//------------------------------// // Spike vs Midnight: Part 2 // Story: Spike the Fairy // by PonyJoel //------------------------------// Spike and Midnight Sparkle are closer to the Crystal Heart. Their back in Princess Cadance's throne room. "Spike, I'm going to ask you one last time. Come to me so I can change the world for the better. We're supposed to rule Equestria side-by-side. Me, being the Princess of Friendship and you being my Ambassador of Friendship." "How can you proclaim yourself as Princess of Friendship when you murdered a young filly!?" Spike is livid. "She's bound to do more evil with Lord Tirek as her friend. Mard Geer showed me the world we're supposed to live in, not this dystopian world every creature has. After I kill Fairy Dragon and erase your memories, I'll bring you back with good memories of me! We'll create a new world together as it should once I reset time itself!" Midnight Sparkle flies directly at Spike. "Meteor Rain!" Spike flies and conjures Sparkling Green Lightning Flame Orbs on Midnight Sparkle. They explode all around her on contact. Midnight Sparkle flies through after consuming the magic within the spell. She lands a punch on Spike's chest and slams him on the floor. Spike falls and lands hard. Midnight Sparkle's hands glow purplish-black. "Chaos Crystals!" Combining her power with King Sombra's magic, Midnight Sparkle creates crystal missiles to mimic Spike's Ice Paladin Strike. Within the crystal contains aqua blue incinerating flames. She spawns dozens of them. "Launch!" The Chaos Crystals go after Spike. Spike uses his fire breath to teleport away from the Chaos Crystals. He's behind Midnight Sparkle. "Fairy Dragon Roooooooooar!" Spike unleashes his Sparkling Green flames at Midnight Sparkle. Midnight Sparkle smirks. "Earlier, that would have hurt me. Now, thanks to my fallen allies, I'm more durable, resistant, and powerful. You can't harm me." "Watch me!" Spike mimics her claws like guns and shoots flaming bullets at Midnight Sparkle. Midnight Sparke walks while taking Spike's attack head-on. "Lightning Inferno Flame!" Midnight Sparkle grabs his mouth. "You talk too much!" Her hand glows red and releases an exploding fireball. Spike crashes into the wall. He concentrates on his magic power; He looks at Midnight's eyes. "There is one spell I know that'll end you!" A wave of powerful magic amplifies the area while Spike's claws are in motion. "It's that spell again!" Midnight remembers Fairy Law and how it obliterated her during the Grand Magic Games. "This is where it ends, Demon!" Spike claps his claws. "I invoke, Fairy Law!" A bright light of power flashes throughout the throne room. However, Midnight combines Lord Tirek and Sombra's magic into encasing Fairy Law's magic power within an absorbing crystal. "Sorry, that won't help you this time," Midnight Sparkle tosses the crystal and tackles Spike. She burst through the wall and tosses Spike hard on the ground. She and Spike are in the corridors of the Crystal Castle. Spike pants while losing more magic energy from the spell alone. He crawls away a bit while Midnight Sparkle runs up to him and kicks his head. Midnight catches Spike from going further and slams him hard on the floor. "Time to erase your mind," Midnight's hand glows greenish-black. She places her hand on Spike's head, and it repels. "Aaaaaah!" Midnight groans a bit. "Rage?" Spike figures it out and smiles. "Right before Rage left, he casts a protection barrier in my mind. No matter how powerful you are, you'll never erase my mind!" Midnight Sparkle growls due to the revelation. "Fine! I take all the magic on this planet and restart time itself! I'll kill you and all the others, so no one stands in my way!" Midnight Sparkle's body is ablaze in aqua blue flames. "Starting with you!" Midnight Sparkle unleashes a wave of her aqua blue flames. Spike smirks. "Special delivery," Spike breathes his fire, teleporting Natsu in front. "What!?" Midnight Sparkle didn't speculate that Spike could teleport his friends into the battle. "Get in my belly!" Natsu consumes the aqua blue flames. "Dragon Slayer Secret Art!" Natsu's right hand is ablaze with his flames; his left is ablaze in Midnight's flames. "Flame Loaded Demonic Flame Blade!" Natsu circularly swipes his arms, creating a powerful and highly destructive torrent of aqua blue flames and his flames at Midnight Sparkle. Midnight Sparkle gets hit with the attack and hurls away from the two. She crashes into a different room of the Crystal