Equestria's Dragon

*RING RING* *RING RIN-*

"Hello, welcome to technical support how may I help you?"

I said, acting as happy as I could due to having the WORST job ever.

"Um, excuse me sir but where's the Space bar button again?" An Elderly voice said over the phone.

*Sigh*

<><><>

I opened the door to my shitty Apartment after yet another boring day. I got my paycheck today, which was Minimum wage. I also made a stop at the bank to cash it in. This resulted in me getting home late. I closed the door behind me, and locked it. You can't trust this part of town. I went into my small room, got a towel, and went to the bathroom. After taking off all my clothes, I stepped into the shower. The warm water washed off all the stress that had accumulated over the long day. It felt good.

<><><>

I stepped out the shower after five minutes. I grabbed my towel and dried my hair quickly. I then wrapped the towel around my waist, and left the bathroom. I entered my room and put on some boxers. I dressed myself in black basketball shorts (Even though I do no sports), and a black T-shirt. Once dressed, I grabbed my phone, and put it in my pocket.

<><><>

*BEEP!* *BEEP!* *BEEP!*

Ah. Last night's leftovers was ready. It was some Beef and Broccoli with white rice from the nearby Chinese carry-out.

I grabbed a fork, and sat down in front of my cheap TV. I put on the news, and began eating.

"Shocking news today, as a Home was broken into last night. The house was occupied by a Family of 4, whom were all brutally murdered. The killer remains unknown, and on the loose. We'll now take you to the scene."

I turned the TV off. That story was morbid. I finished my food, and put the dishes in the sink. It was time to sleep anyway. I was still tired from work.

<><><>

*Crash!*

I awoke. I looked at the digital clock next to me. It was midnight. Okay, I heard a crashing sound...

I tip-toed to the door and slowly opened it. The hallway light was on. I stepped out onto the hallway. The room was in the middle of the the hallway, so I looked to the right. Just my window. I looked to the left.

A man in all black filled my vision. He was carrying a shotgun.

Crap

I backed up. He aimed the gun.

*KA-POW*

I was sent flying back. I crashed through the window and fell from the 9th floor. Then, all black.

<><><>

"Hello And welcome to Channel 21 news. A shocking thing happened last night. A 23 year old man was shot in his Apartment at around midnight. The murder weapon was a Shotgun. The impact was so severe that he was sent flying through a window, where he fell to his death. Police report that this murder is connected with the homicide that happened 2 nights ago. It seems there is a serial killer on the loose, so we advise that you lock all your Doors, windows, and stay inside."

<><><>

"Ughhhh my chest..." I said to myself, while clutching my chest.

That's weird... My skin feels... Hard

I look at my body. I was covered in Black scales.

Memories of what happened flooded my mind.

Am I in a coma?

I look at my hand. It was covered in scales. I also had VERY sharp claws. Sharper than razors.

Yikes

I stood up. My chest was sore as hell. Standing on all fours felt... Natural.

Okay. I looked at my back.

Wings. I HAD WINGS! This must be a lucid dream! I tried flapping the wings.

A single flap drew a large gust of wind. I flapped faster, and harder. I lifted off the ground. I WAS FLYING! I tried to go forward. I went. This was the best dream ever! I took this time to observe my surroundings. I took off from a small clearing, surround by forest. I was about 20 feet above the tree canopy. I was gaining speed too. I slowed down. Didn't want to crash and end this amazing dream!

At this moment, I also realized landing is harder than takeoff. I hit the ground hard enough to knock out all the air from my lungs. Okay.

...

...

...

That's weird. Shouldn't I be awake now? What if... This isn't a dream? Did I die?

Okay. Maybe this is reincarnation? I seem to be a Lizard. Or actually... dragon.

This is so cool.

<><><>

Hours had passed in me doing a combination of flying, and walking. I was hungry now. I assume dragons eat meat. So... I had to find prey. This is a forest... So maybe I could find Deer or Something. Time to look.

<><><>

So I learned I could breathe Fire. I had used it in a fight with a Lion-Scorpion hybrid. That also means I'm probably not on Earth. Also, I killed the Hybrid. It tasted delicious. I built a fire, and cooked the meat. I didn't want to eat it raw. I have standards ya know.

It was also nighttime by now. I ate the whole mid-section of the hybrid until I was full. I then laid down, and closed my eyes. I slept comfortably.

<><><>

When I awoke, I felt a bump near my butt. I felt around there. The bump was... In my body? Wait. There was a flap of skin. I pulled out the object. It was my phone! What... I checked my other side. It had a pocket too.

So dragons have Pockets?

I then realized I could put meat in there! Perfect! I used my claws to Carve 2 hunks of meat from the hybrid. I put each in a pocket. It felt a little cold, but otherwise, it was okay. I decided I'd start today's journey by flying. I noticed, that in the distance, there was a Mountain that rose above everything.

