The guards came back after three weeks trying to find any trace of Spike but they found nothing, everyone was searching except from Starlight Glimmer and Thorax and the ones who were on his side.
Princess Celestia turned to face them "Did you find him" she said.
"Negative Princess it's like he disappeared without a trace" a guard spoke.
"You been out there for three weeks and you didn't find him" Rainbow Dash said.
"Like you did any better" another guard snorted.
"Tia Tia Tia your soldiers need some serious training" Discord said with a smirk.
"Could you find him in your realm?" Fluttershy asked.
"Nope tried every point of Equestria but he doesn't want to be found" Discord told her "tricky dragon Spike is, gone without a sign" he said "Powerful and tricky and can hide and never know he was there" he said.
"Can even vanish under the nose of a high and mighty Alicorn" Discord said.
"Well since he only shows up during crime maybe we can catch him then" Twilight Sparkle said.
"Got a point but we need to move quick" Rarity said.
"I can grab him and Applejack can rope him with a rope enchanted with four alicorns magic" Twilight spoke.
"Okay I'll hold you guys to it" Celestia said "But don't underestimate him" she warned.
Spike was using his cones to hear "Hmm they never learn" he said. He then got his potion from the other night, then he searched on his screen to keep an eye on things and look to find creatures, he then found Bucky he was talking to a commander he pressed a sound button.
"So you want this creature to join us against Hydra?" The commander said.
"Yes he could be a good comrade and I trust him the most" Bucky said.
"More than the ones you fight with" The commander asked.
"yes"
"Very well I will have troops bring him in"
"Actually not a good idea he might think your going to attack him I will do it"
"Okay if you can find him" The commander said, just then his bulb flashed, he quickly ran to the wall and wrapped down to his chamber, he clicked the button it showed Vanhoover it was a bunch of assassins were stalking through the streets and then Manehatten popped next, bunch of blue aliens with rifles firing green blasts at the area. Spike thought I could go to Vanhoover first, then Spike grabbed his suit and slipped it on quickly and grabbed his shield and hooked on his back, hooked his belt on his waist which had new equipment bit size disk that unleashes a blast smoke in a pouch in another pebble shapped capsule which had knockout gas, then palm shapped disk in a back pouch that when activated and tossed it would unleash a high pitched noise that can distort opponents for either a sneak attack or escapes. then opened his suit and jumped and blasted away.
Later Captain Drake was flying fast as he could go, he gritted his teeth as he flew then a blink later he was a blurring streaks in the sky. He then opened his senses and saw the Vanhoover sign and slowed down to a fast speed, then he flew into an allay quietly and saw the assassins pass by Captain Drake stepped out and threw the smoke bombs at the center surrounding the assassins making them cough he Zipped and knocked each one out, he clonked one in the head and covered anothers mouth and pulled him into the smoke knocking him out, he zipped and swept one off it's feet jumped and sidekicked another in the chest sending him into the ground, grabbed one from the back and yanked and slammed him on the ground hard, he zipped uppercutted one grabbed him and threw him into another, then blurred and grabbed a assassins chain throwing each one together tied them up with the chain tightly and flew away stealthy, when the smoke cleared they were knocked out and tied up.
Then Captain Drake went into hyperspeed as high as it could go to Manehatten, the trees swayed from the wind of the speed the ground when he got close split and over oceans made the water split open for a minute, he gritted his teeth as Manehatten got closer, then he drew his sword and split it apart and with a shout he started to hack away in full speed and force. he maybe going fast enough to look like a streak but to him it was normal, He hacked and sliced with the swords black blood flew everywhere. Captain Drake kicked one in the stomach after a stab making it fly hundreds of feet leaving a trench in the ground, ran another through then turned threw it into the ground chopped an arm off of one and a leg of another and cut both from the waist in a spinning slash, he then punched one in the chest bones broke and cracked as it's chest dent inwards crushing his heart and making it fly, he saw more with jet packs and two ships he shot up slicing and grabbed one and threw him on the ground, he then yelled as his body glowed as most of his body lit on fire and slammed into a ship burning a hole through it then grabbed and threw it into the other hard blowing them up he looked around using his senses and found no more and blasted away leaving dead alien carcasses and wracked street in his wake.
6 ponies were there to get him they waited he didn't show, then they heard shrieks of aliens and ran and saw hacked up aliens it didn't take a genius to know who did it "Great we missed him" Twilight Sparkle said.
Two ponies were talking "are you sure you can handle this?" she asked.
"No worries my equipment is made to handle things like this" the stallion said he was at least 30 years old with graying dark hair and teal eyes and an army uniform.
"But just capture and contain him" she said.
"From what you told me this creature can't be killed but that doesn't mean he can't be slow down" the stallion said.
"But can you stop him with a container?" she asked.
"I've stopped other monsters with these I think it can handle you dragon friend" The stallion said.
