Ryu took care of the ponies and humans, while Kur was taking care of The three princesses. It's a battle for the lives of others? Who will win? Who will fall? Will the light overcome the darkness? Find out now!

(Que Opening 1 or the Fan Opening)

(The music starts and seven different colored orbs move around the black screen, leaving a glitter path behind them. The orbs moved faster and then, they clash together, and a bright light filled the screen. The light fades, and the title Equestrians Human Spirit is seen. The light shines off the title and gives off an amazing flash at the edge, until the screen changes.)

Standing here with dried-up lips

Being unprotected right below

(The camera moved around a bit until Daniel is seen on an edge of a cliff, with the wind blowing through his hair and clothing. Daniel opens his eyes and looks up at the blue sky.)

the freezing sunlight

(Daniel Smiles and jumps off the edge, opening his wings and flying off in the distance.)

Countless tears are overflowing

Falling as they scrape against my face,

(Spike is seen next, while a few tears flow out of his eyes. Ryu slowly appeared next to him, face turned and he looked at Spike, with Purple eyes glowing, smirking evilly.)

With a shining light so bright

(Then, a light is shown in front of spike, making Ryu disappear, and making the young drake smiled and rush forward to the light.)

I've been searching far and wide for your presence close to me

So I can reach out, and fill my empty heart.

(Daniel is seen again, on the same cliff, looking up at the night sky. He sees his mother and grandfather smiling warmly at him, while Daniel reaches out for them. His family vanishes, making his hand drop, and he lowered his head while tears flowed.)

But when I hold your hand, I'm able to feel the loneliness that's inside of you

(A purple hand takes his hand softly, making him look up and behind him, and sees Twilight, her friends, Spike, Pipsqueak, the four princesses, Shining, and Aurora smiling at him.)

When We're miles apart!

(Daniel smiles as well, and jumps to the camera, unsheathing his sword and slashing the view in white.)

The wish that we held on to, in the middle of our hearts

(The view changes and Tom, Chuck and Will stand on the front, while Two shadow Alicorn beings stood behind them, smirking evilly, while Will frowns a little.)

was torn apart by destiny

(The camera moves and shows Daniel with a determined face, and roars, transforming into his fire form, and charges at the shadow beings.)

And even though you vanished from my life,

(The main six are seen, wearing the Elements of Harmony. Two rainbows shot up and collided and explode.)

I still have the memories

(Spike jumps in the air and fires a fire breath at a Kuro, smirking evilly, and the fire hits him, engulfing the screen.)

that you left behind

(Kasai, Darkus, and twelve other dragons, covered in shadows appear and roar together.)

And right now, I can feel you here…

(Daniel in fire form holds his wrist up, and Kasai's gem appears. He grabs the gem, and plunges it into his chest, and he's engulfed in flames. His mother was on his right, while his Grandfather was on his left, as spirits.)

in me.

(Daniel throws his hands out, covering the screen in white.)

(The screen shows Daniel Landing on the ground, and pulling his sword out, giving it one swing, and smiled, with his friends behind him, smiling as well. The title Equestrians Human Spirit is shown on the Screen then goes black.)

(Opening Ends)

Chapter 48: Ponies vs Dragon(Un-Edited)

Once the girls were near, Ryu blew them away with his darkness.

Pinkie popped out from behind Ryu. No pony could ever predict where she comes from, and Ryu was no different. She pulled out a party cannon from Pinkie knows where, and fired it.

An actual canon ball came out of it instead of confetti and streamers.

Ryu caught the ball, and thrashed it back at the cannon, destroying it. He then rushed to Pinkie Pie and punched her in the stomach. Pinkie was screaming and flying backwards high in the air. She crashed into what was left of Sugarcube Corner.

"Pathetic." Ryu grumbled.

Applejack twirled a rope and lassoed Ryu, restricting his arms to his sides.

"Didn't you learn from last time?" Ryu said, letting the rope tighten around him.

Applejack thought to herself. "If ah can hold down Spike, Twilight can hit him with that spell easily."

Ryu took hold of the rope and pulled. This made Applejack hold the rope in her hands and pull as well.

It was a game of tug-of-war.

Applejack was getting tugged slowly, grazing the dirt below her. He was too strong for her.

Soon enough, he made one big yank, and Applejack came flying towards him. Ryu took hold of Applejack by the neck and kneed her in the stomach.

Rainbow Dash was coming from above. "I don't know about Cloudsdale, but you can't fly so being in the air is an advantage for me!"

"Oh really?" Darkness appeared on Ryu's back, and suddenly the darkness formed dragon wings.

Rainbow was shocked. "What!"

Ryu dropped Applejack and flew up to kick Rainbow Dash in the gut. He then flew above the stunned pony and knocked her down to the surface with his elbow.

It was a hard impact, and it caused a little crater.

"How?! I never heard of a spell like this!" Rarity asked.

"Oh, this is not magic," Ryu said while landing beside the hole the impact created. "These are wings made out of darkness. I can turn them on and off like a light bulb. It's great for strategies, on the ground I don't need them, they are basically in the way, so I turn them off, making me weigh less as well." Ryu said as his wings disappeared in the darkness.

