Quest 1: Books for Bravery

Spike: So, for my Nightmare Night costume, right? I've been practicing walking on stilts, and Pinkie says she can make me five-hoof long fangs out of sugar!
Edgy Twilight Sparkle: Won't they melt if they're in your mouth all night...?
Spike: WAAAAUUUUUGH!!! Who are you and what have you done with Twilight?!
Edgy Twilight Sparkle: Spike! It's me! It's almost Nightmare Night... this is my costume... Are you okay? Lately you've been jumping at every sound Owlowiscious makes in the night!
Spike:O-Oh, uh, yeah! Of course! I guess, maybe, SOMETIMES, the cReEpy-ness of Nightmare Night makes me a little... jumpy?
Edgy Twilight Sparkle: That's putting it lightly! Listen, are you SURE you want to come to our Frightful Fête on Nightmare Night? Discord said he's gonna make it REALLY scary... but I'm worried about you.

Quest 2: Dealings with Discord...

Edgy Twilight Sparkle: Oh, this one's a classic! It's called... "The Headless Hatless Horse's Hatless Head"...
Spike: A-Actually, maybe I'll try another book. This one's too... boring! Here's one called "Frankenfilly"! Let's see, it's about a mad scientist who makes a living creature out of... Uh...
Spike: Oh, no. A-Am I really such a scaredy-dragon?! If these little bundles of paper are freaking me out, Discord's party is gonna scare me outta my wits...
Discord: You rang, baby dragon?
Spike: YAAAAGH! O-Oh, it's you, Discord! Sorry... I guess Twilight was right I AM feeling a little jumpy. Or, maybe more than a "little"...
Discord: Hmmm... I think I may have a solution to your issue. It's unconventional, but this IS me you're dealing with. How about you meet me somewhere more... discreet?

Battle 1: Twilight Terror! (Minions)

Spike: Whuh-huh...? I just got really dizzy for a sec, but--Whoa! Is it Nightmare Night already?! I gotta finish my costume!
Spike: If Discord made me conk out to give me some kinda meaningful dream... it didn't work. Oh, hey Twilight! Can you help me with--
Edgy Twilight Sparkle: ... Who are you?
Spike: Huh...?! It's me, Spike! Your bestest friend and greatest assistant ever? ... Heyyy, is this a prank?
Edgy Twilight Sparkle: Ugh. Sorry, but you're, like, way too noisy and cheerful to be in my presence. It's kind of making me sick? I'm gonna have to put you in your place if you don't leave me alone...
Spike: W-W-W-WAAAAIT! Twilight seriously wants to fight me?! What's gotten into her?!

Battle 2: The Dark Queen (Minions)

Edgy Twilight Sparkle: Heh... For such a little guy, I have to admit, you really held your own. Tell me, were you scared?
Spike: O-O-Of course not! Wh-Why would I be scared that my best friends are acting super weird and want to beat the stuffing out of me?
Edgy Rarity: Best friends? Darling, I really don't have any idea what you're talking about...
Edgy Twilight Sparkle: Right? But if he ACTUALLY wasn't scared... No, I don't believe him. We'll have to show him something even MORE terrifying.
Edgy Rarity: Well, 'tis the season, as they say. I know somepony who will do nicely for our purposes. Or should I say... some-changeling?
Spike: D-Discord, if you're listening, NOW would be a good time to get me out of here!!!
Spike: No way... Is that QUEEN CHRYSALIS? Um, hello?! Why isn't anypony FREAKING OUT?! She's in Ponyville we've gotta stop her before she starts taking over!

Edgy Queen Chrysalis: Heh! Pathetic as you are, I GUESS I could call that a worthy battle. You might even be worth my time...!
Edgy Rarity: Hah! Big words for the Queen of the Bugs. I'll admit, darling, you ALMOST smudged my eye shadow.
Spike: A-Am I going nuts? Why are you all getting along?! That's the evil queen of the changelings you guys are paling around with!
Edgy Twilight Sparkle: (Sigh...) The baby dragon doesn't get it...
Spike: Hey! I'm tired of you calling me a baby, Twilight... Whether you're in that silly costume or not, you're always underestimating me! I'm outta here...
Spike: M-Maybe I shouldn't have wandered off...! Those scary spirits aren't real, right? I-It's just a Nightmare Night trick... RIGHT? HEEEELP!

Spike: D-D-D-DISCORD! You GOTTA get me out of here! I did NOT want to spend my Nightmare Night in some creepy dimension where everypony is scary and topsy-turvy and EVIL!
Edgy Discord: Oh, not "evil," my small and feisty friend: "edgy"! There's a subtle difference, you see
Spike: Wait. What are you wearing...? A-Are you one of "them" ?
Edgy Discord: What?! I'm fitting in! It's called "FASHION," Spike. Sheesh. Now I get why they're all so exasperated with you...
Edgy Trixie: And just what are you two jokers joking about? You're harshing the Edgy & Awesome Trixie's immaculately umbral vibe...
Edgy Trixie: But a master of malevolent magycks such as myself has the cure for creatures like you. How about a battle against your most twisted rivals?
Spike: Hey... Discord? I know you're scared of Eris or whatever, but I could REALLY use some help with the worst and scariest tyrant Equestria has ever seen...!

