Every Journey Begins With A Single Step
I Can't Give You A Hand, But I Can Give You A Arm And Leg
Previous ChapterNext ChapterThe next morning, Spike woke up in the arms of Celestia. She was smiling at him. "Good morning Sweetie, did you sleep well?"
Spike nodded as he yawned. "Yeah. What time is it?"
"It's around 7:30, I already raised the sun for the day. But you looked so lonely, alone in the bed, so I got back in to keep you company." Celestia released Spike and they both sat up. Spike leaned to each side to loosen his back. Celestia giggled at her son. "I guess you still do that then."
Spike nodded. "Yep, helps me wake up and loosen my muscles." Spike looked around and noticed that somethings weren't where they were supposed to be. He looked down to his body and noticed that he was naked. "MOM, where are my clothes!?" Yelled Spike as he tried to cover himself from his mother's view.
Celestia giggled. "Oh, lighten up Sweetie, you got nothing new for me to see." Said Celestia as she got out of the bed and reviled that she was wearing a pair of panties and a nightshirt.
Spike groaned at the sight. Celestia in his world never cared about appearances around her family. It wasn't an uncommon sight to see her in just panties in the morning back home, and she needed at least 2 cups of coffee before she even thought about covering her breasts. That meant that Spike was used to seeing his mother in such a state of undress. 'Some things are just hard wired.' Thought Spike. He sighed. "That still doesn't explain where my clothes are." Said Spike.
Celestia looked at Spike. "You mean the ones that were torn, covered in blood and dirt, and uncomfortable to sleep in? I teleported them off of you while you were asleep and asked the guards to burn them."
"MOM!" Yelled Spike.
Celestia giggled. "Oh, lighten up, I asked the royal dress maker to make you some clothes earlier, their just like your old one's except brand new, I also have your wallet, it's on the desk."
Spike sighed. "Ok, sorry for yelling."
Celestia smiled. "It's fine Spike."
Spike looked around trying to find the bathroom. "Hey mom, where is the bathroom? I want to get cleaned up for the day."
Celestia smiled. "Well, I was going to head there myself, how about we take a bath together like we used to?"
"Mom that was when I was like 3...Wait, why are you wearing clothes now? You weren't when I showed up, and now that I think about it, the only ponies I've seen with clothes are those guards yesterday, everyone else has been naked."
"Oh, right, I should have told you. Spike here in Equestria all creatures have magic. Unicorns can cast spells like teleportation, levitation, shield spells, attack spells, and many others. Pegasi can fly and walk on clouds along with the ability to handle things like snow, rain, lightning, rainbows, and like many types of birds, they too have a homing instinct that allows them to navigate around. Earth ponies use their magic to enhance their strength and stamina, along with the ability to influence the environment. For example, farmers can make crops more productive or last longer before dying. But each pony is different, a unicorn can be a prodigy with fire magic but horrible with wind, or shield magic. Pegasi who are born weak fliers can possess other abilities to compensate where they are lacking. The best example is Fluttershy, she has always been a poor flyer, but she has the ability to communicate with animals. Earth Ponies are stronger sure, but when an earth pony isn't strong many possibilities are opened. Pinkie Pie is one such pony, she's nowhere near as strong as Applejack, so she can change her body, she can stretch, inflate, deflate, compress, and bounce." Said Celestia.
"Um... I haven't met her yet, Twilight said they tied her up so she wouldn't do anything to me." Said Spike.
Celestia sighed. "Ok, well you'll see what I mean when you meet her. Lastly, we come to the Alicorns. Alicorns possess the attributes from the other tribes, earth pony strength and stamina, the ability to fly and walk on clouds, and the ability to use magic, but we also have the enhanced magic that is affected by our world. I can control the sun meaning I change the suns rotation and amount of energy it puts out. Luna controls the moon, meaning she can influence the tide, we are called Solar Alicorns, because we control the solar bodies. Cadance on the other hand is called an emotional Alicorn. She can gather emotions from her surroundings and use them to grant her a power boost. But not all emotions are created equal, like not all magic, each emotion is strong against another, anger is weak to joy, but joy is weak to sadness, that sort of thing. But there are two emotions that are the most powerful, Love and Hatred. Long ago when Cadance was born, we knew that she was the embodiment of Love, and she excelled at using love with her magic. That little baby with her yesterday was her daughter, Flurry Heart, she is also an emotional Alicorn, but until she's a little older, we will not know what emotions she embodies. So until then she can channel the whole spectrum. When she's sad or upset, her cry can produce shockwaves or stun ponies, when she's happy, plants bloom and the sky's clear, when she's angry, her strength can rival that of a full adult."
