“So I can play these pieces now?” Spike asked pointed to the multi-colored board.

“Thats correct as long that your original piece holds that space,” Salem nodded taking a drink from his mug.

“But if use my other piece?” Spike pointed to a purple rook.

“No,” Salem shook his head. “You can’t do that,”

“Hmmm,” Spike held his chin while tapping his cheek with his claw.

Salem smiled as Spike learned the rules of sovereign chess. Placing his mug down, while his partner slept on his shoulder.

Hearing thunder from the storm outside Salem didn’t give it too much thought. Hell, the idea of storms being formed by the ponies themselves didn’t seem all that weird to him.

Seemed tame to the stuff he knew.

Another thunderous boom was heard, this time different as if lightening had stuck the roof of the castle of friendship.

“Salem?” The Chimera stared up at the ceiling. “You good?”

“Yeah, I’m good,”

“It’s your turn bud,” Spike replied, Salem reached for a piece but another sound grabbed his attention. “What?”

“Shush!” Salem held up a finger.

His ears miscolored ears twitched, the red and black covered ears clicked in different directions. Another sound and Salem moved in his seat waking the sleeping Malo, who was confused by the sudden awakening.

“What’s going on man?”

“Hold up,” Salem grabbed his helmet and stood up taking an another second to make sure he was hearing was correct. “It can’t be,”

A familiar strain of faint notes were heard over this powerful storm.

“No,” Malo shot up her ears flatten against her skull as she recognized the tune.

“What’s wrong Salem?”

“That’s not possible. How is she here?!” Salem grabbed his weapon and powering its power cells. “She’s on the damn roof!”

“What are you talking about?” Spike asked to which Salem turned to the dragon.

“Get Titus!”

“What-? Why-?”

“Get Titus! She’s here damnit!”

“But why-?”

“Get the goddamn ultramarine!”

“A-alright get me a second,” Spike hurried out as Salem ran though the hallway as he could hear singing coming from outside.

Twilight who was in her bathrobe and fuzzy slippers watched Salem rush past her.

“Salem? What’s wrong?” Salem spared a moment to look to her.

“Twilight lock you door and stay inside!”

“What are you-?”

Salem bolted outside as the music and singing got louder. Snapped his attention to the roof Salem pointed to the intruder on the roof.

“Listen to me you damn witch! I told you to leave me and my friends alone!” Salem yelled though his helmets speakers at the red and white dressed being standing on top of the castle.

“Salem what’s going on?” Twilight asked but took a step upon seeing the lady on her roof. “Who the heck is that?!”

“Twilight get back inside!”

“Inquisitior! I came as soon as I heard!” Titus shouted however due to his large frame he couldn’t go though the door way without damaging it.

“Titus get out here I need you help!”

“A moment allow me to break-!”

“Nuh uh! You ain’t breaking my door again you over size blue berry!” Twilight yelled.

“Twilight I-! Never mind I got this!” Salem lifted his weapon up to the witch on its highest setting. “Time to finish this!”

However the moment when Salem pulled the trigger nothing happened. Confused he pulled again but nothing happened, looking down his plasma thrower’s energy pack had been mysteriously drained.

“Oh no,”

“🎶All I want for Christmas is… yoooooooooou~!🎶”

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!”
