"Origato jacion persvek"("Let him in".) a voice said in a strange different language ordering one of his guards to escort a prisoner to a disclosed location room. The prisoner was wearing a ragged robe covering his whole body while his face was all covered in paint which appears to have an appearance of a skeleton. The guards escorted the prisoner to an empty seat with a medium sized round table positioned in front of him. The prisoner looked across from him seeing another dragon who wore the same plated armor, but saw that he had more protection than the others, the prisoner started to believe he was much more of a higher rank than the rest of the others in the room. He saw the rank officer placed a candle on the table. And the only response the prisoner left was a small chuckle which seems to irritate one of the guard’s.
"Zey fahvos nii ful moorus!"("Mind telling me why it so funny!")The guard shouted at the prisoner irritated.
"I will tell you why it's funny. If you allow me to tell you my story. You may also, in fact, want to take a seat. First..."The prisoner replied to them with a calm demeanor. "Where to begin...?"
Narration-"Ok where to begin? Right. right. Before all of this happened… My name isSpike, It all begins when my egg was found. I was used as a test for Celestia's school for gifted unicorns. My egg hatched by a unicorn filly, I was soon adopted by her family, who I still respect to this day. The more I began to live among ponies. It was starting to get difficult, but over the years I started to get used to it; a few years later the unicorn and I moved from Canterlot to a small town called “Ponyville”.
The unicorn I was close to. Her whose name being “Twilight Sparkle” by the way was tutored by Princess Celestia herself. Always worried, always studying so hard. So much so the princess told Twilight and I to go to the small town Ponyville. At first, Twilight didn't cooperate. However, she so came to terms starting to make friends who were later to become the Element Bearers of Harmony.
Her friends' names are Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, and Rarity. In that order, they were the Element of Honesty, Loyalty, Kindness, Laughter, Generosity. I must not forget about Twilight who is the also an element bearer, she is the most important! The Element of Magic! While living in Ponyville for the past few months; I've been getting strange dreams that I never told any of my friends about.
The first dream I had was about me as a noble knight; wearing the brightest armor that covered my scales wielding a large sword and shield performing deeds no pony would ever make.
My second dream was that of I; a powerful wizard casting spells that were so powerful and so difficult that unicorns wouldn’t even bother trying to conjure up, and all of Equestria couldn't even master. This dream was strange but I'm still scared of it to this day.
I also dream't that I was an evil warrior, leading my troops out of Tartarus towards a kingdom watching everyone,everything, die around me. I even saw myself carrying the flag of the kingdom as it caught on fire between my claws laughing as my troops butchered everyone.
But now, the story begins from the beginning. I know why I am here for. So to begin, I must tell you everything before all of this happened......
Equestria-Before the events
"Spike wake up! I need you to go outside for a while,"Twilight said to Spike groaning after hearing her voice and did his best to ignore her while still snuggling the pillow. "Spike come on!"
*Groan* “Twilight just five more minutes!" Spike continued to groan until hearing Twilight's hoof stomp the floor loudly making his spines shiver.
"Okay okay! I'm going!" Spike blurted bolting up quickly towards the door after Spike left the library he decided to sit up on the bench outside where the Library was close by,Until he saw the girls chatting with each other. Spike waved towards them to catch their attention, no pony even bothered to throw a glance his way. They entered the library. Spike thought for a bit because for some reason they didn't even try to talk to him or even seen him.
*20 minutes later*
Spike waited and waited outside the library for Twilight to finish whatever she was working on. The more he waited; becoming minutes then turning to hours. While growing curious because he wanted to know what Twilight and the girls discovered. He kept staring at the library again, but boredom already kicked in, he kept thinking on what they were talking about privately, he knew it was big deal due to the fact she got him out of the library in a hurry; but still without telling him made Spike even more curious. Twilight even called the girls over and they never bothered to talk to him or even bother to look at him. Spike sighs again after knowing that. He slumped over getting off the bench.
"I can't wait any longer! I'm sorry Twilight but being too bored out of my mind is punishment,” Spike mumbled under his breath doing a quick walk around Ponyville. "When Twilight finds out about something she always tells me first anyway. I don't know what's happening, but clearly, something is wrong.” Spike kept mumbling to himself again, as he wandered around Ponyville.
Spike walked around Ponyville more while familiar faces who went past him showing a few kind greets, however. Spotting a merchant who he had never seen before selling some mysteries merchandise.
"Step right up everypony! For I have items that are rare in Equestria!” The merchant shouted gaining the attention of everypony around until his hoof shot out pointing directly at Spike. "You there little dragon can I interested you in a magic cane or a potion to make any mare fall in love with you?"
"No thanks, but I’m just here to browse," Spike replied back. "What other things do you got for sale that doesn't cost bits?"
"Hmm..." The merchant took a long time thinking while looking over his Items until something caught his eye. "Ah! How about this medallion! It may be a relic, but I will sell it to you for 30 gems,"
"30 gems!" Spike gasped when he heard the price. Spike eagerly placed his paws on the medallion to see if it was real. once he grabbed it for some reason he couldn't stop eyeing it. The metal was jet black and the gem on the center had some marking on it making the diamond shine as it was reflected by the sun glaze. "It's beautiful..."
"One of a kind little dragon even I never have seen markings like this before." The merchant explained.
"How did you get it?" Spike asked interestedly.
"Well... it was handed to me by some fella. This fella who seems to be a few years older than you yet he wore robes that covered his entire body and a hood that cover his face, but he did say something that puzzles me?"
"That is?" Spike asked leaning in closer.
"Give it to someone who is worthy." The merchant said in a whisper but notice who he was talking to. "Wait? Are you Spike? The dragon who saved the Crystal Empire?! You know the princesses I bet?"
"Yeah... Why?" Spike asked raising a confused brow.
"All I need is a favor from you. I need you take the medallion to the princess so you can find out what it is."(The merchant puts the medallion on Spike's neck.) "Do this favor for me and it's yours free of charge," The merchant said to Spike who was stunned from hearing such an offer.
"Really! I'll make sure the princess will see this! I have to tell Twilight so we can get a trip to Canterlot and thank you. "Spike said starting to run towards the library. "Twilight I need to show you something!" Spike cried out entering the room where Twilight and his friends were in.
"Spike! I told you to wait outside!" Twilight said to Spike however once Spike showed Twilight the medallion her eyes widen. "Spike where in Equestria did you get this! I’ve never seen anything like it before!" Twilight cried out in excitement starting to bounce on her hooves.
"Indeed this medallion is unique! I doubt I’ve ever seen any marking like this before! Where did you get this!?” Rarity loudly asked Spike while her eyes still continued to gaze over the medallion.
"A merchant will let me have it if I do this one favor. All I need to do is show this to Princess Celestia, and the medallion is mine!" Spike cheerfully explained.
"All right! Another visit to the princess!" Rainbow Dash enthusiastically hoof bumped the air. No pony noticing that Spike kept eyeing the markings of the medallion. The more he kept examining it. The more his head felt strange.
"This Medallion, why do I feel like I’ve seen it before?”Spike thought as he looks closer to the gem. The gem started to gleam from the sun's light that came from the window reflecting up into Spike's face.
"Careful Spike! You could really hurt your eyesight from how bright the gem is!" Twilight scolded Spike who remained silent. "Spike are you ok?"Twilight asked with some concern. Spike’s silence made her feel uneasy.
"You don't have to ignore us, Spike!" Rainbow Dash yelled at him and quickly flying towards him. Rainbow Dash place a hoof on Spike's shoulder to see if he would flinch but instead causing Spike to collapse on the floor like a lifeless corpse. Twilight and the others stood there silent for a second until they heard screams that could be heard all across Equestria. Instantly they rushed towards the baby dragon who appeared to not be breathing at all.
"Spike! Spike! Girls, what is wrong with him!?" Twilight shouted out in shock while holding Spike in her arms. Twilight turned to the girls. All of their eyes were and their bodies were shaking. Rainbow Dash wanted to speak however struggled making only to start stuttering incomprehensible words. So the only way she could reply was with her hoof shaking still pointing at Spike for some reason. Twilight followed where Dash's hoof was pointing at and was speechless herself when she saw Spike's iris started glowing blue.
"Argh! My head! Twilight what hap-" Spike paused for a bit and started to realize that he was not in the Library, he was in Canterlot Castle but noticed something different. The castle was empty. No flowers in the garden, no furniture, there weren't even guards or castle staff around anywhere around within the castle.
"Hello! Is anypony here? Princess Celestia, Princess Luna? Where are you!?" Spike yelled out calling for assistance to see if somepony out there.
"Hello! Is somepony out there!," A voice said which left Spike frightened, but making him curious at the same time. He started searching around the castle from top to bottom, trying to follow where the voice had come from which lead to a door; but noticed that this door was never in the Canterlot castle that he remembered. For as long as he could remember about the castle he knew for sure that it doesn't even exist. He heard something behind the door so Spike leaned in closer to it. Pressing his ear to the door.
At first, he heard nothing, but then he started to hear sobbing which sounded like a distressed mare. Spike begins to worry and starts pulling on the door immediately trying to open it but was stuck. "Don't worry I'm here! J-Just stay where you are I'll get you out I promise! Spike said to whoever was in there but then the sobbing stopped. The only sound now… was dead silence.
"Hello! Hello!" Spike kept shouting but still heard nothing which started to worry him further. "Oh no! Stay with me okay!" Spike shouted as he tried to budge the door. The more he heard the silent air, his heart started to quicken its beats.
"Come on! Come on! Why can't I open this stupid door!" Spike kept continuing until he pulled the knob as hard as he could causing the door along with him to crash into a wall almost instantly.
Spike looked inside room seeing only pitch black darkness. "Where is she!" Spike exclaimed looking around swiftly his head sweeping left to right in a quick succession. Until he heard a giggle. Spike turned around to see an alicorn appear. Behind him placing a hoof on Spike's chest making him blush.
"Right here!"She said forcing a kiss to Spike’s forehead and pushing him into the dark room screaming.
Spike looked up and saw the alicorn had disappeared. Then a bright light appeared under him. Spike closed his eyes but felt his legs land on something which felt like the ground, but there was no floor. Spike opened his eyes to see his surroundings. It looked like he was standing in the night sky itself, noticing that there were seats and a table with a book that laid on top of it.
"Where am I? This place is j-just crazy, h-how am I still alive?" Spike asked aloud observing his starry surrounding which looks like he was on ‘again’ the night sky.
"This is Elysium," The dark alicorn stated appearing right behind him again for the second time. When Spike saw her he immediately walked straight towards her.
"What's the big idea pushing me into room!? I could have been hurt, or killed you know!? I was going help you when I heard you crying! I thought you were in trouble!" Spike yelled at her while she continued to smile down to him. "And what are you smile all of a sudden!?”
"So you will save an innocent girl in an exchange for a kiss?" The alicorn asked leaving Spike blushing once more. "I doubt you heard of the Hero of Equestria," The alicorn said which made Spike confused.
"What does this have to do with me? I heard a lot of heroes about ponies you should have called Twilight for that," Spike said with a flat expression trying to dispose of his blush.
"I called you here to understand that you are the reincarnation of a hero, a hero who made Celestia believe in loyalty and trust,” The alicorn explained nodding her head gravely. "No pony in history knows the dragon's name, but what he accomplished in his life made him forgotten… as a legend…”
"Yeah right! So you’re just saying that I was once that hero who saved Equestria!? A long time ago? That just-um how to put this... really unbelievable and a pack of lies!" Spike snapped at the alicorn who just sighed shaking her head.
"What I'm telling you isn't lies young Spike, you must accept what I am telling you as the truth.” The alicorn explained to Spike who turned around not paying attention anymore. "You will soon find out who you are or where you came from, but if you denied then. I could send you back?” The alicorn said which made Spike turn back around to face her.
"No, wait! I'll do it! So....by the way since you know my name what's yours?”
"My name is Aurora, ruler of the Elysium," She replied back to seeing Spike's eyes widen.
"Oh…”
Chapter 2 The Mysterious Truth Revealed! (Reedited)
While learning about Aurora seemed strange to me. The more she explained the more I understood. Clearing up more than anything. But what troubles me is telling my friends what I experienced. Will they panic? Treat me more different or fear me even? Thinking of myself more of a stranger or an outcast towards them, that was the reason I kept my nightmares a secret.
"What in the world is Elysium, Aurora? I never heard of it or at least read about it," Spike said to Aurora.
"What is Elysium? Spike, it is a paradise where certain favored heroes are worthy coming here after their death.The reason why no equestrian has ever heard of it is that they weren't worthy," Aurora explained to Spike. While a confused look appeared on his face.
"B-but I'm not dead! I just took a glance at the gem on the medallion! I never have seen a gem like that and when it glowed, it led me here… Aurora please tell me why am I really here?" Spike begged frightened.
"You are here Spike because I summoned you here. To learn what you are in the first place. You have to discover the past, your past. I knew that you would get the medallion in the first place." Aurora explained. "You were the first hei-dragon in history to actually become a hero; due to the fact that dragons were feared all across Equestria. I will give you a chance to see what you achieve in your past life. Hopefully in a few days."
"T-That's awesome!" Spike cried out in surprise to hear such news.
"Indeed it is, but in the meantime, I'm sending you back to your friends, they must be worried about you," Aurora explained once more. "Just look at the gem again in the medallion and you will be here, but you will have to wait for a few days until it will light up again."
"I-I, thank you Aurora,” Spike said gratefully.
"There just one thing I have to tell you before you leave since I told you who you were in your past life, you will be to have his memories, personality, and his abilities when you come visit Elysium,” Aurora said placing her hoof on Spike's forehead.
Spike looked down under his feet seeing a bright circle with the same markings that the medallion hand and in an instance everything went black.
"Spike wake up! Wake up!" a familiar voice was heard as Spike regained consciousness. Spike's eyes opened wide seeing a concerned Twilight along with the rest of the girls who were around him.
"Hey! Somepony help him up!" Rainbow Dash said loudly getting the rest of the girls to start helping up and off the ground.
"Spike? Are you okay? Just what happened to you?" Twilight asked Spike frantically looking him over.
"I-I don't even know Twilight," Spike replied uncertainly to Twilight. Spike paused for a bit to remember however something hit him. "Twilight have you ever heard or read of the Hero of Equestria?" He said suddenly.
"Well, hmm..." Twilight went over to her shelve trying to find whatever book Spike was talking about. "I have a book about heroes in Equestria, is there anypony you’re looking for?" Twilight asked Spike curiously as she pulled a large book from her shelf. "Why Spike? Something you want to share with us?" She asked interestedly.
"There is one hero who seems to know Celestia for a long time, his actions inspired Celestia about loyalty and... I just need to find out who he is," Spike explained to Twilight who kept flipping through the pages of work.
"Spike, the hero you are mentioning about is not in this book," Twilight said seeing Spike’s head sink down, she felt bad but continued to answer his question. "Why Spike? What race was he, Equestrian? Griffon?" She didn’t like seeing Spike sad this way.
"You are not going to believe this but he's actually a dragon," Spike said hearing a noise. Turning his head to the direction of the noise seeing Fluttershy immediately behind Rainbow Dash.
"D-did you say dragon!" Fluttershy squeaked frightened starting to shake. Spike forgot not to mention “dragons” they always seem to freak her out.
"Spike stop joking around! You know how Fluttershy feels about dragons!" Rainbow Dash scolded Spike.
"I'm not joking!” Spike yelled at Rainbow Dash. "How could I joke about something at a time like this! I might find out about who or what I am!" Spike puffed and huffed angrily.
"Spike, what in tarnation are you talking about?" Applejack calmly asked in confusion with the rest of the girls.
Spike gulped. "Way to blow it, Spike. Should I really tell them? What will they think if I tell them that I was that hero that lived over a thousand years ago?" Spike thought for a bit and only to say a few words from his mouth.
"I-I can't.”
"Spike, are you keeping something from us?" Twilight asked him quizzically but he remained quiet. "Spike please tell us why you’re spacing out. You’re starting to worry us, we just want to help," Twilight spoke softly.
Spike sighed heavily "W-When I glance at the medallion's gem it was glowing for all of you but for me, it actually took me inside the medallion. Spike explained to them. "While inside... it was talking to me showing me what it looked like within Canterlot castle; but was empty and for some reason, nopony was around. Celestia, Luna, the guards, heck even the furniture was gone." Spike continued to explain. "I check around the castle to see if I had missed anypony, although I stopped searching. And that was when I heard her cry."
"Heard who cry?" Pinkie Pie asked hopping up and down with a pinky kind of sound effect. She was really interested along with the rest of the girls.
"I heard a voice of a mare who seemed to have been in trouble, so I followed the voice which leads me to a door that I tried to open; however it was locked. I kept trying to open the door yet it was still locked no matter how hard I tried. Once I heard silence... I instantly started to panic until finally ended up breaking the door wide open. After the door broke I quickly I checked inside, t-there was this dark room with no pony inside." Spike continued. "I-I heard a giggle startle, I turn around to see who was behind me, and what I saw was an alicorn, I was shocked of course but before I could react she pushed me to the door causing me to fall into a black abyss and landed into a place called Elysium."
"Spike, what is Elysium? but importantly why did this alicorn pushed you into the door if you were trying to help her?" Twilight asked confused.
"Elysium is a place where certain heroes go who meet their end. The alicorn's name is Aurora, she was the one who pushed me into Elysium and told me something I couldn't believe." Spike explained again knowing the truth had to come out. "She’s the one who told me about the Hero of Equestria, She-um told me a secret about him..."
"Spike come on! Just tell us already!" All his friends replied with curiosity.
"Aurora told me that I am the reincarnation of the hero of Equestria. "Spike said as everyone fell silent, but Spike continued. "In a few days I have to go back in the medallion again and Aurora will tell me what happens next."
When Spike told them what he saw. The only thing he saw from his friends was their unnerving silence seeing their jaws dropping from their faces to the floor. While looking at him. He knew that they couldn't believe what they were hearing it was obvious.
"So? Are we going to Canterlot then?" Rainbow Dash asked still with a confused look with the rest of her friends.
"No, Canterlot will wait. Until I have found out about everything. I just can't tell Solaria and Selene yet." Spike said with an even expression.
"Okay, Spike I-wait what did you just call the princesses?" Twilight said to Spike who just remain silent and walked out the door. After leaving the library he decided to take a walk around Ponyville but was a surprise to find the merchant again. When the merchant saw Spike his face lit up with a smile.
"Hello, little dragon how are you?"The merchant asked him but noticed that Spike didn’t answer him back. "Is something the matter?"
"I'm sorry but I can't go to Canterlot," Spike said solemnly.
"What do you mean?" The merchant said in confusion.
"When I got the medallion something complicated happened to me,"Spike answered. "The marking stands for something. I wish to hang on to this a little longer but I will keep your promise okay?" Spike said with uncertainty.
"If you wish to keep it longer, I won't stop you because by the look in your eyes tells me that you have questions of your own; but remember to return the favor." The merchant said to Spike who replied with a nod.
Continuing to walk around Ponyville until he his eyes spotted a stick on the ground. Spike didn't know why the stick caught his attention, he walks passed it trying to forget about it but instantly went back for it. Once Spike grabbed it he saw a transparent vision or image of a hooded figure swinging a sword but couldn't see more as it faded into nothingness.
Spike then copied his stance by placing one claw on the bottom of the stick gripping the stick tightly. Spike then remembered to attack the images made of gray fog like memories. Swinging the stick feeling like he was swinging against the wind. Spike then continued to swing, slash, and curve the stick. He ran towards the tree pointing the stick forward causing it to go through the tree leaving him believing what had happened. Spike grabbed the stick from the tree until he heard laughter he looked over at the sound to see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon approaching him.
"Look, Silver Spoon, I guess he pretending to be a hero" Diamond Tiara scoffed and giggled with Silver Spoon.
"I guess he doesn't want to be the baby by Twilight Sparkle," Silver replied. Spike looked at Diamond's tiara and threw his stick towards one of the holes passing over her head and going through a tree again but sees the tiara hanging. Diamond and Silver just stood there with their jaw's down as Spike pulled the stick off the tree with the tiara and threw it back at Diamond. Spike glared at them with his slitted dragon eyes which cause them to scream and flee like the little fillys they were...
He wanted to keep going but he felt something weird. He lifts up his claw and saw it dripping blood, he must have cut himself by gripping the stick too hard. Spike was surprised because he didn't feel the pain sooner; he looked around and found an old cloth on the ground and tied it around the cut.
"In my past life did I use a weapon? Then if so I guess I was a fighter… awesome." Spike grinned walking back home seeing Twilight looking around for something in the Library.
"Spike, could you pass me a scroll, please? Twilight asked Spike who handed her a scroll. "Today has been weird Spike I-." Twilight paused when she saw a red stain on the scroll and looked at one of Spike's claw had a red cloth on it which was dripping blood on the floor.
"Spike what happened! Are you okay!" Twilight said in shock.
Spike just looked at his claw again and stared at it with a blank expression. "Just leave it Twilight to tell you the truth I don't feel a thing."
"Spike, you can't feel that cut? Does it that even hur-!”
Spike cut her off before she could continue "Twilight in a few days I'm going back in the medallion and in the meantime don't tell Celestia and Luna okay." Spike said in a serious tone as he interrupted her.
"But I…”
"I just need you to do this okay, after all, I can trust my big sister can I?"
Twilight couldn't say a thing but watched Spike heading to his room. Something was changing Spike, he never acted like this in front of her. She was starting to think that something is changing him after getting that medallion.
"(Small chuckle) What is it Spike?"Night Light said to his adopted son."What is it that you want to tell me?"
"I just saw the most beautiful dragon Dad! Her scales and mane are white and has the most beautiful blue eyes!" Spike explained to Night Light seeing his eyes widen.
"Where have you seen this?!"
"I see her all the time,she save me when I almost drown at the pool, But it just feels like she knows me."Spike said seeing his Night Light eyes looking down the floor."Dad who is she?"
