Three months ago, Spike woke up covered in blood in the arms of Twilight Sparkle. Amnesic, Spike was left with a single memory. Though short, this memory contained being with Twilight at a park and protecting her from bullies. Gathering from the memory, Spike took Twilight as his sister. Not long afterwards, Spike was moved to an underground laboratory in Canterlot. Diagnosed as being the only known creature infected with a rare and fatal virus that has already turned fifteen ponies and the entirety of the timberwolf population to stone. Spike lives out his days in this laboratory.