Spike nodded. "Ok, note to self, don't make the baby upset, got it, but what about Twilight, you said she's an Alicorn, what kind is she?"
Celestia nodded. "Yes, she is a primal Alicorn, and she utilizes the magic that holds this world together. But more specifically the magic of friendship, but we kinda diverted away from why everyone is naked, that's because every creature has the ability to simply conceal the reproductive organs, until they wish to reveal them." Celestia closed her eyes and slowly her chest started to grow larger and larger, until they stopped at a giant pair of G cups, with a pair of light pink nipples resting at the tips. "You see, this allows us to simply walk around in our own fur, no one judges, no one gets upset. But we do not allow for it outside our homes or in public. the only ones that can go out unhidden are foals, because they can't control this magic yet, but it is taught in kindergarten."
Spike nodded. "Ok, so the panties are for what?" Asked Spike.
Celestia shrugged. "They make me feel hot."
Spike sighed. "That long list of questions is going to have to wait for a long while, and hopefully will never be answered. Look...can you put up your boobs and find me a towel. I don't like the idea of letting it all just hang out there. Plus a bath sounds really nice right now."
Celestia nodded as she willed her boobs to recede back into her chest. "Don't worry about your towel Spike, I'll just teleport us there." Said Celestia as she picked Spike up in her magic.
He still held the covers over his crotch, so his mother didn't see. "Mom." Said Spike.
Celestia giggled. "Oh Sweetie, take it from a mare that's been around a long time, you got nothing to be ashamed of, your actually pretty big, by stallion standards."
Spike groaned. 'Not something I ever wanted my mother to ever say to me.' Thought Spike. He sighed and dropped his cover. "Just get us in the bath." Said Spike.
Celestia didn't need to be told twice, she powered up her horn and instantly teleported Spike and herself into the royal bath. But she forgot to mention that Luna likes to take a bath before she goes to sleep for the day.
Luna was relaxing in the royal bath, after a long night of watching the dreams of ponies and helping resolve nightmares, she felt like she deserved to unwind fully. She was floating in the water of the solid marble tub with her full F chest out and displaying her dark blue nipples to the ceiling, the stone lion mason work and her bath time companion Sir Quack the royal bath time knight.
She sighed in relaxation. "This is nice, the bath all to myself, a long day’s rest waiting for me, not hearing my daughter enjoying her relationship with Shining at all hours of the night."
Suddenly Luna shot up from her bath. "Somethings wrong, Tia should be in the baths by now." And Luna was right.
Celestia with Spike in tow popped into the baths. "I'm never going to get used to that." Said Spike. He looked around and noticed Luna, her chest was still out and going off the blush on both of their faces they both knew it. Spike gulped. "Aunt Luna, I think... um your chest is out." Said Spike.
Luna nodded and closed her eyes. Quickly her chest was gone, and she tried not to look at Spike. "Yes, sorry, I wasn't expecting you to show up here. I was just about to get out."
Celestia giggled. "Nonsense, Luna, please stay, it'll be just like the time we all bathed together in Japan when Spike was three." Said Celestia.
Luna and Spike sighed. Back when Spike just turned three, Celestia had to take a trip to Japan to meet with a possible new partner. So of course, she brought Spike, Luna and her, at the time 6-year-old daughter, Cadance. Celestia got a beautiful resort for them to stay at, that had a large open bath. Normally this isn't a problem, both genders had a bath to themselves, but that only pertains to children under a certain age, again not normally a problem... if there was someone to take care of Spike. But unfortunately, Discord was on the other side of the world in South Africa handling a job. So, Spike was taken into the women's bath, because he was too young to go in by himself. Everything went great, Spike got cleaned, he had fun in the warm water, and he loved the star filled sky.
Spike just never thought he was going to be bathing with a pony version of his mom, and aunt, at the age of 22 while missing an arm and a leg. "Mom, can you put me in the water?" Asked Spike.
Celestia nodded as she placed Spike in one of the larger tubs. "Thanks." Said Spike, he could already feel his tensions melting away.
