It was your average day in Ponyville and. The birds were singing with Fluttershy, the Apples were in the fields harvesting crops in the field, the Cakes were baking fresh bread while Pinkie Pie watched Pumpkin and Pound Cake, Rainbow was sleeping on a cloud, and of course Twilight was studying the art of organization.
"Agh! Twilight you've read that book like a bazillion times! It's amazing you can't recite it word for word," groaned Spike.
"Well, I can't help it if is such a good book", she replied excitedly.
"Yaa, a really good” but before he could finish his sarcastic comment he let loose a mighty belch and inadvertently releasing a scroll from Princess Celestia.
"Huh, that's weird it's bright red scroll with the royal seal.” He looked around for a moment. “must be important". Spike said curiously.
"Well, let's find out". Twilight said while picking it up with her magic. "Ahem:
"My faithful student: the dragons are migrating out of season. There are massive amounts of strange new dragon species I have never seen before and also other mysterious bests migrating with them. Unfortunately, that is not all. Unlike in previous migrations, they have been choosing to roost within pony villages. Thankfully, there have been no reports of violence or unrest aside from the initial panic at their arrival. Judging by their current course, they will arrive in Ponyville within a matter of days. Should you have the opportunity, I would request that you investigate the situation. Sincerely, Princess Celestia."
Twilight dropped the letter and as she rushed for the door. She called over her shoulder. "Spike! Prepare the observation equipment from the last dragon migration,"
"Will do," he called after her.
As Twilight leaves Spike to gather the necessary equipment, Twilight went to gather her friends. Being the closest, she immediately went to find Pinkie pie who should be at Sugarcube corner. But as luck would have it, she happened to stumble upon a certain sleeping pegasus, napping in the clouds.
"RAINBOW DASH!" Twilight yelled, arousing the pegasus from her slumber.
"HU-WHAT!” Rainbow looked around, trying to find the pony to inflict her wrath upon them before they run off. Looking down, she saw the attacker of her sleeping kingdom in the clouds. “Twilight, why'd you wake from me from my nap?" The cyan Pegasus responded with a huff.
"No time! Just gather everyone for an emergency meeting". The purple mare responded before rushing off to sugar cube corner.
"Well, might as do and see what the egg-head wants this time". The pegasus sighed.

"Ok sugarcube we're all here so tell what's going on," questioned Applejack.
"Princesses Celestia has bestowed us with the task of investigating a very peculiar out of season dragon migration".
In response to the mere mention of huge, fire breathing, gobble a pony in one bite, scary dragons a yellow Pegasus pony vanished.
"So what Twi, all kinds of animals do weird stuff once in a while, like when a bear asked Fluttershy and me to watch his cave for a week," Rainbow Dash stated bluntly.
"But that's not the weird part. It is that they are flying through heavily populated places like Las Pegasus and other villages, even resting in them, and there's been no violence, no damage, no… no nothing!"
While the others let it sink in, she continued. “But it gets even stranger. There are even dragons and creatures that have never been seen by anypony or even the princesses, all traveling together for some reason. "
"So do we get name some dragons Twilight," asked Dash as she flew muzzle to muzzle with the lilac unicorn.
"Well most likely, bu…"
"Sweet” Dash said, her excitement making her float a few feet off the ground. “I'm goanna makes awesome names for 'em like, uh, Starburst Twister, or um, Fiery…"
"Dash! Focus! First, we need to prep the town first", scolded the violet mare.
"Applejack is the trench from last time still available?"
"Sorry sugarcube, but the mayor had us fill up the hole, on the account of it being a safety hazard"
"For the love of...," Twilight grumbled. "Alright, we'll have to get some ponies to help to have it re-dug. We only have a few days. Rarity can you make us some camouflage clothes to help us get close?"
"Of course darling, I'll have the stealthiest dresses ready before you can blink!"
"Pinkie Pie, Rainbow I need you two to warn the town and let them know the dragons will be passing through.” She stopped, remembering exactly what she wanted going around. Then she remembered who she designated this task to, and elaborated. “JUST passing through".
