Is all Hope Lost?

Spike never felt so scared before in his life, and felt like peeing himself. Roseblood finally caught up to him by surprise, for he didn't even see it coming. First most of his friends were brainwashed and corrupted by her dark magic, and now he is meeting a threat that is possibly far worse than Chrysalis, Tirek, and Discord (before he was reformed) combined all at once? He wondered what else would go wrong next now that he was captured by a sworn enemy of Celestia and Luna

He felt like wetting himself on the spot just looking at Roseblood like this, but he tried his best to keep his cool, and be cool and collected as possible, for powerful, wicked enemies like her can probably smell fear, and if she smells the slightest touch of fear, she will probably attack.

"Here you are at last, Spike." said Roseblood before she let out a seductive and evil chuckle. "You're rather smaller than I thought, but my, you have such adorable little wings." and she began to touch both of his new wings like a doll or a play thing. The baby dragon was quite uncomfortable with this little treatment

"Ah! let go of me!" Spike struggled

"Oh hush, child." said Roseblood, holding him with her magic now. "I just wanted to get a good look at you. After all, you certainly are one of the most adorable baby dragons I have ever seen in my life." and she just rudely put him down on the floor with a loud thump, landing on his stomach and almost breaking his chin

"You actually caught him, mistress." said Twilight. "We wish that we were as clever as you."

"I am the Mare of Darkness after all, princess Twilight." Roseblood gloated. "You all need to learn what you can from me." and she walked up to Princess Celestia and Luna, looking obedient. "That includes you, Tia and Luna." she added. Without warning, she swatted at their faces with a slap, knocking them both to the ground. "This goes for all of you all, make no mistakes."

Slowly getting back on their feet, Celestia and Luna then said in unison "Yes, mistress." with their heads bowed to her to show their loyalty.

Roseblood looked on at the corrupted Elements of Harmony, who did not take her stern look off of that pretty face of hers. "Have I made myself clear to you all?"

"Yes, mistress." said the Mane Six with their heads down in shame and respect at the same time. By the looks of their faces, they seemed a little afraid of Roseblood's wrath and anger, and for a very good reason. Spike himself seemed terrified by that little action, and he was right to fear her.

"Good." she went back to her calm demeanor and looked back at the scared Spike, who was still trying so hard to not look afraid of her. "My sincere apologies about that. Some of these idiots around here cannot even think for themselves."

Spike then muttered "Yeah, especially if you brainwashed them to be servants, then I agree."

"WHAT?!" she barked close to his face. In a more calm demeanor, she asked "What did you just say?" her eyes narrowed gleaming a crimson red like a red star in the sky. The baby dragon gulped, and wished he hadn't muttered that in the first place.

"Nothing. Nothing at all." drops of sweat was dripping down his body like a fountain, he felt like this was the end of his own life as he knew it. "I didn't say anything, I swear."

"Liar!" said Rainbow Dash. "I know you said something, Spike. Admit it!" she threatened him with a scary look on her face, making Spike fall back on his butt with a yelp.

"Now now, Rainbow." said Roseblood. "Stand down." and she stopped the red glowing in her eyes. "I'm certain that little Spike did not mean whatever he had just said about me. Normally, I would absolutely fry them with my magic until they are nothing but a pile of dust!" she looked like she was going to unleash her wrath again. "But, I suppose since I am in a very good mood for conquering the world, and I have you in my grasp, I can certainly make in exception."

Spike never felt so relieved to hear those kind of words, for he felt like he got lucky. "Thank you." he said very quietly

"You are quite welcome, Spike. You should grateful and privileged to be under my mercy.”

He slowly got on his feet, and looked at his friends. “Guys, come on.” He Said. “You guys are all suffering on the inside. I know you are. You need to fight off whatever she is doing to your heads.”

“Nonsense. We are doing just fine, Spike. We all love the feeling.” Said Fluttershy with a wicked smile. “You’re the one who needs to open your eyes and wake up.”

“This is not you guys.” Spike continued. “Try and listen to me.”

“Don’t bother, Spike.” Said Roseblood with a chuckle. “You’re voice can no longer reach out them. They are all evil, and now they see clearly.”

“Given them back.”

