Reddragonby afrofernoChaptersProlougeCh 1Ch 2Ch 3Ch 4ProlougePrincess luna's warm moonlight casted a radiant glow over the land of equestria, every pony and most woodland creatures were calling it a night and getting ready to go sleep. The little fillies and colts were getting tucked in by their mommies or daddies, getting ready for another day. And adult ponies were getting themselves ready for another day too. Most of ponyville's residents were already asleep, or just getting to bed. However a certain lavender alicorn in a certain crystal castle was still up doing last checks on her what to do list for the next day. Her little purple dragon assistant already went to sleep as he usually does for the evening, another hard working day for his caretaker no less. Princess Twilight Sparkle just got done doing her last check ups and was about to go to bed herself when she suddenly saw a bolt of lightning struck the ground in the middle of the everfree forest followed by a bright goldish red light which made a sizzling sound throughout the forest and town. Twilight gasped at what she saw "what was that!" she quietly whispered as she never let her gaze leave the everfree, which now had a trail of smoke going up in the sky at the middle. She wanted to go and investigate but decided not to. Despite she was a powerful princess, the everfree forest was a dangerous place to go to, especially at night. "Looks like i know what i'm doing in the morning" she said to herself as she trotted to bed with that strange light still in her head. (Meanwhile) In the middle of the everfree forest there was smoke forming in the middle of a small crater with electricity sparking around the smoke. Inside the smoke a soft deep grunt could be heard as a shadow slowly emerged from the black smoke, rubbing his hand hand over his head and his waist was sparking with electricity as a strange belt device fell from his waist and blew up into flames. " Well, looks i'm stranded here"! spoke a deep voiced young man. Ah hell!, guess i'll start my mission and figure out where i am later" the man sighed. Then growls could be heard from behind the man and the sound of twigs moving together and bushes making rustling sounds, as the slowly turned his head halfway to look towards the noise. What he saw apart from a few destroyed trees were a bunch of glowing green eyes staring right at him as the eyes began to move closer and the growls became louder. "Well now" The man said with a bit of interest." looks like i stumbled into hornet's nest!" the man chuckled to himself as the eyes finally came into the light to the light to reveal about 15 Timberwolves starting at their pray. The man's eyes began to glow a bright green color," i hope no one is watching because i'm about to make some charcoal out of some wild wood wolves!" he said darkly as he raised his left arm slightly and clenched his hand to form a fist. Suddenly his entire left arm caught fire and a small red glowing dragon could be seen on the shadowy man's left cheek. The attackers were taken back a bit but began advancing once again with more aggression. The man began to smile, showing off his sharp teeth as his glowing red dragon began to glow brighter. " LET'S BURN THINGS UP!" he yelled as he spun his body around with a lot of speed. Now facing his attackers he pulled back his blazing arm, and with one more dark grin on his face, launched it forward launching a fireball at the wooden wolves and causing an explosion to be echoed into the night. Once the explosion died down, all that remained of the 15 Timberwolves were nothing but ashes burning on the ground. The man put his arm back to his side and ceased the fire on it. "I've not been in this new place for five minutes and already i'm getting a hostile welcoming committee!" he said with an annoyed voice. "Well i'd better get moving, but which way?" the man began looking around the forest for any ideas on which direction to head to. "Hey, i see a castle over there, looks like i'll head over there." The man finally stepped into to some light to reveal his appearance. He had long black hair which went down his shoulders and slightly past the middle of his back, with the front of it just barely reaching his eyes. He had mixed race skin, with dark black eyes. On his left cheek a red dragon tattoo was barely visible behind his hair. He wore a long black trench coat with some belt straps around the arms and some zips right by the wrists. on the back of his coat rested a long black and red staff with a red triple blade at each end held to his back by a black strap. He wore black fingerless gloves on his hands, long black baggy combat trousers with black kneepads and a combat rambo case facing down his right leg. To finish off his outfit he wore dark gray steel toe cap boots. So this man was dressed for combat. As he was about to make his move he heard growls around him again, and then a giant Manticore came trekking towards him from a bush. "Really?" the man said with a very unamused look on his face. " A lion with a scorpion tale, how original" he finished with a facepalm. The giant Manticore than let out a sudden deafening roar which made the man's long black hair blow all over the place, revealing a pair of shiny reddish green goggles on his forehead. When the Manticore stopped its roar, it looked over at its prey standing in front of it and it began attacking him with its tale, with intent to kill. The man simply jumped backwards a few feet, dodging the stinger tale which struck the ground and a hole. He then began to raise his arms slightly, and bend his fingers making his hands look like claws and then he set his hands ablaze. He looked at the Manticore with that same smile on his face he had before showing off his sharp teeth. His eyes began to glow green once again and his red dragon tattoo began to glow once again. " Let's see if you can last longer than those useless planks" as the man lunged towards the large beast before him, and another loud roar echoed through the night. Ch 1An explosion rocked in the forest, destroying several trees and other nearby objects unfortunate to get caught in the crossfire of what just transpired. Castro slid against the dirt ground as he came out a smoke ball that was slowly forming in a middle of a small crater. " Well damn it, he said to himself, that's gonna get unwanted attention for sure!" he finished while clicking his neck and stretching his arms. "remind me to warm up next time i let loose, otherwise i won't be able to control all collateral damage" he looked around at his surroundings as he eyed some destroyed trees that were laying down with broken branches charred wood on most parts. The smoke finally cleared in the middle and behold it was not a pretty sight. What remained of the once proud mighty manticore was now a pile of of meat, charred and roasted beyond recognition, even one of its paws just fell of because it was burned so bad. It did not leave a pleasant smell either but Castro was used to it, after all being able to have control over fire meant burning your enemies to a crisp and leaving a stench afterwards. Castro laid his now calm eyes over the fallen beast and thought to himself (Seriously... a lion with a scorpion tale and wolves made of sticks and twigs just begging to be burned by me, what the hell is up with this place?) He then began to look around again looking for any more sigh of trouble that might come his way. When nothing showed, he sighed in relief. "That was honestly a waste of my time, i did not come here to waist my time fighting cartoon creatures!! i'm here on a mission!. he finished speaking to himself as he slowly turned away from the carcass of the Manticore and began heading deeper into the forest. "Of all places why here? he began speaking to himself. It does not matter where we end up Alexei i will find you and destroy you, and all who stand in my way of vengeance!!" he added the last part with a hint of anger in his voice. Castro came into another space of the forest and again slowly looking around once again. "This would be an ideal place to set up camp" He finished as began walking towards some trees and stopped in front of some stuck together. He slowly raised his right arm to grab the weapon that is resting on his back. Once he got a firm grip on the black handle, very slowly he pulled out the staff out of its straps and brought it over his head. Once the weapon was was fully over his head he lowered it over slightly to the ground, and stood it up. The weapon just about stood taller than Castro but that did not matter, he was more than strong enough to wield it with mastery. He tilted the weapon slightly and got into a fighting stance. With a deep breath he raised the weapon over his head again and then with blinding speed, begun spinning the staff around his hands with such ease and mastery, and with impressive speed, the red blades looked like a blur for how fast it was being spun, then with a sudden swing, Castro sliced the weapon through the tree. Easily slicing some branches clean off. The cut branches flew in the air, spinning and twisting in all directions. Castro breathed slowly and gently as he raised his weapon once again, and with another swift movement of his arm, he cut the flying branches into pieces