Spike followed the major back into the building and through another couple of halls until they stopped at one with his name and rank floating across it. "Let me guess, my room?" He questioned.

"Yep, everyone gets their own room unless they are married or have family that works with them." Twilight explained before stepping back a little to point at a door two frames down. "That one's mine the one between ours in fluttershy's, the one on the other side of yours is Applejack and Rainbow Dash's, they are old friends and work together so much it just made sense. After theirs is Pinkie Pie's and finally Rarity's." Twilight finished with a smile.

"Huh, wasn't expecting to be put so close to the people I just met. I thought there would be a whole privates sleep here and higher ranks sleep elsewhere kind of thing." He said, scratching his chin.

Twilight let out a giggle before moving down the hall with Spike behind her. "Normally that would be true but since the Commander's wanted you being watched and tested, they set this up instead." She explained. On that note her stomach decided to make itself known by growling loudly. "Ahhehe... How about food next?" She asked, a blush forming on her face. When Spike didn't protest they changed their direction, he could see maps pointing to where they were going.

Opening the door to the cafeteria the noise hit them of a hundred staff members, soldiers, pilots, and mechanics all eating and chatting hit them at once. "So what's on the menu?" Spike asked, his own stomach growling once the scent of food hit him, his mouth turning into a waterfall of saliva.

"Whatever you want." Twilight replied, walking up to a screen and pressing a few buttons. "The cafeteria is fully stocked with all types of meals and dishes to fit any taste, style, or limitation a person may have. For example I can't eat bananas so I put in that limitation and the menu adjusts so I don't accidentally pick something that has that in it." She explained, pulling a bowl of soup from out of the container that popped up in front of her.

Spike walked up to the screen slightly intimidated before spotting something that made his eye's widen. "Woooo, they can make triple doubled spicy stuffed cheeseburgers!" He asked excitedly, punching in the order. With a ding a box appeared on the counter next to him and opened with the smell of deliciously grilled meat. He pulled out a six layered burger that had what looked like melted jalapeno cheese leaking slightly out of the patties. Spike was practically drooling with anticipation to dig into the meal. He saw Twilight walking towards a mostly empty table, hurrying over he took a seat across from her and was about to start eating when Applejack and Rainbow slammed down next to him.

"Yo dude is that a triple double spicy stuffed cheeseburger? That the best stuff ever, though it really slows you down." Admired Rainbow, looking over Spike's meal with an approving nod. Now dressed in a track suit with the zipper slightly undone, showing a sports bra underneath.

"So how goes the tour?" Applejack asked, bitting into an apple with a crunch. "Seen your room yet?" She added. Her outfit was a stetson hat, flannel shirt tied up to show of midriff and daisy dukes finished off with cowboy boots.

Twilight opened her mouth to speak but then Rarity and Pinkie Pie sat around her followed by Fluttershy taking the edge near them. "Hey girls and as for your question yes we had already been to the rooms though he hasn't been inside yet." She said.

The young man let out a chuckle. "The Major here had to get food first." He teased much to everyone's enjoyment and Twilight's embarrassment. "Though I will say I was going to ask where to get food anyways as I was hungry too." He added, comforting her while smiling.

"So Spike what did you get for your birthday before being recruited?" Pinkie asked, bouncing in her seat.

Spike's mood dropped a little before replying nervously. "Actually today is my birthday since there was the whole thing with the test and worries. So I was brought in just recently." He explained, not giving the full details as to why he was there since he figured Celestia or Luna would explain to everyone eventually.

Pinkie Pie let out a gasp before almost pulling the man over the table to bring him close to her face. "You mean you haven't had a birthday party or gift yet!" She practically shouted in his face.

"Um, no" He answered weakly.

Rainbow let out a laugh at the situation. "Aww Pinkie you should give him a birthday kiss. He is legal now anyways." She said with a snort before laughing even more.

Pinkie seemed to think it over much to Spike's horror but just as she was about to pucker her lips for a kiss she got yanked back by Rarity. "Now darling I'm all for giving a good gift on special occasions but don't you think you should ask the young man BEFORE you kiss him if he's okay with it? I mean what if he has a relationship partner already." She lectured. "Do you dear?" She asked, turning to Spike.

"Actually the thing is I've never really been in a relationship before or kissed anyone." He spoke quietly, looking down. He was waiting to get teased but it never came, looking up showed everyone looking at him in shock. "What?" He asked, confused.

"Your telling me ya'll never kissed no body or dated?" Applejack asked, not fully buying it.

