It has been three years since Spike and Tirek escaped from Tartarus and their whereabouts remained unknown. Not even with all the power Princess Celestia and Luna held could locate them, but that didn't stop them from trying.
“Your highness! I'm sorry, but the search was a failure again.” Shining Armor told Princess Celestia while shaking his head.
“It is okay. I'm sorry for overworking you and your squad. Please have you and your subordinates take the night off.” Princess Celestia spoke as she stood up from her throne.
“Yes, your highness! Thank you.” Shining Armor bowed before leaving.
"I wonder how Lulu's doing?" Celestia thought as her horn glowed brightly, teleporting her into her dimension where she is able to watch all past events of her followers.
“Where art thou....Where art thou!?” An exhausted dark blue alicorn stood in front of several magical TV monitors that showed all of the inhabitants that existed within Equestria. Her eyes were very baggy and red, and her mane laid flat down her back, no longer having that ethereal glow. She squeezed her wrist tightly in a failed attempt to stir her from her creeping sleep. “We failed... again...”
“Luna, you need to get some sleep. When was the last time you went to bed?” Celestia asked as she approached Luna from behind as she kept scanning the magic monitors.
“I can't sleep sister...” Luna turned from the monitor to look at Celestia. “How can I sleep, knowing that Spike and even worse, Tirek are out in the world, doing who knows what... It's been three years since their escape and their location still alludes us.”
“I know... I feel the same, but if we can't locate them through dreams or through these monitors then it means that they... are no longer in Equestria.”
“I have increased the security on the borders of the country, so if they were to be seen, we would know, but there is only so much we can do. That dragon, I can't believe he would do such a thing. I thought him living among ponies would mean his draconic urges would be dulled down. I guess I was wrong. We all were...”
“I understand Luna, but if Spike were to return, we would know,” Celestia said as she placed a hand on her sister's shoulder. “Come on, time for bed. And besides, you need to be well rested for the upcoming wedding. We must make preparations.”
“You don't have to treat me as a filly, sister. I-” Luna yawned deeply then lowered her head. "Fine, I shall rest. Good night sister.” Luna's horn glowed a sparkling blue and she teleported away in a midnight flash.
Celestia stood in the center of her monitors, preparing to leave until one particular monitor caught her attention.
Princess Celestia stood in front of a table that had a large purple egg with darker spots covering it. A smile crept on her face as she prepared to use her magic on it.
“Sister, are you certain you didn't want to leave that egg where it was?"
“Yes Luna, this poor egg was left out in the cold. No one to take of it. No one to fill this unborn child with love."
“I understand your need to guide and nurture Tia, but this is a dragon's egg. Dragons are prone to greed and destruction. Do you think you can change that?"
“Yes, I do. And if things work out, this child could be the bridge between both races and help be a beacon of peace. Now please sister, I must concentrate.” Celestia's horn started to glow as bright as the sun, energy surging off of her horn.
Luna covered her eyes as Celestia's magic shot from her horn and hit the egg dead on. Soon the egg burst open and from it a purple dragon with small green spikes laid there, stretching.
"Aww so cute." Celestia cooed as she lowered her magic to look at the baby dragon, who looked around then started sucking on his tail.
“What shall you name him?” Luna asked as she approached the dragon.
Celestia reached out and picked the dragon up and held him close to her bosom, paying close attention to the green spikes that acted as hair on his head. “I will name him... Spike.”
Luna shook her head and spoke in a sarcastic tone. “That sounds very creative sister. How do you do it?”
“Hush sister, this name suits him well.” Celestia smiled as she watched the baby dragon suck on his tail more. “You will be the jewel of Equestria, Spike. I know you will bring great things to everyone around, and create an everlasting bond.”
As Celestia watched the events of her past she felt tears go down her cheek. ”Spike, where did I go wrong? I really should have left you where you laid. I should have realized you were a danger to my ponies. As you grew, so did your powers. Fighting King Sombra should have been an alarm to me, but I saw you as my son, as family and not as a threat... Next time we meet, I will have to do what needs to be done for Equestria. Spike... please forgive me.”
Far Away
A huge explosion occurred sending powerful shockwaves through the air, creating ash and smoke then leaving red and green flames on the ground.
“Good Spike! Your mastery of fire has greatly improved over the years. But how will you do against this?” Tirek’s horns glowed as red energy sparked around it like electricity as a big orb of red magical energy fired from the center space between them at the dragon, only for a green wave of fire to slice through it, cutting the energy blast in half. The separated energy sphere then hit the ground behind the dragon, causing an explosion. “You're getting stronger day by day. You will soon be ready to erase your past!” Tirek was much stronger and bigger than he was three years ago.
