Chapter 54: The Gem of Dragons(Un-Edited)

A new day rose over the land of Equestria. Most of everything was back to normal. Ponyille, and the rest of the cities and towns Ryu and Kuro destroyed were being repaired and for the better.

It was completely amazing that Spike, my scaly brother, was an Elemental Dragon and was the youngest sibling of the seven. How cool is that? Spike has forgiven the main six for the mistakes they made in the past, and now, Twilight and him have grown closer to one another.

Me on the other hand, I was still thinking over to what I should do. Spike did give the girls another chance…maybe it would be best that I do as well. But, that’s not what’s important right now. What is, is that me and the others are preparing to find the gem that holds the power to find the other dragons hidden in Equestria.

The sun beamed its warmth down on the land, and we were all up and packing. Today was the day that we were all heading out to the temple to find the gem that is needed to find the Elemental dragons hidden in Equestria. I just hope that gem is there.

“Is everypony packed?” I asked the group.

They all nodded their heads, signaling me they were ready to face what lies ahead. I summoned Kasai and we all jumped on.


“We’ll be back Celestia.” I said to the sun princess.


“Stay safe, and protect each other.”

We all nodded and Kasai took to the skies.

“Will the gem be there Tia?” The moon princess asked.

“I hope so. That gem is there only chance to find the others. I just hope nopony got it before they do."

(Que Opening 2)

(The music starts up and fire covered the screen. The fire dims and the title, Equestrians Human Sprit is seen. Water splashes over it, and then lightning electrify it. The title flashes, until light and darkness take each side and covers the screen.)

(The camera moves and Kasai, Darkus, and seven dragons, covered in shadows are seen. A large snake like dragon emerges from behind. The moves in and zooms in on the dragons face. It opens it eyes, revealing a yellow gold color.)

(The screen changes and we see Daniel, Will and Spike, standing behind each other in a green valley, and the camera spins around them. The camera moves to Daniels face and he opens his eyes. The camera moves out and the three burst forward in their direction.)

Dummy! Silly, really what a Shame!

(Daniel is first shown in a red and black background, walking in the front, while different grey shadows of himself walk in opposite directions of him.)

"Only chilling chilling, tick me off!”

(Daniel takes out his sword and swings it. he brings it down and looks up with a serious face, while his shadow forms continue to walk.)

(The scene goes purple, and different opponents are seen in shadows, from a serpent, a Unicorn, a black knight, a large creature, and others moving into view, each with piercing colored eyes.)

In the pain and sorrow

(A shadow figure of a dragon comes to view and its red demonic eyes shine and smirks evilly. The screen is covered in white.)

Soldiers Rise up, here we go

(The scenes changes and Daniel, Will and Spike are seen, standing shoulder to shoulder. They throw their arms out and roared with their heads up, while covered in a pillar of power. Daniels being multiple colors, Spikes purple, and Wills light white and yellow.)

We're gonna keep moving on

(The camera moves in to the faces of the warriors. They lower their faces. Their eyes are dragons now. Daniels multiple colors. Spikes eyes are golden, and Wills are yellow and green on each side.)

Forever is no more Guarantee

(Will throws a hand up, and a pillar of light appeared behind him. the pillar vanishes, revealing a large dragon, covered in shadows, with a warrior next to it.)

Tommorow can be broken no matter what we do

(Daniel throws his arms out again and is covered in a fire, and looks to be covered in armor. Behind him, Kasai appears, but the flames cover him and is seen in shadows, in a new form. the camera moves in to his eye and he opens it, glowing red with fire power.)

I gotta find the light of my heart

(Spike places his right hand over his heart, until he throws his arms out and roars again, and is covered in a yellow light, with his body started changing.)

Keep it away from the dark

(Lights flash and the large snake like dragon appears and roars, with the six elements of Harmony swirling around her.)

I wanna save my dream I believe

(The six elements of Harmony glow brightly, and each one shot a pillar of light, in their color in the air. They spun fast and they exploded in light.)

Maybe I can find my destiny

(Six dragon shadowed figures slowly emerged from below, with their proper elements spinning slowly, while shining brightly. Twilight and the main six stood behind their elements and the dragons, with their hair and cloths flowing.)

All I can do is try, gonna fly, cry no more

(Haos, Darkus and Daniel are shown. Haos on the left, Darkus on the right and Daniel in the center. Haos smiles, Darkus smirks evilly, while Daniel opens his eyes. His eyes were dragons again, while the left eyes was white, and the right was black.)

Because we are TEAM

(The scene changes and Daniel stood in the center, arms crossed while all of his friends stood by his sides, while the wind blew against their hair and clothing. the camera moves up with Kasai, Darkus, and the other dragons behind them. They all raise their heads, storing power. They fired their blast at the camera, covering the screen in white.)

“Z"

(Daniel rose his head and smirked. He took out his sword and gave his a few swings and twirls. He stabbed the floor and he held his fist out. Will and Spike stood beside him smiling. Behind them, were Twilight and the others, with the dragons behind them. The title, Equestrians Humans Spirit stood on top, shining. The screen slowly goes black.)

(Opening Ends)

Kasai flew over the forest, with the wind blowing in our faces. While the others were chatting with one another, I was lost in thought. Last night…I met him.

(Flashback: Dream realm)

I opened my eyes, seeing I was once more standing on the glass surface. Every one of the symbols were here. However, there was one last symbol on the top.

