Spike walked slowly up the stairs to Twilight's and He's combined study who each used for different purposes but shared a same space.

the room was divided in 2 , in it 2 sets of wide tables, boards, quill themed fountain pens, ink, among other parnafernalia you would usually have like books, book holders, pencils and paper were on display

In terms of looks they were rather similar in terms of: wood of the materials, organization and overalll design. However, the books, papers and overall documents of each were of different categories. Most of the immbobiliary ironically considering he was a dragon, was wood, mahogany at that.

As of Twilight why she would have a study is obvious. But "why one for him?" Well, there is MANY reasons. For once, remember he is indeed a Royal advisor and a direct political Influence on both the dragons and Changelings, as a friendship ambassador, as well as a pseudopolitical figure and celebrity in the crystal empire to name some of his duties/responsabilities/connections. So of course he dealed with lots of papers. Some he would rather burn....mainly Crystal empire letters. Some fans were ok others....yeah....no.

He liked to complain how he felt almost as a mail man by how much papers he was delivering for him, Twilight, Celestia, Luna and Candance on a daily basis.

He needed a salary increase...or...something

sigh he exhaled, as he shook his head.there was not much time for reminiscing, he had job to do.

"Always something to do, I wish I could Just read my comics and book it, what a bother" He murmured as he opened a cabinet and took some new paper to write in, that were already splashed with a Royal seal.

As he took a Fountain pen, he then sat on his pillowed custom made chair that looked like a royal seat with "spike" written with thread on the chair, ready to write.

However before he procedded to do just that, he then felt 2 soft furry arms coil around his neck, as a white furried face with a smile and violet lipstick kissed his cheek, making his shoulders stiff.

"Huh!?"

"Shhhh. Its me darling" said smiling a relaxed Abby, who put a finger to his lips

"Oh...why follow me though? I was just going to write some letters" he said, kissing her cheek back. Her Blue eyes and defined eye lashes blinked sweetly at him.

"Do i need a reason to spend time with you?" She gripped him thighter. He could feel her braless top, that only had her shirt on collide with his back "you hurt me dear~" she joked.

Spike smiled and kissed her hand and hestitating for a moment softly slapped his legs, for her to sit on if she wanted.

She noislessly did, and sat on his lap as she hugged him, while he started writting the letters.

"This is a very comfortable chair, fit for a queen I would say~" she whispered

"This is the best I have ever felt while writing" he said, a smile grazing his lips.

*Dear Ember queen of dragonkind, King Thorax of the Changelings , Prince rutherford of Yakyakistan, Queen Novo of the hypogriphs, Sir Gruff Of the Grifon democracy and Prince Shinning Armour of the Crystal empire, I Spike Draco Solaris friendship embassador of equestria and Direct royal Advisor of the Celestial Sisters and the Princess of Friendship give onto you this message:

You may or not bring or a key witness if you wish. Its of urgent matter and utter discretion you come briefly as posible, the information disclosed we know will be of utter importance and interest to all involved.

With best regards, your friend and ambassador: Spike draco solaris"

As soon as he finished his letter's he inhaled ans with a bursf of emarald flame teleported all of them in an instant.

Immediately after, without waitting for a reply he wrote 3 new letters, to send after, with a way less relaxed lingo:

"Trixie/Starlight/sunburst/ bring your asses over here."

-with love, Spike

woosh

girlish giggles

"..." Spike blushed

"Quite the change of tone, huh? Dear? Hahaha" Abby was snorting of laughter

"They are my friends without any political tie so its ok if we are cassual, unlike the letters to representatives, this letters are not being archived"

grin

"..i hate you" he blushed harder.

"i love you too, Spikey" she kissed his lips as his tail wagged.

A couple of moments later spike moved her of his lap and burped fire on a fire resistant box he had on the desk, filling it with letters that materialized on it, no doubt the responses of everyone, all akin to "yeah, yeah, we will go give us a minute" kind of response.

sigh

"Now we wait...."

