After hearing their story the mare sat in thought before taking off her helmet, revealing her Rainbow mane. "So even my lunar guard self is protecting Equestria over following foolish orders." She sighed. Before looking at the map. "If what you said is true… there is a better chance that he'd avoid the volcano. It's too dangerous. However… reports of ponies on your list in that area have been reported. As well as… other things."
"Other things?" Applejack asked, raising an eyebrow at her.
"Hard to say. But reports talk about two legged things." Rainbow replied flatly.
Twilight and Applejack shared a nervous glance as Fluttershy looked up at the mountain. "I have a bad feeling about that place. Any pony that goes up there won't come back alive."
"If there's a chance one of our friends are there. I have to go." Twilight announced. "You two can wait here if you want."
"And how do you plan on getting out?" Rainbow asked.
"Simple." Twilight replied with a smile. "Teleportation."
"I'll stay. That place looks too scary." Fluttershy whimpered.
"I'll keep her company. I reckon I'd be more helpful here." Applejack added.
Thinking for a moment Rainbow turned to an off gray mare. "Mod will go with you." She said as Mod came over with a nod. "She'll lead you as close as possible and guard your exit."
Twilight smiled and nodded. "Knowing I have Pinkie's sister watching my back. I know we'll be safe."
"You know my sister?" Mod asked.
Twilight nodded and moved up next to her. "I'll tell you about it on the way."
Spike sighs as he makes his way around the corner and froze at the sight of a cat-like two legged guy dancing in the middle of the street with what looked like a strange looking female. What was even odder was an earth pony with failure colors.
Spike's eyes widened in shock and fear. He didn't know what was going on but if she was here. Then there was a chance his other friends were here.
"Rainbow?" He called as he started to make his way over.
Looking back she froze and let out a scream, causing the others to stop and look over. Surprisingly the girl was the calmest of the three. Stepping in front of the others she got in a defensive stance. "Hold it you two… it looks familiar." She said softly.
"What do you mean Megan?" The cat asked.
The girl called Megan stepped closer to Spike and grabbed hold of her pendant. "His colors look familiar. But he's a lot bigger than before and he sounds different." She replied. Taking a deep breath before speaking to the large dragon. "What's your name? And why are you here?"
"Name's Spike." He replied to the shock of the girl. "I'm looking for my friends."
"Spike?..." Megan repeated. "I thought you were a lot smaller… and timid."
"I was." He replied with a smile. "But I take it, you're talking about a different Spike. Because I have never met you before." He thought for a moment. "I guess you're from a different timeline."
"That would explain a few things darling." Rainbow sighed, having finally calmed down long enough to talk.
Hearing his normally tough mare talking like a high class mare caught him off guard. "Talking about being different."
"What do you mean by that, darling?"
"A lot of things." He replied. "The only thing that's the same other than your name is your color."
"Really? What is this other me like, darling?"
Spike shivered. "For starters she doesn't talk like you."
"Let me guess. She asks like she's a tough girl?" The cat laughs.
"Actually… yes." Spike replied with a smile. "She's amazing, attractive, top notch flier-"
"You have a crush on her. Don't you?" The cat teased as the mare and girl blushed.
Spike blinked and blushed. "I guess I do…" He admitted as he mentally went over everything he did with both Rainbow Dashs. He took a deep breath and looked at Rainbow for a moment before sighing and turned to walk away. "I'm sorry. You just remind me of a different mare too much."
The cat looked between them before grabbing Spike's arm. "Hold up. This other mare wouldn't happen to be a white unicorn that is skilled with making outfits… would she?"
"She is. Why do you ask?"
The cat smiled at Megan as she nodded. "I know where she is." She said walking up to him. "I'll show you where she is… But you might not like it."
Spike smiled and shrugged. "Let's hope things go well then." He sighed before following the girl down the street.
Rounding the corner, Spike froze at the sight of a creepy looking mansion. Standing outside was the cat. "Wait… how did he?..."
"Magic." Megan laughed. "The mare is inside."
Spike shivered as he approached and the cat opened the door. "Ummm… ladies first?" Spike suggested nervously."
"A big guy like you. Scared of a harmless house?" Megan giggled.
"No… it's just… creepy spiders that live in freaking old mansions, castles and other old places like that." He explained.
"Don't worry." The cat laughs. "She keeps the place tidy. The spiders actually help her."
Spike gulped as he entered moments before his jaw dropped followed by him hitting the floor.
Author's Note
I wonder which group is going to fill first. Spike or Twilight? Lol then again. Spike will have a few things he'll have to get past first it seems.
