Adventures of Equestria

Chapter Three: Ponies verses Dragons

The dragons on the ground and in the sky followed Garble orders and begin charging their breath weapons creating a line of multicolored orbs from the thousands of dragons present. Twilight flies closer to Garble waving her arms and a frantic fashion while pleading, "I'm begging you not to do this! The people here don't deserve to be attacked like this. They haven't done anything to warrant this scale of attack! Besides think about how many lives are going to be lost if a war starts; I know that you don't want that blood on your hands, and Spike is like a little brother to me if you want to fight someone, fight me but don't take it out on my friends or these innocents!"

Garble crosses his arms then a soft laugh starts to grow in volume until he is arching his back and tilting his head upward laughing into the sky as if in a maniacal state of trance. His brutish laughing continues for about five more seconds as the energy balls grow larger from the other dragons' breath weapons preparing rain down, a literal sense of, hell on Ponyville. He leans back forward giving Twilight a grim like look on his face while sporting a devilish smile he says in a low tone deep voice, "Your pleas and compassion all your friends is so sweet, but" he raises his hand and putting his first and middle finger together with his thumb as he continues saying, "it burns us! *snap*"

After that gesture, the dragons unleash their powerful breath weapons upon the semi defended city. Massive booms and blasts rock the buildings and ground when the breath weapons make connect. Multiple buildings are set on fire or blown to smithereens by the attacks; Twilight looks in shock as a green fireball crashes into her treehouse library setting it on fire. The purple princess covers her mouth and gasp seeing the carnage that is being rain down from above; then she looks to where the ground forces are stationed. With tears in her eyes, she literally watches as the walls of soldiers get blown away or set on fire by the attacking dragons. Some unicorns put up barriers to defend themselves and others, or they tried to deflect the blast using their magic beams, but all in all she witnesses a massive slaughter on the troops stationed in the area.

She moves her hands and put on an angry expression with tears dripping down the side of her face. She balls her fists and feels a growing hatred boiling within her making both the star on top of her crown and her eyes glow a dark purple as she says, "For what you have done I can never forgive you, and I will do everything within my power to destroy you!" She turns to everyone else and yells out, "EVERYONE ATTACK! DEFEND YOUR FRIENDS! DEFEND YOUR FAMILY! BY BRINGING THESE MURDEROUS DOGS DOWN!" She looks back at her opponent and holds her arms out to her side; she produces a purple orb in each hand. Then she closes her hands around the orbs creating a purple energy a double edge long sword in each hand. She charges at Garble slashing and thrusting with the skill of an expert at the red Dragon humanoid. He smiles while using his claws to deflect each attack that the young princess throws at him.

Rainbow Dash smiles twirling her titanium silver stick over her head, "Well alright time to pony up and beat them down! You guys are about to get a taste of my beating stick! CHARGE!" The lightning fast sky blue Pegasus speeds off leaving a rainbow trail behind her taking down several dragons with a barrage of strikes to critical pressure point areas knocking them out of the sky. "Come on where's your fight at! I have not even broken a sweat! I thought you dragons were supposed to be tough!" She laughs as another Dragon charges at her, but in a single sweeping motion, her charging opponent gasps in pain and falls to the ground. Rainbow erupts with laugher until three large ice balls come flying towards the supremely confident Pegasus; he catches sight of them in time and uses her staff breaks it in half before they can collide with her. Five more large frozen death spheres quickly rush in forcing her to only dodge just in time; she quickly glances around the battlefield to find out where they are coming from but is unable to figure it out before another three ice balls come at her; she dodges them while grunting out, "Ah damn it that was too close! Come out and face me you fucking coward! Or are you scared that I will hit you with my ugly stick!"

The sky blue Pegasus dodges more ice ball attacks; then a female voice says, "All right bitch let's dance!" Rainbow turns around to see a snow white female dragon wearing black jeans and an ice blue tank top. The woman cracks her claws while moving her head left and right popping her neck. Rainbow mimics the woman's movements while positioning her titanium quarterstaff waiting for the attack. The women stare each other down waiting for the other one to make the first move; in a blink of an eye the women start exchange blow after blow making a metallic sound after each collision. After several more collisions they back away from other for a second both breathing hard and still eye lock with each other. The white dragon smirks, "I have to the give it to you; you're good with that toy stick of yours. I'll be sure to take good care of it after I kill your worthless pony ass!"

Rainbow Dash only smiles twirling her staff over her head a couple times then points the staff at her opponent, "Then your better pony up or get beaten down!" The two women laugh and in the blink of an eye they become blurs that come crashing with each other then ricochet off in the opposite direction.

On the ground, both earth ponies and unicorns scramble around trying to avoid the oncoming breath weapon attacks from the wall dragons in front of them. Three giant fireballs come screaming in and explode close to the front lines being held by some of the local militia units. The giant blast rocks the entrenched fortification then causes it to catch on fire. The fight turns into a battle to not to be overwhelmed by the intense heat from the roaring flames front of them.

Another round fireballs comes flying at a fortified building; three of the four ponies posted at that station jump out the windows just in time as the death balls slam into the building and explodes on the wall. Fire begins to engulf the remaining part of the wall and spreads out. The three surviving soldiers turn back to only hear the screaming agonizing wails and pleads for help from their companion left behind, but his pleas fall silent when the remaining part of the burning building comes collapsing down. The soldiers are mesmerized by the site of their fellow soldier being killed to the point that they fail to realize a fireball comes directly at them; however, a unicorn dressed in the Royal Guard uniform jumps in between the oncoming attack and the shocked survivors. His yellow horn lights up transparent yellow along with his hands. He holds out his index finger making a full horizontal then vertical slash at the incoming death ball. He successfully cuts the fireball into four pieces making the attack explode a few feet in front of him.

He turns to the volunteer militia members and orders them, "Go to the secondary defense line and hold it at all costs!" It takes few seconds to register what he's ordering then he points toward the direction of the secondary defense line to only receive a nod from the three volunteers as they quickly turn around and run to the secondary area. Apple Jack runs past them seeing the fear in their eyes as she makes her way towards the Royal guard. She sports military camouflage gear with a bulletproof vest, but she adds her traditional brown rodeo hat with a matching brown unbuttoned rodeo vest with the symbol of her cutie Mark plastered on the back. She also wears her utility belt armed with her light brown lasso and two semiautomatic colt 45 six shooters. The handle of each gun is branded in gold with her cutie mark. She makes it up to the guard causing him to snap to attention and saluted, "Ma'am we have lost forward positions seven, nine, and fourteen. Lady Apple Jack, we have several major breaches in our line of defense; the dragons are advancing to quickly and with the amount of damage being rain down from the sky we have no way to defend ourselves if we are pushed any further into the city limits, they start to corner and encircle us."

