//------------------------------// // Nuclear Weapons // Story: Spike Dorcha // by Dragon-In-Black //------------------------------// Spike was currently in the far end of the Badlands, he had built a weapons testing facility there, and was without a doubt quite excited. He had the money to destroy the world if he felt like it. What he would do first though, is he would evacuate the ponies who believe in him, and then press the big red button. Spike was in his uniform and looked almost like a child preparing to try out something super cool. His commanders: Vux, Pinkie Pie, and Pipsqueak were currently with their leader. They were inside an enchanted stony building that had glass that was currently showing the outside of a very very large missile. Apparently it was inspired by a country from the human world named: North Korea, Spike had no idea why it had the name North in it, but he assumed that it perhaps was a split country. Spike was waiting to get the green light to shoot the large bad boy into the sky. He had used magic to produce non toxic flames so that it wouldn’t destroy the green life in Badlands or Equestria. Speaking of Badlands, the country had been getting incredible farms that managed to produce more vegetables more efficiently which was actually pointed out by Pinkie Pie. She may be a party pony, but she was an earth pony at the same time so she knew vegetables and plants best. Spike had used his magic to help produce the vegetables and fruits to make sure that their stores were fully stacked so they didn’t have to worry about that. Not that it had been a large problem, it was only that Spike hadn’t invested in it as much as he was putting every single tiniest bit into the military. Not that it was wrong. It is good to have a well equipped military, but he was using the bits the wrong way. Pipsqueak, although, believed in Spike a hundred percent and agreed with the smallest details that Spike said and only interjected when he had a better idea. Fluttershy had told Spike to be wise with the money, and to not spend it on anything useless. Spike agreed with her. Why would he waste thousands or even millions of bits on weapons from the human world's World War II that was old and rusty?! It made no sense! “Are we ready to launch the missiles?” Spike asked, in an authoritative voice. Pipsqueak nodded his head and picked up a phone that looked more like a brick. He pressed in a few numbers and then dialed the number. Spike was looking at the large rocket of destruction. With this weapon… he could take over any nation, and rule it with an iron claw! He was getting closer to his revenge for every day that passed. It wasn’t slow either. It was coming closer and closer to the point where Spike was considering to just invade and take over Equestria and rule alongside his aunt and two cousins. He didn’t count Shining Armor as he had no royal blood in him. It was one of the perks of belonging to The Pony Of Shadows- Spike stopped his line of thought. Where in the name of Equestria had he gotten that from? Spike shook his head to himself and sighed. He was just about to ask Pipsqueak when he heard a scream from said commander; “FIRE IT UP!” Spike looked towards the large missile, and saw how the fire from the lowest part fired up, and not many seconds later, it was up in the skies and was flying far, far away. Spike was sending it towards Griffinstone as he was quite angry with them. It was quite funny actually, it was as if he knew that a Griffin had done it to begin with… The rocket flew at an incredible speed, and anypony or creature would have been amazed if it wasn’t for the fact that it came from one of the most dangerous dictatorial, tyrannical regimes in the whole land of Equestria. To say that the countries around them were terrified would have been a very, very massive understatement. Some countries had tried to invade Badlands but had met the wrath of Spike. Spike’s Liberation Front were still trying to kill princess Celestia and found that it was getting harder and harder as the days’ go by. They didn’t mind that though, as they were there to serve their rightful leader. “That was beautiful wasn’t it?” Pipsqueak said, as he gave a salute to Spike who gave one back. Spike merely nodded and decided to head back to the castle. His commanders were right behind him, and Pipsqueak walked by the side with him and looked tall and proud as much as he could for a child. “So Spike, want to grab dinner with us tonight? We gotta celebrate.” Pipsqueak asked, making Spike look at him as he continued walking out of the bunkers of the military facility and put on his helmet. ”Sure, why not. We have many things to celebrate. So, what wine and whiskey shall we be drinking?” Spike asked, casually in his demonic-like tone. Pipsqueak was lost in his thoughts, but Fluttershy ran up to him and looked very stern. “Spike, you listen here mister. You are not of age to be drinking yet!” Fluttershy said, with her stare in full effect. Spike under his helmet was raising a brow towards her. Vux felt how her eyes were as wide as saucers as she looked over at the yellow coated mare. Did she just tell his majesties about what he should and shouldn’t do?! She was in for it now… ”Fluttershy, we are in the Badlands which is under my authority. Which means that I rule the whole land.” Spike said, in an irritated tone. Spike was pretty tired of always being babied all the time. Spike continued to walk past Fluttershy who looked dumbfounded that someone sounded so… casual when he spoke. It was as if she wasn’t using her infamous ‘stare.’ Pinkie smiled at Fluttershy and siad: “Don’t worry Fluttershy! I think the author left out one tiny bit of detail, and that is; Spike is mature enough to do adultery stuff, but don’t worry, he did rate this story for teens, so I guess we won’t see actual adultery.” Pinkie said, as she started to babble away so innocently. Fluttershy simply gave a nod that was very confused. Every single pony in Equestria was shocked… they had found out that Gilda Griffin was the one behind the killing of Fleur De Lis. Everypony who believed Spike was guilty could probably have died from guilt. If that would have been possible, then half of Equestrias population would have been eradicated. Princess Celestia was in her room feeling anger, but she felt strange… she felt as though, somepony or creature was controlling her. She wasn’t really angry, but it was still there… She wanted to contact Spike who she undoubtedly assumed was the king or dictator of Badlands. She was lucky that the Crystal Ponies didn’t hear her thoughts. If they did, she would have been murdered and resurrected multiple times. Princess Twilight Sparkle and the remaining of the element bearers were so gloomy, they would have gloomy countries have a run for their money. Twilight was depressed and so sad. She didn’t know what to do or say. When Rarity had told them the news, they thought it had been an absolutely terrible prank. When they found out that it wasn’t, that is a whole different story. Applejack was kicked out of the barn and was stripped from the family title. She wasn’t even allowed to work on the farm anymore. Rainbow Dash had lost her job at the weather factory. She didn’t know how she was ever gonna earn money, but she knew that she had to do something. Twilight was the luckies at being the princess. She earned her money from the tax that goes around Equestria. That is also how princess Celestia and Luna earn their money. Rarity had really fallen from grace, as she had heard her sister Sweetie Belle had defected the country. She couldn’t make clothes anymore, and had to shut down her whole business. She had been thinking about defecting herself and wondered if she could possibly try to earn Spike-wikey’s forgiveness. She could make clothes for the military, or even become a hoof soldier and actually go against everything she stands for. She didn’t know what she was gonna do, but she did know that it could change the future of Equestria forever. A Griffin just stepped out of his home when he heard strange noises coming from the sky. He looked up, and saw a giant rocket like those he uses for the new years. It was coming right towards the middle point of Griffinstone… Then he heard a loud BOOM Then, fire started to come towards him at an alarming rate, and then… he was burnt… alive… together with so many other Griffin women and children who were screaming in fear and pain.
