The birthday gift

In a cave on the outskirts of Ponyville, lived an enormous dragon with darkish purple scales and an emerald underbelly. Underneath him laid a mountain filled with different types of gems and enough bits to make the wealthiest pony look poor in comparison. As he stretched his body only to lay back down, as the treasure was forced to rearrange itself to account for his new sleeping posture.

The dragon seemed completely satisfied in his dark cave but he wasn't the only creature living there as a streak of fiery red and orange. Grabbed what seemed to be tailored curtains and pulled them apart from multiple windows letting the sunlight inside. The newfound light instantly found a way to the gems as it struck as many as it could reflecting their light all over the cave emitting a magnificent ray of lights. As the dragon tried to close his eyes tighter to block it out the firebird landed on top of his roommate's nose and waved his feathers making his friend sneeze.

*Aahhh* *Aaaahhh* *ACCHHoOo*

The spontaneous sneezing made the dragon's eyes open only to be blinded by the still-powerful rays of lights. Stumbling upward hitting the ceiling as he tried to move forward from the pain hitting the walls. As he made his way outside only to trip on a rope and fall onto his face where a giant bucket of cold water doused him. "Well, that's one way to wake me up."The dragon grumbled as the firebird landed back onto his friend's soaking snout handing him a towel, with a very smug grin on his face. "At least one of us is having a pleasant morning Peewee ole' pal." The dragon grabbed the towel with his claws to dry off his face. Only to be interrupted by a burst of vibrant laughter coming from in front of him.

"Spike a friend you are, but to try and sleep past our morning star, is cause for true alarm!!" Looking up Spike saw a mare with a gray coat and black stripes approach him wearing a long brown cloak. As she took off her cloak Spike took full notice of her appearance, her mane was stylized in that of a mohawk with gray and white stripes that matched her coat perfectly. Wearing a cloth brassiere and loincloth covering her important parts but still giving a good view of her C-up breasts, as she wore her signature five golden neck rings and two golden hooped earrings.

"Zecora what a pleasant surprise!" *gulp* Spike said nervously trying not to stare too much at her as he started to blush from seeing her chest dripped in sweat as it made it's way to her toned stomach."What's up?" Spike smiled trying to play off his blushing face.

Zecora smiled and said, "A joyous occasion comes once a year, so my dear friend let's hop into gear!!!" As she threw a small present at her massive friend.

"Zecora you know I haven't celebrated my birthday in like what three years. Where if you forgot I grew 50ft in height." Spike replied looking down grumbling in sadness as the present fell near Peewee. "And the present seems a biiittt small doncha think?"

Peewee used his beak to tear into the wrapping paper. "Looks may be deceiving, but the gift I made is most appealing," Zecora responded as Peewee opened the box and brought out a black-colored gem in the shape of a heart with a golden necklace holding it in place placing it on top of Spike's snout.

As Spike looked at the gem he seemed unimpressed "Zecora I don't mean to be rude but I'm pretty sure I have enough gems, and jewelry just ain't my stick." As Spike rolled his eyes the gem began to glow like a bright flash enveloped Spike. "Zecora!! Zecora!!! What's happening what's going on!?" Spike closed his eyes until a hand was placed on top of his head.

"It seems the artifact I've crafted, works best when a dragon is active." Zecora smiled petting her now, much smaller friend.

"Zecora what did you do to me!?" As Spike opened his eyes and stood up he seemed to be still taller than Zecora who stood about 5'6 but now all he had to do was simply tilt his head down slightly to meet her eyes. Instead of having to lay down on the ground to even see where she was let alone hear her speak. And even his body seemed to be lighter than before finding it easier to move around. But still powerful enough to wipe out any of the boulders that were around his barren rock-filled home.

"My creation has quite the gimmick, to even conceal a dragon's true power limit," Zecora said giggling as she grabbed the necklace and locked it around Spike's neck. "And now with this magic ruby, celebrating your birthday shall be very easy."

Spike looked down at the now brightly colored ruby around his neck seeing himself in the reflection looking the same as he did three years ago. As tears of happiness started to flow as he wrapped his arms around Zecora. "Zecora...thank you... this is the best birthday gift ever!" Spike said hugging Zecora as she returned the hug with a smile on her face.

"But if you think this present is all you deserve, then you may not be ready for what is about to occur. Zecora grabbed her cloak and threw it at Spike to wear. "You might need this to conceal because all I see is a dragon's red eel," Zecora smirked with a slight blush as she pointed down to Spike's morning wood. Turning beet red Spike quickly took the cloak and wrapped it around his waist making sure it was completely covered. Zecora took Spike's hand as they walked back to Ponyville. "The first stop we make might be a bit on the nose but we need to get you some new clothes."

In Canterlot

Canterlot's Castle was a glorious symbol of royalty and power it was the beacon of harmony for Equestria. Especially since the two royal sisters were reunited once again. Entering the throne room stood the two glorious, magnificent, and beautiful Princesses each bearing amazonian figures. Having a longer spiral horn on top of their heads compared to other unicorns and larger feathery wings on their back when next to another pegasus folded behind them while sitting in their seats. Their thrones were literally like night and day on the right a model of the sun was placed on top of the throne. As the frames were gilded shining like pure gold with regal designs etched into it. The mare sitting on the sun throne wore a royal light blue dress tied in the back as her F-cup breasts were spilling from the top. With a yellow sash around her waist as it made it cling to her body giving a clear look as to where her curves were. Her coat was the color of cream as her mane flowed through the air resembling a nighttime aurora. While on the left a more mystic design took place as a model of the moon was placed at the top of the throne. Where the frames were painted with a dark blue and constellations surrounding it. The mare that was sitting there was wearing a dark blue dress similar to her sister in fashion. But not being as big-breasted as her sister but her thighs made up for it as she proved the old saying to be true.Thick thighs save lives .Her coat was a dark blue with a mane flowing like the night sky and entrancing like the stars. The Princesses left many stallions and just as many mares begging to have an audience with them so that they could gaze upon their rulers.

The two alicorn sisters were going over royal documents and scheduling for the next Summer Sun Celebration. As papers and files kept on stacking up. As the two denied, revised, and relied on the other princess to get this done as fast as possible.

"Celestia honestly Las Pegasus you know what happened the last time you were there you had a hangover so bad that you missed your celebration. The younger Princess said as she placed that file on the stop asking pile as sixteen other requests to go was also there.

" Well Luna I'm not attending Yakyakistan my ears still hear the ringing every time I think about our last celebration there." Celestia rubbed her eyes as she tried to erase the memory of constant yelling as she threw the paper in the never again pile.

"Oh please, you're overreacting dear sister." Luna smiled remembering how annoyed her sister was when she started speaking the same way for the first few months she returned from her imprisonment from the moon. *giggling*

Celestia looked at her and scowled as Luna continued snickering through her teeth. "Let's just get back on track for finding a location is that alright with you Lulu," Celestia said smirking mischievously at her sister as her face turned a bright red at hearing her old baby nickname.

"I told you never to call me that again!" Luna said jumping up in a fit making the files spill onto the floor as she was blushing as her sister couldn't help but tease her more.

"Aww but Lulu is such an adorable name perfect for my baby sister isn't it yes it is," Celestia said pinching her sister's cheek as a mother would do to their foal.

As Celestia kept pinching her cheek Luna began blushing as bright as a tomato"Will you stop that!!"Luna screamed slapping her sister's hand away from her as she rubbed her cheek.

"Ohhh seems like someone doesn't respect the older mare in the room come here you," Celestia said tackling her sister to the floor as she started tickling her as all the stacks of paper fall in a disheveled mess.

"Cease your *hahaha* confounded tickling dear sister we* Hahahaha* have....have work to do." Luna tried speaking through her roaring laughter as she tried wiggling free from her sister's grasps. As she turned her head what she saw made her face turn pure white while Celstisa was still ticking Luna she turned her head to see what her sister was looking at. As she did standing before them was one of the Canterlot guards standing there trying to avert his eyes from the scene before him. Getting up as fast as they could the Princesses used their magic to gather all the papers that fell on the ground. Brushing off any dirt that may have gotten on their dresses and fixing their mane as they returned to their respected thrones.

*Ahem* "What matter is at hand?" Celestia said as she tried to return to her role as a Princess still trying to catch her breath.