The orange mare crosses her arms while looking down trying to think of away how to rectify the situation. After a few seconds, she says, "Damnit we got no choice start evacuating remaining citizens from the shelters; we are abandoning Ponyville."

The guard replies with shock in his voice, "But ma'am we had no way to draw their aerial fire away. The wonder bolts are stretched to the max and if we try to move anyone now it's just asking for slaughter!"

Apple Jack gives him a stern look and in a commanding voice orders him, "Listen, we can either risk the chance of everypony getting killed here when the dragons overrun us, or we can take our chances and make an attempt at trying to escape so we don't lose everybody! And when I last checked, Twilight put me in command of all of our ground forces, so what I says goes got it!"

The yellow stallion quickly salutes again and replies with an annoyed tone of the voice, "As you wish ma`am, but you better find a way to the cover our escape or the death of those people will be on your head!" After his statement, the guard runs off towards the emergency shelters.

AJ stands watching him run off with his words echoing in her head. A few more explosions go off behind her before she runs toward the crumbling line off of defense. She draws her guns and opens fire on the invaders and hits a couple of dragons in the heart and killing them on the spot. She sees another group of soldiers firing shots at the approaching enemies. She jumps behind their barricade just in time as a fireball comes crashing into the barrier being put up by one of the unicorns. The green barrier holds up against the blast but makes a resounding boom inside shaking everybody in there.

She looks at the shaking soldiers and sees one of them with a broken leg and a scorched arm. She exhales while reloading her guns; then she says, "What's the status here?"

One soldier fires off a magazine's worth of shots from his M6 assault rifle then he ducks back down while saying, "The enemy is advancing at a steady rate there's nothing we can do to stop them. Our bullets are having no effect and all the unicorns magic is barely slowing them down. Ma'am we saw you take them down with your guns with the difference?"

AJ looks at her guns and nods her head down while saying, "My guns are enchanted. Twilight was able to use a spell that should be able to penetrate the dragons' scale." She looks at the unicorn who is wearing a Royal Guards uniform then asks, "You're from Cantorlot right? Shouldn't you be able to put the same spell on their guns as well?"

The tan colored unicorn holds his head down shaking left and right while responding, "No ma'am I'm not that advanced in combat magic. I mainly specialize in erecting barriers and shields. If you must know ma'am, not many of us here are capable of that type of magic; Captain Sentry ordered mostly recruits, cadets, and some off duty veterans to report to this post. Damnit, I wish I stayed at home!"

"Son of the bitch! Wait till I get my hands on that stallion!" she replies bracing herself after another fire blast hits the barrier. She then hears a radio call go out and sees one of the soldiers listening to the COM unit. She quickly addresses him by asking, "What's going on?"

The earth stallion looks up at the orange mare and reports, "Well ma'am the news is not good; the right flank has fallen and the dragons are pushing forward. Most of our forces are in retreat back to the city. We and three other units are all that's left of the front line."

The orange cowgirl farmhand then asks, "Is there any information about Twilight or Rarity or Pinkie Pie or Rainbow Dash?"

The radio officer nods saying, "Yes ma'am! Princess Twilight is right now in one to one combat with the leader of the Dragon Army. Lieut. Dash is also entangled in battle with a female dragon. As for Lady Rarity, we have no information about her whereabouts after the opening volley. On the other hand, Lady Pinkie Pie says she is enjoying the festivities."

Apple Jack gives him an odd look when he motions his thumb to his right pointing outside. She looks outside and only can shake her head in disbelief seeing her pink friend literally jumping and dancing around the explosions and extreme close call fireballs. Without a second thought, she leaves the barrier running toward her friend; she quickly grabs the pink pony and pulls her out of the way of the incoming attacks behind a brick wall leading to an alley. "DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH OR SOMETHING!? WHAT IN TARNATION ARE YOU DOING?!" She yells while shaking her with Pinkie's back to the wall.

"Well duh! No I'm just enjoying all the fireworks that are flying around," Pinkie Pie replies with a smile on her face, "but they are making a mess of the place."

The orange mare feels the urge to only want to slap her friend but then says in a calming voice, "Pinkie listen to me very careful. We are in the middle of a massive battle and we are getting our asses handed to us; I want you to answer this one question. Do you have anything any weapons or can your cannon help us in any way form or fashion?"

The pink mare taps her finger to her chin thinking in a cartoonlike pose then claps her hands together saying, "Why of course I do!" She reaches to her side and roles in her famous sky blue colored party cannon.

"I don't think that's enough but…"

Pinkie jumps in interrupting Apple Jack by saying, "Well there is the possibility that I can do this!" She smiles spinning her right index finger then presses a button on the watch on her left arm making the little tiny screen go from black to green. Suddenly, hundreds to thousands of small slots open up under the ground revealing a party cannon in each slot.

Apple jacks face is full of shock seeing the numerous amount of cannons pointed towards the invading army. Then AJ turns back to her pink friend to see that she has done a major wardrobe change into a sky blue skin tight one piece jumpsuit with a pink streak running down on each of her sides with a matching helmet and a heads up display (HUD) showing many moving 'x's scrolling over the screen, "What in the tarnation are you wearing? And why are all those cannons doing around the town?"

"That's simple silly in the case of cannon emergency," Pinkie smiles and then she shouts, "NOW PREPARE FOR THE PINKIE PIE POWER POLARIZING PARALYZING PADDLING PAYBACK PLUMBUM PROJECTING PACKAGING PEACOCK POCKETING PRETZEL MAKING PUFFING PUMPING PARKWAY PUCKERING PRICKLING PLUMBING PLAYBOY PLAYFUL PARA BOXING PARADOX PRIZING PEPPERING PUNCHING PIMPING PLAYING PICKLING PUCKERING PUNISHING PLUNGING PICCOLOING PIED PIPING PARTY CANNON BARRAGE!"

The five thousand cannons place around the town lock into the dragons approaching the defense line and some in the sky whom were in a fight with a Pegasus pony. Almost at the same time, the cannons fire multi-colorful balls, but when the balls hit their target it explodes into a bright shower of the fireworks with small metal pellets ripping into the dragon target. The sound of the cries and yells fill the air as the burning hot shrapnel enters the eyes, ears, and other exposed areas of the enemy.

