The Incredible Drake: His Return

Over a month had passed since the group had encountered The Ghost Rider but ever since then Spike has been extremely secluded to his room. And Rarity had been keeping to herself in the Carousel Boutique for she didn’t want anypony to know a secret she’s been keeping. Many have tried to get her to come out about what it is that bothered her but nothing that they did had any effect and there was a good reason for she was, in fact, pregnant with Spike’s unborn child. “H-how long has it been since this baby started to live in my body?” She asked herself when she was alone. She then heard the sound of the boutique’s door open and gasped in shock. Rarity then saw her friend, Twilight Sparkle, with a worried look on her face walk up to her.

“Hey Rarity.” She said as she sat in a chair.

“Hello Twilight. How have you been doing darling?” Rarity asked casually but Twilight knew better.

“Rarity what’s bothering you?” She asked her friend. Rarity suddenly became interested in her own ceiling and started to stare at it.

“Do you need something Twilight?” She asked.

“Rarity please don’t change the subject. Now, what’s bothering you?” Twilight asked back in a slightly raised voice. Rarity, knowing she wouldn’t win, sighed in defeat before reaching onto a hidden compartment in her coffee table pulling out a white stick. She passed it to Twilight whose eyes widened at what it read.

“Y-you’re-” Twilight started but Rarity finished.

“Yes Twilight… I’m pregnant with his child.” Rarity said as casually as she could. Twilight then looked up at her with an impasse look on her face as she asked the big question in the room.

“Does Spike know?” Twilight asked deadpanned.

“N-no he doesn’t-” Rarity was about to say when a nearby tea pot came zooming past her. She then saw an angry Alicorn whose eyes she could’ve sworn to have flames in them.

“Rarity, I’m giving you a five second head start.” Twilight said making Rarity get up off  the couch and run. Five seconds later, Twilight got up with a glowing horn and started chasing Rarity. “YOU NEVER TOLD SPIKE HE WAS A DAD?! WHEN IN TARTARUS DID YOU FIND OUT RARITY BELLE?!” Twilight yelled as she burst through the door and flapped her wings and flew to the top of the Boutique. She saw Rarity on the other side and used her magic to blast open the windows in front of her.

“L-last month.” Rarity stuttered as she ducked under a blast of purple magic.

“LAST MONTH?! THAT’S IT! I’M REALLY GONNA MAKE YOU HURT!” Twilight roared. But then, the boutique’s door opened again and the sound of four ponies entering the building was heard.

“Twi’, Rarity, ya’ here?” A southern voice asked. Twilight snorted as she started to go downstairs.

“It’s about time you girls got here. Listen Rarity has-” Twilight was cut off as a blast of blue magic hit her in the chest, knocking her out.

“Oops. Sorry sugarcube” The mare in front of the unconscious mare said as it soon shifted into another voice and body. “But you were in my way.” her new voice said. And the pony was a blue Pegasus wearing black and yellow armor with a green cape. On her head was a helmet with two horns that curled upwards. It was Lightki. Goddess Of Mischief. Behind her were four larger than normal, cold as ice blue ponies that froze anything they touched at will. “Bring me the White looking Unicorn to me frozen. Alive but not unharmed.” She added when she saw the looks on her giants faces.

Meanwhile, at Sweet Apple Acres, Spike was hanging out with Big Macintosh and his older brother Shining Armor. Right now the three were playing a game of darts and Spike was winning.

“Come on Spike, just hit the bullseye and you win.” Shining said.

“Eeyup.” Big Mac said as Spike pulled another dart from the table. He knew he could hit the bullseye but too many thoughts were going through his head, his previous and unsuccessful fights and his… other problem with Devil Drake. He threw the dart which only missed the bullseye but an inch.

“Oh so close bro!” Shining said as Spike walked back to the chair he sat in.

“Spike, ya’ seem to be bothered by somethin’. What is it?” Big Macintosh asked. Spike just sighed as he contemplated how he should word his problem.

“Do you guys think I’m a bad hero?” Spike asked them which made both of them spew out the cider they were drinking.

“Spike, we don’t think that. Honestly.” Shining said trying to make Spike happy.

“Then why do I feel like a bad one?” He asked. But then, he felt something. A connection that he had Twilight make with the one he loves.

Spike! Help! A familiar voice yelled in his thoughts.

“Guys Rarity’s in trouble! I gotta go now!” Spike said as he started to run towards his clothes and put them on in a flash. He then zoomed towards the door and busted the door leaving a Spike shaped hole in the wall.

“Ah’ll grab the tools.” Big Mac said as he got up.

Spike was running as fast as he could towards Ponyville, hoping Rarity would be alright. He soon arrived at the boutique and saw that it was frozen and and in shambles. He tore through the place and saw Twilight laying in a crumpled heap.

“TWILIGHT!” He screamed as he ran to her only to slip around on the frozen floor. As he tried to keep his balance, he slid over to her and picked her up. Spike felt the top of her head.

