I know this is labeled as a normal fanfic; but they do not have a way to make a mega-crossover. So this is a normal fanfic, but it is also a mega-crossover. Disclaimer: I own nothing from MLP:FIM or any characters mentioned from other games or movies. I just like them.

(Location:Center of the new hive. Time:some time in the middle of the night. Status:New hive base in critical condition. Armor User, Spike escaped. Wesker currently engaging in combat. Mandatory evacuation in progress.)

"Why do you continue to fight, Spike?" A blonde haired male asked; his outfit was a black as night trench coat. Over a black as night shirt, pants, and boots. On his face was a pair of black sunglasses and in his left hand was a deadly pistol. He can be seen slowly walking towards a small dragon; who was trying his best to get back on his feet. "You know I am stronger than you." He said before kicking the drake hard. Sending him flying threw the air and into an opposite wall, "I'm faster." The male suddenly sprinted towards the wall; catching the drake before he hit the ground, holding him up in the air by his throat. "And I am smarter than you." He continued before slamming him back down onto the ground.

The drake gasped loudly as he felt the wind leave his lungs. The dragon had purple scales, green spikes on his back and head, and a strange gauntlet on his right arm. "Why do you fight?" He heard the man ask.

"I...Fight." The dragon replied as he slowly got to his feet, "Because I know...Who I'm protecting." He continued before he took an offensive stance. Which just made the blonde man smirk; while he released a small chuckle.

"You can't beat me." The male said as he started to slowly walk towards the dragon, "I am the strongest of all your armors." He continued.

"THE WATCHDOG!" The dragon shouted causing his body to become engulfed in a very bright light. After a few short seconds the light faded; revealing another man standing where the drake once stood. This one was a man who as wore a dark trench coat; which covered the majority of his body. Making it difficult for anyone to see underneath it. Even though it was difficult to see underneath the suit; a set of black pants and matching black shoes can be seen. The man then drew a rather large gun; which was known as a U-100.

"Take this!" The man shouted before firing a small burst from the gun; only to have the blonde man suddenly disappear from out in front of him, but before he could react. He was suddenly sucker punched by the man. Which ended up with him being slammed up against the wall. Followed by him being engulfed by a bright light for a few seconds. Which transformed him back into the small drake.

"Damn it!" The dragon growled out.

"Just give up." The man said in an uncaring tone; which earned him another growl.

"TWINKLE! TWINKLE! LITTLE STAR!" The dragon shouted transforming himself into another creature. Only this one was covered with armor from head to toe. The thing then aimed a strange looking gun at the man. But just like before he was defeated and was once again the drake again.

"You cannot." The male said.

"THE!" The dragon shouted.

"Defeat." The male continued.

"DEADPOOL!" The dragon continued transforming himself in a ninja; who wore a red and black suit, and who had multiple weapons all over his body.

"A god!" The man shouted before he started to fight once again.

When the ninja was defeated the dragon transformed once again. This time it was into a monster; it had green skin, massive muscles, and thankfully it wore slightly torn purple shorts. It seemed to be anger incarnate. But it was not even strong enough to beat the man. When the monster failed he transformed himself into another ninja. Only this one wore solid blue armor and robe; while both his arms seemed to be frozen solid. The blue ninja was not as easy to defeat; except it was still not strong enough to defeat him. The drake then transformed into a third ninja; it wore yellow armor with black robes, his eyes were white and lifeless, but even though it was the master of fire. It was still not enough to defeat the man. The dragon can be shown panting heavily; he was barely able to stand on his feet. The male on the other hand; did not show any signs of fatigue. Almost as if he was nothing but power itself.

"Like I said." The man said as he slowly walked up to the dragon. Watching him as he tried to stand up on his feet; only to suddenly grab the gauntlet on his arm, making him yell in pain. Almost as if it was part of his body. "You. Cannot. Beat a. god." The man growled out before completely crushing the gauntlet in his hand. Causing the dragon to scream out in pain; before he threw him to the floor once again.

"No!" The drake growled out in disbelief as he looked in front of him. The gauntlet. His gauntlet layed there in pieces; which almost made him break down in tears. Because for him not only did he loose his armors'. But he also felt like he lost a piece of himself.

"You are truly pathetic." The man said as he walked towards the drake; carelessly kicking away the small pieces of the destroyed weapon. While the drake looked up at him with eyes of hatred. "You should have just joined up with me." He continued before grabbing the dragon by the throat; making him release a gasp of air. "I could have given you so much power." A huge black aura suddenly started to seep out of his body, "I could have made you feel like a god." His eyes then started glowing hellish red, "But now." He then levitated the young dragon up into the air; just before his hand started glowing in a very bright light, "It's time for you to die." He said coldly before he punched the dragon hard; causing the entire area around them to be engulfed in very bright light. The dragon is then shown on the floor once again; a small amount of steam coming from his body as he struggled to get to his feet.

"Why don't you accept the inevitable?" Wesker asked as he used his power to lift the dragon off the ground. "You are nothing but a toothless worm." He then used his power to constrict the drakes throat; making it harder for him to breath, "Die!" He shouted before throwing him high into the air; before slamming him into the ground. Only to immediately pick him up and slam him into the wall once again; causing a sickening crack to come from the dragons body. Before he slammed him to the ground and stomped on his small body.