Apple Jack mouth is stuck open with ah as what looks like fifty to more dragons fall out of the sky, and the frontline advancing dragons are force to stop and fallback. "Way to go Pinkie that was amazing!" AJ comments then she turns shouting to everyone in the area, "ALRIGHT YOU ALL LISTEN UP! WE ARE FALLING BACK HURRY UP BEFORE THOSE VARMINTS CAN BACK AT US! GET TO THE SECOND LINE AND GET READY TO TEAR INTO THOSE BASTARDS THE SECOND THEY COME INTO OUR CITY!"She looks back at her pink friend as she takes off her helmet. "Pinkie get another round of those cannon shots ready so…"

Pinkie looks at her friend with a disappointed look, "I can't they were only set to fire once! We need another play!"

"Well damn it lets go before those fire breathes start moving in on us again!" AJ exclaims grabbing her friend and running to the tall building with soldiers station inside. The three story buildings outlining the hub of the city have the soldiers post on the eastern side of the building watch as the dragons restart their advance toward the city. The girls quickly dash in the building meeting with unicorn wearing a Royal Guard armor talking with Spitfire from the Wonderbolts.

"Major Coats you are not fucking hearing me! I don't have any more man power to spare!" Spitfire states with angry tone while hitting her hand on table with a map on of the city with small figures place to show the location. The fire colored hair woman then looks at her unicorn counterpart and explains, "We are moving the civilians to a safer location and the rest of my squads are providing air cover, so we better have a different plan in place."

The white unicorn strokes his chin trying to conceive another plan of attack. Maj. Coats looks at the magically enchanted map to see what the pieces that represented dragons moving closer to their location. "General Spitfire, is there anyway how we can draw our forces in for another defensive wave?" She looks at him for a second and shakes her head no; then he exhales and says with a grim tone, "Then there's only two options left; we can have our forces begin complete evacuation of the target area and hope that they don't follow us. If we want to save the city then, the other option is we erect a barrier to surround the area but we will be cutting off all the aerial personnel either way one option or the other somepony is going to get the shafted."

The Wonderbolt leader looks outside up at the sky to see her comrades bravely fighting off the dragon aerial invaders. She also spots Rainbow Dash going head-to-head with a white dragon in a fierce melee combat, "I don't like either option but if I am going to trap my comrades out there, then I'm going to be with them. Major the second I'm clear of the area raised the barrier," Spitfire states hopping on the ledge of the window preparing the soar into the sky.

Coats grabs her arm stopping her for a second; his eyes are filled with worry and compassion, "You better not die out there! Understand Spitfire!" She nods reaching back giving him a quick peck on the cheek then takes off into the air.

Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie walk up to the white unicorn, and AJ asks, "Major I know you have a lot on your hands, but we need to know something. Have you seen or heard anything from our friend Rarity?"

He looks back at his map then says, "I'm sorry ma'am we haven't heard anything about Lady Rarity since the attacks started. If you want I will have some guards escort you around the town to find her."

Apple Jack looks at Pinkie Pie then back at Major Coat and says, "No we have bigger problems to deal with. What is the situation on the ground?"

Major Coats points at the map and gives a depressing sigh and explains, "It's not good, all frontal forces are broken plus were taking major casualties from the bombardment from above. Worst-case scenario ma'am we won't be able to hold the city for no longer than an hour at the pace of their advancement. On the other hand, the best case scenario we are looking at is the dragons might be willing to stop their advancement, but I don't believe that will happen. Lady Apple Jack with all due respect ma'am I know that you're in charge of the ground forces, but I highly recommend that we began a full retreat and abandon Ponyville. I'm aware that you are you ordered that the civilians be evacuated to a safer location and Spitfire has done what she can to give them cover but in truth ma'am it puts us at a great disadvantage."

The orange female pony crosses her arms and lets her tail flap left then right as he tries to think of any possible solutions to the situation just before she says anything; the gray unicorn says, "There is one other possibility I can think of, but it requires that a bunch of our ground forces are going to be made stationary targets but they should be able to do this."

AJ says with a small gleam of hope in her eyes, "Whatever it is Major I will take it!"

"I'm going to have to be truthful with you ma'am most of the soldiers are comprised of new recruits and trainees some of which have had no experience for combat, but they were extensively trained in barrier creation. If anything we can set of the barrier around Ponyville, I don't know how long it will last but it might buy us enough time for either some reinforcements to arrive or something," the major states with a questionable look on his face.

"Well from the sounds of things that might be our best choice. Set up and…," AJ is interrupted when she hears someone yelling uncontrollably outside. They quickly dash to the window to see who the cause of it; they see Rarity screening and yelling while firing off energy blast from her fingers towards the battlefield. "Son of a bitch! What the hell is Rarity doing?!" she states running out of the command center to meet with her friend.

Rarity constantly keeps firing her blue beams of energy from her pointed finger in the direction of the dragons hitting them constantly and knocking some to the ground. Her anger boils over even more as they all start firing back at her, and she holds her hands over her head gathering energy within a sphere between her hands and with a mighty scream she fires a large energy beam left to the right either burning dragons out of the sky or being able to pierce their skin killing them. The dragons stop their advance for a second and take cover just as Rarity fires another wave of shots. After her numerous attacks, she stands on the front line for arms hanging down in front of her and slouching from the waist up breathing heavily.

Apple Jack and Pinkie Pie quickly rush of two their exhausted friend at the front line of the battlefield. Pinkie begins to say in an excited happy tone, "Wow that was amazing the way that you are firing all those beams from your finger like*zap**zap*! And then you fire this super awesome mega power beam from your hands and just cut in massive swath across the field! It was awesome!" She bounces up and down while holding on to the tired white female unicorn.

"I have to say Rarity that was something quite amazing. I even didn't know you have that ability to do that. Where did you go?" The earth pony asks.

She is finally able to regain enough energy to state, "Those ruffians destroyed my boutique! I'll make them all pay for what they've done! I will use every bit of my power to…" She is quickly cut off as three fire balls come crashing towards them. The attacks hit the ground and erupts. The shockwave makes them land on their backs.

It takes a moment for they are able to sit up only to see the dragons approaching the once more. The frightening sight begins to reveal itself when the enemy begins to charge up several breath weapons all aimed at three women.

