Dragonbourne

Spike had met up with The Ringmaster who gave him a few more extra supplies for the next month. He didn't really need it, but it would help get him, and his slave by for the next adventures when he would fight against the demon dragon's. Spike had traveled far to get to the Outland's. It was already pretty far, one would even say it was at the very edge of the map.....and it was. The city was near Equestria's Ocean, and was home to a species of which Spike himself was not familiar with....the Hypogryph's. They were very bird like in nature, but also were like mermaid's with a magical spell that they used underwater.

To Spike this didn't matter, he just wanted the gem. Many of the female Hypogryph's did tried flirting with him, but right now Spike was not interested in bedding these creatures, he was only hear for the gemstone that could give him more power....nothing more. Spike waited for nightfall to catch the robbery that the band of cutthroat's were going to attempt. Actually, these guys weren't really criminal's, but a single, nosey business pony who had almost his own private army of mercenaries. He could pay the mercenaries, but this guy probably had them for a high price.

Spike cared little about hiring them, as he did with bedding the female Hypogryph's, or knowing more about this city. Having only other than himself to worry about with mercenaries would be a waste of his time, not that they could be a threat....either way he needed the stretch. Chrysalis had agreed to stay behind, while also getting pampered with a very interesting spa that could help her....insect body. Spike allowed her to relax, from the rough terrain that they had traversed these past few days.

Spike had gone into the caves that the Hypogryphs usually used to sell things in town, and somewhere in this cave was a Dragonbourne gemstone. Spike was thankful that his demon flames from his body could make him see through the dark, but then again....he had very good vision even if it was pitch black. Spike finally came across the mercenaries, and the business pony. This was easy fodder.

The business pony had a pistol, while the mercenaries were armed with Musket's, knives, or just bo-staff's. This was even easier than the last group, they had better weapon's. A cocky, mischievous smile came across the business pony's face, as they finally got the gem from the wall it was buried in. "Nice one boys, with a gem this size, and all of this....we can easily sell it to the highest bidder, and make my criminal Empire more powerful, ha, I can't believe we snuck into the mine, to steal the quarry's that those pathetic Hypogryphs had"

The business pony laughed, as the other ponies laughed, or just rolled their eyes, only wanting to be paid. Spike quietly transformed into his Dragonbourne form once more, and then used his chameleon power to emerge out of a cave wall nearby. "You know....none of you should ever journey into a cave with such pitiful weapons......ya never know who you might run into" Spike smiled, as the mercenaries drew their weapon's, and pointed it at him, or got into a fighting stance. The business pony looked up, and set the gemstone in a bag, putting it aside.

"So....the rumors are true, the so called "Dragonbourne" has finally come to us, itching for our defeat, plus the boss ain't happy of what you did to his last batch of underling's" The business pony told him, as Spike laughed.

"His last batch of underling's were merely a warm up, if you think bigger number's from last time is a better challenge....it isn't" Spike told them, as the business pony sighed.

"I'd say it's more of a fair fight" The business pony said, as Spike smiled, unsheathing his sword.

"Not really, but if you want a fair fight, how about I give you a sporting chance" Spike said, tossing his sword behind him, which slammed, blade first into the cave floor.

"Boy's......" The business pony snarled, as all of them got their weapon's out.

"None of you can't fight me without a weapon huh......you are all more pathetic than I thought" Spike growled, as the business pony laughed.

"Hahahahahaha, like were going to make it even harder for us, this is more of a fair fight" The business pony said, as Spike let his mini dragon form his huge white, and black Demon dragon wing's as both the tip's of them glowed completely white.

"Actually.....you never stood a chance" Spike snarled. The other with melee weapon's charged in while, the business pony, and musket armed pony mercenaries...opened fire. Spike zoomed forward, and backward destroying their weapon's with ease, using his super speed. After Spike came to a complete stop, all of his opponent's realized their weapon's were destroyed. This didn't stop them, as they each prepared for battle in the form of their fist's, as one of them snarled.

