I don't MLP series or Spyro series.
Hello everyone it is I Bunji the wolf here, ready to bring you something new. For those who don't know who I am, I am just a fellow writer on fanfic, who mostly does Naruto fics. But I also do some other outside fanfics every now then. But here I bring you a whole new idea with two series that I am interested in and love.
Spyro the dragon I have loved since I was a kid. I loved the three original games on the PS1 lifeline. Though I'm not a brony, I blame my friends for getting me interested in the new My Little Pony:Friendship is Magic. But enough of that, on to the story.
The reason why I am doing this is because I was always curious on Spike's origin and I thought of an interesting idea how to bring it into a story and so this is that story.
The main characters of this story are Spike the dragon of course and also the main six chosen ponies Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Rarity. Each one of them will play a role and have a good part. I will do my best to make that happen.
Well that's enough chatting for now, on to the story! Oh one more thing the ponies of this story will be Anthro-(Anthropo- ( a theme meaning "human"), a prefix meaning human, humanoid, or humanlike) much like how most characters in the Spyro series are Anthro type bodies.

Chapter I-Spike The Dragon Part I
Four years have passed since the event of the Canterlot Wedding. Four long years of peace were born after Chrysalis, Queen of the Changelings, was defeated. With a long four years of peace, one can image how long it can last before new dangers awake?
New Year was just around the corner. In fact it was only twenty-four hours from now. All were delighted with the thrill of a new year. With many ponies celebrating New Years with their families and friends, but this New Year's was different for a certain dragon. His name was Spike the only dragon that lived in Ponyville.
Thus begins our story.
"Spike get up, it's afternoon. You can't spend all day in bed. It's new year's eve." The purple colored Unicorn by the name of Twilight Sparkle said.
Spike didn't say anything as he pulled the covers over his head. Twilight stared at her dragon helper for a moment to see if he woke up or not. After waiting for a moment Twilight sighed.
"Spike," she called his name.
Again he didn't answer her. Twilight glared as her horn glowed as Spike suddenly was floating in midair.
"Huh what's going on?" Spike felt himself being lifted up.
"Awake yet?" She asked him.
"Fine I'll get up. There's nothing for me to do anyway. You guys got everything all set up the other day didn't you?" Spike asked Twilight.
"We did, but we couldn't get everything done. Angel is still sick and Fluttershy took her time off to take care of him. So would you mind giving us a claw?" Twilight smiled at her favorite helper.
"Fine," the dragon sighed. "Makes me wonder how many days can a rabbit stay sick? Something tells me Angel is faking it to get more of Fluttershy's attention."
"Thank you Spike this means a lot. Pinkie Pie and Applejack will be waiting for you at Applejack's farm." Twilight explained to Spike as she was about to leave his bedroom but not before Spike spoke up.
"And where will you be?" He asked her.
"My parents' needs my help and Shining Armor will be there as well remember?" She told him.
"Oh right I forgot about that." Spike rubbed the back of his head as Twilight left his bedroom.
Spike thought back to when he first met Twilight. He always saw her as family, the way she sometimes acted motherly to him, but how she also seemed like a big sister to him. But the more Spike thought the more he thought about his relationship with every pony he knew. Were they all family to him or just ponies he knew?
During the four years of peace, Spike had mature overtime. He wasn't the baby dragon every pony once saw him as. Spike was about two inches taller than Twilight and the five other mares when standing up. He was still a young dragon, with Twilight guessing that Spike was around his teens since dragons, when it come to age, are slightly different from other species.
During the third year Spike grew a pair of wings. Though with these wings he could now fly but he needed time for his wings to fully mature enough. As of now he could only fly for a certain amount of time but gilding he was able to do with no problems at all.
Sometime later: Sweet Apple Acres
"Spike just in the nick of time." Applejack said with a happy tone.
"Twilight told me you need some help?" He asked with a curious look.
"We need your fire big guy. We got the firewood but no fire. And there are a few other things we could use your help for." She told Spike.
"Once we get the fire we can get our New Year party started!" Pinkie Pie yelled happily.
"Hold on, we still got a few hours to go before the event can start." Applejack stared at the hyperactive pink mare.
"Sorry heh heh. I just can't wait!" Pinkie Pie smiled.
Spike quickly started helping Applejack and Pinkie Pie set everything up for the party and also helping the Apple family in any way he could.
"So Spike how goes those flying lesson's Rainbow Dash has been giving ya darling?" Applejack asked the dragon. Spike grabbed a nearby tree and shook it as the apples fell into the wooden box down below.
"Kind of tough," he looked nervous or embarrassed to tell her.
"What's wrong?" She asked.
"Rainbow Dash's lesson I hate to say. But there are times I think she's trying to kill me. My wings aren't as mature as hers. I grew these about a year ago and I'm a dragon who lucked out on the wings department. I read up from Twilight's book that not all dragons can grow wings or breathe fire," he told her.
