Rewrite the Stars

As soon as Garble presented Rachel, Spike took to the skies once more.”Give her back!!” He roared at the larger dragon, flying towards them in an attempt to reach her.

Garble flew out of Spike’s path and began to squeeze more pressure on the human’s neck. Once Spike saw that, he backed off and Garble loosened his hold, just enough for Rachel to breathe but still cutting a lot of oxygen from her.

“I never understood why you decided to bed with a human. Her kind nearly drove ours to extinction.” Garble hissed, glaring at Rachel with disgust.

“Whatever you have against me, Garble, don’t take it out of her, I’m right here!” Spike shouted before looking at Rachel. “E-everything’s gonna be okay.” He tried to assure her but it wasn’t looking good.

He was so scared for her in this situation. Garble was in control of this, having the upper hand literally in his grasp.

If he could just get Rachel out of there, then he’ll make sure Garble doesn’t lay another hand on her or anypony ever again!

Garble then mocked him. “Everything’s gonna be okay. Oh gross, I don’t know what made you choose her as a mate?” He waved Rachel in his hand, her legs helplessly dangled, causing the human even more discomfort. “What a fucking disgrace. Guess it’s what you get for being raised by weakass ponies.”

“Garble, hand her over, she has nothing to do with us.” Spike was trying to stay calm but in actuality, he was freaking out. If he tries to use his magic, he knows that Rachel will get hurt.

However this ever sinking feeling he was feeling was only getting worse.

His words fell on deaf ears as Garble continued. “And I have absolutely no idea why your pony prince wants her, I was supposed to bring her back… But I have other ideas.” He hissed, motioning the broken arrow still lodged in his eye.

Blueblood?!? Alarms were heavily going off in Spike.

Of course it made so much sense! Why the White Mantle was so persistent on taking her, that pompous soon-to-be dead sonuvabitch caused all of this!

Garble glares at Spike. “You got me banished from my home… Now I’m gonna destroy yours.”He holds Rachel close. “Starting with her.”

He suddenly turns and throws Rachel as hard as he could and she goes flying.

Rachel spirals out of control, though her voice sounded hoarse and in pain from behind grabbed by the throat, she screams out “Seroku Vilask!”

Just as soon as the red barrier shield covered her, next thing Rachel saw was a massive ball of fire that engulfs her and everything went black.

All hell breaks loose.

Spike sees nothing but this massive fireball falling from the sky and hurling towards the ground at an alarming rate.

“NOOOOOO!” Spike screams before he charges after Rachel at full frantic speed. Garble was not even in the forefront of his mind as he automatically went after his mate.

However, Garble reminded the smaller dragon by grabbing Spike’s wings when he flew by and threw him in the opposite direction, causing him to spin out.

It took a moment for Spike to correct himself and flew around Garble and speed up his flight.

Garble took no time to fly after Spike and grabbed the purple dragon and forced him back. Spike moved again but each movement he went to get to Rachel, Garble blocked his every path.

“FUCK OFF!” He roars at Garble, punching him in the face before flying after Rachel again.

Garble quickly grabbed his shoulders, forcing Spike back once more. He quickly took a few shots across Spike’s face before wrapping his arms around his waist and pushing him with all his strength and speed.

Spike tried to break free but Garble wouldn’t budge.

Not until one of the hilly mountains that surrounded Ponyville came to view. With a grin, Garble lets go of Spike and gives him a harsh kick.

That kick sends Spike into one of the mountains, creating a large dent upon impact..

Disorientated, Spike feebly manages to push himself out…

Just in time to hear one loud THUD.

Spike raises his head up, he sees in the distance where Rachel was thrown, large black smoke bellowed. His heart completely shatters. “No….no no no.” He whispered, attempting to stand up but his legs gave out from underneath him and he fell onto his knees. Tears streaked his face as he gazed out in pure horror.

His mind attempted to convince him that she would be okay, but he would be a bloody fool because at this height and being set on fire and the speed she was going at…

There would be no chance for her to survive. No chance at all…

Rachel was gone.

Garble meanwhile, found it so hilarious that he was laughing at Spike. “Some hero you are!” he cackled in response.

His taunts and wicked laugh rang in Spike’s ears as his mind began collectively showing him every moment he spent with his mate. Just either of them chilling and hanging out, frequent flights around, helping her with her art to casually just seeing her sitting down and reading a book. The many times they made love, everything they did in the past eight short months and everything that they could’ve done were all gone within a blink of an eye.

CRACK!!

Ember was now in the throne room, contemplating on how she should handle this delicate position. Her hand having the staff in a death like vice.

After feeling draconic magic being drawn from the staff remotely, Ember had a bad feeling. She was about to call for her adviser to keep an eye on things so she could go to Ponyville and have a word with a certain purple dragon, when all of the sudden the staff lit up once more.

And this time, it was a major doozy.

“Okay, not good, not good!” She yelped as she held onto the staff. It lit up with so much draconic magic that it felt overwhelming to her.

As if it was being called, the staff started dragging the larger blue female dragon across the threshold. “Just where you think you’re going!?” She shouts at it, standing her ground and pulls back on the staff.

This force and Ember had a hard tug of war match for a few seconds, energy began building up more and more before the staff shot a concentrated blast of magic up and through the ceiling and out in the open.

Not even two seconds later, she hears, “Dragonlord Ember! We have a situation!” one of the guards shouted.

Her and the guard quickly ran outside, by the time they got there, the wind was picking up as if a massive storm was happening. When Ember looked up at the sky, she let out a loud gasp.

Dark green clouds were covering the skies, lightning was striking all over the place. Anyone could see that this was not a normal storm.

