*Chapter 58: The Dragon Kingdom*

Entering new grounds, the boat finally stopped. It docked near one of the docks. We all collected our belongings and exited the ship. We waved goodbye to the captain as it sailed off.

I turned and faced our newest destination.

"We made it guys. The Dragon Kingdom." I stated smiling.

Spike was eager to enter the kingdom and find out more about the Thousand-Moon-Door. He hoped it was real, to the point where it can find his brothers and sisters. Kasai too was eager. He will finally be soon be reunited with his family.

"Cadence, is that you!?" A male voice called out.

The voice had us turn to the right and we saw a Gray scaled dragon, with cream colored dragon eyes.

"Scales!" Cadence exclaimed happily.

(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.)

Reputation Variation

(Will is next seen in a blue and white background, sitting on a cliff, with the wind blowing through his hair and cloths. Blue shadows of himself, were walking on each side of him, in opposite directions.)

Demigod saviour, shaky shaky

(The camera moves in and shows Will looking at his necklace Alex gave him. He clutches it and looks in the sky behind him.)

Zooming moving people know your name

(Spike is seen next in a light purple and light green background, with his wings spread wide, while purple shadows of himself were seen above and below him. Below running and above flying.)

Head-Cha-La you go Wha wha what you say

(Camera moves in front of his face. He raises his palm, letting off elemental energy. He clutches his fist and smirks with confidence.)

Your attention no intention

(Scene moves and we see Twilight, Rarity and Fluttershy smiling at the camera. The unicorns horns let off their aura magic, while Fluttershy opens her wings. Each wave to the camera.)

Dangerous! Let me holla at cha

(The next scene shows Rainbow Dash, Applejack and Pinkie Pie smiling to the camera and throwing their fists up, while Pinkie takes her party camera put and spurts confetti everywhere.)

(Listen to me now!)

(Seven different colored gems, red, yellow, blue, pink, cyan, green, and the mix of black and white are shown spinning in a spiral and then light covers the screen.)

Do you do you realiz

(The scene changes to Daring Do kicking a few cats, tigers and leopards, until she kicks Ahuizotl in the stomach and presses her hoof on his head. She looks at the camera, smirks and pumps her fist out to it.)

Having good time all the time

(The CMC and Pip move into the Camera, and Pip jumps and pumps his fist in the air, while the CMC cheer and pump their fist up as well.)

Battling can't get you serious! (Ha! Ha! Ha!)

(Cadence, Celestia, Luna, Aurora and Shining move into view and the two lovers grab each other by the waist and smile to the camera, while Cadence blows a kiss to the camera, while Shining give a peace sign to the camera, with Celestia holding her hand up, with a yellow orb of the sun, with Luna holding a blue orb, as the moon. Aurora smiling and bowing.)

In Danger you are joking joking

(Scene changes and three young dragon girls come to view. The white Dragon smiles, until the red and blue one push her a little from the view, and blow kisses and wave to the camera. The white one smiles and give a proper bow.)

Tell me tell me who's our hero

(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 purple 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)

Cadence ran up to her old friend and hugged him, while the dragon hugged back.

"By goddess, it's so good to see you." Scales smiled, happy to see his old friend again.

"It's great to see you as well, Scales." The princess of love broke the hug and smiled, while he smiled back.

Scales looked at us as we approached. "These must be the guest that Celestia mentioned in her letter."

Cadence nodded. "That's right."

I walked up and held my hand out. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Scales. My name is Daniel."

The gray dragon smiled and shook my hand. "A pleasure, Daniel. You seem like one interesting creature. Are you the human Celestia spoke of in her letter?"

"That's right. Will, too, is a human as well." I gestured to Will who smiled and nodded to him.

"A pleasure to seeing creature that are spoken in legends. Very interesting." Scales chuckled.

Each of the girls, and the kids introduced them to Scales, while he smiled and greeted them with his smiles.

For a dragon that lived for over thousands of years, I'm impressed his manners have not rusted.

"Now then, Celestia mentioned in her letter that you all need to see the king for something important, correct?" Scales questioned.

I nodded. "That's right. We heard about the legends of the Thousand-Moon-Door. We came here to look for it, if the legend is true."

"Hmm…" The gray elder dragon stroked her scaley chin in thought. "I too have heard legends and stories about the Door, but never saw it in person. Tell me, why are you intentional to finding the door?"

Spike stepped in. "We read about how the door is opened with seven special dragon gems. We believe that the gems are from the Elemental Dragons that existed long ago. I need to find them….so I can be reunited with them."

"You see, Scales, Spike is one of the Elemental Dragons. One of the Children of Kosei Yosco, the Dragon of Elements." I explained.

