The Dictators of Ponyville 3 The Rise Of The Shadows

There was alway's something wrong with the CMC when they had their first speech, after they had taken over Ponyville. Twilight had noticed something was...... of about them. She couldn't explain it, it just, something was wrong. She didn't know what was wrong tho, wich is why she has been close to just rip her mane of, (atleast a couple of times). She was walking around her apartment in circles thinking about all possibilities of what may have happened. None of them made sense tho, she had a small theory that they maybe were possessed, but that wouldn't explain the real angered that they showed. When you're possessed, then anger isn't You'rse, but what has possessed you. The anger the CMC showed were their own, but there has been stories from Starswirl the bearded stating, "if the pony or creature already has anger and hatred then it'll be harder to detect the possession of what has possessed pony or creature."

It didn't make sense! If the CMC were possessed shouldn't Twilight have noticed it? Doubt started to fill her head and a thought came to her, wich she had to realise maybe was the case

Perhaps they were never possessed.

Spike's Apartment

Spike was sitting on his couch reading a book about weapons that The Cutie Mark Crusaders had invented. They didn't go into detail on how they had gotten them just that they had "created" them.

Spike didn't know what to believe anymore. He had heard from his buddies the other day that, Applebloom had showed up to the Apple family reunion and caused a little bit rocus there. Spike felt weirded out, he wasn't an Apple but he had heard Applebloom say that she wasn't an Apple anymore. Spike had heard her when he had protection duty. He had stood outside the door and overheard the conversation. Spike didn't want to ask himself why she said what she said, it's her life after all.

Spike closed the book and looked around the room a little bit and dived into his thought's. He was thinking of reconnecting with Twilight and the others. After Spike had told the mane six what he did as a job, they weren't angry with him but they weren't exactly happy either. Thing's then escalated and it ended with Spike saying hurtful thing's, thing's that made the main six almost cry because of the shame, even Rainbow Dash. He told them about the abuse he had suffered over the years because of them, he then continued onto the suffering he felt of what Pinkie and Rainbow did wich was hurtful pranks. Rainbow had retorted saying that it was nonsense. Spike then asked, Rainbow if he had pranked her with shooting her wing, if she would see it as a prank. She went quiet after that. After that day he left them and never looked back. He did talk sometimes to Zecora and Fluttershy.

Spike came back to reality when he heard his phone signal go of. He picked it up with his claw, the phone was beside him. He pressed on the green button and accepted the call, it was an unknown number so he thought that it was some marketing company.

"Hello, Spike the Dragon here." Spike said, with a slight irritated voice.

"Hey Spike, it's me Twilight! Look I'm sorry for what me and the other has done to you and I know we can't take it back, but I was hoping if you could come by my apartment around eight? Is that okay with you?" Twilight asked, hoping he could shed some light on somethings.

Spike didn't respond at all, he didn't know what to do. He was happy that she called him, but also furious that she did because, it was evident in her voice that she wanted something, wich infuriated him to no end. Twilight took his silence as a no and said, goodbye.

Spike hung up the phone, lost in his thought's. He was thinking that perhaps it was time to reconcile. He had done it with Fluttershy to some extent, but not the others. He still remembered how angry he was the day he said he had joined the army. Rarity was shocked and said that he was just a baby. That was one of the final straws he slapped her so hard, he thought the neighbor heard it. Rainbow had got up in his face, and asked him what that was for. Spike then proceeded to explain the age of Twilight and how it was technically just a four year difference. Rarity became so quiet afterwords that everyone literally forgot that she was there. Spike then accused Twilight saying had she not used her magic on him, then he would atleast look older. Twilight felt incredible guilt, she realised that he was right. Applejack saw that Spike spoke nothing but the truth, wich was exactly why she was scared of even saying anything.

Fluttershy was accused of seeing Spike as a mere pet. He told her he had never been more offended in his life, and he was a dragon! She looked shocked and tried to explain herself, but she realised that he was right. She wanted to apologise to Spike, but she knew that he didn't want to hear it. He had walked out of the apartment so angry, even the ruler of Tartarus would stop and double check. That was the last time he spoke to them as a whole group, but he did reconcile kind of with Fluttershy.

A few hours went by and he decided to head to Twilight, he knew they would need insight on whatever she was looking for. He walked out of the apartment and locked it. He walked down the narrow hallway until he saw three exits, one for the elevator, staircase and the parking garage.

He went into the parking garage, and walked until he reached the end of it. The car was made from the old "regime" and actually only five cars of the model he has was ever made. The car was black, with limousine windows and purple tires. The purple tires were luckily dark purple so nopony noticed the weirdness in it. He clicked on the "open" button and got in the drivers seat.

He drove out of the garage and headed for Twilight's place. He reached it after five minutes of driving and parked his car outside the apartment complex. He walked into the "lobby" and headed for the stairs. He walked until he reached the top floor. He walked die the hall but had his head up so he saw the numbers. He finally reached door four hundren and eleven and knocked. After thirty seconds, a purple mare opened the door and was surprised by the sight of Spike.

"Spike, what are you doing here?" Twilight asked, surprised.
