We learn how powerful Iron Wills is compared to Spike and the rest of them, also we learn a little more of Princess Cadence and what Blueblood's real plan on summoning the Shadow King. And I have a major announcement at the end of this story that must be said.
Chapter 37: Out Powered.
The sun was setting on the city of Equestail as the citizens returned to their families and home, or headed out to enjoy their free time. But in a back alley way, far from the hustle and bustle of the main street, Spike stood face to face with Blueblood, Celestia's nephew and his hired muscle, Iron Wills. The two stared down at Spike, as he took in what he had heard about Blueblood and he clinched his fists as he looked at glared at him fro a few moments before he spoke.
"Tell, me." Spike yelled out as he pointed at the duo before he asked, "Why are you in this city and why are you talking to me?" This question made Blueblood laugh out loud as he placed his hands in his pockets as he smirked at Spike for nearly a minute before he decided to speak.
"Well, the answer to both is you." he said still smirking as Spike was shocked by this and stepped back as he was not sure if there was an ambush waiting for him.
"Relax." Iron said as he placed his hand out in front of him and Spike looked at him confused as he continued, "The rest of the team is already at the island." Spike let out a slight sigh of relief as he looked at them again before he asked another question.
"What are you planning on doing if you win the tournament?" Spike asked as he looked right at Blueblood's, smirking face as he was answered.
"I want to summon him back to this world." Blueblood said as he pulled out his hands and throw them up into the air as he continued, "I want to bring back the great and wonderful King of the Shadow, King Sombra." Suddenly , Spike's ears felt like they were on fire and he groaned from just hearing that man. Spike opened his eyes from the sudden pain and out of no where, he throws a fire ball at Blueblood. Who just stands there as Iron will block it. This made Spike look up at the the towering beast as he asked him a question.
"And your reason of following him?" Spike asked Iron as he looked at him and then at Blueblood, who nodded and only did Iron Wills answered Spike's question.
"Death." Iron said as Spike was left in shock as he looked at him for a few moments before he spoke again.
"What are you talk about?" Spike asked as he was not sure if he like how this was going and wondered what could he really say to some one who said they wanted death.
"I have lived for nearly 500 years, starting at the first Shadow Tournament." Iron began to explain as he lifted up his hand and looked at it for a few moments before he continued, "And my wish, to live at full power until I'm beaten in a fight." Spike heard what he said and was even more confused as he watched Iron clinched his fist before adding, "And thanks to Blueblood, I will finally loose a fight and be free." This final part infuriated Spike as he stared at the hulking beast before him.
"So, how are you going to do this?" Spike asked as he glared at the duo, who smirked at him as Blueblood looked straight at him as he took his right hand out of his pocket before he answered Spike.
"There are three ways for the King Sombra to return to the this world.". he paused for a few moments as he put one finger out in front of him as he then continued, "The first way, Celestia and Luna break the seal on his soul themselves. How ever, we all know they will never do that for any reason." After saying that, Blueblood remained still for a few moments with a cocky smirk on his face as Spike was glaring at him.
"What's the second?" he asked as he clinched his fist and gridded it teeth as he waited for the answer to his question. It took Blueblood a few seconds as he liked toying with Spike before he answered.
"The second is to have a willing vessel off their body to him for the use of escape. " Blueblood explained as he placed a second finger up and then went into a long pause before he continued, "But, this is nearly impossible since we need to have a piece of Sombra's soul to do this." Spike was getting madder and madder as he heard Blueblood talking about all this as if it was nothing, but Spike held in his anger as he need to know the final way to keep the evil king from returning.
"And the final reason?". he asked with his teeth still gridded and his still clinched as he was forced to wait for Blueblood to answer him after taking another long break, which took nearly a minute until he was answered.
"To kill the princess that was born from his blood while she's still a virgin." Blueblood said with a look of pure evil on his face as he stared at the furies Spike as he placed a third finger up as he continued, "And wait till you see he supple body and her kind, sweet face she has." This was to much for Spike as he was now seeing red.
"You bastard will not touch anyone." Spike yelled in rage as he placed his hand in front of him and then placed his other hand on his wrist as he began to focus his magic into his hand. Seeing this made Blueblood chuckle out loud.
"Oh, you think you can hurt me?" he asked as he stretched out both of his arms out and grinned from ear to ear as he screamed, "Give you your best shot."
