Maximum Overlord

The Decker manor had gone quiet, so quiet that you could actually hear a pin drop.

The only sound heard throughout the house was the sips coming from the cup of tea that Princess Celestia was having while waiting for the right time to begin talking.

“Uhm, your majesty, mind me asking, but why do you want to talk to Silvio?” asked Barbara

“Not yet, Dear, give it a minute… or two,” said Celestia

A few seconds later they heard the front door open and footsteps coming towards the living room.

“Woah!!! God, do you guys know how bad of a parking lot you guys have, I mean, I have a lot of cars, but… damn, you have various cars,” said a tall lanky man as he walked up to the sofa where Celestia was sitting.

“Well, you see, I do a lot of commerce in different areas, and I’m just holding on to those vehicles until tomorrow when they will be shipped to the dealerships,” said Bruce

“Yeah… that makes sense,” said the man

“Would you like a cup of tea Lord Karius?” asked Hannah

“Oh, no, thank you anyway dear,” said Lord Karius as he turned to face the Decker family

“So, pardon my, uhm… friendly tone, but what is so important that the 2 most powerful people alive, come all the way done to my humble home without prior notice or escort?” said Grace

“Well… Grace, the reason we came down here in secret… is for him,” said Celestia as she pointed at Spike

“Oh, I’m fucked… I’m so royally fucked,” thought Spike as he began to sweat

“Under what circumstance?” asked Bruce

“Your son… committed a very big offense to the royal family yesterday,” said Karius

That caused all of them to turn and look at Spike

“Is this about me crossing the border illegally… cause if it is, I can explain,” said Spike

“There is no need for that,” said Celestia

“Yeah, we have all the details we need from the people you saved,” said Karius

“People… he saved?” asked Barbara

“Yes, your son and brother, was involved in a battle between a group of royal bodyguards and marauders, in which he not only defeated them all by risking his own life but was able to save, and return, the life to all of the people who had been hurt,” said Discord

Everyone looked at Spike

“That convoy was transporting my niece, Princess Miamore Cadenza, her husband Sean Silverstein, her sister-in-law, Tiffany Silverstein, and her in-laws Nelson and Tamana Silverstein… they would’ve been kidnapped or even the unthinkable if it weren’t for your fast actions,” said Celestia

“So, what is the crime?” asked Bruce

“The crime is that he abandoned the area without that much as a thank you from our part,” said Discord

“THAT’S IT?!!!!” asked Grace

“Well… no, there was something else that caught our attention in the report they gave us,” said Karius

“And that is?” asked Spike

“Well, you tell us,” said Celestia

“Yeah, I mean, you can use every type of magic known to mankind… and to add insult to injury, you can combine Holy and Dark magic without killing yourself, HOLY AND DARK MAGIC, I mean, we had to check that out,” said Karius with a smile

“Yes, I can do that, but… Lord Karius, what is this really about?” asked Spike

“Discord,” he said

“Excuse me?” said Spike

“Call me Discord, Lord Karius was my father,” said Discord

“Discord… what is this about?” asked Bruce

“Well… I believe you know of the Canterlot academy,” said Discord

“Barely,” said Spike

“Barely?” asked Discord

“Yeah, while I was in school, I was never allowed to attend the seminars,” said Spike

“Why?” asked Discord

“I didn’t count as a living person,” said Spike

“I’m going to need a better explanation for that,” said Discord

“Well, I’ve only had my powers for a little over 6 months,” said Spike

“That’s true, he was born with a level of just 10 magic points, but it changed after an incident,” said Grace

“What incident?” asked Celestia

Spike then proceeded to explain everything that happened

“My God, that is terrible, and what happened to this Darcy fellow?” asked Celestia

“Dragonlands Royal military academy… it was part of the deal with his father,” said Spike

“Well, at least he’ll get straighten up,” said Discord

“Hopefully, if not I will do it for them,” said Barbara

“A feisty one, I’m I right,” said Discord with a smile

“Yes, she is very protective of her brother,” said Grace

“I can see… regardless, after hearing so many good things about your son, we decided to grant him the final spot in our scholarship class,” said Celestia

“Really?” everyone said

“Yup… we’ll unless he declines,” said Discord

Spike went silent for a few seconds and said

“What about Dragonlord Torch?”

