Chapter 1: The Dragon Who Smiled


The Dragon Who Smiled

Pinkie open her eyes to see only darkness with only the light from the ceiling above her being the only light source. She tries to move her forelegs but they didn’t move. Looking down she found that she was bound to a wooden chair. The rope squeezes tightly against her pink coat. She looked a little worried as she tries to tug the ropes.

“Hello? Anypony?” she called out.

There was nothing.

“Okay Rainbow Dash, if this is one of your pranks then you got me. what now are you going to mess with me?” she called out, hoping this was just a little joke.

Suddenly there was a small chuckling in the darkness as that gave her Goosebumps “R-Rainbow Dash?” The hyperactive party pony aasksas she was starting to get scared. Then more chuckles came from the darkness. “G-Girls. . .this isn’t funny I’m starting to get scared.”

“Oh don’t be scared Pinkie.” A voice rang through the darkness. Slowly the soft sounds of feet touching the cold stone floor could be heard. “After all we’re the best friends, right?” Out of the shadows came out a small purple and green dragon. However, something was off.

He wore what looks like a ringmaster at a circus with a top hat that covers his eyes and a long jacket that touched the ground as it had the colors of dark red and black. What disturbed Pinkie was the smiled that was plaster on his face. Pinkie knows smiles. She was the embodiment of laughter after all and this smile look bloody and extra sharp more than an average dragon.

It was a smile she wished she had never seen.

“Spike? Is that you?”

“That my name...well it uses to be.” He said in a cheery tone. “Unless there’s another Spike you know that is a dragon and wears a stylish get up like me.” The drake then poses in front of Pinkie, which she saw three diamonds on the back of the coat. There were a few cheers from the darkness a company with a few flashes from cameras. He then raises his hand which the cheering died down. “Anyway Pinkie I. Well me and my friends invited you to a very special party.” At the word ‘party’ a table appear in front of them as he sat on a stool and pull out some cards on it with some pictures on them.

“You like stories don't you Pinkie?” She didn't answer. “Good me too. Let's start with a good one.” He please a card down that had a picture of him and pinkie on is smiling.

“It all started a few months ago”


There were reports of ponies suddenly disappearing all over Equestria. It first started with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Those two were bullies and very mean to others. Those two would tease anypony if they didn’t meet their standards or have that butt tattoo you ponies called a cutie mark. After. . . I believe was Diamond party that the fillies in question didn’t show up for school the next day. Nor the day after that and so on and so forth

So there parents organizer a search party for the two and after hearing party Pinkie offer cupcakes to everypony who went looking for the two. But after I tasted them something seems off about them. Nopony notice but the taste seems bloody? I guess because I’m an apex predator that I would notice it. Sadly I did but shrug it off.

After two weeks of searching which got every town and city looking for them, even some of the royal guard, Celestia calls it off and announce that Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon were dead. Which of cause shock The Rich and Silver families to no end. They eventually learn to accept that there only children are dead and won’t be coming back. So we gave them a funeral. Place their photos in the corner of the last known location where the two was seen which was Sugar Cubed Corner and leave it at that.

A month went by and another filly went missing. This time it was Twist, Apple Bloom's old friend. Same thing like Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. There was a search party, Pinkie offers every pony cupcakes, which still tasted off, only with a hint of peppermint. Now here where it gets interesting. Because this is the second time this happens and this is the third filly to be missing. the grown-up was scared as hell to leave their children out. Twilight, of course, was worry about me, but no pony was as worried as Princess Celestia.

I didn’t know what happened in Ponyville for the next two weeks since I was in Canterlot under heavy protection. I mean I couldn’t even go to donut joes without being escorted by at least five guards.

Through that time I knew my mom would protect me to no end but I had a nervous feeling that there was something out there watching me, wanting me, waiting for me or the guards to slip up.

The next pony to gone missing wasn’t a pony at all but a griffon. Rainbow Dash’s friend Gilda came to visit our humble town. After the party, no pony had seen her again. We thought she flew away at night.

Ponies start to get scared as some decided to move out. Let see. I remember Octavia and Vinyl moving, as well as Button Mash, and his mom. There was also another ponies who I can’t remember their names.

After a few more weeks and Discord defeat, Rainbow Dash went missing. The girls panicked especially Scootaloo as they fear their rainbow friend would share the fate like the others and they notice you, Pinkie wasn't around so they decided to split up as Twilight offer to find Pinkie but like a loyal assistant I offer. Of course, she refused to say it was way too dangerous to go along but I wanted to help my friend too so she said yes and I was off to Sugar Cube Corner. I was lucky mom didn’t catch wind of this or I’ll never leave the castle.

I would say that was the worst thing I did. No scratch that it was the worst thing I did but I never regret it. I went into Sugar Cube Corner to find that it was empty strangely.

“Hello?” I asked looking around the store. It smelled like always, pasty treats but I hear a cling of metal and a scream coming down the basement as I slowly go to the banging. I should have run but something was telling me to go to it.

