(Strong Male Narrator)

Avalar... birth place of the dragon raise. For countless generations, we lived in peace and harmony to our world among ourselves. Worshipped by one dragon who we called him 'The Champion', ruler of Avalar... and protector of our raise.

Until... it all changes when the dawn of darkness and flames has come to our very own eyes by the one rogue dragon who we feared most of all, 'The Dark Master'. The Dark Master begun his invasion with a command of his demon creatures, like an evil flood wash away all that stands in it's way. Our raise have their best to fight as one, but the enemies are far too many for us to defeat now. The demons leaves no survivors... only destructions and no mercy.

Just we believed when hope seemed lost, the Champion has come and slain the thousand army of demons by the power of the four elements. And now, the true battle between the Champion and the Dark Master has collided like we've never seen before. But then, the Champion knew the Dark Master could never be stopped, but he has only one way to end this war is to cast the ultimate power of the ancestors. On that moment on, the Dark Master is destroyed, and sending his army of demons to Tartarus where they belong.

The Champion have saved Avalar, but in the end... it cost his life when he made the ultimate sacrifice. We honor the memory of our fallen dragons and the Champion. For many years later, the nightmare is never ceased when the new threat has come. In the Dark Master's absence, he send out his most ruthless generals, led by his first born named... Scorch.

One by one, every last dragons have dared to challenged him, but none of them made it back alive. General Scorch's goal is to seek out the next Champion to do such beyond worst than death, we knew we cannot let that happen. The only best and last hope is to leave Avalar and sending them all safely to world we've never seen... or all of our raise... will be extinguish.

(Narrating End)

It all started in the dark cloudy day, Avalar becomes a dead wasteland full of fires and ashes, no plants and flowers be bloomed or any critters big and small has ever coming back. At the sky, there was an adult orange scale male dragon named Magma with red eyes, rose red spikes and chest, and horn like a bull. He flies in full speed while holding that appears to be a purple egg in his grasp. But out of nowhere, an arrow almost hitting him on the right side. The male dragon looked back none stopping to see what's behind him. There are three mandrill monkeys, riding a giant bat creatures to chase after the dragon while continuing shooting arrow.

The male dragon keep on dodging the multiple arrows. Until suddenly, one arrow have penetrated his lower back in pain. He's prepared to crash, but still holding open his wings to fall slow and cover the purple egg to protect it. As soon as he crash landed on the ground, Magma struggles to getting back up on his feet, but the enemies has got there much quicker while three Mandrills jumped out their bat creatures. "Hehehe, there's nowhere to run or fly away from us dragon." One mandrill said while the other twos laughing at Magma when the orange dragon growling at them. "Now handover that egg or say hello to my axe on your face."

"How about you say hello to my foot in your face!" A female voice shouted, figuring out where the source coming from. Until then, one mandrill quickly got kicked in the right cheek and get knocked the tooth out. What's in front of them was a young red dragoness with yellow spikes and chest, orange eyes, flapping ear, and a fire shape tip of her tail. "Okay, which one of you banana brains is next?"

"Oh you're gonna regret this brat!" Second mandrill said in anger while they starts to charge at her. But unexpectedly, a lightning zapped two mandrills. As soon as it's done, they collapse at the exact same time. But it wasn't just an actual lightning, it was another young yellow dragon with light blue spikes and chest, violet eyes, lightning shape tip of his tail and horn.

"Hey, I could've take them both down Zapp." She said in not amused while a young yellow dragon land on the ground.

"Sorry Flare, we both know I wasn't exactly the patient type for the lightning dragon like myself." Zapp said when Flare rolled her eyes, until they are now focused on Magma behind them.

"Magma you're hurt, please let us help you up." Flare said in worry while getting him back up on his feet and removing a broken arrow off his lower back.

"No need for worry Flare, but we must get to the lair quickly before more of them will come." Magma when they all take flight to the air. However, a young dragoness didn't notice Magma carried a purple egg on his hand.

"Wait, is that an egg, then what about the rest of them?" Flare asked.

