Spike hurried into the study and located a piece of paper and he frantically scribbled on it.

“Not good, not good!” Spike said as he wrote out the message and then sent it out before hurrying back downstairs.

When he saw the two still unconscious alicorns he did a once over on them.

The mare was the epitome of beautiful, she had muscles that weren’t bulky but athletic looking, a curvy muscled midsection, the prettiest part of her was her mane and tail, having the perfect blend of the mane colors of the six while her tail was of different colors but still just as perfect, long legs, a perfectly sized chest, a shapely plot and her face was just as pretty as Cadance’s face.

The stallion was the epitome of what could be described as a hot warrior coltfriend, his coat and mane weren’t as chromatic as the mares but they still looked pretty fearsome on him. A jet black coat and a bright sky blue mane and tail with a yellow streak in them. And his body? He was well muscled, not as big as Troubleshoes, more like Big Mac sized, but Spike could somehow sense he was stronger than he looked.

Afterward, Spike cleaned the party room to pass the time, what happened? What did fusing ponies in such a fashion have to do with alicorns… the thought scared Spike and he decided to just focus on cleaning.

For an hour nothing seemed to happen and Spike sat down on a chair and waited and he wound up falling asleep.

He woke to groaning noises and he looked to see the mare waking and sitting up.

“Oooh…. Where am I?” She asked in a soft yet calming tone.

“Twilight?” Spike asked hopping down and running over to her and she jumped a little when she saw him.

“Huh?” Spike said, confused by her wary expression.

“A…dragon?” She asked herself.

“Twilight? Are you there? I-it’s me, Spike!” Spike said.

“Twilight?... I don’t… what happened?” She asked.

“You… don’t remember me?” Spike asked.

“No… I don’t, my mind is blank, save for some voices in my head, but they are too quiet to hear,” She said gripping her head.

“It must have been the shock, or something happened during the fusion,” Spike said.

“Fusion?” She asked.

“Look, Celestia will be here soon to… hey are you alright?” Spike asked as he saw her suddenly lock up and stare into the distance.

“Celestia…” She muttered as memories started flooding in, memories of becoming her student, memories of practicing magic, hatching the dragon standing before her and more.

When the mental download ended she shook her head and looked at Spike and smiled.

“Spike?” She said with familiarity.

“You remember me now?” Spike said happily.

“Yes, and also how I ended up in this situation,” She said looking at the stallion who seemed to be waking up slowly.

“Huh?” Spike turned and saw the stallion sit up and look towards them.

“Huh?... Where am I?” He asked in a deep voice.

“Who are you?” The mare asked, not noticing she was blushing a little.

“Same to you,” He said with a light blush.

“Uh, guys!” Spike asked getting between them and they looked at him.

“Is that a dragon?” He asked.

“I need to get him on the same page…. Let’s see if Celestia worked for her then maybe… I got it,” Spike looked at him “Twilight Sparkle,” Spike said.

Immediately he got that same hundred-yard stare that the mare alicorn had, eventually he snapped out of it and he got up.

“No… this happened because we used that spell!” He said and he meant to take a step forward… only to crack the ground he stepped on.

“Whoa!” Spike said jumping a little.

“Wow,” He said before carefully stepping again and he didn’t crack the ground again, but when he lifted an arm to extend it towards the mare for introductions he ended up hitting the chair next to him and it flung off the ground and shattered against a wall.

“Whoa!” They said before looking at him.

“I think I’m dangerously strong…” He said embarrassedly.

“I’d say so,” Spike said taking a step away from him.

“Alright, don’t move then, and hopefully nothing else will break,” The mare said before standing and walking over to him.

“So… what now?” The stallion asked.

“We wait, Celestia is on her way,” Spike said.

“Alright, hopefully she can fix this,” The mare said.

“Alright, we’ll need to be able to introduce you two to her when she gets here so… what should we call you two?” Spike asked.

“Huh?” They said as they looked at Spike confusedly.

“Well, you’ve gotta have names right?” Spike asked.

“I don’t know mine…” The mare said.

“Neither do I,” The stallion said.

“Then come up with some,” Spike said.

“Hmmm….” The mare went into thought and looked at her colorful mane “Rainbow… mane?” She asked

“No, You’ll get confused with Rainbow Dash,” Spike said.

“Who?” She asked.

“One of the ponies making you up,” Spike said.

“Hmmm….” She hummed for a while before the stallion interjected.

“Radiant Shine,” He said.