“Give them back?” Roseblood began laughing evilly some more. “Never! I have found myself some loyal followers. Their hearts belong to darkness, my darkness. You are just one baby dragon compared to me and my new army you see in front of me.”

She walked up to him menacingly, and slowly reached her right hoof to his face. Spike gulped, and he was shaking like he was in a freezing cold tundra.p, and closed his eyes. He suddenly felt her gently moving her hoof down his face,mane she laid back next to him.

“You see Spike, Darkness is the way of Equestria, and evil is the only type of moral that will push this land into a greater future. It is time for a change to happen in the beautiful world of Equestria, by driving it to darkness.”

“But there won’t be balance, and without balance, there’s no harmony.” Spike Said. He heard the sound of heavy laughter from his friends, Starlight Glimmer, And the princess’, all laughing at him.

“Harmony is dead, Spike!” Said Applejack. “Just embrace the evil in your heart.”

“Yes. You can certainly learn a thing or two from our glorious leader.” Rarity added.

Twilight walked up to him, and had an evil smile on her face. “Come now, Spike. There is no way you can win against us. Resistance is futile.”

“That is quite alright, Twilight.” Said Roseblood. “As I have mentioned to you all before: I have... special plans for him.” She looked at Spike once again. “And there is no need for you to fear me, child.”

Gulping again, Spike Asked “Are you going to make me a slave or a pet or something?”

“Well... I was certainly thinking of you as my own pet.” Roseblood replied. “Someone to talk to, and do my every whim.”

“Be like them?” Asked Spike

“No. I will not make you like that. No, I want you to know the taste of fear, Spike. If you do anything I say, you will be fine, and even rewarded greatly depending on what mood I am in.” And a more darker expression appeared on her face when she said “But, if you defy me, back talk me, disagree with me, or try to even turn against me, then.... let’s just say the consequences will be severe!”

Feeling quite sick to his stomach, Spike felt more sweat running down his body. “What kind of consequences will I face?”

“That’s not really important right now.” Was all Roseblood could say to him. “But for now, what matter is that you are finally here with me.” And she side-hugged him. “Now, before you begin being on my company, we might as well have a little something to show you that I am your mistress.” She pulled out a metal chain, and wrapped it around Spike’s right ankle with a loud “clank!” Heard in the process.

“What’s with this?” Spike Asked

“A little something to make sure you do not run away, or fly away.” She sneered at him. Roseblood then attached the chain to Luna’s throne, with Spike sitting on it. “Oh, don’t look so sad.” She Said in mock-sympathy. “You should feel greatly privileged to be next to me and my new throne.

Spike couldn’t think of anything else, but try so hard to struggle and escape from this chain and cuff restraining him from escaping. He tried so hard to break free, but the chain was too strong.

“Come on now. Don’t tell me this is now what you always wanted, sweetie.”

“There’s no hope in escaping Spike. Struggling only makes you tired.” Said Starlight Glimmer. “Nopony escapes from Mistress Roseblood.” And she let out a cruel chuckle.

The baby dragon then had an idea. And tried burning the chain off of him. “Ah Ah Ah.” Roseblood sang. She used the magic from her horn to do something to poor Spike. He tried breathing fire again, but he didn’t see any flames bursting out of his mouth.

“What did you do to me?” Asked the baby dragon.

“I took away your fire breath, so you will not be able to pull any tricks on me. Oh, and to make sure you will behave next time before you try anything rational against me.”

“Just perfect!” Spike exclaimed in his head. All of a sudden, the door flew open, and it revealed to be Chrysalis and a the three lead Diamond Dogs with her as well.

“Ah, Chrysalis. What new have you bring?”

“Chrysalis?” Spike Said “What are you doing here?!”

“Helping out my new best friend of course.” The former changeling queen replied. “Well look at you, little drake. You are now a pet to one of the most powerful ponies on the planet. How funny.”

“And fitting to see how you look more like a dog than a dragon.” Said Rover before cackling.

“Ugh. I remember the you guys.” Spike Said with disdain. “What are you morons doing with this witch? What’s in it for all of you?”

“Gems of course!” Said Fido. “She brings us gems, and we happily work as her bodyguards and enforcers.”

