//------------------------------// // Galgore Strikes // Story: Spike and the power of Spectrobes // by Sand Storm //------------------------------// "W-wait..d-do you mean princess?" Sweetie bell said shaking a bit. Celestia raised a brow at the filly question. "I mean what was that you were going to say?" She asked the three. The CMC and Spike glanced at each other before a loud roar echoed the room from outside. Rainbow dash looked out the window. Her mouth dropped to the floor at the sight. "I think whatever that made that sound brought some 'friends' along." Dash said still shocked at the scene she witnessing. Celestia thought for a moment before agreeing to put this conversion for later. She turned to Applejack and then Dash before speaking. "Rainbow Dash and Applejack." She spoke in a strain tone. "Yes, princess?" They said in unison. "Go out and help anypony in trouble and take them somewhere safe." She said to looking out the nearby window. "We can take them to the Apple barn." Applejack said while heading turns the door with the oni boxer metal gloves things. Rainbow Dash went with her with the hock thing. "Spike, As much as you would like to help please go to the farm and stay put. Please." His mother said to him worried. Spike nodded before he and the CMC went to the farm. When they took the back door, Celestia faced the rest. "Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie pie, and Fluttershy go out and help anypony in their homes and take them to Applejack's barn. "She said and with that they ran out the door but was not ready to see what was making that loud roar. "By the gods." "Celestia said to herself in fear. It appears as a massive bipedal, humanoid mass of slime or something with 4 limbs. It has a face with spreading yellow lines as its only features. It doesn't have hands but strange fused fists. On its 'hands' and shoulders were large spikes. "What in the name of all things good or evil is that?" Luna asked awed by its size and look. The rest were just as awed and scared as her. Quickly they shook themself out of fear before spreading out in pairs to help anypony they come across. (Spike's Pov) Spike and the other three ran towards the barn making sure that the Krawl hasn't gotten there first but lucky for them, no Krawl was around. Good, all they have to do is power up and fight the big krawl. Once they were inside the barn, they activated their suits. Spike raised his left arm up before his body was cover in a small particles mineralized around him forming his armored suit. Applebloom, Sweetie belle, and Scootaloo grabbed their wristband. Just like Spike, they were cover particles mineralized around, after that the four were in their battle suits. "Try not to die. I don't want to be a fossil again." Nagu said to Spike. "Thanks for the advice." He said while rolling his eyes. "Well you should try you very best to not get killed, it seen to happen a lot to people." Shakin said to Spike. "Thanks for that very thing I will not to do." Spike said at the fish sword. "This almost remind me a phase our old master told us." Said the third head. Spike like at him questionably. "And what would that be?" He asked wondering what it was. "I don't remember." He said tilting his to the right in deep thought, getting a groan from Spike. Spike could swear he could feel his body almost forcing itself to fall to the ground. "Spike what did they say?" Applebloom asked. "Be careful?" Spike lied to them. The three took the lie and watched as the three spectrobes turned to light. Spike looked at his left arm before activating it. Grilda , Jumper, Shakin and Nagu disappeared and then Zaza and Spika appeared in their place. The two looked at Spike and then at the fillies in confusion. "Whats going on?" Spika asked him pointing at the darken sky from the open barn doors. "Well is hard to say." Spike replied to the two. The two adult spectrobes stared at him very confused. "Well how bad is it?" Zaza said to Spike, raising her back left leg to stretched her ear. The three fillies giggled at the female wolf adorableness, Zaza stopped stretching once she heard the three giggling. "She looks so cute when she do that." Sweetie belle said. Zaza blushed before shaking the blush away. Spika snickered at her little cute act. Spike coughed to get their attention. "Anyway, we have a huge Krawl in ponyville. So we need to take it out before it could cause any colossal damage." Spike finished before opening the barn front doors. Spike turned back to the two beast and fillies. "Spika, and I will go to the town and help as much as we can. Making sure nopony get hurt badly and if they do need help them to the nearest way to this barn. Sweetie belle, Scootaloo, Applebloom, stay here with Zaza and make sure everypony is ." He ordered getting nods from before heading out. Spike was about to leave but open his prizmod and brought