The guard turned his attention back to the princesses and knelt to one knee as he bowed his head in honor. "Princess Celestia and Princess Luna I have been sent to relay a message that three hooded figures have asked for an audience." He said waiting for the Princesses reply

"They dare not show their faces and demand an audience with us blasphemy!!!" Luna shouted sending gusts of wind sweeping through the room as she slammed her foot down.

"Quite right your majesty but they didn't just ask for you two they also asked for the..." The guard was making sure no one was able to hear this but them. "The Elements" he said whispering ready to see what the Princesses wanted from him next.

Both of the Princesses stood up standing at 6'0 and started walking down from their thrones as the guard tried to follow them but got a death glare from both of the princesses making him freeze in place. As they walked through the palace as their guards stood at attention making sure the palace was secure and protected as it could be. Walking through multiple doors and royal guards they reached the room where their guests were being held.

Just as their guard said there were only three of them and their faces were covered in darkness formed by magic. The tallest one knelt on his knee and bowed. As the one followed suit while the other two seemed reluctant to follow as the one on the ground turned his head to look at them. As they dropped to their knees bowing in forgiveness both of the princesses could feel a slight hint of magic but not enough to question it.

Luna was getting impatient as she glared at the hooded trio "Why have you come to seek the Elements?" Glaring harder as she tried to figure out their motive as the tallest one placed a bag of bits onto the floor and a scroll. Luna picked the scroll and the bag of bits with her magic as she tossed it back to her sister. Celestia took control of the levitation spell and unfolded the scroll and read it out loud while the bag of bits fell straight into her hand.

Princesses Celestia and Princess Luna
We apologize deeply for not showing our faces the reason for that is because of the reason we came here today. To request the help of the Elements of Harmony are hometown has been ransacked by a ferocious dragon. Killing most of our people and stealing our bits and gems leaving our town destroyed with mares, stallions, and even foals corpses filled our streets leaving only a couple of us that survived but the worst part was he stole our town's most precious symbol a phoenix. Without it, our people have not been motivated to rebuild our town back to where it was before. The rest of the survivors are resting at one of the Inn's here in Canterlot. We brought what little bits we could hoping that the Elements of Harmony could bring us peace of mind by killing that wretched dragon. We have heard rumors that the dragon lives on the outskirts of Ponyville in a barren wasteland also if our dear phoenix is still alive please return him in his sacred cage.

As the middle tallest figure reached into his cloak and pulled out a golden ruby-encrusted cage looking at it seemed extremely powerful that it could withstand anything. Celestia looked up from the scroll filled with rage about hearing the atrocities of this monster wanting to kill the beast herself but knowing her duties would never allow it. She turned her head to Luna who was clenching her fist and trying to hold back her tears from the display she showed them.

"You are in good hands the Elements will take it from here," Celestia reported as she rerolled the scroll as placed it on a nearby nightstand.

"Thank you Princesses," All three of them said as they got up and made their leave having a few guards escort them out.

As soon as they left Celestia slammed her fist against the pillar leaving cracks around it as Luna and took a deep breath. Letting herself think about what needed to be done as she looked at her sister who suddenly disappeared as she sighed. Speedrunning to follow her sister as she made sure to keep up appearances as she exited through the backside of the castle where she saw Celestia walking.

"Let's see how our favorite mercenaries are doing shall we," Celestia said throwing the bag of bits up and down as she faced the waterfall. As she started to focus on her horn as an aura of golden light began to cover her body as she walked through the waterfall disappearing completely. Luna followed suit lighting up her horn and covering her body with an aura of cobalt blue.

As the two Princesses step through on the other side was a field full of different types of flowers and apple trees as far as the eye could see. And smack down in the middle was a crystal tower resembling a tree as the two walked towards the door they were interrupted by an explosion. As the two rushed inside opening the door they saw what seemed to be cake batter all on the walls.

"Ay told you you shouldn't let Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie cook together." A tall orange mare standing at 5'7 wearing a stetson hat atop her blonde mane in a ponytail, tore up jeans with dirt and now cake batter on them, a green plaid vest tied up, and a white T-shirt underneath with an apple on it, barely able to hold her DD breasts. She took off her hat and brushed off any cake batter that may have gotten on it.

"Seriously you two it took a whole week to clean the kitchen last time you two cooked now it's in the main room what do you think will happen if the princesses see us like this. We are supposed to be their professional mercenaries and if we can't even keep our base of operations clean what then." The lecturing voice came from a lavender mare unicorn, her mane was dark purple with a hot pink streak in the middle. At 5'4 she wore a black shirt that filled out her slim body very nicely, covering her C-cup breasts with a dark purple plaid skirt to match. As she was glaring down at two other mares sitting on their knees.

The one with a bored expression had a unique mane with all the colors of a rainbow going down to her waist. Wearing a famous limited edition wonderbolts bomber jacket with all of the members' names stitched on it. A light blue T-shirt, and black pants, and a golden thunderstorm necklace looking to average out to 5'3.

The other mare sitting down if you could call bouncing up and down along with your D-cup breasts sitting about the same height as her other troublemaker friend."Come on Twilight it's was a fun experiment to see if putting a whole bag of yeast and setting the oven to max would make a giant fluffy cake." The pink mare wore blue overall shorts with a yellow frilly undershirt with jellybean kneesocks. "Besides I'm sure Princess Celestia would love to try our cake." Pinkie Pie said with a big smile on her face only for Twilight to start pinching her cheeks.

"Princess Celestia would never eat cake that has been on the walls and exploded an oven!!" Twilight pinched harder as Pinkie pointed behind her making Twilight look behind to see her mentor, Princess of the Sun, the one she looks up in all of Equestria eat a chunk of cake that had hit the backside of the front door. With not a plate or silverware as her sister, Princess of the Moon simply looked at her older sister with disappointment as she looked in her direction and gave a slightly embarrassed wave.

Let's get ready to kill a dragon

Twilight had three different expressions on her face when she saw the Princesses in their base looking at the mess her teammates have made. Shocked as to why their security cameras didn't alert them of their arrival, Confused as to why Celestia was licking their wall cake and, a full-blown look of anxiety as she turned around and knelt in front of them. Lighting up her horn and teleporting her other two teammates into the main room as she enveloped all of them in her purple magic aura forcing them to do the same as her.

"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna, how can we be of service to you?" Twilight asked waiting on their reply, as Luna wrestled her sister away from the cake batter pulling her in front of the six girls in front of them.

*Ahem*

"The Elements have been requested once again to deal with a life-threatening assignment we will discuss the details in the throne room. Celestia announced regaining her composure as she and Luna made their way to the throne room.

Twilight released her magic over the rest of the girls as they all stood up and glared at her. "Hahaha Well I think we should go see what this life-threatening assignment is." Twilight looked at her teammates nervously as she started to sweat as a hand was placed onto her shoulder.

"Twilight!!" A white mare unicorn with a grandiose curly purple mane and tail screamed as she looked at her leader peeved off. She stood at 5'6 wearing a sexy black slitted dress that showed off her ample curvy ass with a three diamond necklace between her D-cup breasts. "This attire took....me eight hours to make...and now it's covered in bucking cake batter!!!" Her nose flared up as her face got redder steaming with anger. "So Twilight darling I'm going to be here reworking this entire outfit cause if I miss out on Fleur de Lis fashion." Gripping down on her shoulders as hard as she could smiling on the outside but still boiling on the inside."Your books and grimoires will be paying the price, Capiche?"

"Capiche Rarity." Twilight whimpered in pain as Rarity finally let go of her shoulder as she walked back to her room.

*Boom*

Rarity slammed the door so hard it echoed through the whole castle "Okay I guess Rarity won't be wanting to go on the assignment given to us by our...you know bosses that sorta rule all of Equestria Hahaha." Twilight laughed nervously as her mane started to frizzle out finding it harder to breathe as she made her way to the throne room along with everpony else. As the other girls were leaving for the throne room there was only one pony left behind. A yellow pegasus mare with a silky long pink mane standing at 5'4 wearing a full set of butterfly pattern pajamas as her buttons were barely holding back her F-sized breasts.

"Fluttershy let's go!" Rainbow Dash bellowed for her pegasus friend to get a move on.

