Chapter III. A Well Needed Vacation
Spike had just finished packing up everything that they needed for this trip. Spike took a moment to think about his life, being king, ruling Equestria. "Sure I could fight bad guys... but am I meant rule a world of ponies, I only became king because there was no one else. but now Anon can take my place, maybe. It Would be better if a pony ruled Equestria then a Dragon and My Children don't need me anymore maybe sometime after Scootaloo's passing I should go to the back to the dragon Lair?"
"DAD! AGILE'S HERE!... COME ON!" Blazing Diamond Shouts at the top of his lungs, unknowingly bring his dad out of his thoughts.
"Yeah Im coming!" Spike confirmed as he closed up his bag. Spike made his way through the corridor and down the stairs to where his family and friends where waiting.
"You okay Dad?" Blazing asks noticing his Dad looked upset.
"Yeah son im fine just got a lot on my mind right now." Spike explained as he put his claw on his son's back as they walked too the front door.
The carriage was waiting out to take Spike and his family to their destination, Scootaloo, Blazing Diamond, Agile and his wife Apple Charm was already waiting in the carriage.
Before Leaving Spike turned around to talk to you and Twilight. "Are sure you two are gonna be fine without me?"
"For the last time yes we'll be fine, You and Twilight taught me everything you knew, we're gonna be fine." you reassured Spike.
"We'll be fine Spike, you just enjoy some time with your family you deserve it, just say hi from us." Twilight smiles warmly.
Spike smiles and nods his head before and left to join his family in the carriage. A guard closes the door behind Spike before the carriage takes off being pulled into the sky by four Pegasi. You and Twilight wave Spike off as the carriage got feather and feather away until the carriage gets out view. Once Spike was gone you and Twilight decided to go back into the castle, your mind was just focused on you're wife and daughter hoping that they were having a good day.
You we're brought out the thoughts as you hear Twilight call you name. "Anon!"
"Eh, what did ya say Twi?" You ask feeling bad that you wasn't listing to Twilight.
"I said, how's Pinkie doing? I haven't seen her in a while, she is the last one of my friends left alive, I should go see her but im just so busy." Twilight said with a frown.
"Oh thanks, im not a friend am I" you turn your head in fake discussed trying to lighten the mood.
"You know what I mean." Twilight giggles.
"Yeah I know, well... she's... not great, the doctors have said she hasn't got long." You frown as you remember the moment.
"Oh... I should really visit her soon then." Twilight smiles sadly.
"I think she would like that." You smile back.
The rest of the walk went in silence as you thought about your about your past. Being human was a distant past like it never happed, like it was a dream or something you had made up once in your head. You tried to think about who you left in the human world and you couldn't, the mind went blank like it was forbidden unable to recall any loved ones. The only thing you could remember was a bus ride looking out of a window, but as soon as the bus ride stops your memory fades to white and your head starts to hurt from think about the past.
You shake you're head ignoring the pain think it was better dealt with another day, you we're about to open the door to the Throne Room until you noticed that Twilight wasn't next to you. You turn around looking for Twilight, you trot further down the corridor to look down another corridor seeing Twilight at the far end about walk up them.
You call out making her stop, your confused as to where she is going so gallop up to her finding out. "Twilight! where you are going?"
"Well I did tell but I have a feeling that you wasn't listening." Twilight smirked.
A nervous blush Appears on your face letting Twilight know. "Yeah... im sorry I... I have a lot on my mind at the moment." You admit as nervously rub the back of your mane.
"That's understandable, but to what I said earlier was that im going back to bed since I sleep in the day and im leaving you in charge of the Equestria." Twilight yawns.
"WHAT?... am I supposed to run Equestria on my on own?" You ask scared at the thought of being left alone with such a daunting task.
"Well yes... you've been taught everything about running Equestria and now its time to put what you've learned into practice, you know Spike wont be around forever it is true that dragons live for thousands of years but one day he will die and you will take his place after." Twilight informs you.
"B-But what if I mess up and I don't know what to do?" You ask ignoring what Twilight had just told you
"Then come get me, but only if you have done everything you know that you can do, okay?" You swallow the lump in your throat and nod in reply. "Good... now im going to bed, have a good first day Anon." Twilight yawns yet again before trotting up the stairs before to her bedroom.
"Sleep well Twilight." you wish her as she makes her way up.
You make your way back down the corridors to the door guarded by two male Earth Ponies of The Royal Guard. They bow as you open the door and walked past them saying. "Good Morning your majesty." You surprise them by replying the same back but you couldn't tell as they held onto their stoic face. You make your way up to Spikes throne, its made out of gold with a hole in the shape of flame bolt on the back of the chair with green emeralds imbedded into the top of the head board and arms of the chair. The Pillow was purple with a green trimming on the outside, it had Spike initials sew onto it in the left corner K.S.S, to which you thought it was King Spike Sparkle by pure guess work never knowing that Spike had a last name. You take your place as you sit down on Spike Throne you feel your cutie mark glow. You look down at your flank it now had the picture of gold crown on it. The Symbol calmed you down and gave you confidence in your self. You decided to take in your surrounding's, the pillow you sat on was so comfortable like sitting on a cloud. you take moment to enjoy the comfort of the pillow before calling Spike's loyal Assistant to see what your duties of the day were.
"Quartz Pen?" You call out ready to start the day.
Soon a yellow male unicorn with a blue mane burst through the doors galloping only to stop in the middle of the room standing to attention. "Yes your majesty!"
It still felt weird hearing people call you your majesty. "What's on the list today of things we have to do?"
"Well sir you have three thieves to deal with, then you have to meet with new mayor of Apple Looser. Then inspect the guards for the monthly inspection checking that everything is order, open a new restaurant in canterlot and last but not least attend Celestia school for gifted Unicorns to make a speech and teach a lesson for all the new Students just beginning." Quartz Pen answers.
You hang your head low as You sigh. "Its Going to be a long day."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Spike looked out the window of the carriage as the rest of his family talks and catches up on missed events and past happenings. Spike could help but think about what he thought about earlier today it filled his mind up, it filled him with worry. It wasn't until Scootaloo called his name did he stop thinking about the future, for now.
"What's wrong Spike?" Scootaloo ask with a worried tone.
"Its nothing Scoots, everything is awesome." Spike smiles puts a comforting claw on Scootaloo's hoof making her feel better, Spike then turned to his family. "So what's every pony talking about?"
"Blazing was just telling us about the time he was mistaken for mare?" Agile giggled making Blazing Diamond blush.
"What!?" Spike looks at his son in shock. "Well What the hell happened?"
"I don't know... I mean everypony else has already heard story I don't think that they will wanna hear it again." Blazing Diamond smiles thinking that he thought of a way out of making himself look like a fool again for the second time today.
"Well ah I don't know bout ya'll but I wanna I hear it again." Apple charm chimed making Blazing Diamond's face fall as everypony else agrees in unison.
"Look's like your out voted little bro, time to Spill the beans. Again." Agile love seeing her Brother in this predicament.
"Fine!" Blazing grumbled causing everypony to cheer.
As Blazing Diamonds began to tell his story again the whole family sat and listened It was the first time they had sat down as Family and had fun. This was Spikes all of hopes for this weekend that they could sit down as Family and enjoy themselves to forget about what ever was coming. After Blazing Diamond Finished his story the whole family burst into laughed making him pout.
"Oh don't pout, its funny story we're not making fun of you just the situation you were in." Scootaloo told her son making him feel a bit better.
"We're coming into land Your Majesty." one of the Guard Pegasi shouted alerting Spike that they were about Arrive at The Crystal Empire. The whole family stuck their heads out to See the Crystal Empire and the beautiful Crystal Castle Shining in Spike's sun.
Once the Carriage landed, Princess Mi Amore cadenza and Princess Flurry Heart Stepped of their castle to greet King Spike and his Family. Spike Smiled as saw Cadence and Flurry Heart he open the door and helped Scootaloo out of the carriage carefully. Once Scootaloo was out of the carriage Spike approached the two Princesses along with his family and bowed as did the Princesses.
"Thank you for letting us stay here Cadence it means a lot to me, this week is going to be so important us all." Spike explained.
"Nonsense, Spike you have done a lot for me and the Crystal Empire its the least I can do." Cadence smiled.
"But not only for what you've done for us, but for what you've done for the whole of Equestria." Flurry Heart added she looked at the group but she couldn't bring her self to look at Blazing, blushing brightly.
"Thank you but I think it would be best if we got Scootaloo inside to rest for the moment." Spike looked at Scootaloo and saw how out of breath and tired she was.
"Of course please come in, as for the rest of you please feel free to look around the Empire no where is off limits." Cadence tried to make everypony feel as welcome as she could.
"We have the Crystal Fare this coming this week plenty for you everypony to do." Flurry Heart Explained while sounding excited.
Spike, Scootaloo, The Princesses And The Pony Guards from Canterlot entered the castle bringing Scootaloo's medicine from the back of the carriages compartment. While the rest of the family decided to Explore The Crystal Empire. Agile spots a spar and drags Apple Charm to it in hopes of having a romantic Spar date leaving Blazing Diamond on his own. Annoyed Blazing continued to trot around the Crystal Empire alone, he found the Empire to be quite Beautiful as the sun shined down on the buildings making them Sparkle and Shine.
A thought suddenly came to Blazing's head, "now is the best chance to do this... I couldn't do this at home it would be embarrassing and I've had enough of that today. " So Diamond started to look for library, it wasn't long until Blazing was lost he felt like passed this house three time. Blazing was determined to find the Library alone... It took him an hour and half to ask Pony for directions.
Blazing Diamond stood in front the library, the building was massive it had two light blue crystal statues of griffins same colour as the building it self. As Blazing opened the door he couldn't believe what he was seeing rows and rows of books stairs leading up and to more rows and rows of books. Blazing felt like doing a dance of delight he wished that Aunt Twilight was with him to enjoy this. What surprised Blazing the most was he saw no ponies inside of a library this of this size.
As Blazing starts to walk through the library looking at books he stopped as heard voiced. "Can I help you at all sir?"
Blazing turned around to answer whoever it was behind him, but to his horror a Changeling stood before him. Blazing jumped back in fear causing him to fall. "Ch-ch-ch-CHANGELING!"
The Changeling rolled his eyes tired of this happening every time a new comer comes into the library. "Yes im a Changeling and im not gonna hurt you!"
The Changeling moved forward making Blazing shuffle backwards. "Don't. Touch. Me. My Dads Spike! ya know the Dragon!... The King!" Blazing warned making the Change stop.
"You mean the purple and green Dragon?" The Changeling asks excited making Blazing nod is head in conformation. "Well your Dad is my best friend."
Blazing's jaw dropped in surprise. "I-I don't believe you!"
the Changeling rolled his eyes. "Ugh fine ill prove it." The Changeling walked over to his desk open his the draw and grabbing the photo and walking back to Blazing. "Here look."
The changeling handed Blazing the photo. in the photo were a very young version of his father, and young Twilight, Starlight, Princess Cadence and Princess Flurry Heart as baby. Spike has his arm around the Changeling along with Twilight it was the happiest Blazing had seen them it almost brought him to tears.
Blazing handed the photo back feeling bad. "Im sorry." The Changeling nodded in response. He took the photo back to his desk and put it away in his draw as Blazing got back up. "What's your name?"
"Thorax." the Changeling bluntly stated.
"Im Sorry if I hurt you Thorax." Blazing apologised.
"Its fine... Was there a book you needed?" Thorax asked sounding depressed.
It was almost as if a lightbulb went off in Blazing's head, making he his cheeks blush. "Um... w-well is there I-I mean that is." Blazing took a deep breath and calm down before talking again. "DOYOUHAVEABOOKONSEXUALITIES?" Blazing shouts at the top of his lungs as quick as he could.
Silence filled the Library as Thorax was taken aback by Blazing's out burst "Um... sure follow me, ill take you there."
Blazing nods in reply and follows Thorax, you stay on the level you are not going up neither do you go down but you follow Thorax to the 12th book case along with the big S carved into the side. Thorax searches the book shelf form top to bottom muttering the name of each book before finding the book he was looking for, "aah ha found it." Thorax pulls out a purple book with a rainbow coloured binder he looks at the title before handing it over to Blazing Diamond. "here you go Blazing I hope helps you out."
Blazing grabs hold of the book using his magic. "Thanks Thorax, Im really sorry about earlier I didn't mean to hurt you its just some of the stuff that I've read about changelings is well horrible. And I've never heard of a good Changeling before." Blazing admits.
"Its okay really the world only seems to wanna focus on the bad these days. But I hope I've at least made one new friend today?" Thorax asked hopeful.
"You certainly have and if you want ill bring Spike down to come see you." Blazing suggests making Thorax smile.
"Id like that, talking about Dragons look at your wings, tail spikes and horns along with your teeth its just so amazing like some sort pony dragon hybrid your one of a kind my friend." Thorax prised him.
"Thanks but im not I have a sister she just like me." Blazing answered honestly.
"Another one really? can you breath fire?" Thorax asked just so interested about the species in front of him.
"How about I answer your questions next time with my sister then you can get a clear answer from both genders but for now Id really like to read my book?" Blazing asked trying not to be nasty.
"Of course, I've got to get back to work anyway, I look forward to seeing you again." With that Thorax went back to his desk.
Blazing made his way down the stairs to where the tables and chairs are, while carrying the book in his red magic. Blazing looks around the bottom floor and still there was no one about at all he couldn't believe its a library this big and no one's here He just didn't understand it. Blazing place the book on the table and took a seat he started to read the front cover of the book to himself, "The Guide To Yourself: Volume 2 Sexualities, by Twilight Sparkle. " Blazing couldn't believe it, of all the books he could picked what were the chances of that book being written by his own Aunt, Probably very slim. Blazing turned the book over to read the back, "This book tells you all about the different Sexualities, what they mean, what their flags are, and what you can say and what you shouldn't say ?"
It seemed pretty straight forward Blazing thought he turn the book back to the front cover and opened the book to the first Page. It had the word Heterosexuality underlined in big bold writing. "Really Twilight did ya have to start with the Straight Sexuality every pony knows that? But their flag is bit boring. " Blazing turned the page it had Homosexuality on the next page he knew about them, Blazing knew he wasn't gay not that he had a problem gay ponies he just knew he wasn't that. On the Next Page was Bisexual , again Blazing knew what that was and he knew he wasn't that so Blazing continued on hope that he would find out who he was now that he was past all the Sexualities that he knew. Next was Pansexual, "Wait all genders, they are attracted to all gender... wow." After pan's was Polysexuality "ugh! Polysexual hurts my head!"
Blazing turned a Page and a sexuality caught his eye, Asexuality, "This makes so much sense." Blazing laughed feeling so much better about him self. Blazing looked out the window to see the sunlight slowly fading he knew that he had to leave now and quickly, Diamond said his goodbyes to Thorax and left heading for the Crystal Castle.

You slouch in Spike throne as yawn escapes your muzzle clearly tired from the day's events, the only thing you wanted to do was find your and climb into bed so you could curl up and slowly drifting off to sleep. But you knew that you couldn't, firstly you had to wait until Twilight woke up so she could take over from you and Secondly you felt like you needed to Travel to Ponyville so you Check on your Wife and Daughter to make sure that everything went okay. You knew that you didn't have to check on them but it gave you a peace mind so you could sleep with an easy mind.
Soon Twilight come trotting through the doors yawning dressed in her royal armour ready for her night of rule. "Sorry I took so long I lost one of my shoes, I hope you wasn't waiting too long?"
"No I wasn't waiting too long?" You yawned through your lie as you put your hoof up to cover it.
Twilight giggles knowing all well that your lying. "Well why don't you go and get some Sleep?"
"Wish I could but I cant, I've gotta go check on my Pinkie and Shindig to cheek on them." You tell Twilight while heading towards the doors of the throne room.
"Really now? Why don't you do check on them tomorrow you look so tired?" Twilight suggested sounding worried.
"I promised and I always Keep my promises no matter what." You tell Twilight.
"Well at lest take a carriage or the train or heck why don't you teleport there?" Twilight Suggested again.
"Nah ill fly instead, it'll wake me up after today?" You tell Twilight as pushing the door open.
"Okay, well stay safe Anon."
"What are you my mother?" You ask in joking around.
"Shut up!" Twilight told you Smiling.
"Goodnight Twilight."
"Goodnight Anon."
With that you left the throne and made your way to your room and flew out the window so that you didn't alert any of the guards on patrol this night. You just focused on Flying keeping your head clear, the last thing you need is getting to the Pinkie and not say anything through a flustered head. the only thing is your head has other plans and you just couldn't help yourself but think about where you are right now in life, you just didn't image your life like this it was crazy but some how you lived through it; barely. You knew what ever had control of Rarity all those years ago wasn't done and soon you and Spike will be back to back fighting off whatever was behind all of that chaos and mayhem.
Before you knew it you had arrived at Ponyville and was close to the Hospital, you soon landed out side the Hospital before knocking you take a deep breath clearing your thoughts and nerves. reaching out you knock on the doors rapidly loud, hoping some pony would come quickly. You waited a minute or two but still no pony came, annoyed you knocked again with the same speed and intensity of noise knocking as last time causing a loud and irritating sound. You stopped knocking hearing the door unlocking, a female put her head the gap of the was open, it was the same nurse whose been treating your Wife (Nurse Justice).
"Who Spike's name is up-;" Nurse Justice stop talking seeing that it was you standing there. "Your Highness im sorry but what is meaning of this noise?"
You could tell she was annoyed but she kept her cool not wanting to offend you, but you was to tired to be subtle so came straight to the point of your visit. "I need to see my Wife."
"What now?" Nurse Justice asks confused.
"Yes now I have to see her now!" Your tone was strong and serious letting the Nurse know you wasn't kidding.
"Yes o-of course your Highness, please don't take too long and could you teleport out of here saving me the trouble of letting you back out?" The Nurse asked tired.
"Ill be sure to do just that." you tell her giving her the comforting feeling of know that she doesn't have to get out of bed again.
"Well come in then?" You thank her as you trot inside hearing the nurse lock the door behind you.
You head to Pinkie room, seeing the Hospital so dark gave you the spooks like being in some horror story, where the Zomponies awake from the Morgue and chase me down only to find the last survivor. Then the two of you would become a team and hunt Zomponies down to only finding a cure by accident that save the world and makes us heroes. "I've got to stop reading Steven Prince books before bed " you think to yourself while silently giggling.
It wasn't long before you got to your Wife's room and open the door to see her sleeping soundly. you sit in the chair next to her bed watching sleep soundly meant you could sleep soundly knowing she was fine. "Im sorry I couldn't be there today," you whisper, "you see im running Equestria on my own but I hope you and Shindig had some fun. I Love you Pinkie so much. I don't think I can go on living without you, but I will for Shindig's sake." You wipe the tears away giving Pinkie a long kiss on the forehead before teleporting away, once you were gone Pinkie whispers. "I love you too Anon."
Shindig layed down in bed ready to go a sleep that was before her stomach rumbled begging to be filled with food. Shindig tried to ignore it but her stomach only got louder and louder until she groaned and finally gave in. Shindig made her way down the stairs past the front of the shop and into the kitchen. Shindig turned the light on about to make her way over to the fridge until you appear scaring Shindig making her scream and throw a plate at you use her magic, you duck just in time letting plate go over your head smashing into the wall at the side of you.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" Shindig screams put a hoof on her chest feeling her heart beat fast.
"Good to see you too." You reply joking around.
"IM NOT MESSING AROUND!" Shindig shouts at the top of her lungs angry at her Father.
"Ok, ok, ok, but could you lower your voice a tad?" You ask whispering.
"GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY?!" Shindig glares at you.
"Well your gonna wake up the whole of Equestria that's a good enough reason I think?" You tell her slightly annoyed.
"Fine!" Shindig huffed.
Once you had calmed your daughter down you finally started to tell her why you were there and that you had just visit Pinkie yourself. So Shindig started to make a cup of tea as they discussed their days. With shindig telling her Father about her trip to visit her Mother in Hospital and You telling Shindig all about your day.

Spike stood on the balcony and looked up at the stars he thought about all of his lost friends and he could feel something was wrong. Spike always knew the fighting wasn't over but he could feel it come closer like how you could feel a storm coming, it Scared Spike but he knew he had to protect his family that was his first priority. "If this Master, this colt think its gonna be easy he has another thing coming."
Spike heard the door open, he turned around to see Cadence standing there with a worried look on her face "You can feel as well?" Spike nodded in reply confirming Cadence's worst fears "Dark Magic is at work tonight and its gonna be bigger then all of us, you cant fight this one alone."
"If I don't then who will?" Spike asks.
"We all will together." Cadence answers reassuringly.
Spike had fix in his had Equestria was his and no pony else's Problem."No. I was given this role and I will do it on my own. I've stopped all those who have come before. I can stop who ever coming next. im going to bed goodnight Auntie."
Spike left Cadence alone on the balcony. "I hope so Spike, I hope so."
Author's Note

Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
It was early morning; Spike and Blazing help lift the banner for the Crystal Fare while Agile and Apple Charm rounded up all of the sheep and put them in their pen. After helping his Dad put up the decorations Blazing had asked if he could help partake in the celebration's by helping make the straw hats at the stand to which Cadence was more then delighted to let him help, Flurry Heart heard about Blazing going to help in making straw hats and decided to join him wanting to get know the young drake/colt, Flurry wasn't sure what she should call him. Scootaloo sat in her wheel chair and watched every pony help in the celebration and couldn't help but feel useless stuck on the ground in a wheelchair like she was a little Filly who had been grounded by her parents.
Spike made his way over to Scootaloo and kissed her on the cheek, "Come on." Spike started push the wheelchair towards the festival.
"What are we doing?" Scootaloo asked confused
"Well we're going to join in on the festivities of course!" Spike admitted like it was plainly obvious.
"But im in stuck in this bloody chair?" Scootaloo's head hang low.
"So, it doesn't stop you from having fun the blood bag is attached to chair. Now I hear they are making some Tasty treats over in the baking tents, I think we should go over and inspect that they are making them properly." Spike suggested with a bright smirk. Scootaloo smiled up Spike feeling so much love for her drake.
Agile and Apple Charm got all of the sheep into the pen and began to help the little Fillies and colts to pet the sheep as Blazing Daimond and Flurry heart got into a rhythm of making hats for each of the ponies that came by. Cadence smiled as she saw everypony having fun and enjoying themselves so she decided to go back into the castle. Cadence made her way up to her bedroom and closed the door behind her self making sure she was alone before activating a secret passage in her wall using her magic. Cadence horn glowed help he see as made her way through to the other side of the secret passage leading to a room with a shrine to her late husband. Massive framed picture of Shinning Armour hanging on the wall with flowers, candles and pictures of his happiest moments all around the picture. Cadence came here to think, pay respect when she missed her husband or when ever she was scared of something and she need her husband advice, and she need her husband advice more then ever.
"Hi Shinny, im worried I feel an great evil coming and its the strongest I've felt it-" Cadence frowned "-and I don't think Spike can stop it this time what should I do?"
Meanwhile-
Blazing Diamond finished working on a straw hat for a customer when he see's Thorax coming over and he let Flurry know that he had to go and made his way over to thorax. "Hey Thorax, its good too see you" Blazing Smiles.
"Its great to see you too Diamond, I hope that book helped you out." Thorax replied.
"Oh um, yeah it did as matter of fact, thank you." Blazing blushed as he remembered yesterday.
"No problem Blazing im just glad I could help tis all."
"So wanna have that talk with me, my Sister, my Mum and Dad?" Blazing asked knowing the reason he found Thorax so quickly.
"Um... well, if you don't mind that is?" Thorax asked unsure that it was okay.
"Sure we just have to go find them, I think my sister is over at the petting pen so we should go there first." Diamond told Thorax he nodded in agreement and followed Diamond to the petting pen.
Agile turned around hearing her name being called, she turned around to see her brother standing next to Changeling. "Um... Brother you do you know your standing next to a Changeling?!"
"Yeah This is Dad's friend Thorax I met him in the Library, Thorax wants to ask us about our biology wanna join?" Blazing ask casually which confused Agile.
Agile didn't know how to reply she couldn't figure out if it was a trap or if the Changeling was genuinely good, But then a thought came to her if the Changeling wasn't good Dad would stop him anyway. "Sure Ill come just let me tell Charm im going." Agile told Blazing And Thorax before leaving to find their Dad.
Spike was overwhelmed to his old friend again in such an long time. Spike greeted Thorax with open arms; squeezing the Changeling in the processes. Once the pleasantries and introductions we're done everypony decided to go back to Thorax's library to continue talking.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The loud beeping sound of you're alarm fills your room as you try your best to sleep by digging your head further in the pillow.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The alarm continue ring sounding louder then before, but you were determined to sleep extra few minutes, you place pillow over your head in attempts to block out the alarm.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
The alarm seem to get even louder then ever constantly beeping until you finally gave up and got up to turn the alarm off and see its five a clock. You stretch your hooves out while yawning simultaneously as you got up and trotted to the bathroom getting washed and dressed ready for the day's work ahead. Once you were dressed in your royal armour you watched Twilight lower the moon from your balcony, once the moon was lowered you started to raise the sun. You remember when spike first taught you that magic spell it was the most difficult thing you had ever tried you couldn't even get to raise the sun a centimetre into the sky. You silently laugh now moving the sun into its position where it will be fine on its own until you had to lower it.
After raising the sun you head down to the kitchen where you placed your orders for your breakfast this morning. It wasn't long till was served, as you started to eat your breakfast you could start to feel that this life style would suit you, knowing you were doing by others while living in luxury, it seemed Fitting. Once Breakfast was eaten you made your way to the Throne room and called Quartz Pen to find out your duties for the day.
"Well your Highness-" Quartz started to talk until you interrupted her.
"Quartz Just call me Anon, please." you tell with a smile you were getting tired of being called Highness
"Oh, um... sure thing Anon?" She question as if she's unsure but you nod your head to let her know she was okay. "well you have a new Orphanage to open in Ponyville, that's from ten to twelve but after that you're clear for the day Anon."
"Really? Sweet, get the carriage ready to go." you order as you think about being able to go see Pinkie afterwards.
Once the carriage was ready, you got in with to Guards and headed to Ponyville. The Guards didn't say anything no matter how much tried to talk to them or pull face trying to make them laugh, you tried for a good half an hour before giving up thinking it was lost cause that their soul must of died along time ago. You looked out the Window of your carriage and see a big build with hundreds of ponies cheering out your name. you get out of the carriage before you start smiling and waving back at the crowd, Mayor Wish trots up to you extends a hoof to greet you, which you happily accept and shake hooves with the Mayor. Cameras flash as you and Mayor shake hooves, Ponies from all different tabloids were here, you'd be on the front page of every news paper over Equestria
"I cant thank you enough for doing this, I know how much of a busy colt you must be and how cold it is here I cant wait for summer." Mayor Wish smile genuinely happy for you to be here.
"Its no problem Mayor Wish im so glad to be here at the grand opening im just sorry Spike isn't here to do this instead, I guess I'll have to do instead." You apologise.
"Time is getting on we'd better start now." Mayor said looking at sun.
You nodded and took your place in the background as the mayor trots up to the podium to begin her speech, you stand and wait for you name to be called. But suddenly you head starts to hurt a sharp pain pierces through your skull, you put a hoof to your head as the pain gets unbearable. soon you hear a voice whisper to you like you can hear someponies thoughts.
"meet me at the hospital after your done here or im afraid Twilight is going to be last of the Element wilders, come alone or your daughter will die as well."
Your eyes go wide in fear and your heart skipped a beat, losing your wife this scared you to death. But you couldn't think about it now the Mayor had just called you the Podium for you to make you're speech.
"Mares and Gentle Colt I cant say how much of a great day it is, this Orphanage will house so Many lost and alone foals they will be cared and loved for by our warm and welcoming staff. So it tis my honour on behalf of our King Spike that I declare this Orphanage OPEN!" You cut the red ribbon with your magic and crowd went wild, the camera's flashed and you stood there with Mayor Wish wanting to leave.
Once every thing was done you said you're goodbyes to the Mayor and you told your Guards to leave with the Carriage and that your visiting your wife and that you would fly back not needing an escort. You began to gallop towards the hospital, fear had finally took hold of your body and your Family safety was on the highest thing on your list and no pony could stop him. You were at the hospital as soon as possible and you galloped up the stairs as quick as you could. you were running on steam trying to make it to Pinkie's room, your entire body from you head to your hooves and all your inside's were aching begging for you to stop but you ignored them and kept on going.
You entered Pinkie's room to see an old pony standing between Pinkie who was still in her bed but she had yellow magic wrapped around her neck and on the other side Shindig was in the air and she also had magic wrapped around her neck. your mind was working a million miles an hour, you we're already on working on escape plan while trying to find out who the pony was in front of but It was hard to tell was so dark in the room.
"Now you have a choice, do you understand?" The old colt asked his voice sounded ruff like his throat had been burnt.
"Yes!" You replied not wanting to mess around with this colt, you knew he business.
"Good, now your going to give me what ever power you have over the throne and I will release your family. If you say no then I will kill your family and I will forcefully take the power from you, yes or no." The old colt was brief and straight to the point, no fuss or bragging he was serious. You thought about the proposal over and over again, if he was going to get it I might as well have my family with me while hell brakes loose.
"Time's up! I need your answer, now!" The old colt demanded.
"I will give you my power as long you hold on to your word and let my family go." You answer, it was the best you could but you thought spike could easily handle him when he got back.
"You have my word." As soon as the old colt said that, the magic came away from your wife and daughter. "Now, let us begin."
you sighed and closed your eyes as you focused on your magic, you raised into the sky and opened eyes they we're completely white and a white beam came from chest hitting the old colts horn. you fell to the ground tired, shindig rushed to your side. "Daddy!"
The old colt started to laugh as horn glowed he opened the blinds to show the outside. "Attack!"
You got up to go look out the window to see millions of changelings attacking the town, thousands of ponies galloping and screaming for their lives. You turn around to see the old colt smiling. "Who are you?" You ask terrified.
"Me? Im The Master Nightmare! but you might know me by a different name, I Was once called Star Swirl The Bearded!" A black cap appears around his neck with a black crown a top his head.
"But your dead and have been for a while now." you argue out of shock.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but I have to leave. I have a tight schedule Im going to have to leave you with my two friends here, they will take care of you." Two Changelings make their way into the room and shut the door behind them selves as The Master Nightmare trots off laughing.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Everypony sat down at the table in the library, Thorax grabbed a book, quill and pot of ink. You could see the excitement on thorax's face it was plain as day. Everypony sat in silence and watched Thorax excitedly write in his book waiting for him to start asking questions.
"So I guess ill start with... how old are you both?" Thorax looked at both Agile and Blazing Diamond.
"Im Thirty two he's Twenty five." Agile answer to which Thorax nodded and wrote the answers down.
"Who got their Cutie Mark first im assuming it was you Agile." Thorax asks without even looking up.
Blazing cleared his throat before talking. "No, actually I got mine first, I was five and I was in School, I wanted to be in the school play but all the taken. So I what the teachers said that I could help make the costumes but I didn't want to do that, it wasn't until an friend of mine encouraged me to go for it, so I did. But short story is that I started to love it and I designed some costume of my own and it wasn't long till got this baby." Blazing stood up and showed Thorax his flank, a diamond in the middle of a flame with magic stars coming off it.
"I see... But what dose the flame and Magic stars mean?" Thorax asked intrigued.
"I don't know to be honest, I mean im really strong with magic. Oh and I can breath fire but so can my sister." Blazing Diamond looked down feeling upset that he didn't know more about his own Cutie Mark.
"Well what about you Agile? What's your story?" Thorax asks while writing down what Blazing had told him.
"I was elven and I was with dad and we decided to race and flew so fast I made a sonic rainbow something that had only been done by on of dad's Friends... Rainbow Dash I if remember right. This was the mark I got for it." Agile stood up showing her cutie mark.
"Interesting." Thorax looked her mark and continued to write down in his book. "So do you have an-."
"Im sorry but why are you asking these questions?" Agile interrupted.
Before Thorax could answer the door of the library slammed open Causing everypony to look up the stairs to see cadence and Flurry Heart with two guards standing at the top. "Spike!" Cadence shouted and galloped down the stairs with Flurry Heart and the two Guards following.
"Cadence what's wrong?" Spike asked concerned.
"Canterlot and Ponyville have fallen!"
Author's Note
I hope your enjoying the story so far im trying to put a lot of hard work into this one to make it a big finale to end the story on.
Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter v. New Law
"What?!" Spike couldn't believe what Cadence was saying, he knew it was bad his mind went to Twilight not giving Anon a second thought.
"Canterlot and Ponyville have been attacked by changeling's and we don't know whose leading them. We need you to go over and save Twilight and Anon if you can, I will stay here and look after your family." Spike reluctantly agreed seeing no other way out.
"Spike, Please Save my Mama?" Apple Charm ask as Agile cuddles her.
"I don't need to, ill have to Save the Changelings from your mum." Spike promised
Spike made his way over to Scootaloo. "Look after your self and... give them hell!"
That made Spike Chuckle a little bit. "I'll sure as hell gonna kick some flank and ill make it look Awesome for you."
Spike turned to look at as his son. "Why don't I come with you I could help?"
"No its too dangerous I and I need you to stay her to be useful for Cadence if she need's your help." Spike told Blazing to which he nodded in reply. "You too Agile." Spike Smiles
"Of course Dad." Agile false a smile hiding the fear.
Spike kissed his family goodbye and made his way out of the library, he stretched his wings out feeling the wing blow around and through the two holes in his left wing and took off into the skies of Equestria as fast an old friend of his. Along the way Spike mentally prepared himself for the battle ahead he knew there would be thousands of Changelings and he didn't have a plan, That's how it always was when he thought about it he never had a plan for stopping the bad guys, he charged in and let fate and his skills do the rest.
Spike hovered over Canterlot see the destruction, homes and businesses that ponies had put the lives into building to only have it rip down in manner of seconds. Apart of Spike wanted to drop down and kick the crap out of any and every changeling he could see, but he knew that he had a job to do and mustn't ruin it by being reckless. Spike continued watching Canterlot from above feeling powerless in able to help his subjects, but he noticed that the only ponies that we're being killed were the old and Foals, the ones they had no use for. The perfectly healthy Mares and Colts were captured and Spike could only guess that they were taken for slaves and made to do Celestia knows what.
Spike had enough of watching his subjects suffer and made his way to the balcony of his bedroom sneaking past troops Changelings and landing silently outside his door. Spike opened the door a little to see how many changeling's were in his room, peering in he saw two by the wardrobe, one by the bed and two in the bathroom. Spike pulled away and took a deep breath this is where time and speed played a big hand in him pulling this off successfully.
Spike took one more deep breath before heading in Spike grabbed the heads of the Changelings next to the wardrobe and smashed their heads together knocking them out cold. Then heading over to the other changeling by the bed and hitting his head against the corner of the bed side table killing him. Once the Changeling's were dealt with in the bedroom headed into the bathroom and got the jump on the first changeling snapping his neck then throw into the other catching him off guard and landing him onto the floor, Spike stood on top of him and stamped on his neck digging his claws in killing him.
Once that was over Spiked over to his wardrobe pulling out his armour and sword, he quickly put them on and open the door silently peering his head out looking left and right. Seeing that the hallway was clear he made his way ducking in and out of Changelings way hiding in rooms and coming out when the cost was clear. It wasn't long until he reached Twilights room and he only found Changelings and once they were dealt with he sat down and thought about were Twilight could be.
Then it him they knew he was coming and that she is trapped in the Throne room to trap Spike into doing what ever they wanted or needed. even though he knew this it didn't help figure away around the trap. This best thing he could was enter the trap and figure a way out of the mess afterwards, with Spikes mind made up he headed to the Throne room and hoped for best. Spike didn't even try to hide, he walk down to the like it was normal day in the castle as if the his subjects wasn't dying on his door steps. It was weird Spike had made it to the doors of the throne room and no Changeling had attacked him, Spike look at throne room door with uneasy feeling in his gut he had a feeling that as soon as he stepped in the room he was going to be jumped on by a lot of Changing troops. But there was no point in delaying the inevitable, Spike opened the door and entered the room finding it mostly empty.
Twilight was in the middle of the room crying trapped in a green crystal looking shield, Spike started to walk slowly to Twilight as carefully as he could. "Huh? Whose there?" Twilight questioned looking.
"Calm down Twilight its me, see?" Spike looked at Twilight her eyes were completely white.
"Tell me something that only I and you would know ?" Twilight asked with a scared tone.
"Twilight... w-what happened to your eyes?" Spike asked worried.
"ANSWER THE QUESTION!" Twilight shouted out fear, fear that needed to be soothed.
Spike stood there and thought about his answer until a memory popped in his head. "Do you remember before all of this happened, the morning before King Sombra, Where I asked you if Rarity would ever get over Rainbow. And you sat me down and told be that I need to let her and you made me realise that my true love was Scootaloo."
When Spike stopped talking he saw that Twilight was wiping tears away with her hooves. "Oh Spike! I'm so glad your here!"
"So am I Twi, but what happened to your eyes?" Spike asks as he rushes to Twilight trying to find a way out.
"I was sleeping when the invasion happed and somepony kicked me out of bed and I saw was the shadow of somepony and their horn was glowing, casting a spell that... h-has made... me permanently... blind." It pained Twilight to say it out loud make the fact all to real.
Spike stop looking for a way out and dropped to his knees looking at Twilight in shock his eyes started to water up. "Im... so, so sorry Twilight."
"Never mind that now, do you know how to get me out of here?" Twilight asked focusing on the here and now.
Spike wipe his eyes with his claw. "Yeah I thinks so, cover your eyes." Twilight did as she was told as Spike mustered up all his brute force and punched through the shield making it crack and crumble around Twilight. "Lets go!" Spike grabbed Twilight and headed to the door only to be stopped by two Changelings and Before Spike knew it he was surrounded by Changelings that had come out of the shadow.
"Going so soon but we didn't even get to chat." A voice called from the darkness.
"Spike what's going on?" Twilight asked wishing that she had her sight back.
"Twilight stay close to me, Who are you? Show your self!" Spike demanded.
"Of course, its only fair you get to see your enemy." The voice came from behind Spike making turn around.
Spike saw an old Colt sitting in his Throne, he wore a black cape and black crown with red rubies imbedded into it "Who are you"
"I call my self the Master Nightmare, but you may know me by a different name, I was once called Star Swirl The Bearded!" The Master smirked while Twilight and Spike gasped in surprise.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
You and your daughter step in front Pinkies bed blocking the Changelings. Both you and shindig glare down the other Changeling before you both start to attack them. You do your best blocking each attack that came your way you, flew into the kicking the Changeling square in the face catching him off guard. It gave you enough time to throw a couple of punches hitting the Changeling in face and chest making fall to the ground. Before you could buck the Changeling out the room he turns into Pinkie catching you off Guard giving him the to slide kick making you hit the ground with a hard thud causing your vision to go blurry.
Your a bit confused but you could still make out the out line of Changeling making you roll as you saw he was about stamp on face. getting up with your sight clearing up you see a clipboard and throw it at the Changeling with your magic, it hits him in the throat making the Changeling gag. with this opening you turn around and buck the Changeling in the face knocking him out cold. With the Changeling out cold you turn around to see Shindig in shock with other Changeling dead on the floor his head was all bashed in, blood all over the floor.
You rush to your daughter side she wasn't even looking at the body "It's okay, it's all over now!"
"I couldn't stop him im so sorry dad, I tried my best, I really did." Shindig's voice was all shake and sounded so scared.
"I don't understand Sweetheart, what are you talking about?" As soon as you ask that Shindig looks down and points to Pinkie.
You look over to see a hole in Pinkie's chest with burn marks around the skin of the hole you rush to you wife's side. "Say something Please!" You begged looking at Pinkie's dead body, tears stream down your face as hope all leaves you, the acceptance of your wife's death is too much for you.
You and your daughter sit there for half an hour in silence, It wasn't until Shindig made move that the silence was broken. "Come on Dad we've got to get going." Agile tried to push you on to your hooves but she had no luck.
"What's the point, she's gone." There was no tone left in your voice.
"If we don't get going then Twilight, Applebloom, Rosie and Nightfall's Family is all lost, the Master and the Changelings would have Won. And you cant avenge Mum's death." Shindig argued.
Suddenly a flame lit in side you like Somepony had turned on a light bulb. "Your right we must save our friends and kill every last pitiful Changeling piece of shit in sight, working our way up until we finally kill The Master Nightmare!" You get up with a new passion in your eyes.
"I promise Dad, The Master will pay for what he did." Shindig hugged her father deeply pouring all her emotions into the hug.
You hugged your daughter just tight as she did, Once the hug was done you planted a goodbye kiss on Pinkie's forehead before Shindig jumped on your back, once blew a hole in the wall with magic and flew out the room towards Sweet Apple Acers. You knew fly high above the clouds jumping from one to the other keeping out the way of Changelings until you reached Sweet Apple Acers. The farm looked clear as if no Changeling had been near it which was a relief knowing that Applebloom and Rosie was okay.
"The Changeling Troop's must all be converging on the city." You say thinking out loud as Shindig got off your back.
"Well lets be thankful then, It doesn't make our job any harder then it need's to be." Shindig tells you as you make your way towards the house. You knock on the door and wait a minute until Applebloom opened the door "Applebloom are you-"
"Cut it!" Applebloom interrupt's you, her voice is strong and serious, She stood in front of Rosie protecting her. You decide to let her continue talking not wanting to anger her. "Ah know What's happing in Ponyville, so If ya the real Anon tell me you'll past and if ya the real him yer would know what I mean," Applebloom stared you down.
"Im actually a human and im not really Celestia son and I was the husband of most beautiful pony Pinkie Pie, are we good?" You ask unsure.
"Ya we're good" Applebloom answers now relaxed she lets you in.
"Good!" You reply as you relax and enter the house.
"I assume ya have a plan?" Applebloom asks you walk into the kitchen Were Rosie was eating lunch.
"Yes I need you to stay here as I bring each of our friends here, Then ill teleport us all to the Crystal Empire with the help of twilight and then we have to find Spike and his family." You tell Applebloom, your tone of voice is harsh yet still has it of its caring nature behind it.
"Can ah Help?" Rosie asks making Applebloom frown
"Oh no ya don't im not letting you go Rosie, your Mum Would kill me if ah did. Besides Anon does this thing sort of thing before and it Sounds good to me but Im sorry Anon." Applebloom could tell that Pinkie Pie was dead, it was hard to figure out harsh ness in his tone voice and sad expression on both Shindig and Your face was a clear give away, not to mention the clear absence of Pinkie.
"Yeah I guess."
"Come on Shindig, lets go" You didn't want to reply to Applebloom out of fear that you might start to cry even though you was thankful for Applebloom's kind words.
"Wait, what? You want me to come with you?" Shindig asks surprised.
"Well, yeah you handle you self pretty well I mean look at the state of the changeling back at the hospital, and im gonna need somepony to watch my back." You were able to smile for a Small second as planted a kiss on your daughters forehead making her feel loved. "We Wont Be long." You told Applebloom just before you teleported back home to your bedroom in Sugar Cube Corner.
"Why are here?" Shindig asks confused.
"One I need my armour on and two I need find Nightfall's door number I cant remember it right now, I have it written down somewhere?" You first go to the wardrobe and put your armour on and then search your bedroom.
"I thought your armour was at the castle?" Shindig ask sitting on a chair in the corner.
"I it is. I have another armour's this is an emergency armour in case if the other is broken. can poke your head out the and keep watch Just in case if Changeling makes an unwelcome visit.?" You ask as you rummage through your draws not even looking at Shindig.
"So why are we going after Nightfall first and not Twilight." Shindig as she does what you ask heading towards the door. You didn't hear your daughter as you found a photo of you, Pinkie and Baby shindig at the hospital (It was day Shindig was born). "Dad!" Shindig calls out making you wipe your eyes dry as put the photo in your mane just like Pinkie taught you.
"Sorry what did you say Shindig?" You apologise and continue to looking for the door number.
"I said why are saving Nightfall first, not Twilight?" Shindig repeated her self.
"Well for one thing Nightfall has a child and husband and Twilight is strong independent Alicorn who has very powerful magic, I think she'll be fine and I think I just found the door number. 331c, Yes this it, come on lets go." Once Shindig was next you teleported outside Nightfall's house.
Unfortunately as you teleported four Changeling troops notice you and Shindig appear causing you both to get into a battle stance. You see two Changeling's fly straight at you which you smile at as fly straight up make the changelings hit ground, With the Changeling's dazed you fly straight back down cracking their skull open seeing the blood pour out. You look over to see Shindig be over whelmed, anger fuels your fear as you snap the two changeling's neck's keeping your daughter safe. You gallop over to Shindig checking her over, only a couple of bruises but that's it.
"Anon!" You hear Somepony call your name you turn around to see Nightfall he's opened the door "Get in now!" You help Shindig up and gallop into the house.
Nightfall locks the door behind and puts a magic shield around the house before turning to talk to you and Shindig "What the hell were you doing out there?"
"We came to get you, Dad has a plan." Shindig answered while trying to catch her breath.
You Explained your plan after that, Nightfall wasn't happy that you didn't get Twilight first but he could understand you reasoning. Nightfall gathered his family so that you could teleport them to Sweet Apple Acers. Once you back at the Apple farm it was time for to leave again but not before you have an Argument with your daughter.
"No! Shindig I've already lost your Mother im not losing you, I was an idiot for thinking you were ready to face Changeling troopers. Now you will stay here and wait for my return, do I make my self clear?" You give your daughter serious look.
"Yes Dad." Shindig answers coldly.
"Good I wont be long." And with that you were gone leaving a disappointed Shindig behind.

Spike beats off every Changeling that come his way but Spike can feel his muscle's getting tighter by the minute, his breath was getting quicker by the minute. Spike was getting tired and his fighting was getting sloppy, but Spike still wasn't giving up no matter what he'll keep fighting till his last breath to defend Twilight. Once Spike had beaten one changeling another four would come down to attack him, each punch, Kick, scratch and Bite weakened him down. The Master Nightmare Smiled as watched his victory unfold right in font his face, he could almost taste the sweet victory.
Spike throw a punch and missed his target which was his biggest mistake as a Changeling hit him in the gut making him fall to ground in agonising pain. "Excellent now restrain the Princess and the King." The Master chuckles.
"NOOOOO! Come on Spike! Get up! Don't let him Win!" Twilight was silenced as two Changeling's hit her the stomach.
"I must say Spike You put a good Fight, but not good enough im afraid. Before I do what I do I must tell you this is not personal." The Master horn glow's and a knife and Vial appeared beside him.
Spike laid on the tired as coughed up Blood spiting it in his face. "Sorry to say but it kind of feel's personal."
The Master cleared the blood off his with a cloth before throwing it away. "Hmm I guess it would, now a word of warning this going to hurt like hell." The knife dug into his arm just above elbow ands started to cut into deeply.
All Twilight could were blood curdling Scream of her friend's pain as the knife got past his scales now hitting bone. The Master hacked and hacked away at Spikes bone until the knife went clean through, All that was left was a bit flesh that still connected his arm which The Master tore right off separating him from his arm.
Spike watched as The Master used magic lift the arm up squish a small drop of blood into the vail before tossing the arm aside. "That was the reason you cut my arm OFF!" The master looked back at the drake. "You didn't need to do that!" Spike coughed another load of blood as he felt like he was about to black out from all the blood loss.
"Oh I know but whereas the fun in just cutting your arm open eh?" Before Spike could answer The Master kept talking "Now you are gonna wanna stay awake for this." The master horn glowed once more and Four other Vial's appeared around him. "Remember these, all thanks to the lovely miss Rarity."
"You corrupted her with your dark magic! You arsehole" Spike growled.
"Maybe so but her purpose was put to good use, Now hush and watch." The Master Nightmare cleared his throat before begging the spell. "From the pits Tartarus bring back those who were lost in death, those of pure dark magic to under my control for my own use keeping me alive for the rest of eternity." A black and red Portal opened from the ceiling and King Sombra, Lord Tirek, Chrysalis and Discord fell out.
All four of the villain's turn to The Master "What is thy bidding My Master?" Spike's eyes go wide in fear until He blacks out of blood loss.

Chapter VI. Leaving Home Behind
Once Spike had left to go save Twilight and Anon in Canterlot, Cadence turn back to face Spike's Family. "Well, That was easier then expected" Cadence smiled wickedly.
"Mum? What do you mean?" Flurry Heart step back wards feeling cautious Until she turned around to see the two Guards have turned into Changeling, making her gasp looking back her Mum.
"Sorry Sweetie Mummy isn't here right now." Cadence disappeared right in front of her eye's leaving behind a bigger looking Changeling, he Grabbed hold of Flurry Heart and throw her down the stairs.
Blazing went to Flurry side bringing her back and then stood in front of his Mother and Friend protecting them both, Agile also stood in front of Stood in front of her wife trying to keep self.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I am the General and this is my Changeling army. I work for the master and I'm sorry to say that my orders are to kill to which we will enjoy." The General eyes scan the group looking at each coming to Thorax. "So you are the legendary traitor I've heard so much about." The General made his way over trying to intimidate him as much as possible.
"The name is Thorax." Thorax stood his ground not be intimidated the General.
"So you say, I'm guessing you called your self that. You know that you could join us again and I will hold no judgement on you. It's a once in a lifetime offer, what do you say?" The General smiled, it was slimy and unsettling, it was a smile not to be trusted.
"No thanks, I'm doing just fine with being free." Thorax glared The General down causing him to back hoof smack Thorax to the ground.
"You ungrateful bastard. I make you a once in a life time and you spit it back in my face." The General continue to kick Thorax in the stomach make him cough.
Blazing watched as The General beat Thorax to a pulp. Blazing felt his anger reach boiling point make him use his magic to fling The General across the room into the book shelves behind him. The two Changeling Guards gallop over to aid their leader.
"Right that brought us some time, let's go!" Blazing picked up Thorax off the floor and put him on his back and rushed back to his group.
"No! don't worry about me, stop them you prick's." But before they could turn around to do anything Agile had teleported them out of there. "DANM IT! YOU IDIOTS!" The General picked up the two Guards and snaped their necks. "Master Nightmare will not be pleased." The General spoke out loud to him self as fear kicked in.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
"Wakey, wakey drakey." The Master Nightmare whispers down Spikes ear causing him stir but and not enough to wake him up. That was until The Master back hoof slaps the drake awake. "I said wake up!"
Spikes eyes go wide, darting around the room checking where he was. To only find that he was in the same place as he was before but yet one Change. The Master stood in front of him looking younger and stronger with his four super slaves behind, Tirek, King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis and Discord the Sprit of Chaos and Disharmony. "Damn it!"
"Sorry you haven't died yet. I need you alive, if you die then me and my super slaves die. See your the last one alive out of ponies that gave me blood and the spell has a problem. if at least one ponies, dragon left alive is killed by something other then old age or illness the spell fails. so you see your the most important thing to this take over and I wont let anything happen to you my pet." The Master gloats.
Spike completely blacked out The Master and looked up to see Discord frowning. "D-discord are... are you okay?" Spike asks as he could feel all of the energy
"I tried so hard to be good and it turned out to be for nothing and now I'm just a slave waiting for orders. But I won't attack Fluttershy, I'll do my best to resist. I promise I won't hurt her!"
"That's why you lost, you were soft and weak. That pony Stupide turned a great god of chaos into pansy." King Sombra growled.
"HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT FLUTTERSHY LIKE THAT! And if that so true what's your excuse for your death?" King Sombra looked straight Spike growling harshly.
"That Dragon Killed me!" King Sombra's answers Making Discord laugh.
"So you wasn't strong enough, you couldn't fight good enough and Spike Smacked your ass down." King Sombra growled and was about to retaliate but he could think come and huffed instead causing the Draconequus to laugh even more, which angered Sombra.
"Discord I... I need to, to tell something." Spike spat out with what strength he had left.
Discord stopped laughing to listen. "Yes Spike the King Slayer." King Sombra's eye's roll at the comment.
"Fl... Fluttershy is, is dead!" Spike managed to speak out. " She burned alive in an accident at Sweet Apple Acres. Fluttershy lived happily and missed y-you so very much." Discord said something in reply but Spike could hear him. The Last thing Spike could hear was the doors to the throne room opening and his name being called, before he blacked out for the second time.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
You had hold of both Twilight and Spike and teleported back to Sweet Apple Acers to find that everypony was already here. You carefully place Twilight and Spike on the Sofa.
Scootaloo's eye's go wide in fear as she see Spikes body. "SPIKE!" She pushes her wheelchair as fast as she can rushing to her husband side Spike's children soon followed behind.
You look at Scootaloo's Blood Bag drip to see it very low and then at Spikes arm. "We wont make it anywhere with out some medicine supply's." You think as come to your decision. "Im going back to the hospital to pick up medicine Supply's." You tell the rest of the group as you stand up about to tell port before Applebloom shouts out stopping him in his tracks.
"Oh no ya don't!"
"But we need the supply's with out them, Spike and Scootaloo could die!" You argue back breathing heavily.
"I get that but ya not gonna go alone, you're tired and out of breath you need somepony watching your flank. By the way this is me telling you. Rosie ya in charge while im gone" Applebloom stood by your side with her saddle bags on her back waiting for you to teleport away with her.
"You can count on me Applebloom." Rosie Smiles it had been the biggest responsibility Applebloom had given her. Applebloom was always figuratively wrapping everything up in bubble wrap since the death of their parents.
Since you saw no way of winning the argument you decided to give in. "Alright but you better have my back."
"Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cup cake in my eye." Applebloom promised as she did the movements that went with it which made you smile.
"We wont be long." You let the group know as you teleport away leaving the group to look after Spike and Twilight.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
You teleported to the only room you knew was clear in the hospital, Pinkies room. Once you were in the room you turned around to see your Wife still on the bed in the Same position as you left her. Anger boils through your blood as you think about The Master and your revenge. Applebloom gasp as stand's by your side seeing Pinkie For the first time, tears rolled Applebloom face and looks up at you with sorrow in her eyes.
You keep angry face as you feel Applebloom look up at you. "We better get a move on." You growl turning away from the bed.
"If that's what ya wanna do." Applebloom answered not wanting to press you on the matter as she followed behind you.
You peak your head out turning both side's, the corridor was dark and eerily quite and you didn't like it but saw no other option. You gave Applebloom the nod to let her know its all clear but to also be on her guard. Both of you snuck through the hospital looking each and every way, left to right, forward and back, while your horn glowed bright helping you see through the dark. You and Applebloom were both on edge as you could feel the presence of somepony else, but kept going straight ahead not stopping for no pony.
It wasn't long until you found the supply room, Applebloom tried to open the door but found it locked. "Darn it, locked." Applebloom whispered.
"Move out the way." Applebloom did as was told letting you get to the door. You put your horn to the lock of focusing on it until he heard it click letting him know it was open. "Did it."
You and Applebloom rushed into the supply room and shut the door behind them making sure they were safe. Applebloom straight away started scavenging, grabbing boxes of Painkillers and bottles of Hydrogen Peroxide to clean Spikes arm up with. you grabbed hold of blood bag's, iv bags, rolls of bandages, needles and the thread that went with it. Once everything was collected and put in Applebloom saddle bag's they made their way out and headed back.
As you trot out of the Supply room your light goes out from your horn. you try to turn it back on but it wouldn't work. "Come on!" you tap your horn with your hoof as you start getting angry.
"Shhh, keep your voice down" Applebloom whispers while getting worried.
"Sorry but magic isn't working like something is..." You interrupted as your heard very loud hissing coming from behind you. Applebloom and you turn around see hundreds of green light star glowing reviling hundreds of Changeling troops. "LETS GO APPLEBLOOM!" You shout as you start galloping away with Applebloom following closely behind.
Every door you come across you shut behind you in hopes of slowing them down but it didn't work they just kept coming. you could feel your self getting tired, at the moment you were being fuelled by adrenalin and the thought of knowing that if you stopped your best friend will die and his wife. You soon came up to Pinkies room and pushed Applebloom in the room and locked the both of you in.
"Sorry about that, now get on my and we'll fly out of here!" You tell Applebloom while you lower your self so she could jump on
"Wait, why cant we teleport?" Applebloom asks confused.
"Because they Changeling's are blocking my magic, lets go" You answer Quickly as hear the changelings pound the door making you nervous.
"But we cant leave Pinkie here like this, she need's proper burial." Applebloom argued.
Applebloom was right, you could leave you wife like this so you galloped over to her started to flap your wings and picked her up in your fore hooves. You flew out of the hole in the wall but lowered your self so Applejack could get on. "NOW GET MOVING!" As soon Applebloom was on your back, you flew off holding on to Pinkie as tight as you could. You got so far out and you could feel your magic work again and so you teleported back to the farm.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
You make everypony jump as you teleport mid air still flying in the Apple house hold. you stop before crashing into anything, you fly over to the group and lower your self enough so that Applebloom could get off but to but not so far that your hooves didn't touch the floor. You fly over to the arm chair and place Pinkie down so gently. Everypony was now looking at you with sad eyes but you didn't take notice and gave pinkie a kiss on the forehead. "Im sorry." You whispered before going over to Applebloom.
You open Applebloom's saddlebag to pull out the bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide. "We'd better do this now before we leave" You tell Applebloom to which she nod's to in reply.
"How was Everything while we we're gone?" Applebloom asks Rosie
"Quite, too Quite. I think we should get going soon." Rosie Surgusted.
"We will do soon, ya did good though Rosie well done." Applebloom congratulate honestly
Spike was still out could which should make your job easier. you open the bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide and grab hold of Spike's so can start to pour Hydrogen Peroxide on to the wound causing Spike to wake up and scream out loud In pain.
"Spike!" Scootaloo And Twilight shouted simultaneously out fear as Agile and Blazing Diamond watched in silence, scared for their father.
"Its okay Spike, we are cleaning you up buddy, do you hear me Spike!" You ask making Spike nod in reply. "Good, we just cleaned you up now we're gonna stich you up." You let spike know but get no reply.
There was a lot of loose skin around Spike arm where the Master Nightmare had sawed through it. You sew the thread though the needle using your magic to stich up Spike which was difficult with all of the scales that were still attached, it took all your brute strength to stich him up. Once it was done you bandaged him up and washed all the blood that was on your own hooves off.
You trotted back into the front room back to the group. "We should find a Place to Hide, The Master Will soon find out about this place."
Applebloom nodded in agreement "But where?"
The whole room went Silent as Everypony thought about where they could hide. "I know where we could go." Twilight spoke out loud breaking the silence.
"Where?" Everypony asked at once.
"Starlight's old village, Its abandon and we are the only Ponies that know about it!" Twilight explained.
Everypony looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "Sounds like a good plan Mum." Nightfall answered as he hugged his Mum tightly.
"If that's what were doing im gonna need ya Apple Charm, Blazing Diamond, Agile and you Rosie to help me in the kitchen?" Applebloom asks.
"Sure" Apple Charm, Blazing Diamond, Agile and Rosie replied simultaneously and followed Applebloom into the kitchen.
While Applebloom and the others went into the kitchen you replaced Scootaloo's blood bag. "Thank you Anon for everything." Scootaloo smiled up at you.
"Its no problem I know Spike would do the same for me. "You smile back at Scootaloo before turning around Seeing Thorax and Flurry Heart Standing around looking Scared. "How are you two doing?"
"Not good if im honest." Thorax answers bluntly.
"I just want My Mum to be okay." Flurry Began to cry so Thorax put a hoof around her to comfort her.
"Don't worry its gonna be okay, this isn't our first rodeo with evil and I bet it wont be the last." You reassure the pair.
It wasn't long until Applebloom, Apple Charm, Blazing Diamond, Agile, Rosie and Thorax came back and they were all wearing Saddle bag. "Lets go!" Applebloom told you.
"What's in the Bags?" You ask confused.
"Food." Applebloom answered bluntly.
"Smart." you nod your head.
"What do ya wanna do with Pinkie?" Applebloom asks looking at Pinkie with a frown.
"I'll Bury her at the old village for now." You tell Applebloom I serious tone.
"If that's what ya wanna do." You nod in reply wiping away tear causing Applebloom to cuddle you which accepted greatly.
After the hug you Applebloom turn to the group and trot over. Spike was on his daughters back Agile wanted to carry him after every thing that had happened, the same was said for Nightfall he carried Twilight on his back and he wouldn't take no for answer. Just as you teleport away a group of Changeling's break in with The Master following behind them. "NO! THEY GOT AWAY!" In The Masters anger he grabs hold of the nearest Changeling and rip's he's head straight off. "I WANT HIM BACK! HUNT THEM DOWN!"
"YES MASTER!" The squad of Changeling saluted.

Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter VIII. The Bravest Of Them All.
It was night had fallen and everypony got ready for the plan but Spike pulled Ace to One side for a chat for a second. "You better look after my Wife properly." Spike warned putting on a dark tone of voice.
"I will as long as you look after my husband's mother. I personally couldn't care, I don't like what she did to Nightfall, however he seems to care for some reason." Ace warned back not buckling under the pressure.
"How dare you! She is my Sister of course I will protect her and don't you dare insult her again or you will have more then Changelings to worry about!" Smoke blew from Spike nostrils as Warning stood strong.
"Well I do have my Daughter with me, she is my first priority. Just so the were clear?" Ace wasn't backing down he would be intimidated.
"Go try it!" Spike glared daggers at Ace.
"Ya aren't at it again are you two?" Applebloom stood in front Spike Ace pushing them apart with her hooves.
"Nah just a friendly chat is the right Spike?" Ace tone of voice and body had changed completely.
Spike didn't answer but continue to stare daggers at Ace only now starting to make him feel uncomfortable as he saw amount of rage in his glare. Applebloom looked right at Spike's face "Yeah Right, friendly my bare flank. Anyway Spike Scootaloo wants to see you now."
Spike was knocked of his trance at sound of hearing his wife's name be mentioned "What's that?"
"Scootaloo wants to see you now." Applebloom repeats.
"Alright im coming" Spike gives one final glare at Ace before leaving with Applebloom.
You left the house and entered the one next you and made you way up stairs as Applebloom waited down stairs by the door giving Spike and Scootaloo some time alone. Spike open the door and Found Scootaloo sat in the bed her face looking palest has the only light was the fireplace it kept warm glow keeping Scootaloo warm. Scootaloo didn't even look up at Spike, she just stare at the fire a frown on her as plan as day.
Spike sat on the chair next to Scootaloo bed. "Hey good looking, how are you feeling?" Spike spoke softly as looked at his wife.
"You're leaving soon aren't you?" Scootaloo asks sounding weak still staring at the fire.
"Yeah not long now. The rest of them are just making preparations." Spike answered as he brushed her mane with his claws.
Scootaloo turns her face away from looking at the fire to looking at Spike. "This is our last time together."
Spikes face fell "No it isn't, im going to save you. Im getting Twilights old friends back and they will stop The Master and ill get him to tell me the spell that kept him alive so long and then Ill come back and I will save you!"
"I will already be dead by the time you come back with Twilights friends Im on my lest I-V bag and its half gone." Scootaloo looked up at Spike smiling softly.
"No. I will save you. You cant stop me from trying, Because I cant live with out you Scoot." Tears ran down Spikes face as held Scootaloo's hoof.
"Yes. Yes you can Equestria needs it Guardian and so does Agile and Diamond." Scootaloo lead forward as much as she her eyes closed, Spike Met Scootaloo half way and kissed her gently. Spike pulled away his eyes still closed as the pain pierced his heart he knew in that Scootaloo was right, but he wouldn't admit it then all of his hope would be gone.
Spike opened his eyes and Smiles at Scootaloo softly, he got up off f the chair and took his armour off and climbed on to the bed and laid next to his wife probably for the last time. "I love you."
Scootaloo enjoyed the warm embrace of her husband wrapping his arm, tail and wing around her. "I love you too."
Spike smiled as thought about his past with Scootaloo. "Do You remember our first date?"
"How can I forget we sat and Watched the Meteor Shower." Scootaloo thought about that night and smiled. "Everything seemed so much easier back then. No fighting, No war. Just a future with Spike to look forward too. " Scootaloo thought to her self, Then a new thought hit her "Spike?"
"Yeah?" Spike answered content.
"This Master Nightmare is he the reason Behind everything, behind why King Sombra attacked all those years ago?"
"Yeah he is."
"Make him Pay." A tear found its way down her cheek as he thought about the pony who stole her perfect future.
Spike and Scootaloo fell asleep as they held each other Minutes past but it wasn't long until Applebloom entered and work the Pair up "Im Sorry But its time ta go." Spike and Scootaloo looked at each other and frowned before they shared a tender kiss.
Spike got up and put his armour back on, but before he followed Applebloom Spike Walked over to the dresser and pulled out two different family photo's. The First Photo Was taken on Hearts Warming Eve, Spike sat on the sofa with Scootaloo next to him and young Agile and Diamond Blaze sat around as Spike read a story. The second Photo was taken on the day When Agile got her cutie mark, they all stood together happily as family unit.
Spike place the one of photo's on Scootaloo side cabinet and kept the other in his suit of armour. Spike gave Scootaloo one last kiss "I love you." With that said Spike closed the door and left to find Twilight.
"Anon has left its just me and you." Twilight tell Spike as she could hear him making his way over.
"Okay" Twilight could tell he was sad but didn't want to press him on it yet.
"Well, you ready?"
"As ill ever be." Spike answers, he could care less as all of his thoughts were on Scootaloo
"Then lets go." Spike Teleported away
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Vanhoover was the only city that wasn't under King Sombra's mind control. the entire city had been turned into a factory build weapons and making medicine. Snow had began to fall and everypony and Changeling had been pulled out of the warmth and ordered to stand out side in the middle of the city late this night by orders of Lord Tirek. Everypony look forward towards the stage as nine special Changeling Troop's stood behind Lord Tirek. Everypony and Changeling that stood in front of Lord Tirek feared his gaze, all of the ponies preyed for King Spike return soon. In hearts of everypony around Equestria they knew their King would return but it was a matter of staying alive until he returned.
"Two years ago two ponies were spotted stealing medical supplies! They were believed to be apart of King Spike little rebellion!" As soon as Tirek mentioned Spike whispers went through the crowd as well as hope filled their heads.
"QUITE!!!! Now I know that news of this nature would fill you with... Hope. Which would lead some of you to aid them in gaining their supply's! But I a sure you that King Spike will not win he has no chance of succeeding! That leads me to my offer! Who ever aided these criminal's will have a free pardon if they tell me the whereabouts of Spikes hide out is!" This lead all of the ponies to start whispering yet again to quickly stopping not wanting to anger Lord Tirek. "You have an hour and if no pony comes forward I will move on to torturing each and every citizen of Vanhoover. You may leave until I call you back in an hour. oh and if any of you are think of running away there is shield over the entire city." Tirek left the stage with the nine Changeling following behind him.
Tirek bowed his head as he walked into the tent the nine changeling followed and close the tent behind them "Well lets contact him." Tirek told the nine Changelings sounding impatient.
The changelings Placed four stones on the table they looked Beatles. The magic began to work the stone wings open revealing green magic from inside connecting from one stone the other making the Shape of a square that combined together to make a portal. The Master Nightmare's face appeared on the Portal causing Tirek and the nine Changeling. "Status update?"
Tirek stood up straight and looked at the master straight in the face. "We are now in Vanhoover. I just gave the offer to the ponies now we wait for Somepony to come forward and if they don't I will to torture as many ponies in front of the others until somepony will admit to the aid of the criminals."
"Good, good. No Pony or Drake will stop me I will rule forever as it was meant to be balance is-." The Master was interrupted as Changeling trooper spoke from out side.
"My Lord we have somepony here willing to give the whereabouts of Spike location!" The pony in question stood next the trooper frightened out her mind.
Lord Tirek opened the tent to let the mare In; he welcomed her in with a warm smile which did not suit his face at all he opened the tent wide letting her in, she nervously trotted into the tent. Once The mare stepped in her eyes went wide in fear as she saw the was on the portal, Tirek got a chair and placed it behind her letting sit down.
"Don't be Scared my dear, in fact be proud you are helping your kingdom to stop these criminals from hurting anypony else. Now tell us your name?" Master Nightmare spoke kindly letting the mare fall into a false sense of security.
"Im R-Ruby Snow Master Nightmare." Ruby looked up at the Master
"Well Ruby, I have to go Something has happened in Ponyville. I will leave this your Capable hooves Tirex."
"Yes of course my Master" The Master left leaving Tirek and the Nine Changeling's to talk to Ruby Snow. "Now where were we."
Ruby told Tirek everything from how she helped the You and Applebloom enter the hospital and get the supplies to where your base is she even showed them on a map so that they could get there. "That's all I know. You promise me and my foal will be safe?"
"But of course." Tirek answered which made Ruby take sigh of relief "Your foal will be taken by troops and will become the best soldier for Master Nightmares personal army. But your not so lucky." Tirek took the earth ponies magic then snapped her neck. "Come on we have a drake to catch."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Spike and Twilight sat waiting on the out skirts of Ponyville a top of a hill and waited for the distraction to happen. Twilight frowned as she heard nothing Spike didn't say a thing, Twilight could feel an atmosphere and it wasn't to do with the job.
"Spike!" Twilight called out unsure if Spike was still there.
"Yeah Twilight im still here, I haven't gone anywhere." Spike reassured Twilight as he continued to look out over Ponyville.
"Your awfully quite is there something you wanna talk about?" Twilight asks concerned as she put on her sisterly tone on.
"No Twilight I don't want to talk about it." Spike pulls out the photo of his Family and kiss the image of Scootaloo. "Miss you baby. " Spike thought as he Pictured Scootaloo in his head.
"Are you sure?" Twilight asks once more but before Spike could answer, Twilight hears Massive explosion off in the distance.
"Nightfall did it. He wiped out a few trees as well and started a fire as well, it'll create quite the distraction." Spike Watched Ponyville as hundreds Changeling's head towards the explosion. "Its time, come on."
Spike help Twilight down the hill making sure she didn't loose a hoofing and fall down hurting her self. Spike and Twilight rushed to the closest house hiding out the way of the Changelings. With every opening Spike helped Twilight move to each house dodging out the of Changelings that's came past. The castle was far now Spike was just waiting for an opening, but time was getting on and the guards outside the Castle wasn't moving So Spike picked up a rock and threw it at a bin on the opposite side. The rock gave them enough time that They made their way behind the castle. Spike helped Twilight to the right place to stand so she could open the door to the secret passage.
"Ready?" Spike asks.
"Ready!" Twilight aimed her horn at the wall and shot purple magic revealing a door the secret Passage.
"That's it lets go." Spike opened the door finding dark Stairs leading down. "Well this looks inviting, maybe you should fly down Twi so you don't hurt your self?"
"That's Probably for the best." Twilight agreed and started to flap her wings.
Spike entered first, Twilight followed behind but not forgetting to close the door behind them. Spike lit every torch he came across with his mouth. "Spike we will save Scootaloo." Twilight reassured Spike.
"Lets just focus on the mission." Spike blank Twilight and Continued their way down until they entered pitch black room.
Spike ignited all of the torches revealing the room to be completely bare accept for the mirror with a book on top. Twilight and Spike stood in front of the mirror. "Shell we?" Twilight asks getting into a running stance.
"Lets do it!" Both Twilight and Spike run into the Mirror entering the portal.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Nightfall had teleported back to the village after helping Twilight and Spike to help his husband keep their daughter and his aunt alive. Ace turned around to see Nightfall behind him, Ace was over joyed to see him alive he galloped over to Nightfall and kissed him passionately. A few minutes passed before Ace had to pull away needing air.
"How'd it go?" Ace asks pulling Nightfall into a deep hug.
"Went well, I knocked a couple of trees down may have started a fire I don't know, I didn't stay long. How's it been here?" Nightfall asks as Ace lets go.
"Quite, she hasn't made a noise and Crimson is a sleep in the other room." Ace answered sounding bored.
"Im just gonna check on them." Nightfall says opening the door behind him.
"Be my guest." Ace answers as he sits down in on the sofa yawning.
Little did they know Tirek and nine Changelings had just arrived out side the Village. "That Mare was lying there's nothing here!" One of the Changelings growled in anger.
Tirek Smiled as saw the magic that was be use. "Oh my short sighted friend, you just don't see it." a fire ball appeared between Tirek's horns suddenly a laser was produced by the ball which destroyed the shield with a loud smash revealing the village, Tirek Smiled at his success. "Search every house!"
Nightfall and Ace watched from the window in horror. "Time to go, Ace you get Crimson and ill get Scootaloo." Ace nodded in reply and galloped off to get Crimson while Nightfall galloped off to get Scootaloo.
Nightfall barged into Scootaloo's room. "Time to go Auntie." Nightfall began packing up quickly.
"Yes it is and your leaving me behind." Scootaloo told nightfall with a serious tone.
"What why?" Nightfall stopped packing to look at Scootaloo.
"Im dying and Spike wont be able to Keep me alive forever. I can at least delay them." Scootaloo answered.
"For what reason?" Nightfall asks as Ace enters the room.
"They will want to know where the others have gone and if can send them in the wrong direction instead of them waiting here to ambush Anon and Spike." Scootaloo answers.
"She cant be serious, were not leaving her on her alone." Ace asks as feared Spike reaction.
"Yes Ace It looks like we are." Nightfall trotted Past Ace angrily over to Scootaloo giving her a light hug to which She gratefully accepted. Nightfall pulled away from the hug to Pull out a knife from his saddle bag to give to Scootaloo. "If their gonna kill you? Kill them first." Nightfall planted a kiss on Scootaloo's cheek as well as wiping a few tears and mad his way over to Ace and Crimson Who was still a Sleep on Ace's back.
"What do we tell Spike?" Ace asks as Nightfall stands next to him.
"Tell him I love him and stop being a cry baby you have Equestria to think about." Scootaloo smirked
"Thank you Aunt Scoot." Nightfall smiled sadly.
"Heh no problem, now get going?" Scootaloo glared at them until Nightfall Teleported with his family.
Scootaloo laid waiting and it wasn't long until she hears the Changelings enter the house Scootaloo's heart almost stopped. Scootaloo reached over to the photo that Spike had placed on the bed stand and kisses the image of Spike Goodbye. "If im gonna die, im gonna die fighting." Scootaloo hid the knife under the blankets.
A Changeling open the door finding Scootaloo in side. "Sir in here!"
Tirek entered the room and gave an evil Grin when he saw Scootaloo. "Hello your Highness!"

I think I speak for you readers when say oh shit! (btw yes the chapter name is about Scootaloo)
Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter IX. Old Friends New Teammates
Chapter IX. Old Friends New Teammates
It had started to snow, you and Applebloom lead The Equestria Defenders through the Everfree heading towards the Tree of Harmony, Well That's what Twilight told you anyway. Twilight didn't tell you much you wished she had told you more. "Go towards the old castle, then turn left by thirty hooves and then forwards, you cant miss it! Be on your guard you might have trouble! " That was all you could remember Twilight saying and You had been and done the thirty hooves turn and now it had felt like you been trotting forever and your hooves were starting to hurt and it was tiring wearing the armour for so long. You Look over to Applebloom and She seemed fine and she was carrying her saddle bags but then again it didn't surprise you, Applebloom worked on the Apple farm all her life this walk was a breeze for her.
Seeing that Applebloom was okay you turned around to look at the rest of the team. With no real surprise Apple Charm and Thorax fine but Blazing, Agile and Princess Flurry were looking tired as well. But Flurry Heart look like she had something on her mind which made you worried. Seeing how long you had been trotting for and the rest of the Teams face's, you decide now is best time to rest.
"But hon- I mean Anon do you think that's wise?" Applebloom asks sounding worried.
"Just Look at everypony!" You pointed your hoof towards Blazing Diamond, Agile and Flurry Heart, they had all sat down shearing the water that Agile took with her as well as her trusty sword.
"Perhaps your right. Flurry aint looking so happy either?" Applebloom looked at Flurry heart with worry.
"Don't worry ill talk to her." You tell Applebloom with your hoof on her shoulder before trotting over to talk with Flurry.
You made your way over to Flurry Heart she sat Tree log alone for some reason you could not understand, but you could hear tears as you got closer. "Flurry, are you okay?"
Flurry Heart wipes the tears from her eyes quickly and Turned around with a fake smile that wasn't fooling anypony. "Yeah im great." You stayed silent and gave her a look let her know she wasn't fooling you. "Fine! Im afraid that when I finally I go home, Mum wont be there!"
You sit down next Flurry Heart as she frowns looking at the floor "Now if I Know your Mum, which I do, I know for a fact she'll be fine. Knowing Cadence she be safe somewhere hide it out until we do something."
"You think so?" your mouth went dry as you looked into Flurry Heart's eyes seeing only hope.
"I know so." You lied knowing that Cadence could well be dead or worse.
Apple Charm trotted over to Agile and sat next to her on the log. Agile leaned against Apple Charm resting her head against her. "You are really out of Shape. Im Gonna have to put you through your paces when get back." Apple Charm whispered into Agile ear making her shiver in delight.
"I think I Like the sound of that." Agile lightly kiss Apple Charm on her lips Making her smile.
Blazing looked over at Thorax and thought ran through his and now seemed like the best time to ask. "Thorax?"
"Yeah?" Thorax looked up.
"Why don't you try to talk to the other Changeling's and try to show them a better way to live?" Blazing asks sounding intrigued.
"Well every time I tried they hissed at me and called me a Traitor and then tried to kill me. So I gave up, they wouldn't listen to reason and there was nothing I could do." Thorax answered.
"Well at least you tried." Blazing patted Thorax on the shoulder.
You was about to call Applebloom over bu loud Explosion happens making your head Snap in that direction. you saw Nightfall standing in the middle of the destruction, he soon teleported away happy with his work. Your eyes go wide as you remember his part of the plan.
Everypony else was standing next you looking in the same direction. "Come on that's our cue to go! The Changeling army along with Discord will be here soon, come on, let's go!"
Applebloom lead the group while you stayed behind making sure no pony was left behind. It wasn't long until you heard the hoof steps of the Changeling army behind you "STOP! CRIMINALS!"
You look behind your self as you continue running seeing at least twenty Changeling's on your tail. you stop and running and use your magic to bring a tree down landing on the changelings killing them. You smile and turn around to catch up with the others, it wasn't long since you met them at the destination. You trot past the others to stand next to Applebloom, you look down the massive hole in the floor seeing stairs leading to cave.
"Im guessing that's where this, er tree is." Applebloom didn't quite understand the plan but she put her faith in Twilight knowing that she wouldn't let her down.
"It Looks like it, we'd better be quick about it we have Changeling's not far from us." Applebloom looks at you and nods in agreement before leading the team down the steps with you following behind.
But when it came to cave you entered first making sure it was safe with Applebloom and the team following behind this time. You soon found the tree, it wasn't hard to miss, a massive white tree stood in front of you with white balls hanging off every branch. The Elements of Harmony were imbedded in the tree dotted around. Your horn lit up as you pulled out The Elements out of the tree into Applebloom Saddle bags. The Elements were easily pulled out of their slots with no resistance like they knew that they were needed.
"Now lets go back" You tell Applebloom seeing that all the elements were in the bag.
"Not so fast now." You look towards the entrance seeing Discord smiling his trademark toothy grin surrounded by Changelings.
"Discord!" You take defensive stance in front of your team, as Agile pulled her sword from her sheath.
"So the Great Anon is it? the Human turned male Alicorn, a first for Equestria. A true wonder for this world." You stare at Discord he hasn't done and any of his chaos Magic yet. he's just stood there and watch, you notice he wore a sword just like Agile's.
"Agile get everypony out of here!" You order Agile as test out your theory.
"But.-"
"That's an order, get going now!" You shout.
"Yes, yes sir" Agile puts her sword away and gathers everypony around and a blink of an eye they were gone.
You look Discord oddly he hasn't even moved. "You don't have your chaos magic do you?" You ask feeling smug.
"Nope I just have normal unicorn magic, I lost my Chaos magic when The Master brought me back from the dead." Discord frowned and stared at the floor, he was a former shadow of himself; you could tell he didn't want to do this.
"Well I guess we must draw sword since we are matched in magic powers." Using your magic you pull out your sword from your sheath and point it towards Discord as does the same back at you.
You both simultaneously run at each other coming towards the middle your swords hit each other at great ferocity. The Changelings crowed around as you and Discord battle it out. Left to right, right to left, back and forth, forth and back your swords hit each other as dance around each other locked in battle. You jump over discord with the help of your wings trying to get one over him but his tail flick you into the wall.
"Just Shake it off Anon, its only your bones, organs and Mussels." you tell your self as the pain in your entire body hurts as you get up. You look over at discord he's Fiddling with sword on the ground waiting for you, he could care less about the fight. You limp of to discord as you could feel one of your hooves were sprained, you throw your sword to wards discord dropping in front of him. "I surrender."
"Why? You do know if you were to teleport away now I wont stop you." Discord looks at you with confusion.
"Well why don't you want to fight? Your the bad guy?" You ask confused, with what knowledge you had on Discord you knew him to be a bad guy.
"Lets just say me and Celestia, we we're more then friends and I was a better back then, better then what I am meant to be now, so go just make it look good." Discord winks at you. "I told you silly pony, nothing can withstand the power of the Discord."
You suddenly catch on to what discord was and you grabbed hold of your sword pretended to knock Discord down and teleport away. Discord Smiles a slight bit at you remind Discord of Twilight a slight bit, Discord fakes a frown as the changeling make their way over to aid him.
"My Lord are you okay?" The changeling trooper ask worried.
"Get off me!" Discord growled " I must report this to Master Nightmare immediately, he will not be happy!" Discord gets up and walks out of the cave with the Changelings.

