Spike leaned against the cold stone wall. His eyes were puffy and red from crying. He placed his hands on his knees and stared up to the dark ceiling. "This is how it ends?" He asked. "Is this the end of my life in Equestria?" He turned his head to the chamber door. "Is somepony coming?" He listened to the sound of hoofsteps. The door opened slowly. Spike stared at the guard. His eyes widened when he saw who came in after the guard. Those violet eyes, her blue scales The guard opened his cell door and pushed her into the cell with Spike. Spike immediately wrapped his arms around her.
"Spike?" She asked.
"Dim Sum, why are you here?" Spike hugged his friend tighter.
'I don't know," she released him. "When you were hauled off to here a second carriage came out of nowhere. I was placed under arrest. I'm scared Spike," she grabbed Spike's hand.
"We'll be fine," he gazed into her eyes. "I'm sure of it."
As night fell the chamber became cold and unbearable. Spike blew light flames onto the stone to warm it up. He sat next to Dim Sum and ruffled her spines. "How are you holding up?"
"As good as can be expected, considering we're about to be banished."
"I don't get it. Why are you here? You did nothing,"
"The guard never told me what I was being charged for." Dim Sum sighed. "I just got here and now I have to leave,"
"Well. At least we have each other," he opened his arm. Dim Sum blushed and moved closer.
"Is this a bit inappropriate? Since I've only known you for a day."
"Who cares. Nopony can judge us." He snarled. "Not like I care about those insignificant ponies." Dim Sum stared into his eyes.
"You don't mean that. Do you?"
"I do. They've never done anything for me." Dim Sum saw a light purple glow radiate off of his eyes. She put hand on his shoulder and gave him a small hug. Spike moved his face away as blush formed on his cheeks. The glow is gone. Dim Sum thought.
"Why did you hug me?," Spike asked.
"Just wanted to test something out."
"Okay," Spike scratched the back of his head. "So it's getting late isn't it?" He chuckled lightly.
"It is," she stood up. "Maybe we should go to sleep."
"U-uh, you mean t-together?"
"I don't see two beds," she said
"Sure. I've slept with Twilight before hehe," Spike placed his head on the small pillow. He scooched over to make room for her. Dim Sum laid down next to him.
"You comfortable?"
"Uh yeah," he closed his eyes.
What ever that purple glow is, it disappears whenever I show him affection she closed her eyes. The question is. What is it?
The Next Day
Dim Sum opened her eyes and sat up. She glanced at Spike's sleeping body. How could a dragon like him be so angry? She sighed. I don't understand she heard the door creak open. A guard walked in and levitated two plates into the cell. "What's this?" Dim Sum asked.
"It's breakfast. Eat up, you two have a long day ahead of you," the guard exited the chamber.
"Spike wake up," she shook him.
'Huh, what?" He sat up. "What's going on?" He looked around. "Oh yeah, banishment."
"Well at least we have food," she passed him the plate.
"Eggs and toast. Well something's better than nothing." He picked up the fork.
"Sure is," Dim Sum placed the eggs into her mouth. "Not too bad considering."
"I guess. I prefer gems in my breakfast." He bit into his toast. "I hope we don't get banished to somewhere bad."
"We can only hope Spike." She smiled. "It'll be like an adventure."
"That's not my idea of an adventure," he sighed. "Make the best of a bad situation"
"That's the spirit," she stood up and stretched. "Not enough space in here."
"Well while were here we can talk."
"About what?"
"I don't know. Stuff." He shrugged his shoulders.
"Well, hmm. Where are you from?" She asked.
"I don't know. I was hatched in Canterlot." He sat down. "I never met my parents."
"I haven't either," she smiled. "Looks like we've got something in common."
"We were both raised by ponies." Dim Sum's smile faded. Oh no. That stallion Spike thought.
"Yeah, I was," she smiled halfheartedly. "Well enough about that." She sat down next to him. "Ever had a crush?"
"Yeah I have one... Well did have one,"
"Who is she?" Dim Sum asked.
"Her name is Rar-Sweetie Belle" he said while sweat formed on his brow.
"Sweetie Belle? Well she is pretty cute." Dim Sum nudged his shoulder.
"Yep totally hot," he bit his lip. "Anyway. What's your favorite color?"
"That's a hard one. If I have to choose it would be hmm blue,"
"Really?"
"Yep just like sapphires."
"I love sapphires!" Spike said.
"I know, aren't they the best!"
"Look's like I might have a lot more in common with you than I thought."
"Who would of known?" she giggled. Spike stared at her eyes. "So do you think we'll be put into some other country?"
"I don't know. They could banish us any place they like." He glanced over to the chamber door. Oh no A guard wearing silver armor walked up to their cell.
"It's time," the mare said as she unlocked the cell door.
"Let's just get this over with," Spike stood up and exited the cell. Dim Sum followed after him.
The walk up the stone stairs was quiet and long. As they exited the dungeon the large castle came into view.
"You have a carriage waiting for us?" Spike spat out.
"Not exactly." They continued walking until they stopped in front of the palace. The two massive doors opened. Spike and Dim Sum walked into the palace. Spike eyes were fixed on a certain mare. Princess Celestia he thought. This is going to be interesting The pair stopped infront of the throne.
"Spike, Dim Sum you two must be very confused. I can't blame you for that." She turned to her guards. "I request privacy with these two." The guards nodded and walked away.
"We're not being banished?" Spike asked.
"Of course not, that was just a cover."
"A cover for what?"
