Chapter 1
Give what you get
(16 years later)
(Mr. Blue Skies)
*beep* *beep* *beep*
The alarm clock chimed repeatedly until a hand slammed onto the off button cracking the screen on the electric device.
"Ugh, what time is it." came a young teen just barely poking his head out of the green blanket.
"OH MAN, IT'S 6:30! IM LATE, IM LATE!" the young man screamed as he hopped out of his bed panicking trying to get to the bathroom, trying to brush his teeth,and slipping on his pants at the same time, falling over once or twice.
"CrudCrudCrudCrudCrud, if i'm late again Celestia's gonna be on my ass like stink on a goblin." he said as he slipped on a black shirt and a purple long sleeve undershirt and his purple and green jacket, purple shoes, and his emerald green backpack.
He took a quick second to comb through his hair and give it it's signature spiked up look with its green spines at the top. He slipped down the stairs, deciding to jump down the last few, and ran into the kitchen were he found a middle-aged woman cleaning up from that mornings breakfast while an old man was sitting as the table sipping on a cup of tea.
"Mom, what time is!" he panicked
"Spike? What are you still doing here, the bus left about twenty-five minutes ago? I thought I sent your little sister up to get you?"
"That explains it." Spike face palmed
"Well then you better get to moving young man, if I get another call from your principal your butt is grounded."
"You might want to take that warning to heart young Spike" the old man said.
"Yeah, yeah grandpa, I love you guys. Bye" he said quickly before he kissed his mom on the cheek and grabbed an orange, his skateboard, and ran out the door.
"AND SPIKE NO FLYING!" his grandpa shouted before Spike slammed front door. "Ugh, kids these days" the senior citizen complained before he took a slow sip of his tea.
"Oh i'm sure he'll be fine father." Spikes mother replies
(with spike)
"Come on, come on" spike rushed himself.
He was pushing off on his skateboard as fast could possibly go, without using his abnormal strength and speed to burn through the wheels as quickly as he did his last one. As he was speeding down the side walk on his skateboard he saw a little girl standing under a tree crying, he could have kept goin, but him being him, he kinda felt obligated to stop. He stopped and look up and saw a cat in the tree. Without asking Spike put his skateboard up against the tree and started to climb, he eventually got to the branch and saw that the cat looked scared.
"Shh, hey, hey, it's gonna be alright" Spike said as he stuck out his hand to let the cat sniff it, the cat took a sniff and the cat eventually started to purr and rub itself on Spikes hand. He was about to climb back down until he heard a snapping sound. Out of nowhere the branch he was sitting on snapped, he found himself falling toward the ground, he quickly shielded the cat from the fall by tucking it in his jacket.
"The things I do for the greater good" Spike muttered as he rubbed his neck and handed the cat to the little girl.
"Thank you Mister" the little girl said in a cute voice and giving him a peck on the cheek before running off.
Spike gave a light smile as he watched the little girl run off, not even noticing the small cut on his forehead which healed in a matter of seconds.
You see, Spike was no ordinary sixteen year old. Of course he had normal problems just like any other kid, for example, girls, talking with girls, talking about girls, being around girls, and uncontrollable hormones. That kind of stuff. But there was one teeny-tiny, itty-bitty thing that set him apart from the rest, he was part dragon. No it wasn't by choice, it turns out that he came from a long lineage of family who were once dragons who, and for an experiment, decided to live with humans to decide if they were worthy of their blessings of power. It began with four gods, each of them with a seperate goal, and only one found what he truly sought. Love.
The dragon shape shifted into a young man who was a poor and lone wanderer. He wandered day and night never stopping for too long until one dark stormy night, while walking down a dark alleyway, he heard a shriek from a what sounded from a young woman. He quickly made his way toward the noise and noticed a group of local street thugs forcing themselves on her. What he did next surprised the young woman, he stuck his hand out, as if to shake one of the thugs hand. Over time he eventually shook the hand of every single man in the group, and just spoke to them. He just spoke.
