When I next awoke I found myself on a soft bed. The room I was laying in was huge and lavishly decorated, in the corner there was an armour stand with an armour on it. It was a gold colour with some red and blue detailing there was also a note attached to it. It said.

Dear Mike,

Sorry for thinking that you were a monster when you finish reading this I want you to put on the armour and get to the training grounds where I'm going to properly introduce you to the guard. Again sorry for thinking that you are a monster and attacking you for no reason. I hope that we can be friends.

Your captain

Shining Armour.

"Well that was nice of him, but I think that I'm not going to be walking around in my human form." I said to myself. With that in mind I put on the armour making sure to fasten it all securely and then I decided to morph into a pony.Since the armour was to big for a pony i Decided to mold it with by the end of it I had a full body armour, that covered me from head to hoof I guess. When I finished that I went to the door and opened it. You would think that I would have problems with walking on four hooves, but I can assure you in that one month of testing I have turned into a lot of different creatures mostly quadrupeds so I knew how to walk as for the door I'm not even going to think about it. When I got outside I noticed that my room was guarded by two unicorn guards. Then I asked them. "Could you two gentle stallions show me to the royal training grounds?" Then they looked at each other and then the one on the left asked.

"Um who are you?" Then I remembered that I changed forms.

"I'm Mike you know the tall human who was sleeping in this room. I decided to change forms so that there wont be any repeats of the fight that I had on the training grounds. By the way you can call me Spore Harvest from now on, I think it's quite fitting for this new form." Then the second one said.

"If you're Mike then prove it." After that I sprouted a tentacle from my back and grew in my battleaxe.

"This prof enough?" They both nodded and then they led me towards the training grounds. On the way one of the guards decided to ask.

"So Spore why do you have a different kind of armour from the rest of us?" I decided to sate his curiosity.

"Well you see the armour that Shining had commissioned for me was a little to big when I changed forms so I decided to morph it to my body and since there was a little bit of exes material I decided to use it to create a full body armour. I must say I did a really good yob, but the yaw movements were a complete accident." Then the second one said.

"Well accident or not it certainly looks awesome and we are here. Now if you excuse us we need to return back to our posts. Have a good day Mike or should we say Spore Harvest." I just nodded and they trotted off back to their posts. With nothing else to do I stepped up to the door and went inside.

When I entered I found every single guard training, but sadly there were some that were bandaged up. Then I checked the surroundings and noticed that everything was fixed up. There was also a balcony that I never noticed and there of course were the two princesses. With that in mind I went over to the balcony. Once there I extended my legs until I reached the balcony.

"Hello there princesses, what's up." First they looked surprise, but then Luna asked.

"Mike is that you?"

"Yes it's me but I decided to change forms, since I didn't want a repeat of last time. By the way the name is Spore Harvest now."

"Well Spore Harvest you should probably go to Shining Armour and get introduced to the guard. You can find him there." Celestia punctuated her words by pointing at him. After I finally found him I said.

"Okay, I will see you some other day then." With that said I popped out my turbine and flew of towards Shining. When I landed in front of him he jumped back and swung his sword at me, but when it struck it just bounced off. "Shining is that really the way to greet a friend." I said in a cheeky tone. After some time of looking shocked he asked.

"Who are you?"

"Shining it's me Mike. Well when I'm in this form it's Spore Harvest. Man and I thought that you wont attack me. You're such a liar." And because I knew he was going to ask for proof I created a fire ball and I shot it into the sky. "So what's up." At first he looked confused, bur then something clicked and he said.

"Oh hello there Mike. Where is the armour that I commisioned for you? Don't tell me you destroyed it."

"Don't worry Shining I didn't I just morphed it to fit my new body. It's also got this feature where I can retract it." Then I used my power to pull the helmet off of my head. When it was over it revealed to me an orange muzzle and I was sure that I had my hair in a mohawk mane style which was colored a nice black with red stripes. "So how do I look?" After some time of cheeking my face he said.

