Rainbow Blitz

Rainbow Dash

“For the last time Rainbow no!” Twilight yelled at her Pegasus friend with glaring eyes.

Rainbow was kneeling on the ground with her hooves together and pleading eyes.

“But Twilight, it could help me.”

“I said no!” Twilight stomped her hoof on the ground for emphases, causing her rainbow friend to flinch a bit.

Rainbow Dash frowned in disappointment as she got up from kneeling. All she wanted Twilight to do was use her magic to help her flying, but according to the unicorn, “It will most likely mess with your body once the spell wears out,” all she wanted to do was fly around and see what some of her tricks would look like if her flying was improved.

Twilight sighed as Rainbow Dash continued to frown

"I'm sorry Rainbow, but I can't risk you getting hurt," Twilight explained bringing a hoof to the rainbow pegasus shoulder. "I hope you understand,"

Rainbow Dash just looked away and gave a quiet "I understand," which the unicorn seemed to accept; giving Rainbow Dash a quick hug before going to the front door.

“Now Rainbow, I am going out to buy some more quills, see you tomorrow,” Twilight said, she walked out of the library, not knowing that her friend had an evil grin.

“Good she’s gone, now I can find a book that will help me,” Rainbow proclaimed and began to search around the library.

30 minutes passed and Rainbow Dash was surrounded by books, she checked all of them, and there was nothing. Many of them had tips and spells, but nothing that she wanted. “These books are useless!” Rainbow yelled and threw the book she was checking in rage, the book hit one of the shelves, causing a domino effect on the books on the top shelf. The effect ended when the last book was hit and fell on her head, than to the floor, open.

“Ow, dumb book, I should-hey what’s this?” Rainbow questioned when she saw a page on the book with some ingredients, under it were the words “improved flying” and her eyes beamed, she found what she was looking for, she grabbed the book and flew to her home, leaving a mess and a purple unicorn.

In her room, she read the ingredients for the potion. “Okay, a scale of a dragon, the red of a rainbow, a tooth from a dragon, a chip from an unicorn’s horn, and a claw from a dragon,” Rainbow scratched her head with her hoof, she wondered why a majority of ingredients came from a dragon? She reasoned that it was because dragons were good fliers and flew out of her room in search for these ingredients.

In Rainbows saddle bag, where a chip from a unicorns horn, she got it from Rarity when she accidently chipped it when she was filling her horn, and a red from a rainbow, which was easy being a Pegasus and all, all she needed now where the ingredients from a dragon, and thankfully Spike was asleep. She snuck into the library into the baby dragon’s room, where he laid sleeping in his basket. Rainbow quietly flew to spike, and got her equipment ready. With her tweezers she got a scale of spike, and with a claw clipper, a claw. Now came the hardest part, getting a tooth. Taking out her pliers, she slowly brought it to Spikes mouth; she was sweating porously, and got hold of one of the fangs.

“I hope the tooth pony, gives me a bit.” Spike said in his sleep, Rainbow’s eyes widened in disbelief, she lifted the pillow and sure enough, there was a tooth. She wiped her brow of sweat and grabbed the tooth, and left a bit there, just for him. She flew out of the house, her face beaming as she flew home.

Rainbow followed the directions, her eyes switching from the book to the pot that was boiling, when the recipe said that it was done, she smiled and pored some of the content into a glass. The liquid was green and had yellow steam coming out of it, and it had the smell of cinnamon buns for some odd reason. Rainbow took the glass, and drank up the liquid, when she was done, she put the glass down and wiped her mouth, surprisingly, it didn’t taste bad, in fact it tasted like lemonade. She smiled and thought of getting something to eat, maybe a ruby or a sapphire. Her eyes widened when that thought came to mind, only dragons ate gems, so why was she craving them? Then suddenly, as if she was struck by lightning, she became stiff and felt pain all over her body.

“What is happening?” she asked herself in her head, her teeth clenched and her eyes closed tight, she felt extreme pain in her wings as her feathers fell off and leather like skin replaced her fur, as four bony appendages grew out, as the same leather like skin stretched with it, giving her dragon wings. She managed to open her eyes and look at the wings in shock; this was not suppose to happen. She painfully walked up to the book and read the title; fear plastered her face as she read it “Dragon Potion”. She backed away as her rainbow tail fell off and her spine grew, and getting covered with muscles, nerves, blood vessels, and finally, blue scales. She didn’t make a potion that helped her fly better; she made one that was turning her into a dragon. But why should she be scared, dragons are more powerful than those puny ponies. She shook her head when those thoughts came to her, she needed to get Twilight and have her stop this. She ran out of the door and flew through the air, her wings held out to help her glide.

Rainbow flew as fast as she could, but because her house was so far away, it would take her forever, it also didn’t help that she felt pain again and was forced to land. Her breathes were getting shallow as her back hooves painfully morphed into clawed feet and her legs were bulging with muscles and covered in cyan scales, she sat on her hunches as her for hooves morphed into clawed hands, and her forelegs reshaped themselves into arms. Tears were welling up in her eyes, but was interrupted when she grabbed her head, her muzzle grew longer and her teeth were replaced with sharper ones, her pupil became a slit and her tongue became forked. She looked at herself and smiled.

