A few weeks have passed since the welcome to Ponyville party. Things started to pick up again. The armor he had been making for Henry and Mr. Biggles was now complete. The special weapons he custom made and then enchanted, with the help of Princess Twilight, were also complete and he could now give those pony dwarves of his some real combat training. Well, as real as Fluttershy would allow with Henry and Mr. Biggles.
Several of the ponies were now also wearing new sets of armor. Now only a handful of the guards walked around without the armor.
Glarin had yet to get his new left hand. He was having trouble finding a doctor that would graft his finished product to the bones in his left forearm. But it was only a matter of time now, he had appealed to Princess Twilight and she said she would look into it for him.
Henry the Bear was wearing a fearsome looking horned helmet and gauntlets giving his paws bigger claws that looked far more combat worthy. Henry also wore a chain mail shirt, with steel plates covering areas that didn’t bend as much. Upon his back was something that looked like a saddle, except it was made of steel.
Mr. Biggles had an armor set up that looked like the Pegasi’s. Glarin even fashioned a pair of wing blades to go with his new claw gauntlets. He also had an attachment for his stinger, a shiny metal covering that extended the length of his stinger while still allowing him to inject venom if he so wished too. Mr Biggles had a helmet that was a thick mesh netting on the front, and a solid back with a crazy amount of spikes protruding from it. Yet the bottom of the helmet was open allowing him to eat, or attack with a bite.
Oh, Spatzi also started going to school in Ponyville.
Over the years Ponyville had gotten bigger and so did the school system, instead of just a single school house, they now had two. Younger children were taught by Miss. Cheerilee while the older kids were handled by the new teacher Ms. Alexia. A griffin that used to teach before the collapse of her home country.
Spatzi was a year too young for Ms. Alexia’s class and was placed in Ms. Cheerilee’s. Apparently she was pretty smart and only had minor behavior problems. Well, Glarin considered them minor, Ms. Cheerilee saw them as major problems.
Glarin considered it perfectly acceptable to beat up anyone that offends you or a friend. He also thinks having a short fuse is a positive thing. And he complemented Spatzi when he found out she knocked out some colts teeth.
Ms. Cheerilee does not like Glarin.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Mr Ungard, Can I have an allowance?” Glarin looked puzzled for a minute and stopped adjusting Mr. Biggles’ Helmet.
“Whats an allowance?”
“You know, like some spending money I get once a week!” Glarin thought for a minute again then raised his finger up as if he understood.
“Oh, so like a payday then! Alright hang on a second here...” Glarin fished inside of his pocket and pulled out a single bit. He then flipped it over in her direction. Spatzi caught it then gave Glarin a look of ‘really?’
“A single bit is all I get? I clean this whole place! I should get at least a bit per room!” Glarin thought about it again and realized she probably did do a lot, But he never saw her cleaning, and he was pretty sure no one ever saw her cleaning either.
“Alright, tell you what. For everyone that can say they saw you cleaning. I’ll give you a bit per room plus another bit for each person that saw you cleaning that room.” Spatzi went wide eyed.
“Really? You promise?!” Glarin nodded his head as he crossed his arms.
“I Promise, you have my word as a dwarf on that.” Spatzi got a big smile on her face as she thought of the amount of money she could get from this. Assuming someone could say they saw her cleaning the room in question. Some of the rooms she knew for sure she would get a handful of bits from, like the common rooms. Princess Celestia still hadn’t found a new place for all of those hens and mares from before...
“Well come on! Lets go!” Glarin patted Mr. Biggles on his helmet sending him away and began to follow her out of Mr. Biggles’ room and into the guards common room.
“I cleaned this room! And I’m sure most if not everyone saw me in here cleaning!” the guards that were lounging about inside looked over at Glarin and Spatzi.
“Alright, well thats only 1, can any of you louts vouch that Spatzi cleaned this room at all this week?” All of the guards nodded.
