What if Emziko was Canon?

It was now time for every pony to head back to Ponyville who came from Ponyville. The train ride was anything but quiet.

"So, when you noticed my color, you knew what kind of dragon I was already." Spike said.

"Not exactly. Color is one thing; your personality is another thing. Every dragon is different. Even me. Just because you've got some super special powers, doesn't really mean anything. Though it does make you important to dragon culture." Emziko said. "Besides, if I was interested in you for your power, then that wouldn't really be fair to you."

"That's a good point; well made..." Spike stated. Even he had to admit, Emziko seemed to not be propping him up on a pedestal.

"I may know a lot of dragon culture from reading, but I grew up outside of that influence. Same as you. Or did you forget about the village that got raided by Queen Chrysalis?" Emziko asked.

"Been meaning to ask, do you know the name of the village you came from?" Twilight asked.

"While I most certainly do, the village burnt to the ground three years ago just before I left. It was one of those wildfires that did it." Emziko said.

"You did mention that the village suffered from wildfires a lot." Rainbow Dash said.

"Yeah. The village didn't really have an assigned weather factory, and the cloud cover was practically non-existent. Did not help the village was separated from most of Equestria by a desert. It wasn't even past the border that leads to Kludgetown, it was just cut off from most of Equestria because of that desert." Emziko said. "The closest town to the village was Kludgetown believe it or not. That's where I was when Chrysalis did her whole 'kidnap the entire village' thing."

"Speaking of, Twilight is there any chance the ponies that Chrysalis drained can be saved?" Spike asked.

"Celestia's currently researching that, but so far, it doesn't look possible. Even if we could save them, we'd have to find them, and Faust knows how long that would take." Twilight said.

"Well, I think that if we can't save them, they'll be able to rest in peace now knowing the one responsible has been brought to justice." Emziko said. "Still, don't think you're getting rid of me any time soon."

"Well, it's nice to have you around for several reasons." Spike said.

"Charmer~" Emziko leaned forward. "I look forward to seeing you a lot~"

"Honestly, same here." Spike said, thought he seemed a little oblivious to Emziko's advancements.

Wow, he really doesn't get romance does he? Oh but he'll learn. Boy how he'll learn~ Emziko thought to herself.

Rarity was just listening in on the entire exchange, not saying a word. That dragon certainly does not stop for a second. The fact that she's paying so much attention to Spike is one thing, but the fact that she's flirting with him is another. I'll have to try and step up my game if I'm to stop Spike from ending up with her. She thought to herself.

"By the way Rarity, you do not wear jealousy well; just saying." Emziko said offhandly.

That made Rarity tumble out of her seat, a heavy blush on her face. "Wow, Emziko is good." Rainbow Dash said as the other main six ponies giggled at Rarity's little tumble.

Some time later, the group arrived at Ponyville, and then went to Golden Oaks Library.

"So, is there anything about Purple Dragons you can tell us, Emziko? Like, maybe some other powers? Or even their history?" Twilight said.

"The powerset of Puprle Dragons is so vast, it'd take an entire day just to get through the entire list. History however, is going to be a little simplier to go over. Because then I can tell you about the three versions of Spyro." Emziko said.

"Err, how can you have three versions of the same purple dragon?" Rainbow Dash asked.

"Beats me. Somehow, someway, through some kind of magic means, Spyro was reincarnated three seperate times, in three seperate eras. No dragon historian; or any historian for that matter; has ever been able to figure out how it happened like that." Emziko said.

"Must make Spyro pretty special then." Fluttershy said.

"You don't know the half of it. The first incarnation of Spyro grew up around dragons, yet from a young age, he had to deal with several threats. There was this gnorc army, there was this tiny wizard dude who refused to die for some reason, there was this dragon hating sorcerer...I could go on, but you get the idea." Emziko said.

"That's a lot of bad guys to fight where your young..." Rainbow Dash almost winced.

"The second incarnation of Spyro was very different. That was when the only time a purple dragon went evil, causing the need for a brand-new purple dragon to be born so the evil one could be defeated. The evil one's name was Malafor." Emziko said.

"You mentioned that Malafor is the reason a new system was put in place so a second evil Purple Dragon doesn't show up." Spike said.

"Yeah, that's thanks to the third incarnation of Spyro. Which ties into the second. See, Malafor actually managed to cause the entire planet; this one we live on; to break apart. It's only because the second interation of Spyro sacrificed his life to restore the planet that it allowed the planet to still be here." Emziko said. "Not much is known about the third integration of Spyro beyond the new system to prevent a second evil Purple Dragon. Because just as he set up that system, he seemingly vanished into thin air. No historian has ever been able to see where he went after that."

"That's kind of strange..." Twilight said. "The version of Spryo that vanished that is, not the planet breaking apart thing."

"Speaking of the second interation of Spyro though, there's a lot of similarities between that Spyro and Spike here. Spike was adopted by Pony parents. That version of Spyro was adopted by a family of Dragonflies." Emziko said.

"Let's just hope there's no evil purple dragon wondering around then..." Fluttershy said.

"For once, I'm with Fluttershy on this one: The thought that the planet could get destroyed by a Purple Dragon is terrifying..." Rainbow Dash said.

Meanwhile, a lone figure was looking over Ponyville. This figure bared a striking resemblance to a Raccon, but had some dog traits to it. This being was known as a Tanuki. "There can be no doubt in my mind..." The Tanuki said, voice clearly stating they are male. "This is the only Purple Dragon that exists in the world. Which means, for the sake of the ponies, he must be destroyed." The Tanuki said, and then began to walk off the hill.

Elsewhere, above the skies of Ponyville, a strange portal opened up, and out flew two figures. Both looked purple, though one was more magenta then purple. No one saw them, let alone more clearly than that. And the portal closed behind them.
