Battery Park || 11:30 PM
After awhile, Spike and Peewee, finally arrived at the entrance of Battery Park.
"Thanks Peewee," Spike said to the phoenix, "I'll take it from here." While reluctant at leaving his master, the bird nodded as he flapped his wings and flew away.
Taking a deep breath, Spike calmly walked into the park, before he heard a whoosh.
Without having to turn around, Spike ducked his head in time, just as a net flew overhead. Then, from behind, a ninja stepped out as he lunged towards him from, only for Spike to somersault in the air, evading the ninja, before he retaliated, with a flying kick to the assassin's head. Then, more ninjas appeared from the shadow, as they all threw several bolas, nets, and arrows to capture the dragon boy. Spike, however, dodged them all, with only a chain ball, snaring him by the arm. With that, Spike quickly turned the table, as he pulled the ninja and used him as a makeshift flail. The ninjas all disappeared in a puff of smoke, as the sound of clapping was heard.
"Impressive," Somnambula said in amusement. "Very impressive. You've certainly learned a lot from our last encounter." The witch then took notice of the boy's current conditions, "Hmm, is jaded facial a new trend today?"
âWhere are the girls?â Spike asked angrily.
Pointing with her staff, the witch directed Spikeâs attention to the left to see the girls, still in restraints.
âGirls!â Spike cried, as he ran over, only to be barred by two brutish Shadowbolts. Spike quickly got into fighting stance.
âNow, now,â Somnambula began, as she walked over. âNo need for violence.â
âLet the girls go!â Spike demanded angrily.
âFirst, the Dragonfire,â Somnambula demanded.
âLadies first!â Spike pointed to the girls.
âDonât annoy me, young prince,â the witch began, starting to lose her patience. âGive yourself to me, and then weâll release the girls!â
"Let the girls go first! I don't trust you!"
"Obviously," Sugarcoat muttered. "I know, I know, shut up," the girl grumbled, as she was receiving some glares from her fellow Shadowbolts.
âDonât do it Spike!â Rainbow Dash pleaded.
âWe arenât worth it!â Fluttershy cried.
âBut you are,â Spike replied, looking at the girls, with sympathy. âYou girls are the bestest friends Iâve ever had. I canât think of anyone else as kind, generous, loyal, honest, funny, and magical than you girls and the rests, put together. Iâll gladly die, than to live with the loss of one of you,â The girls couldnât help but shed a tear at the boyâs compassionate words of friendship, even some of the girls in the Shadowboltsâs ranks couldn't help but feel touched.
"Ah, star-crossed lovers," Somnambula mocked. "Fine! How about this. We'll release the girls first, then you give us, the Dragonfire. Now do we have a deal, or not?"
"First, how do I know you won't use the Dragonfire on the girls, after I give it to you?"
"Driving a hard bargain, eh?" Somnambula asked.
"ARRRGH!!" Sunburn growled impatiently, as she makes herself known. "Enough of these questions!! Give us the power, NOW!!"
Spike, surprised at the sudden appearance of Sunburn, remained stoic, "So you must be Sunset's angry self," Spike said.
"Yes, Dragon Prince," Sunburn sneered. "It is I. How incredibly observant you are," the apparition said, rolling her eyes, while pointing accusingly at the Mane Six, "Far more observant than these six put together!!"
"Here we go again," Rainbow groaned.
"DON'T YOU START TO TO COMPLAIN BEHIND MY BACK, RAINBOW CRASH!!!" Sunburn roared. "YOU ONLY HAVE YOURSELVES TO BLAME!! YOU HAVE ALL SEALED YOUR FATES THE DAY YOU ALL TURNED YOUR BACKS ON SUNSET!!"
"Then why are you bringing Sweetie Belle into this?" Rarity asked. "Surely, she hasn't done anything wrong to you. Has she?"
"What?!" Sunburn asked, as Sweetie Belle shirked in fear. "She hasn't told you?"
"Told me what?" Rarity inquired.
"Tell them, little girl," Sunburn sneered. "Tell them how you felt, after Sunset was pardoned for her past crimes as a Shadowbolt. Tell them, how Ponyville was set on fire! Tell them how those books ended up in Sunset's saddlebags! Tell them the TRUTH!!!"
"Sweetie Belle?" Rarity asked.
The said girl sobbed, as several tears welled up in her eyes, "It was me," the girl cried. "I-I-I didn't mean for it to go that far. It was that Shadowbolt! He made me do it!"
"Oh, Sweetie Belle," Rarity said despondently.
"Are you sure, he's to blame, Sweetie Belle?" Sunburn sneered. "Who else would go around town and wish out loud for Sunset's banishment, and for a cutie mark?"
"He tricked me!" Sweetie Belle squeaked.
"You've got no pony to blame but yourself!" Sunburn growled, before she pulled out the device from her pocket. "And for that, you will pay!" Sunburn's hairs then bursted in a blazing inferno, "YOU WILL ALL PAY!! WATCH AS I TAKE THE DRAGONFIRE FROM YOUR PRECIOUS DRAGON PRINCE!!!" With that, Sunburn opened up the device, laughing maniacally, along with the Shadowbolts, which quickly subsided when nothing happened, "WHAT?!!!" Sunburn shook the device, before she noticed tag that reads, "Made in MEXICO?!!!"
Then, the mad girl, along with the Shadowbolts heard the sound of a twig snapping, to see Discord, dressed in a fox costume, with a burglar's mask, and the device in hands. "Zoot! You're too late!" With that, Discord made a run for it.
With an angry shriek, Sunburn shouted, "AFTER THAT CRAZY MAGICIAN!!"
With that, some Shadowbolts ran after Discord, with the latter laughing, "WHOO HOO! HOO HOO! HOO HOO! HOO HOO! HOO HOO!" Discord then froze in place, as he speaks to the readers, "I'm not crazy. I just don't give a darn!" With that, he resumes his laugh, and chase.
Spike, in the meantime, concentrated, and changes into a dragon, as he kicked Sunburn to the side, dodged a lightning bolt from Somnambula, and flew towards the brutes, as he quickly, and effectively knocked them out cold, before he went for the girls, and freed them from their restraints.