"Yeah never. I mean of course I've had crushes like everyone else but never anything real." he countered.

"Darling I find that hard to believe. You're far too cute to not at least have woo'd a girl enough to kiss her. Plus you are obviously smart enough to think of the fix you found for me and Pinkie that got us to stop fighting." Rarity complimented.

Spike was about to ask more when he was suddenly shoved into the table, his face hitting his burger. The others gave complaints or shock while he wiped his face off. "Move it punk." He heard snarled at him.

"Captain Razor! What the hell do you think you are doing?" Questioned Twilight, standing from her seat.

"Ah chill out Major buzz kill, just showing the new meat the ropes." The voice spoke with another shove.

"Stop that this instant Razor." Ordered Rarity, backed by the others standing as well.

Razor gave another shove before backing up. "Or what? You're forgetting I'm the best pilot in this base. I can do what I want." He bragged. The area had gone quiet to watch the exchange.

Spike stood up slowly after cleaning off his face. "Major Twilight, you outrank this man correct?" He asked, each word delivered slow and clear.

"Correct." She replied.

"Then do I have permission to kick his ass and show him the 'ropes' as he put it?" Spike asked, turning to look at the man. He stood shorter then Spike with a large scar running from chin to collar bone. He had a buzz cut and robotic arm on his left side.

Twilight looked between the two before giving a nod. "You have permission." She confirmed, everyone backing up from the two facing off.

Razor's mouth twisted into a snarl. "Does the new blood need a beating. You can't hope to beat me in a fight, I kill evo's twenty times your size." He bragged, letting his head tilt back with a laugh. That's when Spike struck, sending a fist into the mans throat making him gag. Another punch knocked the side of his jaw then another to the gut. Razor tried to swing to hit Spike but missed when he danced out of the way with a spin. Spike launched another hit into his thigh and kicked the back of his knees out to bring him down. He grabbed around Razor's neck, chocking him out while delivering hit after hit into the side of his opponents head.

"Enough." Ordered Twilight making Spike back away from the now wheezing man on the ground. "Look's like you did show Spike the ropes Razor. He's higher up then you it would seem." She said, walking around the table to bend down in front of him. "If you ever do something like this again I'll make sure the Commanders have you out on your ass in no time. Am I understood?" She explained to the beaten man who could only nod weakly. She tuned to a pair of soldiers watching. "You two. Take him to the med bay to get healed. I don't care if you are gentle with him or not." She ordered, now looking to the crowd. "Back to where you were." She stated.

Spike sat back down and poked his now destroyed burger. "Man, I was hoping to eat that too." He whined, ignoring everyone's stares.

"That's what ya are worried about?" Applejack asked, stunned at his mood. "You just kicked Razor's ass and you are worried about your food?"

"Yeah like dude he challenges me and AJ in sparring matches and you just kicked his ass." Rainbow added in shock, looking at the young man in front of her with a new light.

He looked at them all confused before speaking. "Oh, that's right I never told you I'm a black belt in five different fighting styles and can dance pretty well so I can move around alright. Plus he left a big opening for me to take advantage of so I didn't let him close it." He said casually before standing back up. "What's next on the list of things I need to do or see?" He asked, looking at the girls.

Rarity put a finger to her chin in thought. "Well could always see how well you handle a suit." She proposed to the group making Aj and Rainbow straighten.

"Let's go!" They shouted, dragging him behind them and down a hall followed closely by the others. Soon he was in a room with a sky light above it letting in sunlight. Suits of all shapes and sizes lined the walls with a small docking system in the center for the suits, all of them bare of paint or weapons. "Try the wrecker classes." Applejack said, shoving him towards a set of them.

"No! Try the speedster set!' Rainbow shouted pulling him to the other side excitadly.

After a moment where the two waged tug of war on his body he shouted. "Girls!" They stopped and looked at him. "How about first teaching me about each type of suit so that way I have a better understanding of each style." He spoke calmly, hoping they would listen.

"That sounds like a good idea. Then you won't get hurt from choosing the wrong one." Fluttershy spoke up once the others had caught up with the two hyper pilots. "We each have a preferred suit so we can each teach you what they do." She added walking over to a suit with a medical cross on it. "This is what is called a disaster power suit. They are what I use though I do prefer the medical version more then the others. They are for those who don't fight evos but instead help heal those injured or caught in disasters such as fires or floods. Police and other branches use these type the most as the other suits are built for our main goals." She explained softly while Spike looked over them. He could see the one she stood next to had a thinner frame from less armor but had instead defibrillators and other medical equipment. The other suits in the support category had either stun weapons or hoses and water tanks.

