Flurry heart had teleported the group outside the Crystal Empire but miss judged the distance teleport far from the out skirts of the Empire. The snow storm made it impossible for them to see, so they made their way into a cave first before doing anything. Thorax was using Spikes form so luckily he was able to start a fire, helping every pony to see and warm up.

"Bucking hell its cold out here." Blazing stated as he got closer to the fire trying to warm up.

"Yeah sorry about that I should of warned you about it." Flurry apologises standing next to Diamond also trying to warm up.

"I don't know what your complaining about bro, I feel fine?" Agile questioned her brother.

"Well you must take after mum more." Blazing explained.

"Ah agree with Blazing its freezin' here." Apple Charm added.

"I don't know its worse in the human world for realizes." Sonata argued.

One of the five large Dragons step for looking bored. "As much as I 'love' hearing a about how cold your are what's our next move Spike?"
Thorax took a while for him to realize the Dragon was talking to him. "....Oh yeah me. right well I think the best is if draw king Sombra out of the castle. Then Flurry heart and Blazing can go in and find Cadence and the Crystal Heart, it'll save everypony. While they are inside and we are fighting, Sonata will sing to clear the minds of the brain washed ponies by Sombra."

"Sound's good to me." Blazing answers while others smile and nod.

"Its quite a good idea. for a pony that is." One of the other Dragon's spat.

"Thanks... I think. Any way remember don't hurt the ponies, hurt the Changelings also don't forget we cant kill Sombra all we need is to get him out of the Empire. Got it!" Thorax reminded everypony.

"Got it!" Every Pony and Dragon replied.

"Then lets move out!" Thorax ordered in strong tone. "Flurry, you lead the way."

"Yes Spike" Flurry Heart smiled.

The group left the cave and entered the cold once more with Flurry leading using a very powerful magic spell that helped her see in the storm. Half an hour had past before they reached they reached the wall of the Crystal Empire. The wall run right around the Crystal Empire keeping any intruders out, it was as high as the tallest building in Manehattan with one door way letting in supplies or giving them out. King Sombra had made the Crystal Empire into his perfect vision, the sky is dark red and the building's are no longer colourful but yet gray and gloomy. King Sombra had forced The citizens into his army and made to wear his amour, while the ponies who are too young or old are locked into chains and forced to do his bidding. King Sombra Had is own army of Changelings, a gift from The Master him self to make sure King Sombra had enough to be 'undefeatable'.

"Right The Dragon's and I Burst through the doors followed by Apple Charm and Agile. While that happens, Sonata you will make your way to the top of this wall and sing your heart out braking King Sombra's Spell over the Chrystal Empire. Flurry Heart you and Blazing will enter the castle, find and rescue Cadence. Good luck everypony!"

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Thorax disguised as Spike stood at doors of the wall with the five large Dragon's behind him, Agile and Apple charm also stood behind ready to take The Crystal Empire back. Thorax looked back at the before looking ahead "Lets do this!" Thorax and The Five Dragon's breath fire on the doors making the hinges weak enough to knock the doors down with their bare claws. As soon as the doors hit the ground, the alarm bell's start to sound off alerting the whole of the Crystal Empire to their presences, making every Brainwashed Pony and Changeling rush to the entrance to stop the intruders. "Just as planed." Thorax grinned as prepped himself to get in to character of his old friend.

King Sombra galloped to the balcony as heard the alarm's. Sombra was delighted to see Spike, group of Dragon's and two Ponies behind him. Sombra had been ordered too report back to the Master. But this was a chance for Sombra to redeem him self after the last encounter with the Drake and it's humiliating defeat, it was chance to make the name Sombra feared once again. So King Sombra left the castle with out second thought and made his towards the entrance of the wall with his two guards.

"KING SPIKE!" Thorax looks straight head, the Changelings and King Sombra's Army move out of the way revealing King Sombra. "Now this is a familiar situation. Do you remember Spike all those year's ago, I had a grand Army ready to take Canterlot and stopped me, well its not
going to happen this time!"

"Same situation, same ending. You lose!" Thorax got into a fighting stance.

King Sombra did the same as Thorax and got into his fighting stance "Oh I don't think so." As soon Sombra had said those exact words his army began to attack.