All the dragon could do was just lie there on the floor. The pain was shooting threw his body; almost as if a sword was stabbed threw his body. Every time he took in a breath of air it would hurt; which meant he possibly had a collapsed lung, and probably a cracked rib. The edge just around his eyes were starting to fade to darkness. Was this death? He could feel a cold feeling move threw his body; while memories started to flash threw his mind. He saw the memories he had when he was a hatchling; he remembered how Celestia treated him like her baby. He remembered when Twilight helped him walk for the first time. He was seeing his entire life flash before his eyes; some parts made him smile happily, while other made him shed a few tears of sadness.

"I will miss you all." The dragon said in a voice just above a whisper. His vision then started to fade into nothing but darkness; only to be shortly followed by nothing but a pure color of solid white. "So warm." He continued before finally falling unconscious.

(Three years earlier.)

"This cannot be healthy for you, Twilight." The purple dragon said as he carried a purple unicorn up the stairs, "I mean this is the fifth time this week." He continued before reaching the top of the stairs; only to walk towards a slightly opened door. Allowing him to enter a large bed room; where he gently placed the mare on the bed, "You need to learn when to stop and take a break." The drake continued before placed a rather large blanket over the mare; which caused him to smile happily.

"Thanks, Spike." The mare known as Twilight whispered; while her body slowly succumbed to the comfort of sleep, "What would I do without you." She continued before finally loosing herself to a deep, comforting sleep.

The dragon known as Spike released a small chuckle; slowly and quietly he exited the room, rapidly making his way back down stairs. Where a rather large mess of books and papers waited for him. Releasing a heavy sigh; he started to clean up the mess, organizing the paper in two neat mid-sized stacks. While placing the books back in the proper places on the shelf. Although he loved Twilight, he could not stand her messes. Sometimes he would wish that she would clean her own messes; after all it was not fun for him to be stuck in a library all day. Especially since it was such a beautiful day outside. The sun shinning bright the small village bellow. The birds flying gracefully threw the air; as they sang their beautiful song. The book about to smash into Spikes face.

"Wait! What!" Spike shouted before said book collided with his face; taking him down to the ground with a loud thud, "Ugh...why did you type that?" He asked.

"Because it's part of the story. Now stop breaking the fourth wall."

"Why should I listen to you? I'm nothing but a fictional character." Spike replied as if he was talking to the air.

"You may be fictional. But the anvil is real."

"What an." A loud metallic thud is then heard; followed by the groaning sound of Spike.

"Now you know my power. So stop breaking the fourth wall and get back to the story."

Spike released a loud groan as he slowly got up from the floor. He looked around the library and saw the book that had hit him. He released a small growl before he picked the book up; only to have it suddenly burst in a large amount of flame. He released a surprised yell as the book suddenly transformed; it was no longer a simple book, but yet a aged piece of paper. "What the?" He asked himself as he examined the paper; seeing that it was actually an old map. Which had the image of Celestias and Lunas old castle. Except there was a huge X directly underneath it; along with a strange set of words.

"What is this?" Spike asked as he turned the map over; only to see the words, "TO SPIKE." On the back of it. His eyes went wide with realization; this was no ordinary map. It was a map that was meant for him. Immediately he turned the map back over and started to read the words on the front, "Got to the place; which once had much grace. Now deserted and shunned by its disgrace. Head down into into ground and listen to the sound. There you will find a vault; which will not bring you to a halt. There you will find your true destiny. Which will be unlocked by this key." He read which caused a look of confusion to appear on his face.

"What key? What destiny? What's going on? Who left this here? Why did they leave it for? Why."

"Enough with why. Changing the scene as soon as I'm typing this."

It took Spike a little over an hour to reach the castle; even though it looked as if it was going to eventually fall. It still stood even though it was destroyed centuries ago. He immediately looked at the map and studied the wording on it. "Head to the place; which once had much grace?" He said to himself as he started to try and translate the wording. "Okay. The place is the castle; that's gotta be a given. But I bet its referring to something else; like a room in the castle or something." He continued as he walked around the castle. Following its many winding passages and dead end hallways; which eventually brought him to the throne room.

"Place which had much grace?" Spike growled out before kicking up a small amount of dirt. Growing slightly irritated; before sitting himself down on a downed pillar. Allowing him to take in a much need deep breath; just before he started to look around the throne room. Looking at the destroyed tapestry and the destroyed statues. "Can't believe Lun...Nightmare moon destroyed this placed." He sighed as he tried to image what it looked like back then. Only to have his eyes widen in sudden realization.

"Place which had much grace. This throne room used to have much grace; just before Luna disgraced it by becoming jealous, and turning into Nightmare moon. This is the place!" Spike shouted in excitement as he took out the map, "Head down into the ground and listen to the sound." He read as he looked around the room.