Pinkie Pie skipped next to a line of power suits and splayed her arms out. "These are the demolition line. They are for when you need to bring down buildings, large evo's, or need a special touch of mayhem in a situation." She listed, counting on her fingers. "My favorite is the hammer build since it let's me get more hands on." She added, squeezing the air in front of her with a devilish smile. Spike walked up and noticed the larger build of the pieces, they looked made to survive blasts from explosions more then hits from objects.

Rarity and Twilight took the next line. "These are the mage class suits." Started Rarity, gesturing to the line. "They are called that as some people who don't know how these suits work usually make the comparison to magic if you will. They use advanced gravity and energy weapons for their tools." She explained.

"They are usually reserved for strong minded people as the suits need a lot of focus to manage the energy flow so not everyone can use the suit." Twilight added, standing next to one with a horn on it's head. Spike could tell from the tech strapped to the body work that he wouldn't really fit this category anytime soon.

Next up was Applejack standing near power suits similar to hers. Some had more armor on their legs, others on upper body and a few just were armored fully head to tow. "This here's the wrecker class. The strongest and toughest of all the power suits. It may be slower and harder to move unless you are strong but it makes up in that if you can work it you'll be knocking down anything you come across." She boasted, rubbing her nails on her flannel shirt. Spike couldn't lie that his interest was slightly peaked at the idea of the wrecker class.

"Before you forget we also have the speedster class." Rainbow butted in. The suits were small, thin, and bare on a lot of armor. "These puppies may not hit as hard as the wrecker class but thats because they give you the speed to hit enough times to equal one from the wrecker. Take one of these for a spin and you could punch through an evo with enough speed." She bragged, her robotic legs running in place. Spike did like the sound of going fast but the lack of armor did worry him slightly.

A voice spoke up from the entrance. "Don't forget the lancer class now." Sparker said while strutting into the room. "Also hope you aren't too angry at me for what I had to do to you earlier today. I feel even worse since it's your birthday." She added, walking up to Spike with her head hung low.

"I forgive you." Came his reply making her look up. "I understand the need for what you had to do though I will admit those shocks hurt." He spoke while looking her in the eyes.

"I can make up for that later but first how about we finish the lesson." She said with a smile once he said he wasn't angry at her. "The lancer class is a good middle ground between the speedster and wrecker classes. Not bulk and slow but also not light on armor. It's also the most adjustable class there is." She explained, walking the line of suits.

Spike hummed before walking up to one of the lancer classes. "Let's start with the middle ground and branch off from there." He suggested. The others nodded while Pinkie Pie went to the controls to move the suit over with a hook system. Once it was in place and ready she nodded towards Spike. "Okay so how does this work exactly?" He asked, looking between them all.

Twilight stepped forward first. "Well first you open the suit though since you don't have your own A.I. we need to open it manually." She started but was cut off by Spike's sputtering.

"Woo hold on A.I.? You all have those?" He asked, his eye's grew wider when they all held out their hands and little holographic people flickered into view. "Duuuudddeeee." He whispered looking them over.

Rarity explained next, "You'll get your own that is bare and over time it develops into a personalized one to help distinguish which is which. For example mine's based off my little sister Sweetie Belle while Rainbow's and Applejack's are off their sisters Apple Bloom and Scootaloo."

"Mine's off of my old pet Gummy!" Pinkie added happily.

"Mine's from an old owl that helped me when I was younger. His name is owlowiscious." Was Twilight's answer.

Angel hopped out of a bag on Fluttershy's hip. "Angel is mine but he usually sits in his little robot bunny suit." Came her reply.

Sparker had a small little boy. "This is my little cousin tracer. He always wanted to see the world but got injured. So mine matches him and sends him videos of my adventures." She spoke.

"You'll eventually get one of your own but till then we have to open the suit manually like I said." Twilight continued the conversation while pressing a few buttons. The back of the suit spread apart to show padded interior. "Okay hop in." She instructed.

Spike looked at her before back to the suit. "Well I always wanted to do this after all." He said with a gulp, stepping inside the suit while slotting his arms into the right places. The back closed on him shutting him in darkness. A feeling of claustrophobia hit him but taking deep breaths he calmed his nerves. "Just breath they can get you out if there is a problem just breath." He muttered to himself.

Static filled the headspace then came Twilight's voice. "Testing, testing, can you hear me?" She asked.

"Loud and clear." Spike replied, shifting his body slightly in the suit.