Castle. "Thanks for coming," Spike gets up. "Thanks for letting me get one on her. I've been aching to give that woman a beating she deserves," Natsu said. "We're taking her down. Just like we took down Zero, Hades, Ophiuchus, and Jackal. Dragons stick together," Natsu gives Spike flames to eat to replenish his magic power. Midnight Sparkle returns to the corridors after dusting herself. "I must say, that was quite impressive. However, this is the part that I won't be holding back anymore." "Sky Dragon Wing Attack!" Wendy comes from behind, striking Midnight with a whirlwind of air from her arms. Midnight Sparkle gets launched in the air by Wendy's attack. Midnight crashes into the ceiling. "You," Midnight remembers Spike's girlfriend. She falls off the ceiling and lands on the floor. "Sky God Boreas!" Sherria generates two spiraling black currents creating a massive whirlwind. Midnight Sparkle gets hit a second time from behind. Midnight Sparkle wails from the impact hurl towards Wendy and Natsu. "Fire Dragon Iron Fist!" "Sky Dragon Crushing Fang!' Wendy and Natsu combine their dragon punch attack, sending a flurry of wind and fire on impact. Midnight Sparkle lands on her feet and claws on the floor to stop her movement. "How are you here when my army is out there? I have an unending wave coming here to the Crystal Empire!" "There are no more soldiers that you control, Midnight," Wendy confesses. "What?!" Natsu and Spike shout in shock. They are astounded to hear the best news ever. "WHAT?!" Midnight Sparkle looks at the window of the corridor. The skies and streets are empty; no Techno-Magic-Soldier in sight. Then she sees Chrysalis coming straight at her. Chrysalis shoots a powerful magic beam from her horn; it burns Midnight Sparkle due to the cleansing the Crystal Heart gave to Chrysalis. Midnight Sparkle crashes into the wall. Spike, Natsu, Wendy, Sherria, and Chrysalis follow Midnight Sparkle. She is on her knees from the impact. "It's over. You've lost," Spike said. Midnight Sparkle becomes erratic with her flow of power and emotions. "It's over when I SAY IT'S OVER!" A violent burst of power pushes everyone back a bit. Midnight Sparkle roars in rage while increasing her size when she tapped into Lord Tirek's power. Midnight Sparkle is the size of a quarter dragon. Her Demon Curses and magic power increase with the sheer size. Midnight Sparkle's hands glow aqua blue and swipe her arms. The aqua blue flames push everyone away with great force. Spike, Natsu, Sherria, Wendy, and Chrysalis crash into the windows and land outside the Crystal Castle. "I WILL NOT BE DENIED OF MY DESTINY TO RULE EQUESTRIA AS PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP!!! I'M COMING FOR YOU, SPIKE!!! WE'RE GOING TO BE TOGETHER IN THE NEW WORLD ORDER!!!" Midnight Sparkle punches the wall, creating a large hole for her to leave the Crystal Castle. Many creatures at the center flee from the scenery after seeing Midnight Sparkle's height advantage. Princess Luna sees the monstrosity Midnight has become. Every Earth Land Wizard sees Midnight Sparkle. Lector, Happy, Frosch, and Carla are in hiding for the time being. "Last one," Gray walks up to Spike, Natsu, Wendy, Sherria, and Chrysalis. "Sure is a tall order, no pun intended," Orga said. "I recall no recollection of you making puns, Orga," Rufus said. "No matter how big or small our enemy is, we will win," Erza arrives. "Oh yea, I've been looking forward to this for a long time," Gajeel said. He cracks his knuckles while chuckling a bit. "Sabertooth got your back, Spike," Sting speaks on behalf of his guild. "Likewise with Lamia Scale," Lyon said. "I'm here for you, Spike," Kagura said. "The Thunder Legion has arrived," Bickslow said. Laxus, Freed, Evergreen, and Romeo look up at Midnight Sparkle. "It's time to end this party," Pinkie wants to fight Midnight Sparkle. Applejack and Rainbow Dash see Pinkie Pie standing up to Midnight. Instead of fleeing with every creature else, the two nod and gallop up to Pinkie. They want to make a stand. Midnight Sparkle sees every Earth Land Wizard walking up. She becomes angry. "I'm going to end you all right now!" She sees Pinkie, Applejack, and Rainbow Dash and feels betrayed by them. More creatures decide to make a stand and fight for their homelands. They won't run from a tyrant. They won't allow fear to get the better of them. Midnight Sparkle sees the armies of every creature banding together. She steps back a bit while trying to calculate her best motive.
