Dragonlord

“What are you doing here?! And more importantly, how did you find out where I live? You know what I don’t want to know,” Spike said

The figure before him remained quiet

“You have three seconds to give me a reason not to slam the door in your face, 1...2…” Spike started

“I JUST WANT TO TALK!” Twilight said

“You and I have nothing to talk about… leave,” Spike said as he started to close his door, just for Twilight to use her hand and little strength to stop it.

“Spike, please… hear me out… for old time sake,” Twilight begged

Spike remained quiet for a while and then motioned her to come inside

Twilight did as she was told, walked in and took off her shoes, then headed to Spike’s living room and sat down on the couch

“Thanks for allowing me to come in,” Twilight said

“Don’t much of it, I just don’t want my neighbors to complain about the noise, so what do you want?” asked Spike

“I really need to talk to you,” Twilight said

“As long as you say something substantial… I’ll lend you an ear,” Spike said as he sat down on the floor in front of Twilight

“Spike, listen, I know, I know I wasn’t… I know I wasn’t the…” Twilight began

“Before you start talking… I would like to know what exactly are you doing here?” Spike interrupted

Twilight remained quiet for a long while before answering “I just want your forgiveness, and I want to be friends again, just like the old days,”

“First of all… there is nothing to forgive, I already forgave you… that doesn’t mean I have forgotten what happened… as for the second request… Twilight, those days are gone, and to be honest I don’t think we can ever go back to the way we were,” Spike said

What Spike said shocked Twilight

“But Spike… I’ve tried to make it up to you in many ways already!” Twilight exclaimed

“Really? Forgive my ignorance, BUT I AM YET TO SEE IT!” Spike said getting angry

“I sent you a letter, bought you things, heck I even sta… I mean, followed you at a respectable distance this past week, to…”

“To learn where I live and what my hobbies are?” Spike interrupted

“You make it sound so dirty,” Twilight complained

“Twilight, allow me to clarify something to you… YOU WERE STALKING ME FOR THE LAST WEEK… how is that “healthy” also the letters and gifts you gave… they don’t mean anything,” Spike said

“What do you mean they don’t mean a thing?” Twilight said raising her voice a little

“The gifts you gave, all had a subliminal message of “join my Familia” did you really think I am that dumb?” Spike said

Twilight didn’t have a comeback for that comment “Pinkie you idiot, I told you to write an apology, not a subliminal invitation,”

“What happened to you Twilight? You used to be a nice person, always helping those in need, not carrying for popularity,” Spike said

Twilight remained quiet, not because she didn’t know what to say, but because she was angry.

“Is this really Spike, the little fool I “Befriended” years ago was much gullible to follow my instructions, and now he’s acting all high and mighty, just because he became more attractive, and has a higher rank in magic than anyone… the nerve on him, he is acting just like… just like me and the girls,” Twilight said in her head, then she looked at Spike and saw the look of disappointment on his face.

A cold shiver ran down Twilight’s spine, and as she looked back at Spike, she made eye contact with him.

“Twilight… please tell me what happened to you,” Spike said

“I… I don’t know,” Twilight said

“Well, I do… I know you always hated to be called “nerd” or “egghead” and you always wanted to be respected, but not like this, so the moment you got the title of princess and became “Popular,” you thought it was your chance to leave that life behind,” Spike said

“I guess you’re right I did use it as an excuse to gain power on campus, not to mention, I guess, I made the power hierarchy in school worst, even though my main mission was to destroy it,” Twilight said

“Worst is an understatement, you basically are the reason that powerful and powerful students treat lesser ranked ones like slaves, take Coco Pommel, for example, she admires Rarity so much she even allows herself to be degraded to the point she is, and all because she wants to fit in with the popular guys,” Spike said

“I can believe I caused all that, I’m more of a monster than you… not that you’re a monster, I just… you know,” Twilight said

“Yeah I know, I’m a Dragon, that makes me a monster by default,” Spike said

“A very attractive one… did I just think that?! Bad Twilight, bad Twilight, he is almost like your older brother, not to mention those thoughts are mostly Rarity’s to make,” Twilight said in her head

“Twilight, can you tell me why you think you were chosen as a princess,” Spike said

Twilight didn’t want to say something stupid, but at the same time she didn’t want to look as she was ignorant so she answered “Because of my magical ability?”

