PrologueView OnlineA Stormy VictoryPrologue“Welcome fellow readers come closer it is I Grubber, I am here to tell you a story, not any story oh no the story of how The Storm King plunged our land into darkness.” Grubber introduced. “I know in another universe The Storm King lost, but in my universe The Storm King won.” Grubber said dramatically. “How did it all begin you ask, well let’s take a look at the time Twilight saved Tempest’s life and we will see where things began to go south.” Grubber said mournfully. Twilight and Tempest accepted their fates as the Storm King blasted them the Mane 5 and Spike made it to the Storm King but Twilight had already been charred and burnt, Tempest however was swept in the tornado. Spike saw it all, his big sister figure was taken down the Mane 5 put up a big fight but with the Storm King having the power of four alicorns there was no hope, they all retreated, the Storm King let them go as they were no longer a threat. Spike looked back at the castle with tears but then he gritted his teeth, and his eyes became red, he had a new goal, it was revenge. A resistance was formed in the Crystal Empire which was led by Shining Armor. The Mane 5 were busy mourning their friend in the castle room when suddenly Spike opened the door. “Why are you just sitting around doing nothing, there is a war about to begin.” Spike screamed angrily. “Spike we just lost Twilight cut us some slack.” Rainbow Dash argued annoyed with the small dragon. “I will not let it go, I lost Twilight too but I’m not being a sad sack now am I, now get ready for an attack.” Spike commanded with venom. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy did just as he said in fear. “Spikey Wikey this isn’t like you.” Rarity said shocked at the dragon’s new behavior. “Oh I agree this is the new me, and my new goal is taking the Storm King down for Twilight.” Spike spoke angrily with gritted teeth. ”Ever since then a war was made. Lives were lost, allies were gained, and even the most unlikely of heroes joined the cause, but why should I tell you this when you could see for yourself.” Grubber narrated. The Changelings and Dragons were alerted by Spike of the Storm King and joined the cause to stop the Storm King, a war was made between the Storm King and what was left of Equestria, it was a rough battle that still continues even with Shining Armor leading the charge it still took everypony doing their part to stop the Storm King. The yaks and griffons were overpowered by the Storm King and were now under it’s command. Starlight walked through the Crystal Empire sighing, she was the Commander of the resistance at Spike’s command of course. Spike had changed since the war had began, he became more commanding and angry he was no longer a positive ray of sunshine and was a storm brewing each day, he mostly took command over the base while Shining Armor was out. “Um I’m here to see Spike.” Starlight assures Smolder and Ocellus. “Of course Commander he’s in the throne room.” Smolder said giving Starlight entrance. Spike was in his throne thinking he slowly but surely was growing angrier he thought about Twilight like he always did and the thought of her made him grow angrier and angrier. Starlight opened up the entrance to the throne room giving her entrance to the throne room. “Spike it’s me, can we talk?” Starlight asked with nervousness. “Of course Commander.” Spike said with respect. “Why are you acting this way to our friends I know you’re upset about Twilight’s death but-“ Starlight began before Spike seethed with rage. “Don’t you dare mention what happened to Twilight in my presence.” Spike commanded with venom. “That’s the problem you freak out about this all the time and you’re taking it out on our friends would it help just to be nicer to them?” Starlight asked with an awkward smile. “Oh sure and maybe we can have a nice picnic and dance under the stars oh wait no we can’t there is a war happening out there.” Spike said annoyed. “Still not an excuse for being this strict on them.” Starlight fired back. “Well maybe if those five didn’t act like idiots the whole fucking time during that stupid quest Twilight would still be here with me.” Spike said wiping his tears angrily. “You want to know what happened on that quest, they did nothing but sing and dance like the MORONS they are. They didn’t take a thing seriously and now look what happened Twilight’s gone, Equestria has fallen, and it’s all their fault.” Spike yelled angrily. Starlight looked at Spike with remorse before Spike softly spoke. “How did the trip to Ponyville go?” “We found a new ally Sandbar whose parents were taken out and Trixie was saved.” Starlight reported with a serious tone. “Adequate job, you are dismissed Commander Starlight and remember not to mention Twilight‘s passing around me ever again.” Starlight nodded and left respectfully while Ocellus and Smolder greeted her as she left. “So how’d it go?” Ocellus asked nervously. “I mentioned Twilight and he freaked out.” Starlight explained. Smolder then began lecturing “Forgive me commander but you should know better than to remind him of what happened to Twilight.” “But he’s just been so mean and demanding To our friends, I just want the old Spike back but still have him be a good leader.” Starlight said with tears. “We all miss the nicer Spike.” Discord said appearing “But we all have come to accept this it’s been 7 months Starlight it’s time you accept it too.” “Sigh maybe you’re right but Discord just get ready for the trip to Manehatten we’ll need you when dealing with the Storm King’s forces.” Starlight ordered seriously. “Of course Starlight.” Discord said disappearing. Starlight then trotted off hoping that one day Equestria would return to them. Author's Note How is it so far, I hope you like it.
