Once the fight was all over Spike and his Spcetrobes stood in place to see if any others will show but none did. Spike brushed off same of the Krawls' dust off him. It was a hard battle do to the Krawl having new members to join the fight. He turn to his Spcetrobe pals, they were more tired than Rainbow Dash feeling a sleep doing nothing. He walked over to help them in any way he can. When he reach them, the same orbs from before was all around them. The orbs spun around them than disappear. Spike didn't want to know why that happens but if it heals than who cares. He looked at them and notices they were breathing heavily. Spike had one idea to bring their spirits up.
"High five!" He yelled. Zara looked at her claws than back at Spike.
"I can't high five." She said sadly.
"But I can." Spikan said joyful high fived Spike, Spike felt some pain in his right hand but annoyed it. Zara stared straight at him angrily. Spike giggled abit and she stared at him next, Spike stop but smiled.
"Well lets head back to Ponyville." Spike said starting to walk and they followed but Spike had a strange feeling that he is being watch by three beings, not wanting to put more worry in his head and continued to walk the path. When they reach the opening of the forest, both Spcetrobes were surprise to see the town, it was dark but some houses were still lit.
"So this is Ponyville... It a lot small than I thought." Spikan looked around.
"You never been here nor did I tell you." Spike said.
"I'm not sure if we should be walking around here." Zara spoke. Spike stared at her with a questioning look.
"Do you really want everypony to panic and run around like crazy?" Zara scan the area. Spike walked forward thinking it was peaceful in Ponyville and within a second, another light shot out of device. Spike looked to where it landed and to see if any other ponies were active but there was none. He looked back to the ground where the light hit and to his surprise, it was a baby Spcetrobe. It looked like a baby hydra but with only three heads, one looked mad, the other looked like the big brother and the last one looked crazy. There were horns coming out of is blue body. He stared at them for a minute than one of the heads talked.
"Why are you staring at us? It there something wrong? " cried the middle head.
"No." Spike answered.
"Than what??!!!! Are you gay or something???!!!!" yelled the first head on Spike left.
"No, I'm not gay and please kept your voice down." Spike order. The last head turn to face Spike. His eyes were surprise at something or it just looks that way.
"Do I forget to eat or do I forget something or maybe I forgot how to move or maybe I'm just crazy in the head." said the last while the other to heads rolled their eyes.
"You’re not even able to move without us and you are Crazy in the head like always." the middle head stated. Spike just stood there watch and listening to the baby hydra heads fight about stuff. Then they stopped to look at Spike. He did not expect to see them look at him so quick. The middle head cleared its throat.
"You maybe wonder why we are here and how... Right?" He said.
Spike didn't answer do to it having three heads each one with a different personality. Spike looked up to see if the other two were still there but they were gone. Spike did not know which one to talk to about it.
"Can you tell me why you're here?" Spike asked the hydra. They looked at him than back at each other.
"Well you need to do is help us find fossil & minerals." said the first head.
"What is your name anyway?" Spike questioned.
"Our name is Grilda." They said in unison. Than out of nowhere a circle popped right under them and two colored lights poured out of the ground. Spike looked rounded puzzled than he stared at Grilda.
"What are you doing and how?" Spike's confused face stared at them. They only answered in unison.
"We can only do this as a child and this is how you find Fossils and Minerals." Spike walked over to one of the lights and before he could touch it, his Prizmod open.
He looked at it and notices it was a screen that showed a knife like creature fossil. Spike guess it was another Spcetrobe just fossil form. He began to touch the screen and then the ground shown the fossil in a crystal like case. A pen shown up above the screen. Spike grabbed it and began to touch the screen with the pen. He then looked at the fossil and notice the fossil was coming clear. Grilda stared at the fossil than at Spike. Once the fossil was clearer, it fell to the ground. Spike walked up to it and picked it up. When he did, he got a better look it. It was a knife, close to the size of a dog. The fossil soon mineralized into the Prizmod.
"I'll never understand on how that works." He thought to himself.
He began to do the same with the blue lights. There was one more fossil light and eight mineral light, since the yellow light meant fossil and blue light meant mineral. After mining for a few minutes, he gathers the minerals. Spike found them to be weird but didn't guess that these were normal gems. He had eight of them, each one with a different color. The first three was red and shaped like the moon, the second was two green shaped like a triangle, the third was two sky blue and shaped like a rectangle and the last was one dark purple and shaped like a star. The purple star mineral scared him because it had a dark feeling to it as if it was calling him to give in.