“I am looking better than ever,” She said, she shook her head to get rid of the thoughts, but they were getting stronger, and harder to resist. Her mane fell out as her neck stretched, her entire body became covered in cyan scales, and her muscles bulged. From her head to her tail, she grew spines that were multi-coloured and in the order red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet. Rainbow looked at her body, hoping that it was the end, but it was not as she began to grow in size, and she smiled.

“Yesss, turn me into a real dragon,” she hissed, she stopped growing when she was over 50 feet tall. Her mind has also changed, but she was Rainbow Dash, only now she thought of dragons being superior to ponies. She looked over her body and noticed that it was still sleek, and her wings were quite larger, making her still the fastest thing in Equestria, but she wanted to test it out.

Giving her new wings some flaps, she got into the air, and flew off as fast as she could; she did some aerials, and some tricks, and noticed that her new body was not only easier to control, but faster. She landed on the ground and folded her wings. “This is great, and my friends will also enjoy it to,” she thought to herself, but realized that she couldn’t make them drink the potion, so how was she going to spread her gift. She got an idea and flew to her house, knowing that she couldn’t live there anymore, ripped off the roof and gently picked up the book, squinting her eyes, she read something that made her smile, if she got her saliva on anypony, they would become dragons. Her smile widened as she put the book back and flew off to Ponyville, ready to spread her gift.

Author's Note

Well here is the first chapter, I hope you enjoy it.

Butterscotch

Fluttershy

Rainbow was at the edge of the Everfree forest, watching the ponies walk by, and thinking about how she was going to spread her gift.

“I could wait till there asleep, but then they will get suspicious when they see missing roofs and giant holes in the wall,” Rainbow scratched her chin in thought, it was a lot harder than she thought, she went through many idea’s in her head, but none of them would work. If only there was a trick she knew that could help her. The Dragoness smiled in realization, trick, she could trick the ponies to come to her; of course she would find a way to trick them.

“It has to be a pony that is easy to trick, one that will almost believe anything,” as she was thinking, a pack of Timber Wolf surrounded her, most likely to protect their territory. Rainbow rolled her eyes and created a small patch of fire on the ground, the Timber Wolves backed away whimpering, before hightailing out. She stomped out the fire with her hand.

“Ugh, if only I could stop these animals from trying to challenge me,” for the second time that day, she got an epiphany, she knew who was going to be the first. She went backed further into the forest and went off to see a dear friend of hers.
Fluttershy let out a sigh as once again her pet rabbit, Angel, refused to eat his meal.

“Please Angel, it’s good for you,” Fluttershy pleaded, pushing the salad towards the rabbit, only to have it knocked away.

“Angel you must not be so picky,” Fluttershy said, Angel just hopped away, making the Pegasus sigh. She went to feed the other animals, when she noticed that a bunch of animals was running into her home, all with fear on their faces. She became concerned, wondering what was scaring them; cautiously she walked out of her house to see what was scaring them. She stopped in her tracks as she came face-to-face with a giant cyan dragoness smiling at her. Her wings tightly clamped to her body, she was also frozen in place, her wide eyes staring at the dragon.

“Something wrong Shy? Am I scaring you?”

Fluttershy recognized the voice, and the way the dragoness said it, but she hoped it wasn’t so.

“R-Rainbow Dash, i-is that you?”

Rainbow frowned at the name, since she became a dragon; she felt that the name didn’t sound right. But thankfully, she came up with a name that she felt matched her new form. “Sorry Shy, it’s not Rainbow Dash anymore, my name is now Spectrum,” saying that name brought a smile to her face, it sounded so, right to her.
Fluttershy looked at her friend, not believing what she heard, her friend since flight school, turned into a dragon and changed her name.

“Wh-what happened to you?”

“Well Shy, I found this recipe that said that it could help me fly better, but as it turned out, it was a potion that changed me into a dragon, at first I was scared, but then I realized that I was stronger, I could fly faster, and my flying has greatly improved, now I have made it my goal to spread this gift, starting with you,”

“Y-you mean that you’re-“

“That’s right; turn you into a dragon,”

Fluttershy couldn’t believe what she was hearing, her own friend was going to turn her into a dragon, against her will, but she didn’t want to become a dragon.

“N-no, Rainbow Dash, this is wrong,” Fluttershy stammered angrily, her legs shaking in fear.

Spectrum frowned, looking at her friend with sadness. “But Fluttershy, if you become a dragon, you will be able to stand up for yourself, are you sure?”

“Yes, Rainbow Dash, I am sure,”

Spectrum shook her head, she thought that this was going to be easy, that she wouldn’t have to trick Fluttershy, but she had no choice. Noticing the rabbit, Angel, hiding behind a bush, she grabbed the white rabbit with two fingers and brought it to her face.

