Is all Hope Lost?

Spike could almost hardly believe that he, a baby dragon, and a personal assistant to the Princess of Friendship herself, would be able to kill a very powerful and evil mare like Roseblood like that. Could she have just let her guard down? Or was it just luck? What matters was that Roseblood had finally been defeated, and Equestria was finally saved from her evil clutches and dark magic. Outside, the sky turned from evil, blood red, to it's original, beautiful blue color, and the sun was back to it's yellow color instead of looking like a dying star in the sky.

Spike looked out the window, and he was seeing that everything was turning back to normal, for all the ponies brainwashed by Roseblood were finally free from her control and the magical shackles that kept them mentally imprisoned within their brains.

In the valley below the castle towers, the fighting stopped for a second, and after realizing there were Diamond Dogs, hostile Klugetownians, and some hostile minotaurs, there were small skirmishes to get rid of them. Most of them were killed off while some fled from Equestria's capital. All of the demons that Roseblood had conjured turned into black dust and possibly sent back to Hell from whence they came from.

It didn't take long for the rest of the enemies to fall back and escape their punishment. They ran all the way back to their homes and wouldn't be coming back any time soon. It looked like the forces of evil had lost against the side of good once again, and the Elements of Harmony turned back to normal as well, along with the princess' and Shining Armor

Flurry Heart awoken from her slumber and realized that she was no longer evil. No, she was back to her sweet, giggly, and adorable self.

Far in the distance, the Town of Ponyville was back to normal and everypony under the brainwashing spell no longer felt controlled. Big Macintosh, The Cutie Mark Crusaders, Cheerilee, Mayor Mare, and all the rest of the inhabitants of Ponyville smiled and cheered, knowing that they are no longer under Roseblood's control.

The leaders of the Diamond Dogs, Iron Will, Chrysalis, Garble, and his own companions all looked terrified, and couldn't believe they have lost like this. "What?!" Garble shouted in his disbelief. "A powerful pony killed off by a puny, baby dragon?! How is that even fucking possible!"

"Grrrr. I was about to have my thrown back!" Chrysalis exclaimed to the baby dragon in anger. "Spike! I will kill you for this!!" she was about to do exactly just that, and Iron will and Garble joined her. However, Chrysalis was bucked and knocked by by Imari's fast charge like a train had hit her, and Conok punched Iron Will in the gut to incapacitate him from doing anything else. For Garble, he was blasted away with a ray of magic from Thorax, and the same with his minotaur pals.

"Keep your filthy mitts off of our friend!" said Discord

"Now, surrender! You have lost!" Zecora added boldly.

"Give us a good reason why should we" Iron Will made a macho pose showing his large muscles before finishing: "Surrender!"

The doors to the throne room barged open and it revealed to be the princess', and the elements of harmony looking quite angry and serious. As Spike can see, much to his delight that; Celestia and Luna were no longer Daybreaker or Nightmare Moon, but back to their usual, loving, and caring selves again, and they were more than ready to attack the enemies that helped Roseblood. "Is this a good-enough reason to back down?"

Garble and his companions, along with Iron Will and his companions felt like crapping themselves at seeing these ponies about to kick their butts, and the eland king, kudu king, buffalo chief, the master of chaos, the zebra king, new Dragon Lord, queen of the changelings, and their friends close to them and ready to attack wasn't making it any better for them.

"Alright, you are all under arrest for attempted dethroning of me and my sister!" Luna ordered. "Surrender, or die!"

"Peace, Luna." said Celestia. "I think they are beaten. Now, for the diamond dogs, Garble, and Iron Will, you are hereby banished to Equestria and never allowed to come back."

"Oh this is not good." Said Rover.

"Yeah, I've never been banished from a country before." Fido added

"Pfft. Whatever." said the teenage red dragon. "Why would I want to stick around a pathetic pony play-place anyway?"

"Okay! Okay! We'll never come here and... wait, what will you do to us if we come back?" Said Iron Will

"Then, you will face thirty years in the dungeon." Luna added with a firm look on her face. By the tone of the voices of the most powerful figures, it was truly terrifying for these goons to see and hear.

"Now," said Celestia in a stern voice. "Leave, and never return." Her eyes were narrowed like she was about to kill or execute the diamond dog learers, teenage dragons and minotaurs that helped Rosemary.

"Spike!" Twilight said. "You're okay!" She flew up to him and gave him the most reassuring and family-like hug she has ever given him before in his life.

"Twilight." The baby dragon shed tears of joy seeing that Twilight was no longer under Roseblood's control. Princess Twilight had her own tears of joy. This sight was like a mother and son reuniting after being separated for so long, or a little brother and big sister seeing each other again coming to see her family on break from College. "Is it really you?"

"I'm here, Spike."

Their friends went up to them both to take a look and see if the baby dragon was okay or not. "We are so sorry," said Fluttershy, feeling like shedding tears of guilt. "I'm so sorry if I ever hurt you."

"We all are." Said Applejack.

"Guys, it's OK." Spike said quietly. "It wasn't your fault."

"Oh. I think I'm going to be sick." Said Chrysalis, feeling like throwing up.

Celestia growled and she shouted to the bad guys: "Leave now!" Just like that, the leaders of the diamond dogs, Garble and his cronies, and Iron Will and his cohorts left the run in a frantic run.

"Except for you, Chrysalis." Said Cadence

"Yes. You have tried and committed many evils for the last time." Luna added.

"Guards, arrest her for espionage and conspiracy." Celestia ordered her troops.

"Hah! Iron bars can never hold me down!" Chrysalis barked. "Catch me if you can, you filthy worms!" She used the magic from her horn to disappear and leave without a trace.

"She got away!" Said Spiral.

"Let her go." Said the princess of the sun flatly. "I think she is now beaten."

"Spike, are you sure you're okay?" Asked Starlight Glimmer.

"Yeah."

"Well, you saved the day, Spike." Said Rarity. "I am very proud of you."

"Yeah, you handled Roseblood like a boss!"

"Indeed." Said a slightly hoarse and faint voice. It was Roseblood who had one last ounce of life in herself. "Bravo Spike. You have slain the villain." Whay was were was that she had a slight smile of respect to him. "I guess I can be beaten after all."

And this time, she was dead after drawing her last breath.

"Goodbye, Roseblood." Said the baby dragon. "I hope you find peace." His vision grew a little blurry and he felt a little lightheaded all of a sudden, and collapsed on Zecora's arms.

"Spike!" Everyone shouted in horror.

"Is he dead?!" Pinkie asked.

"No. I think he is just very exhausted from all of this fighting and trauma that he experienced from Roseblood." Said Zecora. "He should really have some rest to calm his muscles.

"I would say the baby dragon has been through quite a lot." Zuberi noted.