out Grilda , Jumper, Shakin and Nagu. "Alright, you four are going to stay here so Twilight and the others don't start to wonder where ya'll at." As Spike and his spectrobe partner raced to the now smoking town with the titian Krawl raising its arms and crushing them down to the ground causing an earthquake. They all felt the shock-wave from where they were at, Spike could guess that the cutie marks crusaders could feel it as well. Spike's brain soon went back to what that purple pony krawl hybrid said. "Why that breaded little mule." Said the purple pony thing said to herself. Spike stood there watching her mane flare up like a fire. She kept yelling and saying many words that would make Pinkie's mouth drop. She calm down before rubbing the bridge of her nose in annoyance. Spike looked at her confused to how she knows Starswirl. He thought for a second on what to say. "Ah? Miss? Who and what are you?" Spike asked her. The purple pony thing looked at him and her eyes were purple as well, but what was odd was that she is an Alicorn. The pony looked at him with a not so amused stare. Before he could react, the longest tendril of her mane wrapped itself around him. Spike began to panic as he was brought closer to her, she looked at him for a second before a creepy grin made its way on her muzzle. "Well I guess you could work." She said to him. Spike tried to break free but her mane tighten harder around his body making it hard to breath. Spike gasped as the air in his lungs were pushed out of him. The mare looked at him like he wasn't in any pain. "Now what was it you asked me?" She said with a playful grin. She tapped on her chin for a sec before making a fake surprised smile. "Hmmm~" She hummed still staring at Spike. Spike gulped behind speaking. "I asked what and who are you?" He said trying to not seem scared but the mare caught on. "Well to answer you question, I'm hybrid of a krawl and a human or in your terms a pony." She said smiling as Spike eyes widen. "What!? How!? Why!?" Spike could understand why would someone fused a pony or human (Whatever that is?) with those things. "I don't believe I've got your name. I'm Maja." She said to him, smiling creepily. "Spike." He replied. Her grip tighten around. Spike could breath only in short beats. "Well Spike, you seem to have something I need." She said with an evil grin. Spike shaken in fear as she walked closer to him. "And what I need is your blood" She said showing off her sharp teeth. A wave a fear went down his spine. Before she could do anything else Spike sucked in as much air as his lungs could before releasing it in a fiery burst. He shot the fire right in her shocked face. The moment the fire ball made contact with her, she yelped in pain as her grip around Spike loosing. Spike landed on the ground as Maja cursed while placing her hands on her face. Spike got worried for a second but before he could apologize she began to giggle before it turn to a full on laugh. She drops her hands from her face showing Spike no marks of burns or even a scratch. She laughed for a few seconds then looked at Spike. "Well I took you for a weakling but it seems you're more stronger than you look." She said before giving him a wave of her hand. "Time to play with the big boys now" She said before showing him her evil grin. She then disappeared as everything around him started to rumble. That was when he wake up. "I guess she meant that thing." Spike said to himself as he heard ponies run towards the barn with fillies and colts next to them. Spike watched as the titan krawl smash everything in its way. Every time it brought down its fits the ground would shake. "Breeze anything on this thing?" Spike asked her. "Well the only area you could hit it is its hands but its weak point is its head." She said to him. Spike looked at the thing as it stands in place. "Well at least it can't get worse." Spike said to himself. 'Hey wait...Where's Razor?' Spike asked himself. 'No time to think about it now. Probably at the library, hopes she not mad in missing the action.' Spike thought to himself. The two quickly got to Ponyville and everything is nearly on fire mostly because of the Krawl. Spike quickly thought of a plan before acting. "Okay, so attacking it's arms may cause to fall allowing us to attack it's head." he explained to Spika. Spike turned back to the titan Krawl but was slightly confused to see a rainbow moving all around it. The Krawl seems to be getting annoyed by the moving rainbow blur, Spike smiled as Dash made the Titan hit itself but it was short lived as it jumped in the air and body slammed to the ground. Causing a shock wave and any non-pegasus would be lifted off the ground. Spike heard some screams and noticed that Dash quickly went to safely carried them to the barn in seconds, Spike was lucky enough to be grabbed by Spika. "Thanks." Spike said to Spika. Spika