“Do you really think we would’ve come all the way here in secret without asking him first?” asked Celestia

“Good point,” said Spike

“You see, I told you he was a smart kid,” said Celestia with a confident grin

“Yeah, yeah, he agreed with your reasoning, hurray,” said Discord sarcastically

“But, that means I’m going to have to move to the city of Canterlot,” said Spike

“Well, yes, but you aren’t going to have to worry about food and shelter, that’s all taken care of,” said Celestia

“Really?” asked Spike

“Yup, plus, if you need more information about the campus, we’ll be giving much more info during the opening ceremony,” said Discord

“Shouldn’t it be a welcoming ceremony?” asked Spike

“2 for me,” said Celestia

“Can… can I think about this for a minute,” said Spike

“Sure,” said Celestia as she took the plate that Hannah had brought for her, which containing a piece of red velvet cake

“That will probably go to your hips,” said Discord

“You seriously don’t value your life, do you?” said Celestia with murder on her voice

At the other side of the room, Spike and his family were debating about the idea

“Ok, so…” Spike began

“Take it,” they all said

“Take what?” asked Spike

“The chance, it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” said Bruce

“Plus, with your abilities, not using them and growing them would be a waste of talent,” said Grace

“And, you can finally complete your dream of bringing honor to our household… plus, I’m gonna be applying for that same academy next year, so, I’ll be counting on you to be my guide when I get there,” said Barbara

“Ok, then…” said Spike as he walked over to the sofa where Celestia and Discord were munching down on more red velvet cake.

“How… how much cake did the 2 of you eat?” asked Spike

“Well, this is my 5th plate,” said Celestia

“4th and I have to say, it is simply superb,” said Discord

“Indeed, who made this?” asked Celestia

“I did,” said Spike

“YOU CAN BAKE!!!!” they both screamed

“Yup, a lot of free time in my hands, so, I did many things to be occupied,” said Spike

“You must simply give me the recipe,” said Celestia

“Sure… about the offer… I’m… I’m taking it,” said Spike

“Excellent, now… be sure to pack tonight… so that you can take the next train to Canterlot tomorrow morning… the entrance ceremony is going to be held this coming Monday,” said Celestia as she finished yet another piece of cake

“That’s in 3 days,” said Spike

“Exactly… so, be ready, we’ll have someone waiting for you at the train station tomorrow afternoon,” said Discord

“Understood,” said Spike

“Well, our business here is over… by the way, is there a possibility that we can take the rest of the cake?” asked Celestia

“If you give 2 hours, I can bake you a new one,” said Spike

Celestia and Discord looked at each other

“We’ve got time, plus... I’d like to talk with your father about some business,” said Discord

THAT NIGHT

Spike was moving around his room putting stuff into his bag preparing to depart for Canterlot; he was happy for this new adventure but at the same time, he felt like if something was really out of place, like if something was missing.

“Something on your mind, Big Bro?” said Barbara as she entered the room

“No, I was just thinking,” said Spike

“Thinking about what?” asked Barbara

“It’s just that… it feels surreal, 6 months ago, I was a nobody and now, I’m about to head to THE most prestigious academy in the world, with a scholarship,” said Spike

“And what is the problem?” asked Barbara

“Not a day has gone by since I think about what happened that day… I even went in search of the cave I fell through, but… I never found it,” said Spike

“Are you sure you went to the right place?” asked Barbara

“Yeah, I did the math and even gave myself a 1KM radius of error, but nothing,” said Spike

“Well, maybe it was destroyed by the rain,” said Barbara

“It’s limestone, it doesn’t get dissolved easily… it just seems too… convenient,” said Spike

“Convenient? How?” asked Barbara

“Like if all this was, destined to happen, even without me wanting to,” said Spike

“But, I thought you wanted to become strong,” said Barbara

“I did… but, having all this power… it feels like cheating,” said Spike

“Well… the way I see it, the power you possess can be a great help… you only have to discover the reason why you need it,” said Barbara

“You know, I was actually thinking the same thing… maybe I can find my calling down at Canterlot,” said Spike

“Well, just remember that I will always be here for you, no matter what,” said Barbara

“Right… thanks, sis… I better call it a night, my train leaves at 8 AM, that’s in 7 hours,” said Spike

“Of course… goodnight Spike,” said Barbara as she gave him a kiss on the forehead.

THE NEXT AFTERNOON AT CANTERLOT TRAIN STATION

Spike finally arrived at Canterlot, and he was surprised, it was nothing like the Dragonlands, the train station was overflowing with people getting off or on trains, some wearing suit and ties heading for work, others wearing ostentatious and expensive outfits, and others with normal clothes.

“I think this trains station has more people in it than the whole dragonlands,” thought Spike as he walked towards the lobby.

It would’ve been an unamusing walk, if it weren’t for people looking at Spike as he walked past them.

“I hope I’m not doing something wrong… man, I should've practiced my social skills a tad more… I hope this doesn’t come back to haunt me later on,” he thought as he made it to the lobby.

He was about to walk out the main entrance, when he noticed 3 interesting individuals, 2 males and 1 female.

