Dragonbourne
#2 Birth of the Dragonbourne
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSpike had cried himself to sleep, still very hurt, and in pain from being rejected by Rarity. Even, as he, and Twilight Sparkle were asleep, certain event's were happening that they weren't aware of. The ancient sword that Twilight was trying so hard to study, soon realized that Spike was what it had been searching for all this time. Finally, the son of a powerful demon, and of a very beautiful, and powerful dragoness....with her own dragon magic had finally been located. The key to destroying the evil Demon dragon clan's that brought great death, and misery to all the land's.
This was the hero, this was the criminal, a former shadow of his true birthright, waiting to unleash it's power, and vanquish the evil that had been given life. This.....was.....The Dragonbourne, and this sword was a weapon crafted, by the scale of Splitface, mixed with the power of an ancient chameleon with a spirit inside to guide The Dragonbourne to victory. The sword had saved all of it's power....just for Spike, now pulsing with a beautiful white glow, and speaking telepathically to Spike. "Spike.......Spiiiiiikkkkeeee" The sword sang, as Spike the dragon began to stir upstair's. Twilight Sparkle finally woke up from the sword pulsing with bright white light, as she watched with a gasp in her voice, immedietly getting her notes, trying to figure out what the sword was trying to do. "Spike.....FIND ME!!!!!!!" The voice spoke in Spike's head, jerking him awake.
Spike could hear the voice calling to him, as he proceeded downstair's, and stood far away, just out of the sword's reach. Twilight Sparkle saw Spike, as she looked at him with suprise. "Spike, are you ok, did you come down to see the sword?" Twilight Sparkle asked.
"....." Twilight Sparkle looked at Spike, who wasn't speaking at all.
"Spike....are you ok?" Twilight Sparkle asked again, as Spike moved toward the white sword. The sword itself glowed, as it began humming, while shaking completely, as Spike stood a few feet in front of it. Twilight Sparkle, watched in awe, as she saw Spike's right hand glowing with the same white glow, as the sword. "Is....this.....a dragon's sword?" Twilight Sparkle realized, as the sword immediately went into Spike's palm, and glowed with power, becoming energized, while the blade itself becoming alive....one of the sharpest sword's ever made.
The sword immedietly glowed white, as Spike was hit with a whirlwind of vision's of himself in many battle's, him fighting, or being thrashed around, all of these vision's coming from the future.
The sword stopped glowing, as it knocked him back, while Spike crashed into the ground, as Twilight Sparkle ran over to help him up. "SPIKE, SPIKE, SPIKE.....ARE YOU OK!?!?!?!?!?" Twilight Sparkle cried, as Spike groaned, his body getting sweaty.
"I don't know Twilight.....I can't....I can't let go of the sword.....AAAAHHHH....GGGRRRR!!!!!!" Spike began screaming, as the sword glowed immensely, and a powerful shock knocked Twilight Sparkle into one of her lab tables. Spike's body glowed with power, as a bright white light occured, giving him his transformation. Spike became a huge albino white dragon, with dark purple scales, and black tiger stripes. His eyes became a blank blood red with a purple enflamed glow around them. His tiny, dragon wing's were now big, and powerful, almost demon like in nature, both of them a mixture of Albino white, and dark purple.
Spike's shirt was ripped, and his long pant's were now grown, and changed to fit his newfound size. Spike went from a 4 foot tall dragon, to a 9 foot tall dragon. His muscles were ripped, and a dark sinister aura surrounded his body that emanated from the sword. He had gold, and black arm guard's, while also sporting a fashionable neck shielding that looked more like an armored collar. It had dark purple stripes, gold coloring, and a red eating patch on it. Twilight looked at him, as Spike shook off his transformation, while the Alicorn mare had a worried look on her face.
"S-Spike?" Twilight Sparkle gulped. Immedietly, Spike stretched his wing's, and hit the skies, breaking through Twilight Sparkles roof....into the stormy skies with white lighting charging his body. In a remarkable flight speed that rivaled Rainbow Dash, he glowed a chameleon white, and flew off in a blur, heading to the Everfree forest to test out his power, while Spike in this state......was blacked out.
*****
Wake up, Spike....wake up......WAKE UP SPIKE!!!!! Spike was jerked awake, laying down on the ground outside, as he groaned, but recovered quickly. "Ugh....what happened?" Spike asked, as he got up, feeling super tall, and buff. "What the fuck, why am I so tall, I don't remember being this huge" Spike realized, as he felt something heavy in the palm of his right hand. He looked down, seeing the white sword, which felt the perfect weight for him to use, then noticed his hand's being albino white. "OK....WHAT'S GOING ON, WHY ARE MY HAND'S WHITE!?!?!?!?!?!?"
