Chapter 3

The mane 7 got back to the village. They were holding each other while they teleporting. Then they let go. Rainbow Dash had a rough time while teleporting. "How come we haven't done that earlier?", she asked. "That was even quicker than flying."

Starlight gave a stern look at Rainbow. "My magic's more useful than flying.", she said.

Rainbow glared. "Then don't take the train next time.", she said. "Celestia's lucky she gets to fly and not teleport."

"Actually, I can teleport because I have a horn." Celestia said appearing out of nowhere.

"Of course you can teleport.", Rainbow Dash said with a groan. "Why did I forget that?"

Twilight glared at Rainbow Dash. "Rainbow, would you stop talking and focus.", she said as she scowled at the rainbow pegasus. "Spike's got to be here."

The gang looked up, they were really close to the storm. A flying creature flew out of the cloud and landed on it's feet. It was Javier Black. "Well, sorry I had to interrupt a party of yours.", the black gryphon said with a grumble.

Twilight growled. "WHERE'S MY FRIEND YOU BLACK-FEATHERED BASTARD!", she yelled.

And where's my sister?", Celestia asked with a angry glare.

"Drop the alicorn, guys.", Javier Black commanded.

Two pegasus ponies wearing black suits and masks flew over holding poor weak Luna in their hooves and dropped her. Luna has a scratched wing and all of her hooves were weakened. Her white alicorn sister gasped. "Luna?", she whispered.

"...I'm... sorry, sister.", the poor dark blue alicorn sister said in a weak voice. "He broke me."

The two young pegasi landed on the ground and removed their masks, it was Orion and Aurora, Scootaloo's friends from flight school. Scootaloo recognized their faces, she got their attention. "Guys!", she said. "It's me, your friend, Scootaloo. Your my friends in flight school."

The two pegasus ponies looked at the orange pegasus. They both gave her a glare to her. "We don't deal with other pegasus ponies.", Orion said.

"Especially orange pegasus ponies like you.", Aurora said as she insulted the Scootaloo. The amber orange pegasus started to tear up and faced the ground.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MY DAUGHTER!", Shining Armor yelled.

Javier stepped forward and grabbed a stool that has a bagged prisoner. He pulled the bag off the prisoner's head for an unexpected reveal. It was Flurry Heart. Cadence gasped. "MY BABY!"

The black gryphon squawked at the princess. "Back away and let me do my business, bitch!"

Then a voice appeared from behind them. "Leave your business to me.", the voice said. A small dragon wearing a black suit and mask was walking from behind the devilish gryphon and the two glaring pegasus ponies. He paused and took off the mask to reveal his face. His head was purple and his ears and spikes were green, it was Spike. Twilight and the others looked at him in horror as they watch him walk over to the baby holding a knife.

"You maybe be the only baby in the world.", he said pointing the knife at the hostage baby. "But, once I kill you, THERE WILL BE NO WAY FOR YOUR FAMILY TO BRING YOU BACK!" He laughed as the thunder started to crash once more. He was about to take a stab at the child, but, Twilight shouted to stop him.

"HOW COULD YOU?!!", she said. Thunder stopped crashing. The dragon turned around as he dropped the knife to see the teary-eyed alicorn.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS US?! I THOUGHT YOU WERE MY FRIEND! AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS YOU WERE MY NUMBER ONE ASSISTANT, AND YOU TREATED ME LIKE I WAS YOUR BIG SISTER! I WAS A BIG SISTER TO YOU! NOW, AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS OF BEING OUR FRIEND, YOUR JUST GOING TO LET THE REST OF US DIE?! I LOVED YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!" Twilight started facing the ground and started crying. Then she looked up in the baby dragon for the second time. "How could you do this to us?!"