In the sky, Twilight continues sparring with Garble unveiling her mastery of dual wield sword fighting. They break away from each other for a second revealing Twilight breathing heavy while keeping her eyes on her opponent. While her opponent shows no sign of exhaustion or fatigue, then he says with a smug tone, "What's the matter, is that all the energy you have, and here I was already go, but it looks like you can't deliver. It's pretty pathetic for an alicorn; I was told you guys have an abundance of energy and magical power. From the looks of things, its just a lie spread by ponies to make dragons feel scared. Now that I see the truth, I think I've a change of heart." Twilight gives him a questionable look seeing a growing smile on his face. He says while opening his arms out wide, "I just got the greatest idea. Once we're done here, we will go hit that lovely little palace of yours. You know the one that belongs to your mentor. There's no way that they will be able to stop neither me nor my army! Then, I will change to the world, so that weak people like you are destroyed! Yeah that's sounds like the best plan," he goes back to having his arms crossed across his chest and begins snickering while taking his eyes off of Twilight; the snickering escalates to full out evil laughter. Gable looks at Twilight then frowns and says, "What? You don't like the face that we destroyed your house, or my plans to go make those two high and mighty princesses performs some very interesting duties. One being eating my shit; then once I have my fun, I will hand them over to my men, so they can use their body to please them."

Twilight grits her teeth feeling a surge of anger and animosity towards the red dragon and his new ideas. She squeezes the handle of her energy sword and goes flying full speed towards him. Without missing a beat, he once again begins deflecting her sword strikes with his bare claws. He starts to laugh more as he continues deflecting her attacks causing the anger within Twilight grow even further and stronger with each deflected attack. Finally her anger comes to a boiling point, and she swings both swords in a downward motion only to be caught by Garble.

He only smiles giving an evil look to the purple alicorn. He squeezes his claws around the blade capture in his hands; he says in a low menacing voice, "Hey let me ask you something. From all heard about you, you're supposed to be super smart, but I guess you don't have a lot on information dragons. Let me give you a quick little piece of advice; back during the Crimson War they found out that energy weapons have no effect on us because…" He squeezes Twilight's blades tighter causing cracks to manifest from the place he is gripping. Her eyes widen with fear seeing the cracks in her swords and hearing a growing cracking sound. "Dragon claws are what we like to call magic cancelers. In other words, not only can our claws resists magic but *crash* we can destroy magical objects like your sword for example."

Twilight face is full of shock and fear as she sees both of her swords shatter Garble claws. Her arms flop to her side as her weapon deactivates leaving her empty-handed. After witnessing her weapons being destroyed, she floats there feeling her will to fight fully broken. Garble brushes his hands free of the remnants from the energy sword then says in a grim tone, "This looks like the end for you princess. Allow me to send you to hell in a blaze of glory." He charging up his breath weapon; he flies backwards while still charging up the weapon so not to be caught in the blast field. Once he is far enough back, he completes the attack making the fireball four times the size of Twilight. He lunges the massive heated fireball at the princess while saying, "Looks like the game is over for you and now I'm going to permanently put out your lights. So welcome to oblivion!"

Twilight tucks head behind her crosses her arms and closes her eyes waiting for her inevitable end. Suddenly she feels of rush of heat explode in front of her, but she doesn't feel any burning. Twilight slowly opens her eyes peering through the gap between her arms and sees a figure flying right in front of her with big purple green wings sticking out of the dirt brown colored hooded cloak. The mysterious figure keeps his back turned towards the purple princess showing no fear or anxiety after deflecting the massive attack.

Garble is astonished by the fact the new opponent was able to easily stop his massive fireball before hitting its target. He growls in frustration, but he is not deterred as he powers up another massive fireball and shoots it towards his two opponents.

Without a second of hesitation, the cloaked ally fires a breath weapon of his own of green fire striking the oncoming attack. The two fire attacks hit each other and become locked, but Garble then fires out a stream of his fireballs to help power of his original attack and push it forward while the cloak figure does the same. In the sky, everyone can sees the two massive surges of fire type breath weapons in a deadlock emanating waves of heat and light throughout the entire battlefield. The stalemate last for a couple of seconds; the cloaked figure infuses a great deal more energy into his green fire overwhelming the attack and forcing it back towards Garble. Garble makes the split-second decision to dodge as the fireballs go flying pass him then explodes lighting up the dawning sky. The red dragon growls clinging his fist turning all of his attention to the cloaked figure yelling, "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU! WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DEFENDING THESE WEAKLINGS?! ANSWER ME DAMMIT!"

The figure expresses a low level chuckle while still keeping his face hidden from the world; then he softly says loud enough for the red dragon to hear him, "To answer your second question, this is my home and I'm protecting my friends and family. For your first question, you should already know who I am. After all, you did challenge me to a match, but from the looks of things you decide to go ahead and start the party without me."

Garble growls even louder while yelling, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOUR TALKING ABOUT?! I DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND…" He stops in the middle of a sentence letting what his opponents said sink in, and then his face fills with shock the moment he realizes who he is talking to.

The figure quickly catches on seeing that his opponent has figured out his identity. He quickly says before Garble can continue, "You guessed it right!" Spike then pulls back the hood of his cloak unveiling his face for everyone to see. Twilight and Garble are shocked and awed at the newly transformed and mature looking purple dragon. "You really have some nerve don't you! This is supposed to be a battle between you and me not everyone here!"

Back on the ground, Rarity, Apple Jack, and Pinkie Pie try to mentally ready themselves as several dragons approach them. They launch their breath weapons at the women, and what seems to be a brown blur, another earth colored cloak figure uses her long wooden quarterstaff quickly intercepting the attacks. Once the attacks are destroyed, the cloaked person knocks the encroaching dragons back away from the young women. She then uses perfect acrobatics skills to land in front of the daze ponies. She throws off the hood from over her head making the three young women gasp her name. Zecora takes a quick glance back at the downed mares and says in one of her famous rhymes, "You silly pony folk what you trying to do get yourselves poached!" She turns her attention back to the dragons and brings up her right hand with two figures up in front of her face while saying:

Earth of power

Metal of strength

Erect a great earthen gate

To protect us from this horrid fate

At the end of her statement, a massive thick earthen wall shoots up from the ground along the entire unoccupied front line. With her task complete, she turns back to her friends and says, "Come we must retreat the barrier is almost complete. But do not fret your role in this battle is not over just yet!"

The red dragon only laughs, "Well, what did you expect me to do?! You weren't here to fight, so I decided to take my vengeance out on these weaklings!"

Spike responds with angry growl in his voice, "Now that I'm here you can stop this! I'm still willing to fight you one-on-one, but you've got to tell your forces to pull back and let this be an honorable battle between dragons, or are you just too scared to fight me?! Now that you see me in my true form!"

