Previous ChapterNext Chapter

A 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 seen having a nightmare in his bedroom, with fear consuming him as he squirmed. Tossing and turning with confusion.

Draco continued to squirm as his nightmare was then shown. Draco was seen walking around in his dream, terrified of what was to come. Draco then saw the dragon in the ruby he found, as well as the one with the sapphire, becoming overjoyed at the sight of her. "Mom?" Draco ran over to the dragon and went to see if it was really his mom, only for the dragon to vanish into thin air. Draco became devastated at the sight of the dragon's disappearance, horrified at the thought of his mother being gone. Draco then started holding back his tears, only to then be trapped by a dark force.


Draco woke up in a state of terror and shock, hyperventilating at a high pace. Spike woke up from the bottom of the bunk beds, hearing Draco's breathing and worrying about him. Spike hopped out of bed and climbed up to Draco, hoping he was okay. "Everything alright buddy?" Draco then moved his blanket and hugged his brother, continuing to hold back his tears. Spike patted Draco's back with affection, speaking in a soft tone. "Don't worry Draco. It's all gone now." Draco started to think about his nightmare, feeling that he had to find his mother. Or at least learn something about her.


The next day


Draco was at the table with his food in front of him, when Spike noticed that he wasn't eating, much to his surprise. "You alright dude? You barely touched your food."

Draco sighed, clearly showing that he was down about something. "I guess." Draco grabbed a piece of bacon from his plate and bit into it, chewing it slowly and then swallowing.

"Spike told me about what happened last night;" Twilight said, showing her concern for her brother. "You know you can always talk to me or him, right?"

Draco looked at Twilight, trying not to sound ungrateful. "Is there any chance you can find out who my birth mom is?" Twilight became surprised to hear Draco's question, as he showed a rare sign of vulnerability. "It's just that the nightmare I had last night was about my mom. It felt strange."

Twilight showed more concern for Draco, but didn't want to put his life in danger. Not after what happened in the Everfree forest. "The only place I know of finding lost creatures is the Canterlot library, but there's no way I'm taking you there. It has more than enough traps to get someone killed."

"Pssh. Getting into danger is my middle name;" Draco said in a cocky tone, even though Spike was well aware that he was just trying to hide his sadness.

"I'm sorry Draco;" Twilight apologized, feeling bad about not helping Draco. "This isn't like the Everfree forest. It's at least five times more trap deadly."

Twilight walked off, leaving Draco upset at Twilight's lack of assistance. Twilight went to wash the dishes until a plate hit the wall next to her. Twilight then turned to see an angry Draco who seemed to be having a meltdown. "At least you knew YOUR parents!" Draco then ran upstairs, leaving Spike to worry about him. Spike then thought about how he'd feel in his little brother's position, even when Draco slammed his bedroom door.

Twilight sighed of concern, knowing that Draco would try something. "Another one of his temper tantrums. If only the Canterlot library was less dangerous."

Spike saw the need to find out about his parents too. And not just to help Draco with his problem. Spike got out of his seat and walked up the stairs, wanting to comfort his brother. Spike looked at Twilight, who nodded, allowing Spike to go in and try to cheer up Draco.


Draco was seen on the roof of the Golden Oak Library, looking at the ruby with confusion, putting it down to avoid the dark thoughts. He then tilted his hat down a bit, feeling like taking a nap. Spike opened the door to the roof and climbed out onto it, seeing Draco lying down and walking over to him. Spike then sat down next to Draco, speaking in a calm and caring tone. "You okay Draco?"

Draco let out a sigh of discomfort, feeling lost and lied to. "I guess. It's just too bad our mom is still out there. And we know nothing about her."

Spike put his claw on his brother's shoulder, making Draco look at him. He gave Draco a smile of purity, showing that he'd help in any way he can. Draco thought for a moment and decided that he didn't care about what Twilight told him. "Spike." Draco looked over the roof and gained a determined look, knowing that he'd need some help. "I want to know more about our mother." Spike stood up, nodding to his little brother, as he wanted to learn more about their family too. "We may need some help. Like Twilight said, the library's dangerous." Draco thought for a moment at who could help him and Spike.


A train was seen going over the rails of Equestria, with Rainbow dash and Applejack sitting with Spike and Draco. Draco was seen looking out of a window on the train, looking rather hopeful about finding knowledge on his mother. Draco turned to the other three, grateful for Rainbow dash and Applejack coming with them. "Thanks for helping us out girls. Judging by how big the security is in the Canterlot library, we didn't think you'd come with."