Spike's eyes showed no love at all, only hatred. Suddenly, he glared at Twilight, his face turned red as he yells in return. "I HAD TO DO THIS!", he yelled. "I DID ALL THIS JUST TO GET WHAT I WANTED! WHAT I WANTED TO DO ALL MY LIFE WAS IN ME! I SAW WHAT HAPPENED THIS AFTERNOON AND HOPES I WOULD TELL RARITY HOW I FELT! EVER SINCE I FIRST LAYED EYES ON HER, I TRIED TO KEEP IT A SECRET! BUT, I KNEW I WANTED TO DO IT ANYWAY! WELL, I COULDN'T! NOW THIS IS MY DESTINY! HOW DO YOU THINK I COULD TRY TO TELL A PONY HOW I FEEL?! HOW DO YOU...?!"

He turned around shaking his head, then his rage burst into flames as he show the ponies a necklace he's wearing. "I WAS CHOSEN, ALRIGHT! IT WAS UP TO ME TO TELL RARITY HOW I FELT! BUT, YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS TOOK IT AWAY FROM ME! AND THAT PART WASN'T JUST IN FRONT OF ANYPONY, IT WAS IN FRONT OF ME! IT WAS IN FRONT OF ME, AND THAT'S THE WORST THING YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS COULD'VE DONE! YOU'RE NOT JUST DEAD TO ANYPONY, YOU'RE DEAD TO ME!!"

More flashes of lightning started crashing once more. Twilight couldn't handle it at all, her mind broke. Discord pulled Fluttershy closer to him, and Shining Armor pulled Cadence closer to him. Spike's brain caught on fire with anger and pointed a claw at the pony gang with more rage. "SINCE YOU DID SOMETHING TERRIBLE INFRONT OF ME, I'LL DO SOMETHING TERRIBLE THAT WILL BE INFRONT OF YOU!", he yelled as he snapped his fingers and dragged Shining Armor across the grass. He lifted him 8 feet high in the air.

"These guards are with you, AND YOU BROUGHT THEM HERE TO KILL ME!" He scrunched his fist starting to bend Shining Armor's body backwards. Shining Armor's spine and torso started to rip and break. He screamed in pain as both halves of his body broke apart.

Javier made a pit of fire and Spike threw both parts of Shining Armor's body in the fire pit watching it burn in flames. Cadence grabbed her baby with her magic and held her child in her arms, crying as they both watched the blue-mane white unicorn burn in the flame hole.

Javier Black cackled. "Yes, my apprentice.", he said. "Kill them!"

Spike turned to Pinkie Pie and darted a claw at her. He lifted her in the air. Spike rubbed his fingertips together causing Pinkie Pie's belly to expand. Pinkie started giggling. "Hey! That tickles.", she said. Her belly grew bigger and bigger and then it exploded. Guts splattered everywhere.

Rainbow Dash gasped. "PINKIE PIE!" Rainbow loved Pinkie so much, she remembered all those times they spent together.

Apple Bloom had an idea to stop him. "I have an idea.", she said.

Diamond Tiara was too afraid to let her friend stand in front of that murderous dragon. "Apple Bloom, what are you doing?", she asked. "Are you crazy?"

Apple Bloom looked at Diamond Tiara thinking it will be her last time if she dies. "Diamond Tiara, shh.", she said hushing the little pink pony. "It will be alright. Trust me."

Diamond Tiara nodded and backed away from Apple Bloom. She was proud of her friend. "Good luck, Cutie Mark Crusader leader.", she said with tears in her eyes.

Apple Bloom took a deep breath and stepped in front of Spike. Spike was willing to take the chance against Apple Bloom. "Come on, sweetheart.", he said. "Give me your best shot."

Apple Bloom squinted her eyes and took off her dress off, and made Spike see that her belly was covered in rainbow feathers. Apple Bloom spoke to him. "Spike, I don't know why you're doing this.", she said. "But, even if this is our last time seeing each other. I'll always knew that you were the sweetest dragon ever. But, I bet I can hug so you snap back into your real self so you won't destroy me now." Apple Bloom walked towards Spike.

Spike stepped back. Then he grew a sharp nail and stabbed her in the stomach. Tears rolled down Apple Bloom's cheeks, then she was gone.

Applejack's eyes started to tear up as she watched her little sister's corpse fall. "Apple Bloom,... you were sensitive in the inside.", she said as a tear fell off her face.

Then, Spike turned to Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, Babs, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon. He shook his fists, they both lit on fire.