Spike sighed as he looked at his missing parts. 'Hmm, I wonder when Dad will drop by with that help he promised.' Thought Spike. Suddenly Celestia stepped into the tub with Spike. "Bit for your thoughts?" Asked Celestia.
Spike looked back and ignoring the fact that his mother is in the tub with him, he shrugged. "Just wondering what dads doing right now, how I'm going to convince everyone back home that I'm not crazy, and how my life got so fucked up to the point that I'm here missing an arm and leg in the bath tub with my mother and aunt, but mostly how I'm actually calm about all of it." Spike smiled at Celestia. "I think its knowing that I'm not alone here, and even if you’re not 'my' mother, you still are her, and no matter what you look like, you are her to me."
Celestia smiled as she pulled Spike back to her chest. "Well, if it helps, I love you baby."
Spike smiled as he relaxed even more. "It does, it really does."
In Discords home, he was working on putting the final touches on to Spike's arm and leg. Discord looked at a detailed schematic of a metal arm. "Ok, so using that old cartoon as a base, and adding some of my own personal magic along with some tech I found in the closet, the arm should be able to interface with Spikes nerves letting him move his new fingers and feel whatever he touches." Discord then moved to another schematic showing a metal leg. "And his new leg should have full motion like a normal foot, but I can't believe I didn't have enough metal for a pinkie toe of all things. It should connect to his stump and feel right, it might be a little heavier than he's used to, but he's a smart boy, he should be able to compensate for it. Not to mention all the little enhancements I added, he should have some fun with them." Discord cracked his neck, he stayed up all night working on the limbs for Spike, but they were ready, except for one thing. "Now what colors should I make them? Green as a base? No, Spike is more of a purple kinda kid." Said Discord as he snapped his fingers to make the limbs all purple. "Ok. Now, what about the nails and spikes on the knuckles, arm, and leg? Red? No, it clashes way too much, that pompous white unicorn would have a heart attack the moment she sees it. Yellow? Nope." Discord shrugged as he snapped his fingers to make the accent color green. "Eh, why mess with a classic?" Asked Discord as he placed both limbs in a box and wrapped it with a large red bow on top. Discord took a deep breath. "I should probably grab some hard booze to go with this, it's going to hurt like a mother when I attach them to him." Said Discord as he walked to a large cabinet on the ceiling and pulled out a bottle of booze, but instead of three X's, the whole jug was covered in them. "847 proof should be enough." Said Discord as he closed the cabinet. "After this is all over, I'm going to call them and get some answers." Said Discord, he then snapped his tail and teleported to the castle.
Spike was drying off from the bath, Celestia was doing the same. They enjoyed the bath together, and Celestia even washed Spike's back for him seeing as he could only reach half of it himself. But right now, they were back in Celestia's room, where sitting next to Spike was a brand-new copy of his clothes. Spike looked at his mother, she was on her third towel, and he chuckled. "Something I'm glad for not having in this world, fur."
Celestia looked at Spike. "Shut up, it's not easy being covered in fur you know, me and Luna alone go through enough shampoo in a month than you do in a decade."
It didn't stop Spike from chuckling still. "Sorry, your right, I'm sorry, but when your all dry are you a puff ball?"
"Shut up." Said Celestia as she tried to push down a bit of her coat that was starting to fluff.
Suddenly Discord popped into the room to deliver Spike's arm and leg. "Good morning all." Said Discord.
Both Spike and Celestia looked at the sudden Discord. "Dad!" Smiled Spike. "What are you doing here and why do you look like you didn't sleep last night?" Asked Spike.
Discord yawned, his face was pale, his eyes had bags under them, and his eyes were red. But he smiled none the less. "Because I didn't sleep Spike, I was up all night working on these." Said Discord as he handed Spike the gift box with his new arm and leg inside.
Spike took the box and opened it, sitting inside was Spike's purple and green arm and leg. Spike smiled at them as he picked up his new arm, he looked at it closely. "Dad, why does the design remind me of something?"
Discord smiled. "Well, I kinda based it on a character from your favorite cartoon from when you were growing up."
Spike smiled. "That's right, they look like the metal limbs that Combustion Man had in the third season of Avatar, we watched that show all the time back then. I can't believe you remembered."
Discord smiled. "What, you and I watched that show every Saturday morning during breakfast, I remember every episode."
Spike smiled as he pulled out his leg from the box. "Well, let’s put these puppies on and take them for a joyride." Said Spike, he was excited to finally walk again.
