Chapter 10: Fuck you Dragon Queen bitch.

Mason, pissed, asked, “Why not? Spike just needs to touch the staff so he can talk to his ancestors.”
Queen Ember replied, “Not happening. The only way he can is if he marries me or is a part of my family bloodline.”
Mason, annoyed and frustrated, replied, “I don’t think that's how it works but ok.”
Mason headed back to the room and sat on his bed that is made of rock.

Spike looked over at Mason while doing push-ups and asked, “So, we good to go?”
Mason replied, “No, Ember wants you to either marry her or leave this place.”
Spike got up and said, “Ok, I’ll do it.”
Mason said, “I don’t understand why she wants to marry you and that shit…… Why are you ok with that?”
Spike replied, “Well, Discord told me that Sweetie Belle started dating Button Mash. So yeah, I’m down for it.”

Mason got up and headed to the throne room thinking out loud and stopped and headed back to the room and said, “I’m not a meter maid god dammit! You go in there and propose to her yourself. I’m fully capable of figuring out what you need to do. But you're supposed to do it yourself.”
Spike replied, “I know, But I’m pretty sure in order for me to marry her. I have to fight her in a dragon battle. I think?”
Mason sat down on the ground and meditated. Spike walked out the door and looked back at Mason who started to levitate off the ground. Spike walking to the throne room saw Garble in a guard outfit.

Garble asked, “Who are you? If you don’t have a reason to be here, then fuck off!”
Spike, surprised, replied, “It’s me! Spike, I’ve come to talk to Queen Ember.”
Garble inspected Spike and said, “No fucking way. What the hell happened to you? Less than two years ago you looked like a scrawny, string bean looking dragon and now you look like a proper dragon.”
Spike responded, “Well, King Mason helped me. The training I’ve gone through was tough and so painful.”
Garble nodding in approval opened the door to the throne room where Queen Ember was looking out the window in a gloomy state. She looked over and saw Spike and got excited from just seeing him. Ember, happy, asked, “Spike! I hope Mason explained the situation to you.”
Spike in a serious tone got on one knee and replied, “My Queen, I Spike the Right Hand of the Griffon King Mason requested a Dragon Lovers Fight to prove to your advisors that I’m worthy to marry you, Queen Ember!”

Queen Ember, blushed and with a growing happy expression, responded, “I, Queen Ember, accept this challenge and will have my Advisors schedule this fight.”
Spike stood up and smiled and asked, “I was wondering if I even needed to do this? Since, you were disbanding certain old rules.”
Queen Ember giggled and replied, “No you did it right and I plan on fighting you at full strength and won’t back down.”

Spike in a competitive smile said, “I hope so because I’m not just different physically. But skillfully as well, Queen Ember.”
Queen Ember got even more excited and retorted, “Bring it on, Because I plan to win to show my superiority. I also heard that you awakened your ancestral dragon blood too, is this true?”
Spike showed his half transformation where his eyes, and scales changed colors, Spikes came out of his elbows and kneecaps. Smaller spikes came out of his heels and nails. Spike, now more ripped than before, said, “Is this what you wanted to see my Queen?”

Ember, now turned on, said, “That is, yes. You can head back now Spike; I will address my Advisors and call for you tomorrow.”
Spike transformed back to his regular state and said, “Yes, My Queen.”
Spike left the Throne room and headed back to the room.

Ember ordered, “Garble, you are to let none enter and if they do enter, enforce the death sentence.”
Garble, scared, replied, “Roger, My Queen!”
Ember turned on and excitedly started to finger her love cave. Ember going at it like crazy and sticking two more fingers. Ember, mindless in her pleasure, said, “OH MY GOD! I wonder how big Spike is in that half transformation and how much bigger he will grow. The ancestral bloodline in Spike will increase my rule. Oh, my I don't think I can hold on much longer!”
Ember fingering herself harder and with more vigor shot out her love liquid and shot out flame up at the roof from her snout. She stopped and started breathing heavily with flame only coming out in the exhales.

