//------------------------------// // Sent flying // Story: Spike 10 // by Silver Butcher //------------------------------// Twilight was writing as fast as she could as she looked up at the map in front of her, she had just finished the letter and was about to head out to find Spike and have it delivered when Rainbow burst in threw the doors. "Hey, Crazy guy attacking the town with an Ursa," Twilight's eye twitched. "Come on, we gotta hurry," Meanwhile Spike and Fluttershy were hiding in the currently empty Fan shop having a small fight "Four Arms," Spike said as he tried to free his hand from Fluttershy. "No, you can't hurt her," She objected "she's just a baby, she doesn't know what she's doing, just Turn into Ghostfreak and lead her out of town," "It'll be easier to carry her out," "But you might hurt her," Fluttershy pushed the button to lift the faceplate just as Spike gave his best tug, causing it to hit her arm and transform him, in a flash Wildmutt and Fluttershy were standing in silence, Wildmutt gave several irritated noised and Fluttershy gave a nervous laugh. "Oops," was the best she could come up with before Wildmutt picked her up and placed her on his back after a mighty roar Wildmutt ran outside the fan store and looked towards the Ursa, who was digging a hole into the ground, Wildmutt chucked a small rock at it and the Ursa was on them immediately. Wildmutt kept her on his tail with his noise-making, with Fluttershy joining in once she got the idea, the Ursa chased them down as they lead it to the outskirts of the town back towards the Everfree forest, They were just about to make it to the forest when the Ursa slashed into the ground and sent a giant chunk of dirt into Wildmutt and Fluttershy who were sent flying, Fluttershy managed to take flight as Wildmutt ended up flying into the forest and out of sight. Fluttershy kept the Ursa's attention as she dogged its angry swipes. "Oh please calm down," Fluttershy begged as she slowly began leading it back to the forest. The Ursa swiped at her a few more times before it was suddenly enveloped in Lavender Magic. "I got it," Twilight called as she began doing the complex ritual of putting the baby to sleep. With the Ursa now in good hands Fluttershy flew to the forest to check on Wildmutt, she found him snuggly lodged in a tree. "Oh dear, are you ok?" Wildmutt gave a snarl as a reply and she frowned "There is no need for that kind of language," Wildmutt gave a few barks and she smiled at him "Yes I know, now let's see if I can't unstick you," The 4 watched as Animo was carted away, he was tied up and muzzled and on his way to Celestia's Dungeon. "Man that guy was something else," Spike said with a head shake as he waved goodbye to the villain. "Yeah, Something awful," Fluttershy replied before patting Spike on the head "Thanks for stopping him, I've gotta go make sure none of my Animal friends were hurt in his chaos," Fluttershy left the group with a wave before Twilight turned her attention to Spike. "Spike I need you to send this to Princess Celestia, you and I are going to the Crystal Empire," "Yeah ok," Spike replied as he blasted the letter off "So why we going to the Empire?" Twilight pulled the Disk out of her pocket and held it up to Spike before turning it on. "Because those guys who attacked you at the farm dropped this," Spike and Rainbow looked at the map of Equestria that appeared out of the disk, a large red x was resting over the Crystal Empire. "Ah," Spike replied as he looked up at it "That might be bad," "Yeah, good thing you're like," Rainbow thought for a moment "12 different aliens," Twilight processed that and looked over at Spike, who smiled at her with a shrug. "I got a new on," "Of course you did," Twilight replied with a sigh, "Well Rainbow thanks for coming to get me, Spike and I will be heading out-" Rainbow Gave Twilight a smile and she sighed yet again "-but of course, your welcome to come with," "Oh, you know I am, Rainbow Dash and a team of Alien Heros?" Rainbow Scooped Spike up in her arms and tossed him up into the air "We're gonna be freaking Legends!" Spike laughed as she tossed him up. "Yeah, Maybe when I have like 20 or so Aliens I'll make the announcement that all the aliens and I are the same people," Rainbow's eyes sparkled. "Oh man just think of all the cools guys you could get, maybe you'll get one that can fly as fast as I can," "Maybe even faster," Spike replied as Rainbow stopped tossing him and set him back on his feet. "You wish," Rainbow replied with a grin as the two made their way to the Train station, Twilight Teleported away and packed a few books and a pair of noise-canceling headphones. She Teleported to the Trainstation and looked around for Rainbow and Spike, who seemed to have started a conversation with a few other Ponyville residence. "Ditto is without a doubt the best one," Red Heart said as Twilight got close enough to hear. "He's ok," Mr.Cake replied "He definitely tries," He paused for a second and scratched his chin "Or...they definitely try?" There was a moment of silence as the group pondered the odd question before Mr.Cake shrugged "either way, gotta go with Four arms, personal bias," "Heatblast," Octavia decided "Personal bias," "XLR8," Rainbow decided "Kind of scary how fast that guy is," "Um," Spike said as the group looked at him "I dunno, I don't think I have a favorite, just kind of like them all," "Hey, I've been meaning to ask," Mr.Cake said pointing to Spike's wrist "Where'd you get that cool watch, it has there alien police badge thing on it and everything," "Twilight," Spike said without hesitation, The entire group shifted their focus on Twilight who had frozen, Rainbow was snickering," "Don't ask for one," Twilight called out immediately "The thing was expensive, and basically covers Spike's birthday and Christmas for the next 10 years," "Dang," Mr.Cake said as the group began breaking apart so they could sit and wait for the train, "Custom made?" "You know it," Spike said with a smile. "And it was so worth it,"
