You, Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Discord start to make your way to the Castle of Dark Magic from Sweet Apple Acres. You all are suddenly stopped by Spike.
"Wait! Take me with you! I have to save Twilight and Rarity!"
Celestia shakes her head. "I am sorry dear Spike but this is too dangerous for a baby dragon." Immediately after a yellow pegasus in royal guard armor landed beside Spike. "Sir Flash Sentry?"
"Princess Celestia i ask that you allow us to help you. The ones we love are in danger and we want to help and protect them. Besides i was recently reassigned to Princess Twilight's personal guard and it is my sworn duty to protect and save her!" You smirked.
"Flash Is duty the only reason you want to save Twilight?" Flash couldn't help but blush.
"No they aren't and to be completely honest with you Allen me and Twilight got into a relationship not too long after i was assigned to her personal guard."
"I take it Twilight told you about me since you do know my name?"
"Yes after all you are her student and she speaks very highly of you." You smiled at the thought of Twilight bragging about your skills at magic.
Princess Celestia stepped forward. "I can allow you to go Flash but not Spike. Twilight would not wan't him coming and endangering himself."
"Celestia i think we should let Spike come as well after all just like me. He is in love with one of the ponies who got kidnapped and you should know who i am talking about. I am a human that is in love with a pony so i can understand where he is coming from. He might have the body of a baby dragon but remember Celestia dragons don't grow naturally. They only grow physically when they begin to hoard things from greed so he will always remain in the form of a baby dragon because he isn't greedy."
"But Twilight-"
"Will be upset yes but he will never win the mare of his dreams if he can never show her he really loves her and what better way to do it than risking his life for her. Plus Twilight is like a sister to him. How can he sit by when the love of his life and his sister are in danger? Spike needs room to grow mentally and he can't if Twilight keeps smothering him." Celestia sighs in defeat.
"You are right Allen. Very well Spike you may come along and help but if we tell you to stay behind us then you must listen so nothing can happen to you." Spike nods.
"I understand princess but i am still going to protect Twilight and Rarity no matter what."
"I understand Spike. Flash since you are Twilight's personal guard and her special somepony then it is your job to protect not only Twilight but Spike as well." Flash Sentry smirks.
"I was going to protect this little guy even if you didn't tell me to." Celestia smiles.
"Good just do your best not to get hurt." Flash nods.
While you all make your way to the Castle of Dark Magic Dark Light continue's to watch you all from the mirror.
"Hmm so he intends to bring two more with. Oh well i don't care if he brings all of Manehattan so long as he bring who i told him to bring. Now time for me to go and check on my "guests"."
Dark Light walks into the other room where Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Apple Cider are all being held in a cage with Apple Cider crying in Applejack's hooves while they all try to comfort him.
"So how are you all doing my prisoners." Dark Light gave them an evil grin which caused Apple Cider to quiver in fear as he whimpered and cried in Applejack's chest.
"Stop it Dark Light you are scaring my boy!" Twilight glared at him angrily.
"What do you want with us Dark Light?" Rainbow scoffed at Dark Light.
"He probably took us prisoner because he knows he can't win again our man Allen without using us as his prisoners." Dark Light merely laughed.
"How wrong you are. Think carefully on this one. Why would i go to the trouble of bringing him here? I could easily fight him and win anywhere so why would i bring him here of all places?" Rainbow answered.
"So you can have the home field advantage." Dark Light laughed again.
"Once again you are incorrect. I am guessing that Celestia didn't tell you about the other half of the prophecy?" Applejack started to get concerned.
"O-Other half?" Dark light smiled mischievously.
"Yes the darker half. As you know in order for him to defeat me he has to sacrifice himself. But if i were to prevail war and destruction shall be brought upon this world. Celestia has already told you these things but there is one other prophecy and only Celestia herself knows it besides myself."
"A-And what is this other prophecy?" Applejack and the others were starting to feel uneasy as Dark Light chuckles.
"I can alter destiny with this one prophecy. If i were to destroy him in this specific castle while he is protecting a loved one. I will not only gain the power to reek havoc on this world but then i will also become unstoppable and i will even have the power to corrupt the Elements of Harmony!"
All of them gasped as Applejack eyes filled with horror knowing full well that you would protect her and Apple Cider even if it costed your life. Applejack burst into tears and they all tried to comfort her.
"By the way i should let you all know that Allen won't be coming alone. Discord, Celestia, Luna are coming as well along with Twilight Sparkle's personal guard and her pathetic assistant." Twilight's eyes shot open and here eyes started to fill with tears.
"Flash and Spike are coming too?! It's too dangerous for them!" Dark Light chuckled.
"Well Flash couldn't stand the thought of not being able to help you and the dragon couldn't stand by as his adopted sister and "the mare of his dreams" were locked up and in danger, but don't worry i will make their death's quick and painless." Twilight started to get enraged.
"IF YOU TOUCH SPIKE OR FLASH I SWEAR I'LL-"
"You'll do what "princess"? You can't touch me i took away your magic." It was Rarity's turn to lash out at him from the cage.
"LEAVE SPIKEY-WIKEY ALONE!" Dark Light couldn't help but laugh.
"You are in no position to be giving me orders wench! By the way i don't know which one of you is Rarity but whoever you are i think you should know before Spike dies that he is in love with you. Let that sink in and know that the one who loves you is about to me his end!" Dark Light laughs evilly as he exits the room and Rarity couldn't hep but sit there in shock.
