Rewrite the Stars

As Spike, Brimstone, and security came towards the room, this was what they heard:

Besides the sound of Rachel having a massive freak out, they heard the twins.

"What the hell did I just tell you?!" Ruby shouts at her twin..

"I was checking out my makeup and she caught a glimpse and demanded to see! I'm sorry but you know how persistent she can get!" Gemcity shouts back but also knows that she's in big trouble.

When Spike and the others get to the room, he sees Ruby harshly holding her twin's arm, a shattered compact mirror lay on the ground, the sheet that covered the two way mirror a moment ago was down and Rachel was in the corner of the room.

She had scrambled out of the bed and pressed herself against the wall sitting on the ground, shielding her face away from everyone. "W-what the fuck is going on?!" She shrieked. Her whole body was shaking, frightened of what was going on. Scared, confused.

Spike took a step towards her before Brimstone stopped him. "Wait." The stallion said before he went over to her. Motioning the guards to leave as he approached her slowly and they did so.

"Rachel, listen, i~"

"Stay back!" Rachel shouted, not wanting anyone to get near her. Hyperventilating and having a full on anxiety attack.

Brimstone knelt down to her. "Child, please breathe, you're back at the Settlement," he worked on getting her to calm down. "There was an incident, but you're okay, you're safe now."

It took a moment but he managed to get her to breathe properly. Placing his hands on hers and lowering them though she did show resistance at first.

Ruby took the liberty to cover up the wall again, reinforcing the tacks to make sure Rachel didn't have to see herself again with her magic.

As Rachel was trying to calm down, she looked around before her eyes landed on Spike.

"Spike…" She whispered softly, prompting the dragon to approach her, kneeling down to her.

"See, everyone's here," Brimstone said, seeing her move from him and wrapped her arms around her mate.

Spike felt himself tearing up as he held Rachel. He could feel her still violently shaken up.

"W-what happened?" She asked them again in a shaky voice. "What's happening to me???"

"What do you remember?" Spike asked her, holding her close and trying his best to soothe her without having a complete breakdown and it was a losing battle. He was so happy to see her up and awake.

Rachel was quiet when she tried to remember the last thing before waking up. "W-we were back at the Friendship castle...playing OnO with Discord, RD, Pinkie Pie and Big Mac…. standing in front of some pillar…"

Brimstone nodded. "Memory loss is typical when suffering severe trauma. Not remembering the initial impact. "

Spike then helped his mate back up on her feet. Her legs weren't used to her new weight and lost balance and had to hold on to him as he helped her back to the bed.

Everyone then had to calmly explain what happened, what her situation was, why she was back at the Settlement, her turning into a dragon because of The Crystal Heart she touched. Basically giving her cliff note version of the events. Rachel had an array of emotions of confusion, shocked, a little disbelief but seeing her body covered in scales and mouth full of fangs and still having this foul taste in her mouth changed that, to complete horror when she was told about the Siege.

What Garble had done to her.

"You've been unconscious for five days," Spike said softly after it was all explained. He had his hand on her shoulder, her leaning against him. "I…. We thought we lost you." He said, kissing her temple. Not even deterred from how she looked.

"Buut you're here now! And ow ow can I have my arm back?" Gemcity asked, looking at her sister who was still giving her the death glare.

"Ooh I will, after you get a lesson. I'll be telling Mother. "

Gemcity turned white. "Nonononono not Mama!"

The guys gave the younger twin a look before they heard a knock on the door.

"Sorry to interrupt," it was one of the doctors that was working on the Mother Cells. "Ah, she's awake." They said, looking at Rachel.

Brimstone coughs before speaking, "Yes, okay I know how excited this is, but I need you three," he motions to the twins and Spike, "to step out so my team and I can look over a few things now that Rachel is awake."

Rachel latched onto Spike. She shook her head, not wanting him to go.

"It's okay," Spike said, assuring her. "I gotta make a few calls anyway, I'll be back." He gave her a smile.

"You gonna call Twilight?" She asked.

She does remember that Twilight wanted to talk to him, hopefully to fix the mess the Princess caused.