The new symbol was an eight pointed star. The circle in the center was black, the first top points of the star were white while the other four in the back were black, surrounded by a white circle with a black lining.

The symbol glowed, in an unusual aura. It was glowing white, with a mixture of black. Looking up, an orb, mixed of light and darkness was in front of me. I then heard the voice.

“Hope.”

My body was then covered in the black and white aura. The orb glowed brightly and created a portal, which was also black and white. A being stepped out, wearing a cloak, covering his body and face. One side was white while the other was black.

“Hello Meian, the Dragon of light and darkness.” I greeted.

“So you know who I am huh?” He asked. His voice sounded very wise and around in his 30s.

“Yeah,” I nodded, “I already met the other six. You’re the last one.”

Meian nodded. “I see.”

“Are you going to fight me, or just talk?”

“Just talk.”


“What do you want to tell me?”

“I can tell you’re struggling with the balance of light and darkness in your heart. Your light, Haos, has banished your darkness, Darkus to the very depth of your soul.”

I growled. “He brought it upon himself. If he never tried to take over my body, he wouldn’t be in the situation he’s in right now. He’s nothing but a demon who enjoys the pain and suffering. He nearly killed one of my best friends!”

“I understand you’re angry Daniel. Darkness is something that cannot be easily controlled. However, there will be a time where you’ll need Darkus’s power.”

“Like hell that would happen.”

“Darkness and Light exist for a reason. One cannot live without the other. They need to be balanced. It maybe true you can control part of darkus’s power, but can you fully control it?”

My eyebrows furrowed and I looked away.

“Remember that darkness is not all bad young warrior,” Meian approached me, “There are times where darkness is your alley. Light and Darkness are not as they appear. Darkness is not all evil, while Light is not all good. If each cannot be balanced, one part will take control over you.”

“Then what am I supposed to do?” I asked looking at him. “If I release Darkus, he’ll only try to take over my body again. I only have a small portion of my light as well. What if I can’t control Darkus and his power? What if I get swallowed by my light? What if I can’t control both the Light and the Darkness within me?”

“What if there are no more what ifs?” He placed a hand on my shoulder. “I know you’re scared about this Daniel, and I know you are lost to what you believe may come, but remember this, Darkus is apart of you. He is your Darkness, and Haos is your light. Each of them is a part of who you are, and are different sides to your life.”

“What do you mean?”

“You will have to find that part out on your own.” Like the other times, Darkness took hold of me, and I began to sink.

“When you find inner peace with your light and darkness, only then you will learn the true potential of light and darkness, and awaken your true power.” The last words I heard, until I blacked out.

(Flashback End)

Meians words continued to sink into me after he told me about the light and darkness within my heart. Could what he said be true? The darkness within me…felt so amazing…but terrifying. Whenever I felt the darkness flow within me, even if it’s only a small portion of it, I feel exhilarated, alive. I still felt scared though. I nearly let it consume me, when I got angry. How can I control it? Should…should I really free Darkus?

“Daniel,” I was snapped out of my thought and turned to Will, “You okay? You’ve been quiet for most of the trip?”

I shook my head, “Sorry. I’m just lost in thought.” I looked back at the blue sky in front of me. “After what happened the last five days, things have been out of place in my mind.”

“Can’t blame you. Being consumed by you darkness, saving Spike. Shit really hit the fan for us.”

I nodded, and looked at the Fire Dragon, “Kasai, how much further?”

“The Temple should be close. I can feel dragon energy around in the perimeter.” The forest around in the ground thickened. He was right. I also feel the power around in the thick forest. Kasai flew down and brushed against the trees and landed.

“This is as far as I can take you all in the air. We’ll have to find the temple on foot.”

All of us jumped off of him and landed on the ground, collecting our belongings.

“Thanks Kasai. You can head back in and rest.”

The fire dragon shook his head, “No. The journey to the temple will be dangerous. I will continue my aid out here with all of you.”

“Um, how do you plan on,” Will was cut off when Kasai shrunk and was in his human state. “Oh…forgot you can do that.”

We all pressed on, heading deeper into the forest, in hope the temple was there.

“Kasai,” The fire dragon/warrior looked back at his younger brother, “What are my brothers and sisters like?”

The fire warrior chuckled, “By gods, where do I start…well, Chikyū is a little stubborn, and has a solid strong will. He never wishes to appear weak, but he is soft hearted and kind to our kin. Mizu is a sweet dragon and enjoys others company. She will be by others side if anyone needs help. Then there’s Mentaru. She’s also sweet as Mizu.” He chuckles sheepishly, “However though…she has a little perverted side when it comes to love making. Just pray she doesn’t fill your minds will dirty thoughts.”

I felt a shiver down my spine. I can’t believe Mentaru had a little perverted side to her personality. I just pray to god she leaves me alone when I make love to my mares. The others were also shivering by what Kasai said about the Mental dragon.

“Ahem, right. Ummm, what about the others?”

“Ha. Raitoningu is a thrilled young dragon. He’s always full of energy, and has a wild fun side to his personality. He kinda acts likes a teenager from time to time, but he has a powerful heart to always accomplish his goals, which makes him special.”

“From his attitude and the way he fights from when I met him and Kaze, he really is wild.” Kasai chuckled by my statement.

