Nightmares

"Why am I in Equestria?" Spike looks around and sees fires everywhere. "Where are my friends? Wendy! Carla! Lucy! Erza! ANYBODY!"

"Hello, Spike," Midnight Sparkle arrives while dragging the lifeless body of Empress Ember.

"NOOOOOOO!" Spike falls to his knees.

"You wish to stop seeing the carnage?" Midnight Sparkle asks.

Spike looks around and sees the fall of Canterlot. It falls from the mountainside while many ponies scream in agony. Many dragons fall from the skies as well as changelings. Lord Tirek absorbs the magic of the changelings into his power before stomping on its heads. Griffins are torn apart by what appears to be metallic magic soldiers.

"Fairy Dragon!" Spike conjures his breath attack.

"Futile," Midnight Sparkle flies and grabs Spike's throat, choking him a bit until Spike powers down. "I don't wish to bring your physical harm. For all of this to stop, I want you to come back to me."

Spike is teary from the choking. He's losing oxygen. Midnight drops and kicks Spike; he crashes into several trees from the impact.

Spike hears the laughter of King Sombra; his crystals rise from the ground, impaling his wings. Spike wails from the pain.

"Allow me," King Sombra tears off Spike's wings with his magic.

Spike falls to the ground. He looks up and sees his friends going after Lord Tirek. "Don't!" Spike warns.

"Time to watch them die, and we'll consume their magic power. There's nothing you can do to stop the inevitable, Spike!" Midnight says.

Lord Tirek unleashes his magic power on every creature, incinerating them in the process. Spike hears their deathly wails before they get silent.

"Now, you know why being selfish will lead to your doom, Spike. Come back to me, and you'll never have to worry about them ever again."

"I have stowaways," Lord Tirek tosses the body of Wendy Marvell, Erza, Lucy, Gray, Natsu, Happy, Carla, and many members of the Fairy Tail Guild. All of them are lifeless and drained of magic energy.

"Nooooooooooooooooooo!" Spike cries and tries to wake them up.

Midnight Sparkle, Lord Tirek, and King Sombra corner Spike; they unleash their power on Spike, rendering him weak while erasing his mind in the process.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" Spike feels the wrath of the trio. In the background, a young demonic pegasus and tall white creature with a staff laughing at his misery.

"Spike! Wake up!" Wendy is next to Spike in the tent. Lucy and Erza try to wake him up.

"What the hell is wrong with Fairy Dragon?" Gajeel comes into the tent to check on Spike.

It's 2:30 in the morning. It's been two days since Spike saw the image of Midnight Sparkle during their training. Spike breathes heavily from the nightmare. It's getting worse.

"Dude, are you okay?" Romeo asks Spike.

Spike looks distraught, which worries everyone around him. His eyes and horrid expression say it all.

"It's his nightmares, Romeo," Lucy said. "It's getting worse."

"Okay, enough with the silent treatment, Fairy Dragon. You need to speak up," Gajeel said.

Spike deeply sighs. "Okay," Spike takes a deep breath. "My nightmares started right after the day Erza and I sent Midnight Sparkle back to Equestria. It starts as a nightmare, Midnight taking the lives of those I cherish at first. Then, it escalates too quickly. Midnight building her guild and army after taking notes of Tartaros."

"That doesn't sound good," Gajeel imagines the terrors his brother sees.

"I see two familiar faces alongside Midnight Sparkle. King Sombra and Lord Tirek."

"Mind explaining who those two are?" Erza asks to take note.

"King Sombra is a Shadow King of Darkness. He specializes in fear, control, and crystals. He once ruled the Crystal Empire before going away for a thousand years, and I helped retrieve the Crystal Heart to ignite the Crystal Empire's defense of love and unity. If I have to describe who Lord Tirek is, he's a living embodiment of the Magic Council's Face with a grotesque red demonic appearance."

"Whoa," Everyone in the tent said in shock.

"Each nightmare got worse, like a build-up for revenge. I want to say my dreams are warnings. If I ignore them long enough, it may be too late to counter. However, I'm not sure. Like anything else, it's dreams. They have a nasty turn once in a while."

"Yea, but not consistent as yours," Lucy said.

"I'll be back," Spike leaves the tent.

"Where are you going?" Wendy asks.

"There's someone I need to talk to," Spike uses his fire breath and teleports away.