“Huh? Why that name?” She asked.

“You look like a Radiant Shine to me,” He responded.

She blushed a little “O-ok, that’ll work… what about you?” Radiant Shine asked.

“I think I look like a Jet Black, or a Black Sheild, because of my cutie mark, or maybe-” He enthused before Radiant interjected.

“Brave Wing,” She said.

“Brave Wing?... I… guess that works, but why that name?” Brave Wing asked.

“You seem like you can fight, and take no guff from anypony, so… I thought it’d work,” Radiant said.

“Alright, then let’s-” Brave moved to turn around when he accidentally sent the table amidst the chairs flying with a leg bump.

“Gotta work on that,” Spike said with a deadpan.


After an hour of teaching Brave Wing to not smash the floor with his hoof steps he was walking around a little lighter in his steps.

“This’ll be hard to get used to,” He said.

“Yeah, but you're getting it,” Radiant Shine said.

As they were about to talk some more they heard loud knocking and they turned to the door.

“Let me handle this,” Spike said and he went over to the door and opened it.

And saw Celestia and Luna standing there with a few guards, Spike gulped nervously and waved.

“H-hi,” Spike said.

“I got your letter Spike, where is she?” Celestia said.

“They, actually,” Spike said.

“They?” Luna asked and Spike let them in and they saw the two alicorns and paused.

“U-uh… hi Celestia…” Radiant said.

“It’s nice to see you,” Brave said.

“....This cannot be,” Celestia said before approaching the two, while Luna hung back.

“What isn’t?” Brave asked.

“An alicorn stallion and an alicorn mare composed of my student and her friends… this can only mean the alicorn spell was used, curse it Twilight! Why didn’t you approach me?!” Celestia cursed.

“I-I’m sorry, I wanted to-” Radiant said but Celestia cut her off.

“I wasn’t talking to you, I talk to Twilight,” Celestia said.

“I am her right?” Radiant asked.

“Yes, but she exists deep in your mind now, and I am certain she can hear me, and I say this, do you understand what you’ve done?!” Celestia said loudly.

“Hey now, don’t yell at her for something your student did,” Brave tried to interject but Celestia ignored him.

“Now that the book's magic is loose it will cause this situation again and again until it is fixed!” Celestia said.

“Loose?” Radiant echoed.

“Celestia, what do you mean?” Spike asked.

“I meant as I said, the book was hidden with a seal so the magic in it wouldn’t cause any problems! The book is alive!” Celestia said walking around looking for any sign of its location.

“I’m sorry! I didn’t know!” Radiant heard a voice cry from within her head.

“It’s too late for regrets, we need to begin looking, if it escapes into Equestria countless ponies will share your fates,” Celestia said.

“We’re looking for a living book?” Spike asked itching his cheek.

“Yes, we need to move,” Luna said heading back out the door to give the guards orders.

“What about me?” Spike asked.

“Stay put in case it comes back, we need to make sure it doesn’t try to hide here,” Celestia said as she left.

“What? I’m being left out again?” Spike complained.

‘Don’t worry, we’ll be back, make sure nopony comes in,” Radiant said as she and Brave followed Celestia outside.

“...Ok…” Spike sighed going back inside before feeling that persistent itch on his cheek again and scratching it, as he walked back inside he didn’t notice a scale fall from his cheek and onto the ground.


As the group went back outside Celestia ordered two of the guards to hand over some cloaks from inside the carriage and when she got them she passed them to the other two alicorns.

“What’s this?” Brave asked.

“Disguises, we don’t want anypony knowing there are two new alicorns, it’ll cause distractions,” Celestia said.

“Ok,” Radiant said and put on the outfit, even though it wasn’t very stylish and so did Brave.


Spike made his way upstairs, he was feeling a little dizzy all of the sudden and he continued scratching all over.

“Itchy, why am I so itchy?” Spike asked as he made his way to his room, as he sat on the bed he pulled out the newest copy of the Power Ponies.

He scratched his cheek some more and didn’t notice some scales falling off his face.

“Ugh… why do I always get left behind while the rest of them get to go on adventures?” Spike asked flicking his tail in agitation and not noticing scales flying off his tail.

“Ugh… my head,” Spike sighed as he felt his head and he wondered if he was coming down with something, when he pulled his hand away from his head he gasped as he saw his hand missing a bunch of scales.

“Huh?! What happened to my hand?” Spike asked before getting up and immediately being hit with dizziness and cramps “Ugh… Need a restroom,” Spike said making his way to the hallway and going down it not paying attention to the trail of scales he was leaving.

