Dark Spike was meanwhile in Tartarus in the past and currently looking through the cells
"Where are you Tirek?"
He then eventually saw a familiar cell with an elderly centaur and smirked before turning invisible.
Tirek was sinply laying in the cell and looking around with a blank look on his face, until
"Tireeeeekkkk." An unknown voice said
"Who said that?" Tirek asked
"Tireeeeeeekkkkkk." The voice said again
"Who are you?! Show yourself!" Tirek demanded
"Turn around."
The centaur turned and saw the evil Spike face him and said "Who are you?"
Dark Spike simply grabbed him by the neck and said "Your future."
Tirek, now shocked from thus attack, had an idea and said "Not if your power is mine!"
He attempted to steal the dragon's power, but nothing happened.
"What?! Why isn't your magic draining!?" Tirek said in shock
"Because i stole that power from you while you sat played like a fiddle you old fool." Dark Spike answered
He then instantly snapped the evil centaur's neck, dropping his body in his cell. With a satsified look, Dark Spike said
"Now for phase two."
He then teleported out of the Tartarus.
In Twilight's castle, she and her friends were together and with Starlight.
Twilight first said as she and the girls had sat on their respective chairs.
"Now I'm sure your all wondering why your here?" Twilight asked
The girls nodded as Twilight then said "You may wanna look at the Cutie Map."
They did so and saw the Cutie Map had all the girls cutie marks to Ponyville and the 3 princesses and Shining Armor's to Canterlot. But then Spike's icon appeared as well on both, but there was one minor difference of the icon. The green spike's were sharp and instead of light purple scales, the scales were darker.
"Finally some action!" Rainbow Dash said
"So where are we going?" Fluttershy asked
"We have to go in Ponyville. But Cadance and Shining have to go in Camterlot with Princess Celestia and Princess Luna. But thats not why I brought you here." Twilight said
Starlight then revealed "We brought you here because of Spike."
This confused the mares, as Rainbow Dash asked "What about Spike?"
"Look at the map." Twilight told them.
They did so and saw "Spike's" icon appear on both locations. Leaving the girls surprised.
"He has 2 friendship mission's?!" Rarity asked
"But how?" Applejack asked
"I dont know? But when ours came on, his did as well." Twilight said
"But wait, how is he going to do both at the same time?" Rainbow Dash asked
A loud bang was heard and shook the castle
"What was that?!" Twilight said
The girls left the castle and saw an all to familiar figure attacking Ponyville. Twilight gave a look of fury upon recognizing him.
"Tirek!"
The centaur turned and blasted the girls, who narrowly dodged and began to battle him.
As the centaur continued to attack. Dark Spike watched as he battled the girls.
"Time for phase three."
He teleported away from Ponyville.
The Princesses and Prince Shining Armor were fighting Chrysalis in Canterlot and flew in the aky blasting magic at her. The princesses and Chrysalis with their wings and Shining with his magic.
"This ends now Chrysalis!" Celestia said
"Give up while you can!" Shining Armor said
"Chrysalis" only refused to respond and continued to battle.
As they fought, she suddenly disappeared in front of them.
"Where did she go?" Cadance asked
Dark Spike appeared behind and saw they were distracted and used the chance to blast them.
"4 down, 7 more to go." Dark Spike said as he grabbed them each and used his magic to teleport them and dissipate the fake Chrysalis.
Back in Ponyville, things were going not so well as no matter what attack they threw, "Tirek" only either phased his body like a ghost or dodged easily.
"Why isn't he being hit?!" Rainbow Dash asked
"My magic isn't even touching him!" Starlight said
As they tries in vain to attack. "Tirek" suddenly disappeared.
"What the?!" The girls shouted in surprise
"Twilight!" A voice called out
The girls turned and saw it was "Spike" and the Princesses along with Prince Shining Armor approaching.
"Princess Celestia!" Twilight approached and hugged her mentor
"Are you alright?" Celestia asked
"Yes princess, we fought Tirek until something happened." Twilight said
"He disappeared when we fought him." Starlight said
"That is indeed odd, the same thing happened when Chrysalis attacked Canterlot." Luna said
This statement shocked the girls. As Twilight asked
"Wait, Chrysalis attacked Canterlot?!"
"Yes, but oddly, it was only her and none of her Changelings were with her." Cadance said
"This doesn't add up, first they suddenly attack and now they disappear. What's going on?!" Rainbow Dash said
"Maybe they were just another prank of yours." "Spike" said in a tone of sarcasm, causing her to look at him as if he grew two heads
"Spike, come on, I'm maybe a prank master, but I would never go that far." Rainbow Dash said in defense.
"With all the pranks you and the others play on me and each other, i wouldn't be surprised. And you say your loyalty" "Spike" only said in a harsh tone
The ponies were a bit surprised at the accusation the dark dragon made at the Element of Loyalty, Rainbow Dash only gave a hurt look at the baby dragon as Applejack said in defense
"That's enough Spike!, sure she maybe a jokester, but you shouldn't be pointing hooves at anypony."
"You sure your not just covering for her? I mean you are the Element of Honesty and yet your never honest when it comes to yourself. Ps life isn't just about one fruit." "Spike" said in a sarcastic tone
The dragon then walked away out of annoyance as the ponies only looked at him in disbelief at his rude actions and words towards the others.
"Spike! That wasn't very nice! Apologize." Twilight said as she approached
"Or what?" "Spike" said
"That's enough Spike!" Starlight said in defense
"No-one cares you hypocrital communist idiot! And by the way, if you wanted to live in an equal society, equal doesn't mean using your magic to control an entire village and showing an superiority God complex everytime you mention your magic." "Spike" replied in a harsh, adding tge last part with distaste and scorn.
This left the pink mare silent and broken as "Spike" only looked with amusement, ready for the next phase.
"Spike, what is going on with you?!" Twilight asked him, angry at his words
The baby dragon was about to answer, until 3 familiar fillies arrived
"We'll tell you what's going on!"
The ponies lookes while "Spike" glared, it was none other then the Cutie Mark Crusaders!
"Or instead show you!" Sweetie Belle said
She then blasted her magic at "Spike"
The immense blast began to remove his disguise and reveal his true form. After the blast was finished, he fell on the ground, exposed.
