XxXxXxXxXXxXXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxChapter 1: The new dragon
In the darkness of the night, a long, thin figure crept through the bushes. "The Elements, they are close, I can feel them! " he thought The thing stood still on a hill, staring at a small town. "There they are. Finally I found them." he said with sharp teeth forming a smile wich was visible in the moonlight.
At the library of Ponyville, Spike was, like usual, cleaning up Twilight's books while she was reading one of those. Time passed but they both stoped when the little dragon found a book with a dragon on his cover, Spike oppened his mouth "Twilight?" asked the dragon to her "big sis".
"Yes Spike?"Twilight said in response.
"t's been three days after since I met those teenagers dragons..." he continued.
"And?"the purple unicorn asked again .
"Do you think they're all like that? I mean, are we, dragons, all jerks, cruels and stupids?"
"Of course not" said the unicorn," you for example, you're the cutest and kindest dragon it can exist."
"Because I grew up with ponies! I want to know more about my species!" Spke said with authority.
"Please, stop asking yourself this kind of things." Celestia's student begged putting her hoof on his forehead.
"Sorry Twilight, I just wish that a dragon comes and lives here, in Ponyville..."
After saying that,suddenly, the door opened , It was Pinkie Pie. She screamed:
"Twilight! You have to come!There's a dragon who wants to live here in Ponyville!!"
"Wow! I just wish I had a muffin"the dragon said , hoping that his second wish comes true.
"Oh Spike!" Called out the earth pony," If you're hungry, I've got a muffin for you!" She affirm by pulling out the cake from nowhere.
The baby took the cake and eat it in one bite, what a Lucky Day!
"I just wish I had a ton of gems!!" He yelled.
He wait for twenty seconds and sighed a: " Oooow...". Twilight use her magic to transport Spike on her back.
"We don't have time for making fun, Spike. We must meet this newcomer."
On the main square of the city, there was almost all of the ponies even Rainbow Dash was here to stare somepony, this somepony was a tall dragon with green scales, he had a huge light green crest adorning his head, at the sides of the crest : two horns with strange forms. His eyes were orange with light green bushy eyebrows, then came a long beak with the same color of its scales, two fangs came out of each corners of his mouth. Its wings were folded in half, but if they were extended it would probably giant. And for finish, his body was long and thin. If you still don't see how it looks like, well you can see it here He looked a bit threatening but somehow it gave off a protective aura, the mair, who was among the ponies, thought it will be good if he was among them ... it could protect the city or even be a touristic attraction, you know, for money.
The dragon opened his muzzle, everypony start to listen.
"Where can I meet the mayor?" the dragon asked with a grave voice.
"It's me, I'm the mair here" a brown pony with gray mane answered . "What can I do for you?"
"Oh, I just want to live here in Ponyville." the dragon said quietly.
The mayor said to the newcomer that it wasn't a big deal, all he has to do is promise not to hurt anyone in town and to protect the town when a dangerous creature attacks, like Discord, Cerberus, this kind of stuff, as it is a very powerful creature, the dragon promised all that and thanked the pony to allow it to remain. This is where Twilight and company came and called to the dragon. This one turned to face her and had an air interrested "So there's the Elements... Interresting... " He thought.
"Hey!" The unicorn screamed at Rainbow style, "what's your name?"
"Didn't I present myself? I'm sorry, my name is Kingodonamsumka, what's yours?"
An angel passed, all pony was trying to repeat the dragon's weird name.
"Kingadoniku- what now??" Pinkie tried to repeat.
"But people call me "King", just call me like that."King Explained .
"Why you wanted to come live in this town?" asked again the purple mare.
"Well, I just wanted to change the scenery, and I couldn't take it anymore about living with stupids and jerks dragons." Growled the new dragon.
"Really?"
"Of course! The youngs from today're all IMBECILES!!! I'm sure if you ask them about Dragon History, they will respond : "I don't care!"." Started to scream the green dragon, "and I'm sure I AM the only dragon who know all about our species."
"Seriously?!?" Asked shouting Spike.
"YEAH!... Now, can you please tell me your name?"
"I'm Twilight Sparkle."
"Why do you ask me all these questions?"
"I don't know, I just think it was weird that a dragon who emigrate decide to live here."the unicorn eplained .
"I told you, Twilight Sparkle, I just want to change the scenery. Now if you excuse me, I'll get better acquainted with the others." Conclued the newcomer.
After saying that, King go meet the ponies, Pinkie was the first to jump front of him for sing her Welcome song . What makes the dragon laught because it was funny. And he continue to present himself with the other.
Two hours passed, Spike finished his tasks at the library and it was break time now! He asked to her "big sis" where the new dragon's going to lives, she answered that he'll lives near Fluttershy's house and asked to the assistant why he want to go meet him. The kid said in response that he can finally have a chance to learn about dragons, real ones! And then the little dragon go to the yellow pegasis's place. He wondered what he's going to learn about the true dragons, are they really majestic as the legends say? Or it will only be looters who sow destruction wherever they go? When he arrived, King was with two handyponies front of a small and pretty house:
"Thanks guys, I'm still impresed about this: in two hours you finish to built a house with everything in!"
"Impressing, huh? All of this thanks to Gameloft" said one of the ponies.
"Game- what?" the dragon asked confused.
"We don't even know... Well see ya, King, right?" said the other pony going away.
"Yup! Bye! Aaah, if all ponies are like that, this gonna be a good place to live!"sighed the dragon with enthusiasm.
When he said that he felt a presence behind him and turned, it was a little purple dragon, " This aura... Would it be?... "
"Hey, Kingodonusamuka, right?"
"Just call me King, I didn't know there were another dragon here! What's your name kid?"
"I'm Spike! Sooo how do you feel here in Ponyville?" asked Spike.
"Well it's a quiet and friendly place, I like it!" Exclaimed King.
"Isn't it the same with the dragons?"
"No" said quickly the green dragon in responce. "Hey, Spike, can you show me around the the town?"
"Sure! First, your closest neighbor is Fluttershy. A yellow pegasis who can talk to animals."
"Interesting..." "Must be the Element of Kindness " he thought.
"Now come with me I gonna show you the Caroussel Boutique! That where Rarity works!"
"The white unicorn?" "The Element of Generosity? " asked King.
"You know her? Oh yeah it's right, you met everyony allready." Said Spike, "now lets go!"
They went to the clothing store and Rarity welcomed them and asked what she could do for them. King asked if she could make him a white waistcoat, she agreed and said to come back in the evening. "Okay" said King, he called Spike, but he stared at the unicorn with an stupid looking face. One by one The green dragon stared on Spike and Rarity and then he realizes something very weird. "No waaaaay, get out!!! " He exclaimed in his head, "Spike, come with me." he said taking the little dragon under his arm while leaving the shop. Once outside, he put down the purple one and this one asked:
"Okay, what can I show you now?" said the young dragon happy all of sudden.
"Kiddo..."
"Yes?"
"Don't tell me that you're in love with Rarity..."
"How do you know that?" Said surprised the kid.
"That was easy, just look at your face! You were all "gagagou" when you look at her." said King in response.
"Okay, now you know that, can we go before she heard you?"
"Kid... Dragon can't fall in love with ponies. It's insane!"
"That so no true!" Yelled Spike.
"Yes it is!"
"No it isn't!"
"Listen, all I want to say you is that it would be very strange, don't you think? How your kids are going to look like?" said King exasperated.
"Kids? Why are kids involved in Rarity and I? Now that I'm thinking about..."
"Oh no, not THAT question! "
"Tell me King... Where the babies come from?" Asked the little dragon innocently.
"Oh shit "The elder one thought. "F-Forget about the kids, I'll make this simple: Dragon + Pony = striped heart!" expained King.
"Well let me tell you something! Dragon + Pony = healthy heart!!" Yelled the kid.
"Kid, that stupid..."
"Well you're just... just... Diamond dog's poop!" said the purple dragon as an insult.
There were a long silence, King faceplamed himself "You really need to review your dictionnary of insults..."
"Well whatever, we're in a free country, I can do whatever I want, nah!" concludes the little one pulling out his tongue.
"What's wrong darlings?" Asked a white unicorn behind them.
"R-Rarity?" Said Spike, turning to face the Element of Generosity.
"I heard screamings, so I came out to see what's wrong, but it seems it was you two who were having a fight. Is there something wrong?" asked again Rarity.
"Nothing wrong here, huh Spike, am I right? "
"Yeah, of course!"exclaimed Spike.
"Now that I'm thinking about it, there were something you wanted to show me, no?" Said the green dragon.
"Oh yes! This thing! We gonna go!"
"Come on my shoulder kiddo, I'll bring us flying. See ya later, Rarity."
"Yeah, let's go! Bye Rarity!" Respond the kid climbing the big one.
"See you later boys." Finished the customary, saying goodbye to the dragons who were allready flying away.
King and Spike were in the air, the suddenly, Spike's stomach started to groarn, he told to the elder one to go down to a restaurant to eat some snacks. They arrived, sit to a table, King said to the little that he was sorry for earlier, it is true, we are free to love who we want. Spike forgave him quickly, he explained to the elder that Twilight said the same thing the first time when she learn about his feelings for the white unicorn. They both laught for a short time. Then the server arrived.
"Did you make a choice, sir?"asked the pony.
"I'll take hay fries! Extra crispy, like allways" commanded Twilight's assistant number 1.
"Hay fries?"asked the newcomer.
"Yeah, like they don't have gems here, I eat hay fries, they're so delicious!"
"Yeeeeeeah... Do you have sandwiches?"
"Of course, we have daffodil and daisy sandwich." confirmed the server
"Flower sandwich? Yeck!" Spited King with disgust. "Don't you have any ham and cheese sandwiches?"
"H-h-ham?"stammered the server with fright.
"Yeah, you know?! MEAT!"
"YOU EAT MEAT?" exclaimed the little dragon.
"Dragons eat meat."
"DID EVERYPONY HEARED? HE'S CARNIVOROUS, HE WANTS TO EAT US!!!" screamed a white earth pony with blue and pink mane. And all the ponies ran away by screaming like we were mutilating a hydra. Silence reigned at the restaurant. the two dragons were alone for few minutes until King realized what he say.
"What! Hey!" he yelled "I don't eat meat comming from ponies!!"
The two dragons were walking down a street, they're going to a place that Spike called the "Sugarcube Corner"The Element of Laughter... so that were she works... ". The little dragon explained to the mare that they were here for King to taste the cakes from the Sugarcube Corner.
"BWAAAAAAAAH!!!!" King, Spike and Pinkie heard from upstairs.
"What's the hell?" asked the green dragon.
"That must be Pound Cake and Pumpkin Cake, babies twins. Looks like Mr. and Mrs. Cake are having bad time." said the mare in reponse.