Queen Ember got up and put her pillow back on the chair. Ember, not wanting anyone to see her love liquid, grabbed some of her tissues and cleaned up the liquid mess. She cleaned up the tiny puddles and cleaned her love cave, so she was dry. Ember pulling up her lower garments and thoughts of Spike made her a little wet again. Spike opened the room door and saw Mason still floating with magic and elements floating around him. Spike watched closely- and that's when Mason opened his eyes and asked, “How did it go?”
Spike replied, “I think it went well. I challenged her to a love duel, and she seemed scared but also told me she wasn’t going to go easy on me.”

Mason nodded and said, “Hopefully, Big Mac and the other guys are doing fine going ahead to train and camp by the Temples.”
Spike waved his hand and responded, “They are fine. I’m sure they are having a blast. I’m more worried about the plan devised with Discord.”
Mason retorted, “Why? Discord only has to pretend to be me and when I need to go to a meeting, I will use the puppet golem and he can go back to his place with Fluttershy at night.”
Spike, still skeptical, went back to working out. Mason made the balls spinning around him disappear and said, “This should take a couple of days max and then have the dragons and griffin's kingdoms working with each other to have a stronger bond.”
Spike replied, “I still want to get to know Ember better before we get married.”
Mason retorted, “I get that, but time is of the essence. So, I’d like for you to ask Queen Ember to make it an arranged marriage.”

Spike sighed and asked, “Why? I don’t want to do that. If possible, can't I stay here and enjoy my time as a dragon.”
Mason shook his head and replied, “You will, but may I add Spike. Our brothers need us as capable teammates and it's not like you won’t get to marry Ember.”
Spike, not answering, looked away with a sad expression. Mason put his hand on Spike's shoulder and retorted, “I know why you're doing this. But this won’t make you feel better so please think about this ok.”

Spike said, “Ok I’ll think about it but if we have it arranged you have to be the best man but in a dress.”
Mason replied, “Alright deal.”
Spike left and headed out to find Garble to hang out with him and his buddies. Spike looked around at the castle's architecture.

Ember sitting at the dining table with her advisors talking. Ember, bored out of her mind, said, “I was challenged in a Lovers Dragon Duel a couple of minutes ago.”
Turmon replied, “That’s great we were wondering if you were ever going to get married. Who's the lucky dragon, it’s Garble, isn’t it?”
Amodos retorted, “I think it's terrible, she should be focusing on her job. Garble is a dragon guard. What's so good about that?”
Domus said, “Quiet, you two can’t you guy’s see she's in love with this challenger. So, it’s obviously not Garble. My best bet is Tagon.”
Ember replied, “It’s not Garble or Tagon, those two are gay. It’s Spike the dragon.”
All the advisors looked angry, and Turmon said, “Yeah right, that prissy toothpick loser was never a real dragon to begin with.”
Amodos retorted, “I’m just suggesting you stick to focusing on your job because he’s not even worth your time.”
Domus sighed and frowned then said, “I would usually stick up for you. But Spike is a weakling dragon and never learned how our dragon customs. I’m personally against this to be honest.”
Spike walked into the dining room while the Advisors were talking bad about Spike. Spike walking over to the dragon kitchen asked, “Can I get some steak and gems!”

Domus asked, “Why not go for that good looking dragon?”
Ember blushing and replied, “That’s the challenger you guys were talking down to.”
Spike getting his food started walked out of the castle from the back and sat down and enjoyed his meal. The Advisors with their jaws dropped all surprised.

