Spike held fear in his eyes as he looked Rarity moving in closer as she raised her blade ready to strike. But Before she could do that Spike made a leap of faith as he threw himself out of the way and passed her. He stood close by Twilight’s weapons as he grabbed one it was a short sword, perfectly balance, not too heavy for the young man. He held it up with one hand. Gripping to the handle tightly.

“Ok, just relax me, sure you’re not the best with a sword, Rainbow dash can still kick your ass but your getting better. Just don’t panic.” Rarity turned around as she held the blade, ready to strike while just swinging it around.

It wasn’t expected her movements seemed to go like she was dancing elegance as she aimed towards him with such incredible speed. Spike on the other hand barely had time to block it. Even than it was barely effective. Spike than tried to make a move to strike at her aiming for the side. But the form Rarity was using she quickly blocked it, Pushing him back.

“Fuck, I wish Applejack was here to help me! Where is she when you need her!”

Spike jumped out of the way Rolling back to his feet as he stood Infront of the door. He looked around and thought about it more and decided if he stayed in this location he wouldn’t survive. So he turned to the door he was standing right next to each other and threw it open jumping out. The sun wrapping around him as he ran out, the sword in hand as he saw the Amazons doing their usual routine.

They ignored Spike focused more on their work that was until Rarity came out and screamed towards them.

“Apprehend him, He has betrayed us and attacked the queen!” Raritys voice was menacing as she called out to the warrior woman. Some of them stopped what they were doing and looked to Spike some looked confused. A set of them being the trio of Nymphs They looked seeing Spike and moved around him surrounding him.

Spike wasn’t sure what was going to happen till Applebloom, called out.

“Hey, if you want to get to him you’ll have to get through us!” She pulled out what looked to be a set of daggers, as she was ready to Defend Spike with her life, each of the small girls were. As they looked over to the group that looked to be ready to strike.

“Thanks I owe you.” He said not thinking about what might result in that but he wasn’t ahead of that, while Scootaloo looked over almost winking.

“You better sugar.” As they were ready to fight three to a hundred. But soon to change as Applejack, and Rainbow dash ran in almost worn out, and looked over to Spike,

“What the Hell is going on Spike!” Rainbow dash asked, as she pulled out her sword, while Applejack would soon join in,

“What did you do?!” She seemed more annoyed than anything else.

“Nothing Raritys gone insane, Twilight banished her from the Amazon’s after discovering she murdered the two Sirens and she stabbed her in the back. Now she wants to kill me!” He said shouting to make sure everyone could hear what he was saying.”

Some of the girls lowered their weapon clearly confused with what was going on though before they could do much Rarity called out, almost in a menacing voice,

“The Man is lying I watched him harm our queen Bring him forth so we may punish him! He is like his Ancestor the damned Blackstones!” She called out louder the venom in her voice. Rarity was clearly out for Blood.

“This isn’t good at all.” Spike asked as he watched the confused look on the Amazon’s some making up their mind and ready to strike clearly loyal to Rarity, and nothing would change their mind other, not sure of it. Though Applejack called out,

“What is your proof!” Her voice rumbling louder, as if it was Thunder itself. Echoing off across the place. This somehow convinced some of them, and there a civil war began between the Amazons. They seemed to be going at war, and Spike for a second couldn’t help but find it insane. But he watched them going to war.

That was as he realized Rarity began walking down from the cabin, as she started moving off as she had her eyes set on Spike. She landed down on the ground as she gripped the blade. Her eyes filled with madness as she began running Slipping passed the Amazons fighting amoung themselves.

This Amazon was focused on one thing, and one thing only. That was Spike. He was standing their watching, and realized he’d never win in a one, on one fight with her. She was stronger and much more experienced than him. Spike had to think on his toes for this, and an idea came to mind.

“Oh, This is going to ether save my ass or get me killed.” Spike mumbled under his breath but he made a break for it. Applejack looked over and dropping an Amazon, called out,

“The Fuck are you doing?”

“I’m heading to the Labyrinth. Rarity wants to kill me, So Maybe if I can get us in even ground, I might be able to end this or not die. Don’t worry, I’ve got a plan… maybe.” Before she could say anything, else Spike was already running off. She sighed but than felt a fist slamming into her, going back to the fight at hand.

Spike moved down the Labyrinths entrance as he took deep breaths. As he moved down taking the first corner he could and leaned against the wall. His eyes closed as he started listening. He let the silence fill the air, while trying to move slightly, as he started letting Rarity voice call out,

“Here boy, Come to me and I might allow you to just be banished, if not your death will be swift.” Her voice was raspy as she moved down more. Spike moving away slowly trying his best not to be heard. He tried to be as quiet as a mouse. He reached down and started moving over letting his hand roam around the walls. Knocking on the wall lightly trying to feel something anything.

Come on, please be something. I’m sure whoever made this should’ve added a damn secret passage. He was trying to imagine something coming to him sure that it would work for him till he finally heard the voice saying,

“Found you.” He looked seeing Rarity her hand holding the sword a sadistic smile on her face, and began running at Spike.