Commander StarlightView OnlineA Stormy VictoryCommander StarlightStarlight cried herself to sleep every night it’s the only way she can even show emotion anymore. She remembered the day well when her whole world shattered before her eyes. Starlight opened up the door to Twilight’s castle she was relieved to see The Mane 5 and Spike but she grew concerned when she saw no Twilight, Spike being in tears didn’t help matters. “Where’s Twilight?” Starlight asked frightened. “Evacuate the citizens to The Crystal Empire, Twilight’s gone.” Rainbow Dash said worried. Starlight was shocked at what she heard Twilight was gone. Starlight got everyone in the castle to the train and made it to the Crystal Empire. Shining Armor went to greet them after seeing a letter from Spike. “Starlight, Spike I heard what happened, I’m so sorry for what happened to Twilight.” Shining Armor said with tears. Shining Armor then glared at the Mane 5. “I heard what you five did and I am very angry at what you did to Twily you should all be ashamed of yourselves.” Shining Armor spoke with anger. The Mane 5 hung their heads in shame but then Shining Armor spoke again. “It does not matter now let us go prepare for the resistance.” Shining Armor commanded. The day Starlight became Commander was a good day for her but it was still a painful reminder of how she lost Twilight and to an extent Spike. “I promise to save Equestria Twilight and Spike too.” Starlight promised to the night sky who she meant to be Twilight.
Grogar’s BellView OnlineA Stormy VictoryGrogar’s BellSunburst was researching, Spike sent him to make sure he would research any magical artifacts that could help beat the Storm King. Spike then walked in. “Ah Sunburst, slow as ever I see.” Spike angrily stated. “Spike give me a break I’m researching the best I can.” Sunburst said stressfully. “Well do it faster, the faster the research is done the faster the Storm King suffers in my palm.” Spike proclaimed with a smirk. “Spike aren’t you taking your rage too far?” Trixie asked annoyed walking into the room making Spike glare at the magician. "Excuse you, I don't think I am, The Storm King took Twilight and burnt her alive and now it's my turn to take everything from him and oh it will feel so good as I watch him beg for mercy." Spike said with sadistic glee. "Isn't that-" Sunburst asked hastily before Spike cut him off. "Sadistic, why yes it is but he deserves it he will pay." Spike said walking off. "Wait Spike, I found something Grogar's bell, it can absorb magic and give magic to the user." Sunburst said excitedly. "Ha ha at last vengance will be mine, mwahahhahahahahahhahahahahha." Spike laughed maniacally. "And peace will be restored to Equestria." Trixie adds stoically. "Yes that too now if you'll excuse me I gotta take care of something." Spike said. Spike went to his bedroom and got out a picture of Twilight. "Don't worry Twilight I'll get to the bottom of this, I promise." Spike said tearfully. Spike then walked the halls and began to sing "I will make you proud Get the answers and set Equestria free Don't you worry, whatever it might take, I'm finding a way" Spike sang walking through the halls. "And I swear right now That no matter what comes of me" Spike sang angrily as he looked at the Mane 5. "Anybody who stands or has stood in my path, they are going to pay They... will... pay" Spike sang angrily before walking off.