“Speaking of Kaze, he’s pretty free spirited. He enjoys the open space, and loves flying. He feels more at home in the wind and skies.”


“Must be hard when you’re sealed in your own stone.” Spike said feeling bad for the wind dragon. Knowing he was worried for his family, I placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Don’t worry Spike. We’ll find him and the others. I promise.” Spike looked back up at me and smiled. He gazed his eyes back to the fire warrior.

“What about Meian? What’s he like?” Kasai chuckled and happily answered his question.

“Meian was the wisest of all of us combined, but nowhere as wise as our father. He usually keeps us in check when something bad happens between each other.”

“I still can’t get over that Spike is actually one of you.” I said looking at my little dragon brother.

“Yeah, it’s a shocker for me too.” Spike rubbed his head.

Wondering through the forest for a little while, we finally found an open space.

“There’s nothing here.” Twilight said looking around.

“No…look over there.” We all looked at the area Kasai was pointing at. Between two thick trees and covered in vegetation was…

“The temple! We found it!” Spike cheered.

Approaching the covered temple, Spike, Kasai and I felt waves of powerful energy.

“Yes, this is it alright. I can feel a huge amount of power within this place.”

“Yeah, I feel it to.” I said.

“Hey, look at this.” We all turned seeing Spike looking at some weird carvings on the wall.

“What is this?” I asked.

“This is the ancient carvings of the Dova language.” Kasai answered.

“I…can’t understand this.”

“Wait…” Spike squinted his eyes. “It feel like…I can…” He reached out and touched the ancient carving of the language, until they glowed brightly.

“What the!?” Streams of power rushed into Spike, but also myself. It swirled around us and we heard different voices. When the light faded, our eyes turned gold for a second.

“Are you guys okay?” Will asked.

“Y…yeah. I’m alright.” I answered rubbing my head. Jesus, it feel like someone was banging my head with a hammer.

“Wait…” Spike looked at the language again and his eyes widened. “I…I can understand this now.”

“Hey…me too.” I added. It was bizarre that I can understand this language so quickly.

“What does it say?” Twilight asked.

“Let’s see…”

“Vos ven do zul guid hi. Ov sos do dovah kosil hi, uv kos sent wah hin daan./Let the way of the voice guid you. Trust the blood of the dragon within you, or be sent to your doom.”

“What does it mean?” Rainbow asked.

“It seems this is some kind of clue and warning. Still though, I don’t understand what it means, ‘Let the way of the voice guid you.’” I explained.

“Well, let’s worry about that later. Let’s head into the temple and find that gem.” Twilight said.

We all nodded in agreement and entered the temple. It was really dark, and kinda spooky. Cobwebs were everywhere, a few bones and bats.

“Man, this place could use a good clean up.” Will said.

The temple looked pretty big, and it had more of the language imprinted on the walls, and even a few dragon murals.


“Let’s get going!” Rainbow was about to run off, but I quickly grabbed her by the arm.

“What are you doing Daniel? The gem is up ahead.”

“Use your head Rainbow. We’re in a temple right?” I asked.

“Yeah?”

“And there’s a ancient artifact in the center correct?”

“What are you getting at?”

“If there’s a legendary artifact in the temple, that means they’re traps protecting it.”

“…Oh, right.”

“Traps within temples like these are not easy to crack. We better be on our toes.”

We all proceeded to move further into the temple, keeping our eyes and ears open for any traps. The temple became more dense and dark as we moved deeper. Then, we stopped with four paths in front of us.

“Which way?” Will questioned.

I hated to admit it, but his question was as good as mine. They all looked normal, but I had the feeling each of them, except one is not a trap.

“do….vah.” I rubbed the inside of my ear, as I heard the faint sound of something calling. I ignored it, as each of the girls were making suggestions to which path we need to take.

“tin…vok.”

“Uuuuuh.” I was still rubbing my head. These voices were getting on my nerves.

“You here it too, right?” Spike asked, rubbing his head as well.

“Yeah. I can’t get the voices out of my head.”

"Viilut…Ven.”

Wait…Right…path? Of course!

“Guys!” Everypony looked in my direction. “I figured it out!”

“Figured wut out?” AJ asked.

“From the writing on the wall, ‘Let the way of the voice guid you.’ It’s telling us we need to follow the path to what the voices are telling us!” I explained.

“What voices? We don’t hear anything?” Rainbow stated.

“You all may not hear it, but Daniel, Spike and I can, since we are tied to the language.” Kasai explained.

“If that’s the case, which way do we go?” Twilight questioned.


“We go that way.” I answered pointing at the right tunnel.

We all walked down the tunnel. So far, not a single trap was activated. So far so good. I just hope we can get to the end soon. We pressed on, continuing to follow the voices Spike, Kasai and I keep hearing. After a few more tunnels, we stumble across a large room. The tiles were replaced with Pressure plates.

“Look!” Twilight pointed at the end of the room. “That must be it.”

“We made it!” Before Will could pass me, I held an arm out.

“Daniel, what are you doing? The door is over there.”

“Look more closely at the floor.” I pointed out. He looked at the pressure plates, until it hit him.

“The plates must trigger a booby trap.” He stated.

I nodded. “If we want to get to the other side we need to figure out a way to get pass this. Look around for any clues.”

