Origins - Multidimensional Bite

As the sun shined bright on another day in Equestria with a slight glitch made itself present for a second in the sky.

Somewhere near an ever present town of Ponyville, in the outskirts of the Everfree Forest a small glitch broke a into a small portal that appears just big enough for a small black spider to slip through.

Once it got it's bearings it head towards the simple town.

Light shined into the Golden Oak Library's bedroom, a purple pony awoke with a yawn and then towards her attention to the aroma coming from down stairs.

"Spike!" Twilight called out

Heading down stairs to find her dragon assistant.

"Spike!" She called again trying to find where he has was.

"Now where has that dragon gone to." Twilight ponders to herself as she sets her eyes on the stack of freshly made pancakes on her desk with a note beside it.

She went over to her desk and picked up the note with her magic.

'Gone out for a supply run be back soon, Love Spike'

Running through town with a full bag, heading to through town then getting spotted by 3 familiar young pony friends of his.

"Hi Spike!" The three young girls exclaimed.

"Hey Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom." Spike waved to the girls

"How goes it." Scootaloo asked

"Just finished going on a supply run," Spike answered pointing attention to his bag.

"How about you three." Spike inquired.

"Our class just back from Canterlot-" Sweetie Belle replied before Apple Bloom cut in.

"-And wondering how we're start our essays." She added on dismally.

"How'd you three get into that mess?" Spike questioned with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh they had a big fight." Snips answered as he and Snails entered the conversation.

"Seriously?" Spike asked surprised at the three.

The three were red-faced.

"Um-" Scootaloo remarked.

"-Well-" Apple Bloom uttered.

"It uhh wasn't our proudest moment as friends." Sweetie Belle commented.

"Uh-huh." The two girls concurred.

"To think it was all started from a weird looking statue." Snails stated.

"Well-" Apple Bloom starting of the thought.

"-It didn't really start with the statue." Sweetie Belle continued as Scootaloo finished their thought.

"We were just in a really bad mood this morning for having to get up so early to the train to Canterlot."

"Ok,but what were you talking about a statue Snails?" Spike questioning him.

" It made out of these different creatures called the-uhhh." Snails stalled to remembered with Snips just answering for him.

"A Draconaquis"

"I never heard a creature with that name." Spike pondering on the name.

"It was super creepy." Scootaloo slightly shivering in fear for a second

"Well at least you have nothing to worry about now." Spike attempting to calm her down.

"Why, are you going to protect us mister dragon knight?" Sweetie Belle jokingly questioned

"Try to win Miss Rarity's heart along the way." Apple Bloom adding on with everyone laughing excepting Spike with a deadpanned expression.

"Ha ha ha its so funny, shoving an old crush back in my face." Spike retorted with another laugh from the rest of them.

"Man, Looking back at it I was kind of a numbskull" Spike gave in with a slight.

"No, just-blinded by love" Sweetie Belle said ending with a regel accent receiving a laugh from all of them.

"Well I better get back to the Library so I can stop feeling like I'm carrying a ton of bricks,I'll see you guys later" Spike saying farewell to his friends.

"Later, Spike" They all said.

Spike as walking up to the door of the Golden Oak Library, only to make it to the door get knocked over by it opening with Twilight rushing out holding a book with her magic, seeing Spike as she made it outside she called out to him to....

"Spike, we got to go the Apple's ranch" She said frantically.

"Why, what's going on?" Spike questioned while she was slightly twilighting

"The fields and the sky have been tampered with," Twilight explained

"But my failsafe spell should help fix things." Twilight said with sudden confidence in herself

"Ok, lead the-" Spike said before he saw Twilight going without him.

Spike groaned before quickly dropping his bag inside the library and trying to follow Twilight.

They arrived to see cotton candy clouds raining chocolate milk with Rainbow Dash manage them all and Pinkie Pie trying to collect all of the chocolate milk in her mouth, fields of corn popping itself into popcorn with Applejack stuck in a pile of popcorn with Rarity wearing her own form of Rain gear to protect herself, and Rabbits with abnormally long stick like leg with other animals trying to eat oversized apples that are hold down the trees with Fluttershy trying to contain them all with no luck.

"Don't worry everyone, I've learned a new spell that will fix everything" Twilight reassured as she it into effect blinding everything with light to that it did....absolutely nothing.

"My failsafe spell...failed." Twilight said surprised.

"What do we do?" Twilight said as she turned Spike

"Uhh go on a lunch break, I mean theirs a lot of popcorn to go around." Spike said factitiously with Twilight glowering at him.

"Oh now Spike, Twilight will come up with something." Rarity coming into the conversion aand giving her umbrella to Twilight.

Twilight pondered for a second before getting Rainbow Dash to gather all of the clouds for Applejack to pull them down to the ground while making Fluttershy trick the other animals into feasting on the chocolate milk filled cotton candy clouds with Pinkie Pie complaining about them shutting her out.

"And when y'all are done that feel free to have some popcorn for dessert." Applejack said with content of a job well done.

"You see, Spike you should never give up theirs nothing we can't overcome if we all work together." Twilight said with hope.

"Wow,I don't know which is more cornier, the literal mounds of popcorn or that speech." Spike remarked with all the mare staring at him before he felt something burning in his stomach and belched out a letter from Princess Celestia.

"Come on girls, Princess Celestia wants to see us all in Canterlot Immediately." Twilight said with concern in her voice.

"Ok well I guess we-and I'm alone." Spike said as he came to the realization that they ran off without him.

"Uhhggg!!" Spike groaned.

"This is getting old with them" Spike said expressing his frustrations but then he heard thunder coming from Ponyville.

"Oh man, my friends!" Spike said voicing his concerns back in Ponyville.

Right then he ran into town to see what was going on.

He had trouble getting town with it turn into something that can be slipped on ranging from soap to condiments to pools of water.(Which he used to wash the pervious situations off of him) he spent a whole hour trying to reach back to town to which have been turned into the chaos capital with ponies running from random chaos from every turn before he say his friends watching all of the chaos on the edge of down,he went over to them put was blinded when the Moon turned up and blinded him,to which a black spider have spotted Spike from within the dark and crawled up his leg all the way to his neck,all the while Spike been wondering what was touching him but it was to late when he felt a stabbing on the back of his neck and felt like he was in the center of the earth with him sweating and felling like was going to die he fell over alerting his friends of his presence and raced over to him but all said was lost on him as he slipped into darkness.

Author's Note

Well this have been fun to write,of coarse I want to hear all of your responses on how my story sounded to you all because I am a first time writer and this is my first story within this new adventure I have set myself upon,so critic me any way you all see fit but just make it constructive and not be outright mean.

So I've personally tried to renew Spike's character other than the comic relief and given him sort of a circle of friends so he can have more relatability and try to improve him to make this character work more with the role of Spider-Man and his personal character and to improve the over arcing story as well.

Please don't expect me to post almost everyday because this alone took a whole few hours into the day and I've just finished from a long trip from home and I'm exhasted already but I'm not quitting this story or any of my future stories or anything just don't expect them on the daily(I'm still in school for Goodness sake).

Also if there are any artists there,please contact me I'm trying to get other coverart for Spider-Man/Spike and other stories and until next time byeeeee.

Origins - Waking Dreams

Flashback...

"Y'know ever since I can remember,life's always treated me as the butt of it's joke.."

A little infant dragon was being carried through Canterlots streets with a gasping audience being shocked about the 'horrid' sight being casted with comments like...

"Eww,What's that little beast doing in our city."

"And what's it doing without a leash."

"Ugh,I'm getting sick just by look at it!"

"It's sick..cruel joke."

"To be treated like something lower than what you are already are...a living creature."

A little more grown Spike was serving many ponies at once on hand and foot dressed as a little butler with Princess Celestia being in the center.

"To serve on a creature with all of your being and just be granted just that single grain of respect just make me feel like I shouldn't have been born. "

"...Then when I felt it all changed,when it felt like I belonged,when things in my life felt at ease to finally let my guard down-"

The baby dragon was now being liked,feeling loved when settled in the town of Ponyville feeling like everything was really going his way.

"-So much that it changes you...."

The Dragon became compliant,so wrapped out with a crowd in a quest for trying be like them,quick picked up their 'bad habits' someone unlike himself,between him trying to giving part in an the accusation against someone unlike the creatures that surround him daily going to unbelievable stakes just for the sake of jealously,blinding himself to the reality of the situation he thought was friendship....

...and love

"For me it felt perfect until that supposed very special night was a eye opener to me in more ways than one."

The Grand Galloping Gala

"....It was like my childhood all over again....how I felt like the only creature in the this world...but it wasn't the only thing that came from that night."

"I say all of my mistakes reflected back on me and what I have turned into....and also I found that all that wishing,pretending for what I thought was friendship="

"-was-"

"-just what I've been doing-"

"-my whole life...."

After that night Spike knew that he couldn't be the same dragon he turned into but luckily this time he wasn't alone thanks to three rays of life in his darkness.

SSSSPPPIIKKKEEE!!!

Author's Note

Ok,this is kind of diving a little deep into the hidden lore I have added to Spike past.

If you haven't already got it,Spike was in a kind off a lucid dream recounting his life due to him being knocked unconscious from the spider bite but we'll get to the real world in the next chapter.

Once again if anyone has any constructive criticism for me because once again I'm new to fimfiction and writing like this in general and I'm learning.

Also reaching out to any good artists for coverart for my future Scaled Webhead stories and future stories that I have to establish in the future.

See you guys next time!!!
:)

Origins - A Uniquely Sticky Situation

"Spike!!" The CMC screamed as they stood before him.

"Ugghh my head" Spike thought as he felt a splitting headache through his head as he took a minute to recollect himself. "What happened?" Spike asked as he tried to think back to before everything went dark.

"Well...Ponyville was kind of the capital of chaos for a few seconds there," Scootaloo said as she recalled what had happened to Ponyville in that short time when Sweetie Belle picked up where she left off.

"and after everything went dark we say you passed out on in the grass - something that used to be grass - with bite marks below your neck." Sweetie Belle said with unease as Apple Bloom picked up where her two best friends left off.

"Snips and Snails helped us carry you someplace safe with everything being...well weird, but they need to go find their families." Apple Bloom bringing an end to the explanation.

"....and where are we now?" Spike weakly asked as he looked around.

"Well we were too far to get to Scootaloo's aunt's house and with the farm spouting nonsense from every single angle they only place we could carry you with the least chaos was Sweetie Belle's house." Apple Bloom conveyed as she moved to the side a little bit to show Spike, Sweetie Belle's room.

Spike tried to stand up for a few moments but stumbled until Apple Bloom and Scootaloo held both of his arms with their front hooves to try to keep him from falling to the ground, while that was all happening Sweetie Belle went downstairs to get some water for Spike.

"Easy there, we didn't get try to get you better just so you could fall back down again." Scootaloo remarked as she was being stared down from Apple Bloom to which she smiled cheekily ,and then Apple Bloom turned her attention back to Spike.

"You still need to rest up so you can get your strength back, remember when Applejack didn't rest and she almost done near wreck half of Ponyville." Apple Bloom said as she recalled her older sister's mistake.

Spike grinned weakly. "Well, I can't argue with that." he remarked while giving in to the two girls, as he sat back on the bed Sweetie Belle came back in with a glass of water.

"Here Spike drink this, it'll make you feel better." Sweetie Belle said as she gave the glass of water to Spike.

"Thank you." Spike uttered as he began drinking the water.

"We should consider leaving soon, it hasn't been that long since the town returned to normal and I don't want to see my aunt's tear apart Ponyville looking for me." Scootaloo said with a sight panic in her voice.

"Same, I don't want my family start turning Ponyville upside down looking for me either." Apple Bloom added on and agreeing with the same panic tone as Scootaloo.

"I have to wait for my parents to get home and we can't leave Spike to walk home by himself in the condition he's in now." Sweetie Belle noted with concern.

Spike slightly grinned. "Don't worry guys, I'll be fine I just need some time to collect myself, I'm actually feeling better than i was a minute ago." he stated modestly as he got up from the bed to stretch.

"Are you sure?" Apple Bloom asked with a face of concern reflecting her two friends.

"I'm good, I promise" he assured the three girls.

"...mmm ok but please take your time at least," Sweetie Belle stressed as Apple Bloom added on.

",We don't want you passing out again in the middle of town." She said as she reviewed the unpleasant thought.

"Ok ok.... Thank you guys for taking care." Spike said with a warm smile grateful to the ponies that surrounded him.

"You're welcome Spike!" Sweetie Belle exclaimed happily.

"Don't mention it." Scootaloo added on coyly

"It was no problem at all." Apple Bloom noted with a smile.

As the Apple Bloom, Scootaloo ,and Spike left Sweetie Belle's house they all went their separate ways, as Spike was walking to the library he couldn't help but something was strange about him, he knew that it wasn't magic because he's been subjected to it his own life, this felt like something else to him.

"Oh man this is trippy, it doesn't fell bad but it's... different that I can't make sense of it, and I know the last I need is Twilight poking and prodding in every way her unhinged mind can come like with Pinkie and her 'Pinkie-Sense' jeez that was just too much" Spike thought with slight distain.

"*sigh* I just hope it that It'll go away soo-"

"BZZZTTT"

"ARRRGGHH, the noise mannnn it's... so loud what is thi-" Spike's internal scream was cut sort by a real pony screaming to a speeding cart towards him, Spike was simply going to jump out of it's way but instead he expertly front flipped over the cart with what looked like ease.

When he landed the crowd around Spike looked at him in shock over what have just happened, Spike's mind was so muddled by the event himself, he just knew he needed to get out of there, so he quickly ran into an ally near by so nobody can see him.

As he tried to wait for things to settle down so he could get back to the library but he couldn't help but seriously question what just happened to back to there...what was happening to him?