I crack up the trap door to the basement slowly and walk downstairs. As I got downstairs the screams got louder as some pony was being tortured.

I start to smell the blood in the air, that sweet scent that makes me smile to this day like those cupcakes but it got better as I look into the room as I see Pinkie opening Mr. Cake chest showing his organ to his wife look on in horror, shock, and fear. I did too as I watch her take out lungs and guts and just before she can grab his Heart I knock over a tray which held some pretty sharp and dangerous objects like a chainsaw. . .rummm ruummm.

Pinkie look at me with that same smile that got on my handsome face as her bright blue eyes stared at me. “Oh, Spiky Wiky is so nice for you to come and visit the party. I was about to finish Mr. Cake here but I can throw a second one at the same time.” She said as she grabs a bone saw and gots closer to me with the sharp object.

I try to run back since my fight or flight response kicked in, but she hits a button to shut the door and lock it. Now I've locked in the basement with a pink psychopath a now pregnant widow and a dead stallion. Oh, right I forgot to mention that Mrs. Cake was five months pregnant.

“Hiya Spike! Ah see ya found Pinkie private party room.” A voice called out. Her country tone was all I needed to know. I turn my head and seen Apple Bloom with a creepy smile like Pinke. She was so cute covered in blood on her as she holds a bucket with a pony head in it. “Did ya eat the cupcake ah sent ya?” The filly asked in excitement hopping up and down like she was on a sugar rush. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was. That filly really knows how to put it away.

Just like Pinkie.

And before I gave my answer the cute red mane filly showed me her butt tattoo. And I don’t care if it’s called a cutie mark it still a butt tattoo. A nice butt tattoo as well. Now, where was I. . .oh yes.

Her butt tattoo was a potion with an apple covered in and a green mist with a skull on it coming from the top. If you didn’t guess as to what it means, then sucks to be you.

“Ah got ma cutie mark while making some chemical in Zecora’s hut. . .before her number came up.” Apple Bloom spoke. Oh and no pony mention about a missing Zebra that lives in the Everfree. Kind of racist if you asked me. “So after we try to get her to smile more me and Pinkie turn her into a cupcake.” As Apple Bloom explain as she moved some curtains to show Mrs. Cake was shaking her head. Tears rain down her face. Then Pinkie turns on the lights. It was dim but it was bright enough to make out the room.

Hehe, the look on my face was priceless when I first saw the room. I think Bloomy took a picture of that and hang it somewhere?
. . .

“Oh, it was destroyed in the other world? Shame, and here I thought Pinkie would like it. Back to the story.

The look of horror couldn’t hold more meaning to it. On the back wall somepony I’m guessing Pinkie wrote “life is a party” in blood. To the left side of said wall, a table with a spread of rotten cupcakes with the carved heads of Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Peppermint Twist. Maggots crawling from their eye socket, noses, and mouths. On the wall above that the bodies of Gilda and Zecora, there limbs nailed from the wall. Their eyes remove from there socket, and inside for all to see. Next, to the table, Mrs. Cake was bond was an away of potions as well as tools seen from a workshop, hammers, saws including a chainsaw, nails, a blowpipe with a bunch of darts.

Hey, this is Apple Bloom’s table so don’t ask.

And I thank Distortion that I haven’t had any water, juice, or soda cause this would be the part where I would have wet myself in fear. Or empty my stomach.

. . .

Ok ok I indeed puke.

. . .

Everyone pukes when death leaves it things behind. Expected for Ember cause she’s used it. . .no offense.

. . .

Ok. Not only I have two ponies who are loco in the cocoa. . .no wait scratch that, Insane but smiling at me with one holding a bone saw. I don’t know how tough my scales are but I’m pretty sure that bone saw wouldn’t do much to my scales. Well, the purple scales anyway. I felt the sharp ridge edges of the saw press against my neck, with enough force to cut through my green scales and will a bit of my blood begin tickle down the cut area. “You’re not going to ruin this party and tell anypony about this, are you, Spike?” Pinkie asks, that smile now replace with an icy frown. If I said ‘if I escape’ which will not happen by the way I’m sure there would kill me, bake me into a cupcake, or in Apple Bloom’s case make a sweater out of me and wear me like a dress all while getting off knowing that her Spiky Wiky is forever hers.

Hey, we all have fetishes.

. . .

“Well as much as I would enjoy that you have to ask Bloomy.”

. . .

. . .

Well, I’m going to enjoy this afterparty we’re done.

Anyway, I only shook my head. That when that creepy smile appear on Pinkie face again

“Good now you be a good drake and wait here. Pinkie Pie has something special for you!” And with that, the saw was removed from the neck and trotted over to Apple Bloom table. When she returned she had a bottle with a pink liquid that was glowing. Now, this is where things get interesting. And not because I had no other choice. Ok, I did. Ether drink this or have Apple Bloom wear me like a coat. So I choose to drink the liquid much to Apple Bloom’s delight.

