Spike promptly went outside of the castle. The battle was still going on with lots of bloodshed here and there. He could not believe what he was doing all this time. Never has he felt so guilt-stricken in all his life. He killed a prince and a princess over what he believed was just, and try to take over the world with his army of many creatures and monsters so he can be king and take revenge, which he found out was a lie. How could he possibly live like this? He cleared his throat and screamed at the top of his lungs "STOOOOOOOOPPP!!!!!!"

The echo roared like a lion, and just like that, the fighting went to a complete halt. Some of the soldiers on both sides were saved just right before they can be killed by their opponents and their blood spilling on the ground from their open wounds.

At first Celestia's army looked at him with anger and hate while the army in his own looked in confusion and wondered why he was standing next to Princess Celestia and Luna, who were actually looking high and proud. "This war is over." the baby dragon announced. "Now, I command everyone in my army to stand down and drop their weapons." At first, they were really reluctant about this and worried that if they did that, their enemies might strike while they are defenseless and helpless.

"Listen to my nephew!" Torygg commanded to the army on his and Spike's side. "Please." at last when they saw the look on their original leader's eyes, they all agreed, and of course they didn't want to feel the wrath of an angry, gigantic dragon like him.

"And I command my army and allies to do the same." Celestia said in a more warm voice. Just like that, her side of the factions all did the same. Although, they have dropped their weapons and shields. However, of course, both sides were keeping an eye out against one another. Both looked at eachother suspiciously and were ready just in case their opponents might trick them.

"Like I was saying, this war is over." Spike began, and he cleared his throat before continuing. "What I did was a mistake. You see, my parents were killed by princess Celestia herself-"

"And that's why she must die!" Said a griffon soldier

Many soldiers on Spike's faction all shouted in agreement. "QUITE!!!" Torygg roared with a small blast of fire escape in his nostril. Just like that, they all stopped their shouting and heckling.

"Thanks, uncle Torygg."

"You're welcome. Continue, nephew."

Spike cleared his throat again. "As I was saying. She only did that because my parents were both evil, and wanted to lay waste to every creature except for their own race. So, she saved me, from them. If not for her, I would have been like King Sombra or queen Chrysalis, or Tirek even." He bowed his head in guilt and shame. "Now, I have done some pretty terrible things these last few days, I killed Princess Cadence, and Shining Armor for what I believe was justice, but I was such a fool."

Now, some of the soldiers were becoming a little guilty themselves, and many others were just plain confused by all of this.

"Celestia, before I was going to kill her, shown me a memory from her head set place a long time ago, and it showed what my parents really were. She did truly save me from them. For a minute, I thought I never had any real family, and wanted to defend my parents honor, but hell, was I wrong about everything."

Twilight and all of her friends started to smile at Spike's realization. Twilight was starting to feel that the old Spike was coming back to him.

"I realized that my real family was right here in Ponyville and all of Equestria. Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie are my very best friends.... well used to be my best friends. I threw that all away because of a that killed Shining Armor and his wife." Then he went up to Twilight amd her cronies and showed them his sword. "I.... am not asking you all to forgive me, I just want you all to understand." Then he began to shed a few tears in his eyes. "I am sorry, everypony." He sobbed as he continued. "I am so sorry. I don't deserve to live after all the unforgivable things I did. Twilight, I killed your brother, so..... kill me."

Twilight and her friends were shocked and confused to hear this.

"I don't deserve to live. I committed horrible crimes, and now I must do the time." Then he bowed his head and waited for the Mortal blow to be inflicted as his final curtain.

Twilight frowned and picked up the sword with her magic. Yes, Spike may have killed her bbbff, but he was misunderstood and misguided. Her friends were also saddened to see Spike wanting to die like this. Then, the purple Alicorn dropped the sword and pierced the ground with it.

"Spike," she said. "It's okay."

"No it isn't." The baby dragon replied. "I killed Shining Armor over a lie and a false belief, and I must pay the price. At least you can do is just for you to forgive me alone. If anypony else wants to hate me or spt on my grave, or pee on it, they are more than welcome to do so."

"Stop saying that." Twilight begged. "We want you to forgive us, for not being good friends or family to you. If you really felt that way it must be true." She knelt down to make eye contact with him. "I love you, Spike, and I always will forever."

"But... you're brother-"

"That was a very bad thing, but like I said you were misguided."

Spike sniffed himself. "Did you all really mean it when yoy say you love me or care about me a s a true friend?"

"Of course we did, darling." Rarity replied.

"Oh yes, and you are one of the sweetest dragons ever." Fluttershy stepped in.

"It's okay to make mistakes of you can learn from them. This was not entirely your fault. We are the ones to blame too. I am sorry that we pulled that prank on you in April fools, even though you didn't want to."

"Yeah, we were just trying to brighten up your day about your parents." Applejack added.

"We're sorry." They all said together in unison.

Spike smiled and asked "do.... do you forgive me?"

"Yes, we forgive you." Then Twilight hugged him as he continued sobbing on her shoulder.

Gaston, Tyrus, Jack, Gerald and Geraldine were all touched bybthis, and felt a tear escape their own eyes. Celestia and Luna walked up to him and smiled.

"Your majesties, if you will punish me like through me in the dungeon for life, I understand cause I deserved it."

Celestia smiled. "I think the events you were put through was punishment enough."

"I think you are right, sister. After all, we will see Shining Armor and Princess Cadence in the next life. Well, you all, anyway."

Spike smiled. "Good. Can... can you all forgive me?"

"Yes, sweetie." Celestia giggled. "We all forgive you."

Then everyone on both sides cheered amd made amends for both sides, even with hugs. "Well, Spike. Me and Emerald Fang will help the princess' rebuild the capital and make amends for all ponies."

"That would be great." Spike noted.

"Now, come on, Spike. Let's just go home." Then Twilight carried him in her arms while hovering in middair. While Canterlot was celebrating their victory over this pointless war. Hopefully everypony else will find the erge to forgive Spike for what he did, maybe not all, but most.

"Hey, Twilight?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you think when we get back home, maybe I can have some tea?"

"Of course, you must be thirsty."

"And maybe tomorrow we can all go to the Crystal Empire."

"That would be wonderful.

Meanwhile, Imari, and the other generals from the different countries all went up to Celestia and Luna, and made sincere apologies to them for what they did altogether. Of course, Celestia forgave them.

"Well Imari, I suppose we will tell your leader about what really happened, and it sounds like we will be making a press conference about a peace treaty very soon. Wouldn't you agree, Luna?"

"I do."

Author's Note

I decided to make more of a happy ending so you all wouldn't hate me, and to make more sense about this whole plot.