"Ok ok try to calm down Spikey just go over what happened. So heard a bell sound going of in the back you're head and at the same time you jumped over a speeding cart like you've been practicing parkour for years...that couldn't have all just happened...right?" Spike thought in the effort to in trying to get himself calm but failing.

Spike tried to lean himself against the wall in another effort to try to recompose himself but when the palm of his claw met the wall...it got stuck.

"Wait what?" Spike questions as he tries to get his palm of the wall but gets the palm of his other claw stuck to the wall as well. "Oh come on!" Spike complains as he keeps struggling to get his claw of the wall.

"Why is this happening?!" Spike shouted in distress as he put both his feet on the wall in an effort to try to pry himself from the wall... which also gets stuck to the wall. "Dang it!" he exclaimed in frustration. He tries for a good few minutes before finally relenting a see that that wasn't doing anything for him.

"Well *sigh* this isn't working...ugghh maybe instead of freaking out and get yourself more stuck to this wall and maybe draw the crowd I ran into this alley to get away from -If they haven't heard me already- so Spikey you can think a way out of this situation if you just calm down and breath" Spike tried to mental calm himself down and 3 minutes later both his and feet both came loose from the wall and Spike fell to the floor.

"....at least it worked Spike...at least it worked ugghh" Spike thought as he looked to his claws for a momment in spite of hoping for an answer to what was happening to him but realized that he already has spent too much time there, he begrudgingly left the alley, seeing there was no one paying attention to him, Spike quickly head over to the Library.

As Spike continued to run through Ponyville he saw the Golden Oaks Library insight, he couldn't help but feel a small sense of relief to get out of the open like this, but that all went away when he laid eyes on 6 multicolored ponies he knew all to well exit the library and skidded to a halt, but he knew all to well that this was going to happen on way or the other and walked the rest of the way just to get this out of the way. The six have caught sight of him as he approached the library.

"Spike!" Twilight screamed as she and the others ran to him. 'Where were you we've all been worried." she said in a solemn voice.

"Yes darling, we searched all over the library for you and you were know where to be found." Rarity added with unneeded poise.

"Um...I was hiding." Spike answered sparingly with earned a raised brow from Rainbow Dash.

"Really...hiding?" Rainbow Dash asked suspiciously.

"Yes really, have you seen outside?" Spike remarked back at Rainbow Dash.

"He's got a point there, Dash." Applejack commented in Spike's favor as the rainbow-headed mare blushed in embarrassment.

"Well then, where were you hiding." Fluttershy then asked.

"I was hiding at Sweetie Belle's house with her and her friends." Spike answered begrudgingly while alerting Applejack and Rarity after hearing about their sisters.

"Wait, is Apple Bloom ok,?" Applejack asked worryingly.

"What about Sweetie Belle?" Rarity added on in the same tone as Applejack

"Relax, They're both doing fine." Spike reassured them as they both let out a sigh of relief.

"Well we're-" Twilight started before she was interrupted by Pinkie Pie who smells weirdly of chocolate milk.

"It's a super duper cerebration bonanza," Pinkie Pie stated excitedly before Rainbow Dash added on.

"In our honor," She said as she posed arrogantly

"You're coming right, there's going to be caaaakkkee!!" Pinkie Pie stated as she held a piece of cake in her hooves and then ate it.

"Uhhh no I'm not." Spike stated tiredly as the other girls looked at him with wide eyes.

"Really?" Twilight said dishearten

"Yes Twilight, not just you guys had a long day." Spike said as he stared at the mares as he passed them at the library door.

"Have fun, girls" Spike said before he went the inside.

Spike went up the second floor with Owllicious on his perch, and sat on the couch to sit down before thinking to himself.

"Ughh really? when did they all get so worried if I come to stuff they want," Spike then raised up from the couch to go walk walk around the second floor, "Man a stupid celebration is the least of my problems, I mean jeez what am going to do about all of this that's happen to me," Spike said kind of freaking out until he figured out his feet was sticking to the ceiling with Owllicious staring at him.

"I don't even know what this is!!" Spike screamed while he was figuring out how to get off the ceiling, Owllicious got an idea and flown downstairs. A few minutes later Owlicious returned to with a book in their claws and something in his beak and Spike just got off the roof.

"Um Owllicious uhhhh can you promise not to tell please- wait what's in your talons, and your beak." Spike got the thing in both his beak and talons, one of his comic books and a book about spiders.

"What?" Spike asked confused

"Hoo Hoo." Owllicious said while pointing at the comic book and the book on spiders. "Um okkk" Spike complied as he flipped through the comic book and saw the power ponies using their powers.

"Wait powers?!" Spike realized before getting the idea and looking through the book of spiders and their abilities.

"No way." Spike uttered.

Origins - Test Drive

For anyone this would have been like a dream come true, Spike thought this would feel like that, but to him it all felt really unbelievable to why this was all happening to him, that of this being, Powers(Spider-Powers to be more precise). It's been a few days since the whole chaos incident and the discovery of Spike's new abilities, and to say that Spike did research for anything that he could figure out to what was happening to him, was a little short of on understatement.

Whenever he was free, (Which was wasn't much.) his time was put to study his new Spider-Powers and what kind of abilities he's gained from it, but that came with it's own set of set of problems and it wasn't before it he'd hit a roadblock it all, it wasn't easy doing this all by himself, he was smarter than creatures gave him credit for but this is next level even for him and these Spider-Powers didn't come with instructions (except for one of them but he wasn't sure about that).

Even still no matter how much experimentations he did in his free time, he wasn't going to get anywhere unless he actually tested his powers out in the field, Spike didn't want to risk it all so he stuck it out but he knew that he couldn't put it of for anymore and decided that he was ready enough.

But...today took a little resistance to get through.

Like any other day Spike knew that today -- like any other day -- was going to be a strenuous day whenever it involved Twilight Sparkle with her usual 'Twilighting' as usual and she was supposed to go on a picnic with her friends and that would be the perfect chance to properly test out some of his powers and compare it with some of his notes on the subject, but Twilight had to go and be extra her today and just when Spike had thought the tedious part of his day was over.

"Thank goodness that's all over with so you have nothing to get in the way of your picnic, thankfully we don't have anything to send to Princess Celestia so..." Spike started stating as Twilight floated a barely frosted cupcake but drops it when she hears what Spike said about...Princess Celestia.

"We haven't sent a letter to Princess Celestia this week?" Twilight asked with emerging concern in her voice.

"Um yess... is that baaad?" Spike questioned hesitantly while regretting the moment he opened his mouth.

"Bad? Bad?! Of course it's bad! I'm supposed to send Princess Celestia a letter every week, telling her a lesson I've learned about friendship. Not every other week. Not every 10 days. Every. Single. Week." Twilight expressed in worry as Spike stared with a raised brow and an uninterested look.

Twilight then frantically searched her desk. "Where's my calendar? Where's my calendar?" She asked herself as she forgot where she expressly put it.

"...uhhh where it always is." Spike said as he pointed to the drawer where Twilight herself put the calendar with Twilight snatching it out of the cabinet's confides with her magic.

"When did we last one.?" Twilight asked while frantically searching through her calendar.

"Umm.. last Tuesday I think." Spike said with Twilight still searching through her calendar.

"And today is...." Twilight said finally landing on today's date.

"Tuesday." Spike finished Twilight's thought.

"Ahhh! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No! No!" Twilight exclaimed as she ran up the stairs to her bedroom to look at the sun's rotation to check what time it was.

"This women knows that's there's a clock the wall...right?" Spike questioned to himself while staring at said clock.

"If I don't send her a letter by sundown, I'll be [gasp] traaddyy." Twilight once again exclaimed as she fell back in her bed.

"Oh boy." Spike thought in annoyance.

"Oh, how can I let this happen? I'm usually so organized. I've never been late with an assignment." Twilight said in sorrow as she buries herself in her bed sheets.

"So...um correct me if I'm wrong with this, but isn't a lack of friendship problems a good thing?" Spike asked questionably towards the purple unicorn who ignored the baby dragon's question.

"This is the ruler of all of Equestria we're talking about-- The pony who holds my fate in her hooves. What if she doesn't forgive me."

"Yeah sunbutt's just itching to see her prized pupil fail at something." Spike thought sarcastically with an eye roll as Twilight teleports right next to him.

"What if instead, she starts thinking I'm not taking my studies on friendship seriously?" Twilight questioned as she began to trot around the room.

"What if she makes me come back to Canterlot and put's me back in school and makes me prove I've been taking them seriously by giving me a test?! What if I don't pass?" Twilight said in her thought process with Spike still blankly staring at her.

"I wonder if I stay silent, will she start--" Spike's inner monolouge being interrupted by...

"She's my teacher. Do you know what teachers do to students who don't pass? They send them back a grade!" Twilight once again exclaimed in irrational fear.

"-- answering her own questions... yes." Spike confirmed his incomplete thought as he began to sit down on the floor waiting for when Twilight would notice.

"But she won't just send me back a grade. She'll send me back to [gasp] magic kindergarten." Twilight stated as she started to imagine herself in a tiny seat with little colts and fillies all laughing at her, while in the real world Spike was wondering if her friends more or less crazy than she already was back in Canterlot.

A few minutes of Twilight shuttering went by before shook herself out of the daydream and noticed the baby dragon sitting on the floor staring blankly at her. "Um what are you doing." Twilight questioned him.

"Oh me, I'm just waiting here until you hear the words coming from your mouth and realize what you're saying is crazy first-hand." Spike said plainly with Twilight staring at him for a bit before getting off her rump.

"Y'know there's no reason to worry because I'm going to solve a friendship problem and get that letter to Princess Celestia before sundown." Twilight said a pep in her step while Spike just knew this day like many before would be a long one before Twilight got up in his face.

"So... got any problems, troubles, conundrums or any other sort of issues, major or minor, that I as a gooood friend could help solve." Twilight asked while smiling at him expectantly.

"Nope." Spike instantly said while putting it as plainly as it could seem(well he didn't have to try, like he'd tell Twilight of his powers) with Twilight frowning in disappointment.

"[sigh] Then it looks like I'm going to have to find somepony who does." Twilight said as she exited the library as Owlicious fly up to Spike.

"Hey, you think she was tested before she was sent out to shipping." Spike said jokingly towards Owlicious as he laughed in a series of hoots.

"Well it doesn't matter now, she's gone and she's not my problem for at least a couple of hours, so I'm going to finally can test out what these powers can really do," Spike said as he looked at his for few seconds before gathering up all of his self-confidence.

",but not without a quick refresher." Spike said as he went to a wall. "Here goes nothing." Spike uttered as he started to climb it with his palms and feet sticking as he climbed with Spike stopping when he was on the ceiling while looking down at Owlicious who looked at Spike with amazement even through he's seen it before.

"Ok ok, let's loop it all around." Spike said with a slight bit of unease, as he crawled to the other side of the wall and to climb down the wall, when he reached back down to floor Owlicious started to clap the best way he could which a smile to Spike's face.

"Heh, Thank's Owlicious -- I kinda forgot how 'humbling' that is." Spike trying to find a good word for this was. Spike then went to one of his hiding spots to take out the his Spider-Powers notes and his checklist.

He already checked 'wall crawling' on the list.

Spider-Reflexes (Speed, Reaction time.)

Jumping

Strength

Spider-Senses (The Wild card.)

All of the abilities listed, Spike pinpointed these specific powers from everything he picked up from the Spider book Owlicious gave him and he gathered all that he could. The power that he wasn't so sure about was the Spider-Senses, this power was supposed be apart of his Spider-Reflexes but it was so interesting that it he decided it deserved a spot on it's own.

He read that Spider's had sensors all around their body to alert them of incoming danger, but what he felt a few days ago felt more than what it was described like in the book, it felt more heightened more....powerful and concentrated compared to Pinkie Pie's Pinkie-Sense.

"Mmmm... Spider-Sense, I like the sound of that." Spike thought out loud.

"Hoo." Owlicious responded in agreement to which made Spike smile more.

"Well I still have to get out there if I truly want to test what these powers can do. You wanna come with me." Spike asked the Owl.

"Hoo Hoo." Owlicious curiously accepted his offer, Spike then gathered up all of his notes and his checklist and put them in his bag near by.

"Alright, let's go." Spike declared as he and Owlicious.

Spike knew he had to get to the grasslands of Ponyville so they wouldn't be disturbed while testing Spike's powers but this was an opportunity to test out one of his other abilities.

When they got far enough they headed into a empty alley.

"You ready?" Spike asked Owlicious.

"Hoo." Owlicious said while nodding his head.

Spike then took a deep breath and with all of his might jumped as high as he could and... "AHHHHHH!!" he overshot the house he has going for and crash landed on the next building over.

"Ow." Spike straited as Owlicious flew up to him.

"Hope no one say that -- didn't know my own strength." Spike groaned.

"Ok... let's try this again." Spike announced going with a simple jump this time.

"YEAAAHHH!" Spike cheered as he jumped across to each building with ease and grace with Owlicious keeping up with him. A few minutes later he reached a grassland near Ponyville littered with large boulders.

"This should be a good place." Spike said as he set down his bag and gathered up his checklist and checked jumping.

Spider-Reflexes (Speed, Reaction time.)

Jumping

Strength

Spider-Senses (The Wild card.)

Owlicious perched on top a near by tree so he good look at Spike while not getting in his way.

"Ok let's get to this (man that sounded corny)." spike says as he looks at a near by large boulder and walks over to it getting to truly put his new strength to the test.

"...you can do this Spikey." Spike said to himself gathering all of his worries and tries to lift the large boulder and to his and Owlicious's suprise, he lifts it like he's lifting a piece of paper.

"Ahhh wow." Spike uttered kind of flabbergasted at his new strength and then got another idea which Spike did impulsively and ended up throwing the boulder with all of his strength with it being thrown about a mile away.

