At Tirek's lair, the centaur was sitting on his throne, until Grogar entered the chamber, "Lord Tirek, I trust you are well?"

"Skip the pleasantries, Grogar, and tell me why you require my attention?"

"Well, you know how it's been difficult to eliminate the Elements of Harmony and the Dragon King vessel?"

"Don't remind me." Tirek brooded.

"Anyway, I have discovered a way to eliminate them once and for all."

"Are you absolutely sure about this?" Tirek squinted his eyes.

"When have I ever failed you, my lord?" Grogar asked.

Tirek didn't respond to his question and spoke, "Show me."

"Well, as you know my field of necromancy has allowed me to not only communicate with the deceased, but to restore them as well. And I have brought back from the dead someone who should have no problem in eliminating them."

"Who do you have in mind?"

"Allow me to show you." Grogar answered, as he started moving his hands in a rhythmic motion, while they glowed black.

Rising up from the floor was a coffin. When it finished emerging, the lid opened up and fell down to reveal the contents.

Tirek looked and saw the contents of the coffin and suddenly became surprised, "It can't be."

"But it is." Grogar smirked.

"Where did you get that?" Tirek asked suspiciously.

"Endless grave robbing, my lord. And it isn't always easy finding the exact remains. So many experiments I've done and many were rejects or failures, but I finally found the right remains. With this soldier under our command none of those girls or that dragon will stand a chance." Grogar smirked.

"I'm pleased with this, Grogar," Tirek smirked, but eyed him suspiciously, "And yet I'm also suspicious."

"Suspicious, my lord?" Grogar wondered.

"Yes. You found the remains of someone stronger than our enemies. I question what you will do with this one when they are defeated." Tirek eyed Grogar trying to make him crack.

"Why have him serve you, my lord." Grogar answered.

Tirek continued to eye Grogar, until he ceased it, "Very well. Proceed with your plan."

"Yes, my lord." Grogar made the coffin with its content disappear, before he left the throne room bearing a smirk which wasn't noticed by Tirek.

Meanwhile at Spike's place, the dragon vessel was laying in bed with Twilight and Applejack who're both in the buff at his sides.

Spike spoke to the two, "Morning, girls."

"Morning, Spike." Twilight greeted.

"Morning, sugarcube." Applejack greeted.

"I trust you two slept well?"

"With you, always." Twilight answered, as she gave him a kiss.

"Same here." Applejack kissed him as well.

"I'll never get bored with this." Spike smiled happily.

Later the three got dressed , and were at the dining room table with the rest of the girls who were eating breakfast. Spike watched as his harem was enjoying their meal, and was especially keeping an eye on his two newest members Lyra and Bonbon.

Three days its been since they moved in, and as before Spike's home had become more lively with the additional house guests.

"So any plans for today, Spike?" Sunset asked their shared lover.

"As it so happens I'm meeting up with Snips, Snails, and Stone at the arcade today."

"You're bringing Snips and Snails someplace with Stone?" Rainbow asked rhetorically.

"Don't those two hate his guts?" Applejack inquired.

"Of course they do. But only when he invades on their personal territory."

"Like the janitor's closet?" Pinkie asked.

"Precisely," Spike answered, before doing a double take, "Wait. How do you know that?"

"Just a hunch." she grinned.

"Well, anyway. We're gonna do a bit of male bonding at the arcade so don't wait up."

"Is that the only thing you're going to be doing?" Twilight eyeballed her soul mate.

"Twilight. Twilight. Why would I need to do anything like what you're thinking of when I got the real thing all around me?" he motioned to the girls who smiled.

"I guess." Twilight decided to take his word for it.

"Well, I better hurry and get going," Spike got up and kissed Twilight before going all around the table to give kisses to the rest of his harem who blushed for the gesture, "Later, girls." he left the place.

Later on outside Gamer Mania Arcade, Spike and Stone arrived seeing Snips and Snails, "Hey, guys!" Spike called.