One male and the female individuals were dressed in military attire, while the other male was wearing a tuxedo and holding up a sign that said “Silvio Decker”

Spike started to walk towards them, and during his short trip, he overheard a few things

“I wonder who this person is?” said a female voice

“He must be important if the army and the Princess personal butler are here to pick him up,” said another

“Maybe he is a lord or diplomate from a foreign land,” said another

“I wonder if he is hot,” said another

“Or single,” said another

Spike felt a bit uncomfortable hearing those remarks

“This welcome wasn’t necessary,” he thought

As soon as he got close to them, the male soldier said

“Sir Decker, It’s an honor to meet you,”

“Likewise,” said Spike with a forced smile as he turned to look around and notice the stares he was getting.

Many of them were of surprise, but they also included looks of admiration, lust, and hate

Regardless, Spike hated being the center of attention, mostly cause he wasn’t used to it

“Why do I have the feeling that is going to be an everyday thing?” he thought

“Right this way, please,” said the butler as he took Spike’s luggage out of his hands, except his guitar case.

Spike was escorted out of the train station and into a limo.

“Ok, this is just too much,” he thought

“Where to?” asked the driver

“The Grand Mare Hotel,” said the butler

The drive was going to be fairly quiet, but

“Was… was all this really necessary?” asked Spike

“Princess Celestia’s orders, except for those 2, they came on their own volition,” said the butler

Spike turned to look at them

“We wanted to thank the person that saved our family members,” said the man

“Yes, if it wasn’t for you, my fiance would be dead now… I won’t ever be able to repay you, but if you ever need something, just contact the base and ask for Lt. Carmen Munoz,” she said

“Same here, General Dylan Alderbridge, you saved my younger brother… our family is forever in your debt,” he said

“You don’t have to…” said Spike

“We have arrived at our destination,” said the butler as the car came to a stop

When Spike got out he noticed that they were at a 5 star hotel

“Seriously, with all of this showing off,” said Spike as he was escorted in

After a few minutes he arrived at the suit reserved for him

“Is this just for me, or?” asked Spike

“The suit, yes, but all of the scholarship students are booked into this hotel until the opening ceremony,” said the butler

“Why?” asked Spike

“That information will be given to you on Monday, now, please rest, I assume it was a long ride, but also feel free to head out into the city and explore,” said the butler

“One final question,” said Spike

“Sure,” said the butler

“If I wanted to increase my social skills, where should I go?” asked Spike

“That’s a tough one, I believe social skills get better over time… but I would head to the library,” said the butler

“Why?” asked Spike

“The library has spell books, you might be able to find something that interests you… now if you do, the library is 5 blockers south from here, and it’s open 24 hours… anything else?” asked Spike

“I never caught your name,” said Spike

“My name is Frederick, it has been a pleasure, sir Decker,” he said as he left

“Likewise,” said Spike as he turned to the massive room

“I should probably watch some TV… I have the rest of today and tomorrow to explore the town,” thought Spike.

ONE HOUR LATER

Spike found his way walking down the crowded streets of Downtown Canterlot, he had initially decided to head down to the library, but then decided otherwise, seeing that he should better go sightseeing.

“He had now walked all the way down to the central park, which was crowded as he imagined, people jogging, having a picnic, spending time with their friends and/or loved ones, people on dates, kids playing on the playground.

It was a very pleasant sight for Spike, as he continued to walk around the park

“Man, I’m starting to like this place, a lot, It’s like a paradise,” he thought

At that moment Spike made it to the soccer field where a group of people, not older than him were having a quick match.

Spike decided to sit down and watch the game for a few minutes, until he noticed a little commotion happening in the pitch

“Seriously dude?” said an angry female voice

“Sorry guys, but matters of the heart come first,” said a male voice

“So… when you’re out on a mission and have your urges, you’re just going to abandon it to bang your chick? Really?” said another female voice

“Sorry, I’ll make it up to you guys next time,” said the guy as he left the pitch

“Now what are we going to do?” said one of the girls as she went over to the shade of the tree followed by the remaining players.

“Well, we just need to find some who wants to play to finish the game,” said another male voice

“What about him? He’s been watching us play for a while and he is wearing workout clothes,” said one of the girls

“Good idea, I’ll go ask him,” said one of them

She walked over to where Spike was and was about to start talking when she made eye contact with him, and for some reason she started to feel butterflies in her stomach

“Hey, I was wondering… you see, I… I MEAN WE… we just lost one of our players to some… “personal matter”, and we noticed that you were sitting here watching us play… so, wanna join?” said the girl

Spike looked at her and said

“Sure… but I have to warn you… I’m a bit rusty,” said Spike as he got up

The girl looked at him with amazement, she could tell that he was the sporty type, he had muscle but not too much to make him look intimidating, plus, he was tall.

