//------------------------------// // Chapter 4: Spike and the Comedian // Story: World of Unowns // by FandomPlays1234 //------------------------------// As Spike opened his eyes, he felt a strong numbing sensation in his head. Looking around his surroundings all he could see was white. Not only that but he felt as if he was standing on his head. He felt around with his arms only to feel a cold touch above him. Pulling as hard as he could he managed to free his head from the snow. Looking around he noticed a bunch of trees behind him and a pathway leading to his left and right and more trees in front of him. Looking up he noticed that it was pitch black,"Ugh Giratina where in Equestria did you send me to?" mumbled Spike. He stood up and noticed a gate in the distance to his left. A giant pair of purple doors were to his right. Spike decided to go left since the doors didn't look like they would open. "I've gotta find out where I am," said Spike making his way to the gate. However as he was walking he suddenly got the feeling someone was watching him. he quickly picked up his pace. It was when he reached the gates when he heard footsteps approaching him. Spike's heart began to race as the footsteps got closer and closer eventually stopping behind him. "Dragon don't you know how to greet a new pal," a deep voice spoke up from behind. "Turn around and shake my hand," Spike slowly turned around and grabbed the hand that was reaching out. Upon grabbing the hand, the sound of a raspberry erupted from the figures hand. "Heh the old whoopee cushion in the hand trick it's always funny," said the figure. Spike looked up to see a skeleton wearing a blue hoodie, white T-Shirt, black shorts, and pink slippers. "Heya buddy," said the skeleton. "Um hi?" said Spike. "Oh come on buddy that was funny," said the skeleton laughing. "Um ok who are you?" asked Spike. The skeleton pointed at himself and said,"I'm Sans, Sans the Skeleton," "I'm actually supposed to be on a lookout for humans but eh your no human are you?" "Um No i'm not," said Spike. Sans shrugged,"Well then again I don't really care about capturing anybody," "Now my brother Papyrus he's a human hunting fanatic, actually I think that's him over there," said Sans pointing to a taller skeleton wearing a red scarf. "I've got an idea go on through this gate thingy, yeah go on through my bro made the bars too wide to stop anybody," "Uh ok," said Spike walking through the gateway. "Quick hide behind that conveniently shaped lamp," said Sans pointing to a nearby lamp. "Why?" asked Spike confused. "Uh because," But it appears Sans didn't have an answer. At that moment Papyrus came running up sounding kind of mad. "Sup brother," said Sans. "You know what's up brother," hissed Papyrus. "It's been eight days and you still haven't recalibrated your puzzles!" "You just hang around your station," "What are you even doing!?" "Um uh something," said Sans. "Hey by the way look what I found," said Sans pointing to Spike. "Sans I don't have time for-" Papyrus looked at Spike with a confused look. "Um Sans what is that?" "Hi I'm Spike," said Spike waving his hand. "Spike?" asked Papyrus. "You mean the things in the ruins that can kill you if you step on it?" "What no that's my name," said Spike. "Oh," said Papyrus. "Well hello Spike I am the Great Papyrus," "Isn't he just the coolest?" asked Sans looking at Spike with one glowing blue eye. Feeling that he should probably play along he gave Papyrus a big thumbs up to show that he agrees. "Yeah I knew you would think so," said Papyrus. He turned towards Sans with an annoyed look on his face,"As for you brother put a little more Backbone into your job," cackled Papyrus,"Nyeh, heh, heh, heh," "Hey nice pun there buddy," said a voice from behind Papyrus. The three turned around to see a figure in a black robe standing there with a glass case containing a black C with an eye in the center in his hands. "Wha who are you?" asked Spike. "The names Jenoside, I'm one of the top underlings for the Shadow Force Empire," said the figure. "Jenoside?" said Sans looking down. "Hmm something wrong bonehead?" asked Jenoside. "You don't think I do murder?" asked Sans with one glowing eye. "Oh right my name, yeah I guess you can say I slayed some of your friends," smirked Jenoside. "Wait is that?" asked Spike. "Oh