smiled before patting Spike's head. "You're welcome." he said. Spika placed Spike down. "Wσυld yσυ likє тσ αcтivαтєd тнє ρlαรмα cαииσи?" Said a angelic voice to Spike. Spike looked around to where the voice came from but couldn't see where the voice came from. The two made their way to the ruined town where the Titan stood. Spike pulled out the Ice Geo from his pocket. "So what it this thing?" He asked Breeze. "It's name is Galgore, one of the most powerful and dangerous Krawl." Breeze explained. Spike's mind wondered how many more were there of these Titans. "So they're like gods to the smaller Krawl?" Spike replied. Breeze didn't say anything for a moment. "In a way, yes. Also dodge." She finally said. Spike was about to ask what she meant by that but something deep blue slammed against him. The purple creature laid flat on his chest. Spike shake the dizziness before looking at what hit him. He looked down and saw it was the night princess. "Luna?" Spike said looking at the Alicorn. Things weren't going so well as each magic spell made contact with their targets but those creature just took it like nothing. Not even the most strongest spell didn't work. Celestia and Luna had to combine their power to do the most damage but it only was short lived as more appeared. The sky was covered in a dark purple cloud the went for miles. Celestia tried to shot hole in the cloud to bring in some light on these things but the moment the hole was made it was quickly covered up. Luna on the other hand decided to take out the flying ones but even with her must bigger wings, the flying creatures were much faster even able to swiftly more around the air. Luna looked at around as these slime monsters attack ponies's home with no hesitation, her ear twitched as the sound of a crying foal was heard from a nearby house. Quickly making her way towards the house she was able to see the crying foal with it's parents knocked out against the wall. Rushing in she saw what have or who as attack the parents. "Thou show thyself, so thy can be punished!" Luna yelled at it. She watched as the creature slowly rubbed the foal's head calming it down before lifting it up from its crib. Luna was about to use a time freeze spell to stop it from hurting the child but what it did next stunned her. It started to hum a soft tone, Luna listened as the sound of foal's cries turned to low sores. "Yes, sleep little one." It said in a male voice. He place the foal back in it's crib before letting Luna see he's pointed teeth. He smiled in a sickening way as he stares at the foal. Something was moving in the shadows as he looked at the baby. Luna has had enough of standing and watching as this Stallion looks at the young child. Luna slowly walked closer to him as she more of what he looked like. A dark blue with spiky black mane with traces of blue, and he wears a cape. His mane seemed to be moving on its own. "To bad you won't live long enough to see you future." He said laughing like a mad clot. Luna quickly dashed towards him but something black headbutted her. Rubbing her head she was greeted by a giant, shadowy creature, its eyes were pure white. Luna quickly got up before it could do anything else. The moment she got a good distance she looked at the strange stallion. "What is thou doing to here?" She asked him. The Stallion didn't move nor heard her. "Your princess wants answer!" She yelled. The Stallion turned to look at her before walking closer into the little light for a nearby lamp. Luna noticed that his was all kinds of blue with a few black stripes, he seems to be an Earth pony. He looked at like she said something that angered him. "My loyalty is to Krux not some weak fat mule." He responded but before he could react the mare's fist came to contact with his face with godly force, he was thrown across the room and out the house leaving his shadowy friend with the enraged mare. She sharply turned the shadow thing and its expression was great fear. It disappeared before she could do anything to him. After it left Luna went to the foal to make sure it wasn't hurt. Lucky it was safe, she then teleported it and its parents out of the now burning home. (Meanwhile outside the burning house) The strange 'pony' was punched so hard that he crashed straight through three house before he slid across the ground leaving a trail of dirt and rubble. Few vortexes rushed to their master's side but was then absorbed by him. He got up from the ground and dusted himself. "Why that little-" He couldn't finish as his loyal shadow returned to him. 