Tyrant Bird King

Twilight stared at the sleeping creature, sighing wistfully. Although they had caught the creature, the damage was easy to see, and many called for it to be killed. Destroy the greatest find in known history? No way that would happen. Though, they still had to take precautions; large, steel chains were wrapped around the creature while it was asleep.

She started to examine the creature, a quill and parchment ready. She noticed small scars and cuts, made from the battle, seeing how scales started to turn into feathers. It's deep, rumbling snores were felt, vibrating everyone's chests.

She noticed how it's feet looked like a birds, compared to the tree trunks that Spike had. It's arms, though small, looked powerful enough to rip a pony apart. It's jaws held bone crushing teeth, at least the size of a bannana, Twilight guessed.

Spike had now walked up, admiring the creature, then said, "Wow, this is a cool dragon."

"I don't think this is a dragon." Twilight responded, much to the confusion of Spike, who gave her a questioning look. "This creatuure seems to have everything from a bird."

"So, you're telling me, we just captured a large Pewee?" Spike asked, though pain was evident in his voice when he spoke of the young pheonix's name.

"I don't know. But, what I do know is that we need to put it on a preserve."

"Preserve?"

"It's kind of like a zoo, where scientists study creatures and take notes about them."

"I say, we kill it." A voice growled out, gaining the look from both Twilight and Spike.

"Excuse me?"

The gryphon snarled, looking at the creature under his shades, almost as if he were trying to kill it with a glare. "I said, we should kill it!"

"What, why?"

"Did you see what that thing did to us?! It ate us, stepped on us, and crushed us without any trouble!" Claw yelled, snarling unhappily. A loud snort was heard, the creature shifting in it's slumber, alerting everyone in the area. "I say we kill it, and stop this monster right here, right now."

"It's not a monster, it's an animal." Twilight calmly established, though fury shone in her eyes. "It is sentient, but it has to eat meat. He is no more a monster than you or I."

The creature shifted again, however, the only one to notice it was Spike. Spike carefully walked around the arguing Twilight and Claw. Bright Flare and Steel Horns watched with amusement, while Blaze and Long Scope were talking some guards. The creature shifted again, the chains clinking softly.

Spike gently put his clawed hand onto the creature's snout, right between it's nostrils. It inhaled and exhaled, smelling him, the creature shifting again. It's eyes moved under it's eyelids, the creature letting a deep growl erupt from it's throat. Though it was a quiet growl, Spike could feel it through the pads of his feet.

Spike started to scratch it'snose, a growl of happiness erupting from the creature. It started to shirt again, moving into the young dragon's claws, making Spike scratch more. Spike heard the rumbling grow, ad Spike attempted to growl back, though his sounded much less fierce.

"You don't understand what hapened to us! I was litterally eaten! I could see as I went into the creature's mouth before it crushed me with said jaws! I could feel the pain even after I came back!"

"And I'm telling you that it's not evil, just let it roam around! It's obviously not from here, so might as well not harm it! What if it's just a baby?!"

Their yelling had gotten annoying, but Spike was currently scratching the creatures neck, causing a deep, rumbling, purr like sound erupt from it. It's massive eye slowly opened, focusing on Spike. The sound of metal groaning and clinking caught everyone's attention, Spike still scratching it's neck.

It growled happily, before looking at the group, it's joy filled eyes turned to fury filled ones as it slowly tried to stand up. Spike and the others backed away, the guards arming themselves quickly.

"Impossible! I shot enough tranqs in that thing to put a rhino in a coma!" Long Scope gasped out, seeing some of the chains snap and groan. Twilight quickly grabbed Spike, setting him on her back, causing the large creature to glare at her.

"I don't think you shot enough into it!" Bright Flare yelled, backing away. She saw the creature inhale, grabbing her Stetson with a hoof.

It bellowed out a fury filled roar, the final chain snapping off. Guards had surrounded them, enough too make a hydra think twice. However, the creature's eyes narrowed into Twilight's eyes, glaring at her, growling angrily. It clearly didn't like how it took Spike away, and Twilight could tell.

"Retreat to Ponyville, Princess Twiight, we have this!" A guard shouted. Twilight wanted to protest, but it died in her throat when she felt Steel Horns pick her and Spike up.

"Hey!" Twilight yelled in alarm, the Minotaur starting to run, despite the heavy hammer on his back.

"We must retreat. The armored ponies will handle this while we get you to safety."