“Its kind of annoying, even when its mostly clean she still comes in and sweeps the floor.” Glarin nodded his head and looked at Spatzi.
“Alright then, thats 11 total. Any more rooms?” Spatzi nodded her head and lead Glarin out and into the next nearby room.
For the next 30 minutes Spatzi was leading Glarin around the entire underground complex and the more ponies they came across, the more they vouched for Spatzi saying that she did in fact clean the room with them in it, along with several others... Glarin was regretting the promise he made to pay her a bit per room plus a bit for everyone that saw her clean it. Apparently he was the only one that didn’t see her clean. Even Mr. Biggles and Henry vouched for her.
“Alright... that's 257 bits...” Glarin grumbled to himself as Spatzi was trying to think of any other rooms she had cleaned, but might of forgotten about.
“I think that's it... So can I get my money now!?” Glarin motioned for her to follow him. He would have to open up his treasury if he hoped to pay her the amount she wanted. He hoped it wouldn’t be this much every week.
After Glarin handed her a bag with the bits in it, she ran off. Apparently she had some shopping to do.
Glarin just looked at the sad state his treasury was in and sighed to himself. He would need another source of income. The amount of money he made from gem hunts with Spike and the bits he got from Princess Celestia were slowly dwindling down to nothing. If he could find his own source of iron he could save so much money, but the mine he had them working in didn’t turn up anything besides a few gems every once in awhile. Hopefully, once his mine reached the underground area of the Everfree forest they would turn up some valuable minerals. From the sound of it, that place has much-untapped potential as the ponies were much too scared to do much with it.
He closed the door to his treasury and went to go find Mr. Biggles and Henry. It was about time to put to use the custom made items he painstakingly helped craft for them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Glarin had gathered up all the guards in the Sparring room he had made. With some of the mares and hen's coming to watch what was going to happen. Spike was also present with his mares. Twilight had also come with Fluttershy, Twilight because she wanted to see how her enchants were going to be used and Fluttershy because she wanted to make sure Mr. Biggles and Henry were going to be ok. Two Doctors also stood on the sidelines, just in case.
“Alright, now that everyone is here we can start with the Beast sparring. I’ll go first to demonstrate what I expect from you. But first, Mr. Biggles and Henry need to equip their blunted armaments.” Glarin went over to the nearby weapons rack and pulled off a blue colored set of armaments and began to put them on Mr. Biggles and Henry. Fluttershy whispered over to Twilight.
“Twilight, those look magical, and what does he mean blunted.” Twilight just watched Glarin put them on Henry as she explained.
“Well, Glarin came to me and asked if I knew an enchantment to make it so a weapon wouldn’t cause damage when used in combat, a blunting spell. It only stops the actual damage from the weapon though, you will still feel the pressure and be pushed away if the attack is strong enough.” As Glarin finished putting the magicly blunted weapons on Henry, he walked to the other side of the room and began to equip his own set of blue weapons.
“And as for me, I am going to be using weapons that are completely harmless, thanks to the help of Princess Twilight over there.” Twilight just waved as everyone looked at her. One of the hens spoke up to ask Glarin a question.
“What makes them completely harmless?” Twilight took this chance to explain to everyone her part in all of this.
“It’s a few simple enchantments actually. First I placed a Blunting spell on them to reduce all the damage they would inflict to zero, then I also implemented a force nullifying spell, so whatever you hit with it won’t feel a thing, not even a push. Then I placed a third enchantment so that when a target is hit, a charge will be placed upon them that lasts for 15 minutes. Once 10 charges accumulate, The target is teleported outside of the ring. I also included a 4th enchantment to help you know how many times you’ve landed a hit.” As Twilight finished she looked over at Glarin who had on blue shoes with a blue cap over his stump. He also had a blue axe in his right hand with a blue bandana on his head.
“Every part of you that has the potential to be used as a weapon needs to be covered in one of the special made blue items. Once everything is set up, the Spar can begin.” Shift flew up into the air to get Glarins attention.