They mineralized too in his hands and again not wanting to know how it that works. After that Spike walked back to the tree library where he slept at now with this small Spectrobe he need to think on how to tell them this but not mention that he's a alien from ancient times, the ship he find in the Evefree, the Krawl and this Prizmod. He knew his mother and sister would do something to the Spectrobes and the fossil if they find any. Than his suit began to mineralize itself around Spike. Spike closed his eyes do to the suit glowing brightly. After a second the suit was now a hoodie. His looked around to see if the child Spectrobe was there and to his surprise the hydra was still by his side.
”Okay, tomorrow you’re going to tell me, what you are and the history of these Krawl things." Spike stated. Only two of the heads nodded but the last head was staring elsewhere. They reach the doors, which said. "Welcome to the Golden Oaks Library." It read.
Spike carefully opened it so it won't wake any pony in there. He walked in, closed the door quietly, and walks slowly along the pass out ponies. When he reaches the stairs, he stopped to stare at one of his sleeping friends. Her fur was a beauty bright orange with a silky blonde mane in a ponytail. She was sleeping peacefully in a sleeping bag with her cowboy hat over her face. He smiled at the sleeping mare. Spike walked up the stairs to his room, which was on the other side of Twilight’s. When he reach his room, he open the door and to find that everything in the room was still there. He is relieved that they doing go in his room remember that before he left they were playing Truth or Dare or TOD in Pinkie's way. Spike walked to his bed and fell face first not caring on takeoff the hoodie, Grilda jumped on the bed to sleep. Spike was about to tell him to get off but it was hard for two reasons. One; Spike was exhausted for what happen this night and two; Grilda looks so cute sleeping. He then closed his eye and enters his dream realm.
(Mane six POV)
Is morning time and the birds were singing and the wind's breeze curried the scent of flowers into every home in Ponyville. A couple of let me sleep a little longer moans were heard in the library. A purple unicorn was the first to wake up due to the sun's rise shinning on her face. She walked to the bathroom to brush her mane while her friends began to wake up to. One of course who always sleep and her rainbow mane was in a mess but it was hard to tell do to her tomboyish act. The rest waking too with messy manes. A white fur, purple maned unicorn mare magically fixed her mane while the rest fixed theirs'. Once the ponies finished they starch their arms and legs. A pink pony spoke first.
"What are we going to eat?" She asked hearing her stomach growl for food. They just shrugged.
"Maybe Spike could make us some breakfast. He makes them pretty good." The orange suggested.
"If he gets up than we could ask him." The purple mare said.
"Twilight, I don't want to sound rude but I didn't see him come back from his nightly walk. Did you see him, Rainbow Dash?" Said a yellow pony. The Rainbow mane pony shook her head as a no.
“Nope, Rarity? Pinkie?” She stared at them. They shook their heads.
"Fluttershy, didn't you and Applejack walk with Spike?" Twi muttered.
"We did but when we reach the Everfree forest. We told him not to go in alone but he said he'll be fine. Therefore, we thought he'll just go from the entrance to Zacora. I guess he went farther." Applejack explained.
Twilight was now worried that he might by lose there. She and they rest race up stair without a word, they ran to his room door. Twilight opened it slowly. She looked round and saw him on the bed sleeping. She was relieved that he was fine but looked one more time and notices a baby hydra sleeping next to him. She walked in with her right behind her, who were looking at the baby hydra too. When they get close to where they could pet him, they notice he was different from the ones they seen and in books plus it had only three heads. It looked so cute sleeping. Fluttershy was scared of dragons but not baby dragons and this makes her heart melt.
"He looks so cute sleeping." She commented. Rarity look away to see Spike sleeping next to the baby hydra. She noticed that he was wearing a hoodie that was white and neon. Rainbow Dash notice this too, she wonder how good she'll look in that hoodie.
"Rarity, can you make one for me. I might get some cool new ticks out of this." She said to her. Rarity looks at her than the hoodie.
"I don't know maybe if Spike lets me exams this than yes." She replied. Rainbow dash was now jumping joy hoping he'll say yes. Fluttershy picked the little hydra up and hugged him close to her chest than placed him back down.
"I think it would be a good idea to let them sleep." She said. They nodded and walked out and close the door quietly. They walked down and made whatever they can. Soon they heard feet steps and voices.
(Spike's room)
"Ow, my head hurts so much. What the heck did I do yesterday?" He asked himself. He then looked around and noticed the hydra.
"So that wasn't a dream." He stared at the now awake hydra. He told them to stay up here so that he's friends don't asked many questions but he'll have to tell them soon and the only thing he'll tell them that he found an egg and watch over it for a long time and last night was its hatching day. Spike walked down to see the gang playing Truth or Dare again. They turn to see him, they smile and waved to him.