"The eggs... were smashed." Magma regrettably answered to them, causing them gasp to hear a terrible news. "I was supposed to save them all, but the enemies got there first before me. And now, this is the one left that survived."

"What are we going to do, while more of them are ahead of us?" Zapp asked.

"I know what we all must do once we get back to the lair, let's go." Magma said.

....

Seven minutes later at the largest hidden cave, there are two more young dragons guarding outside to make sure if any friend or foe is approaches. The first was a young buff moss green dragon with orange spikes and chest, horn like a mountain goat, and a mace rock tip of tail. And the second was a young lightest blue dragoness with white spikes and chest, short smooth horn, and snowflake shape tip of tail. "Any sign of them Stone?" She asked.

"No Frost, it is too cloudy and foggy to see anything ahead." Stone answered, until he spotted something in the sky. In their eyes, they now see three dragons they recognize, coming down to approaches to the ground. As soon as they're on the ground, Frost and Stone ran towards to regroup with them. "Magma, Flare, and Zapp, it is good to see you all made it back in one piece."

"Like wise, but our time is at the essence, we must head inside now." Magma said while everyone is attempts to go inside the lair with a speed rush.

"What is going on?" Frost asked while she and Stone approaches to them.

"More enemies are on their way, it won't be long for them get here. But they're not alone, he is coming." Zapp said when they all fear to know who is coming for them.

"... Scorch." Stone said to dare say that name. "If that's true, then we have to be prepared to the fight."

"No, we cannot fight." Magma denied which makes four young dragons confused once they've made it out the backside where there are stones shape like a catacomb with ancient simples on that appears to the gateway. "So many dragons have made their sacrifice for our home world, I will not put you all at high risk, but there is only one option that must be done." Magma pulling an old scroll out and then opening it. "I found the realm it is well hidden... Equestria, once I cast the gate portal to open, you all will travel there safely."

"Wait, leaving Avalar?! But Magma, this is our home and we have to fight for it!" Flare said to rejected the idea of abandoning their own home world they were born.

"It is the only way. if you chose to remain here, then our raise... are truly finished." Magma said, giving them a thought of two choices until they now understand and nodded to the end. The adult dragon takes his stand in front of the gateway and began to cast an ancient draconic language he learned from the scroll. "GRAHU.... ZIMN... FEHRAH... MAKROM!" The gateway's simples has been glow by the ancient language and the portal to Equestria is opened, but for how long will it last before it closes. "The portal can only hold long enough, it is for your chance to get through."

"What about you, aren't you gonna come with us." Flare asked, but she never expected the look on the adult dragon's face.

"No... I will remain here and then I'll destroy the gateway once you all get through." Magma said to regret telling four young dragons what he'll do.

"But we can't leave you alone, it's too risky. Without you, I-." Flare said in worry for her only mentor, until Magma had stopped her words when he placed his hands on her shoulders.

"I understand it is a difficult decision, but I know you and the others will continue your journey together. I have taught you all everything I know, and you all will walk each other a different path... without me." Magma said when he and look each other's eyes. And then, he pass the purple egg to her arms and a scroll. "Promise me you will protect this egg and raised it well. It is now your time to lead the others, Flare." They each other's foreheads for their final moments to come while the others are very sad to know they'll have to leave their beloved mentor behind.

*BOOM*

The explosions coming from behind them that the lair's been attacked by the hundreds of mandrills in bat creatures in the sky. Magma growled at them and spew out three fire balls. "Get in to the portal, I'll hold them off as long as I can, go now!" Magma said while he takes his battle stands, looking behind to see his young dragon students Flare, Frost, Zapp, and Stone for one last time. "May our ancestors look after you, may them look after us all." He prayed for the young dragons since they made it through, turning around to be ready to fight for them... and ready to die for them.