"Spike," Rainbow smirked. "You sly dog."
"Though, is it true that jaded facial is becoming a thing for you?" Rarity asked, before she took further notice, "Come to think of, how is that you-"
Before Rarity could question any further, a fireball was thrown, which Spike shielded the girls from, receiving a few burns as he did so.
"Big mistake, dragon!" Sunburn growled, as she was surrounded in dark aura. "Now I'm really MAAAAADDD!!" With that, she sprouted wings, a tail, and grew claws, while her ears became pointy. "I'm going to take everything Twilight and the girls have ever liked," she began. "AND BURN IT ALL TO THE GROUND!!" With that, the angry girl breathed a stream of fire at the little dragon, who quickly blocked it with his own fire breath. The demonic girl swoops in, and slashes her claws at the boy, who quickly jumped overhead, "You're fast!" Sunburn exclaimed.
"Or maybe you're too slow!" Spike said, as he grabbed the demon by the tail, throwing her in the air, jumped up, and landed kick, sending the demon flying through several trees. Though a little disoriented, Sunburn shook the blow off, as she took flight.
"RUN!" Spike ordered, as the Mane Six, and Sweetie Belle, took their leave.
Just then, a light spear was thrown, which grazed some jades on Spike's shoulder.
"Ow-Oh?" Spike flinched, as he rubbed himself. "That doesn't hurt at all."
"Maybe I just need to hit something more soft!" Sunburn called out, as she flew at the dragon, aiming for the exposed areas on his head, chest, abdomen, and any other part that weren't covered in jades. "Hold still!" Sunburn growled, as she breathes a stream of fire in frustration.
Spike kept dodging the demon's fire attacks, and blocked some of her strikes, before he did a backflip, landing a kick to the chin, followed by a spinning tail whip. Sunburn groaned, as she shook the blows off. Afterwards, Sunburn blew a whistle, calling her paper dragons.
"Seize him!!!" Sunburn roared.
Twilight and the girls hadn't gone very far, when some ninjas stopped them. Then, Abacus Cinch stepped forward.
"Seize the girls!" Abacus Cinch commanded. The ninjas complied, before they were stopped, be a blast of magic.
"Don't you dare hurt my sister!" a voice called, revealing it to be a Shadowbolt, with a hood over his head.
"I'll second to that!" another Shadowbolt said.
"Eeyup!" the last one said.
"Who dares?!" Abacus Cinch angrily asked.
The three Shadowbolts took off their cloaks, to reveal themselves to be three boys, older than the girls, in suits of armors, carrying weapons. The first boy has a long, well groomed, moderate sapphire blue hair with moderate cerulean and dark phthalo blue streaks that frames his matching eyes. In appearance, he wears a suit of dark purple suit of armor, with gold trimmings and paddings, while carrying bulky longsword in one hand, and a huge shield on his back. The second boy has a long hair, the same style as Rainbow Dash's, while having moderate gamboge hair. In appearance, he wore a dark blue, sleek, suit of armor, that looked almost like something from the Sci-Fi genre. The third boy has brilliant orange, messy hair, over his moderate sap green eyes, with freckles beneath them. His armor gave him the appearance of a black knight from the stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, with silver horns of a ram on both sides of his helmet, and a huge, dark, buster sword.
"Shining Armor!" Twilight smiled.
"Blaze!" Rainbow gasped.
"Big Mac!" Applejack exclaimed.
"What's this?" Abacus asked, enraged to see the boys. "Spies? Impossible!"
"Not probable!" Shining Armor smirked. "You always were too high and mighty to see passed the end of your nose. We've been undercover, and we're here for my sister and her friends!"
"Eeyup!" Big Mac agreed.
Abacus groaned, as she rubbed her temple, "Nightmare Moon is not going to let me hear the end of this," she shook her head, as she regains her composure and smirked evilly. "No matter. I'll redeem myself, by offering your hides to her as tributes. AFTER THEM!!"
With that, the ninjas all jumped at the boys, along with some flying monkeys.
"C'mon Wondercolts!" Shining Armor said. "All for one, and ONE FOR ALL!!"
With that, the boys all charged towards their adversaries, while the girls, plus Sweetie Belle, sneaked away. Abacus Cinch, got out a smoke bomb, and disappeared, in a puff of smoke.
"That was close," Applejack panted. "So what do we do now?"
"Run away and let the boys handle everything?" Pinkie asked.
"No way!" Rainbow exclaimed. "I didn't came this far just to ditch Spike! He's fighting the Shadowbolts, and we gotta help him!"
"And do you plan on us doing that?" Applejack asked. "We don't have our powers anymore. Sunburn's got our powers! And we can't help Spike without them."
"That's never stopped me before," a voice called, revealing itself to be none other than Fleur, standing together with Sunset Shimmer, Zecora, Lyra Heartstrings, Bon Bon, and the boys.
Back with Discord, the crazy magician was running for his very life, while outsmarting the Three Magicians.
Discord took off his top hat, and threw it at Goldcap, who caught it in her hands, and looked at the hat, questionably. Discord then got out another hat, and thrusted a fist in it, which appeared from Goldcap's hat, and blasted the girl with a burst of water, from a fire extinguisher. Discord's head then appeared from the hat, as he talks in Daffy Duck's voice, "You're possssitively, ravissshing, dear," With that, he planted a kiss on the girl's lip. Once they broke contact, Goldcap spluttered in disgust, while Discord bounced around, laughing. Then, Decepticolt came up from behind, and was about to catch the eccentric boy with a net, until Discord stopped him.
"Hey just a minute there bub! Just a minute!" With that, Discord punched the boy in the nose, before he resumes laughing, and running.
Discord dives through a bush, where Spike was waiting, before he came running out of the bush, and up into a tree. The irked Three Magicians all climbed after Discord, who later reappeared in a flash of light at the bottom. The Magicians realized too late, they've been duped into climbing a prop tree.
