The Incredible Drake

The Accident

Celestia's shining sun rained it's heat over Equestria causing a very, very hot day. Everypony was trying to find a way to stay cool. But Princess Twilight Sparkle and her assistant. Scratch that. Number one assistant Spike the Dragon were trying their hardest to create a potion that Twilight discovered in the Ponyville Library. Spike, now eighteen years old, was now about the size of Princess Celestia, was well built, and wore a green shirt and purple jeans, was still living at Ponyville Library helping his best friend ever since he hatched by her, Twilight Sparkle. While Twilight mixed the ingredients to create the potion, Spike grabbed the ingredients.

"Twilight, I got the diamond dust you needed." Spike said as he walked into the Library. He then went upstairs to where the purple Alicorn was hard at work keeping her eyes on the potion to make sure nothing goes wrong.

"Great Spike. That should be the last ingredient we need." Twilight said with happiness in her voice. Spike smiled and passed the bag of fine diamond dust to her. She opened the bag and dumped it into the pink potion. It then turned to a very bright green as soon as the diamond dust touched it.

"It works. I can't believe it Twilight it works." Spike said in an astonished voice.

"I said it would work Spike. You just need to have faith in things and they might be true." Twilight said as she smiled at the Dragon.

"So...Twilight, what is this potion supposed to do again?" Spike asked as he scratched the back of his purple, scaly head.

"Spike. I said that this potion would increase a pony's strength, speed, agility, intelligence, and increases their immune system to where no diseases can affect them." Twilight explained.

"So it perfects the pony's body making them a perfect organism?" Spike asked hoping he understood that.

"Exactly." Twilight said amazed that he really understood that.

"But...isn't that playing the gods?" Spike asked her in a worried tone.

"I know it might be bad. But just imagine what this can do for ponies." Twilight said. But before Spike could say anything, he and Twilight noticed something was wrong with the potion. It started to bubble. A little too much.

"Uh Twi'. Is it supposed to do that?" Spike asked in a worried voice. She levitated the potion book towards her and her eyes read through the pages.

"No. No it's not." Twilight replied in a scared voice. The bubbling potion than began to bubble violently. Then bright green steam came out of the vial as the liquid steamed like a whistle. Twilight covered her ears as the sound got louder. It then began to shake like crazy.

"TWILIGHT! MOVE!" Spike roared as he pushed her out of the way. Twilight landed on the floor next to Spike. But before the Dragon could react, the potion released a powerful bright, green light.

"Oh shi-" Was all the Dragon could say.

*BOOM!*

The room was then filled with green smoke after the potion exploded. Twilight gasped and got up, looking through the green smoke for her friend and assistant.

"Spike! Spike!" Twilight yelled as she struggled to look through the smoke. But then, she tripped over what she thought was a bump in the floor. She turned her head and when the smoke cleared, she saw that the bump was Spike who wasn't getting up. She let out a gasp and kneed over his unconscious body. She saw that he was breathing, but barely.

"Spike? Spike, can you hear me?" She asked him as tears began to roll out of the corners of her eyes.

"T..Twilight? I..is t..that you?" Spike struggled to ask. Twilight weakly smiled to see he was alive. She then picked him up and ran out the Library to the hospital. She wanted to teleport but she didn't want to risk Spike's life. She ran as fast as she could carrying Spike to the hospital. While she was running, she wondered what would the potion do to him. The potion was only used on a pony but never a Dragon before. She then arrived at the hospital bursting  through the doors.

"Help! My friend needs help!" Twilight yelled. Three doctors along with Nurse Redheart brought a carrier and placed Spike onto it. They then took Spike down the hallway of the hospital and Twilight came with them.

"Your majesty, what happened to him?" One of the doctors asked.

"W..we were making a potion. A..and then it began to act s..strange and he p..pushed me out the way. It then e..exploded and he t..took the full blast." Twilight replied as she sobbed. When they arrived to the emergency room, two of the doctors blocked Twilight's way.

"I'm sorry your majesty. But we cannot allow you to be in here." One of the doctors regretfully said.

"But...I need to be in there. I need to make sure he's okay." Twilight said sadly.

"I'm sorry Princess Twilight. But you'll need to wait. I give you my apologies." Another doctor said as she grabbed her shoulder. The doctor then walked Twilight back to the waiting room where she hoped Spike would be okay.
