Spike found himself gasping as he woke up in his bed. He looked around the room and realized he was back in his old room, A slight groan as he tried getting up when he suddenly noticed something. Floating above him was his seed. He watched as his cum swirled in the air till finally, it vanished, but what replaced it was a simple note. Spike reached up to catch it. He felt his fingers wrapping around it, and the paper crumbled.

Spike looked at the page and began reading it.

One as pale as snow and heart in the right place but rare to find with such need

What could that even mean? Spike thought as he looked at it trying to figure out what Cadence might’ve expected. But He shook it off. Spike figured he’d figure it out eventually, but at that moment, he needed to see a certain Minotaur.

So Spike pulled himself up as he grabbed whatever clothes were laying around and just ran out of the camp, his hands fumbling through the sleeves. He rushed off, heading towards Pinkie pie’s tent as the note still clenched in his hands. He just kept thinking about Fluttershy, even forgetting all he did with Cadence. Sure he’d have that thought in the back of his head.

He eventually made it towards Pinkie pie’s tent, the cold morning air managing to give him a chill as he reached over almost swinging the door off its hinges, It somehow managed to catch Pinkie pie off guard as she jumped out of her bed calling out to the young man.

“Spike, what the hell?” Pinkie pie said as she covered herself up as she wasn’t wearing anything, the woman was a nude sleeper, but she didn’t want people walking in till she was finally dressed up.

“Sorry, Pinkie pie, just checking on Fluttershy; I hope I didn’t scare you.” He said trying to give a light smile, though Pinkie pie just looked at him in annoying scorn.

“No, it’s fine, just head down the stairs alright, I’ll visit you once I’ve gotten dressed.” She dropped her towel revealing her naked body exposing herself, But Spike nodded and walked down. But not before taking a quick peek. As he walked down the stairs. The creaking of the stairs filled the air as he moved down, heading down. Spike was feeling excited. No, he felt exhilarated, as soon he would find Fluttershy again, and she’d be in a much better state than she had been before.

Spike moved in closer as he finally got inside the bedroom, and there Spike saw her. Fluttershy was sitting on the bed bent over as she took long deep breaths. He felt a smile spread across his face. Walking inside so many thoughts when through his head as he tried finding the right words. Looking at her, she was more beautiful than he ever saw her. He even imagined she was more beautiful than Cadence as he got closer. Fluttershy finally took notice of him with a smile. She said with that cheerful voice.

“Spike, it’s great to see you.” She just had that smile. Though Spike looked seeing the blood that ran down her top, probably from when the Sirens had attacked, but he got in closer and did the only thing he was able to come up with, The only thing his heart could muster up.

Spike began hugging her.

The hug seemed to last for a long time, and Fluttershy was caught off guard as she let out a slight grunt. But she returned the hug as they held each other, not saying a word. A few minutes later they pulled apart as Fluttershy gave a light laugh as she asked,

“Spike what brought this on?” she giggled more, but Spike smiled,

“I was worried about you. That’s all. I thought you were…” Before he could finish the sentence, Fluttershy reached over and pushed her finger between his lips, shushing him with a relaxed smile.

“I’m alright Spike Pinkie pie she helped me, I’m all better.” Fluttershy said as she hugged him this time it was much tighter as Spike felt his back popping and cracking as he gasped for air.

“M-Fluttershy!” He managed to spurt out, which caught the Minotaur’s attention. Fluttershy didn’t notice this for a minute or two, but when she finally did she released him from her grasp,

“Oh, dear, I’m so sorry, Hubby!” She said as she checked over him as Spike couldn’t help but laugh holding his sides, his ribs felt like she accidentally cracked his ribbed, but he just ignored it till finally, it became a light ache.

“It’s fine, and it’s glad to see you’re all better. I’m happy.” He smiled,

“Yeah, well, I’m not happy, and we’re in big trouble,” Pinkie pie called out as she walked down the stairs looking back towards the man and minotaur. Her perky look was dimmed down as her hair was all over the place, which confused Spike.

“Why what's wrong?” Spike asked as he looked back towards her.