“Roxanne,” she said

“Excuse me?” asked Spike

“My name is Roxanne Daniels, but my friends call me Rainbow Dash, what about you?” said Rainbow Dash

“Silvio Decker, my friends call me Spike,” he answered

“Well, nice to meet you, Spike,” she said as he stretched her hand

“Likewise,” said Spike as he shook it

For whatever reason, this caused Rainbow Dash to feel a jolt of electricity but hid it well from Spike

“Wow, she’s pretty, you can tell that she likes to work out, she has the muscle to prove it, yet she doesn’t look like a bodybuilder, her hairstyle is also very unique. It resembles a rainbow to perfection… if I had to guess… she’s about 5’7” and about my age, maybe a tad younger,” thought Spike as he followed her to the rest of the players

“Well guys, he agreed, this is Silvio,” said Rainbow Dash

“Hello,” they all said

“Hi,” said Spike

“Ok, Sunset, he’s on your team,” said Rainbow Dash

“Right… can you play soccer?” asked Sunset

“Yup, haven’t played in a while, but I’m sure it’ll come back,” said Spike

“Great, you’re playing forward with me,” she said

“Ok,” said Spike as he took off his sports jacket and let everyone see his toned body

“Wow,” thought Rainbow Dash as she started to slover a bit

“Not bad,” thought Sunset Shimmer as she went into the pitch followed by Spike

“This girl is really cute, long hair, red and yellow hair combination, perfect body, skinny with the perfect amount of curve in the right places… WOW!!! Hold your hormones, Spike, you barely know her,” thought Spike as he got into position

“Hey, one last question?” said Spike

“Yup,” said Sunset

“What should I call you?” asked Spike

“Call me Sunset, my name is Sofia Sanchez, but everyone calls me Sunset Shimmer,” she said

“Right, then feel free to call me Spike,” he said

“Gotcha,” she said as the game restarted

After a few minutes, the game was tied 3-3, and it was coming close to the end of the match.

Sunset Shimmer had the ball as she did her best to dribble past her opponents

“Final minutes of the match… she passes one, two, three… she’s getting near the enemy area… only the goalkeeper between her and glory… and… UUUF,” Narrated Sunset Shimmer as she played, unaware that Rainbow Dash was near her to dispossess her of the ball possession, causing her to fall to the floor

“You really have to get your head out of the clouds… anyway, smell you later loser,” she said as she dashed all the way across the field.

“This is how you do it” thought Rainbow Dash as she swung to kick the ball, but instead kicked the air, losing her balance and falling right on her butt.

Rainbow Dash quickly looked around for the ball and noticed Spike sliding away with the ball near him.

“Not on my watch sister,” said Spike as he kicked the ball all the way to the other half of the pitch for Sunset Shimmer to head it into the net

“THAT’S how you do it,” said Spike as he jumped up and down

“That was amazing” said Rainbow Dash

She was about to go over towards Spike, but she was defeated by Sunset Shimmer, who went over to give him a hug and a high five

“That was amazing!” she said

“Well, I told you it was going to come back to me,” said Spike

While the conversation continued, Rainbow Dash felt more and more irked

“Why am I so angry right now… AND WHY DOES HE KEEP TALKING TO HER LIKE IF THEY WERE CHILDHOOD FRIENDS!!!!” she thought as she walked up to them

“So, Spike, tell us about yourself,” said Rainbow Dash as she placed her elbow on his shoulder.

This made Sunset look at Rainbow Dash in surprise

“Well, I am the son of a lord in the Dragonlands, and I came here to join the Canterlot Academy,” said Spike

“Really, us too,” said Sunset Shimmer getting closer to Spike

“Really?” said Spike

“Yeah, I came here with another of my friends, her name is Florence, but she doesn’t like sports that much so, she isn’t here,” said Rainbow Dash

“So, what made you join the academy?” asked Sunset Shimmer

“The Princess,” said Spike

This answer caught them by surprise

“And why is that?” asked Sunset

“Are you into older women?” asked Rainbow Dash, her tone a tad irritated

“No, she kind of… forced me to join,” said Spike

“Wait WHAT?!!!” they both said

Spike then proceeded to explain the events that led to him coming to Canterlot

“SERIOUSLY!!! YOU CAN WILD ANY TYPE OF MAGIC!!!!” they both said

“Yup… surprising I know,” said Spike

“That is so cool… I can only use Wind and Water magic,” said Rainbow Dash

“And I can only use, Light and Fire magic,” said Sunset Shimmer

“Well, at least you girls have an easier time concentrating than I do,” said Spike

“What do you mean?” asked Rainbow Dash

“Since I can use any type of magic, means that I have to train 2 of them every day so that there isn’t an imbalance in my magic… it’s really annoying,” said Spike as he looked at his phone “HOLY LAVA!!! IS THAT THE TIME!!! Sorry girls I have to go… see you on Monday,” said Spike as he put on his jacket and ran away in a hurry

“BYE SPIKE, SEE YOU ON MONDAY!!!” said Sunset Shimmer

“SMELL YA LATER MAN… I’ll be counting the seconds, Spike,” said Rainbow Dash

A FEW MINUTES LATER

Spike had run so fast he didn’t even realize he made a wrong turn, and now he was lost

“Great… no signal either… now what?!” he thought as he walked down the train “At least is quiet and peaceful down here,”

Just then he heard movement in the nearby bushes

“Hello?” he said

Just then, a little white bunny jumped out of the bushes and into Spike’s hands

“Hey there little… buddy, what’s wrong?” asked Spike, his answer delayed for only a second, as a fox jumped out of the same bushes and landed in front of Spike.