Scales eyes widened in shock. "Can...is that really true?"

"It is. Go on and show him, Spike."

He nodded and used each of his elements one at a time. Each time, each of the elements were unleashed, Scales eyes turned into dinner plates, and his jaw hung from his head.

"I...I can't believe it." He looked at the young dragon. "Seeing one of the guardian children before me," He then bowed to him, "It is truly an honor to be in your presence."

"Um, there's no need to bow, Scales. I'm not really in for the royalty thing." Spike flushed in embarrassment.

"But with one of the guardian children of Equestria alive is a blessing. The dragons here in the kingdom worship the Elemental Dragons." Scales explains.

"Oh brother." My dragon brother muttered under his breath.

"Now that I know you're one of the guardian children, you must meet the king. I'm sure he would be delighted to meet you and your friends." Scales smiled.

"Well, that's one of the reasons to why we're here." I stated.

"Excellent. Follow me and I'll show you around while we head up to the castle."

We followed Scales through the village, with the dragon moving along and doing their business. However though, many of them were eyeing us, and not in the friendly way. Many were scowling, and growling at us.

"I apologize about the dragons. They're not used to ponies entering the kingdom." Scales said.

"As long as we're with you, I'm sure we'll be fine." Spike said.

We moved along and Scales showed us around. We got the tour of seeing some blacksmith shops, and other shops that hold items that we can check out.

We all decided to look around for a little bit in the shop, in hope, we can find some supplies that can help us for later on.

*(Will POV)*

Looking around through the shop, I was witnessing many stones and jewels. While some were fascinated by them, Rarity was zipping around to where the gems were. No surprise, since she's into things like that.

However, something caught my attention. In a glass cylinder, was a stone. It looked rather unusual. It was light mint green, with purple gems around it. It was one of the most interesting stones my eyes witnessed.

"W...ll."

Hearing something made me look around. The others were a little far from me and I was out by myself. I just cleaned my ears out, probably thinking I'm just hearing things.

"Will…."

Okay, now I know I'm hearing things. Who was calling to me? Not only that...I was feeling...some kind of weird….energy. When I looked back at the stone, the energy feeling grew stronger. Not only that….the stone was….lightly glowing.

I took a few steps closer to the stone, and it glowed brighter than before. My hand slowly rose up and I was about to touch the glass, until,

"You have a keen eye, young one."

I jolted in surprise and quickly turned around to meet an elder dragon, who was the owner of the shop.

"Oh...I'm sorry sir. I didn't see you there."

The old dragon chuckled. "Not to worry young one." He looked back at the stone. "In all my years of living, I never thought this stone would react to anyone."

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"This stone holds the spirit of a powerful dragon that lived long ago. It is said this dragon can bring wonders to the one who holds its power. Many dragons have tried to control the gems power, but rejected them immediately." He looked at me with an old smile.

"But in this case….I think the stone has taken a liking to you."

"But….why me?"

"I believe you were destined for this stone, sonny." he gently pressed his claw on the glass and it melted, until the glass was gone. "Go ahead….see if it will respond to you."

I looked at the stone for a moment, and back at the dragon, who smiled and nodded. I took a breath and slowly reached out to it. As my hand got closer, the stone glowed brighter. At that, I finally grasped the stone within my palm. I felt massive energy flowing through me and my eyes felt warm. What I didn;t know, is that my left eye was green, and my right was purple. The energy flowed for a few more seconds, until it died down, and I gasped for breath.

"Well I'll be…" The elder smiled. "You and the gem are truly connected to one another."

"Umm...I guess so, but that rush of energy...I never felt anything like that before." I was stunned by the power of the stone. Could this be what it feels like….to have real power? Could this new energy be what I can use to be special?

"Take the stone, child, and use it for the purpose you were destined for." The shop owner smiled.

I was shocked he was willing to give me the stone just like that. Did I even need to pay for it. "Umm...I….don't have money."

The elder dragon chuckled. "There's no need for any gems or money, young one. To tell you the truth, I was waiting for the one who can use the gems power."

"Really?"

"Yes. The stone is yours now." I was really happy that he was willing to give me the stone. I smiled and bowed my head.

"Thank you so much, sir. I promise, I'll use this gem for the purpose of helping others."

The dragon chuckled. "I'm sure you will my boy."

"Come on, Will! We're leaving!" I heard Daniel call out from the entrance.

"Coming!" I called. I looked at the dragon again and smiled. "Thank you again, sir." I bowed in thanks and rejoined with the others."

*(Daniel POV)*

"Took you long enough." I said as Will ran up to us.

"Sorry. Just had a chat with the shop owner." He smiled sheepishly.