"Have you ever told Rainbow Dash her lessons aren't helpful?" Applejack asked him. Spike sighed at first before he shook his head.
"She's the only one who offers to give me free flying lessons. Well Fluttershy does to though Fluttershy is my kind of a teacher when it comes to flying. Rainbow Dash is like hard mode and I'm not ready to fly one hundred percent with these wings." Spike showed his wings to Applejack. His dragon wings were purple colored much like his scales but with small green lighting.
"Maybe you should try to take things easy darling." She told him.
"Maybe your right, the last thing I want is for my wings to fall off from overuse." He looked over his right shoulder, looking back at his wings.
"What your plans for New Years?" Applejack asked him. Spike's green eyes widened upon her question. He looked sad at first but sat down.
"I really don't know AJ." He calls Applejack by the nickname he and Twilight sometime use for her.
"What ya mean you don't know? Aren't ya gonna spend time with Twilight or with Rarity like you did last year and the one before that?" Applejack looked at him with slight worries.
"Well there's not much for me to do around here. I'm a dragon and you're a pony." He told her.
"Maybe you need a little space. You have been cooped up in Ponyville for a long time. You're right you are a dragon. The only dragon that lives in Ponyville, but Spike don't let it change you. Your still the dragon we love and you're our friend. Now go on now, you've helped us enough now we'll finish the rest just fine." Applejack smiled at Spike as the dragon smiled right back.
"Thanks Applejack. Yeah maybe you're right. Maybe I need a little more space?" Spike left to clear his troubled mind.
Later that day:
Spike was walking around Ponyville looking for an answer that would help him. However he didn't find his answer in Ponyville but there was one person he believed could help him.
"Hello any pony here?" He asked. While entering the palace of Princess Celestia, and upon entering the throne room Spike found it strange he didn't meet any of the royal guards who usually would be here.
"Spike what are you doing here?" The dragon looked back to see the royal alicorn Princess Celestia in all of her glory.
"Where are the guards?" He asked.
"I've decided to give them a little day off for them to be with their families. Now what brings you here?" Celestia asked wondering why Spike came here.
"I have a lot on my mind and I need someone to talk too." He said with a frown.
"Twilight and the others unable to help you?" She asked.
"Everyone is getting ready for New Years. I feel like I don't belong here. There's something odd…no something wrong. I feel cooped up, it's hard to explain but it's the only way I can explain it. It's like teaching a fish how to fly." He told the Princess. Celestia only smiled at the young dragon as she'd nod her head in understanding of what he means.
"You have been with us for a very long time. Learning our way of life but never truly understanding how you should live yours." She said.
"You sure know how to read me huh? Mom…um I mean Princess Celestia." Spike rubbed the back of his head.
"Spike, it's ok. You haven't called me that in years. You're growing up into a fine dragon." She smiled at him.
"You don't find it strange you raised and taught a baby dragon magic?" Celestia shook her head.
"No of course not, but I do believe it is time for you to learn the truth. The truth about your origin Spike," she said. Spike looked confused.
"What do you mean 'time for me to learn the truth'?" He asked her.
"It happened eight years ago. There was a powerful source of energy I sensed forming in the Everfree forest. What I found was something I never thought I could find in such a place." Spike quickly became curious on what she found.
"What did you find?" Even though he knew what the answer was, he was still curious on what she found.
"You or rather the egg you were in. An old shrine or what appeared to be a gateway. I wasn't fully sure of what it was or how old it was. I saw your egg thrown from the portal. I didn't know how it was possible a portal could appear in such a place. But when something else tried to crossover, I used my magic to seal the portal and destroy the gateway." She told him.
"I'm from another world?" He asked with a curious look.
"It is possible. The Everfree forest is a strange place filled with magic that even to this day I am unaware of. I believe the answers you seek lies within Everfree forest." Celestia noticed Spike still looked troubled.
"But how can I find my answer there? You destroyed the gateway and sealed the portal as well." Spike said with a frown.
"Worry not. I believe now, if any threat should ever rise against you, Twilight and the others will take care of it. I have faith in you and every pony Spike. Though you are not a pony, you are important to me just as the others are." She said as Spike looked at his mother figure with a small smile.
"How can I undo what you did?" He asked her.
"Wait one moment." Celestia left her throne room leaving Spike alone for a moment.
"If this gateway can show me to a place filled with dragons. I wonder if I'll find my family there, or if I have one there." He wondered to himself.
"But what will the others think?" Worry about what the girls would think about him leaving this world for another filled him. Spike shook his head, shaking doubt of what they would think from his mind.
"I have to do this. I'm a dragon and I gotta do what dragons do. I might better learn about what I am." Spike said to himself.
