Dragonlord

It has been a week since Spike's grandfather's funeral, and his proposal to Rarity.

At first both them still felt weird about the whole engagement thing, not because they didn't want it, but because they didn't know how their friends would react.

So they decided to keep it a secret, Rarity even had to come up with an excuse for the ring, which didn't really sound too convincing at first.

"It belonged to my grandmother," she said.

At first, they didn't believe her since they knew her grandmother was still alive, luckily Rarity had called ahead of time to tell her the whole thing.

And luckily for the 2 of them, Rarity's grandmother had been an award-winning actress, so she was good at keeping the secret.

But let us get back to the story.

Today was Friday, and once again Spike was sitting at his typical lunch table with his friends, excluding Big Mac, who was MIA for some reason.

"Know where Mac is?" Asked Cheese.

"Neg should be here by now, that dude's favorite subjects are lunch and Gym," said Soarin.

"Come to think of it, where is Granny Smith?" Asked Spike.

"Maybe in a meeting," said Caramel.

Then they noticed Big Mac entering the cafeteria.

"Wassup my dude," said Flash.

"Nothing much, hey Spike can I talk to you for a second?" Said, Big Mac.

"Yeah sure," said Spike as he got up and followed Big mac outside.

"This is for you," Big Mac said, giving Spike an invitation.

"You're invited to this year’s Apple Family reunion, to happen Saturday, June 17, do not be tardy," that's tomorrow," said Spike.

"Yup," said Big Mac.

"I'll be there, it's time I start thanking Granny Smith for everything she's done for me," said Spike.

"Well, that's not the reason why you're invited," said Big Mac.

"So then, why?" Asked Spike.

"Remember that I told you that Granny Smith sees my dad in you?" Said, Big Mac.

"Yeah," said Spike.

"Well, you're to become an honorary Apple," said Bid Mac.

“Excuse Me?” said Spike.

“Yup, it’s been decided, you are to arrive tomorrow at 7 AM to be presented to the family,” said Big Mac.

Spike just remained silent.

“Do you not like it?” asked Big Mac.

“No...No, I’m honored, I just doubt that all of the Apple family will come all the way here just for me,” said Spike

“As observant as usual, you’re right tomorrow we’re celebrating 3 things, but I won’t tell you about them until tomorrow, deal?” said Big Mac.

“Deal,” said Spike as the 2 friends shook hands, then Spike noticed Fluttershy walking towards the 2 of them in a very, seductive way, she was even wearing some very seductive clothes that accentuated her assets.

“Hi Spike,” she said as she walked by swaying her hips.

“Hey,” Spike said as she walked by with a fake smile.

“What was that about?” asked Big Mac

“No clue,” said Spike as he and Big Mac followed Fluttershy with their gazes until she finally sat down on the same table as usual “But, I think I have an idea,” said Spike as he walked towards the table.

“So, how do you feel, Shy? I mean, you completely changed your image this past week,” said Applejack.

“Yeah, I was really surprised when you came to me for fashion and love advice, but I do have to admit, I kind of like this new you, except for the tight clothes,” said Rarity.

“I’m with Rarity in this, I like you being more upfront with your feelings and even being braver, but your clothes aren’t exactly… appropriate,” said Twilight.

“I just want him to notice me,” said Fluttershy.

“WHO?” everyone asked.

“More importantly, what makes you think that “he” is interested in a girl that dresses like this,” said Rainbow Dash.

“What do you mean?” asked Fluttershy.

“Well, I know that Soarin is kind of a horn dog, but he still wouldn’t like me to dress up like this,” said Rainbow Dash

“Yeah, this just screams, “Hey, look I’m easy and desperate for attention,” it doesn’t suit you, or anyone in that matter,” said Sunset.

Just then Fluttershy noticed Spike walking towards them, and she quickly composed herself to try and get his attention.

“Hi, girls,” said Spike

“Hey, Spike,” they all said

“Is there something you need,” said Fluttershy, acting a bit like Rarity when she flirts with people.

‘Yeah, as a matter of fact, mind if I borrow her for a second? Thank you,” Spike said as he took Rarity’s hand, helped her up like a gentleman, and hurried away.

This made Fluttershy a bit sad and she just rested her head on the table.

