Lightning Seven: Flying Sparks

The forest was silent as both predators stared at each other for what felt like hours.

"You dare attack me, a dragon?! Well, whatever you are, you won't live long enough to try and apologize." Breathing in deeply, the dragon let loose a huge amount of flames at Bone Crunch.

Bone Crunch dodged it with ease, and looked back at the dragon.

"You breathe fire huh?" Bone Crunch asked, "Well....let me make things more even."

After Grimlock had said that, he smashed both his fists to the ground and began to make a changing noise the dragon didn't understand. Grimlock's legs transformed into arms, his arms were now legs and his body was changing before the dragon's eyes. Soon enough, a knights helmet erupted from Bone Crunch's body and roared so loud it made the forest shake.

The dragon couldn't believe what he just saw, the creature had changed into another monster, and this one was even more freighting than the last. It had razor sharp spikes across his body and long arms, its eyes glowed red with hatred and hunger.

Grimlock was now in his robot knight form.

The dragon had wide eyes, until he finally said, "You’re that same stupid dragon from before!"

Bone Crunch shook his head, "I'm not stupid dragon, I'm stupid Primal! Or I mean Primal!"

The dragon rolled his eyes and looked back at Bone Crunch, apparently that was his name because he said it so many times. The dragon eyed him and noticed that he had smoke coming out of his large jaws. He looked down and noticed he was standing in front of the ponies.

"Are you protecting those ponies?!" The dragon asked.

Bone Crunch growled and said, "You not the hurt innocent ponies, I not let you."

Below the beasts, Twilight, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, and Pinkie Pie saw the creature that attacked them suddenly change into something even scarier. It was giant metal two legged guard, and it looked as if it was defending them. The six mares had wide eyes and mouths agape as Bone Crunch growled and moved closer to the dragon. Rainbow Dash on the other hoof was not that surprised since she saw this beast change into the knight before, still she was terrified of this beast.

"Fine, I'll finish you off and then I'll eat my prize." The dragon said as Bone Crunch got closer. The two beasts stared each other down, Bone Crunch was barely smaller than the dragon but he didn't care how big the dragon was. Size didn’t matter to him.

Suddenly, Bone Crunch roared and charged the dragon, the dragon was about to punch Bone Crunch, but it was too late. Bone Crunch rammed the dragon; head first, in the stomach. The dragon was being pushed back by the mighty Primal. They stopped when the dragon hit a mountain side. Bone Crunch reared back and unleashed a torrent of flames from his mouth on the dragon's chest.

The dragon yelled in pain when he realized this beast would not die easily. The dragon brought one hand up and punched Bone Crunch in the side of the head. The flames from Bone Crunch's mouth stopped and he backed up, shaking his head to regain focus.

But the dragon was really mad now; he grabbed Bone Crunch's face with his left hand and held his mouth shut. Bone Crunch struggled to get free. The dragon was suddenly laughing at how easily he just tamed this beast that is until his fingers got caught in the razor sharp jaws.

Bone Crunch bit down with all his strength and the fingers began to break. The dragon was screaming in pain and tried to release his fingers from Bone Crunch's jaw. With one final bite, Bone Crunch ripped two fingers off the left hand of the dragon with his mouth.

The dragon screamed in pain and held his left hand. "AHHHHHH, you little freak of nature!" The dragon yelled.

Bone Crunch turned back, but this time he was lifted up by the dragon. The dragon held Bone Crunch above his head and threw him violently away from him, on the ground. Bone Crunch transformed back into his beast form and landed perfectly. The dragon saw this and glared at the old form of his opponent.

"HA, you are back to your weak form! You cannot stop me now!" The dragon taunted.

Bone Crunch, unfazed by his taunting, slowly brought out his hands and a large red spear emerged. Bone Crunch held his spear with his hands and glared back at the dragon.

The dragon saw this and said, "WHAT?! You have weapons too?!"

Bone Crunch ignored what he said and charged at the dragon, spear raised. The dragon released another fury of flames at Bone Crunch. The mighty robot acted fast and held his left arm in front of him. On cue, a green shield transformed in his left hand and the flames were stopped before they could hit him.

Bone Crunch put his shield away and charged forward to see the dragon rearing down to bite him. Bone Crunch dodged the sharp jaws of the dragon and sliced its nose. The dragon reared up and clutched his bloody snout; he glared down at Bone Crunch who had already gotten too close.

"DIE!!!" The dragon yelled and brought up his foot in an attempt to crush the Dinosaur-bot. Bone Crunch dodged the foot when it came down. He quickly lifted up his spear and brought it down on the dragon's foot. The dragon screeched as his foot was stabbed by this razor sharp sword stuck in it.

"You give up yet." Bone Crunch spoke evilly. "I keep up all day."

