You and Spike moved Pinkies throne seat and placed next to the other Element wilders on the hill. After It was done you and Spike just stood on top of the hill looking at Pinkies Throne, Spike Put a claw on your back. "Once this is all over, we'll bring Pinkie here." Spike Smiled warmly.

"Yeah she would of liked that." You admit sighing sadly.

"Would you like some time alone?" Spike asks

"No its okay we better be getting back." You answer wiping the tears away.

"Are you sure? There's no rush right now we're waiting for the others to arrive." Spike asks making sure he was okay.

"Yeah, actually I might go home for a bit, I've kind of missed it." You tell Spike before trotting off home in the night.

"Ok, well I'll come get you when the others come back!" Spike shouts making you look back and nod to confirm you heard him.

Spike made his way back to the castle it had stopped snowing for the time being but it was still very cold Spike kept breathing fire to keep him warm also help him see in the night. Spike entered the castle and made his way into the throne room. Twilight, Nightfall, Applebloom and Adagio had taken down Discords throne and placed Princess Agile's throne back in its place. "Thank you."

"Spike! Your back, is Anon still with you?" Twilight asks sounding very happy.

"No he wanted to go home for a bit, I think Pinkie got him down a bit." Spike Smiled sadly.

"Maybe ah should go cheer him up?" Applebloom suggested.

"Do know what, that wouldn't be such a bad idea. I think he needs." Applebloom left the castle and headed to Sugarcube Corner.

"So what are you going to do?" Nightfall asks sounding sarcastic but Spike couldn't prove anything.

"Im going to go train outside." Spike answers about to leave until Adagio Spoke up.

"Mind if I come with? I feel out of practice?"

Spike thought about it for a second, before accepting. "Sure, I could do with company." Both Spike and Adagio left to train for the battle ahead, leaving Twilight and nightfall behind.

Twilight frowned as she began to feel uneasy, Nightfall noticed this. "Mum, what's wrong?"

"I don't know? Something doesn't feel right?" Twilight answers feeling unsure of her self.

"What doesn't feel right?" Nightfall asks feeling confused.

"I think?"

"What is it?"

"I don't think we'll all gonna make it through this." Twilight told Nightfall in the coldest tone.

Nightfall was taken a back by this dark reply, but shook it off and held his mum tightly. "Its just nerves talking its gonna be fine, I promise." Twilight wasn't convinced but the hug helped relax her.

The darkness of the night made it hard for you to see so you preformed a light Spell to help you see. It wasn't long until you reached Sugarcube Corner, it was the blandest you had ever seen it. The chocolate and strawberry roof had been replaced with a boring plan hay roof, the candles for the chimney had been replaced with a normal chimney. Anything had been replaced, the inside of the shop was the same but now completely bare and bland. You sat down at one of the tables and started to cry and sob as all your emotions came flooding out. "I promise Pinkie I will rebuild what you worked so hard for. I Pinkie Promise."

You lift your head up as you started to reminisce moments of You, Pinkie and Shindig, you could almost see them memories acted out in front of you. you remembered selling cakes and Cookies to the ponies, while Pinkie baked sweet treats and young Shindig sat on the counter smiling brightly. A knock at the door brought you out of your day dream with a sad sigh you got up and opened the. Applebloom greeted with you with a warm smile making you feel slightly better.

"Hiya, Spike said ya feelin down and ah wanted to come cheer you up." You didn't say a word you just let Applebloom talk. "I know what its like. What you'll feelin right now , I've been where you've are now. Before this all happened ah used to visit Sweetie Belle every Sunday night in Ponyville's cemetery and now... once this is all done. Ah have to burry Rosie right next to her two mama's. So trust me ah know how ya feel, please don't push me away Anon." Applebloom looked at you with the sweetest smile, that just lifted you up.

"Bloomy I would never push you away, I love you so very much." You slowly lean in and Place your lips on Applebloom's and slowly yet passionately. A cold blast of wind pulled you and Applebloom out of the kiss making you both shiver feeling cold. "Come on lets go into the front room its up stairs."