He didn't scold them, he didn't threaten them. He just spoke, and as he spoke and slowly befriended these threatening men. The woman just sat there. Dirty, scared, heart thundering like the storm above, but still unmoving. He eventually turned toward her and held out his hand. He looked into her eyes, and hers into his and he knew then, he found what he was looking for. He eventually dismissed his new found friends and volunteered to walk the young woman home. As they walk she revealed to him that she was the youngest of the emperor's daughters who wanted to see the outside of her palace, even for a brief moment, and witness the beauty it had to offer. Because of his selfless kindness and unwavering bravery she offered him her hand in marriage as retribution for his actions in which he gladly accepted.
However, the emperor did not approve of the marriage, he believed that his daughter was above such commoners such as the dragon pretended to be. Again the dragon did only what he truly could, he reached out his hand toward the emperor. But unlike the thugs from before, the high and mighty emperor refused the handshake, refusing to touch such filth. The disguised deity did nothing but smile and bowed. And as if the emperor wasn't even there he took the princess into his arms and with a blinding flash of light disappeared, leaving behind nothing more than his his dirty beggar clothes and walking stick.
Some say the god took her with him to heaven and had her ascend to godliness alongside him, others say he stayed on earth and married her as a mortal man. To those who do know, the couple eventually had children, twin boys each inheriting their father's godly powers and trained under him, along with their mothers loving care. For a time, things were happy. The boys slowly grew into men, and the love between the family was unwavering. But with time came sacrifice. As the boys grew, so did their mothers age, eventually so old she ended up dying at the age one hundred and twelve. The dragon god however was immortal and could not die, and could not enter the underworld to retrieve her soul for if so he would not be able to return to his children. So he did what he could, he trained the two demigod boys in the ways of the dragon, taught them how to harness their powers and fight the demons that threatened the world his only begotten wife adored. One of the boys grew so powerful that he believed himself to be above his humanity, he decided to go against his father wishes and prove his might by bringing back his mother's soul from the underworld and back to his father.
But as soon as he crossed the threshold to the underworld, he was overcome with the undeathly power that the underworld had to offer. After a decade he did eventually return, but it was not him, no, it was something else, something dark, something ungodly, unholy. By this time both of the boys had fully grown into men. The father eventually told the son that stayed with him in the mortal realm to defeat his brother and lock away the spirits that raged upon the land. The battle between the siblings was so violent, it shook the world, leveled entire mountain ranges, causing cracks and fissures in the earth to split into pieces.
When the battle was over neither side was broken, nor still in one piece. But as the brothers began to take their stances, the uncorrupted brother did something that brought the other brother to tears. He stuck out his hand. He brought out the humanity in himself and his brother showing mercy upon his brother. Still corrupted, the brother broke to his knees and wept, the darkness slowly seeping from him. As the darkness drained, so did his inherited powers from his father, he eventually succumbed to his wounds and died in his brothers arms. The brother took his siblings body back to their father were he was cremated and his ashes buried and used to replace the beauty of the world that the brothers destroyed in their quarrel.
Having lost two of his most precious things that he was ever blessed with, the dragon king sent his final son into the world a its guardian. To protect it and look after it while he was gone, the dragon god himself left the world, but did not return to the heaven above with his brethren and sisters. Instead he flew into a wild and erratic volcano long forgotten to time, in which he tamed with a single breath. It was through that volcano that he flew to the center of that world where he meditated for the rest of eternity, forever locked in a divine slumber till the end of time.
As for the only son, name unknown still to this day, he did as his father told him. He wandered earth defeating the evil that was let out unto the world by his brother. He himself eventually found himself a wife, bearing him many children, but only a selective few actually inheriting his power. These children eventually having children of their own. Some choosing to embrace the god given heritage, other choosing just to live as simple mortals. Being half human, they were still susceptible to injury. Some even dying on their quest to purge the world of evil. Eventually, that power was inherited by our protagonist Spike. It had been passed down from generation from generation, eventually leaving Spike as one of the newly dubbed wielder of such power.
And it was with this power that Spike was to continue the fight that his ancestors fought so very long ago…...well suppose to anyway.
(back with spike)
"Ah man, just made it." Spike said out of breath as he took his seat in the back of his English classroom.