"Spike!" the two called, as the three friends fist bumped.

"Hey, boys." Stone greeted.

"Stone." Snips and Snails said dryly.

"Come on, guys. We got games to win." Spike said, as they entered the arcade.

As they walked through the place, they saw loads of arcade games ranging from old school to current 21st century games being played by other video game loves.

"It's a gamers paradise." Stone marveled.

"No denying that." Snips answered.

"Where do we start?" Snails wondered.

"Go to whatever game is calling to you." Spike replied.

"My kind of instincts." Stone smirked.

"You follow those instincts too? I thought I was the only one." came a voice.

The four looked over seeing two boys that were Spike, Snips, and Snails ages approach. The first one had eyes colored moderate amaranth to brilliant amber, and hair colored moderate tangelo with a streak of light orange. His attire included black sneakers, brown shorts, a dark orange shirt, and on his head was a propeller beanie.

The second boy was about shorter than Snips, had deep reddish brown eyes, and hair was colored dark tangelo with lighter streaks. He was wearing brown shoes, jeans, and a white shirt with a chest pocket.

"Hiya, fellas." the shorter one greeted with a bit of an accent to his voice.

"Hey, Pipsqueak. Hey, Button Mash." Spike greeted, as he and the boys fist bumped.

"You guys looked surprise to see us." Button said.

"Well, we figured you'd be here Mr. Game Boy." Snails answered.

"It's the only other time you leave your room outside of school, Hikikomori." Snips put in, as Button chuckled sheepishly at their logic.

Spike turned to the short boy being Pipsqueak, "But I half expected Pip to be at home looking over his collection of Vice Principal Luna pictures." he grinned.

Pip blushed at that before speaking back, "Hey, I can't help it that I've been blessed with beautiful tastes in women."

"While I am all for the older type, specifically the young ladies. I like to start smaller with girls only a few years older and not automatically go for a full grown adult." Spike retorted.

"Hey, if you can have seven girls living under the same roof with you, then shouldn't there at least be some hope for me?" Pip asked.

"Absolutely. You should always make sure to have hope that some day luck is on your side."

"I've always had hope, but nothings changed for me." Snips argued.

"Maybe because you aim higher than any of us." Button reminded him.

"Nevertheless," Snips retorted, "And Button, what's up with the hat? Whatr're you, five years old?"

"Hey, this is retro." Button argued.

"Guys, could we just get to the games and poke fun at each other later?" Stone asked.

"He's got a point." Pip agreed.

"Then let's get our quarter bags ready." Snips said, as they went to pick games.

Soon the group were checking out game consoles and playing away. As they each played, Pip spoke up to Spike, "So how is it, Spike? Living with seven girls?"

Spike hearing that thought to himself, 'I can't let them know about Bonbon and Lyra,' he answered, "It's paradise. Having that many women living with me is like an erotic fantasy."

"Lucky. I thought for sure your parents would be making it hard for you to enjoy it. They must really trust you."

"Hah. You'd wish. There are times my mom watches me like a hawk, and would take any chance to humiliate me in front of them by saying things only a mother would say about her son to girls he likes." he said, knowing not to tell them what really goes on in his place.

"Well, you're dealing with it well with them. So kudos.' Button said.

"Thanks, you two. Nice to see some people praise me for my luck and not try to beat the living crap out of me!" Spike eyed Snips and Snails.

The two decided to not dignify Spike's claim with and answer, but continued playing. Suddenly Spike's cell rang which caused him to lose at the fighting game he played resulting in game over.

"Dammit! Spike cursed before answering his phone, "Yes, what is it? Twilight? You really picked a bad time. Wait, what? You're serious? All right, we'll be there," he hung up, "Stone, change in plans. We gotta go."

"Now? But I'm about to reach the high score." Stone complained.

"Come on!"

Stone groaned, "Sorry to bail, you guys."

