What It's Like To Call This Place Home

Ponyville
The next day

Dimitri was walking through the snow with his small family. His beloved Fluttershy, his biological daughter Emma, and his adopted daughter, Scootaloo. They were on their way into town, to meet up with the others. "Hey, dad?" Scootaloo asked.

Dimitri looked to Scootaloo "Hmm?"

Scootaloo looked at him "Did you know, I know it was you who saved me all those years ago?"

Dimitri looked to the skies "I had a feeling. That's not something that would be easy to forget for either of us." Dimitri smiled "I guess you could call it destiny, when you really come down to it."

"How was it destiny? Fluttershy asked.

Emma answered before her father could "Fate had dad save her life, for you to adopt her. This provided her with a loving mom, and a baby sister, and jyou with a loving daughter to help you with said baby, while dad was gone. But it also provided dad a loving family to come home to."

Both Fluttershy and Scootaloo responded in unison "I never thought about it like that!" This made all laugh.

As they continued walking Dimitri began humming a tune. his family got quiet, to hear the tune, Dimitri raised in volume so they could hear it over the sounds of nature. The tune ended when Dimitri let out a howl, had they had their eyes shut, they would have beleived it to be real.

After a few minutes, the edge of town came into veiw along with a familiar white drake. Dimitri flared his wings, guarding his family "Ahh, Dimitri, what fortuity, running into you hare... Oh wait, no, I've come to civily challenge you to a fight to the death..." Dimitri only staired as he began shifting into turbo. "Before you and I go at it, I have a request."

For whatever reason, Dimitri reverted back to normal "What would you want from me?"

"Oh, nuthing realy... I just thought you might want to fight where the innocent can't be involved... Like Earth?" Anitchka disappeared, reappearing inches from dimitri "I can't make a portal, but you can... What do ya say?" Anitchka asked smiling.

Dimitri stood up straight, keeping his wings between his family, and the monster before them. "Flutters, Emma, Scoots, meet with the others, inform them of what is going on, but don't move until we're gone."

Emma began to protest "But, you ca-".

"Don't argue!" Dimitri snapped, making his daughter jump. Dimitri then snapped his fingers, a portal forming on a wide tree "You go first Anitchka, I'll follow." Anitchka stepped through the portal, followed by Dimitri. Soon after the portal closed, Fluttershy collapsed in shock, once again Dimirti was gone from their world.

Scootaloo began galloping towards the Apple's farm Yelling over her shoulder. "Take mom to Twilight's place, I'll go get the others!" Emma helped her mother up, walking her into town. It seemed as though hours had passed when they finally
made it to town. They stood in horror of what they saw.

Ponyville was under attack.

Earth, The middle of an unknown desert

A Portal opens on the side of a steep dune, a few seconds later a white drake casually stepped through. As the last of his tail slipped through, he took flight away from the portal. Moments later a black drake came rocketing through the portal, chasing his quarry. While fleeing the white drake smiled, his plan was working without a hitch.