Thorax ran forward knocking a pony over and used him to leap into the air so he could strike a blow to Sombra knocking him back, giving Thorax enough time to look Back. "Sonata its time you started to sing!"

Sonata flew to the top of the wall over looking the battle and cleared her voice and thought of Aria before she began to sing through the hard falling snow.

"Free your minds.
Clear your souls.
Let your body be yours again.

We aren't slaves anymore, just to do your bidding.
Taking our lives back, we are free again.
Seeing through the darkness, Seeing through the lies.
We aren't sheep just to be herded.

free your minds
Clear your souls.
Let your body be yours again.

Loving life, loving freedom.
Here to show you we are strong and in control.
Our time is precious to us you aren't having a drop of it.
You have lost and we are free.
now be gone because you are done."

Once Sonata had stopped singing her gem around her neck glowed bright red before producing all the colours of the Rainbow over the entirety of The Crystal Empire. One by one the ponies removed the helmets and Armour that King Sombra had forced them into. The Ponies of Crystal Empire had their minds back and they wanted their homes back as well.

"NO!!!" King Sombra shouted as he watched his army fall apart in front of him. "What have you done Drake?"

"I told you, Same situation, same ending. You lose. Did you really think I came here with out a plan." Thorax did his best to copy Spike's signature smirk.

Sombra growled out of he refused to give up, to be beating again. "Changeling's Attack!" Sonata jumped down off of the wall to help in the fight.

As the battle went on Flurry heart and Blazing Diamond took this as their chance to make their move. They flew over to the opposite side of the Empire and made their way towards the castle. On the way they fighting off the odd Changeling that was left to guard the castle. Once having reached their destination they carefully entered the castle unsure how many Changelings were left inside. It had completely changed on the inside, the wall's were black and war amour decorated the walls. Flurry Heart, saw that her home had changed so much and it disturbed her to see it this way.

"Im so glad to be out of the snow... so Blazing how are you?" Flurry Heart ask while she looks around the castle for any sign of her mum or any Changeling about to sneakily attack.

"Really now?" Blazing questions as does the same as Flurry.

"Im nervous. Talking helps." Flurry answers as they trot further down the corridor together.

"Im fine how are you?" Blazing answers with a sigh.

"Nervous, thanks for asking. ...So what is it you do. ...You know back home. ...Before all this happened?" Flurry nervously stuttered.

"If you must know I design Suits and Dresses for Ponies, its half of my Special talent." Blazing answers then waited to be ridiculed, he always was when ever he told Ponies about his work.

"Cool what is the other half?" Flurry Heart asks curiously.

Blazing was shocked, Flurry didn't even make one joke or snarky comment which led to a late reply. "....oh, um, well that's the thing I don't know." Diamond looked at his flank making Flurry do the same "I still don't know what half of my Cutie mark means." Blazing told Flurry feeling disheartened.

"Well im sure you'll find out soon." Flurry Heart reassured with a warm smile.

"Yeah that's what every-." Flurry Heart interrupted putting her hoof over his muzzle

"Shhh. I heard something." Flurry Heart whispered looking terrified.

They both turn around slowly, only to be jumped on my six Changeling's. Three Changeling's held Flurry down while the other three held Blazing down.

Flurry struggled and tried to use her magic but found that her horn wouldn't work. "Blazing my magic it wont work!" Flurry Heart started to freak out which caused her to struggle even more.

"Let me try!" Blazing's horn began to light up.

"Trust me it wont work." Suddenly Blazing's magic matched the colour of a changeling and a burst of light sent the six Changeling flying into a wall Knocking five of them out while one of the changeling's land on their hooves.

As soon as the changeling's were off Of Blazing and Flurry they got up straight away. "How did you do that?!" Flurry heart looked at Diamond Blaze in complete shock.

"Yessss jusst how did you do that! We blocked your magic, It was impossible to brake!" The Changeling hissed before charging at Blazing.

Blazing grabbed hold of the Changeling with his magic and through him across the other side of hallway. "I think I know what the other half of my Cutie mark means." Blazing smirks gleefully.

"What is it?" Flurry asks curiously.

"Well its just a theory I need to test out. I don't want to say in case im wrong. anyway lets go find Cadence." With that Blazing and Flurry continued their search into the castle.

