The Path Of The Seven Sins

by Fry


The Biggest Sacrifice

Spike,Fluttershy,Pinkie and Fry are running into the castle.
They are standing on an wooden floor with in front of them two doors....they have to choose...

One door has a sign with red letters : Home.
And the second door had a sign with cornflower-blue letters saying : Continue.

''What must we do now?'' Fry asked in panic.
''I-i have not even one brilliant idea...Spike?'' Pinkie looks at Spike.
''Just...don't...choose!'' Spike warns as he tries to resist the doors.

Fluttershy twitched her eye and thinks deeply...

''Home...Means Equestria
.....Safe.....and...nice...and..cozy...back into your home...i have to get back...now...now NOW!!!''

''C-common guys it's this way.!'' Shouts fluttershy walking towards the first door.
''NO FLUTTERSHY STOP!!!'' Spike screams.
But it was already to late...The door slammed behind Fluttershy and an Dark,Deep voice spoke :

''Are you seduced by desire,hope or glory, know well for whom you're going to choose...''

Spike and Fry pulled at the door.
''Open now,Common!''
''HELP!'' Fluttershy screams.
''Hold on Fluttershy,Will save you!'' Pinkie said positive and she kept on pulling at the doorknob.

''H-hurry,Open the door....O-open the....d-door...'' Fluttershy squealed.''

Fry pushed his hooves in a weird way against the door.
''SESAM OPEN NOW! .......Hmm...it doesn't work...'' Fry scratched his head.

''Fluttershy are you still there....Fluttershy?........f-fluttershy?" Spike stumbled.
There was a moment of silence...
''Fluttershy?...'' asked Fry.
...no answer...

Suddenly the door opened...
A breeze flowed out trough the manes of Pinkie and Fry.
Spike,Pinkie and Fry didn't breath...

With an ''KA-BLAM!'' felt an statue out of the door...
''N-no...'' Pinkie stumbled...
Fluttershy's statue laid live-less on the ground,her eyes still full of tears...

Fry and Spike's eyes filled with tears as they try to walk further.
''C-common Pinkie, we have to go on quick!'' Fry pulled Pinkie away from the statue.
''S-she's gone...we have to keep going!'' Spike grabbed her mane and starts pulling.
''NOOOOOOO!!!!!!'' Pinkie screamed as tears streamed down her cheek.

Fry and Spike dragged Pinkie up the stairs....while the statue disappeared into the distance.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After Pinkie calmed down,they decided to go on still.
Spike puts na claw on the shoulder of Pinkie,who was still sniffing from the lost from all of her friends.
''It's okay Pinkie...we will make it....to the bitter end!!!'' Spike smiled.
''O-okay...'' Pinkie stumbled.
Fry hugs Pinkie tight and whipped her tears away.
''Common,let's go...'' Fry whispered and they walked further trough the castle.

20 minutes later Spike shouted.
''Wait! She's maybe in the tower. That's like always, right?'' Spike smiled.
''Spike, this isn't ''Sleeping Beauty''...,'' says Pinkie giggling like she always does.

Fry opens an red door.
He walks into a big room.
Fry and Pinkie smiled birghtly what they saw in the room.
In the room stands two tables with food : cakes, cookies, fruit and of course cupcakes! And in the back of the room stands a corner full of gold and silver and diamonds and other jewelry.

''Food,'' stutters Pinkie
''Hmmm....Gold...and..food...'' Fry stumbles after Pinkie.

''Don't,'' says Spike.
''I Guess...this sin is...Gluttony! Don't touch anything,okay guys? Promise?''
Pinkie and Fry nodded their heads like two little angels.
''Pinkiepie Swear?'' spike raised an eye-brow.
''Cross my heart,hope to fly,stick a cupcake,in my eye!''
Shouts The pink earth pony happy,while she moved with her hooves.
Fry looks at Pinkie.
''Wow awesome,swear!'' He said amazed.

''Okay then,i'm going to look for Rarity,i'll be right back!'' Spike explains and walks out of the room.
Fry and Pinkie laughed and they walked to the tables.