For some reason, the liquid tasted like cotton candy but with a little hint of that strong bitter taste, you find in medicine. I only wanted to take a sip but Pinkie kept that bottle up intending me to drink it all. After the final gulp, I drop on my knees coughing. Mrs. Cake looked at me worry, thinking that they poison me, and she was next along with her unborn foals.

Soon my whole world was changed as my head was filled with new things and what this number thing was and I was happy. Like being invited to one of Pinkie’s party. Hanging out with Shining Armor, Cadence, Aunty Luna, Mom and Twilight. Pulling funny pranks on Blueblood and all just being with my friends. I was happy to be part of it. It was a shame Mrs. Cake didn't smile but we had others that did soon.

I won't go into too many details on what happen to her since you care for the twins, and I don’t want you to puke on the floor, the smell alone is bad, but let's just say they made good candles for their parent's cupcakes.

Oh before I forget that potion I drink we call it ‘the smile potion’, and here are some of the side effects. State of happiness, increased pain tolerances, and insanity.

Soon throughout the months' Pinkie, Apple Bloom and I keep up with our party's sadly it had to be somewhere else since and I blame Pinkie Pie for this idiotic idea Twilight and Shining Armor found out when we ‘try’ to foalnap mom and Aunty Luna.

When we were found, the three of us escape, well ok me and Apple Bloom escape, Pinkie being an idiot taunt the royal guard who used their magic to stun her.

So much for her Pinkie Sense.

. . .

I didn’t flip them the bird Bloomy. I simply patted my rump and told them off.

Pinkie was questioned for her crimes and the whereabouts Apple Bloom and myself, as well as the missing bodies but she didn't talk. She just smiles. Even when she was beheaded for her crimes, she kept smiling. And her last words were that “as long as ponies. . .no creatures like her are out there in this world we keep making them smile.” Now it was up to me and Apple Bloom to make the world smile.

As we went around Equestria, and it took a few years, a few foalnappings, as well as destroying an empire made entirely out of crystal, we started to grow. Not by much of cause. A few ponies, one defected Changeling, and a dragon princess.

How I met them you may ask? Well, first the changeling. Since Apple Bloom and I are the most wanted and feared creatures throughout the land that we ‘may’ had crash Shining Armor and Cadence’s wedding. Well, The Changeling did that, we help by providing information to them, like guard’s shifts and stuff like that.

That plan backfired sadly and we didn't have the indents for ‘the smiled potion’ to give our new friends and was defeated by the food there eat. It was funny at first until she tries to blast me and Apple Bloom. Now there something I didn’t know about the potion Apple Bloom failed to tell me. And don’t know if it affects all dragons and I’m getting there with the dragon princess, now back with this changeling.

Apparently upon attacking a dragon treasure or mate and clutch the said dragon will enter into a state of rage, added that with the fact that Apple Bloom’s potion suppresses all other sad emotions which include anger and you have a pretty piss off a dragon. And guess who was the unlucky one to receive the rage of a dragon.

That right.

The bug queen who was now realizing the mistaken attack my treasure. I lung at her and slash at her neck before could put up a shield. “HOW DARE YOU ATTACK MY SPECIAL FRIEND” I scream out while lashing out the queen’s neck, the green blood splat left and right. I kept lashing out until her head wasn’t connected to her body.

And then I calm down.

I looked around the changelings were shivering while Apple Bloom stood there, hearts in her eyes but she also wore that beautiful smile I loved. After the whole lashing out on there queen and was now scared to even talk to me nor Bloomly. We left the changeling hive without stuff until one of those insects follow us. To where. Well, we had a hidden party room in the White-Tailed woods.

After a few weeks as we had a new friend named Torax, at first he seems a bit wimpy for my taste but he lived his whole life alone and sad since I um killed his mom and every other ling. . .is that it? Thorax. Is it everyling?

. . .

Thorax said yes.

Anyway since the changelings are big meanies to him, and we didn't share his taste for stealing love from others so Bloomy whipped him up a smile potion and we show him the ropes. He tricks ponies by using his shapeshifting ability to bring smiles to his kind and well those who refuse would lean that’s not the best choice.

Like his brother that wanted our heads since I did kill their queen but we always got a head start as we either make them smiled or had a party with them and let me tell you Thorax just loved it when he uses a spoon to take his brother's eyes out. Then pour a bottle of bug spray down his throat, while letting the other watch.

Thanks, Distortion that I can breathe fire since I burned some of them that refuse to smile. Bloomy made a giant bug zapper which some of the bugs flew it.

After our little party event, the three of us headed back to our hideout to figure out what to do next to make everypony smile.


“You still with us Pinkie?” Spike asked taking another card from his deck and placing it in front of the bound pink pony who was just staring at the crazy dragon. “I mean it fine if you’re not. We just inject you with something that will keep you awake.”

A claw gentle pat the Pinkie’s right cheek. “You’re not getting sleepy are you?”

