It was three days after Hearth's Warming day, and when Spike proposed to the Mane-iac, and now, she will be his wife. Since then Mane-iac was even more happy than ever, and wouldn't stop thinking about it. Speaking of which, she was back in her home, and told all her servants about the proposal and the marriage. The big question now is: what will become of them when the Mane-iac becomes married to Spike? Nonetheless, they were all very happy for their boss to get married.

"That is wonderful news!" Said Hair Stylish.

"Can we come too?" Said another one of her servants

"Of course you can, Callous Comb. You can all come!" Said the Mane-iac At a voice so that all her servants can hear her. "The wedding will be tomorrow." She announced

Her servants cheered, but then Hair Stylish said "um... Mistress? What will become of us?"

The Mane-iac was now dumbfounded, and she answered "Well I.... You see... I... I don't know. I havent't really... Thought about it."

"And what about the crimes we can commit?" Said another Hench-stallion.

"I don't know." Said the Mane-iac. Then, a lightbulb formed over her head with an idea. "I got it!" She exclaimed with an idea. "I forgot about the machine we built so that I can visit Ponyville anytime I please."

Now the servants understood what will happen. "Should we build a new lair in Ponyville?" Said Callous Comb.

"We'll, Ponyville is very nice, and very beautiful." The Mane-iac said, pacing to and fro as she was thinking for a perfect solution. "But I love Spike more." She admitted. Finally. She thought of a perfect solution. "We just need to build a few more machines so that many of you can come and go as you please, and so that you won't need that Comic book to go back here."

The servants discussed one another about if it was a good idea or not. Many of them agreed with the idea, Some of them didn't think the same way.

The Next Question was: what will become of the lair? And what will the Mane-iac do with it?

Nevertheless, they all decided to go with the wedding. Hopefully, it will be a wonderful occasion for Mane-iac, Spike, and the Hench-stallions.

Meanwhile, back in Ponyville, Spike was also thinking about the wedding nonstop like the Mane-iac was. He couldn't believe that it would come to this. The Mane-iac, about to become his wife. He always thought in the past that Rarity would marry him, but that is long behind him now. He really hope that it will be a very special day for him, and his future wife.

"Hey, Spike." said Twilight as she was walking up to him.

"Yeah, Twi?" said Spike.

"I migh might have said this before, but I want to say how happy I am for you." Twilight said. A tear than caem down her face.

"Yoy okay?" said Spike a little concerned.

"Yes." Twilight sobbed. "I... I... I am just so happy for you." She began to cry a little louder and pulled Spike into a very tight, mother and or sisterly hug.

Spike smiled and said "Thanks Twilight" and then he hugged her back. He began to shed a tear himself. Indeed, Spike was growing up, not in the way when he destroyed Ponyville one time, but the other way around. "You and the others are going to help me, right?" He and Twilight let go after he asked that question.

"Of course we will." Said Twilight motherly. "Anything for a really good friend." The baby dragon smiled at her remark. "So, what would you like to do?"

Spike thought of what to do on this beautiful winter day. It took him a few seconds, but he asked "Isn't there any work for me that you want me to do?"

"Hmm... you already sweeped the floors, cleaned the bookshelves, and organised the books." said Twilight. "So.. why don't you take the rest of the day off?"

"Really?" said Spike

Twilight nodded. "I don't want to overwork you. So, why don't you go out and play in the snow again?"

"Aw, thanks Twilight." said Spike.

"you're welcome, Spike." Twilight replied kindly. The baby dragon then ran out into the snow, but before he could, Twilight stopped him by saying "Just don't stay out to long, or-- or you'll catch a cold."

"Twilight." said Spike with a groan of embarrassment while rolling his eyes in irritation.

"Okay, okay." said Twilight, worrying that she would make Spike mad. "I'm just checking." THEN the baby dragon went out to play in the snow.

While he was out there, he decided to make a snow angel. After he was finished, he saw a pointy tip below the angel's dress. It was probably from his tail. He thought of an idea; he used a really long and wide stick to draw on the Snow. He drew really big letters on the stick, and it read: "Spike and the Mane-iac forever" on the white frozen water.

