 After Spike dealt with the Greedy Spike situation in the previous universe, he travelled through the Multiverse searching for a new portal to a new universe. He checked his Portaltrix and decided to take a portal to another Anthropomorphic Universe, he was hoping for a better reception than the previous one. He entered the portal and reappeared in a shower room.

 Spike had his wings spread and recognized the shower room from Canterlot Castle. He said to himself,

"Well, at least I landed in someplace familiar.....again. But the inhabitants are on the outside, and that's where I should be."

Spike felt the same empty feeling he had when felt his neck and realized, "My charm of Equestria's Dragon Prince, its gone again." The Portaltrix beeped again and sent a signal notifying the dragon that the charm has safely landed in this universe. But the reappearing of it in Canterlot Castle doesn't work in this universe, so he is just going to do it old school. He said,

"That was a relief, I thought I lost it in the Multiverse. But its somewhere in this universe." Just then, he heard a door open behind him, he went to his battle-stance and noticed an Anthro Princess Celestia with nothing but two towels on her. One on her head and another wrapped around her body. Spike exited his battle-stance as Anthro Celestia said,

"Umm...can I help you?

Spike said, "Look, I'm not supposed to be here, so I should be going."

Anthro Celestia asked, "Why are you leaving?"

Spike replied, "I lost something important and now I need to find it and get it back."

Anthro Celestia spoke, "But, who are you?"

Spike turned to her, "My name is Spike, Spike the Dragon." He set the teleportation device on the Portaltrix to transport him to any place in this universe and vanished.

 Spike reappeared in the middle of a city, he decided to follow the watch's directions to find his necklace.....again. Unaware to Spike, he was being watched by someone who saw him appear. She actually wrote a note,
"Dear Dreamy Dragon,
I admire your physical appearance and how you appear out of nowhere. But you have captured my heart and I want to meet you in person. Come to my hotel room# 1074 at 10:00pm.
Your Secret Admirer, Queen Chrysalis"

She gave it to a mail carrier and the mail carrier brought it to the Skylander. As he read it, he thought to himself,
"I need information on the whereabouts of my necklace, but if I go through with being her lover......Rarity will strangle me for it. But I better drop in tonight for information and information only."

That night, Spike went to room 1074 to meet with Queen Chrysalis, as he approached the door, he rehearsed what he was going to say, and it turned out pretty good. He opened the door and saw Chrysalis lying on her bed with a seductive look in her eyes, eating heart-shaped chocolates. Spike had a confused look in his eyes as Chrysalis said,

"Thank you for showing up, my lover." Spike said with his wings gesturing that he doesn't want to do anything, "Look, I'm not here to be seduced. I just came here for information and information only."

Chrysalis asked, "Why are you not here for fun?" Spike replied, "I have a marefriend back home. And I'm on a mission of my own."

Chrysalis asked, "What do you wish to know?" Spike placed his wings back to his sides, "Have you seen any sign of a strange charm necklace?"

Chrysalis replied, "I thought I saw something that has that description, at the beach earlier today."

Spike realized, "If you saw my necklace at the beach, then that's where I should go." He suddenly yawned, "Wow, so much travelling through the Multiverse and I forgot about the last time I slept." Chrysalis asked, "You are from another universe?"

Spike replied, "Yes, I am. But can I sleep here tonight and be on my way in the morning?"

Chrysalis said, "Okay, but I won't do you in your sleep." That night, Spike slept dog style on Chrysalis' bed while she slept under the covers. The next morning, Spike teleported to the beach, that Chrysalis was talking about.

 As he arrived, he noticed a bunch of shocked stares from the beach goers as he said,

"Nothing to see here, just return to what you are doing." Somehow the crowd listened to him as he began his search for his necklace. He saw the Anthro Trixie in her bikini, sunbathing, he saw the Anthro Alicorn Twilight, which he learned from the Portaltrix that Alicorn Twilight replaced Unicorn Twilight. Spike smiled as he decided to test out a new breath that Master Eon taught him,

"I better test the Separation Breath on Anthro Alicorn Twilight to have an Anthro Unicorn Twilight exist in this universe."

Spike took off for the trees and perched himself in a palm tree and noticed Anthro Alicorn Twilight directly beneath him. Spike focused his new power to his core and shot a purple and blue separation beam at Anthro Alicorn Twilight. Anthro Alicorn Twilight was jittering at the shock as the Anthro Twilight separated from Anthro Alicorn Twilight. It ended in a blast and Anthro Twilight was leaning against the palm tree, she was exactly like Anthro Alicorn Twilight swim suit and all, minus the wings. Spike said to himself,

"Yes, Separation Breath accomplished." He dropped from the palm tree and tapped a wing on Anthro Twilight's shoulder. She opened her eyes and asked,

"What happened? Who are you?" Spike replied, "My name is Spike and you were separated from your variant. You and your variant exist as two individuals now."

