"That's right Daniel, I've returned."

Standing at the door, was a dragon. But he was different. Part's of his body were covered in metal plating, with one of his eye's covered by a red light. He was carrying a gun, and two bags.

Then, Rarity ran over to the dragon, and hugged him, while crying tears of joy.

"Oh Spikey-Wikey, you're back!" Rarity wailed cheerfully

"Yes my dear, I'm back," Spike said

"Spike, what happened to you? And what do you mean it was not a nuclear bomb?" Daniel askes

Spike sighed, and looked at everyone.

"I tell you what happened, so gather around everyone, because this is what I had to endure," Spike said, as everyone came around him.

"Alright, this is what happened..."

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

A month ago

Spike starts to wake up, only to find himself strapped to a lifting table

"WHAT THE FUCK?? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE???" Spike screamed, as he struggled to escape from the table. Then, the door opened and Darren Jr entered.

"Well, it's about time you woke up. I was beginning to think you were dead," Darren Jr said

Spike looked at Darren Jr with so much hatred that it could burn a person's soul, but Dexter Jr didn't even flinch.

"YOU!! YOU DID THIS!!! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!!!!" Spike screamed, as he struggled to get out.

"Don't even bother. There is no chance for you to escape. Now, normally I would have you killed, but, you're too much of prize to be slaughtered. So I had you sent to this laboratory."

Spike looked at Darren Jr

"Why? Why did you spare me?"

"Let's just say you have an old friend who wants to see you again."

"Who?!" Spike asked

"It's better for you to see. Come on in."

As soon as he said to come in, a male green unicorn came into the room. He had yellow mane and tail, was wearing glasses and a lab coat, and his cutie mark was a yellow claw. Spike soon went into fear and confusion.

"No. It can't be. It's impossible!!" Spike yelled

"That's right dragon, I'm back," the unicorn said

"How are you back, Professor Felhand? How?!" Spike yelled

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Everyone suddenly had a look of horror on their faces

"Professor Felhand's back! That's impossible, I had him sentenced to life imprisonment in Tartarus without parole!" Twilight exclaimed

"Well, it turns out that Darren Jr had used a sacrifice to bring Felhand back from Tartarus. Felhand has pledged his support and cooperation to him." Spike said

Everyone was silent. Spike then continued.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

"Why are you here? I thought Twilight banished you to Tartarus," Spike said

"Oh you pathetic dragon. I came back with some help," Felhand said

Spike looked at Darren Jr

"You! How could you bring him back? He caused the death's of several hundred thousand prisoners because of his experiments," Spike said

"I've heard about his experiments from a file that the late Kiser Bernard attempted to deliver, before that tyrant Queen Twilight had him killed."

Spike nearly gave it away that he was one of those involved in the assassination with a look of fear, but neither Darren Jr nor Felhand noticed. He then looked at Felhand again.

"What were your reasons for joining a heartless bastard like him?" Spike asked

"He offered to help me dispose of the traitor Majesty Blueblood and make me King of Unicornia," Felhand said

"And in return, Felhand will help me in making Equestria an official colony of the ITPF, minus Unicornia of course."

Spike looked at them with hatred

"You'll never get away with this, mark my word's."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Now then, I'll leave you with your old friend to reconnect. Professor, do what you want with Spike," Darren Jr said, as he left the room

"Now then, let's get started, shall we?" Felhand said, as he pulled out a series of scientific equipment, watching as Spike looked hopeless to stop whatever hell that Felhand was going to do.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Everyone was shocked. Daniel was full of anger.

"THAT NO GOOD MOTHERFUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!" Daniel yelled, frighting everyone in the room.

"That fucker had to bring back one of Equestria's hated figures just to advance his own agenda," Daniel said

Fluttershy went over to Daniel and hugged him, calming him down. He smiled

"Thanks Fluttershy," Daniel said. He then looked at Spike

"And then what happened?" Daniel asked

Spike had a look of sadness and terror on his face

"What Felhand did to me in the month I was held captive, I just wish I could forget," Spike said

Everyone looked at Spike

"Felhand wanted to create a living cyborg, and he decided I was the perfect candidate for the job. For a month, he tortured me, cutting out parts of my limbs, replacing parts of my limbs with bionic parts, gouging my left eye out and replacing it with a bionic eye, all while I'm still conscious. The pain was horrible, to the point I thought I was going to die," Spike said

Everyone was shocked and horrified by what Spike had to through. Spike then continued

"But I never gave up, and that was when it happened...."

