Another beautiful day rose over the land of Equestria. I was in the weight room, doing some lifting and training. I was blowing some steam off after what happened yesterday. Yesterday, Twilight and the others came by to see me, but I shut them down hard. I kinda felt bad, but I needed to get what I wanted to say off of my chest.


After one final swing with my sword, I sighed and sheathed my blade. I walked over to the tables and drank some water from a water bottle. Cadence was there watching me. I was grateful she was here. She made me happy again, and I would still be depressed after what happened.

After I finished my training, I walked back to the throne room, with Cadence following me.

“Are you going back to Ponyville today?” Cadence asked.


“Yeah.” Even though I didn’t want to, I still wanted to see the boys again. Pip must also be sad out of his mind if he found out I left. Before spending time with Button and his family, I lost sight of what was important than myself and my problems. My friends,and my family. Pip, Spike and Will still stood by me. I miss them, so I want to head back and see them again.

“I know this is still hard for you, but I’m glad you’re making the right choice going back to Ponyville, to see Will, Spike and your son Pipsqueak.”

“Huh? Well, Pip isn’t really my son.” I stated rubbing my neck.

“But you treat him like one.” I looked at Cadence and she smiled. “I know you two have such an incredible bond. It’s filled with love, happiness and protection.”

I smiled. “Yeah. You make some good points there.”

“Are you planning on adopting him?”

“Uh?” I was surprised by her question, and thought for a moment. “Well, I haven’t thought about it in a while. I just don’t know if I’m ready to take the responsibility of being the father of a child.”

“I know you will be someday.” I looked back at Cadence and she gave me a loving smile. “I know for certain you’re future will become even brighter when you adopt him. Pip really looks up to you beyond anypony I know. You have a very kind heart to help others.”

I frowned slightly and looked down. “Yeah, like I how I helped the boys when I left them, and the fact that the girls needed me, but I shut them down hard.”

Cadence placed a hand on my shoulder, and I looked at her.

“I know this is still hard to forgive them, but I know you will find it in your heart someday. Forgiveness is the key to action and freedom.” She said.

I gasped at that quote. I know for certain I heard from it before. But by now…hearing it is what I needed. I smiled and hugged Cadence.

Thank you Cadence. I needed that.” I said.

Cadence blushed a little, but smiled and returned the embrace. “Take each step slow and steady, and you will find happiness again.”

I broke the hug and smiled and nodded. “Thanks. Tell Celestia, Luna and Aurora I said goodbye. I got to get back to see my bros.” I ran down the halls, while I heard Cadence call out.

“We’ll be here if you ever need us!”

I got out f the castle and summoned Kasai. When he was summoned, I got onto his back and we flew off together.

As we flew back, my smile slowly started to fade. Something in my gut…was telling me…trouble…is about to emerge from…the shadows.

(Que Opening 1 or the Fan Opening)

(The music starts and seven different colored orbs move around the black screen, leaving a glitter path behind them. The orbs moved faster and then, they clash together, and a bright light filled the screen. The light fades, and the title Equestrians Human Spirit is seen. The light shines off the title and gives off an amazing flash at the edge, until the screen changes.)

Standing here with dried-up lips
Being unprotected right below

(The camera moved around a bit until Daniel is seen on an edge of a cliff, with the wind blowing through his hair and clothing. Daniel opens his eyes and looks up at the blue sky.)

the freezing sunlight

(Daniel Smiles and jumps off the edge, opening his wings and flying off in the distance.)

Countless tears are overflowing
Falling as they scrape against my face,

(Spike is seen next, while a few tears flow out of his eyes. A dark figure in the shape of a dragon, same height as him, while his purple eyes glowed and a evil smile formed.)

With a shining light so bright

(Then, a light is shown in front of spike, making the dark figure disappear, and making the young drake smiled and rush forward to the light.)

I've been searching far and wide for your presence close to me
So I can reach out, and fill my empty heart.

