Chapter X: Where am I?

Hello, peoples. I'm here with another chapter for you all. I hope that I can live up to your expectations with these next few chapters. How about we just go into it then? THE FIC IS THE THING!

Alright, that wasn't fair at all. If I was dead, then why was I in pain and in a rocky valley? Was this a result of the spell? Was I being punished because the spell hadn't taken an effect to me yet?

My thoughts were interrupted by a voice behind me. "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

My spine shot ridged when I heard these words. Slowly, I turned around. Behind me was a statue of myself with a forced smile. It laughed at me in a menacingly high pitch. I took a step backwards. It slid after me the same distance.

I bolted away from it as fast as I could, but every time I shot a glance over my shoulder, there it was. Nothing could stop it. I twisted and turned, zig -zagged, and in countless different ways, but it was always right behind me.

In a vain attempt, I jumped over a cliff. I turned in the air to see the statue "looking at me." It didn't jump after me though. I did hear it laugh once more before blacking out again.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

Okay, this was beyond strange. I've now fell to my death twice and I'm still perfectly fine. This time, I was in a normal landscape, though it was void of any buildings. Wait a minute, there was one.

I walked towards it slowly. It looked like a darkened remake of the Canterlot castle. But the inside only had one room. One large empty room.

In the middle was an eerie looking shrine. The outside of it was surrounded by gold, while the middle was made up of a different red material.

To my left was a sign that only had the words, "Burn it." I didn't want to take a command from a freaky sign in a freaky room, but I wasn't too fond of the dark either. So I obliged, breathing slightly onto the block in the center.

A fire sprung to life instantly, engulfing the entire surface of the material. I heard a deep, menacing laugh in the air around me. "You've summoned me, you foolish dragon."

Suddenly, a figure appeared on the flaming block. It looked similar to what Walker had, but much...blockier. It's shirt was a light blue, it's pants a darker shade. But the detail I'll never forget is the eyes. Two empty, white eyes staring right at me.

"Do you know what the penalty for waking me is?" The figure's mouth didn't move as it spoke. I only stared at me with its blank eyes and creepy smile. Then, his arms shot up and he dashed towards me.

I closed my eyes tightly as I felt him grip my neck.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

"Where the buck am I?" I asked before opening my eyes and waking from my should have been death.

Now, I was back in Ponyville. But, nothing appeared to be changed. In fact, it looked just like it did before the spell was cast.

I ran through the town, overjoyed that it was over. The first place I headed was the Library. Throwing open the doors, I saw all twelve of my friends, all back to normal. Walker had reverted back into his original form.

I flew over to Twilight and wrapped my arms around her neck. "Twilight! I can't tell you how glad I am that everything is back to normal."

She cocked her head when I said this. "What do you mean?"

I looked her in the face. "Oh, very funny. Like you don't know."

That's when things started to get strange. She smiled at me calmly. "Oh, the spell. Well, yes, everything is perfect now that you're here." Then, her face hardened. "Thanks to the pathetic Twilight Sparkle."

I let go of her and back towards the door. Looking around, I noticed that they all had that same look on their faces.

All of a sudden,they all were engulfed in green flames. I couldn't believe this. The spell had worn off. "What's going-"

I couldn't finish that thought before the flames faded. Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, the CMC, the Doctor, Ditzy, and Walker were gone. In their places were Changelings, all grinning menacingly.

Twilight herself transformed into Queen Chrysalis. When she saw my face, she couldn't have been more delighted. "Surprised to see us Spike?"

"I-I t-thought you w-were..."

"Dead? Erased? It'll take more than that to get rid of me." She walked over to my side. "And since I can't get to Twilight directly, I'll have to take out my anger on her closest friend." She bared her fangs as she lowered onto my neck.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

"AND... I'm fine." Now this was getting old. I should have been dead four times by now. But at least the scenery was different every time. I was now in a giant white room, with gadgets and gizmos everywhere.

In the room with me were two people in big chairs. They were turned from me so that I couldn't see their faces. But I could hear them speak. "How far from the coordinates of the next stone, Kyle?"

"About...twenty units, Tanhan. I just hope we're not too late."

I couldn't believe it. The one that was being referred to as Tanhan sounded exactly like Walker. I walked over behind his chair and asked, "Walker? Is that you?"

The two chairs turned around. The one in the left, Kyle, had brown hair, hazel eyes, and wore a shirt with red, white, and blue on it. His pants were just dark blue.

The one on the right, however, looked exactly like Walker. Same face, same voice, but some features were different. His hair was bright white, just like the robe he wore, tied at the waist by a gold belt, which matched his eyes. "Who are you?" he asked.

"Walker, you don't remember me? It's Spike!"

"I've never met you before in my life. And I'm not Walker, whoever that is. My name is Tanhan Starsaver, the White Sword-Wielder. And what are you doing on the Starnado?"

"The... what?"

Kyle answered this time. "That would be our ship. Now answer the question!"

I never got a chance before something made the whole ship shake. "No." Tanhan lifted a little black box to his mouth. "Nave! Hantan's onto us. Get Alice and Inferno somewhere safe."

Behind us, I heard a crash. Looking in that I direction, I saw a human in a completely black outfit. Black shirt, pants, mask, helmet, and cape. He spoke in the same voice as Walker as well. "Now, if it isn't my other half. Why don't you just hand over the sword now?"

Tanhan reached to his hip and a pure white sword. "Never."

"I do not believe you know what I am capable of." He looked at me with an evil smile in his eyes. He held out his and and yelled, "ALPHA ELE KAI!"

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

This time, I was in an open field. But now, I knew what was going on. I spoke into seemingly the air. "Alright, princess, enough is enough."

Surely enough, Luna descended from the sky and landed in front of me. She looked as if she were halfway between Luna and Nightmare Moon. "How did you know it was us?"

"Well, since I died so many times and am still fine, I knew that it had to be a dream. And who other than the Princess of the Night can control others dreams?"

"Well played, Spike, but we can still kill you as many times as we wish."

"But Luna, this isn't like you. I know that you hate being like this, and you don't have to be. Please, we need you back."

She didn't answer me. But she did begin to glow.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O

I woke up. This time for real. But I wasn't on the ground in town. I was back in the secret place with Applejack, Rarity, and Fluttershy. And... one more pony.

He walked forward to me and removed his hood, revealing his smiling golden face. "You're lucky that I saw you fall, Spike."

I couldn't believe who I was talking to. "Crossback."

Chapter Complete. Wow, who saw that happening? I hope that you will forgive me for using so many references, such as Herobrine and Ben Drowned. Anywho, R&R AND ADIOS!