"Howdy Spike, how are you doing?" She smiled at him. He smiles back at her.
"I'm doing fine, how are you?" He asked.
"We're doing fine, but we didn't see you come back last night. Where did ya go?" She questioned. Spike tried to think of a lie.
“I just walked farther in the Everfree forest." He replied.
They giggled abit and he didn't know what was funny but discard it as a girl thing. Spike walked to the kitchen, hearing them daring each other on weird and crazy things like drinking hot water spinning upside down. Spike baked himself some eggs and eats some gems he hid. Spike heard some movement upstairs and wonder what Grilda doing? He got up and walked pass the girls who were dressed as each other. Weird? When he reaches for the door, the movement stopped. The door open forcefully and stand right in fount of him was Grilda smiling.
“What in the world are you doing? Are you trying to get known?" He asked lowly so that Twilight won't ask whom he's talking to.
“We got tired of waiting, so we tried to open the door." The first head spoke.
“Plus, we heard someone talking." The middle head said.
“And that you walked down not taking off you hoodie." The last head smile. Spike rush to a mirror and mentally hitting himself for not taking it off before going down stairs. Now they might asked about it.
‘Wait, why didn't they ask about this? I walked down stairs and they saw my wear it. Maybe they didn't notice.' He said to himself.
“Maybe they did know but didn't want ask." said a female voice in his head. Spike looked around to see where it was coming from but only Grilda was there to be seen. Then he remembered the gems stones he found. He then grabs two gems stones from his pocket.
“Where have you been last night? I didn't hear you talk or anything.” He asked the two.
“We didn't want to get in the way." muttered the ice gem.
“Anyways... What are you names?" He spoke.
“Well my name's Artezna or Breeze." she replied.
“And my name is Shulla or Razor." she said. ‘So Artezna and Shulla. Those sound like guy names.' He thought to himself.
“So can you tell me what Spectrobes are?" He asked.
“The Spectrobes originated in the Nanairo galaxy, and spread across many star systems. However, as time passed, the Spectrobes became "extinct," becoming fossils located within the ground. They are the only things that can counteract the Krawl. They come in many different Properties, Forms, and sizes." Breeze began. “And what are Spectrobe masters?" He replied.
“Spectrobe Masters are people that are chosen by the Spectrobes themselves, and utilize the beasts in the use of protecting the universe. You have a bond with your Spectrobes." Razor answered.
“A bond? What do you mean?" Spike now guessing what they might say.
“A special bond between fossils and Spectrobe Masters. The creatures live with their master, fight alongside them, and when the master passes away, their Spectrobes fall back into a fossilized state until the next master comes along. They are passed down from master to master, like some ancient teaching. When a Spectrobe falls back into slumber, they sometimes take with them special memories and messages from their former master. When another Spectrobe Master comes in contract with the fossil, the Spectrobe can sometimes show them the memory through a flashback or sorts."* Breeze sadly said. ‘That's sounds so sad. I wonder who had this knife Spectrobe.’ Spike wonder. Then there was a knock on the door. Spike panicked and shoved Grilda behind him.
"Come in!" He cried. When the door open a yellow hand pulled out and pink mane popped out to. Spike guessed it was Fluttershy wonder why he up here for so long.
“Hum... Spike, can I meet you little friend." She smiles friendly.
“What friend?" He asked shaking. Fluttershy giggled abit.
“Spike, you don't have to hide him. We saw him sleeping next to you this morning. I just want to see him wake." She said softly. ‘Great, not even when I sleep they don't leave me alone.' He mentally slapped himself.
“So, can I meet him?" Shy softly asked. Spike thought to himself than he back to the side and showed Fluttershy. She jump in joy so much she looked like pinkie in her jumpy mood. Grilda stared at her than the three heads turn to face Spike with a questionable faces.
“Who is she?" the middle head asked.
“Maybe, she a friend of his, plus she really hot." the last head said dreamily. Spike and the other two heads stared at him.
“You're so weird." the first head rudely said. The last head didn't listen just stared at her happily. Fluttershy walked towards them.
“Look at you. You a new friend to Spike. You’re so cute!" She excitedly spoke. Shy pick him up and walked toward Spike, smiling.
“You don't mind if I show the girls." She asked hoping for a yes.
"Sure." He shrugged. Fluttershy smiled than walked down stairs while the first & middle head become confused but the last head was very happy.
“So, I'm guessing she a friend of yours. I have to say nice choice." she replied happily. Spike annoyed the last comment.
“Yes, she is my friend. Three/fourth of my friends are girls." He told them. They didn't say anything after that but Spike had one more question for them.
“How do I awaken Spectrobes?" He asked questionably.
