My little pony X
Beginning of the Fighting Master Dragon Child
Previous ChapterNext ChapterA page was shown at the beginning of a book, showing Draco with Spike and Twilight, showing what built up to them living in Ponyville in book form. The trio were seen talking to each of their new friends in respective order from when they met whom. Draco was seen confronting Nightmare moon with his siblings behind him. Twilight was seen showing everyone about the Elements of Harmony. The group was seen walking through the Everfree forest in hopes of finding the Elements of Harmony. The group's struggles were all shown as the pages turned, one event at a time. The tasks of the Elements of Harmony were shown as well in exact order of when they were made. Draco and the others were seen confronting Nightmare moon and successfully did so, ending with Draco hugging Queen Luna. Draco and the others were seen with Queen Celestia as she just allowed the main trio to move to Ponyville. The last page showed Draco becoming surprised by what he found in the ruby in the alley. Just then a red flash covered up the screen and to changed to another motion.
The magic tree house anime movie song Message plays during the credits as Twilight's voice is heard singing No other bond.
Events from the pilot were shown from the first few lines of Twilight's song. "I may have given up on friendship, long ago." But my brothers helped me regain, it so. In spite of how stupid they, can be. I still love them with all my heart. They helped me see the light, at the end. It was a tunnel that made an, awful trend. But these dragons, one cocky, and one timid. Kept their friendship amazing from the start." Other events to occur in season one were then shown for the rest of the song. "True neither of them are perfect, but I honestly will never care. Us and our friends will remain, until the, end of time. Even when these brothers fight, there love lasts with all their might, and they showed me once again, the truth that i lost back then. The best of friends they will sure be, forever in harmony, No other bond i've seen before, protecting and loving one another to the core."
Draco and his friends were shown in a picture at the end of the song.
Draco was shown three years prior to the main series sleeping in his bed, seeming to be having a good dream. It seemed to be a really action packed one too, as he was punching the air as if he were punching an opponent of some sort. Draco was a fan of action after all, so this didn't seem too shocking for Twilight, who'd walked in to wake him up for the day. She knew it was hard taking care of two baby dragons; especially a troublemaker like Draco. But Twilight's handlede it this long, and she couldn't give up yet.
Twilight walked over to Twilight and poked his side, with Draco aiming a punch and shout at her as she woke up. The young dragon then chuckled a bit when he got up. "Flinched."
"Yeah, sure." Twilight deadpanned and then Draco jumped off of his bed. "I don't have school today so I figured I could hang out with you and Spike."
Draco seemed curious to how this event could play out, knowing rather well of Twilight's hobbies. "Does that mean we can check out that new movie that came out a couple days ago?"
"Sure; if you want to." Draco hopped up onto Twilight's back as she walked off. "Spike's in the kitchen eating his breakfast, so make sure to eat yours quick." Draco nodded and dashed off to eat his food, with Twilight giggling as she walked after him.
Draco was seen getting a giant popcorn bucket and a giant soda cup from the counter. After getting himself a soda, he then ran over to Spike and Twilight, who were surprised to see the amount of food he got. Spike helped him carry it in so he wouldn't drop it. "Geez Draco. Let's hope we didn't go over our budget."
"We probably did since we don't have one." Draco pointed out, clearly excited for the movie, and then he got front row seats with Spike and Twilight. "This is gonna be so awesome."
Draco karate chopped the popcorn bucket and ate some of the popcorn, with Spike chuckling at his love for action. "You sure do love doing stuff like karate chops."
"Who wouldn't?" Draco asked, and then the movie started with Draco being excited beyond belief. He couldn't even reach for his soda properly because he was too drawn to the screen itself. Due to his obvious love for what seemed to be martial arts, Twilight took interest in helping him express this love. She also remembered seeing something near the movie theater that could possibly help him do so; it gave her a good thought in mind as well.
Draco was seen walking with Spike and Twilight as he questioned where they were going. "So where are we going Twilight?"
"Trust me Draco. You won't regret coming with us to where we're headed." Twilight assured Draco, as he then signaled Spike to cover Draco's eyes.