They searched through the entirety of the Castle and didn't find a sign of Cadence only more Changelings which Blazing took care of. They had reached the cellar of the castle where they kept the finest and oldest wine in the Crystal Empire. They doubt that Cadence would be down here but they wouldn't feel right if they didn't cheek.

"I didn't know you had a Cellar?" Blazing questioned as his eyes searched the room.

"We didn't, this is King Sombra's doing." Flurry frowns, she didn't like the idea that home had been changed by that monster.

"Well you gotta hand it to him he's good at home Design." Blazing admitted making Flurry glare at him. "Or, you know. You don't have to admit it."

"Just search the Cellar, we gotta find my mum." Flurry told him as fear and anxiety eat away at her. Flurry hadn't seen a sign of her Mum, she had already lost her dad and she didn't want to lose her mum.

"We'll find her I promise you." Blazing look flurry in the giving her a warm comforting Smile.

The Cellar was dark and cold so Blazing lit each torch with his breath. The Cellar was massive it fitted thousands and thousands of wine bottles. Flurry and Blazing decided to spit up and search the Cellar that way so they could cover more ground. For a while it was just stacks and Stacks of Wine Bottles until Blazing came across a door frame with no door.

"Ah Flurry I found Something!" Blazing shouted loud enough so Flurry could hear.

"What is it?" Flurry saw the door frame and instantly knew what it was . "I Know what this is when I was a foal Twilight would tell me the story of how Spike saved the Crystal Empire. and In it Twilight came across a door way just like this, you see that crystal at the top?" Blazing nodded reply. "Well you need to aim Dark magic at the Crystal and it will open."

"Great, lets do it"

"The only problem is I cant do Dark magic, I refuse to im afraid it will change me and take me down a dark path I don't want to go." Flurry Explained sighing sadly.

"Let me try, Its a part of my theory with my Cutie Mark." Flurry Heart Stepped aside letting Blazing stand in front of it.

Blazing closed his eyes and focused on his magic, he pushed all his negative emotions; anger, sadness and hatred into his magic. His horn began to glow black and when Blazing opened his eyes they were blood red. Dark magic burst from his horn into the crystal, opening the door. Once it was over the magic faded away and shook his head making his red eyes disappeared back to his normal eye colour.

"Blazing how did you do that?" Flurry asked out of fear of him yet also worry for his safety.

"Im fine, because I now know what my Special talents are. look the door's open lets go find your mum." Blazing entered the door way with Flurry not far behind him. The Room was Small but inside were ten Changelings guarding a cocoon that was keeping Cadence trapped.

"Let my mum go!" Before they The Changelings could do anything Flurry shot and kill and everyone of them with her magic.

Blazing stood there astounded as he couldn't believed what he had watched flurry do, but the pile of bodies were a constant reminder of the truth. He soon shook it off and got back to the case at hoof and made his way to the cocoon.

"So how do we get her out?" Flurry asks eager to get her mum back.

"I think we just rip it open." Blazing shoved his hoof into the cocoon ripping the shell apart feeling the cold wet goo inside. Flurry instantly joined Blazing and the teared cocoon apart until Cadence fell out along with the Crystal heart.

"Mum!" Cadenced muffled something that Flurry couldn't hear. "Im sorry mum, what did you say? I cant hear you."

"I.... Said... Get out of the way!" Flurry and Blazing did just that allowing Cadence a chance to shoot the Changeling behind them.

"Im so Glad your back? I thought I lost you" Flurry nuzzled her mother lovingly.

"Its okay im fine and I would never leave you alone, not ever. But now we must free the Empire." Cadence told the pair in front of her.

Blazing picked up the Crystal Heart "Thorax's already fighting Sombra outside. All we need to do is get this heart to the bottom of this castle and buck Sombra all the way back to the Master with tail between his leg between his leg's."

"You remind me so much of your father. Lets go." Cadence led Flurry and Blazing outside where the Crystal Heart should be placed.

"Put the heart in the Centre and all evil will be thrown out of the Crystal Empire." Cadence explained.

"Well here goes nothing." Blazing Placed the heart in its place between the two points underneath the castle and began to rumble and shine brightly.

Over by the wall where the battle continued, king Sombra Stopped fighting as he felt a rumble beneath the snow on the ground, King Sombra looked back at the castle. "It cant be, how?"

