Chapter 8
Spike was flying in the skies of Ponyville and was currently crying as he flew. The poor baby dragon had to first go through having to stop an evil version of himself from the future, but having to confront the source of it? He was betrayed and heartbroken at the fact that it was none other then the girls and in some level, some of the citizens of Ponyville. As he had began to fly, he had managed to reach a quiet spot near a cliff and simply looked at the sky.
"Is this my fate? Having to turn evil because of my friends? Or if they were friends at all?" Spike thought
As the young dragon looked at the sunny sky, he only began to ask himself that question further more and then flew away, unaware he was watched by 3 familiar figures.
Princess Celestia faced the 5 mares along with Starlight, Cadance, Shining and Luna, and said
"Well? I'm waiting for your answer." Princess Celestia said
The mares were all looking down at the glaring alicorn, though they still didn't answer.
Twilight, knowing the tip of the iceberg had been crossed said "Girls, it's time to come clean. "
"With what? What have we done to offend him?" Rainbow Dash asked, still confused
Twilight, now fed up and annoyed said "Are you kidding?! You should know from all the pranks you and Pinkie played on him all the time! Like that prank with the thundercloud!"
"Oh yeah those were such good times! The look on his face was priceless! Right Pinkie?" Rainbow Dash said with disregard
"You bet Dashie!" Pinkie agreed
"Well it wasn't funny with HIM!, you both could've killed him with that!" Twilight, shouted as he slammed her hooves down, leaving them surprised.
"But...we..we didn't mean..." Pinkie said, but was cut off
"You didn't then, but what if something goea wrong next time? And what if Spike got really hurt? THEN what would you do? The both of you could have been arrested!" Twilight said
"And on top of it you two, your elements would likely disown you!" Celestia said in disgust
"Twi, Celestia, wait!" Rainbow Dash protested, but was cut off
"And the time when he nearly froze to death in Winter-Wrap up and we didn't help but laugh, and now I feel that one was on me!" Twilight further pressed on
"Twilight, would you chill? The important thing is Spike's ok and got over his cold."
"Ugh, Rainbow Dash, your so insensitive!" Twilight said with a scowl
"Excuse me?" The cyan Pegasus responded
"It was YOUR idea to put him in that block of ice! Waiting for him to drown!" Twilight notified
"Um, let's rephrase that. The idea wasn't to 'drown' him, it was more like a 'cold shower wake up call.'. Besides we've done that prank a bunch of times before you came to Ponyville, Twi. I even did it to AJ and she got out ok. Right AJ?" Rainbow Dash justified
"Yeah, i got out alright, after a few sniffles. But only you would raise the stakes for a kid Dash" Applejack said in a grumble
"See?! That's exactly what I mean!" Twilight pointed out
"Hey I didn't know the lake was THAT cold then?! And I said sorry like everypony else! How were we supposed to know dragons were sensitive to the cold? If anything, you should've known that Twilight! Your the egghead! So it's kinda your fault." Rainbow Dash responded
"Rainbow Dash! How dare you try to blame Twilight!? You ought to know better, because back then Spike was still a child and from what that other evil Spike said, you are just a major reason of what happened to him! Would you do that to Scootaloo?" Fluttershy scolded
Rainbow Dash only slumped down, unable to argue before saying "Well then, what about you Twilight?! Like how you constantly overwork him, leave him behind and made him feel replaced with that pet owl of yours! He even ran away from home for Celestia's sake!"
Twilight only looked down and said in response "Hey! You are just as guilty in those first two things then we are! Plus I wanted to HELP him! I know he can't work overnight! And from what I remember, YOU were the one that said he isn't like any dragons during the dragon migration you half minded fool!!!"
"Well at least I didn't use him as a test dummy during the Iron Pony competition!" Rainbow Dash answered
"Like your no better then Rarity!" Applejack countered
"I beg your pardon?! Where did you start-" Rarity said upon hearing Applejaxk's statememt, but she cut her off and continued
"Dont chu play the stinkin innocent card! It's clear 24/7 Spike is head over heels for you! He practically worships you! But to you he's just an errand boy you take advantage of!" Applejack pointed out
"Now listen here!"