"That'll be 36 cents, please!" Discord grinned, as he kicked the tree, causing the magicians to fall. "Thought they can outsmart the old master, eh?" Just then, Discord was piled on by some Shadowbolts. Once the scuffled was settled, one of the Shadowbolts was holding Discord down, "Ooh, couldn't keep your hands off me, eh?" Discord smirked, while the Shadowbolt scoffed with disgusts, as she looked through his coat, trying to find the device.
Spike, too, was running for his dear life, as the paper dragons gave chase. The boy had assumed the form of a dog, as he dove into a bush, hiding from the dragons that were pursuing him. At the same time, Discord had passed through the same bush, dropping the device he had stolen from Sunburn, and into Spike's possession.
Spike later emerged from the bush, still a dog, with the device around his neck. However, before he could find the girls, he quickly jumped back in fright, just as an arrow was shot, and landed in front of Spike. The little dog looked up, to see the five Shadowbolts, and Somnambula, as they all lunged towards him.
Sour quickly shot another arrow, which Spike was able to evade, "Stop moving!" the girl growled, as she continues to fire more arrows at the little dog.
"Not an option for me!" Spike replied, as he continues to dodge behind trees, bushes, rocks, and other structures he could use as shields.
"It doesn't have to be this way," Somnambula said, as she readies her staff. "If you surrender yourself, no pony gets hurt. The Night Mistress will make you bigger! And not so fluffy!" With that, the witch fired a stunning spell at the dog.
"I like fluffy!" Spike retorted, before dodging another blast from the witch, followed by several more, as he climbed into the trees. "I'll bet some bits, yo mama was so old, she died when she acted her own age!" The dragon said to the elder witch.
Somnambula gasped, "I'd say the same for your mother!" the witch retorted, just as the dog blew an explosive fireball, which Somnambula quickly blocked with a shield spell she projected. Once the fires cleared away, the witch looked, and sees the young dragon getting away.
The witch prepares another spell, only to be stopped by Sunny Flare, "Allow us, mistress," Sunny insisted. "We have unfinished business with the dragon!" With that, Sunny and the girls all gave chase.
Twilight, the girls, and their allies, kept on running through the chaos, before they find Spike, who had changed into his dragon form, as he got into fighting stance, and fought the five Shadowbolts.
"Why are you girls doing this?" Spike asked, while blocking a strike from Indigo's sword. "What do you from me? What did I ever do to you?"
"A lot of things we can do with your powers!" Indigo smirked. "From what Somnambula has told us, once Nightmare Moon has it, she'll be able to withstand the light of the sun! And on top of that, she'll reward us for our loyalty to her! We'll get everything we've ever wanted! Every dreams made real! Every wishes fulfilled! I can be an all powerful warrior!"
"I'll be loved by many," Sunny added.
"I'll have immeasurable knowledge of the universe," Sugarcoat answered.
"I'll destroy anyone who gets in my way!" Sour sneered.
"And I'll never get tired!" Lemon smirked, earning some weird looks, which she clarified, "When I celebrate our victory with endless rock n roll concerts."
"Wow," Spike began. "Can my powers do all that?" He asked, before he backflips into a tree branch, dodging an arrow in time. "On second thought, I'd rather not have that question answered."
"So that was a rhetorical question?" Sugarcoat asked.
"If that's what you think," Spike answered.
"ENOUGH TALKING!" Indigo shouted. "More fighting!"
"And much more destruction!" Sour grinned.
With that, the girls all pounced on the dragon, who continues to fight back, jaded limbs and all.
Indigo flew in, and landed a kick to his chest, only to recoil in damage, when more jade plates started to cover his chest.
"Ow!" Indigo groaned, as she held her foot, and hopped all over the place, while the other girls continued their assaults on the dragon.
Sour Sweet changed her bow into its staff form, and swung the blades at the dragon, who manages to block them, with his newfound jaded plates. Sugarcoat lunged towards Spike, with her shuko claws, try to scratch the dragon, at the exposed spots that have yet to be covered by the jade plates growing on him. Spike, however, changed himself into a dog, evading the girl's claws, before he jumped from behind and kicked her, causing Sugarcoat to stumble into Lemon Zest, causing the latter to ensnaring Sour, Sugar, and herself, by mistake, with her kusarigma. Sunny continues to use her tessen fan, who continues to dodge, as well as catching some of the kunai blades being thrown at him, while the others nearly got Indigo.
"Hey! Watch it!" Indigo shouted.
"Enough!" Somnambula shouted, as she steps into the fight. "Dragon Prince. Prepare for a historical repeat!" With that, she readied her staff and fired a bolt of dark lightning from her staff, straight towards the dragon.
"NO!!" Twilight and the girls screamed.
Remembering the technique Scorpan had taught him, Spike quickly struck his arm out, got himself forced back a few feet away, as he took the lightning in. While this is happening, Spike felt an excruciating pain, coursing through his body, as more than a billion volts of electricity was pulsing through his body, and his very life flashed through his mind. Among them, Princess Celestia's tear stained face appeared, "Spike," the alicorn called out, longingly.
The young dragon's eyes snapped open, burning brightly with determination, and his pupils became slits, once more, "Not this time!" He growled, before he struck his other arm out, projecting the lightning from the other end.
"What? How did he-" Before Somnambula could finish, she was struck by the lightning, and was thrown back, and into a tree, and was knocked, out cold.
The girls gasped at what they had seen, before they all let out whoops and cheers for their dragon friend, "Whoo-hoo!"
"Way to go, Spike!" Rainbow cheered.
"Yeah!" Spike cheered, before he took notice of the girls. "Girls?"
"Hey Spike!" Pinkie waved her hands.
"Don't forget about us buddy!" Button called out.
"Guys?!"
"Where?" Discord asked, as he popped his head out from a bush.
The Shadowbolts later got up, as they, along with some flying monkeys, and shadow creatures, angrily charged towards the dragon.
"Talk later!" Spike said, as he resumes the fight.
The monkeys all swooped down from their perch, swiped their claws at the dragon, who didn't hesitate to fight back. One monkey grabbed him by the tail, but Spike whipped it away into the others. Another flying monkey jumped on Spike's head and pulled him by the frills. In response, Spike jumped into the branches overhead, knocking the monkey off, after it collided headfirst into one of the branches. Spike quickly climbed into one of the tree branches, with the monkeys climbing after him, before they all came out on top, and piled on the dragon.
