Unexpected additions
I own nothing
Chapter one: melodic arrival
Equestria has been in peace ever since the famed Twilight Sparkle became a Alicorn and was crowned a princess two years ago. She is now a widely known professor of the magical arts but some say that the dark energy she had as a child still stays, one day to be released and destroy the world. Fluttershy is a professional animal vet and caretaker, every year she receives animals from all over the world to take care of and in some cases study, lately though they have been disappearing. Rarity is a personal wardrobe designer of a prince in a foreign land deep in the west, past where the dragons den is. Rainbow dash is a supervisor at the reopened rainbow factory in Cloudsdale, oddly though some ponies have gone missing that lived near Cloudsdale. Pinkiepie is a well known new owner of sugar cube corner ever since the two recent owners moved out from there unexpectedly, or so she says at least. Applejack still works at sweet apple acres and has turned the place into a giant farm, shipping out exports by the millions every year, but where's her family, where's everyone near that place? Spike is now a personal helper to two ponies that live together, in fact, they are the ponies that will witness a broken life, then the birth of a new one.
"Spiiiiiiiike!" Octavia called out, her favorite drink was gone from the fridge and Vinyl had been gone from the house all day. "y-yes Octavia?" "Spike, where is my aligatorade?" "I uhh don't know heh " he laughed nervously. "Spike dear, it's ok that you drank it, just please next time, ask." Spike looked up at her and smiled, nodding, admitting to his crime. Suddenly the door busted open, a drunk Vinyl wandered in "hey, hiccup, Octavia, how're you, heh?" she stumbled up to Octavia. "Ugh, how vulgar, I'm fine Vinyl, thank you for asking, Spike, please take her to her room" "Come on Vinyl" Spike grabbed her hoof but Vinyl took her hand back "No Octavia, what's wrong with you? can't have a little fun?" she asked, still slurring her words but not drunk enough to not know what she was saying. "Excuse me little miss out of control, but being a uncouth, party drunk, little slob is not my definition of "fun" thank you very much" "Excuse me, hiccup, but being a snotty, so called "Fancy" brat isn't my definition of fun either" The two started really going at it, Spike tried to stop them "Guys, please stop" she said, rushing into the conversation but Vinyl slapped him away "Spike! Vinyl! that was not necessary at all!" Octavia said, Spike was hurt both physically and mentally, he rushed up to his room "No, Spike, wait, I'm sorry…" Vinyl said but Octavia finally had enough of it "Vinyl, get out, I can't take this anymore, ill pay you back your portion for the house but just get out…" Octavia said, tears forming in her eyes, Vinyl wanted to try again but she couldn't bring herself to hurt her anymore. "I'm sorry Octavia, just…keep the money I'll go" Vinyl turned around and left, Octavia never turned around, Right as Vinyl left she turned and looked at Octavia then broke out crying, running off to Celestia knows where. Octavia looked into Vinyl's room but it was empty, Vinyl had been planning to leave this entire time, she already had a place with Neon lights and moved there already, how had she not noticed? "Oh dear Vinyl, I'm sorry, I hope we can meet again…"
A few hours later, 12:00 PM
"Octavia! Wake up!" Spike yelled from outside, watching a glowing spiral form over the evergreen woods. "Ugh, what do you want at this time of, oh my god" Octavia stared at the spiral of changing colors, some she didn't even knew existed. Octavia was a smart pony but even she couldn't hold her curiosity, she grabbed Spike and placed him on her back and took off into the evergreen woods. "Whoa Octavia! The woods are dangerous!" "I know spike but I must know what is in here" She continued running in, as she got closer she noticed a growing melody coming from the direction of the spiral, it was beautiful, a mix of string and brass instruments mixing together perfectly to create one of the greatest ensemble pieces she has ever heard. She stopped, Spike and Octavia had been stuck in a hedge maze now, no one had ever been this far into the evergreen woods, not even Zecora, and if they have, something tells them they never got out. "Now what Octavia? We can't go forward can we?" "Yes we can Spike, just listen for the music" she opened her ears up, listening for the path where the music seemed the loudest, she went deeper into the maze, twisting and turning, slowly walking through it. The music became loud as they got ever so closer to it, and louder, and louder, then finally, silence. They were under the spiral, in a wide open field in the middle of the evergreen woods.