(Daniel is seen again, on the same cliff, looking up at the night sky. He sees his mother and grandfather smiling warmly at him, while Daniel reaches out for them. His family vanishes, making his hand drop, and he lowered his head while tears flowed.)

But when I hold your hand, I'm able to feel the loneliness that's inside of you

(A purple hand takes his hand softly, making him look up and behind him, and sees Twilight, her friends, Spike, Pipsqueak, the four princesses, Shining, and Aurora smiling at him.)

When We're miles apart!!

(Daniel smiles as well, and jumps to the camera, unsheathing his sword and slashing the view in white.)

The wish that we held on to, in the middle of our hearts

(The view changes and Tom, Chuck and Will are seen in the front, while Two shadow Alicorn beings stood behind them, smirking evilly, while Will frowns a little.)

was torn apart by destiny

(The camera moves and shows Daniel with a determined face, and roars, transforming into his fire form, and charges at the shadow beings and humans.)

And even though you vanished from my life,

(The main six are seen, wearing the Elements of Harmony. Two rainbows shot up and collided and explode.)

I still have the memories

(Spike jumps in the air and fires a fire breath at a black cloak being, smirking evilly, and the fire hits him, engulfing the screen.)

that you left behind

(Kasai, and thirteen other dragons, covered in shadows appear and roar together.)

And right now, I can feel you here…

(Daniel in fire form holds his wrist up, and Kasai’s gem appears. He grabs the gem, and plunges it into his chest, and he’s engulfed in flames. His mother was on his right, while his Grandfather was on his left, as spirits.)

in me.

(Daniel throws his hands out, covering the screen in white.)

(The screen shows Daniel Landing on the ground, and pulling his sword out, giving it one swing, and smiled, with his friends behind him, smiling as well. The title Equestrians Human Spirit is shown on the bottom.The Screen then goes black.)

(Opening Ends)

Chapter 44: The Lost Drake(Un-Edited)

I finally returned home from my time off, away from Ponyville. It kinda felt good to be home. Like that, I can finally have some time to spend time with Pip, Spike and Will. I sighed and got off of the fire dragon. He vanished and I was staring to walk back to the Library.

As I was walking back to the library, I realized it was a little quiet. The only time it’s been at least this quiet was when the Heat season was starting and the time when Tom and the others came to Equestria, and after they kidnapped Pipsqueak.

“Daniel!”

I looked ahead and saw Will running up to me, and I could tell something was bothering him.

“Will, what is it?” I asked when he stood in front of me, while trying to get his breath back.

“Glad your back. Listen, we have a problem. A big one.” A big one? I gotta hear this.

“What’s wrong?”

“Spikes gone.” What!? Is he joking!?

“Tell me you’re not joking right now.”

“I’m not. Matters worse, hell broke loose at the library.” He explained.

My face hardened. “Let’s go then.”

We nodded and headed for the library. When we got there and opened the door, Will was right. Hell did break loos in here.

Many of the books on the shelves were scattered everywhere on the floor. Many of them were also scorched into ashes, like somepony burned them. Many things that were once on the tables, were scattered on the floor as well, while a few like the vases were shattered into pieces. When shocked me a little, is that there was blood on the floor.

“Jesus. It’s like WW2 hit this place.” I said, seeing the devastation around me.

“I know what you mean. Come on, Twilight and the others are in the other room.”

We left the family room and entered the living room. As we stepped in, everypony was around Twilight, who was slowly rocking in a chair, with the fireplace flickering with its embers. In her hands, was a small pic of Spike as a baby, who was smiling happily.

I stepped forward and got everypony’s attention.

“Will told me Spike Ran away. What happened, and why is the library in the condition of a war zone?” I questioned, while narrowing my eyes a little.

Everypony was silent, while they hung their heads in shame. I couldn’t take the silence. I stepped forward and faced Twilight, who was in bad shape.