Thorax took this chance and lunched him self at Sombra, kicking him in the face making him skid across the snow. "I feel it too. While you were so busy with this little fight ours, my team had worked its way into your castle free Cadence and the Crystal Heart. You Lose!"

Sombra got back up and Galloped towards the castle in hopes of stopping the Crystal Heart. Fortunately he didn't get any where near castle as bright light pushed King Sombra Back along with the changelings finally freeing the Crystal Empire once more. Thorax sat on the ground where he was and sighed in relief letting the snow fall around him, thorax was just glad that this battle was over. "One down Four to go."

Agile, Apple Charm and Sonata saw thorax on the ground and rushed to him "Are you okay?" They ask in unison.

"yeah im fine, I was just resting. How about you two love birds, how are you?" Thorax ask getting up.

"We're fine no harm done, but you should of should of seen Apple Charm she took out row of Changelings all by her self. It was incredible." Agile boasted with big grin like she was a little filly.

"Me! What about you. Ya took out ten ponies out with ya fancy Sword skills. Now that was amazing." Apple Charm argued smiling brightly.

"That's good what about you Sonata are you Okay?" Thorax asks while Apple Charm and Agile drool over each other.

"Im fine but they are the worst for realizes." Sonata smiled.

"Well that I can agree on, but now we really should meet up with others." Apple Charm, Agile and Sonata nodded in agreement and followed Thorax back to the castle.

seeing her brother alive she ran over to him and hugged him tightly. "Im so glad your alive."

"Agile we have at least four battle more to do, are you going to do this every time?" Blazing asks his Sister in a slightly mocking tone.

"Yes." Agile answered bluntly.

"Hey, I got something to tell you." Blazing told Agile with a huge smile.

"what is it?" Blazing continued to tell Agile all about what happened inside the castle and what the other half of his Special talent is. "We have to tell dad when we see him."

"I know he's going to be so impressed with me." Blazing smiled with pride.

Thorax headed over to Princess Cadence to talk with her. "Cadence are you okay?"

"Yes Thorax im fine and Blazing told me everything." Cadence answers smiling.

"So will you help?" Thorax ask hopeful.

"Of course, im not letting Spike go through this without me. What city is next?" Cadence asks eager to get going.

"Cloudsdale."

"Then lets go. Faster we do this, the Quicker Equestria safe."

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

king Sombra ran back to Canterlot with what was left of his own Changeling army. He was a shamed, Sombra had beaten not once but twice now by Spike. The worst thing was the humiliation of going back to Master Nightmare and telling he failed, the only comfort was that he knew he wouldn't be killed for his mistake since the master need them all alive.

Sombra swallowed hard before opening the doors to throne room, the master sat on his throne shouting angrily at Lord. "YOU ARE PATHETIC! Maybe I should of-." Master Nightmare stop shouting seeing King Sombra at the doors of the room. "Speak of the colt, I was just going to send for you Sombra."

"My Master?" Sombra looks at the Master confused unsure if he knew about the previous events that have just happened.

"I need you and your army to take Manehattan back and capture Spike bringing him here, you must succeed where Tirek failed. and as a reward you can add Manehattan to your Empire." Master Nightmare ordered as Tirex looked at sombra with pure hate.

"I cant my Master." Sombra answered.

"And why not?" Anger clear in the Masters voice, he was not in the mood to be messed around with.

"My Empire has fallen. Spike and a small group freed Cadence and Crystal Heart banishing me and the changelings from the Crystal Empire." Sombra answered calmly

"And let me guess a siren was with them who could brake through your mind control spell, Sombra?" The master growled.

"Yes Master."

The Master sat on his thrown tried to work out how Spike was taking each city, but he couldn't find answer; he was stomped. "So how is Spike doing all this?" Sombra asks looking to the Master for answers.

"I don't know, but what I do know is when-" King Sombra was interrupted as Queen Chrysalis burst throw the doors of the Throne room.

"THE ELEMENTS OF HARMONY ARE BACK!"

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Earlier in Los Pegasus.

Spike and his friends had arrived in Los Pegasus, they hid in an abandoned shop while Spike left to do recon they waited make to the next move. They just freed the ponies in Baltimare from a Changeling General, they one of the dragons behind to make sure Baltimare was protected. But now they were up against the Queen of Changeling's and Spike was nervous. While doing recon Spike had found Queen Chrysalis had made main Shopping centre into her main base with thousands of Changelings inside. Since it was night the Ponies of Los Pegasus had been locked away in cells far underground, were Changelings guard twenty four seven with out break. Los Pegasus had changed immensely, the city was covered in black goo, with the underground turned into a place for the Changelings eggs to hatch Spike escaped making through the sewers back to his friends where he told them everything.

