Spike finds the unknown

Rainbow Dash and Flash did what they could to calm everyone down, although like everyone else they wanted to know what happened to Spike and Pinkie Pie. They needed to give some space for them to breath as both seem exhausted.

Once everyone calmed down. Twilight came forward, "alright from the top you too. What happened in wherever you were."

"Well Twilight, me and Spike we in what is called the Mirror Pond realm or a world between worlds. Where things unwanted in the multi-universe or creations of the Mirror Pond that are returned to end up in with no way out. But we found another full actually pony version of you Twilight and she was so cool with how she seemed to be like a-" as Pinkie started to ramble off subject, Spike spoke up, "Pinkie... you're getting off track and didn't explain some things. So Twilight what happen at first was-"

*read past chapters for what Spike said*

------------------‐------------------------------------------

We cut to back where we last lift off with Spike and Pinkie. Spike and Pinkie are running to a strange glass town with humans? Dragons? Yaks? And so many other strange but similar people to Spike and Pinkie know of. Spike looks up at the huge glass bear like thing although bear wouldn't be the only word that could be use to describe it.

Spike then jumps up and glides in the air in the face of this beast and blasts his flame breath trying to melt the beast. The glass starts to glow as the creature screams in pain. The beast strikes at Spike with its huge paw slamming Spike into the pond and he gets thrown back up like the floor of glass was a trampoline and then gripped Spike with one paw trapping Spike in its grip.

Pinkie looks around for a spot as fast as she could and found a spot to hide her two new daughters as she rushes in blasting a party Cannon at the beast making look at her with annoyance. As the beast lifts its leg to step on Pinkie to make her a pancake.

Purple magic grips to the leg holding it up away from Pinkie. Pinkie looks over to see a horse with a horn that glows seemly holding up the leg away from her.

Pinkie then runs up the leg and uses her all her strength to try and break the creatures arm holding Spike. Spike feeling it lose it's grip. Let's out a the biggest breath attack of flames he could and the creature the screams out in pain as it vanishes.

Spike and Pinkie started falling both shocked hug each other as they fell. Before feeling a strange energy grip them and help them come down calmly to the ground.

"Well thank you both for trying to help. Trying to attack a Sentinel of the Mirror Pond would not make it go away.. it's even questionable if it's possible for those things to be defeated. Anyway my name is Twilight... from universe 5749-E45 code 01. Also known as the mutated Universe. Or one of its many copies."

Spike and Pinkie looks at this Twilight confused. Just how big was the multiverse and just why is she a full on horse? While many more questions where running through their heads. Pinkie While listening went to get both Diamonmia Pie and Aurora Borlis Pie from their hiding spot when They saw a Pinkie Pie Clone holding Diamonmia Pie by the neck while having a foot on top of Aurora Borlis Pie. She Smiles at Pinkie Pie with the sharpest shark like teeth and eyes pure black.

"Well, Well WELL WELL! If it isn't the coward who made us... Nice you new weak children you have here. It would be-" As the clone taunts. Spike rams into her making her drop Diamonmia as Pinkie catches her daughter. As Spike is now wresting with the Pinkie Pie clone.

The clone in rage fights back as Twilight tries to interfere with her magic. Pinkie Pie stops her, "Me and Spike can handle this. Can you please heal and check on my daughters."

Twilight nods her head. Making sure going over the wounds on both kids. Both where not greatly harmed. Just some cuts and bruises from the clone. Pinkie Pie rushes in joining Spike in wresting as she tries to trip the clone. The clone dodges with ease and gets slammed to the ground by Spike. The clone strength rivals that of Pinkies and both are neck and neck.

"Always being the one LOVED AND HELPED BY THOSE AROUND YOU AREN'T YOU!" The clone screams rage as she gets the upper hand and punches Pinkie Pie in the jaw, "YOU HAD EVERYTHING AND CREATED ME BECAUSE YOU COULDN'T DEAL WITH YOUR OWN PROBLEMS! NOW MY MEAN EXISTANCE IS HATED! FOR BEING A COPY OF YOU!"

Spike grapples the clone from the back trying to get her off of Pinkie as Pinkie gets back up from the hit to the jaw. She then looks into the eyes of the clone dead on as she punches her in the gut, "Enough! You can hate me, you can attack me all you WANT! BUT MESS WITH MY DAUGHTERS! AND YOU ARE GROUNDED! YOUNG LADY!"

The clone then picks up Spike and throws him over herself trying to hit Pinkie Pie with him but she dodges then Pinkie goes in and hugs the clones, "that includes you too. You are my daughter."

