//------------------------------// // Spike versus Malachor Twilight Chapter 2 // Story: Spike versus Malachor Twilight // by Flameboy //------------------------------// "No!" Spike said softly. "This can't be!" He said. Then he moved with no restraint coming from the twins. He stood back up. Then, placed his right paw on his chest. "Twilight! It's me!.. Spike!" He pleaded to save his sister from Malachor's control. "DON'T YOU DARE SAY THAT NAME OR EVEN CALL YOURSELF THAT, YOU HEARTLESS DEMON!" Possessed Twilight (who stood in front of Malachor) screamed as she raised and pointed her right hoof towards the demon. "After what you did to him with help from your friends, you have the galls to call yourself the name of which you murdered!" She said as she stamped her right hoof hard into the ground which actually caused pebbles to fly up. Everyone stood still after what they just heard Twilight say in disbelief. "What are you talking about, Twilight?!" Spike said with his eyebrows down. "And don't call me "Twilight!" Only my friends and family would call me that!" She yelled at him while she squinted her red eyes that had black smoke coming from her eyes. "What do you mean by that?" Spike questioned her with his right eyebrow up. Malachor, who stood back, started to speak when he pointed his right finger up at the ceiling. "Well, young dragon, let me tell you this: she won't be able to hear what I'm going to say." "Huh?" Spike said as he still held his right eyebrow up. "You see, you wanted to know where Twilight was, right? Well, maybe this will help. Remember when you saw me using my magic to corrupt you?" "Yeah? So?" "You see when I had you, Fizzlepop, Storm, Celestia, Luna, Chrysalis, Storm King and Trixie under my control, I had a little task for you," he said as he started grinning wildly to the left and sat back on his throne. "What kind of "task?" Storm asked. "Well, I needed someone powerful, powerful just like Celestia and Luna. In fact, it's all thanks to you and my other puppets for getting me that princess." "Wait, you mean-" "Yes, Celestia. I sent you, Spike, Luna, Storm, Trixie, Chrysalis, and Torch, while under the leadership of Sombra Tempest, to capture your precious Twilight Sparkle." "Gasp!" Everyone said. Malachor Twilight started walking down the thousand steps after he said that. Luna: Y-Y-You monster! "Don't you DARE call my savior a "monster!" Corrupted Twilight shouted with her head perked up and then lowered like a predator stalking its prey. Spike, all scared now, shrank back to his original side. "Twilight! Don't you see?! He used us to capture you! He's playing games with your mind!" Spike said as he placed his left finger up on the side of his head. "Like I said, she can't hear this part of our conversation. It's like flies buzzing to her ears." "How did we even capture her? Twilight knows teleportation and is very good at it," Celestia said to Malachor. "Oh, you didn't capture her. But I can show you who did," Malachor said as lifted his right hand up in the air with a red aura surrounding it. The reader sees a white light. The ponies and other creatures see a huge mirror. Meanwhile, back when Twilight was looking for everyone. She looked to see if she could find Spike in the dragon lands, but he wasn't the only dragon that was missing. She sees Ember and flies over to her. Back at Malachor's lair... "Hey, that's when Twilight came to ask where you were, Spike," Ember pointed to the mirror as she stood on Storm King's left. Then, they saw the corrupted versions of Tempest, Spike, Celestia, Luna, Storm King, and Trixie riding on Torch's back. Then, everyone saw Twilight talking to Ember. "Ember, take all the dragons to Ponyville. I'll buy you time. Go." "But Twilight?" "Go!" Twilight shouted at Ember the same way she did with Spike to bring the Crystal Heart to the fair. Next, everyone, including the ones that were no longer under Malachor's control watched as they saw Twilight staring at their past corrupted selves. Then, Torch let a huge stream of fire at Twilight. But Twilight shielded herself in a pink force field. Luckily, Torch, like all dragons have a certain time limit when breathing fire. Twilight then grabbed three huge boulders from behind him and dropped them on top of him. Torch looked surprise as he saw his past self almost toast the purple princess. Luckily, he was stopped before she would've gotten burnt alive. "I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me, Torch," Twilight said as she bowed with her left hoof farther away from her right one. Despite the fact he was once trapped under a huge pile of rocks, Torch decided to nod his head once. "Even though I was under that pile of rocks she still has respect for me," he said as he kept his eyes closed. "Just like I have for her," Torch said as he reopened his eyes. After Torch was stuck under a pile of rocks, Trixie tried to break her shield with her explosive magic. But, Twilight countered it with a