand out while holding Nightmare with his left arm around her hips firmly and presses it forward, making ripples form in the air as if it were water. He closes his eyes and swipes it through the air and the destroyed buildings rise up and the tree's to regrow along with the ground to fill back up.
He pants heavily as sweat pours down his brow as he focuses on rebuilding the damage they had wrought. He pants heavier before booming before his mates and sister and her friends. He drops to his knee's from magical exhaustion and face plants into the dirt as Nightmare rolls along the ground and wakes up with a jolt, her wounds heal instantly. Looking around her eyes set upon Spike's motionless form.
She moves over to him and lifts him up so his head is resting in her lap. "Spike!? Are you okay!?" She asks. He opens his eyes lightly and peers up at her tiredly. He gives her a tired smile and chuckles out weakly.
"Looks like I win again...and look, I rebuilt most of the town again..." He says softly before closing his eyes and hissing in pain as his own wounds begin to heal. He sighs in relief and looks over his form. "At least I won't fade away this time." He says softly making them raise a brow in curiosity and confusion.
"Fade away? Spike, what are you talking about?" Twilight asks. He gains a distant look.
"The last time I died, I turned to dust and floated away in the wind. The last thing I ever thought, understanding humans, and the prospect of having a heart." He says sadly. They gain soft looks, before Twilight steps forward with a curious look and twinkle in her eyes.
"What was that spell, by the way?" She asks. He chuckles lightly.
"That was a high level "Reconstruction Spell" which is a weaker version of the higher powered "Restoration Spell" that can be used on anything, even bringing someone back to a point in time after death." His eyes then widen, as does Dash's and Gilda's.
"You don't think..." Dash starts as she looks down at her left arm and flexes her hand slightly.
"Yes, I do. It would explain many things about her." He states. Luna raises a brow.
"Who?" She asks.
"A human from our "past life" who had the power to restore anything and negate anything. Thinking about it, she probably could have sped things up and killed us all if she was trained to do so." Gilda states with a frown. They nod their heads, before Dash and Gilda get large grins as they look at Luna's, Nightmare's and Spike's tattered clothes as their bodies show from underneath them. "Though I think I'd like to play with our pet-sama~" She purrs out as she flicks her index finger up his bare chest and move the nail into his hollow hole, making him whimper softly.
Dash wraps her arms around Luna's and Nightmare's hips, her fingers going into their hollow holes which are in their abdomen's, making them bite either side of her neck possessively. Gilda picks Spike up bridal style while Luna is picked up by Dash and Nightmare grins toothily. She turns to the ponies.
"We'll see you all later~" She purrs out before they all boom away at the sound of static.

So, what did you all think? Short, I know. But I kind of like it this way!
EQUESTRIA'S ESPADA!
CHAPTER SEVEN!: "Dragonshy!"
By, Vladimir
0o0o0o0o0
Spike lays in his bed at the castle with his mates laying around him, all four of them covered in his seed. They lay around him snoring softly, peacefully as their arms all seem to be coiled around his hips and chest tightly making him smile lightly. He closes his eyes feeling peace wash over him now that he is in the arms of his of his over-protective mates and allows sleep to wash over his form, and travel into the world of slumber.
0o0o0o0o0
Spike opens his eyes and blinks the sleepiness away before he yawns and stretches before noticing the his mates aren't around him anymore, nor are they in the room from what he can see. He concentrate's and on their energies and notices that they are in the throne room with Twilight and the others. Curious, he rises to his feet and gets dressed before using Sonido to appear in the throne room.
Celestia has a serious expression on her face as do Nightmare and Luna while Dash and Gilda are fastening packs to their lower backs beneath their gorgeous wings. He raises a brow in curiosity before confusion sets in when a few of his Vasto Lords turned Arrancar pull packs on their backs as well.
"What is happening?" He asks. Celestia looks at him with a straight face that makes him stiffen slightly as she has only ever given him such a look when something pressing, or deadly was happening.
"A Dragon has taken roost in the mountain just outside Equestria's borders. I had asked a few of your Hollow's to go and investigate, but only one returned, and it died shortly after saying something powerful attacked them. I don't know what could have the strength and power to destroy Adjuchas Hollows here, but it's extremely dangerous, even a Vasto Lorde was defeated." She says firmly. He nods his head lightly.
"I see. Then I shall accompany them on this matter. If this thing truly is as powerful as you say, they may need my help. But I am positive Dash and Gilda will be enough. But never the less, I shall go to keep them safe on the off chance a stray Vasto Lord has formed and works alongside the Dragon." He says firmly. She nods her head before turning to look out the window. He turns and see's a massive cloud of smoke stretch across the sky, blocking out the sun completely and raining ash.
He spins on his heel and strides out of the throne room after the others as they had left shortly after he had arrived. Catching up to them, Dash and Gilda flash them toothy grins and lidded eyes.
"Well if it ain't our oh so lovely mate~" Gilda hisses out sultrily. He shivers slightly as her tone of voice heats him up from the inside out as it always does.
"How did you like our gift~?" Dash purrs out as she captures his lips lovingly and passionately. He looks up at them after he and Dash part.
"It was wonderful. I just wish you two would stay at the castle more often though..." He mumbles out softly. Gilda snickers.
"Why? So you can get your cock sucked every hour of the day~?" She teases. He blushes heavily, as does the ponies who look to be having a hard time keep their legs from rubbing together. Odd.
"No, mainly because we miss you girls. And besides, I don't even get to ask, it just happens." He says sticking his tongue out softly. Dash rolls her eyes.
"Well forgive us if your cum tastes like cream, or your dick like vanilla. How do you even get it that way to begin with?" Dash asks. His blush grows larger.
"I'm not exactly sure. Maybe it's my magic?" He asks. Dash nods.
"Maybe." She says nonchalantly with a shrug as if nothing was said at all. Applejack waves her hat in front of her face.
"How do ya'll not get....hot when talken like tha'?" She asks. Gilda and Dash raise a brow at her question as if it were obvious.
"Because we have full access?" They say at the same time with curious tones. She rolls her eyes.
"Then why do ya'll talk about it then?" She asks.
"No thank you dear. A lady must not be so crude and beg for a male to...please her." She says haughtily. He raises a brow at her.
"So that makes me a lady?" He asks.
"Hell yeah! The finest lady I ever done before ~!" Gilda exclaims with a sing song voice as her arms snake around his hips. "Shall I help you do your hair?" She teases.
"Oh ha ha." He says rolling his eyes in mock annoyance. "If you wouldn't mind I would like a brush, after last night I do need to brush it." He says. Rarity hands him a brush and he goes to brush his hair, but Gilda grabs his wrist tightly and rips the brush from his hand. "Hey! What are you- Mmh!" She captures his lips firmly as her hand grips his hip tight enough to hurt, yet somehow feels pleasurable.
"Shut up." She orders. He whimpers softly as she flashes a wolfish grin down at him. "Let me brush your hair, babe." She hisses out softly into his ear making him shiver slightly. Dash places her hands onto his hips when Gilda tilts his head back with her other hand.
"He he, looks like we caught our little minx~" She purrs. Rarity and the others blush heavily and stare, mesmerized for some odd reason. As Gilda brushes his hair Dash decides it would be fun to make him squirm by kissing his neck gently.
"Dash...please stop-ah!" He gasps out as she bites into his neck, her fangs sinking deep into his flesh. He whimpers softly and pants lightly. A minute passes before Gilda stops brushing his hair and Dash pulls her fangs from his neck as she had been drinking from him. She licks her lips sluttily before kissing the tip of his nose gently.
"Thanks for the meal~" She says with a wink. His cheeks are flushed heavily as his unkempt hair is now strait and reaches below his shoulder blades close to the middle of his back. He sends a hazy glare at them as they grin cheekily.
"Don't do that again in front of the others." He huffs out and pouts. Dash gains a wolfish grin.
"Oh, so we can do that when we're alone, eh?" She asks. He closes his eyes as his blush thickens and grows.
"Yes, now can we please get a move on and deal with the stupid thing already!?" He exclaims with a tick mark over his left closed eye as he taps his foot impatiently.
"I concur." Rarity says before walking towards a large mountain where the smoke originates. He sighs in relief and follows after his mates and friends, but is stopped by Applejack who gives him a strange look. He feels his submissive side starting to creep into him once again, but it soon leaves him as she lets go of him, albeit forcefully, and walks off. He places a hand onto a tree and pants lightly, confused as to why he felt his submissive side coming out when his mates are farther ahead.
'No, that can't be right...' He thinks to himself before following after them.
0o0o0o0o0o0
He moves along with his mates on either side of him their arms locked around his hips and shoulders while swishing their hips slightly. He inwardly wonders what sort of divine being he pleased to bless him with this amazing "new life". He then realizes that he has changed since his "old life" days when he was alone, hated and feared by all but respected by few. Oddly enough only one person accepted him, in the end: Orihime Inoue.
Remembering her, he begins to wonder what ever happened and became of her. Did she escape Hueco Mundo and live? Or Did she fall as that fool Aizen believed?
As they reach the slope of the mountain a loud rumbling sound forms in the air as the whole earth shakes as if there was a massive battle happening. The sound of a roar faintly meets his ears making them twitch slightly.
"Hold on." He calls out just loud enough for them to hear. "Something doesn't seem right." He says as his eyes scan the area and his Pesquisa reaches out. He feels multiple spiritual pressure's to get a lead on what is happening, but he can tell a fight is going down. A big one. "There's a fight happening. We must hurry." He says firmly before spreading his large wings and taking to the air with Dash and Gilda following, but they are stopped by Twilight's magic.
"How can you tell?" She asks. He glares down at her making her falter slightly.
"My pesquisa informed me of it. I can feel multiple spiritual pressure's moving around and vanishing quickly. We need to hurry on the off chance it could be important!" He says before raising his hand making them all rise into the air as they are surrounded by strange green energy.
"What is this!?" Pinkie exclaims all too excitedly.
"Magic." He says before shooting up into the sky with the others following close behind. He moves up higher and higher, before his eyes widen as a certain spiritual pressure meets his senses.
'How? Could they have died and been reincarnated as well?' He thinks to himself.
"You feel that?" Dash asks.
"Yeah, looks like she is here too." Gilda says with a grin before sending a glance at him. "We'll make sure she is okay. I know you two were good "friends"." She tells him with a wink before gaining more speed over him. He rolls his eyes but is grateful non the less. He picks up speed as well making the ponies wonder who "she" is.
As they reach the top of the moment they see multiple stray Hollows attacking a large male Dragon who uses a black sword to kill them as he stands before the one person he never thought he would ever see again.
"Orihime...?" He whispers out. Her head snaps back and her brown eyes widen in shock before a wide smiles spreads across her lips, before gaining a confused expression.
"Ulquiorra? What are you doing here?" She asks gaining the hollow male dragon's attention. He turns and gazes at him with brown eyes that then widen. The dragon growls and his claws ignite with black flames tinted with red. Spike's eyes narrow and he unsheathes Murcielago, black and green tinted flames roar to life around the blade making their eyes widen.
"I am here to elliminate the cause for this smoke. Evidently, it seems I have found the cause." He says as he then swings to the side, sending a Getsuga out and destroys a large Menos Grande. "Dash, Gilda! Take down the Menos, I'll deal with the Adjuchas." He orders before booming before Orihime and knocking a Cero aside.
"Alright!!" Dash exclaims as she pulls Pantera from it's scabbard and rushes as towards the Menos. Grind! Pantera!!! She roars while raking her hand across the flat of the blade entering her Resurreccion form making Their eyes widen in surprise. Gilda laughs harshly.
Pray! Santa Teresa!!! She laughs out entering her own Resurreccion making the dragon and Orihime pale in fear. Gilda appears next to Dash and the two rush the multiple Menos together, laughing the whole way. Spike pulls Orihime behind him as a centipede Adjuchas goes to stab at her, only to be cleaved in half by his blade.
"This is not good. There's far too many of them here. Are the gates weakening?" He wonders aloud making her and the dragon grow confused. He then fires a Getsuga out past the dragon destroying a wolf Adjuchas in the process.
"I can't believe I am saying this, but, thanks for the help, Espada." The dragon growls out.
"Wrong. I am no longer part of that fool Aizen's army, but my own. I am the Primera as well as leader of the Espada Force." He says while cutting a simply Hollow in half down the middle all the while his wings protect Orihime.
"What?" She asks wide eyed.
"I made the force to protect my home and loved ones. No way will I allow trash to harm my subjects nor what is mine." He growls out surprising them even more that he is showing emotion. Moving his head to the side he rips a Hollows arm off before kicking it's head clean off of it's shoulders. An ear piercing scream makes him whip around quickly as he see's Twilight and the others being jumped at by three lion Adjuchas.
"Spike!!" Twilight screams out.
"Twilight!!" He roars as he goes to help but the Hollow Dragon appears and ends the Adjuchas lives. He sighs in relief before a single question is asked.
"Your name is Spike?" The dragon snickers out. He rolls his eyes.
"Yes. It was the name I was given to me by birth." He huffs out before giving the dragon a soft smile making it freeze up as if expecting him to attack. "Thank you, for saving my sister and my friends." He tells the dragon before spinning around and impaling Murcielago's blade down to the guard into a bear Adjuchas head, killing it instantly.
"S-Sure, no problem..." The dragon says unsurely before killing off more Hollows. Spike kills another Hollow before the dragon gets the last one. He sighs in relief as all the Hollows are gone and the smoke begins to clear up.
"Well, that was fun!" Dash laughs out as she and Gilda return to their base forms before grinning down at him and snaking their arms around his form. "But it could always get better~" She purrs. He shivers slightly as a faint blush tints his cheeks.
"Perhaps later, Dash." He says softly.
"Tch, that's not even fair! We killed all those damned Menos! The least you could do is give us some sort of reward~" Gilda hisses out sultrily making him give a soft sigh and hold his head to the side.
"Fine, but make it quick. I don't want to be- ah~!" He gasps out softly as the two bite into his neck and drink from him. He blushes heavily and bites his lower lip hard as his eyes shut firmly. The dragon and Orihime stare wide eyed and Orihime gains a faint blush and nose bleed.
"What the hell?" The dragon says on confusion. Dash and Gilda pull away from Spike's neck making him pant slightly.
"Thanks babe~" They say at the same time before letting go and stand on either side of him as if nothing happened.
"N-No problem..." He sighs out before looking up at the dragon and Orihime. "What?" He asks.
"Why did Grimmjow and Nnoitra just bite you? And why are they girls!?" The dragon exclaims. He blushes faintly.
"Er...well, they are two of my four mates and their girls because they were born that way?" He says slowly as if the dragon was "special".
"Okay, this is all too weird. First I'm in the middle of another war and now I'm here as a Hollow! What the fuck is going on!?!?" The dragon roars.
"You seem to have a knack for getting into wars, don't you, Kurosaki?" He asks. Dash and Gilda immediately grow silent along with the ponies. The two groups of beings glare directly as the dragon Hollow making it move awkwardly.
"Why are they glaring at me?"
"Because you killed him!" Twilight exclaims.
"We were in the middle of a war and I was trying to rescue Orihime!!" Kurosaki roars out.
"SO!?" The ponies exclaim. Spike rolls his eyes and sighs while shaking his head.
"I had a feeling this might happen..." He mutters out before looking up at Kurosaki. "What do you mean by "second war"?" He asks.
"It was a war about the fate of the Soul Scociety, but then when Orihime and I were talking to...THAT BASTARD!! If I ever see him again I fucking kill him!!" Kurosaki roars. Spike raises a brow.
"Who?"
"Urahara Kisuke! He sent us here last night!" Kurosaki growls out.
"I see. Well, Kurosaki, it looks as if you are stuck here whether you like it or not." He says.
"Hold on, can't you send me back?" He asks. Spike shakes his head and Kurosaki growls out, "And why the hell not?"
"Because you are no longer a Shinigami. Your an Adjuchas now. Now you have two choices. Option number one: You find a way back and get killed. Option number two: You join the Espada Force and live peacefully here in my home with Orihime until you are needed for a mission or the war starts between us and the Griffin's. It is your choice." He says.
Ichigo looks down and places a hand onto his chin, before making a brief glance at Orihime and asking, "What about Orihime? Will she be allowed to live here too?" He asks.
"Of course. She can even become part of the Espada Force if she so chooses. But she would no longer be human, but an Arrancar." He says before leaning back against Gilda as Dash stands at his side, her arms around his hips and Gilda's arms around his shoulders.
"I'll do it." Ichigo says. Spike smiles softly at him before nodding.
"Good choice. Now gather Orihime, we will be returning to the castle now." He says. Ichigo picks Orihime up bridal style, and in a burst of bright light, they vanish.

EQUESTRIA'S ESPADA!
CHAPTER NINE!: "New Members and Loves!"
By, Vladimir
0o0o0o0o0
They appear in the throne room before Luna, Nightmare and Celestia. Spike moves towards his throne and sits in it and looks down at his mates who move up and stand behind him. Looking back down, he notes that Ichigo and Orihime are struggling to stay up. He nods his head and an Trixie appears placing chairs behind them, before helping them sit down.
"Er, thanks." Ichigo stutters out as the Arrancar smiles sweetly.
"No problem, sir." She says before appearing at Celestia's side. She flashes a warm smile at them both making Orihime smile softly back as Ichigo attempts to smile, but just looks odd with his concaved mouth moving in odd directions. He looks forward and seems to freeze up as Celestia glares down at him as if he were some sort of scum that should be destroyed.
"I have been informed that you are Ichigo Kurosaki. Am I correct?" She asks. He nods his head lightly.
"Y-Yes?" He stutters out. She narrows her eyes dangerously.
"So you are the one who sent Ulquiorra here?" She hisses out. He nods his head shakily. She smiles a wide motherly smile down at him. "Then I must thank you, Ichigo Kurosaki. As I would not have my son here without you." She says softly. He blinks a few times before promptly falling right the fuck out of his chair before jumping back into it.
"Er, your welcome?"
"I am Princess Celestia. "Mother" to Spike, or as you know him, Ulquiorra Cifer. I have been informed that you wish to join the Espada Force. Am I correct?" She asks. He nods his head lightly.
"Yes."
"I see. Do you pledge yourself to Equestria and Tartarus to uphold the piece of the world and of it's dead?" She asks. He tilts his head slightly.
"Tartarus? Isn't that like the Greek version of Hell?" He asks.
"No. Tartarus is Hueco Mundo. The humans called it the "pit" where "Cronus" and the other "Titans" were placed. Such an idiotic thing, but, then again they weren't exactly wrong." Spike says while rubbing his temples. "And Tartarus is my Kingdom. The gates stand on Luna's moon as to keep them safe and only I, or my mates can get to them. I merged Equestria and my kingdom together, but kept Equestria as it's main name." He explains.
"Oh." Ichigo says dumbly. "So, I just have to agree and that's that?" He asks.
"Yes. Well, there is also removing your mask." Spike says. Ichigo nods his head and gets to his feet where he grips the side of his mask.
"Then I Ichigo Kurosaki, pledge to protect Equestria and Tartarus and her people and dead." He says loudly and clearly, as well as firmly before ripping his mask off, leaving behind a few pieces . He gains clothing and a white version of his old Bankai Zanpakuto. Standing there, he gazes coolly up at Spike. He notes how Kurosaki had changed, along with how his power is very close to Luna's and quite possibly Nightmare's.
Orihime steps forward.
"I would like to join as well. Even if I won't be that strong. I want to join to become stronger!" She says. Gilda grins widely.
"Looks like "pet-sama" finally grew up." She snickers. Spike nods his head lightly.
"Very well. Pick and choose a Vasto Lorde that you deem fit and worthy of you." He says before a line of Vasto Lorde's appear before her. She moves forward and looks through them, before stopping in front of an angel looking Vasto Lorde. She smiles and the Vasto Lord smiles back.
"This one feels the most right." She says softly. He nods his head and places his hands over the female Hollow's hollow hole, which is at the base of the neck the side of a small ball, and Orihime's chest. He grabs their hands and places them into each other, and a bright light shines. When it dissipates, Orihime stands there looking different .
"Thank you, Ulquiorra-kun." She says softly. He nods his head lightly as her grey eyes shinning with new untapped power, before she stands back with Ichigo, the two lock their hands together tightly. He feels a slight twinge in his chest, but smiles lightly, as happiness forms for the one he once longed for so long. He turns away and softly walks away with his hands in his pockets. He moves up the steps with his coat shimmering slightly as his wings remain folded up against his back.
He turns and sits in his throne softly and looks down at his two new Espada. He notes that Ichigo truly holds impressive power, while Orihime is far out of their leagues as her power borders his own let alone reaching his first Resurreccion form and could give his "Segunda Etapa" a run for it's money.
"Welcome, to the Espada Force. You two shall be stationed here at the castle as we are currently at war with an enemy that the ponies are not quite used to. I have recently gained Intel that the Griffin's have gained stray Hollows of all classes to their sides along with the Drake's enhanced technology. I have managed to gain the Dragon's to our side, but I fear they will side with their brothers. Ichigo," He looks directly at the ex-Shinigami and continues, "You and I are the only Dragon's that are currently here." He says somberly.
"I see, so we are these "Dragons", like from the myth's on earth?" He asks.
"Indeed." He says evenly before closing his eyes and sighs softly. "I am afraid that you two shall need to be tested to join the Espada Force's Ranks, however. You may be part of the Force, but to truly be alongside with me and the others you two will need to be tested, and tested you shall be!" He vanishes and appears before Ichigo with Murcielago drawn. He brings up his own Zanpakuto and blocks Spike's surprise attack sending sparks into the air.
Orihime is thrown back into a wall by Spike back winging her. He then vanishes and kicks Ichigo into the air before before firing a half powered Cero destroying the roof and knocking the ex-Shinigami higher into the air by hundreds of feet. He flickers and Orihime is pound into the floor making it crack and the walls to shatter as the glass windows turn to ash from the bursts of air and his intense spiritual pressure.
Spinning around he catches Ichigo's blade and flips him over his shoulder before firing a full powered Bala knocking him through the cracked wall making it collapse and Ichigo to fly down a long hall way. He bends down at Orihime punches at where his head was before delivering a backwards axe kick hitting her in the abdomen sending her rocketing into Ichigo's chest, knocking him over once again .
Spike points his left index finger out and fires a full powered Cero making Ichigo form his own Cero to slow Spike's down, and manages to get himself and Orihime out of the way as Spike's Cero destroys that entire part of the castle. He steps to the side as Ichigo stabs his Zanpakuto into the ground before being kicked in the side and through another wall.
"Foolishness." Spike says in monotone .
He narrows his eyes before using Sonido to appear in the air as Orihime appears with a her Zanpakuto held out in a stabbing motion. He grabs her blade and swings her around through the air and then uses her body as a club to sending Ichigo down into the floor making a crater. "How pathetic." He says before tossing Orihime away and firing a small Bala to send her crashing into a column that then collapses on top of her.
"It would seem my hypothesis of you both greatly dissapoints me. From what I can tell you are both worthy of the Noveno Ranking Espada, possibly Diez Rank." He says coldly. "Show me more, and stop worrying about killing me. That is impossible to do anyways." He says while closing his eyes. A large black Cero roars past him and he opens his eyes, a twinkle in his eyes forms into a fire as he see's their determination on their faces. "That is more like it." He says before Orihime vanishes as Ichigo swings his Zanpakuto sending out black lightning.
'This is new.' He thinks and dashes away, only to grow surprised when the lightning chases after him as if it were alive. 'Very new indeed. Perhaps he was a Lightning Dragon?' He thinks before being punched down onto the floor from behind and the lightning slams onto him before he could react normally. A large gust of wind roars around the room and Spike's jacket lays on the destroyed floor burned and torn apart.
"That was new. What was it called?" He asks from behind Orihime and Ichigo making their eyes widen. They turn around and stare at his half naked form as he has his arms crossed and wings folded around his shoulders hooking to each other forming a cloak of sorts.
"Raitoninguu~eibu(Lightning Wave)..." Ichigo says. Spike nods his head lightly before green flames form around Murcleilago's blade.
"I see." He says before holding Murcielago out towards the two of them as green and black flames roar around his face making a mask form. "GeTsUgA tEnShOu." He states before a wave beam of black and green flames consume them and make a massive hole into the side of the castle and roar across the skies of Canterlot. When the flames dissipate, Spike's eyes widen as Orihime's "shield" is before the two of them in the shape of an octagon before it morphs into her Zanpakuto.
'So she still retained her power has she? This may be more interesting than I once believed.' He thinks to himself before his mask shimmers away leaving his "helmet" behind. He booms before them and clashes Murcielago's blade against Orihime's making sonic booms rip across the sky. Ichigo appears at his side and swings downward, a large black and red tinted crescent shaped flame shoots out at him. 'Oh lovely...' He internally deadpans.
He pushes Orihime away and points his fist out, but his arm is suddenly gripped tightly by Ichigo who keeps him there as the Getsuga races closer and closer to the two of them. "Curious tactic. But not one I haven't been in before." He says before smacking Ichigo with both wings making him become dazed before kicking him into Orihime. The sounds of ponies screaming reaches his ears and he spins around and begins to fire hundreds upon thousands of Bala 's against the titan sized Getsuga in hopes of destroying it .
Bala after Bala crashes against the Getsuga but it only seems to make it grow larger. Narrowing his eyes he holds Murcielago out before him.
Tozase! Murcielago!! He roars out and enters his release form as the sun turns into a giant crescent moon and the blue sky becomes pitch black. He points his hand forward and a giant black Cero forms from his bleeding palm. Ichigo and Orihime stare wide eyed as their "leader" forms a Cero larger than they had ever seen him use before, but understand what it is, or so they think.
Gran Ray Cero Oscuras!! He roars out and a massive black beam rips through the Getsuga like paper and tears though the sky and keeps going until it explodes into a massive ball of light over a giant mountain, destroying it from the force of the blast as the racing winds bound through a forest completely obliterating the tree's, animals, and the like as they then become stopped by a massive black dome and race over it passing over them. Black clouds of death move through the sky before finally passing on from existence when Spike closes his outstretched hand.
"You did a very reckless thing, Kurosaki. But given who you were fighting against, I can understand. I have also done reckless things, so I will not fault you two. But should you both do that stunt again without warrant, you both shall be severely punished." He says evenly with a small smile gracing his lips. Ichigo, you are my Pseudo-Segunda, Orihime shall be my Septima Espada as for right now until she gains control over all of her abilities." He says.
"Looks like I got some help." Nightmare says with the roll of her eyes before snapping her fingers repairing all of the damage down to the castle as Spike returns to his base form allowing the sky and sun to return to normal. She wraps an arm around his hips and looks down at Ichigo with a raised brow. "So, you got a Segunda Etapa?" She asks.
"I'm not sure." He says rubbing the back of his head sheepishly with his arm around Orihime's shoulders lightly.
"Well, you might as well train harder. Ex-Shinigami." She says knowingly and kisses Spike softly on the lips. "And you, my Primera Espada need to go to the bedroom right now, or we will tie you down for a month." She purrs out. He blushes heavily.
"May I ask why?" He says softly.
"Because I said to~" She growls out dominantly making him shiver lightly and gives her a pleading look.
"Can we not do this later, love? I mean we have to prepare for Cadence's arrival and all!" He says softly. She huffs and folds her arms underneath her large breasts.
"Fine. But after the party, I am so going to tie you down for a bucking week~" She purrs and grips his hips tightly and possessively. Orihime silently thanks Ichigo for not being like Nightmare Moon, as she slightly feels bad for Spike.
"I...Alright..." He sighs out with a huff and pouts lightly.
"Good boy~" She slurs before letting him go and appears back in her throne.
"Tease..." He huffs out to himself under his breath. The doors burst open to reveal a busty pink Alicorn mare and a strange looking mare with far more generous bust, blue mane, jagged horn and bug like wings. The Alicorn wears a simple princess dress, as the black mare wears a kimono that is tight around her rather perfect form. He feels her green slit eyes stare at him in...interest?
"Hello every pony, and Hollow. I brought my best friend Chrysalis here, if you don't mind, auntie." The pink mare says to Celestia sheepishly.
"Non-sense, I think it wonderful to bring a Changeling here. But she looks to regal, who exactly is she?" Celestia asks with her motherly tone.