"What's going on?" Pip asked.

"Something wrong?" Snails wondered.

"Something's come up, and we gotta bail." Spike answered.

"Catch you later." Stone said, as the two headed off.

Outside, the two went into an alley as Stone spoke, "So what's up?"

"Twilight says there's been an attack in Equestria, and we should check it out." Spike explained.

"Ugh. Of all the days." Stone sighed.

"I'm disappointed too, but what choice do we have?" Spike asked.

"So true." Stone said, as he and Spike assumed their alternate forms before flying off.

They returned to Spike's place to see the elements of Harmony waiting for them, "There you are. We were waiting." Twilight said.

"Sorry about that." Spike replied.

"Any idea what threat we're dealing with?" Stone inquired.

"The report was sketchy. Only that it's someone ho uses real dark magic." Twilight explained.

"Think it's Tirek who Sombra warned us about?" Spike wondered.

"Only one way to find out." Twilight said, before opening a portal to Equestria.

"Come on, ya'll. Let's get going." Applejack said, as they entered.

They reappeared in Equestria around a field of wheat, "Where are we?" Fluttershy looked around.

"This was where the attack was reported." Twilight said.

"I don't see any pony around here." Sunset noticed no one was around.

"Maybe it was a false alarm." Rarity suggested.

"Impossible," Twilight replied, "Princess Celestia assured me something was going down."

"Girls, quiet." Spike ordered, as he sniffed the air.

"Spike?" Fluttershy whispered.

"Smell something?" Pinkie asked.

"Girls, we're not alone here." Spike said, as he spun around to a wheat field and spat fire causing something to jump out of it.

"Whoa!" Sunset and Rainbow gasped, as a figure flipped over them.

They saw landing before them was Grogar who smirked, "Nothing can fool a dragon's nose." he smirked.

"A goat man?" Rainbow asked.

"Are you Tirek?" Pinkie asked the villain.

"I'd wish. But no. I am Grogar of Tambelon, master Necromancer."

"Necromancer?" Pinkie asked Twilight, only for Stone to answer.

"One who deals in dark magic, especially concerning the undead."

"Yes. You know your stuff, halfbreed." Grogar chuckled, while Stone kept his cool.

"So I take it you're in cahoots with Tirek?" Spike inquired.

"Indeed I am, Dragon King vessel. You and these girls have stirred a lot of trouble for my master and his allies."

"Not as much trouble as they've caused us." Rainbow retorted.

"Regardless. It is the order of my master that I must eliminate you."

"Well, give us all you got because we're ready for you." Twilight answered, as the group prepared themselves.

"Actually, I will not be your opponent." Grogar answered.

"What?" the girls asked.

"What do you mean by that?" Spike squinted.

"I'm saying, I have someone else to fight in my place."

"That's coward's talk!" Stone called, "Hiding behind others fighting for you!"

"Oh, no. I am not hiding. I just figured you should be defeated by something far more powerful than all of you combined. Or rather 'someone'." he motioned to the wheat field and heard someone approaching.

"Get ready, everyone." Twilight instructed, as they readied to attack on call.

Finally exiting the wheat field was an adult earth pony with long silver hair that goes down his back, pure silver eyes, and was wearing a silver tench coat. On his waist was a sheathed sword. What was odd was this pony looked pale as a ghost, his body looked old a rotting and his silver eyes had a bit of glaze to them.

"Who is that guy?" Pinkie asked.

"Whoever he is, he looks dreadful." Rarity noted his paleness.

"Trench coat?" Spike asked, as they turned to Stone who looked horrified at the opponent.

"Stone?" Sunset asked.

Stone paid no attention to Sunset and spoke to their pale enemy, "Father?"

"Father?!" the girls asked in confusion.

Spike nodded, "Thought so."

The opponent spoke to Stone, "Hello, son. You've really grown."