I looked in his palm and saw he had a stone. "How did you get that?"

Will looked at the stone in his hand. "The shop own was looking for someone that can handle the gems power. It responded well to me, and he just gave it to me."

"Really?" I asked. "Interesting. May I try holding it?"

"Uh...sure." He held the stone out.

I reached for it and grasped it, but what I did, I felt major energy shooting in my body, causing me to let go of it immediately.

"OW!" I grunted in pain and held my stinging hand. "Will, did you?"

"I literally didn't do anything. The stone must have responded on its own." Will stated.

*(3rd Person POV)*

As Spike decided to look around a bit on his own his careless walking ended up making the young drake run into a very familiar face. And one that he'd much rather forget as well…

"Ugh… Garble…" Spike muttered in annoyance in seeing the red-scaled dragon once again.

"Do I know you, punk?" Garble asked, not recognizing Spike's new appearance.

"Oh, I think you do. Considering that you found out that I hung out with ponies." Spike said with venom in his tone.

"Wait a sec… Spike!? And just what in Tartarus are you doing here?"

"None of your business, that's what. Now leave me alone." Spike said pushing Garble out of his way and getting a rise out of the bully dragon.

Slamming his foot down on Spike's tail, he yelped in both surprise and pain before retaliating with a quick blast of fire that sent Garble back into a wall, startling him as Spike walked up to him in anger.

"I'm not the same little runt that you picked on anymore, Garble. Do the smart thing here and walk away."

"No way! You're just a weak runt! Always have been, always will be! Especially when your friends are nothing but a bunch of stupid ponies and… What the hell are those things?" Garble asked pointing to Will and Daniel.

"Those two are my friends, Will and Daniel. You leave them out of this, Garble. This is between you and me." Spike said with more authority in his tone.

"And why shouldn't I pick on those two weirdos? They just look like a couple of dumb overgrown monkeys to me!" Garble said with a slight chuckle before Spike struck him in the face with his claw and grabbed him by his neck.

"Twilight… Cover the Crusaders' ears along with Pipsqueak's ears. I'm about to say a LOT of stuff that they really shouldn't hear." Spike growled to Twilight before she nodded and her horn lit up.

Almost immediately, the crusaders and Pipsqueak's ears were covered in a lavender aura, meaning that Spike had plenty of freedom to talk as badly as he had to.

"What the fuck makes you think that i'm just going to let you talk anymore of your bullshit about any of my friends? What in the fuck makes you think that you have the right to mess with me anymore, Garble? Now, you listen and listen good, cocksucker… It's like I said before, I'm not the same runt that you can pick on anymore. I am a Celestia-damned full grown dragon AND one of the most powerful beings in this world now. Ever since I met Daniel, my life has changed for the better, and if you EVER disrespect me, Daniel, Will, or any of my friends ever again, I'll fire blast whatever molten scraps of that motherfucking worthless piece of Diamond Dog shit that you call a brain out the back of your damned skull. And for the record 'pony lover' is hardly an insult. I happen to be dating one and loving the experience."

Everyone with the ability to hear still was in silence. The Mane 6 because they'd never heard Spike talk like this before outside of being possessed, Daniel and Will for how brutally efficient he was, and Garble was still processing the information.

"You-I-" Instead of even trying to make a retort Garble turned the other way and ran off, but before yelling, "This isn't over yet, pony-lover!"

"Some people never learn." Spike sighed before turning back to Twilight. "Okay, I'm done now." The aura around the young ponies faded, and the first one to say anything was Sweetie Belle.

"Are you okay Spike? That sounded pretty intense." She was concerned about what might happen if he lost his temper again.

"Yeah, don't worry. I just needed to take out some trash really quickly." Spike joked.

The group chuckled.

"I gotta say, Spike. You certainly put him in his place." Daniel smiled.

"I never thought you would have the guts to say all of that to him." Will said, a little stunned by his choice of words.

"Well, he has been getting on my nerves the last time he and I met. He was nothing but a pain in my behind." Spike mentioned.

"Well, how about we continue on to the castle? We don't want to keep the king waiting." Scales suggested.

They all nodded and all pressed forward on to the castle.

*(Few moments later…)*

The group finally reached the gates of the dragon castle. The walls were huge, as they stretched out and surrounded the area.

"The walls looked smaller when we were walking here." Pip said.

"Sometimes things are bigger than they seem at different distances, little bro." Daniel mentioned as the colt was on his shoulders.

"Come." Scales gestured.

As the group walked up to the gates, the group was stopped by the dragon guards.

"Scales, what's the meaning of bringing ponies into the castle, and two unknown creatures?" The first guard asked, sneering at the group.

"They're my guests, and we have important matters to attend to with the king. It's very important." Scales explained.