The BattleView OnlineA Stormy VictoryThe BattleSpike and his troops headed to Canterlot. The Young Six, Gallus, Silverstream, Smolder, Ocellus, Sandbar and Yona had all befriended each other in this tough time and defended each other and used the powers of teamwork to persevere through the the fight. Capper and the pirates used their strength to fend off the Storm Guards. The pillars used ancient magic on the Storm Guards. Discord used a lovely brand of chaos magic and was able to take down most of the Storm Guards. Even with these combined efforts more kept coming and it seemed like a never ending battle between good and evil. The Mane 5, Starlight, and Spike all went to the castle in secret until they were spotted by the Storm King. “Well well well if it isn’t the most recent fools. I’ve gotta admit I didn’t think you’d come back but since you did I would like to introduce you to my piles of rubble.” Storm King introduces pointing his staff at the broken crystallized princesses shocking the ponies and dragon “I have no choice but to end them and now I will end you.” Storm King said pointing his staff at the group before two figures showed up. One lavender unicorn and a hedgehog. Tempest then blasted the Storm King with her broken horn while Grubber punched the Storm King in the face. The Storm King got up from that and kept trying to blast the dynamic duo but they kept running. Spike and Starlight of course used their magic to blast the Storm King, and the Mane 5 joined the fight, the Storm King put up a good fight but then decided to use his most powerful weapon the Obsedian Orb and threw it at the Mane 5 and Starlight before Spike blasted it to pieces before it could hit them. “Leave my friends alone.” Spike said with defiance. “Oh persistent are we fine you get frozen first.” The Storm King said throwing the orb at Spike but Spike shoves the Storm King as the orb hit him freezing him and The Storm King as they fell off the balcony. “I’m sorry.” Spike apologized before he and the Storm King fully froze both hitting the ground both statues were broken. Starlight, the Mane 5, Tempest, and Grubber were shocked with what they saw. “Is he- did he?” Fluttershy asked in tears. “Yes unfortunately the stone breaking killed your dragon friend Spike I am so sorry.” Tempest apologized mournfully. Equestria may have won but at the cost of five lives, Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Cadence and now Spike.
The AcensionView OnlineA Stormy VictoryThe AcensionStarlight, Tempest, The Mane 5, and Grubber had all been called to a meeting by Shining Armor. “Sigh we all know Equestria will never be the same again.” Shining Armor sighed out. “That much is certain.” Rainbow Dash rolled her eyes. “The princesses are gone and our heir to the throne Spike was also taken out as well. We need someone to rule Equestria, and I can’t rule Equestria since I have The Crystal Empire and Flurry Heart to protect.” Shining Armor states with remorse. “Fortunately even with Spike’s tyranny he at least made one good decision, it is important you read this note.” Shining Armor said to Starlight and the Mane 5. Dear Starlight, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie I have written this to you before the battle in case I don’t make it, it has come to my attention I have been to strict I apologize for that. I was merely trying to have you take this seriously after how the quest 7 months ago went, I’ve been angry with you but I never stopped caring about you I realize that now. You all are the best friends I can ask for. I knew if it would come down to me or you at the battle I was always going to sacrifice myself for you guys. Now if I don’t make it I have one request as possible new ruler, I am giving Starlight leadership of all Equestria with the help of Twilight’s friends Equestria will be in safe hands with you guys I know it. From Spike Starlight was shocked she was now the new ruler of Equestria. “I-I” Starlight began before Shining Armor cut her off. “Starlight you have proven to be a worthy mare of this honor you have saved Equestria three times and have proven to be truly redeemed you must take Spike’s place as the new ruler.” Shining Armor stated. “I’m just so nervous but I will do it for Twilight and Spike.” Starlight said nervously. “Excellent we’ll give you time to prepare for this, your coronation is in a few weeks.” Shining Armor said in some happiness. Starlight didn’t know what would come next but she new that Equestria was in her hooves now. And she would not let them down.