At that second the girls remembered the conversation they had with Zephyr

“Group huddle,” whispered Starlight

“So, all this time Shy has been trying to copy Rarity,” said Twilight

“Yeah, she even placed her own twist on her typical seductioning,” said Pinkie

“By the way, am I the only person that thinks that Rarity and Spike have gotten close this past couple of weeks?” asked Twilight.

“Now that you mention it, they do seem to hang out quite a bit, yet I don’t see anything wrong with it,” said Sunset as the girls broke the huddle.

“A better relationship, always hanging out, the ring… something is up,” thought Twilight; unknown to her, she wasn’t the only one adding the dots.

IN THE HALLWAYS

“Did you need something, Darling?” asked Rarity

“Yeah, I would like to know… were you the one to put these fashion ideas on Fluttershy’s brain?” asked Spike.

“Well, she did come to me for Fashion, makeup, and assertiveness advice, but, I’m as shocked as you are with her fashion,” Rarity said

“Well, that explains a few things, just do me… no, do HER a favor and change her back to normal with her clothes situation,” said Spike

“Why, does it make you feel uncomfortable?” asked Rarity with an arched eyebrow

“NO! I mean, no, I just can’t take her seriously dressed like that,” said Spike

“So if I were to dress up like that… would it put you in the same position?” asked Rarity

“Rares, I love you, but I don’t know if I could control myself if I were to see you dressed like that,” said Spike.

“Well,” said Rarity as she got close to Spike’s ear “I’d like to see you lose control,” she whispered into his ear.

Then without warning, Spike pressed his lips against her, and a full-blown make-out session started.

MINUTES LATER

“Was that a demonstration?” asked Rarity “Because I’d prefer a more… hands-on one,” she said suggestively moving her hand down Spike’s chest towards his crotch

“Can we at least wait for until we have graduated to have children,” said Spike

“Meanie,” said Rarity

“Also, I will be unavailable tomorrow,” said Spike

‘Why’s that?” asked Rarity

“I’m to be an honorary Apple,” said Spike

“ARE YOU MARRYING APPLEJACK TOO!” asked Rarity

“WHAT?!” said Spike

“Applejack told me that the only way to become an honorary Apple is to marry someone in the family or…” started Rarity

“Or be accepted by the Apple council, which is most likely what happened,” said Spike

“You sure?” said Rarity as she looked at Spike

“Yeah, plus, not to say that I’m not hot and handsome, but, I don’t think I’m Applejack’s type, plus I think she has the hots for Caramel,” said Spike

“Yeah, guess you’re right, you might be the sexiest man alive, but… you’re my sexiest man alive,” said Rarity

“And you’re my sexiest girl alive,” said Spike as he and Rarity kissed once again.

“I love you,” said Rarity

“Love you too M’lady,” said Spike as the 2 of them walked back to the cafeteria.

“I wonder how our babies would look,” said Rarity happily.

“Can we drop the baby subject for a while,” said Spike in a nervous tone.

“Ok, I’ll stop… talking about it, but I promised nothing when it comes to fantasizing,” said Rarity as she looked at her belly “Wonder when we’ll have our first time?”

THAT NIGHT ON SWEET APPLE ACRES

A hooded figure is in the middle of the fields digging a hole.

“And done, with this in place, they will have no choice but to sell me this land, if they survive that is, HAHAHAHAHAHA,” said the figure.

“WHO’S THERE!?” said Big Mac as he walked towards the voice.

The hooded figure just started to run as fast as it could.

“STOP RIGHT THERE!” said Big Mac as he gave chase.

Big Mac chased the figure for almost a mile until they reached the foot of the mountains and a dead end.

“End of the line creep, now, who’s under the hood?’ said Mac getting closer

“You’ll never know,” said the figure as he took out a bottle containing a blue liquid and smashing on the floor creating a massive blue cloud.

When the cloud dissipated there was no one there.

“What the hell was that? I must inform Granny Smith… yet again she’s a deep sleeper, I’ll tell her tomorrow,” said Big Mac as he walked away towards the barn.

THE NEXT MORNING

The next morning a motorcycle could be heard closing in on the farm, this caught everyone’s attention.

They hurried outside just as the motorcycle came to a stop near the barn.

