"Harmony's New Flame"
Chapter 7: A Dragons True Power
Last time in Harmony's New Flame Pyro and the others began to tell their pony friends about their world and their way of life until an urgent message from the princess. The message told them that another dragon had taken refuge on the mountain and needed to be checked out. Giving into their fear the girls jumped to conclusion and tried to force the dragon to leave much to dragons surprise and annoyance. Upon reaching the mountain it was discovered that a dragoness had been attacked and grounded by some kind of monster and was the mate of the first dragon Celestion. After coming down from the mountain the group finds itself being attacked by a hooded figure. Now lets see just who this mystery attacker is right now.
The group stared at their new foe and prepared for battle as he came down from the rock he was standing on. As he came closer the dragons stepped in front of the girls and growled.
Pyro then raised his head still growling with his sword like teeth showing. He then turned to Razor who shook his head. The grey dragon then asked, "Who are you?"
The hooded creature laughed and replied, "Now Razor, I'm surprised you could have forgotten me…" he then removed his cloak to reveal his face as he continued, "After you gave me this scar and left for dead on the mountain of Grackose.
Razor's eyes shot as wide as saucers as he saw who was before him. His eyes narrowed as he spoke a single word, "Dag."
Dag was large dark red lizard man. His eyes were a deep and dark orange; his arms were muscular and had large spikes at the end of them. He was at least six feet tall, and the claws on his hands and feet were dagger sharp. His face looked twisted and evil, he wore a sharp horn on the end of his nose, but what stood out the most was giant scar that went fully across his face almost like it was being splitting in half.
The psychic dragon snorted in response at seeing his old enemy. Conner growled as he said, "I thought you said this scumbag was dead." Razor's eyes shifted their dagger shape as angrily replied, "I thought I did."
Everyone looked to the grey dragon with fear and surprise as they heard this. Fluttershy then whispered, "Razor, you tried to… kill him?" Razor didn't even turn to look at her as he said, "Yes, I did."
Pyro stepped next to his friend and said, "Not just him, we've all been forced to take lives to save our own and each others. It's just part of our lives!"
The girls were in utter shock, but Dag simply laughed, "Hah, Hah, Hah, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha well said. This is the fate of predators, to kill or be killed. This is how we are all meant to live! Now come Razor, this time we finish this! The rest of you can play with my friend here!"
Before any of them could say another word, a loud and horrifying screech ripped through the air into their ears. The dragons and ponies looked to the sky to see a giant black scaled, winged beast fly overhead.
As the beast came in for a landing everyone ducked for cover. As its feet touched down a cloud of dust flew up and out over the area. The dragons growled as they saw the creature before them.
The beast was undoubtedly a giant queen wyvern. She had four wings, and two tails with barbs like a scorpion. Her teeth were long and jagged showing they were made for piercing and ripping flesh. Her wings were enormous and looked like they could cut down trees.
The dragons stood their ground as the beast stomped its way closer to them. Ethan yelled in a deep growled tone, "Let's get it!" The dragons charged in to attack, but were stopped as they heard someone scream.
They all turned around to see that dag had grabbed Fluttershy. The giant red lizard had her by her waist and used very little strength to hold her. Razor eyes shot wide at seeing that tyrant with one of his friends.
Dag laughed as he said, "I must say you boys really know how to pick'em out. As far as equines are concerned, she ain't have bad. I wonder how you taste little lady."
Fluttershy screamed out loud, "Noooo, let go of me! Someone help me!" Razor's eyes instantly went to their dagger shape as he saw this. Dag smiled and slid his forked tongue out at the grey dragon.
He then said, "You want her psychic boy?! Come and get her!" Dag then disappeared through the tress at lighting fast speed.
Razor looked between his friends and Dag, but couldn't decided what to do. Pyro then yelled, "Razor, go after him! We can handle things here!" "Are you sure?" "Yeah just go, quickly!"
Razor was about to leave, but he stopped and turned back to them as he said, "Everyone I will save her, and Pyro this time... I finish this!" Pyro nodded to his comrade and watched him as he ran after Dag.
With that the psychic dragon dashed off after Dag leaving his friends to deal with their 'big' problem.
Pyro turned to the girls and said, "Twilight, take the girls and get out of here!" The purple unicorn was about to run, but stopped as she realized something.
She turned around and positioned herself right beside the fire dragon. Pyro then said, "What are you doing?! I told you to run!" "Well I'm not going anywhere! We're friends, and we're supposed to help each other! We're not going to just sit back and let you fight that thing by yourselves!"