Twilight and Spike have just fallen out of the portal and they are having to hold them selves back from being sick. Twilight brought her hands to her mouth as she could feel her self about throw up, Spike was the same bring his paw to his mouth. They stayed the on the snow cover path waiting for the feeling to go.
"I swear it never use to be that bad." Twilight opened her eyes hoping she could be able to see and sighed in defeat when she found out she still couldn't See. "Its so cold, Where are you Spike?" Twilight wrapped her arms around her self for warmth as a guest of wind blew snow at her direction.
"Im here Twilight! We better get going or were gonna freeze to death out here" Spike stood on his three paws and tried to walk but fell over instead. "Twilight can you put me in your Bag, I cant walk properly."
"Sure." Twilight bent down with her hands held out for Spike to jump into. "We gonna need to talk to Fluttershy as well I have a plan." Once Twilight felt Spike she put him in the bag behind her. "Its probably best if you were in my bag any why I cant see where im going, you gonna have to give me directions." And Spike did just that all the way to Sugar Cube Corner.
Twilight opens the doors to the café feeling the warmth from inside Twilight breathed into her hands and rubbing them together trying to warm her self up from the cold outside.
"Twilight!" Pinkie shouted in delight see her friend at the entrance, She hopped over the counter pushing past customer to get to twilight Pulling her into a deep hug.
"Hi... Pinkie, Its... g-good to, to see you." Twilight struggled to breath as Pinkie hugged her tightly.
"Oopsie Sorry." Pinkie realized she was hugging Twilight too tightly and put her down.
"That's okay, no harm done." Twilight Smiled, it was nice change of pace from what was going on at home in Equestria.
Pinkie looks straight at Twilight seeing her eyes completely white it horrified the pink girl "Twilight! what Happened to your eyes?"
"Ill tell you in a minute can I get a hot coco and can you bring the others here we need your girls help!" Twilight look at Pinkie seriously which Pinkie understood with a nod.
"Sure Thing Twilight ill be right back" Pinkie Rushed into the Kitchen while Spike Directed Twilight to an empty Table to sit and wait at. Twilight took off her back and to the table in front of her so Spike could get out. "Tell me if im wrong but Pinkie still seems to be young?"
"Yeah she is, its like we haven't been away long" Spike frowns confused.
"Well I still don't know how the Portal works so it may not be long from when we left." Twilight explains.
"Im just glad Anon isn't here. I don't think he would of be able to see Pinkie like that." Spike frowns at the thought of Pinkie and Anon.
Twilight nods in agreement. "Its best he's in back in Equestria."
A thought pops in to Spikes head to which he must know the answer to. "Twilight?"
"Yeah, Spike?"
"Why do you need to Talk to Fluttershy?" Spike asked turn his head to the side.
"Don't you worry it'll beneficial." Twilight Smiled.
Soon Pinkie Came over with a Hot Chocolate with marshmallows for Twilight and Bowl of warm Milk for Spike she placed both of them on the table next to Spike. "Here you go and I've phoned the others for ya. they'll be here in a minute." Pinkie say cautiously.
"Thanks Pinkie" Twilight carefully put out her arms searching the table for her Hot Chocolate. It wasn't until Spike push the drink forward with his nose, that she finally found it.
Pinkie watched as Spike went back to drinking his milk that she had laid out for him. Pinkie notice the missing leg and giant Scratch over Spike's eye. "What's happened to you both."
Spike looks a Pinkie Pie. "A lot has happened since we saw you last and don't worry we're gonna tell you it all when the others get here."
"I do hope so I don't like Waiting." Pinkie frowned disappointed, crossing her arms.
Twilight took the cup away from her putting it on the table "That reminds me, how long has it been since we left?"
Pinkie looked up in the corner of her eye with her finger on the bottom of her lip, thinking. "Hmm, about a year, give or take. Why? How long has been for you?"
"About Twenty years I think im not so sure." Spike told Pinkie bluntly still drinking his milk.
"WHAT?!" Pinkie shouted in shock.
"Calm down we'll tell you everything when the others get here." Pinkie nodded in agreement.
Soon all of their friends arrived one by one, each of them wore the same expression on their faces and asked the same questions when they saw Twilight. But Still Twilight wouldn't say anything until Everyone had arrived she didn't want to keep saying the same thing over and over again.
"Who we waiting for?" Twilight ask after Finishing her hot Chocolate.
"Rainbow and the other Twilight, they should be here soon." Just as Sunset had said that Rainbow, Twilight, Spike and Scootaloo came through the doors. "they here." Sunset waved them over.
"So What's the-" Rainbow stopped talking out of shock as she saw Twilight and Spike. "-Emergency?"
"Twilight what happened to you?" Scootaloo asks making Spike turn around at the sound of her voice.
Spike hobbled over to Scootaloo as Quick as he could Making her look at Spike. "Hi Scoot."
"Spike What happened to you leg and your eye?" Scootaloo ask worried.
"Twilight will tell you, could I have a cuddle?" Spike put on his best puppy dog eyes, Spike hadn't lost his touch.
"Sure." Scootaloo picked Spike up and held him close to her chest, to which Spike enjoyed and nuzzled up to her slowly falling off to sleep.
"Scootaloo why don't you take both Spikes over there while Twilight tells us what's happened." Applejack Points over to a sofa in the corner.
"Fine. Come on Spike." Scootaloo calls the other Spike over as she walks over to the sofa.
"Coming!" Spike runs after the Scootaloo and the other Spike.
"We are all here Twi, now what's happened in Equestria?" Sunset asks.
Twilight began her story from the very beginning back when Celestia was killed to when Rarity started killing ponies to now. Twilight went through the main story of the Battles, deaths and what was happing right now. Twilight didn't want to over load them on information. She could only imagine their shocked and horrified face's.
"Well there you go that's What's My life has been like." Silence filled their corner of the café as the others didn't know what to say it was a lot to take in at once. "Please someone Say something?" Twilight couldn't stand the silence since she couldn't see.
Soon Twilight felt arms wrap round her as her friends group hug her. It wasn't a hug of joy more a hug of sorrow, Twilight began to hear sob before hearing apologies from each of her friends. The hug lasted a good few minutes before each friend pulled away wiping their eyes with their shirts.
Sunset was the first to speak "Im so sorry I wasn't there to help you Twilight. I should of be there and I wasn't I could of helped and I wasn't there, im so sorry Twilight im sorry."
"Its not your fault Sunset, there wasn't anything you could of done. Don't blame your self." Twilight told Sunset trying to sound strong yet caring.
"I cant believe I could do something like that." Rarity was horrified by the actions of her double.
"It wasn't you Rare's we know ya wouldn't do that." Applejack looked Rarity smiling reassuring her. Making the others agree in unison.
"Thank you, it was just a bit of shock to hear, you know." Rarity Smiled glad she had such great friends.
"Um Princess is there anything we can do to help?" Twilight's human double asks.
"Im glad you asked that me because I came here with a plan and I need you all. But before I tell you it's going to be dangerous, deadly dangerous." Twilight warned.
"We want to help, what is it?" Rainbow asks with her usual gusto.
"I need you to come back with me to Equestria to use the Elements of Harmony on The Master stopping him for good." Twilight answers.
Silence came once more as each of them looked at each other and nodded in agreement. "We're in Twilight!" Sunset answered.
"Wait just like that? This is gonna be dangerous!" Twilight argued out of shock that her friends are so willing to go at the drop of a hat.
"Like that has ever stopped us before darling. You have risked your self saving this world so many times before, its about time we helped saved yours." Rarity argued back.
"Thank you so much I don't know what to say." Twilight wiped away the tears that had started to form around her eyes.
"I do lets go!" Rainbow said with a smile.
"No, not yet I need to talk to ask Fluttershy something first?"
"Yes Twilight?" Fluttershy smiled warmly not that Twilight could see it anyway.
"Your Dad fits fake legs onto animals doesn't he?" Twilight asks not sure.
"Yeah... he does." Fluttershy answered not wanting to correct her friend who had already gone through so much.
"Do you think he could do Spike?"
"Yeah he could do him now. My Dad hasn't had any work lately, but it will take all day and you wouldn't be able to collect him until tomorrow." Fluttershy frowned.
"That's fine. we can take a day away from the mess in Equestria." Twilight smiled she was quite happy to get away for a day. "We'd better get Spike over and let him know the good news."
"Sure ill go get him." Fluttershy stood up and left to get Scootaloo and both Spikes.
"I know what your doing Twilight." Sunset Told Twilight with a confident tone.
"You do?"
"Your hoping if Spike gets a metal leg here then when we go through the portal he'll have a metal claw as a Dragon, but its highly unlikely it would work." Sunset Warned Twilight.
"Well I've gotta try, he's gone through so much and everything he does is for everyone else he is so selfless, he doesn't even ask for anything in return. If there's anything I can do to help him then im gonna do it with no hesitation ." Twilight spoke with so much determination in her voice.
Fluttershy was back with Scootaloo and the Spike's "So what happing?" Spike asks while yawning he had just woken up from his nap.
"Well everyone has agreed to help you fight The Master."
"Really! thank you im going too need all the help I can get."
"No problem your Highness." Sunset smiled at Spike.
Twilight frowned she didn't know how he would take the next news "But we wont be going back to Equestria to day."
"Why not, we cant stay, they need us now. Equestria needs us now." Spike protested.
"I know they do but hear me out first." Spike remained Quite letting Twilight talk. "Well I have plan to get you new arm, Fluttershy's Dad puts metal legs on pets who have lost their own legs. And I was think he could fix you up a new leg and when you came out of the portal on the other side you would have a brand new metal claw! What do you think?" Twilight swallowed a lump in her throat as nerves filled her body.
"Well its crazy! but its so crazy that it might just work!" Twilight smiled as she reached her arms out for Spike to placed in them.
"We'd better get going then." Twilight gave Spike a quick hug before putting him in her bag and stood up with the help of her friends.
"Wait! Before we go." Pinkie rushed off up stairs quickly. It wasn't long before Pinkie came back down wearing big pink fluffy coat as well as bringing one down for Twilight to wear. Pinkie Took Spike and the bag off of Twilights back so she could put the coat around Twilight. "There all toasty and warm."
"Thanks Pinkie." Twilight hugged the pink girl lightly.
"No Problem Twilight." Pinkie put the bag back on twilights back.
"Spike why don't you stay in the bag and Keep warm, the girls will help." Twilight suggests.
"Yeah alright I could do with nap right now." Since the Master had taken over Spike hadn't been sleeping that well, now was good time for some well need rest.
Once Pinkie Zipped up the bag they left Scootaloo behind in Sugar Cube Corner and made their way through the snow, it was worse then before. The winds had picked up and the Snow was coming down harder, but they still pushed on through. they would not let any thing get in the way of their goals especially the weather. After what had felt like hour of walking in the Snow, the girls make it to the vets where Fluttershy's Dad worked. After shake all the snow of them Fluttershy walked up to the receptionist and asked for Dad.
"Sure Fluttershy, I'll just go get him." The woman left to go get Fluttershy's Dad.
While they waited for Fluttershy's Dad they sat down in the waiting room give Twilight time to get Spike out. "Come on Spike time to wake up." Twilight could hear his light snores.
"I don't snore like that. Do I?" Spike's double asks.
Human Twilight giggled while adjusting her glasses. "Maybe a little."
"Spike Scootaloo's need's you!" Twilight felt bad about tricking Spike like this but it was the only why she knew to awake him up.
Soon Spike's eyes went and he got up immediately looking around him. "Scootaloo!" Spike frowned when found that he was still in the Human world.
"Im sorry but you wasn't waking up and I need to talk to you." Twilight apologise.
"What. What do you want?" Spike asks with a clear tone of anger.
"Sorry but when Fluttershy's dad comes you need to act like a normal dog, okay? Twilight felt awful about using Scootaloo like that.
It wasn't long until Fluttershy's Dad arrived "Well this is unexpected pleasure, what brings you here?"
Fluttershy smiled warmly as her Dad kissed her on the cheek. "Well my friend Twilight's dog got into a fight with some nasty dogs and he lost a leg." Twilight Stood next to Fluttershy carrying Spike.
"I see, well lets have a look at him." Mr shy Spike up looking at his missing leg. "Yes he does look quite bad."
"Will you be able to help him sir?" Twilight asks worried. "Ill pay as much as I need to."
"Now, Now don't you fret. I can help him just come back tomorrow morning to collect him and don't worry about pay call it an early Christmas present." Mr Shy Smiled.
"Thank you so much sir." Twilight felt relived that he was able to help Spike.
"Thank you Daddy." Fluttershy hugged her father tightly.
"Its no problem, now get going so I can get to Work." Mr Shy Smiled.
Twilight said her good byes to Spike and left with her friends knowing he was in good hands. Twilight was in deep thought she had just hopped that this would all be worth all this work. She also hopped that her family back home is safe, Twilight kind felt bad about not coming back straight away but if there was a small possibility get Spikes arm back then it was worth it.
"So how about a Sleep over at Mine?" Sunset asked to which everyone agreed to. "Alright then lets go."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Twilight sat on Sunset's bed wearing one of Sunset spear pyjamas. Sunset sat next to twilight as the others called their parents asking if they could sleep round Sunsets.
"I've Gotta ask, did Celestia Suffer?" Sunset asks frowning.
Twilight frowned as well she didn't know weather to lie or tell the truth, she didn't want to hurt her friend. in the end Twilight thought that Sunset deserved to know the truth, She was Celestia's first student it seemed only right. "Im sorry but, King Sombra cut her throat open."
A tear fell from Sunset as she heard about her teacher being brutally murdered. "Why didn't she fight back?" Sunset had to fight back from bursting into tears.
"She, she was really sick and her powers were weak, She couldn't fight back." Twilight bowed head feeling awful.
"So there was no there for her?" Sunset began to sound angry.
"Actually when she died, Discord went to avenge her death but also died in the process. I think they were a couple but they kept it secret though." Twilight Smiled at the thought of Celestia being with Discord.
It gave Sunset some comfort knowing someone had Celestia's back; that she wasn't totally alone. But before Sunset could ask Twilight any more questions the rest of her friends came in making Sunset Wiper her eye's dry.
"Our parents have said its cool." Rainbow told Sunset as the others nodded in agreement.
"Great what should we do?" Sunset asks.
"How about bottle flips!" Pinkie suggested. "Then we can do Spin the bottle!"
Everyone seemed to like that idea. "I'll just go get a bottle." Applejack offered, but before she left Applejack had an idea "Sunset. Do you have any booze?"
"Yeah lots, why do ask?" Sunset looked at Applejack oddly.
"Well I don't know about you but I think the Princess could do with a drink." Applejack looked over at Twilight, she stayed silent but instead she nodded, Twilight couldn't agree more if she tried.
"I most certainly agree Applejack, the Princess needs to cut loose darling." Rarity added on.
"its all in the fridge in the basement, Ill come with you and help bring them up." Sunset got up and walked with Applejack to the basement.
"Alright! this sleep over just became twenty percent cooler." Rainbow exclaimed with her fist in the air.
"Um even I got admit this sounds like a lot of fun. if that's ok, that is." Fluttershy smiled warmly.
It felt weird to Twilight hearing the voices of all her dead friends. Twilight had mourned each of her friend, she had been there at every single one of their funerals and yet she was going to be sitting down and playing game of bottle flips. Her mind was telling her it was wrong to play a game with friends doubles, while her heart was telling her to let go and enjoy to night. It wasn't long until she listened to heart, it had been a long time since she had fun and she missed her friend there was no real harm in it. All Twilight want was to have a good time with her friends and she had feeling it was going to be a good night.
Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter X. An Unlikey Alliance.
You Arrive back at Starlight's village from teleporting away from the battle with Discord. You find Applebloom talking with The Equestria Defenders , that was until she saw you and ended up galloping towards you kissing you deeply. Applebloom pulled away smiling up at you, she had look of relief on her face.
"Im so happy your alive." Applebloom blushed as suddenly remembered Everypony else was watching.
You smile at shake your head laughing lightly to yourself. "Well it looks like we have an unexpected ally."
Watching Applebloom beautiful smile turn into a sad frown that almost broke your heart. "That good because we have a big problem."
"Why, what's happened?" You put hoof on her cheek.
"The Changeling's were here and." Applebloom burst into tears, she couldn't bring her self to finish the sentence
You Bring Applebloom into a deep hug trying to calm her down "Shhh, tell me what's happened?" You spoke as softly as you could.
Agile was in floods of tears while Apple Charm did her best calm her down. Blazing Diamond stared blankly at the floor in shock.
Nightfall and Ace trotted forward. "Scootaloo's gone!" Nightfall and Ace looked at each other in fear, they we're scared of your reaction.
The shock its your system first making your go wide but soon anger took over. You carefully hand Applebloom over to her daughter as you calmly walk over to Ace. You smile making ace relax before hitting Ace in the jaw making him hit the snow hard. Nightfall was about to stop you until Agile and Diamond held him back given you the space to teach Ace a lesson for letting their Mum die. Ace putt had to his muzzle, he looked down seeing blood on his hoof then back up at you with anger. But before Ace could get back to retaliate, you turn around giving him a hard buck to the Stomach push him across the ground his back landed into a wall of a house.
"YOU HAD ONE JOB! PROTECT SCOOTALOO AT ANY COST!" Your voice was filled with anger, rage and passion.
Ace got up feeling like he had just been hit by a train at full speed, his stomach hurt like hell but he wasn't gonna let you get away without standing his ground at least. "You wanna go! then come on! show me what you got!"
"Oh ill show you." You mumble to your self as you gallop at Ace, at speed that Applejack would be proud of.
"NO! STOP!" Nightfall shouted as she tried to get out Shindig tight grip.
"Get him Anon!" Agile cheer on in anger while Apple Charm pulled her back
You charge at Ace hoping knock him off his hooves, But unfortunately Ace was expecting that and dodged out of the way while kicking out delivering a Blow to your side making you skid across the snow. Your hooves instantly go to your side, the pain was strong but it wasn't going to stop you. While you we're down Ace tries to jump on but you grab hold of him with magic and throw him into a window house. You got up as you still holding your side you grabbed hold of Ace again and pulled him out of the and threw back over to the others.
Agile and Blazing finally let go of Nightfall letting him go to his husband, Ace was covered in cuts, scratches and bruises. You finally calmed down and saw the extent of your damage on Ace, you felt bad, annoyed and angry at your self for letting get that bad. You decided to go into one of the house to be alone.
"Anon!" Applebloom called out trying to get you to come back.
"Its okay, ill go." Shindig made her way after you.
As soon as Shindig was in the house called for you. "Leave me alone!" Shindig followed the sound of your voice up stairs. Shindig found you sitting in the corner of in the same room that Scootaloo was kept in. You stared at the bed not even looking at your daughter as she entered the room. A million thoughts ran through your head as you stared at the bed you just didn't know what was going to come out first. "I should of stayed." You said out loud.
"You had your orders!" Shindig argued.
"I know, but maybe if I had surgusted staying then maybe she would be alive."
"You wasn't to know and it wasn't your fault it was Ace's" Shindig put a hoof on your shoulder trying to comfort you. "it was his job to protect Scootaloo and he failed!"
"I know but I went to far on him."
"No you didn't, he's got a few scratches and nothing more that's it! This just means you have more Ponies to deal out revenge for."
You smile up at Shindig knowing she right. "You know you get all this optimism from your mother."
Shindig Smiled sadly. "I know."
You pull Shindig over giving her a kiss on the forehead and hugging her tightly.
"Anon!" Two voice called out.
"In here!" You reply letting go of Shindig
Agile and Blazing Diamond enter the room, their eyes were all red from where they had been crying "We just wanted to thank you for supporting our family. It means a lot." Blazing began to start crying again.
"It was nothing. your Dad has been the best friend I could of asked for. And your Mum was... is quite an amazing Mare." You Smile softly at the pair. "Im jut afraid of what your Dad is going to do, when Finds out."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Sunset awoke to a massive hangover her head felt like it was going to explode, she tried to get up something or someone held on tightly and wouldn't let her get up. Sunset fear who she had slept with last night, she turned her head slowly to find Princess Twilight next to her.
"Oh no." Sunset whispered.
Twilight grinned at hearing Sunsets reaction. "Morning Sunny."
Sunsets sat up her eyes go wide hear Twilights "How long have you been awake for?"
"An Hour." Twilight answered casually.
"You Don't seem to have an hang over, so... do you mind refreshing my mind."
"Of course, the long and the short of it is... we're engaged!"
"What!" Sunset freaked out.
Twilight giggled at Sunset reaction "Just kidding, every one had left to go sleep in the front room and you we're... Quite drunk and instead I stayed here so you could make feel good for night. Well that's what you said any way." Twilight Smiled sitting up.
"Oh Celestia, Im so sorry Twilight." Sunset hid behind her hands.
"Why? it was Pretty good for one night stand." Twilight elbow Sunset inside smiling defusing the atmosphere."Now could you help find me my clothes and help me to the Bathroom? I wanna get washed be before I do any thing else."
"Sure" Sunset looked all around here room picking up all of Twilights clothes and giving to her before helping her to the Bathroom.
"Thanks Sunset." Twilight Closed the door letting Sunset go back to her room so she could put on a new fresh clothes and head down Stairs.
Sunset found everyone in the kitchen already eating breakfast, She greeted everyone in her normal manner sitting at the table hopping she wouldn't arouse any unwanted Questions.
"Morning!" Everyone replied simultaneously.
Breakfast was all laid out on the table, Sunset reached out for a bowl and poured her self some cereal and began to start eating thinking about what she had Twilight had done.
"So... how was sex?" Rainbow bluntly asks making Sunset spit out her breakfast and Fluttershy's cheeks went red as she hid behind her hair.
"Rainbow Dash! Don't be so crass!" Rarity scolded.
"What I only asked." Rainbow Stopped talking seeing Princess making her down the stairs.
"Everyone ready?" Twilight asks, walking towards the table.
"Ready for What?" Applejack asks confused.
"I wanna go get Spike now."
"Oh come Twilight he'll be fine in there just for a minute." Rarity tried to relax Twilight.
"Spike isn't just some Dog he is my Best Friend, my King, Leader trying to fight back for all of Equestria. If you girls wont go with me ill go alone." Twilight huffed as she walked over to the door and puts on her winter coat.
"Don't be stupid Twilight im coming as well." Rainbow's put joined Twilight as she put on her own winter clothes.
"Once again Twilight and Rainbow headed out towards the vet's to collect Spike. Twilight just wanted to see Spike, she hoped the operation worked and that he would have a brand new claw. It had Snowed heavily through out the night and reached half way between the knee and the foot.
Rainbow cleared her throat about to talk braking the silence. "How was sex with Sunset?" Rainbow asks smirking.
Twilight Smiled knowing what Rainbow was trying to do; Twilight knew that Rainbow wanted to get some sort of reaction out of her. "It was amazing! Sunset is a best in the Sack!"
Rainbow frowned upset she wasn't able to get a reaction out of Twilight, but Rainbow was also sort of proud of Twilight for not reacting to it. Rainbow could really see for the first time how grown up Twilight is now. Rainbow thought about mention it but decided against it, instead decided to walk with Twilight helping to get to the vets
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Twilight sat nervously in the Waiting room with Rainbow waiting for her name to be called. Twilight sat playing with her skirt as nerves took over along with her thoughts. "What if the operation had failed! What if Spike had died during the operation!" She didn't have to wait long as they called her name soon after.
As soon as Twilight walked through the door Spike started barking happily and ran over to her put his new metal paw on Twilight leg letting her know where he was. Spike kept his word and acted like a real Dog through out the time he was here.
Twilight smiled hearing Spikes bark and feeling his paws on her leg, She picked Spike up cuddling him. "Its good to see you too boy!"
"You can take him home the operation went great, His all clear and his been fed." Mr Shy smiled as writ something down on his clipboard.
"Thanks Sir, it means a lot!" Twilight and Rainbow waved Mr Shy goodbye.
"Its no problem just make sure he gets into no more fights" Mr Shy waved back.
Spike waited until he was outside to talk. "Do you know how hard it was act like a mindless Dog!"
"Well its all over now Buddy." Rainbow stated.
"How's the new paw feeling?" Twilight asked concerned.
"Its feel great thanks, But I really wanna get back home asap we've taken too much time away." Spike told Twilight with determined tone.
"Well okay we just go get the girls, they are back at Sunset's." Twilight told Spike a bit upset that he didn't say thanks.
"Cant they meet us at the Portal? Im quite eager to get going." Spike asks not wanting to be a pain but he want to back as soon as possible knowing the others are alone.
"Sure ill give them a call." Rainbow offered pulling out her phone.
Spike looked up at Rainbow smiling "Cheers Rainbow."
"No Problem Spike." Rainbow rubbed Spikes head, making Spike shake Rainbow off causing her to laugh.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Spike, Twilight and Rainbow fell a sleep waiting by the portal for the rest of the girls. Twilight and Rainbow were shearing Earbuds listening to music on Rainbows phone sitting a top of the statue stand while cuddling for warmth. Spike sat looking at new metal Arm while he thought about home, Scootaloo came straight into his mind. He hoped she was alright, Spike didn't like the idea of leaving Scootaloo alone for so long, but Spike knew he needed his new arm. "After all of this mess is done with im going to give Agile and Diamond more attention, I feel I've neglected them." Spike thought with tinge of sadness.
Spike lifted his head and ears hearing foot steps approaching in the snow, making Spike get up. Spike was expecting to see the rest of the girls making their way back, but was disappointed when only seeing the out line of three girls. Spike huffs out frustration, he hated waiting it killed him knowing that Scootaloo could be in trouble. Spike was about to put his head down until he heard unmistakeable sound he hadn't heard in long time.
"How did you know they'll even be here?"
Spike lifted his head up instantly look back at the three girls. They had came closer and Spike could now see their faces. "The Dazzling's!"
The three Sirens look over at Spike making him go into a defensive pose growling . "Calm Down mutt where not here to fight." Adagio sighed sadly.
At the same time the rest of the girls had arrived at the statue. They saw the Dazzling's near Spike and ran over instantly to protect him. Fluttershy Picked him up and held him closely to her chest, forgetting who Spike was and what he had gone through.
"What do you girls want?" Applejack asked harshly asked harshly.
"We want to go home!" Sonata whined.
Rainbow and Twilight started stir, Rainbow was first to open her eyes while stretching her arms and yawning. She looked over at the girls see the Dazzling's were there she woke twilight up.
"Twilight I think you should wake up now." Rainbow shook Twilight should until she woke up
"Have the girls arrived?" Twilight yawned.
"Yes and but so have the Sirens!" Rainbow help Twilight up before standing.
"What! Whereas Spike?" Twilight asks worried.
"Its okay Fluttershy has him. now what do you Sirens?"
"For the second time today all we want is to go home. no taking over the world, no feeding off hate we just want home." Aria crossed her arms she was tired cold and hungry which made her even more mad.
"Its alright Aria ill deal with this." Adagio put her hand on her friend's shoulder reassuring her before looking over at Twilight. "Twilight from Equestria can I talk to you alone."
"Sure I guess." Twilight walked over to the sound where Adagio had been talking and continued to follow the sound of her foot steps
"Be careful Twilight." Spike warned sounding worried. Twilight stopped turned to Spike give him a nod before following Adagio again
"Why were you guys so late?" Rainbow asked annoyed that friends left her waiting in the snow.
"Yeah! Do you know how long we were waiting?" Spike asked full well knowing they knew the answer.
Applejack gave Rarity a dirty look "Sorry ya'll, but someone had fuss 'n fritter over her looks. Didn't they?"
"Well if its crime to look good for species I haven't even met before then you'll better lock me up now." Rarity huffed sounding hurt.
"Are you KIDDING ME!" Spike's out burst made Fluttershy put him down, allowing Spike to run over to Rarity. "We. are. at. WAR! Scootaloo is waiting for me! Do you get that? My dying Wife is waiting on me! My Colt and Filly are waiting! The entirety of Equestria is waiting for me! AND YOU WASTED OUT BY MAKING YOUR SELF LOOK PRETTY! YOU DONT KNOW HOW HARD IVE FOUGHT TO KEEP EVERYONE ALIVE! ...And if we're too late and somepony has died then ill make you pay for it!" After threatening Rarity, Spike left to go be with Twilight to calm down.
No one had Seen Spike that angry it surprised and shocked everyone. Rarity recoiled as his words, they hit her like cement block. She could believe how incentive she had been as tears filled her eyes. "Sp-Spike wait!"
After the shock Rarity tried to go after Spike, but Human Twilight stopped Rarity in her tracks "Its okay let him go. If he's anything like my Spike he just needs some time with his Twilight."
Rarity broke down into tears in Twilights arms "I didn't mean to hurt him."
"Looks like their friendship isn't that great after all." Aria teased with a smirk
"Don't start Aria!" Sonata pleaded.
"Fine! I'll keep Quiet, for now." Aria pouted.