A few ponies came to see the words, and some of theme went "Aww." Like they were so happy for Spike and his new psychopathic future wife's marriage tomorrow. He saw Pipsqueak, Rumble, Featherweight, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders playing Snowball fight, and the baby dragon decided to join the fun.

In the changeling lair/homelands, Chrysalis the queen, was preparing for Spike's.... special chambers for when she was going to use him to... "repopulate" the changeling race into a stronger, and better type of changeling species.

"Captain!" Chrysalis barked. A smaller male changeling rushed up to her, like a loyal follower/pet. "Do you have the sleeping spray?"

"Yes, your majesty." Captain lockjaw answered obediently.

The evil queen smiled at seeing the trick for bringing Spike to her lair, and turned her attention back to her finest captain. "Good. Leave me!" She ordered. The captain did what she told him, and ran out of her throne room. "This is the perfect thing I need to bring that adorable baby dragon here." She thought In her head.

"What will this do?" Asked Fang, whoone of her two lackeys that were with her spying on Spike and her future wife.

"This will make Spike fall asleep for a few hours without ANYTHING waking him up, not even the loudest noise will do it."

"How are you going to spray this on Spike?" Said Claw, the other of the two lackeys. "He lives in a town filled with ponies, or in other words: witnesses, your majesty."

"Yes, I know." Said the changeling queen. "I will come there at nighttime, and I will disguise myself as one of his friends, transform the potion into a perfume so that no pony will notice. You musn't forget that we changeling a are the masters of disguise, you two."

"Oh shit. I forgot about that." Said Fang, being hard on himself.

"Yeah, sorry, your majesty. Why did we even fucking forgot about that?" Said Claw, who was even more hard on himself.

"Oh, Claw." said Chrysallis in a motherly voice. "There's no need to call for profanity, and the same thing for you, Fang." She looked at her sleeping potion again, and deviously thought to herself "He is about to be in for a real surprise."

"What should we do, your highness?" asked Fang

"Tell the others that there will be more changelings to come." Chrysalis ordered.

"Yes, milady." said the lackeys in unison. Like the captain, the swiftly left the throne room, leacing Chrylalis alone with her little idea in the palm of her hand; magic hand to be exact

Meanwhile, later on in Ponyville, It was nighttime, and Spike was enjoying some hot cocoa that Twilight made for her, sitting on his small bed. Meanwhile, Twilight was reading one of her books, as usual like she always does.

All of a sudden, a knock on the door appeared, and Spike answered it. It was Rarity, his former love interest. "Oh, hey Rarity." sadi Spike happy to see her. "What's happening."

"Hello, Spikey-boo." Rarity said kindly. "I do hate to interrupt, and or bother you, but I made this new perfume for my shop, and I just wanted to see if it smells very splendid. Not just from me, but from everypony else."

"Let me tell Twilight that." said Spike. the baby dragon went upstairs, and said to Twilight. "uh... Twilight?" The purple allicorn gave a small yelp, obviously startled by Spike's sudden touch. "Sorry." Spike said, worried that Twilight would be mad.

"No, it's okay." said Twilight with a smile. "I just needed a break. What is it?"

"Rarity's here. She wants me to test out a new product for her shop. Can I go to her house? Just for a few minutes?" Spike asked kindly.

"Of course." said Twilight sweetly. "Just don't take too long."

"I won't." Spike said. He went downstairs, and went off with Rarity to the boutique. "Sooo... does it really smell good?" he asked Rarity

"Of course, but I want your opinion." Rarity answered.

"Oh. Alright." Spike said. The full moon was so beautiful as he and Rarity were walking down to the boutique. When they made it, Rarity closed the door, locking it. "Well, here we are." said Rarity.

"Okay, let's test out that new perfume." Spike said, ready to smell the perfume. Rarity showed Spike the perfume, and sprayed it. After one spray, Spike said "Mm. It does smell good, but... but... I..." The baby dragon felt very sleepy and very woozy all of a sudden. "I... I feel... strange." he then collapsed on the floor, but before his eyes closed completely, he saw Rarity's eyes turning demonic green with an evil smile.