“Morning,” said Spike as he removed his helmet

“Good Morning Spike, glad to see you could make it,” said Big Mac

“Yeah, I was kind of anxious about this but, It’s a great honor for me,” said Spike

“Good to hear Sonny, now please follow me,” said Granny Smith

Granny Smith and Spike walked through the farm, Spike couldn’t help but notice that there were a lot of people there.

“Don’t feel shy deary, this isn’t even all of our family,” said Granny Smith

“And where are they?” asked Spike.

As if on queue, a massive wave of cars, trucks, SUVs, and busses arrived all at the same time.

“There they are,” said Granny Smith.

Granny Smith and Spike then arrived at a closed down orchard, Granny Smith then proceeded to unlock it and then opened the gate for everyone to enter.

Spike was confused at first but then he noticed that there were a lot of trees, some young others really old.

“These trees represent every member of our family, dead or alive, present here or absent,” said Granny Smith as she gave Spike a seed, “This seed represents you, your life, and your spirit,” she continued as she motioned Spike towards a shovel.

Spike took the shovel and started to dig.

“He’s a natural at this,” thought Granny Smith as she saw Spike dig the hole, after a few seconds Spike placed the seed in the hole and covered it.

“As of this moment forward, you Spike Ladon, are now an honorary Apple, Welcome to the family!” said Granny Smith as she gave Spike a hug while the rest of the crowd cheered.

‘Thank you all, this is a massive honor, to think that one day I’d had a family this big, thank you,” said Spike as there were more cheers and hat tossings.

“Ok everyone, save some of that energy for the rest of the day,” said Granny Smith as she walked away followed by the rest of the members of the Apple family.

Spike was about to follow when he noticed something with the corner of his eyes, he walked towards a small altar near 2 of the trees.

“Bright Mac and Pear Butter,” said Spike

“Hey Spike,” said Big Mac as he walked towards Spike, but stopped when he noticed where Spike was.

“I take it this are your parent's,” said Spike

“Yeah, I assume…” said Big Mac

“They didn’t die today did they?” asked Spike

“No, they both died in the 982 crash,” said Big Mac

“The airplane crash from 3 years ago,” said Spike

“You know of it?” asked Big Mac

“It was in the news,” said Spike.

Big Mac was about to buy the excuse but then he noticed something in his tone “How do you know of it?” asked Mac

Spike knew he was cornered so he gave in “I witnessed the plane crash… I was 2 miles away from the impact zone,” said Spike.

“Oh, well we have another thing in common,” said Big Mac

“The fact that the 2 of us don’t have parents, due to circumstances,” said Spike

“And that we’re now part of the same family,” said Big Mac

“By the way, what are you celebrating today?” asked Spike

“My engagement,” said Big Mac

Spike looked at Big Mac in surprise, “She said yes?” he said

“Yup, she is a firm believer in second chances,” said Big Mac

“Uff, glad to know, I thought that we had blown your chance with the failed proposal idea,” said Spike

“She was upset, but in the end, I asked her again and she said yes,” said Big Mac.

“I still think there is more to it,” said Spike

“Well, my father did propose to my mother today, so maybe that also counts… no, we’re celebrating love in general,” said Big Mac

“I don’t get it,” said Spike

“Well, Granny Smith is also celebrating AJ’s and my relationship,” said Caramel as he walked towards them.

“Caramel!? What are you… Oh-,” said Spike

“Yup, I’m AJ’s plus one,” said Caramel

“And I’m also here,” said Pinkie as she popped out from behind a tree scary the three friends

“Oh yeah, I forgot you told me that you guys were related,” said Spike

“Yeah- hey Spike, I have a question,” said Pinkie

“What?” asked Spike

“Are you and Rarity in a relationship?” said Pinkie

This made Spike turn pail, go silent, and start to sweat.

“Your reaction tells me yes,” said AJ coming out of nowhere

“AJ, you scared us,” said Big Mac

“Ain’t that your job,” said AJ as she looked at Spike

“I know I’m ugly, but, ouch,” said Spike

“SO you and Rarity are a couple,” said AJ

“What gave it away?” asked Spike feeling defeated

“The fact that all of a sudden Rarity, who always fantasized about you in secret is now hanging out with you almost every day, the fact that she has your picture as her screen saver…” said Applejack

“She ain’t the only one,” whispered Pinkie Pie

“What?” said AJ

“Nothing,” said Pinkie

“And most importantly… The ring, yeah, the story and Rarity’s acting were superb, but she isn’t a good liar,” said AJ.

