Spike's Frontier

by dragonfan101


Interlude: Missing Friend And Ember's Vision

Equestria had been normal after the attack from Chrysalis, however in ponyville a certain princess was searching all over for her missing friend.

"Spike! Where are you?!" Twilight shouted hoping to find him.

Spike had been missing for 3 days now, it was a large concern after they found out he was missing. Twilight had tried to send letters to him hoping for a reply, but nothing had come back but a pile of ash.
Fluttershy and her animal friends have been searching every bit of the forests for him but they found nothing.
Rainbow dash had been flying all over equestria at high speeds, she even created some Sonic Rainboom's in the process.
Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie had been trying to help out as well but nothing was found.

They were all in the Twilight's castle with extremely worried faces.

"Anything?" Twilight asked hopefully, but they all shook their heads.
"I searched every forest with my animals but i couldn't find anything.." Fluttershy said sadly.
"I flew every inch of Equestria to find him but i didn't find a scale of him." Rainbow dash told her
"Me and the other girls turned the place upside down, literally but we couldn't find anything" Applejack told her and Twilight was getting more worried.

"Where could he be? I've tried sending him letters but nothing but ash has come back" Twilight said with worry.

"How is that possible? Those letters should be able to reach him anywhere?" Fluttershy asked worried.
"I don't know, but that's what make's me more afraid, what if he's in danger?" Twilight asked worried about what's happening with him.
"I don't know, but i hope he's okay.. Any word from Celestia and the other's?" Rarity asked.

"Celestia has been trying to find where the letters try to go, Luna has tried to enter his dreams to find where he is, Ember has been searching every last bit of the Dragon Lands, And Thorax is having his whole hive search for him" Twilight explained to them.

The doors suddenly were opened and they revealed to have Ember herself come into the castle.
"Ember! Have you found anything?!" twilight asked hoping she has.

Ember shook her head" I've searched every last part of the Dragon Lands, I even had some scouts try to find him, but we've found nothing" Ember said sadly.

"Even the Dragon's couldn't track him down.." Pinkie said sadly, Ember grew incredibly frustrated and punched the wall hard shaking the place.

"This doesn't make sense!! How could he just vanish like this?!" Ember asked with anger, Twilight came up to her to calm her down.
"I don't know Ember, but using our rage like that won't help." Twilight told her and she looked at her with worry.

"Then what can we do?! We've searched everywhere for him and can't find anything!!" Ember said really worried.
"I don't know, but we'll find a way." Twilight told her and they looked at the others.

"We all should take a little break, let's all just rest for a bit and continue our search, maybe we'll find something after a little bit of relaxing" Twilight suggested, even though it was hard for them to do so.

They all shook their heads in understanding" I just hope we find something soon" Fluttershy said with worry before they all started to leave.
"Thank you for trying to help find him Ember, I'll let you know immediately if we find something" Twilight told her before she walked up the stairs to her room.

Ember sighed sadly and started to fly off back home" Spike, what happened to you?" She asked herself as she made her way home.

It had taken a few hours to reach the lands but she eventually made it and landed on the ground and started to walk to her cave, she had noticed a few dragon scouts she sent out before.
"Anything on him?" Ember asked hopefully but they shook their heads.

"We did an entire rotation around the Lands, but we couldn't find the hatchling, i'm really sorry" A orange dragoness told her, and she sighed and started to walk away.
"Keep searching until you've found at least a clue." She ordered and they bowed in understanding, Ember proceeded to walk back home.

She came upon the entrance of her cave, nothing looked to be stolen from when she left, and she sighed sadly.
Ember walked to her treasure pile where the Scepter she had been given was in, she picked it up and looked at it sadly.

She remembered what Spike did for her, giving her the Scepter and giving her the Title of Dragon Lord in order to try to lead the kingdom to a better future, but without him.. she wasn't sure if she could do it. She started to form a few tears in her eyes as she remembered it.

"Spike, where are you? What happened to you?" Ember asked scarred, she hadn't had someone do something for her like what Spike did, she would never forget what he did for her ,and she wouldn't rest until she's fond him. " I'll find you Spike, hang in there" Ember said before she took the scepter and went to her room.

She walked into it and found the large bed she was given thanks to her status and other stuff in her room, she went to her bed and put the scepter right besides it, she looked up at the ceiling and closed her eyes.
"Where could you be..." Ember asked herself before falling asleep, while she was asleep the scepter started to glow brightly, its magic seemed to enter her head and we cut to her dreams.

Ember found herself in a strange black void and looked around confused.
"What is this place?" Ember asked as she looked around, suddenly the void began to shine brightly and the light blinded her, once the light died down she was more confused.
"What the...?" Ember asked as she found herself on a grassy field? She looked around and she saw someone and her eyes widened.

" SPIKE!!" Ember shouted and she ran over to his body, he was unconscious and was near a strange looking chair she never saw before.
"Spike! are you okay?!" She asked worried trying to grab his body, but her claws phased through him.
"What?" She asked shocked as she tried again, she then realized this may be something else, just then the chair started to glow and she backed up from him, just then a strange blue creature appeared right next to him and she looked confused.
"What kind of creature are you?" Ember asked looking at it as she had never seen its kind before.

Just then they both groaned and started to get up, she then watched the entire scene play out and the creature introduces himself.
"I'm Sonic, nice to meet you" Sonic said holding out his hand and Spike took it.
"Spike, nice to meet you two" Spike said a little nervous still.
"Sonic..." Ember repeated as she had to remember that name.