"Oh I see, that must be a pain in the butt to take care of two kids"
"Sure thing, and tonight I have to ponysit the twins *sigh*" said sadly Pinkie, "but it's not that bad, it's fun to play with kid!" continued the mare with a big smile on her face.
"Wait... you taking care of kids?" asked King, surprised.
"Well, duh! Do you know somepony else called Pinkie Pie?"
"N-no, but... I mean, YOU! Taking care of kids is not just play with them, is to much responsabilties. You're to excited to a task like this one. If you want, I can come and help you tonight" proposed the new dragon.
"No it's okay, I'm a responsible pony! I already take care of them several times."exclaimed the pinky mare.
"And you cry, don't you?" asked King with a mocking air.
"................................................................................................................. yes." said Pinkie with a disappointed tone.
"Don't woory, I'll help you tonight with the kids, and maybe-"
"NO! I can handle it by my own! I'm responsibe and I'll not change my mind!" yelled the mare.
"Wow! you make Pinkie angry, better get out of here" whispered Spike to the big dragon.
"Okay" whiped King to the little one, " Sorry for this misunderstanding, can I have this donut overthere?"
"Sure!" exclaimed the Element of Laughter, then she opened the window and pulled out a pink donut who sounded delicious "Like you're new in town, this donut is offered by the shop!" she said whith enthusiasm.
"Wow, Thank you Pinkie Pie!" thanked the dragon, having said that, he swallowed the cake on one bite. "DELICIOUS!"
The dragons were going now to a farm that Spike called "Sweet Apple Acres". The little dragon say that were lives the Apple family. As they approach their destination, they crossed a road that separates a forest of apple trees. "That a lot of apples " thought the green dragon, when they arrived King could see a huge red barn and he dicovered that the garden was the apple forest. "Come with me, I'll introduce you the family" said the purple dragon running towards an old green pony who was in charge of three foals, the new dragon followed him. He realized that the old mare's name was Granny Smith, that the yellow pony was called Applebloom, the white unicorn was Rarity's sister and called Sweetie Belle and that th orange pegasis's name was Scootaloo and that she's a great fan of Rainbow Dash "The Element of Loyalty " King thought. Spike asked to Granny where were Applejack and Big Mac, she replied that they were bucking apple trees to collect some apples. The two dragons went to meet them, and they were working hardly there were already twenty baskets full of apples.
"Hi A.J.!" said the little dragon.
"Well, hi there Spike!" greeted the earth pony. " And ya must be the naw dragon, King? Am I right?"
"Exactly, and you must be Applejack!"said and asked the green dragon in response "The Element of Honesty "
"Hey Big Mac! Everything's fine?" asked Spike to the red stallion.
"Eeyup!" respond the quiet stallion.
"What can I do for ya guys? Do you want something?" proposed AppleJack.
"Nothing important, I just wanted to King to know you and your family, that's all" smiled the kid.
"Okay then. Oh it's getting a little be late, ya better starting to go home." said the Element of Honesty going back to the farm.
"The cowmare's right kid, we better get going, but first I want to get my waistcoat" said King, "you can just tell me the rest by the way, okay?" he asked.
"And overthere, there're the Everfree forest, a really dark place where lives a really nice zebra called Zecora, she knows a lot about potions and this kind of stuff." conclued Spike to King. They were going to King's new house the big dragon wore a bag, in this bag was a white waistcoat, the one that Rarity makes for him ( the one on the cover). They continued to talk about everything and anything before arriving front of the house.
"Well, kiddo, that was a great day, thanks for everything, see ya tomorrow okay?" exclaimed the new dragon.
"You're welcome, King..." started Spike "C'mon Spike, ask him now! " he thought. King were starting to open the door, "Wait!"said the kid.
"It's there something wrong, kid?"
"I-I want to ask you something..."
"Please! Not the baby question!" begged the teenager.
"No! It's not that... I just..." continued Spike, "Please?"
"Huh?"
"Please, teach me all about dragons!"

Chapter 2: The Dragon Lesson
"Please! Pretty please, teach me all you know about dragons!" Spike begged the green dragon again.
"What? Hell no! No bucking way!", King reacted immediately.
There was a looooong silence, ten loooong seconds of silence, the purple dragon started to panic:
"Huh?! But I- I thought that, and-", the baby dragon panicked .
"HAHAHAHAHAA!” The elder dragon enjoyed loudly. "If only you could see your face!! It was amazing!"
"Huh?"
"I was kidding, kid!", said the dragon, "sorry if I made you lose your mind. But why are you asking this? You're a dragon, aren't you?"
"Yeah, but I was raised by ponies... So I don't know anything about my species."
"I see...", murmured King. "This is getting very interesting ", "But why didn't you go to the dragon's migration three days ago?", he asked.
"I did! I spent time with teen dragons, but all that I’ve learnt is that they were fools", the kid said.
"Oh, looks like you met Garble and his gang... well let me think about this teaching thing..." The dragon started to scratch his head, with a serious face.
Spike was waiting for the answer. Is he going to say yes? or no? "King's probably thinking that this is going to be a waste of time, he must be thinking that I'm ridiculous being a dragon, and knowing nothing about my own species... ”He though ”I’m gonna say sorry for wasting his time and- " the young kid started to think."Okay." he heard from King's mouth.
"What? Can you repeat it?"
"Well, Why not? I consider it as a test of what I learnt from Ancients Dragons. So okay! Just tell me where you live, and tomorrow morning, I'll come to your place, and start the lesson."
"Oh! Thank you soooooooooooo much!! I live at the library, with Twilight" The little dragon thanked loudly.
"The Element of Magic, huh? " King thought. "And, Spike, you can tell this to Twilight, she can be interrested.”
"I'll do it! See ya! And thank you again!” The kid yelled, he was already running to the library. "Yesssssssss!" He exclaimed for the last time of the day.
King stared at the child disappearing around the corner of the street "There is no doubt about it, It's Him, but it seems he's not awakened yet. I'm sure if I teach him, and certainly train him enough, he'll wake up. " He opened the door. " Now let’s see what's important for tomorrow's lesson, and mayb-"
"SURPRIIIIIIIIIIIISE!!!! " Almost twenty ponies screamed, hidden between furniture in the house.
"MY HEART!! GOD DAMN IT!!” The dragon shouted back at the floor, three meters away from where he was a second ago.
"Surpriiise!", a tiny voice screamed, later than the other ponies. "Oh, crap!".
"Pinkie? Aren't you supposed to babysit the twins?" The dragon asked, still surprised.
The pinky pony explained that she had lied to him, because she was preparing this surprise party to celebrate the arrival of a new inhabitant of Ponyville. King sighed and went to the buffet to eat some chips. The earth pony asked him to come on the dancefloor. The dragon froze and hesitated: "I- I don't dance " He returned to eating. He also asked to the pony when this party was going to finish. She thought for a few seconds and said "Well, it's 8 p.m. so the party's going to finish tomorrow at 1 a.m.!" with a big smile.
"Oh shit!" King exclaimed.
"Why?"
"Can't you, I don't know, stop the party at 11 p.m., or even at 10 p.m?”
"And I ask again: Why?"
"You see, Pinkie, tomorrow I'm going to the library to teach Spike all my knowledge about dragons." the dragon explained. "And I would go there early".
"You're going to be Spike's teacher? This gonna funa-fun-fun!~"Pinkie Pie crooned.
"Yeah, sure. Please? Could you do that?" The new dragon begged.
"Of course! A teacher needs to have his eight hours of sleep."
King thanked her and the party continued until ten o'clock. Everypony left the house and the dragon started to prepare his lessons for tomorrow… It took him four hours.
In Twilight's library, the door was hit three times. Celestia's faithful student pulled the triangular piece of wood to face the dragon who was standing on the threshold. "Hi Twilight, I'm here for Spike's Dragon Lesson.” Twilight invited him to enter.
"Hello Kingo-" The unicorn started.
"Just King, please.", he said immediately. "It's easier for you guys."
"Okay then, "King", we've been waiting for you." she said smiling.
"Huh, "We" ?"King asked.
Indeed, King's future students weren't just Spike and, accessorily, Twilight, but all Elements of Harmony, plus some other ponies like a purple mare who seemed to be another teacher along with all her students "Oh buck! Kids! Too many kids! " The dragon thought. A brown stallion who was talking to a grey funny looking pegasis with a blond mane, Granny Smith and Big Mac were there too. "God in heaven, please let them not ask too many questions! " The new teacher thought again.
"I brought some friends, like this, the lesson can be much more fun!" The Element of Laughter exclaimed. "That doesn't bother you, does it?"
"No! Of course not!" The elder dragon smiled. "Youuuuuuuu daaaaaaaaamn pony! "
"I see you put the waistcoat that I crafted for you. What do you think about it?" Rarity asked.
"I like it, it's comfortable, thank you so much Rarity."
King asked every pony to sit down, he looked at them and noticed that three young fillies were talking to each other: "Ah, the Cutie Mark Crusaders are also here... "
"Do you think we’ll have our cutie marks by knowing things about dragons?" The yellow earth pony asked to the orange pegasis.
"Maybe, but it would be awesome to have a dragon form for cutie mark!" Scootaloo exclaimed.
"Yeah, but I don't really want a dragon for cutie mark" the white unicorn respond.
"Girls! Be quiet! The lesson's going to start!" The pony teacher said to the three fillies.
"Thank you!" King smiled to Cheerilee. "Okay guys! Now let's start the Dragon Lesson." every pony applauded. "First thing: dragons are NOT vegetarians!" he said, staring a purple dragon. All kids in the room gasped, and all eyes turned to Spike.
"There's a beginning for everything." the young dragon smiled.
We first are going to speak about dragon's description and habits, and I'm sorry if I tell everything in disorder 'cause you see, I never teached a lesson to someone before. And as dragons don't have much history, I'll speak about it as last. Any questions? Yes Twi?
"If there's not much about the History, why don't you begin with it?"
Do you wanna make the class for me? No? So shut up, please!
Dragon Description
There are so many types of dragons… the earth dragons, flying dragons, man dragons, golem dragons, etc. Dragon's sizes are variable, the larger is one or two hundred meters high. We can live up to five hundred years. If some of you have seen dragons to adulthood, you probably noticed that they were moving on four legs while the youngest ones, like Spike or myself, move on two legs. That's because by growing up, our body grows and becomes heavier, heavy enough that our hind legs can no longer support our weight and that is why when we are adults, we move on all four, like ponies.
"Well, that was interresting..." Spike said.
"... And kinda obvious"? he purple unicorn continued .
Some dragons are suffering from a peculiar disease: at their birthday, if we give them too many presents, they become materialistic and turn gradually into adult dragons before the adult age. Not very dangerous for the dragons but: it's not cool.
"That what happened to me!", the little dragon exclaimed.