It looked at the bunny and began barking

“I didn’t know foxes could bark!” thought Spike “That’s enough!!” he said as he stomped his feet to scare the fox.

Sure enough, the fox jumped back in fear

“BEAT IT!!!!” said Spike as he stumped his feet again, and the fox ran away in fear

“Well, that was accelerating… it’s ok buddy, you’re safe now,” said Spike as he petted the bunny

Seconds later, they heard a female voice screaming and walking towards them

“ANGEL!!! ANGEL!!!” she cried out

Seconds later, Spike noticed a very beautiful girl walking up the path, she had long pink hair, cyan eyes, and was about 5’3”, but what caught Spike’s attention was the size of her boobs.

“Excuse me? Have you seen a baby bunny run past here?” she said as she walked up to Spike, his eyes glued to her boobs

“You mean him?” said Spike as he showed her the bunny in his hands

“YES!!! Oh, Angel, I was so worried about you,” she said as she took him off his hands and hugged him

For whatever reason, Spike had now grown tongue-tied

“Wow, her boobs are big… HOLD IT SPIKE!!! NO, YOU CAN’T SAY THOSE THINGS!!!”

“Thank you so much, My name is Florence Scavo, my friends call me Fluttershy, and this is my pet bunny Angel nice to meet you,” she said with a big smile

Spike, however, was having a mental battle right now

“DON’T SAY ANYTHING STUPID! DON’T SAY ANYTHING STUPID! DON’T SAY ANYTHING STUPID!... I like your boobs,” he finally said, which caused him to slap his forehead “DUMBASS!!!!!!!” he screamed in his head

“Ah… thanks,” said Fluttershy her face turning red

“I’m so sorry… I just spoke out of my butt, hi, my name is Silvio Decker, the pleasure is mine,” said Spike

“It’s ok, I mean, I like your body shape,” said Fluttershy doing her best to make the moment less awkward

“Thanks… I’m really sorry about what I said,” he said

“It’s ok, I get that a lot,” said Fluttershy

“Must be very uncomfortable… by the way, what are you doing out here so late?” asked Spike

“Well, I came to the park to let Angel run around for a little while, then the fox appeared and chased him all the way here… what about you?” said Fluttershy

“I was playing soccer with my new friends, then I realized the time and made a run for it, and when I realized… I was lost,” said Spike hanging his head down in embarrassment

This caused Fluttershy to giggle a bit “Well, it happens to anyone, come on, Angel can show us the way out,” said Fluttershy as she started to walk towards the exit of the trail.

A few minutes later, Spike and Fluttershy were almost out of the trail, and they had a very nice conversation on the way there.

“So, Spike, where are you from?” asked Fluttershy

“Dragonlands, my father is a lord serving under Dragonlord Torch, he’s somewhat of my uncle,” said Spike

“That’s nice,” said Fluttershy, a bit of fear on her voice

“What about you?” asked Spike

“Well… I was born in Cloudsdale, but I lived in the nearby town of Ponyville, then I got accepted into the Canterlot Academy, with my friend Roxanne…” said Fluttershy

“Oh, Rainbow Dash, so you’re the friend she was talking about,” said Spike

“You know her?” said Fluttershy

“Yeah, I was playing soccer with her and another girl called Sunset Shimmer, plus another amount of dudes, from which I don’t remember their names,” said Spike

“Oh, well…” said Fluttershy

This answer made Spike feel uneasy

“Man, I wish I could know what she was thinking,” said Spike

“So, Spike… are you going to attend the Academy too?” asked Fluttershy

“Yeah, I’m a scholarship student,” said Spike

“Really? You must be very talented,” said Fluttershy

“No, I was, kind of forced to take the scholarship,” said Spike

“What do you mean?” asked Fluttershy

“Well, you see…” said Spike as he began telling Fluttershy the past events

“YOU DID WHAT?!!!!” she screamed

“It was either that or a higher body count… and, well, I do admit that I crossed the border illegally… but…” said Spike

“That’s beside the point… you’re a hero!” she said

“Nah… I was just at the right place at the right time… anyone dumb enough would’ve done the same,” said Spike

