The next day, Spike was still asleep, however, it was the exact opposite of peaceful. In his la-la land, he was dreaming about the day he was pranked on April fools and how his so called friends and all of Ponyville were laughing like evil demons with distorted faces and evil red eyes. He tossed and turned with fright.

"Spike!" said a voice. It was Jack the minotaur leader. He was rubbing him to stop the nightmare. "Spike wake up!"

then the baby dragon woke with a fright. "What what what?" he said. "Oh." then he calmed down. "Jack, it's just you." he slowly got out of bed and tried to look professional and not shaken.

"Are you okay, kid?"

"Yeah. I... I mean no. I had a nightmare about the prank that everypony in Ponyville did to me. God! I just hope I get to teach them all a lesson for treating me like a slave over the years."

"Ah-ha, that's exactly what Torygg would like to talk to you about." the minotaur pointed.

"Really? What about it?" Spike asked curiously

"Come, come with me." Then the baby dragon followed the hulking minotaur out of his bedroom to the large room that Torygg would usually spend in most of the time.

The large gold dragon was happy to see his nephew as usual and smiled. Emerald Fang was with him, and so was the other top leaders of the rebellion. "Ah, Spike hello. Just the dragonling I was looking for." He said in a humble voice

"Hello, Uncle Torygg." The baby dragon replied

Torygg noticed that he didn't sound very happy with that tone of voice, and made a small frown. "You sound a little troubled, nephew." He said. "Are you aright?"

"Yeah. I.. I mean... no." The baby dragon admitted. "I... had a nightmare about the prank everypony pulled on me on April Fools day just before I came here for the first time, and looked really evil."

The large gold dragon gently stoked him with his finger. "Do not worry, Spike. It was all just a nightmare. Besides, our time to strike will be sooner than you think?"

"Really? You mean u might kill Celestia today?"

"Well no." Torygg admitted. "Tomorrow or two to three days for now would be a greater chance."

"Oh."

Emerald Fang cleared his throat, and said "We have just received word that all of the nations outside of Equestria on our side said that they were all ready and help establish a democratic republic."

"That's awesome news!" Then he had a thought. "What about Shining Armor and Flash Sentry? They escaped from us, remember? They'll tell Celestia, Twilight, and the others about what we did, and then we will all be tried and executed for 'high treason' in Equestria."

"Do not worry, Spike. Leave that to us." Said Imari. "I left Shining wounded after our last battle. He can do nothing for Celestia now in this state."

Gerald stepped in and said "well, it's like our dad always said "never underestimate our enemies even if they are crippled permanently."

"Indeed yes." Said Jack. "Perhaps we should get rid of the 'rat in the walls' before they can spread the disease."

"You mean I can kill them?" Spike asked

"If yoy would like to." Said Emerald Fang. "But I would rather prefer of Gaston and Tyrus took care of it. They are masters of stealth after all."

"Aw, come on. I really want to attack them." Spike begged. "If I kill Shining, Twilight will be devastated and I would so like to see the expression on her face when she sees what I did. Besides, I want Celestia to know that it's me."

"That's very noble of you, kid." Said Jack. "But these things take time."

"I know. But please let me help you guys." The baby dragon begged.

"Don't worry, Spike." Tyrus said.

"Oui, Spike." Gaston added. "Moi and Tyrus have got everything under control. We'll make sure that pretty boy and his friend will not get to Celestia. We promise."

"Oh alright." Spike said reluctantly yet calmly. "So, what are we going to do next, uncle Torygg?" The baby dragon asked curiously

"Ah, i think you will love what we are going to do next." Torygg pointed

"What's that?"

Torygg smiled "we are going to give Celestia a message. A message of retribution for what she did to our proud race."

Spike was starting to like the idea as well. He asked "what should we write on it?"

"Well, you are the one who is going to give it to her."

"What should I write?"

"Here is what you will do." Emerald whispered into his ear and the baby dragon grew a large, grinch-like smile on his face.