"Good morning class, today we will be being reading Homer: The Odyssey, can any one tell me-" the teacher walked it with burgundy hair and a two piece dress to match said before she looked in Spikes direction. "Well it looks like has finally decided to join us, on time this time" she teased causing the whole class to look in Spikes direction causing him to blush.
"Well then" she continued, "Now that everyone one is hear and accounted for, before it slips my mind, i'd like everyone to turn in last night's homework, , would you kindly take it up while I finish up these handouts.
"Right away " the young girl responded.
Her hair was violet with a pink streak flowing through her hair. She was about 5'8 and wore a purple sweater that hugged her upper body nicely, especially in certain 'areas' in Spikes point of view. As she stood up to collect the papers he got a good look at her. She was wearing a violet skirt that ended at her lower thighs and white knee socks, it gave her a sort of sexy school girl kind of look.
'Aw man, what I wouldn't give to wake up to that every morning' Spike thought as he watched her hips sway as she came down his aisle.
"Spike" he heard in a echoing voice.
"Spike!" he heard again in a hushed tone.
He looked over to his right and saw a young girl just about his age with red hair and a red bow in her hair. She had an large A-cup chest and was wearing bright blue overalls that stopped a bit below her lower thigh with a yellow shirt and red sneakers.
"What's up Apple bloom?" Spike asked.
"Y'all wouldn't have happen to know the answer to number three now would ya."
'Oh crap, last night's homework! I was so caught up in fighting off those werewolves in central park last night I forgot to do it.' Spike thought worriedly.
"Oh yeah here, take this" Apple Bloom said as she handed him a sheet of last night's homework with the answers. "Course'n I didn't get all the answers, makes it looks like you did most of the work yourself"
"Oh man Bloomie don't I owe you one" Spike said as he relaxed.
"Don't call me that" Apple Bloom said as she said as she blushed, "All I knew was that y'all was fixn yourself up for failure so I decided to help y'all a tad bit. Maybe if you didn't sleep all class period you'd learn something.
"Alright, alright, fine. Whatever you say…...Bloomie."
Just as Applebloom opened her mouth and was about to give spike a piece of her mind, Twilight cut her off.
"Homework?" she came, her smile makingSspike quake in his seat.
Spike looked into her eyes and for a quick second, went more stupid than usual.
"Uh...s-sure" he said as he shakily handed her the paper.
"Thanks" the school girl replied replied
"No...prob" he said more than likely gawking like an idiot.
"Here you go Twi" Apple Bloom said as she handed her fellow classmate her paper. "Hey Twi, you comin over today?"
"Sorry Bloomie, but im kinda backed up on things I need to get done. But hey, maybe next time."
"Aw, ok." came the underclassmen.
Twilight walked off down the next aisle while Spike composed himself.
"So…..how come she gets to call you Bloomie?" Spike teased.
"Sh-shut up" Applebloom replied blushling once more.
"Ok, now that everyone's homework has been collected, everyone turn to page one hundred and sixty five and begin reading.
(One long and boring first period later)
Spike was walking down the hallway with Applebloom on his left, walking her to her second period.
" I tell ya, It's not that is a bad teacher, it just-"
"It just that your just one of them lazy type boys Grandma Smith was warnin me about." Apple Bloom cut him off.
"Of course I am." he said sarcastically, "Hey I gotta make a stop at my locker, see you after school.
"Aw, ok, bye Spike" she waved as she walk off.
He went over to his locker, and after failing the combination a couple of times opened it and got out his gym clothes and shoes, and put his lock back on his locker. It was at this time the hallways were starting to clear our.
"Welp, guess it's time for me to get down the gy- *ooff* Spike turned around just to run into what felt like a wall. "Oh sorry I didn't see you there- oh no."
"What's going on squirt, not happy to see me" said a boy who looked more like a man. He was 6'2, he basically towered of over Spike like the troll he was.
"Hey Jeremy, how's my favourite troll face doing"
He picked up Spike by his shirt and pinned him against the locker. "You know what time it is squirt"
"Hopefully time for you to learn that this is the 21st century. There's this new thing called deodorant, you should try it." he said with a smirk on his face.
