//------------------------------// // The fall of harmony // Story: The true form of harmony // by Frostbite4 //------------------------------// The fall of the elements "Sister is he ready for the challenges to come" a cloaked figure asked "No he is not ready, but he'll have to be because its only a matter of time till The Lord of darkness will awaken and corrupt the elements harmony and when that happens.... spike will have to be ready to resurrect the element of order and find who the wielder of the element will be to bring back order to harmony brcause without order nothing will ever truly be at harmony" another cloaked figure said while the two watched a purple teen dragon with green spines and ear fins, the dragon was about the same hight as a regular pony as he stood on his two legs. The dragon which was named spike was outside behind a tree that was a library punching a large punching bag that was hanging in the air, spike then side kicked it with his right foot making it fly up for a brief second and once it came down spike spun on his left foot as he brought his right down and as soon as he turned back around toward the bag that was just coming down he brought his right fist up as he spun and punched the bag with all his might making the bag break off of the metal rod that it hung on and making the beg go flying a few feet before smashing into the ground and slide a few feet digging a small trench into the ground. " *huff* I.... Didn't... Think..... I.... Had that...... Much in me" spike said in between gasps for air as he went to a small table turning up the music he had going on a small MP3 player which was a song by Macklemare, he then took a bottle of ice cold water he had sitting on the table as well and gulped it down in one swig and sat down on a loan chair leaning it back a bit so he faced the sky and had his legs elevated a bit on the other end of the long chair so he was half laying down, he then put on a pair of aviator sunglasses and closed his eyes putting his arms behind his head and sighed in comfort. "Now this is life, nice sunny day, no work, no pranks, and no letters to send or receive....... What could possibly go wrong" spike said with another sigh and fell asleep from the sun on his scales and the comfy chair and a few moments later he began lightly snoring. "Okay girls it looks like he's out cold, let's quickly get the library ready before he wakes up" a lavender alicorn whispered peaking over a fence to the libraries back yard where spike was sleeping. "Twilight are you sure about this plan, cause I think I can speak for pinkie, AJ, and myself that we don't want to get spike mad after we pull the prank, you saw what happened to the punching bag" a blue Pegasus with a rainbow mane named rainbow dash said looking over the fence at the trench and battered bag that had a small hole in it spilling some sand out of it. "Come on dashey are you a scaredy mare of little old spikey" pinkie said while nudging rainbow in side with a hoof and a small smile on her face. "I'm not scared of spike" rainbow said defensively flying up into the air a bit crossing her fronts hooves," well let's get a move on spike could wake at any moment" rainbow said before picking up an oversized bucket full of ice water and floating over spike waiting for the other girls to either go into the house or hide behind the fence with buckets of water. Rainbow looked at a window seeing twilight nod from inside signalling her to sump the water, as soon as the water dumped on spike he jolted awake flinging his sunglasses off and jumping,out of the chair heaving from the cold water as soon as he warmed up a bit two more buckets of water splashed on spike and he saw AJ, pinkie, and rainbow galloping away so he charged after them to get revenge. -1 hour later- "Dangnabit spike why did you have ta throw us all in dat cold lake" "Hey never wake a sleeping drake" spike answered in a mocking tone while smiling and opening the door to the library revealing the inside was pitch black even to a dragons enhanced vision. "Hey why are the lights ou-" "Surprise!!!!" The lights flicked on and revealing the library was filled with streamers and multiple other party decorations and a sign hanging from the ceiling with the words 'happy birthday' on it, coloured in purple and green, and half of the ponies of ponyville. Spike stood there shocked because he hasn't had a birthday since the incident years ago with the greed growth, Twilight could tell what he was thinking about and spoke up, "Well we wanted to give you a surprise birthday party for your 16th birthday....and because you haven't had or been to any kind of parties so here you are" Twilight said giving him a hug and walking off towards a group of ponies and began socializing, Spike looked around and smiled as he walked over to the punch table, picking up a cup and looking around feeling out of place around all the ponies socializing. "Hey spike.....how's it going" Rainbow said, walking up to him and picking up a cup of punch with one of her wings. "It's alright.....I guess...." Rainbow looked at spike with worry as she took a sip of her drink. "Spike.....if your lying to me you'll regret it" "And if I am what are you going to do about it" Spike asked smiling at her as she stared at him speechless. "It seems ta me that y'all got tongue tied there rainbow" Applejack commented as she walked over smiling at rainbows face as it turned red in embarrassment. "W-what ever...I'll see you guys later" rainbow flew off into the mass of ponies. "Well Spike Goodnight to y'all and happy birthday" Applejack said before leaving. To spike the party seemed like it took forever to end, but eventually it ended and after what felt like an eternity sleep finally claimed him as he fell asleep in his bed, not knowing what was to come the next day. -elsewhere- "Without order.......the elements shall fall to the grasp of the darkness" a dark figures voice boomed in a void of pure dark matter as six figures the shape of ponies formed from the void of dark matter and towards ponyville.
