//------------------------------// // This Means War! // Story: Spike vs Flash Sentry // by Ragnarok17 //------------------------------// Years ago... A 7 years old boy named Flash Sentry with blue spiky hair was wearing a black hoodie, a white shirt and blue shorts and pair of sneakers with lightning bolts on the sides. He was playing his little guitar that he got from Christmas when he heard someone crying. Without hesitation, he decides to check on the source of the crying. “I hope no one got hurt” When Flash finally found the source of the crying, he saw a boy who is a year younger than him with green spiky hair was wearing white shoes, little brown shorts, and a purple short sleeved shirt curled up and crying while leaning against trash cans. Flash notices blood on his knees and pulled out some bandage and comfort the young boy. ”Hey kid, what’s wrong? Did you got lost?” he gave him a comforting smile as bandaged the young boy’s knee. A younger boy looked at Flash who is still sobbing. “No....... My parents died in a car crash and I got no places to go! I’m lonely! Nobody want me because..... because......” younger boy begins, only for Flash to cut him off by hugging him. “I may not know about you but I can tell what you went through” Flash let go of him and look at him with a serious expression, “If nobody want you, just ignore them! They don’t deserve you! If you got no places to live, you can live with my family” Flash put his hand on younger boy’s shoulder ”You want me to live with you and your family? But what if they don’t want me?” Boy asked Flash in a concern tone. “Trust me, they will love you no matter what” Younger boy stop crying as he feeling better “Okay” ”Name’s Flash Sentry, what’s your?” “Spike Drake” Flash extends his hand “Let’s be friends” “Yeah!” Spike took Flash’s hand 10 Years Later At the hallway, A 16 years old Spike Drake is being chased down by Garble and his goons. “Come back here! Give us our eggs back!” Garble demanding Spike “You’ll never take me alive, copper!” Spike stick his tongue at Garble which pisses him off “That’s it!” Garble with flame on his eyes run faster than his gangs who are way too tired to catch up with Garble. “All yours, Garble!” Clump panting before he and others passed out. Garble continues of chasing Spike down in order to get his precious eggs back from him. “I said “Give us our eggs back!” You Power Ponies-loving boy!” “Never!” Spike open the door and he went through the soccer field while Garble continues to follow him. Before Spike can do anything, Garble tackle him in the field while the eggs landed safety. “Gotcha!” Garble restrains Spike as he grab Spike’s hair and put his face in the grass. “This is what happens when you mess with the wrong people!” Garble keep Spike’s face on the grass, “Why did you steal our eggs?! If you don’t give me a damn answer right now, I going to make you to eat mud until you give me an answer!” Garble laughs at him “Spike!” “Huh?” Garble turn around and before he can respond, Flash tackle him causing Spike to get up and grab the eggs. “What are you doing to him?!” Flash angrily glares at Garble while holding him down. “That punk stole our eggs!” Garble tries to justify his action. “No! You stole those eggs from Fluttershy! She was taking care of them until you and your goons steal it from her!” Spike angrily glares at Garble. Garble was going to yell, only to stop himself when he see Principal Celestia, Vice Principal Luna and Fluttershy coming and he thought ‘Oh shit, here’s come the goddesses of the school’ “Garble! You dare to try to steal Fluttershy’s eggs?” Celestia asked Garble in a stern tone “Just because you are so high and mighty doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want” Luna scolds Garble Fluttershy get into Garble’s face while Flash hold him down “What were you and others going to do with my eggs?” Garble attempt to lie “Well, me and others were thinking......” but he notices intense flame on Fluttershy’s eyes who use her stare on him and he gulped before he finally give in, “Okay, we stole your eggs so we can smash to pieces” Hearing this cause Fluttershy to slap Garble “Ow! What did I do?! I told you the truth!” “You big jerk! How dare you of hurting animals like that?!” She huffed before she smiled at Spike who is holding her eggs. “Thank you, Spike for protecting my eggs” “Don’t thank me, thank Flash! He’s the one who stop Garble before he can hurt me and your eggs” Flash let go of Garble and approached Spike “Come on Spike! You deserve this! I could never take credits from you! You are the hero” Spike blushed “Please, I just helping a friend out!” Flash smiles “Yeah, me too” Spike look at his smartphone “Oh shoot! Look time the school is over! We should get back home before your parents get all worried about us” “Agree” He and Flash walk away together while Celestia and Luna scolding Garble for his actions and suspends him and his gangs for 3 weeks for their actions of stealing and attempting to destroy Fluttershy’s eggs. At Spike and Flash’s home, Both of them are playing Mortal Kombat 11 with Spike playing as Scorpion and Flash playing as Sub-Zero. While Flash do play video games, he wasn’t good as Spike who is dominate at video games. “Jesus Christ, Spike! Go easy on me!” “Sorry Flash but I don’t go easy on anyone when it come to video games!” Spike smirked before he curb-stomped Flash’s character and the screen appear FINISH HIM! Spike push Back Down Down 1 buttons and Scorpion kills Sub-Zero with “You’re Next” fatality FATALITY! Spike laughs while Flash fall in knee and raises his arm up as he yell ”NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!” in the most dramatic tone, “Curse you Spike Drake! I will get my revenge on you!” Flash playfully threatens Spike as he throw his pillow at him “Relax, Flash. It’s just a game! You will get back at me someday!” Spike chuckles before he lay down on his bed. He turn to Flash, “How your romantic relationship with Sunset, Flash?” Flash sighed “It didn’t work out” “What? What happens?” Spike is surprised about this “Me and Sunset thought it’s best to be friends than lovers since we constantly getting arguments with each other, we are on better terms with each other by the way”. “Sorry to hear that, buddy” “What about you? you and Rarity broke