The Incredible Drake: His Return

Hobgoblin, Past, and News

Today...just became the happiest day in Spike’s life. For he is now engaged to the mare he loves. Rarity, his new fiance, held him tightly as she cried in happiness. She loved Spike but she never knew that he had loved her to the point of engaging. But she loved that he decided to finally tie the knot with her. They both held one another for a few minutes but soon let go as they heard the news turn on.

We interrupt this program to bring you this breaking news. After the breakout at Canterlot Maximum Security Prison, several villains have been spotted all over Equestria. And one was seen headed towards the direction of Ponyville. The villain, known as the Hobgoblin, was seen flying towards the small town on a device that seems to be a glider. If you see this villain, call your local authorities immediately. I’m New Flash and now back to your regularly scheduled program. When the news ended Spike looked at Rarity and sighed.

“Guess we have to wait a little before we tell the others huh?” Spike told Rarity who nodded and headed off to get dressed for the coming of the Hobgoblin. Spike just found some nearby stretch pants and slipped them on as he turned into Drake. The two headed towards the treehouse and went downstairs to the base of The Avengers… only to be met by not only their friends but Spider-Mare as well. “Lensie what are you doing here?” Spike asked, shaking the room a little with his deep voice. Lensie turned around and gave Spike a look of hatred.

“Lensie, what’s wrong?” Spike asked his friend in a worried voice.

“The Hobgoblins heading this way. And I have a thing against goblins.” Lensie replied angrily.

“Why? What happened?” Rarity asked out of curiosity. Lensie, or rather Spider-Mare, took a deep breath and began.

“Years ago when I first started being a superhero I was met with several nasty villains. But two of them… I will always hate for the rest of my life. The first one, The Green Goblin, he is still the worst of the two. He’s my oldest and my most dangerous opponent I have ever and will ever face, worse then Venom to give you an idea. One day he found out who I was and hunted down the stallion I loved.” Lensie soon had tears falling down her face. The group could only stare in disbelief as they already knew what happened to him. Her face became stoic again as she then told them about the Hobgoblin. “This new goblin. He’s bad but I think he chose the name just to spite me. I’ve already faced him before and beaten him but why he’s coming here.” She said angrily as she clenched her fist tightly. Then the mares and Spike felt her pain. For her mortal enemy has killed her stallion and a copy of her enemy is running amok.

“Gee Lensie, I-” Spike started. But then breaking through a window was something orange.

“Ooh. What’s that?” Pinkie asked as she observed the small object that looked like a Jack-O-Lantern. Lensie shot a strand of webbing at it and tossed it back through the window.

“Hey! Why’d you-” Pinkie started. But then she heard an explosion and saw that it was the object that was tossed into the treehouse.

“What in tarnation was that?” Applejack asked.

“A pumpkin bomb. And I only know two villains who make them.” Lensie replied. Then as she finished a twisted and high pitched cackle was heard from outside along with the sound of a machine’s hum.

“Oh Spider-Mare! Come out and play!” A crooked voice said. Lensie growled as she recognized the voice.

“Hobgoblin.” She said in a tone of pure venom. Spike turned his head outside and saw one of the most hideous villains he will ever meet. The Hobgoblin, standing on his glider on two of his hooves, was a disheveled looking creature that had an orange cape and pale orange skin. His eyes were bloodshot and his wings at first glance looked to be shot at but then he recognized the wing pattern.

“Son of a nag he’s a changeling.” He said to himself. He turned his head and called down “THE DUDE IS A CHANGELING GIRLS!” Twilight immediately snapped her head forward and soon activated her boots. She hovered off the ground a little before she charged the insane monster.

“Oh! You want to play?! Well then let’s play tag! YOU’RE IT!” The Hobgoblin screamed happily as he tossed two pumpkin bombs at her. But luckily Twilight, or Iron Mare, shot the bombs with her repulsor blasts.

“Sorry. But no cheating.” Iron Mare said happily.

“Well then how about we change the game? It’s now time for Red Rover. So Red Rover, Red Rover, let Hobgoblin over!” Hobgoblin screamed as he turned his glider around. He then cackled as he charged full speed at Iron Mare. Iron Mare then went under him and floated.

“Missed me!” Iron Mare said happily.

“I’M AFRAID NOT!” Hobgoblin yelled gleefully as he pointed at Iron Mare’s chest. She looked down and saw that he planted a pumpkin bomb on her and it exploded. Iron Mare went flying back into the treehouse soon after.

“TWILIGHT!” Spike, or rather Drake, yelled. He bounded after the goblin who turned and laughed as he saw him rushing.

“OH A NEW PLAYER! THIS IS GETTING FUN!” He yelled as his glider flew up and out of Drake’s reach. “NAH! NAH! CAN’T TOUCH ME!” Hobgoblin said, failing to notice the spider web that just grabbed him. Then with a powerful yank Hobgoblin fell from his glider and onto the ground with a powerful thump. As he got up, he saw a familiar heroine he loved to play with.

