Equestria of the Dead

Twilight gritted her teeth as her anger rose to new heights, while Sombra could do nothing except stand perfectly still; being at the mercy of his former student. "M-Miss T-Twilight.....what in the......" he started.

"Don't "Miss Twilight" me you son of bitch!" she said.

"C-Come on now, p-put the knife down." he said. "W-Why are you even doing this?"

"Why? YOU GODDAMN KNOW WHY!" she yelled. "Do you have why idea how much Spike suffered because of you and that bitch?!"

"Y-You mean that?" Sombra replied. "S-Spike was found innocent, right? So there really shouldn't be a problem." That statement caused Twilight's angry to rise to a whole new level and push the knife closer to Sombra's neck; slightly cutting it which caused a small amount of blood to leak out. Sombra, feeling himself bleeding, quickly rose his hands up in surrender. He glanced over at Hondo, seemingly begging for help, but he looked unwilling to do so. "L-Look, Miss Twilight, I.....wasn't the one who made those accusations."

"But you WERE the one who encouraged it!" she argued. "You and that bitch turned not just the whole school, but half the city against him! You made everyone believe he was some kind of monster! What I don't get.... is why!"

"Allow me to answer that. The S.A.T., am I right?" Hondo spoke up. "The Starswirl Academic Test, or S.A.T., is one of the hardest standardize tests in the nation. It'd be a miracle if you were able to get an average score; let alone a below average score on it. It's said that if a student were able to pass, then they were guaranteed to get into any university they wanted and the teacher who prepared them for it, would no doubt receive unlimited praise for teaching said student; praise you undoubtedly wanted. Your student scored 5009 on that test while Spike scored 5010. Two perfect scores, but Spike was one point higher, and you nor your student could handle that."

"So that's why you did it? All that over one.....fucking..... point?!" Twilight's anger rose so much that she could only speak in whispers. Sombra could feel everyone's eyes on him. It was unsettling to say the least, but there was no weaseling his way out of this.

"Y-You don't understand." he started.

"Understand what?" Twilight whispered; her anger reaching it's boiling point the long she has to look at him.

"My student, Suri Polomare, has an amazing mind, she has the ability to go far in life. Why should that be taken away from her over one point?" Sombra argued. "So I suggested that if something were to happen that would make Spike ineligible for the scholarship, then it'll be passed onto her. I'd never believed she'd go that far." He was lying, everyone, especially Twilight knew he was lying. She remembered seeing him with a smirk on his face as Suri was telling everyone her fake story, and of course, she didn't believe a single word that came out of her mouth. "And like I said, he was found innocent, he'll get over it."

That was it.

Twilight couldn't hold back any longer. She went for the killing blow, however, before she could end him, the grounds keeper grabbed her and pulled her away. Twilight struggled to get free, but to no avail. As Sunset stepped in to pull the knife away, Sombra sighed in relief that his life was no longer in danger, but that didn't mean they were finished with him. Hondo approached the man; eyes filled with just as much, if not more anger than Twilight. "One simply doesn't just get over something like that." he said. "Spike and his entire family have been hounded by the media, and their neighbors over those allegations to the point that he tried to take his own life on two separate occasions. His grandfather was working on a special project that would change the world lost all funding and it had to be scraped, the police were constantly stalking them, looking for any reason to add more charges to Spike, and on top of that, he was facing expulsion, not just from the school, but from the whole damn town, and you think he should just get over something like that? This will follow him for the rest of his life."

"And you think i'm to blame for that?" Sombra argued. "What about the lead officer in charge. From what I heard, he's just as guilty."

"When the time comes, he'll get his, but right now, we're talking about you." Hondo answered. "Don't think I don't know about your connections with Miss Polomare; specifically her uncle, and your mentor, Neighsay." Sombra froze with wide eyes. Just how much does this man know about his connection with Neighsay? "So tell me, just how much did he pay you to ensure that his niece was the one who came out on top, or was it his idea to begin with?"

"How do you know Neighsay?" Sombra asked.

"Once, I've had an association with that man, but none of that matters anymore; not in this new world." Hondo explained. "Neighsay uses whatever recourses he has to secure power for himself and his family, even if it means destroying or manipulating the lives of the innocent; like what you've done to those students of yours." Sombra gritted his teeth and released a low growl. "I can tell just by looking at them they're too far gone to be save from your influence, and I cannot....no....WILL NOT allow you to do the same to the innocent people i'm trying to save." Sombra was about to angrily protest, but Hondo continued on. "I'd suggest you go to the west side of the city where Neighsay is. He's already building himself a small community there, and i'm sure he would be more than willing to take you in." Hondo then turned had back toward Sombra and started to make his way into the house, only to stop once he'd passed Twilight who was still struggling to get free.

"You're just gonna let him go?!" she yelled as she managed to break free.

"Of course I am." he answered.

"Why?! After what he's done, he should pay!" she argue.

