Discord, Zecora, Thorax, and Ember were rushing towards Canterlot and getting through an army of demons, diamond dogs, brainwashed ponies, etc.

It was not easy since they were a little far from the castle. Not to mention the numbers of the enemy trying to stop the four heroes.

A bunch of berserker guards that consisted of minotaurs and bulky, tough Klugetownians were standing in front of the entrance to make sure the four don't put a toe inside the castle.

Discord just instantly snapped his finger and conjured a large bowling ball, throwing it at the guards with his magic.

"Strike!" The Master of chaos boasted. All of the guards were immediately knocked out, and this gave the perfect opportunity for the four to set foot inside the castle.

"Now, we just find Spike and kill Roseblood, putting a stop to all this mess once and for all." Zecora boldly instructed

"I wanna make her bleed out dry." Said Ember.

"I'm not one for excessive violence, but," Thorax was in a very more aggressive voice when he exclaimed: "I am gonna send her straight back to hell! Whether blood is spilled or not!"

The three looked at him in surprise hearing those kind of words from a gentle and sweet soul like this one.

"Wow. That's the toughest thing I have ever heard from you." Ember commended him with a smirk.

"Thanks. Just trying to be more tough like you told me to be."

"Come on. Posthaste!" Discord shouted. He and the other three heroes went up the flights of stairs to look for Spike. Of course, a castle like this was not without a bunch of guards and soldiers patrolling the whole place.

Most of them were just brainwashed royal guards who had just been turned evil by Roseblood. Discord simply just put them to sleep with a snap of his finger and they would remain asleep until Roseblood was finally dead.

the higher they were getting in the castle, the more guards there were. Not only the numbers of the enemies. But how bug and strong they were. The strongest Diamond Dogs were stationed inside the castle in case something went wrong.

Zecora had a few smoke bombs up her sleeve and used them to her advantage. She even threw some of the monsters out of the window if they were anywhere near one, falling to their eminent deaths through the glass. As soon as much bad guys were either subdued, or killed, the four continued the search for Poor Spike, wherever he may be held captive right now.

He could be anywhere, for this was a huge castle. For Ember, she was literally ransacking the place and trying to tear it apart just to find his very first friends she ever cared about. "Spike?!" she shouted. "Where are you!?" she breathed fire onto a large, wooden door until it was charred enough to fall into pieces, and barged right in over the soot.

the baby dragon was nowhere to be seen in the castle, and Zecora couldn't find him either, nor Discord.

"Gah! He could be anywhere." Zecora said. "We must have to keep searching high and low for him."

"You're telling me." Said Ember. “Maybe the highest tower should be where he is held hostage at. It happens all the time with kidnapped princess’ from the books.” The other three looked at Ember in confusion. “Oh, not saying I read those books. Spike told me about those situations.”

“Right.” Discord remarked with his eyes narrowed. “No matter. Come on!”

They followed Discord all the way upstairs and they were in Celestia’s bedroom, where they found a sleeping snoring so soundly in his slumber. He was behind a set of curtains going around the bed, and it looked like he was untouched by Roseblood. Despite how peaceful he sounded, it looked like he was a in a deep slumber, like a type of spell that would make somepony sleep forever.

"Spike!" said Ember and Thorax in delight. They all walked over to him and just when they were about to bring him back, a very dark red, and evil aura swirled around the four heroes in the room.

"Ah ah ah!" a voice sang. It sounded a lot like Roseblood's. "Nopony touches my pet, but me." It sounded like an echo, and the sound of evil laughter from the brainwashed Elements of harmony were heard across the room. It was as if all joy and happiness had gone from the whole earth.

Zecora And Discord knew exactly what this meant. Things were about to get very ugly, very fast. Now Roseblood will give them a very painful death once she gets through with the,, along with the changeling king and new dragon lord.

Roseblood herself appeared from the mist and had her very evil, demonic smile on her face. "You may have taken my new pet away from me, but you will not take him from me again."

"Spike is nobody's pet, you hag!" Thorax insulted.

"How dare you insult our glorious-!" Starlight Glimmer was about to attack him with full force, but she was stopped by the wicked mare.

"Peace, Starlight. We will kill them all, but I have one thing to say."

"Yes, of course, my queen." said Starlight. "Please forgive me." then she bowed her head in respect to her after that before backing away slowly.

"Now, I will give you one last chance to surrender and I will let you all live." Roseblood told them once again. "What do you say: Live and surrender? Or die trying to dethrone me? Which do you want to chose."

"As we told you time and time again." said Thorax. "We would rather die!!"

Roseblood gave him and the others a disapproving look on her face. “Very well. Kill them all!” She barked. Then she disappeared to an unknown place. Twilight, Starlight, and her friends approached the four menacingly and scary-like, laughing evilly as they were about to attack with all they got.

Fluttershy charged first and she was trying to punch and kick Discord but the master of Chaos was dodging her strikes by making his body like a blob or something plastic. “Fluttershy, please.” Discord began begging again. “You have got to snap out of this. This is not like you!!”

