Chapter 1

A guard rushed through the hallways of Canterlot Castle; entering the throne room and approached Celestia and Luna who were awaiting news on a certain development.

"Your majesties, i've come to report that we've apprehended at least 20% of the escapees, and are now transferring them to a new facility." he explained.

"What about, "him"?" asked Luna.

"Prince Blueblood and Shining Armor have formed a special search party to specifically look for him." he explained. "Don't worry, we'll find him." As the guard turned to leave, Luna looked over at her sister who had a worried look on her face. One week had past since they returned from their vacation, and since then, Celestia has done nothing but worry. Out of all the inmates who's escape, there was only one stallion whom she'd hope would never see the light of day. One stallion who was the cause of Spike's suffering, and now he's out there, somewhere; most probably planning some kind of horrible revenge plot. She wanted to have Spike put in protective custody, but didn't want to worry anypony else at best, or set off Granny Smith at worst. Knowing that crazy old mare, if she hears that "he's" on the loose, she'll burn down the entire country just to find him. It's bad enough she has to deal with the potential fallout of what happened in Dragonia, but knowing the he's out there, is just too much.

"Sister, don't worry, we'll find him." Luna reassured. "We have both the Canterlot Guards and the guards from the Crystal Empire on high alert." Knowing that guards of both kingdoms were on alert put Celestia's mind at ease, but not by much. She couldn't help but remember what happened the last time "he" came in contact with Spike. The stallion would've killed him had she not intervened when she did. "Spike." Celestia whispered as a few nobles walked in for the morning court. Politics was the last thing on her mind right now, all she wanted was to make sure Spike was in a safe place; at least until "he's" been dealt with.

****************************

Twilight and Spike were snuggled together in bed after a long night of passion. A dark blush of embarrassment formed on the purple alicorn's face as she remembered how loud she was during their session. She was sure that over half of Ponyville heard her; even with the soundproof magic spell she casted before hand. Twilight slowly lifted her head off Spike's chest and watched her dragon-mate as he slept. She planted a small peck on his cheek causing him to groan. Spike didn't want to wake up; the feeling of having one of his mates in his arms was just too good. "Spike, time to wake up." Twilight said softly. Spike responded with a groan. Twilight giggled as she continue trying to get him to wake up.

"Leave me alone." he whined.

"Come on, we'll be late for the party." she said as she got out of bed. Twilight quickly grabbed her nightgown and put it on; shielding her naked body from Spike. As much as she would like another go around, they really had to get going. Today was Mrs. Cake's birthday and Twilight had promised Pinkie she and Spike would help out setting things up. With a loud groan, Spike slowly sat up and yawned; stretching out his body just as Twilight took this time to walk out of the room. "You better be ready by the time I get back." she said. Spike sleepily waved her off while grumbling.

"Why did she have to wake me? I was dreaming about sleeping." he thought before he laid back down.

****************************

"Dizzy hurry!" Pinkie yelled. "Bring me the eggs!"

"I'm going as fast as I can." he replied. Pinkie snatched the eggs out of her coltfriend's hands, and cracked them into the batter where she frantically began mixing. "Pinkie, slow down, you're making a mess."

"I have to hurry!" she said. "Oh, I can't believe I overslept."

"Pinkie, Twilight and the others will be here soon." Dizzy explained. "You'll be able to catch up with their help." Pinkie slowed down her actions long enough to catch her breath. With Twilight's magic and Spike's natural talent in the kitchen, she should be able to have everything ready by the time the Cakes return. Dizzy walked up to his marefriend and placed both hands on her shoulders. "Let's just wait until they get here before we do anything else." Pinkie responded by placing a hand over his; agreeing to his suggestion.

****************************

It was late afternoon when Mr. and Mrs. Cake returned to ponyville. The two of had left yesterday on a huge delivery and were only now making it back home. Mrs. Cake was understandably upset seeing as how she spent most of her birthday on a train. Little does she know that her husband and Pinkie had a party planned out for her once the two of them got back. He could only hope that everything was ready once they did. As the Cakes walked up to their home, Mrs. Cake noticed that all the lights were off. She figured that Pinkie must've been called away on a friendship mission, otherwise, the place would be booming. Opening the door, the cakes walked into their dark home. "I'll get the lights." said Mr. Cake. He walked over to the counter and rang the bell. It was then all the lights came on and multiple ponies popped out of nowhere at once.

"SURPRIZE!" they all yelled.

Mrs. Cake's eyes widen with shock as everypony came out of nowhere wearing party hats and streamers. In the middle of the room was a massive sky blue and pink cake with rainbow sprinkles all over it. Pinkie appeared out of nowhere and pulled Mrs. Cake her signature bone crushing hug. "OH, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MRS. CAKE!"

"P-Pinkie!" she struggled to say as all the air was rapidly escaping her lungs. Pinkie finally let the light blue mare go and allowed her to catch her breath.

"E-Everypony.....I.....don't know what to say." she said.

"How about, LET'S PARTY!" Pinkie screamed. As music started playing, Pinkie grabbed Mrs. Cake and brought into the next room along with everypony else where they all started dancing. Mr.Cake watched in the distance and chuckled at his wife's attempt to keep up with Pinkie and the others. While that was going on, Big Mac walked in holding a large barrel of his family's famous cider. This immediately caught Pinkie's attention as her eyes lit up. "ALRIGHT, NOW IT'S A PARTY!" she yelled. "Come to Pinkie!"

"NO!" yelled everypony as they tackled her to the ground. The pink mare tried to escape but Twilight and the others refused to let her go. Starlight used her magic to lift Pinkie up, sit her in a chair, and conjured up and magical chain to strap her to it; moving her to the nearest corner.

"Hey, let me go!" she whined.

"Sorry, Pinkie, but this is for your own good." said Twilight.

"Yeah, everytime you drink cider, you go crazy." Rainbow added. "Like you did back in Baltimare." Pinkie's head and ears lowered; her mane deflated a bit as she pouted. All she wanted was just a little sip of cider, and they won't give it to her. It wasn't fair. As everypony went back to enjoying themselves, Pinkie started to make eye contact with Big Mac; making the cutest puppy dog pout face she could in order to get him to free her and get her some cider. That plan was quickly shot down whenever Fluttershy gave her a death glare and pulled him away. Pinkie had no choice but to lower her head in defeat.

Time went by and the dance floor was given to both Mr. and Mrs. Cake. The married couple held each other as they slowly moved in tune with the music. Sitting on the sideline, Twilight scooted closer to Spike and rested her head on his shoulder. As she watched the Cakes, thoughts started to run through her mind; thoughts of all that has happened in the last few months. One thought in particular that she couldn't escape was her former coltfriend, Stargazer, and how he betrayed her by having Spike attacked with the hopes of him being killed. He did all of that just because he was paranoid that Spike might attempt steal her away from him; even thought Spike had shown no interest in doing anything of the sort and would always make sure to give the two of them their privacy whenever they wanted it. But the most hurtful thing she remembered, was when she confronted him in the hospital about Spike's attack, and not only did he lie to her, but his true colors came out when he said that Spike should be with his own kind and then later at the Summer Sun Celebration, he tried to kill him. She couldn't believe that she dated a pony who so hateful that he would go so far as to try and kill one of her friends. A pony whom she'd loved. A pony whom she'd slept with on numerous occasions. Just thinking about made him sick to her stomach, but the real question is.......why? Why was she thinking about him now?

"Twilight?" Spike said; sensing something was wrong. "You okay?"

"Y-Yeah.....yeah just.....thinking." she trailed off. Putting an arm around her, Spike pulled her closer and she melted into the embrace as more thoughts of Stargazer entered her mind. She tried to erase him, but the images just wouldn't go away; especially as she watched Mr. and Mrs. Cake dancing. Their movements were the same she and Stargazer made the day Pinkie through a party for Spike after his attack. She remembered that while everyone was distracted, she and Stargazer went upstairs for a quickie. She always regretted that because the party was for Spike and all she thought about, at that time, was herself and how she wanted to just get off. Twilight was soon pulled from her thoughts once again when the song ended and everypony clapped. Mr. and Mrs. Cake both left the dance floor leaving it free for everypony to return to it to dance themselves; except for Pinkie who was still tied up.

Speaking of Pinkie, the poor mare struggled to get out of her prison; almost falling over as she squirmed around. Feeling bad for his marefriend, Dizzy went over to Starlight to attempt to convince her to release Pinkie. "Starlight, can't you just let her go?" he asked.

"If I do that, than she'll go straight for the cider." Starlight argued.

"No she won't." he said. "I'll make sure she doesn't." Starlight thought about it for a few seconds before deciding to release Pinkie. Both she and Dizzy with over to the pink mare who lifted her head up to see them. "Pinkie." said Dizzy. "If we let you out, then I want you to pinkie promise me that you'll stay away from the cider."

"What?!" she said. "Come on!"

"Ponyville can't risk you going on one of your drunken rampages." Starlight argued. "So either promise you'll stay away from the cider, or remain there until the party's over." Pinkie let out a whining sound as she knew that once she makes the promise, she'll be bound to keep it. She never broke a pinkie promise before and wasn't going to anytime ever. However, that meant she'll never get any of that sweet, sweet cider. This was a dirty play by the two of them.

"O-Okay, I pinkie promise." she said. Starlight released her from her bonds so that she could cross her heart and place a hand over her eye; indicating that the promise was made.

"I'll get you two back for this." she thought as Dizzy grabbed her hand.

"Come on, let's some cake." he suggested.

****************************

That evening, Blueblood and Shining Armor had returned to Canterlot. Entering the throne room, they were confronted by a very worried Celestia. "Did you find him?" she asked.

"Unfortunately, we didn't." Shining answered. "Most of the prisoners we've captured haven't seen Stargazer since the breakout."

"No." Celestia said in a soft whisper as her body trembled slightly. She was visibly worried that Stargazer would find Spike and finish what he started. Her heart sank as images of Stargazer attacking Spike started to fill her mind. Sensing destress from her sister, Luna placed a hand on her shoulder before turning her attention towards her nephew and Shining Armor.

"Do we know of a place he would most likely go to other than Twilight's castle?" she said.

"Unfortunately, no." Shining answered. "The only one who would is Twily, but I don't think it would be a good idea to tell her that her ex escaped prison."

"So there's nopony we could ask about Stargazer's location?" she said.

"I believe there is somepony we could ask." said Blueblood. "Two someponies to be exact."

****************************

"No.....honey.....we can't." Mrs. Cake whispered as her husband held her from behind; slowly kissing her up and down her neck."

"Why not, it's not like they'll miss us." he whispered back. "They're too busy keeping an eye on Pinkie." Mrs. Cake gasped when she felt her husband grab and fondle both of her large breasts while grinding against her thick plot. She hand to place both hands against the counter in order to keep herself balanced. With a deep blush on her face and lust in her eyes, she turned to face her husband and smashed her lips against his. After a few seconds, she pulled away. "Take me to bed." she whispered.

"With pleasure." he replied. As the married couple started to make their way upstairs, Pinkie walked into the front lobby pulling Dizzy by the ear.

"Ow, ow, ow, Pinkie." he said. Pinkie said nothing as she dragged Dizzy up the stairs with a serious look on her face. "P-Pinkie, cut it out." Upon reaching the top floor, Pinkie and Dizzy saw both Cakes standing just outside their bedroom in each others arms. Mrs. Cake quickly push her husband away the second she noticed Pinkie and Dizzy.

"P-P-Pinkie!" she said nervously. "W-What are you doing up here?!"

"Compensation." she said seriously before opening her bedroom door and throwing Dizzy inside by his ear. The sound of his body crashing into something filled the hallway. "If I can't have cider, then i'll get something else to quench my thirst." Walking inside, she closed the door; although it cracked open a bit after she did so.

"Poor bastard." Carrot said; referring to Dizzy's situation. He turned back to his wife with a mischievous look on his face. "Now, where were we."

****************************

Downstairs, the party went on with everypony dancing; except Twilight and Starlight. The two mares sat on the sidelines and watched everypony else. "Too bad Sunburst couldn't make it." Twilight said.

"Yeah, Cadence has him on important assignment he couldn't talk about." Starlight replied. "Kinda makes me wonder what it is."

"I'm sure he'll tell you about it once he's finished." Twilight reassured. Twilight looked around and noticed that Pinkie was missing. "Hey, where's Pinkie? Don't tell me she escaped."

"No. Both me and Dizzy made her pinkie promise not to get anywhere near the cider." Starlight explained.

"Whoa, that's dirty." Twilight replied with a chuckle.

"Yeah." Starlight said with a giggle. "After I released her, she grabbed Dizzy by the ear and drug him off; saying that she need compensation or something." Twilight laughed hard; knowing what that meant for poor Dizzy. He's gonna be in for a long, hard ride. "You know, now that I think about it, I haven't seen Mr. and Mrs. Cake since their dance."

"I wonder where they went." Twilight said as she looked around.

"Where who went?" Spike asked as she approached the mares with a plate of haydogs.

"Mr. and Mrs. Cake." Starlight answered. "We haven't seen them since their dance. Think you could go look for them, Spike?"

"Yeah, since this is Mrs. Cake's birthday, she should be the first one to get a piece of her cake." Twilight added. Spike wasn't sure if he should go looking for the Cakes. He figured that maybe the two of them wanted some time alone; like most married couples do. Spike believed it'd be best to leave them alone, but he really wanted a piece of that cake. With a sigh, he agreed to find them; handing over his plate of haydogs to Twilight; telling her not to eat any of it before leaving. Spike went into the front lobby then into the kitchen and found no signs of them.

"Maybe, they're upstairs." he thought. As Spike made his way upstairs, he heard loud female grunts and moans along with a male voice pleading for mercy coming from Pinkie's room. He didn't want to look, but curiosity got the better of him. Spike slowly walked over to the cracked open door and peeked inside. There he saw Pinkie, naked, on top of Dizzy bouncing her hips up and down at a frantic pace as her massive breasts swayed. She placed a hand over his mouth to shut up his annoying pleas as she and the bed rocked.

Upon seeing them, Spike could feel his urges start to build up. He moved away from the door; stumbling around a bit as he tried to compose himself. Gritting his teeth and grabbing his head, Spike moved down the hallway and leaned up against a door that flew open causing him to fall into a bedroom. Lifting his head up, saw Mr. Cake spooned behind his wife thrusting in as out of her in soft rhythm. The mare moaned her husband's name as he grabbed one of her massive orbs that rivaled Pinkie's and squeezed it as her thick plot jiggled with each thrust he made.

Spike's urges went into overdrive. He could no long keep himself sane as his eyes started to glow. The bright light from Spike's eyes caught Mrs. Cake's attention as she lifted her her head and saw the dragon staring hungrily at her.

"AAAAAHHHHHHH!" she shrieked as she attempted to cover herself up.

"Honey, what......." Carrot started.

"S-Spike......WANT!" Spike growled.

Chapter 2

"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"

Mrs. Cake's shriek could be heard throughout Sugar Cube Corner. Everypony downstairs stopped what they were doing instantly. "W-What in tarnation was that?!" asked Applejack.

"That sounded like Mrs. Cake." Rarity answered. "Did something happen?"

"I'll find out." Twilight said before teleporting away. The purple alicorn reappeared upstairs where she heard Mrs. Cake's voice. She ran over to the bedroom where she saw Spike furiously groping and sucking the mare's breasts as she squirmed under him.

"S-SPIKE PLEASE!" she yelled as she tried to push the dragon off. "WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?!" Mrs. Cake didn't want to admit it, but the way Spike was handling her actually started to feel good. It took everything she had not to moan in pleasure. She IS a married mare after all. The only one who should be allowed to touch her this way is her husband......who is currently hanging by his neck from the ceiling Spike punched him through. Twilight used her magic to pulled the lust driven dragon off the chubby mare who quickly grabbed the sheets to cover herself up.

"T-Twilight! What's going on?!" came Pinkie's voice. The pink mare entered the bedroom wearing nothing but a pair of baby blue lace panties. She gasped as she saw Spike struggling to break free from Twilight's magical grasp and Mrs. Cake covered up in bed. "Oh gosh, Mrs. Cake, did he........" she started.

"N-No....but....what's wrong with him?" she asked. "I've never seen him like this before."

"Pinkie, you better explain things to her." Twilight suggested. "I'll........take cake of Spike." With seconds, both Twilight and Spike disappeared just as Pearl entered the room.

"Hey what's going on here?" he asked. Both Pinkie and Mrs.Cake screamed before Pearl exited the room via Pinkie's fist. His head went straight into the wall of the hallway; his body laid unresponsive as Rarity and the others showed up. Seeing Pinkie wearing nothing but a pair of panties, Fluttershy and Applejack covered Big Mac's eyes before he had a chance to see anything.

"Pinkie, put some clothes on fer Celestia's sake!" Applejack yelled.

****************************

Celestia stood on the balcony outside her room and stared up at the night sky; light from the full moon causing her light pink nightgown to become transparent. She was so filled with fear knowing that Stargazer was out there, planning, waiting for the right time to strike. She couldn't take it; knowing that at any point in time, that unicorn could attempt to finish what he started and kill her precious baby dragon. Unable to take it anymore, Celestia's horn glowed and she teleported away just as a maid began knocking on her door.

Celestia reappeared within the friendship castle where she heard a female scream. "Twilight?" she said. She used her magic again to teleport to the upstairs hallway where the screaming was louder. She ran over to Twilight's bedroom where she saw the purple alicorn being pounded by Spike from behind; her perfectly round plot jiggled with each thrust he made. Her large breasts jiggled under her as her fingers dug into the sheets. Both she and Spike roared as they had their umpteeth orgasm of the night. Twilight collapsed onto the bed as Spike prepared to go another round.

"Twilight." Celestia said; catching her attention.

"C-C-Celestia." she struggled to say. Celestia grabbed the straps of her nightgown and pulled them over her shoulders; causing the entire fabric to slide off her voluptuous, thick body. Wearing nothing but her pair of red lace panties, she moved over to the bed and caught Spike's attention. The dragon growled hungrily as his second mate seductively crawled into bed; her massive tits jiggling with each movement she made.

"I'll take from here, Twilight, you rest." she said as Spike grabbed her. Moving Celestia onto her back, the first thing Spike did was bury his head in between her massive pillows; squeezing and sucking them as much as he liked. Celestia gasped and giggled and squirmed underneath her "son"; placing both hands on his head as he ravished her tits. Celestia enjoyed the way Spike handles her chest. Unlike most stallions who just mangles them, Spike was somehow both forceful and gentle with them at the same time; allowing her to get some enjoyment out it as well. Spreading her legs a bit, Spike positioned himself over her as he continued on. Soon grinding against her marehood which caused her to let out a heavy groan.

Celestia could feel herself getting wet down there as Spike released one of her tits from his mouth with a loud "pop". He moved down a bit and grabbed her panties; pulling them off her and tossing them over his shoulder onto the floor. Spreading her legs, Spike positioned his member next to her entrance, and in one move, pushed all the way inside her. Celestia moaned out Spike's name as he entered her; soon grabbing the sheets as he started thrusting. Spike growled hungrily at Celestia's jiggling tits; soon burying his face between them once again. Spike soon started to form a nice rhythm as Celestia pushed her breasts together to keep his head between them. She couldn't help but compare Spike to the many "lovers", or rather, "partners", she's had over the years; mostly during her estrus cycle. Each stallion she'd slept with could never bring her as much pleasure as Spike was giving her right now; she'd be lucky if she felt anything at all. It would almost always end as soon as it began. She believed the longest any stallion held out with her was 3 minutes. Meanwhile, Spike could just continue on and on until she passed out from multiple orgasms, and then keep going afterwards.

Speaking of which, Spike finally removed his head from between her massive pillows as he picked up the pace again. Celestia started panting and moaning as Spike went deeper into her. "It feels so amazing, Spike." she moaned. "Don't stop."

Spike grabbed her arms and held them at her side as his movements increased; her breasts jiggling even faster as she moaned his name louder. After a while, Celestia was flipped over onto her hands and knees and was plowed from behind; her large, thick plot jiggling like jello with each thrust her dragon mate made. She buried her face in the pillow and groaned hard as Spike hit new depts. Gripping the sheets, the ruler of Equestria tried her best to hold on as long as possible, but that didn't seem like it was going to happen. Her inner walls started to tighten up around Spike's member as she bit down on the pillow; trying her best to hold back. With a soft growl, Spike slowly pulled back, then with no warning, rammed himself deep inside her. Celestia released a muffled scream as she came hard against Spike; spilling her juices over his lap and the sheets. Celestia's pussy was like a vice; squeezing the crap of Spike's "little buddy", and yet despite this, he continued plowing her. Celestia's face was completely buried in the pillow as she screamed for Spike to stop, however, with her voice being muffled, he couldn't hear it. She was still in the middle of her first orgasm when she felt a second one build up out of nowhere.

"I'M CUMMING AGAIN!" Celestia thought before her eyes rolled back. Seconds later, her entire body shook as though she was being possessed; another wave of her juices spilling all over Spike. The lust filled dragon continued thrusting into his mother/lover until he came as well; growling as he unleashed wave after wave of his seed inside her. Seconds later, Spike collapsed on top of Celestia; wrapping his arms around her and holding her close. Panting heavily, Celestia managed to open one eye and saw Twilight looking at her.

"Are you okay?" she asked.

"N-N-N-Never.......b-b-better." she struggled to say. Suddenly, Celestia let out a gasp as she felt Spike's member take on a new life. A soft, gentle growling sound came from Spike as he slowly kissed Celestia up her back, over her wings, and finally to the back of her neck where she shuttered. "S-Spike.....p-please." she begged. "L-L-Let m-me r-rest......a bit." Spike slowly pulled back, allowing Celestia to believe that he was pulling out, but that wasn't the case. Spile slowly eased himself back in; causing Celestia to tense up as she felt herself start to lose it. Squeezing her eyes shut and reburying her face in the pillow, Celestia came for a third time; although it wasn't as big as before. Spike released growl as he felt her inner walls squeeze and massage his member as he pulled back for another thrust.

Twilight put a stop to it when she gently placed a hand on his cheek. The lust filled dragon looked as his lover as she silently told him to stop. Spike looked down at an exhausted Celestia and slowly pulled out of her; staring at her large thick plot jiggling as her body twitched. Spike moved over to Twilight and pressed his lips against hers; pushing her onto her back as he spread her legs. "I.....I'm still a bit sore, Spike, please go slow." she requested. Spike answered her with a growl then slowly pushed inside her. Twilight moaned his name as he began moving in and out of her in a slow rhythm.

****************************

"And that's what's happening with Spike." said Pinkie. She and the others had just finished explaining to Mrs. Cake why Spike acted the way he did. She couldn't help but feel sorry for the young dragon. She knew that he would never knowingly attempt to force himself on her the way he did earlier; although it did feel good.

"Is there anything we can to help him?" she asked.

"There is, but......" Pinkie started.

"If Spike sleeps with enough mares, then he'll be able to fully control himself." Starlight jumped in. "He's already claimed Twilight, and............C-Celestia and Luna."

"WHAT!?" Mrs. Cake screamed. "He slept with the princesses?!"

"You have to understand, it's the only way to help him." Pinkie said.

"So, are you all planning to......" she started.

"Some of us are." said Fluttershy as she blushed a bit.

"Besides, if he claims us, then he can just reverse it once his cycle ends at the end of the summer." Rainbow said. Before the conversation could continue, the mares heard the sound of somepony coming up the stairs. Believing it was Big Mac, Fluttershy left the room to meet him, but stopped in her tracks when she saw who it was.

"B-Blueblood." she said. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for Dizzy." he answered. "Big Macintosh told me he was up here."

"Oh, I think he's in there." Fluttershy said; pointing at Pinkie's bedroom door. With a nod, the prince walked over to the bedroom and walked in. There he saw Dizzy, a naked skeletal mess. Rolling his eyes, Blueblood used his magic to clothed the poor stallion, then levitated him over his shoulder. Walking out into the hallway, Blueblood was confronted by Pinkie and the others.

"And where are you taking my Dizzy?" Pinkie asked.

"I have business to discuss with him and Pearl." he answered.

"What kinda business?" Starlight asked. "Does it have anything to do with whatever Princess Cadence has Starburst doing?"

"In a way, yes." he answered. "These two idiots could prove useful."

"Wait." Pinkie said as the prince started to walk off.

"Don't worry. You'll get him back soon." he said as he headed downstairs. As Blueblood left, a soft growling noise could be heard. It came from Applejack who was clenching her fists and trying her hardest to not jump at the prince. Rainbow stood in front of her marefriend in an attempt to prevent her from doing something foolish. It was clear from Mrs. Cake's point of view that Applejack was upset at Blueblood for some reason, but had no idea what it was. She thought it best not to bring it up right now, she was too worried about Spike to think about something that might be frivolous at best.

Downstairs, Blueblood was soon confronted by Big Mac who had his arms crossed as he stared the prince down. Blueblood could easily tell by the way he was standing that Big Mac wanted to know why he needed Dizzy and Pearl. Speaking of which, Pearl was being escorted out of the building by two royal guards; unsure of what was going on. Blueblood stared at Big Mac for a few seconds before sighing heavily. "Okay, okay, i'll tell you." he said. "Stargazer escaped." The red stallion's eyes widen in shock. "Your grandmother attacking Dragonia and putting Amethyst in danger caused Goliath to go crazy and blow up the prison island; allowing all of the prisoners, including Stargazer to roam free." Big Mac raised an eyebrow indicating that he wants to know what this has to do with Dizzy and Pearl. "Aside from Twilight, these two idiots were the closest to that unicorn. I figure that if anypony could help hunt him down, it's these two." Anger started to form on Big Mac's face. He knew what Stargazer had tried to do to Spike, and that he would attempt to do it again, especially now that he and Twilight are together. Ever since Big Mac found out that it was Stargazer who had Spike assaulted the night of the Gala and tried to kill him at the Summer Sun Celebrated, the number one thing he wanted to do was ring his neck, but unfortunately, he never got that chance. Stargazer was already being sentenced to prison by the time he found out.

"I believe that it goes without saying that this stays between us." Blueblood said. "It's best not to worry everypony right now." Blueblood started to leave, but was stopped when Big Mac placed a hand on his shoulder and gave him a look of determination. "You wanna help, don't you?"

Big Mac nodded.

"Fine." the prince sighed. "I'll call you if something comes up."

Big Mac nodded once again and let Blueblood go. He watched the prince leave; not realizing that Fluttershy was standing nearby and heard everything. The yellow pegasus stood there wide eyed with a hand over her mouth after discovering that Twilight's ex was out there somewhere possibly plotting to return and finish what he started.

****************************

An unknown amount of time went by before Spike finally passed out; leaving his two alicorn mates exhausted beyond belief. All three of them laid naked in bed looking up at the ceiling with Twilight on his left and Celestia on his right. Both mare's manes looked at though they had gotten into a fight with a hairdryer, and the hairdryer won; panting heavily as they tried to catch their breaths while sweating profusely. "Ho.....Holy.....S-Shit." Twilight struggled to say.

"N-Never.....i-in m-my life....." Celestia also struggled to speak.

Looking over at her former teacher, Twilight's eyes locked onto Celesta's massive breasts as the jiggled slightly each time she breathed. Placing her hands over her own, she started to wonder of her own chest would grow that size due to how much Spike keeps fondling them, not that she was complaining, she loved it when Spike gropes her the way he does. It's just that, she already had to buy a new bikini top when they were in Baltimare and the bras she normally wears were starting to get a bit uncomfortable for her; neither of which are cheap by the way. She could ask Rarity to make her some new ones when she got the chance, but the fabric she'll have to order to make will cost at least twice as much. Small grunts came from Celestia as she attempted to turn over to face Spike, but failed to do so. Twilight wanted to move as well, but found herself unable to do so as well. "S-Spike r-really......g-got us good." Twilight said. "I.....d-doubt we'll.....b-be m-moving......a-anytime.....s-s-soon." Celestia was too weak to say anything, instead opting to use what little strength she had left to levitate the covers over them. With nothing else to say or do, Celestia succumbed to her fatigue and soon entered the dream realm. Twilight was about to do the same thing when a thought entered her mind.

"Wait, what was Celestia doing here in the first place?" she thought before succumbing to her fatigue as well. Soon, all three lovers entered the dream realm.

Chapter 3

The next day, Applejack was out in the field with her brother and a yellow stallion with red hair a wearing normal farm attire. All three ponies were in the middle of harvesting apples when Applejack released a very loud, very angry growl before punching one of the apple trees; causing all apples on it to fall off. Applejack had been angry ever since she laid eyes on Blueblood last night. Since then, he's all she ever thought about. "Uh, Applejack?" said the yellow stallion. "Y'all alright, honey?"

"Yeah, Pa, just peachy." she growled as she went over to another tree. With a loud yell, the orange mare punch it; almost knocking the whole thing over as the apples fell from it.

"Honey, does this have to do with Granny?" he asked.

*BAM*

"NO!" she growled. "Why would y'all think that?!" Applejack has just kicked the tree; knocking it out of the ground.

"Oh, y'all know, just a thought." he said.

"He put Granny in a home." she growled. "A FUCKING HOME!" Applejack picked up the tree and broke it over her knee; throwing one piece of it out of the field. The yellow stallion sighed as he walked over to Applejack placing an arm around her. He could clearly see that his daughter was upset at losing Granny Smith, but it was a punishment that had to be done. She invaded a foreign country, assaulted two members of the royal family, and nearly caused a second "Grand War", and on top of that, she got Appleblood shot. Truth be told, they did the same thing first when Spike was attacked, but that matter was resolved diplomatically.......sort of. Deep down, she knew that was a punishment that Granny deserved, but that didn't mean she agrees with it. They're many other ways Blueblood could've handled it, take away all her guns, put her under house arrest, force her to vote democrat; anything other than putting her in a home would have sufficed.

Not that far from them, Big Mac was having his own moment of anger. After finding out the Stargazer escaped, the red stallion has done nothing but worry about what might happen if they fail to find him. He could go after Spike and try to kill him, or worse, do what most psychotic ponies would do when they can't be with the one they obsess over, and that's commit murder-suicide. No, Stargazer is too egotistical to go that far, but he could attempt to take Twilight by force. Yeah, that's exactly what he might do; rape Twilight. Just the thought of him hurting one of his friends caused Big Mac's fighting spirit to rise. White aura began surrounding his body as he growled. All he wanted right now was too get his hands on Stargazer and make him pay for what he put Twilight, Spike, and everypony else through. Later tonight, he's gonna put in some training time to prepare himself for a major fight with the unicorn.......if it comes to that.

****************************

Twilight and Celestia slowly moved out of bed; being very careful not to wake Spike. The two naked mares giggled at their dragon lover before gathering up their clothes. "We should go to my room and let Spike sleep in." Twilight suggested. Celestia agreed and grabbed Twilight's hand as her former student lit up her horn. In a flash, the two naked mares teleported away to Twilight's bedroom where they didn't have to worry about waking Spike.

"So, how did you know we would be here?" Twilight asked.

"Oh, you know, mother's intuition." Celestia answered; not wanting to reveal the reason why she came over. Twilight raised an eyebrow, but soon shrugged it off; believing that she wanted to be closer to Spike after what happened in Baltimare.

"Well in any case, we should probably shower up." Twilight suggested. "We smell like sex."

Celestia chuckled and agreed with her. Twilight went over to her dresser and pulled two pairs of towles; saying it'd be quicker of they showered together. With another wave of magic, both Twilight and Celestia teleported away.

Sometime had passed before Spike finally woke up with a groan. "Ugh! What happened last night?" he groaned as he rubbed his head. "And why am I naked." It was then everything started to come back to him. He remembered Twilight asking him to look for Mr. and Mrs. Cake and he wound up walking in on them. Extreme fear started to form on his face. "Oh no, please tell me I didn't." Spike got out of bed and grabbed some clothes before running out of the room. He ran as fast as he could through the castle until he made it outside. He just had to make it to Sugar Cube Corner to see if his suspicions were true; though he hoped with all his heart they weren't. Spike ran throughout Ponyville as fast as his legs could carry him until he finally reached his destination. Approaching the door, Spike froze. His body started trembling a bit at the thought of what Mrs. Cake's reaction might be once she saw him. Would she be mad at him, would she hate him, would she be scared of him? These questions plagued Spike's mind until he opened the door and walked in. At first it didn't look like anypony was here, until he heard somepony in the back. Spike swallowed hard and slowly made his way to the kitchen where he saw Mrs. Cake putting something in the oven.

Spike swore his heart stopped for a moment upon looking at her. Fear started to take over as Spike found himself unable to confront her; standing there like a statue wondering on what to do next before Mrs. Cake turned around and saw him. "Spike!" she said surprised. Immediately, she remembered what Pinkie and the others told her about Spike being unable to control himself when his lust takes over. She also remembered how Spike groped her like a mad-dragon and how he knocked her husband through the ceiling. She felt bad for him. First, his heart gets broken, then his life winds up in danger, twice, and now he has to constantly fear whether or not he may have harmed somepony. A warm smile appeared on her face as she set everything down and walked over to Spike. "Spike." she started. "I know about your cycle."

"I did it, didn't I?" he started to panic. "I.....I ra......"

"No you didn't, Spike." she reassured as she hugged him. "I know you would never knowingly hurt me, or anypony else for that matter." Mrs. Cake's reassurance seemed to work as Spike calmed down a bit. She decided not to tell him what he did to her husband or the fact that he did indeed grope her; the poor dragon's been through enough, although, it did feel good to have him sucking her breasts like that. Speaking of breasts, Spike melted into the warm motherly embrace Mrs. Cake was giving him. The soft, warm feeling of her breasts reminded Spike of Celestia whenever she held him; albeit without the smothering. "Feel better, Spike?" Mrs. Cake asked. Spike nodded; nuzzling into her as his eyes flashed.

"Oh, Spike, I wish there was something I could to help." she thought as Spike's arms wrapped around her. With a gasp she looked down and saw Spike looking at her with glowing eyes. At that point, Spike released a small growl and grabbed Mrs. Cake's luscious plot. "S-Spike!" she said in shock. Grabbing his arms, she tried to pull him off, but he wasn't budging. "Spike, please, come back." she pleaded. Spike responded by burying his face in between her breasts while groping her plot. Mrs. Cake unwillingly let out a moan as she stumbled back against the wall as Spike continued.

"SPIKE, MRS. CAKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING!" screamed a voice. Standing in the doorway of the kitchen was Pinkie Pie; wearing a shocked look on her face.

"P-Pinkie.....help." Mrs. Cake moaned as Spike picked up one of her legs so he could grind himself against her. Pinkie ran to Spike and attempted to pull him off, but he wasn't budging; going so far as to push her away with his tail. There was only one other method she could use to stop him, but knew what that would mean later on down the line. She'd seen it happen when she ran into Twilight back at the hotel. The poor mare could hardly walk after her session with him, but if she didn't do it, then Spike will wind up claiming Mrs. Cake by force. Pinkie was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Mrs. Cake shriek. Spike ripped off her apron and lifted up both her shirt and bra causing her large breasts to bounce free. The dragon took one of her nipples into his mouth and started sucking on it hard while grinding even harder against her; making Mrs. Cake moan his name out loud.

With no choice, Pinkie ran to the sink, filled up a bowl of cold water, and ran over to Spike; splashing him with it and causing the dragon to revert back to normal. "W-Wha......" he said before Pinkie pulled him into an embrace; giving Mrs. Cake time to fix herself. Spike had no idea what happened; just that he was being held by Pinkie who had tears in her eyes.

"That's it, we can't wait any longer." she thought.

****************************

Twilight and Celestia had finished their shower and were now in her bedroom. Twilight put on one of her normal outfits while Celestia simply conjured up some formal attire to wear. "By the way, Twilight." she giggled. "I believe some of Spike's habits may have rubbed off on you."

"What do you mean?" Twilight wondered.

"Well, I couldn't help but noticed that you kept staring at body while we were in the shower." Celestia giggled again. A huge blush appeared on Twilight's face and she quickly looked away from her former teacher. Twilight had always wanted a perfect body like Celestia. Twilight had an amazing figure that any stallion would drool over, it's just that compared to Celestia, she felt like a child. When she turned into an alicorn, Twilight thought her body would change along with growing a pair of wings, but to her disappointment, it didn't. Even still, Twilight still had a fair share of stallions fawning over her; especially Star.....

"Oh no, not again." Twilight thought as images of her ex-coltfriend filled her mind.

"Twilight, is something wrong?" Celestia asked; her face forming a worried look. Twilight looked over at Celestia and reluctantly answered.

"It's......it's Stargazer." she said; earning a light gasp from Celestia. Did she know that he escaped? Did he attempt to contact her? The ruler of Equestria wondered this as Twilight continued. "Ever since we got back home, he's been plaguing my mind as of late. Just about anything causes me to start thinking about him."

"Twilight.....are you.....still in love with him?" Celestia asked; afraid to hear the answer.

"I.....I don't know." Twilight answered. "I hate him for everything he did, but.....I.....I.....I can't help but miss him." Suddenly, tears started flowing down Twilight's face.

"Twilight." Celestia whispered as she moved closer to Twilight; pulling her into a hug. She hated this feeling. Although she was with Spike, Twilight still wanted to be with Stargazer; she was still in love with him, even though she doesn't want to admit it. She clung to Celestia as her heart ached thinking about both Spike and Stargazer. Celestia understood how she was feeling. Stargazer was her first love and nopony forgets their first love that easy. As she held Twilight, Celestia's mind started to wonder about Spike and if he was feeling the same way; even though his heart was broken well before Twilight's was.

"I.....I don't know if I can do this anymore." she said. "Oh, who am I kidding, I know I can't."

"Do what?" Celestia asked.

"Keep being Spike's mate." she answered. "I thought I was doing this to help him, but it's clear that i'm doing this for myself. It's not fair to him."

"Twilight.........." Celestia was about to say something to reassure Twilight when somepony started knocking on her door.

"Twilight, you in there?!" said Starlight. Twilight and Celestia broke the embrace with Twilight wiping the tears from her eyes. She went to answer the door where she saw that Starlight had a worried expression on her face.

"Starlight, what is it?" she asked.

"Twilight, Pinkie wants us to meet at Sugar Cube Corner." Starlight explained. "It's about Spike."

"Oh, it's about getting him under control, right?" she said.

"Yeah, she wants to do it as soon as possible." Starlight explained. "Since, she was forced to splash water on him earlier."

"WHAT!" screamed both Twilight and Celestia. Starlight was shocked to see that the princess was here as well. With the two of them staring at her, Starlight figured she'd better explain what happened and fast.

****************************

"I love being a unicorn." said a red stallion as he stood out on the balcony of his hospital room. "Magic fixes everything."

"Not everything." said a female voice. "It couldn't get Princess Twilight Sparkle to bang you, could it, Sentinel."

"Grrr, SHUT UP, AQUA!" he yelled as he turned back to her. Sentinel's entire crew were all gathered around Ebony's bedside playing a card game. While Sentinel used magic to fully heal himself, Ebony wanted to heal up the natural way. "IT WAS A MINOR SETBACK, THAT'S ALL!" Sentinel continued. "IF THAT LIZARD HADN'T ESCAPED, TWILIGHT WOULD'VE BEEN CLAWING BY BACK AND BEGGING FOR MORE!"

"Whatever you say, dumbass." Aqua said as the other chuckled.

