The Ultimate Enemy 2: Return of Harmony

by LoganRyder

Chapter 1

Inside an unknown room, an cloaked unicorn with a long beard and grey coat was seen watching an green portal showing the town of Ponyville in Equestria. As he watched, he only said

"It seems you've done it again Twilight." The cloaked unicorn said

"What has my young self and his phony friends done this time?" An teen voice from the tube in the nearby pedestal said

"You can hear me?...Well if you must know-" The unicorn said, but was cut off

"Ever hear about sarcasm? And yes I have been able to hear. This thing is escape proof, not sound proof." The voice said in agitation.

"Yes I have, And I was talking to myself, i'm sure you know what that's like, don't you Spike?" The unicorn said

"Grrrrrr. I should have killed you when I had the chance Starswirl." Dark Spike said in dismay

"And yet you didn't, but are you sure this is the way you asked for?" Future Starswirl said

"What are you talking about?" Dark Spike asked again in dismay

"For starters, you were willing to save Flurry Heart after you killed both her parents and her aunts. You chose to spare the one creature you cared about by sending her back to Griffonstone and even chose to spare Ember when she was in harm after you killed Garble and his friends for how they treated you. You even let your pet Pee-Wee reunite with his family and Thorax rule the Changeling kingdom after you tortured Chrysalis." Future Starswirl said in clarification

"That was different, Flurry was still a baby and those three were the only ones that actually tried to care about me!" Dark Spike said in protest.

"And yet from that sentence, you show deep down you aren't a lost cause after all the things you've done. Only troubled and scared about why your friends treated you that way." Future Starswirl said in pity

"Scared of what?!" Dark Spike said in annoyance and spite to the pillar of Equestria.

"...Of the abyss, when the shadow that you face not only looks back. But also makes you take the step you may not ever come back from." Future Starswirl said cryptically

Future Starswirl then headed back to the portal as the tube Dark Spike was trapped in remained silent, likely to ponder the future Pillar's words.

Through the portal, showed the timeline that was occurring after Dark Spike's defeat.

In the current time in the land of Equestria, there was the castle of friendship owned by none other then Princess Twilight Sparkle. Inside the castle was the purple alicorn with her friend and number one assistant, as she began to look at him because he was glowing on his entire body.

---

"Ah, this was an interesting time." Future Starswirl said intrigued with a smile

"What?" Dark Spike said in confusion

"Oh come on, you know since you had to partake in this event once, where you even met her." Future Starswirl hinted to the dark teen dragon.

The moment the future pillar said this, Dark Spike immediately caught on and said "The time where I had to attend that Gauntlet of Fire trial and help Torch's daughter?"

"Indeed, and I must say, even though you had a chance to become the Dragon Lord, you instead gave it to Princess Ember since you wanted to stay in Ponyville."

Dark Spike then said out of anger and hatred "And that just gives me another reason to hate Princess Twilight and her friends now doesn't it?"

"Have you ever considered the fact that they wanted to keep you out of harms way when you were pushed away from them?." Future Starswirl said in response

"This says the pony that caused an innocent pony to not only turn into the Pony of Shadows but also cause him to fall into the darkness in the start before you banished him, willingly no less." Dark Spike responded to the future pillar in a tone of called out disgust

This affected Future Starswirl as he only gave a look of guilt as he looked down in the floor with a frown. The dark dragon had made a good point against him and knew that he too had some wrongs committed in the past.

Dark Spike then asked "Which raises another question, why are you trying so hard to save me? Even after all I've done?"

Future Starswirl only turned to face the tube the dark dragon was in and said

"Your right, and whenever I look at you everyday, I see Stygian, the very same pony that was my friend who I MYSELF and the other pillars betrayed before we cast him away wrongfully. And I see with you a similar soul that was going through so much neglect, abuse, betrayal and suffering to please your friends. And I realize that through this, I see the very mistake I made with him. Before you.....dealt with him and both your friends and mine" Future Starswirl admitted to the dark dragon

"So you admit it?" Dark Spike asked in a mocking tone

Future Starswirl only breathed a sigh and said "Yes, but I learned that I have to move on with that mistake like before, it's all I can do for now."

Dark Spike only remained silent as the future pillar turned around and looked through the portal showing his younger self not only teaming up with his former past friends and with Ember. The young dragon was using the abilities in the gem he ate prior before his dark self attacked. Even managing to subdue some teen dragons and Garble and his gang while Twilight and Rarity watched inside a rock disguise. The group eventually managed to reach the Bloodstone scepter, yet Spike gave the scepter to Ember (but not before embarrassing Garble).

"Ember? You?!" Ember's father Torch said in shock

"I know you think I couldn't do it, but I did." Ember replied to her father

"I expressionly told you not to do it, because you-" Torch ranted, but Ember stopped him

"I'm not big and strong, I know, but you know what?! I won anyway. So maybe it takes more then being big and strong to be a good Dragon Lord." Ember responded to her father

The future pillar only smiled at young Spike's noble act, but frowned as he knew that Dark Spike was now growing desperate to acheive his goal.

Comments

[10-x-the-hedgehog]

Wow no thumbs up or comments too bad I like this story you know I read fanfic about Danny phantom and spike yet and I never thought about putting them together like this although I was busy makeing spike an anti hero or the greatest foe the mane 6 ever fought

[TrainDude90S]

Off to a SUPERB start once again.

[LoganRyder]

Ps, since the battle took place before season 7 (where Dark Spike's transformation began) him and Spike still have a life link

[nightshroud96]

Didn't know the sequel is out already.
Keeping an eye on it.

Still really not liking how Luna was killed off in the future there..
Especially since it doesn't make much sense for Spike to kill her too given what I mentioned in a previous comment there..

[Dragovid_Davidas_2020]

I read the previous book and now reading the Sequel. This book is great. I can't wait for the next chapter.

REQUEST: Can you please make a EVIL FUTURE version of DISCORD who is tired of being BULLIED by HIS FRIENDS (in this sequel)?

Discord could say something like " It was easy for you to forgive Luna and she tried to kill you when she was a villain, while all I did was turning you against each other. And your all annoyed whenever I was around. But when Luna was around you all were like {Hey, it's Princess Luna.}"