“Well, well, well. If it isn’t Spider-Mare. Come to play with me?” He asked sarcastically. Spider-Mare then shot webbing onto his mouth.

“Zip it Hobgoblin! I’m not done with our little business!” Spider-Mare screamed angrily. Then using his claws, Hobgoblin ripped the webbing on his mouth to shreds.

“What are you going to do Spidey? Finish me like you did the Green Goblin?” Hobgoblin asked her.

“Le-Spider-Mare, what is he talking about?” Rainbow Dash, otherwise known as Soar asked. Hobgoblin laughed at her.

“Oh didn’t Spidey tell you? She and the Green Goblin had a long standing feud going on. One day he killed the stallion she cared. She told you that much right?” He asked grinning all the while. Spider-Mare still held him down. Soar just stared as she nodded. “Well what she never told you was that she was the reason that he died. Thought that a little web sling would save him. Didn’t expect to hear somepony’s neck crack?!” Hobgoblin yelled the last part. Soar and the others only stared at the two. Spider-Mare started to tighten her grip on him as he finished. “And then what did you do? You hunted him like the dog that he was, and rightly so I might add, and then beat him into a pulp as his glider pushed him over a ledge right?”

“THEY NEVER FOUND THE BODY! AS FAR AS THAT CONCERNS ME HE IS ALIVE!” Spider-Mare shouted at him.

“Really? Who knows? Maybe a pumpkin bomb made him go boom.” Hobgoblin said as he chuckled. Spider-Mare then drew her fist back and punched Hobgoblin in the face making him fall to the ground. But then she picked him up and did it again and again but each time she did it The Goblin just laughed at her. The Avengers watched as she beat the buck out of the Hobgoblin. When she was done, the Hobgoblin’s face was bruised and bloody.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” The Hobgoblin laughed insanely. He soon just allowed the wounds to overwhelm him as he fell unconsciously to the ground. Spider-Mare then took off her mask and fell to the ground on her knees and started crying. Twilight, out of her armor, walked up and placed an arm around her.

“I-I’m so sorry you h-had to hear that. It’s just… he made my life a living hell for me. All those years dealing with him and then this monster shows up in a similar suit and he taunts me about the Goblin. I’m so sorry.” Lensie sobbed into Twilight’s coat. Twilight then wrapped her arms around Lensie and hugged her. Looking afar from this, a green skinned being watched them.

“Spider-Mare. I’ll be sure to have some fun with you once more.” The being said in a psychotic voice. Back at Ponyville, the mare and Spike were at the treehouse out of their uniforms.

“Thanks for stopping by Lensie. I hope we can see you again when villains aren’t running amok.” Rarity said as she waved goodbye.

“I hope so as well. Well I’d better get going. See ya’.” Lensie said as she walked out the door. As she did she looked around before she called out. “Nopony is near me now. You can come out Ellie.” Lensie said and soon She-Venom appeared in front of her. “Is it true then? Is Electro out as well?”

“Sssadly Lensie it is true. Electro isss ssstill on the loosssse.” She-Venom said with a sorrowful tone in her voice. She then lurched a little when she finished the sentence. Lensie leaned forward only to be knocked back. “We are fine Lensss, It’ssss jussst the newborn having a sssmall fit.” She-Venom said as both mares shot out their respective webs and swung into the night.

Meanwhile back at the Treehouse Spike and Rarity had a tough time calming the others down. For they had finally decided to tell them their surprise.

“Girls.” Spike said getting their attention. Rarity then turned towards them and soon hugged Spike as they said together.

“We’re getting married!” The surprise had the desired effect they wanted.

“WHAT?!”

“Oh my!”

“YIPEE!”

“AWESOME!”

“WELL CONGRATS!” Each of The Avengers shouted. Applejack clapped Spike on the back while Rainbow tried to avoid causing a minor storm in the treehouse. Rarity was hugged by Fluttershy and Pinkie. All of them either hugged the two or high fived them... all but Twilight who walked up to Rarity and asked if they had a girl to girl talk. So Rarity said yes and followed her to the bathroom where Twilight locked the door behind her.

“So Twilight, what is it you want to talk about?” Rarity asked.

“Rarity you and I have been friends for a long time right?” Twilight asked her. Rarity nodded a little before Twilight continued. “I just want you to know that, along with Shining Armor, Spike is like a brother to me.” Twilight said starting to sound a little cold.

“Why of course darling but wha-”

“So if you break his heart I promise you I will make your life a living Tartarus until the day I die. Got it marshmallow girl?” Twilight asked. Rarity only looked at her in shock as she shook her head yes. Twilight’s smile then returned as she unlocked the bathroom door. She and Rarity walked out and Twilight walked up to Spike and hugged him.

“What the hey are we standing here for? Let’s celebrate!” Pinkie screamed.

“I agree. Let’s have an engagement party! Right here in the treehouse!” Spike said happily. Then for the rest of the night, the mares and Spike had not a single worry. But had many drops of fun.