"How long so you think it will take?" She said

"Considering its urgent a couple of hours probably" he answered

purr " You know, we coul-*

knock knock

"Every.Single.time" she complained.

sigh "come in" x2

"Hey there, partner. Am i interrupting anythin' or....?" Said a blonde Pony

"Its fine Aj" he said, while Aby merely rolled her eyes.

"Thank ya, so uhmm i know its not mah business but ive got to know...did you and her really hooked up?" She asked embarassed

"...uhhh, yeah?" He said

"Sure we did, what is it to you?" Aby raised a brow.

"Nothing its just that rarity was very mad, even more than twilight and that is saying somethin'. Did...did somethin' happen? " she said

"Uhm....well...she....I mean...I...uh...." spike was like a twig, trembling

"She spied on us, and then interrupted us mid post coital cuddling. is that what you wanted to hear?" Abby raised a brow

"She what now?!" Spike and Aj were surprised.

"Why are are yah surprised?!" Said Aj.

"I mean, I know she interruped us, but when did she spy on us?!"

"Spikey?"

"Yeah?!"

"...remember the Room's massive glass you pressed me against?"

"uhhh yeah?, what does that-"

"It was a one sided see through window. And my alter was panting and wet" she stated

"...wah..." he was astonished

"Atta boy....I am goin' to owe so much bits, to Dash 'n Pinkie...." the farmer covered her face with her stentson.

"You...made bets about me getting laid, is this what it was about?" Spike frowned

"... am not going to lie to you, we did do that. But, know that there was nah bad intentions or ill will behind it. Just casual joking and a fun way to bet bits. Honest" Applejack lowered her stentson

"..." sigh

"Tell ya what partner, to show you how i feel, I will grant you 2 liters of free cider on the house, how 'bout that?" She gave a tentative smilr

"...hmmm" he was doubtful

"Ok then, how 'bout uhhh 4 Liters?" She asked

"....fine, but only because they are delicious" Spike licked his lips.

"That's what I am talkin 'bout partner!" she smiled at him "Anyway, you done with them letters?"

"Sure, they will be here in a couple of hours tops" he said

"hours?!" 5 new voices shouted

With wide Eyes, the trio looked behind themselves and saw the rest of the mane 6 who noticing their outbourst revelaed their position gave a embarassed smile

"Twilight...."

"Sorry!, sorry!, I just-"

sigh

"Anyway, we heard everything. So... since we have like an hour or two I want to talk with you spike-" Twilight said

"about what, exactly?" snapped Aby

"none your business" she answered back, Aby annoyed, decided to Kiss spike to prove a point, their toungues colliding making a mess of their mouths, her lipstick disolving with his saliva and running down her cheek, finally separating with a pop.

"whatever it Is, I ASSURE YOU whatever is related to him is MY business, darling" she smirked, sitting on his lap.

Twilight was fuming and Rarity clenched her fists.

"Fine, be that way. Spike you are prohibited from interacting with her alter from now on!" Twilight declared

"What?!, T-Twilight you C-cannot make me-" spike blabbered

"Test me, mister!"

"Save it, he is an adult, he can choose for himself! Abby hugged him tighter.

"not under my roof, he cant!" Twilight was insistent

"who said we are staying here?" Stella said, making everyone, once again look at the door, were the alter save Aby, were entering the room.

"What?"

"what you heard, Lavander-"

"I have a name!-"

"I don't care, now Listen.

1) Spike is an adult, you are not his mom therefore What he does with Abby or US does not involve any of you

2 ) The more connection be it physical or spiritual is done between him and Aby, with us or you girls, the better. this has a connection with the volund and any increase in power or strenght is a blessing

3)We are not staying here forever, we will try to go back to our reality ASAP

4)I would use that energy in making sure no more instances of the Parasite come, whatever brought us here, also allowed it to come before, remember?, who is to say it stopped there?"

"I am getting tired of you ordering US around, Stella. I am THE PRINCESS of Friendship, do NOT test me. " Twilight slowly walked to her but was stopped by her alter who blocked her path.

"And? Am I a princess too in our world, remember? I am the Princess of Unity to be specific, I do not see what you intend to get to by flaunting titles. A show of power?, you may be me, but what it seems to me is , your reality is very pacific in comparison. I would not recommend intimidating US using violence if I was You, and I am, so..."

