//------------------------------// // Search & Rescue // Story: Spike's Ponyville Adventures // by Spikemaster105 //------------------------------// It was very late and everypony was asleep, Fluttershy was up talking to one of her animal friends. "Please find my son Mr Owl, and make sure you let the bats in the cave know too", the night bird nodded in understanding and flew away. The shy Pegasus mare headed towards her bed where her sleeping boyfriend was at, she then got back in bed hoping her little boy is alright wherever he is so she can bring him home tomorrow. With Princess Luna in the Hall of Dreams, she was looking for Spikes or his friends so she can know where they're at and let their families know. Suddenly she came across Sweetie Belles Dream Door and entered it, she saw she was in a cave with tunnels, then saw poor unicorn filly running scared. She saw three dog like creatures chasing her and telling her things like, "I'm gonna eat you", or, "Your boyfriend tasted good, wonder how you taste". She ran after the little unicorn filly and stopped her, she was scared at first but saw it was Princess Luna, then she cried hugging her. The night Princess hugged her back trying to calm her down, "It's ok, it was all a bad dream..tell me where are you and your friends". "W-We're in Diamond Dog territory, w-we were trying to get our cutie marks in exploring a cave and..", she sniffed wriping her tears. "We never should have come here, and Spike", tears broke through again remembering what the second tallest Diamond Dog did to her friend for trying to escape ealier. "What about little Spike?" "H-He tried to escape but they caught him before he can exit the cave and beat him, his wing is broken and has a black eye and broken nuzzle, they broke his legs too". She remembered how much Scootaloo cried hearing her boyfriend get beat as he screams in agony. "Who is the one that hurt him?" "The second tallest one, I think his name was Fido". The Princess nodded in understanding, "We know where the Diamond Dog territory is at, stay strong little one help will come to you tomorrow morning", the unicorn filly nodded in understanding. She let her go and exited the dream, "I feel sorry for those Diamond Dogs". The next morning Spikes family was rushing towards the Diamond Dog territory, Fluttershy and Soarin was pissed from hearing that their only son is injured. "What I'm gonna do to them for assaulting my little boy", the shy Pegasus mare said to herself through gritted teeth. Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash were angry since they knew who has their little sisters and daughter. They reached the place and entered the cave without a second thought, they split up when entering the tunnels so they can cover more ground. Soon Posey and Joe found the kid's digging and hid, they looked weak, hungry and thirsty, but their eyes widen when they saw their grandson. They can tell he was hurt, they can see his broken leg and wing, also the bruises on his body, they rushed towards them not caring if they are surrounded. "You kid's ok?", they stopped digging turning to them as they cheered knowing they are safe. "Grandma..grandpa", they heard Spike say, but it sounded like it hurts him to talk, they turned to him and saw his broken muzzle and black eye. Posey rushed towards him, "What did they do to you", she said as tears filled her eyes, this was the first time seeing her only grandson hurt like this and she doesn't like it. The armored Dog creatures surrounded them and pointed their spears at them, "You ain't going anywhere little ponies", suddenly a rainbow blur knocked one of them out with a kick to the jaw. The rest of the adults came running up to them, Soarin, Fluttershy, Zephyr, Stormy and Wind were shocked to see the condition their son, nephew and grandson was in. Tears broke through the shy Pegasuses eyes when her hurt son limped towards her, she rushed towards him and embraced him, while the rest of the kid's did the same with the adults. "Who did this to you sweetie, point him out", the colt pointed at Fido, the Diamond Dogs attacked the adults, only to get blasted away by the glaring lavender alicorn making them yelp in pain. They backed off realising the Princess is too powerful for her and her friends to be captured. The family and friends noticed the carts filled with gems, "I wanna go home, they haven't given us anything to drink or eat since yesterday, they only let us sleep", Button told them. "It's ok darling, we're here now". Suddenly Fluttershy carefuly passed her hurt son to her boyfriend, then she rushed towards the now pissed scared Diamond Dogs, they realized they fight back. "You...you're gonna meet a very special friend of mines tonight", was all she said to Fido confusing him and the rest of the Diamond Dogs. "W-What do you mean by that, what special friend?" She ignored him and