The boy and girl in the stands were watching the way Spike was reacting. The boy said, "His blood temperature is rising quickly... If this keeps up, the reaction will reach its peak quickly."
The girl nodded and replied, "Still, do you think anything good will come if it does? Look around you, everyone is noticing something is happening. If he jumps into the fray, it's going to cause a panic."
The boy sighed and said, "We'll need to deal with that, but let's just focus on our observations."
Spike was getting antsy waiting for the Exam Droid to make its move. The longer he waited, the more he wanted to jump into the fray. He finally had an opening when the Exam Droid's Dilopho knocked out his Dimetro. When it did, he smirked and said, "Let's get it on!" jumping high in the air and landing perfectly where his Dimetro was standing.
Twilight's eyes widened and she said, "I-Is he insane!?"
Shining Armor looked at his parents and whispered, "It's that thing again... he was like this when we first found him."
Night Light nodded, "We never found out why though, and it hasn't happened since."
Twilight Velvet gulped and said, "I hope he doesn't get hurt..."
The announcer stuttered into the microphone and said, "I-It seems Spike has jumped into the arena to take the place of his fallen Dimetro! Technically there's no rules restricting the use of extra Vivosaurs, but this!? Never before has a fighter jumped into the battle!"
Pinkie squealed and said, "This calls for some exciting background music!" she pulled out a computer and typed something in, and suddenly, music seemed to play from nowhere.
The boy with spiky black hair looked around confusedly and said, "The fuck? Where is that music coming from?"
The girl said, "Ignore it and focus." although she found herself tapping her foot as the music played.
Spike closed his eyes and took a deep breath through his nose before exhaling. He opened his eyes with a glare. His vision had turned into something that looked like he had heat sensing goggles on. When the timer turned to his turn he jumped at Dilopho. As he did, his nails turned sharp and claw-like, and his teeth grew in a way that they looked like fangs. He screeched like a raptor as he clawed at Dilopho and kicked it doing a backflip.
As Dilopho passed out and returned to its Dino Medal form, the announcer said, "Incredible! Spike attacked the Exam Droid's Dilopho head on, and actually managed to knock it out! I have never seen a more exciting and wondrous battle in all my years as an announcer!"
Rainbow Dash rubbed her eyes and said, "Holy crap, Batman! How could he do that!?"
Twilight's glasses were falling off on one side and as she adjusted them she said, "This can't be real... It defies the laws of... I don't even know what kind of laws this defies! There's no scenario I can think of where this makes sense! Even Pinkie Pie couldn't do something like this!"
As his turn ended, Spike seemed to start to return to his normal self. He looked at his hands, seeing that the scales of Dilopho were underneath his nails. He was still excited, but he was also a little scared. He didn't know what happened after Dimetro had been knocked out, but it was obvious that he was on the battlefield.
The Exam Droid had its Tro attack Spike. Spike's eyes widened and he shut them in fear of the incoming attack. He felt the Vivosaur biting his arm, which he had put up in defense, and strangely enough, he wasn't screaming in horrible pain. As Tro returned to its side of the field, Spike opened his eyes, looking at where he had been bitten. His clothes had bite marks through them, but there were no signs of blood.
Twilight Velvet put her hands on her cheeks screaming "My baby boy! Is he hurt!? Stop the battle, something's not right!"
Shining Armor looked through his binoculars and said, "No, he's not even bleeding from the attack! This is not normal. No human could ever knock out a Vivosaur, and then tank an attack like that."
Night Light looked at his wife and said, "We did find that strange device when we found Spike. He was in a crater, and it looked like he had been encased in stone... Maybe we don't know as much about Spike as we think we do..."
Spike shook his head, "I don't have time to think this over! I've got to get my head in the game!" he started heating up again, and the changes in his body started to take place again, claws and fangs started to form again. He attacked Tro, but this time, he used a three part combo. First he slashed at Tro, jumped with a backflip, kicking twice, and when he landed, he cupped his hands and sent out a burst of energy.
As Tro fainted and turned back to its Dino Medal, the announcer said, "And Spike has defeated Tro! That was the Exam Droid's last Vivosaur! With some sort of miracle, Spike Drake has passed his graduation test!"
Spike roared like a raptor again, before the form ended and he fell to the ground, unconscious. First Aid responders, along with Spike's friends and family rushed onto the field and put Spike on a stretcher and took him to the First Aid office. The girl and boy in the stands had disguised themselves as First Aid responders.
When the others were gone, the boy told his family, "Please, Spike is going to be fine. We need to take some blood samples, and hopefully they can explain what happened out there."
Meanwhile the girl was collecting a blood sample and when she did, she walked out and said, "We've got all the vitals we need to okay him for visitors. We'll be on our way." The two quickly left, and Spike's friends and family rushed into Spike's room.
A doctor walked in and took out a needle, and took blood from Spike, causing Twilight to ask, "Didn't you just collect blood? Two of the responders already came in here and took a sample."
The doctor raised an eyebrow and said, "No, none of our staff have come to check in on Spike. If somebody did come in here, it was unauthorized. I'll look into it later. For now, Spike needs to rest and then celebrate. Although the battle did have an unexpected outcome, the academy has decided to pass him. Don't worry, he'll be fine. I think this may have been a spur of the moment sort of thing."
The boy said to his sister, "So Duna, how is the blood analysis coming?"
Duna said, "You pestering me is not going to analyze the sample any quicker Raptin. Just put a sock in it and wait."
Spike started to wake up and said, "Ugh... What happened?" he looked at his arm and saw the bite marks in his clothing and said, "Dammit! This is my favorite hoodie!"
Twilight glared at him and said, "Your hoodie is fixable, what isn't is you! Why would you jump into a fossil battle like that!?"
Spike's eyes widened and said, "I did what!?" he started remembering what happened and said, "I don't know... something in my brain was telling me to fight..."