"What! No I am not! I am just your MERE COPY-", The raging clone tries to push her off and punches Pinkie Pie in the gut multiple times, each hit slowly getting weaker, "I am not... you.. Why... Just WHY!?"

"Because... I am truly sorry for what happened. I was a careless kid when it happened and no one other than me understood the details of the Pond... I should have done more, but I didn't... Because I didn't know how the stupid Pond works and was careless. I am sorry for that... The others are just filled with hatred and seem soulless now, but when looking into your eyes... I see what are I saw in both Diamonmia and Aurora Borlis. A soul still their but dying without hope... The others are just shells of rage, but I can see that you still have a little light that is just enough... That I want to at least try saving one last person that is my responsibility for existing. Please let me show you that you are wanted." Pinkie Pie lets out her regrets as she cries along side the clone.

The Clone tries pushing her away but Pinkie would not let go. Pinkie did not want to fail another soul in need of hope. She learned that from Sunset that the act of Mercy takes time and that it is hard. But it is worth the energy and time to do so. The Clone stops resisting as Twilight comes up and well tries to put a hoof on Pinkie's shoulder, but fails touching her side.

"Well your kids are fine, and well although I expected this fellow clone child of yours to be a lot harder to handle. You always did have a way with kids... Along with good friends willing to help out." Twilight as she looks over at Spike and gets him some aid for his wounds from the fight. Pinkie Pie isn't an Earth blood for nothing.

Spike then stands up after being healed as he goes and picks up the kids for Pinkie Pie. He heads over to her and Twilight from whatever world and asks, "So your not a clone? Also the kids called that thing you called a 'Sentinel' of the Mirror Pond. They had a different name for it, The 'Shatter Mirror Beast'. Why are their two different names for it? What is this place and how many more are their of these beasts, sentinels? whatever they are called."

"Ah no problem Spike. These are not to complex questions. One no I am not a clone, I am what is called a world hopper and my universe I come and go from as I please, but I have decided to stay here to help those who have lost their worlds that have no were to go or even clones as well if they ever leave the world borders they are from. They do have the right name as the Mirror Pond coded it into their minds for them to know the one of our area zone. To explain their are series of area zones for sections of 7 total. For series of different universes and the name of the Sentinel would be the one known as Shatter Mirror Beast. Each one wakes up during different types to clear up space within memory of the Mirror Pond from things of it's creations from across the multiverse. For the Mirror Pond is one of the few things that is a constant for all worlds. But it still has a limit and so the Sentinels wake up at special times to clear up space within it. As still has limit to how much it can hold. Though it will not attack creatures or people doesn't matter if human or pony. That are living here as we don't take up space unless with attack the Sentinels then we are seen like a virus that needs to be removed. I stay here to protect those who have no where to go. any other questions." Twilight went on a full on break down of the subjects Spike asked.

Spike nods his head as Pinkie Pie goes next as she continues to hug her clone with shark teeth although the Clone is still mad and struggling to fight back from the kindness, "OH OH I have a FEW! One howisitpossibleformycloneswhengiventheirownnamestranform? Two howdoesonetravelbetweenworldsthroughthemirrorpond? Three Whatmakesyourworld-" Twilight cuts in, "One your kids that were clones that you name are no longer clones. As you gave them their own identity the Mirror Pond as the partner in a sense acknowledged your choice to name them draining itself of the data of the clones and transferring life essence into the kids making them the proper age they would be. Plus taking a copy of the DNA code of the person naming them and the one who originally created them to create the kids new bodies. Although with how you named them and created the clones, I didn't expect them to look as strange as they do as they should have a little more traits from you with details to still make both girls stand out from you at least. Second, It's actually fairly easy for someone with magic, but harder for an Earth- human pony? Sorry I never seen a world before yet with aspects of both human and pony world co-existence before. I would say Spike here can pull it off for you with his dragon magic although. If you have it. While what makes my world different is that my magic from my world is 10x stronger than other worlds making so even like of those of Trixie can travel between worlds easily. All my friends and my Spike are world hoppers. Off doing who knows right now, but we stay in touch."

Pinkie Pie blushes as she nods her head understanding things and spikes grows wider as she looks at Spike who is also blushing, "Pinkie... No.."

"Please Please Please Please Please!" as Pinkie Pie continues to beg Spike who looks at her confused why she wants it so much, "But why Pinkie?! Won't you want to I don't know ask Cheese Sandwich to name your third clone child so she can have a mix set of traits with the person you have a crush on?!"

"HEY I DON'T WANT TO BE HER DAUGHTER!" The clone said in clear denial as Pinkie Pie smirks, "I do find him cute... But I think after seeing my first two wonderful daughters look so lovely from being named by you Spiky. I want my first three daughters to have consistence when it comes to DNA and looks."