"S-So that's how you were able to get to Cloudsdale," Rainbow said weakly.

"Yeah, it's pretty neat. Too bad. We could have raced." Ryu picked up Rainbow with one claw by the neck and charged a blast in the other.

"Ah won't let ya." Applejack lassoed Ryu's free claw.

"You don't learn." Ryu pulled the rope and reeled Applejack in. He took hold of her as well.

"NO! Stop Spikey!" Rarity screamed as she ran towards Ryu. She fired a magic blast at Ryu through her horn.

Ryu used his tail and gripped the blast with it. He squeezed the magic attack and it burst like a bubble.

"Heh, I didn't know you could fire blasts and beams as well, Rarity. You really can do anything to save your friends." If you were to look at Ryu right now, you would see pure hatred. "Too bad you didn't do anything for me."

Ryu dropped the two ponies he was holding and teleported. He appeared behind Rarity and elbowed her down to the ground, but before she landed on the ground he kicked her away. "Hmm? I wonder what Twilight, Will, Daniel and Fluttershy are doing?"

(Kuro and the princesses)

Kuro raised a dark shield and deleted another magic blast. "Looks like Ryu's having fun over there." He said while chuckling.

"Pay attention to us, we're the ones you're facing," Luna replied.

Kuro just simply laughed.

"Stop all of this Kuro! Those ponies may be fighting for Equestria, but in reality, they are trying to save their closest friend." Celestia begged.

"Hmph, they brought this on themselves. They shouldn't have treated him the way they did. Now then, let's finish what we started."

(Twilgiht)

"Twilight, any day now." Daniel said getting a little antsy on the situation.

"Just... a couple... more minutes." Twilight had a strained face and was sweating because of all the magic she was generating.

(Ryu and the others)

Rainbow was on the ground injured. Applejack was beside Rainbow covering her. Pinkie was nowhere to be seen and Rarity was getting up from the last assault.

"So are we done yet? Come on! I want to play more." Ryu said.

"I'll play with you!" Somepony said in their cheerful voice.

Ryu turned around and saw Pinkie Pie coming from behind with a big cart full of pies and cakes. "Hope you don't mind Applejack, I borrowed some Apple Pies."

"P-Pinkie? Where did you get the cart, and how did you get all of that dessert so fast?" Rarity asked, bedaffled.

"Oh, thanks, Pinkie! I'll be sure to eat that after I'm done here. Is there any gems on those?" Ryu said as a joke.

"Oops, sorry I forgot. Anyways, let's play the game!" Pinkie started to pick up and throw the pies and cakes. The first pie hit Ryu's face and Pinkie started to laugh. Ryu, however, got annoyed and very angry.

He dodged and blocked most of the desserts with his darkness even taking some bites of it, but he was still covered in cake, cream, and icing.

"Oh, looks like you lost! I guess you're pretty mad huh?" Pinkie gave a nervous laugh knowing who Ryu's next target is.

Ryu used his darkness and the dessert vanished.

Ryu vanished into mid air, and re-appeared in front of the party pony.

"Eat this." He blasted a ball of dark energy and she screamed in pain. She flew and landed a few yards away from the girls, making them go wide eyed in shock.

Ryu appeared in front of her and had Pinkie in a head lock. "I'm going to break you," Ryu squeezed Pinkie's neck. "like a chocolate bar."

"Mmmm, I like chocola-" Pinkie squeaked, as Ryu squeezed harder, eyes squinting shut in pain.

Ryu looked over to the others and his eyes widened in shock when he saw that Rainbow was standing up. "She doesn't look damaged at all! But I saw her impact with the ground!”

Ryu was, even more, frustrated. "It even looks like those two are feeling better as well. I'd better fix that." He said darkly.

Ryu gave a quick twist to the head, making a small snapping sound. Ryu dislocated the neck of the party pony a little, unable to move for the moment. Pinkie fell to the ground, unable to continue. She was still breathing.

They all gasped.

"What did you do?!" Rainbow Dash yelled.

"Heh, she's not getting up after that," Ryu said satisfied while smirking.

"You monster!" Rainbow blasted forward and tried to punch him, but he caught her hand again and squeezed hard.

"You're so pathetic." He punched her in the gut again, making her pain double and she landed in front of the girls.

"If you all wish for you lives to be spared, then get on your knees and beg for forgiveness."

"We want your forgiveness, but not from who ya are now, Spike. We want the old Spike back." Applejack said.

"I am the 'old' Spike. I've always been Spike."

Rainbow Dash shook her head. "Not the Spike we know. The Spike we know would never do any of this." Rainbow Dash explained.

"But I am doing this. Right before your eyes. Or are you both blind? Haven't you forgotten to who were the ponies that made me this?"

They growled and charged at him.

Ryu quickly used his tail to grab Rainbow by the neck and held her up. Applejack tried to hit Spike but failed when he dodged and grabbed her by the waist.

