Spike only stood as the girls readied themselves to fight. As they charged, Spike noticed and saw Rainbow Dash using her speed to reach him.

With a use of his cryomancy, Spike iced the roof floor and evaded Rainbow Dash's' charge, while she nearly slipped and fell.

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!" Rainbow said as Spike pushed her down the ground but made sure she did not fall.

Applejack tried to attack from behind, but Spike sensed her movement and ducked, causing her to flip over his back. The two fought in hand to hand with Applejack trying to punch or kick him, yet Spike evaded her blows and forced his palms in her gut, knocking the wind out of her. He used his sword to protect himself from Twilight and the other girl's attacks and magical powers by forming a fire-ice shield.

Seeing Twilight and Rarity heading to him, Spike backflipped and grabbed Fluttershy by the arm and used her as a shield.

"AAAAGGGH!" Fluttershy said in pain as Twilight, Sunset, Rarity and Pinkie's attacks hit her.

"Fluttershy!" Pinkie said in worry

Spike then jump kicked Pinkie directly in the face and proceeded to use her to hit Twilight and Rarity like a rag doll. As Spike did so, he managed to kick Rarity unconscious and knock the air out of Twilight with a kick to her abdomen. After this, Spike managed to knee Pinkie, though she slashed his cheek midway as he karate chopped her neck, making her fall down. Sunset Shimmer saw this and said

"Try this lizard!"

She charged a magical black of fire in her palms and fired the orb at Spike. However, Spike, seeing the attack kept his eyes on the orb and quickly grabbed it with his palms.

"What the heck?! How did he do that?!" Sunset said upon seeing Spike catch her magic attack.

Spike, with flaring green eyes, redirected the attack and it hit Sunset Shimmer with fiery and icy sparks emitting from her as she hit the ground in pain.

The beaten Rainbooms only groaned in pain at being single-handedly defeated. As Spike only looked at them with pity, he sensed someone was behind him. Turning his eye pupils, Spike saw it was Sunset Shimmer trying to launch another magic attack. With his rope dart, he nailed her shoulder and shouted

"COME HERE!"

Sunset was forcefully pulled towards him as Spike kneed her and said angrily

"Mercy is for the weak, We don't train here to be merciful. When you face an opponent he or she is the enemy. The enemy doesn't deserve mercy or forgiveness."

As Spike spoke, Sunset began to give a look of horror and shed some tears, thinking the worst. Even the Rainbooms were horrified and shocked as they thought Spike was going to kill her like he did with Rover.

"Sunset!" Twilight said in fear.

"Please! Stop!" Fluttershy shouted in tears while ignoring her pain.

"Spike! Please! She's had enough!" Pinkie Pie shouted

"C'mon dude! We're sorry!" Rainbow Dash pleaded also

"We deserve this, but you don't have to go that far!" Applejack tried to reason

Spike however, ignored them and readied his fist and charged as Sunset closed her eyes...until he stopped just inches near her nose.

"Huh?" Sunset said confused.

Spike simply used his fingers to tweak her nose

HONK!

He then dropped Sunset to the ground near her friends and began to leave. As soon as he did, Starlight was freed from her icy prison and fell down saying.

"What happened?"

(In the Lin Kuei Temple)

Spike was meditating with Grandmaster Sub-Zero and letting his mind flow calmly and letting his grief and stress out of his body.

As Spike meditated, he felt a presence and footsteps behind him. He saw it was Scorpion.

"Hello Master Scorpion." Spike said

"Greetings young Ryu." Scorpion said

Spike continued to meditate as Scorpion said to Sub-Zero "Sub-Zero, I need to talk to you."

The Lin Kuei Grandmaster got up and followed his friend. As Spike continued to meditate alone, he began to increase the effects of his abilities and training memory and let his anger flow through him.

"Remember, you're doing this to make peace with the enemy, not gain power from hate. Don't let your anger define who you are or what you choose. The masters may kill too, but it's to protect their family and loved ones " Spike reminded himself

As he meditated, Spike began to let his past memories flow through his mind then fighting it. He had been hurt and abandoned so much his whole that of he let his hate consume him, it would make him no better then his opponents.

(In Canterlot High)

Spike had eventually went to school the next day and was in the cafeteria eating, as he did. He was given looks by the other students. Some were of admiration while others were of surprise. The Rainbooms were giving him mixed looks of distaste, fear or dismay as he ate.

After Spike had finished eating his food, he got up and threw out the remains and left the cafeteria.

"What is with that guy?" Rainbow Dash said

"Well, he showed us we don't deserve his friendship." Applejack said

"But what have we each done to him? I'm sure I haven't." Pinkie Pie asked

"Pinkie. You threw parties for Twilight and the other students but never him. All you did was give him a bunch of pranks and bad food." Applejack said

"And plus you almost killed him with those a few times." Sunset added.

Pinkie only gave a shocked look as her hair deflated and her smile faded and she only said in a quiet tone of sadness.

"What have I done...?"

The girls saw her depressed state and tried to comfort her.

(Outside CHS)

Spike was walking out the entrance and saw a few students were leaving for the day. As he walked, he saw a familiar girl handing out flyers. He looked closer and recognized her as Fluttershy. He saw her trip and the flyers flew out her hands. Despite his feelings, Spike gave a sigh of breath and walked over to the shy, beautiful and busty animal caretaker.

"You ok?" Spike asked

Fluttershy looked up and saw who it was "Spike? What are you doing here?"

"The usual. What are you doing here?" Spike replied

"I was handing out some flyers for supporting the Canterlot Animal Shelter, but nobody wants to help. If i don't, those poor animals will have no home to go to and might get killed."

Spike may have been angry at the Rainbooms, but seeing the state Fluttershy was in made him remember the words and promise of his masters, to not let his past and anger consume him. The dragon warrior grabbed a flyer and said

"I'll take one."

"R-Really?" Fluttershy said in surprise.

"Sure. I have nothing else to do."

Fluttershy smiled with tears and hugged him, with Spike patting her head.

"We go after school." Fluttershy said

Spike nodded and they went back into CHS. As they entered, 3 male bully students gave looks of annoyance. They were Dumbbell, Score and Hoops.

"Uggghhhh. That ninja chooses to date the animal bimbo?" Dumbbell said

"Feel like makin a little incident?" Hoops added deviously

"What's the plan?" Score asked with a smirk.

They huddled and planned on how to attack Spike and Fluttershy. Unaware they were watched by an unknown figure who rushed off after hearing them.