"On it!"
“Okie dokie Loki."
"Fluttershy… Fluttershy? Ugh," Twilight gowned as she looked at the pink-haired Pegasus hiding behind a bookshelf. "Fluttershy please come out, we need your help."
"Nnn-ooo Twilight, I really don't like big scary dra- dra- dragons," the pegasus whimpered.
Twilight simply sighed. She knows exactly how far Fluttershy would go to stay as far away from anything dragon-related (except maybe Spike). A different approach, or a guilt trip would be necessary. Being a good friend, Twilight chose the former option. "Fluttershy we need your help and besides these dragons aren't hurting anypony, heck from what the princess tells me there wasn't even a single pony harmed. The only signs they were even there was their snoring, flatten grass and moved stones if anything their as docile as Spike” ‘I sure as Tartarus hope so’, she thought.
"Well, if you say so Twilight. I'll go with you if you insist.
"Thank you, Fluttershy. Your affinity for animals will make this task much easier".
5 days later
Just before 7:00am, the main six were walking towards the ditch with, Fluttershy bringing up the rear along Spike with a little red wagon stuffed with goodies and equipment.
"So Twilight," asked Spike. "How long do we have to wait for the dragons and the other creatures show up?"
"Hopefully not long its only early morning and the reports from Celestia said they passed Appaloosa 2 days ago so they should come here soon".
"I sure as heck hope so! I spent the last 2 days making up awesome new names for those dragons" Rainbow dash piped up. Twilight noticed Rainbow was making names for creatures she’d never seen, and logic proves the names might not fit, but it was best to leave that be.
Almost out of nowhere a dull thunder came approaching from the south, causing ponies to bar their doors and windows with gusto. Before long the ponies and their hometown, Ponyville were surrounded by nature's killing machines.
There were dragons of all shapes and sizes, along with strange creatures they could hardly recognize. Some looked like wolves, others lions that looked like trees, and griffins of stone, sand and gems the rest were too bizarre to be described.
Fluttershy just stared in horror, too scared of the surrounding creatures to even faint. Dash and Applejack just hugged each other in fear while Twilight and Rarity stared in wonder at the creature's diversity and beauty. And just as Celestia predicted, the beasts and dragons landed without so much as damaging a single shingle on a house.
"By Celestia they're beautiful!" Rarity barely able to control the tears pouring down her face from the creatures beauty.
"WOW LOOK AT AL-*MPH*" was all Spike could get out before five pairs of hooves covered his mouth.
"Shhhh! Are you trying to get us killed Spike," the now much less terrified Rainbow Dash whispered harshly.
All Spike could do was give muffled and incoherent responses.
Ω
As the day rolled on into midday, the seven friends were constantly observing, sketching, and of course naming the multitude of new species. After, of course, the time it took to get over their freak out. Although some needed more time than others
All was quiet as the group began to quietly eat their lunch as to not disturb the thousand or so carnivorous creatures around them for miles. Everything darkened as quickly as the dragons appeared and much to Fluttershy's dismay the seven friends looked up to see the biggest dragon in all of recorded pony history.
The titanic dragon’s wingspan seemed to equaled the entirety of Canterlot Mountain from tunnels underneath to tip of the tallest tower. Its claws made as long and thick as redwoods and teeth that shone almost as bright as the sun. Its scales were colored like blue lightning, And it was looking straight at the ponies hiding in a ditch. Without making a sound, its wings folded back, its neck inclined and then it was hurtling down towards them. As it dove from a height that would make even the great Rainbow Dash faint from lack of oxygen. It burst into sapphire flames that shrunk and narrowed till it broke the sound barrier, and crashed to the ground with the force of very large meteor, kicking up dust and rocks and shaking the town straight to its foundations.