Both Spike and Owlicious looked at each other with wide eyes for what has just transpired but later got back to it with Spike playing with his strength capabilities for about 10 minutes before Spike gathered back up all of his notes in his back with Owlicious flying right beside Spike side.

"Hey man, we need to head over to the track to test out my speed." Spike mentioned to him.

"Hoo Hoo." Owlicious ok'd to the baby dragon before they both started to head over to the track with both of them not seeing a pair of eyes on them.

The pair have arrived at Ponyville's track with thankfully no one there, Spike then took out a stopwatch.

"Um hey can you do me a favor and track my how much my speed is please?" Spike asked the awaiting owl.

"Hoo Hoo." Owlicious gave the alright with Spike showing a face of gratitude.

"Thanks, bud." Spike said as he took to the starting line to wait for Owlicious to start him off.

"HOO!" Owlicious exclaimed while starting the stopwatch and watched as Spike raced at high speeds --irregular to how fast he was before-- he was astounded.

"Wow. it's weird going this fast with short legs." Spike thought as he was still sprinting and mere seconds later he crossed the finish line.

"That was nothing. What's my time?" Spike asked the Owl as he showed him his time of 6.3 seconds.

"...wow, that awesome and I feel like I can run the whole globe!" Spike confidently declares with a laugh. Owlicious interrupted while hooting at the time of the day.

"[groan] fine your right, we should get back." Spike relented as he went back to his stuff and taking out his checklist again to check Strength and Speed.

Spider-Reflexes (Speed, Reaction time.)

Jumping

Strength

Spider-Senses (The Wild card.)

"Well two outta four ain't bad." Spike settled with that gathered up all of his belongings and with Owlicious headed back to the Golden Oak's Library.

It took a few minutes to get back to Ponyville to which Spike jumped from roof to roof for practice, when they finally got to the library's doorstep...

"BZZZTTT"(I know this.. wait!)

Spike quickly jumped expertly to side as the door to the library crashed open with an erratic and insane looking Twilight galloping out of the library while holding a worn out looking doll of some kind, not noticing Spike or Owlicious before hand. Spike decided to jump onto a near by house to get a better look at the purple unicorn barreling thorough the streets.

"Now what is she doing?" Spike questioned out loud while spying Twilight on top of the house.

"Hoo Hoo?(and where is she heading in such a hurry, with such a crazy look?)" Owlicious translated as Spike thought for a second before turning to Owlicious.

"Head back to the library Owlicious, I'll see what she is up to." Spike told Owlicious.

"Hoo Hoo?" Owlicious hooted in question Spike was sure about it and Spike nodded to him basically saying that he's sure, and with that single look Owlicious headed back to the library with Spike following Twilight from the rooftops.

A Few Minutes Later....

Spike watched Twilight spot the Cutie Mark Crusaders playing with a beach ball while Twilight watched at them creepily from inside a bush, waiting for the right time to strike with Spike being perched on top of the tree right by her, watching and fearing what Twilight in this state of mind has in store for his friends.

"Dang it Twilight, what are you up to?" Spike thought to himself but it was put to a halt when he saw Twilight pop out of the CMC's beach ball.

"Hi, girrlsss." Twilight disturbingly said.

"Oh, Hi, Twilight. How's it go--" Apple Bloom greeted Twilight and was about to ask how her day was, but Twilight decided to beat her to it.

"Gr-r-eat. Just Great." Twilight rapidly answered with her left eye twitching which didn't go unnoticed by Spike, putting him in more distress.

"You three look like you're doing great, too. Looks like three good friends who obviously don't need the help of another good friend." Twilight said and then Spike thought back to this morning and then Spike thought back to this morning compared to the right....now.

"Oh good grief...I know what she's doing. Twilight's become too desperate to write that stupid friendship report for Sunbutt and now she's going the extra step to make a problem now that's she's run out of time with...a doll -- she really thinks this is going to -- well nobody messes with my friends, but what am I going to do?" Spike pondered while looking at Twilight trying to egg on the CMC into fighting, but that gives him an idea.

"There's only one pony who can stop this," Spike thinks to himself while pulling out the extra scroll and pen from his bag.

",Sunbutt herself." Spike then writes a letter to Celestia putting on the best 'worried friend' act he's got to make it sound like the emergency and to come right away, he finishes the letter and then sends it via fire breath hoping she comes in time.

"Know that her protégé has a personal problem and she'll come to the rescue like the guardian angel like she thinks she is, But back to business, with the long term of the plan settled now for the short term.

While the CMC was fighting over who get cursed with the Smarty Pants doll, Twilight was panicking on how to make her plan succeed until she stumbled on a horrible idea which to her was the last saving grace she had.

"Ooh, You're going to like Smarty-Pants and You're going to like her--."

"Twilight!!" Everypony present turns to see Spike running towards them in a panic.

"Twilight it's... the library... it's burning from the inside!!!" Spike screamed in terror.

"WHHHAATTT!!!" Twilight screamed in terror as she gallops to the library as fast as she could.

"Heh," Spike smirks in satisfaction.

"Good thing she's too in a panic to teleport." Spike said as he turned top the Crusaders who looked confused.

"Are you guys ok?" Spike asked the three.

"Um, fine." Sweetie Belle answered befuddled.

"...but Spike, what was all that business with the library being burned from the inside?" Apple Bloom asked in both confusion and worry.

"Oh that, that was just to get Twilight off your backs and lead her back to the library before she dragged you guys into her mess." Spike explained to the CMC.

"Well... thanks for that, Spike, this was starting to get out of control and super creepy." Scootaloo thanked the baby dragon as she shuddered at the memory.

"No problem, no-one messes with my friends." Spike stated as they smiled brightly back at him.

"I have to get back, I'll see you guys later." Spike said as he saw himself back to the library.

"See you later, Spike!" The three girls bidding farewell to the baby dragon. He walked until he was out of sight and back in town and walked into an alley so he could jump back into houses to get more practice in for his powers.

It takes a few minutes for Spike to return to the library and he see's the door open with all of the Main 6 in there with Princess Celestia, deciding not to walk in on that he wall-crawls up the tree and quietly opens the window to then go onto the ceiling so he could hear them.

"Looks like you all learned a pretty valuable lesson today." Princess Celestia states with all of the girls present agreeing.

"Before I go, I have an assignment for you all," Princess Celestia announced to the girls with them all questioning what it was the princess was asking of all of them.

"From this day forth, I would like you all to report to me your finding on the magic of friendship when -- and only when -- you happen to discover them." Princess Celestia said them all with the girls cheering.

"And be sure to thank Spike for me taking your feeling's seriously." Princess Celestia said with gratitude in her voice while Spike had a series of painful memories running through him.

"Oh now I'm noticeable to you, someone of concern...don't make me laugh, Sunbutt." Spike thought spitefully.

"Now if you will excuse me, I must return to Canterlot. I'm expecting some mail." Princess Celestia concluded as she teleported back to Canterlot. Now that she was gone, Spike crawled back outside then landed by the door as he entered the library with the present girls seeing him come in.

"What'd I miss." Spike said nonchalantly while Twilight pulled him in close with her nuzzling his face as he awkwardly step back with a confused look.

"What was that for?" Spike asked the girls.

"You helped me see the error of my ways and the only one to worry about me and took my feelings seriously, Thank you, Spike." Normally at this point of the story this is where the protagonist has this big change of heart....

"Whatever." Spike said with an uninterested look taking both all of the girls for surprise.

"Whatever?" Rarity asked while Spike just shrugged his shoulders with the same stoic stance.

"Well, I just made sure she didn't hurt get anyone hurt." Spike commented which ended up confusing him.

And without another word he rushed upstairs with the all the girls present to look at each other confusingly.

Spike was staring at a mirror in the room while pondering to himself and reflecting on the painful memories he's been plagued with.

"WHAT HAS THESE PONIES DONE FOR ME THAT I HAVEN"T DONE FOR THEM." Spike heard the past screaming back at him as he went to the couch to lie down.

He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he wanted revenge for everything that they've done for him turned him into he would've been just fine watching the world burn and then he thought back to ponies like the CMC.

But he didn't have any hate in his heart, he just wanted to be free.

"Thing will change." Spike quietly said while looking at his palm feeling the power in him while reflect on the ponies in his life. "I will be better creature than they could ever be, I swear it." Spike thoughtfully concluded as he drifted on to sleep.

Author's Note

Hi, hope you all enjoyed and I'm so so sorry it took so long.

It was fun writing for this long I kind of slacked off a bit.

But, like always constructive criticism is always welcome and once again if their willing artist there, I'm still looking cover-art for this stories including this one.

I'll see you all later.

Playing Hero

For all that it's worth, Spike actually enjoyed the past few weeks despite the insanity that revolves around Twilight and her friends life's but like usual, it helped him - mostly - keep his distance and for him to actually be exposed to Ponyville. As much grief that this town put him and other creatures through, it wasn't a town you could stay mad at, it helped him connect with his; The Cutie Mark Crusaders with Snips and Snails included. Even with Apple Bloom's cutie mark incident it's been fun for him.

He's starting to get a little more control of his powers, they were steadily improving the more he practiced with but he sometimes he get his foot or claw stuck to a surface and get in over his head and tries to lift something he's not ready for but he was improving from last time, ever since he got them he's been trying to figure out what he wanted to do with these powers but he decided it's better to wait until he actual got a handle on them before anything happened....until he had no choice.

"Ugggggghhhh...This is so frustrating." Spike thought disgruntled as he regretfully got back to work.

Spike was down in in the lab that Twilight setup and then forgot about,

He's been setting up shop down here working on a pet project that have been living rent in his head for days, something drawing him to discover more. He wasn't sure how he knows but it's like his powers were urging him to pursue this.

Like many Spiders, they could all organically make webs, but after many - physical- headaches, Spike appeared to not have gained the ability to spin webs like Spiders and he couldn't just let that be, if his powers didn't give webs then he'll have to make them himself.

Right now he was researching the right chemical formulas to get a concept of what he's trying to accomplice, but.... it isn't easy as it sounds. This level of alchemy was really hard to try to figure out, with his knowledge he was making leeway but it was a little slow going.

and then another obstacle shown up to block his progress.

urrrrrrrgggggg... his stomach began growling.

'Ugh.'

'I can't stop...not yet.'

The more he ignored the growls his stomach made, the louder it became until he had enough.

'Ok ok I'm moving.'

Spike reluctantly moved back up stairs to the library to get something from the kitchen before he was met with Owlowiscios on the main floor.

"What's up Owlowiscios." Spike greeted his Owl roommate.

"Hoo." Owlowiscious said back.

"How are you holding up?"

"Hoo." Owlowiscios hooted a little dismally

"You too, huh."

"Well it's ok, I'm here now." Spike reassured his owl friend as a slight smirk became present on the owl's face.

"Speaking of which, where is our favorite book manic?" Spike asked

"Hoo." Owlowiscios hooted as he lead Spike to the balcony with him following close behind. Owlowiscios then perched on the balcony and pointed to Sugarcube Corner.

"Sugarcube Corner, huh?" Spike inquired.

"Hoo." Owlowiscios said in confirmation.

"I haven't seen the cakes in a while, maybe I go should go over there for lunch and say hi."

"You wanna come?" Spike asked the owl.

"Hoo." Owlowiscios chirped excitedly.

Spike went back down to the lab to get his bag and put his chemistry notes in and went back up to exit the library with Owlowiscios.

As Spike walked the through Ponyville he couldn't help put watch as this town has grown since he came...here, then a series of painful memories shot through Spike skull.

As much as this town was a retreat from his situation it's been.... it didn't come without it's caveats of regret.

As Spike stood in place for a minute Owlowiscios looked at him with concern.

"Hoo." Owlowiscios hooted for concern towards his static dragon friend as he was snapped back to reality.

"Sorry Owlowiscios," Spike apologized to his Owl friend.

"I kind of got lost in my thoughts there."

"Hoo Hoo." Owlowiscios hooted in forgivness as they both continued their to Sugarcube Corner.

They soon saw the Ginger-Breaded house in view and entered just to be perplexed by what they saw at the left-side of the bakery, a series of Rainbow Dash admirers -Scootaloo included- with Rainbow dash herself in standing proud in the middle of it. Spike and Owlowiscios both looked at the scene looked at each other at silently decided to ignore it for now and go for what they came here for in the first.

As they headed for towards the front corner and saw Mrs.Cake looking at the scene as well.

"Hi Mrs.Cake." Spike cheerfully greeted the mare with Owlowiscios following up.

"Hoo!" Mrs.Cake looked towards the set of voices and smiled as she saw who it was from.

"Spike, Owlowiscios! I haven't seen you two around here in while." Mrs.Cake graciously said to the pair.

"Sorry we haven't been around lately." Spike said in response.

"How've you been?" Spike asked her.

"Oh I've been just...ugh." Mrs.Cake gripped her stomach in visible pain while to Spike she looked a little bloated.

'It's probably nothing.' Spike thought suspiciously while Owlowiscios raised a brow.

"Having a little stomach trouble?" Spike asked the mare cautiously.

"Sorry, this pregnancy is going about as well as expected. Mrs.Cake said laughing a little all the while both Spike and Owlowiscios's jaws had dropped to the ground."

"You're pregnant?!"

"Hoo?!" Both Spike and Owlowiscios exclaimed over hearing the news themselves while Mrs.Cake laughed a little over their reaction.

"Yep, about a few months due, I'm surprised this is the first you're hearing about it," Mrs.Cake said

"Twilight assured me that she told you after the baby shower last month."

'Twilight.' Spike thought spitefully as he sighed in annoyance.

"Well congratulations, sorry I didn't hear about it sooner." Spike said apologetically.

"Oh it's ok dearie, Twilight keeps telling everypony how much of a hard worker you are." Mrs.Cake explained

'Oh is that so.'

