When Spike is visited by Martin The Warrior, Spike and Princess Twilight Sparkle makes an unbelieveable Journey to find Redwall Abbey and the two discover more of their destinies.

I will try to make this short. As a fan of the Redwall Series made by Brain Jacques, I have decided to attempt to write a fanfic crossing over MLP:FIM and Redwall in Brain Jacques's memory. This is my very first Redwall story so those that also love the Redwall series please feel free to help me out in any corrections. I also know that Mr. Jacques originally said he would never put in real Dragons in Redwall mostly because he wanted the animals original and native to England. Because of such, the story will feature only Twilight Sparkle as her Alicorn form and Spike.

Anyway as the short description says, Spike is visited by the spirit of Martin the Warrior in a dream. Twilight Sparkle and Spike set off to find the answer to their Dreams which is Redwall Abbey. The two discover more about their destinies.

Spike the Dragon: A Tale of Redwall

Prologue

It had certainly been a strange new life in Equestria. Twilight Sparkle used to live in Ponyville as a Unicorn Pony. Her life had certainly changed when she wrote and created new magic. This transformed her into an Alicorn making her a Princess. Now she didn't have a palace herself but like all Princesses, in addition to her horn she had wings. Right now a purple Alicorn with a violet mane and tail flew in the air. Her mane also had a pink stripe in it as well on her flank was a huge red star. She was still taking flying lesson with a cyan pegasus Pony with a rainbow mane and tail. One the Pegasus's flank was a rainbow colored lightning bolt coming from a cloud.

"You're doing well Princess Twilight!" the Pegasus Pony said "You've certainly improved sense last time."

"You're too kind Rainbow Dash" Twilight tells her friend "I'm still not so great at this. I've almost crashed ten times."

"It's better then fifty times" Rainbow Dash told her friend.

The two ponies land on the ground as it was going to turn into night soon. Twilight Sparkle turns to her friend "Thanks again for teaching me how to fly Rainbow."

"You're welcome" Rainbow Dash told her friend.

The two ponies were approached by a purple dragon with green scales "Princess Twilight! How'd it go?"

"She did better then last time Spike" Rainbow Dash answered for her friend.

Twilight Sparkle turns to the Baby Dragon whom had grown a bit taller so that he was half the size of Twilight Sparkle herself. This time it wasn't by greed but by regular growth. The Alicorn now addresses him "Well I suppose we should get ready for bed..." She pauses turning to her friend Rainbow Dash "I'll meet you tomorrow to train some more."

"Say no more!" Rainbow Dash said waving her hoof.

The three went into their homes where Twilight Sparkle and Spike went up there rooms to sleep for the night.

While they were resting it wasn't Twilight Sparkle that had a dream, it was Spike that had a weird dream. Normally he wouldn't have remembered the dream if it didn't involve a white unicorn with a beautiful purple mane and tail. On the Unicorn's flank was three diamonds. The name of the unicorn was Rarity, Ponyville's fashion designer and his crush. This time however his dream didn't have the Unicorn he loved. Instead he dreamed of a red stone castle that was very, very, peaceful then a dark cloud came over the Abbey signaling danger was approaching the red stone castle. As war raged a mouse in armor strolls up "Spike, my home is in grave danger by an enemy you know. You and three others must find my home to warn them of danger and to forefil your destiny."

Then without warning the dream ends and Spike wakes up "I shall! but where is your home and who are you?"

Twilight Sparkle hears Spike's shout and wakes up "Spike? Who are you talking too?"

Spike looks around "Uh, I dreamed of some pony. One that wasn't Rarity."

He noticed Twilight putting a hoof under her chin as Spike told her "I'll tell you tomorrow promise."

Twilight Sparkle gives him a nod and the two fell back to sleep, but for some strange reason, Spike would remember the dream he had. As the Baby Dragon tried to sleep his mind was now puzzled on two questions. One was, who was this mouse in armor? And the other, where was his home located. Then a third question came into his mind, what was the enemy that was attacking the Red Stone Castle, the mouse indicted it was somepony he knew or something he knew. Despite this he would try to fall asleep.