“Why bother? We can just fly?” Rainbow pumped her wings and started to fly across. I saw the walls opening, and I knew what was coming.

“RAINBOW LOOK OUT!” I blasted forward and grabbed her in time, as a storm of arrows rained down and hit the walls. A few almost hit us, but we got out of there in one piece.

I sighed in relief and then glared at her. “Never. Do that. Again.”

She slowly nodded and we both stood.

“Are you guys okay?” Spike asked.

“Yeah, but that was a close call.” I said.

“The temple holds many traps that can make sure you pass through the riddles properly. If trying to use the easy route, death is the penalty.” Kasai explained.

“Don’t you know you could have told us this before we entered?” I asked feeling a sweat drop.

“Nopony asked.” He answered with a dull voice.

We all fell to the ground.

“Anyway,” I picked myself up, “We have to find a way to get passed this trap.” I looked at the pressure plates. On the tiles, each one has a picture. One was a Hydra, another a Wyrm, and the other a dragon.

“Three pics. Each of them are reptiles. What could the answer be to this?” I questioned.

“DO….VAH.” The voice again.

“Do…vah…” I muttered. It meant…’Dragon’. Wait a minute…I then saw a path with the dragons.

“Guys! I figured out the answer!” I called.

“What did you find?” Pinkie asked.


“Look at the pics on the pressure plates.” I pointed out. “Each of them have their own pics, but I know how to cross. We take the path with the Dragon Icons.”

“You sure?” Twilight asked.

“The voices haven’t failed on us so far.” I answered. I stepped forward and looked at the plates. I’ll be honest, I was scared. I just hope my theory is right. If not, I’m a goner. But hey, better to die from arrows than drowning and getting eaten by a shark right?

I held my breath and stepped on the dragon plate.

…

…Nothing.

I exhaled in relief. “Okay. So far, so good.” I hoped from each plate with the dragons. I made sure to keep my balance and not slip. After what felt like forever, I finally made it across in one piece.

“Okay, guys! Come on over! One at a time!” I called form the other side of the room.

One by one, each of them made it to the other side in one piece.

“Everypony good?” I asked.

“Yeah.” They nodded.

We finally pressed on through the tunnel of the temple. There was light at the end, and that’s the hidden chamber that the gem was being held. However, as we got closer, I heard somepony in the room.

“You won’t get away with this!”



“But I already have.”

The voices sounded like a Tombish girl, and a deep, Spanish accent.

“Everypony, get down.” I ordered.

They followed my command and we his behind the door. I slowly moved to take a peek at the door to see the ruckus while Rainbow was doing the same. When she looked, she gasped in shock and her jaw hung agape, seeing the scene before her.

A brownish-yellow pegasus was chained by her wrists, keeping them in the air. Her eyes were Rosy like Rainbows. Even her mane was like Rainbows, except it was black, dark gray and light gray. She was wearing a gray cream colored buttoned shirt, a hat on her head, and matching colored pants. On her elbow was her cutie Mark, which looked like a compass, which was forest green with golden points in each direction.

A creature was before her, surrounded by cats and tigers, even leopardess. It looked like to be some kind of hybrid cat/dog. It wore golden jewelry and the tail had a hand of its own. It was blue with dark cyan fur and a white cyan underbelly.

There were a few ponies in the room as well, seeming to try to get a large red gem out of a pedastal.

“Shoot. We’re too late. Someponies beat us here.” I growled.

“N-N-No way…” Rainbow stuttered, with excitement in her voice.


“Rainbow, what is it?” I asked.

“T-t-that’s Daring Do, and Ahuizotl!” She quietly squealed in a fangirl way.

Daring Do, and Ahuizotl? Wait, you mean the characters from the Daring Do books Pip reads? I never thought they would actually be real, but this is a fantasy world, so anything is possible I suppose.

“Come on! Hurry up!” Ahuizotl snapped at the ponies at the pedastal.


“We’re working on it!” The pegasus snapped back. He took out a rock, sizable like the gem. Quickly and carefully, he removed the gem and replaced it with the rock.

“Got it!”

“Give it to me.” Ahuizotl demanded.

The pony tossed the gem to the hybrid creature, who caught it with his tail hand. He inspect it, watching it glow lightly, and he smirked.

“Hahahaha. Excellent. With this Gem, I will be all powerful! Once I find the dragons, I will be victorious! AAHAHAHAHAHA!” He laughed in victory.

What!? He’s planning to find the Elemental dragons and take over Equestria!? No way! Not on my watch!

I was about to run in there, but Kasai grabbed my wrist, stopping me.

“We can’t blow our cover. We have to wait to for the right moment to strike.” He whispered.

I growled lightly, but held my ground. As much as I hate it, he was right. We have to wait for the right moment.

“Now, time to pay for our end of the agreement.” The pony stated.

“Yes. Yes. Here you go.” Ahuizotl threw a bag at them. The Earth pony walked up to it and grabbed it, and he opened it. He smirked and nodded to his leader.

“Thank you for your business, Ahuizotl.” The Pegasus thanked.


“Yes, yes. Now, I need some concentration to know how this works.” he said looking at the gem.

“While you add it, We wish to gain something else.” The pony added.


“What would that be?” He questioned.

“We want her.” He pointed at the chained mare.

Already, I felt the same bad feeling in my stomach.

“Oh, yes. Do what you wish with her.” Ahuizotl turned back to the gem.