Spike searched around his surroundings.He sees another door. ''Finally'' He thinks.
''....Rarity?'' He shouts curious.
...
''S-spike ...is that you? Oh my little Spikey-wikey,what am i glad to hear your sweet little voice again!'' Rarity's voice spoke.
Spike's heart skips an beat from excitement and screams : ''Rarity! Open the door!''

''I'm locked up by the count in this dirty room,it's just such a shame. The curtains are so old and dusty and the carpets are messy and the color doesn't fit with my mane,hey where are the others?'' Rarity asked politely.
Spike didn't knew how he could put it to Rarity.
''Uhm...they are all stones...b-but don't worry,Rarity! I can explain it all to you...after i got you out of this tower!''
Spike promised.
The Fashion Unicorn looked down for a second...
''My friends....gone?'' Rarity couldn't believed her ears.

She still can't believe it and thinks...
''My Friends are all gone...but Oh my heavens,Spike's here! Thank Celestia,I'm saved!
That brave little dragon made it all the way up here...
Maybe he is my true love....''


Meanwhile is Fry puts on an Diamond ring and an crown.
''Hahaha,i feel so mighty!'' He laughs.
He flies back to Pinkie and puts also a crown on her head.
Pinkie looked with hungry eyes at the table.

''Do you thinking what my brain is thinking,Fry?'' Pinkie smiled at him with big pink eyes.

''Uhmm,That elephants can fly?'' Guessed Fry.

''No,Silly! That we can eat all these stuff!'' Pinkie shouts while she puts on a Sapphire-necklace.
Than Suddenly Fry sees a cookie filled with chocolate.
''Hmmm....must...eat....temptation...must eat them all!!!'' Fry grabbed all the cookies and he putted them in his mouth.
He dropped the chest besides him.

''Oooohhh....Shiny and Delicious!'' Pinkie looked impressed at the jewelry.
She grabs 3 purple cupcakes from the table and starts to eat as well,while she's putting more Diamond-rings around her hooves.
Suddenly Fry starts to ''Oink!'' Like a pig.
and Pinkie grabs more Diamonds,Ruby's and even Onyxes to put on her head.


''P-pinkie,'' Says a broken and suffering voice.

Pinkie turns around.
''Yes,Fry i.....'' Her words stocked in her throat and she holds an hoof in front of her mouth.

''Bye...bye...'' Says Fry waving sadly with an cookie in his hoof while the gray stone surrounds his head.

The stone reached over his hoof...his cookie broke into pieces on the ground. .
Pinkie drops the necklace around her neck and she sees how her neck starts to turning gray.

''N-noooo!!!'' Pinkie screams with terror in her eyes.
The pink pony runs for her last seconds towards Fry and holds his Stone-hoof.

''Common...everypony...smile...smile....smi....''
The stone covered the Pink pony's mouth...

''Nopony can reach the end...
Neither them who fill their mouth or pouch or those who dream of themselves.''
Says the Dark,deep voice out of nowhere.

Spike returns,running down the stairs.
''Hey guys i found Rarity!!! You should...''
''....uhm...guys?''

Spike looked around...but then he sees it.
His last two friends..turned into stone. Spike sniffs and whipped his tears away.
''No.....N-no....I lost everypony!...H-how could this...h-happen.'' Spike stumbled through the hall.
Spike smacked himself in the face with his claw.
''Common Spike,y-your a big...*Gulp*.... dragon! Just keep it together! I'm the only one left to save Rarity...''
He collected all his courage and sighed deeply.He races back up the stairs back to the door where Rarity is.
He looks around.

He suddenly sees a sword and gets an idea.
He lifts the sword carefully up and swings it with all his power on the door.
After 5 hits with the sword the door is finally open.
''Now i hope...n-nopony else heard me...'' Spike gulped once again while sweat is covering his forehead.

Rarity opened her eyes slowly.
''Oh Spike,i knew you could do it!'' She hugged the dragon tight with his head onto her chest.
''Hehe,a-anything for you,M-miss Rarity...'' Spike blushed.
''Quick,just open the chest,Darling!'' says Rarity.

Spike nods and put his claw in his scalps again. He holds out the key from the test of anger.
But then they both heard something.
''LOOK OUT,SPIKE!'' Rarity squealed and she hides behind the bed that stands into the room.
Spike ducks, an iron shield flies like a frisbee over his head and lands with an ''CLANG!'' next to Rarity.
Count Rohan clashes his sword on the ground.

