How and Why? Season 2!
Chapter 14: New Experiences
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI already gathered the girls and went back to the library, and Twi told the rest about what's gonna happen. And Spike already said that he wants to find out who he really is. So all we have to do is watch, well, the girls watch from the balloon and I'll be with Spike. He actually asked that I be with him. When I asked why he said that he might need me if anything gets outta hand. So I happily went along with him, after I used my magic to change into a dragon. I basically look like Spike when he was just as tall as me, but replace the green with red and purple with black, and I made the spines more... pointy, like a smaller version of the ones Spike had when he went Godzilla. That enough description? I think so... anyway, Twi informed me that Spike doesn't know that the gang's gonna be following us. And he only knows that I'm coming along with his quest. And here we are, me and Spike heading off to go follow the migration. I've been prepared, even though all I had to do was leave Echo with Pinks again.
"Ya got everything ready Spike?" I look to the girls, they're still at Twi's doorstep, still smiling madly. For Pinks it's perfectly normal.
"Yeah! Lets get going!"
"I'm liking the enthusiasm! Lets get on with it! Farewell ladies!" Me and Spike wave to the gang as we follow the migration out of Ponyville.
"Bye Spike! You better tell us your stories when you get back!"
"Yeah! And stay safe out there!" Since when is Dash so concerned about safety? I think… nah. she never cares about safety, so she must saying that for Twi’s sake. Anyway, when me and Spike are far enough I hear Twi.
“Alright, everypony into the balloon.”
--------->>>>Ten. Hours. Later.<<<<---------
We had to trudge through muddy, rock, and outright horrible weather just to get the fucking ‘hideout’ where apparently dragons closest to Spike’s age hang out. But at least at some point we were able to stop and take a break, I’m saying it like I got tired because Spike wouldn’t stop fucking complaining! You think for a baby dragon he’d have no problem walking through windy forests, blizzards, and a fucking swamp. But no, apparently not. The only reason didn’t die from starvation is because of my having food in my inventory, an infinite supply of food. Anyway, I’m getting off topic. Back to where we meet the ‘teenaged’ dragons. We just got to the top of a mountain they were on. I had to carry Spike on my shoulders for that last bit. When we got to the top a gang of three dragons spotted us, they were laughing to each other about something.
“Well well well. What do we have here?” The one with red scales spoke up. His hide was composed of a red body with orange underbelly and spines, and he looked like he was on the chunky side, and his wings, same color scheme, look a little small; too small to let him fly, fucking magic. Even his voice was deep enough, screams ‘fatso’. Definitely the bronze of the trio.
“It looks like we have some lost dragons in our hands.” The purple one said. He has a purple hide with lavender underbelly and spines. His body kinda matched me in a sense; slightly more scrawny than me, my body would considered ‘bulky’ by human standards, and his wings looked proportionate to his body,l although the webbing was a bit of a dark purple. Probably the brains.
“Whaddya think we should do with ‘em?” A slightly shorter brownish dragon piped up. There was a definite height difference with that one. He a kind of brownish hide with light brown underbelly and spines, his wings having the same color scheme as his body. I think he’s the dumbass that only knows the difference between up and down. I also noted that all their spines look like half circles running down their backs, all the way to their tails. Mine are like the spines Mega Spike had; pointed while at the same time slicked back. I set Spike down when I’m a fair distance from the cliff I just climbed up from. I look at them, the tallest looks to be about my height, if not a little taller.
“Before you do anything you will regret, we’re dragons just like you and he’s just a baby dragon. So lay the fuck off.” Just from they said earlier I can tell that they’re the classic bully from high school.
“Looks like we got we got a tough guy here!” Fatso says rather cockily, he walks closer to me. “You don’t look like a tough guy to me.”
“You’re checking out other male dragons? Are you into males or something?” His friends go ‘OOOOOOH!’.
“You little shit!” He tries to punch me in the face, but I have faster reflexes. Without even flinching I hold up a hand to stop his fist with no effort. He tries to do the same thing with his other fist, I just hold up my other hand and stop his fist cold. He would've tried to use his tail, but I had his in a death grip with mine. “What the fuck!?”
