 After defeating Molestia, Spike continued his travels through the Multiverse to find Legendary Spike's Soul Gem. Its basically a vital mission to find that soul gem, especially when he his involved. As he soared through the Multiverse, he began to wonder if he would ever find the Soul Gem. But he got this far already, he wasn't about to give up now. He spotted an exit portal and decided to head towards it. He began to say,

"If I see any sign of the Soul Gem, I better investigate. Otherwise, I could explore the locals of this Universe."

 After entering the exit portal, he appeared to be diving to the ground and used his wings to slow his landing. He looked around to check his surroundings until he noticed a bunch of earth golems heading towards him with an intent to kill. Seeing his adversaries, he focused all his energy to his core and unleashed a barrage of his four elemental abilities. The Golems that attacked him were backing off after they got hit by Spike's powers. Spike said as his adversaries were fleeing,

"Well, that was easy. Now to find out which universe I landed in."

It wasn't until he heard a familiar voice behind him, "You have arrived in the Dragon Equestria." 

He turned around and saw a white Dragoness with a pink and yellow underbelly. The strangest thing he saw was that the dragoness has a multi-colored flowing mane and tail tip. She had a bit of white horns on her head, but the mane is what shocked him. She had white and yellow wings that were closed up from his point of view. He wasn't believing his eyes when what he saw, sitting on a cliff is the dragoness version of Princess Celestia. The Dragoness introduced,

"I am Princess Celestia, co-ruler of Equestria and Goddess of the Sun."

Spike introduced, "My name is Spike the Dragon, Prince of Equestria, Guardian of the Soul Gems and Skylander."

The Dragoness said, "I know that you are not from around here because you appeared from that portal. But your powers are so......familiar, like I've seen another dragon perform those magical attacks before."

Spike asked, "What do you mean?"

Dragoness Celestia realized, "It was a vision.....that foretold of your arrival."

Spike replied, "Wow, I guess I've been appearing in a lot of visions these days." 

Dragoness Celestia said, "More than you think." The two dragons took off for the Capital City of Canterlot, which thankfully remains in Pony construction.

 When they arrived at Canterlot Castle, Spike had to ask,

"What is with the golems and why did they attack?"

Dragoness Celestia replied, "The Golems were mostly used for mining until one of our dragons brainwashed most of the Golems and lead incursions on Pony Villages. We can't jeopardize Pony/Dragon Relations unless those villages are protected. It seems like someone is deliberately attacking Pony villages to give the dragons a bad name."

Spike replied, "I can protect the villages. But where is the most endangered village?"

Dragoness Celestia said, "Ponyville. A Unicorn student of mine lives there. She sent me a letter saying about a spell gone wrong and her and her friends were turned into dragons."

Spike nodded, "I'll head for the Golden Oaks Library and find your student."

Dragoness Celestia replied, "Now I must look after Luna, she has laid a single egg and must protect it at all times."

Spike asked, "Before I go, what is important about the egg?"

Dragoness Celestia replied, "A Dragon Princess' duty is to look after her subjects, but also lay a single egg that would contain a princess' child. I've already went through that and my student hatched it on her examination. It lead to my son's birth.....your alternate self."

Spike asked, "So its Luna's turn."

The Dragoness nodded as Spike looked at the horizon, "I better hurry to Ponyville before it falls."

 As he took off from Canterlot, he was confused about the Pony/Dragon relations in this universe. But its how a universe works, so he just has to go with it just like the other universes, but he was now put into saving another universe. But, his primary objective is to head for the Golden Oaks and speak with the Dragoness Twilight Sparkle and help her and her friends in reversing the dragon spell on the six...unless the golems haven't gotten to them first. He also contacted his home universe,

"Mom, I've got a problem."

Princess Celestia asked, "What seems to be the problem?"

Spike spoke, "I seem to have ended up in a where Ponies and Dragons of Equestria got along, but you and Aunt Luna are Dragonesses just like half of this universe. But the other six are ponies turned into Dragonesses. They seemed to have a Golem problem because they went rogue. I need Prism Break to come to this universe."

Celestia replied, "We'll send Prism Break when you reach this universe's Ponyville."

Spike had to ask, "How did you know where I was going in this universe?"

Celestia described, "The Multiverse Portal shows an image of you talking with my Dragoness self. So it observes the traveler while the observers observe."

