Author's note
All right, this fic has two more chapters to go and I can finally get it done officially. This is going to be great, so move on!

 

Chapter 8: The Final Operation

 

Rainbow sighs as she and Spike are nearby the castle. They're back but do they even want to come back here? They failed Twilight and are big fugitives. Who will want them anyway?

Inside the guest room at the moment, Rarity was getting ready for bed as she is singing.

 

Rarity: He has loosed the fateful lightning
Of his terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
Da-aa da da da da da.

 

Glory, glory hallelujah

 

The two heard the singing and peeks in through the window. They saw Rarity singing as Soarin' was putting on a shirt himself.

 

Glory, glory, hallelujah

 

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" Rainbow exclaims excitedly upon seeing Soarin’, jumping up and appears to have her wings soaring like mad.

"Rainbow? What's gotten into you?" Spike ask his former victim in bewilderment.

"It's Soarin'...Oh, I knew that he'd come."

"Soarin'?"

"Twilight's so-called fiancee. Well...not for long if I have anything to say about it." Rainbow said with a mischievous look on her face as she glances at Soarin'. That hunk deserves someone other than that egghead!

"Good point...and that Unicorn looks really pretty." Spike said happily upon glancing at Rarity. "Such a beautiful mare."

"That's your choice. Me, I prefer the handsome, friendly-looking jock."

"But it would be wrong of us to just take them and have our way with them, as tempting as that is."

"How about we just knock on their doors and invite them for an evening out with an option to take it further if THEY wish to take it further?" Rainbow ask Spike thoughtfully. After all, it's best to ask than to just kidnap the two, right?

"Sounds good to me." Spike said with an excited smile on his face. Rarity will be his...

If anyone were to be near the guest room or the castle itself at this point, they would've heard a loud shriek of a familiar white unicorn screaming into the night....

 

----------

 

The mob continues their search for the monsters, they have to be here somewhere.

"Uh, Skipper? Shouldn't we just go to the castle?" Private ask Skipper puzzled. "I mean, that's where the monsters' creators are at."

"Yes, but we must take down those monsters first!" Skipper exclaims sternly to Private. "It's in the monsters rule book."

"And if we don't find them in the countryside, then we go to the castle and invade." Kowalski said in agreement while Rico grunts while nodding a bit.

A dog named Winona is leading one half of the mob through the other bridge. It won't be long now until Spike and Rainbow are caught.

 

------------

 

At this moment, Spike and Rainbow are carrying Rarity and Soarin' through the forest, the last two are unconscious. The undead mare groans out, "Okay, what happened to just inviting them?"

"I just telling ya. The white unicorn mare saw a mouse, she screams and jumps into Soarin', knocking both of them out." Spike reminds Rainbow of what really happened that caused Rarity and Soarin' to fell unconscious earlier. "We will just take them to another place so we can wait for them to wake up."

"And we couldn't just stay at the castle for that?"

"And let the mob find us? Not a chance!" Spike hears the dogs barking from somewhere in the forest. "Uh oh. We got to get out of here, fast."

The two monsters with the unconscious ones move their way through the forest. They got to find a place to hide...and fast!

 

----------------

 

The mob continues their search throughout the forest. Spike and Rainbow must be in here somewhere. Trixie wasn't watching where she was going as the mare hits into a tree by accident.

"Ouch! Trixie meant to do that." Trixie groans out, feeling her forehead as the unicorn moves on her way.

 

-----------

 

In some sort of stable in the forest, Rarity and Soarin' soon begins to wake up while their saviors, so to speak, wait for them to do so. The mare groans out, "Where...where am I?"

"Anywhere but the castle." Soarin' groans as he feels his head. "Honestly, Rarity? Freaking out over a mouse?"

"I can't help it! Mice freaks me out easily!"

"Hi there." Spike said, giving a wave to Rarity. The mare gasped upon seeing him while Soarin' looks astounded as he saw Rainbow for the first time ever.

"Hey, what's up?" Rainbow ask with a smile to Soarin', getting rather...interesting so to speak.