Dragon Habits
As you may have noticed three days ago, dragons do a huge migration every hundred years to find a new place to live another hundred years and then redo another migration. Whereas someone like me leaves the flock to live alone or with his family into a quiet place. Uh... Dragons are very powerful when they can stand in two legs because they can learn the big techniques of martial arts, they can use their fire, their spikes, their fists to fight. The adults can use their fists too, but can't move by using them. So we can deduce that the young dragons are more powerful than the older but those are a lot more resistants. So the younger ones are hunting for the flock, while the adults are the shields. Uh, yes... Dragons are gemivorus, we all, without exception, eat gems, but when there is no gems, we're carnivorous, when there is no meat, we're insectivorous, and if there is no insect, we look again and if there is still no insect we became herbivorous… but JUST in that case! Yes, Sweetie Belle?
"Do dragons eat ponies?"
I don't, but some dragons yes they do. What can I say... Uh... Some dragons have a very bad temper. And... Yes! Wait... No, no....
"You look a little hesitant", Rainbow Dash observed.
Yeah... Well I think it's all about the Habits. Now we can talk about their History.
Dragon History
First, I can say that we, dragons, have been here for a long long time, before the creation of Equestria, before ponies started to live in this world. And- yes Twi?
"What do you mean, "before ponies started to live in this world"? "
Well, I mean that before ponies ruled this land, there were others biped creatures who ruled the world. I don't know anything about them. Just that they were here before you and the Princesses, and that they were for us just giant burgers on legs.
"Well, Ah learn something today!", AppleJack exclaimed.
Like I said earlier, we don't really have much History. Just one big event happened three thousand years ago and was forgotten by almost all dragons, except Ancients, who I learnt it all from.
"What's the event? Was it something fun?"
For dragons: yes. For other species: not really. This event was called: " The Discovery Five". It's called so because five Great dragons discovered something really sweet for all dragon kind: the two special and secret dragon's abilities.
"What's the names of those dragons?", asked Spike.
Here are their names: Alduin, Shenron, Ridley, Rayquaza and Mushu. They all, together discovered the abilities. The- *sigh* "Bucking buck's sake! " Yes, Scootaloo?
"What are these abilities?", the orange pegasis asked .
"What?!" Twilight screamed.
*re-sigh* What now Twilight?
"It's impossible for a dragon, as powerful as it is, to perceive the aura. Everypony knows dragons can't use magic."
That's where you're wrong, the perception of the aura is nothing magic, it's just focus and open-mindeness. I can do it, easy.
"Prove it!"
I don't need it, bearer of the Element of Magic. "Wow, all pony shut their mouth up!"
"H-How do you know that? Just the ponies from Ponyville know that I'm an Element of Harmony."
Well, it's not a big deal if you can perceive the aura of living being. Like it's not a big deal to tell that Pinkie Pie is the Element of Laughter, AppleJack the Honesty, Rarity the Generosity, Rainbow Dash the Loyalty and Fluttershy the Kindness.That's because all of you have different aura, unlike the other ponies.
"Wow, that's amazing!"
"And fun!"
"So you really can see the aura of every pony?" Twilight asked, surprised.
Eeyup.
"Hey! That's mine!" Big Macintosh yelled.
Sorry, Big Mac. So I was saying, the Ancients teached me how to do that.
"How long it takes you to learn how to perceive the aura?" Fluttershy asked quietly, behind everypony.
*re-re-sigh* It took me four years to learn how to master it perfectly.
"Oooow... I’d really liked to be able to perceive auras..."
Now can I explain what is the second secret ability? Yes? Thank you. Now... Everypony... stay silent... and look.
King folded his hands in front of his nose, closed his eyes and suddenly, he spat on his hands an orange flame. While everyone began to panic, shouting that he was going to burn his hands, they noticed that his hands were not suffering from the high temperature, even the waistcoat did not burn. The flames surrounded his hands without burning them.
"THAT. SO. AWESOME!" The blue pegasis yelled, very impressed.
"I know." King smiled.
"How the hell did you do that?" Twilight asked.
"You really want to know everything, huh?"
"Sure!"
"Well, same as perception: focusing, but it says that you must to know how to fight and have sense of protection.", the dragon warned.
"Can all dragons learn these abilities?" Spike asked.
"Yes. But for some reason, almost every dragon forgot about this big event, just the Ancients and others know about it, don't know why."
"But, how did those dragons learn about these two great skills?"
"Nobody knows."
Flashback
Three thousand years ago
A giant green snake was waiting for friends in the crater of a giant volcano, he waited and waited and waited and waited, then there was an explosion from the sky and a purple skeletal dragon arised from the smoke.
"Ridley!" The snake “smiled”.
"Rayquaza! Long time no see dude!", exclaimed in his turn the purple dragon.
"Sure thing! Gimme three!" Rayquaza extended a hand to his friend as far as possible ('cause he’s got small arms).
"It's four for me." Ridley smiled. "It was a great idea from Mushu to organize a meeting between friends from dragon college."
"What about your job? So, captain of Space Pirates, huh? That’s cool!"
"Yeah sure, but there’s that bitch: Samus, who's always on our way."
"Not cool, dude."
"Hey guys!" A voice said, coming from nowhere.
The two dragons looked around.
"C'mon, guys! I know, I'm small, but not that small!"
They looked down and saw a tiny red earth dragon.
"Oh, sorry Mushu, we didn't see yah"
"Nobody sees me..." Mushu sighed with rage.
"Well, sure thing, it was a great idea of yours to organize this meeting", the giant snake said.
"Yeah, thanks dude, it's good to see some friends again" The purple dragon thanked.
"Nah, it's nothing guys. Oh, and I discovered something cool! Look!"
"Wow, Mushu discovered something! It can only be interesting." Rayquaza laughed with sarcasm.
The little dragon spat it fire on his hand, and the flame stood on its members without burning them.
"Well, that interesting."
"How did you do that?"
"It was a week ago, I was doing a barbecue, quietly, when suddenly, I sneezed my flames on my hands. I panicked but noticed that my hand didn't burn, I was controlling them! And the best part is, when I wanted the flames to go out, they went out!", explained Mushu proudly.
The two dragons stared at him, speechless for a few seconds... "Awesome..."
A storm appeared above the volcano, and an enormous chinese dragon slowly pulled out.
"My friends! Long time no see."
"Shenron!" The dragons in the crater exclaimed.
A roar was heard, and a big black dragon emerged to meet the others.
"Alduin!"
"It's Lord Alduin."
"C'mon, dude, we're friends, we can call you Alduin if we want to." Rayquaza smiled .
"If you were not a friend of mine, I would eat you up."
"Roooooh, C'mon! Oh! Guys, guys, look what Mushu discovered!" Ridley said. "Do it again Mushu!"
Mushu dispayed his show one more time.
"That’s interesting, Mushu my friend." Shenron said .
"I'm proud to be you're Overlord."
"Huh, Ya not mah Lord..." The little red dragon said, quietly.
"Now that I'm thinking about it, I also discovered something."Alduin said.
"What is it?" asked the giant chinese dragon, intrigued.
"I can perceive the aura of anybody."
"Cool! And I guess you can't really prove it, huh?" the giant snake crossed his arms.
"Not really, but if you could see in my eyes, sure."
"Okay... Well, I organized this meeting to share this discovery with you guys. I want the Dragon world to know that WE discovered these skills" Mushu admitted.
"That’s really generous of you, my friend. I accept!", thanked Shenron.
"Me too!" Rayquaza said.
"Me three!" Ridley said in his turn. "Hey, Alduin why don't you share your discovery with us?"
"It's not my style to belittle me to my subjects, but... you're my friends, I can make an exception." the Overlord said with authority.
"Great, we can call this: "The Discovery Five"!", Mushu exclaimed.
"YEAH!" they all yelled.
End of the Flashback
"Well, I hope you've enjoyed the Lesson, ‘cause it's over", King concluded.
"That was cool!" Scootaloo said in her turn.
"Hey, let's check our flanks! Maybe our cutie mark's appeared!" Applebloom exclaimed.
The three fillies stared their flank, still blank. "Ooooooow..." they sighed.
"Come on, kids. we need to go back to school, the day isn't over yet", the pony teacher said. "Thank you for your time King."
"Well, Ah think that the Apple family is leaving too, thank you for this lesson, buddy", the Element of Honesty said.
"We're going too! Bye everyone." The brown stallion was pleased. "Well, Ditzy, it was a good idea to follow the lesson about dragons, it was very interesting!"
"Doctor! I told you to call me Derpy, please." The gray pegasis respond, by exiting the room with the "Doctor".
Every pony left the house, there were only three people left in the room : Twilight, Spike and King.
"C'mon Spike, I know you want to ask him." The unicorn said quietly her assistant n°1 by pushing him towards the elder dragon.
"Huh... King?" Spike started.
"Yes? ("3... 2... 1.... ")”
"Please, can you train me to become a dragon? I want to know how to use the secret abilities!"
"déjà-vu, as I planned " King smiled: "Okay, Why not. Meeting at the Town Hall Square at two o'clock in the afternoon, okay?”
"Sure! I have just enough time to finish my chores!", the little dragon exclaimed while King was leaving the library. "Do you believe it, Twilight? I finally gonna learn how to be a real dragon!"
"I'm so happy for you, Spike. Sure we learnt something very interesting today, maybe it's not about friendship, but interesting. I'm sure that the princess will like it. Spike! Take a letter!"
"Sure!"
Dear Princess Celestia, Yesterday a dragon named Kingodona named King came to Ponyville to live here. He's a tall green dragon, rather nice, which today has taught me, Spike and a few friends the Dragon description, habits and history. I learnt that the dragons were (Blablabla...) And that what I learnt today. Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle P.S: Hello Princess, here Spike. I just wanted to tell you that I'm soo happy, today. I finally learnt a lot about my species, and more important, a REAL dragon is going to train me! Your humble subject, Spike
The race: Dragon VS Pegasus
Chapter 3: The race: Dragon VS Pegasus
“Where is he? It is two hours and a half already!”, exclaimed King, becoming impatient. “I told him to come at two!”
“Sorry, I’m late” apologized the kid.
“I know! Why do you have a donut?”
“I didn’t take breakfast this morning. So I went quickly to the Sugarcube Corner and buy this don- OH!” screamed the dragon because he tripped and now, his donut was in the air, ready to respond to gravity and kiss the ground, “MY DONUT!!!!” cried the child before pulling his tongue and grab the donut to five centimeters from the ground. “Pfiuu, saved.”
“How the hell did you do that?” asked the green dragon.
“What do you mean?”
“The thing with your tongue”
“Oh that! It’s nothing, every dragon can do it” respond Twilight’s assistant.
“What? No! Of course no.” exclaimed King.
“Huh?”
“Did I… Oh damn, I forgot to say about it during the lesson!”
“To say what?”
