On a sunny Saturday morning, Spike and Ember were in their house watching some television in the living room. Instead of school uniforms they were wearing normal clothes, Spike was wearing a purple hoodie over a green t-shirt, blue jeans and white sneakers, Ember had a short sleeved blue shirt on and baby blue shorts. Though Spike wasn't paying attention to the TV, his mind was on the recent new development in his life.

Hard to believe that just yesterday he learned that not only are six of his classmates including his principals magical pony girls, but that he himself has dragon blood coursing through his veins because apparently he's the descendant of a dragon emperor. From what Principal or rather Princess Celestia told him, he'll have to train in order to control his new abilities. A part of him wondered what kind of training he might have to endure.

"Is something wrong Spike?" Ember asked snapping him out of his thoughts.

"Huh? Oh yeah I'm fine." he said.

Ember didn't look convinced. "Are you sure? You've been dozing off ever since yesterday."' she then looked suspicious. "Did that Rarity girl try anything?"

"No, she just wanted to talk. That's all." he simply answered.

"Really?" she said critically.

"Seriously Ember, nothing special happened-" Spike was cut off by the sound of the doorbell. "I'll get it." he said getting up to answer the door. 'Saved by the bell.' As he opened the door, he was tackled to the floor by a pink blur.

"Hi!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed.

"Pinkie!?" he asked in shock and blushing from the close contact with her chest, Pinkie too was dressed normally, she had on a pink and white striped shirt and pink pants..

"Hey there Spike!" Pinkie said as she hugged him.

"What's going on?" Ember asked. "Who's at the do-" she saw the position they were in. "What is going on!?"

"Ember, uh this Pinkie Pie. Pinkie this is my friend Ember." he introduced.

"Nice to meet you!" she greeted.

Ember paused for a moment. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh right I forgot, Spike Twilight needs you." Pinkie told him.

"For what?"

"You know." she said.

"Spike thought for a moment. "Oh, right. Listen Ember I uh gotta go with her."

"Why?"

"I promised I'd hang with her."

"Oh, well okay."

"See ya, I'll be back later." he told her as he and Pinkie left the house.

Ember was confused for a moment before simply shrugging and went batt to watching TV.

"You know there's a thing called texting or giving me a heads up before barging in my house ." Spike told her.

"Sorry." Pinkie giggled. "But don't tell me you didn't like it."

"Like what?"

"You know." she grasped his head and pulled him close. "Didn't my rack make you excited?" she asked.

"Pinkie we're in public!" he shouted though it did feel nice.

She let him go. "Anyway, Twilight wanted me to get you immediately."

"Is it an emergency?" he asked.

"Nope. Training."

"Training?" he repeated. "So soon?"

"Since you're gonna be fighting monsters with us, you need to learn how to control your powers. So that's why we're gonna whip you into shape." she explained.

"Alright then. So where are we gonna train?"

"We're already here." she said, Spike saw that they were at a track field. Looking ahead he saw the other girls.

Twilight was wearing a plain short sleeved purple shirt that showed and a violet skirt.

Applejack was wearing an orange plaid shirt that was tied up at the bottom showing her abdomen, she wore blue skinny jeans, and as always her Stetson hat.

Rarity was wearing a white blouse and sapphire skirt red heels.

Rainbow Dash had a dark blue jack over a white t-shirt with a rainbow lightning bolt, black hot pants and black fingerless gloves.

Fluttershy had on a green dress, and yellow kneesocks.

Twilight noticed them. "Spike glad you could make it."

"Is this where we'll be training?" he asked.

"Pretty much. " Applejack nodded. "We've been going here when no one else is around."

"But what if someone stops by?"

"Don't worry darling." Rarity assured. "Twilight placed a magical barrier over the area, no one will be able to see us."

"Now then Spike lets get started." Twilight said.

With that Spike's training began.

"Okay pal, first off were gonna see how good you can fly. Grow your wings." Rainbow instructed.

Spike focused and his dragon wings sprouted from his back with a trail of green fire, Rainbow along with Fluttershy also grew their feathered wings.

"Now take off!" she exclaimed, taking to the sky before them.

"She doesn't waste time does she?" he observed.

"You'll get used to it." Fluttershy told him as they both flew after her.

Spike stumbled a little bit as this was the first time he used wings since ever, Rainbow was flying expertly perform impressive tricks while Fluttershy was flying at a steady pace.

Fluttershy looked to him. "Are you doing okay Spike?"

