The Dragon Knight of Canterlot City
Rescue Post Crush
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIt was the night of the Post Crush concert being held in the park. Spike had arrived with Drakon and looked around seeing the park was closed off for those attending the concert and inside the area were several booths selling various types of foods and souvenirs.
“Boy this place sure is packed.” Drakon noticed.
“What do you expect from a popular duo like Post Crush?” Spike asked rhetorically.
“Valid.”
“Spike!” came Sunset's voice, as he looked over seeing his girlfriends waiting.
“Hi, girls!” Spike called, as he rushed over.
“Can you believe we're really here?” Pinkie asked excitedly.
“I know. After days of waiting we're finally at Post Crush's concert.” Spike agreed.
“This is gonna be a night to remember.” Applejack said happily.
“Well, come on, we better get in line.” Twilight suggested, as they got in the line to be admitted in.
One by one Spike and the girls were admitted inside while Drakon just flew right in, “I get a free pass.” the spirit chuckled.
Once inside the group looked around at all the booths set up already bustling with attendees, “Now this is awesome.” Rainbow looked around.
“There's so much to do.” Sweetie Belle added.
“Well, we got some time before the show starts.” Loona noted.
“So let's split up, and meet back at the stage for showtime.” Rarity suggested.
“That works.” Twilight agreed. And so they split up with Spike following Sunset, Twilight, Pinkie, and Loona.
Spike and his group visited a merchandise booth, and each got a poster they would hope to get Post Crush's autographs on, while Loona and Pinkie each got a Post Crush hat as well. Spike watched as Pinkie and Loona were taking selfies of each other wearing their new hats making him smile.
'Nice seeing how close they're getting.' he thinks to himself.
Twilight and Sunset looked at Spike and blushed, which he noticed, “What is it?”
“Nothing, it's just every time we see you smile so happy.” Twilight began.
“It makes us feel happy as well.” Sunset smiled.
Spike smiled at them, “I''m glad to see you both happy. I love it when all my girls are happy.”
“Hey, you guys.” Loona spoke up.
“Let's go grab a bite.” Pinkie suggested. Spike and the two girls shrugged knowing it was a good idea and followed the two.
Soon they were sitting at an outdoor table munching on something on a stick, “Mm, who would've thought lasagna pop would be tasty?” Loona asked.
“This is a new way to eat lasagna.” Sunset admitted.
“I tell ya after this I've seen everything.” Spike joked as Pinkie giggled.
“And the menus items are so creatively named.” Twilight said.
Spike enjoyed himself, before he noticed three security guards moving around but looked a tad suspicious. Suddenly a key on a key chain dropped from one of their pockets.
“Uh, hold on, girls,” Spike said, as he got up and hurried over to where the guard dropped his key, and picked it up, “Excuse me sir, you dropped your... Key?” he got a look at the key chain that came with the key seeing it was the emblem of the Storm Riders, “Oh no.”
“Spike?” Drakon asked, before Spike heard footsteps and ducked behind another booth, as the guard came back and grabbed the key.
“Hey, Thresher, what's the hold up?” asked one of the guards.
“Sorry, dropped my bike key.” the guard known as Thresher answered.
“Ugh, you really gotta get pants with better pockets.” the third said.
“Come on, the trailer's this way.” the first said.
The guards continued on, as Spike peeked around with Drakon, “No doubt about it. Those security guards are actually Storm Riders.”
“That infamous biker gang always going around tearing up the city and looting people?” Drakon inquired.
“The very same. And I'm betting they're here to kidnap Post Crush.” Spike suspected.
“So what're you going to do?” the spirit asked.
“What I always do.” Spike tailed the bikers.
Spike found the three by Post Crush's trailer, and watched the two idols step out. Before Spike could do anything a raging fan called, “It's Post Crush!” and with that a mob of fans started swarming close to them trampling Spike who tried to get by.
“Please! Let me through! Stop!” he struggled past the fans but saw over their heads the three fake guards were escorting the pop duo away, but knew it wasn't to the stage.
“Spike, they're getting away!” Drakon warned him.