Here lavender eyes were all puffy and red, with tear streaks all over her cheeks. Her mane was all frizzled. On her cheek was a scratch mark, which was a little deep, and still looked a little fresh.

“Twi…” Twilight slowly looked up at me, who was starting to shake a little. “Where’s Spike?” Her body trembled more at the mention of his name, and tears started pouring again.

“Where. Is. Spike?” I asked more sterner.

“He’s…he’s gone. I…I don’t know why though.” Twilight whimpered.

I calmed a little bit, and allowed her to talk. “Tell me what happened.”

She took a shaky breath and then spoke.

“It started two days ago after you left…”

Flashback. Two days ago

Spike was cleaning while Twilight was out with her friends. He was putting the books back that Twilight left on the tables that she left. Without the use of magic, it was very difficult for him. He wasn’t happy with this. Not one bit.

He was starting to get fed up with this situation. He was getting tired of being left behind. Every time Twilight would leave him behind and hang with her friends, and so forth. While he was left back at the library, cleaning up her messes. He asked many times if he could come, but she didn’t listen since she was pacing so fast to get ready.

Spike sighed exhaustedly and slumped onto the couch, finally finished with the mess Twilight made. After taking his breather, he slowly rose his head, wondering what he should do. Without Daniel here, things weren’t the same. He missed him. Even though he was happy Pipsqueak was living here, it didn’t make up that he was at school.

He was alone. Like usual.

He decided to take a walk to chill, hoping he would find something to do. He locked up and left. The feeling of the warm air around him eased his mind, making him smile a little. As he continued onward, memories of Daniel flooded his brain. His kindness, understanding, and the way he helped him with his problems.

Spike was still upset with Twilight and the others after the way they treated Daniel. He couldn’t believe his own friends would even do something like that to him? First being ignored by Twilight and the others, and now his human brother gone? How much more can they keep this up?

“Hey Spike.”

The young Drake looked up and saw his other human friend, Will.

“Hey Will.”

“You doing okay?”

“Not really. I miss Daniel.”

Will frowned. “Yeah, me too. How’s the kid doing? You know, Pip?”

“He’s heart broken. He hasn’t been himself when he found out Daniel is gone.”

“I see.” Will then growled a little. “I want to smack some sense into Twilight and the others.”

“What about us?”

The two looked back and saw Twilight and the others.


Will growled. “I’m talking about knocking some sense into you traitors!”

“What the hay did we do!?” Rainbow asked now getting pissed off.

“What did you guys DO!? I’m talking about what you all did to Daniel!” Will shouted.

They were all surprised by the sudden answer from the human,a nd didn’t know what he was talking about.

“What are you saying Will?” Twilight asked.

“Don’t fucking play dumb with me Twilight! I’m talking about on how you all talked shit about Daniel being dangerous and you all thinking of him as a demon!”

They looked shocked now.


“How did ya know about wut we said?” Applejack asked.

Will snorted and threw the scroll Daniel written to their feet. “Read this and you’ll understand.”

Twilight picked up the scroll and read it, with the girls reading it as well. As they finished, they were shocked to the core, that Daniel ran away. Twilight dropped the scroll.

“Now do you guys get it? Daniel ran away because you all treated him like shit!” Will shouted. “Did you not understand how he felt when you said that stuff to him!? How could you all say that Daniel should be sent away because he’s a demon!?”

Twilight gasped. “N-no, we didn’t mean Daniel, we meant-“

“I don’t care who you’re talking about! The focus on this was Daniel! You all crushed him! How can you all be so heartless!?”

That stung tier hearts and they all bowed in shame.

“Because of all of you, Daniel is gone to who knows where he is.” Will said snorting.

The girls looked at one another with frowns upon their faces. How can they let their fear against Daniel do this to them? They knew they had to fix things with him.

“We don’t know where he might be, but we’ll got o Canterlot tomorrow to ask Celestia where he might be.” Twilight said.


“I’m going.” Spike stated.


