Nice chapter, Twilight better watch-out.

Good chapter, I'm confused whether I should root for Spike or Twilight.

I'm going with Emperor Spike. GO SPIKE. Great chapter. TO be honest I hope Spike's love for his slaves will allow Thorax to transform when the time is right. I guess we get to the actual plot now. Great job. I can't to see what happens. It would be cool if the two ponies tried to convince Ember and Spike uses this (As well as ember) to manipulate them.

As for the actual chapter, I like the set up, and how harmony spike is showing some disgruntlement. and how it is overlooked for various reasons. Then to the actual event, a screw got loose. With magic even the smallest things count. Then their arrive. Classic. Then some good love for a needy, but deserving Changing. (I love his new back story, and maybe it can be expanded as well as Ember's later.) And Spike's reaction to the unwanteds.... Is is alright to feel a little sorry for Garble. NAAAAH

Damn! I can't wait to see Twilight and Starlight's reaction to what Spike could be.
