//------------------------------// // Spike vs Sarah // Story: Spike's sister // by Musicnotes //------------------------------// When Spike went off to look for Sarah, he didn't know where to looks. Anger was clouding his thoughts and judgement. He was furious at the lies and the tricks. He didn't like how Sarah had betrayed him. When she first gave Twilight the spell that they thought would be able to get rid of the black crystal from Equestria, he thought that it was great and that his own sister in a way saved Equestria but when he saw that the spell wasn't what they though, he figured it was a mistake. Then came when she gave Sombra the crystal heart, that was when he felt his heart break. Spike trusted Sarah since they met. He felt so happy to finally have someone he could call family but now all her wanted to do was get revenge. He wanted to get revenge from when Sarah helped Sombra foulnap the Cutie Mark Crusaders, for when she didn't do anything when Sombra trapped them and most importantly he wanted to get revenge for her betraying his trust. As he opened and closed many doors in the castle, he was getting no where. He had who he was looking for. The first door he opened lead him into an Armory. It was full of purple crystal kingdom armor and a few spears. Spike thought that maybe there would be something he could use in her in case he ran into Sombra on his hunt. He grabbed a spear. "I will save you Princess Rarity." Spike said as he started to day dream about saving Rarity. Only Spike would start to day dream when he knew the other were searching for the CMC and while he was searching for Sarah. He shook his head to wake himself. "Ok Spike, get focused. " He took the small spear in his claw and headed out of the Armory and began his search once more. The next door he opened up lead to a empty guest room. "Come on, Sarah should be around her somewhere." Spike said. He started to walk down the hallway and saw a fancy purple crystal door with some gold on it and a few rubies. He thought that if something had a fancy decorated door like this then surly some good must be behind it. He opened it up and saw that it was a treasure room full of deep blue colored sapphires, grass green emeralds, shiny gold bits, and other shiny things. Spike's stomach rumbles. "I don't think Cadence or Shining Armor would mind if I snack on a gem or two. I am trying to save the Empire after all." Spike licked his lips and started to eat several gems. Soon he had a full belly. He patted his belly with his claw then brabs his spear. "Now that I had this snack, I will have the energy to find Sarah and get my revenge." As he was walking he was suddenly thinking if he should really get revenge. Was it in his dragon code? Does he really have the heart to do it? Suddenly he imagines a miniature Fluttershy wearing an angel costume on his right shoulder and Rainbow dash dressed up a devil on the left. The angel Fluttershy looked at him. "Don't do it Spike. It would be really mean if you do, you are not a cruel dragon." The devil Rainbow dash smiled. "Don't listen to her. Think about it Sarah has helped Sombra all this time. She betrayed you and the others, she is a liar and that is all she will ever be. " Spike thought about it for a minute. "You both are right. I am not cruel or mean. She did do all that stuff, she deserves to get her just deserts..." He was soon close to the throne room and saw Sarah's shadow. He could barely hear Sombra's voice but he couldn't tell what they were talking about. He hid behind a suit of armor as Sarah had came out. He quickly followed her with out her knowing. He was still on high alert in case Sombra was coming. Sarah had entered a room and closed the door behind her. "That must be where she is. Give her the old one, two." said the devil Rainbow dash as she moved her hooves as she was pretending to punch/box. The angel Fluttershy shook her head. "No don't do that unless you feel that is right." Spike sighed. "What to do..what to do." He looked at the devil and pony versions of two of his pony friends. "May you please leave, I want to think in peace." The angel Fluttershy nodded. "Ok..if thats what you think is right." She disappeared. The devil Rainbow dash sighed. "What ever but you lost out on some awesome advice." She disappeared as well. Spike thought for a few minutes and took a deep breath. He decided to go and give Sarah his two bits about everything. He knocked on the door. When Sarah heard the knock, she put her papers from her journal down and said softly. "Who could that be? Sombra never knocks, he would use his magic and open the door by force with out warning." She thought that it might have been Apple Bloom, Scootaloo, or Sweetie Belle. She opened the door and saw Spike with a spear that he had gotten from the Armory in the castle. "Spike...what are you doing here?" She said to him as he stepped inside. Spike looked at her as he gripped the spear with his claw and spoke in an angry tone. "I have something to say to you." Sarah frowned. "Spike, you don't understand.." Before she could say anymore Spike interrupted her. "I understand plenty. You lied to me about being my family. I felt so happy to finally have somepony who cares about me besides Twilight and the gang. You used us to bring Sombra back from the shadows, foulnapped the Cutie Mark Crusaders, gave the crystal heart to Sombra, of all the ponies big or small to give it to, you gave it to Sombra..." Sarah looked at the ground. "I had no choice. I'm sorry.." He glared at her and pointed the spear towards her body. "Your sorry? Thats all you have to say? You had a choice not to do it. We all have choices to make things happen." She took a deep breath and looked at him with tears in her eyes. "Sombra has something of mine. He has my heart, his magic flows through me just to keep me here. He was the one who hatched me. I never wanted to help him, I always figured he would give me back my heart if I did but now I know thats a lie. I truly did enjoy the time we shared flying kites and partying with you friends. I doubt I will ever really know who my own parents were or if I do have my own sibling but that's fine because you and the others have really shown me what friendship is. " When Spike looked at her straight in the eyes he could now see she was speaking the truth. "You really mean that." He lowers the spear and the sound of clapping hooves could be heard. Sarah gasped. "Master....." She sounded scared since it was none other that Sombra standing in the door way. Spike turned and held up the spear to him. "You! Sombra you monster, Sarah told me what you done to her. Give her back her heart." Sarah was shocked at what she was. Spike was defending her after all she had done. Maybe he actually forgives her. Sombra smiled as he walked in. "I will not give back her heart just like I won't let you do anything at all. For you all are pawns in my giant game of chess, free for me to sacrifice at my disposal. " His horned glowed and aimed at Spike ready to shoot. His magic shot like a beam and went straight to Spike, he braced for the hit but it didn't hit him. Sarah jumped in front of him and took it in his place. She fell to the ground. Sombra laughed. "I guess your death is sooner than I wanted. I personally wanted to squeeze you heart to dust and watch you die like that but this will do. Your time as my pawn has come to an end." Spike held Sarah up. She was badly injured from the blast of magic. "You took the blast for me? Why? Sarah smiled and cringed in pain. "Cause you don't deserve to die.." A tear fell from both the dragons eyes. Spike wiped away his tear. "Don't say that. I wont have you die. Stay with me ok? I'm sure Twilight will be here soon and she can use her magic to heal you." Sombra chuckled. "How touching. Enjoy your final moments my pawn. Even with out your heart, you will be out of this world in a matter of minutes. " Sarah closed her eyes trying to ignore the pain she was in, another tear fell from her eyes. She felt like justice was being served now and karma was getting her back. The black crystal on her necklace glowed dimly but not enough for anypony to notice. Spike squeezed her claw. "No..stay with me..."