"I am Queen Crysalis. I rule over the Emerald Changelings as well as been guard to the Gates of Tartarus with the Hollows for centuries. I had gotten word from my own Hollows that joined my hive that a king has finally been found, which is why Tartarus had left us homeless?" She says with a strong and caring tone that brings Spike in for some strange reason, as her voice is slightly wavy or "echo y".
"I am this "King" as you put it, Queen Chrysalis." He says softly making Nightmare and his other mates giggle knowingly.
'More toys to play with~' The four of them think happily.
"I see. Then it is a pleasure to meet you, and please, Chryssie is fine by me." She says with a soft smile. He blushes lightly.
"R-Right. May I ask where you and your hive and Hollows live now?" He asks gently.
"We are currently living in the old mines where Tartarus once stood. It is not much, nor is there very many resources for my children to thrive and grow. We are starving as there is no love supply for us to grasp upon, nor do other races take kindly to mine." She says sadly. His heart grows heavy.
Without thinking, he spouts out, "You can remain here with me of you want. There is plenty of room to spare." He says says softly. Chrysalis smiles gratefully to him.
"I thank you, but I cannot, for I am in search for my bonded. As much as I am grateful for you thoughtfulness, I must find them in order to continue the family line." She says sadly.
"You could always test to see if he is here." Nightmare says. Chrysalis nods her head lightly.
"I could."
"You really should" Luna agree's.
"Very well." She closes her eyes and a soft green pulse shoots out from his holed hooves. As the pulse moves across the room, Spike glows bright lime green, and a black and green pulse shoots out, connecting to Chrysalis. She opens her eyes and stares up at him "You...?" She gasps out.
"I could feel it from the start." Nightmare chuckles out. "Still, she is good looking, probably tastes good too~" She purrs out making Chrysalis flash her a seductive smile.
"You can try, but I guarantee you'll taste much better~" She hisses out in a purr, making Nightmare blush.
"Now I know how you feel, love." She says to Spike.
"That makes me feel so~oo much better." He says sarcastically while rolling his eyes. Chrysalis smiles softly to him.
"I apologize if I am no- " She stops as his lips gently brush up against hers.
"I don't mind. Besides, I am just a Sub." He tells her with the shrug of his shoulders. She raises a brow.
"And yet, you have a dominant feel as well. Are you one of thise rare Dominant Submissive's?" She asks. He nods his head lightly with a faint blush. She chuckles melodiously. "Now I feel lucky. Guess that means I'll get to be a true "Queen" hm?" She asks.
"I suppose so." He chuckles out. He then feels four large fings tear into his throat and strange liquid flowing into his veins. He stares wide eyed at Chrysalis who gives him a sad look.
"The king must always become a Changeling..." She says softly.
"W...Why?" He asks as unimaginable pain shoots through his veins making him cry out in pain as he feels his body shifting and changing. His wings sink into his back as his "helmet" does the same. He drops to his hands and knees and roars in pain as new magic shifts in his core like a raging fire, merging with his original cores, making them all form as one.
"I am not sure. But the last Queen to not do this, perished, along with the Ruby Changelings." She says sadly. Groaning he gets to his clawed feet and grips his head tightly.
"So...many...voices...." He whimpers out. Chrysalis holds him close to herself and rubs his head gently as she shifts into a dark skinned human woman with bug wings.
"Just let them in, they are merely trying to know who and what you are." She tells him softly. He whimpers softly and buries his face into her large chest and allows them passage into his mind. She gains a far off look as she too looks into his mind to learn more about her mate. Opening her eyes, she looks across the room at Ichigo, Orihime, Dash and Gilda with curious eyes. "Two ex-Espada, a human and ex-Visored. How interesting." She chuckles out lightly.
He calms down and looks up at Chrysalis with a worried look. "Now that you have seen my "past", do you still desire me?" He asks.
"I would desire you even if you were to murder all of the griffin's and dragon's. I'd desire you if you became a second Discord or Aizen. Of course I desire you now, just even more so since I know all about you~" She whispers out into his ear seductively making him shiver slightly. "I have been desiring you my entire life, Changeling's live for a VERY long time, but Queen's are eternal if not killed. We search for our bonded till we find them, or until the end of time, and meet them in the afterlife." She whispers.
"Well, what's it like to be different?" Dash asks.
"Really? You ask THAT instead of something else?!" He exclaims exasperatedly.
"Well, yeah? I mean, you just became something else! You were a dragon, a Hollow and now a Changeling all rolled up into one! What's it feel like?" She asks.
"...Nice. It feels...nice. Amazing even now that I can feel so many being full and happy." He says with a small small.
"This is still so weird..." Ichigo mutters out, Orihime nods her head in agreement.
"What exactly am I supposed to do?" He asks Chrysalis, who gains a thoughtful look.
"Just ensure that the Emerald Changeling race doesn't die out and produce a few heirs. Other than that, not much. The Queen generally takes care of the hive." She says. "Why not try shifting into someone or something else?" She asks. He nods his head lightly before closing his eyes and holding out his right hand. It shifts into a strange looking tub and he opens his eyes and stares in surprise.
"This is amazing...!" He gasps out.
"Shit...he bacame Magaman!" Ichigo laughs out as Orihime giggles lightly. He growls and points his "cannon arm" at Ichigo and fires out a small Bala that forces him to yelp as it hits him square in the chest. "YOU COULD HAVE KILLED ME!!" He roars.
"Oh please. Had I wanted you dead I would have ended your life already." He says while rolling his eyes. "Still, this is pretty cool. Can all Changelings do this?" He asks. Chrysalis shakes her head lightly.
"No, only Emerald Changelings hold the power to become someone else as well as someTHING else. Just as only Sapphire Changelings can change into other beings and control the elements. And so on and so forth." She says.
"I see. This may just be the thing we need to keep our country safe!" He exclaims softly.
"Mhmm." She says. "But there is a downside to this." She says.
"What's that?"
"Changelings are most male, just as Ponies are mostly female. And as such, only males can receive these abilities, as well as be changed." She explains.
"I see. But doesn't that mean that Changelings and Ponies are brother and sister races?" He asks.
"Yes. Just as Draconequui and Alicorn's are brother sister races. Though the only race to not have a brother race are the Dragon's and intern, Drakes." She says with a confused look.
"Ah..." He says softly. An idea forms in his mind as he grins softly. "Maybe we should introduce the Ponies and Changelings together once again?" He asks.
"That sounds like a great idea." Celestia says, breaking her long silence making them all jump as they had forgotten she was even there. "Perhaps a welcome party?" She asks. Out of nowhere Pinkie Pie appears from the corner of his vision.
"Did someone say PARTY!?!?!?" She screams out excitedly.
"Yes I did. Would you please host it here in Canterlot?" Celestia asks not even showing her surprise at Pinkie's entrance.
"Sure! When?"
"Nightmare Night." She says softly.
"My birthday?" He asks.
"You were born on the night I was banished?" Nightmare asks. He blushes lightly.
"Er...not exactly. I was hatched on Nightmare Night thanks to Twilight..." He starts but is cut off.
"Yes, he was." Celestia says while smiling. "His "birth mother" had laid him on the very night you were both banished, which was also the very same night I had received him." She says. He smiles lightly.
"Guess that shows how much I know..." He says.
"When is this "Nightmare Night", anyways?" Chrysalis asks.
"Tomorrow."

CHAPTER TEN!: "Nightmare Night Birthday Part 1!"
By, Vladimir

Spike lays in his bed with his five mates as they prepare for bed. He blushes lightly as Chrysalis wears see through lime green pajama's and lays between his legs, her firm huge breasts press down upon his crotch, not that he minds, and she lays her head onto his stomach looking up at him, her arms snaked around his hips and grab hold of his new tail. He blushes heavily as he had decided to give himself his wings back along with his original tail, only it was more dragon than Murcielago.
He looks at all of his mates and smiles lightly.
"Are you five comfortable?" He asks softly.
"I'm just fine~" Chrysalis purrs out. It had been proven after she had claimed him, that she claimed the others making them hers, and hers alone. It turns out that Queen Changelings are one of the most dominant beings on the planet, aside from Draconquui and Dominant Dragons, and she became the leader of their little "group".
"We know you are!" Dash, Gilda, Luna and Nightmare growl out before going quite as Chrysalis gives them a hard look. "Sorry..." They mumble out all at once.
"Good girls." She says with a wide toothy grin, her fangs glint softly. Looking back up at him she flashes him a loving smile that causes his heart to heat up. "And I hope you are comfortable, our love." She says softly. He nods his head lightly with a small blush and smile.
"I am. I'm glad your all here with me." He says. Sleep begins to creep into his mind and he lets his head roll back against the pillow. Chrysalis smiles softly as her discreet "Sleep Spell" works, before she drifts off to sleep after the others join him. A wide smile gracing her lips as she feels their love for her, and oddly enough her children, growing stronger and stronger while her own love for them becomes a forest fire of passion.

He wakes up with a soft yawn, but soon grows curious as the only mate with him is Chrysalis. He opens his eyes and he see's her staring up at him lovingly. He raises a brow.
"Where are the others?" He asks.
"They left a few hours ago to go do something. They asked me to keep you company and keep keep you preoccupied, not that I would be able to leave your side anyways. So I'm obviously not complaining." She says cheerfully. He smiles lovingly down at her.
"Well, thank you." He says.
"Oh I haven't even given you your present yet~" She purrs. She crawls up his body and captures his lips in a deep, fiery passionate kiss that sends a strange warmth into his whole body, and he grows to long for it. She parts from him and he whimpers softly from her lips departure. "Now, now~ No whimpering~ You'll have me for eternity you know~" She purrs out and nips his neck gently. He groans lightly as her right hand plays with his bulge.
"Looks like someone is happy~" She says huskily.
"How can I not when I have a beautiful woman on my~?" He growls out in a strange purr making her shiver happily.
"Mm, I like this side of you~! You should keep it~" She says with a sultry smile. He growls lowly as his red slowly devours the green of his eyes. She feels a strange sense of excitement rush through her veins as he pins her to her back and grows in her face, his eyes becoming crimson like blood and his nails turning into crimson claws. His hair wisp's like flames as horns slowly form on either side of his head.
'This isn't Emerald Changeling magic...this is something else, but what?' She wonders as they make out hungrily for each other. She feels his hands move along her waist and hips before sliding up her toned flat belly and cup her large breasts and massage them sensually sending jolts of pleasure through her body. 'Oooh great merciful Faust this is heaven~!' She inwardly moans as her tongue lashes at her dominantly
He cups her breasts gently and rubs them slightly, enjoying their smoothness and how soft they are. He inwardly roars with excitement as his thoughts rush around at a thousand miles per second. He parts from her and stares down at his now panting heavily mate. Her chest rises and falls quickly as she gasps for breath. He moves his face down and gently nips at her neck with his new fangs and looks into her beautiful lime green eyes.
She feels her mind slowly return to her as she looks into his eyes as they shine and he glows in dominance. She shivers in pleasure when he flicks his tongue against the side of her ear, even when he growls lowly in her ear. She can hear and feel his lust for her growing for him more and more, just like her lust for him doing the same. He moves in closer to her before the crimson turns into pitch black and his black slit pupils turn holy white as they thin even more and his skin seems to gain a scale like texture to it.
She stares wide eyed up at her mate as his skin becomes obsidian black while his wings, tail and horns become dark purple. 'Obsidian!!' Her mind screams as he stares down at her hungrily, his bluish tongue slides out from his mouth and slides up her collar bone making her whimper softly. 'I can't believe it! I'm with an Obsidian!! This is amazing!!' She thinks to herself as his lust and love for her seeps into her and her entire hive along with her Hollows as she begins to feel new power coursing through her veins and his Submissiveness dwindling.
He captures her lips hungrily once again as he gropes her right breast and slides his other hand down into her see through lime green panties and toys with her clit. "Mine." He growls out lowly making her nod her head in agreement.
"That's right my king~ I'm all yours~" She purrs out as she grips his bulge tightly.
"Good." He says darkly as his hair obscures his eyes which had turned purple and his white slits glow eerily. She gasps in pleasure as his fingers dive deep into her womanhood making her moan loud enough for those outside of the room and all along their chamber halls to hear. Unknown to them, Nightmare was just about to enter the room when she heard the moan and the deep growling voice.
She bursts through the door, before freezing and staring at her mates. "Spike...?" She asks. He glances at her and licks his fingers which are coated with Chrysalis's juices.
"Yes?" He says evenly with a deep, powerful voice that just commands her to pounce him and ride him for the rest of the day. "What is wrong, my lovely Nightmare?" He asks.
"What happened to you...?" She gasps out as a black and purple tendril of energy flows from his back where his wings once were and caresses her cheek gently.
"I am not sure. But I like it~!" He growls out as a strange looking gem rests in his chest where his hollow hole is. She stares wide eyed at him before narrowing her eyes.
"That power from before. When you were changing while you were rutting me and Luna, I think it's starting to show itself." She says.
"He's an Obsidian~!" Chrysalis purrs out excitedly making Nightmare freeze and stare with hungry eyes at her mate.
"There hasn't been one of them since Tartarus became empty~!" She says seductively.
"Then he's the last one~!" Chrysalis says excitedly as she moans loudly as his tongue strikes her "sweet spot" repeatedly. She screams in pleasure as she reaches orgasm and he slurps up her juices. "I fucking love him~" She pants out dazedly. Nightmare nods her head firmly.
"We all do!" She says happily.
"And I love all of you..." He says as he looks like his old self before the transformation and sways from side to side in a daze. His mind in a haze as he feels something roaring just beneath the surface. "Ugh...my head is pounding..." He whimpers out. Chrysalis pulls him in close as she feels his Submissive side take over once again. She holds him close to herself and kisses him deeply.
"Let me take the pain away. And if you ever want to do that again, just do it~" She purrs. He blushes heavily.
"O-Okay, love." He tells her. She rubs his bare chest and literally purrs as she eyes his muscles and lean form.
"You are mine, and I am yours. Just as we all are yours and you are ours, My King." She says lovingly. He smiles happily up at her.
"I love you." He says.
"I love you too." She tells him softly before moving off of the bed and her pajamas shift into a tight belly dancer outfit as she folds her arms under her breasts. "And if you feel the need to touch, or fuck, just tell me and I'll make sure your taken care of~" She purrs out with a wink. He blushes heavily but nods all the same.
"Okay." He says. He looks around for some clothing, but then Nightmare holds out a strange looking costume.
"I had this made for you, babe." She says lovingly, her eyes filled with mirth. He blushes and thanks her softly before slipping his pants and boxers off and slips into the costume. He stands in front of a mirror and looks himself over. He wears a tight "ninja outfit" and he raises a brow to his mates.
"Er....not that I'm not grateful, but why so tight? And why the leather?" He asks softly.
"Because it makes you look h~o~t! Hot!" Nightmare says with a wink before strutting over to him and capturing his lips softly making him shudder as a pleasurable sensation moves through him. She moves from him and rubs his chin gently. "You know you look good in leather~" She purrs out before nipping his bottom lip gently.
He blushes lightly and says softly, "Thank you...you all look good all the time..." His blush spreads as she giggles and rubs his hips lightly before his costume shifts and changes into a pair of swim-trunks that go down past his knees while his arms gain strange looking rings around them. He blinks in surprise before giving a light shrug and crosses his arms over his chest and gives them a raised brow.
Moving across the room towards the door his wings fold up and connect like a cape or cloak while his tail swishes around lightly. He looks over his shoulder and asks, "Are you two coming?"
"Damn right we are!" Nightmare yells out with a wide grin while Chrysalis nods her head with a gentle smile. The two wrap an arm around his hips and they appear in the throne room in a flash of light. He rubs his eyes gently to get rid of the odd spots clouding his vision.
'Still can't get used to that kind of shit...' He thinks before a pair of arms wrap around his neck from behind. Looking up he see's Chrysalis looking down at him lovingly. She bows her head and plants a gentle kiss on his lips and a heat forms in his chest. Her hands move across his bare chest and the kiss is deepened with passion making his chest heat up more. She pulls her lips from his and he pants heavily with lidded eyes as his cheeks are covered with a wide blush.
She winks down at him before looking up to Celestia who flashes a kind smile. "Thank you for bringing him here." She says softly. Chrysalis nods her head.
"I was planning on giving him a present this morning, but he ended up giving me one instead." She says with a light blushes tinting her caramel cheeks. He rubs the back of his neck and shits his feet around as he looks at the ground.
"What exactly happened?" She asks.
"He became a dominant. Let alone the fact that he is an Obsidian." Nightmare says with a straight look on her face. Celestia stares wide eyed.
"An Obsidian? But they have been missing for thousands of years." She gasps out.
"I am the one who felt him. He even gained the Obsidian scales and the like. I think he can control it slightly though." Chrysalis with a blush and looks up at the ceiling as it became the most interesting thing in the room to her for some reason.
"I see. Can you please tap into this...power, Spike?" Celestia asks.
"I...I can try." He says with an unsure tone and closes his eyes. He feels himself being pulled by some strange force as something stirs from it's "slumber". He see's a large black dragon standing tall. It's eyes changing and looks at him. It's eyes narrow and a roar rips across his minds cape as he feels that strange power surge through his veins.
His eyes snap open and he enters his "awakened state" making the castle shake slightly before calming down. He pants heavily as he feels his energy leaving him and her returns to his "base form".
"I...I tried..." He pants out as he leans against Chrysalis for support. She holds him tightly and nods her head gently.
"You did. But what did you see?" She asks.
"I giant dragon...It made mountains look short." He says after regaining control over his breathing. Looking up at Celestia he see's her looking down at him proudly as if he had done something amazing.
"It would seem that you are indeed an Obsidian. I wonder what Kurosaki is?" She asks.
"I was a red dragon hollow." Ichigo says with his arm around a flustered Orihime. Her hair is frizzy as if it had been rubbing against something for hours while a large goofy smile stands gracing her soft lips.
'Looks like she got lucky.' Spike thinks before looking to Celestia who nods her head.
"I see. A red dragon you say? Odd. What color of red?" She asks.
"C-Crimson~" Orihime stutters out happily as she clings to her mate tightly.
"I see. So a Crimson Dragon, or better known as a "Ruby Dragon". They are just as fierce as Obsidian's, but lack the power to back it up. But even so, they are powerful non the less." She says with a firm nod of her head. Ichigo raises a brow.
"What kind of things can Ruby Dragons do?" He asks.
"I am not sure. Though I would assume they are similar to Obsidian Dragons and how they have more than a single form of power. If I can remember correctly, Dragons have a "Larva Form", then comes the "Awakened Form". After that, I am not sure. From what I can see you are in your "Larva Form" while Spike has just reached a stage in the "Awakened Form". Similar to Resurreccion from what I could tell, but without needing a Zanpakuto. But perhaps that could be of use?" She asks.
"It could be, but I hold no knowledge on my own "kind" as I had been kept away from the libraries where I knew the books were. Twilight had read them, but for some reason banned me from learning about my own kind." He says while looking at his feet.
"I see. Well, unfortunately those books are no longer around, as a fire had broken out and destroyed all the books and tomes in there. It was a major loss to the history of Equestria, but there is nothing I can do to change that." She sighs out. A letter forms before her in a flash of purple light. "Oh, it seems Twilight has found something out about friendship. Hm? It appears that Luna is having a slight problem. Spike, could you, Nightmare and Chrysalis go down to Ponyville and help her out?" She asks.
"Sure." He says before the three of them appear in Ponyville town square. Looking down he see's a large red "X" and grows confused. 'Why is there a...' His thoughts are cut off as many ponies jump out from behind various objects and yell out "SURPRISE!!". He jumps slightly and his wings fan out sending large gusts of wind knocking them all over. He gains a sheepish expression and mumbles out a, "Sorry...".
"Don' be. We scared ya'll, it's fine." Applejack says as she dusts herself off.
"Yeah, not like they listened to your mates about what not to do." Gilda hisses out while rolling her eyes. Dash brushes the dust off of her clothing which looked to be a dark version of the wonderbolts costume.
"Shadow Bolt? I thought you preferred the Wonderbolts?" Nightmare asks.
"Fuck that. Besides, the "Shadowbolts" are yours, why wouldn't I want to be with one of my lovely mates~?" She purrs out. Nightmare flashes her a fanged grin.
"You most certainly know how to charm a mare into your bed~" She slurs as the two kiss gently. Spike notes that many of the stallions in the large crowd lick their lips and give out whistles or cat calls, a few of them even sent out wolf howls. He growls lowly and black lightning flashes around him for a split second before Chrysalis wraps an arm around his hips calmly him down by her touch.
"Thanks.." He whispers.
"No problem at all, my King." She says loud enough for him, his mates and the elements to hear. She kisses him gently before parting from him and pressing her forehead to his. "You have nothing to worry about, we would never leave you." She says. "Well, I won't. I am to remain by your side for however long you live." She tells him.
"But Hollows aren't living creatures...." He mutters out.
"They are here. In fact many of my Changelings have bred with our Hollows to make half-breeds that hold the best of "both worlds" as it were. So don't worry. You're alive and healthy." She tells him softly as she kisses his neck gently.
"Th-Thanks..." He says softly.
"No problem love." She says with a soft wink.
Gilda, Dash and Luna walk up to him and smile lightly. "What do yah think?" Gilda asks with a grin.
"It's...I don't really know what this is." He says dumbly.
"You ain't had a party before?" She asks.
"No, I only ever received a book from Twilight." As he said this, Twilight moves towards him with a book, before giving a sheepish smile and backing away into the crowd.
"Hm. Makes sense seeing she's an egghead." Dash says rolling her eyes.
"She is my sister you know..." He mutters out.
"And she'll be my sister in law some day, so I have free game." She says.
"I...Right." He says face palming lightly and shaking his head gently. "I had forgotten we're engaged." He says.
"We are?" Chrysalis asks. He laughs nervously.
"I had said yes about marrying all of my mates, old and new, so in a way, your quite literally stuck with me. Surprise...?" He says sheepishly. Chrysalis purrs and pulls him close to herself.
"I'm fine with that~" She purrs out as she kisses him lovingly. He kisses her back lovingly before a pink blur slams into his chest making him cough.
"Did'ja like it!? Did'ja!?" Pinkie screams out excitedly.
"I uh...yeah. I like it. Can you please get off me...we're in a lewd position..." He says softly. Dash barks in laughter.
"That's too funny! The virgin is...straddling our..." She stops laughing and begins to growl. "You have five seconds before I kick your ass!!" She roars, her eyes become red and black. Pinkie pouts.
"But it's so compfy!" She whines.
"Move it or we kill you, Pony." Gilda hisses out angrily as Teresa forms in her hand. "Three seconds left." Pinkie huffs and gets off of him and folds her arms under her bust.
"Crazy women..." She mutters out before getting a wide grin and she turns to Nightmare. "Wanna sing a song~?" She asks.
"Depends. Is it a stupid thing that has to do with "friendship"?" Nightmare asks.
"No, not really. I was thinking more along the lines of..." She whispers the rest into Nightmare's ear. She gains a huge toothy grin and she whispers to Chrysalis, Dash, Gilda and Luna. The four of them grin at him as the five of them gain strange gleams in their eyes.
"Yes?" He asks.
"You go enjoy the show with the others, Chryssie and I have something to do~" Nightmare purrs before the two vanish along with Pinkie Pie in a burst of lime green.
"Okay??" He says n confusion. Looking over at his mates he notes that they are sitting at the top of bleachers that appeared thanks to Luna. He sits with them as Pinkie walks onto the stage before them while the ponies get into their "seats".
"Welcome everypony! Would any of you like to here some music!?" She screams into the microphone making the ponies cheer. He begins to wonder just what the hell is happening and where all of this had come from, along with how the sun had set so soon. He looks at the clock tower and grows surprised to see that it is 7:54 p.m. in the evening.
'How did I miss that?' He wonders.
"Then welcome your lovely Queen of the Night and the oh so beautiful Queen of the Changelings!" She yells into the mic and the two walk onto the stage wearing their respective countries clothing as well as looking like their original forms. Nightmare's dress looks slightly victorian with an Equestrian flare to it as well. Chrysalis wears a kimono that those Japanese humans used to wear with her hair styled in the eastern way as well.
Their clothing clings tightly to their amazing forms and he see's the stallions and a few mares stare drooling. He watches his two mates as they strut across the stage to the left and right sides of Pinkie Pie. The large crowd goes wild as the two stand their looking on at them with their slit eyes and smiling muzzles. Pinkie hands the mic to Nightmare and she thanks her before turning to look at her subjects.
"I thank you for the chorus of cheers on us and our looks. But I must say that you can all look, but not touch. Only one stallion, or should I say Drake, holds that right." She says cryptically making many in the crowd grow curious. "I would also like to thank you all for celebrating this night, it might not be what it was many years ago, but it is still wonderful to have a night dedicated to you." She giggles out.
The ponies cheer loudly making her flash a wide toothy grin. "Oh this is deffinately a most wonderful night indeed. I would like to say that Pinkie, Chrysalis and I are hosting a sort of musical to celebrate and so that many of you fillies and colts may enjoy your holiday of candy and other sweets." She says kindly making a certain little white earth pony colt with a brown mane and tail with dots on his body to light up with glee.
"Now, let us begin with the show!" She says while turning to the side and holding a hand out as two ponies step out onto the stage. One is blue wearing golden armor and the second looks to be wearing a red suite and shades. Spike notes that the blue stallion speaks about how they celebrate the night about how a "demon" who would eat the souls of the innocent. He rolls his eyes in annoyance and huffs.
"Always with calling us "demons"..." He mutters out loud enough for his mates and the elements to flash him a curious look. They all look forward as a piano starts playing in a strange and slightly haunting melody . A green pony rises from the crowd and sings a few lyric before a large hologram of Nightmare appears and roars out scaring the fillies and colts.
The pony in the red suite starts where the green pony wearing a green moth costume. The hologram shifts into that green pony singing about preparing for something. He grows curious when fog rolls in and lightning flashes. He grins slightly as he see's Nightmare's silhouette. Thunder booms and her eyes open. The red ponies shades flip off of his head in what he could assume is shock or surprise.
Nightmare grins widely and "roars" at them making them pass out from fright and the crowd to scream in terror, before roaring their applause for the show.
"My that was a lovely show, though I do believe that was the eighteenth thousandth time I had been called a hag. Oh well, please enjoy this next showing, it's from a different world all together. I believe it is called "This is Halloween"?" She asks as Ichigo and Orihime walk onto the stage.
"Yes it is. It was one of my favorite songs when I was little." Orihime says sweetly.
"Good, good. Well, on with the show~!" She yells out as Pinkie, Chrysalis and herself vanish from the stage. The stage darkens and shifts into a strange graveyard he had never seen before. The sound of the wind rolls past as a violin plays eerily.
"Twas a long time ago, longer now than it seems. In a place that you've seen in your dreams. For the story you are about to be told, took place in the holiday worlds of old. Now, you've probably wondered where holidays come from. If you haven't, then I say it's time you begun." Ichigo's voice rings out in the darkness of the stage.
The lights blast on and Arrancars dressed in various monster costumes float around singing about this is "Halloween" and gates open. Pumpkins slam down onto spikes of a fence with various toothy faces looking at the crowd. Arrancars dressed as witches fly around as many others dressed as monsters sing about a "Pumpkin King" and a scarecrow with a pumpkin head jumps off of it's perch and dances around breathing fire making the Arrancars "gasp" in surprise.
The ponies stare in awe as the pumpkin man jumps into a well and then rises from it. He smiles lightly seeing Ichigo standing on the water wearing a black suite with markings forming a large smile on his cheeks. At his side is Orihime who wears a tattered dress and painted blue. They stand before a yellow moon and share a kiss as the "monsters" sing and swing their arms through the air.
The stage returns to normal with all of the cast bowing as the ponies applause and stomp their hooves in approval. Nightmare reappears on the stage with a large toothy grin plastered onto her muzzle.
"Now THAT was a show! I have not heard of half of these monsters that I see before me, but they all look spectacular! And that fire breathing stunt! Wonderful homage to your dragon legacy there, Ichigo." She says.
"That was actually part of the performance. I wasn't really paying homage to anything." He says bashfully.
"Never the less, it was fantastic. And the kiss at the end, beautiful!" She praises before looking back to the crowd and bows politely exposing some cleavage. "It was wonderful to have you all watch the show, now please, enjoy the rest of your Nightmare Night!" She exclaims proudly and allows Pinkie to take over.
