Right after Spike left to the alternate world, Spike#2 is heading back inside the castle with everyone else, Twilight sets up the mirror.
(keep in mind, he will be now called Spike until the real Spike is back in the end of the chapter)

Twilight: ok, i got some good news & bad news.

Pinkie Pie: good news first please.

Twilight: the contraption has enough magical power to make the mirror work, but the bad news is....it can only let one being travel & after using it once, it will take an hour for it to work again.

Spike: so i have to wait for an hour in the human world for the mirror portal to work again?

Twilight: Spike, are you sure you want to do this?

Starlight: Twilight, he might be a clone, but i'm sure he can handle this.

Rainbow Dash: she's right, Spike pretty much got four—

Pinkie Pie: soon-to-be-five.

Rainbow Dash: ...dark orbs, i bet the clone here will do just fine.

Applejack: she's right, Spike's on a roll fer gettin' all these orbs.

Rarity: i agree.

Steel: he can handle this.

Saber: Spike is truly amazing, never forget that.

Slice, Fluttershy, & Discord: *nod*

Twilight: ok, let me fire it up.

Twilight turns the machine on and it begins to power the portal.

Twilight: alright Spike, you ready?

Spike: honesty....i feel "nervous-cited!"

Everyone looks at him in shock expect Steel, Saber, & Slice.

Steel: what's that mean?

Spike: don't know, it just came out.

Pinkie Pie: that's what i said all the time!

Applejack: *deadpan* and ah keep saying that's not a real word.

Spike: huh....seems the emeralds must be helping, even though i don't remember anything yet.

Discord: alright, enough chit-chat, you gotta go!

Spike: got it, i'll see you all later, and take care of everything while i'm gone!

Spike jumps into the mirror portal and feels himself swirling while moving forward, everything is black...until he opens his eyes.

Spike: whoa, that was wild, *notices his claws becomes hands* huh?

Spike turns around & looks at himself in the statue's reflection, he is now a teenage human. (imagine a hairstyle that would fit him & his skin is not purple, it's normal skin like us)

Spike: whoa, i look completely different, good thing my clothes didn't changed, *looks down* huh? why is there books on the ground? *picks them up*

???: hey...

Spike: huh? *turns aronud*

???: are you...Spike?

Spike: uh...yeah, i am, who are you?

Sunset: i don't believe it...you're alive! it's me, Sunset Shimmer!

Spike: i...may not remember you, but you do look & sound familiar.

Sunset: Twilight told me everything, hope she can lay off the details next time.

Spike: hmm.....did she tell you about...?

Sunset: oh yeah, she explain the dark orbs & how dangerous they are, but you absorb them right?

Spike: that's right, did she also explain that i am a clone of my real self?

Sunset: yeah she di—wait what?

Inside a classroom, Spike places the books on a desk & sees the hu-mane 6 enters.

Spike: oh...uh...hello?

Sunset: it's ok, i gave them the whole explantion.

Applejack: ok, so let us get this straight...

Rarity: you are a clone of the real you, who is currently in a alternate world...

Sci-Twi: and you're here to get a dark orb before anyone or anything touches it and becomes a dark creature?

Spike*thinking*: wow, human Twilight looks beautiful with her hair like that. *talking*: yes, that is correct, i need to find it before anybody gets hurt.

dog Spike: well, have you try sensing it?

Spike: first off; why am i a dog if i am a human in this world? secondly; good idea!

Spike closes his eyes and begins to locate the dark orb, he searches everywhere until....

Spike: found it!! it's at a place where there is trees, a lake, and a small dock.

The girls and dog Spike thinks about it until Pinkie Pie screams the answer.

Pinkie Pie: camp everfree!!

Sci-Twi: of course! that place has a small dock, it makes perfect sense.

Rainbow Dash: ha! this is going to be a piece of cake.

Rarity: wait a second darlings, i just remember that we're all going to have a field trip there.

Pinkie Pie: whoo-ho!! this is going to be a smaller piece of cake!

Sci-Twi & Sunset:*deadpan* she saids "all", that means the whole school.

