The Dragon Knight of Canterlot City

When winter break was over, Spike and his girls were all back in school, with plenty of stories to tell the rest of their classmates on how their new years was, while leaving out the more personal details.

Spike was walking the hall after class with Thorax and Button, before the three split up to do their own things. Spike spotted his girls relaxing in one of the school's lounge areas and noticed Pinkie had her laptop out with her and Sunset watching the screen as music and singing played.

“Hey, girls.” Spike greeted.

“Hi, Spike.” they greeted back.

“What're you and Sunset watching, Pinkie?” Spike asked leaning over to see the screen.

“Only one of the best pop duos ever!” Pinkie beamed.

Spike gasped, “You don't mean?”

“She sure does.” Sunset confirmed, as Spike looked on screen seeing two girls playing music with one girl rocking guitar, and the other on drums.

“Post Crush?” Spike gasped.

“Ooh.” Drakon said looking intrigued.

“That's right,”Sunset admitted, “There's Kiwi Lollipop.”

“Aka K-Lo!” Pinkie said.

“Who is the cool one.” Sunset continued.

“And Supernova Zap!” Pinkie cheered.

“Aka Su-Z.” Sunset said.

“Is the zany one!” Pinkie finished.

“Oh, believe me I know about them.” Spike admitted.

“It's true. Sometimes I'd hear him sing their songs while he showers.” Drakon explained putting sly smiles on each of the girls faces.

“Drakon!” Spike groaned.

“Anyway,” Sunset continued, “Good news is they're coming here to Canterlot city in less than a week to do a concert after their 'indefinite hiatus'.” she used air quotes.

“Seriously?” Spike gasped.

“It's true.” Twilight confirmed.

“Awesome, isn't it?” Rainbow asked, as she kicked back.

“It sure is.” Spike agreed.

“Thing is, tickets for that event's gonna be selling faster than our family cider.” Applejack said with Apple Bloom nodding.

“And that's saying something.” Rainbow said.

Spike sighed as he looked at the music video of Post Crush play on Pinkie's laptop and thought, 'It's be nice to see a concert by these two at least once in a lifetime. But some things are easier dreamed than done.'

Spike's phone started ringing, and he answered it with Loona appearing on screen, “Hey, Spike!”

“Hi, Loona.” he greeted.

“Are the girls there with you?”

Hearing that, the girls gathered around so Loona could see them with Spike, “We sure are, Loona.” Sweetie Belle answered.

“What's up?” Twilight asked.

“Can you guys come down to the park, there's something I wanna show you in person.” she requested.

“Of course, darling.” Rarity answered.

“We'll be right there.” Spike said, as he and Loona ended their call.

“I wonder what Loona wants?” Fluttershy wondered.

“Only one way to find out.” Scootaloo replied.

“So let's go.” Spike said, as he and the girls left the school to rendezvous with the oldest member of their group.

The group headed all the way to the park and began keeping an eye out for Loona. Soon enough, Rainbow spotted her, “There she is.”

“Yo, Loona!” Spike called, as they hurried over.

“Hi, everyone!” she greeted back.

When the Everfree students got closer they sat around the benches Loona had been waiting for them at, “So, what did you want to show us?” Sunset Shimmer asked.

“Well, have any of you heard that Post Crush is is going to be doing a concert here in the city?” Loona inquired.

“We sure have.” Pinkie confirmed while smiling.

“It's sure to be one big event.” Apple Bloom said.

“At least for those who're lucky enough to get in.” Fluttershy added.

Loona smirked, “Well, ladies, and Spike. Today is your lucky day.”

“What do you mean?” Twilight asked.

Loona reached into her bag and pulled out several concert tickets which brightened the groups faces, especially Sunset and Pinkie's.

“NO WAY!” Pinkie shouted in shock.

“Post Crush tickets?!” Sunset asked excitedly.

“Uh-huh.” Loona nodded.

“Loona, how did you?” Rarity asked surprised.

“My dad has his connections.” Loona explained, as Spike thought to Drakon.

'Yeah, let's just hope it didn't involve offing anybody.'

'You and me both.' Drakon thought back.

“I figured since they are the most popular pop duos ever I felt we should see them in concert together. That is, if you're all interested.” the older girl explained.

“We are!” Sunset and Pinkie exclaimed before calming down after remembering they were in public.

“I mean, we'd be interested.” Sunset answered calmly as Pinkie nodded.

Loona held a chuckle at their earlier display of enthusiasm before turning to the others, “Any other takers?”

“You bet, Loona.” Spike agreed.

“I too wish to see Post Crush perform.” Rarity added.

“Me too.” Sweetie Belle agreed, and soon everyone started to.

“Looks like it's unanimous.” Twilight concluded.

“Great.” Loona replied, as she handed Spike and the girls their tickets while keeping one for herself.

“Oh, I can't wait!” Pinkie cheered.

“Same here.” Spike agreed.

“Hey, since we're all out why don't we grab a coffee and doughnuts?” Twilight offered.

“Sure.” Loona agreed, as they all headed out for it.

Meanwhile in the southern side of the city, inside an abandoned factory were a bunch of motorcycles lined up, and the bikers who rode them which amounted to a whole gang of them. They wore biker jackets with an emblem stitched on back

The bikers were laughing and partying until one of them spoke up, “Storm Riders, listen up!” the bikers ceased their frivolity and looked up at a makeshift stage to see three figures standing before them.

The first was a big guy who had light gray hair and was wearing a dark brown long coat with red outlines, a dark gray shirt that says 'F U', brown pants, and black shoes. Standing at his side was another man who looked well built with dark brown hair. He was wearing a sleeveless short coat, a dark green tank top, and light brown military pants and shoes, and a dog tag. Finally the third was a girl hanging off the second guy. She had red hair with blue steaks tied to pigtails. She was wearing a short sleeved brown jacket, a blue shirt that says 'kiss me', light blue short jeans, red & green stockings and red shoes.

They were Big John, Desertstorm, and Candy Girl, the three leading members of the Storm Riders. Big John who previously addressed the riders continued, “I just received a message from Storm King. He's got a job for us.”

This got the riders attention, as one spoke up, “What's the game?”

“And how's the price?” another asked.

“I assure you all, the price is very high for what he has in mind.” Big John smirked.

“And that would be?”

Candy girl spoke up excitedly, “Oh! Can I tell them? Can I tell them, John? Please let me tell them!”

Big John sighed, “Alright, Candy, you can tell them.”

“Yes!” she cheered, before pulling out a poster of Post Crush, “For those of you who keep up on social media, Post Crush is coming to the city. And Storm King wants us to capture them so we can hold them hostage for a giant price!”

The bikers started looking more intrigued, as Desertstorm spoke, “Storm King is our biggest supporter. And as long as we do jobs right for him our reputation will grow and become even bigger than those Purple Nightmares.”

“Exactly,” Big John agreed, “So prepare yourselves, Storm Riders! We're gonna be rich!” he declared as the Storm Riders cheered.
