Prophecies of a Dragon
Chapter V The Greatest Act of Love
Previous ChapterThey stood off at the Giant preparing to attack when the Giant came into range, Rainbowdash charged and punched the Giant in the guts Applejack kicked rocks at the highest velocity possible. Rarity fired beams of magic at the monstrosity; Fluttershy convinced the woodland animals to help them fight it was no longer a forest it was now a battleground.
Spike tried his hardest to conjure up the strongest and hottest flames he could; Pinkie Pie launched volley's of boulders at the Giant. They all fought valiantly, but it looked like it was the end of their journey and their lives. After they had thrown everything they had at the Giant they stopped and heard a booming laugh. "you ponies always make me laugh. The Dragons don't stand a chance if they rely on their pathetic allies to help ba hahaha!"
"We are just getting started giant boy!" Rainbowdash threatened.
"Oh, your head will be mounted on my wall, so I can look at your insulting face and remember how cocky you were!"
"Get him girls and Dragon!" Shouted Applejack.
"No, it is time for me to kill you I have had my fun, and you are annoying, goodbye ponies!"
The giant let out a vicious war cry and swung a large tree trunk like a club right for them Rainbowdash evaded quicker then lightening and countered with a swift kick to the Giants side. Applejack ducked, Fluttershy took flight and the trunk went harmlessly past her, Pinkie Pie jumped back as it came towards her.
Rarity was out of luck though she could not jump high enough or quick enough to avoid the fatal blow. She knew it was over when suddenly Spike jumped towards rarity and pushed her out of the way and instead received the blow to his side. He was sent flying several metres away from the force of the blow, straight into a tree, too weak to get up. Rarity realising what happened sprinted over to Spike, who was lying limp on the forest floor.
"Spike are you okay!" Rarity said extremely worried.
"Rarity before I pass I want you to know that I love you I could not get the courage up to tell you how I felt, I always have loved you. Now I can die with a clean conscious goodbye my-" Spike closed his eyes as he finished saying his last words.
"NO!" Rarity howled in despair.
"You will pay Giant ill make sure you do!" she said her voice dark with hatred and venom.
As she finished her statement, her eyes began to glow bright sky blue with such magnitude that her friends had to shy away, a second later her whole body began to glow. She began to hover from the amount of power that imbued her; she released the surge of power and fired a great beam of sky blue eviscerating half of the forest Giant included.
Rainbowdash opened her eyes after the flash of light had faded to see with amazement that Rarity took on the shape of an alicorn. Rarity began walking towards Spikes limp body eyes still glowing sky blue.
Rainbowdash watched in amazement as Rarity touched Spike with her horn, and a flash of sky blue appeared at the tip of her horn and radiated spike with a blue aura.
Spike gasped as the light vanished from around him as Rarity fainted from the exertion of power she released still in the form of an alicorn.

A patrolling Dragon Guard felt the use of magic a very powerful magic. The Dragon went to investigate the presence of the magic only to find a gaping hole in the center of the Fjord forest with the essence of magic still lingering around the hole. The Guard continued through the forest following the trail of destruction caused by the surge of magic he continued for another 5 hours until finally coming to the source of the surge. To see to his surprise two Pegasi, two Earth ponies and a baby dragon and an Alicorn.
"What are you doing in the Fjord Forest?" the Dragon asked with authority in his voice.
"I'm so glad to see another Pony... well dragon we have become lost in this forsaken forest." replied Rainbowdash.
"WHERES THE NEAREST TOWN? RARITY HAS PAST OUT, AND WE NEED A DOCTOR!" Fluttershy said extremely worried about her friend.
"Okay follow me we will get her some help but after we have I want answers I have not seen you before, this is wartime."
The dragon gently picked up rarity in his talons and flew at a pace that was fast enough to make a lot of ground but slow enough so the five could keep up with him. They eventually made it to Dragnir Village to Doctor Kyran's cottage where he proceeded to treat rarity with the utmost care for the alicorn patient for fear that she may be royalty.
Two days had past and rarity had woken up from her comatose state to find herself in a strange place she was in, but luckily Spike had been sitting there the whole time she was in the coma.
"Your awake I was worried," Spike said lovingly.
"Where am I?" Rarity replied curiously.
"you are in a doctors cottage your safe in Dragnir Village,"
"how did I get here?"
"A patrolling Dragon Guard happened to sense your massive output of Magic, then followed your trail of destruction and found you passed out and all of us looking worse for wear and took us out of the Fjord forest."
"Trail of destruction, what?"
"you don't remember do you; you saved us from the Giant,"
"I DID, HOW!?"
"you became an-"
"Alicorn you were imbued with power after Spike saved you from a fatal blow from the Giant," Applejack cut in.
"You became enraged at Spikes death," Rainbowdash added.
"you revived me after I had said I loved you," Spike commented.