Pinkie Pie: ......oh poop.

Fluttershy: and when does the field trip starts?

Rarity: um......today.

dog Spike: and do i have to remind you all that Crystal Prep is also coming with?

Girls: REALLY!??!

Spike: ah crap....but on the bright side, you girls can keep everyone else away while i go for the dark orb.

Sunset: i'll let principal Celestia know about this, she & vice-principal Luna will understand and help keep everyone else from getting hurt.

Rainbow Dash: aw man, i really want to kick some butt.

Spike: sorry Dash, but whoever touches the orb, they'll become crazy strong.

Applejack: welp, we better go and get started then.

Fluttershy: i just hope it's not a innocent creature that you have to defeat.

Spike: no, the other dark orbs i got where in the hands and/or claws of dangerous creatures, i bet this is going to be something far more dangerous than them.

Sci-Twi: well...let's go, we can't have camp everfree destroyed!

Spike: don't worry about me, i can do magic, it's a long story, but i'll explain, promise.

Unknown to them, someone was outside and heard everything, thanks to the window being open, a teenage girl, with a blue and dark blue streaked hair ponytail, overheard what Spike and the gang discuss, she then runs off, later.....Spike hides and holds on under the school bus to avoid being see by the other teenagers, when they finally arrive, Spike waits for the students to get off, he then slips away and heads to the forest.

Spike: okay, i can sense the dark orb is nearby, but where?

dog Spike: have you try smelling?

Spike: no, i highly doubt smelling where it is could—WAIT, WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!?!?

dog Spike: well, i thought i can help you out to look for the orb.

Spike: ugh...you're lucky that there is no danger here at the forest, so come along, don't get lost.

dog Spike: got it.

Spike and dog Spike heads deeper into the forest, the deeper they went, the more Spike is sensing the dark orb.

Spike: alright, i'm getting a strong sense, it's gotta be around here.

dog Spike: *sniffs the air* hey, why do i smell hot sauce?

Spike: hot sauce? why would hot sauce be here in the forest?

???: ugh!! are you sure you heard them right?!

???: i'm sure! they said something about some magic came from Equestria! i'm pretty sure it's here at camp everfree!

???: zip it you two! if you keep up the screaming, we'll get caught.

Spike: *whispers* who's that?

dog Spike: *whispers* wait a minute...i know those voices!

Spike: *whispers* come on, they're right through this bush.

Spike and dog Spike dove into the bushes to make their way to the other side, when they got to the end, they peek through to a large clearing of the forest and sees three teenage girls.

???: i swear Sonata, if this is gonna be a whole waste of time like you stop for a taco earlier.

Sonata: it's delicious, Aria!

???: Sonata! Aria! that's enough!

Aria: ugh, fine.

Sonata: sorry Adagio.

Spike: you know these girls?

dog Spike: Sunset told me and Twilight about them.

Spike: hold on, let me try something.

Spike places his hand on dog Spike's head and the memory of Sunset explaining the dazzlings to him and Sci-Twi.

Spike: ok wow, they are kinda bad and they're wearing those clothes from when they attend the battle of the bands back at the school.

dog Spike: yeah, and when it comes to equestria magic, they go after it.

Spike: but they can't have this one, it's way too dangerous.

Spike suddenly senses the dark orb and looks over to see it a few meters away.

Spike: crap! the dark orb is right there!

dog Spike: we gotta get it before they see it!

Spike: but you can't touch it, remember?

dog Spike: i know, that's why i'm the distraction!

dog Spike jumps out and runs pass the dazzlings.

dog Spike: oh look! a magic item that is this way! i'mma go get it!

Sonata: wha!? hey, i call dibs! *runs after him*

Aria: wait, how does that dog be able to talk!? *runs too*

Adagio: hey! get back here!!

The dazzlings follows dog Spike, Spike gets out of the bushes and heads to the dark orb.

Spike: alright, this is gonna be easy.

But suddenly.....

Pinkie pie: Spike! we lost dog Spike, do you know where he is?! i brought dog treats to get him back!

Spike: *thinking* WHY!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

dog Spike: *comes back* did someone say dog treats!?

