Mlp: Rise of Tiamat

Chapter Three

[Meeting with Ember]

One week ago

A few hours after Tiamat’s release.

Lizardos, the capital of Reptilia, and home to current Dragon Lord Ember who was seen pacing around in a fit of anger in front of her obsidian throne.

“Those fucking lizards!” She roared in anger, “How can they let this happen. . .they were supposed to prevent stuff like this from happening, arrrggg!”

The blue dragoness stood about five foot eight inches and wore her the golden armor she had worn during the Gauntlet of Fire. Ever since she became Dragon Lord, her father (out of obligation) had taught her everything she needed to know about running the country's, the services in Reptilia, and the departments off-world.

The D.S.S (Draconic Secret Service) is just like E.S.S, having its own spies, assassins, soldiers, etc. Then there the D.P.S (Demonic Prevention Service), an organization that prevents cults from summoning demons, and other eldritch abominations from entering into their realm and cause havoc amongst the Equus' populations. The famous or infamous one in this case is The Dark Scales.

The D.P.S was formed during King Flames' rule to stop cults from resurrecting Tiamat. Now that she was free, Ember became extremely worried. There was nothing stopping the fallen goddess from coming into to the throne and challenge Ember into a duel for the bloodstone scepter, or just simply take it and kill her in the process. The blue dragoness was the definition of a warrior. She was trained to fight, (all for her father’s recognition.) She knew only a handful of draconic magic.

All of them were offensive spells of course.

“Wait.” Ember said as she stopped her pacing and stepped out of the hole she created by doing so, “Smolder would tell me about the powers of harmony whenever she’s here. You!” She pointed to one of her guards that stood beside the throne. “Get me a quill and paper! NOW!” Ember yelled, causing the guard to flinch and rush out of the throne room. After a minute the guard returned with the requested items.

Scratching the quill and pen, she thanked the guard and begin to write,

Dear Princess Twilight.

I hate to ask, and it goes against my pride as a dragon, but I request your help. There’s a powerful enemy that's been released upon the world and well, you’re in danger, your friends are in danger. And Spike...

Ember paused her writing, thinking about the small purple and green dragon. He was her friend…No, her very first friend. Ever since the Gauntlet of Fire, he not only gained her respect , but also her trust. It would be her fault if any harm befalls him because of this. She will do this not only for her own kind but for him.

Anyway I request you and your friend's presence at once to discuss this matter. I feel I may no longer be Dragon Lord. I. . .no we the dragons need your help, and only you and your friends can do this.

This message cannot be ignored.

I await your reply.

Dragon Lord Ember.

Ps; Do not tell Spike about this.

After checking, and double-checking the letter, the dragoness nodded in approval before rolling up the stroll, then blew her purple flame. Once the purple flames touched the scroll, it turned into a purple mist and floated out of the window. It’s a simple spell that dragon parents taught their children when there were old enough to freely control their fire.

Not even a minute later, Ember let out a loud belch of purple fire which materialized into two scrolls. She picked up the two and read the first one.

Dear Dragon Lord Ember

I regret to inform you that we came from the D.P.S as well as Emperor Seer's Imperial Guard unit Captain Rebellion, and his twin brother Captain Yamato have found the sources of the dark spike in energy.

The source came from Dragon Tail Mountain.

We also found the unit that kept watch of the base of the mountain. They died from slit throats, fatal stab wounds and asphyxiation among other methods. From what Captain Yamato told me, the unit had been dead for a while now.

We're sure to keep you informed my Lord

D.P.S Agent Fang.

After reading the letter, Ember shook in fear. “If that fox’s unit is there then it must be bigger than we anticipated.” She then looked at the other letter.

Dear Dragon Lord Ember,

We already know the situation courtesy from this ‘Emperor Seer’. I was about to write to you about this situation. We’re on our way. To be frank, after what Seer said, we’re afraid.

Hoping to see you soon Princess of Friendship Twilight Sparkle.

P.S; Don’t worry, I was called to Canterlot and left Spike home. I’ll tell him you said hi.

Ember sighed in relief. Everything will be fine. Twilight and her friends are coming and whoever was released would be defeated. This will be hard to explain to them.

The train ride was just filled with the sounds of the roaring engine, the occasional train whistle and chatting of ponies, and a few other creatures visiting such as Hippogriffs Gryphonies, buffalos, and a Yak.