"Thank you everpony for tuning in and watching the show! Now we start NIGHTMARE NIGHT!!" She screams out before ripping her clothes off and has a...chicken costume on underneath them.
'What?' He wonders as he watches Pinkie Pie squawk like a chicken and run off after screaming at Nightmare about her eating foals or some such. Nightmare rolls her eyes.
"Please, I wouldn't dare eat foals. Adults are far more bitter, and I love my some dark chocolate~" She purrs out in the mic making many of the stallions to send out cat calls. He growls and rises to his feet before booming down onto the stage. He turns around and glares at the crowd.
"Keep making those damned calls and I'll gut you...." He says in monotone making said stallions to flee in fright as his clothing had turned into a "Vampony costume". He turns and is assaulted by Nightmare as she hungrily kisses him. Dash, Gilda and Luna all appear on the stage and snicker while Chrysalis smiles loving down at her mates. Nightmare parts from him and nips his bottom lip gently.
"Oh you are just a treat~!" She purrs out. He blushes heavily.
"How so?" He asks.
"Your the perfect blend of sweet and bitter. It's wonderful~" She purrs out as she bites into his neck and causes him to moan softly as she drinks from him, pleasure shoots through his body as he feels his fangs sharpen. His eyes begin to glow red and he bites his bottom lip as Nightmare pulls away. "Hungry~?" She asks with a purr.
"I...Yes..." He says ashamedly and looks at the ground. She tilts his head up and kisses him deeply.
"Don't be ashamed, love, your still quite young. This is your "new life" after all." She says with a soft giggle.
"I...right." He says with a blush. Chrysalis raises a brow.
"Why are your eyes red?" She asks.
"He is infected." Nightmare says with a wide fang filled grin.
"Infected with what?" She asks.
"Have you ever heard of Vamponies?" She asks as her eyes gain a gleam to them.
"Yes, I have actually. But...- No. You can't be serious!" She exclaims.
"Yep, I am the beginning of the stories. Now Spike here is one of them, however it was do to Luna's blood which also holds the same gene dripped into his mouth and he swallowed it. He is-" she is cut off by Ichigo.
"He's a Vampire? Now that makes far too much sense!" He laughs out. Spike growls and bares his fangs at him. "Easy there, or I'll keep you in the sun." Ichigo grins out.
"The sun has no affect on us, whatever gave you that idea?" He asks.
"I doesn't?" Ichigo asks with a slight tremble to his tone.
"Yes, I mean I did fight with you and Orihime during the day and all." He says rolling his eyes which are back to being green, however his tail is now purple with an arrow head tip while his hair turns green and his eyes are emerald green.
"What's happening to you?" He asks.
"Huh?" Spike says as he looks down at himself and grows surprised to see his bandages glowing faintly. "I'm not sure. Maybe it's a coming of age thing?" He asks.
"How old are you now?" Chrysalis asks.
"18, why?" He asks.
"Your coming of age, looks like your powers are setting in." She says with a firm nod.
"You know about Dragons?" Twilight asks.
"Of course! We have a few Dragons in the hive that have bred with us. We even have the Dragons as allies." Chrysalis says while blinking slowly as if she were confused.
"You have them as your allies!?" Luna exclaims.
"Er, yeah?" She says a confused look on her face. "Changelings and Dragons are part of the same "parent". We even share similar abilities. Wait, why does this even matter?" she asks.
"Because the Drakes are allied with the Griffins." Spike says.
"Isn't Gilda a Griffin?"
"I was, before I regained myself. Not shut up and keep talking damn it!!" Gilda roars.
"...I really need to educate you on better grammar." Rarity says while face palming.
"Go get shagged." Gilda growls out.
"I do not have a mate." She says politely. He had been noticing that while yes, Rarity is a tad bit snobbish at times, she has a heart of gold and is in fact, generous. He also notes that she is beautiful and any stallion or male would be lucky to have her for a mate. "And if I did, I would would be making sure he or she were to be happy. Even if that means they wanted to "shag", as you so rightfully put it, then I would comply happily." She says.
"Man your strange." Gilda deadpans before walking away towards Applejack who had been staring at him for a while now.
"So rude. I merely try to help and she grows mean." Rarity huffs out. He places a hand onto her shoulder and pats it gently.
"Don't worry, it's her way thanking you. Not sure where the "thank you" part is, but she is thankful non the less." He says.
"No I'm not!" Gilda roars a few feet away.
"See, she is thankful!" He says. Rarity giggles softly and flashes him a small smile.
"Thank you, Spike, I needed that." She says as she notes that her mane is losing it's curls. "Oh my goodness, I had better fix this!" She exclaims. He stops her by grabbing her wrist.
"Don't. It looks better with it straight and wavy." He says to her.
"You really think so?" she asks.
"Yes. Besides, your mane is purple as well as gorgeous. I dare say if you kept it down and wavy, stallions will come lining up to you for dates. Maybe you'll even get a prince, like you've been desiring." He says.
"I dare say that sounds delightful!" She says. "Though I don't know what prince would want me." She says rubbing her arm.
"Who knows? Maybe Shining Armor might want you?" He asks.
"Shining Armor? Twilight's brother? But isn't he just a commoner?" She asks.
"Pff, no! Their part of the royal family!" He exclaims.
"We are?" Twilight asks.
"Of course! You are my sister, right?" He asks.
"I am, I guess?" She says unsurely.
"And Celestia has been raising us, right?" He asks.
"Well, yes, but-"
"And she even told us to call her "mom", right?" He asks.
"Okay fine! We're royalty, happy!?" She screams.
"Very." He says with a nod. Chrysalis raises a brow.
"Is there a reason why we are talking about who's royal and who isn't?" She asks.
"I was telling Rarity that she could get a mate by keeping her mane down as well as being wavy. Personally I like seeing straight hair- er, manes." He says while running a hand through hers. She blushes lightly.
"You like my mane style?" she asks.
"I love all mane styles, it's just I prefer straight and wavy to be honest." He says with a small smile.
"I always have it that way through." She says.
"I know." He tells her softly and kisses her muzzle gently. She smiles down at him lovingly before running a hand through his hair.
"Well, I guess I had better keep my hair down then, no?" She giggles out.
"I guess so." He says. Gilda notes how hers, Dash's, Nightmares and Luna's hair are all straight or wavy in some way. She inwardly grins to herself and thanks for the straight hair.
"Now, mind explaining what my having the Dragons as allies is important?" She asks.
"The Drakes are with the Griffins and are supplying them with their advanced machines. I had recieved word that the Dragons are more advanced. Is this true?" He asks.
"Somewhat. They are advanced, but not with machines. With magic, yes. And while they do have machines, they aren't as fancy as the Drake's are." She tells him.
"I see. Well that is helpful. Do you think you could ask their leader to come here as soon as possible as that we may ask for their help?" He asks hopefully.
"I could, yes." She says with a nod. "But enough about this war, let's celebrate your birthday!" She cheers out.
"Fucking finally!" Dash exclaims as she fist pumps the air. "I have been waiting for a while to do this!" She whoops.
"You want to celebrate my birthday instead of Nightmare Night?" He asks.
"Of course, love." Chrysalis says. "Why wouldn't we?" She asks.
"I...I don't really know. So, what do you guys generally do for birthdays?" He asks with a small smile. Chrysalis goes to speak, but a shriek of terror rips through the sky catching their attentions. Looking over, they see a pony walking slowly out of the Everfree Forest, with the stench of death surrounding them.
"Fuck." Gilda says before howls resound from the forest and red eyes stare at them. "Guess we're gonna have to fight on your birthday, babe." She hisses out while summoning her axe.
"I don't mind. But let's make this quick, I don't think these ponies are normal." He says, and with that they rush forward towards the strange ponies, as a pair of Griffins wearing soldier uniforms fly away at top speed into the night.

CHAPTER ELEVEN!: "Nightmare Night Birthday Part 2!"
By, Vladimir
0o0o0o0
Spike watches as the strange ponies stumble around with their blood red eyes peering out at him and the others. A pony thinking they were brave strides up towards one of the ponies.
"What yah think yah doin', eh?" The stallion asks while sending a wink to a white mare with electric blue mane and tail wearing DJ's clothing as well as purple goggles. The mares shakes her head with an annoyed expression gracing her face. The stallion looks back at the pony and jabs a finger at it. "Well?" He asks.
"Uuuuuuhhh." The pony says before grabbing the stallions shoulders tight enough so he can't move.
"Hey! Let me go you buck- AH!!" He screams as the pony bites down onto the nape of his neck and rips a chunk of flesh from him. He screams in pain as another pony moves up from behind and chomps down onto his arm and rips a chunk off of that too. Blood shoots everywhere and ponies shriek in fright and run about. More strange ponies run from the forest and throw themselves at an orange filly with a purple mane and tail dressed up as a karate blackbelt.
It gurgles as it pins her down. The filly screams for help and Dash, who's eyes turned crimson like blood, rips the ponies head off and pulls the filly into her arms. A white unicorn filly rushes to Rarity and clings to her tightly, as Apple Bloom jumps onto Spike and clings to him tightly, her small form being racked by tears and fear. He watches as more strange ponies come from the forest and eat the poor stallion.
He covers Apple Bloom's eyes and points a finger at the large huddle of ponies feasting on the dying, gurgling stallion.
"I am sorry." He says softly before firing a Cero that wipes them all out. More strange ponies arrive, only these ones are running, and rotting. His eyes widen. "Zombies? But how can that be possible?" He says.
"WHAT!?" Ichigo and Orihime exclaim. "ZOMBIES!?!?" They scream out.
"We must contain them!" Luna says as bat winged ponies and Gargoyle looking Hollows appear around her. He nods his head lightly and Vasto Lorde's appear around them all.
"Indeed. We must make sure non of them reach the masses. Kill all and do not let the ponies get bitten!" He orders, and the Vasto Lords nod their heads and rush after the running corpses. He turns to the side and looks down at Bloom. "Are you okay, Apple Bloom?" He asks gently.
"Y-Yah." She says with the nod of her head. He notes that she isn't as young as she looks as her body seems to be developed well.
"How old are you?" He asks out of curiosity.
"S-Seventeen. Ah'll be Eighteen on December 25th." She says to him. He nods his head.
"I see." He says. 'I had the feeling she was.' He says inwardly. He notes her blush as he then notices that he is holding her closely to his form, and lets her go.
"T-Thanks." She says with a faint blush and refuses to meet his eyes.
"No need to thank me." He says before his eyes shift and in a swift motion he grabs her by the collar of her kimono, which he notes makes her look pretty let alone notes that she looks to have some Asian decent in her, and stabs his left hand out through a Zom-Ponies head making brain matter explode. He then throws the body towards a running one and manages to trip it and it kills itself by slamming it's head onto an incredibly sharp rock.
'I need to get the ponies out of here.' He thinks before setting Bloom down and looking at the others. He notes that Applejack flashes him a thankful smile before sending a look to Bloom that causes her to blush heavily and look away in either anger or embarrassment, he is not entirely sure.
"We need to get the ponies out of this town! Luna, contact Celestia and inform her of the situation. Nightmare, send word to Canterlot and ask for the Royal Guard. And Chrysalis," He turns to his new love, "Stay close to me, Dash and Gilda. Got it?" He says.
"Not problem." She says as she puts her left hand into her purse and pulls out a revolver. "A present from a friend." She says while cocking it. He notes that instead of one barrel, there are three and he also notes that there is no way to reload it normally.
"How much ammo do you have?" He asks.
"Unlimited." She says with a grin. "It's a magic Revolver, crafted by the Dragons." She says as the barrel spins slightly and a bullet explodes a Zom-Ponies head. She grins to him. "I can take care of myself." She says before moving to his side. Dash and Gilda slice Zom-Ponies apart left and right.
"Good. Now let's kill these fuckers so they can't eat our subjects!" He says as he dashes forward and stabs a hand through a Zom-Ponies head with Murcielago sheathed on his lower back similar to Tier's style of having her Zanpakuto when he would speak with her. He slashes to the side with a hand and decapitates another Zom-Pony with red energy following after the swipe. Bullets shoot around him rapidly as Chrysalis holds a second revolver and lets lose.
Dash and Gilda take his method of fighting and spin around making large bloody stains onto the earth while Luna and Nightmare use their Zanpakuto's to cleave them apart. Twilight uses her magic to send Zom-Ponies flying and splattering them across the ground or trees. Rarity lifts a hand and multiple diamonds sharpened to the point they could easily rip through rock and thrusts her palm out making the diamonds shoot out and rip the undead ponies apart.
He hears a scream and spinning around see's the three fillies being surrounded by a small horde of the undead bastards and rushes to them quickly as his clothing shifts into a red trench coat, hat and sunglasses.
'What is happening with my clothes? Do they have a mind of their own?' He wonders as he jumps into the air and stomps on an undeads head. His eyes turn crimson red as he rips them apart protecting the ponies. He feels their eyes on him as he swipes apart the Zom-Ponies into bites and a wide fang filled grin gracing his lips. He begins to chuckle before laughing openly as the moon begins to turn blood red.
The Zom-Ponies crowd around him and move to bite him, but he elbows on making it's head explode. He has a sadistic grin as his large fangs glint in the bloody moonlight. Punching the head off of one he gains a serious look on his face. He picks up the girls and appears in front of Applejack, Rarity and Dash and drops the three fillies gently onto the ground.
"Stay out of trouble you three, I don't want to see either of you injured. Understand?" He says softly. Bloom nods her head with a blush while Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell nod out of fear. He rises to his full height and rubs his head. "Now can someone please explain to me what just happened to me?" He asks.
"You went crazy and in a blood rage. It was hot~" Gilda and Dash purr out at the same time.
"Ah, I see." He says while wondering why they found it "hot". "Alright, let's get rid of these things before I lose my mind again." He says with a nod before the sound of armor rubbing against armor reaches his ears. He turns and see's Griffins coming from the forest dressed in armor wielding crossbows. He inwardly groans. "Really?" He asks.
"Apparently so." Luna deadpans. He notes that non of the Zom-Ponies bother with them and even help them for whatever reason.
"I think I found the cause of all this." He growls out. He moves to pull out Murcielago, and rushes forward. A Griffin notices him and fires a bolt at him only for it to bounce off his body and his blade to cleave said Griffin in half. A Zom-Pony moves to bite him, but he swipes his hand and sends the upper half of it's head into a tree. "Pathetic." He hisses out as Griffins fire bolts and arrows at him only for them to bounce off of his body once again.
"Really? That again?" He asks with an annoyed look. A large blue Drake slowly walks out holding a large axe like hammer that drags along the ground. He raises a brow. "What is this?" He asks.
"Your death, monster!" A Griffin roars. The Drake roars and swings his large weapon down onto him. He holds up a hand and catches the blade, but notes that it manages to cut his hand just barely making a small line of his blood to trickle off of his hand. Narrowing his eyes he pushes the blade back up before giving a kidney punch that staggers the Drake, but it swings at him from the side with little surprise or shock on it's face.
'This is not good.' He thinks as he ducks and the blade misses him by an inch before he swings Murcielago up and cleaves the weapon in half. 'But not bad enough to warrant my Cero .' He thinks with a nod. The Drake grins toothily as a large spiked spear wizzes past him and at Bloom who had picked up a large stick and went to help him by bashing the head in of a Zom-Pony. His eyes widen as the spear grazes her right side and is then kicked aside by Dash who fires a red Cero into the forest destroying a whole section of it in her rage.
Bloom staggers before using a piece of her clothing and ties it over her "wound". Underneath her kimono is a black belt karate gee. She rushes forward and her eyes look devoid of fear and replaced by determination as she spin kicks a Griffin in the crotch before flipping him onto his back and stomping onto his windpipe. Another Griffin snarls and swipes at her with his claws only for her to duck by bending her body backwards and kicks his claws upward before doing a hand stand and spins, kicking the Griffin repeatedly in the chest and throat.
Another large spiked spear shoots from the forest with hundreds more and rain down upon him and her as Chrysalis and Twilight put up shields that deflect the spears away. He runs to Bloom and while sliding on his knees a large axe-hammer spins over his face and slams into a tree cleaving it in half. He stands up and keeps running. He fires out Bala 's left and right tearing Griffins apart sending their bodies and blood crashing to the dirt.
He wraps his arms around her form while wrapping his eyes around both of them as a large green dome forms over them. The spears bounce off and are reflected right back into the forest where roars of pain and surprise resound through the air. He spreads his wings and small green needles shoot out and impale themselves into Griffins who had thought it a smart idea to circle around them without any sort of armor what so ever.
Scanning the area he notes that the Zom-Ponies are getting back up and those who had been partially eaten or even bitten are getting up as well. 'Shit.' He spats in his mind as hundreds of those things move out from the forest. 'Where are the Hollows??' He wonders. An explosion goes off and a small Hollow is thrown from the forest by a large orange Drake who crushes the head of another Hollow. His eyes widen.
'Impossible.' He thinks. More large Drakes move out of the forest, some are covered in hollow blood or ash. He narrows his eyes as they move closer with more Griffins alongside them. 'A raid as well as a message. So they think they can harm my home, can they?' He thinks as he rises to his feet. Bloom gets up to her hooves and stands at his same level of height and blushes as his arms are still wrapped around her waist.
"Y-You can let go of me now." She stutters out. He nods and lets go over her and goes to say something, but a small object goes through her side and the sound of a miniature canon goes off. Her eyes are wide as she stares at something behind him. He turns and see's a Drake holding two revolvers each with two barrels as smoke rises from one of the barrels. The Drake grins toothily at him as he fires another bullet that zooms towards Bloom as she holds her side tightly .
She stares with wide fear filled eyes as the bullet gets closer and closer, before a hand shoots out and the bullet collides with the palm and keeps spinning before stopping and being crushed into ash as the hand crushes it. Bloom looks up the pale arm and see's Spike with his eyes being covered by his hair that whips around. The wind seems to howl like a wolf as his hand trembles. He bares his teeth as they shift into fangs that look capable of tearing through whatever they so desire.
He looks up at the group before him as his green eyes become emotionless as they were when he was part of Aizen's army. He drops the bullets ashes to the dirt before dashing forward and looks like a blur as he appears before the Drake and bites down onto it's through and swings the dead body through the air, it's head detaches from the body and blood sprays everywhere as the body is thrown into a Griffin before that same Griffin is cleaved in half by his new claws.
His tail whips around and using his changeling abilities makes it so the tip gains sharp pincers that cut the head off of another Drake and stabs his hand through a Griffin's chest cavity before spreading his hand making the body explode in a bomb of blood and gore. Spinning around his foot punts the arm off of a Drake and a Zom-Pony is sliced in half by his tail. Vasto Lordes move from the forest covered in blood before they roar and stand back to watch the carnage.
He growls like a feral beast as he rips through Zom-Pony, Drake, and Griffin alike making the ponies who stuck around to watch the blood bath. A Griffin runs towards Bloom and grabs her pant legs screaming for them to forgive them as they were "following orders".
"Please!! Forgive us and call off that beast!! PLEASE!!!" He screams in utter terror as despair is all that is left in those who had not been killed hold in their hearts and eyes. Bloom stares at the Griffin with eyes that show sadness, but not forgiveness. The Griffin snarls. "I'LL KILL YOU!!" He pulls a combat knife from his boot and stabs down at her chest. She stares with wide eyes, but then they grow calm as the Griffins arm is torn from his body. He screams in pain and thrashes about on the ground trying to escape his fate.
"You dare touch her?" Spike asks mockingly as Bloom stands with his arm around her hips, her side patched up by bandages that are made from her old kimono. He looks at the terrified Griffin with a sick mirth in his eyes. "You, you attacked my kingdom and brought the dead back just to kill the living? You, who killed ponies on this land and even injured a friend? And now you beg for the forgiveness of these ponies whom you had tried to kill by using their dead? For shame on you, filthy cur." He says in monotone.
Turning to the ponies and his mates he asks, "Do they deserve mercy? To be forgiven for desecrating the dead and attacking you all with them, let alone willingly try and kill a child? What is your answer!?" He asks.
"No mercy." Applejack says surprising them all. Dash nods.
"Kill them, make them suffer for eternity." She growls out.
"No mercy." Scootaloo says.
"No....No mercy." Sweetie Bell sobs out as she hugs Scootaloo tightly. He notes that the two have their scents on each other.
'They are lovers? Good for them.' He thinks to himself while smiling inwardly as his eyes return to their green luster. Chrysalis points her right thumb down towards the dirt and he nods his head.
"End them." Gilda spats out in hatred as the Griffins stare at her in shock and horror. "I stopped being a Griffin when I regained who I was. I don't give a SHIT for the race besides my family that raised me. The rest can die for all I care." She hisses out and crosses her arms over under her bust.
"We must agree that they are to be executed, but not in such a way." A motherly voice says shocking them all. Looking over he see's Nightmare, Luna and Celestia standing their with their guards and a few Vasto Lordes wearing armor. "I believe they should be put on trial before being executed, as is the law of Equestria. I will not have my subjects watch a public execution, especially on this day." She says sternly making him shudder in slight fear, knowing that if he and her were to fight, he would lose.
"As you wish, Celestia." He says with the bow of his head. He goes to turn, but a gun shot resounds through the air, making everyone stop what they are doing, and Applejack's voice screams two words that sends fear into their hearts.
"APPLE BLOOM!!!"

"APPLE BLOOM!!!" He hears Applejack scream at the top of her lungs after a gunshot had gone off. Apple Bloom slowly drops to her knees a her blood splatters across the ground around her. A gaping hole in the center of her chest and her wide tear filled eyes staring up at him as she collapses onto the ground. Drakes, Zom-Ponies, and Griffins to attack once again in their stunned moment.
Apple Bloom looks up at Spike and Applejack as they hold her hands tightly within their own. Orihime rushes to them and a yellow/orange dome forms over her. She coughs weakly and the dome melts away before she can heal.
'What's happening? Why is her ability not working?' He wonders before feeling Bloom's hand tighten onto his. Looking down he see's her looking up at him with teary eyes. He feels tears forming as her pulse starts to waver and slow down. Time seems to slow as Chrysalis fires multiple bullets in a rage as Celestia sends her guards after the Griffins and Drakes as they hide behind trees and speak into a radio about more back-up. The Hollows howl in hunger as they charge, only to have black spears pierce their heads and kill them.
More red eyes peer from the shadows of the forest and arrows rain down towards them. Zom-Ponies rise from those who had been bitten or partially eaten, as strange looking Griffins wearing black suits and masks carrying rifles send bullets down upon them.
He looks into Bloom's eyes as she speaks to him softly.
"Spi...Spike. A...Ah wan' ta th-thank yah." She whispers out weakly.
"For what? We're going to save you, Bloom. We'll heal you." He tells her firmly as he feels her grip tighten on his hand. She smiles weakly up at him.
"Fer th' fun we had when eva yah w-would visit...Ah l..loved it. Ah wanted ta tell yah this...a-aftah tenigh', bu' Ah guess Ah won' get tha chance, so...A-Ah'll tell yah now." She says before coughing up crimson liquid that splatters against his cheek lightly. Her blood drips down her chin gently as her eyes seem to be losing their light.
"What...What is it?" He asks.
"C-Come closer..." She squeaks out tiredly with a weak voice. He moves down closer to her and she whispers out, "Closer...". He moves his face before hers and she leans up and kisses him gently, her blood gently passing his lips and into his mouth as he feels her tongue enter. He blushes heavily, but closes his eyes and leans into the kiss feeling love oozing from her and into him. He feels his tears slide down his cheeks and drip onto hers.
He pulls back and looks down at her with teary eyes as she weakly laughs.
"Ah finally did it..." She coughs .
"How...How long?" He asks in sorrow.
"S-Since Ah met yah..." She says softly. He places a hand to her cheek and cups it. "Ah...was gonna ask yah if ya'll would accept me....bu' Ah nevah got th' chance." She says weakly with a small smile. Dash and Gilda had moved to their side as Luna and Nightmare along with Chrysalis had been listening as they let lose hell upon the Griffins and Drakes.
"We would have." Dash says with a sniff. "We would have accepted you, Apple Bloom. We accept the ones who hold love for us and Spike, you know that." She whispers out. Bloom flashes Dash a small smile.
"Thank...y-yah, Dash." She says softly. Gilda bows her head gently.
"I know I didn't know yah too well, but I could tell you had a thing for him, hell, you had a thing for us. So I would have accepted yah with open arms." She tells the dying mare who's eyes lose their shine and dull slightly.
"Ah'm glad...Tha' Ah could know tha' mah dream was a possibility...." Bloom says with a smile.
"I...I could heal you, Bloom, to help you reach your dream and live it! Just please, stay a little longer!" He begs her. She smiles up at him lovingly and cups his cheek gently. She leans up and he leans in and kisses her gently, she reciprocates and kisses him back sending him more of her love as they close their eyes once again. Parting she looks up into his eyes and her smile seems to weaken slightly, but holds it's loving quality.
"Ah....love yah S-Spike. Don' ferget tha', an' don' cry ovah me, please, smile fer meh." She says softly as her hand starts to grow cold. He closes his eyes and opens them as new tears form and gives her a soft smile. She nods her head weakly and closes her eyes gently. "It's...so warm...." She says as heat forms in her chest, but her body grows colder and colder. "It's...so nice..." She tells them weakly as her breath stops and her hand gently falls into his lap.
He grips her hand tightly and bows his head as tears of sorrow and pain rip from his tightly closed eyes. Rain drips down as if the world was mourning for the loss of a pony that had much to live for. Throwing his head up he cries out to the top of his lungs as rain falls upon the world. Silence reigns to him as he weeps in sorrow loudly to the heavens.
Chrysalis bows her head and grits her teeth at some-pony so young dying, before firing hundreds of bullets that tear through trees like they were paper. Nightmare and Luna slice apart their targets in anger while even Celestia is pissed as she summons golden halberds to cleave apart Drakes and Griffins alike. Applejack sobs into Bloom's bloody chest as Dash and Gilda rush off to join the fight.
Twilight and the others along with Scootaloo and Sweetie Bell crowd around Bloom's body mourning the loss of friend and sister.
Spike feels something rise within him, something that demands release. Getting to his feet he walks silently towards the battle as bullets wiz past him with arrows and other items. His eyes are covered by his waving hair that whips around in the wind as he stalks towards the ones who had killed Bloom.
He growls and his eyes glow crimson as his nails become the same. He jumps into the air before vanishing in the night as the storm rages. As the ponies mourn the loss of Bloom, they don't notice her right hand scrunch up slightly making claw marks in the soft dirt as her injury begins to close underneath her clothing.
Chrysalis stands with her revolver pressed up against a Griffins forehead and pulls the trigger blasting it's brains across the ground and it's blood to splatter against her cheek. She ducks under the swipe of a Drakes axe-hammer before kneeing it in the crotch and blasting it's head off with all three barrels smoking. Summoning a lime green scythe she holsters her revolver and uses the scythes pole to black a Griffins downward strike with a sword.
She kicks the griffin in his jewels before spinning around and slicing his head off before ducking under a Drakes claws and cuts it's hand off before spinning the scythe and slicing the Drake in half with such accuracy she manages to slice it clean up the middle. She jumps into the air as a Griffin swings down with a war-hammer and axe-kicks down onto the Griffins head breaking it's skull and having it's head roll across the ground letting blood spray into the air.
She changes the lime green scythe into a spear and stabs a Drake through the throat and spins around on the spears rod kicking Griffins and Drakes to the ground before pulling up to the side with the spear slicing the Drakes head clean in half. Changing the spear into a double edged sword she stabs backwards and pushes down spilling a Drakes guts as it groans it's last breath before dying.
She spin-kicks a Griffin to the ground and bends backwards dodging a broad sword and slides on her knees. Putting her sword up into the air she stabs a Drake in the stomach and pulls down spilling it. It's blood sprays through the air as it thrashes about on the ground. She stomps on it's head killing it and sending blood and gore splattering across the ground. She swings to the side parrying a Drakes claymore and then jumps up and cuts it's head off.