”Rainbow Dash! Wh-what are you doing!?”

“Simple, I’m hungry, and I’m craving rabbit,” Spectrum said nonchalantly, opening her mouth and bring the rabbit closer to her mouth.

“No, please don’t! “ Fluttershy cried, her eyes began to well up with tears.

Spectrum closed her maw and looked at the Pegasus, “I won’t eat Angel, if I turn you into a dragon,”

Fluttershy didn’t need to think twice as she shouted out “I’ll become a dragon, now please let him go!”

Spectrum smiled, knowing that her trick had worked; everypony knows that dragons ate gems, but if she scared Fluttershy enough, she would forget it. Spectrum but down the rabbit and picked up Fluttershy. “I must warn you, the transformation will hurt,” after her warning, she stucked out her forked tongue, and liked Fluttershy.

Fluttershy stared at Spectrum in surprise, her friend licked her, she was not suspecting this, she saw that she was being lowered to the ground, and Spectrum opened her hand to let her go. Fluttershy wiped some of the saliva off her face, when a great amount of pain wrenched through her body. She fell to the ground as her body shook.

“I told ya that it would hurt,”

Fluttershy didn’t answer, all she could pay attention to was the pain, this also caused her to not notice her entire body being covered in scales, and her mane and tail fall off.

“R-Rainbow Dash, it hurts,” she whispered painfully, her pupils turned into slits as her teeth became razor sharp, she looked at her scaled hooves and thought how they would look with claws. She shook her head to get rid of those thoughts. She felt her spine lengthen into a tail, and her rear hooves turned into claws.

“Fluttershy, how are you feeling?”

“I-I’m feeling great,” Fluttershy eyes widened as she realized that she said that.

Spectrum smiled, “That’s good to hear,”

Fluttershy’s ears shrank until all that were left were holes in her head, and her muzzle grew out more as her tongue became forked. Soon she couldn’t fight the thoughts as she began to accept it. “Please, make me a dragon,” she thought as her feathers fell off and 5 bony appendages grew out of her wings, connected by leather-like skin. Her front hooves turned into clawed hands, and her front legs became arms. The final changes appeared as she began to grow larger, gained more muscle, and grew pink spikes from her head to tail. The transformation stopped as she looked at Spectrum, smiling.

“Thank you Rai-Spectrum, this is great,”

Spectrum grinned as she looked at her friends’ new body. Fluttershy was slimmer, and was not as big as cyan dragoness, her wings were as large as Spectrums, and she had shinier scales. To Spectrum, she would make the perfect mate for a dragon.

“So Fluttershy, ho-“

“Please, don’t call me Fluttershy,”

“Okay, what do you want me to call you?”

“Call me, Gem,”

“Well Gem, how do you like your new body?”

Gem was going to answer, when a branch landed on her tail, causing the yellow dragon to “eep” and lay on the ground, her hands covering her eyes.

Spectrum smiled and shook her head; Gem was still the same, even as a dragoness.

“Gem, go into the Everfree forest and wait for me, I’m going to our friends and give them our gift, and maybe whoever is with them,”

Gem got up and nodded, walking into the Everfree forest, leaving Specrtum to her next target, Sweat Apple Acres.

Author's Note

The second chapter, I hope you like the names I gave them, if you can think of any for the other ponies, please tell me, maybe I'll use them.

Applejack and family

Apple Family

In the fields of Sweet Apple Acres, Applejack and Big Macintosh were bucking the trees, watching the apples fall into the baskets below.

“Well Ah have to say Big Mac, this will probably be the first we have ever gotten done on time,” Applejack said with a smile on her face, and got a simple eeyup from her big brother.

“I wonder how Applebloom is doing with her crusading; I hope she isn’t getting into trouble,”

Big Mac shrugged his shoulders and put the baskets of apples into the cart, ready to take them back to the barn, when he and Applejack heard their little sisters voice. “Big Mac! Applejack, I’m back!”

Not looking towards their sister, Applejack picked up some of the apples that fell out of the cart and threw them back in.

“Howdy Applebloom, how did the crusading go?”

“Oh, we decided to stop being the Cutie Mark Crusaders,”

“Well that’s nice- Wait what!?” Applejack stammered her eyes wide in surprise of the news.

“Yeah, me, Pearl, and Amethyst decided to stop since we can no longer get our Cutie Marks,”

“What are you talking about!? Who is Pearl and Amethyst!? And what...” Applejack was saying, until she turned around and saw a yellow baby dragon with red spines, and wearing Appleblooms bow. Big Mac and Applejacks expressions were one of fright of concern. They were frighten at the fact that their little sister was turned into a dragon, and concerned that she might be hurt.

“Applebloom, are you okay?”

“Sorry Applejack, but its Ruby now, and Ah’m okay” Ruby said with a smile on her face.

“Who-who did this to you Sugarcube?” Applejack asked, getting more frightened by the second.