"Oh no you all go on ahead I was just thinking of cleaning this up before we have to leave on a dangerous life-threatening assignment," Fluttershy said distracting herself by grabbing a mop and broom as she went to work cleaning up.

*Sigh* "Every time."Rainbow grumbled knowing that to get Fluttershy to go on a dangerous assignment is the same as trying to get Twilight away from a book. "Have fun then we'll be back." Waving her hand as she left the room to follow the others catching up to the three of them.

"So how's Twi?" Rainbow whispered to AppleJack

"Okay so with Rarity out of the picture I guess that just leaves just us five!" Twilight turned around as her eye started twitching "Where's Fluttershy?"

"Weeeeeellll...she's being Fluttershy." Rainbow dash admitted shrugging her shoulders making Twilight's start to smile and chuckle to herself as she started mumbling to herself.

"Okay, any other pony who doesn't want to go on this dangerous assignment because we still don't know what's so dangerous about it!!! Or maybe you have plans that you don't want to miss out on I mean it's not like we're getting paid by all of Equestria to do our job or anything!!!" Twilight complained as her eyes started twitching faster the rest of them all simply shook their heads not wanting to further upset her. She walked into the throne room where the Princesses were sitting as she sat down blowing her mane away from her face. While the rest of them followed making sure to give her plenty of space all of them were sitting in silence watching the Princesses hoping they would break the awkwardness.

"Someone has requested the Elements once again and here's your payment for the job." Princess Celestia revealed calmly as she slid the bag of bits towards Twilight along with the scroll. Twilight began to read the scroll calming down as her eyes stopped twitching and her mane soothed as she looked back up seeming like an entirely new mare.

*Sigh*

Twilight rolled the scroll to the other girls as she faced the two amazonian mares in front of her."Princess Celestia and Princess Luna as the Elements of Harmony when you first brought us together it was to stop Princess Luna from spreading an Eternal Night. Since then we have stopped countless monster attacks, ponies who didn't believe that Princess Luna should be able to rule again, along with protecting the Grand Galloping Gala for three years." Twilight reported dead serious as she turned her face at the other three mares as the look of boiling anger was present on their faces. "And you're telling us to kill a dragon that not only kills ponies like it's squashing a bug but to steal back a phoenix that may or may not be dead. And it lives right by Ponyville the same place where you made me go to find the rest of this team?" Twilight said with a confused mocking look on her face.

"Yes, that's correct," Celestia said looking into the young mare's eyes and giving a smile.

"You should have come by sooner, my team will be ready in an hour were going to need to use the royal underground tunnels AppleJack and Rainbow Dash you two take care of Rarity Pinkie Pie convince Fluttershy," Twilight commanded as her teammates walked off.

Ponyville

As Spike and Zecora got to Ponyville they immediately caught other ponies eyes with Spike's borderline indecent clothing along with Zecora who is rarely seen without her cloak on. As young mares covered their foal's eyes or tried not to make any eye contact as whispering could be heard all around them.

"Is that a dragon?"

" What a couple of perverts."

"Mommy isn't that what grandpa has to wear."

Curious glances were coming from every direction as Spike's face became redder as he could barely look up from the ground. As Peewee landed on his shoulder with an old dusty brown patched satchel as Spike looked at it with astonishment. "Peewee is that my old bag I thought I threw that away where did you even find it!?" Spike took it from Peewee's mouth as he felt some weight from it looking inside it was filled to the brim with bits.

"It seems little Peewee is quite prepared, compared to his partner who is getting utmost started." Zecora chuckled as they finally got to the clothing store which bared a resemblance to that of a carousel but not without a crowd of ponies trying desperately to spy on what the two were doing. As they walked inside as the bell to the shop alerted the fashion designer of their presence. "Welcome to the Carousel boutique where every...." The mare stopped in front of the two as she went mute from seeing a dragon that alone would be enough but seeing him barely dressed made her whole body freeze up.

"Ummm....hey sorry about this but do you think you could help me get some clothes?" Spike said trying to laugh the awkward tension off. As he looked at the mare before him seeing her coat was light vanilla and her mane was light cyan with lighter blue highlights along with a flower hair clip as she wore a yellow sleeveless cardigan with a purple skirt and a red ascot. "Umm... madame?" Spike looked down to see a name tag. "Aaahh Coco Pommel!!" As Spike smiled his razor-like teeth showed making the mare grab Spike by the arm and throwing him across the room. Spike went flying as he hit a couple of mannequins on the way as Coco tried to regain her breathing as Zecora and Peewee burst out laughing at their friend's misfortune.

"To send a dragon flying is amusement in of itself, but what my friend was hoping was for some clothes for himself?" Zecora told her from a safe distance as Coco turned beet red from throwing a potential customer across the room.

"Oh no, I'm so sorry for what I just did to you!" Coco said in a flustered panic as she walked over to help Spike up from the mannequins only to be met with two bright red draconic dicks as her whole face turned as white as a ghost.

*AAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!*

Canterlot

"Rarity would ya please stop being a damn brat and get your flank out here!" AppleJack screamed pounding her hand against the door as her blood was continuing to boil. She now wore a long-sleeved brown shirt with a matching vest and chaps with a bullwhip on her hip and her hat. Rarity had locked herself in her room for a solid 30 minutes barricading it with magic.

"Excuse me darling I'm pretty sure I told Twilight I have a prior engagement that I refuse to miss" As Rarity was fixing her hair and trying on different outfits that could at least pass for upper-class.

"There is a bucking dragon in Ponyville you stupid cunt!!" AJ retorted getting more and more upset at her teammate selfish complaining.

"Ah... Ah...Ah, AppleJack we both know that if a dragon was in Ponyville AppleBloom and SweetieBelle would be sending us letters about what it was doing." Rarity corrected knowing her's and AppleJack's sister were known to get into crazy situations that would terrify even the oldest of ponies. As she opened the door with her horn only to get a paper shoved in her face reading it she turned around and closed the door on them.

"Rarity get out here!" AppleJack demanded as Rainbow Dash came flying back landing right by AppleJack she now wore steel armor which covered her B-cup breasts completely and on her back was a broadsword.

"So how's Rarity coming along?" Rainbow Dash asked and just on cue Rarity came out wearing a black leather jacket with the collar popped up with black jeans and on her hip, she wielded a glistening blue rapier.

"Well, are we going to kill this dragon or not?" Rarity said pulling her rapier out and spinning it around before sheathing it again as she flaunted her mane as she walked downstairs.

"I bet Pinkie Pie doesn't have to deal with this shit." AppleJack facepalmed as she stomped off grumbling all the way.

"You'd be surprised." Rainbow Dash mumbled as she followed the two downstairs and saw that not a single glop of cake batter could be seen. As they saw a yellow streak and bouncy pink streak going back and forth across the room.

"Come on Fluttershy think about how exciting it'll be to kill a dragon!!" Pinkie Pie exclaimed bouncing up and down on a pogo stick trying to convince Fluttershy who was flying all over the castle.

"I'm good you girls have fun," Fluttershy reported with her hands up as she tried to get away but Pinkie Pie was already behind her.

"But what about going back to Ponyville I know how much you miss your old cottage with all your animals!?" With a huge cheesy smile on her face as she asked with excitement getting more and more excited. "Oh, what about all the delicious food that you can only get in Ponyville!"

"Oh, should I order something from wingmates?" As she whistled for a cloud to write down her order but before she could do that she was enveloped in Rarity's magic. Forcefully having her clothes taken off as her mercenary clothes were put on her she now wore a green dress that was entirely made of leaves. That blended in the wild so well that sometimes even her teammates never knew exactly where she was until she shot an arrow from her natural wooden bow.

"Come now Fluttershy we'll have none of that nonsense of not wanting to go." Rarity scoffed at Fluttershy's childish behavior only to be put back in her place.

"Now hold it right there Rarity I've been banging on your damn door for the past thirty minutes." AppleJack still pissed off from having to deal with Rarity's uppity bullshit.

"Why must you always live in the past AJ darling I'm here now aren't I?" Rarity retorted in a grin only to make AppleJack even more pissed.

"Why I oughta." AppleJack was this close to backslapping Rarity across her face only to be stopped by Twilight walking in and glaring up at her sending chills down her spine.