The teen explained to the child that each dragon has a capacity that is unique, there are great capacities like eating fire, and less cool as farting through the nostrils. He also stated that Spike’s capacity was “having a super-duper-long tongue”; the little dragon asked to the older one what Garble’s capacity is. King only responds: “To being a bucking pain in the ass”. “I knew it!” whispered the kid. Then Spike asked what was King’s one. He laughs.
“Without wanting to brag ... No, actually I love to brag. I am one of the fastest dragons in the world, I could even say: THE fastest!” smiled the dragon.
“That doesn’t answer me.”
“Well, you see kiddo. My capacity is something that I named: Dragon Boost . It consists to do an acceleration that increases my speed by five during a flight or a walk.”
“Looks like a Sonic Rainboom…” noticed the kid.
“What’s a Sonic Rainboom?”
“It’s like your Dragon Boost but only Rainbow Dash can perform it.”, explained Spike.
“Okay… Want me to show you my capacity?”
“Yeah, why not?”
The big dragon opened his wings, he took off, starts to turn a little into the air. Spike waited forward the demonstration. King looked at the little dragon with a smile and said with energy: "DRAGON BOOST!" and there was an explosion where the dragon was and this one was gone, we only could see a yellow-green trail that ran at full speed towards the North, Spike was speechless.
King was doing loops in the air, it was long since he had been able to do a Dragon Boost, the olds ones forbade him to do it near other dragons. He never understands why… The dragon noticed that he slowed, it boosted again.
“Was it… King?” questioned herself Rainbow Dash.
King was landing smoothly at Spike. The little dragon said it was great, the big one nodded.
“Hey you!” They both heard.
They looked up and seen the Element of Loyalty standing above them. She land down, look at the green dragon.
“I’ve seen your speed just now; it’s pretty impressive but not enough to face me.” She started.
“So…?”
“I think she want to challenge you.” murmured Spike.
“Oh really?” said King with sarcasm.
“Eh! It's not as if I thought you were faster than me ...”
“I surely am.” smiled the dragon.
Rainbow Dash stared him angrily and growled.
“What you say?”
“I’m surely faster than a pony.” He repeated.
“You know what? I challenge you to a race! You and me!” yelled the blue pegasis.
King crossed his arms on his chest, lifted his chin and screamed: “CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!!!!”
“Great! In two hours, here, for the race!”
“You’re going to have a race?”
Rainbow Dash and King looked at the pinky earth pony, which jumped from nowhere, smiling like always.
“Uh, yeah?” said King.
“Awesome! That sounds fun! ” she exclaimed. “I’ll put up posters everywhere! I can already see it: “In two hours… The race: Dragon VS Pegasis! Who’s going to win? Come to attend the best race EVER!” That’s going to be awesome!” She screamed, like that every pony around can hear her. “I let you prepare yourself, I have lot of work to do!” said Pinkie Pie, running away.
Every one stayed speechless, and return on their business. Rainbow Dash went away, remembering to King: “Two hours, don’t you dare run away!”
“I was going to say you the same thing.” He smiled again.
“B-But?! And my training?!” exclaimed Spike.
“Sorry kid, but you see, a dragon never denied a challenge like this!” tried to apologized the teenager.
“Okay…” sighed sadly the little dragon.
“But don’t worry. We still have two hours before the race. We can talk!”
Spike agreed and they went for a walk, the older one asked to the child about the Elements and-
“Now that I’m thinking about it… How do you know things about the Element of Harmony?” asked Spike.
“That right. Pretty strange that Twilight didn’t asked me about that.”
Suddenly, Twilight appeared by teleportation in front of the two dragons.
“King!”
“Yes Twi?”
“I forgot to ask you… How the hay do you know about the Elements?” asked and yelled the unicorn.
“I was waiting for this. You see, I say this morning that we, dragons, were here for long, long time so, obviously, we were here when the Elements was used for the first time.” Started to tell King.
“You mean the princesses?”
“No. Before the princesses. Those biped creatures used and created the Elements long time ago. So, it’s normal for us to know the Elements.”
“Oh, I see… This is a good explanation, sorry if I disturb you.”
“No problem.” Smiled the dragon. “Oh, Twilight. My turn to ask questions.”
“Yes King?”
“Do you and your friends have met a dragon on adulthood?”
“Yeah! Once a dragon was sleeping on top of the mountain there. He snored too much and spitting at the same time smoke. Princess Celestia sent us on a mission, which of making goes away the dragon. It was a failure until Fluttershuy “defeated” the dragon and so we were able to save Equestria again.”
“Wait a second, you mean Fluttershy defeated a dragon? Fluttershy? The Element of KINDNESS??” wondered loudly the teenager.
“Well yeah…”
“OH BUCK! GONNA CHECK THIS OUT!” screamed King, now running to Fluttershy’s house.
Spike and Twilight stayed there, alone. Without understanding this hurry.
“Oh Spike, do you know that Rainbow Dash and King are going to race?”
Fluttershy was taking care of her animals when suddenly the door was hit three times. She wondered who it could be, she came near the large piece of wood, opened and closed immediately.
“Fluttershy! That’s not very polite! It’s me: King!” exclaimed a voice behind the door. The yellow pegasis opened the door.
“I know, sorry… It’s just that I’m still not used to receive a big dragon as you…” murmured the pegasis, “Please come in”
The dragon entered into the little house, all animals by seeing him run away “crap ” King thought. But he noticed that just one animal stayed calm: a white little bunny, staring at the dragon.
“Please, if it doesn’t bother you, take a sit. This is Angel.” Said the pegasis to the teenager. “Angel, this is King, he’s our guest, so be nice, okay?” the only answer she get was a bored look from the rabbit. “I’ll take that for a yes… Well, I have something to do upstairs. Can I leave you two alone?”
“Sure no problem…” said King in response.
Fluttershy smiled and went upstairs.
----------King’s PoV ----------
I looked at the rabbit, he looked at me, I looked at him, he looked at me, I looked at him, he pulled a knife out of nowhere, I looked at him with my eyes wide open with an expression of "What The Buck?!", He threw the knife.
----------End King’s PoV -----------
King dodged the knife in Matrix style, which went planted in the wall behind the dragon. The rabbit jumped like a ninja on the dragon's head to bounce back and reach for the blade planted. Once the handle of the knife in hand, he withdrew the blade of the wall to return to the attack, but the dragon had already caught the ears. King snatched the knife from the hands of the animal and placed it on a table beside him. The new dragon glared at the bunny, which wasn’t intimidated, and in a voice full of rage:
“I eat bitches like you every morning, so you better calm down when I’m around. Understood?”
Angel gave him a slap in response.
“YOU LITTLE!!!” shouted in a low voice the dragon, to the pegasus can’t hear it up there.
Then they listened steps on the stairs. King put the rabbit on the ground, and had a smile on his face. Fluttershy looked at them and said she was glad they get along so well. But we could swear that behind rivals were their shadows trying to fight.
“So, King, what can I do for you?”
“Oh! That right! Twilight tell me that you‘ve defeated a dragon, once! It’s that true?” asked the dragon.
“Oh, that? I don’t really “defeat” him, I just scolded him, the poor big red dragon, he cried after that…"
“Wait… A red dragon?”
“Uh, yes?”
“So let me recapitulate: a red dragon, snoring smoke, and go away after being “defeated” by a pony?”
“Yes…”
“No way… It’s YOU?! You’re the pony who defeated Uncle Bob!?” exclaimed the dragon.
“It was your uncle? I’m so sorry…”
“It’s okay, he’s not really my uncle. In the clan, we just call him Uncle Bob. You’re definitely not as he have described you.” Noticed King.
“And how he described me?”
“He said, if I remember correctly, he said that he was attacked when he was sleeping by a freaking scary pegasus. He said that the pony was small but very very strong, he said that the eyes were soaked with blood, that the pony doesn’t have any mane, just snakes instead of the fur. He even says that the attacker had claws instead of hooves. He finally said that the pony beat the crap outta him and forced him to go away with his treasure.” Explained King.
“Oh my…” whispered the pegasis.
“What a pussy… If I see him again, I would talk to him.” He smiled. They continued talking for some time. “Oh” exclaimed King, “it’s been one hour we discuss, in an hour I have a race to win.”
“Oh yeah, that right! You and Rainbow Dash are going to race, I’ll be there to cheer both of you.”
“How do you know that? It was announced there was barely an hour”
“Pinkie’s news is really fast”
“Oh.”
The time of the race arrived, the ponies had prepared everything: the banner of arrival and departure, the cloud way to tell where is the arrival. The two concurrent were at the starting line, stretching their members, especially their wings. Pinkie and Spike were in a balloon to comment the race. The spectators were talking among themselves.
“According to you, who will win?” asked Applebloom.
“Well, Rainbow Dash of course! She’s the best!” exclaimed Scootaloo.
“But King looks pretty badass, don’t you think? And I heard that he was the fastest dragon in the world.” Said the yellow pony in response.
A pony shouted: “The bets are open!”
“30 bits on the pegasis!”
“25 on the dragon!”
King looked at his concurrent and smiled:
“Still thinking that you can win?”
“Of course!”
Applejack raised the black and white checkered flag to announce the departure. They both went on position. The earth pony lowered the flag, and the dragon and the pegasis flew at full speed.
King quickly noticed that the pegasus was flying faster than him, she moved gradually away from the dragon’s position. But it really didn’t bother him, he just had to say: “DRAGON BOOST!” And in a few seconds he was ahead under the surprised look of Rainbow Dash. But it wasn’t enough to slow the Element of Loyalty. She did a Sonic Rainboom and overtook the dragon. The rivals were now next to each other; they threw themselves a little look and accelerated. King was beginning to dangerously slowing down but made another Dragon Boost to stay next to Rainbow Dash. After a dozen turns, loops and other stunts unnecessary for a race, both competitors were above a forest and saw a down arrow showing clearly that the road ahead was to zigzag between the trees. King, convinced that his opponent was breathless, decided to take a look at her, but what he saw prevented him to watch something other than her. The rainbow mane was dancing in the wind, the same for the fur and the feathers of her wings. His eyes looked up at the face of the mare, her big adorable pink eyes, which focused gaze... Now that King was thinking ... Rainbow Dash is very cute.
“Wait… WHAT?! ” he though.
*CRASH* he did by bumping a tree; his head had transfixed the trunk.
The blue pegasis heard the crash so she stopped and approach the head to see if everything was alright. King replied sarcastically that all was well, the mare helped him to unblock the head of the tree. After this little incident, they finished the race, it is needless to say that Rainbow Dash was victorious with three-five seconds ahead. And of course, Pinkie had prepared a party for the victory. The party lasted a long time, night had fallen, King apologized to Spike because the training will be postponed to the next day.
King was sitting alone in his room when someone knocked on the door he opened it and Rainbow Dash was standing at the doorway, she asked him to enter the dragon agreed and let her pass.
“So what can I do for you R.D.?” asked the dragon, “Do you want a Coca?”
