Spike had finally caught up with the girls and encouraged that the seven of them should keep moving. Twilight got very worried, for she could see that Spike's eys were not his his usaul green color, but a new orange color that looked very creepy in the light of the moon.
By the time the 7 friends reached the temple, they all started searching for any seemingly camouflagued items in hopes that they would find the 8th Element of Harmony. Eventually, they all found something strange about the temple's main structure, the structure in which the other Elements used to rest upon.

"Did you all actually think you could all find the 8th Element so quickly?", said a very familiar voice
And just like that, Shadow Griff emerged straight out of the shadows.
"The Spirit of Friendship is right here!", he anounced, pointing at the structure.
"What?", everyone, except Spike, gasped.
"Now you shall never retrieve it", continued Shadow Griff as he then created a force field around the structure disquise of the 8th Element.
"You mean we've been staring at the 8th Spirit this whole time?", said Rainbow

"Come now Spike", said Shadow Griff
"Yes, my lord", replied Spike as he walked over to Griffy.
"Spike!", exclaimed Twilight, "What are you doing?"
"Why would you care?", growled Spike, "You never really cared for me, Sparkle!"
"I-I don't understand", stammered Twilight in horror.
"You never saw me as a friend", replied Spike, "Only as an asisstant. You only came to Ponyville so you could make FRIENDS! Meaning I was never your pal!"
The six Ponies realized that something terrible had just happened, both their male friends had gone to the dark side.