Stone was in tears before his sadness turned to anger as he shouted at Grogar, "You vile, hideous, asshole goat! You not only defy the deceased by reanimating a corpse, but to do it on my own father?!"

"Why not? He was one of the great swords ponies in history. Perhaps you've heard of him Princess Twilight. Silver Streak?"

Twilight gasped, "Silver Streak. You actually reanimated him?"

"Who is this Silver Streak?" Spike asked Twilight and Stone.

Twilight answered, "Silver Streak was one of Equestria's great swordsponies. His skills with the blade was greater than any one of the time."

"That's right," Stone nodded, "Dad alone was able to slay a hundred demons. He was truly the best."

"Emphasis on was. Because he died!" Grogar mocked while looking at the zombie.

"Because you played dirty, Grogar!" Silver growled.

"What you call dirty I call taking advantage of weakness."

"What's he talking about?" Applejack asked, as Silver answered.

"This necromancer took my wife hostage and used her as a bargaining chip. And because of that he ended both of us."

"Ah, good times." Grogar chuckled, much to Stone's anger.

"Enough!" Stone shouted, "I will make you pay for what you did to my family!"

"You really think so? Then let's match the power of Equestria's greatest swordspony against his own child." Grogar smirked.

"You all have to keep your distance! I can't control my body!" Silver warned everyone.

"Attack!" Grogar ordered, as Silver drew his sword and engaged Stone who drew his own sword.

The two crossed blades and were at a stalemate. Twilight looked at Silver's katana blade that was glowing with a bluish green light, "Amazing. The legendary Calldander."

"Calldander?" Spike asked.

"In Equestria it's one of the great legendary weapons dating back millenia. You might say Calldander is the equivalent of your worlds Excalibur."

"Amazing." Rarity gasped.

"Spike, girls!" Stone called, "I'll handle my dad, you take Grogar!"

"Come one!" Twilight ordered, as the group went for Grogar who attacked using dark magic.

"Now I shall see personally why Tirek finds you all so threatening."

"You'll be quaking when this is over!" Rainbow called, as she launched thunder blasts at Grogar who dodged for the most part.

Pinkie came up from behind and manipulated water and shot some projectiles at him which she converted into icicles. Grogar took the attacks from behind, but quickly shook them off.

Applejack and Spike jumped in and fought him hand to hand with their strength, "Your head just might look good mounted above my fireplace." Spike told the villain.

"Funny, I thought you'd look better as a dragon skin rug." Grogar remarked.

Fluttershy covered her ears, "I don't like the idea of anyone becoming hunting trophy's."

Back with the fight between Stone and Silver, the two broke their sword clash and continued to fight like true swords masters.

"I must admit, Stone. You're quite the sword master now." Silver said.

"Thanks, dad. I did want to live up to your legacy and be the best that I could be."

"So far you've not disappointed me. But remember you must find a way to stop me at all cost."

"And I will!" the two continued to strike at each other with their swords.

While Spike and the girls were dealing with Grogar, the dragon noticed Stone struggling against his father.

"You girls keep Grogar preoccupied. I gotta help Stone!" Spike flew over and blasted Silver with a blast of fire knocking him away.

"Thank, Spike. Though I could still handle myself." Stone replied.

"Well, didn't want you to have all the fun."

"But if I were you I'd go in armor mode."

"Way ahead of you." Spike concentrated and entered his armor mode.

Silver got back up and saw the dragon next to Spike, "And who have we here?"

"I'm Spike Drake of the human world. And I'm also the vessel to the Dragon King Bahamut."

Silver's interest suddenly sparked up, "Are you now? Well, then this should be quite the challenge. I've fought dragons before, but I've never faced the legendary king."

"Well, now's your chance." Spike smirked.

Stone spoke, "Spike, be careful. Don't let that blade of his come into contact with you."

"Don't worry, I won't." Spike replied, as they two engaged Silver.

