Life of a Dragon: Die for Metal

Chapter 2: Betrayal (part 2)

Spike stared at the two mares on his sister's bed for what seemed like an eternity. He tried to form words, but he appeared to have lost the ability to speak. He just stood there, speechless. After a few moments of silencs, something in his mind finally clicked, and he said only five words.

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

Twilight and Rarity looked up at Spike, both looking as if they had been caught committing an unspeakable crime. The room was filled with a disturbing silence. "S-S-Spike..." Twilight stammered, "W-W-What are you doing here?"

Spike didn't answer her." What the fuck is wrong with you?" Spike snarled, "You know how I feel about Rarity, and yet you still took her for your own."

Twilight tried to respond, "Spike, please calm down..." she said.

Spike retorted, "Shut up, Sparkle." the way that he responded to her sent a shiver down her spine. "How long has this been going on?"

Twilight had to force herself to speak again. "T-T-Three months..." she whispered quietly, almost sounding like Fluttershy because of the mixture of nervousness and fear in her voice. She had never seen her little brother look so hurt and so angry at the same time. It scared her immensely.

Smoke started to emit from Spike's mouth and nostrils. "I see..." he began, "And did you plan on telling me eventually, or were you just going to keep leading me on so that you could still get free labor out of me?"

Rarity spoke for the first time since Spike had walked in on them. "Spike..." she started, " I'm sorry, but, Twilight and I are marefriends. I know we should have told you earlier, but we were afraid of how you would react. It has nothing to do with every thing you've done for us. And we're both still learning to cope with the fact that we like mar-

Spike exploded. "THAT'S BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT! YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE FOR KEEPING THIS FROM ME!" he screamed. flames shooting from his mouth. "YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE EVEN GOTTEN TOGETHER IN THE FIRST PLACE! YOU TWO DIDN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT HOW THIS WOULD MAKE ME FEEL, BECAUSE YOU ONLY THINK ABOUT YOURSELVES! SO DON'T TRY TO FEED ME ANY MORE OF YOUR BULLSHIT, BECAUSE I'M DONE!!!" A gout of flame shot from his mouth and narrowly missed Twilight and Rarity by just inches, scorching the bedpost and wall behind them.

Spike stormed out of the room, and proceeded to make his way down the hall, his tail would occasionally swing and destroy a set of armor, but he couldn't have cared less. He couldn't believe it. His sister had just proven what he had believed all along: None of them cared about him. The only people who ever even gave him a second's though was Celestia and Luna. He couldn't do it anymore. He had to get far away from Canterlot, from Ponyville, from Equestria itself. As far as he was concerned, it wasn't his home anymore.

"What's with all the yelling!? I'm trying to sleep here!"

He recognized Rainbow Dash's voice as he reached the entrance to the throne room. He turned around to find a disgruntled Rainbow Dash being followed closely by Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Fluttershy, each in their pajamas and looking as if they had been woken up violently. "What the hay is going on out here?" Applejack asked, rubbing her eyes as she did so.

The sight of Twilight and Rarity's friends only further reminded him of everything they had put him through, making him even more angry than before.

"Get away from me. All of you. I'm done dealing with you guys treating me like crap." Spike deadpanned. he walked through the entrance to the throne room, startling Princess Luna, who had been holding Night Court with members of her Lunar Guard. Twilight and Rarity had already caught up with Spike and the rest of the Mane Six, both with robes haphazardly thrown on in the process of trying to get to Spike before he could do something he'd regret. Nobody paid any attention to the two marefriends as they stood behind the rest of the group

"What are you talking about, Spike? Ya'll aren't making any sense." Applejack questioned him. Spike turned around to face the orange farm mare. Something was wrong though, his scales were turning slightly darker, his pupils turned into slits, and the whites of his eyes were turning gray.

Spike began to speak, "I'm making no sense?" he said, no emotion could be heard in his voice, "I"m talking about how you six have always treated me like crap. Everything that I've ever done has never mattered to any of you. Instead, you guys used me like a slave. Whenever you guys are off doing something cool or going on some adventure, I'm the one who gets left behind. And whenever you DO let me tag along, it's just so I can carry around all of your shit for you. And if that's not enough, how about the fact that you've never cared how your actions affect me. Remember how you guys left me sleeping on a chunk of ice during Winter Wrap Up around the time that Twilight first moved to Ponyville? I fell into the water and nearly froze to death. Did it ever even occur to you six that dragons, which are cold-blooded creatures, and freezing temperatures don't mix?"

Each recount of what the Mane Six did to Spike left the six mares looking guiltier and guiltier by the second, while Luna sat on her throne in the background, growing more and more furious at the Elements of Harmony for how they treated Spike. She already had ONE moody and depressed nephew, and now she had another furious, fire-breathing one to deal with.

