	As Spike awoke from his forced slumber bright lights bombarded his eyes to the point where everything was a blurry blob. After blinking a couple of times he was able to see clearly again. Looking at the changed environment Spike noticed he wasn't anywhere he recognized. He was in a plain white room, strapped down to a wooden chair, and attached to a weird monitor. "Finally you are awake." said a voice from nowhere. Spike tried to look around to find the source of the voice, but only found speakers attached to his chair. "Welcome to 'The Organization'. By now I'm sure that you have many question, but your puny questions can wait for another time. Right now we want answers. Please take notice of that monitor next to you." said the voice. On cue the monitor came to life as the screen turned white with a red line going across it. "This is a lie detector. If you happen to tell a lie the equipment that we have wired to you will administrator a painful shock through out your body. Are you ready for your questioning?" said the voice.

"Don't I get a say in any of this?" asked Spike. "Question One. What were you doing in Ponyville?" asked the voice. "Thats none of your business." said Spike. A painful shock was sent through out Spike's body. As he screamed from the pain Spike thought that he had felt this same pain from somewhere. "I didn't even tell a lie." said Spike as he panted. "I forgot to mention that if I don't like the answer you give me I can easily send a shock into your body with a push of a button. Now I will ask you again. What were you doing in Ponyville?" said the voice. "Nothing." said Spike. Once again a painful shock was sent through his body this time it was the monitor that sent the shock. "Moving on. Are you a changeling or a shapeshifter of any kind?" asked the voice. "No," replied Spike. There wasn't any shocks this time."Question Three. Are you in possession of a illegal magic artifact and if so state it's name and purpose." said the voice. "I don't have any illegal magic artifacts." said Spike.

There wasn't a shock that time either. "Moving on." and the game of twenty questions began or as Spike would call it 'The Never Ending Game of Infinity Questions.'. During the many hours of answering questions, Spike receive ten more shocks and a threat to fry his brains out. Soon the person who was talking to him had enough. "We have been at this for five hours and I have barely made any progress. Now you have forced my hoof. Bring in the others." said the voice.

On cue three stallions in silver armor came in through a door that was behind Spike. Behind the stallions were the dragons Crystal and Zero. Followed by the filly Nyx. "Where is Twilight?" asked Spike. " Do not worry the unicorn mare known as Twilight has been place in a containment cell where she will be out of the way. Now moving on. I will continue to ask you questions and a little reminder if you lie or I don't like your response you won't be the one getting hurt." said the voice. Spike growled upon hearing the threat. "Question Sixty Two. Are you from another dimension and if so how did you get here?" asked the voice. Spike thought about the question, but couldn't find an answer. "I'm not sure how to answer that." said Spike. "The filly." said the voice instantly. 

Heeding their order, two of the stallions held the filly in place. Her screams and pleas of mercy fell upon deaf ears. As the third stallion raised his hooves Spike tried to close out the sound of hooves meeting flesh and the sound of pain filled screams piercing through Spike's closed ears. Through Spike's clenched teeth he silently cursed himself for even being at the library. If he wasn't there none of this would have happened, but he knew that there was nothing he could do about it now.

When the deed was done Nyx had a black eye, a busted lip, and was coughing up blood. "You monsters!" yelled Crystal "She was poor innocent filly and you had no right to do this to her." "May I remind you that that 'poor, innocent filly' caused the banishment of both the princesses and cause days upon days of night which caused most if not all of crops to fail. If it wasn't for the returning of the sun who knows what would have happened." said the voice. 

"That may be true, but from what Twilight has said she has risked your life to save the ponies of Ponyville from being killed, she released all of those who were corrupted, and she faced her punishment with a brave spirit." said Zero. "Moving on! Question Sixty Three. Have you come to deal harm to pony kind in any way?" asked the voice. "No! If that were the case we would have made Ponyville a wasteland hours ago!" yelled Spike as his anger started to reach a new threshold. "I don't like your tone mister. Attack the tall dragon." ordered the voice. This time one of the stallions pulled out a syringe filled with a red liquid. 

Then he ripped off a scale from Zero's skin causing Zero to roar in pain, the stallion then injected the red liquid into Zero's body. Though Zero barely felt the needle pierce his skin he did feel an immediate effect of the red liquid after it was injected into his body. His arms and legs went numb. Zero felt his legs give out and fell. Not only did his body started to go numb his consciousness started to go out too. "Liquidized Dragon Bane, but I made sure that this was a small douse. Dragon Bane in this form can be quickly absorbed by a dragon's blood stream and can be quite poisonous. It won't be enough to kill you, but enough to make you wish that you were dead." said the voice. Using the last bits of his will Spike tried to stop from lashing out. Though his dark matter was beginning to rise to the surface. 

Light coat of dark matter formed around Spike's body. His powers began to grow in magnitude and caused the three stallions started to get nervous, but they stood still. "Question Sixty Four. Did any others come with you?" asked the voice. Spike kept his mouth closed. He didn't want to lose his temper to have another friend get hurt. "Why are you not answering?" asked the voice. Spike didn't respond again. "Okay since you won't talk...." "Noooooo!"screamed Spike. "Take the girl dragon." 

Spike closed his eyes and ears, but he still heard the screams of Crystal. Not daring to open his eyes. Still the screams rocked him to his very core. He had to admit that he had gained a small crush for the dragoness, but he wasn't sure were it would lead. Spike tried to brake out of bonds with his magic, but was astounded to find that he couldn't do anything. "I also forgot tell you that that room your in cancels any magical abilities." said the voice. 