Blaze was running on all fours beside them, ignoring the look from Spike as she ran past. Claw flew by, his shades reflecting everything in front of them. Bright Flare and Long Scope ran along Steel Horns, ignoring the angry roar behind them.

When he had awoken, he felt a soothing feeling on his snout, leaning into it a little. Something stopped him, feeling cold things wrapped around him, stopping him from moving. His tired mind shrugged it off, leaning into the creature, which was now scratching his nose. It gave a small growl, indicating it was small and young.

Must be a hatchling.

The scratchy feeling moved along his head, then to the back of his neck, causing him to growl happiy, feeling the claws scratch at hard to reach spots in his feathers.

He heard the strange sounds of the mammals nearby, making him want to look over. However, he felt too tired to care, seeing as how the pure pleasure from the young creatures scratching kept him satisfied.

The annoying noise continued on, however, etching into his mind, making him growl. He forced one of his eyes open, before closing it, bright lights hurting it. He gave a pained grunt, before slowly opening his eyes, the noises getting louder.

His eyes focused around the blurry creatures around him, some familiar, others not. The small hatchling was a strange color, mixed with green and purple, and had spikes running down its back. He grunted, feeling annoyed they had awoken him from his slumber, but the young hatchling smiled at him, seeming to be friendly.

He gave a small smile back, then looked over, feeling anger swell in his veins. He tried to stand up, only to feel the cold things press against his back, but, he continued on. Loud, snapping sounds echoed out as he slowly got up, glaring at them. One of them moved, his snout trailing them, then saw it grab the small hatchling, then run back with it, forcing it to ride its back.

They were stealing the young one!

The final, cold thing let it's grip slacken, making him stand over them. He inhaled, glaring at the one who had stolen the hatchling, then said.

"Give back the hatchling!" He yelled out, snorting at them. They only jabbed their pointy sticks towards him, some circling around with the things that threw smaller, sharp sticks. One of the strange, golden mammals turned around, making noises, then looked back at the creature.

The larger mammal took both the hatchling and thief mammal, some other running after it. He glared at them, stepping forward. However, a burning sensation ran through his chest, making him growl angrily, looking down at the mammals. They would pay for stealing the hatchling.

He opened his jaws at one of them flying, biting it's lower half, then swallowed the rest, catching the rest by surprise. He roared at the flying mammals, stepping on another on the ground. He would make these mmmals pay for what they've done.

Captain Fair knew that today would be bad. He had awoken to the sounds of his children arguing downstairs, had spilt most of his coffee, and learnt that a creature had attacked Ponyville, taking about half of his forces with it. He sighed, watching the creature stand up slowly, then give out a bellow of anger. A guard, named Gear, started to fire blue magic at the creature, trying to get it to sleep, though it only angered the creature.

One of his Pegasi guards had gotten too close, and the creature bit onto his hind legs, making him scream. Another bite silenced him, before the creature swallowed him whole.

"Gear! Put some sleep magic on that thing! Four of you, with Gear! The rest of you, we can't let that creature into the town!"

Fair's orders shook the stallions out of their shock, then a few had started to charge, pointing their spears at the creature. However, it stepped on one of the guards, crushing him instanty, it roaring at his Pegasi guards.

Blue magic hit the creature in the chest again, making it glare at them, then roar angrily. It lifted it's foot, then stomped, sending three nearby guards flying. It bit at another guard, then threw him into the air, letting the guard land on his head, killing him instantly. Eight guards behind it suddenly saw it's tail move, then hit them, crushing the ribs and spines, sending them to the guard a couple meters away.

Fair had grabbed his spear, charging at the creature. It's snout lowered, ready to bite Fair. However, some blue magic hit it's head, making it give a bellow of pain. Fair saw his chance, then galloped faster, slamming his spear into the creature's shoulder, making it roar angrily. Fair jabbed it into the creature's skin more, sinking it deeper.

Fair was knocked away with a hit of its head, making him loose his breath. He coughed, trying to get air back to his starving lungs, then looked over. One of the Pegasi was distracting it, flying to and fro, avoiding it's snapping jaws.

It snarled angrily, before starting to walk away, hitting two more guards away, making them hit trees, cracking their bones and killing them. Fair was lucky just to get the wind knocked out of him, then saw Gear run up beside him, helping him onto his hooves.

"Sir, that thing is headed to town, and my magic has almost no effect on it!" gear said, looking at his captain.

"Well, gather up the remaining men and tell them to get the tranq bows." Captain Fair said, seeing the creature's tail disappear between the buildings.

