Rarity scrambled up to her hooves as she shuffled away from Spike. Seeing the dragon lingering over her in the kitchen.

Her hand gripped at her chest as she looked up at him.

"S-spike, how did you get in here?" Her voice trembled as Rarity saw this look on his face.

"What's wrong Rares? Thought you'd be glad to see me." Spike growled as he stalked closer towards the white unicorn. Steam was coming off of him, causing the area of the kitchen to increase the temperature.

The potion brewing on the stove was starting to boil over. liquid hitting the burner and was starting to smoke. The smell was unbearable. However, Spike wasn't focused on that.

His focus was on Rarity.

Rarity continued to back away from him. Though her thoughts were on him, she knew he was out for blood.

"I-I-I-If I knew you were coming. I-I w-would've freshened up." Rarity's teeth chattered as she moved. Her eyes shifted from him to that pot boiling over. "What c-can I do for you?"

"Oh, you've done enough." He shoved a chair out of his way as he came up to her. "I know what you did, and you're going to pay." Backing her up to a corner.

"Spike, darling, I-I don't have the faintest clue of what you're saying." Rarity lied.

Big mistake.

Spike's hand shot at her, grabbing her by the throat, slammed her against the wall and lifted her up off the ground. Her hooves were not even touching the ground.

"Spike!" Rarity croaked out, grabbing his wrist but unable to have him let go.

"No more games! I warned you if you had hurt Rachel or done anything to our relationship that it's not going to end well for you!" He snarled.

All this pent up rage, all this anger he felt since the barn, Garble, Blueblood's attempts were coming to the surface.

"You poisoned my bride and I and others. You're coming with me."

Rarity gasped. "Bride?? Y-you're marrying that thing?!"

Another mistake.

With a loud growl, Spike slammed his fist into that so-called pretty face of hers a couple of times before throwing her across the kitchen into the boutique room. Colliding into her mannequins.

Rarity was screaming as she received each blow, blood spewing from her nose and mouth, feeling the skin splitting on her cheek before being thrown.

She groaned and whimpered as she attempted to push herself up off the ground, pushing the mannequins off of her as she heard Spike coming in. Her face was already bloodied and bruised.

Once she saw him, she trampled on the mannequins as she tried to get away from him.

She tried to get to the stairs before Spike pounced. He bounces off the wall and lands quickly in front of her, blocking her path as he lands on all fours. Hissing and snarling at her as he stalked the white unicorn like prey.

“Don’t ever insult her again.” Spike snarled, smoke seeped from his mouth as a green glow emerged from his throat. Tasting sulfur on his tongue when getting ready to breathe fire.

Rarity ended up tripping on the rug and she fell backwards, causing her to yelp but continued scooting back, trying to get away from him. She wanted Spike but not like this!

Maybe…maybe there’s still a way!

Just when Spike was going to pounce on Rarity, Rarity used her magic, her horn lighting up and throwing him in a corner and putting a barrier around him.

He let out an angry roar as he then tried to get himself out of there, hitting the wall with his hands. The magic around him started crackling. Rarity was not a powerful unicorn, she does not possess the prowess or power to keep the wall up against Spike.

“RARITY!” Spike shouted as he continued to try and break down the magic.

Rarity yelped before quickly levitating both a funnel and the pot of the botched potion from the kitchen. “Now Spike, everything is going to be alright!” She promised as she quickly shoved the funnel between his lips, forcing his head up and pouring the whole contents in the pot down his throat.

The taste was awful, there was a severe burning sensation down his throat as the liquids were forced into him. Spike growled and muffled as he gripped onto the funnel with one hand to pull and tried to shove the pot out of the way with the other. He ultimately ended up breathing fire, the blast shattered the barrier and destroyed the pot and funnel, but the potion contents were in him.

He dropped to his hands and knees and began to haphazardly cough, gripping onto his throat as he felt something happening. His desire was increasing…but it wasn’t the desire he was experiencing. This new wave of intense anger washes over him as his pupils dilated, his body began to tense up and felt like his muscles were bulging.

"What's… Happening?!" Spike cried out as his body was wrecked with pain, adrenaline constantly pumping and his heartbeat was racing near dangerous levels. He turned to Rarity, all he saw was red.

"What did you do?!" Spike called out as he felt his body was changing. This anger, this rage, he couldn't control it.