“If we get hit 10 times are we teleported out of the ring as well?” Glarin shook his head side to side.
“Nope, you will fight until you are unable to fight, or you win.” Shifty gulped as he slowly brought himself back to the ground.
Henry was standing in the center of the large sparring space that was neatly outlined with a bright purple line. He was met in the middle by Glarin. Glarin placed his right hand over his heart while holding the axe and bowed his head. Henry grunted in response, then stood upon his back legs, and made a challenging roar.
“Thats the Spirit! Have at you!” Glarin lowered himself into a stance and began his charge.
Henry brought both paws in a double swipe but missed as Glarin rolled to Henry's right side and landed an axe blow upon one of the steel plates. A loud Squeak was heard that caused everyone to pause in confusion and look at Twilight.
“What? You count the squeaks to see how many you’ve landed so far!” Twilight just looked around nervously before chuckling. Henry rolled his eyes with Glarin shaking his head, before going back at it.
Henry spun around and back pawed Glarin across his head. Glarin went with the blow and turned it into a roll to the left landing another axe strike in a spot between two of the plates and upon the chain shirt underneath, another Squeak was heard.
Henry was losing. He didn’t want to lose. Otherwise, he would look bad in front of Fluttershy and his new friends the manticore and Spatzi. It was time to wake up and step up. Besides, he wouldn’t be able to seriously hurt Glarin, his new owner, with the magic weapons right?
Henry turned to face Glarin and roared as he attempted to land a double swipe again. Glarin ducked under both strikes and jumped head first into Henry’s gut for a headbutt.
The steel plates made it a bad decision and Glarin ended up injuring himself more. Henry followed up by falling forward and landed on top of Glarin. Crushing him under his weight, once Henry was satisfied he rolled off and stood on his four legs. Glarin stood up and shook his head.
“Ok, that was a bad move on my part...” Glarin got back into a lowered stance again and charged.
Henry side stepped to Glarins left and let loose a paw strike on his left side. With no weapon on his left side, Glarin should have avoided it instead of try to parry. Glarin’s left arm was thrown violently back with his shoulder making a loud popping noise as his arm flung around and behind him.
Glarin in turn landed a quick axe strike on Henry’s paw as he jumped back with his left arm dangling.
Henry in the heat of the moment charged at Glarin and tackled him before pummeling him into the dirt for a moment with his front paws, then finished by landing a double strike, flinging Glarin outside of the ring and into a weapon rack filled with regular unblunted weapons.
Glarin made a light groan sound as he stood up from the mess.
He was cut in several areas on his back with a visible bump protruding where there should be none on his shoulder. Glarin dropped his axe and put his right hand over the bump and looked at it.
“Ah, seems like you’ve gone and dislocated my shoulder...” Glarin continued to inspect for a moment as Twilight and the doctors stood up.
“Let me have a look at that...” Glarin waved his right hand at them and waved them off.
“No need.” Glarin grabbed his left arm above his elbow joint and then contorted his face as he placed his stump upon the floor. With a savage grunt Glarin pulled his left arm out, turned his body so his left shoulder faced the ground and then pushed his upper body onto his left arm. With another loud pop Glarin stood back up and began to move his left arm.
“There we go, good as new.” Glarin picked the axe up and got into a ready stance as he faced Henry.
Henry made a low moaning whine sound as Glarin stood ready to fight.
“Well? What are ya waiting for Henry? Lets get started again!” Glarin rushed in with a charge to which Henry responded with a paw strike.
This time Glarin didn’t dodge. Instead, he watched as the paw strike slowed down until it was nothing more than a soft pat on his face. Henry gave that same low moaning whine sound. Henry then brought up his left paw and did the same, slowing down before impact until it was nothing more than a soft pat. Henry then started making a more upbeat moaning sound as he continued to pat Glarin.