“It was Spectrum,”

“Who is Spectrum?”

“That would be me,”

Out from behind the apple trees, came a giant cyan dragoness with magenta eyes, she looked down at the apple family, who were wide eyed at the sight. She just smiled and turned her eyes to Applejack.

“Hey Applejack, I see you’re as busy as ever,”

“Th-that voice, it can’t be, Rainbow Dash?”

“I use to be Rainbow Dash, but it is now Spectrum,”

Applejack and Big Mac stared at their once Pegasus friend, eyes wide and mouths open in disbelief.

“What happened to you Rainbow?”

“Made a potion and it turned me into a dragoness,” Spectrum replied nonchalantly.

“And did you do this to my sister?” Applejack asked, pointing her hoof at the yellow baby dragon.

“Yes I did, I promised her and her friends that if they become dragons, they wouldn’t have to worry about not having Cutie Mark,”

“Well you better change her back because Ahrefuse to have a dragon as a sister! It will scare off the customers!” Applejack shouted, she heard some sniffles and stared at the source, and what she saw broke her heart, her little sister was crying.

“You (sniff) you don’t me to be your sister?” Ruby asked, tears staining her scaly face.

It was right there and then did Applejack realize what she just said. She walked to her sister and brought a hoof out to hug her and comfort her, but the baby dragon just slapped the hoof away and ran to Spectrum, burying her face into the cyan dragoness tail.

While the events before was happening, Spectrum jerked back in surprise. She couldn’t believe that she heard her best friend say that she wouldn’t accept having her sister because she was a dragon, and to add insult to injury, she called Ruby an “it” and said she would scare away the customers. She was so shocked by the event that she didn’t notice that Ruby ran to her and began crying in her tail. Spectrum looked at the weeping baby dragon, and then glared at the orange apple farmer.

“Applejack, that was, by far the worst thing you have ever done,” Spectrum growled, wrapping her tail around the baby dragon.

Applejack stared at Spectrum with pain in her eyes, and looked at her brother, who was giving her an angry glare. She felt so bad about what she said, that to avoid the stares, she cowered on the ground and used her hat to cover her eyes.

“Ah’m sorry Applebloom, Ah really am, please I’ll do anything to make it up to you,” Applejack begged.

Spectrum knew that what Applejack said was genuine; she sighed and looked at the two older siblings.

“So you really want to be with Ruby?”

“Yes, Ah do!”

“Well I can turn you and your brother into dragons, so you could stay as a family”

“Please, do it!”

“Alright,” Spectrum picked up the two and licked them both, the lick causing both of them to wipe themselves off of the saliva. She didn’t expect this to happen, what she planned to do was come in with Ruby, trick them by telling them that she would burn down the farm if they didn’t becomes dragons with their sister, and go off. But this was far from that.

Applejack was attempting to wipe the saliva off her face and body. “I told her to turn me into a dragon, not lick me,” she thought. Then as if an anvil fell on her, she fell down in pain; her body was spazzing as her entire body was covered in orange scales. Her snout grew out and her teeth morphed into razor sharp canines. Her pupils became slits and her main and tail fell off.

“You never said that it would be painful!” Applejack yelled, she felt her neck grow and her spine continued to grow until she had a scaly dragon tail. She realized that despite the pain, she felt good, much better than her old pony body. Her hind hooves morphed into clawed feet and her front legs and hooves turned into arms and clawed hands. Her muscles thickened and yellow spikes grew from her head to her tail. She looked over her body and smiled.

“Woo wee, this is mighty nice,”

“It’s not done yet,”

Applejack looked at Spectrum confused, but then felt pain in her shoulder blades; she looked behind and saw two wings growing out. Her jaw was wide open as she gave them a test flap, and sure enough they worked. She grinned and lightly punched Spectrums shoulders.

“Thanks Rai-Spectrum, I feel stronger and better than before,”

“Glad I could help, and I think Big Mac agrees,”

Applejack turned around and saw a huge red dragon, even bigger than she was, and with muscles and wings bigger than hers.

Spectrum looked at the Apple Dragons, she noticed that Applejack had bigger muscles than she did, but her wings were considerably smaller, and Big Mac was even bigger than she was, and was hulking muscles, and huge wings, but she guessed the wings helped him because of the added weight.

“Well Applejack, Big Mac,”

“Actually Spectrum, call me Amber,”

“Okay and what about you Big Mac?”

Big Mac rubbed his chin in thought and gave his answer.

“Steel,”

“Okay, Amber, Steel, take Ruby into the Everfree Forest, find Gem, and wait for me there,”

“Um Spectrum, what about Granny Smith?”

“Sorry Amber, but I think the pain of the transformation would be too much for her, but I know the citizens of Ponyville
will help her,”

“I hope your right,”

Spectrum flew off, leaving the three siblings.