"Where are we? Who are you?" Rarity ask Spike in concern.

"Name's Spike...and this...is Rainbow Dash." Spike said with a smile as he introduce himself and Rainbow to the two ponies that they brought here.

"What's up," Rainbow exclaims, giving a salute to the two.

Soarin' gulped in concern, "What do you want with us?"

"Oh...nothing much than...some...fun." Spike said, giving a lustful look to Rarity, much to her surprise and concern.

"Fun? What do you mean?" Rarity ask Spike a bit meekly.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, Spike!" Rainbow exclaims as she notices Spike is trying to undress himself, causing her to stop. "Remember what we agree on? We take this slowly and not cut to the chase."

"Oh, sorry, sorry, my bad. I guess when you see a unicorn this beautiful, you got to want to do so, you know?" Spike ask with a chuckle towards Rarity, making her blush a bit.

"Err, look, I am not scared of you. How much do you want?" Rarity ask Spike meekly, trying to sound brave but is having trouble doing so. "My parents are very rich, you could have the whole world at your claws! I must be back at 11:30. I'm expecting a very important call."

"Hey, whoa, whoa. Listen, I think we got off at the wrong foot here! You both knocked each other out, we brought you here..."

"Instead of waiting at the castle because of a mob chasing us, what are we gonna do?" Rainbow remarks with a shrug, pointing out why the two didn't wait for Rarity and Soarin' to wake up back at the castle.

"So how about we try again, okay?" Spike ask Rarity with a smile, wanting to start all over again.

"Well, sure, I guess." Rarity said, calming down a bit. At least one of these two is polite enough to want to start all over.

"What do you want?" Soarin' ask Rainbow as to what she wants as the mare got close to him.

"Well, I don't want to do anything you don't want me to do, but I was planning to inviting you to dinner and a show." Rainbow said with a smile to the stallion, making him blush a bit. "If the answer is no, however, I'll respect your decision and leave you alone for the time being."

"Well, that's awfully decent of you."

"What are you doing, Soarin'? You're an engaged stallion." Rarity said, shocked and disbelief that Soarin' would jump in to a date with Rainbow when he is still engaged to Twilight!

"Hey, that doesn't mean he can't just enjoy the company of a friend who just happens to be female." Spike said to Rarity as he walks on over to her.

"Good point. And just do YOU want to do?"

"Something similar to what Rainbow wishes to do with Soarin', but with YOU. And, if it goes beyond that, I will make sure it's only because you are completely willing."

Rarity giggles happily as she said to Spike, "As Soarin' said to Rainbow, that's awfully decent of you."

 

Sometime later...

 

The couples came back to the barn sometime later, laughing. They had a great time in whatever it is that they were doing.

"That was a great dinner and a wonderful movie." Soarin' said to Rainbow with a smile.

"Agreed. Thank you both for the wonderful evening." Rainbow said to Soarin', nuzzling him a bit. Wow, she is awesome...for a dead mare.

"You're quite welcome, but there's nothing saying the evening has to be over just yet, unless you want it to be." Spike said to Rarity with a sly smirk on his face.

"However, if you DO wish to take it further, we know of a nice secluded place large enough to comfortably house four."

"Just keep in mind, we did NOT kidnap you, we INVITED you."

"And we will NOT take this ANY further than YOU want us to take it." Rainbow said to Soarin' with a nod of excitement.

"I assume you are making sure we remember that so that, if somebody questions you, AND US, later, neither of you will be railroaded for anything heinous." Rarity said with a nod, she actually thought that was gave.

"Wait, what are we saying? This is large enough." Spike said as he lay Rarity down onto the hay. "Heh heh heh..."

"Spike, what did you say? Speak, come on, speak; Wait, what are you doing?" Rarity ask the Dragon. She notices Spike giving out a seductive grin. It didn't take long for the white unicorn to figure out what he's about to do. "Oh my Herd! Are you serious?"

"You bet your flank I am!" Spike exclaims with a mischievous grin.

