Applebloom: It begins

"...You're the saddest excuse for a colt I've ever meet!" Applebloom screamed as she turned on the spot and stormed away from Tender taps, who was trying very hard to hide from the looming Shadow of a pissed of Big Mac. Applebloom ignored everypony she passed as she B-lined it to her empty home, Granny was visiting Braeburn in Applelossa and Applejack had taken Winona to get cleaned at Fluttershy. She slammed the front door behind her, stormed up to her room, stood in front of her bed, then fell into it crying. She had just broken up with yet another colt friend, and just like all her other ones he had only been trying to use her so he could be the guy who knew the sister of the element of Honesty, of course when she had found out she hadn`t done anything to drastic past breaking up with him, Except making sure Big Mac saw the entire thing, she figured he wouldn't be too happy to hear the news, and she had left him to do his usual duty of dragging the colt home and informing the parents. But it still left her feeling empty, no matter what she did, she was stuck in her sister's shadow, and there was no getting out of it. She had done nothing amazing, had she saved Equestria numerous times? No. Did she have the stamina to buck trees all day without fail? No. What she was was the little sister that needed protecting.

"Oh, but you can be so much more than that." Applebloom jumped so hard the boards supporting her bed snapped. Applebloom got up and looked around her empty room in a mixture of fear and confusion

"Wh-who's there!?" She asked with a quiver

"hush now, who I am isn't important, it who you are Applebloom, the sister of Applejack, who is important right now, a feeling I'm sure you've spent your life looking for. doing things like helping others find their cutie mark...How dull. To spend your life helping other`s achieve their dreams, but they always forget about you, after all, after they get the mark, what use are you to them?" Applebloom was speechless as The voice talked on, telling her things she didnt want to think about, things she had thought about and buried in the back of her mind, things that had made her envy her sister, want more, she wanted to be noticed, but would she be? in a hundred years Applejacks name would be well known as Element of Honesty, but what about her? would Applebloom be remembered? and if she was would it be as Applebloom, the Cutie Mark Crusader, or Applebloom, the sister of the element of Honesty? Applebloom was going to respond but found she was no longer in her room, while she had been having this mental break down she had gotten up, walked out of the house without realizing it and had proceeded to walk into the trees, by the time she realized she had moved she was standing in the center of the orchard, the wind was blowing, But there was no sound of it, all of the leaves were still, and yet for some reason they were all pointing at her, she felt wrong, but she couldn`t stop thinking negative, everything was wrong, why should she be the little sister, why couldn't she be in the light of success, why must she be the helper of the dream, not the one achiver of the dream?"

"You cant steal the light from your sister, But you can snuff it out, like vines snuffing out a tree, you cant be the brightest, but you can be the darkest. Applebloom looked at the trees around her, she touched on with a hand, and in an instant, vines burst into life from where her hand had touched the tree and swiftly started wrapping around it until it was covered completely, she kept her hands on the vines and pressed on them, she started sinking into them, in a few seconds she was gone, then the vines started shifting, crushing the tree underneath them and started forming into the shape of a pony, the pony was green, she had sharpened teeth, her ears were more pointed, her she was wearing a dress made of thorned vines, he mane was alive, moving on her command, Applebloom looked at her new body as she clenched her hands into fists, thorns bursting out of her arm and back, she looked at her arms silently for a moment.

"Perfect" she said with a laugh as she walked away from the ruined tree, "I will snuff out the light of Honesty," as she said this she raising her hand as she walked, Hundred of vines shot out of the ground, all of them shot towards a tree, as she walked she summoned more vines, behind her she could hear the sound of her vines crushing the tree's before unraveling and retreating back into the ground, all the while a sinister smile light up her face.
"Go now Applebloom and build your team, lead them to me, So I may usher them to their destinies as the beginning...the beginning of the end!" Applebloom continued her path of destroyed tree's until she reached the swimming hole, she looked at it as she walked past and stopped, the Swimming hole had seemed empty on first glance, but resting beneath the tire swing tree was Spike, he was reading a book of some kind.

"He'll do" Applebloom decided

"Lead him to the water, I'll take care of the rest" the voice said smoothly, Applebloom watched as she willed a vine to burst from the ground and mess with Spike's tail, after looking around and calling out what he thought was a prank he set his book down and began untangling his tail, his attention fully on his tail Applebloom had a vine pick up his book and placed it in the water.

"I'll take it from here." The voice said as the book went stiff and proceded to float on the water. "Now, let's make a new friend."

Spike: It continues.

Spike was reading a book in silence, he was sitting in a lawn chair next to the Swimming hole, he was only there on the request of Starlight, but she had ended up having to cancel due to the school, as had the mane 6, leaving Spike alone. He didn't really care in any way, this was just his life and this was how things went, others made plans, then they ditch them because of some random problem, same old same old. Spike was reading a book on Marine Biology when he felt something tug on his tale, Spike jumped up and looked down, a small vine had wrapped itself around his tail, Spike stared at it in silence for a moment.

"Starlight if this is your idea of a prank, you getting better," Spike called out to the wood's behind him as he got up, set his book down, and got down to untangle himself from the vine, it took a hot-minute since the vine was a resilient sucker but Spike managed to untangle himself. As soon as it was off of him the vine retreated back into the ground. "That being said it's still a weird pra-hm?" Spike had reached for his book and found his chair was now empty. He got down to see if he'd put it on the ground when he heard a splash, he turned to the swimming hole and watched in silence as his book floated in the water, the pages facing up. "And now you're just being a dick," he added as he made his way into the water. He swam to his book and picked it out of chest deep water.

"Interesting." The Voice said, Spike jumped in shock and only just managed to not fall over or drop his book "where are your friends?"

"Oh ho ho, fuck everything about this." Spike said as he looked around "Whoever's doing this your-"

"Now, now Spike there will be time to be bitter, but I wanna talk about your many jobs and skills." Spike's facial expression turned sower at the tone the voice had when it said 'skills' "I have of course noted your job as Twilight's number one assistant, and of course there are your amazing skills at carrying the bags of a Unicorn who doesn't appreciate you, oh but I have to say your commitment to the role of a Pincushion was most excellent." as the voice said this the water around Spike began swirling around him, Spike didn't hear any wind rushing past his ear, yet he felt it.

"No idea what's going on here, but I don't think I wanna be a part of it," Spike said.

"Oh but I thought you where the Great Hero Spike of the Crystal Empire, of course, I understand the confusion now that I think about it, your only a hero in the empire, anywhere else your just some random face in the crowd, who cares if you're the reason the Dragon and the Changelings are now on Friendly terms with Pony kind, your nothing but the assistant to a Princess, and that's all you'll ever be, sure you've got this nice thing in the empire, but I'm sure as time goes on the story will be distorted so that your just a nameless colt.

"Alright listen here voice thing!" Spike said, dropping his book into the water, with had transformed from a whirlpool into a Vortex of water shooting into the clouds "You think you can talk down to me and manipulate me or whatever the fuck it is your doing here? Hell no! I may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I'm sharp enough, so you can-" The Voice cut Spike off.

"Oh dear Spike," It said, it's tone full of sympathy "it's sad really, but I guess these are how abusive relations ships work, the abused one's never want to accept that's the kind of relationship they're in, be it a romantic or a Friendly one." Spike had no response to that as the voice talked "I mean honestly one of your 'friends' used you as a Pincushion, not to mention the many times she made you carry her luggage when she's a Unicorn! and that's just one of them, how often do you get the short end of the stick? Door's slammed on you? Slamming into a building because Twilight teleported through it and forgot you, as the Voice talked Spike stood in silence, no argument coming to his mind as his book landed at his feet, the pages flipping fast until they stopped, Spike looked down at a page about Octopie as the Octopus on the page came to life, it's tentacles becoming one with the Vortex around Spike as it grew in size, Spike looked up as the Vortex began to close in on him when with a bang the Vortex collapsed in and he was swallowed by it, after a moment the water settled and the Swimming hole was back to normal, no signs of anything weird happening, the water rippled as Spike emerged, he was blue now, his Wings, tail and all the spines on his head had been replaced with Tentacles, he had 5 on his head, the front one covering one of his now yellow eyes, he had a smile on his face, a Smile that just screamed out that it was wrong, he was much large now, had Ember been there he might have stood at or over her height as he walked out of the water in silence.

"I see you over there." He sang out, Applebloom emerged from the tree's and Spike offered her his arm like he wanted to go skipping with her "What say you and I go make some friends?" He asked happily. Applebloom gave him a quick once over before nodding.

"Now that sounds like a fun time," She responded as she turned back towards the woods and Waved Spike forward, He followed after Happily. The two made their way through the tree's and found themselves on the path to Ponyville, Applebloom walked down the path calmly with her arms behind her back, Spike was almost skipping as he hummed a merry tune to himself as they walked.

"So were we going?" Spike asked, "Cause I'm willing to bet I can guess at least two of the ponies you're going after."

"And I'm willing to bet you'd guess right, we just need to get th-" A howling sound came from Ponyville and the dup stopped.

"Oh dear, I hope no one's died," Spike said, his smile widening, "What are the odd's that something convenient will happen now?" Almost on cue They saw Rainbow dash take to the skies from the forest a little ways in front of them and speed off towards Ponyville, a voice could be heard calling after her, Applebloom sunk into the ground and Spike jumped into a small puddle, as he started sinking into it he laughed "I should start gambling" just as he completly sumerged a scraped up Scootaloo rounded the corner.

"excellent, leave this one to me."

Scootaloo: It gets worse

Scootaloo was going full speed on her scooter, above her Rainbow Dash flew lazily overhead.

"Come on squirt you got this." She called as Scootaloo put all she had into it, She had challenged Rainbow to a friendly competition to get to Sweet Apple acres the fastest, she was going as fast as she could when she saw a pothole in the trail, she attempted to avoid it and ended up hitting it at an angle, she and her scooter tumbled over each over and into some bushed, she started sniffling once she stopped and got up into a sitting position, Rainbow landed next her and help her to her hooves.

"Geez kid you alright?" Rainbow asked as she looked over Scootaloo's cuts and scrapes.

"I'll be fine." Scootaloo responded as she held in some tears "I'm tuff." Rainbow let go of her as left her to pick up her scooter when the sound of a howling monster hit her ears.

"What was that?" Scootaloo asked as she pulled her Scooter up. the was a gust of Wind and Rainbow took flight.

"Sorry kid we'll have to reschedule," she called as she watched Rainbow shoot off to Ponyville.