Spike nodded and covered Draco's eyes, much to his confusion. "This better be good dude." The trio walked up to what Twilight knew would please Draco, with Twilight then signaling Spike to uncover his eyes; which he did, revealing something to Draco that he smiles greatly at. The building was then shown to be a dojo with many strong earth ponies in it; it excited Draco beyond belief and he clenched his heart. "Twilight, if this is true then you don't have to get me ice cream."
"It's true. And I'll still get you ice cream." Draco ran inside upon Twilight's words with Twilight glad that he showed a high amount of excitement. "I knew he'd like it."
Spike and Twilight walked inside to sign Draco up, with Draco hugging Twilight tightly. "I love you so much Twilight!" Twilight wrapped her arms around Draco, knowing that he'd love training here. She also knew she'd have to tell him what to and what to not chop.
Draco was seen wearing his martial arts outfit as he made karate chops and kicks outside swiftly for someone of his age. Spike was seen watching him, and he didn't seem to mind. He liked that Draco was doing something that he seemed to be passionate about. His younger brother was always full of energy, so it made sense that he'd enjoy this so much. Spike would've done likely done it himself, but he's much more gentle and less prone to loving this sort of stuff; aside from in anime of course. When Draco did a backflip kick, Spike became impressed. Draco's acrobatic skills were amazing for his age.
Twilight walked up to Spike and saw that he was watching Draco outside, smiling at his fondness for Draco. "It's kinda funny Spike. Usually it's the younger brother that loves watching the older one do stuff."
"I just like seeing him do something that expresses him." Spike explained. "And it's clear that he's having a lot of fun with this. Just look at him." Draco punched the fence, with Twilight becoming a bit shocked, but still smiling. "It can admittedly be a bit destructive, but nothing too serious. And he's only four; what can he do?"
"Fair enough." Twilight grabbed a book and wrote something inside it, interesting Spike as he looked at it. "Just letting Queen Celestia know of Draco's new hobby. I told her I'd let her know about the development between you two." Spike took a liking to this as Twilight then got an idea on how she could send the note faster. "Hey Spike. Celestia told me about this thing dragons could do to deliver stuff to someone. Wanna try it?"
"Sure; why not?" Twilight held the note up to Spike, who grabbed it and waited for Twilight's instructions.
"Just breathe fire on it. As long as it's in the thought of delivery, it should be fine." Spike nodded and breathed on the letter and managed to send it, clapping with happiness at the success. Twilight rubbed his head and was proud of Spike for his first delivery. Little did they know that this one time event would eventually become a regular for them.
Twilight was in her room making her bed for a good night sleep as she then heard someone knocking on her door. When she walked over to it and opened it up, she saw Spike smiling and covered in orange juice; seeing Spike messy made her giggle. "Let me guess. Draco's doing something with fruit salads?"
"He sure is." Spike replied with optimism. "I think he's almost done."
An apple was shown on a counter as Draco's claw then cut right through it, chopping it in half with ease. He then chopped it up into more pieces and made it into little bits, putting them into the bowl and rubbing his claws together. That was at the moment Spike and Twilight walked in, with Spike pointing with his thumb as Twilight spoke. "You sure are taking this seriously."
"How can I not?" Draco jumped down from the stool he was on and walked over to his siblings. "This whole martial arts thing is so cool and I thought it was just something I could watch in anime. It never came to me that I could just, do it."
"Well you can." Twilight replied with a head rub. "Just as long (Draco moves Twilight's hoof) as you don't do it to hurt everyone in Canterlot." Draco nodded and looked at his claw, feeling an immensely large power from inside.
Twilight was seen sleeping in her bed as she overheard what sounded like grunting, which made her cautious. Her caution wasn't just because she couldn't sleep either, but also because she was worried for her younger brothers. She got out of bed and headed out of her room, sneaking into the living room and seeing something she didn't expect. Well...at least not entirely. See, it wasn't a robber or anything, but instead Draco punching a sandbag he bought so he could train with it. When Twilight walked over to him, he looked at her and spoke up. "Guess my night training's over as soon as it happened."