His desire at that moment wasn't of the love of his life, there was no lust, but an unquenchable thirst of rage towards an individual.

Rarity looked on in horror as she saw him changing… Seeing him grow.

She let out a shrill scream before being tackled to the ground.

The beast was awakened.

Meanwhile, Rachel was staring at the girls as the nail tech pony worked on Rachel's other hand.

"Ladies, where's Spike?" Rachel asked Twilight, Starlight and Applejack.

"He's running to pick up some snacks, he'll be back." Twilight lied, trying to smile and act normal but chuckled nervously. Her wings fluttered a bit.

As she said that, a server pony came in with some snacks for the ladies and a large bowl of gems, thus Rachel giving Twilight a deadpan look.

She then looked at the other two. “Do you two want to try and give me an explanation?”

What was so hard to say where Spike went.

“He’s just out running to get a few things, he’ll be right back.” Starlight said, at least her lie was a half truth, he was going to get something.

“Uh huh….” Rachel grunted as the pony finished painting her nails.

“Well, while we’re waiting then, why don’t you guys get all relaxed.” One of the spa ponies suggested as they went up to the three and ushered them to change into robes.

As the nail pony tech walked away along with the masseuse pony, another one came up with a hair kit set and began to brush Rachel’s hair, prompting her to try and enjoy herself.

After a few minutes however, she couldn’t help but feel unsettled about something, the feeling would grow and grow until her feet started jerking with a certain level of anxiety.

“Are you going somewhere?” Rainbow Dash asked as she sat up from the massage table to put on her robe, noting Rachel’s wiggly feet.

“Just…got this sense something’s off.” Rachel muttered. “It's probably nothing.” She said, trying to wave it off and relax.

However, relaxing isn’t what she gets.

After twenty minutes have past, Rachel quickly reaches over to the side table and grabs her phone. When she saw no text messages were there, she began calling him up.

After several rings it went to voicemail.

Hey this is Spike, leave a message and I’ll get back to you. The recording of Spike said before an audible beep was heard.

“What’s got into you? I’m sure he’s fine.” Twilight said as she removed the skirt she was wearing.

“No…no, something is wrong.” Rachel said, her heart was racing.

Twilight stopped changing for a moment and looked at her closely. Noting she was displaying similar reactions to how Spike gets when something was wrong with her… That made her very uneasy as well.

After calling twice with no success, Rachel shook her head before looking at the three ponies that came in. “Okay you three, you guys better tell me where Spike went.” She said with a bit of a panic in her voice.

“Why are you freaking out all of the sudden? Spike’s a big boy, he can handle himself.” Pinkie Pie said as she dropped her towel to walk over to the hot tub.

“I-i-i-i can’t explain it but I just sense something is wrong, very very wrong.” Rachel said as she tried to call him once more.

“It’s probably the connection you and Spike have. I do know that when dragons have mates, they have this weird connection, always sensing if one is in danger or something.” Starlight said, but then frowning. What little she knew of the dragon culture from Ember…

If that was true, then something bad must be really happening if Rachel was able to sense it.

Applejack couldn’t take it anymore and sighed. “Guys, we have to tell her, this is just killing me.”

Rachel turned her gaze at Applejack. “Tell me what?”

“Oh this is not gonna be good,” Starlight muttered.

“What’s going on?” Fluttershy asked, watching them all.

“Spike is getting Rarity.” Applejack admits. “Apparently…it was Rarity that caused the two of you to go crazy in the barn.”

“WHAT?!” Fluttershy, RD and Pinkie Pie yelped.

Once again, the phone in Rachel’s hands was crushed, her draconic strength snapping it in half with ease. “Excuse me, but mind repeating that?”

"Rarity was the one that put you in the hospital during the barn incident." Applejack responded. "Used some sort of desire potion gone awry."

This inhumane snarl came from the girl, causing the hair pony to slowly back away from her. The robe Rachel wore was starting to smoke as holes began to burn and appear.

Before anyone else knew it, Rachel got up from her chair, grabbed it and threw across the room with a roar. "THAT FUCKING CUNT!"

The mane 6 girls yelped and jumped at Rachel's rage.

Rachel paced around, grabbing handfuls of her hair and a shout. "I'm done, I'm so fucking done with her!" She snarled before letting go and turned to the frightened ponies. "You girls wanna know what really went down that night on the cruise?"