"Wait, can't somepony else handle it!?" She called as he left her scooter and moved onto the trail, she watched as Rainbow shot off and sighed. "I guess I'd better grab my scooter and head home."

"No offense but you look less than well at the moment." Scootaloo jumped at the voice and looked around for the source. "Now don't get me wrong, you were going plenty fast, and it was very nice of Rainbow Dash to humor you, I mean yeah she left you at her first chance, and so what if she was toying with you the entire time."

"What? Who's?" Scootaloo looked around in confusion at the area, wondering who was talking to her "What are talking about?" She asked.

"I'm just asking you, do you really think you could keep up with Rainbow Dash, on a Scooter?"

"Well no, I was just for fun," Scootaloo replied as she tried to pinpoint the voice.

"Oh yeah, nothing quite like always losing, must be a real hoot." Scootaloo felt wind pulling on her mane, and ears, but she didn't hear any as the voice talked "Come to think of it It must be really hard, knowing how unfair everything is to you, especially your own body."

"My-my own..?" Scootaloo stuttered as she thought about this

"Think about it, look at your wings! there not even really wings are they, you're the chicken of the Pegasus world!" Scootaloo's demeanor changed once she heard that

"Oh, you think you're funny!?" She demanded angrily.

"Oh my, are you crying?" The voice asked a tinge of laughter in it.

"So what if I am!?" She yelled back "I just hurt myself, it's normal to cry after a scooter accident." Scootaloo wiped her eye's as the voice laughed, the clouds gather above her as it laughed.

"yes, go ahead and tell your self that Chicken wing, but If I can ask, how often does this Rainbow Dash call you by your name? Its always Squirt and kid isn't it?"

"Its...its just...just.." Scootaloo had no good answer to this as the Clouds formed into a funnel, a twister formed around Scootaloo, as this happened Applebloom and Spike emerged from their hiding places.

"oh what do you think she'll look like?" Spike asked as he walked out of his puddle, his tail flopped into it and sucked it all up, leaving a small pothole behind.

"No idea," Applebloom responded as the Twister dissipated and Scootaloo was revealed, Her fur was now a dark shade of Gray, and her mane was now Dark Purple, She had large Bat wing's on her back, he tail was now long and whip-like, her canines where now long and pointed, all the rest of her teeth where all pointed. She was still wearing her Cargo shorts and a Tanktop, she looked pissed.

"Sup Bitches?" She asked once she saw her two new companions as she walked over to them "Where's Sweetie Belle a- oh Spike that's a good look for you." She walked over to him and shook the Tentacle that was covering one of his eyes.

"Why thank you," Spike responded, reaching out and tugging on her ears.

"The hell you doing?" Scootaloo asked

"Well it was either this or pulling on your mane, this is about what you're doing to me." He responded happily as they let go of each other.

"Fair enough Squid boy." She responded as she turned back to Applebloom, Spike's happy face melted momentarily and turned sower before returning to a smile

"Actually I am an Octopus." He corrected.

"Yeah sure whatever," Scootaloo said as he threw her arm over Applebloom. "So my old buddy, let's go reunite the team!" She said happily.

"Well last I saw, before a most unpleasant event, She was helping Rarity do something at the Boutique."

"Oh boy, let's move, maybe we'll get there before the fire starts," Spike said cheerfully as he moved forward, Spike didn't make it far before a wall of vines shot up in front of him.

"Slow it down." Applebloom said as she moved forward "We all stick out like a sore thumb, so what say you two go back to the clubhouse, I get Sweetie and bring her there, then we can..."

"Better Idea." The voice interrupted. "Why don't you go get Sweetie, and these two go find another member to recruit."

"I know!" Scootaloo said "Let's go get Babs! Really make this a Crusaders thing!"

"I want at least one other member to not be a Crusader!" Spike interrupted "Can't we look into some other ponies?"

"We can talk about number 6 once we've got 4 and 5" Applebloom interjected. "Let's meet up at the Crusader's clubhouse once we've gotten our friends."

"Um...isn't the clubhouse in the Apple-."

"Once we're in it I'll move it, now you two move it!" Spike gave a nod and Scootaloo took flight

"Come on Scootaloo lets find a Bucket so you can carry me."

"there's probably one at the Barn at Sweetapple," Scootaloo said as the two moved out. once the two had moved out Applebloom turned sank underground before moving towards Ponyville.

Author's Note

I actually did once Ride my Scooter threw a pothole and skidded down a hill...it hurt a lot.

Sweetie: getting even worse

Sweetie held her arms up while Rarity went to work, due to her not being able to find Spike Rarity was now using Sweetie to model dresses for her. Sweetie's arms where tired as where her legs, Rarity had accidentally pricked her a few times so that didn't help.

"I've been here for 2 hours." Sweetie said, exhaustion echoing threw her voice, she was wearing a white dress that was several sizes too large with pink laces around the edges, "Are we done yet?"

"Sweetie we've barely started, just give me a few more hours and you'll be good to go."

"A few more hours!" Sweetie cried out "How does Spike do this?"

"Oh more than once he's ended up sleeping on the couch after helping me fix up my dresses, but that's beside the point, I'm nearly done adding the..." A howl sounded and Rarity looked behind her. "...I'm sure Twilight can handle this without me, anyway let's get back to..." A loud thump and a yelp of Pain from Sweetie made Rarity flinch and let go of her needle. "Oh no! Rarity said as she watched the white sleeve of the dress tint red "I'm never going to get a blood stain out of this!" Sweetie jumped up as she reached over and removed the needle from her arm, Rarity had turned to the door.

"Alright Sweetie thank you for your help, go grab the first age kit and bandage your arm, and don't take off the dress, you can tear that sleeve off if you want, I'm going to have to completely start over and make a new one after I teach this monster a lesson." Rarity stormed out of the Boutique and Sweetie made her way to their living area and she looked around for the first aid kit, it took her a minute to realize that Rarity had left it on a shelf to high for her to reach. She tried to levitate it with her magic and ended up dropping it on the floor, spilling its contents on the floor, Sweetie rolled up her sleeve, cleaned and put a little bandage on her cut before turning and attending to the pile of bandages, several bottles of burn cream and burn spray and a few other medical supplies that were now strewn across the floor.

"What the heck?" Applebloom asked herself as she watched the Mane 6 fight against a duo of Leopards with Snake tails, long Serpent like necks, and long pointed canines dripping with venom. She had fused herself with a bush and was watching them with interest "I have never seen creatures like that before."

"From my personal assortment of monsters, I've been preparing for this day for a long time, now use this to your advantage, my serpopards won't distract them for long." Applebloom shook her head.

"their called serpopards?" She asked

"I am not the one who named their race now move!" The Voice snapped back, Applebloom burrowed back into the ground and moved towards Rarity's work/home.

"So what other 'pets' do you have?" she asked as she moved at a medium speed, trying her best to not leave a trail on the dirt as she moved through it.

"I have ton's of pets, but we can discuss them later. Just focus!" The Voice snapped back.

"Fine, just trying to make conversation," Applebloom muttered as she slid up the side of the Boutique in the form on a group of vines, she climbed inside an open window and into the building.

Sweetie clipped the med-kit shut and looked up in silence, then back at the kit. "How do I get this up there?" She asked to empty room.

"Who puts a med kit that high on a shelf anyway?" The voice asked, Sweetie jumped and flailed her arms, dropping the med kit as she held up her arms, trying to look like she knew Kung fu from the looks of her stance. "Oh how adorable, your sister taught you how to pretend to defend yourself."

"Who's there!?" Sweetie demanded, looking around as she searched for the voice's owner "My sister's out saving Ponyville right now, the boutique is closed."

"Oh dear Sweetie Belle, I think we both know I'm not here for your sister."

"Well, I know now," Sweetie said shakily.

"Say, what happened to your arm?" The Voice asked "That's quite a few bandages, what happened? You fall down the stairs?"

"I was helping my sister, she just nicked me a few times cause she's just use to doing it with Spike, He was just busy today, but next time she'll call him in adva.." She was cut off by the voice laughing.

"Oh that's funny, oh you have no idea, Darling little Sweetie, I'm afraid Spikes not quite...himself anymore." Sweetie took a step back, behind her Applebloom took for, a mixture of shame and joy built up inside her as she looked down at her friend. "Oh don't worry you'll join him soon, but just in case he's not your style I made sure to pick up your friends along the way." Sweetie took another step back when she felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned and looked up at Applebloom.

"He's not lying." She said. Sweetie proceeded to pass out. "Whoops!" Applebloom said, catching her friend and picking her up. "Um, so what do I...?" Applebloom watched as the room Sweetie had been trying the dress on in turned into a storm. "Ah, well then." Applebloom took a step, pulled Sweetie Back, and threw her into the storm, she was consumed immediately, it flashed for a moment the began converging in the center of the room before dispersing, Sweetie floated in the middle of the room, she was sitting cross-legged 3 feet above the floor, she had her original features plus more, the fur on her legs where now Pink from her Knee down, her arm's where pink with three white stripes running down her biceps, her horn was now curved and sharpened, she also had two reminiscing those of a Kirin's on either side of her head, at first look it seemed like she had bow's in her mane and around her neck and waist, but a closer look informed Applebloom they where all flesh and fur. she was wearing what looked to be a White Kimono with Pink laces. Sweetie looked over at Applebloom and smiled before raising her hand, Applebloom heard a noise and the Med-kit floated over to Sweetie, it opened itself and rearranged the mess inside of itself until it was neat and everything was easy to find then snapped closed and Sweetie lit her horn, in a flash the Med Kit was a bag, and in another flash it was on Sweetie's back.

"Neat." Applebloom said with a nod "So what say you and I got back to the tree house and wait for the other's before relocating it to a safer location."

"Sounds like a swell idea." Sweetie said pleasantly, she once again light her horn and the two where sitting in the Club house.

"Oh heck yeah, Sweetie you're the bomb!" Applebloom said happily as a bush in the shape of a chair formed in the floor and Applebloom flopped on it "So you wanna talk or something?"

"Yeah, I wanna know what Spike and Scootaloo look like, and where they are would also be nice."

"Ah, well first off let's start with Spike since he was number 2..."

Author's Note

I tried to make this chapter a little extra f***ed up

Deciding on the 6th Member

"Hu," was all Spike could think to say as he looked at the spot where a Tree house had once been, now it was just a burning tree. "I have several questions," He decided as Scootaloo and Babs landed next to him.

