Welp, this story is succesful, and not just on fimfiction but on fanfiction.net as well. See i knew that more people wrote stories about yu-yu-hakusho on fanfiction.net and not on here as far as i can tell. But i did not expect for so many people to take interest in this story just yet since i only posted up the first chapter in november i believe? and suprisingly alot of people liked this story and i dare say when i complete the first arc of this story it will be the most successful story i have ever written for any fanfiction. Though we will cross that bridge when we come to it, tbh i am just really happy alot of you are liking this story. I hope my further chapters get better from here and you will like them alot.

Now before we go further i must ask you one thing and it the same thing i am asking the people of fanfiction.net.

Do you want to see Sparity in here? Or no Sparity.

Before you go n vote in a link provided or on my poll on this website i want you all to know tha ti am not a fan of Sparity and this is focused on a crossover between MLP: FIM and YU YU Hakusho. As such Sparity and any and all potential romances are not going to play a focusing role unless the story calls for it down the line. This is even more so since i am not a Sparity fan myself, as such if i add Sparity it may or may not end in the way you Sparity lovers want too, so keep that in mind but also in mind that i will still try and make it interesting for all of you to enjoy.

Whew damn sorry long authors note here. Anyways hope you enjoy, and remember, read, review, and please vote!~






"Alright this is just weird" Spike said aloud his words failing to match his exact emotions at the moment.

He didn't understand what was happening in the slightest, 'how exactly did this happen?' he thought to himself as he slowly descended to the ground and right in front of his body. His mind was already trying to recall what had happened to him, and more importantly why was there two Spikes as well as the fact of the matter was how the body on the ground looked rather… different than the one whom was standing.

"Wh-What the?" Spike couldn't help but fail to comment on the body on the ground as he realized that he looked VERY different then compared to how he looked right now.

Remember how I had mentioned Spike previously? Well his body that was on the ground looked a lot different in comparison. The 'Spike' on the ground had a rather round and large head that seemed to fit well with his large round torso. While the Spike that was still standing had a rather lean build but is around the same height as Princess Celestia herself with a height between 5 or 6 ft. It also somewhat complimented his short; stubby arms and legs, the tail however was only about the same length as one of his short arms.

The most disturbing fact is how the smaller Spike was posed. His form was lying down on his side, his left arm lying flat with hand open. His right arm however was twisted a bit as if someone attempted to pull it off, failed, and left him like this. The cuts, scratches and bruises placed at various spots all over his body truly gave the impress this lifeless corpse was indeed dead.

"Okay this has gone from weird to freakish, how do I look so different now!?" He almost shouted not even bothering to look at the ponies around him. Spike knew that these ponies would not even pay the slightest bit of attention to him at this point no matter how much he screamed at them.

Ignoring his thoughts about the ponies; the young drake squatted down to take a good long look at the body. Hesitantly, he reached forward a bit towards the motionless body and was about to touch it when he heard a loud cry and constant profanity being yelled out.

"SCOOTALOO CALM THE FUCK DOWN!" '

"Scootaloo?" Spike thought to himself before turning around too the source of the noise and sure enough he saw three of his best friends two of which were holding the other back.

Scootaloo, Pegasus, age 14 and second oldest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, also one of the three founders of said group. Scootaloo's height while normally was only slightly above Spike's normal height of said dragon if he looked the same as before. Her purple hair looked much like Fonzie if he had a small twirl spike at the end of his tail and Fonzie was female. Her orange coat somehow reminded Spike of fire as he looked at her; though it only matched that same fire in her eyes. Her tail had the same matching colors as her hairstyle but had small little pointing ends on her tail.

"Calm down? CALM DOWN!? HOW CAN I CALM DOWN WITH THAT MURDERER RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! "Scootaloo screamed loudly as the warm salty tears were slowly dripping down her face and onto the orange fur coat as she struggled pitifully in her friends grips. Earning her a lot of looks of sympathy from the crowd as she pointed towards a certain filly that only looked down and crying in front of everyone, Spike on the other hand was only confused more than ever from Scootaloo's shouting as she tried to break free from her best friend's grips on her. The way that the 14 year old Pegasus was shouting at the crying Filly in front of her and shouting at her friends made it clear that she was grieving over the loss of Spike; not that he really minded it was still nice to know that his friends still cared about him even though he's… you know.