“Ok fine, please don’t tell granny Smith,” said Spike

‘Tell me what, Deary,” said Granny Smith as she walked up scaring everyone, causing both Spike and Caramel to run into 2 separate trees knocking all of the apples off.

“That’s a new record Granny,” said AJ

“Thank you,” said Granny Smith

“Granny Smith, something wrong?” asked Spike

“Oh, no, Deary, just came to give you your own Stetson Hat,” She said, handing Spike a Black Stetson.

“Thanks,” Spike said as he got up from the ground and put the hat on

“Now you’re really an Apple, now come along, the party is starting,” said Granny Smith as she walked away followed by everyone.

When they got back to the main orchard, Spike was amazed at all of the ongoing activities

“Right there, we have the Apple Pie eating contest, where Apple Specter is still the winner and record holder with 40 Pies, I’m surprised he’s so skinny after that,” said Granny Smith

“Next we have the Motocross races, they will begin shortly, followed by rodeo, and bull running, then we have the beauty pageant, and everyone's favorite, the apple bucking challenge” she continued as she showed Spike all of the activities

“Finally we have our famous Cider drinking tournament, the record holder is actually your Friend Rainbow Dash with 36 jugs, that’s even more than Big Mac who’s record is 30 and Fluffy Blossom with 26,” said Granny Smith

"Cool," said Spike

"Wanna try some? Asked Granny Smith giving Spike a bottle of cider

Spike looked at it and then back at Granny Smith.

"Oh don't worry, this one is none alcoholic," she said

Spike took the bottle and took a small sip and before they could ask if he liked it, he chugged down the rest of the bottle.

"Ha, you drink like a real Apple, you make me proud," said Granny Smith

"This is amazing, why isn't this in the supermarkets?" Asked Spike

"Well, I'm to meet the president of the Ladon Breweries tomorrow," said Granny Smith.

"At what time?" Asked Spike

"First light," said Granny Smith

"Well cancel that appointment," said Spike

"Why," asked Granny Smith

Spike just held up a finger and made a phone call "Hello, yes, Tempest, mind if you email me one of the partnership contracts… by email… right away please… Thank you," said Spike

"What just happened?" Asked Granny Smith

"Why wait until tomorrow, when you can sign it right now," said Spike

"I don't get it," said Granny Smith

"Oh, I'm the owner of Ladon Breweries," said Spike

"WHAT?!!!!!!" said Granny Smith

"Yup, my name is Spike Ladon," said Spike

"Wow, that was unexpected," said Granny Smith

"Yup, it surprised all of us when we found out," said AJ

"You knew, and didn't tell me?," said Granny Smith

"We didn't think it was necessary," said AJ

"Well why don't we go and sign the papers and have another reason to celebrate," said Spike

"Right, if you're so kind to follow me," said Granny Smith as she headed to the house.

Spike and the rest of the gang followed her

"By the way, what's that smell?" Asked Spike

"What smell?" Asked Big Mac

"It smells like sulfur and rotten flesh," said Spike

"Oh, must be the new fertilizer, we're kind of used to this smells so maybe that's why it doesn't bother us,' said Big Mac

"If you say so," said Spike as they got to the house.

30 MINUTES LATER

"It's a pleasure doing business with you," said Spike

"Likewise, said Granny Smith as they shook hands.

"So what do you want to do now?" Asked Caramel

Spike looked around and noticed a board with a to-do list "this," he said as he grabbed it

"Really? But it's a party" said Granny Smith

"Well to be honest, I kind of missed working on the farm, you know since Rarity's farm girl act," said Spike

"Well, I certainly don't mind, but make sure to finish before the talent show," said Granny Smith

"Talent show?" Asked Spike

"Yeah, our family loves to have a little friendly talent show, especially when it comes to music," said AJ

"Oh yes, I would love to hear you sing those beautiful songs you composed," said Granny Smith

Spike was a bit confused, he knew that his and Mac's and Caramel's identities as members of Dragonknight were out, still, he didn't know which songs she was talking about.