"Hey dude. I'm not all for that danger stuff, but parents deserve to be known about;" Rainbow dash said, feeling Draco's pain in her own way.

"And I know what it's like to lose them;" Applejack said in a sorrow tone, putting her hat on her chest right after. "Even if I never met them."

Spike and Draco began to see more depth with the tomboys of the group, seeing more in them than their usual traits. Spike then thought about how they would get into the library. "Speaking of security, they have at least thirty guards outside if you don't have a canterlot school student with you."

"Pssh. That's way to easy for me;" Draco said, getting cocky about the situation. "I can kick all their butts in a (punches palm) second."

"And you'd really have to forget about how awesome I am to lose track of how we'll win;" Rainbow dash said, confident that they could sneak into the library. "As long as we do well enough in the battle, or find a way to sneak in, we'll be ready."

"Is it too late to pick the ladder option?" Spike said, indicating that he wasn't a good fighter. Draco nodded his head yes to his brother, making him chuckle a bit. "Mind showing me a couple moves before we act upon our mission?"

"No problem dude;" Draco said, excited to show off his moves. "You'll see that those karate lessons were more than worth it." Rainbow dash smiled at Spike and Draco's bond, as did Applejack, with both of them wishing they could feel the same.


Draco and the others were seen in Canterlot on a rooftop near the castle, with Draco getting ready to teach some moves to Spike.

"Alright Spike. Now the first thing we're gonna learn is how to stun someone with a single punch;" Draco said, pumped up to show off a favorite of his. "You just have to locate where their heart is, and strike at full force."

Spike nodded upon Draco's directions, finding the move to be rather interesting. "One punch. Like the anime?"

"Sort of, except this only happens in one location;" Draco said, and then he signaled Rainbow dash to walk over to him, which she did. "And now for a demonstration." Draco cracked his fingers as he got ready to punch. "Be careful Rainbow dash. This could hurt."

"Pssh. I was made for kicking a-" Draco then laid down a solid punch on Rainbow dash's heart, stunning her and making her fall on her back.

Spike and Applejack too amazement by Draco's move, with Applejack especially being impressed. "Well catch me a calf Draco. That was one impressive feat."

Draco shrugged, feeling like doing it again. "I'm a black belt. Anyway, it's your turn Spike. You do it to Applejack."

Applejack flinched at the thought of being stunned. "Say what now?"

"If Spike's ever gonna get this right then he has to do it himself;" Draco explained, and then walked over to Spike, pulling his older brother to Applejack and placing him in front of her. "Now punch Applejack's heart location as hard as you can."

Spike breathed in and out, getting ready to lay down a fiesty one. "Sorry AJ. This could be bad."

"It's alright Spike. Let er rip;" Applejack said, more than happy to let Spike do what he had to do. Spike then punched Applejack in the exact location Draco said to do, stunning her and making her fall to the floor.

Draco became exceptionally excited upon Spike's perfect move, jumping up and down with joy. "Alright!" Draco high fived Spike and got even more pumped up. "I've never seen a perfect move on the first try. Well, aside from when it's MY attack of course." Spike rolled his eyes while smiling and the brothers got ready to continue. "Okay dude. Now get ready for this one." Draco put his hat on backwards and laid a punch on Spike's stomach. Draco then back flip kicked Spike and then jumped up, front flip kicking him into the floor.

Spike landed on the roof and got up with Draco landing perfectly. Rainbow dash got out of her stun mode and reacted to the move. "Slick moves dude."

Draco gave a thumbs up to Rainbow dash and then turned to Draco. "Now you try."

Spike scratched his head a bit, not being as athletic or acrobatic as Draco. Spike laid down a solid punch on Draco, only to fall on his face during the backflip, making Draco somewhat disappointed. "Tsk tsk tsk tsk." Draco then went back into a good mood. "Oh well. Some of these take practice anyway." Spike and Draco high fived, ready to continue their training.


The Canterlot library was shown as Draco and the others were walking over to it, ready to execute the mission.

Draco turned to Spike, Rainbow dash, and Applejack, getting ready to start the mission. "Alright dudes. Now when we get up there, we're gonna kick all of their butts and head on into the library. Then we'll look for any information Queen Celestia may have on mine and Spike's mom in there."