"When something like that happens Spike it means shes well your."Nightlight try to think again."She is...your guardian angel."
"Guardian angel?"
Night Light smile at his confused son."You noticed that when you were in danger, she keeps protecting you all the time.The same way we always protected you.
"Really! I got a guardian angel! Yay! I'm going to tell mom!Thanks dad!" Spike said to Night Light then starting to run back home.
"What dad said surprise me because I still see her,My guardian angel. During the Winter Wrap Up ,I fell right through a frozen lake into the icy water.I tried to get out but couldn't find the hole.I started to sink to the bottom until I felt something holding me. I rose my head up and was surprising to see who it was. It was my guardian angel, the one who help me when I was little. Her paws was around my body like she was hugging me but I soon realize that she was leading me back to the hole as she lead me to escape the waters, she gave me a kiss on the forehead before I got out. Thats what she always did everytime she save me.I owe my life to her, the more I keep seeing her,the more I wanted to stay.I just feel more comfortable around her."
So what do you think? Discovering that the you used to have another life, only to know that you don't even knew about it? I always thought on who I was or how I came to Equestria either my other life but also who i am? That is the question on how this topic begins on about me.
"Spike..The more I think about it sounds kind of weird huh?" Spike mumbled to himself. "What is my real name? Did my real parents left me here for a purpose or I was abandoned? I don't know why but seeing how my life is right now, while hearing about makes me wonder? I could have been anyone? All I know is that I used to been a fighter because of my sword skill by my memory. Who am I really? Dad told me to trust in those around me? But did you see their faces ever since I told them about the hero or when I called the princesses those name. The vision! I forgot to tell them about the vision of the hooded creature? I just started to grip the stick, and the stance was similar to the hooded creature. When I swung the stick, I begin to see more vision but It just felt like it replace my memories with his. Why? Why am I seeing his memories? Why did I move exactly like him? Why now?"
Spike continues to mumbles himself and steps forward but those steps turn into running. Spike ran from the streets of Ponyville. He didn't know why he was running, he then realize that he past the Golden Oaks Library. His legs started moving faster and faster towards Everfree Forest until he stopped at a cave. The cave seemed old,maybe even ancient, Spike step inside the cave,it was empty but however saw a chest at the corner of the wall.. Spike step forward in the cave while his sights were at the chest. The metal was aging and the wood has some markings but were fading, The chest must have been here for decades maybe even centuries? Spike inspect the chest and begin to notice that the there was a crest on the chest. He was glad because the crest was not faded although It had same markings like the medallion,Spike approached to chest and starts to place his paws on it.
"I wonder whats inside?"Spike thought as he starts to lift the chest open,But once he looked inside he started to feel dizzy all of a sudden.
"(Groan)I don't feel so good?"Spike said then starting to fall on his knees. Spike tried to lift himself up but felt that his legs were getting numbed.He kept trying to get back up but his legs felt weak.Spike felt his eyes getting heavy even though he knows he wasn't sick let alone poison. Spikes eyes were beginning to blur but his sights starts were closing heavily as his surroundings begins to blacken. Spike could tell that his strength was failing, his head now on the ground just before he passed out on the ground.
"How do you feel?"
"What?"Spike quickly awoke hearing a voice of a female. All of Spike surrounding was black but a light was appearing towards a figure. What he is seeing was a hooded figure.Spike saw that the figure was wearing a long black dress. Spike couldn't see any skin however as the figure was wearing a long black glove. Spike realize that she was holding a familiar egg.
"Wait a minute?" Spike notices something about the egg."Thats my egg!"
"(Short chuckled) I bet you can't wait to hatch,mommy can't wait to see how you look."
"Mommy?(gasp)Mom!" Spike started running at her but the more he kept moving,the farther away she was.
"Mom!Mom!" Spike continue to shout, he seems to realize that she can't hear him as she disappear to the darkness.Spike continue running until his leg slip causing him to fall forward to the side of the face.Spike saw the light that was on top of his mother disappear leaving only his tears dripping on his checks then to the ground.
"Please....Don't leave me! Spike mumble."I SAID DON'T LEAVE!!!!"
Spike gasped and open his eyes after what he experience,he soon begins to wonder why he was on the ground in the first place.Spike was confused for a bit but soon realize it was a dream.But he remember that he opened his eyes,why was he still sleeping if he opened his eyes? Maybe its another vision? Spike was about to leave but was eyeing on the chest.He walked over the chest although he remembered opening it before he passed out.
Spike looked this time inside of the chest and was surprised for what he discovered. he found a sword and full body clothing,he stared to remember that it was the clothes of the figure was wearing in his vision.Spike looked around to see if he was being watch but nopony was there,he signs and started to put on the outfit from the upper body to the lower body.Spike study the clothing seeing that the upper body was like a long coat which the cloth cover his waist down to his knees,the primary color of the clothing were black and the secondary color was white,the lower body clothing was black pants and the boots that had markings on them. The boots were hard leather with metal plates attached to the front. The metal was a little heavy making them almost hard to walk on. Spike begins to know that the clothing covered his entire body including the lower part of his body,he was confuse where to wear the pants until he sees a large hole on the back side.He then notice that the spot was for his tail. Spike then looked at the sword, he pulled the sword off its sheath from the chest and started to wonder why it was here,he then study the swords weight seeing it wasn't light..How heavy it was for him but he seems to know that it was perfect for him which was rather strange. Spike felt the medallion was beginning to light up and was humming for a bit.
"Aurora? What happened?Why is the medallion humming?"Spike shouted until he felt the medallion vibrate making him drop it on the ground. Spike ran towards it but the medallion began to shake and launched to the air disappearing from his sights.
"Oh man!The merchants promise?(fall on his knees and begins to repeating punch the ground) Darn it! I can't do anything right?"
Yes you can!
Spike hears a familiar voice and quickly got up.
"Aurora?"
"Yes Spike,I am speaking to you telepathically.Where is the Medallion?"
"It just launch itself to the air,how am I going to see you now?!"
"Calm down, If I can't speak to you from the medallion, then I would have to see you physically in your world,I would have to use a disguise the next time you see me.
"Huh?"Was all he said after hearing that?Spike was about to head back home until a vision appear.
Spike notice that the vision show the hooded figure again except he was approaching a timber wolf.
"What is he doing?"
The timber wolf starting growling at him and was about to pounce him but the figure dodge it and went on it's back.The timber wolf begins to panic as it tried to shook him off.The figure raised his arm seeing that his paw was forming a blue aura around.The figure lift his arm up and place his paw on the side of the timber wolf's face.
"Why would he place his paw on it's face?"Spike mumbled.
Spike continue to see the vision seeing that timber wolf was calm,Spike was more stunned that the figure grabbed long tree vines and was beginning to place it around the timber wolf's nose then to its neck.The figure begins to clap his feet at the wolf's side and starts to ride the Timber wolf straight to the deeper parts of the forest.
"I don't believe!H-he's riding a living timberwolf! Spike shouted as the vision disappeared."If he can do it maybe I can! Oh my gosh! Thinking about makes my spines rise up!(Raise his arm)Now it my turn!From this day forward I would tr-no will ride a Timber wolf!"
While wandering the forest Spike couldn't find any timberwolves. This felt highly strange for him, the last time he went to the Everfree Forest he was nearly die or would have been hurt a lot worst if Applejack hadn't save him.
"Now if I was a timberwolf where would I be?"Spike thought then headed further to the forest.he continue going to the forest until he notice that the grass was disappearing.Spike observed at his surroundings. There were pillars that were destroyed,stone floors now cracked from each tile, and a roof which was covered in tree vines with some cracks and pieces now decaying with age.
"This looks like it could have been a kingdom or something? Maybe the princesses had a another castle or something."
Spike continue to observe the "kingdom" by entering the hallways, Spike looked at the texture of the hallway walls seeing a library, He continues to search around the area while their was books still on the shelves. The way they were shape looked different like the books Twilight has. They were thinner and much more longer, but the more he sees them more closing he realize that the language was different. Spike continue to see if anything more was around, however on the wall was being interesting to him so out of curiosity Spike step closer to the wall seeing strange yet familiar figures.
What Spike saw was a tapestry hanging from the wall. The tapestry had the entire town of Equestria along with Canterlot above it. Spike was frighten for what he saw and begins to backed away from the wall as he headed to another room. This room seems to have been destroy by age or nearly touched, he can clearly see the it was once a weapon forge. Spike started to get curious and continue to spend more time around the weapon forge. Spike was about to leave until he discover something inside the old cabinet. Spike opens it and it contains a chest which was really funny that he found a chest in the caves not to long ago. Spike grabbed the chest and pulled it out of the cabinet,The curious dragon study the chest,It was old yet in very good condition,Spike was even stun to see it in this condition.
"Woah...I wonder what's inside?"
Spike searched the chest revealing rusty swords and armor. He silently sighs for getting junk but yet surprised to see the armor on the stand it was about 6 foot while the weapons were 7 inches long. Spike was about to head out til something caught his eye. He sees a sword inside the open stone stand .He approached it and inspected it. Spike smile knowing that the sword was still in good condition but was covered in dust.
Spike stepped forward and grabbed the sword from the stand, Spike acknowledges the sword but notices that it was longer and heavier than the one he found in the cave,he took a few couple swings from the sword while trying to get used to the swords weight.
"Maybe I can take it with me?I can't leave a good sword that wasn't used rust.(sigh)Twilight gonna kill me for bringing real swords into the Library."
While searching around the armory, Spike was lucky enough to find a sheathe attached to a rope for the new sword. Spike left the temple and decide to return home. He has been in the Everfree Forest for about a hour maybe even more. Spike turn his head seeing the two swords sheathe on his back,he smile for a bit knowing that the discovering he found was a pretty good day but it will come short if he sees Twilight. However while he was walking home Spike didn't realize that deep in the forest, something was watching him.
"Target is male, has purple and green scales, I could sense his energy so that doesn't mean he's a dinosaur. Yep this is the one.The boss will be happy knowing we found him."
"Hey Bora! How long will the boat take to come back!?' A dragoness shouted right at here at her ear. Bora had orange scales with blue hair while the screaming one had pink scale with purple hair. Bora was wearing a long tunic covering the midpoint of her body, while Vira wore a worn out overalls with seems to be rip from the back.
"Jeez! Vira! Would you stop yelling!"
"But you said you love my yelling?"
"*Augh!* Why me." Bora mumbled then sat down on a barrel. Junktown was normally the attraction for anyone because....the name said it. She hated this town so much she is thinking of leaving but her main concern was outside,everyone was told that if someone goes outside they never come back at all but one of them always return.Wilhelm was the only one who could fight off. The more Bora thinks of him she could feel her heart pounding. Wilhelm save her many times but when she was being held in his arms made it more special. She loves her friends but wishes she could persuade Wilhelm to leave with her so they could both be free. In Bora's head she imagine them walking in their house in the moonlight seeing Wilhelm going bending on one of his knees pulling out a box and saying...
"Hey Bora!"
"*Augh!*Vira what the hell!" Bora said to her seeing Vira points at the sea.She move forward to see what was Vira was looking at. Bora pulled out a set of binoculars seeing a shadowing figure from the fog."Hey its a boat,I bet WIlhelm and Crimson are back and they must have bought food as well." Bora sees the boat sailing towards the docks.The boat dropped a anchor making the boat stopped while, Bora and Vira begin approaching the boat while they seeing the crowd begin to surround the boat revealing two figures descending out of the boat. The first was a female who had red scales and red hair,she was wearing a leather top and a kelt. She also seems to carry a longbow while her quiver was attached to a rope around her chest.The second was a male who scales were blue and on the top of his head has orange spike.He had two swords on his back and was wearing the same robes Spike is wearing.
"Where are the others?" One of the crowds said.Wilhelm stayed quiet,trying to say something until Crimson step forward and begins to speak.
"They are in Elysium.Crimson said to the crowd but continued.
"To ensure your survival they sacrifice their life for this."Crimson finished and pulled out a large bag hearing gasps from the crowd. "This bag contains food for all of us. While you eat always remember to give thanks to those who lost their life.Now I wil need you to line up" Crimson then open the bag and handed them to the other folks,Crimson sees their face with more concern. Bora saw Wilhelm walking forward to the camp.
"Wilhelm how is...
"Bora."WIlhelm interupted her."I just need to get some rest."
"But I...
"Please It's bad enough that me and Crimson were the only survivors.I just need some rest."Wilhelm said then continue to direction hearing only Bora's footstep going back to the docks.It was not long until he reach his tent just a few yards away from the docks.Wilhelm went underneath his bed and pull out a box then set it on the table.Wilhelm pulled a knife out and starts to aim it on his neck until he heard a knock. Wilhelm quickly placed the knife back in the box and placed it under his bed again.
"Come in!"he replied back as the door open seeing it was Crimson."Did you gave them the food?"
"Yes it was more silent, but at least we gave them something."Crimson said as she walk towards the table."We should never go back to Drakath Island, we lost so many.
"I know. What I hate about scavenging is that the more we go we just lose so many of us. First Judas,Rein,now Marcus and Leon. if only Roy was alive.....I wasn't meant to be a leader, I don't want to be a leader!"
"Losing my brother was hard Wilhelm but your the only one who actually had experience with this! Could you just remember why you are out there.The war is getting much worst by the minute have you reconsider moving?"Wilhelm turned to Crimson.
"Moving? What about everyone?They build their life out here..you can't take that away from them?"
"I know but listen!We are only a town full of 6-13 years old!We are refugees of the war!How are we going to survive if our only main protection is just you?"
"That was my main concern....I just wanted us to escape this war."Wilhelm said as he place his swords on the wall."You should get some sleep we should start working tomorrow."
"Right but you mind if I sleep here?"
"Sure I guessing that happened at Drakath Island will give you nightmare."Wilhelm said.So are you going to sleep on the floor or I will?"
"Do you mind If we both sleep on the bed?"Crimson said revealing a pink blush on her face.
"Okay...why?"
"I don't think the nightmares aren't best dealing alone."Scarlet said seeing Wilhelm taking off his shoes and robe then pull the sheets on himself and Crimson. Crimson placed her head on Wilhelm chest and close her eyes."Hey Wilhelm."
"Yes."
"I...It's nothing."Wilhelm started chucking then close his eyes hearing only silent.
3 hours later
*Knock* *knock*
Wilhelm and Crimson immediately heard the knock.Wilhelm open the door seeing a villager was outside on the ground heavily breathing.
"Whats wrong?"
"They found us! The Iron Claw found us! The villager shouted which widen Wilhelm eyes. He quickly went into the tent putting on his robe and grabbed his swords.
"Crimson! Go to everyone's house and tell them to evacuate!"Wilhelm order her and started running towards the docks,he looked at the waters seeing mass amount of ships heading towards the Island."Oh god!"Wilhelm bolted back to his direction seeing Crimson with Vira and Bora.
"Run!"Shouted Wilhelm."Get everyone to the other docks and get out of here! Move!"Wilhelm ran with Crimson and the others while hearing Cannon shots from the the other direction until they finally found the docks.They turn seeing the other villagers getting shot at the cannons leaving only their scream.
"Oh god!Vira whisper as she began to to tremble."I don't want to die! I don't want to die!"
"*Ah!*My leg I can't feel my leg!" Wilhelm sees a injured villager on the ground. The cannon shot must have shot at his leg instantly tearing it off from impact.
"Chrom!" shouted a girl who appeared from the crowds. She was about to head towards Chrom who was close to the cannon fire."What are you doing that's my brother!"
"We can't save him it's far to dangerous!"
"He needs me!"She shouted but was still be block by Wilhelm.She bolted again but was grabbed by Wilhelm."LET GO OF ME!"
"I can't!"
"I said let go!"She kept shouted pulling out something sharp from her pocket stabbing Wilhelm on the hand, She quickly started running out of the docks.The girl ran towards Chrom but haven't notice that a cannon ball was already on top of her.Once she reach Chrom the cannonball descended and impacted the ground where they both where killing them instantly.Wilhelm sigh for a bit then saw what she stabbed him with.It was a homemade shiv but the blade was sharp. Wilhelm grabbed the shiv and gives it to Bora.
"Just follow me."He ordered everyone."We have to move otherwise we won't make it out alive."
Wilhelm lead the others further down the docks revealing the two boats.The boats looked to be in very good condition leaving everyone with amazement until Bora began to speak up.
"Wilhelm have you been planning this?"Bora asked Wilhelm who replied only with a nod.
"Everyone now that we need to-" Wilhelm stood silent after hearing an explosion coming from the entrance."There coming w-we got to go now!" Wilhelm shouted causing the others to panic towards the boats but hearing armor steps appearing from the back."Crap!We have to go!"
"But not everyone on the boat!" Crimson yelled back seeing Iron claw soldiers arming their crossbow shooting at everyone."Damn it!" Crimson then open the sails causing the boat to move.
"Wait! What about Vira!" Bora shouted seeing Vira still on the docks running at the boat but was tackle by a soldier."Vira!"
"Ah fuck!"Wilhelm cursed at loud and jump out of the boat unsheathing his blade as he begins to start charging at the soldier who then saw Wilhelm charging towards him letting go Vira reaching down his blade but didn't react fast as Wilhelm's blade stabbed him on the throat."Come on Vira we got to go!" He grabbed Vira by the arm and started running to the boat. Wilhelm continue running til he see a rope from the boat descending towards them.
"Climb up!"Wilhelm heard Crimson shout while he lifted Vira to the robe who begins to climb up the deck.Wilhelm waited for his turn to climb up but something instantly pulled him back down the docks once he jumped. Wilhelm looked down at his leg seeing a rope tangled around his legs."They must have connected this to a crossbow."Wilhelm thought and was horrified seeing the bodies of villager, he held his anger for because he sworn to protect them yet he failed. Wilhelm removed the binds on his leg but once he got up he heard numerous noises behind him causing him to put his arms up.Wilhelm felt his arms being tied up as they put a sack on his head.Wilhelm couldn't see anything only that he was moving forward towards something.
"Where are the others?" Wilhelm heard a deep voice towards him.
"I'm not telling you anything!"Wilhelm replied until he was struck on the stomach.
"*huff* *huff* keep t-trying I still won't tell."Wilhelm felt another strike but this time to his face.The strike were repeatedly hitting his face to minutes then to hours but Wilhelm still wouldn't talk.The sack couldn't stand much hits started to rip fall down the ground.Once Wilhelm looked around the boat,blood starting pouring from his bruises.He couldn't see where he was but hears only water knowing that they left the Island.
"So this is how you look? I would have thought that the grim reaper would be more tougher."
"Don't ever call me!The Iron claw are dishonorable thugs.You don't earn the right to be call a soldier!"
"Ha ha! Dishonorable?You were once a Iron claw yourself! A soldier does not betray a cause!The only one dishonorable is you!"
"At least I'm not a monster! Only a monster kill the innocents,they are not warriors,They are ordinary people trying to live their life!"Wilhelm said letting his anger out."Why would a soldier prey on the weak."
"You should know that only the strong survives."The soldier said as he points his crossbow to his head.
"I think that's enough Blaze!"A smaller voice appeared surprising everyone but Wilhelm.They figure appeared to be a child wearing armor around his body while wearing a cape at his back.
"Yes sir Maverick!"Blaze shouted while bowing to him.Maverick sees all of the soldiers bowing to him but notice Maverick walking towards him.
"Never I would imagine seeing you in Junktown.I thought my scouts were wrong,I never thought of a reunion would be like this."
"What do you want Maverick?"
"Wan't?All I wanted was to see my big brother."Maverick said with a innocent smile as he pulled out his blade.
"Wan't? All I wanted was to see my big brother."Maverick said with a innocent smile as he pulled out his blade.That blade.....It pisses him off. Maverick sees Wilhelm eyeing the sword.
"Ah Wilhelm think of this as a tribute!"
"You were jealous of how they treated me, I remain a high elite as you remai...
"YOU DO NOT DESERVE THIS!!!"Maverick easily snapped but soon calm down." I earn this brother,I earn my way to ranks,I earn the trust for embracing The Eternal Fire and the emperor!"
"The eternal fire is false, just like the story of Archon reaching godhood."
"But he was once mortal .The tale of how our so call "Founder" rose to godhood is just a lie.Why can't you see the truth brother?" Wilhelm explained."I will spare you brother if you rejoin the Iron Claws,The true rulers of Obelisk."
"As a Hideilian,I only wished you would understand that my answer is no." Wilhelm replied seeing Maverick shock his head.
"Then you leave me no choice."Maverick mumbled as he walked towards Blaze."Blaze just kill the piece of shit."
"Yes sir!" Blaze salute Maverick then went towards Wilhelm."You were such a fool to turn down a request but orders are orders. Blaze reach down to pull his sword out from his sheath. Blaze stand above Wilhelm who struck down his blade at Wilhelm however Wilhelm dodge it by with a quick spin making the blade go around him. Once he was on his feet a soldier was preparing to attack him as Wilhelm jumped over him wrapping his tail around his neck hearing his neck snap. He saw more soldiers running at him with their swords high up the air and swung at him which he purposely lift him arm up heading the robes causing his binds to rip. He begins to run towards Maverick who quickly turns around seeing Wilhelm running at him. Wilhelm open the palm of his paw which begins to form a aura around him. His middle of his paw lighten up as he conjure a spell that cause him to launch himself to the air at Maverick while both of them quickly unsheathe their swords and struck each other with them.Maverick felt Wilhelm's blade scratching the middle of his armor as he saw his blade cutting Wilhelm's eye and cutting off his Spikes from his head. After their blades collide Wilhelm fell out of the boat and went into the water leaving only blood to appear to where Wilhelm body fell.
"Sir are you ok...
"YOU IDIOTS! HES IN THE WATER SHOOT!"Maverick ordered the soldiers who immediately pulled the bolt from their crossbow firing at the water for two hours straight.
"Um....sir?"
"Yes!?"
"O-one of your swords....
"Spill it out!"
I..Is gone!"