up with each other?” Flash asked Spike in concern tone. “How did you know that?” “Sweetie Belle told me about it” Flash notices sad look on Spike and walk toward him, “Why didn’t you tell me about you and Rarity breaking up each other?” “I was just still upset of how the way Rarity broke up with me. She thought the idea of her and me together wouldn’t work because she’s a popular girl and I’m an Average Joe-type guy, she’s straight up told me that I’m so out of her league and I got pissed off of hearing that and I walk out on her” he sighed in sadness “I can’t believe I wasting my time on chasing her even though she would pick a handsome guy over me.” Spike lay down the bed more “From now on, I won’t be in love anymore! Loving a girl give nothing but pain to me” Flash comfort Spike “Come on, just because a girl doesn’t love you doesn’t mean you should give up already. There’s a lot of beautiful girls out there who deserve you more than Rarity!” Spike sighed, “I don’t know, if I try to fall in love with any girls, what if they rejects me? Why would a beautiful girl fall in love with an Average Joe who have a pudgy fat? I am not worthy to be dating any beautiful girls” Spike frowns before Flash grab him and hugging him tightly “Don’t say that! You don’t know if a girl rejects you or not! Don’t be so hard on yourself! Being upset about Rarity won’t get you anywhere! You can’t let one break-up prevent you from dating another girl! Just have faith on yourself! Please, Spike! Do it for me..... buddy” he pleaded At first, Spike is unsure but he eventually smiles and hug Flash “Thank you Flash for the advice.... I need it after the break-up” Spike and Flash parted the hug “Flash, when I get married, you will be my best man” Spike smiled “Same for you, Spike.” Flash smiled Flash get up and about to left the room when he looked at Spike “When you do fall in love with another girl, I will show my support for you, buddy” “Thank Flash, I will do same for you” “Goodnight, Spike” “Goodnight, Flash” he replied Flash walk off and close the door while Spike lay down on his bed. He thought ‘I hope the girl I fall in love will be the one I been looking for’ The Next Day Spike and Flash walk together to the school and they notices the big crowds at the school. “Hey Flash, what’s going on here? Did something happens?” Spike asked Flash “I don’t know but I never see this so crowded, let’s check it out, buddy!” Flash ran off while Spike trail behind him “Hey wait up!” Both Spike and Flash go through the crowd to see What's all the commotion about and when they finally got to the one where they can see. “Okay guys, can someone tell me what’s going on her-“ Spike didn’t finish his sentence as he was distracted by the figure and his eyes wided “Oh my!” Flash is worried “Spike? What’s wrong?” He turn his head around to see what’s Spike is looking at and his eyes wided “Oh my!” What standing in front of them is a beautiful girl had long dark purple hair with a single pink streak in it. Her outfit included light purple shoes with matching socks, a darker purple skirt with start patterns on it, and a blue buttoned up shirt. The girl is around Flash’s age but is one year older than Spike. Principal Celestia approached in front of the crowd “Everyone, please welcome to our new student..... Twilight Sparkle!” Spike is so amazed by Twilight that it cause him to hallucinate a hammer hitting his head with a lot of heart coming out of him. Goes same for Flash as he also hallucinate a cuckoo clock coming out of his stomach with heart on the cuckoo’s eye Twilight wave her hand to the crowd as she went to the entrance, everyone except Spike and Flash who are still in their hallucination follow her. 20 Minutes Later Spike and Flash are still in their hallucination until both of them finally got out of it! “Woah! What just happened?” Spike groans “I think we are being charmed by that goddess!” Flash exclaimed “Impossible! How could we charmed by her?! We just went through bad breakup especially me and yet I somehow charmed by her?!” Spike wonder how did he got charmed by Twilight of all people. “I don’t know” Spike turn to Flash with a smile on his face “Flash.... I think I am in love with her” For few seconds, Flash doesn’t respond to Spike until he turn his head with a confused expression “WHAT?!” Spike sighed and look at him with a serious expression “Flash, for all this time, I always thought Rarity was for me but at the end, she wasn’t the girl I looking for...... now, I finally found her and her name is Twilight Sparkle!” Spike exciting jump around like a lover boy “Flash! I must ask her out!” As Spike about to leave, Flash grab Spike’s shoulder and forcefully him to look at his twitchy eyes “Oh, no, you’re not! I’m the one who saw her first, Spike! So that means Twilight is the one that I am destined to be with!” Spike shrugged off Flash’s hand out of his shoulder “Flash, you promise me that when I fall in love with someone, you would show your support for me! You promised!” Spike glares at Flash who apparently went back on his promise “Yeah, I promise! sorry to disappoint you, Spikey but I think Twilight would rather want to be with someone who can guarantee her protection unlike you!” Flash turn away from Spike “Now, excuse me. I going to ask Twilight out” As Flash about to walk away, Spike tackle him and glares at Flash who have an angry expression toward Spike “Oh, no! Just because you look handsome doesn’t mean you can steal her away from me, Flashy!” “Oh really? This is how you treat your own friend, Hum Drum?” Flash use his strength to set himself free from Spike who land on a bush. Spike continually to glares at Flash “You wanna fight over her, Flashy?! Alright! From now on, we are officially mortal arch-enemies! The friendship between us are over!” Flash glares at Spike “Fine!” He spit at Spike who dodge it “That’s so low of you, Flashy! You won’t be smiling when Twilight pick me!” “No! Twilight will definitely going to pick me, Spikey! After all, why would a beautiful girl like her fall in love with Average Joe like you?” Spike huffed at him as he walk away. Flash glares at his former friend who is walking away from him “This means war! Spike!” Spike and Flash are no longer friends anymore as they become mortal arch-enemies who despises each other.
