My Little Dragon Z

Spike dodged Scootaloo's punch and retaliated with a knee blow that pushed the Pegasus into a large rock. He quickly used instant transmission and got close enough to cup one hand behind the other and charged his attack. “Masenko!” He thrusted his palms forward and sent the blast at point blank range that caused a large explosion that engulfed Scootaloo and easily decimated the rock.

Spike dropped his arms to his side as he checked the dust cloud to see if she had survived that. He narrowed his eyes and saw a figure in the cloud and quickly dodged to the right as a large energy blast raced past him.

Scootaloo walked out of the cloud with a few more noticeable cracks in her armor, along with her scouter having apparently been destroyed in the blast. She gave Spike a grin that said that this was getting good.

“Impressive. Looks like I’ll have to go all out on you.” replied Scootaloo who crossed her arms across her chest and began to focus her energy until her aura could be seen.

Spike stepped back as he could feel the power level steadily rising. 'This is bad. I've got to finish this and fast.' thought Spike who still had a few more tricks up his sleeve.

Scootaloo let her arms drop to her side as she grinned at him before disappearing from his sight. Spike quickly looked around and noticed a sudden presence to his left and quickly brought up his two gloved claws to block a chop from Scootaloo that had more power in it as he could feel the ground beneath him form into a crater.

'Shining Armor is so gonna chew me out for trying this, but I’ve got no choice.' thought Spike who began to charge his energy up, which began to change into his earlier red color.

Scootaloo noticed this and still kept up with her attack. From her scouter readings, he could only double his power level, and it was only for a short amount of time. Even if he doubled his power, her power level was still stronger and at a whopping 12,000.

Her confident grin soon vanished as Spike grabbed her arm and began to push upward while walking out of the crater. Spike kept a firm grip on her arm and began to swing their bodies around as they began to appear like a tornado of red and orange.

Spike soon let go and let Scootaloo go flying and cupped his two gloved claws together to his side and began to charge a blue energy sphere in the middle of his claws.

Scootaloo crashed into a large tree and winced in pain before she opened her eyes and looked in shock at the attack the dragon was preparing.

“Kaio-ken Kamehameha!” shouted Spike thrusting his hands forward as the large wave of intense energy shot straight towards the Pegasus.

Scootaloo knew she wouldn't be able to dodge the attack with its speed and charged up nearly all her power into her mouth before opening it wide towards the blast and letting her own attack shoot towards it.

Both attacks clashed and both seemed to be even, but only for a second before Spike's pushed it back and made contact with the rock. Causing a large explosion that took out a large area of trees.

Spike let out several gasps as he tried to catch his breath. He had pushed his body beyond what he could do and used all the energy he had left in his body. He fell to his knees and focused on the dust cloud that engulfed the area, trying to see if there was any movement.

He smiled in relief at his supposed win and let gravity take its course and plopped down onto the ground. He felt content to just lay there and rest, but that came to a grounded halt as he heard footsteps coming towards him.

He raised his head up with rough effort, and saw the figure of Scootaloo coming towards him. Her armor was very much damaged to where most of the armor covering her torso was gone. Luckily she had a purple bra covering her chest as she made her way to him.

Spike couldn't do anything at the moment considering his situation and could only watch as Scootaloo stood over him and raised her hand, ready to end him. He closed his eyes and waited for the blow to come. When it didn't, he opened them to see Scootaloo fall to the ground next to him and could hear her trying to catch her breath.

“Lucky....for you......I can't......really......move much.....myself.” replied Scootaloo in between breaths.

Spike could only chuckle at that before it turned into a laugh that got Scootaloo's attention. The Pegasus felt insulted, but couldn't help herself either as she began to join him in laughter.

Soon both of them saw an explosion a few yards away that caused several trees to fall. Spike's eyes widened at where it was. It was where Twilight was.

He propped himself with his arms and could only grunt as he tried to crawl over there.

“What are you doing?” questioned Scootaloo not understanding why the dragon was pushing his body beyond his limits.

“My friend is over there.” grunted Spike who didn't let up and continued his slow pace there.

Shining Armor dodged Rainbow Dash's punch and retaliated with an open palm thrust to her stomach, knocking the air out of her. He continued it up with chop to her side that sent her flying before she righted herself.

“It's time to end this!” exclaimed Rainbow holding her hands to her side while a purple energy orb began to form.

“I couldn't agree more.” Shining Armor cupped his hands together and held them to his side as he began to charge his attack.

“Kamehameha!” Yelled Shining sending the blue energy blast roaring at the Pegasus.

“Galick Gun!” Rainbow sent her purple blast at the unicorn and both of them began to pour more of their energy into their attacks as they both clashed for dominance.

Shining Armor was putting everything he had into it and saw that his attack was starting to win, but he heard a loud scream from before. Looking away for a moment is all Rainbow needed to pour her excess energy into her attack and grinned at seeing her attack get closer to Shining.

Shining Armor turned his head and saw that the Pegasus’s attack was getting too close and quickly dispersed his attack before flying above the blast before it could turn him into ash.

“That sounded like Twilight!” Shining Armor immediately shot straight down into the trees.

“Hey, we haven't finished our fight!” exclaimed Rainbow in frustration at her opponent leaving before a winner could be determined. “Get back here!” Rainbow zoomed down after the unicorn to finish their battle.

