//------------------------------// // Enter Spike Greymon // Story: Digimon Friendship is Magic // by Klonoahedgehog //------------------------------// "Oh i sleep't like a rock last night, oh my aching back" muttered Rarity, "Well that's what happens when you don't want to sleep on the cold, dirty floor" said Salamon. The Digidestined and the Digimon were walking along a cliffside road beside the a big forest Which is the path to Canterlot castle when Twilight said "Hey SpikeAgumon are you sure this path is safe? One of us could fall into that forest if were not careful." and SpikeAgumon replied "Don't worry Twi, this path is perfectly safe, Digimon go by here all the time, just trust me!" "Heh, felling a little chicken aren't we Twilight?" Twilight looked back and saw Rainbow mocking her with her arms crossed behind her neck, "I'm not scared!, i was just asking a question!" yelled Twilight. "Yeah sure" Said Rainbow in a sarcastic voice as she walked passed Twilight she said "She's so annoying." as Applejack walked by saying "Ya get used to it after a while." All Twilight did was pout as she started walking again only to hear a sound, it was a craking noise a part of the ground she was standing on broke apart as she was about to fall "Oh no!" she yelled, but before she could fall down Applejack caught her. "Don't worry, i got ya." She said, Twilight was just staring down that steep hill and gulped, SpikeAgumon walked over to Twilight and said "Are you okay?" "That....was a close one." said Twilight. "We better be more careful, that down there is the Everfree forest, I hear that people who fall in there have never come out to tell the tale." said Gaomon. "...Good to know, remind me to tell the Princess about putting some guard rails or something around here." Said Twilight, she then got up and dusted off some dirt of her clothes. As they keept walking along the path Pinkie put her hand on her stomach and she said "Boy i'm hungry, don't we have ANYTHING to eat?" Palmon just looked at her and said "But you ate all the apples off that tree earlier! How can you STILL be hungry?" Ehehehe! The Digimon all stopped for a moment and looked around as Elecmon said "Did you hear that?" And Rainbow looked over to him and asked "Hear what?" SpikeAgumon looked at the others and said with worry "It was like a witch laughing." "I didn't hear anything." Said Twilight Before anybody could react there was a violent scream coming from the forest yelling a familiar attack cry. PYROBLASTER!! They all jumped and looked beyond the cliff as a giant ball of flames was headed towards them at an alarming rate then suddenly.... BOOM! It hit the ground where Twilight and SpikeAgumon were standing on as it began to crumble away to nothing. "EEEK!" Twilight yelled as she was about to fall into the forest, SpikeAgumon grabbed her arm before she could fall. "Don't worry Twi! I got you!" He yelled. PYROBLASTER!! Was heard again, It hit the cliff one more time causing the ground to fall apart once more. "AHHHH!!" Yelled Twilight and SpikeAgumon in unison as they keep rolling down the hill. "Twilight!" "SpikeAgumon!" They all yelled as they disappeared into the abyss of tress. "We've got to help them!" Yelled Rainbow. "Wait we can't just rush into things like that! We don't even know what were up against!" Yelled Applejack. "Look even if we don't go into the forest we can still track them!" Said Elecmon. "Huh? We can?" They all said. "Of course! Just press the big button on there!" Said Palmon. They all pressed the buttons and noticed one was on the move and 5 others were clustered up. "So with this we can look for Twilight?" Asked Applejack. "Eeyup, just need to follow the glowing dot on there." Said Gaomon. "Right! Lets go!" said Pinkie with glee. ------------------------------- Meanwhile inside the Everfree forest Twilight and SpikeAgumon were being washed down stream. "Wwe've got....To get on dry land!" Yelled Twilight. "Look on the bright side, at least it can't get any worse!" Said SpikeAgumon. Just as he said that they began to hear a showering sound Twilight said. "What's that noise?" And SpikeAgumon looked over to where the noise was coming from and just said. "Uh oh" A Waterfall was closing in they both started to yell as it drew closer. "I guess this is it!" Twilight yelled nervously while SpikeAgumon looked around to find something to grab on. "Aha!" he yelled when he saw a rock lying on the river so he told Twilight "Grab on to the boulder!" So they then climbed on to the boulder to get to safe ground. "That...Was....Close" Twilight said all tired out then she just yelled. "WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT!?" "I'm not completely sure, but i think i have an idea." Said SpikeAgumon. "Huh?" Twilight replied back. "Well i recognize that attack when i see it, that was a Growlmon. Big virus type Digimon that love to spread chaos wherever they go." He said "Is there any way we can stop it?" Said Twilight. "Well if we were together maybe. But by myself? There's no way!" Said SpikeAgumon. Twilight notices that the Digivice starts beeping so she picks it up, she says to herself "Wow i'm suprised, the water didn't ruin this thing at all." she notices the 