The Courageous Knight

''Phew!, man im tired, how long till I reach this Ponyville, and I wonder what Cranky meant back there before I left?''

Zeus said as he thought to himself as he remebered Cranky's last words.

''By the way kid! I'd be careful if I were you.''

''What do you mean? are the locals in Ponyville not friendly?''

''Not exactly, if anything their the opposite, it just drives me crazy, especially the Pink puffy one, I'd watch out for her.''

''Is this pink pony you speak of more powerful than Princess Twilight?''

''Heh heh heh, you'll see kid, youl'll see.

After the instant flash back, Zeus relized that he could her town folks talking. As he approaches, the noise grw louder and louder. As he hid behind a bush and peeked through, at his amazed, he saw a large town full of talking ponies.

''Wooow! look at this place, look at all the ponies!''

He said to himself as he was shocked to see all these different ponies, all in different colors and size. Some flying by as others had glowing horns, which appeared to be levitating what look like groceries.

''Man, its just like home only with ponies, their homes made out of bricks and hay, ponies pulling carts full with fruits and vegetables and looks like their selling them, hhmmm two bits each the sign says, I guess they use these ''bits'' as some sort of money, and wow they even have education here!''

He said, as he saw three fillys run towards a sound of a school bell ringing. As he was checking the view, he quickly pulled his head back behind the bush to think of a plan.

''Ok, how should I approach them, I mean after what happened between me and cranky, im guessing they had their run ins with some dragons, and i'm preetty sure it didnt go so well. I would really hate to start a panic. But still I need some help and the only person r I mean pony that can help me lives in this here town.''

As he took in a deep breath and exhale, he had came out of the bushes and made his way toward the ponies. As he made his way, He began to sweat and shake nervously as he came towards the town. hoping not to mess up, he didnt notice a wood board, hiden by the grass with a sharp nail sticking out. As soon as he raised his hand, before he could say hello, his right foot was completely over the nail.

''ROOOOOAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

As he began to scream, the ponies of Ponyville stopped what they where doing and turned their attention toward the sound of, what appeared to be a loud terrible roar.

''Ghuahh!!''

The crowed gasped as they turned and looked at the fearsome dragon.

''GAAAAAAAGGGGGHHHH!!! EVERYPONY RUN!!!''

A voice cried as the ponies began to scatter all over the place, knocking over barrels and carts, slamming doors and closing curtains, and shop owners turning over open sighns to say closed.

'' Wait everyone please! I'm here looking for Princesses Twilight Sparkle!

Zeua cried, as he pulled out the nail and rubbing the sole of his feet. Then out of no where, a flash of blue swooped down, upper cutting him as he fell to his rear, leaving a rainbow trail.

''I don't think so scaley! you want the princesses, you'll have to go through me to get her!''

A tomish-boy voice cried as Zeus Jumped to his feet

''Who are you? and why are you attacking me?''

He said as he looked for his attacker all around him.

''FWEET! up here slow poke!''

The voice said as Zeus looked up and saw what appeared to be a blue flying pony, with rainbow hair.

''The names Rainbow Dash, the fastest pegasus in all of Equestria, future wonderbolt!''

''Why are you attacking me?''

''Because I had my run-in's with a dragon before, three teen dragons to be exact, their cruel monsters that care about nothing other than their precious treasure!''

Then, Rainbow Dash zoomed toward Zeus again. As Zeus saw her coming toward him he quickley postioned himself and squat down causing Rainbow to swoop pass, giving him the chance to lunch at her and wrapping his arms around her wings and front limbs. He then fell back down to the grown, landing on his two feet, with the blue pony still wrapped in his arms.

''GAAA! Let me go you jerk!''

She said as she struggled to get free.

''Hey now just hold on for a sec! let me explain, I just came here for hel...''

Before Zeus could finish his sentence, a apple was lunched at his head, causing him to lose focus and releasing Rainbow Dash.

''You alright dare RD?''

A country accent called out from behind. Zeus rubbed the back of his head and turned around to see a orange pony with a cowboy hat and a pile of apple all around her.

''You best take your busniess else where you dang vermint.''

''Thanks Applejack, I owe ya.''

''No problem sugercube, now lets show dis here vermint that he came messen with da wrong ponies!