"I'm...I..." Rarity said with a gulp. She saw something...amusing below Spike, causing her to blush wildly. "Woof! So...is it true what they say about you Dragons?"

"I guess...you're about to find out." Spike remarks to Rarity who gulped as the Dragon laid down with her.

"Wait! I'm engaged, really! And...well, I wanted to...it was never in my intention to..."

Rarity moans and groans with Spike having his way with her...and the happy unicorn begins to sing.

 

Rarity: Ooooh, sweet mystery of life,
At last I've found you!

 

Spike happily grunts as Rarity continues her happy singing.

 

Oh, at last I know the secret of your arms!

 

Spike comment, "Whoa, Rarity, you have an excellent singing voice." 

Rarity add, "Thanks, but my little sister is even better in that regard."

"I think we know where this is going." Rainbow said to Soarin' with a smirk.

"Look...uh...Rainbow Dash was it?" Soarin' ask nervously to Rainbow. He was doing fine with her until now, but...

"Yep...that's me."

"Okay...Rainbow Dash...I'm...engaged to Twilight Sparkle...and by the looks of you...you look dead."

"I'm not dead, Soarin'...I'm undead." Rainbow teases Soarin' as she messes with his mane, making him blush.

Soarin' nevertheless tries to move her hoof away as he insists, "Yes, I can see that...but I am not...un-engaged."

"Soarin', you cowardly virgin...just colt up and do it with her!" Rarity snaps to Soarin' as she and Spike continues making out in many ways possible.

"But if I do that Rarity, then Twilight will skin me and--."

"Forget about that egghead, Soarin'...let me kiss you." Rainbow remarks eagerly as she prepares to kiss Soarin' excitedly. "Let me show you the raw...passionate, unbridled...sexual frenzy that you've been denying yourself with Twilight for far too long."

"But...but...but...Rainbow...I'm proper..." Soarin' said to Rainbow nervously.

"Oh yeah...well so are these!"

Then Rainbow...being the bold mare that she was flashed her goods at the WonderBolt stallion who gulped in surprise and alarm. For an undead Pegasus mare, Rainbow had a very attractive and huge....tracts of land.

"Rainbow..." Soarin' said in amazement and excitement. He definitely wants those tracts of land!

"So...have you changed your mind? Hmm?" Rainbow ask Soarin' with a lustful look in her eyes.

"Oh...all right. I suppose what Twilight doesn't know won't kill her."

"But...please be gentle, Soarin'...I'm a virgin, too."

"You mean...when you were alive...you didn't--?" Soarin' ask Rainbow, surprised on hearing that.

"No...I didn't." Rainbow remarks slyly as she shakes her head meaning "no".

"Then don't worry, Rainbow...I'll be gentle."

"And I trust you, Soarin'."

 

--------------

 

The mob continues looking around the forest, no sign of the monsters anywhere. As they move towards the castle at last, Skipper forces his wooden fin up to shush everyone.

 

---------------

 

By now, the undead monsters and their lovers are done having their fun. Spike and Rainbow smoke a few cigarettes before giving one each to Rarity and Soarin' who took them and smoked a bit. Best "fun" they ever had.

"Wow, you are the queen, Rainbow." Soarin' said, giving a wolf whistle to Rainbow. "Yahoo."

"Penny for your thoughts." Rarity said to Spike slyly.

"One heck of a smoke." Spike remarks with a grunt, sighing a bit.

"Oh, you are incorrigible, aren't you?'

"You little undead pony neck." Soarin' teases as he nuzzles Rainbow a bit, making her smile.

"Well, thanks to you two, Spike has conquered his fear of fire, right Spike?" Rainbow ask Spike with a smirk. It's true, the Dragon was no longer scared of fire, thanks to his time with Dragon.

"Heck yeah." Spike remarks, breathing smoke a bit. "So, Rare...want another round?"

"All right, seven has always been my lucky number." Rarity said with a sigh. The two lovers threw their cigarettes away. "Come over here, you hot Dragon!"

"Come to papa!"

