Recap:

"This is the Land of Nowhere" Spike spoke, the Land of Nowhere was out of all Jurisdiction from ponies and other creatures except dragons but dragons had a new place, hench the name Dragon Lands.

Spike saw something covered in dust he keeled infront of it and wept the dust off and a plaque called Dragontopia

"I'm home" Spike said.

"Indeed my son" ancient deep voice came from behind causing Spike to snap around in a combat stance with his claws drawn but his eyes widened at who he saw apparition of.

"Father" Spike gasped.


Spike turned and saw an apparition of Bahamut

"father?" Spike said again Bahamut just node his head"I thought you were dead?" he spoke in shock.

"I am sadly I just asked the Big Boss to see if I can see you for once" Bahamut answered "But he said only once so I saved it for this" he said.

"Your everything I hoped you'd be" Bahamut told him.

"I thought I was suppose to be King but I choose a different path" Spike told his father.

"Thats what I wanted, I wanted you to be the king but didn't think what you wanted, I decided your path for you that wasn't fair" Bahamut told him "I prayed when you gained your power's back you'd choose something else You've become a hero and I'm very proud of the choice" he said.

Bahamut looked at Spike for a minute "What?" Spike spoke.

"I'm just remembering when I first met your mom, I was lost how beautiful she was when I see you, you remind me of her by your eyes" Bahamut spoke.

"I think if she was in your position she would think the same" Spike smirked.

"It's true you posses many things we did our colors and the best of both of us and none of our egos or flaws" Bahamut told him.

"Like trusting Celestia?" Spike asked with a small glare because even to this day Spike still hadn't forgave Celestia of what she did, the unforgiving crime of murdering his family.

"one of the reasons but we never should've let them in here so they didn't find us" Bahamut admitted.

"Still it is no excuse" Spike growled suddenly angry all of a sudden and he didn't get angry easily, then his body started to steam and his eyes slitted dangerously as they glowed brightly.

"Your right there isn't" Bahamut answered snapping Spike out of it and the steam and eyes went back to normal, then his form flickered for a second "I can only be here for 30 minutes so please listen" he said.

"what is it?" Spike asked.

"you have more power than you realize" Bahamut told him.

"Yes I know you said in a memory You said I exceeded your strength" Spike replied.

"Yes but way more than you know" Bahamut said "Do you remember from your teachings?" he asked.

"Well I do know a creature's true strength can be brought out if they are in their domains like Discord draws strength from his realm and how the main 6 look inside the Elements of Harmony and draw full strength from them and Celestia and Luna draw their strength from the sun and the moon" Spike explained.

"Keep going" Bahamut gestured with a claw.

"But in order to get full strength they have to actually be in it" Spike told him "What a minute are you saying the things I've done wasn't even half" he said.

"Correct Dracone or do you want to be called Spike?" Bahamut replied.

"You did name me Dracone so you can use my real name" Spike told him.

"Anyway you may not know your own strength my son, but I do I could see it in your eyes when you were a hatchling" Bahamut explained "Focus to the area around you draw strength from your domain, you will find you have the power even above a Major Gods" he said.

Spike relaxed closed his eyes and focused the area that was his home, then his eyes glowed eerily not like the glowing bright fiery green but Godlike glow then the outline of his body glowed like his eyes, then Spike felt a titanic amount of energy emerge from deep inside his whole body tingled the tingling stopped as the glowing vanished, he found the energy surging through Spike allowed him to hover without flapping his wings or levitation or kelekinesis the air crackled around him the power could be felt radiating around him.

"That was tingly" Spike spoke his voice gave off a otherworldly and resonating echo, he then lowered his power back down the glowing appeared again and faded and he floated back to the ground.

Bahamut just watched in awe "remarkable it should take minutes to obtain that kind of power but you did it in seconds" he said.

Spike just stood there with shock at what happened, he remembered Spike was told he was very powerful but he failed to realize the kind of strength and power he was using wasn't even half and now he just reached his full strength which shouldn't even be possible for one to reach a Minor Gods but he had just risen ed above a Major Gods.

Then he crouched on one knee and placed a clawedhand on the ground.

"Yes reach deep as you can, bring up what you sensed within the ground" Bahamut told him, Spike focused he felt it was big, really really big something was down there deep within.

He tapped into half of his strength and grimaced as he reached with his Telekinesis and the area where he trembled and started to crack then rose to his feet still holding out a clawed hand which was twitching strongly as the ground started to split and a black object appeared, Spike then rose above the ground as the thing sprouted the area shock and cracked more as the thing got higher then Spike stopped as he pulled it out.

ten inches below the dragon was a colossal castle made of thick shiny obsidian and gold lining the sides edges and rims on the towers that glimmered in the sun and solid oak double door big enough for a 9 foot dragon could walk through, it's width matched the height.

"our castle" Spike spoke in amazement as he powered back down.

"Your real house" Bahamut smiled.

"You don't mind if I make changes do you?" Spike wondered.

"Like I said it's yours" Bahamut answered then he started fading "I must go our time is up, you should probably do something about your new issue" he said.

"What issue?" Spike asked.

"The Beast Within" Bahamut answered "Good bye, Spike" he said as he vanished. Spike then walked to the doors of the castle and with a push, he opened them opened them and he entered the castle had light in it and it had plenty of space.


Spike flew back to Equestria invisibly back to his old home and he used his shrinking power and shrunk his Equipment and treasure into mouse size objects he got a sack placed his things in it and flew out turning the bag and himself invisible.

hours later he arrived back home he moved quickly and set up a room in one of the towers, the he went across a walkway to a wall and using his strength he tore off chunks of obsidian out and made a room like the one he had in his old home, it was activated by a claw scanner, later he had torn off hunks of Obsidian with his raw strength the smoothed the edges.

Spike touched the claw scanner and a panel of obsidian opened up, then glass cases appeared from the walls and floor, then he went into another room deep in the castle and burrowed through the hard stone at an angle it made a slope where Spike used the broken obsidian which he refined into a makeshift stairs and sealing them into place, then dug a room wide enough for a large pond and 6 feet deep and placed the small piles of treasure and deactivated his shrinking ability and the piles returned to normal size reaching the ceiling with mountains of gold silver and gems plus many other crystals.

He then set up his equipment in another room he put his Dragon ear device through the roof and placed the camera onto tower and hooked up the blinkers, monitors and scanners into the room also.

Spike stood outside looking at his work the castle looked just like he first saw it only difference is there was his old devices sprouted three inches from the roof and 360 camera on a tower but didn't look too different.

"And it's all mine" Spike smirked but stilled wondered what his father meant by "The Beast Within".