Looking at Rarity to release Fluttershy as Rarity did so as commanded she looked Fluttershy in her eyes"Fluttershy try to think about it like this a dragon is keeping a poor defenseless rare phoenix in captivity and if we don't kill this beast many other mystic creatures will be in just as much danger." As Twilight handed Fluttershy her bow as she grabbed it and stood up having newfound confidence in her eyes. "Now then girls let's kill us a dragon." As the six girls walked out of their base of operations.

Back In Ponyville

Spike was holding a bag of ice on his eye as Coco was apologizing, again and again, taking the ice off showed he had a hoofprint covering it. "I'm so very sorry please please don't sue if my boss hears about this she'll fire me," Coco said almost on the verge of tears as Zecora made her way into the conversation.

" Spike how could you make a lovely mare cry, for that you deserve two black eyes!" Zecora joke lifting her leg to mimic how Coco stomped her hoof on him.

As Spike gave a death glare at her and turned around to see Coco still bowing her head as sighed not wanting to get to make a big deal out of this. "Look it was my fault, to begin with coming here with barely any clothes on so let's just let bygones be bygones ok." Spike held out his hand as Coco looked up and agreed by shaking his hand. "Good now that that's cleared up do you think you could let me try on some clothes I kinda need them if I'm going to walk outside in public?"

"Of course right this way!" Coco beamed as she took Spike over to the measuring center as she brought out a ton of tools. "Since this is the first time a dragon has come here I need to get your measurements and tailor you an entire outfit," Coco exclaimed in full-blown excitement as she measured Spike's arms legs tail and wings.

"Umm hey I kinda have other places to go couldn't I just buy a few clothes and you could just stitch them together?" Spike getting more nervous as she pressed her boobs against him and writing down his size.

"I guess you're right this outfit would take the rest of the day." Stopping her work as she grabbed what would fit him and made him wait outside the room as she started working on it.

As Spike came back out he saw a crowd of ponies all looking at different clothes as a ruse to take a closer look at the dragon. Making him feel uncomfortable he sat down as three teenage mares sat down next to him.

"Hey, you're a dragon right!?" The young teenage mare said in excitement as her other two friends had the same look on their faces all three of them had extremely different styles you couldn't imagine them being friends. But just trying to imagine one without the other two just felt weirdly off. The one talking was an earth pony with a yellow coat and red mane she wore blue overalls with a baggy white T-shirt giving a glimpse of her breasts as she wore a pink plaid headband.

"Yeah, I am my name's Spike how about yours?" Spike smiled this time making sure not to show his teeth.

" Name's AppleBloom, this here is Scootaloo and she's SweetieBelle!" The other two girls stood up to do a little salute as the two were like polar opposites. Scootaloo being a pegasus with an orange coat was sticking out all over and a purple mane styled in a brushed-up mohawk. wearing a beat-up old Wonderbolt jacket with lightning bolts on the shoulders with a purple shirt and brown shorts. On the left, a sweet looking unicorn’s white coat was well-groomed her pink and purple mane was styled into silky curls that flowed down past her shoulders. She wore a white dress with a purple blouse on top of it with regal trimmings.

"Pleasure to meet you both." Spike did the same gesture with his hand that wasn't covering his crotch.

"So why ya naked?" Applebloom questioned as Spike immediately tried to change the question as he looked around to find Zecora to get him out of this mess. Not being able to see her he had to try the next best thing as he whistled loudly making Peewee rush to his side causing nonburnable flames to trail behind him.

"Well, this amazing bird is called a phoenix toughest bird in all of Equestria but doesn't know how to hold back on his flames." As Spike threw Peewee under the bus as Peewee looked back at him with a look of shock and disbelief cooing in response. Spike tried to ignore him not being able to look him in the eyes as he bit his lip only to hear the sound of curtains being pulled back as Coco waved him to the back room. "Hey, you three mind watching Peewee for me while I get this done thanks you're the best!" Turning around mouthing I'm sorry to his feathery friend.

"So this is a phoenix Granny Smith told me their so tough not a single metal in Equestria can hold them back when they're mad!" AppleBloom beamed stroking the back of Peewee's head as he cooed in enjoyment.

"Well, I heard there so fast nothing could keep up with them well besides Rainbow Dash obviously." Scootaloo corrected herself as she scratched underneath Peewee's chin

"They're feathers are supposed to be an everlasting masterpiece just one of them could make anything look ten times better." As Sweetie Belle tried to pluck one of Peewee's feathers only to be stopped by Zecora.

" A phoenix feather is all of those things, but to take one by force trouble it brings." Zecora smiled at the three mares

"Zecora!!!" As the three went to hug her. "How've you been Zecora?" AppleBloom asked knowing that the Carousel boutique isn't a place Zecora would spend her time.

"All though these clothes are things I'd recommend, I'm here to shop with a dear old friend" Zecora smiled as she let Peewee nuzzle against her.

"Wait a minute is your friend dragon and is his name, Spike." SweetieBelle chimed in as her eyes were sparkling with joy as Zecora went along with it.

"Oh yes, it seems you already know, and in reverse Spike has met the CMC trio," Zecora replied as the three girls went into a group huddle.

"Zecora has a special somepony well dragon," SweetieBelle informed the rest of the girls as they both looked at her confused.

"What are you talking about Zecora just said they're friends." Scootaloo corrected

"Yeah, that's what every adult pony says when they don't want others in their business." As SweetieBelle shot her friend's suggestion down flat.

"So yeah let's not be in their business remember what happened last time?" AppleBloom tried to make her friend recall what happened with her brother and teacher when they played matchmaker.

"Yeah but this will be different." SweetieBelle tried to convince the two as they looked unamused as her request as they moved behind her and grabbed her by the shoulders and dragged her away from the scene.

"See ya Zecora take care of Peewee for us." AppleBloom and Scootaloo said as they waved goodbye

"Come on girls no why!" SweetieBelle complained as they left the store and as if on cue the curtains unfolded as Spike walked out wearing a stitched together purple hoodie with two holes on the back for is wings and a pair of baggie pants matching pretty good with his necklace. As everypony took a good look at the dragon giving some Ooohs and ahhs as he made his way back to the now present Zecora. "Hey so how do I look?" Spike said giving a good ole fashioned turn barely able to see any sort of stitching.

"I must admit, this outfit is a perfect fit," Zecora said as she tossed his bag back at him as Peewee landed on Spike's head. as Coco walked up behind them and gave Spike a new satchel.

"An apology for the way I acted before and this outfit is on the house." Coco smiled as she went to the front desk to check out multiple ponies who were waiting for their turn.

Zecora leaned in and whispered in Spike's ear. "A very nice mare I saw her blushing, you should ask her for some very rough loving?" Making Spike blushed intensely as he wanted to scream at her but held back as he threw his hands in the air and just walked off.

Spike vs Mane six

Peewee, Zecora, and Spike walked out of the boutique with his face blushing as he switched satchels and filled it with bits as he looked at how much was there. “Now what should I use all this on?” Pondering what his large amounts of bits could be used for his stomach began growling like crazy. “Food ...definitely food Zecora where’s a good place to eat?” As Spike grabbed his stomach and kept walking forward.

“A meal so great that you’d jump for joy, come follow me and you’ll be sure to enjoy.” As Zecora grabbed Spike’s hand and walked quickly to a giant gingerbread bakery with a two-layer cupcake on top of it. “The Cakes are masterminds for sweets, eating here one time will have you coming back for more treats,” Zecora announced as they made their way inside getting hit with different types of aromas from cookies to pancakes. The intense smell had Spike and Peewee drooling not paying attention to the many staring of ponies.

“Mr. and Mrs. Cake a pleasure as always, many different delicious pastries with extra glaze.” Zecora requested as the two ponies looked at the two unique guests as they gave cheerful smiles.

“Of course what are you three in the mood for?” Mrs. Cake asked as she brought out a pen and paper.

“An herbal tea is all for me, but for these two something triple the portion of a mere pony.” Zecora gestured toward Spike and Peewee whose mouths are still drooling as she walked over towards a table.

“And what can I get you, two sweethearts?” Mrs. Cake said smiling as she wrote down Zecora’s order and waiting for theirs.