Sentinel growled and turned away from them. "I swear, i'll make Twilight mine if it's the last thing I do." he thought as he stared out into what used to be a city. "That lizard will pay."

Chapter 4

Fillydelphia, home of the famous Filly HayCheese Sandwich, but this is not time for eating, this is business. Blueblood, Shining Armor, Dizzy, Pearl, and a few guards came to this city in order to find any trace of Stargazer. Pearl and Dizzy revealed to Blueblood that Fillydelphia is his hometown, so if there's any place in Equestria he might return to, it's here. Upon arriving in the city, they were confronted with by paparazzi just aiming to get pictures of the prince. Blueblood did his best to ignore them and continued on with the others until they eventually came to a large house. "Is this it?" he asked.

"Y-yeah." Dizzy answered. "This is where Stargazer said he lived."

"Wait, I thought he lived near Ponyville." said Shining.

"This is his childhood home; before he moved to Ponyville." Dizzy explained. "I doubt he'd return there since that's the first place we'd look."

Blueblood looked over at Shining Armor and nodded. Shining motioned for his guards to move in and apprehend Stargazer. The guards readied their weapons and slowly walked onto the property. As they moved closer to the house, something caught Blueblood's eye. It looked at though it was some kind of wire that was stretch across..........

"GET DOWN!" he yelled as one of the guard's foot touched it.

*BOOOOOOOM*

The entire property exploded; sending shockwaves in throughout the neighborhood. Blueblood and the others were blown a few feet away while the guards were caught in a massive fireball. The entire house went up in flames; burning away at their very eyes.

"W-What the tartarus was that?!" yelled Pearl.

"A trap." Blueblood growled. "He set it up! He knew knew we'd come looking for him here!" Blueblood stood up and looked at the burning property. His anger started to rise as realized how close he came to meeting his end. "On your feet everypony, we're moving out."

"Wait, what about my guards?!" asked Shining. "We can't just leave them!"

"Shining, they're dead." the prince said with venom.

"D-Dead?" Shining said said with shock. "T-They can't be dead! You said nopony dies in this story!"

"No. I said nopony dies in the last one." he said. "This one has a "death" tag in it, the others didn't."

"But, why?" Shining asked.

"You're asking the wrong one." Blueblood said before turning away. "You got a problem with the direction this story's going, take it up with the writer's followers. They're the ones who had a problem with nopony dying during our time in Baltimare." As Blueblood walk away, Dizzy and Pearl simple looked at them; confused as to what they were talking about. Just then, the sound of somepony screaming in pure blood rage could be heard coming from the distance.

"P-Pinkie?" said Dizzy.

****************************

Pinkie sat in her room with an extremely pissed off look. She grumbled Blueblood's name over and over; causing concern from everypony else. She wasn't the only one, Applejack was doing the same thing; upset at the fact that Blueblood put her grandmother in a retirement home in Manetreal; the one thing she swore she would never do to her.

"Hey, Equestria to Pinkie and Applejack!" Rainbow said with snapping her fingers. "If you two don't mind, we should get started with this meeting."

Snapping away from her anger, Pinkie cleared her throat and began. "Okay, we need to confirm, besides Celestia, and Twilight, who here is willing to participate in "Operation Bang Spike"?" she asked. The only ones who raised their hands were Applejack, Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Pinkie herself. Rarity and Starlight opting out of doing it on the count that they didn't want to betray their lovers. It was also decided amongst them that if they decided to back out, then it wouldn't be held against them. "Okay, that's four of us and with Cadence that makes five." Pinkie said.

"Will it be enough?" asked Rainbow.

"It has to be." said Celestia. "He's......he's already claimed Twilight, Luna, and myself, so with five extra mares, Spike will have eight mates." A slight blush formed on Celestia's face as she started to remember her last night session with Spike.

"Okay, tonight is our Monthly Annual Slumber Party, we'll get him under control then." Pinkie said. "We have to, for Spike's sake."

There was a brief moment of silence amongst them before Twilight spoke up. "Pinkie, Starlight told us that you threw water on Spike to change him back, what happened?"

"Well....." Pinkie started. "From what Mrs. Cake told me, Spike was afraid that the he might've forced himself on her last night, which he kinda did. Mrs. Cake wanted him to feel better so she hugged him and well........that kinda set him off."

"So you threw water on him?!" Rainbow half yelled. "Do you have any idea what that'll do?!"

"I tried to pull him off, but he wouldn't budge." Pinkie defended. "I panicked. If it continued, he would've......you know." Pinkie didn't want to say it, but everypony knew what she meant. Spike would've unknowingly taken her by force. "That's why we have to do this as soon as possible. The next time he goes off, we might not be able to stop him." Once again there was another moment of silence between the mares. All of them thinking about Spike and how they failed to protect him last time. This time will be different. This time, they will be there every step of the way.

"I'll get in contact with Luna and Cadence and tell them what's happening tonight." Celestia said as she stood up. "The eight of us should be able to do this."

The mares all nodded to each other in agreement. Tonight, they put their plan into motion.

****************************

Before the girls started their meeting, Spike was sent to Sweet Apple Acres to help out with the family's harvest. He and Big Mac had a little competition in which Big Mac obviously won. Panting heavily by the barn, Spike struggled to stand. Both he and Big Mac had ran with from the field to the barn each pulling a wagon with loads of apples on it.

"Geez, I told you to go easy on him." came a female voice. Approaching them was a peach earth pony mare with an orange mane and tail. "You okay, Spike?"

"A-Ask m-me......that again......in about......20 years." he panted. The mare kneeled down and handed Spike a cup of juice which he took and drank slowly from it. "Ya think me being a dragon.......would be enough......to keep up with Big Mac." he said.

"Just sit back and rest." she said as she looked over at Big Mac. The red stallion chuckled nervously while rubbing the back of his head. "In any case, thanks for your help, Spike."

"Not a problem." he said. "So, is Applebloom doing okay?"

"Well, yes and no." the mare answered. "Her leg is healing nicely, but she's been a bit moody since Granny was sent away."

"AppleJack's been the same way." he said. "Why was Granny sent away?"

Big Mac and the mare looked at each other nervously. Neither one wanted to reveal the reason that Granny was sent away was because she started a war with another country in Spike's name. It was then a yellow stallion with a red mane and tail came up to them with a light jog. "Pear, son, we have a special delivery to make." he said. "We just got the order in, so we have to move if we want to deliver it in time."

"Who's the order for?" asked Pear.

"Some big wig in Canterlot." he answered. "Come on, we better get started." Big Mac and Pear both let out a sigh of relief at this interruption; Pear standing up and stuck out her hand to help up Spike.

"Mind giving us a hand, Spike?" she asked.

"Sure." he answered.

****************************

After everypony left Sugar Cube Corner, Pinkie and Mrs. Cake were in the kitchen about to start baking a cake for an order they received. The pair worked in silence for a while before Mrs. Cake spoke up. "So, you girls are gonna put your plan into motion tonight?"

"Yeah." Pinkie said as she mixed some ingredients together.

"Will it work?" Mrs. Cake asked.

"It has to." Pinkie answered. "Eight of us will be doing it with him, so it should be enough."

"If you do it, Spike will claim you as his until his cycle is over, right?" she said; earning a nod from Pinkie. "What if after his cycle is over, he decides not to release you. You know dragons are naturally greedy, so what if he decides to keep you all for himself?"

"We'll cross that road when we get to it, right now our main goal is to make sure Spike doesn't go crazy and go after any mare he comes across." she stated.

"Well, does Dizzy know about this?" she asked.

"Yeah, he knows, so does Big Mac." Pinkie explained. "They don't wanna see Spike hurt anypony either. Besides, it's just until the end of summer when his cycle ends, then he can reverse it." Mrs. Cake was unsure if it was going to be that easy. Part of her feared that Pinkie and the others were doing more harm than good to Spike; despite their well intentions.

****************************

Celestia sat alone in the throne room awaiting the arrival of her sister and Cadence. The conversating they were going to have was top secret so she ordered all guards to leave until their meeting was over. She didn't have to wait that long as Luna and Cadence entered the throne room. "Why have you called us, sister?" Luna asked. "Has Blueblood and Shining Armor found him yet?"

"Unfortunately, I haven't heard from either of them yet." Celestia said as she got up from her throne. "I called you here to talk about Spike. There's been another.......incident."

"What happen?" Cadence asked with a gasp.

"Spike's cycle was.......triggered.......and Pinkie was forced to slash water on him to snap him out of it." she explained with a blush; excluding the fact that she and Twilight had a powerful session with him last night. Luna and Cadence gasped at finding out water was splashed on Spike. They wonder how Celestia knew this, but figured that Twilight must've contacted her and told her the situation. "It's been decided that we're going to get Spike under control tonight before he unknowingly hurts somepony."

"So we have until tonight to prepare ourselves, huh." said Luna. "There's no telling how out of control he'll be once we set his cycle off."

"It's been a while since we've been to one of their slumber parties." said Cadence.

"So, at sundown we'll travel to Ponyville and get Spike under control." Celestia said with slight blush. Luna and Cadence were blushing as well. Luna, for remembering when Spike claimed her, and Cadence, for the fact that she was going to sleep with somepony who's basically her little brother. The three princesses stood there awkwardly for a while; all of them thinking about the event that was going to happen tonight.

****************************

At Sweet Apple Acres, Fluttershy landed in front of the barn where she saw Spike helping the family load up two carts of apples. "Hey, Spike, what's going on?" she asked.

"A huge order from Canterlot came in." he answered. "Bright Mac said that if we hurry, he'll carry both carts over there." As Spike placed another basket of apples on the cart, Big Mag came out of the barn holding two more in each arm. After placing them on the cart, both his parents exited the barn as well.

"That's the last of'em." said Bright Mac.

"You sure you don't want the boys here to help you?" Pear asked.

"Nah, ah got it." he said as he lifted both carts over his shoulders. "Ah should be back by sundown." After giving his wife a quick peck on the cheek, Bright Mac took off running at full speed.

"I swear, sometimes I feel like i'm married to a demi-god or something." Pear said as she turned to head inside. "Would you like something to drink, Spike?"

"Yeah, thanks." he said. Spike followed Pear inside the house; leaving Big Mac alone with Fluttershy. The yellow pegasus grabbed Big Mac's hand and led him away; inside the barn. Big Mac started to think that she wanted to have a little "fun" while they were alone. Truth be told, they haven't done it in a while, and he was starting to forget what it felt like. Once they were alone in the barn, Fluttershy turned to her coltfriend with a serious look on her face. Any thought Big Mac was having was instantly wiped from his mind.

"Big Mac, I know." she said. "I know about Stargazer. I overheard you and Blueblood talking about him last night. Is he....is he going to come back and hurt Spike?" A scared look formed on Fluttershy's face as she thought about what might happen to Spike with Stargazer on the loose; prompting Big Mac to wrap his arms around his marefriend. "He's gonna hurt Spike, is he?"

"Nope." Big Mac said as he held her tighter. "Ah won't give'em the chance."

****************************

"YOU WHAT!" Rarity screamed. She, Applejack, Rainbow, and Starlight all had shocked looks on their faces. "How could you still have feelings for that......stallion?!"

Twilight lowered her head.

"Does Spike know?" Starlight asked.

Twilight shook her head. "I haven't said anything to him; we've been a little.......busy.......since we got back." A slight blush formed on Twilight face as she thought about all the......."activities".......she and Spike shared.

"So what are you gonna do?" Rainbow asked. "Don't tell me your gonna take him back?"

"WHAT, NO!" Twilight said in shock. "I.......I......." It was hard for Twilight to put into words. She didn't want to be with Stargazer after he betrayed her and tried to kill Spike, but at the same time she wanted to see him again; to hear his voice once more. Twilight started to hate herself over this. Why would anypony want to be with somepony who tried to have one of their closest friends killed; then try to kill them themselves?

"Yo, Twilight, Equestria to Twilight!" Rainbow said; catching her attention. "I asked what are going to do about Spike?"

Twilight lowered her head once again for a few seconds before coming to a decision. "First, we need to get Spike's urges under control, after that, i'll figure something out." Rainbow and the others looked at each other. They knew that getting Spike's urges under control should be their top priority, but Twilight's still lingering feelings for Stargazer had them concerned. If Twilight decided to take him back, then she'll have to get Spike to remove the mark he gave her and ultimately break his heart. It'll be a worse insult than what "she who shall not be named" did to him; especially since he tried to kill him.....twice.

"We should be getting ready." Twilight suggested. "Spike will be home before we know it." The mares agreed with Twilight, although they wanted this conversation to continue. The fact that Twilight still had feelings for somepony who tried to have Spike killed was inconceivable. As Twilight started to walk away, Starlight asked a question that caused everypony to freeze where they were. "So, who's gonna be the first one to take on Spike?" Spike was just recently doused with water; meaning the next time his urges are set off, he'll possibly wreck somepony. All five mares started to shuttered at the thought.

****************************

Finally being discharged from the hospital, Sentinel walked out of the building where he ran into Moonstone and Gravel who were waiting for him. "I'm back in action!" he declared.

"That's good to know." Gravel said sarcastically. "Now come on, we have lots of planning to do for the next games."

"Not yet." Sentinel said with a smirk. "I have important duties to attend to first." Moonstone face palmed with Gravel growled. The two stallions knew exactly what their idiot friend was talking about.

"Dude, no." Moonstone said sternly. "You're lucky you weren't brought up on charges after what you did."

"But I wasn't." Sentinel countered. "Besides, I was soooo close to nailing that."

"So you're planning on heading to Ponyville and try the same shit again?" Gravel asked.

"No, no." Sentinel said. "This time, i'm going to use something else to get Princess Twilight in bed with me." Sentinel walked passed his friends with a determined look on his face.

"Where are you going?!" Moonstone asked.

"Where do you think?" Sentinel answered. "Ponyville. I'm gonna claim what's mine." As Sentinel walked off, Gravel and Moonstone remained where they were; both were contemplating on whether or not they should follow him. They knew talking him out of it was pointless, but if he did something stupid, then being put in the hospital next time might not happen. The two stallions looked as each other before sighing heavily.

"Come on, let's go make sure he doesn't get himself killed." Gravel groaned as he and Moonstone followed after their "fearless leader".

Chapter 5

Fluttershy and Big Mac stood in the middle of the family orchard as late afternoon hit. "Big Mac?" Fluttershy said after a long period of silence. "T-Tonight, we're gonna do it with Spike."

"Hmm." he said as he felt her grab his hand. Fluttershy gave it a small squeeze as she thought about what was going to happen tonight. She's gonna give herself to Spike after he was doused with water. It scared her just thinking about what he was going to do to her once he's set off. She's already caught a glimpse of what he could do twice now. Once at their slumber party and again at the fairground in Baltimare where groped her. "I-If I do this, then we won't be able to be together until the end of the summer when Spike's cycle ends."

"Eeyup." he said.

"I know it's to help Spike, but I don't think I handle being away from you for that long." she confessed. Big Mac chuckled before slightly booping her on the nose. This caused her to forget about her worries as she knew it was only going to be temporarily. Once Spike's cycle is over, he can remove the mark and she and Big Mac will be able to be together again. Spike wouldn't keep Fluttershy all to himself when he knows she's with Big Mac, right. No, he wouldn't. Spike knew she and Big Mac were together, and that he'll do the right thing and free her once his cycle ends. Fluttershy chose to no longer think about what was going to happen tonight and instead spend when little more time she had with Big Mac. "So, what you gonna do after I leave?" she asked. A serious look appeared on the red stallion's face as he looked down to his left hand and made a fist.

"You're going to train?" Fluttershy asked.

"Eeyup." he answered.

"You're preparing to confront Stargazer, aren't you?" she asked.

"Eeyup." Big Mac answered with determination; clenching his fist. Stargazer wasn't like any of the ponies Big Mac fought in the past, he was actually very skilled in magic. The red stallion knew that if he was going to confront him, he had to be well prepared for it and not just go in gun blazing. His training will start as soon as Fluttershy leaves for Twilight's castle. He'll need to prepare both mentally and physically for the upcoming fight as he was sure Stargazer wasn't gonna hold back.

****************************

In a local bar, Blueblood held the bartender in a backroom where he interrogated him. "If I find out you've been harboring a fugitive......" he said.

"I'm telling you the truth, he's not here!" the bartender yelled. "I haven't seen him since yesterday!"

"Did he say where he was going?!" the prince asked.

"He only said that he was going to get back what was taken from him!" the bartender answered. With a growl, Blueblood released the bartender and stormed out of the backroom and headed to the front where Shining and the others were waiting for him. "Contact Stardust and Sunburst!" he said. "Tell them I want perimeters from here to Ponyville, also, we need to tell Celestia of the situation!"

"What's going on?" Pearl asked.

"That son of a bitch is on his way to Ponyville as we speak!" Blueblood yelled as he pulled out his phone. "If we act now, we could possible catch him before he makes it there!"

"Who are you calling?" asked Dizzy.

"I'm letting a certain somepony in Ponyville know of the current situation." he answered as he walked passed them and headed outside. Shining Armor did the same thing; pulling out his cellphone and calling up Stardust. They had to hurry; no telling how close or far Stargazer was from Ponyville.

****************************

Sentinel, Gravel, and Moonstone sat in the ruins of a diner that surprisingly was still active. Surrounding the building, were rows and rows of Sentinel's fanmares; all of which were eagerly awaiting for him to address them. "So what are you planning?" Moonstone asked.

"First, i'll lure that lizard away from the princess, then i'll make my move on her." Sentinel answered. Both Gravel and Moonstone stared blankly at the stallion as they tried to process what was said to them.

"You've tried that, and look what happened." Moonstone said. "You and Ebony were put in the hospital and over half the city was destroyed in the process."

"But I was so close to smashing that." Sentinel argued. " You have no idea how close I was. I can still feel the softness of her tits."

"You're obsessed, dude." said Moonstone. "You're gonna get yourself killed. Just accept the fact that it's not gonna happen between you two."

"NEVER!" Sentinel yelled. "NO MARE HAS EVER REJECTED ME! DO HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT THAT FEELS LIKE! I'M GONNA MAKE PRINCESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE MINE EVEN IF IT KILLS ME!" In the corner of the ruined diner, sat a brown stallion sipping the last of his coffee. He looked over at Sentinel and the others and let out a heavy sigh.

"He'll never learn." he said before getting up to leave.

****************************

With the sun starting to set, Fluttershy and Spike were about to leave Sweet Apple Acres; Fluttershy giving Big Mac one final hug and kiss before leaving. That would be that last time the two of them would ever do that until the end of summer. Big Mac had given Spike a thumbs up; silently telling him good luck which confused the dragon. Spike had no idea of the events that were about to unfold later on tonight so just took it as Big Mac telling him that he and the others will be meeting online tonight for a raid. Grabbing his hand, Fluttershy led Spike away from Sweet Apple Acres just when Big Mac's phone went off.

"So, you coming by the castle later?" Spike asked.

"Yeah, but i need to stop by my cottage to get a few things first." Fluttershy answered with a slight blush. "Tell Twilight i'll see there soon, okay." Spike nodded as the two of them went their separate ways. Spike traveled through Ponyville watching ponies close up shop for the day. It didn't take him long before he came across Sugar Cube Corner where he saw Pinkie exit the building carrying a backpack. The pink pony's eyes lit up upon seeing Spike.

"Hey, Spike!" she called. Pinkie light jogged over to the dragon who did his best to avoid staring at her jiggling chest. Pinkie wrapped her arms around his; giggling as she did so. "You heading back to the castle?" she asked.

"Y-Yeah." he answered.

"Mind if I walk with you?" she asked. "I'm heading there also." Giving Spike's arm a slight squeeze, the two of them started walking off in the direction of the castle. Mrs. Cake looked out the window and saw them leaving; wishing them both good luck on what was about to transpire later. Upon reaching the castle, Spike and Pinkie saw a large carriage being carried by to pegasus guards flying through the sky on their way towards Canterlot.

"Hey, is that....?" Spike started.

"Looks like Celestia, Luna, and Cadence made it." Pinkie said. Spike had a confused look on his face. Was Pinkie expecting them to show up? Did Twilight know about it? Pinkie pulled on Spike's arm; practically dragging him all the to the castle where they entered. "WE'RE HERE!" Pinkie announced catching everypony's attention. Spike looked around and saw Twilight and the other mares along with Celestia, Luna, and Cadence. All the mares looked at him with smiles on their faces; leaving Spike to wonder what was going on.

"Welcome back, Spike." Twilight said.

"Hey, what's going on? A party?" he asked.

"Well......something like that." Celestia said with a giggle.

****************************

The full moon lit up most of the forest; making it a bit easier for the guards of Canterlot and the Crystal Empire to scan the area from the sky and ground. High up on a rocky cliff overseeing the search were Sunburst and a cream colored earth pony mare with a teal mane and tail wearing yellow guard armor. "Blueblood and Shining Armor will be here soon, Stardust." Sunburst said.

"Are you sure Stargazer's in the area?" she asked.

"Positive." he answered. "My magical detector is picking a strong reading close by. It has to be him." Down into the forest, Canterlot and Crystal Empire guards searched the area with the utmost caution. They weren't dealing with a normal criminal, they were dealing with a stallion who attacked the son of their ruler and the saviour of an empire. A stallion who've already killed some of their own in Fillydelphia. A stallion who won't hesitate to kill them if given the chance. They had to make sure not to give him that chance. Few guards ahead, trekked slowly and carefully when one of them saw something moving in the distance. At first he thought it was an animal, but then the figure started glowing an orange color. The guard pulled out a flashlight and shined on the figure to see who it was. He managed to see the figure's face for a split second before an orange blast was fired right at him. With quick reflexes, the guard jumped to the side as the blast zipped passed and exploded behind him.

"I FOUND HIM!" the guard yelled as he got up and gave chase. Nearby guards quickly joined in the pursuit; readying their weapons for the likely event they'll need to defend themselves. A bright light soon shined on Stargazer by the one of the Pegasi flying over head; making it that much easier for the guards to locate him. With a glowing horn, Stargazer fired at the pegasus guard; knocking him out of the sky. With the spotlight off him, Stargazer could hide from his pursuers, that is, if it wasn't for the fact that right in front of him were a group of guards waiting for him. Stargazer stopped running and prepared to attack.

"STARGAZER, YOU'RE UNDER ARREST!" yelled one of the guards. "GIVE UP!"

"Not on your life." Stargazer relied as both fists began to glow. "Which ends tonight." Stargazer fired two magical blasts from his fist; blowing up the guards in his way. This action caused extreme anger to the guards behind him. One of them leapt into the air with his sword and came down to deliver the a killing blow, but Stargazer quickly put up a barrier to block the attack. Letting down the barrier, Stargazer grabbed the guard by the neck and squeezed it hard. "You will not get in my way." he said before slamming him to the ground. Grabbing the guard's sword and holster, Stargazer now had a weapon to use against a certain dragon he hopes to come across. Turning around he saw more and more guards coming at him. Before moving on, he'll have to deal with them first.

Back up on the rocky cliff, Stardust and Sunburst watched intensively as they heard the sounds of a battle going on. "They've found him." Stardust said. "As long as they're careful, they should be able to take him down."

"Stargazer won't go down that easily." said Sunburst. "He'll most likely use every dirty trick in the book to get away. Not to mention that he won't hesitate to kill.....not even for a second."

*BOOOOOM*

A large explosion of magical energy could been seen in the distance. Stardust was sure that some of her subordinates were just killed. With anger building up, she gripped her sword and turned towards Sunburst. "Teleport us there, NOW!" she demanded. Reluctantly, Sunburst grabbed her arm, and with the glowing of his horn, teleported the two of them in the middle of a decimated area. Bodies of fallen ponies were scattered all over; some of them were still alive, the rest were unknown. Stardust couldn't control her anger any longer. "STARGAZER!" she roared as she charged at him. Unsheathing her sword, Stardust went for an attack against only to have him parry it with the sword he took from one of the guards. Both swords clashed against one another over and over until both wielders pushed against each other in a show of strength.

"S-Stand down, Stargazer!" Stardust demanded.

"Make me, bitch." he said before tripping her up. Stardust fell on her back; giving Stargazer the chance to deliver a killing blow. He wouldn't get the chance. Sunburst hit with a blast of magical energy; sending him into a tree. Stargazer growled as she recovered; charging at the orange unicorn who put up and barrier to block the oncoming attack. As Stargazer powered up to blast Sunburst into next week, Stardust ran up behind him and locked her arms around his waist. In one move, she delivered a strong suplex to the unicorn stallion; slamming him on his head. Stargazer roared in pain as Stardust took fighting stance. "Earth pony bitch!" he groaned.

"I'll say it again, STAND DOWN!" she said.

"And i'll say again, MAKE ME!" he said as he fired a magical blast at her and Sunburst; sending the two of the flying. After hitting the ground hard, Sunburst groaned in pain as he tried to stand up, only to be kicked in the face by Stargazer; sending him on his back. Stargazer soon made his way towards Stardust with sword in hand; the look he wore made his intentions clear. The earth pony mare moved to get her sword, but Stargazer kicked it away before she could get it. The unicorn stallion then stomped his foot on her; causing her to let out a yelp of pain. "I won't let anypony get in my way." he said as he prepared to deliver the killing blow to her. "See you in Tartarus."

*CCCRRRAAAACCCKKK TTTHHHUUMMM*

A large sound of thunder and lightning filled the sky; catching everypony's attention. "What?!" Stargazer said as he turned around and looked up. A strange object with lightning surrounding it was coming at him at a fast pace. Taking this chance, Stardust moved from under his foot and got away from him just as he put up a barrier to block the oncoming object. Once the object his his barrier, it caused a massive explosion on impact; breaking Stargazer's barrier and sending him flying off in a random direction. Once the dust settled, both Sunburst and Stardust looked up and saw that the object was an ax. "W-What is that?" Stardust asked. At that point, the ax lifted off the ground and flew into the hand of its owner.

"B-BlueBlood!" Sunburst said.

"Where the Tartarus is he?!" he demanded. "STARGAZER!" The prince was beyond angry right now. Most of the royal guards were either seriously injured or worse and the stallion responsible for it had gotten away.

"My prince." came Stardust's voice. Blueblood looked over to her and saw her on one knee. "Forgive me, I couldn't........"

"Don't worry about it." he said in a calm voice; although he was still angry.

"But he got away." she said.

"He won't get far." he said as he reached down to help her up. A slight blush appeared on Stardust's face, but quickly disappeared once Shining Armor, Dizzy, and Pearl ran into the area. "Shining, you, Dizzy, and Pearl tend to the wounded."

"What are you gonna do?" Shining asked.

"I'm going after that bastard." he said before walking off.

Chapter 6

"H-HEY, WHAT IS THIS, LET ME GO!" Spike yelled as Luna and Twilight finished chaining his arms and legs to the bed. The chains themselves were a golden color infused with magic so that nopony, or dragon, could break free; unless the caster wanted them to. Try as Spike might, there was no breaking free from this. Looking up, Spike could see nine heavily blushing mares, some of them wearing nightgowns, looking at him. Celestia went over to sit next to him and caressed his cheek.

"Don't worry, Spike, you'll be in full control after we're done." she said with a hint of seduction. "Now, let's get you started." Celestia didn't give Spike a chance to respond as she started to remove her nightgown; her massive breasts bouncing free from their imprisonment. Spike quickly sealed his eyes shut and turned his head away as his urges started to build up. He started to thrash around a bit; trying his hardest not to lose control.

"Spike, it's okay." Twilight said softly as she moved closer to him. "Let it go." Spike gritted his teeth and released a growl before opening his now glowing eyes. With him now in this state, there was one question that needed to be answered.......who's going first? Before anypony could say anything, Celestia got up from the bed and allowed her nightgown to gracefully fall off her voluptuous body .

"I'll get him warmed up." she said as she slowly pulled off her panties. Now fully naked in front of everypony, she climbed into bed with Spike; Twilight and the others watched her with deeply redden faces. "Now, Spike, let's warm up." she said as she started to pull down his shorts.

****************************

Fluttershy entered the castle wearing her pink nightgown. She started to make her way upstairs where she saw Rarity and Starlight standing in the hallway right outside of Spike's bedroom. "Rarity, Starlight, what's going on?" she asked as she approached them.

"Oh, Fluttershy." Rarity said. "Didn't see you there."

"Did it start already?" she asked.

"Kinda." Starlight answered. "Twilight and the others are in her room trying to figure out who's going after Celestia."

"Celestia?" Fluttershy said with a bit of confusion.

"She said she wanted to....."warm Spike up" before any of the others got started." Rarity explained. "She's with Spike right now in his room."

"Is.....is that what you two were looking at?" Fluttershy asked with a deep blush appearing on her face. Rarity and Starlight said nothing; allowing their facial expression to do the talking for them. At that point, the three mares started to hear loud noises from Spike's room.

"OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT, OH SHIT, YEEEEEESSSSS, YEEEEESSSSSSS, JUST LIKE THAT BABY I'M GONNA CUM, I'M GONNA CUM, I'M CUUUUUUMMMMMIIIIIINNNNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!" Celestia screamed followed by a roar from Spike. All three mares stood still like statues as they heard Celestia's loud moans. Curiosity soon got the better of them as all three moved over Spike's door and peeked in. They saw Celestia laying on top of Spike panting heavily; exhausted from their recent activity. Her large thick ass twitching every now and then as her wings laid lazily across them.

"Oh, my." Fluttershy whispered as her face redden. Rarity and Starlight said nothing as they stared at both Spike and Celestia laying in bed. Moments later, Spike started to move his hips upward; ready for another go around. Celestia giggled and raised her hips up until Spike's member slipped out of her. Rarity, Starlight and Fluttershy all released loud audible gasps at the sight of Spike's member. They've never seen something so big before. Fluttershy didn't want to admit it, but Spike looked even be bigger than Big Mac. The three mares were so hypnotised with Spike's package that they didn't realize the door was slowly moving forward with them leaning against it.

"WHOA!" all three mares yelled as the fell in the room. Celestia turned to the doorway and saw the tree mares lying on the floor.

"Looks like we have company." Celestia said as she conjured up a robe. "I thought you two weren't participating."

"W-W-We aren't." Starlight stammered. "W-We just heard you screaming and........"

*GGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRR*

Starlight was cut off by a loud growl from Spike. The dragon was squirming around in his binding, his "little buddy" standing at full attention, and awaiting for another go around. "Please be patient, Spike." Celestia said as she rubbed his cheek. Spike responded with another loud growl as he attempted to get free. He could sense there were females close by and he wanted to mate with them no matter what. Unable to see Spike like this any longer, Fluttershy gathered as much courage she could muster and stood up with a determined expression. She allowed the light pink nightgown she wore to graciously fall off her voluptuous body; along with her pink lace panties. "Fluttershy." Celestia said surprised. With the princess and two of her friends staring at her, Fluttershy's face turned a deep red. Extremely embarrassed, she slowly made her way onto the bed and looked Spike in his glowing eyes. Memories of the time he groped her in back of the concession stand in Baltimare came back to her, the only difference is, back then she barely had any control over the situation, but with Spike bound to the bed, she'll be in control of the of everything.

"Are you sure, Fluttershy?" Celestia asked. "There's no turning back after this......at least not until the end of the season."

With a determined nod, Fluttershy moved over Spike and grabbed his member to align it with her marehood. "It's so big." she thought as she slowly descended on it. She tensed up once as she felt the tip rub against her folds. Spike, starting to get impatient, thrust his upward; forcefully entering inside her. Fluttershy's eyes widen as she lifted her head to let out a silent scream as her wings instantly spread. Tears started to flow from her eyes as she wasn't ready for Spike forced entry. So much for being in control.

"Spike, please, be gentle with her." Celestia pleaded. Spike responded by thrusting upward caused Fluttershy to bounce on his lap. The yellow pegasus could only gasp and huff as her body was being thrust into hard and fast. Fluttershy's nails dug into Spike's chest as she attempted to push herself off him. He was was so forceful in his movements, the poor mare couldn't keep up, or to be more precise, she never had a chance to leave the starting line. Seeing the obvious discomfort in Fluttershy's eyes, Celestia tried to get Spike to stop, or at the very least, slow down a bit, but nothing worked as there was only one thing on his mind right the moment. Suddenly, a thought entered in Celestia's mind. She wasn't sure if it was going to work but she had to at least give it a try. Leaning in close to Spike, she whispered to him. "Spike, please, you're hurting your future mate." Spike's thrusting instantly stopped as he released a soft growl; allowing Fluttershy to collapse on top of him; her large breasts now smashed against his chest. She started panting heavily as her body trembled. "Maybe we should get you off him so you could rest." Celestia suggested.

"N-No." Fluttershy argued. "I.....I can.....t-take it."

Burying her face in Spike's neck, Fluttershy slowly lifted her hips up, then slowly brought them down on Spike's lap; releasing her trademark squeak as she did so. She did it again, a little quicker this time, soon forming a nice rhythm. Spike release a soft growl and thrust his hips upward just like before only slower; soon meeting her thrusts. "OOOHHHHH!" she moaned as she gripped the sheets. Picking up the pace a bit more, Fluttershy's thick plot began to jiggle with each movement as she openly moaned out; her thrusts continuing to meet with Spike's adding that much more to pleasure to the both of them. Fluttershy's body was now rubbing against Spike's; her inner walls massaging his shaft to milk him for all he's worth. Unable to take it any longer, Spike began thrusting upward hard like he did before; causing Fluttershy to scream his name. Growling with each movement he made, Spike managed to go in deeper inside her causing a familiar pressure to build up. Fluttershy slammed her hips against Spike's thrusts; gritting her teeth as she gripped the sheets harder. "I......I gonna cum!" she said. Seconds later, Spike released a loud growl as he released inside of her. Fluttershy's body shook as her orgams hit at the same time; her juices spilling out of her and mixing with Spike's. At this time, Spike moved his head to her shoulder and bit down on it; causing Fluttershy's eyes to widen and her mouth open up to release a silent scream as she felt a tremendous amount of pain. Moments later, Spike removed his teeth from her flesh and the pain faded away; a small symbol appearing on her shoulder. The yellow pegasus collapsed on top of Spike once again; her wings lazy fell to the side as she panted heavily. Her moment of rest wasn't to last that long, as Spike's "little buddy" instantly sprang back to life inside her, causing her to gasp out loud as he started to thrust.

It was at this point that Fluttershy's body was engulfed in a yellow aura and was slowly pulled away; much to Spike's disappointment. The dragon growled angrily as he tried to escape his bindings with no luck. Fluttershy floated into the arms of Celestia who carried over to Rarity and Starlight who stood there in awe of the whole thing. "Fluttershy needs time to recover." she said. "I'll bring her to one of the other rooms where she could rest. You should get the others in here." With a nod, Starlight left for Twilight's bedroom while Celestia took Fluttershy away. Rarity was left alone with Spike; unable to take her eyes off his member standing at full, painful attention. In a hypnotic state, she slowly walked over to the bed and touched his shaft. Spike responded to the touch accordingly as Rarity was shocked to feel how hard it was. No way Pearl could match up. Her breathing sped up a bit as she was about to grab it, but stopped when she came to her senses. "W-What in Celestia's name am I thinking?!" she said as Cadence and the others walked in.

"Oh, wow." Applejack said in astonishment as she witnessed Spike's erection.

"H-He's huge." Rainbow added. The cyan pegasus didn't to admit it, but she was feeling a bit intimidated by Spike's shaft; part of her wondering if could even take it in.

"You ready, Cadence?" Twilight asked. Cadence made her way over to Spike's side where he started thrashing around; trying get free. Removing her clothing, Cadence was now fully naked when she climbed into bed; placing a hand on his chest in an attempt to calm him down a bit.

"Easy, you." she said as she climbed over him. Lining up her marehood with his shaft, Cadence lowered herself onto it. She released a loud moan as Spike filled her up; lifting her head to face the ceiling as her wings extended instantly. "Oh heavenly stars!" she moaned. "Shining's a toothpick!"

****************************

"GAH!" Shining Armor yelled in pain as fell to one knee; clutching his chest.

"Hey, you okay?" Dizzy asked with concern. "What happened?"

"M-My.....pride." Shining answered.

****************************

"YES, YEEEEESSSSSSS!" Cadence screamed as she bounced on top of Spike. "MAKE ME CUM, MAKE YOUR BIG SISTER CUM!" A loud growl came from Spike as he bucked his hips upward; going deeper inside of Cadence. With her nails digging into Spike's chest, Cadence tried her best to keep her balance as her entire body was being jerked upwards due to Spike's heavy thrusting; his length stroking against her little pleasure nub every time he pushed it inside her. Unable to keep upright, Cadence fell forward; smashing her DD cup breasts against Spike's chest as she wrapped her arms around him. Her luscious plot was jiggled furiously in front of everypony; distracting them from what was happening to the chains around Spike's fist. Spike was pulling on the chains super hard as his thrusting intensified, to the point that they were starting to crack. Cadence's moans soon turned into deafening screams as she started to reach her peak. Her inner walls clenched Spike's length as the pressure inside her started to build up; eventually she could hold on no longer.

"I'M CUMMING!" she screamed.

Cadence's body began to shake almost violently as she experienced the hardest orgasm she ever had. At that point, Spike reached his peak as well; roaring as he released inside of Cadence. However, something unexpected happened at the same time. During his orgasm, Spike managed to break the chains around his wrists and grabbed a hold on Cadence; sinking his teeth into her. She gritted her teeth as she felt a tremendous about of pain coursed through her body; that pain soon subsiding later. Spike moved to sitting position, still holding Cadence in his arms, and looked at everypony in the room; a dark grin formed on his face as there was only one thought on his mind.

"SPIKE, WANT!"

Chapter 7

Stargazer ran through the forest as he was sure that Blueblood was hot on his trails. That battle he had with the guards took a lot out of him,in fact, because of that fight, he completely lost track of where he was going. He had no idea if he was heading towards Ponyville or away from it. It wasn't long before he heard the sound of a train about to pass by. Using what little magic he had left, he zoomed through the forest until he came upon some train tracks with freight train coming up fast. At this point, he didn't care whether or not it took him to Ponyville, just so long as it got him away from Blueblood and that damn ax of his. Stargazer hid behind a tree and waited for the engines to pass up before running full speed at one of the boxcars, climbing aboard, and entering it; quickly shutting the door afterwards. Not long after the train passed, Blueblood and Stardust appeared on scene.

"Dammit, we lost him." said the prince.

"Where could he have gone?" Stardust wondered.

"I'll keep looking, I need you to get in touch with Celestia and inform her of the situation." he said.

"Yes, my prince." she answered.

****************************

Cadence was tossed to the side; her eyes rolled back with her tongue sticking as her body twitched. She was completely out of it. Spike, grabbing the chains wrapped around his feet, broke free from his bindings and looked at the group of mares that were standing in front of him. With eyes glowing brighter than ever, only two words came to mind. "SPIKE, WANT!"

"S-So what do we do now?" asked Rainbow. "We can't use magic on him."

"The only thing we can do." said Pinkie. "EVERYPONY FOR HERSELF!" Everypony, except Twilight and Luna, ran out the room right before Spike roared and leapt after them; pushing Luna out of his way.

"Luna, you check on Cadence, i'll get Spike!" Twilight said running after them. The mares all ran in different directions, but Spike had his sights on one......Applejack. The nude dragon caught up to the farm pony and pulled her into one of the many rooms of the castle.