Mandrills dropped down to the ground, surrounded to prepare to attack the adult dragon. But it never matters to him if he's outnumbered, he will fight till the very end. Two mandrills made their first moves by jumping towards the adult dragon, Magma simply quicked to grabs their faces and slam their heads to the ground really hard. Another mandrill attack from the back, but never expected when a dragon's tail smacked him. It is now Magma's turn to made his moves by charging at them throw out punches and uppercuts. He knew there were too many of mandrills to take down, but more are coming. Until lastly, Magma unleashed his magma lava on the ground to risen the line fire to stop mandrills tracks.

"I still have plenty more firepower to come, if you dare to step forward." Magma said in exhaustion. But suddenly, seeing the smirks on their faces and clear a path. He knew it could only mean one thing when he growled a little. The sound of foot steps coming from the dark cave. What appeared out of the shadow, was a dark gray adult dragon in chest scratched armor with many horns and the eye of dragon simple on shoulder armor. Red eyes like a terrifying fire and a tail tip of a scorpion stinger. "General Scorch." Magma said his name in front of him when an evil dragon walk through the fire.

"So... you must be the Avalar's greatest warrior. Such a one dragon army stands against many, how delicious it is." General Scorch said with a scary tone. "If you wish your life to be spared, then tell me, where is the egg and the other dragons?"

"I'd would rather die than telling you." Magma said to refuse to tell the evil dragon where the egg is, but general Scorch makes a smile on his face and chuckles.

"Hmhmhm it pleases me to hear." Scorch said, taking his battle stands to wait for Magma's first move. Magma began to charge at him in full speed, throwing his punches on Scorch's face.

Two other mandrills wanted to join in to help general Scorch, but the big mandrill stopped them. "Stay where you are, let our general have his fun." He said when he believed Scorch will win.

However, an evil dragon grabbed both Magma's wrist and moving them down. Magma tries to struggle to break free his wrist, but Scorch is too strong to let go. The worst part, his tail's stinger strike to the orange dragon's left peck, screaming in agony. And lastly, Scorch releases his dark violet fire on Magma's chest when the stinger is removed and letting him collapse to the ground. "You and all the other dragons have made a grave mistake to challenge me."

He reaches his hand to grabbed Magma's horn and break it to add as a trophy with the rest of the horns he collected in shoulder armor. General Scorch noticed the portal is still there from the very beginning, he knew that the purple and the young dragons have entered it. "Its a small world after all. Commander, you and your troopers will go into the portal, kill the younglings, and fetch me the egg." Scorch commanded the big mandrill.

"As your command my lord. Troopers, to the portal!" The commander shouted to the mandrills while they followed the big one and entered the portal to Equestria, along with bat creatures they'd ride on.

Magma heavily opened his eyes when he witnessed to see many mandrills going in the portal. He knew he wouldn't let that happen when he's struggle to lift himself up and unleashed his one last fireball at the stone gate. The explosion blew out a few mandrills away and blinded general Scorch's eyes. "No..." Scorch said when the portal... has disappeared.

"You're too late Scorch, the unborn champion hatchling is now far from your evil grasp. Your father, the dark master is forever stay dead." Magma said when he breathed heavily, but Scorch immediately blasted him again to make sure he's dead. Magma has drew his last breath on this final days, his great sacrifice will not be forgotten to the young dragons who saved them both.

....

Somewhere in the dark place. "You failed to retrieved the egg." The demonic voice spoke to general Scorch when he's kneel down. What talking to Scorch is a dark firing red eyeball who is known... as the Dark Master himself.

"Worry not my lord, we will hunt them down and retrieve the new champion no matter which realm they are." General Scorch said to promise his formless father that he'll never rest until he does.

"Good, once I am resurrected in new form body, I... will rain surpreme." The Dark Master said in his rule, laughing at the end.

....

(Elsewhere in Equestria)

In the middle of forest, the portal from the gateway has opened in the air, scaring the forest animals away from it. Four young dragons burst out of it and landed terribly on the ground. As soon as they got up on their feet, they're eyes widened to witness the world they've never seen, but it is like similar as Avalar before. "So... this is Equestria." Flare first to say.

"Yeah, I've never thought I'd see the gorgeous sky ever again, and the nature is alive too." Frost said, almost letting out her tear.