The ponies gathered around the mare.

“You have to stop him! If he finds dragons that will bring harm and destruction, it will be the end of us all!” Daring snapped.

“I could care less. As long as he leaves us alone and we have money, nothing else we care matters.” The pony chuckled.

“You…you monsters!” She hissed at them.

The pony smirked. “You know…I always admired you for your body Ms. Do.” He said as he licked his lips and grabbed her right breast. She closed her eyes and prayed that something, anything would happen.

I knew it! Rapists! Well, I won’t let them! I blasted forward to the ponies.

“Daniel, don’t!” Kasai called, but ignored him.

Daring felt the ponies around her touching her all over. She felt one going up her shirt and then-

WHAM!

She opened her eyes and saw the leader with a foot in his face. She slowly turned her head and saw me with an enraged scowl.

“What the?”

The pony was sent flying.

CRASH!

He bashed into the wall, as I landed in front of her.

“What the hell!” One pony shouted in panic.

Ahuizotl turned and saw me as well.


“What is the meaning of this!?” He demanded.

I ignore him and rested my eyes on the ponies.

“Any of you lay one finger on her again, I’LL FUCKING TEAR YOU TO PIECES!” I roared at the last part at the ponies.

They all flinched by my voice and death sentence. If they wish to rape her, the only thing they’ll get is a horrid beating.

I looked back at Daring who was watching me in slight awe.

“You okay?” I questioned softly.

“W…who are you?” She questioned back.

I smiled softly, and unsheathed my sword. “A friend.” I slashed the chains and cut her loose. She fell to the ground and removed the shackles, rubbing her sore wrists.

Ahuizotl growled. “You will pay dearly for interfering!” He snapped. He took out a cat whistle and blew into it. The cats around him hissed fiercely and charged at me.

I stood calm, waiting for them to get close. Before any of them could pounce on me, fire blasted in front of them and caused them to back up. Kasai and Spike jumped out and stood by my sides.

“You deal with him, you deal with us.” He threatened.

The ponies backed up, while the leader I kicked slowly rose and rubbed his face. He looked at me and growled. “You Bucker! How dare you ruin my moment!”

I looked at him and my eyes went black. “I’ll deal with you, Asshole, and your goons.” I turned to him and got into my battle stance. “Spike, deal with the cats. Kasai, get the gem from Ahuizotl.” I turned to the door. “Twilight, everypony, get Daring out of here and treat any of her wounds!”

They all emerged and helped her up.

“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! Daring do is real!” Rainbow squealed.

“Ask for her autograph later, Rainbow! Get her out of here!” I shouted.

They nodded and took her out of the room.


“Daniel, what do you want me to do!?” Will called.

“Watch the door! Make sure nopony in this room leaves!” I ordered.

He nodded and left, but stood in the front.

(3RD Person)

Daniel and the boys faced off against their proper opponents.

“You think you can defeat me, monkey freak!?” Ahuizotl shouted at Kasai.

“Hand over the Gem and I won’t burn you to the ground.” Kasai threatened.


Ahuizotl growled and charged at the fire warrior. Kasai lazily dodged his attack and threw a fire punch in his stomach, causing the hybrid creature to cough up saliva. He fell to the ground, with a nasty burn on my chest.

He looked up and growled at Kasai.

“Give up?”

“Never!” He got up and charged again.

The cats lunged at the young purple dragons. Spike snorted and stood ready. The cats surrounded Spike and started attacking him from every angle. Spike quickly dodged their attacks and slashed at them with his sharp claws. A leopard lunged and bit on his leg.

Spike hissed in pain, but his scales took most of the attack. He clenched his fists and coated it with lightning with his eyes turning cyan. He punched the cat, sending it flying into the wall. He rose his leg, now coated in fire, eyes red and kicked a Tiger, making it whine in pain and stumble back with a third degree burn on it leg.

With Daniel, One pony charged with a knife in his hand. Blinded by his fury, Daniel was not gonna give them mercy. If one thing, never rape a mare when Daniels around or of he hears about it, or you will know the true meaning of pain. The pony slashed him, but Daniel dodged the attack and punched him hard in the chest, and a kick in the face, sending him back to the goons.

“GRR! Get him!” The leader shouted at his goons.

They all charged with their weapons drawn. All Daniel did was narrow his dark eyes. He did some hand Seals and shouted. “Wind Style: Gale Palm!” He clapped his hands and a gust of wind blasted them off their feet and they all fell.

“What the hell of an attack was that!?” The leader demanded.

Daniel didn’t answer him, but he slowly walked forward

At the door, Twilight and the others were treating Darings wounds.

“I don’t need you all to help me. I’m fine.” Daring said trying to get the others away from her.

“Yeah, uh, ya sure were fine when that stallion was about ta rape ya.” AJ Pointed out.

Daring growled.

“Try to relax please. You’re still in bad condition.” Twilight added.

“I won’t! Ahuizotl is still in there and he has the stone!” Daring Pointed out.

“Don’t worry about that.” Will said, gaining her attention. “Daniel and the others are taking care of it just fine.” Daring looked in the room and saw the young Samurai warrior, dragon and human/dragon warrior kicking their asses.

Kasai kept dodging Ahuizotl’s attacks, with the hybrid dog/cat growling in frustration. He tried a sneak attack with his tail, grabbing Kasai by the leg, but only received a third degree burn.

