This is the END

"Pretty lucky," Spike said as he sat in bed, Trixie raised a brow as she rebandaged the left side of his head.

"What? That you have a badass like me to save you?"

"Not was I was thinking but yeah, I'd be dead without you, I'd have either been eaten or been drained of Blood." Spike smiled at her and got one back.

"Don't move, I don't want to fuck up the bandages," Trixie added as she continued the wrap the bandages around his head.

"But what I was referring to was that old Spikey boy was a half inch from my eye, and since it cut right through my scales I'm guessing he'd have taken my eye if he'd hit it." Trixie was about to reply when Spike scratched his face with his new Mechanical Arm. Spike blinked and put it back down. "Sorry," he said quickly "Bandages are itchy." Trixie sighed

"It's not that, I fell under pressure, I was in such a Panic to find you I couldn't even cast a proper tracking spell and you got torched within an inch of your life, Spike sat in silence as Trixie finished wrapping his head and helped him get to his feet. A Pair o Goggles had been cut up and made into an Eyepatch of Sorts so Spike could still see, unfortunately, the only pair aboard belonged to the Slayer and had been tinted red so half of Spike's vision was all red. Spike gave an awkward cough.

"So...I don't really remember when you saved me...was I conscious or was I just out?"

"You were conscious," Trixie confirmed as she had him do basic motor tests with his new Mechanical Arm.

"I Didn't say anything stupid did I?"

"You Thanked me then Told me to tell Twilight sorry," Trixie responded as Spike made a fist and raised one Finger at a time. "Gave me a fucking panic attack and I slapped the shit out of Clayton Over there."

"My face still hurts like hell!" The Scientist called from the Cockpit, around his hooves lay piled of ripped up papers and the Blade that was soon to be attached to Spike's tail.

"Sorry, your life was a Lie, Clayton," Spike said with a wave, Clayton looked back at him and grumbled angrily.

"Watch if fuck-boy! your one wrong move from getting your teeth kicked in your piece of Shit!" Trixie called back.

"Trixie it's fine, It's not his fault he..." Spike started only for Trixie to turn.

"He what?" Trixie said sharply "Neglected to tell me that the entire fucking town had a spell so anyone plummeting to the ground would land softly on the ground instead of splattering!?"

"I mean...he is Technically speaking a hostage," Spike responded with a shrug. "I'd have done the same in his position," Trixie grumbled angrily then turned to Clayton

"You are so lucky Spike needs you for your Robotic's skills or I'd throw you off this Airship and let whatever undead are in the country eat your splattered remains!" Spike sat back down on the bed and after a few minutes that consisted mainly of Insults Clayton entered the room with the Blade and a Wrench.

"Just give me the tail and try not to move," He said irritably "This may take a hot minute."

"No Problem with that" Spike said as he picked up his tail "I can't move it at the moment, all nub."

"Good." Clayton said as he sat down and took it "Make's my life easier." Spike sat in awkward Silence as Clayton Clamped down on the Blade with the Wrench and Stuck it into the slot, with several loud pops and Cracking noised Clayton stuck the Blade in and Began Screwing the Blade into Place.

"Old Spikey boy made that look easier" Spike noted as Clayton stopped for a breather.

"Yeah? Well, he has Magic for this, I have Strenght." Spike gave Clayton an odd look

"You kind of look Stringy for a Strong guy."

"I'm not Strong dumbass..."

"Watch it!" Trixie called out "or so help me I will come back there."

"I'm not Strong, I just have to use my less than extraordinary Strength to do this since I'm an Earth Pony." Spike frowned at this and looked at his Mecha Arm.

"Didn't you build this?" Spike asked.

"Yes," Clayton responded.

"Didn't seem to take all that long if you..."

"I had a Unicorn Assist me with the task," Clayton responded as he continued turning the Blade into place. After another minute or two and with a Loud Pop The Blade was locked into place. "Oh thank the Sun I'm done." Clayton sighed as he got up, dropped Spike's tail, and left the room. "There! It's been locked into place." Clayton said as he made his way to the steering chair. Spike Picked up his Tail and looked at it in silence.

"I miss my Spade" he complained, "I'm gonna have to take this thing out every time I want to go to bed once I can move my tail without the use of my hands again." He got up and made his way out of the room. Trixie was Flying the Airship, she was wearing the Wolf Pelt Cape, she had considered burning it, but found out it absorbed fire like water and had decided to keep it for any other Magical properties it might have, she had her staff on the Dashboard in its collapsed mode. Clayton was doing something, though for the Life of him Spike had no idea what he was doing, he seemed to be staring at a single set of dials in silence. every now and again Clayton would tap one of them.

"So?" Spike asked making both of them jump "What are we doing?"

"Spike! You need to stay in bed!" Trixie said as she leveled out the craft and halted it in the air "You lost a shit ton of blood, You need to rest."

"Well." Spike said awkwardly "I'm really hungry, don't suppose we have anything to...?" the look on Trixie's face answered his question. "No food then?"

"None." Trixie confirmed "And judging from what Clayton said we're a good 2 weeks from Equestria, much less the Crystal Empire.

"2 weeks! Hot dam Trixie talk about a Teleport!" Trixie smiled and made to tip her hat before remembering she no longer had it, Trixie sighed then turned back to the window in front of her.

"According to Clayton there is, or at least was, a town near here. We'll be arriving in about 20 minutes." Spike walked over to her and sat on the floor next to her. "What are you doing?" She asked as she began moving the ship again.

"Co-Pilot Spike is watching you fly with the hope of knowing how to do it if you get knocked out." Trixie smiled.

"Well, your not gonna learn anything down there, come on up and let your Great Friend Trixie show you how it is done." Spike got up and leaned on her seat.

"Alright, so the first thing to know about piloting this baby..."