Spike continued his rant. "How about when you all left to Canterlot to celebrate Twilight's birthday without inviting me? Or when you all forgot about MY birthday and went to go see a Wonderbolts show in Cloudsdale? Or how about the fact that you all completely neglected the fact that I SAVED THE CRYSTAL EMPIRE AND INSTEAD BROKE OUT INTO A SONG ABOUT TWILIGHT PASSING HER TEST!!!??? OR HOW ABOUT THE MOST RECENT EXAMPLE, WHERE TWILIGHT HAS BEEN FUCKING RARITY BEHIND MY BACK FOR THREE MONTHS!!!!????" The others looked back at Twilight and Rarity, who hung their heads in shame.

"I'M DONE BEING TREATED LIKE SHIT BY YOU STUPID, INCONSIDERATE CUNTS!!! YOU CAN ALL BURN IN HELL!!!!!!!"

The whites of Spike's eyes had gone completely black, and his fangs had grown considerably longer and sharper. The Mane Six took in Spike's new, frightening appearance before he sprinted out the castle exit. He spread his wings and flew away as fast as he could.

The Mane Six stood in the throne room, completely speechless, but all sharing the same thought:

"What have we done?"

Author's Note:

Well, I finally got the second chapter finished. I am ready for any complaints on how I portrayed Spike in this part of the story. I'll have chapter three out real soon. And for those of you who don't know, this chapter and the last one are named after the Lita Ford song "Betrayal".

Live hard and rock on!

Dude I need more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! soon..... This is soooooo awesome!!!!

[DragonPony]

Dude anyone that complains doesn't get the fact that this isn't nice super sweet Spike, this is "Metal Spike". This is a Spike that will call it how it is, a Spike that will speak his mind and tell you if you wrong him. Hell they are lucky he didn't drag them to hell himself.I like the Spike you are making him out to be, as long as he doesn't become a ass. He can stand up for himself, say what he feels, and not have to sugar coat things. I want him to embrace the metal. (Mind you "Metal Luna" sounds kinda hot but in this story she is more aunt so that is out the window lol) You did a good job with his reaction to the situation, it would have only been cooler if he would have punched the wall and took out the whole section with it to show the world what they were doing lol. Keep it up i am dying to see what happen next and when he start being metal (you better give him a guitar tho lol)

[robotfreak830]

"What have we done?"

Well from what I have gathered he was nearly terminated by the "practical joke" you six did to him, failed to send an invitation to him for his adopted sister's birthday, then to add insult to injury you failed to take notice of his birthday and the fact that he saved an entire empire. Also he may be a little upset about how Twilight (cough, cough) fornicated with Rarity.

[Mad Maudlin]

Well. Its true. Spike basically is a slave. Both Twilight and Rarity exploit him shamefully, and most of the others basically ignore him or use him as a pack mule.

Freaking out when you realize that you've been emotionally manipulated and used for years is a perfectly reasonable response. Especially when it turns out that your sister/mother/slave master is bucking the mare of your dreams behind your back, fully knowing your feelings about said mare.

[DanvilleBengal]

Complaints?

ARE YOU MAD??!!!

This is awesome!!! And to be honest, about a year and a half late for forgiveness, but as so many people have said----better late than never.

And give up the political correctiveness with the term fornicating. No offense, but seriously, just call it like it is---Twilight is fucking Rarity, and they both knew it, and obviously didn't care. And wow--three months? I wonder when was it when they both discovered that they liked mares? Was Rainbow Dash and Applejack involved? I wouldn't be surprised.

And now, we don't have just a broken mane 6, but an obviously pissed off princess that has already succumed to the dark side once before. We haven't even found out what Celestia's gonna do with this....

Shit, meet fan----then duck and cover.

4079051 How see "If" Dash and AJ have something to do with it and didn't say anything to Pinkie and Shy what is really doing to mess things up between them. Just thinking about it pisses you off, them messing around behind his back like that. I think you figured it out about 3 months ago lol. But still to not tell him when you first started dating or even when you first started having feelings show you didn't care about what he felt but instead kept using him knowing how he felt. Dude if it was me I wouldn't have been able and I would have put my fist through the wall and would have told them off much less nice then Spike lol. METAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

[DragonPony]

4078886 But you see because Spike was a slave and used when he is out in his travels and comes across a land being enslaved and their people being abused he wont just stand there. He will RISE and FIGHT BACK. He will show them you don't have to be someone's slave. You can live for yourself and those you care for. and he will do this with the power of METAAAALLLL!!!!!

I would be ready to turn Canterlot Castle into a volcano...but then again, I have to think that despite wanting to succumb to his instincts, Spike's got enough control with himself to not quite do that. Plus, as we are seeing it here, we are gonna find out if verbal barbs and immeticulously-time F-bombs are more effective than actual physical violence.

Probably in the back of his mind, he's probably thinking: "OK, I'm mad as hell right now, but still this isn't a time to make ponies' fear of dragons become realized. In other words, I'll show them the good side of dragons, not the greed growth side. I'm gonna be leaving this place anyway, I don't need to give ponies a reason to banish me. Doesn't hurt to cuss and swear like a sailor stallion on leave, though "

[DragonPony]

4079401 Lol true, but that is why Spike is the man. But hey I can put my hand through a wall as long as it isn't through a lavender or white face lol.. Still can't wait to see the after effects of Spike rant on everyone there.