'Note to self: Remember to absorb that mule in the slowest and painfully way.' He said to himself. "What do you want?" He said still angry. The shadow didn't respond but tilted its head, the stallion rubbed the bridge of his nose as his had to deal with this. Before he could do anything else the same magical pegasus mare appeared right in front of him with her mane in a nightly blue fire same with her tail. "Why is thou attack my subjects?" She asked him. The stallion looked at her before bursting out laughing. Luna glared at him as he laughed at her question. "Thy has asked a question and went an answer!" She yelled at him. He stopped laughing and just stared at her with a wide smile showing of his pointy teeth. "To find a worthy vessel." He said to her still with that toothy grin. "To whom?" She asked raising her brow. The stallion looked at her before tilting his head. "My master." He said before raising his right arm and slamming it to the ground. Luna looked at him confused as to why he hit the ground but was soon punched in the face by a blue tendril with black strips. The force of the punch tossed her a few yards away and before she blacked out she crushed into somepony wearing a strange uniform. "Ow-what heck just hit him." Spike said rubbing the back of his head. "This." Spika said picking up a night blue horned pegasus. Spike got up and went for a closer look at the mare. "Wait a minute....Princess Luna?!!" Spike gasped as he stared at his aunt's limp body. He began to check her body check for any sign of injuries. Lucky for him, being an Alicorn she was very strong for taking any kind of damage. "Happy to know she not hurt in anyway." Spike said to himself. He then looked up at the sky and noticed that almost all of the krawl weren't doing any just standing there. "Why are they not attacking?" Spike said to himself. "Because they're not as smart as they seem, they need a powerful leader of their own kind or one with the same desire as theirs. And because they like are waiting for something to happen; they never seen your kind or these ponies before just human and a dead race*." Breeze stated to Spike. Before he could ask again a white hand placed itself on his left shoulder. Spike quickly turned to his left and was greeted but six mare and one tall godly mare. "Uh...Hi." He said to them. The seven stared at him before any could say a word, Spike was tackled by the pink mare. "Hi I'm name's Pinkie and those are may friends. Fluttershy, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Applejack, and Princess Celestia." Pinkie to him. Spike was about to question why she was introducing herself but the reflection in her eyes made it clear that he was wearing a helmet covering his face. 'I guess this can help in some ways.' Spike thought to himself. Breeze responded with a small a giggle. "Nice to meet all of you" He said so it wouldn't be weird that he's talking to himself. They just stood there. "I believe this is what you would call strange?" Breeze said to him. 'More like awkward.' Spike thought. "Hello." Spike said to them. Spike looked at Applejack as she had Oni boxer gloves on then to Dash as she had the hook thing in her right hand. "Something wrong?" He said to them. Twilight walked up to him and help lifting Luna off him. Spike forget she was there, Celestia helped Spike up. "May I asked why you're here with your....ah?" Celestia looked at the green beast. It looked back at her, staring at her with it's burning red eyes. Spike looked back at Spika as he stares at them not blinking. "Oh he's my friend, Spika. Don't worry he won't hurt you." Spike said to them as Spika waved happily at them. They waved back a bit taking back how calm he seems. "Any why did they stopped?" Dash asked looking up at the krawl that has stopped attacking. Spike shrugged in response. The krawl seem to not be making a single move towards them just standing and watching. Spike found this strange but couldn't have the time to think as a loud roar got his attention. "Waiting." Spike told them. "They could be waiting for?" Dash said confused. Spika looked up at the huge krawl as it stares at them. Spika growled at the krawl before looking back at the mares. Only a few of them glanced at him before looking away. Dash looked staring at Spika then her eyes ventured lower noticing his leg were pretty thin and questions how they could carry something his size, she then looked at his tail. It was a green ball with spikes on it, she then looked at the hook thing in her hand. It looked similar to his tail but before she could do anything the ground started to shake as the titan charged at them. They all quickly moved out of the way, but it was dashing too fast towards them. Spike was sweating through his helmet, hoping for some kind of way to stop its charge. Seconds before it could reach them, a large laser beam shot straight at the Titan's head. It was send a few feet to its side crushing into some houses. Spike looked towards the Everfree Forest, a cannon was pointed in their direction. "What was that?" Dash asked questioning the sudden fallen Titan. They all looked at the still down Titan, it didn't move nor got back up. Spike was about to ask Breeze if it was