The Last Human

I woke up at about 6 in the morning when I heard slamming at my door and screaming.

“SEAN! OPEN UP! OPEN UP!” that sounded like Spike so I got up and opened the door. Sure enough Spike was there looking really scared, his tail looked like it was scorched and his pupils were small.

“What do you want Spike?”

“It’s Twilight, she’s gone crazy!”

“Isn’t she always somewhat crazy?”

“Now is not the time for jokes she may be right behind me!”

Suddenly there was a voice from down the tower. “Oh Spikey come out, come out.”

Then she rounded the spiral to where I could see her. She was a bit scary looking. She was pressed a bit to the ground and crawling like a predator. Her fangs were bared and she was doing this weird sinister smile thing.
Spike darted behind my leg. “There she is close the door.”

I was a bit skeptical until she shot a fireball at us. I slammed the door before it scorched us and locked it.

“Ok, note to self, dragonponies can breathe fire.”

Then the lock on the door got covered in a purple aura and undid itself and the door slammed open. “and apparently unicorn dragonponies can use magic.”

Before she could shoot another fireball I grabbed her and drained all her magic until she collapsed. I picked her up and carried her to one of my walls and rested her on it. Then I turned to Spike.

“Ok Spike what is going on here?”

“Well I was asleep when suddenly Twilight started to growl. I opened my eyes she was standing over me looking hungry. Then she tried to bite me so I made a run for your room while I was running she kept shooting fireballs at me.”
“Interesting, guard Twilight if she wakes up call Progenitus over.”

I headed off to Celestia’s room. “Well I guess Celestia has gone crazy too.” I say that because when I got to the staircase that leads to her room is saw fire coming from higher up it.

As I was going up the staircase I saw one unconscious guard he looked like he had been lit on fire. When I got to Celestia’s room the door had a guard shaped hole in it and there was fire inside the room. As I opened the door I saw that dragon Celestia was sitting on a pile of royal jewels that she kept in her room. When she saw me she hissed and began to speak.

“What are you doing here human?” she hissed.

“I am here to take you down.”

Celestia began to laugh. “You think you can stop me?” Celestia then lunged at me she managed to knock me onto the ground. She tried to bite me but I kicked her off. When she tried to use magic to throw her bed at me I ducked under it, it crashed into the wall, geez I thought Celestia was mean last month when it was the 994th anniversary of Luna’s banishment last year.

I then tackled her. I put a hand on her head and began to drain her magic similar to Twilight until she lost consciousness

I carried Celestia to my room and dropped her off I then went out to catch the last two dragonponies.

So I finally rounded up DragonShiny and DragonCadence. Once they were all in my room Spike and I began preparations for when they woke up.

“Ok Spike first I need you to get me chains and from the dungeon.” I headed to my closet where I found some steel bars I had stored in case I needed steel you never know, good time to use them.

Turning my hand into a blade I cut one of the bars into four smaller pieces. I then bent the bars into small rings. I walked over to the dragonponies and placed one ring on each of their horns. I then fashioned four muzzles out of the steel. I then placed them on our scaled friends.

When Spike finally came back he was dragging four chains with him. My guards then followed carrying four a piece.
“Perfect thanks guys.” I nodded towards all of them.

One of my guards looked at the four ponies against my wall. “Sir what is going on here?” I explained the entire thing to them. Luckily they offered to help me with these guys. Then Spike spoke up.

“ Um Sean.”

“Yeah?”

“What’s up with the muzzles and rings?”

“Oh you see the rings keep them from using magic. The way it works is magic flows similar to blood in the horn. It is similar to how if you put a rubber band on your finger it starts to go cold and change color. Same for horns if you put pressure between the base and tip it cuts off the magic flow. And as for the muzzles they keep their mouths shut, and if you freeze the steel it will keep their faces too cold to breathe any sort of fire.”

All three of them were looking at me in suprise. “How do you know all of that sir?”

“Simple I am really old and smart.”

“Ugh come one Spike! We need to find a cure!”

“I’m looking as fast as I can! Jeez moody!"

“What’d you say!?”

“Nothing.”

Purple brat. Ok well Spike and I are currently in the archives looking for some form of cure for the dragonponies. I will admit I am a bit grumpy. But that is only because I barely get any sleep since I have to every few hours freeze the muzzles with my frost breathe.

“Bolas! I hate this!” I put my face in my hand. I noticed that my hand was starting to change to resemble my dragon hand. This happens whenever I get really angry or upset I start to turn into a dragon. So I got up and paced for a bit.
Seriously I hate this so much! We have gone through 98% of the books in this archive and NOTHING!

“Spike I’ll be back in a minute. I need to go freeze the muzzles.” Spike just grunted in response.

I opened the door to the dungeon. We are currently keeping them there because the walls are fireproof. My guards are posted outside the door to the cell they are in. the dungeons are pretty dank and depressing but you know whatever.
I nodded to my guards and opened the door. I walked up to the four of them. I kept them under control by freezing the muzzles and then draining all the magic so they are too worn out to fight. I followed those steps then headed back to the archives.

As I walked in I heard Spike call my name.

“What is it Spike?”

“I found it!”

“Really! Let me see.”

Spike handed the book he was looking at to me. It was brown and made of leather and pretty thick. I looked at the cover it was titled Cures to Curses, Enchantments, and Spell Backfires. How did we not notice this one? It is even made by the author of the book that spell came from.

He directed me to page 149. I flipped to that page and saw it. On the page there was the title of the spell apparently it is known as the “form of the dragon” fitting. I skimmed till I found the section cure. It said this.

In case of spell backfire all non-dragon beings in the room will become mutated to the point of being half dragon. This effect will cause the afflicted to become aggressive and cruel. The only way to reverse this is to use the ashes of the Scale Rose. The ashes must come from dragon fire alone.

“This is perfect! Good work Spike!”

“Thanks. Sean I have one question.”

“Yeah?”

“It says in the book all non-dragon beings will become part dragon. Why are you not affected?”

“Simple I am part dragon.”

“Really?”

“Yep it is pretty awesome. OK now where can we find this Scale Rose?” I flipped through some of the pages until I found a map. It had a map of Equestria and the surrounding territories. “Aw come on!”

Spike jumped up, “What is it?”

“The flower is in griffin territory.”

“So? I thought we had a truce with them.”

“Legally we do but they do not like ponies in there without an invitation and especially me even with an invitation.”