Sonata: don't worry, i got hi—

Right before Sonata could get dog Spike, she tripped on a rock and her pendent get flung into the air, thanks to it not being tied up right on her neck, the pendent flys over Spike and falls on the dark orb, it absorbs the pendent, then it suddenly flys in the air and takes Adagio & Aria's pendents, it begins to grow bigger and bigger.

Aria: what the!?

Adagio: our pendents!!

Spike: ah great, i just had to jinx it, *looks at Pinkie Pie* Pinkie, get dog me and the dazzlings outta here! i'll deal with it!

Pinkie Pie: got it! *looks at the dazzlings* hey! come with me if you wanna live!!

Spike: *deadpan & thinking* okay, now that's a reference.

Aria: i don't wanna die, so i'm out!

Sonata: same!

Adagio: grr!! fine then!

dog Spike: make sure you defeat it!!

But the enlarge dark orb uses a tendril to grab dog Spike and pulls him inside of itself.

Pinkie Pie: DOG SPIKE!!!!!

Spike: NO!!!!!

The dark orb begins to form & what it turns into is a dark giant three-headed siren with dog Spike trap inside the huge combine pendent.

dog Spike: help!!

Spike: don't worry, i'll get you out!!

Spike begins to fly up in the air and starts beating the shit out of the creature, Pinkie takes the dazzlings out of there and heads towards the camp and meets up with the girls.

Sci-Twi: Pinkie, what's going on!?

Sunset: what is that thing!? and why are the dazzlings with you!?

Pinkie Pie: *deep breath* turns out one of the dazzlings overheard us talking back at the school and they follow us here, looking for the dark orb, and dog Spike follow Spike into the forest and saw the dazzlings, so dog Spike distract them, Spike was about to get the dark orb, but i came in at the wrong time with dog treats to bring dog Spike back, Sonata tripped and her pendent came off & touches the orb and got absorb, then the dark orb floats in the air and absorbs the other two pendents and it got bigger and it took dog Spike captive inside it's combine pendent on it's chest and Spike is right there beating the living out of it!!!!! *points at the fight*

Spike delivers a roundhouse kick to it's left head, causing it to fall back.

Spike: damn it! guess i have no choice.

Spike crosses his arms into a X and begins to channel dark magic, his eyes became black and pupils turns purple.

Spike: alright, i haven't use this since i unintentionally use it back at the throne room at the crystal empire, but here it goes!

Spike charges at the three-headed siren and punches it, it flew off to the lake, making a big splash, Sunset & the hu-mane 6 pony up & combine their magic to create a giant shield to protect everyone.

Sunset: he needs help, but how are we suppose take down a big three-headed siren!?

Rarity: and is that dark magic he's using?!

Fluttershy: maybe he has control over it.

Sci-Twi: can we focus on stopping that thing!?

Adagio: maybe....

They all look at Adagio in confusion.

Sunset: what? what is it?

Adagio: ugh...i can't believe i'm doing this, listen...there.....might be a way to stop it.

Aria: the only way to defeat it....is....

Sonata: *smiles* using the song of harmony!!

Rainbow Dash: song of harmony?

Applejack: what's that?

Adagio: back in equestria, it's a magical song that can used against siren.

Aria: it's far too powerful for a normal siren to handle.

Sonata: that amount of magical power really hurt us, but it won't....cause we're human!

Pinkie Pie: no problem for us! we have magic to pull it off!

Suddenly, another crash happen and the debris falls on the shield.

Rainbow Dash: but we're using said magic to protect everyone!!

Spike enters through the shield like a ghost, thanks to his dark magic, which he cancel out.

Spike: i manage to give it a lot of damage, any ideas to take it down?

Sunset: yeah, *points at the dazzlings* they told us that the song of harmony is the only way to take it down.

Spike: song of harmony? hold on.

Spike touches Sunset's head and gets the information though mind reading.

Spike: ok, i get it now.

Applejack: did ya just read her mind?

Spike: yep.

Sci-Twi: but how could you—

Pinkie Pie: muffin button.

Spike & Rainbow Dash: what?