At that moment the wyvern attacked by swinging its giant tails around. Ethan leaped forward and used his terra strength to hold the massive tails back. Conner seeing an opening flew up around to the giant wyvern's back.
While Ethan held it still he unleashed a giant torrent of lighting at the beasts back, making it howl and roar in pain. Skye then came in and tried to use his speed to make a big impact, but the wyvern saw him coming and used its right wing to smack him out to the ground.
Skye bounced across the ground until he finally came to stop by slamming against a tree. Conner continued his torrent of lighting until the queen wyvern used one of her tails to knock a tree down in his direction.
Conner flew out of the way and landed back on the ground at least a few feet away from the beast, but much closer to his brother.
The giant wyvern then swung its tail back towards the other and collided with it. Ethan felt the pressure of the tails increase as the giant monster began to move.
Soon it became to much for him to hold and he used the force of the tail to backflip away from the beast. The earth dragon then drove his fists into the ground and almost instantly two giant pillars popped out of the ground and struck the monsters bid section making it back up.
He then yelled, "Pyro I suggest we accept that offer! This thing is giving us some trouble, and it looks like we could use the help!"
Pyro groaned as he said, "Alright... but stay alert. No one get to close and follow my orders to the letter, is that understood!" Everyone responded with a simple, "Yeah!"
Pyro then yelled, "Twilight give that thing a magic beam to the face. I'll go in and blast it with a few fireballs!" She replied with a nod and said, "I'm on it!"
Tapping into her vast reserves of magic, the element of harmony unleashed the biggest magic beam she could at the monsters face. Directly on cue Pyro ran in to back her up. He tapped into his element of fire and used it to increase his speed.
He then began to run around the monster so he couldn't be easily hit if it retaliated. He then unleashed a barrage of fireballs, while Twilight continued her magic beam.
Seeing that his plan was working Pyro prepared to move to the next faze. He then called out, "Ethan while I keep it distracted you make the ground unstable so it can't move around too much, while giving us a few jumping points! AJ I need you to lasso that things tails!"
The two replied, "Gotcha/Can do!" Ethan tapped into his power of earth and felt the flow of nature all around him. He then began to focus on the individual particles within the earth forcing them to separate and weaken.
At that moment the black wyverns feet began to sink into the ground making it loose its balance. He used that same power to force the hardest materials together and push them to the surface. Many stalactites and large rocks appeared all over the area.
Apple Jack then spun her lasso in the air while the monster in front of her was distracted by Twilight and Pyro. She then yelled, "Ye-haw!" and roped the two tails as instructed. She pulled the rope tight, tightening the not and tied the rope to one of the rocks Ethan had brought up.
Pyro looked to see that two had done their part, but Ethan looked exhausted. He then said, "Apple Jack grab Ethan and step back! Conner, Skye, Rainbow Dash use your speed to move around and do some damage! Use Ethan's rocks and stalactites to keep changing directions, don't let it catch you!"
"Right!/No Problem!/Gotcha!" they all answered quickly. Conner zoomed in first tapping into his power of lighting. He used the many earth foot holds jump off of and keep moving around. He then began to slash the beast with his lighting infused claws making it growl and roar in pain.
Rainbow Dash and Skye flew high into the air and used power dive to pick up speed. Skye then reached his paw out, grabbed her hoof, and tossed her ahead of him as hard as he could. As she flew down, he summoned his power of wind and sent a giant air current after her, further increasing her speed.
He went into his own power dive while spinning around like a top. As he spun, wind began to wrap around him creating an outer cocoon of air. As they both came in Pyro looked up and made sure the beasts focus was on him while they came in.
He took in a deep breath and unleashed his 'Gatling Gunner' attack, which allowed him to shoot fireballs at machine gun speed. The beast attempted to block the attack with its wings shielded itself.
However it was completely oblivious to the two incoming divers. Rainbow Dash impacted first smashing all four of her hooves into the monsters head making bend forward. She then launched herself back into air away from it.
Just as she launched herself up, Skye came in and used his speed to uppercut the beast as hard as he could. Forcing the beast to reel back from the impact.
The giant wyvern roared out in pain and frustration and began to rampage wildly. Pyro roared out, "Everyone get back and regroup!"
'Man Razor, I hope you're doing better than we are right now!'
