Author's Note

Hey guys i'm back its been long break this chapter was rushed thats because I had to give you something Grizzly out. Edit: So yeah I decided to come back to this and...clean it up a bit because I relized how much attention this needed. I didn't have my editor edit this because hes busy on something else. Also, im making another chapter before describing how they got there.

New management

“Wait a minute, this is the dragon lord episode so, if I play my cards right I can do this, Slash stay put I gotta go do something.” I say, then spotting Spike sitting on a particular rock. I then walk up to him and say “Hey how’s it going hatchling.”

“Hey my name is Spike uh sir.” Spike says, noticing my size.

“My name is...Drake...Dammit me.” I say to myself and Spike.

“Hey do you know why all of us dragons are gathered here?” I ask Spike.

“I wish i’d know for myself but i’m as clueless as you.”

“Hey Spike you got a weird rock there I don’t recall rocks having eyeballs.”

“Well you see I...I stole this rock from a pony yep so it’s a different rock.” Spike said smiling nervously.

“Spike, do I look like I was born yesterday I know there’s someone or somepony in there, but don’t worry this will be our little secret.” I say smirking.

“Yeah our little secret.” Spike said quietly.

“Well looks like your friends are coming i’ll see you later.” I say, spotting Garble walking over here. Then I start walking away.

“Wait no!” Spike yells.

I start to look to the dragon lord to wait for his announcement, he has a dark blue color, the inside of his wings are a fiery orange with two horns that curve down beneath his neck and one has a ring on it. He also has armor that is clipped with a golden clip and wears a red crystal crown.

“DRAGONS OF EQUESTRIA HEAR ME!!!” the dragon lord yells. “I have been dragon lord for longer than many of you can remember and my reign has been extraordinarily… AGREE WITH ME!!!” he yells then all of dragons start cheering. “Unfortunately according to Dragon law it is time for me to step down, Sad I know...BE SAD!!!” just as he said that the dragons pretended to cry.

“This is why I have summoned you to compete for the throne in the gauntlet of fire!” after he said that the dragons cheered. “Whomever has the strength and fortitude to retrieve this bloodstone scepter from the heart of the flame cano will be crowned, LORD OF THE DRAGONS!!!” he says, flicking the scepter into a cave that tilts over then bursting in flames and then a red explosion makes the dragons stop sparkling.

“That looks dangerous.” I say.

“The gauntlet is dangerous for I have designed it myself, Only dragons with my ferocity and strength and determination will be able to finish. We will gather at the cliff when the sun is at its peak!” the dragon lord says. “Where do you think your going little dragon.” he says, then everyone moves out of the of Spike pushing a rock.

“Oh hiya i’m Spike and I was going home.” Spike says smiling.

“No one goes home unless I say so.” he says. Then a small blue dragon comes out of nowhere.

“Dad, look at him he’s just a runt besides he doesn’t want to even want to compete let him go.” she says.

“Well he is rather tiny haha I could squish him with my pinky claw.” he says.

“Haha yeah.” Spike says.

“That wasn’t a joke that was a fact I could squish you easily.” he says seriously. “Alright you can leave.” he says then moving on to the cliff after talking to the blue dragon which I assume to be his daughter. Then, after everything was done we were off every dragon flew off towards the cave, I on the other hand had to swim my way. I jumped in the water waving my body like a fish and using my tail to turn, then I look back to Spike trying to swim, but he was just freaking out underwater. I move under him and push him above water for air. When he gets above water he gasps for air but I keep moving above water for him to breathe. He then looks down to spot me but can’t recognize me since most of me is underwater.

“Thanks for saving me I would have been a goner if it weren’t for you.” he says. I just keep swimming reaching the almost at the cove then a another dragon in armor plunges into the water unconscious.
“Oh great how many more are gonna fall.” I say mentally, then swim over to the dragon and Spike grabs her then puts her on my back. When we reach the cove I emerge out of the water Spike drags the unconscious dragon off my back and on the sand. Then takes off its helmet revealing that the dragon was a girl.

“Huh where am I?” she asks.

“Princess Ember?!” Spike yells.

“Oh it's you.” Ember says.

“We saw you fall in the water so we helped you anyways thank you mister YOU! IT WAS YOU!” He says seeing me.

Yeah, you don’t have to thank me.” I say.

“Anyways, I didn't need your help and dragons don’t do help.” Ember says.

“Well this dragon does.” Spike says, then a rock tumbles down the mountain.

“Don’t leave me here Spike!” someone yells. I flick my head to the side to see Garble stuck under a rock. Then Spike proceeds to lift the rock off of Garble.

“Haha I knew you would do that your pony friends made you soft” Garble says standing up, then kicking sand on Spike.

“A huh you're welcome.” Spike says.