"Gotta say, it might be a while before I get used to this."

"I know how you feel, when I first started out I had trouble too."

"Not me." Rainbow boasted. "Yep when I first started flying there was no trouble at all." she smugly claimed.

"Really?" he said raising an eyebrow.

"Oh yeah, guess things like this come naturally. Especially to me."

Spike thought of an idea. "Okay then if that's true then...try to catch me!" he said flying away from them.

"Hold up Spike." Fluttershy yelled.

"Hmph challenge accepted." Rainbow said chasing after him.

Spike was flying as fast as he could, looking behind he saw Rainbow was catching up to him, he did a few turns and loops to throw her off but despite that she was quickly catching up.

'Looks like I gotta step it up a little.' he thought.

It was obvious that Rainbow Dash was gifted with flying as she said, and her speed was also something Spike needed to think of something unconventional. He started rising high up in the air with her following suit.

"What's he up to?" she asked herself.

When he was high enough Spike caught her by surprise and withdrew his wings allowing him to free-fall.

"Whoo!" he shouted as he fell to the ground.

"Spike!" Fluttershy exclaimed. Rainbow would've swooped in to save him but Spike grew his wings back just as he was about an inch close to the ground.

"How you like that?" he smirked.

"Dude, that was....AWESOME!" Rainbow exclaimed.

"Spike, that was reckless and dangerous." Fluttershy admonished as she held him close making him blush. "You could've gotten hurt, I couldn't bare to see an adorable boy like you be injured."

"You kidding Fluttershy? That was pretty a slick move, I honestly thought I couldn't get to him in time 'til he pulled one last trick." Rainbow complimented. "You and I are gonna get along just fine, big guy." she chuckled slinging her arm over his shoulder pulling him close to her chest.

"Th-Thanks." he blushed.

"Play your cards right, you'll feel more if this." she whispered flirtatiously.

Twilight then appeared to them in a purple flash. "Not bad Spike, you seem to have flying down, though I don't approve of that stunt you pulled, good job nevertheless. Now land and train with Applejack and Pinkie Pie."

Applejack, Pinkie Pie, and Spike were out in the forest.

"Okay, Spike, we'll be seein' how tough ya are." Applejack siad. "Dragons are known for having a lot of strength, same with earth ponies. Let me show ya." she lifted up a nearby boulder easily and threw it to a far distance until t impacted on the ground, shattering it into little pieces.

"Woah." he breathed.

"Now you try sugarcube."

Spike lifted a boulder with ease and then chucked it way out of there, it was thrown so far it quickly looked a dog to them before it was out of sight.

Applejack let out a whistle. "Whoo-ee! Yer stronger than ya look."

"Can barely see it anymore." Spike observed.

"Wonder where it'll land." Pinkie wondered.

A blonde teenager was showing off his new car to a few female classmates, they were fawning all over it. He had snobbish look on his face.

"Wow Nice car, Blueblood!"

"Love the color."

"Oh yes, my auntie has a lot of money in her bank account, since I'm her nephew I use it to purchase this-" he was cut off by a boulder impacting on the car.

"Noooooooo!"

"I'm sure it won't cause too much damage." Spike confidently stated.

"My turn!" Pinkie enthusiastically said, she did a huge jump to a tree. "Try to keep up! Pinkie jumped from tree to tree that would make professional gymnasts jealous. Applejack followed suit.

Spike followed her lead, he was flowing her as fast as he could; he slipped in n few branches but was getting the hang of it. Pinkie and AJ were moving at inhuman agility and was very ahead of him, he did one leap but jumped too high.

"Woah!" he yelled. He would've landed onto a tree hard until he disappeared in a puff of green fire and re-appeared right in front of Applejack making her bump into him and Pinkie who was in front turned around and was also impacted.

"Ugh!" all three of them grunted, they stumbled onto the ground.

"Uhh." Applejack groaned. "Y'all alright?"

"I'm peachy." Pinkie answered. "What about you Spike?" Silence. "Spike?" she asked again, looking down both of them saw that Spike was in between their breasts.

"Mffm!" he muffled.

"Oh there ya are." Applejack said. "Guess we should get off eh Pinkie?"

"You could, but I think he likes it this way." Pinkie smirked teasingly.

"Come on look at him, poor boy's havin' trouble breathin'." Applejack got off of of Spike allowing him to breath, he said as also red in the face.

"Huh huh." he breathed.