"Sounds good to me Drac;" Rainbow dash said, liking the idea.

"I'm all in;" Spike said, getting ready to test out his new moves. "This is gonna be so cool."

"Bring anything you got;" Applejack said in a confident tone.

Draco nodded and the quartet walked over to the guards, who blocked them from coming in. One guard pointed to a sign that forbid them from coming in without a Canterlot student. Draco gave out a sneer as he cracked his fingers, landing a punch on the heart of one of the guards. The guard fell to the floor and remained stunned, causing another to call for backup.

A bunch of other guards ran up to Draco and the others and they began fighting as the guards fought back. Draco kicked two guards into each other and gave them a peace sign. Spike grabbed one of the guard's spears and cut his leg with it, making the guard fall to the floor. Rainbow dash whirled some of the guards up in a tornado, making them fly all over Canterlot. Applejack punched one of the guards in two leg mode and then roundhouse kicked another into a guard Draco was fighting, impressing the young dragon with the earth pony's skills. "Nice moves Applejack. Where'd you learn to stand on two legs like that?"

"It took a lot of practice to get it right Draco;" Applejack said, and then she back hoof punched the last guard, knocking him out and going back into four leg mode. Draco and the others walked over to each other and high fived, going into the library right after.


Draco and the others explored around the Canterlot library, hoping to find some information on Spike and Draco's mother. Draco was seen looking in the D section, hoping to find something on dragons. Draco found a book on dragons and pulled it out of the shelf. "Guys, I found something!" Spike, Rainbow dash, and Applejack run over to Draco, who flips over to a page on him. "Pssh. Lame. They forgot to call me king awesome."

Spike flicks Draco's head, annoyed at his lack of concentration. "Remember what we're here for."

"Oh, right;" Draco said, and then he found a section explaining his and Spike's discovery. "Hey dude. Check it out. This is how Celestia found us." A clip was shown of Celestia finding Spike and Draco's eggs. "Remember? Twilight used to tell us about how Queen Celestia found us." Celestia levitated the eggs and flew off with them, hoping to give them a good home. The clip ended and the dragon brothers were seen smiling. "I thought that was awesome of her the first time I heard that. True, it could've been unintentional kidnapping, but there obviously weren't any other dragons around."

Spike looked at the book with Draco, seeing a picture of Celestia and the eggs. "Even if it WAS that, she still had good intentions under the other stuff." Spike and Draco hug each other affectionately, having fond thoughts about when Celestia found them. The broken horn unicorn was seen lurking in the shadow's, grinning as she saw what she needed.

Draco then looked at the page again, showing some random words. "Well it doesn't say anything about mom, but it DOES have some cool words." Draco then starts translating the words, hoping for something cool. "When the dark dragon who looks like a child, had a nature that's dark and mild, darkness and hope combine into one, and this dragon looks like innocent fun. When he is shown his true age however, it's not fun and games on the endeavor, as all he wants to do is cause destruction, with a heart so dark and past with corruption."

Just then, the shelf behind Draco and the others opened up, revealing a secret hallway that they took an interest in. Spike thought for a moment and felt something fishy about this place. "I don't know guys. This seems pretty whack."

"That's the point of adventure;" Draco said in a calm and inspirational tone, walking into the place with the others.


Draco and the others arrived to the center of the hidden room, finding a pedestal with a black orb on it. Draco and the looked at the orb and Draco became amazed by the sight of it. Draco reached to tough the orb as Rainbow dash saw a prophecy that caught her eye. Despite rolling her eyes at it's complexity at first, she then realized what it meant. "Draco, no!"

Draco grabbed the orb and then an earthquake happened out of nowhere. Spike held onto Draco's arm, keeping him from falling off. Rainbow dash then gathered more knowledge on the prophecy, being frustrated with Draco's stupid decision. "You idiot!"

"That sounds pretty hypocritical coming from YOU Rainbow;" Draco snarked, and then Rainbow dash pointed to the prophecy, which the others then realized what was going on. Draco looked at the orb and then heard maniacal laughter. The broken horn unicorn hid near the wall, wanting to wait for the right moment.

Draco and the others looked behind them and saw a slender dragon that looked rather young. The dragon had a black skin coat, naturally red claws, and crystal coating where his wings appear to be. He also had white scales, showing that part of his personality was somewhat pale. "Greetings young mortals. I am Ryu. God of all, and protector of justice." Draco and the others got defensive, making Ryu chuckle. "If I told you about my past, you'd all put your hooves and claws down." Draco then saw a burning hatred for Ryu, which Ryu took a liking to.