“No Twilight, it has nothing to do with magic or money, nothing to do with what is up here, or who your parents are, it has to do with what is inside here,” Spike said as he touched the spot on Twilight’s chest that was over her heart, “To be a princess or prince you need most of the aforementioned things, but you need a big, pure heart, a heart that knows what suffering feels like, that is willing to help those who are suffering, to bring a smile to anyone with a sad face, to be a symbol of hope, of righteousness… a symbol of harmony,” Spike said

Twilight remained quiet

“And definitely not a way to gain power, popularity, or even riches… what I mean is… you let your hate and anger get to you and wanted everyone else to suffer what you had to suffer, and that made you lose sight of what was really important,” Spike finished

“You’re right Spike… I guess I owe you an apology… for everything I made you go through,” Twilight said

“Oh no Twilight, the things you did to me hurt because I knew you since we were kids, but the things you did to other students, now that, is where you have to start apologizing, not me,” Spike told Twilight

“But still I abandoned you, my only real friend,” Twilight said

“Twilight listen, what you did is done, it can’t be erased, the best thing you can do is start over, but not with me like I said I forgive you, but all the other student you have mistreated, they need an apology,” Spike said

“He, I’m glad you haven’t changed… on the inside! You’re still the carrier of the purest heart I’ve ever met,” Twilight said

“He, guess you’re right, I hope,” Spike said

“Just like the old days, you used to give me this pep talks, every time I lost it,” Twilight said

“Well, that’s what friends are for,” Spike said

“So we ARE friends?” Twilight said

“I don’t think so,” Spike said

“But you just said…” Twilight began

“I know what I said, but it’s not so simple Twi, it can take you millions of years to earn someone’s trust, but you can lose it in an instant, and unfortunately I don’t trust you enough to call you a friend anymore,” Spike said

“Then what are we?” asked Twilight

“Let’s just say that we’re Good acquaintances that stand in very good terms,” Spike said

“Just like friends,” Twilight exclaimed

“No, you trust a friend, you don’t trust an acquaintance,” Spike said

“Figures, well I prefer to have you in my life as a Good acquaintance that not having you in it, but believe my words, I will earn your trust back, that’s a promise,” Twilight said

“Don’t make a promise you know you can’t keep,” Spike said

“Now you’re just being harsh!” Twilight exclaimed to which both Spike and her burst into laughter.

Twilight and Spike laughed for a good while, after talking for some more and almost laughing their bladder out, Twilight said

“I should better get going, it was nice to have a chat like frie- I mean good acquaintances again,”

“Need a ride?” asked Spike

“No, I finally got my license and my dad bought me a car so I’m ok,” Twilight said

Just as she was leaving, her phone bussed, Twilight quickly dug into her hand bag and fished her phone out, she quickly read the message and went pale.

“Something wrong?” asked Spike

“N- no… everything is fine… wrong number,” Twilight said

Unfortunately for Twilight Spike wasn’t buying it, and before she knew it Spike grabbed her phone off her hands and read the text

“We warned you princess, we told you to tell your boyfriend that his days were counted, but since we’re so merciful, we’ll give you one more day, tell your boyfriend to met us at the “Place where sun don’t shine” tomorrow at dawn, or else, we will personally, put you six feet under, - T” That is one strange wrong number message… so if I were you I’ll start talking,” Spike said

Twilight remained quiet for some seconds, but when she saw the look on Spike’s face she started to talk

“For a month, I’ve been receiving text messages for this unknown number, they keep telling me to tell my “boyfriend” that his days are numbered and that he has to pay for what he has done… I honestly just ignored them, but lately they have become more… aggressive, and now they’re just scaring me,” Twilight said trying to calm herself down

Spike quickly scrolled the conversation up and down, reading every line, making sure not to miss one single detail.

“So, what are you gonna do?” asked Spike

“I honestly don’t know, I mean, I know how to fight and all, but this doesn’t seem to be an easy situation,” Twilight said as she started to cry

“I take it you don’t even know who these people are, do you?” Spike asked

“No, I wish I knew, it will make things easier,”Twilight said

Spike walked towards Twilight and gave her a comforting hug to calm her nerves, which seemed to work

“Would you like me to take care of it?” asked Spike

Twilight just looked up to meet his eyes, the look on them made her shiver in fear, they were the eyes of a murderer, of a demon, but Twilight just nodded, maybe due to fear.

Spike broke the hug and quickly headed to his laptop, and entered a program on his computer.