Discord looked at Spike. "Spike, hold on for a moment, I'm going to need you to drink this first." Said Discord as he showed the bottle of booze. "Because, this is going to hurt, like a room of women soccer players kicking you in the nuts, in steel toed boots, levels of pain."
Spike looked at Discord. "And how the hell do you know what that's like?"
Discord shivered. "Another Discord had that happen to him, the poor bastard was kicked into a coma for a month."
Spike shuttered. "Give me that booze." Said Spike.
Celestia sighed. "Spike, I know we kinda lost touch with you while you've been gone, but I don't remember you liking alcohol all that much, would you prefer me using my magic to knock you out for this?"
Discord looked sheepish. "Celestia, I added some of my raw magic into the design so it will connect with Spike's nerves and we both know that even in my split state, my magic is much stronger than yours. The moment we attach them to him, my magic will overpower yours and he will feel everything."
Celestia groaned as she rubbed her temples. She looked at Spike. "Spike, I'll make sure to help you with the hangover."
Spike smiled. "Thanks mom." He looked at the jug, he popped off the cork and took a single whiff of the drink. Spike's eyes watered from the smell as the world around him went black. Spike fell back onto the bed; he was knocked out and completely unresponsive.
Discord sighed as he teleported the bottle back to his home. "Thank dad, I wasn't sure if he was going to do that or not."
Celestia glared at Discord. "Discord, what did you do to Spike?"
Discord groaned. "Well if he drank it straight, he would have died. This is 210% pure alcohol, his liver couldn't have handled it, and even a single drop in a swimming pool is strong enough to get anyone hammered like a nail. Thankfully he only inhaled it, so he should be knocked out for an hour or so, but there's a good chance he won't remember the last ten minutes or so when he wakes up."
Celestia sighed. "So, you flipped a coin to see if Spike died or got a new leg and arm?"
Discord shook his head. "Tia you know me; I never play fair. The bottle was empty before I even got here, but on that note could I borrow Blooming Flower for a while, I kinda dumped the booze out into my garden and my plants, grass and tree are all dead."
Celestia sighed. "We'll talk about it later Discord, let’s get Spike hooked up first. Where do we start?"
"Let's start with his leg, you hold him down and do what you do best, keep him calm." Said Discord as he turned Spike on the bed, so he was fully on the bed. He grabbed the leg and connected it to Spike's stump. Discord looked at Celestia. "It should only take about one minute for everything to connect. Are you ready Tia?"
Celestia nodded, she looked down at Spike, she placed his head in her lap and kissed his forehead. "Don't worry Spike, mommy is right here."
Discord took a deep breath as he reached deep down to unlock his ancient magic. His eyes started glowing green along with his hands, he placed one on Spike's thigh and one on the leg. He pushed the two together and started the connection process. Spike started to squirm at the feeling, but soon he started to cry in pain and struggle. Celestia held Spike down using all her strength. "Spike, breathe. Everything is ok, mommy is right here, your safe." Said Celestia. But it didn't work, Spike was still struggling to escape. Seeing Spike suffering through this, was just too much for Celestia to handle, she started to cry herself as she tried her best to comfort Spike. "Spike, you need to stay calm, you’re doing a great job, me and your father are so proud of you, and we need you to keep it up for a little longer." Said Celestia, this time her words seemed to make it to Spike's brain, as he started grunting, trying to hold in the pain. Celestia smiled at seeing this. "Great job Sweetie, you’re going to be just fine."
"Celestia, If you can? Get Luna in here, we'll need her help for his arm." Said Discord as his eyes, and hands stopped glowing. "His leg is done now, but I can't work on his arm and keep his legs down."
Celestia nodded. "Ok Discord, and thank you for tapping into Life's powers. How many Discords agreed to use it?"
Discord sighed. "Two. Me and his father. Tia when this is over, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble with the others, but I want answers about why he's here and Life is the only one who can give me them."
Celestia smiled. "If you need me to say something on your behalf, just tell me."
Discord Smiled. "Thanks Tia. Now can we get your sister to join us on the bed, Spike need's all the help he can get to keep it up... And yes, I know that phrase could sound wrong, if taken out of context."
Celestia giggled. "Yes. Yes, it could." Said Celestia as she used her magic to teleport Luna into her room before she fell asleep for the day.
Luna popped into Celestia's room, she looked at the odd display, and immediately looked at Discord. "This is a new level of weird for you, and that's saying something."
