In The Beginning Part 2

So, where we last left off, a rampaging dragon hypnotized by Discord, had just arrived to terrorize the village and all of the pony folk who live in it. When White Knight and the girls, including Twilight, White Knight tells Celestia and Luna to stay put and away from the dragon. But as he was about to engage battle with the dragon, Celestia tells the White Knight that she wants to help him take on the dragon and that she can be of good use to him in battle, but the White Knight refused to let Celestia fight the dragon. After all, like the father figure that he is, he doesn't want the girls to get hurt in any way whatsoever. But Celestia was too persistent, she had kept begging for him to reconsider, she even tried to pull the cutest puppy dog look, hoping that White Knight would change his mind, even Luna joined in with her because she too wanted to take on the dragon. White Knight was in under a lot of pressure, the dragon still destroying property, the girls wanted to partake in the battle, White Knight was sweating like crazy and couldn't focus while he was looking back and forth. And course, the girls were still pleading and begging and then the White Knight snapped;

"NO!" yelled out the White Knight. And right after he yelled out "no" to the girls, they were dead silenced. They were even getting upset as they were putting their heads down in shame, and the White Knight starts telling them the reason why he won't let the girls fight.

"I mean... no, you can't participate in this fight. It's too dangerous."

"We can handle our own, White." said Celestia with confidence.

And the White Knight replies; "That's not it, girls. I know you can handle your own, it's just that... even though I'm not your father... ...I can't afford to lose you both. I would be nothing without you two, after all you're both my pride and joy, you two are what keeps the smile on my face and it's you two that keeps me going. I would be sad if anything were to happen to the both of you."

Having said that, Celestia felt a little bad about asking White Knight to join him in the fight, that sad face started to get the White Knight down, and while the dragon continues to destroy property and scaring off everypony, White Knight comforts Celestia and tells her that she doesn't have to feel bad, wiping the tear off her face, he tells her that it's not her fault that she was pressuring him to help fight the dragon. She wanted to help no doubt about it, but of course though, White Knight is overprotective of the girls and doesn't want them to get into any trouble.

"Now then girls, I need you to just stay put for a second. Taking care of this dragon will be a snap, trust me I've handled such worse things like such and after I'm done, the three of us will do something fun, what do you say?"

"Sounds like a plan!" they both said out loud with excitement. Oh the smiles on their faces were something you would love to see, Celestia and Luna already were thinking of fun activities to do together, and so the girls had decided to stay where they are and wait for White Knight to finish the fight and get back to them. So as the White Knight warms up to take on the dragon, the dragon is still looking for the so-called poacher to fight him, looking high and low for White Knight and right out of nowhere... there he was floating right behind the dragon; "Leave those poor pony folk alone! You want somepony to pick on... try me!" After White Knight's voice reached the dragon's ears, the beast turns around to see who it was that was yelling at it and when the dragon saw who it was, Discord's voice reached out to it; "Be warned, the poacher might pick up a fight, and don't forget... the name he goes by is the White Knight." and so, the dragon starts to growl deeply and angrily when he spotted it's target at long last.

The purple dragon starts to engage the White Knight by shooting it's green flames at him, White Knight was evading every flame that the dragon kept shooting, the dragon blows out his biggest flame at him. White Knight uses his powers to separate the flames in half and when he did so, the dragon got closer to him and attacked him with it's dragon claw. Sending the White Knight flying in the air and crash downward to the ground, the girls gasped loudly when they saw the White Knight get hurt by the dragon and wished they could have helped but couldn't. They were afraid that White Knight was about to lose, even Twilight wishes she could help as well, but all she can do is watch, and at the same time, she tries to observe the dragon's purple scales, green spikes, shooting green flames... she could assume that it might be Spike, but the dragon is too aggressive and cruel. But she had to stick around to keep watch just to make sure, then White Knight gets back up to continue fighting the beast, he was a little injured, but he can still fight the dragon.

"Come on, now. Is that all you got? That can't be all you have, surely, you must have something up your scales, no?"

Then, after the White Knight taunted the dragon, the dragon pulls an evil smile at the White Knight and chuckled evilly, realizing that the beast might actually have something in store for the White Knight. So the purple dragon opens it's mouth wide open and starts to conjure up it's own green energy beam, White Knight was a little surprised to see the dragon create a beam of energy, this was clear to White Knight that the dragon he's facing is far from ordinary.

"So, it seems like I'm dealing with a Puff the magic dragon... ...great, just great." Says the White Knight in a nervous tone.

After his slur of random words, the dragon had completed his beam and shoots it at White Knight. The beam was coming at him at great speed, White Knight couldn't get out of the way before it could even arrive, it was too fast for him and so he holds out his left hoof to block it. Unfortunately for White Knight, the beam was too powerful for him to hold it with one hoof, so he holds out his right hoof so he can use both hoofs to successfully block and push away the beam. However, it still wasn't enough for him and was blown away by the great force of the dragon's energy beam. Celestia and Luna were still very much worried that White Knight might lose the fight, so they try go in to help him, but White Knight yells at them to stay right back where they were. Then there was Twilight Sparkle who was amazed at the Dragon's abilities, so she went to get a closer look. And right up in the sky... was Discord himself relaxing on a sofa in the air, eating popcorn, drinking refreshments and enjoying the showdown between the Dragon and White Knight.

