The next day leon woke to the sound of everyone else in a panic. “What is going on!?”
“Its Spike! He's Gone!” Twilight said in a panic.
“Gone!? Why?”
“I went to wake him up since he’s usually up before us. When I got to his room, his window was open and I found this note.” Twilight said showing him the note.
Dear Girls,
Ever since the battle yesterday, I just can’t help but realise how weak I am. So starting now I am going off to become stronger. Don’t worry, I will come back.
Sincerely,
Spike[i/]
“I must go after him! Where would he likely go to train?”
“I have no idea where he would go. He’s never ‘trained’ before. The only place I can think of is here at the castle, the dragon lands, and Canterlot and he’s not at any of them! I sent a letter to Princess Ember and she says Spike’s not there, but she coming to help look. Spike would never go to canterlot, not unless Celestia’s there and we already checked the castle.”Twilight panicked.
“What about here?” leon pointed to a spot on a nearby map.
“The Badlands? No, There's nothing there. Spike may be a child but he his very smart.” Twilight said looking at the map.
“Darling, tell me you have any good new’s!?” Rarity said walking to twilight's side.
“I’m afraid not. We’re trying to think of where he would go.” Twilight answered.
“Why not here?” he said pointing to the nearby forest.
“That could make sense.” The more twilight thought about it, the more of a possibility it became of Spike going there. While Rarity just passed out.
“Oh, no.”
“Whats wrong? Why is that so bad?”
“The Everfree Forest Is a very dangerous place and it covers about 20% of equestria. But it makes way too much sense that he would go there.” Twilight answered
“He doesn't want anyone to interrupt but i could go and at least keep him safe.”
“No, you are the last one that should go. Like you pointed out yesterday, you’re the only one who can fight the krawl. I don’t want to admit it, but we can’t afford for anyone to go after him.”
Before he has the chance to nod leon feels something off. “This is weird but i think i’m not the only spectrobe on this planet.”
”What’s that supposed to mean?”
Deep in the everfree forest a small drake could be found running for his life from timberwolves. ‘I have to find a place to hide!’ Spike thought. He was currently running along the bottom of a cliff and was coming up to corner. Spike rounded the corner and saw a small cave and without much thought Spike dove in. The timberwolves just ran by the cave without looking.
“That was close!” Spike breathed a sigh of relief. Once he got a good look at the cave he was in he noticed something. The cave he was in was a small room, but on the other side of the room was a small creature. It had a blue body with dozens of small white stripes all over it. It also had, what looked like, still lightning bolts coming from its head. Spike was fascinated by the creature, until he heard noise from outside.
“Crap! Their back.” Spike said just loud enough for the wolves to hear. Spike hid right beside the door as 3 wolves entered. They started to walk towards the small creature in the corner. The creature started to get up.
“Huh, where am I?” It said just as he looked towards the wolves. ”Ah! Get back!” he said falling backwards as the wolves began to jump onto him. But before they could land Spike kicked one in the side and like dominoes, they all fell over one after another.
“Come on let's get out of here!” Spike said holding out a claw for the young creature, while he accepted.
“Thank you, my name is Raayn.” Raayn said getting up.
“Nice to meet you, I’m Spike, now let's get out!” Spike said as they raced out of the cave followed by the wolves.
“This way!” Spike said as Raayn followed. Spike lead him deeper into the woods. They were dodging trees left, right and center. While Spike was running he saw a low hanging branch.
“Over there, run passed me!” Spike grabbed the low hanging branch and let Rayyan run passed him and Spike pulled back on the branch
*CRACK*
The sound echoed through the forest as Spike let the branch go hitting the wolves in the head. Spike continued running and caught up with Raayn who had stopped to watch what had happened.
“That was awesome!” But before Spike could thank him the wolves were back on there feet, running straight towards them.
“Let Go!” Spike said starting to run. Eventually they were almost out of breath. They had come face to face with a giant rock. On both side there was big trees and thick brush. This meant one thing they were cornered. The wolves had caught up and were now slowly approaching their prey.
“What do we do now!?” Raayn said in a panic.
“I don't know, were cornered.” Spike said in defeat. Raayn looked on in fear as certain doom approached.
“NO! I WON’T SURRENDER! NOT AGAIN!” Raayn screamed as he began to glow a bright light. It got to a point where no one could see. After a few seconds A much bigger creature came from the bright light. It had the body of a leopard, with long streaks on hair the shape of lightning bolts going all the way down his back. On both of his sides were huge pieces of armor that looked like huge blades. Spike could see spots under the armor where he saw flesh, so he knew that these blade weren't just for show. The only similarity was that the fur was still blue with white streaks all over its body.
The creature leaped towards the wolves and kicked the middle one,the wolf went flying into a tree and exploded into dozens of sticks. The creature then swung their massive blades around and diced the other wolves into sticks as well.
“Wow, what are you?” Spike asked in disbelief.
“I was a Ryza, but now I am a Rygazelle.” Raayn said walking towards Spike. “ might I ask what you are?”
“I’m a dragon.” Spike said proudly.
“Ok, what do we do now?” Raayn asked not knowing what to do.
“We need a good place to stay, how about we go back to that cave. That was a pretty good place to stay.”Spike suggested.
“That sounds like a good idea, how about on our way back you tell me how you got to that cave in the first place.”
*Some time later*
“Wow so you just left, just like that? Raayn asked.
“Yep, But I need to get stronger, so I had to leave.” Spike replied.
“I see, so this Leon fellow, you said he was brought to this world?”
“Yes, he was supposed to be a present to fluttershy.” Spike finished as they entered the cave. “Hey I have an idea! I’m out here to train why don’t you train with me. We will need all the help we can get when we fight the krawl.” Spike asked
“Sure, that sound awesome!” Raayn said excitedly. “It’s getting dark, we should get some rest.”
“That sounds like a good idea. I’ll take one side of the cave while you take the other. How’s that sound?” Spike suggested.
“Thats a good idea and Spike, thanks for saving me earlier.” Raayn said.
“Hey man, we're even. You saved me too.” Spike said laying down.
“Oh yea, Goodnight Spike.”
“Goodnight.” Spike replied.
“Goodnight mom, dad.” Raayn said looking outside.