Twilight rolled her eyes "I don't try to intimidate any of you. But about power? you didn't even ascend. You could not beat me, most likely.Our reality is far from being pacific, sure yours is worse but I believe in my friends, we are stronger"

"...is that so?" Dawn declared

"...sigh...I tell you what, we need to install some hierarchy here, for the chain of command to be correct You may assume we are out danger, but I wouldnt relax.So, Let US show you we are stronger for everybody's sake. I propose this, until the "guests" arrive we do a... sparing match. IF we lose you prohibit what you want and we will follow your lead as you ask, IF we win however you all need to stop interfering with our...stuff"

"I volunteer" said Dash

"So do I" Said Stella

"we don't need to do this.......Dont involve me on this...."whispered fluttershy

"here we go again..., I will tend your wounds, but nothing else." Whis, sighed

"Such brutish behavior, but....she did punch me earlier, so I guess a little workout would be no THAT bad...probably....right?" Said Rarity

Abby raised a brow "...you are still not over that?"

Rarity deadpanned at her

"fine, fine, be my guest" Aby said snuggling Spike's neck

Amber and AJ looked at each other "Well, I do wonder how strong I am, and a good sweat is always good for the muscles!" said the 2 simultaneusly

Pinkie and Pillows, looked at each other and smirked as they got bags of popcorn from literal nowhere

"Count us out, we are cool, we would rather watch!" they said as they are popcorn

"So?" Dawn asked

"....sigh Against my better judgment, Fine" Twilight accepted

"There are rules, however" Twilight said

"ok, go ahead" Dawn said

"first, no fatal wounds or excesive damage. Second: if the other part surrenders, the match immediately stops, third: shard edge weapons like daggers, swords, etc or in Aby's case no whatever...that thing is, banned. Also Direct Attack to the Eyes, or focused damage to important organs or head is also banned" she explained

"You mean guns?" asked Abby

"Yeah, that" Twilight confirmed

"deal, show the way." Dawn waited before Twilight accepted and then led all of them to a small football field looking open area outside of poniville, far away enough to NOT let this be known or seen by the rest of the town,therefore avoid any problem that could cause.

Stella and Dash were warming up, they were first

"Do, give your best alright?" Said Stella who was rolling her shoulder's

"My best?, I will give you 20% more awsome than that!" Dash proudly smirked

"...then I will be 20% stronger" Stella cracked her neck

"I insist, this is dumb and unnecesary" Spike deadpanned

"Maybe spike, but like "me" said, we need a proper structure or each group will try to do whatever they want, causing tensions and conflict, and we don't need or want chaos at this moment, we NEED order" Said Twilight

--theme of the match:

"correct." said Dawn "On 3!"

Pegasus magic, thunder style: Thunder flap and Flash

"2!" said Twilight

All In, Dash flash

"1!" said both.

ZOOM

They zoomed through to their opponent, at high speed's .

In the case of Stella she used her wings and Legs in sync, for every step that touched the ground at that same second her wings flapped in one fluid movement with tremendous strength bringing her forward, one step + wing flap at a time. While her body was covered by a bolt of electricity flowing like water in a river.

In the case of Dash, she used her wings more, not mixing her tempo with the impulse of her legs. No doubt due to her own way of fighting, unlike stella who also focused on maximizing speed on ground and not just on air, made it so in this case Dash may be the slightly faster flier of the two...but not the fastest on land by a longshot, So as dash flew a meter to the air before diving in a flying kick at high speed, Stella's experience in battle, and faster speed on ground managed to dodge turning the left of her torso to the side, making Rainbow's leg pass through the space were her torso would have been

Getting in a nearer hitbox her torso was near centimeters to dash, as her charged fist collided with dash's stomach, as a shock similar to that of a tazer gun would passed through her system, and the fist dented on her stomach.

BAM!

"bleh! Rainbow felt herself spit saliva and felt air leave her lungs as the force of the punch even with her momentum forwards, threw her backwards a a meter while she held her stomach with an arm and gasped for breath for a moment, as her eye's blood capilars irritated and filled with blood.