"I just hope he doesn't find out or it will be a grave mistake" she said.
"But tell me this why do you want him stopped I've seen he does good for Equestria, he is using his skills for good" the stallion said.
"Equestria has 6 mares to help with peace, we do not need to solve things with violence" she said.
"Just what are you saying" the stallion snapped "We use violence to fight for freedom" he said.
"This is different"
"How so he's a better hero than the 6 mares and you want him to be stopped, is it because he's a dragon I know you have a fear of dragons but this is racist" the stallion said.
The mare didn't speak "It is isn't?" he said.
"I just want him the way he was"
"Right" The stallion said "But he sees you there he might suspect and snap because you betrayed your child, Celestia" he told her.
It was getting dark and Captain Drake was sitting on a building in Ponyville using his invisibility to stay hiding watching Starlight Glimmer who was a mile away in her house she was wrapped in a towel on her waist and head since she just came out of the shower, he focused his ears.
"the look on their face was priceless when they missed Captain Drake when they came back" Starlight smirked "Spike evaded the so called great heroes of Equestria, he must have known they were going to capture him and he slipped past them" she said clearly impressed making him smirk, he then glided to her house and flew through an open window and she closed it closed the blinds and blew out the lights.
"Ah Spike I just want to see you more often" Starlight Glimmer sighed.
Then Spike appeared in front of her "Wish granted" Spike smirked without the voice changer, she stumbled on her rump with a start was about to scream but Spike covered her mouth and placed a claw to his lips and removed his hand.
"What have I said about doing that?" Starlight demanded.
"Sorry and yes I did hear what they said were trying to do" Spike told her taking off his mask revealing his face.
"The girls said there was aliens in Manehatten" Starlight said.
"That was true but luckily Captain Drake was there and stopped them" Spike told her.
"I know you have good hearing but how did you know?"
"Where I go I have tools to keep an eye and ear open to things" Spike told her "And I choose not to hurt them in front of millions of ponies so I had to go at top speed which the only thing moving is me I scan the issue and carefully I get the job down fast" he said.
"I knew you were fast but not that fast, Celestia said you only go Supersonic" Starlight Glimmer said making him snort.
"Lets say the Book of Dragons knew more than she did, I can go hypersonic speed which is way faster and am more powerful than she could process, she didn't see me ascend as quick as i did because she thinks I'm a beast that can't think but perhaps she is the naive one, I know more than she does" he said.
"Shes so busy trying to repair what I don't want to be fixed, she is not aware of problems in the news" Spike said "those bastards are hydra agents and Gilda and her messed up flock were their henchmen, the terrorists in Los Pegasus were also hydra" he told her.
"Wait a minute hydra"
"You know of them"
"More like heard actually when I was a filly and read stories"
"If some ponies and mares didn't have their heads up their asses they would know what is happen" Spike said.
"Hey"
"Not you"
Spike thought of something "Did you know after months of scourging Equestria I found all of hydra's contacts" he said pulling out a rod from a tube shaped pouch clicked a button on the side and a hologram like list all the way from where he was standing and to the far wall of the Starlight's house which had more over a thousand of names on it and small pictures.
"Thats some list and impressive work but how did you" Starlight Glimmer started but paused, she remembered he could turn invisible "Oh"
"Also made a spell to hide my aura which is why Discord couldn't find me" Spike said.
"Powerful fast resourceful can hide and cover tracks" Starlight Glimmer smiled "and brave" she blushed.
"I'm just doing whats right which some can't see" Spike grumbled at the last part, he got rid of his suit "I know you just took a shower but would you like go on a date" he said.
"Sure" Starlight smiled, then they snuck out the back and Spike was out of his suit and scooped her up in his arms.
"What ever you do please don't throw up" Spike told her, then ran in dragon speed, every thing blurred and even full dragon speed Spike was graceful and skillful, then he went to supersonic everything streaked into a line, he then stepped on a rock jumped high landed on a tall building and jumped he flew into the night, Starlight looked and everything was small from up here more than she knew, the lights made it breathtaking.
"So this it's what it's like being you" Starlight said.
"more than less" Spike told her, then Spike wanted to give her a show he turned to the sky and breathed fire it exploded it a firework explosion, then launched three blasts which exploded, then he jerked a claw and they spread outwards, then he launched heat beam blasts from his and launched a combustion fireball from his mouth the two blast hit in the middle and exploded in a massive fire work, then launched a massive rapid fire streams of white hot fire a miles away they exploded in a breath taking display of light, then Spike pointed his mouth to the sky and exhaled strongly unleashing a stream of fire in the air it formed a fire fountain around them, then it faded then he blew a long stream of fire and waved his claw and grunted.
Starlight gaped at what he made his telekinesis made from the fire
'Starlight Glimmer' then faded.
"Your a dragon of many surprises Spike the Dragon" Starlight smiled.