"That's better." said Rarity evilly. Or was it Rarity? No, it was Chrysalis in disguise. She picked up Spike with her magic, and placed him on her back. She poofed out of the boutique, and vanished without a trace, except for only a small green piece of her wing (It's shedding season for a changelings wing). All of a sudden, a humming was heard outside the boutique, and Rarity, the REAL Rarity came in.

"Sweetie Belle. I'm home." Rarity sung. No answer. "Oh, right. She's asleep." However, she didn't notice the piece of the wing, for she was too distracted in her happiness over the wedding of Spike and the Mane-iac.

Almost a half hour has passed, and Twilight was starting to grow impatient. "Where could he be?" she thought out loud to herself "It's getting late". She was really starting to worry about him. She should have been back at least twenty minutes ago. She then decided "I better go get him." she got out of bed, and went to Rarity's house.

when she arrived at Rarity's house, she knocked. Rarity stopped making one of her dresses for a moment, and went to answered the door. "Coming" she sung. When she answered the door to find a worried Twilight. "Ah, hello my dear Twilight. What is the matter?"

"Can Spike come home please?" Twilight said in her worried voice.

"What are are talking about?" said Rarity, obviously confused

"You know, you said you were going to use your new perfume on Spike to see if it is qualified to be sold." said Twilight.

Rarity, dumbfounded, was very confused. "Why would I do that?" she asked, very confused. "I was just out running some errands, why would I even create this new perfume and have Spike try it out?"

"Wait... if you were running errands, and when you... came to my door...." Twilight also had no idea what is going on. However, she had a sudden realization to something... familiar. She had a sense of Deja Vu, when they realized that the OTHER Rarity was an imposter.

"Who just took Spike?!" said Rarity, now realizing what just happened. Yes, Spike has been indeed kidnapped.

Twilight began to panic, and started hyperventalating so fast. It was even more dramatic than Rarity would do, and she does that more frequently when something like this happens. "Okay, okay. No need to panic." said Twilight, fanning herself with her hoof to calm herself down. At the corner of her eye, she saw the piece of broken wing that Chrysalis left behind, but didn't recognize it.

"What in Celestia, is... is this?" said Rarity, with a voice of both confusion and disgust.

Twilight lifted the object with her magic, and sniffed it. Her face went from disgusted to shock, recognizing the smell. "I think I know." she said.

***

Twilight and Rarity gathered up the rest of their comrades to the library to tell them what is going on. "Spike. He's been taken by Queen Chrysalis." Twilight announced

"What?!" said the group minus Rarity and Twilight. Apparently, they were all just a horrified and shocked as Twilight and Rarity were.

"How do you know that?" said Applejack.

"I recognize a smell from a changeling when i see and or smell one." Twilight replied.

"Yeah, you probably know more about the changelings more than we do." said Rainbow Dash. "What should we do to save him?"

"Well... I really don't know." said Twilight.

While she was thinking of a solution, Fluttershy then tapped her on her side, and said timidly "Um, Twilight, I- I think I have an idea."

"Really? what's that?" Twilight said with a big smile of hope on her face.

"We can get the Mane-iac to help us, and her hench-stallions too." Fluttershy suggested.

"Yeah, that's an excellent idea." said Pinkie.

"But the question is.... where does she and her kind live?" said Rarity.

"Good question." said Twilight. For it was true, they do not know where Chrysalis lives. For they could live underground, or in a cave. Twilight was a prisoner, but she forgot all about where it lives when she and Cadence tried to escape in the royal wedding between her and Shining Armor. All of a sudden, she had an idea. "Discord!" she exclaimed

"Hey, good Idea Twi." said Applejack. "We could use his help to track down that bitch too."

"Yeah. He is very good at tracking things, and disguising himself." said Rainbow Dash

"And he's lived as long as Celestia and Luna have." Fluttershy added.

"Right!" said the rest in agreement.

