Two years had flown by, and Spike was more powerful than ever. He was still hostile to certain ponies like Blueblood who was terrified of him. Blueblood had tried to throw him out of the castle, when Spike had shown him pitch balck eyes that showed no mercy whatsoever. Spike had then halfy killed him. Almost. Spike did not intend to get arrested for nearly killing an idiot of a stallion prince.
Spike and Luna’s relationship had become stronger than ever. She was so happy to have a non snobbish relative, even though it may not be by blood. They had gotten to know each other well, and Spike wanted to learn so much about her. She felt special in that sense. She had never told him that she had seen him cut off his wings that did not look like dragon wings. They looked so angelic. She felt like she wasn’t in any position to question him about that.
Although she had a theory that he might be an angel. Because he had told her a very interesting story that might be his past life or life. He had explained it like this:
“I don’t know auntie Luna. Some stallions simply want some mare for their body.” Spike said, as he tried to sooth his aunt who was angry and depressed that the stallion she had taken a liking to simply was interested in her body.
Luna was beside him to his right but didn’t say anything as they stood on her balcony, looking up at her beautiful night sky. Spike felt calm, but he knew those stars were illusions of Faust. He didn’t know why, but he felt like he should tell her his life story when he was an angel.
“There was once an angel that I have forgotten the first and last name of, but anyways. A fellow brother of his was telling him how he would be way better than Faust and that they should rebel against her. The angel agreed, and helped him out during the rebellion. The angel that wanted to be like Faust was Lucifer Morningstar the son of the morning. He failed the rebellion. The angel was arrested, and by Faust herself, was sent to a different dimension to answer for his crimes. He was gonna learn to redeem himself, but the legend says that he is not interested.” Spike said, making Luna turn to him and had a look in her face. One that Spike didn’t see. It was a look that spoke thousands of words. She had a look that one uses when they are listening to someone's life story. She had a feeling that this might be his story and not a random angel.
“Interesting story. What happened to him afterwards?” Luna asked, hoping that she could hear what her dear nephew was thinking. She truly loved Spike, In more ways than one…
“Some say that he was reincarnated as a creature and is living somewhere. Angry that he lost the rebellion together with his angel brothers and sisters and is waiting for his revenge.” Spike said, looking at Luna who had a grim look on her face. She felt a pang of empathy for him. She was waiting a thousand years for her revenge, just to realize she wanted some recognition. If she had known that, she wouldn’t have tried to genocide the ponies. Then again, what difference would it have made anyways? Not so much.
She felt sad for her nephew if that was his true story. She wanted to hug him and tell him he was loved, but he didn’t seem like he was that kind of dragon to begin with. He held a lot of anger and frustration over what he had done. If he regretted it, then that was something Luna didn’t know. He didn’t seem to have regretted it. Then again, he was not very clear with his body language either.
Spike was at this very moment, in the Crystal Empire, trying to help the ponies of the Crystal Empire by not dropping the Crystal Heart. It would help them against the dreaded King Sombra. Spike was standing on some kind of reeling and knew that he was gonna fall off at any given moment. Then it happened. He fell…
He lost his grip on the Crystal Heart and he felt how he was getting angry because of it. He tried grabbing the Crystal Heart but it wasn’t working. Then, when Spike thought he had failed everypony and creature. Princess Cadance flew in and saved the Crystal Heart and Spike. Princess Cadance, although her full name is Mi Amore Cadenza, she is a alicorn mare married to Twilight Sparkle’s brother Prince Shining Armor.
She has light purple eyes, moderate violet with moderate rose and pale gold streaked mane and tail. She has a pale, light grayish cerise coat. Her wings were wide as Spike rode on her back as she used all of her strength to fly and carry the Crystal Heart with her magic, plus Spike who was riding her. She felt the air in her lungs burning as she did her best not to pass out. Spike was looking around and saw where KIng Sombra was standing. He was standing on black crystals that were tainted with corruption and revulsion. He had a shocked look on his face as Cadance proceeded to land on the crystal ground. Her subjects have called her “The Crystal Princess.”
“The Crystal Heart has returned. Use the light and love within you, that King Sombra does not.” Cadance said, making her subjects bow when the Crystal Heart was placed in the middle point of the whole kingdom. Spike showed his love. He may not like the ponies, but the Crystal Ponies was the number one exception after everything they went through.
The ground of the Crystal Empire started to shine pure white light. It shows how much the ponies love and cherish. Yet, there are still many wars that the ponies created themselves. Spike could only shake his head at the sheer stupidity. He wasn’t gonna clean their messes. He had no time for such things.
After they had saved the whole empire, they traveled back to Canterlot where Twilight heard she had passed the test. Spike simply rolled his eyes. When asked why he had rolled his eyes he then proceeded to say: “Twilight got the test yes? Well, Princess Celestia never said that she had to solely rely on herself. If she can’t make sacrifices then how is she supposed to succeed in everything else?” Princess celestia had then walked out and smiled down at Spike and looked at the Element Bearers.
She had told them that it was true, and that Twilight can’t always rely on herself. Spike had simply nodded and continued to roll his eyes at the dumb mare. Celestia had giggled and Applejack asked Spike how he knew how Celestia thought.
“Applejack, I am the assistant of Twilight Sparkle, who is my mentor, teacher, and sister. She has taught me everything I know. I was on every lesson Twilight had with her highness. Besides, I have learnt how to read poker faces for a very long time. She also never said that it was specifically Twilight who had to do it. I thought it was easy.” Spike said, as he shook his head at the farmer.
Celestia had stifled a giggle and Twilight had shook her head at Spike. Not out of anger or disappointment, but because he was so smart. Tartarus, maybe even smarter than herself!
That night, when everypony was in bed, Spike was looking into the body mirror in Canterlot castle and felt something on his back. Suddenly he felt immense pain as his back felt like it would break at any moment. Spike was on the floor having a coughing fit as he tried to cover his mouth. Then finally, his scales let out two large wings. Spike turned on the light and looked shocked. His wings were one of angels but they were coal black from corruption. Spike was shocked. How and why had he gotten them?
