After a little while later, the Antmen were throwing more prisoners into the chamber; such Owlicious the Great Horned Owl, the Cutie Mark Crusaders, Granny Smith, Big Macintosh, Snips and Snails, Photo Finish, "The Great and Powerful" Trixie and her brother Pokey. So many were being captured if they were trying to fight back against the hordes of Antmen, even if they were not Horses (like Owlicious and William).
"Hello prisoners", a very scary sounding voice from outside of the prison chamber, "Have any sweet nightmares lately?"
"Yeah", said the voice of a tuff yet ignorant voice also from outside of the prison chamber, "You tell them, buddy!"
I flew over to the bars to look at these wierd-sounding characters, and there they were. One of them looked like a Pony accept, he was the size of a Rhinoceros, had an almost Moose-like snout, kind of a Hippopotamus-like build, a black eye and a Cutie Mark of an axe (just like what that Earth Pony, Chop, had. In fact, it WAS Chop!)
"Whoa! Chop!", I said in amazment, "Have you been working out?"
"Not really", said Chop, who's voice was strangely more deeper the last time I saw him.
The other guy with him also looked kind of like a Pony. This one had a height of about 8 or 9 feet, his hooves were elongated (resembling Spider legs almost), had an extra pair of limbs (which were graspers resembling Crab pincers), nearly glowing eyes, a curved hook-like horn on his forehead and had a Cutie Mark of a shovel (just like what the that Unicorn Pony, Digger, had. In fact. it WAS Digger!)
"What's happened to you Digger!", I said worryingly, "Were you expiramented on by Space Aliens?"
"Good to see you again Griffy", said Digger, who's was now very creepy-sounding (sounding almost like a gurgly-sounding Demon), "The Mega-Ant sisters spared both me and Chop me death and recruted us into being prison guards by mutating our chromosomes and now look at us! You probably would not even recognize us anymore, old pal"
I could not believe that my old temporary pals had turned to the dark side thank's to Mega-Ant venom. "You lost the right to call me "pal" long ago!", I yelled.

"I have it!", cried out Spike, still looking at that new silver tablet, "This is a Dragon's history record of the 7th Element's spirit's whereabouts"
"Well", asked Twilight desperately, "What does it say?"
"It says...", said Spike as he started to read it, "...The Spirit of Unity resided inside the body of a Mountain Dragon, that's my Dragon species PS, and when that Dragon had a clutch, one of her children had the spirit inside them. And the spirit kept going from body to body through this particular family tree until it finally came to my mother and then went inside me when I was just an embryo inside my shell"
"Does this mean...", started Rainbow.
"Yes", interupted Spike, "I represent the Spirit of Unity"
That's when out of nowhere, these fragments of crystal were flying really fast into the Antman nest and into the prison chamber and started to surround Spike. These were the shattered remains of the seventh Element of Harmony's old, crystalline body (just the other six had).
"I don't believe it!", I said in awe.
"Neither can", said Spike happily, "I'm praticaly one of the Elements, just like the six girls"
"Well you were showing signs of serious unity when we were all out hunting for the spirit", said Twilight, "This also means that our search for the seventh Element of Harmony was to bring us, mostly you Spike, not here; but in HERE", she said as she laid her hoof on Spike's heart, "You just needed the right time and place to discover it"
And with that, Spike summoned enough power from the inner spirit inside of him and activated some really rad-looking silver armor that appeared on his body.
"Now let's kick some Antman abdomen!", He exclaimed fiercely with pride.