"I have returned." Celestia spoke. Celestia was holding a small golden colored box. Spike wondered what was within the box. When Celestia opened the box his eyes widened in surprise at what he saw.
"Are those?" He pointed at what was within the box.
"You're egg shells? Yes." She said. Within the golden box were Spike's egg shells or what was left of them. However there were eight pieces of the egg shells. Spike noticed how Celestia had made the eight pieces into eight necklaces.
"But why are there eight?" He pointed.
"Each piece of your egg shell contains a piece of the magic from the world you originate from. The world you were born from had very strong magic. I thought I could use your egg shells magic for good." She explains.
"Does this explain why my fire is green rather than red like the other dragons in this world?" He asked her.
"I don't know, every dragon can breathe different type of colored fire. I believe you will find your answer in the world you came from. This is a choice only you can make Spike. If you decide to stay here you are more than welcome. But if you do decide to discover your origin, choose the path you believe is the one for you." Celestia told Spike.
Spike quickly made his choice; he decided to find out where he came from. Spike grabbed one of the eight egg shells necklaces and placed it around his neck.
"Here's a map. Go to this location on the map. Wait until nightfall as it seems the egg shells magic are strongest at night." Spike took the map and nodded.
"Um…mom," Celestia looked at Spike wondering what he wanted her answer to next.
"Yes Spike?" She asked.
"Don't tell Twilight and the others okay? I know they will be worry about me but I want to do this on my own. I got to find out where I came from and who knows I just might find my answer." Spike said.
"That's if they don't catch you." She chuckled.
With that said and done Spike left the throne room. Spike headed off to Everfree forest and decided to wait until nightfall.
Everfree forest:
Spike used the map to guide himself through the forest without getting lost. After what seemed like forever Spike finally found his way to the location of the gateway.
Spike entered a large area; there were large pieces of stone everywhere. Spike looked around the place and saw what appears to be a gateway but however the gateway was smashed by a great force. Spike looked upward and saw how open the view he had of the sky. Spike could see the sun setting as the moon was rising.
"Spike what are you doing here?" A familiar voice made Spike jumped. Spike looked over his right shoulder to see his unicorn crush Rarity. Spike felt nervous all of a sudden; his plan backfiring so quickly.
"Rarity what are you doing here?" Spike wondered how she got here. Did she follow him? 'Did the other know and followed as well?' He wondered.
"I saw you leaving Ponyville and I wondered where you were going." She said to Spike. Spike frowned at first but smiled anyway at his crush.
"Rarity you should head back to Ponyville. You know Everfree is a dangerous place especially coming here alone." He told her.
"True, but seeing you coming here alone I had to come. What are you doing here? New Years is just few hours away." She told him.
"I'm going away for awhile I'm taking a big trip." He told her.
"Going away? If it's a big trip why don't you have a suitcase? Where are you going, is it cold where you going?" She asked him being worried about his safety the most.
"Rarity," he said her name with a warm smile. But before Spike could have a chance to explain to her, the moon rose up high, shining brightly tonight. The egg shell necklace around Spike's neck suddenly glowed bright purple.
A loud rumbling noise shook the ground as both Spike and Rarity looked to see the ruin gateway now fixing itself before their very eyes. The stone gateway was restored and in the center of it a green colored portalopened.
"My ride is here." He said, turning his attention to the portal.
"Spike, don't go. I don't like this. Maybe we should get Twilight." Rarity said feeling an ill feeling coming from the portal.
"Rarity would ya like to come with me?" He offers his right claw to her.
"To where?" She asked him.
"Would you like see where I came from?" He asks her with a caring smile.
"Spike I don't know what's going on. Why do you have to leave?" She asked him.
Spike frowned and turned away from her.
"I always wanted to know where I come from. I'm different from the other dragons. I know it, I feel it. Four years of peace is a long time. I'm not like every pony I'm a dragon. I feel cooped up, I feel like I can do so much more than being Twilight's and every ponies helper." Spike paused for a moment which made Rarity worry about what was going through his mind. But Spike continued.
"Then I found out I wasn't born here. Princess Celestia told me she found my egg here and this portal is the doorway to my home my real home. I know you and the others cherish and love me as one of your own. But I have to see what things are like on the other side. What being a dragon is really like?" He told his crush.
"As much as I would like to say you've become very selfish wanting to do this alone." Rarity paused for just a second. "You are right Spike, for the past four years there has been no danger and less trouble has come into our lives. But I believe you shouldn't do this alone Spike."
"You're coming with me?" He asked her.
"Yes, it would be very selfish of me not to accompany my Spikey-wikey." Rarity winked at Spike which caused the young dragon to blush while Rarity giggled.
As the two stepped through the portal and entering the realm of Spike's original birthplace. In a realm that's called Artisans.
