“Fish and Wildlife wants to fine us for killing a giant mutant Tennessee River catfish because it was endangered. Sure it had just crawled up on land and eaten some teenagers, but it was still an endangered species.”
― Larry Correia, Monster Hunter International

It was a Windy day in Canterlot. Inside the barracks, which is inside the castle, was the sound of metal clashing. Inside, there was a green and purple dragon with a blue hoodie, and long black sweat pants with a hole on the back for his long green tail, and in his claws were two swords. His foe is a huge Minotaur with a green shirt, blue shorts and a long sword. They clashed for a few more minutes until the dragon tripped the Minotaur, sending him crashing onto the floor with a loud thud. The purple and green dragon put his foot on his chest and his two blades in an ‘X’ shape around the Minotaur’s neck.

"STOP!" A bald Pegasus, with a tank top and red shorts, yelled. The dragon helped the Minotaur up and, once he got up, the two bowed at the Pegasus. "You two are done training for today. Now go have lunch, you two must be very hungry," He said before they nodded and walked out of the barracks. The dragon put his two swords near each other, fusing them into one sword, and put it into his scabbard. The Minotaur put his sword in his scabbard, which was on his back.

"Wow, Iron you've gotten better," The Dragon said while walking towards the door with the Minotaur.

"You are just being nice, Spike. You know that I can't swing my sword for shit," Iron Will said.

"No, I really mean that. You are getting better."

"Whatever floats your boat, dude."

Spike rolled his eyes at his friend's self-bashing.

The two entered the cafeteria, which had all sorts of monsters and species from all over the world eating different types of food. They went into a line and grabbed trays. Spike got a daisy sandwich and Iron Will got a carrot hot dog. When the two walked out, they started looking for a table, until a voce stopped them.

"Spike! Iron Will! Over here!" A light green unicorn with a white shirt and black shorts said, while she was waving her hands in the air. The two saw her and went to her table.

"Hey Lyra," The two said in unison, while they were taking their seats.

"What are you doing here? I thought my mom told you to kill that vampire that was harming the residents of a village." Spike asked, before taking a bite in his sandwich.

"Well, I decapitated her. Do you want to see her head?" Lyra asked.

"Hell yeah!" Spike said.

"Well, I don't want to," Iron Will said.

"Close your eyes then, Iron Wimp." She said. Iron just looked away and Lyra pulled out the head. The head was a young mare, blood was dripping out of the bottom and its spine was hanging out.

"Wow that is so cool!" Spike exclaimed.

"I know. I chopped the bitch's head off when she was about to suck the blood out of a stallion." She explained.

"Can you put the head away? You’re making me lose my appetite," Iron Will said. Spike and Lyra snickered at their friend's weak stomach. Lyra put the dismembered head back in her bag where the head initially resided.

"Are you feeling better, sissy?" Spike said while nudging him lightly on his shoulder. The Minotaur grumbled slightly, before taking a bite out of his carrot dog.

After the three finished lunch, Spike went to see his mom and aunt. Iron Will went to help his dad, the blacksmith, and Lyra went to get her bounty. Spike cheerfully ran thru the halls of the castle until he stopped at a big door with two guards in golden armor guarding it.
"Hey Spike," One of the guards said. "Did you need to see Celestia and Luna?"

"Yep," Spike said. The two gave a nod.

When he entered, he saw his mom and Aunt were arguing about the recent monster attacks and how to get rid of them. He saw his mom's sword and his aunt's sword in the air to make their points.

"Hey mom! Hey auntie! What’s up?" The young dragon said getting their attention.

"Oh. Hello Spike. Do you need help?" Luna asked.

"Not right now. So... what monsters are you trying to kick out?" He asked.

"Just a pack of Werewolves, my son," Celestia said firmly.

"Why don't you two ask Sherly the Medium? She knows how to kick Werewolves out of places." Spike said.

"Yes... This is true... She is very good at what she does, Spike." Luna said.

"Plus we could do it and not upset the Werewolves... And maybe we can get some to join us." Celestia added.

"I would love to see a Werewolf here that doesn't want to rip everyone to shreds." Spike said, with a chuckle.

"Me too," Celestia said. "So why did you come to see us?"

"Well... I want to live somewhere outside the city." Spike said firmly.

"What about the town nearby?" Luna offered.

"The one filled with monsters that are peaceful?" Celestia asked.

"Is there any other one?" Luna said rolling her eyes.

"So... Is that a yes or a no?" Spike asked.

"That is a yes." Luna said. "You can go to Bloodville."

"YES! YES! YES! YES!" Spike exclaimed, jumping around the room like a filly. "I'll get my stuff and take my leave there right away!" He said while running out of the room.

Spike ran towards is room, grabbed some of his clothes and placed his guitar on his back. He shoved his clothes in his backpack and raced out his room. He was running towards the town until he ran into a figure.