Spike shouted, starting to panic, as he noticed a pool, and looked at his bodies reflection, and gasped at his color. "WHAT IS THIS....WHY AM I LIKE THIS, WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!?!?!?!?!?!?" Spike screamed, until a strange demonic voice spoke.
"We've awakened, do yourself a favor, and calm down" The voice told him, as Spike immediately got on edge, and began pointing his weapon around him, expecting a stalker, or a Changeling.
"WHO'S THERE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Spike shouted, as the sword was soon yanked out of it's grasp before floating magically, and turning to Spike. The handle part had a little tiny face at the very handle tip, as the blood red demon face turned, and smiled.
"Hiya" He grinned.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!"
"AAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Both of them screamed in unison, as they both freaked out. Spike finally took a breather, as did the sword. Spike remained in his transformed state even without the sword in hand.
"Jesus Christ Spike, I've been waiting almost a lifetime to be wielded into your hand's, and the first thing you do is SCREAM AT ME!?!?!?!?!?" He growled, as Spike did his best to remain calm.
"What to you mean almost a lifetime, and why did you turn me into this....huge dragon, and who are you?" Spike asked, as the sword spoke.
"Spike, you are my master....I am the weapon of the Almighty Dragonbourne, your father sent me once you would be grown up, plus my name is Draco" The sword explained, and introduced, as the sound of his father being mentioned got Spike's attention.
"Wait....Draco, you know my actual father?" Spike asked, as Draco nodded, and spoke.
"Of course I do, I also know your mother. After all it was your father who built me to be wielded by you to tame the demon Dragon side of you, not to mention awaken it" The sword explained, as Spike looked at Draco with a fearful look in his eye.
"What do you mean....Draco....w-who am I?" Spike asked, as Draco let out a long sigh.
"You may want to sit down for this, because this explanation is going to hit you hard." Draco told him, as Spike sat down....ready to listen.
"Spike, your not....fully a dragon, your half dragon, half demon. Your father is what is known as a "Demon dragon".....A Demon clan called the "Element of Darkness", that used their dark demon power's for them to spread their evil throughout the land, and were fought by the powerful dragon's from the skies. Your father was a high ranking demon, and second in line for becoming The Demon Lord, or in your case...The Demon King. Your father was the pride of his race, and had forged a strong bond with his Demon brother's....."
"....during a battle against many dragon's he, and a dragoness fought under harsh condition's in battle....that dragoness was your mother. Both of them, ended up getting trapped in a cave-in, and were forced to team up to survive. In order for them to get warm on one cold night, the two used their body warmth to keep them warm, unfortunately both of them took a real liking to one another, and ended up fucking in that trapped cave...." Draco explained, as Spike had a pondering thought.
"Huh, maybe that's why sometimes that when I got near Rarity I had weird dream's of fucking her when I slept at night" Spike shrugged, as Draco stopped, and looked at him.
"Wait....that pony you just mentioned....was she a mare that rejected you?" Draco asked, as Spike looked at him with a sigh.
"Is it that obvious?" He asked, as the sword face, shook himself side to side.
"No it was those moment's of dread that helped me sense that you were the Dragonbourne....should I continue the story?" Draco asked, as Spike nodded, allowing him to continue. "After their blissful lovemaking, both your father, and mother were rescued by each of their dragon clan's, escaping in a way that made them seemed that they were forced to get along, and then went back to enemies. Both of them were ready to kill each other, and bring honor to their species....but both of them had enjoyed each other's company in that cave, and had grown quite fond of each other....."
"......It wasn't very long, until on many occasion's during each clan's battles that they always had, they would have a romantic date, or have a quickie, both of them now in love with one another, but one day that changed when two other high ranked Demon dragon's, had gone with your father to execute your mother, who was alone." Draco explained, as Spike figured out what happened next.
"But my father really loved my mother very much, the only way she would have lived to even birth my egg is....." Spike began, as Draco spoke up.
"Exactly, Spike...your father betrayed the Demon dragon's, and killed those Demon's where they stood. Your father, who's name was Splitface....the most highest ranked demon to be next in line for The Demon King throne, and would be well respected of his race, and he gave it all up, for your mother...Emelia. She took him back to the other dragon's who were not so keen that she had fallen in love, and mated with a Demon dragon, let alone the highest ranked one, but your mother used her word's to fight the battle in the court....."
"....fortunately for your parent's one of the dragonesses on the court was one that your mother had told the council not to trust, and that dragoness was named Scales...." Draco explained, as Spike looked down him.
"Let me guess, before the council realized it, Scales betrayed a huge part or the council, and killed most of them before my father killed her?" Spike asked, as Draco looked at him suprised.
"Yeah, how did you know?" Draco asked, as Spike shrugged.
"Lucky guess" He smiled, as Draco continued the story.