"AppleBloom we need to get her out of here right now!" A younger voice shouted at AppleBloom seemingly calmer then she appeared. Spike immediately recognized this voice as Sweetie Belle whom was trying her hardest not to cry right now. Spike couldn't help but stare at both of them in interest as they try their best to hold back Scootaloo whose eyes were still painfully mixed between anguish and rage; a conflict of emotions that he was going to admit only made the filly seem like a pathetic mess.

AppleBloom, Earth Pony, age 15 oldest of the Cutie Mark Crusaders and fellow co-founder youngest sibling of Applejack the Element Of Honesty. AppleBloom's hair style was oddly shaped much like Spikes well; spikes even her tail was oddly shaped like it though at least her red hair color made it a little different then the dragon's namesakes. Her fur coat is a pale light grayish olive color, and yet somehow her coat made one pay more attention to those orange eyes of hers.

Sweetie Belle, Unicorn, age 13, youngest member and co-founder of the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Her hairstyle and light grayish harlequin mane were simply fashioned similarly to that of cotton candy; her light grey coat making her seem more 'girly' then compared to the rest of the crusaders if her green eyes didn't already make it clear she was more 'girlish' then compared to AppleBloom and Scootaloo.

"Ah'm way ahead of you Sweetie Belle!" AppleBloom said slightly louder than normal as she tried to push the orange Pegasus out of the way to get her as far away from the scene as possible. Sweetie Bell's horn glowed a light grassy green as it slowly engulfed her friend too keep her down and make it easier for the earth pony and unicorn push Scootaloo out of the way. The Pegasus in question struggled against her friend's grips even harder than before as the crusaders were slowly trying to walk away, though Scootaloo was certainly making it difficult to the point it was hard for Sweetie Bell hold her down with her magic and have AppleBloom hold onto the orange pony as they slowly managed to get away from the scene of the incident.

"Ah'm really sorry Ya'll about this really!" AppleBloom said as she continued to push Scootaloo away with Sweetie Bell only grunting heavily as she slowly walks with the earth pony and pegasus. As they walk Scootaloo would only try and escape their grip her broken cries would echo around the town as she is carried off leaving the town ponies to look down at Spike's body as a few more ponies walked near the said body.

Spike looked towards the direction of these two new ponies almost immediately noting that they were from the local hospital, already thinking that they were here for the corpse lying down on the floor at the moment. Sure enough one of the earth ponies one being blue and the other one being green and both were wearing those strange white coats. The stallion in green kneeled down in front of the motionless body, before he started to poke and prod the baby dragon for a few minutes while the blue one would walk towards the young pink filly that was only staring there motionlessly as the tears fell from her face.

"Hey what's your name youngster?" The dark blue stallion said as he sat down in front of the crying filly and started to check her for injuries; it as that moment Spike remembered that the name of the pink filly was Diamond Tiara a former bully of him and his friends before she turned over a new leaf. He instantly recognized that her hair and mane basically screamed 'rich person' hell, even the mark of the tiara she usually wears upon her head that normally matched the mark on her rump is a flat out sign saying that she is from a very wealthy family; that is if the fillys blue eyes didn't already make it clear enough already.

"It-It's D-Di-Diamond Tiara" She said with a whimper as the stallion checked the slightly injured filly for any kind of injuries. After a few moments of checking the filly the stallion near Diamond Tiara looked towards his partner with a slight relived tone before talking again.

"This ones all right, just a few injuries but nothing serious" He said as his partner finishes checking Spike's body for anything that would even prove that he was still alive at the moment and was merely unconscious. The green stallion got up before he picked up Spike's body and placed the deceased dragon on his back, the solemn look on his faced showed how he was feeling at the moment.

"At least one of them is alright..." The green pony commented as his partner nodded and walked away from the scene, though the comment the green stallion made it painfully clear to Spike that he had died and somehow turned into a ghost. But how did he die? What had caused him to turn into a ghost?

"Ok Spike think try to remember what happened earlier" The dragon said to himself as his mind started to wander backwards to where the whole day began…

{ 6 hours earlier }

It was already morning in the town of Ponyville, Celestia herself had already raised the sun and made it shine so very bright today, and yet it only seemed to bring out the radiant beauty from the sun as its light shined down upon the small little town. The first rays of sunshine managed to squeeze its way through the window of the so called 'Castle Of Friendship' and more importantly shined down upon Spike whom was still in his normal looking appearance.