The two prepared to kiss the hay out of each other. Soarin' laughs a bit, "Man, you really are a hot hunk, aren't you?"

Suddenly, and before Spike could begin to kiss Rarity once more, he stops upon hearing some familiar music. The Dragon looks around, a bit amazed and in a trance.

"Huh? What's wrong? What is it?" Rarity ask Spike in concern. The two were doing great until now! "What, is it that music?"

"That music...from before..." Spike mumbles a bit, feeling like wanting to go to it again.

"Oh, it's probably some music from a cottage nearby." Soarin' said to Spike in concern.

"Yes, darling, nothing to worry about." Rarity said to her new love with a whimper. She doesn't want Spike to leave, not now.

"I must go!" Spike exclaims as he got up and heads on off to where the music is coming from.

"Spike, wait up!" Rainbow exclaims as she got up to follow her friend. Wherever that music is coming from, it better not be a trap!

"Spikey-Wikey? Where are you going? I was just starting to get into it." Rarity shouts after Spike but to her dismay, he and Rainbow are gone, disappearing into the night.

"STARTING to get into it? Really? Sounds like you were into it for at least the last hour." Soarin' remarks to Rarity, laughing a bit. It's funny, because it's true!

"Really? Look who's talking. Mister "'Wrong me! Wrong me! Wrong my brains out!'"

"Okay, okay. Point taken, but let's not get into an argument about which one of the two was a better lover."

"Fair enough. But still, seven or eight quick ones, then they're off to boast and brag to their friends. Well, they had both better keep their mouths shut." Rarity remarks with a scoff. She feels upset and jiffed that the Dragon that the white unicorn is falling for is now leaving just to brag!

"Yeah." Soarin' said in agreement. He lies down into the hay, sighing, "Still, no offense to Twi, but I think I am in love."

"As am I. Now there is the matter of breaking the news gently to my fiancée back in America."

"Eh, forget him. He was messing around with a mare of his own anyway."

 

-----------------

 

As it turns out, Twilight is playing the music from a violin through two megaphones that are hooked up. Pinkie was playing an instrument of her own which is a big horn. They hope that Spike and Rainbow can hear that so that the two monsters will come back home.

The two stopped playing for a moment, waiting. Ben sighs, "Nothing."

Twilight and Pinkie nevertheless kept on playing. They must keep on playing. As they do so, Fluttershy spots two familiar figures heading to the castle, causing the mare to call out, "Look! They're coming back!"

"Look, there they are!" Applejack exclaims in amazement. "Keep playing, Twilight! 'De music, it's 'de music 'dat's bringing those two back!"

Twilight kept on playing on the music. Rainbow looks around, saying to Spike, "Looks like the egghead is calling us back with that music."

"I got to get up there!" Spike exclaims in his trance still. He must get to the music.

"Come on, come up you two!" Ben calls out to Spike and Rainbow in determination. The two monsters spot some vines nearby and uses them to begin to climb up the wall. "Yes, come on, come on! You two can do it!"

"Hurry!" Everyone calls out, causing Spike and Rainbow to climb faster to the top.

"Come on, yew can do it, sugah cube!" Applejack exclaims with a smile. As Rainbow and Spike got closer to the top, the cowpony tried to reach for them, but Spike roars at her.

"Don't touch him!" Twilight exclaims as Rainbow manages to climb over the wall safe and sound. "Spike wants to do it himself!"

"Back off, I want to do it myself!" Spike snaps at anyone who is trying to help him. The Dragon yelps as he slips a bit, "Whoa!"

"Yes, you can do it! You can do it!" Twilight cheers on to Spike. The Dragon winced as he tries to climb as hard as he could. "Please, Spike, please!" Spike grunts then gave out one more roar before he made it to the top of the wall at last. The Dragon was preparing to faint. "Someone catch him!"

The ponies managed to catch Spike before he could fall off the edge. As they put him into a chair, Twilight kept on playing as she then ask, "Have the preparations made for the transference?"

"Yeah, they are." Fluttershy said to Twilight with a nod.