“So am I.” Will said.

“No. This is something we all need to do alone.”

“News flash unicorn. Daniel is our friend, and we were the only people in his life now that didn’t abandon him.” Will stated.

“We’re going and that’s final.” Spike added, glaring at the girls.


The main six sighed. “Fine. We’ll leave tomorrow.”

“Daniel…I hope you’ll be okay.” Spike thought.

(Time skip: Next Day)

Spike was not happy at all. Reason? Twilight and the others left early so they can see Daniel by themselves. They wanted to apologize deeply to him and ask for another chance, and they didn’t want the boys to come. This was something they had to do alone. They said they can bring him and Will, but nooooo. They left early and ditched them.

Spike sat in his chair, huffing a little while he was trying to cool off. He then heard the door open, and saw Twilight walk in. Tear streaks were on her cheeks, and her eyes were bloodshot red. Spike knew for certain Daniel gave them a piece of his mind.

“So…how did it go with him?” Spike asked.

“He…he hates us. He doesn’t want to see us for a long time.” Twilight said with her voice cracking.


“Hmph. Served you and the girls right.” Spike got up and started walking away.

Twilight was shocked by his attitude, and she didn’t like it.


“Why are you acting like this Spike?” She asked


“Why am I acting like THIS!? Why did you all have to go say all of that shit about Daniel!?”

“Don’t you dare use that language young man!” Twilight said, now getting angry.

“I can say whatever I damn want! You and the others have done nothing but hurt Daniel, along with myself!”

Twilight looked a little confused.


“What do you mean?”

Spike was now losing his temper.

“What do I MEAN!? I’m talking abut how you and the others have treated me ever since you and I moved to Ponyville! You all have done nothing but hurt and humiliate me!”

“We never did anything like that!”

“Oh really!? What about the time you all left me in that block of Ice during Winter wrap up!? You all did nothing but laugh at me!”

“It was a joke Spike!”

“A JOKE!? I could have died Twilight! You should know that I’m cold blooded! I can’t survive in cold temperatures! You and the others could have helped, but what did you do!? You laughed at and humiliated me!”

“What is it you want from me!?”

“I want you and the others to stop treating me like shit, and I want things to back to what they used to be back in Canterlot, when you actually spend time with me!”

“I always spend time with you Spike!”

“Oh yeah!? Name one thing we did together when we arrived in Ponyville!?”

Twilight opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. He was right. Twilight has done nothing with Spike ever since they arrived. All she did was spend time with her friends, and not him.

“That’s what I thought! You never cared about me at all Twilight! You always left me behind, you and your friends all went on many adventures! I even had to stay behind to look after things in Ponyville on your Celestia Damn Birthday!” Spike shouted.

“You never asked to come Spike! I would have brought you!”

“I did ask you idiot! But you ignored me and left me in the dust!”

Twilight was now getting fed up with this. She was starting to get to the end of her rope.

“We are done with this conversation Spike!”

“There you go again! Trying to ignore the reality of this situation, and how I feel! You want to know something Twilight!? Daniel was the only person in my entire life that understands me and knows what I’m feeling!”

“That’s enough Spike! Don’t you dare bring him into this conversation!” Twilight shouted.

“Why should I not huh!? You and the others left him and avoided him like a demon! Daniel was there for me, and non of you were! DANIEL IS MORE OF A FAMILY TO ME THAN ALL OF YOU WERE COMBINED!!”

“ENOUGH!!”

SMAK

Overwhelmed by hatred, anger and sadness, Twilight slapped Spike hard on the cheeks and he fell to the floor. She was blinded by her inner anger, having to put up everything that happened today.

Spike was on the floor, holding his cheek in pain. He couldn’t believe that Twilight would do something like this. But, he knew this was normal to him, considering how much abuse he gets from her and the others.

Twilight herself was trying to calm down by the sudden outburst. She finally came to her senses and realized what she did. Her eyes widened and she covered her mouth, seeing Spike on the floor.