"I try" Spike told her, then he tossed her up and caught her on his back and pulled his wings in his back, then flew through the air Starlight scooted up to look over his shoulder at the sight below.
"Sight to behold isn't it?" Spike asked.
"Thats a word for it" Starlight replied, then wrapped her forearm around his neck and rested her cheek against his. he then flew down to the ground, he landed on the ground lightly and Starlight jumped off, then he heard a song playing in the distance getting louder they both were drawn to it.
"We never finished our dance" Spike smirked, Starlight just smiled and stood on two legs they both were in the spot they were at the gala and the two danced then Spike hummed the song they listened to
Tangled – I See The Light Lyrics
Then Starlight hummed with him and started to sing
"All those days watching from the windows
All those years outside looking in
All that time never even knowing
Just how blind I've been
Now I'm here, blinking in the starlight
Now I'm here, suddenly I see
Standing here, it's all so clear
I'm where I'm meant to be
And at last I see the light
And it's like the fog has lifted
And at last I see the light
And it's like the sky is new
And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once everything looks different
Now that I see you" Starlight Song as they slow danced.
Spike decided to join in
"All those days chasing down a daydream
All those years living in a blur
All that time never truly seeing
Things, the way they were
Now she's here shining in the starlight
Now she's here, suddenly I know
If she's here it's crystal clear
I'm where I'm meant to go"
then they sang together
"And at last I see the light"
Spike song
"And it's like the fog is lifted
Starlight
"And at last I see the light
and it's like the sky is new"
The two grabbed forehooves and claws singing
"And it's warm and real and bright
And the world has somehow shifted
All at once, everything is different
Now that I see you, now that I see you"
The two finished
Then he saw a officer coming up the path and drank some potion and turned into a Pegasus with a black coat and purple mane and tail.
"I prefer to keep a low profile with cops around" Spike told her "But it's still me" he said.
"I know" Starlight smirked, the two walked through a park and looked at the stars in the sky, Spike looked and saw the Draco constellation.
"There is my ancestor and grand father" Spike said.
"Draco is your grand father?" Starlight said.
"Yup he is the one that had the change size ability and able to raise his body heat and have it expand outwards in a fire so hot it can burn the area around him inherited to my father which past on to me" Spike told her.
"just like my father Draco was very powerful but not as powerful as Bahamut because each member down the long is stronger than the last and there is me with immortality and both of my parents powers and grand fathers two abilities" he said.
"Celestia thinks she can get back the old spike back" Spike said "But I knew once I reclaimed my power and set my path I wouldn't be the same and she needs to know that I won't be reverting back to my old self ever again" he said.
"somepony needs to tell her to back off before she gets herself killed"
"I'll do it"
"That is just asking for trouble"
"Well I'm sick of creatures degrading you"
"Just ignore it I don't care what they think of me they can shove it" Spike said, then Spike saw some ponies looking at them in different positions, he saw a dagger and a gun under their coats. The ponies started following them, he then in full dragon speed changed into a dragon everything froze, he ran grabbed a dagger, it was onyx black with a hydra symbol on the hilt, he then chanted a spell and added a scale and breathed it ripple and turned it into a foot long combat knife with a simple handle but fancy blade it was inch and a half wide and had a dragon symbol on it and it was like his sword now and could glow and burn to, then he put the scale on the missing part which sealed back on and grasped the dagger it glowed green and ran the pony through and placed him against a tree and moved to the next picked him up he stabbed him in the heart and placed him leaning against a pole, he ran to one and stabbed him in the barrel made fast punch crushing it's heart with a single hit and leaned him against the fountain few seconds later they were dead and looked like they were sleeping, he turned back into a Pegasus and came back to a frozen Starlight Glimmer and stopped running everything was back to normal.
"Your probably right" Starlight agreed. The two sat on a hill for a minute and then the two, looked at each other and locked eyes and leaned in and kissed for a few seconds but felt like an hour for them, then Starlight yawned.
"lets get you home" Spike smirked then placed her on his back and flew away to Ponyville he hid in some clouds and turned back into a dragon then blasted away at full speed, Spike got them into her house and closed the door with his tale and stopped and put her down well see you.
"Can we try that kiss again so i'm kissing your real lips" Starlight Glimmer said, the two leaned again and kissed again, it was cosmic then broke away.
"So thats what it's like"
"I know rough"
"No"
"scaly"
"No"
"my two fangs in the way"
"No warm" Starlight Glimmer smiled Spike just smiled.
"Just wish others can see you like I do" Starlight Glimmer sighed.
"I have more things to worry about than negative feed back from those 6" Spike said "So they can shove it up their snobby prissy asses" he told her, Spike then said goodnight and snuck out and blasted away at full speed. Spike then flew back home and went into his house and smiled and sighed.
"If only all ponies can view me like you do Starlight" Spike smirked slightly.
