//------------------------------// // Recruiting the Red Stallion // Story: Spike's Rise to Power Part 1 // by Abruptshots //------------------------------// Spike and Trixie both have lived together for about a month now they have tried and successfully recruited a few stallions, Sadly they had no pony to train them since Trixie is a Magic user and Spike is a Strategist so they decided they needed a strong Stallion to Lead the troops. "Trixie! I got an idea of who can lead our troops into combat" said Spike with excitement on his face. "Um who?" said Trixie with confusion. "A strong worker Pony he lives on Sweet Apple Acres, he is like me he is being used to work constantly if we get him on our side many workers on The farm would side with us!" said Spike happily. "That's if he wants to join he may refuse our offer," said Trixie with a doubtful look on her face. "Oh that's why I decided to wait for the perfect moment, Usually his sisters say mean things to him if he works slow Once he gets mad and leaves the farm we can convince him to leave them and join our rebellion army" Spike said with confidence "Then let's just wait and see I the great and powerful Trixie will try to recruit some unicorns so at least if that red stallion plan of yours fails at least we can use Unicorns to take Ponyville" Trixie said while using her magic to open a door. Spike waited Hours till he saw that Big Mac was finally starting to slow down, he heard what Applebloom said to him how she mocked him and how Applejack said he would never get a mare being that slow, Spike wanted to run over there and punch her in the face, but he had to wait. An hour later of waiting Big Mac was finished with his work and was walking over to the usual place he goes to cry, but when he got there he saw a purple small dragon waiting there. "Uh, Spike?" Big mac said in confusion "Hey Big Macintosh, I heard what your sisters said to you and I want to offer you a deal," Spike said with an evil look on his face. "A deal? what kind of deal?" "I want you to lead my troops me and my commander are working hard to recruit strong ponies, but we need a strong commander like yourself to train them, If you join I can give you anything Once we take over Canterlot the rest of Equestria will fall in place," Spike said with a convincing tone to his voice. "You would give me anything?" "Yup all I need you to do is lead my soldiers" "Alright but I have 2 Conditions," Big Mac said with a Demanding voice "What are your conditions?" Spike said wondering what they were. "Okay 1. Once we take Ponyville I want to be It's ruler and 2.Today I want your help to do something I should have done long ago," said Big Mac in a dark tone. "So what's the thing you need help with?" Spike said, confused "Help me kill 1 of my sisters," said Big Mac with a Giant Smile unlike his usual calm manner his face was Scaring Spike something fierce. "Okay, but which one?" "That's simple, Spike let's kill Applebloom," Big Mac said with Force in his voice "Uh sure let's go Um, kill her," Spike said, shaking slightly, Spike didn't know Big Mac had such a dark side he knew that they teased him almost every day, but he thought that Big Mac would of chose Applejack since she said more Harsher things. Big Mac and Spike came up with a plan to kill Applebloom, The plan was simple Spike confesses his love to Applebloom and while she wasn't paying any attention to anything else but Spike Big Mac would hit her in the back of the head and carry her body somewhere else. When Spike finally found Applebloom alone, he slowly walked up to Applebloom, Since he was a rather good actor he decided to do a fake blush to lure her in. "Um Applebloom I have something to tell you," said Spike blushing a deep crimson red. "Uh, what is it, Spike?" "I have a crush on you Applebloom I always loved you, Whenever I got the chance to see you I enjoyed the time we got to spend together," Spike said Blushing even harder. "Ah am happy that you like me Spike, but I already like some pony else" Applebloom while paying no attention to anything else got hit in the back of the head a little bit of blood was on the object that hit her. "Ya did a good job, Spike, Ah liked the way ya did the execution on the confession, Ah wonder who she liked, though," Big Mac said Confused "Big Mac we better get out of here before any pony sees us Grab Applebloom," Spike said in a rush. After grabbing Applebloom and putting her on his back both Spike and Big Mac Ran into a small Shed Near the outskirts of the Everfree forest, Placing Applebloom on a table and Tying her up they grab a few tools and waited for Applebloom to wake up. About 12 minutes later Applebloom started to wake up, She started to notice her surroundings her Eyes Open wide to see a purple dragon and her Big Brother. "Big Mac! where are we? and why am Ah tied up?" said Applebloom Confused and scared. "Oh that's simple Lil sis this shed was once used by the filly slasher and right now me and my Lil buddy here are gonna kill you for what you do to me every day" said Big Mac with a Dark tone in his voice and a Dark Smile that still scared spike. "But you know me and AJ just kid around teasing you, right?" said Applebloom scared. "Well sorry but I am not putting up with the bullying anymore," said Big Mac readying his weapon. "Please no! I'll do anything just don't kill me!" said Applebloom in a panic. "Don't worry AJ will be with you one day" Big Mac said Lifting his weapon up and preparing to swing Spike and Big Mac both Swinged their weapons and they smashed into Applebloom's Head and Stomach, Once the Weapons smashed into Applebloom Cracking sounds could be heard followed by a Painful scream. "Huh Ah thought she would have died with one hit oh well Spike let's keep hitting this Lil Filly till she dies" "Okay..." Spike said scared About 20 minutes Later, after ruthlessly killing Applebloom Spike managed to get Big Macintosh to help him and Trixie, After getting home without being spotted Him was Covered in Applebloom's blood he opened the door and saw Trixie Learning new magic. "What in the..." said Trixie with her Eye's Opened wide. "I don't wanna talk about it, just know I got Big Mac on our side" Spike said while cleaning himself off with a towel now if you will Excuse me, I wanna finish my Princess Molestia Comic book" said Spike running off with his Comic book. "What in the hell did that Dragon do to get Mac" said Trixie in a Confused Daze.