And Ember looked as white as a ghost. “Oooooh whoever pissed him off is so fucked….” she whispered in fear.

Magic began to swell within the dragon as the skies turned green all around them. The same nagging feeling he felt when Bouncer and his brothers assaulted Rachel came back, but unlike before when he had tried to ignore it before he went off on them, this time there was no hesitation.

He slowly looks up at the red dragon, hearing his goddamned laughter echoing like a cackling witch. Acting so damn proud with what he has done. What he has done to his beloved.

More of the green dragon magic consumes Spike before he couldn't take the laughter anymore!

He let out one of the loudest, colossal size, ear ringing roar that shook all around him.

Garble stops laughing when he suddenly hears the roar. His eyes looked back down at Spike and was visibly taken back.

Because Spike was becoming much bigger than he usually was with dragon magic emerging out from him. His muscles, wings, everything grew two times more in size. The roar soon turned to feral snarling before launching up.

With one punch in the chest, Spike sends Garble tailspinning, a shockwave sends out on contact.

Before Garble was even able to correct himself, Spike came at again in great speed and force strikes him again, and again, attacking from all sides. The body armor Garble wore completely shattered. Each hit felt like getting hit by ten thousand pound weights, shockwaves from each punch echoed.

Spike then flies back as lightning struck him, instead of knocking him down, it was giving Spike more power. He threw his hands out towards the red dragon and his magic shot out.

Large balls of fire and rock began raining down from the skies, all of them solely concentrating on Garble.

Garble tried to compose himself before he sees this. He goes to dodge before realizing that they were all targeting him!

He ducked and swerved before he was hit. Though the rocks shattered upon impact, the flames stayed.

At first, Garble thought he was able to withstand the fire since dragons were essentially fireproof. But as the flames linger, Garble realizes something very quick.

This sheering burning sensation seemed to grow more and more until it felt unbearable to withstand.

Oh shit!

Oh Shit!!!

Holy fucking hell it hurts it hurts!

Garble tried to hastely pat them out before he was hit with more fire and rock.

As he dealt with that, Spike dived on him, slamming both his fists down on him with a shout. Sending Garble straight down to the ground.

Meanwhile, after witnessing that horrible event, the sexling twins and Brimstone were running and flying on their moth-like fluffy wings as fast as they could, going through the forest.

"Where the hell is she!?" Gemcity asked hysterically.

"I don't know! I don't know!" Ruby, equally in a fit of hysteria. Looking for their friend. Brimstone wasn't speaking or else he was going to break down as well.

They saw what direction Rachel was thrown at and they were going straight for it nonstop.

The closer they got, they all seen the destruction the trees and fallen bush gave from upon impact. There were fire spots all around them, making their stomachs turn and collectively frightened to see what they were going to find.

When they came upon this large crater, they noticed that the color of the fire gradually shifted from Garble's fire - which was the traditional orange and yellow flame, to this bright blue and white flames.

The trio looked down at the crater, the girls hugged each other and they were bawling as Brimstone slid down there to get a better look.

When Garble landed, he landed hard. Landed in the middle of Ponyville, though the flames were now dispersed out on the grass, Garble was still in intense pain.

The flames were so intense, a lot of his scales literally burned off and the pink flesh underneath was charred black. He goes to fly but he quickly learns that was not going to happen...or ever again.

That fire was so intense, his wings reduced to the talons, the membrane that that wove between them was completely gone.

Mortified, he snarled and got up, only to have Spike land. When he landed, Spike landed on all fours. His eyes were glowing, hissing and growling feral like. Look of murder was in his eyes.

Not wanting to submit, Garble also got on all fours, challenging him once more.

The two circled around each other in a stand-off. Snarling and snapping their jaws at each other before Spike lunged at him.

Teeth, claws, devolved into the very beasts they were, the ferocious battle led on with one thing on their minds. Relentless with their attacks but the fight was quickly over.

Spike pinned Garble down, straddling across his chest, he began slamming his fists repeatedly into the red dragon's face. Garble tried to throw him off but he was unable.

Bones crunched beneath him, blood splattered, Spike did not let up on the assault, using every strength he got. He continued even when he felt the skull caved in, ultimately reducing half of it into a gorey liquid mess that would require a closed casket.

Once he was satisfied that the bastard was dead, Spike sat up and let out a somber but victorious roar.

As he roared, the magic he has used receded back to where it came from, the clouds dispersing and he shrunk back down to his normal size once more.

When it was over, he heard and smelled another pony approaching him from behind.

"S-spike?" He hears Twilight's shaky voice called out to him.

He slowly turned around, and saw all the color drained from her face when she saw the menacing, murderous look on Spike's face. Him covered in blood, his eyes glowing.

She didn't recognize him at all.

Before anything else was said, Spike takes off with a single flap of his wings. Leaving a now frightened Twilight and a dead dragon alone in the middle of the town.

He flew straight towards the direction where his mate was thrown. He didn't care how it would change the relationship he had with the Princess of Friendship, she wasn't his priority, not anymore. Spike flew as fast as he could before landing at a clearing and ran through the forest when he got closer.

He ran and ran until he sees Ruby and Gemcity and came to a halt. Both of them were in each other's arms and were crying near the crater.

Spike shook as his emotions washed over him. The fear of what he'll find of his beloved mate. The~

"We need to get her back to the settlement!" Brimstone shouted from inside the crater.

"What?!" The twins shouted in surprise.

Spike raced to the edge of the crater, nearly pushing the girls out the way.

He gasped out loud on what he saw.

Brimstone had Rachel in his arms, but instead of burnt skin… all he saw was golden scales and heard raspy breathing coming from the girl.

She was still alive..