"Repulse the monkey!" Spike screamed, throwing the monkeys off.
"You rock!" Fluttershy cheered, quietly. "Whoo-hoo!"
The Three Magicians then ran towards Spike. Goldcap pulled out a bola from the inside of her hair, and threw it at the dragon. But Spike quickly ducked his head down, as the bola flew overhead and snared one of the monkeys instead.
"Throw it at him, you idiot!" Sunny Flare scowled.
"I'm trying!" Goldcap talked back.
Zappityhoof and Decepticolt both pulled out their magic hats, shooting out a rope, made up of several multicolored handkerchiefs, lassoing the dragon.
"We got him!" Decepticolt's words got eaten, when Spike grabbed the ropes and started to swing them around.
"You mean, he's got us!" Zappityhoof screamed as she and the boy were spun around, before Spike released the rope, and sent them flying into a tree.
"Alright, that's it!" Decepticolt snarled. "No more Mr. Nice Magician!" With that, the boy concentrated on a dark spell, creating several duplicates of himself. The duplicates all charged after the dragon, who quickly breathed fire at all the copies, while receiving a few hits at the exposed areas of his body, on the back, tail, and stomach.
"Don't suppose you've got room for one more!" Zappityhoof said, as she joined in, throwing a few smoke bombs at the dragon.
Blinded, Spike began to rely more on his hearings, listening to the sounds of the wind blowing, crickets chirping, monkeys chittering, wings flapping, and the footsteps of the Shadowbolts, along with some weapons being thrown at him, allowing him to dodge from side to sides.
"Spike!" Twilight called. "Pick up your jacket!"
"Huh?" Spike replied questionably, but complied, nevertheless. As he did so, a ninja flew overhead, missing the boy.
The girls realized what Twilight was doing, as they joined in.
"C'mon Sugarcube!" Applejack instructed. "Left hand up! Right hand up! Left leg back!"
"Play dead!" Fluttershy shouted, causing Spike to lay down on the grass, just as two of Decepticolt's duplicates crashed into each other. "Roll over!" With that, Spike rolled to the side, dodging Indigo's katana, as the girl was swinging it down. "Good boy!" Fluttershy smiled.
"Keep it up Spike!" Twilight shouted. "Wax on! Wax off! Re-shelve the books!"
"Buck them apples!" Applejack shouted, as Spike thrusted his legs out, kicking some Shadowbolts away.
"Quick! Give them the Flying Crane Kick!" Rainbow shouted, as Spike kicked one of the Shadowbolts, a boy, in the groin, and smacked two Shadowbolts at his sides, in the face, with his hands.
"Sweep the floor!" Rarity called, as Spike whipped his tail, successfully tripping Decepticolt and all his fake doubles, sending the magician flying towards a tree.
"Heads up!" Pinkie said, causing Spike to duck his head down. "No! I mean the other heads up!" With that, Spike stood up, as Pinkie threw a glass of water at Spike, clearing his vision.
"Thanks, Pinkie," Spike said in relief. "I needed that."
"No problem," Pinkie smiled. "NOW BAKE HIS COOKIES!!!" Pinkie shouted, pointing at a disoriented Decepticolt.
"Bake his cookies?" the girls asked in confusion.
With that, Spike grabbed Decepticolt from behind, pantsed him to reveal a white boxer with chocolate chipped cookies, burned it with his fire breath, before pulling it up into a flaming wedgie, "YOW!!" the boy shouted in pain, jumping so high, that he came right out of Battery Park, and landed on a telephone wire, electrocuting him.
"I taught him that," Pinkie smiled.
Just then, Shining Armor, Big Mac, and Rainbow Blaze arrived, "What did we missed?" Shining Armor asked.
"Oh just Spike opening a can of kick plot kung fu!" Rainbow said in excitement.
"Really?" Rainbow Blaze asked, as he sat next to his sister, to watch the show.
Goldcap, Zappityhoof, along with the rest of the Shadowbolts, and their creatures were left to contend with the dragon. One of the paper dragons lunged, snapping its jaws at Spike, who had turned into a dog, as he leaped onto the dragon's head, and pulled on the tufts of furs on its head.
"Yee-haw!" Pinkie cheered. "Ride 'em Spike!"
The dragon shook its head, menacingly, and furiously, trying in vain to shake the dog off. The rest of the paper dragons, along with the monkeys, all tackled after the dog, who slid down the paper dragons' bodies, jumped through some gaps, evading from the monkeys claws. Before long, the paper dragons and winged monkeys were all in a tangled mess of bodies and limbs.
Soon, it was Sunny and the Shadowbolts' turn, along with the two remaining magicians.
Sunny, obviously, made the first move, as she threw several kunai blades, and shurikens at the dragon, who was able to block a few, with his jade plates, while catching a few, by the tails, 'Hmm, maybe this metamorphosis of mine isn't so bad,' he thought, before he quickly blocked some arrows the girl shot at him.
"What?" Sunny asked. "You think Sour Sweet's the only archer on our team? Where did you think she learned it from?" With that, Sunny readied another arrow, which exploded into a giant net.
Spike's tongue shot out, as he did the, "Clean Toilet Bowl," maneuver again. However, as he did the technique, he saw Indigo running at his side, with her katanas in hand, and swung them at his tongue. She would've succeeded, had Spike not retracted his tongue back in time, and caused the net to fall on Indigo.
"Indigo, you idiot!" Sunny scolded. "I almost had him, until you got in the way!"
"I almost had him too!" Indigo snarled in return. "Had it not been for your net!" The competitive girl soon got her collar pulled, as Sunny brought her, face to face.
"Need I remind you I'm the leader of this team?!" Sunny snarled.
"Oh, forgive your highness," Indigo replied sarcastically, rolling her eyes, before she felt Sunny tightening her grip. "I mean, sure! You're the boss! You're the boss!"
