Celestia started to chuckle. "Sorry, I must of miss heard you, did you just tell me that Tempest is pregnant?"

Spike looked at his mother's face, and he had only seen that look on it once before. "Well, it looks like it's time for bed, I guess we'll leave you to your beauty sleep." Spike picked up Tempest and tried to run for the door, but the moment Celestia noticed that her son and his mare friend were trying to escape from her, she used her magic to pick them both up.

"Spike, tell me the truth, are you going to have a child?" Asked Celestia.

Spike looked at his mother. "I am going to be a father."

"And you're sure that you are happy with Tempest?"

"I nearly killed Blueblood for insulting her."

"Not a stretch there Spike, now tell me."

"Mom, I love Tempest, more than I ever loved anyone before, I want to see her every day, I want to always see her smile, and I will kill anyone that makes her upset."

Cadance started groaning at how much love was being shoved down her throat. "Ok, stop, I'm going to throw up."

Celestia sighed as she tossed Spike over to Luna so she could talk with the mare. "Now, I have a few little questions for you. First, do you love my baby?"

Tempest looked dead into Celestia's eyes and gave her answer without a second thought. "He's an idiot, a comic nerd, a know it all, and to top it off he snores so loud it feels like an earthquake, but if he was none of that, I couldn't see myself loving him as much as I do."

"Are you going to break his heart?"

"No." Said Tempest simply.

"Can I see my grandbaby when they are born?"

"Just don't spoil them rotten."

"What color are you thinking of, for the wedding?"

"No clue, I never thought about it when I was younger, and really never when I was with the Storm King."

"I was planning on asking Coco to be the planner." Said Spike, he was planning to ask Tempest to marry him, but Celestia kinda got there first.

"Oh, good idea, I was thinking Elora, but she would make all the dresses lowcut, and way too provocative." Said Tempest.

"Hence Coco." Said Spike.

Tempest looked back to Celestia. "So, anything else, it was a long day and I want to go to bed."

Celestia sighed as she placed her soon to be daughter in law back on the floor. "No, that's about all I had."

Tempest smiled as she grabbed her dragon from his aunt. "Come on Spike, I want to have some fun tonight."

Spike shrugged as he was being dragged by his soon to be wife. "Well, good night." Said Spike as he closed the door.

Cadance looked to Celestia. "Well, that was something."

Luna did the same. "I agree, I had no idea that Spike was going to be a father." Said Luna as she took a sip of her coffee. "Sister, you seem to be taking this better than I thought."

"Yeah, about that Luna, I never did tell you that since Spike's getting married, he's technically going to be King of Equestria." Luna looked at Celestia as her coffee poured onto the bed.

"WHAT!?" Cried the Alicorn princess.

"It was a law before our mother's time, and before alicorns ruled the nation. Many royal families decided that if the heir marries then the king or queen at the time must relinquish the throne for the next generation to rule, something about keeping the mind sharp and harder for corruption. I found mention of it when you were gone, but before I found Spike's egg, I thought it was never going to amount to anything, and for nearly 1000 years, it didn't. But when Spike was hatched, I actually found the law and it states that only the nobles can repeal this law, meaning that we are pretty much retired the moment Spike says I do."

Luna sighed, but then she remembered her niece. "Than what about Cadance, she is married, and she is not ruling?"

"She is also not my legal daughter, sure I took her in, but in the eyes of the Equestrian law, I have only one child, Spike Drake Solaris."

"So, we're out of a job?"

Celestia nodded. "Yep."

Cadance sighed, it was past her bedtime, and Flurry's 11 pm wake up was only 63 minutes away now. "Make sure to come by to see Flurry, she loves seeing her Grandmas." Said Cadance as she walked out of the room.

Luna sighed as she was late for work as well. "Well, Tiberius is probably worried, I'm going to Night Court." Luna finished her coffee and used her magic to pull the amount off the bed. "Good night Tia."

Celestia watched as her sister closed the door and the moment she did, Celestia cheered happily. "My Baby is having a baby, my baby is having a baby." She then looked down at her body. "Shit, I am hot for a grandma. WOW WHO!"

The next morning, Spike woke up to the sight of Tempest sleeping face. "My god, this is all real, I'm so happy."

Tempest groaned as she rolled over. "Spike, sleepy, I'll tie you to a pole if you wake me up again."

Spike chuckled. "Sorry Tempest, I'll leave you alone."

Tempest rolled over again and grabbed Spike's arm. "I never said you needed to leave."

Spike smiled as he kissed her face. "Sorry, but the meeting is going to start in an hour and I need to get ready."

Tempest groaned as she needed to get up then. "Fine, I'll join you in the shower."