Ryu slammed the ponies against one another and then on the ground. They were both in pain.

"Hahahahaha! Look at you guys! Struggling to try to save little old me. Pathetic."

(Kuro and the three princesses)

As Kuro fired a beam at Celestia, who flew to the right to dodge, Cadence noticed the others' situation.

"We have to help her!" Cadence tried to run up to aid the others but was blocked by Kuro's barrier. "Damn you!"

"'No one will interfere', remember? 'Only they can save Spike.'" Kuro started laughing.

Cadence shot a beam at Kuro, but he put a barrier over himself.

(Ryu)

Ryu looked at Fluttershy next.

Flutterhy ran, but Ryu followed her. Them she was cornered.

"You're next. Time I show you that I'm not a baby dragon." Ryu said holding his hand up.

Fluttershy started to whimper under her arms.

Ryu started to laugh. "It's over."

Ryu was about to fire a blast, but then he saw Twilight behind him ready to fire her spell.

Twilight was glowing white. Sparks of what seemed magic encased her horn.

"Oh no! I totally forgot about Twilight!"

Twilight aimed her horn at Ryu and fired the spell. Ryu had nowhere to run, he was in the same corner as Fluttershy.

Ryu stood wide-eyed, lost for words as he got hit with the Original Reset spell.

Daniel took this chance and ran at his brother. he then hugged him tightly, while feeling the effects of the magic.

"Spike…Please come back to us!" He shouted and the two were covered in light.

(In Spikes mind)

Daniel opened his eyes, seeing nothing but darkness around him.

"Spike!? Where are you!?" Daniel called out.

He then saw a small spark of light in the distance. He ran quickl towards it. As he kept running and got close, he gasped and saw Spike.

"SPIKE!"

Spike looked up and saw Daniel, his older brother.

"Daniel?"

Daniel dropped to his knees and hugged his brother.

"Thank god you're okay." He said, relieved he was still here.

"Daniel…what's going on?" Spike asked.

Daniel pulled away. "You're under Kuros control. He's using your anger and hatred to hurt Twilight and the others."

Spike gasped. "No…I didn't want to hurt them. I never wanted to hurt anypony. Dammit! Why did this have to happen!?"

"I know you're upset about this, but I won't let this continue. I'm getting you outta here."

"He's not going anywhere." Daniel turned around and saw Kuro.

"Kuro." Daniel growled.

"That's right. Spike is under my control now. He will do what I say."

"Like Hell he will!" Daniel charged and tried to punch him, but fazed through him.

"Hahahaha! You can't harm me while you're in the dragons body."

"Bastard!" Daniel growled.

"BEGONE!" Kuro held a hand out and pushed Daniel away.

"DANIEL!" Spike shouted.

"SPIKE!"

(Reality)

The light exploded and Daniel was blasted back, and landed near the girls.

"Daniel, are you okay?" Twilight asked.

"I'm fine." he looked at the drake, who was slowly rising.

"Did it work? Is it over?" Rarity aksed.

"No…It's not over yet." Daniel said.

The black aura grew and Ryu looked at the others, smirking evilly.

"I guess it's not gonna be that easy." Will said.

Twilight and the others couldn't believe that the Spell didn't work, and the fact that Ryu is still under control. Neither of the girls had any fight left. they were all drained, or wounded.

"Girls…" The main six looked up at the young warrior who was rising. "You all have done enough. Rest up. I'll finish this."

The group gasped.

"You can't do this on your own!" Will said.

"Listen, the princesses are taking care of Kuro, the girls are wounded and need time to recover, and I'm the only one who has the strength to fight. You can't fight against Spike Will. You'll get killed. I refuse to let anypony die. Just stay with them, and let me handle this." Daniel said.

"But Daniel…" Twilight started. "I don't want to lose you."

Daniel sighed. "I know. Look, even though I'm still angry with you and the others for the way you treated me and Spike, I still don't want any of you to get hurt. You all done well to bring Spike back. now, It's my turn to step in."

Daniel walked forward to the dark drake, who was still smirking.

"Make this easy on yourself Daniel. Let me pass and I'll spare you."

"I know you're still in there Spike. We don't have to do this. Please come back to us." Daniel begged.

"Sorry, but I know who I really am. I became more stronger than ever before." Ryu said looking at his claws.

"Is this what you want? If you kill Twilight and the others, you'll be alone. Everyone will see you as nothing but a demon, a monster. Don't make the same mistake I made."

Ryu laughed. "You don't know the true meaning of Darkness Daniel. Now, I'll tell you again. Move aside."

Daniel sighed and lowered his head. he hoped he never wanted to come to this, but now he must fight his student, his brother.

"I'm sorry Spike, but you leave me no other choice." He then got into his battle stance.

"Heh, this should be fun." Ryu said smirking.

The stage is set.

The fights on.

Brother vs Brother.

Student vs Teacher.

Human vs Dragon.

The two charged at each other. Daniel was in the fight of his life.

Will Daniel be able to Defeat Ryu and bring Spike back? Find out next chapter.