"You look great well lets get down to business. You are going to be stationed as one of Ponywilles guards. So that means that you fall under jurisdiction of my sister and princess Twilight Sparkle. The only thing that you need to do is make sure she is safe, or else I am going to find a way to permanently kill you." He finished while glaring into my eyes. I just smiled. "Oh yeah and to make sure you do alright I'm going to assign to you a partner. I think you two already met." Then my friend Shield Breaker appeared besides me holding what looked like suitcases on his back. "I' m also going to be accompanying you to Ponywille to introduce you to the guard. Is that understood soldier?" I promptly saluted and said.

"Sir, yes sir!"

"Okay then you two follow me then." With that said Breaker followed him while I retracted my whole armour and then stepped after him.

"Well Breaker it looks like you are not getting rid of me that easy." He sighed, but then he said with a grin.

"I guess not, but I would rather be stuck with you then some of the other guards you are at least fun to hang around. Even if you are a bit creepy with your shape shifting."

"Ah I promise you, you'll get used to it. Now lets jump into the chariot Shining has been in there for the last minute and he doesn't look pleased." And sure enough I was right, because we heard him yell to us.

"Come on cadets move it on the double!" Then we sprinted or galloped to the chariot and stepped inside. Then Shining signaled to the pegasus guards that were pulling the chariot and we were off.

***

On our way to Ponywille me and Breaker were making conversation. Basically I was asking him what the guard was like and he gave me some interesting information, but enough about that, we were already arriving at the town so we both clammed up, because Shining was talking.

"Okay soldiers first we are going to go to the barracks and introduce you to the guard and after that we are going to the castle to introduce you to my sister, okay." We both nodded and after that we just sat there in silence. After some time we finally touched down and were free to exit the chariot breaker and I were following Shining to what looked like a big box with the words guard barracks written across it.

"Well this certainly looks inviting." I said.

"I'm glad you think so because you will have to report to this place every day and since you are going to be sleeping at the castle with my sister you are newer going to be late for your daily check in." Speaking of the castle and for that matter the town. It was a pretty nice place. The houses were nothing special most of them were simple thatched homes, but there were a couple of exceptions like the town hall, Sugar cube corner and Carousel boutique. They looked exactly the same as in the show. Then there was the big ass crystal castle which was towering over everything.

"Okay I'm definitely going to enjoy staying here. It sorta reminds me of my home town, only that here the community looks to be allot better." With that said we entered the barrack. Then Shining yelled out.

"Soldiers front and center!" With that six different guards appeared in a line in front of us. Two of them were pegasy, three of them were unicorns and the last one was an earth pony. "Spore Harvest, Shield Breaker meet you team. Those two over there are Jet Fire and Jet Storm. They are our eyes in the sky." He pointed to the pegasy. The first one was a male guard who had light blue fur and a dark blue mane with a white stripe going through it. His cutie mark was of two lightning shaped swords crossing each other. He was probably Jet Storm.

The other pegasus was a mare with a red coat colour and had an orange and yellow mane which was falling down on one side of her face. It looked like a water fall made out of lava. Her cutie mark was that of a black shield which was surrounded by fire. She was most definitely Jet Fire. Then Shining continued.

"Next to them is our spy his name is Shadow." With that he moved his hoof to point at a stallion. He had a deep black coat colour with a slightly silvery grey mane. His cutie mark was very hard to make out, but when I finally noticed it, it looked like a very dark grey shuriken.

"Next to him we have our mage Spell Caster and our healer Mercy." Spell Caster was an indigo coloured unicorn stallion, who had a bright red and blue mane which was styled in the same manner as mine. His cutie mark was that of a circle which was divided into four sections. One was red, one was blue one was brown and one was white. Mercy was a white coated mare who had a slightly pinkish-white mane. Her cutie mark was that of a red cross from which one blood drop was falling.

"And the big guy at the end is named Giga Impact." And big was a perfectly accurate for him because he was huge. He had a dark green coat colour with a silver mane. His cutie mark was that of a hammer hitting the ground. After I finished my observations I said.

