Spike was in his bed sleeping. As he slept, he tossed and turned as he tried to rest
(In Spike's mind)
Spike slowly woke up and saw he was near the forest entrance to Ponyville.
"Huh? Why am I near Ponyville?" Spike asked himself confused
He walked through the entrance of Ponyville and saw Twilight's castle far from the distance being crowded by other ponies.
"What the hay is going on?!" Spike said
As he continued to the pathway to Twilight's castle, he saw a bunch of ponies at the entrance holding signs of the girls and were arguing with one another.
As Spike looked around the arguing ponies, he tried to get their attention, but none paid attention to him. He then noticed the doors opened and Twilight was there.
"Everypony please stop!" The purple alicorn shouted
As soon as she shouted, the crowd turned to Twilight and faced her. One pony came and asked Twilight.
"Princess Twilight, I'm with the Canterlot Chronicle. Quick question, what would you say to ponies who wonder why you moved to Ponyville in the first place?"
This left Twilight baffled as she answered firmly
"I moved here to learn about friendship. That's why the journal even exists. It took some time for me to get the hang of it, but it was each of these ponies standing next to me who taught me the lessons in these journals. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Fluttershy too. Then it was all of you. I've learnex so much from-"
The reporter pony cut off Twilight and said
"What I mean is, some ponies would argue that it doesn't seem believable that the six of you would be friends."
"Hey, leave her alone!" Spike said to defend Twilight.
However, he wasn't heard by the angry mob, until he saw an familiar figure. The figure was revealed to be Spike, but he looked like he was in pain. He clenched his chest in pain as his eyes flared red.
"Hey! Get outta here!" The mind Spike said to the mob
The mob however turned to him and a mare said
"Hey, isn't that the lizard that lives with the Princess?"
"I'M A DRAGON!" Mind Spike and Real Spike said together
"Princess Twilight, why do you let this savage creature live here?" The same reporter pony asked
"He's not a savage, he's my number 1 assistant!" Twilight defended
"So he's not your friend?" One stallion asked
"I never said that!" Twilight tried to reason
"But he's not in the journal you made." A filly pointed out
"Is he an servant from Canterlot for you and the Elements?" An mare asked
"No, he's our friend!" Rarity refuted in defense
"Does he have to live in Ponyville?" Another stallion said
"SERVANT?!" Mind Spike said, his eyes flared red as he shouted.
The ground shook as he shouted, the girls looked at Spike as he clenched his chest. The mob backed away slightly as the girls looked in concern at Spike
"Spike? Are you ok?" Starlight asked
"ok?, OK?!" Spike said, his tone getting more icier.
Spike got up, showing his eyes, which were red and had tears streaming down his face, then shouted at the girls and the mob.
"Everytime, EVERYTIME! Whenever I help you and your friends I have to do every chore, every mess, every duty and responsibility for your own petty selfish needs! I am actually surprised any of you bothered to even call me your friend when NONE of you treat me like one!
"Spike, that's not true! We just didn't have enough time and had to help our friends." Twilight replied
Spike only turned to her and angrily responded
"Time?! Your the Princess of Friendship Twilight! Yet I'M the one that has to wipe your flank EVERYDAY and I don't even get a little gratitude over it! Not only that, but neither you or the girls take me to have fun either! Or on friendship missions! Amd your supposed to be Celestia's protege! Your just a joke!"
This shocked the girls as Spike ranted to Twilight, who's jaw dropped as she shed tears from his words. Rainbow Dash stepped up and said to Spike
"Spike come on! Lay off her! It wasn't her fault!"
"Ohhhh! Look who speaks, Miss Flight School Dropout! You are the worst compared to Twilight or the girls! You make fun of me for being a dragon, constantly prank me with pranks, always bully me because I can't use magic or fly or almost kill me! You even froze me in a puddle during Hearts Warming!"
Rainbow Dash was shocked at Spike and replied "But that was just a joke!"
"Yeah, well you nearly KILLED me with that joke! I'm still ticked off and NONE pf you IDIOTS apologised! Not even these half-minded BUCKHEADS! " Spike ranted, his eyes flaring red more and his skin slowly turning dark.
The mob and the girls only looked at him shocked at his tirade.
"Did he just call us Buckheads?!" The reporter pony before said
"Who does that lizard think he is?!" A mare said outraged
"And what do you know of the Elements of Harmony or the Princess?!" A colt asked smugly
Real Spike, looking at the scene with a shocked look said
"Wait...this must be one of my future self's memories! But why am I here?"
Memory Spike, with an angry look at the mob, shouted in a demonic version of his voice (with his eyes now turned red fully and his skin more dark along qith his scales sharpened)
"WHO DO I THINK I AM?!?!?!?!? I'M THE ONE THAT ACTUALLY KNOWS THE TRUTH OF BOTH THIS STUPID VILLAGE THE SO-CALLED ELEMEMTS OF HARMOMY!!!! THEY ARE JUST STUPID FOOLS GIVEN FALSE POWER WHILE I WAS A VICTIM OF FALSE HOPE AND FRIENDSHIP!!!!! NOW I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF BOTH AND I'M GOING TO BURN THIS FORSAKEN VILLAGE AND THIS PLANET TO THE GROUND!!!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT YOU STUPID HORSES DON'T EVEN KNOW THEM BECAUSE YOUR ALL TAKING FACTS FROM A STUPID BOOK!!!! DO YOU REALLY WANT TO HEAR MY ANSWER!!?!?!?!"
