Spike's Mates
Chapter 15
Previous Chapter Next ChapterStanding 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.