"That sound's awful" Fluttershy frowned as she thought about those poor Ponies.

"It was Fluttershy. I don't know how I can lead this what after last time." Spike frowned as thought about last time

"If you want I could lead this time?" Sunset suggested.

"No it has to be me. They have to believe Spike is leading each group otherwise it wont work." Spike argued

"It weren't bad that bad Sugar Cube." Applejack remarked talking about the last battle.

"Don't forget Darling yesterday you were only a Dog chasing Squirrels in the park. And Now your a dragon and you had your first battle leading a group of others, it was only natural to be scared and freeze up any normal person or pony would of." Rarity reassured.

"Yeah! I could never of believed you could come up a plan like that Spike it was awesome! How did you come up with a plan like that?" Rainbow ask Interested.

"It was the Original Spike that helped. He said follow your gut, Keep clam and always keep your head clear, look at the situation and don't rush into anything." Spike answered, as he spoke he felt comfort from the words that were keeping him on track.

"I have admit its are some pretty good advice, well done Spike." Sunset Smiled complemented the dog turned drake.

"Yeah pretty good... for dog." Everypony turned to give Aria a dirty look. "What it was a complement."

"Don't listen to her Spike, what's the plan this time?" Twilight asks flying up to pet Spike on the head. Even though Spike is a dragon for now, he still loved the feeling of Twilight petting him, it was reassuring.

Spike started to come up with a plan he looked at the four dragons, the elements of harmony and then Aria. And just like that it hit him. "I have a plan. its dangerous and there's a chance it wont work."

"We're with you Spike." Sunset encourage.

"Okay then, well the plan goes like this..."

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Spike and the Elements of harmony walking into the main Base of Queen Chrysalis. The whole base goes silent as every Changeling turns round to see the old king of Equestria and the once Element wilders who were know to be dead, walk into their base. No Changeling wants to move or doing anything out fear that King or Elements of Harmony would harm them.

Chrysalis began to laugh making every Changeling look back at her. "Nice try there Spike, But you have a slight problem. You have one too many Ponies for the Elements for Harmony and if remember rightly Twilight wore the tiara. This is clearly a fake and you have nothing to bargain old King."

Spike kept his cool and breathed slowly- before rolling his eyes trying to be like the original Spike. "That's what you think, Show her girls."

The Elements glowed, before a short rainbow burst happened pushing the changeling's back slightly. "How is that Possible?"

"I told you, NOW LISTEN TO ME!" Spike ordered, shouting loudly trying his best be like the other Spike. Queen Chrysalis kept quiet out of interest for what he had to say. "Now... I challenge you to a one on one. best warrior wins!"

The Queen burst into laughed once more. "I have faced princess Twilight, then her student and her pet wants to have a go. I really am scraping the bottom."

"That's ok I get it, your scared and you don't want to make fool of your self in front of your changeling army. by going up against the better warrior. I get it." Spike teased as head told him to shut up and asked him if he wanted to actually die!

Chrysalis growled as she had just been called out in front of her troops, she couldn't back out now. "Fine! What are the terms?"

"If I win you will leave Los Pegasus behind and take your Changelings with you." Spike stated as began to feel more confident.

"And if I win?" Chrysalis smiled, it wasn't a comforting smile but yet a deranged knowing smile.

"You can be the one to hand over the Old King of Equestria and the Elements of harmony over to your Master." Spike stated while stomach turned inside out at the thought.

"I see then I must accept your terms." Chrysalis stood from her throne making her way down the stairs, leaving a gap between her self and Spike. the changelings who crowed round had now backed of giving the two warriors space to fight. Spike Gave his friends a look telling the to stand back.

Chrysalis horn glowed and armour appeared around her. "Show me what your made of 'King'." They began to circle each of them waiting for the other to make a move. Soon Chrysalis got swooping in for an attack, Spike tries to doge out the way but unfortunately Chrysalis buck Spike in making hit the ground hard. "Im disappointed, I thought I was fighting the King of Equestria." The girls could on watch in horror as they saw his friend take a strong hit.

