“Hey Jet, I heard that you don’t know how to fly and breathe fire, so I brought a friend to help teach you how to fly and breath fire” Spike said as he and Smolder walked up to Jet.

“Thanks Spike, but who’s this?” Jet asked.

“I’m Smolder, the dragon who taught Spike how to fly and I’m also a student at Headmare Twilight’s School of Friendship” Smolder replied.

“Nice to meet ya, so what are you going to teach me first?” Jet asked.

“How to breathe fire” Spike and Smolder said in unison.

“Uh okay, so how do I do that?” Jet asked.

“Well first you need to take in a lot of oxygen, so inhale as deep as you can” Spike explained as Jet in hailed deeply, causing his chest to expand.

“Alright now, imagine sparks in your throat as you’re breathing out, like this” Smolder added as she breathed in and then breathed out fire.

“Now you try,” Spike said as Jet shot out blue flames from his mouth, but he’d inadvertently singeing some foliage around the trio.

“Uh...oops, sorry” Jet replied after letting out the last of the flames.

“Heh don’t worry about it, all dragons have done something like that at least once, but it’s usually when they’re little” Smolder said.

“Oh okay...” Jet replied.

“Don’t worry I told Smolder about your situation” Spike said.

“Yea, though it does seam a little weird but I believe you” Smolder replied.

“Okay, so how do I fly?” Jet asked.

“Well then, extend out your wings and start flapping them while also bending them at the same time, like this” Spike replied as he demonstrated how to fly.

“All right, now you try” Smolder said.

“Okay, I’ll try” Jet replied as he tried to fly.

With some effort Jet began to lift off the ground but accidentally put a bit too much force into it and shot into the sky.

“Okay I think I put to much force into it” Jet called as he hovered above the skyline of Ponyville.

“Yea think? Try flying back down,” Smolder suggested.

“Alright” Jet replied as he flew back down to the pair.

“I hope Twilight and Starlight teaching Danny is going well” Spike thought.

Meanwhile Twilight and Starlight were trying to teach jet how to levitate objects which wasn’t going nearly as well as planned.

“How does this even happen?” Danny asked as magic was pouring out of his horn, teacups to appear and disappear.

“I...have no clue...” Twilight replied as all but the original teacup disappeared.

“Huh?”- Danny said as the teacup began shaking violently -“Uh-oh...”

“What’s happening?” Twilight asked as Starlight made a magic bubble around the trio.

“Hold on tight everypony!” Starlight shouted.

The teacup exploded into billions of teacups which quickly filled up the castle and started flowing out of the massive structure causing what only could be described as a teacup-fall. The flood of the beverage holder stopped soon after with a considerable amount of land overrun with teacups. Meanwhile Spike, Smolder, Jet; were chatting when they heard a bang and saw the teacup flood come from Twilight’s castle.

“What the...hell...wait Danny’s there!” Jet said as he took off to the castle.

“Let’s go, Twilight and Starlight are in there!” Spike said and flew after Jet.

“I guess I have to go too” Smolder replied as she flew after the two dragons.

Jet was the first one to arrive on see as Danny, Twilight and Starlight’s heads popped out of the teacups.

“Yo are you three okay, what happened” Jet asked.

Twilight looked at Jet and explained what had happened with a giggle.

“Yea, sorry about that” Danny apologized.

“Ah don’t worry about it, all this could be take away with magic” Twilight said as she waved her hoof in a circle.

“Yea, and trust me you got some pretty strong magic” Starlight added as Twilight poofed all the teacups away.

“What happened, is everypony okay?” Spike asked.

“Yea, just a magic accident” Jet replied.

Meanwhile Clover was walking through Everfree Forest while drinking when he heard a growl.

“Huh who’s there?” Clover asked.

Clover looked around as a lion the size of a house approached him from behind. The lion let out a blood curdling growl as it leaped at Clover in an attempt to kill him, however Clover teleported out of the way and saw that this lion was no ordinary lion.

