Reborn as a dragon

.{Next day}

Now was the time to protect my new family, I had some of my extra puppets watch them when I wasn't around.

Something could happen at any time it could be today, tomorrow, even weeks from now, but when it happens I'll be ready.

Today we just had more work today gathering apples and placing them in the barn, so today was just a normal day nothing really all that special until my father came running up to us with a worried look on his face.

"Hey you two have to come back inside I just received news that the weather ponies have to corral a very large storm, it'll be dangerous if we stay outside." He told us and I looked up to see a storm forming over the town.

"Ok I'll finish things here I'll be fine, I don't think lighting can do much to me." I said as I looked over at the barrels we had filled with apples.

"Ok, but finish it as soon as you can." Dad told me as he took Big Mac into the house.

I looked up again to see the storm growing in size at an extreme pace, I grabbed a barrel then flew towards the barn, but as I flew back it started raining heavily, then thunder could be heard above.

I continued grabbing barrels as rain started limiting my vision, but I knew the way. Then after placing all the barrels in the barn I landed on the porch of the house, and shook off all the water before stepping inside.

"Mom, Dad, Granny, I'm back." I said loudly then Granny Smith meet me at the door.

"Your mom and dad aren't home right now we didn't have any baby food stored up so they had to go buy more." She said then I looked outside to see thunder starting to strike.

"I should go with them I'm the only one that could survive those kinds of lighting bolts this is far to dangerous for them." I said as I ran out, and took to the air.

I had several close calls with a stray lighting bolt, but I managed just fine as I was now over Ponyville looking to see if I could find my parents.

"Come on where are they." I said as I searched the town from above, but I could hardly hear or see anything with this storm going on.

I flew lower in hopes of getting a better view while it did improve i could only make out the outlines of the buildings.

"This is getting me nowhere." I said and remembered they were getting baby food. "Of course they went to the store." I said as I rubbed my forehead then flew to where the store was, there were lights on inside making it easy to find.

I landed in front of it and stepped inside. I saw a pony wearing a uniform at the checkout.

"Hey have you seen my parents?" I asked as I walked towards him.

"Yeah, they left just a minute ago, they said they were going to stick to the alleys for cover from the storm." He told me then I thanked him and then ran out in search of them.

"Ok the fastest route to the farm using the alleys is this way." I said as I ran into an alley they were not in this one so they were further ahead.

I continued running into alleys that I thought they could be in, but found nothing until I was at the one closest to the orchard.

"BRIGHT MAC!" My mother screamed in the distance.

"Oh no." I said as I started running towards the direction of the voice and I finally found the alley way they were in.

My mother was backed into a wall with a knife to her throat, and tears in her eyes as she looked at her clocked assailant. My dad was on the ground with a stab wound on his shoulder, and as blood seeped from the wound I was filled with rage.

"All you had to do was give me all your valuables, now you have to die." The assailant said as he pressed the knife against her neck. I was so filled with rage that my body moved on its own as lighting gathered in my mouth.

Everything moved in slow motion as I finally let the stream of lightning fly through the air, my mom looked at me as she saw the light coming from my lightning and the assailant turned his head to see the attack.

Then everything suddenly sped up as the lighting struck him frying him alive as he screamed. He fell to the ground dead, then I ran up to mother to make sure she was alright.

"Are you ok?" I asked her as I pulled back.

"Yes, I'm fine but your father." She said as she looked at his father on the ground.

I placed my head on his chest and hoped he was still alive.

*BA-BUMP BA-BUMP* I sighed in relief as I found out he was alive, but their was little time to spare, so I told mother. "He's alive, but I have to get him to the hospital you should go home and tell the others." I said as I grabbed my father, as I took off.

I flew to the hospital as fast as I could not caring if lighting struck me as I flew high in the air.

I landed in front of the hospital, then rushed inside telling. "My father has been stabbed!"

Doctors and nurses rushed to my aid and put him on a hospital bed and took him away. "Will he be ok?" I asked a doctor that remained.

"The wound didn't look to bad plus the rain seemed to have kept it clean so that's a plus we'll do everything we can, we'll inform you and your family if anything happens." The doctor said as he walked away and the other's finally got here panting for breath and soaking wet.

"Where is he?!" Mom yelled as she looked around.

"He is in safe hooves from what the doctor told me, they have high hopes he'll survive all we can do is wait." I told her as she finally caught her breath.

As she was about to say something the ground started trembling then started shaking violently as the lights in the hospital flickered and the wall started cracking.

"Earthquake!" A pony yelled as everyone started getting under something to avoid some of the collapsing ceiling. I tackled my family and saved them from falling debris.

"Over here"" a pony yelled as we saw a very large table we all got under and waited for the earthquake to pass and soon it did as the ground stopped shaking and ponies started coming out of their hiding places.

"Is it over?" Applejack asked as she shook with fear I scooted over to her and put my wing over her.

"Yes, it's over, we're safe." I told her as we got out from under the table.

Much of the roof had collapsed, but the building still held strong as the rain started pouring in.

"I need to know if anypony is injured!" A doctor yelled as they ran into the room, it was the same doctor I talked to.

"Is my father safe?" I asked him as he looked at the destruction.

"Yes, thankfully he was in a part of the building that wasn't damaged by the time it started, he is in the emergency room right now so we should receive word on his condition soon.

I relaxed and said." Thank you, do you think we could stay here until we get news, I don't think it's safe outside until we know the extent of the damage to Ponyville?" I asked.

"Yes, let me take you to a more dry room." He said as he lead us to another room