"What!"Maverick remove his cape to see revealing that one of his sheathe had no swords. Maverick's reaction went from shock to anger.Maverick starts to clinch his fist and started roaring which causing the ocean water to look like a hurricane.
"WILHELM! YOU COOOOOWWWWWWAAAARRDDDDDDDDDD!"
"Sir calm down!"
"CALM DOWN! THAT SWORD IS AWARDED TO THE HIGHEST RANKING ELITE.I LET A TRAITOR...... NO! SOMEONE WHO IS BENEATH ME TO OUTSMART ME! GO TO EVERY ISLAND NEARBY! I WANT HIM DEAD!"
12 hours later.
The fight with Maverick was a close one,Wilhelm doubted he will never survive if he hadn't took the swords.He lifted up his arm revealing the sword he stole from Maverick. The blade was Changdoa long sword. He knew what it was because of the long grip and the blade. Wilhelm went to his pocket pulling out bandages for his eye, his spike was removed from his head now started bleeding but his eye still kept dripping blood. After Wilhelm was done something felt odd in this Island. He concentrated to see if there were anything one here by sensing their life force. But was surprising that there were multiple of them. He jumped to the trees so no one was able to see him. There life force were weaker meaning they were not hidelians, but sense two strong power.... he knows it was best to avoid it. Wilhelm continue to scout around the area until what set his sights was a town or village.Wilhelm took a closer look which surprised him seeing the town was not what he expected.
"Excuse me?" Wilhelm turn his head to see a female equestrian behind him. She was wearing a long black dress while wearing a long hooded cloak over her dress. Wilhelm could see her looking back,knowing she must be in danger if she hadn't contacted him.
"Are you my bodyguard that my father hired?" Wilhelm only replied with a nod."Ah good I really want this to be over quick. The mare said as she lead him to the streets. The unicorn looked back at her bodyguard.He was wearing a hooded cloak as well although it seems to be more longer than hers possibly to conceal him from the public. Wilhelm continue following her until she started to run at the corner.
"Is something the matter?" Wilhelm said.
"It's them,their gang was the one who sent us the letter." He took a quick peek out to see what they look like. They were pack of griffins, common thugs but they closing in to the street they were on.
"Try to find somewhere to hide." Wilhelm inform her yet she tried to replied but interrupted her."It's alright, I'll take care of this." Wilhelm finished speak to her waiting for a answer which nod in agreement. Wilhelm walk towards the gangs leaving himself in the open so they can get their attention on him.
"Well well,are you their lapdog?" One of the griffin spoke.
"Wait are you a dragon!?"
Dragon, that word in the Hidelands is consider taboo.No one is allow to say that but when the griffins said had angered Wilhelm.
Wilhelm pulled both of his swords out as the griffin reveal their sharp talons from their paws. All of the griffins charged at him as Wilhelm stood in the same spot while the griffins raised up their claws releasing a huge swing. The griffins swung their attack at Wilhelm only to see him vanished from their sights.
"Where is he?"
"I'm over here!"
"Huh!" One of the thugs followed his voice seeing he was behind them spooky them ."How did you get over there?"
"You were just too slow, surrender now or I will use my blade!" Wilhelm stated at them as the griffins were beginning to all charge at him. Wilhelm lift one of his blade up as all of their talons hit the hilt of his sword breaking their wrists. "I warn you if you don't leave them alone it will be much worst!" Wilhelm's words cause the griffins to quickly fly away.
"Is it over?" a voice was heard behind him.Wilhelm knows it was the mare only to replied with a nod hearing a sigh."Thank you I know that they will never come back for that. I suppose you want your pay?" Wilhelm nodded again as they continue on walking the street. They continue to walk on busy road until they stop by a huge house.
"I take it that's yours." Wilhelm spoke to the mare who nod while chuckle.
"It is but you never know what happens if you are one of the richest family in Trottingham, so we should step inside for your reward." The mare said while leading Wilhelm to the door. Wilhelm step inside seeing all the luxury furniture around the house.
"You may want to wait here for a bit, I will get you the money that you deserve for your hard work." The mare told him while she left the room.Wilhelm observe everything around the room. The luxury in the house looks expensive yet Wilhelm hated nobles due to their attitude towards the less fortunate plus the one he met while serving the Iron Claws.
Flash back......
Wilhelm watched as the Nobles continue to crowd the other generals at the ballroom.
" I don't know why we are here? Shouldn't we be in the battlefield." Wilhelm said to a soldier who was grabbing and eaten piles of food.
" I wouldn't mind plus the food is better than our ration." The soldier continue to chow on many food until he was scowled by a noble.
"Are you really going to protect us? What nonsense!" The noble walked away leaving the soldier to drop all his food.
Wilhelm saw him and started to feel bad. "Hey you are not gonna to let some asshole like that bother you! Just cheer up little brother...lets just leave. Kasumi might be cooking up her famous spicy dumplings."
"Yeah lets leave this crapfest."
"Language! You made be a soldier but I wan't no cursing from you!"
"Alright I'll stop." Wilhelm laugh as they started to walk out of the building with his brother.
End of Flashback.....
Wilhelm sat down waiting for someone to return, the minutes turns to hours as Wilhelm was finally about to leave for boredom.
"Leaving so soon?" Wilhelm turn around revealing the voice. It was mare he met however isn't wearing the cloak."My father couldn't come down so he ask me to give you the money. I must thank you for what you've done." The mare said to Wilhelm as she handed him the bag of bits.
"You welcome."Wilhelm replied to the mare as he headed to the exit of the building. After Wilhelm left the mansion he decided travel out of Trottingham and went to the dirt road. Wilhelm was used to traveling on the road due to be lead and also leading troopers,mostly he travel by boats to go to another battlefield or a city. He traveled for miles but froze seeing shade covering the sunlight above him. He quickly looked up and notice a flying chariot passing him, he was surprise at first yet he continue on his way down the road. Wilhelm thought for a bit after seeing a flying chariot. This was the first smile on his face... probably the first time he smile after leaving Obelisk.
"Spike? Wake up! Your journey doesn't end here! You must...."
Spike gasp and quickly open his eyes after hearing the voice. He looked around at his surroundings to see where the voice but as usual he found nothing. Spike was unsure what he heard although again the voice did sound familiar but quickly ignore it. Spike decided to leave the forest so he can return the to Ponyville .Spike notice it was noon clearly stating that he must have stayed at the forest for quite a while yet once he got up he quickly stumble. Spike tried to get up as he notice that he was a little thinner,his little belly on his stomach was gone. Just how long has he been here? While Spike finally got his paws together, he made his way to Ponyville seeing everything was still the same. Spike felt strange a little bit.His vision was blurry yet he can still see.
"I think I need something to eat" Spike mumbled to himself." I haven't eaten anything since I found the robes and the temple."
Spike started to walk towards Sugarcube Corner but immediately stop when felling a sharp pain on his hand. Spike quickly remove his glove to see what was happening but was stunned, what he found was a mark on his hand which made Spike realized. Wilhelm conjured a spell on his hand,the same hand he used..This means I'm a.......Hideilian?" Spike froze from the thought but shook his head as he place his glove back on hiding the mark. He continue his way to sugarcube corner hearing familiar voices. Spike saw his friends gathering around however his eyes took interest of Twilight. Twilight's mane was a mess,her eyes red knowing she been crying for so long along with the bags under her eyes.
"What the hay happened here?"
"Do you think we were find him?"
"I don't know girls it's been a whole 3 weeks and yet we still can't find Spike."
Three weeks!I was gone-no asleep for three weeks!Spike thought to himself as he continue to listen.He sees Twilight talking to her friends,they were probably looking for him."That means I haven't had food for three weeks!"
"Maybe I did something wrong? Did he run away for something I did?
"Did she think I ran away? Twilight did nothing wrong."
"Twilight."Applejack approached her placing a hoof on her."We will find Spike but y'all need some rest."
"But Applejack-"
"Shh It's going to be fine we won't stop searching until we find him,He'll never run away from you I promise you that." Spike hid as Twilight begins to head to the library. Spike stayed behind her seeing her opening the library door open. The way she is now,Spike never knew how much she means to him.
"What did I do wrong?"Spike hears Twilight talking to herself." When I saw the blood in his claws he didn't seem to react to it. He spoke to me with that cold tone, I didn't realize how scared I was. Maybe I should have told him then he would have stay."Twilight sigh and levitated a book from one of the nearest shelve. Spike couldn't stand it so he went inside the library seeing Twilight put down the book.
I'm sorry but the Library is close."
"I'm not looking for a book."Twilight ears perk up after hearing his voice. She sees a purple dragon wearing strange clothing she even realize that he lost some weight.
"Twilight I-" He was cut off from his conversation while being pulled from Twilight's magic and being embrace around her arms.Spike could feel water being dripped from the top of his head.
"Spike I-I thought I lost you!
"I-I'm sorry I was gone.I had some personal issue."
"But you could have told us!Twilight shouted."When you left I never been so alone Spike! Before coming to Ponyville,when I have problems you were there to comfort me! I was so scare being by myself without you!"I-I thought you-
"Hey hey,It's okay, It was my fault leaving you like this.You were like this in Canterlot when we were little."Spike said as Twilight began to dry her eyes."Before we call the girls Twi I have something to tell you?"
"You can tell me anything Spike?"
"Well do you know what this is?" Spike said as he remove his glove.Twilight's eye open wide as she saw the mark.She placed both of her hoofs on it. The mark was part of Spike now it was still glowing and new to her, she decided take a closer look.
"It looks similar to the medallion marks do you still had it?" Twilight said to Spike who shook his head.Twilight continue to observe it. "But it resembles of a cutie mark!"
"I know,dragons don't have cutie mark and I don't think that I am a dragon at all!"
"Hmm very strange? Spike can you tell me what happened to the medallion?"
"When I found the clothes something triggered it."Spike stated to the curious Twilight. "I felt strange picking my clothes up and for some reason it vibrated,then it launch into the air I haven't heard Aurora since then."
"Maybe it activated some sort of-"
"Beacon?"Spike said leaving a silent gasp from Twilight.
"Spike?Are you going to tell me where you where?"Twilight said to him only causing him to turn his direction from her."If you don't want to talk about it I-
"I just didn't want you or the girls to know because,I'm afraid that I will to be treated different if you know what I really was."Spike interrupted her.But I promise you Twilight that I will not tell you but show you! You and the girls deserve to know."
"Ok..Oh! and Spike?"
"Hmm?"Spike turn around at Twilight."Yes?"
"Those clothes..why are you wearing them?
"You remember the warrior I said that I reincarnated from them?"Spike said to Twilight.
"Yeah? What about him?" Twilight replied to Spike hoping for a answer.
It turns out that these were his clothes.I was going to put them somewhere safe but I guess you say that I grew attached to them?" Spike waited for Twilight to respond although he could see her eyeing the outfit."Does it bother you?"
"What no no no! I had to say it kind of suits you even though I not fan of wearing black."Twilight said as she sees Spike eyes widen."You should take them off so I can wash."
"Yeah! Good idea! A bath does sound nice."Spike replied as he remove his clothes. Twilight stare at Spike's thin body.
"Oh my Celestia! Have you eaten at all!"
Spike begins laughing." I guess you say that I haven't eaten in three weeks!" Spike said as he headed upstairs leaving Twilight whose jaw reached to the floor.Twilight shook her head hearing Spike closing the door shut. Curious about Spike she headed upstairs to where Spike was at and place one of her ears at the door hearing Spike mumbling to himself a repeated word."Hideilian"
"Hideilian?" Twilight thought to herself."What in the world is a Hideilian?"
"Hideilian, Is that the name of my race?" Spike kept thinking as he keeps repeating that word. The land looked completely different than Equestria...possibly. Dragons can't perform magic even they don't have marks resembling a cutie mark, and yet Wilhelm did. Maybe that's why they couldn't find what he was. If he is a Hideilian than that means he could find his past in Obelisk...if he can find it. Spike turn the water off which felt strange again, normally when he takes 7 hours bath he felt great yet ever since finding the medallion and his past memories,somethings seems to happens to him.Ever since meeting Aurora she will show him about Wilhelm's past yet he has seens some parts of his memories without her. After Spike finished with his shower he finished reach for the door images starts to appear in front of his eyes while he continue to make his way downstairs.
Image 1:
In the desert of Saddle Arabia
Wilhelm travel far from Civilization to follow the large pawprints, he felt a large amount of heat coming from his side of his face just 2 miles away. Wilhelm goes over there to inspect it the heat that was burning the desert ground, what he found was glass.
"Hmm....sand only becomes glass if the heat is extremely hot. But the desert is not as hot as this heat so it can't be the desert." Wilhelm thought to himself as he see a large smog in the air."Ah great.....looks like a...dragon, no wryvern!"Wilhelm laugh and quickly examine the cave. "Not as strong like their cousins but I have to the saw with the height of the cave maybe around 1 ton, 50 meters.I need to distract it for a minute." Wilhelm opened his pouch pulling out a couple of gems. He then pulled out a bow and quivers full of arrows from his satchel.He tossed the gem in the opening and waited for the wryvern to take the bait.
3 hours later Wilhelm waited on top of a bolder as he heard a large roar coming from the sky. The wryvern landed on the ground and started sniffing to see who was around. The wryvern began to move towards where the gems was at and begin to open its mouth. Wilhelm began to pull his bow looking through his scope, he took a deep breathe as he let go of his finger seeing the arrow flying towards the wryverns head, the wryvern falls on the ground twitching while the blood starts to squirt. He approached the wryvern as he sees it cry in pain,Wilhelm climb on its body and ascended near its head and pushes the arrow more deeper to its skull thus killing the wryvern. Wilhelm looked at the wryvern's body to suspect something was odd with this wryvern. The paws were smaller than the ones left at the floor yet the smog was still in the air.Wilhelm starts to hear another roar but was more deeper.
"Fuck! I killed its mate!" Wilhelm mumble to himself as he pulled both of his swords out.A force can be felt as the ground was crumbling destroying the cave. The male wryvern was revealed in the sky while it's wings opened up dispersing the smog as landed on the ground. The wryvern gaze upon its mate corpse then at Wilhelm.
"Yeah! I killed then I'll kill you too!"
Wilhelm who show no fear looked straight at the wryvern's face as it growled at him."And they said we Hideilians have bad breathe." Wilhelm started charging at his head as the male wryvern begins to move straight towards him. Wilhelm saw the Wryvern's claw heading straight down towards him but he slide underneath the wryvern by slicing on of its leg. The wryvern started to roar in pain then starts to limp. Wilhelm pulled out his bow again and started to aim to the same leg. The wryvern saw him instantly started to flap his wings and advancing towards him. he could see him flying towards him but instead aiming at his leg, he quickly changed his aim to his wings. He then waited for the wryven to close up to his direction while the wryvern was close enough from his sights, instead of Wilhelm shooting the bow directly at his wings,Wilhelm jumped on his snout launching himself to the air. He could see the wryvern's claws approaching him.Wilhelm dodge the strike by quickly turning his body to the opposite way this time looked at the Wryvern's wing directly at him.
"Bullseye."Wilhelm pulled his string and shot the arrow as it torn open the wing making the wryven to lose his flight as he crashed to the ground violently. Wilhelm lands on its back pulling his arrow at his head.
"Do it!"The wryvern spoke."You killed my mate and my pride,I have nothing to live for."
"Why did you both attack Saddle Arabia?"
"We were hungry.But why were a fellow dragon at-
Wilhelm interupted his talk while the arrow from his bow piercing the wryvern's head.
"Because Hideilians are a different race than you dinosaurs!" Wilhelm said as he got off his body then starts to leave the area mumbling a few words."I had enough hunting down these dinosaurs!"
Spike took a deep breathe after witnessing the image. So Wilhelm took out two Wyvern's. Spike thought in disbelief yet he didn't like what he saw but he couldn't stay in the bathroom for long otherwise Twilight might barge in. Spike got out of the Bathroom knowing that Twilight was waiting for him.
"Spike are you done!"Twilight cried out seeing Spike descending down the stairs but one of his claw was clinching his head." Spike! Are you okay?"
"Huh?"Spike was startled as he looked at a concern Twilight."I'm alright Twi,I need to sit down for a bit."
Spike notice there were hi-Wilhelm's clothes. They were neatly folded on the basket.
"The trousers and and robe were easy to watch but the boot and gloves contain some metal so I have hoofwashed them." Twilight said to a surprised Spike.
"You did this Twilight?" Spike said to her who only replied with a giggling nod. Spike smile back at her as he put them on immediately. As Spike began to realize that the clothes had a nice smell. Spike walked up to a mirror to observing himself but was interrupted by flashes of images from the past.Spike went down one knee and observe what he saw but the images was too fast. The more he remember it was beginning to hurts him. Spike kept his eyes close for a bit until he felt something cold was touching the side of his face. Spike open his eyes seeing a floating glass of water with a purple aurora around him. he grabbed it then started drinking from it.
"Thanks Twilight, that really hit the spot."
"Your welcome Spike." Twilight replied back as she sat next to Spike. "So are you going to tell me what you've been doing?"
"Finding myself but the more things I find start to hurt."
"What do you mean?"
"Well the thing is...Aaaah!" Spike scream seeing more images appearing in his head.He can feel Twilight trying to help but he still feels more pain.Twilight sees Spike collapsing on the ground seeing his two paws on his head gripping like a madpony.
"Spike! Whats wrong! Spike!"
"Get out of my head!"Spike kept shouted. "GET OUT OF MY HEAD!" Spike screamed so loud created a force that knocked the books off the shelves. Twilight was stun for what happened but went to aid Spike first.
"Spike are you okay? What was that?!"Twilight said to Spike who remained on the ground gasping for air.
"Make it stop!"
"Make what stop?"
"These images." Spike told Twilight as he continue."I can feel them Twilight....I can feel them going inside my head....at first they hurt my head but this time I can feel them changing my insides as well." Spike continue seeing Twilight's face being more concern. "The more I see it I feel like vomiting, I remember so much things and yet I don't think my body can't handle it...what I thought I was is a lie...what I am is a monster!"
Twilight was stun for what he said. She could see terror in Spike's eyes. She quickly approach him placing a hoof on his shoulders while trying to calm him down.
"Hey its alright...don't worry about those images. I'm here Spike and as long as your here we can find out together."
"Thanks Twi-Ack!"
"Spike!" Twilight put her arms around Spike as she heard him struggled more but was pushed off seeing Spike falling on his knee vomiting on the floor.
"Spike!" Twilight shouted but was soon halted as Spike began to get himself up by himself."A-are you okay?"
"I-I think so?"Spike replied to her.He looked at Twilight who immediately gasped seeing blooding dripping from his mouth.
"Spike your bleeding!" Twilight levitated a napkin from the kitchen.Spike eyes widen seeing his vomit wasn't just food he ate, what he vomited was blood... his blood. He stood himself and sat on the stair step as Twilight started cleaning his faces. Spike notice Twilight was looking at his vomit and was shocked that it was blood. "How could you vomit blood? How is that even possible?"
Spike signed for a bit hearing what she said and mumbled to himself."I don't know what is happening? Maybe Aurora will know,just need to find her."
"Okay Spike the blood is almost gone." Twilight said as she finish wiping the blood away from Spike.She levitated the cloth to a trash bin and sat next to him.Twilight didn't spoke,all she did was stare at him.She could see his face looking down like he was upset.She hated Spike like this so she decided to speak up."So...Spike where did you get those?"
Spike looked at Twilight hoofs pointing at the swords."One of them used to belong to me the while I found the other one."
"Are they real?" Twilight asked Spike which Spike respond only with a nod.
Spike could see her more confused than ever. Spike sat there with Twilight without making a noise for the past minute. It was quiet and also very awkward,Spike can tell how much Twilight wanted to answer but knows it will be a bad idea. Spike decided to get up from the steps as Twilight got up at the time.
"Wait Spike where are you going?"
"I'm going back."
"But you just came back home? Do you really want to go again?"
"I just have to Twi it's..... personal."
"Alright then I guess I will be coming too!"
Spike thought for a bit until he made a decision "Alright bringing you would be perfect and Twilight how long was I in the shower? Probably in their for 7 hours."
"No you were in there for 25 minutes."
Spike looked at Twilight who gave her a quick stare then a small chuckle.
"I guess vomiting blood the only thing that change?" Spike said while Twilight's face was turning green."Too soon?"
"Yeah too soon."
"Spike is that you!"
Spike was cut off from a strange voice.
"Where is that voice coming from?"Twilight said seeing Spike smiling."What are you happy abou!?"
"I know that voice! Aurora!"
"Aurora is that the Alicorn who took your soul to the medallion! "Twilight shouted still seeing Spike shaking his head." Not sure why that will make you happy?"
"Aurora where are you!"
"Spike I am at the temple,I need you to come alone for this.
"What I am not letting you take him!"
"Aurora I don't think traveling alone will be a good idea! The other's are searching for me we can meet up there to be safe!"
"Okay but I must ensure you that if Spike makes it to the temple you must not interfere equestrian!"
Twilight just smile as she silently giggled to her saddlebags.Spike continue to stood frozen as he watched Twilight packing. Twilight turn her head around seeing Spike staring at her..
"What?"
"We just talked back to a princess?"
"Yeah so?"Twilight replied seeing Spike was about to say something but started walking the door."Spike she may be a princess but she is not our princess!"
"I HEARD THAT!" Aurora was heard shaking the entire library. Twilight and Spike watch how all of the books fell from their shelves to a stack of books on the ground.
"Hey Spike."
"Yeah Twilight?"
"Lets skip cleaning when we get come back home." Twilight said to Spike who replied with a another nod.'
Everfree forest...... Spike and Twilight begin to travel around the Everfree Forest to search for the temple,to pass the time Spike told Twilight about Wilhelm's past with the Iron Claws.
"So your telling me that this Maverick who is Wilhelm's brother try to kill him?"
"Yeah there is some war going on causing all the Hideilian there to fear the Iron Claw it's pretty horrible."
"It does sound horrible but the question is how did he came to Equestria?"
