The Prelude to a Battle

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

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."