“Spike…I…I didn’t mean to…”

Spike rose from the ground and rubbed his cheek while his back was turned to her.

“So…this is how it is huh?” He asked in a low tone, but filled with anger.

“Spike I…”

“I did so much for you and the others, and yet you all treat me like always. Nothing but trash. You think I’m nothing but a pawn to you.”

Twilight gasped. “No…I never think of-“

“FUCKING BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT!!” Spike roared turning to her, with flames spilling from his mouth. Twilight jumped by his sudden raise in his voice, and it scared her.

“YOU ALWAYS TREATED ME NOTHING BUT A SLAVE!”

Twilight was aghast at this, never before had Spike been so enraged about anything.

“I don’t treat you...” She was cut off by a jet of orange flames being shot at her. She yelp and jumped away as felt the heat from the flames.

Spike looked at her with the most enraged face she had ever seen from him and began to walk forward, his fist clenched. Twilight backed away until her back bumped against the far wall.

“So you don’t classify leaving me here to do all the chores while you go out and have fun on adventures? Making me clean all the messes you make! Not even getting a ‘Thank you Spike’!”

Twilight was shaking in fear of Spikes fury, "Spike, please calm down.” She said, quivering.

“Calm down?! Calm down?! I will not calm down! You and you're friends always take advantage of me! Rarity uses my feelings for her as a tool, to make me work for her so she doesn't have to! She’s only fucking using me! I hate it when Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie prank me all the time! I hate it when Fluttershy just thinks of me as a BABY! I hate it when Rainbow says I need to stop being a baby, grow up and always say how I lack in wings! I hate it when Pinkie and Applejack never sees anything that’s in front of them, or just ignores it! Do you know how that feels?! Of course you don’t! You know what else I hate?! I hate how you leave me out of every single adventure you go on! Now more than ever! You brought the BUCKING Cutie Mark Crusaders! I am more mature than they’ll ever be! YOU ALL ARE THE WORST! THE ABSOLUTE WORST!!!!! “

Spike was shooting fire with every breath now. Small gusts of wind blew around and some of the vases fell and shattered. Some of the books caught of fire and fell, and reduced to nothing but ashes. Things scattered across the floor.

Spike felt something deep inside of him calling out to him while he screamed at the lavender unicorn. He didn’t know a very thin black aura was around him. He felt his power rising, and his anger getting more and more vicious than ever in his life.

Twilight was laying on the ground covering her head with her arms as the flames flew through the air around her. Every once and awhile embers or just the flames themselves would catch on her giving her serious burns. She was practically crying at this point, praying to Celestia he would stop so she could talk to him.

Soon, after around a few seconds, everything around her calmed. there was only the slow breathing of the young dragon. She slowly looked up at him, with his death glare still locked onto her.

“You destroyed everything in my life Twilight.” He said in a low voice again. “All of you did.” He turned and started walking to the door. He was now leaving.

“Spike wait,” Twilight squeaked out grabbing Spike’s tail, while trying to think of a way to keep Spike from leaving.

Spike felt his tail being tugged back by Twilight, “Let GO!”

SMAK

Spike’s claws made contact with the lavender unicorn cheek. The sound rang out through the library as Twilight fell to the ground. Twilight couldn't move for a moment, once she could, she put her hand up to where Spike had hit her. She felt a warm liquid like substance leak from her cheek onto her hand.

Spike looked at his claw with an emotionless expression, the red liquid oozed down in his claw at an extremely slow rate. It was blood, Twilight’s blood. He would normally freak out by this point, but with overwhelming anger inside of him, he didn’t bother with it.

“Sp-Sp-Spike…”

Twilight was slowly reaching for him, but he smacked her hand away with great force, making her yelp in pain.

Spike looked to the unicorn, “Consider that a warning. If you try to stop me or find me I will make sure you get more than a little cut.” With a flick of his wrist he flung the blood from his claw onto the floor next to Twilight creating a crescent moon.

