Sequels1

Source

Tirek has won his fight against Twilight and decides to ensure his victory in full instead of storming off to destroy Equestria. Too bad there is someone that can stop him.

Now Spike is forced to act to protect his friends thanks to someone doing something that wasn't in the plans of Celestia. Rather impressive considering no one else had tried to do the same before.

By looking at the cover art, I am expecting something One-Punch-Man-ish.
Hey, I'm the first who saw this. Cool.

Quite enjoyed this. like you said a fun what if story.

Thumbs all the way up!

honestly I was seen it as something more Toriyama like until the ending.

Mostly because the difference would be that if he did, he probably would have blown the planet up in a hissy fit instead.

(maybe that's because I've been on Dragonball kick and never seen OMP)

Good story. Would read sequel

I want a sequel just to explain Spike's powers.

:raritywink: generous

I want a full story revolving around this so badly.

The man on the cover art. He looks like that bald anime meme man and Jack Noir had a baby. I'm not okay with this.

“Did Twilight win?” One of many tense problems in there. The flippant tone was amusing and carried over from the source to here fairly well.

Short and funny. I would love to see how he deals with Starlight Glimmer :ajsmug:

Not knowing what OnePunch Man is, I really thought that Spike was just acting really well, and that his scales are particularly magic-resistant. I honestly thought he had scared Tirek by acting confident in his own abilities.

There must be more! This is hilarious! I would love for a full story!

Well...That was amusing

"How... HOW ARE YOU SO STRONG?"

"Now I will tell you the secret... My secret."

"It took me four seasons to get this strong."

"100 dusted bookshelves!"
"100 pins in the back!"
"100 apple baskets lifted!"
"Then, a few laps around Ponyville... Every single day!"

"And of course, make sure you eat three meals a day. Just an emerald is okay in the morning."

"But the most important thing..."
"Never to use magic for comfort, even in summer or winter to strengthen the mind."

"In the beginning you'll wish you were dead."

"You might be thinking 'what's the harm in taking the day off?' "

"But for me, in order for me to help my friends, no matter how tough it was... Even if I was passing out dizzy, I never stopped."

"I kept dusting shelves, even when my arms felt like lead and climbing the ladder was impossible."

"Even when the pins started cracking scales, I kept slient."

"Two seasons later, I started to notice the change..."

"I was bald! ...Well. My scales fell out..."

"But I had become stronger!"

"In other words, you have to train like tartarus to the point your scales fall out!"

"That's the only way to become strong!"

"Guys like you, fooling around with stealing Everpony's magic, or conquering Equestria will NEVER get this far!"

"I am strong because I have the ability to change myself!"

He is Spitama, but the world knows him as... One Punch Dragon!

This was... amusing. +1

I would LOVE to read his expanation

So Spike is Saitama and Tirek is a more intelligent version of Carnage Kabuto. Not bad, but I'd certainly like to know the secret to his power.

6788491 Nice!

6788532 Why thank you!

6788566 6788720 6789572 6789106 6791176 6791902 6791552 There will be a sequel later on.

6788968 Thanks!

6789867 Sorry, couldn't find a better pic XD. And that is Spike wearing Saitama's hero costume.

6790043 Thank you, I did it as best as I could!

6790620 Get wrecked. Short answer XD.

6790893 Now I'm kind of sad I never thought of that earlier.

6791201 Glad you liked it!

6791241 encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRkF1hemyQOBCyzt3I6pAuumCXW_tqsnvMW_xIW3avZi-hmQm9gBw

6791327 Hell yeah.

6791408 Thanks, I'm happy it was to your liking!

6791956 Hell, I'm mad that I didn't either. I think it might be due to being hatched by magical means and then being hit with immensely powerful magic turning him into an adult-sized dragon gave him some crazy resistances to everything. I'm planning on using it in my story to make him very difficult to hurt and make him much more like a Dragon type.

“Did Twilight won?”

*win

I am greatly amused because the episode this references happens to be the only OPM episode I've ever seen, so I'm actually not confused. And I only watched it because it was part of the preshow in a livestream for another show.