“Oh shut your trap, mister king of chaos!” Fluttershy rudely said as she continued punching him over and over again. Thanks to Discord making him function like rubber, it didn’t hurt and his bones wouldn’t break.

“I know this is not you talking.” Discord pleaded. “The nice, sweet, innocent Fluttershy is struggling in her heart somewhere. Only you can unlock the feeling within you.”

“Oh let me think.... NOPE!” Then she continued attacking him some more.

Meanwhile, Zecora was kicking Twilight with her hooves in the belly, trying to incapacitate her so she wouldn’t be a big problem. Despite how hard she was kicking and punching her, Twilight wouldn’t Get down and stop for a minute. She felt Starlight zap her with her magic, knocked into a wardrobe.

“Oh i’m Sorry.” Said the other purple unicorn in a mocking voice. “Did that hurt? I mean to kill you with that!”

Starlight immediately felt her own face being punched two times by Ember, and she was being picked up with little hesitation. Her horn was being gripped tightly by Ember’s tough, bare hands. Ember then threw her to a desk, knocking her radically off-course.

Rainbow Dash hit her by using her side like a charging train and Ember found herself fighting Rainbow Dash and Twilight in the sky. “I know I’m not supposed to kill them,” Ember muttered to herself. “But, they give me no choice.” She went as far as to breath fire on these two ponies to try and subdue them form attacking she over and over again

Ember felt her back being zapped by Twilight’s magic behind the back, and Twilight said to her: “Ember, Ember, Ember, when will you learn you can’t stop Roseblood?”

“I can, thanks to a Little help from my friends.” The two ponies began to try and charge her on one side and and then she dodged out of the way in time, and the two mares bumped in one another with birds flying around their heads in dizziness.

“Ow. That hurt.” Said Rainbow Dash. “I’m gonna be sore in the morning.”

“Don’t just hover!” Twilight ordered her. “Get her!”

“Got it!” Then the two mares began chasing her around and around, trying to dodge fire breath from the new dragon lord.

Thorax transformed into a gigantic gorilla to have a sporting chance in this fighting. He even pounded his chest in a fury like real gorillas would do to act tough and mighty against their enemies and rivals.

Applejack, Rarity, And Pinkie Pie were fighting against him, and tried to hit him, but Thorax would use his gorilla strength to fight off the charging mares and even through Applejack, Rarity, and Pinkie Pie up to the ceiling like a trio of juggling balls.

The three suddenly regained their balance and began punching and kicking at Thorax countless times while he was covering his body as a shield for protection. Having enough of the blows he was receiving, he let out all his fury and anger at the three by knocking them out in the head with his fists and brute strength.

Thorax hit them so hard that it made the three mares collapsed from the impact of the blow. Birds were chirping and flying around their heads in dizziness now, and their eyes were moving around in a crazy fashion, obviously looking dizzy from being hit in the face like that.

“Sorry guys,” Said Thorax. “It was for your own good.”

“Ooh, don’t be sorry.” Said Pinkie in her sweet demeanor. In a far more aggressive tone of voice. She added: “On second thought, you will be very sorry once we’re all done with you!”

“Ha! Good luck with that!” Thorax Said. He continued using his brute strength and gigantic paws to throw these three away like a triplet of flies or bees in his face.ultimately, after a beating, Applejack, Rarity l and Pinkie Pie were eventually defeated and subdued

“Oh tarnation. Said Applejack before becoming fully unconscious.

It was a good thing Spike was still in his deep slumber for he would not want to see something like this. His own friends attacking him and the other. they were trying fight out in the battlefield while the other heroes came here just to save him from this spell that Roseblood has placed inside of his brain

For other people’s eyes, it looked like he just died out of stress or overwork. Could the four heroes help him get out of there? Or will he be like this forever?

Discord really didn’t want to hurt poor Fluttershy, and when he was about to give up, a new idea came up in his head, and he conjured a music box to play in a beautiful lullaby, and the yellow Pegasus was already starting to get sleepy from listening to that adorable, beautiful tune that the music boss was playing to her.

When he got to work of helping Spike, his own right hand almost got burned off when his hand was almost Zapped by Roseblood. “Ah Ah Ah.” She sang. “Not another step closer to my new plaything.”

“You don’t scare us!” Said Thorax.

“You wicked, wicked witch!” Ember cursed at her, tried to go out to the sky to rethink her plans of action. “You are the most evil creatures in the whole, world!!” Said. When Rosebloood beard it, she just gave a proud chuckle.

“Guilty as charged, and proud of it.”

“How did you even.... get here?” Asked Thorax

“Call it a hunch.” Said the leader.

“Alright, that’s enough of torturing for one day. You all still to catch me if you can.” She bounced her eyebrows three times to show her point. “I am not escaping, for your information. No, I have something else special in mind.

Then she disappeared, and everyone in the elements of harmony were all unconditionally use sleepy, or both.

“I’m not done with you yet!” Said Ember in anger. “I will show you all what I am capable of!”

“Heh, good luck with that.” Said Applejack. More fighting continued and it was just so much for poor Spike while snoozing away.
