Spike was sitting on a chair in his home when he felt a disturbance, in Equestria he went to the monitors and saw a pony activate a device in Los Pegasus making a earthquake causing damage, Spike then ran outside grabbing a disguise of a black hoody and pants and blasted off to Los Pegasus with a high hypersonic flight.

When Spike arrived he scanned from the sky with his vision saw troubles brewing since the earthquake ponies freaking out, some even robbing stores and carriages thinking it was the end, alot were fighting. Spike looked and saw a stallion on the ground with his leg stuck under a hunk of rubble and another shake made a pole fall, Spike dropped from the sky with a streak and rushing over the street and over the pony Spike caught the lamp with his hands then turned and tossed it in the road then picked the hunk off with a hand and tossed it away with a jerk with his hand and ran in a blur.

The stallion looked and saw the pole and wondering what just happen, Spike ran through the streets and came across a jewelry store somepony trying to rob them when when pulled a rifle at the seller, spike blurred and appeared infront of the seller as the crook fired clenching his fists summoned more strength within him, the bullets left holes in the hoody but flattened and bounced off his scales, then he ran forward and grabbed the rifle taking it out of the pony's hooves grabbed him with a claw turned and threw the pony across the store into a wall, then Spike blurred away.

Spike raced and saw a carriage still off a pony was in it trying to get out but the door was crumbled in, sinking into cracks in the street caused by the earthquake, he then grabbed it by the back as the street gave away planting his feet on the ground stopped the carriage from falling in the hole and picked it up from the hole and placed it on a safer spot on the street. Spike then smelled smoke and blurred away zipping around streets he then stopped 5 blocks away stopping infront of a 5 store building on fire.

Fireponies were trying to put it out "Hurry theirs kids in there on the 5th" one told the other, Spike jumped forward and up grabbing and sinking his claws in the bricks under a window and entered. Spike used his senses to hear and smell, he heard whimpering and ran to it running through flames, turned in a hall and kicked down a door and a wall of flames met him, he just walked through them. Spike went to a closet and opened it and saw two kids in it he grabbed them with his arms used his vision to see and looking down he saw a stallion trapped under a beam on his hindlegs running and moving to a window jumped out of it landed with a thundering crash on the street on his feet cracking the ground, he turned to the fireponies.

"Theres kids that need help and I need help there is a stallion on the third floor" Spike ordered his Captain Drake personality coming through.

"You help the children and you with him" a lead firepony ordered, Spike then ran to the entrance and smashing through the door and zipping up the stairs to the third halls door and broke it down with a shoulder smash and he saw the pony and grabbing the beam and picking it off of him and dropped it on the floor away from him and picked the stallion with an arm and ran out the door and gave the stallion to a firepony.

Then the building started falling apart, then the top of the building starting to sink at a rapid rate and with a frown he caught it with his arms at an L angle and his hands against the ceiling holding the building from falling all the way down.

"Get out" Spike gritted and the fireponies grabbed the stallion and headed out, then one of the buildings wall fell forward and planting his feet on the ground with his knees bent he placed a claw against the wall, holding the ceiling with a hand and against the wall firmly, then Spikes eyes glowed a bright green and pushed harder with his arms the wall and ceiling started to move to the side and up but the strain of Spike's feet against the floor was cracking it.

As the fireponies got out the building fell down with Spike in it, Then the smoking pile of rubble moved and Spike appeared from a section, with not a scratch but his disguise was burnt only singed strings held it together but his purple scales were revealed.

"Captain Drake's alive" a firepony spoke.

"Not Captain Drake, Spike" Spike told him and as soon as one whipped out a camera to take picture, Spike shot up it the sky flapping his wings as the camera flashed.

"A legend has returned" the firepony spoke.

Spike used his vision and other senses to find what was causing this chaos, Spike then found a signal it was coming from a lab in the center of the city so increasing his speed he arrived at the location it was a big antennae with big long braces stuck in the ground Spike narrowed his eyes and crashed through the roof and infront of the pony causing this madness.

"Die!" The pony spat and pulled out a machine pistol and fired it the bullets bounced off the scales and shot forward grabbed the pony's gun by the barrel crushed it and punched the pony in the face making the pony fly across the room and into a wall, out. Spike then jumped out of the hole and bashing into the the base of the antennae and sinking his claws into the dome and lifting with his legs the antennae groaned and strained, then Spike groaned with effort and yanking.