"W-Whoa now, partner." she said. "L-Let's just.....HEY!"

In a single move, Spike ripped off Applejack's clothes then threw her onto the bed. Spike wasted no time in jumping in after her; grabbing her luscious D cup breasts and fondling them to his heart's content. Applejack groaned once Spike took both nipples in his mouth. "W-Wait." she whispered. The farm pony released a loud gasps once she felt Spike's member poking at her marehood. She sealed her eyes shut and gritted her teeth as Spike slowly pushed himself inside her tight passage.

"A....Ap....ple....j-jack." Spike managed to said. "T-Tight."

"Spike." she said softly as Spike slowly pulled back before thrusting forward. The room was soon filled with soft grunts from both Spike and Applejack; mostly Applejack. The last time she had something this large inside of her was when Rainbow used a strap on during one of their "alone times".

"GAH!" Applejack yelped once Spike reached a certain spot. Spike suddenly stopped and looked down at his soon to be mate. just as she looked up at him; panting heavily. "I-It's okay, Spike, just caught me off guard, that's all." With little bit of reassurance, Spike recommence his thrusting; earning more soft grunts from Applejack. Spike couldn't help but stare at her large orbs as they jiggled with each of his movements. He soon buried his face in between them; groping and sucking as his rhythm picked up a bit. Applejack herself, didn't really respond all that much to his actions, in fact, she wasn't all that responsive at all; aside from her soft grunts. It wasn't because Spike was bad at what he was doing or anything, it's just that, males don't really turn her on at all. If this was, Rainbow, or any other mare, she'd be moaning up a storm, but the fact that she was with a male, caused her to just basically lay there while he had his way with her. Moving from her breasts, Spike began kissing and licking his way up to her neck. Applejack responded by wrapping her arms around him and holding him close as her body started to jerk by Spike's movements. She could tell that he was starting to get close and braced herself for what was to come. Spike slowly ran his tongue across Applejack's shoulder as he picked up the pace that much more, and with one final thrust, he released his full load inside her. "S-So hot." she whispered.

Applejack soon dug her nails into Spike's back as a wave a pain flowed through her once he bit down on her shoulder. Seconds later, that pain subsided and a mark appeared on her shoulder. "A-Applejack?" Spike managed to say; a bit clearer this time. With Applejack being the 6th mate he claimed, his mind was becoming that much clearer.

"S-Spike." she panted. "Y-Y'all okay?" Spike answered with a soft growl before moving off of the farm pony. With heavy breathing, the pair stared up at the ceiling; Spike soon moving a claw over one of Applejack's breasts to fondle it. The farm pony let out a chuckle before moving to sit up, however, she was quickly pulled back down, to which Spike took this time to crawl over her; his "little buddy" standing at full attention. "W-Whoa there, Spike." Applejack said. "H-Hold on there a second." Spike released a soft growl before moving in to slowly lick Applejack's neck. The farm pony shuttered as she attempted to push Spike off. "S-Sorry, Spike, but y'all aint wreckin' me like y'all did ta Cadence." Right as Spike was about to enter her for another go around, Applejack lifted her right knee and bucked Spike off her. The farm pony's strength caused the dragon to fly off and hit the wall with a loud thud. As Spike groan in pain, Applejack quickly got out of bed, although still a bit wobbly from her session, and looked for her clothes. Unfortunately, they were ripped to shreds all over the floor. With no other choice, she grabbed the bed sheet, and wrapped it around her body before making a quick dash for the door just as Spike recovered.

Spike rose to his feet and ran out into the hallway where he saw Applejack attempting to make a break for it. The dragon leapt into the air and landed on top of the farm pony; bringing her to the floor. "A-ANYPONY MIND HELPIN' ME HERE?!" she yelled while attempting to stop Spike from ripping the sheets from her body.

"HOLD ON, BABE!" came Rainbow's voice. The cyan pegasus flew in and grabbed Spike; pulling him off her marefriend. The two of them flew down the hall before Spike broke free from Rainbow's grasp. Landing on the floor, the horny dragon locked onto what was going to be his next target. "Oh, horsefeathers." Rainbow said as she attempted to get away. Spike quickly gave chase after her; running up the walls and launching himself to grab her midair. Spike and Rainbow came down to the floor with Spike holding his future mate in his arms. "Geez, Spike, you trying to kill me?"

"S-S-Sor.....ry....R-Rain.....bow." Spike said. Before Rainbow had a chance to react to Spike barely saying her name, he grabbed her tank top and ripped it off her. Rainbow shrieked as her chest was now exposed, while Spike let out a somewhat disappointed growl. Rainbow's breasts wasn't as big as the others. She looked to be somewhere between an A or a B cup, however, what she lacked in the front, she made up for in the back. Spike soon grabbed her shorts and ripped them off as well; revealing Rainbow's perfectly round plot. Spike released a satisfying growl and wasted no time in pushing on her stomach to grope it.

"H-HEY!" Rainbow said before looking back at him. Her eyes went wide once she saw his massive length being aligned with her marehood. "W-W-Whoa, Spike, let's not ru-AAAAAHHHHH!" In one move, Spike entered her. The tightness of her pussy caused the dragon to growl in delight. "Oh....shit." Rainbow whispered as she felt Spike pull back. Sealing her eyes shut and clenching her teeth, Rainbow braced herself for what was to come. Gripping her hips hard, Spike thrust forward; going back inside her. Rainbow let out a scream that threaten to shatter windows as Spike pumped into her. The dragon couldn't take his eyes off her plot as it jiggled with each thrust. As Spike's movements increased, so did Rainbow's grunts and groans. The cyan pegasus made an attempt to crawl away, but to no avail. A high pitched squeak escaped her mouth as Spike reached a certain point within her that caused her inner walls to grip his "little buddy" tighter than it already was. "S-Shit, d-did it get bigger?" Rainbow thought as she sealed her eyes shut once again due to Spike's heavy thrusting. "I can't take it anymore, please just hurry up, Spike!"

Spike wrapped his arms around her, and pulled up to her knees. This caused Rainbow to release another loud, high pitch squeak as her body was now being jerked upwards. Spike moved to her shoulder and slowly licked it; soon picking up his pace once again as he was starting to get close to his peak. "I.....I don't b-believe it." Rainbow thought. "He's gonna make me......" The cyan pegasus could no longer hold back. With tears in her eyes, her body froze up as she came hard; her inner walls uncontrollably squeezing and milking Spike's member for all it was worth. With a deep growl, Spike released his load deep within her; causing her eyes to roll back. "So hot." she whispered. Rainbow soon released a loud "eep" when Spike sank his teeth into her shoulder; claiming her as his. Rainbow fell forward; her body twitching every now and then as her tongue stuck out. She was completely out of it.

Spike placed a claw over his head as he suddenly felt dizzy for some reason; his bright glowing eyes went dim as struggled to stand up. Spike stumbled and fell against the wall and groaned as he held his head with both claws; soon falling to one knee. "SPIKE!" came a familiar voice. Spike didn't have to look to see who it was as he already knew.

"T-Twilight." he groaned before passing out. Twilight caught him just before he hit the floor. At that point, Applejack ran up on scene and saw Rainbow on the floor with a dazed look on her face while Twilight was holding Spike.

"Rainbow, say somethin'." she said as she kneeled down next to her marefriend. The only thing that came out of Rainbow's mouth was a grunt as her body twitched. Purple aura soon surrounded both Rainbow and Spike and the two were levitated into the air.

"Let's get them to bed." Twilight suggested.

****************************

As the sun started to rise, a freight train slowed it's pace as it entered into a city. Stargazer, feeling the train slowing its pace, opened the boxcar, and jumped out; ending up a few feet away from a train station. He decided to make his way over in hopes to sneak on board another train that might be heading towards Ponyville. Thankfully, for him, the place wasn't open yet, and this gave him the chance to break in and take a look at the schedule. He saw that there was a train scheduled to make its way toward Ponyville within the next few hours. With no other choice, he had to wait it out. Walking around the building, he was shocked to discover that the city he was in was completely destroyed; as if multiple bombs went off at once. Buildings were barely standing up and looked as if they were going to collapse at any moment.

"Where the Tartarus am I?" he asked. Immediately, his question was answered when he saw a battered sign.

Welcome to Baltimare

Chapter 8

Spike slowly awoke with Twilight, Celestia, Luna, and Applejack looking over him. "W-What happened?" he groaned as he tried to sit up. Luna gently placed a hand on his chest and pushed him back down.

"Don't move, Spike, it appears you've suffered a minor form of fatigue last night." she explained. "Most probably from claiming four different mares at once."

"What......?" Spike started before some memories of last night started to comeback to him. His face turn five different shades of red as he remembers claiming Applejack and Rainbow, however, he was sure that there were at least three other mares he slept with last night, but they were a blurr.

"I.....I'm sorry, Applejack." he said. "I must've hurt you........"

"Um.......y'all didn't." she said with a blush; unable to bring herself to tell him that she wasn't even turned on by the act.

"Wait.....Spike, you remember?!" Twilight asked; shocked.

"Y-Yeah, kinda." he answered. "I know I was with Applejack and Rainbow but-GAH!" Twilight launched herself at Spike and hugged him tightly. It actually worked. Spike was beginning to become in full control of himself; he still had memories from last night. Spike looked around and noticed that the others weren't in the room with him.

"So....where's everypony else?" he asked.

"Oh, um....well Rainbow, Cadence, and Fluttershy are still asleep." Luna explained. "As For Pinkie, Rarity, and Starlight.....we have no idea where they are."

"Y'all kinda went.....crazy last night, and everypony ran fer the hills." Applejack chimed in with a nervous chuckle. "Ah'm pretty sure they're still in the castle......somewhere." Spike couldn't bring himself to feel guilty because he was too busy trying to breathe as Twilight's hug got that much tighter. Seeing Spike's discomfort, Celestia used her magic to pry the purple alicorn away from him.

"Twilight, let him breathe." she said as she took a seat next to Spike. Celestia placed an arm around him and pulled him close to her; his head coming to rest on her breast. Spike swallowed hard as he got a clear view of her massive cleavage; his eyes beginning to flash a dim light. Luna caught wind of this and used her magic to pull Spike away. "LUNA!" Celestia whined.

"Sister, you're going to set him off again." she warned. "He needs to rest, and besides, it's too early in the morning to be mating away." Luna laid Spike back in bed while pulled her sister way; much to her protest. Celestia's protest grew even louder when Luna dragged her out of the room. Twilight and Applejack followed soon after, but not before Twilight gave Spike a small peck on the cheek before leaving. After they left, Spike was now alone in his room with time to think about what happened. He remembers claiming Applejack and Rainbow, but when did he claim Fluttershy and Cadence. It must have been when he first lost consciousness.

"I hope I didn't hurt anypony." he thought. Spike was soon pulled from his thoughts when his bedroom door opened. Entering his room was Pinkie, who had a sad look on her face.

"Spike, you're up." she said.

"Oh, hey Pinkie, what's wrong?" he asked.

Pinkie closed the door behind her and walked over to Spike's bedside where she climbed in. "I'm sorry, Spike." she said. "This whole thing was my idea and I ran away when things got bad."

"You mean, when I went crazy, right." Spike said remembering what Applejack told him earlier. Pinkie wrapped her arms around him and held him close; smashing her breasts against him.

"So, how you feeling?" she asked.

"A little better, although, my memory is still kinda fuzzy." he answered. "I remember some things from last night, but the rest is a blur." Pinkie took this time to move closer to Spike and cuddle against him.

"If you remember some things from last night, then that means it worked." she said. "Maybe.....if you had one more mate, you'd remember everything." Pinkie and Spike both started blushing profusely. Before Spike has a chance to say anything, Pinkie had already moved on top of him and began removing her clothes. Spike's eyes immediately began glowing, and low growl escaped his mouth.

****************************

As the day went by, Stargazer found himself wondering the streets of the ruined city of Baltimare. He made sure to keep out of sight of anypony he came across out of fear that they might recognize him. Ducking behind a back alley, the unicorn traveled behind ruined buildings until he came across an diner that was looked to be somewhat intact. He quickly darted over and went inside; taking a seat in the back corner. It didn't appear that any of the workers noticed him come him, which was good. He didn't want any kind of attention drawn towards him, not until later this afternoon when the train to Ponyville arrives. Just then, three stallions walked in; one of them rambling on about going to Ponyville. That caught Stargazer's attention and the unicorn fugitive decided to listen in on their conversation.

"Sentinel, for the last time, call this off." Gravel pleaded. "It's not worth it."

"It IS worth it." he argued. "SHE'S worth it. And i'm not gonna let some DRAGON get in my way."

"Dragon?" Stargazer thought. "He couldn't be talking about......"

"He stole my special somepony from me, and i'm gonna get her back." Sentinel declared. "Even if I have to wreck all of Ponyville to do it, I WILL get back my mare."

"This dragon you speak of, he wouldn't happen to be a purple dragon with green scales would he?" Stargazer asked; catching their attention.

"Who are you?" asked Moonstone.

"Just answer me, is he a purple dragon with green scales?" Stargazer asked.

"Yeah, you know him?" asked Sentinel asked.

"More than you know." he growled. "That bastard stole everything from me. Anything he wants, he'll do whatever it takes to get it. He destroyed my life and I vow to get him back no matter the cost."

"So he's stolen from you too, huh?" Sentinel asked. "Damn him, his greed knows no bounds. How many other stallions has he stolen mares from?!" Sentinel rose from his seat and went over to Stargazer; sticking his hand out. "I'm Sentinel, we're on our way to Ponyville to teach that lizard a lesson and reclaim what's rightfully mine. Come with us."

"Who's we?" Gravel and Moonstone thought.

A smirk appeared on Stargazer's face before standing up and grabbing Sentinel's hand. "Call me, Stargazer." he said.

****************************

"UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UH, UUUUUUUHHHHH, UUUUUHHHHH, UUUUUUHHHHH, UH, OH SHIT, SPIKE!" Pinkie moaned as she bounced on fast and hard on top of Spike. Wanting to get in on the action, Spike grabbed the pink mare's thick hips and bucked upwards meeting her thrust. Pinkie squealed at the newly added pleasure she was feeling. Spike growled at the sight of Pinkie's bountiful F cups bouncing in front of him and moved to sit up so he could bury his face in between them. Rocking her hips back and forth, Pinkie grabbed Spike's head and held it in place. Her inner walls were squeezing the life out of Spike's member; indicating that she was getting close. "Spike.....I.....I can't hold it!" she half screamed.

With a deep growl, Spike pushed Pinkie onto her back and began pounding deep into her. The pink mare screamed; nearly shattering the windows and catching the attention of just about everypony in the castle. Pinkie's body was being jerked along with the bed; her moans becoming high pitched screams of ecstasy. Spike moved his head to her shoulder and licked it' preparing to claim her for his own. Pinkie's dug her nails into Spike's back as he picked up that pace a bit more. "I'M CUMMING!" she screamed as her orgasm hit her hard. Pinkie sealed her eyes shut as her body shook uncontrollably; her sweet juices soon pouring out of her. Spike continued thrusting against her tight grip until he too succumbed to his peak. With a final growl and thrust, Spike released wave after wave of his seed inside her; soon sinking his teeth in her shoulder. Pinkie gritted her teeth at the untold amount of pain she was feeling before it subsided. Spike's eyes soon went back to normal after he pulled out of her and moved onto his back. Pinkie roll over and snuggled against him; tears running down her face as the two of them panted heavily.

"P-Pinkie?" Spike said weakly.

"Y-Yeah?" she panted.

"A-ma-zing." he managed to say before passing out. Twilight and Celestia soon entered the room and saw the naked pair cuddled up.

"P-Pinkie....what......." Twilight started.

"I....I d-don't think....I can...m-move." Pinkie interrupted.

****************************

Stargazer found himself standing on the beach along with Sentinel, Moonstone, and Gravel with a shocked look on his face. Right before him, were rows and rows of sexy mares chanting Sentinel's name. He didn't believe it when Gravel told him about Sentinel's fanmares, but now that he sees it, he started to wonder if he was actually banging all of them. If he had this many mares, then why worry about the one Spike had stolen from him?

"Okay, girls, listen up!" Sentinel announced. "Within the next hour, we're traveling to Ponyville, to get back what was stolen from me! And you'll get your revenge on that lizard that not only destroyed our city, but harmed me in the process!" As the mares all shouted their love for Sentinel, Stargazer refused to believe that Spike had the ability to level an entire city. He was just a scrawny, wingless dragon who's only powers was to send letters back and forth Ponyville and Canterlot. A wingless dragon who's about to get everything he deserves coming to him, and then some.

"In a few more hours, we move out to Ponyville to extract our revenge!" Sentinel announced.

"Count us out." Moonstone and Gravel said in unison before turning to leave.

"Wait, WHAT!?" Sentinel yelled before running in front of his friends. "What are you saying, you're not coming?!"

"Dude, look at our city, this is what happened the last time you've messed with that dragon." Moonstone explained. "And you've barely made it out alive then."

"Moonstone's right, i've put up with your bullshit for far too long to go and get myself killed because you can't stop thinking with your dick long enough to realize that you're on a suicide mission." Gravel chimed in. "If you wanna die, do it yourself."

"B-B-B-But......" he started.

"No." Gravel said sternly. "Sorry, dude, but you're on your own this time."

"Y-You're really gonna do me like this?" Sentinel asked; shocked that his friends were abandoning him like this.

"Dude, we're not gonna put our lives at risk just so that you can get laid." Moonstone said as he walked away with Gravel.

"See ya later, unless you die, then it's goodbye forever." Gravel said.

Too shocked to say anything, Sentinel stood there and watched two of his friends walk away. Anger started to rise as he turned away and crossed his arms. "Who needs them." he said; looking over at Stargazer. "Good to know I have at least one ally. That dragon's going down."

****************************

Arriving in Ponyville via carriage, Stardust ran towards Twilight castle and frantically banged on the door. "PRINCESS TWILIGHT, PRINCESS CELESTIA, OPEN UP!" she yelled. "THIS IS AN EMERGENCY!"

Inside, everypony heard banging at the door. Celestia headed over to answer it with everypony else following behind her. Whoever it was at the door, it sounded like they needed in with the utmost urgency. Celestia open the door and saw Stardust panting heavily. The earth pony mare looked up and saw Celestia almost spilling out of her nightgown; a deep blush soon formed on her face. She wasn't expecting to see the ruler of Equestria like this. "Stardust, what is it?" Celestia asked; snapping Stardust out of her shocked state.

"Princess, I went to Canterlot but was told you were here instead." she explained. "Thank goodness i've found you."

"Is something wrong?" she wondered.

"Princess, I bring you a message from Blueblood." she said. "We've found Stargazer, but he's escaped. He believe he's on his way here as we speak!"

*CRASH*

The sound of something falling to the floor caught the attention of both Celestia and Stardust. With a fearful look, the princess turned around and saw Twilight standing there, wide eyed, and frozen like a statue with a look of comeplete fear written on her face along with everypony else.

"S-S-Stargazer's free?" she asked. "H-He's coming to Ponyville?"

"T-Twilight, breathe, just breathe." Celestia attempted to calm her down.

"HOW THE TARTARUS DID THIS HAPPEN?!" yelled Rainbow. "ISN'T HE SUPPOSED TO BE LOCKED UP FOREVER?!"

"I'll explain later, right we need to know where it was you've seen him last, Stardust." said Luna

"It was in a forest, somewhere between here and Fillydelphia." she explained. "We've engaged him in a fight and some of our soldiers were critically injured. He made it known that he'll do whatever it takes to get back here, even kill."

"Where's Blueblood and Shining?" asked Cadence. "Are they alright?"

"Blueblood's continuing the search on his own while Shining Armor's making sure the injured receives immediate medical attention." she explained. "They're all in Canterlot right now."

Twilight was visibly shaken at finding out that Stargazer was free and on his way towards Ponyville. A million thoughts were running through her mind right now. One of those thoughts was that she feared that the reason he was on his way was so that he could finish what he started with Spike. She was afraid that he was gonna attempt to kill him again, and possible succeed. Despite this, part of her wanted to see him again, to just simply hear his voice once more. Twilight was disgusted with herself right now. How could she still feel anything towards him after all the things he's done; which was base on nothing but his own paranoia. She worried how he would react in finding out that she was now mated to Spike. In his mind, that knowledge would confirm everything he believed about Spike, and most likely send him into a rage frenzy, but still, she still wanted to see him.

"Is Spike still asleep?" Celestia asked.

"Yes, I believe so." Luna answered.

"Luna, transfer him to my room in Canterlot." she said. "I don't want him anywhere near Ponyville while Stargazer's on the loose." Celestia, just like Twilight, was also visibly shaken. Just remembering all the things that happened to Spike because of Stargazer, especially his attempt to kill Spike in Canterlot while she was busy with the Dragon Lord. The image of seeing Spike on the floor in the ballroom was burned deep into her mind, and she refused to let something like that happen again. With a nod, Luna quickly headed upstairs to get Spike away from Ponyville. "When Luna's finished with that, we'll head back to Canterlot with you." she said looking at Stardust. "I want a full briefing of what's happened in your encounter with Stargazer."

"Ma'am." Stardust said; standing at attention.

"So what about Ponyville?" Rarity asked.

"Everypony in town hates Stargazer for what he's done." Rainbow explained. "If he ever shows his face here, we'll take care of him." As Rainbow cracked her knuckles, Twilight turned away. She didn't want anything bad to happen to Stargazer, although he deserves it. She wanted to say something on the matter, but the words just would come out. Mostly because she felt that she was taking her Ex's side rather than Spike. Twilight had no idea what to do.

****************************

The train pulled up at the station just as Sentinel, Stargazer, and and all of Sentinel's fanmares arrived. One by one, everypony boarded the train with Stargazer taking a seat by himself in the far end. Clenching his fist, it would be mere moments before he returned to Ponyville and extract some much needed payback on Spike.

"Attention passengers." came the loud speaker. "Our First stop will be in Dodge City, followed by Appaloosa, and then Ponyville."

"You've got to be fucking kidding me." he thought as the train started to pull away from the station.

Chapter 9

Spike awoke, fully clothed in a room that wasn't his. In fact, he instantly knew where he was. "Why am I in mom's room?" he thought. "If i'm here, then, that must mean i'm in Canterlot....but why? Did they send me here when I was asleep?" It was then memories of his activities with Pinkie started to come back to him. He remembered everything that happened between the two of them; both before and after. As he started to blush hard, Spike started to wonder who it was that brought him here; maybe the guards knew. Spike got out of Celestia's bed and headed for the door, however, when he opened it, he was stopped by two guards.

"We're sorry, Spike, but the princess has instructed us to not allow you to leave her room until she returns." one of them said.

"What, why?" Spike asked.

"We're not at liberty to say." answered the other guard. "Just that you're not allowed to leave this room until the princess returns." With that, Spike was pushed back into Celestia's room and the guards shut the door.

"HEY!" Spike yelled as he grabbed the door handle. Spike pulled on it, but it didn't budge. "YOU CAN'T KEEP ME IN HERE!" Spike attempted to use his shoulder to break the door down, but that too proved to be futile. "The balcony." he thought. Spike headed towards the glass door that lead to his mother's balcony; believing that's how he was gonna escape, but as he got there, he found that it too was blocked off. There was some kind of purple aura surrounding the window. Spike went to touch it, and a small prick of lightning shocked him. He was trapped with no way of escaping.

****************************

Celestia and Luna returned to Canterlot along with Stardust and began making their way into the throne room. "Where's Shining Armor?" Celestia asked.

"I've sent a guard to fetch him as soon as we returned, your majesty." Stardust answered. "He should be here soon." It didn't take them long to reach the throne room in which Celestia was about to take a seat on her throne when Shining Armor and a few guards entered. Celestia wasted no time in getting to the main issue. "What happen?!" she interrogated.

"We've engaged Stargazer in a forest about 20 miles outside of the city of Fillydelphia." he explained. "He's managed to fight off all of the guards single handedly; some of them are critically injured."

"Stardust has informed us that he's willing to kill. Tell me, has he done so?" Luna asked; afraid to hear the answer.

"Unfortunately, he has." Shining answered; lowing his head. "Three of our guards were caught in a massive explosion he set up in Fillydelphia when we went to check his childhood home." Celestia gripped the arms of her throne. Stargazer had killed three of her guards and critically wounded the rest. If he's willing to do all of that, then there's no telling what he's gonna once he returns to Ponyville. Once again, Celestia's mind turned to Spike, and how she's was just seconds away from seeing Stargazer deliver the finishing blow to her son. No, she promised herself since that night that nothing will ever harm Spike like that ever again.

"What about Blueblood?" asked Luna. "Any word from him?"

"None." Shining answered. "I assume he's still looking for any kind of trace of him."

"Sister, should we put guards in Ponyville?" Luna asked.

"No need, Luna." said Shining. "Blueblood said he had somepony in Ponyville who's on high alert."

****************************

Twilight sat on her bed in Cadence's arms as complete and total fear washed over her. "He's coming for Spike." she said. "I know he is."

"He won't get to Spike." Cadence reassured. "As long as he remains in Canterlot, he'll be safe."

"I'm more worried about what he'll do once he finds out Spike's not here." Twilight said.

"Nothing." Rainbow said; cracking her knuckles. "If he even looks like he'll do something, i'll break his neck."

"And don't y'all be thinkin' about confrontin' Stargazer by y'allself." said Applejack. "Ah feel like Spike ain't the only one he's after. He may try to convince y'all ta take'em back. And since y'all still have feelings fer the bastard......."

"YOU WHAT?!" yelled Cadence. Both she and Fluttershy had shocked looks on their faces as they stared at Twilight. Cadence was about to say something when everypony heard loud stomping noises coming at them at full speed. Seconds later, Twilight's bedroom door flung open and standing there was Pinkie standing the doorway with her nightgown barely hanging onto her body.

"TWILIGHT, HOW COULD YOU?!" she yelled. "AFTER EVERYTHING HE DID, HOW YOU STILL FEEL ANYTHING FOR HIM AT ALL?!"

"Okay, first off, how could you hear us when Spike's room is down the hall, and second, I don't want to feel anything towards him, but.....I can't help it." she said as she hung her head. "I....I want to see him again." Twilight couldn't help but feel guilty as all the alicorn could think about right now was Spike, and how she felt like she was betraying him. Twilight didn't want to admit this to everypony, but whenever she and Spike slept together, there have been some instances where her mind went to Stargazer and how it felt to be with him again.

"Does Spike know?" Pinkie asked; causing Twilight's heart to skip a beat.

"W-What? No...no he doesn't." she said; lowering her head in shame. "He doesn't even know Stargazer's on his way to Ponyville."

"STARGAZER'S ON HIS WAY TO PONYVILLE?!" Pinkie screamed; nearly blowing everypony away. "HOW DID HE ESCAPE?!"

"It doesn't matter, so long as he doesn't know where Spike is." said Cadence.

****************************

Spike laid on the floor of Celestia's bedroom panting heavily. He tried everything he could think of to attempt to escape his prison, but nothing worked. "T-This is ridiculous." he said.

"What is?" came Celestia's voice as she walked in her room. Spike moved to sit up just as Celestia approached him. Spike glared at her while she wore an innocent, cute smile on her face. "What's wrong, Spike?" she asked.

"You locked me in here as if I was some kind of prisoner." he said. "The guards won't even tell me why i'm in Canterlot, and i'm exhausted from trying to break outta here." Celestia giggled before she took a seat next to Spike; placing an arm around him. Her horn glowed and the curtains were pulled back and the purple barrier disappeared; allowing light from the sun to fill the room. "Why am I even in Canterlot, and did I even get here?"

"I had you brought here, Spike." Celestia answered. "I wanted.....to spend time with you." Celestia was trying to not let on why Spike was actually here. The last thing she wanted, was for him to constantly worry about what may, or may not happen to him if Stargazer finds him. "What do you say we have ourselves a little.....date." she suggested with a cute giggle. "We could spend the entire day together, just you and me, you know, like we used to."

"I wouldn't call those "dates", more like mother/son outings." Spike said.

"Come on, it'll be fun." Celestia said as she stood up; pulling Spike with her. She was hoping that this little outing with Spike would not only keep him from finding out way he really was here, but also put her mind at ease. Just knowing that Stargazer was out there somewhere was causing her an untold amount of stress. Latching onto Spike's arm, the pair walked out onto the balcony where Celestia extended her wings and took off into the air with Spike holding onto her.

On the ground, Luna watched her sister and nephew take off through the sky. "I wonder where they're going?" she thought. Luna's attention was soon captured by Stardust running towards her; calling her name.

"Princess Luna, we've received a message from Prince Blueblood." she said. "He received intel from some ponies that they saw somepony matching Stargazer's description in Baltimare. The prince is on his way there to investigate right now. Should I let your sister know this as well?"

"No." Luna answered. "She's stressed enough as is. As soon as you hear from Blueblood, let me know ASAP."

"Ma'am!" she saluted.

****************************

*BOOOOOM*

A massive explosion could be heard throughout Ponyville that caused the residents of the town to take to the streets to find out where it came from when another one went off. Some were sure that a creature of some kind was about to attack the town and most ponies ran to seek the aid of Twilight and the others. The bearers of the elements, along with Starlight and Cadence began their investigation of the mysterious explosions. Twilight started to fear that the explosions were being caused by stargazer making his way towards Ponyville, however, her mind was put at ease once they discovered the source of it all. Big Mac was in the middle of training by punching the ground, which caused a huge chunk of the earth to rise up, and blowing up the massive rock.

"Big Mac, what in tarnation are y'all doing?!" Applejack yelled. "We can hear y'all all the way in Ponyville!"

"Trainin'." he said before swift kicking the rock in half with a clean cut.

"Trainin' fer what?" she asked. Big Mac didn't answer and continued his training. "BIG MAC!" Applejack tried and failed to get her brother's attention.

"Stargazer." Fluttershy said; catching everypony's attention. "He's training to confront Stargazer. Blueblood asked Big Mac to be on the lookout, just in case he failed to catch him. I guess he got the message."

"Wait, Fluttershy, you knew?" asked Rainbow.

Fluttershy nodded. "I.....I wanted to tell you, but I didn't want anypony to worry, besides, we had to get Spike under control before he hurt somepony." Rainbow was about to sat something, but was cut off when Big Mac caused another explosion followed by a mini earthquake. The red stallion had made a crater when he punched the ground before looking at his fist and let out a soft growl. He wasn't strong enough yet.

****************************

Spike and Celestia walked through the market area of Canterlot with the princess latched onto his arm. This garnered the two of them some attention from the citizens as Spike noticed them staring and mumbling amongst themselves. Thanks his hearing, Spike knew what they were all saying about his little situation, and surprisingly, it wasn't anything negative. All the ponies of Canterlot figured that Celestia was just being overly attentive to Spike after everything that's happened to the poor dragon. He also heard some of the stallions commenting on how lucky he was to have such a sexy mare by his side. Three of the stallions talking about him was none other than Pyro, Techrat, and Sunspot. The ones who tried to Spy on Twilight and the others during their slumber party and on Celestia when she Spike had a "moment" together in Baltimare.

"How I wish I was that dragon right now." Pyro said; envious of Spike as he and Celestia passed them up. "Dammit, I bet you guys he was the one banging her in Baltimare."

"How can you be sure, the camera was destroyed when you fell off the building and onto that car?" asked Sunspot. "To tell the truth, you shouldn't even be alive right now."

"Don't remind me of that." Pyro said before taking a sip of his drink. "And besides, just look at how happy she is around him. You can't tell me that they're NOT banging each other."

"And how are you gonna prove that?" Sunspot asked. "Spy on them like you tried to do before?"

"Precisely." Pyro said with a dark smirk. "Think about it, ever since Celestia was debikinied in Baltimare, all pictures of her had vanished, and the black market is willing to pay top bit for anything lewd of her. So how much do you think we'll get if we somehow manage to get a video recording of her banging somepony, we'll be billionaires."

Techrat, who had been quiet up to this point, finally spoke up. "This isn't about the money, you just want a video of Celestia for "personal" usage."

"That too." he said. "We record them, then make a four copies; one for each of us, and the other to be sold on the black market."

"I don't know." said Sunspot; unsure if he should go along with this.

"Dude, you didn't see what I saw in Baltimare; Celestia's tits and plot jiggling while she was on top of that lucky bastard, it was amazing." Pyro said. "Image having footage of that in your personal collection." Sunspot started to imagine a naked Celestia and a perverted grin formed on his face; the same with Techrat. The two stallions quickly agreed to Pyro's plan. Surely, this time, things won't backfire in their faces. The three stallions got up from their table, and went after both Celestia and Spike; being extra careful as to not let on that they were being followed.

Speaking of Celestia and Spike, the pair made their way to a small pastry shop where they took a seat at one of the booths. "I used to bring you here all the time, Spike, remember?" Celestia said as she put and arm around Spike; bringing him closer.

"Kind of." he said. "I was very little back then."

"Ah, Princess Celestia." said the waitress as she approached. "Are you getting the usual?"

"Yes, I am." she said. "Oh, and get Spike the same thing please."

"On the way." the waitress said before she left.

"The usual?" Spike asked. "Let me guess, a chocolate fudge cake with chocolate filling and frosting, right?"

"You know me so well." Celestia giggled. A few minutes had passed before the waitress came back with two plates of chocolate cake for each of them. Celestia wasted no time in diving right into it. Spike chuckled as he saw the smudge of chocolate on Celestia's face as she happily ate. Grabbing a napkin, Celestia wiped her mouth before going back in for another bite. She was like a giant child when it came to cake. Sometimes, Spike finds it hard to believe that she's the ruler of this country. As the two of them ate, Pyro, Sunspot, and Techrat took a seat at a booth across from them. In his hands, Techrat was putting together a mini camera they could use to record Spike and the princess without being noticed.

"I wonder what they're talking about?" Sunspot wondered.

"Who cares, as long as we get some footage of Celestia in her birthday suit, I couldn't care less about they're talking about." Pyro stated. "Hey, Techrat, what's taking so long?"

"Don't rush me, unless you want the video to come out looking like shit." he said. Pyro looked back towards Spike and Celestia and caught them standing up from their seats and beginning to leave.

"They're leaving." Pyro announced. "Quick, after them!" The three stallions quickly got up from their seat, but was stopped when they were confronted by the manager.

"Surely, you aren't thinking about leaving without paying, are you?" he asked. All three stallions chuckled nervously as the manager stared them down.

****************************

It was evening time when the train left Dodge City and was heading towards it's next stop.....Appaloosa. Stargazer sat in his seat with an aggravated look on his face. When he saw the train schedule, he didn't think to look and see if there were any other stops along the way to Ponyville. He figured it'd be at least another day or two before he'd make it there. "Hey, why so glum?" Sentinel asked as he took a seat. "We should be in Ponyville soon."

"I hadn't counted on it taking so long to get there." Stargazer growled. "Dammit."

"Think of it this way, we could take this time to get to know each other better." Sentinel suggested. "Why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself?"

"Hmph, where do I start?" Stargazer said with a smirk. It was then the unicorn fugitive began to tell his new ally about where'd he came from, however, unknown to them, a certain prince was standing on the tracks right outside of Appleloosa with ax in hand; waiting for their arrival.

Chapter 10

"Hmm, where do I start?" Stargazer said with a smirk. "You know how some unicorns are born with a greater talent in magic than most?"

"Yeah, but they're a rare breed." Sentinel answered. "Wait.....are you......"

"Yep." Stargazer answered. "When I was young, I exceeded at every type of magic known to ponykind. I was especially good at dark magic." A black, green, and purple aura started to surround Stargazer's body which caused Sentinel to sink in his seat for a second. The aura didn't last long, and disappeared as quickly as it appeared.

"Only three ponies in the history of Equestria were able to master dark magic." Sentinel stated.

"And now there's four." Stargazer replied. "Although, with it being looked down upon, i've never really used it; aside from private practice sessions. As a consequence of being over exposed to dark magic, my physical endurance, strength, and stamina has increased."

"Wait, I thought being exposed to dark magic for a long period of time would eventually corrupt you." Sentinel stated.

"That's only if they can't handle it." Stargazer explained. "And with my natural magic talent, being corrupted by dark magic is the one thing i'll never have to worry about. I'm in full control."

"Bet your parents are proud of you." Sentinel said.

"They wouldn't stop boasting about how their son was the most talented unicorn in all of Fillydelphia." he said. "Especially my dad; i've never seen a stallion so proud. When I was little, the two of us would have these little competitions, and i'd kick his ass from here to Vanhoover. To tell the truth, it was mostly my dad who helped me learn how to fully control dark magic, and my mom just couldn't help but brag to her friends that her son was going to be the next Starswirl in this generation. After they died, I traveled to Canterlot to learn more about dark magic, and that's where I met her."

"Your marefriend?" Sentinel asked.

"Yeah." he nodded. "She was unlike any mare i'd ever seen; smart, beautiful, and all around perfect. I knew I had to make her mine, and within a year, we were dating, then five years later at all went to shit; especially because of that bastard."

"The lizard." Sentinel stated.

"Ever since she and I started dating, there he was." Stargazer continued. "He was always trying to sabotage our relationship. Even going so far as to not only move in with her, but also date a dragon lord's daughter who was already in a relationship with someone else in an attempt to make her jealous."

"He what?!" Sentinel said in shock. "That low life! Did the dragon she was in a relationship with find out?"

"I was the one who told him." Stargazer said with pride. "And let's just say, he got the beating of his life." Sentinel laughed as he envisioned Spike getting beat down by another dragon. "However, not only did he survive the attack, but he used it to his advantage to get not only my marefriend, but her friends to dote on him hand and foot; despite the fact that dragons have a healing factor."

"So in other words, he just pretended to be hurt in order to trick her into giving him more attention?" Sentinel asked. "Damn him."

"He's a dragon, and dragons are naturally greedy. It's what their kind do." Stargazer continued. "He not only turned her, but my other two friends against me. I should've used dark magic against him when I had the chance, well, I won't be making that mistake again. I WILL have her back. When I was little, my mother taught me not to allow anypony to get in my way if I want something; that no matter what, I should fight for it, and not hold back, and that's what I aim to do."

It was then both stallions began to feel the train start to slow down a bit. "Are we approaching Appaloosa already?" Sentinel asked as both he and Stargazer looked out the window. As they sat there, Stargazer started to get a feeling that something was wrong.

"Move." he said.

"What?" Sentinel asked.

"GET OUT THE WAY!" he yelled.

*BOOOOOOOM*

The entire train car they were in exploded; blowing the two stallions and some of Sentinel's fanmares away from the train and into the field. Slowly rising to his feet, Stargazer looked around and didn't see anypony else, except one. A stallion who was covered in lightning; weilding a giant axe. "Blueblood." Stargazer growled.

"It's been a while, Stargazer." the prince said as he floated towards the ground.

"Yes, it has." Stargazer said as he took a stance.

"You're coming with me." said Blueblood as he gripped his axe.

"Yeah, I don't think so." Stargazer replied. "You see, I have some unfinished business with a certain dragon who stole my mare."