Rainbow Dash telling Pinkie what she’ll do to any Dark Scale culties who was stupid enough to attack them by throwing punches and kicks which accidentally hit a dark light tan earth pony with a dark brown mane that goes by the name of Numb Nuts.

“Thanks miss, my head was killing me for the longest.” Numb Nuts said sarcastically. But in true it didn’t hurt him the slightest.

Out of embarrassment, Rainbow Dash looked away. “Sorry.” The stallion just wave his hand, not minding the blow or the noticeable lump on his head.

Meanwhile, Rarity was talking about some of the different gems she needed for her designs for the next coming line up this summer, with Fluttershy and Applejack listen.

“Ah tell ya, dragons don’t care much fashion." Applejack argued.

“Oh nonsense Applejack, remember when Ember and Smolder came to the grand galloping gala, and those lovely dresses they wore.” Rarity begin, remember the dresses the three dragons wore. Ember wore a golden plated purple dress with matching gloves. She wore a gold ring on her curved horn. She look stunner despite being a tomboy.

Smolder who was dragged along wore a blue and yellow dress with a yellow thin slash around her waist. Matching gloves and a small bow tie on the side of her head. The 21-year old dragon was embarrassed throughout the entire night. Even if she was with her five friends, and ‘crush’ her cheeks were bright red. She however did enjoy wearing something girly and elegant. It didn’t stop a certain purple and green dragon from complimenting her.

Celestia had invited the dragon lord, and one other dragon to the annual Grand Galloping Gala out of friendship and wanted the leader of the dragons to enjoy themselves. Things were fine at first. The princess and dragonlord greeted ponies with handshakes and curtsy. Some, mostly any elites from Canterlot, just passed by Ember, some even making comments on why those beasts were in their fair city.

As much as she wanted to chew those assholes a new one, she remains calm and walked back to enjoy her time, which was mostly with Spike, Smolder, and two other mares Spike seems to have known.

The night ended with Smolder having enough of the comments, ponies hitting on her which she clearly stated that if any pony she would even date would be Sandbar. In one case both hers and Ember rear slap which ended up with two stallions having a couple of broken bones and a black eye she then flew somewhere to get away from all of the complements. But deep down she was happy to think she was as pretty as her Dragon Lord.

“Well form what Ember and Smolder told me.” Twilight stammered, trying to find the best way to put it. “Dragons do wear clothes, but during events like the Gauntlet of Fire, they’re all naked.”

“What does the book say about this Tiamat?” Fluttershy asked, wanting to change the subject seeing her friends embarrassed faces, granted her cheeks were heating up as well.

“Oh, Seer was right, there's tons of information on not only her but the entire dragon pantheon.” Twilight explained, “For ages, sages debated whether if Tiamat was actually a deity or not. Many believed she was the archetype of evil to dragons. A devil or a demon, the avatar of another deity or even a mortal dragon so powerful that chromatic dragons revered her as their queen and creator. Whatever she was, sages knew for certain that she was powerful and worshiped by evil dragons as a goddess.” Twilight read, gaining the attention of her other two friends.

“Yep, sounds like something Big Mac, Spike, and Discord would come up during their ‘boys night’. ” Applejack stated.

“I hear ya, but I wouldn’t mind joining them in their boys night again.” Rainbow snickered, remembering the last campaign she, and Pinkie has been on. In fact, the last campaign was a sneaking mission to save Princess Smarity from the clutches of a 40-foot tall spiked turtle that can spew fire. Needless to say, Discord will never go on a sneaking mission ever again.

“The fact is,” The lavender princess continued. “that Tiamat is actually a goddess. She came into existence alongside the rest of the draconic pantheon when the first dragons were born on Equus. Her origins are highly conflicting. However, there were many theories on how she came into being.”

“I wonder what her true origins?” Asked a slightly confused Starlight. The light velvet unicorn was seeing her best friend Sunburst back to the Crystal Empire. She wore an electric blue blouse, courtesy of Rarity, with matching jeans. When Starlight heard the gang was heading towards Reptilia, She wanted to come along.

“It said through commonly accepted traditions that she was the daughter of Asgorath, who is commonly known as Io, and the twin sister of Bahamut. While in the myths of the Dragons of Abeir, Bahamut and Tiamat were both born from the scales of Io, who bestowed them with cosmic powers, as well as virtual and life and death. What made Tiamat evil is unknown, but theories have suggested that it was part of her nature.”