Spike was stunned for words. Without his magic he couldn't do anything. After not hearing anything for a couple of minutes Spike opened one eye. In the scene that was laid before them he wished he hadn't. Crystal  was on the floor in a small puddle of her own blood. Her body was bruised all over and a major cut ran from her chest towards the base of her tail. Spike looked around towards the stallions and found that one had a iron dagger that was hidden under his armor. 

Spike's pupils were reduced to the size of pin-pricks as he lost all shreds of sanity he had left. With a massive roar Spike was consumed by his dark matter as it erupted into a tower of black aura. The room began to shake as the magnitude of Spike's hidden power began to sky rocket. Even the pony that was talking to Spike through the speakers fell down to his knees.

Spike's scales changed from purple to pitch black. His spine scales grew five inches longer and turned to a shade of dark purple. His canine teeth grew to about three inches longer and they became sharper too. He became about a two feet taller and his tail grew a double edged blade on the tip of it. Then finally his eyes began to glow in a blazing red.

With his transformation complete Spike went on his rampage. Building up dark matter in his mouth Spike shot a ball of dark matter at a wall. Upon impact the dark matter ball exploded causing the wall to be destroyed completely. Channeling his powers into his new blade tipped tail Spike slashed at another wall creating a giant gash in it. 

Then overwhelmed with the urge to eat Spike pounced onto one of the three stallions. Using his newly sharpened and lengthened teeth Spike bit into the stallion's throat while at the same time used his claws to dig into his chest and grab his heart. Then with a quick motion Spike ripped the stallion's heart out ending his life.  

Spike began to devour the stallion using huge bites. Tearing off the stallion's hide and skin, eating his insides with blood lust and gluttony. Then in a matter of minutes the stallion was reduced to nothing, but meat stuck to the bone. Though eating a full grown stallion was not going to satisfy the monster that Spike had become.  The other stallions still awake couldn't do anything, but accept their fate. The magnitude of Spike's dark powers made them easy prey.

Not wasting any more time Spike began to devour the other stallions in under on hour. Feeling almost full Spike still had room for one more meal. As he felt that presence of three others he prepared to attack them, but when he turned around he found the reason for his anger, his hatred, his blood lust. On the floor were the three bodies of his friends Crystal, Nyx, and Zero. Though they were not dead, Spike could feel it, they were just merely injured bably. His eyes turned from a blazing red to a blank white.

He couldn't let himself be lost to his greed now. Spike wasn't about to lose this fight, he had to make the pony responsible for this pay. Looking again at the bodies Spike used his dark matter to heal the wounds of his friends. Seeing that he was able to heal the wounds and destroy the poison that flowed throughout Zero's body Spike continued his rampage throughout the facility.

Everywhere he looked he would destroy something. Ranging from a pillar, a room, or nothing of importance. Nothing was safe from Spike now. Seeing more ponies racing to stop him only to be rendered helpless by Spike's massive power. With a hall filled with ponies Spike charge up another dark matter ball, but this time he added more power to it. The ball grew bigger and bigger until it's energy started leaking from Spike's mouth.

Finally, Spike released the dark matter in a form of a giant blast that completely ablitorated the hall way and anything beyond it. Now tha that his path was cleared Spike continued his rampage and killed all those who dared get in his way. Running through hall after hall Spike found something that made him both disgusted and angry. He destroyed a door that lead to a chamber. A chamber of burned bodies. Burned beyond recognition and left to rot in a dark chamber were baby and teen dragon, griffons, wolves, timber wolves, nagas, drakes, almost every type of species could be seen in the chamber.

Spike's anger rose again as did his power's magnitude. "I see you have found my Chamber of the Damned." said the voice. "Why would you do this?! I bet not one of these creatures did anything to you!!" yelled Spike. "Your right, but I could not just stand by and wait for you abominations to ruin our world especially since that little filly almost did." said the voice. "Forgive me. I don't understand your reason for doing any of this!" said Spike sarcastically. "Then let me shed some light on you dragon. When I was a little colt all that mattered to me was my family. They would always be there for me. Then one day when we had a family reunion at a resort, we were attacked by a dragon." said the voice.

"It's rage caused my hole family to be burned beyond hope of helping them, though somehow I was left unharmed. I watched as my parents died as flames burned their bodies as did the rest of my family. I tried to plead that the dragons should be punished for killing my family, but nopony did anything about it. They just said 'I'm sorry, but we can't just harm innocent dragons for one of them deciding to kill your family. If its worth anything we will try to track down the dragon responsible.', but nothing was ever did about it. Then after years of turmoil I realized. If it wasn't for abominations like you I would still have my family and pony kind would be free to do what ever they wanted without worry of harming abominations like you. So I thought I would do all of pony kind of favor by kill all of you abominations off." said the pony.

Spike didn't say anything. He just stood there as if he was in a trance then he chuckled a bit. Then those chuckles turned into laughter.Then the laughter turned into a sinister cackle. "Whats so funny?" asked the pony. "Oh nothing. It's just that I find it ironic. To call me an abomination, but for you to have all of these poor souls burned because your family was burned alive. Its sad that your family died, but to go insane and kill the innocent like this. I would say your the abomination there my friend. Now I'm on my way to kill you." said Spike.

"Good luck finding me. I had my office hidden in this facility just in case there were to be a brake out. Also I don't think you have much time because I have bombs planted throughout the building's foundations. You have five minutes to find me, rescue those dragons, filly, and Twilight. Do you think you can do it all in under five minutes?" said the pony. "Five minutes? Thats more than enough time." said Spike.