as they fell into a small pile on the forest floor. Castro put his weapon back into the strap on his back and looked over his work. "Not bad" he said to himself. He walked up the pile and extended his right arm slightly with his palm open, then he shot a small fire ball out of his palm which was powerful enough to ignite the piled wood and set them ablaze. Castro set himself down in front of his little fire and started undoing the buttons on his trench coat, revealing a plain bright shirt underneath. His well toned body slightly shown through his shirt, revealing his well defined abs. He took his coat off showing the rest of his white shirt which was a long sleeved t-shirt. His arms were nice and muscular as well. Castro's body was built like a professional wrestler's, he clearly worked out and trained hard to attain a body like his. He sat quietly and stared at the small campfire he made with his eyes slightly glowing green. Then flashbacks began playing in his mind. (You won't get away with this Alexei , i will hunt you down and destroy you if it's the last thing i do. He started firing fireballs at a shadowy figure in front of him, but the figure just deflected them effortlessly and the fireballs exploded on the walls, causing a fire alarm to go off and smoke started to form in the room Castro and Alexei were in. An evil laughter could be heard as Alexei stood over Castro on a platform looking down at him. "C'mon Castro. Why the long face?" he chuckled out loud. Castro's answer however came in the form of another fireball flying towards the shadow man. He simply moved his body to the left as the fireball flew right past him, causing another explosion behind him. Alexei just rolled his white eyes at Castro's attempt to attack him. "You fool! he laughed, did you think it would be that easy!!". He finished with a evil grin on his face. "Oh don't worry, i came prepared castro said, you see those were just warm up shots. Now comes the real DEAL!!!" Castro yelled. "Bring it!" Alexei spoke darkly with an evil grin still on his shadowy face. And with that Castro shot a bolt of lightning out of his palm. Alexei deflected the attack back to Castro who just swatted the lightning with his arm and it went flying towards the other side of the room, crashing into some crates and shattering them to pieces. Alexei shot some black balls towards Castro which flew fast towards him. He dodged to the left as the balls crashed into the floor, creating small holes were they crashed. Castro began swinging his arms, firing fireballs towards his enemy, but Alexei deflected every one of his attacks and launched another black ball with his other hand. Castro did not see this attack coming and it collided with his stomach. Alexei clicked his fingers and the black ball blew up, causing Castro to get knocked into a bunch of crates. He skidded against the metal floor as he crashed into a big metal beam in the middle of the room. Alexei zipped into the air and continued his assault, firing more black balls towards Castro and causing them to blow up right in front of him, forming a giant smoke. Alexei seized his attacks and he rested his arms behind his back and stayed afloat in mid air looking on at the smoke in front of him. First nothing happened. "Well it looks like i win" Alexei grinned wickedly, but then out of the smoke came flying Castro who turned his entire body on fire. Alexei tried to brace himself but Castro was to fast for him and he nailed a vicious right hand on the shadow man's face which exploded on impact, causing Alexei to get sent flying back and through glass with a small smoke trail forming. Alexei skidded against the floor bet he recovered quickly and flipped himself back to his feet. Alexei quickly brushed himself off and looked towards the shattered glass now in front of him and saw Castro flying towards him once again. This time Alexei was ready for it. He moved his arm forward and shot a black ball towards Castro and it exploded on impact making him slow down his charge and skid his feet against the floor. Alexei then formed a small black black hole in his palm and it sucked Castro towards him fast, he then swung his other arm forward with force as he closelined Castro's neck and sent him flying back and crashing into the ground. Castro slowly got himself back to his feet coughing and breathing hard. He looked forward and saw Alexei with both his shadowy arms stretched in front of him. "THINK FAST!" he yelled as he fired a black blast out of his palms towards Castro. He cartwheeled out of the way just in the nick of time as the deadly attack went straight past him and out the shattered glass, causing some of them to turn to dust. Castro drew his weapon and once again charged towards the shadowy Alexei. Castro snapped out of his flashback like trance and stared at his campfire with a deadly glare. "Your time is running out!" he said in a dark quiet voice as he shifted his gaze towards the stars. Ch 2Morning has hit ponyville, Celestia's sun was slowly rising in the sky, casting its warm glow soft light over the peaceful town. Inside the castle in the middle of town princess Twilight was slowly stirring from her slumber. She looked a mess. Her mane was all over the place, she had dark black marks under her eyes, and she very wobbly but carefully got out of her bed. She trotted towards her mirror on her night stand. When she got there she inspected herself and gave out a soft sigh. "What was those loud explosion sounds last night?" she quietly said to herself. She finished brushing her mane and applying some makeup to cover her sleep marks around her eyes, then she walked over to her bedroom window to gaze over at the everfree forest. "I got to find out what that strange light was last night, and i bet it was linked to those explosiones i heard last night too, plus i bet i was not the only one who heard last night's commotion" Twilight spoke to herself. She trotted out of her room down the castle hall towards her little dragon's room. She stopped outside his door and began to raise a hoof towards the door to push it open. She poked her head inside the room to see a bunch of comics scattered all over the place and some of his special gem collection all over the floof. Twilight gasped at this and she opened the door fully to enter the messy room. When she did she heard soft whimpering and small crying, this shocked Twilight and she looked towards the bed to see a shivering lump underneath the bed cover's. Twilight wore a look of worry and sadness as she saw this and she trotted over towards the bed and she slowly moved the cover off the lump to reveal her little dragon lying in a fetal position crying softly and shaking a little. Twilight's heart broke at this site. She knew Spike would've been terrified at what happened last night, after all it scared her too. She slowly sat on her haunches and raised her front hooves towards the bed and underneath Spike's small form. She lifted him very gently and brought him to her chest where she cradled him. Spike's shaking instantly stopped along with his crying and he opened his eyes to see the caring eyes of his caretaker looking down at him with a gentle smile on her face. "Tw-Twilight!" Spike managed to say in a shaky voice. "It's alright Spike, it's over" Twilight said gently. "I was scared!, i had no idea what was happening, i thought we were being attacked by something." "It's going to be ok Spike, me and the others are going to look into last night's event, so don't worry, whatever it was, you can expect it wont go without a royale lecture!" Twilight said. "You girls gotta be careful." Spike said as he wrapped his arms around twilight's neck for a gentle hug. Twilight smiled warmly and she bent down and started nuzzling his cheek. "Of course we will spike. now you go and get yourself something to eat and check on starlight for me" She finished as she let Spike go. "Of course Twilight" Spike gave her a quick salute and jogged out of his room down the hall towards the kitchen. Twilight looked over at Spike one last time, and thought about last night's event again.