"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.
