Spike was in his home polishing his sword and shield with some cloth then he sharpened his sword's edges, then 20 minutes lighter the dark metal on his sword and shield looked new, then he hanged them up and warped up and flew off into the day to find something to eat.

He flew over Everfree and found three big boars, he closed his eyes and turned invisible and went into the trees turning visible into 30 foot before like the first time he got his power back and zipped at them and landed three swift and devastating hits killing them in a single hit. He then turned into a adult dragon mode and picked one each claw and his mouth and shot like a rocket away from Everfree.

later Spike arrived at his home and dropped the boars on the ground and returned to normal size and with his flame at low heat cooking them. minutes later he was eating his first boar at his granite table later he finished his food and dumped the bones in the waters and went back inside. He was working on some defense mechanisms for his home. a new console on the far wall of the granite table which had three buttons: one was for cloaking, the second: a force field, the third: a stun field, which sent a charge of electricity which knocks out creatures trying to land. he also hooked a 360 camera on the roof linked to a monitor which had vision at every angle, including up.

Then his red light blinked on the wall he warped down to the lower level and decided to test the new system he worked on "Activate monitor" Spike spoke firmly and the screen turned blue and then Canterlot popped up a swarm of ponies on jet packs or Pegasus with blasters on their forelegs were flying towards the castle. These weren't hydra but they look like they were train for combat seeing how fit they were.


Spike ran to the wall placing his rightclaw on the scanner and the cave opened up and his stuff popped up from the floor and wall, he put his suit on hooked his belt on his waist before placing a few capsules in some pouches and disks, he then hooked his sword and shield on his back pulled his collar up to his neck and slipped his mask and cowl over his face and slipped his fingerless gloves on and went down the shoot blasting to Canterlot at supersonic flight. 10 minutes later he arrived and he saw the ponies were starting to attack, Luna and her guards plus some of Celestia were holding them off, so he slammed into one sending him on the ground and landed on the ground with another slamming him on the ground before kicking him into a wall and grabbed his shield from his back.

Then dozens flew at him and he shot at them bashing his shield into one before spinning kicking another in the head and uppercutting another with his free claw before grabbing him and dropping under a blast and blocking another with his shield before throwing the one he had into another sending them both on the ground, out. He weaved and dodged more blasts before flying at them slamming a boot in ones face twirling in the air and backkicked him into another before backfisting another with his shield and blocked a strike from a stallion grabbing its foreleg turning and throwing him him to the side, he flew slamming a knee in ones chest before punching him in the chest, then he zipped at five with his sword blocking blast before slashing the jet packs sending them on the ground and dropped into the center of them before dropping his shield and sword and went claw to hoof with them.

He ducked under a swing grabbing a stallion in headlock rearkicking another in the ribs before lefthooking another and frontkicked, kneed the one in his headlock in the stomach twice before whipping around and letting the pony crash into another before Captain Drake grabbed the last by the neck and slamming him on the ground knocking him out and stomping on his shield rim flipping it up before he roundhoused it into a Pegasus's head knocking him out and jumped up and caught it in a claw.

Captain Drake then popped out his wings and flapping them he floated off the ground "Which one of you is leader?" his voice boomed out, then the biggest of the stallions floated out stopping 5 feet from the drake.

"I challenge you to a showdown, One on one battle" Captain Drake declaired "I win you and your pests leave and never come back to Canterlot, you win well you win" he said.

"fine but no weapons just hoof to claw" the stallion declared. Captain Drake dropped his things on the ground.

"Very well" Captain Drake said and raised his fists in front of his face, he studied his opponent The stallion looked to righthoof dominate. The stallion attacked Captain Drake block high then low, then ducked under a swing spun and slammed a rearkick in his stomach and kneed him in the face jumped up under a strike twirled and slammed his tail in his face sending the stallion on the ground hard, Captain landed a foot from him.

