Spike rushed into Sweet Apple Acres, and onto the Cutie Mark Crusaders HQ. he put his ear onto the wooden board as the words became unclear.
"You sure she's goin' to be okay?"
"I'm sure! Even if she isn't Rainbow Dash can just save her!"
"I bet my sis is complaining about the dirt. Since war depends on dirt."
Spike rolled his eyes, and knocked. His eyes flashed green, and his pupils grew thinner, but he manage to keep it under control. Applebloom opened the door, and saw Spike at the door. "Hey, Spike! How's it hanging?" Applebloom asked.
"Good news...or Bad?" Spike ignored.
"Huh?"
"Good...or bad?"
"Uh...bad...Ah guess."
Spike entered the HQ without permission and leaned against the wall. "Bad news is...they don't need us anymore." He says.
"What do you mean, 'they don't need us anymore'? Who are 'they'?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Your true love ones. I just asked them if we could come over and check on them, but Celestia says no." He says.
"Well, DUH!! It's dangerous!" Scoot says.
"Two - three weeks before war even starts, and we don't get to visit?" Spike asked.
"So...your saying...Rainbow Dash doesn't need me?" Scoot asked.
"Exactly. Point is, I teamed up with Sombra." He admitted.
"WHY?! Mah sis told me that...uh...King Sombrero? Yeah, she told me he was dangerous as losing a fight to a turtle!" Applebloom says.
"That doesn't make any sense." Spike says.
"So?!"
"I don't see how teaming up with a villain is such a good idea." Sweetie Belle says.
"Yeah? Look at the mirror." Spike says, pointing at the nearest mirror. "And tell yourself that your sister needs you."
"Fine! We will!" Scoot says. They head over towards the mirror, and the first thing they saw was their reflection. "Our sister needs-" but something cut them off.
They sat there...and they wasn't able to finish the sentence. "How 'bout we take turns?" Applebloom asked. The two left Applebloom, and she stared spat the mirror. "Alright...mah sister needs-" her throat shut down on her, and Applebloom sat there.
Something she saw on her reflection made her stare. A thousand yard stare, they called it. But it wasn't a thousand yard...it was something even bigger. The more she stared, the more she thought that...no one needed her. She was always the one left behind, even if she was the leader. But...who cares? She's to young anyway! She shook her ahead...anime style...and looked at Spike. "Who cares! Ah'm to young anyway. Why do you care? Just because Tia wouldn't let you see her, doesn't mean that Ah'm involved." She says with anger.
"Oh yeah? Look at this? Straight letter from Princess Celestia...in her handwriting." Spike says. He brought out a letter, and hand it over to the Crusaders.
Dear Spike,
Once again, I told you that they are not aloud to come here. To dangerous, and it would not be like-wise to send a few fillies to see their former guardians. It's better for them to not no if they died than it is to invite them here. War is ready to begin, and we decide to keep the fillies back. Not only will they cause trouble, but it will cause misfortune to save them if they are in danger. Do, make sure they are safe.
Love, Celestia.
"T-trouble? We wouldn't cause trouble! W-we would cause good things to happen! R-right girls?!" Applebloom asked.
"Sounds like they don't need us." Scoot said sadly.
"Guess we would just be in the way." Sweetie Belle says.
"See? Two-three weeks before war starts, and she doesn't invite you over. Which I find strange...but...unless you want to take revenge on the princess...join me." Spike says, eyes glowing bright green and his pupil getting thinner..
"N-no! Princess would never write that!" Applebloom says.
"It's in her handwriting! I send her a letter before I got here!" Spike yells.
"If I join...do I get to see Rainbow again?" Scoot asked.
"Scoot!"
"It different dimensions...you get to see her." Spike says.
"Will we be useful?" Sweetie Belle asked.
"Sweetie Belle!"
"In every way. C'mon, Applebloom. I really don't want to see you hurt...and I really don't want to fight you...join us." Spike says. Applebloom sat there...not able to believe her friends. Did they give up just like that?! Maybe they aren't her friends. Maybe...he's right. She doesn't know...but...it's Spike! He would never lie in front of them! Unless it had to do with chores...then yeah...but this doesn't make any sense! Why does Spike need them for anything? Good? Evil? On Luna's side? On Celestia's side? On Spike's...? Maybe...maybe she'll play along with it. Just to see who she's up against. "Alright. Who else do we need?" She asked.
"Diamond and Silver. Right now, I gotta tell...the King...that you guys are in. Do you wanna get them yourselves?" Spike asked.
"Well girls?" Applebloom asked.
"Yeah!"
"School starts in how many minutes?" Spike asked.
"15 minutes, we'll be there in five." Applebloom says.
"Then prepare a plan...I'll be there after school." Spike says. He leaves the HQ as he slowly closes the door. The Crusaders looked at each other with fright.
What was he planning?