<><><>

It took me a few hours to reach said Mountain. I was really close to it, but Could also see flying figures. The closer I got, the more I could make out. They were Dragons. And hundreds of them.

<><><>

I landed on the top if the mountain, which was filled with dens. I could see eyes looking at me. All the visible Dragons just watched me. There was also a kind of... Clearing? In the middle was mound of GEMS. But, they were surrounded by Dragons about a foot smaller than me. They seemed 5 feet tall. I was around 6. Were these teenagers? They were pretty rowdy... Well, whatever. Those gems seemed to be their treasure pile. They were probably thieves. Anyways, gems probably aren't worth that much here. So, I found a small ledge, and laid down. Then, I took a hunk of meat from my pocket, and engulfed it in my fire. One side was burnt. But, the other side was perfect. It smelled delicious too...

If only I had some ketchup...

<><><>

After a bit of lying around, I noticed a small, purple dragon. He was some 2 feet tall, and seemed to be bi-pedal.

Is that a baby dragon? What's he doing alone?

I kept a close eye as he approached the rowdy dragons. He was carrying a rucksack on a stick.

Maybe he ran away from home?

Oh, he's talking to the leader. After the Baby dragon finished talking, the group laughed at him.

Those pricks

I got up, and walked over slowly. "Hey! What's the big problem?!" I yelled angrily at the squad.

"It's none of your business Newcomer!" The leader of the group said to me, like was a lower being.

I got angry. Really angry. I slashed at him.

My claws sliced his cheek, exposing his gums and teeth. He screamed in pain and agony. Blood seeped from the wound. He fell to floor, crying.

"Now, DON'T YOU EVER MESS WITH PEOPLE THAT AREN'T YOUR OWN SIZE!" I yelled in his ear. I then punched him so hard he lost all the teeth on the left side his face. He went unconscious. I looked up. His group was long gone.

Cowards

My eyes then fell upon the small purple dragon.

"THAT WAS AWSOME!" The little dragon yelled, happy that I defended him. "What's your name dude?" The kid asked.

"Um... Call me... Nightfury." I replied as I looked at my Pitch black scales.

"That's a cool name Nightfury! My name's Spike!" Spike said, like I was his Idol.

"Hey, Spike, what are you doing here? Where are your parents?" I asked, hoping he wasn't a orphan.

"Well, um, I came here from a town called Ponyville to see what my kind is like... And to see what it means to be a dragon..." Spike answered.

"Hey... Do you need a ride home? I could fly you there." I offered.

"Sure! It beats walking!" Spike said, Jubilant because he didn't have to walk all the way home, alone.

"Alright hope on! Also, in what direction is home?" I asked.

"It that way!" Spike pointed south after he got on.

"Hey!" A voice said. I turned around. A dragon with black scales, (Which were a little lighter than mine) And Hazel eyes was approaching. "Hey! I just wanted to say, I'm glad you stood up to that group. They've been causing trouble recently." The dragon said.

"Thanks! What your name By the way?" I asked.

"The names Scare wing!" Scare Wing said.

"Cool name!" I said. "Hey... Can I go with you guys? It's pretty boring here on this mountain..." Scare wing said.

Before we left, I noticed a jumbled mess of fabric which I guess was supposed to be a dragon...

<><><>

It was pretty Silent. The only sound we heard was the our wings flapping. Spike was having the time of his life. He had never really flown before, expect for in Flying chariot. Don't really get how that would fly... But whatever. Me and Scare Wing talked, a lot.

"Hey, how long have you been living in the Mountain?" I asked.

"My whole life." Scare Wing replied replied.

"Wow... What did you do for fun as a Little dragon?" I asked.

"I would mostly try to learn how to fly." Scare Wing replied.

"Wow..." I said in response.

"What about you? Where did come from?" Scare Wing asked

"I'd rather not talk about it..." I said.

"Touchy subject?"

"Kind of."

Our conversion was interrupted by munching. We both looked at Spike. He was eating a Emerald. I am so done.

"Whut?" Spike said, his voice muffled by his his full mouth. I looked at his rucksack. It was Full of gems. Good lord.

"Hey Spike? Is that Ponyville?" I asked, looking ahead.

"Yup." Spike replied after he swallowed. I prepared for landing.

<><><>

Ponyville was terrified. There were two 6 foot tall dragons flying towards them! Everypony ran inside. Mothers pulled their fillies inside, they closed their shutters, doors, EVERYTHING.

<><><>

My feet touched the ground of Ponyville's Town square. Spike got off my back. I had the feeling... I was being watched.

"Hey... Scare wing... Do you feel like you're being watched?" I asked.