''Hey ...Little Dragon...It's time to finish this....once..and..for..all.'' He smirked and sprints towards spike with his sword.
Spike screams and runs into the other room where the Fry and Pinkie-statues are standing.
He accidentally drops the key of anger onto the ground.

''Dont't hurt him,you stupid count,nopony touches little Spikey-wikey~'' Rarity shouts while she chased after them.
When she finally came down...she stood into a corner.
She sees Rohan chasing Spike through the room.

''Come back,you little...'' The count growls furious like an wolf.
Rohan swings his sword again but Spike ducks another time.
''Hey,watch out where you point those things!'' he shouts.
He sees another sword and gets an idea.
''Aha!'' he says and runs to it,but Count Rohan is much earlier.

''No,no...we aren't going to cheat...hahahaha'' He laughed mean.
He places his Hoof on it,but Spike spews his fire-breath over his hooves .
''ÝIIIIOOOOAAAAAAUUUWWWWW!!!!'' The Count screams out of pain and falls on the ground.
The brave,young dragon jumped over the count's body and grabs his own sword again.
''En Garde!'' Spike said Brave.
''Haha,who's laughing now,huh?'' Spike smirked while he made huge swings with the swings.

But suddenly Spike thinks for one second and he stands still.
Spike wants to sting the sword into the Count's body, but he sees that Rohan laying lifeless on the ground.
He stops with moving the sword around and looks at his body.His green dragon eyes were filled with...an feeling...

''Common Spike,Fight!'' screams Rarity. ''Fight with him!'' But Spike did not even move an muscle.

Rohan Laughs quietly and stands up slowly on his hooves again.
Spike gulped,he knew what was going to happen and closed his eyes.
The Count suddenly runs towards him and hits him with his hoof in his face.

The Little dragon smacked on the ground...

''Spike!!!'' Rarity shouted in fear as she stood back.

''Arrrgghh...'' Spike rubs his red cheek and stood up again,stumbling on his dragon-feet.

''That's too bad. Isn't that right, Spike?'' Rohan whispered.

He raises his other hoof and punches into his face again.
Spike felt against the wall and then collapsed on the wooden floor.

''NO,STOP! PLEASE!!!'' The shocked,unicorn screams and ran towards the knocked down dragon.
Rarity putted an hoof on his chin.
''Oh Spike...'' Sniffed the fashion-unicorn while teardrops felt down from her cheeks onto Spike's nose.

Spike spitted out an tooth and coughed.
''R-rarity...*Cough*....'' He moaned and he rubbed his cheek against her hoof.

''HAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!!!'' He laughed while he walked towards the little dragon again.
''Get out of the way,you ugly mule!'' The Count yells and he pushed Rarity away from the little dragon.
Rarity lands next to the statue of Pinkie while she cried : ''Do you even have a h-heart?''

''Common,fight like a real dragon should,common!!!'' The count pulled him up.

''Why Don't you fight back,Spike!!! Spike say something to me!''
Rarity cries while she whipped her tears away with her mane.
Spike blinked with eyes and focuses on the count again...not replying to Rarity's question.

''DO YOU STILL DON'T GET IT?'' Rohan shouts while he moved closer to Spike while he tried to sting Spike with his sword.

'' He can't fight, because I've placed a sin in this castle. Do you know him, Spike? DO YOU KNOW HIM?! RAAAH!!!''

Rohan gets mad and he chops with the sword a piece of wood of an closet.
Spike escapes the attack and quickly jumps on the table with food,fruit and cakes.

''Let all malicious bitterness and anger and wrath and screaming and abusive speech be taken away from YOU along with all badness...''
Rohan whispered slowly while his pupils shrinks an inch.

''Stop It,Rohan! J-just give up with all this...y-you will never win!'' Spike pants and jumps of the table towards his sword.
Count Rohan teleported himself to him and grabbed his throat while he pressed him against the wall.

''I Take that as a ''NO'' for not knowing the sin in this castle,am i right...SPIKEY...WIKEY!!!''
Rohan squeezed Spike throat deeper and deeper.