Pinkie Pie: huh?

Aria: can we just focus on that thing!??! *points at the dark three-headed siren*

As the girls begins to discuss their plan, Spike looks back to see everyone else being scared, he then notices three teenage boys waving their hands to Spike, gesturing him to come over, he did just that and heads towards them.

Spike: um....hello, what do you guys want?

Flash: name's Flash Sentry, we just overheard what you need to do.

Sandalwood: we can do the music dude, i'm Sandalwood, by the way.

Valhallen: the name's Valhallen, let us help you out, oh....and Vinyl there is gonna work on the music.

Spike looks at Vinyl amd she nods, Spike nods back and looks at the creature who is charging at them.

Rainbow Dash: it's coming!

Rarity: one more hit and the shield will be gone!

Before the dark three-headed siren can make contact, it stops....because it knows it's coming.

Applejack: huh? it stop?

Fluttershy: but why?

Sunset: ngh! kinda hard to keep this shield up!

(play the song from above)

Rainbow Dash: ugh, come on!!

Spike: 🎶it's some kind of love....🎶

They turn around to see Spike in surprise.

Spike 🎶it's some kind of fire...i'm already up🎶

Boys: 🎶ooh🎶

Spike: 🎶but you lift me higher....you know i'm not wrong, you know i'm not lying.....we do it better🎶

Spike & the boys: 🎶we do it better, yeah🎶 *looks at the creature* 🎶and i don't mind if the world spins faster, the music's louder, the waves gets stronger🎶

The hu-mane 6, Sunset, the dazzlings, and everyone else watches at awe from their singing.

Spike & the boys: 🎶i don't mind if the world spins faster, faster, faster.....just let me take you to a better place!!🎶

They begin dancing and everyone cheers for them, suddenly...magic begins to form everywhere, Sci-Twi & Sonata looks at each other & nods, they ran towards them.

Spike & the boys: 🎶i'm gonna make you kiss the sky tonight, yeah if you let me show the way (ya-hey) i'm so excited...to see you excited!!🎶

Sci-Twi: 🎶to see you excited!🎶

Timber, with the other students, begins playing on a gutiar.

Spike: 🎶i'll take you to a better place🎶

Sci-Twi & Sonata: 🎶i'll take you to a better place!🎶

Spike & the boys: 🎶and, bany, you can love me on the way🎶

Spike, Sci-Twi, & Sonata: 🎶we're flying up to outer space(ya-hey)🎶

Spike grabs their hands and they starts spinning around.

Spike: 🎶i'm so excited!🎶

Sonata: 🎶i'm so excited!🎶

Sci-Twi: 🎶to see you excited!🎶

Magic begins to go to the gang amd they're all floating up.

All: 🎶i don't mind(i don't mind) if the world spins faster, the music's louder....🎶

Sci-Twi & Sonata places their back to each other, spins around and sings.

Sci-Twi & Sonata: 🎶the waves get stronger!🎶

The large combine pendent with dog Spike inside, removes itself and floats towards Spike and the boys.

Spike & the boys: 🎶i don't mind if the world spins faster, faster, faster, FASTER~~!!!🎶

Spike's purple aura phase through the pendent and on to dog Spike, turning him into a human while he sings too, even his voice change, the dark siren is beginning to crack up. (H=human)

(H)Spike: 🎶YEAH~~~!!!🎶

Spike, (H)Spike, & the boys: 🎶JUST LET ME TAKE TO A BETTER PLACE!!!!🎶

After that last line, the pendent explodes, even the dark three-headed siren, they all land safely.

Spike: dog me?

(H)Spike: nope, i'm no dog anymore.

Flash: whoa! he turn into a human!

Valhallen: wicked dude!

Sandalwood: amazing!

Spike: it would seem that my magic aura must transfer some of my human essence into you, turning you into a human.

(H)Spike: yeah, it's strange....i feel like i know how this body works, i guess the knowledge must got transfer too.

Sci:Twi: Spike?

Spike & (H)Spike: *points at each other* me or him?

Sci-Twi: uh i mean, MY Spike.