Anthro Twilight asked, "My Variant?"

Spike pointed a wing, "Anthro Alicorn Twilight was hit by my Separation breath and separated your soul from her, recreating you in your original self."

Anthro Alicorn Twilight heard their conversation, "So that shock that hit me, that was you?"

Spike turned to her, "It was the first time ever using this power. But it worked and there is now two of you, Variant and Original, Twilight and Alicorn Twilight."

Anthro Alicorn Twilight asked, "Which means with me around, my original is like....?" Spike finished, "When a Variant and Original exist separately, they tend to get along as siblings. So, you are sisters."

Anthro Alicorn Twilight looked at Anthro Twilight and held out her hand, "Let me help you up." Anthro Twilight took her hand as she was pulled onto her feet. Spike said, "You should be fine as long as you and your original look out for each other. But now, I need to continue on with my mission." Spike left the other area of the beach

 Spike landed a few meters away from the shore and noticed a sign, he read, 'Steam Room'

He thought, "Must be some sort of sauna for the beach goers, but to be on the safe side, I should check out the steam room if my necklace is around there."

He entered the steam room and noticed the vents that heat up the place, "Although Dragons are immune to high temperatures, this isn't a bad spot for target practice with the Ice Breath." So he had to use his Ice Breath to freeze the vents that compress the steam, he was sort of having fun until the door opened. He quickly made a mad dash to a hiding spot and saw the Anthro Luna with a bathrobe on. He heard her say,

"A nice time in the steam room should do nicely." As she sat down, she felt something could on her feet, she looked down and saw ice melting due to the heat of the steam, she wondered,

"Why would there be Ice in the steam room?" She almost got the feeling that she was being watch by someone or something. She didn't seem to noticed a purple and green shape sneak out of the steam room.

 As Spike managed to escape the steam room, he said, "That was close. I nearly thought that my mission would fail." 

Although he seemed shocked to see how messed up this universe is, he decided to use the Portaltrix to contact his home universe,

"Master Eon, I haven't found Legendary Spike's Soul Gem, but I'm in a weird universe trying to find my necklace."

Master Eon asked, "Do you require assistance, Spike?" 

Spike replied, "I'll let you know when I need help." Spike went to the nearby lounging areas of this resort and noticed a bathing area for some of the beach goers. He soon said, "Well, what's a resort without a bathing area? Not much a resort I'd say." 

He left the bathing area and went back to the beach in in search of his necklace and noticed the Anthro Celestia. She remembered,

"It's you, the dragon from the showers. Luna was not around, so do you mind rubbing sunscreen on my back?"

Spike was shocked at the moment, either because of Anthro Celestia's request or the fact that his Electricity element is acting up....well maybe both. Spike decided,

"It's just a simple 'rub sunscreen on back and forget' I better get this over with."  With his Elemental powers, he quickly rubbed sunscreen on Anthro Celestia's back and said,

"Well, that should be sufficient, your welcome in fact." He soon left the beach until his watch beeped, it was Princess Luna from his home universe. 

"Spike, we have sent a signal through your watch that could locate your necklace. Wait for a green beep and check it."

Spike replied, "No problem." After signing off, the watch beeped a green color which caused him to check it for the location of the necklace. When he saw the results, he said,

"Come on, I was in the bathing area before!" He soon put his reaction aside and journey to the bathing area.

 Upon arriving at the bathing area, he noticed that it was different than when he was last here. There were remains of swimsuits, women in particular. He realized as his eyes widen in fright,

"This isn't just a bathing area, its.....an Actual bathing area." He spoke to himself, "Oh no, don't give in, Spike or else Rarity with strangle you with her earth ability." He took a deep breath and progressed further following the signal to the necklace's landing point. When he reached the actual bathing pool area, he looked around and said,

"Well, no one is here." He moved towards the pool and checked his watch,

"Bingo, there it is. Its in the bathing pool. I better hope I don't.." An Anthro Cadance popped out of the pool, Spike covered his eyes with his right wing because of those....things on her upper chest. He moved to the other side of her and jumped doing a spin and ground-pounded into the pool. A few seconds later, he popped back out relieved that he found his necklace, but frightened that all of the mares that he encountered are in the bathing pool. He said,

"Don't get me wrong, I was just leaving." He placed the necklace on his neck and opened a portal, "My portal is here, goodbye Anthro Universe, hello someplace else."