“Still not a tough guy?” I look him dead in the eye. Fiery red eyes against blood red eyes, can ya guess who has the blood red eyes? It’s me, anyway.
“How the fuck are you doing that? What the fuck are you?”
“I am just a simple dragon. And I am the last thing you want to piss off.” I push his him with enough force to send him flying, right into his two friends. It takes the longer than I expected for them to recover. But when they did fatty blew his top.
“I’ll fucking kill you!!” His wings flare, and with one powerful, tiny thrust, a few hundred pounds of meat was sent sailing at me. His jaw hanging wide open, and I still don’t make a fucking move, I just stood still. Waiting for the right moment, it’s when he’s a foot in front of me I make my move. As fast as lightning, I uppercut him square in the jaw. Sending him so far into the air he ends up being the size of a pixel.
“I don’t think we’ll be seeing him again.”
“Streak! Heeelp!” I look at where Spike- The purple one has him in a choke hold. A clawed hand right next to his face. I look at Spike and his face is one of pure horror.
“You're an idiot.” I say as I teleport Spike to my side. My wings flare to make me look more intimidating. I’m guessing it’s working, if the two dragons look of hidden fear say anything.
“What the fuck!?” Purple guy looks at his hands, dumbfounded at what just happened. He then looks at me straight in the eye, his are like Twi’s, If Twi was a dragon. When we make eye contact my eyes glow a thick red. That makes him freeze. “You’re not a dragon...” He says, pure fear in his eyes.
“I may not be a dragon on the inside,” I teleport to right in front of him. “but on the outside, I am the most powerful dragon on this fucking planet.” When I appeared right in front of his face, he flinches. But when I made my last remark he goes wide-eyed, his whole body looking up. “So how about you and your friend there get to fuck out of here?” My voice gained a deeper tone as I spoke, anyone could feel the tension in the air. Purple guy just bolts into the air without saying or doing anything. I look to the little peice of shit looking dragon. “Well? Get the fuck out!” He nods rapidly and bolts off, following his friend. My wings fold back to my… back, and my eyes lose the glowing effect. I look to where Spike’s been standing. Although he has a face of fear, I know it’s not directed at me specifically. “You alright Spike?” I ask as I walk over to him.
“Y-yeah… I’m fine...”
“Ya sure? Ya look a little pale.” I say as I get down to eye level. “Was it because of that dragon having you in a choke hold?” He nods slowly. “Well, as long as ya got me you ain’t got nothing to worry about.” I reassure as I pat him on the head. I stand back up as he looks at me with a smile.
“Thanks Streak.” It looked like he was gonna hug me, but he looked at something behind me and froze.
“Giant dragon behind me?” He nods very slowly. I sigh turn around, it’s the same fucking dragon I dealt with at that fucking cave a while back. “Oh! It’s you! Let me guess; More gold?” I look up to the big guys face as he nods. “How many?”
“Ten.” Holy fucking shit he has a deep rumbling voice. The ground even vibrated when he spoke.
“Alright, gemme a sec.” My body’s engulfed in red fire, it quickly dies out, leaving me in my heavily modified original form. I then open the panel situated on my left arm. It’s been fucking forever since I last opened it huh? Eh… Anyway, I spawn ten crates of gold, the big fucker quickly picks all of it up and flies away. “That was unexpected.” I say as I turn back to Spike. Spike doesn't know it, but a small crowd of dragons, mostly my size, are looking at me in awe. “What? Never seen a pla- robot before?” I nearly said platinum in front of a pack of dragons. Gotta be more fucking careful about that shit. When I spoke the dragons just continued to gawk at me. Spike turned around and saw the crowd and jumped, quickly rushing to my side. "The fuck you all looking at?" The dragons flinch at my words, but remain standing. "What? More challengers?" I say rather cockily. The crowd murmurs, then one muscly looking dragon steps up. His hide is colored a dark grey with a regular grey underbelly. He's a tall motherfucker, a got six feet taller than me, the fucker looks like he would tear me apart if he wanted to.
"What?"
"Yer gonna give me ALL yer gold."