"No, you can keep it up; just as long as you get your required sleep." Twilight assured Draco. "What's with the night training anyway?"
"I'm training for this tournament at my dojo." Draco explained. "It's in a week, and I found out about it as soon as I joined. My entrance was supposed to be a surprise so I could show off how strong I've gotten. Cause ya know; cockiness and all that."
"Right." Twilight giggled at Draco's self awareness. "Don't worry Draco; you'll do fine. Just try not to train too late though, cause you'd fall asleep as soon as it started."
"I've prepared for that with fight sleeping." Draco explained. "I haven't learned any moves with it yet, but I can master them when I start off on it."
"Yeah; like that's happening." Twilight snarked with a smiling eye roll. "Well good luck with your training; be asleep in an hour and try not to grunt too much." Draco nodded and Twilight walked off with Draco continuing his training as quietly as he could.
Spike was seen sleeping in his room as he was woken up by the beam of light entering his and Draco's room. He awoke and saw his younger brother in his Gi, probably aware of what he did last night. Upon getting up, he poked his brother's arm softly. "Draco. It's time to get up." Draco rolled out of his bed and fell onto the floor, making Spike as the young dragon got up. "Any reason you're sleeping in your Gi?"
"Upcoming tournament." Draco revealed with excitement for the big event. "Twilight already found out, so I figured it was pointless to hide it from you. Wonder if mom and dad are gonna show."
Spike and Draco walked out of the room as their conversation continued. "They probably will. But even then just remember to give it your all." Draco nodded and hi fived Spike, with Draco seeing the strength he gained from his training. The young dragon laughed a bit as he and Spike entered the kitchen and sat down at the table.
Draco saw his broken sandbag and wondered how Twilight would react if she hadn't seen it before cooking.
Draco was shown to be setting something up outside, with it then being shown to be a mobile sandbag. As he looked down at the wagon he put the sandbag on, he gave a thumbs up to it, having confidence that it'd be a great help for him. He then started punching it with hard force, knowing that he'd have to give it his all if he ever wanted to be good enough to win the tournament; or at least get past the first round that is. 'Cmon Draco. You can do this thing. Win that tournament and you'll improve your martial arts like none other before. Even if you just started, but you know."
Spike walked outside with a plate holding some sodas on it as he walked up to Draco. "Hey Draco. I thought you might be thirsty and I brought out the sodas like a butler for some reason. Which one do you want?"
"You got d.r pepper?" Spike handed Draco a d.r pepper and he started drinking it, letting out a small burp once he stopped. "Thanks dude. Gotta keep my strength up; and yeah, I know this doesn't help with that, but I'm not gonna give up something I love just to get better. I wanna do it with my own power; not force it onto myself by quitting something."
"That makes sense." Spike chuckled a bit as Draco grabbed a pepsi can and drank from it. "And at least it's not drugs we're talking about. That'd be just horrible."
"No kidding." Draco put the cans down and continued to punch his sandbag. "And don't even think about thinking that I'd start doing them either." Spike nodded as he then drank from a sprite can as Draco continued punching.
Three days later
Draco was seen practicing some kind of technique that he learned in his dojo class. It sure was a complicated one, as he needed to have both of his claws in the perfect precision. As he aimed for his outdoor sandbag, he charged up his power and struck, making a perfect hit and making the sandbag break in half. As he took the wagon over to his fence, he took the sandbag off and put a new one on, showing that multiple ones were bought for him so he could practice on all of them.
Draco's stomach growled and showed that he was hungry, with him walking off and opening the back door. When he went into the kitchen, he looked around and tried to find something worth his time. Luckily for him, he found just that on the top of the fridge. When he climbed up to the counter and jumped up to the fridge, he grabbed the cookie jar and opened it up.
Twilight walked into the room and saw Draco up on the fridge just as the young dragon ate a chocolate chip cookie. The unicorn giggled and levitated Draco back down, after putting the cookie jar back, and placing Draco on the ground. "Nice try ya little sneak."