"It doesn't matter I'm still going to kill you anyway. Why not, my people use a little rest after kicking some of much pony ass," Garble comments then orders all his forces to cease the attack on the city. He then turns to Spike holding his hands out in a gesture of goodwill, "All right my forces are down. Now it's your turn after all we are looking for a fair fight."

Spike turns to face Twilight and says in a low tone, "Listen Twilight I need to pull everyone back I'll handle it from here on."

"But Spike there's too many of them and if we…"

Spike holds his finger up to his adopted older sister while saying, "Please Twilight you're going to have to trust me on this. I have the power necessary to beat them. My determination will not yield until I have beaten them, gone back home, and claimed the pony I love." He gives a comforting smile while slightly tilting his head, "Plus I have got so much to tell you and everyone else, I was able to meet my father and…" Spike quickly grabs Twilight and moves her back avoiding Garble sneak attack. "That was not call for!" the purple dragon states glancing back at his opponent.

"This isn't a wait and tell everything moment! You and I are supposed to have a duel, so let's get on with it!" Garble growls out in frustration.

Spike calmly continues his conversation ordering Twilight and the rest of the aerial forces to retreat. Twilight hesitantly agrees and orders everyone to start falling back towards the city. Once the last Pegasus have retreated, a blue shield wraps itself around Ponyville; Spike flies back up to meet Garble face-to-face. "I am sorry to keep you waiting; my master wanted me to learn a few more things before I came to this fight." Spike pulls off his brown cloak allowing it to float down in the air revealing him to be wearing a black muscle T-shirt with matching black jean and shoes. "I'm ready when you are!" Garble pops his knuckles and takes a fighting stance; Spike does the same in quickly says, "Let's dance!"

Inside the barrier, all the medical personal scramble around at a quicken pace to rush and move the seriously wounded and burned soldiers to treatment centers while others focus one putting out the wild burning fires. Twilight and Rainbow Dash see Rarity and others talking with each other; they fly down and meet with them while drawing attention. Twilight calls out to Apple Jack, "AJ its good to see you all safe and sound. How are Fluttershy and rest of the civilians doing?"

"They're doing just fine! I ordered them to move from the bunker and head for the Castle of the Two Sisters. They should be there by now!" AJ replies. Just as she completes here sentence, Fluttershy comes flying in to join the group.

"Apple Jack everyone made it, but I don't know how long they can hide there if the dragons decide to go hunting after them," the yellow Pegasus states landing near everyone.

Twilight then turns to their zebra friend and says, "Zecora it can't be dumb luck that you appear at the same time Spike comes back. What happen to him?" Rarity looks up through the lite-blue barrier to see Spike. She lets out a small gasp as she looks over Spike's new mature body while he stands face-to-face with his deadly opponent.

Zecora looks up then back at her friends, "Listen my pony friends worry not for Spike for there is a greater danger present in this fight!"

Rainbow Dash exclaims, "Zecora what are you talking about?! What is more dangerous than Spike going one on one with that jackass Garble! Plus what was Spike thinking telling us to fall back! I wasn't finish beating that ice bitch with my ugly stick!"

"Rainbow this isn't the time! Zecora what happened to Spike how did he get so… so…big?!" Rarity questions.

Zecora shakes her head then looks up as she says, "Look the battle begins!"

(A/N: To amp up this fight scene, listen to Requiem for a Dream trust us it is so awesome)

Spike and Garble stare at each gripping their fists tightly as the aura around their bodies start to glow highlighting the outline of their bodies. The two warrior dragons' auras start to light up the smog covered sky. From the ground, Spike's purple light equally matches Garble's red light. In a flash, the two light come racing toward each other at blinding speeds. They clash into each other then rocket off in different directions, but they loop around to clash together once again in a powerful loud crash.

The two mighty dragons are not easy shaken as they go charging at each other again. When they meet a series of the punches, kicks, blocks, counters, and counter blocks are exchange between the two warriors. Garble throws a straight punch, but Spike blocks the attack and counters with an upper cut, yet Garble parries the shot. Spike then comes in with a knee jab to the gut, yet Garble evades the attack while responding with a punch to face. The purple dragon deflects the punch to the side leaving his opponent wide open for a kick to the left side, but Garble spots the attack and quickly grabs the incoming limb. He readies himself to break the captured leg, but he is separated from the body part when he sees the heel of Garble's other leg rushing to him. Spike does a quick spin just in time to deflect an attack at his torso. Garble continues to follow through with his attack pushing Spike up, but Spike then kicks downward towards Garble's head. The red dragon ducks down to feel the energy and bottom of the foot sweep over his head. Garble growls thrusting his clawed fist straight up; Spike quickly mimics the attack. Their fists connect with other unleashing a wave of powerful blinding bright energy separating the two combatants.

The two are once again facing each other from a distance. A small stream of blood rolls down from Garble's forehand. He feels the small dip move down his sweat filled face; he looks at Spike to see a dribble of the blood come from the side of his mouth. Garble wipes the blood from his face then pauses looking at the crimson sweat mix liquid; he gives a sight smirk while saying, "Well I'll be damned! You were able to injury me a bit, and your knowledge in the dragon martial arts is something to be respected."

Spike wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth, and goes into another fighting stance while smiling, "Thanks your half bad yourself, although some of your moves are a little sloppy."

"Oh is that so," Garble smirks getting into a fighting stance of his own, "Well now that the warm up is done. Lets get serious!"

"My thoughts exactly!" Spike replies unleashing a powerful roar making his purple color aura glow brighter around him till it looks like flame engulfing his body. Garble does the same making his red aura flame up around him. In the blink of eye, the two charge at one another again when they crash a massive shockwave erupts from the collision. The wave is felt in every direction knocking down anyone standing.

On the ground, everyone is gets back to the feet and look to the sky at the entangled warriors. Twilight and the others are clearly shocked by the event unfolding above them. "This is unbelievable, how are Spike and Garble doing this? Where are they getting this power from?" Apple Jack says with fear in her voice.

"Please make them stop! EHHHHH!" Fluttershy screams and hides behind Twilight when another shockwave claps its thunderous sound.

"Are you kidding! This is awesome!" Rainbow Dash shouts fly up just a bit while shouting, "COME ON SPIKE KICK THAT FUCKING DRAGON'S ASS! SHOW HIM YOU CAN'T FUCK WITH PONYVILLE!"

"THAT RIGHT GIVE HIM A ONE TWO POW! RIGHT IN THE FACE FOR MESSING UP OUR WELCOME HOME TWILIGHT PARTY!" Pinkie Pie shouts alongside Rainbow Dash's chant.

