(In the living world)

Twilight and her friends were seen at Pinkie's home and were in their pajamas. They were having a bit of a slumber party and eating pizza and drinking soda. As they did, Sunset turned to Twilight and asked her with curiosity.

"So Twilight, why did you want to meet up?"

"Well....it's about Flash, Timber and everyone of our boyfriends." Twilight said with a bit of hesitation.

"What about them darling?" Rarity asked confused.

"Have any of you girls noticed that some of them have been acting........suspicious?" Twilight asked.

"Suspicious?" Sunset asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Girls, try to level with me on this, ever since.........Spike's funeral, our boyfriends have been avoiding talking to us about him or what happened to him. Plus whenever we mourn him or ask of him, they don't say anything." Twilight said, trying to hold in her grief.

"Maybe they're as sad as we are?" Fluttershy said.

"I dunno Flutters, Twi may have a point here. Plus, now that I think about it, Caramel didn't show up to his funeral, but he told me it was a family reason." Applejack retorted.

"Plus Soarin was busy getting food while Lightning Dust and Gilda said they were at the bathroom, but they never turned up." Rainbow Dash added with a reluctant tone.

However, just hearing each of their sides of the issue only made slowly peace together what had occurred.

"Wait.....y'all gals don't think...." Applejack said with a dreadful tone.

"I don't know AJ, Me and Cheese were together and we didn't see anything sus or creepy." Pinkie Pie refuted in defense.

"Girls, we have to investigate further, tomorrow, we'll get to the crime scene and look further." Twilight said, with the girls agreeing.

Outside, someone was watching them and hid in some bushes. It was Moxxie, he had some binoculars on and said.

"I gotta get to the others."

(In Hell)

Spike was getting his bruises stitched by Charlie and he only sat down and tried to resist, but winced due to the pain. Charlie had stitched his arms while Vaggie did his face. He looked at the both of them and said.

"Thanks you two."

Charlie only said "It's ok Spike, i'm just glad your not hurt that bad."

Vaggie said "Speaking of getting hurt, have those I.M.P. guys said anything?"

Charlie shook her head and said "No, I haven't got anything from them yet. They must still be looking into it."

As they treated Spike, they finished and he gave a smile and said "Thanks again. So now what?"

"Well, now you should rest your wounds." Vaggie suggested.

Spike nodded and went to his room in the hotel to rest. As he did, he began to get some sleep....

(?????)

Spike began to slowly awaken and got up. He saw he was in a dark black area and nobody was in sight.

"Hello? Where am I?"

There was no response, as Spike looked around and heard nothing. But then.....some growling was heard.

"Who's there?!" Spike said in fear.

"When an innocent soul dies......one must set things the wrong thing right."

Spike turned around and saw a demonic, tall dragon that had radiated hellfire off it's body looking at him.

"Huh?! WHAT ARE YOU?!" Spike said in shock at the tall dragon looking down at him.

"......An pure soul.......who deserves no fate......must return to set things straight....." The demon dragon only said.

Spike only gave a confused look as the dark space began to crumble.

(Back in Hell)

Spike awoke and woke up with a sweat and looked and saw he was back in his room in the hotel. He only sighed and wondered what the dream he had was about. As he slept on his bed, there was a knock on his door.

"Come in." Spike said

The person opened the door: It was Alastor.

"How are you doing young lad?" Alastor asked

"Ok, for the most part." Spike answered while getting off his bed.

"Well, I have some news to tell you, come with me." Alastor told Spike.

(In the living world, a few hours ago...)

The girls were in their superhero forms and were at the crime scene where Spike had died. They searched and looked around for any clues.

"Find anything?" Twilight said to the other girls as she searched a book shelf.

"Nothin here." Rainbow Dash replied looking at a cabinet.

"Nothing here either." Fluttershy said opening a door.

"There's nothing here at all, maybe they must have cleaned out the evidence?" Rarity suggested.

As they searched, Sunset noticed something dripping from the wall. She used her powers to create some light and saw it was a bloody pentagram, which dripped blood on the ground.

"Whoa! What the heck?" Sunset said upon seeing the symbol.

"A pentagram?" Twilight said.

"Those symbols that are associated with demon rituals?" Applejack asked

"Yeah, but why would it be here?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Hey! Look at this." Pinkie pointed.

They looked and saw it was a phone. Twilight looked and gave a look of recognition.

"Wait, a phone?" Twilight said observing the bag.

"Why would somebody leave their phone here?" Fluttershy asked.

