In another dimension the Spirit of the Dragon King Trajan passed through from Equestria to the modern world, it nighttime and the cool air was out, he was searching for the position of the distress he felt

in his mind he heard something

"Please what ever god is out there or above or listening please spare Thorax" was a faint and pained pray then was quiet all of a sudden, looking to the direction he traveled till he saw a wrecked dark green Charger with black stripes on the hood to the truck, it was riddled with bullets, then Spirit glared at the gang members who pulled away with assault rifle laughing, he looked and saw a teen of 16 years on the street 40 feet away the teen had neat green hair and light purple skin had a athletic build, his arms were chiseled and toned and firm but slim, his stomach and chest was firm and crafted and legs were very toned and strong and he was tall at 6 ft in height and 175 pounds of pure muscle and emerald eyes.

He was broken and limp at all angles he had been thrown from the windshield and was bleeding from numerous lacerations on his face and body, the dragon spirit went to the teen and made a arm tangible and checked his pulse but didn't hear anything, Spike was dead then he heard pained whimpering he looked to the car and saw another teen his age with gray skin and blue eyes and black hair some in spikes.

Trajan then felt something about the boy infront of him something pure and special, he then entered the boys body and saw what he felt.

This boy was always helping his friends and he hated crime and those who want to spill innocent blood, he was always standing up to bullies protecting two other boys named Discord and Thorax and he was always giving everything not asking for anything in return, he then saw why the other boy was still alive he unhooked his seatbelt and shielded his friend from three bullets shot at them and got thrown through the Windshield.

Even from what he heard he was praying for his friend to be spared "hmm Spike Draco Strong, selfless, brave and true and pure of heart" he spoke inside of the boys mind and then stepped out.

"A perfect vessel that shall keep my power safe and my heir to my thrown" he smiled proudly, then he glowed and went inside of him again but this time resurrecting him.

Spike was in a white floating space

"Awaken young one" a ancient and wise voice spoke, Spike turned and saw a creature from myth a dragon with gold plated scales and gold eyes, Spike should've been frightened but something about the creature eased his worries this creature wasn't vicious but wise and gentle, well from how he spoke but the dragon looked quite scary to, he was really colossal but then they dragon had gold fire swirling around him and he shrunk down to his size but still a dragon.

"So I'm less intimidating" the Dragon smirked "but it seems your very threatened by me" he said with a raised scaly brow.

"At first I was but then I felt comfortable, I always had this one ability to sense when things are good and friendly and when their bad and corrupt" Spike told him.

The Dragon smirked

"oh where's my manners names Spike, Spike Draco" Spike greeted himself and held out a hand.

"Uh" The Dragon king was surprise many vessels before this one would just listen not saying their name and say yes but this one did and he did state if he was worthy shall possess the power of the Dragon King and it seems this boy was more than a vessel he was the chosen one, the one the previous dragon kings would talk about when he was growing up, a boy would be chosen to bring the end of the darkness and the descendants that lurk in it.

"My name is Trajan" Trajan spoke and shook Spike's hand with his claw.

"Well Trajan what do I owe the pleasure?" Spike asked.

"I'm here to help" Trajan said.

"Help with what?" Spike said then he thought of the last thing he remembered he heard gun fire and squeal of tires screaming and crashing and then nothing "Is Thorax?" he said looking frantic.

"Relax he's safe thanks to you" Trajan spoke

Spike exhaled with relief "Well thats good" he said then it hit him "I'm dead am I" he spoke.

"I'm afraid so" Trajan said sadly "But sadly I have a way for you to live once more" he told him.

"Whats that?" Spike asked.

"I'm just a spirit and my powers are limited and it's my purpose to look for potential vessel to be the Dragon King and keep my power safe" Trajan told him.

Spike thought of why this creature was talking to him and his widened with shock and surprise "me your vessel?" he gaped.

"Not just my vessel, my one true vessel" Trajan spoke "Your about to embark on a great journey and even better destiny" he smirked .

"I'm not sure I'm the best choice, give it to someone who deserves it more than I do" Spike said.

"Thats why I have chosen you any person who turns down power is all the more reason is why they are chosen" Trajan explained "I have readed your mind and know all about you, even the part where your parents died when you were seven and you, Thorax and Discord seeing how you saw something similar lack of parents you boys have leaned on each other watching over the other" he said.

"Okay where are you from exactly?, I know for a fact no creature no offense can read minds" Spike asked.

"I'm from a world called Equeastria an alternate dimension filled with magical creatures, I'm from from that world I was attacked and my time to find a Vessel was upon me and departed from that realm and crossed here when I sensed your attack, I if I had more power I would have stopped that crime against you" he said.

"It's not your fault it's mine for us being out there that late, everyone knows alot of crime happens after 11:00 but I turned my back on that advice and we both paid for" Spike assured.

"Yeah I saw that to which I offer not only revenge but also a chance of redemption" Trajan spoke "You wish to punish who spill innocent blood?" he said.

Trajan's words sparked a part of him a part of him that hated innocent blood spilled and it came back stronger and more intense, he glared at the wrongs done to him and his friend.

"And if that still doesn't spark anything maybe this will" Trajan said then with his claws glowing he lightly put them to Spike's head and pulled back and projected a image that showed an image of his parents.

"You are destined for greatness" the father smiled sadly.

"Be brave Spiky and be safe be strong" The mother kissed his forehead, the scene faded away.

"Your parents must have seen something special and so did I, I could feel it thats why I have chosen you there is no one better, over the eons of my rule I made vessels I never thought to say, if he be worthy and it seems like your worthy to handle not only my heir but also the protector of Equestria and your world" Trajan told him

"Thats a high road" Spike exhaled.

"That it is and a huge responsibility but awarding path to" Trajan told him, then Spike was thinking hard

"Be there for your friends and punish the ones that brought you harm" he said.

"Yes" Spike said.

"What was that?" Trajan smirked.

"I Spike Draco will be the new Vessel of the Dragon King" Spike stated firmly.

Trajan smiled proudly and shook his hand as he glowed and he was transferred into the boy.

Out in the world

Spike laid there dead but then his eyes shot opened still emerald but burning and blazing brightly with fire and pupils were slitted, then his body started to catch on fire but a green fire his skin melted away to reveal armor like and rough purple scales and light green plated underbelly which was like his other scales and jagged curved spines from his head to tail, horns sprouted from the side of his head and his neck stretched like a dragons and one of his fingers went into his hand and one of his five toes turned into four talons and fingers turned it claws his teeth into 2 inch size daggers and he let out a roar of success and a slender and strong tail with a sharp arrow like spade, he was twice as tall before he was 6 foot and 6 inches tall.

Spike had transformed into a creature of legends or myths, A Dragon

"The Dragon King lives again" Spike spoke in a otherworldly voice.

"Yes he does" Trajan spoke in his mind "You only have part of your full power awake and size, but it time it will awaken fully" he told him.

"Thats great" Spike replied

when Trajan made him his vessel the Dragon king transmitted his memories of how to use his power so with that he concentrated and shifted back to human and free of injuries.

"Thorax!" Spike remembered he went back to the car, he ripped the door off like it was paper, he looked at it before he tossed it away, luckily Thorax was out.

"and we may need pratice to control your power" Trajan replied.

"We will do that after the hospital" Spike replied, then he saw a stranger "Hey help there in injured guy here" he called waving his hands, the stranger nodded and called an ambulance.

"Hang in there buddy" Spike frowned.
