end flashback
What she had said back there really hurt him,he had failed everypony and she hates him. Truth be told: He really liked her, he was just really good at hiding his emotions. Especially if it's fear of being rejected,he couldn't risk it of telling her.
He sighed as he let a few tears fall from his face, He gave up; Twilight clearly hates him, Orion has failed and he has failed Illusia as well. If one thing scares Comet the most: It was absolute failure.
"I don't believe this. How could I ever think that she'll believe me. No less side with me, it's a friend of hers." He sighed as he kept trotting deep into the woods.
"I've finally found the mare that I saw upon the waterfall. 9 years later, It was Twilight Sparkle and she completely hates me. I should just give up and stop putting my friends involve. Orion has already anyways" He said to himself.
He stop by under a tree and sat down, crying to himself of his failure and the words that Twilight had said. However, footsteps could be heard throughout the forest. Quickly putting his face up to observed, Comet thought it was an manticore or ursa minor ready to eat him up. He gulped and got up, he may had been depressed, but he can still fight.
"COMET!! COMET!!!" Somepony called to him.
Comet's ears perked up as he looked around to see a purple baby dragon walking up to him. "S-spike?!"
"Comet!" The purple dragon ran up and hugged him,
Comet was surprised but quickly returned the hugged.
"H-Hey kiddo..." He spoke with an broken voice.
"Comet! I believe Twilight isn't herself." Spike declared. Comet looked at the seriousness of the baby dragon's face and shook his head.
"No. She's right, I am nothing but a failure. I failed myself, her, my friends, you and possibly...everypony. I always jump into things without thinking. My best friend, Graphite Crescent...he was being control by an evil entity named King Sombra. I had failed to bring him back. I fail at eveything Spike...I am Comet Fai-" He was cut off by a punched to the face.
When the yellow unicorn quickly recovered from the impact, he gazed at Spike's angry yet sorrowful face.
"Stop saying you're a failure! So you made a couple of mistakes, big freakin woop! I make mistakes all the time and so does Twilight! But it's what the mistakes we made makes us ponies or dragons in my case! We are different yet the same in the same time! Nopony is perfect and neither is you! You should pick yourself up and save Twilight before it's too late! If you don't save her now. It could me the end of you two being together and your friendships with Twilight's friends. I'm not gonna let that happen! Do you know what you taught me 3 years ago?! You taught me that nothing is impossible! If you keep striving for what you believe in and fight for it, you can make it to a reality! You! YOU COMET TAIL!! You taught the importance of believing in yourself. Your the element of believing, and it's time to live up that elements name! Whaddya say Comet?" Spike asked after he was done with his speech.
Comet had alot of time to think about what Spike said and you want to know something? He was right. He shouldn't just give up, what would his mother and father think if he decide to stop now. He had a mare and some friends to save, and he was not going to give up. Not now, not tomorrow and especially not ever. He turned to the baby dragon and smiled.
"Thanks Spike, for cheering me up" He thanked.
"Hey, no need. Besides, you were going to flood the whole forest with your tears. I was worried about the animals more" He joked.
Getting that he was joking, Comet and Spike shared a good laughed. However, that laughed was interrupted by the sound of snickering. The yellow unicorn turned to the source to find 2 dragons, one red and the other is purple with blonde hair that covered his face.
"Well if it isn't Spike the little waybee baby dragon!" the familiar voice spoke.
"G-Garble?! F-Fume?! What are you two doing here?!" asked an visibly scared Spike.
"Garble? Fume? Just who are they?" thought Comet.
"Hey Spike. Do you know these dragons?" asked Comet.
"Unfortunately yes. About 2 years ago, they made me steal a phoenix egg and wanted to smash it. Of course I didn't do it, but they attacked me, Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight. It was a good thing we escaped unharmed though." Spike explained, not leaving his eye contact with the dragons.
"What?! They attacked them?! Especially Twilight? They're gonna pay for that!" He thought with anger.
"Yeah! That was pretty messed up for not smashing that egg Spike! But it's all good! Because we are not here for you! Were for that yellow unicorn!" Garble said while pointed a claw at Comet.
Comet got in the defensive and glared at them, readying to fight.
"What? What do you need him for?!" Spike asked!
"Not that it's any of ya business Spike. But Orion has paid me and Garble double if we 'finish off' Comet Tail. Boy does he want you dead!"Fume explained with a dark chuckle.
Spike backed up in fear as Comet advanced a bit.
"Spike! Leave now!" He ordered.
"But Comet! They'll murder you! I can't just leave you there!!" He replied.
"SPIKE!! LEAVE!! NOW!!" He roared.
Spike, realizing that he was serious decide to at least get out of the fighting area and hid behind a tree. He watched Comet getting ready to off the 2 dragons.
Garble charged at Comet Tail, using quick thinking skills; Comet flew upwards in the air and smirked.
"HE CAN FLY?!?" thought Spike.
Fume just stood there waiting for the right opportunity to strike, Garble got angry and shot a stream of fire at Comet. Comet then use an shield spell to protect himself from the flame. Garble then charge at Comet again and went swipe his claw at him. Comet's horn clashed with claw and this continued for a bit until Garble dodged an strike Comet made. The red dragon smirked and tail smacked him to the ground.
"Guaaah!" Comet coughed up as he was slammed to the ground.