"This is where we will safe in this world." Stone said while looking around while he nodded, but sad when they all know their mentor gone forever.

"So... what happens now, it's not like we just stand there and mourn." Zapp said when the others believes that the yellow young dragon has a point, they cannot stay there for much longer because they never know a threat is coming to them, until now.

The mandrills with bat creatures bursts out the portal one at a time and landed on the ground in foot. Four young dragons gasp in shock to see the enemies, believing they've been followed while taking their battle stands together. The big mandrill commander spotted the young dragons and seeing Flare holding the purple egg in her arms. "There's that egg, attack!" The commander shouted by ordering the mandrills to get them while charging.

But suddenly, Stone unleashed his earth breath to make the rock spikes to stop their tracks. "If you all want the egg, then you're gonna get through us!" Stone said while he, Frost, and Zapp defending Flare with an egg. "Flare, get the egg out of here while we're holding them off as long as we can!"

"What, I can't leave you guys, not now or ever!" Flare said to refuse to leave them.

"Don't worry about us we'll be alright, just go!" Frost said while she unleashed her ice breath to freeze two mandrills.

Flare hate to regret to leave them when they fight while she take flight in the air and fly away from the fight. But suddenly, three mandrills in bat creatures chasing after her, until Zapp saw and came to her rescue. "Oh no you don't!" He said while releases his lightning breath at the enemies and finally took them down. Now, Zapp going to join with Stone and Frost in the battle against many mandrills with best they can.

....

Meanwhile, Flare landed to the ground with the rest of the trees and hide to make sure she didn't follow. As soon as she looked around, no mandrills in bat creatures has come, but she feels regret to leave them behind just like they leave Magma. "Why am I even doing, I can't let Zapp, Stone, and Frost battle them, I need to go back." she planned to back, but she realized that going there means to put the purple egg in danger. However, the river had caught her attention, going on different direction to the west. Flare had the idea to save the egg is by sending it away. She sees the log branch and break a big piece to use as a float for the egg.

Lastly, she lay it down gently in that floating log piece and covered it with some big leafs. "I'm very sorry for this little one, but it's the only way. One day, I will find you no matter where you go." Flare said while rubbing the egg and then... she pushed softly the log piece to let the river taking the egg. This is a tough choices, but she knew it must be done in order to protect it. She's flying away to go back the others to help.

And now, the purple egg riding on the log piece down to the river nice and slow. Until, the water starting to get rough, causing the log going faster and bumping those rocks left to right. But suddenly, the water flipped the log to get the egg jumped out and landed in the water. It's a good thing the egg can float without a log to hold, but it was gobbled up by a big catfish as food. But the big catfish realized the egg is too hard as a rock, so it spits out and let it go while swam away.

Couple of hours later, the egg still flows in the river for far longer. Every critters and animals see it pass by, wondering where did that come from, but never matters. The water fall pulled the egg to let it fall down all the way. However, it was saved by an bald eagle when it swiped to grab an egg. Flying to the west across the canyons and the seas with much quicker in no time.

A few minutes later, the bald eagle have arrived to the tall mountain where it has its nest to place the purple egg. But the bald eagle accidentally dropped the egg by missed the nest and falling down. Somehow it was save landed by a tree when it rolled down to the river. Now it streamed gently to the kingdom Canterlot, a place where everypony live in peace. No pony ever noticed the purple egg was flowing in the river, except mostly somepony did see it. The egg entered tunnel that leads inside the castle yard.

Finally, the egg had stopped its track when it land in the grass. The sound of hoof steps coming approach it, and it was a white alicorn princess Celestia herself. "Oh my, what have we here?" She said when she saw the purple egg over there and already noticed that it's the dragon. Princess Celestia wondering how did that magnificent got here all the way, but it doesn't matter to her when she decided to take care of it in her leg. Princess Celestia getting closer to it, and said. "If you can hear me in there, you are quite very special little one, very special indeed."

And this is how it all began. Who knows what future is in store for it when the sun princess has taken care of this magnificent unborn hatchling dragon. But this is the beginning of The Tales Of Spike.

To Be Continued...
