//------------------------------// // Spike versus Malachor Twilight Chapter 4 // Story: Spike versus Malachor Twilight // by Flameboy //------------------------------// "Ha! You think you can defeat me?! Your powers are useless! The corruption I gave to you was worth the cause! For I now have your precious element of Magic, and your precious Princess of Friendship under my complete control as she tries to face her demons!" Malachor laughed maniacally. "I should have never agreed to take your deal with that horn you gave me! I just wanted to be a full unicorn once again!" Fizzlepop said. "And the demons she's facing is because of you! And I will never forgive you for what you've done to my sister!" Shining Armor said. "And my daughter, as well!" Night Light added. Then, he shot a pink blast of magic at him which was followed by Shining's magic, Celestia's, Luna's, Cadence's, Flurry Heart's, and Fizzlepop's lightning, and Torch's fire breath. Next, all of their beams of their special magic properties combined together into a rainbow of magic, fire, and lightning. Malachor raised his hands and puts up a dark magical barrier in front of him, and used his strength in dark magic to block theirs. Then, with his barrier, like a shield, has parried the magic away and up through the hole that the others went through to talk some sense into Twilight. Torch started to crouch, and then went into a full on charge towards Malachor. Malachor, however, stopped him by using a black hue of lightning and zapped the former Dragon Lord and stunned him with burnt marks from the lightning. Celestia and Luna flew high into the sky like they did when facing King Sombra, and blasted beams of yellow and blue towards their enemy. That too was parried and they too got zapped by Malachor's lightning. Then, one by one, they all ended up being zapped by his lightning. Malachor started to laugh maniacally once again. Meanwhile, at the upper level... The Extreme Squad, along with the cutie mark crusaders, the Mane5, and the Young6, were watching as Spike was being given a right boxing hook from Twilight's right hoof, which was then followed by a left boxing hoof. The others didn't stop Twilight because Spike told them not to. For he didn't want his friends to get hurt or his corrupted sister to get hurt by their friends. Luckily, they all agreed that they didn't want to fight their friend either. "Um, hey Spike, need any help?" Jonathan asked while raising his left hand up to his mouth. "I'm good! Just stay put! I'll try to get through to her!" Spike said while he was just standing there, and not doing anything while his manipulated/corrupted sister keeps fighting him. Twilight stops and raises her right hoof and her head and gave a similar grunt of annoyance like she did when trying to perform an age spell on a flower. "Why won't you fight back, demon?!" She shouted and snorted a puff of black smoke like she did in A Canterlot Wedding Part One. "Because I don't want to! And besides, if I was a demon, would I attack you now and leave you for dead?" He said while crossing his arms and raising his right eyebrow up. The corrupted alicorn raised her right hoof up and opened her mouth, but, then she opens her eyes fully and then looks to the left with her right eyebrow up and stares at the ground in confusion. Next, she lifts her head back up again. "Fair point. But, prove to me you're not a demon," she said calmly yet still determined. Spike shuts his eyes closed, puts his arms out wide, and then starts to shrink down by saying this word. "Shabooey," Spike said as a flash of white appeared from his chest and consumed all of his body, and when it was gone, little Spike was there once again. Next, he puts his arms behind his back. "Here, come over to me and place your hoof on my chest to see if I have a heart," he said calmly, yet surprisingly determined with confidence as he stared at the alicorn. "You're not afraid as to what I my do to you if you don't have a heart?" Malachor Twilight said confusingly. "Nope. Because I know you will love the answer," He said confidently as to if his plan to bring Twilight back to the light and away from the darkness that monster has placed upon her. "Pfft! Fine!" She scoffed. Then, she trotted slowly, but not too slowly, as she trots over to the little demon. Her shadow ran across Spike's face as he stood completely still as he looked up at the eyes of her sister that wasn't her usual color. "Don't make any funny businesses, demon," she said while squinting her eyes. "I plan not to," Spike said with his eyebrows burrowed upwards. Then, he sees her corrupted sister tilt her head to his left and back to him, signaling him that she rolled her eyes. Then, Corrupted Twilight lifted her right hoof and started to look at it as she slowly and carefully moves her hoof closer and closer to the little demon's chest. Then, finally, she places it on his chest, and squinted her eyes when she didn't feel a heartbeat in 2 seconds. "Prepare to die, demo-!" She said until a second later, she felt a heartbeat. Then, her fangs shrunk and turned back into her normal teeth. Well, except the fact that she still had four canine teeth. and then she burrowed her eyebrows upward. "That's- That's impossible! Demons shouldn't have ONE heart or even HAVE one to begin with! How do you-?!" "Twilight-," The corrupted alicorn stopped moving her mouth and listened to what the supposed little demon that looked like a dragon was saying. "-please wake up," Spike said as he takes his left paw from behind and places it on top of the alicorn's right hoof. Right after he said that, Twilight closes her eyes and shakes her head to the left and the right once and faced her head towards the demon. Then, the black stuff on her flank started to disappear and reveal her cutie mark. But some of the black stuff remained on Twilight's flank as panties. Her legs were covered in black thigh highs. Her forearms were covered in black evening gloves while her chest was being covered in a bra. The black stuff cracked and disappeared from Twilight face. Then, she opened them, which showed her pupils inside her red eyes and saw a familiar dragon that she thought was dead. "S-Spike, is that you?" she said while choking on tears. The dragon looked at her with tears of his own. "Yes, Twilight, it's me. I'm alright, and I am alive," Spike said happily as he buried his face into Twilight's chest. Twilight started shedding tears as a white color appeared from all sides of her pupils and turned her cornea back to what it was with the addition of her violet iris returning back. "Spike!" Twilight shouted happily as she placed her right hoof on his back and puts her head behind him. Everycreature stood watch as they saw a brother and a sister reunite. Back at the lower level... Everycreature stood facing towards Malachor with bruises from all sorts of places. Torch's wings were scraped while those with feathers have lost some of them. Manes were messy and little patches of blood trailed down from some of their body parts. Even poor Flurry Heart was bruised and battered and has lost some of her feathers. Malachor raised his hands and created a giant ball of dark magic, with purple lightning emanating from it. It was the same one used yet bigger to corrupt those and put them under his total control. But, then he stopped as he felt a disturbance in the wind and knew what happened from above. "Son of a-!" To Be Continued.