Discord rolled his eyes. "Stuff it, Spike need's his new arm, and we need you to hold down his legs. Also, you might be meeting the others soon because I'm tapping into Life's powers to form the connection."
Luna groaned. "How many agreed to it?"
"Me and his father. Now shut up, I only have access to it for another few minutes." Said Discord.
Luna nodded and pushed down Spike's legs. She nodded to Discord. "Ready."
Discord's hands and eyes started glowing again as he started the process. Spike again started to squirm, then it changed to struggling, but this time it went further, Spike screamed in pain. "Spike, please bear with it for a little longer, I know it hurts, but your my little Spike, you didn't cry when you were scared when you got your tonsils removed, you didn't cry when you broke your leg, you are a strong man."
Spike grunted as he bit his lip to muffle is cries. But it didn't stop him from crying. "Your almost finished Spike, and don't worry, me, Discord, and Luna are all here cheering you on."
Luna smiled at her sister’s words and placed her hand onto Spike's chest. "Yep, I'm not letting my sweet little nephew go through this alone, besides we never settled who was the best at Mario Kart and you promised to give me a rematch when you got back."
Discord laughed. "Yeah buddy, there are still a lot of things I still need to do with you, we need to head to a strip club for your first lap dance, I need to tell you how to calm down an angry woman, how to play cards, and a hundred other things."
Celestia glared at Discord. "First off, my baby is not going to a strip club, and second you will never know how to calm down any angry woman." She looked at Spike and smiled at him. "And what about me, I'll never forgive you if you don't get married, you don't have a child that I can spoil rotten, and I'll never get the chance to threaten the woman you chose, like any good mother does."
Discord smiled as he removed his hands from Spike, his hands and eyes were back to normal. "He's done, let's let him rest until he wakes up." Said Discord.
Luna nodded as she let go of Spike's legs. She walked up to Spike. "You did great Spike." Said Luna as she kissed Spike's forehead.
Discord nodded. "Your dad did say you were a tough S.O.C. (Son of Celestia), but that's clearly an understatement. You did a great job Spike; I'll teach you how to use them later."
Celestia smiled at Spike. "You bet your my son, you did a great job Spike, now get some rest, you deserve it." Celestia carefully lowered Spike's head to the bed to let him sleep the booze off. "I'll be right outside when you wake up." Said Celestia as she, Discord and Luna walked out of the room.
Discord sighed. "He should be awake in the next hour. Life and the others should be calling me any minute, but the moment we're done, I'll be right back." Suddenly Discord's tail started ringing. "Speak of the devil." Said Discord as he picked up his tail. "Yes... yes.... yes... ok. What about the others? Really, to pieces you say, so they’re not coming. Oh come on, why do I have to host? Oh, don't give me that shit, we all know that both of their cooking is a one-way ticket to Death's place." Discord groaned. "Fine, I have some stuff in my place, but I want you to heal my plants, and bring in his father. Deal." Said Discord as he hung up his tail.
Celestia looked at Discord. "So, I'm guessing that was Life?"
Discord nodded. "Yep, we're meeting at my place in like five seconds. I don't need Blooming Flower anymore, Life is going to fix it for me, and they will be bringing Spike's Discord over, but he didn't sound mad, so I don't think this universe is doomed."
Celestia smiled. "Thank you Discord." Said Celestia, she kissed Discord's cheek. "I'm glad to know that even after 1000 years, your still you."
Discord smiled. "Tell Spike to take it easy for a while when he wakes up. Goodbye Tia, Lulu." Said Discord as he teleported to his home.
Luna smiled that Discord is trying to patch things up. "Well, it's way past my bedtime, I'll see you tonight sister."
Celestia smiled. "Have a good days sleep Luna, and thanks for what you said in there, it helped."
Luna smiled. "Well, he is Spike." Luna then teleported to her room so she could fall asleep.
Celestia smiled. "Well he is one S.O Me." Said Celestia as she teleported a chair in the hallway so she could sit down.
Discord walked into his home and sighed at the sight in front of him. In front of him was his siblings and himself. Discord looked at his older brother and the oldest of all of them, Life. "Thanks for fixing my lawn, 210% hooch is not good for them. But what's with the look bro, your normally more put together than this." Asked Discord.
In the room floated a green gas cloud. "It's hard for me to transport matter between so many realities Discord, sometimes not everything crosses over."