Spike rubbed his face as felt like he had been hit with a car, He soon adjusted throwing getting up. "You have seen anything yet." Spike shot a fire ball from his mouth.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

In the meantime as Spike battled Chrysalis, Aria and a Dragon made their way down to the cell's where the ponies of Los Pegasus are locked away. Around the corner of the hallway was the door to the prison block guard by to large built Changeling's.

"Its all yours dragon, I'll be waiting here. And don't hurt any of the ponies in the prisons dumbass." Aria told the dragon.

"Its Bone Crusher, and I like you, your feisty." Bone crusher smiled as he got closer to Aria

"For starters I don't care about your name and secondly I don't go for dragon also im already spoken for." Aria patted Bone Crusher on the nose making him angry, causing him to puff smoke from his nose before charging the door down killing the two guards. The sound of Bone Crusher crashing through the gates alerted the other Changelings in the prison. They all gallop up the stairs to kill the intruder only to be met with the Bone crushers fire burning the Changelings.

"Its done ugly Ponies killed!" Bone Crusher announced letting the Aria know it was safe.

"Really, that was Quick." Aria came away from the corner and entered the prison.

"Ugly Ponies were stupid. Shall I free the other ponies now?" Bone crusher asks sounding bored

"No not yet dumb, dumb. We don't know what the mind control does to them yet let me clear their minds first stupid." Aria rolled her eyes, then thought of Sonata before she began to sing.

"Save your self.
Fight back.
You must take you lives back.

Don't lay there in the darkness,
Cos you'll never, how much there is, in this fleeting world we live in.
Freedom cant be handed to you plate, oooh,
you must do be your own salvation.

Save your self.
Fight back.
You must take your lives back.

I know your afraid like you've never felt so small before.
But you don't have to stand alone, oooh,
cause as long as your alive, you can fight back to night and save your self."

Soon the ponies from the prison started to wake up from King Sombra's Spell, shouting wishing to be released from their jail. "Now you can free them." Aria told Bone Crusher.

Bone Crusher went to every Prison cell clawing the lock off, setting free the Ponies of Los Pegasus. "Your free now. Up stairs is enemy, go take your city back." Bone Crusher told them causing the ponies to head up stairs.

"We better go as well they might need us." Bone Crusher nodded in agreement and head up stairs to aid spike and elements.

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Chrysalis was cover in scratch and burn marks as Spike was out of breath from fighting. "It seems that you live up to your reputation."

"Dose... that... mean you give up." Spike ask out of breath but still smiling, impress with how well he has done.

"No! I will not be beaten by Twilights little pet!" Chrysalis growled.

"Well your not gonna like this next part!" Suddenly the roof of the mail gets ripped off revealing Three large dragons. But at the same time the Ponies from the prisons rush into the room along with Aria and Bone Crusher. "Good work you two." Spike compliments Aria and Bone Crusher. "Give up now Chrysalis." Spike demands in serious tone.

"No I cant, I WONT!" A burst of magic comes out Chrysalis horn only to be blocked by the Elements of harmony.

Sunset the other Elements users began to glow and hover in place as they used their Elements of Harmony. "You are not welcome here! You have lost and its time you left this Place!" A rainbow shot out Sunset tiara teleporting Queen Chrysalis and her Changelings back to Canterlot.

"We... we did it." Spike was in shock as they had just kick Chrysalis out of Los Pegasus.

Everypony began to cheer and celebrate as they had won against the Chrysalis, Only Spike and Aria didn't celebrate as they thought the exact same thing "That was way to easy, I don't like it."

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

The Master raged breaking everything in site he knew What Spike had done and he knew what he had planned. "Why in tartus did I bring you useless bunch of idiots back from the dead."

"We will stop him my master!" Tirex Spoke up.

"I highly doubt that since none of you seem to be able to handle the power Spike has. For that reason in general I will stick with my original you scum!" The master calmed down and Sat back on his throne "You lot including Discord when he arrives, will deal with Spikes 'friends' that includes both Princesses and you will Leave Spike to me and I promise I will have Spike bowing before me!"

"Yes, my Master." They reply in unison.

"Don't let me down again. if you do its all of us back to tartus, do I make my self clear." The Master asks

"Yes, Master" They reply in unison again.