While Twilight Sparkle and Spike slept. A tall black insect like pony appeared in the Everfree Forest. She was pitch black with holes around her hooves. She had insect like wings and green eyes. She looks defiantly in the direction of Canterlot. She looked to conquer Equestria, then came the news of another peaceful place. One that would make her failure to take Equestria appear to be nothing. Unlike most villains she wasn't drawn to the rumors of treasures deep inside a Red Stone Castle. She wanted it's inhabitants. She wanted the inhabitants love so she and her fellow minions could gain more power. Sure she might've failed to conquer Equestria but an unguarded castle that was full of peaceful creatures should've been an easy target. Besides once that castle fell she could take command of the creatures in the Red Stone Castle and the creatures living in it's area to attack Canterlot and conquer Equestria.

"My fellow subjects!" The creature spoke "We may have failed to conquer Equestria that day but sense that defeat I have learned about a newer castle. One full of love for us to feast on. Now is the time to search for it and commence a successful invasion! NOW WHO IS WITH ME? IF YOU ARE SHOUT YOUR QUEEN'S NAME!"

The rest of her minions whom were all smaller then her but the same thing as her roared out in agreement shouting her name "QUEEN CHRYSALIS!"

Queen Chrysalis grins evilly laughing "That's what I thought, none of you would dare to say no. Anyway at first light we move out trying to find that Red Stone Castle!"

End of Prologue

This is the end of the Prologue. I hope everyone enjoys this new story. I did have Spike grow a bit taller so he could face off against opponents as well. It also looks like the Changelings will be back and will be the main villain of the series.

Chapter 1

Chapter 1

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP: FIM or Redwall. Brain Jacques owns the Redwall Series while Lauren Faust created MLP: FIM.

The next morning in Equestria followed. Twilight Sparkle woke up with Spike for once already up before she was. This wasn't normal for Spike to be up before she was. Normally it was her that was getting him up even after he had grown a bit. She then remembered which might've been why he was up. He said he was visited by this mouse in armor warning him that the mouse's home was in danger. She gets out of her bed and walks down "Morning Spike!"

"Morning Princess Twilight" Spike said to Twilight Sparkle.

"Morning Spike" Twilight replied she noticed Spike was looking threw a book "Trying to look for some clues?"

"I am" Spike said "But so far I haven't even seen the one I saw in my dreams in any book."

Twilight Sparkle looks at her number one assistant "How long have you been up?"

"About two hours" Spike answered.

Twilight Sparkle walks up to him "So, what do you say you take a break? Rainbow Dash is visiting, and also so is Princess Celestia. Perhaps you'd like to tell us your dream. Surely if I don't know anything about what your saying in your dream, then Princess Celestia may."

"Sure thing!" Spike said "I was just looking threw them to see if there was anything that could be a clue."

The two make their way outside where Rainbow Dash had been waiting for them "Hey Twilight!"

"Hello Rainbow Dash" Twilight Sparkle responded "Glad you could make it today."

"Are you kidding?" Rainbow Dash asked "I'd love to spend time with any of my friends!" She then notices Spike still troubled "What's wrong with Spike?"

"Hey had a dream last night" Twilight Sparkle explained.

"So did I" Rainbow Dash said "Unless his dream was a nightmare-"

"It wasn't a nightmare" Spike told her "It was more like a warning message. Or a plea for help."

"Now you have me curious" Rainbow Dash admitted "What was the dream?" she turns to Twilight while asking the question.

"I'm not sure" Twilight admitted "Although I was woken up last night when Spike was having his dream. So I believe him."

"So, the meaning of this breakfast, is to find clues?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Twilight Sparkle shakes her head "Yes, Princess Celestia may know what Spike is dreaming about. I don't know what the dream was about but I want to know as well. If if Spike said that the dream was a warning, then we must figure out what the place is."

The three walk towards Canterlot where they immediately meet Princess Celestia. Princess Celestia was a white Alicorn Pony. She was taller then Twilight Sparkle perhaps twice as tall as Twilight Sparkle was. Her mane was a mixture of four colors, the first color was light blue, followed by light green underneath the first color, followed by a another light blue color, and underneath that color was pink. Her tail was also the same color. On Princess Celestia's flank was a sun.