"Oh, you think your being cute"
"Bitch im adorable." Spike shot back in quick succession.
"Oh yeah, I can fix that for ya right now." as Jeremy raised his fist as if to punch Spike in his face.
"Then bring it" Spike said, eyes burning a bright shade of green with cat slits in them, baring his fangs.
*Ahem* came a female voice as she cleared her throat.
Jeremy's eyes went wide as he dropped Spike and turned around and put on a nervous smile.
"Pr-principal Celestia"
"What have I told you about harassing students." She wore a white suit with a a sun pin on her chest. Her hair was a variety of colors from a pale teal, to a soft pink she was definitely a voluptuous woman indeed, but carried a sense of humbleness and authority in her demeanor.
"What have I told you about harassing other students in my hallways, I'll have you know that I will be having a most serious discussion with your football coach."
"Oh come on Celestia, really" Jeremy pleaded.
"That's Principal Celestia to you, now both of you, to class this instant."
Spike picked up his belongings and made his way to the gym while Celestia escorted Jeremy to his classroom.
"Awe man, now im late for gym" Spike said as jogged off.
(At the gym)
"Sorry , I was dealing with something with Principal Celest-"
"Dont care Drake, get to the locker room and onto the court, it's dodgeball today, move it, double time!" the coach came. She wore a blue uniform with short shorts with a matching collared shirt and sunglasses with hair that had streaks of red and yellow. She was a bit small in chest but hindquarter wise and in the legs were something else entirely. They were toned and smoothed as if they were kept prim and proper on the regular, ready for someone to just take a bite out of them.
Spike made his way to the locker room, and once he made sure that he was alone, he started to change into his gym clothes. Now Spike, being part dragon already had a strong physic, but because of his grandfathers training, he was totally RIPPED. Not only was he incredibly carved but his body was slightly beaten and bruised with slightly faded cut and scar going down his upper body. (One million percent badass) He slipped on a t-shirt, purple shorts with a green stripe running down the side and some green sneakers. He locked his stuff up and walked his way into the gym in a slouch.
Now most guys would dream to have Spikes body, and most girls would love to have a man who looked like that. But if anyone saw those scars or and part of his body he would always have to come up with some erratic story to keep his secret training hidden, it was just easier pretending to be self-conscious about his body than explaining how he could literally split the world in half if he wanted.
(In the gym)
"Man, I -*ooff*- hate dodgeball day, what about you Snips" came young chubby short boy with orange hair and a blue gym outfit as he got hit dead in the forehead with a large rubber dodgeball leaving a red imprint.
"Not faring too much better Snails" said a tall, skinny, lanky boy before he was decked in the stomach with a ball and fell onto his side.
"Snips! Snails! Out!" Spitfire called out as she watched the two boys limp there way off the gym court.
"Oh come on guys, don't leave me out here alone!" Spike yelled at his two friends as they limped away.
"Don't let our sacrifice be in vain Spike." Snips said while reaching arm out to him as if he was dying.
Now all that was left were down to the players, three people counting himself. Two girls and himself. The girl on his team was named Applejack. A farm girl with strength to boot. She was just taller than him standing at 6'0, with a long blonde ponytail and cowgirl hat sitting firmly on her head. The girl on the other team was and named Rainbow Dash, the star athlete at just about everything at the school. About the same height as he was, she had more petite frame that the farm girl with her hair dyed in a Rainbow pattern.
"Rainbow, AJ, good hustle. Drake, GET IN THERE!" Spitfire.
"IM TRYING!" Spike Screamed
"ANYMORE LIP LIKE THAT AND YOU'LL BE GIVING ME ONE-HUNDRED PUSH-UPS BEFORE THIS PERIOD IS DONE!" Spitfire shot back.
It's not that, that would bother Spike, it's not like his grandfather hadn't put him through worse, but he just didn't feel like putting forward all that extra effort.
"Hey AJ, after I ice the plus one wanna take this 1v1 personal, lets say whoever wins pays for lunch?" Rainbow Dash called out to the farmgirl while tossing a ball in her hand.