"Good. Cos I will not let everything I have worked for fall apart in front of me."

\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Ponyville was the last city in Equestria that Spike had to deal with, well that is apart from Canterlot of course. They had dealt with Tirek and freed other the other two cities. Now Discord was all that was left standing in his way between him and the Master. Spike hoped that past ties will help win over the Draconequus, but Spike still wasn't sure if it would work. Even though Spike was from Canterlot when Twilight was just a student of Celestia, Ponyville had always felt more like home. They welcomed him and he never got any funny looks from the ponies of Ponyville.

"So how do we take Ponyville back?" You ask. The team was still in Filly Delphia and you had just freed it ten minutes ago.

"We just walk in." Spike answers bluntly.

"Is that it?" You ask surprised.

"Well he used to be a good guy when he was Alive. Me, Discord and my old pal Big Mac use to play this board game and he made it better by actually putting us in the game. So I don't really want to hurt him that much, but if he forces my hand that ."

"Makes Sense." Nightfall agrees nodding his head.

"Are we going?" Twilight asks as she, adagio and Applebloom make their way over.

"Yes, I want this done as soon as possible." Spike answers nodding.

Spike teleported into the Everfree forest just outside Fluttershy's old cottage where she use to live. they left the last dragon in Filly Delphia Spike went over then plan making sure everypony knew their roles, but adagio wasn't listening as she was lost in thought over her sisters and Spike saw this.

"Hey Adagio are you okay?" Spike ask concerned.

"No, not really." Adagio sighed.

"Everypony take five, come on Adagio lets go over here." Adagio followed Spike to a more private area of the forest. "What's wrong you've seemed distracted since we left the village."

"Well... if I tell you have to keep it to your self, you cant tell any pony." Adagio told Spike in very serious tone.

"I promise."

"You better, cos if I found out that you told any pony. I will shove a metal Spike up arse and you wont be able to sit down for weeks." Adagio threatened.

"Cross my heart, hope to fly, Stick a cupcake in my eye." Spike did the actions as he smiled missing the party pony, Pinkie Pie.

"Are you taking this seriously?" Adagio asks as her eyebrow was raised confused by the foal like response she got.

"Yes I am, please tell me what's wrong." Spike begged so he could get back to the war at claw.

Adagio sat on a tree log with Spike doing the same. "Well... just before your speech in the village, I went to go get Aria and Sonata but walked in on them and, and found them kissing and talking lovingly to each other and I found that they were dating each other." Adagio swallowed a lump in her throat, while Spike sat quietly listing. "At first I was annoyed that they would date behind back, but then they say it only happened that day and at the moment im struggling with if, they told the truth or not cos it hurts. But to add on to my problems if I didn't accept it, they said, they said they would still love me but distance them selves from me. I've already lost my entire race, my Parents, I don't want to lose my friends too." Adagio shut her eyes tightly failing to stop her self from crying.

Spike put a comforting claw on adagio's back as she cried, the pain and fear of being alone was too much for Adagio. She had always been the one who decided what was best for her friends and now they didn't need her anymore and it was hard to accept.

"Well, you know your friends better then anyone else do think they would go out to hurt you on purpose?" Spike asks

"No, I don't think they would." Adagio answers in a sad tone.

"Then there you go, you have your answer." Spike Smiled kindly.

"Thanks Spi-" Adagio was interrupted as loud screams and plea's for help.

Spike ran back over to the spot he left his friends were but they weren't there anymore, they we're gone. "Where are they?" Adagio asks worried.

"Discords got them. Damn it! Turns out he has gone back to his old ways." Spike punched a hole in a tree as he tired of hurting friends.

"Spike, What do you want to do?" Adagio asks trying to get him back on track.

"The plan doesn't change, you go free the ponies of ponyville im going to face discord by myself." Spike answers walking away towards the Friendship Castle.

"WHERE SHOULD I GO?" Adagio shouts loud enough so Spike can hear.

"TRY THE CITY HALL!" Spike shouted back.

So that is exactly where Adagio headed to and sure enough the city hall was destroyed and Replaced with a prison camp instead. The Prison was patrolled by hundreds of Changeling's Adagio had to find a way in so she could get close enough to sing so she can break the spell. "I know if can make way to the control room, I can sing through the speakers. That way everypony can hear me" Adagio thought to her self.

