Author's Note

Wow the longest chapter yet for this story. Also a few things;

1. Spike while small he is mature as an 18-year-old human he just is growing slower than the ponies he lives around.

a. Even though he is physically mature he still isn't mature enough for a relationship or intimacy so anything with him is a while off at the moment.

1. This is chapter holds my first ever fight scene for any of my stories EVER so it might not be very good so please don't hate me for it.

2. Yes I know I how I ended this chapter but you'll just have to wait and see.

P.S. looking for editor(s) who are willing to help improve this story.

Ch. 4 Meeting the Ponies

I wait as the blips on my motion tracking radar continue to get closer, the dots colored yellow to signify non-combatants as they near the strange bend in the ditch that the ship made during the crash. I shuffle my talons in the soft soil as I feel my wings twitch from my growing excitement at meeting some of my favorite ponies, the only thing stopping me from running around the bend to greet them was the new sense of discipline I gained with this new body. Finally after what felt like forever and I felt like I was going to explode their dots rounded the corner, as soon as they laid eyes on the Normandy I had to stifle some giggles as each and every one of their jaws dropped and hung open while they took in every visible detail. While they were admiring my new ship I took the time to look them over only mildly surprised that they were standing on two legs, but the part that shocked me the most and got my blood pumping was that Each and Every one of them was naked!

Giving me full view of their furry fluffy bodies though I had trouble spotting anything between their legs due to the fur I could easily see their naked breasts with their nipples being a darker shade than their fur making them stand out. Instantly I could feel myself growing hard under my armor as my new libido wared with my fangirling over meeting these seven beings. In the mere seconds that it took me to pull my lust under wraps I was able to take in their forms.

I started on the left with Pinkie Pie, standing at around the second tallest of their group at what I would guess was 6' even. But that wasn't what my eyes were taking in her plump but not fat figure with juicy thick thighs, a big bubble butt, and tits at least two sizes bigger than my own, making me feel a mixture of jealousy and lust as I pulled my gaze to the next in line.

The next member of the famous group was AppleJack and she was built like a brick house, with visible muscles rippling under her orange fur as she unconsciously flexed in case of a fight. Though that's not saying she wasn't hot as hell, she had just enough muscle definition to be impressive but not too much to be unsightly. Her toned body standing the tallest of the girls at what I would guess was about 6' 4" give or take a few inches. Her breasts looked to be about double D's making them slightly smaller than mine but that didn't surprise me as she obviously gets a lot of exercise.

Next to AJ was the alabaster mare known as Rarity standing elegantly even in her shocked stupor, with her clean white fur giving her an angelic look with her average height of what I would say was about 5' 5". Her body showed no visible signs of muscle like AJ but it was clear she was in great shape as her curvy body had it all just right making her look like the ideal image of feminine beauty. With her hourglass figure and perfectly portioned breasts and ass to give her the look of a seductive goddess.

At the lead of their little group was none other than Twilight Sparkle, who stood around my height, as her analytical mind took in every little detail of the Normandy. I could practically see the multitude of questions buzzing around her rebooting brain through the sparkle in her purple eyes. As I looked the cute bookworm over I noticed she gave off the air of a nerd though the cute kind. You know that cute nerdy girl back in high school that had freckles and glasses, that always seemed shy and unassuming that you would spy sitting by herself in the library studying. She had probably the second smallest of the group in breast size with them being probably C cup, though this didn't hurt her attractiveness it rather enhanced it by adding an air of innocence to her that came from her figure. She wasn't super sexy like Rarity but she wasn't ugly either she had the beauty of a simple girl with modest curves.

I found it hard to pull my eyes away from the cute Twilight to move to the one and only Rainbow Dash, who's slim figure screamed 'Athlete' with her trim muscles and toned midsection. She obviously had a good amount of muscle but due to her pegasus blood, she wasn't built like AppleJack even though she could match the farm mare for strength. Her body was much more aerodynamic than the other's with small breasts being slightly smaller than Twilight's, her hips weren't as wide as the others nor was her rear as plump but none of this stopped her from being drop-dead sexy athlete material. I could see her wings twitch in possible agitation in case a monster attacked and she needed to defend her friends. She stood about 5' making her the second shortest behind the only dragon of their group, who was standing next to her.

Spike stood at probably 4' 10" meaning he was probably older than he was in the show even though Twilight wasn't a princess, though whether or not she will become one I have no clue as by my being here and them being the way they are meant I wasn't in the show as I knew it. As I looked over my favorite dragon of the series I noticed that he had a good-sized pair of gonads with a similar sheath to my own though smaller than mine. But the part about the little drake that gave me pause, was his eyes as they locked with mine I could feel myself smiling wide under my helmet as I noticed his pupils looked like hearts instead of the slits they should've been. I noticed that his own pink cock was starting to poke out of his scaly sheath moments before he did which he quickly blushed and tried to hide from view. I blushed as I felt my own bulging my suit visibly since I was from a society that valued clothing for decency.

Finally trying to hide behind the drake was the shyest of the group and one I would probably have the hardest time to befriend since I was mostly dragon. Even though she was crouched down I could tell she was around 5' 3" or 5' 4" though were Rarity was sexy Fluttershy was a hundred times as beautiful, she had those long legs with plump thighs and rump with her wide hips and soft curves that lead to her massive breasts. They were huge! I mean they looked like the size of my head making me lick my suddenly dry lips as I pried my eyes away from those glorious mounds of flesh to find she was the only other one to have noticed me right away besides Spike.