"And don't get me started on how you make him do YOUR work, job and I'm pretty sure luggage cause your to darn lazy to do it yourself. BTW, ya don't need everything on a trip to go to! Not only that, but you swindled him out of a Fire Ruby and didn't even care!" Applejack further said
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY I DON'T CARE ABOUT SPIKE!" Rarity said
This was the breaking point as Twilight, Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Shining all shouted
"ENOUGH!"
"We didn't come to watch you all complain and argue! This is a very serious matter and you should all be the Elements you are and settle the matter instead of further creating it!" Celestia said
"Not only that, but Spike might think badly of us more if we don't fix this!" Twilight said
Seeing they had gone off topic, the girls all gave solemn looks and slumped in their chairs and continued the meeting.
"We need to have this talk because I wanted it for Spike's sake. It's already bad enough how that evil future Spike almost killed us, and for a good reason too! It hurts me to realize how much we've left him behind on lots of things, aside from Friendship missions, and I want to set things right between us and him. You should know that, as well as how Spike is precious to me, not just as a friend, but as family! And how honored I am to be his family! And i want him to know that!" Twilight said in a wholehearted voice.
Applejack stepped up to Twilight and tipped her hat and put a hoof on her shoulder "Twi, you know I'm a family mare, and I completely respect your family relationship with Spike, and I can't imagine losing a family member to an future that gone and having to fight them. I mean, we're all in one big family gathering right now aren't we?" Applejack said, getting some agreement from the girls amd princesses.
However, she saw the one small throne empty in the room "Well, most of us, that is. Though, no that I think about it, I guess we did sort of lost track of Spike now and then. Oh crab apples. Poor fellas had to go through this much hearbreak didn't he? Maybe that evil him had a point in trying to kill us." Applejack said
"Oh my, the poor thing." Fluttershy said in guilt with a whimper.
"I know I came a little harsh sometimes. And i get it, I can be a little insensitive, but I really do care about Spike, I just wish he knew that. Or how much I could take back all those things I've said to him, and all those pranks and tricks I did to him. I guess I deserve....no, I know I deserve that when that evil Spike attacked, he almost pulled off one of my wings for how much I was to him." Rainbow Dash said, with a sad frown on her face.
"I'M SORRY! I DIDN'T MEAN TO FORGET SPIKE! I DON'T KNOW WHY I KEEP FORGETTING HIM! I WAS DOING WHAT THE WRITERS WROTE ON THE SCRIPT! I DESERVED IT WHEN THAT MEANIE SPIKE DESTROYED MY CANNON AND QUOTED DAN PHANTOM!" Pinkie bawled in sadness, and was held by Fluttershy
"Shhhh, there, there." Fluttershy comforted Pinkie
Celestia then said in a heartfelt tone "I feel i also must add my dearest apologies for not having time to help him. He always has so much to do and we expected so much from him. I believe that what the future Spike did was an deserving penance to us all then when we put threats of Equestria in Tartarus."
"And how he defeated Sombra and even though he earned the title 'Spike, the Brave amd Glorious', the way we were to him made him feel so different. I think from how the way evil Spike was like Sombra, we don't deserve our titles, especially since he turned that way because of us and our own selfishness." Cadance said.
Rarity, being the last pony with an heartful apology for Spike had spoken up "I had never meant to come off as stuck-up and off-putting to Spikey-Wikey. In truth, I'm really happy to have he's around. Granted, I know he thinks highly of me, and yes I admit, sometimes I take advantage of his feelings to get some things done. But it's only because I enjoy hanging out with him, and I wanted us ti have done something together. Even for a dragon, he's very attentive, already to anticipate my needs, and he makes a great soundboard. But I guess I valued him too much. Especially after when that vile future version of him had a point when he almost killed us." Rarity said, drying a few tears in her eyes.
"And I do hope we could make amends with the poor little darling." Rarity finished
The ponies all gave solemn looks with sad nods.