"He didn't steal her, you lost her when you betrayed her and tried to have him killed." Blueblood argued. Both stallions started to power up as they stared each other down. "I'll say it again, stand down." Stargazer answered by firing a blast of magic at Blueblood who used his axe to cut it in half. "If that's how you wanna play it, then so be it." Lightning began to surround the prince's body and he charged at Stargazer with an incredible speed. Stargazer quickly lifted up his hands and conjured up a barrier to protect himself. Blueblood's axe collided with the barrier causing a massive shockwave. The engineers on the train worked frantically to get the vehicle moving as fast as possible; leaving behind the last train car that was separated by Blueblood's explosion. Both stallions began pushing against each other in a show of strength with Stargazer's barrier showing signs of cracking. Blueblood managed to break through Stargazer's barrier and caused the unicorn to jump away; putting some space between them. A white aura surrounded Stargazer as he prepared for another attack, but when he looked, Blueblood was no longer there. Instead, the prince had appeared behind him and hammer him into the ground. Stargazer teleported away just as the prince was about to stomp on his head.

Sensing where Stargazer might appear next, Blueblood threw his axe in said direction, and when Stargazer reappeared, he was only inches away from getting hit, however thanks to his quick reflexes, he managed to avoid it. Blueblood ran full speed towards Stargazer; sticking his hand out and calling back his axe. With axe in hand, the prince leapt into the air and came down; slamming his axe onto the ground and causing a massive amount of lightning to surge towards Stargazer. The unicorn leapt into the air to avoid the attack, but found himself open to another. Blueblood took this opportunity to fire a blast of magic at him to knock him out of the sky, but Stargazer managed to avoid the attack by firing a blast of his own. Both attacks collided with each other and exploded on impact; sending a small shockwave across the land. When the dust settled, Blueblood looked around and saw no signs of Stargazer anywhere. "Where the tartarus is he?" he thought. Stargazer reappeared right above Blueblood and came down wielding a knife, however thanks to the light from the moon, the prince noticed his shadow, and quickly turned around to use his axe to block the attack. Stargazer was pushed back a bit before landing on his feet.

"Damn it, I guess I got no choice." he thought. "I was hoping to save this for that dragon, but I can use it as a warm up against Blueblood." Blueblood started to walk towards Stargazer, but stopped once he saw the unicorn's body glowing with a black, green, and purple aura. The prince instantly knew what this was as he's seen it once before from when Celestia used it years ago.

"Dark magic?!" he thought. With in the blink of an eye, Stargazer was instantly behind the prince. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as Blueblood turned to face him, only to be knocked away and sent flying off. Blueblood hit the ground hard and rolled a couple of feet before coming to a stop. He slowly started to rise to his feet only for his face to come into contact with Stargazer's foot. The prince was launched into the air, but was grabbed by the leg then slammed into the ground face first. Stargazer was about to go for another attack, but was stopped when Blueblood's body was soon surrounded by lightning. In one move, the prince exploded in a powerful blast of lightning; sending Stargazer back a few feet before coming to a stop. Blueblood launched himself towards the unicorn and deliver a lightning filled punch that Stargazer managed to block with his arm; the impact of the punch causing a shockwave of wind and lightning. Stargazer charged up his left fist and fired a blast of dark magic into the prince's face. Blueblood yelled in pain as his body was being thrown across the area; hitting the ground soon after. At his feet, Stargazer saw the axe Blueblood was wielding. Seeing this as an opportunity to end this fight, he went to pick it up, but when he touched it, the weapon sent hundreds of bolts of lightning through his body. Stargazer yelled out in pain before he let it go; stumbling back a bit. Gritting his teeth in anger, the aura around his body started to grow; sparks of black lightning shooting from his body. "If I can't kill you with your own weapon, then the old fashion way will have to do." he growled. Stargazer's body started to rise up into sky where he noticed Blueblood struggling to get up. With dark magic gathering in his hand, Stargazer prepared for what was going to be his final attack. "Nothing will get in my way of getting her back, NOTHING!" he thought as he prepared to fire.

On the ground, Blueblood slowly rose to his feet just in time to look up and see Stargazer with an overwhelming about of power flowing through him. "W-What the......." he started.

"GOODBYE, BLUEBLOOD!" Stargazer yelled. In one move, the unicorn fired a massive blast of purple, green, and black magic at the prince who had little time to react due to how fast it was coming at him. Blueblood quickly put up a barrier to shield himself from the attack; the impact from it started to push the prince into the ground. Gritting his teeth, Blueblood pushed against the attack with his barrier beginning to crack. Stargazer powered up and fired an even bigger volley at the prince. Blueblood's eyes widen as his barrier was now seconds from shattering; he had no time to call forth his axe to attempt a counter attack.

"D-DAMMIT.....N-NO!" Blueblood yelled as he felt himself beginning to lose.

Stargazer sent one final massive volley that shattered Blueblood's barrier and engulfed him. Stargazer could hear the prince's screams as his body was absorbed into the beam. To make sure the job was fully complete, Stargazer created a giant ball of magic over his head then threw it towards the ground; the impact causing a massive explosion that could not only be seen from Appaloosa, but felt as well; due to the mini earthquake that was created. When the dust settled, all that was left was a massive crater with nothing in it. Stargazer landed on the ground where he broke out into a loud laughter just as it began to rain and thunder. He'd done it, he killed Blueblood. There was absolutely no sign of the prince anywhere. Watching from not that far away was Sentinel and a couple of his fanmares who had all witnessed the fight between the two unicorns, and thanked their lucky stars that Stargazer was on their side.

****************************

In Canterlot, Spike and Celestia landed on the balcony of her room as the rain started to pour harder. "That came out of nowhere." Spike said.

"You're right." Celestia replied. "Look at me, i'm soaked." Spike's eyes turned to Celestia where he could clearly see that her clothes were now transparent. The yellow lace bra she wore was barely holding onto those massive mammaries of hers as they jiggled when she walked over to her dresser and looked for a towel dry off with. It was then Spike noticed the matching yellow lace panties showing off her thick plot as she bent over. Spike swallowed hard and found himself hypnotize by her and started to walk up behind her as she searched the dresser. He wrapped his arms around her and held her; earning a light gasp. "Spike." she said with a light giggle. Spike slowly pulled Celestia away from the dresser and towards the bed where he sat and pulled her into his lap. Moving to her neck, Spike planted soft kisses while moving his claws to cup her breasts. Celestia shuttered as her horn glowled to remove her dress; leaving her in just her underwear. Celestia turned to face Spike just in time to see his eyes begin to glow. Usually when this happens, Spike becomes forceful when it comes to sex, but now, he seems to be taking his time.

Reaching around her back, Celestia unclipped her bra and slowly pulled it off. With her breasts now exposed, Spike's mouth watered. He wasted no time in taking one of them into his mouth while fondling the other. Celestia wrapped her arms around Spike and leaned into him; pushing him to lay the bed. As Spike was having his way with her chest, Celestia's mind started to think about the future. One of those thoughts was, what was going to happen once his cycle ends? Sure he was going to have to sleep with everypony in order to remove the marks he gave them, but how was it going to affect him? Most of everypony were already in relationships and the only reason they decided to go along with this was out of fear that he would one day attack the first mare he'd seen. For Celestia, this was partly true. Yes, she wanted to prevent Spike from forcibly claiming multiple random mares, but in truth she used that as an excuse. The real reason when went along with it was because of her desire to what to have a closer bond with Spike; one that was stronger than anything in Equestria. If Spike were to remove his mark, she and everypony else would be free, but Spike, would once again be all alone. "Spike." she thought as she pulled him in closer towards her. "I won't ever let you be alone again."

Spike suddenly pushed Celestia onto her back and moved on top of her; releasing her breasts with an audible pop. Spike moved up to look Celestia in eyes before she moved in to kiss him passionately. "I've decided." she thought. "I want to be yours, Spike, only yours."

****************************

Outside, a grapple hook with a rope tied to it latched itself onto Celestia's balcony, and down below, Pyro and his friends were starting to climb it. "Come on, we have to hurry!" said Pyro. "I don't wanna miss a thing!"

"H-Hold on, Pyro!" Techrat whined. "I c-can't risk getting the camera wet!"

"Keep it down you two, or else the guards will catch us!" Sunspot warned. All three stallions continued to make their climb towards the top of the balcony; trying their best not to alert any guards. But then again, who the tartarus would willingly be out in this weather; aside from these three idiots. After a few minutes, the three stallions managed to make to the top. One by one, they climbed over the rails and onto the balcony.

"T-That w-was tough." Techrat panted.

"Quit your whining, we're just about......." Pyro stopped mid sentence once he saw that the entrance to Celestia's bedroom was closed off due to the certains. "Oh come on!"

"Well, if she's in there banging somepony, then it makes since she'd want privacy." Sunspot explained. Grumbling under his breath, Pyro headed over to the window and attempted to pry it open.

"Hold on." Techrat warned. "If you do it that hard, you'll either break it, or let on that somepony's out here." Techrat reached into his pocket and pulled out some small tools. "Let me do it." He went over to the door and began picking at the lock. It only took a few seconds before he heard a click. "Got it." he said as he stood. All three stallions gathered around and slowly slid the window open. Peeking their heads through the curtains, their eyes nearly popped out of their sockets while their hearts skipped a beat at the scene before them. There was Celestia, on top of Spike, riding him in the sexiest way imaginable; her thick plot and huge breasts jiggling with each movement she made as she moaned out loud. All three stallions couldn't take their eyes off the goddess that was right in front of them; nearly losing it when she leaned forward and began bouncing her hips up and down which caused her plot to jiggle more than it already was. They were so mesmerised by Celestia's rear that they nearly forgot why they came here in the first place. "The camera, quick." Pyro said in a whisper.

Techrat turned away to get the camera ready when he suddenly stopped and noticed a figure standing in front of him. Back with the other two, they both witness Celestia turning around into the reverse cowgirl position where her breasts were in full display. She moaned up a storm once she felt Spike's claws on her chest; messaging them hard as she bounced up and down on his member. "How I wish I was that lucky bastard right now." Sunspot whispered.

"You and me both, brother." Pyro replied. "Hey, Techrat hurry up with the camera."

"Um, guys, we have a bit of a problem." he said. Pyro growled lightly as he turned to face him, only to discover that Shining Armor and two other stallions were standing there with angry looks on their faces.

"Oh.....shit." he said.

"Oh shit is right." Shining replied. "Grab'em." The two guards grabbed Pyro and Techrat while Sunspot continued to watched Celestia and Spike; unaware of what was going on behind him. Shining went up behind the stallion and place a hand on his shoulder before pulling him back; cover his mouth so that Celestia wouldn't be alerted to who was outside. "Let's go." he said as he leapt off the rail.

"NO, WE WERE CLOSE!" Pyro yelled as he was being hauled away. "SO CLOSE!"

Inside, Celestia stopped bouncing an gasped when she heard the sound of somepony yelling. "What was that?" Spike sat up and wrapped his arms around her.

"I didn't hear anything." he said. Celestia looked around her room; fearing that somepony was in here. Sensing a feeling of distress from her, Spike gently planted small kisses on her shoulder and moved up towards her neck. The princess shuttered a bit before finally relaxing and leaning into her lover. The two of them soon fell backwards onto the bed where they continued to "bond" with one another.

Chapter 11

It was early morning when Applejack walked out of her home, heard loud grunts and groaning coming from the barn, and went to investigate it. Inside was Big Mac, doing push ups with a bunch of heavy items on his back while across from from him was Rainbow Dash, going off on a punching bag. Applejack could see that the two of them were in the middle of a training session. Big Mac was training for the upcoming confrontation with Stargazer, but why was Rainbow training. Was for the same reason?

"Rainbow, what are y'all doin' here?" she asked.

"G-Getting stronger." Rainbow grunted.

"Gettin' stronger fer what?" Applejack wondered. "Don't tell me y'all plannin' on fightin' Stargazer with Big Mac are ya?"

"N-No, its for s-something more i-important." she grunted before stopping. "I'm going after Spike; i'll get him back for what he did to me."

"What are y'all talkin' about?" Applejack wondered. Not wanting to talk about it in front of Big Mac, Rainbow grabbed Applejack's hand and brought her right outside the barn. "Rainbow, what did Spike do?"

"He.......he dominated me." she growled; earning a raised eyebrow from Applejack. "He was in full control of the situation; I couldn't do anything, well that won't happen again. Next time, he'll be the one who'll submit. I'll wreck that little dragon so hard he'll be begging me to stop." Applejack just sighed heavily. Rainbow was normally the dominant one during sex, so to have somepony overpower her and make her submit was something she wouldn't let stand. Leave to her to turn damn near everything into a competition.

****************************

Stargazer awoke with a satisfied smile on his face. Prince Blueblood was killed by his hands; meaning there was now one less obstacle in his way. Much to his dislike, he appeared to be stranded in Appleloosa until parts of the train could be repaired; which looked like it could take all day. Stargazer slept inside on of the functioning cars; avoiding going outside just in case somepony recognized him. It wouldn't be long before word of the prince's death got around, and he was hoping to make it to Ponyville before then. His "ally", Sentinel, was in one of the other cars with his many fanmares. How somepony can have that many mares at his side is something he'll never understand. Sentinel doesn't look like the type that can hold his one in a fight, and would most probably get in his way once they made it to Ponyville. "Well in any case, if we do manage to run into the Canterlot Guard, i'll just tell them Sentinel was the one who killed Blueblood." he thought. "I'm only using him to get to Ponyville anyway, so he'll be useful in that regard."

Stargazer was pulled from his thoughts when he noticed Sentinel walk in. "Speak of the devil." he thought as Sentinel took a seat across from him.

"So you're finally up." he said. "Some of my mares came back from where you fought Blueblood; none of them could pick up that damn axe."

"Not surprising." Stargazer said with crossing his arms. "Bastard must've put some kind of spell on it that only allows him to wield it."

"So what do we do now?" Sentinel asked.

"We keep a low profile until we make to Ponyville." he answered. "It won't be long before word of Blueblood's death spreads, and when that happens, things will be even more difficult for us."

"Can't believe he's actually dead." Sentinel said before forming a smirk. "Serves him right for destroying my city, and putting me in the hospital."

****************************

Spike slowly awoke with Celestia still sleeping next to him. He chuckled as he realized how small she looked as she slept. "She like a little filly taking a nap." he thought. Feeling this was his chance to make it back to Ponyville, Spike slowly crawled out of bed, being extremely careful as to not wake her up, and put on his clothes as fast as possible. He was about to head for the door, when he turned back to Celestia. He went over to her, and gently place a small peck on her cheek, before heading back to the door. Peeking his head out, he saw no signs of the guards anywhere and took this time to walk out into the hallway. Spike only managed to take a couple of steps before he was suddenly encased in a green barrier. "W-What the......!" he said.

"And where do you think you're going, mister?" came a familiar voice. Spike was spun around where he saw Luna standing there with a smirk on her face. "You're not trying to escape are you?"

"Maybe." Spike said bluntly before trying to break free.

"Sorry, Spike, but you're not going anywhere." Luna said with a chuckle. "Ever since you've claimed me as your own, you've never spent anytime with me. Although, I guess I could blame my sister for that, since she's always loved to keep you to herself." With a flick of her finger, the barrier slowly levitated from the floor and began to follow her as she walked down the hallway. Spike, with no choice, stopped trying to break out and just simply went along for the ride; trying his best to ignore his senses telling him that he needs to get to Twilight. He's had a feeling that she was distressed about something and wanted to get to her to see if she was okay, but with Luna having him trapped, there was no way he was going anywhere. She brought Spike all the way to her room where he saw that she was playing the same MMORPG that he does. Now that he thought about it, he really needs to get back to his character and upgrade him before the next raid begins.

"Is that a new staff?" he asked as Luna let him out of his imprisonment.

"Yep." she answered. "One that allows me to cast an many spells as I want for next to nothing. I've wanted to reveal this to the entire guild for a while now."

****************************

In Ponyville, Twilight entered her room wearing only towel after taking a shower. She headed over to her dresser to grab some clothes when she noticed something buried inside it. It was a pure white necklace with an emblem in the shape of Starswirl The Bearded on the end of it. It was then memories of when she received started to flood back to her. Stargazer had given this to her on during the Summer Sun Celebration years ago. That was when their relationship was starting to get serious. Pretty soon, even more memories of their time together started to flood her mind to the point that tears started to form in her eyes.

Twilight didn't even notice Pinkie walking in and sneaking up behind her. The party pony, sensing something was wrong, decided to surprise Twilight by grabbing her from behind; earning her a loud yelp.

"P-Pinkie, when did you get here?!" Twilight asked in shock.

"Oh, justa little while ago." she answered cheerfully. Twilight looked down and saw Pinkie's hands on her breasts; gently fondling them.

"Pinkie, you mind not filling me up?" she asked with a hint of annoyance.

"You know you like it." she giggled. "Besides, it stopped you from thinking about Stargazer."

"W-What?!" Twilight said in shock. "H-How did you....."

"Oh come on, Twilight, I saw you staring at that necklace." Pinkie interrupted. "It obvious you were thinking about him, and when you do that, you get upset, and when you're upset, Spike comes running." Pinkie was right. Since Spike was still in the middle of his cycle, he could tell whenever Twilight was feeling upset and would rush to be with her, but she couldn't help it. For all she knew, Stargazer was in Ponyville right this second about to make his way inside the castle, and if Spike was were to show up right now then........

"Uhhhhh." Twilight moaned as Pinkie gave her breasts a hard squeeze.

"You're doing it again." she warned.

"Okay, okay, i'll stop." Twilight whined while holding back another moan. "J-Just....let me go." Pinkie did just that while giggling uncontrollably.

"Now hurry up and get dressed already, everypony's at Sugar Cube Corner waiting for us." she said. It was decided yesterday that everypony would meet up at Sugar Cube Corner for breakfast in an attempt to keep Twilight's mind off Stargazer, but that looked to be easier said than done since after she slipped on a pair of light purple panties and a matching bra, she stood there staring off into space with another worried look. With a heavy sigh, Pinkie walked up behind Twilight and once again grabbed the alicorn's breasts. Twilight shrieked as her chest was being forcibly fondled with.

****************************

Stardust and Shining Armor were in the courtyard making plans on what to do next while awaiting word from Blueblood. The two of them have to come up with some kind of plan for taking down stargazer and not just attempt to surround him and capture him. The unicorn has made it known that he won't hesitate to kill anypony in his way and has proven it through his actions. Before they could discuss anything further, Dizzy came running towards them with an urgent message. "Guys, there you are!" he said.

"What's up?" Shining asked.

"A report just came in." he explained. "Blueblood was engaged in a fight just outside Appleloosa last night. The towns ponies there said there was magic and explosions being tossed around everywhere."

Stardust looked over at Shining. "You don't think........."

"Stargazer's in Appleloosa." Shining said. "I'll gather a couple guards and we'll go check it out."

****************************

In a secluded area in the kingdom, part of a stone building was being knocked out of place. With a few more good hits, a hole was made, not a massive one, but one that was big enough for a normal size pony to fit through; make that three ponies to fit through. "D-Damn, I thought we'd never get outta there. Okay, Techrat, Sunspot, let's go finish what we started and get that footage of Celestia." said Pyro. The stallion only managed to walk a couple of feet before he realized his friends weren't following him. "Hey, what are you guys doing, hurry up."

"Dude, we need to talk." said Sunspot. "I'm all for seeing tits and plots, but this is too much."

"Yeah, we just got arrested and it's only by sheer luck, the guards didn't notice our escape." Techrat chimed in. "I say we leave Canterlot before anypony finds us."

"What?! You guys wanna leave?!" Pyro yelled. "Come on, we'll never get another change like this ever again in our lives!" Pyro's friends looked at each other before looking back at him and sighed heavily. Techrat pulled out his cam and tossed at his friend.

"Okay, it's clear that there's no changing your mind, so you go and get the footage." he suggested. "At least that way, when you get caught, we'll be long gone from here."

"FINE!" Pyro growled. "And when I get that footage, you'll regret not being there with me!" With that, Pyro stormed off while the other two went off in another direction. Pyro began to make his way through the city; avoiding running into any guards. The last thing he wanted was to go back to that jail cell. Staying out of sight, he made his way towards the spot where Celestia's bedroom was. "Here it is......I think." he said. "They all look the same, but no matter, time to get that footage." Pyro began to scale the walls; digging his fingers and feet into any cracks he could and pulled himself upwards. Every now and then he would stop and look around to see if there were any guards or other witnesses before continuing to advance. As he got closer to the balcony, his mind began to fill up with images of Celestia's naked body from last night. Then began to envision himself in Spike's place; squeezing and groping those huge melons of hers to his heart's content. A goofy smile formed on his face just thinking about it. This caused him to almost slip and snap back to reality. With his mind back on track, he continued his climb; soon making to over the balcony. He laid down breathing heavily from the climb; trying to get his strength back. With much luck, nopony seem to have noticed him climbing the walls which was good for him. The means he had nothing to worry about. Slowly rising to his feet, Pyro headed over to the window and attempted to side it open. "Damn, she must've locked it." he thought. "Thankfully I came prepared."

Pyro reached into his back pocket and pulled out a lockpick. It only took a couple of seconds to jimmy the lock before he heard a click. Very slowly, slid the door open and that's when he heard the sounds of a springboard. He pulled the lens cap off the camera and hit record as he peeked inside where he saw a mare that wasn't Celestia, but instead it was Luna riding some lucky stallion. "Dammit, I got the wrong room." he thought. "But still, having footage of Luna might not be that bad." As he continued recording, he captured Luna leaning forward to grind harder against her lover; unknowingly giving Pyro a full view of her perfectly round plot.

"Oh, Spike." she moaned as her grinding soon turned into bouncing. A pair of claw rested themselves on her luscious plot; squeezing and groping it as Luna's moans increased. "I....I'm cumming." A few thrust later, Luna's body froze and trembled as her wings extended to their fullest extent. With a loud grunt, Spike exploded inside of her; her inner walls milking him for all he's worth. The princess of the night collapsed on top of her dragon lover; panting heavily as her wings fell lazily to her sides. With a cute smile, she cuddled against Spike; enjoying her afterglow. As the two of them laid in bed in content, Pyro shut off the camera as now there was no action going on.

"Danm, I got here just as they were already at the finish line." he thought. Right as he was about to leave in disappointed, he heard somepony knocking at the door. Peeking back inside, he saw Luna groaning and slowly moving out of bed; revealing her naked body before grabbing a robe and headed towards the door. She was talking to somepony, but Pyro had no idea who. At first he was afraid it was one of the guards telling her he and his friends had escaped, but soon when wided eyed as the door opened up a bit wider and walking inside was none other the Celestia; wearing nothing but a yellow robe as she made her way towards Spike as he sat up in bed. Pyro was soon filled with both envy and anger once noticed that it was Spike sharing a bed with Luna. "You've got to be kidding me!" he thought. "That scaly bastard's banging both princesses?!" He let out a soft growling noise as Luna removed her robe and climbed back into bed; wrapping her arms around Spike's neck and nuzzled her cheek against his. Celestia pouted and began to undo the knot on her robe; slowly removing it and revealing her thick, voluptuous body. Pyro's heart nearly stopped upon witnessing this. This was the main thing he'd wanted, to get footage of Celestia, and it looks like he's about to get just that. As the princess crawled into bed, Pyro began to furiously fumble with the camera as he didn't want to miss a single second of what was about to transpire.

In his haste, the camera slipped out of his hands and onto the floor with a loud clunk. This caught Celestia's attention as she turned her head in the direction of the sound and saw Pyro reaching in to grab the camera. Her eyes went wide as her heartbeat started to race. She screamed in terror as she attempted to coverserself up by hiding behind Spike.

"What is it?!" Spike asked as he grabbed her. He heard a loud growl coming from Luna who got out of bed and made her way towards Pyro who looked up and saw an angry, naked Alicorn looking down at him.

"Oh....shit." he said.

****************************

*BOOOOOM*

Sunspot and Techrat were quite a ways from Canterlot when they heard the sound of an explosion that came from the city. "What was that?!" Techrat asked as the two of them turned to look behind them. They could both see a black mushroom cloud from within the city as well as an object shooting out from it like a rocket. The object flew straight up into the air and started to come down; aiming straight towards them.

"HIT THE DECK!" Sunspot yelled as he and Techrat ran for cover. The object came down fast; crashing into the ground making a small crater. Both Sunspot and Techrat went over to the crash site and saw a charred up Pyro twitching every so often as his body heavily smoked.

"H-Help.....m-me." he said.

****************************

It was evening when Shining Armor, Dizzy, and Stardust made it to the outskirts of Appaloosa. It was then they saw a burnt up train car and a field that looked as though a battle had just taken place. "What happened here?" Dizzy asked.

"Looks like a big battle happened here." said Stardust. "Better look around." The three of them walked the battlefield; the smell of burning grass soon filled their noses the further they went in. Dizzy was the first one of them to noticed an object in the distance.

"Hey, what's that over there?" he pointed. "It looks like an.....axe."

"AN AXE?!" Stardust yelled before she ran over to it. There was no doubt in her mind that this axe belonged to Blueblood, but why was just laying here on the ground? Her question would soon be answered once she rose her head and saw massive crater a few feet away. "No." she whispered as she ran over to the massive hole. It was there that she saw nothing but darkness.

"Y-YOUR MAJESTY!" she yelled, but received no answer. Shining and Dizzy soon made it upon the crater and were shocked at the sheer size of it. The two of them began to wonder what in Equestria happened here as Stardust continued calling for Blueblood.

"CAPTAIN! YOUR HIGHNESS!" came the voice of one of the guards. All three ponies looked behind them and saw the two guards who were sent into the town to ask questions walking up to them. Along with them was an orange earth pony stallion in farm attire.

"Who's this?" Shining asked.

"He claims he's seen a stallion matching Stargazer's description." answered of the guards.

The farm pony took a step forward and began to explain himself. "Prince Blueblood appeared in our town yesterday; said he was looking for a dangerous unicorn." he said. "He believed that he was on his way here by train and that we should stay in doors in case things got bad."

"So what happened?" asked Stardust.

"Once the prince saw signs of the train, he headed off to meet it." he answered. "Seconds later, there were massive explosions after massive explosions. We had no idea what was going on. That's when I decided to check things out for myself. Against the wishes of my family, I came all the way out here and that's when I saw the stallion in question rise high into the air and fired a blast at the prince. The result.....is what you're looking at right now." Everypony was in shock with Stardust going over to the stallion and grabbing his shoulders.

"Tell me.....TELL ME!" she demanded; shaking the stallion almost violently. "WHAT HAPPENED TO BLUEBLOOD?!"

"I.....I don't know." he answered. "After the dust settled, the stallion left and there was nothing here. The prince simply disappeared after the fight."

Completely shell shocked, Stardust let the stallion go and slowly started to walk off; Dizzy following after her. Shining Armor couldn't even bring himself to speak. So many thoughts were going through his head right now. One of those thoughts was of Cadence, Celestia, and Luna, and how in Equestria was he going to break the news to them that Blueblood was killed and their reaction? "Tell me....where is that unicorn now?" Shining asked in a low voice.

"I remember seeing him on the train in town." the stallion answered. "It left for Ponyville just about an hour before you got here."

"IT WHAT?!" Shining yelled. He reached into his pocket and frantically pulled out his cell phone; dialing a number as he started to go after Stardust and Dizzy. "Come on, Cadence, pick up! DAMMIT!"

"What's wrong?" Dizzy asked as Shining approached him.

"This is bad! Stargazer's half way to Ponyville right now!" he answered. "Cadence isn't answering her phone, and I have no idea where Pearl is! Can you get in contact with Pinkie?!"

"No problem." Dizzy said as he pulled out his phone. Stardust, with tears in her eyes, had made her way over to Blueblood's axe and stared at it. She closed her eyes and reached out for it; mumbling some kind of chant in an unknown language. The axe responded to her and floated up into her hand; lightning soon surrounding her body.

"I'll make him pay." she growled as her eyes glowed.

****************************

It was after dark when Stargazer finally arrived in Ponyville; exiting the train along with Sentinel and his many, MANY fanmares behind him. "This is where we part ways for now." said Stargazer.

"I agree, my mare is waiting for me." Sentinel said as he walked off in a random direction; his fanmares following after him.

"Seriously, you have a whole harem, why are you so focused on one mare when you have plenty." Stargazer thought as he began to head in the direction of Twilight's castle. Ponyville was the same as it always was at night; everypony was inside resting up after a long day. It didn't take him long before he reached the castle and right now, he could feel his heart racing a million miles a second. This is it, this is what he's fought for; the chance to see Twilight once again and get her back. Walking up to the door, he banged on it; hoping to get her attention. He prepared himself mentally as he heard the door being unlocked before it opened up and there standing in front of him was Twilight who let out a loud gasp as her eyes looked as though they were about to pop out of their sockets.

"It's been a while, Twilight." he said in a soft tone.

****************************

In Canterlot, a naked Celestia awoke in bed with a satisfied smile on her face. She slowly moved to sit up and looked over to see that Luna was still asleep, but Spike was no longer in between the two of them. Lifting her head up, she saw Spike, fully clothed, staring out the window; both of his claws formed a fists as his gritted his teeth and growled softly.

"Spi...." Celestia started, but stopped to gasped as a dark aura began to surround his body.

Chapter 12

"S-Stargazer." Twilight said with a gasp. She slowly started to back away as Stargazer entered the castle. "You.....You're supposed to be...."

"Believe it or not, I got an early parole." he said. He was lying, and she knew he was lying. There's no way in Tartarus anypony who did what he did would ever see the light of day ever again; let alone get paroled. As Twilight looked into her former lover's eyes, she could see something dark and sinister within them. He looked as though he'd just recently killed somepony, and would gladly do it again. Closing the door behind him, Stargazer slowly made his way towards her as she continued to back away.

"W-Why are you here?" she asked.

"To get you back." he said. "Not a day went by that I didn't think of you, and I can tell you feel the same way."

He was right, Twilight has been thinking about him, and wanted to see him again, but now that he was here, what now? Were the feelings she had for him still there, or were they gone forever? Twilight wasn't given time to sort her thoughts out because both she and Stargazer were engulfed in a wave of magical energy and transported into her room. "W-Wha-mmmmfffff." Before Twilight had a chance to figure out what happen, Stargazer closed in and smashed his lips onto hers. With eyes wide, Twilight was pushed backwards until the two of them fell onto her bed. She squirmed underneath him; trying to break free as he deepened the kiss. Breaking away to breathe, Stargazer looked at Twilight; seeing that she had a deep blush on her face as well as a look of fear. He chuckled as it was the same look she gave him on the night the two of them slept together for the first time. Twilight once again struggled to get him off her, but for some reason she couldn't; it was as if her body was getting weaker. Glancing over to her left, she noticed that Stargazer's hand was glowing. He was using magic to keep on the bed. Stargazer positioned himself in between Twilight's legs where he began to grind against her. Twilight sealed her eyes and opened her mouth to release an unwanted moan, but Stargazer quickly captured her lips one again. Moving his right hand up her shirt, he grabbed onto one of her breasts and fondled it furiously as his grinding increased. Tears started to fall from Twilight's eyes as she tried to summon up enough strength to break free. Gripping the sheets hard, Twilight horn started to glow, and in one move, she managed to teleport herself off the bed. "W-What?" Stargazer said once he realized Twilight was gone. He scanned the room to find her kneeling down next to the door; panting heavily. "Hey, why'd you leave like that?" he asked as he got out of bed. "I thought you were into it." Before Twilight knew it, he was standing over her with dark desires in his eyes.

He grabbed her by the arm and pulled her up, but Twilight pushed him away as hard as she could. Not allowing that to deter him, Stargazer moved back to grab Twilight once again. "I see, you're playing hard to get, aren't you?"

"I'm not playing anything." she said; slapping his hand away as she stood up. "You think i've forgotten what you did?!"

"I only did what I did because he was getting in the way of our relationship." he explained.

"Spike wasn't getting in the way of anything." she defended. "If anything else, he was actively trying to stay away." Her words fell on deaf ears as Stargazer grabbed her shoulders and threw her back onto the bed; the dark desires in his eyes grew as he approached her. Twilight quickly put up a barrier separating the two of them. Stargazer, getting a bit annoyed, shattered the barrier with a wave of his hand.

"It was because of him, our relationship was destroyed." he said. "But we can rekindle it, Twilight. It's not too late for us." With a snap of his fingers, Twilight found herself being magically bound to the bed. She struggled to get free, but to no avail as Stargazer climbed back in bed and moved on top of her. "After tonight, you'll be mine once again."

"N-No!" she yelled. Right now, at this very moment, Twilight regretted ever wanting to see him again. He was no longer the stallion she knew; the stallion she fell in love with, but somepony completely different. In one move, he grabbed her shirt and ripped it open; revealing her busty chest barely being contained in a dark purple lace bra. "Stop it!" she begged.

"Holy shit, have they've gotten bigger?" Stargazer thought as he rested his face on top of them. Sliding his hand down towards Twilight's waist, he grabbed the side of her skirt and ripped it straight off her; revealing her matching dark purple lace panties. Twilight was about to scream out, but Stagazer placed a magical seal over her mouth to keep her quiet. Shaking her head with even more tears now streaming down her face, Twilight tried one last ditch effort to get away by lighting up her horn, however, the seal over her mouth also served as a magic canceler. Lifting his head, Stargazer looking into Twilight's tear filled eyes with a dark smirk. "Remember when you told me that lizard was more of a stallion than I'll ever be, well, after tonight, you'll see that's not the case." Twilight's muffled screams increased as Stargazer grabbed her bra and attempted to rip it off her. Right now, Twilight begged for somepony, anypony to stop this from happening to her.

"Spike....SPIKE!" screamed in her head just as Stargazer managed to finally rip the fabric off her; exposing her breasts to him. "SPIIIIIIIIIIIIKE!"

*BOOOOOOOOM*

Out of nowhere, somepony burst through the wall; catching both Twilight and Stargazer off guard. "W-What the......." Stargazer was suddenly grabbed by the neck, pulled off Twilight, then slammed to the floor. He was then picked up, by the neck, then thrown right through the window. Stargazer's body flew to the ground where it rolled a few feet before stopping. Quickly rising to his feet, he managed to witness something burst from the castle wall and sock him right in the face; sending him flying through a random house. When the unicorn landed, he quickly put up a barrier to block the oncoming attack. It was then he saw the face if his attacker. "Y-You!" he yelled. The barrier shattered and Stargazer's attacker grabbed him by the neck once again holding him high in the air; the look of pure anger and death was written all over his face.

****************************

Back in the castle, Cadence ran through the halls on her way towards Twilight's room. Bursting through the door, she was shocked to see Twilight strapped to the bed wearing nothing but her panties and a seal over her mouth. "TWILIGHT!" she screamed as she ran over and freed her. "OH MY GOSH, WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU?!" Cadence began to frantically search Twilight's body for any kind of bruises; thankfully there wasn't any. At that point, the rest of Twilight's friends ran in. Upon seeing her in her current state, Rainbow's anger shot through the roof. She hadn't felt like this since the night Spike was attacked. With no words said, Rainbow grabbed Applejack and took off out through the giant hole in the wall, and went after Stargazer.

"Twilight!" Pinkie spoke with fear. "Did he......did he.......?"

"N-No.....he didn't." she said; shaken up by what she just went through. "S-Somepony saved me b-before he could d-do anything."

"It was Big Mac." Fluttershy said. "We got a call from Shining Armor, and when he told us the Stargazer might be in Ponyville, Big Mac took off before either of us knew it."

*BOOOOOOOM*

A shockwave from an explosion caused the entire castle to shake. Everypony ran toward the hole on the wall and saw a massive puff of black smoke on the other side of town. Twilight turned away and headed for the closet to gather a new pair of clothes. "Twilight want you doing?" Pinkie asked. The purple alicorn said nothing as she started to get dressed.

****************************

As the dust settled, Stargazer was once again face to face with his attacker, Big Mac. The red stallion had the look of pure unadulterated rage on his face as he clench his fist and charged for another attack. Giving Stargazer next to no time to react, Big Mac grabbed the unicorn by the neck and ran with him; smashing his head against every and anything he could before throwing him into the small bridge; breaking it in half. Stargazer emerged from the wreckage with a powerful wave of magic. Locking on to Big Mac, to fired a blast the red stallion; hitting him and knocking him away, however, Big Mac recovered extremely quickly and charged at Stargazer once again; grabbing a huge chunk of the ground and throwing it at him. Stargazer quickly blew it up; leaving himself open so Big Mac could leap through the debris and grab him by the neck once again. "Y'all dare show y'all face here again?!" he growled as his grip grew tighter. "Just what were y'all about ta do ta Twilight?!" Stargazer answered with a choking sound. This caused Big Mac to slam him into the ground while still gripping his neck. "Hey, ah asked y'all a question. It's only polite ta answer."

Stargazer felt himself begin to lose consciousness when the pressure around his neck was suddenly lifted. Somepony had attacked Big Mac from behind which caused him to let go. Stargazer coughed almost violently as air started to refill his lungs. He was then grabbed by the arm and helped up to his feet. "You okay?" came a familiar voice. "Don't worry, my mares will keep him busy long enough for us to escape."

"S-Sentinel." Stargazer managed to breathe.

"Come on, let's go." he said. The two stallions only managed to get a few steps away when Rainbow and Applejack landed in front of them.

"YOU TWO ARE WORKING TOGETHER?!" Rainbow yelled the second she saw Sentinel.

"You know them?" Stargazer asked. Before Sentinel was able to answer, Applejack delivered a powerful punch to the stallion; sending him flying off in a random direction. Stargazer's attention was so focused on Sentinel's ragdoll body, that he didn't noticed a foot coming for his face. Rainbow swift kicked the unicorn; sending him a few feet away. Stargazer landed on his feet and looked up just in time to see Rainbow flying towards him. With quick thinking, the unicorn conjured up a powerful wind magic and blew the pegasus away, but that left him open to an attack from Applejack. The farm pony came running to the side of him to deliver the same powerful punch as before, but at the last second, Stargazer managed to dodge the attack. "Y'all tried ta rape Twilight!" Applejack said with extreme anger. "Ah'll fuckin' kill ya!"Applejack wasted no time in entering a fight with Stargazer; every punch and kick that was thrown was either dodged or blocked by the other party. Applejack was finally able to land a kick on Stargazer; causing him to stumble backwards until his back came against the side of a house. The farm pony quickly capitalized on this by running full speed and delivered a punch, but thanks to Stargazer's quick reflexes, he managed to move out of the way just as her fist went through the wall; destroying it and revealing the inside of the building. Stargazer ran behind Applejack, wrapped his arms around her waist, and proceeded to suplex her on top of a nearby wagon.

Getting up to his feet, he was grabbed and picked up into the air by Rainbow Dash, who begin to continuously deliver punches to his face as the two of them flew out of the village. Applejack quickly recovered and followed after them. Not far from her, Big Mac managed to throw off the last of Sentinel's fanmares just in time to see Rainbow flying off with Stargazer. With a growl, he also took off after them; with ever more of Sentinel's fanmares chasing him.

****************************

Rarity laid in bed panting heavily after participating in a certain "activity" with Pearl. The unicorn had returned to Ponyville earlier that day and wanted nothing more than to get Rarity in bed with him as quick as possible so that she wouldn't run the extremely high risk of falling into Spike's arms. Rarity slowly moved to sit up, her large breasts jiggling as she did so, just in time for a random stallion to burst through her window. Rarity screamed as loud as she could as she quickly grabbed the sheet to cover herself up just as Pearl shot up; confused as to what just happened. Using his magic, a pair of shorts appeared on his body as he got out of bed. He looked over at the stallion who was groaning in pain before he sat up. "Damn, she hits hard." he said.