Pinkie only shook her head. With a snap of a claw, a syringe filled with a clear liquid in it floated over to him, cover in a green magical aura. “Thanks, Thorax.” Spike smile and look at the needle placing the tip mere inches in front of her eye. “I bet you want to know what this is huh?” Asked the dragon. “Well, it to keep you awake silly.” And with that, he pulled the needle away from the eyes of the pink mare. With a quick motion, the crazed dragon jam the said needle right into her chest where her heart was, much to Pinkie horror. Once the needle had penetrated the organ he presses down letting the clear liquid. The surge of adrenaline quickly made it presence known to the pink mare.

Pinkie wanted to move, to break out and rush out of wherever she was being held. The rope she was being held prove to be stronger only to tighten whenever she tried to move. “Now now we wouldn’t want you to leave when I’m not done yet with my story. You don’t want to be a party pooper right?” The smile the dragon had soon turn into a frown. “You really don’t want to know what we do to party poopers.” Pinkie despite her best effect stop hearing the cold dark tone of the dragon.

“Good. Now, where was I? Oh yes.”


The next month I hear that there was this town that had equally and no cute marks and got me interested. So I took Bloomy and Thorax with me to do a bit of investigating. Thorax had transformed into a grey unicorn with a glass blow as his butt tattoo. Those naming himself Glass Blower. Hehehehehehehehehehehehe.
. . .

Oh come now Thorax it was funny then and it funny now.

. . .

Oh don’t kill the mood bug boy.

Anyway we arrive at the town to meet the ponies with those creepy smiles. And I know where we’re be living next in cause somepony or ling mess up, but I digress. Upon seeing ‘puff’ Glass Blower and Bloomy butt tattoo, and a random baby dragon they made a beeline towards us and started to stare at Thorax and Bloomy flank, much to my announces. That when we meet Starlight Glimmer the cult leader . . .I mean mayor of Our Town.

Our Town. . . couldn’t you come up with a better name then that? Like Equilibrium or Equalizer. I like Equalizer.

. . .

Didn’t think about it? You were the mastermind behind that whole cult thing, and you created that spell to take away a pony butt tattoo why didn’t you name the town?

. . .

Oh, I sure you was busy sweetie.

Now back to the story. . .Starlight knew who we were, well me and Bloomy, but didn’t know Thorax until much later. To make a long story short, Thorax shows off his true bug form to the ponies at Our Town. Surprisingly nopony was scared. Other then that one pony that insulted Thoax who we. . .let just said was hanging by a tree with rats clawing, and chewing there way out of his gut. Haha, that was funny.

. . .

It's not my fault that you had rats roaming about her bland muffin shop. Hell, not even the rats wanted her muffins.

. . .

Just because you want to make everypony equal doesn't mean the food has to taste bland.

. . .

I know we’re friends and all but you really have weird taste when it comes to food.

. . .

. . .

Thank you Thorax and Bloomy.

. . .

Ok ok, I’ll get back to the story. Calm your scales.

So after the introduction and a song they came up with, we begin to question them until we and by we I mean Bloomy pointed out that all of the ponies butt tattoo was equal signs. And Starlight wanted to show us that all cutie marks were bad and evil. Bloomy and Starlight kind of had an argument which she locked up in a room.

A few hours went by with a speaker kept repeating that we’re all equal. Bloomy Thorax and I were planning an escape until the door open with a pegasus mare being pushed in. Apparently, she wanted her original butt tattoo back but Starlight wasn’t having it.

So after a little convincing,, we agree that Bloom and Night Glider accept there ways. Once we’re out, our plan would commence. While we were talking to Starlight, Thorax manages to sneak away and poison the town water supply with our ‘smile potion’. Tho Starlight was doing a great job at it.

Later that night Bloom find out about our little cult leader secret, and that was she still had her original butt tattoo. So we did what any ‘good’ ponies, changeling, and dragon would do. Foalnap her. To where I believe it was some cave by the town. So we foalnap Starlight, sorry about that, and poison the water supply.

. . .

Aww. Anyway, we tied her up and offer her a proposal. We don’t tell the townsponies about this little secret if you accept our way, and help up spread joy throughout Equestria. Though she was a bit a party pooper so we had to use other ways to make her smile. We used razor blades and whips and we even remove her butt tattoo. In the end, she gave in, and smile. So we stitched it back up and now she helps us train our happy unicorns with complex magic to get around more secure places like armory's and supplies and we even found new things to use in our party room. She even got back together with her first friend A unicorn stallion name Sunburst. Sadly he was a party pooper and well. He did taste good in a cupcake. Tho did you have to make it so that it was quick?”

. . .

Sure I know you can bring him back even to some of us would love to hear him scream.

. . .

We can’t. We’re in a different universe remember, and ours were destroyed, besides that, ,I don’t think Distortion would like it if we mess with this timeline with that fox roaming about.

. . .

You can if you think you can get pass his magic.

. . .

I know you’re powerful Star but think about it. He’s a god. And not just any god, but one of the gods of fate. You have to work with Phantom, and get those stones from the fate god, and his siblings.

. . .

Back to the story.