"I wonder where he's going," Romeo said. He, like everyone else, wonders who Spike wishes to speak.

Spike arrives at Tenrou Island. He hears the waves coming onto the sandy beaches; he looks at the towering tree of the island. Spike flaps his wings and takes off.

Natsu is asleep with Happy on the island when he wakes up after feeling Spike's magic power. Happy wakes up after feeling Natsu getting up.

"Hey, something wrong, Natsu?" Happy asks while yawning in the process.

"Spike is here on Tenrou Island. As to why, I'm going to find out," Natsu gets up and uses his nose to find Spike. Happy gets up and follows Natsu.

Spike spends half an hour flying and notices something sticking out at the corner of his eye. He flies to what appears to be a tombstone.

"So, this is Mavis' grave; it took me a bit over seven years to find it," Spike remembers the S-Class Trials like it was yesterday. He and Panther Lily were flying right before Carla came to the island and questioned Mest's involvement with Fairy Tail.

"Any reason why Spike will be here on the island, Natsu?" Happy asks Natsu.

"I'm clueless, so I'm going to find out," Natsu continues to follow his nose.

"Master Mavis, I'm not sure if you can hear me. I haven't seen you in a while. I was wondering; if you have a few minutes to talk with me about something that's been bothering me."

"What seems to be the problem, Seventh Master?" Mavis Vermillion is behind Spike. Spike turns to her. "You're here to ask about advice on being a Master of the Guild?"

"No," Spike shakes his head. "It's something else. Entirely."

"I'm all ears. What seems to be the problem?"

Natsu and Happy are behind a tree that is above Mavis' grave. They see Spike and Mavis talking.

"It's my nightmares. It's getting worse by the day, ever since Erza and I sent Midnight Sparkle back to Equestria. You see," Spike explains each nightmare he has to Mavis Vermillion and how Midnight Sparkle has increased her power and built a guild of her own. The members are former villains that laid waste in Equestria in some way. Two new characters entered his dream, and he had never seen them before. The explanation takes an hour, including the grueling details of decay and destruction across the land. "As you know or figured out by now, I don't have Fairy Rage. He sacrificed himself to resurrect Erza."

After processing the information Spike shared, Mavis Vermillion knows what Spike's dreams represent.

"Spike. Your dreams are a warning of the possible future if you ignore it."

"I was afraid that may be the case," Spike sighs and holds his face.

"What do you think you should do?" Mavis asks Spike.

"It's clear to me what I need to do. I can't ignore the signs. I need to take action. I need to return to Equestria and finish what I couldn't. Ending Midnight's reign of terror."

"I would advise you to bring friends, Spike. You can't go on this journey alone."

"Sign us up!" Natsu and Happy wave and hop down after hearing the two talk for a while.

"Natsu, Happy?" What are you two doing here?" Spike is happy to see the two again.

"Out here doing some intense training. We heard that you suffered from nightmares," Natsu said.

"Yea, and you needed some counseling," Happy noted.

Spike takes a deep breath. He turns to Mavis Vermillion.

"I wish you luck, Seventh Master," Mavis Vermillion said.

"WHAAAAAAAAAT!?" Natsu and Happy are confused and shocked.

"Oh, that's right. You two didn't hear the announcement. Long story short, Makarov wanted to disband the guild, but I reminded him he couldn't due to the promise he made to Celestia. So, Makarov renounced his entitlement as Master of the Guild and anointed me as Seventh Master of the Fairy Tail Guild. Don't worry. You don't have to call me Master. Call me Spike, Fairy Dragon, the works of how you used to call me."

"Wow.., you saved the guild, Spike!" Happy hugs Spike, thanking him in the process.

"So, when do we go to this Equestria World?" Natsu asks, wanting to fight Midnight Sparkle. It can help him improve his magic power.

"In a few hours. I need to construct a team to come with me to Equestria."

"Perfect! Let's go back to our campsite and pack up Happy!"

"Aye, Sir!" Happy follows Natsu to the campsite.

Spike turns to Mavis. "Mavis, there's one more thing I need to ask of you."

"Sure, what is it?"

"It's a promise I made to my Uncle Zirconis. With your permission, I ask to use the island when the time comes."

Mavis Vermillion smiles. "Sure, Spike. As long as things don't become complicated."

"Thank you," Spike nods in honor of the First Master. His goal is to bring the dragons of Equestria back to Earth Land.
