(Outside Building One, 1AM)

Flash was standing by a dumpster looking at his phone. Since his argument with Twilight and Fluttershy, he was waiting for them to pick up Spike and Smolder and it’s been 2 hours since then. “What in Celestia’s name is taking those mares so long?” He asked nobody in particular. “They’re probably mourning over what’s going on with Flower Petal. Well, it’s their loss.” He continued looking at his phone and waiting. Suddenly, Flash heard what sounded like a truck horn far away. “What the Hell?” He asked. Flash stepped away from the dumpster and following the noise. At first he couldn’t find anything, but just kept looking around. Suddenly, behind him, a light came on. Flash turned to see a car, not noticing that the driver was Sarah. Sarah began to move the car forward towards Flash. He realized what was happening and started running in the opposite direction. He was so surprised about what was going on that he dropped his phone. Sarah ran over it causing it to break. Flash was starting to pant and panic. He looked back to see that Sarah was 10 meters from him. “Help! Somebody help me!” Flash was whimpering now. “Why are you doing this to me!?” Flash continued to run until he reached a dead end blocked by a chain gate. He tried to push through but it wouldn’t budge. Flash looked behind him to see that Sarah was almost to him. He screamed and jumped to the side just in time for Sarah to smash through the gate. Flash took the opportunity to run back the way he came to get help. He looked around as he neared the exit of the studios. “HELP!!! THERE’S A PSYCHO TRYING TO RUN ME OVER!!!” He stopped to take a breathe, and looked to his left to see the guard from earlier that day with his back facing him. “Oh thank God!” Flash walked over to the guard who seemed unaware of his presence. “Hey, did you hear me?” Flash asked as he raised his hoof to tap the guards back. The moment he did, the guards head fell off and landed in his forehooves. Flash screamed at the sight of the disembodied head, not noticing Sarah coming right at him. In a snap, Flash got ran over.


(Human Bunch Breakroom)

Spike and Smolder were still trapped in that cage. Smolder was trying to pick the lock with claws, Spike was pacing trying to figure out exactly what was going on. They both heard footsteps coming their way. When they turned, they saw Jason dragging a one armed Mikey. Jason proceeded to put Mikey on the table, and put a metal cast where Mikey’s right arm used to be. He then pulled out a needle with a green liquid inside, and inserted it into Mikey’s remaining arm. “There. That should wake you up in half an hour.” Jason said. He then turned to see Spike and Smolder in the cage. “Well well well. My two favorite dragons trapped in a fireproof cage.”

“Why?” Spike asked.

“Beg your pardon?” Jason said.

“Why are you doing this?” Spike elaborated. “Why are you keeping us in here? I’m your biggest fan. What do you want from us?”

“All we want from you and your friends is to stay out of our way.” Jason answered.

Spike was confused. “Stay out of your way? For what?”

“Vengeance of course.” Jason said quite irritated. “Obviously, you want an explanation?” Spike and Smolder both nodded. “It all started last year. The same year the School of Friendship was opened. The Cutie Mark Crusaders were attempting to get enrolled into the school. During their failed attempts they met a pegasus filly named; Cozy Glow.”

“Wait! You know about Cozy to?” Smolder asked.

“SHUT UP AND LISTEN!!!” Jason yelled. “Cozy was Twilight’s best student. A natural, a kind and cute filly, a friend. That all changed after the ‘Disappearing Magic Incident.’ True, Cozy Glow was guilty of draining that magic, but she was just a filly. Cozy could have been given a chance for redemption, but did she get it? NO!!! Celestia had the gall to send a little kid to Tartarus forever!? I wanted her dead for that. Then Cozy, Tirek, Sombra and Chrysalis were summoned by who they thought was Grogar, but was really Discord in disguise. After Sombra was destroyed a second time, ‘Grogar’ sent the Legion of Doom to get his bell, and they succeeded. They were about to accept the magic of friendship, but they dismissed it. Afterwards, they formed their own plan to take over Equestria. They still failed even with Grogar’s bell. After they were stopped, Celestia could have finally done what she should have done and reformed them, but when Discord talked to her and Luna, what did they do?” Spike and Smolder didn’t answer. “WHAT DID THEY DO!?” Jason shouted causing Spike and Smolder to back away. “THEY TURNED THEM TO F#@KING STONE FOREVER!!!!!!!! They all had a chance for redemption, but did Celestia let them have it!? F#@K NO!!! They basically killed those three! SERIOUSLY!? After reforming villains that did worse things than them, they’re gonna turn them to stone permanently!? If anyone should have been punished like that it’s Discord! He’s the one who started this mess in the first place!” Spike and Smolder were shocked at this explanation.

“So, wait. You and your friends are keeping us trapped in here because you believe we’ll stop you from delivering vengeance on Celestia, Luna and Discord for turning 3 villains they could have spared into stone?” Spike asked.

“Well... yes.” Jason answered.

“Well, what if we give them another chance now?” Smolder asked.

“Oh no no! It’s too late for that. They should have done it when they had the chance. They’re going to suffer the same fate as Neighsay did.”

Spike and Smolder gasped. “N-Neighsay is d-dead?” Spike stammered.

“Of course he’s dead, my friend Beegle sawed him in half right in front of his fiance. And they were just engaged to.” Spike began to tear up and went over to the end the cage to get closer to Jason.

“Jason please. Let us out of here. We’ll let Cozy go! We won’t tell anyone what you did, just please let us go!” Spike begged.

Jason sighed. “I’m sorry Spike, but I’m afraid I can’t do that. I can’t trust you to keep any secrets or do what you said you would. After we finish Celestia, Luna and Discord, we will send you and your friends back to Equestria unharmed, and don’t do anything to make us regret sparing you.”

Smolder looked at Spike, then turned to Jason. “Sorry pal, but you made me do this.”

“Do what?” Jason asked. He got his answer when Smolder took a deep breath. “Oh shit.” Jason muttered. Smolder breathed fire through the open chains of the cage towards Jason. Jason’s face caught fire instantly. “AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!” Jason screamed as he fell to the ground. Smolder then finally picked the lock on the cage.

“Come on! Run!” Spike said as they escaped the cage. After the fire went out, Jason slowly got up. He turned and saw his face in the mirror. It was completely burnt to a crisp. Jason put a hand on his face. It had a leathery feel to it. As he gazed at his reflection, rage boiled inside Jason’s heart. His favorite dragons he’d ever known had did this to him.

“Those stupid reptiles!” Jason said to himself. “Grrrr! I’ll get them later! I have a moon princess to slaughter.”