“Fitting you morons would be with her, but I wonder for how long, for I doubt that she will handle your awful smell forever.” The mutts growled in anger and bared their sharp teeth at him menacingly.

“Who are you calling morons?!” Said Spot

“Get him, boys!” Said Rover. The three lead Diamond Dogs were about to hurt him when they Gang up on him while growling.

“No!” Roseblood Said in a booming voice. Rover, Fido, and aspot whimpered like normal dogs and knelt on their knees. “Nopony is to touch him except for me! By all the fires in hell, I will kill any one of you mangy mongrels if you try to lay a claw on him. Understood?”

“Yes, milady.” Said The three in cowardice.

"Good. Now, what news have you brought to me, Chrysalis?"

"It turns out Thorax and the changelings are preparing for war against us. They plan to dethrone you and send you back into tartarus."

"No worries." Said Rosblood. "Those changeling vermin cannot stop me."

"They are not vermin!" Said Spike. "Thorax is a great king. Better than you ever were, Chrysalis!"

"How dare you even say that to my face?!" Chrysalis was about to beat him in anger, but she was stopped.

"Peace Chrysalis." Said Roseblood. "Poor Spike here is out of balance with this ever changing world." And she looked back at the baby dragon. "And I might not know this Thorax, Spike, but I highly doubt he and his horde of changelings will be able to stop me."

"Well, if I can't stop you." Spike said "then someone else will."

"Really?" Said Roseblood with an amused look on her face. "Such as?" She had a smug look now, and a raised eyebrow over one eye. "Hmm?"

"Discord will stop you!" Another burst of laughter was heard in the throne rolm, and Spike had a look of shame.

"That clown hardly stood a chance against me when I... brought you here."

"You just caught him be surprise." Spiek corrected. "You just threw him off balance is all."

"Clearly." The evil mare agreed. "The poor fool did not even see me coming. I am far more powerful than that foolish jester of a creature would be."

"He always was a troublemaker." Said Fluttershy. "He would always listen to me whenever I tell him not to cause mischief."

"But he will be looking for Spike, mistress." Twilight warned. "Who knows what he will do when he tries to attack you again?"

"You need not worry about Discord." Said Roseblood. "That chaotic fool can try and dethrone me, but with you, and every other pony on my side, he will never be able to stop us."

"Quite right." Said Celestia with an evil chuckle. "Me and my sister have turned him to stone before."

"And we can easily do it again." Luna added.

"Not without the elements of harmony." Spike said.

"I am way ahead of you, sweetie. I have the power alone to turn him back into stone if he tries to attack us."

"I forgot to mention that all the ponies in Las Pegasus are now under your influence, my bee friend." Said Chrysalis. "Only a matter of time before the mist spreads to Vanhoover or Manehattan. Haha! The poor fools will never know what will hit them."

Smiling wickedly again, Eoaeblood then said "excellent. My plan is going splendidly as I have predicted." She looked at Spike yet again. "Are you hearing this, little one?"

"Y-yes." Spike muttered. "I am hearing this loud and clear. "He remembered the allies and friends that he, Zecora, and Discord have gathered to fight against Roseblood and her newfound "allies" on her side.

He hoped that his friends back at the cave are planning a way to set him free.

"Now, you must be hungry. Shining!" The prince then promptly stepped forward to obediently await orders from his new queen.

"Yes, your majesty?"

"Bring my new pet a bowl full of gems. Now!"

"Right away." And he rushed into the kitchen.

"He will fetch you a bowl full of delicious gems for you to eat, and at least help you stay alive."

Spike was feeling uncertain about this and sat on Luna's throne. After a minute, Shining run back and sat the bowl of gems next to him on the throne. "Enjoy, little buddy." He said sinisterly.

The baby dragon slowly took a small emerald and took a bite of it, and it surprisingly tasted good and then dug into the bowl. The food bowl was the kind that dogs would eat out of like he was actually a pet to Roseblood. Of course. He knew not to get too comfortable, for Spike had a feeling that Roseblood will only have him until she decides to discard him as useless and kill him in the end.

"Do enjoy it, for you are mine now." Said Roseblood. Then she gave out another evil laugh, making Spike uneasy again.