“It's all thanks to you Lord Tirek. Without you, I would have never had gotten this strong.” As the smoke cleared Spike stood there, wearing a black robe. His body grew much bigger, even outperforming Celestia, but with a slight difference. His muscles were more defined, thanks to his training over the years, giving his body a natural proportion.
Tirek smirked at the compliment then replied with another blast of magic, this hit Spike dead on, or would have if Spike didn't hold up his claws to block it. The energy started to burn slightly at his hands as he held the blast back. The force of the energy causing would have made Spike burn terribly by now, but because of his dragon nature and tough scales he was fine. The force made him grind against the stone floor below his feet as he was pushed back.
“I can do this! Just like before!!!” From both of Spike's claws came green fire that swirled around Tirek's energy blast and in an instant it vanished. It reappeared behind him and made its way towards the stone wall behind them, creating a powerful explosion that sent rubble and smoke flying. Spike then inspected his hands and saw the slight magical burns as his wounds slowly started to heal, thanks to one of his magical dragon powers. It would have been worse if it wasn't for his dragon scales.
“Your powers are greatly improving Spike." Tirek crossed his arms and grew a smirk. "Hmph, how ironic, the transportation magic that allows you to send objects across any distance, that was used to send letters between ponies will now be used to destroy them!” Spike turned to Tirek to listen more, he grew to enjoy Tirek's belittlement of his once so called mother and his friends. “Spike, your transportation powers was limited because of that spell Celestia placed on you. Your power was tamed to only transport objects between her and Twilight. But now that her magic is gone, you have taken your powers further, much more than I thought you would in just three years. Your magical power is boiling.”
“Thanks.” Spike stretched, causing a few of his bones to make pop and crack then started to walk off towards the exit of their base. “I'm taking a break for today. That's enough training.”
“Right, you should. We must collect more unicorns that exist outside of Equestria before we confront the princesses. I have a location I will be heading too soon, called Maremiscyra.”
“Maremiscyra? Isn't that place just a myth?” Spike asked quizzically.
“Yes, to those who exist now in this time frame. But thousands of years ago, Maremiscyra was well known. Filled with warrior mares which I know will be a great power boost, but the rest of their history and knowledge is unnecessary. They are nothing but food to me.”
Spike nodded and walked off not responding, going to his room to get a new black robe to put on to replace the worn out one he wore during his training with Tirek. After he was finished he walked out of the room and entered the main room that had a massive purple crystal orb in the center of the floor with purple smoke swerving around in it. The room was also lit with torches and doorways led to different locations within the base. Spike closed his eyes briefly then opened them as he held out his hand, creating a green flame that started to swirl around his body very fast.
“Where are you going, Spike? Tirek asked, but knew as he saw the look on Spike's face.
“I'm going to reconfirm my rage, reminding myself of my ambition.” And with that last sentence, Spike vanished from the lair.
Welp, they're all fucked if they come to Equestria.
Spike and Tirek=Scott Pilgrim
Equestria=The World
Yep. I just made that comparison. Don't judge me.
Good to have you back!
YES! YES! YES!
Hmm maybe you should call it origins because it shows spike origins. Just a thought.
You accused Spike of something horrendous that he DIDN'T do numbnuts, THAT'S where you went wrong. Maybe they'll realize that when Spike and Tirek are burning everything around them to the ground because of their bigotry.
The threat of Spike Stu is still very real. There's little to indicate it won't go down that route.
I'm still giving it the benefit of the doubt since it's only chapter two, but... I'm losing hope fast.
6860583
Why are you losing hope fast?
6860628
The first chapter is still Twilight and her friends piling on Spike in a way that seems very OOC for them, like the story is trying its best to make us hate them so we can cheer for Badass Spike doing horrible things later on, not because it makes sense for them to act this way. So, nothing changed about the setup.
Remember 6502856 linking the review of The Rise of Spike The Dragon? He was doing so as a warning example. It has a similar premise, but the beginning here is even more over-the-top, and the timeskip brings us to a point where Spike is now a tall, brooding, and angsty. He even wears black robes. That would be fine for an antagonist, but again, the first chapter had the Mane Six and the princesses acting so horribly that I don't think that's what the story's going for.
I'm losing hope that it'll be different from the other "Spike becomes badass to get revenge on the horrible/evil/bigoted ponies who treated him like sh*t for no reason" stories.
6859313 You're so right buddy.
6860819 He can also go into detail about why that also makes them hypocrites.
6860776 Then stop reading.
6860998 True.
6861055 I'll tell you though I'm definitely looking forward to more of this.
6861554 You're not the only one. And I remember that there was a story like this one but it isn't 'The Rise of Spike the Dragon'.