“Yes, please”
“Oh, I didn’t congratulate you for your victory yesterday, it was a great race.”
“Sure! If we forgot the passage of your crash with the tree.” She smiled.
“Uh, yeah…” blushed King, still looking for Coca. “Please, don’t tell any pony”
“Hmm, we can fix it” laughed the pony.
King smiled, “So, what do you want?” he said, turning round. But he was surprised to see the smiling face of pegasus a few inches from his own face. “What the…”
“Kiss me.” She said.
The dragon stayed silent for few seconds which looked like hours. “What?” this is what he only found to say.
“C’mon! I know you want it!” she say, approaching her lips close to King’s ones.
“Wait, Dash, you're nice and cute, but we are two different breeds, it is not very-“
“Shut up already!” she yelled sticking her lips to his.
King was first surprised, then answered the kiss by hugging her. Then, they… or rather he opened his eyes suddenly. He was in his bed, sweating and kinda scared. He murmured: “No… God, please no…”
Spike came to the King’s house and knocked, the big dragon opened the door a look exhausted.
“You’re okay?” asked the little dragon, surprised.
“Yeah, don’t worry…”
Then, a blue pegasus passed near the house and stopped by seeing the two dragons.
“Hey guys! What’s up?” she asked.
“Oh, hi Rainbow Dash! King’s going to train me today!” smiled Spike.
“H-Hello R.D.” said King. “Like Spike said, I’m going to be his trainer!”
“Okay, good luck! See ya!” she flew away.
“Yeah… See ya…” blushed a little the big dragon.
Spike noticed that blush, he stared on King and Rainbow Dash and realized: “No waaaaaay, get out! ” He stared the green dragon, smiling.
“Why you’re looking at me like that? You look stupid.”
“King… Don’t tell me you’re in love with Rainbow Dash?”
“What? No, of course not!” He strongly blushed.
“Yeah right…” the kid still smiled.
“This gonna be our secret! Don’t you dare tell this to some pony!” said the dragon with rage.
“Okay!”
“Now, prepare yourself! ‘cause this training is nothing easy!”
Chapter 4: Be a Dragon!
King brought Spike in a meadow, in front of a rock which size was almost the same as the big dragon. He carried on his shoulders four pots, he put them on the ground, turned to his new pupil, staring at him and at the rock. Spike didn’t understand and asked him what the rock will be used for?
“This would be your first main test: pushing this rock from here to my house.” He said it as if it was something banal.
The little dragon stared at him with disturbed air, "What?" he asked. The elder replied that it was only a test, "Show me how you're gonna bring this to my house."
The assistant approached the rock and looked up to see the immensity of the stone, swallowed and put his little hands on the cold surface of the rock. He pushed with all his might, but was unable to move an inch. He pushed so hard that he slipped and slammed his face on the ground.
“We have a long way to go…” sighed the big dragon. He picked up two pots at his feet, and threw them in the air. “Let’s get down to business, to defeat-” he shouted just before breaking the pots with his fists while they were still in the air and reaching his head level “-Your fears!”
Spike was speechless at the sight of so much accuracy, and then said: “What about my fears?"
"Shut up and try to do the same as me." King said throwing the other two pots in the air. The kid jumped, fist closed, and gave a blow too early, missing the first pot. The second fell on his head, knocking the little dragon to the ground, stoned. “Did they send me a filly when I asked for a dragon?” sighed again the big dragon, when Spike raised his head, a confused look upon his face, King approached the little messenger, “ You’re the saddest thing I’ve ever met, but you can bet. Before we’re through…” he leaned toward him with a look a bit edgy: “Mister, I’ll make a dragon out of you.”
Twilight and her friends, which were there because they wanted to see the training of the little dragon, had a sentiment of pity for this latter, "I hope Spike will succeed with his first test," said the purple unicorn.
Both dragons advanced a little further into the prairie, leaving the rock where it was. They stopped in front of two trees side by side. King cut out the two trunks and sat on the base of one of the trees, Spike followed suit. The eldest reminded to the young that the rock remains its principal objective. The coach took a yoga position, the smallest imitated him. They both closed their eyes “Tranquil as a forest, but on fire within.” The green dragon spoke, Spike opened his eyes and saw that the trunk where King sat was burning. The coach smiled and stood up, then raised a leg and an arm, the student did the same. “Once you find your center-“he said before jumping and at the same occasion changing his point of support: his right hand. “-You are sure to win!” Spike tried to do the same thing but crashed to the ground. King jumped down next to the kid “You’re a spineless, pale pathetic kid! And you haven’t got a clue…” Spike was scared when the big dragon leaned toward him “Somehow I’ll make a dragon out of you!”
“I’m never gonna catch my breath!” exclaimed Spike, running through a wide corridor, where false fire arrows came as ... arrows… through the holes in each wall. A projectile reaches its target setting fire to the bottom of the dragon. “Say goodbye to those who knew me!” he yelled under King’s jaded eyes.
Later, Spike stands in front of a brick held by King that he had to break with his fist, he folded his arms before expanding with a brute force, the impact between the fist and the pavement echoed round ten meters then a crackling. The new dragon, surprised, turned the brick to see the crack but there was nothing. He looked to his apprentice, who, was on the ground holding his hand all red, muttering and crying: “Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym?”
King sighed. It was the little dragon’s hand who cracked.
The girls who were not far, saw the scene and sympathized with Spike’s pain.
“This guy’s got ‘im scared to death!” exclaimed Applejack.
“Hope he doesn’t see right through me.” said Rarity. All her friends stared with astonishment; “I don’t know why I said that…” she blushed.
“Should we go to help Spike?” asked Fluttershy.
“No, Spike wants to do it alone. He does not want our help, it is his choice ... we should just remain as spectators.” Twilight explained, but she was still worried about his assistant.
The two dragons were now at the river of Ponyville, where were planted thirty wooden pole along the river, the purpose of this training was to jump from one pole to another without falling.
“Now, I really wish that I knew how to swim…” whispered Spike. “Why did I say that?”
“You can’t swim?” asked King.
“Yes! I can!” exclaimed the little one.
“Don’t worry, is not deep here.” Joked the dragon.
“But I know how to swim I said!”
King said to Spike to shut up and do the exercise. The purple dragon went on the first pole and fell into the water at the end of the seventh.
“Be a Dragon! We must be swift as a coursing river! Be a Dragon! With all the force of a great typhoon! Be a Dragon! With all the strength of a raging fire!”
“Mysterious as the dark side of the moon…” King whispered, concentrated. They were again to the two cut trunks for balance exercises, but this time under the rays of the moon, which gave them a sense of power and mystery. The big dragon changed his point of support while Spike was about to fall.
He fell. The green dragon jumped out of the trunk.
“Time is racing toward us, and your training is not finished yet.” The little dragon looked at him. “Heed my every order, and you might survive.”
“From what?” asked Twilight’s assistant.
“From all dangers will threaten your friends. If I train you it’s not for you to boast fire on your wrists, but to protect those who are dear to you. Do you want to protect them?” asked the elder one.
“Yes!”
“Yeah!” yelled Spike with authority.
“Even after failing all this exercises today?” asked for the last time King, with a serious face.
“I……….”Spike stopped; he began to doubt his sincerity. Could he really protect his friends despite all these failures in a row? He wasn’t sure.
“Pfff ... he hesitates ... He is not ready yet…” Though the dragon. “You’re unsuited for the protection, so pack up, go home you through.” He said, turning his back on the child.
“Wait! I’ll protect them! I swear!” he said, catching the elder.
“Oh yeah? Then moves that rock!” he yelled, designating the main test. “This is your last chance. Bring me this rock to my door. You have until dusk.” Conclude the dragon.
Spike rushed on the rock shouting "I'll do it!" and tried to push the rock with all his might. The coach sighed and resumed his way home. Spike noticed, fell on his knees, with tears in her eyes. King threw a last glance over his shoulder, “How could I make a dragon out of you?” he asked himself, leaving the little one with his test.
Spike stood alone, thinking of a way to move the rock to King’s house. This is when the girls decided to approach the dragon, some told him they were sorry for him, others offered their help that the young boy rejected. He turned and tried to push the boulder again. Twilight said to his friends that it was late and if Spike wanted to try to pass his test, it’s his choice. However, she said to his assistant that force does not solve all by seeing the dragon counted only on his strength to move the object, "…Must use our head occasionally," she said before leaving for library.
The last sentence echoed in the dragon's head, and if King didn’t expect him to push the rock with his tiny strength but with some technique? … But which one? Then he remembered a book that Twilight had given him: How the pyramids were built? He remembers this technique that was to roll heavy objects on logs, we called it the undercarriage. He remembered that there were a lot of logs not far away, near a house. He had enough time to succeed in bringing the rock. He said to himself:
“Be a Dragon! We must be swift as a coursing river! Be a Dragon! With all the force of a great typhoon! Be a Dragon! With all the strength of a raging fire! Mysterious as the dark side of the moon…”
He smiled, he would pass the test!
King rose from his bed, went into the bathroom, brushed his teeth and then donned his white waistcoat. He descended the steps of his stairs to get to the dining room to swallow a few emeralds, "it tastes like chicken curry, as usual .... I should take topazes who have the taste of bacon ... " thought the dragon. King threw one quick glance out the window hoping to see any rock material ... but no ... "I hope not to have too unmotivated tonight ... it looks like he has not succeeded ... too bad ... I'll pick him up in the library and continue his training. " He went to the door, opened it and gasped when he saw a large rock that was almost his size, he looked up and saw a small purple dragon, smiling, sitting on the rock. King smiled back.
“Be a Dragon!”
“We must be swift as a coursing river!” cried the two dragons, while Spike crossed the hallway to false fire arrows, dodging projectiles rhythmically.
“Be a Dragon!”
“With all the force of a great typhoon!” shouted the two dragons, while Spike crossed the columns on the river he fell at the twenty-fifth but whatever, “…it’s a nice improvement.” King thought.
“Be a Dragon!”
“With all the strength of a raging fire!” exclaimed the two dragons, while Spike punch ten times in a row on a brick held by the elder, at the last stroke, a large crack was heard, King returned to the pavement and saw a big crack, he looked up at the young man who held his hands all red but he did not cry this time. The big dragon smiled.
“Mysterious as the dark side of the moon…”whispered the two dragons, concentrated. They were to the two cut trunks for balance exercises, under the rays of the moon. The big dragon changed his point of support: his right hand, Spike knew that he will not reproduce the movement of his coach so he waited a few seconds and when King once again changed its point of support to make an easier pose, the little dragon imitated him. The elder one noticed and smiled again.
The next morning, King, Spike and the mane six were reunited. The little dragon closed his eyes, folded his hands in front of his muzzle, concentrated, and suddenly spat his green flames on his hands, and the flames remained on his wrists. The assistant looked at his burning hands without hurting him with wonder, listening his friends’ cheers. He raised his head towards the green dragon.