You lock the door behind Applebloom and follow up after her. All of the lights in the building didn't work so when you got to the front room you lit up the fire place using your magic. You and Applebloom lay there by the light of the fire place a top of a soft blanket. Neither of you said anything you just layed there quietly enjoying each others company. It wasn't until you had an idea pop into your head that you just had to get out there or it would just eat away at you.

"Applebloom?" You call out unsure if she fell a sleep.

"Mmm." Applebloom answers let you know she was awake.

"I had an idea and its just a suggestion. You can always say no I am not forcing this at all remember that." You tell Applebloom making sure that you sound clear.

Applebloom sat up worried by what you had to say. "Ah understand Anon, what's the idea?"

"I love you so much and I want to be with you more so... I was wondering" You mutter something that Applebloom couldn't hear.

"Im sorry what was that?" Applebloom asks unable to hear you.

You mutter again slightly louder but not enough to understand your saying.

"Once more, ah still didn't get that."

You sigh in defeat and hoped she didn't kill for you were about to say. "I thought since I didn't want to be alone and I would miss you a lot. Maybe I could come live with you." You answer through gritted teeth.

"Well why didn't ya say so. I would love it if you moved in with me." Applebloom replied over joyed hugging you tightly.

"Great! But you know im still gonna work here, I'll help out as much as I can around the farm, I promise." You tell hugging tightly back.

Applebloom pulled out of the hug to talk to you face to face. "Ah knew that and I know you'll help as much as you can. Im just excited for you to be living with me."

"I love you Applebloom."

"I love ya too Anon." Applebloom pulled you in close kissing you lovingly, before going back to snuggling down next to you by the warmth of the fire.

Adagio lunched her self at Spike her with her hind leg raised about Kick Spike in the face. That was until Spike grabbed hold of Adagio's hind leg and threw her into the ground. Adagio landed on the ground with a hearty thump luckily the snow cushioned the blow. The shock of the blow effected Adagio most of all, but it didn't stop her from kicking out hitting Spikes leg, unfortunately it didn't hurt him.

Spike stood over Adagio and crossed his arms "Give up?" Spike Smirked feeling cocky.

"No, never!" Adagio sprigged up onto four legs before swing her front hoof, trying to hit Spike.

Spike blocked her hoof with his metal claw. "You'll have to try harder then that."

Adagio instantly pulled her hoof away in pain. "Fine, I give up!" Spike Smiled feeling Strong.

Adagio and Spike had been training for long time now preparing for the battle ahead. They sat down on the bench next to the castle Spike was silent and Adagio had Questions for the drake.

"So how long has this battle gone on for?"

"Since I was a, well what you would call young teen." Spike sighed.

"Really that long?" Adagio asked in surprise.

"Yeah well just after me and my wife had decided to be Drake and Marefriends, I find out celestia's was dead and after that my train began. I found out I was a dragon who could do magic just like an Alicorn. Then I found out my Marefriend was pregnant, to which I was over joyed with and soon I fought King Sombra and Killed him. After that Life was normal, I was living with my wife and child until ponies were getting murdered left right and centre. I soon find out it was one of my best friends, she had been corrupted by Dark magic and she had fallen so far into the rabbit hole, that I had to kill her." Spike sighed again feeling low.

"Wow what else has happened." Adagio asks intrigued.

"Well that was it really, I found out that the Master Nightmare had been behind it all and now I just have to Kill him to end this madness." Spike said in a determined tone.

"You gone through a lot. Its impressive if I do say so my self." Adagio looked up at the night sky.

"Heh, thanks I guess." Spike stretched out feeling tired.

"You should write it down, I bet it would make an excellent story for ponies to read." Adagio suggested.

"Maybe I will cos, Can I tell you a secrete?" Spike asks while looking around making sure no pony was about.

"Yeah, I wont tell no pony."