She was so done playing nice with Rarity. She tried to turn the other cheek for what she did, she tried to be the bigger person for Spike. Tried to be friends despite how much Rarity couldn't stand her.

Twilight blinked. "The night you were attacked by Bouncer, Bob, and Sticks?"

"Eeyup! It turns out someone lured me into that boiler room under the pretext that I was meeting up Spike. That was Rarity's doing!” Rachel admits with a snarl.

“I fucking knew it!” Starlight growled.

While the others looked flabbergasted.

“Why would she do that?!” Twilight yelped.

“Because she hates the fact Spike is in love with me and not fawning over her!” Rachel explained. “She has hated me since the first fucking day we all met, when she saw that Spike actually finds someone who wouldn’t use him like some damn pincustion, she can’t stand it.” She then moved from where she was at to where her clothes were. She disrobes and begins to put her clothes back on in a haste.

Not only was she fueled with anger, this unsettling feeling she was feeling was too much to not ignore.

“Rachel, Rachel, now calm down! Spike will be here any minute.” Twilight said, trying to calm her down but it wasn’t working as she approached her.

“First off, don’t fucking tell me to calm down.” Rachel growled as she pulled the shirt over her head. The clothes she had gotten from her shopping spree with the twins. “Second, I can't. I gotta go get him, I can’t shake this feeling that something’s wrong and I’m not gonna sit around and do shit.” She grabbed her pants and tugged them on her.

“Spike can hand~”

“Something is wrong! I can feel it.” She snapped at the princess before looking at Applejack. “You said it was a desire potion right?”

“She did, but it was meant to increase desire for your hobbies, what Rarity did was increase the lust factor.” Twilight interjected. “You don’t think she’s gonna be that stupid enough to give him more of that. If she did then he’ll just come for you.”

“No, because his desire at this moment isn’t of me!” Rachel shouted. “Seriously, you guys have got to fucking stop seeing Spike as this baby you all knew. Dragons are very territorial, very protective of their mates and hordes. And when they are as pissed off as I know Spike is when he found out, the desire for me isn’t there. His desire is to cause pain and violence and make Rarity feel everything.”

She doesn’t fuck a dragon without learning a thing or two about their habits. Spike’s not excluded. “If Rarity gives Spike that potion while he’s in this state, that only increased that…and has anyone ever told you girls that desire and greed are VIRTUALLY THE SAME FUCKING THING TO DRAGONS!?”

And if Rachel knew Spike at all, she knew Spike would be hellbound to make anyone pay.

Once dressed, Rachel storms out of the spa area and takes off down the halls.

She has to get Spike. She has to get to him, that’s the only thing that was in her mind.

“Rachel, come back!” The girls then ran after her.

Rachel was not having it, her plan was to go to Ponyville, get Spike, beat the holy ever hell out of Rarity. But more importantly, hopefully making sure Spike was okay.

When Rachel bolted out the doors and stepped outside, she was met with a wall of black smoke that seemed to appear out of nowhere. The smoke quickly consumed her, causing Rachel to cough and stagger, the smoke entered her body and began to sway.

Rachel’s eyes rolled to the back of her head and she began to fall to the ground, only met with a pair of arms grabbing her shoulders and she leaned against something…

Or somepony.

Twilight and the girls ran out to try and catch up to Rachel, they all came to a screeching halt and the air escaped from their lips with a startling gasp.

King Sombra stood in the courtyard, in his arms was an unconscious Rachel. He gave Twilight Sparkle a mock bow before smoke consumed the two of them and they disappeared.

“Uh….was that who I think it was!??!” Rainbow Dash gulped.

“Oh no…” Twilight whispered.

Sounds of bones crunching and teeth tearing into the flesh and meat, barely able to fit inside the cramped boutique, this massive beast was enjoying its meal.

The body of the Element of Generosity lay motionless as her inners were being eaten. Chest cavity and stomach ripped open, blood and guts exposed.

As the beast was devouring Rarity, something caused him to stop and slowly turn his neck around and let out a low hiss. Green eyes glowing brightly in the dark before forcing himself to stand up, when he stood, he burst through the multiple floors, breaking through the ceiling, standing roughly fifty feet tall.

Spike let out a loud, colossal roar before his huge massive wings flapped and took off into the sky, destroying the boutique completely. Flew up into the clouds before flying off in a direction, shooting fire from his mouth, setting what was his home for many years up in a blaze.
