Spike's Brother

I DON’T OWN My Little Pony: FiM,  NOR DRAGONFORCE, I JUST COPIED AND PASTED LYRICS, I hope that is okay(p.s. there was one line that I added a ‘WHOA’ ,no need to make a deal about it, please)!! DISCLAIMER!

Standing in the middle of town, PonyVille. The sun was beginning to fall behind the cloud line, ponies were still about. I could not have chosen a better time!

Adjusting the mic. I scan my friends; Matty is tightening her drums, and Ozzy toning his double guitar. The street ponies were collecting in booths around restaurants, some were pulling up chairs, and others were laying out blankets. They knew what we were doing, but they wouldn’t guess what we were going to play!

A back-home dragon favorite, DragonForce! My team and I have mastered most their songs. The wicked chords are loved by our home dragon villa. I have got the best singing, and Matty and Ozzy have got the instrumental to key. These ponies going to explode! Or at least really like it.

I step onto a small pedestal in front of the growing mass.

“HELLOOOO PONY FOLK! My team and I enjoyed the warm welcome, but now,” I announced then paused, “It‘s time to return the favor! ENJOY THE HEAVY METAL!”

Ozzy strummed his double guitar. Matty did a few beats on the drums for a check. I took in a big breath.

The drums and guitar took off in harmony. The pressure was raising the chords were getting heavier. Then it was time:

Bursting through the fires avenging

Fatal warning battles are raging

Power of darkness rise for the fight

We'll be strong and stand our ground

Death is all around us and my heart is beating weaker

Fight the day with power of immortal souls arise

Fire in our hearts the evil rages on forever more

Burning until the battle rage is gone

Through damnation we rise sign of the times master of bleeding eyes

Thunder and high look to the sky you never gonna take us down!

And we will cross the evil standing on the temple in the fire storming

Fly beyond the lost horizons high

Heroes of the night are calling

See the promised land is falling

Reaching for the powers deep inside

On through the night

Blinded by the hate and desire

Burning in your heart like a fire

Challenging all the suffer and fear our horizons take control

Blood spills all around us and our enemies draw nearer

Sacrifice your life to have them carry you away

Take us to the place of death and carry on forever more

Burning on the dreams of memories long gone!

And you'll die for your crimes sign of the times master of endless lies

Fight to the end now we ascend together we will take them down

And we will cross the evil standing on the temple in the fire storming

Fly beyond the lost horizons high

Heroes of the night are calling

See the promised land is falling

Reaching for the powers deep inside

On through the night

[Instrumental Bridge]

WHOOOoooooOOOOOAAAAAA

And we will cross the evil standing on the temple in the fire storming

Fly beyond the lost horizons high

Heroes of the night are calling

See the promised land is falling

Reaching for the powers deep inside

On through the night

Wicked  solos, several minutes, solid, long ended the song

Ponies head-banging, some jumping in place cheering for more. Older ponies were left mouth gapping. Overall I think they liked it!

Just as I stepped down from the pedestal, there were cheers calling for an encore. I laughed, “Does anyone got a bottle of water?” As I finished asking, several bottles were tossed to us. Catching a few as other hit the ground. I tossed one to Matty and Ozzy, who were panting. We chugged them, picking up the others, missed, for more. After we were refreshed we readied for another song.

“That was awesome, I’m glad u all liked it!, but I need to tone it down a little for the song I want to do after this next one!” I announced. The ponies cheered, they wanted to hear it all.

Chords beat, the mood is totally different now. Lighter, slower, I had to find a piano for some the parts.

The mood was set and I went:

One dream in all of us still shining

One star the everlasting light

So alone so lost inside, to the end in paradise

United victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight

In the dark December morning light

Fall strong to the burning winds the fires of hell will

forsake me

Shattering the chains that ever bind us

Suffering their pain eternally

Four strong, smash the silence, carry on like before

Fires burn, still we battle, lost so far away

Storm winds, hell fire raging, sun shines down as they kneel

Lost in times and long forgotten gathering miles away

Tears fall inside the dream our last days gone by

Still alive we feel the pain tonight

Stars fall through blackened clouds in dreams sadness reigns

A twilight star in a thousand lights for me

OOOOOOOOOOOOOooooOOOOHH

One dream in all of us still shining

One star the everlasting light

So alone so lost inside, to the end in paradise

Salvation of mankind returns

And still we save a prayer for the world

Life brings hope for us all

United victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight

[Solos]

One dream in all of us still shining

One star the everlasting light

One dream in all of us still shining

One star the everlasting light

So alone so lost inside, to the end in paradise

Salvation of mankind returns

And still we save a prayer for the world

Life brings hope for us all

United victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight...