"Or what?"
"Or the little one gets it." He makes a move to grab Spike, but before his hand could even get close I snap my fingers. A force field forms around Spike, I enchanted it with a little surprise. The big guy didn't see it, he didn't stop moving his hand. I didn't care, I was waiting for the light show. And I didn't have to wait long, watching a huge fucking dragon get electrocuted was, hands down, the funniest thing I've ever seen ever. Then his body twist in odd ways as a few thousand volts of raw electricity flows through his very being. I couldn't help but laugh my ass off, for a solid five minutes. If I were still human my side would be hurting, and I'd be crying from all the laughing. What? You don't laugh so hard you tear up? Eh... I can honestly care less, anyway.
"Heh... HOo.. Oh man. Haven't laughed like that in a LONG time." The big guy manages to wrench his hand away from my little surprise. It also took him a few seconds to regain his composure.
“You little piece of shit!” He swipes at me with his large, clawed hand. His hand was easily half my size. But right before he could send me flying, I braced myself and held my hands out. I look like I’m wait to get fucking tackled, anyway. The giant hand hits me, I hold my ground. My feet dig into the ground as my entire being tries to stay standing, I close my eyes to focus. And I’m not sent flying into the air, if the lack of wind and feeling of weightlessness is anything to go by. I slowly open my eyes to see that I did stay firmly on the ground I look at the big grey hand in front of me and pull back. Anyone can see two little spots where my hands were. I loud grunt is heard as the big grey pulls hand back.
“Spike? I think we should go now.” I look to Spike, he quickly nods. “Alright, we’re out.” I say as I kill the shield around Spike. My wings flare and flap once, pushing me into the air. I quickly swoop down and pick up the little drake.
“Woah!”
“Hold on tight Spike.” After that he calms down a little. We spend the next half hour flying in silence, until I broke it. “So… did ya get what you were looking for?”
“Not exactly...” I look down, and Spikes face is a bit crestfallen.
“Sorry Spike. Do you have an idea about how dragons should be like at least?”
“Kinda...”
“Well, it’s better than nothing, isn't it?”
“I… I, guess you’re right!” Anyone can feel the happiness running through Spike. “Thanks Streak, I didn’t think of it like that.”
“Anytime.” We were flying over, I think it was the edge of the Everfree, when we heard loud squawking and screeching. I look around and spot what looks like to be a fire. “IS that what I think it is?” Spike, who was doing… something very distracting looked in the same direction.
“A forest fire?”
“I don’t think so, the fire’s not spreading to the rest of the forest. No, it might be…” That’s when It hit me. *Pheonix eggs! And maybe some dragons… Fuck...* “I think it might be a phoenix or two.”
“Really? How do you know?”
“It’s not that I know, it’s that the fire hasn't spread, it might not even be a forest fire… Wanna go check it out?” I look down to Spike, he shrugs.
“Sure, why not?”
“Alright, hang on.” I say as I bank left and slowly descend to the ground. I land just far enough to see what’s going on, I put Spike back down on the ground. “Stay close to me, alright?” He nods. “Ok, lets see what’s goin’ on.” Me and spike slowly and quietly walk closer to the light source. As we get closer I can hear some voices along with more screeching and squawking. *Fucking knew it.* I think as we get a clear look at what’s happening; Two phoenixes, mother and father, doing their best to guard their chicks. There were three dragons there too, the same fucking dragons from the hilltop earlier. The eggs have already hatched and the parents are doing a good job at defending them from the dragons.
“Hey! Look!” Spike points at the base of tree, the same tree that supported the phoenix nest. There’s an egg that hasn’t hatched yet, a light bulb lights up above my head.
“Spike, I need you to go get that egg.”
“What!? Why!?”
“I think if you get that egg, you’ll finally find what you came looking here looking for.”
“Really?” He looks at me with a bit of trepidation. “You think so?”
“Yup.”
“Ok. if you say so...” He says shakily, he then slowly walks towards the egg, just as he gets to it and pick it up, the dragons come back.