Another year went. We had taken out a creature that goes by the name of Lord Tirek by gouging his eyes out with an ice pick with some salt in it, then pouring some kind of acid down the creature throat, which turn his stomach into goo. Man, that was funny seeing how he scream out. ‘I’m melting.’ After we killed that creature me, Starlight and Thorax went to the dragon lands. Bloomy stood behind and gather ingredients for our master plan.

Why are we going to the dragon lands you may ask. Well, believe it or not, Bloomy needed the seven different color dragon scales to boots the effect of smile potion. Of cause I offer mine so she already had purple so all we need now is blue, yellow, green, red, orange, and pink. All the colors of the rainbow. That and I was being summoned by the dragon lord which was really uncomfortable. I hate being itchy. As we got there I saw an old friend...Garble.

A bit of a meany but we’ll take care of that later.

We meet all sure of dragons difference size and color, more than enough for Bloomy ingredient. That when we met a dragon about the size of the mountain named Torch and he was the current dragon lord and beside him a blue dragoness Ember I have to tell you she was a looker. Hell, I would say she’s cute.

. . .

Yes Bloomy, you’re cute, everyone in this room can agree.

. . .

Thank you Bloomy.

. . .

Ok ok ok we don’t need you or the others fantasizing about my scepter.

Now back to the dragon. Apparently, dragons do have laws one states that the current dragon lord had to step down and give control to a worthy dragon after an xxxx amount of years. I hear the idiotic ideas of the dragons like stealing pillows, making burps greetings, tho that doesn't sound like a bad idea and even flood the land with lava to make a serving paradise for dragons... actually that does sound fun and gave me an idea for the party room.

Hey, Ember when we’re done and if Iron Drake is done taking over this version of the dragon lands have him flood...hmm some pony city with lava so we can have an all dragon lava party.

. . .

Yes, Bloomy I see if Distortion or Phantom can turn you into a dragon.

. . .

. . .

Ok ok, first Thorax you can change into a dragon at will. So you’ll be able to stand lava as long you’re in the form. And Starlight there’s a book in a library that would teach you transformation magic. And don’t you dare leave to search for it. We still have to play with Pinkie.

. . .

Good now back to the story.

I needed that staff but even with my party army we currently have we weren’t strong enough to take on one mutable dragon, much fewer hundreds. The big dragon pulled out a scepter with a red crystal on it from his massive crown. He said to get it and you lead all of the dragons in the land. And toss it to a volcano far from the mainland.

At first, I had some trouble getting there because you know. . .no wings. But on my way to this island, I saw one dragon fall in the water. Normally I would laugh at that but I saw a blue coming up from the water. Being a curious little dragon that I’m, I went to investigate by diving in grabbing the dragon despite its heavy armor and three times bigger than me and bring the armored dragon to the shore. Surprise surprise it turned out to be Ember. Apparently, she wanted the scepter to prove to her dad that she can be a leader. I understand that since she wanted to be apart of the gauntlet of fire. So this gave me an idea.

We help each other until we find the scepter. Starlight and Thorax who were hiding like the idea. Ember didn’t know how they got there but shrug it off. I told them to wait back with Torch and ask him something about the dragon laws and customs. So we took flight she flew I gave her directions and anything that was flying towards us.

When we got to the cave and walked around dodging traps, and pitfalls hoping to find the scepter. But surprise surprise big meany Garble was there waiting for us. We both attack the red dragon with me getting a few of his scales and using my dragon magic to sent them back to Bloomy. Garble being the dumbass he tossed me over the edge but close to the prize I seek. I grab on one of the stalagmites that cling to a bridge and climb up.

While both Ember and Garble were fighting, I grab the scepter and order the fighting to stop.

I was the new dragon lord, and my first order was for Garble was to gather five scales, one pink, orange, yellow, blue, and green. And bring them to a pony name Apple Bloom in the Everfree Forest. And after that to hug every dragon he passes with a smile.

My second order, to take me to the former dragon lord and show him that a weak baby dragon is now the new lord of dragons.

. . .

Yes, Ember. I know there are three Spikes with the title dragon lord. And there many more in the multiverse. He,ll you even married a few of them.

. . .

Aww, you look so cute when you blush.

. . .

Calm down we don’t need you to burn the place up. You even making Bloomy cry.

. . .

Ok, ok new rule no pony, changeling, or dragon should call Ember cute.

. . .

Only me.

. . .

Hehe.

Now with the dragons under my control,l I went back to Torch who was in complete shock that I a baby dragon was now the dragon lord.

A couple of years. . .well three years went by. Thanks to the intel I gather from Starlight, and Thorax we learned that Twilight and her friends had been snooping around our little in Our Town and wrack one of our manufacturers. So in response, a few dragons hook on the smile potion tied up the remaining Apple clan in Ponyville who were Applejack, and Bloomy’s big brother Big Macintosh and set fire Apple Bloom old home Sweet Apple Arcs on fire with the two tied up. Oh and we didn’t forget about Granny Smith so we left her in a burning house along with there dog.