defeat but thought maybe it needed to burst to dust. They all looked around wonder if they creature were still around strangely enough none were around but the sky was still covered in that dark clouds. (Celestia's POV) "W-what is going on here?" Luna asked finally waking up. Celestia hugged her sister in joy, while Luna looked at her slightly confused. "Thank Faust you're okay." Tia assured herself be checking for any other injuries ob Luna. "Sister I'm fine, just a little pounding in the head." Luna stated before another rubble happened. The Titan got back up before anyone could think the Titan picked a large piece of the ground and tossed it at them. Celestia quickly brought up a her hand to summon a shield, a large yellow ring appeared around them. Before any of them could say a word, a gold dome appeared around them. The the piece of earth landed on the shield breaking apart but not making a creak on it. They sigh in relief before the young stallion stepped forward in front of the shield with his tall green beast friend. They stood near the edge of the shield staring at the Titan. "Mo-er...Princess Celestia can you open the shield." He asked her not even turning to look at her. Celestia thought that this Stallion was crazy if he was going to face that thing even with his beast friend. "Are you insane?! I'm not about to let you go out there and hurt yourself." She said with concern. "But then who will stop Galgore." He said pointing at the huge creature. Celestia was about to refuse but a few more large piece of earth crushed against the shield. Celestia sigh in defeat before allow a large enough hole for this pony to exit out of. "Just be careful, I may not be able to help but that doesn't mean I don't care for my subjects well being." She said before closing the hole. Twilight walked up close to her. "Princess Celestia, are you sure we can trust him?" She asked her. Celestia didn't say a word just stared off, wondering the same thing. (Spike's POV) 'Well this is just great, not even one day and the whole town is nearly destroyed.' Spike thought to himself. Spike watched as Galgore jumped right at them, Spike and Spika moved out of the way as it lands between them. Galgore turned towards Spike before raising its left arm and thrusted it at him, Spike jumps out of the way before the fist to contact. Spike quickly took the advances and strikes, Galgore roared in pain as it pulled its left arm back causing it to stand on it right arm. It tried to swap at Spike but Spika homed in it, doing a down slash with it's hooked tail. 'Wait...wasn't it a spiked ball?' Spike thought to himself. Galgore roared in pain before fall down stunned, it laid there with it's head. This was the perfect time to strike as it was down, Spike jabs his blades into the head of Galgore. Spika did the same, clawing or wiping his tail at Galgore's head. After a few stabs and jabs Galgore got up before jumped back getting some distances. Though it started to sway a bit, Spike guess it would last long to it's done for go. "Well at least it be easier to take down. " Spike said to himself but was short lived as the clouds began to be adsorbed into Galgore. Galgore started to grow larger as his body absorbed the dark clouds. Spike looked at as the Krawl expand in size, Twilight and the others had a very horrified looks. Galgore raised it's arms ready to smash the two but before his fists could make their mark. Spika pulled spike into his embrace shielding him, but before the fist came in contact Spike and Spika were shielded by a purple aura. Spike looked at the purple mare in front of him. "Twilight what are you doing here? It too dangerous." Spike told his friend. Twilight looked over her shoulder as she told to keep the shield up. "Dangerous? I'm not about to let a space monster come to my new home and hurt everypony here." Twilight said with a serious expression. Spike shake his head while smirking. "What about your friends? Won't they be worried?" He asked her as Galgore banged on the shield. "We may not have know each other very much but we trusted each other to the very end." Twilight said while putting more magic into the shield. "While if we survive this I show you my spaceship." Spike said to her smiling. Spika patted Spike back which to Spike's dismay. Twilight smiled before putting back her serious face on. "Well...that's gonna be a problem." Spike said to himself. Galgore gave out a low but loud roar in rage, shattering windows from miles around. "Hey breeze? Do you have any ideas." Spike asked his Geo friend. Breeze was silent for a moment before she spoke. "Release me." She told him. Spike looked at the ice colored item in his hand. "Are you sure?" He asked her. "Yes. Just tell Twilight to take down her spell and let me out." Breeze ordered. Spike could sure he heard her silently laugh darkly to herself. "Twilight, I need you to take