"We’ll do that too, but for now, Apple Bloom needs help," Spike said with a mix of determination and nervousness at her vehemence. With a nod, Applejack went back into the ring and Spike approached the double doors and opened them. Upon traversing a hallway or two he came to a red wall of energy.
The creature in question resembled Miss Cheerilee but she looked like some kind of black gecko-like monster with a cone shaped face that bobbed back to stare at them. The tip of a long tongue slithered out to whip at the air before the creature climbed into a hole in the ceiling.
“I guess we know what the tendril came from now…” Spike said, trying to conceal his fear.
“We call her the substitute creature…” a voice from behind Spike said and he spun to see the three gruesome fillies staring at him coldly.
That's new!?
“Get back in there or ah’m coming out of this ring!” Applejack scolded and Spike sighed and went back. Carefully he opened the door and saw no sign of the substitute creature. Moving quickly, he rounded a corner, collecting some soul shards. Spike opened a set of doors and found some more gems, but as he moved in to collect them, a tongue wrapped around the baby dragon and lifted him into the air.
Applejack, STOP pressuring him! Plus, WTF are you gonna do? You're still a ghost/spirit, stupid!
A giant figure emerged from the shadow, a monster that was bigger than Big Mac and looked more powerful as well. And its head… it had three! Zombloom on the left and Scootabat on the right with Sweetie Doom in the middle.
“Time for the teacher’s pet to come in! The Crusaberus!” the three-headed monstrosity growled.
“Seriously?! A three-headed monster?!” Spike exclaimed.
Wait a minute?! You STOLE the Joy Joy Gang's boss form!!!!
Now what are you going to do, when you reach their own level eventually?
Well…nice reference to the Agatha fight from the newer updates. I can’t wait to see how Spike does against the Gold Watchers.
Don't forget Sweetie and Scootaloo.

Makes sense that the CMC will be Agatha, and Mrs. Cheerilee's preschool is the the Haunted School of the second level/portal.