"But I guess in the meantime, we should let him clear his head like he said he was. " Shining said
The ponies nodded and waited... but Twilight stood up
"Twilight? What are you doing?" Shining asked
"Standing around isn't gonna make Spike forgive us Shining! I know he needs his space, but we have to tell him how much he means to all of us. Are you all with me?" Twilight replied
The girls each nodded and followed, with the Princesses and Shining following
Outside of the castle, in the town of Ponyville. The CMC were walking around and gave each looms of hesitation as they walked to the castle.
"Do you think we should tell Twilight and the others about Spike?" Sweetie Belle asked
"I don't know, it's bad enough we each had a part to play for his future being this..." Scootaloo said, wondering of another word to finish her sentence
"Dark and Evil?" Apple Bloom said
"Yeah. And on top of it, it's like the whole Gabby Gums incident with us, but twisted." Sweetie Belle said
"Do you think we should tell them where he is? I mean, we have no right but I dunno if they learned their lesson." Apple Bloom said
As they continued to walk through town, they were left pondering what decision to make.
"Yeah, but when that happened, we apologized to everyone and forgave us when we said the truth." Scootaloo pointed out
As they continued, they heard a bunch of hoofsteps amd saw it was Twilight and her friends trying to find Spike.
"Spike?! Where are you?!" Twilight said as she flew along with Rainbow and Fluttershy

You and me both! 🙄
But it does make Spike into a Anti-Hero/Villain Revenge and Vengeance Story against the OOC Traitorous Main Six, Celestia, and others that abuse with him.
Who?
I mean, I doubt it.
Fluttershy, don’t jump into the conversation.
Can’t we just agree that it’s everyone’s fault and move on?
I mean, if you want the elements, go ahead.
Don’t you mean “we”, twilight?
Technically, they weren’t off topic.
Wait, now that I think about it, what was the point in him having a throne?
Without even reading the whole thing I knew it was pinkie.
Something tells me this is gonna fail.
How?
10616327
That's just the point. People might call it "abuse", but I just don't see it that way. To me, the brony community is just blowing things out of proportion
10616434
I don't call it abuse, there's a word for what I think is going on. my best definition is when they all of sudden forgot that Spike is a baby dragon, that he exists, or any other important details until certain things happen.
Another time when this happened is when it took about 2 seasons for Twilight to reveal to the cast that she had a brother. It hadn't come up or been mention until it was important to the plot.
From where Pinkie pie is standing, the writer's are evil.
They're the ones who did Spike Dirty.
Maybe the CMC's should hold off telling the main cast where Spike is. I don't think he's in a forgiving mood to be bothered.
10616734
to me it seems like the best time to go on a quest of self-reflection, maybe sequel bait, or time skip.
whatever happens, things are going to change possibly for the good of everyone involved.
10617129
I agree.
Was my previous comment um.. iffy?
10617129
I'm thinking of either the CMC telling them or not, and making a sequel to one of the seasons.
1. Season 7. Where the Pillars, Elements, Starlight and Sunburst banish the Pony of Shadows. But Dark Spike escapes capture and returns, forcing Spike and the others to stop his older self. Which proves a bit difficult when he is revealed to have some of the Pony of Shadows magic he stole
2. Season 9. Because of the timeline being fixed, Spike left Ponyville to the Dragonlands, leaving his friends heartbroken because of his departure. And eventually, Tirek (who was revived by future Starswirl as he fixed Spike's future to be less evil), Chrysalis and Cozy Glow. But they are each beaten by an now free Dark Spike, who uses his power to steal their magic and the Bewitching Bell to increase his power and attack, forcing Spike and all of Equestria to stop him from causing a tragic future

either way would be a showdown with dark Spike. Let's face it, Spike got lucky to pull that win out of his ass.
You can substitute Sombra for Tirek since Discord did agree to bring him back from the dead if his plan failed.
A way to power up dark shadow would be that equestria's alicorn amulet since he already has one from his own timeline.
During the showdown, instead of a deus ex machina it would be better to show Dark Spike the path he could've or still have since some of his own friends are still alive in his own equestria that's probably split into its own reality isuniverse which woudl explain why he's still around despite the current timeline changing.
With all the shots Pinkie has taken at it over the years, the fact that the fourth wall is still standing is nothing short of a miracle.

How would Luna be handled in there?