“Well you heard her, let’s go into the Everfree Forest,” Amber, went to pick up Ruby, but the baby dragon back away angrily and went to Steel. This left her heart broken, and it was made worse when Steel picked Ruby up, put her on his back, and then hug his neck. Her head hung low as they walked into the forest.

Ebony

Thorn

In the Everfree Forest, Gem was lying down on the wet ground, waiting for Spectrum and her friends to show up. “I hope they come soon, I don’t want to be here,” she whimpered, she may be a dragon, but she held her personality of when she was the Pegasus Fluttershy, so she was scared of the forest like before.

Each time a branch cracked or an animal made a sound, Gem would shiver and cover her eyes with her clawed hands , of course because of her large body, most creatures stayed away from her. But it didn’t stop larger creatures from attacking her, as she was about to find out.

Gem’s head perked up when she heard thundering footsteps getting louder, she turned her head and stared at the direction of the sound, her body tense. Not knowing whether to fly or fight.

The creature came out of the tree line to reveal a hydra. Its four heads hissing and glaring at the dragoness. Since it has multiple heads, strength, and it could live in water, it was the only beast that could stand against a dragon, as it could watch in all directions for attacks, could hide in the swampy waters for a surprise attack, and it could easily over power a dragon. This hydra knows how dragons fight, because of its many scars and blisters from the fire, but it knew that it was lucky this time since the dragoness in front of it was shaking in fear.

Gem shook at the sight of the hydra, she had no idea what to do, she could only back away as the hydra got closer. She closed her eyes, expecting the worse, when a deafening roar above caused her and the hydra to look for the source of the noise. Gem saw an ebony coloured coloured dragon dive right into the hydra and growled, barring his sharp teeth.

The hydra was confused at the sudden appearance of the black dragon, but it didn’t let it bother it as one of its heads head butted the dragon in the stomach, causing the dragon to stagger a bit, giving the hydra time to get up. The hydra and the dragon where now having a stare down, to see who would attack first, but a loud roar caused them to look at the source, and what they saw were the scariest pair of eyes they have ever seen.

Gem stared at the hydra and the dragon, her mind an ocean of thoughts of what to do. One thought was quickly taking over and causing her to let loose a low growl in her throat, attack the hydra, and help the dragon. She gave off a terrifying roar, with her eyes going into “the stare”, the dragoness slowly walked up to the hydra, black smoke released through her jaw and nostrils, who was backing away. It’s four heads trying to look away, but couldn’t resist the power of her stare. Her snout went against the hydra’s, and she spoke in a booming, yet feminine voice. “You better leave, or I’ll help the dragon to injure you,”

Even though what Gem said wasn’t that threatening, but the way she stared at the hydra, it seemed that she was going to kill it. So without a second thought, the hydra ran off into the forest, leaving the two dragons alone.

The ebony dragon stared at the dragoness, surprised that she could scare a hydra just by staring at it; his eyes averted to the dragoness flank, and gave a light smirk. “Well that was good, for a pony that just became a dragon,”

Gem stiffened, her eyes widened, and her body shook.

“How-how did you know?” she asked, her voice shaky.

“Well unless those three butterflies on your flank is a birth mark, than you were once a pony,”

Gem turned her head around to see if what the dragon said was true, and low and behold on her flank, was her Cutie Mark.

“I-I thought the transformation got rid of it,” Gem said, her voice shaking. This caused the ebony dragon to be concerned.

“Why would you want to get rid of it? Isn’t it part of who you are?” he asked, he went in front of Gem, to get a better look at her.

“But I’m a dragon now; I have no use for my talent,”

The dragon couldn’t believe what he was hearing, here was this dragoness, who had a talent that no other could have, and she wanted to get rid of it? He opened his maw to say something, but was interrupted by the sudden shaking of the forest floor.

“Oh great, are more hydra’s coming?” the dragon asked, he got into a defences stance and flared his wings out, ready to attack, what he saw coming out of the forest were three dragons. An orange dragoness, a yellow baby dragon, and a huge red dragon, his eyes continued to stare at the red one, as this dragon made him look like a small fry.

“Sorry about scaring y’all, we just have to find a friend of ours,” the orange dragoness said in a country accent, the red dragon beside her just let out a “Eeyup” and proceeded to stay silent.

Gem stared at the three newcomers with eyes wide in realization that the orange dragon was actually a friend of hers.

“Applejack, I’m glad you found me, and I see that Applebloom and Big Mac are with you,”

“Well Fluttershy, or should Ah say Gem, we don’t go by those names anymore,Ah’m Amber, my big brother is Steel, and my little sister is Ruby,” Amber introduced herself and her family.

Ruby on the other hand noticed the black dragon and couldn’t help but ask who he was.

“Who are you?”

“My name is Thorn, and if you are wondering why I am talking to your friend here, well she and I had a bit of trouble with a hydra,” Thorn explained, the three Apple Dragons jaws dropped at the news.

“You fought a hydra!? That is so cool!” Ruby yelled.

Thorn smiled at the baby dragon enthusiasm and shook his head.