Scootaloo ran to him. "WAIT! STOP!", she yelled. "Spike, you don't have to do this. I don't want to hurt you, why do you want to hurt me? It's me, sweet little Scootaloo. I know how you feel about not telling Rarity how you feel. Well, sure you killed two of my friends and split Shining Armor and burned him in flames; well, I wasn't comfortable with him anyways. But, it's okay, we can all forget any of this happen. Doesn't that sound nice?"

Spike's fist lit out. "I'm afraid not, Scootaloo.", he said. Then, he grabbed her by the neck.

Rainbow Dash screamed. "NOOO!", she screamed.

Spike leaned closer to Scootaloo's face. "Look in my eyes.", he said. "I want to see you die." Scootaloo's eyes started to tear up as her neck was being squeezed by the devilish purple dragon.

Then, a voice appeared. "Get the hell away from my friends!", the voice said. It was Pipsqueak.

Diamond Tiara gasped. "PIPSQUEAK, GET OUT OF HERE, NOW!", she yelled.

Spike let go of Scootaloo's neck and faced Pipsqueak. "Let's see who's messing with your friends, brat.", he said. He snapped his fingers and sharp spikes raised from the ground where Pipsqueak, Sweetie Belle, and Scootaloo were standing.

Rarity and Rainbow Dash gasped. "SWEETIE BELLE!", Rarity screamed.

"SCOOTALOO!", Rainbow screamed.

Diamond Tiara yelled with tears in her eyes. "PIPSQUEAK!", she yelled. "NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Silver Spoon grabbed her friend before she can run to Pipsqueak's corpse. "Hey, let him go, girl.", she said to comfort her friend. "Nothing we can do."

Diamond Tiara wiped a tear from her face. "I owed everything to these ponies who are killed right now... after everything I did to them.", she said as buried her face into her best friend's shoulder.

Silver patted her friend on the back. "I know, Diamond. I know.", she said. "I owed everything to them after what I did to."

Fluttershy watched as their dead bodies rot through the spikes. Spike noticed the look on Fluttershy's face and darted a claw straight at her. Fluttershy was being lifted in the air. Her wings were being ripped off her sides, she screamed with pain and tears rolled down her face. "OWWWWWWWWWWWW", she screamed.

Discord gasped. "FLUTTERSHY!!!"

Babs grew madder about her cousin getting killed. "YOU KILL MY COUSIN, I'LL KILL YOU!", she said with anger. She prepared herself to strike at Spike.

Spike took a deep breath and breathed up a huge fire ball all over Babs. Diamond Tiara run up to her and held her in her arms. "All the fried up spots and fire balls are literally and seriously so strong.", Babs said as she passes out.

Then, Spike noticed the sad look on Rainbow Dash's face. "Oh, you want to join your dead sister in hell, huh?", he asked with a devilish look on his face. "I'll take you there!" He grew a sharp nail and brought Rainbow Dash over to him with his powers, he stabbed the blue poor pegasus in the belly. He dropped her, then laughed with more darkness.

"NOW WE HAVE A COUPLE PONIES DOWN, AND WITH YOU ALL AS MY MASTER'S HOSTAGES, THERE WILL BE NO TURNING BACK!" He cackled out loud.

Rarity ran over to him and took him down to the ground. Her hooves were keeping his arms stuck to the wet green grass. "Spike, STOP IT!", she yelled. "Don't you realize what the hell you are doing? Your murdering all your friends."

Spike looked at Rarity in the eyes, then he glared once more. "I HAVE NO FRIENDS!", he yelled as he kicked the white unicorn off him and stood back his feet. His fists lit on fire once more. "YOU PLANNED SOMETHING WITH FANCY PANTS AND I DIDN'T LIKE IT AT ALL! IT'S LIKE YOU DIDN'T CARE FOR ME! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME!"

Rarity knew that the proposal between her and Fancy Pants was a mistake. She got back on her hooves trying to calm Spike down. "I know you saw Fancy Pants ask me to marry him.", she said. "But, I'm not part of that plan anymore! Mayor Mare told us the whole story about why you love me so much. But, look at what you're doing right now, you killed almost all of your friends and you're wrecking Ponyville. You have to stop this now."