Amodos asked, “What the fuck happened to Spike?”
Mason appeared before the Advisors and said, “He met me and decided to grow up like a proper man.”
Ember looked at Mason in an annoyed tone and said, “What did I say King Mason?”
Mason said, “Yeah I know but I want something from you and in return I’ll give your Kingdom something you’ll need in the future.”
Ember squinting her eyes replied, “What is it?”
Mason said, “If this battle goes the way I think then I want the marriage arranged. But in two years from now. I'll give you the keys to my magic technology and all the information that comes with it...”
Ember, surprised, replied, “The tech you created to keep your Kingdom safe with its rune language and all we have to do is arrange the marriage in two years.”
Mason nodded his head and responded, “I also have another proposition for you as well.”
Ember, now interested, said, “What else do you have for me to think about.”
Mason replied, “I will give you the ability to unlock your full potential if you let Spike touch the Dragon Staff.”
Ember thought and before she could say anything Mason stood up and left and as soon as Mason left the room. The Advisors immediately said all at the same time, “Take the deal and let Spike touch the Scepter.”
Ember looked out the window and saw Spike sitting on the ground eating the steak and some gems. Ember got up and walked out to Spike while he was eating. Ember sat down with Spike and said, “I wanted to ask you a question?”
Spike replied, “Ok, hit me.”
Ember asked, “What do you think of postponing the marriage like Mason wanted?”
Spike looked up to the sky and responded, “I think that's ok. But I would love to hear your opinion and riff back and forth if possible.”

Ember, now intrigued, asked, “Why do you want my opinion?”
Spike looked at Ember and replied, “I believe if we are to date or get married, we should discuss and weigh the pros and cons. I want you to feel comfortable arguing with me and throwing your point of view my way.”
Ember, blushed, retorted, “You really care about my well-being don’t you.”
Spike responded, “That's because I believe we should be open and care for each other's feelings.”

Ember asked, “what made you this way?”
Spike, tearing up a bit, replied, “Well I was dating this anthro and was just told by my buddy Discord that she was cheating on me.”
Ember noticed his tears sizzled away from Spike's dragon skin heating up. Ember grabbed Spike's chin and forced a kiss on him. At that moment Spike’s heat subsided and, in that moment, Spike felt Ember's tongue and his tongue intertwining.

Spike backoff in a dazed look asked, “I want to ask. Are you eating vegetables? Because I taste salad.”
Ember embarrassed said, “I was eating lunch and it was my salad day. I was wondering if you were free tonight?”
Spike excitedly replied, “Yeah, I’m free tonight just want to know what you want me to wear. Like business casual or formal.”
Ember grinned and said, “Come in a tuxedo and I’ll come in a dress.”
Spike responded, “Alright, but where do you want me to meet you?”
Ember replied, “We will meet next to Lava Lake and go from there.”
Spike, beaming, responded, “It’s a date then.”
Spike got up and before he left looked at Ember and held out his hand. Ember, confused, grabbed his hand and Spike lifted her up and kissed her hand and gave Ember a gentle smile.

Spike walking to the guest room saw Garble about to knock on the door. Spike in a louder tone said, “Hi Garble, what can I do for you?”
Garble in a sad tone replied, “I just wanted to apologize for all the crap I put you through when you were younger.”
Spike, surprised, responded, “It’s ok dude. No need to apologize.”
Garble and Spike talked for a couple of minutes outside Spike's door.
Spike after talking to Garble went in and saw Mason sitting in a chair sleeping. Spike blew smoke into Mason’s ear and made Mason flinch awake. Mason putting his hand on his ear to cover it.

Mason, angry, asked, “What? That's rude dude!”
Spike chuckled and replied, “Do you have a tuxedo I can borrow or not?”
Mason, looking confused, got out of his chair and held out his arm. Mason pretending to hold an invisible hanger above his held-out arm. Mason lowered his held-out arm and raised the invisible hanger and slowly a tuxedo started appearing on an invisible hanger. Mason, after making the tuxedo appear with magic, looked at Spike and said, “Do you wear shoes or no?”
Spike, looking at his feet, replied, “I don’t think I need to, but I can I guess.”

Mason used magic to steam the tuxedo in a bubble and used magic to make adjustments to the tux to match Spike's height and build. While also magically straightening and pressing the tuxedo.
Mason looked at Spike’s toes and shrugged. That's when dress shoes fell out from under Mason’s shirt. Mason put a cleansing bubble around the dress shoes to make them not stink. Mason took a couple of hours to prep the tux and make it magically capable of being completely lava and fire resistant. Spike put on the tux and dress shoes and headed out to Lava Lake.