"How did you beat me here!" Scootaloo demanded of the dragon "I flew!"

"And I traveled via water." Spike responded as he watched the fire slowly die in the rain "And since it's raining I basically took the train while you two took a cart." the Trio stood in bemused silence as they looked around.

"Hold up it's on it way." The voice said before the could ask what 'it' was the ground below them turned into a vortex and the trio dropped into a body of water.

"Loving this!" Spike cheered as she broke the surface and looked at the two standing over him. "Oh, well dang Applebloom looks like you and I are the only ones that can't fly," he noted as he watched Sweetie float overhead.

"You look interesting Spike," Sweetie said as she floated down to him. Suddenly Scootaloo broke the surface and shoved Spike out of the way.

"Oh yeah, Flying buddies!" She cheered as she flew out of the water, Babs pulled herself out and looked at her cousin.

"I gotta say cus, you're looking pretty green." Spike floated on the water as the crusaders talked after a minute this he sighed in frustration.

"Well this sucks ass." he decided as his Smile melted off and he got out of the water.

"How so?" Sweetie asked.

"Let's see, Crusader, Crusader, Crusader, Crusader, and non-Crusader." Spike said bluntly "If the next member is also A crusader that's the end of the show, I'll just be the side guy who's there to get hurt an make the big dogs laugh."

"Funny and true," The voice chimed in "and that's bad for Villainy, no more Crusaders are allowed to join this group. next member can't have anything to do with being a Crusader in any way."

"Alright, the solution is easy." Applebloom replied, "Spike, go for a walk and turn the first creature who catches your eye."

"They have to be young, older minds are so much harder to corrupt and use up so much magic to do so." Spike gave a salute and Sweetie vortexed him back to the now non-burning tree.

"Alright, so I just walk around and find a suitable-"

"Disguise!" The voice called out loudly. Spike's body shimmered and in a flash, he looked like his old self again.

"-Oh this will make walking around much easier." He said jolly as he moved out, the only thing different was the Large smile he was wearing on his face. as Spike went on the long walk to Ponyville, the Crusaders were having a different discussion.

"Alright, so what do you think of the place?" Applebloom asked Scootaloo, They were in an underground cavern, made by Sweetie directly under the swimming hole, a magical waterfall fell from the ceiling and into the center of the body of water that the others had arrived in, the magic made it so only water could go in and out, to the naked eye there would be nothing odd about the swimming hole beside the fact that it was now slightly shallower, the waterfall brought water down and up in an endless cycle to keep the underwater pool clean and to make sure it didn't overflow. a little ways from their small pond Applebloom and made a Tree sprout from the ground and made it so it was a mega Tree house, with a total of 12 rooms on it, the inside of the tree was also hollow and the tip of the tree had been fused to the bottom of the Tire Swing tree next to the Swimming hole, that way both Spike and Applebloom could be lookouts, at the end of the cave was the entrance Sweetie had made, only the 5 could enter and exit through it, and once she saw their 6th member they to would be able to do this. Applebloom had set aside 7 of the 12 rooms for specific reasons, 6 of them for the individual member to take as a room, and one that was built at the very bottom of the tree was to be used for meeting, they had their very own Cutie-map in the room that showed where all the living creatures of Ponyville where at all times, at that moment Scootaloo was pretending to crush the tiny version of Spike happily walking through the rain towards Ponyville.

"This is the coolest thing ever." She said while Babs talked to Sweetie, who did as she asked, after a moment there was a Basketball court off to the side of their Treehouse and the pool.

"Oh yeah, you three can be the home team, Me Spike and 6 can be the other team." She said as she picked up the magically reinforced basketball and bounced it, Sweetie having specially made it so none of the sharper fingered ones would pop it on accident. she made her way to the pool and sat on the ground, splashing the water with her hooves.

"I wonder who number 6 will be," she said to herself while Applebloom and Scootaloo joined Babs in playing a weird one on one on one Basketball game.

Spike skipped down the street, merrily singing a song to himself that he had heard on an old record, it was originally in a different language so it didn't sound as good as the first time he'd heard it.

"♫I’m not dead and I’m not alive either. My tin heart plays a wound up rhythm. Just by taking three steps, all are obscure. My velvet eyes appear at the mainspring♫"

"What the hell are you singing?" The voice asked absentmindedly.

"A Song." Spike responded merrily "I can't speak the original language so I had to get it translated after first hearing it, I haven't sung it in a long while but it just came to my mind."

"Well of course it did, you have the powers of a Siren." The voice said simply "You sing and gain control of others around you, so I made it so you could call up the memories of any song you should wish to remember, my guess is you where trying to think of a song with nothing in particular in mind and you got a random song from your memory"

"Let me guess, Twilight and the other's are immune to this just like they were to the actual sirens."

"You know where the Sirens are!?" The voice asked suddenly sounding interested "I've been searching for those three for a good long while."

"Their in another Dimension now." Spike responded merrily "Starswirl sent them there." The Voice grumbled irritably at this news and Spike switched from singing to humming so as to not accidentally Siren the town and gain the attention of the Mane 6 while alone. Spike made his way down the street, more than a few ponies noticing his smile.

"Morning Spike."

"Morning also to you," Spike replied to Bon Bon who smiled at him until her watch began beeping like crazy.

"oops gotta go." She said with a wave as she ran off, almost losing her Umbrella to the rain as she moved into the shadows on a building and looked at Spike who was trying to figure out where to go. she held up her hand and pressed on her watch.

"Agent Sweetie Drops calling in." She said quietly. "You where right boss." She looked at her watch, it had a tiny needle on it and it was in the red.

"Targets name?" A distorted voice responded

"Spike the Dragon." She replied, "He set the meter to red, and there's something wrong with his face." Spike decided to check out Cheerliees School since the entire team was school age and it was defiantly the least crowded of the two schools he could go check. Bon Bon got another glimpse of his face and nodded "He's smiling from ear to ear, Not his normal smile either, his upper lip looks like the smile you'd see a foal draw on a cat picture."

"Good work, you where well worth the effort it took to find you, I shall Inform all the Agents in your area and alert the Princess, we may not know what's causing these fluctuations in Dark Magic, but if Spike is radiating it out of nowhere, we can only assume he's either apart of the problem, possessed, or that's not the real Spike. Do not let target leave your line of sight, repeat doesn't let target leave your line of sight." Bon Bon looked out and found that Spike had long gone, he wasn't even on the trail she'd seen him going down.

"Too late." She responded, "Target is long gone."

"Then report to meeting site Alpha-B," The voice said, "we shall find Spike after the Princess has been notified of the situation." Bon Bon looked around and headed out, as she moved Spike moved from his hiding spot from a puddle right next to the corner she'd been hiding behind, once she was gone he laughed.

"And you thought I was being stupid when I followed her." he smiled

"Shit." the voice replied "Move it Dragon, you're on a leash now, find the 6 and return to the base before any of the Princesses begin searching for you."

"Yay, I'm gonna be hunted!" Spike cheered as he turned and headed out to Cheerliees school in the hope that somepony would be there.

Silver Spoon: The 6th Member

Spike was moving as fast as he could when he arrived at the school, it had let out a fair amount of time ago but it was the only place he could think to go now that any second Twilight might come after him with some backup, leaving her school as an out of bounds zone, he looked around and found that it was almost completely empty, except for one filly who was swinging back and forth on the Swings with little care or mirth.

"Oh, When we get back I should ask about getting a swing, and a pool."

"Hey, Spike wants a swing set." The Voice said lazily to Sweetie.

"Yeah, I can do that." she replied, materializing one next to her "oh, you know what, I wanted one without realizing I wanted it until I had it, awesome."

"Also Spike is about to be targeted so heads up on that."

"K." Sweetie responded as she got on the swing and began swinging.

"Hey is that a Swing set!" Scootaloo asked from the Basketball court.

"Hey what's up I was talking to Sweetie." The voice said.

"Nothing much, just creeping," Spike responded as he walked over to the swing and proceeded to sit next to the filly, whom he identified as Silver Spoon.

"Morning." He said jollily making her jump.

"Oh! you're the Dragon who follows Princess Twilight around everywhere." She noticed "You once made a bunch of Nachos that no one ate."

"Lies, I ate them." Spike responded, "took 3 days but I ate them!" as Spike swang next to her she stared at him in silence.

"So what's with the entire left side of your face?" She asked, Spike, blinked in confusion and looked down at his reflection in a puddle, what was up with the left side of his face was that when the Voice had left Spike's Disguise had started breaking apart, the left side of his face, the first spine on his head, most of his left hand, a chunk of his torso, and his entire right leg below the knee had all reverted to his Octo-Dragon form.

"Well fuck." Spike said as he looked at his face, he looked over and found the swing empty. "and double fuck." He added before he heard the shutting of a door as Silverspoon hide inside the empty school. "Triple fuck." Spike decided as he moved out.

"Want me to fix the-" The Voice started

"Naw, I look freaky deaky, I wanna scare Twilight with this when she catches me." he walked over to the door and looked inside the what was just a single roomed building. "Hey, I'm not one to judge, but what the actual hell are you still doing here? I was expecting to find this place empty what with it Raining and all."

"They why was this the first place you chose to look!?" The voice demanded. Spike ignored it.

"Come one, I'm not gonna eat you." He looked around the empty room and noted the Filly trying to open a back window, Spike slid on his right leg silently and just as the window budged open he popped up. "Hello again." He sang out as he stuck his fingers in the opening and shoved the window open, Silver Spoon fell back and tried to back up, Spike burst the back of his magic disguise and pulled the filly out of the building with his back tentacles, dropping her in the soaking mud. She felt the wind rushing past her as she spoke up.

"My dad locked me out of the house again and he's not gonna be home for another 3 hours." She replied, Spike blinked, now frowning.

"Sorry?"

"You asked why I hear and not at home, That's why."

"Oh, your life sounds terrible, I feel infinitely less terrible for what I'm about to do then." Spike proceeded to sit down next to the filly and wiped off her glasses before replacing them on her face. "You, my little friend, are about to be turned into a monster, and we, by that I mean me and a few friends of mine who you already know, will never lock you out." Spike offered her his left hand. "Just shake my hand, and you get crazy superpowers, the body of a monster and an adult pony, and even some third thing probably." Silver Spoon looked at him.

"Will-will I be a sidekick or-or will I be a main member of the team."