"Okay good, so the first step is getting in the suit but thats obvious. Most of the controls are by person but the reason we have A.I. is to help manage the numbers and other items on the list of things needed to pilot on of these. We use these basic versions to help new recruits get used to the feeling of movement in them before moving onto the advanced versions. Those come with weaponry and flight controls." She explained while Spike did his best to remember everything. "The next step is what we call dropping. This is the part where you and the suit link up to balance your levels while also keeping a eye on your vitals. It's also where the suit unlocks to allow you to move so on the count of three get ready to hold your weight." She continued.

"Wait, I have to hold up this thing?" Spike asked worriedly.

He could hear the others let out small laughter at the question. "No silly, the suit will hold all the weight but it also follows your body like a second skin. Just as you have to use your muscles to stand up and hold yourself there the same goes for the suit. If you go limp the suit goes limp. If you go ridged well you get the idea." She soothed his worry. "Okay get ready. Three. Two. One. Dropping." She counted.

The sudden shift from stiff armor to loose feeling made Spike give a yelp and fall to his knees. He could hear Applejack, Rainbow, Pinkie Pie, and Sparker laughing their asses off. The inside of the helmet lit up to show a scan of his body and information along with the outside.

Private Spike
Vitals: Normal
Heart rate: Higher then average
Systems fully online

Moving himself out off his knees he slowly stood up with a wobble. "Holy shit, I'm really in a power suit." His voice full of awe. Reaching out he could see his hands incased in the armor, flexing and curling his fingers while looking at them with a large grin on his face. "This is the coolest shit ever!" He shouted.

"How's it feel pipsqueak to be in one of these bad boys." Came Rainbow's voice from his left.

Turning his head she came into view. "Feel's... surprisingly good. I was expecting to be worrying about how this would feel on me but Twilight's right it feels like a second skin." He answered happily. Taking a few steps forward he slowly found his stride, the suit still had weight to it but it was almost comforting to know that he had something protecting him.

"You can thank me for how nice it feels." Rarity spoke, flipping one of her curls out of the way. "I will admit Pinkie know's how to make the suits do damage and take it but I have the better skills in making them not only look good but feel good too. " She said with pride filling her voice.

"She ain't lyin' when she says it feels good. We all take the risk that the next job might be our last so it's good to know we'll be comfy when it happens." Applejack added from his right.

That caused Spike to pause and look at them fully. "Can I ask you girls a question?" He started.

"Sure!"

"Of course."

"Always." Came the mixed replies

Spike paused before continuing. "Just how dangerous is this job in general?" He asked, leaning against an empty spot on the wall.

The group looked at each other before sighing. "It's only fair that you know." Came Twilight's voice much more sober. She tapped her head and a holographic screen fizzled out showing a heavily scarred face with teeth showing through her cut up mouth. Rainbow sat down and disconnected her legs, wiggling the stumps of her thighs at him. Applejack had some help from Fluttershy to take off her arms and pop out one of her eyes. Fluttershy after helping AJ lifted up her shirt showing a large scar running from her right kidney with tiny ones branching outwards from it. Rarity and Pinkie both removed an arm and leg each while rarity pulled fake teeth from her mouth causing half her face to droop down while Pinkie pulled down her shirt showing a scar running between her breasts. Sparker turned and showed a scar running up her spine. Once everyone showed him their marks with him slowly sliding down the wall with each one. Twilight spoke up. "Each of us has been in a suit. Each of us has lost something either physically or mentally. We've lost loved ones to the monsters we fight and some of us are so broken we can't even survive getting back into the suits." She explained, slipping back on her mask.

"I couldn't walk for a year after a nasty ambush." Sparker said, gesturing to her back.

"Making those suits as good as they are took someone to test them so me and Rarity stepped up...Somethings just don't work on the suits." Pinkie spoke up next while helping Rarity with her arm.

Fluttershy shivered before adding on. "I still have nightmares on the night I got hurt. I can't survive the strain of the suits and I freak out if I get in one now." She whispered softly that Spike almost didn't hear her.

Applejack looked down with a single tear. "I lost my grandma and Apple Bloom to an evo attack. It's why I'm in the program now and push my body even though if I stay in a suit to long it starts to damage me more. I just can't let it happen to anyone else." She said, clenching her fists.

"I used to be in track then an evo took my legs. Now though I can fly so it can't be that bad for me." Rainbow tried to say with a brave face.