“Oh a Nemean Lion...I have a job for you...” Clover said as he snapped his fingers causing a small ball of red light to fly from the fingers into the head of the lion.

The Nemean Lion shook it’s head, stopped once it started to see red and growled intensively before Clover teleported away. Meanwhile Twilight and friends were discussing how the training was going when Spike spotted a familiar unicorn heading towards the group.

“Hey isn’t that...Tempest?” Spike asked Twilight.

“I think it is, hey Tempest!” Twilight shouted as she waved her hoof.

“Heya Twilight, how’s it going?” Tempest asked as she grew closer to the group.

“Pretty good, though there was an accident” Twilight replied with a chuckle.

“Cool, so who are these two?” Tempest asked.

“Oh this is Jet and his brother Danny, I’ll tell you about the relation later” Twilight replied.

“Sup, Hi” Jet and Danny said.

“Heya” Tempest replied.

“So what brings you to Ponyville?” Twilight asked.

“Just wanted to meet up with my friends” Tempest replied.

“Cool, well wanna get some Hay-burgers?” Twilight offered.

“Eh why not I’ll just order some gems” Smolder replied.

“Gems?” Jet asked.

“Oh yea, dragons can eat gems” Spike replied.

“Okay?...” Jet said.

“Well I’m down for a couple of Hay-burgers” Tempest said as she stretched.

“Then lets go” Starlight suggested.

As the group made their way to Hay-burger the group heard a massive roar come from Everfree Forest.

“Uh guys...what the hell was that?” Danny asked.

“I have n-” Twilight started to say as another roar emerged from the forest along with the sound of trees snapping.

“Whatever it is it’s coming closer” Starlight replied.

After a bit a large shadow leaped out of the forest and landed in the town square of Ponyville.

“That’s one big lion” Danny said as the Lion let out a ferocious roar.

Anycreature that saw the lion was near blinded as the light reflected off of it’s golden fur while it had a jet black mane, claws that could rip through steel and eyes that seemed to be full of rage.

“That’s not just any Lion...it’s a Nemean Lion” Twilight replied as the Lion set it’s target on the group.

“Anyone got an Idea on how to defeat it?” Jet asked as the Lion charged at the group.

“I’ve got one” Starlight replied as she shot a magic bolt at the beast only to realize that it had no affect.

“Oh shit!” Danny said as most of the group got out of the way except for him.

Before Danny knew it he was in the mouth of the beast, being shaken like some sort of chew-toy and finally being thrown into a build after the Nemean Lion was done with him. The Lion let out a snarl before charging at the rest of the group.

“H-how dare you asshole!” Jet shouted in rage at the Lion.

Jet then flew high into the air, inhaled tones of oxygen and let fire rain from the sky. This however did nothing to the Lion except made it angrier then before. Jet only saw red as he flew to the beast, claws and teeth bared in an attempt to kill the creature.

Meanwhile Danny had somehow survived being thrashed and thrown into a building but was loosing a lot of blood. He saw his brother trying to kill the beast and managed to limp out of the building, albeit with a broken leg and some wood piercing him.

“Jet!” Danny called, causing Jet to stop mid flight.

“D-Dan-” Jet started to ask as he was thrown down to his brother by the beast.

“Hey are you all right bro?” Danny asked as the rest tried to fend off the beast.

“I should ask you the same thing, but how the hell did you survive?” Jet asked.

“To be honest I have no clue, but what I do know is that we need to take this overgrown feline down” Danny replied as he held out a hoof to help Jet up.

“Damn right!” Jet added as he grabbed the hoof causing the two brother’s cutie-marks to glow before the two eventually were engulfed in the light.

“Graww!” The Lion bellowed as it went to swipe at Tempest but was knocked away by a bright azure light.

“Whoa what the?” The other’s said in unison as the light hovered in front of Tempest.
