"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.