“Why are you insulting yourself?” asked Fluttershy

“Well, you might think I was being brave, but, in actuality, I was so scared I almost crapped my pants more than once… therefore the expression,” said Spike

“I get it… so, Princess Celestia and Lord Discord went to your house to give you the scholarship,” said Fluttershy

“Yup, Discord said “If I had half of the affinities you possess, I wouldn’t let them go to waste,” said Spike

“Oh, and what affinities do you have?” asked Fluttershy

“Oh… all of them,” said Spike

This caused Fluttershy to stop in her tracks and turn to face Spike

“Prove it!” she said

“What?” asked Spike

“Prove it, that you can use all types of magic,” she said

“Ok,” said Spike as he, one by one, cast all of his affinities

“OH MY GOD!!! That’s amazing, I can only use Holy and air magic,” said Fluttershy

“Well, the fact that you can use holy magic is amazing on its own,” said Spike with a smile

This caused Fluttershy’s heart to skip a beat and turn red “Thanks…” she said as they reached the street.

“Well, it was nice to meet you Fluttershy, I’m sorry for what I said, seriously,” said Spike

“It’s ok, the feeling is mutual,” said Fluttershy having trouble making eye contact

“Man, I’m really making her feel uncomfortable, I should better take my leave… but I should also show here I am friendly… well, I’m headed this way, I’ll see you on Monday for the opening ceremony, have a very good night,” said Spike as he began to walk away

“You too…” said Fluttershy as she watched him leave, then she turned to look at Angel “... why does my heart feel like this? It’s like… I want to be near him all the time,” she said, this caused Angel to slap his forehead.

MINUTES LATER

Spike had been walking for a few minutes now, looking for a way back to the hotel.

“Did I really have to turn the way furthest away from her?... well, at least she knows I have no bad intentions towards her,” thought Spike as he continued walking

“... once you get to the end of the road, turn left and cross the through the market, then turn left and walk for 500 meters and you will reach your destination,” said the voice of the GPS

“Heh, where would we be without Google Maps… “I hope I don’t get copyrighted by saying that… well, it said I have to turn left and cross the market,” thought Spike as he followed the GPS instructions.

He was halfway through the market when he heard

“GOSH DARN IT… IT REALLY IS STUCK!!!”

Spike turned his head to where the voice came from and noticed 4 people around a large truck.

“Better see what’s that about,” thought Spike as he walked towards them

“Ok, one last try… LIFT!!!” said the man, as he and another female present tried to lift the truck

“It’s too heavy!” she said as they both let go of the truck.

“Darn these petty town criminals, stealing damn manhole covers, darn them all to hell!” said the older female present

“Granny Smith, you shouldn’t get that angry, it’s not good for your health,” said the girl

“I’ll get angry when I want to get angry, plus I’m only 63 years old, and I ain’t feeling old!” she said

“The crane said it can’t come to help since all of their units are currently in use or in maintenance,” said another female

“OH, FOR CRYIN’ OUT LOUD!!!!” said the older female

“Is there a problem?” said Spike out of nowhere

This caused all of them to jump scared.

“Don’t do that… and yes, our truck got stuck in an uncovered manhole,” said the man

“Plus, the crane company isn’t able to come to aid us at the moment,” said the younger female

“Let me try,” said Spike as he walked over

“Ah, no disrespect man, but, if my bro and I can't lift it, I highly doubt that…” said the younger female

At that same instant, Spike used his muscles, wind, and earth magic to lift the truck out of the manhole

“WOW!” she said when she saw Spike lifting the truck

“I’ve never seen someone so strong in my life,” said the man

“Well, I’m not that strong… I’m just using wind and earth magic to aid me,” said Spike as he placed the truck back down.

“Well, thank you there, stranger, my name is Olivia Smith, but folks call me Granny Smith,” said the older female as she walked up to Spike

“Nice to meet you, my name is Silvio Decker, my friends call me Spike,” he said

“Well, Spike, allow me to introduce the rest of my family, this is my oldest grandson, Michael Smith…” she said as she pointed to the tall man, he had so much muscle, he scared the hell out of Spike

“Nice to meet you,” said Spike as he shook his hand only for him to crush it

“Likewise Spike, call me Big Mac, that’s what folks call me round ’ere” he said

“... this is Sarah Baker, she is Michael’s fiance…” continued Granny Smith

“Hi, thank you so much, and, sorry about your hand, Mac tends to ignore his own strength,”

“No, I don’t,” said Big Mac as he accidentally hit a column causing it to fall

“You were saying?” said Sarah

“I just try to be careful Sugar Belle, but I can’t,” said Big Mac as Sugar Belle hugged him