"After Scales had killed a huge part of the council, they had no choice, but to make your father their ally, and never doubt your mother again. The dragon's grew to know your father, as a traveler, and someone who helped the council take the law in their own hand's. With the help of your mother they made friend's with many different species, and then your mother layed her only egg that would be from you, and your demon father....."
".....however it didn't last, many month's prior when the demon king sent more of his high ranked Demon's after your mother. They discovered that she was a special, and very powerful warrior of the normal dragon's, and your father was going to be next in line for The Demon King's throne. They had given birth to a very powerful dragon that would one day defeat the entire Demon dragon clan" Draco explained, as Spike came to a realization of his word's.
"You mean.....me?" Spike asked, as Draco spoke.
"You have no idea the power, and burden you will carry Spike. After you had been birthed, The Demon King sent his high ranked elite assassin's after your parent's both of them fought the very skilled assassin's well, but they were high ranked for a reason, and almost killed you in that cave. They couldn't get you to the other dragon's, or to any place else becasue The Demon King had staged their arrival perfectly. They escaped with the egg, and said to see if they would take you to the dragon land's, and that's the last I ever saw of them" Draco explained, as Spike used his clever mind to think.
"The Demon King must have set trap's along the way, forcing them to deliver me to ponies" Spike realized, as Draco spoke.
"A good idea it would be hard to know where to find ponies when dragon's almost ignore them all the time unless they have something the dragon want's" Draco explained, as Spike sighed.
"Both of them must have been fatigued, and died, but not before delivering me to the pony village" Spike thought, as Draco spoke.
"Then it must mean that she used her teleporting firebreath to safely transport you to the ponies, and then killed her....your mother tricked them into thinking your egg was destroyed" Draco explained, as Spike got up, and growled.
"I am alive....which mean's I can finally live up to my birthright, and rid them all" Spike explained, as Draco smiled.
"Not without my help, after all I am your weapon" Draco smiled, as he attracted back into his palm, as Spike felt his power coursing through his vein's.
"I would say to stay in Ponyville, but I don't think that's a very wise option" Spike told the sword, pondering his own thought's.
"A good eye Master, you've already been hidden out here for many years, and you have many Demon dragon's, who really want to see you dead......then your right, staying here would be delaying the inevitable" Draco said, as Spike looked ahead, while walking back to Ponyville.
"We have to be journeying across other places that are keen to knowing our demon whereabout's, would that mean they are on the other side of the Everfree?" Spike asked.
"Indeed, any many other places are more to follow" Draco answered, as Spike sighed.
"But if I leave here, my friend's will know something is up, and that would drag them into a huge mess" Spike explained, as Draco spoke.
"We need someone here to back for us, someone we can trust to keep our secret" Draco explained, as Spike chuckled.
"I know of one pony who can help us, but she is not going to like it" Spike sighed, after using his powerful wing's to fly back to Ponvyille.
*****
"SO THAT'S WHERE YOU CAME FROM.....You really are special Spike" Twilight beamed, as Spike just chuckled at her nerdy antic's, as she also was able to speak to Draco just fine.
"Twilight, In order for me to claim my birthright without any of you being in danger, I have to leave Ponyville for a while, and I don't want you to tell the other's" Spike warned her, as Twilight Sparkle froze with a sense of uneasiness around her.
"But....Spike, I-I'm awful at keeping secret's, you know how I am with how someone knew that you had a crush on Rarity" Twilight said with worry, as Spike looked at her with cold, dead eyes, and spoke.
"Then LEARN Twilight....these Demon dragon's are clearly dangerous in spreading their evil, it's a bloodbath game of cat-and-mouse none of them can't get mixed up in this, but in order for me to leave, I need one of you to cover me....and I trust you the most.....plus your the only mare that saw my transformation when I held the sword" Spike explained, as Draco spoke.
"He's got a point young Sparkle, plus how can he be The Dragonbourne if everyone one day find's out that he died? This secret must be kept from everybody in Ponyville" Spike explained, as Twilight Sparkle sighed in defeat.
"I really want to tell someone, but I can't, I'll do it Spike....but how long are you going to be gone?" Twilight Sparkle asked, as Spike sighed.
"A very long time" He replied, as Spike got up with a huge supply pack, wrapped around his shoulder, as he began to walk out.
"Where are you going?" Twilight Sparkle asked, as Spike spoke up.
"To say goodbye to someone" He told her, and walked off. Spike managed to get behind a building, and looked to Draco.
"Hey, Draco do you think you can transform me into what I used to look like before I gripped the sword, and disguise yourself as a small knife?" Spike asked, as Draco turned his head to the drake, and spoke.
"Of course, although it will take a lot of concentration for me to hide your demon power's, and your dragon heritage, but....here goes" Draco growled, as Spike slowly felt an electrical surge power through his body, and collapsed onto his hand's, and knees.....his Dragonbourne form powering down, resorting him into his tiny, skinny, original form. The pack on his body was also able to shrink with the transformation to fit his size. Spike watched from afar, as Rarity, and Fancy Pant's had wrapped up their date.
