After Spike and Smolder had this run in what could be Spike's long lost mom, they headed back to Twilight's castle quickly to help her recover so they could get some answers with the others there for support. Spike still had a lot to process knowing that this is actually his mother, there wasn't anything to say she wasn't, she looked almost exactly like him aside from a few extra battle scars.
He just couldn't believe it, after so long, going through most of his life without ever even knowing if she was alive or not, she just suddenly turns up, looking for him. It made Spike just wonder on how this all really happened, if she really does still care for him, how did she lose him when he was an egg? What happened to his father? And where was she after so long?
Spike just didn't know how to feel about this, he felt both happy, sad, worried, and anxious about all that's happening, even with Smolder's support along with everyone else, he doesn't know if it'll be better until he properly gets answers, and something tells him, that he soon will.
Twilight was currently in the library again looking over some more books for studying, she was still waiting for Spike and Smolder to get back after they went out to help Spike practice with his flying, she didn't know what was taking them so long, she may just be a bit impatient, but something's starting to worry her, and she doesn't know why.
"Where are they? they should've been back by now?" Twilight asked curiously while she landed back down after flying through the place a bit, she didn't know if they were alright or not, and something was telling her that she should check to see if they're okay.
But as Twilight was about to leave in order to find them, the doors to the library suddenly burst open which knocked more books down upon the loud impact which surprised Twilight.
"Spike? Smolder?" Twilight asked with shock as she saw the two dragons running into the library quickly, they were both taking heavy breaths while they held something on their backs, it was a cloaked figure who she couldn't she the face off, and she was already worried the moment she saw this.
"Spike? Smolder? What happened? Is everything alright?" Twilight asked with worry while they finally reached her, Spike was trying to catch his breath after all the flying they had to do to get back here, and carrying his mother with him didn't make things any better.
"Twilight.. Smolder and I.. we.. we found someone.. someone.. extremely important.." Spike said in between breaths which worried her instantly.
"What? Who? what happened?" Twilight asked as she noticed the cloaked figure on their backs, but Smolder didn't want to waste time, and she went to just show her it.
"Just.. see it for yourself Twilight.." Smolder advised before she pulled off the hood for Twilight to see, Twilight had a worried look as she came up to this person to see it's face, but when she did, she gasped with complete shock with what she saw. She saw that this was a dragon that looked just like Spike, only that this dragon looked so much someone they'd never expect to meet.
"Spike.. is.. this?" Twilight asked with a concerned look as she saw Crystals face, Spike finally caught his breath fully again and tried calming down, but the sight of his mother being here is still something to process for all of them.
"Y.. Yeah, it is.. she's.. my.. mother.. we found her near the woods when we went out for a bit, she passed out possibly from exhaustion, having so much to process with finding her.. real son.. and it may be for other reasons too." Spike explained as he didn't know how to properly explain this.
"Yeah.. she said her name is.. Crystal, she said she really is Spike's mother, and looking at how similar they look, it could just be true that she really is.." Smolder added while she stretched her arms a bit too.
Twilight looked back at Crystal with worry, this was not how she expected her day to happen so suddenly, to know this could be Spike's real mother, it raised so many questions she had for her that she needed to know, but seeing how exhausted and somewhat injured she is right now, they need to help her first.
"I'll.. send a letter to Celestia and the other mane 6, we should all be here to meet her properly. Can you take her to one of our guest rooms Spike? I'll get some medical stuff we need to help her." Twilight asked which Spike quickly complied with.
"Sure thing Twilight.." Spike replied as he picked up her body again by himself, and before Smolder could even offer to help him, Spike quickly carried Crystal off to a spare room with all the strength he had, which did surprise her a bit from seeing it.
"Spike.." Smolder said with worry before she turned to Twilight, she was quickly writing a letter to not just Celestia, but the other mane 6 to come up and meet her here, this was an important moment for them all, and they should all be here for this. It only took a few more seconds for Twilight to finish up the letter, and she used a spell that sent it away in an instant, making Twilight sigh with relief from it.
"Alright, they should be here soon, it should give us enough time to process what's happening right now.." Twilight said as she was trying to calm down, and Smolder was getting more worried for them as things went on.
"Twilight.. I know you and Spike are worried about all of this, and believe me, I am too with this, but we need to take time with these things, try and calm down and properly plan this out, I know we have a ton of questions for Spike's.. mother, but we all need time to relax if we're gonna go through this, alright?" Smolder asked which Twilight already knew, but it's best she gets a little assurance right now too.
"Don't worry Smolder, I know. Let's just wait for the others to arrive, and we'll talk things out with this.. Crystal. She needs her rest too, and we need to plan this out.. come on Smolder..." Twilight advised as she was making her way out of the library to go to the main doors, Smolder just followed behind because there wasn't much she could do right now, she only hoped that when Spike's mother wakes up, it won't be some sick prank.