He turned and walked back to the door, and opened it.

Before he walked out, he turned to her again, with a single tear falling from his cheek.

“You were never my mother.” He slammed the door shut, never coming back now.

That was the final nail to hit. Twilight’s heart shattered into a million pieces, after what he just said. She curled up into a ball and sobbed her heart out. She now lost another person important in her life. First Daniel, and now, her number one assistant.

Flashback End

(Daniel POV)

Everything that Twilight told me shocked me to the core, but I was also furious. That was the end of the line. Now Spike is out there alone, and nopony is out there to help him. Will too was shocked and angry, having to hear what just happened between Twi and Spike. This was a new stope of low to what she did to him.

“Why…why did he go? I don’t understand.” Twilight whimpered.

I growled. “How can you all just treat him like that, and be so stupid?”

They all looked at me.


“What?” Twilight asked.

I looked at them again and my eyes turned black. “All Spike wanted was your love and understanding. He wanted to go on those adventures with you guys, but you all left him in the dust. You all treated him like shit, and only cared for yourselves and not him.”

they all looked shocked, besides Will of course.

“You all did nothing to make him happy. You all ignored him. All he wanted was to spend time with all of you, but neither of you gave him that wish. You all ignored him ever since you guys came to Ponyville. Spike loved you as a mother, and looked up to you Twilight! Now, my little brother is gone! I don’t even know myself where he is! He never deserved any of this! I was more of a family to him than all of you combined!”

That same thing Spike told her rang in her mind.

“First you abandoned me, and now you abandoned Spike. How much more suffering do you all have to give to those that cared for all of you?”

They all hanged their heads in shame.

“I had enough with all of you.” I growled and walked away.

“Where are you going?” Will asked.

“I’m gonna go find him, and I’m gonna try to set things right.” I answered.

I saw the girls looking at me with hope, but I snarled at them, making them step back. “non of you are allowed to come with me. I’m handling this by myself. The last thing I need is all of you slowing me down, and having my little brother seeing you guys.”

they all looked away in shame and backed off.


“I’m outta here.” I walked out, but not before I turned to Will. “Will, do me a favor and look after Pip until I get back. I’m gonna be gone for a bit.”

Will frowned at me and nodded. I nodded back and I left. He sighed and looked back at the girls and glared at them.

“I hope all of you are proud of what you accomplished.” He then walked out as well, leaving the main six in the room, starting to cry, while Twilight collapsed and cried loudly.

I stepped out and looked at the sun. I frowned.


“Spike…where ever you are…I hope you’re safe.” I whispered. I then dashed off to the forest, in hope to find him.

(Netherrealm)

Little did they know, the being in the Netherrealm was watching everything that happened. He was smirking evilly.

“So…they finally break him. Hmhmhmhm. Now…the time has come. Kuro!”

Kuro rose from the shadows and bowed to his master.

“What is your wish my lord?” He asked.

“It is time to put your plan into action.” Kuro looked up at his master and smirked evilly. “Go. Enter the world of Equestria, and show them your dark powers. Let’s hope this dragon will be some great use to us.”

“I will leave at once my lord.” Kuro said and turned, but not before the being gave him a few more words.

“Do not fail me Kuro. I’m placing all of this in your dark hands.”

“Do not fear my lord. I’ll be sure I will succeed with this plan.” With that, Kuro sank into the shadows.

The being looked back up at the mirror of Shadows, watching Daniel, Spike and the others suffer. he looked back at the chains of light binding him. Once more, one of the chains cracked. He knew he will be free soon, but the timing is still not right. He looked back up at Daniel.

“When I become free, I’ll be sure to destroy you first human. Then, with you out of my way, nothing in this world or Equestria can stop me, not even Celestia and Luna. Soon, all of Equestria, will bow before their true ruler. Hmhmhmhm. Hahahahahahaha. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!!”