"Are you sure you should even be on you're hooves right now?" Spike asked Mrs.Cake in concern.

"I'm fine dear even with Carrot Cake off on an order, I'm hardly exerting herself." Mrs.Cake said confidently which made Spike smile in relief.

"Well good but still try to be-" Spike was cut off as the raving crowd to the left increase in volume grabbing the three creatures attention.

"Just for clarification, what's with the Rainbow claded crowd?" Spike asked the mare.

"Oh that, it's just the fan press conference for our Friendly Neighborhood Rainbow Dash. Ponyville's newest hero." Mrs.Cake declared.

'....oh boy.' Spike internally groaned while sensing headache within the future.

"Hey Spike!" a shout was heard from the other side of the bakery and saw Apple Bloom waving Spike over with Sweetie Belle sitting next to her.

"I'll be right back." Spike said to Mrs.Cake as he and Owlowiscios went towards the fillies calling him over.

"Hey you two."

"Hey Spike." Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle greeted him.

"Hoo." Owlowiscios said also greeting the two fillies.

"Hey Owlowiscios." Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom waved towards the owl.

"You guys apart of the Rainbow crowd or just here for Scootaloo." Spike sked as he sat next to them with Owlowiscios taking perch on top of his head spikes.

"Well it's half for Scootaloo and half for just plain curiosity." Sweetie Belle answered.

"We really didn't hear about the whole Rainbow Dash situation until an hour ago." Apple Bloom added on.

"Speaking of that, what is the whole Rainbow Dash situation." Spike asked.

"From what we heard and somewhat witnessed, Rainbow Dash saved a couple of ponies when her ego inflated like a balloon." Apple Bloom explained.

"We didn't get to see her save them up but we were apart of the crowd while she was victory dancing and ran into Scootaloo as she filled us in." Sweetie Belle recalled.

"Ah that explains it." Spike now getting the situation.

"We were here to hang out with Scoots but with how it's going now, she's going to be following Rainbow all day," Apple Bloom said.

"So we were about to split and go to the clubhouse. You wanna come with?" Sweetie Belle asked the dragon.

Spike was just about the accept when his attention drew back to his bag with his chemistry notes inside it.

'Ugh, I can't just forget about this.' Spike bitterly thought.

"Um... sorry guys, I kind still have to work on something and we originally came here to get something to eat and get out of the library." Spike said regrettably.

"Oh that ok." Apple Bloom stated.

"There's always next time right." Sweetie Belle asked with a smile.

"Definitely." Spike agreed.

"Bye Spike, Bye Owlowiscios." Both fillies said as they left Sugarcube Corner with Spike slightly sighing which Owlowiscios took notice from on top of his head.

"Hoo."

"Yeah I know but I've been stuck on this for days and it's going to keep eating me until I've solved it." Spike said while looking at Owlowiscios.

"Hoo."

"Although I get you're point it's far from obsessing and about another plant away from Twilighting," Spike stated to the Owl.

"Hoo Hoo.' Owlowiscios hooted in acceptance.

Spike then went back to the counter and ordered two cupcakes for him and for Owlowiscios with them both eating them, then started to work on his formula again and hit the same roadblock.

'Ugggghhhh can't I get this chemically sequenced it's like there's something that's not letting them...' Spike thought but trailed of when he say a Unicorn mare levitating a cookie into her mouth and that got Spike thinking.

'....maybe it's because their magical elements,' Spike thought as he went to his bag and got out his set of elements.

'maybe if I use elements and chemicals that's not apart of the magical axis, that'll maybe get them to sequence properly.' Spike had an epiphany and started to work.

"Yes,Yes! Owlowiscios!." Spike exclaimed.

"Hoo?" Owlowiscios said as he perched next to Spike.

"I got it, I finally figured it out." Spike exclaimed excitingly as he showed him the final formula.

"Hoo?" Owlowiscios hooted in question.

"It's the Web Fluid formula that I've been working on and based on my research it should be most likely to work." Spike explained.

"Hoo Hoo." Owlowiscios hooted in celebration.

Spike then looked back towards the left-side of the room and still so Rainbow Dash and her crowd still fawning over her.

"Their still at this...whatever now I need something to fire the web fluid out off." Spike then continued workshopping.

It was at this time when the rest of the Main 6 entered Sugarcube Corner to see the Rainbow Bonanza.

Spike wasn't halfway through designing his uhhhh...

'mmmm... Web shooters yeah that a good name.'

While Spike wasn't halfway into designing his Web Shooters, a multi-colored mare noticed Spike and trotted up to him.

"Hey Spike." Rainbow Dash greeted the baby dragon as he look up from his Journal.

"What's up?" Spike asked plainly.

"I, Ponyville's awesome hero has a need for you my scaly little friend." Rainbow Dash declared.

"And...what is this need of yours?" Spike asked with a raised brow.

"I am granting you the honor of writing my autobiography." She said while posing dramatically as the crowd around her went wild, Spike was speechless but before he could even think a response Twilight decided to add herself into the conversation.

"Sorry for interrupting Rainbow but aren't autobiographies supposed to be written by the pony they are about?" Twilight asked with slight irritation.

"Maybe for your normal, run-of-the-mill ponies, but I'm far too busy saving lives to stop and write," Rainbow Dash said as a photographer snapped her picture.

'Ugh ok.' Spike thought as he got a sick feeling from that statement.

"And that's why I want Spike to be my own personal ghost writer." Rainbow finished saying as she put a hoof onto of Spike's head to which he swiped it away.

He was about to say something 'sassy' in other words but as he opened his mouths, he saw Scootaloo in the crowd and then...

"Um...sorry Rainbow Dash but I'm kind off busy at the moment." Spike said meekly as Rainbow put on a disappointed face.

"What! what could be more important than covering the story of Ponyville's savior." Rainbow said as another photographer took her picture again while Spike's patience was dropping still keep himself from telling her off.

"Look I'm just really busy right now." Spike said, deciding that he's spent too much time here looked at Owlowiscios and pointed his head towards the door and Owlowiscios in turn nodded and flew out the door with Spike then packed up his stuff and headed towards Mrs.Cake at the counter.

"Congrats again, I promise to visit more often." Spike then paid and tipped her for the cupcakes and then joined Owlowiscios outside.

Spike and Owlowiscios were now back at the lab in the library and now were workshopping again with how he could build his Web Shooters.

"Ok, that was easier," Spike said kind of exhausted.

"Hoo." Owlowiscios hooted in agreement

As they both looked towards their format.

"Hoo."

"I like it too."

"Thanks for you're help by the way." Spike thanked the owl.

"Hoo Hoo.(Don't mention it)" Owlowiscios hooted.

"Now it's just a matter of getting the materials to put it together."

Spike then packed up the format into his bag and went up stairs while Owlowiscios took a nap in the lab.

As Spike exited the library he heard

*Scream*

'What, where.' Spike thought incoherently as he ran towards the source. A few minutes later he arrived and saw someone saving an pony.

'What the...'

"That's right. Ponyville has a new hero - A mysterious mare that has done well by our fair city today. A dub this new masked hero the mysterious Mare Do Well!" Mayor Mare exclaimed cheerfully as the crowd rejoiced.

As Spike heard Rainbow Dash rambling he started to put the pieces together.

'How convenient that a new 'Hero' comes to town the same time Rainbow Dash's 'hero' phase, what those girls doing?'

As he connected the dots, he theorized that one of the Main 6 is the mysterious Mare Do Well.

'New hero or not, that suit needs work.' Spike thought critically.

'This day's becoming more and more weird by the day'

'Every since that Mare Do Well came into the picture it's like the whole town has gone into Mare Do Well frenzy and the Mare in question is becoming a lot more intriguing' Spike thinks as he walks down Ponyville's streets

'While getting the materials for the Web Shooters -which was hard- I keep hearing how Mare Do Well was seen 'Saving Ponyville' with Physical Strength and Magic, with her also seen flying so has to be Pinkie Pie and or Applejack, Twilight, Fluttershy I could count Rarity but she more likely made the suit rather than wear it herself.' Spike notion as he waved at Granny Smith.

'Ugh they don't know what their once this is all over, What do you think will happen once Rainbow Dash learns her lesson. I know how they think.'

'This town made them into a hero and they just needlessly throw it away once their done with all of this is done, feels like a waste doesn't it?' Spike pondered.

He has gotten of his materials for the Web Shooters and now he was heading back to the lab try build it and make the Web Fluid as well.

"Spike!" Spike turned to see the whole CMC run towards him.

"Hey you three, how's it going." Spike greeted the three fillies while smiling.

"Are you heading to the Mare Do Well's honoring ceremony." Scootaloo excitingly asked the dragon.

"There's a honoring ceremony for her?" Spike asked surprised.

"Well yeah." Apple Bloom exclaimed.

"She's become such an icon." Sweetie Belle said.

"I understand that but it's only been One day." Spike explained.

"Well I think she more than deserves it for all that she's done." Scootaloo said which made Spike smile smugly towards her.

"Finally seeing that there are more than one awesome pony in the sea, huh." Spike asked cheekily.

"I know right!" Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom exclaimed in unison.

"Hey, I have a right to be diverse in my choice of celebrates." Scootaloo also exclaimed in an annoyed tone.

"That all we want for ya kid." Spike said with all of them laughing in enjoyment.

"Speaking of which, have any of you seen Rainbow Dash lately?" Scootaloo asked

"Last I've heard is that she's sulking in the park." Spike clarified.

"Probably because no one's invited her yet." Apple Bloom said.

"Speaking of which, are you going Spike?" Sweetie Belle asked with all three girls looking at him expectantly, looks that you could say No to.

"Wouldn't miss it for the world." Spike said with smile.

"Great!" The Cutie Mark Crusaders exclaimed.

"I just have to stop by the library to drop this stuff off." Spike gestured to towards his bag.

"What have you've been working on anyway?" Apple Bloom asked.

"Just a random passion project." Spike kind of answered.

"Well I know it's gonna be great" Sweetie Belle said.

"Because you're so awesome." Scootaloo said.

"Well I am who I hang out with." Spike said smugly.

"Aww!" The three fillies exclaimed.

"I'll see you guys at the Ceremony." Spike said as he left.

"See you there, Spike!" The three exclaimed to the baby dragon.

As Spike entered back into the library and got into his lab he rest down his bag on the table and saw Owlowiscios resting on the perch and quickly exited the lab and the library to go see his friends at the ceremony.

As walked towards the edge of town for the ceremony but before he could go anymore farther, he heard a crash and an scream.

'What the...' Spike thought before he ran towards it to find Sugarcube Corner's door that had been broken in with more screaming coming from within the bakery.

When Spike ran inside he found Mrs.Cake on the ground with tearstains surrounded by

"Oh look, if it isn't that little baby dragon." Rover said.

"It you...what are you guys doing here." Spike demanded.

"Like I'm going to tell you squirt." Rover remarked

"Yeah we're never going to tell you how we plan on attacking the pretty ponies at your hero's ceremony." One of the goons blurted out, which aggravated Rover.

"Shut up!" Rover reprimanded the goon.

"Wha- why we left your kind alone after you kidnapped Rarity." Spike asked in aggressive confusion.

"That stupid pristine pony humiliated us, made a mockery of the empire I tried to make, free of my so called queens oppression." Rover rambled angerly.

"Look Dog Breath, I don't care about your feud with the elements and I don't want to know what you mutts call a queen but leave the town and it's ponies out of this ." Spike spat with gritted teeth as Rover looked at him with a smile.

"And who are you to try and stop us half pint, what are going to do call MOMMMY!!" Rover yelled as he punched Spike hard enough in the snot to send him flying and crashing into the tables at the other side of the room.

"SPIKE!!" Mrs.Cake strainingly yelled out

"Ugghh..." Spike groaned as he felt the impact of it all with his snot bleeding from the impact.

"Ha Ha Ha. What wrong squirt? I thought you were gonna show me what you got." Rover yelled out to the drake.

"Yeah show us what you're made us." One of the goons shouted with more coming to join the fun.

"Prove yourself, dragon."

"Let us hear you roar!"

As the insults toward the beaten dragon his memory brought him back to his life before Ponyville.

'Beasts like shouldn't have the right to walk beside us'

'They should be kept in cages.'

Spike couldn't move

'It should be rotting in a cell in Tartarus.'

'It should have been executed at birth.'

Tears start to shed on his face as he's shaking.

'Monster.'

Spike, get up

'Devil.'

Spike

'Demon Spawn.'

GET. UP.

Spike opened his tear stained eyes which looked back at the dogs and then focused back on Mrs.Cake.

'Come up, get up you can't let them do this Spike.'

Spike kind off struggled to get up.

'Come on.... you're not an ordinary dragon anymore.' Spike eyes then widened in realization.

Be Strong

Spike's muscles were fueled with determination as Spike lifted the broken table pieces off of him and quakingly walked towards the set of laugh dogs.

"Uh boss." One of the goons said as he pointed towards the dragon with every dog including Rover to look towards Spike.

"I think you fleabags didn't hear me when I said you're going to leave this town alone." Spike shakingly but imposingly said.

"And I guess you missed the part where I know what you're going to do about!!" Rover yelled as he readied to attack Spike again.

"NOOOO!!!" Mrs.Cake yelled as Rover punched Spike again but...

*Crunch*

"AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Rover screamed bloody murder while gripping his broken hand.

"The runt broke the chief's hand by blocking it." One of the goons said with all of them scared for their lives.

Rover then looked towards Spike's direction as stared back coldly.

"What are you." Rover scarily asked.

Spike went up to him having enough of his trash.

"I'm not just a dragon anymore." Spike stated as he punched Rover in the face knocking him unconscious, then he looked towards hounds.

"Yo mutts!!" All the hounds jumped while shaking in fear.

"Take your leader and run with your tails between you're legs while you still have them." Spike stated threating as the goons took their leader and took off in a Dash.