“I noticed!” he groaned.
With Post Crush, K-Lo and Su-Z started noticing they weren't being escorted where they needed to be, “Um, excuse me, but the stage is that way.” K-Lo spoke to one of the security guards.
“We're taking a shortcut.” Thresher said.
They saw they were snuck out of the area where Big John, Candy Girl, and Desertstorm were waiting next to three motorcycles.
“Hey, what's going on here?” Su-Z demanded, as the security guards smirked.
“You two are going for a ride.” One of the guards answered as they picked them up and carried them to the bikes.
“Good job, boys. Now let's beat it!” Big John ordered.
They mounted their bikes after gagging the pop stars and put them on their bikes, before revving and taking off. Drakon who flew on ahead to see what happened was shocked before flying back to Spike who got out of the crowd.
“Spike, bad news!”
“What is it?”
“Those bikers made off with Post Crush!”
“No!” Spike gasped, knowing he had to go after them. He managed to slip away and transform into the Dragon Knight before dawning his mask, “Drakon, warn the girls.”
“On it!” Drakon answered as he flew to find someone, while Spike flew off and caught a view of the Storm Riders riding off into the city.
“Oh, no you don't.” Spike said, as he flew after them following their trail.
Back with Twilight, Sunset, Loona, and Pinkie, Loona looked around curiously, “Spike isn't back yet.”
“That's strange.” Pinkie admitted, while she, Sunset, and Twilight were hoping nothing happened that called for his alter ego's attention.
“Girls!” Drakon called, as the three looked at Drakon while making sure Loona didn't notice.
Twilight spoke, “You're right. I'm gonna go look for him. You wait here in case he comes back.” she got up and followed Drakon to a secluded spot, “What is it, Drakon? Where's Spike?”
“Trouble, Twi. Biker goons called the Storm Riders infiltrated the concert disguised as security and kidnapped Post Crush!”
“What?!” she asked in shock.
“Spike went Dragon Knight and flew after them. You better warn the actual security.”
“Right.” Twilight said, as she hurried to alert actual guards.
When Twilight informed the actual security they went and check seeing no sign of Post Crush in their dressing room or anywhere and immediately alerted the cops. While the security tried to keep it hush so not to cause the fans to panic and riot.
Spike flew around tailing the bikers through the city before reaching the factory the gang were held up in, “Gotcha.” he said before flying downward to the room and peeked in through the skylight window.
He peeked down seeing the pop stars were being escorted by the bikers all the way to a big guy with bushy white eyebrows and a beard, while wearing a black suit, and a black headpiece that looked like a two pointed crown. Spike got closer to one of the opened windows of the skylight to listen in.
“Here they are boss.” Big John said, as Post Crush was pushed before the guy, before having their gags removed so they could breathe.
“Ah, Post Crush, welcome to my sanctuary.” he began pleasantly.
“We've heard about you.” K-Lo frowned.
“You're the Storm King.” Su-Z declared.
“By name and reputation,” Storm King chuckled before smirking, “Do get comfortable, because you will be here until we get our ransom money.”
“Oh, this is not how we wanted our tour to go.” Su-Z groaned.
“Oh, lighten up, Su,” Candy Girl replied, “Be glad you're hanging with us. We throw some insane wild parties. And after this successful kidnapping we're gonna throw the biggest one yet.” she smiled crazily at the two who were beyond nervous.
Spike frowned before dropping down from below and used his wings to land safely atop a crate, “Sorry to literally drop in without an invitation.” he humored them.
“What?!” Storm King growled.
“Oh, my gosh,” K-Lo began, as she and Su-Z announced together, “The Dragon Knight!”
Spike looked surprised under his mask, “Whoa. K-Lo and Su-Z of Post Crush know my name?”
This in turn got the two girls surprised, as Su-Z spoke to K-Lo excited, “Wow. The Dragon Knight knows our names?”
“I'm a/We're big fan/s!” the three announced together.
Storm King growled, “That vigilante creep that's been causing trouble for the other gangs and groups!”
“And you and the Riders have the pleasure of being added to the list of gangs and rogues I busted up.” Spike replied.