Spike walking was starting to feel butterflies. Spike, not paying attention, heard a voice in his head. The Voice said, “Relax little dragon and feel the ancient blood flowing through you.”
Spike, thinking, replied, “Who is in my head?”
The Voice responded, “I’m your ancestor or really just you. I know you're probably wondering, why now and why here? The more you spend time in Dragon Land the more you can hear my voice and after you fully awaken you can hear my voice at anytime and anywhere.”

Spike accidently bumped into a boulder which was next to the entrance to Lava Lake. Spike finally focused and the two guards looked at Spike with confusion.
Spike, trying to play it off, said, “Sorry, I was focused on my next workout.”
The left dragon guard replied, “State your name and what business you have with Queen Embe…….”
Ember, interrupting the dragon guard, retorted, “It’s ok, Spike can enter.”

Spike, walking next to Ember, asked, “So, what’s your plan for this date?”
Ember replied, “I just wanted to have a picnic and help you unlock your full ancestral bloodline.”
Spike now looked at Ember's dress and said, “You look lovely if I might add and what about the Lovers duel. I want to try something if you're interested. But we can try it after.”
Ember responded, “Well thank you and my advisors were never going to make us fight, of course. I’m ok to try whatever you want as long as it's nothing too bad.”

Spike looked at the picnic table and the Bloodstone Scepter lying next to it. Spike walked up to the chair and as Ember sat down Spike pushed her chair in for her. Ember pulling out the food and drinks. Spike, sitting down and enjoying the view, asked, “Are you enjoying the throne?”
Ember, frowned a little, replied, “I thought I would enjoy the power, but I realized it's not so fun.”
Spike said, “Well, grass is always greener on the other side I guess.”

Ember and Spike were talking and eating for a few hours. Spike looked into Ember’s eyes and started leaning in for a kiss. Ember realizing what was happening she closed her eyes and leaned in for the kiss as well. Spike and Ember met lip to lip and that's when they started playing tonsil hockey. Ember, leaning back from Spike and breathing heavily, asked, “Do you want to start the awakening of the ancestral bloodline?”
Spike replied, “Yeah, we can do that now.”

Ember grabbed the Bloodstone Scepter and activated the orb. That's when the scepter shined a bright light and that's when Spike, after blocking his eyes from the light, saw a distorted world around him and was naked.
Spike looked around and heard the voice say, “Behind you my dragonling.”
Spike turned around and saw a cooler version of himself with spikes coming out of certain parts that were bone white and with pure blood color scales. The ancestor greeted Spike saying, “My name is Thorn the Great Dragon King!”
Spike, in awe, replied, “Will I look like you?”
Thorn, smiled, responded, “No I’m not the only bloodline in here.”

Another voice said, “Oh good, he's here finally!”
Spike turned around and saw a royal neon purple female dragon. The female dragon said, “Hello Spike, I’m Lotan your Ancestor or The Rainbow Flame Dragon Queen!”
Spike, wondering, asked, “Is one of those trials where I can only pick one of you ancestors to follow?”
The King and Queen laughed and said at the same time, “No, you will learn how to harness the powers of both because the blood of both is what flows through you.”

Spike asked, “Well how long will it take?”
Thorn replied, “It will only take several decades in the orb.”
Spike, scared, retorted, “I don’t have that kind of time!”
Lotan, giggled, responded, “Don’t worry you’ll only be unconscious for a few minutes out in the real world. But in the orb, you will be here for a hundred years.”
Spike nodded in approval and responded, “Ok, then let's do it. When do you want to start?”
The King and Queen looked at each other and said, “Right now!”

Ember Looked at Spike and back at the scepter and realized she couldn’t stop the flow of energy coming out of it which scared her as she watched as his body started changing every minute. Spike's green scales changed to red, and the purple scales started glowing neon purple and purple neon flames started coming out of his shoulder spikes. Spike woke up and, in that moment, deformed back to his original self. Spike excitedly grabbed Ember like he hadn’t seen her in a long time. Spike said, “It’s so great to see you again and look at what a beautiful dress you are in.”

