Notes and Revelations

It has been two days since Spike saved Ponyville. The story spread all across Equestria of how one dragon single handedly dispatched about 20 shooters without a scratch. The tale of the Assassins was pretty well known across Equestria,a bunch of extraordinary people with unique abilities saving lives and shit like that. But with the assassins fading into legend the tale became a myth,something to entertain children until now. All across Equestria people were rallying behind Spike or as he is known now Sting Drake. Graffiti popped up in places like Los Pegasus,Manehatten,and Detrot saying stuff like Long live the Assassins HAIL TO THE ASSASSINSYOU ROCK ASSASSINS and each one was accompanied by the insignia. However one certain mare was worried about the return and her name was Princess Celestia. Celestia was pacing her study when her faithful student Twilight came in accompanied by her friends.

"Any word on Spike yet?" Twilight asked.

"No. There has been no sign of him anywhere. I don't think he would come back here. He probably ran off to another country." Celestia said.

"That would be the smart thing to do." Rainbow said.

"Yes it would. It is what I would do after all." Celestia said.

"Okay then. With that we take our leave." Twilight said before turning around.

"Wait Twilight." Celestia said.

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"What's your opinion on the Assassins?" Celestia asked.

"Well one of them saved the town. They seem like good people. Why do you ask?" Twilight asked.

"Well they sort of have a bad rep." Celestia said.

"What in tarnation do you mean?" Applejack asked.

"Before me and Luna took the throne Equestria was ruled by an evil dictator. He had the ability to change his form into anything. It's unlike a changeling where they can turn into other ponies. No he could turn into dragons,changelings,breezies,parasprites,and even humans. His guard were the Assassins. Me and Luna led a rebellion against the tyrant and managed to defeat him but at the cost of many lives. The Assassins defeated offered to guard us as they made an oath to protect whoever has the crown. Me and Luna didn't trust them but we kept them but then the banishment happened. The Assassins were split on whose side to take and they argued and it slowly turned into a bloodbath. The Assassins were killing each other left and right and some even made an attempt on my life. It was after that I retired them and founded the Royal guard. However before the current leader left Canterlot he prophesied that darkness will spread the land,the castle will be stained in blood,the scaled savior will come from the sky,fire will defeat you,the clashing of swords will rock the land,and the bells will ring at The Return of the King." Celestia exclaimed.

"Do you think The Assassins are the dark power?" Pinkie asked.

"No. I think that the person you saw may be the king that the leader spoke about." Celestia said.

"Well Celestia the assassins well from what we saw of him he looked exactly like Spike." Twilight said.

"Are you saying that you think Spike could be the assassin?" Celestia asked.

"It's just really a hunch I have."

"Very well. If you indeed think that Spike could be the assassin then no doubt the people who he is closest to currently may know it is him. Rainbow,Rarity,and Applejack?" Celestia asked.

"Yes your highness?" The trio said in unison.

"You said your sister's thought Spike was innocent right?" Celestia asked.

"That is correct." Rarity said.

"And he was probably as close to them as he was you six?"

"Yes."

"Okay then. First things first,I want you six to join the assassins. Keep watch on them and see what he's up to. Relay the info to me if it really is Spike then I want to know,second keep tabs on your sisters,don't let them know they're being watched." Celestia explained.

"But Princess I don't want to interfere with Sweetie Belle's personal life." Rarity said.

"Rarity the fate of Equestria is laying on the assassin. If what you say is true and Spike is the assassin then that means he is destined to rule which also means we were wrong about him killing Fleur. We need to know ASAP! Your sisters would know if Spike was the assassin and they will probably meet with him if he was." Celestia explained.

"Alright we understand. It will be done." Rarity said.

"Good. I have nothing else left to say." Celestia said.

"With that we take our leave." Twilight said before leaving the room.

Fluttershy didn't know what to think of what happened in there. There is the possibility that Spike was the assassin which means he is destined to rule over them if that is the case. Fluttershy was worried that Spike may never forgive them if it was true. Only time will tell.

Spike was running above the rooftops. It was about 7:00 at night and most ponies were inside their houses. The ones who weren't did not see Spike as he was completely silent. Spike arrived at the center of town and jumped onto the Carousel Boutique and went straight to the top. It provided a great vantage point for Spike to look out over the town. The door to the boutique opened and Sweetie Belle walked out the door.

"Hey Rarity I'm going to Applebloom's!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Okay be safe." Rarity said.

"Don't worry about me. That dragon from a couple days ago could be in town waiting." Sweetie Belle said. She then closed the door and walked into the direction of Sweet Apple Acres,her hair blowing in the wind.