Starlight looked at the book "It also says that Tiamat has the power of corruption. With these powers, she can bring out someone’s darkest desires by a simple touch, visual contact, or whisper. Only a few deities are immune to Tiamat’s corruption While it’s true Tiamat’s power alone is what made her feared by everyone. Her power allowed her to corrupt any creature, no matter who it was, turning those into a hostile creature that had no control over there tenderness. That tenderness and urges allowed Tiamat to create an army that was loyal only to her. She’s the most ruthless and merciless upon the dragons. Some even say that dragons of different races would fight against each other just to prove themselves as a worthy mate.”

”Did she find one?” Fluttershy asked out of curiosity.

Twilight looked at everyone then shook her head. "Kinda, It was a rumor that A deity name Abzu became Tiamat’s mate. It was believed that Abuz magic over was so powerful that it could nullify any magic that was weaker than his. He was the only dragon that could stand up to Tiamat beside her brother Bahamut in terms of power. Legend says that she took him as her one true mate, but no one knows for sure that they had a child or not.” After Twilight read the final lore, everyone became silent.

Rainbow broke the silence by saying what everyone was thinking. “What would happen if they did have a child together?”

Twilight looked at all of them with a very serious look before replying, “Don’t know. From what Celestia taught me is that every deity is different. But if I had to guess, the hatching would share traces of both parents powers. Luckily, it's said that there were no records of Tiamat and Abzu having an egg.” Twilight added before closing the book. There was no more information on Tiamat on how she became evil or whatever happened to husband Abzu.

After a train ride, and boat ride the seven were finally in the capital of Reptilia, Lizardos. The last time Rainbow, Spike, Twilight and Rarity were here, there have been camps of sticks and stones. A couple of lava pools and a couple of caves that act like homes.

It was as big as Manehatten with buildings that reach for the sky. Condos and apartments, stores, and business. The black basalt streets looked clean with little to no litter. With tuff stone that acted like sidewalks. What surprised the group, even more, was the active volcano that the city. Lava flows down from the tip like a river.

A couple of kirin, a few sea serpents, and sirens, as well as dragons with furry tail tips, walked down the streets, entering stores for clothing, or snacks or other essentials they needed.

“Oh! snacks!” In a pink blur, Pinkie ran into the store that sells snacks. What she didn’t know was that this store sold meat as well, more precisely, jerky. Pinkie comes back out as quickly as she went in. Her face as green as grass on the plains during spring. “So gross! Why would that sell something like that!?” Pinkie exclaim.

“Bad sweets?” Applejack asked with a raised brow. She knows Pinkie. Whatever a new city she was in, the first thing she would do is to go to a shop that sells snacks and other sweets.

“T-T-T-They serve meat!” After she said that, all of the girl’s faces went as green as swamp water. In Fluttershy’s case fainted. She was an animal lover after all, and eating meat was a taboo, especially when it comes to cute critters. This, of course, caused the dragons to stop and stared at the scene.

“Well, dud.” One dragon said, walking past the seven. “Meat is one of our main diets. I thought you ponies knew that.” The dragons roll their eyes and resume their day to day business.

“Princess Sparkle.” A dragon with brown scales that wore golden armor flew down before the group. He was tall, about six feet in height.

Twilight regained her composure only to look at the dragon. “Dragon Lord Ember is expecting you.” He sees the seven mares. He was told there would be six of them. The guard just, thinking it was another pony friend of Ember. His eyes then glaze down at one of the fallen butter coated pegasus. “What's wrong with her?” The guard said pointed at the unconscious mare. The girls just laughed and looked away not knowing what to tell the Dragon. The dragon could only mutter. ‘Weak stomached ponies.’ He then picked Fluttershy up bridal style and escorted the girls to Dragonlord Ember castle.

The group stopped at the gate at the base of the volcano The huge gate was made out of obsidian which opens. “Oh boy. This place is creepier than when our barn was turned into a haunted house.”Commenting Applejack looking around at the inside.

“Before we enter I advise you to cast yourself a fire protection spell.” The guard said to which Twilight and Starlight did. Their horns glow in a combination of electric blue and violet, covering themselves and the others. Once the spell was completed the group enter.

Whatever creepy factor the girls had was instantly lost when there walked through the main gate and to a door that house another golden armor dragon, who was sitting on a chair. “Main court.” The dragon holding the unconscious order, to which he nodded, pressing one of the buttons that were labeled court. Once there, the door opened revealing what there were expecting. Instead of a pushed garden filled with local and exotic plant life which there’re used to seeing in Canterlot castle, it was just molten lava with a bridge connected to the five-story castle.