“What are you doing?” Twilight asked

“Tracking the phones IP address,” Spike answered

“But how is that going to work? I mean this are text messages sent by a provably fake number,” Twilight said

“Well being a social reject made me gain some very “Unpopular” friends, one of them Microchips, created a program that could help me out, he even explained to me that every phone in the world can be tracked, known or unknown,” Spike said

“How?” asked Twilight

“For a phone to work, it needs to be connected to a satellite, Right? Well every phone in the world has internet on them, even if you don’t pay for it on your plan, so that phone gains an IP address to allow you to enter wifi signals and be recognized by the satellite and antennas, this makes it easier to track back a phone call or even the phone himself,” Spike explained

“I wonder why police officers don’t use this,” Twilight said

“What makes you think they don’t?” asked Spike

“The fact that there are so many crimes, even though they say that “We are winning the race against crime”” Twilight said

“You will never win a race against crime, now a days, that’s what holds the economy together, it’s convenient for many people to keep it going,” Spike said

Spike and Twilight continued searching the address until they result said that the signal was no longer available

“Now, what?” asked Twilight

“Give me a second… just as I thought, the fool who owns the phone that sent you the text didn’t change his cell phone chip before getting into place, look,” Spike said

“What?” asked Twilight

“Don’t you think that it’s too much of a coincidence that this IP address, just happened to “die” the moment this one existed and that it appeared again when this one “died”?” Spike said

“Yeah, now that you mention it, it is a bit strange,” Twilight said as Spike quickly went back to tracking the new IP address

After a few minutes Spike said “Bingo, 10211 Rose way, that’s the address of the current location of this cell phone, let’s see what this place is…” Spike said, but as soon as he pressed enter on his keyboard he went pail.

Twilight was confused, at first, she thought that Spike had found a scary type of dead end like an abandoned cemetery, but as she peered into the screen and read what was on screen she did her best not to laugh.

“Princess love Maid cafe,” you have to be kidding me Spike, don’t tell me you are still traumatized about maid cafes?” Twilight said almost laughing

“It’s not traumatization, it’s mayor discomfort,” Spike quickly said, his cheeks really red

“You only went to one of those once, it back in junior high, and nothing bad happened,” Twilight said

“Please tell me you remember how annoying our waitress was, and she was at least 50 years old” Spike said

“It was a one time Spike, trust me, they’re usually teenagers like us, or college students, don’t let your disdain for cosplay stop you when we’re this close to uncover the truth of our mystery caller,” Twilight said

“Your right, just let me put this tracker on my phone...and... let’s go,” Spike said as he grabbed his motorcycle helmet and keys and headed out followed by Twilight.

Spike rod his motorcycle with Twilight in her minivan close by

“Say Spike, I know it’s none of my business, but, why did Microchip make that tracking program for you?” ask Twilight over the bluetooth.

“Um… well, to be honest, Microchip and I are business partners,” Spike said

“Wait what?!” said Twilight

“Yeah, I have 2 businesses, I took over my Grandfather’s winery when he died, and Microchip and I created a software development company,” Spike explained once again

“But, aren’t you too young to run a winery?” asked Twilight

“I don’t “run” it, that’s my uncle’s (My Dad’s brother) job, I am just the legal owner,” Spike said

“How?” asked Twilight

“Before my Grandfather died, he called all his family together, by a cruel twist of fate, that only included, Me, my grandma and my dad’s brother, Spyro, on his dead bed, he told us what he had done in his will, and asked me and my uncle to come to an agreement for how and who would run the brewery, we decided to leave me as owner and my uncle as president, he gives 20% of what the company makes, which is about $950,000/month,” Spike said

“And what about the other company?” asked Twilight

“That was a chance “Investment,” last year while I was my usual, self being miserable, I ran into Microchips, literally, after helping him pick up his stuff we started talking and became somewhat friends, later that week, he told me he wanted to create a company, he later explained that he wanted to create a software engine that could help video game companies, and subsequently, tech companies, run faster and safer, he could this project “Ghost Bullet” he asked me if I wanted to be part of it, seeing as I knew my way around computers and I said yes, and that’s how “Megaflame” was born,” Spike said

“That’s sounds cool,” Twilight said

“Yeah, not to mention that our company is doing extremely well, heck, Microchips and I make around $10,000/week, which make my total earnings around $990,000/month,” Spike said

Twilight had gone quiet, her brain was trying to process what Spike had just said, but she had to ask on last thing

“And since when do you get this earnings?”

“I’ve been the owner of the Winery for almost 4 years now, on my birthday it will be officially 4 years, and Microchips and I have been in business for a year now, that means that I’ve made almost $45,600,000 just from the winery alone, but add the $480,000 I’ve made from the Software company and you get $46,080,000 and if the investments I have planned work, I might get to the Billions before I turn 20,” Spike finished

“R-really,” Twilight said over the speaker, Spike couldn’t tell but Twilight had actually gone pale from all the information he just gave her.

“Yeah, even to the point that both me and Microchips are in a bunch of lists called “Young and Powerful” or “Top 30 under 30,” heck we’re even in the top 50 richest entrepreneurs, me being number 8 and Microchips being number 20,” Spike said

“Wait Microchips, but the numbers don’t add up, you said You earned $10K/Week…” Twilight said

“I earn $10K /week, but I only own, 10% of the company, since all I did was invest in it, Microchips does all the work, all I do is look over the finance and recruitment department, he makes $90K/week in this company, but he has other ventures as well,” Spike explained

“As for the program on my computer… I hired his services to help me track down my money and investments, regardless of how they were made, I also use it for the Software company to track down equipment, that way we can see who buys the authentic one and not a pirate version of it, it also helps me track down hackers that want to steal from our companies,” Spike finished

Twilight was still quiet, she didn’t even know that Spike had accomplished so much, he even had more money than her and she was royalty.