"Uhgh, I hate mornings" The young drake said as he got out of his bed. He rubbed his eyes as he walked feeling a bit exhausted even though it was around 10 in the morning. Spike had never really been a morning dragon always preferring to sleep in during the day.

Spike however was able to get over the fact he was missing out on some sleep. The reason for this was because he was going to hang out with a few of his friends for the 'Friendship Festival'. This new festival that was introduced around a year ago was meant to celebrate your family and friends just having a good time, and more importantly to be grateful for the friendships they have with others whether they are pony or not.

Spike shook the thoughts out of his mind as he walked towards the kitchen and swiftly prepared breakfast. He didn't make anything fancy just a few pancakes and nothing else before he set them upon a table in the dining room where he noticed a scroll with some words scribbled in it.

'Dear Spike,

I am sorry that me and the girls are unable to spend the day with you, AppleBloom, Sweetie Bell and Scootaloo. Unfortunately something is I have no idea exactly but I do know that it involved the Elements Of Harmony in some way and how each of us have been feeling strange as of late.

I really hope you can forgive me for this, I really wanted to bring you with us. The others wanted to do so as well, but we eventually decided to leave you so that you may 'hang out' (I have no idea if that's the term to use) with the others.

I hope you're not too mad Spike, and I promise you we will hang out once we come back tomorrow.

From, Twilight Sparkle.

P.S, Pinkie Pie says hi and she left you a sapphire cupcake at Sugar Cube Corner.'

"Heh, typical Pinkie Pie" Spike said as he heard the door to the room open. He quickly hid the scroll underneath the table as his friends walked into the room, he didn't need to look twice when he saw the colors of orange, yellow, and white walk near the tables.

"Howdy Spike" Turning his head he waved at AppleBloom whom he noted was really excited about the festival. Though it wasn't really difficult to notice considering how wide she was smiling at the moment.

"Woah Spike did you make all of this for us!" Scootaloo said as her mouth began watering from the sight of pancakes that had a bit of whipped cream on them. Spike chuckled a bit at her reaction before he began to speak to her.

"Yeah figured I should make something light since we're going to eat a lot during the festival" Spike commented as he began to eat some of the pancakes, truth be told he was really excited for the festival even if he wasn't able to spend it with Twilight he at least could spend it with a few of his friends.

"Well, what are we really waiting for? The festivals going to start in a few minutes!" Sweetie Bell said with glee after she pretty much wolfed down those pancakes and ran out of the room. Completely neglecting the fact she had some food left over on her face as she ran out of the room to the festival no doubt.

"Should we tell her that she still has whipped cream on her face?" Spike asked the other fillies as they finished eating and got out of their chairs. AppleBloom and Scootaloo looked at each other for a few moments, they grinned as they looked at the drake again.

"No"

"Yeah I didn't think so" Spike quipped before getting of the chair and began running after Sweetie Bell.

It didn't take too long for the crusaders and assistant to catch up too Sweetie Bell, the 3 of them finally managed to walk outside of the castle and almost instantly noticed that Sweetie Bell was talking to a pink filly Spike immediately recognized as Diamond Tiara. In the young drakes mind he started to scream that he didn't really like this certain filly in the slightest, but he also did his best to hide it in reality not wanting to spoil the day for him and his friends.

Sweetie Bell turned towards her friends before smiling and waving at them, it was then that spike noticed they were standing in front of a 'Pumpkin Shot' game.

"Oh there they are!" Diamond Tiara said as she waved at Spike and his companions. The assistant winced for a few seconds as she spoke but he did not make much of a big deal of it. He instead pushed those feelings down and pressed them into that locked box of hidden emotions and threw away the key as he walked towards the pink filly.

"Glad to see your joining us today Diamond Tiara" Spike said trying his best to mask his emotions a bit, thankfully his acting lessons paid off as the fillies bought his attempt to hide his emotions.

"Likewise Spike, it's nice to get away from my mom even if it's for a day" The rich filly responded as happily one can be when they are away from someone they truly hate. Spike could actually agree with that at least, though he did not say that out loud in fear for the repercussions that it would bring to the group on a day that was meant to be a happy occasion.

"So are you 5 going to play a round of pumpkin toss or are you looking to chat away the day hmm?" The unicorn stallion that was in charge of the pumpkin toss game teased them a bit in a joking manner.