"Now come on RD, play nice with the other kids." Applejack replied.
"Im right here y'know." looking toward the farm girl Spike argued
"SPIKE LOOK OUT!" Snips and Snails yelled out in unison.
Spike looked ahead of him and saw Rainbow Dash sling the ball in his direction. From what he could see, the ball was moving in a blur of red and coming at him faster than he could move. For few quick seconds, the world around Spike moved slowly, his dragon reflexes kicking in. His eyes turned into slits, teeth sharpening and his arm muscles, tensed up, and moved at superhuman speeds to catch the ball that was mere inches from his body. As Spike moved his arm through the air the fellow students could hear the whiz of the ball through the air as well a the loud boom that came afterward from the impact of the ball on his hand.
"Rainbow Dash…...out?" Spitfire announced surprised just as much as she was amazed.
"He…...caught it?" Rainbow Dash said in confusement.
"Woah, he caught it." came one girl who managed to capture it all on camera.
'I….caught it?' Spike thought surprised and a blank look on his face.
"HELL YEAH SPIKE!" said one student before he was swarmed by his fellow classmates. All of which chanting his name.
Rainbow Dash however glared through him with a burning passion.
AJ came over and gave him a strong pat on the back.
"Wooh-we partner, I have never seen anyone taken back to the wire by Rainbow Dash and actually win. Great job" the farm girl commended him.
"R-really, it was nothing, just luck I guess, I really didn't do anything, my arm just moved on it's own."
"Skilled with his hands and Humble, Granny would love having you around" she said with a light chuckle.
"Uh…..Thanks" he said, sure as the sky was blue that he was blushing like a cherry tomato at her compliment.
"Alright everyone, water up and take it to the washrooms! Drake, Nice work. Rainbow…...you're losing your edge." Spitfire yelled to the student.
Spike still getting pats on back and cheers from his fellow students.
(Back in the locker room)
"Alright Spike!" shouted Snip's.
"You just defeated the legendary Rainbow Dash, do you know how epic that is, you'll go down in the history books!" said Snails.
"Look guys, its not that big of a deal, I just caught a ball." Spike tried to explain himself as he walked out of the changing stall.
"Yeah, a ball thrown by Rainbow Dash!"
"Is it really that serious dude?" Spike continued as the three walked out of the changing room and down the hallway to the cafeteria.
The boys got in the lunch line and waited to get their lunch then went to sit down. All while the two other boys still praising Spike
"Dude, chill, let's just eat lunch and change the subject" Spike said as he took a bite of his pizza.
"Scootaloo don't!" Applebloom screamed as she chased a girl in an orange shirt and purple matching jeans and jean jacket. Her hair was purple and short cut with an A-cup chest. There was a girl who was following Applebloom. She was the shortest out of all the three with a blue jean jacket, a pink dress, flip flops, and her hair was short reaching her shoulders and was dyed pink purple and white. Her chest being a small B-cup being the largest of the three girls.
"Hey you" Scootaloo said as she ran up to the table and yanked Spike by his collar, "you that Drake kid."
"Yeah, so?"
"So this!" she said as she showed him the video of him catching the fast one that was chucked at him by rainbow dash.
"I caught a ball, big deal." Spike replied sarcastically.
"It IS a big deal." Scootaloo continued. "I've done the math and have even clocked it on a speedometer, Rainbows average throwing speed is about fifteen mph when get she gets a good throw, twenty if it locks in on a target like you without anything else interfering, and you just caught it as if it were nothing. Do you know how much force per square inch that thing must have generated!
"No, and I don't really care" Spike said taking a sip of his soda.
Agitated Scootaloo said "Let me see your hand" as she yanked Spikes right arm almost pulling him across the table examining the hand.
"Hey, that's our friend y'know" Came Snips.
"Yeah" came Snails soon after.
Scootaloo just pulled out a naughty +18 magazine from her backpack and tossed it in front of Snips and Snails. "Here, go crazy"
"Just let him go Scoot *pant* it's not like he's some superhuman mutant." came girl in the pink dress in between breaths.
