Cadence was busy writing in a small diary of hers as it was night time.

"And remember Cadence, no matter what happens, always remember that you'll love Shining Armor forever." What she failed to notice was a black mist outside her room.

As she slept next to her husband, Shining Armor, the dark mist entered her mind, corrupting her dream!

"Wh-what the?!"

"Sorry honey, but I'm dumping you for my sister!" Said Shining Armor.

"Yeaaaah...you actually sucked as a foalsitter." Said Twilight.

"Don't know that romance is dead darling?" Said Rarity as a bunch of stallions were carrying her. "Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be having a lustful gang bang with all these stallions."

"Oh, wait for me, I'll join you!" Said Shining Armor!"

"No! This can't be happening!" Cadence shouted. That's when...Cadence found herself, tied to a stake!

"Fuck your love!"

"Crystal Princess my flank!"

"Burn the pathetic princess!" Ordered King Sombra!

Ponies all began to throw torches on the wood pile near her as she tried to break free.

Cadence shrieked in horrific pain!

"Now, now there Cadence, you wont die alone!" Said Sombra.

"Indeed! Just so you'll still be happy in the afterlife, here! We'll throw in the freshly cut off hearts of Celestia & Luna into the fire!" Said Tirek.

Cadence screamed even louder as the two organs roasted near her hooves,

'Love is starting to fade from everyone's hearts, only replacing it with lust!' A voice whispered into her ear. 'I can help you!'

Then the dark mist began wrapping multiple rings around her body!

"NO! NOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Shining Armor heard this in the awake world!

"Cadence? Are you okay honey?! Wake-up!"

Cadence's form thrashed around as her body began to change. Her coat becoming a dark pink, her cutie mark, going from a light blue heart to a ruby red heart, the colors of her mane became darker as well.

Her eyes opened as the pupil became slitted and she seemed to grow taller.

"H...honey?"

Her head shot towards Shining Armor's direction. "Silly Shining Armor, I'm not your honey anymore, which means you're not my husband anymore! Which means..." Then she fire a huge beam! "BE GONE!!!" it then hit Shining Armor, sending him out of the the castle.

"Er..." Shining Armor got-up and then looked-up to see that Cadence threw down her ring!

"Why don't you marry Twilight? I know how much you truly love each other! Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Shining stared at Cadence in confusion and heart brake as it seemed like storm clouds were moving as she let out a dark laugh.

"G-gotta tell Twilight & the others." 'Don't know why I'm not going to Celestia & Luna 1st, but hey, it's Twily, she can do it!'nHe rushed off to the station so he could get a train to Ponyville.

After he alerted Twilight & friends, they were off!

"Wait Twilight!"

"What Spike?"

"Let me come with you! I'm their hero! I gotta protect them!" Spike said with a determined face.

"Spike, we're dealing with Cadence who is practically Nightmare Moon!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash.

"I don't care! I am their hero! I will save them, or die trying!" To make his point clear, he climbed on Twilight's back and tied himself down so she couldn't get him off.

"Spike! stay here!" Said Applejack.

"Come-on squirt, you can't do this, we can!" Said Rainbow Dash.

"Pretty please with cherries on top?" Asked Fluttershy & Pinkie Pie.

"Wont you do it for moi?" Asked Rarity.

"..."

"Sorry everyone, but...dragon pride is unbeatable." Said Twilight.

"Fine, but if he dies, then it aint our fault!" Rainbow Dash spoke for all 5.

Spike smiled as they and Shining took a train to the Crystal Empire. Despite the ridiculous position, Spike thought hard about his resolve & conviction to do this!

As they departed the train, they looked ahead and saw storm clouds with lightning surrounding the kingdom.

"Are you sure you aren't coming with us BBBFF?"

"I'm sure, Cadence broke my heart & a divorce is final!" Then as the train began to depart..."...Good luck you 7."

"Any ideas to stop her?" asked AJ.

"We remind her what love truly is!"

"Good answer." Rainbow Dash replied.

Then, as they entered the Empire...

"What in the?" All 7 went.

The streets were lined with porn video shops, strip clubs, whores as far as the eye can see...

"Oh my." Fluttershy blushed and tried to hide behind Pinkie who looked conflicted between which place to check out first.