"Oh um sure, what do you girls think?" Spike said knowing he was going to play anyways, the girls all mumbled in agreement before the unicorn started to speak again.

"Right now, thing is because of a incident that happened last year I can't let you use the catapult but..." The manager of the booth suddenly pulled out a bow and arrow toy set collection, of course it was modified that ponies could use them no matter how old they are. Thankfully the top of the 'arrow' was replaced by some strange looking rubber that honestly made Spike think of plungers for some reason.

"The arrows here work almost like real ones, thing is you have to aim it up high and it will hit one of the pumpkins on the field, the farther you get the better your prize will be" The stallion explained as he brought of a wide collection of prizes that the kids could earn in this one game.

Spike turned his head towards the 'field' where the pumpkins were all sitting. In truth it was kinda large about as large as a swimming pool would be, though I digress here lets get back to the story hmm?

"Ok sure I will play"

"Alright that will be 5 bits" The unicorn said with a tone that basically said 'your going to fail but I am going to watch anyways' though that tone only made Spike want to try and win the big prize to show the pony who's boss.

"So what's the prize I get for hitting the middle pumpkin?" Spike asked in a curious tone, the stallion had simply placed a few coupons on the table in response before answering.

"A few coupons for the games and the rest of the coupons are ones for SugarCube Corner, that is IF you hit the main pumpkin" The stallion said in a obviously fake mocking tone no doubt to try and goat Spike into playing more then he should.

Unfortunately for the unicorn this young drake had more then a few skills besides being a assistant.

Spike grabbed the bow and arrow before aiming it, the familiar sensation of holding a bow had almost instantly registered in his mind. The mind in question began to think almost like a supercomputer working on a long string of math equations as he took in the weight of the arrow itself and the current of the wind. His mind calculated the possible paths the arrow could take before deciding on the best one and letting go of the arrow.

The arrow flew through the air for a few good seconds, almost as if it was a bird taking flight to the skies above. The arrow landed on its target, dead center of the pumpkin target; a shot that would have pierced right into its core of it had been a real arrow.

The young dragon grinned as he stared towards the unicorn whom only looked on mouth gaped in surprise from the casual act the young dragon displayed. The store owner wasn't even able to react to Spike as the young drake grabbed the coupons and walked off with the fillies.

"Spike. That. Was. AWESOME!" Scootaloo exclaimed loudly and jumped into the air, letting her wings flutter for a few seconds before landing into the ground once more.

"No kidding ah didn't know you could do that Spike" AppleBloom joined in with her cheering, making Spike blush a bit in embarrassment.

"It wasn't really much of anything really" Spike commented not used to all the praise he was getting.

"Are you kidding me? You only shot one arrow and you got the pumpkin easily that was amazing!" Sweetie Belle said happily as she started to jump up and down a bit in excitement, even Diamond Tiara looked impressed.

"It really was amazing, where did you learn how to do that?" Diamond Tiara asked, Spike blushed slightly more before he opened his mouth to explain.

"Well erm, to save some time I will try and give you the dumbed down version" the crusaders and former bully leaned in a bit closer to listen to the assistant.

"All right a long time ago me and Twilight both lived in Canterlot with Twilight's mom dad and brother. During that time Shining Armor was still trying to get into the royal guards and because of that he always needed a sparring partner; since dragons are naturally pain tolerant-"

"Um Spike what does 'panic tool-er-ia-ance' mean?" AppleBloom sheepishly asked in embarrassment letting out a little 'sqee' as she does so. Spike chuckled a bit at the display before he continued.

"It's pain tolerance AppleBloom. Now hush and let me continue, anyways as I was saying. Shining Armor needed a sparring partner, now since dragons are more immune to pain naturally he decided that he should have me be his sparing partner and even showed me the best ways to defend myself if a pony attacks me. Some of the ways he taught me relate to survival skills, hoof-to-hoof combat, archery, and also how to escape a unicorns grip while being held down with their magic" Spike explained as the young fillies listened in on his small tale. Needless to say the four of them were genuinely surprised at how he admitted he knew all those things.

"Wow Spike I didn't know that you were so talented in things other then house cleaning" Diamond Tiara joked in a obviously playful tone Spike caught onto the mischievous insult before preparing one of his own.