“Go back to the air crafted and we'll show you." she now felt him shaking.
“Are you crazy? The last time I remembered there was a lot of Krawl in there!" He shouted.
“Well their gone now so you can use it as a base for awaking Spectrobes." she muttered. Spike walked down stairs to see how Grilda doing with do girls. To his surprise, they were petting him. Grilda was doing fine with them. Spike walked towards them smile joyfully. Twilight turn to face Spike.
“Spike, how long do you have him? I've never seen one like this before not even the books in the library says anything on him." She stared back at the Hydra who was being pet by Pinkie. While Dash smirked at the first head who did not seem to like being petted.
“I'll gave you credit Spike. Here I thought this Hydra might by a little babyish but this first head seen to more of a fighter than a player." She said.
“Thanks... I guess." Spike thanked.
“Did you give him a name or names?" Pinkie excitedly said.
“His name's Grilda." Spike said.
“That's a good name but maybe you can name the other two heads Spike." Twi suggested. Spike thought for a second but no other name comes to mind. Than Grilda started to move around the room looking for something.
“What's he doing?" Dash asked.
Spike shrugged than they looked at the hydra that was now hitting it heads on the ground. Fluttershy got worried on why he is doing that. Than the three heads pulled out three green minerals from the ground and handed it to Spike. Spike looked at them than back at the minerals.
“Why did you dig? I thought I only could.” Spike stared questionable. The gang stared at Spike as if he was crazy.
“Sugercube, why are ya talking to a baby that doesn’t know what ya're saying?" AJ questioned. Spike stared at them confused than a faked surprise face.
“Oh, I forget. Hehehe." He laughed nervously. Spike looked back at the minerals, noticed they were green, and shaped like rectangle. Rarity almost knocked Spike down by how fast she rushed him.
“Where in heavens did they find such a wonderful gems!" She was very excited. Spike looked at the minerals than handed one to her. She was surprise that he gave her this.
“But Spike your hydra found it first." She said looking at him. Spike just waved his hand.
“Don't worry, I'm pretty sure them don't mind." He told her.
“I do. We eat minerals." said the first head. Spike looked at one of the minerals than gave it them. They began to eat it, Spike noticed that the mineral sinking.
“Hay, how many types of minerals are there?" He asked so no pony can hear him.
“There are only three types. Coronium, Aurorium and Flashium." Razor explains to him. Spike than remembered the purple star.
“What about the purple mineral?" Spike asked them. They said nothing tell breeze spoke.
“These are Dark minerals used for Dark Spectrobes." she calmly said.
“Dark Spectrobes? They sound dangerous." Spike muttered.
“They are." was all Razor said.
Applejack noticed Spike talking to himself but didn't say anything. Spike pulled out the Dark star and stared at it. Feeling what power it held inside. This made me wonder more on these Dark Spectrobes maybe they could help and he can train them not to hurt other but only the Krawl. Grilda started to growl toward Spike. Spike looked confused so did the gang, but Rainbow dash and Rarity (mainly Rarity) notice what Grilda was growling at.
“Spike darling! Where did you find such a wonderful and super rare star gem?" Rarity excitedly spoke. Spike held the Dark star hard in his claw.
“Rarity, this gem and the one I gave you are minerals that only Grilda can eat and maybe others but I can't gave you or any pony this star." Spike told her calmly. Rarity hopes went down than Rainbow dash spoke asking why?
“This isn't a regular star. Is a Dark star it holds a dark power over whatever eats it. I don't know what makes it does to Dragons or Grilda but I don't want to find out till I find the one thing that can eat this without any effect." Spike explained.Twilight's eyes stared widely as she hears him. She used her magic to grab the mineral. It landed next to her.
“Spike, with your permission I would like to know why it holds a dark energy inside. I don't want any other pony using this as a weapon." She explained more on what she wanted to do with it. Spike just shrugged not wanting to have any dark feeling every time he touches it.
“Spike, tell her to be careful when messing with the Dark mineral. It can show them their dark side." Razor warned. Spike told what Razor told him. Twilight nodded. Spike walked to the door with Grilda next to him.
“I'll be back just gonna walk and show Grilda around." Spike told them.
“Spike before you leave, can you let Rarity look at your hoodie later. I would like to wear one like yours." Dash asked begging. Spike thought for a second than nodded. Dash jumped in the air in joy.
Fluttershy wanted to say something but she remembers she needed to feed the animals and other chores. Even the third head show that he didn't want to leave. Right at the moment, he closed the door. He black out but before he fell to the ground, he heard three voices and he knew whom they belong to.
“CUTIE MARK CURSHDER DRAGONNAPPERS!!!”