It was much later in the day, like almost in the evening. While Gaston and his friend Tyrus were taking care of Shining and Flash Sentry, Spike was right outside of Ponyville. He was nervous, yet excited to do what Torygg asked him to do for Celestia.

He didn't have his sword with him, but he was fine with that, because Emerald Fang will come to him to get him out of there when he is finished giving Celestia the thing

"Okay Spike." he thought to himself. "You can do this. Do it for your uncle, and your parents. Celestia must die." He took a breath and slowly walked back to town. When he was back in town, he was staying strong and was keeping his wits about. "Just keep walking, just keep walking."

"Spike?" said a voice. He turned around in alarm and there was Twilight. Celestia, Luna, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and their friends were with them.

A large rage grew up inside of him as he was looking at the princess for what she and her sister did to his parents. "Guys." he said begrudgingly.

"You're back!" Twilight was so happy to see him She tried to hug him but was pushed away by him

"Get away from me, so-called friend." he said

"Spike. Are... are you alright?" Twilight asked

The baby dragon replied sarcastically "Well, despite the fact that I know you all just use me like a tool, i'm just fine." He looked at Celestia. "You." he said menacingly. "We finally meet again, Celestia."

Celestia sighed and had some guilt inside of her. "Spike, please listen to me." she said

"No, you listen you evil bitch!" he snapped at her. Everyone gasped at what he just said. Minus the princess of the sun, of course.

"How dare you talk to my sister like that!" Luna said. She was about to teach the baby dragon some manners, but was stopped by her older sibling

"Peace, sister. Let me handle this." Celestia told her.

"You killed my mommy and daddy, and you sold me into slavery to them!" he pointed his finger to his so-called friends. "You taken everything from me!" he began to shed a few tears from his eyes. "I hate you!"

Everypony was saddened and shocked by how he is ranting Celestia and all of them about his supposed parents death.

"You murderer!" called a male voice. Everypony looked and it was Shining Armor, being helped by Flash Sentry.

"I thought Gaston and Tyrus took care of them?" Spike thought to himself. The white unicorn stallion looked gravely injured while Flash suffered more minor wounds. The Corpse of Cadence was no longer with them for an unknown reason.

"Shining! Flash!" Twilight exclaimed with great alarm, she rushed towards her brother and comforted him. "What happened to you? And... where's Cadence?"

"She's.... dead." he coughed as he wheezed his breath.

"What?" Twilight said. She felt her heart breaking hearing the news. "How did this happen?"

Shining coughed again. "Spike happened."

"What?" Twilight was shocked more than ever. She looked at him with tears ready to form.

"Spike killed my beautiful wife, and... the Crystal Empire turned against us. His... henchmen came and ambushed me and Flash, but we.... scared them off."

"It wasn't easy, Princess." Flash said. "We had to walk all the way over here for help."

"Put me down, Flash. Please."

Then the orange pegasus dis what his superior told him to for and sat him down on the ground gently. Twilight gently held his face with her hooves.

"Princess Celestia." said Shining. "I am so sorry."

Twilight looked at Spike with more tears streaming down his face "Spike...." she said "How could you?"

"You all treated me like a slave and use me, how many times do i have to tell you that?" he replied. "Not to mention that prank. Now, I am going to return the favor."

"Why Cadence?" Applejack said in an angry voice. "Huh?!"

"Yeah, what did she ever do to you?" Rainbow added

"She knew about what Celestia did all too well. She didn't even bother telling me. As for Shining, well, he was in the way."

"You murderer!" Luna exclaimed. "That was a new low for you, Spike."

"No! it was a new low for when you and your sister killed my parents."

"Spike, please, just hear us out. We know what we did was wrong."

"You did kill his parents?" Lyra asked in shock. A lot of ponies were shocked as well, how can their beloved princess ever do such a thing to a baby dragon.

"Yes Lyra. And we are so sorry about that."

"Ha! It's too late for sorry." Spike retorted. "I... have something I want to give you."