“Well, with what happened to Fluttershy, what those Sirens did nearly killed her. If we didn’t get her back here when we did, she would’ve died. But in saving her. I used up what was left of our Hydra blood.”

“Wait What does that mean?” Spike asked as he felt more curious since he never thought much about the Hydra blood. Though Pinkie pie looked to him, her hair seemed to slowly move back into place as she was getting a little more excited

“Well, Spikedy, it’s simply without that Hydra blood it means if anyone get’s hurt, especially Rainbow Dash, I can’t heal them as fast. This is so going to upset Rainbow Dash; she won’t be allowed to go all out.”

Spike couldn’t help but imagine how Rainbow Dash was going to feel when she found out about it. He’d seen her fighting style and training, and yeah. She had the habit of getting herself continuously hurt. He even remembered the first time he saw her and without her arm. If there was one thing, Spike knew, and that was the fact he didn’t want to be in the room when someone told her. It wasn’t going to end well.

Spike just hoped he wasn’t the one who had to do that. He shook his head lightly, as he thought about it more,

“Well, can’t we just get more?” But Pinkie pie seemed to be prepared for this one as she gave a quick response.

“We will though it’s going to take time, I’ll have to send some of the girls to hunt after a Hydra and bleed it dry, but they’re hard to find. Thanks to time, they’ve become pretty good at hiding. I mean this last one we had to find it over in Louisianna, and that one was such a doozie. I mean, we lost two of our girls fighting that thing!” Spike winced thinking about that, and the horrors it could’ve been as a result of hunting this creature. Plus, what if they were never able to find one. The camp would be in significant trouble.

The long storm about it, as he began remembering the note, something that had been given to him from Cadence. As he looked back over towards Pinkie pie and asked her a simple question.

“Hey, are either of you good at riddles?” Pinkie pie raised her head and let off an immense glee of excitement,

“I love riddles. I don’t know if I’m good per se, but I have a love of them… Why do you ask?” She looked back at him as Spike began pulling out the paper and soon began telling them about his encounter with the Goddess. Admittedly he left out what he had to do to get the hint, though Fluttershy looked at him almost knowingly but giggle as she said,

“Well, I’m glad she was able to give you such a hint even though it would've been better if she had told you who was doing this.” She soon reached over, giving Spike another tight hug at this point, causing Spike to groan. His back was hurting, but Pinkie pie pulled Fluttershy away with a slight laugh,

“Ok, cool it, lovers. Otherwise, you’ll be having to leave him in a cast. No way to Snu-Snu him than.” She reached over with a light laugh pushing them apart much to Fluttershy’s annoyance. But she was relenting as she took a quick reach for his ass, rubbing it gently, stating her claim. Spike didn’t mind this. Her strong hands squeezing felt great. Spike would reach over and return the favor. While Pinkie pie wasn’t looking as they began heading off towards The Queens cabin.

There was an agreement since they didn’t know what might happen next, and if there was a traitor, then they needed to figure out who it was. Who wanted Spike dead?

These questions they hoped would soon get these answers.

Pinkie pie leads the two as they strolled in, passing the other Amazons who were doing their daily duties. The great movements as Spike looked over towards the other Amazons, who seemed to be eyeing him but for what reason, be it lustful intention or pure spite from what Rarity had said. He couldn’t tell. But the girls that looked at him barely blinking.

They pulled the door opened, walking inside without much thought. Though Spike began noticing that Twilight’s room was much different. Instead of the walls being covered with weapons and other objects of war. Instead, the walls were filled with books. Rows upon rows of books that seemed to be in orders. The way they looked seemingly well-read. Soon something else caught Spike’s attention.

In the center of the room were two figures sitting in the center of the room. It was none other than the Sirens, or two of them, Sonata and Aria. Sonata sat there, annoyed her mouth gagged with what looked to be a large ballgag forced in her mouth and tied up. Aria just looked to them annoyed, as she shook her head. Before giving a snarky response.

“Oh, look, we have bullhead, a manic bitch, and fish food.” She huffed and puffed in annoyance as she was stuck in her bindings. Clearly surrendering, no longer having the will to fight.