''STOP IT,YOUR MURDERING HIM!'' Rarity cries,hiding behind The statue of Fry.

Spike's face turned ''berry-purple'' while he tried to gasp for air.
''Oh i will tell you the sin,Spike...'' Rohan says calm.

''It's WRATH!...REVENGE!!!''
''You can't harm me...because than your using..''Anger.'' and isn't ''Anger'' a sin..oh right...Twilight isn't here to talk about sins! What a shame...such a smart unicorn seduced by Lust''
Rohan looked down while he shaked his head.

''But now it is over Spike...Nopony ever came back Alive from ''The Path Of The Seven Sins''...and so it will be also this time.
You know...this path...truly is the best thing i ever made!''

Rohan laughed an little while he released Spike an small inch.
Spike finally breathed and he filled his longs with sweet,sweet oxygen.

''Because it proves again that...True Love...just doesn't exists...''

Rohan looked at an painting that hanged next to Rarity.
The painting showed an image of him standing smiling next to an other mare.
Rohan thought for an second,but than he shakes his head and turns back to Spike.

''You and Rarity will get an special place as statue's in my castle,you look so...stupid...together.
And when i turned Rarity into stone ...MY HEART WILL BE STONED...FOREVER!!!''

Rohan laughs while he slowly raised his sword above Spike's head.
''Any last words,Wurm?'' Rohan teased while he holds up his sword.

''Yeah...maybe i can't kill you...'' Replies Spike.

''BUT I STILL CAN LET YOU FEEL...PAIN!!!''

Spike grabs The key of Anger from the ground and points it in his eyes.
''AAAAAAAAAARRGHH!!!'' Rohan backed away while he rubbed his eyeball.

The Key flew through the air and lands with an ''Clingeling'' in front of Rarity.

''I will chop you into pieces!!!'' Yells The count and he swings with his sword towards Spike.
Spike swings back and an sword battle begins.

Rarity looks at the Dragon and the Pony.
''I certainly must do something!'' she thinks.
She sees suddenly the key of Anger.She runs towards it and takes it in her mouth. She suddenly sees An chest next to the Fry-statue

''Rohan tried to grab the chest,but Rarity got furious and starts to scream in his ears.
''AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!'' The Unicorn whined.
Rohan falls over but quickly gets up and gets after Spike.
Rarity smiled and puts the key in the chest...
A ''click!'' came out of the chest and a snake-rattling skittered out of the lock.

Rohan pushed Spike against the wall and removed his sword out of his claws.
''...Well...this is the end,Goodbye Spike.''
He raised his sword and Spike closed his eyes.
The sword lowers but stop in front of Spike's chest.
An beating sound beated through the whole castle. Rohan dropped his sword and looked back towards the chest.
Spike slowly opens an eye.
Rarity watches with open mouth to what actually lays inside the chest.
''TWO beating hearts were pumping inside the chest.
'B-but that's y heart...,'' stumbles Rohan.

'''And mine,'' says a voice. Charlotte appears out of a ball of smoke in front of Rohan.
'' I've waited so long for you, Rohan.'' Charlotte smiled into his face.
''B-but...'' Spike's jaw dropped while he stood next to Rarity...looking at Charllote and Rohan.

Chalotte turned towards Spike.
''To let Rohan's heart turn into stone,the devil needed a big sacrifice...'' Chalotte explained.
''So i gave the devil my heart in return...i putted Rohan's heart in a place he would never look for...In a ''CHEST''

''But you l-loved someone else.'' Stuttered Rohan while he looked into Charlotte's eyes.

''That was a lie from my parents,my heart belongs next to yours. I'm in love with you, Rohan.''
A tear escaped Charlotte's eye while she smiled at him lovingly.

A smile appears on Rohan's face.
''I....''
He sighed.
'' I Love You Too.''

Rohan leans in and he kisses her lips.He felt an beating sensation in his chest.
Charlotte putted happy her hooves around him and kisses with passion back.

A golden light shines into the room.
Rohan and Charlotte disappeared into the golden light.

Spike looks at Rarity and slowly leans in,their lips smooching onto each-others while an heavenly voice spoke :

''Remember this with all the things you do, keep your heart full of love and courage....''

Rarity and Spike both closed their eyes...