“Actually Gem stared it away, I guess her cutie mark represents how she can talk to animals,”

Amber eyes widened. “Wait, Cutie Mark, but we don’t have Cutie Marks,”

“Well sorry to say, but you do, so I guess you three were also once ponies?” Thorn asked, the reaction he got was the two older dragons looking at their flank, and seeing their talent.

“Ah don’t understand? Spectrum never told us that we would keep our Cutie Marks,”

“Spectrum? Who is Spectrum?” Thorn asked, suspicious.

“Spectrum is a friend of ours, she was a Pegasus named Rainbow Dash, but after drinking a potion, she turned into a dragon, and now she is turning all of Ponyville into dragons,” Gem explained, she immediately regretted it, when Thorn looked at them like they were crazy.

“And you are allowing this! If word gets to Princess Celestia that Ponyville suddenly lost its entire population, she will send a search team, and when she finds out that it was a dragon, well, you know what will happen,”

The four pony turned dragons were stunned, they didn't even think of that. Now they were in trouble.

“Don’t y’all worry, I think once she gets the last three of our friends, she will come to see if we are all right, than we can convince her to stop,” Amber pointed out.

Thorn just lowered his head. “I hope your right Amber, I hope your right,”

Author's Note

What's this, a chapter that does not have Rainbow Dash aka Spectrum, and it also doesn't contain a transformation, what is the world coming to!!??

Berry Bubble

Pinkie Pie

In Ponyvilles famous bakery shop, Sugarcube Corner, Pinkie was taking care of the baby twins. Ever since the babies came, her responsibilities has doubled, but the energetic pony didn’t care, to her it was fun.

“Where’s Pinkie Pie? Here I am!” Pinkie was playing the usual game of “Where’s Pinkie Pie” with the twins, who still laugh whenever the pink pony jumped out from behind the door.

“Pinkie Pie! Can you come down here!?” Mrs. Cake yelled.

“I’ll be down in a minute!” Pinkie yelled back, she looked at the baby twins and smiled, “I’ll be right back,” she said to the twins and bounced down the stairs.

“What do you need Mrs. Cake?”

“I need you to help out our customer,” Mrs. Cake answered, pointing at the dark orange baby dragon at who was standing behind the counter. She was on the tip of her toes, trying her best to look over the counter, until finally she grabbed a stool to stand on.

“Hi Pinkie, my name is Amethyst,” Amethyst smiled.

“Wow, how did you get that look Scootaloo?” Pinkie Pie asked.

“Wait how did you know that it was me?” Amethyst asked.

“Silly Scootaloo, I could tell that it was you by the colour of your scales are the same colour as your fur, the spines are the same colour as your mane, your eyes are still the same colour, and your voice is still the same,” Pinkie answered smiling.

Scootaloo stared at the pink pony in disbelief, but shook it off, remembering that this is Pinkie Pie.

“So, where did you get that costume?”

“This isn’t a costume, I am now a dragon,”

Pinkie laughed at the the baby dragon.

“That’s a good one Scootaloo,”

“My name is Amethyst, and I’m not joking, watch,” with that she took a deep breath and blew orange fire at the center of the room, she looked back at Pinkie, who was staring at her with wide eyes and mouth gaped open.

“That was so cool, do it again, but on this candle,” Pinkie took out a candle.

Amethyst rolled her eyes and blew fire on the candle, causing the wick to burn with an orange fire.

“You really are a dragon, how did you become one?” Pinkie asked excited about the event she just saw.

“I’ll show you, follow me,”

“Okie dokie lokie, Mrs. Cake i’m going out with Scoot... Amethyst!” Pinkie yelled.

“Okay Pinkie, just make sure to come back,”

“I will!”

With that Pinkie followed Amethyst outside to see how Amethyst turned into a dragon.

After 30 minutes of walking, Amethyst led Pinkie to the Cutie Mark Crusaders club house.

“So is there a flower that did this, or did Sweetie Bell learn a new spell?” Pinkie asked, literally bouncing in excitement.

“To answer those questions, that will be a no for both,” a female voice answered, suddenly a cyan dragoness landed in front of Amethyst and Pinkie, Amethyst smiled at the dragon, while Pinkie was staring at the dragoness with wide eyes.

“Wow Dashie, you’re a super, duper, big dragon!”

“Yes I am Pinkie... Wait, how did you know that it was automatically me?” Spectrum asked.

“Don’t ask, she will tell you what she told me,” Amethyst said just in time before Pinkie could ask.

“Okay, now Pinkie I am no longer Rainbow Dash, I am now Spectrum,” Spectrum introduced herself. Now Pinkie was being worried about her friend.

“Dashie, why are you saying that?”

“Pinkie stop calling me that,” Spectrum said, getting irritated.

“But Dashie...”

“I said to stop calling me that, Rainbow Dash is dead!” Spectrum roared.

Pinkie’s ear drooped and her eyes were beginning to tear up, she couldn’t believe that her friend and prank buddy would yell at her.