Glarin stood there as his knuckles turned white and the veins on his head and neck were visible for everyone to see. As Henry came in with another pat attack, Glarin knocked it out of the way and head butted Henry after shoving his blue headband out of the way. Even with his helmet Henry became dazed and fumbled back. Glarin then came with an axe on top of Henry’s head. Twilights enchantments did their job and Henry felt nothing, but he did see the anger on Glarins face.
“How Dare You Show ME Mercy! I Am Not Some... Some Frail Childs Toy!” Glarin dropped his axe again and gripped his left arm above the elbow again.
“Do Not Pity Me! I AM A WARRIOR!” Glarin pulled on his left arm with a sucking pop sound echoing inside the room.
Rage activated.
“AND I WILL BE TREATED AS SUCH!” Glarin lowered into his charge stance, picked up his axe and bolted off all at same time. Henry made the low moan whine again as Glarin ran at him.
Henry didn’t defend as an axe blow came at his head. When Glarin saw that he didn’t even defend, it pissed him off even more.
He tossed the axe aside and grabbed Henry by his left paw and began to swing him around. After he gained enough momentum Glarin let loose and Henry flew across the ring and landed on the weapon rack filled with blunted weapons.
“YOU WILL NOT BELITTLE ME AGAIN BEAST!” Henry stood back and looked at Glarin. He didn’t want to hurt him, but he didn’t want to make him mad either. So perhaps, hurting him would be ok if it made him happy.
Dwarves are strange Henry thought to himself as he stood on his hind legs, and gave out a challenging roar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A few minutes before...
Fluttershy watched in horror as Glarins axe went straight into Henry’s side on one of the steel plates. But instead of hearing the loud scary bang when metal hits metal. She heard a squeak, like the squeak from a rubber bath ducky.
When she opened her eyes Fluttershy saw that everyone was looking at Twilight.
“What? You count the squeaks to see how many you’ve landed so far!” Twilight began to blush as she tried to fade away and out of everyones sight. Fluttershy was relieved to see that Henry was ok. And the scary noise of fighting was replaced with the cutest rubber ducky sound.
She watched with both eyes open and only one covered this time. She saw how Henry hit Glarin in the head with the back of his paw, only to have Glarin turn it into a tumble and land another squeak.
Fluttershy watched as Henry looked at her then over to Spatzi and Mr. Biggles. Henry’s face changed into one she had never seen before.
He looked angry. Sure the face he makes when roaring looks angry, but it's not... his eyes still have the soft look to them. His soft look was replaced with a piercing stare. Was Henry going to be serious now?
Fluttershy saw Henry do a double swipe again, but something seemed different about it this time. She couldn't quite figure it out. She then saw Glarin headbutt Henry in the chest only to daze himself. Henry followed up by falling down on top of him. Henry wiggled around for about 2 seconds then stood back up and jumped back. Giving Glarin plenty of space.
Glarin stood up and shook his head. Muttering something to himself before getting into a low stance again and charging.
Henry made a quick side jump and swiped at Glarins left side. Thats when Fluttershy noticed the difference. From the beginning when Fluttershy first met Henry, he was always holding back. He was always such a kindhearted bear. He only ate fish, honey, and some vegetables. Not including the tea and biscuits they would share at times.
When he held back the muscle in his body looked like loose fat that wiggles when he moves. But the strike going toward Glarins left side wasn’t covered with a shaggy fur that seemed to hang loosely on him. Instead, it looked to be form fitting and bulky.
Henry wasn’t holding back anymore. And it was confirmed the moment she saw Glarins arm make a violent popping sound as it flew behind him. Henry didn’t seem to notice and tackled him after Glarin made a retreating attack. After Henry tackled him to the ground he brought both of his front paws up and started to bring them down on top of him. That was the last thing Fluttershy saw before she closed her eyes.
The next thing she heard was something landing nearby with the sounds of metal hitting the floor and stone crumbling. She opened her eyes to see Glarin laying in a heap among a bunch of shiny steel grey weapons... Real weapons with sharp edges.