About a Kilometer Away:
Razor was in hot pursuit of Dag and Fluttershy, pushing his body to top speed to keep up with the lizard man's speed. It was a well-known fact that lizard men were the descendants of dinosaurs.
And Dag was 'Raptor Lizard', meaning he run over 60 miles an hour, and had the agility to leap at least 20 feet in the air. Plus with his newly evolved body structure he could push that speed and agility to it highest.
The psychic dragon knew that catching him would not be easy, but he didn't have the luxury of taking time to come up with a plan.
As he continued running his nose picked up the combined scents of Dag and Fluttershy. He was close, real close. The grey dragon then closed his eyes and began to focus his mind, bringing forth his psychic power.
The power rose to surface filling his body, and as it did Razor gathered his psychic energy and sent it outward as a psychic pulse. As the pulse spread outward and hit his targets, smaller pusles bounced off of them and returned to Razor.
As the waves reached him, Razor instantly had their location and began to move toward them as fast as he could. He then focused his power on himself and used it to increase the speed of his own body.
In the blink of an eyes Razor was off and appeared as nothing more than a grey and blue blur. He used his wings and agility to maneuver through the many trees, vines, and branches.
As he continued to move Razor finally spotted Dag. As he had him in his sights, he dragon's anger rose and he narrowed his eyes, which had gone into an even thinner dagger shape.
Razor used a psychic pulse to shoot himself forward at a new found speed. As he closed in he used his power to grab a giant log nearby and tossed it into Dag's path.
The red lizard man used his agility to leap over the log out of the way, which is exactly what Razor wanted. Using his speed, Razor flashed past him to a thin branch ahead of him.
Razor reached out his paws, grabbed the branch, spun on it and used his momentum to double kick Dag in the chest and face, knocking him out of the air.
The grey dragon then hovered to the ground as Dag used his agility to flip himself over and land on his clawed feet, still holding tight to Fluttershy. The cream colored Pegasus was scared out of her wit and was whimpering with he eyes closed.
She then peaked out and looked to see Razor standing on a higher log a few feet away. She then screamed, "Razor, please help me!" "I'm right here Fluttershy! I'll save you, just sit tight!" he responded confidently.
She nodded in response, but cringed as Dag tightened his grip on her. Razor growled in response. Dag cackled as he said, "Awww, ain't that sweet, the knight comes to save his princess. I must say Razor, I didn't peg you to interested in mammals."
The psychic general snorted as he responded, "My interests have nothing to do with you. Now put her down so we can finish this!" Dag raised a brow as he said, "Oh believe me, I fully intend to fight you and send you to join your weak and worthless father."
Razor's anger spiked as his memories of his father and Dags betrayal flashed through his mind. He then growled loudly as he said, "Don't you dare speak of my father, you filthy traitor!"
Dag smiled wickedly and replied, "Very well, let's get this started. In our last fight, I must admit I underestimated you, but this time there's no way you can win."
The grey dragon snorted, "I've gotten even stronger since then and seems as though you still haven't learned your lesson. You're still underestimation your opponent. Now put her down and let's finish this!"
Dag smiled and said, "I don't know grey scales, I've grown rather attached to her." Fluttershy began to squirm and said, "Let me go." Dag gave a toothy grin and suddenly grabbed the teenage filly by her throat. He then held her up to his face and said, "You know, I think I like you equine. You've got a little spark in you. Now… let'ssss sssee if that mouth of yours can do more than talk."
Razor's eyes shot wide as he watched Dag do something he truly did not see coming. Dag grabbed the pegasus by her head and pulled her into a forceful kiss, which caught her completely off guard.
She tried to push him away, but couldn't muster any strength to stop this. As it continued she began to cry as she was forced to deepen the kiss against her will.
Dag smiled evilly as he continued, but his smiled disappeared as he saw that Razor had disappeared. Then in an instant the lizard man felt something against his face. He then looked to see it was Razor's fist.
Dag was sent flying across the tree branch he was standing and dragged his claws to come to a stop. Razor caught Fluttershy and held her as she tried to fathom what just happened. She was still crying as Razor held her, but she began to calm down as she realized she had just been saved.
She then looked up to see Dag attacking her friend from behind with dual sided black sword. She quickly yelled, "Razor behind you!" The psychic dragon didn't bother looking back, for he knew exactly what was happening.
Dag brought his blade down, but as he did Razor had once again vanished. He then looked to the side to see Razor at least 30 feet away from him.