Spike pointed his attention towards Mrs.Cake and walked up to her.

"Are you ok." Spike asked with a worrying expression.

She then caught him in a bear hug.

"Oh THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!." Mrs.Cake exclaimed expressing her gratitude over a thousand times.

"Kinda can't breath." Spike strained.

"Sorry, Sorry." Mrs.Cake quickly let go of the drake.

"It's fine, Did they hurt you?" Spike asked with great concern.

"I'm well enough, they only knocked me done." Mrs.cake answered

"What did they want from you?" Spike asked the mare.

"They said that the smell drew them here and said that the shop will be the first causality in their revenge plan, I don't know what they were going to do me if you didn't come in." Mrs.Cake while more tears fell down her face but she found Spike holding her hoof.

"Well it's fine you're safe now." Spike said calmly as Mrs.Cake then gave him a gentler hug.

"Thank you." Mrs.Cake said shakily.

"You're welcome." Spike said while accepting the hug...then widened his eyes when he remembered.

'The ceremony....my friends!!!!' Spike as he broke the and looked at Mrs.Cake.

"I need to get the ceremony, I need to stop them." Spike said to the more.

"But-but how." Mrs.Cake asked in fear.

'My Powers..' Spike looked Mrs Cake. straight in her eyes.

"Ok look get up stairs and hide in Pinkie Pie's room and lock the door, don't let anypony in until Pinkie or your husband return home, ok." Spike said with her nodding.

"Don't tell anyony but you're husband that I help you ok, just say that they ran." Spike said.

"But-"

"Please, trust me." Spike pleaded to her.

"O.ok." Mrs.Cake uttered.

"Thank you." Spike said before getting up and running out of the bakery and started jumping onto building to building which was the faster way to get around while Mrs.Cake walked out to witnessing Spike's agility.

"Who are you, Spike." Mrs.Cake uttered as she went back inside to follow Spike's instructions.

Spike as jumping at great speeds to get to the ceremony but stopped when he came to the realization.

'I can't show up as myself, I wouldn't be able to explain myself without telling all of Equestria that I have Super Powers that will have be studied on as an actual test experiment uggghh' Spike thought worryingly.

'Wait if I'm correct and Rarity did create the Mare Do Well suit then...this will be wrong on so many levels' Spike thought as he changed course towards the boutique.

Spike reached onto the top of Carousal Boutique and crawled down through the top window leading into Rarity's room and crawled in.

"Man I'm glad Fluttershy took Opal back to her house, I did not want to deal with her right now." Spike said in relief as he looked around and found her closet and after enough rummaging...he found exactly what he was looking for.

"Yes!" Spike exclaimed as he found a spare Mare Do Well costume but gasp when he came to but another realization.

"Ughh no I can't fit into the suit, Damn it what now?." Spike question annoyed.

"I'm gonna have to use what I can work with." Spike then took the mask.

"The hat isn't attached? But how does it stay on without falling off...ugh I'll fix that later"

"Ok the Mask and the hat hide my spikes but what am I gonna do about the rest of me." Spike questioned and ended up digging into Rarity's closet for something he could use, upon him finding some questionable things in there rather not talked about, he found a long brown cloak that concealed him well enough and put it on, that also with the donned mask and hat.

"This could work."

Mare Do Well's ceremony went stagnant when Rainbow Dash chased her to learn her secret identity with had everypony present to be very confused on the situation but Mayor Mare wanted to keep things as much in order as it could've been.

"Um please everypony remain calm, I'm sure that once both mares has settle their differences with each other and we'll all laugh about." Mayor Mare said while calmly smiling as most of the crowd of Ponyvile started to laugh a little when they think the situations going to alright....all but some, predictably three.

"Is it me or that speech seem like she's trying to cover up the situation?" Sweetie Belle asked her other crusaders.

"Ya noticed it too huh" Apple Bloom confirming her shared suspicion.

"What I don't understand is what made Rainbow Dash chase Mare Do Well down like that, she's done nothing but help." Scootaloo added with both crusaders nodding in agreement but then Scootaloo started to notice something odd.

"Wait where are both of your sisters?" Scootaloo questioned the two but then they started to look around and saw that their sisters were no where to be seen.

"Huh we..don't know...Applejack!" Apple Bloom started calling out to see if her sister was here but she heard nothing.

"Rarity! Where are you!" Sweetie Belle then tried to call out to her sister and got the same result out of it.

"Speaking of which where's Twilight? She was right behind us." Scootaloo mentioned with Sweetie Belle catching onto the trend.

"Fluttershy's gone too and I don't think I've seen Pinkie Pie once." Sweetie Belle said.

"I don't think we've seen Spike at all either, what do think happened to them?" Apple Bloom questioned.

"I don't know but we have to find out." Scootaloo stated with a smile as she and her fellow crusaders got what she meant.

"CUTIE MARK CRUSAUDERS ELEMENT AND DRAGON FINDERS YA-" As the three friends didn't even begin their mission when something was heard my everypony present.

"Pony's of Ponyville!!" A booming voice was heard as everypony looked up to see too figures on top of building jump down Infront of large crowd.

"You're town's so called hero's have brought is disgrace and humiliation upon our civilization and we will have our revenge!!!" Spot declared.

Mayor Mare decided to talk this out while still on the podium.

"Look sirs, I'm sure if we talk this out we could come to a peaceful solut--" before Mayor Mare could finish her statement.

"Let slip the dogs of WAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!" Fido yelled as he pulled out the dog whistle and blew on it.

Then all of a sudden rumbling could be heard as what looked like hundreds(but was really just 45) all came racing down the streets all at once as the resident of Ponyville's were cornered with now way to just escape with leaving most of them behind.

"We've felt the sting of Pony-Kind, now feel ours." Spot proclaimed.

"And it would be felt for generations." Fido adding on.

'This is it."

A shadow jumped into the crowd of Dogs and the...

"Ugh." A hound shouted as they were thrown.

"Ugggghhh."

"Nooo." Multiple dogs were being thrown in different direction running away from the threat.

"What is going on." Both leaders exclaimed.

Once his plan has been figured out from the remaining hounds he jumped on top of a near by lamppost making his presence known by every-creature.

Whispers started to popped out from the ponies.

"Who is that."

"Their so small."

"Why are they wearing Mare Do Well's mask."

The figured then jumped down Infront of the remaining dogs.

"You fleabags are going to leave these Ponies alone, NOW!" The figure said in an disguised voice while the remaining leaders failed to take him seriously.

"Like we're going to bow down to a shrimp like you." Fido said imposingly as he blew the whistle again.

"Attack the Half-Pint!" Spot commanded as the hounds charged towards the disguised Spike.

'You can do this.' Spike then charged towards the hounds himself.

Using the skills he practiced Spike punched a few of the hounds unconscious, some had him cornered so he used his agility to jump above them and strike leaving them again unconscious, but Spike then got a little winded and let his guard down which the hounds used to attack him head, some got in a good few punches and kicks with some unflattering claw tattered on his makeshift cloak and mask but it didn't so slow him down as he quickly decreased the hound numbers al the while the Ponies marveled at the mysterious creature's skills.

As the fight went on went on Spot and Fido grew more anxious as they saw their numbers quickly depleting before their eyes.

'Last one.' Spike quickly thought as he uppercut the last hound into lamppost. Spot and Fido watched as the mysterious figure stand in wake as all their forces laid unconscious on the ground, then the figure started walking towards them with Fido having enough and started charging towards himself.

"We're not going down without a fig-" Fido was cut off as he was punched in the stomach hard, leaving him in a fetal position whimpering as the figure walked towards the last dog. Spot then started to shake uncontrollably, he tried to run but his legs wouldn't move as the small figure stopped right in front of him.

"Who-Who are you?" Spot asked meekly.

"Just a long Spider." The figure answered before punching him straight in the face knocking him out the last Diamond Dog.

'That was harder than I thought, as expected but still oww.'

Spike then looked at the crowd of ponies looking at him in astonishment.

"It alright now guys." The mysterious figure said to crowd.

'I should get out of here before-'

"Thank goodness we've dealt with that...mess?" Rainbow Dash said as she and the rest of the Main 6 with Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Applejack wearing the whole Mare Do Well suit reentering the ceremony as they stared dumbfounded at the scene in front them.

"What happened here?" Twilight asked as she and the rest of the Main 6 then turned to the crowd who was still staring at the small mysterious cloaked figure wearing a Mare Do Well mask, as the figure looked back at them with a stare.

'Wow ok, I really didn't prepare for if this happened.'

"Uhhh....somebody call the pound." The figure said jokingly as most of the Main 6 stared plainly.

"HaaaaHaaaHaHa....pound because of all...the dogs haaahaahaa." Pinkie Pie laughed as the rest of the Main 6 stared at her with slight irritation.

"What? Even bad jokes are still jokes." Pinkie Pie retorted as she smiled cheekily.

'If it wasn't implied, I think it's time to get out of here.'

"Hey look, if my comedy routine over I'll just exit stage." The figure said before he turned around to walk away.

"Now hold up there kid," Rainbow Dash said as she blocked Spike's path.

"You are going to take off that mask, tell us who and what you are, and tell us what happened here." Rainbow Dash said as the rest of the Main 6 stood by her side also blocking Spike's path.

'Kinda cornered here, need a swift exit.' Spike thought subtly looking for a way out before spying a near by lamppost.

'I'll need to be quick about this.'

"Thanks for the invite, I didn't think you'll be level-headed about this but," Spike said before jumping onto the near lamppost then summersaulted onto the a nearby house.

"Removing the mask is a huge no-no." Spike jumped from building to building as fast as he can knowing he'll be pursued.

"Hey, get back here." Rainbow Dash rushes after him and within her getting 5 minutes into her pursuit, she loses him.

"Urrgggh" Rainbow Dash screams as she flies back to the ceremony as she races back Spike is hiding in an alley watching her retreat, he takes off his mask and hat revealing his battered face with a black eye while heavily panting.

"Not too shabby." Spike said while looking at the mask before tossing them both back on and jumped back onto from roof to roof making his way back to the library.

Rainbow Dash returned to the ceremony with the downed expression with Twilight trying to wake up Spot and Fido.

"Uggh...he got away." Rainbow Dash muttered.

"From you, how?" Rarity questioned.

"He just got lucky alright!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed.

"Who was that guy?" Rainbow Dash questioned.

"Hey, maybe he's a fan and wanted to get our autograph!! I mean he was wearing our mask after all." Pinkie Pie said
excitedly.

"I don't know about that, he didn't seem like a mere fan." Rarity stated.

"More like he had no option else." Applejack added on.

"Yeah but we still don't know what he was doing here with all of these dogs." Twilight pointed out.

"He was saving us." Scootaloo said as she, Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom ran up to the Main 6.

"What makes you say that squirt?" Rainbow Dash questioned the orange filly.

"He protected us while you all weren't there." Sweetie Belle explained.

"He fought of all of their dogs trying to hurt us as their grand act of revenge. Isn't that right everypony!" Apple Bloom said as she receive agreement from almost everypony present, but that didn't convince the Main 6 though.

"Did the guy even say his name." Rainbow Dash questioned.

"I may have heard it wrong but I think he said he was 'The Spider'." Apple Bloom said as this caught the Main 6 attention.

"A Spider." Fluttershy questioned.

"I'm really not sure about this guy." Applejack stated her concern.

"I agree with you there Applejack, but one thing that's clear is that he's begging for a costume change, it certainly doesn't get any points for originality." Rarity added on.

"Maybe he was just trying to help." Fluttershy said.

"Uhhh...is it just because he called himself 'Spider', shy?" Rainbow Dash asked with quotations.

"Well, Spider are soft and cuddly so why can't he?" Fluttershy asked expectantly.

"Fluttershy I don't think what he did here classifies as cute and cuddly." Rainbow Dash stated while Scootaloo noticed something weird.

"Uhhhh...why are you three wearing a Mare Do Well costume." Scootaloo questioned Pinkie Pie, Twilight and Applejack.

"Oh that's a long story, well you see-" Pinkie Pie's explanation was cut short by Sweetie Belle as she came to a horrible realization.

"Wait! Was Spike with you at all?" Sweetie Belle asked the Main 6.

"No, why" Twilight asked as the rest of the CMC caught onto Sweetie Belle's point.

"He said he was coming to the ceremony too." Scootaloo said.

"And if those dogs attacked here, who said they couldn't have attacked anywhere else." Apple Bloom pointed out worryingly as all of the Main 6 gasped.

"Then we have to get to him fast." Rainbow Dash stated as the others agreed with the Main 6 and the Cutie Mark Crusaders raced to the library.

To be continued...

Author's Note

Oh man....

Let me just say to everyone that has stuck by me thought my story, wait patently for it. My Summer so far has been absolute chaos that I haven't been able to work on my stories.

I've had the script for this story for months that I've wait until not to actually put it into the final product.

For now that's enough of self=pity, sorry for me being MIA for months but that's enough of it for now.

But I have seen an increase in the 'Spike as Spider-Man' concept and I feel such joy that just maybe I had helped start something that has been dead-silent.

Sorry if this is a little drawn out but it's still worth it to effectively-in my eyes-make Spike uphold the Spider-Man mantle.

I promise to be more actively engaged on Fimfiction, for this story and on the site as a whole.

Until next time, see ya later.

An Interesting Aftermath

Spike had just gotten back to the library after the Diamond Dog fight, and he was feeling like he has been buried alive.

'Oh...man, I really need to remind myself to at least stretch before I take on my next Litter of Diamond Dogs.' Spike painfully thought as he entered the front door of the library.

'Wait, Is it called a kennel? Or a pack? Oh Whatever, A group of dogs or whatever creatures I fight next...Have I even critically thought about what I'm actually going to do with these spectacular powers, ever.' Spike for a second...before ultimately shrugging it off due to his exhaustion.