Rarity flints every time a shockwave is release from the battling dragons. She holds her hands closely over her heart. Her heart beats rapidly while watching in horror of the fierce battle taking place. ~Spike please get through this I can't bear the thought that… I … I; what am I saying? I… I,~ Rarity is snapped out of thoughts when another powerful shockwave rips through the sky. Knocking anyone how is standing on the ground the floor once more.

Twilight gets up off of Fluttershy and looks on with both amazement and horror at the unfolding battle. "I never knew Spike had power like this within him!" She glances at the matured zebra to see her un-phased by the battle, but a with smile on her face at the performance. "Zecora, you have to tell us what is going on?! Is the true of power the dragons?"

"Young Twilight can you not see, you must watch this battle carefully!" Zecora states carefully watching the watching the break neck speed battle. "But a warning I will repeat. This battle is the opening treat. Be on your guard and still your hearts for the mastermind will soon reveal her evil plot!"

Spike quickly recovers from an attack that sent him flying backwards. He looks at Garble still with a smile on his face. Garble has the same smile on his face; Garble takes a deep breath and yells, "DRAGON FIRE!" He blows massive wall of fire lightening the up the sky.

Spike flies full speed into the wall of fire while yelling out, "DRAGON CLAW!" He slashes his open claws downward slicing ten slashes of air through the fire causing the flames to quickly disperse. He keeps flying at high speed charges towards his opponent; he extends his left fist shouting, "DRAGON FIST!" A beam of flaming purple energy shots out of his fist and straight at Garble less than five feet away from the red dragon's face.

Garble grunts floating backwards just a foot and half spreading his wings wide open then calls out, "DRAGON WIND!" His wings give three massive flaps stirring up the wind in an upward direction making Spike's attack beam curve upward away for him. "Well, well I'm surprised you've got more skills than I thought. They seem to be quite powerful, but you're still nothing compared to me! I'll give you this one chance to prove yourself as real dragon. Join us, and we will conquer these weaklings! What do you say Spike?!" Garble offers with his claw out in a welcoming fashion.

"Forget Garble I would never turn my back on my family or friends! Also I would never turn on the pony I love to join you! Rarity is depending on me to beat you and come home to her!" Spike replies loud enough for anyone to hear. Before Spike can even counter, Garble throws a powerful punch at him; sending the purple dragon rocketing down to earth making a giant crater in the ground.

Everyone gasps seeing the young purple dragon crash into the ground; once the dust clears they see Spike standing in the center of the crater without any injury. He spreads open is his wings waving off the lingering dusk. In a flash, he takes back off into the skies hearing the cheers and applause from the ponies watching from inside the barrier.

Rarity closely watches as Spike ascents are super speed; she starts to step forward holding out her arm reaching for the soaring dragon, "We have to help him! Twilight we have to do something! Twilight we…,"

Twilight quickly jumps in saying, "Rarity stop…" She holds her hand over her heart while looking up at her brother rushing back into battle, "We have to believe in Spike. I know he has the power to win this fight! SO COME SPIKE KICK THAT BULLY'S ASS!" Everyone starts to the cheer along with her.

Spike rockets towards Garble then folds in his wings while extending his body into a cone like form. He starts twisting until his whole body is wrapped in his spinning purple aura along with the air twisting into a funnel. Spike cries out, "DRAGON TWISTER!" Spike directs the twister straight at Garble. The red dragon holds out his hands trying to block the attack, but he is caught up into twister's power. He yells in frustration as her spins at high speeds. Spike aims the twister into nearby mountain and smashes the twister face first into the side of the mountain. The mountain side explodes and collapses in on itself; Spike hovers just outside the explosion radius watching for any sign of life.

The mountain continues to crumbs in on itself until there is nothing left but a giant pile of cracked rocks and boulders. A second later, the rubble being to rumble and beams of the red energy shot out from the cracks. The pile then explodes showering the entire area with rocks; Garble shots up from the center and come to an equal attitude with his purple revival. Garble now sports a couple scratchers and bruises over his body. He gives Spike a small smirk as his body is wrapped in his red aura; he shouts out, "DRAGON FURY!" Garble becomes a red blur and unloads a series of swift punches on Spike, but as just he tries to recover. Ten more punches strike their mark; forcing the young purple dragon to spit out blood from his mouth. Garble finishes his assault with a powerful twin fist hit to Spike's chest.

Spike is sent flying backwards at blinding speed and slams into the ground creating another massive size crater. The dust cloud shrouds the whole area; dirt and rock cover the brave young dragon as a he reawakens. He growls then bursts towards the surface and back into to the air to once again face his opponent. He spits out another glob of blood from his mouth and wipes the residue from the side of his face. "Well damn! I wasn't expecting that! I have to thank you for teaching me that new trick. Look Garble, you can lie to me, but I can sense that you are near your limit."

"You assume a lot you weak ass! I am nowhere near my limit!" Garble brags.

"Fine then how bout we finish this duel with one last attack. In the old days, dragons would settle a match with their breath weapons, so why don't we honor that tradition and finish this with one final blast from our fire!" Spike suggests getting into his final stance.

Garble does the same with smile on his face he replies, "Fine have it your way, my fire will burn you until there is nothing left. LETS GO!"

In unison the two male dragon warriors shout out while their auras flare up enough punch holes in through the smoke filled cloudy sky to allow for the sunlight to break through and shine down on them. "DRAGON FIRE BLAST!" They each lean forward holding out their hands while from their mouths waves out scorching heat flames rocket out. Spike's green fire meets with Garble's red-orange fire; the two colored flames meet and begin to entangle with each other to the point that they create a solid wall of flames.

Everyone is in 'ah' as they watch the two supersize walls of flames work to dominate the other. The sky is lite bright and the air burns hot from the close floating float star. Every couple of second a blast of flames explodes from the sides sending the flare in any direction. One flare rockets out and destroys a part of the forest. The area around blast zone burns brightly; seconds later another flare erupts from the fire balls. The flare makes a b-line to Sweet Apple Acres and the orchard fields. In the blink of an eye, the whole area is leveled and the rest of the area is left burning.

"NOOO!" Apple Jack screams seeing her birthplace and lifelong home completely destroyed. She grabs her hat and throws it to the ground then looks up back at the massive fire ball while cursing, "Motherfucker we just got the fields fixed after that last attack. Now this shit happens what the hell is Spike thinking what are we going to do… now…"

AJ stops in the mist of her sentence as she looks up to see another flare shoot off from the battle, and head straight from the barrier. "EVERY PONY HIT THE DECK!" Rainbow Dash screams as she huddles to the ground while covering her head. The flare makes contact with barrier, and cause the protective shield to bend and wrap up the pressure and weight of the flare. The flare continues to warp the barrier until it bursts leaving a sea of flames washing over the reshaping force field.