(What could've caused those explosions and why! i mean what if spike is right and it is someone or something attacking us or was about to.) Twilight shook her head and focused at the task at hand. (First i need to go to Fluttershy, she lives closest to the forest and most likely heard the explosions last night too!. Then i can round up the other girls in the main room of my castle and decide what their move should be.!) With a plan already set Twilight teleported out of Spike's room and headed towards her friend's cottage. (Meanwhile) Outside the giant crystal castle stood Castro who was gazing up at the shiny crystal building with a confused look on his face. " Why a castle made of crystal is a thing here i don't know, but if i want any leads i might as well talk to someone important". And with that said he walked towards the castle door and gave it a rough knock. A few moments later Spike who heard the knock decided to go towards the door to answer it. (Who could that be this early) the young drake thought. He got to the door and pushed it open. What he saw standing outside almost gave him a heart attack and it also made him scream. "OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!" Ch 3"OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!. Was all Castro said when he saw the little dragon at the door of the castle screaming and having a panic attack. Castro swiftly crouched down and placed his big hand over Spike's little mouth to shush him and calm him down a bit. Safe to say that did not work as Spike was now more terrified than calm and he decided to do something brave and stupid. He fired his little fire breath in Castro's hand hoping to burn him a little but that did not work as Castro moved his hand which was now on fire away from Spike's mouth and simply blew it out, which surprised the dragon greatly, and it managed to silence him for a bit. Castro moved his gaze from his hand back to Spike and proceeded to ask him a very important question. "Hey little dragon, is there any important people in this castle i could speak to?" he asked. Spike gulped at the question." You wont find any people around here" he spoke nervously. Castro narrowed his eyes a little." What do you mean by that? "I'm afraid that apart from family and you, there are no other humans in the land!" Spike spoke nervously. Castro immediately facepalmed and sighed very heavily. This made spike feel even more nervous. "Ok kid, Where am i and who could i speak to that is very important." He eyed the crystal castle. "Oh um, you are in the magical land of Equestria which is ruled by two very powerful princesses, but this here castle is also home to another princess named Twilight sparkle who is the princess of friendship and leader of the elements of harmony!. Spike finished with a bright smile on his face. Castro however looked very pale and worried. "So not only did i encounter wood wolves and Lions with scorpion tales, but now i'm speaking to a baby dragon with an odd colour scheme, but he also tells me that i'm only one of two humans in this weird land which has princesses as its rulers.. I'm begining to wonder if i teleported to some new disney movie which i now ruined." "Umm sir, are you ok?. Spike asked very worriedly. Castro looked at the small dragon with a straight face. "Yeah kid, i'm great!" "Ok i-i'm glad!. Spike smiled a little. "By the way kid- "Its Spike by the way." "Excuse me?" Castro said with an odd look. "My name Mr". "Oh..Right..Sure whatever. Castro said dryly. Anyway, Spike, you said that i was only one of two humans here!. So two questions. 1. The other human you said that is here, is he an adult with white hair by any chance?". "No sir, the other human here is a child. Who is also family. "Yep, of course he is!. Castro frowned. "Ok question 2. What species inhabit this land?" Castro asked very nervously. Well Mr. Equestria has many different species living here, ranging from dragons, to diamond dogs, and griffons. But mostly ponies inhabit towns all the land. Spike spoke with a small smile on his face. But the same could not be said about Castro who had a thousand yard look on his face. "So not only that the other human resident here is a little child, but PONIES MOSTLY INHABIT THIS LAND!!. Plus that puts me to square zero, i have no lead on Alexei's whereabouts." Castro sighed with his face in both his hands. Spike stared at the frustrated human for some time with a worried look on his face. "Umm Excuse me sir. Why are you upset that ponies live here?. Castro turned his head sharply to the little dragon who recoiled back a bit and also saw a glimpse of the red dragon mark on his cheek that was mostly hidden by his long hair." Listen kid, i'm here for a very important mission i can't share with you right now, but i will say this. Castro crouched down in front of the little dragon. My mission is very dangerous and i don't want anyone to get involved in it for their own safety, even though everyone here are animals." He finished while resting his hand on Spike's head giving his thrills a little rub. Even though Spike was scared, he actually enjoyed his head being rubbed, and that this human actually had a decent heart. Castro got up and stood tall above the small dragon and gave him a little smile. "Well kid, i'll be heading off now. The sooner i can get my mission done, the quicker i can leave this land and be free". Castro then turned his back towards Spike and was about to leave but the little dragon called out to him. "Hey Mr you- he was cut off. "The name's Castro kid, Castro Reddragon!". And with that said, he continued to walk away towards the forest once again. Spike watched him walk away and he had all these questions in his head about the mysterious human he encountered. "Gosh what do i tell Twilight and the girls when i see them." Spike then went back into the castle and closed the doors behind him. (Meanwhile) Twilight and the girls were running through town towards the castle of friendship. "So any ideas on what last night's commotion was about?" Applejack asked. "Whatever it was we will find it and i'll buck into next week!". Rainbow dash followed up while smashing her hooves together. "Gosh Rainbow darling, must you always resolve things in violence!". Rarity added while rolling her eyes. Pinkie was hopping along the others with a giddy grin on her face. "If it's an evil animal menie i'll send it flying with my party cannon!!" she said as she pulled her party cannon out of nowhere. Fluttershy remained quiet the entire time as she was a nervous wreck, who could blame her, out of all the residents of ponyville she lived closest to the everfree forest so no doubt she heard last night's explosiones as well. Twilight was leading the girls towards her castle with determination in her eyes. "C'mon girls we are almost there." The other 5 elements gave a swift nod of their heads as they quickened their pace towards the library. Back at the castle Spike was in the middle of preparing breakfast for himself and the girls for when they arrive back at the castle. But he was still deep in thought about the recent visitor he spoke to a few moment ago. He couldn't help but wonder who he truly was, how he got to Equestria, what kind of mission was he on, and the thing that bothered Spike the most about him was that dragon mark on his face. Back when Spike first saw it he did not want to say anything about it, but he can't get that image out of his head. While spike was lost in thought another unicorn mare entered the kitchen, she has a pink coat with a purple and teal mane and she had a purple and white star with two glimmering blue streaks for a cutie mark. She looked over at spike and trotted up to him. "Hey there Spike good morning" she greeted him with a smile. This caused spike to snap out of his thought and made him jump a bit "ohh hey there Starlight i never heard you come in what's up?" he asked her with a nervous smile on his face. Starlight was about to answer when she noticed the nervousness in Spike's voice. "Hey Spike dear, are you feeling ok?" Starlight asked with concern on her face. Spike gulped slightly and twiddled with his claws slightly " hey starlight i need to te-" "SPIKE STARLIGHT I'M HOME!" Spike was cut off as Twilight's voice echoed through the castle. "Great" spoke spike in a very quiet voice. "COMING IN JUST A MOMENT TWILIGHT!" Starlight yelled back. She then turned her gaze towards the little dragon. "Listen Spike what's bo-" Spike shushed her by placing a claw on her mouth. "Hey go to the others and i'll catch up in a sec" Starlight gave him a look of worry for a moment, then it turned into a soft smile. " Alright Spike i will go to the others, but later on me and you are going to have a little chat!". Starlight hugged him then trotted out the kitchen towards the main room. Spike just sighed heavily and turned around to stare out the kitchen window towards everfree. (well, here goes nothing!) he thought to himself as he started to walk towards the main room to join the others with Castro reddragon still on his mind. Ch 4Castro walked towards the everfree forest with a lot of information on his mind. He just had an encounter with a baby dragon who was actually very bright and gave a lot of information on where he is. But it also made him feel very uneasy and worried. Not only the other human here a child, but he has no clue where Alexei could be or if he is even here to begin with. Castro got more and more frustrated as he thought about the possibilities of him being teleported to a wrong dimension separated from his target and with no possible way of returning back to his own realm. "THIS CAN NOT BEEEE!!!!" Castro yelled with such fury that his hair glowed a faint reddish gold color and his dragon mark began to glow once again. Castro immediately calmed himself down once he realised the devastating effects his anger has on his surrounding. He took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. To help himself totally relax he found a clearing in the middle of the forest and headed towards it. He stopped and looked around his surroundings to make sure everything was ok and there was no animals or other threats watching him. He slowly took of his coat and laid it on the ground. He raised his right arm slightly so his hand was in front of his face and he ignited it creating a gentle flame. Then with a quick movement of his hand he threw the flame in a circle formation, creating a small