A Few Hours Later...
After Spike had helped put his mother in one of the guest rooms to help her rest, Spike had met up with Twilight and Smolder again to wait for the others to arrive. He was really worried on what to do right now, this all is just happening so sudden to him, he doesn't know how to process it. Twilight was right next to him as they waited at the main doors with Smolder right next to them, and they both saw how worried Spike is right now.
Twilight knew he had a lot going through his head, and she thought she should try and help him the support he needs to help him.
"Spike, I know this is.. a lot for us right now, but I'm sure when she wakes up, we'll all be able to talk about this in a natural way." Twilight assured while she looked worried herself.
"I don't know Twilight, this is just.. so much for me right now, I.. I never thought I'd even meet my real mother or father, and to suddenly meet my mother out there like this, knowing she really was searching for me.. it's just.. so much for me.." Spike said with worry as he sat on the floor to calm himself down.
"I know, it's.. rough for all of us right now, I never thought we'd have to go through this kind of talk so soon, but after all we've been through, it only was a matter of time before this would come.. do you.. think you can handle all of this Spike? I myself still don't know how to feel about this, but it's you I'm worried about the most Spike." Twilight replied while she sat down next to him, and Smolder just stood next to them to try and assist in whatever way she can.
"I just.. don't know how to handle this Twilight, to have this happen so suddenly, I never thought I'd really meet my mother after all this time.. given how long I've been with you.. I thought she was.. gone... I don't know what to feel about this either.. it's just so.. conflicting.." Spike replied while he looked at his own claws, Smolder sighed hearing this from them both and tried joining in on this to help them both.
"Guys, I know it's a lot, but we need to just take our time with this, when the others arrive, we should just try and take things slow and explain this calmly, we won't get anywhere if we just rush through things, alright?" Smolder asked once again since they were still having trouble with all of this, but it's understandable with why this is.
After hearing those words from Smolder, Spike tried taking some more deep breaths to calm down, despite how much he had to ask his mother, he needs to be calm about it, and he made sure to take that in the best he can.
"Your right Smolder.. sorry we're just.. going through a lot.." Spike said regretfully which she didn't mind at all.
"It's alright you two, let's just wait it out, I'm sure the others will be here soon." Smolder assured once again which finally calmed the two down.
But as they just finished up talking about this, they heard the doors open up suddenly, and they had an idea on why that was. They turned to the main doors ahead of them, and saw Celestia, Luna, and the other mane 6 had finally made it here. They all looked concerned on why they were called so suddenly, and judging by Spike and his groups own expressions, it may be for something worrying.
"Twilight, you called us here?" Celestia greeted while all of them came directly to them with respect.
"Yeah, I'm sorry for calling all of you here so suddenly, but just today, Spike and Smolder found something really important..." Twilight answered with a nervous look which concerned the whole group.
"Where were ya two? Were you out helping Spike get a hang on his wings?" Applejack asked looking at Smolder who nodded being asked that.
"Yeah, we were just near the forest by the time we were training, and that's when we ran into.. someone..." Smolder answered while she rubbed her neck.
"Really? Who did you run into?" Rainbow Dash asked while the three of them stayed silent, and they didn't know how to tell them who they met..
"Why are you all so silent, what's wrong?" Luna asked with worry while Spike looked down and sighed knowing he had to tell them this.
"The person me and Smolder ran into was my...." Spike couldn't even finish before a loud crash was heard followed by a roar from the distance which scared the group who heard it.
"Where's my baby?!" A voice asked with anger while it was stomping around the place to find her child, Spike's eyes widened in fear and they instantly knew who that was.
"Oh no, she's already awake! I'll be right back!" Spike shouted as he quickly went to calm his mother down while the mane 6 and princesses were just left confused.
"Wait.. did that voice say.. my baby?" Fluttershy asked with worry which made them all realize who they were trying to tell them about..
"Oh my.. gosh..." Rarity said with a gasp as they saw Spike running down the halls quickly to prevent any further accidents.
Spike quickly rushed down the halls in order to reach his mother who's most likely awake by now, but he didn't expect her to react so violently knowing that he's not here, it could've made her think it was some sort of sick prank or joke. And Spike needed to calm her down before something bad happens.
Spike soon turned another corner and he soon found his mother had finally woken up, she seemed to have burst down the door to the guest room she was put in to rest, and she was now looking around any other room she could find, she looked really upset at the sight of her child, him, not being with her, and Spike quickly ran up to her to calm her down.
"Wait! Mom, stop please!" Spike shouted just before she burst down another door, she quickly recognized that voice she heard and turned to Spike who was making his way to her, her rage slowly turned to concern and worry seeing him here, and he finally made his way up to her to calm her down.
"Mom.. A..." Spike tried to ask if she's alright, but Crystal didn't even let him finish before she suddenly grabbed him and pulled him into a tight hug.