"My friend you will be a main member of the team, hell you can have your own house if you want, though it might be smaller than your school here." He said, shaking his hand a little. "We got a deal?" Silverspoon looked at him silently, then reached out and shook his hand, as soon as they shook Spike flashed out and grabbed her glassed just as she sank into the ground with a yelp.

"Nice negotiation skill." The Voice cheered "I didn't even have to talk to her, that my friend was some quality work right there." Spike watched as Silver Spoon burst from the ground, she was built like a Diamond Dog, she had a long furry tail that ended in a mace. Her arm's got thicker as the closer they got to her hands, she had large hand's with nail-like claws, she had some wicked Spike's starting at her elbows and working up to her shoulder, she had dog-like teeth and now had four eyes, she was also now the only member of the team besides Spike to have toes now, which she wiggled in fascination, her canines protruded past her lips similar to Scootaloo's, To complete the look Spike placed her Glassed back on her face.

"Oh, I'm a Were-pony thing!" She cheered before squeezing Spike "Oh thank you!" as this was happening Bon Bon was standing with three of the other Ponyville Spies.

"All present?" Bon Bon asked.

"Present." Derpy said simply."

"Present," Dr.Hooves replied.

"YEAH!" Bulk Biceps replied. Bon Bon looked around for a moment.

"Oh yeah, Carrot top's out on Business, and I guess Cheerliee probably fell asleep grading again, alright we'll just have to work with what we got, The Princess should be arriving right about-"

"Now." Twilight cut in as she walked up to the group. "Alright, this better be an emergency, casue I've got so much paperwork to do, And I have to do Reshelving day alone since Spike chose today for his day off, and Starlights busy helping with Cleanup from today's monster attack."

"Oh, Princess you may want to sit down for this." Bon Bon said to her. "you see, the thing is, oh how do I say this. Spike might be possessed and or worse." Twilight processed that for a moment before he eye twitched.

"I'm sorry did you just say, that Spike-"

"Is either bat shit crazy, or some monster killed him and is now wearing his skin like a suit." Bon Bon replied as she and the other agents all hid behind Bulk.

Spike and Silver Spoon were waiting for Sweetie's portal when the heard Twilight Rage.

"Oh shit, I can't miss this," Spike said with a laugh, stepping out of the way. "Tell Sweetie to keep me on her radar, I wanna play a little before going home."

"Alright, Spike." Silver replied just before she was Vortexed away.

"Where's Spike?" Scootaloo asked.

"About to go fuck with Twilight, oh wow you guys all look so unique." Silver said as she was pulled from the water by Babs, Sweetie was about to close the portal when Scootaloo shot off threw it.

"Anypony else?" She asked, after a moment of no response she closed it and motioned to the Tree. "Then let us go make popcorn and watch this then."

Spike smile turned genuine once Scootaloo appeared and landed next to him.

"Oh good, I was hoping one of you would join me."

"Hell yeah!" Scootaloo replied "They may have the advantage, but we got Sweetie covering our backs. Let's go get our asses kicked for some cheap laughs."

Bulk Biceps, Best Secret agent.

The Prelude to a Battle

Spike and Scootaloo walked casually down the road from the school to Ponyville waiting to get ambushed, as per request Scootaloo was now in complete disguise, and after some talking, Spike had agreed to get his fixed up.

"I wanted to freak her out," Spike complained as they walked the muddy path.

"Your Smile will do that plenty." Scootaloo replied, "Alright if we're going to do this, we're going to do this right, you have Siren powers right?"

"Indeed I do," Spike responded as he splashed in a puddle. "Want me to sing to thee a song?"

"No, I want you to sing Ponyville a song," Scootaloo replied as they entered the mostly empty town. Scootaloo waved at a few ponies as they walked on. "Alright, let's split, I'm gonna go Rainbow hunting, and you have fun with Twilight, meet me at town hall and we'll join forces, Break!" The two high fived and split up, Spike headed down to the Castel skipping while Scootaloo just walked about asking if anypony or creature had seen Rainbow. Spike made it to his destination and merrily walked into the castle looking around.

"I'm thinking I'll sink this bitch to the bottom of the ocean and just chill here once she's gone." Spike decided "but should I bring it to the ocean, or bring the ocean to it?" he scratched his chin in thought for a moment "Questions for later." he decided as he moved through the halls and made his way into the Library, even if she was after him, Twilight would be in the Library at the very least to pick up a book for bed, and Spike was more than ready to wait for her, at least he was until he walked in and found Rainbow Dash sitting alone in the Library with her back to Spike as she lazily read a Daring Doo book, Spike turned his back to her and did several sidesteps until he was in front of a Bookshelf. "Oh, Crap."

Scootaloo was casually walking through Ponyville on her search for Rainbow when she ran into the wrong member of Harmony.

"Scootaloo have you seen Applebloom!?" Applejack asked with panic in her voice, "I don't know what happened, I come home and find a huge chunk of the orchard destroyed and when I rushed to the house the door was open, Applebloom knows to close it, what if some monster or monsters-" Scootaloo raised her hands

"Chill, I have no idea where-" Scootaloos reply was cut off when Rarity made herself known from a little ways behind her.

"Oh! Applejack have you seen Sweetie? I can't find her anywhere, the entire Boutique is a mess, I think some monster may have taken her way!" Scootaloo stood in silence as the two compared stories and came to the conclusion that both their sister had been kidnapped.

"We need to go get Twilight." Applejack decided "She'll know how to track them down."

"Well good luck with that, I've got to go-" Scootaloo attempted when both Applejack and Rarity got on either side of her.

"Don't be silly darling." Rarity said, "two of the three Crusaders have been kidnapped, there's a good chance there might be some sick group of freaks out to get you." Scootaloo was about to argue with them when a mailpony landed next to them.

"here you go," Derpy said as she handed Applejack a letter, Derpy flew off and landed on a building overlooking the three as her bracelet went wild, she pressed a button and spoke calmly into it. " Princess, judging from what I've heard, Two of the-"

"Babs is missing." Applejack said bluntly "Was she a-"

"Yes, yes she was a Crusader," Scootaloo replied.

"-Three, Three Cutie Mark Crusaders have gone missing, but not the three you're thinking off, one form their Manehattan branch from what I can tell."

"Scan the last one for-"

"Already done ma'am." Derpy replied as she held up the small device "Her readings are just as high as Spike's where, The Suspect is being taken to your castle by two of your friend's ma'am, you might want to get there fast."

"Thank you, Derpy, return to your post."

"Understood." and with that Derpy set off cross eyes into the rain. Scootaloo moved one of her ears.

"Interesting." The Voice noted, "Seems you and Spike have already been spotted, but the good news is Spike somehow managed to get Rainbow Dash into the Library, no idea how he did that, I wasn't paying attention." Scootaloo smiled. and walked on in silence with her two chaperones towards the castle.

Spike flipped through the first book he got his hands on, it was yet another Marine Biology book.

"Hu, what are the odds?" he pondered as he did his best to not be noticed by Rainbow, who had noticed him as soon as he had talked aloud. Rainbow looked over at him as he looked through his book.

"Hey, Spike," Rainbow said lazily, Spike's eye twitched.

"Hi Rainbow." He said waving back at her without turning his head to face her "How are...things?"

"Things are boring." Rainbow replied, "I've read this book like 7 times, and it's the only Daring Doo book not checked out, last time I agree to watch the Library for Twilight." Rainbow closed her book and casually tossed it onto a cart full of Books, Spike tried to think of a good excuse for his face and said the best thing he could think of.

"Hey Rainbow, You've ever eaten three one-pound bags of Sugar?" Rainbow one of Rainbows ears perked up as she gave him a questioning look.

"No?" She replied questioningly before Spike turned to face her. Rainbow stared at him for a moment before chuckling, chuckling quickly turned to laughter. "Sweet Celestia Spike! I think you just cracked the case behind Pinkie's undying happiness!" Rainbow laughed as Spike shrugged.

"I literally can't stop smiling!" Spike laughed at her, thankful that Applejack wasn't there to call him on his bullshit. Rainbow got up and Gave Spike a once over,

"So no matter what I do your just gonna keep smiling?" Rainbow asked, "You just stuck like that?" Rainbow waved her hand in front of his face "How long?"

"An hour or so ago." Spike replied with a Laugh, It's Appleblooms fault, completely her fault, not my idea." Spike placed his book back on the shelf as Rainbow tried to not laugh at his face.

"You sound so Genuinely happy." She noted, "Maybe you and Pinkie should put on a show, you'd probably be killer."

"Ha! Killer, that's funny." Spike said as he thought back to earlier in the day when Scootaloo had killed a guy "Classic." He decided as he waved Rainbow goodbye.

"Welp have fun guarding the Library." He said jollily as he left the room and whispered "Hey voice maybe tell Scootaloo Rainbow is-"

"Oh she, Applejack and Rarity are all on their way as we speak. Twilight's probably coming to" Spike blinked at that.

"Well shit." Spike decided as he looks around the castle "This is not gonna end well." he scratched the back of his head "Maybe I should meet Scootaloo half way and see if the plans still the same." a Loud knock rang through the castle.

"Scootaloo's here." The Voice informed.

Scootaloo stood awkwardly between her forced companions as they waited for the door's to open, after some waiting they swung open.

"Come on in you three." Spike said from behind the door "Please wait for Twilight in the Library, she's on her way here as we speak." Once they were in the castle she slowed down as he Companions hightailed it to the Libary, as soon as they go a little ahead, Spike's hand shot out and he silently pulled her into an open door, he closed the big doors and slid back into the room and turned to Scootaloo.

"So as it turns out Rainbow Dash is in the Library at the moment."

"Of course she fucking is," Scootaloo replied as she rubbed her temple. "Of fucking Corse, did the Voice tell you-?"

"That Twilight and her Special Forces are on their way?" Spike cut in "Yes, yes it did tell me about that."

"Alright, then lets put our plan into action, while there distracted lets high tail it back to Ponyville and start your siren song, send all of the creatures within the sound of your voice to assault the castle!"

"Wait what Distracti-" Spike's question was answered when Scootaloo's disguise dissipated. "Oh, Bully." Spike said happily as he opened a window "Well then Fly little Scootabat, fly free and may your teeth taste blood again." Spike said as he walked back out of the halls and looked down the hall where Rainbow was having an argument with Applejack and Rarity, Spike took a few steps forward so the open doorway was a bit behind him.

"What do you mean she's just gone?" she demanded angrily.

"She was here with us when we walked in!" Applejack shot back as he looked around, Rarity was the first to notice Spike by the door.