'Ugh...maybe next fight.' Spike thought as he took of his mask and continued upstairs to be greeted by Owlowisious who was distressed once he saw Spike.

"Hoo?!" Owlowisious exclaimed as he worry, which made Spike confused over what was wrong, and his first thought was with what he's wearing.

"Oh...uhh...this, this is just simple outfit for staying under...cover?" Spike said even more confused as Owlowisious flew to Twilight's work desk, and came back with a mirror so Spike could see what he's seeing as Owlowisious pointed the mirror towards Spike's face.

"Oh man!" Spike also exclaimed as he fully witnessed his face was full of bruises and the bloody snot he had gotten from the fight.

"I look like a bruised apple or banana...Wait how am I supposed to hide this?!" Spike nervously exclaimed not knowing what to do, but before he could even think about a plan on the fly...a piercing voice rang throughout the library

"Spike! Are you here?!" Twilight screamed from the bottom floor and multiple hoof steps coming into the library alerting both creatures of their presence.

'Oh no, OH NO!! They can't be here...NOT NOW!' Spike thought in a panic, he couldn't move, Spike had went stiff as so much emotions raced through rushed to his head to keep up with, all the while he heard them galloping up the stairs...he didn't know what to do.

With him being able to do nothing else...he closed his eyes...and prepared for the worse.

"..."

"He's not here?" Spike heard Rainbow Dash.

'...Wait...what?' Spike thought before he slowly opened his eyes to see the Main 6 and the Cutie Mark Crusaders in the room right by him and instantly took a step back to be able to see all of them.

"Spike!" Twilight called out to see if her 'assistant' was still there with all of her friends scanning the room for any trace of him.

"I swear we heard him say he was stopping by the library to drop off something. If he's not here, then where is he." Scootaloo questioned, as she and rest of the CMC was really befuddled by the situation.

"Maybe the little fella's hiding." Applejack suggested to the others.

"Then he would've come out by now because he would've say it was us." Rainbow Dash added.

"If that's the case, Spike wouldn't be hiding from us...would he?" Fluttershy questioned meekly while the other tried to to think of any other reason.

"Well, maybe the dogs may have come in here too?" Apple Bloom saying her hypothesis...before it was shot down by Sweetie Belle

"That's impossible. The library looks untouched." Sweetie Belle argued against Apple Bloom's claim with everyone present to agree to Sweetie Belle's claim.

"Then, maybe he just didn't hear us. Come on out Spikey-Wikey! There's nothing to be afraid of." Rarity called out for the young dragon, and since the others didn't have any other bright ideas, they all began to call out for Spike while looking around the room. Spike was now around the ponies present making sure to not get in their way as he still questioned what was happening.

'Why...can't they...see--' Spike's thought process was soon cut off as he looked at his arms to see that they've turned transparent, then he looked all over his body to see that he's turned all over his body-including his costume-was transparent.

'I'm...INVISABLE?!' Spike realized as he tried to keep in his reaction to this as best as he could so he wouldn't blow his cover.

'B-B-But how is this possible?!' But before Spike could even try to question it for a second longer, he saw the group gather together again with their search being fruitless.

"Girls, it obvious that he is not here." Rainbow Dash said bluntly.

"Then where could he be?" Fluttershy asked still confused while Twilight took a breath so she can quickly come up with a plan.

"Well if he's not here, then we just have to check all around Ponyville until we find him." Twilight proclaimed disheartened.

"But where else can we check?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"All over town if that's what it takes." Twilight answered, determined to find Spike.

"I agree. I mean if they attacked the rally, they could have attacked any--" Pinkie Pie stopped midsentence as she came to a horrible realization.

"MRS.CAKE!!!" Pinkie Pie screamed at the top of her lungs as she raced out the library towards Sugarcube Corner leaving the girls puzzled over what came over their pink friend.

"Uhh...What's going on with Pinkie?" Scootaloo asked still bewildered by Pinkie Pie's actions before Applejack got onto what Pinkie Pie are thinkng.

"Wait, if Pinkie's right and they did attack anywhere," Applejack said before Apple Bloom began to caught onto what Applejack was saying.

"*Gasp* What about Sweet Apples Acres?!" Apple Bloom exclaimed with Rarity also catching on.

"What about Carousel Boutique?!" Rarity also exclaimed with Fluttershy catching on and reacting just like Pinkie Pie.

"My Animals!!!" Fluttershy exclaimed as she flew out the nearest window towards her cottage at speeds to rival Rainbow Dash.

"Fluttershy, wait!" Twilight tried to call out to her but she was out of earshot until Rarity got her attention.

"Y'know both Pinkie and Fluttershy both may have good ideas, darling." Rarity said to Twilight.

"Huh?" Twilight questioned as Applejack continued to explain.

"She's saying that maybe we should split up for the time being, while Rarity and I go check if our homes are still safe, you and Rainbow will go on the lookout for Spike." Applejack said as Twilight thought it over.

"That ain't a bad idea, let's do it." Rainbow Dash said with Twilight agreeing with her.

"Wait, what about us?" Scootaloo asked referring to her and the rest of the CMC.

"You three will stay here just in case Spike comes back to the library." Twilight explained.

"Wait, what?" Scootaloo asked confused.

"We want to look for Spike too." Apple Bloom pleaded with the other CMC members agreeing with her.

"Or at the very least help." Sweetie Belle added on but didn't work with the remaining mares.

"Darling's, we can't risk any of you getting hurt in case any of those...dogs are still in town." Rarity said while gritting her teeth in having to mention those mutts again.

"It's safer for the three of you if you stay here for the time being." Applejack said with the Cutie Mark Crusaders quickly giving up and accepting it.

"Okay." The CMC said simultaneously in a defeated tone.

"All right everypony, let's go." Twilight said as she and the remaining Main 6 galloped out of the library, leaving the CMC-and an invisible Spike) alone in the library.

'They're gone.' Spike thought finally calming down as he tried to get his plan together , his plan was to try to get out of the library and enter looking like he just got in.

'Now, I just have to--oh no!' Spike freaked out as he saw that his claw was slowly becoming uncamouflaged.

With his reflexes, he quickly jumped to the ceiling with a,

*WHOOSH*

With it being partially heard by Sweetie Belle with her ear subtly twitching.

"Hey, did any of you guys hear something?" Sweetie Belle asked suspiciously.

"Uh...no?" Apple Bloom confusingly answered.

"You're probably just hearing things, Sweetie Belle." Scootaloo said, trying to make sense of Sweetie Belle's weird feeling.

"You're-You're probably right." Sweetie Belle concluded as Spike fully became uncamouflaged on the ceiling.

Spike looked at his make-shift costume with the mask and hat being held with his tail and that his plan would be smoke if that his plan would be smoke if the CMC saw him like this.

'I need to get downstairs to the lab quickly.' Spike thought think that would be the best hiding spot for his 'costume'.

He slowly wall crawled on the ceiling towards the stairwell while the CMC was looking in a different direction and quickly made and quickly made his move and swiftly crawled down the stairwell and quickly made is move and swiftly crawled down the stairwell and quickly and quietly made his way downstairs to the lab.

Spike let out a sigh of relief to at least make it as far as he did, but then looked back down to his claws and quietly pondered what happened up there.

"What did that Spider do to me?" He quietly said to himself, a little afraid of the answer he would get.

"..."

"Hoo."

"What the-" Spike jumped and saw Owlowisious flying right next to him.

"Wait, how-did-you?" Spike kept on stammering as he questioned how Owlowiscious got down to the lab so quickly.

"Hoo." Owlowiscious hooted and Spike just kinda shrugged it off, concluding that he wouldn't get an answer.

"Whatever, just stay here for little while, okay?" Spike asked as Owlowiscious perched nearby getting comfortable.

"Hoo." Owlowiscious hooted while nodding, earning a grateful smile from Spike as he quickly took off his outfit and put it and the hat and mask under a table nearby so it stayed hidden but easy for him to find before turning to Owlowiscious again.

"I'll be right back." Spike assured his feathered friend.

"Hoo."

Spike then swiftly walked back upstairs to the first floor and quietly left to exit through the downstairs window...or at least he tried.

*Thud*

Spike slipped on a book and landed on his back.

'I really gotta learn the user's manual for this so-called Spider-Sense.' Spike thought spitefully before picking himself up and dusting himself off, but this was just loud enough for the CMC to rush downstairs to see him recovering from his fall.

"Spike!" The CMC said simultaneously once they saw him.

"Hey you thre-ughh." Spike said being cut off by the CMC catching him in a bone crushing hug.

"We were so worried about you." The CMC cried out all at once, which left him surprised as he was slowly turning blue from the lack of oxygen which the CMC quickly took notice and let go of him.

"Thanks," Spike whimpered out as he regained his breath.

"I was worried too, about the diamond dogs hurting anyone else, or you girls." Spike said still exasperated.

"Wait, is that who done this to you?" Sweetie Belle said as she pointed towards Spike's wounded face.

"Well, yeah." Spike admitted.

"That took real guts Spike." Apple Bloom said with smile which once again left him speechless.

"...You mean me taking a beating?" Spike asked confusingly with Scootaloo continuing.

"It means you helped stick to those diamond dogs, willing to be in their way like that is took a strong kind of creature." Scootaloo said while flashing a smirk while Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom nodded sharing the same thought.

"I appreciate that girls." Spike asked smile before Sweetie Belle got a thought.

" Wait a second. Spike did you see the Spider?" Scootaloo blurted out with Spike becoming confused by what she meant...kind of, but he couldn't convey that.

"The what? Spike asked with a raised brow.

"Well, he wouldn't know if he hadn't even seen the fight." Apple Bloom reminded Scootaloo with Sweetie Belle adding in.

"And he wouldn't have even known what he even looked like.' Sweetie Belle said with Scootaloo defending herself.

"But he'd at least have to have seen a figure parkouring through the roof tops with even Rainbow Dash failing to catch up to him." Scootaloo called to mind.

"Wait, Seriously?" Spike exclaimed actually surprised with what Scootaloo recalled. Spike just thought he got lucky when Rainbow Dash lost track of him. he still does.

...Then Spike realized he's gotten off track and still had to cover his tracks.

"Wait, Wait, Wait. Who is this 'Spider'." Spike asked.

"He's the one who protected us at the rally." Sweetie Belle explained to the dragon.

"I felt like Rainbow Dash was herself was protecting us with how fast he was." Scootaloo energetically sated while jumping up and down with her wings fluttering, leaving Spike a little flattered by her reaction."

"He was like a real superhero, like from those comics you read Spike." Apple Bloom commented to Spike as she watched her with disbelief with Sweetie Belle continuing.

"He was just so..." Sweetie Belle began before Scootaloo and Apple Bloom jumped in.

"AMAZING!" The CMC simultaneously.

Spike couldn't believe it, he was being praised without them even knowing it was him.

'Amazing...huh.' Spike ruminated.

Ponyville quickly went back to normal the next few days after having fixed the minor damages the Diamond Dogs caused to the town, the was still taking about the ever-allusive 'Spider' that hasn't been seen since his appearance the Mare Do Well rally.

Most of the Main 6 was still suspicious of what everypony so-called new hero. Twilight had told the Main 6 to keep an eye out for him, having heard of Twilight's plan, Spike tried to keep himself from using his power unless it was an emergency because of dangerous it became when trying to lose it, seeing as how he faired against the Diamond Dogs alone.

But that didn't stop him for training as much as he could. The coming three months that had passed had been a little more than eventful. Ignoring the usual mess that his life was in, it was interesting. From having to help-more like deal with-in more of the Main 6's problems, Spike helping out with a Apple Family Tradition as a favor for Apple Bloom(which was more fun than he'd thought it'd be.) and a birthday party he could have done without(with a great shiny surprise,), and speaking of which he was still waiting for when Mrs.Cake was going to have her baby.

The Cakes had privately thanked him for protecting Mrs.Cake from the Diamond Dogs, they would have given him the whole store if Spike hadn't talked them out of it, but it meant alot to Spike that they would keep his secret safe, even if they didn't understand(Not sure if he understood.) He hasn't talked to them recently, or most of his friends with getting wrapped up in his own...well.

Spike had hoped that thing's will calmed down so he could finally take a breath and properly think of what he should do with these powers or just himself, but like usual with having to take care of the house, providing for Twilight's pet, Do all of the cooking, having to babysit Twilight and sometimes the Main 6 just because it's 'Twilight's' pleasure, the paperwork and with the added addition to the many many...many test failures there has been for his Web Shooters...it had been a lot for Spike.

But it wasn't even close to over for him yet...

Spike had been walking through Ponyville with a bag full of supplies for his Web-fluid looking dejected, thinking about what transpired last night.

Last Night...

Spike had been in his lab mixing his new batch of Web Fluid and finished with his writing down in his lab notebook that he had been writing the other tests in.

"Web Fluid Test #47:" Spike said out loud as wrote it down.

Spike then took his Web-Fluid and loaded it into his new Web-Cartridges which he then loaded it into his freshly made Web-Shooters. Spike put them on and aimed it at a make-shift practice dummy.

'Come Spikey, this will work...it has to.' Spike thought as he took a breath for extra reassurance.

Then he fired it...

And it exploded webs all over the place.

"*sigh*Another failure." Spike said dismally as he burned the splattered webs, thankful that he hadn't made them fire-proof yet.

"Must have been a problem with the pressure...again." Spike said with more disdain in his voice as he walked back to the table, he took off his Web-Shooters and used his tools he had on the table to get the broken cartridges out, when that was finished, he grabbed his notebook to conclude his test.

"Web Fluid Test #47: Failure."

End Flashback...

Spike looked at his Web Fluid supplies in his bag still fresh with the scars last night. He had been starting to lose hope that this was ever going to work, but if he thought like that Spike wouldn't have quit last night. He built his Web-Shooters and he could make the Fluid work too.