“Watch your step.” The guard warned as the gang cross. In the castle, maids and servants to the dragon lord roam about, cleaning the polished black stone floor, or dusting off items from the past dragon lords, and heat resistant glass that held the molten hot magma.

“So um do you use lava for everything?” Starlight asked hoping to strike up a conversation.

“We actually do.” The dragon answer. “ We use it for cooking and cleaning.”

“Wait you clean your stuff with lava? Even clothes?” Rarity asked.

“Yes, we make heat resistant clothes and metals. In Fact when it comes to food, you have to be quick about it otherwise we’ll be eating carbonated ashes. As for cleaning, dragons do get dead scales to those hard to reach places, and a nice lava bath is the only to get them out. Also it kills almost every gem and or bacteria on an unclean surface.”

The dragonic guard continued until they reach the throne room. It was like the throne room in Canterlot only with one seat with a symbol of a dragon at the top. There were windows of past dragon lords, from King Flame and his mate Lady Ignition to Dragon-lord Torch and his mate Lady Ignitus. And the last one Dragon Lord Ember wearing her golden armor and raising the Blood scepter up to the sky. Sitting on the throne was the Dragon Lord herself. Next to her a tall pale blue dragon who stood about 7 foot, 11 inches tall. His horns much like his daughter reach down his side and curve upwards.

The tall pale blue dragon wore black armor. Despite being old if not older than the celestial sisters combined, he looked like he was in his late 30s to mid 40s.

The group bowed save for Fluttershy who just remained unconscious in the guard's arms.

“What’s wrong with her?” Asked the former dragon lord. His voice booming voice echoed throughout the chamber.

“The ponies found out we eat meat here.” The guard answers.

“You do know meat is one of the main sources of our diet. Right?” Ember asked with her head tilted to the side. “I thought I told you this when I sent Smolder to your school.”

At this point, The princess of friendship cheeks turns into a bright red color, forgetting that detail.

“So that’s why she goes missing during lunch from time to time.” Pinkie placed her hands on her chin, remember her and the girls getting complaints about the young dragon leaving school grounds, and her dorm.

“Now I worry about Spike when his hunger pains hit.” The blue dragoness shook her head. She felt sorry for the ponies when those pains hit. “I’ll tell you all about it some other time, but back to point I brought you all here. I fear that the fallen goddess Tiamat has been free.”

Touch begin. “Since you ponies aren’t aware-”

“Tiamat is the most powerful evil dragon hell-bent on ruining not only this world but others beyond it.” Twilight answer much to the shock of the dragons.

Ember blinked, then closed her mouth. “Ok...I highly doubt Spike knows about his own pantheon, but how-”

“Hehe Seer gave me this.” She said holding up the brown O&O book.

“Of course that three-eyed fox is involved.” Touch said rolling his eyes.

“Father! You know as well as I do that this is a very serious matter if one of the fates is involved.” Ember retorted. “Beside we need all the help we can get.”

“You are the dragon lord Ember.” The pale blue dragon sighed. “I’ll support your decision. But that doesn't mean I like it.”

“Ember, Seer did say that there was spiked in dark magic that came from here, but he isn’t sure if it’s Tiamat or not.” Just as Twilight was about to add on, a purple line appears then a line that moved across it, making it look like a cross. The lines expanded ripping reality like it has been cut by a sword. Four figures walked out of the portal. Two of the figures were dragons. One had orange scales, pink spikes that cover her head down, and bright purple cat-like eyes. She wore a white robe with red lines.

Her name was Sister Temperantia. The other was a blue dragon with light blue hair. Like his partner the other two wore robes just like him, his name was Fang.

The other two were wasn’t something any creature was expecting. Seer said a couple of his agents were in Reptilia, he never said whom. Ember and Team Harmony were expecting foxes instead there were two Abyssinian. Both males about the same height of 5 foot 11 inches. Their fur was white with black ears, paws, and tails.

There hairs white as snow, and eyes of blue. They both wore a black kimono with a matching hakama along with a white haori that reach to their paws. One had a sheath katana with a long lose sageo( a length of cord, made of either cotton or silk, tied through the kurikata on the saya (scabbard) of a Samurai sword) His hair were slit back, making it look spikey.

The other had a two-handed broadsword with a demonic skull with an open mouth like a guard. His hair covers parts of his eyes. All eyes just stared at the two Abyssinian twins.

The first one to say anything was Pinkie pie. “Those guys look like they are monster hunters!”