As the dust settled a dragon that appeared 8 feet, stood in the middle of the creator with an appearance that looked similar to Garble but radiated power much greater than Princess Celestia. He wore camo pants with a black sleeveless-t and a sleeveless black trench coat on top of his head was spiky white hair sticking straight back and a horn from his forehead that went up a few inches before going parallel to his muzzle.
As the ponies stared at the dragon in his new form and he stared back. They did what any pony would do if a very recently colossus sized dragon fell before them. They panicked...
“RUN!” Cried an unnamed pony.
As the ponies ran Twilight plucked Spike up with her magic and placed him on her back. As the ponies ran back through the dragons, barely noticing the effects of Fluttershy's panicked screams scaring the dragons and creatures shitless from the break in the calm.
They did, however, notice that the blue dragon was following them, seemingly without a care in the world.
As the ponies entered town they went to the safest building they knew of; Twilight’s house.
As soon as the main six got there they locked the door and Twilight put up her strongest barrier around her home and maybe their final resting place. As the dragon neared the tree house it stopped and examined the barrier before him. He slowly raised his hand and shattered the barrier with a casual flick of his wrist.
While it was little force to the dragon. Twilight was flung across the room from backlash of her spell being smashed to bits with a force that would make even Big Macintosh green with envy. Seeing their only defense shatter so did their hopes of living to see another day the only thing they could do was huddle in the corner with Twilight.
"Well this is it sugarcube it was'- knock knock- "nice knowing you perhaps-" knock knock,” Applejack, tired of being interrupted, decided to voice her frustrations.
"What in tarnation is going on here," Said Applejack as her farewell speech was once again interrupted with more incisive knocking. The six ponies looked at each other for a few minutes until Pinky pie being Pinky pie happily shouted: "I'll get it" much dismay of the five ponies. As the door opened there stood the dragon, as calm and patient as could be.
"Ahem may I come in". He said in a voice that sounded quite young, roughly one of a 25-year-old stallion.
"Uum s-ur-e" stammered Twilight.
Even in his new form, he was way too big for the library, but managed to crouch and awkwardly shuffle his way inside. "Thank you Miss. Now to cut to the chase as why I am here, as you’re probably all wondering. I came to look at the young hatchling that was with you when you ran into this here library. May I see him?"
“Why? What's it to you lizard lips" said Rainbow dash finally her feisty nature briefly overcoming her fear.
"Well, if you must know I am just trying to confirm a "hunch," if you will."
"It’s okay Rainbow dash he seems nice enough". Said Spike with a sliver of uncertainty as he stepped out from the huddle of ponies.
"It's okay young one, I won't bite," Said the drake with his eyes closed, while trying to put on a smile to help calm the young dragon as he walked closer. But as soon as he opened his eyes he stared at Spike with utter shock before dropping to his knees and embracing Spike in a tight hug
As a single tear rolled down his face and said in a voice that was filled with happiness "I missed you brother".

Sup names Dragon Blaze-X this is my first ever written fan fic so I need all the help I can get plus there is an insane amount of gaps in my story any help from you readers ya I see you their thinking this is going to the same old Shit as all the other fan fic but not this time. Yes I will be borrowing other writhers’ characters from pre written stories that are really good but that is mostly because I suck at English class and in spelling. But that is where you guy's cumin I need names of character you made with personality descriptions and what not. But there will be some originality like a new land at the borders of Equestria new grater foes that put all of the MLP villains to shame I hope and untold origins. And to answer other questions this will become humanoid at a later point. But be for all the boring disclaimers emphases on "lame" spoilers: Spike finds his family becomes kick ass as Mat and Flamesinger, love, war lots of war (like on a lord of the rings scale), and ahhhh what else fan made OC…. Blood…. (Shuffling of notes)…Aha new races. Now on to disclaimers I don't own my little pony friendship is magic bla bla bla or characters you recognize or other shit that pops up like Pinky Pie now drum roll please on with epic.
P.S I will not go into much detail with characters from the show because if you are reading this you watch the show so theirs your warning shot. Also not good with clop writing yes there will be some but not much maybe 5 tops.