"Too slow!" Declared Stella as she smirked, clearly trying to irritate Dash

Rainbow then spat to the side before cleaning the saliva on her mouth. "We will see about that"

Pegasus magic, thunder style: Thunder flap and Flash

Then without a moment to respite Stella threwherself at Dash who covered herself with her arms and propelled herself backwards with her wings and legs

Pegasus magic, thunder style: meteoric jabs

However she could not get away enough for just like with her thunder flap and flash technique, Stella's techique consisted in mixing voltage, footwork, wing movements, and now fists making every fist highly strong, how? in normal punch you use arm's + leg+ torso rotation but here we are adding the flap of the wings for more mommentum, force and speed, finally each jab is charged with high voltage except since its a sparing and not a death match since Twilight did warn NO FATAL wounds...stella pegged them down considerably besides....Her alter seemed to be able to "tank them" well enough so whatever.

Smash, smash, Smash, smashSmash, smashSmash, smashSmash, smashSmash, smashSmash, smash.Smash, smash

Dash was tanking the hits but being pushed backwards; she could feel each fist microfracturing her arms and making her body tremble in pain as the voltage runned rampant in her body, basically imagine you are hit by a boxer and each swing is charged with a volt akin to a stun gun

"UGHHH!"

"Dash!" Yelled Twilight, Rarity and Applejack, Worried for their friend but couldn't intervene.

Dash grunted and searched for any lapse on stella she could grasp, so she could turn airnborne for that was her speciality, and alter or not, she was unparalleled in the sky!

So she swallowed her pride and decided to turn to any tactics necesary. Swallowing the pain she though hard, then Dash spat on Stella's eye in the middle of her attack

As the saliva collided with her opponent's eye, the disgust and eye blocage gave her an opening while Stella was surprised, without hestitation deciding taking to air immediately, with Stella pursuing her in the air.

ZOOM!

In the heart of a storm-wracked high altittude sky thanks to cumulo nimbus clouds, two figures stood poised, their vibrant wings spread wide against the roiling clouds. Both Rainbow Dashes were mirror images in form but stark contrasts in demeanor.

One, Stella radiated the sun of her golden and Cyan wings her eyes blazing with determination.

The other, Dash glowed with a pure cyan light, her gaze cocky and playful

The storm was their arena, the howling winds and crackling lightning their symphony of war.

With a clap of thunder, Stella darted forward, leaving a trail of lightnjng in her wake. Her opponent countered, streaking sideways in a burst of Cyan, narrowly dodging the golden thunder strike.

"You're fast," admitted Rainbow dash, her voice cutting through the storm. "But I'm 20% faster!"

Stella flared her wings "You may be me...." she then conjured a vortex of wind that spiraled outward

pegasus magic wind type: Vortex. "But you naugh have my trainning!"

"What !?" The gale swept toward Dash, who spun midair and folded her wings tight. Her sleek dive cut through the storm's fury, and at the last second, she snapped her wings open, the force propelling her upward with blinding speed towards her enemy.

Dash retaliated, "Hya!" she collided with her alter with an upper flying kick THUD Stella's arms fractured a little as she was pushed forward in the air.

However.... zap!

summoning streaks of lightning from the storm clouds, and chaneneling thourgh her body With a flick of her wrist, Stella slowly decreased the momentun mid air, bringing them both to a stop as the electricity coiled around her arms like living serpents.

Pegasus magic, Thunder style: Thunder Bolts

She then Hurled bolts toward her counterpart, the sky lighting up in a deadly dance of power.

Dash twisted through the onslaught, her agility unmatched. "You'll have to try harder than that!" she taunted, her voice trailing a confident laugh.

With a mighty flap, she launched herself high up above the storm and dove straight down, the air around her igniting as she broke the sound barrier. A blazing Sonic Rainboom erupted, its shockwave carving through the clouds, clearing the near area of clouds and sending Stella reeling.

Stella regained her balance with a graceful somersault, her demeanor unshaken. "Impressive," she said, her voice calm and sharp. "But brute force isn’t everything." She spread her wings, drawing the remainning storm's clouds voltage energy into herself. The glow intensified, and her form became a blur of motion.