“Say Spike, a part of me, who else knows about your wealth?” asked Twilight

“A part of you, Big Mac and the guys, and Microchips, although he found out after the first list came out, but believe me, ever since the guys found out, it has been impossible for me to even get them a present, heck I even had to argue for 1 hour to convince Soarin to let me buy him a coffee, but he kept saying that he wanted to buy it himself,” Spike said

“My guess is that they don’t want you to waste your money on them,” Twilight said

“I know, but it’s not like I’m going to buy them really expensive things, they wouldn’t accept them anyway,” Spike said

Spike and Twilight remained quiet for some time before twilight said

“Spike, mind me asking, but, so far you’ve only mentioned your paternal grandparents, what happened with your mom’s side?”

“My relatives from my mom’s side, I’ve never really met them, from what my mom explained, they distanced themselves from us by their own will,” Spike said

“Why? Did they not like your mom,” Asked Twilight

“My mom was not only from a wealthy family, she was royalty, or at least that’s what I’ve learned, apparently she was the youngest cousin of Lord Knucker, the greatest Dragonlord to ever live, when he passed away at age 40, his best friend, Dragonlord Torch, took his place, since he didn’t have kids,” Spike said

“Not the ladies man I presume,” Twilight said

“Nah, rumor has it, he was actually gay, or at least bisexual with a preference for men, also according to some source close to him, he was inferile,” Spike said

“So going back to your mom,” Twilight said

“Well. her dad, my grandfather, wanted her to marry into a rich and powerful merchant family, but she always found an excuse to delay the meeting with her sutter, then one day, she met my dad, it was love at first sight she said, he was 18 and she was 17, they dated in secret for 1 year, until her family found out, and gave her an ultimatum, the merchant or else,” Spike narrated

“And what happened?” asked Twilight

“She chose my dad, this infuriated both my grandpa and my grandma, so they disowned her and through her out of the house, she actually lived on the streets for 2 days until my dad found her, he had been looking for her all that time, he brought her to meet his family, and married 2 weeks later, due to her intelligence she had actually graduated when she was 15, and had gotten a stable job as a Alchemy professor, Thanks to my dad’s dad as reference of course, and later she and my dad found out i was on the way, and here we are,” Spike finished.

“And what about the other engagement?” asked Twilight

“My mom’s younger sister took her place, she married when she turned 17, and from what I’ve heard and witnessed her husband is really supportive of her, even allowing her to work with him in their company as chief marketing advisor,” Spike said

“That’s nice… wait witnessed?” asked Twilight

“Yeah, he is the owner of Powerhouse departmental store, I’m sure you’ve heard of it,” Spike said

“Heard of it?! It’s everywhere in the country, there are even some in other countries,” Twilight said in surprise

“Yeah… well they wanted to open a new department in the store that revolved around wines and rustic cuisine choices, so they called the best winery on the country, aka my winery, and as a result I had to go for a business meeting where I met them that is one of the investments I told you about, and well, I met them and we sealed an agreement, that was 2 months ago, she didn’t recognize me, but I’m pretty sure she is suspects something, I mean I have my mother’s eyes and many more facial features. While I was there I also gave them some other investment ideas, and from what I’ve heard they’re going very well,” Spike said

“Care to share?” said Twilight

“Only if you can keep them a secret,” Spike said

For the rest of the way Spike told Twilight about all the investments he did, but one in particular caught her attention, and made her understand why Spike didn’t want that information going out to the public.

After another 10 minutes of driving they finally reached their destination, but the cafe had just closed for the night.

This made Spike happy as he didn’t have to lose his head over the annoyingness of the cosplayer girls and dudes.

“Now what are we going to do,” said twilight as she got off her car

“I still have the tracker on my phone… this way quick,” Spike said as he started to run with twilight in tow.

When they stopped running Spike and Twilight saw that they were standing outside Canterlot’s Evergreen park (Called like that due to its connection with the Everfree forest)

Just as Spike was about to check the tracker again, Twilight’s phone beeped, she quickly grabbed it and showed it to Spike.

“Just a friendly reminder that we’ll be waiting for your decision on the matter, good night, Princess,” read Spike

He quickly grabbed his phone and saw that the signal had been replaced with the earlier one, and that it was really close to their position.