ring of fire around himself. Once the flame circle was completed he reached into one of his pant pockets and pulled a mobile phone and a pair of headphones. He set himself on the ground in a meditation position and turned on his phone. He put his headphones on and he clicked a song for him to listen too as he began to meditate. Youtube Video Then another flashback happened. ( Castro was running along the top of some mountain tops with a death frown on his face. Not to far in front of him was a sheer drop which leads to a train track far far below with a train going along the right side of the track. Castro gritted his teeth as he saw the train speeding along and decided to jump off the mountain edge straight towards the speeding train. Castro pencil dived towards the track with great speed as he kept his eyes on the train. He slowly realised that he needed more speed in order to catch the train. He slowly put both his arms in front of him and opened his hands,Then he shot a short jet of fire out of them which propelled him fast towards the speeding train. Castro was catching up with the speeding train as he was intensifying the small jet flames that was coming out of both his palms to go faster and faster. Eventually Castro was nearing the end of the train but he could not grab on with his hands as they were currently busy, so he had to be a bit reckless and use one final burst of flame which flung him even closer to the train. When Castro was close enough to his target he ducked his head towards his stomach and bent his knees slightly as he landed on the train in a forward roll position and skidded along the top of the speeding train. Casro struggled a little to regain his balance as he was skidding fast along the top of the train. Castro was nearing a gap in between the train which was getting closer and closer very quickly and eventually he was only a few feet away from falling into the gap and being flung off the train. (If i don't think of anything fast i'm a wasted man!!) Castro thought to himself as he was closing in on the gap. Then Castro thought of something that could help him in this situation. He vaulted himself forward and he did a handstand right on the edge of the train, then with a lot of physical power he pushed himself off the train and did a front flip and landed on the other side of the gap in between the train in a crouching position. Castro wiped his forehead of some sweat "man that was too close !" he looked at the gap behind him and sighed in relief. Meanwhile Inside the train seated on the passenger seats there were armed men dressed in all black combat suites and they had combat helmets on their heads covering their faces. They were also armed with assault rifles, snipers, smgs, pistols, and combat knives, so these guys were dressed for war. On the back of each uniform the men had there was three letters spelling W.F.N. on them, so these men belonged to some sort of organisation. Most of them got startled by the sudden noise above the train that occurred moments ago and some of them even got up to poke their guns on the roof of the speeding train. "Hey what do you think that was?" asked one of the soldiers poking his gun on the roof. "Who knows? it was probably a rock shaken loose from the mountain we are speeding past." said a more relaxed soldier. "I don't know, i'm feeling nervous all of a sudden". The 1st soldier repeated. "HAA! you rookie you need to sto-. But the 2nd soldier was cut off by a loud bang and death scream coming from one of the other soldier's on the train. This got everyone else's attention and they looked towards the source where the sound came from, but what they saw sent a grizzly chill down their spines and even caused some of the weaker minded ones to start gagging. In the middle of the train cart, Castro punched a hole through the roof and landed on a unsuspecting soldier and crushed his head in with his fist, forming an a big pool of blood to form around his now deformed shaped dead head. Castro very slowly raised his head to look around the the train and gaze at all the terrified soldiers in the train cart. Castro got himself off the dead body keeping his gaze on his enemies in front him. He raised both his hands in front of his face and clicked all his finger bones with a death glare forming on his face. "This is a hostile takeover....prepare to burn"Castro spoke in a dark voice that sent chills up some of the soldiers spines. But the ones who remained strong instantly withdrew their closest weapons and took aim for Castro who was now withdrawing his double bladed staff and his combat rambo. "ALRIGHT MEN OPEN FIRE!!!" and with that, all the soldiers open fired on Castro. Castro begun to swing his bladed staff in one arm and deflected some bullets that was being shot at him, he then lunged towards a soldier who was trying not to get friendly fired and cut the top half of his body clean of from his bottom half and blood began gushing out everywhere. Castro then threw his rambo with his other arm and it impaled another soldier's head instantly killing him. Castro then kicked a fireball out of his foot towards a group of soldiers and it set them on fire, causing a death scream out of them. He then went towards another group of soldiers and began slicing away with his other weapon, decapitating some soldiers and causing other body parts to start flying all over the place, painting the train windows red. Castro then ran towards another group and picked up his rambo along the way and he sliced a soldier's head in half and some lumps of his brain fell on the train floor causing some soldiers to physically throw of their helmets and throw up. This gave Castro an opening and delivered a violent death to the unsuspecting soldiers. Once Castro dispatched the remaining soldiers, he cleaned both blades of his weapons and withdrew them, he then looked around and saw the massacre he just committed. Their where body parts scattered everywhere, pools of blood on the floor, scattered on the windows and ceilings. Castro closed his eyes and took a deep breath,relaxing his inner demon. "Now you feel my pain, my sorrow, and my rage!" Castro walked towards the hole he used to enter the train cart, stepping over dead bodies and body parts along the way, and then jumped out. Meanwhile standing on a cliff watching from a distance was a individual. This individual was wearing a silver mask with a black fang like pattern under the mask's eyes, and through the eyes of the mask, a pair of white reptile like eyes can be seen piercing through the gaps.The individual was wearing a long black hooded robe with the hood up and a silver scorpion design on the back. The bottom part of the robe split into two revealing a pair of very baggy white pants with the bottom half tucked into a pair of black fiorentini boots. The individual's arms were tucked into the robe's sleeves, and to finish the outfit was a long white scarf around the individual's neck flowing in the wind. "Hehe.. i found you..blood dragon." Spoke the individual, who was a male. "Let's have some fun" and with that said he leaped forward towards the train and his target. Castro was currently walking towards another cart when he suddenly heard a loud thud some distance behind him. He turned his head swiftly to the source but as he did he saw a long silver tail like blade coming right at him. Castro moved his head to the side just in time as the blade went straight past his face and withdrew back. "What the hell!!" Yelled Castro. "Hello blood dragon, i see you have been a very bad reptile". Spoke the masked man with an amusing tone "STINGRAY, so you made it after all, and on time too, i was starting to think you would not show." Castro said with a dark smile on his face. "Hehehe, your not gonna find Alexei on this train, in fact this was a trap to lure you out, but to think, you actually made quite the messy mess" Stingray looked down at the cart knowing what happened inside. "You could of done so well on our side." " Well that's too bad, coz i have to kill you and your boss to be free from my curse." "You make that sound soooo simple" Stingray shrugged. " What will you gain from killing us?" DON'T PLAY THAT GAME WITH ME!! Castro yelled, you know full well what you did! to pearl town, t-to HER!! ALL GONE NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!!"Castro almost on the brink of tears. "So don't go there!" Castro glared at Stingray. Stingray gave a low chuckle, "but it feels so good to hear you speak of my accomplishments, and your pain. "GAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Castro yelled like a wild beast. His eyes began to glow green, his teeth began to sharpen, his dragon mark began to glow red, and his hair was slowly going up. Castro drew his double bladed weapon and lunged towards Stingray. "YOU FUCKER!!! I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFERRRRR!!!" Castro roared. "HAHAHAHA,I WILL EMBRACE YOUR RAGE WITH AN OPEN BLACK HEART, NOW LET'S DANCE!!" Stingray lunged towards Castro. End of flashback. Castro opened his eyes with sweat dripping down his face, he got up from the ground, put on his coat and took out his headphones and put them away. He stood there in the middle of the fire staring into space thinking about his recent flashback. "I will avenge you all" He simply said as he walked away.