As Spike looked all over the glass counter as Peewee cooed his order in Spike’s ear.“Umm…could we have a dozen gem cupcakes a large apple cider with three birdseed cookies?” As he reached into his satchel and grabs enough bits to pay for their triple portion meal and Zecora’s.

“It’ll be right up sweetie!” Mrs. Cake walked back to the kitchen as Mr.Cake started working on Zecora’s tea as Spike made his way to the same table.

“This bakery smells so good,” Spike said taking another big whiff of the majestic aromas in the air as his body relaxes as he slips down in his chair. As Mr. Cake walks forward with Zecora’s herbal tea and places it in front of her with different kinds of berries and two breaded croissants.

“Yes, the SugarCube Corner has quite the fragrance, just begin inside has already brought me a new radiance.” Zecora smiled as she took a sip of her tea letting out a relaxed sigh.

Mrs. Cake and Mr.Cake come out walking with four large trays of desserts and a barrel of apple cider and places on the table. Turning heads of the many customers as they were questioning if he could eat all of this. “This looks delicious.” Spike grabs his claws on a sapphire cupcake and takes a bite as his eyes start to sparkle as he goes into ravenous eating shoving the whole cupcake into his mouth as he licked his scaly lips. “Hehe...wow sorry about that.” Spike gave an embarrassed grin as the other ponies started giving small chuckles and warm smiles as the whole bakery filled with joyous energy.

“Glad you like it, dearie,” Mrs.Cake said as she and Mr.Cake walked back towards the kitchen while Peewee goes to eat his birdseed cookies.

{Mane Six POV}

“Okay girls our mission is to kill this murderous beast and hopefully rescue the wandering ponies ancient holy phoenix and return it to them,” Twilight commanded as she walked with a grimoire in her hand moving through the elaborate tunnels. “This is extremely dangerous not only because dragons are very aggressive creatures but also because we have next to no information about them.” Going further into the tunnels as she turned around to make sure the rest of her team were keeping up.

Turning around she saw her Applejack giving a confident smile with the rest of the girls right behind as she placed her and onto Twilight. “Twi listen we all know how dangerous this assignment is that’s why we’re all here right now with you.”

“Well...Umm...technically?” Fluttershy being cut off by Rainbow’s hand covering her mouth and forcing her to agree.

“Yeah and besides were totally awesome at this shit we’ll be done with this mission ten seconds flat!” Rainbow said as her words echoed through the caves.

“And it’s super-duper fantastic that we get to go to Ponyville again I mean think of how many things have changed since we’ve lived there!” Pinkie Pie said now in her mercenary attire she wore a yellow shirt and frilly pink skirt and on her back was a giant hammer. The giant hammer seemed way to big for her to be carrying as a weapon but she was surprisingly proficient at it bouncing and skipping as they walked through the tunnels.

Hearing what Pinkie Pie said made Rarity and Applejack bite down on their lower lips worrying if their families were even still alive. As the group of girls came across what seemed to be a stairwell as they made their way upwards opening a secret trapdoor and entering the ruins of. The Castle of the Royal Pony Sisters as beams of sunlight passed through the busted rubble and haunted decor.

“ My word I’ll never understand why Celestia and Luna would allow their old royal castle to stay in such hideous shape?” Rarity said pulling out a frilly looking handkerchief to cover her mouth and nose as to not breathe in the ancient dust.

“There’s actually a fascinating reason behind Princess Luna’s decree for not letting it be rebuilt. She wanted to keep it this way as it serves as a great reminder of what jealousy and hatred could make a pony become. The horrid destruction that can break the bonds of family and the painful ignorance it can bring on to oneself.” Twilight explained walking around the ancient castle in full astoundment at the history it holds and will continue to tell for many generations. “And not only is this a great history lesson that can now be found in school books it also serves as a courage test for young fillies and colts. And even on Nightmare Night that has gotten a new version where ponies from all over celebrate sleeping through the day and playing through the night. Princess Luna was so happy when Princess Celestia made the holiday for her.” Twilight went on more and more about the history and trivial facts as she made her way towards the broken entrance and took a breath of fresh air as she saw the sun was getting ready to set as the burning red and orange filled the sky. “Okay girls let’s get to...” Opening her eyes she could see the rest of them were already crossing the bridge. “Girls wait up there are still some more fun facts about the castle.”

“Huh oh yes, believe me, darling we couldn’t be more enthusiastic about hearing the history of the Royal Pony Sisters castle for the third time.” Rarity and the rest of the group walked off as Twilight rolled her eyes and cracked open a history trivia book.

“So where in the hay is this dragon’s suppose to be Twilight?” AppleJack said pulling the scroll from her pocket and rereading the message. “ All it says is that this darn bucker lives on the outskirts of Ponyville in a barren wasteland but that could be anywhere do they not know how big the Everfree Forest is?” As Applejack handed it to Twilight and started pacing thinking of where the dragon lived.

“Rainbow Dash Fluttershy you two in the air see what you can see,” Twilight commanded as the two went into the air looking around to see an area that resembled a rocky, dry, isolated place. Fluttershy tugged on Rainbow Dash’s metal sheath that held her sword. As Rainbow Dash turned around and saw rocky mountains with not a soul in sight Fluttershy grabbed Rainbow’s face with her hand and forced it to look at a giant cave.

“Alright, we got a location Rambling Rock Ridge!” Rainbow informed the rest of the group as the two pegasuses head back towards them already on the run.

“Twilight darling I hope you made sure we got a plan on how we kill this dragon before we get there right?” Rarity asked running the same pace as Twilight while Applejack and Rainbow Dash were booking it jumping over fallen trees parkouring off whatever they could. Doing insane stunts that didn’t even make them go faster but just made them look so much more badass than the rest of the group.

“What’s the matter Applejack can’t keep up with an actual athlete?” Rainbow mockingly asked jumping from tree branch to tree branch as she smiled and kicked off one of the trees so hard leaving an imprint on it while not even using her wings flew to the other side of AppleJack and continued running. “Boom all that with steel armor you can admit it I’m amazing.” Rainbow boasted as a massive swamp was approaching. “Hey, cowgirl you know a swamp’s up ahead if you want I could carry you across.”

Rainbow smiled as AppleJack slowed down to grab Twilight and Rarity in her arms “Twilight Rarity boulder at 3’oclok mind helping me out.”

“You know darling this thing you and Rainbow Dash have it’s not...” Rarity was immediately stopped by Applejack squeezing her stomach tighter as she glared at her.

“Me and Dash don’t have a thing so kindly pick that boulder with your’s and Twi’s magic and throw it into the swamp or be prepared to be used as a springboard!” Applejack threatened and that’s all it took for the two unicorns to use a levitating spell on the boulder and throw it inside.

“Ha man AppleJack how dumb can you…”

*Booom*

Rainbow Dash was stopped in her tracks as a four-headed Hydra appeared from the swamp. As Applejack rushed towards it faster as she took a giant leap off she slammed her boot right on the neck of one of them as the other three tried to stop her. Moving with pinpoint accuracy and acrobatics she managed to avoid all of them and bounced her way to the other side. Letting Twilight and Rarity down as she said “ Ay reckon if' ya need me t' come pick ya up in maah arms ah could bounce back over. As she chuckled at Rainbow Dash’s blushing face.

“I got my wings,” Rainbow mumbled but it was loud enough for AppleJack to hear as she busted out laughing falling to her knees as Rainbow Dash slowly flew over to them not even having to avoid the hydra since AppleJack put them all back to sleep. “Happy now?” Blowing her hair out of the way as AppleJack got up wiping a tear from her eye.

“Next time don't get so full of yourself sugarcube.” As she patted Rainbow Dash on her back sending her leaning forward a little. “Now then where are Fluttershy and Pinkie…”

“Well silly all you had to do was ask!” As Pinkie and Fluttershy appeared like magic behind her.

“Now where the hay have you two been?” AppleJack said crossing her arms and tapping her finger.

“Umm...we got here before you,” Fluttershy interjected as her outfit of leaves turned a more gray and dusty color proving that they were already where they needed to be. As she clutched onto the birdcage.

“What how did you two get there?” Twilight said trying to recollect her thoughts from AppleJack’s performance.

“I hitched a ride with Fluttershy and we’ve been over at the entrance of the cave for what felt like forever so we came to see what was keeping all of you!?” Pinkie Pie said smilingly smugly at Applejack and Rainbow Dash. “So what were you all doing hmmm?”