Pegasus magic, thunder style: Thunder and flap flash-Cage

With a speed that rivaled sound, she zipped around Dash, creating a cage of lightning-fast afterimages.

Dash squinted, her fiery aura flaring brighter. "You think you can box me in? Watch this!" She spun in place, her wings slicing through the air like blades. The centrifugal force generated a fiery cyclone that consumed the afterimages, dispersing the cage in an explosion of light.

However....Fool, you only expose yourself

Stella appeared behind her as dash kept rotating deaccelerating, but couldnt on time earning her a kick to the liver.

UuuuUgh!

For a moment the pain paused her body, and her wings stopped flaping a second. Next Stella grapped her arms around her neck and blocked dash's arms with her legs in a Rear naked choke

UuuuUgh! "Stop struggling" she tightened her hold and added paralizing voltage "nnnnnn! "No matter how fast or strong you are, if you are inmovilized you are dead meat" Stella said

"I give" ungghhh " I give!"

As She was released from the hold and took air as she Flappaed away, the two Rainbow Dashes hovered in the now-clear sky, their bodied exhausted but now relaxing. They exchanged a look—not of animosity, but of mutual respect.

"You're good," said Stella a smile appering as she massaged her bruised arms, the high speed flying kick did fracture her arms.

"You're not bad yourself," Dash replied, a rare smirk gracing her lips, gasping for breath. Her body covered in bruises with microfractures and nerves tense for the voltage.

"Then again, you are me...so...It doesnt count!" Dash exclaimed

And with that, they turned and flew off in opposite directions, to the land below leaving behind a sky as serene as their battle had been ferocious.

As they landed, Both Shy and Whis ran to them to tend their wound.

"Are you ok Dash/Stella?!" Earning them a gigglr as their tended their wounds.

"I will admit it now, she won" said Dash making her friends eye's widen.

"That is to say, Me of course" she smirked Everyone facepalmed "ok, ok its a joke, jeez"

"Still, Rainbow you are battered!" Shy shouted as she tended to her wounds best she knew, thankfully they were not severe but definately took a toll on her.

Twilight observed down, with a deep frown of contemplation. There was a clear edge their alters had on them but...Dawn did not have wings. Dawn wasnt an alicorn, she still had the edge....right?, is she being overconfident? did she compromised to quickly?

Applejack thought carefully if she really wanted to do this now.the idea of sparing against herself was a once in a lifetime chance sure, but... was she ready? would she end up worse than dash?, she couldn't allow herself to limp or inconvinience herself too much, she had a orchard to tend to.

With a sigh she admitted "Well, I am sorry to be bother but aahh Don't think I could tend to the orchard properly with a limp on my step so I go out, sorry gals"

"Its Cool, maybe another occasion, this doesn't count" said Amber.

"Ok, so 1:0 And the total will be a match of 3....Basically everything depends on the next one" Twilight concluded

As for Rarity, she hestitated more than anyone else, but she was a mare of word, she couldn't just chicken out. Even if the whole bravado was gone.

The Pinkie's and Spike Looked intensely at the arena

" I will go next" Said Abby

"why?" said Twilight

"Because if you two go seriously, it will not be pretty. At least with me and my alter is way more contained, less messy" she took a step forward

"Be that as It may, I..." Rarity argued

"I am a coward, now?" asked Abby

"rude!, NO I am not, I am merely not...prepared" Rarity mumbled

"That is war for you. " *sigh" "10 minutes, prepare" Abby proposed.

They shook Hands and Nodded "10 Minutes" both agreed walking in different directions preparing for the their sparring.

Author's Note

Ok, so I tried to Do the most I could with the time I had.

This chapter isnt finished. At least as I intended to (if posible) This week I want to complement it with the Rarity vs Abby sparring or "Geomancy and Dexterity vs Metalurgy and versatility" then again im working on it

Also, yes if you wonder, the Representatives are coming, give me some time, I try to make everything as "organic" as posible.

I appreciate all feedback you always give me for a chapter, like this one that is kind of "incomplete" Also merry christmas everyone!, good wishes and prosperous new year.