"But first thing's first." Said Twilight. "We might as well tell the Mane-iac and her Hench-ponies."

"Right!" Exclaimed the rest. Twilight grabbed the comic book, and read the last words on the page out loud so that she and her friends could back in to Maretropolis. They were sucked right in, and landed right in the Mane-Iac's lair.

The Mane-iac, and her Hench-stallions gathered around the group to see what made that noise. "Ah, Twilight and friends." Said the Mane-iac, happy to see them. "What brings you all here?"

"Mane-iac, something- terrible.... Has happened." Said Twilight, trying to recover from the fall from the teleporter machine.

The unhinged mare's face turned from happy and excited to confused and concern. "What's the matter?" She asked. For she recognized the seriousness on the elements face.

"Spike's been kidnapped!" Said Fluttershy. The Mane-iac and her Hench-ponies gasped after what Dluttershy just said

"WHAAAAT!??!!?" Said the Mane-iac in total shock. "What happened?" She was really worried about Spike and his safety.

"Well, an evil Changeling named Queen Chrysalis, came to Ponyville and abducted him." Rainbow Dash answered

"What exactly is a... Changeling?" Said Mane-iac

"It's a large, insect like creature that resembles a pony" Twilight replied.

"They feed of f of love from other ponies to give them power." Added Applejack.

"And Chrysalis is there queen." Said Rarity.

This was a very serious matter for Mane-iac and Spike's friends. "Where is she?" Said the Mane-iac, very furious about the fact of what Chrysalis would do to poor Spike. She really wanted to make her suffer.

"We... We don't know." Said Rainbow Dash sadly. "That's why Discord is going to help us."

"Well, I hope he can." Said Mane-iac. "Wait! Does she posses magic abilities?"

"Yes." The elements answered.

"Oh, it's just as a thought" said the villainess. "And if she is lke an insect, that must probably mean their is an entire swarm, that could possibly outnumber us all."

"She does have a point, girls." Said Hair Stylish. "Numbers can definitely help win an a fight."

The mane 6 agreed, for he was right, numbers don't win a battle, indeed, they do help. The Mane-iac thought of an idea tha she never thought of doing something before in all her years of being a criminal and evil villain. "I think I know someponies who can help us." Said the Mane-iac

"Who?" Asked Rainbow Dash. "Wait, you mean... The Power Ponies?"

The Mane-iac nodded. She didn't like it, for the Power Ponies were her most hatted nemeses, and have been battling eachother for a very long time. However, the Power ponies were just as formidable as the Mane-iac was. "They can help us." She said.

"Do you really think that?" Said Twilight.

"We'll, with more than one pony with superpowers, it will have a better advantage of taking down those monsters without so much of an army to do it." Said the Mane-iac

"Good point." Said Rainbow Dash.

"Do you know where the Power Ponies hideout is?" Said Rarity

"That I do." The Mane-iac answered. The elements of harmony smiled with hope.

There they were, the Power Ponies lair. Turns out the Mane-iac was not lying. Twilight knocked on the door, waiting for somepony to come, but no answer. "Hello?" Said Twilight.

"Anypony home?" Said Fluttershy. Still, no answer.

"Let's just barge in there." Said the Mane-iac, impatiently. She just barged thought the doors, and the elements followed after her. The villain, and the girls looked around for any trace of the Power Ponies, and Humdrum.

"Stop right there!" Said a voice. Out of nowhere, the superheroes popped out from their hiding places. Ready to attack Mane-iac, and the Ponyville gang.

"What are you doing here, Mane-iac?" Masked Matterhorn demanded.

"Easy, Matterhorn." Said the unhinged mare calmly. "I don't want any trouble."

"Well you got trouble you crazy bitch!" Said Zapp. She was about to charge at the group, but Radiance stopped her with her magic.

"Peace, Zapp." Said Saddle Rager. "Let's just here what she has to say."

Zapp did not like it, but she decided to hear the Mane-iac out.

"Listen, do you remember Spike, that baby dragon that you all tried to save from me?" Explained the Mane-iac.