Then a memory came back to him and he turned to face Big Mac

"I thought you were going to erase those songs," he said

"I did, I even made sure… the cloud! I forgot to erase them from the cloud," said Big Mac

"And there is where Applebloom found them and showed them to me," said Granny Smith.

"Come on Spike, I'll be fun," said AJ

"Ok, I'll sing," said Spike

"Alright then, I'll see you around, don't be tardy," said Granny Smith as she headed to the orchard to see the events.

1 HOUR LATER

Spike has been carrying crates left and right, non-stop, his arms, legs, and back were killing him, but he was on his last batch of crates from completing the chores.

“Ok… these are the last ones,” said Spike as he neared the Barn.

“My… you’re mighty strong aren’t you cowboy,” said a female voice

Spike turned and saw Applebloom and Babs Seed.

“Applebloom, Babs Seed, how long have you been following me?” asked Spike

“For a while,” said Applebloom

“Since you started working actually,” said Babs Seed

“What is it with girls stalking me, first Twilight, then Rarity, and now these two,” said Spike

After a few more seconds Spike made it to the Barn, he was covered in sweat and tired, he even had to take off his shirt showing his toned muscular body.

Without warning both Applebloom and Babs Seed wrapped their bodies around Spike’s arms, surprising him.

“I just love a man who ain’t afraid of some manual labor,” said Applebloom

“My… you’ve got some big muscles, I like big muscles on a guy,” said Babs Seed

“Back off, Babs, I saw him first,” said Applebloom getting in her face

“Yeah, well, make me, miss Washboard,” said Babs

“My boobs may not be as big as yours but I’m not flat, I’m a B cup,” said Applebloom

“And Spike here likes them big,” said Babs Seed.

This was the last straw for Applebloom who tackled Babs to the ground as they started a tickle fight.

Spike quietly walked away.

“So, I take it Applebloom and Babs have it in for you,” said AJ

“AJ! Before you say anything…” said Spike

“I know, you have no intention on dating them,” said AJ

“Yeah, I’m 18, they’re 14,” said Spike

“And already losing the battle against hormones,” said AJ

“Anyway, I’m leaving them to you,” said Spike

“Don’t worry sugarcube, I’ll handle em,” said AJ as she grabbed her lasso and made a scary face.

MINUTES LATER

“What do you mean you can’t drum?!” said Caramel

“I busted My arm during the rodeo, I can only sing but it hurts to move,” said Braeburn

“Oh, just great now what are we going to do?” said Caramel

“What’s going on?” asked AJ as she walked up to them

“Braeburn busted his arm,” said Big Mac

“What Braeburn, are you ok?” asked AJ

“Yeah, it’s just a muscle Spasm, hurt like hell when I move my arm though,” said Braeburn

“Aren’t we about to go out on stage?” said AJ

“Yup,” said Big Mac

“Great we need a Drummer and Pinkie won’t be here until the cross country race is over,” said Caramel.

“Who else do we know can play the drums and isn’t already taken by another group?” said AJ as everyone started to think.

Just then Spike past by whistling, catching their attention

“Bingo!” they all said as Big Mac grabbed a pair of headphones walked up behind him and slammed them on Spike’s head surprising him.

“Bro, what the fuck!?” said Spike

“Can you play this on the drums?” asked Big Mac

“Easily, why…” said Spike as Big Mac picked him up and carried him on stage

“We need you to play with us, please,” said AJ using her Puppy dog eyes

“You only had to say please,” said Spike as he grabbed the drums sticks and sat down on the drums.

“Sorry,” said Big Mac as he grabbed his guitar

“Ok, ready?” asked AppleJack as she plugged her Bass guitar in and the curtains opened

"Nice, now, What about something a bit more... Mellow?" said Applejack as she walked up to the microphone, while Braeburn left the stage

Everyone cheered and clapped as the curtain closed.

“Woohoo, that was fun wasn’t it Spike,” said Caramel

“Yeah, well, now I’m out of here,” said Spike as he got up, but he was stopped by Pinkie Pie

“Wow, Spike, I knew you could play, but it was really good, not as good as me though,” she said

“Yeah, that’s cause, my boy Spike, is best on the guitar,” Big Mac said as he gave Spike his guitar and he grabbed his banjo.

“Ok, take 3,” said Caramel

“Take 3 of what?” asked Spike

“Oh, Ma bad, I meant song 3,” said Caramel as he grabbed the microphone as Big Mac, once again gave Spike some headphones.