Once the flare disburses, everyone starts to breathe a sigh of relief, but when look back up they gasp and hold their breath in horror to see that Garble's flames start to overwhelm Spike's flames pushing them back to him. Rarity cries out, "Spike no please don't lose!"

Spike fights with all his strength to push the fire back, but he is unable to regain control of the fight. ~No this can't be happening! I'm losing this battle; I have to do something to get back in this fight, but my strength is almost gone. Please I don't want it to end this way! ~ Spike cries out in his mind.

Suddenly Spike hears a voice call to in his head, ~Spike, my son, what are you doing? Why are you holding yourself back? ~

Spike glances to his left to the see his transparent father floating next to him. ~Father, I can't stop him; he is to strong! ~

Ashkore growls replying, ~Spike don't you dare say things like that! You are my son and the power of greatest dragons flows within you; Spike all you have to let it out. Spike, you have the power to defeat Garble, but you must be willing to let it go and unleash it! ~

Spike softly says, ~I can't do this by myself. ~

~Son quiet your mind and listen, ~ Ashkore orders folding his arms. Spike closes his eyes and listens to the wind to hear the sounds of cheering and praise coming from the ground along with some shouts of encouragement from some of the dragons in the air. ~ Son, you carry the great duty and honor to protect and become the bridge to united two worlds. Spike you aren't alone you have to all your friends and family down there cheering you on. Plus you have garish some respect from the dragons up here. Son it is your destiny to be the hero that brings our people together and stop hate between the ponies and dragons. Spike, listen carefully; if you lose this battle, Garble won't stop until his blood lust is satisfied, and he will put everyone you know and love in grave danger. Spike even Rarity will not be safe from Garble's wrath. ~

Spike's eyes spring open hearing Ashkore's last statement; he quickly spots his son's reaction and continues, ~ Spike if you don't stop him here and now the future will be lost along with millions of lives, and the life of the pony you love. Son you can't let this weakening dragon stop you. You must stand strong and teach this up-stark dragon to know his place! ~ Spike growls hearing his father's words; his emerald eyes begin to glow brightly. Ashkore finishes up by exclaiming, ~SPIKE YOU IF DON'T WANT THIS ASSHOLE TO DESTROY THE WORLD, AND TAKE AWAY THE YOUR FUTURE MATE! YOU WILL STOP HIM HERE AND NOW! NOW SON UNLEASH THE POWER WITHIN LET FLOW THROUGH YOU, THE POWER OF YOUR FAMILY! DO IT NOW! ~

Spike's purple aura explodes and he yells out, "DRAGON RAGE!" Spike blows out a new wave of blue fire pushing back Garble's flame to him.

Garble's eyes bug out seeing his flame being overwhelmed; he tries with the remainder of his strength to regain control, but the red dragon's efforts are fruitless as Spike's blue flames consume his. "This be happening! NOOOO!" Garble screams as the cobalt fire engulf his body quickly followed by a power bright blue explosion that fills the sky blowing away all the cloud revealing the sun great light and the brilliant blue sky. The explosive flames fade away unveiling Garble in the center. He body is scolded and his clothes nearly burnt off. He remains hovering for a second then he turns head first down. Garble's lifeless body crashes into the ground with a painful thump.

Everyone waits to see if Garble will get up, but minutes pass like seconds and there is no sign of movement. Suddenly everyone turns to hear a loud mighty roar coming from none other than Spike. The young purple dragon declares in powerful booming voice, "I HEAR BY CLAIM VICTORY OVER THE ONE WHO DARE CHALLENGED ME! I AM VICTORIOUS! RECOGNIZED MY POWER AND KNOW THAT I HAVE WON!" Spike soon flies down to land.

Cheers and applause erupt from Ponyville as the barrier comes down. Twilight and the others go rushing over their friend's side. When they arrive, they see him standing in front of the burnt broken body of his opponent. Rainbow Dash and Twilight are the first the make to Spike. They grapple him into a hug as Rainbow shouts, "Way to go Spike; that was totally awesome. Not only did you kick his ass, but you showed him who the best dragon is!"

Twilight quickly follows up with just as the others catch up, "Rainbow is right you were unbelievable. I would have never imagined that you could do something like that!"

"Eup," AJ states walking up with others, "but I wish you could have not sent that flare that destroyed my farm and the fields."

Spike reaches behind of his head and rubs while saying with a smile in his new deep voice, "Sorry AJ, I never taught that would happen." Apple Jack gives him sight punch on shoulder with a smile on her face.

Fluttershy looks up from behind Twilight and says in a scary voice high pitch soft voice, "Sp…sp…Spike is… is that really you?" Spike nods with a kind smile on his face. She feels a little confidence building up in her; she moves from behind the purple alicorn and says, "Spike thank you so very much saving us!" Spike nods in approval with a smile on her face.

Zecora smiles looking at Spike; he then bows to her, "Master thank you for everything." Everyone's attention is drawn to her after hearing his statement

The beautiful zebra quickly responds, "You have done well, but don't be fooled. You still have much to learn! But I believe there is someone here you want to talk more than anyone else."

She steps to aside revealing Rarity holding her hands to chest over her heart close to her element of harmony. She looks at Spike seeing how much he has grown. She stands stills not budging an inch; suddenly she turns away from looking at him while closing her ears. She tries to step away, but she then feels herself in a strong embrace. She slowly opens her eyes and looks up the at the young dragon's handsome face behind her. "Spike I… I…"

Her words are cut off when Spike turns her around and puts her into a passionate heart-stopping kiss. Rarity's stiff body begins the melt in his arms; then she begins deepen the kiss. They continue to kiss each other until they are force to part in order to catch their breath. Spike looks into her eyes while softly whispering only that she can hear, "Rarity I love you and I will never let anybody bring harm to you. I know it's a lot to take in so quickly, but I have always looked at you from afar and now I finally am able to tell you face-to-face I want to be with you and be your very special somepony or dragon, but in my case probably both."

Rarity fixes her mouth to give a reply when they are both tackle by Pinkie while she screams, "YOU WERE AWESOME!"

Everyone starts laughing at Pinkie's actions, but Spike stops the moment he hears a gasp of air and coughing, from behind them. "I knew that wasn't enough to kill you. Good thing to," Spike pauses turning around to look at the broken body of his former opponent, "because I don't want to be considered someone who killed another in the midst of a duel."