"Son, your okay! What happened? Where are we? Are you hurt?!" Crystal asked with a worried look while she was inspecting all over him for any injuries.
"No.. mom... I'm fine, your in my friends home, a castle. Me and Smolder brought you here to recover after you blacked out, we just didn't think you'd.. react like this once you woke up.." Spike answered which made her realize what she did, and she soon had a look of guilt as she realized what's happened.
"I'm.. I'm really sorry my Emerald.. it's just.. I didn't want to think it was a dream, I wanted to believe I really found you in those woods, and to know it's all real.. it just.. gives me so much relief.. I'm sorry for the way I reacted.. I.. tend to freak out when things like this happen.." Crystal admitted which Spike could understand.
"It's alright.. mom.. I know your just worried for me.." Spike replied as he started to tear up, and he soon hugged her back after taking it all in.
Spike still couldn't believe it, this was his real mother, right in front of him. She looked exactly like him, there was no mistaking it. To know she's still alive after all these years, and really was searching for him, it fills him with such joy and sadness he's never felt in his life. He felt happy to know she was really out there searching for him, but was sad to know how long she was gone, and he didn't know why it took so long for her to find him.
"Emerald.. are you okay?" Crystal asked with a worried look while Spike looked up at her with tears in his eyes, he could see tears coming from her too knowing she's really found him, and he just couldn't believe it's true.
"I'm.. okay it's just.. I can't believe it's really you.. you really are alive.. I.. didn't think I'd get to meet you after so long... I thought.. you or my father may be.. gone.. and I'd never get answers to what happened with you.." Spike answered sadly which made her feel awful knowing how much he's missed her.
"I know my child.. I know.. I could hardly believe it myself.. but now that I have you back.. I promise I'll answer all the questions you have.. It's the least I can do to make up for how long I've been.. gone.." Crystal replied with a regretful look as well.
As the two dragons were hugging eachother, they soon heard footsteps approaching them, and they soon regained focus again and turned to see that Twilight, Smolder and the others had caught up with them. All of the mane 6 and princesses were shocked to see Crystal here, and given they're resemblance, it's clear on who she is, and they couldn't believe it.
"Spike.. is.. everything alright? Who is this?" Twilight asked while everyone looked at Crystal, she herself wanted to know who these ponies are, and it's best that they finally start explaining things.
"Girls.. I want all of you to meet.. Crystal.. she's.. my mother. Crystal.. this is Twilight, and her friends, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie. And the two large ones are..." Spike was introducing each person to Crystal, but she already knew who Celestia and Luna were with what she's heard of them
"Celestia and Luna, princesses of the Sun and Moon." Crystal answered respectfully which surprised them for a moment, but they did feel a bit glad knowing she knows who they are.
"So.. do you.. mind having us ask a few questions? I'm sure you have some for us as too, it's best we all try and talk this out." Celestia asked which everyone could agree too.
"Yes, I believe that is a good choice. Is there a place where we can all talk over this?" Crystal asked while she looked around the large crystal castle around them, and Smolder knew where to go.
"There's a place where we can talk, come on guys." Smolder insisted while she was walking down the halls to the meeting room, it was the perfect place for them to talk, and everypony and dragon quickly followed behind to answer things.
Spike could see Crystal was concerned on all that's happening right now, and he didn't blame her, while they had a lot of questions for her, she certainly has a lot too. And Spike only hoped this would turn out well at least.
"Hey.. mom.. are you alright?" Spike asked nervously while she was keeping her focus on the halls ahead of her.
"I'm okay.. son, I just need time to think over this, I'm sure we all do." Crystal replied which Spike could agree with.
"Yeah.. we all do.. just know that I promise it'll be alright in the end mom, we'll talk this out, and hopefully we'll decide what to do next." Spike prayed while she looked at him one again, and hoped that was true for them.
"I hope so too my child, I have ideas of my own, but we must discuss this at once.." Crystal replied while they were heading through the halls, Spike didn't know how they were gonna handle things now that Crystal is here, hopefully she can understand why Spike was raised by ponies, and they all can understand how he got here in the first place. Spike just hopes what comes next, it'll all turn out good in the end..
Pretty nice introductions
Emotions are going to be wild in the future chapters.
Quite the wild introduction of Spike's mom to the pony crew, can't wait to see how everything develops from here on out!
Is the main villain of this story going to be a dragon?
11955531
I don't think I may even have a villain here, just a wholesome story where Spike reconnects with his mother. But I might think of something, but I think we can both agree I'd make it better then either Sludge, or Cozy Glow was in the actual season with the right effort and story behind him. I'm sorry if that's upsetting to some, but you can't deny that Cozy Glow was barely anything of a character to herself, and a villain that should be cared about.
Still appplied yo waiting “ show don’t tell “ that the advice I have.