ProlougePrincess luna's warm moonlight casted a radiant glow over the land of equestria, every pony and most woodland creatures were calling it a night and getting ready to go sleep. The little fillies and colts were getting tucked in by their mommies or daddies, getting ready for another day. And adult ponies were getting themselves ready for another day too. Most of ponyville's residents were already asleep, or just getting to bed. However a certain lavender alicorn in a certain crystal castle was still up doing last checks on her what to do list for the next day. Her little purple dragon assistant already went to sleep as he usually does for the evening, another hard working day for his caretaker no less. Princess Twilight Sparkle just got done doing her last check ups and was about to go to bed herself when she suddenly saw a bolt of lightning struck the ground in the middle of the everfree forest followed by a bright goldish red light which made a sizzling sound throughout the forest and town. Twilight gasped at what she saw "what was that!" she quietly whispered as she never let her gaze leave the everfree, which now had a trail of smoke going up in the sky at the middle. She wanted to go and investigate but decided not to. Despite she was a powerful princess, the everfree forest was a dangerous place to go to, especially at night. "Looks like i know what i'm doing in the morning" she said to herself as she trotted to bed with that strange light still in her head. (Meanwhile) In the middle of the everfree forest there was smoke forming in the middle of a small crater with electricity sparking around the smoke. Inside the smoke a soft deep grunt could be heard as a shadow slowly emerged from the black smoke, rubbing his hand hand over his head and his waist was sparking with electricity as a strange belt device fell from his waist and blew up into flames. " Well, looks i'm stranded here"! spoke a deep voiced young man. Ah hell!, guess i'll start my mission and figure out where i am later" the man sighed. Then growls could be heard from behind the man and the sound of twigs moving together and bushes making rustling sounds, as the slowly turned his head halfway to look towards the noise. What he saw apart from a few destroyed trees were a bunch of glowing green eyes staring right at him as the eyes began to move closer and the growls became louder. "Well now" The man said with a bit of interest." looks like i stumbled into hornet's nest!" the man chuckled to himself as the eyes finally came into the light to the light to reveal about 15 Timberwolves starting at their pray. The man's eyes began to glow a bright green color," i hope no one is watching because i'm about to make some charcoal out of some wild wood wolves!" he said darkly as he raised his left arm slightly and clenched his hand to form a fist. Suddenly his entire left arm caught fire and a small red glowing dragon could be seen on the shadowy man's left cheek. The attackers were taken back a bit but began advancing once again with more aggression. The man began to smile, showing off his sharp teeth as his glowing red dragon began to glow brighter. " LET'S BURN THINGS UP!" he yelled as he spun his body around with a lot of speed. Now facing his attackers he pulled back his blazing arm, and with one more dark grin on his face, launched it forward launching a fireball at the wooden wolves and causing an explosion to be echoed into the night. Once the explosion died down, all that remained of the 15 Timberwolves were nothing but ashes burning on the ground. The man put his arm back to his side and ceased the fire on it. "I've not been in this new place for five minutes and already i'm getting a hostile welcoming committee!" he said with an annoyed voice. "Well i'd better get moving, but which way?" the man began looking around the forest for any ideas on which direction to head to. "Hey, i see a castle over there, looks like i'll head over there." The man finally stepped into to some light to reveal his appearance. He had long black hair which went down his shoulders and slightly past the middle of his back, with the front of it just barely reaching his eyes. He had mixed race skin, with dark black eyes. On his left cheek a red dragon tattoo was barely visible behind his hair. He wore a long black trench coat with some belt straps around the arms and some zips right by the wrists. on the back of his coat rested a long black and red staff with a red triple blade at each end held to his back by a black strap. He wore black fingerless gloves on his hands, long black baggy combat trousers with black kneepads and a combat rambo case facing down his right leg. To finish off his outfit he wore dark gray steel toe cap boots. So this man was dressed for combat. As he was about to make his move he heard growls around him again, and then a giant Manticore came trekking towards him from a bush. "Really?" the man said with a very unamused look on his face. " A lion with a scorpion tale, how original" he finished with a facepalm. The giant Manticore than let out a sudden deafening roar which made the man's long black hair blow all over the place, revealing a pair of shiny reddish green goggles on his forehead. When the Manticore stopped its roar, it looked over at its prey standing in front of it and it began attacking him with its tale, with intent to kill. The man simply jumped backwards a few feet, dodging the stinger tale which struck the ground and a hole. He then began to raise his arms slightly, and bend his fingers making his hands look like claws and then he set his hands ablaze. He looked at the Manticore with that same smile on his face he had before showing off his sharp teeth. His eyes began to glow green once again and his red dragon tattoo began to glow once again. " Let's see if you can last longer than those useless planks" as the man lunged towards the large beast before him, and another loud roar echoed through the night.
Ch 1An explosion rocked in the forest, destroying several trees and other nearby objects unfortunate to get caught in the crossfire of what just transpired. Castro slid against the dirt ground as he came out a smoke ball that was slowly forming in a middle of a small crater. " Well damn it, he said to himself, that's gonna get unwanted attention for sure!" he finished while clicking his neck and stretching his arms. "remind me to warm up next time i let loose, otherwise i won't be able to control all collateral damage" he looked around at his surroundings as he eyed some destroyed trees that were laying down with broken branches charred wood on most parts. The smoke finally cleared in the middle and behold it was not a pretty sight. What remained of the once proud mighty manticore was now a pile of of meat, charred and roasted beyond recognition, even one of its paws just fell of because it was burned so bad. It did not leave a pleasant smell either but Castro was used to it, after all being able to have control over fire meant burning your enemies to a crisp and leaving a stench afterwards. Castro laid his now calm eyes over the fallen beast and thought to himself (Seriously... a lion with a scorpion tale and wolves made of sticks and twigs just begging to be burned by me, what the hell is up with this place?) He then began to look around again looking for any more sigh of trouble that might come his way. When nothing showed, he sighed in relief. "That was honestly a waste of my time, i did not come here to waist my time fighting cartoon creatures!! i'm here on a mission!. he finished speaking to himself as he slowly turned away from the carcass of the Manticore and began heading deeper into the forest. "Of all places why here? he began speaking to himself. It does not matter where we end up Alexei i will find you and destroy you, and all who stand in my way of vengeance!!" he added the last part with a hint of anger in his voice. Castro came into another space of the forest and again slowly looking around once again. "This would be an ideal place to set up camp" He finished as began walking towards some trees and stopped in front of some stuck together. He slowly raised his right arm to grab the weapon that is resting on his back. Once he got a firm grip on the black handle, very slowly he pulled out the staff out of its straps and brought it over his head. Once the weapon was was fully over his head he lowered it over slightly to the ground, and stood it up. The weapon just about stood taller than Castro but that did not matter, he was more than strong enough to wield it with mastery. He tilted the weapon slightly and got into a fighting stance. With a deep breath he raised the weapon over his head again and then with blinding speed, begun spinning the staff around his hands with such ease and mastery, and with impressive speed, the red blades looked like a blur for how fast it was being spun, then with a sudden swing, Castro sliced the weapon through the tree. Easily slicing some branches clean off. The cut branches flew in the air, spinning and twisting in all directions. Castro breathed slowly and gently as he raised his weapon once again, and with another swift movement of his arm, he cut the flying branches