"But he is Sweetie Belle!" Scootaloo showing the two girls his hand, causing Spike blush at all the attention they were giving him "Look at his hand, that throw, along with the factor of the air pressure of the ball, and the surface area of the ball compared to his hand, that impact should have at least broken or dislocated a finger, but look, not even a bruise! I did the math!" she said as she pulled out a small notebook filled with notes and equations.
"Sorry about her Spike, it's just RD is like her role model and if someone out did her like you did it makes her a bit, uneasy" said Applebloom.
'All I did was catch a damn ball!' Spike thought.
(at another table)
"So this Spike fellow actually managed to catch your signature sonic boom speed ball." came a girl with purple hair, skirt, and white spaghetti strap shirt with a light jacket and a large Double-D rack sipping on an ice tea
"Yeah, and the worst part is he totally brushed it off like it was nothing." said Rainbow Dash
"Wooow Weee, that guy must have some serious firepower lurking in those guns" said a girl excitedly, eating birthday cake while flexing her left arm, dressed from head to toe in pink, with wild pink poofy hair and breasts the size of birthday balloons.
"Oh come now Dashie, i'm sure he didn't mean to embarrass you." came a quiet girl in hushed voice. She had pink hair and wore a yellow sweater with pink butterflies on her right pocket. Thing is, with the body she was rocking, people questioned how a girl so good looking could be so shy, silently putting the other girls to shame, petting a bunny in her lap.
"I know Flutters, that's the bad part, he wasn't even trying to." The athlete continued.
"Well accidental or not, I think we've got our guy" Twilight said as she sat in between Rarity and Pinkie. "Celestia already confirmed it, I just wanted to see it for myself." She looked over at Spikes table where Snips and Snails were pulling back Spike while Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were pulling trying to pry Scootaloo off of Spikes arm. "Rumor has it he's the real thing, Celestia's been watching him closely but now that we have this evidence there's no doubt. 'Just who are you Spike Drake' she thought to herself before pulled out a phone and paused the clip of spike catching Rainbows ball the second his eyes changed, overlooked by most.
"Come on Scootaloo, that's my good arm" Spike pleaded.
(at the end of the school day)
"Finally, 2:30, it's like day gets longer every day." Spike complained.
"Oh come on now, it wasn't that bad." Apple Bloom said.
"Easy for you to say, not everyone is an offspring of William Shakespeare and Leonardo Da Vinci."
"Oh whatever, stop being such a cry baby Spike.
"Fine, fine, whatever…..Bloomie"
"That's it, you just bought yourself a one way ticket to full nelson avenue" the young farm girl playfully threatened.
"I hope its all expenses paid" Spike quipped as Applebloom put him into a full nelson. Nothing he couldn't handle. But it was then that he realized.
"Hey, Applebloom, think you could let go, I think I left my wallet in the classroom."
"Aw what? But you said you were gonna walk me home, we were gonna hang." Apple Bloom said disappointedly.
"I know, I know, I know what I said, but i'll pay you back I swear." Spike pleaded.
"Hmmph, fine" the farmgirl said in a huffy tone "but you owe me." she said as she stuck out her pinkie finger
"I'll get you later, I promise" Spike said before returning the gesture wrapping his pinkie finger around hers and running off toward the school.
"Well you better" Apple Bloom said to herself before walking of into the distance towards the farm.
(back with Spike)
"Ah there it is" Spike said as he picked up his wallet that he left in the classroom and slipped it into his green backpack.
"Well, well, well, look who we have here, a lost little squirt, scared and alone." came a familiar voice.
"Well, well, well if it isn't trollface and his pig faced posse" Spike quipped as he turned around "and the name's Spike, oh look you brought the whole backyard barnyard." Spike said as he gestured to the few second in commands that Jeremy brought with him.
"It was because of your sorry ass that coach had me benched, without me our DL is worthless."
"Was it really my fault that Celestia just happen to be walking the same hallway you caught me on. Coincidental if you ask me. And besides, not like it was doing any better with you." he said as he returned fire.
"Alright smartass, more like life saving for your case, but now that you're all alone, don't think about anyone coming to your rescue."
