Destruction
Fire; a lovely warmth that surrounds this village, its green color dancing around beautifully. I felt warm looking at the flames... but I'd be lying if I said that my heart was content. No, behind the glorious green glow of flames is a broken, mentally unstable dragon. I know it’s true... I've descended into madness. Madness is not as everyone thinks it is. I don't know, I've always been different. Anyways, I feel as if I am free, as if reality was just holding me back from being happy. Reality is what has chained me and made me suffer for years. It was time to let go of the pain that I had once refused to leave.
And I did.
As I did, I have come to many realizations; one of them being that everypony is planning to get rid of me and anypony who gets in their way. It was clear when they all called me an animalistic beast that they were going to treat me as such. They'd either cage me or kill me. And if anypony tried to stop them... they'd do the same to them. It made sense. I heard somepony say that I should've done it. I should've died. And although I agree with them... it doesn't mean that Twilight does. She's all I've ever had. Although she has made so many mistakes and has hurt me so much, she loves me. I can tell she does... the look she gave me when she used to tuck me into bed, how proud she would sound whenever I achieved even the smallest of goals.
Then harmony happened. We had our bond, but she didn't know harmony and friendship until she met her friends. "I'm going out with my friends" she'd tell me as she was walking to go to a picnic while I was cleaning a library that nopony visited unless they had a problem for Twilight to handle. She never said 'our' friends... even when talking to me alone. And it's true, they were her friends. Fluttershy almost never spoke to me, Rainbow Dash hardly acknowledged me, Rarity was just pulling my strings like a puppet, Pinkie Pie never really tried to make me smile and Applejack ignored me even after I saved her life. Twilight worked me to death, but at least I existed to her. She is really the only thing I have.
Oh, I'm sorry, the one 'Spike' had. He died with my sanity, so once that part of me was gone, I was completely lost. Until I met my friends. My real friends.
What are you waiting for my friend?
One was named Confidence.
Yes... why wait? I haven't seen any blood spill yet.
Another was Darkness.
It's okay Spike, go ahead and do your thing. You'll be okay.
The last was Hope.
Well, at least that's what I called them and they didn't seem to mind. I've had many conversations with them. They always support me no matter what. They are real friends. Something I've always dreamed of having.
I listened to the terrified shrieks of ponies, foals crying and ponies falling. The smoke filled my nose as it rose in front of me as what was once the homes of many ponies turned to ash by my fire. Dropped items littered the ground. I had also torn down a few food stands and buildings in my rage. I frowned as I heard ponies calling me a monster and a beast. They were lucky I didn't burn them alive.
"Spike!" I heard a familiar voice yell.
"Leave me alone Twilight." I growled, turning towards the heartbroken mare.
"But Spike-"
"Spike!? Heh... I'm sorry to disappoint you Twilight, but Spike is dead! YOU KILLED HIM!"
Twilight stood there in shock, her pupils just tiny pinpricks. She took a step back and collapsed onto the charred remains of what was once Sugarcube Corner.
"And he's never coming back." I whispered coldly. But by the look of horror on her face, she heard every word loud and clear.
I turned around and walked away from the once happy and peaceful Ponyville, never looking back. I'd probably never see this place again. Good. Too any painful memories of how my life fell apart.
"Spike! Where are you go-"
"Listen very closely Twilight!" I whipped around and pinned her to the burnt grass. "Don't fucking follow me anywhere and don't call me Spike. I'm going away because I never want to see anypony's face ever again and I don't need you or your friends following me! Ponyville already wanted to kill me and when this news spreads, everypony else will want to kill me too. There's no turning back now, so don't you dare try to stop me!"
"S-spike," She choked out, struggling to breathe under my weight. "We... forgive you. J-just please stop! We can fix this!"
"There's nothing to be fixed," I put more weight on her, making her wheeze. "And I already told you... don't call me Spike!"
I let her go when her face started to turn blue, and kept walking. She didn't follow me. I didn't turn around. I didn't want to see her face twisted in pain and sorrow.
Head towards Canterlot and kill those stupid nobles... Darkness ordered.
I don't know if I want to kill anypony...
You know that they want to kill you! What's stopping you from making those bastards pay?!
Celestia and Luna...
Don't be an idiot! You have your own magic remember?
You're better than her! You'll be able to do this easily! Confidence spoke up.
I-If you say so...
That's the spirit! You're gonna be fine! Hope encouraged.
Next stop... Canterlot.