But before he could refocus on getting back to the lab...

*BZZZTTT*

'Wait wha-'

"Whoaa."

"Hey!"

*Thud*

"Ow." Spike groaned before he saw the brown coated colt with a orange mane that had crashed into him.

Not wasting another second, Spike got to his feet to help him up.

"Sorry about that, let me help you up." Spike said offering a claw as the colt took it.

"Thanks...wow." The colt in awe at the dragon, which got the young drake confused for a minute.

"Wow, I never thought I'd meet a real life dragon before." The young colt said.

"Uhh... you must be new to town. Hi I'm Spike." Spike introduced himself to the young colt.

"You too, My name's Button Mash." Button Mash said as he shacked his claw.

"Great to meet ya." Spike said as he smiled towards the newly acquainted colt.

"I'd never thought I'd meet a dragon when I moved to Ponyville." Button Mash said before Spike noticed something on the ground.

"Hey, you dropped something." Spike said, pointing to the object on the floor.

"Oh my Joy-Boy, thanks man." Button Mash said as he picked up the device.

"Uhh sorry to pry but, what is that?" Spike questioned, leaving Button Mash stunned.

"You never played Video Games before!?" Button Mash exclaimed with Spike catching onto what Button Mash was getting too. Spike all but knew of Video Games, he was just a bit too busy for that kind of stuff(Even if he wanted to.).

"Oh right, I know about them, I just never had much time to play on before." Spike said while just remembering how much time he had per day, which was not before Button Mash grabbed him by the shoulders.

"You have come over to my house. Wait scratch that, we just moved in. I'll find you later and I'll make it you're best day ever!" Button Mash stated as he galloped away beaming with determination, leaving Spike there flabbergasted.

"..." And also speechless by the looks of it.

*The Next Day*

Spike started his morning off painfully for him, he wanted to ditch Twilight as soon as he was done serving her, but he was stuck trailing her and the rest of the Main 6 as they had their fun together, waiting for them to call it day and go home...until something caught his hearing.

"So Jackie, when are we going to get digging on that trench?" Pinkie Pie asked the farm mare with an awaiting smile.

"Well, it's most likely going to be the day before, so it's still fresh for the migration." Applejack explained to her pink friend with Rarity soon adding in.

"Oh and I'm almost done with my finishing touches for my camouflage and it is going to be fabulous~" Rarity dramatically said with Rainbow Dash sporting a confused look towards her.

"Uhh...isn't the point of camouflage is to hide what you actually look like?" Rainbow Dash said towards the mare in question but the tension was cut off as Fluttershy spoke up to her confusion.

"Um...sorry if I'm interrupting, but what migration are you girls talking about? Is it something like the butterfly migration me and Rainbow Dash went to?" Fluttershy asked with sparkles in her eyes as Rainbow Dash shot a confused look again but to all of her friends(except Fluttershy and Spike) this time.

"You guys didn't tell her about the Dragon Migration?" Rainbow Dash questioned her friends as Fluttershy's face shrunk in fear, while Spike was caught in intrigue.

"We were all busy Rainbow, besides you, the rest of us have responsibilities." Applejack said in the defense of her friends, earning a scowl from the Rainbow haired mare.

"D-D-D-Dragons?" Fluttershy asked meekly in fear as Spike decided to join in on the conversation.

"Waitwaitwait. What is the Dragon Migration." Spike asked the 6 mares(minus Fluttershy).

"Oh it is sooo awesome, every few years, dragons pass overhead of Ponyville during their migration path to a new area," Rainbow Dash said excitedly.

"Most of Ponyvile watches from their homes, but," Rarity chimed in but didn't get far before Twilight decided to interject.

"But we are getting a closer look of it. To actually have this chance to study a dragons directional patterns, is just a opportunity not to pass up!" Twilight exclaimed with more excitement than Rainbow Dash, Spike rolled his eyes at the scene but soon realized something.

"Wait...if they pass by a every few years, they couldn't be using the same path. So how do you guys know where their coming from this time?" Spike asked the present ponies while Fluttershy still seemed paralyzed with fear.

"One of our reports from Princess Celestia said the dragon's flight path during their migration just in case of anything happens." Twilight said with a clueless smile.

'Dragon's...wow, wait why would she say them their "just in case." in her report? and how did Sunbutt even get to know about this in the first place?. Spike thought questionable as he tried to think of an answer, but not before getting interrupted by Twilight.

"Oh and Spike, if you make some pastries for the dragon watching for us, that'll be just great." Twilight said with the same cheeky little smile that Spike had grown to hate, but having been in this type of situation before, he knew he couldn't refuse,...as much as he wanted to.

"Yeah, ok. When is this anyway?" Spike asked them.

"It's just about 3 days away, darling.?" Rarity said with Rainbow Dash still circling them with excitement.

"Oh, this is going to be sooo awesome. Looking at real fire breath- wait where's Fluttershy?" Rainbow Dash questionably asked as they all started to look around to see that their pink-haired friend had fled the scene with anyone noticing.

"Oh I'm sure she's fine. She's probably going home to prepare and was too excited to keep it in!" Pinkie Pie said bouncing in one place as she had strangely managed to get her friends thinking the same thing...but not Spike.

"Yeah...and I'm dragon royalty." Spike said under his breath.

Spike was walking around Ponyville lost in thought over what to think of this whole migration situation and it was perplexing to him...that he didn't see what was approaching him fast.

*BZZZTTTTT* 'Huh.'

"Hey, watch out!" Spike heard somepony say.

'Not this time!' Spike rapidly thought before he flipped out of the pony's crash zone as they skidded across the ground where Spike previously was.

'I really should've tried to catch them.' Spike thought before hasty helping them out.

"Here let me you up." Spike said to the fallen pony with them taking his claw in return and got back to their hooves.

"Thanks...Spike?" The pony asked as Spike instantly recognized the colt.

"Rumble?" Spike asked to them.

"Yeah, we met at the...pegsai water thing." Rumble said to the dragon who shared his plight.

"Yeah, I know. I don't remember what it was called either." Spike also not remembering what it was called. "So how've you been." Spike asked the pegasus.

"Oh I've been great, been getting more training with Thunderlane as part of his training to get into the Wonderbolts mostly so that's happening, but what about you? I haven't seen you around Ponyville as often." Rumble said towards the dragon, which made him feel a little more awkward with Spike not knowing what to say.

"Well it's gotten really busy for me...but a question I have is, what had you...crash like that?" Spike asked, quickly diverting the conversation towards Rumble.

"Oh right. Sorry about that and nice flip by the way." Rumble said while awkwardly smiling.

"Thanks and it's no problem. So what happened." Spike asked the pegasus in question.

"Oh right. So I been starting to train my legs because Thunderlane once said that you have to train all of you're body instead of just you're wings." Rumble began explaining.

"That makes sense." Spike said while not getting where this was hiding.

",and I was running through Ponyville and I..." Rumble said beginning to freeze up.

"Listen, dude...You don't have to say it if you don't want to." Spike said to Rumble to try and release some tension.

"No no I got this. I was running around town and I...slipped on a banana peel." Rumble said in embarrassment.

"Oh."

"And that resulted with slipping and to now." Rumble quickly concluded with Spike also trying to comfort him.

"Hey, I've been in more of my share of embarrassing moments." Spike admitted to the stressed clot.

"Really? Like what?" Rumble asked him.

"Uhh..." Spike looked around until his eyes sat was set upon Sugarcube Corner close by.

"...Well we could about it with a couple of milksh-" Spike was going to suggest before something in yelled at them in the form of another colt.

"Spike!!" Button Mash exclaimed while galloping towards them with a light green saddle bag.

"Button Mash?!" They both exclaimed as they recognized the brown coated colt.

"I brought my game droid with all sorts of- Oh, hey Rumble." Button mash said while recognizing the pegasus.

"Wait, you know him." Spike asked Rumble with a surprised look towards the colt.

"Yeah, he's the new kid, he just joined Miss Cheerilee's class. How do you know him?" Rumble redirected the question back at the dragon.

"Rumble, meet the first pony that crashed into me yesterday." Spike said referring to the brown colt.

"Really?" Rumble questioned Button Mash with a cheekily smirk.

"Yeah, I was kind of in a rush and didn't really watch where I was going." Button Mash admitted with his own embarrassed smile.

"So, What's up?" Spike asked Button Mash.

"Oh, right! I promised you that I'll so you my videogame collection for my game droid," Button Mash said while bringing out his game droid(with Spike being the first time seeing it.)

",even through I have more, this is the only one's that'll fit in my bag." Button Mash said under his breath which both Rumble and Spike heard.

"Well...I was just about to invite Rumble to get some milkshakes, so if he wants to, do you want to come with us?" Spike aske d Button Mash to which he instantly replied.

"Of course! it'll give me an opportunity to show off my gaming skills." Button Mash exclaimed excitedly, which made Spike chuckle before he turned his attention back to pegasus.

"How about it, Rumble?" Spike asked Rumble to which he shrugged carelessly.

"Sure, why not?" Rumble accepted and like that, the trio headed towards Sugarcube Corner and on the way they talked about what kind of milkshakes they liked and loved to which Rumble said Chocolate Swirl Milkshakes, Button Mash said Peanut Butter Milkshakes, and lastly Spike said a Double-Chocolate Milkshakes, to which confused both Rumble and Button Mash.

"What's a Double-Chocolate Milkshake? I don't think I ever heard of them before." Button Mash questioned the dragon with Rumble quickly adding in.

"Yeah, I didn't even know Sugarcube Corner had that flavor." Rumble built on to which Spike excitedly explained to them.

"Oh yeah, it's new. it's like a normal chocolate milkshake but they blend it using brownie batter and it's soo delicious~" Spike explained dreamily to the amusement of Button Mash and Rumble as they walked through Sugarcube Corner's door, and soon a voice called out to them.

"Hi, Spike." The Cake's called out to the dragon from the counter with big smiles, which got the two colts besides looking at him because of the sort of odd behavior.

"Uhh yeah. Why don't you guy's find a seat while I order the milkshakes." Spike said to the two colts.

"Um, sure." Rumble reluctantly agreed as he when to the nearest table.

"Got it." Button Mash followed Rumble to the table as Spike went to the counter to greet the Cakes.

"Uhh...Hi, Mr and Mrs.Cake." Spike nervously said.

"Oh Dearie, how are you today?" Mrs.Cake asked Spike in her usual sweet tone and smile as Mr.Cake went in the back.

"Oh I'm just uh...fine thanks," Spike answered while looking at the two colts getting acquitted with Button Mash showing off the games he bought with him to Rumble.

"More Importantly, how are you and baby doing?" Spike asked the pregnant mare.

"Oh just a little pain here and there, but we're doing great." Mrs.Cake said with gratefulness in her voice. She has been talking like that ever since Spike saved her.

Mr.Cake came out of the back with a familiar cupcake with him.

"Here's your usual, Spike. A Sapphire cupcake with extra Sapphire's just the way you like it and you and your new friends milkshakes are coming soon, on the house." Mr.Cake said as he put Spike's claws.

"Thank you really, but you guys don't really don't have to keep saying thank you like this. I love the gestures, I really do, but I didn't protect you just so I could reap the rewards." Spike generously said to the pair but that didn't faze them.

"Oh no, sir. We know you didn't do it for selfish reason." Mr.Cake warmly but firmly stated which made Spike flinched but before he could say anything.

"You protected our family and you did that just by being yourself." Mrs.Cake continued as she and Mr.Cake came out from behind the counter.

"We'll stop being thankful for what you did." Mr.Cake said thankfully.

"And we won't be stopping anytime soon, so you better get used to it...Mr.Superhero." Mrs.Cake concluded her and her husband's warm thank you, to say simply that the dragon was moved would be an understatement.

"...Superhero." Spike thought as he started to tear up.

"Oh man...you guys are making me tear up." Spike uttered emotionally while Mr and Mrs.Cake bought them him in for a hug, good thing it was a slow day at the bakery so not many ponies were staring at them- save for Button Mash and Rumble -to which Spike noticed out of the corner of his eye...but he didn't want to let go.

Author's Note

So uh...hey guy's:twilightblush:

This kind of seems unfinished for a chapter, that's because it is. I originally had this chapter go on for longer, but because of some personal stuff on my end and how long I've been from my beloved bronies,(can't believe I typed that part.)

Singing To An Empty Audience

"So...What was that all about?" Rumble asked as the small dragon came put to him and Button Mash's table.

"Yeah. It looked like they were thanking you for saving their lives or something." Button Mash said to the dragon, the remark made Spike stiffen a bit because he wasn't wrong.

"Oh no, it's just I helped them a lot the other day. Now I guess they were just...showing their gratitude." Spike said while smiling nervously.

"Well it really had to be something then, huh." Rumble said while playfully ribbing Spike.

"So what are you guys doing now?" Spike asked as he saw Button Mash go through his Saddle Bag while he placed his cupcake down on the table as he sat down with the colts.

"Button just got done info dumping me on one of the many game series that he owns. He said it was 'The Legend of Celestia'...I think." Rumble stated half heartedly to the small dragon but Button Mash suddenly faced up from his Saddle Bag and stared at the pegasus colt.

"Rumble, it's the 'Chronicles Of The Sun Goddess'. It's one of the only game series that even has its own timelines!" Button Mash exclaimed as Spike was just trying to wrap her head around it but only one present thought.

'Of course SunButt has her own videogame.' Spike snidley thought before to his attention to the earthpony colt.

"So what's it about?" Spike asked Button Mash and he saw his eyes glow like he was waiting for Spike to answer that question but before he got the chance to say anything, Rumble cut in.

"To make a very long story -and complicated- story short. it's a love letter on multiple historical texts and multiple creative liberties on retelling on the Princess Celestia's rise to power." Rumble lazily simplified the explanation that Button Mash gave. Spike thought he would be ticked but Spike saw Button look at him with starry eyes.

