Chapter One – Spike’s Gemstone Hunting Trip (Unedited)

Chapter One – Spike’s Gemstone Hunting Trip

Spike walked with a mining helmet and a wooden basket to his favorite gemstone-rich cave. Before going into the cave, he turned on his helmet’s light. Its light crystal shot out an array of white light like a flashlight. He completely ignored checking walls for any gems. Because He and yearly miners cleaned out everything near the entrance, he unexpectedly saw many creatures near the cave opening that usually inhabited deeper underground caverns.

Spike thought that they moved to this location to get food easier. Their eyes shined when he put his light on them while they cuddled up with each other. There were bats, lizards, insects, and other life forms that he had not seen before. He just walked past them in deeper of the cave without them bothering him all. After a couple of minutes later, Spike finally reached his secret spot that it was blessed with lots of tasty gemstones.

When he shined his light in front of him, the walls, ground, and ceiling sparkled like a starry night. There were garnets, rubies, topazes, and other exotic gems everywhere in this area. Spike drooled to the ground from his excitement as his eyes grew super wide like a foal was in a candy shop. He greedily started to fill his basket with gems that were bent into the ground. His powerful claws had no issue with getting gemstones from their rocky prisons. He did not notice a skeleton was in the farthest corner in this area that closely watched him.

After a few moments of watching him, it hatched a clever plan in its nonexistent mind to get Spike to fall into its trap. It found the most enormous and shiny gemstone that it would find. Then it cast an influential want spell on the gem to increase the effectiveness of its bait. Now, it was a waiting game for the skeleton’s newest victim to take the bait.

Spike put the last gem to fill his basket to its full capacity. In the corner of his eye, he saw the hugest and shinest gemstone that his eyes ever laid on was at one of the corners of the cave. The wanting feeling quickly consumed him to collect the motherload of a gem. He slowly walked toward it with his drool pouring out from his mouth. Meanwhile, the skeleton took one of its sharp ribs from his chest with the pure black liquid all over it, which would use this body part to wound and infect the little dragon with a nasty disease. It just needed to wait for the perfect time to strike.

After a couple of moments later, Spike entered its attack range while reaching the crystal with one of his hands. The skeleton slashed both of his legs open and cast a knockout spell on him with a single swift movement. He passed out from its magic and fell in front of it with a nasty thud. Lucky, his mining helmet saved him from having a concussion. Spike’s body did not land into the pool of the black liquid. This direction of his fall was one of the steps in the skeleton's master plan. It reassembled its body and put its rib back like a jigsaw puzzle.

Then it returned all of the rotting texture liquid into its chest container before sealing up the canister. There were a lot of aminals’ bones were revealed when the fluid was removed. They were remainings of their owners that unfortunately fell in this substance. The living skeleton stepped on some of them as it made the way to Spike. They were crushed and made a cracking sound under its hooves. The skeleton was not bothered by the new noise that it made.

The cracking echoes lingered in the cavern as it moved Spike on his back with its magic. Then it closely inspected his legs’ wounds and gave a silent approval to them. There were nasty slashes below his knees that the virus quickly turned his blood into a mess of black rotting substance.

The only thing for the skeleton to do is the final step of its master plan. It easily teleported itself, Spike, and his stuff to the entrance of the cave. Then it materialized an emergency flare gun from existence and fired it into the sky before returning to its ambush spot. The flare glowed up a blight red and attracted more victims for its owner to infect them with the virus.

Chapter Three – In Urgent Care and Slow Recovery

Spike slowly woke up from the restful somber. The first sound that his ears pick up. It was a repetitively and annoying beeping from a machine. The blinding white light caused him to cover his eyes with his arm. He didn’t know where he was. The warm feeling poked him to ask for Flitter.

“Flitter, are you here?” He inquired with a dried tone as his eyes steadily adjusted to the light. After Flitter heard Spike asking for her, she instinctly woke up from her nap.

“Sweetie, you finally wake up. I was so worried about losing you,” She replied with a happy smile after getting out of the chair and lightly hugging her sweetheart. Then she showered him with a lot of quick kisses.

“You will not lose me easily, Flitter. Anyways, what are this place and annoying beeping sound? Can I have a drink of water, please?” He inquired, enjoying her affection.

“Yup, I know that. We are at the Ponyvile hospital because you had a nasty infection in your legs. Unfortunately, they had to remove them in order to save you. The sound is your heartbeat monitor. Sure, you can,”

Flitter walked out of the room to get him what he asked for. Spike’s eyes finally adjusted to the light. He saw him was in a hospital patient room and hooked up with multiple health monitoring machines. Then he looked under blankets to find out stubby and bandaged limbs instead of his legs.

“Flitter and I can make this work,” Spike thought as he was such relief not to have died from this unfortunate incident. After a few moments later, Flitter came back with a cold foam cup of water. She sat beside his bed and guided the straw into his mouth. He sucked out all of the refreshing liquid.

“Thanks, Flitter. I needed that,” He thanked with an energizing sign as she put down the empty cup with a straw on the nightstand.

“No problem, sweetie,”

The mare doctor walked into the room.

“Spike, you finally awake. Are you experiencing any pain below your hips?” She inquired with a warm smile.

“Nope,” He acquired as Flitter rubbed his claw with her hoof.

“Excellent, I am glad to hear that. You are fortunate to survive. One of our head surgeons exclaimed that she did not see this infection before. Anyways, you guys can go home in a few weeks. I will see you guys later, goodbye,”

The doctor exited the room to do her duty. Flitter and Spike were alone with each other. He noticed him getting cold.