Spike found Twilight and Adagio sitting on a bench talking calmly to each other. "So does she know everything yet?" Spikes sounding annoyed.
Twilight turned her head to the sound of Spike. "Yes she's all caught up, but she wants to ask you for something first. I said I couldn't answer it, it had to be down to you of course."
"I cant believe im asking a Dog this." Adagio muttered to her self before talking to Spike. "My King Spike please may we come back home we miss it so much. We miss our friend's, our families we cant survive here on our own."
Spike was caught off guard he hadn't been called king in such along time and wasn't sure if she was trustworthy yet. "Well first off we're in the middle of a war-"
"I want to help with the war and get my own back on Star Swirl. Believe or not me and my friends weren't bad as the book would have you believe. we didn't feed of the hate of ponies quite the opposite we would make them happy and joyful and feed off that." Adagio sighed as came to the part she wasn't proud of. "But our Powers could also do the opposite and possess people as you are well aware of the last time we met. And When Star Swirl found that our gems could do that he want them and when Refused, well he Banished us here away from our families." Adagio glanced sadly at the floor as images of home flittered through her thoughts
Spike wasn't shock by the news, with the way Star Swirl/ is now it just made you think how many more of his stories are complete rubbish. But he did have one question for Adagio. "If you can feed on Happiness, then why didn't you do it here as well."
"We Tried but it didn't feed us well, we almost starved to death. But when we tried hate it worked so much better for us and it lead us down a dark path we couldn't get out of until you guys came along. Im just glad that he didn't find the spare gems we head hidden away." Adagio sighed out of happiness.
"Wait did you just say you have extra gems hid Equestria. as in the same as the ones as before?" Spike asked as plan started to form in his head.
"Yeah their just sitting in the waters of a house back home ." Adagio answered.
"And you promise, you wont cause any trouble?" Spike trusted Adagio but he didn't feel right if he didn't ask one more time.
"Then you can come home-." Spike was interrupted by a very happy Adagio.
"Thank you! You Wont regret it." Adagio felt like hugging the dog but decided against it.
This was a weird side of the siren Spike had never saw. "I know I wont but while we talk to our friends why don't you let your friends know what's happening." Spike surgusted
"Yeah that's a good idea." Adagio admitted not sure how Aria would take the news.
So The three of them made their way back to the rest of the group. Adagio pulled her friends aside While Spike and Twilight let the rest of her friends know everything that had just happened.
"It Makes a lot of sense when you really think about it." Sunset Said aloud to her self which the others agreed too.
Princess Twilight sighed as she didn't feel right if she asked this Question one last time. "Is everyone sure about coming to Ponyville. Its going to be dangerous as all hell you'll be risking your lives. And I wont hold it against you if you want to stay, we're not going to make you do this it is of your own choosing."
"Oh no, you'll not getting rid of me that easily, ya saved this world I would say about twice its about time we saved yours id think."
"I've got your back you two your not facing this with out me."
"ARE YA KIDDING! Were supper besties and if you need help then you Pinkie is with you and 10000 percent! "
"I er... want to help very much, if that's ok that is."
"What kind of friend would I be if I wasn't there for my friends."
"Me and Spike are gonna be out of element but we'll help as much as we can."
"Twilight Equestria is my home and im not letting you and Spike save it with out me."
It was unanimous across the board, her friends were not gonna let them do this alone it made Twilight cry and reminder just how much she missed her friends. "Th-Thank you... it means so, so much to us both." Twilight thanked through her tears. Making the entire group of friends form a group hug.
"Were with you too." Adagio and her friends agreed as they made their way towards them.
"Thank you girls and I promise you I will bring him down" Spike promised in most serious and sincere tone.
"You better!" Adagio threatened.
"Well if we're all good, then we'd better get going we've spent too long here as it is?" Spike asked to which everyone agreed to. "Then lets go." One after the other jumped into the portal into Equestria.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/
Back in Starlight's village.
You sat at the table eating a breakfast of Apples and oats with a glass of Orange juice from the crop's. Applebloom sat next to you cuddling needing comfort, her breakfast stayed on the table untouched. You look over at Applebloom's breakfast and frown seeing that she hasn't eaten.
"You need to eat, keep your strength up." You tell Applebloom sounding worried.
"Ah don't feel like eating." Applebloom nuzzled into your side.
"I know your hurting right now, but it will get better with time." You kiss Applebloom pulling her into a tighter hug.
Applebloom closed her eyes enjoying the warm embrace. "Im the last Crusader left standing."
"Exactly! You cant give up, Not now." You Smile down at Applebloom. "We must all ways move on from those we have lost in respect for their memories."
"I know but it just hurts so much!" Tears flooded Applebloom's eyes.
"Just take your time."
You sat in the kitchen cuddling Applebloom while Stroking Applebloom cheek, words were not needed anymore. Applebloom took comfort in your reassuring fore legs making her feel safer and stronger at the same time. You were only too happy to be helping sooth her pain away trying to make her happy.
Suddenly the front door slams open revealing a very scared looking Shindig. "Dad! You need to see this NOW!" Shindig drags you outside and points you in the direction she wants to look at.
You rub your eyes in confusion, fear and shock. "Maybe im not getting enough sleep or maybe im dreaming right now." You thought as you saw Twilight and Spike trotting towards you followed by Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Sunset Shimmer, a Second Twilight and Spike with four other girls you didn't know. But Most of all the way followed by Pinkie Pie the love of your life bouncing a long. You couldn't believe you would see pinkie again, but now your feelings are contradict themselves.
Everyone gathered around to see Spike and Twilight arrive with the rest of Main Six. As soon as Apple Bloom saw Spike she galloped over to him before you could do any thing to stop her. Spike saw Applebloom and Noticed the frown on her face which made his stomach turn inside out.
"Apple Bloom what's wrong?" Spike asks as soon as Apple Bloom was close enough.
"Its Scootaloo she's gone!" And with those four simple words it felt like Spike world was crashing down on him.
Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter XI. Seen Through The Evil
Author's Note
Warning Rape is heavily implied if you want to skip past it Skip the Canterlot scene with Scootaloo.
Chapter XI. Seen Through The Evil
Spike stood in Scootaloo's room for over two hours staring at the bed where she once laid. Ponies have come and gone trying to get Spike to either talk or eat, but each time it failed and Spike would stay where he is not even look up at who was talking. You tried talking to him, Applebloom tired, even his kids tried but nothing would work.
You sat in the kitchen of the house You and Shindig have been using. Everypony else were in the room all sat in silence as well thinking of ways to get Spike to Talk or at least move. The only ponies who weren't in the room was Ace and Crimson, to be honest you didn't blame him with the way you smacked him about yesterday. But at the time being everypony is waiting for Agile and Blazing Diamond to return hopefully with Spike. But to be honest your mind wasn't a hundred percent on Spikes problems as you sat staring at the pony double of your dead wife. Apart of you knew she wasn't the same mare, but that didn't stop you from think about grabbing the mare and kissing her passionately. But once you had thought that you felt guilty like you was cheating on Applebloom and your Pinkie Pie. Its not like you wanted to replace Pinkie with a new one, you just missed your wife so much it threw you off guard also you genuinely loved Applebloom and didn't want to hurt her so you kept your thoughts in your head.
You looked over at Shindig and she was also staring at Pinkie and you could tell she was going through similar thoughts of her own. You then look over to your Marefriend she was staring at Applejack you could only image what she was going through in her what with the death of her best friend now see Applejack alive again. so you decided to sit next to Applebloom letting her cuddle up to you while put a hoof around her comforting her, you thought that you would talk to Shindig later and make sure she was okay.
"Boy howdy, you sure do look a lot like my Little Sis." Applejack said hoping to get some conversation going.
"Can ya please not talk to me, its hard enough seeing ya as it is." Applebloom asks burying her face into your fur.
"Im sorry ah didn't mean to hurt ya. I just-." Applejack apologised
You kiss Applebloom on her head before talking cutting Applejack off. "Its okay Applejack, when you died it hurt her pretty bad. She was on her own for along time trying to look after her daughter and Applejack's daughter by her self. im Guessing Twilight told you some of this?" You ask hoping that you didn't have to go through the entire back story of your Marefriend.
"Most of it yeah." Applejack admitted.
Before you knew it your heart Broke As Pinkie's Double jump straight in your face. "But she didn't tell us about you! Hi im Pinkie Pie, who are you?"
You sat there frozen not knowing what to do, your mouth went dry as tried to fined the words to talk but before you could princess Twilight dragged Pinkie back. And Soon Agile and Blazing Diamond retuned bring the groups attention on them.
"So... how did it go?" Flurry heart asks sounding hopeful.
Both Agile and Blazing look down at the floor and shook their head's "We tried!" Diamond protested.
"But we couldn't get through to him." Agile added with a sigh heading straight into the fore hooves Apple Charm.
Everyone hang their heads low frowning. "If he's kids cant get through to him, who can?" Rainbow ask what everyone was thinking.
It was like a light bulb went off in your head. "Twilight... can." You say while finding your voice again.
"Me?!" Twilights double asks in surprise.
"No, I mean Princess Twilight. Think about it your one of the closest ponies he knows and you know how he feels right now." You explain hoping not to be called.
Princess Twilight sat their thinking your theory through until she came up with answer. "I guess it makes sense. ill try my best but cant guarantee it'll work.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Princess Twilight started to make her way out of the house towards the other house Spike is in. Princess Twilight found Spike in the same place as everypony else, he still hadn't moved from his place.
"Spike. Tell me what's going on through that head of yours?" Twilight ask in a calm yet caring tone. But still no response So Twilight "I know you think that this is your thought but there was nothing more you could of done, it was out of your control."
"That's just it..." Spike spoke for the time since he had found out about Scootaloo two hours and ten minutes ago. "There was.. nothing I could of done! I failed her." Spike still stared at the bed while tears steamed down his cheeks. Twilight remained silent while and just listed to her former assistant. "I failed her. And all that time I Spent trying to keep her alive it was for nothing. Yet im meant to go out there and lead a team of friends and family to stop an army that's spread far across Equestria from Vanhoover to Trotting Ham and every city that's In between. How am I supposed to keep you all lead you all into battle when I couldn't stop them from taking my Wife away..." As soon as Spike had said that last part a thought hit Spike like a ten ton piano.
"Your wrong Spike you didn't fail her. you gave her fighting chance to stay alive and See her family a little bit long. I know for a fact luna would wanted at least ten minutes more. but that's why-"
"She's alive!" Spike interrupted Twilight making her stop talking.
"What whose alive?" Twilight asks confused.
"Scootaloo, SHE'S ALIVE!" Spike ran out of the house right across to where everypony else's was waiting, with Twilight not far behind.
Spike burst through the door making everypony jump including your self. "I told you Twilight could do it." You boast.
"Spike what's Wrong?" Fluttershy asks worried.
"I need a map of Equestria!" Spike replied with a stern voice.
Without questioning Spike, Flurry Heart left bring back the map he needed and laid it flat across the dinning room table let Spike take a look. "How is she Alive?" Twilight asks for the first time letting her self calm down.
"Whose Alive?" Thorax asks confused
looked over the map while he talks. "Scootaloo's alive. I know because look at the evidence. There's no body. If they want to kill her they would of done so and left the body for me to find, so in that way they could get an emotional response out me making do something stupid. but they didn't they took her unharmed. And before you ask how do I know its in harmed. there's no blood or sign of struggle. Which means they know how ill she is and they didn't want to make her worse."
"But why?" Agile asks confused
"Cause they are going to use her as bait, to get us to do what they want. But we going to get ahead of them, I have a new plan." Spike smirks
"We're all ear's." Adagio says aloud wanting to hear the plan.
"Well we cant stay here since they'll know where are now. we'll have to make a move to day, im heading to the Dragon's Lair and im gonna call in a favour with the Dragon Lord." Spike pointed at the map, where the dragon island.
"Do you think you can do that?" Sunset asks sounding sceptical.
"Don't worry she owes me one and with the power of the dragon's by our Side their army's wont stand a chance." Spike answers confidently before explaining the rest of his plan. "But we'll have to take Equestria back each City separately that's why im forming three groups. One group will consist of the girls from canterlot high with Aria, Spike will be leading the group. The second group will be The Equestria Defenders with sonata, Thorax will lead that group . The Final Group Will be me, Anon, Applebloom, Princess Twilight, Nightfall And Adagio, and of course I will lead the group. And before you ask Nightfall, Ace will stay here and look after Crimson." Nightfall did thankful nod of the head.
"But When The Master Finds out what city you are in he's gonna go straight for you." Princess Twilight argued.
"Yeah and why would you have us Spilt up?" Adagio added.
Spike knew these Questions were going to appear. "First of all, The Master wont know where I am Cos Thorax will shape shift into me and Twilight you will cast and illusion spell on the Other Spike making him look like me. And it will causing confusion that will lead him into staying where he is waiting for the real me to arrive and he'll just send out the Tirek, King Sombra and all the others. And That is the Exact reason why they will be lead their respective groups it must look as if it is really me in each of the groups. As for your question Adagio, am I right in thinking your powers can help reverse mind control?"
"Yeah it does." Adagio admitted.
"Am I also correct in thinking that your powers work just as well together as they do apart?" Spike asks knowing that he's correct.
"Again, yes it does, what are you getting at?" Adagio asks starting to get impatient.
"With You Mares apart you'll be able to help so many more ponies who have been brain washed by king Sombra." Spike answers smiling.
"Alright then sound's like a plan, when do you want us to get our gem's?" Aria asks, its the first time she opened her mouth with out causing a fight.
"Now, Would be great." Spike smiled.
"We're on it, don't worry Spike we wont let you down." Sonata led her Friends out of the house.
"Does anypony else have any questions?" Spike ask not wanting any pony to be left unsure.
Rainbow instantly took point. "Yeah I do, how are we meant to kick anyone arse, when we're still learning to walk without falling over?"
"That's easy ill have anon train you while im gone. But I will train Spike personally when I get back." Spike thought it weird saying he Train Spike, it was if he was talking like Trixie.
Your eyes go wide at the mention of your name. "Wait! what! I cant do that."
"Of course you can Anon. You did it for the Equestrian defenders, you can do for the Canterlot High Mares ." Spike retorted not quite sure what Anon was getting at.
You roll your at how thick Spike was being. "Its not my ability to do it that im putting at question. Im... im not sure I could do it mentally."
And just like that Spike knew what Anon was getting at. "I get that this is going to be difficult for you." Spike put a claw on your shoulder, you were still sitting on the chair while Applebloom cuddled up to you "But im going to have to ask you to get over it and get on with it for my sake and Equestria's."
"Okay fine! But you owe me one." You huff clearly unhappy with what you had to do.
"If no pony has any more questions im going to head off to the Dragon's Lair now?" Spike asks one last time to be sure.
"Before you go, I have to ask when do we hand out elements? " Princess Twilight asks.
Spike face palmed he couldn't believe he'd forget one of the most important parts to the plan "We'll do it now. Girls!" Spike called over to his friends from canterlot high making the look around. "Come here, I have to show you something." They followed Spike over to a chest it was dark blue with a gold trim around the edges and different colour gems round the sides. "In here are the Elements of harmony they will help you as take back each city." Sunset watched as Elements were about to be handed out.
Spike picked up a pink gem in the shape of a butterfly he then levitated it over to Fluttershy with his magic "Fluttershy, you are embodiment of kindness you are always willing to help without asking for anything in return." Fluttershy began to glow as elevate with the gem while span in front of her. Spike went round each of his friend leaving Twilight last. "And of course, Twilight the element of magic." A spike brought the gem over to Twilight nothing happened. "huh, nothing's happing? maybe its still connected to you Twilight." Spike sent the gem over to Princess Twilight but still nothing happened. "I don't understand why nothing is happing?" Spike scratched his head confused.
"I know, I know, Try Sunset. She's one who brought us together at the battle of the bands and at the friendship games and when we went to camp and got super cool new powers. She showed us time and again how strong we are together" Pinkie suggested while she was in mid air.
"Pinkie that's silly im no Princess." Sunset argued.
"Neither was Twilight when she was given the Element Harmony." Spike shot back. "It worth a try Sunset." Spike sent the gem towards Sunset. The gem started to change colour and shape from a purple star to a red and orange sun just like Sunset's Cutie Mark.
Soon Sunset began glow and float just as her friends did. Soon the glowing from each Element wilder started to get brighter and brighter until they were shining a bright white light. Everypony had to close their eyes as the light be to be unbearable to look at. The build of light turned into Rainbow explosion causing the light to disappear. Everypony opened their eyes to see that the Mare's were now wearing the Elements of harmony. Fluttershy, Rainbow dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity and Applejack were wearing their signature Necklaces with the Elements of Harmony on them. But Sunset wore a tiara with her Element on it just how Twilight use to have it.
"Turns out there's more for you in this universe then you first thought a Sunset." Spike commented with a smile.
Sunset was still in shock she couldn't believe that she was an element wilder. "But how? This doesn't make any sense?"
"Look I would love to answers all your questions, but I really have to go im sorry I will answer them soon." Spike headed to the towards the door but Princess Twilight called out before he could reach the handle.
"Be careful and watch out those Changelings could be any where." Twilight warned.
"Thanks Twilight." Spike hugged Twilight before turning around to leave. Just as Spike opened the front door Agile and Blazing galloped up to him and hugged their Dad tightly like they use to do when they where foals.
"Good luck, Dad." Agile smiled.
"Don't worry we'll get Mum back! Im sure of it." Blazing Diamond promised.
"Its going to be okay, you two. we'll get mum back and ill stop the master and every thing will go back to normal. Except this time I will spend more time with you that's a promise." Spike smiled, opened the door and took off into the sky.
"I just hope everything goes okay. " Agile thought.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\At Canterlot Castle.
Scootaloo was in the middle of the room laid down on a hospital bed, held in place by straps and Chain's. Scootaloo's eyes flutter open from a deep sleep, She founder self in a strange yet familiar room. It soon hit Scootaloo she was in her personal medical bay inside the Canterlot Castle where the Doctors would come and treat her when she needed it. Scootaloo notice there was no pony in the room and she couldn't remember how she got there in the first place.
It wasn't long before Scootaloo got the answers she wanted as she could hear a door open behind her. "So how do you feel Princess?" Master Nightmare asks trotting front of her.
"What did you do to me?" Scootaloo asks showing no fear just anger.
"Nothing bad, I've just cured your illness. your no longer dying!" The Master smiled, it wasn't kind or friendly. It was a smile you couldn't trust.
"Your lying. there is no cure!" Scootaloo didn't know what Master Nightmare playing at but she wasn't playing along with it.
"Its true there wasn't. But it only took me a couple of hours to come up with one, I am the most powerful wizard after all." The Master gloats enjoying his smug pride.
"So... What you gonna with me now?" Scootaloo asks not really wanting to know the answer.
"Nothing Princess you Bait to catch that Dumb husband of yours." The Master answers honestly
"He's Smart then you think?" Scootaloo argued.
"Then he should of given up already." The Master answers in serious tone before turning into a creepy smile. "But lets not talk about that. lets talk about what im going to do to you."
"What do you mean?" Scootaloo ask all her strength and anger left replaced by fear.
"leave us and shut the door behind!" The Master orders to which the Changelings obey.
The Master left the room half an hour later all that could be heard we're sound's Scootaloo crying, she hadn't felt so violated in all her life, all she wished for was a slow and Painful death for The Master.
The Master trotted back to his throne feeling proud of himself. Discord teleported into the room clearly angry at The master. "Was there any point to doing that?"
"There's no point in doing any thing but we still do. You of all sure understand that." The Master grinned an evil grin.
"I hope Spike kicks your arse." Discord looked at the colt in front of him with disgust. Even when Discord was evil he never stooped so low to Raping a prisoner.
"I know you don't mean that, you'll come round to my way of think soon Discord. I promise you Equestria will be ours with nothing standing in our way." The Master got up out of his throne and trotted out before turning around to Discord. "Now if you don't mind I have to go and be King."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Spike flew through the Sky with such speed he knew there was no time to waste. There was a chance to save Scootaloo and he wasn't going to waste it by being slow. Spike wasn't sure what he was going to say when speaks to Lord Ember, Spike Hadn't seen her since his wedding. but Spike had been writing letters to Ember telling her all about his adventures, thought, Feeling and on the odd occasion he would ask Ember for advisement with running Equestria. "I guess I'll wing it." Spike said aloud to him self making laugh. Through out his time as The Protector of Equestria he had always winged it and this time was the first time he had plan to stop the arsehole who was taking over. This could either mean two things that the plan was going to work perfectly or it was going fail harder then trying to get Pinkie to be quite.
Spike had soon reached the Dragon Lands and landed right out side the Castle of the Dragon Lord and proceeded to knock on the front doors. "Lord Ember I need to speak to you."
Two Dragon Guards opened the doors instantly "State your name Drake?" The Guard on the left asks.
"King Spike Sparkle, sir" Spike answered.
"And what is your business here?" The Guard on the right asks.
"I need to Speak to Lord Ember it is of up most urgency." Spike answers his voice not wavering once.
"Well The Dragon Lord is Quite Busy at the moment if you could come back at a later time."
"Could you go in there and let the Dragon Lord know Spike is here?" Spike ask confident that Amber would want to see him.
"Fine! wait here Drake." Spike did as he was told and waited out side the Castle doors. In no longer then five minutes the Guards returned. "The Dragon Lord will see you now."
"Thank you." Spike made his way into the castle it look like a posh cave on the inside. There was not much décor on the inside besides a few gems imbedded into the walls, but then again their dragons what did they need apart from gems. Spike found the Throne room, Lord Ember sat on her stone Throne while carrying her sceptre in one had she looked happy to see Spike.
"Spike! its good to see you. What brings you away from Ruling Equestria?" Ember gets up off her Throne and walks down to meet Spike.
"I Need your help?" Spike asks using his serious tone.
"Lets go for walk and Tell me everything."
Spike and Ember went for a walk out of the castle as Spike told Ember what had happened to Equestria and then told her about the plan to save Equestria. "Well that Explains the metal arm." Ember thought aloud looking at Spike's arm.
"Can you help us?" Spike asks
"I want to help Spike but there's a custom we have to go through first."
"Okay, What's that?" Spike asks curious what the custom is.
"I will put your case forward to the dragon's and you will have to prove you strength as a fighter and I will decided if your worthy to help or not." Ember Explained feel bad that she couldn't help him straight away.
"Okay fine ill do it." Spike wasn't in the least bit worried he had dealt with the darkest of magic and won, this would give Spike good warm up before reclaiming Equestria.
"Good. Lets go, oh before we do I must tell you, Spike that you have to pick out your opponent. Do you have an idea of who'll you'll pick?" Ember asks unsure.
"Oh I have just the Drake in mind."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Ember called Every Dragon to the Fighting Arena. Spike stood next to Ember as she spoke to the Dragons. "Dragon's I Have called you here today to because I have been asked for help from king Spike, here Standing next to me.(Ember pointed to Spike as she spoke.) And I have chosen to invoke the strong Heart code. If impresses me I will help and do what he asks of me and if not he will be casted away and left to deal with his own problems. Spike will now call out his opponent for battle." Ember looks over to Spike for him to talk.
"I Have chosen Garble as My opponent!" Spike announced and the continued to jump into the massive crater waiting for Garble.
Garble pushed pass all the dragon's to then jump into the crater him self. Garble was twice as bid as Spike, Garbles had gotten more mussels we're bigger and looked much stronger then Spike. Ember was worried about Spike, seeing the pair of them in the arena, from her point of view it didn't look good. Spike wasn't scared he'd been wanting to teach Garble a lesson for a long time now.
"COME ON PONY DRAKE! Its about time I taught you a lesson!" Garble teased trying to get Spike but he didn't care one bit."
"BRING IT!" Spike shouted making Garble charged at Spike running full pelt. Spike waited for the right before he began running and skidded on his feet delivering a punch to Garble gut with his metal arm, while tripping Garble up with his tail making him fall flat on his face. "How's the Dirt taste Garble?"
"GRRRAH!" Garble started to swing claw's in anger. Spike doge each swing of the claw then went low again when he had the chance, rapidly hit garble in the gut. Stun Garble for moment but he soon got his bearing and Grabbed hold Spike and picked him to throw back down on his knee. Spike groans feeling the knee hit his Back. "What's the matter you gonna cry like a pony?" Garble started to gloat like he had won already.
Spike took a moment to get up, but as soon as he was up he ran over and grab hold Garble's tail and Spun him until he flew into the wall of the crater. Spike chased after Garble and jumped atop of him Stopping him from get back up. Spike repeatedly punched Garble in the face ending it with a head but. Spike got off Gable thinking he had finished, but Garble was about get until Spike kicked him in the head knocking him out cold. "That's what you get for being arse. Don't mess with the Protector of Equestria!"
Ember could believe that Spike had won She flew down to meet the victor. Ember bowed to Spike along with the crowed. "King Spike we are at your service, what do you need?"
"I need you and your entire army at my aid." Spike answers.
"Then you may have them King Spike." Ember stood up again smiling.
Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter XII. The Beginning Of Hope
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter XIII. Self Taught.
A cold winter wind blast through the air making Spike rub his arms from the cold and then he looks around for the Siren's but frowns when he couldn't see them. "So... are the Dazzling's not back yet?"
"No not yet, and sure they haven't abandoned us." Sunset answered, feeling that she knew what Spike Was thinking.
Spike rolled his eyes at sunset "No that wasn't what I was thinking. I was thinking that they might be in trouble."
"Im sure their fine." Twilight reassured assured Spike and Placed a hoof on his back.
"Well im gonna give it two hour's before I do anything, which gives me time to talk to My double, excuses me." Spike walked over to Princess Twilight. " Hey Twi we'd better talk to the other Spike and get him ready."
"Yeah your right there's a lot for him to comprehend." Princess Twilight and king Spike Made their way over to Spike.
"Um... other Spike... we'd better get you ready for the battle ahead." Spike told his double, Leading him into one of the house where its warm. "Before we do anything we to come up with a different name for you so we don't get confused." King Spike stated.
"Why do I have to have different?" Spike asked.
"Because im teaching you and also I am the king! Now what to call you..." King Spike began to think of a name for His double. "I don't know... Twilight, can you think of one?"
"Well why don't we just call him Spikey." Princess Twilight suggested.
King Spike face lit up while Spike frowned. "I love it."
"I Don't" Spikey Spoke up.
"Tough! Now come over here and join me. sit on the floor Facing me crossing your leg's?" Spikey did as he was asked. "I know this a lot for you to handle , One day your dog chasing Squirrels and the next your Dragon leading an army its tough, I should know. But im here and im going to teach what you need to know, who better then your self. Then afterwards Twilight is going cast a transformation spell on you so you look like me to confuse The Master." Spike explained.
"That's a lot to undertake." Spikey said feel overwhelmed.
"I know it is, but I also know you can do it!" Spike reassured Spikey.
"How?" Spikey asked.
"Because I went through the same thing. One day I was getting ready to date the most prettiest and sassiest Mare in Equestria. And the next day I was being told that im the key to saving Equestria and defeating King Sombra. Finding thing's out about my body that I didn't even know about." Spike held up left arm and clenched his claw it ignited on fire. Spikey watched mesmerised by the flames bending around his scales. "That's how I know." Spike opened his claw letting go of the flame.
"Then Teach me?" Spikey asks eagerly wanting to learn.
"First let's focus on being able to breath fire."
Spike had began his lesson even though found the idea of teaching him self to be a little bit odd at first. But as the lesson went on he found that it was just like teaching a friend. The lesson went on for some time as Spike went through everything that he thought Spikey would need. Spike taught the basic's first breathing fire, flying and the ability to throw thing with his magic. Spike saved the best to last and taught Spikey to how to ignite his claw's, after a considerable amount of fails Spikey finally got the hang of it.
"So what else you teaching me?" Spikey ask excited.
"Nothing. you have enough. you don't need to learn everything I know just the basics for it to look plausible." Spike answers crossed armed. "Now Twilight has to cast a transformation spell on you so stay still."
"Oh, okay sure." Spikey answers disappointed.
"He's Ready Twilight Cast it!" Spike announced letting Twilight know.
Twilight stood in front of Spikey her eyelids scrunched up and her horn glowing pink as she concentrated on the spell. Twilight face softened and horn stopped glowing as Spikey felt weird. Spikey rush to the mirror as he saw that he had a scar over his eye, holes in his wing's and a metal arm. "Wow, this is weird." Spikey looked him self over.
"Try living like it for the rest of your life!" Spike spat bit annoyed.
"Sorry." Spikey apologises feeling bad.
"Now is there any thing you want to know?" Twilight asks.
"What if we bump into one of those super villains?" Spikey ask feeling scared.
"Don't be afraid. show your strength and keep moving fast. Also be talkative and sarcastic it will throw them off of their game making them sloppy. Anything else." Spike ask hoping he didn't have another, he need to see if the sirens we're back.
"Yeah how do I lead a team of Ponies and dragon's?"
"You use your best judgement and hope it works. Any more?" Spike is eager to see if the Sirens are back but doesn't want to leave Spikey confused.
"No I don't think so." Spike answers honestly.
"Okay, good because I need to see if the Sirens are back. If you to talk to me don't hastate to come see me." Spike walks over to the door and leaves behind a very satisfied student.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
It was coming into late afternoon and that means the cold is going to get worse, and that The Master would be getting ready to lower the sun. Spike had to find the Sirens they were important to the plan and that plan was happing to night in the cover of night. So Spike makes his way around the village asking the everypony if they had seen the Dazzling's arrive yet. It was a complete no from all of his friends and the Dragon army. Fear settled in as the worst events possible came to his mind. Spike Was about to find Twilight, until three silhouettes appeared on the ground making Spike look in that direction. The three Sirens we're walking towards the village wearing their gems as well three sad frown's. But Spike was just happy to see them back and alive, there had been to many deaths they didn't need three more.
"Girls, its so good to see you back!" Spike Smiled at them.
"Yeah sorry it took so long. can I talk to you." Adagio asks hint of sadness in your voice.
"yeah, sure." Spike follows Adagio leaving the other two Sisters alone.
Sonata and Aria found one of houses empty in which to talk in. Aria felt nerves as she entered the house, she was scared of Sonata reaction. Aria had never felt like this before, it was so strange for the Siren to be out of her comfort zone.
As Aria Sat down, Sonata spoke up. "So how long have you felt about me for?"
"Heh, a couple of hundred years or so." Aria revealed smiling sheepishly.
"Wow for realizes?" Sonata asks her eye's wide surprise.
"Yeah..." Aria rubbed her arm as anxiety kicked in.
"Well why has it taken you so long to say anything?"
"I-I didn't know how you we're going to react."
"Well does this help." Sonata leaned forward and kissed Aria passionately to which Aria accepted greatly.
Sonata pulled away smile. "Yes that does help." Aria answers smiling.
"How do we tell Adagio?" Sonata asks.
"You mean we're dating now?" Aria ask happiness rising.
"Of course silly." Sonata kiss Aria on the cheek. "Now, how do we tell Adagio?"
"Don't worry it's already been done it." Sonata and Aria look around too see Adagio standing in the doorway and fear kick's them in stomach at the same time as seeing her.
"Adagio we can explain." Sonata stated.
"Save it! Spike wants us now!" Adagio left feeling hurt Making Aria and Sonata get up and chase after.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
light snow had began when the three sirens arrived they found Everypony was stood in a crowed with the army of dragon behind them. Spike stood in front waiting for the dazzling's to join them before he started to talk. The sirens joined the crowed, but Adagio stood away from her Sisters making Sonata sad and Aria angry at her friend's childish behaviour. Aria cuddled Sonata making her blush and feel so much better as Spike began to talk.
"Now that the Dazzling's have arrived I can begin the talk." Spike cleared his throat before talking again. "I have chosen cities for each team to free. Equestrian Defenders, first you will take The Crystal Empire back saving Cadence and freeing The Chrystal ponies. but watch out king Sombra rules The Crystal Empire and he isn't going to give it up easily. from then on Cadence will help you free Cloudsdale, Appleloosa and Doge city. Five dragon soldier's will be accompanying you as well. Sound good?"
The Equestrian defenders and Sonata nodded happily, Spike could tell that Furry Heart was very happy with the plan.
"Good. Canterlot high Team, you will start in Baltimare, then make your way over to Los pegasus where Queen Chrysalis is ruling, don't forget about the Elements of Harmony. Use it, stop her and then you'll free Tall Tale and Vanhoover. You will also have 5 Dragon soldier's with you as well. Any Question's?"
"Yeah ah do. How will we know where ta go to?" Applejack asks putting her hoof in the air.
"That's easy, Sunset is from her and she'll teleport you to each destination, when your done that is." Spike answered. "Now for my team we will start at Trotting Ham then Manehattan where Lord Tirex will be waiting for us. After that Filly Delthia And we finish with Ponyville where of course the Lord of Chaos will causing chaos which we will see an end to. When both team's are done send me a message and I will let you know when to meet up at the castle of friend ship from there on wards we will attack Canterlot putting an end to The Masters rule. when we reach Canterlot I will send a message to Ember where she will bring the rest of her army backing us up. The Master will fall and Equestria will be free again!" Everypony bowed and cheered Spike's name. "Now everypony say your goodbyes then move out!" Spike Ordered in harsh tone.
Spike walked over to Princess Twilight. "So how did I do?"
"It was perfect I know you don't like making speeches but your really good at it you just don't know it. Brrr its freezing " Twilight answers honestly.
"Thanks Twi it means a lot to me. Now im gonna talk to Agile and Diamond before we leave why don't you go get warm." Spike suggested.
"Its the honest truth Spike. And no that's okay im going to find Nightfall and Crimson before we go, ill meet you back here." Twilight smiles warmly.
"Meet you here." Spike left to Find Agile and Blazing talking to Flurry Heart, they had made a fire trying to keep warm from the winter snow.
"Hey, could we chat?" Spike ask causing the pair to turn around.
"Sure thing Dad, what's up?" Agile asks
Spike made his way forward putting his claws near the fire also trying to keep warm. "When we get to Canterlot I want you two and Thorax to go get Mum, when everypony is too busy in the heat of battle."
"Don't you want to get yourself? Not that im moaning." Diamond asks confused.
"Im going to be too busy with Master Nightmare. that's why I need you three to go do it." Spike Explains.
"Okay... we'll let Thorax know, is there anything else?"
"Yeah, just be careful you two." Spike pulled his kids into a tight hug before letting them go giving Agile a kiss on her forehead and a pat on the back for Blazing.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Twilight knew Where nightfall would be, she trotted straight to the house where Nightfall had been staying in. Ever since her training with Sunset she had been able to use her senses to move about a lot better. Twilight open the door finding NIghtfall and Ace kissing while Crimson was on floor playing with toy that Flurry Heart had made. Twilight waited for a minute before talking, not wanting to interrupt her Son.
Seeing that Nightfall and Ace was finished Twilight closed the door to the house making them believe that she had Just arrived. "Nightfall?"
"In the Front room!" Nightfall announced letting his mum know where they were.
"Nanny Sparkle!" Crimson cheered rushing over to Twilight with a massive Smile
Twilight picked Crimson using her magic and nuzzled her before putting her on her back. "Hello Sweetie! I thought I was Granny Sparkle?"
"Nah Nanny sound better." Crimson reasoned.
"Hey Mum." Nightfall greeted.
"Hi Darling, I just wanted to talk to you before we had to go."
"Is something wrong?" Nightfall worried.
"No I just want to tell you that im so proud of you. you've done so well and I couldn't of asked for more." Twilight had realized it was first time she had told her son that she was proud of him.
"Thanks Mum im just glad I could live up to your legacy." Nightfall smiled felling pried.
"Now let me go spend some time with my Grandfoal." Twilight carried Crimson Upstairs to play with her giving Ace and Nightfall time alone and give twilight time to be a grand parent.
"Thanks Mum!" Nightfall shouted making Twilight smile.
"No Problem."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Sonata and Aria made their way over to Adagio who was waiting out side for the rest of her team to arrive . Adagio didn't seem to mind the cold it didn't bother her as much she seemed to have something on her mind. As soon as Adagio saw her friends making their way to her she turned her head not wanting to talk to them.
"Hey Adagio, we just wanted to talk." Sonata Spoke in soft quiet voice.
"I have nothing to say to the pair of you." Adagio continued to look away as she talked.
"Don't be like that Adagio, we didn't keep anything from you." Aria said in in her normal tone of voice.
That last remark made Adagio look at her Sister with rage. "Oh yeah, you kept nothing from me. apart from the fact you two are dating!"
"It only happened today to be honest, we we're working things out by our self before we told you." Sonata answers with more confidence.
The news made Adagio calm down a small bit, but everything in her body was telling her it was wrong. "Im sorry but I don't believe you!"
"What do you mean?" Sonata asks genuinely confused.
"She thinks were lying!" Aria pitched in angry at Adagio
"Why?"
"WHY?!... because I would think you would at least talk to me about it first!" Adagio burst with anger at her Sisters stupidity
"We wouldn't keep you in the Dark for realises." Sonata stated honestly making Adagio face hoof.
"I Agree. we love you Adagio you our friend and we will always tell you everything." Aria made sure she had made a point letting Adagio know that even she couldn't stop it.
"Im but I don't believe you." Adagio asks catching on to her Sisters last statement.
"Then we'll distance our selves from you." Aria answers.
"For the time being, to let you calm down and think." Sonata added.
Adagio stood shocked at her Sister's reactions. "I cant believe you'll abandon me like that." Adagio said feeling hurt.
"Look why don't you take some time to process the news and come back to us later." Sonata suggests.
"...Fine. I will think about it. That doesn't mean I agree it just means ill think about." Adagio Answers.
"I know im just glad your considering it, is all" Sonata gallops up to her friend and brings her into a tight hug.
Aria started to shiver feeling the cold air "fucking hell its cold." Aria's out burst made all three of them laugh and they hadn't laughed like that in hundred's of years.
The Afternoon was over and the cold winter Night had set in as the light snow turned heavy. Everypony had said their goodbye's and then got in to their own groups and took off to take Equestria back and free the Ponies.
Author's Note
I want to write a scene with the bad guys in this chapter but I didn't know what to write so I left it like that a bit rushed I know but I didn't know what to do.
Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter XIV. Fighting Back.
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?"
"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
"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.
We aren't slaves anymore, just to do your bidding.
free your minds
Loving life, loving freedom.
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!"
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
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.
Don't lay there in the darkness,
Save your self.
I know your afraid like you've never felt so small before.
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.
They wanna break you, wash away you soul.
Wake up! Its time to take action.
Rise up, take charge, cos no ones going to do it for you.
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.
Author's Note
This Chapter was very difficult to write im sorry if the songs are terrible, I tried my best.
And thought this song goes well with the chapter.
Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter XV. The Quiet Before The Storm.
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.
Author's Note
I think I may have made the Dazzlings too soft im not sure, but ill write a better dazzling story in the future.
Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter XVI. Every King Has Their Day.
The snow had picked up again this time it was raging through the sky as cold winds blasting past. A storm had started, Master Nightmare army of Brain washed Ponies and Changelings was outside in the Canterlot grounds ready for Spike and his small army. The Master stood on the balcony of castle, he knew Spike would be arriving soon and looked at his army through the telescope attached to the balcony. The Master felt so safe in his "assured" victory.
In the meantime Spike and his Army was on the out of Canterlot the Doors that allowed any pony passage were closed with no guards guarding them. This told Spike two things three things; They know he's coming, they are ready for them and they want them in the canterlot grounds. But it gave time For Spike to run over the bases of the plan one last time.
"Right before we do this we go over the plan, we burst in and they are gonna use the brainwashed ponies first because they'll know we wont want to harm them. So Sunset you and the other element wilders will keep them at while the Dazzlings sing, freeing the them from King Sombra's spell. Once they are free you have to get them out of there fast, before the Changelings and them Master Nightmares Hench Ponies get there."
"You got it boss." Adagio saluted.
"We wont let you down Spike." Sunset said while her friends nodded in a agreement.
"Once that happens we battle every Changeling we see and we don't stop. while we fight off the Changeling's, Agile, Blazing and Thorax, you three know what to do." The three ponies gave a nod.
Giving Nightfall cause to Speak. "Wait! Hold on they aren't fighting?"
"Yes, but not with us." Spike Gave Nightfall a glare who shook it off.
"But they are our best fighters, with Agile's sword Fighting skills, Blazing's magic powers and with Thorax being a Changeling we'd be a force to be reckoned with." Nightfall argued almost pleading.
"No, they are doing something important, that I need them on." Spike crossed his arms, in his mind the argument was closed and finished with. But Nightfall didn't seem to agree with that.
"Send Somepony else." Nightfall said in tone that sounded demanding.
"I don't trust anypony else with this!" Spike growled.
"Just what exactly are you doing? Spike?" Nightfall spat.
Anger built up In Spike. "Listen here Nightfall, I've been fighting this war before you were born. I have fought to my hardest to keep as many of friends alive, to keep the Ponies of Equestria safe. Luna taught me, she made me king cause she knew what I was capable of, she knew I could keep this world safe. So do your self a favour and put some faith in your mum's judgement and let me do my job."
That had seemed to shut Nightfall up he didn't have come back after using his mum like that. Nightfall wanted to say something in retaliation but could find the words leading to Twilight speaking up. "Trust him Nightfall, he knows what his doing. I brought him up as my brother and I know you trust me. So listen to your uncle."
Nightfall Sighed in defeat, that was final nail in the coffin for any chance of an argument. "Okay I trust him." Nightfall spoke aloud, he meant it as well. If Spike had been trained and taught by the greatest ponies Nightfall knew then there was no reason to doubt him.
"Thank you. As was saying we will fight Every Changeling until Master Nightmare Sends his lackey's in after us. That may scare you but let me tell you. when Master Nightmare brought them back from the dead, they lost most of their power. That's why they were so easy to take the city's back. Don't fear the dead when We have two Powerful Alicorns on our Side" Spike smiled pointing his claw towards Twilight and Cadence. "I will end up leaving you when they arrive, but don't worry back up will come to aid you. So what do you say shall we do this? Is Every pony ready?"
Everypony turned to each other and nodded in agreement leading Cadence to talk. "Were ready Spike."
Spike turned around face the door before using his magic to rip open the door's and throw them forwards. Before any pony knew it an army of brain washed Ponies came charging out of the gate brandishing their Swords and Spears. leading to the Element wilders to gallop forwards jumping over Spike and using the Elements of harmony to cast a shield Keeping the ponies of Canterlot at bay.
"Dazzlings do it now!" Spike ordered, making the Dazzlings gallop forward and start to sing braking King Sombra's Spell. Once the Ponies were clear of the Spell the Element Wilders and the Dazzlings got the them to safety as quick as possible.
Master Nightmare was watching everything from his balcony, Queen Chrysalis trotted up behind him before bowing. "Sir, Spike Has defeated your Army." Chrysalis gulped down the lump in her throat, she Expected him to be furious and throw her a cross the room.
But instead he Spoke calmly "Send in the Changelings!"
"Yes Master" Chrysalis backed out of the room.
Master started laugh before leaving the throne room. "I better get ready."
Spike and the rest of the team pushed forward into Canterlot, while Agile, Blazing and Thorax went off to find Scootaloo. Spike and his team turned a corner heading into the what used to be the shopping centre, finding row after row of Changelings dressed in amour. Spike held his arms out holding his friends back from going forward. You must of been able to see Thousands and Thousands of Changelings, you felt like you were going to be sick from the sight. You look at Applebloom next you, she looks back and you try and give her the best comforting smile you can. She smiles back giving your self some comfort, Looking around at your friends you could See Aria and]Sonata were doing the same thing as you and Applebloom. You look at Shindig next to you on the opposite side of Applebloom, Shindig stares at the breath very fast, fear clear in her eyes. You put a hoof under her muzzle and get het to face you, you put on your most comforting Smile. "Its going to be okay. trust me."
From out of nowhere The changelings started to charge, Leading Every Pony to getting their battle stance. Spike threw a fireball straight down the middle, scattering the Changelings making them easy to attack. You look down at your flank and it changed again to it was two Swords in the shape of an x behind a red shield with a white staring the middle. You pull out a sword start slicing down Changelings, You and Applebloom stand back to back while your tails twirl around each other. While Shindig held her own and started knocking Changelings down Left and Right. The memory of her mother and what they did to her flooded her mind. Shindig used it as fuel and she soon forgot the nerves she had felt.
Sunset, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie used their Elements separately allowing them to take out multiple Changelings at once by them selves. As for Twilight she stayed by her Spike, they made a great duo always having each others back when they need it. Flurry Heart stayed by her mum side, she lost her once she was determined too not lose her again. Princess Twilight didn't need to see the Changelings to fight them she used sound to help. Princess Twilight used sound so much she was able to tell the sound of Changelings hoof step from a normal Ponies hoof step. Nightfall stayed by Twilight, even though she was able to care of her Self, Nightfall thought it was his duty as a son.
A Changeling soldier rams into your side braking the tail connection you and Applebloom had. you hit the ground rolling, until you land on back. The Changeling then proceeds to jump onto you, pinning you to the ground. You struggle to get the Changeling off of you as it tries to sink his verminous teeth into your shoulder. Before you could Say Applebloom, she was there bucking the Changeling in face knocking him out. Applebloom held out her hoof to which you greatly accepted and got back on your hooves. "No Pony hurts my Coltfriend. Come on we'd better get back to it. Applebloom smiles.
Adagio doge out the way as a Changeling charged forwards with a spear, only to be met with aria hoof in his face knocking him out cold. Aria look to Adagio smiling, only to turn into a frown as she saw her Marefriend being boxed in by four Changelings. Aria reacted quickly. "SONATA! CATCH!" Sonata looked up to see a spear coming towards her. Sonata caught the spear then continued to hold a battle pose and Waited for one of the Changelings to make a move. Soon each Changeling had a go at Sonata, Sonata dealt with three of them. Sonata continued to battle the last Changeling who had boxed her in. Their spear hit each other until Sonata hit the Changeling across the horn causing him great pain, giving Sonata a chance. She took hold of her Spear and stabbed the Changeling right in the chest. Sonata galloped over to her Marefriend giving Aria a kiss on the cheek causing her to blush. "Thanks of the assist."
"No Problem, But we aren't done yet. not by a long shot." Aria still retained the tough girl look in public.
When Spike and his team had thought off enough Changeling's, Tirek and the other Villains join the Fight letting Spike know it was time he faced Master Midnight. Before going Spike wished his friends and family luck before flying off towards the castle.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Agile, Blazing and Thorax made their way around the out skirts of the city making their way to the castle. It was an easy trot to the castle since all of the troops had been called into battle in the city centre. When they got close to enough to castle they head around to the back of the castle since they knew the front would be heavily guarded by Changelings.
Just as they expected only nine Changelings guarding the back of the castle. Agile, Blazing and Thorax gave each other nods as they thought the same thing, three Changelings each for of them. They waited the right time before they came out of the bushes in the castles garden allowing the first three Changelings to be taken out Silently. Just as Blazing was about take the Second Changeling down silently, he turned around alerting the other Changelings. Causing Blazing to pick the Changeling up with his magic and throw him at the other Changeling knocking the pair out. Agile unsheathed her sword and gripped it tightly before slicing the second Changeling in half. She was about take the third one until the Changeling held her in place with his magic as grinned widely. But the changeling didn't take in account of Blazing's ability. Blazing shot a stream of magic at changelings horn causing him to let go of Agile and drop to the ground, putting his hooves to his horn as his tears made a puddle next to him, the pain was unbearable to cope with. blazing gallops over to the Changeling and stamps on his horn snapping it off, making the Changeling scream out in pain, before shock causes him to collapse sleeping. Blazing Then stabbed him with a spear that was dropped by one of the other Changelings.
Agile looked at Blazing in horror before looking where he was staring at, one changeling left. Unsure if it was their friend or not they as the same question. "What's mission did Spike give us?"
"Find and Save Scootaloo." Thorax replied instantly making the pair relax. They had decided on that question to tell if they really are who they say they are.
Agile turned to face her brother with a very angry stare. "What?" Blazing ask out of confusion.
Agile stood strong. "That was evil, what you did to that Changeling! You him tortured him, It was wrong Blazing!"
Blazing rolled his eyes. "These Changelings have got our mum, they killed Pinkie. Do you not think that they wouldn't do the same to you. Of course they would I don't give a damn about them all I care about it mum that's all. No offence Thorax of course I care about you."
"Its fine, I wish I was a pony anyway." Thorax waved a hoof dismissively.
"That's not the point... we don't drop to there'll level." Agile argued.
"I will do anything to get to mum, so I know she'll be fine. Now lets go we're wasting time." Blazing entered the castle with Thorax close behind, Agile followed in soon after, shaking her disappointed her brother couldn't see what she saw.
Once they were in the castle, they followed the signs to the infirmary killing any Changelings they find along the way. At the infirmary were hundreds of Changelings either being treated or treating the wounded. Seeing that Scootaloo wasn't there they continued on slipping past them not wanting to engage in a fight that would most like lead to their doom.
Further down the hall way they found a room called High-Tec Prisoner Detention. "Maybe Mum's in here!" Agile Surgusted.
"Maybe, here let me try and open it." Thorax put his horn to the lock of the door.
"This is very deja vu." Blazing though aloud as he looked around.
"Is this reminding you of your time with Flurry Heart?" Agile asks
"Mmm very much so." Blazing answers he keeps a look out.
An interesting thought came to Agile making her Smiling. "So what happened in the Crystal Empire with you two?"
"Nothing much, we talked to calm her nerves, searched room's, kick a few Changeling arses. Same old, Same old." Blazing shrugged as continued to keep a look out.
Agile nodded along, but that wasn't the answer she was looking for. "I see, what do you think of her?"
"Who, Flurry?" Blazing looked Back at his sister, who nodded in return. "She's okay I guess. she a bit bossy, but nice mare."
"Oooooo a nice Mare eh?" Agile teased.
Blazing rolled his eyes at Agile's remark. "Look agile there's something I need to tell you. Im.-"
Thorax opened the door cutting Blazing off. They entered the room finding chains and locks including two beds, but no Scootaloo. "This must be where the master wants to Keep them both locked up if he wins." Agile said
"That's great an all but whereas Scootaloo?" Thorax asks making every pony stop and think, until Hit Blazing.
"I've got it, when the master took Mum she was still sick so where he take her if she was still sick?" Blazing asks waiting for Agile to finish his sentence.
Agile's eyes and mouth go wide as she realises what Blazing was hint at. "Her personal Medic room."
After realising where Scootaloo was they galloped down the hall ways taking out and Changeling that got in their way, nothing would stop them from saving Scootaloo. They soon reached the medic room, Blazing put his horn to the lock forcing open breaking it the process. They entered the room and Scootaloo still wasn't there. Blazing threw everything off the counter in anger and fear, he just wanted to know where his mum was and that she was safe. Blazing so began to breakdown and cry, he didn't know what to do anymore. "where is she."
"Its okay we'll find her." Agile cuddled blazing making him feel better. "Come on lets search for clues."
Blazing nodded and got back up on to his hooves and began searching through the mess he created. Blazing picked up a clip board and began to read through it hope for any clues to Scootaloo's where could be. "I know Where Scootaloo is" Blazing said looking up from the clip board, fear clear on his face.
"Where is she?" Agile ask eager to get their mum back.
"It says here that Scootaloo got moved from this room to the throne room." Blazing gave the clip board over to Agile.
"What! Well what do we do now?" Thorax ask as Agile hangs her head low.
Blazing stood strong. "I'll tell you what were going to do. We are gonna save mum while Spike battles Master Nightmare, then we take him down as Family."
"Im with you bro, What about you thorax?" Agile asks smiling.
"Me?" Thorax asks surprised.
"There's always room for you in this family." Blazing smiles.
"Im with you too." the three of them group hug for a minute before letting go. "Lets get this asshole!"
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Spike saw Master Nightmare in windows of the throne room, it filled him with anger knowing that he worked so hard to just destroy his life that Spike built for Scootaloo and his children. This wasn't going to stand anymore Spike knew that was fact, either the Master was going to die or Spike will die trying. Spike stop mid air and inhaled deeply as he concentrated on creating the biggest fire ball he could manage. Soon Spike could feel burning in the back of his throat let him know he had reached his limit. In one fell swoop Spike let go of the fire ball shooting it at the castle, Destroying a large part of the wall, multiple windows and parts of the Pipes that ran through out the castle. The debris landed on the floor causing everypony in the battle below to turn around looking at you before going back to fighting.
Spike Landed in side the castle giving Master Nightmare an angry glare. His eyes soon softened when he was a healthy looking Scootaloo locked up in chains. Most Ponies would be angry seeing their loved ones chained up, but Spike was just happy to see that he was right and Scootaloo was healthy again. Scootaloo didn't look scared, but happy to see her husband and determined to kick the master ass. But Spike soon turned his thoughts Back to the Master and was getting ready to fight for his future.
"That's right Spike, Scootaloo is alive and her infection is gone. Scootaloo is no longer dying, she is safe." Master Nightmare Smiled thinking he had the Drake.
"I had already worked that out and no I will let you use my wife to manipulate me. This is my Kingdom and I will fight for it back." The Master looked at Spike, surprised he didn't expect that Spike would figure his plan out.
"Its a fight you can not win. Any way, you seem to be a lousy leader. you left your team alone and now my Villains will make short work of them." Again Spike knew the Master was trying to use his team against him. So that he would get emotional and make mistakes.
"Who said I left them alone." Just after Spike said that, a loud Dragons roar went off, it could of been heard mile's away.
Master Nightmare rushed the window wiping the dust off, before looking out of it. The Master Saw thousands of dragons Flying towards Canterlot. "You think I didn't know about them? I prepared too." Those words made Spike stomach turn. "Slaves, ready the cannons." The Master still had Ponies Under King Sombra's Spell and they were at the ready with cannons. "FIRE!" The Slaves ignited the cannons firing metal cannon Balls out of them. However when the Cannon Ball reached its victim they opened up throwing a metal net around the dragons trapping them on the ground. "If any Dragon tried to help, they would get zapped with ten volts of electricity. Im no fool I cast that Spell on all the nets. Lets just hope you"
Spike glared and growled at Master Nightmare, he wanted to tear him to pieces. "IM GONNA MAKE YOU SORRY FOR EVERYTHING YOU'VE DONE!"
"You can try?" The Master got into his Battle stance.
Spike charged at the master making him go on the defensive. But Spike unexpectedly ignited his hand and throw's a fire ball blinding the Master. Which allowed Spike to throw a punch with his metal claw, hitting the wizard in the jaw causing to fly backwards hitting his throne.
"Your rule is over!" Spike stated while standing in his battle stance.
"Don't call the game too fast now." Master Nightmare builds up the magic in horn before shoot black beam at Spike, causing him to block the magic with his metal claw. As Spike was blocking the magic, the wizard made his way forward. Once the Master was close enough he stop the back magic beam and casted a spell the Drake removing his magic. Spike dropped to his knee's feeling weaker, it allowed the Master to turn around and buck Spike in the face. Master Nightmare looked at the Dragon on the floor with joy. "lets see how you do with out magic."
All Scootaloo could do was watch in horror as the tides turn in the Master favour. A sound from behind the orange Pegasus made her ears twitch Making Scootaloo turn her head. Scootaloo was over joyed to see her children and Thorax poking their heads out of the door. Spike saw his children as he got up and he knew what he had to do, Keep the Master busy no matter what while they freed Scootaloo. "Don't worry." Spike span around and wacked the colt with his tail send him flying into the wall. "I think ill be fine."
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The Snow pushed on getting stronger by the minute; Tirex Stood before Sunset towing over her, it wasn't his biggest form but he was still big to a pony. And yet Sunset wasn't terrified like she thought she was going to be. Instead Sunset was eager to start fighting she want to show Tirex who was stronger.
"So you must be the new element of magic? I can only hope you'll be as worthy opponent as your predecessor." Tirex smirked lifting his fist as magic covered around Sunset lifting her as well. Tirex repeatedly brought his fist down Smashing Sunset against the ground again and again, before leaving her on the ground feeling confused and weak. "It appears not. such a shame."
Sunset shook her head clearing it. once she felt clear Sunset used the power of her element sent Tirex into a crowed of Changelings. "You don't have the first idea of who your dealing with." Sunset smirked, she enjoyed feeling like a badass.
In the meantime Twilight and Nightfall Worked with each other in perfect harmony took down Changelings. they worked together in such synch as a mother and son team. King Sombra Galloped through the battle at fast speed, Sombra leaped through the air before landing in front of the pair.
Cadence and Flurry looked at the colt with hatred, while Sombra smirked his evil crooked grin. "Finally! A chance to take out the Bitch who stood in front of me the first time!"
"I wont let you!" Nightfall levitate a sword over to her. Nightfall wasn't strong in using magic, he was never as good as his mothers, Nightfall just didn't have the same magical abilities. Nightfall's Parents had such great powerful magic and he could never live up to their ability. The colt had learned the basics but anything beyond that was out of his realm . However Nightfall was skilful with a sword Thanks to Agile and Her Training, she hoped its enough to work with.
"Well lets take out the weakling shell we." Sombra's horn glowed picking Nightfall up and throwing him to the Side, the back of her head hitting the corner of a brick wall on a shop; hard.
"NO!" Twilight followed the sound of where nightfall landed. Nightfall's eyes were closed but luckily Twilight felt no blood coming out of the back of his head. Twilight put her head to where Nightfall's heart would be, the purple Alicorn could hear a heart beat letting her know that her son was only unconscious. Twilight held her Nightfall tightly Squeezing him as she whispered "Im not going to lose you just yet". tears poured on Nightfall's fur.
"Your weak. Your emotions make you weak and that its why you will fall." King Sombra unsheathed his sword waiting.
"No I you will fall. no pony touches my boy!" Twilight Exclaims putting Nightfall down gently.
Twilight turned around facing the king, not she would know any way. Sombra began to circle Twilight carefully trying not to make a sound. But Twilight Could still hear his hoof steps as he made his way around. Suddenly Sombra lunches him self from behind Twilight But she pick him up with magic and throws him in front of her.
Sombra lands feeling a bit dazed but soon gets up. "I am going to make short work of this." He lights up his horn Picking up objects from the battlefield then continued to throw said objects. Unfortunately for Twilight she couldn't hear them coming and began to smacked about by glass, dead bodies and bricks that were scattered about. As Twilight tried to doge the on coming barge of objects heading her way she didn't Her Sombra Making his way towards Until was too late. Sombra pulled out his sword and stabbed the princess right in the heart.
Cadence turned around to see Twilight being stabbed and galloped forward behind Sombra pulling him away and jumping atop of him plunging a spare right through him. Cadence and Sombra landed on the floor, but Before Sombra could bet back up. The pink alicorn Grabs his sword and slits his throat in one swift motion. "Lets see how long it takes you to recover from that!" Cadence Picks up Twilights dead body and Nightfall's unconscious body and moves them out the battlefield to somewhere safer.
Else where in the battle. Dragon lord Ember watched she saw here soldiers taken down by the cannons coming from the castle. Ember searched through the battlefield until her eyes came across the drake she was looking for. The dragoness flew down Spikey. "Spike I need your help?"
Spikey turned around to see a Blue female dragon in gold colour armour. "Sorry wrong Spike, your looking for the other one." Spikey answered before turning around to catch a Changeling in mid air and snap his neck like with his claws.
"Damn it!" Ember looked back Spikey "Do you know where I can find him?"
"Yep his in the Castle battling Master Nightmare." Spikey stated like it was obvious.
"Of course, stupid, stupid Ember." Ember closed her eyes and put her forehead in her claws. Ember looked up at Spikes duplicate and decided to make do with what she had. "Spike I need your help?"
"What do you need? And call me Spikey its easier." Spike looked Ember curiously.
"Well Spikey, there's cannons on the Castle and they are taking out half of my army. If you want our help we need to take those cannons out." Ember Explained keeping her cool.
"Okay, I'll help." Spike agreed.
"So will I" Twilight rushed up next to Spike. "Im not letting my number one assistant go with out me."
"Okay fine lets go." Ember started flapping her wings while Twilight Jumped on Spikes back. Spike Soon caught up with Ember and headed to the castle. The cannon's continued to fire trying to stop Spikey and Ember who dodged over and under, swooping from left to right making sure the cannon balls didn't hit you. Once they were above the cannons Ember started to come up with a plan. "Right now what im thinking is. We destroy the cannon's and kill who ever is using them to blast my Dragon Warriors out of the sky."
"We cant hurt those Ponies. They are being brain washed by King Sombra Spell." Spikey explains as he looks down.
"Well what do you think we should do?" Ember asks crossing her arms.
Two minutes late Spikey carefully placed Twilight on top of the Castle roof tops "HEY EVERYPONY! THE MASTER IS GIANT NUMPTY!" Twilight shouted getting all of the brain washed Ponies attention before galloping off making them chase her. Twilight lead the Ponies around the corner, which lead them right into hole in the roof causing them to fall a couple of floors down. Spikey and Ember fly over the Castle dropping fire balls over the cannon destroying all of the cannons. Ember congratulated Spikey on a perfectly formulated plan, Spikey picked Twilight up off of the roof and flew back to the Battle with Ember.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Spike dropped to the floor as Master Nightmare was distracted by the sounds of explosions. The Master rushed to the windows looking out seeing the cannon's destroyed and his brain washed slaves were no where to be seen. Rage filled the wizard causing his horn to glow red making a sound explosion that took all of the window's out brining in more cold winter air.
Spike Smirked "Seems my team is better then what you think."
"YOUR TEAM IS USELESS!!!" The Master charged forward pointing his horn.
Spike easily dodged the attack letting him hit the wall. "Seems like somepony is getting desperate. Afraid of losing?"
"NEVER!!!!" Master blasted the Drake back with magic and so continued their fight.
While Still unnoticed Agile, Blazing and Thorax worked out how to free Scootaloo. They had tried to blast it and force it open with magic, nothing. Agile tried to cut the chains with her sword but still no such luck.
"Hurry up Guys! Your Dad needs our help." Scootaloo said as she watched the fight go on eager to fight.
An memory hits Agile's head like Apple bloom bucking an Apple tree. "Hold on Everypony. I've seen this in a book that Blazing showed me!"
"What do you mean that Blazing showed you? Your the one who lives in the castle with a library!" Thorax asks confused.
"Yeah but I never read anything out of there. When Blazing isn't making clothes he's in my Library reading." Agile turned to Blazing. "Any way a book you showed me had a picture of this prison."
Blazing's eyes open wide as remembered what had read about the prison in front of him. "I know how to free mum. Somepony has to gladly take her Place and come up with a good reason why."
Silence started as each of them looked at each other waiting for one of them to volunteer to take Scootaloo's Place. it wasn't until Thorax sighed braking the Silence. "I'll do it."
"Are you sure?" Agile asks
"Yeah, im not really apart of your Family. And it looks like Spike needs his family. So what do I say?" Blazing whispered the words into Thorax's ears. "Prison hear me now take my body instead of her I am much more Powerful."
The Shackles glowed green releasing Scootaloo, only for Thorax to step on locking him in place. Scootaloo turned around "Thanks Thorax, I Promise will get you out."
"Its fine Just go get that asshole." Scootaloo Smirked at that and Left to help Spike With her children by her Side.
Spike Slid back from where the Master Had thrown him almost falling out of the hole Spike made earlier. Spike saw his Family approaching from behind Master Nightmare making Smile. Spike inhaled deeply before blowing Fire at the old colt blinding him. Scootaloo came galloping up, Spread out her wings and kick him from behind sending the master towards Spike who retaliated with a punched the Masters muzzle with his metal claw. The Master bounced forwards and backwards between Spike and Scootaloo, both of them delivering blows high and low keeping him confused. Spike gave Master Nightmare a tail whack towards Agile.
The green mane'd mare brought out her sword and began slashing and cutting away at the Wizard while she kept moving fast and agile at the Same time. Once their was enough sword wounds Agile stretched out wings and Began to fly while in mid Air She Picked Master Nightmare up digging in her claws at the end of her hoof before throwing him toward her Brother. Blazing caught the wizard with his magic then threw him on the ground. Blazing repeatedly slammed him down on the floor, each time slam got louder on then the last. Blazing brought Master Nightmare down for the last time and held him there. The Master was weak but he still tried to struggled but his horn couldn't do anything to Blazing's magic.
Spike Smiled walking over to the master. "You don't mess with my Family." Spike Looked at his family with pride then back down to The Master. "You. are. beaten. Now be a good colt and Send Tirex had his friends back to where they came from."
Master Nightmare began to manically laugh. "You fool did you not hear a word of what I said three years ago. They die when you die, I cant Send them back."
Spike went deaf to everything after hearing what the Master said. All his plans had been destroyed once again by the same colt in front of him. Spike could hear the muffled tones of his family shouting, either calling the Master a liar or trying to figure out away around the spell. It didn't matter, Spike Knew what he had to do. but Spike took a long glance at his wife and children savouring in their faces on last. Spike Cupped Scootaloo face in his claws before kissing her Deeply. "Scoots, I love you. Take care now." Spike ran to the edge where hole in wall is. Spike turned around and fell backwards landing on the debris, a sharp piece of glass pierced through Spikes chest.
Scootaloo, Agile and Blazing flew down to their dad. "Spike! No! Please no!" Scootaloo cried.
"DADDY NO!" Agile cuddle her mum.
Blazing noticed Spikes arms Move. "He's Still alive!"
Spike Grabbed hold Blazing and pulled him in close so he could whisper into his. "I-In... The village... The.... Spell."
And Just Like that Spike was Dead. Tirek, King Sombra and Queen Chrysalis started to glow red and crack up be exploding, While Discord glowed gold and faded away. The changeling saw they were out matched and layed down their weapons and surrendered. The Master transformed back into his old Star Swirl the Bearded look. Filled with anger Scootaloo flew up to the throne room Finding Star Swirl the Bearded on the floor try get away. Scootaloo drag the old colt back he screamed fear as she pinned him down and reputedly hit him until he died and Scootaloo was a sobbing mess on the Floor of the throne room.