"Well...if it's that important, then I guess we can allow it this time, but if the king gets angry with you bringing ponies into the castle, you know the consequences."

Scales nodded and the gates opened. The group walked in while Daniel and Spike looked back at them once before they head inside.

The inside of the castle looked very different than Celestia's castle. Instead of white all around, the walls, pillars and floor were gray, and the carpet was purple with red linings. A few Dragon bones popped out of the wall, and even a few Dragon heads were mounted on the wall or hanging on chains.

"Wow. Way different than the castle in Canterlot." Daring noted.

"Agreed. I never seen such a castle that looks so ancient." Twilight pipped in.

The group finally stopped at a pair of double doors.

"Okay, I want to you all to stay here and wait until I say otherwise." Scales said to the group.

The group nodded and Scales entered the room. In the far back, were four thrones, one bigger than the three next to it.

The dragon sitting in the center was the king. He had coal colored scales, red eyes, and was wearing dragon scale armor and a crown with an orange dragon stone on top.

"King Obelisk?" Scales bowed.

"Scales. I didn't expect you to visit today." Obelisk said. "What brings you here?"

"Another shipping of jewels coming in?" Another dragon questioned.

She was around 17 years old. Her body was covered in blue scales, has cyan colored eyes, and was wearing a sea blue dress with a silver tiara with a sapphire on top.

The next one was around 18, a year older than the two. Her body was covered in red scales, pink colored eyes and wears a silky red dress with a bronze tiara with a ruby.

The final dragon female was younger the others at 16. Her scales were white, gray colored eyes, and wearing a white dress with a silver tiara with a diamond on top.

"I'm afraid not, Ruby." Scales mentioned to the red dragon, named Ruby. "It's something more important."

"What could be so important?" Obelisk questioned.

"You see, my lord, we have visitors. They're here to request something that is important to them." Scales explained.

"Important, hm?" He stroked his scaley chin, "Interesting. Who are these visitors?"

"They're a group of ponies with-"

"YOU DARE BRING PONIES TO OUR KINGDOM!?" Ruby screamed. "YOU SHOULD BE THROWN IN THE DUNGEONS!"

"Ruby! Enough!" Obelisk snapped.

Ruby huffed, but she sat down.

"Scales, why do you bring ponies into MY kingdom?" The king of dragons questioned.

"They're here for to ask you something that is important. It's about you know what." He explained.

Obelisks eyes lit up. "That, huh? Very well, bring them in."

Scales nodded and went to the door. He motioned the group to come in. As the group entered, the three sisters had different thoughts. Ruby was certainly not happy about them being in her presence. Sapphire was not interested in them, but spotting Spike, she did have some interest. Crystal was curious about them. She never seen ponies before, and the two humans as well.

"You came to my kingdom in the condition of knowing something that is spoken in legends, am I right?" Obelisk questioned the group.

"That's right. We believe you might know about the legends of the Thousand-Moon-Door, your majesty." Daniel stepped in.

"Who and what are you?"

"My name is Daniel Blaze. I am a human." He greeted.

"Hmm….a human. Very interesting. I read a few stories about your kind. Interesting that not one, but two are standing here, in my throne room." Looking at both Will and Daniel. "Back to the matter at hand, why do you want to know more about the door?"

Spike stepped in. "We believe the door might hold the key to finding specific dragons we're looking for."

Obelisk looked at him for a moment, before asking, "What's your name?"

"I go by Spike, but my birth name is Verin." He said.

The dragon king looked surprised. "Verin you say…." He smirked. "Ful, hin faan fosoth Verin. Aalkos hi dreh ni mindok do faal Dovah tinvok. Orin to Verin los hin saad faan."

Understanding what Obelisk said, Spike smirked back. "Zu'u assure hi, hin vahlin, Zu'u mindok faal Dovah tinvok nunon flogah."

The king and the three female dragons grew shocked to what he just said.

"How….how do you know the Dova Language? That language is only known to some of the dragons that lived long ago?"

"Well, you can say the dragon blood runs strong in me, especially since my blood ties strong in my family." He explained.

"What do you mean?" Crystal asked.

"You see my lord, Spike here is one of the guardian children." Scales butted in.

Obelisks eyes widened in shock. "You...mean that…."

"Yes, my lord. Spike….is an elemental dragon."

"LIES!" Ruby shouted. "There's no way this sad excuse of a dragon can be one of the legendary guardian children of our world!"

Seeing as how Spike wasn't taking the dragon princess's tone of voice too well, he decided to shut her down by showing off some of his power.