''You got it AJ!''

Rainbow Dash began to fly cirles around Zeus, distrackting him as Applejack strarted to buck many apples at him and nailing him like bean bags.

Hey now what gives you jerks!!!

Zeus said, as he crossed his arms infront of he's face to foarm a X shape sheild, making his way to Applejack. As he got closer he heard a nother whistle.

''FWEEET! youwho over here darling!

Stopping in his trail, Zeus turned to see two more ponies standing accross from him. One with purple curly mane and the other, pink and puffy mane, almost as if it where made of cotten candy, between the two was a large blue canon.

''Pinkie pie, can you be a dear and give are friend here some colors, he looks a bit blue.''

''Okie dokie Rarty! lets party!

BANG!!!

Soon, Pinkie had pulled the canon string, causing a huge bang, sending tons of colorful confetti at Zeus and sending him flying in midair through a house under construction, and crashing back down while dragging, as if he where a meter crashing down on earth.

''D...Damit, why?''

Zeus utterd as he sat up, feeling weak from the blast and smashing through wooden beams. As he try to gather up all his energy, the four ponies gathered around him all preparing to comence their attack again.

''All right ya'll, lets finish this!

''Here here!

''Right!''

''Okie Dokie!

As Zeus prepare for their attacks, he notice a yellow pony behind a pile of hay, next to the constructed home, Zeus has crashed into. Due to the lost of the supporting beams, the building slowly began to lean toward the unaware yellow pony. Instanly, Zeus lunched himself like a rocket, passing the other ponies and toward the yellow pony.

''FLUTTERSHY LOOK OOUUTT!!!

But it was no use, Fluttershy was frozen in fear as she see's Zeus coming straight for her.

''EEEEEEEKKK''

She squeald as she shot her eyes and braced her self. After a few momments, she opend her eye's and saw Zeus above her, holding up the building before crushing her.

''O..Oh my.''

''P..Please go! I dont know how long I can hold this thing!

Lobo said as he was struggling to hold a intire building above the two.

''B..But I.''

''GO NOW!!!''

Zeus screamed, sending the shy pony running toward her friends.

''Aw man, th..this strength, it's unbelieveable. How did my strenght and speed doubled then before?

He said as the building came lower and lower.

''Man, that battle did take out a lot of my energy, I cant hold it anymore...oh well, at least that one pony is save, heh heh heh.''

He said before losing the support of the building, causing it to slam down on him, knocking him out cold.

''Hmmoow w..what happen?''

Slowly opening his eye's, Zeus gained his conscious. As he moved, he began to feel sharp pain and sores all over his intire body.

''Ow! my body, i'm covered in bandages.''

He then slowly sat up, and looked all arround him.

''Where am I, what king of room is this?''

He said as he seen that the walls all around him are made out of crystals. Soon the sound of the door handle turned and the door began to open getting his attention. Entering the room were the five ponies he had seen during battle being lead by a nother purple pony and next to her a small  baby dragon.

''Hello there, my name is Pinccese Twilight Sparkle, princesse of friendship, and these are my friends.''

She said as she introduce herself and her fiends.

''Um, Hello everyone my name is Zeus, nice to meet you all.''

Hey there, sorry about earlier, we usally deal with monsters occasionally, just last month, we had to fight off a bug-bear from destroying the town.''

''oh man, I'm sorry, was anyone badly injured?''

''Any wha? um, no, nopony was badly injured, though, the bugbear did stung me in a certain area, heh heh.''

'' Oh wow, that must of stink, still i'm glad you werent badly injured.''

(blushes)''Heh heh, thanks.''

She said as Zeus gave her a light smile. meanwhile, Twilight and fluttershy both approched to Zeus on the left side of the bed.

''Um..hello, Mr.Dragon.. sir, I just wanted..um..to say um..thank you for saving me.''

The yellow pony shyly said as her mane coverd one side of her face.

Thats right, thank you very much Zeus, as I was on the sidelines coming up with a stradegy to get rid of you, I saw you Lunch yourself toward Fluttershy and supported the building for her to get away, she then explained to us what had happen, so we and a few other ponies, dug you up, brought you to my palace, and had nurse Redheart and the doctor come here to heal your wounds.''