"Okay. Head down into the ground. So that means there has gotta be a trap door somewhere?" Spike said as he looked around the room; searching for a switch or at the least a concealed doorway. In a matter of minutes he found a hidden passage way; which was covered by a large piece of torn tapestry. Looking down he saw that there was no stair way; telling him that he had to possibly jump down. Taking in a deep breath; he jumped down and resisted the urge to scream as the tickling sensation moved threw his body. In a matter of seconds which felt like hours; his body made contact with a large amount of blue garbage bags. Which were thankfully filled with hay; which cushioned his fall, "Okay. Listen to the sound." He said before he closed his eyes; allowing him to concentrate on listening.

He then heard a low humming sound echoing inside the room. Immediately he released a breath of fire; allowing him to illuminate a darkened hallway. Which he started to slowly walk down. Causing the low humming sound to grow louder and louder. In minutes he found himself right in front of a round massive vault door; which had the image of an eagle inside of it, "There you will find a vault. Which will not bring you to a halt." Spike said just before the vault opened wide; revealing a small path way, which lead to a small strand of light.

"There you will find your true destiny." He said as he walked towards the light; having a piece of a bridge light up below him, with every step he took. "Which will be unlocked." He continued as he came to a stop in front of the light, "By this key?" He asked himself. There right in front of him was a gauntlet; it looked almost as if it was made to fit a dragons arm. It was chrome colored and the words. "Gauntlet of armors." below it.

"This is the key?" He asked as he reached for it with his right claw; only to have it suddenly grab hold of his entire right arm. Which caused him to release a loud yell as he tried to get the thing off. Failing miserably as it clamped onto his arm, "DNA match. Name: Spike." He heard the thing say.

"Get off me!" Spike growled out before breathing a breath of fire onto the gauntlet; only to see that it had little to no effect, "Dang it!" He roared before slamming his armored fist into the ground, "Teleportation activated." He heard the device say before he was engulfed in a bright blue light.

(Location:Somewhere near the edge of the Everfree forest. Time: almost afternoon.)

Spike released a loud groan as he got up off the ground; growling loudly as he looked at the gauntlet, "Okay, You! Whatever you are; no more of that! Got it!" He shouted just before a loud scream echoed threw the air. "What the?!" He shouted as he rapidly looked around; trying to locate where the scream had come from.

"Civilian detected. Teleporting to location." The gauntlet said before it teleported them to another part of the forest. Immediately Spike looked around and saw a horrifying sight. A rather large timberwolf had a small filly cornered against a rather large rock. Except it was no ordinary filly; no it was a cream colored filly, who had a red mane and a red bow. It was Applebloom, Applejacks little sister. "Oh no." He said as he heard the thing snarl loudly.

"Okay. Um...gauntlet do something!" He shouted while he pointed the gauntlet towards the wolf; which opened its jaws a little ways, as it started to slowly close the distance between itself and Applebloom.

"Pass-code required." The gauntlet replied.

"Do something!" Spike shouted as panic started to enter his mind.

"Pass-code required." It repeated.

"Fire! Shoot! Electrify! Drown! Something!" He growled just as an unknown voice whispered into his ear.

"Pass-code required."

"SPECTER OF VENGANCE!" Spike shouted causing a loud beeping sound to come from the device.

"Pass-code accepted. Activating armor. Name: 19-3-15-18-16-9-15-14. code-name:Scorpion." The gauntlet said before Spikes body was engulfed by a bright light.

"Applejack. Big Mac. Granny Smith." Applebloom choked out as she closed her eyes; waiting for the wolf to take her life, "I'll miss you all." She continued before she hear the wolf release a loud yelp of pain.

"GET OVER HERE!" A loud male voice shouted; which caused her to open her eye. Allowing her to see the timberwolf being pulled back violently; just before it was thrown hard against a tree. Making it release another loud yelp of pain. Applebloom could not believe what she was seeing. There standing almost like a diamond dog; was a strange creature. It wore a sickening green armor all over its body; with two strange looking weapons on its back. It looked almost exactly like a ninja that she saw in one of Spikes comic books. But this was not a comic book. This was real.

"Who? Who are you?" Applebloom asked causing the creature to turn around; only allowing her to see it white soulless eyes, while its face was covered by a green metallic mouth guard.

"A friend." The creature replied in a disembodied voice while the timberwolf growled loudly. "Run!" The creature shouted; as he took a battle stance, ready to fight the timberwolf. Applebloom did not need to be told twice; immediately she took off running towards home, leaving the wolf and the creature behind.

"Have you heard of a wild fire?" Spike asked the creature as it started to run towards him. Its fangs dripping with saliva; ready to tear at his flesh, "No." He said before he brought his left arm up to his mask; quickly removing it, allowing the wolf to see nothing but the burning head of a skeleton. "DIE!" Spike shouted before he released a breath of fire onto the wolf. Causing it to yelp loudly in pain as the fire burned it alive; in a matter of minutes the wolf was dead. Spike then held up his hand and gave a loud yell of victory. "Scorpion wins. Fatality." He said just before the light engulfed him once again; transforming him back into his former self.

"What the?" Spike asked himself as he looked back towards the gantlet. Smiling happily as he started to walk back towards Ponyville, "As Rainbow dash would put it. This just got twenty percent cooler."
