"Ugh... what happened?" Spectre groaned as he slowly opened his eyes "Ah, my head." He grunted as he placed his right hand on his head.

His visions were blurry at first, but when they worked again, Spectre saw that he is starring at a wooden door.

"Huh? Where am I?" Spectre asked in a perplexed tone, he then observed his surroundings and saw that the room he is was made of large stone bricks, there is a small light at the top, a small bed was on his right, one toilet suite on the left as well as the toilet paper roll in a toilet paper hanger.

"This must be a prison." Spectre said in a surprised tone, he then placed his left hand on the side of his goggle mask to scan the area, but when he tapped on it, his goggles were in the process of recharging after the battle "How tremendous." Spectre scoffed in irritation.

He looked down on him and saw that all of his weapons were snatched away, he then let out an exasperated sigh.

"Well, I guess I'll have to bust myself out the old fashioned way."

But before Spectre could get his back off the wall as well as getting back on his feet, a voice from outside stopped him.

"Its awake your majesty." Said a male voice.

"Good, now leave everything to me." Said an intimate female voice.

After a brief second, his cell door was pulled open and Spectre saw a shadowy figure standing in front of him. Then, the figure stepped forward and walked towards him. When the figure stopped near the light bulb on top, Spectre realized that it was the pony he had fought, and it looked very wounded.

The pony has a bandage on her muzzle, her torso was wrapped around in bandages, there was a gash next to her right eye, and she had gashes on her front hooves.

"The wonderful nostalgia." Spectre thought with a mocking expression behind his mask.

"Remember me creature?"

"Yes I do." Spectre replied with a nod, Cadence noticed that his language was accented "Your that loathsome pony I fought in town." He told her in an insulting tone.

Cadence was infuriated when she heard the creature's statement, but she managed to remain equanimous. Then, she looked at the creature.

"What's your name?"

"Spectre." He replied simply.

"Spectre?" Cadence asked with a raise of her eyebrow "Do you Spectate things?" She asked him.

"Not precisely." Spectre said with a shake of his head from that sarcastic remark "That's just a codename." He corrected her.

"A codename?" Cadence asked, and Spectre replied with a nod "Then what is your real name then?" She asked again.

"I will not disclose, you can only call me Spectre." He told her in a cold tone.

"Do you even know who I am?" Cadence asked, and Spectre kept himself quiet because he didn't even bother to know.

When Cadence noticed that the creature was disregarding her, she decided to tell who she is anyways.

"I am one of the alicorn rulers in Equestria, my name is Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and I am the Princess of Love." She introduced herself.

Spectre was perplexed about the word 'alicorn', he has never heard of an animal like that before in his life, and she certainly doesn't look like a bioweapon created in Umbrella. But, the one thing he found very hysterical was when she said that she is the Princess of Love.

"Princess of Love? Ha! I wonder what would happen if someone rejects her love hahaha!" Spectre joked in his head with a playful smile behind his goggle mask.

Princess Cadence was going to ask the creature some questions but then, one of the changeling guards behind her called her.

"Princess Cadence." The male guard called, and Cadence turned around and faced him "King Thorax and Queen Twilight wants to see the creature now." He told her.

"Okay." Cadence said with a nod, she then turned back and faced Spectre "Looks like you will be meeting the King and Queen right now, and I expect that you will show them some respect." She told him sternly, but Spectre disregarded her.

Then, Cadence stood up on her hooves, walked out of the creature's cell and told one of the guard's to get him to the throne room, the guard nodded and walked into the cell. Once he got to him, he levitated a metal cuff in front of him and cuffed the creature.

"Stand up creature." The changeling guard ordered sternly "You'll be meeting the King, Queen and Prince in the throne room." He told him.

Spectre rolled his eyes and stood up from the ground. After that, the guard started to drag him to the throne room with the long chain.

While walking, two more changeling guards armed with spears were seen appearing next to Spectre to corroborate that he will make no sudden movements during the escort.