Pushing off of the body she spins through the air dodging more bullets and arrows before pointing a finger down at a group of Griffins and Drakes and forms a lime green Cero that makes their eyes grow wide. She grins wickedly and fires the beam that then creates a large pillar of smoke and flame as the explosion knocks her up higher into the air. Her sword dissipates and a katana forms across her lower back. She grips it by the silver hilt and unsheathes it where she then flickers and appears behind a staggering Great Drake. Re-sheathing her katana the Great Drake slides apart into multiple bloody pieces.
"How pathetic." She says mockingly as she flickers her wrist making her enemies blood fly off of her claw like nails. "Your nothing but trash." He growls out and goes to rush another Griffin, but stops as he screams in pain before a hand bursts from his chest. Her eyes widen as she see's crimson eyes looking back at her. "Love...?" She asks.
"GeT bAcK." He grunts out as if he were holding himself back from something.
"Alright." She says and then flickers away. She appears back with the ponies who all look slightly scarred. To the right she see's Celestia, Luna and Nightmare sitting on pieces of buildings away from the fight. "What's happening?" She asks.
"Spike had asked us to "get back". I assume you were told the same?" Luna asks.
"I was, I had just finished toying with some Drakes and Griffins, but then on the last one he told me to retreat. What's gotten into him? I mean I know he's an Obsidian and all, but he's acting totally different." She says worriedly.
"The death of Apple Bloom was a hard toll on our love. It would seem he is taking out his rage on the ones responsible for her demise." Luna says with a sad sigh. A soft cough catches them all by surprise after sitting in silence for moments on end. Looking over, they see the most amazing thing.
Apple Bloom, was sitting up.
"W-Wha' happened?" She asks while coughing and rubbing her throat lightly.
"APPLE BLOOM!!!" Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo and Applejack scream out and hug her tightly.
"Guys! A-Ah can't br-breathe!!" Bloom cries out as she coughs from lack of oxygen. The three mares let go of her, only to have Applejack hold her tightly and sob into Bloom's shoulder.
"Yer alive! An' yer okay!!" Applejack cries out happily through happy sobs.
"Well ya Ah'm fahn, bu' wha' happened? Wha's goin' on?" She asks in confusion.
"After you had passed, Spike has been...not Spike." Fluttershy says softly.
"W-Wha' do yah mean?" She asks worriedly.
"He's killing the Griffins and Drakes mercilessly, all because one of those Griffins shot a hole through your chest, which by the way killed you. Which brings up another question, how are you even alive?" Twilight asks bluntly.
"Ah...Ah dun'no. All Ah remember was tellin' Spike that Ah loved him, then a great heat formed in mah chest, an' then Ah fell asleep." She says.
"But your breathing stopped, even your pulse stopped! You died!!" Twilight exclaims.
"But Ah'm here now!" Bloom retorts angrily and her usual gamboge eyes flash crimson for a split second. They stare at her with wide eyes. "Wha'? Wha's wrong?" She asks.
"Your...Your a Vampony, Bloom." Scootaloo says in shock.
"Ah-Ah am? B-But tha' doesn't make any sense! Ah never-" She stops as her eyes grow wide. "Tha kiss!" She squeaks out.
"What kiss?" Nightmare asks.
"When Ah kissed Spike, Ah swallowed down some warm liquid that Ah thought was mah own blood." She says rubbing her chest lightly. "Ah guess he was bleeding, an' his blood is wha' saved mah life." She says with a soft smile.
"I see, well, that is certainly interesting." Luna says with a slight grin. "Guess this means you get your dream after all." She says with a wink. Bloom blushes heavily.
"Ah guess so. But we should tell Spike tha' Ah'm okay!" She says with a smile as she gets to her hooves, Nightmare goes to stop her, but it was too late. Bloom stares at the bloody bodies of the Drakes, Griffins and fallen Zom-Ponies and her eyes turn deep crimson and fangs form from her jaws. Her pupils thin into slits and she rushes towards the screaming.
Spike ducks underneath a large axe hammer and cleaves the Drake in half up the middle as multiple ripped apart and crushed Zom-Ponies litter the ground. He rolls to the side as his eyes glow bright crimson as he swipes to the side with his hands severing a Griffins head off as more fire their weapons or swing them around in hopes of cutting him only for them to miss and him to rip them apart bloodily.
He slides around on his feet as he dashes across the dirt ground pulling them apart and making their blood splatter everywhere as they keeping fighting back. He goes to stab his hand down at a lone Griffin only for him to miss as the Griffin is knocked aside by a blur of red and yellow that has wind coming off of it. He looks to his right to see something that shocks him.
He see's Apple Bloom drinking the Griffins blood as she holds him up lightly and has red translucent flames raging off of her body. Her eyes are no long their gamboge color he last saw, but dark crimson with slit pupils that hold a predatory hunger to them. His eyes begin to change back to their green cat like luster as he gazes upon the living, or undead in this case, Apple Bloom. She releases the dried up Griffin and looks him straight in the eyes.
He is frozen in a type of trance as an arrow clips his cheek just as Applejack had been running to them holding her lasso. The arrow pass her and his blood flies into her mouth as it whizzes by. She unconsciously swallows the black blood and keeps running with Dash ans Gilda at her sides as they rush to help them fight off the reaming Drakes and Griffins, which was about four each as eight in total.
He stares at Bloom who slowly walks over to him, she looks to be taller and far more adult than before as she strides over to where he stands stock still.She stands before him and gently cups his cheek gently before bending down and pressing her lips to his. He gets out of his daze as he closes his eyes and leans into the kiss causing her to snake her arms around his hips and pull him close to her form.
The crimson markings begin to vanish from his body as his hair shortens to normal as his crimson pulsating claws revert back into his black nails. She parts from him and he blushes heavily as he pants lightly. Her arms tighten around him and she looks down at him lovingly.
"Apple Bloom?" He breaths out as he gains control over his erratic breathing. She nods her head gently.
"Eeyup!" She chirps out with a smile. He feels a strange pressure in his chest as a bond forms and a second one begins to form. He grows confused, as does Bloom as they notice the new bond that connects them together and to the others. A cry of pain rips them from their thoughts as they turn to see Applejack on her knee's gripping her throat tightly as if it were burning her. Her eyes shut tightly as tears move down her cheeks gently.
"Applejack!" Bloom calls out as she rushes to her sister taking hold of his hand and dragging him along for the ride. The two speed over and slide down next to AJ as she coughs strange black liquid that drips down her chin gently. His eyes grow wide as her veins seem to pulsate with black energy as he notices fangs forming in her mouth.
"How...?" He asks softly as Bloom kneels down next to her older sister.
"Yer blood must have entered her mouth like it did mahn." She says. He looks to her in surprise.
"When?!" He gasps out in shock.
"When Ah kissed yah, yer blood was in yer mouth and Ah swallowed it. Guess it saved meh, huh?" She says with a small smile as AJ seems to calm down. He notes that Bloom's gamboge eyes are back but her pupils remain slit instead of round. He watches AJ open her eyes and he stares into her emerald slit eyes that glow brightly in the shadows.
"Spike?" She coughs out as she rubs her throat. "Wha' happened ta me?" She asks.
"Yah turned inta a Vampony lahk me!" Bloom says with a sad smile. AJ stares wide eyed.
"Bu' how?" She asks.
"It must have been when the arrow cut my cheek. Some of my blood must have entered your mouth and down your throat." He says with a light smile. "I hope your okay." He tells her as a bond forms with her and him. AJ feels the bond form and looks up over to Dash who grins widely.
"I got two friends part of this "herd" now! Awe yeah!!" She whoops out. Gilda raises a brow.
"What about me?" She asks.
"Your more of a filly-friend~" She purrs out as she wiggles her brows in a strange manner.
"True~" Gilda purrs back and kisses Dash lightly. He begins to wonder how they are still bonded, but soon remembers that they all do indeed love each other. He smiles lightly at them before feeling lips press against his. He shivers and looks down to see AJ kissing him as Bloom has her arms around his hips tightly.
"Wha' abou' us?" AJ asks innocently. He blushes heavily.
"Er....-"
"Your both accepted." Chrysalis says with a wink as she kneels down with them. His blush grows heavier as his Queen winks at him. "Though I do wonder what apple ponies taste like~" She purrs as Bloom and AJ blush heavily.
"Yeah...Chrysalis is the er...."lead dominant" for us." He chuckles out sheepishly as the Changeling Queen nips lovingly at his neck.
"Damn right I am~" She purrs out before getting to her hooves. "Now come on, we have to tell the others about this, if they haven't figured it out already." She giggles out. He nods his head and gets to his feet. Turning around he see's his friends and other mates standing there.
"Um, hi?" He asks.
"We'll accept them if they visit." Luna and Nightmare say at the same time.
"Though you will be staying here." Celestia says firmly shocking everyone.
"W-What?" He asks.
"Your having a vacation." She giggles out dropping her serious mask and a large smile graces her lips. "You need it seeing as you've been working non-stop at the castle and helping the Espada's with protecting our country. I think you need one, concidering how little rest you actually get." She says softly.
"I...Thank you, Celestia. But what about Nightmare and Luna?" He asks.
"We'll be at the castle with Dash and Gilda. We're needed to train the troops as it were. So you, Chrysalis, Bloom and AJ will have plenty of time to yourselves to get more acquainted. And don't even worry about us "getting lonely", we'll have each other." Nightmare says with a saucy grin as she eyes Luna, Dash and Gilda as if they were large pieces of Nightmare Night candy before they all vanish in a flash of golden light. He blushes lightly.
"Er, right." He says. "But where will we stay?" He asks.
"With us." Bloom and AJ say at the same time. He and Chrysalis smile lightly.
"Alright." He says.
"Nah wai' righ' there!" Big Mac says as he walks up to them. "Some-pony bettah star' explainin' what the hay is goin' on here!" He orders. AJ and Bloom glare at him as their eyes glow. "What the...?" He blinks in surprise before looking to Spike for an explanation.
"Er, well their sorta...Vamponies now. I think before I tell this story, that we head to the farm where Granny Smith is waiting." He tells Big Mac who looks to be having a mental break down. "Or before the giant red stallion collapse-" Big Mac thuds to the ground unconscious, "-s. Fuck." He deadpans before sighing. "Man this is annoying!" He groans out.
"We'll let you deal with that." Twilight says as she, Fluttershy and Rarity sneak away leaving behind a blood stained field, Celestia must have cleaned up, and the others behind with the passed out stallion.
"Let's ge' goin'." AJ sighs out as she lifts Big Mac up and begins walking towards the farm. Chrysalis, Bloom and him nod in agreement and follow towards Sweet Apple Acres to go and explain to Granny Smith what had happened that night.
'Oh this is gonna be weird!' He thinks to himself as he sighs and lets his shoulders sag while following his mates, his head bowed.

Spike stands before the Apple house on Sweet Apple Acres standing behind AJ and Bloom as AJ holds Big Mac over her shoulder. She knee's the door a couple of times and a series of locks sound off before the door opens widely revealing a green old mare a red and white checkered dress. Her old silver mane and tail are styled in a bun with a few strands of hair poking out all about. He grabs Chrysalis' hand and holds it tightly as the old mare scans him with her old amber eyes as if she were judging him.
Her old lips upturn into a large smile and she moves between Bloom and AJ and hugs him tightly.
"Well howdy there Spike! Wha' yah doin' 'ere youngin'?" She asks. He blushes lightly as his mates snicker softly.
"I'm, er, here to explain a few things as well as drop Big Mac off, Miss Granny Smith." He says with a sheepish smile. She rolls her old amber orbs.
"Nah wha' have Ah told yah abou' yah callin' me Granny?" She asks. He blushes lightly and clears his throat.
"Er, well that sorta goes into other boundaries now...eheh." He says pointing his index fingers together sheepishly. She gains a bright twinkle in her eyes as she grins widely to him.
"Ya'll finally been asked ta be Applejack's mate?" She asks, well, more like cheers. He blushes heavily as Bloom and AJ giggle. Granny Smith's eyes widen and her grin morph into a bright toothy smile. "Both O' 'em eh? Wonderful!" She exclaims while doing a little jigg.
"I didn't really ask them, they sorta got brought into my, er, "pack"." He says. Granny stops her jig and looks to him with a raised brow.
"Ya'll have a pack?" She asks. He nods and moves to the side revealing Chrysalis who smiles down at the old mare.
"Hello Granny Smith, I'm Queen Chrysalis, the lead dominant for Spike's "pack" as it were. We had agreed Bloom in joining, though the circumstances weren't the best and then the same for Applejack. We're actually here to tell you about it." She says politely.
"A Queen eh? How lovely! Come inside youngin's an' tell ol' Granny Smith abou' how this came ta be." She cheers and walks past AJ not even batting an eye to the unconscious Big Mac.
"Did she not notice Big Mac?" He whispers.
"Nope." Bloom says. And they go into the house. AJ plops Big Mac into a chair at the table and slaps him a few times, waking him up. Looking around frantically he speaks jibberish before remembering what had happened. He goes to speak, but Granny Smith tapes his mouth shut with some tape she took just out of Spike's view.
'How the hell do these ponies do that!?' He thinks to himself. The old mare then sits at the head of the table and smiles at them all.
"So, wha' is this story?" She asks.
"Well, you see, and before I tell you you can't freak out, okay?" He starts off. She nods her old head and sighs out a breath softly. "Apple Bloom was shot." He tells her. Granny's eyes grow wide and he puts his hands up. "Now before you start freaking out, she's fine now. Okay mostly fine." He says.
"Wha' do ya'll mean "mostly fahn"!?!? My gran-filly has been shot!!" Granny roars. Bloom slams her head against and groans catching her by surprise. "Yer alive Bloom?" She asks.
"Well, not exactly." She mutters out.
"You see, as she was dying she sorta er..." He blushes lightly and Bloom takes over.
"Ah proclaimed mah love fer 'im an' kissed 'im! Then Ah swallowed some o' his blood by accidant when we kissed an' well, Ah'm bettah nah. Well, mostly." She says with a sheepish giggle at the end.
"Bu' how can tha' be?" Granny asks.
"We became Vamponies when we swallowed his blood. Though Ah'm not sure tha' makes us alive anymore." AJ says bluntly. Granny Smith doesn't look fazed by the news.
"Tha's all?" She asks.
"Er, yeh?" AJ says.
"Well shoot! If'n ya'll said tha' in tha beginnin' Ah wouldn't had freaked!" Granny laughs out. He blinks.
"Are you not worried about Bloom and AJ being non-ponies?" He asks.
"No' at all! In fact! Cousin Braeburn is a Were-Pony! An' we still keep 'im around!" She laughs out. AJ and Bloom stare with mouths agape as Big Mac passes out once again.
"He is!?!?" They scream out. Granny nods her head.
"Eeyep! So, what er yeh Spike?" She asks. He looks down and shifts around awkwardly.
"Er...I'm a hybrid between a Hollow, a Vampire, a Changeling and a Dragon..." He mutters out. She nods her head and gets to her old hooves.
"Follow meh." She tells them and they follow leaving a passed out Big Mac behind. They move into the living room and he see's Granny Smith holding a large brown leather book which makes AJ and Bloom gasp.
"Bu' Granny! We ain't suppose ta touch tha' book!" Bloom says. Granny rolls her eyes.
"Ah told yah tha' so ya'll wouldn' fin' thangs out tha' fillies aren' suppose' to know abou'!" She exclaims.
"Oh." She says with a light blush tinting her cheeks.
"In this book there be tha history o' the Apple Family, the darker side o' i'." She says making odd "ooing" noises and waving her arms around while wiggling her fingers. He blinks with a blank face at the oddness of what is happening before him. "The Apple Family wasn' always jus' farmers yeh nah. We had been huntahs an' tha hunted." She says.
"Hunters and hunted of what?" He asks.
"Oh all kinds o' thangs! Vamponies, Were-ponies, Zom-Ponies, Ghouls, so on. We ha' been in Princess Celestia's side since tha beginnin'!" She explains.
"B-Bu' wha' abou' now?" AJ stutters out. Granny flashes her a kind small smile.
"We don' hunt our own, Applejack! If'n we did, we'd be so little!" She barks out.
"Wha' do yah mean?" Bloom asks.
"Many o' tha Apple Family ain't normal ponies, Bloom! In fac' quite a few o' us tha' were "monstahs" would hunt down tha bad ones!" Granny explains as she flips through a page of a book depicting a pony holding a cross bow pointing it at a large Werewolf-Pony that stands over innocent ponies. "In fac' we Apple's knew abou' tha Hollows! They wou'd help us when evah we'd get close ta there homes in search o' a monstah!" She says proudly while secretly glancing to Spike as she flips another page of the book that looks far older than the book itself.
A picture of a small Hollow with bat wings and a whip-like tail wearing an all too familiar mask is shown protecting a few Apple's from a large looking Vampire-Pony that wears a counts cape.
"Look familiar?" She asks. He stares wide eyed at the picture as he reaches out and touches it gently before looking up at Granny.
"When was this picture made?" He asks.
"I' was made along wi'h two othahs tha' may look familiah to yah." She says as she pulls out two other pictures. One depicts a large looking panther and the second resembles a praying mantis like Hollows that are shown protecting the Apples once again. He stares with wide eyes.
"Dash and Gilda..." He breaths out making Chrysalis, Bloom and AJ look to him in surprise.
"Ah had a feelin'." Granny says with a nod.
"But...this would mean we had been here before, but I can't seem to remember anything!" He exclaims while throwing his hands up into the air.
"Yeh will with time, youngin'. Bu' do yah see whah Ah took it so well?" Granny asks. He nods his head lightly and she smiles. "Good, because this ol' mare needs'ta get'ta bed. Me ol' bones need tha rest." She says while walking towards the stairs with the book under her left arm. "Oh, an' ya'll will be stayin; 'ere alrigh'? Ah wanna get'ta know mah gran'son-in law." She says with a wink to Spike making him blush heavily. She chortles and stalks up the stairs eerily quietly making him wonder if she is some sort of specter.
"Well that was certainly interesting." Chrysalis giggles out before yawning. "Where do you sleep Bloom? I get the feeling AJ and Spike will need some time alone." She says sending a wink to him and AJ.
"Awe, bu' Ah wanted ta join!" Bloom cries out before pouting. Chrysalis moves in next to her and nips her neck gently.
"I'll keep you company~" She purrs and Bloom grins widely before dragging a cackling madly Chrysalis up the stares and into what he assumes is her room, as a door slams afterward leaving an eerie quiet to set in onto the old house. He clears his throat nervously.
"S-So, uh, wh-where do I sleep?" He asks.
"With meh." AJ says calmly. He blushes and nods his head lightly.
"A-Alright." He tells her before getting to his feet and moves over to her side after she gets to her hooves. He goes to say something, but she beats him to the punch.
"Wha' did tha Princess mean abou' yah not gettin' the righ' amount of rest? Have yah been havin' nigh'mares or somethin'?" She asks with concern in her tone as slight worry shows in her eyes. He averts his gaze from her eyes as if he had done something wrong, let alone the fact that she could tell when one lies by looking into their eyes.
"I haven't been sleeping well. I generally just stay up for nights upon nights on end and keeping working as the others rest. There's always something to do." He says. It was a half lie, yes, but it was also a half truth. She narrows her eyes.
"There's somethin' else isn' there?" She asks. He closes his eyes and goes silent. She takes a step towards him. "Spike, tell me now!" She says with a warning voice. He trembles slightly and she grips her chin and turns his face to her. He opens his eyes and she notes the pained look in them along with the tiredness and tears that form before her very eyes. "Spike?" She whispers out softly.
"I keep seeing things...! I'm always seeing things in my dreams...!" He whimpers out as he bows his head as if he were a failure.
"Hasn't Princess Luna or Nigh'mare Moon been helpin' yah?" She asks. He sniffs softly.
"Neither of them have been able to enter my dreams. I tell them that I'm keeping my blocks up just on the chance that I lose it again. But...it's more than that." He tells her softly. She holds him close to herself and rubs circles into his back as he leans into her more as if he were trying to escape into her.
"Ah'm here, Spike, Ah'm here. Le's get yah ta tha' bed an' keep talkin'? Tha' sound fahn?" She asks. He nods his head gently and steps back from her, only for her to pick him up bridal style and carry him up the stairs. He huffs softly as a thick blush forms across his cheeks.
"I can walk you know..." He huffs out as he deadpans to her. She rolls her eyes.
"Ah know, bu' Ah lahk ta carry yah, ya'know?" She tells him.
"No. I'm always being carried by my mates! I never get to do things on my own...." He sighs out while folding his arms across his chest.
"Ah can see whah, it's nice ta carry yah, Ah mean yer so lahght an' small!" She teases. He glares at her making her chuckle lightly. "An' then there's tha'!" She laughs out softly making him grumble lightly under his breath before he is dropped onto a large plush bed. He blinks and looks around the dark room. The light flicks on and he looks to AJ who stands with a hip cocked and a brow raised with a small smile.
"Yah lahk?" She asks. He nods as he looks around the room. He notes the redish painted walls that have orange apples decorating it as the wooden floor is covered with a bright apple green rug. The bed he sits upon is large possibly a queen or king size. He notes that the blankets and covers are bright red and the pillow cases are deep blue like an ocean. He looks back up at her.
"Yeah, it's nice and roomy." He says making a bad joke. She rolls her eyes.
"Righ'. Well it's gonna be tha room yer gonna be stayin' in, so yah bettah lahk it." She says with a playful wink. "Though yah do bring tha room, though Ah think yah'd bring it out more if yah weren't wearin' those garments~" She purrs out. He blushes before remembering why they had came up here.
"But, I thought we were going to talk about-" She cuts him off by capturing his lips deeply and passionately as her hands roam his body feeling him up. He shivers as her fingers curl around the bottom of his shirt and pulls it up off of him exposing his bare chest. He blushes heavily as she runs a finger around his hollow hole before nipping at his chest. He pants softly as her fangs press down against his bare neck.
Her emerald eyes glow as hunger forms in them and she sinks her fangs into his neck and drinks. The warm liquid rushes through her and she closes her eyes as pleasure builds up in them both. He moans softly as she drinks from him and moves her hands to his groin where she gropes him. He gasps softly as her fangs move deeper into his neck before pain begins to shoot through him. He bites his lower lip in pain as he feels her draining him more and more.
"A-Apple....j-jack...!" He whimpers out softly as her sharpened claw like nails stab into his sides and hips causing his black blood to trickle from the wounds. He yelps softly making her come back to reality as he begins to lose consciousness. She pulls her fangs from his neck and pulls her fingers out of his sides and hips.
"Spike?" She asks. He looks up at her tiredly as he grows weaker and weaker to the feeling of sleep overtaking him.
"Applejack...I'm so tired..." He whispers out softly as his body heals and his blood regenerates. She notices that his color comes back, but he still looks tired. She then remembers why they were up there in the first place and sigh softly while bowing her head.
"Man Ah'm a terrible mate..." She sighs out softly before crawling under the covers and pulls him up close to her. She smiles softly. "At least I can keep him safe and warm while he sleeps." She says softly before sleep takes hold of her, unaware of the pained expression on his face as a tear slides down his cheek.

Luna and Nightmare stand from their thrones as a large bubble that puts darkness to shame forms before them and the echoes of screams of pain and chains rustling. They move towards the bubble only to be knocked back by a strange energy. The shadows around the room leap from their places and spiral around the blacker than space bubble like clouds of destruction. They narrows their eyes and share a nod with one another.
"We need the others." Nightmare says and Luna vanishes before reappearing with with Celestia, Gilda, Dash, Bloom, Chrysalis, AJ, Rarity, Twilight, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
"Why ahr we here?" Bloom asks tiredly.
"You see this bubble?" Nightmare says as she points a finger at it. They all nod. "This is Spike's dream bubble. Normally we'd help with ponies and other beings dreams, but lately he has been shutting us out, even skipping sleep for some reason. We tried to enter it, and those clouds formed as a strange energy pushed us back." She states.
"We need to know why this is happening. Do any of you know what is going on?" Luna asks. AJ bites her lower lip and they all turn to her.
"Ah got 'im ta talk before Ah lost control and drank him till he passed out." She admits with a sigh. Nightmare nods her head lightly.
"We've done that as well, well, except for Chryssie and Bloom, that is." She says with a nod.
"But what did he tell you?" Luna asks.
"That he keeps seeing these thing an' otha' things. We were gonna talk abou' it more, bu' then Ah lost control...." AJ says with an ashamed look on her face.
"I see. Then we must forcefully go into his dreams. It'll feel like we're being pricked by a dagger, but only for a second before it goes away." Nightmare says as her horn lights up and their eyes glow just before Shy could squeak something out. She and Luna close their eyes and place their horns together and they all are sucked out of their bodies and into the pitch black bubble.

Pain, that was all AJ could feel for a split second before it vanishes. She opens her eyes and blinks a few times. Looking around she notes that she is sitting in an abandoned looking house from the olden times before even Granny Smith. Getting to her hooves she stumbles about the room looking for a door before one opens before her revealing Twilight having an orb of light hovering in the palm of her hand.
She helps AJ up from the floor as she had fallen over in surprise when the door opened. She nods her thanks and looks around the room now that it is lit up.
It was empty.
"Is this where you woke up?" Twilight asks.
"Yah, an' wha' abou' ya'll?" She asks.
"We woke up surrounded by black shadow creatures. Luna calls them nightmare beasts as they feed and form from nightmares." Twilight explains.
"Ah see, an' where is Spike?" She asks.
"We don't know. I was hoping you would." Twilight says with a sigh. She then waves her hand. "Come on, we have to meet up with the others. We'll find him, I promise." She tells AJ who nods and follows after her. They spot their friends sitting at a run down looking building that looks like a barn of some sort.
"There back!" Bloom exclaims getting the rest's attention. She runs into AJ's arms and the two Apples hug happy to know that the other is safe.
"Wha's goin' on, Bloom?" AJ asks.
"We dun'no. Luna thanks we may be in'a mem'ry of some sort." Bloom informs her. She nods her head lightly.
"Ah see. Alrigh' le's go find Spike. Ah thank we migh' find 'im at tha center o' all this." AJ says. Luna nods her head wisely.
"Very true. Those who are trapped within a memory like dream, are generally are found at the center of it all." She says with a sage like nod. They move around through a town as Celestia gains a look as if remembering something that was to happen. She then gains a pained expression as tears form in her eyes like she were mourning an old friend who passed far too early for their time.
"What is wrong, sister?" Luna asks.
"I remember this place. I had sent the Apple's here to deal with some sort of "monster problem", but when they sent the letter by raven, they stated that the town had fallen. I and my guards rushed here as fast as we could, but by the time we arrived, only two Apples remained." She says with a pained sigh and look as tears form in her eyes. "I had asked them what happened, what had caused such destruction. And they said that they were ambushed by some sort of creature. I believe it may have been a Hollow." She says while bowing her head as if in shame.
"Bu' Granny said tha' tha Hollows would help us!" Bloom says in surprise. "Whah would they hurt us?" She asks.
"This was before they were being helped. In fact, this was the exact time one Hollow helped them get rid of the "monsters". They said it had fought against Were-Ponies and masked beasts that were attacking the town and each other for whatever reason. The two that survived had been hiding inside some sort of cage where they found a strange creature covered in wounds while chains were keeping it stationary. They noted all of the science equipment and pieces of flesh that had been removed from the creature." She says with the bow of her head.
"Wha' happened nex'?" Bloom asks. Celestia smiles down at the young mare at her eagerness to learn more about her family.
"They freed him, after finding out it was a him, by accident and after they did, A Were-Pony tore into the cage trying to kill them, only for the creature to open it's eyes and rip apart the Were-Pony as if it were paper." She says.
"It saved them?" Twilight asks.
"Yes, HE saved them. He then helped them get through the town while protecting them and fighting off any sort of other beast. They had then been attacked by a large creature, a Were-Drake, if you will, but there were more Were-beasts it had to deal with. Oddly enough, the masked creatures worked with him and helped to end the beasts. And then turned onto him and he was forced to slaughter them, lucky two of the beasts stood by him and they slaughtered the Hollows, before the very same two left, and he had gone towards an empty cave. I then arrived and, at the time, this town was destroyed." She says, ending her long winded and rather confusing explanation.
Bloom, AJ and Chrysalis stare at her with wide eyes.
"What is it?" Celestia asks.
"We know who those things were." Chrysalis says with a slight tremble to her voice.
"Who were they!?" Twilight yells out.
"Dash, Gilda, and the one that saved them, was Spike." She says with wide eyes. Celestia's own eyes widen.
