Spike's Frontier

by dragonfan101


Interlude: Seeing The Truth

Twilight and the others had continued to watch them through their journey, they finally arrive at chaos Island and their eyes widen as they see multiple lasers firing at them.

"What are those things?!" Rainbow dash asked surprised.
"I think they're a type of defense line" Celestia said as she looked at them." They see that they both got shot down and they see the emeralds fly off once again.
"That's gotta be tedious." Ember said a little annoyed that they split off yet again.

They see things continue, but they look confused and Sonic when he was surprised, they then see why he was surprised and they're eyes widen as they see Spike's growth.

"No way.." Rarity said shocked.
"He looks like a late teen drake now..." Ember said shocked as they saw it.

They see them free tails and start to freak out once they see the Cyber energy overtake Sonic, the energy isn't as large as what Spike was showing but it was still a lot.
"He's absorbing to much..' Fluttershy said with worry
"I really hope Spike will be okay.." Thorax said worried for his friend.

" The chaos Emeralds are capable of many things. i think they may be adjusting your body to better suit their power." They hear Tails theorize and they look surprised at how smart they saw he was just from that alone.
"That could be true.." Luna said thinking it over.
"You and him would get along just fine Twilight" Celestia said as he saw him.
"Yeah, i think we would as well." Twilight said with a smile.

They see them looking at what Tails called and Environmental analyzer, but look surprised when they see it activate and see something that sent chills down all of them. They see the flashback of what looked like dozens of cannons firing at something in the sky, but look horrified when they see whatever they're firing at easily overpower them and the place is lit up in a light. They were terrified in seeing that.

"Nothing we've ever faced... is close to what that was..." Celestia said horrified.
"Not even Tirek or Discord was that strong.." Twilight said scarred.
"That thing sure packed a punch, it was on par with Dark Gaia easy!" Tails said surprised and they all look scarred at that name.
"Dark Gaia?" Luna asked as that sounded like that was something they should be concerned about.

Ember was having trouble processing this, her first friend, the one that gave her the title.. was possibly facing something even bigger then any threat within Equestrian history. Ember growled in anger as she saw what and they all noticed it.

"Ember are you okay?" Thorax asked.
"No! I'm not! Our friend is out there on those islands, possibly getting closer to facing something stronger then any of you all had faced! He could die or not be the same person we know him after this!" Ember said with worry. All of them looked surprised as she said that, but Twilight walked up to her.

"Ember, i know things look bad, but we need to trust him. he's come this far thanks to his will and friends, i know your worried for him, we all are. But we need to hold on and have hope for him." Twilight told her, and Ember was still unsure.
"What if something happens to him?" Ember asked still worried.
"With how far he's come both with us and with his new friend, i know he'll be fine. you just have to trust him as well, Ember took a deep breath and calmed down.
"Your right, he's done so much for us, i just hope things turn out okay" Ember said hopefully.
"I hope so to." Applejack said hopefully as well.

They see the rest of the journey through Chaos Island, from the third titan which scarred them again with how threatening it looked compared to the last, to gathering the Chaos Emeralds again, and to Spike and Tails talking about how they feel about them being sidelined.

"We all just were trying to keep him safe.. but i never thought about how he felt when we did.." Twilight said sadly.
"When this is done, we'll find him and give him the words he needs, tell him that he's strong enough now for his own things." Pinkie said with a smile and they nodded at that.
"Your right, and we'll tell him we look forward to hearing all about them when he gets back." Twilight said agreeing.

"I'm so glad to know that he'll be able to go on without us when he decides to, but i hope he will be okay.." Celestia said sadly.
"With what we've seen of him so far i'm sure he will." Luna said with confidence.

They see more of the journey again, this time they see the agonizingly long pinball part, and sigh in relief as it was done.
"There's something i'm never playing." Ember said annoyed and they all nodded in agreement.
"Agreed, i'm never gonna do something like that again." Sonic said annoyed as they left and they laughed at that.

They see the volcano erupt and reveal the titan was hiding within a crater and it looked extremely tough.
"I wish i was there to fight these things.." Ember said as she wanted some action as well.

"You said your body's been growing each time you used the chaos emeralds, what if it happens again?" Tails asked with worry, and they all agree with what he said worried as well.
"If that happens, i'll make the most of what i can," They hear Spike say and they accept that things will still be changing.

"His body will most likely change after the fight again." Fluttershy said with worry.
"I saw a vision where he grew larger then my father, it was all to face something big, i hope he finds a way to shrink back down to normal." Ember said hopefully, and they all look surprised as they said he looked taller then her father.

They see the start of the fight with Knight, they look one with awe as they see them dodge it's attacks, they see them eventually reach the last emeralds.
"Aw yeah here we go!" Rainbow dash said pumped.
"Wonder what they'll sing this time?" Pinkie asked exited, they see them become super once again. They hear rock and roll music play in the background as they got ready to fight.

"This has no right to go as hard as it is." Rainbow dash said bopping her head to the music with them doing it as well.
"Will the whole world know your name!!! When we dance with destiny!!!" Spike sang as he brought the beasts shield blade to itself.
"That was perfectly timed!" Ember said amazed as he did that.

