Now, in the forest, the squad saw a camp. Instead of building their own outpost, they killed the ponies there, and took it for themselves. After a week, Spike could kill without feeling bad. They still haven't encountered the enemy troops. Then, in a flash, a bunch of ponies in black armor ambushed them.

Spike stepped a foot back, while the other ponies rushed in. He looked to his left, and raised his shield. A pike just bounced off. All Spike could do was swing his sword from above, left, right, forward, and below. All were missed, or deflected. Finally, he kicked, then swung down left into the neck. It was like an axe murder. Blood was everywhere, and the bone was shiny and pink.

He checked behind himself afterwards. When he saw one enemy left, and seven allies left, he was relieved to see that the commander was alive. Then he was ordered to torture the pony in black for information.

He borrowed a chain from another soldier. "You had BEST talk before you hurt," said Spike. After ten seconds, he used the chain like a whip. It made a ringing noise when it hit. The pony yelled for half of a second. "Where's your frikkin' kingdom at?" He hit him again just to do it.

Finally, after two minutes, the pony had blood all over his torso, and streaks on his face. Spike discovered that the enemy empire was a few miles North East of Canterlot. He also knew that the king would have a white cape. He wrote to Shining Armor what he found. He also wrote to the six friends at home about his first week.
