By sheer chance, Hitch discovers that Sparky's egg came with a note. Upon reading it, he discovers a familiar name as the author of the note: Spike.
Once informed of this discovery, Sunny realizes that Spike must know what happened to Equestria that caused the pony tribes to become divided. She subsequently recruits all of her friends to join her on a journey to see the old dragon.
When the five mares finally do meet with Spike, they'll be surprised to learn his reason behind sending Sparky to Maretime Bay. And Spike will shed light on how the utopia Princess Twilight created came undone.

If only the message has not been caught off like that about the name they would have be more prepared but unfortunately they don't know Misty's involvement
Sparky
Yeah that's probably her tactic as well and pretty much how Pinkie Pie would do as well except for she has no magic but she has other ways to make somebody talk
That must be really hard for Spike to go through something like this seeing his friends gone one by one and he's still alive really hurts 😔
I mean it also begs the question about Celestia and Luna were they still the same ponies size before they grew as well to look professional or whatever but that kind of raised the question about Cadence but then again there are other ponies who kind of look a little taller like fleur de lis again I don't know how that works
I guess that was a slip up that Misty did back in the slumber party but nobody never took it to serious so basically she got away Scott free with that one but it does make sense that she might of slip off her name I'm not really sure I need to see this episode again
Well I got to say this was a pretty interesting one and it kind of makes sense to be honest with you but anyway Sparky was still making a mess of hitches stuff until he discovered a letter and apparently it was from Spike which he recognized that name and he told Sunny about the note that he found and she was pretty excited to see this and hopefully the crystals can tell them where to find his location if he's still alive but it looks like the crystals did send out a location so sunny and her friends decided to go the direction it's pointing out and once they made it there they thought the cave was pretty abandoned but thanks to Izzy's quick thinking it looks like Spike finally showed himself and yeah we could imagine how big he is even in a thousand years and sunny was pretty excited to meet him but then he told him about the history of what happened to Twilight and the magic Vanishing and even a threat of Equestria name Opaline was the one who manipulated everybody and unfortunately due to her stunt the three tribes have split and including the creatures have distant from each other and Twilight had to use every amount of magic to see the magic inside of it with her inside and Spike thought that he have given up hope until during the event of the new generation the magic finally came back and thinking that there's still hope for the future and he entrust sunny and her friends to do this keep the memories of Twilight What She Done and everything and I'm sure they will I got to say this was a pretty nice story keep up the good work
The only thing that should've been added is for Spike asking them to make sure Sparky is safe, because he said Opaline is a fire alicorn and she wants Sparky's fire to be more powerful, and if she gets it, she'll be almost unstoppable. Otherwise, everything else is fine.
Good
Getting Sunset Shimmer vibes from Opaline-
A very well developed story.

To be fair, this IS an alternate universe. Another AU aspect could be that Misty DID let the name slip.
11493813
Yeah, but as dragons have much longer life spans than most ponies, it IS almost unavoidable.
11493858
Possibly. Yeah, I could see her being similar to Sunset, but worse.
11493983
I know but it still doesn't make it less hurt
Still a wholesome story which i enjoyed reading.
Thank you.
Intriguing story. I enjoyed it 😁
Hey there. Thanks very much for getting this one-shot up. Really appreciate the work that went into the head canon regarding Opaline and the crystals as well as thinking to pre-emptively make this AU. Odds are, this will probably be a better explanation than the actual show will do. And, yeah, Twilight pouring so much into the Crystals that she became one with them makes more sense than it should.
As was said by another reviewer, it might have made sense for Spike to provide some extra warning about Opaline about how they need to keep Sparky and his dragon fire away from her. But that's the only (very minor) issue with what was otherwise a rather good short story.
Good story, I enjoyed the end of G4 well enough, but the Celestia 2.0 thing was a bit of an eyeroll for me.
As to G5, I can pray that I'm wrong, but I'm going to guess that they're going to give Opaline some sort of sob story and a hug and song style redemption like they did with Starlight Glimmer. No hate to Glimmy as a character, she was IMO one of the darkest of all the villains the girls came across. She had a LOT going for her and then they tried to wrap things up with a nice pretty (child friendly) bow which was a mistake.
The idea of Spike losing Twilight all of a sudden and then spending 100s of years alone with naught but his memories is a big oof in the feels.
What's a Fire Alicorn?
11494443 I don't know, but I know that's what Opaline is.

Guess their natural powers are Fire Magic.
Such as Dragon Fire
If only Gen 5 would have Spike show up.