"Sorry about that Spike."

"It's alright." he said. "Was kinda on me." He tried getting up but was held back by Pinkie's arms. "Um Pinkie, you can let go now."

"Five more minutes."

"Pinkie." Spike and Applejack groaned.

She reluctantly let go of the boy. "Alright fine."

"How did ya just appeared right in front of me Spike?" Applejack asked him.

"I don't know." he answered. "One minute I nearly crashed into a tree the next I'm in front of you."

Applejack rubbed her chin in thought. "Hey Spike, try imagining yerself on that branch." she gestured to the high up branch.

"Uh okay." he closed his eyes and pictured himself on that branch, right before the girls' eyes he disappeared in a puff of fire and was now on the branch.

"Woah!" he exclaimed in shock. "I can teleport?" He teleported back to them.

"Oooooh." Pinkie marveled.

"I am liking this more and more." he said as he teleported to them.

"Yer doin' great so far, for a youngin'." Applejack observed.

Twilight appeared. "Hmm, teleportation; in that case lets get to training with myself along with Rarity."

Now he was training with Twilight Sparkle and Rarity, with them he'll be learning how to use magic.

"Okay Spike, his will be the final part of your training." Twilight informed. "Dragons possess magic based in one specific element, from what we've seen you seem to be potent in fire magic."

"That would explain the fire breath." he remarked.

"Unicorns along with Alicorns use magic for telekinesis, teleportation, energy blasts, and to cast spells." Rarity chimed. She grew her heron and gestured her hand to a bush. "Observe." Her eyes glowing blue her horn was surrounded by a blue aura the same with her hand, the bush was enveloped the same glow and was lifted from the ground, then she cast a transmutation spell which changed it into a rock.

"Wow, not bad Rarity." he complimented.

"Why thank you darling." she replied.

"Now let's see what you can do.' Twilight said.

Spike focused for a moment, then he saw that his arm was coated in green flames, surprisingly it didn't hurt.

"Cool." he said. For a moment it stayed that way until a long fire whip extended from Spike's palm.

"Impressive" Rarity admitted.

"See how damaging it is." Twilight instructed.

He looked to the huge rock Rarity created, and attacked it with his whip, the rock was cut to pieces.

"Very good Spike.' Twilight complimented.

"You're coming along quite nicely dear." Rarity said, she suddenly wrapped her arms around Spike and held his head to her breasts. "Hard to believe an adorable creature like yourself can cause such damage." she cooed pinching his cheek.

"Uh w-well...uh.." he stammered.

"Aw what's the matter dear?" she asked. " Does me holding you like this make you nervous?" she teased.

"Rarity that's enough." Twilight said sternly. "You're embarrassing him."

"Don't be ridiculous darling." Rarity told her. "Besides little Spike here doesn't mind. Isn't that right?" she asked him.

"Twi has a point Rarity." he said blushing furiously.

"You mean you don't like it?" she said with puppy eyes and a lip quiver.

'Aw man those eyes!' he thought. "It's no that it-' his enhanced sense of smell caught wind of something. "Get down!" he shoved Rarity to the ground just to avoid an arrow made of some weird energy that was meant for her.

"What the?" Twilight asked in shock. The three of them looked to where it came from and saw a shadowy figure on a tree with a bow.

"Sneaky little devil." Spike snarled. "Rarity, you okay?" he asked helping her up.

"I am, thanks to you my little hero." she replied giving him a hug.

Twilight fired a magical blast to the assailant, but he easily dodged the incoming purple beam; he jumped from the branch and landed on the ground where they saw what it looked like. It was humanoid but was made of dark blue energy and had a demonic look on its face.

The others quickly arrived. "We heard the commotion." Rainbow said. "What's goin-" she saw the creature. "Woah, what is that thing?"

"Was about you the same thing." Spike said. "Haven't you six have been fighting mythical creatures since way before I came along?"

"Never seen somethin' like this before." Applejack replied.

"Doesn't matter." Rainbow proclaimed. "There's only one of it and seven of us."

Unfortunately, Rainbow Dash was wrong in that assumption, soon their mysterious new enemy was joined by reinforcements. They emerged from small dark portals and now there was an entire army of these dark beings, each of them had their own weapons; their arsenal included swords, spears, bows, and many others.

"Ya just had ta say it." Applejack said in annoyance.

