Here is the next chapter in the Dragon Guardian. This chapter will start the first major arc and Spike will be in his first major battle against a strong man. I have picked four ponies to be the villains.
Chapter 11: Spike's Birthday.
It was a bright, sunny day in the city as every one were going on with their daily lives and seamed to be happy. As students walked with their friends to school their ways. A purple haired young girl named Twilight was walking to school just like every one else, but this time was different for she was not with her long time friend Spike was not with her. As she turned into the school's main gate and began to walk towards the front door, she was suddenly surprised by Rarity.
"Hey, Twilight. Who are you to day darling." she asked with a smile as she looked at Twilight, who looked troubled from her face.
"Huh, oh I'm fine." Twilight said as she suddenly notice Rarity behind her.
"Darling, are you alright? You seam troubled." Rarity asked as she wondered what was troubling Twilight, for she had a great time at the spa last weekend and had even said she would not worry over nothing.
"Oh, it's really nothing really. but." Twilight paused as she thought if she should say it out loud or not, but after a few moments, she let out a long sigh as she said, "It's just Spike birthday and I haven't gotten him a gift yet."
"WHAT?" Pinkie Pie yelled as she popped out of no where and looked at the duo for a few moments before continuing, "Your not planning a party for him?"
"Umm, well. Spike's never had many friends. So, we just had a small party at home." Twilight said in a nerves tone as she looked at her hyper friend.
"Oh, no. That will not do." Pinkie said as she shock her head as she walked a few steps forward and then turned towards them with a smile, "I'll throw him a huge party with us there."
"Oh, that would be great. How about at Twilight's house." Rarity said in excitement as Twilight looked at the duo with a weird feeling in her stomach, but she smiled at them when they looked at her.
"Sure, he's training with Dash until seven anyway. We'll have a lot of time to plan it." Twilight with a smile on her face as the duo smiled at her.
"I'll tell Fluttershy, she'll help us." Pinkie Pie said with excitement.
"And Applejack could help keep Spike busy." Rarity said as the duo began to walk away as they planned for Spike's party, leaving a confused Twilight as she slumped her should and let out a long sigh as she was confused on how she felt.
"Great, more the merrier." Twilight said with a fake smile as she continued towards the school.
Meanwhile in the basement of the school, Spike, Dash, and Applejack were standing in the bowler room watching Spike to continue his magic training. As Spike focused his fire magic into his palm, Applejack could not help but be impressed by the size of Spike's fire ball.
"Oh, boy. Your getting really good at that." Applejack said as she watched Spike concentrate on focusing his magic in his hand.
"Oh, yeah. It's only been a week and he's almost mastered a few more spells." Dash said in a very proud tone.
"Yeah, can I see one?" Applejack asked as she wondered what he had learned.
"There not ready yet, but he's trying a new one after school if you want to see." Dash said as the school bell rang out loud, making the trio look up as Spike lowered his hand to allow his fire to vanish as the trio headed off to the first classes.
The first two period went by uneventfully as the seven teens went about their normal days, and when lunch came to past, Rarity and Pinkie Pie held a meeting with Applejack and Dash as they told them about the party for Spike's birthday.
"So, you want us to keep Spike "Applejack asked as she took a bite of one of her apples.
"Yep, I talked to Fluttershy and she's helping us get it ready at Twilight's house." Rarity said with a smile.
"Sure, we'll keep him busy with train and bring him around seven." Dash said as she drank some of her soda as the group set up a plan on how the surprise was going to go down. As they were working on the plans to keep Spike from coming home early, Fluttershy, Twilight, and Spike were all enjoying their lunches in their spot on the roof.
"Hey, did you guys here about the weird skins going around town?" Fluttershy asked as she ate some of her sandwich.
"What are you talking about?" Twilight asked as she felt unsure of what her friend met.
"Some people were frond with marks all over their bodies and most of their blood missing." Fluttershy explained.
"Whoa, that's weird. Ri-ght Twilight, Twilight?" Spike asked Twilight, but she was lost in her thoughts and just sat there with a blank look on her face, and remained that way until Spike shock her
"Huh, oh yeah. Really weird." Twilight said as the bell rang and the trio put their lunches up as they headed down the stairs. All except Twilight, who looked out over the fenced area on the roof and looked out towards the large city and whispered, "This is not good, they might be here and we're not ready." And with that, she walked down the to head to the next class, not noticing a pair of red eyes watching her from a tall building across the street.
As the final bell rang and the students began to leave the building, Spike was moving through the crowd as he tried to meet up with Twilight so they could talk. But just as she came into his sights, Dash and Applejack grabbed him by the arms and began to pull him in the other direction.
"Wait, I need to tell Twilight where I'm going." Spike said as he tried to pull away from them, but they grip was to strong.
"We're call her at the gym, you have training to do." Dash said as she continued to pull him.
"But it's my..." Spike tried to explain to them, but he was cut off by Applejack.