Fluttershy squeaked as she saw Glarin mutter something about his shoulder. She peeked through her hooves and saw that his shirt had holes and fresh blood on it. His left arm was also dangling loosely next to him. The moment Twilight and the doctors went up to go help him she looked over at Henry.
Henry just looked at Glarin as he stood up with his left arm dangling at his side, he was bleeding.
And it was all Henrys fault.
Henry put his face into his paws as he began to rock back N forth. Fluttershy watched as Henrys face went from one of confusion, then into panic and worry mode. He took his face out of his paws and looked over at Glarin. Only to make a low whine noise and go back to holding his head.
Henry was horribly distraught about what he did. Fluttershy and Henry were too distracted to notice that Glarin fixed his arm and was ready to fight again. They just assumed Twilight had fixed it for him.
“Well? What are ya waiting for Henry? Lets get started again!” Glarin charged only to receive a half-hearted paw strike. The muscles in his arm were far too relaxed and the speed of the strike compared to before was also painfully obvious.
Glarin didn’t bother dodging as he saw the slow attack pat him on the face. Fluttershy watched as Henry continued to slowly send out attacks while making the low whine noise.
Henry was apologizing and didn’t want to hurt him anymore. Fluttershy was about to speak up and end the fight when Glarin smacked the last paw strike out of his face and yelled at Henry
“How Dare You Show ME Mercy! I Am Not Some... Some Frail Childs Toy!” Fluttershy watched as he gripped the arm that was dangling just moments before.
“Do Not Pity Me! I AM A WARRIOR!” Fluttershy watched in horror as he dislocated his own shoulder and raised his head up to yell into the air.
“AND I WILL BE TREATED AS SUCH!” Henry only made the low whine sound again as Glarin charged at him again, axe at the ready.
Henry didn’t defend as an axe blow came at his head. Fluttershy saw how Glarins seemed to get even angry when Henry just stood there.
He tossed the axe aside and grabbed Henry by his left paw and began to swing him around. After he gained enough momentum Glarin let loose and Henry flew across the ring and landed on the weapon rack filled with blunted weapons.
“YOU WILL NOT BELITTLE ME AGAIN BEAST!” Fluttershy saw the look of confusion on Henrys face before he shook his head and took on the serious demeanor from before and let loose another roar.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At the sound of Henry’s roar, Glarin picked the axe up again and leaped at Henry. With a fierce yell, Glarin landed against Henrys chest pushing him back and hit him in the head again with his axe.
Henry, no longer caring about hurting him, smacked him in the face knocking Glarin to the ground. Glarin bounced off the ground and with quick roll stood back up. He swiftly landed another axe strike on Henry’s leg before rolling farther in an attempt to get behind Henry.
Henry decided to try a roll as well and fell over on his side and began to roll in the direction Glarin had just gone. Glarin jumped over Henry as he rolled like a log toward him and then dashed at him.
Only to run into a Purple see through wall. Glarin looked over and saw that Twilight had decided to intervene and stop their fight.
“Glarin, I know you can still fight, but watching your left arm flop around like that is starting to make me sick. And I’m pretty sure you’re making it worse than it was a few moments ago.” Glarin calmed himself down and looked at his left arm and the shoulder. It was worse than before, it was turning black and blue with shades of purple.
Both doctors ran up with Twilight and began to inspect his arm.
“We need to get the blood flowing back into it immediately. Blood stopped circulating at some point...” Said one of the doctors as he held it in his hooves.
“Your arm is dying!” shouted the other doctor as he finished a short scan.
Glarin just mumbled to himself as he walked back to the sidelines with Twilight and the two doctors who were in a panic. Only wanting him to hold still while they made sure he could keep his arm.
“You won't win so easily next Time Henry...” Twilight smacked him upside the head.
“You didn’t have to go and dislocate it again after you fixed it! You’re strong and tough, we all know that! There’s no reason for you to go out of your way and re-injure yourself like that!” Glarin just looked off to the side as Twilight glared at him.