down your shield." Spike told calmly. Twilight sharply looked at him over her shoulder with a shocked expression. (Twi's pov) Twilight couldn't believe this pony was asking her this. How can he defeat this thing for it clearly stronger than him. "ARE YOU CRAZY?!!! That thing could kill us. Can we wait till Celestia can get the Elements of Harmor-" Twilight was stopped when looked into his eyes. Though it was hard to see what color they were from the lens but she could see that his trusted her to believe him. It took her a sec to think before canceling the spell, the purple shield slowly began to disappear. "So what are you going to do?" Twilight asked him, the pony showed her the Geo in his hand. Twilight was able to get a good look at what was in his hand. A metal-platen discs with a jewel-like object in the middle. The encasing metal forms 6 points of a star on the disc, 2 of which are partially fused together. "What is it?" Twilight asked him. The pony nervously looked at her, smiling weakly. "Well... a very powerful Spectrobe." He said right as the shield was completely gone. Before Twilight could ask more he slowly raised his arm with this 'Spectrobe' in hand. (Third person pov) As Spike pointed it at the darken sky, a blinding light shot out of the Geo nearly blinding both him, Twilight, Spika covered their eyes. As the light dined, Spike felt his arm start to freeze. Wanting to let go, he did but not before a dragon shot out of it. "What the?" Spike said to himself. Twilight looked up in awe at the sight of the dragoness. She grow in size as she flew into the skies. She was now a massive ice blue dragon, with long, thin, icy claws and a long, frozen tail. Her icy claws were so long that it looked like the go on forever spread out and appearing similar to wings. Her eyes were a blazing crimson red color, they looked like a burning campfire with a wildfire to it. Her spikes from head to her shoulders were like a fin, starting small from her back to growing large and pointing straight up from her head. Large ice shards began to appear out of thin air, circling around her. Artezza The dragoness looked the titan before gaining a small smirk. Closing her eyes, she raised her arms spending all of the ice shards upwards before bring them down upon the Krawl. Twilight and Spike watched in awe as the Galgore was bombed by the shards. "Rarrrrtahhhhhhh!!!" It roared in pain. The two watched as a fog of dust and frost sweep all over the place. As the now chilly air cleared, the ice dragoness stood...er float in the same spot with her eyes closed looking very disappointed. "Would have thought it could stand that." She said in boredom. Opening her eyes and looking towards the two beings still there. Smiling motherly, she slowly floated down to them. "I well I guess, I've got some explaining to do,. Oh! And the name's Artezza." She said in her icy voice. Before of two speak, she let out a stream of icy fire in the sky, aiming at the dark cloud. The fire spread out, clearing the sky. The sun shined brightly like it was happy to see them all again. Twilight looked around noticing, the burning houses were no longer on fire. Signing in relief, she hugged the person right next to her. "Thanks." She said letting go. Spike blushed but kept calm. "You're welcome." He responded. A low cough was heard above them. Looking up, Artezza was staring down smiling. "It good to see you beings happy." She said before lowering down towards them. Artezza was skunking in size as she draw closer. When she was about seven feet, she stop skunking. She stared as the two before looking at Twilight. "It's best if we save this chat for later." She said in a serious tone. "What do you mean?" Twi asked. Artezza pointed towards the barn. "Your friends are in trouble." She said before her body began to return to her Geo. Spike held it out in front of her. "Good luck, Spectrobe Master." She smirked. Twilight and Spike watched as she faded before them, leaving nothing be a freeze air in her place. Twilight watched interest as the dragon disappeared. "What are you?" She asked him. Spike was about to answer till someone tapped his shoulder. Spike turned around Spika had a serious look. Before Spike could ask Spika pointed towards the barn. "No time for that, your friends are in trouble." Spike told her. Twilight looked at him confused. "But the big danger is gone what could be more-" she was interpreted as Spika grabbed her and face her towards to barn which surrounded by vortexes. "Great." She said disappointed. Spike walked over to her side. "Well lets get over there." Spike said smiling. Twilight looked back at him. "But how are you going to get there in time?" She said before he tipped his forehead. Blushing as she remembered that she can teleportation. "Alright. You might want to held your lunch, it hard to get used to." She said before casting the spell.