Then his heart rate started beating faster as his heartrate increased from the effort and then his eyes glowed a bright neon green and razor thin slits and let go as Drakezilla growing to 10 feet came out roaring placing his hands on the ground heavily who was on his knees, making it crack slightly and growling he rammed and dug his claws in the metal crunching it like tin foil and lifting with his legs, with his feet cracking the ground from the pressure and pulling with his arms and lifting with his legs the braces uprooted and reeled in then Drakezilla ripped the antennae off the roof with a growl and with a roar sent it flying with a mighty heave making it sail off in the distance and crashed in pieces on the outskirts of Los Pegasus, Drakezilla then roared with victory and flew away.

hours later Spike woke up in the middle of the San Palomino Desert, Spike then flew away and kept flying til he was in Rio, the town of Rio was immense but the air was hot and humid but had mines of gems, he wore a charcoal gray sweatshirt and a jacket over it and jeans with black boots and he wore a watch to keep track of his heart rate on his wrist.

Spike then felt vibrations from the ground and diamond dogs appeared from several holes "Tell us where the mines are and no one gets hurt, we will be here all week" one dog barked at some ponies, Spike then landed infront of them with a glare.

"That is not going to happen" Spike frowned, then the dogs attack but Spike was too fast and too strong, Spike blocked a punch stepped around a dog kicked his legs out and grabbed a leg and turned slammed him into another and kicked another in the face followed by a righthook to the jaw knocking him on the ground, then sidekicked another in the stomach and jumped kneed it in the face and rearkicked the dog in the chest knocking him back, one charged and swung Spike whipped around in a combat stance and caught a fist a hand and flipped the dog over his shoulder, with a flap he swooped to one and uppercutted a dog in the chin knocking him on the ground.

One suckerpunched him in the face, but held his paw as it cracked as it struck the dragons face.

"Seriously you do know a dragon's scales are really thick and tough?" Spike told them, then three pulled out a gauntlet and slipped it a paw and activated it and swung Spike summoned more strength and thrusted a hand at the same time one swung and the gauntlet crumbled and sparked as it struck the dragons hand and then Spike kicked him in the chest sending him 10 feet back into a wall and ducked under a punch and drove a rightcross in one's stomach sending him on the ground 8 feet back.

Then a pony in a cloak dropped infront of two dogs and spoke in a weird languade but Spike studied many different languages so he knew what he was saying.

"beat it mutts" he spoke, the dogs charged and swung but the stallion hit one in the face with a fronthoof and reared on his front hoofs and spun and drove his back hooves in ones stomach sending him back in a wall and jumped uppercutted him with a fronthoof in the face. Spike was impressed and one suckerpunched him in the stomach with a gauntlet sending him on his knees since he dropped his strength from the surprise and hit him in the face sending him through a cart and into a wall, Spike's eyes glowed neon and Spike grabbed a hunk of a cart and threw at the dog sending him through a wall.

Spike's watch's bulb blinked red and he looked at the monitor screen it was 178, Spike then forced himself to be calm and the monitor went down quickly to 140. The stallion walked up to him "Why did you help me?" Spike asked but the pony just looked at him, so Spike tried it again in this areas language.

"Why did you help me?" Spike asked again this time the pony answered.

"I saw your watch thing getting higher and I had a sense something was going to happen if it gets high enough" The pony answered.

"You have good Instincts" Spike replied.

"I think I can help" the pony told him.

"Whats your name?" Spike asked.

"Stix" the pony answered.

"I'm Dracone" Spike replied, holding out a claw and the pony shook it and they left.

In Ponyville

inside Twilight's castle, Princess Twilight was looking over some papers when some news ponies came in.

"Can I help you?" Twilight asked.

"There is something you need to see" a pony spoke.

"What is it?" Twilight asked, a pony placed a article on the table, she levitated it up with her magic and brought it to her and her eyes widened with shock and surprise.

On the article it showed a blurry image of Spike the Dragon on it, the lower and waist was blurry in a streak since Spike was moving so fast but his upperbody and head were visible in a ruined burnt disguise.