As he went along the way he continued to feel aches and pains all around his body and he wondered if he was coming down with something.

Spike fell into the bathroom, having lost at least forty-eight percent of his scales, bare purple skin visible.

Spike coughed and tried to get up but he felt weak all of the sudden and he coughed out flames before managing to crawl his way into the shower and turning on the water, hoping it would alleviate whatever was happening to him.

The water pouring on him only hastened his scale loss and soon he was scaleless.

“What’s happening to me?” Spike wheezed as suddenly he felt a bone in his hand pop “OW!” He looked at his hand and felt multiple pops as his hand became more skinny and his nails shortened into more pony-like nails.

“Huh?!” Spike gasped before he felt the cramping all over.

Spike screamed as he fell forward and felt his skeleton being rearranged and his tail began to recede into his body and shrink until it vanished.

His spines broke off and hit the ground and his feet began to cramp up badly, he rolled onto his back and saw his toes receding into his feet and his feet becoming a pair of flat stumps.

“Wh-what?...” Spike said before the pain hit his face and he cried out holding his face as it cracked and reshaped, his sharp teeth falling out as new flatter teeth came in. His face reshaped into a more box shape and his ear fins became actual pony ears.

At this point what was happening was obvious, he was turning into a pony!

He felt a stabbing pain in his back and he rolled onto his stomach and two appendages grew out of his back and gained feathers and meanwhile, his body was growing taller, and stronger.

Spike screamed as a point began emerging from his skull and pressed outwards into a point, then a tuft of green formed on his tailbone and eventually grew out into a new pony tail. On his bare skin, he felt tufts of hair growing out and forming into a green mane.

Then fur began to grow out all over his body and he felt himself being covered by it.

As he pitched forward and passed out he saw on his flank a cutie mark of a quill and a scroll surrounded by green flame appear.


As the group made their way through Ponyville they saw no sign of any book.

“Where would the book be?” Radiant asked.

“It would be where there is multiple compatible ponies to fuse,” Celestia said, thankfully not seeing any fused ponies.

“Compatible?” Brave asked.

“The book will affect mainly those who can make the best alicorns, for example, it won’t target foals and adults at the same time, rather it will merge them with other foals and adults,” Celestia said.

“...What about teenagers?” Radiant stopped.

“Yes, why?” Celestia asked.

“...We have to get to the clubhouse, now!” Radiant Shine said before she hurried off.

“Something tells me we got a clue,” Brave Wing said before he followed.

“Guards! Continue the search, I will go,” Celestia said.


A gavel banged on a desk and Apple Bloom looked to everypony she was able to gather for this.

“Hello, if yer here sound off,” AB announced.

“Here,” Rumble said.

“Here,” Pipsqueak said

“Here!” Snips and Snails said together.

“Here,” Diamond Tiara said sounding bored.

“Also here!” Silver Spoon said.

“Here!” an unnamed pegasus and unicorn called out.

“Who are you two again?” Diamond Tiara asked.

“I’m Clover,” The green unicorn mare said.

“I’m Blue Streak,” The blue pegasus mare said.

“Why are they here?” Silver Spoon asked.

“Because we needed new members to the CMC, an ah got some news, yer all accepted,” AB said.

“That easily?” Clover asked.

“Yep! We’re planning on taking the CMC nationwide and you two can be our messengers when you get back to Trottingham,” Sweetie said.

“Cool!” Blue said.

“Ugh, we only joined because my dad was pressuring me into joining a social club now that school is over,” Diamond rolled her eyes.

“Well you're welcome anyways,” Scootaloo said.

“Now down to business, we’ve found our cutie marks, now we have to make our move, the future of the CMC is at stake,” Sweetie said.

“What?” Rumble wanted clarification.

“We nearly ended the club at one point due to running out of ideas, but now that we have more members, things can pick up,” Scootaloo announced.

“So… what now?” Diamond Tiara asked.

“We-” AB was cut off as something was thrown through the window.

“AH!” Everypony yelped and when they saw it was a book Rumble ran to the window and looked around but saw nopony.

“Odd, hey! Who threw that!?” Rumble demanded.

“Weird book,” Scootaloo said as she picked it up and examined it.

“What is it?” Pipsqueak asked.

“It looks like some kind of tome,” Sweetie mentioned.

“Well whoever threw that has to pay for a new window,” AB griped.