"Well I don't automatically know where lunch is, thank you very much." Draco stood up and patted his stomach. "When IS lunch anyway?"
"I was actually just about to start making it." Twilight replied. "Hope you're still hungry by then." Draco nodded rather quickly, being that his love for food was exceptionally large.
Draco was shown on his bed as he looked up at his ceiling and saw some pictures of an anime character he really loved. "You really are a martial arts god Dranteno. You deserve Lyciana, even if she has a cold personality." Draco thought for a moment and chuckled a bit. "Look at you Dranteno. You're a cocky, witty, edgy, and pure hearted warrior. I'd try to be like you if it weren't impossible."
Draco sighed as he thought about how he could improve his martial arts. "If guns were more apparent in this world then that's be something cool." Draco thought for a moment and laughed a bit at a thought he just had. "I just thought of myself as an edgy teen that swore for at least sixty percent of my adventure and stuff like that."
Draco wiped a tear of laughter from his eye as he looked on his thought as a time of something else to come. "Boy would that be something. I mean it'd be cool and all to have swords and guns, but I don't think fans would like that." Draco lied down and looked at a game on his shelf. "Of course, even though you're my main inspiration for martial arts, I still like the game that rebooted you in an edgy world." Draco stood up and smiled as he took out the first game in the series Dranteno was in.
Two days later
Draco was seen playing a video game as Spike walked up to him and sat down next to him. "So you took a break from training, huh? Must be an important game."
"It's the latest one that just came out." Draco explained with investment. "It's the seventh game in the main series, not like the spin offs and reboot they made. This time it involves Dranteno helping this character he named Sweet get her memory back. Sweet herself is a pretty okay character; not too energetic, but not too edgy. I have some positive thoughts on her so far."
Spike chuckled a bit as he thought about how the series was still going. "How can this series still have enough ideas for the canon timeline. (Starts counting on his fingers) First Dranteno tries to stop his father, then he ends up going straight to the pits of hell, and then a prequel happens where Drateno tries to discover who he is, then he works with Shadiro to save his investing edgelord brother Cinetral, and after that Dranteno ends up getting framed for something he didn't do by an evil doppelganger of himself, and then there's the time travel mumbo jumbo, and now this."
"I guess they're just really clever." Draco concluded, and then he chuckled a bit. "Kinda surprised they managed to have Cinetral reappear three times now without it being forced. Like, he's the final boss in the third game, and appears again in the first game in the timeline, and then he appears again in fourth game, and then again in the fifth game since Dranteno let him live." Spike and Draco look back on the Dranteno games and don't question why they consider them to be incredible.
Draco was seen in a sword shot as he looked for the perfect sword to match Dranteno's. While looking around, he seemed to find some swords that each had one similarity, but none that could be an exact replica. Whether it was the size or the width, it was near impossible to find the perfect one. Sure he could've just had Twilight help him out in that regard, but he'd have to listen about boring consequences and all that garbage, something that he had zero time for. So he decided to walk up to the cashier. "Yo cashier dude. (The cashier looks down at Draco) Any chance you can help me a sword that looks like Dranteno's?"
The cashier looked around and thought of the perfect sword. "Wait here dude." The cashier ran off into the back room with Draco taking out a portable console, seeming to be booting up a Dranteno game. When the cashier came out after about five seconds, he showed Draco the sword. "This my amigo, is the ultimate replica for the sword held by the video game character you mention here and now. Red tip, golden coating, blue stripe down the middle, green aura, and full pure feeling inside. All yours for a good twenty bit or dollar discount."
Draco accepted the sword and handed the cashier a twenty, walking off as he waved goodbye to him. "Thanks dude!" Draco ran off with his sword and put it away in his own hand crafted handle. Yeah yeah, I know, he could've made his own sword too. But Draco wanted the real deal on the blade department. He then headed off with his sword so he could show it to Spike.
Draco was seen showing his sword to Spike, who found it amazing that he found the perfect replica. "No way. They actually had a direct replica. Is it as sharp as it is in the games?"