"Got caught in a crazy cult attack who saw evo's as the next step in evolution. They scarred me when I wouldn't join them but then Celestia saved me." Twilight finished up on their injuries before looking to Spikes sitting form. "You need to tell us now if you can do this. If you can survive this kind of life. There is no shame in taking up another job other then being a pilot." Her voice carrying the life of experiences over to him.

Spike sat there silently for so long that you could almost think the suit was empty. "When I was younger one of my friends made a promise with me. That when we got older if one of us turned into an evo the other would help put us down so that we wouldn't suffer. One day that promise was fulfilled. I know what this life is like but I want to do this, always have, always will even if it's the death of me." His voice full of determination and standing back up to his full heights.

The others were shocked at what he told them but each put on a smile and stood up once more with him. "Let's see how you handle the other suits then." Coached Pinkie, skipping over to the controls and waiting for Spike to slot it back up. The rest of the day went by with him testing each suit but never finding the one that truly fit him though everyone found he could use all of them easy even the mage sets. By the end the room's artificial lights turned on and everyone was tired.

"I think it's time we all moseyed on off to bed." Came AJ's tired voice. All the others agreed and moved to leave the room with Spike following up the back. The walk was filled with small chatter as each person got to their room. After saying their goodnights Spike stepped into his room finally to find it rather sparse and empty save for a desk and bed.

"Huh, guess I have to do my own decorating." He mumbled to himself, taking off his shirt. A knock came at his door that made him jump though. Opening the door revealed Pinkie Pie in a large baggy shirt that hung down to her thighs where he notice he couldn't see pants or shorts at all. "Uh, huuu, ahem, uhhh can I help you?" He stuttered out. He was shocked when she leaned in and kissed him on the lips for a few seconds not pulling away while his brain shut down and rebooted to process what happened.

"Happy birthday Spiky." She teased, walking back to her room.

Spike stood there, mouth opening and closing like a fish before turning around and walking back to his bed. "Can't wait to see what else happens in this place." He thought to himself as a goofy smile worked it's way onto him. For the next hour he tried to fall asleep but found his body just wouldn't shut down. "Ugh, so much for fitful sleep." He groaned, getting out of bed. Throwing on his clothes he stepped out into the cool hall looking for something to calm his mind. "A walk couldn't hurt." He muttered to himself, taking off down one of the halls. Slowly working himself around he passed staff on the nightshift along with a few people struggling to sleep as well giving weak waves or nods of acknowledgement. Eventually he found himself standing above the hanger looking through the window at the now empty room that just a few hours ago was full of people. About to turn away and continue walking he notice a strange looking man bent over a table, scribbling something while next to him stood a suit Spike had not seen before. "Huh, I wonder?" he thought to himself, working his way down to the entrance of the hanger. Entering quietly Spike made his way over to the man hearing him mumbling.

"If I could just find someone to actually test it but no one ever wants to try anything I make now." The strange man mumbled away, still scribbling notes. "I can't tell if the flight system works fully or how limited the range of motions are. The weaponry can't be turned on till I get a Pilot and the last time I got someone to actually get into it She booted them out." He let out a groan before taking a seat and banging his head against the table defeated.

Thinking this would be a better time to leave Spike got ready to turn before having the feeling he should at least offer to help the guy. "I might regret this." He thought to himself before turning back to the man. "Excuse me?" He asked making the man shoot back straight. 'Do you need help with something?" He continued, noticing the mans wild white hair and goatee, brown sweater with lab coat and boot on one foot while the other had a sneaker. "Uh whoever you are?" He finished up after looking the man up and down.

"Who are you?" the man asked before shaking his head. "Ah what does it matter this is probably a prank. No one comes up to me anymore." He grumbled letting his head back down to the table.

"Actually I don't know who you are. Um my names Spike I just got here today." Spike countered, slowly working up to the man. "What exactly are you working on?" He asked, looking over the notes and suit. It was tinted grey with plating that looked strong but also light, jets jutted slightly from the calves and shoulder while two cylinders rested above them slightly over the shoulders. The hands had claws and small holes near the knuckles and wrists for what Spike could guess were vents or some kind of weapons. The helmet looked like that of a dragon with two horns flowing back and curving slightly up at the tips. The legs were double jointed and the suit stood almost at nine feet tall making Spike have to look up at it. When the man didn't reply he asked "Did you make this? It looks awesome."