While Sunny and Indigo argued, Spike continued his fight with the others.
Sour Sweet made the next move, as she menacingly waved her staff furiously, as well as throwing a few kicks, all of which Spike was able to block, with his jaded claws, and some kicks of his own. Eventually, Sour grew impatient, and ran forward, in a flying kick, which Spike was quick to catch her.
"Release me!" Sour roared, trying to smack the dragon in the face, which Spike arched his head, back in time. Before long, the dragon reverted back in human form, as he comically spins the girl around, knocking the other Shadowbolts in the face. In appearance, the two looked almost as if they're professional dancers. Spike was clearing enjoying it, while Sour speaks otherwise, as she moaned in discomfort. Then, Spike flipped the girl over his back, causing her to fall towards the ground, dropping her weapon, nearly letting her land, had he not caught her in time.
"Let's dance," Spike grinned, as he and Sour continue to spin around.
The rest of the Shadowbolts, and magicians, recovered, before they took notice of the display. They honestly don't know wether or not to laugh at their friend's misfortune, along with the winged monkeys, after they freed themselves from the paper dragons. The rest of the heroes on the other hand, had no trouble at all.
"This is the best thing I've ever seen!" Rainbow laughed herself to tears, along with Applejack, whose face was turning red.
"And they say I'm the element of laughter!" Pinkie laughed uncontrollably, eventually breaking herself into pieces.
Sunset Shimmer too couldn't keep it together, as she was hugging with Twilight, both laughing themselves to the brinks of tears, "P-P-Poor Sour Sweet!" Twilight laughed.
Elsewhere, Sunburn was trying to find the dragon who got away from her, when she felt some cracks forming on her body. Concentrating on her mind, she realizes what was going on, "Stop laughing!" Sunburn demanded to Sunset Shimmer. "I don't care how funny you think he is! And I could tell better jokes!"
Meanwhile, a zombie Snips, Snails, and Zephyr were sitting on some benches, as they watch the fight going on.
"No fair!" Zombie Snips droned. "How come he gets to dance with her?"
"Not fair," Snails droned.
"Yep," Zephyr moaned.
"Slackers!" Sunburn roared, when she finds the zombies. "Get over there and stop the dragon!" The zombies all gave her some salutes, as the demon threw them away.
Soon, Spike flipped Sour on his back, released his hold on her legs, before he grabbed her hands beneath him, pulling her up, and spins her around, leaving the girl in a dizzy state. Sour was so dizzy, everywhere she looked, she's seeing Spike. She looked at Snips, Snails, and Zephyr, and thought they were all Spikes, and charged, dizzily, towards them. The boys, being the dimwits they are, weren't so fortunate enough to defend themselves from the girl's attacks. Sunburn face palmed, angrier than ever.
"Olè!" Spike exclaimed, earning some whistles and applauses from his friends. Then he remembered something, "Oh! I almost forgot," With that, Spike held up the device. "Girls! I have your-" Suddenly, Spike felt himself spazzing all over again, "Oh no! Not now!" With that, more jades started to form all over his body, on his chest, legs, and his hand started to become more stiff. Then, out of impulse, the hand holding the device, crushed the said object, releasing several multicolored orbs, flying from his hand. The orbs flew around the boy, dancing around him, before they merged into one orb. Spike looked at the orb, and was shocked, as he swore he saw Princess Celestia's face. Next thing he knew, the orb flew into his mouth, and forced its way down his throat.
"AAAAAAAHHH!!" Spike screamed, falling to his knees, and clutching his stomach. To him, it felt like a thousand needle has been shot, directly at his heart, and from there, his whole blood vein was caught on fire.
"Oh, goodness!" Fluttershy cried, running up to his side. "Are you alright?"
"I-I-I don't know!" Spike's whole body glowed in a shimmering rainbow coat, before he was completely encased in jades, "Wh-What's happening to MMEEEEEEEEEEE?!!" Spike screamed, snapping his eyes open, to reveal it was glowing in a rainbow aura, as he was forced back in dragon form, and roared in pain. Fluttershy quickly backed away, along with the girls, and the Shadowbolts, as they all watched the young dragon, contorting himself in an odd manner. Then, in a flash of green light, standing in the young dragon's place, was a jade dragon statue, in a coil.
"Spike?" Fluttershy said in concern, as she and Rarity both ran up to the statue. "Spike, what's wrong?"
"Spikey-Wikey?!" Rarity asked, tapping the statue. "Are you alright? Speak to me!"
"Twilight!" Rainbow asked. "What's happening to him?"
"I don't know!" Twilight replied.
"I do!" Sunset explained. "He's going through metamorphosis."
"Meta what?" the rainbow haired girl asked.
"He's changing!" the fiery girl answered. "Like how a caterpillar turns into a butterfly, he's going through a similar process!"
"Oh my!" Rarity exclaimed. "I never thought I'd get the chance to witness such an event!"
"Neither would we!" Abacus Cinch grinned, as she made herself known. "Shadowbolts! Now's our chance! Seize the dragon before he completes his transformation!!"
"No!" Sunset shouted, as she stood, defensive before the changing dragon. "You want Spike? You have to go through me first!"
"Oui!" Fleur said, as she too joined in. "That makes two of us!"
"Don't count us out yet!" Bon Bon stated, with Lyra joining.
"Don't forget about me!" Discord announced.
"With pleasure!" Sunburn sneered, as she, the magicians, and the Three Stooges, pounced the girls and boy.
"Then I guess the dragon's ours then!" Sunny smirked as she and her comrades prepare for the kill.
"You want Spike?" Button asked, taking out a styrofoam Minecraft pickaxe, and too stood defensively for his friend. "You gotta go through us first!" The rest of the boys soon came out, as they all exchanged agreements.
"Who are you suppose to be?" Abacus asked.
"Who are we? Who are we?!!!" Button Mash asked. "Tendertaps! Roll the music!"
With that, Tender Taps pulled out a boom box and pressed a button.
"Kenny!" Button announced.
"Johnny!" Rumble followed.
"Mitch!" Pipsqueak said.
"Nicky!" Featherweight exclaimed.