Thank you very much, I appreciate it your hiness, and i'm glad your ok too fluttershy.''

Zeus said, causing her to blush, and all her friends to laugh to themselves.

''Heh heh, your quite welcome, and please, you dont have to be so formal, my friends call me Twilight or Twi for sort, anyone who risks their life to save my friend is a friend to me.''

(lite blush)''oh heh heh thank you Twilight.''

''Its funny, most dragons are horrible and selfish, besides my friend here Spike.''

''Hi there!''

The baby dragon said as he jumped on top of the end of your bed.

''But you, you seem different, you seem to care for others and would risk your life to save another.''

''Well you see your hi-r I mean twilight =, thats the thing, i'm not like other dragons around here, im not even from here.''

Zeus said, as he began to explained to all seven of them how he got to their world.

''You've met Doodle!, oh my goodness! howwashehowshiswifedidhementionmehowshiswigwhatwashedoingdidhe-''

'Woah woah woah, hold on there one word at a time.''

''Ya'll have to excuse are friend here Pinkie, she extremely Hyper.''

''Heh heh I can see that.''

''So this is the pink pony Cranky warned me about. Still, she seems ok.''

Zeus thought to him self.

''Now then Zeus, I am happy to say that we do have a way to send you back to your own home world.''

''Really?! thats awsome!''

''Yeah it is!''

''Yes, I actually have been to your world from time to time.''

''Really, why?''

''Weeell, its a long story, i'll tell you on the way to the portal. Now, if you are not too injured, You can follow me and we'll send you on your way.''  

As Twilight and her friends begin to lead the way, Zeus had a lil issue.

''Um heh heh..um, excuse me guys.''

The ponies then stopped at their trail and turned their attention to Zeus.

''Is something wrong? Are you still badly injured?

''No no its not that its just..uh, I dont have my cloths on...''

''Oh yes my goodness!(blushes red) I m so sorry, in order for the doctor and nurse to treat you, we had to..um(blushes redder)..well remove your cloths in order for them to badage your wounds and remove some splinters.''  

''(blushes)Oh ok, heh heh thats cool, I can just use this here blanket and cover up until I get my cloths back. (awkward smile)''

The rest of the other ponies began to giggle to themselves.

''I dont see whats the big deal anyways? I mean look at me. Im a dragon and I dont have one article of clothing.''

Spike said confidently.

''Come now spike, your still a baby dragon, you wouldnt understand, your still growing while Zeus here is already fully grown.''

Rarity said as she gave Zeus a seducive look and a wink, making him feel nervous and spike a lil jealous

''Yeah! you'll always be are little Spikey wikey.''

''Hey come on. cut it out pinkie.''

Spike said as Zeus coverd himself up, and follow Twilight and her friends to the portal; while injoying Twilights stroy. As the reach the portal Zeus was amazed by the form of the portal, It was a full mirror connected with wires, gears and had a book on top with a cover of the Sun,

''Wow, so this here is the portal.''

''Yes, and by me switching this switch, the portal will then open, leading to your world.''

In doing so, Twilight pulled the switch, thus powering the portal. Zeus then began to say his goodbyes and apoligized for the mix up, the mane five did the same. As they all shared a good laugh, Zeus turned to the portal and made his journey back home.

''It looks like Zeus will finaly be at ease now.''

''You said it sugarcube, I sure he's glad to be back where he belongs.''

''I couldnt agree with you more AJ.''

''Yeah, its too bad though, I didnt get the chance to through him a goodbye party, he would have enjoyed it.''

''Speaking of ''enjoyment'' you were pretty thrilled when we had to help the doc and nurse Redheart in removing his cloaths, Tiiiiilight.''

''(blushes)What! thats absurd Rainbow! I was just trying to..t..trying to.''

Twilight studdered as all of her friends began to mock her and laugh.

''Ok ok, thats enough now. the importin thing is, he is home now, and thats what matters.''

Twilight said as her friends agreed. As Twilight reached for the switch to shut off the power of the portal, in a instant flash, Zeus came crashing back in before Twilight had the chance to turn the power off.

''Zues!!! W..What are you doing back here?''

Twilight said, as the other ponies where in shock as well.

''Um guys, we have a little situation.''