Spike's eyes started to tear up. "I thought we would be together.", he said sadly. "BUT, MY CHANCES TURNED OUT BAD AND IT TORE US BOTH APART!" The fire on his fists lit brighter and brighter.

"Spike, please.", Rarity screamed as she stepped towards Spike one step. "I trying to help you."

"LIAR!", Spike yelled as he prepared to strike Rarity down. "YOU"RE TRYING TO FILL MY HEAD WITH LIES!"

Rarity closed her eyes and took a deep breath. "I'm sorry, Spikey-wikey.", she said with bravery. "You left me no choice but to do this to you." Her horn lit up and her magic grabbed Spike. She lifted him 8 feet in the air and saw a glow of darkness on a necklace that Spike was wearing on his neck.

"That's it.", she said as she figured it out. "It's the necklace, it's causing him to become evil." She yanked it off his neck and a spirit of darkness raised from Spike's head. Then she puts him down.

Spike opened his eyes and looked around. "What's happening?", he asked. Then he turned around and sees Javier Black in front of him. Spike gasped. "JAVIER BLACK!"

Javier recognized the look on Spike's face that he's got his actual head back. "So, your unicorn friend got your memory back.", he said with a glare. "BUT, THERE'S NO WAY YOU'LL GET THESE PEGASUS PONIES' MEMORIES BACK!"

Spike looked at the necklace and scrunched his fist where his necklace was. His eyes gave a glare with bravery to Javier. "So you captured me and used me to kill my own friends.", he said. "Looks like it's time or some ultimate payback." He sprinted towards Aurora and Orion. He yanked all the necklaces that they were wearing and the darkness spirits raised out of their heads.

They both turned to each other "What just happened?", they both asked. They turned to see Spike in front of them.

Spike showed them the necklaces. "Javier Black's been controlling us with these!", he said. "He used us!"

They saw the necklaces in Spike's hand. Orion took a look at the darkness glow on the necklaces. His face turned red and faced Javier Black with anger. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!", he yelled with rage. He grabbed a crystal ball from his black suit and grabbed Javier Black by the face. He held the crystal at the back of Javier's head being prepared to suck him in. The ball glowed, but, it wasn't working. It wasn't strong enough to pull him in.

Orion started to get frustrated. "It's not strong enough.", he said. "It doesn't have enough power to suck him in!"

An idea came to Spike's head. "I have an idea!", he said. "Rarity come over here."

Rarity ran up to Spike. "What is it, Spike?", she asked.

Spike got closer to Rarity. Then he kissed her on the mouth. Rarity kissed him back. Then they both glowed raised in the air, the glow exploded across everypony.

It helped the crystal ball suck Javier Black in and it brought the murdered ponies back to life. Shining Armor's split-in-half body was raised from the fire and attached back together, Pinkie Pie's guts were being brought into her stomach, it healed Apple Bloom's torso, it got rid of the burned spots on Babs, the spikes disappeared from the CMC and Pipsqueak, it healed Luna's wing and hooves, Fluttershy's wings brought back to her sides, and it healed Rainbow Dash's belly. They all woke up and saw the glow. Then it faded away and Rarity and Spike were back on the ground. Everypony came from Canterlot and cheered.

Twilight was proud of Spike. "Spike, you actually did it.", he said. "That glow fixed everything. But, how did you know that creature?"

Spike thought for a moment, then he remembered. "Oh, I read all about him in the newspaper.", he said. "I found it in front of the castle before we left."

Twilight was surprised. She didn't remember getting "Cool, I guess that explains WHY DID YOU RUN AWAY LIKE THAT, SPIKE?!", she yelled accusing the younger purple dragon. "THE GALA WAS GOING ON AND YOU MISSED ON ALL OF THE FUN! WHY WOULD YOU RUN AWAY LIKE THAT!"

Spike looked at the ground, he felt terrible. "Earlier, I saw Fancy Pants propose to Rarity.", he said with an ashamed look. "I wanted to ask her to dance and thought we would be together. But, were not."