"Oh, Spikey-Wikey!" Spike frowned at that, but his distance didn't give that away. Rainbow looked over at him.

"Hey, Spike you said you saw Applebloom like an hour ago right?" She called "She's gone have you-" The Trio all froze as Scootaloo casually walked out through the side door, and smiled at the trio who all had a different reaction, to properly fuck with them Spike called out.

"What? You can't just cut off like that, what did you want?" Rarity was the first to react to that.

"Spikey Behind you!" Scootaloo's arm shot out and clamped around Spike's neck, pulling him to her as they smiled at each other.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Scootaloo called "Did I not tell you what happened to Applebloom and Sweetie?" She asked, "Casue I know exactly what happened, but don't worry, we made sure Babs wasn't left out." She smiled down at them as two of the three mares turned violent, Words failed Applejack as she began breathing heavily, Rarity looked to Spike then Scootaloo. Rainbow just stood in horror at Scootaloo who just she smiled at her.

"Put.him.down." Applejack said forcefully "And we. can. talk-" Scootaloo lowered Spike down and moved from holding him with her hand to placing her entire arm around his neck as she used her other hand to slowly turn his head.

"What was that?" Scootaloo asked, "You should really finish your sentences." Spike meanwhile was focusing on giving himself some fack neckbones so Soootaloo's act would have some convincing sound effects.

"Kid Listen." Rainbow started, at once Scootaloo pushed out and pushed Spike's head as far as it would go without breaking.

"I'm sorry do I look like a kid to you?" Scootaloo asked when Rarity took a step forward.

"I swear to Celestia if you did anything to Sweetie Belle, and if you don't move your fucking hands this second from my Spike-Wikey-" Scootaloo smiled and pushed all the way, an Echoing Crack sounded through the hall and Scootaloo Half hazardly threw Spike into the side room.

"Oh dear, did you not want me to do that?" Scootaloo asked as the three Mares looked at her in horror. "It just sounded like doing that might piss you off, please tell me it did." Rainbow shot forward like a rocket and Slammed Scootaloo threw the door, Scootaloo felt a burst of pain as Rainbow's punch left a Burn on her cheek. Scootaloo slid across the wet muddy ground, the Rain was really coming down now as she shook her self off and watched as Rainbow opened the door, breathing heavily.
at the same Time, Spike had popped his head the right way as soon as he had been thrown into the room and had jumped out the window, ditching his disguise and going full octo Dragon as he jumped into the rain and melted into a puddle before speeding off to Ponyville like a rocket. Rainbow walked out into the rain with her friends behind her,

"Where is he!?" Rarity demanded as she ran into the room and looked around for a moment before running out into the rain and glaring down at Scootaloo "What did you-?"

"Oh, you mean overall or just what I did to Spike?" she asked with a smile as the three mares walked towards her "Alright let's get this shit started then," Scootaloo said with a smiled as she took to the air and looked down at the trio. "Game on."

Song of Doom

Spike slid through the puddles down to the town, he was just about to make it when a Magical dome surrounded the castle grounds and cut off the rain, Spike failed to slow down and ran face-first into the dome,

"Oh, Son of a bitch!" Spike laughed as he pulled out of it "Missed it by that much," he shook his head and turned, Scootaloo looked up at the dome and Rainbow shot forward and kneed her in the stomach, sending her flying through the air and resulting in her hitting Spike, and the two hitting the dome, "So how are things?" Spike asked,

"Terrible so far, how are things with you?"

"I have been cut off from my rain clouds," Spike replied as he looked up, the clouds had begun parting and the rain had slowed to a crawl as soon as the dome had fully shut Spike in, "They're running away," He waved at the sky, "Come back and cry for me,"

"You're a little crazy," Scootaloo noted,

"I am not, you are though ya murderer,"

"Ha, good times," Scootaloo got up and Spike joined her, the two turned and looked at Rainbow staring at Spike as Twilight landed next to her,

"Alright, you two need to stand down and help me, help you," Rarity and Applejack ran down the hill and slowed to a crawl when they Saw Spike,

"Hey, I'm an Octo-Dragon now," Spike said merrily as he placed his hands on his cheeks and began to push his head a full 360 Degrees when his head was facing backward he saw something outside the dome and began singing "♫I have no bones, as you can see, to hold me down, to make me frown,♫" Spike was now facing them with a fully twisted neck" ♫I had bones, But now I'm free♫" He let go and his head swung back into place as he finished "♫there are no bones in me♫" Spike gave them a smile when, without warning the dome faded away, outside it, Twilight's agents had been keeping it up and 4 different locations and Spike had spotted Dr.Hooves running one of the devices keeping it up and tried his Siren powers,

"Ha suck it I'm a Siren!" Spike yelled as the rain restarted and he slid away "I'm gonna fuck up yo neighborhood! Twilight blasted a spell at him and it dissipated as soon as it touched him "Bye, have fun, Doctor break that machine then go ahead and attack them or kill yourself, don't care which!" with that Spike melted into a puddle, and Scootaloo flipped them off as she shot into the sky,

"Meet me at the Place Spike," She called back as the Elements split into four solo acts, Rarity ran after Spike, Applejack B-lined it to the Doctor, Rainbow flew after Scootaloo, and Twilight called in her agents,

"Mission fail, Spike, or whoever he is, has Water manipulation, Magic protection, and is apparently a Siren, also he has Tentacles so look out for that," once they where notified she flew into Ponyville to search for Spike, meanwhile Scootaloo was flying through the clouds with Rainbow Dash approaching fast, the burn on Scootaloo's cheek had started to heal itself and the one Rainbow had left on her stomach when she had kicked her off was healing itself as well.

"Something wrong?" Scootaloo asked "You seem mad about something,"

"Kid you need to stop, I don't know what's wrong with you but I don't want to hurt you, I thought I had to but you haven't crossed the line of no..."

"If you're referring to murder," Scootaloo interrupted "Me and Spike already crossed that line," She flipped in the air and dropped, holding up her hand and flipping off Rainbow as she did so, Rainbow flew at full speed down at her, an air cone was forming around her, she said something but it was lost, she was about to reach Scootaloo, who opened her mouth and spat out a Purple liquid, without hesitation Rainbow shot up, and a Sonic Rainboom was formed, the shock wave hit Scootaloo like a train as she tripled in speed and slammed into the ground, several bones broke, but the voice set to work fixing her up the moment she landed, it took a few seconds but she was back to being good and hit her chest as Rainbow shot off into the distance, now trying to slow down enough to turn back,

"See ya later bitch," Scootaloo said with a smile as she turned and made her way to Town Hall.

The Doctor had tried to attack Applejack but Bulk Biceps had walked up behind him and knocked him out,

"Yeah!" he screamed,

"Keep an eye on him" Applejack requested.

"YEAH!" Bulk replied as Applejack high-tailed it to Ponyville she found Rarity staring at a wall,

"Rarity what's wrong?" She asked as she slowed down, Rarity gave no response, Applejack walked to her friend and put her hand on her back when a Tentacle broke threw it, Rarity's head turned to look at her, she had yellow eyes and a big grin, Applejack pulled back as Rarity melted into Spike.

"Hey Jackie," Spike cheered, Applejack was about to respond when she noticed smoke rising between them she looked down at Spike's tentacle, which was smoking at her touch, "Trust me, it hurts way more than it looks," He smiled at her "Just wanted to let you know that this is specifically nothing personal against you," He paused for a moment "Come to think I only feel malic to Rarity and Twilight but eh," He shrugged "I liked you before, you where definitely kinder to me than Rarity ever was, but I'm evil or something, so just a fair heads up Appleblooms one of us," Applejack stared at him in silence and he held up his hands "And she was the first one, lead the voice right to me and the rest, I got Silver Spoon though, that one was my bad," Spike winced as his Tentacle was melted in half, Spike looked at the broken watery apendage as he began melting "Have fun with the knowledge that your sister is trying to kill you," With that he turned fully to water and slid away as Applejack stood staring at the wall in horor, as this happened Rarity rounded the corner, her make up was a mess and her eye's where somewhat red, Spike had told her about her sister as soon as she had cornered him, she also had a hand print on her face, a gift from Spike for the Pin cusion insident, It wasn't clear for whitch Rarity was crying but it was most liekly a combination of the two as she tried to stop crying, it was at that time that Twilight landed between them and looked at them in confusion and with consern.

"What happened?"

"Man I fucked them both up," Spike noted as he materialized through the rain on top of Townhall, he took a deep breath, his voice echoed through Ponyville, it came through every drop of rain, and every puddle was his speaker as he began singing.

"♫The stars are very beautiful, above the palace walls♫" As soon as Spike began singing the entire town went still, every Ponyfroze as Spike's wants became theirs and every pony made their way to the mane 6, Twilight stood in the center of town as Pinkie made her way down the street with a confused look as Fluttershy walked backward's out of a nearby store, several ponies walked in perfect sink out several buildings, a few ponies even broke through windows, more than a few hurting themselves in the process as Spike continued singing, "♫They shine with equal splendor, still above far humbler halls♫ Spike held up his arms as Scootaloo landed,

"Oh this is gonna be awesome," She said as she watched Spike's mob begin to advance on the 5 elements,

"What's going on?" Fluttershy asked, "Why do I hear Spike everywhere?"

"This is the weirdest flash mob I've ever seen," Pinkie noted as the towns ponies closed in, all of their eyes where beginning to roll into the back of their heads, from behind them Twilight's agent, excluding Dr.Hooves, began advancing,

"Everypony move!" Twilight called as she shoved Applejack out of the way just as Bulk Biceps came crashing down where she had just been standing.

"♫I watch them from my window, but their bright entrancing glow, Reminds me of the freedom I gave up sGEAH!" Spike was cut off harshly as Rainbow Dash flew in out of the left field, holding her arms out at her side, she cracked scootaloo's neck and beheaded Spike, the two fell to the ground, Scootaloo fixing herself and Spike calling up "Hey I was singing!" as soon as his song had been forcefully ended the ponies of Ponyville snapped out of his control,

"Why did they snap out but the Doctor didn't?" Scootaloo demanded as her neck snapped back into place,

"Guess me stopping mid-word snapped them out," Spike said, his body shrugged as it got up, and his head melted into the ground and re-grew onto his body "That's an annoying loophole," he noted as the mane 6 approached them,

"Ok," Twilight said breathing heavily as the confused residents looked around "Make this easy on yourselves and come..." Twilight cut off as a Vortex formed behind the two, two long, white, and pink ribbons came through it and wrapped around the duo.

