When morning came in Canterlot, Spike woke up and looked at both his sides seeing Rarity and Applejack still asleep. He smiled and thought, 'I wish we could sleep in like this, but we have other things to do today,' he sighed before shaking the two, "Rise and shine, girls."

The two girls groaned, before waking up, "Is it morning now?" Rarity yawned.

"Sun's shining. So yeah." Applejack confirmed, as the two sat up in bed.

"You girls sleep ok?" Spike inquired.

"I slept wonderfully." Rarity answered.

"Same here, sugarcube." Applejack added.

"Good. Well, we better get ready. That meeting summit's gonna be taking place soon."

"Quite right. We musn't waste time," Rarity agreed, as the two got up and put robes on, "We'll be in the bath Spike. You coming?"

"Hell yes!" Spike got up and followed the two.

Later on, Spike, his harem, and Stone were walking through a hall before coming up to the doors to the room where the summit was being held. Twilight turned to everyone, "Ok, everyone this is it. Remember to be on your best behavior, and don't make a spectacle of yourselves."

"We know, Twilight." Pinkie saluted.

Twilight opened the doors, and they walked in inside. As they entered, they noticed some familiar faces sitting at a large circular table. There was Celestia, Luna, Discord, Cadence, and Shining Armor. They trailed around seeing other newer ponies, while Spike spotted who else but Ember sitting down while holding onto the Bloodstone Scepter.

'Ember.' Spike thought. Ember looked over and after seeing Spike, waved at him. Spike smiled at her, until he saw standing behind her was Garble wearing knight armor and a helmet. Spike gave the dragon an angry glare, making the former dragon spy back away in fright. Spike smirked seeing Garble was still terrified of him since he kicked his ass during the Gauntlet. Standing by Cadence and Shining Armor was Flash, with Trixie at his side. Spike also noticed standing close to Celestia and Luna was Fleur in her knight attire looking ready for anything. But he noticed her give a glance over to both him and Bonbon and winked making the two blush. Lyra noticed the looks Fleur was shooting at Bonbon and rolled her eyes while feeling irked.

So the group stood by Celestia and Luna's side, as Luna spoke up, "Everyone's all here? Good we can finally begin."

"Let's start by introductions," Celestia suggested, "I am Princess Celestia, Princess of the sun."

"I am Princess Luna, Princess of the moon." Luna introduced herself.

Celestia started going around the room giving more introductions, "Here we have Discord, the Master of Chaos."

"No autographs, please." Discord answered.

"Representing the Crystal Empire is Princess Cadence and Shining Armor." Luna continued, as Cadence and Shining Armor bowed their heads in respect.

"Representing Saddle Arabia is Haakim and Amira." Celestia introduced.

Spike and the girls looked at the two delegates seeing their physical structure appeared more horse-like than pony-like. Haakim had moderate violet eyes, his mane was light gold and pale, light grayish olive. His coat was colored. Amira's eyes were colored brilliant cornflower blue, her coat was pale, light grayish heliotrope, and her mane was moderate persian blue. The Saddle Arabian delegates bowed their heads in respect.

Luna introduced the next two delegates, "From Maretonia, we have Duke Kyrippos II and Duchess Ice Mirror."

The Duchess was a unicorn wearing a headpiece fitting for Queen Amidala, and the Duke was an earth pony wearing robes and his own headpiece. The two bowed their heads in respect. Finally Celestia introduced their last major delegate, "And hailing all the way from the Dragon Lands, may I present Dragon Lord Ember."

"Hey, there." Ember greeted the delegates.

Celestia stood up and motioned to the others, "And here we have my closest subjects who've done so much for Equestria and their own world. First we have my old pupil Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Sunset Shimmer, Vinyl Scratch, Lyra Heartstrings, Bonbon aka Special Agent Sweetie Drops, Stone Edge, and Spike Drake vessel to the former Dragon King Bahamut."