The crowd went crazy when both Applejack and Caramel kissed at the end of the song and the curtains closed.

“Hey save some of that for after the graduation,” said Big Mac

This made the 2 of them stop and turn red

“It’s too late, for you guys to feel ashamed,” said Spike

“Oh, but they looked just so cute,” said Pinkie

“By the way AJ, what did you do with Applebloom and Babs Seed?” asked Spike

“Oh, nothing much, I just left them hanging,” said AJ

BACK AT THE BARN

Applebloom and Babs Seed were doing their best to free themselves from the ropes.

“AJ, please let us go, I promise that I’d leave Spike alone… At least for the rest of the day, plus I have to go Pee,” said Applebloom.

“Applebloom, can you please stop moving, you’re touching me there,” said Babs Seed in a very seductive tone.

“Don’t tell me you’re enjoying this?!” said Applebloom.

“I don’t like it, but it doesn't feel so bad,” said Babs in a pervy tone

“Ok then Spike, we’re up in 30 minutes,” said Big Mac

“Up for what?” asked Spike

“For our Duo, and then your 2 songs,” said Big Mac

“But I didn’t write… you wrote my name in the list didn’t you?” said Spike

“Yup,” said Big Mac proudly

“Now, I’ll go get my other guitar,” said Big Mac as he left

“Well, I’m gonna go eat some pie,” said Pinkie

“I’m gonna go and walk around,” said Caramel

“Imma go and drink something,” said AJ as she headed towards the barn

“And I’m gonna stay right here, questioning my choices in life,” said Spike in a sarcastic tone as he sat down.

Unknown to all of them near the farm inside the forest a large group of shadows crept near and nearer to the entrance of the farm, waiting for the sun to go down.

30 MINUTES LATER

“Ready Spike?” asked Big Mac

“Sure, let’s get this over with,” said Spike as the curtain opened

“Woohoo, that’s my fiance,” said a girl on the front line

“Thanks, babe,” said Big Mac as the curtain closed

“So when’s the wedding?” asked Spike

“Right after Graduation,” said Big Mac

“Nice,” said Spike

“So Spike, now you have to wait for a bit before your songs,” said Big Mac

“Yeah, but I still don’t think it’s a good idea that I sing those songs,” said Spike as they both walked away towards the barn

“What do you mean?” asked Big Mac

“Well, these songs aren’t particularly cheery,” said Spike

“And you don’t want to offend anyone with them?” said Big Mac

Spike nodded

“Well, if Granny Smith likes them, and she approved of them, then it’s fine,” said Big mac

“Still I don’t think it’s…” Spike began but stopped when he heard something

“What is it?” asked Big Mac before Spike motioned him to be quiet

Spike and Big Mac then walked slowly and quietly near the back of the barn.

They slowly peered around the corner and were met with quite the scene.

“Oh, yes, please, don’t you dare stop Caramel!” said AJ panting as her womanhood was being rammed by Caramel’s dick

“Wasn’t… planning to,” said Caramel between pants as he smacked AJ’s butt cheeks

“Oh, you naughty boy,” said AJ

“Oh, stop it, I know damn well that you like this, be honest for once,” he said

“Alright, I admit it… I love sex, I love doing outside, and I love you and your dick,” said Applejack

After saying this Caramel thrusts even harder

“Applejack, I’m about to…” said Caramel

“Do it, stuff my corn hole,” said AJ

“Applejack!!!!” exclaimed Caramel

“Caramel!!!” exclaimed Applejack

Before all of this, Spike and Big Mac had left the area to avoid getting caught by the 2 love birds.

“Well, that was… interesting,” said Big Mac

“I need bleach,” said Spike

“What for?” asked Big Mac

“You never understand my comedy do you?” said Spike

“Nope,” said Big Mac

Spike and Big Mac, continued to walk when they finally realized that it was time for Spike to go on stage.

When they finally made it back, they noticed that everyone was there, Pinkie and her family, Granny Smith, Big Mac’s fiance Sugar Belle who sat down next to her, Applebloom and Babs Seed plus many other kids and family member, even Applejack and Caramel were there, which surprised him, since he had seen their little romantic adventure about 10 minutes ago.