King Sombra: Hmph. A fine battle. Silly and off-putting though you two may be, combat such as THIS is what keeps me interested! A... worthy performance, Princess Amore.
Spike: Even THEY'RE getting along? And hey, why is Sombra here anyway?! I thought we put a stop to him... TWICE!
Edgy Princess Amore: I'm confused at you, little dragon... isn't it much COOLER to keep such intense and epic power in one's presence, to fully experience? To appreciate?
Edgy Trixie: All that aside... what's with your victory quip? Lame! It's not cool at all. I mean, seriously, try a one-liner! Strike a pose, at least! Ugh!
Spike: ... Something tells me I'm not gonna get common sense out of anypony. Now that I think on it, wouldn't the only shining ray of light and silliness in this edgy world be... Pinkie Pie?
Edgy Pinkie Pie: Did somepony summon me? I was just about to go hoof-to-miserable-hoof with Tempest Shadow... She tells the EDGIEST jokes!

Spike: I-I just don't get it! I've BEEN to dimensions where the good guys are bad, and the bad guys are good, but this place is way more complicated... I can't make heads or scales of it.
Edgy Fluttershy: Oh, dear. You're so pathetically confused that I almost want to help you...
Spike: Fluttershy?! Even YOUR words cut deep...
Edgy Fluttershy: Listen. Here, the creatures with the coolest and most extreme powers, and the deepest darkest pasts, are... well, they're just the best.
Edgy Fluttershy: It's like... we all feel stronger because of them.
Spike: Huh? But... what if you lose to them, and they do something really evil? Aren't you afraid?
Edgy Fluttershy: Um... I guess. But being edgy is about being... honest.
Edgy Fluttershy: It's all about confidence, even when you think you'll fail... and acting so cool, that it doesn't even matter if you DO fail.
Spike: You know, that's actually starting to make sense...? Would you mind showing me how YOU do it, Fluttershy?
Spike: *gulp* ... Okay... so battling a True Umbrum and a Tantabus is possibly the most terrifying thing I can think of... BUT, I-I've got friends by my side. All I need to do is give it my all... right?

Spike: (Ahem ) Heh! That was nothin'. I totally took up the sword of of... light... against the, uh, darkness of despair?
Edgy Princess Luna: ... Pffft!
Spike: P-Princess Luna! Eheh, I should've known you'd be here... Maybe I'm just not cut out for this "edgy" thing.
Edgy Princess Luna: No, that actually wasn't half bad... You certainly do not look the part, but you may have a certain edge about you. What do you say, my darkly radiant sister?
Edgy Princess Celestia: Hmm... I can just barely sense it, but it's there. Perhaps we can seize that murky seed and allow it to germinate in the soil of souls?
Spike: That sounds... fun? Um, nice duds by the way, you two
Edgy Princess Luna: True edge is confronting the darkness INSIDE of you, and making peace with it... letting it become a part of you. Here, if you insist on staying around, we'll show you what we mean.
Spike: Luna and Celestia, helping me battle the most nefarious parts of themselves?! Say, that IS pretty cool... But it'll be even cooler if we can get through it in one piece!

Spike: If I think about myself... I'm a dragon between two worlds, and I don't really belong to either. Always an outsider... a loner... and a lover, too!
Spike: Heh, even though that's kinda one-sided... but I've been on so many dangerous missions and adventures, how could I let that bother me?
Spike: I'm a danger-defying magical creature, searching for where I belong! Using friendship for strength! Hey, that's AWESOME. What do I have to be afraid of?!

■ AFTER THE END OF THE EVENT

Spike: YEAHHH! I'M AWESOOOO Oh? Things are looking a little less edgy suddenly. Am I back in regular ol' Ponyville?
Edgy Discord: Yes, WE are. And that newfound confidence better have been worth the trouble! ... Because it WAS a lot of trouble.
Spike: Aww, don't feel too bad, Discord. You look really cool, and you've gone through a ton of dark and twisted character development, right?
Edgy Discord: Eheh... well, when you put it that way...
Edgy Twilight Sparkle: Spike! Oh, thank Celestia I found you! I wanted to apologize for how I was acting... you're not a scaredy-dragon, and of COURSE I want you to come to our Nightmare Night party...
Spike: Wait, where's your costume? I thought you were really excited about it!
Spike: Ehh, I think I'd rather just be myself this year, along with all the good and bad that entails. Yeah, that's right, I have a cool backstory and I'm STILL cheerful!
Edgy Twilight Sparkle: Um. That's surprisingly introspective for you, Spike. But it's also kind of... cool. Maybe even... edgy?! Ah, but we better leave that to the pros...