"Hey, I know you, you're that Sentinel pony for Baltimare." Pearl said.

"S-Sentinel?!" Rarity yelled in shock. Sentinel, ignoring both pony's existence, stood up and made his way over the window; stumbling a bit as he was still recovering. He called over some of his fanmares before he leapt out of the house and landed in their arms.

"Come on, let's find my Twilight." he said. Pearl headed over to the window just in time to see Sentinel leaving with his mares. As he turned to face Rarity, he saw her putting on a white lace bra with matching panties in a rush.

"Rarity, what are you......" he started.

"If Sentinel's here, then he's looking for Twilight." she said. "I have to warn her."

"Um, i'm pretty sure she can take care of herself." Pearl said; hoping to persuade her to stay. Before anything else could come out of his mouth, a loud explosion that caused the entire house to shake went off. Putting on the last bit of her clothes, Rarity ran out of her room and downstairs; leaving Pearl behind. "Rarity, wait!" he yelled. Rarity made it outside where she saw the other citizens of Ponyville running for their lives as parts of a building flew threw the air.

"Sweet Celestia!" she gasp. Wasting no more time, Rarity started to run towards Twilight's castle as the entire village was being ripped apart all around her. It wasn't long before she found the source of all this chaos. Right in front of her, three mares came crashing through a home with Big Mac slamming one of them into a ground. The red stallion roared with anger as one of them got up and proceeded to dropkick him. Big Mac acted quickly and grabbed the mare's feet, swung her around, and threw her away. Her body went crashing into the town's clocktower; causing parts of it to collapse to the ground. The red stallion roared Stargazer's name before leapinging. "Stargazer's here too?!" Rarity said in shock before continuing her way towards the castle. She didn't get far when a giant piece of debris flew right over her head. In danger of being crushed, Rarity screamed out, only to be saved at the last second by Cadence.

"Rarity, you okay?!" she said.

"Cadence, oh it's just awful!" Rarity said as she ran to her. "Sentinel's back!"

"WHAT?!" Cadence said in shock.

"He came crashing through my window not too long ago!" she explained. "He said he was looking for Twilight! Where is she?!"

"I don't know." Cadence admitted. "She left the castle without telling us anything! We lost her as soon as all of this started. LOOK OUT!" Cadence grabbed Rarity and pulled her behind her before firing a magical blast at a giant piece of debris that was headed towards them; blowing it up. "We can't stay here, come on!" Both mares started to run off in a random direction as it was too dangerous to be standing in one spot for too long.

****************************

Rainbow and Stargazer crashed on the outskirts of Ponyville with Stargazer grabbing the pegasus by the mane and throwing her into a nearby tree. Rainbow landed on said tree, then launched herself off it back towards Stargazer; delivering a powerful punch to his face. The unicorn stumbled backwards a bit before regaining his balance. "Fucking rainbow DYKE!" he yelled. This earned him a swift kick to the face which caused his entire body to spin. Gathering magic in his hand, the unicorn was about to blast Rainbow into oblivion, but he was grabbed by the shoulder and spun around where a massive fist connected to his face. Stargazer's body flew through three trees before coming to stop at the fourth. He growled when he saw the face of his attacker, Big Mac. "I'm ending this." he growled as black, green, and purple aura started to surround his body. "Time to di......" Stargazer froze when he saw Big Mac, now glowing with white aura, standing in from of him. The red stallion grabbed the unicorn by the neck then threw him high into the air. Big Mac was going to follow up by launching himself after him, but was stopped from doing so when Stargazer countered by firing a dark wave at him. The wave hit Big Mac head on causing a massive explosion that destroyed all the trees nearby. Rainbow Dash was forced to take cover somewhere so the she wouldn't get caught up in the shockwave that passed.

When the dust settled, all that was left was giant crater, and Big Mac was nowhere to be found. Believing he killed him, a dark grin appeared on Stagazer's face before breaking out into full grown laughter.

*POW*

Stargazer's celebration was cut short when a big red fist connected with the side of his face. He flew a few feet away before stopping then looking right Big Mac. "WHAT?!" he yelled as the red stallion prepared for another attack. Stargazer began to power up some more; dark markings beginning to cover his body as his eyes turned color. This time he wasn't going to play around, and either was Big Mac as he too began to power up. Both stallions charged at each; causing major shockwaves in the sky with blow that was thrown. On the ground, Rainbow watched in astonishment at the sheer force of their battle. The two of them were moving so fast that she could barely keep up with them. Back in the sky, both stallions locked hands and began pushing against each other in a show of strength. For while, the two were evenly matched, that is until, Stargazer took it up notch. The aura around his body grew, as did his strength, when a dark smirk formed on his face before he brought his knee to Big Mac's stomach; causing him to let out a loud grunt, then hammering him into the ground. Big Mac landed with a loud thump with Stargazer landing next to him. The unicorn delivered a swift kick; knocking Big Mac a few feet away before firing a blast of magic at him. Big Mac managed to move out of the way before the attack hit; soon surprising Stargazer by powering and launching himself right at him. Stargazer quickly held his hand up; putting up a barrier to protect himself. This didn't help as Big Mac simply smashed through it and grabbed the unicorn by the neck. Stargazer fired a beam from his eyes into Big Mac's shoulder; forcing him to let go as he grabbed his shoulder and growled in pain; taking a few steps backwards. Stargazer took this time to power up his fist and deliver a shockwave punch to the stallion's face, but this act was thwarted when out of nowhere, Applejack came in and drop kicked the unicorn in his face. "Y'all ain't hurtin' mah brother!" she yelled.

"Inbred bitch!" he growled. The Apple Siblings both took a fighting stance; both ready to attack. Just then, there was rumble. It started off low but grew over time. Coming up to them were about 30 of Sentinel's fanmares; each one as ready to fight as the next.

"Stargazer, Sentinel sent us to help you!" one of them said.

"What in Tarnation?!" Applejack said. "Sentinel's here too?!"

"That's right!" she said. "And that lizard friend of yours is gonna pay for what he did him! He'll meet the same fate as Prince Blueblood!"

"B-Blueblood?" Applejack said. "What're y'all talking.........." Before anything else could be said, black clouds began to quickly gather; along with the sound of thunder and lightning.

"No." Stargazer said as he looked up into the sky. A massive bolt of lightning came shoot down right at him; causing everypony to flee in terror. Stargazer quickly put up a barrier blocking the attack and causing a shockwave to spread across the land. Seconds later, another massive bolt of lightning came from the sky and landed a few feet in front of Stargazer. When the dust settled, standing in from of him was a very angry mare wielding a certain axe. With a powerful scream of anger and pain, she launched herself at him. Stargazer put up another barrier to shield himself with but it was instantly shattered when the axe hit it. The unicorn threw a punch but she managed to block it and deliver a punch of her own; causing him to stumble back a bit. Using the axe, she fired a beam of lightning at him; sending hundreds of bolts of lightning through his body. Stargazer yelled out in pain before his body exploded a wave of purple, green, and black magical energy that managed to push the mare back a bit.

*BOOOOM*

Both ponies looked up at the sky and saw a rainbow shock wave. Seconds later, a rainbow missile coming down fast at them. Stargazer was about to launch a counter attack but was struck with another lightning wave that distracting him long enough to get hit by the missile. Upon impact, a massive explosion was cause and a rainbow mushroom cloud rose into the sky; catching the attention of everypony in Ponyville. It took awhile for the dust to settle, but when it did, Stargazer was holding Rainbow Dash by her neck; choking her. "I'm done playing." he growled as he increased hold on her. Rainbow grabbed his arm as she struggled to breathe. Coming up on the side of him was Big Mac who attempted to deliver a powerful punch, but Stargazer caught it then slammed Rainbow into him. With the two of them on the ground, Stargazer was about to fire a blast at them, but was interrupted by another lightning strike. He instead fired a blast at her but she was shielded by a large pink shield. Appearing on the side of her was Shining Armor.

"I thought I told you to wait till reinforcements got here, Stardust." he said.

"Shining Armor." Stargazer growled as a black, purple, and green aura began to surround his body once again.

"Dark magic?!" Shining said in shock.

"How very observant of you." Stargazer continued. "I was hoping to use this against that lizard, but these idiots forced my hand." Looking down at both Big Mac and Rainbow, he delivered a swift kick and knocked the two of them away. Stargazer slowly started to make his way towards Shining and Stardust, when he noticed a large group of ponies coming up behind them. A smirk appeared on his face once he saw who it was. "Took you long enough to get here, Sentinel." he said. Both Shining and Stardust turned around to see Sentinel and the rest of his fanmares behind him making their way onto the field. Behind Stargazer were the first group of fanmares ready for a fight to defend their lover. Surrounded from both sides, Shining and Stardust saw no escape. That is until they were both captured within a giant pink bubble and whisked away before anything else could happen; Rainbow, Applejack, and Big Mac being whisked away as well. All four ponies were saved by Cadence who brought them to a wide open field where the others were. "Princess Cadence." said Stardust.

"Thank goodness I caught you." she said.

"It won't help." came Stargazer's voice. Stargazer had teleported himself and his allies right to where they were. "Long time so see, Cadence." he said as he looked around. "Tell me, where's my mare?"

"She's NOT your mare, Stargazer!" she yelled. Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, and Rainbow Dash all took a fighting stance right next to the princess while Big Mac took a protective stance in front of Fluttershy. Stardust charged up her axe while Shining armor powered up. Stardust herself began shaking with anger as she gripped the axe harder; catching Cadence's attention.

"Stardust, what are you doing......with Blueblood's......axe?" she asked as studied how Stardust was staring at Stargazer. She turned her attention towards the unicorn and saw a dark smirk on his face before looking back at Stardust. "Shining, why does she......" she started, but stopped mid sentence as she noticed the same look on her husbands face. She started to get a nervous feeling in her chest before she spoke up again. "Shining, where's Blueblood?" Shining answered by lowering closing his eyes and lowing his head.

"I'm sorry, Cadence." he said in a low voice.

*BOOOOOOOM*

It all happened so fast. Within the blink of an eye, Cadence's fist was up against Stargazer's as she screamed out on a fit of rage. The unicorn managed to push the princess back and was about to counter when Shining and the others charged at them. "GO, MY MARES!" Sentinel yelled. "Show no mercy!" His multiple fanmares all charged at once and a battle soon erupted; magical energy blasts, lightning strike, punches and kicks were all thrown. With a loud scream of rage, Cadence bulldozed through a horde of mares in order to get to Stargazer. She was going to rip him limb from limb for what he did to Blueblood. After blowing away ten mares with pink magical energy, Cadence turned her attention towards Stargazer. Spreading her wings, she launched herself towards him; charging up her fist to deliver a powerful punch. Stargazer saw this coming and stopped her attack by catching it. The unicorn then grabbed her by the neck then slammed her to the ground. "Did you really think you were actually going to hurt me with that?" he taunted. Seeing his wife in trouble, Shining charged at Stargazer from behind, but was soon caught off guard when said unicorn back fisted him into the ground.

"Shining!" Cadence yelled before having her head stomped on.

"Now, tell me where Twilight is?" he demanded.

"W-What do you p-plan on doing with her?" she asked.

"I'm going to remind her what REAL stallion feels like, and when I do, NOTHING will separate us again." he explained while putting a bit more pressure on her. "Now tell me where she is!" Cadence yelled out in pain as she felt her head being crushed. She struggled to get free as Stargazer increased the pressure. "Answer me, where is TWILIGHT?!" he demanded. "Tell me now, and i'll make sure Blueblood has company!" Cadence's screams increased which alerted everypony else. Suddenly, there a was a roar of thunder and massive lightning bolt struck Stargazer in the chest which sent him flying back. Stardust chased after him by launching herself in the air and coming down right in front of him as he rose to his feet. With a deep growl, Stargazer fired a blast at her; blowing her away. However, coming up behind him were Rainbow Dash and Rarity; both about to deliver a swift kick to the back of his head, but he saw them coming and blew them away with a wave of his hand. Once again, Stardust attacked by launching herself at Stargazer while his back was turn. She was going to use this chance to cut him him down, however that wasn't going to be the case. Stargazer managed to grab the axe, though it immediately began shocking him, and flipped Stardust over his head onto the ground; the sharp end of the axe now close to her neck. The earth pony mare tried with all her might to push it away, but Stargazer was just too strong for her. "Tell the prince I said hi." he said in a dark tone as he pushed harder. The sharp edge was inching closer and closer to her neck until...............

*BAM*

Stargazer was hit in the back of the head with a heavy object. Looking up, he saw large glowing stone hammer floating in front of him. Suddenly, it flew back towards him to which he managed to dodge out of the way before it hit him. Looking behind him, he saw that the stone hammer had landed into the hands of a certain alicorn. "Twilight!" he said in shock.

Author's Notes:

Next Chapter: Twilight joins the battle, and she won't be alone.

Chapter 13

"Twilight, what're you........" Stargazer started, but was cut of when Twilight charged at him; swinging her stone hammer. In one move, she hit her former lover in the face; sending flying upwards. When he landed on his back, Twilight conjured up a shield and threw it at him. Stargazer managed to rise to his feet and dodge it, but at that point, Twilight threw the hammer at him; intentionally missing him and aiming for the shield behind him. Both weapons collided and gave off a powerful sonicwave sound that forced Stargazer to his knees. Both weapons flew back into Twilight's hands as she ran towards him. The unicorn had next to no time to react as she began wailing on him with all her might using both weapons. After swift kick to the chest that sent Stargazer stumbling back a bit, Twilight threw the shield at him; bouncing it off his face, then using the hammer to hit it right back at his face again. She then dropped both weapons on the ground and gathered up magical energy in both her hands before firing at him; blowing him up in the process. Panting heavily, Twilight looked on as the dust settled to see if she at least knocked him out. Just then, a black, purple, and green aura rose from the dust and Stagazer launched himself at Twilight; grabbing her by the neck.

"If I didn't know any better, i'd say you were trying to kill me." he said as he gave her neck a little squeeze. "Now what do you say we pick up where we left off." A dark smirk formed on his face as he thought about all the things he was going to do to her, thankfully before he could act on those thoughts, he was hit from behind with such force, it caused him to let go of Twilight. As he turned to see who it was that attacked him, two giant fists connected with his face. Stumbling backwards, Twilight was pulled away to safety by her brother while Big Mac prepared for another attack; white aura surrounding his body.

Angry that Twilight was taken from him again, Stargazer released a loud roar and exploded a wave of dark magic at everypony; blowing them away. Even more black markings began to surround his body as his aura grew to the point that he started to look more like a demon than a pony. Twilight watched on in horror as she had no idea that he could do this; that this stallion who was once her lover was now a user of dark magic. "Everypony, fall back!" Shining ordered.

Upon seeing this, Sentinel and his fanmares were ecstatic. There was no way in Equestria they were gonna lose now. "My mares, get behind Stargazer!" he ordered. Sentinel's fanmares did as they were told and gathered behind the stallion; Sentinel standing side by side with his ally.

*BOOOOOM*

Out of nowhere, there was a loud sonic boom from the sky before somepony landed in front of Sentinel and Stargazer. When the dust settled, the red unicorn was shocked to see who it was. "E-E-Ebony?!"

"I'm not the only pony who's here." he said as he pointed. Everypony looked behind them and saw a large group of ponies coming their way. It was the rest of Sentinel's crew along with a massive group of ponies from Baltimare.

"Gravel, everypony, you're here!" he stated.

"We only came because Ebony wouldn't shut up about honor and friendship and shit like that." said Aqua. "That, and the fact that you're completely hopeless without us." Touched that his friends came to help him, Sentinel was almost moved to tears, but then he noticed the other ponies behind them.

"Who are they?" he asked.

"Some biker gang that was attacked by Prince Blueblood." Gravel answered.

"WE WE'RE JUST ATTACKED, WE WERE HUMILIATED!" yelled their leader. "WE'RE HERE FOR ONE THING AND ONE THING ONLY, REVENGE!"

"As soon as they heard we were coming here, they insisted of following." Moonstone explained.

"SENTINEL!" screamed the rest of the group which turned out to be even more of Sentinel's fanmares. With even more ponies in place, Sentinel felt that nothing could stop him; Twilight would soon be his for the taking. As everypony on their side got into position and began making their way towards Twilight and the others, Aqua confronted Gravel.

"Dude, are we really putting out lives on the line so that Sentinel can get laid?" Aqua asked.

"I don't about you, but as soon as the battle starts i'm hightailing it outta here." Gravel answered. "The only reason I even agreed to show up was because I couldn't take any more of Ebony's speeches."

Over with Twilight and the others, they were completely outnumbered. The sheer size of what was coming towards them would make anypony run and hide, but not them, they've been through much worse than this. Twilight and Shining were the first ones to step up along with Big Mac and Stardust; both powered up and prepared to attack. Cadence and Rainbow Dash both spread their wings; ready to take off while Pinkie and Rarity took a fighting stance. Fluttershy, though terrified, also stood alongside her friends. While everypony was beginning to make their way towards the massive army, Applejack stayed behind due to her phone ringing for some reason. "What the.....ah thought ah left this thing back home." she said as she pulled it out. "Who in Equestria is this?" It was a number she didn't recognized. She didn't want to, but something told her to answer it. "Hello?"

"Applejack, can y'all hear me?" came a familiar voice.

"G-Granny?" she said in shock.

"On yer left." she said. Applejack had no idea what she meant by that until she turned around and saw a portal with a bright light shining through that caught the attention of the others as well as their enemies. Appearing through the portal was Granny Smith and Starburst. The two ponies scanned the area before Starburst snapped his fingers and multiple portals started opening. Coming through them was the entire population of the Crystal Empire; each one of them brandishing a weapon of some kind, but they weren't the only ones. Even more portals opened up, and coming through them, were the Canterlot Guards; dressed in armor and carrying shields and spears. From out of nowhere, both Celestia and Luna dropped from the sky and landed in front of them; both sisters had magical auras surrounding their bodies.

"Is this everypony?" Granny asked as she and everypony else marched to the front lines.

"What, you wanted more?" Sunburst answered. Just then everypony looked over to their left and saw a massive group of ponies coming towards them. It was the entire population of Ponyville; being led by Dizzy and Starlight. The entire area was being drowned out in chants as everypony got in position. Sentinel, Stargazer, and everypony else were in sheer astonishment at how large of a number their opponents were in size; they were basically going up against all of Equestria.

Granny Smith took the lead; ready to give the command to attack. "MY LITTLE PONIES!" she yelled as she stuck out her hand; her trustie shotgun soon flying into it. "Kill them all."

With a loud battle cry, they charged; the unicorns and earth ponies running full speed while the pegasi took flight. Stargazer simply pointed at them which was the signal for everypony on his side to charge. Both sides ran towards each other until they collided in the middle of the field. Shining Armor grabbed a mare and flipped her over his shoulder just as Applejack dropped kicked another. Cadence blasted a stallion in the face before spreading her wings and taking off into the air. Dark Forest, from the Crystal Empire, led a small group of crystal ponies and bulldozed through the biker gang while while Bright Mac jumped on the back of one of them and stabbed him repeatedly. A few of Sentinel's mares took to the sky for a aerial attack, but were shot down by Celestia and Luna. Both sisters stood back to back as the spun around blasting every pegasi they could. Granny opened fire on just about anypony she could just as Pear Butter managed to break the arm of one of the biker gangs.

"Mind explaining what going here?!" she said to Granny.

"Explain later, fer now, just fight!" she said as she continued to open fire.

In the middle of the battlefield, Big Mac soon came face to face with an old enemy. "It's been a while, my rival." said Ebony. "Shall we finish where we left off?" With a powerful roar, Ebony launched himself at Big Mac. The red unicorn made a fist and delivered a powerful punch to the stallion; creating a small shockwave and knocking him out. The non-stop training to face off against Stargazer had served him well. Big Mac was way stronger than Ebony and actually held back, otherwise, he could've killed him with that punch.

As the battle raged on, Twilight came face to face with Stargazer. "Twilight, come back to me." he said. "We can still make this right."

"Stargazer, i'll be honest with you." she said. "All i've ever wanted was to see you again; to hear your voice one more time."

"I knew it!" he said in excitement. "I knew you still cared."

"But." she continued. "After everything you've done up until now, and what you're becoming , I.....I want NOTHING to do with you!" The excitement on stargazer's face was quickly wiped clean as Twilight's word settled in and was replaced with anger. Once again, purple, black, and green aura began to surround his body as the ground shook under him.

"So, that's how it is, huh?" he growled. "Fine then, if I can't have you, then NOPONY CAN!" Stargazer began to take on an even more demonic form, with his mane turning black and growing long, his nails turning into sharp claws, and his teeth becoming fangs. Twilight stood in shock that somepony could utilize dark magic in this way. She knew Stargazer was talented, but not THIS talented.

"TWILIGHT, LOOK OUT!" came a voice. A white blur came and scooped the alicorn up just as Stargazer charged at her. Looking up, Stargazer saw that it was Celestia who saved her. He was about to shoot the two of them out of the sky when he was attacked by from behind by Big Mac; now glowing with a white aura. "So this is that "final form" of yours everypony kept going on about, huh?" he growled. "Let's put it to the test." Both stallions charged at one another and each threw a punch. Once their fists connected, it caused a massive shockwave that blew everypony nearby away. The two stallions began throwing punches and kicks that threaten to to crack the earth open. Stargazer was about to blast Big Mac in the face, but the red stallion grabbed his hand and bent it backwards before uppercutting him high in the air. Big Mac leapt after him, but was caught by one of Sentinel's pegasi fanmares. Big Mac broke free from her grasp, grabbed her by the mane and used her as a shield to protect himself from a dark magical blast the Stargazer had fired towards them. The mare was sent to the ground screaming in pain; exploding on impact.

Celestia and Twilight landed a few feet away from the fight just in time to see said explosion. "C-Celestia, what are you doing here?!" she said. "Where's Spike?!"

"Don't worry about Spike." she said. "Right now, we have to focus on Stargazer."

*BOOOOOM*

Up in the sky, both Big Mac and Stargazer engaged in battle once again; causing shockwaves throughout the sky with each blow. Big Mac managed to punch Stargazer; sending him back a bit where he was captured in a barrier. The unicorn attempted to break free but to no avail. At that point, Celestia and Twilight flew up behind him. "Stargazer, stand down!" Celestia ordered.

Stargazer chuckled darkly. "That's exactly what Blueblood told me before I ended him." he said. Celestia and Twilight froze.

"Y-You what?" Celestia said as she felt her heart drop. It wasn't true, he was just trying to get in her head. That's what she told herself at least, but upon looking him in the eyes, she could tell that there was some truth as to what he was saying.

"Oh come on, why do you think that little bitch down there is wielding that axe of his?" he said. "Why isn't he here? It's because he thought he was big and bad enough to take me on, and now he's nothing but worm food." At this point, Celestia took down the barrier and grabbed Stargazer by the neck; her anger reaching levels she never thought possible. Stargazer simply chuckled.

"Don't act as if you cared." he said. "I've been around you long enough to know how you really feel about him. You actually wanted him gone so that you wouldn't have to deal with a male in the family." An orange aura surrounded Celestia's body before taking off towards the ground; slamming Stargazer into it and causing a crater. "You gave Cadence her own kingdom, and Twilight her own castle, and what did you give Blueblood.......nothing." he continued. "Face it, you never loved him." Celestia screamed and began to pummel the unicorn into the ground; tears streaming down her face. This bastard hurt her son, killed her nephew, and now, she was gonna make him pay. Her attacks and screams grew with each passing second, but in her hysterical state, she managed to make an opening for Stargazer to exploit. In a single move, the unicorn blasted the princess away which gave him enough time to rise out of the ground. Thanks to use of dark magic, he was able to heal himself of his injuries, but unfortunately, it wasn't fast enough as Twilight fired a lavender beam; hitting him from behind. Falling back to the ground on knee, he lifted his head to see Big Mac's fist coming at him, but before the punch could land, a white blur came out of nowhere and grabbed the unicorn. It was Celestia, and she wasn't done with him yet.

****************************

Granny Smith grabbed one of Sentinel's fanmares by the arm and flipped her over her shoulder before grabbing another one by the mane and delivered a powerful punch to the stomach, then threw her to the ground.

"SENTINEL....IS GREAT!" screamed another mare as she ran towards the elderly mare holding a hand grenade. Granny simply grabbed the mare by the shoulders, kneed her in the stomach, then grabbed the grenade and shoved it in her mouth before picking her up and throwing her into a group of mares running towards her. Just as Granny turned her back towards them, the grenade went off causing a massive explosion; engulfing all the mares.

No survivors.

With the fire raging behind her, Granny called forth her shotgun and opened fire on group of bikers. "WHERE'S STARGAZER?!" she yelled as she shot three more of them. One of the bikers charged at her from behind with a knife, and without looking, Granny flipper her gun over her shoulder and pulled the trigger; shooting him in the face before she continued forward. Not that far from her, Applebloom, armed with a bat, knocked out two mares and was going for a third when she was tackled from behind by one of the bikers.

"Where's Blueblood?!" he yelled as he attempted to wrestle the bat from her.

"Git off me!" she yelled as she tried to fight him off. Out of nowhere, a giant fist hit the biker in the face and sent him flying off. Applebloom lifted her head to see the face of the one who saved her. "PA!" she said.

"Y'all alright, baby gurl?" he asked. Before she could answer, a large group of bikers gathered together and started to make their way towards them. Taking a protective stance in front of his daughter, Bright Mac cracked his knuckles and prepared to fight. "Y'all stay here, ah'll handle this." he said.

"Y'all really gonna take all'em by y'all selves?" she asked.

"Don't y'all worry none, baby gurl." he reassured. "Ah ain't alone." As Bright Mac began to make his way towards the bikers, he was soon joined by his wife, Pear Butter, as well as, Night Light, Twilight Velvet, Bow Hothoof, Windy Whistles, Hondo Flanks, Cookie Crumbles, Mr. and Mrs. Shy, Igneous Rock, and Cloudy Quartz; the parents of the mane 6. All 12 ponies sped walked towards the bikers before jogging, then eventually ran towards them. Both sides clashed with Night Light and Velvet firing off magical beams blowing some of the bikers away, while Pear, Cloudy, and Igneous took on a few more. Bright Mac punched the ground causing a large shockwave that sent a few bikers into air where they were caught by Mr. and Mrs. Shy, and Windy Whistles, then were thrown away into the distance. Hondo and Cookie put up barriers around everypony as Bow Hothoof flew high into the air, then came down at record speeds; landing on top of the bikers and causing a kind of rainbow nuclear explosion that blew everypony away. When the dust settled, one of the bikers started to sneak up behind him with a knife, but that plan was thwarted when Velvet captured him with a barrier. She proceeded to pick him up and throw him towards the other side of the battlefield. Mr. and Mrs. Shy landed and regrouped with the other parents just as even more bikers started to make their way towards them. Night Light and Cookie Crumbles took the lead; both powered up and fired upon the group as Bright Mac and Bow Hothoof charged at them. This fight was going to go on for some time.

****************************

High in the air, Celestia and Stargazer clashed violently with the unicorn taunting her with every chance he got; constantly throwing in her face how little she cared for Blueblood. The princess threw a punch that connected with his face; a massive shockwave flowing across the sky. Stargazer's body flew back due to the punch, but he managed to stop himself by exploding a wave of dark magic from his body. He was about to attack Celestia by firing a blast at her, but was stopped when he was hit from the side by Big Mac who sent him flying off in a random direction. The red stallion shot off after him in a flash; grabbing the unicorn by the leg, spending him around, and throwing him back towards Celestia who flew at, and clotheslined the stallion. Stargazer caught himself as he was about to fall to the ground; turning his attention towards both Big Mac and Celestia. Floating back up to them, his hands started glowing and he fired a purple and green blast at the two of them. Celestia responded with a powerful yelled as she charged right at it. She collide with the blast head on, and was almost pushed back until an orange aura surrounded her body and she exploded with power; firing off an orange and yellow blast of her own against it. With a powerful yell, Celestia managed to push against Stargazer's attack, but the unicorn remained resilient. From out of nowhere, a magical lavender ball was thrown and hit Stargazer in the back; causing enough of a distraction for Celestia to get the upper hand and fire off a powerful volley that overtook Stargazer's wave. "No, No, NOOOOOOO!" he yelled as he was hit and brought to the ground; exploding on impact.

Seconds later, the ground started to shake before another explosion went off and Stargazer was once again back in the sky. "TWILIGHT!" he yelled. Apparently, it was Twilight who attacked him from behind. The Princess of Friendship was right in front of him ready to attack the second he tries anything. "That....hurt." he growled.

"It'll hurt even worse if you don't stop this right now." she said.

"There's only two ways this ends." he stated. "Either you come back to me, or I make it so that nopony else can have you. And since you've made it clear you want nothing to do with me, we'll just have to rebuild our relationship in the NEXT LIFE!" Within the blink of an eye, Stargazer had managed to grab Twilight by the neck, then spun her around to face Celestia and Big Mac as they approached them with his arm around her neck.

"TWILIGHT!" Celestia screamed. She was about to attack, but Stargazer managed to push her both her and Big Mac away with a wave of his arm. Both ponies fell to the ground hard; leaving Twilight in danger. Green, black, and purple aura started to surround the two of them as Stargazer prepared to unleash some kind of power.

"W-What are you doing?!" Twilight demanded.

"Like I said, we'll rebuild our relationship in the next life!" he answered as the aura got bigger. "Let's leave this world together!" Stargazer was completely out of his mind. He was seriously about to kill both himself and Twilight just because she didn't want him anymore? Twilight tried everything in her power to get away from; clawing, scratching, biting, anything she could. His grip on her tighten making at that much harder for her to do anything. As the aura around them grew, small sparks of lightning began to form around them.

*BOOOOOM*

*BOOOOOM*

Above them to the right, a massive rainbow wave light up the sky while to the left, dark clouds filled with lightning illuminating. Two ponies shot out from them, and struck Stargazer in the back at lightning speed, but the stallion stood firm. "R-Rainbow, Stardust, help!" Twilight yelled. Both mares continued to strike with all their might before being blown away.

"UNHAND HER, DEMON!" came Luna's voice as she fired a dark blue beam at him. The attack hit, but thanks to the aura surrounding him, it did nothing. Stargazer looked towards Luna and fired a beam from his eyes; knocking her away. With a powerful yell, Stargazer unleashed a massive wave of dark magical energy that blew everypony nearby away. With them gone, he could now fully focus on the task at hand. Twilight continued to struggle to get free as Stargazer continued to power up.

"It won't be long now, Twilight." he said. "So we will be free to start over."

"NOOOOOOOO!" she screamed. She didn't want to die, not like this. "SOMEPONY, HELP ME!" Stargazer's eyes started to glow as he reached his peak, any second now, he was going to unleash everything to blow the two of them up.

"TWILIGHT!" yelled Shining as he conjured up a javelin and threw it at Stargazer's head; only for it to disintegrate the second it got to close. Black, purple, and green lightning began to surround the two of them as cracks started to form on Stargazer's body. Twilight sealed her eyes shut hard as tears began to rapidly fall down her face, her friends constantly screaming her name; helpless to do anything to save her.

"I don't wanna die!" she screamed in her head. "SPIKE, PLEASE!"

*BOOOOOOOOOM*

*POOOOOOOOOW*

An unknown black object flew through the sky at supersonic speeds, and managed to break through Stargazer's aura; delivering a shockwave punch to his face and disrupting his spell. The force was so great, that once it combined with the dark magic aura, it triggered a massive explosion that lit up the sky. Everypony on the ground watched in horror as they truly believed Twilight was killed, only to be shocked when they saw Stargazer's body flying towards the ground; creating a small crater on impact. Stargazer slowly rose to his feet and looked up into the sky just as the dust settled. There, holding an unconscious Twilight in his arms, was a dragon with glowing red eyes, a dark aura and black lightning surrounding his body, and the look of a very pissed off devil. The dragon released a powerful roar of anger the sent shockwaves throughout the land.

Spike has arrived.

A dark smirk soon appeared on Stargazer's face. "You've finally decided to show your true colors, Lizard." Spike landed on the ground next to Big Mac and hand Twilight over to him. Without a word, the dragon started to make his way over to Stargazer who in turn started to approach him. "Any last words, lizard?"

Spike looked him in the eyes and simply made one statement in a dark tone. "Roses are red, violets are blue, hurt my mates.......Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru."

Stargazer had a blank look on his face after that statement. "What?"

*POOOOOW*

Within the blink of an eye, Spike had launched himself at Stargazer and punched him in the face; sending him fly off before unleashing a powerful roar as both black aura and lightning surrounded his body.

Author's Notes:

Next Chapter: Spike vs Stargazer round 2.

Chapter 14

Author's Notes:

This and the next chapter have been re-written over and over more times than I can count. Hopefully, it's good enough.

Stargazer's body flew non-stop until it smashed into something heavy; quicky rising to his feet soon after only to discover Spike standing in from of him. Spike grabbed him by the mane punched him into the ground before grabbing him by the leg and proceeded to swing him around like a rag doll; smashing him into the ground and anything else he could over and over. Stargazer managed to land a hit on Spike's face; causing him to stagger back a bit before being blasted by dark magic. Spike was thrown back a bit, but managed to stop himself before launching back at Stargazer; grabbing the unicorn by the head and smashing him into the ground once again. Stargazer pushed Spike away with another wave of dark magic and conjured up a black knife. "Come on." he said before charging at the dragon. With a swing of the knife, Stargazer managed to stab Spike's right arm; earning him a growl of pain. Stargazer was about conjure up another knife to go for another attack, but Spike grabbed his hand before hit could cut him again.

However, Stargazer managed to conjure it in his other hand and managed to stab Spike in the side. The dragon roared in pain and fell to his knees; trying to get the knife out. "Where the tartarus did you get this power?!" Stargazer growled. "You don't even know how to use it do you?! You're just flailing it around!" As Spike managed to pull out the knife, Stargazer took this time to kick the dragon the face; sending him flying onto his back. "I've spent years developing my skills while the only thing you've done is get in between me and Twilight!" He fired a beam of dark magic from his hand; hitting Spike right where he stabbed him. Spike roared in pain as he grabbed his side before being kicked in the face again and sent flying backwards. With his anger growing by the second, Stargazer walked over to Spike and grabbed his head. Spike took this time to unleash a wave of black and green fire from his mouth to Stargazer's face. The unicorn screamed in pain as he let go of Spike; flailing around trying to put the fire out. Spike took this time to quickly rise to his feet and deliver a powerful punch that sent the unicorn flying off. With a loud roar, Spike had gathered black lightning in both claws and fired at Stargazer; hitting the unicorn dead on.

Stargazer, now with burn marks on his face, launched himself at Spike; grabbing the dragon by the neck and proceeded to slam him into the ground over and over. After that, he blasted Spike in the face with powerful attack that caused the dragon to roar loud. Making a lightning filled fist, Spike turned to punch Stargazer who quickly decided to counter with a with powerful punch of his own. When both fists connected, it caused a massive explosion the swallowed the two of them up. Once the dust settled, Stargazer was the only one standing while Spike was nowhere to be seen. Knowing that he was still out there, Stargazer began to head back towards Twilight and finish what he started before Spike had the chance to recover.

****************************

"BIG MAC!" yelled Applejack as she and the others approached him.

"Twilight!" yelled Fluttershy. "Is she....."

"She's okay." Starlight reassured as she checked her vitals. "Looks like she's just had the wind knocked out of her."

"Damn him." growled Rainbow. "Where is he! I'll tear him apart."

*BOOOOOOOM*

An explosion from Spike and Stargazer's fight caught everypony's attention; distracting them long enough for Sentinel's fanmares to surround them. The fanmares stood ready to attack at any second, but didn't do anything. It wasn't long before Sentinel himself appeared on scene; his anger growing once he saw Twilight in Big Mac's arms. "What did you do to my Twilight?!" he yelled.

"She's not your Twilight!" Rainbow yelled back. "And what are you doing working with Stargazer?"

"We've both lost a mare to that lizard friend of yours and we're here to take them back." He explained as his fanmares cheered.

Rainbow and the other all looked at each other for a few seconds before turning back at Sentinel. "Has it ever occurred ta y'all that yer fightin' over the same mare?" Applejack asked.

"What are you talking about?" Sentinel replied.

"Ah take it Stargazer never told y'all." she said. "Twilight's the one he's afta."

"Ha, nice try." Sentinel said crossing his arms. "That lie won't work on me."

"It's not a lie, jackass, the two of them used to date until......" Rainbow started.

"Oh, shut it!" Sentinel interrupted. "Either hand my Twilight over, or we'll have a problem." Sentinel's fanmares rallied behind him; ready to strike on his order. Big Mac was starting to get tired of this shit. Knowing that Sentinel wouldn't believe anything they'd say, the red stallion was about to set Twilight down so he could beat some sense into him when suddenly there was another explosion that caught all their attention. Everypony turned towards the direction of the of it just in time to see a large object heading towards them. They all scattered out of the way as fast as they could just as the object smashed into the ground. Once the dust settled, standing before them was none other than Stargazer; looking even more demonish than before; mostly due to the burn marks on his face.

"Give her to me!" he growled as he started to make his way towards them. Starlight and Rarity put up a protective barrier to shield themselves from his advancements, but it was destroyed as soon as they put it up by his fist. "GIVE ME TWILIGHT!" he roared.

"I won't let you have her!" Pinkie yelled as she took a stance; Applejack and Rainbow Dash following suit.

"Whoa, hold up!" Sentinel yelled. "Dude, how do you know Twilight?"

"Twilight is mine!" he growled as he continued on his way.

"Hey, wait a minute." Sentinel said as he grabbed the unicorn's arm. Stargazer, now completely annoyed, powered up his fist, and knocked Sentinel away; sending him flying off.

"SENTINEL!" yelled his fanmares as most of them ran after him. The rest stayed behind; their anger growing after what Stargazer did. He was supposed to be Sentinel's friend and he did that to him?! Stargazer was gonna pay for this betrayal. With a mighty yell, the fanmares all ganged up on Stargazer; delivering strong punches and kicks to each part of his body to which the unicorn countered by unleashing a powerful wave of magic that blew all of them away. As he turned to face towards Twilight and the others, he was met with a big red fist to his face. The unicorn stumbled back a bit before looking up to see Big Mac coming at him with another punch. Acting quickly, he caught Big Mac's fist and countered with a punch of his own to the red stallion's face; sending him into the ground. Stargazer then turned his attention towards the others and began making his way to them. Rainbow Dash was the first to attack by launching herself at him to deliver a kick, but Stargazer grabbed her leg and swung her around before slamming her on top of Big Mac. At that point, Stargazer was hit from behind by two magical blast from Rarity and Starlight.

"Fluttershy, you and Pinkie take Twilight, and get outta here!" Starlight said as she fired off another blast of magic.