They see the rest of the fight play out, they watch with awe as they use extremely fast speeds and knock it hard into the air.
"Looks like you got some competition Rainbow dash" Applejack teased.
"Oh it is on." Rainbow dash said with a smile as she was willing to race them in their super forms( Yeah good luck with that Rainbow).

They see as Spike grew a golden blade large enough to rival the Titans, and watch in complete amazement as he fights a duel with it.
"He's fighting that thing in a sword fight?!" Thorax asked shocked.
"This fight has no right, to go this hard in both music and presentation" Luna said amazed, they all nod in complete agreement.

"Now here we go it's the end of the show. Here them? They're calling your name.." Spike softly sang as he and Sonic sliced that thing up with them looking completely dumbfounded.
"Cause in the end, it's you and your friends. You'll find your flame.." They finished as the thing was destroyed.

"That was awesome." Rainbow dash said completely amazed. They look confused as they see the sword the titan had had started to shrink, but they look completely shocked as they see Spike take it up and it becomes something he can use now.

"He can use a sword now?!?" Twilight asked with her jaw dropped to the floor.
"I know who i'm gonna be with soon.." Ember thought quietly while blushing at that.
"Ember you okay?" Thorax asked, Ember then regained focus and shook her head.
"Yeah i'm fine, sorry." Ember apologized. They look confused for a moment but regain focus on the story.

The all watch on with shock as they see them go back to Kronos, they see towers larger then they're own castles rise up higher into the sky and activate. They watch with worry as they see sonic completely weak.
"The cyber energy must be catching on to him.." Luna said worried. They then look horrified as they see spike groan and fall onto his knees, they look shocked as they see his body glow, but he now grows even more. They look completely shocked at that.

"He's even taller then me now..." Ember said shocked as they see his new height.
" The final lock has been revealed, silence the 6 towers. Tear down the walls between dimensions." They hear the voice say.

"This is not a good idea.." Celestia said as she had a really bad feeling as well as all of them.
"Oh good, i thought you were gonna say there's a surprise titan" Sonic said as he was getting up.
"Something tells me there is.." Luna said worried

They watch on as they climb to the tower dodging and fighting through any enemy they came across, and they grind up on rails to the top.
"How does that not burn Spike's feet?" Fluttershy asked and they shook their heads as they don't know how either. But they see them shut down the first tower and they see Spike's vision of what looks like an emerald in a vault.

"Hopefully they're power will allow us to escape" An ancient said, they all look worried as it said that.
"Escape from what?" They all asked worried. They get they're answer when they see them shut down the next, they watch on with horror as they see a shadow loom over a planet and dozens of ships escape. They all look horrified as they see a laser cut through it and the planet explodes. They watch in complete horror and sadness as they see them lose their home.

"They lost their..." Fluttershy said with tears.
"What could be powerful enough to do that?" Celestia asked horrified. They continue to watch on with worry as Sonic was getting more corrupted really worried for him. they see Spike fly themselves to the next tower and shut it down.
"At least things will be quicker" Thorax said as he hoped they would stop things soon. They see the next vision of their ships flying through space, they then see the ships being pulled to what looks like Sonic's world. They hear them say that the emeralds are reacting to something and have lost control.
They see a final shot of a large emerald in a field of sorts.

"That must be the larger emerald that was in those cave drawings.." Twilight said with shock.
"How did it get there? No one could have just dropped something that powerful in a field for someone to find right?" Rainbow dash asked confused, they all were wondering the same thing.

They see them once again shut down the next tower and begin to see next vision.
"How are things going?" They hear a female voice ask and they look on with confusion. whoever this person was was someone they couldn't see properly.
"Who is that? She doesn't look to be like one of them.." Twilight asked confused.

"I don't know, but i have a weird feeling about her" Ember said as she felt something off. They see another Ancient come into the room up to them.
"Elder, madam you two are needed" It told them with worry and they look confused at that.
"Why what's wrong?" She asked worried
"What seems to be the problem?" The elder asked.

"It followed us here. this world is in danger. her child is in danger" It told them, they all look horrified as he said that.
"What?" She asked worried as things fade to black.

"it followed them there?" Celestia asked worried.
"She has a child?" Twilight asked confused. They continue to watch on getting even more worried as Sonic was on the verge of being consumed completely. They see them shut down the 5th one and see the next vision.

They see an emerald in a vault as the three figures watch on with awe.
"I really hope things work, i cannot allow myself to lose my home and my child." The figure said hopefully with them hoping as well.
" don't you worry. These chaos empowered Titans will be the key to victory this time" An engineer ancient told her as another one walked up.

"If not, it's been decided that a small group will bring the emeralds to the larger one we found, while we use their power to teleport her child somewhere safe and she guards the Cyberspace realm" It told them. They all look surprised as they said that.
"Teleport her child away, while she guards the Cyberspace?" Twilight asked, she then remembered something Sage said,
"Hold on a minute.." Twilight thought as she was trying to think things over.

