Going Back
it had been a week since Applejack had returned she had locked herself in her room and didn't come out unless it was time to eat. Applejack was sleeping since it was late but not in her room but one of Twilights.
in her dream
Applejack was watching two Spike's one evil and one she got to know "You were right all along" he said.
"Told you the mare was nothing but bad news" evil Spike said.
"tell me what to do" good Spike said.
"destroy Equestria once and for all" evil Spike grinned "you may not know your full strength when Ultra Mystic but I do" Then evil Spike took Spike's claw and placed it on the ground "Feel more than the ground feel the entire planet, you will find you have the power to tear the very planet to pieces" he said, Then Spike tapped into his Ultra Mystic mode, then seconds every place in Equestria was torn to pieces then Spike stood and let out a yell.
in Space a world known as Equestria was normal and then it was turn apart to pieces by something very powerful, every living creature was killed as the planet was destroyed, then the lava from the core formed hands and grabbed the parts and put the planet back together, then it glowed purple and formed a new planet, the planet was black as obsidian with lava glowing from everypart and black and green clouds flickered with purple lightning.
back on the new planet Spike had made Equestria his own world, then Spike's formed "since the old Spike died with the planet" he said with a grim tone, he his scales turned dark purple almost black and his spines and under belly turned into a darker green.
Then a huge 10 foot throne made of obsidian grew and Spike sat on it looking at the new world, nothing but blackened ground with volcanoes erupting.
"There is an old line that states: one can not begin a new without getting rid of the old world" Spike snickered before it turned into a full blown boisterous evil laugh
Applejack was in shock at what she seen and then the void faded and Luna appeared.
"young Applejack what trouble's thy" Luna asked.
"I just saw the end" Applejack panted "I suddenly know what an Apocalypse means it doesn't mean just the end of a race or a city, it means the destruction of an entire planet" she told her.
"So you finally see why the void was never filled" Luna spoke.
"Yes, but what makes it worse I hurt Spike in ways he has never felt, the effects could destroy the entire planet" Applejack said "I said things I didn't mean he was so angry and hurt he threw me'h out" she said.
"Hmm, I think he was hurt more than anything else" Luna told her, then another flash appeared and Celestia popped in.
"How can yew be certain that all it was?" Applejack said.
"because I know him better than anyone" Celestia replied "in all the years I have known Spike since I raised him, I never seen him look at a pony the way he looks at you" she said "Not with me, not with Twilight, not even with miss Rarity, it seems he cares for you like he had never felt before"
"What can ah do?" Applejack asked.
"Look inside your heart and you will see what you need to do" the sisters spoke in sync and vanished,
Applejack woke up with a start and panting, then heard the Princesses faint voices in her head "use your heart" she then walked and met Fluttershy.
"This is familiar" Fluttershy smirked.
"I'm going back" Applejack she said directly.
"after all that why" Fluttershy asked.
"I want to make sure Spike will be okay" Applejack said "Luna and Celestia told me to use my heart and thats what I'm doing, It's telling me'h "go back"" she told her.
"I'm sure there is more than that" Fluttershy noted.
Then Applejack listened to her heart and it remained attached about Spike and the good times, then saw her friends disgusting gazes in her mind making her grit her teeth "that does it" she snapped.
"What does it?" Fluttershy asked.
"I don't care if what you and the others think, I love him" Applejack said loudly "Ya'll hear me'h I LOVE SPIKE WITH ALL MY HEART!" she yelled, the other bearers appeared in a flash.
"What!?" they said.
"you heard me'h I love him and I'm going over to him right now and tell him that to his face" Applejack said with vigor "And if he still avoids me'h I'll smooch him so much till we both stop breathing" she said.
"your not going without us" they said.
Later the group were walking through the Everfree Forest with Applejack leading.
"Why do we have to do this now? Rarity asked.
"Yew want to turn back go ahead but I'm seeing Spike" Applejack retorted.
they were walking when Fluttershy spoke up "You seem twice as bold now, being with all that time with Spike has changed you" she said.