United victorious, the hearts of our nation tonight.

The crowd was swaying, some of the unicorns lit a tiny flame as they swayed.

The song had left me with energy to amplify! I needed to knock their socks off with something heavy!

I grabbed another drink of water. Cleared my throat then looked to them, who noticed my mood. Settling down the ponies waited for the next song.

Ozzy and Matty readied.

I started:

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

Ozzy and Matty began with a heavy solo.

Crossing battles, savage seas towards the mountains high

Forest plains of wilderness we're striking out tonight!

On towards our destiny we travel far and wide

Journey through the darkness as your hearts refuse to die

In the flames of hell we fire at will the fires of doom has come

With the forces of the blackest knights they're staring at the sun

Far across the distant plains of ice we're searching for the sword

When the time has come for battle now we follow with the horde

We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky

In the land of long ago forever in our souls

Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright

In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

Warrior Soldiers forever we fought long ago

We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

Fallen soldiers taste the steel of death the daylight dawning

Sun will shine upon the lives of burning hearts of ice!

As you break through the boundaries of life this feeling of despair

And they die in their sleep for the world that will not care

You feel lost in this labyrinth of pain this sickening dismay

There's a voice inside that's calling another wasted day

Can't you see the history the suffocating madness?

In the land of fallen souls there's nowhere left, no place to go

I have traveled far and wide across this wasteland

Still searching for the answers for the right to understand

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

Warrior Soldiers forever we fought long ago

We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

Warrior Soldiers forever we fought long ago

We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

Riding through starlight and smashing the boundaries as hellfire falls from the sky

A shadow of pain will arise from the ashes of those fallen ones who have died

Our only master with fire and fury of hell will see his bidding done

Blasting from high as the battle unfolds to the gates of the city we come!

[Sick Solos!]

We will ride with fire burning hot towards the night sky

In the land of long ago forever in our souls

Fly on wings of shining steel are burning so bright

In ancient lands of warriors we're riding on again

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

Warrior Soldiers forever we fought long ago

We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

Burning fires burning lives on the long distant roads

Through the lost mountains endless so far away from home

Warrior Soldiers forever we fought long ago

We're all lost in the darkness so far away from home

Picking up we went into another song, heavier than the last. The mass noticed and cheered louder as we picked up.

I pulled out my keytar for a short techno intro. Then Matty and Ozzy picked up from there with an astonishing solo, letting me begin:

In a lifetime of decay, silent cry for yesterday

When the world will see the end of eternity

Sacrifice before the dawn of a child soon to be born

Before the night, too many tears we cried

In a long forgotten land

Through the silent raging pain

Of the price to pay that awaits for me

The end of all our destiny

Don't close your eyes tonight

For the lights beyond still shine towards a brighter day

The time has come for us, tread blood across the sands

Carry on as the red rivers run

And through the wilderness we feel the pouring rain

In the silence ever searching on through the misery

And all the promises we made and cried in vain

Don't you take the time to realize the master of disguise?

Blind my eyes, burning forever, to wash my sins away

Out of the dark, pain is the price

Fly away out of the raging storm

Lost within my memories

Still haunting me

A Never ending story

Far and wide, forever on

Stand before the world alone

We journey to the other side

Raise your hands to the sky!

Through the night and through the day

Don't look back no time to pray

The battle rages on,

Marching on and on

Don't cry for me tonight

For the lights beyond will guide me home tomorrow

The time will come for us the curse is growing strong

Carry on with the rise of the sun

So take me far away its time to set me free

All my life I have been waiting but I could never see

Raising your hands to the sky

Turning your eyes to the sun

Pray for forgiveness,

The power to save us

Has gone for the last time and..

Blind my eyes, burning forever, to wash my sins away

Out of the dark, pain is the price

Fly away out of the raging storm

Lost within my memories

Still haunting me

A Never ending story

[Wicked Solo]

Blind my eyes, burning forever, to wash my sins away

Out of the dark, pain is the price

Fly away out of the raging storm

Lost within my memories

Still haunting me

A Never ending story

The day went on and the ponies kept rocking! It was late-afternoon before Spike finally showed up with his friends. Spike jumped to the fast heavy songs and swayed to the slower songs, his cheering made me proud. Twilight was tapping to the beat. Pinkie Pie hopping around and head-banging with the crowd, AppleJack was dancing with Rarity who was also enjoying the music surprisingly and Rainbow Dash tried to air guitar alone with Ozzy, flying next to and copying him. Ozzy just let her go on, and Matty laughed at him blush.  Then there was FlutterShy, she seemed to shrink back when the chords got heaviest, but over all she was staying away from the crowd, next to Twilight mostly, tapping her hoof along.