"Good morning Princess Twilight Sparkle" Princess Celestia spoke.

"Morning Princess Celestia" Twilight Sparkle reported.

Princess Celestia leads the other three into the kitchen where the group would have breakfast. Princess Celestia looks at Twilight Sparkle "So anything new going on Princess Twilight?"

Twilight Sparkle answers "Of course, first of all thank you for inviting me, Spike and Rainbow Dash."

"You're welcome" Princess Celestia said.

Twilight Sparkle then turns "Spike had a dream last night."

"Really?" Princess Celestia "What was it about?"

Twilight Sparkle shrugs "I was too tired last night to know what he was dreaming about exactly. So I figured he can explain it here."

The three ponies unanimously agreed Twilight did the right thing. Spike looks at the three ponies then explained his dream "Alright, last night I had a dream, but it wasn't like any other dream before. Where it was a long one. It was short but also it was if whom I dreamed about was asking for help."

Rainbow Dash turns her head "So short but you got the message this pony you dreamed about."

"Yes" Spike admitted he then explains his dream "In my dream, I dreamt of this beautiful red stone castle. Full of peaceful creatures."

The three ponies had their careful eyes and ears open listening to the Dragon. Spike continues "Anyway, this red stone castle seemed very peaceful. Then all of a sudden I saw this dark cloud and you know something, that cloud was so dark that there was no doubt that something evil or dark was approaching the castle."

"That's freaky!" Rainbow Dash kindly interrupted.

"It really is" Twilight admitted.

Princess Celestia agreed, she hated anything that threatened peaceful areas. She eyes Spike "Please continue."

"Of course" Spike responded and he continues "So, continuing on. This dark cloud came over the castle and there was no doubt about what it meant. Next I saw war between the castle's peaceful inhabitants against something dark...Then he appeared."

"He?" the three ponies asked.

Spike nods continuing "This mouse in armor appeared before me. Then he spoke to me these words 'Spike, my home is in grave danger. You and two others must find my home to warn them of the danger and to forefil your destinies."

Spike lets this set in before adding on "And just like that the dream ended."

"Did this mouse in armor say whom was the danger?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"All he said about that it was from something we knew" Spike answered.

Princess Twilight Sparkle was puzzeled "Red stone castle? Princess Celestia, there aren't any red stone castles in Equestria are there?"

Princess Celestia answered standing up "Not one that's been confirmed to even my knowledge. I have however heard of rumors of the said place Spike is talking about."

"You have?" Twilight Sparkle asked her "Yes! I knew you'd know something about Spike's dream if it was real."

"That's the thing" Princess Celestia responded "From what I've heard these are said to be rumors only, not confirmed."

"Then you don't know where it is?" Twilight Sparkle asked.

Princess Celestia stands up "If Spike dreamed of such a beautiful place, and this mouse came to him asking for his help, then that place has to be real."

"What exactly do you know of this Red Stone Castle by the rumors?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Princess Celestia answers "One is, exactly how Spike dreamed of it, it's a Red Stone castle that is a very peaceful place. Peace there is equal to Equestria's peace. Plus there is said that if something is interested in conquering it, the reason maybe that that place has treasure which I highly doubt if there is such a rumored thing."

"Do you by any chance know where this Red Stoned Castle would be?" Spike asked Princess Celestia.

Once more Princess Celestia answers "This Red Stoned Castle should be in what is rumored to be Mossflower Country. Now where that is, not even I know."

Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle hung their heads. Spike also wanted to hang it, Princess Celestia noticed this and spoke "However, if this mouse in armor came to Spike asking for Spike's message, he must find where that Red Stone Castle is and Mossflower Woods. He'll need two others with him."

"I'll go with him" Twilight Sparkle announced "After all I'd like to be the first Pony to discover if the rumored castle is true."

"I'm going with them as well" Rainbow Dash said.

"Rainbow..." Twilight Sparkle began "Why?"

Rainbow Dash answers "You'll need me to help teach you flying, and I can't exactly do it if I'm staying in Ponyville."

"True" Twilight Sparkle said "I wonder if we can get our friends to come with us."

Spike turns to her "I'd love to have them join us but the mouse specially said only two others can join me. Why that is, I don't even know but I'd like to try to keep on the current task he asked me. So you two would help me?"