Discord sighed as he looked to his older sisters. "Death, how is it going for you?"
Death shivered in fear, because of the mortal vessel Discord was in, she was always shy around living creatures, because of her ability to kill anything she touches. But when she is alone with her immortal family, she was a completely different person, that cracked jokes, terrorizes Harmony, and couldn't give two fucks about the things that piss her off, but she was actually very kind, and loved to learn about the realities, so much so she always took the form of Mistress Death from Marvel Comics.

"I've been fine, thank you for having me." Said Death.
Discord smiled at his sister. "It's fine Death." He looked to his other sister Harmony, their parents always saw her as an angel, and it doesn't help that she liked to appear as one, wings and all. "Hello Harm, you haven't messed with anything have you?"
She stuck out her tongue. "Sorry Dissy, but I cleaned your house for you, and all of your plates are actually clean."
Discord sighed. "You know I don't like it when you do that, but just don't touch anymore of my stuff." Discord looked at himself and smiled. "Sorry to drag you out again, but good news, Spike has his new limbs on, he's sleeping off my booze right now."
Discord smiled. "Thanks for doing it for him, but I hate the fact that I only get to remember talking to you when we're together."
Both Discords glared at their brother. "So, I want answers to why my son is with me and Celestia in a reality where they lost him before he was born?"
"Discord, first off, I didn't do that. Your Spike was only missing an arm and leg, and your two realities are 1978264893 realities apart. Now look at me, I was only 67847 realities away watching over a new planet being born." Said Life.
Discord Looked to Death. "I didn't do it, I can barely pop into the next reality in the line without losing my form, I just got the call from the next reality over, the last sun is about to die and I'm trying to get all of the creatures ready. I'm sorry I'm not more help."
Both Discords sighed. "It's fine Death." Said both Discords. Earth Discord looked at Harmony. "What about you Sis, were you trying to make up for the missing Spike by taking one from another Reality?"
Harmony shook her head. "Sorry Dissy, this isn't my doing either, I was sorry to hear about Spike and Celestia, but it was not for me to influence, she lost him naturally, as morbid as that is to say."
"If it helps, he's living a nice afterlife with a couple Celestias that have passed on, I wish I could show you, but you know once someone passes, I'm the only one who can see them."
Discord sighed. "Thanks Sis, it actually does make me feel a little better that my son is at least with Celestia in some form. But that doesn't explain who transported Spike so far between me and his reality."
"Well, what about mom and dad? They're plenty powerful to send a single mortal so far." Suggested Harmony.
"What about his arm and leg then?" Asked Life.
Harmony shrugged. "Aunt Fate maybe, sometimes things just get lost in the transit."
"So, your suggesting that out of their infinite number of grandkids, they chose my Celestia and his Spike?" Asked Discord.
"Well, yeah. It's not like Life could have kids, he's too busy working."
"True that." Said Life.
"And Death can't touch a living thing without it dying, so sex is right out of the question."
Death blushed hard, she hasn't had a boyfriend or sex in almost 10 billion years.
Discord looked at Harmony. "What about you, last I checked you’re the reason I was stuck in a statue for 1000 years, Sis. Your son Starswirl is still stuck in that limbo dimension you know."
Harmony sighed. "I know all too well, but when I asked if he wanted mommy to get him out, he told me to leave and let him and his friends deal with it. I drop by every so often to check up on him though."
Discord sighed. "So, no one knows who put my Spike with his Celestia, and our best opinion is our parents?" Asked Earth Discord.
Everyone nodded. He sighed. "Fine, then can we just get to why we're here then; I'm going to be late for a meeting in five seconds. So, I only got a few minutes."
Life shrugged. "Oh, I didn't care, Spike needed it and I do care about all my nieces and nephews, but please don't use them again Discord, that's probably why I'm not dressed. Well I got to go get a new body, see you later guys." Said Life as he vanished into the reality.
"Me too, I got 24.8 trillion souls to house, I'm going to be busy for a while." Said Death as she was engulphed in black fire and taken to the dying reality.
"I might just stay and finish cleaning up for my baby bro." Said Harmony.
"NOPE!" Said Discord as he picked up his sister by the scruff and kicked her out of his home. He closed the door and sighed. He looked at Discord. "So, do you really think that mom or dad did this?" Asked Discord.
"I wouldn't put it past them, do you know how many of us are together with Celestia?"
Discord nodded. "Yeah, like 60% of us are and about 5% of us have Spike."
