At what was once Canterlot Castle, but now home to the Draconic Empire Spike walked around the palace he now ruled. Ever since Twilight had gone dark, things had changed. Friends had become enemies, and old enemies had been forced to become friends. Truly times were changing. Spike hated that Celestia, Luna had ascended, and that Cadence had been murdered. Annoyed he breathed fire and lit up the torches in the Canterlot Castle that had belonged to Celestia, Spike sighed. Twilight was powerful enough to pose a threat that couldn't be stopped by conventional means. Even though she'd turned Discord to Stone, Spike had a plan on how he could free Discord.
Sighing, Spike walked through the castle to the Courtyard where Discord had been turned to stone. Closing his eyes, Spike began to inhale deeply... building up a massive burst of fire-breath within him but charging it with energy, energy that would allow Discord to be freed from his prison. Even though he didn't trust the Lord of Chaos, they'd need all hands on deck in order to stop this madness.
"Discord, it's time you made yourself useful. We must re-awaken the Elements of Harmony and put Twilight's Eternal Reign to an end. She has lost herself... she's no longer my friend or sister."
As he said this, Spike would also use his abilities as Dragon Lord to give a summons to any dragons who could answer his call, to come and aid them.