“He started it...” Twilight became flabbergasted by that statement
“You’re blameing Henry?! I, Wha...” Twilight just looked at Glarin with her right eyebrow raised so high it was almost under her hairline.
“From now on, there will be no Spars unless there is a unicorn that is capable of stopping the fight present!” Glarin turned to look at Twilight before nodding his head slightly.
“Ok, I can understand that...” Glarin looked over to everyone that was in the sparring room. Most of them had worried expressions on their faces. He looked over at the guards and shouted at them. “...Who's next?!”
All of the guards seemed to look around at each other and just hum to themselves. Glarin just grumbled as he shook his head in disappointment at them. He was about to give them a lecture again when little Spatzi ran up to him.
“I heard all the commotion so I left my room and came to see what was going on... I wanna try it!” Glarin raised an eyebrow at Spatzi while Twilight was re-flabbergasted at what she said.
“Why you most certainly...!” Started Twilight, before being cut off by Glarin.
“Can! Just grab some of the blunted weapons and pick who you wanna fight with. Make sure its something you can use easily.” Glarin was just giving her a grin while everyone else in the room looked horrified that Glarin would let her fight Henry or Mr. Biggles.
Everyone was just speechless as Glarin watched her happily run off to the pile of blunted weapons that Henry landed in a few moments ago.
“Shes a little fighter that one. Shame she isn’t a dwarf, or closer to my age.” Twilight started going off on Glarin at that point.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spatzi looked back and saw Twilight yelling at Glarin point blank. She giggled as she rummaged through the pile. Many of them were far too big for her. It wasn’t until she found a pair of small gantlets near the bottom did she look at them with a bit of curiosity.
They were a perfect fit for her small paws! Not only that but a blue dagger was next to them as well. She placed the dagger in her mouth and happily trotted to the center of the ring.
“I see you found the sparring weapons I made just for you!” Spatzi turned to look at Glarin who waved at her with a smile on his face.
“WHAT?!” Yelled Twilight as she started yelling at him all over again.
Henry was still standing inside the ring and looked at Spatzi. Fluttershy was relieved to see that she would be fighting Henry. He would go easy on her while still giving her a fight, it would be like a game.
Fluttershys smile disappeared when she told Henry to go rest, and that she wanted to have a rematch with Mr. Biggles. Henry made the low whine noise again as he left. Mr Biggles slowly stood up and gave out a stretch with a yawn before moving into the ring with her.
“Mew?” For being such a large creature, his meowing was rather high pitched, similar to a house cats. Spatzi spit the blue dagger from her mouth and yelled at Mr. Biggles.
“This is a rematch! No going easy on both sides! I wanna know if I woulda won in the forest if I didn’t get distracted!” As Spatzi picked up the blue dagger again, everyone saw Mr. Biggles give a wide grin showing off his sharp teeth.
With a thunderous roar, Mr. Biggles began to charge at Spatzi. Everypony in the room cowered when he roared.
When Biggles was within range he lunged at Spatzi, teeth barred and paws outstretched. He wasn’t holding back.
Spatzi leaped backwards so that she was just out of reach and bopped Mr. Biggles on the nose with one of the gantlets, letting a loud squeak be heard.
“One!” Spatzi just had a big smile on her face. Mr. Biggles rubbed his nose and snorted. He gave a faint smile back at her along with an attack from his stinger. Spatzi side-stepped as the stinger went into the ground and became stuck. Spatzi took this chance to hit his tail with the dagger.
“Two!” Mr. Biggles was starting to get embarrassed. He was losing to a child.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Twilight stopped yelling long enough to watch Spatzi and Mr. Biggles spar. She had heard from Ms. Cheerilee that she was a little fighter. But she had no idea it was like this.