"Come on, there's only one of him, and plenty of us, how is he going to kill us with just fast punches?" The pony bragged, as Spike let out a very, dark chuckle. His wing's disappearing, and his baby dragon fused with where his golden bracelet's that he had on. Spike pulled out his claw's feeling the vein's cracking in his hand's, as all of them looked at Spike with newfound horror. "....Oooohh.....crap" The stallion whimpered. Spike let his super speed kick in, as he became a blur of white, and black....shredding the mercenaries, and even the business pony to bit's.

Huge pool's of blood stained the wall's, the floor, and even Spike's claw's from how much of them he had murdered. Like alway's when it came to these kill's, he was drenched in blood.....but he had gotten used to it. Kill, or be killed....these underdog's deserved death, and if someone said otherwise it didn't matter. He was a demon....and demon's killed. Spike grabbed The Dragonbourne gem which felt warm in his hand, recognizing his power, as he left the bodies behind. Like always he had bathed the blood off him, so that it didn't make him look terrifying, or raise question's.

Spike had one more thing to take care of, as he had grabbed his sword on the way out, and went to find Chrysalis.

*****
Chrysalis sat in the spa, and purred from the warmth that surrounded her entire body. Her master had been so grateful to her, even though she had him do her, as a stress relief in that village.....it didn't really matter to her, as the huge journey that they took to get here was with very rough terrain. It was nice of her to relax, and at least she was able to wear shoe's. Thank's to her master's choices
she really didn't want to imagine her feet be hurting, and blistering. She had required the correct spa treatment's that made her think otherwise.

She was the most happiest Changeling in the world, as her master took her to many places, while helping her feel good, fed her, cared for her, and even treated her when she was sick. Even though he fed himself, she also cared, and treated him from the deadliest of battle's he had from those demon dragon's. He already had a few scar's from them because of their power's. Spike never got wounded on these "job's" that he did, because his enemies were almost alway's powerless against The Dragonbourne, and his abilities.

To think he was only on his first level. Super speed with his sword, Laser arrow's, golden lighting to shoot from his hand's, a baby dragon that gave him a sky super speed attack, and breathed golden fire, as a gauntlet made him deadly. If it wasn't for Chrysalis going to Lioness City to do some thieving which ended in her getting caught, and becoming a slave....this current life wouldn't be her's. For once Chrysalis felt like a true queen....one who didn't need a hive, an invasion plan against a rival Princess Celestia, or even followers that approached her with annoying problem's, or a needed a throne that she would always sit on.

She was happy, free, and running through the wind's, sky, and land's with her Master......Spike The Dragonbourne. A small side of her did not question the killing of the criminal's, or ponies in the underworld's. They were scum, and villany....except for The Ringmaster. Instead of stealing thing's from other's like normal scum....he himself was merely a private businesspony, who could not do his business in Equestria at all because it would be considered illegal. Chrysalis finished washing up, as she got out of the tub, and looked at herself in the mirror.

She let her hand's wonder around her gorgeous naked body, feeling her breast's, and even giving her own rump a good squeeze. Chrysalis liked being a nudist in front of everyone, it showed off her true nature, and she adored every second of it. Chrysalis dried herself off with a towel, and heard from one of the Hypogryph's that her Master entered the spa.....requesting for her. She told the Hypogryph she would meet up with him, but also asked if it could be possible for them to give her a room where only the two of them were allowed to enter, and no one else.

The Hypogryph agreed thinking that both of them were going to make love in that room, and hoped that they would have a good time. It was best for them to think that than what was actually going to happen.

"I wonder what I'll get this time" Spike said, as Draco appeared as the very tip handle of his sword, speaking to him.

"There are many different upgrades that maybe unlocked when you become more powerful than you originally were. The first upgrade gave granted your wing's back, I wonder what the second one will do." Draco asked in wonder, as Spike looked at him oddly.