There was a second building lit up with next to none Changeling guards in Patrol. Adagio knew that would be the best place that the control room would be in. Adagio made her way around to the build with out being Spotted. before entering Adagio picked up a stone with her hoof and threw it hit a large rock distracting two Changeling guards, giving Adagio enough time to sneak in undetected.

Adagio followed the signs leading to the Control room. Along the way Adagio ducked, dived and hid out of the way from the Changelings. Adagio open the door slightly seeing four Changelings working inside. Fortunately the Changelings sat with their backs to the door, making it easy For adagio. She entered the room quietly and Silently took down all four of them. Adagio looked over the controls and turned all the speakers off accept for the prison, Adagio took a deep breath before singing.

Wake up! Its time to take action.
See through the darkness.
See through the fear.
It cant keep you locked up forever!

They wanna break you, wash away you soul.
Its time to stop the sickness in your mind.
I'll take pain away, awawaway!
freedom from the demons!

Wake up! Its time to take action.
See through the darkness.
See through the fear.
It cant keep you locked up forever!

Rise up, take charge, cos no ones going to do it for you.
Fight for your life, Fight for your rights.
If you just submit you'll see your self disappearing.
You gotta face your demons, face your nightmares.
Show the darkness your unstoppable.

Adagio watch on the monitors as the ponies of ponyville beg to be realised from their cells. But at the Same time a group of Changelings make their way to the Control room. Adagio search the controls until she found the override switch, she hits the button turning all the power off in the prison. Once the power was off a prison riot happened dealing with the Changelings, Giving Adagio some breathing space.

Spike stood in front of the Friend Ship castle nothing had been changed, Ponyville hadn't changed at all for that matter. Spike had gone through Ponyville dealing with what changelings were wondering about and not a door or window was out of place, very peculiar for the Draconequus. Spike entered the castle and again nothing had changed, Spike beat of each Changeling that charged at him. Spike made his way to the Map room but it was unchanged and untouched. Twilights Throne was the only chair left standing, Spike walked further into the into the room finding Pinkie's throne was left on the floor collecting dust. Spike frowned when seeing the throne on the floor. "When this is all done I'll place this throne next to the others." Spike thought to him self, but that led to another scary thought. "I hope those chairs are still there."

Spike left the Map room and continued on to the Throne room of his daughters. Spike was met by two Changeling guards which he beat up and thrown threw the doors to the Throne room. Spike followed in after, he found discord sitting on his throne which had replaced Agile's. There were four cages in front of Discords throne, each of them held his team mates.

once you saw Spike, you reassured Twilight in the cage next to you. "Its okay Spike's here."

"Spike!" Twilight called out sounding relived.

"Well please come in Spike, honestly for a king you have no manners ." Discord tutted in a joking matter.

"Discord free my friends." Spike demands in serious tone.

"I will, but answer me this. Did you kill all the Changelings in the area?" Discord asks.

"Yes." Spike answered bluntly.

"Good." Discord snapped his fingers opening the cages "I had to make it look real in enough, so the Changelings didn't report back to Star Swirl." As soon as your free, you gallop over to Applebloom and kiss her deeply before hug her tightly, while Nightfall hugged Twilight.

"Thank you Discord." Spike Smiled.

"Your welcome friend and don't Worry their graves remain untouched. And you daughters throne is right there in the corner." Spike turned around and just as he said it sat there also untouched.

"How come you didn't cause chaos?" Spike asks confused.

"I Cant and that isn't impotent now. I need you to beat me up." Discord got off his throne and stood in front of Spike, they stood there not as enemies but as old friends.

Spike knew he had do it but he didn't like it, Spike repeatedly punched discord then scratched and threw fire on him. Discord Was left bruised, cut and burnt, Spike got off the Draconequus and stepped back giving Discord some room to stand. "Time I left, and Good luck friend, I know you can beat him at his own game." And with that Discord left.

Spike felt horrible about beating Discord but he knew it had to be done. Adagio came through the doors of the Throne. "What happened? Whereas Discord?" Adagio asks.

"Its done, he's gone." Spike answered bluntly.

You trotted over to Spike and give him a pat on the arm trying to comfort him. "So Spike, what do we do now?"

"Now we wait for the others." Spike sighed.