"No, you just rest, I can handle this." Said Spike as he tried to push the mare back down.

But Tempest wasn't going to be some stereotypical pregnant mare. She grabbed Spike's hand and was tempted to crush it. "Spike, I love you, I really do, but I will not be treated like a helpless mare, at least until the doctor tells me to, am I understood?"

"Fine, whatever it takes to keep my hand." Begged Spike.

Tempest smiled as she released the hand. "Good, but Spike, please don't treat me like some helpless mare, I am a fighter, and that's what I'm good at."

Spike sighed as he didn't want to argue. "Fine, but New G will be the final word. If he says you're done then you're done."

"Deal. Now, let's get cleaned up and get some food, I'm starving."

"Please tell me no cravings, I've seen some strange things because of the Cakes and Cadance."

"Normal breakfast you idiot, but an egg with peanut butter does sound tempting."

Spike sighed as he walked to his personal bathroom. "Then make it yourself, I call any food like that an abomination."

Tempest giggled as she got out of the bed and joined Spike in the shower.

After the shower and breakfast, it was time for Spike to attend the royal summit. All of the rulers were in the center of a large theater-style room, sitting at a large round table with a hole in the middle of it for the current speaker. The rest of the attendees were going to be, any guards, advisers, or important figures that could grant some insight into what conditions would entail for their home. Spike was sitting with the royals while the others were sitting in the stands.

Spike looked around at the other royals, there was Yona, Thorax, Ember, the Zebra's king Zim, Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight with her horn and wings, Novo, Bonnie, the Abyssinian Queen, Queen Nayru, The Deer's king, Spectral Antlers, The Saddle Arabian's King, Haakim, the Diamond Dog's pack leader, Lady Gold Paw, The Kirin Queen, Rain Shine, Seabreeze the Breezie oddly enough, Representative of the Griffin kingdom, Grandpa Gruff and lastly there was Spike.

Celestia cleared her throat as she was the head of this summit, it was her job to kick things off. "We are gathered here today to determine what is to be done with the lawless territories that were once the Storm King's empire. We have brought representatives from each race to allow us a sense of what has been going on, they will be brought forward at a later time, but for now, let us talk." Said Celestia.

"My home, Mount Aris was terrorized, to the point that we had to abandon our ancestral home and flee to Seaquestria." Said Novo. "For years we lived in fear of that creature finding us and destroying the last remaining hope that my Hippogriffs held for returning."

Spike sighed as he looked at the queen. "Queen Novo, I do respect your perspective of what the Storm King did, but let me tell you something, your Hippogriffs got off easy."

Novo growled as she got to her feet and glared at Spike. "You have no right to speak Mister Drake, it was you who threatened me to tell the fate of the Storm King by using my daughter's life."

Spike shrugged. "That's right, I'm also the one that traveled behind him for 2 months, and saw first hand what he did, and let's not kid ourselves, that area was pretty bad anyway. Slavery, torture, corruption, murder, theft, war, famine, pestilence, I've seen it all, and I was glad to kill that prick, that has allowed us all to come together and make it better for not just the people that live there, but for all of us to see what is happening outside of our homes when all we care about is our land. In fact, I have a personal friend that was born and was sold off to a rich asshole that treated him as less than any living creature should." Spike looked over to TX and nodded.

TX took a deep breath as he walked down to the table, and everyone saw the state of the Kirin subspecies. "Hello." Said TX.

Spike nodded as he was there for support. "My first memory was of being used as forced labor for my masters third home, I was only 5 at the time. I didn't have a name, only a designation number, number 149. From what the others that were sold in my group tell me, is that my mother was sold off after she was... Raped by her former master, I have no memory of her, but I have always felt that she loved me very much. From what I was told, she was being used as a servant during a trip, she fell to her death during a storm. I was left alone for the next 12 years until I had my chance to escape that life. I used the farming tools that we were allowed to use and after months of work, I was able to fashion a shiv. So the first chance I had, I stabbed the guard that was in charge of my cell in the throat. I stole his keys and freed all of my fellow slaves, but by that time, it was chaos, the guards were cutting us down left and right, and the beasts they used were not letting us get too far. That is what happened to my arms." TX removed his left arm and showed the large implant that allowed him to move it. "The beast tore my arm off and nearly destroyed my right. Thankfully it left after that, thinking that I was going to die, but I didn't, I tore the small clothes that I was allowed to have and did my best to stay alive. I ran for what seemed like years, bleeding, starving, unsure how to read, every step was powered by the fear of my master killing me for everything that had happened, or worse. I do not know how long I was running, but in my condition, I doubt it was that long. I resounded to my fate in hope that I would finally see my mother in the afterlife, but that's when I learned that Fate had other plans for me. Spike had been on a job and he happened to be camping not too far from where I was passed out."

