Spike is a deadman

Spike is a Deadman

After the incident with discord Spike had thought a lot about the crystal that was inside his chest, he just thought it was just some stupid prank discord pulled just to make everypony scared and worried, but after that day spike was getting worried his chest started hurting a lot when the crystal went inside of him, he was scared and he didn't know if it would've been wise to tell everypony else about the whole discord thing.

when the girls asked what happened he lied and said that discord was about to rule over equestria but then celestia came and rescued everyone, celestia also didn't remember anything as she was also turned to stone, so spike had to make some excuses and twist the story a bit (ok a lot) so no pony would get suspicious, he wore a bandage wrap around his chest on the way back home, twilight and the girls asked about the bandage wrap he said he got hit in the chest and thought it was bleeding, when they asked him to go to the hospital he said he didn't want to worry anypony and that he was fine.

"Am I really ok?" he said to himself "I-I mean what was that whole thing with discord about..a-and what the heck is a deadman, is that some sort of illness"

what ever is was spike did not like the sound of it, he especially didn't like the whole "DEAD" part of it anymore, he wanted to ask twilight badly, but he was afraid it was some sort of virus or even worse, that it was some sort of fatal illness, spike really did not like the sound of that.

"Spike" said twilight as she was in the front of the door "i'm going to go to lunch with the girls, would you like to come along?" before he could answer he thought that it would be a perfect chance to find out what exactly is a deadman and if spike needed to worry or not

"Gee twilight I would" said the baby dragon, just tto be sure twilight wouldn't think he was lying he grabed a broom and started sweeping

"but I need to take care of some chores, don't wanna be sloppy, no siry bob not for twilight sparkles number 1 assistant"

he said pretending to do chores his pony sister then looked at him with disbelief and sighed

"a-alright spike" said twilight  "just please feel free to visit us when your done ok?"

"Y-Yeah" Said the baby dragon don't worry twi, you won't even recognize the place when you get back"

right after twilight left spike dropped the broom and went straight to the books, this was not the first time he said no to a spend times with his friends, he did this for 2 weeks now, everytime twilight went out he ran to the boks and started searching for a book to see if any of them said anything about a deadman he lied to twilight and the others everyday for 2 weeks, just so he could find out something about this whole deadman thing, what did it mean and why, how and what lead him to become a deadman he then thought that today is the day he finds out what exactly a deadman is.

he skimmed through 10 books a minute just so he can find out what exactly is a deadman, he looked at the last book, but alas nothing, spike found nothing on the phrase deadman, he was getting scared now, what would happen if he was right, what if it was fatal, and what if he might die at any second in the day, if thats all true he could never see his friends ever again or be alive long enough to do all the things he always wanted to do.

"is this it?" he said with tears coming down his checks "am I gonna die...darn it..so many things to do..so many things left unsaid....I -I can't die now...Please god...I can't di-"

suddenly his chest started to hurt, but it was an excruciating pain this time the pain was so terrible he grabbed his chest as hard as he could and and screams in pain

"AHH No, No it can't be, i-is this it, did discord mean I was going to die...his plan was to....kill....me...?" he said with his last breath and  then fell to the ground

"no...this can't be....I-I can't...die...." he said as he tried to crawl through the door "..not now.....not so soon.....I....just...need to...live"

looking at the library one last time before his vision faded away and then finally closed his eyes, after some time he slowly woke up and got up on his knees, he looked around and one thing is for sure, he was not in the library, in fact he probably wasn't even in equestria anymore, just then he saw a dark red blade cutting off his top spine but just an inch, this caused spike to fall down in fear, then he thought since he isn't dead yet it's probably some joke that pinkie pie and rainbow dash are pulling on him, he thought that they did do worse to him so he grinned and then breathed deeply hoping this was true.

"O-Okay dash you and pinkie pie got me" said spike getting up "Stop trying to scare me its not funny anymore!"

he then noticed the long blade slashed him in the stomach right when he got cut he coughed up some blood and then fell down on the ground, holding on to his stomach he got back up then fell on his knees

"Hey kid" said a mysterious figure, "what the hell do you think your doing here?"

as he walk a little closer he looked very strange in spikes eyes this creature didn't look like a pony nor dragon nor any creature he's ever laid his eyes on before, this made spike even more worried knowing the fact that he is not only a possible psychopath but the fact he's using some sort of magic or ability he or possibly no pony has ever seen in equestrian history.

"H-Hey" said spike as he got up once again but slower this time "Just who in the heck are you and why are you atta-" he then  got slashed by the mysterious figure and his blades that looked like it was coming out of his arms

"well kid you got a pair coming over here" Said this mysterious creature he didn't seem to notice he was talking to a dragon, it was dark and spike couldn't get a closer look on who or what was torturing him

"Who are you...what are you" said spike grabbing his stomach and staying down this time "Why are you doing this to me!!!

This psychopath crackled in the most insane and demented way possible, he then looked away walking back a bit  "looks kid" he said "I don't care who you are, what you are or where you came from, or how the hell you got in MY cell, my purpose in life is to kill, thats...it" he then summoned his blades again

"MY name is senji kiyomasa" he said in his fighting stance "And I'm a deadman"

Spike was stunned, not only because of the fact that he was possibly going to die, but he said that word, the word that he was searching the meaning for this entire 2 weeks spike then sat up

"did you just say" he said with a depressing tone "your a...dead...man?"