(H)Spike: hey Twilight, never expect this to happen huh? hehe....

Sci-Twi: *hugs him* doesn't matter, you're still the Spike i raised.

(H)Spike hug her back.

Spike: and Sonata, thanks for the help.

Sonata: well, that dark monster took our pendents, i have to help out somehow.

Spike: that reminds me...

Spike uses his magic to collect the remains of the pendents and form them back to normal.

Spike: here you go.

Sonata: *gasp & grabs her pendent* you fix them!

Adagio & Aria came and gets their pendents too.

Spike: and thanks guys, you really help out.

Flash: no problem.

Sandalwood: always to help out, bro.

Valhallen: happy to help, dude.

Spike nods to them, but then he sense the dark orb, he turn around and looks up to see it floating down.

Sunset: whoa, that's the dark orb?

Pinkie Pie:*shivers* brrr....looking at it gives me the chills.

Spike walks to where it's gonna land, but he extends his hand and the orb lands on his hand, the dark orb disappears inside him.

Spike: got it, and the real me must have the other one, which means that makes six, only one more to go.

Aria: ok, hold on, the real you? what's that mean!?

Spike: wellll....here's the story.

Later, back at the school, in front of the statue, Spike is finishing his explanation.

Spike: so yeah, that's the whole story.

Adagio: wow....that's just....wow.

Aria: the pony of shadows....sounds really evil.

Sonata: can't believe Starswirl the bearded sealed himself & his team to sealed that dark monster away.

Sunset: but from what Twilight told me, she undo the seal AND bring back the pony of shadows.

Spike: yup, from what Discord told me, she really Twilight that up.

Fluttershy: did you just verb her?

Aria: but now that creature is back, but he lost his power after escaping?

Spike: yes, there's one more orb to get, but it's back in my world, i need to go and hurry.

Sunset: i already send a message to Twilight, she'll fire up the contraption.

Spike: good, and hey...human me.

(H)Spike: yeah?

Spike: have fun getting used to this.

(H)Spike: heh, i will. *creates purple fire from his hand*

Spike touches the statue and it glows, meaning that the portal is active, he walks through it and everything became white...........end of memory of clone Spike, we're now with the REAL Spike now, he opens his eyes.

Spike: whoa....what a memory.

???: yes, but now...we must focus on important matters.

Spike: what is it?

???: thanks to you for traveling to that world you've been in before your clone came, the three worlds are going to fall apart.

Spike: .....oh no....

???: but....there is a way, we can erase events that happen in the past, way before that train crash.

Spike: you mean....i won't be—

???: no, not like that, we mean erase and change some events in the past, but yours is unchangeable.

Spike: whew....that's a reilef.

???: so tell us Spike......are you willing to change the past? if you accept....it will change things in all three worlds.

Spike closes his eyes and thinks.....after what felt like hour, he looks up.

Spike: ........i accept.

???: good.....but before we do, you must not tell anyone about this, even your friends & team.

Spike: got it.

???: but there something else you should know, the pony of shadows....he getting his strength back.

Spike: what?!

???: his power is almost back to normal....and if he gets all the dark orbs, he'll become a entirely new creature, and what's worse......his power will nearly become godlike.

Spike: godlike? oh man....that's a big problem.

???: even so, despite that he's a entity of pure darkness, he's supernatural and like all supernatural beings, he has weakness.

Spike: huh?

???: in truth, he was a genie of the lamp.

Spike: a genie?! Pinkie once told me about what they are in a story.

???: yes, and somehow he has escape, he was once a normal pony unicorn, but he was different, he wanted something beyond magic, he believes dark magic is the key.

Spike: so how did he became a genie?

???: after he masters dark magic, he cover himself with it, turning himself into what he is, but we intervene & seal him away in the lamp, he hates it, but to avoid a painful punishment, he must grant the wishes for all pony kind, however.....

Spike: huh? what's wrong?

???: he manages to gather enough dark magic to escape and hide himself away in the well of shade, that's where Stygian found him.

Spike: Stygian? gotta ask Twilight about him.

