"So, lets start at the beginning, my name is Spike Drake. I am...was the assistant to the princess of Friendship and my older sister, Twilight Sparkle. But one day I snapped. Here's how it went down. It was a normal Tuesday morning..."

A 19 year old purple and green dragon was sleeping in his nice comfy bed, when suddenly a 25 year old purple alicorn with lavender hair busted into the room. "Spike, it's time to get up." Said the mare.

Spike groaned as he didn't want to get up. "No, up till 3am." Said Spike as he tried to ignore her.

Twilight groaned as she used her magic to pick up Spike, and carry him to the bathroom. Spike just hanged there limply. 'Why do I even bother?' Thought Spike as he was used to this kinda treatment. Twilight, who went to bed at 11 was perfectly happy waking up at 7, but that was her, Spike on the other hand needed to pick up the mess Twilight's studying created, and that normally took more than 3 hours, but last night's mess was pretty bad, so it was a 3am bed time for Spike.

Twilight walked into the bathroom and turned on the shower for Spike. "Just wake up, all the girls are going to be coming over today, and after you make breakfast, I need you to make snacks."

Spike groaned as this had been his life for 8 years, and it was starting to get annoying. "Why don't the girls bring snacks?" Asked the dragon.

Twilight rolled her eyes. "Because, I said that they didn't need to." She tossed Spike into the shower and let him get cleaned up. "Be down in 20 minutes." Said Twilight as she walked out of the bathroom.

Spike growled as he thought about his life. "Why, just why? I am a dragon, I have magical fire, my scales are harder than diamond, and I have survived just as much as them, but no, all they see is Spike the assistant, Spike the cook, Spike the slave." Spike used his tail to turn off the shower, 8 years of being treated like dirt, 8 years of being the attentive servant, 8 years of not getting a word in edge wise, and Spike was fed up.

Spike got out of the bathroom and headed back to his room. "I'm tired of being nothing more than just a tool for them, all my life I've been nothing more than a pawn for Twilight, well it's time for this pawn to get promoted to a queen... Ok, that analogy fell apart, but I'm still going to do what I said." Spike walked to his room and started gathering all of his stuff, which wasn't much, only a few comics, some old treasures that he held dear, and a few gems that he had in case he needed a late night snack. He gathered all of the items and tossed them into a duffel bag that he had under his bed. Originally it was so he would have a piece of luggage in case he ever needed to go anywhere. Too bad Twilight wanted him to stay and watch the castle, while she goes off and does something with the others.

Once Spike had everything packed, he slung the bag over his shoulder. He would give Twilight one more chance to show him an ounce of respect, but he wasn't holding his breath. Spike walked down to the ground floor of the castle, and headed to the library, the most likely place for Twilight to be right now. "Hey Twilight, can we talk for a moment?" Asked Spike.

Twilight hummed as she was reading her book. "Sure, but make it quick, I'm hungry."

Spike huffed, he left his bag at the door and walked to a small reading chair. Spike took the seat and looked at Twilight. "Twilight, can you put the book down for a moment?"

Twilight groaned as she placed a book mark in the page, she closed the book and placed it down on the table. "Spike, seriously, I was in the middle of something, what could possibly be so important that you would interrupt me?"

Spike looked upset, but that clearly wasn't able to be seen by Twilight. "Twi, I want to talk about what I do around here, and I think we It's about time that- Hold that thought Spike, I think I understand what's going on."

Spike smiled at hearing that. "Great, I was worried."

Twilight smiled as she poofed a scroll of Spike's chores into the room. "I know it's hard for you to clean the outside windows, so for today, I think I'll try a new spell on you, so you can get to them." Twilight giggled. "What, you didn't think I wouldn't notice?"

Spike growled. "Twi, that's not what I was talking about. Listen, I want to tell you that I'm- Lazy, come on Spike, it's clear that you are getting off easy with these chores, heck, I bet even Fluttershy could do all these chores in a hour, but for you it takes all day."

Spike was starting to breathe heavily. "I mean, it's not that hard to clean the floors, or reorganize the library, or do the shopping." Said Twilight with a giggle. "That's why I want you to go to AJ's to help around the farm every other day, so you can lose this habit of being lazy, you're welcome."

"At that moment, I just couldn't find it in myself to care anymore. I did all the chores, I did all the cooking, all the cleaning, all the everything for that mare and then she goes and calls me lazy, while little miss Princess of Friendship just sits on her flanks all day, and reads her stupid books. You know she never once offered to help me with the chores, the only reason I cooked for her was so I didn't die, because she couldn't cook for shit. So I just got up, grabbed my bag, and started walking in a single direction." Said Spike, but this wasn't the same Spike, no this new Spike was now 21 years old, and he was one of the most notorious criminals in the world.

A large yeti like creature was hanging upside down, he was wrapped in chains and was about to meet his end. "So tell me Storm King, what makes you think I won't drop you into the sea right now, letting me take over your empire, and getting my revenge?"

The Storm King smirked. "Well, my right hand pony is holding a dagger to your back right now." Soon a maroon unicorn mare with a broken horn walked into Spike's view. "So, lets make a deal, you release me, and I don't kill you?"

Spike laughed as he pulled the mare into his lap. "Her, you know she's been working for me for the last 2 months right?" Storm King was shocked. "I guess not, well I told her the truth, and I mean the whole truth."

The mare shot her former boss a glare. "Yes, like how you've been filing my horn when I was asleep, keeping the truth that it would have grown back in 5 years, and the fact that you've been lying to me about being able to fix it." The mare got off Spike's lap and walked over to Storm King. "So, I'll ask the question now, tell me Storm King, what makes you think I won't drop you into the sea right now, letting Spike take over your empire?" Asked the mare.

Spike wasn't going to take the time for Storm King to give a stupid answer or for him to beg for his life. "Fuck it." Spike pressed a button on the throne he was sitting on. The button released the chain that was holding Storm King up, letting him fall out of a large hole in his former flag airship.

The mare turned around and glared at Spike. "Spike, what the hell? I wanted to make him cry."

Spike laughed. "Oh come on Tempest? You weren't going to let him answer either, so why bother?"

Tempest sighed as she started to laugh. "Yeah." Tempest walked over to Spike and took her spot on his lap. "So, to Mount Aris?"

Spike nodded. "Yep, but we're not going for the pearl, no instead we're going to have a little talk with Princess Skystar."
