 Once Spike dealt with Dark Twilicorn and reverted her back to a unicorn, he left the universe and set off for parts unknown. As he was traveling through the Multiverse, he checked his Portal-trix in finding a new destination for his search. His watch pinpointed a new destination and he was soon committed to investigating any signs of Legendary Spike's Soul Gem. He reached the portal to his destination and flew into the portal.

 He reappeared in which is seemingly another abandoned Ponyville, but it wasn't dark and creepy like in that last universe. He checked his watch again and discovered,

"This is an anthropomorphic universe, but where is the anthro ponies?" He heard a loud scream of terror along with a roar. That caught his attention to Carousel Boutique,

"I better go investigate this weird occurrence." He spread his wings and flew to this next possible threat. Unknown to him, another multiverse portal opened and out came a hit and run squad of Grublins, Wyverns and some of the big boys. The Hero Orc of the pack said in its own language,

"Sunset Shimmer wants us to make sure that we find the gem before the Skylander. Any sign of the Skylander, deal with him."

The other Grublins yelled in their language, "All hail, Malefor!"

 As Spike came to the window of the upper levels at Carousel Boutique, he saw two anthro versions of his friends, Rarity and Applejack tied up, they were mostly in their sleepwear. Rarity was tied on her bed while Applejack was hanging by the ceiling with her hands tied up. He eavesdropped and heard Anthro Rarity say,

"You know, this could have actually been quite romantic if he hadn't decided to abduct the rest of you. I mean, really, how many ladies does one dragon need?!"

Anthro Applejack yelled, "Well, excuse us fer interruptin'!" Spike moved to another window and saw Anthro Twilight tied to the head of the bed, Anthro Fluttershy being dragged with a towel on, Anthro Rainbow Dash struggling while wearing a white nightgown, and the most shocking thing he saw was Anthro Pinkie Pie, who was just sleeping in the tail of a menacing dragon, he had to shield his eyes when he saw those...things on her upper chest. He saw their captor after opening one eye as the captor yelled, "SPIKE WANT!!!!"

Spike decided that there was no time to play observer, it was time to take action. He moved back away from the window and sped towards it with his horns pointing forward.

 He broke through the window and slowed into a hover, catching the attention of all six....even waking Anthro Pinkie. Greedy Spike dropped his captors and said,

"DRAGON DISTURBED SPIKE's HOARDING? SPIKE CRUSH DRAGON!!!"

Spike rolled his eyes and said, "I wasn't that overconfident, but have it your way." Spike diverted all of power to his core and felt a very cold sensation to his lips. Greedy Spike charged forward as Spike unleashed a very powerful ice breath which caused a freezer burn on Greedy Spike as he said,

"ICE NOT GOOD FOR SPIKE! BUT SPIKE STILL SMASH DRAGON AND CONTINUE WITH HOARD!!!" The girls were cheering in the back round, "Go, Dragon Go!!"

Anthro Rainbow Dash cheered, "Come on, Dragon, show that big bully who's boss!!"

Anthro Twilight said, "Really?"

Anthro Rainbow Dash replied, "He needs a little endorsement." Greedy Spike collided with Spike as the impact flung them off the boutique.

 Spike got free of Greedy Spike's grasp as he used his wings to slow his fall, he was okay until he felt his neck and realized that his necklace for Equestria's Dragon Prince disappeared. He looked at Greedy Spike and realized that he doesn't have it, so it must have landed out in the fields. He will have to free the Anthro Mane 6 first before setting out to find his necklace, but he has to at least defeat Greedy Spike first. So he had not other option but to bury Greedy Spike alive. He ground pounded into the ground and brought four walls of stone between Greedy Spike, even though he tried to use all of his strength to breech them, they just keep coming back up. After that he felt his prison sinking into the ground, he tried to get out, but a stone roof was put over him. After sealing his greedy self into the ground, he knew it would be only a matter of time before he would bust out. The best case scenario was to free the Anthro Mane 6 and get them to safety.

 He got back up to the bedroom and used his spaded tail to cut the ropes on Anthros Rarity, Twilight and Applejack. He decided that now would be a good time to ask what was going on, 

"Look, I know I just saved you 6 from that monster, but what exactly happened to get you in this situation?"

Anthro Twilight asked, "But...who are you?" Spike decided to admit, "I'm Spike, Spike the Dragon, I'm from another universe, but I'm nothing like the Spike I buried in the ground."

Anthro Rainbow Dash asked, "You buried him in the ground?"

Anthro Twilight asked, "You're from another universe?"

Anthro Rarity asked, "Is he still alive?"

Spike replied, "The prison I made was temporary. It could give you six a head-start before he busts through. I am from another universe, but I lost a personal trinket during the fight."

Anthro Rainbow Dash asked, "But how did you bury him alive?"

Spike replied while pointing to the ground, "With the roughness of Earth, its the type of power that I could perform along with three others, Ice, Electricity and Fire." He turned towards the horizon, "I need to find my trinket and you six should get somewhere safe." He took off to find his necklace.

 He moved swiftly and noticed one thing that Princess Celestia told him, 

"If the Dragon Prince necklace gets lost, it will instantly teleport itself to Canterlot. If you lose it in another universe, it will end up in the Canterlot of that universe." 