He had escorted the beautiful mare to her house, and both of them had talked about how much fun they had. Spike watched silently, while having a smile spread across his face. He wished it was her who knew his secret, but with his current situation, he did more than just want to protect her, he wanted to see her happy. Judging, by the look on her face, she was happy. Rarity, and Fancy Pant's shared a passionate kiss before the stallion trudged back to his office, while Rarity went inside her Boutique.
Spike took a deep breath before approaching The Boutique door, and knocking on it. "Just a minute" Rarity called, looking like she was in the middle of her decision on a second date with Fancy Pant's. Spike didn't want to ruin such an occasion, but it was the only way for him to tell her. Rarity opened the door, as she looked down at the small Spike rather suprised.
"S-Spike.....are you.....STALKING ME, AND FANCY PANT'S NOW!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" She asked a little offended, as Spike shook his head.
"No Rarity, I was coming over here to tell you something else before I saw Fancy Pant's walk you home.....I take it the date went well?" He asked carefully, as Rarity breathed a sigh of relief before speaking.
"Of course, he was so amazing, and such a handsome prince, and it's hard for me to decide to go on a second date with him, or not....and Spike if you come here to convince me to be in love with you, I'm sorry, but I've already made up my mind......" Rarity gasped, realizing that she had said something to her best friend, while he was being innocent. Spike wasn't even fazed, it did hurt a little, but he had to live with what he was going to say next, because he now only wanted the best for her.
"Look Rarity, I know I was too late for asking, but I think Fancy Pant's is a good match for you, and I was a little selfish back in the day, but now I've come to realization. Rarity, I just want to see you happy, and I think Fancy Pant's will make you happy. I didn't stalk you, and I didn't come to give you a second opinion about me....I came to say goodbye" Spike told her, as Rarity froze. She felt her heart sink upon hearing those word's, that almost made it feel like he was turning her down, or was offended by her accustation's earlier, as she spoke.
"G...Goodbye....w-what.....S-Spikey, what do you mean.....goodbye, are you going on a vacation.....or....something?" Rarity asked, as Spike shook his head sadly.
"No, Rarity....I mean, goodbye....as in goodbye....I'm leaving Ponyville, and possibly Equestria" Spike told her, as Rarity looked down, not wanting to see her best friend leave.
"S-Spike.....why, is it because of me....because of what I just said, and of.....earlier?" Rarity asked, her own voice speaking, as Spike sighed. Even though it was for her own good, even if he wasn't dating her, or being her drakefriend....it felt like he was breaking her heart....for her own safety.
"No Rarity, I knew you didn't mean that, and when it came to confessing to you, I had already feared the worse. Rare's....something has come up, something that I never imagined....something I can't tell you. Because of it, I can only find answer's that isn't inside of Equestria....I have to leave, to find answer's to my question's....so....goodbye" Spike waved, as Rarity began watching him go. It had gotten rainy, and stormy out, as the drake continued further toward's his destination.
"W-Wait......" Rarity shouted, as Spike stopped mid-step. She could sense something was bothering him, and wanted for him to tell her.
"Please....we've been best friend's for so long Spikey....please tell me.....tell me what is going on with you?" Rarity asked, knowing something, as Spike struggled to utter his next sentence.
"I wish I could Rarity......but I can't.......I'm sorry" Spike toke her, as he walked off to where he was intending to go. Rarity watched him leave, as even though she wasn't aware of it, a small tear ran down her face.
*****
Spike had returned into a rather acceptable form that was enough for his body to stand. He was about the same height, as his transformed state, but was green, and purple like he was suppose to be, as to not draw so much attention to where he was going. Being fully packed, Spike the dragon hugged Twilight Sparkle who was his big sister, as she smiled. "Be sure to write to me on day's that you can, and you can use your dragon fire to do it" Twilight smiled, as Spike nodded.
"I will Twilight....someday I'll come back....ok?" Spike told her, as she smiled.
"You have the small amount of bit's that I can give you?" Twilight asked, as Spike nodded, and patted the bag he had.
"Got it with me, I won't lose it" He told her, as he stretched his wing's ready to fly.
"Don't worry, tomorrow I'll tell the girls of your big departure, hopefully Celestia, and Luna can get back soon, I'll tell them you had go on a quest....alone" Twilight told him, as Spike smiled.
"Just remember our promise Twilight, don't tell them of who I really am.....ok?" Spike asked, as Twilight smiled.
"Cross my heart, and hope to die, stick a cupcake in my eye" She smiled, as Spike gave her one final hug, before using his wing's to take off at lightning quick speed's, as he vanished through the skies.
