Diamond Tiara was sitting on a chair with a cup off coffee in her hoof. She was far too young for coffee, but anything to stay awake. She sat by the hospital bed that had an unconscious Spike laying down there.

He was lifeless.

DT finished her cup of coffee which caused Sweetie Belle, who was standing by her, to levitate it towards the other cups that previously contained coffee. The young unicorn had purple bags under her eyes, but Diamond Tiara looked worse. Besides, she was her friend. She'll do anything for her friends.

Sweetie levitated another cup to DT who grabbed it. "Thanks."

"Your welcome. "

Diamond placed the coffee to her lips and started to drink it.

Silver walked up. "The sensers says he's doing fine," she informed.

"That's good."

The Mane Six, Starlight, and Dust came in. Rarity, Twilight, and Starlight had auras surrounding their horns.

"Since this is something the docters aren't familiar with, we have to take care of it ourselves. But they let us use this room for it,"Twilight says.

" That Sombra better be glad he wasn't in sight cause I was ganna kick him all ta way ta the end of Equestria," AJ comments angrily with a pound of her hoof.

"I would've gave that ruffian everything I got!" Rarity exclaimed.

"I get that were all upset girls, but we have to stay strong. For Spike."

"Yeah. Despite him being unconscious, Spike could be thinking about anything. Sombra could be contacting his mind at anytime. Spike's mind is like a void," Rainbow said, rose colored eyes looking downward.

"Hmm... I see," Rarity replied.

DT looked at the dragon. "Oh Spike, please tell me your alright. Give me a sign of life please! Please!" She cried.

He heard something. It sounded so familiar. Very familiar.

A voice.

A female voice.

Crying.

She sounded so depressed, so weak, so broken.

How?

He remembered the pony that contained the voice to be strong. Very strong. Tough. Protective.

She was abused by her mother, but she was still tough.

Tough as a diamond he knew.

"Diamond... Tiara..."

His voice was croaked.

Not used.

Other than the soft, croaked voice, she still couldn't hear him, considering that he is talking in his head after all.

He was weak.

His powers blocked out in the mortal world because he was afraid.

Fear...

He was always afraid. Why couldn't he be confident like the Mane Six or Starlight? We did he have to always feel fear and isolation?

"Because your not reaching your full potential."

Spike felt his heart stop, only for it to beat in his chest 20 times faster.

"Because your always running."

Spike couldn't take it though.

"Because of those mares. Because of those filles. Because of your love."

Spike felt his heart in his throat.

Love?

He can't even feel love.

Not without blowing Diamond's head off.

Spike had no confidence in his body anymore. Sombra was like the pony that can tell somepony when you can and can't breathe.

"I... I..."

"You what ? You know I'm right?"

"N... No. Your wrong... And as you should...considering that you know nothing about me..."

"Spikey Wikey... Stop lying to yourself. You may be sharp, but your mind can be easily manipulated. In the wrong hooves, it can cause massive destruction which will be nice. Feeling things for you is like... a fish being able to live in the hot sun... It's Impossible..."

Sombra felt a fist that went through his nose. Spike removed his fist, only to see blood dripping from it. Sombra smirked at Spike's expression of realization.

"I have to admit... that was a very good punch. However, you have gotten that strength from me."

Sombre studied him carefully. He wanted to see his reaction. "Like everything else. We are very much alike..."

Spike felt the anger in his body. He lunged forward and punched Sombre in his face and his chest. Before he can do another attack, Sombra grabbed his arm and faced him, his red eyes looking deeply into his bright emerald ones.

"Like father like son... right...?"

Spike's eyes looked feral. Steaming red eyes that matched Sombra's replaced his light green ones. He felt steaming rage consume him. The villain was magically thrown onto the ground, releasing his grip on his arm.

Red flames and electricity surrounded his body as he floated in the sky, not entirely in his control. His eyes were glowing red, but his pupils were not visible. With each passing breath, his fists clenches tighter.

"I am not like you," he said calmer than what he felt.

Sombra chuckled. "Maybe not like me one hundred percent; maybe worse. Killed any family members lately?"

His now red glowing eyes glowed brighter. He felt his rage pouring onto Sombra. He flew faster than he has ever had before. Even Rainbow Dash would be impressed. Fire rings went around his waist as he picked up speed. His fists, still clenching tightly, was in front of him. He blasted him like they were laser guns.