"wait are you saying..." Spike begins to ask now confused but wants to hear from her mouth what he thinks she is implying. Before Twilight calls for them both, "Hey can you come into my place for a second so I can go over somethings over with you too flirts!"

"We are not dating!" Both Spike and Pinkie Say, but Spikes knows for a fact her heard Pinkie Pie say something under her breath as she runs on in with her clone being hugged all this time and Spike still with both Diamonmia and Aurora Borlis in hand who are both smiling at him, "I have a feeling you both want to tease me don't you."

both kids giggle as Spike comes in and sees that Pinkie put the clone to the side asking her to hold her siblings while they decide a name for her. The clone wanted to protest but Spike hands her the kids knowing full well what Pinkie has planned with this. Both of them head into an office room with a desk and chair enough for everyone to have a place to sit. As everyone sits down Spike speaks up, "Ok can you tell us how to get out of here? Also does from what you have implied... Is the Mirror Pond alive?"

"Yes, it's should be easy for you Spike, all you need to do is to breath a blue flame of fire or whatever color of flame of the world you came from into the pond to make a gateway open. Simple as that. As for the second question, yes and no... The Mirror Pond is more like what humans call an advance AI... While alive in someway when it comes to thinking and logic. It has no soul. Leaving it in a state of inconsistences. In moments like when you name a clone that shows a sign of kindness and understanding of the worth of life and freedom to exist. While in other moments like when creating things such as the first Sirens. It seems like it has no care for the results of what it creates other then filling a 'need'." Twilight goes over the details when Pinkie asks, "What do you mean a 'need'?"

"Well the Mirror Pond at first when creating things, didn't need someone else to create. One of the first things the Mirror Pond made in order to attract life in the world to the Pond where the Sirens. That was their job to bring people to the Pond. So it may study the life outside it's realm. It's does things for mere wanting of knowledge like that of a program, but without a function. Still wanting a reason to work. Sure you can say that wanting something could be shown as alive, but time and time again. I have seen the Pond show no care for what the choices end result is. All it's end goal is. Is to make sure it's always working on something. That's it. It needs something to work. So to fill that need it made things to make things happen." Twilight goes over the details although it sounds alive, at the same time it does not.

Spike then speaks, "Well thanks for the information, I have one question... Do you know anything about who would want to invade other worlds that has an evil dragon who would know about the powers of the Mirror Pond? Who would know to use flame breath to make gates between worlds open along with using a Mirror stone to send me and Pinkie here?"

Twilight nods her head at the details of the question. Understanding that their are other evil versions of all Equestria people, but the info did break down the list... To dragons, those who can use magic and know about the full power of the Mirror Pond... That leaves a handful of possible choices but before she could speak. A roar was heard outside of the Sentinel...

"WHAT! The SENTINEL Shouldn't be waking up for another few years! WHY IS IT AWAKE AGAIN!?" Twilight panics as she runs outside knowing she needs to defend her people. Spike and Pinkie nod at each other knowing people and the kids where at risk. Spike as they both run out speak to the clone, "Stay here and hide with the kids! Me and others will deal with this! Please stay safe!"

The clone just nods her head as the two girls stay behind her, scared. The clone as Spike and Pinkie head out asks, "Why do you two just trust me? I hurt you? I hurt your family..."

"... Mama wants to give you a chance and she wants to love you.. So I want to as well." Aurora Borlis tells as Diamonmia goes next, "Besides, Uncle Spike is giving you his trust with us... So we are family then aren't we?"

Going head first Spike uses his fire breath to the same color as the pond below of Red to cause a gate to appear making the creature lose it's footing and leg as it falls over. Twilight is making so all the different Applejacks, Pinkie Pies, Spikes etc. That have been out in the open get to safety and cover from the danger. Pinkie Pie fires out about 20 party cannons at once into the face of the fallen beast. It then retaliates as it swings it's arm breaking multiple of the cannons and some building as it misses Pinkie with it's first attack but then grapples her in the air. Twilight comes to try and help but her magic starts being blocked by an anti magic field. Twilight is then knocked to the ground out cold. Spike who has been continues trying to sink the beast into the other world seeing that it turns to dust as it does, knows that at this rate Pinkie will be crushed. Spike is about to stop, but the clone comes into the fight and slams her fists into the eyes of the beast as it looses it's grip on her. Saving Pinkie as she gets enough space to blast the creature with her mini cannon causing her to be dropped to the ground.