“Ha.” The one with the hair down laughed. “That’s 40 bits brother.” His voice was smooth but had a natural tone to it.

The other just grumble and reach into his kimoto with his free hand, and pull out a pouch that held the amount. “We should have worn our coats.” The spiked siamese Abyssinian voice was soft but had a nerdy rough tone to it.

“Hey, it’s regulation in the court guard.” He then turned to the pink mare. “Pinkie Pie right? Nice to finally meet you-”

“I’m Captain Yamato of the 13 imperial court guard Demonic Prevention Unit.” The Abyssinian interrupted. “And this buffoon next to me is my brother.” Yamato sighed. “and Captain of unit 9 Rebellion.”

The cat’s brother looked at him with a smile on his face. “Oh I’m the buffoon. Oh who here kicked your sorry ass a hundred different time? Oh that’s right.” He pointed to himself. “Me! And your own son as well.”

“Whoever taught you to count really need to be fried from teaching. And once again we’re even! And Blue Rose has nothing to do with this.” The twin yell causing a sweat drops to form on all parties presents. “Or do you want to take this outside Rebellion? Since you keep insinuating that you beat me in our last game?”

Fang clears his throat. “Before those two decide to slice each other, which I’m pretty sure your emperor forbid you two to draw your weapons at each other. We have some grave news.”

“The temple where Tiamat was seal had been compromised, her stone statue is gone, and we had confirmed about 40 bodies. 20 on the base, and another 20 within the temple.” Temperantia said regretfully wishing the whole thing wasn’t true. This made both ponies and dragons pale.

“Our guess is that The Dark Scale was behind the massacre.” Rebellion said and place his paws over his head.

“We also guess that they somehow capture five souls in order to free her.” Yamoto added. “We found the lifeless corpse of five females of various species.

“Where do you think The cult could be now?” Ember said with a strong but scared tone in her voice. the dragon lord, who acted like a tomboy must of her life, was frightened like a small girl seeing a monster for the first time. She along with her father heard stories on what Tiamat is capable of.

Both dragons looked down in shame, and shook their heads.“We’re not sure my lord. Even if she’s weak, Tiamat is clever. She knew we'll becoming.”

“Besides, our boss said she’ll most likely in the dragon lands, right? All we have to do is find one of her temples get one of her followers and take him or her in for questioning.” The Rebellion said nonchalantly.

“Well this is going to be tricky but I have to agree with this moron here.” Both the twins turn and walked out of the throne room.

“Wait a darn toothing minute.” Stomp Applejack, causing both the brothers to stop. “and wherein hay are y'all think you're going?” Ask the country mare.

“We going to check each temple in the city. Cults as big as this tend to hide churches in public view.” Yamato explains.

“Well, we’re coming too.” Rainbow exclaim. “The more of us out there, the better chances in finding those temples.”

The two brothers only looked at each other, then shrugs. “Seer said we have to share any information with you. So as long as your not dead weight into our investigation, then I don’t see the harm you ponies tagging along.”

“Agree, but if you impede in our investigation, we will cut you down.” Warned the spiky-haired feline.

That made the girls smiled and nods. The six mares followed the two brothers to their destinations leaving Fluttershy behind since she wasn’t coming out of her coma. They're sure Ember would accommodate her.

“We’ll check for any towns and or cities that have a very strong or heavy influence in the Dark Scales ways.” Sister Temperantia and Fang bowed before turning and leaving the throne room.

The first church Rebelion, Rainbow Dash, Starlight, and Applejack went too was the church of deed. Which was down the block from the castle.

“Woah woah woah. Wait. . .you mean the stories in Pony May Cry are true?” Rainbow asked realizing who the twins were. They were from her and Scootaloo’s favorite game The Pony May Cry series.

Rebelion just grin. “About time you figure it out. I was beginning to worry that you haven’t heard of us. Yea, me and my bone head of a brother are the twin sons of the dark cat knight Sparda. And we are as strong as the story says. “The younger son explained. “Don’t know why me and Yamato. . .or Blue Rose even bat ponies?”

“So how did you, a strong badass demon hunter like you and your brother became part of the royal guard?”

“For starters, we’re not apart of his royal guard. We’re part of a task force that is within the imperial guard or something like that. You see, Seer has two branches, the imperial guard that watches over the land and maintain order for the citizens of Vulpius Terra. Then the royal guard which are tasked with protecting the royal family. And as for how we work for him. He made us an offer.” The feline smile remembering the battle between him, his brother and the nine-tailed fox. “If we win, then he’ll send us to a realm where we can settle our family matter. If he wins, then we put aside our sibling rivalry and work for him.”