As they fought, Spike was avoiding Silver's sword, while parrying it with his bladed armor tail. Stone struck with his sword and managed to disarm his father of Calldander.

"Yes!" Spike cheered, as Stone stood ready to strike some more.

"You disarmed me perfectly. But it's not over yet." Silver warned them.

Grogar who had been dealing with the girls saw Silver was surrounded by Spike and Stone without his sword, "Silver, time to go Tempest!"

"Oh, no." Stone gasped in worry.

"Tempest?" Spike asked, until they saw Silver glowing with an aura, along with his sword glowing silver.

Suddenly Silver vanished along with his sword, "Where'd he go?" Spike wondered.

"Spike, get away from here!" Stone ordered, only to get knocked to the ground by a blur.

"Stone!"

"Tempest is a powerful move known to my father and me. Right now my father's moving faster than lightning!"

"That's bad." Spike admitted, as he stood his ground, only to suddenly feel like he was getting smacked around right from left.

"Spike!" Rarity called, as she wanted to help him, but Grogar wasn't letting any of them pass.

Spike groaned, as he thought, 'I gotta go Shining mode.'

'At this rate you can't concentrate enough!' Bahamut warned him.

Suddenly Spike's armor shattered off him returning him to his normal dragon mode. He fell to the ground.

"What happened?" he asked, as he struggled back up.

Silver appeared with hiss word in hand, "The armor of the dragon king is powerful. But if struck enough times not even it can stay together. Not many are capable of moving fast enough to do so."

"I got that." Spike groaned.

"And I'm sorry for what I'm about to do." Silver using Tempest again went forward and struck the side of Spike's torso with his sword.

Spike cried in pain, as Stone and the girls saw this, "NO!" the girls cried, as they ran to Spike.

"Spike, are you ok?" Fluttershy asked.

"Yeah. I'll be fine." Spike groaned, before they saw blood leaking from his wound.

"You're wounded." Applejack gasped.

"Hang on, I'll heal it up." Twilight offered, as she tried using her magic to close the wound.

Silver and Grogar gathered around the group, as Stone and the other girls despite worn out from the fighting were determined to protect Spike.

"Now we shall finish you off for good." Grogar said maliciously, until a bright shining light blinded him and Silver.

When it died down, the two saw their enemies were gone, "WHAT?!" Grogar shouted in outrage.

"They escaped." Silver said in relief.

"I can see they escaped you useless pawn!" Grogar snapped, but calmed down, "No matter. Next time we meet you will finish them all." Silver could only frown wishing he could end Grogar himself.

Back at Spike's home, the girls were patching themselves up with Lyra and Bonbon aiding them, while Stone was getting treated by Octavia. Spike was sitting down with his shirt off, as Twilight was using her magic to try and close up the wound left to him.

Watching them was Celestia who spoke with relief, "You were all very lucky."

"Yeah. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have lasted too much longer." Rainbow admitted.

Pinkie spoke to Stone, "Your dad is seriously hardcore."

"Especially using Tempest." Spike groaned.

"I'm sorry, Spike, but my magic can't heal you more than this." Twilight said, as a scar was left in place of the wound.

"Well, why not Princess Celestia?" Spike suggested.

"Not even mine can truly heal you." Celestia answered with regret.

"And why not?"

Stone answered, "Dad's sword can cut through just about anything, and nothing can be fully healed from it. Your dragon armor may be able to reform, but you're gonna have to live with that scar for the rest of your life."

Spike sighed, "Oh, well. I can always tell others I got my appendix removed." he chuckled hoping to brighten everyone's spirits, but only Pinkie laughed.

"How can we hope to defeat someone like Stone's pa, who's not only a great swordspony but is also a zombie?" Applejack inquired.

"I don't know," Twilight answered, "But I'm gonna find a way to undo what Grogar did and make sure he never tries to violate another corpse."

Celestia nodded, and spoke in a warning tone, "Until the next time he strikes you must all be fully prepared."