"Ulquiorra...! That's why the name sounded so familiar! Ugh! I'm so stupid!" Luna roars while face palming repeatedly.
"I feel the same, Luna. I wish I had pieced it together, but it would seem that he was here before joining that "Aizen-Sama"." She says with a sad look, before a small smile forms on her lips. "Though I am grateful for his and their help when we had to face against Sombra." She says while looking at Gilda and Dash with a grateful look. They stand there grumbling.
"Yeah, yeah! Your fucking welcome! Now can we PLEASE figure out what the fucking hell is going on and when this memory gets to the good parts!?!?" Dash roars.
"Right. Well, looks like we're needing to wait then for when the Apples arrive." Rarity says with a huff and crosses her arms and sits onto a boulder. They nod and sit down around the rock and in wooden rocking chairs. They watch as ponies move around the town and the sun begins to set towards the mountains.
"It's about evening, so they should be arriving here soon." Twilight says while rubbing her soar neck and shoulders at being stuck in a wooden rocking chair for the whole day. They see four hooded ponies wearing cloaks walking towards the western styled town as dust rages across their hooves. They stride past them and head into the local saloon where AJ, Bloom and Chrysalis follow in curiosity.
"Wha' yah want?" A bartender as he pours a mug of whiskey.
"We're not here for the drinks, my friend." The lead hooded pony says with a strange accent.
"Wha' kand o' accint is tha'?" Bloom whispers.
"It sounds Trottslevanian but I could be wrong." Chrysalis whispers back.
"Oh? Then wha'?" The bartender asks.
"We're here to see the mayor, something about a Were-Pony problem?" The second hooded pony says making the ponies in the saloon to drop everything they are doing and stare at them.
"Are ya'll tha' huntahs?" A blue furred pony asks while wearing sheriffs clothing asks. The lead hooded pony narrows their emerald green eyes.
"Depends, are you Sheriff Blue Wing?" They ask.
"I am." The sheriff pony says as blue feathered wings spread from his back.
"Ah remembah Dash sayin' tha' she had a family membah named Blue Wing!" AJ whispers out in surprise. "Ah think this is 'im." She tells them. They nod their heads and keep watching as the hooded pony and sheriff pony leave after talking about meeting with Mayor Dusk.
"Come on." Chrysalis whispers out and the three of them tail the hooded ponies and sheriff to the Mayor's office that was just across from the saloon for some odd reason.
"Come in." A mares voice says. The three of them move to the window at the side of the office and peer inside and watch as the Mayor, who looked closely similar to Mayor Mare but with dusk purple fur and stardust colored mane and tail, speak with the lead hooded pony about their problem. Apparently, from what they gather, there had been attacks made by Were-Ponies, Vam-Ponies, and Ghouls, let alone masked monsters, Hollows, attacking them after the towns "scientists" brought something back with them that was to "mark a new age for Pony-kind!".
"I see, then you shall need to pay triple the amount." The lead pony says.
"Triple!?!? I'm already paying you four-hundred bits per hour! How can I pay twelve-hundred bits per hour when the mines are blocked off by those foul beasts!?!?" Mayor Dusk roars. The lead hooded pony raises red hands up in defense.
"I had meant after the job was done and the mines were re-opened. We understand how hard it is for you and your town to pay, or even go on, with the mines closed." They say with a nod of their hood covered head.
"I see." Mayor Dusk says before closing her eyes and sighing. "Very well, twelve-hundred Bits it is. Now please, deal with these monsters." She says. The leader nods and turns towards the last two hunters.
"I want you two to stay in the town to make sure that nothing wrong goes down. And to check on this "item" that these "scientists" found." They say. The two nod their heads and the leader along with the hunter beside them moves out of the office and towards the mines. The first of the two in the office pulls their hood down. They note that he is a colt around 17 years of age while the other hunter is a mare of about 18 years. They also note that she looks exactly like Applejack.
"I need to know where your hotel is, we have been traveling for weeks just to get here, if you would be so kind." The colt says with a strange accent neither of them had heard of before.
"Of course, I'll show you where the hotel is, but may I ask where you are from?" Dusk asks.
"I was born in the badlands during my parents traveling from their home. If you want to know where they came from, I do not know, they had said it was a beautiful place, but never said where it was or the name of it." The colt says with a sad tone at the end.
"I see, and may I know your names?" The Mayor asks.
"Cer'ainly! Mah names Golden Delicious, though mah friends an' family call meh Applejack, no' really sure whah." Golden says while rubbing the back of her neck and flashing a sheepish smile. AJ stares wide eyed at the mare that looks exactly like her.
"Tha' does explain a bit...." Bloom says before her eyes sparkle. "Wai'! Ah remembah Granny tellin' us abou' how yah got yer name! Remembah how she said tha' yah were named aftah our grea', grea', grea' granny?! Ah thank this is who she meant!" Bloom squeals out happily. AJ blinks at her sister before nodding her head.
"Ah can see tha'." AJ says with a blank look.
"But she looks exactly like you, perhaps your a reincarnation of her?" Chrysalis asks.
"rein-wha'?" Bloom asks.
"Reincarnation, it means you were alive at some point, and then came back. You know of "past lives" right?" She asks Bloom.
"Well yah, Cheerilee told us all abou' tha' befer summah started!" Bloom states.
"Well that's what a reincarnation is! In fact, Dash, Gilda and Spike are technically reincarnation's, but on a stranger level." Chrysalis explains. Bloom nods her head.
"Ah get it." Bloom says.
"Will ya'll shush up so we c'n listen in!?" AJ hisses out.
"Sorry/S'rry" They say. AJ nods and they turn back to look into the window just in time for Dusk to ask the colts name.
"And what of your name?" Dusk asks. The colt places a hand to his chest as if checking to make sure something was still there before looking up at the Mayor with hard eyes.
"I was named Crimson but now I am Crimson Apple." He says as he looks to Golden with a loving look. Golden smiles back to him cheerily making Dusk smile at them.
"You two are married?" She asks. Crimson shakes his head.
"Not yet, we have a few more months before the wedding, but I can hardly wait to be with my Golden Delicious Apple for the rest of my days." He says with a small fond smile as his light pink eyes seem to hold a loving glow to them as he looks at Golden.
"I'm glad you two have each other. It has been some time since I had seen my husband and children. But, I was needed here. Now, if you will follow me I shall show you the way to the hotel." Dusk says with a fond smile as she and Blue walk out of the office with Crimson and Golden walking side by side.
"Come on!" AJ says as the three of them tail the four ponies through the shadows. As they pass by where their friends are, Dash grows curious.
"AJ? What are you three doing?" She asks gaining the others attention.
"We're following them as to find out more about what's happened. We might even find Spike if we're lucky." Chrysalis explains quickly before catching up to Bloom and AJ with the others on her tail. They follow the four ponies into the local hotel and notice that it is mostly abandoned.
"What has happened here?" Crimson asks. Dusk sighs.
"When the mines lost workers and the monsters attacked, most of the townsfolk and visitors either left, stayed, or died. A good couple thousand ponies are left in the town." She explains.
"Tha' mus' be hard." Golden says solemnly. Dusk nods her head with a sad sigh.
"It indeed is hard, but we will get through this like we always have." She says with a small sad smile. Twilight takes notes on the ponies and even glances at AJ who gives her a sheepish smile before growing serious and they follow after Golden and Crimson through the halls as the two enter their room.
"Now then, we need to figure out where this "item" is so we can figure out a way to stop the attacks." Crimson says firmly as he pulls out a strange looking revolver that is far before their time.
"Ah know, Ah know! Bu' we still need ta' sleep!" Golden huffs out tiredly. Crimson gives her a sad look.
"True, for the most part that is. I'll sleep with you tonight, if you want." He offers. She gives him a sultry look and pulls him close to herself before planting a deep, heavy passionate kiss. He growls softly and grips her bottom tightly underneath her robes and feels her up. She parts from him.
"I bucking need you now~!" She growls out in a purr and pushes him onto their bed before stripping from her clothes and putting her odd weapons against the wall.
"Maybeh we should wai' ou'side." AJ says with a blush and leaves the room. The others nod and follow after her. They sit in the hall and wait for the two lovers to finish their love making.
0o0o0o0o0
"Are you fuckin' kidding me!?!?" Gilda roars as the sounds of moans and heavy thuds against the walls keeps going. "They've been fucking each other for four hours!! When are they going to do anything else!?!?" She roars out as she kicks a wall only to pass through it.
"We must wait till they are finished, besides, didn't you and Spike fuck for six hours after becoming one of his mates?" Dash teases with a knowing smirk. Gilda huffs.
"I road him for seven hours, SEVEN, get it right!" She growls out.
"Can we please no' talk abou' this righ' now?" AJ asks.
"Fine." The two of them groan out as if their fun had been ended.
"Ah thank they stopped." Bloom says as the sounds had ended and the sounds of clothes and weapons being shifted around are heard. The door bursts open with Crimson and a fully awake Golden rushing out. "She dun look tired ta meh." Bloom says.
"Perhaps they are just good like that?" Fluttershy asks meekly.
"Maybeh." Bloom mutters out before she and the others follow after them. They notice that ponies are screaming as a Were-Pony roars and charges towards a small group of them. Dash on instinct pulls out Pantera and goes to attack, but stops as Crimson pulls out a black revolver looking crossbow and points it at the Were-Ponies head as he appears above it and fires. The bullet like arrows tear through the Were-Ponies head. The body drops to the ground with a sicken squelchy like sound.
Howls echo out through the night air as more Were-Ponies and even a few red eyed ponies, Zom-Ponies, arrive into the town like ghosts. He lands onto the ground and pulls out another revolver looking crossbow, only this one is white, and points it at the charging Were-Ponies.
"Get them inside, Golden, I'll deal with these." He says evenly before holding his right arm over his left and opens fire. Golden nods her head and turns to the ponies.
"Come on! We hafta get insi'e!" She tells them and as she goes to lead them away, a large Drake roars and swoops down, knocking her through a building that looks to be the bank. It roars once again as it breathes it orange hot fire down upon the building an a few of the other ones making more ponies rush out screaming. It swoops down and chomps down onto a pony while stabbing it's claws through three more and takes off into the night sky.
More Were-Drakes screech and swoop down from the mines and mountain as large spiders crawl along the mountain side towards the town. AJ and the others stare with wide eyes as hundreds upon hundreds of monsters charge into the town. Explosions erupt from the mines and the first two hunters shoot out of the mine holding those strange looking crossbows and swords as they tear through the monsters as they make their way back to the town.
Golden walks out of the burning bank unharmed, aside from her cloak being torn, and pulls out trowing daggers and sends them flying into Were-Ponies heads along with crushing Zom-Ponies heads with her boot covered heels. She spins around and lets more daggers fly into Were-Drakes joints before igniting the wires connecting to the daggers that then explode the Drakes apart into bombs of gore.
"Get inside!" She screams to the ponies as they run about in panic. The large spiders reach the town and tackle a few ponies and drag them under ground. She curses under her breath before pulling out a rapier and jumps into the air where she stabs at the spiders and Were-Beasts sending lightning bolts down upon them. She spin kicks a jumping spider away before making it explode with her lightning enchanted rapier.
She lands and rushes to Crimson who is being pinned by a large Were-Drake who has it's claws running through his side. She jumps into the air and roars out, "Leave my fiance alone!!" before stabbing the rapier through it's head and sends millions of volts of electricity through it's body cooking it instantly. Crimson pulls the claws out of his side and coughs up a little blood.
"Buck I hate it when that happens...!" He coughs out as if it were a daily occurrence. Golden pulls out a strange looking vile that holds a acid green looking liquid in it. She pulls the cork out and lets a few drops of the liquid go into his side which then heals up as if nothing had happened. "Thanks. love." He sighs out in relief.
"No problem, babe." She says with a wink before growing serious and rushes towards a filly who has a Zom-Pony running after them. She jump spin kicks the Zom-Ponies head right off of it's shoulders before stabbing another through it's head with her rapier. Turning to the filly she notes that she has a few scrapes. "Were you bitten?" Golden asks. The filly nods and she bows her head. "I'm sorry...." She tells the filly who nods her head solemnly and raises her chin with her eyes closed. "I'll make it quick." She says and the filly nods as her resolve shows on her hard face.
Golden raises her rapier and shakily waits as the filly starts to twitch and falls to their back. She closes her eyes and stabs forward as the sound of gurgling growls comes from where the filly once was. Opening her eyes she sends lightning coursing through the blade making the newly made Zom-Ponies head explode before sighing sadly and running towards the other two hunters who are killing monsters left and right. She jumps and spins through the air as she sends lightning bolts raining down upon the monster horde.
"Thanks." The leader says as she, as her hood came off and showed she looked similar to a younger Granny Smith, shoots arrows into a Were-Drakes head between the eyes.
"When are these things just going to stop coming!?!?" The second exclaims before the monsters roam the town and destroy buildings as more and more just seem to come into the town by the hundreds. Crimson puts his crossbows away and pulls out a large claymore like sword with a skull and bones guard. He cleaves monsters left and right before there were just far too many as they keep bypassing him and going into the buildings killing and devouring the ponies.
"Damn it!" He growls out before rushing to Golden's aid as her Rapier had been knocked away by a masked creature. His eyes glow faintly as he swings down and lops it's head clean off. They watch as the body turning to ash or white sand and vanishes into the darkness. He turns to her and asks, "Are you okay, love?" She nods her head and picks back up her rapier.
"Yeah, bu' wha'ever tha' thang was, lightning didn' do a thang ta it." She says with a worried look. "Wha' kind o' creature's are we dealin' with, Crimson?" She asks.
"I'm not sure, but we're not enough to handle this many monsters, and if there are more of those things, then we might be in over our heads." He sighs out. She nods and they rush towards where their leader was supposed to be, but what they found was far worse.
"Oh mah Celestia...!" Golden gasps out as tears form in her eyes. They stare as a masked beast devours the insides of their fellow hunters before looking up at them. It releases a howl like roar that AJ and the others all know, and shiver as more howl like roar echo out through the pich black darkness in a haunting manner. She turns to Crimson. "We hav'ta hide!" She says in fear.
He nods his head in agreement and see's a building with little damage caused by it. "We'll go in there after sending the princess a letter." He tells her firmly and pulls out a parchment where he scribbles down onto it rapidly and whistles. A raven hovers down before them out of the darkness and takes the letter before flying back into the darkness of the night. "Okay, let's go." He tells her and they sprint towards the building where they jump their a window and stay in the shadows.
AJ and the others follow after them as they leave the carnage and burning town behind them towards the untouched building. They enter it and watch as Crimson holds Golden tightly to himself and rubs circles into her back.
"I'm sorry about her." He tells Golden who nods and sniffs softly as she buries her face into his chest. Crimson looks up and over to the back of the room and see's a large looking black safe and grows curious. He rises to his hooves and strides over to it where he presses an ear up to the door and hears the faint sounds of chains moving around. "Someone's in there." He says.
"Then we should get them out." Golden says with a sniff and clears her head with a shake and moves to his side. AJ looks to the others with a smile.
"Ah thank we found Spike." She tells them.
"We did." They say happily before they watch as Crimson stabs his claymore into the side of the door and pushes it open where it makes a heavy creaking sound that echoes throughout the building. They take a step into the safe where they see something they were not expecting.
They see a masked being with skin as white as the very moon. It's large bat wings nailed into the walls as dried black blood moves down in trickles. It's thin whip like tail is nailed to the floor as it's body is chained all over with heavy chains that look to belong for ships that go across the sea's. It's body is covered in cuts and pieces of it's flesh are cut out from it's body. They see a wooden table covered with tools and said pieces of flesh.
The being's eye lids remain closed and it's chest barely rises. They grow shocked that it is still alive with a hole running through it's chest, but considering what they had seen so far, it isn't the weirdest thing.
"This isn't right." Golden says sadly. Crimson nods his head.
"I agree, even if this thing looks like those masked bastards." He growls out. "Nothing deserves to be tortured like this." He says.
"Maybe this is why those masked things are here? Maybe the "item" is this creature?" She says. He nods his head lightly and places a hand onto his chin.
"That seems like a high possibility." He says to her before looking around the room.
"Maybe if we free it, then those masked monsters will leave?" Golden says. He nods his head and lifts his claymore onto his back and walks over to the nailed and chained down creature. He kneels down and begins pulling the nails out of it's tail as Golden works on it's wings. She looks down at between it's legs and blushes.
"Give him something to cover up with." She tells him. He raises a brow.
"How do you know it's a he?" He asks. She deadpans.
"Oh I don't know, perhaps the dick or the balls are a good indication?" She deadpans with a brow raised. He nods and wraps a piece of cloth around the beings waist that covers his "private bits" as the nails are all taken out from his body;
"Alright, now we just-" A loud crashing sound echoes and they spin around to see an alpha Were-Pony standing in the doorway of the safe snarling and drooling. Crimson goes to chop it in half, but it stabs it's claws through his abdomen and throws him into the far wall behind the being. Golden sends a bolt of lightning out, only for it to be sucked into the steel of the safe and sent back into her rapier making the blade explode and sends her flying back into the being roughly.
It howls and the noise echoes through the safe as it then lunges towards Golden who stares with wide eyes as it's claws and jaws are close enough to touch. She screams and closes her eyes while holding her arms over her head. The sound of a yelp causes her to open her eyes along with the sounds of a gasp and liquid splashing against the floor. Opening her eyes she see's a black mass stabbing it's way through the Were-Ponies stomach as it whimpers and yelps in pain.
Soft breathing echoes from behind her head. Turning around she see's the beings eyes are open. She notes that they hold a cat like quality to them as the slit pupils and green eyes peer into her emerald ones. She looks back to see the black mass moving up slowly cutting the Were-Pony in half up the middle. The body drops to the floor as it's insides and blood oozes and puddles around the floor. The being rises to it's taloned feet and places her onto her hooves before it's tail pulls Crimson to his own hooves and stares at them silently.
"Thank you." Golden whispers out in surprise as the chains look to be cut clean by the wings. It nods it's head lightly before looking at the doorway of the safe and looks back at them, as if asking them to follow him.
"Where do you plan on going? Monsters and masked creatures are littering the town and killing ponies left and right. What can you do?" Crimson asks. It looks to the dead Were-Pony and then the wall of the safe where it flexes it's wing. The wing tips cleave through the wall like paper, and it then looks back at them. "R-Right." He says with a nod and the being walks out of the safe with it's body healing instantly. As they get outside, everything grows quiet as the masked beasts stop and stare at it .
It looks at them and silently nods it's head and the masked creature lets out a symphony of howl like roars as they move against the monsters and fight against them. Crimson and Golden stare with wide eyes as the very creatures that killed their fellow hunters, follow the simple nod of this one being and help them to get rid of the monsters.
"How did yah do tha'?" Golden asks. The being tilts his head lightly to the side as if asking "what-do-you-mean". "Ah mean how they're helpin' us agains' tha monstahs." She clarifies. He makes a shrugging motion as if saying "I-don't-know" before walking down the dirt road with them by his side, before they become ripples and thick fog like mist obscures AJ's and the others veiws.
"Wha's happenin'?!?" Bloom cries out in surprise.
"It would seem memory has ended, but I fear that Spike is somewhere else." Luna sighs out sadly.
"Wha' do yah mean?" AJ asks.
"What I mean is that our love is somewhere in this mist, or fog, or whatever you feel like calling it. The memory has ended and we must go find him." She explains. They all nod and move through the mist and look around as a dungeon forms around them. The sounds of chains rattling against a brick wall reaches their ears.
"This way." Nightmare says and they turn down a hall where they are confronted by strange looking shadow beasts that hold pitchforks and have glowing yellow eyes filled with hunger. "Great, more of these things." She sighs as she brings out her Zanpakuto. "We may need to get through these things first." She tells them. Gilda steps forward with her axe drawn and a blood thirsty grin plastered onto her lips.
"Fucking finally! After watching all that shit, I've been itching to kill something!!" She cackles out as she stabs forward and cleaves a shadow beast in half making purple blood splatter against the walls and floor. The Shadow Beasts roar and rush her. She cackles madly as she cleaves them apart covering the walls, floors and ceiling with their purple blood. She frowns toothily. "Tch, fucking weaklings. Probably don't have the balls to kill anything." She hisses out angrily.
"Perhaps not, but we now have a path towards Spike. Now lets go." Chrysalis says with a nod and runs down the hallway with the others after her. They move down the hallway and reach a cell that has darkness oozing from it. Looking inside they see Spike chained like the creature was in the memory they had walked through, the only difference is that the chains are shocking him and his eyes will sometimes flash crimson before returning to their green luster as if he is fighting to keep something back and down.
He cries out in pain as the nails seem to become heated and smoke rises from his wings and tail making him shudder in pain. The Darkness circles him and thin tendrils jet out and stab into him making him cry out in more pain. They stare at him as he pulls on the chains and nails with all his strength and for neither of them to budge. He pants heavily as the items inflicting his pain cease and he is allowed to breath. Gulping down another breath of air he looks up at them with wide surprised eyes.
"H-How..." He croaks out weakly. AJ narrows her eyes as they begin to glow soft pink and light pink energy seems to rise from her. She raises a hoof and kicks the bars on the door only for the darkness to lash out at her and send her flying back into a wall. She growls as the pinkish energy pulsates around her and a double sided lance begins to form in her right hand. She grits her teeth as the lance pulsates with pink lightning that circles it's tips.
She spins the lance around before stabbing at the darkness making it part for her. She moves through the parted darkness as her right eye is bright pink with a white slit and left is emerald green with a black slit.
"We were worried about you." Nightmare says as she and the others join AJ in the room as they tug the chains off of him and pull the nails out of his wings and tail. "I had Luna bring them to me so we could come into your dreams and help you get out of this darkness, but I fear this isn't something that will go unless we hit it's source." She sighs out the last part sadly.
"The...source?" He pants out after being freed.
"Sombra, the Stallion of Darkness and Hatred. We fought against him two thousand years ago." Celestia says with a sad look.
"I see, so why do I hold this inside me?" He asks.
"Because ya'll were there." AJ says as she kneels before him and hugs him tightly and closely to her form. "Ya'll was tha one tha' Ah have mah name. Thank yah." She whispers out as she kisses him deeply. When they part he gives her a confused look.
"What do you mean?" He asks.
"We had to get through one of your memories, and we saw you here in Equestria! You were the one who saved those two apples, remember?" Chrysalis says in hopes of jogging his memory. He blinks before his pupils dilate and he grabs his head tightly and screams in pain as images and fights flash through his mind. Gilda and Dash drop to their knee's as they remember it all as well. The three of them pant heavily and look at each other.
"How the hell did that fucker get into our minds?!" Gilda hisses out angrily. Dash nods her head as Spike gets to his feet with a hard look on his face.
"When Sombra get's free again, I'm going to make sure he pays for what he has done!" He growls out in fury as the darkness begins to spiral around him as if reacting to his him for some strange reason. Celestia and Nightmare stare at him with wide eyes as the darkness gains eyes that glow green and begin to merge with his shadow as if becoming one with him.
"I think this is not all Sombra's fault." Nightmare says making him look up at her. "Your darkness is a part of you, yes, Sombra's darkness is in you but it isn't causing you harm, not like it was before when you were rejecting it, but helping you. It would seem that your Draconic side is interacting with your other sides and merging with them." She explains. He blinks at her.
"Like it's fusing with what I am?" He asks. Nightmare nods her head lightly.
"Exactly that, though it seems odd, you hold a similar feel to myself, Sombra and even Discord. I wonder why." She says while rubbing her chin lightly.
"Perhaps it has to deal with who his father was?" Luna asks. Spike gains a strange look at he turns to Celestia.
"Who was my father? Better yet, who was my mother?" He asks. Celestia sighs softly.
"I am not sure, as I have told you before. But I feel that in time you shall find out, we all will." She says sagely with a knowing nod. He nods his head and looks at them.
"So, can I wake up now? I feel better." He says. Luna and Nightmare nod their heads and with flashes of light, they along with the others, vanish from his dream world, which morphs into Hueco Mundo fused with Equestria, and back to their bodies in the real world. He closes his eyes and feels himself vanishing from his dream world, but not before opening his eyes again to see those two woman once again, only this time, their holding his cleavers with grins gracing their lips.
And with that, everything turns white, and he returns to the real world unaware of the powers that are awakening.

Opening his eyes he notes the bright sunlight that rests just beyond the horizon as the large orb of fire and gas rises up over the trees and hills. He feels a warm body next to his with arms wrapped around his waist as the soft sent of apples and cinnamon with a small hint of strawberry and mint. He looks down to see Applejack who rests her head on his chest while wearing a torn green short shirt that just barely covers her breasts and a torn green skirt that covers her private bits but reveals her amazingly well toned legs.
Her orange fur seems to glow softly along with her sand blonde mane and tail as the sunlight cascades across her magnificent sculpted body. He brushes a few bangs out of her face as to gaze at beautiful face and brushes a thumb against her soft lips as they seem to invite him as he longs to capture them. He moves his head down and gently presses his lips to hers as he feels a sort of fire burning within his chest as his dominant side takes hold.
The room seems to grow darker even as the sun shines into it, and his eyes glow haunting and would likely cause onlookers to gain nightmares as his shadow spreads like a wildfire across the walls and windows blocking out more of the light. The darkness caresses their forms as he lightly runs a hand through her mane and lightly takes in her sent.
She begins to stir as he holds her close to himself as the darkness begins to recede back into his shadow and the sunlight causes the room to glow faintly. Her emerald and pink eyes open softly as she looks into his green cat like eyes. She notes that he is holding her as if she were some sort of precious item that needed to be kept close or some-pony else may take her. She giggles inwardly from the image of him ripping apart multiple ponies trying to take her away from him before growing slightly worried as she begins to feel a sort of pleasure forming from seeing him ripping other beings apart.
Could she be losing her ponymanity? Is her new life changing her or could it be something different all together? She soon forgets her thoughts as his cool touch sends shivers up and down her spine while igniting some form of flame deep within her that yearns for her to take him.
"Spike?" She mumbles out as her sleepiness begins to leave her.
"Yes, Applejack?" He asks in a loving, calming manner that for some strange reason causes her inner flame to grow and roar as if it were a raging fire.
"Do yah remembah wha' happened?" She asks. He nods his head silently as a strange far off look forms in his eyes.
"I do, I remember it all as if it were yesterday. I can still feel the pain that they sent through me when they found me." He says softly.
"How did they get yah anyways?" She asks. He shrugs.
"I'm not sure. I don't remember the time before that, perhaps there are still some other memories that need to be unlocked from my mental vault. But if that were so, then it would seem that there is more than meets the eye with my existence." He says with a strange expression as his voice become monotonous.
"Ah thank so too." She says while sitting up and stretching. "Ya'll hungry?" She asks.
"A little bit, yeah." He says with a faint blush tinting his cheeks lightly. She smiles before turning back around and pulling her shirt and skirt off. He stares at her naked form with wide eyes as his blush thickens and spreads.
"Ya'll do know Ah'm not against yah feelin' meh, righ'?" She says with a saucy wink. He nods his head lightly.
"I know, but I was thinking that maybe we could...I don't know, do something tonight?" He says with a sheepish, yet hopeful, smile. She grins to him after pulling pink panties over her marehood.
"Ah dun't see wah not." She says while pulling skinny jeans up and clasping the belt together. She then grabs a red and white button-up checkered shirt and puts it on before taking the bottom of it and making a knot as to show off her belly, waist and slightly wide hips. Turning around she poses for him. "Wha' do yah think? Too much?" She asks. He shakes his head.
"You look amazing." He tells her and she smiles down at him.
"Thank'ya kindly." She says with a nod as she pulls her cow-filly boots on that reaches her mid-shin and then places her hat atop of her head. "Alrigh', le's go get tha othahs up." She says while moving past him as he gets dressed into his Espada clothing and follows after her when he places Murcielago onto his lower back. They move to Bloom's room just as Chrysalis and her leave the room and greet them with smiles.
"Perhaps we should go wake up Granny Smith and Big Mac?" Chrysalis asks. AJ and Bloom shake their heads.
"Nah, Granny's down tha stairs an' Big Mac is already down there, remembah?" AJ says. She nods her head.