into pieces as they fell into a small pile on the forest floor. Castro put his weapon back into the strap on his back and looked over his work. "Not bad" he said to himself. He walked up the pile and extended his right arm slightly with his palm open, then he shot a small fire ball out of his palm which was powerful enough to ignite the piled wood and set them ablaze. Castro set himself down in front of his little fire and started undoing the buttons on his trench coat, revealing a plain bright shirt underneath. His well toned body slightly shown through his shirt, revealing his well defined abs. He took his coat off showing the rest of his white shirt which was a long sleeved t-shirt. His arms were nice and muscular as well. Castro's body was built like a professional wrestler's, he clearly worked out and trained hard to attain a body like his. He sat quietly and stared at the small campfire he made with his eyes slightly glowing green. Then flashbacks began playing in his mind. (You won't get away with this Alexei , i will hunt you down and destroy you if it's the last thing i do. He started firing fireballs at a shadowy figure in front of him, but the figure just deflected them effortlessly and the fireballs exploded on the walls, causing a fire alarm to go off and smoke started to form in the room Castro and Alexei were in. An evil laughter could be heard as Alexei stood over Castro on a platform looking down at him. "C'mon Castro. Why the long face?" he chuckled out loud. Castro's answer however came in the form of another fireball flying towards the shadow man. He simply moved his body to the left as the fireball flew right past him, causing another explosion behind him. Alexei just rolled his white eyes at Castro's attempt to attack him. "You fool! he laughed, did you think it would be that easy!!". He finished with a evil grin on his face. "Oh don't worry, i came prepared castro said, you see those were just warm up shots. Now comes the real DEAL!!!" Castro yelled. "Bring it!" Alexei spoke darkly with an evil grin still on his shadowy face. And with that Castro shot a bolt of lightning out of his palm. Alexei deflected the attack back to Castro who just swatted the lightning with his arm and it went flying towards the other side of the room, crashing into some crates and shattering them to pieces. Alexei shot some black balls towards Castro which flew fast towards him. He dodged to the left as the balls crashed into the floor, creating small holes were they crashed. Castro began swinging his arms, firing fireballs towards his enemy, but Alexei deflected every one of his attacks and launched another black ball with his other hand. Castro did not see this attack coming and it collided with his stomach. Alexei clicked his fingers and the black ball blew up, causing Castro to get knocked into a bunch of crates. He skidded against the metal floor as he crashed into a big metal beam in the middle of the room. Alexei zipped into the air and continued his assault, firing more black balls towards Castro and causing them to blow up right in front of him, forming a giant smoke. Alexei seized his attacks and he rested his arms behind his back and stayed afloat in mid air looking on at the smoke in front of him. First nothing happened. "Well it looks like i win" Alexei grinned wickedly, but then out of the smoke came flying Castro who turned his entire body on fire. Alexei tried to brace himself but Castro was to fast for him and he nailed a vicious right hand on the shadow man's face which exploded on impact, causing Alexei to get sent flying back and through glass with a small smoke trail forming. Alexei skidded against the floor bet he recovered quickly and flipped himself back to his feet. Alexei quickly brushed himself off and looked towards the shattered glass now in front of him and saw Castro flying towards him once again. This time Alexei was ready for it. He moved his arm forward and shot a black ball towards Castro and it exploded on impact making him slow down his charge and skid his feet against the floor. Alexei then formed a small black black hole in his palm and it sucked Castro towards him fast, he then swung his other arm forward with force as he closelined Castro's neck and sent him flying back and crashing into the ground. Castro slowly got himself back to his feet coughing and breathing hard. He looked forward and saw Alexei with both his shadowy arms stretched in front of him. "THINK FAST!" he yelled as he fired a black blast out of his palms towards Castro. He cartwheeled out of the way just in the nick of time as the deadly attack went straight past him and out the shattered glass, causing some of them to turn to dust. Castro drew his weapon and once again charged towards the shadowy Alexei. Castro snapped out of his flashback like trance and stared at his campfire with a deadly glare. "Your time is running out!" he said in a dark quiet voice as he shifted his gaze towards the stars.
Ch 2Morning has hit ponyville, Celestia's sun was slowly rising in the sky, casting its warm glow soft light over the peaceful town. Inside the castle in the middle of town princess Twilight was slowly stirring from her slumber. She looked a mess. Her mane was all over the place, she had dark black marks under her eyes, and she very wobbly but carefully got out of her bed. She trotted towards her mirror on her night stand. When she got there she inspected herself and gave out a soft sigh. "What was those loud explosion sounds last night?" she quietly said to herself. She finished brushing her mane and applying some makeup to cover her sleep marks around her eyes, then she walked over to her bedroom window to gaze over at the everfree forest. "I got to find out what that strange light was last night, and i bet it was linked to those explosiones i heard last night too, plus i bet i was not the only one who heard last night's commotion" Twilight spoke to herself. She trotted out of her room down the castle hall towards her little dragon's room. She stopped outside his door and began to raise a hoof towards the door to push it open. She poked her head inside the room to see a bunch of comics scattered all over the place and some of his special gem collection all over the floof. Twilight gasped at this and she opened the door fully to enter the messy room. When she did she heard soft whimpering and small crying, this shocked Twilight and she looked towards the bed to see a shivering lump underneath the bed cover's. Twilight wore a look of worry and sadness as she saw this and she trotted over towards the bed and she slowly moved the cover off the lump to reveal her little dragon lying in a fetal position crying softly and shaking a little. Twilight's heart broke at this site. She knew Spike would've been terrified at what happened last night, after all it scared her too. She slowly sat on her haunches and raised her front hooves towards the bed and underneath Spike's small form. She lifted him very gently and brought him to her chest where she cradled him. Spike's shaking instantly stopped along with his crying and he opened his eyes to see the caring eyes of his caretaker looking down at him with a gentle smile on her face. "Tw-Twilight!" Spike managed to say in a shaky voice. "It's alright Spike, it's over" Twilight said gently. "I was scared!, i had no idea what was happening, i thought we were being attacked by something." "It's going to be ok Spike, me and the others are going to look into last night's event, so don't worry, whatever it was, you can expect it wont go without a royale lecture!" Twilight said. "You girls gotta be careful." Spike said as he wrapped his arms around twilight's neck for a gentle hug. Twilight smiled warmly and she bent down and started nuzzling his cheek. "Of course we will spike. now you go and get yourself something to eat and check on starlight for me" She finished as she let Spike go. "Of course Twilight" Spike gave her a quick salute and jogged out of his room down the hall towards the kitchen. Twilight looked over at Spike one last time, and thought about last night's event again.(What could've caused those explosions and why! i mean what if spike is right and it is someone or something attacking us or was about to.) Twilight shook her head and focused at the task at hand. (First i need to go to Fluttershy, she lives closest to the forest and most likely heard the explosions last night too!. Then i can round up the other girls in the main room of my castle and decide what their move should be.!) With a plan already set Twilight teleported out of Spike's room and headed towards her friend's cottage. (Meanwhile) Outside the giant crystal castle stood Castro who was gazing up at the shiny crystal building with a confused look on his face. " Why a castle made of crystal is a thing here i don't know, but if i want any leads i might as well talk to someone important". And with that said he walked towards the castle door and gave it a rough knock. A few moments later Spike who heard the knock decided to go towards the door to answer it. (Who could that be this early) the young drake thought. He got to the door and pushed it open. What he saw standing outside almost gave him a heart attack and it also made him scream. "OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!!!!!!"