Spike then looked down and saw Granny Smith giving him in a thumbs-up, and then he started to play

The whole crowd erupted in applause and cheers for the teens as they walked off stage.

“Well done Sonny, And as you can see, everyone loved the songs,” said Granny Smith

“Thanks, Granny Smith, it was better…” Spike said before a loud HOWL was heard

Everyone turned and saw a massive group of Timberwolves charging towards them

“TIMBERWOLVES!” screamed Granny Smith

“Everyone, head towards the barn,” said Spike as everyone started to run towards it

Luckily the Timberwolves were still far away giving everyone the time to get into the Barn.

“Who here can use protection magic?” asked Spike as many unicorns razed their arms

“Ok, start chanting,” said Spike as he headed outside followed by Big Mac, Caramel, Applejack and Pinkie Pie

“Spike, where are you going?” asked Big Mac

“Wolf hunting,” said Spike as his arms ignited into flames

“Then I’m going with you,” said Big Mac as he punched the ground covering his arms in rocks.

“Me too,” said Caramel as he summoned his rifles

“We’re going too,” said Applejack

“NO! You’re our last line of defense, if those Wolves kill us or get past us you, obliterate them” said Spike as he ran towards the big pack of wolves followed by Big Mac.

Caramel was about to run when Applejack grabbed his arm catching his attention

“Don’t you dare die on me, ok,” said Applejack, giving him a kiss on the lips.

"Don't plan to, I promised to repay your love ten times didn't I," said Caramel as he ran off

Oh-, may I be the Godmother?" Said Pinkie making Applejack turn red.

METERS AWAY ON THE FIELD

"Alright Romeos, I doubt that any of you want to die before the honeymoon, so, have no mercy on this beasts," said Spike as he attacked one of the wolves

"Damn right, I ain't planning to die, especially with my new responsibilities," said Big Mac

"This is gonna be fun," said Caramel as he opened fire.

BACK AT THE BARN

"Has anyone seen Big Mac?" Asked Sugar Belle

But no one answered

"Now that you mention it, Where are Spike, Big Macintosh, and the rest?" Asked Granny Smith.

"I see them, they're fighting the Timberwolves," said Applebloom

"WHAT?!" they all said looking out the windows.

They saw the three teens bravely fighting and standing Their ground against the wolves.

Just then they noticed that Big Mac was having trouble with his lot of wolves, even worse, he was completely overwhelmed allowing one of the wolves to flank him, and pounce at his back.

"Mac behind you," screamed both Sugar Belle and Caramel at the same time.

This caught Big Mac's attention who turned but didn't have much space left to dodge the attack.

All he could do was close his eyes, but before he accepted his fate he heard the wolf cry in pain, he opened his eyes to see the wolf on the floor his chest impaled by a large fire arrow

"Don't worry, I have your back Mac," said Spike as he attacked another wolf.

"Thanks, man," said Mac as he lunged at the rest of the wolves near him.

The bloody battle continued for almost an hour.

Spike and the guys were getting exhausted, this allowed many wolves to run past them just to be obliterated by Pinkie's canons or Applejack's guns.

"Spike, we have to end this, we won't last much longer!" Said Caramel

"I agree, but how?" Asked Spike

"Over there, that's their leader," Mac said as he pointed at an old looking wolf

"Alright, we have to get near it, but first we must clean this area," Spike said looking at the 2 of them "thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Death squad final move?" They both said at the same time

"Precisely," said Spike as he grabbed both of them and lifted them off the ground with his wings.

"ULTRA CANON!" they screamed as they combined their attacks to create a massive meteorite looking object, as soon as it touched the ground it exploded killing everything in its radius.

As soon as they landed, Spike noticed that the wolves were trying to regroup themselves.

"Oh no, I won't let you," said Spike as he ran towards the leader.

When he finally came close to the leader, this one tried to defend himself against Spike and attacked Spike.

But Spike, using his agility and strength stopped the wolf.

"It's time for you to learn a new trick," he said as he continued to fight with the wolf holding his jaw

"DIE!" said Spike in a guttural voice as he used his strength to rip the wolf's head in half, spraying its blood on him.

"Who's next?"Asked Spike as he looked at the rest of the wolves which decided to run away.