Spike the finishes making the gate big enough as he pulls the creature without legs with all he got with Pinkie and her daughter pushing with all their strength before it can fight back into the hole. Dusting to nothing. Pinkie Pie hugs her clone as the clones like, "yeah, yeah... Stop please. you have HUGGED ME TO MUCH TODAY MAMA!"

She blushes more at what she just said when Spike laughs and said, "well you are just as feisty but more nice then people think Shark Pie aren't you?"

She starts to glow at that and she glares at Spike as she turns into a nicer looking 5 year old. With Pjs of an ocean blue with a shark with a pink hat on it. Her skin more purple with her mothers blue eyes and a bright seaweed green. Having black instead of white for her eyes and a lovely shark teeth still that are a lot more clean. Shark Pie goes and starts cutely hitting Spike mad as he picks her up signing, "I should not have said it like that..."

"AHAHAHAH! Well At least now my three daughters have a wonderful father figure." Pinkie Pie teases him, as both Aurora Borlis and Diamonmia question, "But we thought he was our uncle? Also what's a father?"

"Well while I love to have seeing the silly family bond you guys have. I think with what just happened. I can say who for sure did all this." Twilight who had been healed by a Starlight got up and walked up to them, "This was 100% the work of one of the evil Spikes of the multiverse."

"Well I think that's enough drama for now. Thanks, I have some parenting to do and college life to manage back home so, Spike let's go and thanks. by the way other Twilight!" Pinkie Pie explains clearly done with all that happened now and wants to focus on being a mother.

Spike and the three kids after giving Farwell to all the clones and people of the small town. While Spike was also weirded out by a male and female versions of him making out. So weird the idea in general that Spike never again wants to think about dating a female version of himself Makes breaths his breath weapon and both him and Pinkie Pie jump down the gate back to home.

"Well Well you escaped sooner than planned... Oh well... Nothing I expect less from another me." A figure watching them laughs out as he vanishes into the dark of the Pond.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Spike and Pinkie explain all this after running into Big Mac and the others after traveling through the Evergreen forest, but leaving out the parts about Spike basically being the DNA father of the kids. Spike is still annoyed at Pinkie for that. Pinkie knows this and seems to want to use it to make fun of him or something. While Pinkie is thinking about who she wants in life now more seriously then before. She has a few guys on that list that should would date and Spike was on that list. She hopes he can tell.

Twilight nods her head, "Well this helps a lot actually. Now we know just what threat we are dealing with and that this evil Spike knows more then we do about the Multiverse making him a huge threat."

"Not only that if he could mess with the logic code of the Sentinel Beast of the Mirror Pond to make it appear by what was implied. This evil Spike may be as dangerous as an evil Twilight." Shining Armor explains.

Everyone signs as this has been a headache of a start of the college year. AppleBloom speaks up, "Well I don't know about y'all, but I need to hit the hay after that and learning well Pinkie's a mother now! I was for sure I was going to be an aunt before that happened when applejack finally asks out-" Applejack covers her sisters mouth before nodding her head, "y'all heard her, It's late and we should all hit the hey in my honest option. Night!"

Slowly after AppleJack, AppleBloom and Big Mac leave. Everyone in groups head home to go and get sleep. Until it was only Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Spike left with the kids.

"thanks Twilight for letting me stay here with the kids as I need to make arrangements now with having three kids on hand for a nicer space to live." Pinkie Pie Smiles has happily as ever.

Twilight smiles back as she gives Pinkie Pie the safest guest room in her place, "Of course, you are one of my best friends. I know it will be hard on you to figure things out and I want to help. So take all the time you need. Good night!"

As Twilight closes the door to let Pinkie Pie be with her kids. She turns and smirks at Spike, "Twilight... What is going through your head?"

"Spike I did note that the kids seem to have more dragon traits then a earth blood should have~!" Twilight gave the biggest grin.

Spike signs, "Look she likes Cheese. Two I am into Rarity, or even Applejack would be fun to date. I know the multiverse exists that I could end up dating anyone with all the possible outcomes, but Pinkie? She has an energy and aura that I would one just drag down. Two, I think she would be happy with Cheese Sandwich. Three I am more probably going to date Rarity, Applejack or somehow maybe even Gabby. Pinkie Pie will probably choose someone like Cheese or Big Mac."

"You didn't say you weren't interested in that timeline of where you and Pinkie got together~." Twilight does an older sister tease. She knows that Spike has a lot more on his mind then love, but this is just a way to bring a little hope to Spike. As he has been hard on himself as of late. Twilight can tell. After all. He got it from her as her bond to Spike is just like Shining with her. He is her LBBFF, Little Brother Best Friend Forever. Spike then smiles as he hugs his sister. Heads to bed as does Twilight.
