The Anti-6

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,"
