The 'Explosion'

Ponies crowded the building, the guards obviously blocking them with spears and yellow tape. "Citizens, stand back! That's an order!" One guard yelled. The ponies didn't care; mares and stallions yelling if their sons or daughters, items, or other accessories were alright. But Ms. Cake and Mr. Carrot Cake were having problems of their own. "Where's Pinkie?! She was in there when we left!!" Mr. Cake yelled with anger.

A guard stood tall with him, obviously snout-to-snout with each other. "All citizens are fine, Mr.! We have the situation under control!!"

"Like hay you do! Let me see her!!"

"I said she's fine!!"

"Guards..."

All ponies stop as a earth pony in green came with. Everything about this pony was green. She had green fur, green eyes, green hair, but the only thing different was her armor. Her armor was golden, and it matched her well with her female structure. But she had a all-silver samurai sword. Her mane covered her right eye, but every pony could see it: It was golden. "Fellow citizens, I here to say that every pony that was in that building is alive, but minor concussions or injuries are found. Please proceed to your regularly scheduled lives." She says.

"But what about my baby?!"

"My bag?!"

"Pinkie!!"

"I said proceed." She ordered once more. The ponies mumbled upon themselves before leaving to do their jobs. She sighed and walked up to a random guard as she said, "Report."

"An explosion happened, ma'am. No bomb was found."

"Of course the bomb wouldn't be found, soilder!! It exploded!!"

"No, ma'am, the bomb wasn't found. No traces of dust anywhere."

"Was it magic?"

"No ma'am. No traces of magic was found."

"Thunder?"

"No schedule of rainy showers or thunder anywhere."

She was shocked. No traces of anything? Then how did it occur? No way Discord did it, he's on vacation. And anything else is out of the question. She growled and stomped on the ground. "I'll...be on my way Ma'am." He said before running off somewhere. She sat down, trying to think of the possibilities, but her mind clicked when she found the answer. "No...no. It couldn't be the New Player, couldn't it? He couldn't have done this. But, he did win against the Head of the Monopoly Board." She mumbled under her breath, before deciding to call a guard.

"Guard! Find the assistant of Princess Twilight Sparkle. Round the guards up and search for him!" She said. The guard nodded before running into the broken house. She sighed before flicking her head. "That little squirt better be ready for a match." She said before she pulled out her M.E Card.

Spike woke up, but not in the hospital, nor in Twilight's, but in a fancy bedroom. The floor was golden, nice and neat furniture was found, and their was columns on the walls. His headache rushed in, and his memories were fuzzy. "What happened?" He said to himself.

He looked to his right to see Violet in the fancy bed, asleep and unharmed. He got off the bed and slowly left the room. The hallways were like the bedroom, full of columns and furniture leaned on them. Spike to a right and heard the water running and a soft musical tune. He followed it to see the Cat washing the dishes. She turned, and smiled. "Hello, sleepy head!" She said, before turning back.

"Hey, what happened back at Sugarcube Corner?" Spike asked, still rubbing his head in pain.

"You saved me, that's what happened."

"Huh?"

"Well, just as I heard you say attack for 35k, another Player decided to ruin our fun. Luckily just as you blacked out from the explosion, Violet decided to take care of the Player, long enough for us to escape. If you hadn't said anything, we would've died from the explosion itself."

"I-I saved you?" Spike asked. Not what I had in mind, but...

His thought trailed off as she came towards him. "I thank you for it, Mad Hatter. Actually, I didn't get your name yet. What was it?" She asked.

"S-Spike." He stuttered. Cat hummed to herself, before shrugging. "I can't figure a way to thank you." She said, before turning to him.

"But, what happened to Violet?" Spike ignored her question, and Cat giggled. She petted his head before saying, "Spike, she's in a healing coma. What every pony weapon has to do." She said.

"Healing coma?" He asked.

"If your familiar is a pony, sometimes, it sacrifices it's health for it's Master. Look, your wounds are healed." She said, pointing at his arm. He stared, but he couldn't find a single trace of a wound. He shook his head before answering, "But why would she do that for me?"

"Because she cares about you." Cat said, before turning back to the dishes.

"But I care for her, too!" Spike said before running towards the sink.

"Then I recommend putting her in your M.E., because it seems like your friends are in danger, mostly the yellow one." She said.

"H-how--?!"

"My familiars a cat, each familiar gives a Master an advantage. I have nine lives, and my hearing is well."

Spike was astonished. It was unbelievable, unrealistic even. It's like she knew the future on the back of her hoof. His shock brought him back to reality and his feet were ready to go. "Fluttershy! I'll see you later Cat!" He said, but before he could take off, a hoof rested on his shoulder, and a peck on the cheek made him blush.

"That's payback for making me pay the hospital bill." She whispered through his ear. She let go of him and smiled. "Make sure to visit me once in a while, Spike!" She yelled.

Spike looked back and nodded before leaving. He ran out the front and yelled out the words Return!! as he found his way out. He checked his M.E. Card to show Violet sleeping in her void. He ran home to find Twilight and others all worried. "Spike! Where were you?!" Twilight asked.

"I got the news late! And I've been blasted from the sudden explosion since I was there too--" Spike was interrupted as Fluttershy tackled him and hugged him. She gently rubbed his head and Spike's eyes rolled in circles as she answered. "Oh Spike! I was so worried!" She said.

"Wait, where's Pinkie?" Spike asked.

"Both the Crusaders and Pinkie is at the hospital. We're about to visit them now." Twilight says.

"Wait, the Crusaders were there too?"

"Yeah, why?"

"No reason."

Spike couldn't help but face palm. He knew that they would spy on him, but he didn't do anything. But it doesn't matter now, protect Fluttershy. That's it. "But, let's visit Pinkie and the others. I'm sure their bored there." Spike said.

"Yeah! C'mon Twi'!" Rainbow said, before flying out the door. Twilight sighed, but Applejack nodded. "Alright then, let's go!" She said.

They all walked out of Twilight's house and to the hospital, but on the way there, Spike couldn't help but look at Fluttershy. He was scared she would know what's really going on.

But it's not going to happen any time soon...right?

"How the HAY did you miss your target, Cell?!" A voice yelled, a hoof slamming down on the desk. The pony flinched, from the sudden boom in the room. "I didn't think he know my attack. It seemed like he was prepared for it.

"How can you be so calmed about this?! This guys a threat!! He beated the Head of the Monopoly board!! Do you know what'll happen if Sami found about him?" He asked.

"You wanted me to assassinate him, right?"

"That's correct."

"Then if Sami found out, she'd probably challenge him from the sudden explosion I caused. Theirs no way he'd win against a samurai like her."

The pony scratched the back of his neck before sighing. "Fine. But if he wins--!"

"He won't. Not even a newbie like him can beat a legendary. It takes time and skill. He lacks both." She said and stood up from the chair. She walked to the door, and looked back. "Prepare for a challenge tomorrow." She said, before leaving through the door.

The pony sighed from his desk and looked out the window. Rubbing the back of the neck in question.

"Wonder when that record will be beaten..."