"You've passed the test, kiddo." He smirked.
Chapter 5: The Ex-girlfriend
It’s been a week now since King came to Ponyville, he got along well with the residents and Spike’s training was going well too. The green dragon has taught some fighting techniques to the little one. And… that’s all.
Today our two dragons were once again in the meadow for their training, Spike was sitting on the floor with his eyes closed and a serious look upon his face. King walked around him eating peanuts.
“Remember, kiddo, concentration is the key to this exercise, capiche?” said the trainer.
“Yeah, I know... You already told me that 50 times;” Answered the disciple.
King did not like the remark and threw the shell of one of the peanuts on the child's head. "Hey!" cried Spike, but the green dragon said only one word "concentration". Spike apologized and took position a few seconds later; King fixed his concentrated apprentice and threw another shell on the kid’s head. But this time, the purple dragon didn’t react. A few seconds later, the big dragon crouches next to his student and begin to poke his cheek. Spike still does not react, only a vein swells off on his forehead so King gets away from him. A minute later, King still staring at the little dragon with a little smirked.
“Oh! Hello Rarity!” he exclaimed.
“What? Rarity?” asked Spike, coming out of his concentration. “Crap! I forgot that she went with the others to the dessert contest at Canterlot. You tricked me!” he said indignantly.
“Hmm... you held three minutes and twenty-six seconds, it's better than yesterday: forty seconds,” noticed the trainer. Then, he heard a train whistle, “Hey! The girls are back. Okay, kiddo, training is over for today. Let’s go to welcome them.” He said to his pupil.
“What are we waiting for? Let’s go!” exclaimed Spike.
King pointed to his left shoulder, where the assistant went to install himself, and then he flew to the train.
In the train Canterlot-Ponyville, the mane of six were talking about their stay in Canterlot, until Pinkie noticed a hooded figure sitting a few bank from their places, the unknown was not sitting like a pony but a biped creature. Hard to say what it was because of his long dark cloak? The pink mare asked to the hooded one his name and species, but the latter choose not to answer and ignored her. The earth pony, not too happy, went back to join her friends and complain about what just happened.
“Come on darling, don’t make the same mistake you did with Cranky, don’t irritate that person otherwise your chances of becoming his friend will no longer exist, said the white unicorn quietly, while petting the mane of her pink friend.
“Ooookay… you’re right! Oh! And by the way Twilight! How’s Spike’s training?” asked Pinkie Pie.
“It’s progressing quite well from what he tells me. Yesterday, he told me that King has taught him some martial art movement that dragons could control.” The unicorn responded.
When Twilight mentioned King’s name, the hooded one raised his head and stare at the group of ponies. When suddenly, a noise outside, all heads turned to see a green dragon with a smaller purple one on his shoulder, flying and waving at the girls to meet them at the station
“They are nice, they passed by just to say hello” murmured Fluttershy.
“Yep! They’re cool!” nodded Rainbow Dash.
At the station, the mares went out of their cars and were joined by their dragons friends who asked how was their stay and the contest. They told them everything about the dessert investigation and how Twilight and Pinkie have resolved it. Then it was the turn of the elements to ask them some questions.
“So, how was the training today?” asked Applejack. “What did King teaches you, Spike?”
“Well, today… we didn’t practice. I just told to the kiddo to sit and stay focus while I bother him, a banal focus test. Like yesterday, he failed once again but this time he focus for a longer period.” King explained.
The hooded one left the car and stared at the green dragon, suddenly he started to walk then run toward him. When he was about five meters away, he jumped stretching his left leg to kick the head of his target. Impact in 5…4…3…
“And later I was about to make him do his first real f- *SBAF!!*” cried the dragon who was now spread out a few meters away from where he was a few seconds ago.
Everyone around eyes wide open in front of this scene, but the hooded one didn’t stop there, he leapt again towards his victim.
A dozen yards away, King bounced three times on the ground. Once he stop bouncing, he found himself lying on the floor, he leaned on his arm trying to get up.
“You little…” he couldn’t finish his sentence, he saw one yellow scaled foot dangerously close to his face "Uh Oh" he only have time to say. And *RE-SBAF!!* He was powered once again. But this time he crashed against a wall. Once again, when he tried to move, the hooded one prevented him to do so by tackling the green dragon against the wall.
“Hello, honey.” A female voice said coming out from under the hood.
“That voice… Oh no!” thought King. He tried to say something, but lips pressed against his. The eyes of the dragon took an air of disgust; they stayed like that for… two seconds. It was when King felt something trying to go pass his teeth that he tilted and pushed the hooded person to the ground.
“Ouch! That was nasty!” she complains.
“Nasty? Do I need to remind you WHO gave me two kicks on the face? WHO tackled me to a wall and tried to RAPE ME?!” He yelled. And at the same time spatting on the ground.
“Roh! You exaggerate!” the unknown female rapist said standing up.
“Barely! But whatever… What the BUCK are you doing here…” King started. The hooded one removed the hood and threw it away, reveling a face of a scaly yellow female dragon with blue spines. “… Queen?”
In fact, the “Queen” was actually a female dragon medium size with yellow scales and blue spikes almost everywhere on her body. She had a small nose like Spike, a bull small horns and green eyes. She had a row of blue spikes on the top of her skull and on the neck she had a dozen peaks that were placed to look like hair. On her neck, she had a long green scarf with a little bit burnt. She also had a bandage on the chest. She had a golden bracelet on her wrist. Her wings were rather small. And finally, at the end of her tail were four major peaks.
"Why are you so mean with me? You didn’t miss me?" Queen said.
“Nope!”
King’s friends came to see what’s going on. They stood in front of the yellow dragon in attack position. Applejack asked if King was okay, he nodded. Then Spike asked to the enemy her name.
“My name’s Queen.” The yellow dragon answered.
“Why are you here?” yelled Twilight.
“Déjà-vu!” though King.
“Well, it’s obviously to see King.” Queen said, “After all… I’m King’s girlfriend!”
“WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT?!?!” They all screamed, except Spike who only said “Oooooooohh!” while looking at King.
“Hey! EX-girlfriend! EX!!” yelled the green dragon indignantly.
“King, can you make the presentations more properly?” asked Twilight.
“Yeah, I wanna know who are your ponies friends.” Said Queen.
“Ok! Queen, that’s Twilight, Spike, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie. Twilight, Spike, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, that’s Queen.” King said quickly.
“Wait! Does it that mean that we are going to have a new guest to Ponyville?” Wondered Pinkie Pie, “Hurry! I have to prepare the Welcome song!”
“NO! No welcome song Pinkie!” yelled furiously the big dragon, “Okay, Queen, it was nice to see you-“
“Really?” asked Queen, with eyes full of hope.
“No. Like I was saying, it was nice to see you but now, I gonna ask -or maybe force you- to leave, NOW!” growled King.
“Wait King darling! Don’t tell me that you were expecting to kick this girl out after coming all the way here just to see you, are you?” asked the white unicorn.
“In fact, yeah, that's what I had in mind.” Said tranquilly the green dragon.
“How rude! You should be ashamed! Come on, you could at least invite her to your house to spend the afternoon and then ask her to leave.” Proposed the lady.
“B-but…”
When his friends were complain about his manners, like "Roh! And your manners?" or "he’s not very gallant, that!" King began to heat up, plus Queen’s whining, didn’t help. He put a hand on his face, he shook a little, when seeing this, his ex-girlfriend stepped back, suddenly t he raised his head to spit out a good big flame, “SILENT! ” he yelled. All King’s friends remained shocked, they have never seen King like that. Well, it just been a week that he been living in Ponyville. King glared at them for a few seconds, then calmed down, “Fine, let’s do this! Queen!”
“Yes!”
“Follow me! My house is over there, I need to calm down…” he growled.
“Coming!” She said raising her arms, bracelets blinding all the ponies around.
Then the two dragons left the group.
“What was that? Why was King yelling like that?” asked Fluttershy, which had tears on her eyes.
“Ah-Ah don’t know…” whispered Applejack.
“I wanna know more about this.” Said Spike going to King’s house.
In King’s House, Queen sat in the living room while King was in the kitchen preparing tea grudgingly. “For coutesy...” he said to himself. Then he entered the room with a tray where biscuit and tea were present. He handed a cup to his guest.
“It’s emerald tea...”
“Oh! Thanks!”
“I know that emerald is your favourite gem, so that’s it.”
“Oooh, you remember my favorites?” she asked.
“Unfortunately...” he answered while putting a biscuit in his mouth.
They sat silent for a few minutes which look like hours. Then Queen asked if King remembered how they met, he nodded.
“If I remember? Of course I do! It was in Dragon’s Kindergarten, the kids said that we were in love because your name was Queen and mine King, buck this shit... We hated each other because this joke for years!. Who would have thought that we will finally fall in love at highschool...”
“Yeah, it was the good old days.” She smiled.
“Tsss...” he hissed.
“Do you remember the song you wrote for me?” Queen asked.
“Aaah!! Shut up! I don’t wanna remember this!” King yelled.
“How was it already?”
When King sang his song to Queen
“Elle me dit, c’est ta vie Fais ce que tu veux, tant pis Un jour tu comprendras Un jour tu t’en voudras Elle me dit t’est trop nul... ”
“It was so adorable, but I’m still wondering… Why you wrote a song about your mother for me.”
King was on his knees, leaning back with both hands on his face. He screamed: “RRRRAAAARRRRGGGHHHHH!!! I told you to shut up!” He was very embarrassed, but when he heard giggling behind the door he froze. “No, they didn’t dared…” He thought. He approached the door, held out a trembling hand to the handle and grabbed it, he pulled the door in a squeaking sound and then dealt with a group of six ponies and a dragon. They all looked up to the big green dragon. “They dared.”
They remained like that, the dragon glaring at the group, the group staring at the dragon, for 30 seconds.
“Get out of here…” said the dragon finally.
“So…” Began the little dragon with a smile on his face, “A song about your mother for your girlfriend , huh?” He said in a mocking tone and a bit suicidal, but that he didn’t know.
“Hey, that’s odd, for a green dragon like grass, he’s red like tomatoes!” noticed Pinkie Pie.
“GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!!” yelled King.
This time, they fled, leaving the dragon alone in his house. He went back inside. Queen was looking at him with a surprised look.
“Well, you should know that I didn’t come just to have news of you, don’t you?” asked quietly the yellow dragon.
“I know…but my answer is NO! I would not go back to the flock, I quit, okay?”
“But you were one of our best hunters! We need you!” Standed up the female dragon.
“Article 5 of the Noble Dragon Code: ‘If a dragon decides to leave the herd, he has the right to live where he wants and when he wants, he is free but loses the support of his colleagues and they have the right to refuse to help the latter may he requires their help.’ It was a big risk, but it was worth it.” King recited.