"Well once this war is done im stepping down from being king." Spike admitted.

"Really, why?" Adagio was surprised by the news.

"Well if my theory is correct and scoots is not only alive but also cured of her sickness. Then I can finally have the life I've always wanted with my wife and I can finally relax." Spike smiled as he pictured in his mind.

"I understand that. I guess its-" Adagio was interrupted by Spike who burped up a scroll.

Spike opened the scroll and read it. "Its Twilight she wants us back in the Castle."

Adagio got up off then bench "Lets go." Adagio trotted back to the castle with Spike walking next to her.

Spike and Adagio opened the doors to the throne room finding all three teams back from their quests. Spike eyed every in pony in the room, making sure everypony was here that no pony didn't make it back. Spikes Face lit up when he saw Cadence hugging Twilight he made his way over Smiling.

Cadence Looked to over to the side of Seeing a very happy Spike making Cadence Smile giving the drake a cuddle "Its good to See you your still the same."

"Heh, well most of me" Spike laughed to him self.

This made cadence pull out of the hug looking at Spike weirdly "What do you mean?" Spike Showed Cadence his metal arm. "how did this happen?"

"Its a long Story but I've got to go maybe Twilight will tell you." Spike answered, then continued to walk over by the door in the before talking aloud to every pony "Well Done everypony! We only have Canterlot left. Now I have to go get Anon and Applebloom, take this time to

breath and relax." Spike looked to Adagio. "Wanna come with me?"

Adagio looked away from Spike to her friends then back to Spike. "I would love to, but I have some business to take care of." Adagio faked an angry glare at her friends making them gulp in fear.

"If you insist, I guess ill go alone." Spike Shrugged, that was until Blazing spoke up.

"Wait! dad, can I come with you? I have something to Show you." Blazing told Spike sounding hopeful.

"Yeah I don't see why not, lets go." Spike Was about to leave but was held back by Blazing.

"Hold on dad, can Thorax come with us? I need him to show you, what I want to show you." Spike was intrigued by his son.

"Yeah as long as we can get going." Blaze galloped over to Thorax, It reminded Spike of when he use to take his son to school. Blazing soon came back with Thorax.

"Can we go now?" Spike asks leading to the pair nodding their heads agreeing. "Good, come on then." Spike, Blazing and Thorax left to go bring You and Applebloom back.

Sonata and Aria stood next to each other as nerves of fear hit the pit of their stomach. Adagio made her way over with the grumpiest face she had ever worn. Aria knew that Adagio had made up her mind up just by the sight of her and it wasn't looking good.

"So... have you... come to an answer?" Sonata asks trying not to sound nervous, though she was soon comforted by the warm hoof of her Marefriend.

Adagio noticed this. "Yes I have. And I cant believe im even in this situation with my two friends!" Adagio's tone was harsh and fierce, making Sonata wince. "I would never believed my two friends could be like this with each other!" Aria could see that Sonata was on the verge of tears and she wasn't having any of it. "For that reason I have decided my answer is.-"

"Let me stop you right there." Aria cut off her sister before she could say anymore. " I don't care what you think! ! I love sonata with all of my heart and I can look after all by myself, we don't need you anymore! We are gonna move into Ponyville, and we'll get jobs and live a happy life together, if you wanna be apart of it then great! If not then it makes no difference. its your choice." Aria pulled Sonata in close for a cuddle waiting for Adagio reply. soon all that could be heard was Adagio's laughter that only made Aria angrier. "What so funny?"

"Well I didn't know my acting was that good." Adagio chuckled to her self.

"Huh?" Sonata and Aria replied confused by their friend.

"Before I was so rudely interrupted I was going to say I know you wouldn't lie to me. And I couldn't be happier for the pair of you. Its odd I will say that and less kissing around me the better, But that's all I would ask for." Adagio answered.

Aria stood there in shock while Sonata leapt at Adagio knocking both of them to the floor while hugging her tightly. "Oh Adagio! Thank you, thank you, thank you so much!"

