The Magic Cup

by El Poni Duelist


Chapter 3

Spike, Princess Luna, and Granny Smith left the room. They went down the stairs and walked in a hallway. Granny Smith was slow. Spike was on Princess Luna's right side. She turned towards Granny Smith and raised up her voice volume.

"Run faster!" Shouted Princess Luna.

She blast at Granny Smith from her horn and caused her to hit on a wall on the right side. She lay flat on the wall and there was a crack around her. She then felt pain.

"Ouch," Said Granny Smith.

She got off the wall and was still walking slow. She no longer felt pain. When she came off the wall, there was an silhouette that was the same as Granny Smith's when she was hit on a wall. Princess Luna got mad and raised up her voice even louder.

"I said run faster!" Shouted Princess Luna.

She blast at Granny Smith and caused her to hit on a wall next to her. She lay flat on the wall and there was a crack around her. She then felt pain.

"Ouch," Said Granny Smith.

She got off the wall and was still walking slow. When she came off the wall, there was an silhouette that was the same as Granny Smith's position when she was hit on a wall. Princess Luna got even more mad and frustrated.

"Oh forget it," Said Princess Luna.

She looked at Spike.

"Lets go," Said Princess Luna.

Both her and Spike left. Reason they left Granny Smith is because Princess Luna didn't want to waste her time helping Granny Smith.

"You look this way and I'll look that way," Said Princess Luna.

"Sounds good to me, Said Spike.

Princess Luna ran to the left side and Spike ran to the right side. He came out from the left corner walked towards a door from the left side on the wall. He opens it and inside were tables and chairs. The room was dark and Spike whispered.

"Princess Cadence?" Asked Spike.

"The Magic Cup," whispered the voice. Spike then felt scared.

"Princess Cadence, is that you?" Asked Spike.

The reason for Spike checking in the room to see if Princess Cadence's in there is because to be able to find and ask her if she's willing to help find Princess Celestia. He also remembered that Princess Cadence usually takes up last and goes in the room for reading her favorite books. "The Magic Cup," whispered the voice. He then raised up his voice volume.

"I'm out of here!" Shouted Spike.

He ran to the right side and then saw far in front of him from left side a big door with two Princess Celestia's guards that stand side by side. He thinks and then had an idea. He walked up to them and act like he's cool.

"Hey guys, I'm here to see a movie," Said Spike.

"Twilight Sparkle, you were late for the movie, and you cannot enter," Said the guard on the left side who didn't look happy.

Spike starts to be worried.

"But my friend Rarity's in there without me," Said Spike.

The guards look at each other. They then yelled very loud as they look at Spike.

"No, go away!" Shouted the guards.

Spike gets mad and raised up his voice volume.

"You two are jerks!" Shouted Spikes.

He turned and left. Later, he was walking in the field that had grass, and the sky was pitch black. There was no snow that was falling and Princess Luna was in the middle. He ran up to her and raised up his voice volume.

"Princess Luna!" Shouted Spike.

Princess Luna looked from her right side and saw him.

"Oh hi Spike. Were you able to find my sister?" Asked Princess Luna.

Spike lowered his voice volume.

"No, I can't find him anywhere," Said Spike.

Princess Luna became worried.

"Oh no. This is terrible. We have to find my sister," Said Princess Luna.

Spike stopped running and was in front of her. She then thinks.

"I have to go," Said Princess Luna.

Spike looked confused.

"But we have to find Princess Celestia," Said Spike.

"I'm afraid that you're on your own. I have to go help a filly. So farewell," Said Princess Luna.

She open her wings and flied up in the air towards the moon. He watched as she disappears. He looks at a house and runs toward it. It's not too far from the field that's covered with grass. Its height is the same as a dauphin when it's looking up and its tail is pointing down. The houses length is the same as a shark. The roof of the house was sphere shaped and had chimney with no smoke coming out. The color of the roof was grey. The walls of the house is made out of wood and the color of the wood is black. It had two windows that are near the the door. The door is the same height as a normal normal long with its length and it's made out of steel. The door handle is made out of steel and there's no window on the door. He knocks with his left hoof three times. As he knocks, he raised up his voice.

"AppleJack, are you in there?" Asked Spike.

No one answered. The reason why he was seeing if AppleJack's home is because to see if she's able to help him find Princess Celestia. Then far from the house on right side on top of the forest, fire works exploded in the air. Spike looked up and saw them. He looked confused and spoke to himself.