“So what happened?” Asked a now eager Rainbow Dash.

“What you think. He tore us a new one like you wouldn’t believe. He even shut down our Devil Trigger. But here we are. Debt-free, and doing what I love, kicking and purifying demonic ass.” The feline smile and slam his fist in his palm.

The girls nod and made a mental note to never make the brothers mad. No matter what.

Once they were by the giant wooden door, the feline not giving any fucks kicked open the door, causing all parties (which were dragons) to look at the sudden intruders. Each of them was wearing a symbol of The Dark Scale cult. The feline smiled. “You girls might want to wait outside. Things here are about to get crazy.

Yamato on his part was getting annoyed. It wasn’t because he was far from his brother. To be frank, he was happy, No, it was because of Pinkie Pie. With how hyper Pinkie is. He felt like shoving his sword through her head.

“SoIknowyourfromPonymaycrywhereyouwereevilandstuffwantingtohaveyoufather’spowerbutfailedandyouwastrappedinthedemonworldwhereyoubecameaknightforthedemonprincebutyourbrotherrebellionthoughhekilledyoubutdidn’t.” She took in a single breath and much to Yamato delight, but Twilight and Rarity only clap their hands together apologetically. Pinkie begins to talk once again.

All Yamato could do was roll his eyes and huff in frustration.

“Can you please stop your rambling for a few minutes!” Yamato yelled in frustration. The girls chuckled a little bit. But stopped immediately when Yamato gave them a glare that could melt steel. The group was walking along side the tuff stone side walked. Their target were in the scaly ally where rumor said there was a white door that leads to one of Tiamat’s temples. The only catch is that the door opens once a week. And when it closes the only way to open it, is from the other side.

They found this out after integrating a low ranking follower of the Dark Scales who was acting very suspicious.

Lucky for them, the door was open. Quickly the group entered, with the door closing behind them. Lights illuminated the narrow brown hallway.

Yamato, Twilight, Rarity and Pinkie walked down. Well Yamato walked down the corridor in a casual pace with the girls following behind with fear on their faces. Techno music begins to play. Soon they were in a room with two doors. One going back out, while the other leads them to a dance club. In front of them was a glass that looked down on the floor glowing patten. Dragons of all kinds dancing in naked bliss, with some doing explicit things.

Two dragons, one female, with her hands press against the wall, her tail raised as a male dragon rams his cock into her pussy at a fast-paced.

Another (male kirin, and female kirin) were on the table. The female was on her back, her legs, in the air while the male kirin was pressing his cock down her needy pussy. His cock coated with her juices.

A male sea serpent had a female sirine on his lap, with her ass bouncing up and down on the cock.

Yamato looked around the club with a raised brow. He had an idea about what’s going to happen, once they open the door, but isn’t going to risk him, or the mares getting caught up in this orgy.

“When that door opens cover your noses.” Yamato told them while placing his hand over his nose.

“Oh why it looks like it could be fun.” Pinkie smiled and tried to take her clothes off as well only for a violet color aura stopping her.

“Don’t. You need to keep your nose closed. . .There might be an airborne aphrodisiac isn’t it?”

Pinkie raises a brow at this.”What kind of aphrodisiac?” The party pony asked suspiciously. she wasn’t a stranger to the sex drug and knew the effects all too well. She along with her DJ friend Vinyl Scratch, along with her coltfriend now-husband Neon Lights went to parties that offer the drug in her younger years.

“ It's called draco libido. This aphrodisiac causes dragons to become horny enough that they would lose all sense of decency since the drug chemical makeup was designed to release there urge to mate with almost any sentient creature.”

“So it just works on dragons huh? I guess we have nothing to-”

“It’s very potent to non-dragon's.” Yamato interrupted Rarity. “As long none of us breathe it or swallow it.” He points his tail to the sprinkler system above the club. “You’ll be fine.”

“So what happens if we breathe it in?”

Drinking enough of the aphrodisiac, or exposed in it gas for too long, then the creature in question would loss their mind, become nothing but sex-crazed beasts. And as far as I’m aware of, nothing can ever return them back to normal.” Yamato answer, the news of being a sex craze beast made the pink mare take a deep breath and held it.