"We'll hold him off!" Rarity added as she too fired off a blast. The two mares managed to get Stargazer down on one knee which gave Applejack the chance to run up on the side of him at full speed and deliver a high jump kick to his head. The unicorn stallion rolled a few feet away before quickly rising to his feet. He growled in anger and went for another attack but was grabbed from behind by Big Mac. Applejack once again charged at the unicorn; delivering a powerful punch to his gut. Stargazer grunted loudly before breaking out of Big Mac's hold and threw the stallion into his sister. With them out of the way, Stargazer looked around for any signs of Twilight, but was met with a blast of magic to the face from Rarity and Starlight. Placing a hand over his face, he roared as dark magical energy began to surround his body. Removing his hand to reveal his now glowing red eyes, Stargazer locked onto both Starlight and Rarity and charged at them, however, to their shock, he passed them up; making his way towards Pinkie and Fluttershy who were running off with Twilight. The two mares looked behind them and saw Stargazer coming at them fast. The unicorn was about to strike them down and take Twilight back when suddenly a giant blue lightning bolt struck him; sending him into the ground. Stargazer started to get up only to be struck by an even bigger bolt of lightning.

Landing in front of him was and angry Stardust. "Get up, you son of a bitch!" she ordered as he powered up the axe. "You took him away from me! I'll kill you!"

"If you miss him that much, i'll send you to him!" Stargazer growled before launched himself at her. Stardust countered with a blast of lightning from the axe that sent Stargazer in the air. The unicorn caught himself and countered with a beam of dark magic just as Stardust fired off another round of lightning. Both attacks collided and pushed against each other with Stargazer starting to win, that is until, from out of nowhere, a giant orange ball of magical energy came down on top of him; blowing him up on impact. High above in the air was a very angry Celestia with an orange aura surrounding her body. She prepared to fire off another attack, but was interrupted when Stargazer shot out from the dust and grabbed the princess by the neck. Burning with rage, Celestia grabbed Stargazer's arm; burning it as she pulled his hand away from her neck. "You'll regret laying a hand on me." she growled. Suddenly, Stargazer unleashed a powerful wave of dark magic the pushed the princess back and gave him enough time to move above her.

"How about a foot instead!" he yelled as he came down. Celestia looked up just in time to be kicked in the face and sent pummeling into the ground. Just then, a large lightning bolt struck him from behind; causing him to yell out. Turning around he saw a large axe coming towards him at a fast pace. He was barely able to dodge it before it returned back to Stardust's hands.

"GET DOWN HERE YOU SON OF A BITCH!" she yelled. Rallying behind her were Rarity, Starlight, Applejack, Big Mac, and Rainbow Dash. Pinkie and Fluttershy took this time to get Twilight back to Ponyville and hide her until something could be done about Stargazer. They wouldn't get far before Stargazer slammed into the ground and blew everypony away before turning his attention towards them. With loud roar, he shot off after them only to be stopped by another lightning attack from Stardust who was coming up on the side of him; swinging the axe to hit him. With dark magic gathered in his hand, he delivered a punch that connected with the axe that caused a massive shockwave. With a mighty yell, Stardust swung the axe continuously only for each swing to be parried by Stargazer's now glowing arms. After blocking another one her attacks, Stargazer reached to grab it from her; completely forgetting that not just anypony can touch it. It shocked him the second he touched it and left him open for Stardust to deliver a swift kick to his stomach. With a grunt, Stargazer stumbled back a bit as Stardust prepared for a follow up attack, but before she could act on it, Celestia landed in front of her and hammered Stargazer into the ground. With a powerful roar of anger, she continued to pummel him over and over until she was sure he was no longer breathing. Just as she stopped to catch her breath, Stargazer came up from the ground and punched the princess in the ribs; cracking a few bones. Celestia yelled out in pain before being hammered into the ground.

Stargazer quickly scanned the area and found Pinkie and Fluttershy. Determined to stop them from getting away with his mare once and for all, Stargazer fired a blast at them. As they ran, Pinkie's pinkie sense went off. "FLUTTERSHY, LOOK OUT!" she scream as she pushed the yellow pegasus out of the way with Twilight. One second later, the blast hit and exploded; sending Pinkie flying a few feet away before she hit the ground.

"PINKIE!" Fluttershy screamed in terror as Pinkie laid on the ground; bruised and motionless.

Stargazer wore a smirk on his face after stopping them from getting away. "YOU SON OF A BITCH!" screamed Rainbow Dash as she and Applejack charged him. Stargazer took out Rainbow first with a hard closeline, then took out Applejack with a swift kick to the stomach followed by a powerbomb on top of Rainbow. After that, Stargazer took off after Fluttershy who was desperately trying to get Pinkie to wake up. She gasped once she saw Stargazer coming at them, and ran over to get Twilight. Her plan was to fly away as fast as she could, but sadly that was not meant to be. Stargazer caught to her, and grabbed her by the neck. The yellow pegasus struggled to get free as his grip started to tighten. With tears streaming down her face, a dark smile formed on Stargazer's, and the unicorn slammed Fluttershy into the ground; knocking her out before delivering a kick that sent her flying into Pinkie. Seconds later, a powerful roar could be heard. Stargazer turned to see an extremely angry Big Macintosh coming at him at full speed. Gathering at much dark magic in his fist as he could, Stargazer punched Big Mac into the ground; creating a mini crater with the impact. With everypony out of the way, there was nothing between him and Twilight.

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

Or so he thought.

Quite a distance from him, there was a massive explosion of black and green magical energy shooting straight up into the sky. From that, something flew out of it and was heading straight for him. As it got closer, the strange object took the form of a dragon. It was Spike, and he was extremely pissed off. "NO!" Stargazer yelled just before being punched into oblivion; his body flying off into the sky. Spike watched Stargazer disappear into the distance before looking around and seeing all of his mates battered and bruised laying on the ground motionless. Spike gritted his teeth and let out a deep growl as he clenched his claws while black sparks of lightning surrounded his body. They were his mates, HIS MATES, and he failed to protect them. Anger, pain and regret all swirled up inside him until he unleashed a powerful roar that sent shockwaves throughout the land. Spike's muscles grew bigger along with his fangs while his eyes changed to a blood-red color. The scales on his back changed to the same blood-red color as well just as he unleashed another powerful roar and exploded with power and uncontrollable anger that blew away any and all things that was around him. This was no longer Spike, but a rage filled dragon Tartarus bent on going after the one stallion who wronged him.

Spike shot off in the direction Stargazer's body flew in and caught up to him in seconds. Stargazer, rising to his feet after landing hard on the ground, turned around just in time for Spike's big purple fist to connect to his face; blood splattering after impact. Stargazer fell to the ground before being picked up by the leg and thrown back to the ground over and over. Spike kicked the unicorn onto his back and proceeded to deliver punch after punch to his face. With a mighty roar, Spike picked up the unicorn and threw him high into the air where he leapt after him. Stargazer took this time to conjure up a sharp knife, knowing that Spike's scales were weaker than any normal dragons, and went to strike him, but before he could, he was hit from behind by a lightning bolt from Stardust. The bright light from the lightning caused Spike to back off a bit giving Stardust the chance to leap into the air and strike at Stargazer, but the unicorn managed to grab the mare by the neck and travel with her to the ground where he slammed her. Holding her there, Stargazer threaten to break it as his grip increased. Stardust grabbed him arm as she struggled to breathe; second by second she could feel herself about to lose consciousness. She reached up to claw at his face, but did no damaged; she was losing strength and fast. "When you see Blueblood, tell'em I sent you." Stargazer said with a deranged smile.

*BAM*

Stargazer was kicked in the side of the head sending him flying off Stardust who coughed violently as she gasped for air. Looking up, she saw Spike standing over her; preparing to attack again. The dragon launched himself at Stargazer; grabbing him by the neck and dragging him face first into the ground as he ran full speed. With a powerful yell, Stargazer managed to blow Spike off with a wave of dark magic. He rose to his feet and threw a magic filled punch to Spike's face, but to his shock, it didn't even faze him. Spike growled and punched Stargazer back, this time with much more force. Stargazer stumbled back before being punched again and again. He conjured up a knife to stab Spike with, but as he went for the attack, Spike caught it and forced the weapon into the unicorn's right shoulder. Stargazer yelled with extreme pain as Spike pulled out the knife and jammed it back in. The unicorn fell to one knee as he looked up towards Spike; the anger in the dragon's eyes told him all he needed to know. Spike was going to kill him. If that were true, then he won't make it easy. Stargazer reached towards the ground and threw a fist full of dirt into Spike's eyes; causing the dragon to yell out and stumble away from the unicorn. Stargazer took this chance to pull out the knife in his shoulder, and charge at Spike who was temporarily blinded. The unicorn managed to stab Spike on his ride side; earning a roar of pain from him. "Damn you're weak dragon." Stargazer growled. "You're supposed to have scales stronger than armor, but yours is as weak as paper. Celestia failed raising you."

That triggered a switch inside Spike that caused the dragon to explode with power; sending Stargazer flying off. "Don't......say......her......NNNNAAAAAAAMMMMMEEEEEEE!" Spike launched himself at Stargazer who quickly put up a barrier to protect himself, but Spike just smashed through it and hammered the unicorn into the ground before throwing him into the air once again. Spike then launched himself after him where he proceeded to continuously punch him in the face before grabbing his head and slamming it into his knee. Blood started to fly from Stargazer's face even more, but Spike wasn't done with him yet. He hammered Stargazer back to the ground with such force, the impact caused a small crater. Spike landed hard on top of Stargazer's back; cracking it a bit before he began to repeatedly stomp on the unicorn's head until it disappeared into the ground. Spike reached into the ground and grabbed his head; pulling him to look at him. Slowly, the dragon opened his mouth and unleashed a giant wave of green and black fire in the unicorn's face. Stargazer instantly fell to the ground, flailing around in pain as Spike unleashed another wave of fire on him. As Spike geared up for a third wave, black lightning began to fuse with his fire breath before he unleashed it onto Stargazer. The ear piercing scream of the unicorn could be heard throughout the battlefield. From far away, the scream entered the ear of Twilight who let out a small groan before slowly opening her eyes. As she slowly rose to her feet, an explosion went off; causing a shockwave that nearly blew her back to the ground. Turning the direction of the explosion, Twilight saw the body of pony flying through the air. Upon a further look, she saw it was Stargazer. Seconds later, she saw black lightning shoot through the air and strike the unicorn into the ground. "Spike." she whispered before making her way towards them.

Twilight wasn't the only one who woke up. A few feet from where she was, Fluttershy groaned as she opened her eyes and moved off Pinkie Pie who also groan; a small feeling of pain was coursing through her body as she sat up.

"PINKIE!" came a familiar voice. Running up to them were Dizzy and Shining. Dizzy immediately ran to his marefriend's side after seeing her with bruises all over her body. "WHAT HAPPENED?! WHO DID THIS?!" he demanded.

"I.....I don't know." she said. "All I remember is that were running with Twilight, and then everything went black.

"It was Stargazer." Fluttershy said. "Stargazer fired at us. He.....he tried to kill us." Hearing this set something off inside Dizzy. The stallion stood up and started running off towards where he thinks Stargazer might be; ignoring everypony's calls to him. The only thing that was on his mind right now was tearing his former friend a new asshole.

****************************

Spike was now standing over Stargazer who was struggling to crawl away; his body reverted back to normal as all his dark magic was used up. With Black lightning surrounding his fist, Spike delivered a strong punch to the unicorn's back; causing it to crack even more than it already was. With a loud grunt, Stargazer managed to roll onto his back where he saw Spike looking down on him. Spike bent down and proceeded to wail on the unicorn's face. As his attacks continued, Spike began to remember all the pain Stargazer caused to Twilight and himself. All the anger he felt towards himself for not protecting his mates from danger. All the pain and anger he had deep inside for all the horrible things that had happened to him. Everything was all coming out at once and it was fueling his power. Black lightning began shooting from his body as the ground shook violently from each punch. All the ponies who were still fighting were forced to stop and take cover somewhere as they were sure that an earthquake was taking place. Spike rose up his right fist, filled with black lightning and green fire, and let out a powerful roar as he was about to end this once and for all, however, before he could, somepony grabbed it; stopping him from delivering the final blow. Spike turned his head to see what poor soul is preventing him from getting a long overdue retribution. To his shock, it was Twilight.

"T-Twi-light?" he said.

"Spike." she begged. "It's over, you won." Seeing that Twilight was okay caused Spike to calm down a bit, but then his mind went back to Pinkie and and the others, and his anger started to grow once again. He tried to move, but Twilight wouldn't let him. Spike wanted to make him pay for what he's done to him, and his mates with his life. Twilight turned her attention towards Stargazer and was shocked to see that he was a bloodied mess. His face looked as if he went through a cheese grater, while the rest of his body was burn from head to toe. Twilight knew that the only way to calm Spike down was to show that she was alright, but for some reason it wasn't working. Were Pinkie and the others hurt as well? If that were the case, she'll have to get Spike away from Stargazer some other way. With her horn lighting up, she managed to teleport the two of them away; leaving Stargazer broken and alone.

"I....k-knew it, T-T-Twi-light." he struggled to say. "Y-Y-You d-do still lo-lo-ve me."

****************************

Rarity made her way to Rainbow and Applejack who were still unconscious on the ground while right behind her Starlight was carrying Celestia on her back. "Applejack, Applejack!" Rarity said as she shook the farm pony. With a groan, she slowly opened her eyes.

"Wha....what in tarnation hit me?" she groaned.

"Oh, thank Celestia you're okay." Rarity breathed. Applejack moved to sit on her knees as she rubbed the back of her head.

"W-Where's Stargazer?" she asked.

"If I had to guess, i'd say that he was right over where that explosion came from." Starlight explained as Rainbow woke up in Rarity's arms. Just then, Luna and Cadence laned in front of them; their clothes were torn up from the battle against the bikers and most of Sentinel's fanmares. With a gasp, Luna quickly headed over to Starlight to check on her sister.

"Grr, I swear, if I run into another one of those bikers." Cadence growled. "You guys okay?"

"More or less." Rainbow groaned. "Stargazer got us good." Just then, Twilight appeared with Spike who was still growling to get back to Stargazer and finish what he started.

"TWILIGHT!" everypony yelled.

"Girls, help me calm Spike down." she said. "We have to show him you're okay." Spike growled as he tried to get away from Twilight; he still had unfinished business with Stargazer. "Where's Pinkie and Fluttershy?"

"TWILY, OVER HERE!" yelled Shining. In the distance, Shining, Pinkie, and Fluttershy were approaching them; Shining carrying Big Mac on his back. Seeing all of his mates started to cause Spike to calm down a bit. His muscles began to shrink back to normal as well as his eyes. The black lightning sparking from his body began to fade away as well.

"T-Twilight?" he groaned.

"We're okay, Spike, we're all okay." she said. Spike was almost completely calm when his eyes roamed over to Celestia who was in Luna's arms; bruised and unconscious. Gritting his teeth, he started to growl while clenching his fist. Seeing this, both Twilight and Fluttershy tried to turn his attention away from her and get him to calm back down, but it wasn't working. Celestia was more than just his mate, she was his mother, and anypony who hurts someone's mother, will feel a wrath unlike any other. Spike released a powerful roar of anger before he took off once again.

****************************

Dizzy made his way over to a crater where he saw Stargazer laying on his back with his eyes close and a small white aura surrounding his body. He was about to say something when Stardust walked up behind him, placed a hand on his shoulder, and pushed him out of the way. She was gonna end things right here and now. Blueblood will be avenged. Stardust was only able to take one step towards Stargazer before he opened his eyes and fired a beam from them; hitting her in the shoulder. The mare screamed in pain as she fell on her back; grabbing her shoulder as blood started to pour out. Stargazer rose to his feet and slowly made his way towards her; the white aura surrounding his body was a type of healing magic he was using to heal himself, although it was a very slow process. His mind was filled with all things he was going to do to her before killing her and being rid of one problem.

"STARGAZER!" Dizzy yelled as he ran up behind him. The unicorn turned around and grabbed Dizzy by the neck. Y-You b-bastard, y-you hurt Pinkie!"

"Call it payback for turning your back on me." he said as he stepped on Stardust's hurt shoulder; earning a scream out of her. Stargazer's grip around Dizzy's neck tighten as he pressed down on Stardust's shoulder. Stardust's scream of pain increased as tears started to form in her eyes; her nails digging into the ground as the pain became unbearable . Dizzy grabbed Stargazer's arm and attempted to get free as he could feel himself start to black out. Stargazer was so focused on Dizzy and Stardust that he failed to notice the axe right next to him begin to shake. Blue lightning began to surround it before rising up and and shooting off into the sky. Dark clouds started to quickly form soon after as loud thunder roared. This managed to capture Stargazer's attention as he look up and saw lightning filling the sky. Suddenly, the clouds opened up revealing a circle of blue lightning surrounding somepony weilding an axe. With a mighty roar, the pony in the sky exploded with a tremendous amount of power and fired off a massive blue lightning bolt that hit Stargazer; sending hundreds of thousand bolts throughout his body while at the same time, doing no harm to Dizzy and Stardust. Stargazer let the two go before falling to his knees as the pony in the sky landed with a thud that shook the ground under them. Looking up, Stargazer was shocked to see who it was that attacked him. It was impossible, how the Tartarus could HE be here?

"Y-You....h-how?!" he growled.

"Plot armor's a bitch ain't it?" said Blueblood.

Chapter 15

Standing on front of Stargazer was none other than Prince Blueblood; wearing nothing but a ripped pair of pants and looking extremely pissed off. Blueblood tapped into the power of his axe and caused an aura of blue lightning to surround his body; his eyes glowing with a bright white light as his mane flowed just like Celestia and Luna's. "By order of my name, you're under arrest." he said. "Anything you say or do can and will, make me kill you."

Stargazer responded by rising to his feet and taking one step towards the prince which caused him to be struck by a powerful lightning bolt that sent him flying off. Blueblood was about to head off after him, but there was one thing he needed to do first. Walking over to Stardust, the prince placed a hand over her shoulder and healed it with magic before looking over at Dizzy. "You." he said. "Make sure nothing happens to her, or you die as well." With that, Blueblood took off.

"Wait, WHAT!?" Dizzy yelled. Looking over at Stardust, Dizzy decided to pick her up and bring her somewhere safe before coming back to finish what he started with Stargazer.

****************************

Stargazer landed on the ground with a loud thud; sparks of lightning shooting from his body as he groaned in pain. Seconds later, Blueblood laned next to him. "What's the matter?" he asked. "No dark magic." Truth be told, Stargazer hadn't fully recovered from his fight with Spike. That dragon really did a number on him, and he hadn't had time to fully heal himself. Now here he was, about to face off once again against Prince Blueblood. This was going to be a one-sided fight between the two of them.

*BOOOOOOM*

Make that three. Spike had landed a few feet away from them; looking even more pissed than before. With Black lightning sparking from his body, the dragon started to make his way towards Stargazer; growling with the intent to kill. Blueblood gripped his axe as blue lightning started to surround his body just like Spike's. Stargazer growled in frustration as the two slowly approached him; no way in tartarus could he take both of them on at once. As the two of them got closer, a beam of magical energy came from nowhere and hit Stargazer in the back; causing him to fall down to his knees. Both Spike and Blueblood stopped moving as they saw Sentinel running up on scene. "You bastard, you betrayed me!" he said. "We were supposed to be in this together, and now I find out that you're trying to hurt MY Twilight?! Not on MY watch, buddy!"

"Y-Your Twilight?" Stargazer groaned. "W-What do you mean, your Twilight?! She's my mare!"

"I feel like i'm missing something here." Blueblood said; shocked to see Sentinel with Stargazer. He glanced over to Spike was equally as shocked to see that unicorn, but that melted away as he remembered how Twilight was hurt because of him. Spike started to growl as black lightning surged up once again. Spike unleashed a powerful roar that caught both of their attentions and launched at them.

Stargazer grabbed Sentinel and pulled into Spike's path where the dragon grabbed, and ran with him; leaving Stargazer alone with Blueblood. "Lets go." Blueblood said before he launched at the unicorn. With axe in hand, Blueblood swung a deadly blow at Stargazer who quickly used magic to make his arms glow so he could parry the attack. Each attack the prince delivered Stargazer managed to block it, however, he couldn't keep this up. After the last block, both his arms stopped growing and he was forced to dodge out of the way as Blueblood came down with the axe. The prince missed his target and hit the ground; causing a pile of dust to kick up. When the dust settled, Stargazer came into view; panting heavily as he stared Blueblood down. "Don't tell me you're tired already, the fun just started." he said before throwing his axe. Stargazer quickly moved out the way as the axe passed him; giving Blueblood the chance to charge at him at full speed and tackle the unicorn to the ground. Blueblood proceeded to deliver multiple punches to the unicorn's face; savoring every second that passed.

Over with Spike.....the dragon slammed Sentinel into the ground before grabbing his leg and throwing him high into the air; unleashing a massive wave of fire mixed with black lightning at at him. Sentinel screamed as the attack hit him then came back to the ground in a fiery mess. One of Sentinel's fanmares came running up behind Spike with a metal weapon, but the dragon quickly grabbed it out of her hands, and smashed it against her face; knocking her out instantly before turning his attention back to the unicorn. Sentinel was unable to move after being burn and electrocuted at the same time. He remembered what happened last time he went up against Spike, he was nearly killed, and it looked as though history was about to repeat itself. Spike grabbed Sentinel by the neck and was about to deliver a power punch to his face when suddenly he was hit in the back of the head with a hard rock. Spike turned around to see a group of fanmares charging at him. "LET HIM GO!" one of them yelled. Spike let out a power roar that caused a shockwave which forced the fanmares to stop in their tracks. Knowing that they would just keep coming, Spike threw Sentinel at them and took off after his real target.

"SENTINEL!" yelled three unicorn fanmares. "We'll heal you!" The three mares placed their glowing hands on Sentinel and started to heal him as the rest of the mares surrounded him.

"To T-Tartarus w-with Stargazer, h-he betrayed us." he said. "F-Find Twilight, a-and t-take her back to B-Baltimare." With this order, the mares nodded and ran off. Sentinel was going to get Twilight into his harem no matter what. If Stargazer has a problem with that, then he'll have to take it up with his fanmares.

Speaking of Stargazer, Blueblood had dropped his axe to the ground; no longer needing it since it was clear to him that Stargazer was on his last leg. He was going to finish him off slowly and make him suffer every second until he begged for death, then, and only then, will Equestria be rid of him for good. As the prince made his way to the exhausted unicorn, Spike landed right next to him with a loud thud. The dragon pulled back his fist and punch Stargazer in the face; sending him flying. "HEY, THAT'S MY PREY!" Blueblood yelled. Spike responded with a snarl before taking off after him. "NO YOU DON'T!" Blueblood yelled as he too took off after the both of them.

****************************

Celestia groan and place a hand on her head as she slowly awoke. "Sister, you're okay!" Luna said with excitement as he hugged Celestia.

"L-Luna? W-What happened?" she asked as she looked around. Suddenly, everything came back to her. Stargazer, Blueblood's death, EVERYTHING! With a growl, Celetia removed herself from her sister's arms and stood up. "I'LL KILL HIM!" she roared. Celestia was only able to take one step before falling to her knees in pain.

"SISTER!" Luna yelled as she went to her sister's side. "Don't move."

"Where's Stargazer?" she asked.

"Forget about him, you need to worry about you." Luna said.

"No." she argued. "Stargazer, he.....he......" Celestia tried to bring herself to tell Luna that Blueblood was dead, but before she could even muster up the courage to do so, Dizzy came running up to them holding Stardust in his arms.

"Dizzy!" Pinkie yelled as she ran up to him.

"What in Equestria happened to Stardust?!" Cadence asked.

"Stargazer shot her in the shoulder." he explained.

"What?! But....Stargazer was beaten into the ground." said Twilight.

"He managed to heal himself before he attacked." Dizzy explained. "He would've killed us both if Blueblood hadn't showed up." Hearing this, Celestia's eyes widen. Blueblood was alive? She broke free from Luna once again and began to make her way towards Dizzy, but quickly fell to the ground; grabbing her side as she groaned loudly in pain. Luna quickly moving her sister's side once again determined that she might have a few cracked ribs. She motioned for Starlight to come over to help heal her, however before she could do so, a large group of Sentinel's fanmares surrounded them.

"These mares again?" Rainbow groaned.

"GIVE US TWILIGHT!" one of them demanded. "Sentinel demands it!"

"Sentinel's here too!?" Twilight said shocked. Before she knew it, three of the mares grabbed her and made an attempt to leave, but were stopped when Big Mac showed up and snatched Twilight out of their hands. "Don't interfere! Doing so will cause us to attack you." Shining Armor, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack all came to Big Mac's side and took a fighting stance.

"Whatever that asshole stallions wants, he won't get!" Rainbow declared.

"How DARE you call him that!" yelled a random mare. Seconds later, the mares charged and a fight was about to begin.

****************************

Stargazer landed hard on the ground with Spike landing on top of his leg. The unicorn scream out in pain as his leg cracked due to the pressure that was being put on it. Spike got off his leg and pick him up by his neck where he was about to unleash a wave of fire on him, but he was snatched away by Blueblood who proceeded to launch the stallion high into the air and fired a magical blast at him; blowing him up on impact. As Stargazer fell from the sky, he managed to look over at Spike and Blueblood watching him as he fell. No doubt they'll definitely attack the second he hits the ground. "If I do this, i'll definitely pay for it later." he thought. "Oh who the Tartarus cares! If I die, i'll take both of'em, with me!"

Stargazer suddenly stopped falling as his horn glowled. "Oh no you don't." Blueblood said as he knew something was about to happen. The prince launched himself at Stargazer along with Spike to stop him, but by the time they got near him, the two were blown away by a wave of dark magic. The two of them landed on the ground and looked up just in time to see Stargazer staring down at them; his entire body was surrounded by his dark magic aura.

Within the blink of an eye, Stargazer made his way next to Spike and punched him in the face; sending him flying off before turning his attention to Blueblood. The unicorn used his speed to get behind the prince for an attack, but was stopped when his axe came in and hit him upside the head.

"You didn't think i'd let you get me that easily, did you?" Blueblood said as he gripped his weapon. The prince turned his entire body around to put as much strength as he could into his axe to hit Stargazer, but the unicorn managed to catch it with his hand; earning a few shocks from it for good measure. From a few feet away, there was a loud boom, and Spike came flying back at the two of them; grabbing Stargazer by the neck only for the unicon to counter by conjuring up a sharp knife and stabbing Spike on the arm. Spike roared and released Stargazer who then proceeded to fire off a beam of dark magic at him, but before he could do that, Blueblood fired a blast of lightning at the unicorn; knocking him away. With another powerful roar of pain, Spike pulled the knife out of his arm, and joined Blueblood in a two on one assault against the unicorn. Every punch, kick, and swing of the axe was either blocked or dodged as all three engaged each other. With a swift kick to the stomach from Stargazer, Blueblood fell to one knee before receiving and kick to the face that send him rolling a few feet away. This left him open to an attack from Spike who jammed his fist into his back; cracking a few a bones. Stargazer turned around and grabbed the dragon by the neck; lifting him up and slamming him into the ground.

"Fucking lizard." he growled as he conjured up two sharp knives; jamming one of them into Spike's back. Spike roared out as Stargazer stabbed him in the side with the other knife. As Spike went to pull the knife out, Stargazer stepped on the one embedded in his back; causing him even more pain than he was feeling. The unicorn grabbed the back of Spike's head, and pulled him back to look up at him. "Enough playing around." he said. "First, i'm going to kill you, then i'll take back Twilight." Stargazer then conjured up another sharp knife and jammed it into Spike's shoulder. At this point, Spike was bleeding profusely. It wouldn't be long before he blacked out due to blood loss. "But before I do that, i'll pay Celestia a visit and make her regret the day she found you; maybe have some fun with her before I do so." Spike suddenly stopped moving as he stared off into space. Something inside him had snapped. The mere mention of Celestia's name followed by that threat coming out of Stargazer's mouth was enough to send Spike's anger into an unspeakable level. The ground under him began to tremble as black lightning along with a dark aura began to surround his body. Spike's eyes turned pitch black as black smoke began to escape his mouth. As Spike started to get up, his entire body turned pitch black which caused Stargazer conjured up yet another shark knife. "No you don't." he said as he went to stab Spike again. However, the second the knife came in contact with Spike's scales, it shattered on impact.

Spike, now to his feet, grabbed Stargazer by the neck and sent volts of black lightning through the unicorn's body. Stargazer roared out loud before being tossed into the air where he was suddenly blasted by blue lightning from Blueblood. The prince had leapt into the air, calling forth his axe to his hand, and swung at Stargazer who quickly managed to fire a blast of dark magic at the prince. Blueblood cut through the attack which gave Stargazer enough time to get in close and punch the prince in the face. Blueblood quickly countered with a swift kick to the face that pushed Stargazer back a bit. The unicorn was about to make another move, but Spike had put a stop to that by blasting him out of the sky. Stargazer landed on the ground with Spike next to him. The dragon grabbed him by the mane as black smoke seeped through the mouth and nostrils. Spike opened his mouth and unleashed a powerful wave of black fire and lightning onto Stargazer who scream as his entire body burned. Spike then threw the unicorn a few feet away before Blueblood took this chance to attack again by throwing his axe at him; striking him in the back.

Feeling untold pain, Stargazer fell to his knees with Blueblood's axe embedded in his back. Gritting his teeth and letting out a growl, Stargazer's dark aura started to rise up. He unleashed a powerful wave of dark magic; shooting the axe out of his back and turning to face both Spike and Blueblood, however, before he could do anything, Spike was already next to him and began delivering non stop punches to the unicorn's face. Each blow delivered threatened to break a piece of his face. Spike gave the unicorn no chance of counter attacking whatsoever. He just kept punching over and over and didn't stop. Spike was unleashing everything he had and wasn't gonna stop until Stargazer was incapable of moving forward. After one final punch, Stargazer was once again a bloody mess faced down on the ground with Spike towering over him. The last bit of dark magic he'd conjuered up had all but disappeared and he was now at the mercy of Spike. With black lightning surrounding his right foot, Spike stomped on Stargazer's face; shocking him repeatedly while at the same time, sending his head deep into the ground. Spike clenched his fist as black lightning surround it and went for the killing blow. This was it. Stargazer was final going to meet his end at the one being he centered his hatred around. Only....it didn't happen. Stargazer slowly opened his eyes to see Spike frozen in place.

Spike looked up as though something was wrong, before letting out a dark growl and taking off running away at full speed; leaving Stargazer alone. The unicorn was about to move up when Blueblood's axe connected with his back embedding itself in it. Stargazer yelled out once again as the prince landed right next to him before stomping his head into the ground. "What part about anything you say or do can and will make me kill you don't you understand?" said Blueblood as he went for his axe. "I'll be taking that back now." In one move, Blueblood yanked it out; earning him muffled screaming and writhing as blood splattered out. "Now where's Spike going?" he wondered as he looked off in the direction Spike went.

****************************

"TWILIGHT!" Fluttershy yelled as five of Sentinel's famares piled on top of her. The others couldn't help her because they were too busy fighting while Luna and Starlight continued to heal Celestia. Twilight used her magic to blow the mares off her, but right after she did that, five more managed to tackle her to the ground. This was a repeated patterned that she couldn't keep doing for long. Fatigue was starting to rear its ugly head as Twilight once again blew the mares away from her. Falling down to one knee, she looked up and saw more of them closing in on her. Knowing that she couldn't go on any longer, Fluttershy ran over and put herself in between Twilight and the mares; extending her arms and acting like a barrier.

"Move, bitch!" one of the mares yelled, however, Fluttershy stood firm. "Fine then, TAKE HER DOWN!" The mares charged at Fluttershy with the intent to do great harm to her. The yellow pegasus sealed her eyes shut and awaited the assault that was coming her way, however........

*BOOOOM*

Something had landed in front of her and released a terrifying roar. Fluttershy slowly opened her eyes and saw a dragon with black aura surrounding his body and two knives embedded into his bloody body."S-Spike?" she said. The mares all stopped in their tracks as Spike charged at them. He grabbed one of the mares and used her as a weapon to beat down the rest of them before discarding her like trash. While Spike was fighting them off, Fluttershy turned her attention towards Twilight who was panting heavily as she slowly lifted her head. "W-Who....or what, is that?" she asked.

"I.....I think that's Spike." Fluttershy answered. Twilight's eyes widen as she saw what Spike had transformed into. He was no longer the dragon she knew; he was a complete monster. Spike had bulldozed through the mares; trampling over them and catching every ponies attention.

"Who in Equestria is that?!" Rainbow yelled. Rainbow's question wouldn't get answered because she and everypony else now had to run out of the way due to multiple bodies flying towards them. Over with Celestia, Luna and Starlight were just about finished with their healing magic as the ruler of Equestria cursed herself for allowing somepony like Stargazer to injure her like this. She will NOT make the same mistake next time. Celestia was soon pulled from her thoughts when three of Sentinel's fanmares landed hard in front of her and the others which caught all of their attention as they wondered where they came from. It was then, they heard Spike's powerful roar and saw the black dragon wreaking havoc on anypony that crossed his path. "S-Spike." Celestia said as she started to move.

"Sister, wait." Luna warned. "We are finished yet." Celestia ignored her sister's words and rose to her feet. Spreading her wings, she took off towards Spike. Never in her life did she see him this way. It was....terrifying, to say the least. Just what in Equestria happened to her baby.

Spike had managed to smash two mares together when he heard a familiar voice call out to him. He stopped his assault long enough to see Celestia landing close to him. The look on her face was filled with shock and horror. "Spike." she whispered. "What happened to you?" Seeing that she was okay started to cause Spike to calm down a bit, but not much. He knew that Stargazer was alive out there and that meant his mates are still in danger.

"SPIKE!" came another familiar voice. To his left was Twilight running up to him; the same look of shock and horror on her face as Celestia, but it was for another reason. Twilight saw the two knives embedded in his body with blood oozing out. Every move that he made caused more and more blood loss and Twilight was unsure how long those knives were there, but knew that they had to come out. Both princesses moved closer to Spike and placed a hand on each side of his face. This caused the black aura surrounding his body to slowly fade away while his height and muscle mass started to shrink down back to normal. Upon doing so, Spike began to feel a tremendous amount of pain and fell to his knees as yelled out. It was then Celestia noticed the knives in Spike's body as well as the river of blood. The dragon began to feel himself lose consciousness due to both pain and blood loss. He managed to slowly lift up his head just in time to see a few mares coming up behind Pinkie with intentions to do her harm. This renewed his anger and instinct to protect his mares, and the black aura quickly resurfaced and surrounded Spike's body once again.

"Spike, NO!" Celestia yelled, but was pushed back when Spike roared. The dragon shot off towards Pinkie and tackled the mares coming up behind her before she even knew what was happening. While Spike was dealing with them, Rarity teamed up with Big Mac, and Shining in fighting off what looked to be the last wave of crazed fanmares. Rarity managed to trap three of them in a barrier and threw them away before turning her attention towards another four. At that point, three more snuck up behind her and tackled her to the ground; overpowering her.

"Get off me!" she demanded.

"Sentinel will not be denied!" yelled a unicorn mare as she charged up her horn. Her intentions were clear, blast Rarity into nothing. Rarity looked up in horror as the unicorn prepared to fire a powerful blast at her, however, she wouldn't get the chance to. From out of nowhere, a white beam of magic hit the mare in the back and sent her flying off. The mares who were on top of Rarity was suddenly pulled off and either punched or kicked until they ran away.

"Rarity, you okay?" came a familiar voice. "Took forever to find you in this chaos."

Rarity gasped as she saw the face of her saviour. "P-Pearl?" Pearl pulled her up to her feet and the pair embraced each other before three more mares were thrown at their feet by Big Mac. Both he and Shining surveyed the area and noticed that there were no more mares to fight.

"I think that's all of them." Shining said.

"Eeyup." Big Mac agreed.

"We should regroup with the others." Shining suggested. "They might need our help." Just then, sound of Spike's roar caught everypony's attention. They all turned in the direction it came from just in time to see a massive explosion and the bodies of the crazed fanmares flying off in different directions. The four ponies all ran towards the area to find Cadence shielding Dizzy and Stardust in a barrier as the bodies of the mares fell on top of them. A few seconds later, she let the barrier down just as Shining approached her. "Cadence, are you okay?" he asked. "What happened?"

"I don't know." she answered. "Out of nowhere, a black dragon showed up and started going on a rampage."

"Looks as though he appears to be on our side." said Dizzy. "He single handedly took out most of these mare by himself."

It was then Spike turned his attention towards them and growled. He launched himself over to them and grabbed Cadence; much to her shock. With another roar, he ran off with screaming. "CADENCE!" Shining yelled before he took off after them. Unfortunately for him, Spike was too fast.

"What was that you were saying about him being on our side?" said Pearl.

****************************

Spike had located Luna and picked her up in a single scoop and her along with Cadence to a secluded area and dropped them off. Both alicorns looked confused as he took off. Using his dragon speed, Spike was able to scoop up Pinkie, Applejack and Rainbow and brought them to the same location before going back to grab Fluttershy, Celestia and Twilight. With all of his mares in one place, Spike took a protective stance and looked out for anypony who might do them harm.

"W-What just happened?" Rainbow asked.

"I....I think Spike brought us all here to protect us." Twilight explained.

"THAT'S SPIKE?!" Cadence yelled.

"What in Equestria happened to him?!" asked Luna.

"Spike is only like this because of his need to protect us." Fluttershy explained.

"But he's never been like this before." said Pinkie.

"Maybe it's because he all of us were in trouble together." Fluttershy suggested. While the others went on with their conversation, Twilight decided that now was the time to get Spike to stop since there was nopony nearby. She began walking up to him which caused him to immediately turn around to face her.

"Stay." he growled, but Twilight refused to listen. The alicorn grabbed Spike by the face and forced her to look at him. Equestria knows that he lost a lot of blood with those knives and stab wounds on his body, and if he kept going, he'll die.

"Spike, stop." she said. "We're all okay. You don't have to fight anymore. You saved us." Twilight looked backed at everypony and motioned for them to come over and help her calm Spike down for good. She felt that they had a good chance at doing so since nopony was near them to get in the way. One by one, the other mares surrounded Spike; gasping at the knives in his back. With his mates no longer in danger, Spike's anger began to diminish. The black aura faded away along with the lightning, his scales started to change back to their normal color as well as his eyes, and his muscle mass and height shrank down. Spike was only able to remain conscious for a few seconds before his eyes roll back and he fell over into Celestia's arms with the rest of the mares yelling his name.

****************************

Blueblood dragged Stargazer's broken body across the field by the leg; the sounds of the unicorn groaning in pain was so satisfying to the prince. Looking out into the horizon, he could see Sentinel's fanmares running for their lives as they were being chased by the crystal ponies. "Maybe we should arrest those mares for assaulting the royal family." he thought. "On second thought, Nah. They're all sleeping with the same dumbass unicorn, they'll get an std from him soon enough." With that, Blueblood continued to walk on. "Now, what am I gonna do with you?" he said. "After everything you've done, your execution should be slow and painful. A firing squad is out of the question, and so is lethal injection as well as the gas chamber. They're all too fast for your own good."

Just then, Blueblood stopped walking and dropped Stargazer's leg to turn and face him. "I just remembered something." he said as he moved to kneel down next to him. "This is gonna be a problem, better fix it." In one move, Blueblood grabbed the unicorn's horn tight and started to twist his hand as hard as he could until......