"What's going on?" Asked Spike.

He walked in the forest. The ground was covered with different colored leaf and he couldn't see anything because it was dark. He then heard a voice that whispered "The Magic Cup." He starts to get scared and raised up his voice volume.

"Who's there?" Asked Spike.

The voice whisper continued by saying "The Magic Cup." Spike looks around him and saw no one. He then saw a figure floating in the air in front of him. He then becomes surprised.

"Princess Celestia, where have you been?" Asked Spike.

Her hooves were pointing down and her wings were closed. She moved her eyes from left to right.

"I've been looking for it," Said Princess Celestia.

Spike thinks as he rolls his eyes. He then looked at her as he speaks.

"Lets go back to the castle and help me get in the movie theater to be with Rarity?" Asked Spike.

"Love doesn't matter," Said Princess Celestia.

Spike became surprised and curious.

"What did you say?" Asked Spike.

"Love doesn't matter. You'll never get the pony that you love," Said Princess Celestia.

She raised up her front hooves and they point in front of Spike.

"Spike, you must find-," Said Princess Celestia.

As she speaks, she starts to float in the air.

"The Magic Cup," Said Princess Celestia.

A lightning bolt hit her and then she vanished. Spike looked confused. Later, he walked in the hallway in the castle. The walls in the hallway had pictures of Princess Celestia with her parents along with Princess Luna. He then heard a noise that sounds like someone's struggling with something. He looked around himself and saw no one. He heard the same noise again and he starts to be scared. He then saw on the ground in front of him a green crack. A hoof came out and then on the ground. A second hoof came out from left side and then on the ground. Then Princess Celestia came out of the ground. She was covered with dirt and different kind of minerals from different layers of the Earth. Spike looked shocked.

"Princess Celestia, what were you doing?" Asked Spike.

Princess Celestia closed her wings and turned towards Spike as she closes her eyes and rubs them with her left hoofs because her eyes caught dirt.

"I was in the center of the Earth. It was the only magical place that the Magic Cup could be," Said Princess Celestia.

Spike looked mad and puts his arms around himself.

"Look Princess, you don't need the Magic Cup. You're the most powerful Alicorn ever," Said Spike.

Princess Celestia puts her hooves on Spike's shoulders. She speaks as she leaned toward Spike's face.

"The Magic Cup is mine," Said Princess Celestia.

Spike isn't mad anymore and starts to become scared. He then spoke.

"Oh-ok?" Said Spike.

He tried to not look scared.

"Anyway, Princess Luna, and Granny Smith are looking for you. Also they know about the Magic Cup," Said Spike.

Princess Celestia looked shocked and scared.

"What? No, they're after the Magic Cup. It's mine," Princess Celestia.

She ran past Spike as she raised her voice volume.

"It's mine!" Shouted Princess Celestia.

Spike saw her leave and raised up his voice volume.

"Princess Celestia, wait!" Shouted Spike.

But she was gone and the reason why she left was because to try to look for the Magic Cup. Also the reason why she wants the Magic Cup is because if she gets it, she wants to be able to keep it safe from any pony or anything, and wants it for herself. Spike gets frustrated and then went in a big room that was on his right side. He went in there because to check out what's in there. It had a lot of pictures and they were pitch black. He looked from left to right. He became curious.

"Why are the images black?" Said Spike.

Then Changelings came out of them and were everywhere. Spike became scared and raised up his voice.

"No, not again!" Shouted Spike.

He starts to split green fire at them. Meanwhile, the ponies were in the movie theater watching a black, and white film. On Rarity's right side, there was an empty seat. She looked from left to right and looked worried. She was wearing a red dress and gold necklace around her neck. The Changelings hit Spike and then he turned back to being a dragon. They flied around and hit him. Only one by one and then he raised up his voice.

"Princess Celestia, help!" Shouted Spike.

He starts to fall on his knees and lowered his voice volume is because he was about to faint.

Princess Celes-," Said Spike.

He faints and falls on the ground. He then opens his eyes and leans up as he screams. He stops screaming and looked scared. He's in bed, covered, and in a room. The room was dark and the sky was dark. He looked from left to right, he takes a deep breath, and then smiles.

"Phew, what a dream," Said Spike.

The End...
