Spike didn't know when he had blacked out. The increasingly familiar void was starting to disturb him. He could feel and evil presence whenever he was around his 'friends'. He was still shocked seeing 'Rarity' do that to her younger sister. He was starting to get up when he heard cheering.

Cheering? Where could that be coming from? I don't see anypony here except for me.

He started to walk towards the source of the cheering. It sounded like the cheering was coming from above him. He decided that he should go check it out. Even though his brain was yelling at him to turn around and stay away from the cheering. His thoughts suddenly left him when he saw the Cloudsdale Stadium in the distance. He had the feeling that he would find Rainbow Dash here. He was more shocked to see the thousand's of pony's in the stands with no eyes. A flash of color suddenly passed his eyes. He looked up in time to see Rainbow Dash looking at him with a smirk on her face.

"Rainbow where are we?"

"We, are in my Cloudsdale stadium." She said chuckling.

"Your Cloudsdale Stadium? What do you mean your Cloudsdale Stadium?"

"Ever since those idiotic WonderBolts rejected me. I decided to make my own Cloudsdale Stadium, of course I would need everypony's help with it. So, I recruited EVERY pegasus in Cloudsdale, and now I live here with them. You could call them captive's but I prefer you use the term 'slave'." She said glaring at Spike.

"You live here now? You just abandoned your friends back in Ponyville for this false reality?!" He screamed at Rainbow Dash. Who was laughing uncontrollably at him.

"Yes, I do live here and I would never, ever, go back there!" She then started to bleed through her eyes. The crowd started to cheer at the 'sight' of it. When she heard this she responded with a Sonic RainBoom that was made of pure darkness.

"What about your friends? Aren't you loyal to them?"

"Huh? Loyal? You want to speak about being loyal?! How do you think I felt when Pinkie repeatedly murdered me?! How do you think I felt when Rarity killed her sister? Don't even make me mention what happened to the others." She then reverted back to psycho Dash and continued with her performance. Spike saw this and left the stadium with a look of sadness on his face. The darkness saw this and 'inched' ever closer to the purple and green dragon.


When Spike finally looked up after walking for what had seemed like hours. He was in front of Fluttershy's cottage. He some how knew he would have to enter it. He hesitated in front of the darkened oak door, then knocked.

"Fluttershy? Are you in there?" He asked quietly. Even more quietly than the normal Fluttershy would.

"Yes, I am in here. So now you know. Now, GET THE BUCK AWAY FROM ME!!" She yelled at him angrily. This caused the cottage to shake slightly. Afraid of the cottage collapsing on Fluttershy, he tried to coax her to exit the fragile building.

"Fluttershy, I think it would be best if you exited the cottage before you bring the whole place down."

"What would you know? You're just a dumb BUCKING dragon!" For some reason she seemed even angrier with him than before. If that could be possible.

Before he could say anythiing else, the door slammed open in his face. Almost hitting him. He just stared shocked at what had become of Fluttershy. The yellow pegasi with the light pink mane was no longer standing in front of him. All that was there was a bloodied, cannabilistic pegasus. He looked past her into her cottage and saw what was making her so bloody. In her cottage were hundreds of small critters that would usually be roaming around her yard happily. He even noticed Angel in the pile of dead forest creatures. She had been feasting on them. The very though of her doing that made him gag. When he looked down at the pegasus, a look of annoyance crossed over her face.

"I thought I told you to leave? Why are you still here?" She asked as calmly as possible.

"F-Fluttershy? What have you been doing to your animals?"

"I had gotten a little hungry at midnight. So, I started eating them. They are actually quite delicious. Wanna try one?"

"No! How could you be so cruel to them?! You love animals, pony's aren't even supposed to eat meat! Your supposed to be a vegetarian. You used to be so kind. Now..you're just...just... just a BITCH." His last words seemed to hurt her. Even though this wasn't the Fluttershy he knew, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

"Fine then! Have it your way! Even though since you are Twilight's pet, I should see how you taste."She said mischeiveously.(No sexual pun intended)

"N-No, I think I was just leaving." Spike said uncertainly, walking backwards towards the door. Afraid of when he would turn around she would make her move. He just kept walking backwards until he was a few feet away from the cottage. She smiled to herself at the scene of a dragon cowering in fear of her. This made her feel more hatred towards him than ever before.
