The Army is Assembled

Spike and Ember arrived back at Ponyville and landed safely on the ground. "So, where is your army?", Ember asked.

"We're right here.", Limestone shouted.

"Now, now, Limestone, they already saw us.", Pinkie said.

"Thank you, so much for coming, everypony.", Spike said. "Because, I was hoping you all would be here."

"So, why did you ask your friends to bring us here to help you go against that 'Javier Black' guy?", Braeborn asked.

"Because, I needed a bigger army to help me.", Spike said. "I changed my mind about fighting him myself."

"But, why did you change your mind about facing him yourself?", Iron Will asked. "You think he might have an even bigger army than yours?"

"THAT'S NOT THE POINT!", Spike snapped. "I just needed you all to go with me to Gryphonstone."

"Well, we're the strongest wonderbolts ever.", Spitfire said. "Nothing can hurt us."

"But, you remember when that giant rampaging dragon trapped us that water tower?", Thunderlane asked.

"I think so.", Spitfire said.

"But, wait, this army isn't big enough.", Spike said. "We need one more pony who is strong enough to fight evil."

"Really, who is it?", Twilight asked.

"Big Mac.", Spike said. "Rainbow Dash, I want you to go look for him."

"Okay.", Rainbow Dash said. "But, he's a farmer pony, I'm not sure if he can fight evil. Well, shouldn't I fly in the sky to see where he is?"

"GET BIG MAC HERE!", Spike snapped.

"Okay, chill!", Rainbow Dash said as she flew in the air.

"Spike, are you sure having Big Mac on this journey is a great idea?", Applejack asked.

"I'm sure it's perfectly safe, AJ.", Spike said.