It looked like Spatzi was dancing. She had a smile on her face as she dodged and flew between strikes. Everyone watched speechless as she seemed to move effortlessly around, landing a hit when the opportunity for it came. Twilight turned to look at Glarin who was chuckling as he watched her move around the ring.
“She really is a little devil. She really enjoys fighting, just look how happy she is! Shame she isn't a dwarf...” Glarin just watched as she back flipped over another one of Mr. Biggles paw strikes and jab him in the belly with her dagger again, prompting another thunderous roar from Mr. Biggles. "...Reminds me a little of Haela..." Spatzi was dodgeing most of the strikes by a hairs breadth.
He was getting frustrated just like he did in the forest. She was far too nimble for him to catch.
Mr. Biggles took to the air and began to circle around her. Spatzi spit out her dagger and yelled up at him.
“Fight like a Stallion!” Glarin chimed in after a hearty laugh.
“Yeah! Ya yella bellied house nug!” Mr. Biggles wasn’t sure what a house nug was, but he was sure it was meant to be an insult. And there was nothing he could do about being yellow bellied. He had yellow fur.
Either way, Mr. Biggles tucked in his wings and made a dive bomb at Spatzi. All of the ponies and mares gasped. Twilight was about to use her magic and end it when Glarin reached over and flicked her horn, causing her magic to fizzle out.
Twilight looked over at Glarin in horror while he simply pointed.
With a loud boom, Mr. Biggles landed. And when the dust cloud began to settle they could hear Spatzi laughing as she yelled out again.
“You missed me!” It was then followed by another squeak.
“She’ll be a speed demon on the battlefield when she reaches adulthood... reminds me of that one elf...” Glarin shuddered at the thought. “... good thing she’s on my side.” Twilight whopped him in the back of the head again, and again...
A bright flash of purple filled the room causing everyone to close their eyes. When everyone opened them again Mr. Biggles was standing outside the ring in a fighting stance. He looked around for a moment before slumping his shoulders and laid down in defeat.
“I won!” Shouted Spatzi as she ran out of the ring toward Glarin.
“Did you see that! I told you I could of won if I didn’t get distracted!” She finished her sentence by sticking her tongue out at Glarin, making him laugh.
“Are you bunch a babies just gonna let a kid show you up like that? I may have fought and lost due to a bad call from the ref..." Twilight hit Glarin again. "...But she won!” He thought about it for a second then slumped his shoulders as well. “She made me look bad too, didn’t even get hit...” Glarin began to kick a rock that landed near him after Mr. Biggles crash landed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spike had been watching the whole time with his mares watching as well. They looked up at him expectantly with smiles plastered on their faces.
“Come on Spikey! Go do a sparing match with that Manticore!” Said Silver Blossom
“Yeah, he cant be that hard! Did you see what that little Leoequus did!?” Spike watched as the green Pegasus pointed over at Mr. Biggles, he was just laying down looking around him a little upset.
“Yeah but, well I guess I could...” Spike rubbed the back of his head nervously. “...Sir Glarin! I’ll give it a go. Is Mr. Biggles ready for another round?” Mr. Biggles looked up and saw Spike walk over toward the pile of blunted weapons.
“You up for another round with Sir Spike Mr. Biggles?” Mr. Biggles jumped up and ran to the center of the ring eager to go again and redeem himself.
Spike walked to the center of the ring to meet with Mr. Biggles and get things started.
“Woo! You can do it Sugar plum!”
“Hes just a big kitty!”
“You got this!”
Spike was feeling pumped up at the cheers he was getting, So he began to charge at Mr. Biggles...
Spike woke up two hours later inside a hospital bed.
He looked around the room and saw Silver Blossom reading a book while sitting next to him. He stood up and held his head, he had a massive lump on it.
“What happened?” Silver Blossom looked over at him and giggled.
“Oh, you’re awake. Well, as you were running at Mr. Biggles, you tripped over your own feet and hit your head with a rather loud cracking sound and passed out.” Spike just blushed heavily and ducked under the covers as he groaned out loud.