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Half an hour ago

Spike was under restraints, with half of his body now replaced with metallic parts, slipping in and out of conscious. There was blood on the floor and on the table. The door opened and Professor Felhand appeared, levitating a unknown device. Spike woke up and gave Felhand a look of hatred.

"What do you want? Here to cause me more pain?"

"No, I'm here to install my mind-control device. As soon as you're under our control, your first task will be to capture Daniel Sr and take him to Darren Jr."

"There's no way I'll do that!" Spike yelled

"Unfortunately, you won't have a choice once the device is installed. Once you become our soldier, that purple harlot and her minions will be brought down, and I will have new specimens to experiment on," Felhand said, as he began to move the device near Spike's chest

Spike began to struggle even more, but he still couldn't get out. He watched in horror as the device got closer to his chest. Just mere inches from his chest, the intercom went to life.

"Professor Felhand, the President of the SNU requests to meet you in Darringrad, immediately," the intercom said

"At this time? Ah well, I suppose this can wait. I'll be back later dragon. See you soon," Felhand said, as he placed the device on a nearby table and left. A few seconds later, a human guard carrying a weapon came into the room.

Spike didn't know what to do. As soon as Felhand came back, he would be under his control. Then, he began seeing nightmares about his friends, particularly his adoptive mother Twilight and his wife Rarity. Their cries of pain while being tortured by Felhand and Darren Jr caused Spike to wake up in rage.

His right eye then began to glow pure devilish red and after more attempts, he was finally free from his restraints. Before he could raise the alarm, the guard's neck was suddenly twisted and he was dead. Spike picked up the guard's weapon and armed himself.

He opened the door and left the room. He had to get out of the laboratory and head back to Canterlot to warn everypony about this latest development.

Along the way, he took out another guard and took an access card. He found a nearby room and used the card to get inside. When he went inside, he was shocked to see what was in the room.

Inside, there were hundreds of thousands of weapons, and bombs on one side, and on the other side, possibly more then five thousand types of drugs. Spike then realised that this facility was a mix of research and weapons development. He had to find a way to destroy this place.

He found the plans for secret prototype weapons and for current weapons. He realised that these weapons could replace the obsolete bolt-action rifles the ponies had. He then found the schematics for a 3-D printer. He grabbed two bags, grabbed the plans and documents, and took some of the medications.

Next, he grabbed some C4 and planted several of them underneath the bombs. He hoped that it would be enough to destroy the facility. Just as he was leaving the room, the alarm rang, and Spike knew that the guards were on their way.

"Well then, let's get down to business," Spike said, as he went to confront the enemy.

He soon ran into a hallway, as several guards arrived and fired at Spike, who ducked for cover. He then opened fire, and thanks to his bionic eye, he was able to clear the hallway in a minute. He then found a map, and he found where the docks were. He went to the docks, encountering and clearing out any enemys he encountered.

He soon arrived at the docks and boarded a boat. He hotwired the boat and was soon on his way back to Canterlot. Once he was at a distance, he pulled out a detonater and pressed the button, watching as the building explode from within, destroying all the weapons and durgs residing there. After that, Spike continued to make his way toward the coast.

He arrived at the coast and went through Hayseed Swamp, always checking his surroundings, before he finally made it to Dodge City, where he told everypony about the situation, and that he had to get to Canterlot. He got on a train and he was on his way to Canterlot.

---oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

Everyone was speechless.

"Wow Spike, I had no idea that you had to go through that, and I can't believe you blew up the facility," Daniel said

"Yeah. But the good thing was that I was able to steal documents and several plans for prototype and current weapons, and for a 3-D printer," Spike said, as he laid the two bags down.

"That's good. We'll need to modernise the entire armory," Daniel said

--oooOoOoOOOoOoOooo---

In Manehattan/Darringrad

Darren Jr was with the President of the SNU meeting with Professor Felhand when word came in about the destruction of the facility on the former Trottingham. Darren Jr was most displeased.

"Without that facility, our plans have suffered a major setback."

"Not necessarily Mr. Medkos. The backups are at my secret base underneath this city, we will eliminate the enemy, in time," Felhand said

"At this rate, the situation is getting worse," the SNU President said

"I guess I have no choice. It's time to call in the elite of the elites."

"Who?" Felhand asked

"You'll see soon enough. You'll see. They all will see."

Author's Note

Professor Felhand is back! And Spike is now a cyborg. But thanks to him, the ponies now have a fighting chance. What will the ponies do next? Who is the elite of the elites that Darren Jr mentioned? Find out soon on the next chapter.