"What do you want?" Draco growled with a sudden filled hate in his soul.

"My goal is simple;" Ryu said, pulling Draco closer to him and glaring into his eyes. "I want justice."

Draco became confused by Ryu's words, wondering why he would seek out justice. Ryu saw Draco's confusion and gave out a menacing chuckle. Draco growled and aimed a punch at Ryu, only for Ryu to dodge with a move to the head. Draco was shocked to see this until Ryu kicked him back. Draco regained his balance and got ready to continue, much to Ryu's delight. "Burning with spirit young Draco. I like that."

Draco became shocked that Ryu knew his name. "How do you know me?"

"I've been studying you all after Celestia sealed me away after I gained my dark form;" Ryu explained, clenching his fist upon the mention of Celestia. "This world has treated me terribly, filling me with the lust for revenge. Something of which you friendship protectors wouldn't understand."

Spike, Rainbow dash, and Applejack got defensive with Ryu, who simply chuckled maniacally, speaking in a menacing tone. "So ignorant. None of you understand how pointless friends are. They'll just backstab you and make you suffer." Draco remained in shock by what Ryu was saying, not believing a single inch of it. "And now, I shall rule over all. I was guiding the broken horn unicorn in the Everfree forest with manipulation, and now when I find her, she'll be my right hand. She even came here to find me."

Draco started to add up the pieces of what happened in the Everfree forest when everyone got seperated. Ryu then gave a glare to Draco. "Do yourself a grand favor Draco, and make smarter decisions for your friends." Ryu's eyes were then all that were shown. "Ditch them." Draco then growled at Ryu's words, as the black dragon disappeared, revealing two hallways.

"I think it's best we go in groups;" Rainbow dash said, turning into a confident leader. "Draco, you're wish me. Spike and Applejack, you go the other way." Everyone nodded and ran off in their perspective directions.


Draco and Rainbow dash were seen walking down the hallway they went through, hoping to find Ryu and defeat him.

"So the prophecy you say told of that event happening in the same way we met Ryu?" Draco asked, feeling a great weight of power shielding him from his usual bratty and cocky, yet upbeat and good hearted self.

"Yeah. And you obviously didn't know, so...I'm sorry I snapped at you;" Rainbow dash said, only for Draco to hug her with affection, showing that she didn't have to apologize. Rainbow dash smiled as she wrapped her arms around Draco, getting a sense she never thought she'd feel.

Draco pulled Rainbow dash away to continue on the mission. Despite liking the hug, they had more important matters to act upon. Speaking in a leadership tone, Draco continued the search. "Cmon Rainbow dash. We have a black dragon to stop." Rainbow dash nodded and flew off with Draco running next to her.

Just then, the floor started shaking and the walls started breaking. A laser beam out of a crack in the wall at light speed and shot Rainbow in the arm, making her fall to the floor. Draco went to check if Rainbow was okay, only for her to fall under the crumbling area, falling to what looks to be her death. "Rainbow!" Draco jumped off the area and slid down the wall, jumping off when he got to Rainbow. Draco grabbed Rainbow and held her in his arms, jumping off pieces of rubble, as well as the wall itself, climbing back up to the surface. Rainbow dash looked to see Draco's serious face, smiling at his bravery. Draco arrived at the top and set Rainbow dash down, looking at her wing.

"Thanks Draco;" Rainbow dash said, grateful for Draco saving her life.

"No problem;" Draco said, putting his index and middle finger on his head and taking them off when he said what he said. Draco then took off his Sonic the hedgehog backpack and opened it, pulling out a medical kit from Twilight. "Twilight bought me and Spike our own kits after Nightmare moon attacked."

"Heh. She's such a worry brain;" Rainbow dash snarked, just before Draco lifted her wing.

"Not let's take a look at this puppy." Draco began to examine the wing, looking for the bullet before it ended up infecting Rainbow dash's wing.


Spike and Applejack were seen walking down the path they chose to go down.

"So Rainbow dash likes Draco too?" Spike said, revealing that they were talking about their friends. "That's...surprisingly not as weird as it could've been."