“... and this lovely lady is my granddaughter, Audrey Smith,” said Granny Smith

“SO, this is what they call an amazon?, she’s tall, maybe 6’1”, plus you can tell she works out, even her boobs are big, SERIOUSLY DUDE?!!! AGAIN!!!!... anyway, she’s pretty, plus, she has this vibe to her, that she is someone you can trust,” thought Spike

“I’ve never seen someone like you,” she said

“I… don’t get it,” said Spike

“You can use earth and wind magic at the same time,” she said

“Yeah, well, I can actually use all types of magic,” said Spike

“REALLY!!!” they all said

“Yup,” said Spike as he did a little demonstration

“Holy Apples… this is amazing,” said Big Mac as he admired the magic

“What brings you to Canterlot?” asked Granny Smith

“The academy,” said Spike

“Guessed it,” said Granny Smith

“You must be loaded,” said Applejack

“Yeah… but I’m a scholarship student,” said Spike

“Yeah, figures, with that amount of magic it’ll be foolish to overlook you,” said Granny Smith

“Oh, no, it doesn’t have much to do with my magic… I think,” said Spike

“So, then?” asked Granny Smith

Spike then proceeded to once again tell his story

“YOU TOOK DOWN A GANG OF MARAUDERS!!!” said Big Mac

“SAVED THE ROYAL FAMILY!!!” said Sugar Belle

“CURED THE INJURED!!!!” said Granny Smith

“AND RESURRECTED THE DEAD!!!!” said Audrey

“Pretty much, yeah,” said Spike

“HOW CAN YOU BE SO CHILL ABOUT IT?!!!” said Audrey

“Cause, I kind of was so terrified of doing it, I kind of did it on impulse… plus, I’m no hero, despite what Princess Celestia thinks,” said Spike as he finished checking the truck

“Well, thank you again, for your help Spike, if you ever need something, just give these 3 a call, they are all enrolled in the Academy anyway… or come to me if it is really important, we’ll be happy to help,” said Granny Smith

“I’ll keep it in mind, thanks, goodnight,” said Spike as he began walking again, made it to the corner, and turned left.

Everyone was ready to leave, but Audrey was still staring in the direction of Spike

“Something wrong?” asked Sugar Belle

“No, it’s just that…” said Audrey

“You just met your dream man?” said Sugar Belle

“Wait, What?” said Audrey

“Applejack, you have the same look on your face that I had when I met Mac 2 years ago, don’t try to hide it,” said Sugar Belle

“Something wrong?” asked Granny Smith

“Applejack is in love,” said Sugar Belle

“Figures… I thought the same thing,” said Granny Smith

“Wait… seriously?” said Applejack

“Yup, you never looked away, your eyes glued on him this whole time… guess going to the academy isn’t so bad anymore, ain’t it?” said Granny Smith

“Well…” said Applejack

“Just make sure to take advantage, make him notice you every chance you get,” said Granny Smith

“Why?” asked Applejack

“Would you like some other girl to come up and take your dream man away?” said Granny Smith

“No… but…” said Applejack

“Then, take charge,” said Granny Smith

“Yeah, try to be in the same team as him… that’s how Mac and I fell in love,” said Sugar Belle

“Someone mentioned me?” said Big Mac

“The truck ready?” asked Granny Smith

“Eeyup,” said Big Mac

“Then let’s go home, we have a lot of work tomorrow,” said Granny Smith as she got on the truck.

THE NEXT DAY

Spike was walking down the streets towards the library, and they were even more crowded than yesterday

“Wonder what is going on? Maybe there is a celebration,” said Spike as he continued to walk.

He was about to make it to the library when he heard

“Hey, gorgeous, wanna go have a good time?” said a male voice

“Wow, if that is his best pick up line, I kinda feel sorry for him,” thought Spike

Spike was about to walk away, until he noticed something

There were 2 guys holding a girl back, and by the looks of it, these guys were serious about their offer.

“I have no interest on going anywhere with 2 brutes like you,” said the girl

This line immediately sent red flags to Spike’s head

“Well too bad… for you,” said one of them

“Unhand me this instant!!” said the girl

Spike immediately ran over to where everything was happening.

“Shut up you bitch!!” said the man holding her as he was about to slap her, only for Spike to top his hand

“Slapping a woman? Your mother should be ashamed,” said Spike as he shoved the guys hand back so forcefully it snapped.

“ARGH!!! My arm… what do you think you are doing?” said the other one

“That’s my line,” said Spike

“She was asking for it, I mean, look at her, she’s only missing a sign that says “fuck me” said the man who tried to slap the girl

“And you are only missing one more word to die,” said Spike as his 2 arms lit up, his left one with flames and his right one with lightning.

“Ha!, I’m not afraid of you!!” said the guy with the injured arm as he’s arm was surrounded with rocks.

“Yeah, you’re messing with one of the strongest Diamond Dog members ever… prepare to hurt,” said the other one

As soon as he finished that sentence, Spike zapped the 2 of them so hard, their hair was burnt to a crisp.