5 dots and says "Huh what's that?" "Those are the others! There looking for us!" Said SpikeAgumon all happy. "Well how about we meet them halfway?" Said Twilight. "I don't know Twilight, this forest is full of dangerous Digimon." Said SpikeAgumon. But when he looked Twilight was already walking into the woods. "Don't you ever listen!" He said. He went over to her as they both walked into the woods, the lights were both on the move. As they were walking along the woods they were hearing strange noises. "What's that noise?" Twilight asked. "It's hard to tell in this place." Said Spike Agumon. A growl like noise was getting closer and closer. "...Spike are you trying to mess with me?" Asked Twilight. "What i wouldn't do that! I can't even growl like that!" said SpikeAgumon. Then a few seconds later a giant red Dragon popped out of the tress, it roared at them as Twilight just yelled "WHAT IS THAT!?" "Twilight that's Growlmon! Run!" Yelled Spike Agumon. They both started to run as fast as they could and Growlmon followed, they ran as fast as they could through the tress of the forest. Growlmon then began to shot hi's Pyro blaster attack, they dodge hi's attacks with ease, he roared even harder and shot another Pyro Blaster, this one just by a bit it hit them. BOOM! Twilight fell to the ground and yelled "My Ankle!" SpikeAgumon turned around and yelled "Twilight no!" Growlmon got closer to Twilight and said "I have you now Element of Magic!" Twilight closed her eyes in fear but just then SpikeAgumon jumped in and yelled. PEPPER BREATH! He blinded Growlmon and grabbed Twilight he said "Are you okay?" "I....I think i hurt my ankle." She said. "It's okay! Just hop on! Before Growlmon's vision comes back!" Said Spike Agumon. Twilight just climbed on to Spike Agumon's back and he walk off leaving Growlmon to take the dust of hi's eyes. ------------------------------------------- "We got to get back to the others." Said Twilight as they were walking around the woods following the signals from the Digivice. "Don't you think we should rest for the Night? It is getting late." Said Spike Agumon. "No Spike! We can't afford to take a break! Not with that thing chasing us!" Yelled Twilight. They both felt a drop of water fall on them they looked up in the Sky and noticed that it started to rain. "We better find someplace to hide from the rain." Said Spike Agumon. "Yeah it looks like it's gonna fall really hard." Said Twilight. They looked around and saw a small cave. "That looks like a good spot." said Twilight. So they went inside to take a rest. Spike Agumon Put Twilight down and looked at her leg. "Wow that looks kinda painful." He said. "PAINFUL!? THIS HURTS LIKE HECK!!" Replied Twilight. "Hmm....I know!" Wondered SpikeAgumon. He started to walk out of the cave when Twilight asked. "Where you going?" And SpikeAgumon replied. "There are tons of Plants around here that are normally used for healing!" "Wait you can't go it's dangerous!" Said Twilight. "Trust me Twilight! I'll be back!" He said then he ran off into the woods. "Ugh how could he leave me like this?" Said Twilight. She looked out into the rain where SpikeAgumon's shadow disappeared. -------------------------------- Meanwhile the others were following Twilight's signal it was still far away to them, Fluttershy just asked "Shouldn't we stop? It's getting pretty late." "Are you crazy? Twilight's waiting for us, we can't just leave her behind!" Said Rarity. "Fluttershy's right, it is getting late." Said Apple Jack. "Besides she's still kinda far away." Said Gaomon. "But how are we going to stay dry?" Said Palmon. Suddenly Terriermon's ears extended themselves and he said. "I got you covered Fluttershy." "Uh thanks Terriermon." Said Fluttershy. "Over there!" Yelled Salamon pointing at the base of a tree with a hole in it. So the 10 of them went over to the tree and worried about Twilight and Spike. ----------------------------------------- The next morning she woke up with SpikeAgumon rubbing a white ish substance on her leg. "UGH! That stuff stings!" Said Twilight. "Sorry this is the quickest way for you're leg to heal, try standing up now." Said Spike Agumon. Twilight got up and realized that her leg was completely healed. "Wow! This is great! What is that stuff?" She yelled happilly jumping on one leg. "Just some plants i found growing in the bushes a little deeper in the forest." He said. She stopped and looked at her Digivice, then she grinned and said. "Look Spike There all gathered in one spot!" "Are you sure we shouldn't just wait here? That Growlmon could still be hunting us down...." Said SpikeAgumon. "Don't worry about it Spike! I'm sure you got rid of him!" Said Twilight. So then she started walking away, Spike all nervous thought to himself. "This is bad, i can feel it." So as they were walking along the path Twilight was looking at her Digivice looking through all the menus and pressing buttons then she said. "You know iv'e never had anything like this, this Digivice is really something. I didn't have anything like this back home, i was always locked up in my room reading." "Well i'm glad you like it Twilight! Celestia made those just for you six!" Said Spike. "Why us exactly?" Said