“Whimps,” said Spike as he looked down to the severed head of the Timberwolves’ leader in his hands “Who said that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks,” he said dropping it.

“Spike, you ok man?” asked Caramel

“Yeah, I’m fine,” said Spike

“Let’s head back, I assume that everyone must be worried,” said Big Mac as they all walked back.

BACK AT THE BARN

“Do you see them?” asked Sugar Belle

“No, and I’m starting to get worried,” said Pinkie

“Caramel, please be ok,” prayed Applejack

“There, I see them,” said Applebloom

Everyone then came out of the barn and ran up to them, when they caught up to them they were surprised to see the condition the guys were in.

“Are you kids ok?” asked Granny Smith as Applejack and Sugar Belle tackled Big Mac and Caramel into a massive bear hug, causing them to fall to the ground.

“We’re fine Granny Smith, thanks,” said Spike

“BS, you’re covered in blood!” said Granny Smith

“It ain’t his blood, Granny,” said Big Mac

“The who’s…” said Granny Smith as she added up the dots.

“Well, Thank God you’re all ok,” said another man

“Yeah, but what were all these Timberwolves doing all the way here?” asked a girl

“You think they were migrating?” asked Babs Seed

“They aren’t birds, Babs,” said Applebloom

“I think I know what brought them here,” said Spike, making everyone land their attention on him. “Follow me,” he said walking off

A FEW MINUTES LATER

“Remember that when I got here I asked about a strange smell,” said Spike as he came to a halt

Everyone nodded

“Well, I think I just found the culprit,” said Spike as he punched a hole in the ground and pulled out a beautiful looking flower

“What’s that?” asked Applebloom

“It’s Devil’s root,” said Spike

“Devil’s Root! In my property!? That’s impossible!” said Granny Smith

“She’s right, Devil’s root only grows in the deepest parts of the Everfree forest, not to mention it’s suicide to go and get this, plus the flower would possibly die before getting here,” said Spike

“So, what are you saying?” asked Caramel

“He’s saying that this plant, or version of it, isn’t naturally grown,” said Big Mac

“Exactly, someone tried to grow this flowers in their own backyard, but it must have failed,” said Spike

“Because they need darkness and a lot of nutrients to grow, right?” asked Caramel

“Yeah, my guess is that someone paid somebody else to grow them, or at least, create a variation with even deadlier abilities,” said Spike

“Well, that would explain the Timberwolves, they love devil’s root,” said Applejack

“Yeah, but I’ve never seen so many, just by looking at the corpses scattered all over the place, I have to say that not all these wolves lived in the forest nearby,” said Braeburn

“So you mean… someone, brought them here from afar?” said Babs seed

“It’s a possibility,” said Braeburn

“Well, one thing is certain,” said Big Mac

“And what’s that?” asked Granny Smith

“Whoever did this has 2 things, Money, and more importantly, a motive,” said Spike

“The figure,” said Big Mac

“What figure?” asked Granny Smith

“Last night, when I was doing my final round, I spotted a hooded figure in the orchard near here, I tried to stop it, even chasing it to Deadman’s drop, but he used some sort of position and disappeared,” said Big Mac

“Well, that’s a lead,” said Caramel

“I doubt that it was only the one flower, there must be more,” said Spike

“We’ll look for them,” said Braeburn

“Let us help,” said Caramel

“Oh, no,” said Granny Smith “The three of yous, gonna go and take a shower… Sugar Belle, Applejack, Pinkie, help them with the laundry, please, thank you,” said Granny Smith

“Yes, ma’am,” they said as they dragged them away back to the house

“Granny Smith, who do you think was behind this?” asked Braeburn

“I don’t know sonny, but we will investigate this, I will not tolerate anyone harming my family nor my land,” said Granny Smith

“Braeburn, don’t even think of applying any pressure in your injury!” said Little Strongheart

“Oh, come one!” said Braeburn

“Stop trying to look cool in front of the kids,” she said

“Ok,” he said defeated as he got up from the ground.

IN A CLIFF OVERLOOKING SWEET APPLE ACRES

“Dammit, all that money thrown to the garbage; I must rethink my strategy, especially with those damn kids being there… but what should I do? Well, It doesn’t matter, Sweet Apple Acres will be mine, I don’t care if I first have to kill those three, HAHAHAHAHA,” said the figure.