"You did listen." Button Mash muttered loud enough for the two boys to hear with a big dopey grin on his face.

"Well I didn't say that I didn't listen." Rumble said with a grin which added onto Button's excitement. Spike laughed along with the two of them.

'This great. How did I not meet these guys before?' Spike thought happily to himself.

Spike and the colts talked on for hours about their interests and learned all about them. Both of the colts learned that he loved comic books and kind of teased him by saying he isn't bad at writing either and learned that Rumble seams like a great planner and Button Mash other than being a great gamer is a math genius. And then they just talked about on and on about anything that came to mind. Spike thought he wouldn't feel this with anypony else other than the CMC.

Spike's eyes then widened.

'The Girls!' Spike alarmingly thought before quickly looking to the bakeries nearby clock on the wall to see that-

'I'm late!' Spike thought, trying with every inch of his will power not to blurt it out but his worry became apparent when his friends looked his direction with a concerned look.

"Uh what's wrong, Spike?" Button Mash asked with worry.

"Is it something we said?" Rumble also asked questionably which drew Spike back from his existential crisis.

"Nononono." Spike rapidly replied in a panic, worried that the two colts got the wrong idea.

"I just lost track of time and I promised to meet some friends." Spike explained while smiling cheekily.

"Oh then it's okay that you've got somewhere to be. To be fair I probably should be going back to my training if I ever want to become a Wonderbolt." Rumble admitted.

"And I should probably get back to unpacking the rest of my stuff other than my video games." Button Mash also said with a guilty grin of his own.

"It was greeting getting to hang out with you guys." Spike said to the colts.

"Yeah, this was awesome. We should do this again." Button Mash proposed with an energetic smile.

'Yeah, totally. Thunderlane says that I should get out more instead of just for training." Rumble recalled with an eye roll.

"It's a deal." Spike proclaimed.

"Okay, I'll see you guys later then." Spike got up and hurried out of Sugercube Corner.

"Bye, Spike!" Button Mash said while he and Rumble waved the dragon goodbye.

"See ya later, dude." Rumble also called out.

Spike was now running towards Sweet Apple Acres to meet the CMC in their clubhouse, having been in this position of not wanting to confront rest of the Apple family - Mainly Applejack - Spike then processed to follow off the trail from the farms main gate and then jumped the fence and hurried over to meet his friends.

'Y'know I really should have checked to see if anypony was watching, the last thing I want is anypony accuse me of stealing from the Apple family, well ponies are oblivious sometimes...most of the time. At least that's one trait that I didn't pick u-' Spike's train of thought was cut off when he was tackled by Applejack's energetic pet collie as she endearingly licked his face.

"Okok Winona, cut it out. That tickles hahahaha." Spike uttered in between his chuckles which continued for a bit before Winona hopped off Spike's chest and wagged her tail. Spike slowly got up and turned towards the energetic collie.

"I missed you too." Spike said as he wiped the slobber off his face and then scratched behind her ears.

"*ruff*" Winona warmly barked in response.

"Winona! Where are ya girl?!" The both creature's heard the shout of the country mare as she was looking for her pet. Spike put on an alarmed gaze at the direction the shout came from and decided he spent too much time there before turning back to the collie.

"Um, okay Winona, I have to go see your owner's sister and her friends right now and I don't want to held off, but here's a little send off." Spike said as he picked up a nearby fallen apple and aimed it towards the Apple farm.

"Now go fetch!" Spike exclaimed before throwing the apple so it was air bound and the collie happily chased after the soaring apple, leaving the small dragon behind. Seeing his quickly put together idea work, he left towards his destination.

Spike soon arrived at the CMC's home base and started to walk up the ramp until he reached the door. When Spike answered he saw the Cutie Mark Crusaders working on...something? It looked like some pictures and unfinished notes that he couldn't properly see.

'Maybe it's for their newspaper their said they were working on.' Spike recalled to himself as he saw them still working.

They were so entrapped in their work that they didn't notice Spike walking in, but he noticed something seemed off them, and they were looking a little bit...down while working. Spike decided to work off his nerves and alerted them of his presence.

"Uh...Hey girls." Spike said nervously greeted the CMC. The three looked up from whatever they were working on and saw Spike standing there at the entrance.

"Oh. Hi Spike." Sweetie greeted him back, but to Spike it felt...soulless.

"What's up?" Scootaloo also greeted him, Spike still heard that despondent tone in her voice like when he heard Sweetie Belle.

"Howdy, Spike. How are ya?" Apple Bloom asked Spike, trying to force a small smile.

This bought out a sense of worry in the small dragon. He'd rarely ever see the CMC like this, other than when they failed to get their Cutie Marks, Spike didn't know what this was about but he was determined to figure out what.

"I'm fine. Are you guy's okay? What happened?" Spike asked in a small panic.

"What are you talking about? Nothing's wrong." Apple Bloom said trying to avoid the subject.

"Really? Because you guys sound like something unfortunate happened. Did somepony hurt you guys?" Spike asked with more worry now present in his voice.

"No! it's just..." Scootaloo trailed off, failing to have the confidence to finish her sentence.

"It's...complicated." Sweetie Belle said filling in for Scootaloo. Spike sighed to himself before going to the CMC and joining them on the floor.

"Look, you three don't have to talk about anything you don't want to but I know that whatever this thing is really bothering you and I just want to help anything anyway I can. So whenever you're ready to talk, I'm here." Spike said with a gentle smile.

The CMC looked at each other questioning weather to tell him but eventually they relented.

"Do you...remember our Gabby Gums paper that we have at School. Apple Bloom asked the dragon as he remembered when their first story got published and then he suddenly got a bad feeling but couldn't recall about what.

"Yeah. What about it?" Spike questioned still the fully grasping the situation as Scootaloo decided to speak up again.

"And you remember...Diamond Tiara?" Scootaloo asked Spike.

"...Oh great. What'd she do to you guys this time?" Spike asked with irritation. He fondly remembered the little princess who knows she's a bully to his friends and who fondly remembers her calling him an 'overgrown gecko', he also remembered that she was their editor in chie-...uh oh.

"It wasn't a secret that our last few issues have been a bit...much." Scootaloo said feebly.

"But she wasn't satisfied with anything else we give her sooo- " Apple Bloom started before Sweetie Belle cut here off and continued.

"So we decided to um...up the ante." Sweetie Belle explained while taking a step back for Spike to look at their notes.

Spike then slowly looked at what looked at what they were working on and was shocked by what he saw...well 'shocked' is more of an exaggeration but it was worrying to say the least for the trio.

'This feels...more than just upping the ante.' Spike thought to himself.

"Girls. Don't you all think that this has gone a little bit over the line." Spike admitted to the girls.

"Well what else are we supposed to do, Spike. We can't quit now." Sweetie Belle berated the dragon.

"We have to stick it out to get our Cutie Marks." Scootaloo professed with Apple Bloom reluctantly nodded in agreeance.

Spike needed to deal with this before it got worse, but to do that he needed to really dig deep.

"Listen you girls are some of the greatest fillies that this 'overgrown geckos' have ever have gotten to know and I don't need any mystical insight to know that whatever you guys will do for the rest of you're lives that you'll be great at it and you three know better than to play into Diamond Tiara's next plan for power. Ask youselves this question. 'Is this really what you want for you're destinies?'" Spike asked sincerely.

The CMC was shocked by Spike's speech just now. They just now realized what they were doing wasn't even worth it, especially for Diamond Tiara's sake.

Spike then felt the weight on him as the CMC rushed to hug him tightly.

'Well I'm glad that worked.' Spike thought thankfully.

"We're so sorry Spike!" Sweetie Belle cried out to the drake.

"We didn't mean to so lost in this stupid paper." Scootaloo tried to explain to him as they separated from the hug.

"Oh come on, There's no need for that. We're friends it's just in our job descriptions." Spike honestly said with smile with was reflected by the three fillies.

"Well then. Thank you for being our friend." Apple Bloom said.

"Our coolest friend!" Scootaloo added on which made the dragon blush and averted his eyes.

"Oh you guys really know how to flatter a dragon." Spike said bashfully as the fillies giggles at his reaction.

"Well getting back on track, I think we know how to fix this mess. If you catch my drift girls." Sweetie Belle said with a smug smile as the rest of the CMC got what she was thinking and shared the same smug smile.

"Hahaha you're so evil Sweetie Belle and I love it." Scootaloo responded with the unicorn filly with Apple Bloom gathering all of their notes from off the ground put it in the saddlebag and it on.

"Let's go girls. We'll see you later, Spike!" Apple Bloom said as she and the rest of the CMC raced out the leaving Spike alone in the clubhouse.

"Well I think that went well?" Spike said to himself.

"Well I really should get back to the lab." Spike said as he headed out the clubhouse.

"Agh" Spike woke up in cold sweat to see that he wasn't even on his bed.

He fell asleep on the the labs work desk while working on his web shooters. Spike looked around to see Owlicious sleeping on his perch next to him and saw that it was at least 4 in morning and then turned back to the desk and sighed.

'That memory. I haven't remembered that in a long time.' Spike recollected to himself.

'And I used to love performing.' An out of the thought came to Spike in a rush but shook it off. He looked towards the nightstand with a clock and said that it was rather early but then remembered something.

"The Dragon Migration...right. I can't believe that I spent this long on this desk and I'm no where near close to this thing." Spike said tiredly as he got up.

"I should maybe get those desserts ready while I'm up." Spike said as he went upstairs to the kitchen.

𝒮𝑜𝓂𝑒 𝒯𝒾𝓂𝑒 𝐿𝒶𝓉𝑒𝓇

Now Spike was now in a trench with the Main 6 waiting for the dragons to pass them by.

“Ahoy, Mateys! Dragons Ho!” Pinkie quietly called out as the wave of dragons came rolling in, it was an amazing sight to see especially for Spike, he saw multiple dragons, big and small, ones with wings and ones without, he even saw multiple dragons carrying what looks like supplies, big ones too.

“Ooh!”

“Aah”

Spike was broken out of his thoughts by the Main 6 awwing at the scene above them.

“Amazing!” He heard Twilight say in response to a dragon doing a barrel roll but Rainbow Dash just blew a raspberry at the trick.

“Pretty lame move. Is that all they got?” Rainbow Dash said unimpressed before a dragon knocked into another one and let a roar of flames near the trench while most of the Main 6 took cover with only Rainbow Dash face getting slightly singed, Spike smiled at this.

'That’ll shut her up.’ Spike thought in jubilance and it seems like Spike wasn’t the only one taking joy in this.

“What do you think of that move, Rainbow Dash? Still think they’re lame?” Applejack asked with her own cheeky grin to Rainbow whose face seemed startled along with singed.

“Uh, not so much. The word ‘fierce’ comes to mind.” Rainbow Dash said still a bit terrified, which was still a sight to see for Spike.

“And ‘Formidable’.” Rarity added her own adjective to the mix.

“And ‘Super-Duper Scary’.” Pinkie Pie said while cowering in fear while holding her hoof up. Noticing her signal, Spike handed her a cupcake to which she instantly perked up.

“Well, it makes you rethink the phrase ‘force to be reckoned with’, huh. Especially if you are one of their kind after all.” Spike said, putting in his two cents into the conversation and then handed a cookie to Applejack, all while staring at the dragons still flying above them until his attention was pulled back to Rainbow Dash as she burst out laughing and he just realized that she was laughing at him.

“Yeah, Right, Spike! That look really is a force to be reckoned with! ” Rainbow Dash said before bursting into laughter again, this time with Applejack and Pinkie Pie joining in his mocking.

Spike was a little confused by this until looked down and saw that he was wearing a bright pink apron with a heart on it.

‘Wow. I completely forgot I put this on.’ Spike thought to himself before refocusing on the pegasus mare.

“Yeah, so?” Spike asked plainly not caring about her point behind.

"A lame look for the lamest dragon!" Rainbow said while still laughing. Now Spike was offended.

“You leave him alone, Rainbow Dash. Spike’s style is unique.” Rarity stated, which kind of left Spike a little surprised, he was going to thank her until…

“He doesn’t have to look like other dragons.” Rarity concluded that this comment made Spike take back his praise.

“Or act like them.” Twilight decided to add on, which didn’t help things.

“My Little Spike-Wikey is perfect the way he is.” Rarity said while flicking his head spikes. It was more than said that Spike was a bit more angry by what was being insinuated.

“I don’t act like other dragons, huh.” Spike asked while folding his arms with an obviously annoyed tone.

“Oh, not even close.” Pinkie Pie jumping in to answer his question but not getting his mood.

“But why would you want to, Spike?” Applejack asked clueless.

“Yes. You’ve got something those dreadfully fierce dragons can only dream of.” Rarity said towards the drake in question.

“And what’s that?” Spike asked with his brow raised but was unable to see what she was about to do.

“Your cutest, whittle chubby cheeks. Ooh!” Rarity cooed while she grabbed Spike’s cheeks to which he fully responded with.

“Okok enough.” Spike declared while getting Rarity’s hooves off his face as he took a step back.

“Spike-Wikey? What’s wrong?” Rarity asked worryingly as she and rest of the girls looked at him.

“You can’t just do that to a creature, Rarity. It’s not endearing, it's just weird.” Spike said towards the white unicorn.

“Come on, Spike. It’s just a little jesting.” Twilight tried to settle the little dragon.

A bunch of memories once again slip through to Spike as he was always rendered the bad guys no matter who was on the receiving end.

Spike opened his eyes and a vengeful look was shown in them and he wanted to release hell…but.

“It looks like I’m not welcome anymore. I’ll just take my leave.” Spike said bitterly to the girls.

“Spikey wait!” Rarity tried to stop Spike but he ignored her while the rest of the girls looked upon with worried expressions.