"That is a question I would love to figure out?" Spike replied to Twilight as they went deeper to the forest.
Spike and Twilight started to observe the forest. Twilight begins to notice that the forest is looking different when the descend farther than the forest. Now she wonders why the Everfree forest is feared in Ponyville.
"Spike are you sure you know where the temple is?
"I do." Spike replied." I know where the the temple is at." Spike said to Twilight who started to look terrified."Hey Twilight don't worry, I started to remember those two trees from before." Spike stated to Twilight who gave a silent sigh.
"Lets just thank Celestia that there is no creatures around other wise we might be in trouble."Twilight thought as they traveled further into the Everfree forest soon stop as they see one of the trees had a large scratch marks on them.
"Spike was that there before?"
"No and I also think that those scratch marks are freshly new."Spike and Twilight gulped for a bit then headed straight further to the forest.
"Maybe we should find the girls and leave?" Twilight waited for a replied from Spike however she sees Spike at the tree however it appears to look like like Spike was study it.
"Spike we need to-
"I don't think this is a Timberwolf."
"huh?"
"Look Twi, just by seeing how the scratches is facing the trees, it looks like it was lunging at something normally four legged animals lung at prey?" Twilight check to see if there is any prints from the prey.
"You got it something Twi?" Spike continue to study the tree if there were any more clues until hearing a loud gasp behind him.
"Twilight whats wrong!?"Spike quickly turns back only to see Twilight running off without him.
"Twilight wait!" Spike went to where she was standing on to see what the prey's prints look like.
"Wait a minute...Those prints....those are hoofprints! I can't leave Twilight by herself!" Spike started running at the direction where Twilight was heading at. While running Spike started to reach over his back and started to unsheathe one of his swords. Spike continue to run after Twilight however didn't realize that an mysterious creature crept behind the bushes silently snaring at two new prey.
The sun begins to raise over the forest. The ruler of Equestria gaze upon sky as she begins another day with her royal duties. While the sun sets over the mountains, she could see where Canterlot resides, Celestia use her telescope observe the townspony but her sight gaze to something else. What she saw was the soon to be new castle as her fellow ponies begins to construct it. She did loves this castle however knowing how the Everfree Forest is dangerous for meetings with other officials so Celestia decided to change location.
"Sister?"A voice appeared behind from behind Celestia. Celestia sees her little sister entering her room and gave her a smile. she enjoys her royal duties but spending time with her sister was more precious.
"Oh Luna! Good morning!" Celestia replied to Luna.
"Good morning dear sister." Luna said with a sadden tone. Celestia got concern while looking at Luna's face,normally she wasn't this upset but what happened a week ago must be the reason.
"Luna?" Celestia concern about Luna decide to talk to her sad sister."Is there something wrong? Is this about the gala again?"
"Yes dear sister...We always wanted to talk to everypony but they only want to see thou. We think they prefer thou's sun then our moon." Luna said as her sister's arms embrace her.
"Luna I'm sorry that this is how you feel but out there in Equestria there is somepony who loves the moon...
"But why haven't we met them, we just want one of our subject to enjoy it like the sun."
"Luna I-
"Please sister."Luna interrupted Celestia."We just need to be alone right now."Luna said as she flew to the forest leaving Celestia to be more concern.
As she couldn't see the Castle in her sights Luna found a opening as she landed on the ground.Luna signs as she walk as tears begin to flow.
"Why does everypony like her? Why not me?" Luna thought to herself as she continue as she further into the forest. Luna decided to venture in the forest more as she realize she seems to notice a pawprint and what looks like a boots?
"We didn't knew timberwolves wear clothing of such kind?" Luna continue to move forward as she descends further to the forest although as she continue to move forward, something was strange about the forest that it started to scare her. She was beginning to think informing her sister seems to be a better option than being by herself .As Luna was about to head back she immediately get startled as a noise was heard in front of her. To her it sounded like a howl but this howl was more frighting. She begins to flap her wings making her airborne but something was running directly at her then jumping towards her.Luna tried to quickly fly back but it was caught her by surprise as the both fell to the ground.
"What foul creature are you?!" Luna said and was about to stand up but the creature pounce at her laying on her back. Luna try to get up but it's paw was at on her chest but the only motion she could do was to lift her head while seeing the creature's face. It was a timberwolf indeed but it looked completely different than the others. Normally a timberwolf's bark was weak but this one's was more sturdy,the colors of the wood was black instead of brown as she then notice it was wearing a saddle on its back and a bridle around its head. Luna starts to concentrate her magic but panic soon came as the timberwolf opens it's large mouth leaving Luna's only decision was to close her eyes.
"Charis aurthon!"(Hope enough")
Luna open her eyes as the Timberwolf obey to the voice. Luna got back up as the timberwolf lifted its paw off her chest .Luna saw it's master but how he looks like was unexpected.He was about the same size as a colt, same for the voice as well. The clothing he was wearing cover most of his body,she was unable to see his face but only his mouth due to the hood.
"We thank you stranger I..
"Leave."
"Pardon?"
"You should not stay here equestrian it's not safe."
"We must deny thou's request. We are the princess of the night!
"But you couldn't defeat Charis."
"Who?" Luna said to the stranger who pointed at the timberwolf."Oh that is it's name."
"Her."
"What? It's a female."
"As I said before you must leave it isn't safe?"
"How do you know it isn't safe? We must speak to your parents at once!"Luna told the stranger who stayed quiet.
" So you knew I was a child."
"Yes now where is your parents?"Luna asked him but didn't replied."Do you know where they are?"
"There dead." The stranger said to Luna.
"Oh we apologize! Do you have another family member who is alive?"
"I have a little brother but I don't want to talk about him."
"But he's your little brother you must forgi.."
"Forgive him! My brother is a monster! He enjoys slaughtering others for enjoyment!."The stranger said to Luna as he pulled down his hood revealing a giant scar on his eye. "You see this scar he did this, it was my fault that I join the Iron Claws, my fault that my brother is a genocidal killer! I failed to protect Junktown because of it."
Luna watch as tears start appearing from his eyes.
"Everywhere I go, everyone I knew, they keep saying I'm strong, but I'm not strong. I couldn't even protect Junktown! I lost so many,my allies,my friends,this is way I should be alone." The stranger said as Luna place her arms around him. Luna saw that hugging him startled him.
"What are you doing?"
"We are just hugging thou?"
"Hugging?" Luna saw the stranger looked confused.
"Have you ever been hug before?"Luna said to the stranger who shook his head."A hug is when somepony wrapped another in their arms when expressing affection. Everypony needs a hug when they are upset. Do you feel beter?"
"Is this hug magic?" The stranger said hearing a small chuckled from Luna.
"No this isn't magic but do you fell upset now?"
"No......for some reason I don't feel upset anymore."
"Good we are glad but." Luna paused for a bit and took a glance at the the one eye stranger."We can't just leave you here."
"You don't have to worry I was a former soldier I can take on anything."
"Then please I least be a guest for the night."Luna pleaded to the stranger.
The stranger wanted to leave but saying no to her was not going to be easy. "Alright then bu its only for the night."
"Huzzah! We are glad that thou made this decision!"
"Kind of regretted it."The stranger mumbled after Luna clear her throat.
"What is thou name young dragon?"
"Wilhelm and don't call me dragon."
"Why is it what you are called?"
"No I am not a dragon,I am a hideillian. We look like them,we eat like them, but we have a bunch of different...abilities compare them. And of course....princess of the night never forget this. The term "dragon" is consider to be....racist to all of our people."
*Gasp!* We apologize for our words young Wilhelm! We thought you were one of them."
Wilhelm laughs."Its okay, I been called that word for some time now so I'm starting to get used to it but just never say that again."
"We agree!" Luna said to Wilhelm who nod with approval. "A different species..My sister will be intrigue with him."
"Alright we should head to the castle I would inform the guards for your arrival and we would inform them about that word."
"Alright I guess I would see you soon."Wilhelm said as he sees Luna flying away."I never knew equestrians could be interesting."
("But do you trust her?")
"I'm starting to she reminds me of Aimi."
("If anything happens I would protect you.")
Wilhelm smile and looks back at Charis who was focused." I'm fine we should probably head to this castle you can find her scent."Wilhelm said to Charis who move close to him and started sniffing at him.Wilhelm mounted her and started to move forward towards the castle.
"Twilight!"Spike called her out but she didn't heard him."How can somepony runs so fast if all she does is read books! Twilight!" Spike kept running as he bump into her.
"Spike we have to find the girls otherwise they will get hurt!"
"I know Twilight but going alone will cause more trouble! Remember what happened to Applejack when she tried to do... Did you hear that?"
"I did!
Spike and Twilight silently gulped as Spike raised his sword to a medium stance.
"Hello?"Twilight said as a large figure appear from the shadow.It looks like a giant wolf but it's appearance was horrific.
"Achthend!"
"And its speaks!" Spike said as the creature charge at both of them. Spike raise his sword up waiting for the creature to move closer and saw it leap above him.it wasn't going for him it was going after Twilight. Spike quickly dash underneath the creature and pushes Twilight out of the way while the creature's claw descends towards Spike's face cutting one of Spike's eye. "Spike!"Twilight's cry could be heard.Spike fell back to the ground and started screaming while covering his eye.
"Wux re plythu kepla'nas ekess xkhat sia gribkoan!" The creature continue to speak it's strange language to him.
Spike are you okay...." Twilight stood silent seeing that Spike left eye had a large scar."Spike can you see with that eye? Spike?"
"N-no! I can't even open it!"Spike cried out. Spike tried to grab his other sword from his back however the creature continue to charge at him only to be stuck by magic. Spike now looking with his one and good eye saw Twilight stepping forward with her horn glowing.Get away from him!"
Spike could see the creature growling and charging at Twilight who teleported behind him and using her magic at the creature shooting her magic at it. Twilight kept blasting her magic at the creature yet it couldn't be subdue.
"What in the world are you!"Twilight shouted at the creature who was moving closer to her.
"Hofiba!"Coi ouithic wux geou xikin mrith dout iejir!"The creature roar as it pounced on Twilight. Twilight begin the panic as the creature's saliva drool down her face.The creature roar while Twilight begin to scream in terror.
Twilight saw Spike jumping from one of the tree with his sword stabbing the creature's head. Spike kept holding on while the creature trying to shake him off,Twilight saw that the creature started to move slower hoping that Spike could hang on much longer. Spike continue to hang on only to notice that the creature sank its teeth at Spikes waist cloth and spun him around,the creature begin to stumble and threw Spike headfirst to a nearby tree. Spike's couldn't stand but was leaning on the tree. He couldn't speak as well but still saw with his eyes however beginning to close, this must be taken from the impact from it's throw. His eyesight was getting blurry but saw a purple figure coming towards him.
"Spike! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh!" Twilight could be heard."Spike just keep your eye open I need you to stay awake! Please Spike...oh my gosh that's a lot of blood! Spike could see Twilight prancing around trying to come up with something,he could even see her crying.
"Oh my gosh! Girls where are you! Spike is hurt! Please aaah!" Twilight freaked out seeing Spike fell to his side.Spike could see and feel Twilight picking him up and lean him back to the tree."Spike! Please just keep opening your eyes whatever you do don't close them,I going to stay here so you wo-wait i hear something I think its the girls I won't be long Spike I swear!"
Spike saw Twilight quickly running to the opposite direction. Spike vision continue to fade only seeing a boot from someone.
"Your friend will come but know this." The unidentified voice begins to speak to Spike who was already going to pass out from his injury."What you don't know this is that something big is coming,you won't know but will tell you when your better.....good luck surviving Wilhelm."
That was the last thing Spike heard as he close his eye. What he saw was pitch black and a slumber that felt.....right. Spike for some reason didn't want to let it end so continue to not wake up.
Wilhelm started to pack up after talking with Luna a few minutes ago.
"Hey! Are you ready or not?" Wilhelm was ready for a replied however heard silent.He started to have doubt ."Charis?"
("I'm not going!") Wilhelm heard and sigh.He step out of his tent to see Charis stomping the ground with her paws however Wilhelm sat beside her.
"Why don't you wanna go?"
("You know why! You're going to revert me to that form in front of them!)
"You need to trust.....
("I will never trust them equestrians!Give me one reason why I should trust them!)
"You trusted me." What Wilhelm said quickly made her even more quiet. "I was a more of a complete stranger then they are,tell me how am I different then them."
("It all started when we first met,")
8 months ago...
Wilhelm strolled around the forest from a job he accepted in Ponyville. The job was about a Timberwolf sighting but at first there was no description for what it did.He was having second thoughts about this job as he roam the forest more to see if he could find it so it will never bother the town however he heard a cry. Wilhelm was startle about it so he quickly head straight towards the sound, when he arrive he saw the pony who he accepted the job from attacking the Timberwolf with a group.
"Good your here.We made the job easier for you."The pony spoke at Wilhelm and continue."All you got to do is drive that sword to its head." The pony finished talking so he can see what Wilhelm has to say.
"I won't."
"Huh!? I gave you a job! You got to do what you've been told!"
"Has this creature even attack this town."
"Well.."
"TELL THE TRUTH!"
"Okay! No but Timberwolves are dangerous!"
"Not all Timberwolves are dangerous and if you leave maybe I will show you how dangerous I am."Wilhelm said to group as they slowly left from his sight. Wilhelm walk towards the it as it growled at him.
"Shh its okay they are not going to hurt you anymore I promise that."Wilhelm reached out his claws out and started petting the timberwolf."Where I am from Timberwolfs and Hellhounds are favorable creatures we even had a forest for them to never be disturbed."
The timberwolf looked at him seeing kindness on his face.Wilhelm place the creature's head on his lap he sat there as the creature closed his eye.
"Don't worry I will protect you,You can trust me."
Present...
("When I was with you I never trusted anyone, what if they take you away from me! I just can't let that happened.")
"Charis you really are like a pup."Wilhelm chuckled as Charis pounced on him.
("I am not a pup! That form just made me look like it.") Charis shouted hearing him laugh more.
"I said I won't leave you,seriously I will go mad if this didn't happened."Charis was stunned just as Wilhelm said those word."You were the first creature that made me smile I really glad I met y... *Boom!*
"What the!"
("Whats going on!")
"I sense powerful magic but they are not equestrians. what could it be?Dopplers, Direwolfs?" Wilhelm began to think more however one creature was on his mind."I know what creature is it....Draconequus! Charis lets go!"Wilhelm said as he mounted Charis following the chaotic magic, what Wilhelm was more worry was the princess as they were in danger even more.
The castle.
"My my princess I would have thought you will be more...fun."Discord taunt the princess as they were trap inside a cage.
"You will pay for this Discord!"Celestia shouted as she prepared a spell at Discord only to be poof as it touch the bars."What the?"
"You see princess I predicted that. I known all of your spells what did you expected that is why I locked you in a cage leaving my behind unguarded. With you and your sister out of the picture I can finally let disharmony rule Equestria."Discord started to giggle."I'm sorry princess but hearing me say that bring a smile to my face.What shall I do throw a party,hmm no no to boring maybe a feast or....
"You talk to much!"
"Huh?"Discord heard the noise only to be punch in the face by a short stranger.
"What the?"That is what all of what Discord said as he crashed to the wall.
Celestia and Luna watch as the cage disappear from their surrounding.
Celestia stood in awe, no pony in all of Equestria couldn't physically attack Discord.
"Princess!"Celestia froze seeing the unknow creature was helping Luna up."Are you okay?"
"We are fine thanks to thee, is just that Discord caught us by surprise."
"Discord?"
"The creature thou just strike,he is know as the lord of chaos,he wants to bring choas to Equestria."
"I seen enough chaos and I won't allow it to come to another realm! Princess take your sister somewhere safe I will deal with Discord"
"Are you mad!"Celestia shouted at Wilhelm."This is the lord of chaos your'e speaking about.You don't know what your facing.You may have landed one lucky punch but Discord's chaotic magic is very unpredictable."
"It's quite alright princess of the sun.You think this is the first time I fought creatures similar in my realm. Just trust me."
"I-"
"Sister please yield."Luna interrupted her. Celestia stood where she was still looking at this "Wilhelm".
"We must find the elements within the minutes."Luna said to Celestia who sigh in defeat.
"Just hold him off why we find the Elements!"Celestia said to Wilhelm as they teleported to the castle.Wilhelm his attention to seeing that something was appearing out of the rubble. Discord was about to speak until he felt like an object was in his mouth.What Wilhelm saw Discord spit on the ground, he didn't knew what it was and bent over and pick up a strange item from the ground.
"What is this?"Discord thought and open his hand."My tooth you knock out my tooth!"Discord shouted as the ground starts to shake."DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!!"
Wilhelm smile."the enemy."
Discord snap his claws create copies of Wilhelm.The copies drew the swords out from the sheathe and starting charging at Wilhelm who Wilhelm dodge their attack with his sheathe. Wilhelm grab one of the copies sword from their back and stab one of them in the chest causing them to poof. Wilihelm saw the copies backing up as well as their arms shaking.
"What are you just standing there?! Go after him."Discord shouted at them but they are stared at Discord and shook their heads."You are useless!?"Discord snap his hands disappearing the copies.
"A copy is just a copy.If that what you got then whats the point in even fighting you."
"You little cretin!"Discord roared teleport in front of Wilhelm and punch Wilhelm with his lion paw despite that,Wilhelm didn't even flinch."What the!"Wilhelm clutch Discord's lion paw and glare directly at his face.
"I am no cretin,You are call the lord of chaos you are a joke!"Wilhelm threw Discord right at the wall and continue."I met your kind before but you just piss me off!"Wilhelm roar at Discord however one of his claws gash at Wilhelm's cheek.Discord use this time to escape and teleport to the woods.Discord soared fast through the woods.
"Who is that? I know all of the princesses guards and knight but this is just..argh! I don't like retreating but ahh!"Discord stop seeing Wilhelm in front of him."What how did you?"Wilhelm lifted his arm up despite not knowing that his arm begin to glow. Discord began to panic while his body was levitating.
"Your not the only one who does magic. Before you die I will *augh!*" Wilhelm started gripping his chest while he sees Discord vanish from his sights."Damn it!This can't be happening not now *argh!*"Wilhelm teleported back to the castle although he made it inside his leg felt wobbly making him hard to walk straight.
"Wilhelm!"He heard someone call his name but leaned on the wall while moving forwarded.Wilhelm continue move from to hallways after hallways up until he glimpse upon a infirmary.Wilhelm open the cabinets pulling out some medicine at that moment pull his backpack out,he quickly search through it.He pulled a flask out of his backpack place it on the floor he was about to continue but his arms was feeling weak.
"Wilhelm! He heard the noise again but eyesight was about to fade although he felt his head was being touch by someone.
"Wilhelm..... Wilhelm.....Wilhelm!"The shout shook him causing his eyes to wide opening looking directly at a figure.
"The medicine.....combine....it.....to...the herb......in....backpack......make....remedy"Wilhelm said struggling to speak but black outs. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ "Wilhelm!"
Spike laid on the bed for quite some time. He could see that he's been fed because his rib cage was showing yet doesn't have the baby fat that he use to had. Spike lifted him claw on and stare at his mark, it kept blinking for some reason then glowed again as usual.
"Maybe I can tell Twilight how I can use magic." Spike thought. "If Wilhelm can do it then maybe I can be taught." Spike kept thinking until he heard the door opened.
"Spike!" Spike heard Pinkie voice at loud as it nearly startled him. He saw a pink blur moving towards him finally revealing her body while Pinkie giving him a large bonecrushing bearhug "Oh my gosh I can't believe your safe! We kept searching for you for hours and hours and hours and hours! We were about to head home until we heard the large roars and we were scared out of our minds! But Applejack was like "Come on sugarcubes we have to see what that was."But Rarity was like."But isn't that too dangerous darlings we shouldn't go there."But then Rainbow Dash was like"Um did anypony see Pinkie Pie?" Pinkie Pie was gonna continue but saw Spike's face turning blue."Sorry I just super happy I found both of you!"
"Wait you were the one that found me and Twilight?" Spike replied to Pinkie Pie who replied to with a nod.Spike was going to say more however he saw his friends coming in the room along with Twilight.
"Spike I'm glad your safe!"Twilight went to Spike to see if he was okay."How are you feeling?"
"I'm good... apart that I still can't see the bandage over my left eye. Are you okay though that monster didn't hurt you!?"
"Forget about me what about you? The doctors said that your heartbeat stopped! Spike you actually died!"
"I..I died?!"Spike said only to see his friends more concern.
"But Spike you saved my life and I'm grateful for that!" Twilight said to Spike who was blushing for her words. "I never seen you like this when we were kids!"
"Wait I did something like this before?" Spike asked hearing a gasp from Twilight. "Spike how can you forget that you remember what you did in Canterlot?" Twilight said to Spike who still looked confused."Spike remember what happened to me with that stray dog?" Twilight still asked Spike who shook his head.
"Twilight none of that never existed I'm sure it's a drea-
"It wasn't a dream Spike! How could you forgotten that!" Twilight looked back seeing her friends staring at her.
"Girls I'm sorry I-
"Did I came here too soon? "Twilight and Spike eyes widen after hearing that voice.
"Aurora!?Twilight and Spike scream after seeing her right in front of her while the rest of the girls just stared at Aurora's appearance.Her appearance wasn't what Spike said. She wasn't even a Alicorn!
"Aurora your a..."
"I took the liberty of using a Hideillian body, you want me to explain?"Aurora explain seeing the everypony in the room waiting for a explanation."My body is a illusion,I can create anybody but I rather choose a hideillian for one reason....I despises walking on four legs. So I have one question where were you?!"
"I um..."
"Hey buzz off Spike got hurt!"
"I don't care if his arms comes off what I need him to do was to meet me at the temple!"
"What is wrong with you!"Rainbow Dash stared shouted directly at Aurora's face."Spike is our friend and yet you use him like a toy for your own game!"
"I'm warning you don't..."
"Or what!"Rainbow Dash kept shouting back.Twilight notice that all of the lights were blinking and that glass from the room were starting to crack.