"Mikey!" Tender Taps shouted.
"And we are!" The boys together flashed a smile and a thumbs up. "The Spirit Squad!"
"Dude! You played the wrong theme song!" Button Mash grumbled.
The girls, the boys, the Shadowbolts, even Abacus Cinch, all face faulted, incredulous at the boys' performance.
"Okay, let's try this again, from the top," Button stated.
[Let's Get Ready To Rumble - Jock Jams]
"Button Mash!"
"Rumble!"
"Tender Taps!"
"Pipsqueak!"
"Featherweight!"
"And together, we are!" The boys once again did their dramatic poses. "The Five Guys!!"
"Lame," Sugarcoat said bluntly.
"What'd you say?" Button asked angrily, followed by the boys.
"I thought it was pathetic, the way you boys screwed up your intro. But it's even more pathetic, how you boys named yourselves after a fast food restaurant," the girl explained, nonchalantly.
"Now that really hurts," Featherweight mutters. "We like Five Guys for a reason!"
"WAIT A MINUTE!!" Sour Sweet exclaimed. "I remember you boys now! You were those meddling hoodlums who keep rescuing those peeping toms from us!!" With that, the girl's face grew even redder with anger. "Well now, it's time for sweet, sweet, sweet, REVEEEENGGGEEE!!!" the girl said the last part demonically.
"I thought you wanted revenge on Spike for-ACK!!" Indigo was interrupted when Sour gabbed the athletic girl in another death grip by the throat.
"First the boys!" Sour began sweetly. "THEN SPIIIIIIIKEE!!!" she said in a demonic tone.
The boys in the meantime, watched with shrunken pupils.
"See, this is why she never has a boyfriend," Button whispered, which unfortunately, didn't go unheard.
"I heard that!!" Sour Sweet roared. With an angry tantrum, she lunges towards the nerd boy, while her comrades took the rest of the boys.

Rumble vs. Indigo Zap
[Naked Weapon - Maggie Q vs. Andrew Lin]
The young athletic boy, was currently engaged in a rumble of his own, with Indigo Zap. The even competitive girl was showing no mercy, as she relentlessly slashed her swords at the boy, who parried with a metal bat and a hockey club.
"I'm curious," Rumble began. "How does a Crystal Prep athlete like you became a swordsman?" Indigo growled, "Oh, sorry. I mean, swordswoman."
"Well, how does a boy like you get involved in this?" Indigo asked. "Your friend is a dragon from another world, he's got powers that the master of our principle is seeking, and you're practically risking your own life for him! Why are you getting in our way?"
After blocking another slash from Indigo's katana, Rumble replied, "Dragon or not, Spike's our pal! And we never leave one of our own, behind!" Rumble blocked another sword, as he continues, "And I'm saying that, not because of his powers; something all you Shadowbolt creeps ever cared about. We owed Spike a lot of things! We owed him our lives!"
"Really?" Indigo, irritated, slashed her swords at the boy's bat. "What did he do for you? Helped you win a trophy for you and your team?"
"Ha! Even better!" Rumble replied. "He helped me win back my brother's medal!" This got Indigo interested, "Before Spike came to town, I was just an average, everyday runt, living in my brother's shadow. Thunderlane was the only friend I've ever had. He was there to give me emotional support, telling me that I'm special, more ways than one. And as proof of his confidence within me, he gave me his prized medal," Rumble then brought out the said object from his pocket as proof. "This thing meant everything to me, because it carries my bother's passions, his victories, and his respect. And he entrusted its care with me!" Rumble then puts the medal back in his pocket, as he continues, "Then, one day, some punks went and took the medal from me. They said they'll only give it back, if I can beat them in a game of basketball, 2 vs. 2. I'm not one to back down from a challenge, but I was without a second player then, and all of the kids at school were afraid to help. All, except one." Indigo didn't need to guess who it is, "That's right, it was Spike himself. Spike just showed up, out of the blue, and with his help, we were able to beat the punks, and win back my brother's medal. Since then, Spike and I have been the best of friends, and we've been brothers in arm, ever since."
"Really?" Indigo asked, sounding interested. "I know he's good and all, but not that good."
"That's because, you don't have a heart, like he does!" Rumble spatted.
Indigo could hardly believed what she was hearing, "Hey! I have respects for the dragon too, y'know!"
"Then why are you and your friends trying to kill him, huh? Why can't you just leave him be?"
"Well, I'm a warrior. And warriors live by fighting. What's a warrior when they've got nothing to fight for? And I fight to win!"
"Then, you have no honor!" The very sentence alone struck Indigo to the core. "If you think you can win, then I'm sure you wouldn't fight someone like me with double katanas!" With that, Rumble puts his bat and stick away, as he beckoned, "C'mon! Fight like the warrior you really are, unless you're scared."
With a scowl of determination, Indigo sheathed her swords, as she charges at Rumble, "You're gonna eat those words!"
She threw the first punch at Rumble, who quickly blocked it, with the 'Paint the house,' maneuver, before he threw another punch, which the girl was quick to block as well. Then, the young boy sweeps his leg out, only for Indigo to evade with a backflip, before she was hit in the face, with a sidekick that was followed, from the boy. Luckily for Indigo, she was wearing a helmet for protection. Nevertheless, Indigo continues her fight with the boy, throwing several more kicks and punches, which Rumble was able to block, before he retaliated with a double slap, to the girl's stomach. Angered, Indigo continued to throw several chops, while defending herself from some of Rumble's counterattacks, before she was able to spin him around and slapped him hard on the back, between the shoulders. Disoriented to the slightest, Rumble continued, as he swings a roundhouse kick to the girl, only for her to dodge the attack, before she did a front snap kick, to the boy's chin.
Rumble shook his head, as he fixes his jaws.
"What's the matter?" Indigo taunted. "Too rough from the warrior you expected me to be?"
"Nope," Rumble replied, as he spits the ground. "Just getting warmed up."