Spike smiled, "Thanks. Keep an eye on me. Tell Rarity, I love her." He turned his watch off as he continued his flight to Ponyville.

 As he arrived at Ponyville, a Multiverse Portal opened and Prism Break stepped out of the portal as he said,

"Spike, So we are going to assist the Mane 6 of this universe?"

Spike replied, "That's why I called you here, Prism." They were soon approached by a Purple Dragoness who sported a horn and leathery wings as she asked,

"Are you the dragon that was mentioned in the message?"

Spike noticed the Dragoness, "And you must be Twilight Sparkle of this universe."

Prism Break replied, "I recognize that intelligence from anywhere."

Dragoness Twilight asked as she motioned to Prism Break, "Is your friend going to be a problem?"

Spike replied, "If there is one Golem that wouldn't turn on us, its him."

Prism Break spoke, "Don't even think that I would turn on you. I wouldn't think about it." 

 As they reached the Golden Oaks Library, the Dragoness and the two Skylanders entered and inside the library was a Cyan and Rainbow colored Dragoness with feathered wings, a Yellow and Pink Dragoness with feathered wings, a White and Purple Dragoness with a horn and leathery wings, an Orange and Yellow Dragoness with leathery wings and a hat, and a Pink Dragoness with leathery wings and right in the middle was a baby dragon, Spike's alternate self.  The Dragoness Rainbow Dash noticed Prism Break,

"Twilight! There's a Golem right behind you!"

Prism Break said, "I'm not one of the others, I know my place and I am going to give those golems the beam."

Skylander Spike replied, "Same old Prism Break."

Dragoness Twilight introduced, "This is the Dragon sent by Princess Celestia to help us out with holding off the Golems. His name is Spike and he is known to be a powerful dragon in magic."

Skylander Spike asked, "You do realize that I'm from another universe, right?"

Dragoness Pinkie Pie popped near him, "REALLY, Another universe, do they have parties in your universe? Do I exist in that universe? Do they like parties?"

Dragoness Twilight said, "Pinkie Pie, now is not the time to talk about parties in his universe."

Skylander Spike facewinged, "I'll continue from here." He continued, "My Golem friend is called, Prism Break and he is known for using his laser beams and crystal shards to reflect it towards his enemies. I called him here to help us out in dealing with the Rogue Golem problem. In fact, we could use a little more help."

He powered up his watch and requested a few more Dragon Skylanders. Soon, multiple flashes of light hit the library and took the forms of a Crystal Dragoness, a Brown Dragon that can curl into a ball, and Blue and Yellow Dragon. Skylander Spike introduced,

"Meet Flashwing, Bash and Legendary Spyro. These are the most of the help that we can offer for now."

Dragoness Rarity looked at Flashwing, "A Crystal...Dragon?"

Flashwing spoke, "With a time to shine."

Bash said, "Lets Rock and Roll." 

 Prism Break and Bash decided to journey to a nearby mine to find the source and possibly the identity of the one responsible for the Golems' attack. Bash said to Prism Break, 

"I'll head for higher ground, you explore the mines."

After Bash went to higher ground, Prism Break journeyed deep into the mines as he found a strange sphere, curious by the sphere, Prism Break placed one of his diamond points on the sphere as it mysteriously opened and showed a dragon that was in a state of hibernation. He opened another one and this time, it showed a pony that was in the same state as the dragon was. He opened another sphere which was empty, that's when he realized,

"The Ponies and the Dragons are in danger!" He had to bring these spheres back to Ponyville, so Dragoness Twilight can examine it. But he caught the sight of a red glow near the spheres. He used his beams and fired a green beam at the glow which broke the rock which was covering a red ruby crystal, he carefully picked up the crystal in his diamond points as he looked at it cautiously until it began to move, separate into four and attach two points onto his arms. He thought,

"Is this a new power or is it something else?" He snapped out of his train of thought until he had three red ruby points on his arms. After that, he saw Bash dropping in as he rolled near him. Bash noticed,

"Whoa, you got through a major change." Prism Break's diamond points returned to normal as he said,

"Maybe later, but we have to get these two spheres back to Ponyville, the Ponies and the Dragons are in trouble." Bash looked in the spheres and realized,

"We got to get these two back to Ponyville."

Prism Break and Bash pushed the spheres out of the mine and drew all attention back to Ponyville only to see the Golems attacking the village. Prism Break asked,

"Remember that form I was in?"

