“What is the meaning of this brothers and sisters? You would side with my son over me.” Shendu stared at the group of demons surrounding him. After he and his son had been banished from earth by Chan, his brothers and sisters had appeared and sided with his son claiming he wasn’t fit to be a demon sorcerer anymore and they could trust him.
“You have brought this on yourself dear brother.” Shendu glared at the sorceress of water as he struggled against the chains they had been him in. “If you had been more trust worthy, we would not be banishing you.”
“Enough talking to our brother Bai Tza, we must cast the spell before he can escape.” Tso Lan’s voice was cold and Shendu roared at him as he pulled at the chains. “We must cast the spell together or it may fail against the Talismans power.” All the demon sorcerers brought their hands together and Shendu focused on his pitiful son Drago.
“I will find a way to return boy and when I do, you will all suffer for your crimes.” Shendu let out another roar as they began to chant.
“Wǒmen fàngzhú nǐ cóng zhège dìfāng cónglái méiyǒu fǎnhuí. Wǒmen fàngzhú nǐ cóng zhège dìfāng cónglái méiyǒu fǎnhuí. Wǒmen fàngzhú nǐ cóng zhège dìfāng cónglái méiyǒu fǎnhuí. Wǒmen fàngzhú nǐ cóng zhège dìfāng cónglái méiyǒu fǎnhuí.” Shendu roared as he felt the chi magic wrap around him. He could feel it reaching into him and felt the talismans flare in response to this intrusion. Shendu started his own chant.
“Wǒ hūyù shìjiè zhī jiān de jùdà hónggōu dùlún wǒ zǒu. Wǒ hūyù shìjiè zhī jiān de jùdà hónggōu dùlún wǒ zǒu. Wǒ hūyù shìjiè zhī jiān de jùdà hónggōu dùlún wǒ zǒu. Wǒ hūyù shìjiè zhī jiān de jùdà hónggōu dùlún wǒ zǒu.”Shendu felt his spell press against his brothers and sisters. He suddenly felt a shift and felt the talismans magic flare and everything went white.
Spike woke up clasping his chest from the dream. The dreams had been happening for weeks now and Spike didn’t know what to think. The dreams were scary, but they were also kind of cool. He shook his head as he got out of his bed and looked around. Twilight wasn’t in her bed, but there was a note sitting on the bed. He reached up and grabbed it.
“Spike, I’m going to help Pinkie Pie with something. Please look after the library when you get up.” Spike crumpled up the note and threw it in the trash. He didn’t mind watching the library though he wished that Twilight had woken him up and told him herself instead of leaving a note.
He walked down the stairs and entered the kitchen. If he was going to watch the library, he might as well have breakfast first. He sat down and poured himself a bowl of cereal and was about to take a bite when a crash was heard from the main part of the library. He sighed as he hopped off the chair and walked into the main area to see Rainbow Dash sitting in the middle of the floor. She looked up at his entrance.
“Oh hey Spike. Do you know where Twilight?” Spike felt his eye twitch as he took in the broken window behind Rainbow. He pointed at the window and Rainbow Dash let out a small. “Yeah, sorry about that, I’m sure Twilight could have that fixed up quickly. Where is she anyway?” Spike let out a sigh.
“She’s apparently helping out Pinkie Pie with something.” Rainbow Dash nodded.
“Thanks Spike, I got to go.” Spike watched as Rainbow Dash took off through the window she had broken when she had arrived. He sighed as he fetched a broom and dust pan and swept up the broken glass. He wish Rainbow Dash would just use the door like everypony else. He perked up as he released that maybe He could go see Rarity if Twilight got back soon.
‘burn’ Spike stopped as he looked around the library. He could have sworn he had heard a voice or something. He shrugged. ‘burn’ Spike looked around. There was that noise again. “Hello is anypony there?” The library was silent as it echoed with Spikes voice. He looked around warily. “I think I should go get Twilight.” He set the Broom down and walked over to the door. He stepped outside the library and was about to close the door when his head exploded in pain.