"This is coming from you, the filly that's the daughter of Filthy Rich and has around ten servants that are willing to wipe your flank for a few bits"

"Coming from the dragon that is always used as an experiment for magic" Scootaloo joined in on the banter which earned a scoff from Spike.

"Oh wow real scary, the girl that prefers the scooter over her wings trying to insult me how frightening" Spike said as sarcastically as he could as he clapped his claws/hands? This only earned a raspberry from the orange pegasus.

"Hah you just got told Scootaloo!" Sweetie Bell said with a small laugh finding this situation humorous.

"Oh hush you dictionary, let's not forget about that plan you had involving your magic a week ago!"

"Hey now that's not fair me and Sweets weren't able to see that bear!"

"It was right infront of you how could you not see it!"

I erm ah, Spike help me out here!" AppleBloom begged not able to think of a good argument for this one.

"Mm nah, I rather watch and eat popcorn" Spike said casually which caused the group to go completely silent before all of them suddenly started snickering a bit. The snickers turned to chuckles, and the chuckles turned into fairy loud laughter as the group of kids started to laugh so loud that some ponies looked at thin oddly but simply looked the other way and let the kids laugh and have fun.

The laughter took a few good minutes to die down but even then the crusaders, the rich girl, and the dragon couldn't help but let out a few snickers here and there. It was then that Spike had to admit, he was really happy that Twilight had left him in the dark about an adventure that might or might not happen, because of the fact it had allowed him to spend this holiday with a few of his good friends and be sharing this amazing moment of laughter and happiness with them.

The girls smiled and laughed a bit at him before they finally started to cough from how loudly they were laughing and eventually they stopped laughing all together. The young drake took the time to look at his friends as they started to calm down, even though he was sure they would be fine without them he knew from their faces and how they looked at him that they were glad to have him here as well.

But the next few minutes would forever change the lives of the five minutes would change the lives of not just the five friends but the lives that were closest to them and bring them closer to each other then before.

"Hey Diamond Tiara I forgot till just now, where's Silver Spoon?" Spike inquired noting how the group was missing a certain silver coated filly that normally was around Diamond Tiara wherever she went.

"Oh that's right I forgot to tell you, Silver Spoon got sick and she won't be able to join us for the festival this year"

"Really? What got her so sick?" Scootaloo asked a little interested and wondering what caused the filly to miss out on a important event.

"That's the weird thing nobody knows, she just randomly got sick, doctors are going to take a look at her later and make sure that she isn't serious sick" The former school bully explained which had earned her a few nods of agreement from everyone.

"She might have lied about getting sick though" Spikes comment got him a few confused stares from the rest of the of his small group.

"Why would you think she would lie about something like that to her?" AppleBloom said in confusion not liking where this concept was going in the slightest. A large part of her gut was telling her to stop this before it gets really ugly but she didn't know what words exactly to say to get Spike to step down.

"Simple. Diamond Tiara was a school bully for the three of you; she had Silver Spoon with her since the first time they bullied you. Need I remind you of what happened between Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon after diamond lost the class president election" Spike asked which earned a cringe from Diamond Tiara whom looked down at the ground feeling bad about herself for what had happened.

The rest of the crusaders didn't find their voices for a few minutes, each of them knew exactly that Spike had meant the small fight that had broken out between the two bully friends. Silver Spoon had taunted Diamond Tiara relentlessly and caused the filly to run off in tears, none of the crusaders could believe that she was crying at first and that lead to them all discovering that her mother was a 'Filthy Rich pony snob that society would be better off if they just ran off and left the same ones alone' as Spike put it.

"Even if we take that account you have to remember one thing Tiara" Diamond Tiara looked up at the dragon as if he was a person that knew all the knowledge in the word and she was a mere peasant looking for answers about a specific topic.

"You were the one to blackmail the crusaders. You were the one that caused Babs Seed to bully her cousin and friends by taking advantage of her bullied past. You were the one that insulted Scootaloo's handicap on the topic of flying, and you were the one that continued to be an all around jerk to every pony in your class." Spike said as he continued to dish out true fact after fact each small word feeling far worse then a critical blow and each word slowly but surely started to bring her closer to tears.

"B-bu-but"

"You mom had nothing to do with those incidents, yes she basically forced you to try and cheat your way to the top but you had the strength to turn your back on her and become your own pony. Just imagine from what I said right now; how much worse would you be if the girls DIDN'T help you?" Diamond Tiara gasped and started to feel those warm salty tears threaten to crawl out of her eyes. But she refused to cry infront of her friends, trying to trick her mind into thinking happier thoughts so that she won't cry infront of them.