6792308 OPM? Also, fixed that.

ok you get a like and a follow just on the premise alone. also Moar please

I already told you the secret to his power.

100 Dusted Book Shelves
100 Pins in his back (as Rarity's pincushion)
100 lifted apple baskets
and several laps around ponyville...

Every single day.

Interesting. If I may I'd like to speculate a bit... it's fun.

First, I don't think we've ever seen a time when magical spells have ever been used against Spike except when he was willing to allow them to affect him. (Dressing Spike up in a top hat and mustache comes to mind, as does Rarity's blinging him out in "Inspiration Manifestation.") Desire to be effected seems to play out in much of this. Spells that capture the girls also can capture him because he doesn't want to be separated from them.

Second, in that same, previously mentioned episode he digested.... literally digested a magical tome of immense power that was also tremendously corrupting. He hasn't suffered any known ill effects from that as yet. He could probably swallow the Alicorn Amulet and feel no pain. As he eats gems, and they are often a repository for magic, any magic he swallows is absorbed by the crystalline nature of his blood.

Third, I don't recall any time we've seen him in bandages. Dragon hide is obviously quite tough. Fire doesn't harm him and I'm not sure other elements would have much of an impact on him. What about Trixie turning him into a basketball in "Magic Duel?" Well, he wasn't physically altered so much as compressed into a spherical shape. I think that hint's at the malleability of dragon scales and hide, adding to his basic indestructibility. She obviously trapped him within a small, transparent sphere. Why would he allow it? Probably because he was still learning what could and couldn't effect him.

Fourth, we've seen what a fully mature Spike looks like in "Secret of My Excess." Noticeably, he's more wingless drake than Dragon and could probably give Godzilla a run for his money. In this episode he also showed he was resistant to pony magic.

Putting this all together, I would speculate that Spike is magic resistant at will. It's a power he slowly came to understand, probably by reading a lot of Twilight's books. When he desires, he can easily bat aside any destructive energy, be it magic or something else. More than this, he probably has the ability to act as a capacitor. Anything thrown at him can be countered and hurled back with either the same, or amplified strength. This is why he doesn't use much magic himself, as he mentioned in the story, but he is fully able to stand up to Tirek, whether attacked magically or physically. (If the bad guy stomps on him, the kinetic energy is absorbed then reflected right back at the attacker.) This gives him an awesome power and doesn't require much use of magic on his part. It also supports the One-punch man concept if he did actually store and release absorbed energy as desired.

Obviously if you are a villain, your best course of action when confronting Spike the Dragon is to ignore him. Of course, ignoring him would, over time, become harder and harder to do as he matures into a full sized drake.

Makes me wonder who the equivalent of Genos would be...

This was really good. I think more could come of it.

6792323
OPM=One Punch Man

6792323 Also,

Discord got his just desserts

*just deserts, unless there's a ice cream shop nearby :raritywink:

Edit: I just realised it's a pun.

I admit until the end i was unsure whether you were going for one-punch man or for full powered ichigo from bleach, as Aizen accused ichigo of turning all his spiritual pressure into pure physical strength.

Looking back on it, both both shows have almost the exact same scene actually.

Will you please stop writing good shit?

Scratch that; write on!

He’s stronger than me.

At that moment Tirek knew.

He fucked up.

This makes so much sense.... and I can't tell why!

6793516
Probably because your a Spike fan.

Absolutely fantastic. This really got the speculation going and my mind won't stop churning out ideas.

Would really love a continuation of this. Hopefully one day. :ajsmug:

You get a fav/follow/favorite from me!

Cool story!

So, I'm not the only one that wants some kind of continuation of this, right?

That was beautiful. Why can't we have more stuff like this? :raritydespair:

Now I wanna watch Saitama make Kabuto explode again!

6792683
Just desserts is the standard phrase. Just deserts doesn't mean anything.

Noticeably, he's more wingless drake than Dragon and could probably give Godzilla a run for his money

Saying that he could give Godzilla a run for his money means you don't know Godzilla at all. Also you're probably overthinking this. It's a fanfic, and let it be a fanfic.

But again, ekhidna probably used "just desserts" as a pun to the "icing on the cake".