"Advantages of being a dragon our tail is another weapon" Captain Drake told him, then jumped back to avoid a sweep and kicked the stallion in the head picked him up by his suit, then threw him into a pole and jumped forward a foot from him and punched him in the face and kneed him the side grabbed him under the chin fell back and turned threw the stallion on the ground placed his claws on the ground pushing and twirling forward slammed his boots in his chest sending him back several feet, then uppercutted him lifting him up but caught a hindleg and slammed him on the ground spun and threw him into a wall.

The stallion got up and popped out a sharp foot long blade from his gauntlets and charged and thrusted one at Cap, Captain just dodged and weaved caught a forehoof and slammed a strike on the joint making it bend and tore the gauntlet off and punched the stallion in the face and ducked another a swipe and sidekicked him in the ribs and dumped the stallion on the ground with a spinningkick stepped on the other foreleg and ripped the gauntlet off grabbed him by the collar and headbutted him knocking him out and tossed him on the ground.

Then glared at the others who knew the winner "now get him out of here" Captain Drake ordered and two came down, then he noticed one in the crowd who seemed reluctant the whole time "except you" Captain Drake said pointing at a Pegasus who flew away fast.

The Pegasus was starting to fly away when he crashed into something solid at full speed and fell to the ground with a thud, The Pegasus looked and saw it was Captain Drake he ran into, he had his arms crossed.

"Going somewhere?" Captain Drake rumbled. Luna flew up to them "Got a prisoner ask him what he knows about this new group" Captain Drake told her and tossed the Pegasus at her hooves.

Captain Drake noticed something on Luna's mind and zipped away and 5 seconds later Spike was back.

"Whos this drake" The Pegasus asked.

"I'm known as Spike by some but you will call me Dracone" Spike/ Dracone told him.

"Very well Dracone" the Pegasus said

"Now I have a few questions to ask" Princess Luna asked teleporting them into a room "But First I want a word of Spike" Luna said Dracone glanced at her "I mean Dracone" she said and casted a silence spell.

"What do you want to ask of me" Dracone asked.

"Since Canterlot is understaffed, I need some help" Luna said.

"Why ask me then why not Sparkle?" Dracone said.

"she has her own things to worry like helping Tia, So I need a temporary replacement for Tia" Luna told him "And seeing how you handle problems I couldn't think of anyone else" she said.

"Fine I will help but only because I still want Canterlot to be problem free" Dracone told her.

"Fair enough" Luna replied "And for goodness sake don't do anything over the top" she said.

"So now I'm Prince what do I do?" Dracone asked.

"You were born to the king of dragons I'm sure you can lead a rule" Luna told him.

"Your going to have explain to the main 6 and Celestia when she's better why I'm ruling" Spike told her.

"I will but for now we need questions from this scum" Luna said.

"Lets ask questions first before you judge" Dracone told her "So I will ask once who are you?" he asked the stallion after Luna dropped the spell.

"Zith I work for a group of soldiers called the scorpions" Zith told them.

"Do you have any relations with hydra?" Spike asked with crossed arms and stern look.

"Hydra are you nuts why would i work for a monster?" Zith said standing up but Spike jabbed a claw to his chest and sent him back in the chair and kicked the chair roughly sending the stallion into a wall and went up to him.

"I will ask question here" Dracone said menacingly "and unless you want to spend the rest of your life in the dungeon or want to live you answer" he said coldly "Clear?" he glared.

"Yes" Zith said weakly a blast of fire missed his head by 2 inches "I cant hear you" Dracone glared darkly.

"Yes!" Zith spoke loud with fear in his eyes.

"Good" Dracone replied without a smirk "Now, I'm not talking about one of those meaningless creatures, the hydra I'm talking about a society of psychopaths that plot in the shadows and murder innocent lives" he said sharply.

"Nope I'm bond by scorpion and I haven't heard of Hydra" Zith said.

"For your sake you best not be lying" Dracone told him "Luna you want to say some things" he said who walked forward.

"Where does thine group live?" Luna asked.

"And you best be quick to answer we don't have the whole day" Dracone told him with crossed arms.