“Well umm, you see umm nothing it was nothing much just a friendly competition.” Applejack and Rainbow Dash said sweating as Pinkie Pie grilled them.

“So nothing going on with anyone?” Pinkie leaned in closer with the biggest mischievous smile on her face.

“Nope, nothing going on here.”

“Well, then you don’t mind.” As Pinkie Pie lifted her pinkies and brought them close to Rainbow Dash and Applejack’s “Pinkie promising.” Applejack and Rainbow Dash started panicking like crazy as they looked at each other.

“Sure after we deal with this dragon.” AppleJack said pushing Pinkie’s hand back towards her as she tried to make a break for it.

“Yep, the dragon that we need to kill let’s go shall we!” As Rainbow Dash does the same.

“Couldn’t agree more!” Both of them make a break for the cave.

{Spike’s Pov}

Buurrppp

Ten trays with crumbs on them and two big barrels of apple-cider and three clear glasses of that held milkshakes “That was absolutely amazing.” Spike said with his head down with Peewee on the table laying on his back with a huge belly as Zecora finished her second herbal tea and berries.

“Stuffing your face like a parasprite, made the morning sun turn to a burning orange light,” Zecora said telling off her two friends as Spike lifted his arm pointing a finger at her and not looking up.

“Look it’s not my fault that everypony here paid for more food just so they could pet Peewee,” Spike replied lifting his head off the table as he puts a huge tip on the table as he grabbed Peewee and placed him in his hood. “Shall we head out?” Spike asked holding his hand out for Zecora’s with a charming smile.

Taking his hand Zecora walked closer and closer to Spike’s face till they both could hear the other’s breathing. “Spike a fine drake you have become,” Zecora said pulling Spike’s hoodie making him come inches away from her mouth as Spike’s heart began beating faster and faster. Closing his eyes and puckering his lips Zecora smiled and went past his lips and whispered in his ear. “Even though you are covered in jelly cherry plum.” Spike snapped back to reality wiping his mouth with his hand only to realize it had already stained his mouth.

“Come on Zecora did you really have to mess with me like that!” Spike said trying to hide his blushing face as his scales turned bright red.

“As bright as a phoenix your scally face has turned a kiss you want well that must be well earned.” Zecora chuckled as she ruffled Spike’s spines like a pony’s mane “Hope this was a magical birthday my dragon friend but do try not to overspend.” As she walked towards the door out of Sugarcube Corner.

Spike jammed his hands into his pockets as he heard Peewee snickering “Hahaha, very funny let’s go home shall we?” As Peewee cooed mimicking exactly what Zecora just said and flew outside. “Ohhh so this is what we’re doing now alright!” Surprised at his friend’s sarcastic sass as he followed him. “Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Cake the food was absolutely delicious.” As he smiled waving his hand unfurling his wings as he chases Peewee down toward their cave. Zipping down different alleyways and going under bridges as the two laughed into the night heading towards the Everfree Forest flying around it as to not draw the attention of the creatures living there. A mischievous grin creeps onto Peewee’s face as he begins to speed up and making a hard left and goes into the Everfree Forest. As the color in Spike’s face goes white “Peewee!!! Nonononono.” Spike starts to panic breathing heavily and does the same trying to keep up with him.

{Mane Six}

“Hey, Twilight darling could you maybe pinch me to see if I’m dreaming because I might be dreaming.” Rarity’s eyes were sparkling as she set her eyes on the thousands of gems that were in front of her.

“If you’re dreaming Rares ay think I’m there too.” Applejack said with eyes entranced by the number of bits more than she ever could imagine.

“This must be everything that fucker stole from the villages he destroyed.” Rainbow Dash said gritting her teeth as her fists were balled up. “If that bastard knows what’s good for him he’ll die slow and painful!” As her breathing became heavier as Twilight placed her hand onto her shoulder.

“Don’t worry everything here will go back to the village hopefully that’ll give them a fresh start,” Twilight said with confidence in her voice as she opened her grimoire as her eyes began to glow pure white as the treasure started to move into the air.

“Even if we give them all of this treasure they won’t be able to rebuild their spirits without their precious phoenix.” Fluttershy began to cry as a soft cooing could be heard in the distance. “That noise it’s a phoenix cry it’s still alive!” Fluttershy scrambled to her feet and grabbed the magical birdcage as she headed outside.

“Fluttershy wait!!!” The rest of the girls except for Twilight moved outside as a fiery streak came bursting out of the forest with a huge smile on his face till he saw a group of unknown visitors. As he tried to stop his flying but not being able to fight a gravitating force as he was pulled into the cage and it shut with many different locks.

“OH, MY CELESTIA we fucking crushed this mission!!!!” Rainbow Dash yelled as she slung her arm around Fluttershy and shook her around. Looking at her pegasus friend she noticed her face was in shock. "Hey, Fluttershy what's wrong…" Turning her head to the forest she saw a terrifying creature with mutilated clothing his mouth covered in blood glaring like a predator stalking its prey. As the beast opened his mouth a spark of green flame in the back of his throat appeared.

"Girls get in formation!" Twilight shouted as the rest of them all pulled out their weapons as Fluttershy flew beside Twilight preparing her bow and arrows. While Twilight began to read her grimoire casting her magic on Fluttershy as she felt an intense power she began to rapidly fired her arrows. Aiming for the dragon's vitals as the seven arrows moved through the air at high velocity. The dragon barely dodged two of the speeding arrows scraping his cheek but ultimately getting pierced by the rest of them. As blood oozed out of his shoulders and chest as he screamed in agonizing pain only to be cut off by the arrow to his windpipe making him fall to his knees. Only to meet the eyes of a smiling mare hitting his lower jaw with a giant metal hammer as the force knocked him into the sky.

"Rainbow Dash Rarity cut off any escape he has," Twilight said as Rainbow Dash flew into the night sky grabbing Rarity's hand cutting through the cool night air. Meeting the dragon falling towards them Rainbow Dash threw Rarity on the other side of him. As Rarity illuminated her rapier along with Rainbow's broadsword they cut through the hard skeleton bone of the dragon's wings. Blood falling all over the two as Rainbow Dash did a U-turn grabbing Rarity's hand once again.

"Make sure this bastard goes straight to Tartarus AJ!!" Rainbow yelled as she looked at Applejack lifting her hat and cracking her whip. As the bloody beaten up dragon was in her line of sight she threw her whip in the air wrapping around the dragon's entire body. Applejack then pushed a button on the handle as tiny blades came out climbing fast. Stabbing him all over as she yanked him to the ground head first as a cloud of dust filled the air.

Rainbow Dash and Rarity regrouped with the others as they made their way to the dead body covered in blood. "That was easier than I thought it would be?" Rainbow Dash said spitting at the dead corpse.

"Fluttershy how's the phoenix doing" Rarity looked back at her teammate seeing she was still clutching tightly to the cage.

"He seems to have fallen asleep so that good." Fluttershy smiled as she sighed with relieve looking down at the dead dragon. gulp "What...do..we do with that?" Fluttershy asked trying not to make any eye contact with it.

"Girls let's drag this dragon back to Canterlot so the villagers can have some peace of mind." Twilight suggested as she lit her horn and surrounded the dragon with her aura levitating him off the ground. As the rest of the girls followed her back to the ruins.

Hey sorry for the wait but I've been binge-watching dimension 20 hopefully I can get more out soon:yay:

Spike vs Mane six pt 2

{Everfree Forest 30 minutes ago}

Zipping through the forest as fast as possible scanning every part of the wooden area for his best pal. “Peewee...Peewee come on this is not safe and you know it!!” Spike screamed as he clicked his tongue lighting a green mystic fire in his mouth to light up his surroundings as he heard cooing in the distance. “Oh no oh no!!” Panicking more and more as he flew towards the noise. As he made his way through to see Peewee dodging a pack of Timberwolves mocking them with his quick movement. “Peewee stop taunting those Timberwolves!” Spike screamed making the pack turn to look at him snarling as they made their way closer. “Ah shit,” Spike said spitting a green flame into his hands as the burning hot fire engulfed around them. “Alright, you pesky mutts bring it on!”