“Hey you!” Spike freezes. “Yeah, you! Turn around!” Spike does so slowly. “Heh, a little baby dragon? How weak!” This dragon was just like the one I probably killed, just a thinner version. At his last remark Spike goes to defensive mode.
“Hey! I’m not a baby dragon! I’m a strong dragon!” I never liked it when kids would try to act tough. And I’m not liking it now…
“>>Oh yeah? Prove it by smashing that egg!”
“What?”
“Yeah! Smash it” Purple guy decided to pipe up.
“Stomp it into the ground!” And there’s Little Shitty! The dragons then chant ‘Smash it!’ over and over again. Spike just looks at the egg, tears forming in his eyes. When the water works are about to start he closes his eyes.
“NO!” The dragons pause from what they just heard.
“What, was that?” Big red seems to already be agitated.
“I said. NO! This little egg’s defensiveness, just like me. And I’m not gonna break it!”
“Then we, will.” The dragons start to surround him.
“Spike!” Twi, Rares and Dash jump from nowhere. Twi and Spike look at each other for a second, then look back at the dragons. “If you want to get to Spike, you’ll have to go through us first!”
*Why is it just them three, where are the others?*
“Yeah!”
“I am not a pony of rough housing, I am a mare of fashion. But I will tear you to pieces if you damage one scale on my SPIKEY WIKEY!!” The dragons look to each other, and laugh their asses off.
“Are these your pony friends?” Big red spits out the last part like a curse word.
“Yes, they are! And they’re better than being friends with you!”
*Who said anything about being friends with those fuckers!?* The dragons go silent as they close in on the ponies and small dragon.
“And what are you gonna do if we just take that egg from you?” I take that as my cue to come into the picture. I teleport behind my friends, between Dash and Rares, having black scales helps a lot when hiding in the darkness, really fucking convenient that a large shadow of a tree was directly behind them. With Big Red looking right at Spike, my eyes glow a thick red for the second time of the day. He and his friends take quick notice as they all look behind my friends.
“What are you looking at?” The short shit brown dragon points at me. Dash, followed by the rest, look behind themselves. And see my blood red eyes, it's understandable that they froze. Spike on the other hand, was relieved to see me again.
"You mind telling me why you're bothering these ponies?" Purple Guy and Shit Head back off, but Big Red his ground. Big mistake indeed.
"Who the fuck are you?" I walk out of the shadows and show myself to everybody. Twi, Rares and Dash step to the side, allowing me to walk straight up to big red. He had to look up at me, fucking perfect. When my whole body appeared in the moonlight Big Red's eye flared a bit. I snicker at his reaction.
"Something you don't want to piss off, fucker."
"Yeah, he's right. We should go Smoke." Purple guy's actually afraid of me, perfect...
"How is that?" I can hear the girls and Spike whispering to each other.
"He's Streak."
"Oooooooh... That's why he got behind us."
"He nearly scared me half to death!" I snort at her remark.
"You guys scared of this pussy?" Big red turned his head to face his friends.
"Dude, I saw this guy punch Scorcher to the sky, he even teleported. You really don't want to mess with him."
"Your friends are right, Smoke."
"You shut the fuck up." That set me off, to the point where red was in the edges of my vision. When Smoke turned back around to continue to talk to his friends, my right hand reached out with lightning fast speed and wrapped around his neck. I raise my arm to lift his flailing body, hanging by the neck. At this point everybody gasped.
"You just made a biiiig mistake." The red fucker punches me repeatedly in vain. I take every single punch like a weak flick. "You two." The other dragons perk up. "Get the fuck out of here." They nod hastily and do just that. "And you," I turn my attention to the chocking red bastard. "Remember me next time you fuck with ponies." I rear my arm back, hand clenching harder around his throat. I don't throw him until I hear a deliciously satisfying series of cracks and pops sound out from his neck. And very slowly his movements slowed down. I throw his body into the air as hard as I can, sending the soon-to-be lifeless body to some random direction. I let out a satisfied shudder. "Oooohohohohohoo... That felt good." I look to the gang, faces of pure fear all around. "Oh, don't worry, he'll be fine." *NOT!* The girls and drake sigh in relief. "Now, lets get home!"