Ch 3"OH YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!!!. Was all Castro said when he saw the little dragon at the door of the castle screaming and having a panic attack. Castro swiftly crouched down and placed his big hand over Spike's little mouth to shush him and calm him down a bit. Safe to say that did not work as Spike was now more terrified than calm and he decided to do something brave and stupid. He fired his little fire breath in Castro's hand hoping to burn him a little but that did not work as Castro moved his hand which was now on fire away from Spike's mouth and simply blew it out, which surprised the dragon greatly, and it managed to silence him for a bit. Castro moved his gaze from his hand back to Spike and proceeded to ask him a very important question. "Hey little dragon, is there any important people in this castle i could speak to?" he asked. Spike gulped at the question." You wont find any people around here" he spoke nervously. Castro narrowed his eyes a little." What do you mean by that? "I'm afraid that apart from family and you, there are no other humans in the land!" Spike spoke nervously. Castro immediately facepalmed and sighed very heavily. This made spike feel even more nervous. "Ok kid, Where am i and who could i speak to that is very important." He eyed the crystal castle. "Oh um, you are in the magical land of Equestria which is ruled by two very powerful princesses, but this here castle is also home to another princess named Twilight sparkle who is the princess of friendship and leader of the elements of harmony!. Spike finished with a bright smile on his face. Castro however looked very pale and worried. "So not only did i encounter wood wolves and Lions with scorpion tales, but now i'm speaking to a baby dragon with an odd colour scheme, but he also tells me that i'm only one of two humans in this weird land which has princesses as its rulers.. I'm begining to wonder if i teleported to some new disney movie which i now ruined." "Umm sir, are you ok?. Spike asked very worriedly. Castro looked at the small dragon with a straight face. "Yeah kid, i'm great!" "Ok i-i'm glad!. Spike smiled a little. "By the way kid- "Its Spike by the way." "Excuse me?" Castro said with an odd look. "My name Mr". "Oh..Right..Sure whatever. Castro said dryly. Anyway, Spike, you said that i was only one of two humans here!. So two questions. 1. The other human you said that is here, is he an adult with white hair by any chance?". "No sir, the other human here is a child. Who is also family. "Yep, of course he is!. Castro frowned. "Ok question 2. What species inhabit this land?" Castro asked very nervously. Well Mr. Equestria has many different species living here, ranging from dragons, to diamond dogs, and griffons. But mostly ponies inhabit towns all the land. Spike spoke with a small smile on his face. But the same could not be said about Castro who had a thousand yard look on his face. "So not only that the other human resident here is a little child, but PONIES MOSTLY INHABIT THIS LAND!!. Plus that puts me to square zero, i have no lead on Alexei's whereabouts." Castro sighed with his face in both his hands. Spike stared at the frustrated human for some time with a worried look on his face. "Umm Excuse me sir. Why are you upset that ponies live here?. Castro turned his head sharply to the little dragon who recoiled back a bit and also saw a glimpse of the red dragon mark on his cheek that was mostly hidden by his long hair." Listen kid, i'm here for a very important mission i can't share with you right now, but i will say this. Castro crouched down in front of the little dragon. My mission is very dangerous and i don't want anyone to get involved in it for their own safety, even though everyone here are animals." He finished while resting his hand on Spike's head giving his thrills a little rub. Even though Spike was scared, he actually enjoyed his head being rubbed, and that this human actually had a decent heart. Castro got up and stood tall above the small dragon and gave him a little smile. "Well kid, i'll be heading off now. The sooner i can get my mission done, the quicker i can leave this land and be free". Castro then turned his back towards Spike and was about to leave but the little dragon called out to him. "Hey Mr you- he was cut off. "The name's Castro kid, Castro Reddragon!". And with that said, he continued to walk away towards the forest once again. Spike watched him walk away and he had all these questions in his head about the mysterious human he encountered. "Gosh what do i tell Twilight and the girls when i see them." Spike then went back into the castle and closed the doors behind him. (Meanwhile) Twilight and the girls were running through town towards the castle of friendship. "So any ideas on what last night's commotion was about?" Applejack asked. "Whatever it was we will find it and i'll buck into next week!". Rainbow dash followed up while smashing her hooves together. "Gosh Rainbow darling, must you always resolve things in violence!". Rarity added while rolling her eyes. Pinkie was hopping along the others with a giddy grin on her face. "If it's an evil animal menie i'll send it flying with my party cannon!!" she said as she pulled her party cannon out of nowhere. Fluttershy remained quiet the entire time as she was a nervous wreck, who could blame her, out of all the residents of ponyville she lived closest to the everfree forest so no doubt she heard last night's explosiones as well. Twilight was leading the girls towards her castle with determination in her eyes. "C'mon girls we are almost there." The other 5 elements gave a swift nod of their heads as they quickened their pace towards the library. Back at the castle Spike was in the middle of preparing breakfast for himself and the girls for when they arrive back at the castle. But he was still deep in thought about the recent visitor he spoke to a few moment ago. He couldn't help but wonder who he truly was, how he got to Equestria, what kind of mission was he on, and the thing that bothered Spike the most about him was that dragon mark on his face. Back when Spike first saw it he did not want to say anything about it, but he can't get that image out of his head. While spike was lost in thought another unicorn mare entered the kitchen, she has a pink coat with a purple and teal mane and she had a purple and white star with two glimmering blue streaks for a cutie mark. She looked over at spike and trotted up to him. "Hey there Spike good morning" she greeted him with a smile. This caused spike to snap out of his thought and made him jump a bit "ohh hey there Starlight i never heard you come in what's up?" he asked her with a nervous smile on his face. Starlight was about to answer when she noticed the nervousness in Spike's voice. "Hey Spike dear, are you feeling ok?" Starlight asked with concern on her face. Spike gulped slightly and twiddled with his claws slightly " hey starlight i need to te-" "SPIKE STARLIGHT I'M HOME!" Spike was cut off as Twilight's voice echoed through the castle. "Great" spoke spike in a very quiet voice. "COMING IN JUST A MOMENT TWILIGHT!" Starlight yelled back. She then turned her gaze towards the little dragon. "Listen Spike what's bo-" Spike shushed her by placing a claw on her mouth. "Hey go to the others and i'll catch up in a sec" Starlight gave him a look of worry for a moment, then it turned into a soft smile. " Alright Spike i will go to the others, but later on me and you are going to have a little chat!". Starlight hugged him then trotted out the kitchen towards the main room. Spike just sighed heavily and turned around to stare out the kitchen window towards everfree. (well, here goes nothing!) he thought to himself as he started to walk towards the main room to join the others with Castro reddragon still on his mind.