started walking back towards her family and friends, "Come on, let's get back to town and get Spike to a Hospital", they nodded and started to head out. Hour's later in Ponyvilles General Hospital, the family, Scootaloo and her friends were waiting outside the surgery room. "He's gonna be ok Scootaloo, he's strong", Rainbow told her teary eyed daughter wrapping a wing around her in a hug. After awhile the doors open and a unicorn stallion came out wearing a white coat and surgery mask, Fluttershy and Soarin got up, "How is he Doctor Stable, is my little boy gonna be ok?" He pulled the mask down, "He's gonna be fine...but uh", he gave them a frown they didn't like. "But what?", Posey said impatient. "His wing, I was able to save it but...there will be a sixty percent chance he might never get to fly", that shocked the stallions. Soarin started pacing getting angry, as he got angrier he decided to step outside the building. When he was outside, he started making angry horse noises and bucked a tree, he felt tears in his eyes feeling like he failed as a father, but quickly wriped them away. "I won't give up on you Spike, I won't", he said to himself knowing his sons Wonderbolt dream now has a fourty percent chance of coming true. Back in the Hospital with the rest of the family, "He'll be out of the Hospital in two months", they nodded in understanding. "Can we see him", the stallion nodded and stepped aside letting them in the room, there they saw the bandaged and gauzed up colt asleep. He had a IV machine attached to him along with another machine, the mares felt heartbroken looking at their nephew and grandson like this, especially Fluttershy and Scootaloo. They decided to leave and visit him later, the shy Pegasus mare went up to her son and placed a hoof on the bed, "I'll visit you later on ok", she kissed his head. Scootaloo went up to him also, "Me too Spike, hope you get better..I love you", she kissed his cheek. Zephyr went up to his nephew next, "Stay strong kid". Then Spitfire, "Don't give up, you will fly with us and become a Wonderbolt", she kissed his head. Then a teary eyed Stormy and Posey went up to their grandson and kissed his head in union, they were too hurt for him to say anything. Later when the sun was going down, Fluttershy was in tears listening to her son cry, her and Soarin already told him that he has a forty percent chance of learning how to fly because of his injured wing. After awhile he cried himself to sleep, the shy Pegasus went home and Soarin decided to stay with his son for tonight. When she got home, "Harry I need to talk to you", she told the kind bear when she saw him. He gave her his full attention growling softly like he was talking to her, "No he's not ok, he emotionally hurt about his dream becoming a Wonderbolt now only has a forty percent chance of coming true". The caused the kind bear to growl angrily as she nodded, "Yes, it's time", then he gave a toothy grin as she headed inside to make a sandwich. Soon when it was dark, they walked through the tunnels and found the nervous Diamond Dogs, she put down the bag. They saw her and the bear becoming scared, she saw the guards shakenly point their spears at them. "Drop them", they didn't do it, "NOW", they jumped at that quickly dropping the weapons, Harry walked up to them and grabbed them, before tossing them aside. Fluttershys focused was on a scared Fido, "My son is in the Hospital because of you, my little boy...he has a forty percent chance of flying because of you", she said through gritted teeth walking towards him. He started backing up untill his back hit the wall, the bear was making sure the other two didn't get the jump on her. "M-Me sorry, please don't hurt me...F-Fido give pretty pony all the gems she wants", he tried to bargain with her in fear. She shook her head no, "Harry, he is the one who hurt Spike", the bear growled angrily at the Diamond Dog making him piss himself. Then she backed away back towards where she dropped her bag, "All of you's but Fido, sit down now", they obeyed. "I want you all to watch this, this is what happens when you put your claws on my son", Fido was trapped between the wall and the bear. "Harry", the bear turned to her, "Kill him and make it painful", he nodded and turned his attention back to the scared Diamond Dog. "N-No please..Fido is sorry", he tried to beg for his life, but it went unheard. The view went to Fluttershy who grabbed her bag and pulled out a daisy sandwich as the shadow showed the bear pouncing on Fido. Then the bear started ripping him apart as the rest of the Diamond Dogs were forced to watch in horror. The sounds of screams of agony, angry bear growls and flesh being ripped apart filled the tunnels. The shy Pegasus mare continued to watch the gruesome mauling, "A mothers love has no boundaries", was all she said before she started eating her sandwich.
