I was thinking of putting a photo to this story. So if any of you have any good ideas for a cover photo for this story that would be great! :D You can draw it whatever you would like. I would like it to have something to do with Spike and Discord. Whether its Spike vs Discord or at least something like Spike standing up to Discord.

I am on DeviantART and my username is Bluekattanatmnt.

Ok, I know that 'katana' is spelt with only 1 't' XD I made that account years and years ago! lol! But yeah anyway if you guys would like to draw a cover photo for this story that would be really cool! ;) It would make this story 20% more cool! ;D

Spike's POV


I groaned as I slowly opened my eyes only to reveal that I was still in the dark… still alone. "Man, what a horrible nightmare. I must have hit my head or something." I looked around the room, but I could barely see anything.

I tried to stand up so that I could get to the Library door, but as I stood my side began to ache. I cringed and stayed perfectly still on the floor. "It… it really happened… Discord was here!"

I frantically tried to get up. "I have to ugh! Warn the others!" I was able to stand up, but the pain was still there. I slowly made my way too the Library door, but as I did the Library door swung open.

Twilight came running in with a jug floating along beside her. "I found it Spike! Oh, it would have been horrible if I didn't get that fruit punch! Pinkie Pie would have been devastated!" Twilight let out a short giggle as she put the drink into the fridge, so as to keep it cool.

"Twi," I felt my legs starting to give way. "Yeah Spike?" As soon as we made eye contact her smile faded. "SPIKE! What happened?" Twilight quickly ran over to help me before I fell to the ground.

I had completely lost control of my legs as Twilight came to my side. I fell onto her back and she quickly carried me to my bed. "Spike! What happened? Are you alright?"

I felt myself hover off of her back and slowly was put into my bed, with only a little pain. "Uh, it was… UH!" As I was about to say it, I felt a pain in my head. It was like I was struck with a bolt of lightning! I started groaning and twisting and turning in my bed.

"AAHH!" The pain was incredible! I have never felt anything like it before. "SPIKE!" I heard Twilight come to side and tried her best to help me, which wasn't very much. "Twi! Ahhh!"

I tried opening my eyes, but what I saw was 5 twilights! They all look so… so spiny… my world started to darken. Everything was just moving so fast… and there was so much, I just felt sick to my stomach.

I could hear Twilight calling my name, but I just couldn't respond… my mind was foggy I could barely put two and two together. There was a sudden flash before my eyes as the pain shot through my head again. I clenched my head as the pain increased.

"TWILIGHT!" I couldn't take it anymore, the pain was unbearable! "Make it stop! Please! Make it stoooop!" I could feel my own tears starting to stream down my face. "Please…"

I suddenly felt very numb. I couldn't feel anymore pain… it was all just rapidly… disappearing.


Twilight's Pov

"Spike? Spike! Oh my gosh! Spike!" I tore through the shelves looking for any book that would be able to help me figure out what was wrong with Spike. I then heard a scream. "Spike!"

I quickly ran over to Spike's side and by the time I got there he almost had fallen off his bed. I helped him back in, but that did little help. His teeth were grinding together and his hands were tightly gripping his head.

I heard him scream again, which made me panic even more. "Spike! Hang on Spike, I'm gonna call for some help!" No sooner had I said that that Spike seem to go unconscious.

"Oh my goodness!" I quickly levitated Spike onto my back and ran out the door. I had to get the doctor! "You're going to be ok Spike… your going to be ok…" although I wasn't to sure myself.

By the time I got to the doctors office I was out of breath, but I as I got to the door, I started to panic even more! There was a sign on the door that said "Closed for the day". "No! What do I do now?!"

I quickly tried to come up with some ideas… "Who would be able to help Spike?" I thought about it for a moment and then it hit me. "Zecora!" As I turned around to run over to Zecora's place I bumped into someone. I got back up in a flash, my adrenaline still racing through me, and I looked down to see Applejack. "Applejack!"