*HOOOOWWWWLLL*

Spike announced charging into the fight as the pack howled doing the same with Peewee continuing to dodge their wooden stake teeth with ease. Spike saw the one Peewee was distracting hitting it in the face knocking it back as hard as he could breaking the wolf apart. As the other Timberwolves clawed at him Spike dodges them just enough to just rip his clothes. “Fuck I just got these,” Spike said as he clasped his burning hands together slamming down on top of the wolf’s head. Hearing the sound of crackling wood the wolf exploded with a shrieking howl. Glaring at the last wolf with an evil smile on his face as he cracked his knuckles and neck. “Well well well, do you wanna keep this going or are you good,” Spike said confidently opening his mouth letting a small green flame out making the final Timberwolf run away.

“Glad that’s over too bad for my new clothes though.” Spike regretfully said looking at his destroyed clothes as Peewee cooed sadly landing on his friend’s shoulder. “Aww, I know you didn’t mean to buddy it’s all good.” Spike scratched under Peewee’s chin as three feathers fell off his body. “Hey, buddy it's your molting season I guess it’s a new beginning for both of us!” Spike said excitedly putting the feathers in his pocket as Peewee perked up as Spike got on all fours and smiled. “But you know a race is still a race,” Spike said sprinting in the air with Peewee going a few seconds later as they zig-zagged through the trees as a trail of fire came off of them. Peewee began to burst into a ball of fire as he soared past Spike by a half a mile. Bursting out of the forest with a huge smile on his face till he saw a group of unknown visitors. Flapping his wings to get away screeching as loudly as possible the mysterious group opened what seemed like a cage. As a powerful gravitational force pulled him into a golden cage as it closed locking itself with multiple magic locks. Flying out of the forest panting heavy as Spike’s green fire was still burning bright as Peewee cooed happily.

Spike’s eyes glared at the group of trespassers who held Peewee captive only for a fraction of time as six purple arrows came shooting at him. Spike moved barely fast enough to dodge two of the speeding arrows only for them to scrape his cheek but ultimately getting pierced by the rest of them. As blood oozed out of his shoulders and chest as he screamed in agonizing pain only to be cut off by the arrow to his windpipe making him fall out of the air and crashing to his knees. *Wheezing* “Who the fuck are these ponies!” Spike thought to himself as he tried to pull the arrows out of his shoulders only to meet the eyes of a smiling pink mare. As she rotated her waist hitting his lower jaw with a giant metal hammer as the force knocked him clean into the sky. “Fuck fuck fuck these ponies are out for blood,” Spike said as more blood spurted out as he ripped the arrow out of his neck as he quickly slammed his hand into his pocket and pulled out Peewee’s feathers.

"Rainbow Dash Rarity cut off any escape he has," The purple mare said as a rainbow-colored pegasus grabbed hold of a snow-white unicorn hand cutting through the cool night air. Stuffing the feathers into his mouth as he swallowed them at the exact time as the two mares dismembered his wings. As the intense burning heat of Peewee’s feathers coursed through Spike’s blood and the agonizing pain from having his wings dismantled from his body. His blood now all over his two killers as his consciousness begins to fade away looking up at Spike falling blood all throughout the night Peewee desperately tried turning into another ball of fire to bust out of the cage but failing to do so as the cage sent an electric current making him faint.

"Make sure this bastard goes straight to Tartarus AJ!!" The mare yelled as she looked at down at her other partner in crime. Spike felt the burning embrace of the whip wrapped around his entire body. As tiny blades began to stab him all over his body was yanked to the ground head first as a cloud of dust filled the air as Spike blacked out.

{Underground Cave}

*Plink!* *Plink!* *Plink!*

As tiny drops of cold water began to tap Spike’s face making him begrudgingly open his eyes slightly. Spike immediately found it hard to breathe as blood kept dripping from his throat feeling a burning sensation in his body as the feathers were still healing his wounds as he heard voices coming beside him.

*Hahaha* "I still can’t believe we killed a dragon we are so fucking badass!” Moving his eye just barely to catch a look at who was speaking as he saw a mare sitting with a very colorful mane as she polished her sword wiping his own blood off it.

“Rainbow Dash this mission wasn’t meant to boost our own egos we killed this savage murderous dragon because he pillaged, murdered, and burned down a town and if kept alive he would most likely do it again.” Moving his other eye Spike saw another mare crouched up reading a book as she paraphrased why they killed him.

“What the...Where in Tartarus did these psychos get the idea I killed some ponies let alone pillage a town?” Spike thought to himself as he closed his eyes trying not to make any awkward movements. “Okay...okay think Spike think maybe if I hit them with a surprise attack and find Peewee and fly.” As soon as Spike thought about his wings his brain went into a full-blown panic attack realizing that his wings were still gone. “Fuucckk ok this is very very bad!!! Ok, new plan I'll pretend to still be dead until my wings come back and then I'll escape with Peewee.”

“We were still badass Twilight.”Rainbow Dash said as she twirled her sword placing it back in her sheath.

“And I’m sure the town’s ponies will be so happy that we’ve brought back their precious phoenix.” Spike’s mind immediately went into red alert as he opened his eyes again carefully looking at a mare with a smile on her face as she held Peewee in a cage while he tried to fly around looking for an exit. As she observed him closer her smile became more worried. “Umm girls isn’t it better to let the phoenix breathe?” The other two mares looked at her like she lost her mind. “I mean look at him he must be tired being locked in this cage and look how friendly he is.” As she tried to place her finger in the cage only for Peewee to bite her. “Oh, he must still be wary of us?” As she placed her finger in her mouth to stop the swelling.

“Yeah...sure Fluttershy when’s AJ and the rest of them coming back I’m sooo bored.” Rainbow Dash said in a drained tone.

“Why ya miss me or sumthin'.” Walking into the cave were three more mares as the one talking slammed her hat on Rainbow Dash.

“Yeah right, cowgirl I was more looking forward to Pinkie Pie getting my food.” Rainbow Dash said looking at Pinkie handing her a sack of food and a large cup.

“Here you go Dashie two daisy sandwiches with a large order of hayfries and a large apple cider.” Pinkie Pie said rushing over to Twilight and Fluttershy.

Twilight here you go a combo large hayburger and horseshoe fries with lemonade and I didn't forget you Fluttershy one royal sisters' salad.” Pinkie Pie said as she listed off the girls' meals rummaging in Spike's satchel as she pulled out a red hot cupcake. Just the smell of it alone caused everponies eyes to weep. “And for me a super-duper fire rock salt cupcake with extra burning hot sauce!”

“Pinkie darling that pastry is just screaming death just being near it is causing my makeup to run.” Rarity said holding her handkerchief covering her nose and mouth. “I most hardly advise against putting such dreadful food into your mouth.” Rarity urged Pinkie Pie to get rid of her sizzling cupcake as Pinkie Pie took a huge bite out of it.

“Pinkie nooo come on!!!” The whole team said in unison as they felt their bodies reject the thought of getting closer to stop her from eating the rest.

"Oh, you all are just a bunch fillies." Pinkie teased as she ate the rest of her cupcake licking her fingers as she moved her hand back into the bag. "Besides It's not like I had to use my money on all our food that dragon was loaded!!" Pinkie Pie said jangling Spike's satchel as the sound of bits could still be heard.

"Ah hope ya didn't buy another one of those fire cupcakes?" Applejack said as she tried to wipe away her tears.

"Nope, Pound and Pumpkin could only stand to make one of them so I had to buy the next best thing..." Pinkie Pie was about to continue only for her coat to turn bright red as her mouth spurted fire just like a dragon. Running towards her teammates looking to douse the fire in her mouth.

Rainbow Dash looked right at Pinkie Pie and chugged her cider as fast as possible. "Hehehe whoops." Rainbow Dash said tipping her drink showing no more as Pinkie Pie looked to Twilight for help.

"We told you not to eat that cupcake now you suffer the consequences," Twilight said with a tired expression as she drank her last drop of lemonade. "That's enough of a break let's get a move on *Hnnnggg* We'll reach Canterlot by morning and show the town's ponies that this beast has been killed," Twilight commanded as she lifted Spike with her magic as the rest of the girls followed with Pinkie falling behind with tears in her eyes and panting rapidly.