“Not happening,” Storm King answered, before announcing, “Kill him!”
The Storm Riders in the factory ran and grabbed whatever weapon that was lying around. Those who armed themselves with guns started shooting at the vigilante who dodged before jumping off the crate and flew around the factory dodging more shots.
Spike extended one of his light blades from his right wrist and flew down slicing the guns held by some of the bikers making them useless.
“Hey, no fair, man!” one of the bikers complained at what he did to his gun.
Spike landed on the ground and turned to face the bikers who ran at him carrying blunt instruments while Storm King held the girls close to keep them from escaping. Spike started fighting them off one after another, 'With Drakon not here I need to be extra careful and watch my back.' he spun around delivering a roundhouse kick to a Storm Rider who tried coming at him from behind.
As Spike took out one biker after another, Big John, Desertstorm, and Candy Girl approached, “Now you're dealing with us, chump.” Big John warned him.
“I can't wait to skin him alive.” Candy Girl laughed crazily.
Spike after hearing what she said looked disturbed and thought to himself, 'That is one girl I'd never hook up with.'
Both Big John and Desertstorm tagged team against Spike who dodged their hits and fought back. As two two head bikers distracted him, Candy Girl was running at him with her mace in hand ready to swing it. Spike feeling her coming up behind him, spun around and kicked her in her abdomen making her eyes bulge before dropping her weapon.
She dropped to her knees clutching her stomach, “I can't believe you'd hit a lady!”
“What lady?” he replied nonchalant.
“Ooh! Stormy!” she called to Desertstorm.
“No one hits my girl but me when we're in the sack!” Desertstorm growled, before trying to punch Spike who dodged.
“Whoa! TMI, man!” he told the goon.
Desertstorm finally grabbed Spike from behind and held him tight, “Break out of this if you can.” the biker challenged the vigilante.
“He won't have a chance to.” Big John said, as he approached ready to deck him.
Spike concentrated and right when Big John got closer, he flipped Desertstorm off him and right into Big John as the two crashed onto an empty crate.
“Stormy!” Candy cried, as she crawled to him.
Spike turned seeing Storm King still holding K-Lo and Su-Z hostage, “Your bikers are down, King. So let the girls go and we'll be on our way.”
“Not happening, Knight,” Storm King said, as his grip on the two tightened, “I ain't letting these two go until I get my money.”
Unbeknownst to the biker gang benefactor, the two girls both managed to elbow him in the guts making him release his grip on them. The two ran from Storm King all the way to the Dragon Knight who quickly used his blades to cut their hands free.
The vigilante looked up seeing a lifting hook and then at Storm King as an idea came to him, “You two. When I give the signal, hit that button!” he motioned to the control button for the hook.
“Ok.” they answered.
Spike flew at the Storm King and fought him head on as the big guy fought back with his fists. Spike dodged some hits before going for his opponents legs, “Don't trip!” he rolled under his legs and sweep kicked him to the ground onto his front. The vigilante flew up to the hook and brought it down hooking it to Storm King's belt.
“Now, girls!” he announced.
The two slammed on the button activating the hook that started picking Storm King up from the ground before it stopped leaving him dangling by the back of his pants belt.
“Hey! Let me down from here!” he demanded.
“Sorry, King, but I got other things to do. Girls, take my hands,” Spike instructed the two, who while blushing each took a hand of his, “Hold on tight now!” he flew up carrying them along. The girls gasped in shock, but started relaxing as their hero flew them out through the skylight.
Storm King growled and shouted down to the Storm Riders who finally started getting themselves back up, “Get me down from here, you morons! We need to split before the cops trail us here!”
Meanwhile, Spike flew the girls through the air as they looked down at the city, “This is incredible!” Su-Z cheered.
“We're flying with the Dragon Knight!” K-Lo cheered along.
As they were flying above the park, Spike flew downward and gently set them down by their trailer, “Oh, Dragon Knight, thank you so much.” K-Lo thanked him.
“No problem. It's what I do.” he replied.