"I remember your last words spiky wiky I feel the same way," Rarity looked lovingly at Spike
"You-you do?"
"Yes, Spike I do."
"I always have I just didn't know you did."
Spike got up and went to Rarity and placed a gentle kiss on her cheek. The doctor entered the room again he was a green dragon with emerald colored eyes and translucent pearl colored talons.
"Good your awake I was worried your majesty," he said with bow
"I'm not royal dear" Rarity replied humbly
"but your an alicorn, aren't all alicorns royalty?"
"in most cases but I'm not an alicorn I'm a unicorn"
"Look again Rarity you have wings" Rainbowdash stated
Rarity lifted her sheets off with her magic to reveal a set of wings.
"how did this happen?" Rarity gave a puzzled look
"when you saved all of us, you became an alicorn after you zapped the Giant," commented Pinkie Pie
"Your awake good now I need my answers, who are you six?" stated the Dragon Guard
"My name is, Rarity" Said Rarity
"My name is, Fluttershy" Said Fluttershy
"My name is, Rainbowdash" Said Rainbowdash
"My name is, Pinkie Pie" Said Pinkie Pie
"My name is, Spike" Said Spike
"My name is, Applejack" Said Applejack
"And we are the Current holders of the elements of harmony" Declared the group
"Elements of harmony?"
"Basically its the power of harmony that looks after Equestria" Rainbowdash answerd
"Equestria?"
"its another world from here,"
"so your telling me you travelled here from another world,"
"yes,"
"I guess it's believable after all Star Swirl can travel through time same way dragons can,"
"anyway, since you aren't enemies your welcome to stay but be careful there is a war going on. My name is Blaze Fury by the way." Blazefury concluded.
After the conversation concluded the six friends and Blaze Fury and the doctor had left the room they set off to the main capital of Ionia, to talk to the Dragon Emporer and find some much-needed answers to where they were and how Spike transported them to this strange place of Dragons and Giants. After a few hours of travelling they finally made it to the main capital.
The group entered the great castle that the Emporer resided in, and bowed before the king who was sitting on his throne going over the battle, plans, war reports, etcetera. He was a huge black dragon with red eyes wearing golden Dragon armour with extremely sharp silver talons.
"what can I help you with my allies is there a war report that you failed to give me?" Asked the Dragon
"No my Lord, we just have a few questions we would like to ask you,"answered Applejack
"What are these queries you wish to ask of me?"
"Firstly where are we?"
"You're in ionia and this is castle Talon and this place is Dragon Bane, why do you ask you should know this?"
"we aren't from here we came from Equestria."
"I have not heard of this place before please explain."
Applejack then explained everything with great detail.
"So this little dragon is a dragon prophet so young he has a great destiny to say such a prophecy. The only thing is that it's not possible for a dragon to teleport anything to an alternate dimension; the only thing I can fathom is that you have been teleported back in time. It is interesting to hear of this baby dragon being able to use such power and how you six managed to defeat a Giant, and how you transformed into an alicorn. I shall watch you with great attention."
Suddenly the castle door burst open with a blue dragon wearing silver armour. "The- Giants- are- attacking- from- the- north- side approaching- from fjord forest," The blue dragon said trying to catch his breath.
"Mobilise the armies we must defend our country,"
Ponies sorry to ask you this but we must request your help. Go to the Canterlot army and tell them to arm up and you better do so also, we are going to need everypony on the front line now go with hast!"
The six of them made it to the Canterlot army camp and spread the alert. As they finished ponies everywhere were donning their armour even the six friends from the future when suddenly Spike belched, a flame and a letter from Twilight came to them. Spike opened the letter and read aloud to them.
"Dear Friends;
I have found out through my research of the riddle that we were foretold about over two thousand years ago. To the point where it even predicted that Celestia transformed me into the Princess of Friendship. As for the current riddle, I think it has to do with you going back in time and being transformed to alicorns, but I am not entirely sure about that detail, but its worth a thought.
Now to my beloved Dashy;
Please, can you write to me I am super worried about you, I'm afraid that you might have been hurt following Spike's prophecy. I want you to come home to me my love I couldn't live without my moon, please be safe I love you Dashy.
Yours sincerely and loyal love;
Twilight"
Spike replied to the letter.
Dear Twilight;
We are safe and well we went back one thousand five hundred years in the past and rarity has become an Alicorn in the midst of the great Dragon Giant war.
We have hailed to the front line, by the request of the Dragon Emporer but don't worry we will return I promise you we won't die here.
Your's faithfully;
Spike.
After Spike had sent the letter they set off with the first wave of troops to the north side of the forest. The first wave made it to the front line and viewed the massive conflict between the Giants and Dragons, they realised they were the reinforcements and the commander shouted "CONTACT!" and the group charged into the fierce fray and there was a vicious clash of metal against metal.
