Previous Chapter

All agreed that it was best to train near the Everfree Forest, some said Vision wasn't here over a million years right? So it would be best to train in a place not near the Castle of Friendship, some said that was where they use to train a few years ago when the barriers around Equestria was broken.

There were ponies, dragons and mythical creatures training for the upcoming battle, between Equestria and a somewhat Legend. Each was separated by skill; Magic, Strength and Flight. That separation was a simple one, but the most important one to. Magic; were the ones that know magic, they are the range attackers, like unicorns. Strength; these are the melee and close up attackers, these are the ones that attack first in battle, like Bears and Chimeras. Flight; these were the ones that fight in mid-air and control the weather of some sort, like Dragons and Manticores.

At the middle of the training session, a meeting was held at the west side of the training grounds near the Everfree Forest for no creature could hear them. The fabric of the medium size tent was 'horrid', if that was Rarity's put in thought, it was a surprise to her friends to see Rarity not complaining about the fabric and smell in the place, she just stood there listened and added suggestions.

The meeting attendants were Rarity, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Parthox and Tigro. They were talking about how they can defeat a living legend. The creature most the talk was Parthox, he was just like Twilight and Rainbow when it comes to battle and strategy, no wonder why Twilight had a crush on him back then.

Fluttershy's hoof went into a reasonable posture,"If Vision's controlling over Rainbow's body, then he has her speed and everything else?"

All five put a paw, hoof and claw at each other's chin, thinking out the canary pegasus' question. Parthox was the first reply and his claws went into a reasonable posture,"Fluttershy is right, that is also one of the possibilities when a creature posses, if you just think about it," He wanted to explain everything, but he also knew that they wouldn't understand him --Well the only creatures that understands
him was Twilight, Celestia and Celian.

The others nodded in agreement. Tigro took a look outside then on the moon, it was almost midnight. He turned back at the meeting,"I'm sorry to disturb but, we don't have enough time. If I remember clearly in one of my books, a creature in the dark grows even more stronger in midnight," As Tigro spoke, Fluttershy translated his language to their language.

With those words said, one by one, every creature in the tent left as Applejack blew out the fire from the lantern then followed the group. Pinkie Pie and Applejack were stationed on teaching Strength. Fluttershy, Tigro and Parthox were teaching Flight, and Rarity, only Rarity is teaching magic.

They weren't sure what Vision was doing but they were sure that the battle would be nothing but bloody, they hoped not too many would die in the end.

Rarity was a little busy training some unicorns a advance spell, she reasoned with them to use their raw abilities to make it easy, some agreed and some hesitated but still tried. Rarity was impressed on how they learned quickly, it took Rarity years to manifest her raw abilities, but after a moment ago, these unicorns are like mini Twilights. She taught them all about attack spells and some healing spells, she also taught them some physical moves just in case Vision first wipe out the range attackers.

Parthox, Tigro and Fluttershy didn't have that much of a pain, the three were also separated in three; Parthox was handling Dragons that had just came a moment ago, Tigro was training Manticores of his own and Fluttershy was training common creatures.

Applejack and Pinkie Pie had the hardest job ever before. The two were training mythical and dangerous creatures, Applejack knew that there would be stubborn animals, but she won't even mind because either Pinkie nor her knew animal languages. Applejack and Pinkie agreed to take half and train them with all their might.


'Beep', Spike woke up and groaned when he heard that sound.

'Beep', He tried to open his eyes, but they seemed force shut. He tried to move, but his body won't co-operate.

'Beep', There it is again, he wanted to destroy the source of the sound, but every time he wanted to move, he groaned in pain, he can feel every bone in his body shattered, he felt this before, but this was less on what he had felt.

'Beep', He started to remember the occurred events, and he didn't even realise a tear had fell from his eyes.

'Beep', He tried and tried until he gets tired, he tried. Then all his efforts end up to nothing, until he heard something in his left and stayed quiet.


Spike's hospital door creaked opened revealing two mares; the first mare was a pegasus that had a orange coat and a faint red mane and tail, her Cutie Mark was a shield with a wing and a lighting in the middle. The second mare was a alicorn that had a purple coat and a violet mane and tail with strands of lighter violet on it, she had a big six pointed star and five small ones surrounding it, she was also wearing a hospital dress.

Twilight closed the door behind them with her magic, as Twilight tip toed near the unconscious dragon,"Ya sure this is a good idea, Twi? We were just suppose to visit the foal, not Spike," Scootaloo whispered, hoping none can hear her, then turned on the switch with her wings, lighting the once dark room.