"S-Spikey Wikey is in love with me? I knew he had a crush on me but i never knew he-" Tears starting streaming down her face as she finally realized the truth and Twilight comforted her.
"I know it's a lot to take in Rarity. Lets just hope he doesn't get hurt." Twilight herself started to crying worrying about Spike and Flash. Rarity stood up.
"I swear if we all get through this i am going to give my Spikey Wikey the love he deserves! I am going to make him my very special somepony er somedragon!" Twilight stood there in shock.
"Rarity does this mean you-"
"Yes Twilight i am in love with Spike as well. I didn't realize it until now and it all makes perfect sense why he would do all of the things he has done for me especially with the diamond dogs and when he gave me that fire ruby." Twilight start to cry as she hugs Rarity.
"You have no idea how happy this is going to make Spike." Rarity happily hugs Twilight back.
"Actually i do Twilight i do."
You, Celestia, Luna, Discord, Spike, and Flash were all travelling through the Everfree Forest and you have to fight off a couple packs of Timberwolves and a cockatrice that were under the control of dark magic. Luna was examining the surroundings carefully.
"Considering we are facing a lot of creatures under the influence of dark magic we must be getting close to the castle." Celestia nodded.
"I agree sister things are starting to become more hostile by the minute." You carefully watch for any more dangers lurking in the tree's.
"Well as long as i have the Blade of Harmony we should be fine."
After 15 more minutes of walking you finally come face to face with the Castle of Dark Magic.
"Dang sure looks like the type of castle that would contain dark magic."
Celestia's eyes widen as she remembers the other prophecy before she could warn the others however they were all transported inside with Dark Lights dark magic.
"Welcome to the Castle of Dark Magic you fools!" He laughs maniacally as he locks all exits to the castle to keep them from escaping and then he sealed away Discord's, Celestia's and Luna's magic.
"Hey! I can't use my chaos magic! well with the exception of defying gravity." Celestia glared at Dark Light.
"It appears Dark Light sealed all of our magic away." You then materialize the Blade of Harmony with its rainbow aura still surrounding the blade.
"With the exception of mine." Dark Light chuckles.
"I didn't seal yours because i am unable to. The Blade of Harmony is the only thing that can rival my power. But even if i could i still wouldn't that would make things too easy for me. If i am to destroy you and reek havoc on this world then i want to destroy my only obstacle with my own power by overpowering your power." You pointed the blade at him
"Then why don't we quit stalling and get down to it?" Dark Light Chuckled once more.
"In due time Allen. I am sure you want to see your family and friends first before we begin and then i have a tale i wish to share with you all and this tale will be one you will want to here." Dark Light glares at Celestia and with that glare she immediately knew what he was talking about.
"Dark Light please don't!"
"SILENCE WENCH!" he then throws the princesses in a cage and teleports the cage in the room beside the others. You charge up your blade ready to cut him down.
"Where did you send the princesses?!"
"They are in the room with your friends and family. Follow me." The rest of you followed Dark Light to the room where everyone was being held captive. You, Discord, Flash, and Spike rush over to the cage holding your loved ones as you four begin to cry.
"Applejack! Apple Cider! I was so worried about you! I missed you both so much!" You kiss Apple Cider on his head and kiss Applejack Lovingly on the lips as you do your best to hold them through the cage.
"Allen! We miss you so much too honey!"
"Daddy! I missed you! I am so scared!" Apple Cider and Applejack both cried tears of pain and joy.
"It's going to be alright you two i am here now."
Discord did his best to hold Fluttershy through the bars as they kissed passionately.
"Discord i missed you! i am really terrified right now." Fluttershy begins to cry.
"It's alright Fluttershy i am right here. I will protect you."
Spike and Flash both hugged Twilight as best as they could as Twilight and Flash also shared a loving kiss.
"I promise Twilight i will save you and get you out of here." Spike hugged Twilight harder.
"Me two Twilight and don't try to stop us we made up our minds." Twilight nodded.
"I know just please be careful you two." Spike turned to Rarity.
"Rarity pleas tell me you are OK too! Please don't be-" Spike was interrupted by Rarity pulling him into a loving kiss but not on the cheek this time on the lips. Spike was shock but returned the kiss.
"I am fine my Spikey-Wikey now that my gallant knight in shining armor is here." Spike started to tear up.
"Rarity do you mean-"
"Yes Spike you are my Knight in shining armor the prince i have been waiting for." Spike burst into tears of joy as kiss Rarity again and she returned the kiss.
"I love you Rarity."
"And i love you my Spikey-Wikey" Just as they confessed their love for each other Spike felt a sudden surge of pain on his back. His eyes closed as he fell to the ground his whole body turning pale and Spike wasn't moving at all.
"SPIKE!" everyone yelled in unison and Twilight and Rarity burst into tears as they saw Spike laying on the ground stiff as a board.
NO! SPIKEY-WIKEY! PLEASE GET UP! PLEASE DON'T DIE ON ME SPIKE! I LOVE YOU SPIKE PLEASE!" Dark Light burst into an evil laugh.
"I told you i would end his miserable life before your eyes Rarity!" You immediately stood up and turned to face Dark Light.
"You will pay for that Dark light." Dark Light stood there confused.
"Hmm i figured you would be more angry than this. I guess i will need to kill another one to-"
Dark Light was cut off by you quickly giving him a swift kick and send him flying into the wall.
"Time for talk is over Dark Light. Time for us to fight!"
Dark light emerged from the rubble and materialized the Blade of Disharmony as you materialized the Blade of Harmony. You stood before Dark Light determined to defeat him once and for all.