"Spike? what is it?" "Octavia, I have a bad feeling about this, maybe someone should go back and map out a path to get back, oh idea, I will" He jumped off then looked back at the woods, red eyes appeared from the woods "On second thought, never mind!" he ran back to Octavia and climbed onto her back. "Silly Spike, come on" she walked towards the middle of the spiral, where a bright light touched the ground. Octavia walked into the light where she suddenly heard a soft harmony, like a babies lullaby but even softer, then a voice. "Thank you for answering my call Octavia, Please, take this odd creature and raise him as one of us" Octavia recognized the voice, Princess Luna "But why Princess?" she asked "So he can finally have a family, a mother and father, and eventually become one of us, mentally, and physically" "i…shall princess" she responded. Spike was silent, he could hear the voice too but was too afraid to speak until. "And Spike, please help her, she will need it" She said, Spike nodded and smiled to Octavia, who smiled back. "Thank you, both of you" The light began to engulf them, the light was soft to the eyes and nice to the touch, this light was magical. When it subsided, they were back at Octavia's house, Spike was holding a baby, a baby with fingers and a opposable thumb, light skin, bright orange eyes, a small nose, and he was holding a small toy brass instrument. He was a human, a human boy, a naked human boy. "So he's a….stallion then?" Octavia asked Spike "I think." He responded. Spike placed him on the couch and got a blanket to wrap around him. He fell asleep immediately. "He's cute" Spike said, staring at him with a slight smile. "Yes he is, and I think we should name him, I'll name him…Bass beat" She said as she lied down next to Bass, and fell asleep with him. Spike soon joined after her.
Thirteen years later
"Mom? Time to wake up" Bass said, slowly rousing Octavia from her sleep. "Ugh, why now Bass, can't I sleep a bit more?" She asked. "No mom! you promised that you would finally take me with you to see the girl that gives you jewels to feed spike!" "I know I know… Alright dear, I'm up, go eat breakfast, we'll leave after" "Alright!" Bass jumped downstairs, nearly tripping and sat down at the table just as Spike came out of the kitchen "Sup Bass, today's the day you finally get to leave the house right?" Spike said, bro fisting Bass. "Yeah it is! I'm finally gonna meet this girl that gives you the jewels" "Yeah, that girl's name is Fluttershy and she orders those jewels from a old friend of mine" "Oh cool" They began eating. Bass had grown rather large in the thirteen years he lived with Octavia, and so had Spike, Spike was now fifteen and had grown about the same size as Bass who was 5'4 and pretty muscular from the sparring him and Spike do for fun. Spikes wings had grown in and he could now fly on his own, his tail was his trump card in the spar fights against Bass seeing as Bass was unbelievably fast compared to Spike. "So Spike, another spar before I leave?" Bass asked "Hah, you think you can win?" Spike responded "Oh I think I got you this time" They both snuck out to the evergreen woods entrance where no one dared venture. "you ready Bass?" Spike asked, crossing his arms "you bet buddy!" Bass said, putting on his sparring gloves that Octavia brought home one day, saying it was "From a friends, old friend".
The two circled each other slowly, tension building between them as the air started to spark with their leers at each other, finally, Spike charged at Bass, tripping Bass with his tail and placing his foot on his gut "Too slow Bass" he taunted "that's what you think" Bass had studied break dancing that had been done by teenage dragons and had mastered it into a fighting style recently, he wind milled and kicked Spike in the face, sending him stumbling back and giving Bass enough time to get back up "Hah, how about that?" He cocked his head to the side "Unexpected Bass, Where'd you learn that?" Spike asked, rubbing his cheek "Just a little something I studied after our last spar" Spike smiled "In that case, allow me to demonstrate my own things" Recently Spike has learned to breath fire as a weapon and not a method to transfer messages to princess Celestia. He decided to demonstrate it by breathing his flames at Bass who dropped to the ground, narrowly avoiding it "oh it's on Spike."
An hour later.
"What the fuck happened!?" Yelled Octavia at Bass and Spike who were covered in burns and broken scales "Just some…sparring." said Bass "Bass, you know what I've said about sparring, you guys always get hurt, and by the looks of it, you did" Octavia said, staring at the two "Just a little" Spike said "Ugh you two….go get cleaned up, we leave in ten minutes"
Thanks, that's the end of chapter one, from now on I will be explaining the story from Bass beats point of view unless I state otherwise, please read and review, the other chapter should be up soon.