Seeing her like this makes me realise how pretty she is. Spike thought. Spike leapt from the boutique onto a nearby building and followed Sweetie Belle. She walked into the gates of Sweet Apple Acres and was greeted by Applebloom and Scootaloo.

"Got here safe I see." Scootaloo said.

"Yeah. Good thing no crazy gunman tried to rape you." Applebloom joked.

"Shut up." Sweetie Belle laughed.

"On the subject did you ever see the guy's face?" Scootaloo asked.

"What guy?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"The guy who saved your ass." Applebloom said.

"No. I didn't." Sweetie Belle said. The three girls continued their conversation about Spike while walking into the house. Spike couldn't help but laugh. He then got a crazy idea. He lept from the nearby building and ran towards their clubhouse. Spike climbed up the ladder and found a piece of paper and a pencil and wrote down his note. Spike laid the note on a nearby table and lept out the window.

The CMC were walking towards their treehouse with their sleeping stuff in hand. They were planning on sleeping there tonight. After they got their cutie marks they renovated the tree house into a nice den. They filled it with a fridge,a couple couches,a bed,a tv,and a couple game systems. It was basically what Granny Smith called it "The Sleepover Cabin" they climbed the leader and strolled in when they noticed the note. Applebloom picked up the note.

"What does it say?" Sweetie Belle asked. Applebloom then began to read aloud

We need to talk. Whoever is reading this bring the rest of the CMC with you. DO NOT TELL YOUR SISTERS ABOUT THIS! Meet me at the center of Ponyville Park at 1:00. Make sure your not followed.

A friend

"Do you think it's a trap?" Scootaloo asked.

"I don't know. I think we should go but we should bring some weapons to defend ourselves." Applebloom said.

"Like what?" Sweetie Belle asked.

"There a couple hand guns we keep under the couch. They should do." Applebloom said as she got on all fours and pulled out three hand guns from under one of the couches. One Glock 17,another one a Beretta M9,and a Sig P226.

"These will do." Scootaloo said as she was looking at her Sig.

"Well if we have to get up so early we should start sleeping now." Sweetie Belle said. The rest of the CMC agreed and they drifted off into sleep.

The CMC were at the park at 1:00 on the dot. They were standing on a bridge at the center with their hands on their guns. They were starting to think this was a prank by Diamond Tiara when a voice spoke up from above them.

"Sorry I'm late I got caught up in redecorating my new crib." The three all jumped back and pulled out their guns when they heard the voice. Of course the voice is none other than Spike.

"WOAH WOAH WOAH! Easy there. I am not going to rape you." Spike said with warmth in his voice. When they saw his face well mask really they lowered their guns.

"Oh it's you." Sweetie Belle said.

"Yes." Spike said.

"Okay guy why did you want us to come here. You here to make us a part of your guild or something." Scootaloo asked

"No. I came here because of this." Spike said as he removed his mask revealing his face.

"SPIKE?!" The CMC shouted and Spike put his finger up to his mouth.

"SHHHHH Shut the fuck up you idiots." Spike whispered sternly.

"S-Sorry. What the hell are you doing here. If they catch you then..." Sweetie Belle began before Spike put a finger up to her mouth.

"You three don't worry about me. I have a mask and people know me as the savior of Ponyville now. I highly doubt they would think that the most wanted dragon in Equestria would save the entire town." Spike said assuringly.

"Sorry. We just don't want to see you behind bars again." Applebloom said.

"Yeah me too. Well what did I miss?" Spike asked.

"Oh not much. Discord got a job,there was a monster named Wolflore whom our sisters stopped, there was a flesh eating virus for a while, and now there's-" Scootaloo began.

"Okay I get it. Shit fell apart." Spike said.

"Yeah pretty much." Sweetie Belle said.

"Also if you guys do want to join the assassins then you can." Spike said.

"We'll consider." Scootaloo said.

"Okay then. With that I take my leave." Spike said.

"Wait Spike!" Sweetie Belle said.

"Yeah?" Spike asked.

"I want to thank you for what you did earlier. It was very noble of you. And I kind of need to repay you so..." Sweetie Belle then kissed Spike on the lips. While Spike did not have expertise in the area because this was his first kiss he hoped all kisses felt as good as Sweetie Belle's. They kissed for about 15 seconds before they broke apart.

"Ohhhhh someone's in loooove." Scootaloo teased causing both Spike and Sweetie Belle to blush.

"Sh-shut up Scoots." Sweetie Belle said.

"You have not changed a bit have you?" Spike asked.

"Not one bit." Scootaloo said trying her hardest not to laugh.

"Okay whatever. I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Spike said to Sweetie Belle before kissing her on the forehead,putting on his mask,and disappearing into the shadows.