"I'm afraid Twilight and the elements of harmony cannot know of this."
"What's happening?"
"Spike you remember what happened at the Crystal Empire?" He nodded. "It turns out that Sombra wasn't completely defeated."
"How? It can't be."
"Spike when you attacked your friends did you have control over your actions?"
"I didn't. I just felt this anger and next thing I knew, I was in the Carousel Boutique."
"Did you feel a struggle? Did you feel as if something else had control over you?"
"I think so. I can't really explain it." He glanced at her eyes. "It just felt like a dream."
"Looks like it was worst than we expected." Celestia said.
"Worst? What do you mean?"
"Spike, a part of Sombra lives inside of you,"
"That... That isn't possible." He shook his head. "It cannot be true." Celestia put a hoof on his shoulder.
"I'm afraid it's true."
"How?"
"When Princess Cadence used the Crystal heart against Sombra a small part of him latched on to the nearest magical source." She put a hoof on his chest. "He latched on the fire inside you."
"But... I don't have magic."
"Yes you do. My magic to be precise." She sighed. "When you were little I implanted a part of my magic into the fire that is inside your lungs. Haven't you ever wondered why your fire is green?"
"It never occured to me that my fire was different from any other dragon."
"Dim Sum." Celestia said.
"Yes princess?"
"Could you blow some fire into the air?"
"Yes, of course Princess." Dim Sum stepped away from them. She breathed in air and blew out red flames into the air."
"You see Spike? You're different from any other dragon. After all, not every dragon can transport letters through their fire."
"So what can we do?"
"The only thing that can be done." She furrowed her brow. "We have to get rid of the Sombra inside of you."
"How?"
Princess Celestia stood up. "Please follow me. I have something you need to see."
Sombra... it had to be Sombra. Nice twist. This story just got more interesting. I like it. Keep it up, and I'll try to keep up.
Also, FIRST!!!
6318238 if I had my PC it would have nearly twice the amount if words at half the time. But I guess my phone will do.
6269558 What a coincidence.
6318262 It's all good. My PC's has problems too. Had to finish and publish a chapter for one of my fics from my iPad. You're fine. Hope your PC gets fixed soon.
6318263 That actually took me off guard. I was thinking how did he know?
Glad they're not banished. I would hate to see Spike and Dim so lonely for a while.
I can't wait till they get Sombra out of Spike, but then Celestia realizes why he activated rage mode.
Also can't wait for the CMC to make their appearence.
Waiting for the up coming chapters!!!
6318272 it's not broken. I'm actually out of town due to my grandfather.
6318275 Yeah. That wad a weirdly accurate guess.
6318277 Poor Dim Sum. I don't think I have the heart to do that
6318285 He is beyond this dimension
6318284 oh. Cool.
6318288 I wouldn't. She's too sweet for banishment.
6318297 I'd say 5th dimension!
6318298 She can do more than cute.
6318311 Oh yeah. Almost forgot about that. Her grin in the cover art should've reminded me.
6318321 Dem chopsticks tho
6318329 Yeah. Those things can be lethal weapons.
6318334 just not in any way that matters
6318335 What do you mean?
6318350 it's really hard to kill somebody with chopsticks.
6318352 They're pretty pointy...
6318288 Yup. Though, it's really hard to make me cry. And I've read ALOT of sad fics.
My little Dashie is my "final resort" to try to make me cry.
6318430 i'm not that good at feels
6318352 actually there is a kung-fu style based on chopsticks...
6318779 Really? Well the more you know
6318435 Not really my thing either. I try though.
6319449 it just happens
6318779 Yup. It's pretty deadly.
Wait a minute purple glowing eyes and sudden onset of insanity and rage.......OH SHI-
Well there boned
while Sombra is a nice explanation for the growth and memory loss, i'm still finding it frustrating that spike never told anyone other then dim about why he was angry or why Celestia didn't question the anger that caused this whole thing? however it could be that he hasn't gotten the chance to but now he does, i really hope he brings it up next chapter.
oh and i still hate twilight in this story, for a pony who "cared" about spike, i find it annoying that she didn't bother to give spike a chance to explain why he was angry with her even though he said to her during the event that it was her fault. you would have thought twilight would at least try to get an explanation from someone who she considered a "friend" while he was carried away or while he was in jail. instead she gave him the cold shoulder. oh well what done is done, unless i was supposed to hate twilight then please disregard what i said.
anyway, there's my rant for the story and really my only complaint which isnt really a bad thing all
6319711 What the heck did I just watch
6320054 Well I really enjoyed reading that. Seriously it makes me wonder how I can turn this into a happy ending for Spike and Dim Sum. I'm just going to keep writing to see what I come up with.
6320325 (I'm getting that a lot recently) Thats the purple combo form from Kamen rider 000 which was so powerful it drove the rider mad that bird guy was his best friend that strike at the end of the video killed him later from the wound also trust me that is not weirdest thing produced for kamen rider.........wanna see the weirdest?
6320351 No No No No! I'm not that kinky!
6320358 Muhahahhaha say goodbye to your sanity!
God bless Japan
6320364 Why just...why?
6320372 just watch it and you'll know you'll know all
I did not see that coming Reminds of me of the last of Harry Potter when Harry discovered that part of Voldemort lived inside him when he looked into Severus Snape's memories. Oh, gosh, I hope whatever it is can help Spike, and I hope that Twilight, and the others will come to their senses and be there for Spike.
6327880 My god Harry Potter is the best story I've ever read.
6327880 I love Harry Potter
6328719 Me too.
