I feel kinda sorry for Spike. I mean, yes, he did fail spectacularly, but he was going up against a superpowered alicorn with a literal talent for destruction. The amount of spells she could possibly throw at him should be enough to wipe out an entire nation.



Still though, really, Spike? You'd think he'd consider that, essentially being Twilight's next of kin and being raised by her, he should have tried to somehow neutralise her powers.
