Reborn as a dragon

It was midnight, and I flew right above the wolf as she ran across the plains and through the night until she lead me to Canterlot. 'I should have known.' I thought as she ran up the mountain with ease.

After reaching the city she stopped to take a breath so I landed beside her to look around, the city hasn't changed much but I could tell that repairs were made. The wolf was panting as she whimpered, before laying down.

I petted her back while saying. "Good girl rest for a bit." I said then laying down beside her, but my mind couldn't rest, not while they had Applejack, so many things ran through my mind of what they could be doing to her but I couldn't find them without the midnight wolf.

That was when I began to think that they may have killed her and the thought alone filled me with grief as I laid my head down on the ground but was surprised when the wolf licked me again.

I chuckled for a moment before saying. "I'm glad you're here with me." I said before scratching her chin, and a smile made its way onto my face as I remembered my human childhood, I had a dog that was just like her, her name was Jinx, and she was a pitbull.

I took a deep breath to calm myself then looked at the night sky, then saw a shooting star right above me. 'Please be alright Applejack.' I thought, as it passed then closed my eyes before taking another deep breath of the cold night air.

After a few minutes she got back on her feet, so I did the same as we walked through the city as she sniffed the ground, before she stopped at a pair of wooden doors that led to what I think is a basement of a manor.

"Good girl you stay here I'll take care of the rest." I told her before flipping the doors opened to see stairs that led into darkness.

I heard her whimper so I looked to see her looking at me with pleading eyes. "No, I can't have you getting hurt because of me, stay here and wait for me ok." I told her before she laid on the ground but continued to whimper as I went down the stairs.

When I reached the bottom I saw this was only the first of many floors, then thought. ' This might be harder than I thought.'

I saw nothing on this level except barrels of cider and wine so I continued to the next one to see it was an armory. I went to the next to see it was filled with ponies drinking cider, but they all stopped when they saw me.

"Hey." I said nervously then they all charged me. "Oh buck." I said before an earth pony tried to headbutt me but it proved to be his undoing, as I did then same knocking him out.

Then the other ponies started to charge me all at once so I charged my body up with magic then discharged it sending a wave of destructive energy in every desertion but suddenly my body felt like it weighed a ton. The wave sending everypony flying but a few got back up from that attack, and even though my body was exhausted I still felt I had a lot more magic.

I breathed heavily as I looked around to a dozen ponies left standing but I didn't think I could fight them on my own. 'Damn, my body can't handle this.' I thought then just as one of the earth ponies was about to ram me suddenly the midnight wolf tackled him.

She snarled at the ponies that remained, and they become fearful as they backed up, as she showed her sharp teeth.

"Good timing." I said between breaths.

The unicorns in the group's suddenly teleported away leaving the earth ponies and Pegasuses in the room. "Ok this is how this is going to go down, run and don't come back or step up and have a little chat with my friend here." I said then they all ran away.

After regaining some strength in my legs, I went to the next floor to see it was a dungeon, and it was filled with mares some even famous ones that disappeared years ago.

"Hello, a anypony there?" A voice said then I rushed ones to see a mare very dark persian blue mane with dark grayish persian blue highlights Pale gold and light gamboge highlights and Lime greenish white fur.

"Wait aren't you Songbird Serenade?" I asked before blasting the cell open with lighting.

"Yes, and who are you?" She asked, and I remembered her dissapereing 3 years ago.

"Im Spyro did you see a Unicorn bring in a friend of mine she has three apples as a cutie mark?" I asked.

"Yes, not long ago, he took her further down." She told me then I looked around the outside of the cell to see keys so I picked them up then threw them at her.

"Can you get the others out of here, I need to find my friend." I told her before running off further into the dungeon until I found who I was looking for.

Applejack was chained to the wall, and several bruises were scattered over her body as well as a black eye.

I blasted open the cell then the chains freeing her. "Applejack, Applejack wake up." I said shaking her, until her right eye opened.

"Spyro." She said weakly before standing up.

"Yes, it's me but we have to get out of here." I told her but she looked panicked before saying.

"What about the." She said before I cut her off.

"Already taken care of," I told her then we began running towards the exit as we ran between empty cells.

Finally we got outside to see more ponies waiting for us, as well as Gold Rush, thankfully it looked like everpony else got away.

"Spyro, Spyro, Spyro so we finally meet." He said while shaking his head with a grin. "I've been looking forward to this."

"Do I know you?" I asked him.

"No, but my employer knows you, but you don't know him." He said before looking at his goons before gesturing with his head for them to attack.

Applejack wasn't in any condition to fight, then my wolf stepped in front of her. I took in a deep breath before letting out a stream of flames then moved my head from side to side covering everything in fire.

The flames alone made all of his goons run off in fear leaving only Gold Rush, but he didn't look worried at all.

He popped his neck before looked over at us then charged up magic in his horn.

After a few moments he shot a powerful bolt of magic at me, I put my wings in front of me, then as it hit me I was sent flying backwards into a wall. "At least they softened you up a bit, I guess they weren't a total waste of money." He said to himself, as he charged up another.

Midnight lunged at him only to be blasted away, and she whimpered she hit the ground, and my eyes slowly closed as his figure began to blur, and my body felt so heavy as I passed out.