"I know, but my son needs me," She whispered back, as she approached her wounded son and smiled as she sat down at the chair beside the bed as Scootaloo followed her hoofsteps and stood beside the purple alicorn.

Twilight grabbed Spike's claw with her hoof as her eyes started to water. Scootaloo put a reassuring hoof on her shoulder as it was her turn to observe the wounded dragon. Spike was really beaten, his body was covered with bandages that only his eyes, wings and tail could be seen.

Spike recognised that voice, it was soothing and comfortable, he had a big guess who's where. He put all his might on opening his eyes, and look, it opened. His vision was blurry as he grunted in pain, the ponies beside him gave a loud gasps of shock. He tried to look at the ponies beside him, but again, his body won't co-operate, he tried again, this time he took a loud groan of pain.

Twilight tighten her hold of Spike's claw, she can't take it anymore, she closed her eyes focusing on her magical energy. Her horn glowed a faint purple aura, it grew larger and larger every second. Scootaloo backed up a little, trying to adjust the heat that was forming on the strong magical energy, she even needed to dodge some blazing sparks coming from the horn.

Twilight leaned down poking her horn on Spike's chest, little by little, her magical energy started to slip away from her body as it transfer to the wounded dragon's body. Spike didn't know what was going on, he felt his body regain its composure, energy and strength, his vision cleared and then he saw what his mother was doing to him, he gently pushed her, breaking the transfer.

He sat up on his bed getting rid of the bandages covering his body,"What were you doing, Mom?!" He was shocked as he took another look at his newly recovered body, he could feel his strength at a hundred percent and his magic started to ignite, he looked back at Twilight, still shocked.

Twilight didn't even break a sweat, but she was still panting,"I was trying to recover you," Her voice was weak, but had strength at the same time, her eyes were still the same; two pure white orbs.

Scootaloo helped Twilight stand up,"Why would you do that?" He stood out of the hospital bed as he got rid the last of the bandages and some of the wires connected to the monitor.

"Because you're my, Son," She said straight forward, her voice had no trail of hesitation or anything. Spike stared at the wall, before ever so slowly looking at Scootaloo then at the purple alicorn princess, his mother. Spike and Twilight's eyes started to water. Spike's realisation hit him as he ran towards Twilight and hugged her tight, and cried, while Twilight did the same. Scootaloo's eyes started to water to see a mother and son love each other with all their hearts, she had wish to have a mother like that, she closed her eyes and turned her head down as she opened the door with her wing and closed it with her hoof.

She sighed and opened her eyes again. She smiled at what Twilight and Spike had, she wanted to have that relationship with a parent for a long time, but it seems that her wish wasn't granted, but with that wish never granted, she had amazing friends, had a amazing life and had an amazing family.

Her thoughts were ruined by the sudden darkness of her surroundings and a hoof on her muzzle, covering her passageway of air. Her pupils dilated, she screamed and screamed, but with the tightness the hoof hold nopony heard her, she lost oxygen and passed out.

Back at the room, Spike was still hugging her mother while streams of tears coming from his beautiful green eyes. He broke the embrace and gently put Twilight on the ground, tears still flowing from his eyes, he noticed Scootaloo went outside, but he didn't want to stop the pegasus,"Mom, I need to get Rainbow back to you," Spike rushed out of the door. When he was in front of the door, he felt his tail being pulled gently wanting his attention, he looked over his shoulder.

"Go get you're Dad back to me. Son," She turned at her son and smiled at him, streams of tears still flowing from her eyes.

Spike responded Twilight's smile with a determined one, as he also gave her a thumbs up,"I'll never let ya down, Mom," Spike started to glow a purple aura around him then a flash of purple energy occurred making him disappear.

Twilight gasped in shock. "Did Spike just teleport?" She asked herself, but that question didn't add another question. Her body started to hurt, waves of shocks in magic blasts went from her hooves to her brain. She tried to tolerate the pain, but when the second occurred, it was more stronger than the last, she screamed. Her scream could be heard from the entire hospital. Not soon, doctors and nurses investigated where the scream was and saw the princess laying on the floor curled up in a ball, crying in pain and aid for someone.


Spike appeared near Everfree. "Geez, I really need to manifest this power quick," He thought to himself. He turned at his back, his pupils started to dilate from all the creatures training. It was countless, there were ponies, dragons and creatures from Everfree Forest.

He saw how neatly the separation was, he also saw the creatures training each section, from what it was. He tried to question some creatures but none will listen, anger was already building up inside him, and he can't take it any longer. "This is going to be the last," He thought angrily,"Excuse me, but I wanna know where is Parthox?" And then again, the one he was talking to didn't even look or stop at him, that was it, he can't control his anger. His eyes started to flame a purple aura around it, he flew up in the night sky and reached the moon's light.