Spike quickly hacked it and started to text the stalker

“And good night to you too,”

“Are you messing with me? That’s one more nail in your coffin,”

“Oh no, I really mean it, I wish you a very pleasant night,”

“Why?”

“Cause it’s about to be your last,” said Spike as he and twilight walked up to the hidden figure of the stalker

When the stalker turned around, the first thing he saw were Spike’s flame-ignited eyes, which almost made him shit himself (he did scream like a girl though), then his gaze turned to meet twilight’s eyes and, by stupidity or impulse, he lunged at her

“Ah, ah, Mr. Stalker, not so fast,” said Spike as he moved his hand up making the masked Figure freeze in his place

“What is this? Why can’t I move… and why do I feel like I am burning?” asked the figure as he slowly looked down and saw steam forming what appeared to be lines in his clothes, and exposed skin “WHAT IS THIS?!” he screamed

“Ah, you like it, is one of my abilities, “Fire thread,” it’s almost like a Spider web, the only differences being that my “web” is as hot as lava, and razor sharp, which means 2 things… I can slice you up with just applying pressure on the thread, and 2, and best of all, there would be no blood splatter, brings the whole “Clean cut” thing to a new level, don’t you think?” Spike said as he started to apply pressure on the thread.

“Please don’t kill me,” The figure said, but Spike ignored it as he applied even more pressure

“Spike stop!” screamed Twilight, and he did “We need to know who he is and why he did this,” she finished as she walked towards him and removed the mask.

“Who are you?” asked Twilight

“Exabyte? YOU are behind all this? Really?” said Spike, surprising both Exabyte and Twilight

“How do you know him/me,” both Twilight and and Exabyte at the same time

“Crystal Prep. Computer booth 616,” Spike said

“Spike? Spike Landon? What happened to you, you used to be so small and frail,” Exabyte exclaimed

“Wait, Crystal Prep., My old High School? We were in the same highschool/” asked Twilight

“Yeah, but when you decided to transfer to Canterlot high, the school decided to enroll 2 new students, a girl by the name of Sundust Mist, and a Canterlot high “Defector” Midnight cold…” Spike said

“I’ve heard of him, he was Canterlot’s student council president, and a bit of a tyrant, he was also the best caster in the school,” Twilight said

“Yeah, well, since the school was already full they had to trade him, and… I guess you can add the dots,” Spike said

“You were accepted into Canterlot high,” Twilight finished

“Anyway… I think it’s time to address the “elephant” in the… park, Why did you do it?” asked Spike.

“Believe me, I didn’t want to be a part of this, I was forced,” Exabyte said

“By whom?” asked Twilight

“Midnight Cold, he has turned the school into his one personal kingdom…” Exabyte started

“Before you continue… what’s all this about a boyfriend you have been talking about?” asked Twilight

“Oh, he’s not your boyfriend? I must really be stupid then,” Exabyte said

“Who?” asked Twilight

“A guy called Flash Sentry, I hacked into his account and found a lot of pictures of the two of you or you alone,” Exabyte said

Twilight just froze up and turned red, redder than she has ever been, it was so bad she had to cover her face with her hands to try and hide her embarrassment

Exabyte turned to Spike and said “What’s up with her?”

“Dude, read between the fucking lines, she has had a crush on that full since she moved to Canterlot high, and I’m guessing they are reciprocated,” Spike facepalmed

After 5 minutes Twilight finally left her daydream and composed herself

“Ok, you were saying,” Twilight said

“Midnight cold turned Crystal prep. Into his kingdom, it’s kind of impressive actually, it only took him a month, anyway, as you may presume, I’m not exactly popular, and compared to the other student’s in the school I’m one of, if not, the poorest student there, and well…” Exabyte said

“He offered you money to do this and you needed it,” Spike said

“Yeah, b-but it’s not that simple, he wanted me to do this to get revenge on Flash,” Exabyte said

“Why?” asked Twilight

“For all the vandalism he did to our… his school. Midnight Cold never likes to play by the rules and instead of challenging Flash, he decided to drive him mad slowly, you see, Flash is not stupid, contrary to critical acclaim, he just doesn’t know when to use his brain, that and the fact that he is hot headed and you get the recipe for a time bomb, which is exactly what he wants,” Exabyte finished

“So all this happened because of Flash? That asshole,” Twilight said

“Hey he is YOUR crush, and last time I checked, you were into “Bad Boys,” so suck it up,” Spike said

“So what were you going to do now?” asked Twilight

Exabyte was about to answer when his phone beeped

“Give me your phone,” Spike said

“I need you to let me go first, I can’t move,” Exabyte said

“You’re a unicorn right? Use your magic, and don’t try to do anything funny, or I WILL and you,” Spike threatened

Exabyte was so terrified he almost peed his pants, and quickly used his magic to levitate his phone towards Spike

“The fuck you at? Lover boy is on his way to the meeting place to ‘Settle” this, and why the fuck haven’t you changed back to your real number? Man is your brain that fried from playing video games or were you born like that, regardless, hurry the fuck up,” charming fellow, woulnd’t you agree Twi?” said Spike

“Agreed, so, what are we going to do with him?” asked Twilight

“It’s your call, kill him or free him,” Spike said

Twilight remained quiet for a few minutes and said “Are you sorry, about what you did?”

