CHAPTER 5: A CRUSADER RESCUE

Disclaimer: I do not own My Little Pony

-At Ponyville Market-

Twilight trotted at the stands selling the potions to her with a resoanable price as she brought the said potions she can not stop to stare at the sky which had been sunny all day.

Bring back her attention to the basket she had she continue to gather the ingrients needed. The purple unicorn continue to trott back home yet a slight feeling of disrtess keep shaking her like a odd feelings inside of her that she can not ignore.

As each step she make, as each second pass the same thing came to her:

The more she ignore it the more it came back to her: the thought of Spike being a stallion. A second came after her thinking it quickly changed into a daydream

-Twilight's Daydream-

Spike readied himself from the ritual that Twilight created to bring him back to his dragon form but Spike remained upset by her decision. A moment later Spike looked to the purple unicorn slowly stroking her fur

"Twilight don't you want me to remain in my new body?" Spike ask

"But Spike I'm just worring about you, as your care taker I care for you so much and... and..." Her voice trail of

"I love you, you are my first and best companion." she finally let out

Spike just stared at her mouth agape as he was paralysed by Twilight's word

"Even thought I enjoyed myself with my mare friends you remained with my side" She continued

Twilight step nearer to him then she put her forelegs to his neck. She let tears came out of her eyes still bringing herself to reveal her feelings

"But since you love Rarity so much I never had showed you my inner feeling for you but the moment you are born you had brought happiness to me and-"

She was then cut short as Spike pressed his lips to hers. And then she was stunned by the events that unfold still she was happy

"Maybe what I am is different to who am I." He stated

"And what are you?" Twilight ask

"Your knight my love." He then again landed a passionate kiss to her it lasted more than Twilight can remember but unfortunately every dream must come to and end

-End of Day dream-

Reality slowly came to her as she looked at the sky signing "I should really stop reading those romance novels." She told herself

Later she felt a gush of wind brushing throug her mane, checking around she saw three pegasus flying above her, she quickly notice the two, which are Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash but what cause her to drop her basket is the purple stallion carrying a wounded Applejack in her forelegs

She nearly scream at the sight but still manage to keep herself calm... barely

Twilight followed the trail they make as Applejack's blood drip to the ground. Soon many caught the attention of at the sky yet they are too suprise and confuse by the events that just unfold right before them.

Yet unicorns are not known for their speed and stamina so not before long she halted in her tracks as fatigue takes it's toll on her.

-At the hospital-

The moment the four ponies arrived at the hospital many ponies already caught sight of them all are rather confused by their arrival but it then quickly turned into fear the moment they saw the bleeding earth pony.

"We need a doctor!" Spike ordered and not before long a streacher brought by a couple of hospital staffs had took the injured pony to the emergency clinic and after.

Spike let out a sigh of relief as he saw they took Applejack away to the clinic ready to fully heal her wounds.

One of the doctors also grab Rainbow dash by the wing trying to bring her also to the hospital. She resisted no doubt. Even thought stubborn she soon agreed when Spike suggested it as well.

Spike smiled as he know that all his friends are in safety he was about to leave as he heard a mumble from a timid pegaus cause him to halt his flight.

"Um...ah..." Fluttershy mumbled at Spike

"Yes..." He replied

"I forgot to say thank you" Fluttershy quickly turned around blushing crazy at him before running to where Rainbow and Applejack are.

After that Spike smile turned into a poker face as he became dumbstruck by the events.

"Could this be came any more bizarre?" He sarcasticaly spoke

"Maybe Twilight's right I am cursed." He added, he stare at his hooves a second quickly remembering a small task that Twilight gave him.

Then it hit him while he remember the task about getting the mud from the forest and not a second later he flew.

-At the Clinic-

The operation was done very quickly even thought that the blood loss could have killed the mare but the doctors and also
Applejack had to thank the mysterious purple stallion that came to her resque.

"How it going Applejack?" Fluttershy timidly ask

"Fine like the time I woke every morning sugarcube just fine." Applejack replied already trying to get out of the hospital bed but thankfully the doctors reacted and stopped her attemp.