Not knowing that the Princess of Friendship dug a deep, deep hole for herself a while ago.

Spike inhaled deeply and exhaled before saying "No, Twilight and I are not on good terms," he said. She was about to ask why but he rubbed her shoulders. "Don't worry about us, right now we're focusing on you. I do need to make some calls… want anything? "

Rachel stared at him for a moment before saying, "I'm really thirsty. "

She didn't get the water Ruby was supposed to get.

Spike nodded then getting up, not before he kissed her softly. He trembled a little bit, so glad he was able to do even the simplest thing as kissing her. "I'll be back." He said to her before he and the twins left.

They stepped outside as other doctors came in.

Spike glanced back at his mate one more time before the door was closed. The two way mirror was still covered so they couldn't see what's going on.

He sighed softly before going to the wall across the door and pulled out his phone again.

"Who you calling?" Gemcity asked as she was let go by Ruby.

"You'll see." Spike said.

He goes to his list of contacts, he sees that he has a lot of missed calls and messages. Some from Twilight before he yelled at her, some were from the other girls, and a lot of messages from Ember.

Speaking of which he felt his scales itch and glow from her calling him.

He snarled, "Okay, okay." Spike said annoyed before dialing her up. After a single ring she picked up.

"Now you picked up, asshole!" Ember growled loudly. "Who the fuck do you think you are for ignoring me?! And don't get me fucking started with you-"

"Fuck it Ember, I'm answering you now, aren't I?" Spike grunted, not really in the mood to be yelled at. He squeezed the bridge of his snout. "Listen, I know I used the staff's magic and I'll answer to whatever punishment you sicc at me, but right now, I need a favor, I'm gonna send you some coordinates and tell you everything when you get here. "

One hour later.

Ember stood outside of the facility, squeezing the bridge of her snout, breathing in very deeply. Her tail wrapped around the staff, trying to understand what Spike just asked of her. She stood the same height as Princess Celestia, also dwarfing the purple dragon. Wearing a small halter top to cover her breasts and pantaloons that don't cover her hips - her going out clothes, barefooted.

"So lemme get this straight," she said, lowering her hand. "Your human mate touched and absorbed pony magic-"

"Eeyup." Spike responded.

"Is turning into an actual dragon but is very unstable-"

"Yeah"

"And you want me to give her dragon magic to try and stabilize her and save her ass?"

"Pretty much."

She sucked air through her teeth and asked, "Are you insane??"

Yeah he knew that was coming. "Me wanting my mate to stay alive is making me insane then go ahead and throw me in the loony bin. " Spike said with a sigh.

Ember glared at him. "We don't know what will happen. With pony magic and dragon magic swirling in her, it might kill her all together. Rachel had proved herself but after the last time humans had our magic it didn't end well."

"Rachel's body is not reacting well to the pony magic. That's why I think if you give her dragon magic, replacing what was taken out, her transformation would go much faster and smoother cause it seems each time she gets hurt she changes more and there's so much her body can take before it gives out permanently." Spike said, scratching the back of his neck. "I don't know what else to do, but I'm not losing her."

"Uh huh," she grunted. The two dragons stared at each other before she rubbed her face. "Geez, this is a lot to ask for."

"If I could, I'd do it but I don't know how." Spike said with a grunt.

"Hmm, I could teach you since you used the damned staff remotely." She said sarcastically.

He growled at the female, baring his teeth at her. "What would you have me do? Let fucking Garble get away with what he did??"

Ember barked out a laugh, "Bitch please, I'd whoop your fucking ass if you didn't kill him. Garble crossed the line that is well known within our kind and the sentence was carried out accordingly. I'm just saying when we agreed for me to take the title Dragonlord, you don't touch the staff at all. It's hard to keep up appearances to others when you use it remotely. Next time that happens though, not only you will take the title back, you have to take the staff out of your rectum after I shove it up your fucking ass. " And that was a promise.

"So are you doing this or not?" He asked, flinging his arms up in emphasis.

"Lead me to her then, damnit." Ember grunted, taking the staff in her hands.

"Thank you." Spike said before he lead her into the facility.