"Spike what the hay was that for, that was uncalled for!" Sweetie Bell said not understanding why Spike was acting like this way, she didn't like this at all and neither did the others.

"Oh please you know your thinking the same thing, besides for all I know Silver Spoon might really be sick but what if she's not and is still angry Tiara? What are you going to do to make it up to her?" Spike interrogated the poor filly giving her at least an idea on how to make her situation a bit better.

In the instant that Spike said that Diamond Tiara felt the gears work like clockwork in her head. She knew simply buying something with money that her parents have would not make it up to her but what else could she do? She was simply too unskilled in well anything related to any construction work but still skilled enough to know her homework very well at least...

"Well..um..." She started trying to think of something, ANYTHING to answer the dragon that was seemingly bullying her.

"What about one of the girls?" Scootaloo asked quickly thinking of a suggestion too which Spike smiled finally getting them all right where he wanted them.

"Of course, Rarity is great at making dresses, and she has been looking for an excuse to teach someone what she knows about seeing and and other forms of art" Spike said in a casual tone while subtly giving Diamond Tiara a hint of what she should do. Something that made her eyes go wide as the realization hit her, and just like that the pieces of the small puzzle had all fit together for the pony.

"Y-Your right, b-but how will I-"

"Let me handle that" Spike said as he reached towards his back and casually popped off one of his spikes as if they were a cap of some sorts and inside were a spare scroll and quill. Moving quickly he started to write down the contents of that scroll before he would hand it to Diamond Tiara.

'Dear Rarity,

It's me Spike, listen Diamond Tiara is trying her best to help out others then herself ever since that whole class president election not long ago. I am certain that she could use the help of some other adult role model besides her mother, with that in mind I am hoping that you take some time to hell her out with a unique dress. Not one for say the gala, but one that is meant from one friend to the other.

The catch? I am asking you to teach her how to make her own dress so Diamond Tiara can say 100% she made it as a effort to say she's sorry to Silver Spoon. I hope that you have the time to help her out and I am certain that she will be very grateful for this.

Love, Spike

P.S.

Think you can help me stock up on a lot of gemstones whenever you get the chance between your business, and Diamond Tiara? I began running out yesterday and need to stock up on them since apparently they are the only things that actually fill me up!'

With the scroll completely written down spike placed the quill back into the cap before placing it into his back again. The scroll however he threw into the air and blasted it with green fire and caused it to deliver itself too Rarity, he then turned towards the pink filly before he spoke again. {1}

"You should probably head over to Rarity's boutique, she's probably already agreed"

"R-really!? T-THANK YOU SPIKE!" Diamond Tiara squealed happily and hugged the dragon before she began to walk off taking her time and feeling rather relaxed after that short ordeal.

"You planned this out from the beginning didn't you?" All eyes turned towards Sweetie Bell besides Spike whom only stared on as Diamond Tiara walked away. "You knew that we would get into a fight, and you knew that she would try and find a way out with her money but instead you have her the best alternative you could; and the only way to do that was to make it seem like she had no way out of th mess..." Sweetie Belle pointed out with a tone that made it clear that she was thinking at a rate that could make a super computers brain hurt.

"Oh? And what gave you that idea?" Spike said in a smug tone which earned a short laugh from Scootaloo.

"And here I was worried you were about to go psycho nine on her ass!" Scootaloo laughed as she sat down on her rump earning her a few glances from her friends but Spike only chuckled at the comment.

"Heh maybe, anyways the fairs still going on we should have fun while we are here."

Before any of the ponies could respond there was loud screams filling the air. Not a single one of them were screams of people having fun, no these were screams of terror as they headed towards their doom.

Spike turned his head towards the sounds of the screaming, and noted that Diamond Tiara was standing still as she was facing the directions of where the screams were coming from. It was then that the young drake noticed that there was a wagon filled with multiple ponies no doubt about that, thing is the ponies were making that cart even heavier and were trapped on the inside of it. With the laws of physics applying that would mean the cart would depend that hill at a faster rate than normal; now applying the laws of trajectory to all of that and Spike instantly saw where the cart was going to hit.

The cart would roll off that hill flying upwards for a few seconds, once it had landed the cart would actually do a few rolls but the path it was on...