And the dragons made sure that no clouds reach Sweet Apple Arcs, and since Rainbow was now a waste in some forest somewhere, no pony couldn’t get to them. Oh, but it gets better. Thorax, and Starlight manger to foalnap Rarity and Fluttershy.

Oh boy, where to start. Let start with Fluttershy.

Fluttershy woke up in our little party room surrounded by dragons, the one creatures that she fears. Only there was my size. However, I knew she told off one many time her size. As expected she fainted upon seeing me, but we weren’t going to have any of that. While we have her we also caught ourselves a little white bunny rabbit who was also Fluttershy’s pet, Angel. Upon hearing him squeal for his owner her eyes open.

“Well, Fluttershy,” I said in a cold but cheerful smile. “I know you love animals but you’re also biased when it came to dragons. You like baby dragons but scared when they grow up.” The baby dragons frown upon hearing this.

“Oh, and they can talk by the way so. What do you say Shy?” I look at the dragons, all different colors of a dark rainbow And most of them were even bigger than me. I said an um hoof. . .foot bigger than me. I shrug and left the room, leaving a bond Fluttershy and her bunny to be entertainment for our friends. The only thing I heard was a scream, then muffled whimpers. Do with that information as you please.

I went to the other party room where a white unicorn and her sister was being held. My first love who was bond on a table while her sister was bound to a pole. When she woke up the first thing she saw was me, with that creepy smile of mine.

And she screamed.

That banshee-like scream of her woken up her sister, asking her to keep it down. Upon realizing five minutes, yes I check that she was bond she screams as well. Lucky for Bloomy she stuffs her mouth with a cloth. Before she could say anything, I sent my claw across her cheek drawing blood. “Will you shut up,” I scream holding my ear fins. “I swear to a higher being that the first thing I cut off is your tongue if you open your mouth,” I said hissing.

“Now then I just wanted to ask you something, and be honest.” I pull out a knife and place it on top of her chest where her heart lay. Slowly tracing the sharp cutting tool against white mare’s chest. Sweetie Belle try to cry out wanting me to stop, but I can only hear muffles. “Here the question. Have you ever like me?” That is the question I wanted to asked the most. After all, I did save her miserable life from the Diamond Dogs.

Well, try.

I also been her pincushion for a while, as well as helping her around her shop.

Often.

Also, the question also made the amber color eyes of Bloomy stared at me, then Rarity. Of cause I love Bloomy with all my heart. But this was something to get off my chest.

“Well? Yes or no?” I asked pressing the tip of the knife against her chest with just enough pleasure not to pierce her skin.

And then she shook her head. Of cause, she never likes me like me. I was a dragon and she was some wannabe high Canterlot noble. And don’t think I didn’t see Bloomy Yesing herself.

Cause I did.

. . .

Hey, I completely understand, I would do that same thing if I was in your hooves.

“Aww, that too bad cause I had a crush on you when we first came to Ponyville.” I pull the sharp knife off her chest and sigh. “But that ok because for one. I’m not supposed to tell anypony this but surprise surprise I’m Celestia adopted son. Meaning I was a prince this whole time. Before you ask. I want you to really think about it. Would Celestia be dumb enough to entrust a six-year-old filly whose sole purpose was to please her teacher a hatched dragon?” I waited for a few seconds for somepony . “The answer is no.”

“You love your dresses, you love your sister, am I right?” I asked walking over to the bond Sweetie Belle who was beginning to struggle. “Let see since she doesn’t have her butt tattoo we can’t make a dress out of her. What do you think Bloomy?”

“Hmm ah can see Sweetie in one of meh dresses. She’ll go well with Silver Spoon and Diamond since her coat is white. . .That also means ah have to find someone with a black coat too. Ah hell Ah think we’ll just turn her into a cake.” Bloomy smile.

“Spike, Apple Bloom what has gotten into you too? I remember both of you was Sweet and innocent. Not monsters going around murdering ponies, and turning them into cupcakes.” Rarity pleaded. Mostly to ether keep herself alive, or her sister.

“Well kinda. I don’t know about Bloomy here but I would mostly be treated as a monster if Twilight didn’t hatch and help raise me. Hell, I was more like a slave to both you and Twilight. Spike take a note, Spike can you this, Oh Spike clean this, Spike watch over the library while I and the girls have a spa day. Oh like not forget Spike I need a pincushion.” At that I pungle the knife I was holding into Rarity's foreleg, making sure to avoid the vail spots. I wouldn’t want our fun to so soon.

I also though knives were boring so I went out of the room, to gather some well-made toys from the basement.

. . . ?

Starlight escape route? You know the one in the bedroom that leads to the basement.

. . .

I believe you have seen it before Bloomy. When we’re after Starlight.

. . .

. . .!

. . .!?

TMI Bloomy TMI.

Anyway, I came back with a couple of a half an inch point rods. About ten in total. And I use each of them and poke them thought Rarity’s body, with I believe only two hitting her vail organs. Well, I did blow flames into the iron bars and stick it in her using the metal to cauterize the wound. She did, however, manage to hurt my eardrums with how loud she screamed.