"Your.... wel-come... cant.. breath!" Aria pulled her girlfriend off of their friend, letting Adagio get up and breath in relief. "Thank you. Aria"

"Ooops sorry." Sonata blushed but calmed when Aria gave her a kind smile before looking towards Adagio.

"Thank you Adagio." Aria wasn't one to show emotion but on this one occasion she aloud it. Aria hugged Adagio lightly but soon continued to cry "Really Thank you!" Aria sobbed.

"I care both and we're all that we have left and we must stick together" Adagio whispered.

"We know." Soon Sonata was brought into the hug and the three Friends stood there and cuddle feeling so happy.

Spike, Blazing walk down the dark path now lit by the flame in Spikes claw. The snow had picked up again making them move a little quicker then normal.

"So what was it you wanted to show me?" Spike asks making Blazing stop.

"Right." Blazing looked over to Thorax. "Hold me down with your magic."

"Why? No pony can break through the magic of a changeling." Thorax and Spike looked at Blazing confused.

"Just do it." Blazing rolled his eyes.

"Alright." Thorax threw him to the ground and held him there."

"Watch this." Blazing lit up his horn pushing Thorax's magic back as stood up and threw Thorax to the ground as he did to him.

Spike watched in awe as his son by past Changeling magic. "How did you do that?"

"Its the other side of my Special talent!" Blazing wore the proudest smile in his life.

"Wow, its really impressive son. im very proud of you." Spike wrapped a claw around Blazing and ruffled his mane like when he was younger.

"Thanks dad, but that's not all." Blazing pulled out of his dads grip.

Spike gave his son an intrigued look. "Oh yeah? well what else can you do?"

"I have full control over Dark Magic." Blazing proclaimed.

Spike frowned at his son. "Be careful. You may think you have full control and that's when it takes you over and you crave more power. Promise me you'll wont use Dark magic as much." Spike gave his son the most serious look he had ever given him.

"I promise" Blazing lied he had all of these abilities and he plans of experiment with them after the defeat of Master Nightmare.

"Good Now lets get going." Spike turned back in the direction of the Sugarcube Corner. Along the way Spike Pulled Thorax out of the snow so he trot with them to get Anon and Applebloom.

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

Spike entered the castle and told you, Applebloom, thorax and Blazing to join the others in the mane throne room. Spike entered Agile's office and wrote a letter to Ember, letting her know to gather the Dragon troops and move out that they'll meet him outside the city of Canterlot. After sending the scroll Spike entered the Throne Room making everypony go quite, Spike didn't say anything and walked up the steps to Agile's throne. Spike didn't sit down on the throne instead he stood on the top step and looked out at his friends and family.

Spike cleared his throat before talking. "We have all come so far in this war and even some of us have lost somethings that cant be replaced. But you have all done so, so well in freeing the most of Equestria, you have all fought hard and I thank you for that. We have only one city left and as you know its the most dangerous city and maybe just maybe some of us wont make it through this. But that's okay we Will bring Master Nightmare down and we will free the rest of Equestria. Now remember we are playing on his turf not ours, stay awake and alert. you never know what he has planed, but what he doesn't know is that we have a few tricks of own and we'll show him who is the Real King of Equestria is." When Spike's Speech ended everypony and drake including yourself bowed in front of Spike. "Now lets go get this Arsehole" Spike smiled making everypony clap in joy as Spike stepped down from the stairs.

Spike made his over to Twilight. "How was that for a speech?"

Twilight Smiled and brushed her hoof over Spike cheek. "Perfect."

"Yeah who knew you could do a speech like that." Cadence smiled

"You missed his last one, very inspirational

Soon everypony gathered in to the groups that they arrived here in. And each group teleported out side Canterlot. Everypony feared what was to come except Spike his mind was on Scootaloo and Defeating Master Nightmare but he didn't fear him. Master Nightmare angered him and Spike was going to use that anger as fuel in battle.