“AAAAAAH!” He screamed retracted his paw tail, sizzling with smoke.

“Pathetic, trying to use a sneak attack like that. You’re a fool you hybrid freak.” Kasai said.

“What did you call me!?” Ahuizotl roared and charged at the warrior again, but he jumped back and did some hand seals.

“Fire Style: Great Fire Destruction!” He shouted and inhaled deeply and blew out a range of fire at Ahuizotl. The fire blasted the hybrid cat and he screamed in pain, as the fire spread through the edge of the room. Kasai stopped blowing fire and entered the flames, and found Ahuizotl, in severe burns.

“You were a fool to ever face against me. You should have handed over the gem while you were in one piece.” Kasai growled.

Ahuizotl looked up at the fire warrior in a grunt. “W…what are you?”

Kasai narrowed his eyes, glowing red. He picked up the gem and looked at him one last time. “I am Kasai, The Dragon of Fire.”

With Spike, The cats are starting to lose the fight against the purple dragon.

“Is this really the best you cats can do?” He sighed. “How humiliating.”

One Leopard didn’t take the insult lightly and roared and charged. Spikes eyes turned pink. “Mental Blast!” He thrusted his arm out and fired a pink beam of energy, sending the cat back and landing on the ground near its comrades.

“Mental Bindings!” He clenched his fist and bind all of the cats in the area.

“Fools.”

Daniel moved from side to side, dodging every knife and punch that comes his way. One threw a fist down, but he caught it and twisted it, making him scream in pain.

The leader of the ponies rushed forward and punched Daniel in the face, leaving a noticeable bruise. He smirked, but quickly fade when he saw his eyes filled with anger.

“Pathetic.” He did new seals and shouted, “Lightning Style: Lightning Storm Burst!” Lightning pulsed and blasted around him in a small radius. The power shocked them and shocked their nerves, leaving them vulnerable for a few moments. Daniel walked over to the leader and glared at him from above.

“Helping an enemy is one thing that I can’t stand, but planning on Raping a mare is something I don’t tolerate.” He growled with deep venom in his voice.

The leader shook in fear, knowing this human was going to pulverize him. “M-mercy.” He whimpered.

“Oh, I’ll show you mercy, when I crush your balls!” He stomped on his testicles, and from that, the stallion let off the most high piercing girlish scream he ever mustered.

Everypony in the room cringed when he stepped on his balls, even Will covered his groin. “Oo. I felt that one.” He muttered, cringing hard.

“Ooooooh, that’s gotta hurt.” Rainbow cringed.

“He’s gonna feel that one in the morning.” Spike muttered.

Daniel felt satisfied with his work and moved away from the leader, and looked at the others. “Try anything like that to a mare ever again, and I’ll do more than stomp on your groins. Do I make myself clear?” He threatened to the rest.

They rapidly nodded, fearing for the safety of their child makers. He huffed and walked off, leaving the ponies.

Kasai and Spike walked next to him. “Did you get it?” Daniel asked the fire warrior.

Kasai nodded and showed him the gem.


“Nice work, Kasai. Now, we can head back to the castle and see what we can find.” Kasai handed him the gem and he placed it in his pocket.

“Here me fools!” Ahuizotl shouted. “When we meet again, I will have my revenge! And that goes double for you as well! Daring Do!”

“Like we heard that one.” Daniel muttered.

(Daniel POV)

After dealing with those ponies and the goons, we left the chamber and met up with our friends. After we got together, we all left the temple, and headed outside.

“Once more, Daniel, you never see to amaze me.” Will smiled.

I chuckled. “Just doing what I do best.” I turned my attention to Daring, who was watching me. “Are you hurt?”

She just huffs and looks away. “I’m fine.” She gets up, but grunts in pain as she holds her left wing. Blood was seeping and dripping into her feathers.

“Damn. They must have cut my wing when they caught me.” She hisses.

I walked over to her. “Let me heal your wing.”


“What?” She questions and looks into my eyes.

“I have healing abilities, so I can fix your wing without a problem.”

“How do I know you won’t make a move on me like those others tired?” She questioned suspiciously.

My eyes and face hardened with stern. “Raping a mare is the last thing I ever want to do in my existence. I would never try anything like that.”

She just stares at me for the moment, feeling tension between us, but I wasn’t gonna back down. Finally, around a minute, she sighs in defeat.

“Fine, but no funny business.”

I nodded. I focused to her wing. I gently placed my hands on the wound, causing her to gasp.


“Just relax.” I poured my healing Chakra into her wound, letting off a green glow of energy. Daring just watches in amazement, as she felt a cooling and pleasant sensation in her wing.

After her wound closed, I stopped my healing and retreated my hand. “There. That should do it.”

She stretched her wing a bit, and felt no pain

“I would advise you stay on the ground for the day. I may have fixed your wing, but one wrong move could break your wing.” I instructed.

“Fine. I guess you have my thanks.”

“Anytime. Now, a question ponders me. Why are you here?” I questioned.

“I came here to retrieve the gemstone Ahuizotl was after. Apparently, he hired those ponies to set an ambush to capture me. After I retrieve the stone, I would take it to the Equestrian Museum to have it in display, like I would with the other artifacts I collected.” She explains. “Now I have a question. Why are you all here?”