*SNAP*

Blueblood broke it off. Naturally, this caused and ungodly amount of pain to the unicorn and released a high pitched scream as blood poured from his head. Blueblood powered up his fist and punched the unicorn in the face; knocking him out in the process before using magic to stop the bleeding, standing up, grabbing his leg, and continued on dragging him. As he walked, he noticed more and more ponies fighting; even a few explosions. "What the tartarus is going on?" he wondered. "I don't even know most of these ponies. Did the writer just stop giving a crap or what? I doubt his readers even know what's going on." It was feint, but Blueblood could hear Pinkie screaming bloody murder from far away.

"Wonder what her problem is?" he thought.

"HEY!" yelled a stallion. "I FINALLY FOUND YOU, YOU BASTARD!" Blueblood turned around and saw a beaten up stallion with his clothes barely hanging onto him and small stream of blood going down his face. "I'll make you pay for what you've done to my crew!" A closer look at the stallion and Blueblood remembered who it was. It was the leader of that biker gang he single handedly took out back in Baltimare. The stallion took out a knife and charged at the prince with the intent of killing him. Blueblood responded by charging up his axe and fired off a blast of lightning that sent the stallion flying high into the air before blowing up.

"Now that that's done, let's get you over to Celestia so the writer finish this damn story." he growled. Once again, he could hear Pinkie's bloody murder screams from far away.

Chapter 16

"Pinkie, what's the matter with you?!" Cadence yelled as she, Applejack, and Rainbow held her down. Pinkie continued to growl as she struggled to rise to her feet. This was the umpteenth time that Blueblood stole her shtick and she was really tired of it. While that was going on, Twilight and Luna rushed to heal Spike's stab wounds as he laid in Celestia's arms. Celestia continued to call Spike's name, but he remained non-responsive. Luna and Twilight had managed to stop the bleeding, but Spike still needed proper treatment.

"I'll take him back to Canterlot." Celestia said with urgency. Standing up with Spike in her arms, she spread her wings and took off as fast as she could. Seconds later, Shining Armor stumbled on scene; panting heavily after running non-stop all the way here.

"C-Ca-d-ence." he struggled to say before face planting on the ground. Sadly, Cadence was too busy dealing with Pinkie, and Twilight and Luna were too worried about Spike to even notice him there.

****************************

"THAT WAS SPIKE?" yelled Dizzy. Big Mac, Rarity, and Pearl all had the same shocked look on their faces as he did. Blueblood, still with and unconscious Stargazer, looked around for signs of Celestia. It didn't take him long to see a white speeding light flying through the sky.

"That's Celestia. Where is she going?" he thought. Before the prince could continue, his attention was soon captured by the sound of somepony running up to them.

"HEY, YOU GUYS OKAY?!" the pony yelled.

"It's Sunburst." said Rarity.

"All of Sentinel's crazy fanmares have left the battle and those bikers have all been captured." he said. "Is that....Stargazer?"

"What's left of him, anyway." answered Pearl.

"So, what are you gonna do with him?" Sunburst asked; turning his attention towards Blueblood.

"Isn't it obvious?" the prince answered. "After everything he's done, he'll be put to death. The real question is, how? I want to see him truly suffer before he takes his finally breath."

"Ah'll be glad ta oblige y'all!" came a familiar voice. All ponies turned just in time to see Granny Smith approaching them. With her trusted shotgun in hand, the elderly mare took dead aim at Stargazer.

"Didn't I have you committed to a home?" Blueblood asked as he raised an eyebrow at the mare.

"Nothin' can hold me fer long." she stated. "Now step away from that stallion so ah can end this."

"Not gonna happen." the prince said as his horn glowed. With a wave of his hand, Granny's shotgun flew out of her hands and landed a few feet away. "I said I want him to suffer. Knowing you, you'll just straight up killed him in a instant. And just how the Tartarus did you get here from Vanhoover anyway?"

"Vanhoover?!" Granny yelled. "Y'all shipped me off ta Manetreal!"

"Pretty sure I sent you to Vanhoover, but whatever." he said. "They're basically the same city anyways. I'll just put you in another one after all this."

"NOPE! Y'all ain't sending mah granny nowhere!" Big Mac said as he moved in front of Granny. The red stallion made it clear that he was not going to allow Blueblood to take Granny away again; even taking a fighting stance to drive his point across. Blueblood raised an eyebrow at Big Mac's actions. Was he seriously threatening to fight him if he dared bring Granny to another retirement home?

"Seriously?" the prince said.

"EEYUP!" Big Mac answered.

Big Mac stared the prince down; knowing that he was no match for him. Even with all his strength, Blueblood could still mop the floor with him, but his resolve was strong. He wasn't going to allow the prince to take away his grandmother again, though Granny still needs to face punishment for invading a foreign country and waging war. Blueblood, on the other hand, didn't really feel like getting into another fight. He had more important matters to attend to, like dealing with Stargazer. He didn't want to run the high risk of his prisoner escaping again. "Look, i'll think of another punishment for her later, right now, I need to deal with this one." he sighed. "Where's Shining Armor?"

"He went after Spike after Cadence was taken." Dizzy explained.

"Then we better get moving." he said. "The sooner we reunite with everypony else, sooner we can finally put an end to this."

****************************

The battle had ended with Equestria and the Crystal Empire victorious. As everypony celebrated, some of the remaining bikers and fanmares managed to barely escape with their lives. Ebony fell from the sky and landed hard on the ground where two familiar faces approached him. "A-A-Aqua.....G-Gravel?" he groaned.

"Come on, dumbass, we're leaving." Aqua said as she grabbed his arm.

"N-No.....n-not yet." he argued. "N-Not until I.....s-settle the s-score with my.....r-rival."

"Next time, dude." Gravel said as he helped pick up Ebony. "Right now, we need to go."

"W-Where's Sentinel." Ebony groaned.

"Knowing that dumbass, he's probably halfway to Baltimare by now." Aqua said she and Gravel began the slow process of getting Ebony as far away from the area as possible.

****************************

An unknown amount of time had passed before everypony met up with each other. "Twilight, you're okay!" Rarity said as she ran to her. The two mares embraced each other before Twilight noticed the broken and battered body of her ex on the ground with Blueblood's foot on his face.

"Stargazer?" she said.

"Don't worry about him." said Blueblood. "He's not going anywhere. Where's Shining Armor?"

"I thought he was with you." said Twilight.

"Shining was chasing Spike after he grabbed me." Cadence explained. "We were going too fast , we must have lost him along the way."

"Or, he could've been captured along the way!" came a female voice. Everypony all turned to see Shining Armor on his knees and wrapped up with rope; being held hostage by ten mares. "Give us Twilight or he gets hurt!"

"SHINING!" Cadence yelled.

"Ya know, these bitches are REALLY starting to get on my nerves." Blueblood groaned as he gripped his axe. Lightning began to surge through his body before Cadence got in front of him.

"No, don't!" she yelled. "You might hit Shining!"

"He'll live." Blueblood countered as he raised his axe. Cadence screamed then grabbed his arm and pulled it down. She gave him an angry glare, but Blueblood just rolled his eyes at her. One of the mares, a unicorn, conjured up a sword and placed it next to Shining's neck.

"Hand her over!" she demanded. "Or he gets it!" Starlight and Rarity took a protective stance in front of their friend while everypony else prepared for a fight. "So, what's it gonna be?" she asked. "Twilight, or this poor excuse of a stallion." Luna took this time to take to the sky which caught the attention of the mares, which gave Granny the chance to call forth her shotgun, take aim, and shoot the sword out of the unicorn's hand.

"Rainbow, NOW!" Luna yelled. Rainbow used her superior speed to launch herself and grab Shining Armor; flying away with him. With no leverage to protect them, Blueblood recharged his axe at the same that Luna powered up. The two of them fired at the mares; blowing them away in an instant. With them gone, Blueblood turned around just in time to be punched in the face and sent stumbling backwards. Struggling to standing up was none other, than Stargazer. Using what little strength he had left, he ran over towards Rarity and Starlight and knocked the two of them out of the way before grabbing Twilight. Unfortunately with his horn broken, using magic was going to be a bit difficult, so teleporting away was not an option.

"TWILIGHT!" Pinkie screamed.

"STAY BACK!" he yelled. His hold on Twilight didn't last very long seeing as how he was still weak from his earlier fight. The purple alicorn managed to break free from his grasp and delivered a hard punch to his face. Stargazer stumbled back a bit before Twilight powered up her fists and struck him again. This time, his body flew upwards a bit before he landed hard on the ground. Stargazer was about to rise to his feet, but was stopped when Blueblood tackled back to the ground. With one hand over his neck, the prince began delivering non stop punches to the unicorn's face before putting him in a headlock. "T-T-Twi-light." he struggled to say. "W-Why....I t-thought y-you l-l-loved me."

"After everything you've done, WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT?!" she asked. Stargazer tried to answer, but Blueblood's hold on him increased so that he couldn't talk. The prince was so pissed off at that cheapshot earlier, that he was going to end the unicorn right then and there. "Y-Y-Yu.......aved.......eeeeee." he managed to say.

"Blueblood, let him talk." Twilight asked the prince. Blueblood answered with a glare. Was she seriously asking him to loosen his grip on the bastard? Did she seriously think he was going to listen to her? Blueblood responded to her request by increasing his hold on Stargazer's neck. "Blueblood, PLEASE!" Twilight shouted. She raised her hand; capturing the prince's arms in a magical aura and pulled them away from Stargazer's neck.

Stargazer coughed violently before catching his breath. "S-See.....I k-knew it....y-you do still....l-l-loved.....m-me." he coughed. "Twilight....you s-saved me f-from that lizard before h-he k-killed me. Why would you d-do that if y-you didn't still love me?"

"Spike, is NOT a lizard!" she said. "He's a kind dragon who couldn't live with himself if he ever found out he took somepony's life! The only reason I saved you, was to keep HIM from crossing that line!" One by one, Twilight's friends made their way to her side as she couldn't hold back her tears any longer. "You tried to kill him twice, and even then, he showed you mercy by not having you executed!"

"Big mistake right there." Blueblood thought as he tried to break free from Twilight's grip.

"H-He tore us apart." Stargazer argued.

"No. You tore us apart all because of your jealousy!" Twilight yelled. "Spike had nothing to do with that!"

"N-NO!" he yelled. As Stargazer attempted to move forward, Twilight released Blueblood from her hold, and the prince instantly wrapped his arms around the unicorn's neck; tighter this time. Stargazer struggled to get away, but to no avail.

"Whatever part of me that still loved you, died when you tried to kill me." Twilight said; unable to hold her emotions in any longer. "I....I hate you, I hate you, I HATE YOU!" Unable to take seeing Twilight like this, Pinkie pulled her friend into her arms and held her as continued saying how much she hated Stargazer. Blueblood's grip on the unicorn increased with every second to the point that he nearly snapped his neck. The prince was forced to loosen his grip as he changed his mind on wanting to kill him right then and there; he had a more devious plan on how to deal with him. With hardly any oxygen reaching his brain, Stargazer blacked out; the last thing he saw, was Twilight crying in Pinkie's arms. Blueblood released Stargazer from his hold and the unicorn's limp body fell to the ground with a loud thud. Blueblood then grabbed him by the leg and proceeded to walk off with him; dragging his unconscious body along the way. He made his way over to Dizzy, pushed him out of the way, rather rudely, and levitated Stardust over his shoulder before opening a portal to Canterlot. "Hurry up, or i'm leaving you all here!" he announced. His tone of voice showed that he was ready for all of this to be over.

****************************

Aqua and Gravel managed to make it to the Ponyville Train Station without alerting any of the residents who remained in the town to clean up the mess that was made during Sentinel's attack; making it on board the train seconds before it started to depart from the station. "Made it." said Dizzy.

"I.....I lost to him again." said Ebony as he tighten his fist.

"Well you did just get out of the hospital after getting your ass kicked by him from last time." said Aqua. "Did you really think you'd be at 100% after that?"

"Then, when we return home, i'll quadruple my training." he said. "I'll work non stop if I have to, so that the next time we meet, i'll be victorious!"

Aqua looked at him with a "seriously" look. "Whatever you say, dude."

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" came a voice.

"What was that?!" Ebony asked.

"It came from over there." Gravel said as she stood up. Deciding to check it out, Gravel followed the sounds of screaming over to the next car. It was then he saw a group of mares surrounding a stallion. Three of them were unicorns who had their hands over his body; seemingly attempting to heal him. The stallion continued writhing on the floor in pain when Gravel approached and saw who it was. "Sentinel?" he said.

"T-The....pain." he groaned. "I h-hate them.....I hate them so much!"

"Well, you asked for it." Gravel said; earning a glare from the mares. "What did you think would happen when you invaded their hometown? Just look at what they did to Baltimare!"

"S-Shut up!" he said before groaning in pain once again. "I won't g-give up! T-Twilight will be mine. I'll heal, and get that lizard back!"

"You do that, and you'll die." Gravel said with a sigh.

"Then i'll be sure to take him with me!" Sentinel argued before releasing another groan of pain. "T-This.....this isn't over.....n-not by a long shot."

****************************

It was a coincidence, it had to be. Not only were everypony at the same hospital, but Spike was placed in the exact same room he was placed in on the night of gala when he was attacked by three dragons. He was even being looked after by the same doctor. Spike's room was filled with Celestia's sobbing as she held his head in her arms while everypony watched with dread. "H-How long will he be like this?" asked Rainbow.

"Hard to say, he did lose a lot of blood. On top of that, the places where he was stabbed were all vital points of his body." the doctor answered. "Our examinations show that his body is healing itself albeit very slowly. He'll most probably be in this coma-like state for a few weeks.....or a few months at best." Twilight slowly went over to Spike's side, grabbed his hand, and brought to her tear filled face as she squeezed it. Her heart ached as she watched Spike's pale face due to lack of blood. She'd never seen him so weak before and feared he may never wake up.

"Spike." she whispered.

As everypony gathered around their dragon friend, Luna closed her eyes as her body glowed. She attempting to enter Spike's dream to see if he was alright, but to her shock, she could enter it. It was as if there was some kind of barrier preventing her from advancing any further. After coming back to the real world, she found that there was nothing she could do. Spike was going to have to recover all on his own.

**************one week later**************

"Stargazer, for the crime of attempted murder of a member of the Royal Family, and the Princess of Friendship, you are hereby sentenced to death!

Princess Celestia's words were etched in Stargazer's mind as five guards escorted him down the hallway and towards an open area. The unicorn was wrapped in unbreakable golden chains with each guard holding onto a chain leash so that he couldn't get away. They entered an open area where above them there was a glass barrier where the royal family and several other ponies sat to witness the execution. Stargazer was free from his binding only to be quickly tied up to a pole in the middle of the room. Suddenly, his body started glowing with a yellow aura. "This is a regeneration spell." he thought. "Why would......." Stargazer was pulled from his thoughts when he looked and saw Blueblood behind the glass barrier with his glowing right hand up. He was the one who was casting the spell, but why? At that point, Stargazer was douse with a strange liquid over and over until his body was drenched.

Up in the spectator seats, Cadence looked over at Blueblood and saw that in his lap was box of tissues and a bottle of lotion. "Blueblood, why do you have those?" she asked.

"Because, Cadence, the readers and myself have been waiting for this moment since August 4, 2016." he explained. "I don't know about them, but i'm gonna enjoy every fucking second of this."

Somewhere in Equestria, Pinkie is screaming her plot off in sheer anger.

Luna stood up from her seat and approached the intercom just as one of the guards walked up to Stargazer with a large torch. "Stargazer, your actions are the cause of what's about to happen today." she said. "If there are any last words you want to say, say them now."

"Where's Twilight?!" he demanded.

"She declined to be here." Luna answered. "Now give your final statements before your end."

Stargazer lowered his head and growled. Why wasn't Twilight here to save him? She still loved him right? She said so herself. Just before he lost consciousness. She said that a small part of her still loved him, so why wasn't she here to save him from execution? Did she....did she lie to him? "This is your last chance to give any final statements you have!" Luna said.

Stargazer raised his head up to look straight at her. "That lizard took everything from me, and yet, I'M the one you execute?!" he said. "They're all the same, they take whatever they want and damn the consequences! He knew what me and Twilight had and he couldn't stand it! Because of him, I lost a very special mare! If you want to know what true injustice looks like, then look no further then right here! Not only did he turn Twilight against me, but he also turned my own friends against me as well! He's nothing but a useless, wingless dragon that contributes nothing to Equestria, and yet, you're all hanging on his dick! A lot of good that'll do ya since he can't have foals with any of you! So tell me, do you really think he'll make anypony happy?!" At this point, Stargazer turned his attention towards Celestia; making it known that his next words for her. "You should've let him die on that rock where you found him!"

With untold anger, Celestia stood up from her chair and gave the signal for the guard to light that stallion up. "May the stars have mercy on your soul." the guard said before he threw the torch. With seconds, Stargazer's body went a blaze; his screams of agony filling the entire stadium. As the seconds ticked by, the flames grew more and more as pieces of the stallions flesh burned off his body as he thrashed around. As his screams continued, Stargazer's entire life started t flash in front of him. His mind went back to images of his parents and childhood before images of Twilight started to flood. Their first date, first kiss, and even the first time they had sex all replayed in his mind. He started to see all the good times they've had as a couple as well as what their future might've been if it wasn't for Spike being involved. If only he had just died in the hospital bed then he and Twilight could live out the rest of their lives together.

"TWILIGHT!" he screamed as he writhe in pain.

This execution should've been over by now, but for some reason it was continuing. Celestia was the first to notice that Stargazer's body was healing itself as he burned. That shouldn't happen since his connection to magic was severely weaken due to his horn being broken off. So how is he able to do it? Celestia's answer would soon come as Luna tapped her on the shoulder then pointed to Blueblood whose hand was glowing with a big smile on his face. He was the one prolonging Stargazer's suffering. Celestia slowly rose of her chair and went over to her nephew who was about to get his tissues and lotion ready. "Blueblood." she said.

"Don't take this away from me." he said.

It was then Celestia placed a hand on his shoulder; causing him to look up at her. He could see it in her eyes, Celestia didn't want to spend another second breathing the same air as Stargazer, and it was taking everything she had to not break through the glass wall and deliver the killing blow to him right then and there; especially after what he just said to her. With a loud groan, Blueblood ended the spell and Stargazer's scream reached a glass cracking tone as he continued screaming Twilight's name. A few seconds later, his screaming had stopped and the guards put out the flames with a buckets of water. All that was left was black, charred body that was slumped over; the only thing somewhat keeping it up, were the chains holding it to the pole. As all the other witnesses stood from their seats, Celestia continued to watch as Stargazer's charred, lifeless body was released from the chains and placed on a stretcher where white sheet was placed over him before slowly being carried away.

Stargazer was dead.

Author's Notes:

He's finally dead......or is he????

No. He REALLY is dead, and he's NOT coming back. Now that the Stargazer bit is finally over, we can go back to the segment you all love from this franchise.....drama.

Chapter 17

A few days after Stargazer's execution, Twilight and the other bearers of the elements were attending the stallion's funeral. It was only the six bearers, Big Mac, Cadence, Starlight, Dizzy, Pearl, Granny Smith, and Blueblood. Celestia and Luna were at the hospital checking in on Spike while Sunburst was seeing to the rebuilding of Ponyville. Four guards carrying Stargazer's casket set it down on the small platform right next to the grave before leaving. "Does any pony want to say a few words?" Blueblood asked. Everypony was silent; especially Twilight. She had no idea why she even bothered showing up after what what he did tried to do to her and Spike.

"Ah got somethin' ta say!" said Granny as she approached the casket. "AHEM! Ashes ta ashes....dust ta dust....we bury this fucker....in the earth's crust."

*BAM*

In a single move that shocked everypony, Granny kicked the casket over into the hole; Stargazer's charred body falling out of it before the whole thing fell in. With a satisfied smile, Granny lit up a cigarette. "Now that that's done, ah'ma head home. Ah'm missin' mah stories."

"MA!" yelled Bright Mac.

"Welp, since he's in the ground already, pour the dirt on him so we can go home." said Blueblood.

"Your majesty, please, have some respect for the dead!" pleaded Pear Butter.

"He's dead, what's he gonna do?" Blueblood responded.

"YOUR MAJESTY!" Pear shouted in shock; causing Blueblood to groan.

"Find, i'll fix it." he grumbled. "Damn mare with her damn morals." Raising his hand, Blueblood levitated the casket out of the hole along with the charred body. It was the first time Twilight and the others got a real good look at it. Fluttershy buried her face in Big Mac's chest, while Applejack and Rainbow Dash cover their eyes. Pinkie and Rarity were so disgusted by the sight that the two of them threw up on their coltfriends while there was a loud gasp from all their mothers. Twilight didn't even bother looking as she believed whatever it was that happened to his body was too good for him. The alicorn simply stood up and walked away; not even bothering anymore. Blueblood placed the body in the casket, then set it back into the hole. "Now can somepony please pour some dirt over this asshole so we can be done with this storyline already!" the prince said. "We've got at least three more installments, one of which might retcon something that's already been established, a spin off featuring the CMC for some reason, and possibly a prequel before the writer ends this series that i'm not even sure HE knows what direction he's taking in!"

"YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Pinkie scream before launching herself at the prince; tackling him to the ground. Punches, kicks, and body slams from both of them ensued. After a few minutes, the two of them were separated with bruises all over their bodies. Rarity conjured up a shirt and used it to cover up Pinkie's exposed breasts since her shirt was ripped in the fight as both her and Blueblood yelled at each other while they tried to get free to fight again. It took the strength of nearly everypony around to keep them separated. While this was going on, Starlight went after Twilight and found her at the entrance of the cemetery.

"Twilight?" she said.

"Why did he do this?" she asked. "Why did he do ANY of this?"

"Jealousy can make a pony do dark things, Twilight." Starlight said; giving Twilight some space.

"He had nothing to be jealous over!" Twilight raised her voice. "Spike never got in the way of the two of us. He's always gone out of his way to leave us alone whenever possible. Even.....even after his attack, when the two of us left the party Pinkie threw from him, Spike did nothing to get in the way of that."

"Then there's only one explanation, Twilight, I don't believe he ever truly loved you." came Cadence's voice as she gently landed next to them. "I've seen his type before; the type that would do anything in order to keep you all to himself. It's clear that he never saw you as a mare, but as his own personal property. Maybe he did love you in the beginning, but it's clear that over time, he's love turned into obsession; wouldn't surprise me if he was planning to isolate you from everypony little by little." Twilight hugged herself and lowered her head; still in disbelief that this was actually happening. Stargazer was dead due to his actions against the royal family, and even tried to kill her along with himself in order to make sure that nopony else has her. The more Twilight thought about it, the more she came to realize that the signs were there all along. The subtle way he'd look at Spike and other stallions, his body language, and even his actions showed that he never liked anypony being anyway near her. Even going back to the party after Spike's attack when the two of them went upstairs for sex, did he lure her there just to show rub it in Spike's face? Or what about the night of the meteor shower where he tried to get her in the mood and she stopped it. He knew Spike was with them, so was trying to sleep with her in front of him? He was, wasn't he? As the seconds went by, Twilight started to feel guilty for everything that's happened; for not seeing the signs. If only she'd seen the signs of Stargazer's jealousy earlier, then maybe she could've prevented all of this from happening.

"No, Twilight, don't even think it." Cadence said sternly. "I've seen that face before, and you're blaming yourself."

"But it is my fault." she argued. "If I had just....."

"It wouldn't change the fact that Stargazer still betrayed you." Cadence cut her off. "If you've learn of his plot earlier, Spike wouldn't have been attacked that night by Goliath and his goons, but his heart still would've been broken."

"Cadence is right." Starlight chimed in. "That bitch still would've gone back to her mate, and left him alone. And Even if you broke up with him earlier than you did, he still would've made an attempt on Spike's life. There's no way around it." Twilight said nothing; opting to play every single scenario in her head where she caught on to Stargazer's plot. Each one she ran resulted the same way, Spike would still have been hurt in one way or another. His fate was sealed the second she allowed Stargazer into her life, but then again, even if she hadn't gotten with Stargazer, Spike still would've found his way to "she who shall not be named", only to be heartbroken later on without Stargazer's interference. He just sped up the process.

"Spike." she whispered as she realized Spike was gonna be hurt no matter what.

****************************

Celestia laid in the hospital with Spike in her arms as Luna may yet another attempt to enter his dream, but was denied access. "It's no use." she said. "No matter how hard I try, I can't get in." Celestia responded by holding Spike tighter while attempting to hold back her tears.

"Spike." she whispered. "Please open your eyes. Come back to me." Resting her head on top of his, the princess quietly sobbed. Luna, taking a seat next to the bed, grabs Spike's hand and brings it to her cheek. As Spike laid there unresponsive, the words of Stargazer and Dragon Lord Atomsk played in her mind. One telling her that she failed raising him as a proper dragon while the other told her that she should've left him to die on a rock. Dragon's scales are supposed to be extremely tough, and yet, Stargazer was able to stab him multiple times. Dragon's are suppose to have factors that causes them to heal almost instantly, and yet, Spike's factor take longer to activate. Celestia believed that because she didn't know much about dragon's, she and the others put Spike's life at risk many times. She did her very best to raise and care for him, and this is her reward for doing so? It wasn't fair. Spike didn't deserve this. He didn't deserve to have his heart broken, his life threaten, and once again put in the hospital. He deserves to be happy just everypony else. Does the universe hate him that much just for being born? The more Celestia thought about it, the more her heart broke. She swore that if Spike were to wake up, she'll do whatever it takes to keep him safe and make him happy.

A few minutes had passed before the doctor walked in. He was about to say something, but froze in complete fear when Celestia shot him a death glare. She knew that he was going to tell her and Luna that it was time to leave, and there was no way that was gonna happen. The doctor had no choice but to slowly back away; else he'd face the wrath of an emotional princess. "I don't get paid enough for this." he groaned as he walked down the hallway.

That night, Spike's room was filled with all his friends fast asleep. Each one dreaming about what was gonna happen once he wakes. Pinkie dreaming about throwing a recovery party form him while serving him a giant plate of Mr. Cake’s cheese stuffed pretzels, Fluttershy dreaming about him and her animal friends playing, Rarity dreaming about gem hunting with him like they've done before, only this time, the gems would be for him, Applejack dreaming about giving Spike a large barrel of of her family's apple cider and watching him drink the entire thing, Twilight dreaming about cuddling and kissing him on the cheek multiple times as shooting stars fly across the sky, Starlight dreaming about taking Spike to her hometown and introducing him to her family, and finally Rainbow Dash dreaming about.......getting back at Spike for making her submit to him during the mating process. It was something that was still on her mind, and once Spike recovers, she'll make him pay. While everypony slept, Luna continued to make an attempt to enter Spike's dream, but was still unable to do so. After multiple attempts, she decided to stop; mostly because of multiple ponies who need her help in their dreams.

In the bed, Spike laid in between Twilight and Celestia as the two alicorns cuddled against him. Twilight was the first to wake up and notice no change in Spike's condition. Tears started to form in her eyes as she watched him. "Spike." she whispered as she clung to him. "Please wake up." Burying her face in his neck, she quietly sobbed; begging for him to open up his eyes. Her sobbing fell on deaf ears as Spike continued to remain unresponsive.

****************************

In Baltimare, Sentinel stood on a balcony of his hotel room staring out into the night sky. "I lost to him again." he thought. "That damn lizard beat me again. I bet he's banging MY Twilight right this second just to rub it in my face." Sentinel's anger started to grow the more he thought about it. The mere thought of Spike's body rubbing against Twilight's was enough to make his blood boil. He didn't care about the five naked mares inside calling to him as the rubbed themselves with lotion which is extremely rare. Sentinel began plotting another revenge scheme against Spike; believing that he was gonna rise victorious this time. He spent minutes standing outside thinking about what he can do to humiliate Spike and take back what's rightfully his, and then, it came to him.

"That's it." he said. "That's how i'll do it." Reaching inside his pocket, he pulled out his cell phone and dialed a number. It rung three time before somepony answered it. "It's me. I know how we can get back at that lizard. The you-know-what is coming up, we can do it there. I'll meet up with you tomorrow and we can sort out the details." After hanging up, Sentinel turned his attention towards his mares and made his way inside to join them.

"All that's left to do now is play the waiting game." he thought.

Author's Notes:

Sentinel and his crew will return

Chapter 18

Two months had passed and it was now the fall season. While the citizens of Canterlot were preparing for the upcoming fall festival, Celestia spent her time in Spike's hospital room. She opened the blinds on the window allowing the brightness of the sun to shine in before she made her way over to his bedside. Looking at his peaceful body, she leaned in and planted a small kiss on his forehead while caressing his cheek. Celestia spent everyday in the past two months by Spike's side whenever she got the chance. The only time she ever enters the castle is for the royal court, after that, she returns to the hospital in hopes that when Spike wakes up, she's the first one he sees. As she sat next to Spike, something happened that nearly caused her heart to stop. Spike took a deep inhale then exhaled hard. "Spike?!" she nearly yelled. The princess moved to grab his face while saying his name over and over, but there was no change. She was sure that Spike was getting better; any second now, he'll open his eyes, but when that didn't happen, Celestia was heartbroken again. She felt as though somepony out there was playing a cruel joke on her. Holding him close, she broke down crying; her tears falling on his face as she rested her head against his.

Her cries continued on for a few more minutes until she felt something touching and squeezing her hand. With a gasp, her head shot up and she saw a purple claw latched onto her hand. "Spike?" she whispered.

"I....can't....breathe." he groaned.

Celestia, now fill with so much joy, screamed Spike's name, while tightening her embrace around his neck; nearly smothering him between her massive breasts as she cried tears of happiness; eventually letting him go so she could climb in bed and cuddle him close. The warmth of her body and the softness of her breasts caused Spike to melt in her embrace. He wondered why Celestia was crying so much and holding him like something bad had happened to him. He just just fell asleep for while; no need to get upset over........ "Wait, a minute." he thought. "This isn't my room." Spike looked around, and upon further observation, he realized that he was in a hospital room. "W-Wha....how did I end up here?" he thought. Spike started to shift his body to face Celestia, but her embrace tighten a bit.

"No....don't move." she said softly.

"Why am I in a hospital room?" he thought. "How'd I get here?" He began to think back to before. "Let's see, I know I was with Twilight and the others, then I was with Pinkie, then I was brought to Canterlot......and that's it. I don't remember anything else." Celestia's soft crying turned into sniffles as she held Spike even closer to her; his face nearly buried in between her massive mammaries. He could feel his inner male instincts telling him to pull down her dress and release at least one of those orbs from their prison. Before he could do anything, Celestia placed her hand over his and gave it a light squeeze. "No, Spike, not now." she said softly. Spike was sure she was reading his mind. How else could she have known what he was gonna do before he even did anything. Oh well, guess he'll just have to settle with having half of his face against those soft pillows of hers.

Some time had passed and the two of them remained cuddled in bed until a soft rumbling noise caught both their attentions. Celestia slowly lifted her head and looked down at Spike. "Spike, are you hungry?" she asked.

"A bit." he answered before another rumbling sound came up.

Celestia giggled. "I'll go get you something to eat then." She was about to move out of bed, but Spike grabbed her. "Spike, what is it?" she asked.

"Before you go, I gotta ask, how did I end up here?" he asked.

"Don't you remember?" she asked. Spike shook his head no and Celestia lowered her head; wondering if she should tell him or not. "What am I thinking?" she thought. "Of course I should tell him, he deserves to know." Celestia slowly moved to sit up and gave Spike a serious, yet worried look. She was unsure how he was gonna take the news, but found it best to just tell him now rather than wait. Taking a breath, she placed a hand over Spike's and started to reveal everything to him; the attack on Ponyville, his fight with Stargazer, everything. She even revealed to him that all of that happened two months ago and that he's been in a coma since then due to a large amount of blood loss he suffered. Spike was in shock after absorbing all that information; so much so that he didn't move an inch. Instead, he just laid there staring into space with a blank look on his face after hearing about being in a coma for two months. Celestia called out to him multiple times, but he didn't respond. She leaned down wrapped her arms around his head; bringing him in between her breasts. Only with the lack of oxygen did Spike snap out of his trance and squirm around; prompting Celestia to let go of him. As Spike started to catch his breath, Celestia nuzzled her cheek against his. Spike soon started to think about Twilight and the others, and what they must've been thinking, seeing him in this hospital bed, not knowing whether or not he would wake up; it must've been terrifying for them. If only there was some way he could let them know he was okay. "Don't worry, Spike, i'll send word to Twilight and the others soon." Celestia said.

It's official. Celestia IS reading Spike's mind.

****************************

Later on that day, Spike's room was filled with crying mares. After receiving Celestia's letter, Twilight and the others wasted no time in making their way to the hospital and throwing themselves on top of Spike; clinging to him as if at any second he would be taken away from them. Spike, admittedly, was enjoying the softness of their bodies against his and wanted to at least touch them, but couldn't due to the fact that they had him pinned down to the bed so moving was out of the question. One thing Spike DID notice, was that his urges wasn't as bad as they used to be. Yeah, he still wanted to to touch the mares inappropriately, but he was in full control of himself. The urges he felt were just normal natural instincts; not backed up by his earlier instincts. Maybe it was because he mated with everypony and regained his sanity before he completely lost it. At least that's what he thought at first before another thought entered his head. Celestia had told him that two months had passed, and if he remembered the dates right, then that would make this the fall season. Which means, his cycle has ended. He was free, that is until next year, but what would that mean for the others. The only reason they allowed him to claim them was so that he wouldn't lose it and go after somepony. They all have a special somepony in their lives, it wouldn't be right for him to keep them to himself, but does he really want to let them go?

Spike was pulled from his thoughts when Twilight and Pinkie began planting small pecks all over his face; Fluttershy, Rarity and the others soon joining in. After that was done, everypony was placed in a magical grip and pulled away so that Luna and Cadence could cuddled against him next. For two months, two long excruciating months, Luna has tried and failed to enter Spike's dreams. It wasn't until later that she discovered the reason she wasn't able to, was because he wasn't dreaming. Spike had been in a dreamless state the past two months; a state in which all you see is nothing but a black void until you wake up. Luna tried to break that void, but to no avail. The only thing she could do, was wait until Spike woke up on his own.

Cadence had spent the past two months visiting Spike whenever she could. It was hard for her to do so since she had an empire to run, but when she was able to, she'd leave in a heartbeat. Cadence would sit by Spike's side and just talk to him; hoping that he could hear voice. From singing to him to retelling his favorite childhood stories, she hoped that doing these things would trigger something inside that would caused him to wake up, but sadly nothing had worked. The tears she shed were that of extreme happiness as she held Spike close; bombarding him with kisses all over his face. After a while, both princesses were pulled away by Celestia so that Spike could breathe, but it wouldn't be long before they were all over him again.

****************************

Later that day, Spike was alone with Pinkie while everypony had to leave. Celestia, Luna, and Cadence had to handle some political crap while Twilight and the others were called away to solve another friendship problem; the tenth one this month. For some reason, Pinkie wasn't called away for this mission, but at least Spike had somepony to stay with him. He really didn't want to be alone after all that's happened. Pinkie happily climbed into bed and cuddled up against Spike with her signature giggle. As they two of them laid together, Spike started to realize that neither Dizzy nor Pearl came to see him. Okay, he didn't expect Pearl since he had a feeling that the unicorn didn't much like him, but he'd hoped to at least see Dizzy. Maybe something happened and he couldn't make it, Spike started to wonder.

"Say, Pinkie?" he said.

"Hmm?" she answered.

"How come Dizzy and Pearl didn't come with you guys?" he asked. Pinkie said nothing; opting to remain uncharacteristically quiet. "Pinkie?" Spike said as he realized she was keeping something from him. "Pinkie, what happened?" he said like a parent knowing their child did something they weren't supposed to. Pinkie continued to remain quiet while refusing to look at him. Spike moved to sit up and grab Pinkie's face; forcing her to look at him. Spike gave Pinkie a stern look which caused her to cave in.

"Okay, okay, i'll talk." she said.

"What happened?" he asked.

"I'm sorry, Spike, it's just.....it's been so long since i've had sex with him, and Blueblood keeps stealing my shtick and pissing my off....." she started. "So I.....I....."

"Pinkie.....where's Dizzy?" Spike asked; scared to know the answer.

"He's.....he's a few rooms down the hall from you." she confessed; lowering her head as her mane deflated a bit.

****************************

In a hospital room down the hall, there laid a stallion in a full body cast with the only visible part of his body being his tear filled eyes as loud sniffles filled the room.

****************************

"Pinkie, you didn't." Spike said as he face palmed.

"I'm sorry." she said in a low tone. "I didn't mean to wreck him."

Spike sighed heavily before giving Pinkie a head pat. "What am I gonna do with you?" he said. Pinkie said nothing and enjoyed the head pat for a while before Spike asked another question. "So where's Pearl? It's kinda weird to see Rarity without him." Pinkie slowly turned her head away from Spike with an upset look.

"Spike, remember when I nearly broke things off with Dizzy?" she asked.

"Yeah, from what he, Pearl, and Stargazer tried to do on the night of the meteor shower, right?" he answered.

"Well, turns out, Rarity didn't know." she explained. "Pearl kept it a secret from her."

"So how did she find out?" Spike wondered.

"We were helping Twilight clean up the castle when we came across Stargazer's journal." she explained. "We read through it and came across a page where he explained everything the three of them had planned that night. I've never seen Rarity so angry before. I assumed he'd talked about it with her in private like me and Dizzy did."

"So what happened after that?" Spike asked.

"Well, Rarity stormed out of the castle and........" she started to tell her story.

**************flashback**************

Rarity stormed throughout Ponyville looking for Pearl; purple sparks of lightning shooting through her fists as each step she took left an imprint of her foot in the ground. Everypony in her path immediately got out of her way as she passed them by. Rarity knew exactly where Pearl was and once she reached him, she was going to give him a piece of her mind. She made it to her home where Pearl had just walked out. A smile form on his face once he saw Rarity, but it was quickly wiped away once Rarity's hand came in contact with it. It all happened so fast, first he was greeting her, and now, he was on the ground with a large hand imprint on his face. Looking up with confusion, he saw Rarity with a look of pure anger. "R-Rarity, what the Tartarus?!" he said.

"How long were you planning on keeping this a secret from me!" she yelled.

"Keeping what a secret?!" he asked. Rarity conjured up Stargazer's journal and threw it Pearl. When the book landed, it conveniently opened to the page where Stargazer explained everything on the night of the meteor shower. Upon reading it, Pearl's face went pale as he quickly realized that he was in some deep shit right now.

"R-Rarity, it's not what you think." he said. Pearl was captured within a magical grip and lifted up off the ground. "I....I can explain!"

"I had a feeling that the you didn't like Spike, but to go that far?!" she yelled as she tighten the grip. "It's one thing to not like him for whatever reason you have, but to actually go along with Stargazer's plan and then keep from me?!" As Pearl struggled to to get free, his eyes turned towards Pinkie and the others were just now making it on scene.

"W-Wait, R-Rarity, I wasn't the only one." he said. "D-D-Dizzy was there too. He just as much apart of it." This was his plan, to attempt to throw Dizzy under the bus so that his punishment was less severe? How pathetic could one pony be? Rarity released her magical grip and Pearl fell to the ground. The unicorn quickly rose to his feet just in time to see Rarity turn her back towards him. She was so angry that he attempted to use her like that. The only reason it didn't go any further is because she noticed Twilight stopping Stargazer's advances and followed suit. If Twilight didn't stop him, then it would cause a domino effect in which everypony would've wound up doing it in front of Spike since he was the only one there without a significant other. Realizing this, Rarity felt disgusted with not only Pearl, but herself for not realizing what was happening that night. The fact that she even allowed it to go that far caused her to feel angry with herself. Pearl moved closer to Rarity and placed a hand on her shoulder, but she pulled away from him.