The looked at the phone and it showed a text message to an unknown number saying:

WE DID IT.

DO THEY KNOW????

NO. WE GOT HIM.

The girls were left surprised and shocked at the messages and looked at one another.

"Who could've sent this?" Rarity asked.

"I dunno, but if there's one thing I know now, this is evidence." Sunset concluded.

The girls then headed out the building....

(Outside, A few hours earlier......)

Blitzo, Moxxie and Millie were seen looking into the warehouse and gave looks of disgust at the sight. There was numerous daggers, books and other forms of demonic objects and material that surrounded the room.

"Sweet fucking Satan, these fucks are basically worshippers." Blitzo said looking at the decor.

"Yeah, but how does this connect to Spike?" Moxxie asked.

"Let's keep looking." Millie said

The three imps continued searching and eventually Moxxie found a book saying Sacrifices.

"Um, Blitzo? Millie? You should see this." Moxxie said, opening the book and looking at the pages.

They look and saw the book was written in red and there were a bunch of names.

"What is this?" Millie asked

"It looks a entry log. They must have been keeping track on who they took." Moxxie said.

"Hey wait, who's that on the bottom?" Blitzo said pointing at the book.

Moxxie looked and it said:

Entry 12:
Spike Sparkle: The worthless green haired rat that had been adopted by my girlfriend Twilight Sparkle's family, I couldn't let that little brat be near her or her friends, especially given how they were the most popular students in Canterlot High. We made a pact....a BLOOD pact that not only would we be with each other and get closer to them, but we would also rid ourselves of anything that got in our way, especially that inferior little boy. Now that he is dead with the use of a dagger Flash took from some pawn shop, we will succeed......

Flash Sentry, Timber Spruce, Gilda, Lightning Dust, Trenderhoof, Sandalwood and Soarin.

The imps were left shocked and Moxxie said in confusion "Dagger?"

"Maybe it's this?" Millie said, pointing to the table that held a knife in a bloody rag.

"Maybe we should take everything and show it to Stolas." Millie suggested.

"Are you sure? We....aren't together anymore. And i'm pretty sure he doesn't want anything to do with ME anyway." Blitzo struggled to say.

"It's better then nothing sir." Moxxie retorted.

Blitzo, despite his feelings, nodded and took the objects in the room as Millie and Moxxie took photos as further evidence before Blitzo used the Asmodean Crystal to head back to Hell.

(Back in Hell)

Spike had followed Alastor and reached the lobby of the hotel. There stood both Charlie and Vaggie along with Blitzo, Millie, Moxxie, Octavia, Loona and another demon who appeared to be an owl like demon similar to Octavia but taller.

"Um.....what's going on?" Spike asked.

"Spike, we found who was part of your death. But first we need to tell you something." Moxxie said.

"Who?!" Spike said in a tone of anxious hurry.

Blitzo motioned for the owl demon to Spike, who went over and said.

"Hello young one, I am Stolas, Prince of the Ars Goetia and father of Octavia. Blitz had shown me the dagger that had killed you and safe to say from this dagger......your not full demon, only half." Stolas said

"What?" Spike asked confused

"The dagger that pierced your body, from what Blitzo told me, is the Dagger of Malebolgia, a ruler of Hell who had centuries ago died from one of the people who took his deal. The photos I was shown by these other two imps show that the ritual that led to your death made you not a sinner, but a hybrid. In fact the pentagram that your were tied on may have glowed red, but your soul is still in you due to your pure and selfless deeds. If I remember correctly this means you have all the strengths of a demon but none of their weaknesses except for possible heavenly weapons." Stolas explained.

"So....I'm half human, half demon?" Spike asked in disbelief.

Stolas nodded and continued.

"Correct, since you are an innocent soul, not a sinner. Plus the pentagram on your chest not only links you to Hell indefinitely, but also allows you to travel across each of the rings."

Spike absorbed this information and asked the very question that lingered in his mind.

"Ok, but who did this to me though?" Spike asked

Moxxie and Millie gave looks of reluctance but showed the book to Spike, he read it and upon seeing his name on the bottom, he gave a wide eyed look and only fell on his knees, dropping the book on the ground. This left the others surprised as Spike breathed heavily.

"Spike, you ok honey?" Millie asked.

The others looked in concern until Spike only continued to remember all the times he had been bullied, neglected, abused, left behind or worse. Now reaching his breaking point, Spike got up and left the hotel.

'Spike?! Where are you going?!" Charlie said to the leaving teen.

Spike however didn't listen and said nothing, only exiting the hotel in a huff......