“We came here to get the stone. We have a mission to find the Elemental Dragons. The dragon stone is our best shot to find them.” I explained to her.


Daring scoffs. “Please, the Elemental Dragons are just a ponytale.”

“I assure you, miss Daring, the Elemental Dragons are real.” Kasai said.

“Who are you?” He asked him.

“I am Kasai, the Dragon of fire.” He greets.


“What!? You’re lying!” She shouts.

Kasai shakes his head and glows brightly, shifting to his dragon form.

Darings jaw hung agape, with her eyes bulging out.

“Is this proof enough, miss Do?” The fire dragon questions.

“That’s….that’s impossible.” She stutters in awe. “You…should even exist!” She pointed out.


“Like you’re one to talk. You’re supposed to be a fictional character from a book.” I countered.

“Uh…” She didn’t find anything through my counter and she sighed with a light smile with a light chuckle. “Touche.”

“Now that we have the dragon Stone, let’s head back.” I said to everypony.

The group hopped onto Kasai. I turned to Daring. “What are you gonna do?”

“Ahuizotl will be following me wherever I go. If he ever gets his paws on the gem, it could be a problem.” She explains.

“How about you come with us?” I offered.

Daring grew surprised by my offer. “Why should I come with you and your so called friends?”

“Well one, you seem to know a lot about Equestria, considering you traveled around many parts of the world, according to your books I read. Two, having you around can help us find the gems of the Elemental dragons faster. Three, if you go out there on your own, you may get caught again, and those stallions will rape you, and I won’t be around to stop it.” I explained through.

Daring thought for a moment.

“Hmm…even I hate to admit it, he does have a point. If I can help him find the gems, I’ll have a better chance to stop Ahuizotl from collecting them. Not only that, traveling with them might hold an adventure worth writing for my next book.” She thought.

“Okay, I’ll join your group, but there are a few ground rules.” She said.

“What would they be?” I questioned.

“One, no funny business from you or your other stallion friend. Two, when you find the gems, I expect you give me the dragon stone after this.” She explained.

“The first one, I have no problem with, but the other rule, I’m not sure. You did explain you have collected many artifacts. Are they well protected?”

“Yes, guarded by the best soldiers I hired in the Museum.” She answered.

I nodded and held my hand out. “It’s a deal.”

Daring grabbed my hand and we shook, sealing the deal.

(Time travel: Back at Canterlot)

Our flight back to Canterlot was pretty interesting. daring asked me a few questions, such as what kind of creature I was, since I wasn’t a pony. I answered her that I was a human, and she was shocked but said it was a lie, but I countered her about Kasai and the Elemental dragons being real, instead of being a legend. That got her again.

Rainbow and Twilight couldn’t stop asking Daring questions and so forth, considering they were fans of her work. Rainbow was talking to her more than Twilight was, considering she read all of her books, saying how awesome she is. I chuckled lightly by her fan girl nature. It made her look kinda cute, to be honest.

We returned to Canterlot and entered the Throne room.

“You’re back.” Celestia, Luna, Cadence and Aurora came down to us.

“Did you find it?” Cadence questioned.

I smiled and took out the red gem, presenting it to them. “The legends were true about the gem. We managed to get it back from a group of thieves.”

The princesses smiled. “Excellent work. She turned to Daring. “You must be Daring Do. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”

The adventurous pegasus kneeled and bowed to her. “It’s a huge honor meeting you face to face, your highnesses.

Celestia chuckled. “You may rise, my little pony.” She stood as told. Her rosy eyes locked onto Aurora.

“Who’s she?” She asked.

“This is Aurora. She’s one of our honored guests.” Celestia said.

“it’s a pleasure to meet you, Miss daring.” Aurora held her hand out.

Daring nodded and shook her hand.

“Now, let’s see what this gem can do.” I said looking at it. “Umm…how does this thing work?”

“Try adding some of your blood onto the gem. It will respond to the powers of the dragon within you.” Kasai said standing next to me.

The gem responds to blood? That’s new. but anyway, I bit my thumb and drew a little red liquid.

I smothered the blood onto the gem, and it was immediate. The gem glowed brightly and flew into the center of all of us. Then, a holographic map appeared in front of us all.

Safe to say, all of us were awed.

“Wow.” Spike said in amazement.

“It’s…a map.” Daring said.

“This map is showing us every part of Equestria. It’s even showing on the outside of the other maps we have.” Celestia said.

A red dot appeared on the map, followed by another, and another. A few more popped up and was showing different locations.

“Awesome! It’s showing us where the other dragons are!” I said.

“Now we can find them!” Spike said smiling happily, happy to know he’ll be reunited with his family soon.

“Hold on.” Kasai stepped forward and looked closer at the map.

“What is it Kasai?”

“No…neither of these locations are pointing to my brothers and sisters.”

“What!? How can you know that?” I questioned.

How can it be? The Gem Celestia told us about can find any legendary dragon in equestria.

“I can tell because of the colors of the pin points. If Chikyū was on the map, his pin point would be yellow.” The fire warrior/dragon explained.

“So in other words, these locations have no tracking on either of the dragons?” Will pointed out the question.

“Yes. That is correct.”

“Dammit!” I punched the wall and growled. We were so close! This gem was our only shot to finding the others, and now we can’t. It’s facing unless to us! “Now are we gonna do!?”

