The CMC watched as the girls looked around for their dragon friend. With the ponies eventually seeing them and heading over.
"Girls, we need your help! " Twilight said in desperation
"Let me guess, you all want to find Spike?" Apple Bloom asked
"Yeah, have you 3 seen him?" Rainbow Dash asked
"Yeah." Scootaloo said
"But wait, how would you know what we were doing?" Rarity asked
This left the three fillies silent as the girls looked at them.
"Cause we're kinda looking for him too." Sweetie Belle said
"We saw him at the exit to Ponyville and teleport away." Scootaloo added
The ponies nodded and ran to the destination and began to search for the missing dragon
Spike was currently flying away from his former home as far as he could. He had to find a way to stop his home from being destroyed. Not only that, but to think that the source of it was the Princess of Friendship of all ponies. As he flew away, he shed tears in his eyes out of betrayal.
"And where are you off too?" An familiar voice said
Spike turned around and saw it was none other then Discord himself.
"What do you want Discord?" Spike asked
"I believe you already know from what I asked you." Discord replied
"I'm leaving Ponyville, what does it look like I'm doing?" Spike asked
"It looks like your leaving your friends." Discord said with a frown
Spike only winced at the last part and said in dismay "You don't know?"
"Know what?" Discord asked
Spike only looked down and began to tell Discord everything. The battle with Starlight, then with his evil self from the future, then how he managed to stop him from causing the destruction of Equestria itself as well as the destruction of his friends before he left them when he realized their selfishness caused his evil self to exist.
With a bewildered look, Discord asked
"So let me get this straight, Starlight Glimmer traveled back in time to stop the Rainboom, then put you in another timeline where an evil older you killed the Princesses, me and Fluttershy and her friends, then came here to make sure you become him by killing me and our world's Twilight and her friends and you stopped him with the help of the other world's version of Chrysalis and Starswirl? In fact that's why your flying in the sky. Then you left because of how the girls were treating you since they caused the evil you to turn evil from the beginning?" Discord said with need of clarification
Spike nodded as Discord only looked with a saddened look on his face, he then sighed and said
"Very well Spike, if you wish to make this choice, I respect your decision."
Spike only nodded and said "Goodbye Discord. Say bye to Big Mac for me."
Discord acknowledged his answer with a nod as the young drake flew away once more to an unknown location.
The ponies were heading over to the path that showed the exit to Ponyville. They ran with every ounce of breath in their lungs to see their dragon friend once more.
"Spike!?" Twilight called out as she flew in the air
"Spikey-Wikey? Where are you?!" Rarity shouted
The ponies continued to call out to their friend, until they noticed a familiar face, it was Discord, who only gave a blank look to them.
"Discord? What are you doing here?" Celestia asked him
The spirit of chaos only looked at the girls and said "I can ask you each the very same question."
"You know too huh?" Rainbow Dash said rhetorically
"Yes and seriously, I understand that you each liked to mess with him, but come on. Using him for your own selfish needs, nearly killing him, but hurting him to the point where he turns evil and destroys and kills the entire PLANET aside from Ponyville? Even I myself would never drop to that level of despicable." Discord said, his tone showing his clear disappointment at the girls
The girls looked down at the point he made, even though Discord had his moments and was neormally humorous and funny, it shifted to him being funny to outright dead serious, firm and in a way angry. Cadance stepped up to him and said
"Listen Discord, we know what we did was wrong and we want to make up for it. Have you seen Spike anywhere?"
Discord was left pondering his decision as to what choice he should make: Forgive the girls and help make amends or let Spike leave them and find an uncertain future to avoid the one that almost occured with his evil self. As Discord pondered his choice, he let out a breath of air and said
"He left Ponyville near the exit, but he didn't say where."
The ponies nodded and headed there, hoping that they had not missed him. Until Fluttershy saw that Discord was not joining them and asked him
"Aren't you coming Discord?"
Discord only looked at her, his eyes showed clear reluctance as he saw the begging eyes of not just her, but that of her friends who were desperately trying to apologize to their lost friend. Twilight even showed the tears in her her eyes at how she realized her selfishness and wanted to apologize to Spike.
Discord, seeing how much the predicament was affecting them said "Very well, but this changes nothing of what you did. Remember that."
The ponies nodded and ran to their destination.
Spike was flying in the sky and gave a emotionless expressiom as he flew thank to his recharged power, he pondered as to whether him leaving would change the future or worsen it instead. As he was contemplating hus decisions, he began to notice someone was behind him.
"Spike!" A familiar voice cried out to him
The baby dragon turned and saw the very last few people that he needed to see right now.
"Spike! There you are!" Twilight said in relief
"What. Are. YOU. Doing. Here?" Spike said in a tone of fury as he clenched his teeth.
Discord, your one to talk.
I suggest y’all be ready to fight, just in case.
Since Cadance is there, is Celestia and Luna there?
I really don't think Luna should get glared at by Discord due to I am pretty sure she didn't use Spike like that unlike the girls(and maybe Celestia).
I don't know if Cadance had done so at any point but I am sure Luna didn't use/mistreat Spike at any point.