"Our rides here," Scootaloo said as she flipped them off once more.

"Let's play again later," Spike added before he and Scootaloo were pulled in and it closed there was a brief moment of silence.

"Was that Spike!?" Fluttershy demanded in confusion.

"What happened?" Pinkie asked as Twilight looked at them both, then at Rainbow who was seizing with rage, then Applejack and Rarity who were both slowly falling apart.

"Come on girls, we're heading to Canterlot."

Author's Note

I know you might think Spike is a little fucked up, but I assure you...all 6 of them are.

Song Spike was singing

Cost of the Crown

Meetings

The Anti 6 were gathered around their map of Equestria as the Voice spoke to them,

"Sweetie, Silverspoon, and Spike, you three head to the Crystal Empire, make sure to go incognito and get as close to the Crystal heart as you can. Spike you're trusted there so it's your job to get Sweetie to the heart, Sweetie once you have it engulf it in your magic and I'll take it from there, Spike and Silverspoon you two distract the citizens of the empire by using your combined powers to make it seem as tho the ocean is swallowing the empire, but I can't stress enough that you don't destroy the empire.

Applebloom, Babs, and Scootaloo you three head out and hunt the Elements, killing one isn't necessary your job is to distract them and hopefully have them call on the aid of the princesses witch should hopefully lure Princess Cadance out of the empire and make the S-team's job easier, Any questions?"

"Yeah, why ain't I one the S-team?" Scootaloo complained.

"Cause you're needed on team Abs." Babs replied with a cocky smile. Scootaloo thought of that for a moment before shrugging.

"Alright?"

"Shouldn't we have back up plan in case this one goes wrong?" Sweetie belle asked putting her new smarts to good use.

Not a bad idea as their could be something that we don't account for. the voice said Okay here's the back up plan if things go wrong grab the heart and run. Silverspoon and Babs looked at each other ,Babs just shrugged.

"Well that's a good a back up plan as any" Silver replied

"Okay on three" Scootaloo said as she held a hand out and waited for the others who looked at her funny. "It's what they do on a hoofball team before every game." She explained. The others sort of getting it put that respective limbs on Scootaloos. "One two THREE GO TEAM." She shouted as all their arms go up.

"I feel Stupid," Spike muttered as Sweetie lit her horn and just like that She, Silver, and Spike where all gone. the reaming trio looked at each other for a moment before Applebloom smiled.

"Alright let's go cause a distraction,"

"That is insane," Pinkie said as Twilight filled her in, there train was just leaving the station the Mane 6 had all gathered together to fill each other in on what the other's may have missed, Rainbow was looking out the window steaming with rage.

"3 bags of Sugar," She muttered "Can't believe I bought that load of bull,"

"Oh I hope there OK," Fluttershy said getting a few looks "I mean Spike and Scootaloo would never do...something like that, oh I just hope whatever did this to them didn't hurt,"

"What ever did this to them is gonna get their face kicked in," Applejack said angrily "No one messes with an Apple and gets away with it," Rarity was silently crying in the corner with Fluttershy patting her back softly.

"Sweetie, my little Spikey Wikey, turned into monsters," Rarity rubbed the mark that was still on her face after Spike had slapped, she was filled with rage, not at him but at whatever had turned him into such a vile beast. "If I ever get my hands around who or whatever did this I...I don't know what I'll do but it won't be pretty," Twilight looked around at her friends before taking a deep breath.

"There's a very good chance, so good that I'm positive, that we will have to fight them, we might have to hurt them, and if what Scootaloo said is true, then they will hurt not only use, but anypony around them, there dangerous, it may hurt to say this...but if it comes to it we will have to stop them, just like every other villain." The other 5 Looked at her but before any of them could respond the sounds of breaking glass came from their window, they all turned and looked out at Scootaloo smiling at them as she scratched at the glass.

"Glad to hear," She said as she held up a potted plant "It's be boring if you didn't fight back," With as much force as she could she shattered the glass and tossed the plant into the train compartment before taking flight. "Have fun in there," Rainbow jumped to her hooves and ran to the nearest emergency exit and made to grab it when it began sparking, she moved back as Babs Tore the door off it's hinges and smiled. Her Friends made to follow when the Plant began growing, and Applebloom took form, her lower body now comprised of vine like tendrils instead of having legs, she smiled as a yellow smokey substance poured out of her mouth and rose to the top of the train car. Applejack looked at her with horror and she smiled.

"Hey sis,"

Sweeties portal opened in a back alley of the Empire, as soon as they stepped threw it the three where all covered in a disguise so that they looked like their old selves.

"So what's are story?" Sweetie asked sweetly.

"I dunno, when push comes to shove I'll pull something out my butt, but remember the best way to improve is to work off each other, so if something say's something stupid, we all make it even stupider."

"You think that'll work?" Silver asked with a raised brow.

"I mean, worst case scenario we grab the Heart and Sweetie Nopes us the hell out of here,"

"True," Sweetie said with a smile "Alright we'll do it in turns, Spike you start, then Silver, then me, first one to break the script is the other two's slave for an hour when we get back,"

"Oh you better hope I lose," Spike said with a smile "I itching to be a hentai monster," Sweetie just smiled.

"Oh you know I hadn't thought of that, my tendrils could make that work, beware Silver, you lose your going to get double raped," Spike and Sweetie laughed merrily at the prospect and Silver raised a brow.

"You guys are kind of creepy, which is bad since were trying to act normal," The two just laughed at her for a moment before Sweetie patted her back.

"We're just messing with you Silver,"

"Yeah, it wouldn't be fun if you knew it was coming so far in advance, that said," Spike winked at her and said in a teasing voice "you should sleep with one eye open, I might get broad," Sweetie giggled and Silver groaned before taking point

"Alright enough messing around, lets head to the heart,"

Fight for the Empire: Part 1

Being the well known one Spike took point as they left the alley and made their way into the streets, they where swarmed instantly. Sweetie and Silverspoon hung back as Spike masterfully played off his smile.

"Just been so long since I've seen this beautiful city and it's patrons, every place that isn't the empire is just so dull and it's been so long since my last visit, I just can't stop beaming at this beautiful place and all the ponies who live here," The Crystal Ponies ate this up and Spike let them enjoy him for one last time before waving them off and leading the others to the Castle, and the Heart. A Few Guards where patrolling around it but paid them no mind thanks to Spike.

"This was boringly easy," Silver noted as she looked at the heart, before anything else could be said a happy voice sounded and Shinning Armor greeted them.

"Spike," He Cheered Giving him a hug Spike shivered a little at his touch before patting his brother on the back. "You should have called, is Twilight with you?"

"Nope, I weaseled some Vacation days out of her to show my friends around the Empire, they've been bugging me about it for weeks," Spike motioned to them and Sweetie spoke up.

"It's very nice to meet you mister Armor, Spike told us absolutely nothing about you in any personal manner, just the things everypony knows, Captain of the Guards, Husband of Cadance, that kind of stuff, I'm Sweetie Belle Rarity's younger sister,"

"It's a pleasure to meet you," Shining said politely as Cadance approached them with Flurry in her arms, Shining turned to Silver who said very bluntly.

"Spike owed me a butt load of bits and paying for this trip just about covers his debt," She shrugged "Almost," Shining looked over to Spike disapprovingly and Spike gave him a toothy grin.

"Pretty sure she's a cheater," he replied merrily, Cadance smiled at them before noticing Sweetie getting a little to close to the Crystal Heart.

"Whoa, sweetie you really shouldn't be touching that," Sweetie looked at it for a moment before turning to Cadance.

"How did you know my name?"

"Pretty sure that was a coincidence," Silver called back, Sweetie stepped back and looked at the heart.

"Hey Voice, I'm not entirely sure I can fight an Alicorn, at the very least I'm not mentally ready for it,"

"You could fight her but I require you at your full power to be the conduit to take the heart, no worries tho, your distraction should be coming right about-" a guard came rushing out of the castle, tripping down the stairs in his hast.

"Shinning rushed to him and helped him to his hooves,"

"Princess, message from Princess Twilight, the letter was rushed and messy but it appears something is turning children into horrifying monster and she requires your aid in containing those infected," Cadance looked at Shinning before handing Furry to him and extending her wings.

"Shining keep an eye on Spike and his friends, we don't want whatever this is reaching the Empire," She took a running start and took to the air, teleporting in one of many jumps to reach Ponyville. Shining watched her go and Spike looked at the Guard and his eye's shot up when he saw the back of the note before smiling and walking over to the guard.

"Hey buddy," He said getting Shining's attention "There's something on the back," The Guard looked at Spike then flipped the page over.

"Oh it's a list of-" The Guard's eye's went wide as he stared at the letter.

"What's wrong?" Shining asked. The Guard made looked over to Spike who smiled.

"Read it," he said happily.

"List of the 6 who have been infected," The Guard looked at Shining who looked to the shivering guard then to Spike's ever growing smile.

"No," Shining said with realization, The Guard suddenly froze and dropped the note as tentacle shot out of his sternum and splattered blood around, The Guard's eye's rolled into his head and he fell, as he did so Spike's disguise broke apart and he smiled as he rose the blood soaked tentacle

"Bet his last thought was, why didn't I Look at the back," Spike said with a laugh as Shining backed away with horror in his eyes, the Guards in the area having similar reactions as Spike went on "She must have been in a hurry to have used a piece of paper instead of a scroll. Shame, that scroll could have saved lives," Flurry sneezed and Spike's eyes locked onto her. "Awe, she just so cute," Spike looked Shining in the eye "I bet all her widdle organs are cuter than regular organs," Shinning lit his horn and teleported Flurry to the nearest Guard, taking their Sword in the Process, the Guard blinked then turned and ran.

Spike watched the Guard then turned to Shining who was scowling.

"Spike I don't wanna do this," he said as he raised the sword "but you are not touching my daughter,"

"oh I'll do worse than touch her," Spike replied as Silver and Sweetie's disguises melted.

"Spike," Sweetie said "keep him busy, Silver go play with the Guards, I've got my task," Silver laughed and turned to the nearest Guard.

"I'm getting me some bones to munch on!" She cheered before getting down on all four and rushing the Guard, he fell pretty fast but the rest rushed her and she ran to a less crowded area, dragging her prize with her screaming. Most of the guards followed Silver but a few turned their attention to Sweetie who said simply.