"Alright, let's get going then." Spike says as he shoves his hands into his pockets as he did when under Aizen's lead and strides down the stairs with his mates behind him. As they move into the dining room he is met by Big Mac who glares down at him.
"Wha' yah doin' here?" The large stallion growls out.
"I am here with my mates as to enjoy a "vacation", whatever that is, as well as to get to know more ponies here in Ponyville." He says evenly which disturbs Big Mac slightly. He stares into his eyes with an emotionless gaze. "Is that a problem, Big Mac?" He says in monotone as the great red stallion shudders under his intense emotionless gaze.
"Yeh, it is! Wha' were yah up were mah sista's were?!" He hisses out while trying to be threatening to this short monster.
"I see." He says with a sigh with annoyance evident in it. He goes to explain, but AJ steps forward and Bloom pulls him back against her form as Chrysalis wraps her arms around both of their hips.
"He's ours." AJ says with a warning hiss as her eyes glow and her fangs glint in the light. Big Mac stares with wide eyes before giving Spike a hateful look.
"Wha' did ya'll do ta mah sister!?" He roars making AJ and Bloom tense and Bloom's grip to tighten on him making him gasp softly as she cuts off of air supplies.
"B-Bloom!! A-Air!!" He gasps out.
"Oh shoot! Sorry!" Bloom says loosening her grip slightly and kissing his neck gently.
"I-It's okay...!" He says with a blush as Bloom hungrily nips at his neck. "B-Bloom, wai- aah~" He moans softly as her fangs stab into his neck and she drinks from him. Big Mac blinks as his hateful glare turns into realization.
"He's yer submissive?" The large stallion asks. AJ nods with an eye roll.
"Duh! An' he's go' more dominan's than yah'd think." She says with a warning tone.
"Like me." Chrysalis says as she adds a bit of flare to her already echo-y voice.
"An' you are?" Big Mac asks.
"Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings." She says holding out a hand making Big Mac stare at her with wide eyes and eventually kisses the back of her hand gently. "It's a pleasure to finally make your acquaintance, Big Mac, Apple Bloom has told me so much about you after our...activities." She says flashing him a small smile while moving back to her mates.
"Ah see, well, there ain't nothin' Ah can do, huh?" He asks. They all shake their heads and his sighs. "Alrigh', he can stay." He says.
"You dun' git tha right ta decide tha', youngin'!" Granny Smith scolds Big Mac with a light glare. Spike looks to Granny with a small thankful smile.
"Hey Granny." He says meekly. She flashes him a wide grin.
"So, how yah sleep?" She asks.
"It was...interesting." He tells her. She gives him a curious look.
"We'll tell yah durin' breakfast." AJ says with a smile. "Yer gonna like it." She states proudly. Granny grins back at AJ and nods her head.
"Alrigh' then Youngin', Ah'll hold yah to tha'. So," She says while turning to the rest of them, "wha' do ya'll think abou' Apple Pie fer breakfast?" She asks.
"I don't see why not." Chrysalis says with a shrug.
"I've been dying to eat another Apple Pie for so long!" Spike says with a glint in his eye.
"Ya'll er gunna eat one tonigh'~" AJ purrs in his ear making him blush.
"Er..." He says as she winks at him before she and Granny Smith move into the kitchen. Bloom and Chrysalis pull him into a chair and sit on the opposite side of him while Big Mac sits at the right end of the table.
"What are these pies like?" Chrysalis asks. Bloom gives her a look.
"Ya'll should know since yah ate one last nigh'~" She purrs making Chrysalis chuckle.
"Oh yes, and what a delicious pie it was. But I'm talking about the kind that is food." She says teasingly making Bloom blush and pout slightly.
"They're amazing! Anything made by the Apples is absolutely amazing! It's like eating a...er...nevermind..." He says looking down at his hands nervously.
"Like eatin' a wha'?" Granny asks as she and AJ bring in multiple giant apple pies and place them onto the table.
"I can't exactly say..." He sighs out.
"Wah?" AJ asks.
"You know how Vasto Lorde's are made, correct?" He asks.
"No' exactly..." She says. He rubs his face gently.
"Oh boy this is going to be awkward...!" He groans out making them all look at him oddly. "Vasto Lorde's are made through either being "born" as one, or eating...." He mumbles the last part out.
"Eating what?" Chrysalis asks.
"Other Hollows..." He sighs out making them stare at him in surprise.
"Seriously?" Bloom asks. He nods his head sadly.
"Yeah, it's part of us to devour others of our kind or other beings souls as to "fill the void" as it were. You see this hole?" He asks while pointing at his hollow hole. They nod. "This is what happens when you become a Hollow." He says sadly making them nod their heads.
"Ah though' so." Granny says as she takes a slice of pie and placing it on a plate which she hands to Chrysalis. "An' tha's because ya'll ain't had one o' the Apple Family Pies, well, tha' one tha's food." She says sending Bloom and her a knowing look.
"Er, right." She says with a small sheepish smile. "Were we too loud?" She asks.
"Jus' a wee bit." Granny says calmly as she hands the others their plates of pie slices. "So, wha's this here story ya'll were talkin' abou', Applejack?" She asks. AJ grins widely.
"Oh, jus' tha tale abou' how our family met Spike here, or should Ah say Ulquiorra?" She says while looking to Spike.
"Either is fine, thank you." He says with a small smile.Granny raises a brow.
"Oh? This mus' be some tale usin' tha' old name." She says before grinning widely. "Go on." she says and AJ retells the events that had happened when they were in his memory/dream. Big Mac was surprised to here that she was a reincarnation of their long time great grandmother Golden Delicious Apple and how she gained her name from their grandmother's nickname, Applejack. Granny was surprised at how much detail they had when describing their ancestors and about how they would talk, though she lost it when Gilda blew her fuse.
"Yep, tha' soun's 'bout righ'. So, ya'll glad abou' tha family?" She asks.
"O'course!" Bloom exclaims. "Ah have somethin' Ah can write abou' fer when school starts back up!" She says excitedly. Spike looks to Bloom with surprise.
"Are you not out of school already?" He asks.
"Nah, Ah still have a few years left o' it." She says while going to take another bite out of her pie. He blinks at her with surprise and puts his fork down.
"But, you will be 18, correct? Should you not be finished with school already?" He asks. She shakes her head.
"Ah'm in a place called "Hahgh School" which then means aftah Ah graduate, Ah can go ta college." She says with a smile. He nods.
"I see, would I be able to come by and possibly see this "High School"?" He asks. Bloom gains a large toothy grin.
"Yah sure can!" She exclaims. "Ms. Cheerilee would love ta have yah visit, let alone Ah would too!" She squeals out. He nods.
"I see." He says while picking up his glass of strange light orange liquid. "And what exactly do you learn in this "High School"?" He asks as he tastes the liquid and nods his head in approval.
"Ah learn all abou' Equestria an' our world. Though Ah should probableh get ready." She says with a wide eyed look on her face. He raises a brow.
And why is that?" He asks. She smiles sheepishly.
"'Cause Ah got'ta get ta school soon or Ah'm gonna be late!" She exclaims and gets to her hooves.
"I see, then I shall see you get there the quick way." He says as he gets to his feet and moves to her side where he picks her up bridal style and uses Sonido to move through the house and across the sky as he runs on the air. He looks around for a "high school" and grows curious as to not finding one, until the sound of bells reaches his ears. He looks left and see's a large schoolhouse and drops from the sky.
Bloom screams in fear as she stares at the quickly approaching ground and he rolls his eyes before bending his knee's and lands on the air but the air pushes down past them and forms a small crater beneath them and dust clouds into the air making ponies of various ages cough. He puts her down onto her hooves gently and balances her as she regains herself.
"Hoo-boy...Tha's one way o' travelin'!" She mutters out as she leans against him as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo rush over to them with an attractive purple mare wearing a dress skirt, shirt and coat. He then notices Twilight rushing over to them as well, and grows curious.
"Apple Bloom! Are you okay?!?" Scootaloo exclaims. Bloom nods her head as she shakes her head to clear it some more.
"Yah, Ah'm fahn." She says with a smile. The mare stares at him in surprise. He raises a brow to her and turns to face her.
"Is there something wrong?" He asks.
"You just...your standing on the air..." The mare states in shock. He nods.
"Yes, I tend to do this when I do not wish to destroy the building before me." He states with a nod and looks to Twilight. "What are you doing here, Twilight? I thought you worked at the Library." He asks. She smiles.
"Oh, I'm just a helper teacher." She says while rubbing the back of his head gently. He nods.
"I see, well, you always did have a knack for teaching." He says with a light chuckle before looking to Bloom. "I'm going to head back to the farm, do you need anything before I go?" He asks. She gives him a sultry look and he raises a hand. "Something that doesn't involve us rutting?" He asks knowingly. She flushes and huffs.
"A kiss would be fahn then." She huffs out. He lands onto the ground and kisses her gently on the lips.
"Better?" He asks.
"Bettah." She says before spreading his large wings and flaps them once sending him high up into the sky where he leisurely flies over Ponyville looking over the town.
'Hm...maybe I should actually go into town and see what goes on.' He thinks to himself as he glides down lightly into the town square and walks over to a bench where he sits down next to a mint green unicorn mare. He watches as ponies pass him by to do what they wish.
0o0o0o0o0
Hours seem to pass as he watches ponies move by less and less. He had managed to help many ponies as they had passed by and even went to a few shops before going back to his seat on the bench. He had even made a friend in that mint green unicorn Mare, Lyra, and had even met her wife, Bonbon. But eventually the two left and he was left looking on alone as the sun was past noon, he assumed it to be around four o'clock.
He hears a strange sound as the scent of salt softly moves past his noose. Looking over he see's something that doesn't seem quite right. He watches as multiple stallion crowd around a single grey furred Pegasus mare with a gold mane and tail wearing a tight grey and blue mailers suite with a mailbag hanging on her side. He narrows his eyes at the scene as the mare is pushed around by the stallions before she bursts from them rubbing her eyes.
The scent of salt reaches his nose and he gets to his feet and follows after her. He follows the mare silently throughout the day as she goes around making deliveries and always smiling to others even when they treat her in terrible ways. He watches silently as she sits onto a bench as the sun lowers slightly signalling it was dusk.
'I should really get back to the farm, but I can't leave this mare yet. Something tells me she may need my help.' He thinks to himself as he perches himself onto a window ledge of an abandoned building and watches her silently for a few minutes before those stallions from before move in from the alleyway behind her and stalk up behind her.
"Well, if it ain't Derpy Whorse!" The blue stallion chuckles out with a gleam in his eyes he most certainly doesn't like. "What are yah doin' here by yourself eh, toots?" He asks. The mare stares at him with tears in her oddly positioned eyes and mumbles something.
"Speak up!" A gruff brown stallion grunts out loudly. She flinches back slightly before putting on a brave face.
"M-My name isn't "Derpy Whorse"! It's Ditzy Doo!" She states firmly. Her voice sounds similar to an angels, had he ever met one that is. The stallions laugh at her harshly making her flinch back lightly.
"Yeh roight! Oai bet yeh gote yeh name from the club yeh work at!" An orange stallion laughs out with a strange accent he had never heard before. Ditzy glares at the stallions and gets to her hooves. She backs away from them and glances at the side towards an alleyway to escape. He narrows his eyes as the stallions move around her in a semi-circle with odd looks gleaming in their eyes like a flame.
He watches as Ditzy spins around and runs but bumps into a massive stallion wearing strange leather clothing with a pony skull on fire on the back of his coat.
"And where do you think your going, whorse?" The massive stallion gruffs out with a scratchy deep voice.
"Away from you pigs!" Ditzy says with bravery shining from her, but he can see fear in her golden orbs. She moves back and looks behind her towards the other stallions. "So stay away!" She says. They laugh at her and move in towards her. A small red stallion lashes out and tears her shirt in an attempt to grab her, but she jumps to the side. It was then he notices how light she is on her feet, but evidently not fast enough to escape as another stallion lashes out, only this time smacks her across the face with the back of his hand knocking her down to the ground.
They crowd around her and grab at her clothing. She screams for while kicking and swinging her fists about the air, but soon her limbs are pinned down by burlly stallions who manage to tear her shirt and skirt revealing light blue laced panties and bra. She screams louder for help only to have a hand cover her mouth as they rub their hands all over her body.
"Oh shut it, ain't no one here to help you." The large stallion chuckles out as he grabs her bra and with a firm tug rips it off of her forms exposing her moderately large breasts. "Now sit still!" He orders with a menacing hiss that causes her to stare up at him in fear with tears forming in her golden eyes which had captured him a few times. She cries out muffled screams as the stallions push her down harder to the ground as the large one gropes her. She looks up at him and their eyes lock with one another and a spark shoots through his and her bodies and he narrows his eyes as they glow brightly in the darkness.
Releasing a low growl it manages to get their attention as they all look up and around them.
"Wha' the buck was tha'?" The yanky stallion asks in fear as the moon rises and all sounds cease. He drops from the window ledge and silently lands in the tree that stands over them and snakes his tail down and around one of the stallions necks and yanks them up from their group. The stallion cries out in fear before he taps his fingers onto the side of their head knocking them out before tossing them at another stallion.
He rakes a hand over his face like claws and summons his mask where he then jumps down from the tree and spin kicks a stallion into the side of a building headfirst knocking them out, let alone using little to no pressure whatsoever, as he then uses his whip tail to knock the others back and away from Ditzy who stares up at him with large wide uneven eyes.
"Who the buck are you!?" The massive stallion roars out. He watches with cold eyes as he stays silent. The massive stallion growls. "Whoever yeh are, you're a deadpony! Get him!" He orders and the thugs rush him. He weaves through them and uses Sonido to knock the stallions off of Ditzy with accuracy and speed only he could accomplish. Ducking under a stab from behind his tail coils around a stallions forearm and he flings them through a window of an abandoned building, or so he assumed was abandoned, and low sweeps two more stallions to the ground.
Side stepping he summons Murcielago and slams the butt of it's hilt into another ones chin knocking them back before his tail jets around and "punches" them in the face with enough force to knock them out. He looks around quickly as two stallions move in from both sides and he remembers a song that Dash kept playing during their spars . He jumps into the air and somersaults through the air as he uses his tail to knock them into each other.
He lands and slides across the dirt as the night takes over and clouds form in the sky. As rain begins to drop upon them he swings Murcielago down onto the shoulder shoulder of a stallion with the sheath over the blade as to just knock them out. He flips a stallion over onto their back before axe kicking them into the ground and low sweeping two other stallions who move to try and stab him. He then blurs behind a large one and elbows them in the center of their back and sends them flying into other stallions who bash their heads onto the side of a building.
Moving to the right he dodges a steel pipe and stabs Murcielago into it before balancing himself onto the butt of the hilt with a hand and kicks the stallion in the face knocking him into another one. He ducks under a pipe as he swings Murcielago up and into a yellow stallions chin sending him into the air and then blurs above the stallion and axe kicking them into the ground head first. He feels a pull on his Zanpakuto and looking down at his hand he finds a pinkish aura surrounding it.
He scans and finds a unicorn stallion in the crowd with their horns and hand ignited. He lowers his eyelids and gives a slight tug destroying their connection and cracking their horn slightly from magic backlash. He booms behind the stallion and spin kicks the unicorn into the tree knocking them out as they bash their skull against it. Side stepping to the right he watches as a large earth pony stallion slams a large piece of lumber down where he once stood.
'These ponies are not very smart are they?' He wonders as he slams the side of his hand against their stomach sending them rocketing into three more earth ponies. A startled cry makes him spin around to see the massive stallion holding Ditzy by her shoulders and has a large looking combat knife pointed at her throat.
"Drop the sword." The stallion growls out. He grips Murcielago's hilt tighter and the stallion puts the tip of his blade up against Ditzy's throat and draws a thin trickle of her blood. "I said. Drop. The. Sword!" The stallion growls angrily. He narrows his eyes and makes Murcielago vanish. He stares with silent eyes as the rain pours down upon them, upon his mouthless mask which gives him no way if speech, which he had been born with in the deepest pit of Hueco Mundo.
"Now take off that mask!" He roars out bringing him out of his thoughts and back to reality.
'Ditzy!' He thinks as he watches the knife move closer to her throat.
"Remove it or she dies! And then your next!" The stallion roars out as his goons get back to their hooves and clear their heads from their momentary knock outs. When he doesn't move, he brings the knife in more making Ditzy give a startled cry but it goes unheard as the stallions large hand covers her mouth. "So be it!" The stallion growls out and he raises the knife up and then stabs down towards her throat.
He narrows his eyes as his mask cracks and shatters revealing his face just as a flash of lightning moves by. He dashes forward and catches the knife by the blade and plunges his hand through the stallions hip making him cough up blood slightly. He snakes his tail around Ditzy's waist and pulls her away from the great idiotic pony as his wings spread and he rips his hand out of the ponies side making a deep and heavy gash form. He knocks the stallion to the side with a wing and holds Ditzy close to himself bridal style and shoots off into the night sky with the stallion crying out, "You will pay!" behind them.
He lands onto a roof and uses his wings as cover for Ditzy as he can't get sickness like ponies or other living creatures can.
"Are you okay?" He asks her. She looks up at him and nods, before wrapping her arms around his neck brings him in a tight hug as she sobs into his chest. He gently places a hand onto her back and holds her close to himself and rubs her back gently in an attempt to comfort her in her time of need. "It's okay, they can't hurt you now." He tells her softly as he looks down at her with soft eyes. She sniffs and looks up at him with her golden orbs blinded by tears of fear and sorrow.
"Th-Thank you..." She cries out. He places a finger onto her lips gently.
"Shh, no need to thank me, Ditzy. Now can you please tell me where you live?" He asks her gently. She nods and points over towards where Sugarcube Corner is. He nods and lifts her up bridal style and flies into the air and moves towards the bakery of sweets. He lands before the building and looks down at her. "Where to next?" He asks. She points towards a yellow building with a blue police box placed on the side of it. He nods and moves towards the house and grabs the silver doornob but it stopped as a brown earth pony stallion bursts from the blue box wearing a mud brown suite.
"Ditzy!" The stallion says with a strange accent. "Are you okay!?" He asks her before staring at him with wide eyes and narrowing them. "What are you doing here? Why is she like that?!" He growls out.
"I am here to bring her home, and she is like this because of stallions who had been calling her a whorse and tried to rape her. May I know who you are?" He asks.
"Ah, yes, I am the Doctor." He says holding out a hand. He raises a brow.
"Doctor Who?" He asks. The stallion smiles.
"Exactly! Though now it's Doctor Whooves, odd equine jokes." He mutters the last part out, but he heard it clear as day and narrows his eyes. His tail cricles around the stallion who squeaks in surprise and shock.
"Who and what are you?" He asks making the stallion sigh.
"I am the Doctor. Not can you please bring her inside. She is indeed very important to me." He states making Ditzy blinks in a strange look of surprise.
"Are you two mates?" He asks. He watches as the two make gagging sounds and faces..
"Oh no! I am not her mate! That's just- Ew! She is but my assistant and friend! Let alone the fact that we are like siblings! If anything, I am her adoptive brother, of sorts." The Doctor says making him nod his head.
"I see." He says as he uses his tail to open the door to the house only to have a grey blur slam into him and for Ditzy to be held up by his tail as he looks down at a small unicorn filly pounding onto his chest with her fists.
"Let go of mommy baddy monsteh!" The filly cries out while having her eyes closed. He smiles softly and puts Ditzy down and pats the fillies head gently.
"I have no intention of harming her, as I am the one who saved her from the mean stallions who were hurting her." He tells the filly evenly making the Doctor and her to stare at Ditzy wide eyed. "And you are right, I am a monster. I am the worst monster of them all." He whispers out softly causing the filly to sniff and oddly gain a few tears. He wonders what could have made her so sad in just a split second. Where all children so strange? Did he want to have children when his mates were going into heat? And what of Ditzy, why did he feel a connection to her like he does with his mates? Many questions are wondered, but none are answered. Yet.
"Your not a monster." Ditsy says softly as she places a hand onto his as he stands up with the filly clinging to him as if she were trying to hug out his truth. She takes the filly off of him and hands her to the Doctor who takes the child inside the house presumably to bed. "You saved me and protected me from those meany stallions. Your no monster. A really monster would have killed them and then me, which you didn't do." She tells him as if she were trying to convince him of some strange version of reality.
"Is that so? Does it not bother you that I am a mixed being? A being of death and despair? Something born from the pits of what you call Tartarus?" He asks. She looks at him with soft eyes and shakes her head.
"That doesn't make you a monster, just different. I mean, look at me. I'm a Pegasus with weird eyes and two daughters that are unicorns. The Doctor isn't normal either, he travels all over with his blue box!" She exclaims. He slowly realizes that their faces are growing closer to each other and wonders how he missed that. "So don't call yourself a monster." She says softly and looks into his eyes. He looks into her golden orbs and feels a pull in his chest as a bond grows and forms slowly.
He feels his other bonds growing stronger for some strange reason along with how he notices Nightmare standing atop Sugarcube Corner with a smile gracing her lips before she vanishes, most likely to "spread the news" as it were. He looks back to Ditzy who smiles down a him softly and he inwardly sighs at how he just can't catch a break, but smiles back softly nonetheless.
"Perhaps we should get you inside and out of the rain and into a shower to warm you up." He tells her and she blushes as she looks down at herself and covers her breasts, or attempts to, and nods her head. He steps to the side and she runs in while pulling him along for the ride. He looks around the house and finds that it is rather interesting. The walls are covered in light brown paint with muffins lining them along with the counter being covered in all manners of muffins and other various objects.
The scent of cinnamon and banana's meet his senses as he looks over to see Ditzy moving up a staircase and decides to follow after her, something telling him to keep her company as the Doctor moves out of the house and into his blue box. He follows her into what he assumes if her room where he stands in the doorway and watches her remove the rest of her wet clothing. She turns and see's him standing there and squeaks as she tries desperately to cover herself up.
He closes his eyes with a small blush on his cheeks as he berates himself for not announcing his arrival.
"I am sorry. I should have announced my arrival by knocking on the door. I shall leave you to your business." He says and moves to leave, but a hand grabs his that keeps him there.
"No, stay." She says softly with a pleading tone. "Stay with me, please." She asks softly as a slight hint of fear is clear in her voice. He opens his eyes and looks up at her, as she is taller than him, with a curious look. He see's fear in her eyes and he nods softly as he moves back into the room.
"As you wish." He says before moving over to the bed and sits upon it with a leg crossed over the other with his hands shoved into his pockets as she has a blush crossing her cheeks and moves into her bathroom where he hears the shower blast on. Steam flows out of the shower and mists into the bathroom and bedroom. He lightly flexes a wing clearing the room and the door to shut slightly leaving only a bit open. He closes his eyes and listens as she hums softly a strange tune he could see Pinkie Pie sing .
Listening to her sing he feels the corners of his lips twitch upwards and the urge to smile. He allows the smile to form on his face he moves his head to her wonderful voice and even to an unheard beat. As she sings he feels a strange feeling bubbling into his chest and a sensation that rises in his throat. He wonders what it could be as he hears the shower turning off by a squeaky nob and he notices that her towel is folded up next to him.
Getting to his feet he regains control over his facial features and moves into the bathroom. The steam is heavy and thicker than he had thought as he is forced to rely on his other senses besides sight. He moves a hand out and grabs something soft, yet firm at the same time. He places an index finger on a strange bump that seems to grow hard and as he presses down onto it with his finger, he hears a soft moan. He grows curious and spreads his wings clearing out the steam as well as drying the room instantly.
He stares at a naked Ditzy who has a large blush on her face along with her wings sticking straight out and up as he essentially gropes her. He blushes heavily and lets go of her breast and turns around quickly. "S-Sorry!" He stutters out and leaves quickly with the towel gently falling to the floor. He leaves her bathroom and leans against her far wall near her door as he pants tries to regain control over his breathing as it slows down from it's erratic pace.
'Oh I'm such a fucking idiot! She's a new bond-mate and I already fucked things up!' He thinks to himself in a scolding manner. He sighs softly and rests his head against the wall gently before two arms wrap around his chest and two large soft lumps press against his back while his wings her drooping. He freezes up and his wings and tail twitch slightly.
"It's okay." Ditzy's says softly as he looks over his shoulder at her. She smiles down softly at him. "I'm not mad, I was just surprised." She tells him and he nods his head lightly before her large soft grey feathered wings press up to his leathery ones making him blush and close his eyes as odd pleasure jolts through his back.
"What is...." He grows silent as he stares into her eyes. She moves in and kisses him gently before pulling back from him and moves over to her closet where she rummages through her clothes looking for something. He watches her pull on some grayish blue panties and bra before she moves over to her bed and lays in it. She smiles at him and pats the spot next to her on the bed. "You want me to...sleep with you in your bed?" He asks. She giggles lightly.
"Why not? I mean it's a big bed, and it gets lonely at nights, besides, I um...." She mumbles softly. He quirks a brow.
"You what?" He asks.
"I need you here, with me." She says softly while giving him a pleading look. He nods his head and strides over to the bed and lies in it next to her where she snuggles up close to him and snakes her arms around his hips with her head on his chest. "Thank you." She says softly while kissing his cheek gently. "For everything, I'll try to make it up to you." She tells him softly as her eyes close and she drifts off to sleep. He smiles softly down to her and brushes a few strands of her mane out of her face and behind her ear.
"Your welcome, and you have." He tells her softly as he holds her close to himself and falls asleep, and for the first time in months, it was a sleep without heartache or nightmares, but blissful dreams of being with his mates while looking on to a new day.

EQUESTRIA'S ESPADA!
CHAPTER FIFTEEN!: "Diamond Dogs? Again?"
By, Vladimir
0o0o0o0
It had been a week since the night Spike had saved Ditzy and she had become a new bond-mate. It was strange at first as AJ, Bloom and Chrysalis were new ones as well, but they welcomed her with open arms, and, as it turned out Dinky and Bloom were good friends, let alone Sparkler and Bloom being good friends along with being part of something called the "Cutie Mark Crusaders".
Anyways, It was awkward to say the least, as Ditzy had been clingy at first, but soon she got over the event as he and the others in their "herd", as they had called it, were protective over each other, let alone constantly making sure they were safe. Dinky took to him amazingly well as she had been following him around everywhere and even mimicking him. It was odd for him at first as he had never dealt with children, aside from Lilynette Gingerbuck but she was a Hollow and was hundreds of years older than any of them, and was unsure on how to react to her randomness and silliness.
Sparkler, however, was a different matter as she took to him, and still is taking to him, slowly. She is not as trusting as her mother and sister is, and while the Doctor was an oddball, the two of them became friends, let alone noticing how Sparkler being rather interested as to why he has a sword and helmet piece on him. It was a little difficult explaining that part but he managed it, somehow.
At the moment, however, he follows Ditzy while carrying Dinky in her arms as they travel over to the post office to gain a new outfit for her job as a mailmare. He had tried to change her mind, but she was set on helping her town with the mail, considering the shit she had to put up with he was going to demand she gain a raise in salary and rank. Behind them Sparkler follows while watching him with an owl like glare, if they could glare she would have it down pat.
They stand before a large blue building with the sign "Ponyville Mail Office" on the front in bright neon orange lettering. He raises a brow at how odd the building is as it is slanted on the roof. He turns to his new mate with a questioning brow.
"Why is this building so...strange? I mean stranger than most." He asks. Ditzy giggles lightly and looks back at him with a smile.
"I don't know!" She chirps out happily and bubbly as she moves towards the building. He blinks with a blank face and looks down at Dinky who mimics him and looks up at him. The two shrug and follow after her as Sparkler face palms at the strange cartoonish behavior they are exhibiting and follows after her mother, sister and Spike.
He looks around the office with a curious brow as Dinky stares at it all as if it were a cartoon show, which they had here and was hers and Sparklers way of torturing him as they were always about strange sea-ponies and magic, needless to say, he hated the ever loving hell out of the show, but sat and watched it with Dinky as she would beg him and give him to dreaded puppy-eyes that works his heartstrings, if he had one, and was forced to sing the song alongside it.
Torture.
He see's Ditzy step into the main office, office in the office equals office-ception apparently, and he follows quickly just in time to see her boss yelling at her.
"What do you mean your suite was damaged again!? Do you know how many times I have to pay just for your clothing to be fixed up and for the complaints?!?!" A middle-aged mud brown unicorn roars out from behind his strange thick mustache. Ditzy flinches back.