We kind of wanted to try something, well Bloom did. So this what I did. I left the room, once more, and came back with a tea set. A couple of cupcakes, tea, cake, and a cavern of Chickenloo I mean Scootaloo head only with the eyes gorges out with a couple of candles inside.

I don’t know what was funnier? The fact she screams or the fact she wet herself.

. . .

Your right Bloomy, her wetting herself was funny. Anyway, We force feed the cupcake, and cakes that were made out of Scootaloo when we foalnap her. The look on her face when we told her that she was eating her friend. Sadly she pukes it out which piss Bloomy off. She well forces her to drink the tea which was in the form of The smile potion. Well, Bloomy did overdose her and end up having a major heart attack, as well as a migraine where her ears bleed.

. . .

I know she was being rude to Scoots Bloomy but you didn’t have to you know, overdo it.”

. . .

She would be a great Allie. . .Hey, let try to get both Sweetie and Scootaloo to join us after our party here.

. . .

Oh right right right, Ignition would kill us if we try to take his Sweetie Belle. So Scootaloo then?

. . .

Sounds like a plan to me.

Anyway, after that, we kinda left. Leaving Rarity to moran for her sister with spiked rods in her body. Our next target was Twilight.

To make a long story short we fond Twilight along with her mother and father hiding away in the caves underneath the castle three weeks later. So we had one of the most epic party. The party of all parties, and in our excitements, we chop up Twilight and her family into little pieces, well her mother and father, I made her out of a coat so we can be together forever.

. . .?

I have it stored somewhere special.

So with Twilight out of the way me and my ‘friends’ march up to Canterlot to throw the biggest, worst party in all of Equestria. The moment we got there, everypony decided to be a party pooper so we. . .took care of them by burning their homes, and well-killing foals parents in front of them and injecting them with a new type of smiles that Bloomy created with the help of some of the weather pegasus only in gas form.

The guard before us was powerless against us. You should have had seen Shining Armor’s face when I show him the heads of his sister and parents. The look on shock and horror only made my guys laugh. Sady, he rushes at us, more towards my way, but since I’m the youngest and most dangerous dragon lord, well a bunch of house size dragon pounce holding down the captain. Shining lite up his horn and erected a shield pushing some of the dragons back but it was futile and the dragons ended up playing tug of war with him as the rope which sadly tore him in half and ruins the insides needed to make cupcakes.

Aunty Luna and Mom was expecting us in the garden. Me, Bloomy, Thorax, and Starlight. The garden was as beautiful as I remember it. Exotic Flowers, lush green grass, broken statues included Discord. And if you’re wondering yes Ember and Starlight came to Equestria and destroy Discord statue ending the good life. Anyway, she and Luna were sitting on a neat blanket. On it was an assortment of cakes and tea.

“Spike,” Luna called out, but we knew there was a hint of anger and disappointment. We knew she will be another party pooper. “It been a while little drake. And I see you brought some friends.” Hmm she seems to drop the old ponyish. That’s newly granted I haven’t seen her in for so long.

“Likewise aunty,” I said holding the same smile I had for years. “I like you Ember.” The blue dragoness waves awkwardly and grin. She wore her dragon armor from the Gauntlet of Fire “Thorax.” The black changeling smile and wave only making the horn of the princesses glow. “Starlight,” I called only for her to quickly light up her horn and cast a spell to make a barrier over Thorax, and protected him. “And my girlfriend Bloomy.”

. . .

You can blush all you want Bloomy. You and I are together. Anyway, Mom wanted to smile and be happy but couldn’t. She then floated a glass in her magic over to me and Bloomy. “I’m happy for you.” She said in the motherly tone I also miss.

“Glad you’re!” I said in a cheery tone.

“And it so nice to meet ya princesses, to be fair Ah was quite surprised that Spike here was ya son.” Celestia gave me a stern look, only for me to chuckle and rub the back of my head. To be fair I sort of told Pinkie and Bloomy this info when we try to foal nap Celestia and Luna.

“I been meaning to ask this for sometime Spike.” Celestia begin “Why? Why go with a psychopath like Pinkamena Dina Pie, commit those hundreds and gruesome murders?”

“I always wonder that myself? I mean when I find Pinkie Pie torturing Mr. and Mrs. Cake, I was scared that I might be like the cakes, only for Bloomy here to wear me like a coat.” I stated to drank the tea cause I know they poison it. How I know. . .cause we use the same trick all the time when foalnapping some pony. “Then I came to realize that no matter how much you help anyone there will always be someone miserable. There will be sadness in the world no matter if we help them or not. Pinkie wanted to change that.” I said smiling while the creatures behind me clap their hands.

“What has Pinkie done to you my son?” Ask Celestia, tears sliding down her cheek.

“This isn’t the way to make others happy. Torturing them, murdering them and then . . .eating them.” Luna screams out.