"Ah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Oh, this is just too exciting to watch, if only stuff like this were to happen, then I wouldn't mind watching the chaos than have to cause it myself. Now this is quality entertainment! Oh, how I wish it would never end... ...hello what's this?"

While the fight was going on, Discord spots Celestia and Luna standing on the hill, watching the White Knight losing to the Dragon, looking at their faces; the nervousness, the sorrow, the thoughts of their precious White Knight losing... and while the fight was still going on, Discord would want to see how it all ends. But instead... he came up with another devious plan.

"Hmm... It would appear that I have yet another plan. If the White Knight were to survive this fight... which he won't, He'll meet up with his little friends, but of course the only thing he'll be meeting up with... is nothing. Absolutely nothing. Well, better go meet up with them."

And so, Discord heads on over to the hill to meet with Celestia and Luna, he flashed from his spot to theirs in an instant, the girls were still discussing on rather they should help White Knight or not, after all they do not enjoy seeing him like this. "Look, no matter what he says, we have to help him, my sister." Luna said, then Celestia replied to Luna with; "We can't do that, you heard what he said... we are not to leave this spot until the fight is over. I trust that he will win this fight."

"You know your little sister is right, my dear. What good can come from obeying your superiors? Sometimes, you just need to rebel, just this once. And plus you have a real good reason to, White Knight doesn't stand a chance... there are some battles that he can't win alone." Said Discord.

"Who are you... or.. what are you?" replied Celestia with a confused and shocked look on her face after she turned around and looked and what was behind her and Luna. They even gasped loudly because of what they're seeing right before their eyes.

"Celestia, my sister. What pray tell is that?"

"Who am I you ask? Why, I happen to be the master of chaos and disharmony, the being that brings distraught and despair to the world, I am Discord. And you two... ...are going to be my hostages."

After introducing himself to the girls, he then starts to snap his fingers to teleport the girls to someplace far away from where they're standing. And then, Discord takes another good look at the fight, just to see who is winning and who is losing, afterwards he turns around and wishes White Knight good luck on the fight and snaps his fingers to teleport himself out of there.

Now back to the fight, it seemed like the fight is almost at an end, White Knight was almost down for the count, the Dragon had him where he had wanted him, White Knight tried to get back up and resume fighting, but after taking so many licks from the dragon... White Knight just seems to be losing his fighting spirit. During the fight though, White Knight had been observing every tactic the dragon had been displaying, the dragon is indeed far from ordinary as the White Knight said before, it was clear that White need to somehow befriend this dragon. He moves his head to the right to get a good look on the dragon, hoping to find an opening somewhere, and while he's doing that, the dragon comes closer and closer to White Knight. As the dragon got this close to White Knight, while it was about to pick him up with it's hand, White Knight makes a flash step from where he was lying... to the dragon's torso. White Knight places his right hoof on it's torso and starts performing some kind of a lock spell, the dragon tried to shake it off, but it was too late for it to make another move.

Next thing you know, White Knight managed to lock the dragon's true form and somehow revert the dragon into it's baby state. Not only that, White Knight noticed that the dragon was under a hypnosis spell as well, so he used a counter hypnosis to get rid of the trance. After that, the dragon managed to wake up, when he got up he was dazed and confused. his eyes were spinning around and felt like he was sick, he didn't know where he was, then the White Knight tells the dragon that he was in a trance and was terrorizing the village and fighting White Knight.

The White Knight opens up with; "You know, I've never seen a dragon who can fight like you can. Heck, I didn't think a dragon like you can even produce an energy beam and shoot it out with ease. Might I ask, what kind of a dragon are you?"

"Well if you must know... I happen to be a dragon prince. The things you've seen me do during our battle... well, let's just say, I'm quite gifted. I have many talents. But like everything, my talents are limited." replied the young dragon prince.

"A dragon prince, ha! You don't say? That's pretty impressive there, friend." Said the White Knight.

Yes, he was quite impressed and a little excited to hear that the dragon is a prince and that he has special talents. So White Knight and the dragon prince were starting to get acquainted with one another, and while they were doing that, White Knight asks the dragon prince to hop on his back so they can fly back to the spot where Celestia and Luna were standing. And as they were flying back to the spot, Twilight Sparkle was standing there, she had a very surprised face, her jaw had already dropped, a little twitch on her left eye and she was doing a little bit of stammering. She couldn't believe what she had saw and what she had heard...

"I... I- I can't believe it... no, it can't be him... although it did kinda looked like him. His face, his eyes, his green spikes that stick up on his head... even his voice sounds the same! I don't want to believe it, but if that dragon is definitely Spike, then I have one question to ask... ...How was it that he was able to exist in the past, if he's currently living with me in the present time?! This doesn't make any sense!!!"