Yes I know im evil but I had a lot of fun writing this Chapter.
Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter XVII. The Aftermath.
"Spike!"
"SPIKE!"
"SPIKE!"
"SPIKE!"
Spike eyes flew open only to be blinded bright white light. Spike shielded his eyes with his wing, giving him time to adjust to the bright light. As his eyes adjusted to the light silhouette's started to form. It was Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and all his friends from ponyville.
"Welcome Spike. Its good to see you." Smile brightly down at the Drake.
"Um... Hello Princess... Its, er, its good to see you too. I think." Spike greeted as got up off of the dirt path way.
Spike Looked around him self, he seemed to be in Ponyville's town centre but something felt off about it. The world had a certain glow or shine to it, and there were no pony about trotting along. Spike looked up at the sun it was mid day but no pony was out either working, shopping or just having general fun. Then the obvious hit him, the sun was out, the skies were clear, it looked like a beautiful summers day in Ponyville. But last he remembered it was winter and a snow storm was going on outside, something was wrong.
"Please Spike. There's no need for formalities in the afterlife!" Luna Smiled.
"What?!" It was like Luna open a flood gate as he remembered jumping off of the Canterlot castle on to the Debris below.
"Luna!" Celestia scowled her sister.
"What?" Luna shrugged not seeing the harm.
"I was going to brake it to him gently. But now I might as well tell him every thing." Celestia Glared at Luna.
"His a tough drake he'll be fine Tia." Luna Waved her hoof dismissively.
"That's not the point Lulu." Celestia cleared her throat before talking to Spike. "Yes, your dead, but don't be upset you stopped Star Swirl and Equestria is Safe thanks to you."
That information gave Spike some relief that he didn't leave Equestria in danger "Okay then... So where are we? It looks like Ponyville it looks and feels off, I can tell."
Celestia smiled at Spike. "He really had got to smart for his own good " Celestia thought. "At the moment we are in the waiting place. See its undecided if its your time to go into the afterlife or back home to Equestria. And the reason it looks like ponyville is its the place you feel most Safe. You see everyponies waiting Place is different, My waiting place was the Canterlot Gardens."
"My Waiting Place was my bedroom with Twilight in Canterlot castle." Luna Spoke up.
Spike felt bad as Luna mentioned Twilight. "Luna Im sorry, But Twilight lost her eye sight and I-"
Luna put her hoof over the purple Dragon's mouth silence him. "I know, I saw everything and you tried everything, also you cant do everything. You can only do your best and from what I saw you did exactly the that."
"You Guys saw everything?" Spike ask curiously.
"Yes we did. And before we hand you over to your friends I want to talk to you. I've even got Rainbow Dash holding Pinkie back." Spike look behind Celestia and true to form Rainbow was hold Pinkie back, Pinkies arms flailing about despite to reach Spike. "I want to tell you Spike that this was always your Destiney Spike. You was always going to be Equestria's guardian and I could be prouder Spike. You always Put Equestria first time and time again, always being there as its protector. Equestria will always need a Spike to keep them safe." Celestia pulled the drake in hugging Spike Tightly. Celestia never had a foal and Spike closest thing to a son she could have. Celestia let go of Spike drying her eyes with her hoof. "Now. I think I've kept you from your friends long enough."
Spike Smiled at Celestia she was the closest thing to mum then anypony else. "Thanks Mum." Spike left to walk over to his friends only to be knocked over By Pinkie
"Its super duper good to see you." Pinkie Squeezed Spike Tightly.
"Its... good... to see... you too." Spike replied.
"Come on Pinkie stop crushing Spike." Rainbow laughed pulling Pinkie off of the drake
"It sure is good to see ya sugarcube." Applejack greeted while offered her hoof to the Purple Dragon, to which he greatly accepted.
"Thanks, its good to see you all. Including you Fluttershy and you little Rosie, I see you two at the back." Spike says Seeing Fluttershy stand reversely with Rosie.
"I would like to tell you something, just in case if you go back. Because I don't want Anon feeling bad. If that's ok, that is." Fluttershy walked up to Spike with Rosie.
"Sure what is it?"
"Well, I want you to tell Anon we don't blame him for Rosie's death. We don't blame you either just in case If you thought that." just then Applejack stood next to Fluttershy with Rosie.
"No we don't, it we're an accident no pony or Dragon we're at fault." Applejack nuzzled Fluttershy and Rosie.
"Thank you. Both of you, it means a lot." Spike smiled.
"No Problem Partner just being truthful." Applejack tipped her hat.
"Hey Spike I have to have a word with you As Scootaloo's older sister?" Rainbow held a stern face.
"Um, sure..."
"As an older sister I must tell you've done awesome with Scootaloo and I couldn't be happier with how you've looked after her. Not that she need looking after of course, but you get the sentiment." Rainbow's faced softened to a warm smile extended her hoof for hoof bump.
Spike made his claw in to a fist bumped and her hoof. "Cheers dash, it means a lot."
"No Problem Bud. Now no more mushy stuff."
"You got it Rainbow."
"Spike! Gotta tell you something as well!" Pinkie Bounced in front of the dragon.
"Sure what's up Pinkie?"
"Well first off why did the writer make this story so Celestia damn depressing, like was he going emo or something, geez." Pinkie looks At theponywriter22 with stern eyes.
Spike looked At Pinkie confused, but then Smiled at how she hadn't changed. "Okay... anything else?"
"Yes! Thank you for looking out for Anon. I know killing Anon would of stop big meanie Star Swirly as so thanks for not killing him Spikey." Pinkie Gave Spike a light hug.
"I wasn't going to let Anon die for me I am the one who protects everypony else its my job." Spike answer waving it off.
Pinkie stopped bouncing too look at Spike seriously. "I know that's what makes you brilliant. Also if you go back tell Anon im happy that he found happiness with Applebloom."
"Wow that's big of you Pinkie. I'll be sure to tell him if I return that is." Spike smiled
"Yah also tell anon if doesn't treat Applebloom right he got me to deal with ya hear." Applejack warned.
"Will do." Spike chuckled.
"Oh I do Love a good a reunion." An ominous voice announced.
"Who said that?" Rosie asks?
"That would be me dear little Rosie, Discord the god chaos and disorder." Discord appeared next to Spike.
"Discord!" Fluttershy Galloped over to the Draconequus to be greeted by Discords open arms hugging her tightly.
"I missed you too Fluttershy." Discord Smiled.
"How are you even here?" Rainbow asks confused.
"Well apparently resisting Master Nightmare was enough to get into the good books. Discord Explained.
"Good im Glad. You earned it." Spike gave Discord a pat on the back.
"Thank you Spike I-" Discords words fell away as he saw Celestia.
Discord Put Fluttershy down gently and teleported in front of the White alicorn. "Its been to long my love." Discord leaned over and Kissed Celestia on the lips.
"Too long Discord. Too Long" Celestia smiled at discord.
There was a long silent pause caused by the shocked Ponies around the couple until Spike called out "Called it!"
"You did so well to get here Discord." the blue alicorn prised.
"Thanks Lulu it was tough I could tell you, but it was all for Celestia." discord stretched his arms clicking his figures.
"Its a shame your in waiting too. you also my go back to join the living." Celestia sighed sadly
"WHAT?!" Discord and Spike exclaimed.
"But I died long time ago?" Discord scratched his head in confusion.
Cadence Stared at the ground while she spoke. "Yes, But you was taken from a time you were obviously were not meant to be taken from. Otherwise you wouldn't be here. You would be with Twilight in the other realm. The only reason we are here is so we can greet and meet you both until its decided weather or not you stay or go."
Spike's eyes go wide in shock. "Twilights dead?"
"Yes she died in battle defending Nightfall against King Sombra." Luna Explained sadly
"Well This sucks!" Discord Crossed his arms frowning.
"I know this isn't ideal but-" Celestia was cut off as Spike shouted.
"Can anyone else feel that?!" Spike asks alarmed.
Discord Frowns, scratching his head "I cant feel anything."