“Yes, but in the Article 6 it says that the dragon can come back if he wants.” argued Queen.
“But I don’t.” King said.
“It is also stated in the Article 8 that if the flock needs the deserter, he can be forced to return.”
“You will not force me to return, oh no, lady!” growled the big dragon.
"But why do not come back?! Are you in love or what?" shouted the yellow dragon.
King opened his mouth and closed it immediately. He approached the door, yelled to the group to get the buck out, they obey, he came back and sat on a chair.
“You’re in love, right?” sighed Queen.
“Yeah! So what? Jealous ‘cause it’s not you?” smirked the dragon.
“Yeah, a bit… But seriously? A pony? You had a crush on a pony?”
“Oh, shut up! But it’s not the only reason.”
“Really? So what’s the other reason?” asked the female dragon.HIM! ” exclaimed the dragon being sure that the others were not spying again.
“Him? Who Him? ... Wait, HIM ? That pony-dragon?”
“Yep!”
“C’mon King! You’re still with it? But you know that we, dragons, don’t give a shit about that! What are you trying to prove?” Queen asked exasperatingly.
“That he exists! That he’s not a legend or an old tale! That’s what I’m trying to prove!” King said in a serious tone.
Queen stayed silent in front of so much class. But the moment was very short and she sighed, she said that this was his last chance to return the gentle way, otherwise it will have to be the hard way. The green dragon just smirked.
“For me…” she begged by her sweet eyes.
“No.”
“But whyyyyy? You don’t trust me anymore?” she asked.
“No.”
“Since when?”
“Since you had sex with Garble!”. gasps and "Oooooh, that bitch!" were heard behind the door, King decided to ignore it, “He is five years younger than you and he is not even my friend! Here! It is from that day on, we broke up, and I don’t trust you! I was gone for two days, but your sexual desire was too strong so you just had sex with the last moron on the planet!”
“But I was drunk!”
“Bullshit!”
Silence reigned for several seconds. Queen pouted, then told King that she got a new weapon in her armament. She took two of her spikes from her neck that materialized around the girl’s hand into two metal gloves. The big dragon was first surprised, but his face return to neutral in one second.
"Ah yes, it's true that your capacity was that each peak of your body can be removed to become a weapon, it always surprises me. By the way, what is your nickname? "Arsenal on legs ", is it?” He smirked, “But still, they are cool, the gloves.”
“Thanks, but it’s not the only thing, look!” she exclaimed. Then she spat a blue flame on the gloves and they stayed on it. This time King was really surprised.
“Since when have you learn to do that?” He asked.
"I just recently learned that my flames could stay on my weapons, but not on my body like you, not bad eh?”
“Yeah, not bad…” he said as he approached the door again to tell the group behind it to get the buck outta here.
“King…” Queen called. The concerned stopped but didn’t turn, to deduce from the tone with which it has been called, it must be important, "You know, I really have to bring you back ..."
“I’m not going back, I have already told you.”
“So I gonna force you to come with me!” she said.
King giggled, “Like if you-” he turned but only saw a metal punch surrounded by a blue flame approaching with a dangerous speed to his face. “Aw shit!” he thought.
“Do you hear something?” asked the blue pegasus, sticking her ear against the wood pannel of the door.
Then *BAFF*, and the upper part of the door shattered under the weight of the projected dragon.
“What the…?” said Twilight.
Queen jumped out of the hole and started to run behind King.
“We better get goin’ to see what’s goin’on! Let’s go!” yelled Applejack, and everyone followed her.
King went crashing against a wall, but stood up immediately. A predatory smile on the face, he chuckled.
“Thats right! Come to daddy, baby!” He put his hand on fire and rushed toward his opponent.
The opponents’ fists rattled, the second fist of the female rushed to the male’s face but was countered by the other dragon. King contre-attacked with a punch on the stomach that make Queen step back a few meters. She turns off her flames to gives the gloves their originals forms as peaks and put them back to her neck. Then she pulled the peaks from her elbows which materialized in sabers that she ignited immediately. She rushed again toward her opponent and tried to hurt him but he always dodged every attack. King jumped back. They stared at each other for seconds.
“King!” called Twilight, “Are you-! King?” she exclaimed.
“King, is that you?” asked Applejack.
“He looks like King but in a way, this isn’t King…” Pinkie said in a worried tone.
It’s true that at this moment, King’s eyes were devoid of feelings. The protective aura he exuded during his arrival had disappeared to give place to a serious and scary aura, not a murderous one but scary enough for makes tears appear on Fluttershy’s eyes.
“That’s right! King! Show your scary face to your friends!” Queen smirked.
King stared at his friends then glared at his ex, he did a Dragon Boost in order to be behind the female dragon and grab her scarf.
“Hey!” she yelled.
But the Trainer didn’t listen and did another boost to fly away toward the mountain’s dragon cave, where Uncle Bob were sleeping.
“We will continue the fight over there.” He said.
“King! Wait!” screamed King’s new friends. But it was too late: the dragons were already near the mountain.
“Let’s go and help him!” ordered Spike.
“Wait! We… must think about King, there is something wrong with him…” said Spike’s ‘big sis’.
The green dragon came into full speed in the cave holding his opponent scarf. He braked and threw the girl against a wall of the cavern. He landed on the ground, and threw another look devoid of expression on his opponent.
“Here we can fight freely.” He said moving into attack position.
“Fine.” She put away one of her swords and then remove a spine from her tail which materialized into a dark metal weapon with a little canon, more known to us under the name of: Submachine gun.
“That’s new…” King said raising an eyebrow.
“Be ready King, I’ll not be gentle!” Queen said tending the weapon forwards her.
“I’m always ready.” Answered the green dragon by rushing toward her.
She opens fire on King.
The ponies were talking about the strange behavior of the dragon who had just left.
“I have never seen King looking like that, not even when I fail some exercises…” sighed the little dragon.
“He’s only been here a week. We don’t know him well enough, we know nothing about him ...” said Rarity.
“For me, he’s a great dragon with who I can make tight races.” Said Rainbow Dash.
“I think… We trusted him too soon…” whispered Fluttershy.
“You’re right. It was too soon. He just came here, said that he wanted to live here, teach us things about dragon and train Spike for now four days… What can we do now?” Sighed the purple unicorn.
“Well duh! We just have to ask him some questions about him when he gets back.” Exclaimed the pink pony.
“Ah thin’ that him who’s coming! Look!” Applejack ordered by raising a hoof to the sky where a silhouette of a dragon approached. Everybody looked up. But as the dragon approached, more could see that he was not alone. In fact, four other dragons were with him, "What the ...?” asked the orange mare to herself.
The dragons landed brutally in front of the group. They were each a different color: blue, black, white, brown and gray.
“Don’t forget Queen’s orders! No killing, just hostages to blackmail King!" said the gray dragon who seemed to be the leader of the gang.
“Ooooooooh…” the rest of the group sighed in chorus.
“But she didn’t say we couldn’t hurt.” The gray one said with an evil smile.

Chapter 6: Dragon Fight
Many years before
"Come on kids, today we have a new class mate among us " said calmly an adult female dragon to ten little dragons, “Come on little one, don’t be afraid to introduce yourself.”
A small dragon came from behind one of her leg. He was green with two small misshapen horns and a small green crete, his eyes were orange flame. But there was something odd about him: his beak was a bit too long for his age.
"I'm Kingodonamsumka ..." said the little dragon, "but my family calls me 'King', it’s easier to remember" King concluded by noting that his new classmates were trying very hard to repeat his complicated name.
“Miss Ruby! Kings and queens aren’t supposed to be in love?” asked a child, the mistress nodded, “Then King and Queen are in love!” yelled the same kid pointing to another yellow dragon which has blue peaks and green eyes.
"That's not true!" cried the two dragons at their classmates who were laughing mockingly, while Miss Ruby tried to calm them.
/\/\/\/\/\
A few years later
King was walking quietly when someone called out:
“Hey, Big Nose!”
The green dragon sighed and turns.
“What do you want?”
“Say hello to the Big Nose, that means you.” Queen smiled.
“Yeah, and you? How's it going, breadboard? You drank your milk? Otherwise it will not grow.” King replied with a viscious smile on his face.
“Y-You bastard! Just wait and you’ll see!” Yelled the yellow dragon blushing.
“Yeah right!” smirked again the male.
“Why do you say that in front of everybody? It’s intimate talk, you asshole!”
“’Cause you call me ‘Big Nose’.” King said.
He stood before the house of a friend, his destination. This same friend had a obsesion with doors so instead of having a cave house, he built a brick house and had installed doors everywhere in his home, oh yeah… A really weird dragon. King knocked on the door and he had the permission to enter, he walked in. It was then that he heard Queen called him by his first name, the latter tried to turn around and bumped the tip of his beak with the corner of the door. The pain of the impact was unbearable, King rolled to the ground insulting the door and Queen of all type of names. The female dragon approached the male with a big smile on her face.
“Ooooh, poor little baby ~!” said the yellow dragon with a sarcastic tone, “Your nose is too big, so you bump into every thing around you ~!” she mocked him again while King was glaring at her, “At least, I’m not going to have these kind of problem for some time.”
“You mean never?” said the green dragon, still suffering.
“Shut up!”
/\/\/\/\/\
“You know you’re really starting to piss me off? You and your insult about my horns and beak?” yelled the green dragon.
“Oh yeah? Well you know what? That’s for treating me all the time of breadboard! That’s bucking annoying!” yelled the yellow dragon in return.
“You started this shit!”
“No, it was YOU!” Queen screamed.
“BULLSHIT!!” King shouted.
“WHY YOU’VE BEEN PISSING ME OFF FOR 10 YEARS?!?!”
“MAYBE ‘CAUSE I HAVE A CRUSH ON YOU!!?” answered the male.
“OH REALLY?!? WELL ME TOO!!” shouted the female.
“OH YEAH?!”
“YEAH!”
“FINE!!”
“FINE!!”
“FINE!”
“FIIIIINE!!”
THEN TH- , sorry. Then they stared to each other for looong minutes, under the surprised looks of all the dragons around. They didn’t know what to say.
“How you feel right now?” King asked.
“Like a jackass…” she answered blushing a little.
“Me too…” they stayed silent again, “So… Do you wanna go out with me?” he asked again.
“Okay!”
/\/\/\/\/\/\
A few years later again
“Queen… I heard that you cheated on me… Is that true?” King asked in a very serious tone, sitting on a rock.
“I… I…” hesitated the female dragon.
“Tell me the truth.”
“I-I… Yes… It’s true, I’m sorry King… Very…” she signed with a depressed tone.
“… With Garble?”
“……..Yes…….” Queen answered while tears appeared at the edge of her green eyes.