These voices are interesting to me. They don't represent pieces of Spike so much as they reverse them. Confidence opposes Spike's belief that he can't do anything worthwhile. Hope opposes the deep-seated feeling of despair that he's been harboring for years. Darkness is the most unique of the three. He seems to oppose Spike's desire to protect everyone he once loved. He would also have been a foil to Spike's childhood innocence if it hadn't already vanished.
The fact that Spike acts purely like Darkness tells me that these three voices are slowly taking over Spike as a whole. Darkness has simply had the most time to grow. It won't be too long before the other two catch up and fully erase what he once was. That is the signal that he's crossed the final line into pure insanity. I wonder if anyone can break their hold and, if so, who? It could be Twilight on account of her knowing him the longest. It could be Celestia due to the several centuries of leadership experience under her metaphorical belt. The most likely one seems to be Discord because he already knows how madness works. He could use the knowledge gained from his own decent to reverse Spike's. It could also turn out to be a downer or bitter-sweet ending with Spike not reverting at all or at least not until he's already on his death bed. Either way, this looks like it will be a ride worth being on.
I'm enjoying this story so far. The first one had Spike with no one around to talk to in full clarity. This one seems to be focusing around his discussions with Confidence, Darkness, and Hope and the events that occur because of them. I find my curiosity peaked at the moment. I was already hooked from the first one, so this is just overkill. Then again, there's no kill quite like this type. One would rather end his foe with a rocket launcher than a pistol after all, right? I look forward to the next update.
4949989 Thank you for the nice comment, and I'm surprised you didn't talk about when darkness mentioned Spikes magic. Anyways, your analysis was nearly spot on!

You're quite welcome. I attribute my lack of a response to Spike's magic to three things. First of all, darkness itself is usually displayed with a fair bit of arrogance, making a proclamation like that seem par for the course. The second is the fact that I've read so many stories where Spike is sitting on an armory of magic hidden just beneath the surface that I've grown used to it.
The third is the fact that I was (and still am) incredibly tired. The beginning of a new school year always drains the life out of people like me. At least I know that drain hasn't hit my ability to theorize too much. I hold that aspect of myself in very high (almost arrogantly high) regards. I say almost because I've found two people (one here and one on Youtube) that blow me out of the water. It's always good to have someone better at something than you so your ego doesn't get out of hand. Kind of like how every mathematician that is alive today has Stephen Hawking. Okay, I'll stop this ramble now before I start talking about cheese. It always leads to cheese somehow...
Eh, I just started highschool, but it's not so bad. And your right, that's what keeps me from boasting too much about my art!
Spike's on a rampage...he hates everyone, and has become Deadpool.Nice.
ANYWAYS really nice start. A little on the short side, but there's nothing wrong with that. We finally get a look at Spikes voices. We see that he is apparently not holding back anymore and will finally kill someone( Don't do it Spike it'll haunt you...longer than you'd think) and has officially dumped the mane six as "friends". I'm looking foward to seeing what type of magic you make Spike have.
Oh, yeah. So this how begins~
Shouldn't Twilight be the one to apologize?
4952336 It was more of a sarcastic one. You know how villains say "Oh, I'm sorry," at the beginning of their sentence just to show sarcasm? If not, look up Eggman taunting Sonic. He does it sometimes.
4951932 Yeah! Die everyone, DIE!!!

Here is a fitting song for the situation.

Simply amazing, a good start for what I think is going to be an amazing sequel
4952663 Amazing song
4953926 Why, thanks.
I love RWBY. You give it a try.
4953999 I'll (maybe) watch it when I have time
4953925 Thank you so much!
4952589
Good.
This gonna be good
Can you fix the short blurb please? I just keep seeing that on the Popular box and it makes my eye twitch.
4954020 Cool.
Moar?pwease?
He's a dragon, living with ponies, ponies that do mistreat him sometimes if not most of the time, of course he's dangerous but damn, openly calling him a monster, wanting death brought to him by the ones who just tolerate him? What did you think was going to happen? That he would just roll over?! Buck no! Dragon instinct are saying "fuck you" to that noise!
Wrong story. Wrong dragon.
They want his blood, then let them try and take his blood!
Good start. Let's see how far this goes!
P.S. See about getting, Spike's, height in this. Would be interested I the (if any) changes to his figure. Thanks!
Hope? More like doormat if you ask me. Anywho, sh(!)t's getting real.
4974804 Well, here I am months later with the height thing. I wasn't really good with describing the height of Spike in the story, but if you'd still like to know, you can read about it and get a visual >>Here<<...
There ya go!