"Wait, transference?" Rainbow ask, breathing in and out due to the climbing that the undead mare have to go through to get up here.

"Are yew sure yew wanna go through wit' 'dis?" Applejack ask Twilight seriously. Once her friend does the transference, there may not be any turning back.

"It's the only thing that can save Spike now." Twilight said with a slow nod as she kept on playing. Only with this transference can Spike truly be saved.

"You do realize that you are endangering BOTH of your lives?" Pinkie ask Twilight. This causes the purple unicorn to make a sour note as if knowing this fact unfortunately.

"Yes."

"Make that ALL THREE of our lives." Ben said in determination, much to Twilight's surprise and worry.

"Ben?!" Twilight ask Ben scared. The stallion want to do a transference of his own?!

"Well, I don't want to have to live without you if this transfer goes wrong. Besides, the risk will be cut in half if we both transfer something."

Well, when one put it that way, how could one say no to that explanation?

 

-------------

 

It was a bit later in the lab. Twilight, Ben and Spike are strapped to tables in nightgowns. The living ponies are wearing helmets with wires on their heads for the transference operation. The others, including the undead Rainbow, stood nearby. Hopefully this will work.

"I will switch it off!" Rainbow exclaims making the others nod. The Pegasus pony turn a lot of switches off before she and the others came down to one light that is flickering like mad. Rainbow hits the light, shutting it off.

"So how do we know when they are done?" Fluttershy ask, wondering how the group will know when the progress is done.

As Pinkie put a small device near Twilight, she spoke up, "Twiley said that we must allow 15 minutes, not one second more or less."

Of course, it was almost a few minutes later when the mob finally arrived outside the castle. Kowalski exclaims, "We are here!"

"Boys, time we put my wooden fin to work!" Skipper exclaims in determination. The castle is locked up but the mob isn't going to allow that to stop them!

Inside the lab, Applejack spoke anxiously to the others, "So how long now?"

"2 more minutes." Rainbow said, glancing at Twilight and Ben while looking at the clock. Hopefully this work.

But 2 more minutes is what no one may never get! The other penguins and the ponies lifted Skipper who made a fist with his wooden fin. He called out, "Ein, swei, drei!"

The mob shouted as they used Skipper as a battering ram in hopes to knock down the door. Rico laughs madly as Private calls out, "This is fun!"

"Ein, swei, drei!" Skipper exclaims as everyone hits the door once more. "Ein, swei, drei!"

It took one more ram before the door busted open. The mob shouted as they enter the castle, preparing to storm it and find and kill the monsters, along with their creator!

The commotion was heard in the lab, making Fluttershy gasps, "Eeep, what's that noise?"

"Not good. What time is it?" Applejack ask worried. The mob is storming the castle, the heroes got to be close to being done by now!

"Almost time." Pinkie said seriously as everyone looks at the clock nearby. It's almost time.

It didn't take long for the villagers to find the secret passage and storm down it, heading to the lab. Hearing the commotion made Rainbow gasps, "Oh man, it's the villagers!"

Skipper was used as a battering ram again as the villagers busted down the door to the lab before storming inside. They are bloody thirsty raving mad now! The monsters and Twilight must die!
"No, no!" The mares of the group calls out in terror as the villagers begin storming the lab.

"Stop, wait, just another 7 seconds!" Rainbow pleads frantically as the villagers grab her. "Stop!"

"Too late!" Skipper exclaims sternly as Trixie destroyed a part of the machine, causing the clock to stop in 3 seconds. As the helmets are removed, the unconscious Twilight and Ben were lifted. "Twilight shall be hanged for the crimes against ponies!"

"NO, NO, NO!"

It looks like it's too late, it's all over. That is until a familiar voice snaps, "STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!!" The villagers stop in shock and alarm as they turn to see who was yelling: Spike himself! "Put those two ponies and Rainbow Dash down!"

"It's the monster Dragon!" Private exclaims, stunned by this.

"No, it can't be!" Golden Harvest exclaims in concern and disbelief.

"But it is, it is!"