“Ok then, let um quickly look for who’s ever is in charge of this place and leave.” Twilight used her magic to form a violet bubble around Pinkie much to her relief, Rarity, and Yamato. He then opened the door to the club.

Meanwhile.

Applejack and Rainbow look at the feline in awe. In the span of five seconds, several dragons were laying on the floor. Some will bullet holes around on their foreheads with several shots hitting their heart or other vital organs. Others were slice in half or have deep gashes through their bodies. This would be the first time both mares saw gore up close and personal.

And the reaction was as expected.

The two puked on the side of the church. Starlight, however, was used to it. She and Trixie are apart of the undercover police, and she sees stuff like this.

It was a massacre. Now the feline was just sitting on the pew and checking his black gun he names ebony while twirling the tip of his large broadsword on the ground. His blue eyes watching as one of the priests trying to claws away.

“You know. . .now I think about it, that was a pretty clever plan you have there.” The feline begin as he point and pull the trigger of his gun. The bullet went flying at incredible speeds, hitting the wooden floor below, causing the dragon to stop. “Have one of your goons join Reptilia royal army, to get the information on the whereabouts of Lost Temple, then when the close was clear, you and your fellow members kill off the one protecting the shrine, am I right?”

The priest could only growl at the feline for figuring out their plan. All he can hope for now is that they don’t find out where Tiamat is. Rebellion pointed his sword at the priest. “Now tell me where Tiamat is. Or you die.”

“si geou nurti visp wux svaklar usjalil tiamat ui wux bivai inloil di shit. si charis wux valignat hefoc batobot kenzi di vi dask di douta.”( I will never tell you where lady Tiamat is you sorry piece of shit. I hope you burn like that whore of a mother of yours.) The priest spat out venom when he talked, then spit some of his blood up at the feline’s face.

“Well...say hi to The Other One for me.” Rebellion lifted up his sword, only for an electric blue to stop him.

“Please allow me.” Starlight walked over to the dragon and placed her hand on top of his head.

The dragon laughed at this. ”tir wux nadot ekess itrewic wer information de sia fothisev? bensvelk apzen wux pony riika.”(Do you plan to get the information from my head? Good luck you pony bitch.)

Starlight said nothing and activated a spell that allowed her to see only bits and pieces of his mind. While she couldn’t see everything that he remembered. She could see a few things. She saw the statue of Tiamat, the hooded figures, the five creature used for the sacrificial requirement, and the freedom of the fallen goddess, her Speaking, then but a bright green flame.

Starlight let go of his head and looked at the feline then shook her head. “I’m sorry. I couldn’t see where the cult went. All I saw was green flames but that was it. I don’t know where she and the others went.”

Rebellion just looked at the dragon, then shrugs. “Sorry pal, you’re no longer useful to us.” Rebellion used his free hand to grab one of his guns and blasted, the dragon priest’s head clean off his body. The feline let out a sigh. “Now that was fun. Just hope Yamato had better look then we did.”

Back at the club.

Yamato was reading a list of the members of the cult and the ranks, and assignments. The girls knew that Black Sword and Lightning Blade were the strongest sword ponies in Equus. So strong that Luna who was praised for her swordplay had a tough time keeping up with them. They were invincible as a par. But now came this feline who sword skills were beyond amazement. The first thing they saw a couple of dragons, wielding weapons such as swords, guns, and knives. The next thing they heard a click. Limbs were falling off their bodies.

All the dragons save for one were all dead. When asked he couldn’t provide any information about Tiamat. So Yamato without any taught killed the cult member.

The lights were on, Pinkie and Rarity were knockout on the couch, due to the gore and brutality they witnessed. Twilight was sitting on the second leather couch looking at the list as well. The booth was custom made, with a stripper pole, a massive queen size heart shape bed, and a minibar.

The list itself considered on members of Copper Scales and Wings of the Green Gargantua.

“As useful as this is, there’s nothing else here.” The feline sighed, getting up, and walked out of the booth with the princess of friendship following behind with her friends in her magic.

Back at the dragonlord castle

Twilight and the rest of her friends just returned to Dragonlord Ember’s chambers to bring her news. “Well, we know how they got in the lost temple. Apparently, they infiltrated your guard, reach a high enough rank like a captain or general to gain classified information.” Rebellion said placing his hands on his hips.

“We did find the list of cult members but they’ve been M.I.A for reasons.” Yamato said shrugging, then handed her the list.

“Damn it.” The blue dragoness hissed looking at the list of names, most of them were Ember’s royal guard. “Thank you for your assistants,”Ember said in a sighed at least this was a start. “I’ll have warrants for each member’s arrest.

