Prologue (Re-Finished)

In a dark room rested an 18 year old boy, with emerald green hair. He shuffled and reluctantly got up and out of bed. He waltzed over to his dresser got out a purple shirt, black jeans and a purple jacket. " Lookin good Spike, lookin real good." He said while looking in the mirror. Spike then walked out of his room and went down stairs.

"Thank you Celestia." An older man spoke. He had on a brown shirt and blue jeans, with his emerald green hair.

"No problem at all Mr. Drake. But are you sure you can do this, I mean fight a Elder Dragon?" A woman spoke, sitting across the man in the living room, with rainbow hair and pure white skin. She had on a simple t-shirt and black sweat pants. Her name was Celestia. She has been friends with the Drakes since Spike was born.

"We are not sure we can do this, but we sure are going to try." Sitting beside Mr. Drake was another woman. She also has emerald green hair but longer. She followed her husband’s cloths and had on a brown shirt and black pants.

“Of course we will win, as long as we all fight as a family." Mr. Drake said confidently.

“Good morning Mom, Dad. Oh, hello Celestia." Spike said as he made it down the steps.

"Hello Spike, or should I call you birthday-boy." Celestia teased.

“Hey kid." Mr. Drake said.

"Happy Birthday sweetie." Miss. Drake said almost crushing the boy to death with a hug.

"Mom.....air....please." Spike just managed to get out as his mother let go of him.

"Sorry sweetie." Miss. Drake said apologetically, while spike caught his breath.

"Hey Celestia, what brings you here?" Spike asked.

"It’s your birthday after all. Why wouldn't I be here?" She said.

"Oh okay, so Dad I couldn't help but over here that we are fighting a Elder dragon. Can you tell me what that is about, not that I'm complaining or anything?" Spike asked. Mr. Drake just giggled.

"Tonight we are fighting a Dark dragon by the name of Gore Magala." Mr. Drake said.

"Wait what do you mean "we". Don't you fight the big monsters? I don't even have a proper weapon, just my training spear." Spike said sadly.

“And that's were your wrong Spike." Mr. Drake said, while Miss. Drake got up and went upstairs.

“Wait What! you didn't!" Spike said happily.

Mr. Drake led Celestia and Spike in to the kitchen. Celestia placed a shoe-box sized present on the table. While Mr. Drake opened the fridge and got out a cake. Celestia just stared at the cake wide eyed. Miss. Drake soon came into the room with a big present.

"Wow, no way-OW!" Miss. Drake smacked Spike's hand as he went to pick it up.

“You know the rules Mr. no presents until after the cake." Miss. Drake said firmly.

"Uh fine." Spike said in a grumpy tone, sitting down in a chair.

"Now Spike, don't be greedy. It's a very bad trait to have, believe me I know." Celestia said sadly.

"Oh, sorry mom I didn't mean it." Spike apologized.

“It’s fine dear." Miss. Drake said.

"Oh would you all stop being all sad. This is a Birthday Party, so stop it. Now Spike come here." Mr. Drake shouted as he finished lighting the candles on the cake. Everyone put a smile on their face, and Miss. Drake turned off the lights. Then they sung, happy Birthday to Spike.

After they stopped singing Spike blew out the candles and made a wish. He wished that one day he could make a friend, the last friend he had was another boy named Thorax. He disappeared a few years ago and no one would tell him why. So now he just wanted a friend. Little did he know the price he was going to pay for that to come true.

"I am very happy to say you are no officially 18 .Spike now you can open your presents. Why don't you start with Celestia's." Mr. Drake said with a smile, as the lights came back on.

Spike bolted over to Celestia's present and tore it open to find a purple gauntlet with black lacing and an emerald gem on the back. Spike was stunned at the gift.

"Wow." was all he could say.

"I take it you like it. I bought it back home and I thought it would look good on you." Celestia said happily. Spike gave her a huge hug.

“Thanks Celestia. This is awesome." He said putting on the gauntlet.

“You’re welcome Spike." Celestia said.

"Can I open yours now Mom, Dad?" Spike asked, while they nodded. Then he started to open their gift.

Spike was in awe at the now unwrapped present. It was a spear. It had a long black handle; the tip had green for the edged part and a purple middle down to a green gem that connected the handle to the Spear. At the other end had a hallow Green blade shaped like a Diamond that was connected to the spear handle by an out of place grip.