Bash replied, "Time to bust it out."

Prism Break's crystal points formed into the same ruby points like last time and said,

"HYPER BEAM PRISM BREAK!!!!!" They got the two spheres to safety and charged to battle. 

 As the battle progressed, Spike and the other two Skylanders were holding them off. While Dragoness Twilight and her friends used their newfound powers against the invading golems. Dragoness Twilight said,

"There are so many of them!"

Legendary Spyro said, "Yeah, but who's counting?" Legendary Spyro whipped his tail at an enemy golem and used his fire breath at it. One Golem nearly pinned Flashwing by the wing, but it was hit by an airborne Bash who did a dodge ball attack on the golem. A red beam hit another golem as Hyper Beam Prism Break appeared as he made a crystal shard appeared as it redirected his red beam at another golem. 

Spike used his Earth Shot at a nearby golem and plowed it into a group of golems that made a sound that sounded like a bunch of bowling puns being knocked over. Bash did an air strike when he summoned a Rock Fist right beneath him, flew through the air and plowed onto a golem as it attempted to attack a nearby home.

After so many attacks, the golems finally retreated, Prism Break and Bash got the two spheres out of their safe area and brought them before their friends as Bash opened the one containing a pony, Bash said,

"These spheres are containment units suspending their occupants in hibernation."

Dragoness Twilight replied, "But this is a pony, what is in the other one?"

Prism Break opened the other sphere and revealed the dragon occupant inside, "The Dragons and Ponies are in great danger. If we don't find out about this containment, we will be seeing a lot more full spheres."

Skylander Spike nodded, "We have to find the one responsible for these Golem attacks. But first, we need to bring these two spheres to Dragoness Celestia's attention." 

 After carrying the spheres to Canterlot, they arrived at the castle only to find it in a state of panic. This got the five Skylanders, the Dragoness Mane-6 and the Alt.Spike at a disadvantage. That was when the baby dragon realized,

"If the castle is in a state of panic, then that means something terrible has happened."

He was right about that when the Dragoness Celestia came to them and said, "There has been an theft here. My sister's egg was stolen."

Dragoness Twilight was shocked, "But without the egg, then Luna won't have a hatchling!"

Skylander Spike stepped forward, "The egg might be important, but we bring really grave news." Prism Break and Bash opened the spheres as the Dragoness looked inside at the immobile occupants. Skylander Spike continued,

"These two were found by Prism Break and Bash as they were exploring the mines. We believe that the one responsible for turning the golems rogue, is using them to capture Ponies and Dragons and place them in these spheres that put them in a state of hibernation. We still don't know the reason for these spheres."  

Dragoness Celestia spoke, "There is a way to wake them up, but until you know how many of these spheres house an occupant, you need to focus on getting Luna's egg back."

Skylander Spike asked, "Did you get a glimpse of the thief before it got away?"

Dragoness Celestia replied, "It was a black shadow, that's all I saw. It made off with the egg as my sister slept."

Prism Break realized, "A Black Shadow sounds familiar."

Dragoness Rainbow Dash asked, "You mean you know who did it?"

Prism Break sprouted a crystal shard showing a similar black shadow, "All I know is, its possibly the King Sombra of this universe. If he continues rounding up Ponies and Dragons for those spheres, when he wakes them up, he might be seen as a fearless leader. As for the egg, the hatchling would see the tyrant as a father figure."

Bash asked, "Only a theory?"

Prism replied, "Only a theory I had."

Dragoness Celestia asked, "But do you know the location of his lair?"

Skylander Spike replied, "Bash and Prism Break already found it. Dragon Sombra's lair is in the mines."

Dragoness Celestia spoke, "Save Luna's egg and the Heart of Equestria."

Dragoness Twilight asked, "The Ponies and the Dragons?"

Skylander Spike spoke, "The heart is made up of the inhabitants. We better save them."

Legendary Spyro spoke, "Then lets go save them."

Skylander Spike nodded, "I'm setting the Portal-Trix for the mines where Bash and Prism Break found those spheres."

Prism Break pointed to Alt.Spike, "You are coming with us as well."

Alt.Spike replied, "I'll go with you guys."

Dragoness Celestia spoke, "Good Luck and May my light shine to your future." The Skylanders and Alt. Allies disappeared.