“I never even wanted to be a part of this,” Exabyte said

“Let him go Spike… and heal him up, we might need him,” Twilight said as she walked back to her car

“Need him for what?” asked Spike, but he just earned a look from Twilight “Oh,” he said

Spike quickly re-absorbed his thread and healed Exabyte with his ability called “Ignis Salutem” and pushed him towards the vehicles

“Where is the meeting place?” asked Spike as he shoved Exabyte against Twilight’s minivan

“Crystal Prep’s parking lot,” Exabyte said

“You taking him?” Spike asked Twilight

“Yeah, I need to have a word with him on the way there,” Twilight said

“Good, I have some phone calls to make,” Spike said as he grabbed his helmet and started his bike

30 MINUTES LATER

Spike, Twilight and Exabyte, finally made it to Crystal Prep. parking lot, but decided to hide their cars in the bushes and walk towards the meeting place, across the soccer, Football, and Baseball fields

They quickly arrived at a small mountain near the parking lot, but it was pitch black

“Can you see anything?” asked Twilight

“No, I don’t get it, we where to meet here,” Exabyte

“Cheeky, there are 4 living forms in that parking lot, plus 2 cars, and 2 of them are holding what appear to be baseball bats,” Spike said

“How can you see?” asked Twilight

“Thermal vision, every dragon has it, mine is just enhanced, so I can see clearly in the dark from very far away… oh there is a car pulling in now,” Spike said as the lights of a Sports car came into the parking lot.

As if on queue, the lights of the other cars turned on, and the people dare moved forwards

Flash came out of his car and walked towards the group

“Exabyte, who are the people in the parking lot right now?” asked Spike

“The one furthest to the left is Muscle head, he is the strongest warrior in our school, and Midnight’s “best friend” and bodyguard, the one next to him is Tatsumaki bureizu (Tornado Blaze), he is a transfer student from Marepan, and Midnight’s personal henchman, he is a pegasus, then we have Ivory Charm, she is, for lack of a cleaner word, the girl he has been fucking since he arrived to this school, and to be honest I’m surprised she isn’t pregant by now…” Exabyte said

“She is his personal Cum Dumb, continue,” Spike said

“The only one that has stayed from his harem, she is the president and captain of the martial arts and boxing club, trust me you don’t want to make her mad, and finally… I think that’s Crimson Bronco, our school's number 2, he is the only a tad weaker than Midnight cold, in both magic and fighting, but I don’t see… oh, there he is, Midnight Cold,” Exabyte said

“Perfect let’s get closer, but not to close,” Twilight said as she crouched closer to the action

“Glad to see you could make it Flash, I was starting to think you wouldn’t show,” Midnight Cold said

“This is what you have become? A petty thug who doesn’t even fight his own battles?” Flash said

“Says the gangster-wannabe that vandalised my… our school without putting up a fight, I don’t think you impressed your little girlfriend,” Midnight said

“You leave her out of this, if a fight is what you want, you get it,” Flash said as he took off his jacket and shirt getting ready to fight

“Ah, I like your enthusiasm, but let’s make this interesting, If I win you become my servant for the rest of your life, and quit school forever,” Midnight said

“And if I win?” Flash said

“That won’t happen,” Midnight said as he charged towards Flash

Flash easily evaded him, but was by muscle head’s fist hitting him in the face, the force of the punch was such that Flash actually flew at least 50 Ft. before managing to stop, when he regained the notion of where he was he noticed Tornado Blaze and Crimson Bronco charging towards him.

All he could do was brace for the hit, which sent him flying towards the wall at the other side of the parking lot.

Flash tried to get out of the crater he had created but Ivory charm ran up to him and punched him several times in the gut, she punched him so many times that he was coughing up blood and could barely stand.

MIdnight Cold just walked up to him slowly and, with his magic, hitted Flash so hard that he went through the thick concrete wall.

Flash just layed there, his whole body hurt or broken, blood coming out of his mouth.

“You know Flash, I’ve been thinking of getting me and my girl here a new fuck toy, I wonder if, what’s her name? Twilight, be up for some “Pleasurable Punishment” with us, oh but don’t worry, I’ll let you watch as I break her mind and turn her into the bitch she really is,” Midnight Cold said as he and the others laughed.

