Answers, and a New Pack

Celestia and Luna arrived at Ponyville, with a hoof full of guards, to Find Spectrum, her friends, and the recipe.

The first place they searched was Rainbow Dash's house, where they found the roof torn off, a pot with the potion, and the book with the recipe.

When Luna's eyes saw the recipe, all the memories she kept locked broke out.

Luna, plus some other unicorns, created the potion as a way to defeat Discord, as it turned out that dragons were immune to every type of magic that effects them. But they made a fatal mistake, the potion was painful to the ponies, in fact, many of them died from the pain. They also began to think like dragons, and they could spread it to other ponies, but thankfully, those who were changed into dragons by the ones who drank the potions, could not change others. Soon Celestia and Luna saw that many ponies were being turned into dragons, and the pony population was decreasing, and of course, Discord took advantage of this. So the two princesses had no choice but to make an antidote, and banish all those who refused to take it. Than Celestia ordered that all recipes were to be burned. But it seemed that they missed one.

"Luna, are you okay?" Celestia asked, noticing that Luna was just staring into space.

"Sorry Tia, I was thinking of what I've done,"

"No, Luna, you didn't know that this would happen, you shouldn't blame yourself," Celestia reassured her younger sister, who gave a small smile.

A pegasus guard flew to the princess and bowed.

"We have searched all over Ponyville, it seems that the letter was right, the Elements of Harmony, three fillies named Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, and Applebloom, and a stallion named Big Macintosh have not been seen for hours, Equestria just gained 10 new dragons," the guard informed.

"How are their families handling this?" Celestia asked.

"The Bell family is in denial, the Cake family have closed down the bakery to be alone, Ponyvilles orphanage is saddened by the fact that Scootaloo is gone, and Granny Smith..." the guard stopped talking, as if afraid to say the next thing.

"What is it, what is wrong with her?"

"Granny Smith is in crital condition, the news caused her to have a heart attack and is now in Ponyville Hospital, thankfully all of Ponyville is going to help on the farm," the guard said.

Celestia shook her head, she did not know that this would cause the old mare to go to the hospital, but she was thankful that Ponyville decided to help on Sweet Apple Acres.

"Thank you, you may now leave,"

The guard bowed and flew off, leaving the two sisters alone once agian.

"Tia, we should go and find the recipe for the antidote," Luna informed her sister.

"If we even still have it, I lost when when I cast Nightmare Moon away," Celestia said, her form sulked.

"But we must find it Tia, we can not have Rainbow Dash turn anymore ponies into dragons,"

"You are right Luna, let's get to the chariot, we must find the antidote,"

Deep within the Everfree Forest, Spectrum, Violet, Sapphire, Pearl, and Spike were all walking to where they would be meeting up with the rest of her friends.

"So Spectrum, what are the names of our friends now?" Spike asked.

"Well Fluttershy is Gem, Pinkie Pie is Rose, Applejack is Amber, Big Mac is Steel, Applebloom is Ruby, and Scootaloo is Amethyst," Spectrum answered, seeing that Spike was nodding. She turned to Sapphire and Pearl,, and saw Pearl sleeping on Sapphires back. She turned to Violet, but regretted it, as Violet stared at her with fire in her eyes, Spectrum still didn't know why Violet was angry.

Spike was busy staring at Sapphire and Pearl, Sapphire looked beautiful, her scales were sleek and smooth, and her muscles weren't that big, so it gave her body a slim appearance. Pearl on the other hand, was cute and nice to the the purple dragon. Spike was constantly trying to stop staring, but he couldn't.

Soon the 5 dragons got to the clearing, where all of Spectrums friends were waiting, along with a mysterious ebony dragon.

"Uh, who is that?" Spectrum asked, pointing at the male dragon.

"That sugarcube, is Thorn, he helped save Gem from a Hydra, and he wants to talk to you," Amber answered.

Thorn got up and walked to Spectrum, his red eyes meeting hers.

"Spectrum, I heard that you have been turning ponies into dragons, and I am going to tell you this just once, stop at once," Thorn demanded.

Spectrum flared her nostrils, who was this dragon to say that she couldn't continue her job, but than she realized something, how did Thorn know.

"Okay Thorn, how did you know that I was turning ponies into dragons, and why should I stop?"

"I know because you and your friends still have Cutie Marks, and if you don't stop, the princesses will find out and most likely stop you, and they won't ask,"

Spectrum stared at Thorn in disbelief, than at her flank, and sure enough, she still had her Cutie Mark, she stared back at the dragon and glared.

"Look here Thorn, I am doing this, it is so much better to be a dragon, instead of a pony, now you better leave or else I'll-" Spectrum threatened, but noticed a new smell in the air, looking up she saw a squadron of Pegasus guards and a chariot with the princesses in it.

"Buck, the royal guards are here, how did they find out?" Spectrum asked, growling.

"Ah don't know, but we need to get out of here," Amber said quietly.

"I can help all of you, I can lead you to the Dragon Lands, once you are there, Equestria can not harm us, but I will only do this if Spectrum promises one one," Thorn said, all the dragons stared at him.

"And what is that?" Spectrum asked.

"You will not turn ponies into dragons along the way,"

Spectrum stared at him. than looked away to think, she wanted to spread it, but she wanted to keep her friends safe. After thinking for a minute, she turned back to Thorn. "I promise,"

"Good, now we must stay as a pack, to keep us safe, now we need an Alpha male and Female,"

"Thorn should be the Alpha Male, since he knows the way," Sapphire pointed out, all the dragons nodded.

"Okay, and Alpha Female?"

"I-I think it should be Spectrum," Gem said, Spectrum was surprised.

"I second that thought,"

"Ah, Agree,"

Spectrum stared at her friends confused.

"Why me?"

"Well Spectrum, when you turned us into dragons, you felt like a leader to us," Sapphire explained.

"Okay, it is all settled, follow me everydragon, it is going to be a long trip," Thorn said, walking deeper into the forest, with Spectrum beside him. Soon everydragon followed, but at the back, Violet glared at Spectrum, and growled.