this yeah you were looking for this weren't you?" asked Jenoside. "Indeed this is an Unown," said Jenoside. "A what?" asked Papyrus. "Bro get back he's not safe," said Sans. "Oh come on bro it's not like he's gonna-" But Papyrus's statement was cut short when a sharp pointed object suddenly appeared out of Papyrus's back. By the time Papyrus realized what happened his head fell off and transformed into dust. Jenoside putting his sword back. "Oops," smirked Jenoside. Sans walked over and picked up his scarf tears rolling down his cheek. "Spike was it?' asked Sans. "Um yeah?" asked Spike. "You need that thing in the case?" asked Sans. "Yeah," answered Spike. "Then I'll get it for you," said Sans his eye glowing blue. "Oh what's this you wanna fight?" asked Jenoside. "Fine we can go," said Jenoside drawing his knife. Sans snapped his finger as multiple bones appeared around him,"It's a beautiful day outside, birds are singing, flowers are blooming, on days like these, demons like you, should be burning in hell," "We'll see about that!" said Jenoside lunging at Sans swinging his knife. Sans quickly sidestepped avoiding his attack laughing,"What you think I'm just gonna stand there and take it?" He then snapped his fingers launching several bones at Jenoside. But Jenoside either dodged or deflected his attacks. He raised his knife to go for another attack only to be pelted in the face by a handful of snow. Sans looked back to see Spike holding a snowball in his hand. "Get away from him," Spike hissed. Jenoside cleaned his face of the snow and growled,"So that's how you wanna play it huh," "Fine we can go like that," Jenoside ran at Spike knife in hand. Spike yelped and covered his face with his hands. Sans snapped his fingers as a giant floating skull appeared in front of Spike. It opened it's mouth firing a white blast towards Jenoside knocking him back and the glass case out of his hands. Sans reached up as the case landed in his hands. "Hey kiddo catch," said Sans tossing the case towards Spike. Spike grabbed the case and opened the hatch releasing the Unown. It glared at Spike and hissed. Terrified Spike quickly grabbed a handful of snow and chucked it at the Unown knocking it into a tree. "Hey give that back!" said Jenoside getting up. "Hey kiddo you deal with that I'll handle this," said Sans. As Jenoside and Sans duked it out, Spike kept pelting snow at the Unown but none of the attacks were keeping it down. As the Unown lunged at Spike for another attack, Spike felt his nose getting twitchy as he accidentally sneezed out fire into the Unown causing it to freak out and run around like crazy. The Unown eventually collapsed on the ground. "Did I do it?" asked Spike. Suddenly black energy erupted from the Unown and formed into one big mass that exploded into light and vanished. The Unown slowly got up and shook itself back into reality. "Where am I?' it asked. "What you can speak?" asked Spike. The Unown looked at Spike and yelped. "Oh sorry I didn't mean to scare you," he said raising both of his hands in surrender. Sans and Jenoside looked over to see Unown and Spike. "Hey I think he came back to sense," said Spike waving his hand. "Blast!" said Jenoside. He pointed his finger at the two and hissed,"You're lucky but I'm going to let you off the hook for today," He then ran off from the direction he came from. Sans picked up Papyrus's scarf and wrapped it around himself. "Sans I'm sorry," said Spike. "No kiddo it's not your fault," said Sans. He turned around and looked over at Unown,"So why exactly did you need this thing?" "Oh well it's a long story," answered Spike. And so Spike explained to Sans about everything. Sans nodded his head once he was finished,"I see," "So this thing is gonna choose the so-called legendary warrior?" asked Sans. Spike nodded. "And well it seems like no one else is around so I guess your the legendary warrior," said Unown. "Heh yeah," said Sans. Suddenly Giratina's voice echoed throughout the entire area,"Well done young one, once you are ready enter the portal and return," said Giratina as a portal appeared in front of them. "So what are waiting for?" asked Sans. "Nothing," said Spike. "I think I'll stay here," said Unown. "You sure?" asked Spike. Unown nodded. "Well then let's go," said Spike walking into the portal followed by Sans.