Everyone in the room fell silent. From the air calm and quiet, we’re screwed. We don’t know what to do now.

“Wait a minute!”

The sudden burst caused all of us to turn to Daring. “I believe I might know a solution to finding the others with the stone!”

“What did you figure out?” Luna asked.

“During my travels in Equestria, I heard about a legend in a kingdom far off in the ocean. It’s known as the Dragon Kingdom.”

“The Dragon Kingdom?” I questioned.

“Far different than the Dragon Lands I visited a while back. The dragons there are civilized like we are. They may not take liking to others in their kingdom, but I believe the kingdom might hold the answer to our problem."

“Explain to us.” Spike said, wanting to know more.

“From what I read and heard from the Kingdom, there’s a huge door laying below. The door is properly sealed, and cannot be opened, unless seven colored Gems are found. Many called the door by many names, but it’s most popular, is known as The-Thousand-Moon-Door.”

“The-Thousand-Moon-Door?” We all questioned.

“Legends say the door hold legendary and incredible treasure, beyond anyponys imagination.”

“Treasure!?” Rarity shrieked, with her eyes glittering. All of us sweat dropped. One thing Rarity loves in her life, is jewels and treasure.

“As I was saying, If I think about, the seven gems needed to open the door, are probably the Elemental dragon gems. I also read that theres a specific dragon stone that is needed to find the stones. When, the seven gem are collected, hold up the Dragon stone before the Thousand-Moon-Door, then the gems will light the way that leads to the stones of yesterday.” Daring finished.

“So what you’re saying, is we need to get to this door, and hold up the stone, and it will guide us to the next Gem hidden in Equestria?” Will asked.

“I believe so. If the door actually exist that is.” Daring reminded.

“Legend or not, we need to get to the dragon kingdom. If the Thousand-Moon-Door exist, then it’s our last shot to find the other dragons.” I pointed out.

“I agree.” Spike stepped in.

“But…w-w-won’t the dragons, well…h-hurt us for coming into their k-kingdom?” Fluttershy weakly pointed out.

“I hate to admit, but Fluttershy is right.” Twilight stepped in. “Other than Spike and Kasai, dragons are not east to get along with.”

“That maybe, Twilight, but I have a solution to fix this problem.” Celestia said.

“You have a way for us to get to the kingdom?” I asked.

“Yes. During our parents ruling, we would usually visit the dragon kingdom. Our Parents are friends with the dragons there.” Luna explained.

“But that was thousands of years ago. Nopony will remember any of you.” I pointed out.

“Actually Daniel, Dragons can live for long periods of time.” Cadence but in. “I also visited the kingdom with Celestia’s family, and I made a few friends with the dragons.”

“If I remember, there should be one that might give us a hand. His name is Scales, If I remember correctly.” Celestia added.

“If he’s still living in the dragon kingdom, we might have a chance fir you all to enter without problems.” Luna said.

“Then we need to get contact with him ASAP.” I said.

The three princesses nodded.

“While we get into contact Scales, it would be best you all prepare. This journey to the dragon kingdom and finding the gems will be dangerous.” Celestia said.

”Contacting him should take around a week, so that should give you all enough time to prepare yourselves.” Luna said.

“That should be plenty of time for us.” Kasai said. “I also need to train Daniel and Spike more about the power of fire.”

The three nodded.

“Okay, everypony. Prepare, because this journey will be dangerous. We must be ready.” I said to the group.

With that, all agreed and we headed off back to ponyville. As we headed back, I was lost in thought. Kuro is still out there, and now, we have found the stone that is needed to find Kasai’s family. Finding and getting the others won’t be easy.

This will be one of the most unforgetting and dangerous journeys I will take in my life.

Author's Note

I’MMMMMMMMMMMMM BAAAAAAAAAACK MOTHAFOCKAS! I hope you all haven’t been waiting too long for the next chapter.

Final exams were biting me hard in the ass a few weeks ago. I had to drop most of my free time to study. I’m just relieved it’s over. With college done, and summer in my hands, I’m ready to continue with my story.

Be reminded my job is still holding me back, so don’t expect an update 24/7. I will still try to get my next updates up ASAP.

Now, let’s go over some bits on this chapter. Yes, I am following a bit on the game Paper Mario The-Thousand-Year-Door. There will be a reason to why soon. What I have planned for my story fits with the games idea, and I know there’s a few awesome surprises waiting to be discovered.

Next, Daring Do. I thought for a bit about adding her, so I went for it. She will be paired with Daniel in his herd, but will be way later on in the story.

Lats reminder, many are wondering if Will will have a harem of his own. Answer is yes. He will. I do have a few I want to add in, and this is an opportunity for you all. Daniel and Will will have female dragons in their harems. So, I wish to ask you all for some help. Create a female OC dragon for Daniel and Will to make their harems bigger. If there are a few ponies you wish to see inWills Harem, tell me in the comments. I’ll look through them, and see what you all want. If there’s a pony that you want in his harem, but I chose to be in Daniels, I’ll think about it. There will be a few other creatures that will appear in the story, but later on. For now, focus on creating a few female dragons and ponies for Will and Daniels Harem, but try to focus on Will.

Thank you all so much for your patcience and support. Like always, comment, follow and fave for more. I’ll see you all next time in the next exciting chapter of EHS! ^^