6860776
I see, well I have an explanation for that. It's coming.
6861603 A Dragon's Requiem?
6862090 Yes, that was it's name.
6862412 That still here?
6864562 Yes but it's cancelled since the Author didn't got the time to write the last chapter.
6864685 So it's nearly complete but short a chapter?
6865250 Yes.
6865257 Oh I see it now. Yeah I've read and I am disappointed it was stopped one chapter away from being complete. Now THAT'S a Spike Revenge story there.
6868961 I agree.
6861670 Please update
6885338 Hope he keeps to the quicker updates like he spoke about.
6517153 Another same constance lover, take that crap elsewhere.
6949164
Yeah that would be good but if that turns out to be the case how do you think everyone will take it
I can see Spike completly flipping shit and killing the bitches but what about Celestia and the others. If Blueblood,Twi,and Rarity were the true culprits how do you think the others would react
i hope spike not only kill them but eat them also It would be fitting or throws them into Tartarus that'll get a few laughs from me
img06.deviantart.net/8769/i/2011/267/f/9/so_much_fun_by_xxvampire_girlxx-d4arwdo.jpg
6963975 Rainbow dash and applejack would be seriously crossed, pinkie would go full pinkamena diane pie on them, Fluttershy would a strong mix of guilt and seething anger, princess Luna would feel more guilt that anger, But princess Celestia, a Lifetime sentence to Tartarus with no chance of coming back would be too good for them in her eyes.
I do hope Blueblood is an innocent bystander to this an unknowing pawn to Twilight and Rarity Lust
6997184
What about Spike? I am hoping see an epic duel of fates between brother and sister(let's face it Twily is Spikes sis) now that would be cool seeing Spike and Teilight get into an insane ass sword fight in the end. If anything I think bassacly what you said except Twilight possibly dying by Spikes hand
6997898 You already said that perfectly.
Another thing to think about is twilight and rarity themselves. While I imagine twilight being ruthless and not caring about spike. Rarity could felt both guilt and regret for what they have done, which only get stronger as the story go on. To the point were knowing that their live will never return to the way they were. She tell the truth and accepting her fate, or commits suicide, or maybe twilight kills her to keep rarity from exposing the truth, and make look like spike did it.
6998327
That would add up it would stick closer to Raritys character one thing I'm hoping for is a ultra awesome duel of fates Spike Vs Twilight
Pony Vs Dragon
Goddess Vs Man
Day Vs Night
Brother Vs Sister and it would either end with Spike showing twilight no mercy and killing the bitch or showing mercy and handing twilight over to celestia as for his relationship with the rest of the mane 6 well it would be questionable because if Spikes own sister betrayed him then what's to say anyone else might he would lose all trust in anybody. As that one guy from X Files would say
6998962 and what would become of spike at that point. he no longer has a sis to stay with his relationship with the rest of the mane 6 is questionable and he and Celestia.
6998995
Leave Equestria for good? Join his own kind i guess
Hmm... I have a funny feeling that the next chapter, or at least a future chapter will play out something like this:
*Ponyville is on fire as Spike gazes upon the blaze, the Mane 6 approach him*
Spike: *turns to face the Mane 6, who gasp in shock at the cold fury in his eyes* Well, look who it is. I haven't seen you girls for... how long has it been? Let me think, there was a murder, a set-up, and oh, that's right! You left me to die. Now you probably don't remember it exactly that way, but who cares? I'm out, and I've got a new boss now. You six no longer mean anything to me.
Anyone want to pick up from there?
7002304
And then Spike charges at the main 6 to engage them in mortal combat that will decide the fate of Equestria.
Far Away on a mountain Tierk watches and laughs. "That's it Spike, show no mercy.
"SPIKE!!!!" The Main 6 charge at Spike with Rarity and Twilight charging their horns.
"DIE!!!!" Spike shows his claws with green emerald fire covering them with the same fire spilling out of his mouth as he charges at them with all his rage.
I LOVE this story best one I seen in a long time
7015010
*fast forward to later that night, after the Mane 6, although badly bruised, burned, and injured, mange to drive Spike off. Twilight is having trouble sleeping as this keeps playing over and over in her mind (except it's in Spike's voice)*
The main thing I want to see is spike fight celestia and hopfully win
Is spike going to find out who framed him or no?
I did not get it plz tell me dude plz
7068623
What don't you understand?
I'm just asking is someone going to find out who framed spike yes or no?
7068674
Oh okay got ya
I have no idea