"Of course" Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle replied "We'd help you out in a heartbeat."

"Thanks" Spike told the two.

Princess Celestia stood up "Then I guess you three on a wonderful journey. I wish you three luck on it, and I'd like to hear every bit of it when or-" she pauses as if she knew the three wouldn't be returning "If you return."

"Why wouldn't we return?" Rainbow Dash asked Princess Celestia "We love Equestria and we'll return back."

Princess Celestia eyes the three "According to Spike's dream, this mouse said something about one's destinies. I have no other idea what destinies lie ahead but I have a hunch that it's something for good."

Twilight Sparkle gets up "Thank you for the info Princess Celestia, well Rainbow Dash, and Spike I guess we should be on our way."

"Let's go!" the two shout with the newest Princess.

The three head off on their journey. Princess Celestia watches the three leave her castle thinking Good luck. I hope you find that place and succeed on your mission Spike.

Author's Note

That wraps up the chapter. Spike has told everypony about his dream and now he, Twilight Sparkle, and Rainbow Dash are off on a journey to find Redwall Abbey and Mossflower Woods.

I have decided that Princess Celestia probably wouldn't know of Redwall or Mossflower Woods mostly to try to keep viewers that read this to know that Princess Celestia doesn't know everything or been everywhere. She has heard rumors of it though.

The next chapter, we'll get to see this fanfic's Redwall inhabitants!

Chapter 2

Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own MLP: FIM or Redwall. Brain Jacques owns the Redwall Series while Lauren Faust created MLP: FIM. Also the Redwall Characters are OC.

It is the Spring of Early Harvest. Redwall has been a great place to live. Many peaceful seasons have come and gone but this season appears that the trees and bushes have blossomed early with an enormous amount of food. I myself have never seen so much fruits, and berries blossoming so early this spring. For the second time ever recorded, Redwall is without an Abbot or Abbess. This is quite strange as many of us thought our Abbot that passed away last season would've selected his successor but he didn't.

It has been several seasons sense Redwall was ever under any serious threat. Still there is cation in the air. Skipper has told everyone that even though he enjoys our peaceful ways, that he feels that there maybe a danger on the horizon and he fears for everyone's safety. I don't blame Skipper for feeling this way, for deep in my own heart, I honestly feel that there really is danger on the horizon. It has also been many seasons sense Redwall has ever had a champion to defend our peaceful ways. If it wasn't for this feeling everyone here feels that Skipper maybe right, we'd probably be going threw our normal lives. Still this uneasiness is affecting everyone and without an Abbot or Abbess we aren't sure how to take it.

Signed Brother Robert, Abbey Recorder

An old mouse sat down writing away at his journal. Once he was done recording the old mouse adjusted his spectacles before closing it sighing. He had lived in Redwall for many seasons each season at least having an Abbot or Abbess. It also had been ages sense the Abbey ever had a Champion. They still had Skipper around to help and that wasn't going to change. The old mouse heard a knock on the Gate House's door.

"Who is it?" The old mouse asked.

"It's just me" was the response.

"Ah if it isn't Blossom. Come on in" Brother Robert said.

The door opened and Blossom stepped into the room. Blossom was Redwall Abbey's Badgermum unlike most female badgers whom were entering their golden age in life, Blossom was a young badger. She eyes Brother Robert as he made his way towards her."Good morning Blossom."

"Good Morning Brother Robbet" Blossom spoke "Are you ready to assist Sister April in getting more herbs for the Infirmary?"

"Oh yes, I nearly forgot about that" Brother Robbert said "Thanks for reminding me."

"You're welcome" The badger replied while the two exited the Gate House.

Once out of Redwall's gates they met a beautiful mousemaid in charge of Redwall's infirmary. The young Mousemaid was the great, great, grand daughter of Sister May and was just as fierce as her grandmother, especially towards the Red Kites which sometimes visited Redwall Abbey. The beautiful Mousemaid turns over towards the two "Blossom! Brother Robbert! Good morning!"

"Good morning April" Brother Robbert and Blossom "Glad you two could join me."

"You're welcome" Blossom ensured.

