Things were getting more and more ugly in this gigantic battle. A few more lives were taken on both sides as the battle waged on between good and evil. Still, despite the number of demons and monsters in the enemy, the eland, buffalo, Zebrican Minotaurs, griffons, hippogriffs, dragons, changelings, and the other troops on the side of good were slowly pushing them all back in the offense. Zecora kicked a cat Klugetownian in the groin, making him kneel down in pain, and Zecora was in a clad of shining white armor as a knight, and he had a sword and shield to fight off incoming enemies, too. Still, it didn't mean that he wasn't using his chaotic powers, such as turning a bunch of demons into a bunch of turkeys, or other animals. When they changed, the demon-turned-animals, ran away in complete fear to avoid getting hurt and or killed by the good guys.

In her gut, Zecora couldn't help but notice something was not right, like something was missing or something had gone terribly wrong. Deep down, she had a feeling it involved Spike, and she ran to the small cavern that he was hiding in before, and she had to kick and charge her way through many enemies to try and get to him.

Discord, Conok, Imari, Ember, Thorax, and the other leaders followed her and wondered why it looked like she was leaving the battlefield like this. It wouldn't be like for a zebra as noble and brave like her to desert a battle like this one. "Zecora, wait!" Savimbi shouted, catching up to her. "Where are you going?"

"To check on Spike!" she called back to him. "I have a feeling that something is the opposite of right!" She stopped in front of the small cavern, and called out: "Spike? Are you in here?" She went deeper in the small cavern, but he was nowhere in sight.

Ember and Thorax were the next to come in and look for their closest and very first friend they had ever made in their lives. "Come on, Spike!" Thorax called out. "If you can here my voice, give me a sign!"

"I'll tear this whole cave down if I have to." Ember remarked. She cracked her knuckled on her hands and wings at the same time, ready to search for Spike the hard way. Before she could lay her claws on the walls, Imari stopped him.

"Wait! Let's not be hasty, Ember." said the eland king. "I am sure there is a good explanation for why Spike is not here."

"You mean, other than me?" said a voice. It was Roseblood with Spike on her back. The evil mare let out a cruel chuckle in amusement. "I suppose you are all looking for him?"

Everyone looked furious and Ember charged at her full of zeal, but she was no match for Roseblood's magic, and she was thrown to the left side from the dark magic, looking hurt and sore. That blow hit Ember pretty hard, and it looked like it kills her. Despite her looking down, she was slowly getting back up and coughed a few drops of blood.

"Release him!" said Savimbi. "Or so help me, I will peel your eyelids back and bury you to fry in the Stripeless desert!"

Despite his tough talk, Roseblood was not intimidated one little bit, and she laughed at his little threat. "You just try it, Savimbi. I beg you." to everyone else, she said to them all: "If you want him all back, come take him from me at the castle!" she vanished and disappeared with her evil laughter heard as an echo.

"We need to go help him!" said Ember. "I don't wanna lose him again. I mean- WE don't want to lose him again!"

"Right you are, Ember. Let's get our buddy back." Thorax agreed, sounding very bold and serious. Everyone else agreed with him. They were about to go all the way to the castle to rescue Spike once and for all, but that was when an obstacle came in there way, which was Garble, his friends, and queen Chrysalis.

"Going somewhere you pathetic heroes?" said Chrysalis with a smug look.

Thorax stepped up and he said: "Out of our way.... mother. Or I will have to end you."

"Come now, Thorax. You and the other changelings are practically my children, after all."

“Yeah? Well you are a terrible mother, you Wench.” Said Thunderhooves. “A true parent would never treat her own children like slaves and she would care for them with love.”

“Don’t lecture me about how I ran the kingdom, Bison.” Chrysalis retorted at him. “I had everything I ever wanted in my life as the queen! Me and my subjects could have ruled all of the world as one. Roseblood will help me with that of course. Once She kills you all, she will help me reclaim my throne.”

Thorax made an angrier look at her. “That!s never gonna happen, Chrysalis. You were in power for too long. I am the king of the Changelings now!”

“Grr. You wouldn’t know a thing or two about being a leader of your own kind, Thorax! I know very well that once you ruin the kingdom for a period of time, I know everyone else will come crawling back to me as the rightful ruler of the kingdom.”

Thorax made a “pfft!” Sound in disbelief. “That will be the day. Haven’t you underestimated us already, Chrysalis?”

“You cannot win this fight.” Said Pharynx.

“Oh ho. We’ll see about that.”

“Get them, boys!” Garble ordered. Just like that, he and his band of dragon delinquents charged at the heroes, and Thorax focused on his own mother, locking his magic with hers. He knew that Chrysalis was a rather lousy fighter, but it did not mean she isn’t strong with magic.

Matter of fact, she charged her horn and zapped a magic beam on Thorax. Fortunately for him, the king humble to the left side and zapped her with his own magic. Chrysalis saw it coming, powered her horn and fired beams from her horn again.

Before he knew it, Thorax was trying to push back Chrysalis, and Chrysalis was doing the same thing to him. Both of them were putting all their strength in trying to overpower one another with their magic, but it was very hard to tell who was winning or losing. At one moment, it looked like Chrysalis was winning in the struggle, and in another moment, it looked like a Thorax was pushing against her.

Ultimately, Thorax gained the upper hoof, and blew her away to the ground. “Give up, mother. It’s over!”

“Never!” She Then tackled him and tried biting his face right off, but she would always miss. Thorax kicked her in the belly with his two legs and he was prepared to execute her by stomping on her to death.

“Enough!” Said Conok. “Spike is our number one concern.”

“You’ll have to get past us, first.” Said Garble. “Come on! You’re not afraid of some dragons, aren’t you?”

All of a sudden, he felt Zuberi charge at his right side like a coach had hit him. “I am not afraid if anything. Or any other buffalo are afraid of some evil dragons like you!”

It took a little while, but Zecora, Discord, And everyone else fought back gallantlty, and most of the soldiers around then were either dead, knocked unconscious, or ran away in complete cowardice.

As soon as the problem was taken care of, they all continued to Canterlot to save poor Spike. Everyone else stayed behind in the fighting to make sure that no enemies were all left to kill or fight off. Of course, they know not to kill the ponies because they are all suffering on the inside.

For now, they had to save Spike from any more harm that will come to him from Roseblood.