“Yeah, I’ll bet they stole this from Twilight’s place,” Scootaloo said not noticing the book shaking before it got intense.

“Huh? Scootaloo, the book!” Clover exclaimed and Scootaloo looked down and saw the shaking book.

“What the? What’s happening?” Scootaloo demanded.

“Maybe it’s cold?” Snip offered.

“Or angry,” Snails added.

“I-” Suddenly they were cut off as the book swung open and a bright light filled the clubhouse with everypony in there screaming.


Celestia raised her head upon sensing a magic surge.

“No… we’re too late!” Celestia said as they sped up.

“We must hurry!” Luna said.

“No!” Radiant cried as the clubhouse came into sight.

“Sweetie! AB! Scoots, be alright!” Radiant said as she spread her wings and flew up to the door and came in on a disturbing sight.

It seems they were indeed too late, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, an unnamed pegasus and unicorn were in the final stages of the fusion.

Rumble, Pipsqueak, Snips, and Snails were fusing at the waist.

And the CMC… they were screaming as it was their lower halves were fused and their sides were fusing into one.

“NO!” Radiant cried trying to intervene but Celestia stopped her.

“It’s too dangerous to interfere with the fusion process…” Celestia said looking down.

“No…” Radiant said with tears in her eyes as she watched as it was only their heads separate and eventually they pressed against eachother and began combining into a singular head.

When it was over she pitched forward onto the ground just like the other two new alicorns in the room.

She was wearing a pink and white striped shirt with a blue skirt and she had AB’s bow in her hair.

She was a cream-colored mare with a mane that mixed the colors of the three mares from before, her wings were orange-tipped and her eyes were a blended shade of their eye colors, all and all she was quite pretty.

Looking at the stallion in the corner he was a dark grey with a black mane, his mane having brown and orange stripes in it, true to being a male alicorn he was muscular and tall and was wearing a blue shirt with jeans.

And lastly, the new female alicorn was a greyish pink pony with a grey mane and a blue streak in it and she had glasses along with a purple dress shirt and skirt.

“Radiant, stay here and take care of them, we must locate the book,” Luna informed her.

“Ok,” Radiant said despondently as the others took their leave.


Celestia flew through the air with Brave Wing at her side.

“Celestia, where do you think the book went?” Brave asked.

“I can sense its unique magic signature this way, we must hurry,” Celestia said as she flew in the direction of the signature.

As she was flying she saw something that let her know she was headed in the right direction.

The book being carried by a transparent being and they were fleeing back into town through another path.

“THERE!” Celestia fired a beam at the being and it noticed before dodging out of the way.

It paused as Brave Wing, Celestia and Luna landed across from it.

“Stop right there,” Celestia demanded.

“Do not interfere…” The being warbled.

“What is it?” Brave Wing asked but Celestia ignored him and fired a magic blast at the being who fired back with a beam from its horn and the blast was stopped.

It tried to run but Luna teleported in front of it and trapped it in a magic bubble.

“I got her!” Luna said.

“Begone!” Celestia cast a spell that blasted the being and it screeched as it was sucked back into the book.

Then the book fell to the ground and Luna lowered the bubble.

“Ok!” Luna used a spell to lock it back up.

“Whew, we did it,” Celestia wiped her brow and she picked up the book.

“I’m still confused,” Brave Wing said.

“Later, come,” Celestia said as they made their way back to the clubhouse.


When they got back they saw Radient comforting them.

Two female alicorns and one more male alicorn.

“Alright, does the word Apple mean anything to you?” Radiant tried.

“No…” The CMC alicorn said.

“How about-”

“Enough, we don’t remember!” The stallion barked, clearly stressed.

“Alright alright,” Radiant sighed.

“Radiant, we did it,” Celestia assured her but Radient looked down.

‘Did we? We may have just lost three sets of ponies because we were too slow…” Radiant said.

“I can help them,” Celestia said before she approached them and knelt before them.

“Who are you?” The pink and grey alicorn asked.

“I will remind you,” Celestia said before she lit her horn and bathed the three in her light, suddenly their memories came flooding back.

“AH!” The three cried as their thoughts stopped being so erratic and they realized their previous lives.

“Whoa… I-I can’t believe it,” The pink mare said.

“I can’t either,” The grey stallion said.

“How do we even go on like this?” The cream-colored mare asked.

“We have the book back, that’s what matters, come let us head back to the castle, we have… much to discuss,” Celestia said and they got up and followed.

All they knew now, is that they may have a scolding ahead.