"Yeah thanks to that stallion he would have became dog chow right now." Applejack added and not a moment later she stared at the ceiling slowly becaming loss at her own daydream.

"I know but if would be better I could had ask his name." Fluttershy landed her hooves on her face trying to hide her blush from her friends.

"Yes you should had asked that Shy!" Rainbow suddenly spoke while he approuch the two mares.

"Ow come on Rainbow you saw his wearing war armor he must be a soldier of the princesses or something." Applejack stated

"But I've seen the soldiers' armor and by the looks of it , it's different and I doubt that they just suddenly changed the desigh." Rainbow replied

"So what that makes of him?" Both mares ask the rainbow maned pony

Rainbow run her hoof to her chin "Different armor, saves ponies and stunningly handsome... I got it he is an adventurer!" She cheerfully spoke

The two mares just looked at her in disblief.

"Or better yet a new member of the wonderbolts" she blushed

"Unlikely." The two mares responded

The three then began bickering about the stallion's identity but it was stopped by a sudden flash of light in front of them. The lavender colored unicorn became present in the room and began asking about her friends condition frantically.

"Girls! Girls! What in Celestia happened to you? Did you got attacked? Who did this? And why in the buck are your with-" Twilight asking was cut short due to Rainbow Dash hoof ptressed it in her lips sileincing her.

"Egghead, I your worring about the great Dash and our friends then your wasting your time for nothing." Rainbow spoke

Fluttershy stepped to Twilight side

"Twilight their nothing to worry." The timid pony said

"Yup ya bet we're fine thankfully a brave purple stallion saved our flanks from being dog food." Applejack stated

Twilight raise an eyebrow at earth pony's statement

"Purple stallion, does he have a green mane and light blue armor?"

"Yeah... Wait! How in Esquestria did you know what he is wearing?" Rainbow asked taking steps closer to the lavander unicorn

Twilight began to sweat, her fur instantly covered by it while her heart rate increase it's pace.

"You know something Twilight, you're hiding something." The cyan colored pegasus pointed her hoof to Twilight's position.

"Um... Ah no." Twilight let out but the element of Honesty quickly figured her lie.

"Twilight I am the Element of Honesty and for that I know if someone is lying or not." Applejack stood up taking a space closer to her.

Twilight remained quiet for a brief moment pacing through ideas of telling the truth or hiding it. But she came to an conclusion.

Perhaps it's best to tell them what happened to Spike but not now, not now anyways.

Twilight soon closed her eyes at them taking a small sigh she did "Do you really what to know the truth?" the three mares nodded their heads yes.

"Sorry but not this time." She took a quick bow and before that she teleported away.

"Ahh! That Twilight she's hiding something and I going to bet my Wonderbolt tickets that it had something to do with that mysterios stallion." The rainbow colored mane pegasus stomp the floor vigioriosly.

-Meanwhile back Everfree forest-

Spike trotted the area for the mud which he soon located the said item.

After that he decided to return home but as he flew in the forest path he came to a contact with an item very familiar to him.

It was Applejack's hat, which she could have drop during the wolves attack on them. He quickly retrive it and brushed the dirt away with his hooves.
"I better bring this back to her when me and Twilight are done with the curing spell." He told himself

Spike flew again in the skies and aiming his flight to the library.

Upon arrival the facility is empty, his unicorn pal is still haven't arrive and not a pony is present.

He bring himself upstairs looking once again at Ponyville.

The skies are clear and many ponies are doing there regular chores, nothing out of the ordinary he thought. He was about to go back downstairs when he saw a black smoke coming out from the distance.

His curiosity overtaking him he exited the library to take a better look at the source of the smoke.

Where there is smoke there is fire a message flashed in his mind and his insticks where right about it.

He saw a building, a familiar building , it was the Sugarcube corner and he nearly fainted from what he saw happing to it.

It was in flames, smoke keep appearing from the windows as the fire on the inside blaze through it. His body was halted by both fear and confusion. Yet he keep himself together by all the courage he could muster.

"What did Pinkie did this time?" Spike asked himself a that question only to be his mind to be bambarded by multiple crazy answers. This is Pinkie Pie's home after all.