"Hey, did I stutter? Put Twilight, Ben and Rainbow down now!" Spike exclaims angrily to the villagers. They hesitated at first but then put the mentioned trio down.

Applejack and Fluttershy managed to unhook Spike, allowing him to get off the table. This caused the villagers to back off in worry and fear as Snow Pillow, who arrived, watched the scene.

"Oh, and who do you think you are? Ordering these ponies about?" Skipper demands suspiciously to Spike, not liking his attitude.

"Allow him to speak, please!" Snow Pillow calls out to Skipper, wanting Spike to speak.

"Yeah, let Spike speak, lame-o!" Rainbow snaps as she pushes Skipper back, making the penguin leader yelp in surprise.

"Right, I am Spike the Dragon, a former Cupcakes Killer...and now the monster!" Spike exclaims as he leans to Skipper, causing most of the villagers to back away in alarm and fear.

"Right, right, you are the monster, I see that now." Skipper said with a slow nod. Suddenly he is beginning less afraid and more concerned by what Spike would do.

"Yeah, as long as I can remember, ponies hated me. They looked at my face, my body...and ran away in terror...hating me because of my crimes..."

"I don't hate you." Snow Pillow said as she came over and nuzzled Spike by the leg.

"Hey, kid, it's you." Rainbow said to Snow Pillow with a grin, happy as Spike to see her again. "We thought you were a goner."

"No, Spike just made me land in my bed..."

"Snow Pillow..." Frostine said to her daughter gently. It looks like her blind daughter has indeed made some friends, even monster ones too!

"Glad you're okay, Snow Pillow." Spike said with a sigh to Snow Pillow. Latrine opens a latch from behind the door in another room as she watches on. "Now then, in my loneliness, I felt like...if I couldn't inspire love, which is all I ever wanted and hoped for...I would instead cause fear..."

"Yeah...I think that's why Spike killed me...because of that fact." Rainbow said, making the ponies gasps a bit. "Maybe it's because...I was scared of him when I was alive."

"I only live because this poor half-crazed unicorn genius has given me life again." Spike explains gently. The mares in the room sniffed in tears a bit. "She alone held an image of me as something beautiful and then, when it would have been easy enough to stay out of danger, she and her love used their own bodies as guinea pigs to give me a calmer brain and a somewhat more sophisticated way of expressing myself."

The villagers were silent...they felt guilt-ridden about how they were behaving now. All their life, they fear and hated monsters, wanting to destroy them...but now realize that all they want to do is to feel love and to have friends.

"Well, I guess this is an entirely different situation, right boys?" Skipper ask his operatives who nodded in agreement. He moves his fin while continuing, "Spike, Rainbow Dash, as leader of this community, I wish to be the first to offer you my fin in friendship."

Rainbow and Spike smiles as they shook Skipper's fin, making everyone clapped. Latrine was in tears, smiling a bit. Doofenshmirtz's name and legacy has at last been redeemed!

"Thanks, Skipper." Spike said with a smile.

"Hey, you're welcome, kid. Now then, let us go back to my house for some fish and wine!" Skipper exclaims with a smile. Suddenly, the penguin's wooden fin came right off, making everyone gasped. "Oh horse crap!"

"Yeah, perhaps you should get that fixed." Rainbow said with a nervous chuckle to Skipper.

"Well, not to worry, Skipper, this can be fixed." Kowalski said as he takes the wooden fin from Spike, making Rico grunts in agreement.

"To the lumberyard!" Skipper exclaims in determination. The villagers cheer on as they follow the penguins out of the lab to make their way to the lumberyard in hopes to get that fin fixed.

Only Twilight's friends as well as the monsters remain, looking at Twilight and Ben. They leaned closer to them, hopefully that they live throughout this...

 

Author's note
Well, Twilight has done it. She has saved Spike, as well as Rainbow. But will she and Ben lived through this? In the next and final chapter, the aftermath as well as "interesting things". Read, review and suggest.

 

There are references to "Dracula: Dead and Loving It" as well as a bit of "Blazing Saddles" to boot.