"HOW DARE YOU!" Aurora shouted at Rainbow Dash,this shout might even rival the royal voice."You stupid mortals!No one shouts at a member of the Ancient Royalty!"
"Aurora stop!" Everypony in the room all looked at Spike."Just don't yell at them I do whatever you say."
"Spike!"All of the mane six were stunned for what Spike said.
"Excellent then." Aurora claws glowed throwing a magical beam at Spike causing his body to heal.
"Hey my injuries! They gone!' Spike said only to hear a sigh from Aurora.
"Wounds from your past can't be heal so you would have to look with one eye now."Aurora stated as she leaves the room."Hope he doesn't realize my magic didn't work.Why are Voidwalkers are so stupid,I guess even those who are cursed from death never know."Aurora continue to chuckled knowing that the fun has just started.
"Spike are you sure you should be eaten that much!" Twilight said seeing Spike munching on his food."I know you hadn't eaten but are you sure going back will be safe?"
"I'm sure but I think you should come with me!"
"What me!? Spike it was my fault that you got injured....
"Its not your fault Twi!" Spike interrupted her while swallow his food."We never went that deep to the forest this was just a wakeup call, however we should be more careful! All we know is that...thing is dead now so it should be a easier now."Spike explain to Twilight."Hey have seen my robes?"
"Rarity is getting them for you along with Applejack."
"Why did she need Applejack for?" Spike question Twilight.
"Well it's because the sword was too heavy for her seriously Spike how can you hold it?!" Twilight said to Spike who replied with a shrug.Twilight watch as Spike kept eating his food,but her attention was that mark.The way it glowed,the way it was blinking.Spike said that this mark is close to a cutie mark but the way his mark is this is clearly more different.
"Say Twilight you know that there is a library in the temple?"Spike said seeing Twilight's ears shot up.
"Really!?Just think of it Spike we might be the first who have some knowledge of your race!"
"The third Twi."
"What?!"
"You forgot that Princess Celestia and Luna knows about them."Spike finished eaten seeing Twilight levitating her saddlebags.Everthing was quiet until the library door opened.
"Good morning Spike!"Applejack was the first to appear greeting Spike." How are y'all feeling?"
"To tell you the truth never better!" Spike said as he sees his sword on Aj's back.
"My word Spike why do you carry such a weapon?" Rarity appears second handing Spike his robes. Spike quickly put them on from undergarment,pants boots,then hooded robes.
"Much better!"Spike said as he place his sword belt around his waist."Thanks girls,I'm really grateful that you watched over my things."
"No problem Spike anything for a friend sugarcube."
"Your clothing were special perhaps you could let me observe them again."
"For you Rarity of course!" Spike said as he puts on his robes."Come on Twilight we have to go!"
"Okay!" Twilight thanked her friend and quickly catch up to Spike. Normally both of them didn't like to go to the Everfree Forest but this was too important. Hours passed and finally they made it to the temple,Spike could see Twilight eyeing it, gazing at it as if it was the last book in Equestria.
"This is where I found my weapons but with Aurora here, and Twilight?"
"Yes Spike?"
"This time...no more secrets." Spike said to Twilight who nodded in approval.Spike and Twilight sees Aurora setting on a pillar humming a tune.
"What took you so long." Aurora said as she put one of her legs on top of the other.
"Sorry Aurora we understand you hate waiting."
"Of course I hate waiting,you mustn't let a ancient royalty wait."
"Is there something you need from Spike." Twilight asked Aurora.
"I do you see this pillar." Aurora asked them both who replied with a nod."You see I need Spike to place his sin mark claw on the pillar."
"Sin mark? Is this what it call?"
"Yes Spike you need to touch the pillar with your sin mark claws to bring the real you out."
"The real me? You saying that this isn't who I am!?"
"You think all heidillan are stupid! Something is preventing you from changing and the pillar will will cleanse it, you will not look like a dragon anymore, it will change you back into a heidillan."Spike paused for a bit,he couldn't believe it the way he looked wasn't really him,His appearance was a lie,a fake.
"Alright I'll do it."
"Spike!"
"And you!" Aurora snapped at Twilight."You shouldn't interrupted this,if you do I have no problem ending your life!" Twilight gulped.Spike walk towards the pillar realizing that it was starting to glow as he walked closer to it.Spike placed his palm at the pillar feeling a surge of energy going inside him.
"Argh!"
"Spike!"
"What did I tell you!" Spike begin screaming in pain while the pillar continue glow even more.The pillar glow so bright it shattered into pieces launching Spike into the air dropping him hard on the floor.Twilight ran towards Spike but paused when seeing his knew appearance.He still has green and purple scales however his spikes were replaced with green spiky hair and his snot was smaller. He even has ear but were long and pointy.For the first time ever she didn't Spike the dragon, what she saw was Spike the heidillan.
"Dear sister he saved us from Discord why are thou not joy to gain a new friend!" Luna saw Celestia sigh and shook her head.
"Luna he punch Discord!"
"Yes and we are glad that Wilhelm have done that!"
"Luna has anypony landed a physical strike at Discord." Celestia asked Luna who remained quiet.
"Sister why are you asking us this?"
"Luna....even we couldn't landed a strike at him and Discord always blocked it."
"Sister...I"
"What ever he did isn't what dragons are known for?!"
"Sister never call him that!" Luna snapped at Celestia who was surprise at Luna's outburst."Wilihelm is a fine warrior and I am proud to have the heidillian as a friend.
"Heidillian?"
"Yes dear sister,Wilhelm is not a dragon he is another race perhaps maybe not from Equestria."
"I see where is this.."Wilhelm?" Celestia said.
"In the infirmary."Luna said as she lead her to a room. She sees the bed which was now empty."What in the world! He's gone!"Luna continue to search around but found nothing however she felt something underneath his pillow.It was a letter before she could read it Celestia leviated the letter to her and read it out loud.
Princess Luna thank you for your assistance, I'm sorry that I couldn't stay in the castle tonight for I am needed elsewhere. If we meet again I will stay this time and tell you my travel and who I am. But for now I must take my leave knowing that the moon will be our companion in this journey at night.
Sincerely your friend
Wilhelm
Everfree Forest
Wilhelm watch the castle from a far distance.He tighten his cloth around his eye and place the scarf around his neck.
("Are you sure you want to leave?")
"I do after all a princess will be busy all the time plus I spent way to much time with royalties." Wilhelm rode Charis away from the castle mumbling something.
"But I will love to see her again."
One year later
"Sister is everything okay?" Celestia spoke to her little sister who was raising the moon.
"We are fine Tia."
Celestia smile from Luna's replied."I'm glad your okay,You been happily raising the moon after Wilhelm's letter."
"As we told you before dear sister, Wilhelm is a good friend he never wanted a reward for helping us."
"Yes that is true maybe when he arrives we cou-
"Princess!" A guard was galloping towards the princess."
"What is it?"
"We spotted a hooded figure coming over this way we think it's him." Luna eyes perk up.
"Where did you find the figure?"
"We can show you." the guard flew out of the castle seeing Luna following behind him. Luna continue to observe until she sees a hooded cloak figure limping at the forest. Luna descend down and was about to speak however she saw something different from Wilhelm. The cloak was all ragged and tattered and she could see underneath. She saw red scales underneath his feet and realize that this isn't Wilhelm.
"Who are you?" Luna spoke seeing a gust of wind blew back the hood. Luna gasp. What she saw a long red hair female dragon limping towards her.
"Help...me..."Was all she said as she fail down only to be caught by Luna.
Wilhelm close his eyes and took a deep breath. He took out his claws from his pocket in front of his chest. He then place his palms facing each other. Wilhelm could feel something coursing around his body and begin to growl.
"Grrrraaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh!" Wilhelm focus on his magicek energy as his growl begin to turn into a yell then scream. The enter ground begin to shake while Wilhelm continue to focus. He could hear the his energy flowing around him almost like a strong wind.
"No still not enough!" Wilhelm mumbled to himself noticing that his hood is off thanks to the power up."For two long years I spent in this world and now I know that I can't stop training!"
2 years ago
"Groan!"
"Luna stop touching her ears!"
"We're sorry dear sister but her ears are are strange and pointy."
"Luna I-"
"What!" The stranger open her eyes seeing Luna and Celestia gazing at her."Who are you? Where am I!"
"Your safe the doctors check to see if you were hurt but what is your name?"
"Aria but my friends call me Crimson."Aria continue to get up seeing she had no clothes on. Her face turn bright red as she cover herself with the blanket."W-where are my clothes!"
"Your attire were badly damage so we will be making you a new attire instead."
"You don't understand even if you make a new attire for me I still need another one over my clothes."
"Which is?” Luna said to Aria who checks became a lighter red.
“It’s sort of like a a set of clothes but covers some parts we can’t show.”
“You mean undergarments?” Celestia said to Aria who replied with a nod.
“I will inform our tailor to create these clothing to you.” Luna saw Celestia leaving the room. Luna knew that both Aria and her were alone.
“Young Aria may we have a word with thou ?”
“Sure?” Aria replied with confusion.
“Are thou a heidillian?” Aria eyes widen from Luna’s question.
“How do you know what I am?”
“Myself along with my sister were save by a heidillan! We don’t suppose thou knows Wilhelm?”
“What!” Luna was shocked hearing Aria who eyes begins to reveal tears.”H-he still alive?”
“Aria does thou know Wilhelm?”
“Yes I do! Wilhelm saved us from the Iron Claws after what happened to Junktown I thought I lost him forever!”
“Junktown...We heard Wilhelm talk about it even about his brother.”
“So he told you all of this?”
“Yes but we know little can thou inform us about everything?”
“Okay I will tell you because I was there.” Aria told Luna everything about the war,she even told them about the Iron Claws.She told Luna how the Iron Claws care not for anyone leaving them dead or the ones who lived which were now homeless or now insane. She told them about Wilhelm this made Luna shocked.
“He was once a Iron Claw!”
“Yes a general.At a young age Wilhelm became a general at the age of 6, he served them for two years until he realize what the Iron Claws was actually doing!”
“What was it?”
“The Iron Claws purpose was to genocide everybody other than themselves!”Luna eyes widen.
“T-that just barbaric! Why were they won’t to do this!”
“They want to do this to purify the world of the sinners. For the Eternal Fire.”
“w-we see.” Luna said and thought to herself.”Wilhelm now we understand your angry...the Iron Claws are monsters much more than Sombra and Discord.”
“When I escape I wanted to find Wilhelm and join the providence army only to become a slave.” Luna saw Aria lifted up her arm revealing iron cuffs.
“That’s awful.”
“They were going to sell me to some Iron Claw noble but escape.”
“Aria we are sorry please you can stay in our castle as long as you like.”
“No its o-
“NO we refuse you decline please we tell our sister to rest in one of our quarters please remain here!” Aria saw Luna quickly leave the room and chuckled.
“Perhaps this time I won’t be hiding any more.” Aria said as she turn to her side.”Wilhelm please be okay.”
Elsewhere.
Wilhelm continue to travel around to the forest seeing a castle and smile.”Luna I’m back!”
"Argh!" What happened?!" Spike said opening his eyes seeing new surroundings.This wasn't the temple he sees no it was a shack or a cabin.
Spike got up seeing his robes folded for him.He was confuse as how he got here.Spike put his robes on and exited the room he sees that he still in the Everfree forest.Spike place his hood on only to feel something strange.Spike reached to his head to feel that his Spikes were gone it felt like mane....hair.
"Woah."Spike then felt something pointy as well.
"Spike!"
"Twilight!" Spike saw Twilight running to him once she hug him arm seems to be pulling on his new ears.
"Ow ow!"
"Sorry!" Twilight said as she place him down she looked at Spike's new appearance.The pointy ears,the hair now covering his head, a smaller snout,and his pupils from his eyes....well one eye seems to be different than his normal eyes,for some reason his scar is glowing.
"I look different don't I."Spike said.
"Yeah you do,you don't look like a dragon anymore. Twilight chuckled seeing Spike laughing too.
"I guess this is how a heidillan looks by the way how did you found this place?"
"Actually We were found by somepony else?
"Oh by who?"
"By me." Spike heard a new voice and turn his head and his eyes widen.The voice was wearing a black boots that went up her knees,a black skirt which her short top was the same color wearing a grey open trench coat.
"Y-your heidillan!" Spike said in shock.
"I am but more importantly who are you!" The female heidillan spoke.
"I am Spike and this is my sister Twilight."
"Sister? Why do you call the four legs sister?"
"My parents adopted him when he was just a baby."
"I see...my name is Mira I been living here close to....5 months." Mira said.
"Well we love to stay and chat but we have to get going." Twilight and Spike were about leave however Spike's mark started to blink.
"What is going on?" Spike shouted seeing Mira puled out a long weapon.She then points it at Spike.
"Were you follow?!"
"What! I don't know what your talking about?"
"Did the Iron Claws followed you!" Spike's eye widen."Did they!"Mira was struck by one of Twilight's magic causing her to fall back.
"I don't know who the Iron Claws are but you can't threaten s-
"Are you sure they are here!" Spike said in a scared tone which surprise Twilight.
"Spike?"
"I don't know I-I just freaked out! The Iron Claws ruined my life and I was happy to get away from that land!"
"I-I didn't knew they still exist not after what they did to Wilhelm."Spike said holding his anger.
"Spike."Twilight place a hoof on Spike shoulder.
"I-I don't think I can handle it,I mean I beat that monster but the Iron Claws?They are real monster! They don't want rule they want to wipe out everyone!" Spike said and sigh."Thank you for your hospitality Mira but can I ask you for one thing?"
"What do you need?"
"A cloak my friends would freak out with my new appearance." Mira nodded and started to go back to her cabin or shack.Spike and Twilight waited as Mira return with a cloak.
"You could come with us."Twilight spoke to Mira who shook her head.Twilight and Spike said their goodbyes to Mira who return back to her "house".Both of them stayed quiet making there way back to Ponyville.
"What are you going to do? Twilight said breaking the silence.
"We need to talk to the princesses."Spike replied seeing Twilight's jaw drop.
"Are you sure? What about the others we should tell them!"
"Twilight I can't I need to write a letter to Celestia and I need to speak with them alone."Twilight's eyes widen.Did becoming a heidillian boost his confidence!
Spike and Twilight enters Ponyville getting everyponies attention.Spike saw some mares gossiping as he made his way inside Sugarcube corner.
"Spike have you ate at all?"
"I haven't ate in close to a week." Spike replied seeing Twilight's eyes widen.
"Hello there Twilight who's your friend!" the loud pink pony arrive bouncing to their table.
"Pinkie this is Spike he....."Twilight pause for a bit try to think of something."Spike thought he would look cool wearing the cloak.....to match with robe!" Twilight said to Pinkie who seems to look through Twilight's lie.
"Ok! We does look cool by the way!"
O...k maybe she didn't see through."
"Hey Pinkie could you bake something special for Spike he hasn't ate for over a week since coming back."
"*gasp!* That's terrible! I will tell them right away." Pinkie who disappear from their sight was seen talking to the cakes.
"Saying I look cool?" Spike said seeing Twilight smile.
"It was the only thing I could think of?" Twilight saw Spike chuckled seeing the bangs from his hair starting to fall covering one of his eye."So your really gonna talk to the princesses alone?"
"I have to Twi. I just don't want you girls involve....what if Mira was right? Are the Iron Claws in Equestria?"Spike sigh covering his face with his claw. Spike felt two hooves gently pulled down his claws.
"Spike I know your afraid but I am going with you no matter what!"
"Twi-
"No Spike! You help me through some tough times as a filly let me repay that favor." Spike blushed seeing Twilight smile then looked at his claw which were holding Twilight's hoofs for quite a while.
"Um..Twilight?"
"Yeah?"
"Can you let go of my claws."
"Huh?" Twilight saw her hoofs holding Spike with everypony staring. She quickly let go revealing a massive blush.
Elsewhere in Ponyville.......
"Is that the target?"
"It is once he is alone we can...prepare for extraction." The voice said watching Spike with the binoculars.
Sugarcube corner........
Twilight watch Spike gorging his food similar Pinkie Pie. He didn't stop eating only to ask for more. The more Spike ate the more the plates pile.
"Ah! that hit the spot!" Spike rubbed his belly seeing Twilight's staring at him."What?"
"You ate 4 cakes,34 cupcakes at the same time!" Twilight saw Spike chuckled.
"Would it be wrong if I ask for dessert?" Twilight scold at Spike."Maybe we can go!" Spike and Twilight went to thank the cakes and started heading out.Spike and Twilight return to the Library only to not realize they were being followed.
"Spike I'm going to take a shower watch the library for me?" Spike nodded trying to pick up a book to read.He heard the running water upstairs as he felt his hood being pulled down.
"Huh!?"
"Oh my gosh they are so pointy."
"Pinkie I aaahhh!" Pinkie begin to gently touch them leaving Spike blushing.
"Pointing! pointing! how did you find this costume it feels real!"
"That because they are real!" Spike heard Pinkie laughing as she continues.
"Spike you look adorable now with the hair and this pointy pointy ears!"
"I'm not adorable!"Spike got out of Pinkie's grip placing his hood back on."Pinkie promise me that you won't tell the girls about this!"
"but Spike?"
"No I need you to Pinkie Promise."Spike saw the Pink party pony gasp.
"Ok...cross my heart,hope to fly,stick a cupcake in my eye!" Pinkie giggled as he bounce towards the door.
"I don't get that pony."
"Neither do I."Spike jump seeing Aurora sitting on the chair eating a cupcake."You seem to covered who you really are?"
"The girls sees me as a dragon not a hideillan."Spike heard Aurora giggle as she place one of her leg over the other.
"All hideillans are not native to equestria they are from another realm call Obelisk."
"Where are you from?"
"Neither I am a ancient royalty my home is with my celestial beings."
"Don't tell Twilight but I am going back to the temple I need to find more."
"Of course most hideillans have a thrill in going alone." Spike gave her a puzzled look and begin to start running out of the Library.
2 minutes later.
Twilight got out of the showers as she notice the library was quiet.
"Must be reading a book." Twilight thought drying her hair.Twilight descended down only to see the Library door wide open."Oh no!"Twilight's eyes widen hearing laughter.
"I thought he will be smarter even as hideillan he seems to more stupider."Aurora spoke to a angry Twilight.
"You didn't stop him!?"
"I am a ancient royalty I have no business helping mortals."Twilight glare at her then started to gallop towards the Everfree forest.
Elsewhere........
Mira gathered her equipment towards the temple holding her rifle which was strap on her shoulders.
"Maybe there is something I could sell? Mira step forward as her mark started to glow.She pulled her rifle out and pointed it."Come out or I will fire!"
"Don't it's me!" Cried a familiar voice.
"Wait....Spike?"Spike stepped out of the tree with his arms up."What are you doing here?!"
"I was about to say the same thing?" Spike saw Mira didn't put down her rifle.
"I...I need money so I can find a new place....A forest cannot protect me if the Iron claws are here...I....I" Spike went towards her putting her gun down while wrapping his arm around her.
"Hey it's okay I saw what they can do,I think I can help you." Spike saw Mira's ears perk up from her long hair."I know the princess and I can vouch for you to stay at her castle."
"What! Spike I can't!"
"Hey if you don't want to I can just tell my friends to help you settle in Ponyville."Spike saw Mira blushing only to be interrupted by the sound of clapping."What the!" Spike turn his head seeing two figures clapping. The two figures were wearing black uniforms,having their weapons strap on their shoulders yet they look different.The first one was almost his height,light green scales,and dark green hair. The second was larger but wear more armor on his uniform.
"Very beautiful indeed Aeon!"
"Aeon?" Spike looked confuse hearing laughter.
"My you don't even remember your real name?"
"My....real name...is Aeon?"
"Of course let me introduce my self I am Lieutenant Lyon of the Iron Claws we have been searching for you Aeon or should I say General Wilhelm!" Spike gasp hearing Lyon say that name. Spike felt his anger rise up pulling out his sword shocking Mira.
"I am not Wilhelm or Aeon! My name is Spike!"
"Spike stop Lyon is too strong!" Spike ignore her as he started charging a Lyon. Spike swung his sword towards Lyon however saw the sword went threw him like air. Spike just frost seeing Lyon grab his sword.
"My turn!" Lyon's mark glow as he punch Spike hard in the stomach.
"Gwah!" Spike felt the punch however this punch for some reason felt like multiple punches. Spike fell to the gasping for air clinching his stomach.
"I thought you can take a punch maybe using a time spell wasn't needed."Spike felt his breathing again and puff a large smoke covering the entire area. Lyon smile using a wind spell to clear the smoke with one slash.
"He's inside the temple!"
"Good!" Lyon and the soldier dashed inside the temple leaving a frighting Mira on her knees.
Spike running hearing laughter behind him. Spike saw Lyon appearing in front of him,probably due to his time spell.Spike saw Lyon barely missing his sword strike cutting only his upper robe completely.Spike swung his sword at Lyon who blocked it which shattered Spike's sword.Spike pulled his other sword at using the broken sword to parry all of Lyon's attack.
"Your pretty good but you won't last long!"Spike heard the other solider running towards him with a battle roar charging his axe towards Spike who ducked almost hitting Lyon.
"Watch it!"
"Sorry bo-aah!"Spike stab the broken blade to a expose part of the solider who hit Spike crashing him to the wall towards a another room. Spike started running hearing the walls behind him being blasted.
Spike panted hiding inside the temple wall he covered his breathe seeing that only the lower part of his robe survive, Spike gripped his sword which was broken hearing two footsteps getting near.Spike continue to hide knowing they were looking for him.
"Darn it! I should have listen to Mira!" Spike thought as he felt something a metal object touching his head.
"*gun cocked*" Spike quickly turn around while the only sound heard was a large bang echoing the halls.
Spike panted hiding inside the temple wall he covered his breathe seeing that only the lower part of his robe survive, Spike gripped his sword which was broken hearing two footsteps getting near.Spike continue to hide knowing they were looking for him.