"How about I show you, that what Scales says is true about me?" With a faint aura gradually increasing in both size and brightness, it was only a matter of time before Spike's entire body released a powerful concussive blast of pure force, with each of the elements splashing out in the room.

Ruby instantly grow both jealous and upset that she was dead wrong and that she was weaker than him.

Sapphire's previously small interest in the young dragon quickly turned into a powerful desire for his being as she suddenly felt herself falling for him and believing that he was truly the one worthy enough to breed with her.

Crystal was simply amazed by his sudden display of power and couldn't find the words to even ask how he was able to produce such velocity of energy.

Obelisk was left with no other choice but to kneel in front of the drake, seeing now that his power was far from false. He had never believed that he would see the day when he would've met one of the elemental dragons in the flesh.

"Young dragon, it's a high pleasure to know that you are one of the legendary children of this world. I humbly welcome you to my kingdom." He said with deep honor in his words.

Spike blushed and chuckled sheepishly. "T-thank you, your majesty, but there's no need to bow to me."

"There is. You are an elemental dragon. My people worship you and your kin." He explained.

"Not to mention one who is also very handsome." Sapphire smirked and winked at the young dragon.

Spike blushed, but he smiled nervously and scratched his head.

"Now then, I'm sure you wish to know about the legends of the Thousand-Moon-Door," Obelisk mentioned as he sat back down on his throne.

"Yes." Spike and the others nodded.

The king of dragons nodded and smiled. "It is true of the legends. The door does exist."

Spike felt joy blossom in his heart. Now, with the door, and the dragon stone on hand, he can finally find the other dragon gems and be reunited with his family.

"Sir, we wish if you can take us to the door." Daniel said.

"Of course, please follow me." The king got up and head out the door, with his daughters following suit. The group followed along.

On their way there, Sapphire walked next to Spike.

"I'm Sapphire. Spike right?" She asked.

"Yeah. It's a pleasure to meet you, Sapphire." He smiled.

"Believe me, Spike… The pleasure is all mine. I'll admit...i've seen quite a few powerful dragons in the past, but I've never seen one that could do something like THAT back in the throne room. Never met one as cute, either…" Sapphire said as she looked at him with bedroom eyes as she licked her lips.

"W-Well, thanks. I guess…". Spike said with a slight blush as he tried to distance himself from Sapphire a bit, only for her to move closer as they were walking.

"So… Out of curiosity… Do you already have a mate?"

"Um… Well…" Spike just muttered as he felt as if his tongue was in a knot.

"I think i'll take that as a no, then. Any chance that when this is over… You and I can get to… 'Know each other better?' I can show you some really nice places around the kingdom. Really nice…" Sapphire said as she gave Spike a quick pinch on his rear and earning a small yelp from him, but not enough for anyone to notice.

"I-I think I'm good, thanks." Spike said moving ahead of her.

"Suit yourself, stud. You'll change your mind soon enough." Sapphire said before blowing a heart-shaped ring of smoke at his face, making him blush even more than before and forcing him to increase his walking speed to catch up with Daniel and Will.

Daniel looked at the side and saw his dragon brother blushing like mad. "Hey, you alright? You look as red as a tomato right now."

"Huh? Oh….yeah, i'm okay. Just had a chat with Sapphire." He answered.

"I think it was more than a….chat." Daniel pointed out.

Spike scooted closer to him and whispered, "Dude, this girl is actually throwing herself on me. What do I do?"

"Just relax, Spike. When something like this happens, just try to get to know her a little bit. If things get out of hand, just tell her your boundaries." Daniel whispered.

"You think that will work?"

"I handled many mares who are like that….well, in a way." Daniel blushed from the times mares seduced him and he went to fucking them raw.

"Okay….thanks bro." Spike smiled.

"Anytime, bro." Daniel patted his shoulder while smiling back.

The group made it to a pair of doors, with dragon bones on them.

"Is this it?" Twilight asked.

"The legend that is spoken, is right behind this door." The king opened the door and the group witnessed to what they were seeing.

The room was massive, with very old pillars, some even chipped and some are on the ground. In the center of the room, was a pedestal, with a massive double door with seven symbol-shaped gems on them.

"Th-that's…" Spike breathed in awe.

"It's the Thousand-Moon-Door! The legends spoken are true!" Daring exclaimed in awe. "I can't believe what I'm witnessing."

"Come on, let's get a closer look." Will said.

The group made it near the pedestal; some of the groups were confused by it.

"What's up with this pedestal?" Spike asked.

"Not sure, but I think…" Daniel stood on the center of it, but then a flash of light blasted around them, startling them in surprise. Soon, markings glowed around the area, covering the pedestal in a golden glow.

"W-what's going on!?" Spike asked.