force field reflect, which knocked Trixie onto the ground, onto her back, knocked out cold. Twilight held her left hoof up. "Sorry Trixie! I'll make it up to you as soon this is over! And I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me for that when you're not under Malachor's control!" Twilight shouted while saying sorry to one of her friends. Despite the fact that she knocked her out, Trixie knows that she had good intentions. "Trixie- I mean, "I" know you had good intentions, Twilight. But, I should be the one who should make it up to you. Twilight then looks at the remaining three attackers that surrounded her in the form of a triangle. Spike was behind Twilight on her right side while Storm King was behind her on her left side. Tempest stood in front of her. "*looks at Spike without moving her head* Don't make me *looks at Storm King* do this guys; *looks at Tempest* I don't want to hurt you," Twilight pleaded with mercy. But the three started to jump at the same time at Twilight. The reader sees a full view of Twilight's eyes. They were closed in confidence and remorse. Then, she opened them up and growled like a tiger as her eyes from the bottom to the top turned into a shade of green. Twilight quickly grunted in pain as she quickly turned into the Incredible Spark. She raised her tail up, and spins clockwise, thus knocking out three of her friends. "Spark sorry and hope you have in heart to forgive Spark," Spark said with her left finger pointing at the sky. Everyone was dumbfounded to see Twilight in full control of Spark. Celestia and Luna came running on two sides of Spark. Celestia on Spark's right, and Luna on Spark's left. She pushed her arms straight out and caught both of them by their necks within her clutches. "Sorry," she said and then she hit both Celestia and Luna's heads on the sides. Then, she let go them and let them drop to the ground. "Spark hope you have it in heart to forgive Spar- ah!" She yelled as a pink syringe plucked her left arm as she tried to point up at the sky with her right finger once again. But, then she grabbed it out of her arm and looked at it. She started to snort like a gorilla as she started to feel a little sleepy. She saw that Tempest had her right hoof up, indicating that she threw the syringe at her. Then, before she was about to walk towards her she felt what seemed to feel like 10 bee stings to the back. She looked behind to her left and saw Spike with his left paw up behind his back, meaning he threw the 10 syringes that equal 11 in total. Then, Spark fell down with a little feint gasp as she fell onto her chin. Then, a brown cloud of dust from the dirt washed over on the green behemoth, and when it disappeared, Twilight was on the ground. Tempest used her magic and levitated the princess of friendship onto her back where her head was on the left side of Tempest's body. Then, all the corrupted ones recovered for a little and decided to take flight once more and head back to Malachor's lair. Malachor's lair... Malachor placed his hands above Twilight as he used his dark magic to twist Twilight's mind and body. "When you awake, child, you will remember that an army of demons attack your friends and family and killed them all. And you remember that those vile creatures stopped when they killed your little brother, Spike," Malachor said as Twilight's tail turns fully black like paint being washed down. While that happens, Twilight sees a memory. Outside of the mirror that those were watching like a movie. Especially when Discord was eating popcorn and stopped when everycreature was looking at him. Then, they go back to watching the horrible event that was conspiring. As all of Twilight's friends and families were shedding tears of sadness. Inside the mirror... Images of Spike, Ember, and Thorax, and those who were corrupted by Malachor appeared in Twilight's mind, and their colors along their eyes, turned black and red. "They tortured each one of your friends and laughed while did it," Malachor said as an unconscious Twilight made a frowny face as well as grinning with the right side of her mouth, where a flat tooth cracked and was separated from the others and started to sharpen into a fang. Her back hooves, and her flank, along with her cutie mark were covered in black skin with purple smoke making the black skin and red lightning hardening the skin as it struck like a needle. "With this power I give to you, you will soon have your revenge as well as avenge your friends," he said as Twilight's upper body along with her wings and forearms began to turn charcoal. Then, finally, Twilight's mane, horn, and then to the center between her eyes, were now black. Twilight opens her eyes with a jaguar roar, but there was no white cornea, no purple irises, and no pupils. Just RED, EVIL-LOOKING EYES. She stands up with help from her hooves, then she lowers her body on to the floor. "Thank you for giving me this power, Master," she said as she bows her head.