Shaking my head I give a soft cough to draw the attention of the others away from the ship and to me before I begin to make my way over to the slowly and softly. Treading carefully with my talons so as not to startle them. Once I was standing before their group I was wondering how to greet them when suddenly I found myself being bowled over as a massive beast tackled me to the ground. As we stopped rolling and my vision stopped swimming I realized I was on my back with a huge Manticore standing above me before it opened its maw and roared in my face. I could hear the girls and Spike scream at the sudden appearance of the beast that had tackled me causing it to snap its head to look at them.

It obviously decided that the naked ponies and dragon would make for an easier meal than the armored dragoness he was pinning. I watched as he slowly got off me and turned to face them head-on when I realized what was happening I felt an overwhelming desire to protect them since they were unarmed. So quickly getting to my feet I unholster my Avenger and yell out "Hey you overgrown cat! Fight me!" Before letting off a shot into the ground as a show of challenge with my wings flared out behind me. It turned back to me and accepted my challenge by roaring and charging me and that's when time seemed to slow down as I started to panic wondering why the hell I just did that, and now I'm going to get eaten before the others are eaten too. Within two short bounds, it was right on top of me again when the world seemed to freeze and my mind cleared and went calm. I knew what I had to do.

With a quick powerful flap of my wings, I fly backwards just as the beast's claws gouge the soil I was mere moments before and as it looks up surprised I had dodged his opening attack only to find me sprinting around to its side with my weapon raised before I open fire sending a short burst of shots into the manticore's side causing it to let out a painful roar and lunge at me again this time I dodged by diving to the side and rolling on the ground to spring to my feet still on its right side where I let off another burst of fire at the same spot opening up a few bloody holes as the tough hide finally breaks.

It stops dead as do I, as I watch as he looks to his new wounds then back to me with rage filling his amber eyes as he pounces far faster than before catching me off guard and pinning me under his sheer weight as he begins to claw at the midsection of my armor putting large gouges in the metal but not getting through to my scales as I feel a power flare-up and coarse through my body as I find the strength to kick him off of me. When I look down to see what the damage was while he recovered from hitting a tree at the edge of the clearing shaking off his daze as purple wisps of power faded quickly from my limbs showing I had just used the power of Biotics to change the gravity affecting the large predator allowing me to throw him off and so far.

Jumping up I raise my weapon and fire again into his face this time a long-drawn-out burst of fire from my rifle as he lifts his paws and swats it around like he was trying to swat away bees. As little holes began to appear in his flesh from my bullets he roared and swung at me making me crouch down which was a mistake as his tail lunged forward and pierced my armor and I could feel the cool sensation of his venom flowing into me before it began to burn like a million fire ants were crawling and bitting me from the inside making me let out a roar of anguish of my own as I quickly felt my strength failing thanks to his venom. Leaving me to lay there whimpering in pain as he moves in to strike the blow to end my life.

(POV Manticore)

I'm just about to bite the head of the annoying dragoness that had wounded me so and caused me such pain when suddenly my vision is filled with nothing but teal making me back up to notice that the yellow pony who was cowering earlier was now staring me down. Her stare had me locked in place as she began to reprimand me for attacking them when she is cut off by a whimper from the prone dragoness as my venom flowed through her veins surely to end her in a much more painful end then what I was about to give her. This whimper drew the attention of the pegasus away from me giving me a chance to escape as I had no desire to face those paralyzing eyes again. Soon I was far away from the clearing with the ponies and dragons before I found a cold clear stream to clean my wounds on my shoulder with since I couldn't reach them with my tongue.

(POV Fluttershy)

I watched in horror as the strange armored Dragoness was attacked by a manticore only for my fear to skyrocket as it turned its head towards us and licked its lips and its eyes shined with a hunger. But before any of my friends could begin to fight the beast the dragoness was standing holding a strange object that looked like a rifle before she shot the dirt in challenge confirming that it was a firearm of some sort but that didn't matter as I watched the two quickly engage each other the dragoness barely dodging the manticores swing before she began to shot though in rapid-fire unlike the flintlock weapons that the Equestrian Royal Army uses but her shots didn't seem to do more than annoy the manticore. It roared and attacked her once more and once more she dodged and fired several shots into the same place as before where I could see little bloody holes open up as her weapon's ammo pierced his thick hide.

With another scream from me and the girls, we watched as the manticore pinned the strange dragoness to the ground and begin to claw into her armored middle. But before he could get through her armor her arms and legs flared with wisps of dark purple energy before the manticore was sent flying across the clearing to hit a tree shocking us one more as we had no idea what that was. So the seven of us watched in fear as the dragoness stood up and began to shoot at the manticore once more this time aiming for his head making him swat at the bullets like they were bees.

I watch as the manticore closes the distance once more and feigns an overhead swipe making the dragoness duck which he used to attack her with his venomous tail as it struck faster than lightening and pierced the girl's armor and delivering its deadly payload into her stomach making her roar out in pain before curling into a ball on the ground in the fetal position as the manticore moved in to finish her off I couldn't take it anymore I flew in and gave him the stare and began to tell him what a bad boy he was for just attacking ponies and dragons at random when I hear a pain-filled whimper come from the prone dragoness making me take my eyes off the manticores giving him a chance to flee before I could finish reprimanding him and then helping with his wounds as his tail fled away into the deeper part of the forest.

Rushing over to the downed dragoness I look her over only to pale as I realize that she has very little time before the venom reaches her heart so looking up at the others who were still stock-still with tears forming in my eyes "Girls she needs help right now or she's not going to make it" She motions to the dragoness on the ground before her.