The girls, Stone, and Spike bowed their heads in respect, as Luna began, "Now then, we've called this summit to discuss all the recent attacks and plots to take over the land by some of the worst enemies Equestria has ever faced. One of which being myself." she sighed.

Celestia laid a hand on her sister's shoulder to comfort her, before speaking up, "As you all know of the events that happened during the last Summer Sun Celebration Nightmare Moon attacked the celebration and tried to prevent the sun from rising up again. But thanks to the efforts of my former pupil and her friends Nightmare was defeated and Luna was returned to us."

"Yes, a very big welcome back to our beloved Princess of the night." Discord chuckled.

Spike whispered to Twilight, "Looks like Discord will be the one making a spectacle of himself." Twilight stiffled a chuckle.

"But I was not the only one trying to take over Equestria." Luna continued.

Ice Mirror spoke up, "Wasn't there also Chrysalis the Queen of Changelings?"

"Correct," Cadence confirmed, "She once tried to take over Canterlot some time ago by pretending to be me and feed off my husbands love to get stronger. But after she was foiled she joined the evil group and tried to take over the other world, but using someone from there to do her bidding."

"And who was that?" Kyrippos II asked.

"Me," Sunset Shimmer stepped forward, "Chrysalis brainwashed me with her magic and granted me a power from an element of disharmony turning me into a monster."

"Yikes." Ember gasped.

"But luckily my friends broke the spell on me and I helped them in stopping Chrysalis." Sunset finished, as Spike smiled at her.

"And not too long ago we faced the threat of King Sombra." Shining Armor put in.

"Even after you managed to drive him out of the Crystal Empire upon its return, he still came back?" Haakim inquired.

"Afraid so, and while he intended to do it again he also had other agendas as well." Cadence explained.

Twilight motioned Spike to explain. The dragon boy spoke up, "He came to me and told me of his true back story about how he felt betrayed by Princess Amore and Radiant Hope. He attempted to try and make me doubt my friendship with Twilight and the others making me think I would turn into a monster like him and they would turn on me in return. I admit I almost believed him, but Twilight and my friends reminded me that our friendship and love would never be broken."

The delegates looked very moved by Spike's story, making the dragon feel relieved. Twilight spoke up, "Sombra not only wanted to take over the Crystal Empire, but to release his own kind the Umbrum. He had almost succeeded if not for Radiant Hope coming from the past to help Sombra see he was free to be who he wanted and now what everyone thought of him as. Because of this he trapped the Umbrum again and with our help was changed into a real unicorn."

"Fascinating, and where is Sombra now?" Amira inquired.

Celestia answered, "He is currently traveling all over Equestria with Hope searching for the missing fragments of Amore hoping to turn her back to normal."

"So if those three enemies are history, then what's the big problem now?" Ember asked wanting the full detail.

"The problem is Tirek." Luna answered.

Everyone was curious as Ice Mirror spoke, "Please tell us who this Tirek is."

Celestia nodded, and used her magic to created a vision above the table for them to see history while she explained, "Tirek was a centaur hailing from another land. A long time ago, he and his young gargoyle brother Scorpan came here intent on stealing Equestrian magic. But Scorpan soon came to appreciate the ways of Equestria, even befriending a young unicorn wizard named Starswirl the Bearded."

Luna continued, "Scorpan urged his brother to abandon their plans. When Tirek refused, Scorpan alerted us to Tirek's intentions."

"Scorpan returned to his own land, and Tirek was sent to Tartarus for his crimes. But it appears he had long since escaped some time ago when Nightmare Moon had returned." Celestia finished.

"We have reason to believe this happened when Cerberus once left his post many years ago." Luna theorized.

"But if that was so long ago, how come he began acting now?" Applejack wondered.

Celestia elucidated, "His time in Tartarus left him very weak. He has regained enough strength to use his dark powers when this whole thing started with Nightmare Moon's assaults."

"Looks like he wanted the rest of his partners to do the dirty work and wait for his moment to strike." Rainbow guessed.