The two athletes charged at each other, throwing several more kicks and punches, blocking, and catching each other's strikes. Indigo jumped and did a flying kick, while Rumble rolled forward, thrusted his legs out, knocking the girl's legs, causing her to fall to the ground. However, before impact, Indigo landed on the ground, with her hands catapulting herself in the air. With a flip, the girl landed on the side of a tree, and catapulted herself, back at the boy. Rumble stepped to the side, as the the girl flew past him, and thrusted his palm out in a strike. However, Indigo had the same idea, and both athletes were forced back.
Before Indigo could recover, she was run over by a scooter.
"Hey Rumble!" the rider smiled. "Heard you were in the middle of a rumble."
"Scootaloo?!" Rumble exclaimed. Standing before him, wearing a purple helmet with white stripes, with matching paddings on the arms, knees, and gloves, was the girl herself. "Look out!" Rumble shouted, as he shoved Scootaloo to the side, saving her from a surprised punch from Indigo.
"Hitting my friend from behind?" Rumble asked. "Now isn't that like a coward?"
Rumble then threw a punch at Indigo, but recoiled in damage when he struck her helmet, "Hang on, Rumble!" Scootaloo exclaimed, as she pulled the girl's glass cover up. "Get her now!" With that, Rumble struck the girl in the face, before Scootaloo tripped her, causing the Shadowbolt girl to fall over landed on a rock.
Indigo groaned, as she got up, just as Discord arrived, dressed in a classic salesperson attire, while speaking in the said costume's typical persona, "Yes ma'm, I've just the little article you need!" he said, holding a bottle of aspirin. "Guaranteed to cure all headaches! Now I'll tell you what I'm gonna do!"
"I ain't got no headaches," Indigo replied.
"Oh yes you have sister!" With that, Discord pulled out a giant hammer from his pants, and bonked the girl on the head.
Rumble and Scootaloo both shared a high five, when a scream was heard.
"HEEEELPPP!" Button shouted, with a derange and angry Sour Sweet behind him.
"Button!" Rumble called.
"SOMEBODY HELP!!" Button screamed.
Tender Taps vs. Lemon Zest
[Michael Jackson - Beat It]
The boy and girl, meanwhile, were having what appears to be a dance-off.
Tender Taps was doing the moonwalk, before he shook his hip, and thrusted his arms around, shaking to the rhythm of the song, before he spins on his head, while attacking some of the Shadowbolts who tried to get the jump on him.
In retaliation, Lemon did some spins, rolls, and flips, to the rhythm of the song, "They'll kick you, then they'll beat you, then they'll tell you which's fair, so beat it!" When Lemon did the dance moves at that verse, she realized too late, she had accidentally landed blows on some of her fellow Shadowbolts. The boys mostly.
Tender Tap couldn't help but laugh, as the girl quickly changes another song.
[Britney Spears - Hit Me Baby One More Time]
Tender Tap stopped his laugh, as he watches Lemon Zest shaking her hips, side to side, and waving her arms around, the same way Britney Spear did, followed by a shimmy with her chest, resulting a blush from Tender.
"Hit me baby one more time!" Lemon sang, bumping Tender with her hip, knocking him off balance.
Shaking his head, and regaining his focus, Tender quickly changed the music.
[Madagascar - I Like To Move It]
"I like to move it, move it!" Tender sang. "I like to move it, move it! I like to move it, move it! You like to...."
"Move it!" The three stooges sang.
Lemon watched, as Tenders, and the Three Stooges, still in zombie states, danced to the beat of the music.
"Oh no!" Snails moaned.
"The groove is too much to bear!" Snips groaned.
"I've got to boogie!" Zephyr said, ripping off his shirt, to reveal himself wearing a gold jacket and pants.
The boys kept on dancing, until Snips and Snails came to their senses, and attacked Tender Taps. Snips picked up a small mud pie, and threw it at the dancing boy, following by Snails, who shot a bolt of thunder. Tender, however, being the clever dancer he is, was able to evade their attacks, before he retaliated with a backfist, knocking Snails into a tree.
Snips then burrowed through the ground, and jumped after Tender Taps, only to be kicked away, by the boy's breakdance.
"Uh oh!" Zephyr shrieks, holding his hand out. "Can't touch this!"
Tender Taps attacked with, "Hammer time!" Defeating the last of the stooges.
Lemon smirked, "Wow," Lemon exclaimed. "Groovy. And that's saying a lot from me!"
"You're not half bad yourself," Tender Tap replied, before the music changed.
Once the music was playing, Lemon started to wave her hips, along with some bopping with her head, as she sang and dance around Tender Taps, to the rhythm of the song.
The girl then spins herself around, as she spins herself on the ground, kicking her legs out in a flare.
"I'm proud to be a lady," Lemon sang, ending the song, before the next one was played.
[Justin Bieber - Never Say Never ft. Jaden Smith]
"Oh no!" Lemon exclaimed. "Not Justin Bieber! How did you know he's my only weakness?"
"I heard girls can't resist the Bieber!" Tender replied, as he did some dance moves, effectively beating Lemon's. Turning his head to the rest of the boys who were gawking at him, "What? It worked didn't it? Besides, Jackie Chan taught him some moves." Crickets continue to chirp, "We don't have time for this. C'mon! Change the song already!"
"I couldn't agree more!" Lemon growled, before she changed the song.
Once the song started, Lemon started tapping her foot to the beats, before she started to shake her hips, and danced around, to the rhythm of the song. Lemon moved her whole body, fluidly to the sound of the song, flicking her hair around. Tender once more, couldn't help but felt drawn by the girl's display, though he kept himself more in control this time. Then, Lemon came walking up to Tender, swaying her hips side to side, before she swung her hip, attempting to knock Tender off his feet, had he not jumped out of the way. With a spin, and a sweep of her leg, Lemon tripped Tender off his feet, before she caught him by the collar of his shirt.
"Baby remember my name!" Lemon sang, holding Tender Taps close, before she spins him.
Though he doesn't understand cantonese, Tender danced to the song nonetheless, shaking his hips around, taking some steps now and then, along with some spins, and kicks, dancing almost like how Aaron does for the song.
Lemon smiled, shaking her head, 'He's got spunk,' With that, she walked over and grabbed the boy's hands, "Let's dance."