"S-Sorry sir!" She apologizes and the stallion huffs with great annoyance and glares down at her as he gets to his hooves.
"Are you really sorry? Or are you really this much of a screw-up as the complaints say!?!?" He roars while slamming his palms against the desk making her jump and flinch back as he gets into her face. "ARE YOU!?!?!?" He roars. She closes her eyes and squeaks softly. That was the last straw. Spike moves in while breaking the door in half. The stallion looks to him in surprise while Ditzy in horror. "Who are you?!" He asks gruffly.
"My name, is Ulquiorra Spike Cifer." He says stepping back into his old habit of speaking evenly and showing no emotion. The stallion stares at him with wide fear filled eyes.
"T-The Ulquiorra?!" He stutters out. Nodding his head he moves steps beside Ditzy and hands her Dinky.
"Indeed. I have a complaint about your staff." He says evenly and the stallion glares to Ditzy making her flinch back.
"What did she do this time?" He growls.
"Nothing. It is not my mate I have a complaint about, but rather yourself." Spike says evenly while fixing the gaping stallion with a cold emotionless glare. "I had witnessed her being attacked and nearly raped at 8:32 p.m. last night, along with being treated terribly by those who made these "complaints". I can vouge that she was only by kind and would smile at them and thank them for their time. Let alone how her "suite", if you call it that, get destroyed by a gang. Then I come here to see this." He hisses out as his eyes glow red and the Doo's grow fearful of him for the first time.
"Wh-What's that?" The stallion asks. He grabs the unicorn by his tie and lifts him up slightly as the room darkens and the shadows swish around like tendrils. He moves him close to the stallions face as his teeth morph into fangs.
"I come here to see this piece of trash filth yelling at her about the complaints she can't control along with how her suite is destroyed. Personally I would not indulge in killing a pony, but I'm tempted to do so now." Spike growls out as red markings pulsate along his lings in ring like forms. He narrows his eyes.
"Now here's how this is going to go down, your to give her a raise and higher rank in your pathetic little building along with more and less revealing suites along with a vacations pay starting today for a few months. Do I make myself clear, trash?" He growls out making the unicorn nods rapidly. He smiles darkly and releases the stallion so he and the chair fall backwards against the floor. "Good," He says as the shadows and darkness seep back into his shadow and form as he turns to leave with the Doo's who stare at him in shock, he stops and looks back at the stallion with a gleam in his green eyes, "oh and have a nice day." He hisses out as they leave and the door repairs itself so it is back on the hinges and slams shut.
Walking along the dirt road he looks at his mate and her daughters with a worried look.
"Are...Are you three okay?" He asks. Ditzy tackle hugs him and kisses him deeply as Dinky hugs his legs and Sparkler smiles lightly at him. When she parts from him he stares at her with a wide blush and confused look. "Wh-What was that f-for?" He stutters out as his tail flicks around in a nervous manner. Ditzy gives him a happy smile making his blush grow larger.
"A thank you! No pony's ever stood up for me like that! I mean you were scary at first but when that blackness passed over us I felt so safe, like I was being hugged, and the way you demanded those things, it was...kinda hot." She says with a blush. He smiles lightly and rubs the back of his head gently.
"Oh, it's was nothing. I just that you desrved more than a simple mailmare's job. I was actually trying my hardest to NOT kill him..." He mumbles out softly making her roll her eyes.
"I could tell what with you about to bite him, how did you do that anyways?" She asks. He raises a brow.
"Do what?" He asks. She pokes and prods at his teeth making him blush heavily as she messes with his body in such a way. 'What the fuck is happening?' He wonders.
"Where'd those fangs go?" She asks. realization dawns on his face and he nods.
"These?" He asks as his teeth shift into fangs. She nods. "These are a uh...well how do I say this...I'm technically a Vampony, though Ichigo calls me a "Vampire Lord" for some strange reason, he has told me to make my name "Dracula", but that just sounds so..." He is cut off by Dinky.
"Cool!" She squeals out happily. He blinks in surprise.
"You think it's cool to be...what I am?" He asks. She nods.
"Yep!" She chirps out.
"Do you know what else I am?" He asks smiling slightly, she shakes her head gently. Ditzy and Sparkler gain curious looks.
"What else could you be?" Sparkler asks. He sighs softly and grabs the zipper of his uniform's jacket.
"Guess I might as well show you, huh?" He asks with nervousness evident in his voice. He pulls the zipper down revealing his hollow hole at the base of his neck and above his chest where it has been. They stare with wide eyes. "I am Ulquiorra Spike Cifer. Prince of Equestria, last bloodline to Tartarus making me it's ruler, and I am the Primera Espada of the Espada Force. I am a mixed being, but I am a Hollow first, mixed second." He tells them as if it were rehearsed.
"Your a...a Hollow?" Sparkler asks. He sighs softly.
"I am. And I was born in the deepest pit of Hueco Mundo, or as you ponies call it, Tartarus." He says softly. "I died there and then came back as a Dragon before remembering who and what I was and regained myself. This is my new chance at life, and so far it's been pretty good." He tells them with a smile.
"So, when you said you were born there, you were being truthful?" Ditzy asks. He nods his head and turns away.
"I am sorry if you hate me now that you know I am truly a monster." He says with a pained voice and with his eyes closed. soft hands turn her face and he opens his eyes to see Ditzy's loving eyes looking into his.
"That still doesn't matter to me, it just means your different, and I like different." She tells him with a wink making him blush lightly and smile.
"I'm glad." He says before looking forward and see's ponies going into Sugarcube Corner and he gets an idea. "How about we go there for something to eat?" He asks and Dinky's face lights up and she bounces up and down strikingly similar to Pinkie Pie whenever she is happy.
"Yes!" Dinky chants out as Ditzy nods and walks towards the bakery with Dinky skipping along side her like Pinkie does. He looks to Sparkler who has him fixed with a strange look.
He raises a brow to her. "Yes?" He asks. She looks away with a scowl making him inwardly sigh at her stubbornness at being mad at him for whatever reason. He watches her walk away after Ditzy and Dinky as he follows silently and watches over them closely. He feels something is going to happen, but he is not sure what, as it feels bad.
He follows them inside of Sugarcube Corner and sits at a booth in the corner of the room where the light's are dimmed down as their lights tend to bother his eyes and he prefers to have things darker rather than brighter. He leans back against the cushioned seat and watches as his mate and her children get three chocolate shakes and three muffins of different varieties. Ditzy looks around and spots him in the corner and smiles as she walks over and places the shakes down along with the muffins as she sits next to him as Dinky and Sparkler sit across from them.
"I got you something!" She chirps out making him raise a brow in curiosity.
"Oh? Like what?" He asks with a small smile as she giggles melodiously.
"Close your eyes!" She orders and he closes his eyes and rolls them behind their lids. Why did they always want to have his eyes closed? It made little sense. A pair of lips press up to his in a passionate kiss as he feels love flow into him as a hand gently touches his chest near his hollow hole. He shivers and leans into the kiss as another hand moves to his left hip. The lips leave his and he opens his eyes and looks into Ditzy's golden orbs. "You like it?" She asks with her amazingly sweet voice. He nods his head gently and lays his head onto her shoulder as she smiles and drinks from her shake with a, "Good!" and he closes his eyes gently feeling content with just being there with her and the small ones, even if Sparkler wasn't too found of him.
"Gross." Sparkler says with a quick glare at him just as he opens his eyes. He inwardly sighs again and looks at her with a brow raised.
"Really? I thought it was sweet!" He says in an attempt to make a joke, before remembering he was the only Changeling in the town at the moment and grew silent.
"Maybe for you, but I'm not going to do that with my mate!" Sparkler says haughtily as she drinks her shake.
"Your also thirteen." Ditzy says with an eye roll, and manages to make him dizzy, and places a hand onto his and smiles lightly down to him making him blush lightly as he feels love surging through his body as it moves up his arm and into his chest. He snuggles closer to her and she wraps an arm around his hips and keeps him where he is so he can't "escape" from her. Sparkler narrows her eyes and huffs in annoyance, most likely with him being so close to her mother or possibly from being talked down to, he is not sure which though.
"What do you say we go to the park after this?" He asks in hopes of breaking the slight tension as Dinky squeals happily and Sparkler smiles at her sister with a loving look. 'At least she knows when to smile.' He thinks to himself with a smile as Dinky rambles on and on to him about her favorite things to do at the park along with her favorite colors and letters. 'Then again, it's hard not to smile with this little ball of energy.' He thinks with an internal chuckle as he asks her questions in mock surprise.
As they finish their food he feels the need to use his Pesquisa to make sure nothing is going down. He notices many strange signatures moving about outside of the towns limits but nothing that is causing problems. He then feels Griffin signatures which worries him a tad before they move around the town and down south for whatever reason. For some reason he wonders what happened south of Ponyville that makes him feel so uneasily, perhaps it was when and where he had sparred with his mates and caused more destruction than he had hoped? He was not sure.
"Let's go everypony!" Ditzy cheers out happily and Dinky nods with squeaks of happiness as she runs around him in circles as he watches her go. He smiles lightly as her eagerness to go to the park and he "chases" after her before picking her up and placing her onto his shoulders where she grabs on tightly to his horns and looks around in wonder. They walk to the park with Dinky squeaking out orders of what to do.
"Go lef!" She says and he turns to the left and walks. "Go wight!" She squeaks and he turns to the right and keeps walking. "Go to mommy!" She orders out with a giggle making him smile and walk up to Ditzy who has her hands on her hips and a brow raised as a small smile is gracing her lips.
"Does my little muffin like being on Spike's shoulders?" She asks. Dinky nods before trying to get off. He gently picks her up and hands her to Ditzy who kisses him gently on the cheek and they walk side by side holding Dinky's hands as they continue to the park with Sparkler far ahead of them.
"You know you two are really slow right?" Sparkler calls back while tapping a hoof and giving them an annoyed glare.
"Sometimes going slow is nice." He says with a small shrug before sheepishly chuckling under her harsh glare. "Though I suppose we should pick up the pace, no?" He asks nervously making her and Ditzy nod. Dinky runs over to Sparkler and holds her hand as Ditzy stays with them. He stays back slightly as to make sure nothing happens, before his Pesquisa picks up multiple beings moving around underneath the town and moving in from the south.
He stops and closes his eyes as he feels the beings growing closer and closer before his eyes snap open and he looks around wondering just where they were to come up now remembering what the signatures felt like.
Diamond Dogs. Just great.
0o0o0o0
Ditzy smiles down at Dinky as Sparkler sits off to the side with a stick as she huffs and pokes at the ground with it repeatedly. She wonders why her mother liked this thing, he wasn't even a pony or a normal creature! So why did she like him so much? What ever happened to her staying their father, the one who she married. What happened to him, one day he was there, and the next he just gone.
She sulks as she misses the times of when she would spend with her old man as they would go on walks to the lake nearby and do family things with one another. She grows angry at her mother who threw it all away just because of this strange male that isn't even alive. She stabs the stick into the ground, but for some reason it snaps and a dull ringing sound greets her ears. She grows curious and picks up a large rock, for whatever reason, and swing down with it.
Another ringing sound meets her ears with a low growl. She freezes as the ground begins to shift and rise before a large meaty claw bursts from the dirt like from those Zom-Pony movies she watched with her father. She stares with wide eyes as a large dog like thing rises from the dirt wearing black armor. She notices the dent in the helmet and the small piece of rock that is stuck in it.
'Oh...my...Celestia...!' She inwardly chants while hyperventilating in fear as the large dog resembles a sort of boxer. He bares it's massive sharp fang like teeth down at her as it's beady red eyes hold a strange mirth of sorts.
"Horned pony. New slave." It growls out with a deep unintelligent voice as it reaches for her. She screams and moves back as another one bursts from the earth behind her. She notes that it looks similar to a poodle like dog thing. She screams and stares with wide eyes as it moves in to get her. She kicks it right in the jewels making it whimper softly before barring it's needle like fangs at her as it releases a roar like bark.
She screams again in fear as it swipes down at her and she moves to the side getting her shoulder scraped lightly as it's companion moves to grab her as the other moves to eat her, as she believes. She throws her arms over her head and releases a blood curdling scream, before the sound of metal being hit and sparks lightly rain over her. She looks up to see Spike, the male she holds a hatred for, protecting her as he holds the dogs giant wrist as it's claws poke at his chest, the middle claw passing through his hollow hole.
She stares up at him in wide eyed shock as he keeps the dog there as his tail lashes out and whips the other one across the face.
"You shall not have her." He growls out in anger.
"Why?" The poodle thing asks. He looks into the dogs wide eyes with his narrowed eyes.
"Because she is not yours to claim, nor shall I allow you filthy mutts to take any ponies, especially those that are important." He says coldly as his green eyes seem to glow with a sort of fire as he pushes the dog back. "Now leave or I shall kill you." He states evenly and calmly as he stares down the beast that is three times larger than he is. The dogs bark with laughter as more dogs burst from the ground and Griffins move in from the sky.
She stares up at him with wide eyes as the dogs pull large swords from their backs and give him a toothy grin that makes her feel sick as it raises it's sword and swings down at him. She closes her eyes and waits for the sound of flesh to be torn through, but instead the sound of glass shattering meets her ears. Opening her eyes she stares with them wide as he shatters the large hefty stone sword with a single hand as he looks up at the enraged dog.
"You die now!!" The dog roars. He gains a bored look on his emotionless face.
"I see." He looks to Sparkler from over his shoulder with an even look. "Go to your mother and get to the Doctor." He tells her.
"But what about you?!" She says in worry. He gives her a flat look.
"Do not worry about my well-being, Sparkler, I shall be perfectly fine. Now get moving, I'll make sure none of you are harmed." He orders as he blurs from her vision. She gets to her hooves and sprints to her mother and sister as more and more dogs burst from the ground only to be knocked back by Spike's afterimage. She gets to them just as a Griffin is crushed by a falling dog who had been knocked back by Spike's afterimage once again.
"We have to get to the Doctor!" Sparkler says.
"What abou Spi?" Dinky asks.
"He said he'll be fine, now let's go!!" She screams out as they run alongside many other ponies as they move towards their house and a very familiar blue box with a brown stallion swinging a wrench upside a Griffin's head knocking it out cold.
"Come on, come on! Get in quickly!" The Doctor says with an urgent voice as she and the others rush into the blue box. She stares with wide eyes as it is far larger on the inside than the outside, along with the the strange looking machines and devices. The Doctor pulls some levers and he sighs in relief. "Okay, we'll be fine now." He says.
"What did you pull, Doctor?" Her mother asks.
"I pulled the cloaking lever!" He says proudly as if it were some sort of acheivement.
"What is this?!" She exclaims.
"The TARDIS. Think of it as my Spaceship." He says with a smile making her stare at him in surprise.
"Your an alien!?" She screams out. He nods.
"Yep, just as Spike is. Good man he is, same as my partner who told me all about him when he was known as Ulquiorra." The Doctor says as he pulls up a large flat screen the size of a wall. She stares with wide eyes as the screen flicks on and she watches as Spike moves around with Applejack, Apple Bloom, Chrysalis and multiple Hollows protecting the ponies.
"I hope he stays safe..." Ditzy says softly. For ones, she agreed.
'So do I, so do I.' She thinks to herself.
0o0o0o0
Spike stands looking around waiting for the beings to break through the surface, only to hear a scream. He turns and see's Sparkler being trapped by two Diamond Dogs. One looked like a boxer and the other a poodle. He pushes down hard onto the ground as he rockets towards her in a burst of speed making a crater and a wall of earth to form from the spot he stood at.
He blurs in front of her and watches the large poodle's claws. One of them manages to go through his Hollow Hole, not something he enjoys believe me, and grunts as he is pushed back slightly. He glares at the mutt in anger.
"You shall not have her." He growls out in anger as he feels his anger rising but masks it with his signature emotionless mask. The poodle looks down at him with a glare.
"Why?" It snarls out in the form of a growl. He narrows his eyes as he moves in closer to it.
"Because she is not yours to claim, not shall I allow you filthy mutts to take any ponies, especially those that are important." He says coldly as his green eyes begin to glow with a raging inner fire as he pushes the dog back roughly with his left hand as his tail flicks a few times. "Now leave or I shall kill you." He states evenly and calmly as he stares the idiotic mutt down with his rage filling up his mind and chest as he notices it smiling.
It barks with laughter as more Diamond Dogs burst from the earth and grab at ponies only to have Changelings rush in to stop them by looking similar to him, yet completely different as well. Griffins rain from the skies and Hollows move in to intercept them. He growls lowly before the poodle raises a large stone sword above it's head.
'Why must they be so stupid?' He wonders as it swings the sword down. He catches it by the black and as he digs his fingers into it, the blade cracks before shattering with the sound of heavy glass dropping to the ground. The dog roars in anger.
"You die now!!" It roars out. A bored expression plays on his face as it stays emotionless at the same time.
"I see." He says lightly before looking back over his shoulder and down at Sparkler who stares up at him with wide fear filled eyes. "Go to your mother and sister and get to the Doctor." He tells her firmly and evenly. She gives him an odd look.
"But what about you?!" She screams out. He gives her a flat look.
"Do not worry about my well-being, Sparkler, I shall be perfectly fine. Now move, I'll make sure none of you get hurt." He says as he blurs forward and knocks the two dogs into the ground before following after Sparkler with an afterimage Sonido as he knocks more dogs back. As she reaches Ditzy and Dinky he knocks a large dog over onto a Griffin who's blood splatters all over the ground from the dogs great weight.
He follows after the three of them as they get into the box and he spins around where he glares hatefully down at the dogs and Griffins.
"Time to end this." He growls out as he summons his black cleaver and booms down towards them all as Bloom, Aj and Chrysalis boom in to kick some ass. He stabs a dog through the chest and swings upward slicing it up the middle in half as he then spins around and cleaves a Griffin in half with his tail which becomes sharper from the scales. He ducks under a large stone sword from a Dog and swings upward and to the side shattering it while slicing the dogs head clean off it's shoulders.
His cleaver ignites with blue flames as he swings to the side.
"Getsuga Tenshou!" He exclaims sending out a wave of blue flames that devour the Dogs. He growls as ponies are taken down into the holes and dragged underneath the town. He moves to save Lyra, but a Diamond Dog tackles him and he watches as more ponies are pulled underground. He fans out his wings and slices it's arms off of it's body and pushes the thrashing dog off of him. He looks around as Hollows and Changelings killing Diamond Dogs, the ones who weren't smart enough to escape, and Griffins mercilessly.
He hears screaming and spins around to see Dinky and Ditzy being grabbed by a large Diamond Dog that looks like a husky. He stares with wide eyes as they are pulled underground with Ditzy reaching for him. Time seems to slow as everything grows quiet. The fighting becomes a distant memory as he watches his mate and Dinky being captured over and over in his mind like a never ending hell. His hands tremble as their screaming for help echoes on in his mind.
He grips his cleaver's hilt tightly and growls lowly as his other mates and friend rush to his side, unknown to him of course, and the ground shakes as his body wracks in fury he had not felt before. Getting to his feet he stomps towards where the Diamond Dogs are retreating to.
"Spike!!" Chrysalis yells out as she booms before her and places a hand onto his shoulder. He turns to her and she looks down at him with a hard yet sad look in her eyes. "We'll get them back. I promise." She tells him. He nods.
"I know we are, because I'm going to go down there and kill every last fucking mutt there!" He snarls out as his eyes are crimson red as his tail and wings are covered in purplish black scales as his hair grows longer and sharper. She gives him a nod.
"I would normally disagree, but they have gone to far." A motherly voice says from behind. He turns to see Celestia standing there holding a golden halberd and wearing golden sun-armor. He nods and turns before he looks over his shoulder at them.
"Can you keep up?" He asks.
"Of course, question is, can you keep up with us?" Chrysalis asks as she and Celestia share a smirk before the three of them tear off after the Diamond Dogs like bats outta hell leaving an aurora streak, a lime green streak and a pitch black streak rocketing across the land along with thunderous booms as they charge after the mutts.
It was going to be fun.

The statue of Discord stands in Canterlot Palace's statue garden silently, until a crack begins to form over his chest where a pink orb pulsates and a dark chuckle resounds through the air .
Chapter 1: We...Remember...!
EQUESTRIA'S ESPADA
By: Vladimir
Spike runs, no, he sprints through the pony sister's castle as he moves along with his adoptive sister and her friends as they look for the "Elements of Harmony", whatever those are. It had taken a considerable amount of control to NOT snap at his sister; Twilight Sparkle.
He moves swiftly, before needing to stop, along with Rainbow Dash, a pony for whatever reason, holds his interests. Rarity is beautiful, but far to snobbish for his tastes or even likes. The apple pony seems to be someone whom he would love to be friends with, and even help out. The buttermilk Pegasus really seems like a good friend, maybe, as she looks to be the supportive type. Then there is the pink ball of over excited pony.
No. Just no. She would be a good friend, yes, but never would he see himself with someone who is far too carefree. But, then again, Rainbow Dash brags of her "speed", something he beats all in no matter their race. Yes, she is very, VERY fast, but, his wings are strong and large enough to make him reach the middle of her speeds in less than a few well placed flaps.
But, she is a hard worker, but, he looks upon her as if they had met before hand, even meeting up at the party and sharing nice conversations about their days, even going so far as to becomes friends, a concept he and his sister had thought was nothing but useless drabble, and yet, they became friends.
Even at the Town Hall they had remained close to Twilight, Dash in hopes of becoming her friend, and Spike in hopes of learning more about the blue Pegasus pony.
But now, the two of them panting and clutching their chest or abdomen as if there were holes there. He notices how....odd she started to look. Her muzzle seemed to become shorter, and her mane seemed to grow long. Her bust grey ever so slightly from a C-cup, to a D-cup, much to his slight enjoyment.
He shakes his head to clear his mind of such perverse thoughts, until a voice range out in his mind.
What is it you humans call, the heart?
The voice of a male says.
He shivers at how cold and uncaring it is, but it makes him shiver, because it's HIS voice. He shakes his head before moving over to Dash and wrapping his arms around her shoulders.
"Are you okay?" He asks softly. Dash nods her head before looking at Spike, whose own features were becoming different as well. Green tear mark streaks were seen moving down his cheeks from his eyes, as his scales turns from lovely purple, to lovelier ash white. His head spines seemed to fold against each other making a mock "mane" that was pitch black. His eyes were green and cat like, yet still held his draconic nature to them.
She blushes lightly, before placing a hand atop of his.
"I'll be fine. Let's just get the buck back to our friends, alright?" She asks. Spike nods his head, and go, but before he could take a step, something slams into his mind. He grunts and clutches his head tightly in his black claws, as flashes of strange people, Arrancar's as his brain told him, and even seeing full fights play out in a minute.
Dash goes to ask what's wrong, but she succumbs to the same situation, and cries out in pain as a man in white clad armor, long blue hair stands in her mind. It was her.
For Spike, he saw himself as a strange man with a long black tail, massive black wings, pale skin and long pointed upward horns. This, somehow, new was him.
Twilight and the others rush back to see their friend and brother, but free when they see the two looking, so oddly strange. Their muzzles were gone, they had faces, small noses, eyes, jaws with sharp and rounded and squared teeth. Spike has gained a mane, no, hair is what it was called. His scales had fused together to form a type of skin, while Dash's fur become the same, and her mane gained a massive blue streak running through it.
Her hooves now looking like Spike's feet, and she had gained much more height, reaching to about 6' 9", while Spike was 5' 3". They had strange white bone pieces on the sides of their heads. For Spike, it looked like a helmet, for Dash, it looked like a carnivores jaw bones.
Dash's eyes become blue and magenta, but grew cat like with the pupils. They stared as they panted heavily, and looked as if they were confused.
"The FUCK IS HAPPENING!?" Dash roars out in obvious anger. "WHERE IS KUROSAKI!" She bellows out. Applejack tilts her head to the side.
"What er ye talking about, Dash?" She asks. Dash seems to freeze up, before her eyes go wide.
"I...I died? But...damn it..." She growls out. A hollow gasp of breath makes Dash whirl around and gaze at the new Spike. "Ul..quiorra?" She asks. Spike looks up at Dash.
"It would seem we have gained a new chance at life. How very peculiar." He says with a monotonous voice. Twilight takes a step to Spike, who looks to her, and his eyes widen. "Twilight. What is happening? Where are we?" He asks, his old voice coming in, yet holds that stronger tone to it. She gasp in horror and points at Spike's chest, just below his neck, is a hole. She looks and see's a large gaping hole in Dash's abdomen.
"What's....happening to you two?" She asks.
"We must be remembering our old lives, yet, we have gained similar to our old forms, Grimmjow." Spike says to Dash, who gains a disgusted look on her face.
"It's Dash now, though I refuse to be called "Rainbow", and anyone who does, is going to have my Zanpakuto so far up their ass, they'll be puking out their bloody piss!!" She roars. The girls move away in slight fear as a strange sword appears at her left hip. Another strange sword appears, but it is on Spike's left hip.
"I see, very well, Dash. However, I do not care for either of my names to be uttered." He says with a chuckle. Dash stares at Spike wide eyed.
"Did you just...chuckle? You? Ulquiorra? The Espada of Emptiness?!" Dash exclaims in confusion. Spike gives her a shrug.
"Many Things are different now. I understand what the "heart" is, mostly, and I hold my memories of "Spike" and my old ones of "Ulquiorra". It should not be so hard to believe that I had learned the reasoning for having emotions, though they can be petty at times." Spike says.
"What?" Twilight asks. "What the hay are you talking about!? Who ARE YOU!?" She screams. Spike turns to her.
"I am Ulquiorra Cifer, but, in his life, I am know as Spike, my dear sister." Spike says. Dash turns and gives a two fingered salute.
"Yo, I am Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, but now I am known as...ugh, Rainbow Dash." Dash groans out. Spike chuckles softly before the castle shakes, and he gains a serious expression.
"Now is not the time for toying around, we must find these Elements of Harmony before Nightmare Moon kills off the planet." Spike says seriously. Twilight nods her head, and leads the group with Spike next to her, both unaware of Dash's blush when she looks at Spike, and shakes her head as if trying to clear her mind of something strange. Perhaps a memory that is binging itself back from her mind?
They move into a cathedral like area where a podium stands with five stone orbs. Twilight moves to go and touch them, but is surprised to see Nightmare Moon in to appear before her, a large scythe coming down at her. Twilight screams, but then hears the sound of metal clashing against metal.
She looks up and see's Spike standing their holding the scythe blade with his bare hand, sparks flying from the friction that shouldn't be there. Nightmare's eyes widen in shock, before snarling ad pushing down harder. Spike gives her a bored look before pushing his hand upward, and snapping the blade right off the pole.
The group, save for Dash, stares in shock as Spike then proceeds to backhand the evil Alicorn into a pillar. He turns and looks at Twilight.
"Hurry and do the damned ritual. I'll keep her at bay." He orders out before turning back to Nightmare, and appearing before her in a sound of booming static. He then proceeds to stab his hand at the Alicorn repeatedly, who blocks him with another scythe forming from nothing.
Twilight looks at her friends and nods, however, the stones don't react, and then shatter as Nightmare is slammed down onto the podium, shattering it as well. Twilight stares in horror as the stone shards lay limply, scattered all over the floor. Nightmare then proceeds to grabs Twilight by the throat, and vanish in a burst of light, taking the shards with her.
Spike rubs his head, and groans as he rises to his feet, before seeing the others, except for Dash, go after Twilight. They stare at each other for the longest of moments, before the castle starts to rumble. They spin around, and use Sonido to reach their allies. They arrive just in the nick of time, as Nightmare Moon swings downward at Twilight's neck. Spike dashes forward and blocks the scythe black with the back of his hand and wrist.
Sparks fly through the air as the two push back and forth for power and dominance.
"What are you?" Nightmare asks. Spike gives her a dull and bored look.
"I am Ulquiorra Spike Cifer. I am the ex-Quatro Espada. Now watch, as your life comes to an end." He says hollowly, making everyone gain shivers. Then Spike swings his arm backwards, creating a shockwave that rips through the air, the floors, the walls and the ceilings of the room itself from the sheer force and power. Nightmare is thrown back into a pillar, Spike gives chase as he vanishes and reappears above her.