"you stay with a ferocious dragon it will change anypony" Applejack replied, then she stopped with a halt.
"What is it?" Rainbow asked, Applejack sniffed the air and her eyes widened as she heard growls.
"Ran ya'll" Applejack spoke with alarm.
"Timberwolves!" Fluttershy screamed as the group charged through the forest with 4 timberwolves after them.
Applejack was separated from the group with the Timberwolves after her, the creatures trapped her between a rock wall which she couldn't climb.
"Help!" Applejack yelled out with fright "Please someone please!, HELP!" she screamed curling up defenseless.
Spike was standing out on the balcony, feeling sorry for his actions he did to Applejack.
"Loves me, loves me not" Spike grumbled, then he sighed then he heard Applejack scream.
"HELP" she screamed.
"'gasp' Applejack?" Spike bolted up straight he used his supervision to zoom in and scanned and saw 4 timberwolves cornering the mare ready to strike, Spike jumped from the balcony and landed gracefully on the grass.
"Like heck you will" Spike hissed as he went into his Ultra Mystic form and supersped into the forest to defend the mare.
back with Applejack a Timberwolf was just starting to jump at her, she closed her eyes and then something heard like they collided with a Timberwolf, she looked and saw Spike in his Ultra Mystic form tackle the Timberwolf from the side and rolled and threw it across the space smashing it into pieces then Spike stood protectively over her on all fours snarling threateningly .
"Don't you lay a claw on her" Spike growled in demonlike voice, then his eyes slitted as he turned into his beast mode snarling furiously.
One jumped at him and Spike swung with a massive clawedhand slamming it into the chest sending it into a tree 10 feet away shattering it and knocking the tree over, he caught the third one with a clawedhand and smacked the fourth back with swat of his tail, then crushed the 3 into splinters with a savage squeeze, then he stood ready, then the pieces lifted up and formed one big wolf, Spike roared at it and charged at it, stopping it from charging with his clawedhands and pushed it back dug his claws into it's bark hide and lifted it up and threw it back into a trees 12 feet back knocking several over, then Timber wolf got up and ran and jumped Spike caught it's it by the jaws with his hands and threw it to the side the swung a claw under it's jaw sending it flying and crash into a tree next to the rock wall buckling the tree inwards.
Spike jumped over to it with a leap shaking the ground grabbing it by the shoulders and spun slammed it into a rock and then picked it up then dropped it on the ground hard, then slammed a fist in it's head breaking off a horn, then picked it up and grabbed a hunk from it's side a ripped it off, then grabbed a claw as the wolf tripped to swat him and ripped the limb off and rammed into it and lifting it head up by it's jaws and bit it on it's neck and drove it into a tree it bent inwards as broken spikes appeared Spike then kept holding the wolf and grabbed the spikes with a clawedhand and ripped three out and plunged the into the Timberwolfs eye blinding it with that eye.
The he left a deep slash across the face that bled with sap then he pushed it away with a snarl the wolf landed with a thud, Spike growled viscously and blew a stream of blue flames turning it into ash, then turned at the smaller one that stalked over to Applejack and tried to pounce but with a blink of an eye he was over and caught it by the tail and turned and threw it back, then turned back to his normal form snarling and glaring death at the timberwolf, then wolf got up and growled back, then Spike stepped forward and let out a monstrous and thundering roar.
"GGRRRAGGHHHRAGH!" Spike roared as the Timberwolf let out a doglike shriek of fear and ran like a demon was after it, actually in it's defense that would be true.
"Yeah you better run" Spike spat "That will teach you to mess with a dragon" he hissed, then calmed down and turned to Applejack and crouched down.
"A.J are you okay?" Spike asked gently.
"Uhhuh" Applejack got out, then Spike frowned.
"What in Bahamut's and Fuast's name are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Spike demanded crossly.
"Yew saved me" Applejack said.