He looked at the creatures bellow him, scanning for any signs that he was spotted, no creature cared which made Spike's blooding boil. The flames in his eyes turned purple, pointed out a finger at the centre of the grounds. At the tip of his claw a small ball of energy appeared, he fired it, his aim was amazing, he hit his target fare and square.

When the ball reached the ground, it formed a huge explosion, every creature stopped in their tracks as they covered their eyes from the light the explosion caused. When the light died down, they saw a big, deep hole in the middle of the training grounds. Parthox' guards quickly pulled out in action and pointed their spears at the hole.

They heard a loud scary roar coming from above, when they looked at the moon, they saw a dragon raging. All started to take steps backward as the dragon slowly came down,"I was just asking questions to you guys, and it seems I didn't got you're attention! I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE IS PARTHOX!!!" He shouted the last sentence as he finally got his feet on the ground.

A dragon came near the raging dragon and put a claw on his shoulder,"Excuse me, but I heard you were looking for me?" Spike turned around and saw his father, a little confuse on what was happening.

Spike frowned when he saw in his father's eyes that he didn't recognise him, he looked at the creatures around him and saw a hint of fear in each eye. He sighed,"Father, I am here get Rainbow Dash back to Mom," He looked down at the dirty floor,"And I'll fix the mess I made," Spike flapped up and reached the two of his arms. His arms started to cover a purple aura, the ground he fired was starting to come back to it's original state. When Spike was done, he landed safely back on the ground.

"Spike?" Spike turned around and then again, saw his father,"Spike, son, is that you?" He paused,"How are you here? Shouldn't you be in the hospital recovering?"

Spike flexed his muscles, to every creature's surprise, he formed a strong bicep, well from the looks of Spike, he was thin but good thin, a good amount of mass around his body making hi look hot and handsome, his height was the same as Parthox,"Mom healed me with her magic, and I teleported here with my magic," He proudly explained as he formed a fist and let his father observe as a flame of purple magic surrounded his fist.

When Rarity heard the name; Spike, she excused her way through the crowd. When she reached the end, she saw Spike talking to his father, she paused for a moment scanning the dragon from head to toe, she didn't care if it wasn't him and the only thing to get the once baby dragon's attention was; "Spike?" Her voice was just a whisper, but she knew something about the dragon.

Spike turned around and saw his childhood crush, he smiled at her confidently, like Spike was just ok from the injury, he also gave her a thumbs up with his right claw. Streams of tears started to fall from Rarity's eyes, she returned Spike's smile with her warm smile. She took a step forward, then looked at the dragon's eyes, when she saw those eyes, she didn't hesitate and ran towards the dragon.

Rarity went in for a hug as Spike did the same, the two stayed longer in that position trying to fill up the bar of 'I'll always be at you're side' bar. Parthox smile as he crossed his arms, he had also felt just like that a few years ago, memories ran pass him as he looked at his son then the pony he was hugging.

Rarity broke their embrace and looked at Spike in the eyes, trying to form the right words. Their position took a few minutes until Rarity spoke,"H-how are you alive?"

Parthox motioned every creature back to training for the upcoming battle --And also to give Rarity and Spike a little quality time together. When every creature was back to training, the two were still looking at each other's eyes,"C'mon, let's go in a little space so that I'll explain," Spike took a look around the area, finding a good place to talk.

"There!" Rarity pointed her hoof at a empty tent,"It's the meeting place, nopony will be needing it until another meeting occurs," Rarity trotted at the meeting while Spike followed the white unicorn.

When the two arrived at the tent, the mood in the air turned the tables which became uncomfortable for Spike. Spike opened his mouth but was cut off by Rarity's voice,"I have lots of questions for you, Spike and I want you to answer all of them, but at the same time I don't want to, so I'm only going to ask this very question," She breathed in as she looked behind to look the dragon eye to eye,"When did you learn Magic?"

Spike froze then narrowed his eyes down to the ground. He promised to Twilight that he will never speak about his own magic, for that he might be bit-forced by creatures. He sighed heavily, it looks like there's no way out of this. His eyes narrowed back at Rarity and looked closely in those pools of purple eyes, he sighed again,"When I was just six years of age, Mom already taught me," His voice was full of regret.

Their conversation was cut off when a scream was heard outside the tent. Spike and Rarity hurridly walked out of the tent, seeing what was going on outside.