Before anyone could answer, Daniels wrist glowed red and revealed Kasai's gem. The gem vanished and was hovering in the air in one of the glowing circles. Then, the dragon stone he was carrying appeared above him and slowly rose in the air. Out of the bloom, a golden beam of energy shot into the gem. What felt like forever, the gem exploded in power, until the lights dimmed and the gem lowered back into Daniel's hands.

"What was that all about?" Sapphire asked.

"Not too sure." Obelisk answered, but was amazed by what he witnessed.

"What do you think happened?" Spike asked.

"Not to sure, but I think we should head back to the throne room to find out more." Daniel answered.

*(Back in the Throne room)*

As the group walked back into the throne room, they proceeded to examine the gem more closely in order to figure out what the powerful blast of energy into the gem was about.

"I don't understand… I'm looking all over this thing and I'm not seeing anything different-

Daniel wasn't even granted a chance to finish his sentence as a beam of light was fired directly into his head. The same event happened to Will and Spike as they began lifting off of the ground with the same power flowing around their bodies until they dropped to the ground in a daze. The Mane 6 and the children rushed over to the three warriors as they felt as if they were possibly hurt.

"Daniel! Are you alright?" Twilight asked.

"I'm okay. I think… My head's killing me, though...Why is the name, 'The Forge' suddenly burned into my brain?" Daniel asked as he grabbed his head.

"You're not the only one, dude… It's in my head as well. I even saw the place." Will said holding his head as well.

"Same here. Geez…" Spike groaned.

"Interesting… It would appear that the location of the gem has been embedded into your minds." Obelisk stated to them.

Daniel was the first to shake his head and regain his senses.

"You know that place, your highness?" Daniel asked.

"Indeed. The Forge is also known as the Temple of Earth, which houses the first gem in your quest. It is also known to be the home of a powerful monster that acts as the guardian of the temple."

"M-Monster?" Fluttershy asked as she was trembling a bit.

"The Forge was once also known to both miners and blacksmiths as a regular gold-mine for rare ores and materials. However, there was an accident that caused the ancient beast to awaken, leading to hundreds of lives lost at its hands.

"Uh… What does this 'monster' look like?" Will asked with a bit of fear in his tone.

"I'm afraid that no one, pony or dragon, has seen the beast and ever come back alive to even give a description."

The entire group held a pale expression at hearing this information. The creature that they may end up having a very high chance of running into might be their downfall if they weren't careful.

"Guess getting Chikyū won't be as easy as we thought." Daniel thought.

"King Obelisk, where can we find The Forge Temple?" Daring questioned.

"I think I know." Daniel stepped in. He pulled out the dragon stone and allowed it to float in the air. The stone glowed and a holographic map appeared in front of the group. Red areas blinked, until they found one point on the map that wasn't red. It was yellow, in a small village that looked to be in a dry land.

"There. That's where Chikyū is." Spike pointed on the map.

"It seems the guardian of Earth is in the Temple, near the village, known as Quakesville." Obelisk stated.

"According to the map, Quakeville doesn't look too far off from here. We should be able to get to the village in about two days at best." Daring explained, looking over the map.

"If we fly on Kasai, we'll be able to get there faster." Daniel pipped in.

"Then it's settled. We head to Quakeville, and find my brother." Spike declared.

"That will have to wait until tomorrow, Spike. We'll need to rest and be prepared. Whatever is in that temple will not show us mercy." Daniel declared.

"I will be more than happy to prepare you all for your journey." Obelisk smiled. "I will pack you all some dragon gems to use as money, and some supplies."

"What!? Father, you can't be serious!" Ruby shouted. "Why should we help the likes of them!?"

"Ruby, you will respect our guests, especially Revin." The king narrowed his eyes at her daughter.

Ruby huffed, but remained silent.

"Now, I shall have my guards escort you all to your rooms. And, I will give word to my kingdom about your visit here. Wouldn't want trouble to brew, now do we?" Obelisk chuckled.

Cadence and the others smiled. We all bowed. "We can't thank you enough, your highness."

Obelisk chuckled. "It's no problem. It's not everyday I find visitors who are finding the guardian children of our world."

A few guards came in and escorted the group out and showed them to their rooms. As the group left, Obelisk was left in his thoughts.

"You think they can find the others, daddy?" Sapphire asked.

"I believe they might, since they do have the dragon stone." The king replied.

"Whatever. They might find them, but they will never be on the top like we are." Ruby sneered.

"Why do you always have to be so mean, Ruby?" Crystal asked.

"Shut up!" Ruby snapped at her younger sister.

"Enough. Now, why don't you three run along? I need to be by myself for a while." The king said.

The three sisters nodded and left Obelisk in his thoughts.