Ember, confused, and scared, replied, “What are you talking about? We were on a date, and I was going to help you awaken.”
Spike, realizing what was happening, responded, “Sorry, I was in there for a long time.”
Ember said, “You were only supposed to be there for a little over several months.”
Spike, confused, replied, “I was in there for at least a hundred years.”
Ember, saddened, responded, “You must have gone crazy?”
Ember looked at the Bloodstone Scepter and noticed it had changed to a darker red mixed black as if the Bloodstone was drained from the ritual.

Spike looked into Ember's eyes and grabbed her waist and lifted her off the ground. Spike holding Ember and flapping his wings over the lava. Spike held out one of his hands so Ember would grab it. Ember grabbed Spike's hand and was confused. Spike flying was slow dancing with Ember in the air above lava lake. Ember after slow dancing, embraced Spike. No words were said, it was just a nice moment between each other. Spike slowly landed on the ground with Ember and said, “I will marry you. But I have to help Mason so will you wait for me.”

Ember, still hugging Spike, said, “I will Spike, and I want you to know. If any female tries to take you from me. I’ll kill them, get it.”
Spike replied, “Like any female can tempt me when I’m going to marry the Queen of the Dragons.”
Spike kissed Ember on her hand and said, “Mason and I are leaving in a couple of days. I was wondering if you wanted me to come to your bed and show you my transformation and its many “benefits”.” Spike in a seductive tone whispered into Ember's ear. Ember grabbed Spike’s hand and flustered nodded in approval and walked Spike to her Queen bedroom.

Mason, after cleaning and steaming the tuxedo, went back to meditating. Mason entered the puppet golem he created to still rule the Griffon Kingdom. Discord waiting for Mason to enter the golem. Mason, looking around and saw Discords face, and said, “You look like shit.”
Discord with bags under his eyes gave Mason a frustrated look and replied, “The baby is killing me. He cries in two different worlds: my Chaos Dimension and the crib in Fluttershy's house.”
Mason responded, “Welcome to Fatherhood buddy. What did I miss?”

Discord replied, “Not much the Political hall Griffon’s came with another law they wanted to talk to you about.”
Mason said, “What law was it?”
Discord trying to remember what they said, replied, “Some law about the military budget and the technologies division.”
Mason stood up and said, “Have them pick a time and date and I’ll use the puppet golem to go to the meeting time.”
Discord said, “10, 4 my buddy.”

Mason stopped meditating and transferred back to his mind palace where he met Eversor. Mason sat on the grass hill and watched the beautiful sky. Eversor on the opposite side of the tree, asked, “You think Spike’s alright. He seemed nervous.”
Mason smiled and replied, “I trust his abilities and his knowledge. Spike was always more street smart than book smart. Plus if he were a real bro he would never fumble a dragon queen. My guess is he's plowing that field like a man right now!"
Eversor nodded and said, “So, when do you plan to absorb full fuse me into you by any chance?”
Mason, frowned, responded, “I'm waiting for something to happen."

Eversor looked at the clouds and said, “Just get it over with.”
Mason stood up and put his hand on Eversor’s shoulder. Eversor slowly faded and entered Mason’s body. Mason exited his mind and laid on the bed and passed out. Mason not dreaming of anything and waking up in the morning feeling like shit.

Mason looked around and wondered out loud, “Where the hell is Spike.”
Spike entered the room Mason and him were staying in with loose clothes and his shoes off. Mason looked at Spike and asked, “Where were you man?”
Spike replied, “I awakened the ancestral blood in my body and now I think Ember and I hit it off really well.”
Mason, now smelling sweat and the other thing that comes with spending the night in the same bed. Mason, impressed, said, “You hit something off Spike, you dirty dragon. I can't believe you hit a homerun in one night.”
Spike blew smoke out his nose and replied, “Well, I know you said not to, but I couldn’t help it.”
Mason stood up and grabbed Spike’s shoulders and shook his head. Mason said, “Spike, I’m not mad. I approve of it, my guy. I know Sweetie Belle wasn’t faithful, so I think you deserve the win.”
Spike and Mason both smiled and Mason said, “Now, go take a shower you smell like sweat and spunk and it's giving me a headache. Plus, I’m pretty sure you didn’t zip your pants and your dick is hanging out.”
Spike looked down and embarrassed moved suddenly to zip it up and, replied, “HOLY SHIT! That’s embarrassing I hope nobody saw my dick?”
Mason replied, “If they did they wouldn’t be anything but jealous plus the others should be at the temple now and waiting for us to teleport. We will leave tomorrow in the morning so just chill today and spend time with Ember.”