"Spike kindly kill any of the none Shining Armor guards left here when I get to 5," The remaining Guards rushed after Silver and Spike turned to Shining, who was holding his sword ready to fight. Spike smiled at him and held out his arms, a glob of water formed in the palm of each hand and began spinning.

"Coming Shining, Let's play ball!"

Fight for the Empire: Part 2

The Main 6 split into teams of two, Rainbow and Fluttershy ran to the end of the train cart to take flight after Scootaloo, Pinkie and Twilight jumped Babs with Rarity and Applejack left looking up at Applebloom who was grinning ear to ear. Before either of the two could talk Applebloom slammed her upper body head first at them, Rarity tackled Applejack out of the way just as Applebloom slammed past them and into the wall with enough force to dent the wall and cause the train car to tilt, as the cart tilted Twilight hit the wall and Pinkie was sent flying out the empty hole that had once been a door with Babs still locked in her hooves.

"Pinkie!" Twilight cried out as she jumped after her friend only to just miss Babs punch at her while also kicking at Pinkie in an attempt to throw the pink mare off and send her into the train tracks. Twilight lit her horn and teleported Pinkie into her arms just as Babs kicked right where her friend's face had been a mere moment before. Before Babs could strike again one of Appleblooms thorned tendrils like vines suddenly broke through the metal car and smacked Babs out of the air and sent her flying away from the train and skidding painfully into a tree. Before Twilight could turn to help with Applebloom, Applejack and Rarity both jumped out of the train car as copious amounts of yellow gas began spewing out the top of the door. Twilight caught her friends with her magic only to be slapped out of the air by one of Applebloom's vines. As the 4 were sent flying Applebloom watched as the vine that had touched Twilight began burning away before turning to the end of the train car and making her way to the next one down the line that was full of panicking passengers.

Above the train, Rainbow was playing a dangerous game of trying to keep Scootaloo from latching onto Fluttershy while Fluttershy tried to avoid the copious amounts of poison being spat at her while also evacuating any animals around them.

"This game is over kid," Rainbow said as she managed to get her arm around Scootaloo's neck, the results were instant as her neck began smoking, Scootaloo let out a sonic wail that almost made Fluttershy drop out of the air, Rainbow Used her free hand to grip one of Scootaloo's wings before moving her arm away from her now burnt throat and grabbing the other wing, Scootaloo let out another scream and Rainbow let her go, her wings now to burnt and bloody to fly she watched as Scootaloo plummeted like a rock. "And we're done," She said turning to Fluttershy who watched Scootaloo drop and was unsure how to proceed.

"Will she be OK?" The Yellow Pegasus asked in a worried tone.

"I snapped her neck maybe an hour ago," Rainbow replied "And she just got back up from that, we need to regroup and-" Rainbow was cut off when Babs rocketed out from below and put her hand on the back of Fluttershy's neck. Fluttershy didn't even have time to look back at what was grabbing her when Babs screamed out and let out a burst of Electricity, Fluttershy scream echoed through the sky before going limp in Babs grasp.

"Game over," Babs said with a smile before tossing aside the charged Pegasus, Rainbow rushed to grab her unconscious friend only for Scootaloo to return in force and slam into the Cyan Pegasus belly head first. Babs moved to join the fight when suddenly both Fluttershy and Rainbow were teleported away.

"I thought Applebloom was keeping Twilight busy," Babs said angrily as she turned and was met with Candance and Rainbow holding Fluttershy, Candance looked at them and lit her horn.

"Oh shit," Scootaloo and Babs said in unison before they were blasted out of the sky.

As this had been going down Applebloom made her way into the Next train car with some difficulty due to her size, the fact that everypony had instantly ran to the next car down the line didn't help.

"Get your asses back here!" She screamed out as they fled, each breath filling the car with more and more yellow gas. In the car, she was leaving the gas had started causing the train's roof to rust and its windows to crack. but thanks to this cart not having a hole in the wall to suck the gas out it began filling much faster, a few of the ponies failed to escape in time as the gas overtook them, Applebloom squeezed in just as the door to the other side was shut and the stragglers were left to their fate, Applebloom walked past them as they began heaving writhing in pain, the car only filling with more and more gas, she simply stood in the car and let it happen as the gas began eating away at the car she was standing in, it took a minute but her toxic gas finally did it job as one of the pony began vomiting, first the contents of his stomach came up, he tried to back up when it stopped but it came back in force as the same symptoms began appearing in the others and before long their lunch was replaced with blood and mucus, Applebloom watched as a mare crawled to her, tears of blood blinding her.

"Kill me," the mare pleaded in agony before more blood came up, her nose dripping with blood and snot. "Please,"

"Since you ask so sweetly," Without hesitation Applebloom grabbed the Mare with her tendril and slammed her into the wall, the mares cry of agony could be heard from the other car as Applebloom began violently beating her against the wall before using her to break a window before tossing her out it. "Anyone else want mercy?" She asked with a smile as the gas was sucked out of the room by the now open window. A colt tried to speak but was interrupted as he fell victim to the final stage of the gas as his body began dissolving from the inside out. one of the stragglers tired to bang on the door only for his own spine to tear through his back, the colts eyes began melting along with his sockets before he fell to pieces and began melting and joining the disgusting mess that was already on the floor, Applebloom watch as one of her victims began screaming for help only for her jaw to fall off, another tried to crawl to the open window only to lose his lower half as he did so, to her amazement one of the victims, who had been holding her breath, actually made it to the window and jumped for it, Appleblooms tendril followed the mare and only just missed her.

"6 out of 7 not too bad I suppose," She said with a shrug as she turned to the next room and easily broke the door with her tendril only to instantly find a magical force field. "Oh shit," She said in realization when she saw Twilight standing on the other and had no time to react before she was blasted back to the original train car, She snarled when another light caught her eye and she looked over just in time to be hit by a second blast of magic and was sent through the weakened walls of the now melting train car. Applebloom skidded across the ground and came to a stop right next to Babs and Scootaloo.

"that went well," Scootaloo said as her broken bones and scraped skin fixed themselves. Just as the trio was getting back up a barrier went around them and quickly turned into a sphere that picked them and their little bit of ground up.

"Three down," Candance said as Twilight landed next to her, the rest of her friends were either cutting off the infected train cars or helping Fluttershy. "We should probably go back to the empire, make sure Spike and his friends still haven’t been infected by this," Candance turned to Twilight and saw the look on her face.

"What?"

Fight for the Empire: Part 3

The Crystal empire had gone to hell very quickly thanks to Silverspoon, the second she had latched onto the guard and started running it had caused a mass panic and all the none guard crystal ponies ran as far from the fighting as they could, Silverspoon slid to a stop in the middle of a shopping pavilion and unlatched from her prey who was either dead or unconscious, She stood in wait as she was quickly surrounded by armed guards, she waited for them to all get into position before placing her hands on the ground and forcing her will through them, within seconds the area around them began cracking and shaking before she began reshaping the landscape around her like it was clay, before they could even begin to run she began latching the ground around the guards hooves and sinking them knee-deep into the ground, a fair few Pegasus and unicorns managed to escape from her, saving a few earth ponies as they did so, she ignored the escape's and looked to the guard directly in front of her and smiled. He didn't have much time to react before she pounced and sunk her teeth into his neck, holding steady as his life force dripped through her teeth, with the other guards panicking and crying for help as they watched her sink her teeth into their companion.

As that was going down Shining was playing his own dangerous game as a ball of spinning water flew past him and cut a pillar down.

"You see that?" Spike asked merrily as he danced around Shining throwing his water balls at him haphazardly "I didn't even know water could do that, maybe it can't I dunno," Spike gave his brother a smile before tossing another watery death ball at him, Shining easily got out of the way of Spike's slow onslaught but was unwilling to swing his sword at his younger sibling.

"Spike you need to stop" Shining begged as he dodged another spinning ball of wet death "I Don't know what's happening, but whatever did this to you we can fix it," Spike looked at Shining, his face not changing in the slightest as he looked to be lost in thought for a good moment.

"Has that line ever worked anywhere?" Spike asked curiously as he sprouted another arm and scratched his chin while using the others to continue bombarding Shining "There has to be a Comic, or maybe a Movie somewhere in existence when the hero said that and it actually worked right? Just to fuck with people's expectations at the very least," Before Spike could really go on a tangent Sweetie began snapping at him.

"Focus on distraction Shining," She said, her hands were outreached to the Crystal Heart, and her tendrils were slowly trying to wrap it up, the palms of her hands and her fingers were burning away at its harmonious magic, and her tendrils kept getting burned off as she tried to get them close to the heart, "It's gonna take a hell of a lot of time before I can even touch this dam thing, let alone begin corrupting it," upon hearing that Shining turned and rushed Sweetie, only for Spike to instantly drop kick him away and stand between him and his companion.

"Now, now Shinin'," Spike said merrily "It's my turn to pick the game and I think I've made it very clear that my game is dodge ball!" Spike picked up the speed and started using his back tentacles to throw 4 balls at Shining with rhythmical repetition, forcing Shining to run away from Sweetie. "Good luck," Spike added with a two-fingered salute to Sweetie before chasing after his brother.

"Luck my ass," Sweetie replied irritably as her body pulsed in pain "Pretty sure a normal pony would have died from shock with this much consistent pain," as she continued trying her best to overtake the heart, the heart turned all its might on her, resulting in the empires protective barrier failing. Silver had made a pair of large rock arms and was swinging them around at the pegasi in the sky, taking care to crush at least one guard before every other swing to try and draw her prey into trying to save her hostages.

"Come on special breeds, don't you wanna save your Earth pony friends?" Silver raised her hands and the rock ones did the same, as soon as she did this multiple unicorns began firing magic at her and teleporting the earth ponies away from her, the magic left burn marks on her but she ignored it as she held her hands out and her avatar arms began firing rocks at the pegasi and the unicorns, the earth around her violently crushing any of the remaining earth ponies near her. "Fine, you don't wanna play then I'll erase each and every one of you," Silver spoon set her arms down and watched her rock arms attack the defending unicorns, she readjusted her glasses before turning back to where the crystal heart was and rushing towards Spike and Shining.

Shining was trying to make his way back to the heart when he heard Silver running at him from behind, just as she jumped him he moved, and raised his sword, resulting in Silver raming her face into the flat end and causing her glasses to break, the shards of glass piercing three of her four eyes and causing her rock arms to break apart as she let out a howling scream and began running around like a rabid dog before being blasted once again by the advancing unicorn guards, Silver was hit in the face and lost the last of her eyes and ended up in the fetal position as she protected her face while waiting for it to fix itself, Spike smiled at his downed companion and the water balls dissipated from his hands.