Spike nodded. "I did my best for him, but I am no doctor, so I did the only thing that would have saved his life, I amputated his other arm and cauterized them both. Poor kid was so tired he didn't even move when I burned his shoulders. I placed him at my campsite and gave him some water, then I decided that I had to do something, there was a 17-year-old kid, with scars far deeper than the physical ones, and I was no idiot, I knew where the hell I was. So systematically, I destroyed every slave owner's home, slave auction house, and anyone that tried to stop me met the same fate. To this day, I have freed 1300 slaves and if this summit works, then I hope that I will never need to free a slave again."

TX nodded. "I woke up three days later, and after getting hit in the head by Spike's tail after I tried to run away, he gave me something I never thought I was going to dream of, a full meal. I ate more food than I was given in a week in a matter of moments and then he gave me even more. That's when I figured out that Spike was not going to enslave me, or even going to turn me in for a reward, he was actually helping me to show me kindness."

"From that point, I avoided any location that could cause TX to relapse, and after we traveled for a week, we regrouped with my ship, and my chief of R&D, and medical both physical and mental helped me turn that nearly dead child into the Kirin we see here." Said Spike.

TX walked out of the center and over to Spike. "Spike, is that all you need of me?"

"Yes, thank you, TX. If you want, you can leave, I know that was not easy for you."

TX nodded and walked away from Spike. Spike looked out to the rest of the rulers. "I have made a deal with him, I am allowed to call him for jobs, and maintain his arms, in exchange he promised to live his life as he wishes, if he wants to return to his land and go on a warpath, then I would not stop him, if he just wants to leave that in the past and start a new life somewhere I would honor his decision. I do not pity him at all, I respect him, for overcoming the horrors' that he endured. And here's the real kicker, I saw slavers and slave alike, from almost everyone's race. So I motion that as the first act of this summit, is that we abolish slavery no matter who is in charge because, at this point, they are all scum."

Celestia nodded. "All in favor?"

"Aye." Said Everyone.

"All opposed?" Asked Celestia, and not a single person said a word.

"Great, it shouldn't take too long." Said Spike as he popped open a panel on his large fist, and pressed a button. "And there, all slave owners have been captured, all auction houses have been destroyed, trafficking networks have been eliminated, and depending on what has changed since I got my intel, around 1.2 million slaves have been freed and are being recovered by DRAKE personnel and will be returned in a matter of days to their own kingdoms." Spike closed his panel and smiled. "Great work everyone."

Celestia glared at Spike. "Spike Drake, what is the meaning of this?"

"Celestia, do you think I was going to take the chance that it was going to be denied? No, I have had armed DRAKE soldiers stationed and ready to make a move if anything happened, with an overall command to instantly wipe out any slavers that were thought to have found out. But right now, I have just taken out around 4000 slavers, auction house runners, slave captures, and transporters." Spike raised his hand to his helmet. "So, how is the recovery going?"

"All known targets eliminated sir, minimal casualties reported, 3 so far."

"Good, get the port to dispatch all the ships you can and start processing everyone, task the more educated to act as interpreters and make sure to feed and clothe them. We are going to make the main port into a large scale supply depot, cancel all incoming and outgoing ships that hold more than 3 tons of cargo, any smaller are allowed to ferry people to and from the mainland."

"Sir." Said the Soldier as he relayed the orders.

Spike smiled as he looked at the others. "Now, I motion for your aid in the processing and supplying of all the newly freed slaves, I will offer all my personal to transport, but I do only have an island, while I know that the Minotaur Republic has great deals of tools that could be helpful to get them on their own feet. While Equestria could provide much-needed food stocks and possible land for them to stay. King Zim, I know your land is full of powerful healers, so I would like to request aid in treating injuries. Queen Novo, I know that right now we are not on the best terms, but these people have nothing to do with us, I know that the seafloor holds many resources that could be used in conjunction with King Zim's healers to aid the healing process. Yona, can I count on you and your Yaks to act as protection? Many of them have been slaves for their whole lives and will not go easily, I'm not asking you to hurt them, just hold them long enough for them to see that we are only there to help them. Princess Luna, I know you are only one mare, but I believe that my intel was not complete, so if it is possible, I would like for you to delve into the memories of as many creatures as you can and determine if we missed anyone. Princess Cadance, King Thorax, I hope that we can utilize your extensive knowledge of emotions to help guide them as psychologists. Queen Nayru, King Haakim, many of the slaves have never seen some clothing that would be helpful, I know that both of your lands are known for fabric production, I can commission many of the Garment districts in Macro City to aid in the production of clothing if we have the supply. Lady Gold Paw, Dragon Lord Ember, I am asking for your aid in financing such an operation. Gold Paw, I will cover the value of the gems that I have stolen from your kingdom as a majority of your share, but I'm hoping that you will agree to cover the rest. Dragon Lord Ember, I have seen the power of the bloodstone, and I will use it to make each dragon with a large enough horde relinquish 30 percent of it for the effort. But it would be more impactful for the unification of both dragon and the other races if the dragon lord doesn't need to force it. And just so you know, this isn't much of a request, more like, hostage-taking, I plan on getting everything that is needed one way or another, so let's make it your choice."