“Hey there. Don’t worry Ember, you have me and my friends.” Twilight said reassuring the blue dragon worry.

Ember just smiles. “Thank you Twilight. But I fear that you and your friends won’t be enough. Tiamat is a monster. We need all leaders of the world to band together to even have a chance against Tiamat.” She was about to say something else but saw a purple light which caught Ember attentions. She looks to see Yamato opening a portal back to his home country.

“Sorry Dragon Lord but we must return and give Seer our report.” Yamato said entering the portal.

“You have Vuples Terra, and it’s army to back you up. Till then. Adiós.” Rebellion said doing a two-finger salute, then following his brother. The portal then closed once the felines enter.

“Thank you everypony for your help.” Ember said as she was glad for there assistants.

But before Twilight and her friends left Starlight looked back at Ember. “Don’t worry Dragonlord Ember. As long as we all stick together. Then there isn’t a force, on this planet that can stop us.”

As they continued to leave Ember whispered to herself. “For all of our sakes. I hope that you are right.”

A week later

Rarity woke up in a strange place. It was dark, warm and damp. Her clothes rip and tone, revealing the black bra and panties she wore. She tried moving only to find herself chained against the wall. Her eyes adjusted to the light around her which wasn’t much.

“W-W-Where am I?” She asked looking around.

“Oh you're in Master Shatter dungeons.” One of the dragons said leaning back on the iron bar twirling what looked to be a small green rod pole.

Rarity looked at her captive. The dragon had bronze color scales, he also wore an orange shirt, blue jeans, and sliver scale pinned on his shirt. Rarity eyes widen remember the slaughter she witnessed, with all of the dragons having a scale pinned on there clothing. She closed her eyes and tried to use her magic only to feel a sharp painful headache. The dragon snicker watching this.

He reached into his pocket to pull out a small pocket mirror and showed the hornless unicorn her image.

Seeing herself without her horn was too much for her.

It caused her to scream instantly. It wasn’t like Tempest who’s horn was still there granted it was broken, She was able to still use magic to some degree, but her. Without her horn. She can never make a dress again without the assistances of magic. She’ll never find the gems with her magic.

“Hey would you SHUT UP!” The dragon yelled.

“Y-Y-You monsters, you cut off my horn!” The mare yelled back only to feel a sharp object grazing her cheek. She turned her head to see a knife being embedded in the cobblestone behind her.

“Vent said shut up, so either shut the fuck up. Or I’ll come in there, and used that knife to cut out that tongue of yours!” Laruma said her eyes glaring at the mare. The goth dragoness was sitting on a wooden chair. She was tasked to watch the mare until her goddess was done with this whole lost son thing.

Rarity still wanted to yell at them. But she could tell that they were serious. So it took her all of her strength to stay quiet. And just wait for something else to happen. The white hornless unicorn just glared daggers at the dragons.

As Vent looked away from her. Rarity started to look around, and see if there is some way out of the cell that she was in. But as far as she could tell. There is no way out. Except for the door in front of her

“You really think that purple dragon is really Lady Tiamat’s long lost son?” Asked the bronze dragon.

“Who knows. He’s special if he’s able to see me when I’m invisible.” The black dragoness replied. Upon hearing Spike could be Tiamat son caught Rarity’s attention.

“T-T-There’s no way my Spikey could be that monster’s child. I refused to believe that!” The kobold growled wanting to enter the cell the mare was in and end her life.

Laruma smiled at Rarity. “Oh. But I do think it’s true. That cutie was able to see me while I’m invisible. And as I said before. And the only ones who are able to sense my presence beside Lady Tiamat are those ones who have a sixth sense. And if he is. Then I will gladly let him ravish me in front of you. Just to see the horror in your eyes.”

“You wouldn’t dare lay your fingers on a child.”

Laruma got off of her chair and walked up to the cell. Once she was right in front of the cell she looked Rarity right in her eyes” Oh he isn’t a child anymore, and from what I can tell. I said he’s about 18 making him an adult. And if he really is our goddesses son. Then he will be able to do whatever he desires. And I mean whatever he wants, with the proper training of course.” Laruma was about to add on until the dungeon door open. She turned her head to see Garble with a disappointed. “Ok, what’s the matter?” Asked the goth dragoness with her hands folded.

“Well. . .” Garble began. “Here’s the thing. That Squirt really is her son.”