???: but there is more terrible news, the pony of shadows is taking the magic from innocent ponies and creatures, turning it into dark magic & add it to his own, but.....if we have the lamp that he was sealed in, then we will be able to do it again, but this time.....forever.

Spike: leave it to me AND my friends, we won't let you down!

???: i see....so we were right, you are indeed the legendary purple dragon, a great destiny has been place upon you, we can see it in your eyes.

Spike: heh, me? legendary? you're gonna make me blush!

Suddenly, another voice appears, but this one is male.

???#2: i can tell this dragon here has alot of potential, he even learns that move against the first dark creature.

???: yes, it's amazing since that technique exists in his world.

Spike: oh you mean that kamehameha? to be honest, it just came to me all of a sudden.

???#2: *chuckles* well, you'll find that out by yourself one day, i gotta go.....double K is waiting for me to help him with Bubbles, see ya Spike! move well, study well, play well, eat well,  and rest well!!

The male voice disappears and Spike can't help but feel a little sad.

Spike: huh....i don't know him that much, but i feel like i'm gonna miss him.

???: yes, in his world, he's been alive for 69 years, but it's time for him to go.

Spike: oh....i see.

???: now....Spike....are you ready to head back? you will notice some changes back home.

Spike: i am, let's do this.

???: good luck, oh...by the way, when i say "we," it's more like the "royal we."

Spike: really?

???: yes, *voice changes into a female voice* my name is.....

As everything turns white, Spike heard the last two words the voice said, slowly....he opens his eyes and sees Twilight above him, but in truth....he's lying on Twilight's lap.

Twilight: Spike? Spike, you're awake! *small tears coming out*

Spike: huh? Twilight? what happened?

Twilight: you came out of the portal & you were out for an hour.

Spike: an hour? that didn't felt that long.

Twilight: Spike, what happened over there?

Spike: well, it's a really long story, but let's get everyone here first.

Twilight: right!

Later, the gang's all here & Spike explains everything to them, except for the part about a unknown voice telling him that worlds are almost destroy and needs to be rewritten, but he did tell them about the pony of shadows origin & what has he's been doing while they were collecting the dark orbs, all were in shock, except for Slice, cause he's emotionless but he doesn't like it too.

Steel: ....this....not good.

Saber: this is truly bad, he's getting stronger and we were just doing the dirty work.

Rainbow Dash: why that big piece of....! once i get my hands on him, i'll—!!!

Applejack: calm down Dash!

Pinkie Pie: this is really not okie dokie.

Fluttershy: those poor ponies and creatures!

Starlight: if he keeps on getting magic and turns it into dark magic to return back into his prime, i don't want to even think about how much stronger he'll be once he gets the dark orbs.

Rarity: that dark beast! he'll whatever it takes to get his strength back, even if it means hurting others!

Twilight: i'm still shock about the fact the pony of shadows was once a unicorn, he actually believes dark magic is the key for our world.

Discord: and i'm more concern about he was once a genie.

Slice: hm.

Steel: good idea, but we don't know where is that lamp, Slice! it could be anywhere in the whole world or maybe that dark bastard destroy it or throw it in the lava or something!!

Spike: can we all just relax!? listen, there's one more orb left, if we find it, we'll know what to do with it.

Steel: and what's the plan?

Spike: well....ever heard of the phrase....fight fire with fire?

Saber: wait....are you saying...?

Spike: that's right, i'm going to defeat him with the power of the dark orbs!

Twilight: are you su—

Spike: i'm sure, Twilight....i can do this.

Saber: Spike's right, something tells me we're about face a fight someday.

Discord: i'll go tell this whole thing to the princess and the pillers too.

Spike: thanks Discord, good luck.

Discord teleports away, later(again), Spike, Twilight, Starlight, and his team head back home at Point Village, Spike stands on top of the roof.

Spike: well, the last one is next, after that....i'm coming for you, pony of shadows.

Spike looks up at the stars.

Spike: good luck to you whoever you are, i bet you had a good life, but now......now you can rest in peace, til we meet again.

To be continued.......

Word count: 4615

In the memory of Akira Toriyama 1955-2024