"oh, that cute little Baby Dragon that's your boyfriend?" Said Saddle Rager.

"Yes. Now we are getting married." Said the Mane-iac.

Fili-Second's face turNed into a very excited expression. "Ooh, congratulations Mane-iac. " she said with happiness.

"Well... that's not the problem. You see, he's... he's been captured by a very powerful queen. A queen known as Chrysalis. I do not know what she will do to him, but I know that I must stay her. I cake to you, because she possesses magic, and has an entire swarm. So, I was thinking we should call this a temporary truce until this is all over. " the Mane-iac was waiting to hear a response, but it was silent.

"Rrriiiiiight. " said Mistress Marevelous, very skeptical. The other a power Ponies, and Humdrum were also very skeptical.

"Look, just ask these girls." Said the Mane-iac. "They will tell you." the superheroes did what the Mane-iac told them to do, they asked Twilight abd her friends about Chrysalis, one at a time. What they told them was correct and truthful, then the Power Ponies started to believe them, but not completely.

"Just Follow us." Said Twilight. The Power Ponies were a little suspicious, but they decided to go through with this anyway. When the superheroes entered the lair of the beast, the hench-stallions gave them dirty looks, as did the superheroes did to them. More or less, they just ignored their hatred and Twilight showed them the portal. "This portal will take you to our world, and if you read the last line at the very page f the omic book, it will take you back here in Maretropolis."

The Power Ponies were truly amazed by Twilight's explanation. Still a little skeptical, but still amazed.

"So, how do we find this... Chrysalis?" asked Humdrum.

"Our friend Discord will help us." Twilight answered.

"Who's discord?" said Radiance

"You'll see when we get there." said Rainbow Dash. The group stepped into the portal, and the Power Ponies followed them. After the superheroes came the hench-stallions with Hair Stylish, of course, in the lead.

When they returned, they called Discord, and he suddenly appeared. At first, they power ponies saw him, they saw him a sa threat thanks to his freakish appearance, but the mane 6 stopped them from making a single move against the master of chaos.

"Relax. This is Discord." said Applejack

"Him?" said Mistress Marevelous.

"I promise you all i mean you no harm." said Discord. "I am not evil, well.... not anymore, i am not." He turned his attention to the elements. "So what is all this hullabuloo about?"

Rainbow Dash snickered at what he just said "Hullabaloo?" Applejack and Rarity gave her an annoyed glare

"Discord, Spike's been... kidnapped, by Queen Chrysalis." Twilight explained

"What? Chrysalis?" said Discord, also shocked to hear that.

"Do you know her?" said Pinkie Pie.

"Unfortunately, Pinkie Pie, I do." said Discord. For some reason, she hated Chrysalis for some reason. "When I was... you know... not reformed... me and Chrysalis would occasionally fight for control of Equestria, and I would always have the upper hand in the battles we would be in. Unfortunately, Celestia and Luna would always foil our battles, right before the first time they turned me to stone."

It could be a new hope for The Mane-iac, her henchmen, and the girls all at once.

"Could you take us there?" said Twilight

"Yes. I snucked into her home many times, and I am pretty sure i can poof you all there too." Discord answered.

The girls, henchmen, Mane-iac, and the Power Ponies cheered all at once. Discord poofed then poofed them to the badlands of Equestria, where there was a small cavern a few miles away from where they were. They hid behind a large rock, because there were a few guards on patrol at the entrance.

"Can you get us inside without getting any unwanted attention?" Fluttershy asked

"Of course. I just need to turn all of us invisible." said Discord. With a snap of a finger, he turned himself, and everypony else invisible. With another snap of a finger, Discord poofed him and his friends inside the cave. It was so dark, but Twilight, Rarity, Masked Matterhorn, and Radiance used their horns to light up so they could all see better. They looked around catiously to see if there was any changelings around, and there wasn't. For that they turned devisible and Discord said "I know where she could possibly be."

"Let's get my future husband back!" said the Mane-iac proudly. Everypony then followed Discord, ready for a fight, that's going to happen soon.