A FEW HOURS LATER

Mason walked with Spike down the hall to the throne room. Mason asks questions about his time in the orb unlocking his ancestral blood.
Spike said, “I had more than one ancestor with a royal bloodline.”
Mason, not looking at Spike, replied, “Oh, I know.”
Spike in a surprised tone, said, “I… Wait, you know, how?”

Mason replied, “I’m the one who looked at your DNA remember.”
Spike putting the clues together nodded in thought. Mason shook his head and said, “It still confuses me why you didn’t have an intellectual dragon ancestor.”
Mason opened the throne room doors and saw Ember standing.

Mason looked at Spike and winked and asked, “Dragon Queen, I request a meeting on some of the topics of the awakening of Spike's ancestral bloodline to get a full grasp of the Dragon Staff's power.”
Ember replied, “I agree and would like to hold this in my private meeting room.”
Mason and Spike followed Ember to the meeting room which only took a minute to get to. Mason sat down first and gestured to Ember who was standing. Ember, flustered, said, “I’ll stand for the time being due to unforeseen complications.”

Spike looked at Mason, still looking at Ember, hiding his smile. Mason inside his mind was laughing. Ember coughed and said, “Where should I start?”
Mason, holding it together, replied, “The orb's power on the Dragon Staff is a pretty good start.”
Ember, annoyed, said, “It’s called the Bloodstone Scepter, not a dragon staff.”
Mason, unimpressed, said, “Ok my bad but now we need to awaken your bloodline, Queen Ember.”

Ember, confused, asked, “How?”
Mason replied, “I need one of your scales.”
Ember handed Mason her scale and Mason scanning it realized. Ember, scared, said, “What is it? Can I awaken my blood or not?”
Mason, chuckled, replied, “I can but I need the Bloodstone Scepter. So, I can write the appropriate runes and use the Bloodstone as a medium.”

Ember hesitantly handed Mason the Scepter and Mason looked at the Bloodstone and noticed the discoloration of the stone. Mason pricked his finger and wrote a rune on it. The Bloodstone quickly turned bright blood red and Mason got to work in writing the runes and placed the Scepter in the energy medium slot. Spike watched in silence and gave Ember a reassuring nod as Ember looked at Spike nervously. Mason said a chant in dragon tongue that both Ember and Spike understood. Ember, confused, saw Mason run out of the room fast and almost instantly the rune spell activated and both hell and heavenly fire started to engulf Ember. Ember being put in a cocoon of both hellfire and heavenly fire started to solidify.

Spike didn’t move and just watched without even being bothered by the flames. Mason walked back in and slowly added more runes and that's when the Bloodstone Scepter turned into a darker red color and shot a red liquid on Ember’s cocoon. Ember came out of the cocoon with a more voluptuous body and a purplish-blue scale on her dragon body.

Mason asked, “Queen Ember, you ok.”
Ember, in a sexier tone, replied, “I am but I want Spike and me to have some alone time for the rest of the day.”
Mason almost immediately left without saying anything. Mason walked up to Garble and said, “Don’t enter that room if you want to live a wholesome life ok.”
Garble, confused, replied, “My job is to be a guard.”
Moaning and dragon roaring could be heard from Mason’s spot. Mason looked at Garble and looked back at Mason. That’s when Mason put a silence rune on the door. Garble looked at the door and heard silence which relieved him. That’s when Garble nodded in approval to Mason and Mason gave him a thumbs up.

Mason went back to his room and passed out due to the exhaustion of reactivating the Bloodstone. Mason in the dream world saw Luna and Twilight talking and Luna showing Twilight what she does for a living. Mason, ran over to them excited and, said, “Hey! Luna and Twilight guess what?”

Author's Note

It was fun writing but I'm going on a bit of hiatuses. Because I need some me time (even tho i pretty much do my own thing really)