Rarity looked at Spike and tilted her head. "You know, Spike, when Mayor Mare was injured, she told us everything when she saw you at the garden this afternoon.", she said. "Fancy Pants told me if I wanted to marry you, then he's fine with it."

Spike smiled. Then he looked all over the place. He completely damaged everything in Ponyville. He felt ashamed than ever. "I'm so sorry I tortured you guys.", he said. "I guess I didn't know I was being controlled by a devil creature like Javier Black."

Fluttershy cut him off before he can say another word. "Oh, Spike. We all forgive you, we always do.", she said sweetly. "And I'm pretty sure Javier Black got a good taste of his own medicine. Besides, we would never hate you, we still love you."

Spike looked at Fluttershy and they smiled. "Thank you, Fluttershy.", he said.

Rarity stepped closer to Spike and hugged her little dragon sweetheart. The crowd was amazed. "Awwwwwww.", everypony said.

And that made Spike really happy. "Everypony Hug!", he said cheerfully. Everypony started hugging each other like Apple Bloom and Babs, Scootaloo and Silver Spoon, Sweetie Belle and Diamond Tiara, Applejack, Twilight, and Starlight, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Discord, Shining Armor and Cadence, and even Aurora and Orion.

"A hug is something special for someone you really love.", Spike said with more cheer.

Then he looked at Apple Bloom. "Also, Apple Bloom can you explain to us what was with those rainbow feathers on your stomach?", he asked.

Apple Bloom gave a confused look, she looked at her torso. "Oh... these?", she said. "I was only showing you them to tame you. Also, I needed some to protect my belly from itching. My dress has an itchy part that drives me crazy." Apple Bloom stopped and her face turned red, she looked at Rarity. "No offence.", she said with embarrassment.

Rarity shrugged. "None taken."

Orion took a look at his suit. "At least this suit doesn't itch.", he said. "But, I am sweating in it."

"You know, guys.", Discord said. "Spike did learn a valuable lesson where he can't just destroy a town like this one."

A mare yelled from the crowd with a groan. "Well, Duh!"

Discord glared at the mare from the crowd. "Hey, WOULD YOU JUST SHUT THE HELL UP?!", he yelled.

"YOU SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU BIG BUTT!", the mare from the crowd yelled back.

"Yeah, I GOT YOU A BIG BUTT RIGHT HERE!", Discord yelled back the second time.

"Discord!", Fluttershy said warning her big grey-furry friend. "Just ignore that."

Rainbow Dash kept thinking about Javier Black. "You know, I kind of felt bad about Javier Black.", she said.

Everypony looked at Rainbow Dash. Rarity was a bit surprised. "Are you cracked?", she asked. "You want him back? But, what about his chaotic feeling?"

Rainbow had to think for a moment. "Well, that too.", she said. "But, his devilish gryphon look is pretty amusing. Heheheh. I'm just being honest."

Orion looked at his crystal ball. "Well, I don't know how to get him back.", he said.

Spike looked at the ball and thought for a moment. "Hold on, let me see that.", he said as he demonstrated how to release somepony from the ball. "If you press your thumb on the top of the ball, a spark might fly out."

Spike pressed his thumb on the ball. "Here goes nothing.", he said. A spark came out of the crystal ball and landed on the ground.

Javier Black appeared and spoke in a squeaky voice. "I am Javier Black. HERE ME... squeak? What the hell?" He looked up and saw the ponies staring down to the ground straight at him. He has shrunken.

"I"LL GET MY REVENGE!!", the shrunken gryphon said as he runs off in the distance.

Everypony burst with laughter. Then Spike bounced on Rarity and started tickling her belly. Rarity laughed harder. "HEY! HEEHEEHEE! SPIHIHIKE! HAHAHA! NOHOHOHOHO! HAHAHAHA! STOHOHOHOP THAHAHAT--HEEHEEHEE-- THAHAHAT TIHIHICKLES! HEEHEEHEEHEEHEE!", she said. "GET THIS DRAGON OFF ME! HAAAAAAAAOOOOOHOOOOOO! I CAN'T BREATHE! I CAN'T BREATHE!"

Everypony continued laughing, louder and happy.