The CoronationView OnlineA Stormy VictoryThe CoronationTrixie and Rarity began fitting Starlight in her dress, it was Coronation Day and the citizens of Equestria were waiting for her. “Oh darling I’m happy for you and all but I just miss Twilight.” Rarity said in tears. “I don’t plan on replacing the princesses they were special to Equestria.” Starlight admitted solemnly. “Well I for one am glad that they chose Starlight to rule in their place she totally deserves it.” Trixie said trying to lighten the mood. “Trixie, they had to die for Starlight to rule Equestria!” Rarity lectures angrily. “Break it up, I realize this might take some getting used to, but I hope to bring Equestria back to it’s feet.” Starlight said bringing the two apart. Starlight then made it to the podium where the citizens waited for her to speak. “Creatures of Equestria, today must be a difficult day for you all. I know that due to recent events you might not be so happy to see me as your new ruler, and I understand why we lost all four of our princesses and Spike the Brave and Glorious.” Starlight announced solemnly. Thorax began bawling at the mention of Spike while Ember comforted him as he sobbed. “I know I can never replace Celestia and I don’t plan to, but I promise I will try to rebuild Equestria again.” Starlight motivated making the crowd become a little more joyful. Starlight was happy she was able to get the crowd happy again, she knew that things might be okay after all. Author's Note This is getting a sequel don’t worry. So time for me to talk about some stuff in the story. Spike: I noticed I made him very unlikable that was not my intention but his attitude change was meant to be seen as justifiable I guess I screwed up on that and made him a tyrant. Sorry. I knew I was gonna kill him off since he could not rule Equestria and I thought it would be a meaningful sacrifice. Twilight: Yeah she had to go out it’s the reason why this story was made. The Mane 5: They had minor roles but were still needed to earn forgiveness from Spike and learn to take things seriously. Starlight: She was always gonna rule Equestria in the end I thought about letting Celestia, Luna, and Cadence live but then I realized I wanted Equestria to have a big change and having Equestria be ruled by Starlight was the perfect change.
General SpikeView OnlineA Stormy VictoryGeneral SpikeSpike looked down at the prisoners before him, he was able to capture some Storm Guards thanks to his mighty crew he laughed to himself it was rather easy to do. He made sure to torment the fools for answers but they would not answer him what so ever so he went back to the throne room. “Gah how do I break those foolish slabs of meat, answer me.” Spike commanded annoyed at the Crystal guards’ silence. “Uh Spike The Brave and Glorious why haven’t we executed them they won’t give us answers.” One of the guards asked scared and curious. “Because I’m a compassionate general executing those vermin will just put blood on my hands and I can’t have that so I am just going to torment them until they answer me.” Spike explained with a smirk on his face. “I believe he’s gone mad with power.” Another guard whispered. “What did you say?!” Spike yelled angrily while the guards began whimpering. “Nothing oh glorious Spike.” The guard stuttered. “Good.” Spike said angrily. Meanwhile Starlight went back to the Mane 5 who she saw were very upset. Rarity’s mane was all messed up and disheveled she cried a lot missing the kind sweet Spike and believed she was the reason Spike became this way. Rainbow Dash was annoyed and she barely spoke anymore she got into a lot of arguments with Spike with him winning every time so she gave up on talking back. Fluttershy was in the same state as Rarity only worse. Pinkie Pie’s mane had deflated she was no longer the happy party pony she used to be she was now a sad, sloppy mess. Applejack was the only pony who had their emotions intact which was good because they need all the help they can get. “Well how’d it go sugarcube?” Applejack asked mournfully. “He refuses to be kinder, sigh I miss the old Spike I miss Twilight.” Starlight announces. “We all do but being emotional about it will solve nothin and you know it.” Applejack comforted. “I know, but we need Spike to be emotionally stable or he might snap to the point of no return.” Starlight said sadly. The Mane 5 and Starlight were stricken in fear for what would happen if Spike was pushed too far.