He quickly moved running holding onto the sword as he started moving around the nearly endless maze. Trying to escape her. She was quick but Spike was only lucky to be ahead by a few feet. As he pushed on. His lungs were on fire, as he took a deep breath trying to fill his lung’s. His legs were hurting as he gasped more. He moved on as he looked around more. The long motion, while he began to take one last turn.

“Fuck!” He screamed, his voice echoing around as he found himself standing at a dead end. He was pretty sure it was close to the end. He turned around and saw that Rarity was standing there. Watching him with those eyes, the shadows slowly wrapping around her.

“So, you decided to take it the hard way. But no worry, when we tell your story, about how you slain our queen I’ll make sure to say you thought like the demon you are.”

She was raising the blade. Spike pulling his weapon up trying to defend himself. She came running at him as she swung Spike felt her pushing at full strength as she hit his weapon and it knocked out of his hand. It flew off hitting the wall before bouncing back and hitting the ground, The clacking was loud.

Spike looked over towards her away from the sword as she smiled even wider than Spike could even imagine.

She began swinging down but Spike’s instincts took over, and without thinking raised his left arm up to protect himself. The blade went down and without warning Sliced off his arm. He suddenly screamed in agony. The pain was too much, as he looked down watching as blood splurted out. He groaned grabbing it trying to think of something. He was wishing more than anything he had the strength of Blackstones. But soon he looked to her and decided to do the only thing he could do best, and that was talk.

“Before you kill me. I want to ask? Why did you do this? Why are you killing me now?”

It caught the Amazons attention, maybe it was a rational side of her winning out, maybe she was just cocky and just wanted to show off. Spike might never know but she lowered her weapon and walked back and forth. Making sure he couldn’t take the opportunity to try and escape.

“Fine, since this is the end, I’ll respect your last request. It started before you were taken, and the Queen had managed to discover your location, using ancient magic to find descendent of the old gods. When she found you. We where for it, and thought it was a great idea.” She smirked and took a long pause enough for Spike to ask her.

“What happened next?” Even more curious as he tried to move but just looked on, Her eyes staring daggers into him, when she continued on.

“What happened next was that night. I was given a vision, I saw a cow, looking down towards me. I knew it was Celestia, She showed me things many things and one thing particular. She showed me, that my sisters were fighting trying to kill each other! She showed my at deaths door with your sword through my chest! She told me if you were to arrive here I would die and my sisters would tear each other apart. I will never allow that to happen!”

She screamed this, as she watched Spike closer. But Spike looked in the distance. He saw something- No he saw someone, standing there. It was Fluttershy, watching them as she was shocked. She barely moved Spike looked to her.

“But don’t you see it’s already happening, and it was because of you! You’ve caused this chaos, not me!”

“But it was you who did this, you came here, and fucked my sisters, changing the natural order, you were not meant to be anything but a breeding pig. But now you’re one of us! But I’ll take care of that once this is over and I am Queen.”

Rarity pulled the sword up and was ready to strike. But Spike reached over using his one hand, holding it forward trying to defend himself but Rarity would only laugh.

“You think you’ll stop me now You’re nothing, No one will save you!” She screeched with such madness. Her hair all over the place, as Spike simply said,

“I’m not Nothing, and I’m someone now and I know it!” He held the sword in front of him, using every bit of strength to keep it up. His eyes getting heavy as he soon heard the scream from behind Rarity. This seemed to catch her attention as she turned around only having a split second to react, as she watched Fluttershy running head first into Rarity. Her horns pushing back puncturethe Woman chest, but that wasn’t the end as she suddenly found herself gasping.

When Fluttershy slammed into her head first Rarity was thrown back as she slammed off into Spike. She gasped more while looking down seeing the sword penetraiting her Running right threw her body. Blood leaking down from her mouth, and Spike watched her. He looked shocked, He was afraid about what he done, but Realized he had no choice. As she feel down to her knees.

She laid there looking at Spike, as a realization went over her. A though as she realized that everything in her vision had come true. She sighed in defeat but called out to Spike.

“Please, a single request?”

“What is it?” Spike wondered as he got down onto his knees as he tried seeing what she wanted.

“I want to see Luna’s Moon one last time, Let that me the one thing I see before I go to Hade’s and meet my Sombra and let him judge me.” Her voice was weak, as she was struggling to hold on, Pushing herself. Spike groaned but he would no, as he struggled to keep conscious himself. As he looked over to Fluttershy, and nodded.

Sure, the Minotaur was annoyed but she obliged and reached over picking Rarity up but not before throwing the sword they had off as far as she could. She didn’t trust the dying woman.

Eventually, they made it to Fluttershy camp, it was night fall. Time seemed to go on faster, Spike wasn’t sure how he was standing as he imagined it was him running on pure adrenaline at this time as he landed on his knees and feel down. Looking to the Sky, it was true the moon was exceptionally beautiful this night, Bright and larger than He ever seen it before, Like it was coming down to the earth at any moment.

Rarity, She looked at it with her eyes barely opened her hand out as if she was trying to touch it, almost like a child, She watched it for the longest time, and there she would finally collapse down as she took her final breath, and there She died leaving this world, On to the next world for who knows what might happen next.

Spike though felt himself passing out, as he feel down hearing Fluttershy scream his name out.

“Spike!”