"If I was dumb enough to test it on my claws then I would've by now." Draco replied, and then he walked off with Spike. "Maybe we can test it out with a cactus or something super sharp. I saw some dumpster doors back there that I know for a fact Dranteno's can cut through."
"It's gonna be so cool if it succeeds." Spike was just as excited as Draco, even if he wasn't as big of a fan of the Dranteno franchise as his little brother, due to not playing it as often. "I mean, I'm more into adventure novels like Daring Do, but it's so cool to see a real life sword."
"And what were you planning to do with it my brothers?"
Spike and Draco turned around and saw a smirking Twilight looking at them as Draco spoke up. "We were just gonna cut up some steel so I could practice my swings for the tournament. I heard that sword swinging is great practice for punches."
"Mm-hmm." Twilight didn't know whether or not she could trust Draco alone, but as long as Spike was with him, it should be okay. After all, Spike's had some sword training himself in the past. "Make sure not to let him out of your sight Draco." Spike nodded and headed outside with Draco as Twilight sighed of relief. "It's nice to have company in younger brothers."
Draco was waiting for the tournament to start in his seat at the dojo, unable to stay still as he did. "This is gonna be so awesome Spike. I can't wait to show off my martial arts skills out there; it's gonna be so cool."
Spike chuckled as he rubbed his brother's head affectionately. "Yeah, I can see how that'd be for someone like you. I'd do it myself, but you know."
Draco nodded as the matchups were then shown, with Draco being surprised by who he was set up with. "Martinez Galorini? Alright then, let's do it."
Draco walked out onto the field with Martinez standing across from him and the two of them got into their fighting stances. Martinez then started to mock Draco from where he was standing, showing off his cockiness. "Aw; if it isn't the little baby dragon that can't even lift a finger." The bell rang as Martinez aimed a punch at Draco, who moved his head and punched Martinez right in the stomach. Martinez fell to the floor, but lifted himself up. "I won't let you-" Draco roundhouse kicked Martinez in the face and knocked him out, declaring himself as the winner.
The bell rang with Draco raising his claw as he walked up to Draco and hi fived him. "He was one of the best in my class until I showed up. He started mocking me ever since I joined."
"Ah." Spike and Draco watched Martinez grown in pain with Spike chuckling a bit. "You got this in the bag dude."
Draco was seen in the second round as he prepared himself with a punch to the palm. 'Get ready for this Draco. Once you get through every round, you'll be able to brag to yourself all you want. Heck, maybe to even some of the nicest of your friends here. After all, they'd take it the best."
The bell rang and Draco got ready to face off against his second opponent, who just so happened to be a girl. This didn't affect Draco though, as he didn't really see the difference to punching a boy or girl. He managed to dodge the girl's punch with ease and then kick her back sending her into a wall. The girl got up and charged at him, with Draco then grabbing the dragon's arm and throwing him up to the ceiling. The girl fell to the floor with Draco pumping his fist. "Yes!"
The bell rang and Draco was declared the winner as he then offered to help the female dragon up. Despite this purple skinned dragon appreciating Draco's offer, she swatted his claw away and declined it, standing up with a wipe of her lip. "Living with ponies must've made you soft."
"Hey now; it's a pony that introduced me to this." Draco retorted, with the purple dragon scoffing and walking off. Draco saw mystery in her, being that she was not only older than him, but she also appeared to be colder than he could ever be.
Draco was seen slamming his third opponent into the floor, pinning him down with his foot and then sitting on him. Draco's opponent tapped out and Draco was declared the winner, allowing him to walk up to Spike and sit down next to him. "I'm tellin ya Spike; it's almost as if my training was pointless. I'm flooring pretty much everyone without any effort at all." Draco saw who he was facing in the final round, and he took a liking to what he saw. "Then again, I just remembered the main reason I trained to begin with."
Draco stood up and Spike walked with him, wondering what he was talking about. "What do you mean?"
Draco pointed to his opponent, who was a yellow dragon with green wings. "Voltria Cannon. He's been the best student in my class for the longest time now, and now that I'm in said class, I'll get the chance to finally kick his butt."