"I'm sorry did you say say something" Spike said as he looked up from tightening up his shoe laces.
"Thats it pipsqueak, when i'm done with you, your face is gonna match your coat.
"Yeah, thing about that is….LATER" Spike screamed as he threw his coat into Jeremy's face and slipped under the giant's legs.
"And we're off" Spike said as he began running through the halls at top speed trying to outrun the bullies.
(Sum 41: Fatlip)
"Get that freak" Jeremy yelled as the whole team went after Spike.
Of course Spike could have taken the whole team by himself, but because of the fact that he didn't feel like being chewed out by his grandpa when he got home, he chose the alternative. As spike was running through the hallways he decided 'what the heck' and jumped down an entire flight of stairs landing from level to level without so much as stopping to take a breath. As well as knocking over a few janitor rollers to get them off his trail.
"What is this kid" said one of the Jocks chasing after the half dragon.
Spike was vaulting over rails and tables like they were nothing, for a point in time even, running past the main cafeteria area where the cheerleaders were practicing, adding a bit of flare to the chase by adding some unnecessary vaults and somersaults over the tables and seats and juking out some of the Jocks that tried cutting him off.
"Move it or lose it" Spike quipped as slid under some of the props the drama kids were carrying. Getting some 'ooo's' and 'aww's' from the crowd. He eventually rounded a corner where he ran into Coach Spitfire writing on a clipboard.
"Hey coach" Spike said before he got up and dashed down toward the art hall.
"Drake?" Spitfire said confused
That's until she saw the stampede of jocks running behind him. "Aw shit, there goes my day"
She then pulled out her walkie talkie and put it up to her mouth and said, "Soarin' we got a 4-11, big dogs are after the green heading toward the art hall, I repeat big dogs are after the green!"
She then got up and ran after them.
'Almost home free' Spike thought as he ran towards the exit.
(End Song)
"Shit, locked!? Who the hell locks an exit door!?" Spike complained, realizing he was in a dead end.
He turned around to the bullies closing in.
"No place to turn now twerp" said Jeremy out of breath
"You don't want to fight me" Spike said he turned around to face his pursuers.
"You're right" Jeremy said, "Which is why its gonna be more of a beatdown"
"I'm serious, I said get back!" Spike said trying to steady his temper suddenly flaring, the dragon in him wanting to be let out, his eyes turning into slits once again, glowing green, the green spikes on his head turning into small horns.
"What's wrong freak, scared"
"I said get BACK!" Spike screamed, his last word coming out as green and purple fire.
"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT" Jeremy said, him and his team now quaking in their pants, one of them even peeing themselves.
"What's going on here!" Coach Soarin' yelled at the crowd of boys followed by Spitfire. "Should have known, Jeremy, get your gear, your off the team."
"B-but coach, that freak breathed fire, my eyebrows are gone!" as he pointed toward his singed forehead.
"No if's or but's about it, move it, all of you, or your all expelled! came Soarin'
"Except you Drake" came Spitfire, "your with us. "
"Aw what?" Spike said complaining, having already calmed down and had reverted back to his normal state.
"No back sass, move out, Celestia's office, now.'
"But"
"I said move it!"
'Aw man, grandpa is totally gonna kill me for this. What about mom!?' Spike panicked as he thought about what kind of sick punishments awaited him in his near future.
(In Celestia's office)
Spike was sitting in a chair it the middle his principal's office, her back turned to him watching the giant TV that had the recording of him and his little freed running escapade he had with the bullies just moments ago. Behind him was Coach Soarin guarding the door and spitfire leaning up against the wall. As he watched the tapes over and and over again, he threw up his hood and tried to sink into his chair as far as he possibly could.
Celestia took in a deep breath "Do you mind telling me with this is, Mr. Drake." as she turned around and looked at him, crossing her fingers on her desk, and looked at Spike.
"I do….parkour?" Spike said thinking up a quick lie.
"Oh? Then how do you explain this?" she said as she pulled up a picture of Spike jumping down three flights of stairs and sticking it with a clean landing, a barrel roll, and the continued running of into the distance.