"Don't do it, your majesty, he's going to kill you too!" Shining warned

"Shut up." Spike said to him.

"Just rest, Shining." said Celestia "Just hold out your hoof, and I promise I will not kill you." He walked up to the princess and she held her hoof out just like Spike ordered her too, and then he gave her a piece of paper with a red circle on it.

"There, now, my work here is done." Spike said "This is what a so-called great leader is! She is a murderer, nothing me, so chew on that when I kill you all!" Celestia had a look of horror on her face as she was looking at the scrap of paper. Then Emerald Fang came and was ready to get Spike out of there "enjoy yourselves, and consider it your last moments, because you will all pay for what you did to me?"

"You traitor!" Rainbow charged at them, but they disappeared before she could land a blow on them.

"Now what are we going to do, princess?" Pinkie said. "You majesty?" the white allicorn was too stunned to even move or say anything back to her

Finally, she said in terror "The red spot."

"The red what?"

"Red Spot." Shining added. "It's.... it's...." then unexpectedly, He died right on the spot. Turns out his wounds were too serious that they took a toll on him.

"Shining?" Twilight said, ready to burst into tears. "NNOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" she cried.

"Twilight!" said Rarity. "He's dead, please. There is nothing you can do!" she tried to get Twilight off of him, but failed

"No!" Twilight exclaimed. "He's my brother!" She sobbed into her older sibling.

Celestia and Luna bowed their head in a moment of silence, as did many ponies in town. Fluttershy on the other hand, believes that everything was her and her friends fault. She just wished she can go talk to Spike and tell him that she is sorry. If only her friends would feel the same as well. She just watched Twilight still sobbing into her brother while Flash Sentry was comforting her as much as he can

"This cannot be." said Luna. "How does he know about the Red Spot?"

"I don't know." then a thought came to her. She remembered facing a dragon that had immense power and recognized that green dragon that teleported Spike with him. "Or I think.... I do." She knew Torygg perhaps? Yes, it was coming to her.

"What shall we do?" Asked Luna.

"We will have to improvise and stop Spike from slaying me and taking over Equestria." For once in a long time over a millennium in fact, she was very terrified than she ever had been before. Nevertheless, she was determined to outwit her enemies and help Spike.

"Your majesty, what is the red spot exactly?" Flash Sentry asked

"It's.... a princess' death sentence by an old law that I abolished after We had the conflict with the dragons."

"What?" They all exclaimed, even Twilight as she stopped her crying for her lost.

"You mean, he is going to kill you?" Rainbow asked.

"Yes. He is too driven with revenge, hate, and anger. We need to find a way to stop this madness and help Spike."

"Right. Then we will give him a death sentence and see how he likes it!" Rainbow said

"No!" Fluttershy protested. "He's just a baby dragon."

"A baby dragon who just killed a princess and her husband." Rainbow argued.

"Because of us!" Fluttershy exclaimed.

"Enough! Both of you!" Luna ordered. "Are you not aware that Spike has given my sister an old traditional death sentence?"

"She's right." Said Applejack.

"After what he just did, I don't think I will never forgive him!" Rainbow retorted

"That is just like you, Rainbow." Fluttershy said. "You always have a big ego over your brain and your heart. Besides, I think you would make a terrible Wonderbolt!"

"What?!" Rainbow exclaimed with great offense. She and Fluttershy pushed into their faces against one another,gritting their teeth.

"Enough!!" Celestia shouted.

Fluttershy huffed and she said "I need to calm down. If anypony needs me, I will be in the meadow."

"Fine by me." Rainbow said as crossed her arms in anger.

"Oh dear, I think we should go talk to her." Rarity suggested

"Me two." Applejack added

"In a more serious tone, Pinkie said "me three." Then they trotted after Fluttershy.

"Twilight, I am so sorry about Shining." Rainbow said with Sympathy.

"He... was a good stallion." She said, wiping a tear from her eye. She saw another tear fall on the body of her brother and looked away. "Why?" She said quietly. "Why would you do this, Spike?"