"From under the grounds of Trottingham" Zith said then Dracone picked him up by the head and pinned him against the wall hard and made a combustion blast form in his claw hand "Last chance" Dracone grimly "I know for a fact it's too small for a group that big, so Where" Dracone hissed with is eyes glowing dangerously.

"Vanhoover" Zith cried.

"Much better" Dracone smirked and dropped him.

"So are you going to let me go?" Zith spoke.

"Nope" Dracone said simply "You see during the battle I noticed you just standing there and if I understand you don't like being apart of that group" he told him.

"How did you" Zith started.

"Lets just say I'm very observant" Dracone told him "So I will pass a one time offer only, swear your loyalty to me and I will give you a more rewording lifestyle" he spoke.

"i will even recruit you to the royal guards" Dracone said.

"So I just turn my back on Scorpion" Zith said "But still want to now if I can trust you" he told him Dracone looked deep into the and saw panic.

"Your wife is there being held captive by them isn't she and you been working for them so they can spare her" Dracone said.

"If you get her out I will except your offer" Zith told him.

"I will contact Captain Drake about this" Dracone told him "speaking of which where is the building?" he asked.

"You his friend?" Zith said "as for the building it's below an old abandon warehouse, it has cameras on the building on the front and top watching up" he told him

"Allie actually" Dracone corrected, he turned to Luna "Keep an eye on him and when I get back report anything when I'm gone" he ordered then walked out.


Spike was back in his house just finished putting on his cowl and he went out and blasted away to Vanhoover, 5 minutes later he narrowed his eyes and sonicboom was heard and Captain Drake disappeared as he went supersonic flight, then 30 minutes Vanhoover grew closer and Captain Drake slowed down.

He then went into an allay and jumped and grabbed on to the wall of a 3 store building and sprang on the roof and crouched low and leaped high and landed on a skyscraper and squinted and his vision spreaded outwards looking for a warehouse, then he zoomed in and didn't see cameras and he blinked his vision went back to normal "Nope" he said then flew to another 10 blocks away and looked again he scanned and finally saw one with a camera and ducked down and flew down the otherside of the building and zoomed to the right and into an allay and crept to the warehouse's back and stealthy went in the back door and saw it was abandon.

Captain Drake looked at the concrete floor he drew his strength and jumped 7 feet in the air and landed with huge blow with his fists the floor crumbled into a big hole and he landed on the ground 20 feet below with grace and drew his shield and popped out his wings and thrusted them down and jetted up to a platform. Looked through a door and saw all of the soldiers from earlier being cared for, then he crept to a cage in the wall and saw a mare inside, she had gold mane and tail and darker tan coat. He grabbed the door with a clawed hand the metal crounched and with a yank he ripped the door off waking up the mare who tried to get away.

"It's okay I'm not going to hurt you" Captain Drake told her softly "I'm Captain Drake I'm getting you out of here" he said he held out a claw after tossing the door away with a small clang and the mare took it, then grabbed the mare around the waist and stealthy flew away and out the back and blasted out from the allay quickly.

2 hours later traveling slowly with the mare he arrived back to Canterlot and landed on the ground and let the mare go, Then walked into the interrogation room.

"found your honey" Captain Drake said and blasted away fast.

Then 10 minutes later Dracone was back "anything happen while I was gone?" he asked Luna.

"He seemed true to his words" Luna told him.

"Very well so what about my offer" Dracone said.

"I pledge my loyalty to only you" Zith spoke "I will do anything I can to assure you aren't disturbed in anyway" he said.

"Good in return I will make sure you and your wife aren't harmed" Dracone vowed with his eyes burning with fire, he turned to Luna "Can you raise the sun and the moon?" he asked.

Luna nodded "Good" Dracone said "now announce who the ruler is" he said then Luna made some letters and sent them.


The ponies of Ponyville Canterlot and Crystal Empire and more came gathered looking up at Luna.

"Now I know Celestia is out for awhile but don't worry I found another replacement" Luna spoke "I have chosen a citizen that not only because he can fix problems but also I know when in charge you will not try anything foolish" she said. Then Spike walked up next to and the main 6 gasped in fright.