He points his right pointer finger down at her, and a green ball of light forms just at the tip. Before anyone could react, Dash stomps on the floor in the middle of her friends, erecting marble walls to rise up around them, and then a monstrous explosion happened when a simple word was uttered.
Cero
The castle shook violently as the roof blew off into oblivion. The walls started to crumble but Twilight and Rarity erected their most powerful shield spells to protect the group while Dash spun in the air making a tornado around them to help. The floor gained horrible cracks that then caused them to rise up or collapse into the melting earth below.
Soon, the world become quiet, and the dust settled to reveal Spike standing on the air over a massive crater, filled with darkness. His eyes cold and calculative.
'Is that really Spike?' Twilight wonders to herself. Could what he had said be true, that he was some sort of monster that had died, but gotten a second chance of life? If so, she is glad to admit that he is her little brother.
"So, you survived...." Spike says without interest.
"You...YOU BASTARD!!" Nightmare screams out as her body reforms from the darkness of the crater. "YOU WILL BE DESTROYED!!!! FEEL DESPAIR!!" She roars out as her height is the size of a small house, her wings spread wide, as glowing scythes are held in her hands, and float around her form in the air.
Spike simply turns and studies her. He remains silent as he then gives the "come on" motion. Nightmare screams in rage, and swings her scythe down onto Spike, who side steps it, and allowing the blade to be plunged into the air, where it gets stuck. "Foolishness. I have seen enough." He says monotonously before stabbing his left hand right through the blade as if it were paper.
They stare at him in shock, but soon they look upon Nightmare in fear as she kicks Spike into what remains of a castle wall, which collapses atop of him.
Dash flashes before Nightmare's face with a wide toothy smirk, and kicks the giant Alicorn in the side of the head. Nightmare slams into the ground hard enough to crack it. Dash points her left open palm at the Alicorn, and a red ball forms, flashing brightly. With feral grin on her face, she screams, "CERO!," and an explosion sounds off, as a fiery dome rises into the air, sending shockwaves across the forest.
The smoke rises like a tower as shockwaves rocket making the dark clouds blocking the sky to scatter into nothingness. The ponies lower their hands, and gape as they see Dash standing on the air with a feral grin gracing her lips. Beneath her is a massive crater, where Nightmare lunges out of. She punches Dash strait into the ground, making it shatter and rise around her forearm. She pulls her arm back, making the large pieces of rock fly into the air and crash down towards the ponies.
They scream, but a golden shield forms around and above them, and a white Alicorn lands before them, holding a golden broad sword and shield in her hands. Her aurora flowing mane and tail lash about with her anger. Nightmare turns and grins down at the mare.
"Ah, Celestia. How appropriate of you to arrive. How did you get free?" She says. Celestia waves a hand towards Spike who appears next to her, his cold stare boring holes into Nightmare's own. "I see...." She growls out. She releases a battle cry and charges forward, her scythes form in her hands. Celestia releases her own battle cry and charges forward with Spike jogging alongside her with perfect ease.
Celestia grows to Nightmare's height and the two clash, making the earth shake as both the sun and moon stand in the sky. One side day, the other night. Spike moves around the two giants and reaches Dash who is just getting out of the pit she was punched into.
"Fuck that hurt!" She exclaims while Spike pulls her out with ease. She nods to him in thanks, he nods back. The two both Sonido back to the ponies, where Twilight exclaims something about them being her friends and how it's a spark of some sort. Spike doesn't know, nor does he care. He watches as Applejack gains an apple necklace, Flutter Shy a butterfly necklace, Rarity a diamond necklace, Pinkie Pie a balloon necklace, Twilight a six pointed star crown, and finally Dash a lightning bolt necklace.
He watches as they float into the air, and fire a rainbow colored beam that looks similar to a Cero .
'Interesting....' He thinks to himself as the beam crashes into Nightmare's chest, making her scream in utter pain as she is enveloped into a rainbow tornado, and he watches her shrink down in size, while the darkness of her spiral into her chest, never to be seen again. 'Very interesting.'
A flash of light later, and Dash and her friends lay on the floor, passed out, but soon come back to reality just as Celestia shrinks down to her normal size and helps the blue Alicorn rise to her hooves. Spike walks over casually with his hands in his pockets, and stands before the two. Luna stares and then blushes and looks away, while Celestia giggles before bringing him into a tight hug.
"You look different, Spike. What happened?" She asks with a smile. Spike gives her a dull look.
"I remembered my life before my death, and this new one that the Hogyoku has granted me, apparently. I am Ulquiorra Spike Cifer. I am the Ex-Quatra Espada of Sosuke Aizen's army of Hueco Mundo." Spike explains. Celestia nods her head, as if understanding all that. Perhaps she did? The blue Alicorn tilts her head.
"The what?"
"The fourth." Spike clarifies.
"Oh, why the fourth?" She asks. Spike gains an amused glint to his eyes.
"I was the fourth strongest, as I had been holding back more than half of my real power. There were three others above me, the Primera being close to my full strength, while still being stronger than me." He states. Celestia giggles to herself as her sister, Luna, gains a light blush as she tries to "flirt" with her student's "brother".
"You must be very powerful then..." She mumbles out. Spike nods his head, and can't help but feel the need, the urge to grab this mare and kiss her soft looking lips, to curve his hands around her waist and pull her close to himself. He shakes his head to clear his mind, before giving her a ghost of a smile.
"Indeed. Though I was defeated by Ichigo Kurosaki. I had managed to tear a hole through his chest, before he turned into a hollow, and killed me." Spike states.
"He WHAT!?" Dash and Luna both exclaim loudly, both feeling a strange surge of anger fill their chests.
"How could that...that! Shinigami kill you!?" Dash exclaims. Spike stares at her with wide eyes.
"Why exactly do you care?" He asks. Dash growls and pushes herself back from him, a blush gracing her cheeks.
"I don't..." She growls out blushing like mad. Luna holds the same blush, while Celestia inwardly cheers for her sister to finally find her mates after being alone for centuries.
"I see, then perhaps it does not concern you, Dash." He says, though Celestia could hear hurt in his voice. He turns away and walks away, his feet softly padding against the ground, before sitting down onto a broken wall, his eyes closed as he listens to everyone. Celestia inwardly sighs, but doesn't show it. Instead, she gives her student a smile, and the two start to speak to each other.
Fluttershy looks at Spike and how he had changed as he sits on broken wall with his eyes closed and having perfect balance. She walks over to him softly, quietly as to not disturb him. Her instincts scream at her to flee, run for her life as she stands in the presence in the most dangerous predator in the entire area. The animals of the forest all remain silent in his presence as he clearly is more of a threat to them then the others realize. Even Dash doesn't hold this same aura that Spike has looming over his head.
She tentatively taps his foot gently, and looks up at his face. His eyes snap open and peer down at her, transfixed on her own pair.
"What did you want, mare?" He asks with a cold emotionless voice. Shy whimpers softly, but stands her ground shakily.
"Are you o-o-okay? Y-y-y-y-you look h-hurt..." She says softly. Spike raises brow.
"None of you are capable of harming me. Even Da-Rainbow can't harm me. Had I wanted to, I could pop her head off her shoulders in an instant." He states cold, but hurt in his voice is evident. Shy gives him a soft smile.
"Not physically, but emotionally, she hurt you, huh?" Shy asks meekly. Spike sighs softly, shallowly, and nods his head.
"Indeed...Bu it does not matter. We should be heading back to Ponyville to make sure that the town isn't destroyed from the "battle"." He says as he drops down onto his feet next to her, making her oddly calm, and a soft jolt of electricity passes through her when they brush shoulders gently. She blushes and leans into him, surprising him immensely. "Are you okay?" He asks. Shy nods her head softly and gives him a blushing smile.
He give her a ghost of a smile and helps her walk towards the others. Celestia inwardly grins as her "son" keeps gaining more mates. It was true that he was Twilight's "sister", but she had actually gotten his egg from his late mother, Queen Virgo, and she had raised him when Twilight was with her family or doing her studies. Spike even treats her like his real mother, even now with his old memories and abilities that go beyond mortals.
He rises next to Celestia, as she wraps an arm around his shoulders, and kisses the top of his head next to his bone mask fragment, making the others watch stiffly with wide eyes.
"You are growing up into a wonderful young me, my son." She says motherly.
"Son!?" They exclaim. Luna gains a sad look, but then smile when Spike rubs her shoulder gently, giving her a small smile, before looking back up at his adoptive mother.
"Thank you, mother. Though I must apologize, ever since remembering everything, I seem to be...feeling oddly. We need to talk later on about other things, however. But at the moment, we must head back to Ponyville to show you and your sister are safe, along with making sure the "battle" didn't cause too much damage." Spike says. Celestia nods her head firmly, and in a flash of light, they vanish.
Chapter 3: Enter la Murcielago!
EQUESTRIA'S ESPADA
Chapter Three
By, Vladimir
o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Dash rubs the black spots out of her eyes and blinks a few times as to clear them fully. She looks around and stares at the two large thrones that reach up to the ceiling. Looking around more, she keeps going into awe as the room is pearl white, the carpet is crimson red while the windows are painted with...her and her friends defeating Nightmare Moon?
'What? How....How did this happen?' She thinks to herself. Looking at the paintings, she notices that there are "paintings" of Celestia and Nightmare Moon fighting, Luna and Celestia fighting Discord, even her preforming the Sonic Rainboom from when she was a filly. Looking over the paintings, she then see's an egg being passed down to Celestia from a strange looking dragon-like-creature.
The egg was dark purple with bright emerald green spots all over it. The egg itself looked to be the size of one of Celestia's breasts, while the spots seemed to be the size of her own eyeball.
She wonders what had happened to the egg.
"Wondering about the egg, huh?" Celestia's voice says from behind her. Dash jumps slightly, and turns around. Looking up at her Sun Goddess, she nods her head dumbly. Celestia looks towards the egg and says, "He hatched on the day Twilight earned her Cutie Mark. The egg had become my son. Many times had I tried to hatch it, but I simply could not, so, I used it to test Unicorns on their magic if they were powerful enough to do so. When Twilight earned her Cutie Mark, the egg hatched.
After a thousand years of trying to hatch it, it hatches when my most faithful student opens her magical pathways, and with that magic, sent it into the egg, and helped it hatch. Unknown to her, however, I had soaked my magic into the egg as well, and thus, the two combined magic ultimately made him grow before returning back to his baby form." Celestia says. Dash raises a brow.
"Who's he?" She asks dumbly. Celestia giggles softly, motherly before turning to a certain painting. Dash looks to it, and gasps. There, she see's Spike as a baby sitting in Celestia's lap with a young Twilight next to him.
"Spike?" She asks. Celestia nods.
"Yes, Spike is my son." She says softly.
"And I wouldn't change that for anything!" Spike's voice states from between them, making Dash jump and fall over, while Celestia simply snickers playfully. Spike grins down at Dash, who huffs and gets back up to her feet, before dusting herself off. Looking Spike over, her eyes go why as she notices that there are three Zanpakuto that eerily resemble Kurosaki Ichigo's Zanpakuto.
"No fucking way...you can't be fucking SERIOUS!!" She roars out as she whips out Pantera from it's sheathe. Spike whips out Murcielago, and spins around. His eyes widen as his pupils seem to dilate.
"How...?" He asks breathlessly. Celestia looks over towards the three floating swords and sighs.
"These three swords were found during Nightmare Moon's attack being stabbed into the Gates of Tartarus by a strange masked creature who looked to have escaped from Tartarus itself..." She states. Dash's and Spike's eyes seem to widen more in surprise, before strange memory flashes move through their minds, causing the two of them to clutch their heads and drop to their knees in agony, their cries of agonized pain booms throughout the room.
The Zanpakuto glow and then ignite with power that makes strange flaming pillars that break through the roofs of the palace. The one near Dash starts to gain color but instead of the cleaver being silver and black, it is cyan black and blood red, while the cloth is rainbow colored.
The two cleavers change colors, as one becomes white and purple with a black cloth while the other is black and gold with white cloth. The two blades both appear onto his back, while Dash's cleaver forms into her side as it is less wide and long as Pantera itself, and Spike's new "swords" are just a but longer than Murcielago.
The two groan as their "new" Zanpakuto seem to send waves of calm over their very beings, then the new swords seem to turn into energy. Dash's new sword flows into her neck piece, while Spike's new sword flow into his wrists where strange obsidian black and bleach white cloths form going up to his elbows.
They pant heavily as their pains recede back into their "cages" and then become locked away. Rising to their feet, the ponies note that there is a powerful aura around them that just screams, "We-Are-Beyond-You-All-Now". Spike's hair suddenly gains a bleach white streak to it while becoming longer down to his mid back while his Hollow Hole seems to double in size. Dash's hair gains a black streak through it, while her own Hollow Hole grows slightly smaller than before.
Their eyes gain power to them while their natural Spiritual Pressure builds up and presses everyone in the room down slightly through the floor before they reign as much in as possible and locking it in all at once. Dash looks down at Pantera and notices that an orange streak moves down the blade, while on Murcielago a black and white streak moves down both sides of the blade in strange intricate lines.
Dash then remembers that attack Kurosaki Ichigo had used so many times against her in her "past life". She turns to Spike, her lips are graced by a feral grin. "Wanna test out our new powers?" She asks. Before Spike could answer, familiar black and new blue flames form around Pantera, before pointing directly at Spike's chest. A strange looking mask starts forming around her face starting from her "collar". GeTsUgATENSHOU!! A large beam of black and red flames form into a beam, encompassing Spike's entire form and obliterating most of the castle wall and a few small spires.
The ponies stare with wide eyes and slack jaws as they see Spike standing there with his left hand outstretched and completely unharmed. "Was that all? Pathetic..." He says coldly, emotionless. He booms behind Dash and points his finger right up against her shoulder as a blue ball of lightning starts to form."Hado No. 4: Byakurai..." A beam of lightning shoots through her shoulder the size of his tail, sending her face first into the floor.
'Fuck....' Dash thinks to herself. 'Wasn't expecting THAT...ow...' She booms above Spike and fires a bala, which is deflected by Spike's right wing right back at her, sending her flying through a column and wall. Dash recovers quickly and stomps onto the floor, making walls of pearl rise to protect her, while she booms high above the castle with Spike and the Princesses following after while the ponies below watch a screen once more.
The two soar higher and higher into the sky into the center of monstrous storm clouds. Thunder booms as lighting licks the sky and earth as if it were spears of the heavens and were pissed.
Celestia and Luna reach just below the storm but cast a spell as to see what goes down for the ponies in the castle below.
Spike and Dash circle each other as they leave air rings around behind them as they enter Mach 4, causing the winds and thunder to grow faster and louder. They then soar towards each other, Dash with a feral grin and Spike with a serious expression, and clash swords, making a shockwave that rips through the air, yet somehow makes the clouds darken and grow more fierce. They swing away fro each other, making strange black and white walls of energy clash against each other, adding to the lightning affect.
They circle each other once more, though Dash seems to be bleeding from her forehead, as a blood trail goes down over her left eye. She smirks widely and swings Pantera, sending out another Getsuga, but it is cleaved in half by Spike's left hand before he sends out a Wide Cero from Murcielago that forces Dash to use Sonido to dodge and get behind Spike all at the same time without being caught.
Dash appears behind Spike, only to be knocked around like a ragdoll by his long whip-like tail that sends her flying through the electrified air. She grows and feels a strange sense of power course through her body, more specifically, her "collar".
Use me....Use me to show what we can do....Rainbow Dash!
A voice calls out to her through her mind. Pantera is then sheathed and she summons her new cleaver that radiates with strange power. She then swings downwards, sending out a blue crescent shaped wave that fires out and jets across the sky through the clouds and slamming into Spike, making a large explosion that sends Spike flying across the sky and bounce across the "ground", before bright blood red flames flicker across the cleaver, as her Element shines brightly from the "collar" while her body seems to become covered in red lightning.
Her face becomes covered with a strange looking mask that forms from the Element and is bright red as her hair becomes covered in strange energy and becomes longer as well as sharper and moves on it's own like tentacles.
She grips the hilt tighter and swings to the side, sending a red crescent shaped wave down at Spike who just manages to block it with a green Cero . The explosion rockets Spike through the air, but is then shocked by red lightning which is guided by Dash's cleaver blade which pulsates the red energy once more. The air around Dash seems to pulsate with a strange rainbow colored energy, her hair covers her eyes making them look as if they don't exist.
She lifts the cleaver and points it directly at Spike and a spiraling ball forms at the tip of the blade with rainbow and blood red lightning circling it in a typhoon like fashion. GeTsUgA CERO!!! She states calmly with her strange voice as a mixture between a Cero a Getsuga fires down at Spike, causing his eyes to widen, she then swings the blade down at the attack just starts to fly, and becomes a Getsuga.
Insane laughter roars in her mind and she inwardly screams in pain as she feels something else begin to take control, her aura seems to darken more and more, as the whites of her eyes begin to become covered in strange black flames.
Spike points his left index finger and a black Cero forms.
Cero Oscuras... He states and a black beam jets out. The two attacks clash. Dash's attack devours Spike's own and seems to grow larger, stronger and much faster. His eyes widen more in surprise and before he can even react, red lightning arches bind his limbs to a red lightning cross, his eyes then narrow as his body starts to pulsate a pitch black and sickly green aura. The wave crashes into him like a freight train and then explodes into a massive black and blue dome with red lightning arching off of it.
The ponies down below gasp in horror as the sphere keeps expanding before, quite literally, exploding once again, causing thunder to boom, the castle and building of Canterlot seem to shake from the sheer octave levels. The Princesses stare as they see Dash holding spike by his wing and then throws him to the side as her eyes are now black and red, a mouth of concave teeth forms and horns jet forward.
She roars loudly as her clothes become tattered for some odd reason, the smoke that surrounds her adds to the disturbing situation. Between her horns forms that same attack once again and she fires it down at the ground straight at the Princesses. Celestia summons a strange looking halberd and points it up at the beam. A sun gold orb forms and then a massive sun gold Cero booms, blocking Dash's own Cero , making a monstrous explosion.
"This is becoming too dangerous to let continue!" Luna exclaims as she stares at Spike's deranged form. Celestia nods her head as some fear creeps into her chest. 'I hope he is okay....' Luna thinks to herself before summoning a crescent moon scythe and sending a Cero of her own up at Dash, who backhands it away, before sending out a black and blue Getsuga that roars down at the two Goddesses.
Luna fires again and again while Celestia sends sonic rainbooms in the shape of crescent waves. The attack collide and Luna's attacks jet at Dash, who flickers from side to side making her look like a blur even to them and then appears behind them with a Getsuga ready to go off.
They spin around and fire off Cero 's that make Dash's Getsuga explode in her face, but does not harm either of them. Luna rips her hand through the air, sending a cerulean wave of energy that knocks Dash back while Celestia kicks her in the stomach, making the possessed ex-Espada rocket higher into the air.
They both point their weapons up and fire a gold and cerulean beam that roars up towards Dash, who's horns charge a Cero the size of a cartwheel before it fires into a mile wide beam that collides with the Princesses own. The two beams fight for dominance, before simply exploding, making the clouds burst and send down needle like rain particles.
They squint as to keep the wind from damaging their eyes, but then widen them as Dash flickers before them while firing off a Getsuga that roars towards their faces. They both move their weapons in front of them and form magical barrier shields that manages to block the attack and then absorb it as well. They spin their weapons, making mini-tornadoes fly at the possessed ex-Espada, who simply stands there.
Her eyes narrow and she swipes her clawed hand to the side, sending five smaller Getsuga's fly forward and cut through the tornadoes. Celestia punches the air, making a golden crescent flame the size of a Dash's powered up Getsuga surge forward and knock out the five mini ones. All the while Luna teleports to Spike's body, and stares wide eyed in horror at his body .
His left wing is missing, his left arm and both legs are gone while his tail looks to be split in half in the most painful way possible. His eyes are covered by his black and white hair, but she can see blood trails moving down from them over his tear marks and trailing down his cheeks. His whole left side if missing while in his right side is a sizable hole. Blood pools around his prone form as his chest remains still.
She places her head onto his chest and sobs softly as her "bonded" is "dead". A cut on her cheek unnoticed by her, drops some blood into his slightly open mouth. She sobs harder, but soon grows startled as she hearts a loud *THUMP THUMP* and she raises her head. She see's her blood drop onto his pale and black lips and she begins to feel his energy reach out to it. Her eyes widen in realization.
She takes a deep, shaky breath, before places her "bonded" head to her neck where she forces him to bite down. She winces slightly, but soon feels her blood beginning to leave her, and Nightmare Moon beginning to stir, but, oddly enough she whispers for Luna to keep feeding him their blood. She complies happily as she watches Spike's body begin to heal quickly through strange black liquid and her magic imbued blood.
Soon, his body heals faster and faster, and she feels strong arms wrap around her neck gently, and she around Spike's waist. She feels him drink more and more from her, his tail begins to shrink and go into his body, while his wings seem to become darker and dark while his hair becomes raven black with moon white tips. His "collar" shifts into a helmet piece with a horn, while he gains moon pale skin.
His claws shrink into fingers with black nails, and his he begins to get shorter and shorter than her while she can feel his power rising more and more. His cloths start to come back (A/N: yes his Espada uniform but black and somewhat tighter than puffier) as his wings fold up against his back.
The blood around his eyes glows and eerie purple as they open softly and slowly. His dragon/cat like green eyes shine softly with a purple hue to them for some unknown reason. He detatches his mouth from Luna, who whimpers softly from loss of contact, and gazes into a soft cerulean eyes.
They stare into each others eyes, though Luna can feel Nightmare slightly take over and her left eye becomes Nightmare's. They both lean in close and kiss each other softly, electricity jolts through their bodies as they feel their bond getting stronger and stronger. The two part from each other, Luna pants slightly from loss of breath while Spike smiles gently at her as he gains his old "Ulquiorra Looks".
"Thank you, love." He whispers softly from an inch of her muzzle. She nods her head and smiles softly.
"Thank Nightmare Moon too, she seems to like you just as much as I do...!" She pants out happily. Spike nods his head lightly.
"Thank you as well, Nightmare Moon, for helping me." He says softly. Luna's right side of her face becomes covered in a black mask that looks all too familiar to the third Esdpada Tier Hallibel's own, but with the Alicorn horn piece and crown as well.
"No PrObLeM, jUsT dOn'T dIe! FoOl..." Nightmare hisses out "lovingly" before vanishing, allowing Luna control. Spike smirks lightly before getting a serious expression and looks up at his "mother" and first "bonded" duking it out.
"This must end." He looks at the Lunar Goddess before him. "Get Celestia away from here, I'm going to end this, and bring our Rainbow Dash back!" He states calmly. Luna nods her head, before teleporting away, sending a telepathic message to Celestia, who nods and vanishes away as well.
Now they watch as their Princesses seemingly "flee" the battlefield, leaving a possessed Dash and a now healed Spike behind to "duke-it-out".
Spike looks to Dash, who releases an enraged and feral roar that rockets across the skies. He flickers far above Dash, and grabs Murcielago's hilt, unsheathing it he points the tip of his blade at Dash. Two words echo through the air as if it were judgement day .
Tozase...Murcielago....
The air becomes far heavier than before as black and sickly green rain erupts from Spike and downpours down all over Canterlot as the whole sky turns pitch black and the sun becomes a giant crescent moon. The wind roars loudly before it booms down to the earth, making large dust walls rolls across Canterlot, making the ponies cling to something built into the ground and close their eyes tightly.
The ponies in the castle open their eyes and stare at the "screen" with wide eyes as they now see Spike's Resurreccion form for the very first time. His form looks much different, as he appears to be in a "dress" and his wings are twice as large, a large horned helmet rests atop his head while a neon green javelin rests in his hand which he summons.
Spike looks down at Dash with cold, emotionless eyes. Dash's red and black eyes stare wide as if whatever has taken control over her, is staring in fear at what is most likely going to send it back into the recesses of Dash's very soul.
"Ready your blade, don't lower your guard..." He states evenly before throwing the javelin down at Dash, who moves backwards slowly. The javelin clips her shoulder gently as she watches the javelin fly past her. She looks forward, only to see Spike before her with another javelin in his hand. He swings down. When it clashes with the cleaver the javelin detonates into a giant neon green dome.
Seconds later Dash flies out of the smoke with her left horn slightly cracked, the red and black eyes stare at Spike who flies alongside her soaring form. He swings down with another javelin and sends her rocketing down towards the old palace in the Everfree Forest and into a pillar.
The ponies and the Princesses -who joined the ponies after their departcher- star in shock as Spike chases after the possessed ex-Espada, and seemingly treats her the meaning of "rag-doll-physics".
Spike knocks Dash across the decrepit castle with ease. Her mask starts cracking more and more, and the blacks of her eyes begin to fade out/away revealing bits and pieces of white underneath, while the red does the same for the magenta beneath.
He appears behind a now standing possessed Dash and grabs her mask's horns. He grunts softly and rips the horns off into different directs, causing the mask to shatter and a sonic boom to burst across the forest, sending trees flying. Dash's hair "shatters" like glass and her magenta eyes are lidded eyes as she begins to drop to her knees, but Spike is quick to catch her quickly and hold her bridal style, before using Sonido to appear before the ponies, his presence sends a sense of fear and excitement through the ponies bodies as he stands before them, his wings spread out in all their glory.
As his form returns back to normal, the sky and sun do so as well, gracing the entire land of Equestria with the suns warm and loving rays once again.
Dash slowly starts to wake up, but soon flinches in slight pain and rubs her head, "ow" she says weakly as her head pounds like a thousand drums going all at once. She looks around the room with tired eyes before she realizes that she is being held by two strong arms. Flashes of the battle wage in her mind, causing her eyes to widen and to move and look around frantically.
"Spike! Where's Spike!?!?" She exclaims in worry.
"I'm right here, My Dashy" Spike says softly into her ear. She shivers lightly, but soon wraps her arms around his neck as he holds her tighter to his chest.
"I'm so, so sorry! I don't know what came over me!" She exclaims sadly as sobs form in her throat. Spike cooes to her softly and squeezes her gently.
"Do not worry, we are fine now, My Dashy." He whispers softly. She shivers once again and looks up at him, only to be surprised as she see's Ulquiorra with wings instead of Spike's altered form.
"How...?" She asks. He bobs his head forward and she follows the motion, to find a blushing human looking Princess Luna. She blinks once, then two times before gasping in shock. "You look human! How...!?" She gasps out. Spike chuckles softly.
"That would be my fault, as I drank from her blood. But, somehow she managed to gain a human looking form, interesting, very interesting indeed." He says softly. She nods her head while Luna hugs the two of them tightly, and kisses her forehead gently, causing the "Pegasus" to blush.
"It's good to have you back, our "Dashy"." She teases with a sexy wink, causing the Pegasus to blush even more, but does not mind it much.
"Y-Yeah...?" She asks. Spike kisses her gently, catching her by surprise once again. He parts from her and smirks.
"I made the bonds between the four of us strengthen." He states. She raises an elegent brow.
"Four?" She asks.
"Nightmare Moon has joined us, and, without her, I would most likely be dead." He tells her. She nods her head lightly, before shrugging.
"Alright, I mean, we did much worse than her in our "past-lives" before being "reincarnated" into this one. Though, what I can't understand is why and how I got controled..." Dash wonders. Luna clears her throat.
"I can answer that. It's similar to how Nightmare is for me, there is an "opposite" you, but it seems to be similar to the past you..." She says. Dash raises a brow, and Luna blushes once again. "Bonded can see each others memories and abilities. I managed to transfer some of both your abilities to my sister when we fought you, Dashy." She says softly. Dash nods her head, and then leans back into Spike's arms.
"So, you know of what we did and how we didn't care?" She asks. Luna nods.
"I did, and I can understand your position, Dash, but Spike...he confuses me. He has more power than one would ever imagine, and yet, he hid it as to stay No. 4 of the Espada army, he even outclassed that old man..." She mutters out. Dash looks at Spike with a raised brow.
"Is this true?" She asks. Spike nods his head lightly.
"Yes, though, I can tell I am far beyond that point, as are you, My Dashy, as we both seem to be Primera to Cero level Vasto Lorde's." He says lightly. She nods her head, before fatigue start to catch with her and Spike, and the two pass out. The last thing Spike see's is the flash of two beings standing in his mind, both of them smiling sadly.
