I
New nightmare, the same old horrors

It was a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Perfect to have a nice picnic with friends to forget about all worries and just have fun.

Yes, all sunny and warm. The idea of a picnic came to the girls’ mind as soon as Celestia raised the sun. They even met halfway to their respective houses to invite each other to have a picnic, and this was the result.

They reunited in a small open field looking at the mountains. The six fiends and the good old Spike, who now have gotten taller and with a pair of black wings growing from his back.

They were all chatting and eating happily just enjoying the beautiful day.

“Spikey-Wikey! This is your second basket of gems! You can get fat!” scolded Rarity, after seeing how Spike grabbed more gems to eat. “It feels like you want to get fat and ugly on purpose!”

Spike looked at her annoyed, and expelled some smoke from his nose as a warning, but Twilight glared at him.

The dragon grumbled. “Whatever, I’m taking a walk.”

“You should be more considerate with his feelings!” said Fluttershy to Rarity. “You know Spike haves to eat that much to maintain his size! Also you know how short-tempered he is!”

“Yeah, yeah! Is no like he can’t do anything so why do we worry?” said the white unicorn.

A large shadow appeared right behind Rarity. The unicorn rolled her eyes.

“Oh come on Spike! Don’t be so sensitive darling!”

The shadow laughed. “Who told you I’m Spike, stupid pony?”

That made the girls turn only to be greeted by a large red dragon with royal blue spikes and wings, and sky-blue belly. The dragon smirked and made a sign, making appear a couple of more dragons surrounding the girls. Fluttershy gasped, she was still terrified from full-grown dragons.

“Nice to meet you my little ponies. I am Lord Igneous from the high aristocracy of Reptilia, the Dragon Kingdom. I came to take Princess Twilight hostage. Is she here?”

Twilight walked to face the dragon, despite her friends’ concern.

“I am Princess Twilight Sparkle! What do you want from me, Lord Igneous? What would you get form kidnapping me? Would you like to use my life to make a bargain with my teacher, Princess Celestia? What exactly, Lord Igneous?”

“Between us, I want to start a war. The Dragon Lord would never go to war against Celestia on his own, so I need her to attack us first. And if I take her hostage her faithful student, she will not hesitate to invade us forcing King Flames to crush you for good. Nothing personal ponies, I’m just a patriot looking for the best for my people.”

Lord Igneous raised his claw ready to take Twilight, but she blocked his claw with her magic, burning his claw. Igneous didn’t mind, soon he would make her surrender and do his will. All he needed was to threat somepony dear to her.

“No, Twilight! MOOOM!” shouted Spike running toward Twilight.

Twilight’s eyes widened.

“No wait! Spike!”

Too late. At Igneous’ sign, three of his henchdragons jumped over Spike immobilizing him as the others prepared their fire breath ready to burn the Princess’ friends.

“Don’t make me kill all your friends Princess. Come with me so I can slave you and turn me into my little toy. Have you been fucked by a dragon before?”

Twilight smirked. “Yeah, I’m very used to that.”

“What?” asked Igneous.

Twilight was only smiling and nodded to Spike, who grinned too.

He started struggling against the dragons holding him, “Let me go! Twilight, no! Don’t do what they say!”

One of the dragons kicked Spike’s ribs. “Don’t move kid! If you continue, we’ll rip off your arms.”

“Don’t spill any dragon blood unnecessarily! This kid was raised by ponies, he didn’t know any better.” warned Lord Igneous. “Kill one of the ponies instead!”

The henchdragons obeyed, grabbing Rarity on their claws.

“Last chance Princess! Come with us voluntarily or watch us kill your friend!”

“No, never! I won’t let you start a war no matter what! And even if I go with you I’ll make sure Princess Celestia knows about your intentions and don’t go to war with you!”

“How Princess? I’ll destroy all witnesses here and now. Your friends would be killed, and your adoptive son would be taken hostage with you as well. With no witnesses Celestia would do exactly what I want!”

At Igneous sign, the dragon holding Rarity crushed her.

“NOOOOOOOO!!” cried everypony.

Lord Igneous and his henchdragons laughed at this. “And she was lucky we killed her instantly. We won’t be as considerate with the rest of you filthy ponies.”

The girls were in shock, and soon he would kill them all. Then he would take Twilight Sparkle as his slave and then the war would come. Yes, a glorious future for his race. But then something happened. The girls were sobbing and crying but slowly the cries began to turn into a hysterical laugh.

Twilight Sparkle and her friend where rolling on the floor laughing so hard that made the dragons exchange confused looks.

“What is so funny?” asked the dragon who killed Rarity opening his claws showing them the red mess. “Don’t you see you I killed your friend?”