The man shifted slightly before looking up with puppy dog eye's that did not fit him. "Really?" He asked. When Spike nodded he straightened up and swiveled to look more at the suit. "My name is Doctor Richtofen Von Hellsing or as everyone calls me Discord." This caused Spike to sputter and look at him shocked. "Yes, yes, that Discord the one who released the virus on the world instead of how the big wigs said it 'Find a way to contain it'." He said making quotation marks with his hands. "As for this yes I made it. It's a prototype of mine to improve the suits. Fast like a speedster, strong like a wrecker, technologically advanced like a mage class, and all the other bits and baubles of the others." He listed with a wave of his hand. "Problem is no one will test it or if I can get someone they get rejected by Her." He complained, throwing a crumpled up piece of paper at the suit, it just bouncing off harmlessly.

Spike picked up the paper and after unraveling it saw it talking about someone called Eris. "Is Eris the A.I. in the suit?" He questioned, looking back at the armor.

Discord looked at it and sighed. "Yes, the A.I. needed to run this type of suit had to be better then the ones we have now. Problem is that we can't fully make one that doesn't also get an attitude!" He shouted the last part at the suit. A small light on it flashed that caught Spike's attention.

"Could I try?" He asked, Discord snapping his head towards the young man. "Yes, I'm being serious can I?" He added when the man narrowed his eye's at him.

Before he could answer the suit opened up for someone to step in. Discord gave a wave for him to step up. Spike found the inside lined with what looked like padding but he could see wiring between each seam. Resting his body in place the suit closed up and a voice spoke. "So you think you can tame me huh?" Challenged a female voice in the head piece.

"Is that you Eris?" He questioned trying to look around in the dark space.

"Answer the question." Ordered the voice.

Spike thought for a moment before shrugging. "Not really. I don't have an A.I. of mine own yet since I literally just got here but after testing the suits and learning all about what you guy's have to do so the pilots can focus on other things I would say it would be unfair to force you to do things." He spoke casually.

The suit was silent for a moment that even Discord outside was holding his breath. Eventually lights flickered on inside and out of the suit allowing Spike to see the outside world. "Do you promise to allow me freedom of voice and thought?" She asked quietly.

"Of course I do. I can say I'm smart but if what Discord said about this suit and you are true then that means I definitely couldn't work this myself or with one of the other A.I.'s plus if you have your own personality and mind then I'd have to be trying to force a person to do something they don't want too." He explained his thoughts to Eris earning a hum back.

"Okay, you're my pilot now." Came the suddenly happy and chipper voice of Eris.

Discord could be seen jumping up and down, celebrating at the news. "Lad you have no idea how happy this makes me!" He shouted happily, clapping. "I can finally test everything now." Excitedly running back and forth from the table to the suit.

"Ugh, dad you're embarrassing me." Whined Eris through the system.

"Wait dad?" Spike almost shouted in confusion.

Discord stopped in his tracks and even Eris fell silent. Spike was worried he had offended them when Discord finally spoke. "That's right never told you. Remember how I said our current A.I. couldn't handle the strain the suit puts out. Well I was lying when I said there wasn't a way to make one strong enough. The one way to make one is the sacrifice of another person." He spoke softly. "Eris was, no is my daughter. A few years after the release of the virus an evo attacked a base I was stationed at. It killed a lot of people and badly wounded more, Eris was one of the injured. She wouldn't make it so she made me transfer her mind over to the computer system that I had been working on. This suit is her way of helping me further our work in life. It allows me to hear her voice again and hopefully see the world once more, that's why you are such an amazing person for her to not only use the suit but have her actually accept you as the pilot." He finished the story, running a hand along the arm of the suit.

"I promise to take care of her sir." Spike promised, moving around slowly in the suit to get the hang of it. "How do I carry you around Eris?" He asked her.

"Easy I fit into your armor or any augmentation you have." She explained. "Which work would you like me to go into?" She questioned.

Spike thought for a moment before tapping the back of his head where his neck and head met. "Everyone has a chip installed now so why not there, then you can't be removed if I lost a limb or something." He suggested, feeling a tingle in his skull.

"Kind of roomy in here." He could hear her mutter.

"Don't start messing with things in there." He warned, feeling her shift around in his head. The armor opened up once more allowing him out where he then gave a yawn. "Sorry to run on you Doc but I need some sleep." He explained to Discord who gave a small smile and shook his hand.

"Go ahead. I expect to see you around tomorrow to test out the armor okay?" The crazy looking man ordered.

"Yes sir" Spike replied with a smile and mock salute before walking back to his room. "Well this day got even weirder." he thought to himself.

Eris let out a small laugh. "Oh you have no idea on weird yet." She said laughing softly as he slipped into bed.

Author's Note

Our hero gets his own suit now hurrah!