"I agree with you, he should pay for what he did to Spike, but that's not your call. The decision lies with Spike." he countered. "And I believe you know who it is you should REALLY be aiming your anger at." Twilight lowered her head; knowing he was right. When they make to the mall, she would be reunited with her brother.....the same brother who played a hand in making Spike's life a living hell; no doubt in her mind he's doing the same thing to Spike's parents right this second. "With that said, I believe you should go, right now." Hondo said; turning his attention back at Sombra. The teacher growled and took a step forward only to be stopped by the grounds keeper who looked ready for a fight. "Trust me, you don't want this to escalate anymore than it has." Hondo warned. "So get on your bus, and get the hell outta here along with your students who's been corrupted by your evil!" The look Hondo gave him said everything. It wasn't the grounds keeper Sombra had to worry about, it was Hondo. Seeing that he was outmatched, Sombra slowly backed away with the grounds keeper leading him to back to the bus. Hondo and the other watched on as the students looked both scared and confused as they all boarded the bus with Sombra and proceeded to drive off.

"I doubt that will be the last we see of him." he said.

"DADDY!" came Sweetie Belle's voice. Everyone attention soon turned to the little girl in her swimsuit, standing in the doorway with her hands on her hips, and pouting angrily. Hondo rubbed the back of his head and chuckled nervously as Sweetie growled.

"Okay, i've kept you waiting long enough." he said. "Let's go swimming."

As Hondo started to leave, Sunset approached Twilight who kept her head down. "So, what now?" she asked.

"I think we should join the others at the pool." Rarity suggested. "It'll help take out minds off of what just happened." Before she started to leave with the others, Twilight watched on until the bus carrying Sombra and his students disappeared into the horizon.

****************************

As the bus drove the neighborhood, each of the students were worried, scared, and confused. Why would they just turn them away like that? Weren't they helping people? All the students sat in silence; neither one of them wanting to confront Sombra on what happen out of fear of what he might do. Sombra himself was furious behind the wheel; gritting his teeth and cursing underneath his breath after having his life threaten, not to mention, losing his chance to grow his following. Now he was force to find Neighsay and beg him for help even though that's that last thing he wanted to do. "Damn them! ALL OF THEM!" he thought.

****************************

Spike found himself relaxing by the pool as he watched everyone swimming around while Button destroyed the three men who attempted to gain his mother's attention. Spike sighed heavily as the last guy was German suplexed onto the pavement. "Damn, what was that all about?" came Rarity's voice. Spike looked up and saw her in a pink two piece bikini. Behind her was Sunset in a black bikini with her top being strapless.

"If I had to make a guess, I'd say those guys were hitting on Cream Heart." Sunset answered. "He really does have a thing for his mom."

"You say that like it's a shock." came Twilight's voice. Spike's heart nearly stopped once he saw Twilight in a green two piece; nearly spilling out of it just like Rarity and Sunset. Every step each of them made, caused just about every sexy part of their bodies to jiggle and sway lightly. Twilight noticed Spike checking her out, and made her way towards him; adding a little sway in her hips. She giggled at his flustered face and bend over; giving him a good look at her cleavage. "Room for one more?" she asked. Spike swallowed hard and moved over as much as he could in the beach chair so she could fit. It was a tight squeeze, but she was able to lay next to him with her body halfway covering his. Sunset and Rarity jumped in the pool; leaving the pair to themselves only to be later challenged by Sweetie Belle and Hondo to a little pool volleyball. Cookie grabbed Cream and practically threw her into the pool to join in on the fun. This caught the attention of several guys, due the girls nearly bouncing out of the tops when ever they hit the ball. Each one of them wished to whatever god was listening to them that they at least get the chance to see something; even if it's just for a millisecond.

Over with Spike, Twilight decided her move her entire body to lay over him. This was so that his eyes couldn't wander over to what was happening in the pool. Her plan worked as Spike's eyes traveled downward to see her large melons smashed against his chest which caused her to giggled as she hugged him tighter. A wiggle of her hips caused her perfectly round, and plump ass to jiggle like jello which earned her a glance from several guys in the area. All of them growled at the sight of seeing a beauty like her all over Spike and wished that it was them instead. Twilight rested her head on top of Spike's shoulder while thinking about the events from earlier; wondering if it was right to just let Sombra go like that. There was no doubt in her mind they were most likely going to run into him again sometime in the future, and he would have an even bigger following than he does right now. She didn't even want to think about what he does with his current group, however, all of her thoughts melted away once she felt Spike's hand gently caressing her back. Spike was careful not to roam his hand over the knot the held her top together; else run the risk of undoing it. Twilight closed her eyes and made a humming sound before feeling a hard smack on her ass. She instantly shot up and yelped believing Spike lost his mind before finding out who the real culprit was. "Come on, Twilight, we need your help." Cookie said before grabbing her arm. Twilight wasn't given a chance to respond as she was suddenly thrown in the pool. Cookie then turned her attention towards Spike and grabbed him as well. "You too, Spike." Before he knew, it was thrown in the pool as well.

****************************

Sometime had passed and Spike and Hondo found themselves sitting at the bar table watching the girls and everyone else continue to splash around. "It's weird." he said. "Us having fun like this while the whole world's gone to hell."

