The Incredible Drake

Clear Description

A few hours have passed and around 12:30, Twilight along with the others were at Applejack's barn about to leave to discover the lair of the creature that attacked Spike which could be possibly in the Everfree Forest. Everypony had their packs and were ready. Well...except Fluttershy.

"Alright. Are we ready?" Twilight asked.

"Uh-huh"

"Okie Dokie"

"I was born ready"

"Um..no"

"Alright. Let's get going." Twilight said. The mares than walked out of the barn and into the forest. As they were walking, Twilight was worried about Spike. She was scared that the creature might attack him while she was away. But she stopped and continued to walk. While Fluttershy was walking, she noticed something and stopped. Rainbow Dash saw her and went back there to check on her.

"Fluttershy, why'd you stop?" Rainbow asked.

"T..th...that." She stuttered in fear as she slowly pointed. Rainbow aligned her eyes with Fluttershy's finger and saw why she was scared. She saw a Manticore. Dead.

"Girls! We've found something!" Rainbow yelled. The girls came over to her and gasped in shock when the saw the corpse of the Apex Predator of the Everfree forest. The Mane Six then walked up to the body.

"M..maybe another Manticore did this." Applejack suggested. Twilight then cast a spell and an aura of purple covered the Manticore's body. When she was done, she began to shake in fear.

"Twilight? What's wrong?" Fluttershy asked.

"This Manticore didn't die from a fight with another Manticore." She replied.Then the five mare's eyes widened in fear.

"T..then what happened to it?" Rainbow asked in a worried voice.

"It was...beaten to death." She struggled to say. Then the mares gasped in horror.

"You're joking right?" Rainbow asked in a scared tone.

"I'm afraid not. According to my analysis, all of it's ribs, it back legs, and it's jaws were broken. Like if something big beat it down. I'm guessing the creature ran into it last night and beat it like an owner with a cat." Twilight explained. Then everypony including Rainbow Dash gave her a worried look.

"If the creature can kill a Manticore, just imagine when it gets it claws on a pony." Pinkie said. Then as Twilight was about to say something, she heard stomping coming from the north of her location and felt slight vibrations.

"Anypony feel that?" Twilight asked in a worried voice.

"I'm afraid we do." Fluttershy said. Then they heard a roaring to familiar to them. Then coming into view was a massive Hydra. It four heads saw the mares and ran their snake-like tongues around their lips.

"Permission to run Twilight?" Pinkie asked.

"Permission granted." She replied. Then the mares ran for their lives as they screamed. As they were running, Fluttershy tripped. Rainbow Dash turned her head and saw one of the Hydra's heads with it's jaws opened heading towards Fluttershy.

"Help!" Fluttershy screamed. The other mares turned and saw their friend about to be eaten.

"No!" The mares screamed.

"GRRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" The mare's turned their heads and so did the Hydra. Then they saw a large creature jump from above the foliage. When it landed and the dust cleared, Twilight was now able to get a clear description of the being from last night. It was nine feet tall, looked about five hundred pounds in pure muscle, had large, green spines running down it's back to the tip of it's tail, large, green ear fins that had the pointed ends, and green toned scales. The Hydra then turned it's attention to the creature and released a cross of a hiss and a roar. The creature roared back through and it spooked the Hydra a little. Fluttershy took her advantage and ran to her friends.

"Is that thing insane? That Hydra is way bigger than him." Applejack said.

"Size doesn't matter in a fight Applejack. Besides, I wanna watch this." Twilight said. The mare's jaws dropped slightly. The match between the Hydra and the creature began with the inner left head ramming the creature with it's jaws open and fangs bared. But the creature stopped it with it's large, clawed hands making it into a dead stop for the head. It threw the head back causing the Hydra to stagger. It then jumped up and drew it's large hand back. Then when outer left head of the Hydra was in his reach, it slammed it's fist into the cheek of the Hydra causing it to bleed and knocking the Hydra on it's scaly back creating a large cloud of dust. The mare's jaws dropped when the saw the raw power of the beast. As the Hydra was getting up, the creature slammed it's fist into the knee of the Hydra making it roar in pain as it collapsed.

"I..it just busted a Hydra's knee." Rainbow said in shock.

"That thing is powerful." Applejack said in amazement. Then as the Hydra cried in pain, the creature grabbed it by the tail and began to spin. It then began to spin faster and faster causing the Hydra to go into the air spinning. Then the creature released the Hydra causing it to fly away and out of sight.

"GRAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The creature roared in victory. It then saw the mares and ran and then jumped away.

"That...was...AWESOME!" Rainbow yelled happily.

"I must agree. A creature with that much power in his body is astonishing." Twilight said.

"Yeah. But it could possibly still be a threat to ponies. So I'd say we'd keep it on the middle between friend and foe." Applejack said.

"But Applejack, it beat a Hydra into submission to save Fluttershy. Isn't that enough evidence for you?" Rainbow asked.

"No. But it was nice of him to do that. So Twilight, what do we do now?" Applejack asked her.

"We follow it." She replied.

"WHAT?!" The mares asked angrily.

"I know it might be suicide, but we need to learn about it." Twilight said. The mares sighed and agreed.

"Alright. Come on." Twilight said in a cheery voice. Then the mare's followed the direction of the creature and hoped that it wasn't an enemy.