Twilight. "Well.......Honestly i don't know, she never explains anything to us. It's kinda annoying sometimes." Said Spike Agumon. ------------------------------------------ As they keep walking along the forest path they begin to feel like there being watched. "Grrrrrrrr." "Do you hear that?" Said Twilight all nervous. "I know it wasn't my stomach that's for sure." Said Spike. "Stomp" they heard something getting closer to them. They were then jumped by Growlmon. "GRAAWWWL!" He said "Crud no!" Said Spike. They started running but to no avail the Growlmon could still keep up. "AUUGH!!" Yelled Twilight as she tripped. "Iv'e got to stop doing that." She muttered. Growlmon got closer he said. "Iv'e finally found you Magic." He was about to use hi's claws to finish her off but just then.... Not on my watch!. Yelled Spike as he jumped in right in the attack and got hi's back slashed a bit as he grabbed Twilight. "AUUGH!" He yelled. "There's no point in delaying the inevitable." Said Growlmon as he stomped towards the bushes they fell in. "Spike...You saved me. Why?" Said Twilight. "Do....I....Really.....Need.....A reason?" He said breathing heavily. Twilight looked at hi's back, it was all damaged and she got teary eyed. "I wish i could have done something...." She said as a tear fell out of her eye. Just then her Digivice started to shine with a familiar symbol on the screen. "Huh...?" She said as she looked at Spike, he started to glow! "Thanks for the help!" Said Spike. "Times up!" Said Growlmon as he prepared one last Pyroblaster. "Yeah...FOR YOU!" Said Spike as a tower of light appeared from the bushes. Spike Agumon Digivolve to! He said as he started to grow larger, about the size of Growlmon. Some blue stripes appeared on hi's body and hi's head hardened to the point that it looked like a skull. ...Spike Greymon! He yelled. "W, What happened to you!? This, this isn't possible!" Twilight asked. "Haven't you learned Twi? What's impossible in you're world is totally possible here!" He said. "I don't care what shape you turn into, i'm STILL gonna get rid of you!" Said Growlmon as he lifted hi's claw. "let's see about that!" Said Greymon. As he lifted hi's own claw. There blows clashed hurting each other, it was clear they were on equal footing now. "Get out of here Twilight!" He said trying to hold Growlmon in place. "No! I'm not gonna leave you behind!" Said Twilight. "Leave now! It's dangerous!" Said Greymon. But Growlmon breaks free and pushes him to the ground. DRAGON SLASH! He said. Before it could land Greymon grabbed the arm and yelled. NOVA BURST! And shot a huge ball of green flame at him. "AAUUGH!" Said Growlmon. As he went around dazed Greymon got up and yelled. NOVA CLAW!! And pushed him down. Meanwhile the noise from the impact was heard in the spot where the others were in. "WHAT WAS THAT!?" Yelled Rarity. The girls and there partners looked over to the woods as birds went flying. "What if Twilight is over there..." Said Fluttershy. "We've got to get over there!!" Yelled Rainbow. So they started running over to the spot they were fighting in. "Look if you don't get out of here you'r gonna get hurt!" Said Greymon. Twilight was amazed at the sight of the battle while Growlmon was getting up. "O, okay." She said as she got off hi's back and ran behind a boulder. Growlmon got up and used hi's Pyroblaster attack but Greymon just blocked it. Growlmon keeps shooting but to no avail as Greymon keepted blocking hi's attacks. Greymon just walked over with a serious look on hi"s face as he said. "You'r finished!" NOVA BURST!! He yelled as he shot a giant green fireball from hi's mouth. It completely covered Growlmon as he yelled. "NOOOOOO!!!!" With another Black shadow appeared from hi's body. It look like the shadow from Tortamon! Twilight though she was seeing things but she knew it was real. The others arrived as soon as they could. "What happened?" Said the Growlmon. Strangely he looked different, he was yellow now instead of red. Greymon just looked at him and asked. "Don't you remember? You tried to kill us!" "No, the last thing i remember was, drinking from the river but then a shadow appeared. It kinda looked like the Princess. After that i was knocked out." He said. "That's the thing that attacked us?" Said Applejack. "What are you waiting for? Finish him off!" Said Rainbow. "He can't, Growlmon doesn't mean any harm." Said Greymon. "Who's that?" Said Pinkie. "That's Spike" Said Twilight. Then they all yelled Spike!? "Can i go?" Said Data Growlmon. "Okay, don't get into trouble." Said Greymon. So the Data Growlmon walks away. "W, what happened to him?" Said Fluttershy. "He Digivolved." Said Terriermon as he climbed on her head. "So can you change back?" Said Twilight. Greymon shrugged and said. "I don't know." "What do you mean you don't know? Said Twilight. "Well..." Said Pinkie as she climbed hi's back. "We can ride him out of the woods!" she said. "Hey! That's not a bad idea!" Said Palmon. "Are you sure he's clean?" said Rarity. "Don't worry! I'm clean!" Said Greymon. So they all climbed on and Greymon started stomping along the path as they got out of the woods. Will they get to Celestia alive? Will Spike Agumon change back to normal?