"Of course I did, I know were not living together but that doesn't mean I want you to be killed" Spike replied, then Applejack's lip trembled and tears fell and she got up and hugged him tightly, barrying her face in his chest sobbing quietly.
Spike stood a bit stunned but smiled and hugged her back gently and put his claw on the back of her head stroking her mane and back.
"Thank yew" Applejack whimpered "ah was so scared" she sobbed hugging him tighter.
"What was the commotion here?" Fluttershy asked but paused seeing Spike hugging Applejack.
then everypony came, Twilight and Rainbow limped with pain, Pinkie Pie was hopping along with Rarity helping her and Pinkie was holding her ribs.
"you guys looked like you seen better days" Spike joked as he and Applejack broke apart.
"Do yew mind if ye-" Applejack started.
"Say no more I'll help them" Spike promised then beamed them all to his castle, then Spike studied their injuries.
"guess those wolves did a number on you this time instead of me" Spike spoke.
"Are they okay" Applejack asked.
"well Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber" Spike pointing at Twilight and Rainbow "Have broken wings and Pinkie has a bunch of broken ribs and a sprain hoof".
"Pfft" Pinkie snickered "Tweedledumb TweedleDumb-" she chuckled but was caught off by Spike.
"I wouldn't laugh now it would only make your condition worse" he told her then conjured up his healing fire and washed it over the three their injuries healed.
"hey were back to normal" Twilight cheered.
"My wings are back" Rainbow Dash smirked "Thanks" she said to Spike, the dragon just nodded, thinking what possessed Applejack to come into The Everfree Forest like that.
"Now thats out of the way" Spike said as he turned to Applejack with a stern gaze "What possessed you to go in the Everfree Forest like that" he said "I understand Pinkie and Rainbow Crash here to do that, because they'er nuts" he said.
"Hey!" said the two mares.
"But you, if I didn't hear you in time-" Spike said crossly.
"ah was coming to see yew" Applejack cut him off.
Spike was surprised "You were, coming to see me" he said.
Applejack nodded her head "ah miss yew very much" she said "there is something I need to say" she said, the mare looked at the others "alone" she added.
"of course take your time" Twilight answered as they stepped out.
"I feel awful the way ah acted before" Applejack said.
"How you acted?" Spike said with disbelief "I'm the one who should be sorry, I almost manipulated you to do something-" he said.
"let me'h finish" Applejack said with vigor shutting Spike up "I came to back here to say I'm sorry and" she said
"I love you" Applejack finished making Spike eyes open and close to see if this was a dream or if he was hearing things.
"You love me?" Spike said.
"with all my heart, I love yew more than apples" Applejack replied.
"What made you realize this?" Spike said "are you sure your not still under my influence?" he said as he poked her in the head gentle with a finger, she gently took it off with her front hooves and held it to her warm chest.
"I'm serious" Applejack told him with a smile "I love you more than yew could ever know" she said "but can I ask yew something" she said.
"What would that be?" Spike wondered.
"Do yew love me'h?" Applejack asked.
"I'll be honest and say, ever since you came here, you never once cringe at the sight of me and didn't flinch when you touched my claws or arm" Spike said "You were differen't you treated me like a friend then, the more you were here the more I felt an attraction for you" he said
"At first I thought I was going nuts and if I kept my distance it would go away, but it didn't" Spike told her "then after the kiss I realized then my feelings were true, I love you to, more than the role I took" he said.
"I didn't realize" Spike said, but then Applejack caught him off by kissing him fully on the lips, then 1 second later he kissed her back and put his claw on her face like their first kiss.
then slowly broke away "so I'll ask again" Spike said "will you marry me?" he asked with a smirk, as he held up the necklace he made her a week ago.
"I will" Applejack smiled as she placed the necklace back on her neck.
"Oh and I took the spell off so you can take it off and on" Spike told her.
"I have no intention of taking it off" Applejack replied with a smirk, then Spike stood up and hugged her tightly with happiness as she did the same with a loving smile.
Discord had been watching with a crystal ball of his own in his realm.
"About bloody time" Discord smiled with joy.