"It seems like ages sense I've ever set paw out of Redwall's gate" Brother Robbert admitted "But it feels good."

Blossom leads the way towards the forest. Once in the forest, Sister April makes her way over to some herbs. With Brother Robbert helping in another area. Blossom throws a bit of caution in the wind. Even though Redwall Abbey and Mossflower Woods were peaceful, there still could be danger lurking about. It is then she asks Sister Apirl "Don't we get some more medical supplies next week?"

"We do" Sister April confirmed "I just need some herbs, right now I only have enough for around three days. So I need to collect more at least till next week."

"Sounds about right" Brother Robbert admitted.

Suddenly Blossom's eyes caught movement behind Sister April "SISTER APRIL, BROTHER ROBBERT! BEHIND ME!"

The two mice obeyed and just in time too for a Fox pounced out where Sister April was. Immediately the Badger was onto him grabbing the fox by the throat. Despite this the fox gives out a growl "Curses! It's the Stripe Dog."

"What do you think you were doing?" Blossom demanded.

"I think you know exactly what I was going to do" The fox told the badger.

At his snap about ten rats appeared. It was then Blossom seen that the fox and it's group was just one group out of the many vermin gangs that were lurking about in Mossflower Woods. The fox eyes the badger "What are you going to do stripe dog? You can't save your friends, the moment you break my body the rats will attack them.

Blossom growls wanting to do just that to the fox. It was when she noticed that two of the rats had arrows attached to their bows aiming them specifically at Brother Robbert and Sister April.. The badger places the fox down whom turns "Kill the stripe dog first!" then take the other two as prisoners. The rats were about to do just that when a voice shouted "REEEDDDWAAALLL!"

This stopped the rats from attacking briefly and those with arrows attached soon found javelins sticking threw their necks. The two fall slain and an otter appeared with four other otters. Blossom knew who it was "SKIPPER!"

Skipper Oliver had arrived to assist the out numbered group. It soon didn't take long for Skipper to completely turn the momentum of the skirmish. When things looked bad the fox thought to retreat but Blossom manages to tackle him holding him by the neck high into the air growling "Now you are mine!"

"No please!" The fox shouted "Don't!"

Blossom seemed to ignore him when Skipper Oliver moved towards her "Ahoy there Blossom! Remember we don't kill those that have no fight in them."

Blossom sees that Skipper was right and releases the fox eying him giving him one warning "If I ever catch you trying that again. Now leave!"

The fox looks at what was left of his little group which was around four rats "So be it Stripe Dog."

He starts to go but not before eying the badger and otter "You all haven't seen the last of Redfang!"

He along with the rats retreat deep into the woods. Once Redfang and the four rats had gone, Blossom turns to Skipper Oliver "Thank you."

"No problem Blossom" Skipper told her "We were happy to help."

The group of nine now continued onto the task at hand to find more herbs for the week. Skipper Oliver couldn't help but not feel a bad feeling coming on. Sure dealing with the localized vermin gangs was one thing. He couldn't help but wonder what would happen if something happened to reunite the vermin gangs. Alone the gangs were no trouble to seasoned good beast like the Guosim or himself and his otters but all together could possess a threat to Redwall.

The fox Redfang and his surviving members made their way deep into the foreset. Redfang was angry at his failure and should've expected this to happen. The fox was walking back and forward when a new rat appears. This caused Redfang to eye the new comer "What do you want?"

"I've been traveling around these parts talking to the other gangs around here" The new rat said bowing before Redfang "My Queen has sent me to talk to you and also to tell you she's interested in meeting with all of you."

"Where is this queen of yours?" Redfang asked.

"About two weeks worth of walking" The new rat said.

"Tell your queen we will take her offer" Redfang said.

"Of course" The new rat said "Now I'll take you to her but just one second."

Redfang nods allowing the new rat to go. The new rat wanders and turns into his true self a Changeling. The Changeling makes his way over to another that was hidden in the growth of the forest. The Changeling taps it's ally's head causing the one hiding to look up "Go back to Queen Chrysalis and tell her, I have completed my task in finding the gangs in these woods and all have said they are willing to meet her. Go to her and say they are coming."