*(With the group. Daniel POV)*

After talking with the king, we followed the guards to our assigned rooms. Things were actually looking up pretty well. Now that we have the dragonstone, and the legends of the Thousand-Moon-Door exist, we can finally find the other elemental Dragons. Things are really looking up for us.

"These doors have your assigned rooms. If you all have any questions or need anything, let the maids or one of the guards know." The guard said to us.

We all nodded in response. He bowed to Spike and left us.

I opened my door to my room, and it looked pretty badass. The room has a dragon theme to it, and even a few dragon murals and pictures. The bed looked pretty cool too. Some dragon bones and a dragon head were facing upward in the center. Checking to how soft it was, the bed felt really awesome.

I sighed and placed my stuff on the bed. Pipsqueak came in and sat next to me.

"You think we'll find the other dragons?" He questioned.

I smiled and nodded. "Of course little bud." I ruffled his mane, making him giggle in response. "We have Will, Spike and Kasai with us. We can't fail to find them."

"But….what about that creature the king told us? What if we can't beat it?" He asked in slight fear.

"We will beat whatever is in that temple. As the old saying goes, where there's a will, there's a way."

The colt smiled and nodded to me.

"Hey, Daniel," I looked up to See Spike and Will at the door. "Me and Spike are heading to the training room to get some practice in. Want to join us?"

I smiled and nodded. "Yeah. A little training wouldn't hurt." I turned to Pipsqueak. "You wanna come with us and watch?"

"Yeah!" Pip jumped off the bed.

I chuckled and followed the two through the halls, with a guard Will spoken to not to long ago to escort us to the training room. Escorting through the dragon theme halls, the guard brought us to the training room.

It looked different to the one I was used to in Canterlot, but it was the same; Only difference was the dragon like theme and dragon weapons around. After giving our thanks to the guard, he nodded and gave a bow to Spike before leaving us alone.

"I don't think I'm gonna get used to being praised by the dragons in this kingdom." Spike chuckled slightly with a scratch of his cheek. I could only chuckle slightly by his words.

The three of us took our upper clothing off, leaving out tank tops on, before me and Will unsheathed our swords while Spike ignited his fire blade from his wrist.

"You boys ready?" I smirked while holding my battle stance. The two nodded with smirks of their own, taking their positions. "Begin!"

*(3rd Person POV)*

By the warriors command, the three lunged at each other; close at rang, their blades clashed, igniting sparks from their strikes. Daniel jumped back, but caught off guard when the legendary dragon was in front of him, swinging a fist into his gut. Daniel gasp in pain, falling and skidding against the floor. With a groan, the raven haired boy rose up.

"Not bad. He hasn't lost his touch in his training. Guess it will be a long time before I can catch to my own student." Daniel thought with a proud grin. He saw Will charging at him with his blade up, ready to strike. Gaining a close range, the boy swung his blade down, but was blocked by Daniel's own blade. Both wrestled for dominance as they glared at each other with bared teeth.

WHAM!

A purple knee slammed Will in the face; Spike taking the advantage of the boy being occupied by his teacher. Will rolled along the ground before skidding. A groan escaped his throat before he rose to one knee and panted. He felt a trickle of blood drip from his lip before wiping it.

"Even through all of that training, I'm still below them. I gotta try harder, or I'll never commit part to the group." Said boy thought in a determined spirit. Little did he know, the gem he received at the shop was slightly glowing within. The dragon spirit from within hears and knows the call for victory.

Both Daniel and Spike lunged at Will, both teaming up as they swung their weapons around at the powerless warrior. Will did his best to block through each of the strikes, only blocking some of their attacks, while the remaining strikes struck him in different areas of his body. His legs, his chest, his arms and his face. Both student and teachers did a jump backflip as they moved away from the human. Will panted, clutching his arm while red liquid seeped from his open cut wounds.

"Not bad, Will. But, you need to do better if you can fight against more powerful opponents! Push your body through its limit and beyond!" Daniel called as he and Spike readied for another strike.

Will knew Daniel was right. If he doesn't go beyond, he won't get stronger. His hands gripped his sword handle tightly, baring his teeth as his wounded body trembled in damage. "He's right...I need to get stronger...I won't let him down…" Both warriors lunged at Will with battle cries.

"I will protect my friends...my home...WITH MY LIFE!" Like that, the gem Will held shined brightly to his powerful call to win. Sensing this power, Will's body absorbed it until his eyes shined.

"*YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"* The boy roared as green and purple aura exploded around him, sending a shockwave of energy. The power blasted Spike and Daniel away as they landed on their feet with a skid. Both were equally shocked to the sudden burst of energy igniting from their friend.