"Not all relationships have to be close in age;" Applejack said, revealing that she's okay with odd relationships. "While I admit to not knowing if Rainbow dash was telling the truth or not, as she was drunk at the time, and that it's pretty unusual, I'd be more than ashamed of myself if I let some darn crush get in the way of a friendship."

Spike snickered, taking a liking to Applejack's accent. "I just realized how funny your cowgirl accent is. Still can't believe Draco hasn't cracked a joke at it yet."

Applejack laughed a bit at Spike's innocence showing, finding it to be rather charming. "You're not the first one to say that. In all seriousness though, I haven't know either one for too long now, but it's clear that they're close with each other."

Spike then thought about what Draco would do in the future, feeling as if he wanted to be a part of it. "Maybe I could be his best man at the wedding."

Applejack shrugged, feeling that anything could happen. "Maybe. How would YOU feel if they got together?"

"While I admit they're at least six years apart in the age range, I've seen relationships where the lovers were decades apart;" Spike said, referring to certain relationships he's perfectly okay with. So it wouldn't be the biggest news in the world to be."

Spike and Applejack then saw a light at the end of the tunnel, only to be blasted back by it. Just then, the black unicorn with a broken horn walked up to Spike and Applejack, speaking in a manipulative tone as she did. "Greetings servants. Let's play puppets." The black unicorn grinned evilly as she charged up her power.


Draco was bandaging up Rainbow dash's wing, hoping it'd heal up soon. He finished bandaging up Rainbow dash's wing, with Rainbow grateful for the effort. Draco then felt even worse about the whole thing, wanting to shoot himself in his arm. "You know you could've said no, right?" Rainbow dash became somewhat shocked by Draco's sorrow tone, knowing that it wasn't him. "I wouldn't have asked you to come if I knew this would happen."

Rainbow dash put her hoof on Draco's chest, making the dragon look at her. "Dude. I WANTED to come." Draco became surprised by Rainbow dash's statement, allowing her to continue. "Sure I can get hurt at times, and heck, I'm a thirteen year old pegasus and you're a seven year old dragon, but getting hurt is all part of life." Rainbow dash then chuckled a bit. "Even if I were to be shot in the leg, I'd still be fine with it. Sure I'd be in pain, but it's all a part of living." Draco took Rainbow dash's words to heart, feeling rather soft as he did so. Just then, an alicorn's shadow appeared behind Draco and Rainbow dash.


Spike aimed a heart punch at the broken horn unicorn, only for her to grab and crush his claw.

Spike screamed in pain as the unicorn kept crushing his claw, showing no remorse for it, throwing Spike straight at Applejack, who got up in a furious mood. "You've got some nerve comin in here and hurtin MY friends!"

"Oh, calm yourself orange pony;" The unicorn said, using her magic to create a floating platform. "I merely wish to help my master achieve his goal." The unicorn then sensed a powerful energy that she couldn't beat, hopping on the platform she created. "We will meet again. And next time, you'll suffer."

The unicorn flew off as Spike and Applejack looked behind themselves to see Draco, Rainbow dash, and Celestia. Spike and Applejack were relieved to see Celestia, walking over to her as Spike spoke. "Let me tell you Queen Celestia. That girl can bite."

"I'm sure of that;" Celestia said, seeming rather upset with Draco and the others for what they did.

Spike then got a worried face, as did Applejack, who allowed him to speak. "I'm gonna die, aren't I?"

"Yeah see, that's what I thought;" Draco said, hoping for nothing brutal to happen.

"She wouldn't kill the ones she raised from egghood though, right?" Rainbow dash asked, fearing for her friends lives.


Draco and the others were seen being confronted by Celestia in the throne room, with Luna snickering appropriately.

"I still can't believe how weak your minions are;" Luna teased playfully, mocking how easily Draco and the others beat the guards. "If it was up to me to hire guards, we'd be more than capable of beating these kids."

"Hey now, we don't need to be compared to weaklings by you;" Draco said, just before he put a cocky smile on his face. "If I'm being honest though, I wonder how Nightmare moon would handle something like this." Draco sneered. "I'd love to see HER moon sentence."

Luna became stunned by Draco's jab at from her punishment as Nightmare moon, only for Celestia to speak about what happened. "It's clear that you're just toying, so I won't punish you for that one. But you're well aware of the rules of Canterlot."

"Does that mean I should care?" Draco said in a cocky tone, making Spike pull his scale in frustration, making Draco back hand punch him.