"Well its definitely nice to meet you all. My name is Spore Harvest and this my friend Shield Breaker." Shield breaker nodded. Then Shadow decided to speak up.

"Well I can see why Shield Breaker is here, but where is your armour Spore Harvest." His voice was very deep and the tone that he used was somewhere between haughty and bored.

"Oh my armour I forgot I put it away. Give me a second." I then opened up my back and let the metal encase me after about half a minute I was properly wearing my armour. " I sometimes forget that I need it." Then Giga Impact said in a kinda scottish accent.

"Hey we don't like any posers in our midst I hope you have some good fighting skills to back up your claim." Then Shining said.

"Now Giga that is no way to treat a new guy, but if you think he's not guard material then by all means spar and well see if he's blowing hot air." After some time of thinking he said.

"Okay you, me, ring, now." With that he left the room. I leaned over to Shining and whispered.

"Why didn't you tell him that I defeated over one hundred guards." Then he whispered back.

"I know that, but he has a superiority complex that makes him think that he is better than others and in some instances he is, but he really needs to be knocked down a peg or two. You know the deal just don't break him." With that said I nodded and we all went to the training area outside. Once there me and Giga stepped into a circle which was drawn on the ground and we waited for shining to start the match. "This sparing match is going to determine if Spore Harvest is eligible to be taken in as one of Ponywilles guard. This mach is going to allow weapons and forbids from using magic with that said let the battle commence." As soon as he said that, Giga charged at me with his huge war hammer in his teeth. I decided to go for a different approach. I was going to play with him until he tires out and then bam I'll strike. With that plan in mind I dodged his initial strike and released my wind turbine. With that I flew myself to the other side of the circle and waited for him to strike again and he did. After five minutes of me evading and him attacking he finally broke and asked.

"How are you evading me so well it's like you don't have bones." He was right I did break a couple of my bones to evade his attacks, but he doesn't have to know that.

"That is going to be my little secret." That seemed to have made him angry, because he charged at me. "Man some people just don't learn. Lets confuse him further." I muttered under my breath then I stayed my ground and waited for his hammer to connect with my body. When the blow finally came I didn't budge, it hurt like shit, but I didn't move. Then I absorbed his hammer and extended it into one of my tentacles. "Now it's time for you to go to sleep." With that said his eyes widened, then I struck him and he flew to the other side of the ring. "And scene." Then I threw his hammer back to him and turned to Shining armour and I would have started to walk away, but then I heard him say.

"What in tartarus are you?" I decided to piss him of to see what he would do.

"Oh I'm just your friendly neighbourhood abomination. What's it to ya Clarisse?" That seemed to make him laugh. "What?"

"You've got guts kid I can see that you are strong and I'll except you into our guard if you tell me how you didn't go flying when I hit you." He said after calming down.

"Oh that's easy I sprouted roots into the ground and if you don't believe I can show you." With that said I sprouted a root from my hoof and that seemed to shut him up. "Any questions?"

"How are you able to do that?" Thankfully I've got something prepared for that.

"Well you see when I was little I was infected with some kind of spore that basically turned me into a living fungus and that is how I got my powers and cutie mark."

"Okay then Spore welcome to the team. Report to me and I'll set you up with a partner for your post okay." Then I retracted my armour and extended my front hoof. He accepted and I said.

"Okay then Giga I'll see you tomorrow." With that said and done I heard Shining say.

"Alright then Breaker you set up your room here and you follow me." With that said I followed behind him. On the way out I said goodbye to everyone and went on my way to the castle.

***

"So what now?" I asked Shining.

"Now we are going to the castle. Lets hope that Twilight doesn't go over board." That made me scared, but I didn't have time to ask him because we were already at the castle. Then Shining opened the door and I promptly got smacked in the face by ball of confety which again knocked me out.

"Oh nuts." Is the last thing that I heard before everything went black. Man I really have to stop blacking out like that. Oh well and then I completely blacked out.