"I'LL KILL YOU!!!" The dragon screamed and unleashed more flames from his mouth.

Bone Crunch ripped his spear from the foot of the dragon and dodged the flames barely. Bone Crunch looked at his leg and saw it was scorched badly from the fire. Unfazed by this, he charged forward at the dragon who reared back and unleashed yet another torrent of flames at the mighty robot.

Bone Crunch was done playing.

“So much….rage building!”

Just before the flames covered him, Bone Crunch gained enough rage from this worthless battle he was having and transformed into his godly form. Bone Crunch roared and charged forward at the dragon, ramming him in the gut.

The dragon fell on its back and looked up to see the metal knight bite down on his neck. The dragon immediately lost all the air in his lungs from the force of the bite. With his last bit of strength, the dragon pushed off his enemy and slowly got back up.

Bone Crunch transformed back into his animal mode and picked his spear back up. The dragon clutched his throat and watched in fear as this unknown monster was walking towards him! The dragon backed up in fear and put a hand up.

"Please, no more, I give up! Leave me be!" The dragon pleaded.

Bone Crunch stopped and looked at his spear; he looked back at the pleading creature and came up with the best solution to this entire predicament. "Should've given up before."

The dragon smiled noticing Bone Crunch had let down his guard and breathed in deeply.

The fire struck Bone Crunch before he could react.

The dragon kept the flames going for a few more seconds just wanting to be sure that this thing would be dead. He felt his breath leaving and he stopped the flames from his mouth. The dragon closed his eyes and smiled when he realized he had just won. There was no way any creature could survive that amount of fire on their skin.

He chuckled to himself and prepared to turn around to eat the ponies he had almost forgotten about. He looked down at their terrified faces and licked his lips as he drew nearer. Their expressions were still in a petrified stare as the dragon leaned down and opened his bloody mouth.

Right before he could finish off these ponies, a deep growl was heard behind him.

The dragon slowly turned around and saw the creature with his shield out and not a burn mark on him. He had protected himself at the last second. The dragon backed away from the ponies and stood in fear as Bone Crunch put away his shield and gripped his spear.

The dragon gulped but immediately clutched his throat remembering what that monster had done to it. After a few seconds of scary silence, the dragon screamed, "WHY WON'T YOU DIE?!"

Grimlock growled while looking at his sword and back at the dragon. He answered with his most terrifying voice. "Never give up."

Suddenly, Bone Crunch threw his sword at the dragon; it stuck with a deadly cutting sound into the stomach of the dragon. The dragon coughed up blood and looked to see Bone Crunch charging at him.

Bone Crunch jumped on the dragon and ripped the spear out with a deadly slice. The guts and organs of the dragon came pouring out along with a lot of blood. The dragon screamed in agony and clutched his open stomach. Bone Crunch climbed up onto the dragon's back and soon his head!

The dragon looked up to see Bone Crunch with his sword raised and letting out a deadly battle cry. With one powerful slice, Bone Crunch ripped the dragon's head from his body. Bone Crunch and the head fell to the ground. The large body of the dragon came soon afterwards. After the ground shook a while, all was silent.

Bone Crunch sighed and realized that he had just won. That dragon was one tough opponent, but nothing Bone Crunch couldn’t handle. He looked up and slowly got to his feet. Bone Crunch stuck his spear in the ground and put his foot on the severed head of the dragon. The robot raised his tail in triumph.

"ME BONE CRUNCH KIIIIIIINNNNNNNG!!!!" Bone Crunch yelled to the heavens and pounded his fists against his chest.

"ME BONE CHRUNCH GREATEST WARRIOR!!!!" Bone Crunch yelled.

Bone Crunch felt stupid using his vocabulary, but he didn’t care. Victory was his, as it always should be. Suddenly Bone Crunch remembered something.

He looked over to where the ponies were. They were mentally scarred at the events that just happened. The yellow one had tears flowing and the white one looked as if she was going to throw up.

Bone Crunch took his foot off the dragon head and picked his spear off the ground. The Mane 6 shivered with fear and cuddled closer. But what they thought he was going to do, he didn't.

Bone Crunch's spear reverted back. He took one last look at the ponies and turned around and ran into the forest. Loud footsteps became quieter and soon.....silence.

The equines were scared beyond belief, they slowly got up and walked over towards the clearing into the forest. The creature was gone yet again.

Fluttershy broke the scary silence, "Can we go home now? The monster is gone."

"Bone Crunch..." Twilight said. Her friends looked at her.

"His...his name’s Bone Crunch." Twilight finished.

The other five looked at each other and proceeded to walk onto the trail and out of the Everfree Forest. Twilight followed behind them.

It was a silent walk, and the entire time, Twilight was still confused.

"Bone Crunch just saved us," Twilight whispered to herself, "But...... why?"
