//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Spike Of Magna // by twilight hunter //------------------------------// The next morning Spike went to check on Sunset, as he walked into her room he saw Amelia standing next to Sunset's bed checking on her Amelia noticed Spike and motioned him to be quiet, Spike nodded and walked over to them, when he was beside the bed Sunset let out a pained grunt, seeing this Spike asked if the painkillers weren't working, Amelia said, "It doesn't look like it." Spike and Amelia left the room and went to the table to talk. As they were talking Flash walked out of his room and saw both of them at the table and asked, "Sunset feeling any better?" Spike and Amelia both shook their heads no. Spike went in the kitchen to fix breakfast for all of them. After Spike was done cooking he took some food to Sunsets room for her, seeing she was awake he gave her the food, she ate only half of the food before she said, "I am alright Spike, I was just sore from the fight." Spike was about to tell her he knew she was lying when she laid down and told him she was still sleepy, he saw she was already falling asleep when he closed the door. As Spike sat down at the table he asked himself what he should do Sunset is in pain and he had no idea why she was in pain, she fought and defeated at least two dozen monsters on her own and was fine when she woke up but she fought about half that number and had no scrapes or bruises but she was in pain. Spike then had an idea, he would check the cave he found Sunset in for anything that might help her, so Spike got his bag and headed out to the cave. About ten minutes later he was standing in front of the cave looking in, Spike said, "here goes nothing." Once he got to the giant gem he started to look around when all of a sudden a big earthquake shook the whole cave. Feeling the cave could Spike tried to get out but the earthquake suddenly stopped. Once Spike realized it stopped, he stood in the middle of the cave and he heard a cracking noise coming from all around him before Spike could react the ground fell apart making him fall into a cavern beneath the cave. As Spike landed he was knocked out cold. In his mind he was back in his room He went to see if he could find anyone as he stepped out of his room there were seven girls, and Spike felt like he knew all of them, one of them was Sunset but he could not remember the others names, he went to talk with them when three men walked in the front door, Spike's head hurt and he heard the weird voice in his head, it said, "Do you have the power?" "Are you the one?" Spike yelled. "What do you mean?" The voice said, "What is your wish?" After that everything turned white. Spike woke up and found he was still in the cave, he got up and started looking around, Spike was amazed at how beautiful the cave was. Spike walked to a part of the cave full of gems as he was staring his head began to hurt, and he noticed a light started shining to his left when he looked he saw a girl floating in the air she was 6"0" with rainbow hair she had a bow that had fog coming off it, and she had pony ears and a pony tail along with sky blue skin, when she landed she looked at Spike and said, "Hello master Eduard I am here to serve you." Spike asked who she was, and she said, "My name is Rainbow Dash but you may call me Rainbow." After she said that, Spike realized she called him by his last name, but before he could ask her how she knew his last name, five squads of Changelings appeared and started to attack them. Rainbow and Spike split up and started to take out each squad of Changelings. Once all the squads were defeated, Rainbow fell to her knees with scrapes on her arms, she said, "I think that was the last of them, but my magna seems low." Spike looked at her and said, "Magna, what is that, are you going to be alright? you seem to be in bad shape." Rainbow said, "Magna is our source of energy. If it runs out we could never hope to recover." Once she noticed his bracelet she said, "I'll explain later but hold your bracelet out to me. Please. Quickly!" Once she told him that, he held out his hand and his bracelet started to glow, and so did Rainbow. When the light faded Rainbow felt full of energy and all her scrapes were healed. All of a sudden three Changeling squads appeared, and Spike asked, "ready for round two." and she said, "See if you can keep up." After they destroyed the last changeling, Spike finally realized he never asked her how she knew his last name, so Spike said, "Who are you? Where did you come from?" Rainbow started to shake her head and after she stopped, she said, "I don't know more than you, and if I try to remember more than that my head hurts." After that Spike said, "There's a girl, Sunset, and well, I mean, Do you know a girl named Sunset Shimmer?" Rainbow turned to Spike and said, "Sunset Shimmer?" "It sounds familiar. I think I have at one point or another." Spike looked hopeful, and said, "Would you mind if we go meet her?" Rainbow said, "Sure maybe meeting her will help me remember something." Spike looked around and could not find a way out of the cave, seeing this Rainbow asked, "what are you doing?" Spike told her, "trying to find an exit" Rainbow said, "if that is the only problem I can fix that." Rainbow aimed at the wall and blew a hole in the wall for them to exit out of. So they went back to the inn and up to Sunset's room. Spike and Rainbow entered and Amelia asked Spike who Rainbow was he told her, "I'll explain later." Once Rainbow looked at Sunset, Spike asked, "Do you know her?" Rainbow said, "I do. Sunset is my sister." Both Amelia and Spike asked, "Your sister?" Rainbow said, "she looks like she is suffering from a shortage of magna." Spike asked, "what can we do?" Rainbow face-palmed and said, "Do what you did with me. Hold out your hand to her." Spike felt stupid He did not think of that. So Spike held out his hand to Sunset and his bracelet flashed, once the light faded Sunset sat up and stared at Rainbow. Sunset asked, "Who is she?" pointing at Rainbow. Spike told them How he met Rainbow and how he brought her here to help Sunset. Once he was done Sunset asked, "Spike may Rainbow stay? Please." Rainbow said, "No I don't want to impose." Spike said, "Rainbow you may stay if you want. It would not be a problem." Telling Spike, Sunset, and Rainbow goodnight, Amelia left to go home. After telling Rainbow she could sleep in one of the other rooms, he told them goodnight and went to bed.