"Ok fun over bro," Spike's arm shifted to one sharpened spike and shot out at Shining, just as it was about to hit Shining teleported away and appeared next to Sweetie, slashing her across the face and lopping off one of her ears before she could react, Sweetie took the slash like a champ and in no way reacted to shining as she continued struggling against the heart, Before Shining could swipe against Spike's arm shot out and his hand slammed into Shining's chest, sending his brother flying away, Spike's body began changing in shape as his back tentacles disappeared and he began more serpentine in shape, his lower body melting into a puddle as his midsection extended along with his arms. his arms whipped to Shining and his hands cracked the ground next to his brother as he moved himself to be standing before Shining.

"Fun's over," Spike repeated as he held up his long right arm, it began swirling around in the air and looping around itself before his hand swelled into a mallet and slammed down at Shining, who teleported away again, this time with the wrong color's. He frowned at the incorrect color of Magic but turned away from the spot when he realized he was being bombarded with magic. The Unicorn Guard was converging on him and Sweetie, Sweetie was ignoring them as they blasted spells at her back, the Empire's barrier had lost all power and the snowstorm was slowly moving in. Spike said nothing as he turned to the guards and began sprouting more arms and turned the hands on all of them into knives, doing the same with the one that was a mallet before violently lashing out at the guards with a smile. He didn't stop until he ran out of guards to hack and slash and admired the piles of gore he had left in their place.

"Oh how pretty," he said merrily as Silver Spoon got to her feet, slowly plucking the glass out of her three damaged eyes as the one that had been blasted repaired itself enough for her to see.

"Where'd your brother go?" She asked in confusion.

"Someone teleported him away," Spike replied happily "That means more friends will be coming to play with us soon, oh I hope one of them's Twilight,"

"You two shut up," The voice said getting all three of them to get back on track "Help Sweetie with the heart before Shining returns with back up,"

Babs Seed: Things are getting out of Hoof

Scootaloo landed on a roof, She was drenched in sweat as she dropped Spike's bucket, who rose out of it stretching.

"Nice hustle." Spike cheered "It only took us like 20 minutes to get here, that's gotta be a record."

"Better believe it!" Scootaloo replied as she looked around "So...where does Babs live?"

"Why would I know that?" Spike responded, "I don't even know who Babs is." Scootaloo blinked and slowly turned to him.

"Why the hell are you here? You should have gone after Sweetie and Applebloom should have come with me!"

"Wasn't my idea, was the voices."

"I'm sorry I wasn't paying attention to you two, what's happening?" The Voice said making Scootaloo jump and Causing Spike to fall on his face.

"I don't know where Babs lives and Spike doesn't even know who she is." Scootaloo said angrily "Applebloom should have been sent here not...oh hey there she is." Scootaloo watched in silence as Babs walked down below them with a bag thrown over her shoulder as she walked. Babs was on her way home back from her summer job as a Barbers assistant.

"Entitled bitch" She muttered irritably. "My shift ended 40-minutes ago, but Noo! little miss stuck up had to complain about her foals mane cut being too long, making me snip tiny pieces off one at a time, then trying to stiff me on the price." Babs let out a series of low volume swears at the mare "Can't wait to get out of this city, move someplace with less rich snobs."

"That sounds like a bitch and a half." The Voice said, Babs, stopped, looked around, then continued walking.

"And now I'm hearing voices, Best day ever."

"I like her already," Spike said just loud enough for Babs to hear.

"Oh? Why not take a picture punk, It'll last longer." Babs retorted, tossing her bag down and turning to the alleyway Spike's voice had come from.

"Spike you dumb ass." Scootaloo said irritable "You're supposed to wait for the Voice thing to make her evil first."

"It's no fun hanging with a monster-" Spike said as he casually walked into Babs line of sight, "-without seeing what it was before it was one." Spike smiled at Babs who gave him a once over.

"You look like you belong in a Hentai and the fact that you 'like me' disturbs me greatly."

"That is a fair reply to my statement," Spike responded as Scootaloo landed next to him.

"Sup Babs." Scootaloo waved "I've gone all freaky-deaky."

"Hey, Scootaloo," Babs replied, judging if she could make a break for it, after a moment she decided not to test if the walking Hentai monster could turn violent if she ran from it and instead choose to stand her ground. "So, who's your new buddy?"

"I am Spike." Spike replied, "It use to be a pun on my appearance until I went over to the dark side."

"Oh, so your an evil hentai monster, calling to me from an alley?"

"You're making me sound like a rapist." Spike responded, he tapped his chin, he smiled never waving "You know...I'm not sure if I am one." He responded, "Haven't really tried it since I went crazy evil, Maybe I should." Babs took a step back and Spike's arms and all his tentacles shot up. "Not on you!" he added, "We're trying to recruit you here, rape seems like a terrible way to go about that."

"Alright this is starting to go to a really freaky place that I don't wanna think about, so anyway Babs." Scootaloo raised her hand up in a handshake like fashion "What say you? Wanna join the dark side? Applebloom's already joined." Babs stood in silence at this.

"Come on." Spike cheered "Come to the dark side, we have cookies."

"You need to shut up" The voice cut in "Listen, Babs, I can't say I've studied you as much as I studied the other 4, but I know that just like them there is something in this world you can't stand, something you hate beyond belief."

"Sure everpony has at least one thing that can't stand, but that doesn't mean I'm just gonna come skipping over to the dark side." as she said this Babs began slowly backing up, as soon as she blinked she knew she wasn't getting away, as soon as she has closed and reopened her eyes Spike had vanished and at that same moment she'd felt something moist and squishy behind her, she looked up and Spike smiled down at her, before she could react the tentacles on his back shot out and wrapped her up. "Get off of me!" she shouted as loudly as she could.

"Oh calm down, we're just gonna..." Scootaloo started when a whistle split the air and a unicorn officer made his presence known.

"Nopony or creature move!" She shouted, Spike, turned and waved at him.

"Morning Pig pony." He said joyfully "I suggest you leave, what's happening down here is out of your pay grade." The Officer stood his ground and charged his horn.

"You have till the count of three to put the girl down and get on your knees."

"um, Officer guy." Babs said, "I don't think this is something you can deal with." The Officer ignored her and stared hard back and forth between Spike and Scootaloo.

"One!" He called out loudly.

"Oh man, shit just intensified up in here!" Spike said, squeezing Babs tightly "I wonder, what do you think-"

"Two!" He continued.

"-is going on here?" Spike asked, not caring about the count. Scootaloo was standing to the side with a bored look on her face.

"Three!" The officer fired his spell and it proceeded to die the second it hit Spike.

"Ta-da, your magic proof." The voice said simply. "as for you Scootaloo-" She took a few steps until she was staring the now shaking officer down, he had pulled his baton out shakily as she smiled at him, at an impossible Speed, Scootaloo struck down and with a crunch and a scream she sunk her teeth into the Officers neck, He screamed and struggled, waving his arm's frantically as he tried to beat her off, Scootaloo just stood there and let her venom flow into his veins for a moment before unlatching and backing up. The officer held his neck as he gasped for air, falling to his knees as his eye's clouded over and foam bubbled around his mouth. Babs watched in silence as the colt scratched hopelessly at the ground before fall still.

"We'll dam Scootaloo good job killing some random smoe." Spike said with a chuckled before kicking the body "So what say thee, Babs?" He asked looking at the horrified mare in his tentacles. "Either join us, Or I might take your advise and see just how long a pony can survive being penetrated in every way with my Tentacles." he pulled her close, his eye's sparkling in an unpleasant way as he whispered in her ear "And just in case I'm not being clear, you'll be my test subject."

"I'm in!" Babs shouted back, shaking heavily in Spike's grasp. "I'll do whatever you want, just please don't hurt me." Spike dropped her and she backed away into the wall opposite of the officer and sat there shaking as the two looked down at her and the three felt a strong wind blowing threw with no noise, Scootaloo flew into the air and Spike slid out of existence via the many puddles on the ground, Babs shakily got up as the wind got harder, she heard a crackling sound and looked up at the thunderstorm that had appeared out of nowhere, Babs fell to her knees as she looked at it, the clouds twisted down to in a flash she was sucked into it, Spike and Scootaloo watched as the Twister sparked with electricity before blasting away, Babs was now a dark yellow color, her man was now spiked and darker in color. her fingers now ended in talon-like claws, she now had serrated teeth. her freckles were all sparking slightly as she stood to her full height, then with a small gust of wind Two Large wings made their presence know on her back as she extended them.

"Oh hell yeah!" Scootaloo called down, Babs looked up at her and smiled with a wave. "Come on up here!" Scootaloo called, Bab's gave her wings a test flap before joining her friend.

"So where are these cookies?" Babs asked.

"Welcome to the Dark side, we lied about the cookies," Scootaloo responded with a laugh.

"Alright, then where's old tentacle face," Babs demanded looking around.

"I am down here," Spike responded for the alley when a loud crack hit their ears the trio looked up as the thunderstorm burst. the two winged friends landed on the top of a building, an odd sound hit their ears and they turned as Spike used his tentacled to climb up and join them. Babs walked over to him and stared him in the eyes.

"Nice Rape threats." She said bluntly "Tho I bet your to chicken to actually do something like that."

"Oh?" Spike asked, "You wanna test that?" He asked raising his back tentacles "Casue where gonna be sleeping in the same area." Babs turned from him and waved him off.

"Your just to chicken to do something like that." Spike squinted at her before blinking.

"What the fuck was that?" He asked

"I Think she likes you." The Voice responded, "It a weirdly fucked up way I guess."

"Yo Spike." Scootaloo called getting his attention, "Bucket time." Spike looked up and smiled.

"Naw, you two enjoy your flight, I'm taking the scenic route." Spike held up his arm and flashed two peace signs before falling back and dissipating in the rain.

"That guy's such a weird son of a bitch," Scootaloo said as she put the bucket under her shoulder.

"Yeah." Babs agreed with a smile "But just think of all the freaky shit he can do with those tentacles."

"Ack!" Scootaloo spat back "That's disgusting Babs." She opened her wings and took to the sky.

"Oh you can murder some random pony and it's fine, but I talk about some Kinky shit and suddenly there's a line to be crossed!?" Babs shot back as she took to the air and followed her friend to the appointed meeting area.