Spike rubbed his forehead as he continued. "We had a good reason Queen Celestia. See, Draco had this dream about our mom last night, and he thought the library would have some answers." Celestia became surprised by Spike's words, seeing that Draco was close to figuring out the truth. "And we also didn't intend on releasing that Ryu dude either. Whatever the heck he wants."

Celestia became shocked by the mention of Ryu, flying down to the four. "Did you say Ryu!?"

"You lose your brain too?" Draco asked, leading to Celestia rolling her eyes.

"Come with me;" Celestia said, walking off as Draco and the others joined her. Luna shrugged, flying from her throne and walking off with the others.


Draco and the others arrived at a secret room and Celestia typed in a code that opened the door, to which Draco took a liking to what was in the room. "Nice touch." Draco and the others walked up to a crystal ball, showing Ryu inside of it.

"You see, Ryu isn't any normal being;" Celestia said, explaining the dangers of Ryu. "He's not only a master manipulator, but is home to extreme levels of dark energy, to which even we don't know the answer to." The crystal ball changed to a clip of Ryu's past. "No one knows why he does what he does, but it's said that he had an abysmal past of abuse, betrayal, pain, loss, and rage. I'll admit, I felt for him in the beginning."

Rainbow dash began to question how Ryu got his power. "So how did the dude get so powerful?"

"No one knows for sure;" Celestia said, chuckling a bit. "Some say he was consumed by rage, and yet I say someone else gave it to him." The crystal ball then showed what Ryu's intentions were like. "Seeing the world as the enemy for scorning and forsaking him, he makes it his mission to destroy it believing nothing good can come out of it." The crystal ball then changed to Ryu using his dark powers.

Applejack began to question this as well. "What exactly did he go through?"

"No one knows for sure;" Spike said, unsure of how to answer that. "All I know is that he's not one to mess with. Especially if that broken horn girl is working for him."

Celestia took interest in Spike's mention of the unicorn with the broken horn, taking into account that she should look that up. Draco looked into the crystal ball, seeing Ryu's past as dark, but his intentions to be vile.


The Golden oak library was shown as Twilight's voice was heard, stressed out and angry. "You did WHAT!?" Twilight was then shown to be flipping the dinner table, knowing what this event could bring. Twilight then turned to her brothers, who were shocked by her outburst. "How could you two revive the darkest threat in the universe!?"

"It was an accident Twi, we swear!" Draco said, as he and Spike were seen backing away from a stressed out Twilight. "If we wanted to bring him back then we would've done it years ago!"

Twilight breathed in and out, trying to keep her cool when talking to her brothers. "Okay. I'm fine with you two disobeying me, but only because you ended up doing something much worse in the process. And you're still grounded for two weeks on THAT regard." Draco groaned at the sound of being grounded, crossing his arms in annoyance. "Don't get bratty with me Draco. I'm not the one who unleashed the greatest threat Equestria's ever known.

"Well you're partially to blame for this Twilight;" Draco said, unintentionally downplaying what he did himself. "If you'd just told us about Ryu before the Canterlot thing, we could've saved a lot of time."

Twilight rolled her eyes in annoyance to Draco's words. "Alright, I'll give you that much. But you still had no right to do what you did." Twilight then let out a smile. "But we will defeat Ryu." Spike and Draco became surprised by Twilight's words. "Even if the Elements of Harmony can't stop everything, Ryu's a threat we can't let stay alive. So no matter what, we'll always fight back. Even when the odds are so far against us, that we could end up as rubble.

Spike and Draco smiled as Twilight put out her hoof, allowing the dragon brothers to put their claws in between. Ryu was seen looking through the window, forming into a bird and flying off right after. Ryu decided to take his plans into full swing and the screen faded to black, ending the episode off.

An instrumental version of the main theme plays during the credits.


Ryu was seen flying through the air in his adult form, which was much more bulky than his normal one. He flew up to the volcano and went back into his normal form, walking into the volcano as he did so. The minions were seen chatting as they then saw Ryu, hoping it was truly him. Ryu gained a confident smile as he walked up to the throne in the room. He stood upon the throne and looked down at his minions, raising his claw in the air. He then demonstrated his dark powers to show that it was him, giving miles of joy and excitement to his minions. The minions began cheering for Ryu, who was more than satisfied to be back on track. Ryu looked out the window with an evil grin, getting ready to make justice.