This enraged Flash to a new extreme, his whole body began to shine in a golden fashion, just like when he has his armor on, except that this time, his skin was turning golden, and tough, just like real armor

Flash quickly got up and said “Looks like Round 2,” and punched Midnight cold so hard he actually landed on the soccer field 80 ft away.

Muscle head quickly lunged at Flash but Flash quickly caught both of his fists, Muscle Head tried to free himself but Flash had gotten event stronger than him, after another 3 seconds of the tug of war, Flash turned his wrists and with that broke both of Muscle Head’s arms, then while Muscle Head screamed in pain, Flash quickly kicked him on his right leg, breaking it, and just before he could fall to the ground, Flash did a reverse kick and sent him flying towards the school building, leaving a massive crater as he fell to the floor unconscious.

Flash quickly turned to face the three remaining enemies

Tornado Blaze, then lunged at him, but his aerial strike and his impulsiveness, quickly became his biggest problem, after free falling towards Flash, Flash moved a side and evaded his attack.

Tornado Blaze couldn’t stop on time and his whole left arm ended up stuck in the center of the crater, Flash quickly lunged at him, kicking him so hard that he flew up into the sky, Flash jumped, and quickly caught up to Tornado BLaze’s body, punching him in the gut and send him flying, even faster, towards the ground, leaving a deep crater as he fell unconscious to the ground.

Crimson Bronco followed and attacked Flash with a combination of Magic and Physical attacks, but Flash skillfully avoided them, Crimson didn’t stop the attacks not even a second, but forgot to measure his magicka, which cost him to lose energy fast and subsequently lose his stamina, Flash took this to his advantage and quickly counter strike, and with on punch sent Crimson Bronco flying towards one of the cars, crushing the whole engine and front of the car.

He finally turned to Ivory Charm, she was shaking in fear, and decided to run for her life, but Flash wasn’t going to let that happen.

He jumped up into the air and, using one of his abilities “Justice’s hammer”, punched the ground, making parts of it crack and send other parts of the concrete flying in all directions, when the shock wave finally reached Ivory Charm, it lifted the piece of concrete she has standing on, and sent her flying, back first into the roof of the other car parked there, the impact crushed the ceiling and made her fall to the ground unconscious.

“How the hell did you become so hard?” Midnight said as he stumbled towards him

“No clue, but I like it,” Flash said as he lunged forward and punched Midnight cold in the gut “Looks like you’ll have to search elsewhere for a servant and a fuck toy,” he said as Midnight cold fell to the ground.

Flash then turned and headed to assess the damage to his car, unknown to him, Midnight Cold, refused to lose, and had a cheap trick in his pants

Midnight Cold, got to his feet as fast as he could, and pulled out a gun from his pants, and aimed for Flash’s head.

He was about to pull the trigger when “Ha, if you are this school's best fighter, I must say… I feel sorry for y’all,” Came Spike’s voice as a flash of fire quickly immobilized Midnight cold, making him drop the gun

“Next time… if you’re going to kill someone, at least be a man, and shoot them between the eyes,” Spike said as he walked up to Midnight cold from behind the bushes

“Spike? What the hell, are you doing here?” Flash said

“You welcome, buy the way, and answer you… I’ll let them explain,” Spike said as he walked up to Ivory Charm and healed her.

Flash turned and saw Twilight running towards him “Flash! Are you ok?” asked Twilight as she tackled Flash into a bear hug

“Yeah, I’m fine, what are you doing here?” asked Flash

Twilight explained everything, as Spike healed everyone and Exabyte used his technomancer abilities to fix the damaged cars.

After everyone was healed, including Flash and Midnight cold, Spike finally realized him from his “Fire lasso”, Ivory Charm quickly hugged him to make sure he was ok.

“Well, we’re still waiting for an explanation,” Spike said

Midnight Cold said “He started, he came to our school and vandalised it, costing us almost 1 millions dollars to repair,”

“I know he did, but you must realize that, you, not only forced someone to stalk someone else, but also sent death threats, and even tried to commit murder, luckly for you, it will only pass as assault with a deadly weapon,” Spike said

“What are you going to do to us?” asked Ivory Charm

“It depends,” said Spike

“Depends on what?” asked Tornado Blaze

“Depends on what they say,” Spike said as he motioned to several police cars entering the parking lot

“We’re fucked” said Muscle head

“Twilight?!” came 2 voices that Twilight recognized immediately

“Cadence! Brother! What are you doing here?” she asked

“Spike called us, and explained everything, you’re not hurt are you?” asked Cadence as she gave Twilight a hug

“HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO MY SISTER?!” came Shining’s voice as he walked closer towards his students only to be stopped by Spike