"Don't you know what evolution I get next?" Spike asked, as Draco looked at him, as if he was trying to shrug, but had no shoulder's.

"I only know the last evolution will give you, and what the abilities they are....I don't know the order you'll get them in" Draco told him, as Spike sighed before looking at the gem in Chrysalis's hand.

"Only one way to find out" Spike smiled, as he got on the soft bed, while Chrysalis sat on his rear. What was interesting was that the last gem was white, but this one was a scarlet color which meant that the gem's that they were searching for, probably came in different, or unique color's. Spike let the gem go through the diamond area on his collar, and layed on his stomach. The gem was sealed into the golden accessory, as it fused within his body. Spike felt a coldness around him, as a strange scarlett liquid traveled down his back, forming the anicent dragon hyroglyphic symbol on his back, while still avoiding the other hyroglyphic tattoo.

The hyroglyphic broke apart into many pieces, and began moving around on his back. Chrysalis began to do her best to decipher the symbol like a puzzle, putting her mind into it more than usual. It was a little tougher to resolve, but eventually she slid it together, forming the number 2. The number changed into the hyroglyphic symbol for the number itself, as it became another tattoo that was now next to other small one on his back. Chrysalis got off him quickly, while Spike growled....feeling the power mutating his body.

This transformation was more painful in his throat, than in the back before his body calmed down. Spike struggled, as he got up with his newfound power. He growled, feeling that he needed to fly in his transformed state to show off the new gem power, as he was starting to transform, but tried to fight it long enough to transform without any of the Hypogryph's knowing. "Chrysalis....get me in a secret place....NOW.....I'm gonna.....RRRAAAAHH......CHANGE!!!!!" He growled painfully, as Chrysalis nodded.

She quickly teleported them to a far place where no one could see him. "There you go master, no one should see you from here" Chrysalis told him, as Spike finally roared, the mini dragon unfusing from the bracelet on his arm, and fused with his back, bringing forth his demon dragon wing's. His collar turned complete scarlet, as it latched onto his feet like hand's, as he rocketed sky high into the air. A huge blank green eyeball appeared on the collar, as it let out a dragon roar mixing with Spike's demon dragon screech, as both of them went into a storm cloud, sucking in bright blue lighting.

In mid air the collar turned into a crimson color dragon armor with a scarlett dragon head shaped, battle helmet that allowed him to magically see his surrounding's as he did without the helmet. It equipped itself on his arm, leg's, and hand's, while his sword morphed into a very strange weapon. Spike slammed into the ground with his newfound power, as he looked down.....seeing himself in his new armor which was light, maneuverable, and not very bulky. "Whoa" Spike realized, as he looked at the armor.

"Master....you look amazing" Chrysalis said astonished, as Spike looked at his transformed sword.

"Draco....why aren't you a sword anymore, and what weapon are you?" Spike asked, as Draco spoke from the very tip of his weapon, now as the blade of the weapon than the handle, while having a tiny dragon tail.

"Ah.....this is better, I was hoping for you to get this transformation, but not this soon" Draco sighed, as Spike looked at him.

"Draco, what is this upgrade?" Spike asked, as Draco smiled.

"This upgrade is the Scarlett armor, it gives you many abilities stacked with the wing's you gained. The weapon you carry is the Dragon Stinger, a weapon combined with a golden electrical ball from you, can counter any demon dragon's powerful attack, or even kill many of your enemies faster than your sword can. You also gain an even more powerful, hotter fire breath with the armor on that allow's you to burn more enemies at once than you could originally do. There's also a move where you can turn the entire armor to a sharper version's of your spine's.

It takes away your wing's, as well to let you shred the demon dragon's like a living chainsaw" Draco explained, as Spike gripped the new weapon, and chuckled. "This feel's....gooood, those Demon dragon's better not bring any more new type's of dragon's, otherwise they are going to get the deadliest taste....of death" Spike snarled with a sinister grin on his face, baring his fang's, while Draco roared along with him in his sharp, stinger weapon form.