“How can we ever repay you?” Su-Z asked before she got an idea and ran back into the trailer and came out with one of the posters that was being sold at the booths, along with a black marker. K-Lo caught onto what Su-Z had planned, and both took turns using it. They then showed their hero the poster with their autographs on it.
Spike looked at it secretly excited but played it cool, “For me? Really?”
“A gift from two grateful fans.” K-Lo answered.
“Well, I accept this with much gratitude.” he replied taking the autographed poster, “Well, you two have a concert to put on, so I'll be on my way.”
He was about to fly off, until Su-Z stopped him, “Wait,” she began, until both she and K-Lo walked up to both sides of the Dragon Knight before performing a double cheek kiss making him gasp.
He looked at the two who were smiling while blushing, “Thanks again.” K-Lo said.
“Right. Well, I better go!” he flew off.
The girls let out a happy sigh before the security found them and made sure they were ok, as the two assured them they were fine. Spike despite flying off had secretly watched them from around a corner looking happy they were safe.
“Having fun?” came a voice.
Spike jumped before seeing Drakon floating at his side grinning, “Drakon! Uh, how much did you see?”
“Plenty,” he chuckled making Spike laugh sheepishly, “So you got an autograph and double kiss to the cheek.”
“I know. How're the girls?”
“They're fine, but you better get back to them. You've been gone too long for comfort. Come on.” Drakon said, as he flew along showing Spike the way back to his girlfriends.
As Spike followed the dragon spirit he found Twilight and the others gathered while looking concerned for him.
“Twilight! Girls!” he called out.
The girls gasped before seeing Spike running over making them relieved, “Spike!” they cried, as they ran over and hugged him.
“What happened?” Loona asked concerned, while the rest of the girls played innocent knowing where he was from Twilight and Drakon, “You've been gone for an hour. They postponed the show.”
“Well, I can't say about the show, but when I went to return that guard's key I kinda got swept up in a fan mob who spotted Post Crush around.”
“Well, we're just glad you're alright.” Applejack said relieved.
“Uh-huh.” Apple Bloom agreed.
“Attention, everyone!” a voice on the loudspeakers set up around the park spoke up grabbing everyone's attention, “Post Crush will be performing in a few minutes!”
The fans cheered, as they started to head for the stage, “Well, we better go!” Sunset told the group as they followed the crowd.
They arrived at the stage set up getting as close to it as they can. Everyone waited in anticipation, before the curtains opened up to reveal K-Lo and Su-Z in position with their instruments ready.
“Hello, Canterlot City!” K-Lo began, “It's good to see you all here. And we can tell you're excited because we are too!”
“But before we begin, we have an exciting story to share with you all,” Su-Z continued, as the fans were curious, “Awhile ago, K-Lo and I were kidnapped by biker goons called the Storm Riders!”
The fans gasped in shock, until K-Lo resumed, “But we were rescued by Canterlot City's very own Dragon Knight!” this got the fans relieved and excited to hear their hero saved their fave stars.
“He kicked the Storm Riders butts and saved our lives!” Su-Z declared, as the fans continued cheering, while Twilight and the girls minus Loona shot Spike smiles.
K-Lo spoke up, “If you're watching Dragon Knight, this one's for you!” she and Su-Z began to play before singing.
Spike and his girls were rocking out, especially Sunset and Pinkie who couldn't help but sing along parts of the song. It was a rockin' good time at the concert while Spike watched the two perform feeling happy he had the honor to not only meet Post Crush, but to rescue them as well.
Later that night after the concert, Spike returned home with Drakon. After feeding Peewee, he went to his room and pulled out two posters of Post Crush. There was the one that was autographed to the Dragon Knight, and the one that was autographed to him when the two signed autographs at the end of their concert.
“You got to go home with two autographs. How lucky for you.” Drakon noted.
“Yeah. But only one of these can go up.” Spike admitted, as he tacked the autograph to him on a cork board on his wall, while putting the one to Dragon Knight in his closet.
Spike plopped onto his bed and looked over at his autograph while focused on the images of K-Lo and Su-Z, “I can't wait till the next time they come back to the city.” he told himself.