“Sweetie, I am cold. Can you cuddle with me? Also, you turned off the lights, please?” Spike asked, giving Flitter his adorable puppy eyes expression.

“Aaaaaawwwwwwww, sure. Spike,” Flitter replied before going to the light switch and turning off the lights. Then she went back and carefully crawled on him.

“Am I hurting you?”

“Nah, I thought we cuddle in our favorite cuddle position. But, this is fine,” Spike exclaimed honestly, rubbing her back. She gave him a lidded look and a kiss as a gift for her massage

“Same here. I am afraid to move you anywhere due to your body is still healing from your emergency surgery.” She acquired while her wings covered him like a big blanket.

Spike and Flitter enjoyed themselves and fell asleep in each other’s warm embrace. The hospital staff checked on the interspecies couple without disturbing them during the night.

After a few weeks of sleeping a lot and boredom, the doctor slowly unwrapped Spike’s gauze to check on his healing process.

“Amazing, your stumps are nearly healed without any scars that I could see. In one week, you guys can go home and enjoy your lives,” The doctor exclaimed with a smile before wrapping Spike’s stubs with fresh gauze.

“Finally, we are bored out of our minds,” Spike replied with a tiny emerald green flame coming out of his mouth.

“Yup, we need well worthed private time with each other. Do you catch my drift?” Flitter added as she looked at Spike with lidded eyes. He did the same to her.

“Yes, and I relate. I will see you guys in one week to check his recovery process. Goodbye,” The doctor farewelled with a sweet smile before leaving the room.

A few moments later, Flitter closed the door and turned off the lights. Then she flew back to her sweetie.

“I am amazed that she did not ask how you are healing fast,” Flitter said with a slight giggle, climbing on the top of Spike.

“Same here; If she asks, I was going to say that because of a lot of sleeping and drinking my sweetie’s milk,” Spike replied honestly as he embraced her.

“Exactly,”

She passionately kissed on his lips while her feathery wings covered him like a cocoon.

The End

Prologue (Unedited)

Prologue

A shadowy portal appeared in a cave. The magic that kept closing slowly began to separate and absorb everything’s atoms as a black hole would. All of life around it did not understand and know that they were dying until it was too late. After a few minutes of the portal stabilized itself, a group of pony skeletons with metal liquid canisters in their chests came out of it. Then the portal closed and vanished from existence by its magic ate it.

Skeletons immediately started to follow their master’s order like robots. Each of them went in separate directions from each other to have a greater chance of fulfilling their creator’s wishes. Any creatures in their path would not dare to make any sound and quickly retreated from the living bones because they sensed skeletons’ intense evil aura. After a while of walking, carcasses found good spots to wait for their prey. They opened their liquid canisters up before dismantling themselves into piles of bones. A pure black liquid steady bobbed out of the containers and half engulfed their bones. Now, it was a waiting game for any pony that was too foolish or unlucky to fall in their trap. They got all-time in the world to complete their mission due to it was their purpose.

Chapter Two – Flitter’s After Work Surprise

Flitter just completed her last strip dance for her shift. She teasingly blew a kiss to horny males and lesbians that watched her. Then she picked up her sexy outfit off from the stage before leaving to her dressing room. Her fans cheered and tried to bride for her with their bits to do one more show. However, their voices fell on deaf ears due to she wanted to get out of there.

“Flitter, a hospital nurse, is here to see you about Spike,” Her boss exclaimed, waiting by her room’s door.

“Wrong is wrong with him?” Flitter asked with a wave of concern on her face as she quickly flew to them.

“Now, Spike is in surgery to amputate both of his legs to save his life from an infection,” The nurse replied as she placed her hat at her chest. Flitter’s eyes became teary over bad news about her boyfriend. Flitter dropped her strip outfit on the floor and flew out of her work while starting to cry. She made it to the Ponyvile Hospital in a record time that Rainbow Dash would be jealous of.

Flitter went to the emergency room front desk while tears were coming down from her face.

“Is Spike going to be okay?” She asked between sobs.

“Unfortunately, I don't know anything, Flitter, sorry. But, I'll get you when I know anything,” The nurse at the desk acquired with her soft voice.

“Thank you,”

Flitter went to the farthest and vacant spot in the room. Then she slowly collapsed on the floor while beginning to cry. Her tears ruined her make-up. Her prays to Luna were the only sounds in the er.

“Luna, please.....,”

Meanwhile, the surgery team successfully removed one of Spike’s legs. One of the surgeons’ assistants magically put the leg into a biohazard bag in a nurse’s magic.

“All of the time since I am a surgeon. I didn't see an infection like this,” The head surgeon exclaimed aloud before starting the process of removing his patient’s other leg.

“Me neither,” Another staff replied.

After a couple of hours later, the head surgeon came in the emergency room to deliver good news to Flitter. She walked to her. Flitter was sleeping in a tight ball on the floor. When she touched her, Flitter shot up from her sleep and looked to the head surgeon.

“Sorry for frightening you, Flitter. Spike is going to be okay. However, he lost both of his legs from an infection. He is so lucky too. You can see him now if you want to,” The surgeon acquired with a comforting smile while helping her up from the ground.

“Thanks for saving my sweetie. Can you take me to him, please?” She asked with big, bloodshot, and puffy eyes.

“Welcome, and I can,”