"I do A LOT of parkour" Spike said sticking to his story.
"Of course you do, as a matter of fact have not a single doubt in the fact that you do." she returned
"Wait really?" Spike said confused
"Absolutely, I have only one question, could you possibly explain this to me?" As she paused the video right when Spike started to transform.
"Umm….I uh…I got nothing" Spike said as he just gave up.
"Nothing at all?" Celestia said smiling, "I mean you were faring so well for yourself just moments before."
"The point being?" Spike ask ignoring the older womans sarcasm.
"We know what you are Spike, who you are, where you come from." Spitfire said bluntly.
"What do you mean?" Spike responded.
"Don't play coy with us kid, it's already enough that we had to keep you from taking those boys through the crematorium." Soarin' said putting in his two sense.
"Hey, in my defense, I chose the fight or flight option." shot back Spike
"And we truly commend you for doing so, but its the fact that your power was triggered so easily, and quite unusual that it chose now of all times to unsuppress itself." Celestia said
"Unsuppress itself...wait., wait, wait. How do you know all of this, you're not dragon hunters are you? If so I aint gonna go down easy."
"Unlikely hot shot" Spitfire interrupted "That chair your sitting in has an enchantment on it, the longer you sit the more your powers become null and void."
"Wait, really!?" Spike said as he jumped up out of the seat.
"No, but that'd be cool right?" Spitfire chuckled.
"I believe what Spitfire was going to say is that there far more to this school that meets the eye." Celestia said.
"Mr. Drake, do you remember the story of the creation of your kind?"
"Yeah, my grandpa used to tell me it as a bedtime story when I was little." Spike responded.
"Well, did he ever inform you on what ever happened to the land in which was brought back."
"I thought we were living in it"
"While that is true, it should also be taken into account that the battle didn't just take place in this realm, there are many places where the brothers fought and leveled in there battle. There were also many enemies that stood in there way, my sister and I being two of them." the Principle explained.
"Wait, back up, you knew my great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, greaaaaat grandfather? Just how old are you?! No offense of course." Spike said
"None taken, and far older than any mortal. Now, would you like the long story, or the short version?"
"Either or" the young dragon responded.
"Very well" the Principle responded, " Well, long ago, when your story mentions four gods, it is relating to my sister Luna, goddess of the moon, and I Celestia, goddess of the Sun, along with your extremely great grandfather the dragon god, and the god of chaos, Discord. As the brothers fought day in and day out, it destroyed the land in which we, and hundreds upon thousands call home, Equestria, as well as thousands of other worlds. My sister and I, being directly affected, decided in order to stop the conflict we would try to reason with them both.
I left to see your uncorrupted grandfather to ask him to end his and his brothers quarrel in which he gladly obliged, but as I left to check on my sisters progress, what is saw in return was no longer my sister, more so an evil entity that was derived and fed on her inner most hatred and jealousy the darkness of the brother tainted her beyond repair. Unlike your grandfather, I could not appeal to my sisters humanity and ended up having to banish her and have not seen her in far over a millenia, although be it a tragic one, it was a sacrifice that I had to make in order for the well being of my people." Celestia said as she started to tear up.
"Easy Celestia" Soarin said as he handed the sun goddess a tissue.
"Thank you Soarin" Celestia said as she took the tissue as dried her eyes. "Forgive me, the memory is just-just a tad bit painful"
"It's alright, I completely understand, it hard losing someone close, take your time." Spike responded sympathetically
*Ahem* Celestia continued as she cleared her throat. "Well, as you know I am not from this world, nor are Spitfire and Soarin'. As well as a few other people that live in this world in a more incognito choice of life. Another one of those people being my protege and your fellow classmate Twilight Sparkle. Whom of which I am assigning to be your teacher to help you control your powers. Bring her in." Celestia said as she motioned toward the door.
Soarin' opened the door and in stepped an all to familiar face.
"Hello Spike, my name is Twilight Sparkle and i'm your new tutor. I look forward to working with you." the teenage schoolgirl smiled as she gestured her hand out to the dragon boy.
"What!?"