“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to,” Pinkie sutured, almost on the verge of tears.

Spectrum winced at the sight of her friend, this was the second time somepony cried, the first being Ruby, and now Pinkie.

“No, I’m sorry Pinkie, I didn’t mean to yell at you,”

“Are- are you telling the truth?”

Without thinking Spectrum licked Pinkie, somewhere in the back of her mind, she knew that this was used on baby dragons to cheer them up. “Yes Pinkie, I am telling the truth,”

Pinkie smiled, accepting the apology, but suddenly she was hit with intense pain.

“Dashie, it hurts,”

For the first time today, Spectrum said something that she never thought she would say. “I’m sorry Pinkie, I didn’t mean to,”

Pinkie fell on her haunches as her mane and tail fell off, and a long scaly tail grew in it’s place, her teeth became sharp and carnivorous, and her tongue became forked.

“Da-Dashie, please make it stop,” Pinkie begged, her pupils now slitted.

Spectrum wrapped her tail around the changing pony and nuzzled her with her snout.

“I can’t Pinkie, just try to ignore the pain,”

Pinkie cracked a smile, she was glad that she had Spectrum as the leader of the dragon pack, that thought went unquestioned as her body was covered in scales and her forelegs morphed into dragon arms. Two bumps appeared on her shoulder blades, then erupted into two pink leather like wings.

Spectrum stared at her changing friend with regret, she didn’t want it to happen like this, she didn’t mean to make Pinkie cry, and she felt extremely bad about it, she felt like she made a member of her pack sad.

Pinkie felt her hind legs transform into dragon legs with claws, her neck stretched, and her ears shrunk right into her head, and her muzzle lengthened into a snout. The final change appeared when her body began to grow and her muscles thickened, till she was just as big as Spectrum.

Pinkie gasped and stared at Spectrum.

“Pinkie are you okay?” Spectrum asked, worried.

“Yes Specty, I am, and call me Rose now,” Rose answered.

“That’s good to hear, now go to the Everfree Forest with Amethyst and stay with Gem and everydragon else, I still have to get Rarity and Twilight,” Spectrum ordered.

“Okie Dokie Lokie,” with that Rose flew into the forest, leaving Spectrum behind.

“I hope my friends are alright,” Spectrum said to herself.

Elusive and Dusk Shine

Rarity and Twilight Sparkle

In the Carousal Boutique, Rarity was making a new line of dresses for Saphire Shores, while Twilight was reading a book, and Spike was busy gawking over Rarity.

"Ah, things are going quite nicely, ever since the wedding, many of Canterlots elite have been ordering dresses and suits from me," Rarity said to herself smiling, while putting some of the finishing touches on the dress she was currently working on.

Humming to herself, she did not notice the door open until she heard her little sisters voice.

"I'm back Rarity!"

"That's good darling, have you had something to eat!?" Rarity called back to her sister without even looking away.

Spike noticed a new smell in the room, he took a couple of whiffs and his eyes narrowed.

"Twilight,"

"Yeah Spike?"

"There's another dragon in here,"

Twilight gave her dragon assistant a questioning look, as far as she knew, there were no any other dragons in Ponyville.

"No Rarity I didn't, but I'll just have some gems if you don't need them!" The younger voice answered.

"No I'm not using them... Wait eat the gems!?" Rarity yelled.

The resulting answer from Rarity's little sister caused all three heads to turn, causing them to see a baby white dragon with two small horns on her head, light purple scales, and green slitted eyes. Rarity stared in shock at the dragon, while Twilight was trying to figure everything out in her head, and Spike noticed that the baby dragon in front of him, looked cute. (That's right I just said that, what are you going to do?)

"Sw-Sweetie Bell, i-is that you?" Rarity asked, stuttering.

"I actually go by the name Pearl now," Pearl said smiling.

"Sweetie Bell, how did this happen to you?" Twilight asked.

"I'll show you three what happened, follow me," Pearl said and walked out of the Boutique, with the two unicorns and dragon following her.

Spike ran up to Pearl, blushing.

"So, I-i see that your a dragon now,"

"Yeah Spike, I am," Pearl said, also blushing.

"W-well you do look cute," Spike complimented, causing the white dragons face to turn bright red.

"T-thank you Spike," Pearl didn't know why, but when Spike complimented her, she felt happy, no, she felt like someone cared for her.

Spike on the other hand, was freaking out.

"Gah! Why did I say that, I love Rarity, not her little sister, Rarity is the beautiful pony I have ever see, while Pearl is, makes me feel warm inside, and she is cute... No Spike, you like Rarity, Rarity!" He thought angerly.

Rarity couldn't help but smile at the two baby dragons.

"Don't they look so cute together Twilight?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, they kind of do," Twilight answered honestly, hoping that Spike has finally gotten over his crush with Rarity.

After walking for some time, Pearl led the three to Fluttershy's cottage.

