//------------------------------// // Rescued // Story: The Life Of Spike Belle // by Spikemaster105 //------------------------------// With Spike and his friends and family, they were shocked and confused as to how Flurry Heart and Pound end up from Foggy Bottom Bog to Diamond Dog territory. "How do you think they end up in there", the group shrugged. "Hey Spike, what would you do if they captured me and took me as a slave worker?", Dinky asked her boyfriend. "Do everything in my power to save you and our unborn baby", he told her giving her a kiss making her smile and hug his side. Seconds of silence, "We should help them". The group turned to their gamer friend, "You sure, it could be dangerous and I don't wanna lose you", Sweetie Belle told her boyfriend with worry. "I know it's dangerous, but still...it's the right thing to do", he explained. Seconds of thinking, "He's right, it would be the right thing to do", Spike spoke up also as Rumble and Tender Taps agreed. Then the guy's turned to their girlfriends, "Listen Dinky, wait for me here with the girls ok", she nodded in understanding as the guy's told their girlfriends the same thing. "You better come back, don't want our unborn baby to come into the world and grow up without a father", she gave him a kiss and hug, he hugged her back. Seconds later they broke and the guy's started heading towards Diamond Dog territory. Many minutes later they arrived there and finished explaining to the Guard's, Twilight, Cadence and Shining Armor that they wanna help, everypony was hiding trying not to be spotted. "Ok we need to sneak inside somehow", the Royal Guard captain explained. Spike shook his head, "That won't work". The unicorn stallion glared, "What do you mean it won't work"? "We need to capture one of those Diamond Dogs, make him tell us where the kid's are...and also lead us in and out of the tunnels, or else we could get lost", the unicorn teen explained. Seconds of thinking, "He's right Captain, who knows how many tunnels there could be...we could make a wrong turn and end up Celestia knows where", a Pegasus guard explained. "Ok then, let's capture one", then they started to sneak around a corner to get closer. With the kid's inside, they were digging but Flurry was concerned and thinking about Pound, they never brought him back and over heard the Dog's say he passed out from the pain. Tears filled her eyes but she quickly wripped them and continued to dig, the back and between her pants were stained and smelled, they already found five gems. "Why are you wearing a boys shirt?", a Pegasus girl asked. "W-Well, my shirt came off when a Hydra almost ate me, and I asked my friend if he can let me wear his shirt", she explained. "Oh", but before they could continued talking. "Less talking more digging little ponies!", Rover shouted, the kid's stopped talking and continued to dig in silence. Back outside, the guards finished fighting off and end up capturing one of the Dog's "Here's what's gonna happen, you are gonna lead us to the kid's or else we'll kill you right here and now." He gulped and nodded in understanding, then started leading the guard's in the tunnels, everypony was looking around. A female guard saw a disturbing sight in a room that had a passed out shirtless Pegasus child with blood on his body. "Rose, get that boy to Ponyville's Hospital now", the guard nodded before going in the said room. "Why was that boy passed out, what did you do to him?" "We punished him by whipping him five times.", a guard gave the Dog a disgusted look, he wanted to kill him so he wouldn't hurt anypony anymore. Shining caught this, "Hold it together Private, we need him.", the guard did his best to not do anything. Minutes later they entered the tunnel where they have the children, the kid's cheered that they're being rescued. Spot, Fido and Rover were angry about this, "Diamond Dog's, kill them and the kid's", then they lunged as the kid's became scared. "Protect the kid's!", Shining shouted before blasted the Dog's away, the guard's and the four teens started fighting them off. Seconds later, "Spike, get my daughter and the kid's back to town!", the Captain shouted while fighting three Dog's off at the same time. The unicorn teen nodded in understanding, "We'll come back to help out", then he started freeing the kid's by blasting the locks. Him and his friends started leading the kid's out the tunnel, Flurry Heart looked back at her fighting father with worry before following. Then she gasped, "What about Pound?", she asked. "A Guard already got him out of here", Button told her, then she continued to follow them. Back with Rose rushing back towards the town, she looked down at the boy in her arms before staring at the bloody whip marks. "Those animals...whipping a child.", she thought. After awhile she arrived at the town and quickly started heading towards the General Hospital, ponies saw this and started talking to each other wondering what happened. Among them were Mrs Cake and she followed the guard, as she got closer she reconized the boy seeing it was her son, "Pound!", she rushed towards them. Rose turned to her, "You know him?" "That's my son...what happened to him?", tears fell from her eyes seeing the condition he's in. "I'll tell you afterwards, first he needs medical attention", the continued to rush towards the Hospital. When they got inside, "We need a doctor now." Then one came running up to them along with two assistants pushing a stretcher, Rose carefully placed the boy on it and the doctors started rushing him to the E.R. "Ma'am, you're gonna have to wait in the waiting room", a Nurse told the earth pony mare as she nodded in understanding. "I'm gonna head back", then Guard left the building in a rush. Later Spike and the kid's made it back to town, adults saw them and some recognized them as son's, daughter's, little sister's and little brother's. They rushed towards them as the kid's did the same, they embrassed their loved one's who thought they were dead and to never to be seen again. Cadence rushed towards her daughter hugging her, "Where were you, why did you go, why did you leave with Pound", the little girl hugged back crying now. "W-We got chased by a Hydra mommy, then we ran in a cave to escape it, then we got captured by the dog creatures and they made us dig." Tears fell from her eye's, "Then I have to pee and they made me pee myself and started making fun of me calling me names", she continued to cry. "Then Pound tried defending me, and they took him away to beat him", she started thinking if the Pegasus boy was gonna be ok. Hour's later Twilight was pacing back and forth wondering why her big brother hasn't came back yet, suddenly he arrived. But he had a injured guard with him that he was carrying on his shoulders, it was Flash Sentry and he had a stab wound from his back. "The hell happened?", the lavender Princess asked following him to the Hospital. "He saved my life by taking a stab in the stomach, the Diamond Dog that tried to kill me is dead", the entered the building asking for a doctor. The lavender Princess became shocked that her brother almost died, but Flash sacrificed himself to save him, she became worried about him and hope he'll be alright.