“Oh , we believe it is” I rose from my seat. “Life itself is a party. You never know who’s been there, enemy or friend. And those who like to crash the party, and we know how to deal with ponies who like to crash parties.” Just then water begins to fall from the skies. The weather ponies sure did take their time in getting here. “Oh and I already know you two had the cake and tea poison,” I said knocking over the cups with my foot knocking it over. I walk over to the princesses with a smile on my face.

There horns glow and pointed at me. There were ready to blast me, Bloomy, Thorax, Starlight, and Ember. But then laughter. The two princesses, laughing and smiling.

Soon we all laugh.

Now a few weeks ago Starlight, Bloomy me and Thorax sneak into the weather factory and added the Smile Potion into the factory water supply. As well as the schedule for which town or city gets rain. So we added a bunch of the smile potion into the tanks, and wait.

Guess who turn it was to get rain. That’s right, Canterlot. With both aunty Luna and mom under the effect I wrap my claws around mom’s neck while she was still laughing told her I love her and then slit her throat with my claw, staining mom own blood. Aunty Luna didn’t like it, but we meaning Starlight quickly use one of her spells to change Luna’s butt tattoo into an equal sign. And that where Ember dug her claws into her heart and ripping it out from her chest.

We made. . .well, I skin them and made sweaters so they can be with me forever but then again there was destroyed when our world went kaboom.

With Mom and Aunty Luna dead we party like never before like all night long and all day too, we capture any party poopers and force them to smile.

During our little parties, a vortex opened up and out came a dragon who just like me. Only much bigger This spike had wings and for some reason, I felt at ease.

“Your world is about to die.” He said in a very deep voice. “ If you come with me, then you can party as much as you want in other worlds? Murder as much as you want. You can even bring your friends.”I thought about it, and yes this world has become boring. All the party poopers want to stay in, and there aren't enough creatures to torment. So of cause I brought Bloomy, Ember, Thorax, and Starlight along with me. “However I’m collecting six more versions of me. Your job will be recruiting them.”

“Sure.” I simply said getting up from my throne and walking over to the bigger me. He created a portal so I and my gang of friends enter. “So Spike?” I asked only for him to shake his head.

“That’s a name I long have forgotten. My name is Distortion.” And the portal closed, but before that, I look back for a light that blinded me and destroy the world I once lived.

All I could say is damn I forgot to bring Twilight and mom.


“And that’s my story,” The smiling drake said leaning against Pinkie shoulder. On the table was the cards of dark versions of the gang taking over this reality, and many others “I know I know I shouldn’t have had been mean. But outside of this little world of yours. No matter how much sunshine and rainbows you create, no matter how much magic you put in that rainbow powers of yours, there will always be unhappiness across the land.

Spike picked up the card of him smiling and swipe it across the pink mare’s cheek, blood slowly flow down the wound of the cheek.

“Before we begin let me introduce you to my friends.” He snaps his claws letting the creatures he talking to throughout his story come into the light.

The first was his mate Apple Bloom. She wore a matching dress of cutie marks she skinned over the years the blue eyes of the pink earth pony recognize two, no three of the cutie marks that she wore as well as orange pegasus wings and a small white unicorn horn around her neck.

The next was Thorax. Instead of his lime green reformed form, he was back to his original form. Nothing much change about him except for the green grin as he had many scratch marks on his skin.

The next was Ember. She had on was some bones of creatures on her body as armor as She was holding several iron leashes which were connected to several baby dragons, colts and fillies as they look like the smiling dragon only more vicious as they giggled with their sharp smiles. The most notable thing about the baby and a few older dragons, colts, and fillies was a bit of blood, and drool dripping from their mouths.

Last was Starlight as she looked like she went through a meat grinder and was stitched back together as she had a brand of a smile on her cutie mark and her eyes were more demonic than normal.

What happens next shook Pinkie to the core. Apple Bloom had brought out survival knives and saws, most of them clean and new. “Now Pinkie Ah sorry but, well we have several mouths to feed and well ya the right pony to feed them. So how ya like her, cook or raw?” Apple Bloom asked turning to the crazed who just ran up wanting to sink there fangs, and teeth on pony fresh. However, Ember was keeping a tight hold on them.

“Raw it is. Go get her!” The yellow filly yell. Ember let go of the chain releasing the ravenous children to eat there meal. Suddenly they all got squeaky toys stuffed in their mouths as they look confused.

Pinkie closed her eyes. There was no pony screaming, no pony would hear, and even if they heard no doubt they're being killed but nothing happen. She opens her eye only to have them cover once more.

“Sorry Pinkie, I was. . .busy dealing with some friends from out of town. Don’t worry you’re safe.” And with a snap of his claws, a flash of light appear, then disappear leaving Spike and his gang alone.

Spike sighed as he got out of his chair “Oh he always wants to ruin our fun doesn't he?”

The dragon looked to his smiling comrades as they look to him. “Our friends are doing their part to destroy this world. She may have gotten away but we will have our party soon. Let have ourselves a wonderful time.” He said before he starts to laugh madly.