"So what are is here that turned you into a dragon?" Twilight asked. She noticed that all the animals were gone, and that she didn't see Fluttershy anywhere.

"Good job Pearl, you got the last of my friends," a voice said, and out from the Everfree Forest, was a giant cyan dragon.

Twilight, Rarity, and Spike all got into defensive positions, or rather Twilight got into a defensive position, Spike hid behind Twilight, and Rarity just stood in place.

"Whoa, calm down Twilight, nopony else was defensive with me," the dragoness said.

Twilight stared at the dragoness, realizing that the voice sounded very similar.

"Rainbow Dash?"

"Yep Twilight, it's me,"

"What happened to you?"

"Well Twilight, it was a potion that I found in your library," Spectrum answered, smiling at the face Twilight was now making, a face of shock and fear.

"No that can't be, I didn't even know that potion even exists," Twilight said nervously, how was she going to explain this to Princess Celestia? She felt a hoof on her shoulder and saw Rarity looking at her with worried eyes, she then looked to Spectrum and spoke.

"So Rainbow Dash-"

"Spectrum, I go by Spectrum now,"

"Spectrum, what are you planning to do?"

Spectrum chuckled, causing the two mares to look confused.

"The same thing I did to our friends, Big Mac, and the Crusaders, turn you into dragons," Spectrum answered.

"You can't just do that Spectrum, we won't let you!" Twilight yelled, her horn glowing in purple magic.

"But Twilight if you become a dragon, you will no longer have to worry about check lists, reports, or even being late for something, you would be free," Spectrum pointed out, she then turned to Rarity, "And you, you will no longer be stressed about designs or dresses, and you can still be with your little sister,"

Twilight and Rarity stared at each other, they knew what Spectrum said was true, but they didn't want to become dragons, they still had lives and family.

Spectrum took this chance and grabbed the mares, and gave Twilight a quick lick, and Rarity a big slobbery one, then put them back down.

"By Celestia that is by far the most revolting thing that you have ever done!" Rarity scolded the cyan dragon in front of her.

"Sorry Rarity, but it was the only way that I could turn you two into dragons.

The two mares stared at Spectrum, but was than hit by a huge wave of pain, causing them to fall on there haunches.

"Spectrum, please make this stop," Twilight begged. Spectrum just shook her head.

"Sorry Twilight, but I can't,"

The two mares felt their horn split into two and move to the opposite side of their heads, and curl upwards a bit. Their pupils became slitted and their teeth became carnivorous. Muscles bulged all over their body, and a pair of wings grew from there shoulder blades.

Spike watched as his crush and his mother figure turn into dragons, horrified that they were becoming dragon, but yet he was happy at the same time, because he knew that he and Rarity would not be separated by species.

Twilight stared at Spectrum with anger while her fur transformed into scales, how dare her friend turn her into a dragon, she would teach her a lesson.

Rarity felt oddly more beautiful as her forelegs morphed into arms with clawed hands, in fact, she couldn't wait to become a full dragon.

While Rarity was being covered in scales, Twilight's forelegs morphed into arms with clawed hands. Both their hind legs became dragon legs with clawed feet, and their mane and tail fell out, and grew a scaled tail. Twilight grew lavender spines, while Rarity grew purple spines across their back. Their necks lengthened, and then they grew, till they were about the same height Spectrum.

"So how do you two feel?" Spectrum asked.

"Why I feel absolutely perfect Spectrem, and I think I'll call myself, Sapphire," Sapphire answered smiling.

"And what about you Twilight?"

Twilight glared at Spectrum with fire in her eyes.

"It's Violet now, and you should mind your own business," Violet said, causing Spectrum to recoil, what caused her to become angry, out of everypony that she turned, Violet was the first that was mad at her.

"Well I think we should go into the forest now to meet the others, follow me," Spectrum said.

"I think I can find them on my own, come along Spike," Violet said while going right past Spectrum.

Spectrum, Pearl, and Sapphire stared at Violet with confusion, wondering why Violet was so angry.

"Uh.. You three go on without me, I'll follow you soon," Spike said.

Spectrum nodded in response and walked away, Sapphire followed, with Pearl on her back.

Spike ran into Fluttershy's cottage, found some paper and a quill and wrote on it, he then blew fire on it and sent it to Celestia, he ran out of the cottage and into the Everfree Forest.

In Canterlot, Celestia was looking over some reports when a letter appeared in front of her, she opened it, expecting it to be a friendship report, but what she read caused her eyes to widen.

"Luna!" Celestia called out, and through the door Luna came barging in.

"What is it Tia?"

"We are going to Ponyville,"

Luna stared at her older sister.

"Why Tia, is something wrong?"

"Yes, Rainbow Dash found your creation," Celestia said, Luna's eyes widened in fear.

"You don't mean she found-"

"Yes, she found the Dragon Potion,"

Author's Note

Only one chapter to go, and a twist at the end.

Questions, answered. A new pack, formed. A new journey has begun.

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.