She’s freezing. Better warm things up. He said as he got some nearby wood and breathed some fire on them. As he did this he realized something. It’s the middle of the day and the sun is out…. so how did the boutique become frozen? He wondered. But then, he heard the cackling of a wicked mare. As Twilight warmed up, he slowly snuck outside and peered to see a Pegasus wearing green and yellow armor. He remembered that Rainbow Dash told him that she had a sister and he even remembered her name, Lightki.

“Now, get her on the carriage. Equestragard isn’t gonna wait for it’s new sculpture!” Lightki said angrily as giant ice ponies moved his frozen wife around. Spike then growled and let out a little steam from his nostrils as he charged the blue mare. She turned around and noticed that the purple dragon was turning giant and becoming a little green as well. She then held out a scepter and blasted him mid-transformation with her staff. The blast sent him back and into the boutique.

“Hahaha! Now that was a blast!” Lightki said with a smile on her muzzle. Spike, who was dazed by the blast, got out of the collapsed boutique wall and start to charge again.

“Tisk, tisk. Do you ever learn?” The wicked mare asked as she blasted at him again. The blast recoiled this time, though, and Spike rushed her again. He balled his fist and was about to smash her when he found his left hand empty.

“What the buck?” Spike wondered when he turned and saw Lightki standing there with a smirk on her face.

“Missed me.” She said as she turned her staff into a large club and smacked him with it sending him flying into the air. Then using her magic, she made a hole in the ground and Spike fell in it. “HAHA! A hole in one!” Lightki cheered as her scepter turned back. Spike used his claws and climbed out of the hole and began to charge her again.

“WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY WIFE?!” Spike roared as he managed to grab Lightki this time. He then felt cold all of a sudden and saw her become partially blue and her eyes bloodshot red.

“I think it’s time for you to cool down.” She said as she touched Spike’s hand, freezing it solid. She then slipped out of his hand and landed a blow to his jaw sending him staggering backwards. But as Lightki charged him, a blast of lightning struck her chest.

“BACK OFF SIS!” Soar yelled as she descended and fried Lightki’s frost giant guards. Lightki only looked up and laughed a little.

“I missed you too sister.” Lightki chuckled. Her sister then walked forward and grabbed her by the shoulders… and hugged her. But then, Lightki gave her sister a chilling touch ,freezing her in a thick sheet of ice.

“But… this is between me and him.” Lightki said as she released her sister. The Pegasus then turned back to the dragon who seemed to have been thawing out his wife.

“Hold on Rarity I’ll get you out just hold on!” Spike said as he kept blowing his fire on her and thawing her out slowly. He almost got her head free when he felt a familiar chill.

“Hi. Miss me?” Lightki said as she threw him across the street. She then saw the mare and came up with a nasty plan. Picking up her staff, she held it above her head.

“Time for some ice cubes.” She said as she readied her swing. But then, as Spike recovered from the throw, he saw what Lightki was about to do. Then, he felt an inner rage that he never felt in years. Spike quickly rose to his feet and released a powerful roar.

Lightki turned her head only to be grabbed by her leg. Drake then started to slam the mare into the ground, making concrete fly into the air. He repeated this several times and finally slammed her to his right as he walked off and said, in a booming voice, “Puny Goddess.” The sound of Lightki groaning silently was heard to those who paid attention. He then, with a single flick, shattered the ice on Soar.

“T-thanks Sp-Spike. What about R-Rarity?” She asked him. Spike’s eyes suddenly shot open as he saw his love suddenly thawed before him and on the ground. He ran towards her and saw something else. In her hand, plain as day, was a strip that had a red plus on it.

“She’s p-pr-preg-” He started.

“Are you okay Spike?” Soar asked him as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Hehe. Good night.” He said before he fainted and fell to his back.

In a dark cavern deep in the Arctic North, however, several villains were coming together. As the villains spoke to each other, King Sombra appeared in front of them, gaining their attention.

“Good evening. As you might’ve heard, Lightki was recently defeated.” He said making the villains talk amongst themselves.

“Well that’s just great now who’s gonna fill her spot huh big shot?” a pony who looked as though he was made of Lightning, which he was. This villain was the one known as Electro and a former member of The Sinister Six.

“Patience my electric friend. My friend over here.” He pointed towards the emerald cloaked mare with a gloved hand that still showed her rings. “Has already picked a suitable candidate. You should know him though Electro.”

“Yeah.” Electro said as he got up with a look of confusion on his face. “And who’s that?” His answer was met with a maniacal cackle.

“That would be me old buddy!” A familiar voice said. The sound of a glider could be heard as a dark green scaled pony soon flew into view. “Hi Electro. Did you miss me?” The Green Goblin asked the surprised villain as he stumbled backwards.

“G-Goblin?” Electro asked in surprise.

“It is. I’m baaaaack!” He sang. He then held out a clawed hand and a pumpkin bomb flew into it. “Now then… where do I sign up?!”