"I know what you mean." Hondo replied. "But at least, for a little while, everyone's mind is at ease; especially Twilight, after what happened earlier."

"Wait, what?" Spike asked. "What happened with Twilight?"

Looking at Spike, Hondo realized that he had no idea about the event from earlier. "That's something the two of you should talk about, but lets just say, we've had an unexpected guest arrive earlier." Spike wanted to know who it was, but it was clear Hondo wasn't going to tell him. Spike decided to speak to Twilight about it later on, right now, it was time to just relax....at least, that's what Spike thought he could do realizing that standing over him was none other than the head chef; obviously wanting another challenge. "Dude, seriously?"

"Yes, seriously." he said.

Over with Twilight, she noticed the head chef attempting to drag Spike away for another challenge and chuckled at his misfortune before using the diving board to jump into the pool. After completing her dive, Twilight emerged from the water only to quickly notice something was wrong. Somehow, her bikini top came off and she was exposed. Thankfully, no one seemed to have noticed and she immediately used her arms to cover herself. Twilight began to frantically look around, but saw no signs of her top anywhere, and started to panic. She was too embarrassed to call for help, but she couldn't stay where she was or else someone would notice.

As Spike was being dragged away, he looked over towards the pool and saw the panicked look on Twilight's face. Believing something bad just happened, Spike broke free from the chef's grip and headed over to the pool where Twilight saw him coming. He jumped in and swam over to her to which she immediately threw her arms around him. "Hey, what's wrong?" he asked.

"M-My top came off." she whispered. It was then Spike noticed the feeling Twilight's bare breast against his chest. As much as they felt good, he needed to get her out of there. Spike looked around until he saw an area where no one was and started to move the two of them over. Twilight held onto him tightly; hoping that no one would notice while Spike kept and eye open for her bikini top. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to locate it by the time they made to the side of the pool. Spike turned around to have his back against Twilight and slowly backed up against the ladder while facing everyone in the pool. Twilight held on as Spike slowly climb it; pulling the two of them out of the water, but there was another problem. They were on the far end of the pool while everyone was closer to the house. If Spike tried to pass by, everyone would notice them. Luckily, not that far from them was a work shed. It was Spike's best bet to get Twilight out of there, so when he was sure no one was looking, he made a dash for it.

It only took a couple of seconds, but Spike and Twilight were in the clear; entering the shed before anyone noticed they were gone. The shed itself was old with many tools all over the shelves, an opened window at the back end that also served as the only source of sunlight, and an old mattress in the middle of the floor with a note attached to it reading: Throw Away

"You should be okay in here." Spike said as he moved to sit Twilight on the mattress before starting to leave.

"Where are you going?" she asked.

"To see if I can find your top before someone else does." he answered; looking back at her. Twilight stood up, breasts jiggling as she did so, and grabbed Spike's arm; pulling him towards her. The two of them lost their balance and fell onto the soft mattress. With Spike now next to her, Twilight used this time to cuddle against him.

"You okay?" Spike asked.

"Y-Yeah." Twilight answered with a light chuckle before turning her gaze away. "Actually....not really." Twilight moved to sit up along with Spike and lowered her head. Something was clearly on her mind. "Spike.....Sombra showed up earlier." she started. Spike was taken aback by this news. This must've been what Hondo was talking about when he said they had an unexpected guest. "He wanted asylum from the horde, but Hondo turned him away." she continued. "I wanted to kill him, I was about to kill him."

"W-Why?" he asked. "I mean....I know you don't like him and all, but....."

"Spike....he was behind it." she interrupted. "He's the reason Suri did what she did, the reason why your life went to hell, and why everyone turned against you. It was all him! I was about to get revenge, but Hondo stopped me. He said it wasn't my fight."

"But....why?" Spike tried to make sense of it all. "Why would he....."

"It's because of the SAT test you took." she explained. "Spike you scored one point higher than Suri. She and Sombra couldn't handle the fact that they lost, so they made sure you'd lose the scholarship."

"And with me out of the way, it'd fall to her." Spike said in complete shock. This was why his life when to shit? All because of some stupid test. Everything he suffered through, all the humiliation of being arrested, having his picture all over the internet, being hounded and harassed at every turn, all of it, was because of some stupid ass piece of paper? Spike was experiencing multiple emotions at once; anger, sadness, shock, confusion, etc. He couldn't move, just stared off into nothing while his mind played back every horrible moment he'd endured for the past year. Spike wanted to leave, he wanted to be alone; to not see anyone right now, but he didn't want to leave Twilight alone. She was still topless with her bikini top still in the pool somewhere. To tell the truth, the only reason Spike hasn't completely lost it at this point, was because of Twilight's breasts. he had to admit, she sure knew how to use those large pillows of hers as a good distraction; albeit, intentional or not.

Twilight, realizing Spike being unable to focus on anything other then her chest, moved closer to him; rubbing the side of her breast against his arm before moving to plant a small kiss on his cheek. Twilight couldn't even begin to imagine what was going through Spike's mind right now, but maybe she could help ease his pain a bit.