“Now, Shining, don’t do something you will regret,” he said

“Wow, I heard you changed but this is… wow,” Shining said as he looked at Spike

“So, Spike, It appears you won a fight yet again,” came Discord’s voice as he, Celestia and Luna walked up to them, with Deputy Copper behind them

“Nah, I only stopped a vengeance filled idiot from doing something he will regret, the credit most go to Flash,” Spike said

“That is true, But he did cause this commotion, did he not,” said Luna

“Yeah, but he tried to fix it, not the most appropriate way, but he tried,” Spike said

“So, Cadence, what are we gonna do here?” asked Celestia

“To be honest I don’t know,” Cadence said

“Why don’t you give them after school detention, making them fix this mess, with their own hands,” Spike said “You too Flash, you caused this,” he finished

“That’s a great idea, that way no one gets expelled and bring shame to themselves,” Cadence said

“Isn’t Flash also working to fix K-9 High?” asked Luna

“You guys were supposed to finish today,” Spike said

“Yes we did, K-9 High looks even better than when we attacked it,” Flash said

“The come Monday you all are to report here and work, by the looks of it, it will be 240 hours of community service,” Deputy Copper said “It’s that or 5 years in jail,” she finished

Everyone agreed to the community service

“Well looks like our services are no longer required… ok people, let’s go we have a city to patrol,” Deputy Copper said before living in her Patrol car

“I hope this finally teaches you a lesson Flash, next time you might not be so lucky,” Discord said

Flash just nodded

“Good,” Discord said as he walked towards the group of adults to finish negotiating expenses for the materials required

Meanwhile at the other side of the parking lot Spike walked up to Exabyte

“Good work fixing those cars,” Spike said

“Thanks, I’m a Technomancer, I’m good with technology, any type of Technology actually,” Exabyte said

“Good to hear, cause, you see I have Software company and we’re currently lacking capable codejunkies and programmers, so, I called my associate, and we decided to hire you, if you want that is,” Spike said

Exabyte was silent for a few seconds before saying “When do I start?”

“Immediately, I’ll send you the software, and Microchips will send you instruction to work on it form your laptop or home computer,” Spike said

“I don’t have a laptop, I usually use the computers at school,” Exabyte said

“Well then, tomorrow, you and I are going computer hunting,” Spike said as he extended his arm towards Exabyte who quickly shacked it.

“One last question, how much will I earn?” asked Exabyte

“About $2K every 15 days, but you can make more by doing designing your own software or making modifications for the existing one, they must pass our efficiency test before being released though,” Spike said

Exabyte was now crying of happiness

“You know what that means right?” Spike asked

Exabyte shook his head

“It means that you can work at your own pace, from home, and most importantly you don’t have to worry about searching for work after graduating college.
“Thank you, thank you, Boss,” Exabyte said

‘Don’t call me that, you’re not older than me,” Spike said

‘Then what should I call you?” Exabyte asked

“Call me Spike, also, you’re this companies 5th employee, so that kind of makes us equals, kind of,” Spike said “But for now let’s enjoy the show

“Which show?” Exabyte said before Spike turned his face towards Flash and Twilight

“You sure you’re ok?” Twilight asked

“Yeah, I’m fine don’t worry about me,” Flash said

“I can’t, I don’t want anything to happen to you,” Twilight said

“I’m fine seriously,” Flash said

“You fought for me?” Twilight asked

“Yeah, I didn’t want you to suffer for my sins,” Flash said, before he could continue, he was surprised to feel Twilight’s lips on his; after a few seconds he finally gave in and Kissed back.

They kissed for almost a minute non stop, catching everyone’s attention.

“Those that mean?” Flash said as they broke the kiss

“Yes,” Twilight said

“Nice,” Exabryte said

“Yeah… now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go and stop Shining Armor from killing his future brother-in-law… Shining put that sword down, don’t make me,” Spike said as he walked towards him.

After a few minutes of containing Shining Armor, Spike had enough and put him to sleep, earning thanks from everyone there.

Minutes later, everyone left except for Spike, Flash and Twilight

“You know Flash, you never seize to amaze me,” Spike said

“How so?” asked Flash

“You might be a bone head, and jerk, but at least you have a sense of honor in you, you just need prompting to use it, nonetheless, I respect that,” Spike said giving Flash a handshake

‘Say Spike, don’t you think that all of what we went through made us closer, like friends?” asked Twilight

“Yeah,” Spike said

“So what do you say? Friends?” she said

“No,” Spike said

“But I thought,” Twilight said

“I agreed that it brought us closer, I didn't say that we were friends,” Spike said walking away “That doesn’t mean I’m not open to the idea of re-befriending you, sometime in the near future,” Spike finished as he continued walking to his bike.