"Daniel, what's happening!?" Spike gasped in wonder to his teacher.

"I don't know!" Daniel replied as they braced from the shockwaves of tremendous energy. "But….wherever Will is getting this power...it's amazing!"

Will continued screaming as the never ending pool of energy surged. His muscles bulked up, igniting from the power surging from the stone. His bellowing scream finally calmed as he looked at the ground, but the aura remained. Both Spike and Daniel finally looked at their newly charged up friend in wonder.

"Will...are you alright?" Daniel asked the boy.

Will breathed before grinning, "Yeah...in fact…" He looked up before surprising the two. His left eye was now green, and his right was purple, both glowing in their rightful colors, "I never felt better." His hand held out before the dragon stone he acquired hovered out of his pocket and in front of his palm. What shocked both warriors now was when the gem glowed and turned into a sword.

The blade handle was mint green. The outer sections of the handle were a little bumpy, and the ends each had a purple orb gem on them, with the bottom giving a downward curved jagged end. The blade was white, with the top completely sharp, but a few inches down was open a bit, like a circle sliced the edge off a bit to give it that open jagged opening.

Needless to say, both Daniel and Spike were very surprised by the sudden power and the gem he acquired able to turn into a sword. Will gave a confident grin before pulling stance with both his blades, "You two gonna fight me, or gawk all day?"

Getting their senses back, both fighters grinned. Daniel summoned Kasai's fire sword as Spike ignited an earth blade from his other wrist as it spun around dust and bits of earth.

"Heads up, Spike, Will's power is greater than before. We don't know what we're dealing with here now." Daniel warned as they readied to charge.

"Got it." The purple dragon nodded as they soon charged at the boy. When they got close, both swung their blades down, but Will blocked them both with his swords, shocking them by his new superior strength. Will pushed them both back before he spun kick Spike in the gut and sliced Daniel's cheek a bit, but enough to make him spin off in the air and land on the ground.

Daniel groaned as he rose up and healed his cut with his healing chakra. "Where did all of that strength come from? It's like his inner warrior was unleashed...wait," His eyes traced the new sword in Will's hand, "Could that gem have something to do with it?"

"My turn!" Will charged at incredible speed before slamming his knee into Daniel's gut.

"Gah! He's faster than before!" The raven boy thought, "I gotta turn it up a notch!" He crossed his fingers and called "*Shadow Clone Jutsu!"* Three clones appeared in smoke. "Attack him!" They all cried out as they started attacking Will as Daniel landed and started to slowly recover.

Will continued to block and strike the attacks back against the clones. Each passing moment, he felt more stronger than before. When one of the clones bashed him in the gut, he felt his power boosting. Soon, the other clones started striking at him with fast and powerful force. He continued to take the attacks as his power continued to rise up higher and higher. With another striking blow, the clone bashed his head and he flew into the air and landed on his back.

"Spike, Now!" Daniel shouted. Spike quickly move and cried out to strike him. But then, Will snapped his eyes open with a smirk, before spinning out of the way and punched Spike into the back, receiving a crack from his bones as he yelled in pain and fell.

The raven haired boy's jaw dropped to the ground by that sudden strength that was even enough for even Spike to not handle. "The fuck!? He's nearly beaten to a pulp and yet he's gotten much stronger!? How!?" Will soon lunged at Daniel's clones as they started being pushed back by new level of strength that caught them off guard completely. With a shout and swing of the blade, Will cut the clones in half as they screamed in pain and poofed in smoke.

Will grinned before facing Daniel and charged. The boy got up and braced for a brutal attack. However, Will's eyes returned to normal and he groaned and fell to the ground, dropping his swords as they clanged to the ground.

"Will!" Both fighters got up and ran to him before kneeling.

"Will, are you ok, man?" Daniel asked in concern. The boy groaned as he slowly got up, breathing while gripping his shoulder.

"Y-Yeah...I'm alright…" Will replied with a weak chuckle, "But...damn...that power I felt…"

Daniel could only chuckle before helping him up. "Yeah, you shocked us too by that surge of power you released." Will chuckled softly by his remark before sighing deeply. "I think that's enough training for right now. We'll continue after some rest."

"Agreed." Spike groaned, using his dragon magic to heal his cracked back that Will hit him.

"Ehehe...sorry about that strike, bud…" Will chuckled sheepishly.

Spike only chuckle with a shake of his head. "Don't worry about it. I'll live." The three grabbed their jackets as they left the training room for some well deserved rest. Pipsqueak who was watching climbed on Daniel's shoulders as he gave them positive marks and praises on their amazing job on their training.

They will need it, because their journey to find the Dragons beings tomorrow, and it will be one of their biggest adventures yet.