"Girls! Spike! Get ready!" Twilight ordered, she and the others quickly transformed into their pony and dragon forms. "Attack!" she exclaimed, the Elements Of Harmony and the Dragon halfbreed begun their fight with the army.

Spike sent fire blasts from his hands at one squad, disintegrating them; one was about strike him from behind with its sword but he caught in his hands.

"Nice try." he smirked. With his strength he broke the sword and unleashed his fire breath on it, leaving no remains. "Guess all that training is starting to pay off."

Up above Rainbow Dash was in a dogfight with two of the dark beings who can apparently grow wings. One tried firing an arrow at her which she easily dodged.

"Hah! Missed me losers!" she taunted, using her weather controlling abilities she fired a lightning blast at them. "This is too easy." she smugly claimed.

Fluttershy was also dealing with a couple of them in the sky, one had a mace in hand and would've struck her had she not summoned a cloud witch attacked with a thunder strike.

"Sorry about that." she apologized, it's a known fact that she doesn't like violence.

On the ground Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie were fighting the ground forces, Rarity used telekinesis to carry two of them away, Applejack lifted a chunk of the ground up.

"Take this ya varmints!" she yelled as the country gal threw it at them with all her strength, the projectile knocked a few of them back.

Archers were taking aim at Pinkie, once they fired she dodged the arrows with ease; she somersaulted behind one and kicked it away.

"Na na na na na! You can't hit me!" she taunted, then rasberried at them. "Pfftt!" A shadow loomed over her and saw a huge looking one with a huge hammer. "Eep!" she squeaked. Thankfully before it could bring the hammer down, Spike teleported behind it and punched a hole through its stomach. It let out a scream as it disappeared.

"Never hurt my friends." he stated.

"You called me "friend"! Yay?" Pinkie cheered hugging him.

With Twilight, she was surrounded by a horde of them, to an average girl this would incite fear; bad news for them, Twilight Sparkle was anything but average.

"Wanna know what happens when you mess with an Alicorn?" she asked threateningly. The horse rushed to attack her, her eyes glowing brightly she fired multiple shots to them destroying them. "That."

Despite their best efforts there seemed to be no end to this battle, every time they took multiple beings out, more take their place, the Elements used every battle tactic they had but we're now surrounded by many of them.

"They just keep coming!" Rainbow yelled firing thunder waves.

"At this rate we'll be too exhausted to keep going." Rarity said putting up a shield.

"Then we just gotta make every hit count." Applejack said punching a few away.

"There has to be a way to finish this." Twilight panted, she was sweating from this fight.

Spike was taking down as many of these dark beings the best he could, he used his strength and fire powers to incinerate and smash all of them. He use his fire whip to slash them alone by with his claws, he saw that his friends were being surrounded and the chances of them winning seemed pretty bleak, gritting his teeth Spike continues his attacks.

"We have to end this now!" he growled. He closed his eyes as felt something happening, he then folded his arms across his chest; just then green spikes sprouted from his arms legs, tail, and back. Letting out a roar Spike fired all the spikes from his body. "Raghhh!" They fired off like missles and struck each of the beings, exploding on impact. Soon enough they were all destroyed.

The girls could only look on in shock and amazement.

"Incredible." Twilight whispered.

Spike was panting heavily from using such a powerful attack. "That...takes...care...of...it." he breathed. He withdrew his transformation and collapsed on one knee.

"Spike!" Fluttershy exclaimed in a worried tone, she ran to him and helped him up. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." he replied tiredly. "What about you? Are you girls alright?"

"We are>" Fluttershy smiled. "Thanks to you."

"Spike!" rarity shouted, she give him a big hug. "Oh, you were simply magnificent! You saved us all!" she swooned.

"Ah it was nothing." he sheepishly said.

"It was somethin' sugar." Applejack countered.

"We would've been completely totaled if you didn't fire those Spikes!" Pinkie exclaimed. "They hit them hard and went Boom, Pwah!" she yelled making exploding sounds.

"You did excellent Spike." Twilight said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"Not bad your first fight kid." Rainbow admitted ruffling his hair.

"Well I have your training to thank." he pointed out. "What were those things anyway?"

"To be honest, I have no idea." Twilight said. " I should report this to Princess Celestia."

"Later Twi, because now lets celebrate!" Pinkie cheerfully exclaimed. "Treats are on me."

"I guess a break is in order." Twilight said.

"What are waiting for? Let's go." Spike siad, with that they went off to Sugarcube Corner.

I might just get used to this new role.' Spike thought.