The Day After Spike's death.
Scootaloo and Blazing were side by side flying through the Equestrian skies towards the village they had been using as a temporary home and base. "Are you Sure" Scootaloo asks unsure not wanting to get her hopes up.
After his father's last words, Blazing was sure that there was way to Save his dad. So he told Scootaloo not want to tell Agile just in case it didn't work. Once Blazing told his mum what Spike said, Scootaloo decided on the Spot to go to the village. Blazing looked his mum in they eyes while they flew "Dead certain"
"I hope so!" Scootaloo swallowed a lump in her throat.
"Why are we flying there? I could of teleported us there quicker." Blazing asks.
"I need to stretch out my wings I haven't flew in a while since being ill. that's why." Scootaloo's answer seemed to have shut Blazing up since he couldn't come up a good counter argument, instead he remained silent. Once arriving at they tucked in their wings and turned to each other. "Where should we check first?" Scootaloo asks looking at her son.
"Well best bet would be the house you and dad stayed in here." Blazing surgusted point to the exact house.
"Sounds good to me Blazing." Scootaloo answered followed Blazing.
Blazing and Scootaloo searched the house from top to bottom. searching through draws and cupboards, they turned the furniture over but yet they found nothing. "I don't get it. This is where you stayed, where else would he keep it?" Blazing asks aloud.
Scootaloo stood their and ponder for a bit thinking about where Spike spent most of his time while they were there. "Well your father trained him self in the cave by the mountains most of the time he was here."
"Well its better then nothing mum." With that Scootaloo and Blazing made their way to the cave, their hopes still strong.
The cave was dark and damp it led to Blazing lighting the torches with his fire breath. The cave wasn't relatively big but big enough to hid something in here. "Why don't you search in the back while I search in up here in the front?"
"Way ahead of you mum." Blazing trotted further into the cave lighting up a few more torches along the way.
Scootaloo start by searching the inside of the walls and the floor, checking for any secret compartments that Spike might of hidden what ever it was they were looking for. After find nothing Scootaloo turned to the next idea, The cave was littered with rock piles at least on of them had to have what they were looking for. After taking a down all of the smaller rock piles, Scootaloo made her way over to the biggest rock pile. Her hopes were wavering, they had been search this town for while and they hadn't seen any sign of anything left behind. This rock pile in front of her was her last hope, with that in mind she began tearing down the heavy rocks. Scootaloo struggled with a few rocks but her sheer determination pushed her though, all that was left was a small wooden chest. Scootaloo's eyes widening in surprise and joy. "BLAZING! I found something!"
Blazing galloped over to his mum. "What did you find?"
"This chest!" Scootaloo point at the ground at where it was.
"This is it. I can feel it." Blazing put his horn to the chest unlocking and opening the chest.
Inside was a piece of paper, chalk and a single gem. The paper read; A Possible way to save Scootaloo! must alter spell! It needs blood to work! and underneath was the spell it self.
From the pits Tartarus bring back those who were lost in death, those of pure dark magic to under my control for my own use keeping me alive for the rest of eternity.
Blazing Looked up at Scootaloo with joy. "I think I can get dad back but its gonna take time!"
"How long?" Scoots asks worried.
"I would say a week at the most?" Blazing answered.
"Better get working then." Scootaloo orders in happy tone.
"Yes ma'am!" Blazing saluted with his hoof.

In Canterlot:One week later After Spike's death
The Snow had turned to rain melting what was left of the Snow on the ground away. Agile held a Funeral For Spike In the ceremony hall's where Cadence and Shining Armour got married and Twilight was crowned Princess of friendship. You and all of Spikes closest friends were there; Ember, Cadence, the Dazzlings, Applebloom and the mane 7 stayed. Even Nightfall and Ace turned up out of respect to the dead King.
The only Ponies not to show up was Queen Scootaloo and Prince Spike, wife and child of the dead drake. The pair had been missing all week and could not be found. While the entirety of Equestria came to Canterlot and stood outside in the rain out of love, remorse and respect for Spike.
Once everypony had taken their seats, Agile got up from her and took her place at the podium beside the coffin. Agile cleared her throat getting everyponies attention before talking. "We are here again to say good by to another fallen ruler. But Spike was different From his adoptive Sister Twilight. Spike ruled with a heavy heart but he gave that heart to anypony who need his help, No matter the size of the problem he was there to listen and give advice his wisdom knew no bounds. Not only was Spike a great king but a great Father, I can recall many a happy day Playing games and... and celebrating Birthdays or Hearts Warming's." Agile stopped to dry the tears in her eyes as the memories came flooding in. She couldn't continue and took her seat back in the crowds pouring her eyes out.
You take it apon your self and trot up to the podium continuing from Agile. "Um.. well. Not Only was Spike a great king and father but an great soldier as well. He Saved Equestria time and time again on behave of all of us and for the this reason I say we name him Equestria's Guardian. A brave Drake who did so much for so many others."
"And he's not done yet!" Everypony turned around and to their shock Spike stood in the doorway between Scootaloo and Agile.
"Daddy!" Agile gallop into her fathers loving arms hugging Tightly as tears streamed down her face. "I thought I lost you."
"No, I always be here when you need me." After Cuddling Agile Spike trotted down towards the coffin and took his place in front of the podium. "Im sorry that I faked my own death Everypony but I had to be sure all the evil dark magic is gone. And now that I am. I have returned, but I Will be stepping Down as ruler of Equestria and these will be my last orders as king. First I will Have Flurry Heart take place as ruler of the night to replace of my Late sister Twilight." Spike looks to Flurry. "I think she has earned it. Flurry Heart you have shown to be a very capable Pony I have no doubt you will do a grand job in place of Twilight. And I know she wouldn't be happier knowing that you had taken her place."
"Thank my King, I wont let you down." Flurry Heart bowed.
Spike Cleared his throat as spoke again "And to take my Place as ruler of Equestria is None other then my own Daughter Agile Sparkle!"
"Father do you think im ready?" Agile ask unsure.
"Agile You shown Wisdom Courage, Kindness and up most compassion. You are ready Sweetheart." Spike Smiled down at Flurry. "But note this everypony, as take my leave from being your King this does not mean if Equestria is danger that I wont be there. No I will always be there when Equestria needs me. I will always be Equestria Guardian."

Life was hard with out his old friends but his knew friends and family helped him through it.

"Applebloom had made dinner and we were all waiting for you but you didn't turned up. I was worried something had happened to you." Scootaloo put a hoof on Spikes Shoulder.
"Sorry scoot I guess I got carried away talking to them." Spike got up putting his metal claw on Twilight's grave stone stroking it gently.
"Its fine Spike but its time we went home Everypony is waiting for us." Scootaloo smiled warmly.
"Yeah time to go home. Ill see you guy's next week." Spike walked with Scootaloo down the hill with her head resting on his Side as they made their way home.

Chapter I. Thirty Years Later
It was a calm cold crisp autumn night. Twilight had just taken rule Over Equestria as she raises the moon for the night. Twilight Watched over the Ponies of Equestria while they nestled snug in their bed's sleeping the night away, after along days working in the light of King Spike's sun. Twilight stood out onto the Castle balcony, stretched her wings and started to take flight. Twilight Flew Over Canterlot and Ponyville looking down at the dark houses and empty streets lit up by the street lamps.
Twilight could understand why Luna would find ruling the night lonely, but to Twilight it made her feel closer to Luna, Being about during the day made Twilight feel more lonely even with her son Nightfall around. Ever Since the time Twilight Left Canterlot leaving her son with Spike And Scootaloo, Twilight was never there for her Nightfall. She missed all over his birthday's sending a card with some bits inside, Twilight felt that Nightfall was better off with out his mother feeling that she would make his life so much more worse. Everypony tried to tell Twilight otherwise but no one could get through to her, she just wouldn't listen to reason.
And When Nightfall was old enough he moved out to live in Ponyville and got a job working in Sweet Apple Acres Thanks to the generosity of Applejack, Fluttershy and their Daughter Rosie. Unfortunately during one of the summer's the Barn Caught fire killing Both Applejack and Fluttershy. Twilight attended the Funeral but ignored her son and dodged out his way. It hurt Twilight so bad to treat her son like that but She had it strongly fixed in her head that it was best if Nightfall had nothing to do with her. Since Nightfall had moved to Ponyville, Twilight moved Back to the Canterlot castle and slept in her old room where Luna used to sleep. it wasn't long until Twilight Heard of her son's wedding, she even got invite, but yet she still didn't go. And to this day Twilight has never met her son's Partner or their foal she didn't even know about her son's foal.
Soon Twilight reached her destination, the hill with Rainbow's, Rarity's, Applejack's and Fluttershy's graves were, their gravestone were the their thrones from the castle of friend ship, each Throne fell as the pony in question fell. Twilight saw Spike standing in front of the graves, Twilight silently landed behind Spike and started to slowly trot up next to him.
"Hello Twilight." Spike greeted Twilight coldly, catching Twilight off guard.
"Hi Spike." Twilight Stood next to Spike.
They both stood their in silence, moments past Before Spike Spoke up Aging. "So you got time to visit your friends?" Spike still spoke coldly towards Twilight to which she was used to by now.
"Why, who should I be visiting?" Twilight knew well who Spike was hinting at.
"How about your son. He's got so much to talk to you about, like his life for instance!" Spike glared at her.
"How about After visiting my friends, I go visit my wife." Twilight told Spike.
"You know you cant ignore Nightfall forever, when The master wants to reveal himself he'll-." Spike was interrupted by Twilight.
"Would you stop going on about this master, King Sombra was delusional and Rarity was sick her mind corrupted by dark magic. There's nothing else coming Spike, Why don't you go back to your sick wife?" Twilight spat
"Do you know what I will if means getting away from you I will. (Spike turns to the grave stones) Im sorry for this goodnight girls. Goodnight Princess." Spike refused to Call Twilight by her name, she was no longer the elder sister that he so fondly remembered.
"Goodnight Your Majesty." Twilight replied making Spike frown, before he took off back to the Canterlot Castle.
Twilight started to cry as she looked at the thrones and thinks about the time before Rarity losing her mind, before King Sombra and the death of her friends and tutor: Princess Celestia. Back when life was fun, carefree and the happiest Twilight had ever been, back When Twilight had to sneak into the Canterlot Castle to be with Luna.
Suddenly Twilight heard the sound of hooves steps behind her, Twilight turned Around to see who it was. To her surprise it was nightfall was slowly making his way towards her with a nervous look on his face. Twilight felt her stomach turn in on self, wrecked with guilt Twilight was about to leave until he called out making her stop.
"Mother wait!" Nightfall pleaded.
"What do you need? Money?" Twilight asked sounding cold.
"No forget damn money, I need to talk to you, There are things I need to say, may we talk?" Nightfall held his hoping his mother would agree.
Twilight thought this out in her head, mentally arguing with her self until one side of her head lost the battle. He at least deserves to talk to me , Twilight thought. "Very well, lets walk and talk, I don't want to do this in front of my friends." Nightfall nodded gratefully and followed his mum hoping he would be able to find answers.
Twilight and Nightfall started to walk through the through the Ever Free Forest, sweat dripped from the Twilight as she felt her heart beat rapidly scared of what her son had to say.
"Mum I just want you to know that im not angry at you, annoyed mostly. but I know that you kept your distance out fear that you might make it worse. and that the death of Mother was your fault, you should know I am thirty two years old and I don't look a day over twenty five. I will out live my Family friends and the ponies I love the most, it scares me very day I want to be able to talk to mum." Nightfall Watch his mum as thought about what he had just said.
Twilight still resisted as her mind was dead set on not being apart of nightfall's life. "No you would do better with out me in your life. I'll only make it worse, I'll ruin the life you've built for your self." Twilight argued
"No you wont! You have to stop to stop blaming your self I don't blame you, I've never blamed you. It was Rarity's fault, the Dark Magic inside her had effected her so bad it fooled everypony."
Twilight hanged her head low as a tear fell from her eye. "Your.... your right of course. Im so sorry I never meant to hurt you, only protect you." Twilight stroked her son check lovingly the only way a mother could. "My Baby Boy all grown up, I've always been so proud of how you've grown, im sorry that I wasn't there for when you were growing up."
"Its okay Mum, we have an eternity to catch up." Nightfall smiled warmly at Twilight.
Twilight and Nightfall stopped walking as reached the old Castle of the two sisters where Celestia and Luna where buried. Before entering the castle, Twilight pulled Nightfall into a deep hug that last for about two minutes. Twilight pulled away smiling warmly at her son once more before entering the castle with Nightfall by her side.
After visiting Luna, Twilight walked back to Ponyville with her son, they talked all the way back.
"I can't wait to tell you Everything!" Nightfall was just so happy to have his mum back.
"And I cant wait to hear all about it, but its a little late, why don't you come to the Canterlot Castle Tomorrow for lunch?" Twilight smiled genuinely excited to hear about her son's life.
"Can I bring Ace?" Nightfall exclaimed energetically.
"Sure, is he your son?"
"No he's my Husband." Nightfall snickered.
Twilight look wide eyed in shock at her son "You mean your gay?"
"Yeah. What's wrong with that?" Nightfall asked defensively.
"Oh nothing, it just took me by surprise that's all." Twilight reassured him.
Nightfall calmed back down "can I also bring our daughter Crimson, she's always wanted to meet you."
"Sure, I cant wait to meet her, Im sure she's lovely" Twilight answered.
They stopped out walking finally Reaching Nightfall's house, Twilight stood outside with Nightfall about to say their goodnights. "Before we say our Goodnights, there's one thing that's bugging me how did you know I was going to be at the graves of my friends?"
"Spike told me you do it every weekend Night ." Nightfall answered honestly.
Twilight smiled as she heard her son's answer. "Of course he did, that crafty drake I must thank him later."
Twilight and nightfall said there Goodnights, as Nightfall entered his closed his door, Twilight left to go back to work, making sure the Ponies of Equestria are safe but both were feeling better then ever.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Spike landed outside the front gates of the Canterlot Castle, as Spike walked through front gates Twilights Bat Pony guards bowed. Spike made his way to the Front door's of the castle to be met by more of Twilights Bat Pony guards.
"King Spike?!" the Bat Pony Guard bowed.
"Please stand down." Spike ordered in slightly begging tone.
The Bat Pony stood to attention. "Thank you, your Majesty you shouldn't be out this late."
Spike snaps at the Guard. "Im a big Drake I can look after my self, and don't think its your place to say is it?"
The Bat pony frowns as fear kicks in. "No, sorry your Majesty."
Spike enters the Castle and walks down the corridor his head filled with thoughts from the last fifty years. Soon Spike reached the door to his room, guards bowed as Spike entered. Spike got into the bed and sat up stroking Scootaloo's mane as he watched her sleep. Spike starts to cry looking at his wife pale, sick looking skin, Scootaloo had been diagnosed with a fatal life threatening illness. Scootaloo can no longer fly or walk her heart cant handle the pressure so she has to be pushed around in wheelchair. Scootaloo was hooked up to a Blood bag and iv drip. her heart rate monitor all Spike could hear was the slow beat of his wife's heart.
Scootaloo has at the least two years left to live!
Spike's sobbing starts to wake Scootaloo up from her slumber making Spike dry his eyes quickly making sure Scootaloo doesn't know and failing.
"Don't tell me you've started crying over me again?" Scootaloo ask in a raspy tone.
"Nah just got something in my eye." Spike lied on the spot.
"Good, I don't want any Pony or Dragon getting all emotional on me now." Scootaloo pulls Spike in for a light couple of kisses.
"Scoot's can I ask you something stupid?"
"Sure anything."
"Are you scared of dying?"
"Of course I am, im terrified."
"But how do you stay so calm about it?" Spike asks confused.
"Because I know if I go around being scared it... it makes it so much worse for everypony else." Scootaloo gave Spike warm smile.
Spike looks at his wife with pride. "Still making it better for everypony else." Spike smiles and Kisses Scootaloo before cuddling up to her and falling a sleep, the only sound that could be heard was Scootaloo's heart beat on the monitor.
Tomorrow Morning.
Spike walked in the to find Scootaloo already awake and looking out the window then turn at him and smile weakly, a yawn escapes Spikes mouth before smiling back at Scootaloo.
"How long have you been awake for?" Spike ask worried.
"An hour or so, I watched you raise the sun." Scootaloo turns to look out the window.
"You should get some more sleep." Spike told her.
"Why? Makes no difference, I wanna see as much as I can." Scootaloo sigh's sadly.
The last comment from Spikes wife makes him think before put the thought back for later. "So shall we get washed?"
Scootaloo did say anything but nod her head instead, Spike got up out of bed and walked round to her the orange mare. Spike stopped the Iv Drip and Heat Rate Monitor since she only needed them at night. Spike Carried his mare into the showers dragging the metal stand that's Scootaloo's blood bag with them. Spike turn the shower head on to a light spray, Scootaloo revelled in the warm water the feeling of it running down her fur was bliss. It got better when Spike started to rub his soapy claws gently over her body massaging her muscles. After the shower Spike gently dry Scootaloo before carrying her over to her wheelchair taking down to the dinning room.
Spike placed the wheelchair at the table and sat at the opposite to Scootaloo, the table wasn't massively large as you would expect in a castle this size. The castle's chef entered the dinning hall dressed in very clean chefs attire, he bowed before his king and Queen be asking what they would want to eat. Spike orders waffles and Apple juice while Scootaloo orders a very light salad and water stay true to the doctors orders.
they didn't have to wait long as their food was brought out not long after they order them, for a while they sat in silence eat their breakfast's enjoying each company.
Scootaloo was the first to break the silence. "Don't you just wish you could rewind time?"
"No, not if means all of my memories of you are gone." Spike replied.
"You hopeless romantic, you." Scootaloo poked out her tongue.
"...Im going to have to leave you today scoot, im sorry." Spike apologies.
"Ugh! where are you going today?"
"Im going to see Agile." Spike stated.
Since Starlight moved to Manehattan to live with Trixie so they could start a new life together. The friendship castle was given Princess Agile when she got her Cutie Mark. Agile was the last to get her cutie mark, Twilight theorised the reason of Agile's late development is most likely to do with being half be more like a Dragon then a pony. Agile's cutie mark turned out to be a pair of wings with a sword down the middle symbolising that Agile's Special Talent was flying and something else they hadn't worked out yet. Agile became one of the best fliers in Equestria maybe even better then the great Rainbow Dash her self. It wasn't long until she became a Wonder Bolt and started to tour with them going to so many different places and performing there. Agile met Apple Charm when she was on tour at Appaloosa after talking to each other and few dates they to become Special Some Ponies, and it was long until their love grew so much that got married. Apple Charm moved in after the Wedding, she now lives happily the castle with her wife and they couldn't be happier. Scootaloo Spike And Applebloom were so over joyed for the both of them, even Agile's brother Blazing Diamond shed a tear or two at the wedding.
"Why don't I come with you?" Scootaloo suggested.
"No, you need your rest, ill send her your love." Spike frowned, he didn't like talking to his wife like that but he have find out his plans.
"Ok. fine." Scootaloo huffed in defeat.
Spike looked at the clock on the wall and eat his breakfast quickly seeing that he could be late he gave his wife a kiss and left leaving her to eat in silence.