"THAT IS TOO FAR!" Cried Celestia.

"Celestia, what is too far? The fact that at this very moment, over 1 million former slaves are being freed from a life that was determined if the next day was going to be their last, or the families that were torn apart just so some guy didn't have to fork over some extra money, oh how about the brutal torture that many endured just for a simple mistake. Death, rape, abduction, enslavement, how far is too much to make sure that none of this will ever be a cause of suffering again?"

"I will provide for any that need my help." Said Bonnie as she stood up and joined this effort willingly.

"Yaks, are best at aiding those who need it." Said Yona as she got to her feet and joined willingly.

"My healers are at your disposal." Said Zim as he was not going to leave his ally when he is in need.

"I shall send as much of my lands fabrics as I can along with as many skilled artisans as it takes." Said Nayru this was a noble cause and she was not going to abandon these people.

"So will I, an army of tailors will be arriving at Macro City in a matter of days." Said King Haakim, his country used to be slavers as well before it was abolished, and it still is a stain on their history. He was not willing to allow it to spread again.

"Fine, I will send as many scouts as I can to find medicinal items from the seafloor." Said Novo, Spike was right, her personal feelings should not doom others.

"I will agree, but it may take some time for our mines to produce enough to make such an impact. But I can also provide materials for housing in exchange." Said Gold Paw.

"I'll make it a contest to see which dragon is the most dragon by giving up some of their hoards." Said Ember.

Luna stood up. "I will do my very best both in the waking world and the dream world."

"We would be happy to provide any psychological assistance that will be needed." Said Cadance and Thorax, they all had experiences of being forced into servitude, and they were going to do anything they need to help.

"What of us?" Asked Seabreeze, Rain Shine, and Grandpa Gruff.

"Right, here is the thing, I don't know enough about your lands to know where you can help."

Grandpa Gruff growled as he threw his fez at Spike. "You dumb dragon, we griffins are the perfect mix of speed and strength, we can transport as much food or water as 10 pegasi."

"Yeah, we breezies have stockpiled pollen, we could increase crop yields for at least 5 years to help them develop."

Rain Shine growled as her main became flames. "We can help in transportation, we Kirin's are just walking boilers." Rain Shine looked to TX. "Young TX, tell me, what of your species of Kirin do you know?"

"None, I was the only one of my kind that I had ever encountered while I was enslaved."

"I see, you are a Drake Kirin, while I am an Equine kirin, there are not many similarities, but from last I spoke with the other tribe, we still share many of our beliefs, I want you to know that you will be welcome in Perilous Peaks if you ever wish to learn about your kind."

TX bowed his head. "Thank you."

That only left two of the royals. "I will start preparations for homes and infrastructure for all that wish to stay here and abroad. Craftsmen and architects are something we are not lacking in Canterlot as well as protection via the royal solar and night guards."

"Princess Twilight, I want you to help my company process and provide the necessary accommodations for each individual." Said Spike as he got up from his seat.

Celestia, Luna, Cadance, Twilight, and all the girls who were in the audience were shocked to see Spike actually address Twilight.

"It's been fun princess's, but I got a company to run, and a wedding to plan with my secretary, I'm out for the day." Spike looked at his crew and they all got up and followed Spike out.

Celestia blinked at how Spike just organized a large scale network of aid relief and relocation in a matter of minutes. "Um... meeting adjourned for today?" Celestia banged her gavel, but no one was moving, they were all still discussing what they could do and who they would best be able to help.

Outside, Spike was smiling at being able to help so many people in one go. "Spike, I hope what I said was helpful?" Said TX.

Spike nodded as he looked at TX. "More than we will probably ever realize, thank you for going through that."

"So, you and Tempest?" Asked Elora.

"Yes, and no, Coco is doing the wedding."

"But I had so many ideas for gowns."

"How many of them would make it harder to start the honeymoon?"

"Wait that's an option?"

"You just made my point." Said Spike.