"Darn it! I should have listen to Mira!" Spike thought as he felt something a metal object touching his head.
"*gun cocked*" Spike quickly turn around while the only sound heard was a large bang echoing the halls.
Spike quickly moved seeing the bullet scraping the side of his face.
"Gwah!"
Spike turn his head seeing the soldier neck squirting out gasping for air while blood dropping to the floor,he let go of his axe only to be caught by Spike.Spike puffed out a smoke again As Lyon saw a figure and started shooting it. As the smoke cleared out he saw his soldier dead body has more gunholes.
"Little bastard thinks hes smart I give that." Lyon saw a blood trail and started following him."I impress with you...raise by four legs yet know how to fight."
Spike held his breathe holding the axe tight while carrying the strange little object that made the bang noise.It was loud but it was strong against them. Spike hide in a pillar only to sees Lyon pulled out another weapon larger than the other one seeing him smile as he pumps it.
"You know how to hide." Lyon shot at the pillar spooking Spike."Come on out!"He shot another pillar getting close to Spike."I'm serious!" Lyon shot two more pillar giving enough time for Spike to run towards another room. Lyon aim his gun towards Spike pressing the trigger however no bullets came out.
"Damn it!" Lyon strap the gun to his back chasing Spike with his sword out. Spike kept running as Lyon appeared in front of him. Spike swung the axe at Lyon blocked it while his free claw punched Spike at his face. Spike shook his head hitting Lyon with the blunt part of the axe. Lyon step back but smiled even though the bleeding come from his mouth.
"Hahaha! My blood boils from this fight!" Spike charge at him being punch from a invisible punch."Use magic Aeon! or you can't!" Spike felt multiple invisible strikes landed from both his body and his face. Spike could tell he was using his time spell he uses them for a short time however they were effective. Lyon continuing laughing using his time spell to attack Spike landing again multiple invisible strikes.Spike cough out blood gasping,those punch hurt him alot. He needs to find a way to beat him.
"Mmmhahaha! Why are you so weak I'm sure you don't mind if we finished this in another way?"Lyon pulled up his sleeves while still smiling at Spike."As you know we could turn into giant kaiju just with our greed but....we found another form stronger!"
"What!" Spike shouted seeing Lyon bit his arm grabbing his head with his two claws yelling. Spike didn't watch as he ran trying to find a way out of the temple. His mind was in panic seeing the way out. He saw Mira who was with Twilight.
"Spike how dare you I-
"Run!"
"What?" Twilight saw Spike face with fear hearing the temple roof break seeing a giant dragon head roaring."What is that!"They saw the large hideilian destroy the temple roof standing before them.He was larger than Spike's greed for sure yet the appearance looked different.Spike realize that his uniform stretch out with this giant form. Spike saw his giant hand getting near him as he didn't realize how fast he was.
"Spike!" Twilight gallop towards Spike pushing Spike out of the way only to be caught by Lyon's grip.
"Aaaahhh!"
"Twilight!"
"Hahaha!" Lyon laugh with his monster voice and begin to crush Twilight who scream in pain.
"Lyon stop!"
"Surrender Aeon or this four leg die." Lyon starting to crush Twilight who scream in pain again leaving Spike to drop his axe.
"Spike don't!"Spike quickly looked up seeing Twilight who was crying."Don't dot it! Spike please just.....forget about me protect the girls for me!" Spike was speechless from those two choice. What will he do? Surrender or let the mare close to family die because of his past?
"Hahahah!" Lyon stood above them."Now Aeon! What is your choice surrender or die!"
"I....."Spike held the axe shaking.
"Spike."Spike raise his head.
"Please....don't give up...forget about me!"
"No....No! I can't!"
"Spike everything I ever done was because of you!" Spike stayed quiet hearing Twilight."I was always jealous of your bravery when we were small I wanted to be like you!"
"What do you mean!" Spike said.
"Spike.....I.....I.....lo.."
The talk was interupted as Lyon threw Twilight in his mouth swallowing her.
"Hahaha! Four legs stupid for interfering with us!"
Spike gasp for what happened.He just stood there while Lyon burped.Spike started crying but not in sadness no this was anger.
"How dare you!"
"Huh?" Lyon saw a black aura surrounding Spike.
"How dare you! How dare you! Aaaarrghh!" Spike scream shaking the entire forest.
"What the hell?"
"I.....will.....make you suffer!" Spike close his claws not noticing that a spark appear around it."I will avenge Twilight! And get the Iron Claws away from my world!" Spike threw a punch while a lighting bolt came out of his claw blasted Lyon back.
"What is this!" Lyon saw Spike looking at him,he realize that his Iris was red instead of green.
Spike charge at Lyon who punch him with his giant fist. He was shocked that Spike didn't fall as he landed a punch of his pushing back the kaiju hideillan.
"Hahahaha! Yes This is what I been waiting for!"Lyon charge at Spike who continue to charge as well.Spike let out a war cry while being surrounded by the strange dark aura. Spike who glare at him with a angry stare which seems to cause the aura to grow more. Spike charge him yelling like a madman landing multiple strikes at Lyon who was shocked.
"What the hell is happening!"Lyon thought."He was weaker until I ate four leg!"Mira hide from the tree watching Spike fight him. Spike jump down turning his to her.
"Mira!"
"Huh?"
"Go to Ponyville and stay there! Lyon is mine!"
"What no! I am not leaving you alone!" Mira step forward aiming her rifle at Lyon."If you can stand up to the Iron Claws so can I!"
"Hahahah! Are you serious! How can you stop me!"
"Mira...go for the eye then!"
"Okay!"Spike and Mira walk forward to Lyon who continue to mock them.
"I have my orders but both of you shouldn't live." Lyon roar at them. Mira look at Spike who was breathing heavily.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine!" Spike said not realizing that his veins started to show up on his face.
"Spike I think your body can't hold this much power!"
"I'm okay!" Spike yelled out her."He killed Twilight and I will make sure he will pay for what he did!" Spike yelling seems to increase the aura.
"Spike." Mira muttered seeing him charge at him."This angry all from that four legs death..does he love her?"
"Arrgghh!" Spike yelled launching himself towards Lyon with a headbutt. While Spike begin to fall Mira jumped on him shooting one of his eye.
"You stupid girl!"Lyon attempted to punch her however Spike grabbed her in time only to take the hit for himself.
"Spike are you okay!?"
"I'm fine!" Spike then started to clinch his chest."Aaaaghh!"
"Spike!" Spike clinch his chest harder."Spike stop it you can't handle this power!"
"I don't care!" Spike stand up staring Lyon."He killed Twilight! I will avenge her!" Mira was pushed back from the Spike's power."He took the most important thing of my life and I will destroy him!" Spike walked towards him with his fist bursting with magical sparks. Lyon just smile doing the same thing.
"You are idiot all because of one vrrar hoinp!"
"I don't care what you said and her name is....TWILIGHT!" Spike scream knocking down multiple trees. Spike dashed towards him which Lyon didn't expect.
"What!" Spike landed a headbutt that cause the Lyon to vomit. Spike saw something falling down,he gasp seeing Twilight who was covered in vomit and saliva.
"Twilight!" He jumped towards her grabbing her.Lyon smiled knowing this was a chance.
"Hey Aeon!"
"Huh?"
"Now you both die together!" Lyon fire a magical blast from his mouth shooting both Spike and a unconscious Twilight.
"NO!" Mira froze seeing the blast taking them away from her."Spike....no,"
"Your next!"Mira went to her knees thinking this was the end.Lyon raised his leg up as he was about to squish her however stopped sensing someone behind him. Lyon looked back seeing a helmet figure wearing the same uniform although wore a trench coat and a generals hat.
Lyon sigh."What do you want General Seneshal."
"Wux jahen gavir ekess dronilnr Aeon tenpiswo!" The general spoke in a strange language.
"General with do respect speak their words."
"Your orders were to capture Aeon." The general voice was deep possibly from the helmet." Lyon saw another figure next to him. The figure was a female wearing a cloak but the difference was she wore a skirt uniform."You bought the dog with you!" The figure remove her cloak exposing herself, revealing a fox like appearance.
"I am not a dog Lyon I am a furon!"
"And I don't care! Why are you here?"
"General Angel is waiting for you Sventwielg. You will be returning to Obelisk."Lyon sigh reverting back to normal.
"Of course." Lyon walked away leaving the two alone.The both looked at Mira was about to shoot them. The furon dashed towards her. Mira froze taking a hard punch to the stomach which knocked her out.
"Wux jalla ti tepoha authot batobot Elisa."
"Understood my general. What should we do with the traitor?"
"Leave him I sense a strong four leg heading this way." Seneshal raised his claw up disappearing.
Spike step of the rubble with a new scar on his check he couldn't stand up so he crawl with Twilight on his back. Spike crawl while he didn't notice his tail was gone. he kept moving forward however the pain was too much causing him to pass out.
"Spike!" Mira's voice shouted at Spike who laid on the bed groaning.
"Spike!" Spike open his eyes quickly realizing that he was in a dark room."Oh good your awake!"
Spike got up feeling good however he saw his tail was gone,he notice that his chest was covered in bandage probably from Lyon"s blast "What the!" Spike's eyes widen knowing this place."This is Canterlot castle dungeon! Why are we in a dungeon!"
"That large white four legs locked us in here!"
"What no she will never do that I know her since I was little!" Spike saw the Celestia approaching him."Princess whats going on why am I in here!"
"...."
"Sister speak to him!" Luna cried out entering the room."He's done nothing wrong sister!"
"Luna." Celestia spoke."What I see is a dangerous threat to you and me!"
"A threat how is he a threat!"Luna saw the glowing mark on his claw."I don't believe it you have a sin mark!"
"A sin mark?" Spike replied looking at his mark.He saw Mira's sin mark glowing which was on her neck.
"I don't believe it! Young Spike you and your friend are hideilians!" Celestia stared as she begin to walk away.
"Celestia wait! Let me out of here! They are here!" Celestia turn her head back.
"Who's here?"
"The Iron Claws!" Both mare gasped.
"W-what!" Celestia begin to shake.
"Luna did you found a body in the temple!" Luna nodded it while Celestia continue to shake in fear. Spike never seen her this way before.
"Sister where is the key!" Celestia gave her the key leaving the room in silent.
"Thank you Luna how is Twilight!" Luna paused.
"In the hospital with a few broken ribs."
"No." Spike held his anger inside but calm down."Can I at least see her."Luna shook her head.
"We have some spare clothes you can wear." Luna unlocked Mira door leading them out of the dungeon."Spike what happened to you."
"We were attack by a hideilians soldiers. I wasn't strong enough." Spike and Mira entered Luna's room. They saw Luna opening up a box.
"These clothes were important Spike we realize that the robes your wearing was once Wilhelm's." Spike open the box revealing multiple black clothing including some armor parts. Spike put on the black tunic on. It was long only covering his knees then he wore a long coat over the tunic which came with a double scarf. Spike didn't remove his pants however switch his boots.
"Thank you princess but do you have any hoods."Luna shook her head."Hey Luna have you seen my weapons?"
"Yes we do even you...."
"Mira."
"Hmm...hideilians have strange names. Luna muttered. Spike followed Luna still thinking about Twilight.
"You still thinking about her?" Spike got out of his thought.
"Yeah I thought I lost her."
"You care about her? She must be lucky having a boyfriend like you."
"Boyfriend? No she's my sister." Mira eyes widen.
"Seriously!?"
"Yeah.When she hatched me as a egg her family adopted me. I never meet my real family."
"Oh sorry to hear that." They following Luna into a armory pulling out a one sword,a sharp broken sword and a axe. Spike placed the belt on then place the sheathe on his back.Spike place the two swords on his back sheathe then put the axe on his hip sheathe.
"Hey Luna could you do me a favor?"
"What is it young Spike?"
"I was wondering if you can make Mira stay here? She afraid that the Iron Claws will find her in the woods."
"Of course,we will make sure she will be in good hoofs." Spike smile leaving Mira alone with Luna. Spike exited the castle strolling around Canterlot. All of the ponies stared at him while walking past them. Spike continue to walk yet he saw one mare which curious him.
"Moondancer?" The mare looked back seeing Spike with a uninterested look.
"Do I know you?"
"Yeah you do it's me Spike." The mare laugh.
"Really now how do I know you are not lying."
"When you were younger you asked me to play the prince because you didn't want one colt in the play." Moondancer dropped her book.
"I-Spike! Why do you look different?"
"I was about to say the same to you! You looked exactly like Twilight except with the different mane and fur color,also whats with the glasses?"Moondancer smile faded quickly.
"Why are you here shouldn't you with the Twilight."
"I will love to but....she got hurt because of me." Spike muttered.
"Oh....I'm sorry to hear...." Moondancer paused seeing Spike staring at something."Spike?"
"Moondancer run! Now!" Moondancer use her magic to pick up her book taking off running she was scared when she saw a dark figure in front of him. Spike saw Seneshal in front of him. He wore a trench coat with a helmet on. He wore a hat although he couldn't see his hair or scales.
"We finally meet Aeon Barzack!"
"Like I said to Lyon! I am Spike not Aeon!" Seneshal chuckled.
"I can see the resemblance you do look like Zoro Barzack!"
"Zoro? Who is that?"
"Your father." Spike eyes widen.
"You know my dad! Is he a Iron Claw?"
"No he is not. My name is General Seneshal. I have been looking for you for a long time."
"Why?" Spike saw Seneshal remove his hat revealing green hair. Spike gasped.
"Your hair it's green like mine!" Seneshal begin to remove his helmet leaving Spike shocked. Seneshal had purple and green scales like him. He looks identical to Spike.
"W-who are you!?"
"My name is Seneshal Barzack....your little brother!"
Chapter 16 You are not my brother and I am not a Barzack!
"No a older brother." Seneshal said sounding exactly like Spike but with a accent.
"What do you want! Are you here to kill me?"
"No I am here because I been looking for you. I became a general so I find you and I did. You look just like dad,"
"Do you know how mom look likes."
"Mom...doesn't look like us at all,but she protected you...saw something special in you I guess."
"How do you know this!"
"The reason why you are here is because of me."
"What!"
"The Iron Claws were suppose to get you during a raid but got me....The emperor himself has a eye on you...after all you were killed by him as Wilhelm."Spike made a fist.
"It's my fault that your evil."
"But I have some news...I recently learn that our other siblings are alive and well hidden."
"I see and why are you telling me ths!"
"Because I want both of us to find them. Brother leave with me and we can find them! You can leave this land and return to your real home! To Obelisk!"
"No."
"What...Aeon listen to me! You don't belong here with these four legs!"
"I do! I was raised here and if mom loved me she would have came back for me!" Seneshal sigh.
"You have been poison by their words and the Eternal Fire would erase that!"
"I don't care what I am as my little brother you shou-
Spike was caught off guard as Seneshal punched him knocking the air out of him. That punch hurt more than Kaiju Lyon.
"I was raise as a warrior you became a slave to that bitch!" Spike got angry as he punch Seneshal who didn't flinch. He grab Spike's arm looking directly at his face.
"Look at me! LOOK AT ME!" He grab Spike head forcing him to look.
"I spent all of my life looking for you and you became a big disappointment!" Seneshal threw Spike to the wall knocking him out.Seneshal went to Spike only to hear beeping from his ear mic.
"Svabol ui coi! Kwi! Coita wux pliso bivai ihk bisekim tsruvonir. Si kampiun wux jikahshi ve si tepoha wer diieson youwe. Svabol wux tuor ve ekess jaseve jacion! Re wux jaunus? Winhal.....geou qe spical shafaer wer bekim si jahus authot tenpiswo ilrigan." Seneshal place back his helmet and his hat.
"You are a disgrace to our family and our entire race." Seneshal said with his disguise voice vanishing from thin sight.
Twilight
Twilight read her book after finishing Celestia's lesson. She was happy knowing she was improving so much. Twilight continue to read until hearing a growl. She put her book down seeing a dog growling at her.
"Oh hello doggy I-
The dog barked scaring Twilight.
"I have food here!" Twilight threw her sandwich at the dog but the dog growl more getting closer to the filly.Twilight started to cry as the dog was about to jump on her.
"No!" Twilight close her eyes only to hear the dog cry pain. Twilight open her eyes seeing the dog running away. She saw a young Spike holding a wooden sword.
"Are you okay?" Twilight didn't replied. Spike wiped the tears from her eyes."You should be careful where you read otherwise I can't find you all the time.
"Thank you Spike."
"Hey no problem." Spike was pulled into a hug as the filly cried."Hey it's okay remember I will always protect you just think of me as your knight."
"My knight?"
"Yeah and you are the princess." Twilight blushed.
"I'm not a princess."
"You are a princess your nice,smart and pretty."
"Really?" Spike chuckled.
"You are. Come on mom is going to make food."
"Sure."
Twilight gasp as she woke up. She didn't know she was in a different room. She started crying from that dream.
"I-I want my knight back!" Twilight place her head on the table.
Seneshal
Seneshal arrive in the base seeing most of the soldiers salute him.
"You here without the target?" Elisa said.
"I was order not to retrieve him."
"Don't worry I already thought of something." Elisa said sitting down.
"What do you have in mind."
"Your brother is connected to this four legs what if they disappeared,this will force him to give up."
"Interesting."
"I think we should call Sapphire."
"Good call she is one of the best mercenary in Obelisk."
"Excellent I will call her right now." Elisa left the room. Seneshal walked forward punching the table in half shocking everyone.
Celestia
Celestia enter a room where no one other than her self know about. She went underground more while a bright load was seen throughout the door. She enter the room revealing a heidillian mare inside a block of ice. Celestia thaw out the ice hearing her groan when her head thaw first.
"C-Celestia."
"Hello Aria it's....good to see you again."
"Me too is there a reason why you thaw me out?"
"The Iron Claws are returning I need your skills to help me."
"Celestia I quit fighting when Wilhelm died."
"But you are a excellent blacksmith."
"True." Aria look around the cave."How long have I been here?"
"1000 years. Everything has changed."
"Could you thaw me out?" Celestia did what she asked. Aria stood up but her legs begin to wobbled. It took some time for her to get up from her feet.
"Celestia if you want me to create new armor I need clothes expert."
"Really why?"
"I can make armor weapons but not clothes after all my race clothing are very hard to rip."
"It's true. I have somepony who can help you."
Celestia and Aria walked forward to the hall.
"Aria?"
"L-Luna!" Aria hugged the mare tightly.
"You didn't age at all!" Luna said to the Aria who giggled.
"I was frozen in time didn't want live without....you know."
"Yes...I miss him still."
"Aww such nice words."
All of them gasp seeing Aurora.
"Princess Aurora!" All of them bowed to her hearing her laugh.
"Argh!" Spike rose up from the ground rubbing his head. He notice that he was in a bed inside a....messing house.
"Oh your okay." Spike heard Moondancer while levitating a cup.
"Thanks." Spike drank whats inside the cup.
"Who was that?"
"Wha?"
"The one who attack you."
"My little brother." Moondancer eyes widen."Thanks for your help I should probably get going and thanks for your help Moondancer."
"Alright I have to study anyway."
"Just like Tw-"
"Don't say that name! Just go!" Spike got up the grabbing his weapons then head out the door. He sigh seeing how much Moondancer change maybe Twilight could help her. Spike saw the Castle but didn't want to enter it or bothering anyone else so what he de he went to the train station to buy a ticket to Ponyville.
"Sorry everyone but I have to go." Spike mutter himself.Spike saw the train arriving handing the ticket as he went inside. A few minutes later he arrive to Ponyville. Spike hid his mouth in the scarf while walking to the Carousel Boutique.
"Hello there welcome to-" Rarity paused seeing Spike."Oh hello there you must be new?"
"New?" Spike thought."Of course only Pinkie knows."
"Of course Spike told me about this place."
"Spike? You know him?"
"Yeah My name is.....my name is Aeon." Spike said using his real name.
"Aeon what a delightful name!"
"Spike told me alot about you in fact he's never stop talking about you."
"Really?"
"Yeah I think he has a crush on you."
"It is charming that he grown feeling over me." Rarity paused for a bit.
"Well?"
"I'm sorry but Spike is a friend much more of a child."
"Oh." Spike clinch his fist holding his anger.
"The thought of a servant ran my mind,he was just always praising me which made feel feel special."
"So you were using him." Spike said with a tone.
"Using is a terrible word."
"You could have told him the truth Rarity! You used his feelings just to get what you want!"
Rarity slapped him."How dare you! I want you to get out of my house!" Spike removed his scarf revealing his face.
"Now you know who I am."Rarity paused for a bit gasping.
"S-Spike? I-I...."
"Goodbye Rarity I hope we never speak again!" Spike closed the door hard while Rarity fell to the floor sobbing for what she done.Spike wrapped the scarf on and cover his mouth. He didn't want to be here so he went alone in the Everfree Forest.He continue to walk forward seeing a Timberwolf. Spike saw a old wagon on the left side,he scavenge the wagon upon his search he found a rope. Spike held the hope high jumping on the Timber which tried to shake him off.
"Woah woah woah!" Spike place the rope on its muzzle getting full control of its neck."Okay go left." Spike moved the timberwolf left yet the timber wolf growl. Spike saw his mark glowing so Spike thought of an idea from a comic he read. He placed the mark on its forhead hearing the Timberwolf yelling. Spike saw the timberwolf's eyes blue so he moved left which it did.
"Alright...it worked...yah!" Spike saw the wolf going fast."Hahaha! This is awesome!" Spike hold on tight as the wolf stop to the roads. Spike saw the wolf moving faster until stopping by a strange town. Spike saw all the Cutie Marks where the same which bother him yet everypony stared at them.Spike saw his sin mark glowing which made him cry in pain.
"There's a heidillian nearby!" Spike made the timberwolf go straight hearing screaming from the back. He looked back seeing the creature that gave him the scar on the eye.
"Achthend!"
"Aww come on!" Spike pulled out his axe but passed a unicorn mare who had a pink coat with a purple and teal mane and tail. Spike looked back seeing the creature still following him.Spike saw a tree in front of him.