Is this because of what Discord did in Season 9?! Well, this is BEFORE that. So, Discord can at least have the "Morale High Ground" against the abusive Main Six.
And I agree that Spike might even beat them up, just so they can finally leave him alone or something.
Oh, god this hit me in my feels
10652712
I mean, even before he’s shown to have that side of him.
That’s kinda debatable. We haven’t seen what the characters are like when fighting.
10652770
Didn't the show actually showed the Main Six fighting the Villains, and some other threats?
Twilight better turn back if she knows what's good for her.
10652774
I’m not 100% sure.
Six on one, but Pinkie's power is proportional to the comedy in a story. Therefore, she's not as powerful in realistic or dark settings. Especially ones that have strong fourth-wall protection. I doubt that Fluttershy has done anything wrong to Spike, seeing as she's mostly occupied with keeping the animals happy.
10652712
Apparently Cadance is there too.
Not sure if Luna and Celestia is there too.
Though wondering if Discord meant about just the Mane 6 there?
10652774
Then again, most of the time they relied on the whole "I automatically win because friendship!" rainbow lasers to truly stop a bad guy.

I feel like Spike shares some similarities with Luna too.
Both are "out of place"(Luna dealing with the 1000 years gap and Spike being a dragon among ponies).
Both are younger "siblings" and are often in the shadows of others.
Both gave in to jealous at some point and also both became something terrifying at some point.
Both also get left out a bunch too.
10653986
Dang!!! Haven't thought about that??!! And I have seen Dark/Villain Spike Stories, and I didn't notice this??!!
10653994
And how well Spike and Luna clicked so good in Sparkle's Seven.
How they teamed up like that was amazing.
That and what I mentioned before pretty much caused me to ship those two so good

Well, their is "Dragon's Requiem" from a long time ago. Where Spike is Framed by a Murder. And Betrayed by the OOC Main Six, Celestia, and mostly the Pony Population. :facehoof
Except Luna believe his innocence. Then, Spike turn Dark, got Dark/Shadow Magic Powers. Form a Coup with Luna as Nightmare Moon. While, the Main Six themselves are remorseful when they have learn the truth. But it was too late!!! And Spike kill each of them, one by one. But, Pinkie Pie was spared. Because, she is the first one that immediately went to Spike, and ask forgiveness. And Spike reluctantly forgive her, and let her join his Dark Cause.
And it ends with Spike finishing off Celestia. And he and Nightmare Moon rule Equestria with a Iron Fist. And the reason I say these "Spoilers" is because it was finished a long time ago. And the Author (Crisis Novastar ) for some reason deleted it??!!
But, I think his Co-Author ( NineTailBeastBall) is making a Rewrite/Reboot Story of it.
10654104
Is there a link to the rebooted story?
10654146
But, I saw you from before? You commented on it back in July of last year?
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/466785/nightmare-of-a-dragon
See for yourself in the Comment Section of it.
10654149
Oh yeah.
I knew it sounded so familiar..
I just checked myself too.
Memory can be so iffy at times.
its almost like spike didn't want to really leave with his slow ass flying. I mean everyone easily caught up to him within a jump cut.
Then again, he did fight an alternate version of him, jet lag must be kicking in along with emotional problems.
Bio for Dark Spike on chapter 9
Man i like this it dark and edgy the way i like how some people can just make cute and fun shows for kids into dark and semi realistic story and keep going and please finish this story it has so much potential

I don't think he got his wings yet considering in the show he didn't get them till much later. So no flying yet.