"Hey baby, want to have some fun with the T.J.?" Asked the Stallion named T.J. before he was K.O'd by Rainbow Dash.

"Ooh, with your silky white coat, you'd be perfect for my strip club! What do you say, I'm hiring?" Asked a pimp stallion before getting knocked out by Applejack.

"This place is horrible!" cried out Twilight with disgust.

"Let's focus on defeating Nightmare Heart Twilight." Spike told her.

"Right!"

Then, as they made it to the front doors of the castle, Spike's statue had a few additions to it, namely down in the pelvic area.

"Now that's just being rude to Spikey-Wikey!" cried out Rarity covering her eyes.

"Dunno, betcha I can fit the hole thing down my plo..."

"PINKIE!!!" Everyone shouted.

They marched past the statue and up to the stairs. The group stopped at Cadence's bedroom. The one she shared with Shining Armor before she became Nightmare Heart.

"Twilight, what are we stopping here for?"

"Cadence once told me after she got married, that she always concludes her diary entries with her to never forget that she loves Shining Armor!"

"That's weird." Said Fluttershy.

"It's a sister thing, you'd understand if you had one." Said Pinkie Pie.

"Pinkie, not the best time to burn ponies today!" Spike said while looking sternly at her.

Twilight's horn lit up before blowing the door down.

"WHAT THE?!" All 7 were met with stallions all swarming Nightmare Heart before Twilight & Spike shot them all down!

"Aww...you ruined all my playmates, emphasis on mates!"

"What's gotten into you Cadence?!" exclaimed Twilight.

"Lots and lots of white stuff! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Okay, that's it! I don't care Twilight, I'm gonna waste thi..."

"No Rainbow Dash! Cadence, please!" Then Twilight levitated Cadence's diary off the nightstand and then showed her. "Look, you wrote this! No matter what happens, you'll always love Shining Armor."

"Oh please, romance is dead! There is no such thing as love in this world! What does a stallion want from us mares anyway? Hormone induced sex, that's what!"

"That's a load of bull and you know it!" called Spike.

That's when Nightmare Heart saw Spike, the strangely still respected hero of the Crystal Empire. "Oh? Am I wrong little hormone boy?"

"Hey! I am not controlled by my hormones!"

"Then tell me, what exactly do you want from Rarity besides her good looks?"

Spike blushed before shaking his head. "At least I haven' given up love, what's your excuse?!"

"The end of love is coming, Is saw it! This world will be corrupted by hate, and replace love with lust! I know it! You may be able to quell the hatred of one city, maybe even an entire kingdom, but what about the whole world? The hate will just flow right back in!"

"Time to kick some flank!" growled Applejack.

AJ & Pinkie began the assault, but were blasted away by Nightmare Heart!

*Moan* "What? W-what did you do to me?" Asked a heavily breathing AJ.

"All of a sudden I feel so hot & bothered!"

"You like? My horny ray level 1 makes you incredibly horny, unable to do anything until you get some!"

"Take this!" Rainbow Dash picked up a couch and chucked it at the alicorn. It was then sliced in half and then followed up by her horny ray!

"Gah! *Moan!* H-hey! Pinkie, AJ, y-you 2 want some Skittles?"

"Hell yeah!" they cried in glee.

"Pinkie, Dash, AJ! Oh my!" It was too much for Fluttershy & in her flustered state, let her guard down, resulting in her getting hit with the horny beam as well!

"Aw yeah, my one lesbian fantasy shall finally be fulfilled!" Said Rainbow Dash.

Rarity, Twilight, and Spike watched in disbelief as their four friends became nothing more than horny mares.

"Let's spice things up, oh boys?"

Then the stallions all joined in.

"Get off of them!" Said Rarity, as she used her magic to pull razor sharp shards out of the crystal walls, but Nightmare Heart countered by taking control of the shards and crushing them! That's when Nightmare Heart then struck Rarity with the horny beam!

That's when Nightmare Heart pulled a chunk out of her crystal ceiling and chucked it at Twilight, who's force field couldn't take the force of the boulder's impact, causing her to fly backwards and getting pinned to the wall, a literal definition of stuck between a rock and a hard place!

"Girls!"