Claw stopped, landing on a nearby building as he did so, arming himself with his net gun. "Angry lizard, four o'clock!" He yelled, before the angry roar followed that statement, making Twilight tap Steel Horns head.

"We need to distract that thing! I have a plan!" Twilight yelled out over the roar, making Steel Horns nod. He put her down, but kept Spike on his arm, much to his surprise. "Blaze, try to distract that thing with some flames. Long Scope and Bright Flare, you're with me!"

As they had gotten in their positions, Spike managed to slip out from Steel Horn, allowing him to arm himself. Spike felt the ground shake, before one of the buildings exploded outwords, and angry bird like creature showing it's toothy maw. It opened it's jaws, releasing a bellow of pure anger.

It walked forward, stopping in front of Steel Horns, who held his hammer at the ready. It snarled at him, before glancing behind him, it's gaze softening when it landed on Spike. It walked towards him slowly, completely ignoring the Minotaur.

"Now!"

That sound made it stop, before a steel net wrapped itself around it's powerful maw, closing it instantly. It gave a muffled, angry roar, tranq arrows slamming into it's side, while powerful sleep magic hit it's other side. It's eyes became drowsy, before a bright light distracted it. Blaze shot flames from her mouth, making the creature back away, giving an alarmed, trumpeting sound from it's throat.

It tore the net off, giving an angry roar, before turning around, slamming it's massive tail into Long Scope, breaking her spine instantly. She fell onto the ground, causing Claw to fly over to check on her.

Claw felt her throat for a sign, anything, to indicate she was alive. He shook his head, sighing unhappily. Steel Horns yelled in anger, charging forward, slamming his hammer onto the creature's maw.

Unfortunately, that tore one of the chained hooks loose, freeing the creature's deadly jaws. In a second, Steel Horns was gone, the creature making a loud crunching sound as it swallowed his carcass whole.

Claw roared, picking up Long Scope's tranq bow, firing arrows into it's littered side. It roared at him, walking towards him, causing him to run towards it, firing arrows onto it's chest. Suddeny, Claw was crushed with over 7 tonnes of weight as it stomped on him, it giving a sickly sound of amusement.

Blaze spit out more fire, catching the creature's attention, it backing away from her. It gave a fearful roar, before she stopped to ctch her breath. A purple beam of magic hit the creature's head, making it give a roar of anger, looking over to Twilight. It's eyes met hers, making the massive creature narrow it's gaze, glaring at her.

She flinched under it's glare, he wings shuffling, then preparing for flight. It gave a loud bellow, then started to turn, looking at Spike. The tiny hatchling gulped in surprise, before readying his legs to run. In an instant, the creature sprung forward with a speed that was unnatural for it's size. Spike began to run, before feeling his tail yanked by a powerful force.

"TWILIGHT!" He screamed out for his adoptive sister, seeing her fear filled eyes, then a beam of magic hit it's side, causing the creature to give her an annoyed growl.

"SPIKE!" She yelled back, before Blaze ran in front of the creature, giving a -what seemed to be- threatening roar, flaring her wings out, distracting the creature.

Bright Flare, who had slipped the creature's notice, pulled a strange red tube out with her hooves, with a white part at the end. She hit the white end off, causing a bright light and a small trail of red colored smoke out.

"Hey!" Bright Fare yelled out, catching the creature's glance. She waved the flare in front of you, seeing it's eyes follow the flare, then give a curious growl.

Spike was hanging upside down, giving a groan from being upside for too long. The creature walked over to Bright Flare, seeing her throw it, it's head following the bright light.

It gave a curious, low, rumbling bellow, following the strange flare of light, taking Spike with him. It's large foot crushed Claw's body again by accident, it's tail disappearing between the buildings.

Twilight stared, dumbstruck as it ran away, her adoptive little brother in it's jaws. She felt her eyes burn as a tear slowly dripped down her cheek. Blaze gave a growl, starting to follow the large footprint the creature left, starting to track it down.

Bright Flare made a move to follow her, before stopping, looking back at the Aicorn Princess. She saw tears tracking down her cheeks, her purple eyes looking where the creature exited.

Steel Horn ran in from the large hole the creature left in the buildings, Claw and Long Scope appearing behind him. Twilight gave a lloud sob, Bright Flare wrapping the Alicorn with a hug, casting the trio with a sad glance.

Suddenly, Twilight felt a fire start to ignite inside of her chest, then quickly opened her wings, pushing Bright Flare away. She quickly took off, giving a snarl as she did so.

She will get Spike back.

She will get her brother back.