A Lost FillyView OnlineA Stormy VictoryA Lost FillyStarlight and Discord put up a good fight and the troops also fought hard, with Discord around they were able to take down the Storm Guards, but then Starlight heard whimpering. Starlight then saw it a filly with a pink coat and wings, blue curled up hair and a chess piece for a Cutie Mark. “Don’t worry I’m here you’ll be safe.” Starlight comforted softly. The filly then spread her tiny wings and flew up to Starlight. “What’s your name little one?” Starlight asked with concern. “Cozy Glow” the filly known as Cozy Glow answered scared. “Well Cozy Glow the Storm Guards are gone so you can go see your parents again.” Starlight clarifies. “I can’t I have no parents.” Cozy Glow admits with tears. “I’m so sorry, here I’ll bring you to the Crystal Empire, we’ll keep you safe there.” Starlight said putting the filly on her back. Spike then paced around angrily as Starlight was being questioned in the throne room. “You brought a filly here!” Spike yelled annoyed. “She was lost and alone.” Starlight argued angrily. “Well great I guess we have no choice then, ugh another mouth to feed well it’s worth it, she does need somewhere to stay.“ Spike said in remorse. “Wait you agree with me?” Starlight asked hopefully. “Yes I did, I’m more strict not heartless, now go.” Spike commanded angrily. Starlight left with some glee there is a chance Spike would return to his old self one day. Author's Note Don’t worry Cozy Glow’s the good guy here. Also I fixed Spike’s character here I went too far last time. I’m trying to make him likable so this a better path then last time I wrote this.
Mount EverhoofView OnlineA Stormy VictoryMount EverhoofSpike, the Mane 5, Starlight, Trixie, Sunburst, and Discord all made it to Mount Everhoof where Grogar’s bell was. “Ah I see a lot of obstacles, Discord just go get the bell and bring it back the sooner the better.” Spike commanded eagerly. Discord nodded and left to retrieve the bell as the Mane 5 discussed with Spike. “Spike we just wanna say we’re so-“ Rarity began before Spike cut her off. “Sorry. Well that’s not good enough for me, you all left Twilight alone just ready to be kidnapped and because of that foolishness she is now gone.” Spike argued sadly. Fluttershy began tearing up she knew it was true, Twilight was gone and it was all their fault. “Spike please we’re sorry we know it’s our fault and we feel really bad about it.” Fluttershy cried out. Spike began to feel sympathy and was about to speak before Rainbow Dash cut him off. “You jerk you made Fluttershy cry.” Rainbow Dash angrily spat. “Excuse you, I almost felt like forgiving you, ALMOST! But now the five of you ex friends of mine are sentenced to do 100 push ups. You can all thank Rainbow Dash for this.” Spike sentenced. “Thanks Rainbow.” Applejack said annoyed at the cyan pegasus. “What will it take for you to forgive us Spike?” Pinkie Pie asked tearfully. “It’s gonna have to be a really big make up.” Spike stated mournfully. The Mane 5 did their push ups as Starlight watched with sympathy and Discord showed up with the bell. “Yes the bell, Discord give me the magic.” Spike said happily. “Are you sure?” Discord asked frightened. “Yes now give me the magic.” Spike said spreading his arms. Discord closed his eyes and gave Spike Grogar’s magic he began screaming in pain before gaining wings and magic hands. “It’s a miracle I feel so powerful, let’s get ready to battle, YES!” Spike cried out with glee.