You sat in the kitchen eating your breakfast waiting for your Daughter to help set Sugar Cube Corner up while you go visit Pinkie Whose in hospital due to her old age. Everyday you wake, get washed, make your self breakfast and sit at your kitchen table thinking about what you were going to say to your wife especially since you don't age, watching your wife age in front of your eyes.
In most ways you were angry, you never knew you were going to live for thousands of years, you didn't know that you weren't able to grow old with your wife. One day you started to notice wrinkles on pinkie and you didn't, you just thought years were being kind on you. But then as years went on you notice your appearance was still not changing, Scared you went to visit your best friend Spike. Once Spike calmed you down and found out what had got you so frightened, he reluctantly told you couldn't age and that you would live for thousands of years.
Your anger burst at the seems and rage took over and you screamed, shouted and swore at Spike, Pissed you left the Castle Galloped to an the field where you and Spike trained and shouted and screamed in rage all over again. Soon that rage and anger turned to sadness and you began to cry out, it wasn't long before pinkie found you. Once you told her everything Pinkie gave you the sweetest smile and took all those worries away.
The sound of the shop bell brought you out of your thoughts, you enter the front of the shop to see a dark cerise unicorn with a dark green mane, your daughter Shindig Pie. When Pinkie Pie was Pregnant for the first time she had miss carried and the baby was born dead. It took them another ten years before they could try again and Shindig was born. You would think having an name like Shindig you would expect her to be upbeat and light hearted girl but yet she was far from it. Ever Since Shindig was a teen she had no time for anypony else, a rebellious teen trying to stand out from her parents. Shindig disobeyed every rule you had, consistently got into trouble at School and she got older Shindig bucked any stallion she wanted Married or not Shindig didn't care. You thought as Shindig grew up she would grow out of her rebellious stage, but alas Shindig didn't and you were stuck with a moody daughter. There were moments of kindness from your daughter but they were so far Apart and so short it amount to much.
"Morning Shindig." you greeted warmly.
"Hi." Shindig replied coldly.
You sigh in defeat and shake your head. "You remember Everything told you yeah."
"Yes Dad." Shindig answers with a huff as she makes way behind the counter.
"Why don't you grow up for once and act your age, I mean do you even go see Mum?" You ask tired of your thirty year old daughter acting like she's eighteen.
"Bye." was all that Shindig said.
You gave up with your head hang low and make your way to the shop door stopping before turning to look at your Daughter. "What did we do to you to make you hate us so much?" Once you had your last word you left heading to the hospital not even bothering to her Shindig's reply.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\At The Hospital.
You sat by Pinkie's bed as she tells you about all the ponies she has helped cheer up in her ward as you just listen enjoying what time you have left with your wife.
"So how's Shindig?" Pinkie ask curiously.
You rub your eyes with your front hooves tired of the situation with shindig "she's... the same as ever?" you finally answer thinking of the right answer.
"That bad eh?" Pinkie Answers.
"Its just I don't know how to talk to her any more Sweetheart." you admit.
"You'll work it out Aony, I have total faith in you." Pinkie smiles lovingly up at you.
"Thanks Pinks I will try?" you smile back.
"You know you Could always ask for Applejack for help im sure she wouldn't mind?"
You sighed sadly, these were the moments you hated the most correcting Pinkie about moments she had forgotten. "Um, Darling... Applejack died, shes been dead for a while now."
Pinkie's Smile turned to frown "Oh yeah... I did it again I thought was getting" Pinkie Starts to slowly cry as you give her a hug.
"You are Pinkie, you are." you try to make Pinkie feel better.
Once Pinkie stopped crying she looked up at you in Surprise Like its the first time she's seen you. "Oh my gosh your here!" Pinkie cuddles as strong as weak arms will let you.
Your eyes start to fill with tears but you Wipe them away and Smile at Pinkie again "That's right im here Pinkie and I always will be?"
"There's so much to tell you where do I start?" But before Pinkie could start telling you everything again Nurse Justice trots over.
"Im sorry to interrupt, but could I just talk to you from moment Prince Anon?" Nurse Justice asks bowing.
"Sure and please just call me Anon?" you ask.
"But you've just got here?" Pinkie frowns up at you.
"I won't be long I Promise." You plant a loving kiss on Pinkies forehead.
You trot over to where Nurse Justice is standing a long way from pinkie's bed. "What seems to be the problem nurse?" You ask smiling.
"Im so sorry to tell you this;" As soon as you heard the nurse say that your stomach turns inside out in fear of what is to come. "But your wife's brain is deteriorating faster then expected, she has less then two month's left."
"What?!" you shout in surprise.
"Im so sorry, ill give you some time to process this in." Nurse Justice smiled before leaving you alone.
You look at Pinkie Smiling and talking to another patient's, you try to imagine life with out her and you start to cry. you couldn't imagine living without your Pinkie Pie.

Spike's Destiny: Equestria's Guardian
Chapter VII. Making The Most Of The Worst Situation
Its been three and half year's since they left their homes behind. When Spike awoke to see his arm the way it was and to find out that pinkie pie had died, the world felt darker with out her humour. Spikes confidence had been knocked back and he had to find it again every day he trained with Thorax trying to build him self back up. Spike found it difficult his dominant hand gone and all hopes looked bleak the only thing that kept him going was Scootaloo and she was slowly dying.
Scootaloo was on her second to last blood bag, you and Applebloom had been sneaking to hospital's all over Equestria. You and Applebloom hit Los Pegasus Hospital first it was the furthest away from the village that you and others were using as temporary base. To confuse the master you and Applebloom went after a closer hospital in Trotting Ham which worked until you tried it again in Vanhoover. At that time Applebloom hadn't been feeling well and decided to send Rosie with you. at the begging everything was going so well you two had gotten into the hospital with out a problem. when it was time to leave you we're ambushed by changelings, You did your best to protect Rosie but the changeling separated you both and Rosie was no match for them on her own. You eventually gave the changeling the slip to go find Rosie and you did lying on the floor with her neck ripped open. You brought the body back and buried her next to Pinkie, Applebloom, hated you for a year but you did everything you could to show you tried and that you were sorry. Applebloom soon took your apology and not before too long a romance began too bloom between the both of you. After you told the others about what happened in Vanhoover, Everypony agreed that it was way to risky to make any more hospital trips and that they would have to work fast to come up with a plan.
It was left down to you and Applebloom to train Agile, Blazing Diamond, Shindig, Apple Charm and Flurry Heart ready for the fight back, you called them The Equestria Defenders. They need to learn how to defend them selves against the Changeling army. Spike was too busy focusing on training him self to care about anypony else; not that he wanted to be like that but since the loss of his arm meant he had to train in a whole knew way which took most of his time up. Twilight wouldn't train anypony on account of her being blind Spike tried to her I didn't matter but she wouldn't listen. Twilight did set up a magic shield around the village that hid it way if any changeling would come and look they would see nothing.
Day after day you Applebloom put them through their paces. Both you and Applebloom made sure that they went through weapon training to simple exercises, magic training to team building exercises. you wanted to sure that they will be ready for the challenges that were to come. One day Agile picked up a sword began to train with it, She became the best swords pony any pony had seen. Agile's Cutie Mark glowed every time she picked up the sword and fought with it. Agile had found out the other half of her Cutie mark and she was ecstatic when she found out, so was Spike and Scootaloo when they were told. Blazing wasn't so happy he still didn't know what the other side of his mark was, but he calm down When His mum told him the following. "Don't rush it and it will find you. And I know it will be every as bit awesome as you are now." It had been some of the best advice his mum had given him.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
The wind blew hard and strong making the outside air cold, winter was coming and it was coming hard and fast. The Equestria Defenders stood out side in row with you and Applebloom stood in front of them. You watched as the team shivered and trot on spot trying to warm up "I know your all cold but it be like this on the day of battle so it is perfect time for weapon training."
Applebloom Points over to where the weapons are. "Today what we want is Simple, find a partner to team up with them and go against each other in two v two. Once ya fight with one pony change over giving ya a chance to work with each member of the team." Applebloom explains
"Rules are, a win don't count until you knock one team down twice. Don't hurt each other that bad, we want you all alive and you don't stop training until we come back. Now get to it!" You and Applebloom trot into one of the houses far from the training leaving the Equestria Defenders to get on with the training.
Agile, Diamond Blaze and Flurry heart rushed over to the weapon picking out their favourites while Shindig and Apple Charm talked. "Have you notice That our Parents have been spending a lot of time together?" Apple Charm Asks
"Well I did my Dad a couple of months ago that he needed to let go of Mum and move on, find Somepony else to love and be happy with. I think my Mum would want my Dad to be happy with Somepony else and maybe he found that with your Mum. it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world, would it?"
Apple Charm thought for moment saw her Mum happy with Somepony that made her happy. "I guess not and if they are making each other happy I see no harm in it."
"Just what I thought, now come lets get our weapons, you'll be my partner sis." Shindig winked at Apple Charm making her shake her head in amusement before galloping to get her weapon.
"Hell no she's mine!" Agile shouted feel a little insecure over her Marefriend making Apple Cham laugh.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
You and Applebloom had made your way into the furthest house that no pony was using close and lock the door behind you self. "Do you think were far enough away?"
Applebloom pull's you in kissing you deeply before pulling away. "Ah don't care if they do." Applebloom smiles booping you on the muzzle with her hoof.
"Your so cute." You tell Applebloom while wrapping your front hooves tightly around her neck, kissing her back more deeper and passionate then Applebloom did. You your poke your tongue into her mouth getting a good taste of her saliva while playing with her tongue for dominance.
Applebloom pulled panting and giggling. "Lets go up stairs." Applebloom looked at you with half lilted eyes. You decided to say nothing and just follow Applebloom up to the bedroom. Applebloom lays on the bed revealing everything to you. "Do what ya want with me." Applebloom tells you while blushing slightly.
You smile at her brashness and boost of confidence. You look up and down Applebloom's body taking in her beauty before heading up to kiss Applebloom on the mouth. It wasn't a deep but it was strong, you slowly make your way kissing her neck all the way down to her nipples. You kissed, licked and sucked on her nipples enjoying the sound of her moaning and panting. "T-that... feels, aaah, soooo G-GOOD!"
"Its about to feel even better!" You tell Applebloom with her nipple in her mouth. You bring your front hoof to her wet slit rubbing it back and forth, dig your hoof slightly inwards while you still sucked on her nipples making moan louder. You really started to pick up the pace by mashing your hoof hard into her slit, hear her moans getting load only egged you on more. It wasn't long before she came all over your hoof, there was so much cum it made a puddle on the bed which you drank up after licking her slit clean.
While she relaxed after such a hard orgasm you reached under the bed and got hold of the rope. You got off the bed and tied each hoof to the bed frame, Applebloom didn't even realise until you were on top of her and she tried to move. Applebloom looks at each hoof tied to the bed then back at your smirking face. "Ropes?"
"Your in for the ride of you life." You line your stiff cock up and slowly enter Applebloom, you grunt as you feel your cock enter her tight pussy. "Fuuuck! Your tight."
"Speed it up Big Boy." you do as your told and start rapidly pumping your cock. the only sound in the house were the moans, grunts and panting of you fucking each other loudly. You as her nipples bounce as fucked her faster and faster, you decide to play with her nipple as fucked her silly moan louder then ever before. "Im g-g-gonna... c-cum."
"Then ugh, cum!" You could feel your self building up but you were holding up in until she came first.
"Im, CUMMING!" you could feel her juice cover your cock allowing you to pull and cum all over Applebloom; hitting her body, legs, Face and mouth. "That was amazing, you were amazing." Applebloom complements you as she calm's down.
You climb over the top Applebloom your fur feeling the wetness of your cum on her body as you kiss her deeply tasting your own cum, your cock is still hard and lightly touches Applebloom Pussy. "Who said we were done?" You ask Applebloom, she look at you confused until you ram your cock in again making Applebloom scream in pleasure. "We aint done unit I say we done!" You Apple as cock rams her harder then before.
"I FUCKING LOVE YA ANON!" Applebloom screams out load.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Spike and Thorax practice away from the others in the cave where Starlight had stolen the cutie marks of the ponies who lived in the village they were using as a base. Spike had asked Thorax to take the form of The master so he could get the best training he could. Thorax blocked as Spike threw a punch the and then a kick which Thorax blocked, but he didn't see Spike tail coming and it knocked him to the ground. Spike kicked him once he was down making Thorax roll across the floor into a stone.
Spike's eyes go wide out fear that he might of hurt his old friend and rush to his side. Thorax had transformed back into his old self, he coughed as held his stomach with his hooves the pain was strong. "Thorax, buddy are you okay?"
"I think you've got back your er *Cough* mojo back." Thorax meekly tells you.
Spike reaches out a claw helping Thorax up "Yeah well, were not done I want you to produce a hundred Changelings to attack me." Spike tell Thorax as his voice goes back into his normal cold sounding tone.
"A hundred? Are you sure Spike? I mean I know you've-."
"If I am to beat The Master, then I must push my self to the limit. Now bring them up!" Spike orders Thorax sounding harsh.
"If your sure." Thorax's horn glowed green making a hundred Changeling clone sending ten at time.
Spike beat of the thirty of the changeling clone of the fake changeling clone's on even using magic, it wasn't until on changeling kicked him in the back of the knee bring him down on one knee. Spike lashed out as he anger got the better of him, green flames burst from his mouth burning the changelings around him to a crisp. His fist ignited and his anger raged and struck out at every changeling he could see, but his anger made Spike sloppy and few Changeling got some good hits in. But I wasn't long until he killed every Magic Changeling clone, Spike was left stand his should went up and down as breathed fast.
"You did really well, but try to control that anger it makes you sloppy and an easy target." Thorax tells Spike.
"No. My anger makes me stronger, it makes me more powerful." Spike answers as distinguish his claw.
"Im just trying to help?" Thorax explains.
"I know" Spike answers bluntly sounding cold and detached.
"Spike?" Hearing his name Spike turns around to see Twilight standing at the entrance.
"Twilight?! What are you doing here by your self?" Spike rushed over to Twilight. The only time Spike sound like his old self is when talks to his family, to the others around it was refreshing to hear a caring tone in his voice.
"Well Nightfall was watching Crimson and Ace was looking after Scootaloo. I had talk you now so made it here by my self and I've told you before just because im I cant see it doesn't make useless. Twilight tells Spike with stern tone of voice.
"Im just afraid of loosing you as well." Spike hugged Twilight tightly.
"You haven't lost Scootaloo and your not loosing me." Twilight kissed her adopted son on the cheek.
"So what was so important that you had come see me now for?" Spike asked intrigued.
"I have a plan?" Twilight announces.
"Okay hold on." Spike walks over to a large pile of rocks and starts removing them one by one. It soon reveals a small wooden chest, seeing the chest was okay Spike puts the rocks back keeping it safe and hidden. After checking on the chest he walks Twilight back to the village with Thorax.
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
You, Applebloom, Spike, thorax and Twilight sat around a table in Starlight's old house.
"So let me get this straight you want us to go back to your castle in Ponyville ! Then enter a magic mirror to ask human versions of you and our old friends for help while one group does that another group enter the everfree forest and collects the elements of harmony?" You ask hoping it was a joke.
"Yes that's about right!" Twilight answers with out a hint of humour attached.
"ARE YOU CRAZY?! How do you expect we even get into the castle?" You ask not believing what you were hearing.
"I sort of have a plan for that." Twilight answers sounding unsure.
"Sort of! That does not fill me with confidence Twilight." You tell Twilight sceptical of her plan.
"Just hear me out. Me and Spike will be outside of Pony-." You interrupt Twilight
"Wooah! Wooah! Time out! You and Spike? Why you and Spike?"
"We are the only two with knowledge of that other world and our other versions only know me and Spike and might have an idea to fix Spike arm, Possibly."
"Sounds good to me?" Applebloom pitches in.
"Yeah makes sense." Thorax's adds
"Fine!" You answer giving up and bucking down under peer pressure.
"Like I was saying. Me and Spike stand outside of Ponyville waiting for Nightfall make a distraction using his magic on the other side far away from me and Spike. Hopefully the Distraction will lead enough changeling's away giving us the chance to sneak in and get down to the mirror using the secret Passage that's out side the castle, leading to the vault where the Mirror is kept. Once were in I just have to find Sunset and tell her about the danger Equestria is in and then tell her how the others will be able to use the elements of harmony sending all the villains back to tartars including the master. Once having convinced the others into coming back, Spike shall teleport back here where you Anon will hand over elements of harmony to the girls That You, Applebloom and the Equestria Defenders will have gotten the Elements from the tree of Harmony. Once we give the girls the elements we will test experiments to see if the elements will work for them. If the elements work for them Spike will once more teleport us, this time into the throne room where we will have surprised attacked the master using elements of harmony to send him to Tartarus which will also send the other villains back as well thus saving the day, any questions?"
Every Pony looked at each other in shock, they were not expecting such a well thought out plan. Spike was the first to speak out.
"I Think I Speak for everypony when I say when do we start this plan?" Spike ask as you and the others nod in agreement.
"Tonight!"
So everypony got to work straight away getting ready for the plan but a thought ran through Applebloom's head. Scootaloo deserved to know what was happening and Spike seemed a little bit to busy, but she didn't want to barge in on Scootaloo unless it was allowed. So Applebloom decided to ask Spike if it was okay before she did anything. She remembered seeing walking to the kitchen and decided to check their first.
But she got into the she found Spike looking quite sad out of the window "Hey Spike?"
Applebloom watched as Spike put on a fake Smile trying to look like he was fine "Hey Applebloom what's up?"
"Are ya alright? You look kind of sad." Applebloom answered honestly.
"Yeah, its nothing really. did you want something?" Spike continued his fake Smile trying sound happy.
Applebloom didn't want to press any further he wanted to tell her he would. "Well ah was thinking that somepony should tell Scootaloo the plan. And ah was hoping ah could go visit her and let her know what was happening since ya busy."
Spike rubbed his eyes with his claws and Smiled once more "That would be a great id appreciate it a lot."
"Its no problem." After having the go ahead Applebloom head straight to over to Scootaloo.
Applebloom open and closed the door carefully not wanting to startle her old friend before carefully making her way up the stairs towards Scootaloo's room. Applebloom knocks gently on the door before entering. "Hey Scootaloo, its me im coming in."
"Its Fine Applebloom im not a sleep." Scootaloo rolled her eyes, she hates the way everypony is so delicate around her.
Applebloom sat on the chair next to the bed "Sorry, ah have news, ah think you should know."
"Oh yeah what's that?" Scootaloo asked in condescending tone.
Applebloom ignored her tone of voice and continued to tell her about the plan that just been made and was now being put into a plan of action. Applebloom watched face fall as fear took over, but was soon covered up anger. "Why isn't he telling me this him self? Why are you here instead? Not that I don't love seeing you. its just that... well, I would rather Spike come tell me this plan him self."
"He's busy gettin' ready for the mission. But he want you to know so he sent me instead." Applebloom argued.
"I guess that makes sense?" Scootaloo sighed sadly "...Why don't you come see me anymore?"
"I.... well, I... guess im just busy trying with helping the group save Equestria. Im sorry I've wanted to come see you." Applebloom frowned not wanting to tell Scootaloo she was dating again.
"Its okay I just miss you is all. I miss Sweetie Belle, and all three of us hanging out as a group." Scootaloo felt tears beginning start but she held them back trying to stay strong.
"So do ah, do you'll remember all those crazy schemes we'd do, when we're younger?" Applebloom asks as she reminisce about her you.
Scootaloo smirks while rolling her eyes "Well duh, of course I do, its like the only thing we used to do when we we're foals."
"Remember that time we'd tried to get our cutie marks in cow milking, n' Sweetie scared the cow by accident causing her to fall into the pile of cow dung?" Applebloom asked thought laughed.
"Yeah and when we brought her home to get cleaned Rarity Fainted at the door way I laughed my flank off that day." Scootaloo Smiled as she play events in her head.
"We sure did have fun as The Cutie Mark Crusaders." Applebloom smiled a sad kind of smile.
"I miss the club house, well... I guess I actually just miss my home. Me and Spike had such plans for that house we gonna raise our foals there and everything. Now look at me dying in some back end house while my husband gets ripped shreds and I can do nothing to help." Scootaloo couldn't stop her self from crying anymore "Dear Celestia I love that Dragon."
"Ya not gonna die, I wont let ya leave me, ah cant be the last Crusader left on my own." Applebloom could feel her self begging to cry as well.
Scootaloo looked Applebloom straight in the eyes reaching out her hoof which Applebloom happily takes. "You Promise me this, Make The Master pay for the lives he's ruined. Make sure he dies that's if Spike fails. but I doubt he will, I know he's gonna kill that colt I just know it. but if, just if Spike fails I want you to make sure he dies."
"I promise ya he's as good as dead!"
\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\
Five nervous Changeling troopers stood in front of a very angry Master Nightmare who sat in his new black throne now wearing a black crown and body armour with a black cape and red. The Master stared each of the changeling them down. "The General told me you were the best troopers in the batch, that you had the best minds and strength for the job, was he right?" The Master didn't raise his voice yet it was harsh and angry.
"Y-y-yes your highness." A Changeling troop answered, fear ran through his body making his blood turn cold.
"And did I or did I not, put you on this mission Three years ago?" Anger was more prominent as he now paced up and down in front of the Changelings.
"Yes again your highness." Another Changeling answered, he still feared the master but hid it well.
"Then why are they is he not here?!" The Master stopped and looked the at last Changeling who answered last.
"We searched all over Equestria, from The Mysterious South to the Undiscovered West. We searched every city and town, turned every house upside down, we don't know what else to do your Highness" The Changeling kept his cool and stood to attention.
"Then its Just as I feared. Follow me colts" The Master led the five Changeling's out to the balcony. "Do you see that?"
The Master Pointed out to the world below. Woman, the Elderly and foals that were old enough were chained up and forced to do slave work under the mind control of King Sombra. While The colts were Mind controlled into The Master Nightmare's personal army, it was the same for every city The Master had control of. The Changeling ruled the cities Thanks to The Master they we're free to live how they wanted.
"Yes, your Highness. Its the best our kind have ever known." The Changeling answers not knowing where his leader was going with his speech.
"Do you want this to continue?" King Sombra's tone still hadn't changed or altered.
"Yes of Course your highness." The Changeling answers smiling through fear. pathetic
But before anypony could anything The Master Nightmare bite open the Changeling's neck ripping his throat out and throwing him over the edge letting the body fall to the floor. "THEN FIND ME THAT DRAGON AND HIS GROUP OF PATHEITC LOW LIVES!" The Master calm himself down before leading the four scared Changelings back in side the throne room. "You lack the magic know how to find them so im sending somepony with you." The Changelings hear the doors open and watch Tirek trot over to stand next to The Master "This is Tirek he will lead you. NOW GO FIND ME THAT DRAGON!" The Master throw his servant against the wall out of anger and frustration he didn't want to loses this life he had worked so hard for.
"I wont let you down Master Nightmare." Tirek bowed and left with the Changelings following behind him.

Yes Applebloom is bi, I did not over look that.