"Canterlot I don't even know any pony from Canterlot these fucking wackos killed me by mistake!!!" Spike screamed in his head as he felt his body being lifted in the air hearing the sound of footsteps echoed off the walls.

"Applejack and Rarity how are your families doing?" Twilight said trembling at the thought of hitting a still-open wound.

"Yeah well the thing about that is..thair doin' mighty fine better than whe-yn ah done had t' uhp eend leave for Canterlot!" Applejack said giving a confident smile with a thumbs up.

"A little too fine SweetieBelle, AppleBloom, and Scootaloo were out way past their bedtime we wanted to search for them but trying to look all over Ponyville for them would be impossible, but I'm happy that they're all safe." Rarity explained looking at a compact mirror redoing her makeup looking down at Spike as she noticed a shiny ruby glint of light. "Oh my, what's this magnificent gem." Rarity said leaning closer placing her hand across Spike's bloody chest as she pulled out the fire ruby. "My word this is the most beautiful gemstone I have ever seen the cut, the alluring necklace, my word this is absolutely lovely and just look at the exquisite color I've never seen such beauty before!" As Rarity tried to take the gem for herself it started blinking forcing her hand back.

"What the fuck did you do Rarity!" Twilight screamed pushing her aside as she tried to take the necklace off of Spike but not being able to as it began to glow and shoot a beam of light at her sending her against the wall. Causing her concentration on the levitating spell to break as a flash of light resembling a phoenix illuminated out of Spike.

Spike immediately opened his eyes as he felt the rest of his wounds heal landing on his feet before any of the girls could react to what they saw. Spike quickly charged towards Applejack forming a fist as the air formed around it not even having to hit her to send her flying as she slammed into the cavern wall. Turning his eyes towards Rainbow Dash and Rarity inches away from drawing their weapons Spike slammed his foot into the ground kicking up a good amount of pebbles and rocks. Rapidly spitting fire on all of them as he calmed his breathing controlling the flames he sent them flying towards them making sure not to cause any real damage as they surrounded them in a tornado.

"How the fuck can this be possible we...we...we killed him!?" Twilight said stammering seeing the presumably dead dragon standing before her as her mane became crazier. Quickly looking in her grimoire for a spell as she lit up her horn as the area around her turned into chains of rocks commanding the chains to subdue Spike.

Looking around for the rest of the girls Spike notices the chains coming at him along with Pinkie Pie wielding her hammer with a one-track mind of bashing his brains in. Spike gave a mischievous smile as he moved towards her as the chains followed him. Closing the distance between one another Spike pivoted behind Pinkie Pie kicking her right into the rocky chains as they grabbed hold of her. "Hey, thanks for holding onto my satchel you're a peach." Spike said as he flipped open his satchel taking out the objects Pinkie Pie stored inside. "Let's lookie here we have a few receipts which I assume you used my bits, a few party items oh so you all were going to have a party for killing me, and finally what the??" Spike's eyes widened as he pulled out a humongous cake looking at how big it is and looking back at his satchel utterly confused how she was able to put it in there. "How the fu.." Spike was stopped dead in his tracks as he was shot in his side by Fluttershy who was hiding behind a rock with Peewee.

Spike turned to look at Peewee who started cooing happily waving his wing. Spike walked just a few steps closer only to get stopped by a whip as tiny blades began to crawl forward at breakneck speed. "Nice work Fluttershy now then let's make sure this dragon dies for good." Applejack said as she tried to pull him back.

"Not this time bitch," Spike said yanking the whip away from his neck before the blades got to close to him as he quickly unfurled his wings and boosted towards Applejack closing the distance trying to grab hold of the handle.

"Keep your murderous claws to yourself." Applejack said parrying every one of Spike's moves as she quickly jumped back roundhouse kicking him. Spike held his head to stop the ringing as Applejack went back on the offensive jabbing Spike in the gut making him bend over as Applejack went around him and wrapped her arms around his stomach and doing a perfect german suplex on him.

Still bent over Applejack felt Spike's tail wrap around her torso as Spike smiled spreading his wings out and pushing his entire body up as the two were now at the top of the cave. "You know Earth ponies should stay grounded," Spike said as he kicked off the ceiling getting closer to the ground with Applejack still tangled he body-slammed her into the ground as a huge dust cloud appeared.

*Aaahhh* *Aaaahhh*

Walking out of the dust cloud breathing heavy Spike rotated his elbow with one hand massaging it glaring Fluttershy. "Now then you cunts mind giving back my..." Spike's body stopped dead in its tracks as an icy cold chill ran down his spine. As Fluttershy walked closer the intense chill grew as Spike tried to walk back but couldn't. Fluttershy looked up at him glaring daggers as she put her hand on his shoulder as Spike felt his knees buckle down.

"Let me tell you something I don't like killing, in my opinion, I think everypony has good in them." Fluttershy said moving her hand to Spike's neck as she leaned in. "But hurting my friends and taking innocent animals captive." Gripping harder as she looked at him with disgust as Spike began coughing trying to break free of her grasp but still not being able to move.

Gritting his teeth and breathing slowly "Weeelll I wouldn't have to *Hnng* if you psychos didn't take my p."

Slamming his head to the ground as she toppled on top of him. "See now I know for a fact you didn't think bird knapping a town's precious phoenix made it yours did you." Fluttershy said as Spike's eyes were blinking rapidly as he looked at her and spat on her face.

"I didn't...steal anything...you fucking whackjob!!!" Spike snarled clawing into the ground as he tried to break free.

"Tsk...Tsk...Tsk wrong answer dragon boy I would have so loved to talk to you about your species to bad. Fluttershy said bringing out her bow and arrow as whatever spell she was using releases for just a few seconds but that was more than enough for Spike to throw dirt in her face.

*Cough* *Cough*

Spike grabbed Fluttershy by her dress tossing her off of him as he moved back to the center. Fluttershy side-flipped to her feet seeing that the rest of her team were back in action dropping their weapons as the six mares went to encircle him.

"Ah'll admit you're tougher than we first thought but that doesn't mean you're not gonna die right here right now you cocksucker. Applejack said as she cracked her knuckles spitting blood out of her mouth.

"Yeah, congrats you're not only the first dragon we get to kill!!" Pinkie Pie smiled as she licked her lips giggling too herself. "But the only target who lasted this long."Rainbow Dash said stretching her arms as she walked forward with the rest of the girls.

" I really wish I could take that beautiful ruby for myself darling but I guess it's not my destiny too possesss." Rarity said fixing her singed mane.

" Girls I think we should give this target our full attention?" Twilight said slamming her grimoire close as all of the girls' eyes shined pure white as they began to float in the air. A bright flash of different colored lights surrounded them as the caverns began to shake "Well, any last words?" Twilight's voice sounded thunderous and gentle at the same time as a cyclone of colors shot forward at Spike.

Spike stood there seeing this powerful beam coming straight at him as he glared at the six mares."Listen here all of you I didn't steal anything and I definitely didn't murder anypony you got that!!!" Screaming so loud it echoed all through the cave taking the hit in full.

Grandiose amounts of colors filled the cave with Spike in the front lines of the blast as his body began to morph into stone as he could no longer feel his legs, arms , and then as the light faded away all that was left was a stone statue of Spike. As the six mares descended back down to the ground with a triumphant smile on their faces.

"Well, girls I can once again say that this mission is now com." Twilight was about to ramble into a long speech about how anything could be accomplished with teamwork but as she looked back at the statue she could hear small vibrations coming from it.

"Uhhh Twilight that's not supposed to happen right!?" Rainbow Dash said as all the girls backed up confused as to what was about to happen.

As the vibrating became more and more powerful cracks in the stony structure could be seen going all the way spreading out like branches on a tree. The statue started to break off piece by piece as another burst of light came from it. Stepping out was Spike looking like he just had a refreshing spa day his scales were glistening all the dirt and blood on him was gone.

"ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!!! After all that fighting we shot him with the Elements of Harmony what does it take to kill this bastard!!!" Rainbow Dash screamed dragging her fingers to her face and pulling down and groaning. As the sound of clapping could be heard from the other side of the cave all of them looked to see a mare leaning against the cavern wall.

"The Elements of Harmony magic at it's finest, but not listening to the enemy plea you lot are not the brightest." Zecora smiled at the group.

"ZECORA!!!" They all said in unison.