"No buts, you must train as much as you can so you can get stronger." Applejack said as the duo looked at each other and winked as they pulled Spike out of the school building, and forced him into the front seat of Applejack's picked truck. Once inside, Dash hopped into the back and the trio took off. As they pulled out of the parking lot, Twilight was just putting the last few books for her night of studying and she was just about to zip it up when a voice caught her attention.
"Would you like some help?" Twilight turned just in time to see a tall boy with long black hair, a muscular body, soft blue eyes, and was wearing a blue jumper.
"Ummm, s-sure." Twilight smiled as she let the young man pick up her backpack and put it on his should as the duo walked out of the building as the crowed began to fin out. As the got closer to the end of the front gates, he turned to her and handed Twilight her bag.
"Here you go." the guy said as he gave handed her bag to her with a smile, which Twilight took with a smile on her face as she took her bag back.
"Thank you, ummmm." Twilight tried to thank the young man and smiled when she didn't know it.
"Lucky, Lucky Cloves." young man said as he shock her hand and waved bye to Twilight as he turned to walk away.
"Oh, ummm. I-I'm Twilight." Twilight called to him and he gave her a thumps up saying he had heard her. Twilight smiled as watched him walk away.
"Twilight, there you are darling." Rarity's voice called out as she walked up to her friend.
"Oh, sorry Rarity." Twilight said as she turned to face her friend.
"So, what were you doing? Pinkie and Fluttershy headed on to get stared with the party." Rarity asked as she looked at Twilight.
"Oh, I was just getting help from him." Twilight said as pointed to where Lucky was, but she saw no one there. Rarity looked at where Twilight was pointing and also saw no one. The duo looked around and still had no sign of him.
"Oh, well. Come on darling." Rarity said as she grabbed her arm and pulled her along down the side walk.
After a quick walk to Twilight's house, the duo opened the front door to a flood of balloons, streamers, and everything a party needed to have . The duo were shocked at the amount done by Pinkie in so little time.
"Oh, you two are finally here." Pinkie said as she walked around the house with a pink present under her arm.
"Pinkie, how did you do this so fast?" Twilight asked as she was not sure if it was possible to do this much in the time she had, even with magic.
"Simple, this." Pinkie said as she held out the present, which confused the duo even more.
"Pinkie, that just a box darling." Rarity said as she just looked at her with a sweet smile.
"No, it's my powers." Pinkie said with a smile as she reached into the box and pulled out the head of an angry Rhino.
"AHHHHHH." Rarity and Twilight screamed as Pinkie pushed the head back and then turned it to allow them to see it had nothing inside and was pitch black.
"Oh, a pocket dimension." Twilight said with a smile on her face.
"A what?" Rarity asked as she was not sure of what Twilight had said.
"A place in space and time with no limit to what it can hold, and can send you anywhere." Twilight explain as she examined the box.
"Yep, and you can explore it later." Pinkie said as she placed the lid back on the box and then said, "But right now, we have to work on getting the party finished. Rarity, order the pizza. Twilight, go and get Spike some presents." Pinkie ordered the duo, who looked at each other and nodded with smiles on their faces as they did what Pinkie had asked them to do.
At the gym, Applejack and Dash watched Spike continue his training as he focused on his fire magic in his palm. As he was doing this, the two girls smiled as they saw how far he had come and just how much magic he had.
"So, how far is his raining coming anyway?" Applejack asked as looked at Dash.
"He almost mastered a second level spell and he has about half a third level spell." Dash said with a smile as Applejack looked from her to Spike with a shocked look on her face.
"Wait, but he's only had magic not even a month." Applejack said as she was surprised.
"Yep, and we still haven't mastered a third level spell yet." Dash said as the duo continued to watch Spike work harder on his magic for another hour until an alarm went off from Dash's watch. "Alright, Spike. Time to call it a night" Dash said as she stopped his practice and walked over to him.
"Oh, really. So soon?" Spike asked confused as he lowered his hand and allowed his magic to calm down as Dash walked closer to him.
"Yeah, tomorrow we're work on finishing your second level spell." Dash said with a smile as she patted Spike on the back, which made him Smile back at her as they headed for the door along with Applejack. Just as they reached the door, a sudden pink aura appeared around the door and as they opened it, they were suddenly surprised by a flood of balloons streamers, and the four other girl jumping out from the door way.
"SURPRISE!" the six girls scream as the smile at the surprised Spike.
"Whoa, what is this?" Spike asked with a smile on his face as he looked at them.
"It's a birthday party, silly." Pinkie said with a smile as she reached into her box and pulled out a large cake that said, 'Happy Birthday Spike.'
"Oh, thanks guys." Spike said with a smile as the group of seven began to party and have a great night.
As the group of frienmods partied hard, three strangers appeared on the roof of a large building and looked down at the sleepy city.
"Master was right, this place will be a great place to stay." the tallest one of the trio said in a male voice.
"Yep, no hunters to take us out either." the medium one said in a female voice.
"Hmmm, and a bunch of sexy bitches to take." the smallest of the trio said in a hyper female voice as the trio continued to look over the city for a few moments before vanishing into the city.
TBC.