Twilight ducked behind a large tree and tried to keep her heart from jumping out of her chest from all the breaths she needed to take. She peered around the side of the trunk and sighed at not seeing the female there.

Just before she could stand up to make a run for it, the tree behind her was virtually decimated as the female stood there with her hand outstretched towards her.

“Ah'm not gonna tell ya again. Hand over the radar, or I blow you to bits.” commanded Applejack already charging up another attack.

“I don't know why you want it so much, but you're not getting this radar. We need this to find the elements of harmony to stop Princess Celestia and Luna!” exclaimed Twilight holding onto the radar tight.

“Fine. You won't give it willingly, I’ll take it by force.” Applejack shot her energy blast at Twilight who jumped to the ground to avoid it and was almost blown to dust as the blast decimated several trees.

“Just why do you want this anyways?” Twilight popped her up from behind the rock she had ducked behind to ask the question.

Applejack lowered her hand and shook her head with dismay. “Fine. I’ll tell ya why. I came here because I could pick up you, your friends, and brothers power level from home. I'm on a quest. A quest to find the elements, and use them to stop Celestia and Luna's dark reign. Now you can either give it to me, or I take my time ripping it out from your hands.” Applejack began to walk towards Twilight which scared the unicorn.

“Leave her alone!” Shining touched down in between the two and got into a ready stance. “You'll get my sister after you go through me.”

“Fine with me.” Applejack shot forward and shocked the two siblings by suddenly disappearing and then reappearing behind Shining Armor. He could only turn his head a few degrees before getting sent flying from Applejack's left boot. He ended up crashing into two trees before stopping.

Twilight's eyes widened in shock at seeing her big brother get hit so fast and easily. Applejack began to make her way towards her and she quickly stuffed the radar in her bag before taking a basic fighting stance.

“You're kidding, right?” Applejack merely gave Twilight a deadpan look before resuming her walk.

“I'm not letting you take our only chance of finding the elements. Without them, all of equestria will be doomed.”

Applejack stopped where she was and sighed before rubbing the bridge of her nose. “Look, I’m gonna be honest with ya. I'd much rather have you give it to me instead of forcing me to fight you all. I was built to fight Celestia and Luna with the elements.”

“Wait, what do you mean by built?” Twilight relaxed her stance for a moment but quickly resumed it.

Applejack sighed again before reaching over to her right hand with her left and grabbed what appeared to be her skin before shocking the unicorn by opening it like it was a lid. She showed her hand to her and the young unicorn could see circuitry and wire in her hand. “Just, what are you?” asked a shocked Twilight.

“I'm an android. I was born like any other filly or colt, but I was added with cybernetic circuitry when I grew up. The reason being was to fight Celestia and Luna when they went plum crazy, and I need the elements to help. I can't find them on my own because my family didn't have the parts needed to build a radar.” finished Applejack closing the hatch on her hand.

“Wait, if you're looking for the elements like we are, why fight us? Wouldn't it make sense to work together?” reasoned Twilight trying to avoid a fight.

“Because, if I tag along with anyone on this journey, they'll be in as much danger as me from Celestia and Luna. It would be better if I do this by myself.” replied Applejack.

“But don't you get it? There are strength in numbers, and I’m confident with you on our team, we can find the elements no problem, and stop the princesses.” Twilight tried to reason again.

“You're trying to make friends with the girl who just tried to blow you up? That makes no sense whatsoever.” replied Applejack.

“Maybe not, but it's pointless to fight each other if we both want the same thing. And that's peace for equestria.” replied Twilight with stern conviction.

Applejack had to give it to the girl. She sure had a way with words. And it did make sense. She just didn't want anyone to get hurt if there was more than one person. If what she read from her sensors, than the girl's brother and the dragon were certainly stronger than most of the people she had met and seen. Maybe teaming up didn't sound so bad.

“Alright, I’ll join your little gang, but I think we first have to get the rest of the group together.” Applejack saw Twilight give her a deadpan look and looked over to the unconscious Shining Armor and just rubbed the back of her head in embarrassment. “Whoops, forgot about him.”

Twilight shook her head and together with help from Applejack, both of them were able to set Shining Armor down on some soft ground that would work for the moment before his injuries were looked at.

“So, you're the one the unicorn had to rush off to fight. You seem tough.” came a cocky voice from above the two of them. Twilight was shocked to see the Pegasus that was fighting her brother while Applejack didn't seem worked up about seeing her.

“The names Rainbow Dash, strongest Pegasus you'll ever meet.” boasted Rainbow pointing to her chest.

“Really.” Applejack didn't look the least bit worried or scared of the Pegasus and merely crossed her arms over her chest.

“Oh, so you don't believe me? Fine, your funeral then.” replied Rainbow landing on the ground and getting ready.

“Don't wine to me when I whoop your ass.” Applejack let her arms hang to her side and stood a few feet from the Pegasus, ready for a battle.

Twilight grabbed her unconscious brother by the shoulders and quickly, but gently began to drag him behind a large boulder to keep him from getting caught in the fight.

While Twilight was busy dragging her brother behind cover for safety from the dangerous battle about to ensue, a pair of crystal blue eyes could be seen peering through the bush.

“My, this is interesting. Wonder what the others will think about this.” came a soothing voice that would cause many men to melt.

The two eyes moved to the right and could see an injured purple dragon crawling towards where the two fighters stood. “Oh my, seems like one of them needs some help.” the voice replied as the figure disappeared into the foliage and toward Spike.
