Whack your Assistant!

As the spell ended and Spike was his old self, his legs buckled and he placed his hands over his privates before he feel to the ground.

“You ok?” Twilight asked, smiling at his pain.

“Owwwww, why does my…” Spike said in a painful groan as he pulled his hands away before putting back on.

“Simple. I used a baseball bat,” Twilight replied eagerly as she conjured up a bat for him to see.

“Wait, when did… you hit me?” Spike said to her, unsure of how he never noticed a bat or even remembered being hit by one.

“Not important,” Twilight replied as she swung the bat in the air for a few seconds before making it disappear. “What’s important is the question I am about to ask you. Do you remember when we had that parasprite invasion?”

“You… mean the one where Pinkie ended up saving and you pretty much destroyed the town when you altered their eating habits?” Spike replied as he forced himself to stand up.

“Hey! At least I did something you useless dragon!” Twilight snapped at him.

“Did… you just call me useless?” Spike replied his little heart nearly broken by the backlash he got.

“Sorry,” Twilight replied in a faux manner. “Anyhow lets see if a parasprite’s eating habits can be altered to eat baby dragons.”

“Wait, why!?”

Twilight didn’t answer and quickly thought up the summoning spell for a parasprite. A flare of her horn along with a twinkle in the air and a little blue parasprite appeared. The little parasprite looked around curiously as it hummed to itself and quickly noticed the lavender mare. Flying to her, it nuzzled her cheek with affection before looking around for some food to eat.

“You know, I wonder if I could keep one of these things as a pet and try to see if I can make it life without it eating everything in sight,” Twilight said quietly as she flared up her horn for the next part of her spell.

Once she had the spell in place, she launched it at the blue bug and changes its eyes from yellow to a deep red. With its new craving, the parasprite looked to the baby young near it and flashed a toothy grin.

“Spike, I don’t think this particular parasprite is fond of you,” Twilight said with a chuckle as she watched the little guy fly at him.

Fearing for his life, Spike shot out a breath of fire, hoping to roast the bug, but he missed completely when the parasprite dodged the flame and when right for his throat. Spike couldn’t react in time and as the flesh ripping teeth tore a strip out of him, he reeled back in pain and tried to scream. His cries only came out as gurgled noises before the parasprite finished chewing what he had in his mouth, before latching onto the leg and biting it clean off.

“Amazing. When given the right appetite, a parasprite can even chew through dragon scales,” Twilight said astounded by the strength the little bug showed.

Short a leg, Spike desperately pulled his body away, doing his best to not choke on his own blood. Sadly the blood loss was too much for him and the last thing he saw was a row of sharp teeth accompanied with a blackless void. The parasprite bit his face off, along with a piece of a small brain. As the parasprite continued to feast, Twilight got her letter and began to write.

Death experiment number 10- The parasprite. The parasprite can be a very deadly weapon and great use to unicorns who can alter its eating habits…

Twilight looked up and saw the parasprite eagerly chewing into the spinal scales, the hardest scales on the dragon body, and eating them with ease.

The parasprite has the ability to chew through anything and everything and made a meal out of the victim in mere seconds. One should also be quick in disposing of the bug right after in case it quickly breeds itself.

Done with the note, Twilight heard the sound of a burp and knew her little friend was starting to reproduce. Though she wrote down to dispose of them, the little parasprites flew towards her and attempted to snuggle into her mane.

“Sorry little guys,” Twilight said as she grabbed them with magic and made them disappear. “I can’t keep you.”

Grabbing a scroll, Twilight gave the chewed up remains that the parasprite left behind a smile.

“Part of me wants to watch that again… no, I really shouldn’t… ok I am! Time reset!”

Twilight watched the scene play out a second time before she grabbed another scroll.