"Guardian of the Lunar Princess. " Spike began to chant as a fire ball formed in his hand and he glared at the grinning Blueblood as he finished it, "Inferno Dragon Blast." And then suddenly, the fire ball suddenly began to grow larger and Spike glared at him as he lifted the huge ball of fire and then throw it at Blueblood, who was now very nerves as he watched it come closer to him. But suddenly a large hand reached out and stopped the attack in it's tracks, much to Spike's shock as he stared at Iron Wills, owner of the hand holding the fire ball in his bare hand and then suddenly closed his hand. This suddenly destored the ball.
"Ha, I told you." Blueblood said mockingly as he Spike stared in shock at what he saw and then Iron Wills opened his hand as Blueblood continued, "Now, show him what really power looks like."
"Warrior of the Royal Princess." Iron stopped as Spike gulped before Iron finished his chant, "Crushing Force." And then suddenly, a construction sight behind Spike burst out of no where and fell to piece. Spike was left in shock as he turned around and watched the large smoke go up to the sky. Spike continued to stare at it as Blueblood laughed out loud.
"Ha, see you in a week." he said mockingly as he turned to the side and headed out of the area with Iron Wills following close behind him, leaving as shocked Spike standing there as he stared at the destruction Iron Wills was able to do. Be as they walked off, Iron Wills looked at his hand and saw that his whole hand was burnt bad. Seeing this, made him grin and looked back at Spike as the duo continued on away from the young man.
After a few hours after meeting Iron Wills and seeing his power, Spike had finally arrived home to Twilight's house an explained to both of the siblings what he had gone through just a few hours ago. Hearing this drove Armor crazy as he looked at his brother in shock for a few moments of pure silence before he finally broke it.
"Are you sure that's what he said?" he asked worried about what he should tell Celestia.
"Blueblood told me himself and he had no reason to lie to me." Spike said as he looked down at his hand and clinched it as he looked over at his brother before he continued, "You really don't lie when you have some one like him to back you up." After saying that, Spike hung his head in shame and let out a long sigh as he said, "Armor."
"Yes?" he answered worried for Spike as he was wondering what was his brother thinking about and what he had to say.
"I-i'm not sure I can beat him." Spike said with a very sad tone to his voice as he began to tear up before he continued, "He's just way to strong for any of us to defeat and he took one of my best moves with his bare hand with almost no starch." Armor's eyes widen as he looked up at him and stared for a few moment before he spoke again.
"Wait, you mean to tell me you hurt him?" he asked as he half shocked and half happy.
"Y-yeah, but they were just slight burns on his hand." Spike said as he looked up at Armor, who was grinning from ear to ear as he patted Spike on the back.
"Trust me, that is a major deal." Armor said as he sat next to Spike and continued, "No one, in the history of the world has Iron Wills been even had an injury.." This shocked Spike as he smiled before asking.
"So, I hurt him?" he asked as he looked at his hand and smiled as he stared at it. Just then, Twilight walked into the room with tea and a few small sandwiches on a plate, which she placed in front of them ont the table before sitting across from him.
"I heard what you said Spike, so I looked it up." Twilight said as he reached behind herself and took out an old dusty book, which she opened to a certain page and turned it to show the duo as she continued, "Iron Wills was once a powerful warrior from years ago who entered the tournament with his team of humans, and he won every battle in the very first tournament all by himself. And then he wished for his wish and they turned him into the beast he is now."
"And so, To prove he's strong enough. He's going to kill Cadence and held Blueblood to summon the Shadow King." Spike asked as he was shocked at what he said, but he didn't see the tension Armor had on his face. But he quickly shock it off as he smiled at Spike.
"Don't worry, we can all do this are selves." he said in a proud tone as Spike and Twilight smiled back at him.
"your right, we can't just can't not try and ..." Spike began, but was suddenly cut off by his phone ringing and he quickly answered his text. But as he did, his eyes bugged out and blood shot from his nose as he passed out/ Shocked, Twilight and Armor looked at him worried before they look at his phone. What they saw shocked them as it was a topless Pinkie smiling at the camera and giving him a piece sign. Armor just stared at it in shock, but Twilight was blushing bright red.
"PINKIE PIE!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.
TBC.