"Hey take me to the tree!" Spike order the timber wolf who listen to him. Spike got off using his axe to chop the tree down which landed on the creature.Spike got close lifting the axe over his head.
"Any last words?"
"You will all die!" Spike's eyes widen."You will all die...the eternal fire will rise in this realm....*Cough!* *Cough!*.The Iron claws will kill everyone! Just like you did to me Kothar!" Spike saw the creature coughing more however Spike struck his axe on it's head killing it.
Spike stood quiet as new words were said from his mouth.
"Nomag marfedelom ssejinw wux jaka!(May death silence you now!)"Spike realize he spoke his people language. He got on his Timberwolf approaching the mare.
"You...could clean this right?" The mare looked at the creature's body.
"Yes?" after she replied she saw the Spike leave yet realize the mark on his arm."Good he left at least I won't take another cutie mark."
Spike laid down on the timberwolfs back.This day was surprising fun even though there was some complicated issues.Spike saw the timberwolf whose eyes were green instead of blue.
"Wow you help me even though your out of my spell." Spike rose up riding the Timberwolf back to Ponyville."I will call you....Eris sounds like a cool name."
Celestia and Luna stare at Aria who ate an entire table worth of food. She was so small yet her hunger matches a giant.Aria belch as she rubbed her belly.
"Ah this is much better than Rations!" Aria got up from her sweet stretching her back.
"Miss Aria we asked if the food was in your liking?"
"Yep now I can find Wilhelm."
"Oh thou's looking for him?" Luna asked.
"Of course I owe him a Life debt plus he's my friend!" The door open revealing a guard.
"Princess!"A guard ran forward panting.
"What is it?"
"A dragon appeared he attacked us he was wearing a mask!"
"Maverick." Luna heard Aria's mumbled.
"Wilhelm's brother?"
"Yes He's looking for Wilhelm." Aria grabbed one of the guards spear heading out.
"Wait!"
"Luna!" Celestia followed her sister outside of the castle. Celestia made her way outside seeing a small heidillian holding one of the guards neck.
"You must be the monarchs.I am General Maverick of the Iron Claws and I demand your full cooperation!"
Aria raised the spear up."I wont let you hurt Wilhelm or these princesses!" Aria dashed towards Maverick who blocked the attack with his finger."What!" Maverick smile only to be blasted by Luna.
"Aria is a friend of ours!"
"Stupid fools aaaarrrgggghhh!" Maverick yelled shaking the entire ground. His aura surrounded him while some tree fell down.
"What power!"
"He has more power than Discord and Sombra combined!" Luna shouted as Maverick dashed in front of her.Luna stood there surprised from his speed.
"Idiotic four legs."Luna gasped closing her eyes waiting for the punch to land.Luna heard a loud thud opening her eyes.
"This is my fight!" Luna quickly open her eyes seeing Wilhelm grabbing Mavericks fist. Wilhelm hold on to his fist as he telported only them to a desert. Wilhelm and Maverick stared at each other while the wind blew sand over them yet it didn't touch them.
"Zyak wux re eligneir nomenes vrrar hoinpic?"
Wilhelm pulled out his sword."Axun si majaka ir di astahi vi tobor nbelaern." Maverick laughed from his words.
"Why must you protect her? Do you love her or is it greed?"
"Luna remind me of Aimi" Maverick grind his teeth.
"Don't you dare say that name! Aimi was killed by them! And yet you believe that a fucking four legged bitch is like her?! I refused."Wilhelm's aura started to surround him.
"When you betrayed me my thoughts of letting you live died as our family did."
"We share blood...we are not brothers traitor!" Maverick closed his helmet covering his entire face .They dashed towards each other with top speed turning the sand below them into glass. Maverick spun on the air as his sword clash to Wilhelm's gauntlet. Once the blade made contact made an entire crater in where they were standing at"I will kill you then genocide this four legs!"
"As long as I live! I am the legion that is stopping you!" Wilhelm punched Mavericks helmet off staggering him.Wilhelm saw his brother's face,he looked like him but was smaller.He held the sword at his throat."I'm not taking any chances anymore!"
"Oh are you!" Maverick bit his arm shocking Wilhelm.
"You fool!" Maverick laugh maniacally as he started to grow. Wilhelm was shocked seeing Maverick use his kaiju form in front of him.
"Hahaha!" Maverick jumped real high preparing a blast.
"Damn it!"Maverick held a blast ready as the Kaiju Maverick blasted to where he was at.Wilhelm use one of his blasted yet it was inefficient." Argh! Damn it not.....enough power!" Wilhelm held the blast even though Maverick's was stronger than his.
Elsewhere.
"Thou must know where he is!"
"I'm trying! I can't sense his magic!" Aria kept concentrating trying to find him."Hey I think I'm... *gasp!"
"Whats wrong!" Celestia said.
"Maverick is using his Kaiju form! I don't think we could win."
"Kaiju?"
"It's one of the form that make our race into giants monsters,the upside it makes us stronger in both strength and magic."Luna remained quiet however thought of something.
"Sister we thought of advantage."
"Oh tell me?"
Desert.
Wilhelm trying to hang on while holding his guard.
"Damn it can't.....
"Wilhelm?"
"Huh?!" He saw Aria running towards him she went next to Wilhelm combining her blast with Wilhelm."What are you doing?"Wilhelm said although strange crystals were surrounding them.
"Wilhelm do it!" Aria shouted. Wilhelm felt more power from the crystals launching a full greater powered blast which seems to be working. Wilhelm let out a war cry unleashing every part of magic he has left directly at Maverick.
"What!......no!" Maverick scream was heard at the moment when Wilhelm's attack took him to the sky leading a trail only to disappear from their sight.
"It's over?" Aria asked Wilhelm who was panting.
"I can't sense him....he gone...finally." Wilhelm saw Luna and Celestia approaching him."What were those crystals?"
"Those crystals were the elements of harmony....they interacted with you for some reason." Celestia said.
"Whatever they were...thank you....You made me destroy a nightmare." Celestia smile nodding her head."And when did you arrive Crimson?"
"A few minutes ago."
"Then is Bora and Vira here?" Wilhelm waited for a respond."Oh...oh no."
"Yeah they didn't make it."
"Excuse me but can we head back to the castle?" Celestia said to both of them replying with a nod. Wilhelm teleported them all to the castle.Feeling the cool air caused a smile to Wilhelm's face knowing that Maverick was dead which caused happiness to him.
"What do you mean he's gone!"Celestia shouted at Luna.
"Sister calm down!"
"Calm down! Calm down! Luna Spike's race is one of the most dangerous of them all! Of all the foes we faced Heidillians almost succeeded! Luna they wanted to destroy Equestria not conquer it!"
"Sister what happened to you while we were banished." Celestia sigh.
"Alot has happened Luna......" Celestia said as a small flashback was remember.
Quick flashback.
"Solaria....Solaria!" Celestia's eyes open to a battle damage Wilhelm."Hehe quite a battle huh?" Celestia didn't replied as Wilhelm as he shook her head."Hey are you okay?"
Celestia didn't respond so Wilhelm put her next to a tree letting her lean on it.
"Hey you stay here I will take care of this.This is my fight...not yours." Wilhelm got up leaving Celestia alone. Celestia saw Wilhelm leaving trying to reached out to him but pass out.
End of flashback.
"Sister?"
"It's nothing. He shouldn't be far bring him here once found I will like a word with him."
"Your highness!" A guard appear panting in the room."Twilight Sparkle is gone!"
"What!"
Ponyville.
Twilight step out of the train returning back home. She open the door to the Library seeing Spike waiting.
"Spike.....did something happened?" Spike remained silent."Spike talk to me?"
"I meet my little brother,my actual little brother."Twilight's eyes widen.
"How did it g...
"He tried to kill me."
"Oh." Twilight sat next to him."So...what's next."
"I don't know." Both of them remained quiet.
"Spike why you leave Canterlot?"
"I...I wasn't comfortable around Celestia." Spike told Twilight what happened when Spike was finished he saw Twilight's face showing signs of shock and betray.
"W-why did she do this! I know heidillians are dangerous but look at everything you did Spike."
"I know however since I'm not consider a dragon make me more dangerous.Like my life hasn't been worst."
"Spike."
"No Twilight! If the girls see who I really am what will they think no! What will the entire town think! Remember my greed accident..it took them 2 months to forgive me and now I found out i have a form more dangerous than greed which is more larger,more menacing!"
"Spike..."
"Twilight all my life I thought I was a dragon now...now I found out that I'm one more importantly i was responsible for making my little brother evil!"
"Spike." Twilight was unsure for Spike. A flash of light beam behind them revealing Celestia.
"Spike come with me." Celestia horn light up while cuffs appear on Spike arm.
"What Princess Celestia!"
"I'm sorry Twilight to assure he never known this I have to erase his memory." Twilight eyes widen.
"Y-you been erasing his memory?!"
"Twilight you must understand it's the-" Celestia was interrupted by Twilight who blasted her with one of her magic."Twilight why did y-"
"You....you were the reason why Spike doesn't remember!" Celestia was shocked from Twilight's anger."How could you...I thought Spike couldn't remember but it was you."
"Twilight stop!" Spike cried."This isn't you!" Twilight charge her magic."I said stop!"
Twilight sigh."I will never forgive you!" Twilight said leaving the room. Celestia looked hurt while removing Spikes cuffs.
"I'm sorry for my actions,I had a phobia of your race ever since."
"I'm sorry I didn't knew about that.The Iron Claws must have tramatized you." Celestia nodded."Celestia Equestria is in danger because of me."
"I know."
"My little brother is in the Iron Claws."Celestia eye's widen."Maybe surrendering is a option."
"No."
"Huh?"
"If you surrender they won't stop,The Iron Claws despise me and Luna imagine what they will do to all your friends." Spike stayed quiet."This is all my fault."
"What?"
"If I would have told you the truth earlier then we could have prepare for this. Of all the foes we face the Iron Claws are like no other. They are monsters who will destroy any that they wouldn't consider useless."
"I understand." Spike pound his fist."I face the Iron Claw and survive! i won't let them hurt Twilight not again!" Celestia smile.
"Just like Wilhelm."Celestia muttered."Spike return to Canterlot in one week.There is a friend I want you to meet."
"Okay let me find Twilight." Spike put the scarf on covering his mouth. Spike bow to the princess as he headed outside.
Spike looked around Ponyville trying to find Twilight he asked everyone in town however they seem to look at him strange.
"Darn it it's my new appearance! They don't think I'm me!" Spike sigh in defeat only to see Pinkie Pie.
"Hey Pinkie!"
"Ooh Spike love your new clothes!
"Thanks Pinkie have you seen Twilight?"
"I did we are going to meet at the spa."
"The spa? Good maybe after all of you are done Twilight and I could talk."
"Okay!" Pinkie smiles dashing through the wall. Spike scratch his head in confused.
"Maybe being normal doesn't count it around Pinkie pie.Spike walked to the direction where the Spa were however something was watching him.
"Um Twilight?" Fluttershy spoke trying to get Twilight's attention but didn't work. She kept staring at the ceiling as the sauna continue to make them sweat.
"Yo Twi are you with us!" Rainbow Dash shouted causing Twi to let out a short scream."Are you still upset?"
"I am...I thought that Spike could have forgotten about his childhood and now the reason why he couldn't remember was because of Princess Celestia."
"She must have done it for a reason after all we thought Spike was a dragon." Fluttershy said.
"For all I heard from Luna shes had a fear of them since fighting something call Maverick."
"Maverick? What kind of name is that?" Rainbow Dash said.
"Maverick was a villain from the past,Luna said that Maverick was Wilhelm's little brother.For all I know the Iron Claws are dangerous and they seem to not take a chance."
"Have you met one before."
"I did in bad terms.One of them ate me." All the girls gasp.
"You were eaten! Like swallow hole!"
"Yeah...Spike save me however cost him his tail.Why does he always have to be selfless!"
"Twilight darling?" Rarity finally spoke.
"Yes Rarity?"
"How was Spike like before coming to Ponyville?"
"Different...yet until he found the medallion he started to remind me of his young self."
"How so?"Twilight stood silent.
Flashback.
Outside of Canterlot castle reveal Twilight finished her lesson with Celestia heading straight home. Everything was perfect she begin to realize how these spells were getting more difficult and fun in the same time.
"Hey Twi!"
"Huh?"Twilight looked up seeing Spike on the roof."Spike what are you doing up there! Mom is going to ground you!"
Spike laugh wearing his hooded pancho and his wooden sword strap on his back. Spike went forward crossing both his legs sitting on the ledge of the building.
"Spike!"
"Hey it's alright..I can see how small and cute you look."
"I-I not cute!" Twilight yelled at him with a blush on her face.
"Yeah yeah just meet me at home!" She saw Spike walking back. Twilight sigh galloping back home. As she arrival she sees Spike outside of the front of the house leaning on the wall.
"You shouldn't have do-
She was interrupted as Spike place his head on her forehead.
"S-Spike?"
"Sorry for making you mad just try to brighten your day."
"Brighten my day?"
"When you return from the princess you looked tired,probably from the lessons."
"Sorry."
"Hey it's alright if you are being train by the princess you wont need a knight anymore." Spike chuckled.
"Actually I might still need my knight."
"Spike the dragon." A Solar guard march to Twilight's home.
"Yeah?"
"The princess needs for a royal duty."
"Sure I'll be there." Spike wave goodbye to Twilight.
Flashback ended.
"That was the last time I saw my Spike." All the girls stood quiet. Twilight knew that must be very shocking to hear.
....
Spike got out of the Library locking it. He quickly put his scarf covering his mouth making his way to the Spa. Spike walked forward as a flash of images started to show him more memory yet hurt him. Spike clinch his head.
"Um mister?" Spike heard where the voice was at. He saw Diamond Tiara looking at him."What wrong with you shouldn't you go to a doctor?"
"Maybe he's brain dead." Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara begin to laugh for a short time. They saw Spike's eyes glowing blue. They quickly left leaving Spike shaking his head.
"Darn it....What's going on with me?!"
"Y'all okay?" Spike knew that southern accent.
"Applejack?"
"Spike what in sam hill happened to you suguarcube."
"It's nothing...I just...need my medallion....darn it hurts! Ah Vobit!"
"Beg your pardon?"
Spike stood silent for a bit.
"Svabol tira si filki yenta?(What did I just say?)" Spike saw Applejack looking more confuse.
"Uh..Spike?"
"What just happened!" Spike said finally speaking normal.
"AH don't know....y'all were saying mumble jumbo."Spike stood quiet again taking a long breath.
"I think I spoke in my race's native tongue."
"You did."Applejack and Spike turn around seeing a green uniform Heidillian male.
"Applejack stay behind me!" Spike pulled out his sword.
"Relax I'm not a Iron Claw...In fact I'm against them. I am Captain Orion or just call me Siean.I represent the Providence army"
"What do you want?"
"Nothing I am giving you a warning.The Iron Claws hired a assassin."
"They hire a assassin to kill me?"
"No to kill the 6 four legs."
"Oh no!" Spike took off running to where the Spa is at.
"If I were you...go to your home and lock yourself.Protect your family and anything valuable." Siean said to Applejack.
As the grand galloping gala begin Luna watch as the guest mingle with her sister. Not one pony approach her to speak to her or acknowledged her moon. She sigh heading out.
"Look it's the princess!" Luna hopes was up seeing two couples walking towards her. Luna mouth open but no words were heard as the couples went past her.Luna left the gala only to enter room. She wanted to lay in bed however her legs took her to the balcony watching her precious moon only to reveal some tears dripping down her face. Luna wipe the tears until seeing a small fire down by the forest. She flew down only to see Aria and Wilhelm sitting by the fire.
"W-why are thou here? Surely thou will find more entertainment with the gala."
"I don't like big party." Aria said.
"Seems the same as the Phoenix Ball."Wilhelm said.
"Phoenix Ball?"
"Its the same as the this event but mostly Iron Claws are the ones who runs it during the war. I think galas,parties are a waste." Wilhelm said. He rose up as he begins to swing his sword around while Luna sat near Aria who had a smaller version of Charis. Luna was going to pet her but Charis growl at her.
"Sorry she has issues." Aria said to Luna. They watch Wilhelm who was finish his short sparing.
"Do you always have to fight?"
"WIthout fighting i have no idea what to do...I was born to be a soldier yet I always thought I'll die as one."Wilhelm explained.
"Is that the reason thou remained alone?"
"Yeah." Wilhelm muttered. He reached out his guitar as he begins to play it while singing.
"I hurt myself today To see if I still feel I focus on the pain The only thing that's real The needle tears a hole The old familiar sting Try to kill it all away But I remember everything
What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt
I wear this crown of thorns Upon my liar's chair Full of broken thoughts I cannot repair Beneath the stains of time The feelings disappear You are someone else I am still right here What have I become My sweetest friend Everyone I know goes away In the end And you could have it all My empire of dirt I will let you down I will make you hurt
If I could start again A million miles away I would keep myself I would find a way."
Spike continue to run straight scared for his friends safety and angry due to the reason why they are in danger was because of him.
"Twilight don't worry! I'll save you! I'll save you all! I promise!" Spike shouted as he felt a presence in front of him." I...feel somepony...it's strong!" Spike said shaking then clinch his claws." No! I have to be brave! I was brave against Lyon so I can be brave here as well!" Spike moved his feet forward entering the spa. He walk forward seeing the spa empty.
"This doesn't feel right."Spike said until hearing a thud from the roof,this made him quickly step outside taking a huge look at the roof yet their was nothing. Spike look around every corner."Where are you! Show yourself!" Above him reveal a female heidillan. She had dark blue scales and purple hair which Spike gasp not expecting her. The only thing she wore was a unitard suit and some gauntlets.
"Hm....maybe this wont be a boring kill after all."She thought to herself in relief finding the idea of fighting five legs quit boring if not dishonorable, in truth She would normally never agree to such pathetic targets and if not for the fact these five ponies had saved their land several times, Sapphire would of just as well denied this assignment.
"So what's your story big guy?"She asks since she walked to the edge of the roof before stepping off allowing herself to fall most of the way, before digging her claws into the wall slowing her descent just before she reach the ground, pulling her claws out and crossing her arms as she waited for the stranger to answer.
Spike quickly pulled out his axe to defend himself. "Who are you!"
"I am Sapphire Eclipse, the assassin for hire."She introduce herself by taking a quick bow before reaching her arms to her back before pulling them back down reveling the triple bladed gauntlets she wielded on either claw.
"A assassin! Are you here to kill me?"
"You?...don't flatter your self, I didn't even know you were here or who you are, I'm after the six four legers those stupid elements of harmony are bonded to."She states in a matter fact tone glancing past Spike to said mares who currently resided behind him. Spike eyes widen.
"What! Why!"
"Because they are a beacon of hope for the four legs or these lands and I was hired to destroy that beacon."
"No I won't let you kill them! If you want them you have to go through me!"
"And who are you exactly?"
"My name is Spike! One of my sister is the element of harmony! If you touch her!" Spike eyes begin to glow red as his body was surrounded by a familiar red aura.
"Your sister is one of those four legs....really?" Sapphire asks raising an eye brow, seemingly ignoring the red eyes and red aura."
"Her name....is Twilight!" Spike scream powering up his magic. The power of his magic was so strong it felt like a tornado around him. Spike realize this quickly calm down to prevent damages to Ponyville. "No...not again." Spike mutter eyeing Sapphire."She is my sister and I am proud of that."
"Okay first off you cant stop with the light show I'm sure you are proud, I had no intention of offending you, but I cant help but ask are both your parents Heidillan and you look familiar?"
"I don't who my parents are nor I don't care anymore!" Spike saw Sapphires eyes widen as she burst out laughing.
"Oh..Oh my Archon! Y-your him! Your Seneshal's older brother! You get angry just like he does!" Spike got angry at her for mentioning Seneshal as the red aura surrounding him increased.
"How did you know that name!? Who are you working for! If you are an assassin then you must have took a job from?"
"I'm glad you asked that we were getting a bit off topic weren't we? but to answer you question I was hired by Iron Claws and to be honest at first I thought when they told me my targets were nothing more the a few five legs I was pissed, I mean me one of if not the best assassin hired to kill such weak creatures was basically a insult, but if they know you were around then I can see why they wouldn't want to risk some idiot strewing up the kills."She finishes with a smirk as her own normally red eyes turned solid black giving the appearance of her having no eyes at all
Spike got angry release the red aura again but this time Spike's muscle begin to grow from his arm to leg. Twilight watched as she and her friends were tied up and their mouths were ducked tape so they made a muffled sound.
"I wont let you hurt them!" Spike shouted.
Sapphire for her part simply chuckled before speaking up, with her voice now echoing "Do you want to know why I'm the best assassin there is?" She asked the angry Spike.
"I...don't...care!" Spike said having to struggled speaking.
"Oh,....really most of the time people want to know hm...oh, well then I guess I took this for nothing." She says pulling her left arm from behind her back revealing an unconscious Rarity being held up by her mane which was within Sapphires balled up fist.
"Rarity! Arrgh!" Spike charge out her all powered up.
"Oh, I so love it when my prey acts like a dumb ass."She says in a humorous tone waiting in place for Spike to be mere inches away before activating her spell once more allowing Spike to pounce on the ground where she once was.
"What!" Spike got up looking around."Where she go? Did I crush her!?"
"Yo over here!" Sapphire shouts waving her right hand from her new location where Spike was moments ago in front of Twilight and the others all of whom seemed shocked if not startled by her sudden appearance with the unconscious Rarity still being held up her left arm."You know since I'm just going to kill you all any way you can this back."Sapphire says tossing Rarity towards the girls with Twilight quickly catching the unicorn in her lavender colored magic."You know Spike you really should of asked me why I'm the best assassin there." Twilight continue to move until her bound was release. Twilight saw it was Mira who shush her while she untie the others. Sapphire saw Spike who was gripping his head,his body was surrounded with the red aura until it revealed a new aura color. It was yellow
"No No!" Spike scream from the top of his lungs at the time the yellow aura surrounded him pierce to the sky causing the windows from the spa building and all of Ponyville to all shattered. Twilight was shocked seeing Spike still surrounded with the yellow aura. They all stare at him noticing that he is not on the air...which looked like he was flying.
