Spike, the most beloved and only baby dragon in Ponyville and Twilight Sparkle's number one assistant, was sound asleep, dreaming about his love, Rarity, along with chocolate and cotton candy. Spike was awoken by the smell of pancakes and followed the scent to the kitchen where Twilight Sparkle was indeed making pancakes.
Twilight noticed that Spike was up and just in time too, "Good morning Spike, you're just in time for breakfast."
Twilight had handed Spike his pancakes and served herself. Twilight was enjoying her breakfast, taking small bites while Spike stuffed his face, leaving him with a syrup mustache. This display made Twilight chuckle. Spike licked his delicious mustache clean off in one lick. Spike then went off doing his normal chores as Twilight continued her breakfast.
Spike had first dusted some books, but something pink mysteriously moved quickly into the basement, but Spike was too busy. Next came sweeping the floor, which would've been a breeze until a cyan colored blur flew past Spike and quickly headed for the basement, leaving Spike with fallen books and a whole bunch of dust. Spike groaned as he quickly took the books and re-shelved them, one by one, which took about 37 minutes or so. Then came the dishes, which were not that much. Spike washed all the plates with his tongue and placed them back in the drawers, but thus letting three more colored blurs, one white, one orange, and the last yellow, to enter the basement with the other two.
Spike then re-entered the living room of the library, with a more better broom, and swept the library and for extra measures he did it again, taking him almost an hour. Spike, now finished with chores, was bored and so made a miniature model of Ponyville with books. It was a marvelous sight, which made Spike zone out as images went through his head ... images of Japan and these creatures and fire and buildings collapsing and a mighty roar was heard sounding like a huge gate creaking open. This tempted Spike to go to his model and turn into a different shade of color, like if his scales turned over to reveal a gray coloring. Spike took his fist and smashed a building down, it felt easy... it felt good. Spike, now the color grey, was breaking his model one by one. When Twilight opened the door Spike snapped out of his trance turning back into his purple and green self again, all back to normal.
"Spike I need you to ... what are you doing?" asked Twilight, seeing Spike with a whole bunch of books all on the ground.
Spike didn't even knew what was happening either, "I ... I don't know. I'll clean it up though."
Spike then took the books and put them back to their correct spots on the shelves. Twilight was still curious, 'what was Spike doing with those books'? Spike came back to wonder what Twilight might need.
Twilight approached Spike and told him, "Spike, I need you to pick up three things for me, but you cannot look at them, they are for a special occasion."
Spike shook his head. Twilight then gave him a list for three things, but one was not really listed, it was a location.
Twilight saw the look on Spike's face when he read that part, "The location part should be last, ok Spike."
Spike nodded and left to retrieve the items in question. Twilight then whistled as soon as she was certain that Spike was gone and five figures emerged from the basement, each carrying a party supply. the figures were none other than Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and the party pony herself Pinkie Pie.
"Ok, we gotta set this up before Spike gets back or else it'll be ruined. Now Applejack I need you to-" started Twilight. She told her plan and everypony got to work.
Spike headed towards Zecora's hut in the Everfree forest, which was the scariest forest in Equestria. Spike looked at the list and back at the hut that was in his sights. Spike then came up to the door and knocked on it. Zecora answered the door and she looked tired looking.
"Whoa, what's going on Zecora, feeling under the weather?" asked Spike.
Zecora looked at Spike in confusion, "Oh hello Spike, I did not expect you here. I thought Twilight would see me, an ancient evil approaches I fear. Come in, come in, before it arrives. we must stop it before it takes more lives."
Spike didn't know what to say, he still had Twilight's chores, "I'm sorry Zecora, but I got a list from Twilight, but I'll go get her as soon as possible, besides I bet you need magic and I'm a dragon."
Zecora looked at Spike with a very serious face, "Do you want to end all life? I just need you to hold this knife. Then while I use the spell, you will give your blood inside the bell."
Zecora shoved Spike inside the hut and slammed the door. She then showed Spike the bell where he had to give his blood. Spike actually didn't want to do this, it sounded crazy to him.
Spike held the knife, "Uh, what evil is it? Changelings? Discord? Shadows?"
Zecora had forgot to mention the evil, "Ah yes, the evil at hand, it is actually a band."
"Huh?" Spike was now confused, "A band? you mean like a group of them?"
Zecora sighed, "Yes Spike, a group of beasts, but they are just the least. There is one that is the best in "the ring", he is the mightiest, the king. That is why we must stop them, before Equestria is gone, condemn."
Spike was thinking that Zecora might be a little sick and that it is affecting her mind, but he went with it. Spike took the knife and put it in position on the left arm as Zecora chanted. When it was time Spike cut himself, but by doing so it sent Spike images from before, Japan. It was different, a little more clearer, a dragon ... no, a monster was stood in Japan, destroying Japan. It was destroying everything with its blue fire, roaring as it wore an angry look. The creatures from before were running on two legs, away from the monstrosity.
"Spike?" asked a voice, but Spike ignored it.
"Spike." the voice said again, but more worried. Spike kept on ignoring until
"SPIKE!!!" the voice was more familiar, it almost sounded like
"Twilight?" Spike awokened, apparently in a hospital. Spike was confused, why was he in a hospital?
"Spike, are you ok? are you hurt? i was so worried, what were you doing?" Twilight asked about a million questions until Celestia came in.
"Calm down Twilight, let him breathe. I know you're worried and want to ask him a million questions, but he just woke up and who knows maybe it was traumatizing." Celestia tried to calm Twilight down, which worked.
Spike was a little fuzzy around the edges, but he indeed remembered, "Actually it wasn't traumatizing, I was helping Zecora and she needed a little bit of my blood so I gave it to her and then I guess I passed out."
Before anypony or dragon could say another word, a pink tornado of worriedness came swooping by and hugged Spike tight, "OhSpikeareyouok?Weweresoworried,areyoufine?ok?feelingbetter?" It was none other than Pinkie Pie.
Spike actually felt fine and didn't know why he WAS in a hospital instead in the library, it was only fainting ... probably.
Celestia saw this and tried to explain, "Spike, I know you're wondering why you're here. We weren't the ones who brought you here, it was Zecora. She feared that you might have been sincerely injured by a certain spell that you two did. She said something about you turning Grey and ... your ears were extremely small. You also roared a little bit like a monster that she feared, a monster that is ancient. Also, happy birthday Spike."