The second Changeling gives it's friend a nod before flying off to deliver the message. The remaining Changeling tuens back into his rat self to rest for the afternoon. For tomorrow he would be leading them to Queen Chrysalis.

Author's Note

This chapter is over. We do meet four Redwallers, Brother Robbert the Abbey recorder, Sister April the Informitory assistant, Blossom the young Badgermum, and Skipper Oliver. In addition we did also meet Redfang. Things are certainly heating up.

Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Meeting the Long Patrol

Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and Spike were walking in the woods. They had been traveling ever sense. They had no map, nothing to guide them to where Redwall Abbey would be. Twilight Sparkle knew Spike better than any other pony had known him. The fact he sounded very worried was something she wanted to find out. Still the knowledge that a new castle and land that was surrounded in rumor being found excited her. She wasn't the only pony who was excited. Rainbow Dash herself was excited "This is going to be the greatest adventure ever!" the Cyan Pegasus reports "Just imagine, a whole new land that no pony has ever discovered! And we're about to discover it!"

Princess Twilight Sparkle agrees "Yeah, and when we get there if it's real, I'd like to see it's history!"

Spike smiles "Just sounds like you Princess Twilight!"

The Princess walks a bit more "Man I just hope this Redwall place exsists."

"It has to be" Spike said "Otherwise, why would I dream of this Redwall place."

"Good point" Rainbow Dash admitted.

Twilight walks ahead "I wonder what sort of ponies live at this Redwall place. Oh that place should have a lot of history and I'd love to read all of that!"

As the three are walking or flying in Rainbow Dash's case, they leave Ponyville behind. As they are walking towards an open wood area. They hear the sound of something stalking them. Spike looks around "Any pony feel that?"

Princess Twilight did feel something "Yes, I do Spike."

Rainbow Dash watches as they were surrounded by River rats whom were just as big as they were, and all carrying ether swords, or spears. Rainbow Dash blinked "Uh...Princess Twilight..."

Princess Twilight sees this as well "Fluttershy isn't going to like this."

A river rat makes his way towards them "Tonight we take our captives mate!"

"You'll try!" Rainbow Dash shouted.

The river rat gang laughed with the river rat that had spoke earlier speaking up once again "We out number you! You are no threat to us."

"They might not be a match to you but how about facing against a group of true warriors!" a new voice sounded "Long Patrol...Charge! Eeulia! Give em blood and vingar mates!"

What happened next over threw Princess Twilight, Rainbow Dash, and Spike. Hares armed to the teeth with every kind of weapon imaginable rushed in to aide them. The hares wore bright red military tunics and completely took the River rats by surprise as three of them fell to javelins that were expertly thrown by the hares. This surprise attack caused the River Rat leader to shout "Retreat mates! We've wandered too far!"

The River Rats ran away with an older but still young hare shouting "Don't come back here you vermin! Or I Captain Joshua Saberpaw and me Long patrol will run you down!"

Princess Twilight approaches the Hare "Thanks for coming to rescue us!"

The hare turns to her surprised in seeing such a beautiful horse with both wings and horn. He turns to her "You're welcome fair maiden."

The hare now bows to her respecting her not even suspecting that she was a Princess "Captain Joshua Saberpaw at ya service!"

Twilight Sparkle introduces herself now "Pleasure to meet you Joshua. I am Princess Twilight Sparkle."

The hare blinks at this "Princess? Well I'll be!"

He eyes the other hares whom along with their captain bow to her "Then it was an honor for us to spring into action to save ya Princess Twilight!"

Princess Twilight blinked at this, these hares she had just met were now treating her like most of the other ponies that visited Ponyville "Thanks again Captain...Now let me introduce my friends here, Rainbow Dash and Spike."

Rainbow Dash salutes the Hare "What's up?"

Spike waves to the hare "Hello."

"Nice to meet you all" Joshua said "So...What brings you to Salamandastron's cost?"

Spike thinks about it as Twilight asked "Salmandastron?"

Joshua answered her as he points behind him towards a huge mountain "This is Salmandastron. Home of the mighty Badger Lords and us Long Patrol."

"Long Patrol?" Spike asked "As in you and the other hares under your command?"