‘burnburnburnburnburnburnburnBURNBURNBURN’ He clutched at his head as it pounded with pain and he got to his feet and stumbled off in the direction of the Everfree forest. His eyes were clenched shut, but if they were open the ponies he passed on the street would have seen them flickering solid red.
Spike bumped into the trees of the forest as he wondered blindly farther in. What worries he would have had were being drowned out by the intense pain in his skull. It was if something had set his brain on fire. He let out a pained grunt as the pain spiked and he stumbled into a clearing. Spike fell to the ground and curled into a ball as he clutched at his head wishing for the pain to go away. He didn’t notice the flames that started to flicker around his body as the pain increased.
The pain flared and something in his head seemed to give and Spike let out a roar that started off higher pitched, but deepened as the fire that was flickering around him burst into existence as a raging inferno. Spike’s eyes opened as they flickered between green and a glowing red color. His body let out snaps as he slowly grew, the color of his scales changing to green and his stomach a light yellow as his spines seemed to pull into his body. Horns erupted from his face and his eyes stopped flickering as they stopped on a deep red color. The fire stopped and he got to his feet. He stood around twenty feet tall as he looked around the clearing as he let out a deep growl. When he spoke, his voice alternated between a deep voice and a raspy hissy voice.
“Shendu lives once more.”

A plot bunny that just wouldn't leave me alone. This will probably be updated slower then my Harry Potter story and Pokemon one, but it will be updated.
Shendu flexed his claws as he examined the area around him. It wasn’t an area he had explored while his soul was slumbering as that pitiful excuse for a dragon. He can’t believe he had felt any emotion for a pony besides hunger. He frowned as he noticed something off. The talismans were gone. While he wasn’t helpless without them, he liked the insurance they gave him in a fight.
He turned as he heard something in the foliage. He merely watched as a pack of Timberwolves stalked out of the forest and circled him. He found it amusing that they would challenge a dragon while they were made out of wood. Shendu frowned as he noticed something off in the magic that animated them.
“The rat talisman.” Wrapped around the dark magic that made up the core of the Timberwolves were fragments of the magic of the rat. “What madness is this?” His claw lashed out seizing a Timber wolf and he brought it up to his face as he examined. The magic of the rat was definitely intertwined with the magic animating the Timberwolves. It was a part of the magic and yet it seemed to be originating from somewhere else.
Shendu growled as he crushed the wolf he was holding into splinters. He opened his senses to the world and let out a roar of frustration. The magic of the rat was everywhere in the forest. He looked around at the wolves surrounding him and a thought came to him.
“They always did say the Everfree was alive, they just didn’t know how true that was.” He let out a menacing chuckle as he glanced at the wolves around him again. “Be gone foolish mutts, lest I turn you to ash.” They looked at each other and the remains of the wolf he had crushed before taking off into the forest. Shendu looked around before he heard the sound of wings flapping. He looked up and saw the teenage dragons that had picked on him. He grinned as he growled deep in his chest. They always did say payback was a dish best served cold. He turned and stalked back towards Ponyville.
The bearers of the elements of harmony met in the center of town. Twilight was frowning at Pinkie Pie who looked away in embarrassment. She had accidently dumped cake batter on Twilights head. “Sorry Twilight.” Twilight sighed at Pinkie’s downcast look.
“It’s fine, but please don’t try to do it again. I like my mane the way it is.” Pinkie Pie perked up at Twilights words. She was about thank Twilight for forgiving her when three teenage dragons landed from the sky. The girls huddled together as they took in the teenage dragons. The red one stood in front of them and spoke.
“Where is the pony dragon Spike?” Twilight glared at the teenage dragons.
“Why do you want to know?” Twilight’s voice was cautious, but carried undercurrents of anger at the group of dragons. They had mocked Spike for being raised by ponies.
“That’s none of your business pony,” Twilight glared at the teenage dragons.
“Then I don’t see how Spike’s location is any of yours.” The dragons stepped closer to the group and Garble opened his mouth to retort when the ground shook. The dragons and ponies both looked around in confusion as whatever caused the shaking got closer and closer. Ponies ran past them as the two groups turned as one to look in the direction they were running from. A dragon stepped into view as a terrible grin grew on his face.
“I see you.” The dragon strode towards them.