King stood up and walked away, the yellow dragon called him out asking where he was going, “I’m leaving you”, he replied. Queen froze. He added that he was going to his parent’s ‘house’ which was empty since they died.
Queen sobbed saying that she was sorry but the green dragon ignored her pleas and glaring at her….
“After all that I’ve suffered in recent years ... You had to give me the final blow, huh? Like in college ... " he sighed and left.
Queen stayed there, crying… alone.
“I’m so sorry… I didn’t mean to…”
She shouldn’t have done that.
Present day
Queen holding to her a submachine gun, this latter was pointed at her ex who was rushing on her, fist closed and surrounded by flames. She opens fire on him.
When King heard the shots, he quickly jumped to the side and looked at the bullet’s impacts on the rock of the cave and the canon of the gun.
“Are you crazy? That thing can kill me!” he yelled by pointing at the dark weapon.
“What? Of course not! You’re resistant! You’ll survive all those bullets.” She answered with a laugh while she opens fire again.
“WOWOWOWOWOOOOOOW!!” he screamed running and zigzaging like an idiot to dodge the bullets. “Woman, you crazy!” he yelled while jumping and clinging to the wall. The female dragon ignored him and pointed again to the green one. “That’s enough! Dragon Boost!” he says and a second after, he was behind Queen. He kicked her at the back and took the gun away from her.
“Hey! Gimme back!” she ordered by turning and at the same time, trying to slash him with a sword.
King jumped back avoiding the blade accurately, it cut just his left cheek. Oh god, a scar which will disappear in the next chapter. The male dragon destroyed the gun which turns back into a peak. He threw the spike at the foot of the female. She took it and replaced it.
The two opponents stared at each other a few seconds and then King began to giggle. Queen asked him what was funny. He answered:
“You think I didn’t understand your plan?”
“W-What?” froze the yellow dragon. “He knows about the hostages?” She questionned herself.
“I know that you know that I am easily irritable so you got me pissed off since you came to Ponyville and plus you engaged a fight with me AND you know that when I fight, I fight until the end. SO I know that at a moment you’re going to escape, in order for me to pursue you into an ambush and then capture me!”
“…” Queen said, “WAT?” she thought.
“Hehehe, I’m not fooled! But know that since I started the kiddo’s training, I do yoga every morning to calm my nerves, so I can resist at these childish plays!” exclaimed proudly the green dragon.
The female dragon stayed silent and then said:
“…Big Nose…”
“WHAT DID YOU SAY?!” King yelled by rushing on her, fists in flames again. He tried to give a punch to the female’s face, but the latter leaned back thus dodging the punch and at the same time giving him a knee to the stomach, followed by a rotary kick in the beak. This threw the dragon a few meters away. King rolled on the floor, “Rahahahahahaaaaaaa! My beak! My beak! It huuuuurt!!”
“Ooooh, your nose always bumping into everything, huh?” Queen smiled while the Trainer glared at her.
“And what about you? I see that you still don’t have problem at this level. Eh, Breadboard?” smirked with agony the dragon.
The female had a nervous tic, then a murderous aura surrounded her. Even if King didn’t use his Aura Perception, he could FEEL it. Queen smiled, took her tail and began to caress the four major peaks at its tip.
“Remember what we learn about these peaks?” ske asked.
“Uh… yeah, in each of these peack are four super powerful weapon, but you just have one for now: a giant destructive axe. Man, that was scary!” answered the green dragon by standing up, holding his bleeding beack.
“Well now I have another one, you know.”
“What!? Heyeyey, calm down don’t-…” he started.
“Wanna see?” cut in the female while she took off a majour peack from her tail, which materialized into a giant brown futuristic canon, a blue energy ball started to grow up at the front of the barrel. “I call it: The Ultima Cannon!! ” she exclaimed while pressing the trigger.
The giant energy ball released, started to approach dangerously the green dragon who was frozen in awed at the size of the weapon.
“Oh mama…” he murmured.
From Ponyville, a big BOOM was heard and we could see smoke coming out from the montain’s cave. The gray, white and black dragons were downtown, they looked up toward where the noise came from to see the smoke. The white one exclaimed:
“Damn! Queen used the Ultima Cannon! I don’t wanna know what King said to piss her off like that.” He clapped his hands, “Ok, we continue our mission! Georgio!”
“Si!” exclaimed the gray dragon, probably Georgio.
“Go find the other ponies, but remember not to hurt them! Damn, Blue sucks to remind us that second order! Why the hell Queen must be so pacific with habitant of different country” ordered the white dragon.
“Te lo juro…” (I swear…) answered Georgio.
“Oh and remember too, to bring them to Blue and Krap who are guarding the others hostages.”
“Okay!”
The gray dragon moved on. The leader turn to the black one.
“Okay, Nigga, let’s go find some ponies.”
“What did you say, nigga?!?! ” yelled the black dragon.
“Huh?”
“So what, nigga? You think that cause you white you can direct me as you want? Huh?! Answer the question, bitchass nigga!” yelled again the black dragon.
“What? Dude… Nigga is you’re name, remember?”
“Shut up Mighty! I told ya to call me ‘Dark’!” Nigga shouted.
“But that name sucks! J-Just shut up and let’s go…” Mighty said, “…stupid nigga…” he sighed.
“Did you just call me a nigga, nigga?!”
“Well… Yeah!”
“You dead, nigga!” yelled the black scaled dragon by rushing on his rival. And they start fighting.
The whole cave was in a pitiful state, only Queen was intact, while King… was lying miserably on his back, charred like a piece of charbon. The female dragon ranged the cannon and approached her ex’s body.
“D-Da-Damn! T-Th-That hurt!” He shouted.
“I told you that you were resistent!”
“Oh, shut up!” ordened the green dragon trying badly to stand up.
Once he accomplished the feat to raise, he shook his whole body to remove the coal. Queen reminded him that she told him that she wouldn’t be nice with him! King smiled again, while thinking that; it’s been a long time since he was in a serious fight. He stared at the female and a second later he was behind her, again.
“Shi-“ tried to swore the yellow dragon while trying to take off another one of her peaks.
But too late, King was already attacking her with sequences of mixed martial arts techniques. He concluded the combo with an uppercut which projected Queen some meters away. Her nose and mouth were bleeding.
“Damn! He’s serious now, if it continues like that, I’ll be defeated before the signal… I have to gaing some time!” thought the female dragon, “I know!”
“You- Do you really think you can hide him from your pony friends?” she asked, while she was standing up.
“Eh?”
“C’mon, you know who I mean.”
“I know, I know… But I don’t want to talk about him now, I- I’ll do what it needs to do when the day comes…” answered the green dragon lowering his head.
“Oh yeah? It’s in about twenty days, remember?”
“Shut up!” exclaimed the dragon, “I told ya, I’ll do like usual…”
“Oh, by ‘usual’ you mean running away like hell?” She smirked.
“Shut up! I-… Wait! Why are we talking? We were fighting!” King noticed.
“Shit!”
The male dragon resumed his attack position while the female began to panic in her head. “Ohshitohshitohshit! WHERE’S THE FREAKIN’ SIGNAL? I swear, if I see these guys: they’re dead!”
“Okay, let’s finish this and after, we leave each other go one his way as if you have never come to see me, Okie dokie?” proposed the green dragon.
“Well, my last chance…” Queen thought, she took two other peaks from her neck, they turned into bracelets which immediately positioned themselves on her arms. Then she took off another spine, this one turned into a metal glove. She closed her eyes, and then her body disappeared.
King was surprised again and exclaimed:
“You idiot! I can perceive auras, so I can see yours!” He focused a little and then he could see her aura, “I see you…” he murmured.
Suddenly, he felt something odd behind him, he approached the entrance of the cave, ignoring his opponent, and his attention rested upon Ponyville: the auras of the ponies were there, Spike’s aura too, but five differents auras were here too, they weren’t ponies, it was…
“Dragons… Dragons in Ponyville?! Since when?” King thought
“Honey, over here!” a voice called him out.
He turned back and was punched by a metal glove. “Buck!” he shouted. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. While Queen ordered him to get up and continue the fight, King gave her a gaze of the most deadly. Seeing this, the female asked why this look. The green dragon stood up and began to run towards the entrance of the cave and then flew away, thus outgoing of the den. Leaving the yellow one alone.
“Don’t tell me he saw them!” She mentaly exclaimed. She began to rush toward the entrance, muttering some: “DamitDamitDamitDamitDamit…” she oppened her wings and flew away from the cave. But at the moment that she went outside, something hit violently her back projecting her at full speed towards the foot of the mountain, where she crashed and remained unconscious.
King was above her, about thirty feet, staring angrily at her. But his attention was drawn by two auras, it was Spike and one of the dragons which was approaching dangerously the little dragon. The green dragon flapped his wings and flew to the town.
“Guys, I’m coming!”, “I should stop read some ‘Marvek comics’…” He though.
Meanwhile somewhere in Ponyville
Georgio the mexican gray dragon was walking around between the streets of the town in searcg of pony hostage.
“Poni, poni, poniiii, where are yoooouuu?” he sang while looking at each crossing.
What he didn’t know was that close to him, against a wall, stood a little purple dragon with several scared ponies.
“Okay, here’s the plan: you go to the Sugar Cube Corner where Twilght and the other are, they will protect you. I’d diversion.”
“But Spike…” try to say a green and yellow mane pony.
“Don’t worry Appy, King trained me for this kind of situation: where I must protect my friends! Now go!”
“Be careful Spike!”
And then they leave. Georgio was on another street crossing, he looked right: nothing. He looked left: still nothing.
“Carajo! (Damit!) Where are these ponis!” he exclaimed. He took a few steps and stopped when he saw Spike jumping out of his stash.
“Hey you!” the little dragon called out.
“Un dragón? Here?” asked the gray dragon. “Ah, you must be the Dragón-poni que Garbel told me. Vamos, chiquito, tell me where are the ponis.”
“No! I’ll protect my friends! Even if I must fight you!” yelled the “chiquito” by putting himself in attack position.
The mexican dragon approached the little one, he was two head taller than King. This detail intimidated a bit Spike. Georgio put his finger on the skull of the assistant.
“No puedes vencerme! (You can’t defeat me!) I’m more stronger than you. Just tell me where are the ponis, chiquito!”
“NO!!” yelled again Spike, giving a kick in the shin of the big dragon.
This one began to jump on the spot by holding the hited place.
“PEDAZO DE HIJO DE LA GRAN PUTA!! (YOU PIECE OF SON OF THE GREAT BITCH!!)” screamed Georgio. He stopped and glared at the little dragon, “You’re so dead!”
Spike smiled and told to the gray dragon that King had learned him most of his techniques andhe had learned to inflame his hand without injury. By knowing that, Georgio stepped back. Spike crossed his hands in front of his nose and splat his green flame on it. But when the flames were gone, they didn’t stayed on his hands. The little assistant’s eyes widened.
“What?”