Ch 4Castro walked towards the everfree forest with a lot of information on his mind. He just had an encounter with a baby dragon who was actually very bright and gave a lot of information on where he is. But it also made him feel very uneasy and worried. Not only the other human here a child, but he has no clue where Alexei could be or if he is even here to begin with. Castro got more and more frustrated as he thought about the possibilities of him being teleported to a wrong dimension separated from his target and with no possible way of returning back to his own realm. "THIS CAN NOT BEEEE!!!!" Castro yelled with such fury that his hair glowed a faint reddish gold color and his dragon mark began to glow once again. Castro immediately calmed himself down once he realised the devastating effects his anger has on his surrounding. He took a few deep breaths and calmed himself down. To help himself totally relax he found a clearing in the middle of the forest and headed towards it. He stopped and looked around his surroundings to make sure everything was ok and there was no animals or other threats watching him. He slowly took of his coat and laid it on the ground. He raised his right arm slightly so his hand was in front of his face and he ignited it creating a gentle flame. Then with a quick movement of his hand he threw the flame in a circle formation, creating a small ring of fire around himself. Once the flame circle was completed he reached into one of his pant pockets and pulled a mobile phone and a pair of headphones. He set himself on the ground in a meditation position and turned on his phone. He put his headphones on and he clicked a song for him to listen too as he began to meditate. Youtube Video Then another flashback happened. ( Castro was running along the top of some mountain tops with a death frown on his face. Not to far in front of him was a sheer drop which leads to a train track far far below with a train going along the right side of the track. Castro gritted his teeth as he saw the train speeding along and decided to jump off the mountain edge straight towards the speeding train. Castro pencil dived towards the track with great speed as he kept his eyes on the train. He slowly realised that he needed more speed in order to catch the train. He slowly put both his arms in front of him and opened his hands,Then he shot a short jet of fire out of them which propelled him fast towards the speeding train. Castro was catching up with the speeding train as he was intensifying the small jet flames that was coming out of both his palms to go faster and faster. Eventually Castro was nearing the end of the train but he could not grab on with his hands as they were currently busy, so he had to be a bit reckless and use one final burst of flame which flung him even closer to the train. When Castro was close enough to his target he ducked his head towards his stomach and bent his knees slightly as he landed on the train in a forward roll position and skidded along the top of the speeding train. Casro struggled a little to regain his balance as he was skidding fast along the top of the train. Castro was nearing a gap in between the train which was getting closer and closer very quickly and eventually he was only a few feet away from falling into the gap and being flung off the train. (If i don't think of anything fast i'm a wasted man!!) Castro thought to himself as he was closing in on the gap. Then Castro thought of something that could help him in this situation. He vaulted himself forward and he did a handstand right on the edge of the train, then with a lot of physical power he pushed himself off the train and did a front flip and landed on the other side of the gap in between the train in a crouching position. Castro wiped his forehead of some sweat "man that was too close !" he looked at the gap behind him and sighed in relief. Meanwhile Inside the train seated on the passenger seats there were armed men dressed in all black combat suites and they had combat helmets on their heads covering their faces. They were also armed with assault rifles, snipers, smgs, pistols, and combat knives, so these guys were dressed for war. On the back of each uniform the men had there was three letters spelling W.F.N. on them, so these men belonged to some sort of organisation. Most of them got startled by the sudden noise above the train that occurred moments ago and some of them even got up to poke their guns on the roof of the speeding train. "Hey what do you think that was?" asked one of the soldiers poking his gun on the roof. "Who knows? it was probably a rock shaken loose from the mountain we are speeding past." said a more relaxed soldier. "I don't know, i'm feeling nervous all of a sudden". The 1st soldier repeated. "HAA! you rookie you need to sto-. But the 2nd soldier was cut off by a loud bang and death scream coming from one of the other soldier's on the train. This got everyone else's attention and they looked towards the source where the sound came from, but what they saw sent a grizzly chill down their spines and even caused some of the weaker minded ones to start gagging. In the middle of the train cart, Castro punched a hole through the roof and landed on a unsuspecting soldier and crushed his head in with his fist, forming an a big pool of blood to form around his now deformed shaped dead head. Castro very slowly raised his head to look around the the train and gaze at all the terrified soldiers in the train cart. Castro got himself off the dead body keeping his gaze on his enemies in front him. He raised both his hands in front of his face and clicked all his finger bones with a death glare forming on his face. "This is a hostile takeover....prepare to burn"Castro spoke in a dark voice that sent chills up some of the soldiers spines. But the ones who remained strong instantly withdrew their closest weapons and took aim for Castro who was now withdrawing his double bladed staff and his combat rambo. "ALRIGHT MEN OPEN FIRE!!!" and with that, all the soldiers open fired on Castro. Castro begun to swing his bladed staff in one arm and deflected some bullets that was being shot at him, he then lunged towards a soldier who was trying not to get friendly fired and cut the top half of his body clean of from his bottom half and blood began gushing out everywhere. Castro then threw his rambo with his other arm and it impaled another soldier's head instantly killing him. Castro then kicked a fireball out of his foot towards a group of soldiers and it set them on fire, causing a death scream out of them. He then went towards another group of soldiers and began slicing away with his other weapon, decapitating some soldiers and causing other body parts to start flying all over the place, painting the train windows red. Castro then ran towards another group and picked up his rambo along the way and he sliced a soldier's head in half and some lumps of his brain fell on the train floor causing some soldiers to physically throw of their helmets and throw up. This gave Castro an opening and delivered a violent death to the unsuspecting soldiers. Once Castro dispatched the remaining soldiers, he cleaned both blades of his weapons and withdrew them, he then looked around and saw the massacre he just committed. Their where body parts scattered everywhere, pools of blood on the floor, scattered on the windows and ceilings. Castro closed his eyes and took a deep breath,relaxing his inner demon. "Now you feel my pain, my sorrow, and my rage!" Castro walked towards the hole he used to enter the train cart, stepping over dead bodies and body parts along the way, and then jumped out. Meanwhile standing on a cliff watching from a distance was a individual. This individual was wearing a silver mask with a black fang like pattern under the mask's eyes, and through the eyes of the mask, a pair of white reptile like eyes can be seen piercing through the gaps.The individual was wearing a long black hooded robe with the hood up and a silver scorpion design on the back. The bottom part of the robe split into two revealing a pair of very baggy white pants with the bottom half tucked into a pair of black fiorentini boots. The individual's arms were tucked into the robe's sleeves, and to finish the outfit was a long white scarf around the individual's neck flowing in the wind. "Hehe.. i found you..blood dragon." Spoke the individual, who was a male. "Let's have some fun" and with that said he leaped forward towards the train and his target. Castro was currently walking towards another cart when he suddenly heard a loud thud some distance behind him. He turned his head swiftly to the source but as he did he saw a long silver tail like blade coming right at him. Castro moved his head to the side just in time as the blade went straight past his face and withdrew back. "What the hell!!" Yelled Castro. "Hello blood dragon, i see you have been a very bad reptile". Spoke the masked man with an amusing tone "STINGRAY, so you made it after all, and on time too, i was starting to think you would not show." Castro said with a dark smile on his face. "Hehehe, your not gonna find Alexei on this train, in fact this was a trap to lure you out, but to think, you actually made quite the messy mess" Stingray looked down at the cart knowing what happened inside. "You could of done so well on our side." " Well that's too bad, coz i have to kill you and your boss to be free from my curse." "You make that sound soooo simple" Stingray shrugged. " What will you gain from killing us?" DON'T PLAY THAT GAME WITH ME!! Castro yelled, you know full well what you did! to pearl town, t-to HER!! ALL GONE NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN!!"Castro almost on the brink of tears. "So don't go there!" Castro glared at Stingray. Stingray gave a low chuckle, "but it feels so good to hear you speak of my accomplishments, and your pain. "GAHHHHHHHH!!!!" Castro yelled like a wild beast. His eyes began to glow green, his teeth began to sharpen, his dragon mark began to glow red, and his hair was slowly going up. Castro drew his double bladed weapon and lunged towards Stingray. "YOU FUCKER!!! I WILL MAKE YOU SUFFERRRRR!!!" Castro roared. "HAHAHAHA,I WILL EMBRACE YOUR RAGE WITH AN OPEN BLACK HEART, NOW LET'S DANCE!!" Stingray lunged towards Castro. End of flashback. Castro opened his eyes with sweat dripping down his face, he got up from the ground, put on his coat and took out his headphones and put them away. He stood there in the middle of the fire staring into space thinking about his recent flashback. "I will avenge you all" He simply said as he walked away.