Sombra, however, was seen smirking through the flames. He picked up his forearms and swayed them in front of Spike. Spike's eyes were now back to it's original color, fear now draining his confidence. He tried moving out of danger, but the fear had gotten the better of him. He was finally blasted with the flames.

After the flames and smoke had disappeared, Spike was laying weakly on his stomach, burn marks across his body. His breathing was soon replaced by weak wheezes.

Sombra was soon in front of him, his red eyes gazing deeply into the dragon's weak eyes.

"I didn't raise you to be weak. Although, you really aren't . You just let your emotions get the better of you," he started. "You let them control you. You can't control yourself. You will kill everypony in Equestria."

He smirked wider. "It doesn't have to be this way, Spike. I can help you. I can give you freedom, I can give you control. I'm the only pony who can," he said.

Spike had always wanted to control his powers. He always wanted to. To keep him from hurting everypony... Maybe he could...

He forcefully clenched his eyes shut. 'No stop it! Can't you see he's lying to you?!'

Spike opened his eyes, which looked dull and weak. "I don't need your help," he said darkly. He tried to keep his voice in soft monotone.

"Then who else is going to control your power?"

"Your not going to control me!"

"On the contrary Spike... I can do anything. You could too if you would strengthen your potential. But instead... you want to be isolated all your life. However, I was very impressed with you today. Your anger was in your control. Little rusty around the edges, but you will get there."

"N... No..."

"But, a shame that your friends have to be in such danger. Your fangs in their soft flesh, blood soaking through the fang marks, lightning marks on their necks, the life leaving their eyes. It didn't come yet, but some of the times that you flipped out when they didn't know about your powers came close."

The dragon's claws grasped onto his head tightly. "Get out of my head..."

"Your " sorta sister" will not only die, but she will be die heartbroken. "

Spike clenched his eyes shut.

"Sweet Fluttershy will have it worse. She'll feel that the pain in her gut, and she'll cry until she finally closes her eyes in a deep sleep..."

Tears came running down his cheeks.

"Rainbow Dash's confidence will get smashed to pieces. Her loyalty, her faith, her hope. All will get smashed one by one while the life leave her eyes..."

"St... Stop... Please..."

Sombra walked closer to a weak and sorta broken Spike.

"Applejack will find no reason to trust anypony again. With one of her bestest friends lying to her all those years and her mind everyday constantly forcing herself to believe him, her heart will break first. Than her strong, golden honesty. She will never be the honest, kind, sweet, and strong mare she was known for. She'll be broken, she'll be weak, she'll be easy to manipulate..."

Spike felt himself burning with anger, guilt, sadness, fear. All these different emotions thrashing inside of him all at once. "No... control it... don't let him control you," he mumbled.

"Pinkie Pie won't smile ever again. She'll be depressed. She'll question her life. Her heart will break, her tears will be noticeable... her soft cries will be the only sound she'll ever hear until she can't cry anymore..."

Spike's breathing was at a very face pace.

"Lady Rarity will never be able to make dresses again. Her inspiration will die out as she feels the claw marks on her deep skin, blood soaking in her snowy white coat. Her accent will be dull as her blue eyes as blue as the ocean will be life less until she finally let out her last breath..."

Spike's chest was burning.

"Your childhood friends... they would die before they even get to complete their destinies. Except Babs... she'll die without realizing her special talent..."

Spike bit his lip so hard that it drew blood.

"And Diamond Tiara... she would be the last to see you. She will feel really betrayed. Her heart would be crushed. She wouldn't be strong enough to move. She wouldn't be strong enough to speak. She wouldn't be strong enough to fight. She'll cry until Death comes to take her soul..."

Sombra was only a feet away from Spike. Spike, however, was not facing Sombra. The demon king heard soft crying.

"Upset that you can't handle the truth?" Sombra asked, taking a few steps forward before getting interrupted by Spike's harsh voice.

"Don't come any closer..."

"Afraid... are we? Glad your feeling it for once so you won't have to feel guilty for killing your mother and soon destroying all of Equestria? Ha, ha, you should be. I can see you as your eyes burn with acceptance and death..."

"GET. OUT. OF. MY. HEAD!"

Despite the outburst, Spike was still not facing Sombra. However, Sombra was getting pushed back by Spike's uncontrollable attacks.

Spike couldn't help it. Maybe.... he is going to kill everypony. His powers became stronger, but Sombra was away like that saying, "We'll talk again sometime."