“Maybe they lost their minds?” asked one of the dragons.

Finally, the pony who looked like Twilight finished laughing and looked at the red paste that was on the dragon’s claw.

“Hey Gothic! How did that feel?”

The red paste regenerated into a white unicorn with purple mane and red eyes with a smile full of fangs.

“Nothing new darling. It was exactly like pissing Night Terror off.”

Igneous was confused and scared at the same time.

“Night Terror? What do you mean? Who is Night Terror?”

The dragon who supposed to be Spike suddenly stopped struggling and with his jaws ripped off his own arms, regenerating new ones much to the other’s horror. Spike’s eyes turned from green to red as he smiled at them happily.

“I am Night Terror! Nice to meet you!”

Then ‘Pinkie Pie’ ripped off her own head only to regenerate a new one.

“Now do you understand the kind of trouble you ran into?”

Igneous was frozen in fear. “How is this possible?”

Undash flew to the dragon’s ear and whispered.

“Oh, you haven’t heard about the undead? Horrid creatures without the capability to think guided by the dark desire of murder, murder and more murder?”

Flesy Smile grinned to the dragons, flying in circles around them.

“But we do have the ability to think, to plan, etc. You see we are experts in planning how to capture our opponents and torture them to death.”

“Shall we say opponents or victims?” asked Pin-Kill-Die.

“Whatever!”

Panicking, one of the dragons closer to Night Terror tried to rip his belly with his claw and rip off his heart.

Night Terror smiled.

“Oh, take-a-heart! My favorite game!”

Night Terror ripped the other dragon’s heart. The dragon looked at his own organ before he fell dead.

“Hey! Have you died already? Wait, you cannot play this game if you die after the first turn! Oh, whatever!”

Night Terror ate the heart and smiled at the other dragons with blood dripping from his teeth. “You know? This is the first time I try dragon meat. I must say I prefer it than pony flesh!”

The other dragons gasped in horror and jumped over the cannibal dragon. This is something they could not allow something like that to exist. Night Terror let them do as they pleased as all his injuries automatically regenerated.

A lasso wrapped around on one of their claws.

The dragon looked at the earth pony who have trapped him.

“Heya!” greeted Jack the Reaper.

A pony was nothing for the mighty dragon, he raised his claw lifting the poor earth pony, but this was what the monster wanted. She used the additional impulse to get over the dragon and stab it with her knife on the eye.

The dragon roared in pain as she continued to turn his eye into mush.

“Ya’ know parner’? A’ never go for the eyes but dragons are too damn solid and need to hurry before our others selves notice us!”

The other dragons tried to attack the creatures at least to get some time to run but there was no way back. The Undead Knights won’t let them leave.

Midnight used her magic to immobilize them as the other Undeads started to massacre them to the horrified Lord Igneous who tried to run away but he was held by Night Terror.

“No, no, no. You caused this the last you can do is stay to watch the show. How about a snack?”

Igneous felt a horrible pain from his tail, and then Night Terror forced a piece of meat on his mouth as he ate the other piece. Horrified, Igneous wanted to puke but Night Terror forced him to swallow.

“It is rude to reject a snack!” said Night Terror. “Come on! How does your own tail taste?”

Igneous tried to scream and to run but it was too late already. All his henchdragons have been killed by the creatures and now only he remained.

“No wait! I made a mistake! I swear I won’t try anything anymore! Just let me go!”

The undeads grinned.

“Sorry pal, you played your cards and you lost. It is time for you to pay for your stupidity!”

“We are the Undead Knights, we protect Equestria from all evil. Unfortunately for you we are invincible!”

The Undeads laughed at the creature, as Night Terror looked at him with a blank stare and before Igneous could react the undead dragon used his sharp claws to rip his belly off and take all of his organs off.

“Night Terror?” asked Midnight confused.

The dragon ignored her and continued rip all the organs off until Igneous was blessed with the bliss of death.

Night Terror roared, unable to control himself until Midnight sent him a magic blast.

“Night Terror!”

“Huh? Midnight? What happened?”

“That’s what I’m asking. Are you okay? I thought we were going to share!”

“Huh?”

Night Terror looked at his hands covered in blood and then at his friends who were staring at him confused.

“What happened to me?”

In the peaceful town of Ponyville, a young dragon woke up screaming.

“Spike! Spike are you okay?!” asked Twilight entering to his room.

He looked at Twilight and shook his head.

“Twilight…”

“It’s okay Spike! You had a bad dream! That’s it!”

“No Twilight, it wasn’t a dream. It was a warning.”

“A warning?”

“The Undead Knights have returned!!”