[Rosario Vampire Capu2 - Discotheque sung by Nana Mizuki]
Before anyone knew it, even Tender Taps, the boy was dancing with the girl, and strangely enough, was having a good time. Tender Taps smiled, as he and Lemon Zest danced together, until....
"HELPP!!!" Button and Rumble screamed.
"Guys?" Tender Taps asked.
"Save us!" Button screamed. "We're being chased by a crazy dragon girl!"
Tender looked, and could see Sour Sweet, running with bloodshot red eyes, and smokes coming out of her nose. In other words, she looked scary beyond all reasons. Tender Taps feet revved up, as he too broke into a run. After Sour Sweet passed a bewildered Lemon, the latter shrugged her shoulder, as she played a comical number.
Pipsqueak vs. Sunny Flare
The five girls' ringmaster was relentlessly throwing kunai blades, at the smallest member of the Five Guys.
"Why are you even involved in this fight?" Sunny asked. "You're gonna get yourself hurt, really bad."
"I may not be big!" Pipsqueak began. "But I've got friends, who make me ten feet tall."
"Oh really?" Sunny asked. "You look short to be ten feet."
"I meant emotionally," Pipsqueak replied. "And I owe it to Spike for helping me build some confidence." Sunny's eyes widened, as she listened with interests. "I've always been so short, and because of that, girls have always picked on me. And since then, I've always been too scared of even going near one, let alone look at one, without having a breaking down." Pipsqueak paused for a moment, as he clarified, "Well, except maybe mom, since she's my mom after all. But even she wasn't enough, since she moved away with dad, after he got a job transfer, back in London."
"What?!" Sunny exclaimed. "Your parents left you alone?"
"Not completely," Pipsqueak answered. "Since I'm living with cousin Feathers, and his family."
"Oh," Sunny looked at Featherweight, who was currently in a fight with Sugarcoat. "Oh yeah, I see the family resemblance." Turning back, she asked, "So what does that have to do with Spike?"
"He stood up for me!" Pipsqueak answered proudly. "He wasn't as big as the girls who bullied me. But that never stopped him from saving my life once! And when the girls started to turn on him, he stood his ground, as he continues to fight them off. And because of that, I owe my life to Spike, and we've been the best of friends since."
Sunny took the moment to absorb everything the boy told her, "Wow," she said. "You're...so lucky," the girl looked away at the last part, which got Pipsqueak curious.
Just then, Button, Rumble, and Tenders came running out of a bush, with an angry Sour Sweet behind them.
"Someone save us!" Button screamed.
Out of impulse, Pipsqueak grabbed the angry tsundere by the ponytail, leading him to shout, "I got the tail!"
Sour stopped in her track, before she turned around, and smiled threateningly at the little boy.
"Who's got who?" Sour asked, as she towers over the boy. The other boys ceased their running, as they looked at the scene, remembering a similar event they witnessed when they were kids.
"Boys," Button whispered. "Slingshot on three!" With that, Button and Tenders both grabbed Rumble by the leg and foot, before they all spun themselves around. Then, at the last count, the boys threw the young athlete at Sour Sweet, knocking her away from Pipsqueak.
"Thanks guys!" Pipsqueak thanked, as Rumbles helped him up.
Sour Sweet soon got up, angrier than ever, "You dared to interfere?" She growled.
"We're bros!" Button said, standing up to the girl. "We look out for each other!"
"Yeah!" Rumble added. "You mess with one of us!"
"You mess with all of us!" Tenders and Pip said together.
Sunny and Sour looked at each other, before they resume their fighting stance, "Then you will all die together!" Sunny said, as she and Sour charged at the four boys.
"Not so fast!" Discord called, making himself known.
"Oh, not the freak again!" Sour groaned.
"Are you talking to me?" Discord asked.
"Uh oh!" Button moaned. "You called him a freak!"
"Are you talking to me?"
"You shouldn't have done that!"
"Are you talking to ME?!"
"Now they're in for it."
"They called me, Mr. Freak!!" With an angry yell, Discord was nothing but a spinning tornado, like the tasmanian devil, as he makes his way towards the two girls.
Featherweight vs. Sugarcoat
Elsewhere, Sugarcoat had Featherweight cornered, when she, along with some Shadowbolts heard the commotion. It didn't take long for them to see the scuffle between Sunny, Sour, and Discord. Before long, the two unfortunate girls were running for their lives, completely scared out of their wits, with Discord, and the four boys taunting after them, and catching their breaths.
"Hey, guys!" Featherweight greeted, before he snapped a picture of Sugarcoat.
"Ah, my eyes!" Sugar moaned, blinded by the flash of light.
Featherweights rejoined the boys, as they all gave each other a high five. Sugarcoat then came, with a score to settle with Featherweight. The boys, however, stood defensive over their pal, as they put their fists up, ready for another fight. Frightened, Sugarcoat took off, running.
"C'mon guys!" Button said. "We gotta get back to Spike!"
Speaking of, the said dragon was still in the form of a statue, as it glows in a shimmering green aura. Twilight and the girls were still close by, as they kept watch over the dragon.
"It's okay Spike," Fluttershy whispered. "I'm here."
"We're all here for ya," Rainbow said.
Just then, the boys arrived, "Did we missed anything?" Button asked.
"Not at all Sugarcubes," Applejack answered. "It's still early."
"Way to go boys!" Twilight smiled. "From the looks of things, you've been busy."
"Well, we had Discord to thank for it," Button Mash smiled, as the said magician smiled and waved.
Just then, the statue cracked, "Oh, it's happening!" Rarity squealed.
Soon, both sides, gathered around, to see the event unfolding before them.
"C'mon, Spike!" Rainbow said, as she kicked one of the Shadowbolts away. "You can do it!"
Fleur clasped her hands together in anticipation.
"You got it," Sunset whispered.
At last, the statue cracked open, to reveal a new Spike, shrouded in dark smokes, and chains. His eyes snapped open, to reveal they were burning white.
"Spike?" Twilight asked.
"Not entirely!" Nightmare Moon's voice sounded.
