Spike handed a very disoriented and green looking Pinkie Pie a tall glass of fuzzy Ginger Ale. She was slumped over a table in the dining area, groaning loudly.
"That writer is gonna pay for that." Pinkie moaned.
Spike rubbed her back, "there, there. Drink up." He calmly said. He then turned to Rachel, who was leaning against the countertop and mouthed, "who is she talking about?"
Rachel shrugged and mouthed, "I dunno. Just rolled with it."
"Maybe she finally had a mental snap."
"You know her longer than me."
"You were working with her. Therefore, you witnessed what Pinkie was doing."
"I was focusing more on not burning cupcakes."
After a brief moment of silence, Spike smirked and mouthed, "You're cute." She stuck her tongue out at him. Knowing being called cute causes her to scrunch her nose.
"Oh gross!" A customer shouted in disgust. The couple and Pinkie looked to see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
Brats. Spike thought. He likes kids, don't get him wrong, but he dislikes these two. Dt and her friend are reformed in a way, but they are still spoiled little rich kids who would make lesser ponies feel like idiots.
And their eyes were on Rachel.
"You guys let a human in this establishment?" Silver Spoon groaned.
"Bet she contaminate these cupcakes!"
A couple of customers heard this, both were alarmed to hear anything about contaminated cupcakes.
"Now now, I will not have any disrespect in my own home and business," Mrs. Cake grunted, coming in on time.
Rachel grunted, looking at the kids. "I did no such thing."
But it was almost useless, the ponies were starting to complain about a human being there. How one said she put something in the cupcakes, getting angry and approached them.
Mr. Cake came from the back, grunting. "Anyone makes a move for Rachel is banned from the bakery!" He barked at them.
Spike was in predator mode, if any of them lay a hand in Rachel, he was going to rip their heads off.
He did say this though. "Diamond, you know Rachel isn't evil. She helped your father with his gallery last month." he reminded her with a low growl.
Diamond looked at the dragon, her eyes narrowed at the two. "For your information, my father's trading posts has been ransacked by humans. With their iky boom sticks! And injured the trader and stole our inventory!"
"And killed some ponies at a bank in Manehattan. Humans are foul creatures!" Silver Spoon pointed out. "Including her!"
Then everypony began barking and continued to make their way to Rachel.
"Whoa, whoa hey!" Rachel called out, still hurting, she moves back.
Spike let out a frightening roar, the windows cracked and caused several ponies to scream in fright. He stood in a protective stance, putting himself between the ponies and his mate.
"Let's go through the back!" Pinkie whispered loudly to the two, pointing at the back.
Spike grabbed Rachel's hand and they took off into the kitchen. Pinkie held the door open and had them ran out.
The three ran from the bakery, Rachel did her best to catch up. Adrenaline helped numb some of the pain in her legs some but she knew once it died down...it was gonna hurt more.
When far enough, she collapsed on the ground. Spike stuck out an arm for her to hold and and leaned against him.
"Phew! That was a close one." Pinkie said, having binoculars out and scoping the area for any more ponies who may be after them.
When she didn't hear them speak, Pinkie looked at them. "Guys?"
"Just give me a second." Rachel said, trying to catch her breath.
She took her phone out after a moment before turning it on. After getting on the internet, she went to the news…
Rachel's face paled when she saw the event.
The news ponies were sitting in the newsroom reporting it. "BREAKING NEWS, A SERIES OF VIOLENT ACTS RAGES ACROSS PARTS OF EQUESTRIA." the first news pony said.
A map appeared on screen. The Equestrian map had 6 blinking red dots showing the outbreak.
"BURGERLIES, ARSON, THEFT, JUST SEVERAL EXAMPLES WHAT THESE HUMANS ARE CREATING. AS IF EMBODIED BY THE CHAOS SPIRIT, DISCORD HIMSELF, THESE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN TERRORIZING IN BUSINESSES AND RESTAURANTS AND HOMES. PLACES AS CANTERLOT, SHADY OAKS, FILLYDELPHIA, MANEHATTEN, SALT LICK CITY AND DODGE JUNKTION." the second news pony told. "SOURCES SAY THAT THE RADICAL GROUP OF HUMANS ARE CAUSING DESTRUCTION, ARMED WITH A SPECIAL AERIAL ASSAULT MADE FROM THEIR WORLD."
"POLICE AND OTHER OFFICIALS ARE ADVISING EVERYONE OF US TO STAY IN DOORS AND DON'T COME OUT TILL THE TERRORISTS ARE BROUGHT DOWN."
Rachel quickly made a call to the twins after that. "Gemcity, Ruby, you guys okay?" she asked out of hysteria.
"Baby, sweetie, we're fine, we're fine." it was Ruby that answered. "Assuming you are seeing the news now, Equestria is turning into a major shit storm."
"Where are you guys at?" Spike asked them.
"Staying with one of our main feeders for a few days. Sexlings have to have many feeders, one won't keeps them sated."
"History talk later," Rachel sighed in relief that the girls were fine. "Something is not right here. Why would humans be causing hell in Equestria? We left to get away from all the violence."
"We don't know, sugar," Gemcity answered that one. "Have you talked to the Professor?"
"No, I haven't. Thing's been kinda hectic around here. Spike, Pinkie Pie-"
"Hello!" Pinkie called out while she was talking.
"-and I had just been chased out of a bakery here in Ponyville. We weren't doing anything wrong."
Spike felt a little at ease when Rachel didn't tell them about what he caused her. He knew that if they were to find out, he would probably find himself in a grave.
"Big guy, don't you dare let those fuckers hurt her, or I swear you're dead." The twins say in unison.
"I got her covered, you girls take of yourselves." Spike grunted. Slightly annoyed by that comment but letting it go.
"You too, guys. This is only getting worse." Ruby said before they clicked off.
Rachel leaned against her boyfriend and sighed heavily. "What the hell is going on?"
"Humans revolting against us and is trying to kill all ponies." Pinkie replied. The couple gave Pinkie a look that caused her to get that it was a rhetorical question. "Too soon."
Ya think?!
"Hmm, let's head on out to Maud's place. No pony else is brave enough to go into her cave. I'm sure she won't mind Spike munching on a few of her gems."
That got Spike's interest.
Before they sent off to where a mob won't get to them, a text was sent to Rachel's phone.
"It's from Gemmy." Rachel said before looking at it. There was a mix look on her face.
"Rach?" Spike asked, his ears lifted up slightly. "What's up? I don't like that look on your face."
"After Rarity told me that Bouncer and his goons were missing, I asked the twins to keep tabs, to see where they may be." Rachel explained, her voice low.
"Why? Bouncer tried to rape you."
"Don't remind me, babe." she grunted rather harshly. "If they are missing, I wanna know if they knew where they were cause I happen to have a small concern that they would come back for me, for us, for revenge. So I can be prepared."
"And…? What's the bloody text?"
Rachel waited before responded. "They found the remains of Bouncer...in the Evergreen. Stabbed and his jaw ripped off, mauled by some large creature."
Oh fuck….was the only thing Spike thought for that moment.