"Yeah, your lucky you get to remember all of this, all I get is a headache. Tell Spike to behave himself around your world's females, I do not want to be the grandfather of a bunch of foals because of red week, and especially keep him from that mare Pinkie Pie, last time most of us met, I talked to a few of us and she's either a flirt or completely nuts."
Discord laughed. "No promises. Hey, you guys did a great job raising him."
"Thanks, I'm sure you two would have done just as great with him, also great idea on the design." Said Discord as he returned to his world, leaving Discord alone in his house.
Discord sighed. "Well might as well go check up on him." Said Discord as he teleported back to Celestia.
Spike was waking up, he looked around for some sign of what happened, the last thing he remembered was Celestia taking him out of the bath and handing him a towel. "Uh, what the hell happened?" Asked Spike.
"Well, aside from getting your new arm and leg, you've been out for a while." Said Discord, he was floating upside down.
Spike looked at his arm and leg. "When the hell did this happen?" Asked Spike. He was smiling at his new arm and leg. "And they look so cool, but where have I seen this before?"
"Avatar, Combustion Man, we've already talked about it. You lost your memory because of the anesthetic I used."
Spike nodded as he moved his hand and fingers. "It feels almost real."
Discord smiled. "Good, that was the point, now before your mother comes in and yells at me for giving you something this powerful, let me teach you how to use it. First off bring all of your fingers together, this will deactivate the connection anchors so you can remove both your arm and leg, I linked them to your mind so if you ever need them all you need to do is think about them and they will reattach themselves to you."
Spike nodded and brought all his fingers together and felt his arm disappear, he then pictured his arm in his mind and the arm started moving, it then moved up and Spike could feel it again. Spike smiled. "That's awesome, what else can this thing do?"
Discord smiled. "You have no idea, try snapping." Said Discord.
15 minutes later, Discord was wrapping up on the user’s manual for the arm. "Ok, lastly if you turn your hand around and disconnect it from the arm and then press the first spike, you will activate a powerful laser cannon that will knock out everything it's aimed at, yourself included. So, don't use it unless necessary. You got all that?"
Spike nodded. "So, your telling me I have a cannon, I can teleport, I can shoot fire out of my hand and foot, this thing can turn into a shield, it increases my strength, and it's waterproof?"
Discord nodded. "Yep, but there's one more thing that you should know. You don't have a pinkie toe anymore."
Spike shrugged. "Ok." Spike looked at his new arm and leg, but he noticed that he was still naked. "Oh right, I need to get dressed." Said Spike, he moved to sit on the bed. Spike took a deep breath and stood on his feet.
"Spike, take it slow, you'll need some time to get used to it." Said Discord.
Spike looked at Discord. "Dad, no offense, but I've been naked for a while now, and it's really cold." Said Spike as he took a step, then another, and another. "Besides, your work is pretty good, it feels well balanced and sturdy." Said Spike as he put on his boxers. "Plus, I kinda missed walking on my own." Said Spike as he got on his new pants and shirt. He looked at Discord. "Where's mom?" Discord pointed to the door. Spike nodded as he walked to the door. He pushed it opened to greet his mother. "Mom." Said Spike, but all he saw was Celestia, she was asleep in the chair. Celestia had lied to Spike about sleeping well. She only got around 2 hours, because for most of the night, she was fully awake and snuggling Spike. She wanted to make sure that her son wasn't going to disappear.
Spike sighed as he looked at his mother. He looked back at Discord. "Dad, you said this thing was equipped with some strength enhancements, right?"
Discord nodded. "Yep, its set to around 5 times stronger, so if you tried to lift 100 pounds you could do it with 5 times as much weight, and before you ask, yes it's set to it's max and she only weighs around 175." Said Discord.
Spike nodded as he carefully picked up Celestia. He brought her back into her room and placed her in her bed. "I'll stay here for a while, Spike. I think you owe somepony a big thank you for saving you yesterday." Said Discord.
Spike nodded. "Yeah, so how does the teleportation work, do I just think about where I'm going to pop out or what?"
"All you have to do is snap your fingers and picture the location you want to pop out, simple as that." Said Discord.
Spike smiled as he pictured the inside of Fluttershy's home. "Tell mom, I'll be back soon." Said Spike, he snapped and vanished from the room.
Discord smiled. "Sure thing Spike." He looked down at Celestia. "I think we would have done just as great too."