“Wow, someone’s grouchy.”

“Oh yes, they are very much stubborn. They haven’t said anything at all.” Queen Twilight walked out from wherever she was hiding as she looked over towards the three.

“Pinkie pie, I might have to have you make a truth serum. See If Hera, or whoever it was that sent them here to kidnap Spike.” She turned, looking back at him, raising her eyebrow.

“Is there something you need?” She looked down as the Siren seemed to laugh at what was going on.

“We might have some information, Spike, well you can tell her.”

Which he did, Spike began recollecting what had happened between him and Cadence, and soon mentioned how It might not have been Hera who sent them. He pulled the paper, conjured by the goddess, as Spike handed it over. Twilight grabbed the paper and started reading it.

“One as pale as snow and heart in the right place but rare to find with such need.”

“It sounds like something Cadence would say as a riddle. Apollo, she is not,” Twilight said as she looked on over the paper trying to decipher it as Twilight examined it even more closely, as she thought about it more.

“It has to involve something with a Rose. Since it's about it by any other name.” She looked over as she started thinking, but Spike began thinking about something. Something he nearly forgot about last night. Something about Rarity. Why had he forgotten about it now it was so obvious. As he simply stated,

“What about Rarity? Queen Twilight looked at him as the paper was placed down onto the table.

“Well, the other night, before I ran into Cadence, Rarity came into my room, and well, she said…”

“What did she say?” Twilight asked as she was more curious; her eyebrow raised as she looked on as she stepped in closer. She seemed to adjust herself as the Sirens watched her than eyeing each other as if they were worried about something, but Spike couldn’t tell too much about it.

“Well, she came into my room when I went to bed during the ceremony, and she was basically telling me. I was never welcomed, and that Hera would make sure I’d be dead.”

Twilight nodded and turned around while she looked towards the Sirens and grabbed Sonatas ball gag and pulled it off.

“So Are you ready to tell me who sent you to our camp? Was it Rarity?” She gave a long smile as she seemed to try being her sweetest. Though Sonata only Smirked as she took in a long grunt and the foulest sound, as she began spitting in Twilight’s face.

Queen Twilight only let a Cheshire smile as she whipped the spit out of her face, backhand her using the same hand. Right across Sonatas face. There was a red mark on Sonatas face with a growl as she was taking in a deep breath, but before she was able to shoot a sonic blast at Twilight when she the Queen quickly put the ball gag onto her face.

“When you want to talk to me Properly, I’ll remove the gag.” She smirked and looked over and then staring at Fluttershy and Pinkie pie she than asked,

“Pinkie pie, Fluttershy, would you be kind to leave Spike and me alone for a few minutes I’d like to talk to him about something.” Pinkie pie nodded, but Fluttershy seemed reluctant as she was basically holding onto Spike as she wrapped her arms around the man tightly, almost afraid something might go wrong, Fluttershy’s eyes seemed to be on those Sirens, her hand reaching over to her side.

“What’s wrong, Cow? Still hurting after we stabbed your guts, I’m surprised you’re still alive.” Aria said with a snicker. Fluttershy looked to be fuming her smile vanishing as She looked like she wanted to grab her ax at this point but soon Felt Pinkie pie Grabbing ahold of her. Sure, Fluttershy could’ve pulled Pinkie pie off her, she could’ve thrown the woman at the Sirens but she took a deep breath, as though she was doing everything to restrain herself from killing Aria.

“Ok, but if anything happens to Spike, I’ll make sure that the Sirens don’t make it through the night, not this time.” She sounded so Serious reminding Spike about what happened when they first met before she showed her more soft side. It only caused him to shudder at the idea. Fluttershy was definitely not someone you wanted to get mad. Fluttershy and Pinkie pie walked away but not before she looked to Spike,

“Don’t worry we’ll take care of your chores.” She soon slapped Fluttershy on the butt almost teasingly to the guy, as they walked out. Fluttershy gave a hearty laugh as she did the same, causing Pinkie pie to practically fly off in the air. Spike laughed until the door was closed, and there he looked towards Twilight.

“So what do you want to talk about?”