Sky ponies had gotten involved and positioned the clouds to make the light center on us. They rolled in fog which added awe to the performance! They loved us. And I loved them, but  mostly Fluttershy…………and Spike!

The sun was beginning to go down and the light was getting dim. The music slowed, finally to our last song. The crowd was slowing as well. They had obviously never rocked dragon style before. Setting the guitar down, “Thank you everybody who enjoyed that! AND a big thanks to the Sky ponies who added the fog, I would not have been the same with out it!………..I need to rest, along with my team, we only thought we would be only doing three songs before you all got tired…but all in all…THANK YOU AGAIN FOR ENJOYING!!!”

We returned the to library, everypony was swarming the place asking for autographs  and wanting photos. It was about ten minutes before the swarm of fans had left. Matty occupied herself with a book, Ozzy did push-ups, and I found a bed and sprawled out in it. I was about ready to start dozing off when to door opened, Spike and his friends had entered.

“Oh man that was so AWESOME!” Spike hopped in jubilation, “Did you see him all like aaaaawwww, and him,” pointing to Ozzy, making an air guitar, “like blannannanananahhhh!! A-And her,” pointing to Matty, with an imaginary drum,“all like bumbumdum pattizz bududum bududum!!”

Pinkie Pie joined him with sound effects and cheer! Rainbow Dash flew over to Ozzy, who got up from his work out, “You were pretty fast out there….. with your strumming that is!” he blushed at her complement!

“Ya‘ll sure do know how to rock!” Applejack chimed in, extending a hoof to Matty!

“Thanks,”  Matty said, shaking her hoof.

“You must have had to practice a lot,” Twilight said.

“YUP,” I said, hopping from the ledge in front of everyone. “ ’Bout 25..or was it 27 years perfecting? Matty, do you remember?”

“It was 26, actually,” she replied.

The ponies brought their heads back, even Spike. There was an awkward silence for a moment, until Rainbow Dash finally broke it with, “WHOA whoa, wait a second! How old are you all now?”

Ozzy, Matty, and I exchanged a glance, “155 years old, but Ozzy is 156,” I said.

The ponies gasped, “You‘re older than one hundred, w-wow…” Apple Jack responded.

“You look so young! Darling I must know how you do it!” Rarity asked Matty.

“Dragons naturally live long…..the oldest I‘ve met was a 5000 years old”, Matty said.

“My goodness!”

“You shouldn’t be worried it doesn’t change anything, it‘s just that we don’t age as quickly as others!” I reassured them.

“Wow, that interests me in your species a little more! I‘m going to have to research it tonight,” Twilight said.

“Whoa! Does that mean I‘ll live forever, too?” Spike said.

“Not forever, but a while,” I chuckled, “I remember my first 50 years as a baby, playing for several days and then eating a few hours….good times…”

“Well it‘s mighty late ya‘ll I‘m gonna head in, night,” AppleJack yawned as nodded and walked out.

Following AppleJack, Rarity added, “Agreed, night darlings!”

“Haha, yeah it‘s pretty late I gotta jet,” Rainbow Dash gave Ozzy a brofist before flying out waving bye to all of us.

Pinkie Pie hopped over each of us landing next Matty, “Okie Dokie Lokie! Buuuh-Bye every one!” She hopped out an open window.

FlutterShy slowly walked over to the door being the last one out. Quickly, I dashed to the door opening it for her, “Here you go,” I smiled as she blushed then thanked me and walked out.

Closing the door, I turned to the rest of everyone, who were trying not to laugh, “I do something funny?”

“No no, Romeo, nothing,” Matty teased.

“Smooth,” Ozzy chimed.

Twilight holding a hoof over her mouth, trying not to laugh, “My my how sweet…*chuckle*… of you!”

“Is that right Bro do you have a crush!?” Spike said a loud. Causing my face to go red, with embarrassment.

I looks away rubbing my snout, “Maybe,” I looked back to them, “Just don’t tell anyone as of yet! I don’t want to seem like I’m coming on too fast!”

They all shared a little laugh at me a moment longer. Before I let out a snort of irritation. They all finally stopped and Twilight asked, “Okay then, Pike. So where are you going to sleep tonight? Last time you were on a bookshelf that had fallen over.”

I pondered, “That bed up there was plenty comfy, but I think that is your bed if I‘m not mistaken.”

We settled sleeping arrangements and finally got rest. The night was cool  and the sky was beautiful with star glittering. An alicorn body flew by. And the moon was full, you could almost hear howls from a pack of dogs.