"A clever plan." Stone admitted.

"So far his assaults have proven to be dangerous." Twilight said.

"He turned my friend's manager into a demon by feeling off his negative feelings." Applejack began.

"And to top it off, he sent my dragon guard here Garble to infiltrate the meeting of the Dragons so he could become Dragon Lord and force the dragons to obey Tirek." Ember spoke while motioning to Garble who felt embarrassed that the attention fell on him.

"If he is Tirek's spy why is he even here?" Ice Mirror asked.

Spike spoke up, "Because I beat the crap out of him during the Gauntlet of Fire and forced him to pledge his loyalties to not only me but to Ember as well."

"You don't have to rub it in." Garble grumbled.

"And has he any information we can use against Tirek?" Duke Kyrippos II asked.

"Afraid now," Ember sighed, "He may have been Tirek's flunky but he didn't know anything too important. Not even the location of his lair."

Garble spoke, "Yeah. He contacts us and brings us to his lair along with sending us off."

Stone spoke up, "And Tirek is not alone in this. He also has secondary help outside of his former partners."

"Such as?" Haakim inquired.

"One is in fact Grogar of Tambelon." Celestia answered.

"So the famed Necormancer teamed up with someone like Tirek?" Amira asked, "That is certainly a dangerous combination."

"Especially after we found out what Grogar is capable of." Vinyl said.

The delegates listened, as Stone spoke up, "He brought my father Silver Streak back to live as a zombie and forced him to fight us."

"Against a legendary sword pony like him? How did you survive?" Ice Mirror asked.

"Well, I had to truly step up and get stronger in order to match my dad's speed and talent with the sword." Stone answered.

"While me and Sunset Shimmer put together a magic sealing spell that would break Grogar's hold over him." Twilight added.

"We haven't see Grogar since then, but he is still out there." Bonbon explained.

"And who knows just how many more flunkies Tirek has under his command." Rainbow noted.

"Which is why we all must work together to ensure the safety of both Equestria and the human world. Alone we cannot face the threat of Tirek and even Grogar, but if we stand together we can overcome this evil." Celestia finished.

Spike stepped forward, "I know this is all more than what we're used to dealing with. Trust me I know. I was a normal school boy battling puberty, but after a stare in the eyes of death..." Trixie winced knowing she was the one who set things in motion, "I became reborn as this dragon with the spirit of a former King Dragon inside me. But over time I got used to it and what I was capable of. I use this dragon power to protect my home and Equestria. I do it because I want to help my friends and all those who're special to me." Spike's harem blushed while Ember felt sheepish. Fleur who had been listening could feel the passion and honesty in his claim, and could help but feel flustered as well.

The delegates listened, as Haakim spoke, "You speak such noble words, Mr. Drake. You've clearly shown you are dedicated to those you care about."

"I am." Spike confirmed.

Twilight and the girls smiled to hear just how much Spike was winning the respect of the other delegates, as Ember spoke, "I for one give my full support to Equestria. After all if it wasn't for Spike I never would've been able to become Dragon Lord." she winked at Spike who rubbed the back of his head while giving a toothy grin.

"Ice Mirror and I also give our support to you all." Kyrippos II spoke on behalf of himself and the Duchess.

"As do we." Amira spoke on behalf of herself and Haakim.

The royal sisters smiled seeing the delegates pledge their allegiance to them, and knew Spike was the catalyst to help make this possible. This also made the two look over at Spike with faint blushes upon their faces. Before another word could be said, the doors of the room flung open startling everyone. What banged the doors open was Rep who transformed into a bull.

Rep changed back to normal while rubbing his head, "Oh, that hurt."

"What is this?" Kyrippos II demanded.

"Who are you?" Cadence added.

"Name's Rep. And you guys are about to be in for it."

They saw entering the room was Catrina who snickered to herself, "So sorry to crash your summit, honored ones. But I just can't resist." she laughed, as everyone looked on in shock.