"Mortals" a strange voice spoke and Ember looked around ready to fight.
"Who's there?! Show yourself!" Ember shouted ready to defend him, but the voice only responded to Spike and Sonic.

"Find the Chaos Emeralds, Destroy the Titans, tear down the walls between dimensions" The voice told them and Ember looked a little concerned.
"Chaos Emeralds? Titans?" What's going on?" Ember asked still not understanding this, just then the place around her turned white again.
"What?" she asked and she then saw multiple flashes and heard voices.

"You two, leave immediately" A female voice said and she saw a strange red figure near a huge monster and Ember looked scarred as she never saw something like that,
She then saw Spike and Sonic absorb the Cyber energy and saw their hands turn red for a brief moment and she looked even more worried for him.

Another flash happened, this time she saw two creatures walk to each other as explosion's were around them, a large explosion came from them and she screamed as it came to her, the light then died down and she saw two small creatures on the ground lifeless.
"What have you gotten yourself into Spike?" Ember asked worried.

The light flashes again and this time she sees Spike and Sonic on the Titans head, and they have the Emeralds start to fly around them, a large light flashes and she covers her eyes again, when she opens them she has a look of amazement.

"Spike.." Ember said in awe as she saw his body had changed into his Super form, he then started to sing.

"I'm hanging onto the other side! I won't give up till the end of me!!" Spike sang as rock music started to play.
"Where is that music coming from?" Ember asked as she heard rock music playing.
"Go!" Sonic sang as they charged at the monster.

Ember watched in awe as she saw her friend, a child, take down a monster as large as her father, while singing one of the best songs she's ever heard. She saw Spike develop some new moves and looked even more amazed.

"Welcome to the mind of a different kind! We've been growing slowly, running from the past is a losing game it never brings you glory, been down this road before, already know the story" Spike finished as she saw them destroy the monster and she looked dumbfounded, not even she could do something like that.

"Spike.." Ember said amazed as she blushed a little, but shook it off as she regained focus.

"Looks like we can't save you until we've bopped all the big bots" Sonic told Amy.
"I'm feeling more like my old self it's working! Keep going and don't keep me waiting you two" Amy told her.
"We'll be back before you can do a fortune card reading! See ya!" Sonic said as they started to fly off to a desert like island.

She started to have multiple visions and groaned as she saw them.
"What is happening?!" Ember asked a little annoyed, she then heard a voice.

"Of my millions of simulations, there was one so remote and unlikely, i did not consider it. However it could be the one to save us all" a female voice spoke and Ember saw the figure from before in front of a strange looking moon.
'Who are you?" Ember asked, the area flashed again and this time she saw Spike and the pink creature called Amy tending to the weird wildlife.

"Do you know what happened to the Chaos Emeralds?" Amy asked as Spike looked at her and she blew away some cards and she saw the moon in the background.
"I don't know Amy, but they could be what we need.." Spike said with worry as they watch the cards fly away.
"What is that?" Ember asked scarred as she saw the large moon, another flash happened, this time she saw Spike and a red figure fighting off some strange machines.

"Sonic and Spike handled four islands in this mess! I'm not going down to just one!" A male voice says as he punches a machine.
"I'm not about to let my friends down! I'm with you Knuckles!" Spike said as he kicked another machine in the head.
" What is this place?" Ember asked still confused on what's happening. The area flashed once again

"Again?!" Ember asked annoyed, she then saw Spike and a two tailed fox in front of a container of somekind? The fox touches the container and a red energy is seen coming around him.
"Every time i interact with Cyberspace I'm becoming more corrupted.." The voice says weakly.
"Tails!" Spike's voice says with worry and he tries to help him.
"Cyberspace?" Ember askes curiously, she's never heard of it but it sounds familiar...

The area flashes again and she sees Spike alone on a cliff with the emeralds.
"Twilight and the others have had their time to shine.." Spike's voice is heard as he becomes Super Spike again, she can't stress enough how amazing he looks like that.
"Now it's my turn to shine!" Spike's voice declares as she sees another large monster this time with multiple arms with the moon watching over.
"Prove your worth Spike.." Ember said with a smile as she knows that's something her kind tends to do.

The area flashes again and this time she sees the four figures on a cliff of somekind.
"I know it's been rough, and things are confusing, but i need you to follow my lead" Sonic's voice is heard and Ember's eyes widen as she sees a large eye appear behind them.
"What??" Ember asks confused, the figure then rises and she sees a dragon with wings, larger then her father growling with anger.

"Spike?!" Ember asked confused, she then sees his eyes turn bright blue as a red and gold aura appears around him, she then turns around to see what they're looking at, she sees them staring at the large moon or at least she thinks it is.

"No time to lose." Sonic's voice is heard and she is left in shock as she saw it.

Her area became white again and her eyes snapped open and gasped as she stood up taking heavy breaths.
"What was that?" Ember asked shocked at what she just saw, she thought over what she saw, from Spike becoming larger then her father, to the people he was with, to Cyberspace, and the Chaos Emeralds.

"How did you get there Spike? How do i save you?" Ember asked herself worried on how to get to her friend

She looked at the scepter and saw it was glowing a little before it stopped and her eyes widened as she got an idea.
"That's it!" Ember said as she grabbed the scepter and started to get out of her cave, the sun had started to rise as she was asleep for the night, but she flew off anyway to Twilight's castle.
"Hang in there Spike, i'm coming for you" Ember said determined as she now had an idea of how to find him.