A second after Spike makes his statement; everyone goes on their guard as the white dragon that Rainbow was fighting earlier along with two other dragons land near Garble. Rainbow makes a comment while twirling her quarterstaff, "I guess you didn't get enough of my beating stick. If you want some more I will be glad to oblige you, so you'll know why it's also got the name the ugly stick!"

The white dragon holds her hand up, "There is no need for that. Am I correct in assuming that Master Spike?"

Spike nods in agreement then says, "I'm glad to see that you will adhere to the rules of our duel."

White dragon looks closely at Spike and then says, "It is quite an honor to meet such a noble dragon as yourself. None of us here have ever before seen Dragon Rage used in battle before. We would have never guessed that you were a member of the royal family."

Garble coughs out more dust and dirt from his mouth while slowly working his way to an upright sitting position, "Sylvia what does that mean? He's no royal dragon!"

Sylvia turns to look at their beaten leader, "Of course he's a royal dragon; only members of the royal family can use the technique Dragon Rage. According to the history and tales from the old times, whenever Dragon Rage is used in battle the opponent is utterly disintegrated. Count yourself lucky that you didn't get incinerated by the blue flames, or should I say be glad that Spike used it the moment both your energies were running low." She turns back to Spike and the others to see that they are in a more relaxed state but still closely watching every single move that they make. She then points to the sky blue Pegasus while stating, "Your name is Rainbow Dash right?" Rainbow nods confirming her declaration. "My name is Sylvia Frostwing. It was an honor to fight you one-on-one, but when the time comes I want to have a rematch without any interruptions. Are you game?"

"You bet I am gamed then I'll really be able to show you the true power of my beating stick," Rainbow response while twirling the titanium quarterstaff over her head.

Sylvia faces Spike while stating, "I'm sorry that we caused so much damage and for the losses that you have incurred. Garble told us that if you didn't show up to the battle that we're free to do what we want to do, but we didn't give you the proper amount of time to see if you show up. I'm quite sorry for everything that has happened to your home. I know there's not much we can do but…"

Garble yells out while coughing out the remainder of the dust trapped in his lungs, "Don't apologize to these pathetic weakling you're dishonoring yourself don't you realize that! Order everyone to continue the attack!"

Sylvia sends a death glare towards the defiant red dragon, "You're the one dishonoring your by giving such a command." She then looks back at Spike still holding Rarity in his arms; she slowly scans up and down observing every inch of the muscular purple dragon. She says in a sultry voice, "Damn I wish you didn't have a girlfriend because…" She stops herself in mid-sentence holding up her hand, "I'm sorry that is rude of me. If there anything we can do to help with the rebuilding of your home all you need to do is ask."

"Thank you, but I think you we have everything under control. I wish you all a safe trip back home," Spike replies. He then glances at Garble asking, "What will happen to him?"

The white dragon turns back around just as they see Garble being pickup by the two other dragons, "Well it depends on what the elders decide. They may even send him back here to face trial for breaking the old peace treaty. Before we go, I have one question for you. Any dragon that is able to use Dragon Rage has a direct connection to the old royal family, and from the way I and the others heard you speak you must have knowledge of the old ways. Tell us who are your parents and what happen to them?"

Spike takes a deep breath and holds Rarity closer to him, "My mother is missing, and my father is died." Everyone but two is feels a wave of the shock then sadness run through them hearing the news.

"What are their names?" Sylvia continues questioning.

Spike takes another deep breath and reveals, "My mother's name is Starlight Sparkle!"

Twilight along with the other mane six's eyes bug out hearing the name of Spike's mother. Sylvia thinks for a second then replies, "That doesn't like a dragon's name."

"You're right, my mother isn't a dragon. She is a unicorn," Spike confirms making them all gasp in 'ah' hearing the information.

Twilight then says in a panic voice, "Spike are you sure about that name because that last is…"

Spike jumps in finishing, "Sparkle. Yes I am saying the correct name, so to answer your next question yes we are related by blood. Its kinda a long story, so I will explain it later."

"What was your father's name?" Rainbow questions.

"Ashkore the Peacemaker," Spike replies with pride in his voice.

"WHAT!" the dragons all scream in response hearing the name of Spike's father.

Sylvia than says, "Are you sure that your father is Ashkore the Peacemaker?" Spike nods confirming his answer. "Spike you are aware what your father did to our people?"

"Yes! I know my dad kill his father in order to stop the war that he started. If anyone wants to the take vengeance for what dad did; I will be the only one to accept the consequences!"

"No! You have it all wrong. Your father's actions were the most noble we…"

"ENOUGH SYLVIA!" Garble yells pushing away the two dragons helping him stand up. His legs wobble as he steps towards Sylvia. She turns backs around with an angry look in her eyes. His breathing is heavy as he continues moving forward toward the white dragon while saying, "I have hear enough of this bullshit! I don't give a fuck if Spike is a member of the former royal family. I don't give a fuck if the piss ant beat me! I will have my revenge!" Spike and the girls start to step back when they notice that Garble's eyes begin to glow an eerie green light. He stretches out his hand and wraps it around Sylvia's throat squeezing down hard. She tries to break his hold, but she is unable to while she feels her strength begin draining from her body.

Before everybody's eyes, the young beautiful white dragon begin to the rapidly age. Her body glows green then in bright flash everyone hears her scream in pain and terror as she disappears in the green flash. Garble begins to the laugh uncontrollable while his body glows the oozy green color. "Yes this power, this is what I wanted!" Garble exclaims looking at his hands feeling a well of renew power and strength flow through his body. He gives an evil smile and moves his hand to the other two dragons. They begins to shake as their bodies glow green then disappears only leaving behind their cloths.

"What the hell is he doing Spike?" Rarity questions while gripping tightly to him.

Garble then holds up his hands making all the other dragons glow green while he shouts, "GIVE ME YOUR POWER!" Hundreds of flashes erupt through the air while screams fill the air.

The once sky and ground filled with dragons lay empty, they looks at Garble as his aura burns a black green flame color. Spike growls pushing Rarity behind him, "Garble, what the hell did you do?! Why did you make everyone else disappear?"

Garble only laughs intoxicated by his own power. The red dragon then gives an evil smile then says, "Why I just absorb them into me, their power now follows with me. As for what I'm doing," his voice suddenly drops into a deep menacing tone, "I'M GOING TO UNLEASED THE DRAGOOOONNNNNN!"