The mob of ponies nodded slowly and somewhat frightfully as Memory Spike slowly walked over, his scales slowly becoming more sharper.
"THEY ARE JUST MISERABLE, OVER COMPENSATED, HYPOCRITICAL, CHEATING, UNFAITFUL, DECEPTIVE, SPOILED AND DOWNRIGHT PHONY HERIES THAT ACT LIKE THEIR DOING GOOD FOR OTHERS WHEN IT'S JUST FOR THEMSELVES!!!!! NOT ONLY THAT, BUT I'M THE ONE THAT HAS TO ALWAYS GET HURT WHEN THEIR DOING SOME STUPID FRIENDSHIP MISSION OR ROYAL DUTY. BUT THAT'S SOMETHING YOU LOW-LIFE HORSES WILL NEVER GET BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO IT!!!!!!!! NOT ONLY THAT BUT A BOOK?!?! A BOOK?!?!?!?!, THEY MADE THIS BOOK TO SHOW WHAT THEIR FRIENDSHIPS MEANING WAS AND HOW MUCH IT PAIRED THEM, YET I KNOW WASN'T PART OF IT BECAUSE I HAD TO CATER TO THEM LIKE A DOG!!!!!! I MEAN RAINBOW DASH SAYS SHE'S LOYAL YET SHE USES ME FOR PRANKS, PINKIE SAYS SHE'S FRIENDS WITH EVERYPONY BUT TREATS ME LIKE A OBJECT, APPLEJACK IS ALWAYS HONEST YET SHE'S NEVER HONEST WITH HERSELF, RARITY IS SUPPOSED TO BE GENEROUS YET MAKES ME GET GEMS FOR STUPID CLOTHING SHE CAN MAKE ANYTIME, STARLIGHT IS ALWAYS THE ONE THAT MAY HAVE ISSUES BUT AT LEAST SHE GETS TREATED EQUALLY WHILE I'M BASICALLY A COAT WITH ARMS AND I'M PRETTY SURE TWILIGHT WANTED HER TO REPLACE ME, FLUTTERSHY IS ALWAYS KIND YET ACTS AS IF I'M AN ANIMAL COMLARED TO OTHER DRAGONS AND TWILIGHT ALWAYS SAYS I'M HER FRIEND YET TREATS ME LIKE A SLAVE TO THE POINT WHERE I WISH I COULD FIND MY BIRTH PARENTS, BUT I CAN'T SINCE HER STUPID MENTOR OF A PRINCESS TOOK ME FROM THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
The rant from Memory Spike left the whole mob and the girls speechless. They each had reactions some ponies where left shocked with disbelief, while others were left mortified. The girls however were the most affected.
Rarity was left in tears, with her makeup falling down her cheeks, Rainbow Dash only looked with disbelief and a dropped jaw, Applejack was left speechless and only shed some tears, Fluttershy only hid her face in her mane crying, Pinkie Pie's mane deflated from mane to tail as she heard his rant, Starlight was left shocked at his words and held a hoof to her heart, while Twilight was left in tears with a frown.
Memory Spike glowed red as a familiar amulet symbol surrounded him and circled his body. He levitated as the ponies looked in shock.
"SPIKE?!?!" The girls and Starlight said horrified at what was happening.
"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF ALL OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!" Memory Spike shouted
Memory Spike floated and as tears fell down his face, his transformation was now complete in a flash of light.
Spike's transformation had been completed and looked with distaste at the ponies.
(I don't own artwork, I will remove if necessary.)
"YOUR. TOO. LATE." Memory Spike said with a venomous tone
With that said, Memory Spike launched a fire blast at the girls from his mouth. The massive heat had been blocked from Twilight's forcefield protecting her and the girls.
"Can't...Hold it....any-!" Twilight struggled
The massive flames broke the forcefield and engulfed the girls, destroying the castle.
The ponies screamed in shock at the explosion as Memory Spike, now Dark Spike said
"Who's next?"
With that, he attacked the ponies before everything went black.
(Reality)
Spike had awoken from the dream, sweating in fear and shock
"Oh man, what an nightmare. Wait, why didn't Luna come like usual? Unless....it must have been that amulet piece in me from the previous day."
(In Canterlot)
Princess Luna had tried to access Spike's dream door in the dream world, but it wouldn't allow her access.
"Come on! Open.!" Luna said in dismay
However, the door opened slowly, and with a look of confusion, she entered. The sight shocked her.
It was Spike causing chaos in Ponyville and had fused with the amulet.
"Spike?!" Luna said
"Yes and no." A familiar voice said
Princess Luna turned around and it was Dark Spike, giving a frown to her.
"Future Spike, how are thee here?! And why can i not access his memories?" The lunar princess demanded
"Did you really think I didn't account for your access in the dream realm to other creatures? Think again." Dark Spike taunted
"What's going on here?! What did thee do to Spike?!" Princess Luna demanded again
"You'll know soon enough...but for know, thy should rest." Dark Spike mocked
He then magically removed Luna from Spike's mind, leaving her shocked.
"Oh no, I have to let others know of this." Princess Luna said
Unbeknownst to Luna, an all too familiar dragon was watching, and said
"When you do....I will be inevitable" Dark Spike said
The dark dragon then flew away, ready to enact his plan soon enough.