"He looks to be about your age, so you have that point going for your own." Spike pointed out. "I wonder what kind of training HE goes through."
"Probably some kind of lava training to get more durability." Draco concluded. "But if I can manage to take a bunch of sleepless hours of punching and kicking then I can handle a little lava." Draco made a sizzle sound with his mouth, showing his cockiness arise.
Draco was getting ready for the final round as he stood across from Voltria and prepared to defeat him. Voltria showed himself to be just as cocky as Draco, being that he smirked at him with Draco scoffing and sneering. The two of them waited for the bell to ring and when it did, the two charged at each other. Draco landed a solid punch on Voltria's chest and made him back up a bit, cracking his fingers as he chuckled a bit.
Voltria lunged at Draco and kicked him right in the face, only for Draco to grab his foot and throw him over him. Voltria hit his back on the floor and then Draco lifted him up, throwing him at the wall. Voltria jumped off the wall and tried to slide kick Draco. This didn't work in his favor however, as Draco jumped up and landed a kick right on his stomach.
Voltria coughed form the impact and then flipped Draco onto his stomach, standing up and stepping on the purple dragon's tail. Voltria then showed himself to be the violent type, as he grabbed Draco's arm and attempted to break it. Draco managed to pull through however, and hit Voltria with the back of his head. Thankfully Voltria didn't bleed, but he did get kicked back by Draco himself.
Draco and Voltria collided punches and kicks and even landed a couple here and there. Spike hoped for Draco to win the battle, knowing how hard he trained for this. Draco did manage to land one attack on Voltria's heart. It was none other than the same punch he uses to stun his opponent's and make them fall onto their backs. This is exactly what happened to Voltria.
The bell rang with Draco wiping his lip and walking up to Spike, hi fiving him and hugging him dearly. He was a bit bummed out that Twilight couldn't come, but he knew how much her studies meant to her, so he didn't dwell on it too much. After all, he was gonna get ice cream since he won.
Twilight was working on some sort of potion at home when Draco came in with a giant trophy and a chocolate ice cream. "I won!" Twilight smiled upon hearing her brother's voice and Draco walked up to her with his trophy. "And I even got ice cream for winning. With Spike's money." Spike shrugged as Draco then climbed up to the top of the trophy. "This trophy right here Twilight, is gonna become the key to all happiness."
Twilight looked at the trophy and found Draco's words to be pretty ridiculous. "The key to all happiness." Draco nodded his head yes and Twilight scoffed at his words. "I honestly doubt it Draco. You're the only one who owned the trophy; how can it be the key to all happiness?"
"I can make it the law to be that." Draco explained. "That's possibly to do, right? Make the law?"
"Maybe if you're Celestia." Spike replied. "Otherwise, you're pretty much doomed there."
Draco sighed of relief as he then lied down in his trophy. "Well at least I still won." Draco ate his ice cream up and then climbed to the top again, curious to what Twilight was doing. "So what're you doing?"
"Just making a potion to help myself master two leg mode." Twilight explained. "I'm really struggling, and it'd help a lot if I had a balance potion."
Draco nodded in understanding and took a liking to the color as he giggled a bit. "It kinda looks like soda. If there's soda in the fridge can I have some?"
"Go ahead." Draco jumped out of his trophy and ran off to get a soda can, with Twilight finishing her potion. "Time to test it." Twilight drank the potion and hoped that it'd work. "Let's hope this works."
"It'll work Twilight." Draco implied as he sat up on the counter. "After all, it was made by a nerd." Twilight giggled a bit at Draco's words as the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.
An instrumental version of the main theme played during the credits.
Draco was seen in the present as he climbed through his window and over to his bed. He seemed to have had quite a long day, as he appeared to be very tired from what we could see. When he sat down on his bed however, he looked at the ruby when he lifted his pillow. It was still there and gave him caution like always. It also gave him hope however. Hope that he could see his birth mother someday. He then looked at his nightstand and saw the picture of him with Spike and Twilight. He'll never forget when he met those two; they were his best friends and siblings, and seeing that alone made him smile.