"This is the best gift ever! I love you guys." Spike said giving his mom and Dad a hug.

"We love you too and are glade you like it." Miss. Drake said.

"Here let me show you something." Mr. Drake said as he took the Spear from Spike. He then places his hand on the out of place grip at the bottom and unsheathed a thin double-edged blade.

"It’s kept in place because of some magic I placed on it so it doesn't fall out, and only a member of the Drake Family can unsheathe it. You can also summon and unsummon it." Mr. Drake said as the spear lit up in green flames then a second later the same green flames appeared in front of Spike. “Don’t be afraid it won’t burn." He said as spike grabbed the spear.

"Wow these are awesome guys, Thanks." Spike said happily, as his spear lit up in flames and disappeared.

"I am glad you like it Spike but unfortunately I have to go home now. You all be safe, okay." Celestia said.

Spike ran up to her and gave her another hug." We will, and thanks again for the gift." Spike said as Celestia waved and walked out of the house.

"Hey Son, what do you say we go out in the back yard and practice with your new weapon.” Mr. Drake said. Spike lit up and ran out the back door." I will take that as a yes.” He laughed as he and Miss. Drake followed.

________________________________________

It was Noon when Spike and his Mom and Dad had finished training with his new equipment. Spike even beat his Dad a few times. When they had finished training they went inside to get ready to leave for their hunt.

"Alright, everybody ready?" Mr. Drake asked his family. He had a giant Katana on his back.

"I am, Spike are you?" Miss. Drake said. She had two blades on her back.

“Let’s Do This." Spike said in a cocky tone.

"Then let’s move out." Mr. Drake said. As they left their home and hiked into the woods. Spike followed his dad because he said that he knew where to go, but it felt like he was leading them into the middle of nowhere. After an hour of walking they soon came across an open field. Right in the middle of the field was a giant black dragon. It had 4 legs and wings that lay on its back like a cape. It was 4 stories high and had the face of a snake, and it was eating a dear.

"Alright gang let’s use the element of surprise while we have it." Mr. Drake said quietly. Even tho they were on the edge of the field they were facing a legendary dragon. “Here’s the plan."

5 Minutes later

Spike was on the right side of the field while Miss. Drake was on the left, and Mr. Drake stayed put. Suddenly Mr. Drake Charged out of his hiding place running strait for the dragon. While the dragon was focused on him Miss. Drake ran for the dragon too, and Spike did the same. They all landed a good blow on the dragon before it twirled around in a circle, and whipping everyone with its tail. After getting back up, Spike stabled the dragon in the back right knee making it fall over. They all hacked and slashed at it until it got back up. It then flapped its wings and took off the ground, knocking everyone over, then it set its sight to the one who damaged its nee, Spike. In its mouth black flames leaked out, and the dragon leaned back getting ready to fire it at Spike. Mr. Drake knew what was going to happen and got up as the dragon shot a huge ball of flame at Spike. Just in time Mr. Drake leaped in front of Spike.

"DAD!!" Spike Screamed. There was a giant explosion covering the field with black flames. Were Spikes Father jumped in to save Spike, there was now a pile of ash. Spike stared in horror at the ashes.

"YOU BASTARD!" Miss. Drake screamed as she charged the Dragon. She was swinging madly and tore several holes in the dragons wings. This got the dragons attention and breathed fire on her melting her to nothing.

"MOM!" Spike Yelled, still in pain from the explosion. Some of his clothing and skin was burned. Spike felt nothing but anger swell up inside him, and he was going to let it out. "DIE!" Spike Screamed as he attacked the black dragon. The dragon swiped its claws at the boy only for it to be punched away. Being left wide open, Spike took his spear and slashed it across the dragons face creating a huge scar. The dragon roared in pain. Spike went to strike it again, but the Dragon took off, leaving spike all alone.

"Mom...Dad." Spike said, as he fell to his knees and sobbed in his hands, while his spear erupted in green flames and disappeared. Spike kept crying in till he passed out on the ground. He laid their in the field of black flames as his Gauntlet's emerald began to glow brightly and a portal opened up underneath the unconscious boy. Spike fell thought the portal and landed in very big and open room at the base of steps leading to a throne with an unidentified creature siting in it. The creature was female and had flowing rainbow hair. She quickly got up from her throne and rushed to the boy’s aid.