"You didn't even stop to think that Spike suffered enough, did you?" she growled. "You just wanted to pour more salt in the wound, and what's worse, you wanted to use ME to do it!"

"Rarity, please....." he started as he once again moved to grab her. Rarity quickly turned around and and delivered a hard slap to his face. The echo of the impact could be heard throughout the area. It even caused the others to cringe a bit. "Don't touch me!" she growled. "Don't come near me!"

"But, Rarity, I love you." he said.

"If you loved me, then you wouldn't have tried to use me like that!" she said. It was then Pearl remembered certain words that was spoken to him by Big Mac on that night. If he didn't give up his jealousy towards Spike, then he'll lose Rarity, and right now, that's what's happening. Rarity slowly backed away from him and towards the comfort of her friends while he stood alone. He started to wonder if this was what Dizzy went through when he and Pinkie broke it off. They eventually got back together after she had time to cool off, so maybe the same will happen with Rarity. All she needs is time to cool off and then things can go back to normal between them, or so he thought. Applejack and Rainbow stood in front of Rarity and acted like a shield to prevent him from coming any closer towards her. "I don't wanna see you anymore!" she said. "GO AWAY AND NEVER COME BACK!"

**************flashback end***************

"It's been a month and a half since then, and Pearl still believes he has a chance with her again." Pinkie said.

"I....I thought the two of them had talked it over." Spike said. "You know, since it never came up."

"I thought so too." Pinkie confessed. "Guess Pearl figured if he didn't say anything then it would he'd never have to worry about. Guess he didn't expect on Stargazer having a journal since he was surprised to see it."

"I bet Stargazer won't be happy once he finds out you girls found his journal." Spike said with a chuckle. Pinkie let out a nervous chuckle with caught Spike's attention. He wanted to press the issue, but was stopped when the doctor walked in. It wasn't long before he and Pinkie got into a argument about her leaving. All he wanted to do was his job, but these mares keep getting in the way of that. Spike had enough of the arguing and asked Pinkie to let him work, at least for a few minutes. She glared at the doctor for a few seconds before reluctantly agreeing to Spike request; promising to come back and cuddle him hard. After Pinkie left, Spike started to wonder if something had happened to Stargazer while he was in coma. By the way Pinkie laughed, she definitely knew something.

****************************

It was almost sunset when Twilight and the others boarded the train to Canterlot after handling their friendship mission. "Okay, can somepony tell me what the tartarus just happened?" Rainbow asked. "How was that even a friendship problem?"

"Best not ta think 'bout it to much." Applejack answered.

"Who cares, we got it done, and now we can get to go back to Spike." said Rarity.

Seconds later, the train started to move and the mares couldn't wait to see Spike again. Along their travel, Twilight noticed Fluttershy looking concerned about something. "Is something wrong, Fluttershy?" she asked.

"Yeah, it's about Spike." she answered. "Summer's over, and that means his cycle ended too.....so.....does that mean we no longer have to be his mates?" The was a brief moment of silence between everypony as they came to realize that their time as Spike's mates, though brief due to everything that's happened, was about to come to an end. It's not like they didn't know this gonna happen, they just didn't expect it to happen so soon. It still feels like they just mated with him and haven't had the chance to truly take it all in; at least that's how Fluttershy, Applejack, and Rainbow felt. Amongst all of them, Twilight was the only who's been with Spike the longest, and even she felt like time passed way too fast. It wasn't long before another thought entered their mind. How was Spike gonna take this? Poor dragon's been through enough already, and now he was gonna have to free them from his mark; thus leaving him alone once again. While it would be sad to see Spike end up alone, it wouldn't be fair to him since Pinkie and Fluttershy have their own special somepony, while Applejack and Rainbow are in a relationship of their own along with Cadence. As for Celestia and Luna, the mares doubt that they would want to risk the possibility of a scandal if it ever came out that they were sexually involved with their son/nephew. And then there's Twilight, who had her heart broken just like Spike and who was the first to be claimed by him, by why did she go along with it? She claims that it was to help Spike gain control of himself, but deep down she knew the real reason.

She was just filling the void in her heart left by Stargazer. She knew it wasn't right, but the pain she was feeling, not to mention the pain Spike was in, was just too much. If they continued on this way, then it would just be a relationship built on lies, and neither of them deserved to go through that again. "So, what are you girls gonna do?" asked Starlight.

"When ever Spike id discharged from the hospital, we'll get him to remove the marks." Twilight said. "After that, hopefully, we can ALL start to move on."

Chapter 19

Author's Notes:

I apologize in advance for any errors, but I wanted to at least get this up before that Cat 4 hurricane hits later on today. I'll try to get chapter 20 up as well and when everything passes, i'll go back and fix whatever need to be fixing. Thx for the support guys, it means a lot.

"W-What?!" Spike said in shock. Standing in front of him was Blueblood with his arms crossed. "H-He's dead?!"

Blueblood nodded. "Celestia had him executed for attacking the royal family and attempting to kill you." he explained. "I'm not surprised she didn't tell you that; she knew you would've been against it."

"I am." Spike said with a disappointed tone. "Couldn't she have just put him in a cell underneath the prison or something?"

"We've done that already with Sky Island Prison, and he managed to escape that." Blueblood explained. "Celestia wasn't gonna take the chance of him possibly escaping again and doing more harm to anypony else; especially you." Spike lowered his head. Despite all the things Stargazer had done, he didn't want the unicorn to lose his life. Spike had been actively against the death penalty for as long as he could remember. He wasn't as naive as to believe that everypony could be redeemed with the power of love and friendship, but killing them just didn't seem right to him. He would've been more content with them living the rest of their lives in prison or banishment, but in the end, it's Celestia's decision and he's just gonna have to live with that. "I know you don't like it, kid, but trust me, it's what's best for everypony." Blueblood said.

"Blue, I can tell that you wanted him dead just by looking at you." Spike said while giving a look. "So why do you sound so......disappointed?"

"It's a moment that i've been wanting to happen for the longest time, but Celestia and Cadence wouldn't let me enjoy it." he growled. Spike figured that it'd be best not to press that issue. Knowing Blueblood, he'd probably attempted to get off on seeing Stargazer suffer before death. "So where's Twilight and the others?" Blueblood asked.

"They were called away on a friendship mission." Spike answered. "And Pinkie's with Dizzy right now."

"Okay, how does that table/map thing work away way?" Blueblood asked. "At first I thought it chooses Twilight and the others because they were element bearers, but then Starlight came over to Canterlot for a mission that one time, and last I checked,she's not one."

"I never really quite understood that either." Spike said as he pondered why Starlight was sometimes chosen to solve a friendship problem.

"Neither do the writers of this show apparently." the prince said. Seconds later, sounds of somepony running through the halls could be heard. The sounds started to get louder and louder until somepony crashed through the door.

"YOU BLONDE BASTARD!" screamed Pinkie as she charged at Blueblood. The prince responded by grabbing her and throwing her over his shoulder onto Spike. Pinkie landed, softly, on top of him and turned back only to see that Blueblood was already gone. Pinkie gritted her teeth in anger and attempted go after the prince, but Spike stopped her by wrapping his arms around her waist. With all his strength, Spike managed to hold Pinkie back while she struggled to get away from him. It took some time, but eventually, the pink mare tired out and just sat there in Spike's lap breathing heavily.

"You done?" he asked.

"Y-Yeah." she panted. Spike continued to hold onto her just in case she regained her strength and attempted to escape. "I hate him." she growled.

"I can see that." Spike replied. The two of them sat there for a while until Spike was 100% sure Pinkie was calm, however, Spike would soon wish he'd let her go earlier since her thick plot was right on top of his crotch; rubbing against it. Immediately, a dark blush appeared on Spike's face as he felt himself start to become hard. It wasn't long before Pinkie started to feel his "little buddy" rubbing against her.

"Um....S-Spike?" she said with a blush.

"S-Sorry." he replied. "M-Maybe you should get off now." Spike was about to remove his arms from around Pinkie's waist, but froze when she started to move her hips from side to side slowly. Spike held back a groan as Pinkie's grinding continued. Pinkie leaned back till her back was against Spike's chest.

"Say, Spike?" she spoke up.

"W-What is it?" he asked as he started to move his hips along with hers. Pinkie turned her head to look at him and was shocked to find that his eyes weren't glowing like they did before. His cycle was truly over with and all he has to do now and bite her at the point of orgasm and she'll be free, but there was one problem, she didn't know what this would do to him afterwards. Pinkie was pulled from her thoughts when she felt Spike's claws move from her hips towards her breasts; fondling them to his heart's content before lifting up her shirt and bra revealing them to the world. Pinkie let out a high pitched squeak once Spike grabbed a hold of her nipples and twisted them; not too hard though, but enough for Pinkie to become moist between her legs. "S-Spike." she whispered as she grabbed his claws. Spike groaned as Pinkie started to move her hips in a circular motion. With a deep blush on her face, Pinkie slowly moved in and captured Spike's lips. She leaned the full weight of her body against his; causing Spike to lay down bringing her with him.

****************************

The sun had gone down right when Twilight and the others returned to Canterlot. The group quickly made their way towards the hospital to be with Spike, but were stopped by a couple of guards. They were told to meet with Princess Celestia in the throne room at once. Reluctantly, the mares had to put their reunion on hold. If the princess wants to see them, then it must be important. The mares rushed towards the castle, and with some magic from Twilight, teleported inside the throne room where the three princesses, Shining Armor and Blueblood were waiting for them. "Took you long enough to get here." said the prince.

"What's going on?" Twilight asked.

"Earlier today, we've received word that something has happened in the kingdom of Dragonia." Shining explained. "Dragon Lord Atomsk was forced to abdicate his position." Hearing this earned a gasped from the mares as Shining continued. "Naturally, his followers are against this and a civil war threatens to erupt."

"So who's the new Dragon Lord?" asked Rainbow.

"From what we understand, the Dragon Lord is going to be his brother, Torch." Celestia answered. "Unlike Atomsk, Torch is actually a really good diplomat, even if he doesn't want to admit it. If I remember right, he's the reason the "Grand War" ended between our two kingdoms."

"So what happens to....."her"?" Twilight asked; refusing to say the name of a certain dragoness. Just thinking about her name caused untold anger to grow within the purple alicorn.

"Assuming their royalty is anything like ours, the throne would probably go towards one of Torch's kids." Blueblood answered. "Like how if Celestia and Luna were to retire, then the thrones would revert to me and Spike since we're next in line. With Atomsk no longer Dragon Lord, Amethyst will never see that title."

"I always thought Twilight would be the one to take the throne." said Starlight. "You know, since she's Celestia's former student and all."

"Twilight......take the throne?" Blueblood chuckled. "The pony who has a mental breakdown every time the slightest bit of pressure is put on her?"

"What?! I don't have mental breakdowns!" Twilight defended.

"YES YOU DO!" said everypony else. Twilight responded with an angry pout while crossing her arms; earning a chuckle from Celestia. After that, her demeanor went back to being serious and she engaged Twilight and the others.

"That being said, we're keeping a close eye on the situation." she said. "Just in case we have to get involved, but hopefully, it won't come to that."

****************************

Spike released a soft groan as he held onto Pinkie. Her hips bounced up and down at a nice pace while burying her face into Spike's neck. Taking him deeper inside, her inner walls tighten up around him as she moaned in his ear. "S-Spike." she moaned.

Spike couldn't believe it, this was what sex felt like? It was amazing. Every movement caused Spike to feel Pinkie's inner walls pulling him deeper. It was as if she was trying to suck everything out of him at once. He was sure he was gonna lose it; not helped by the fact that Pinkie just increased her movements a bit. The bouncing of her hips caused her thick plot to jiggle like jello. Spike wished he could see it right now, but settled instead to just move his to grabbed the soft flesh and grope it to his heart's content. "Mmmm." Pinkie moaned as she switched to a circular movement. "It feels so good." Adding to the pleasure, Pinkie alternated between circular and up and down movements while burying her face in Spike's neck. Not wanting to be out done, Spike bucked his hip upwards meeting her thrusts earning him a muffled moan from Pinkie. "Spike, i'm gonna cum." she whispered as her walls started to tighten up. Spike felt himself getting close as well when he realized that he had to make a choice. Either keep Pinkie for himself, or let her go. The dragon blood inside him was telling him to keep her, while his dragon pride was telling him that keeping her wasn't right since she has somepony already; somepony who's currently in a hospital room down the hall from him cause she wrecked him, but still, it wouldn't be right.

Dizzy was his friend, and so was Big Mac, and Shining. He couldn't do that to them; any of them. Spike turned his gaze towards the mark he gave Pinkie and gently kissed it; feeling a slight pain in his chest as he did so. Giving her plot a firm squeeze, Spike slowed down his movements; giving himself a bit more time to enjoy being with her. Pinkie released a long moan before following his lead and slowing down as well. A lot of good that did her since she was now a only a few seconds from exploding. "Spike, please, let me cum." she begged. "I can't hold it."

"Do it." he said softly.

Pinkie rose her hips as high as she could without causing Spike to slip out, then slammed down hard against him; causing her inner walls to tighten up like a vice as her entire body trembled. Spike grabbed Pinkie's hips, and bucked his upwards three times before exploding inside her. While in the middle of their climax, Spike quickly bit down on Pinkie's shoulder; right over her mark. The mare opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out, instead, she just held onto to Spike as the pain on her shoulder slowly faded away. Moments later, the mark on her shoulder slowly disappeared and Spike felt a familiar pain in his chest. The pain of heartache. The last time he felt this this way was back when.....no.....he can't do it, he can't start thinking about her. She's no longer in his life now, and thinking about her now would bring her ring back in, and that was the last thing he needed. Pinkie slowly lifted her head to look at Spike with tears streaming down her face as she started to recover. "S-Spike." she whispered before smashing her lips against his.

Their makeout session only lasted for a few seconds before Pinkie rose her hips; causing Spike to slip out of her. "Spike....d-did you.....remove it?" she asked. Spike answered her with a nod and she responded by holding him tight; smashing her tits against him. Pinkie was free from Spike's mark, and that meant she could now return to Dizzy......if he ever recovers.

*BAM*

"SPIKE!" screamed Twilight after practically kicking the door open.

Spike suddenly found himself sitting up right, fully clothed, and looking around with a confused look on his face. He looked over at Pinkie, who also fully clothes, sitting next to him with an arm around his neck giving off her signature smile. "How the Tartarus did she do that?" he thought.

****************************

That night, Spike couldn't sleep, not because of the multiple mares all over him, but mostly because of the feeling in his chest. Releasing Pinkie from the mark was causing him to feel lonely and depressed, but at least he still had the others, right, so he thought. Spike knew that he was going to have to release everypony else eventually, maybe even all at once if possible, despite what his inner dragon blood is telling him. Spike was pulled from his thoughts when he was pulled closer into the bosom of Celestia. His face turned a bright shade of red as witnessed Celestia's massive melons slipping out of her light-pink nightgown; most of her areolas now visible. "Spike." she mumbled in her sleep. Spike smiled; knowing that she was dreaming about him, however, his smile faded once started crying softly. "I'm sorry." she muttered. "I'm so sorry."

What was she sorry about? Spike started to wonder as her embrace around him started to tighten up a bit. Whatever she was dreaming about, it was something very upsetting. Spike wanted to wake her up, but that wasn't going to happen since he had multiple mares over him. His best bet was to attempt to get to sleep and hope he runs into Luna in the dream realm. With her magic, she can allow him to enter Celestia's dream so he can see what she was so upset about. Spike tried to get as comfortable as he could before closing his eyes. Unfortunately, the thought of losing Pinkie and eventually the others still plagued his mind and kept him from falling asleep. He continued thinking about it for an untold amount of time before Celestia stopped sobbing and calmed down. This put Spike's mind at ease as he figured Luna must've intervened, but he wondered what it was she was dreaming about. He decided to ask Luna once he saw her in the morning, so for the time being, he just laid there and continued to listen to the soft sounds of Celestia's breathing.

Chapter 20

The next day, Spike was finally discharged from the hospital and was on the first train back to Ponyville. Pinkie, of course, hurried home ahead of everypony to set up a "Spike's Coming Home From the Hospital" party. Unfortunately, due to the situation in Dragonia, Celestia and Luna had to stay in Canterlot just in case any more information came out. Spike was bummed out by this since he wouldn't have to chance to find out what Celestia was dreaming about that caused her to cry last night.

On the train, Spike sat next to Fluttershy who wrapped her arms around his. The two were looking out the window and quickly noticed that the train was slowing down for some reason; Twilight and the others noticing it as well. "I wonder why we're slowing down?" Twilight asked.

"Probably something on the tracks." Rainbow suggested. "I'll go check it out." Rainbow headed for the door just as the train came to a complete stop and flew out. She was gone for only a few seconds before returning. "Um, guys, we may have a bit of a problem." she said.

"What is it?" Twilight asked.

"Come with me." she said.

Everypony exited the train and were shocked to see a massive herd of cows in front of them. They were everywhere; all over the tracks, around the train, some even making their way inside the train. They were surrounded. "Where in Equestria did they come from?" asked Starlight.

"Is there some kind of cow farm nearby?" asked Rarity.

"Whateva' the case, we best be roundin' these varmints up." said Applejack. Right as everypony started to get to work rounding up all the cows, Spike was suddenly engulfed in a purple aura; unable to move.

"Seriously, Twilight?" he said.

"Sorry, Spike, but you're just getting out of the hospital, and I don't wanna run the risk of you possible getting hurt again." she said. Without giving Spike a change to argue his case, Twilight waved her hand and sent the dragon floating back into the passenger car. Once inside, the purple aura disappeared and Spike groaned in aggravation. "Hate it when she does that." he said as he crossed his arms. Spike stayed behind in the car and waited for them; knowing that if he ventures out again, Twilight would just teleport him back inside. He had no way to defend himself from her magic once she uses it on him. Everytime that happens, he has no choice but to let it run its course. Spike sat there for a while before heading over towards Twilight's bag and looking through it. He pulled out a pen and paper and wrote a letter to Luna; telling her that he wishes to talk to her later on once she's free. His plan was to talk to her about Celestia's dream last night and if she knows anything about it.

An unknown about of time passed before Twilight and the others returned. "Well that took up and unnecessary amount of time." Rarity said as she took her seat. "Ugh, and don't get me started on that farmer."

"What happened?" Spike asked.

"The cows belonged to a farmer who claims the railroad runs through his land, and therefore we're on his property." Starlight explained. "We tried to explain to him that if it were true then he should take it up with Celestia, but he refused to hear it."

"Took us forever to convince him to let us through." Twilight said as she sat next to Spike. "Tomorrow, I have to look through the property line and see if the railroad was illegally placed on his land or not." Moments later, the train started to make its way towards its destination; much to the delight of the mares. The faster they get to Ponyville, the better.

****************************

After the train pulled into the station, everypony was confronted by Pinkie Pie who had an annoyed look on her face. "Where were you?!" she half yelled. "Everypony's waiting!" With no chance to respond, Pinkie grabbed Spike's hand and took off running with him at full speed; kicking up a huge pile of dust in the process. Pinkie ran through the town with Spike's flying behind her before coming to a stop in front of Sugar Cube Corner where everypony greeted him. The entire town of Ponyville was here; cheering Spike's name as the poor dragon tried to shake off the dizziness after the ordeal with Pinkie. When he finally got his head right, the first thing he noticed was the massive array of all of his favorite foods in front of him. With his mouth watered, he moved like a being possessed and quickly began stuffing his face; everypony amused at his antics.

A few minutes passed before Twilight and the others finally arrived and joined in on the celebration. Music, dancing, and laughter filled the entire town all day as everypony celebrated their town finally be whole again with Spike's return. The party lasted until the sun began to go down, and it was time to start cleaning things up. Spike wanted to help, but since he was the guest of honor, he was forbidden to do so. Instead, Mrs. Cake gifted him, with a huge plate of his favorite cheese filled pretzels. How was he gonna say no to that? Spike was about to start eating, but was stopped when he burped up a letter. It was from Luna; telling him to meet her at the Friendship Castle.

Making himself scarce, Spike left the party and headed over to the castle. It took him a while, but he finally got there; entering it and seeing Luna standing in the hall waiting for him. She headed over to him and hugged him before breaking away. "So, what was it you wanted to talk to me about?" she asked.

"It's about mom." he said. "Last night she was crying in her sleep, and wondered if you knew what it was she was dreaming about."

"Oh...that." Luna said as lowered her head a bit. "She's been like this ever since she brought you to the hospital two months ago. Celestia has been reliving all the past events that's happened to lately and she blames herself for not protecting you like she should've."

"But it's not her fault." Spike said. "Everything just sorta happened."

"I tried telling her that, but the nightmares keep coming." Luna explained.

"What if I were to convince her?" Spike suggested. "Let me into her dreams tonight, and i'll help confront whatever nightmares she's facing." Luna smiled at Spike's request, but was unsure how he would be able to help. Still, better the two of them than just her.

"Okay, Spike, tonight whenever you go to sleep, i'll bring you over to Celestia's dreams." she said. "Maybe seeing you there, will bring her some peace of mind." With that agreement, it was time for Luna go and prepare; telling Spike that she'll be waiting for him. With a flicker of her horn, the princess of the night vanished; leaving Spike to his own devices. As he started to leave, a saddening thought entered his mind. Eventually, he was going to have to let Luna go just like he did Pinkie. Not only was she his aunt, but she was also his mate. It would be a real scandal if the nobles of Canterlot ever found it. Maybe he could get away with Celestia seeing as how she's was always all over him even before all of this, but Luna would raise suspicion; at least that's what he thought. "Maybe I should let them go, it would spare their reputation at least." he thought. At that point, he felt a sharp pain in his chest. Just thinking about releasing Celestia and Luna was causing him to feel heartbroken and depressed. The feeling worsen as thoughts of Twilight and the others started to plague his mind as well. He started to uncontrolably imagine all of them leaving him for somepony better than him; somepony who could actually give them foals. It was then that Spike was given a horrible reminder, that he could never give them children. Who would want to be with somepony who couldn't give them that? He could hear them cursing his name and laughing as one by one they left him alone.

He heard a voice calling to him. It was feint, it sounded familiar. The voice continued to call out to him; getting louder and louder until he lifted up his head and saw Twilight looking down at him. "Spike, are you okay?!" she asked.

"Huh, w-what?" Spike said as he looked around. He quickly noticed that he was on the floor and his face was wet from the river of tears streaming from his eyes. He moved to sit up just as Twilight kneeled down to confront him. "What happened, Spike?" she asked. "It was all those pretzels wasn't it?! UGH! I knew letting you eat all those was a bad idea!" Twilight encased Spike within a purple aura and levitated him up from the floor. "I'm taking you to bed." she said as she started walking with him.

"W-Whoa, Twilight wait!" Spike protested, but his voice fell on deaf ears.

****************************

Spike groaned as he suddenly found himself within a blue void where he was surrounded by multiple projections of ponies in weird situations. "I'm must be in the dream realm." he said. "Dammit Twilight, you didn't have to force me to drink that whole bottle."

"What bottle?" came a familiar voice.

Spike looked up and saw Luna descending down in front of him. Spike moved to his feet, albeit a bit wobbly, to greet her. "Oh, Twilight thought I had a stomach ache and forced fed me some medicine." he explained. "As you can see, it knocked me out."

Luna chuckled. "Well, you can't say she doesn't look out for your best interest."

"Yeah, well, sometimes I wish she didn't." he replied. The two of the shared a chuckle before their attention was grabbed by a projection that showed Celestia standing in the middle of the throne room. Luna and Spike looked at each other and nodded before going through. The pair landed within the throne room right around the same time Atomsk appeared. The Dragon Lord released a powerful roar before blowing a large wave of fire at the princess. Celestia quickly put both hands up and created a barrier; blocking the attack.

"I told you before, Celestia, all of this happened because you failed to raise that dragon properly!" he said before releasing another wave.

Y-Your wrong!" she countered. "I raised Spike the best way I could!"

At that point, Goliath and Amethyst appeared on the side of Celestia. "Apparently, your best wasn't good enough." Goliath taunted.He couldn't even tell that Amethyst was taken, and because of that, got what he deserved."

"S-SHUT UP!" Celestia scream as she unleashed a wave of magic that caused the two of them to disappear. However, appearing right behind her, was none other that Stargazer. Celestia turned around only to have him grab her by the neck and hold her up.

"Like I told you, you should've left him alone to die on that rock you found him on." he said. "We all would've been better off for it."

*POW*

With no warning, Stargazer was sent flying as Celestia fell to her knees. She coughed for a while; catching her breath before looking and seeing Spike standing in front of her with the deadliest glare he could muster. Spike was in full protective mode now; ready to fight to defend his mate's honor. Stargazer stood up and looked at Spike with a smirk. "Speak of the devil." he said.

"I won't let you hurt her." he growled.

"Then i'll just hurt you instead." Stargazer replied before launching himself towards the dragon. At that point, Luna blasted the unicorn into the wall and moved to her sister's side.

"On your feet, sister." she said.

"L-Luna." she said as she slowly stood up. Right then, Amethyst and Goliath appeared right in front of Spike. This caused the dragon to have all kinds of negative flashbacks to that dreadful night, however, Spike was able to shake it off and focus on them. They weren't real, just images in Celestia's head, which means he can do this. With a deep breath, Spike blew the biggest wave of fire he could at them. Seeing them engulf within it before fading away was satisfying to Spike, however, that wouldn't last long as Atomsk appeared right behind him and grabbed him by the neck.

"SPIKE!" Celestia yelled as the Dragon Lord confronted her.

"Look at him, Celestia." he said. "Instead of being a fierce dragon, he's a weak scrawny lizard with no real future. He would've been better off with his own kind, at least with us, all of the horrible things that's happened to him would've been prevented."

"Y-You're wrong!" Spike objected. "She gave me a home when I was thrown out like trash, cared for me when others didn't, raised me when my so called birth parents refused to do so! So what if I was betrayed and attacked by your daughter and Goliath. She might not have been able to prevent it, but when I needed her she was right there for me! SHE'S DONE MORE FOR ME THAN YOU WILL EVER KNOW!" Spike's speech caused something to snap inside Celestia, and before anyone knew it, she standing right in front of Atomsk with a hand around his neck; her anger reaching levels she never thought possible.

"Let go of him." she growled. As she squeezed his neck, Atomsk was forced to release Spike so he could attempt to get away from Celestia's grasp; to no avail. Celestia's eyes started to change color to a black hue as her pupils started to glow yellow; her rainbow flowing mane and tail changing to resemble that of fire. It was like she was a whole different pony; one that shocked Spike. This was the second time he'd seen her like this the first being way back when he was small. He doesn't remember much of what happened that day; all he knew was that Celestia was beyond terrifying. For Celestia, this was the third time she'd taken on this form; with the most recent time being after Spike's attack when she melted the ice caps. A fiery aura began to surround her body as she and Atomsk rose into the air. "I may not know much about dragons, and I may not be the perfect mother to Spike, but I will NOT allow you to hurt him!" In one move, Celestia threw Atomsk across the throne room just as Stargazer appeared before her. She didn't give him a chance to do anything. With a snap of her fingers, Stargazer was engulfed in flames, just like he was at his execution, and fell to the floor writhing in pain. With him out of the way, the princess turned her attention towards the two dragons that caused Spike the most pain; Amethyst and Goliath. Spreading his wings, Goliath charged at Celestia who readied for a counter attack, however, that was plan came to a halt as Atomsk appeared right behind her and grabbed her.

Just as Goliath was about to attack, Spike came up on side of him full speed with a steel baseball bat forming his claws. Putting everything into his attack, Spike struck Goliath in the head; sending him flying off and giving Celestia enough time to break free from Atomsk's grasp. The Dragon Lord was quickly encased within a purple barrier by Luna then pulled away. Spike stood looking at Goliath with a satisfied smile on his face. "This may not be accurate, but call that payback." he said.

Having enough of this, Celestia used her magic to gather all three dragons together in one spot while preparing for a final attack. Looking up, Amethyst had one final thing to say. "You ponies are doing more harm than good." she growled. "You know damn well that no amount of pony magic can allow you to procreate with a dragon. What pony would want to be with someone who can't give them children?!" Celestia, unable to keep it in any longer, unleashed a powerful wave of fiery magic upon them; their screams of agony filled the entire room as they faded away.

Celestia reverted back to normal and turned her attention towards Spike. She immediately went over to him and held him tight; naturally burying his face between her boobs. His speech earlier turned out to be the reassurance she needed. Yeah, she still felt terrible for not preventing all of the bad things from happening to him, but at least he's here and he's okay. Moments later, the entire surrounding started to change and the trio found themselves standing in the blue dream void. "Oh, Spike, I love you." Celestia said as her embrace tighten. Spike could only give out a muffled response, but Celestia knew what he was saying. Luna walked up behind her sister and placed a hand on her shoulder; causing her to released the hold. Spike inhaled, then exhaled loudly. By now, he was used to having his face buried between those pillows of hers; knowing that it wasn't gonna stop, ever. Celestia won't be having any bad dreams for a while, but there was something in the back of her head that was telling her something else was wrong. She looked and Spike and realized that though he didn't show it, he was upset about something. What that was, she had no idea, but before she could say anything, Spike started to fade away.

"W-What's happening?" she asked with a worried tone.

"Fear not, sister, Spike is just waking up." Luna explained.

Celestia moved closer to Spike and planted a small peck on his forehead. "We'll see you soon, honey.....and.....we'll do something...."special".....together when we do." she said softly before he completely disappeared. After he was gone, Celestia turned towards Luna. "Spike, he appeared to upset about something." she said.

"I've noticed it too." Luna replied. "It would seem that you aren't the only one who needs help."

Chapter 21

Two days had passed, and Spike was helping Fluttershy with her animal friends at her cottage. "Thanks for helping me, Spike." she said. "It's shame Big Mac had to go on that delivery run with Granny Smith."

"Happy to help." Spike said as he fed Fluttershy's bird the last of their bird feed. He looked over at Fluttershy and couldn't help but noticed how tight those clothes she was wearing were on her. The yellow tank top and pink jean shorts were really showing off her figure; especially when she bent over to help her chickens into their coop. A dark blush appeared on Spike's face as he couldn't tear his eyes away from Fluttershy's thick plot. She had to have known he was staring at her because her tail was moved to the side and she moved her hips a bit causing her plot to move like jello. The yellow pegasus glanced behind her and caught Spike staring. Something inside her snapped, and she quickly rose to her feet; quickly turning around to face Spike with her hands behind her to cover her plot with a dark blush on her face.

"I-I'm sorry, Spike." she said. "N-Normally, Big Mac would feed the birds while I tend to the chickens and I'd always tease him like that. I guess i've gotten so use to doing it that my body just acted on it's own."

"Um...y-yeah...sure." Spike said while diverting his eyes. It was then Spike remembered that Fluttershy's heart belonged to Big Mac and that she had no desires towards him. Even more saddening, is that he had to let her go before Big Mac returned; he's promised himself that he'd do just that when Fluttershy asked for his help. Before sadness could truly set in, both Spike and Fluttershy froze up when they both heard a rumbling sound in the sky.

"I-Is that....t-thunder?" Fluttershy asked as her body started to tremble.

"Sounds like it." Spike answered. "I didn't even know it supposed to rain today."

"M-M-Maybe we should head inside." Fluttershy suggested nervously. Spike decided that it was for the best, after all, thunder was one of the many things Fluttershy was afraid of. The two quickly packed everything up, made sure all the animals were where they were supposed to be, and hurried inside the cottage just as the rain started to fall. It started off light, but quickly gained momentum over time.

"Whoa, it's really coming down." Spike said as he looked out the window. There was another rumble of thunder followed by a high pitch squeak that caught his attention. He left from the window and went over to Fluttershy who was curled up on the couch trembling in fear. The dragon took a seat next to her to which she immediately wrapped her arms around him and clung to him as if he was her lifeline. Spike chuckled and started to gently rock her back and forth; rubbing his hand up and down her back. As her embrace tighten up a bit, Spike slowly pulled her into his lap where she buried her face in his neck as she straddled him. Spike continued to rock her as her whimpering continued throughout the various waves of thunder. This wasn't enough to calm her down, so Spike tried another tactic. He rubbed his cheek against hers before planting a small peck on it. Fluttershy's eyes shot open and she pulled back to look at him. "Feeling better now?" he asked. Fluttershy was about to answer, but then another wave of thunder hit and she went right back clutching against him. It wasn't long before she felt something hard rubbing against her and it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what it was. Fluttershy's face became beet red as the slightest movement of her hips caused a tingling sensation to course through her. With her body now on autopilot, she slowly started to grind her hips against him. Spike groaned softly as Fluttershy whimpered.

It was gonna happen, and she knew it's gonna happen. It won't be long before she finds herself being thrusted into by Spike. Technically, she is his mate, but she's also in a relationship with somepony else; this was only a temporary thing between the two of them and Spike was going to eventually remove the mark he gave her. So what why was she feeling a bit upset? Was it because at the end of all of this, Spike would end up alone once again? Or was it that Spike would possibly want to keep everypony for himself; regardless if they have somepony or not? It couldn't be the latter cause he already released Pinkie, so it had to be the former. Spike has been through too much and for him to end up alone once again was just.......it wasn't fair. Fluttershy was pulled from her thoughts when Spike stood up with her in his arms and laid her down on the couch. Fluttershy, acting on instincts, spread her legs open to give Spike enough room to position himself right over her. Both faces were as red as apples as Spike slowly moved in and kissed his mate. Fluttershy quickly gave in and kissed him back; wrapping her arms around him and holding him close. As their make out session continued, Spike managed to slip his right claw underneath her top and grab ahold of her massive mound. Fluttershy released a soft humming sound as she squirmed under him; deepening the kiss by slowing moving her tongue to enter Spike's mouth. Spike started to play with it by swirling his tongue around hers while grinding his hips. Fluttershy continued to make nonstop muffled moans until Spike broke away from the kiss and lifted her top over her head; tossing it to the floor soon after.

"W-Wait, Spike." she panted. "L-Let's go to my room." Spike agreed and moved off Fluttershy; admiring how her massive breasts were threatening to break free from the imprisonment. As she got off the couch, she grabbed Spike's hand and led him upstairs to her room so they could continue on.

****************************

Time went by and the weather outside had really started to pick up. The clouds had darkened, the wind grew in strength, and the rain fell even harder, not to mention, the loud sounds of thunder, and blinding flashes of light. Whatever was going at Cloudsdale, they were sure going to get an earful from everypony when this was all over with. However, what was going on outside was the least of Fluttershy's worries as her bedroom was filled with her loud moans as Spike pounded into her; causes both her and the bed to shake with each movement. Gripping the sheets tightly, sealing her eyes shut, and gritting her teeth before releasing another wave of howls, Spike was really giving her the work around. He wanted her to feel every inch of him one more time before he releases her. Despite what he was feeling, it was the right thing to do. He couldn't do this to Big Mac or Fluttershy any longer.

"S-S-SPIKE, PLEASE, SLOW DOWN!" Fluttershy screamed. He didn't slow down. The sight of her perfect F cups bouncing freely was just too hypnotizing to look away. She moved her hand on top of them to block his view, but Spike pulled them away; holding her arms down as he continued. She let out a high pitched squeak as her back rose off the bed a bit once Spike hit a certain spot within her. "Sweet Celestia, he's almost as good as Big Mac....almost." she thought. "I.....better not tell him that. He's trying his best to make me feel good, and I don't wanna hurt his feelings." Fluttershy felt Spike release her arms then felt her chest being squeezed to oblivion. Spike couldn't take it anymore, he just had to play with those massive mammaries of hers one last time before he gave them up to a pony who deserved them. The pain in his chest increased the more he thought about it, but there was no stopping now; especially since he was starting to get close to the end, and judging by how tight her pussy was getting, she was too. Her inner walls closed in on him; tightening up as her breathing increased. Fluttershy wrapped her arms and legs around Spike and held him tight as she was starting to reach end. As she moaned his name over and over, Spike moved in closer to her neck where the mark he gave her was. The pain in his chest increased as he breathed over it; preparing to remove it. "OH CELESTIA, SPIKE, I'M GONNA CUM!" she moaned. With tears streaming down her face and one hard thrust from Spike, Fluttershy released a powerful scream as she came hard against him; her warm juices squirting out of her like a water fountain as her back once again rose from the bed.

At the same time, Spike's own orgasm hit just as hard; filling Fluttershy up as much as he could before taking a hard bite into her shoulder. The yellow pegasus' eyes shot open and her nails dug deep into Spike's back as she felt the pain of his teeth sinking into her flesh. The pair remained perfectly still like statues for an unknown amount of time before collapsing onto the bed. Breathing heavily, Spike slowly pulled out of Fluttershy and moved to lay next to her; both were now looking up at the ceiling. "G-Goodness, Spike." she breathed. "T-That was....." Fluttershy stopped mid sentence once she took a look at Spike. The dragon was just staring up at the ceiling with a river of tears streaming down his face. It was then she realized that the pain in her shoulder was Spike removing the mark. She was free, but why was he crying? Was this a side effect of removing the mark? She moved closer to Spike and pulled him in for a hug. It was then he completely broke down; clinging to her as if his life depended on it.

****************************

It was late in the evening when the weather died down, and Spike was in his bedroom at Twilight's Castle asleep while Fluttershy explained to everypony what happened. Fluttershy had called and told about Spike's condition and she rushed over; teleporting all three of them back to the castle. Twilight pulled out her cell phone and called up Starlight; hoping she could get Sunburst to get everypony in contact with his old teacher. There were a few ringtones before it went to voicemail. She tried a few more times, but got the same result. "Come on, Starlight, answer your phone." she said.

"TWILIGHT!" came Rarity's voice as she and the others barged in. "We came as soon as we got Fluttershy's message. Is Spike okay?!"

"He's fine." she reassured. "He's asleep in his room, but right now we need to get in touch with Sunburst's teacher and find out if she knows anything more about a dragon removing his mark. I'm trying call Starlight, but she's not answering. Maybe if I call Cadence." As Twilight walked off while dialing Cadence's number, Pinkie decided to head upstairs to Spike's room to check on him; leaving the others began to wonder just what was going. It quickly led up to them believing that they might've made things worse by allowing him to mark them, but what choice did they have? Sure, they could've gotten any other mare they knew, but considering everything that's happened, they felt it was best that those within their inner circle were involved. But even if they did managed to get other mares they knew to agree to it, the outcome would be the same. Spike would still have to release them by the end of his cycle, and this would still happen.

"Hey, guys, I just got off the phone with Cadence, and she's gonna relay the message to Sunburst once she sees him and........" Twilight stopped mid sentence as a feeling of dread started to wash over her.

"Twilight, what is it?" asked Rainbow.

"I feel a disturbance in the force." she answered.

*BOOOOOM*

There was a loud explosion followed by debris flying everywhere. Everypony was blown away by the force, and when the dust settled, there stood in the middle of it all, an alicorn princess with a yellow glowing light surrounding her body.

"WHERE'S MY BABY!" she roared.
