When Equestria is made into blocks, ponies soon became prey of the night. The Ender-black market soon saw the ponies as nothing more than blocks and began stealing them in the night to trade for other blocks. When Spike is stolen, he's bought by Steve, who tells Spike the way of blocks.

Once Spike's time with Steve was over, Steve leaves the surface to tend to business in other matters. Leaving Spike in control of the surface. Everything was going just fine, until his friends suddenly stumble upon him.