"Diamond Tiara!" Spike shouted and ran after the filly whose hooves were frozen to the ground. There she was staring death right in the face and now she was to scared to move, she didn't know what was wrong with her her mind was screaming at her body to move and yet her body refused to respond. The cart was barreling closer and closer every second that passed by and here she was unable to do anything even as death was about to claim her... At least that's what it tried to do and failed.

"Get out of the way dumb ass!" Spike shouted as he pushed his friend out of the way, Diamond Tiara gasped as she felt her body being pushed away from the cart.

It was almost like it as in slow motion as the pony's body glided through the air, the cart continued to mercilessly hurl itself towards the dragon that was still in the path of the cart, said dragon gasped in surprise as his selfless act finally played out in his head. He knew that from how fast the cart was moving that getting out of the way was imply not likely. The reasons why is because just the other day his scales had molted and without them he was no doubt going to take a full force hit from that cart in the position he is now, but he was still going to try and get away from the cart and survive the impact-

At that moment the cart had finally reached its prey, almost like a bull rushing towards a red cape with the intent to destory. Spike's body was hit full force by the cart, knocking the wind out of him in an instant and sending his body flying through the air as if someone had uppercutted him and he was rolling mid air. The ponies around him could only look on in terror as the young drake's body flew, he had to admit it in these last few moments he had that watching them be worried for his safety like this was somewhat bittersweet as he knew that the second his body would land on the ground it would all be over. Yet despite this the ponies were all staring at him hoping that he would survive, even ponies that didn't even know the dragon at all were staring.

'I guess... that you don't need to be friends with someone to hope they can survive...' Those were Spike's finaly thoughts as his small body hit the ground with a loud and deafening 'THUD' and bounced as his bones cracked on the inside. He couldn't help but yell out in pure agony as he slid across the ground for a few short moments before finally it stopped and the young drake sat there lying down on the ground motionless...




{Present Time}

"Huh.." Spike commented as he looked at the ground where his body had made impact, one of his spikes had fallen off his original body from the moment his back connected with the ground. So it was easy to identify thats where his body landed with that loud thud, that and the small streak of blood on the ground and dirt as if something forced its way through made it even more obvious now thathe was looking at it from a different angle.

"So I sacrificed my life for a filly I barely knew besides her being a bully? …...is this it?" Spike asked himself as he sat down with a depressing tone as he watched the ponies half-heartidly try and go back to their day but the accident that occurred moments before made it simply impossible.

"So thats the end? I am roadkill?" He asked himself wondering if anyone would indeed answer before he got a sudden thought.

"But if that's me with the hospital ponies? Then how am I here?...unless... I TURNED INTO A GHOST!?" Spike shouted not caring about how loud he was since the ponies couldn't see or hear him at the moment.

He did not expect to hear clapping from behind him.

Spike turned his head to the source of the noise so fast that he felt a few bones crack slightly. Well he techincally doesn't have bones anymore but whatever, his young eyes widened once he saw that there were two individuals looking at him, one of which he knew well.

This pony was known as an alicorn her fur was as dark as the midnight sky, and so were the wings she had on her sides that displayed an aura of elagance that would take decades to match. The horn seemed so very sharp and stiff that it looked like it was ready to pierce a hole through anything, her blue eyes shimmered with kidness as much as the strange mark of a moon with a few black blots behind it did. Her hair though made her seem so very radiant as it always moved even though she was merely standing upon the air rather then walking on it let alone the ground. Spike knew her as Princess Luna, the guardian of the moon that watches over the night and one of the two princesses that have ruled Equestria for years together.

The other individual looked like she did not even belong there at all, in fact she looked surprisingly human I say surprisingly because even I do not know her species. In fact I will call her human because she looked exactly like a human woman would with her long blue hair pulled up into a ponytail and purple eyes. Her clothing consisted of an light-pink kimono with a white obi sash on it, and her skin was the same color you would expect form any kind of anime girl would have. The only other thing that was noteworthy about her was the fact she was riding on a paddle of sorts; Spike was actually somewhat afraid to ask what it was for.

It also didn't help the fact that Princess Luna appeared to be more see-through at the moment and the human was merely looking on and clapping her hands as if Spike had won the game.

"Bingo you won the main prize!~"

Already Spike felt like he was going to have a panic attack from the stress of the situation.