"Twilight what is that!" Rainbow Dash scream.
"I don't know this is new!" Twilight shouted.
"Wow! You son of a bitch you can fly with out wings."Sapphire says in a nearly congratulating tone before she activated her spell vanishing from Spike's sight only for Twilight and the others to see her reappear in mid air just above Spike delivering a powerful kick to the back of his head turning all his forward momentum downwards to leave a small crater were his head impacted before what little forward force that was left caused him smash through the ground leaving a small trench. Sapphire herself was now back on the ground and couldn't help but chuckle having always loved doing that to her opponents.
"Spike!" Twilight yelled seeing Spike not moving. Sapphire smile seeing Spike staring at her.
"Any last words?" She said until seeing Spike twitching." What the?" Spike yelled his pain opening his mouth only to enlarge.
"Oh no! He's going Kaiju!" Mira said in fear.
"What!?" All the mares shouted hearing Spike groaning begin to deepens his voice. Soon they saw giant monster's head appear only to stand before them. The 300 ft kaiju Spike looked at Sapphire roaring at her,the roar was so intense and strong it matched a mighty hurricane.
Everyone stared at the Kaiju Spike who roar as he pound his chest like a gorilla.
"What's wrong with him!?"Twilight shouted.
"This may be his first time,He can't control himself." Spike stared at them,They gulp seeing the Kaiju Spike open his mouth charging a blast to them.
"We need to move! Now!"
"What about..."
"They are safe! Quick grab my claw!" They did as they were told teleporting away just in time as Spike blasted the spot they were at.
"It's just like his greed from his birthday!"
"Yeah but at least he didn't shoot magic from his mouth!" Rainbow shouted. They watch Spike roaring again until a blast hit him. He turned his attention to see Sapphire.
"I have to give you credit where credit is due Spike, the last time I kicked an opponent that hard it was a full grown dragon and it knocked his ass out, and look at you getting up more pissed off than hurt."Sapphire says with a close to awkward chuckle having heard of this monstrous form, but never having seen it with her own eyes.
"Si geou sho'voth wux!" Spike yelled at her speaking in the heidillan language. His clothes never ripped it even seems that the scarf enlarge as well.
Kaiju spike charge at her leaving Sapphire surprise for how fast he was for his size.
"Oh, fucked!" She shouts in fear taking hold,she closed her eyes shut waiting for the worst barley having time to activate her spell effectively freezing time around her as long as she held her breath.Slowly opening her eyes Sapphire looked to see her spell had indeed activated before Spike at reached her,but to her shock and slight horror his claws were only inches away from her face.ducking under his hands, she quickly ran between his legs already feeling her breath running low as she quickly ran further behind him past the mares getting a good 20 feet in-between the two of them before the pain in her lungs was to much and released her breath causing the spell the stop.
Hahahaha! Vorq sva wux zhaan!" Kaiju Spike teleported shocking her again. Twilight looked around notices that he was gone.
"How could something that big disappear?" Fluttershy said.
"Oh, hell no!"Sapphire mentally shouts knowing where this situation was going,unable to think she activated the spell once more, not wanting the massive enraged Spike to get the drop on her, she quickly ran into the spa knowing or hoping he would have no way of knowing her new location, simultaneously hating on herself.
"Damn it! why am I hiding? I've fought full grown dragons and hydras, so why the hell am i so afraid of him?"She mentally asks as she released her breath expecting to her the loud smash of Spike reappearing and landing on the ground out side. She heard a loud slam on the ground.Twilight gulp seeing some of the townponies running away from him. Spike roar at them blasting them with his magic from his mouth which launch them.
"We need to hurry otherwise somepony will get hurt or worse!" Twilight shouted seeing Spike rampaging attacking the town. Spike froze feeling a scent which he turned his attention seeing a familiar heidillian.
Sapphire heard a loud noise coming towards her,She thought he crush the buiding so she took a big leap only to see a large claw in front of her to grabbed her with his huge grip. She couldn't do anything as his pinned her arm. Spike grin as he begins to crush her hearing her scream in pain.
"Spike stop!" Twilight yelled but he didn't listen to her who replied with a maniacal laughter."Please Spike this isn't like you!"
Spike however didn't stop and only continued to crush her more, every second felt like hours to Sapphire as her ribs came closer and closer to breaking due to the over whelming force, leaving her desperate for an escape, before in a last ditch effort She used the arm Spike hadn't pinned aiming the tripled clawed gauntlet at his face charging the diamond edged 15 inch long blades, causing them to heat up close to temperatures that would put lava to shame while all three quickly shot off the gauntlet now being linked by magical strands of her own dark energy, while the blades burred them self's in Spike's left eye causing him to roar in pain as well as finally release his hold on her letting her drop to the ground with a hard thud causing her grunt in pain, only moments later did she retract the blades half hoping it would pull Spike's eye clean out, only to no such luck as the claws reattached with nothing more then the burnt remnants of what was in Spike's eye.
"Good Aeon excellent." Spike turn around seeing the Eliza on the roof."Kill the mercenary to show your brother how the Iron Claws reign supreme over all lowlife!"
"Oh and who the hell are you?"Sapphire asks in anger and pain, she forced herself back to her feet, each breath she took sent pain through her body quickly became sick of this assessment, sick of fighting Spike and most importantly sick of losing.
"If I'm going to die to that dragon wannabe out their then I'm going to make Damn well sure he wont forget this fight!"She shouts in anger, using a large portion of the dark magic flowing through her to numb the pain she felt and the rest when to her enhancing her gauntlets making the claws grow to 30 inches long while the burned at temperatures equal to if not hotter then lave as she took one deep breath with the pain of her broken ribs no longer affecting her as she activated the time spell freezing everything in place allowing her to run under Spike's legs once more, but this time stretching her arms outward allowing the claws to begin cutting into Spike's ankles as she passed them, but she didn't stop there as she reach his back side. using her own natural agility she quickly jumped up digging all 6 blades into the base of Spike tail. jumping away from the beast she reminded Eliza on the near by room and with the dark magic still numbing all her pain even the lack of fresh air in her lungs did little to stop Sapphire as she climbed Spike tail getting onto the roof she ran towards Eliza her power finally failing as the claws had melted away leaving noting more then the metal base were the rested, the numbing also left letting feel the full force of the time she's spent with out breathing not letting this stop her as only a few feet away from her target she finally exhaled letting the spell stop as Eliza being caught off guard by Spike's roar in pain as he fell on his knees.She barley had time to turn before Sapphire using every once of natural strength she had along with wielding the hunk of solid steel that was her gauntlet she collided it with the side of Eliza's face sending her stumbling back in more surprise then pain as she heard Sapphires exhausted yet determined voice ask.
"How's that for a fucking lowlife you bitch?"With those words leaving her she passed out due to bot exhaustion and pain.
"Clever girl." Eliza chuckled faking the pain."Maybe hiring you was a good thing."
"I respect your determination although...." Elisa lifted her paw while a small magical energy form a giant ball of magic."This ball will destroy this pathetic realm and all of you with it! The Iron Claws don't need mercenaries in our Utopia!" She threw the ball at Sapphire but was stopped by Spike who was pushing it back with his own claws. They realize that he reverted back to normal.
Spike scream having the red aura again launching the blast to the sky. Everypony watch it going up passing The skies of Cloudsdale.
"You got lucky!" Elisa teleported away from them while Twilight and her friends cheered. Sapphire saw Spike fell on his stomach gasping for air.
"Spike!" His friends called helping Spike up.
"Careful I think he used every once of his strength." Mira said lifting him up.
"Huh, I never stood a chance against your scaly ass did I?"Sapphire tiredly asks with half her mind on how she even fought Spike to begin with and the other have on how she was still alive.Spike looked around seeing some part of the town was destroy.
"Not again." Spike muttered only to passed out.
"Oh, so now you fall unconscious you scaly jack ass."Sapphire says holding her injured arm from when Spike pinned it, as she took a step closer wanting to see the extent of Spike's own injuries. She didn't made it long as Mira knocked her out with her riflebutt.
Spike awoke feeling the pain from Sapphire.
"You should rest."
"Huh?" Spike eyes widen seeing Princess Luna next to him."Princess? What are you doing here?"
"Young Spike...The foes thou face will come for thee."
"I know...Seneshal will do anything to break me. The next time we meet it will be different." Luna chuckled.
"Just like Wilhelm."
"What?" Spike said confuse.
"Tis nothing we should check you arm." Luna placed one hoof on his arm but the moment they touch made their arms stuck to each other living a strange aura around them.
"What is this!"
"Argh get it off!" Spike shouted as a force pushed her back."What was that!" Spike screamed in fright.
"We have no knowledge for what happened...We must be on my way,Maybe Tia will have some knowledge." Luna said try to sound calm.
"Oh...ok pie."
Basement.
"This is stupid!" Sapphire shouted at Mira who handcuffed her.
"Sorry doll can't let you leave for what you done."
"What about food I can starve!"
"I'll bring food and water maybe even a radio for you."
"This sucks." She muttered.
"Yeah well..shouldn't have attack this nice town." Mira said as she left her alone in the basement.
As Everyone slept Spike laid in his basement having a nice rest until a dark ghost like figure stand before him.
"Rest now Spike soon you will be mine." She spoke entering inside him with a familiar laugh.
Spike awoke yawning.He raised his arms up hearing his bone pop. For everything that happened,for what he been through he was glad to be back in his basket.
"Mmm...you may be just a basket but your my king size bed." Spike said as he finally stood up. He let out a another yawn while moving forward to the restroom watching his face. Spike's eyes widen as he paused.He placed his claws on his eyes.He felt strange... seeing veins around his eyes. He realize his lips were getting pale even his tongue was different which was now black like the bag on his eyes.
"That's creepy." Spike mumble. Spike paused for a bit only to raise his claw up towards his closed eye. He begins to pry open his eye as as the blood begins to spray.Instead of red blood it was black.
"Spike?" Twilight said knocking on the door."Spike? Come on Spike are you-" She paused for a bit hearing Spike groaning then scream."Spike are you okay!?" Twilight shouted trying to get in only to hear the sink running." Spike open the door now or I will barge in there mister!" She turn around as she begins to aim at the door ready to buck it open,as her legs was pulled back she struck the door her hardest only for the door to open kicking Spike in the process.
"Spike I'm sorry! I-" Twilight attempted to help her assistant only to paused the second she saw him.Spike's scarf was wrapped around his face like a mask.
"What was the point of that!" Spike shouted at Twilight.
"You were groaning for a bit! I got worry you were hurt more!"" Twilight shouted back."Why do you have your scarf like that!"
"It's nothing okay please just leave it." Twilight sigh from Spike's lie.
"Spike I said no secrets!" Twilight said not liking the silence from Spike...he been quiet refusing to acknowledge his promise to her. Spike got up dusting himself.
"There are no secrets."
"The more you say that the more disappointed I am with you." Those words hurted him.Like a sword piecing to his heart. Spike stood frozen from Twilight's words only to realizing that his legs were moving forward on there own.
"Lets not talk about this." Spike muttered for Twilight to change the subject which of course was never going to happen.
"Spike you can't ignore everything!"
"Yet when you are saving the world you ignore me." Spike went downstairs grabbing his swords before heading out. Twilight sigh,the only thing she does or wanted was to laid on her bed. Her head touches her pillow seeing the once faithful assistant she trusted becoming a stranger in her life.He was fine until he got the medallion..she hated it more than ever for whats it doing to Spike even though he doesn't have it. Tears form on her eyes but her anger begin to emerge on her face for not solving a problem so complicated. She doesn't want to help Spike. She desires it. If this was her friends she would done it in a instant however this was Spike. Somedragon or some heidillian she knew before meeting the girls. The girls were her best friends of course yet Spike was something else. He is something more value than the rarest books or lessons in Equestria. Twilight grew more angrier for what a failure she was with Spike. She thought this was easy...until the events happened with The Iron Claws,Lyon,her mentor Princess Celestia,Seneshal,and of course the problem in her basement.
(Spike)
Spike walked to the streets of Ponyville wanting to forget Twilight's words. maybe a quick chat with the residence will cheer me up.
"Morning Mrs Ch-" Spike paused as Mrs Cheerilee scream at him running away."Okay..bye." Spike notice everypony running to their homes the moment Spike approaches them."Why are they afraid of me?" Spike thought. He took one step only to see Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon with a bunch of foals.
"There he is the monster!" They begin throwing rocks at Spike.Spike shielded himself with his arms quickly taking shelter towards Sugarcube corners for protection.
"Mr and Mrs Cake! I need help!" Spike said seeing them. He saw Mrs Cake looking sad while entering the kitchen.
"Spike..I have some bad news."
"Ah no no no! Not you two!"
"Spike you must understand...."
"No you understand! I just got the worst day of my life! And you know what I thought you of all ponies would understand me! You believe me when I was in my greed state! Why now!" Spike shouted at him wanting a respond,the respond he got was silent. "So that is it huh? I hope this action of yours will haunt you back!" Spike shouted leaving the Sugarcube corner. Spike had enough he wanted to go home maybe the girls would be helpful.
"So this is your answer?" Spike heard Luna's voice. He hid by the corner to listen to more. He saw all his friends there probably for a secret meeting.
"Yes princess Spike should be safer if he was in the dragon territory. Ponyville isn't the place for him to be anymore" Spike eyes widen when he heard Twilight for what she said.
"Excellent now we must find young Spike so-"
"So you can what!?" Spike shouted.
"Ah young Spike! We would looking for you.You see we-"
"I heard enough." Spike shouted at them with tears forming. Everypony saw Spike who grinding his teeth"I'm better off with the dragons just because I am dangerous!"
"What!" Twilight and the girls shouted.
"Young Spike you must have misheard!" Luna try to calm down the dragon while placing her hooves on his shoulder.
"Don't touch me."
"Young Spike we-"
"Don't touch me!" Spike yelled at Luna shocking everypony in the room."I had the worst day in my life! Everypony thinks I'm a monster! A monster! I wanted to go home to now realize that my best friends think the same as them!" Spike explain walking back outside. Pinkie Pie body's shuddered signaling Twilight.
"A doozy!" Pinkie shouted as her body continue to shudder.
"Spike you should get back inside."
"Oh shut up Twilight!" Spike laugh."What can possibly go-" Spike was interrupted as something quickly took him away from them. Everypony in the room stood there with their eyes widen as Pinkie's shuddering calm down. They remain where they were staring at the spot Spike was at which was replace with some blooding drops.
Spike continue to scream as he landed straight at a tree.""Auuaaagghh!" Spike scream seeing a giant spear impaled in his chest. Spike continue to freakout trying to remove the blade inside his chest which hurted so much causing him to lose function of both arms.Spike continue to look around trying to find out where he was. He was in the Everfree Forest,meaning no pony was around except for one zebra,the problem is that he always forget where she lives. He continue to grunt observing his blood which was now leaking.
"I'm sure somepony will save me.I know they will I bet they are planning for my rescue" Spike said waiting for them.
3 hours later.
Spike tried to keep his eyes open,for the hours he's been here. Spike feel like he wanted to rest.
"I'm so tired..very very tired..I fell like I messed up..I really really messed up.A quick nap..wo..would do.If I wake up Tw...Twilight already took me to the hospital..an..and I been..fine."" Spike close his eyes so he could wait. Spike begins to sleep only to hear someone nearby. He open his eyes seeing to figures. He saw two heiillians in front of him. One was a male taller than him who wore a sharply dressed black suit wearing a trench coat. He had orange scales with black hair. The other was female yet he couldn't see her appearance do to her suit of armor and surcoat.
"You don't know who I am..yet I know who you are." He spoke to the weak Spike.
"Who...are you?"
"I am Chronos...that is all I have to say." Chronos pulled out the medallion shocking Spike."Aurora seems to not tell you anything,She may do that so no one will know of her plan.It seems she did not suspect this" He exlpain as he placed the medallion on Spike. Chronos got himself up taking a step back away from the injured heidillian."Spike for your sake never trust her..Then again never trust us gods." Spike's eyes widen wanting more answers yet the female knight approached him spinning back kick the spear deeper into his chest.
"Gwah!" Spike gag as his body became limp not responding to life.
Wilhelm charge at the crystal guards who were surrounded by a dark aura. Wilhelm used his blunt side on the blade to knock him unconscious. The more he defeat they continue to increase in number
"Damn it!" Wilhelm shouted while Aria fire her blunt arrows at the remaining ones.
"This will be much easier if we kill them!" Aria shouted. Wilhelm saw a bright flash of coming from the top of the castle.
"Oh no Luna!" Wilhelm use a wind spell leaving Aria alone. She pulled a blunt dagger sighing for being left alone.
"Guess you let me do all the work...again!" She growl. Wilhelm landed on top of the roof seeing Luna on the ground. He went to her so he can see if she was alright.
"Luna! Luna!"
"Hehe!" Wilhelm heard a laughter behind him. He saw an stallion smiling as him while he approach the angry Heidillian.
"What the hell did you do to her!"
"I reveal her the truth.Her jealousy will turn into some..dark!" He spoke then clears his throat."My name is King Sombra,ruler of the Crystal Empire."
"I don't care who you are! Like the others your dead!" Wilhelm charge at him in anger only to be blasted by his magic. Wilhelm was pushed back in the blast hitting the walls. Sombra saw the pile of rubble. He smile again defeating a weakly.
"Dragons can never m-
"Arrrggghhhh!" Wilhelm yelled under the rubble,he power up causing the entire rubble to incinerate. Sombra observe Wilhelm who had a red aura around him.
"Impressive." Sombra appraise Wilhelm never seeing this before."You have powers that I never seen. Join me and we will-
"Shut up!"
"What!"
"I serve a emperor that was a tyrant and I will never serve another!" Wilhelm roar at him."My only respond is a fight to the death!"Sombra glared at the heidillian angry that he refused his offer.
"Such a shame...like the weak princesses you will perish like them!" Sombra holler at him. The two warriors stare directly at each other powering up their magic til a unexpected magical blast caused them to leap back just in time for it to missed,The blast was strong however both were still able to get their balance the moment they touch the ground. Sombra gazed at a figure standing above him.

"He wore Eclispa's medallion."
"What's the point! You said he was alive so we dug up his grave and we found his body is still there! Poor Fluttershy was scared for life."

"Shit! Dodge!" One of the soldier was caught off guard as he rolled in time while his ally begins opening fire at Spike's location.
"What are you doing!? We were suppose to take him alive not kill him!" The soldier shouted at the other who gulp loudly.
"Sorry! It was just common instinct!" One of them replied as the soldier who almost got shot grab his ally's shirt collar.
"If we fail then we rot in Bargate Prison!" He scream at him with rage as the soldier nodded with fear however Spike appears out of nowhere holding one of rifles aiming at the irritated heidilian.
"Behind you!" The angry soldier turned around shocked behind him was Spike who letting out a big smile impaling him with the bayonet on the rifle in his neck.
"Gwah!" The gasp from the collision gasping for air as for the other one. He fell back crawling away scared for what happened watching Spike still holding the rifle which still hold his dying ally on his feet.
"Such a magnificent weapon I saw the one fool press this." Spike see his dying victim struggle to breath as he kept gripping the rifle with little life he has,while Spike pressed the trigger in front of his ally's face. The soldier face blew up at the moment Spike pulled the trigger soaking the soldier and Twilight with his blood,a piece of helmet fragment flew to twilight's cheeks cutting her. Twilight ignore the pain still staring at Spike for what he's done.
"S-Spike..y-you killed him!" Twilight spoke in disbelief. The now lone soldier was speechless too than started grinding his teeth at of anger.

"Hahaha!" Spike laugh like a maniac from taking that kick.The soldier didn't expect Spike's reaction as Spike grab his leg pulling him close to him attacking him with a clothesline. The soldier's helmet flew off as he cough out blood from the attack. Spike smile again walking towards him launching multiple stomps at his head. Twilight backed away for what Spike was doing.He was almost unrecognizable for his actions. Spike continues stomping and laughing for inflicting pain on him. As his attacks finally stop letting the injure solider crawl close to him. Spike lifted his neck up using his foot by lifting his toe on his jaw.
"My my such a pity...you fought back.. yet failed...that boreds me." Spike spoke hearing soldier grunt in pain.
"*Heavy breathing* Do it!" He grunted while coughing."You kothar!(Demon!)"
"Kothar? Yes I like it sounds meancing!" Spike open his claw as he prepared to finish him.
"Spike stop!" Spike turned his head seeing Twilight who jumped on his arm pulling his arm down."Spike don't this! This isn't you! You cant do this!"
"No... I won't...I can't." Spike said calmly. Twilight let out a sigh in relief placing her hoof gently on his face however Spike grab her hoof."But this is what I embraced now!" Spike shouted kneeing Twilight in the stomach.
"Gwah!" Twilight fell to the ground having the wind knock out of her. Twilight cough and gasp from the pain only to take a second to see his sin mark and realizing something was very different. His mark didn't match the one she saw. It was moon.Spike let out a menacing laugh while the magic was release out of his palm towards the soldier directly blasting him.
"Aaaahhhhh!" He screams leaving only trances of his burnt uniform now floating down the floor.
"Who...are you!" Twilight said struggling to get up with wobbly legs yet fell back to the ground. Spike turn around chucking from Twilight's question.
"You don't know how long..I always wanted to do that. Ever since our first encounter from the castle. I was close to victory...until you ruined it!" Twilight felt a stomp from Spike's legs. Twilight felt him crushing her head letting out a familiar laugh while revealing those blue..reptile like eyes.
"I...No it can't be!"Twilight eyes widen even more hearing Spike laughing again more.
"Oh it's true my dear element! I have return! Much better..In a heidillan body!"