They then see the next vision of what looks like an Egg surrounded by the emeralds, they fly around it and a bright light engulfs the place, they all look on with shock as they see the egg is gone.
"It is done.." An ancient said sadly.
"They transported her child away?" Thorax asked sadly
"Where did it go?" Fluttershy asked worried.

"I just hope it ended somewhere safe, it breaks my heart to have to do this" She said as she was near a portal, but they all look on with shock as they realize the figure. It was a dragon!
"No way..." Ember said horrified.
"Who.. is that?" Celestia asked completely shocked. They watch them tell her that they teleported the egg through time and space, and that when this threat is stopped, she will leave cyberspace and be able to find it.
"Where could it have... Wait a minute" Celestia thought as she remembered the egg she found in the forest.

"No way.." Celestia said completely horrified and they all look worried at that. They see the final moment this figure has with them.
"You have given us hope, that is all we could ask for, we thank you for what you have done" The elder told her
"I'm glad knowing it will all be okay one day" She said gladly, they look on with sadness as they see the portal start to activate.

"It will one day, thank you much... dear Angel" The ancient told her, they all look on with interest as they finally got her name.
"Angel.." Celestia said in awe.
"Your welcome, i promise i'll pull through, take care of yourselves" She said before she was engulfed by the portal and she disappeared into Cyberspace, all of them looking on with complete sadness.
"She had to leave her home.." Pinkie said with tears.
"What happened to her?" Ember asked sadly. They all were having trouble processing this. but what they saw next completely caught everyone off guard

They see a shot of the egg teleporting in a forest of somekind. and Twilight's eyes completely widen in horror as they all see what the egg looked like.. purple.. with darker purple spots... they then see the shadow of what looks like Celestia walk up to it and thing fade to black.

"That was... that was...." Twilight said completely horrified.
"That's why Spike's egg was alone..."Celestia said horrified as well..
"Spike's... not from Equestria.. he's not of Equestrian origin.." Twilight said as she was hyperventilating. The others could not believe what they saw.
"That was..." Rainbow dash said horrified.
"Spike's mother.." They all say at once completely horrified.
"How did i not see this sooner?!" Celestia asked herself wondering why she didn't think these ancients were involved in this in someway.

"Guys do you know what this means?" Ember asked.
"What?" They all asked.

"This means Spike's mother is older than anyone here. older then Celestia, possibly predating Equestria's own history!" Ember said as she was trying to process this.
"This means she's been in Cyberspace for far longer then any of us could have thought.." Celestia said with sadness as they thought it all over.

They didn't have that much time to process. as they saw Spike and Sonic shut down the last tower. They look on with complete horror as Sonic completely becomes corrupted.

They see Sonic's friends become whole and this Eggman they heard about and Sage come down. They see the conversation of what Spike told them, how he's not from the home he was raised. They all look more worried as they hear the loud voice again.

"Since time immemorial, i have languished here. The locks are broken, I shall tear down the walls between dimensions and consume all!!!" It shouted as they look horrified as they realized what they were helping all along. They see Spike growl heavily with anger as he looks to the sky.
"I will rip you apart piece by piece!! You are a monster that is a stain to this universe!!! I will show you the true meaning of pain!!!!" Spike shouted with pure anger surprising all of them.

"After all we just learned... it's understandable why he would say that." Ember said sadly as she knew now . They see Tails step up and tell them that they can bring Sonic back and they all looked shocked at that. They see Sonic's friends come together and tell him how much he means to them before they teleported away and they see the corruption leave Sonic. They look completely relieved as he returned to normal.
"Everyone. thank you.. i won't let you down" Sonic said with a smile with them all smiling as well.

"Okay, i think we can all agree that was solved way to fast" Spike said looking at Eggman and Sage
"I agree completely" Eggman said and they all laughed a little at that.

They then see Sage finally get the idea to have Sonic and Spike help them out and convince Eggman to let them help. and they see Eggman really doesn't want Sonic to help but he has no choice.

"Sonic, Spike, i hereby conduct you two into the Eggman Empire and order you to save us all, understand? This is not an alliance!" He told them and they chuckled at that.
"Whatever you say sir!" Spike said and they chuckled more.
"Whatever you say doctor Ego Man!" Sonic mocked and they laughed at that.

"Ouch!" Thorax said laughing.
"Sage, you will help me find the Chaos Emeralds, Sonic won't be fast enough, Spike has a far better chance then him probably"
"Hey Wow!" Sonic said offended.
"Burn!" Spike said laughing with all of them laughing at that.

"As you command!" Sage said happily, they see Eggman take off in his pod and they all look at eachother and see Spike look to the sky.
"This will all be over soon, and i'll find you mom, i promise" Spike said as he knows what he has to do.

Twilight and the others watched with worry as he said that.
"Does this mean that Spike's mother will be freed from Cyberspace when this monster is destroyed?" Fluttershy asked.
"Sounds like it, and when that happens, we'll all search for them and give them the welcome the ancients promised her" Celestia said with confidence.
"I know a great spot for them to stay in the dragon lands if they are willing to do so" Ember said with a smile. They all look at the vision as things continued to play out.