"Now then hero, watch as your precious Rarity becomes nothing more than a whore!" Nightmare Heart said as she levitated the stallions off of Pinkie, AJ, Fluttershy, and RD.

"Wait, what are you gonna..."

Then she levitated the stallions into a corner, then levitated Rarity over them.

"Oh, booooooys, mind assisting a lady?" Was the last words she spoke before Nightmare Heart dropped her into them.

Spike gulped in fear as all his friends were now defeated and he was left alone.

"All big talk huh? Nothing to back up your words?"

Spike took a step back as Nightmare Heart came closer.

"Please, I-I'll do anything! Just spare me & my friends!"

"Oh really?" asked Nightmare Heart.

"Y-yes! Just let us go!"

"Okay Spike, since you feel like being such a brave hero...I have a way to stop the nightmare."

"You do?"

"Yeah, I have 2 days before I'm fully consumed to give me a choice if this is what I truly want. And if I get married, then the nightmare will leave."

"So, you feel like remarrying Shining Armor?"

"Ha! No!" she bellowed.

"Then...who?"
"Let's see...the hero of a glorious empire, marrying the princess of said empire, think you can figure it out?"

Spike then put the pieces together. "Me?"

"Yes, you! So how 'bout it? Marry me, or watch your friends tied-up while a sign saying free is pointed to their plots, or worse!"

"Ok ok! But you have to let them go first!"

"Very well." Then with a clap of her hind hooves, freed the 5 from her spell, and levitated the boulder off of Twilight Sparkle.

"Now come-on hero, let's go save me from me."

Later, after all of the preparations were set, Spike stood at the altar, really worried.

"You sure you wanna go through with this? I mean, we can jump her while she's not looking." Whispered Twilight.

"No, this empire is based on love. We gotta show Cadence that love can still work!"

"What if she's lying?"

"If she reveals to be lying, then you can jump her."

"Got it." spoke Twilight as the music started playing.

'Sorry about this big bro!' Spike thought in his head.

Nightmare Heart entered the hall with a very slutty wedding dress. All 7 face palmed with an "of course" following after as all the perverted stallions in the seats attempted to take pictures before their girlfriends & wives slapped the cameras out of their hooves, then slapped them! She stood beside him as the priestess stood in front of them.

So, after the vows were said, the priestess's ramblings were over, it was finally time...

"So, any reason why these 2 shouldn't be wed, speak now, or forever hold your breath, and only for those who aren't perverted and single." No one spoke up. "Then, with the power invested in me I now pronounce you mare & drake, you may now kiss the bride, or if you want, have sex with her for everyone's enjoyment!" She said as a bed appeared from out of the floor.

"The bed won't be necessary." Spike said. He then gulped and then kissed her. As he pulled back...

"*snicker!*"

"Huh?"

"Muahahahahahahahaha!"

"She lied! Get her!" Rainbow Dash said before all 6 began springing into action until suddenly they were trapped in a magical cube!

"I lied you moronic ding dong! Ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Wait, I feel weird." groaned Spike who saw his claws were starting to get darker in color. And like that, Spike fell asleep.

An unspecified time later...

A deep growl could be heard as he began to wake up.

Spike found himself in a room, on a bed. He also saw his body was much bigger than before.

'Oh-no, my greed...'

He tried to look at his claws but couldn't as his claws and feet were stuck.

'Uh oh.'

"Finally you're awake! I wanted to make sure you were awake as we consummated!"

He turned and saw nightmare Heart with a grin on her face.

"Heeeeey daaaarling."

"You liar! Where are my friends?"

"Oh, I let them go." she shrugged.

"What?"

"After all, a dark dragon king as my husband is much better than a unicorn stallion."

"Excuse me?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Then she pulled out a mirror and showed Spike had gone from purple, to black. "And you know what they say, once you go black, you can never go back."

Spike stared at his reflection in shock as his maw began to grin in delight.

"Ooh, feeling happy are you?" Her answer came from Spike reaching over and pulling her onto his stomach. "So, ready to consummate?"

"Eeyup!"

"Big Mac? What are you doing here?"

"He's here to record our sex tape."

"Oh, alright then."

So after that, Spike & Nightmare Heart ruled the Crystal Empire with a lusty fist & hoof.