“That was disappointing,” said Spike

He then turn to face the girl

“Are you ok?” he asked

“Yes, thank you… are they… you know?” asked the girl

“I don’t think so, I had it on stun,” said Spike

This remark caused the girl to laugh

“Well, they do work… nice to meet you, my name is Ruby Crystal Blythe, but my friends call me Rarity, I’m the eldest daughter or Duke Harrison Blythe,” she said

But Spike was once again awestruck, this girl was plain down gorgeous, she had long purple hair, her blue eyes resembling 2 dark blue diamonds and her body, it was meant for a supermodel, she wasn’t too skinny, having the perfect amount of fat in her body, her legs long and silky, and her boobs, although smaller than Fluttershy’s, were very well defined, she probably stood at 5’7” but because of her high heels it was hard to tell.

“Nice to meet you, my name is Silvio Decker, my friends call me Spike, and I am the eldest son of Lord Bruce Decker of the Dragonlands,” said Spike

“I know him, my father has done much business with him, it is so nice to finally meet someone of his family,” said Rarity

“Likewise, are you here for the Academy?” asked Spike

“Indeed, I was awarded a scholarship to the academy for my ability with water, earth, wind, and holy magic affinities,” said Rarity

“Cool me too,” said Spike

“Too what? Attending the academy or having those affinities?” asked Rarity

“Oh, I got a scholarship, but it was for saving the royal family of the Crystal Empire,” said Spike

“EXCUSE ME?!!!” said Rarity

“Well, I wouldn’t say I got it, it was more like forced upon me… thanks in part to the fact that I can use all types of magic,” said Spike

“That is outstanding… anyway, I must depart, see you tomorrow, Spike,” she said with a smile as she left

“Did… did I say something to offend her?” said Spike

“Wow, you are strong,” said a female voice behind Spike

He turned to meet the owner of the voice face to face, she had long curly pink hair, was about 5’5” and despite the fact that she was jumping up and down, Spike could tell she had a very nice figure.

“Hi, my name is Persia Diane Patterson, but you can call me Pinkie Pie,” she said

“Uh, hi,” said Spike

“Don’t worry, Spike, introductions aren’t required, I know much about you… well, I overheard the explanation… but I can tell, there is more to you, oh yes, you were born with less magic power than everyone, you were bullied and ostracized by everyone, then one day, you are granted great power and now you are here, looking for a reason to your powers,” she said

“How did you...?” asked Spike

“Know?... it’s one of my abilities “Discerning eye” it allows me to see the abilities and a quick backstory of whoever I use it on… anyway, I look forward to our time together here at the Academy, maybe we can even form a team… and be happy to help you find your purpose, see you later Spike,” she said as she skipped away

“That was weird… discerning eye, right… maybe I can learn about it at the library,” said Spike as he ran to the library.

A FEW HOURS LATER

“Nothing… nothing… nothing… nothing… here it is… Discerning eye, an ability for Holy and Dark magic affinity, this spell allows you to take a look into anything, be it a person, an item, a plant, or a weapon, also known as “God’s eye” by holy casters or as “Satan’s knowledge” by dark casters, this spell is hard to complete, the magic requirements for it, added to the affinity, is to have a magic power of over 200… Well, let’s give this a shot,” thought Spike as he closed his eyes, concentrated and felt his retina bulge up and come back to normal after a few seconds.

Spike opened his eyes and looked around.

He rested his eyes on the 2 librarians and their stats came out.

“Wilfred Weston, magic affinities Holy magic, age 34, in a relationship with Gina Blasie, magic points 250, librarian, army veteran… Gina Blasie, magic affinities, wind, age 28, in a relationship with Wilfred Wilson, magic points 130, librarian, in heat… chances of impregnation today 100%... well that was awfully specific, but it works,” thought Spike as he fixed all of the books and head to the hotel.

THE NEXT DAY

Spike walked up the steps to the Academy, his nerves highly on edge, mostly because of the stairs he was getting.

“Time to use my new trick… Mina Shirayuki, magic affinity earth, age 15, blah, blah, Sexually attracted to caster… George Whitesides, blah blah… hostile jealousy towards caster do to raze, wow, that one I can’t believe,” thought Spike

“I knew it… it is you,” said a female voice coming from behind Spike

Spike turned and saw that the owner of the voice was also a familiar face

“I found you,” she said as she walked up and hugged him

“Nice to see you to Princess Silverstein,” said Spike

At the mention of this, Twilight broke the hung and looked at him sternly

“Don’t call me that, I can’t possibly allow you to treat me that way after you saved my life, just call me Twilight,” she said with a smile

“Ok, sure… I’ll try it with her…” said Spike as he used discerning eye on Twilight

“You’ve got to be kidding me…”
