What Spike saw in the doorway of King Sombra's crystal palace hasn't left his mind. The fear of Twilight abandoning him haunts him through recurrent nightmares. Anxiety taunts him when he's at his most vulnerable, reminding him of all his failures, all his inadequacies, all his wounds.

One night, this fear and anxiety manifests itself in a full-blown nightmare, dragging Spike face-to-face with his greatest fear. What if Twilight never needed Spike in the first place?

Takes place right after the Season Three opener (before Episode Three).

"Hey, hot shot! You know me, right? Of course you do! Who doesn't know of the amazing Eddy? So, anyways...I had this great scam all figured out, right? It was the best scam ever, I tell ya! But then something went wrong - probably monobrow's fault, as usual - and now we're stuck in this weirdo land with these even weirder talking rainbow-coloured horses. Great. Still, I guess it's not all bad. New people - or ponies, whatever - means new suckers to fleece, and more money for me! Hey, don't look at me like that! I'm just looking out for my friends, that's all - who says I can't make a little money on the side, eh? Besides, sockhead will probably figure out a way to get us home in no time! What's the worst that could happen before then, huh?"

(Crossover with Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy. In the canon of this story, the events of Season 3 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic have never happened. The events of Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy's Big Picture Show have never happened, either.)

Having grown tired of seeing ponies worship the very ground that the Princesses walk on, Discord decides that it's high time ponies started worshiping him instead.

In his very own Cult of Chaos, no less.

Spike, while browsing his selection of naughty magazines, accidentally coughs and breathes flames. The magazine gets sent to Princess Celestia. Panic ensues.

Twilight Sparkle has always been frustrated with Discord. His ability to do anything, with no more effort than a snap of his claw. It shouldn't be possible. His power had to come from somewhere.
Then, one day, Twilight lets slip how she feels. Surprisingly Discord agrees to explain it to her. To give her the secret to all of his powers. If she's willing to pay the price that knowing it all will bring.

Long ago far off in the heavens there was a distant planet called Kolton. Home to a race of Equine like beings whose prowess in science and technology allowed them to create an advanced civilization such as no pony had seen before or since.

When a series of violent tremors and eruptions heralded the planet's doom one couple placed their young foal in a rocket and launched him into space toward a far distant planet whose yellow sun would give him powers and abilities beyond those of any stallion or mare.

Faster than a Sonic Rainboom! More Powerful than an Ursa Major! Able to leap tall mountain peaks in a single bound! The Colt of Steel from the planet Kolton, Comet!

When your life is as dull a gray as the world that surrounds you, the mundanities can make it all seem meaningless. Sometimes all we need is a little color -- or six -- to reintroduce us to what truly makes life worth living.

Finally, after years of begging, Celestia gives Twilight permission to access the Forbidden Wing of the Royal Library, a wing so secret even the other princesses can't access it. Twilight rushes to Canterlot, excited for the research potential.

Then she finds those books…