"That's right me bucko!" Joshua said "Now if I may, let me show you to Lord Angus!"

The three are kindly escorted to see a tall badger looking out at the sea. His white stripped face seemed to be peering out. The badger heard footpaws and hoof beats coming up and turns to see the hare "Welcome back Captain."

"Thanks my lord" Joshua told him "I've brought you some visitors we've saved..."

At his words Princess Twilight, Spike and Rainbow Dash advance. The Badger Lord turns seeing them "Welcome friends, Salamandastron is always opened to peaceful visitors. I am Lord Angus the Badger Lord and leader of all Salamandastron. Who are you?"

"I'm Rainbow Dash, sir!" Rainbow Dash said bowing to the Badger Lord for once clearly not wanting to feel the wrath of such a big and powerful creature.

Spike introduced himself as well "I'm Spike!"

Princess Twilight bows to him showing him respect "I'm Princess Twilight Sparkle."

Seeing another creature that was a Princess the tall and powerful Badger Lord bows back "Pleasure to meet you. So what brings you to my mountain?"

Spike looks at Joshua and the Badger Lord "Princess Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash and I come from a place in Equestria called Ponyville. Anyway just last night I had a dream. One where I saw a mouse in armor."

Rainbow Dash sighs whispering to Twilight "They might think he's nuts!"

"Hold on Rainbow" Twilight told her friend watching the Hares and the Badger Lord seemed interested in Spike's explanation "They don't seem to be ignoring this."

"I see" Joshua said to Spike "A mouse in armor appeared in your dream...Did he have a sword?"

"He did!" Spike said "Anyway I saw a dark cloud coming over to this red stone castle. Then this warrior mouse appeared telling me that only Twilight, and Rainbow Dash could join me to find this red stone castle and warn them of the danger."

"We aren't too sure of what danger Spike seen in his dream" Twilight told the hares of the Long Patrol and the Badger Lord, but Rainbow and I are willing to help Spike warn them...Have you heard of this red stone castle and this mouse Spike saw?"

Lord Angus answered "We do, what your dragon friend had seen in his dream was no other than Martin the Warrior. A Warrior mouse-"

"From Salamandastron?" Rainbow Dash kindly interrupted "Because if he was, then this shall be great!"

Captain Joshua answered her chuckling "Gotta real good hi-ho attitude for a lovely maiden Rainbow Dash, but no Martin the Warrior wasn't a warrior from Salmandastron although I myself wish he was."

"Then where is this Martin?" Spike asked "And why can't he warn this red stone castle?"

"That red stone castle is where Martin helped to build and protect" Lord Angus said "And that place does exist."

"Really?" Twilight, Rainbow and Spike asked "What is it called?"

"It's called Redwall Abbey" Joshua said "The most peaceful place in Mossflower Country."

Spike then asked "Uh, if Martin lives at Redwall Abbey, how'd he appear in my dream?"

Joshua answered once again "Why Martin doesn't live any more. He died many, many seasons ago. He might be dead but many good beast such as yourself has seen Martin the Warrior's spirit in their dreams. Most of the cases though he appears in mostly the Redwaller's dreams. There are quite a few cases where he doesn't but he generally appears in the dreams of the Redwallers."

Twilight Sparkle then asks Lord Angus "Do you know where this Redwall Abbey is? We've gotta warn them of this danger that's approaching them."

Lord Angus nods "Sure we do, but I wouldn't set out of Salmandestron at night. Captain Joshua!"

"Yes, my lord?" Joshua asked.

Lord Angus eyes the hare "You'll take and command three score of our men with you to occupy Princess Twilight and her friends to Redwall Abbey once morning rises. If danger is approaching Redwall Abbey, we must come to their aide."

"Right!" Joshua said.

Twilight Sparkle looks outside and sees the Badger Lord's point of view. They had nearly been captured by a Rat gang, had the Long Patrol not shown up...She didn't want to think about it. She turns to her friends agreeing with the Badger Lord "We spend our first night here."

The Princess, Spike and Rainbow Dash prepare to sleep in Salmandestron for the night.

Author's Note

This chapter is over, Originally it was the group meeting the Guosim but I decided to put the Hares in this one before they meet the Guosim.