Spike flashed out of his memory and said, "I need to go to Canterlot and find the necklace, I better do it fast before Buffy Pimp-pants busts out." He took off for Canterlot at a fast rate. 

The Grublin Squad noticed and the Hero Orc said in their language, "He's going to Canterlot, we can surround him there!" They all sunk into the ground and began their transition to Canterlot. However, Greedy Spike busted out of his prison and said,

"DRAGON GOING TO CANTERLOT? SPIKE WANT WOMEN IN PONYVILLE AND CANTERLOT!" And he remembered one thing, "SPIKE CRUSH DRAGON IN CANTERLOT!!!"

 As Spike arrived at Canterlot, but the streets were empty. When Spike would usually see would be Canterlot Elites showing off their jewels and clothes, but there was nothing. Spike said,

"I've got a bad feeling that Greedy Spike might have something to do with this."

He wandered through the city to reach the castle until he came across a newspaper saying, "Greedy Dragon steals women and beats up anyone who tries to stop him." 

He said to himself, "Well, I was right." He crossed a bridge that lead to the castle doors until he looked over the bridge only to be surprised by two Wyverns, "Whoa, Grublin Wyverns!" He ran into the castle and shut the doors.

 Spike began to find his way through the castle, though it was a strange place in another universe. He kept a look out for any other Grublins that would try to ambush him. Spike spoke to himself,

"I better keep my eyes out for any of the Anthro Princesses, they are most likely hiding or....." He frowned, "Tied to their beds." 

He remembered each location of the bed chambers of each princess and began searching for them unless they already got out. He arrived at Princess Celestia's bed chambers and found Anthro Celestia on her bed with her hands tied behind her back and her feet tied together. She was passed out from getting kidnapped by that brute, he sealed. Spike froze the ropes with his Ice breath and used his tail to smash it. That woke up Anthro Celestia because of the cold chill from his Ice Breath. She asked,

"You're a dragon, but why did you save me?" 

Spike replied, "Because you are in a bad situation and no one could do anything about it....except me."

Anthro Celestia asked, "What about the others? What if Greedy Spike catches you?"

Spike replied, "I took care of him...for now. But I have to rescue the other two." 

Spike rescued the other princesses and told them to get to safety. He soon found himself heading towards the throne room, where he could find his necklace and get out of this messed up universe.

 He entered the throne room, that's when he was attacked by a bunch of infantry sized grublins, but he quickly dispatched them with his powers and melee attacks. Until he saw a familiar shape near the steps to the throne, his necklace was just sitting on the base of the steps. He approached it and said,

"I did it, I found the necklace."

He was approaching it, but as he tried to place it back on his neck, he felt himself being picked, he turned his head and saw Greedy Spike,

NECKLACE BELONG TO SPIKE! He sprang his right claw out to kill the dragon until a Grublin Troll pounced him, knocking Spike out of Greedy Spike's reach as he struggled to get the Troll off. Until they both set their sights and the upper stairs as a Hero Orc said in his own language,

"That Necklace is mine!" The Hero Orc fired his Dark Crystal Launchers at Greedy Spike, but he dodged them and hurled a piece of architecture at the Orc, but it deflected it with its club. Spike grabbed his necklace and said,

"This cannot end well!" His two opponents leaped to attack Spike until he had an idea. "I hope this thing works!" He placed the necklace on his neck and soon felt a new power merge with him. He combined it with his Elemental Abilities and his Lightcore Powers as he rose into the air, deflecting any blow that his enemies throw at him, his eyes began to glow and he flared his wings and a massive energy fury erupted from him. The Shockwave from the fury killed the Hero Orc, but Greedy Spike was reverted back to his original self, an Anthro version of Spike. As soon as the fury ended, Spike lowered himself down and placed his right foreleg on the gemstone and said,

"Thank you, Mom, for this great gift." He noticed his Anthro self lying unconscious on the floor and went there to help him out. He did notice Applejack's hat that he wore when he was greedy, but he was certain that the shockwave from the fury would attract a lot of attention. Anthro Spike finally regained consciousness, he looked around and noticed the skylander,

"I went all greedy and rounded up most of the ladies around Ponyville and Canterlot?" Skylander Spike nodded, "But I saved you from it and for that, I should at least inform the others that you are normal again." Until a familiar voice said,

"You don't have to do that, Skylander." The two Spikes saw Anthro Celestia stepping into the throne room along with Anthros Luna and Cadance. Anthro Cadance said,

"We were watching the whole battle from behind the doors."

Anthro Luna finished, "And we are happy to have everyone in Equestria forgive and forget that this ever happened."

Anthro Spike said to Skylander Spike, "You saved not just my life, Skylander, but the lives of others that would've been rounded up like the others."

Spike used his Portal-Trix and a small ring popped out, "Before I go, take this." Anthro Spike asked, "What is this?" 

Spike replied, "Its a Greed Inhibiter, it was developed back in my universe. It could stop you from suffering a greed pimp rush again." Anthro Spike placed the inhibiter on his finger and felt his greed energy draining, he said,

"Thank you."

Spike opened a Multiverse Portal, "I need to be on my way. Farewell." He jumped into the portal as it closed behind him.