Spectre scanned the changelings with his goggle mask to see if any of them were holding anything practical that could break or unlock the cuffs. Those spears would not be a wise decision because, they are too long and it would take him about fifteen seconds to rotate it to its sharp area since his hands are cuffed. When he looked down at the changeling's back, he saw that there was a key attached on his right flank. Spectre must assume that the key was for his cuffs.

"Those keys must be for my cuffs." Spectre said in his mind with wide eyes behind his goggle mask "I must wait for the accurate moment for the stealth attack." He told himself in his mind. He then casually followed the two guards to where they were going to send him.

After two minutes, the two changeling guards have both lead Spectre out of the dungeons and into the hallway which Spectre was very familiar with. They then stopped by two large green coloured doors. The two guards armed with spears stepped forward and pushed the two doors open and the unarmed changeling guard pulled Spectre into the throne room with the other two following up from behind him.

Once they were in the throne room, Spectre observed his surroundings and saw that the place was humongous, it is an open area, there was a green and purple glass frame on the top acting as a roof and had long steel support beams.

Spectre looked to his left and saw eight female multicolored ponies standing on his left, the white one with a sun mark on its flank was almost as tall as him, Cadence was also standing next to the dark blue pony while glaring at him. There were also spear wielding changelings in armour.

Spectre then looked in front of him and saw purple coloured stairs. He averted his eyes up and saw a green coloured bug with orange deer horns, a purple coloured female pony with a unicorn horn and wings, and Alistair sitting on thrones in front of him. The green bug and the purple pony with a unicorn horn and wings were starring down at him with perplexed expressions, while Alistair was looking down at him with a concerned look.

Spectre scrutinized the bug and the pony for a second and noticed that they were the parents of Alistair from what he had seen from the picture frame in Alistair's bedroom.

Once the guard has pulled him to the center of the throne room, he turned around and gave the creature an order.

"Kneel before the King and the Queen creature!" The guard ordered sternly. But Spectre disregarded him.

When the guard noticed that the creature wasn't obeying, he got infuriated. Then, he charged his horn.

"Kneel down now or you will be blasted!" The guard exclaimed with an angry expression.

"Fat chance." Spectre told him in a cold tone.

Then, Spectre drew both his hands back and yanked the guard towards him. The sudden movement caught the guard off guard and he was sent flying towards him while still gripping onto the chain.

When Spectre saw the guard flying close to him, he grabbed the changeling by his face with his left hand. After that, he grabbed the keys with his right hand. And finally, he let go of the guard and kicked him in the face, and the force of his kick sent the guard crashing near the stairs with a bleeding muzzle, and the action shocked the mane six, Alistair and the princesses.

Spectre then stuck the key in the keyhole of his cuffs and the cuffs fell off of his hands.

When the changeling guard on his left noticed this, he pushed his hooves forward attempting to stab the creature in the chest. But, the creature reacted quicker. He grabbed the spear with both his hands and yanked it away from him. After that, Spectre pushed his hands forward and smacked the guard in the face with the back of the spear. And the force of the attack sent the guard crashing into a wall next to the mane six which made them squeal in fear.

The changeling guard on his right tried to poke him with his spear.

When Spectre noticed the temerarious attempt, he dropped the first guard's spear and grabbed the other guards spear. Then, he yanked it away from him and kneed it breaking it in the process, and the exertion shocked the guard.

The guard turned around and tried to run away but, he was met with a low sweep to the hooves, and the low sweep made the changeling fall face first onto the carpet floor with a grunt.

Then, all of the changeling guards in the throne room formed a circle around the creature and aimed their spears at them.

"Guards stand down." Thorax ordered.

The guards were perplexed at first, but they obeyed and lowered their spears. Then, they backed off to the door in case he tries to make a run for it.

Spectre then looked up at the tall green bug and the purple pony with a unicorn horn and wings sitting on the thrones.

"So I assume that you two are King and Queen here from what I have heard." Spectre said.