Fume just continued to watch the fight, getting ready to attack as well.
Garble charged downwards at Comet getting ready to swipe him with a claw. Comet quickly got up and shot an blue energy blast from his horn at the dragon. Garble dodge it and was met with an hard hoof punch to the face by Comet.
"Oh my Celestia. He's really doing it. Wow" Spike said with amazement.
Swipe after Swipe, Hoof after Hoof, canceling eachother's attacks. Until Comet turned around bucked Garble hard in the stomach. The Dragon flew to a tree and Comet was about to charge at him with his horn ready.
"It ends here!" Comet shouted until Fume stepped in and slapped him away with his tail. Comet flew into a tree and hit the ground.
"aaauuugggh!" Comet screamed in pain.
Garble recovered and held on to his stomach a bit as he approached Fume.
"Man, what the tartarus did all that come from?" He asked.
"He dangerous today. Something's got him fired up. Let's work it together." Fume advised as they both fazed out.
Spike knew this was coming and had to warn Comet.
"COMET LOOK OUT!!" He shouted.
Comet slowly got up and was kicked in the stomached by fume, claw in the face by garble and tail slapped by both of the dragons in the same time.
"No!" Spike shouted as he charged in.
Fume grinned as blew fire at the baby dragon. But thanks to being a dragon himself, the flames didn't hurt that much. Spike quickly recovered from the attack and got into a fighting position.
"Ya better get out of here while you still can Spike. This has nothing to do with ya" Fume said.
"And leave my friend so you two can gang up on him. I see how you two operate, you're cruel!" Spike spat as he charged with a fury of swipes which were all dodged. Fume grinned and sent a few of punches and swipes of his own as they landed on Spike. But the baby dragon didn't give up as he kept assaulting Fume. Having enough of this, Fume swipe Spike in the face, but the baby dragon quickly recovered and kicked him the stomach.
"GAH!!" Fume coughed.
This had pissed off the older dragon as he kicked Spike to a tree. Fume walked off to the injured baby dragon and smirked at him.
"G-go ahead...a-and do it.....you.....FREAK!!!" Spike shouted.
That sent Fume off the edge and he prepared to blow a great fire ball at the baby dragon, preparing to end his life.
Comet, who was too busy fighting off Garble saw this and quickly went after the baby dragon to save.
"I'm coming Spike!" He shouted.
"Oh no you don't!" Garble shouted as he blew fire at the yellow unicorn. Comet gave Fume a good hoof punch to the face and grabbed Spike.
The fireball that Garble shot out hit Spike full force, knocking him unconscious.
"DIE!!" Fume shouted out as shot out a fire ball.
Comet took the fireball to the back and screeched in pain to shield Spike from anymore harm. Comet quickly ran off with Spike to retreat and find better shelter.
Garble and Fume soon shot out fireball after fireball to find them and kill them. Comet, who was hiding behind a rock was watching the flames scorching everything, including the poor animals. It was a terrible sight to behold. Those bastards are seriously going to pay for their crimes.
Garble and Fume stopped their assault and begin to look around.
"How can he give us the slip?" Asked Garble.
"I don't know! And we said were going to finish him off!" Retorted Fume
"It makes us look bad, If we say were going to do something! We need to do that! Don't forget that our bits are on the line" Fume added.
Comet was desperately trying not to make any noise since the 2 dragons were very close. He took one look at Spike's unconscious body.
"I'm sorry you were dragged into this Spike" thought Comet
"I know that! But he got away! Get it! Ugh!...Let's just torched the whole area! We might get lucky!" Garble said.
"Cool!" Fume replied with a smirk.
The 2 dragons flew up shot out 2 giant fireballs at the forest area. An explosion happened that scorched almost the whole forest, minus 2 houses. Almost all the animals were dead and burnt trees and grass were everywhere.
"Did you think we got him?" Asked Fume.
"I dunno, did you hear any yells or anything like that?" Replied Garble.
"No"
"Then we didn't get him"
"How do you know? He's tough remember? He probably wouldn't yell anyways"
"That would bite if we did get him but didn't know it"
"Why? What difference would it make?"
"Because we wouldn't know if we got him or not. So goodbye bits"
"Oh yeah, man...that sucks. What now? What?!"
"Let's get out of here" Garble smirked. The 2 dragons took off, leaving the burnt forest. However, Comet and Spike survived.
Comet was covered in burnt marks and his whole right foreleg was burnt to a crisp. However, there was more, Comet's horn, was blown off.
"aaa....ahhh....ahhhrrrgh!" He seethed in pain as he crawled in pain towards Spike who also was covered in burns.
He panted in pain as he got a bit close to spike, but still not close enough to reach. He gathered up some energy in his broken in half horn. The pain was almost unbearable, but he needed to save Spike. He looked at his scorched foreleg and winced in pain when he touched it.
"Kind of...like my horn...almost obsolete....." He muttered in pain.
He looked at Spike and panted in pain.
"Now Comet. What would Shining Armor do?" He asked himself as he grunted in pain. He crawled towards Spike and soon got closer to him.
"Hey Spike....I'm sorry you were dragged into this." Comet said as he broken his glowed and the some aura glowed around Spike.
"Live Spike...you got to live....aaaauuuhh..." He spoke before he lost consciousness.