"Oh, hey Twilight." She stood up and dusted herself, then smiled at me, but that quickly disappeared as she probably noticed how worried I looked. "What's wrong sugar cube?" "Applejack, I need your help!" I turned side ways so that she could see Spike lying unconscious on my back. "Oh my word! What happened?"

I looked down at Spike as my brain raced to find an answer. "I don't know… I just went out to get some punch for the picnic today and when I came back he was like this. But Applejack, I need you to take Spike to Zecora's and see if she can do anything for him. You are the fastest out of all of us and we need to get him there ASAP! I am going to round up the others and meet you there."

I looked back at Applejack and she looked determined. "You can count on me Twi! I'll get him there faster than you can say "Monkey's uncle!"" I gentle lifted Spike off of my back and set him on AJ's. As soon as I did AJ took off down the dirt road toward Zecora's house. "Don't worry Twilight; I'll get him there safely."

Applejack kept running. I don't know why but I was unable to move until AJ was out of eye sight. "C'mon, you have to pull yourself together and get the others. Spike will be alright. AJ is with him." I shook my head and started running over to the park where I would find the others.

I tore through the streets of ponyville, running as fast as I could to find the others. I tried numerous times to use my teleportation spell, but I am just so emotional that I couldn't muster up the focus to perform the spell.

I finally arrived at the park, and there were the others, sitting around a basket waiting for Applejack, me… and Spike. I darted over to them panting rather hard.

"Twilight, darling, what seems to be the problem?" I tried to catch my breath, but we had to get going. 'C'mon Twi! This is no time to rest.' "Spike…he… needs… us!" That got everyone's attention. "Wha-what happened?" Fluttershy sounded like she was going to pass out. Hearing that someone was hurt could send Fluttershy over the edge sometimes, especially if that someone was one of her friends.

"What do you mean Twilight? What happened?" Rainbow Dash landed on the ground in front of me, and waited impatiently for me to give her and explanation. "I… I don't know. But he is badly hurt! And we need to get to him right away! Applejack is taking him to Zecora's place right now. We have to go! Come on!"

Without any other questions or arguments we all bolted out of the park and ran as fast as we could in the direction of the Forest. 'Hang on Spike, we're coming.'


AJ's Pov

I was running as fast as I could through the Forest. Branches scratched my cheeks and legs as I passed them not even trying to avoid them. I glanced back a few times just to make sure Spike was alright. When I looked back at one point I noticed that there seemed to be something following us.

'Oh fritters… not now' I ran faster hoping to avoid any confrontation from anything, I couldn't take the chance of battling any animal with poor Spike on my back. I took another glance back to see that it wasn't there anymore, but I was still alert. I felt as if it was still there, but that it did not want to be noticed while it stalked us.

I then heard what I thought to be was a growl. "That ain't no growl… that sounded more like… a chuckle?" I shook my head. 'Oh good grief AJ, an animal chuckling, that's absurd.'

I continued running and finally arrived at Zecora's house. I bolted through the front door and quickly scanned the room for any sign of Zecora. "Zecora! Zecora are you here?" I was in such a panic that I didn't hear what was coming up behind me.

"Why are you in a panic? Should you not be at your picnic?" I nearly jumped through the roof when I heard Zecora talk from behind me. "Zecora, thank Celestia that you're here! Spike needs your help!" Seeing Spike, Zecora quickly picked Spike up and started to analyze his injuries.

"Is he goin' to be alright Zecora?" I peeked over her shoulder as she examined Spike's side. "He seems to have gone to sleep, but that injury is rather deep. I must make a potion, so that we can get this healing in motion."

Zecora began looking through the shelves of all her plants and weeds. I looked over at Spike who still remained a sleep, he seemed like he was just in a deep sleep, but every now and then his face would reveal that he was in pain.

I walked over to his side. "Don't worry Spike. Zecora will take good care of you. And the others will be here soon."