“For what I didn’t say thank you. Then he sniffs Spike “You even smell like ponies...or it is coming from over there. He says, sniffing and walking over to the seaweed bush with Eyes poking out.

“It’s me I just robbed from some ponies on my way here.” Ember says.

“Hm, I like your style in fact you look familiar.” He says to Ember, getting a lot closer.

“Uh that’s just my cousin sandy uh rock beach.” Spike says.

I stare at both dragons in disbelief that Spike had actually said that.

“Stupid sling tails knocking me off.” Garble says.

He fuckin bought it.

“I’ve wasted enough time talking with- I'm sorry but I wanna win see you later.” I say, crawling up the cliff. The mountain was easy to climb, but I had to dodge or sling rocks away with my tail.

I kept doing this until I reached the entrance of the cave, when I went inside the cave the rocks crushed up and down like teeth in fact they were shaped like teeth. “How the hell am I supposed to get through that, oh yeah.” I say, remembering I have acid spit. I spit through each one leaving a hole big enough for me to fit I kept repeating this process until I reached the crystals, jeez they are enough to impale me I think dragons have thick scales so all it does is push them into the wall. This challenge would be easy enough I may be big, but I am quick and agile. I charge jumping the first horizontal spike, then sliding under the next spike then smashing right through one cause I can. I finally made it through to see pools of lava everywhere. “Oh, fuck me.” I say.

So, I spent a while carefully stepping on the rims of the lava, when I got down it was even worst. It was a labyrinth if I go here I end up there up I went up I would probably end up down. I felt like I was in fucking Inception. I go through every door and hallway until I spot door with a faint purple glow in it and run into the door, I see Garble and Ember fighting while this is going on I latch onto the wall and start crawling towards the scepter when I just about reach the scepter, Garble notices and rams into me hard. I fall to the ground and hit the floor hard that takes the breath out of me. “Please, somebody anybody help.” I say losing consciousness.

(1000 years ago)

I’d love to go back to my world again and see my brother, I miss him but nope I just had to get sucked in equestria. I guess i’ll start from the beginning my name wasn’t Khyax it was Noah but I can’t use that name here it doesn’t fit anymore. It was a normal day I was going to con with my brother, Alex I think. He was dressed up as Zero he really liked Zero. I was a Queen xenomorph a smaller size though. We were walking through and I was happy it was my first con and it was the worst con.

I was looking around for anything that would interest me I saw a booth that had ALIEN illustrated at the top I walk up to it to see a man in a cloak next to a xenomorph pushie it was cute, he only had one plushie on it and nothing else. It's like that booth drew me to it, like it was my destiny to buy something there.

“Come, come are you interested in the pushie?” he asks, in a gruff voice.

“Uh yeah so how much is it?” I ask him.

“There is no need for money it’s on the house.” he says.

“Cool thanks man.” I say grabbing the plushie I glance back to see him smiling I brush it off as him happy for giving it away. “I think i’ll name you, Slash.” I say walking away and cradling the plushie as if it were a child. Everything gets Then suddenly as if fate wanted to ruin this moment I fall into a portal I see a blue haze then I see a bear and that bear smiles and a blinding white light happens.

(Slash POV)

I couldn’t listen to Khyax he’s too important, so I followed him made sure he was okay because I was worried then when I saw him hit the ground I had stop anyone who wanted Khyax’s scepter. When the tiny dragon climbed to grab the scepter I intervened stopping him from getting it I grabbed it with my tail then jumped on the wall rushing toward Khyax. Then the blue one started flying towards me, I start changing my tactics, I spit then jump. I continue this process until she starts catching up then I go into full drive crawling as fast as I can, then the dragon manages to catch up and she slams into me making me fall I made one last ditch effort to give Khyax the scepter by trying to throw it at him but throwing with my tail mid air is hard so I grab it with my hand. When I did the scepter sparked and a red pulse waves over everyone.

(Khyax POV)

“Uh, what’s with that feeling?” I ask. then when I push myself up I see Slash with the scepter with bat like wings flying. “Slash you can fly?” I ask.

“What i’m not...oh.” Slash says noticing his hovering and wings “Well I guess I can.”

“Slash, give me the scepter.” I say, mentally praying he doesn’t turn on me.

“Yes my King.” Slash says flying over to me when he gets over to me he hands the scepter to me. When I get it he loses his wings with a flash and is back to normal. I on the other hand I feel a burst of energy like I just dunked my head in water. Then I feel like I had arms on my back stretched out I turn to see my wings black with white spikes at the edges I give them a flap and i’m astonished to feel each little air movement. I try out flying I flap my wings simultaneously and soon I lift off the ground then I flap as hard as I can flying above the cavern and above the red crystals that that used to hold the scepter. I land in front of the crystals all of the dragons were there and I say.

“The dragons are under new management.”