The psychic dragon placed Fluttershy in a nearby tree and said, "Stay here ok, and no matter what, do not move from this spot. This won't take long."
Razor then turned back to Dag with rage filled eyes and his psychic power giving him a very visible blue glow. As Razor touched down he growled as he said, "You just made A Big Mistake."
Dag smiled as he moved his blade behind him and said, "I must say, you have definitely improved since you gave me this scar… but so have I!" Before Razor could react Dag held up his paw and shot black lighting from his claws.
The lighting nailed Razor right in the chest and sent him flying into a nearby tree. Fluttershy squeaked as she saw Razor take the hit and cringed as he rolled onto the ground.
However the psychic general of the king's royal guard would not go down so easily. He quickly found his way to his feet and locked his eyes on Dag who had begun to advance with his blade in hand.
Razor's eyes darted over to the blade and as he examined it, everything became clear to him. "I see now, you've become a Dark Legion knight; a baron if I had to guess your rank."
Dag smiled and asked, "And what makes you say that?" "That sword you're carrying is a shadow saber. Only experienced members of the Dark Legion army wield those."
Dag gave him a sharp toothed smile as he replied, "Well if you know what this is, than you know what kind of power the dark legion gives it's faithful soldiers. This shadow saber alone is powerful, but I have grown even more so."
Razor snorted and said, "Dark Legion shadow sabers drain away the opponents strength and give it to their wielder. While Dark Legion knights themselves use dark elements to aid in their battles."
"Looks like someone's been studying. If you know all that, then you know that you have no way of winning."
Razor snorted and replied, "Unfortunately for you, I've risen in rank as part of the king's royal guard. I'm now his top general and I'll show you right now, how much difference is truly between us."
Dag laughed and held out his claws hand as he said, "I've grown more powerful than any teenage dragon punk. Especially you!" Razor's eyes narrowed as black lightning shot out of Dag's palm and came at him.
The grey dragon held up his own paw and as the lightning came towards him, and it flowed into his own paw. The lightning crackled and sparked in his paw as he held it, but he soon shot it back at dag who side-stepped to dodge it.
The red lizard man growled and shot lighting out of both his hands even bigger than the last one. Razor stood on his back legs, focused his mind, and as the lighting came in, he threw his arms out deflecting to the left and right.
He then smiled as he said, "It seems the dark legion has lost it's touch. Now if you're done wasting time, let's get serious."
As Razor spoke these words he closed his eyes and began to focus his psychic power. Soon his body became covered in blue glowing marks that looked like sword slashes. As the marks appeared two blue blades made of pure psychic energy appeared on Razor's arms.
Fluttershy watched in complete surprise as the dragon she had been living with for almost a month stood there in his new form.
He then opened his eyes to reveal that they too were glowing with his psychic power. Dag smiled and drew his dual shadow saber. He then said, "Now let's get this party really started."
Razor jumped down to the same log that Dag was standing on and prepared to fight. He and Dag entered their respective stances and waited for the other to make the first move.
As the battle was about to begin, the frightened pegasus could only think, 'Razor, please be careful.'
For a moment the forest was completely silent. Then in a split second Dag was on the attack. The red lizard brought down his dark blade only to be blocked by Razor's psychic blade.
Razor forced the blade away, spun around, and used his tail to whack Dag in face. Dag took the attack and jumped away from the grey dragon. Razor smiled at getting in the first blow and decided to go in for the attack.
Razor flew in and slashed with his right arm, then his left. Dag blocked both attacks and retaliated by swinging his blade low at Razor's back paws. Sensing the attack coming, the psychic dragon used his left slash to spin downward and front flipped out of the way.
He then jumped into the air and spun around at speed that made him look like a blue buzz-saw. Dag blocked the attack and forced him to the ground on his side.
The dark legion knight lifted his blade and threatened to hack Razor in two. Reacting quickly, the psychic general sunk his blade into the tree and spun himself around. He then used his tail to sweep Dag's front foot out from under him.
The red lizard stumbled forward, but still tried to slash Razor. Razor pulled himself forward, but was still struck by the blade. Gritting his teeth he bared the pain and continued his counter attack. Using his momentum and strength, he forced himself up, spun around, stuck out his paw and kicked Dag square in the chest making him skid backwards.
As Dag came to a stop Razor stood back up and faced him. He then examined himself and saw that Dag's blade had slashed his left wing. That meant from here on he'd have to fight on the ground.
The psychic dragon faced his opponent and growled angrily. He then said, "Not a bad first round." Dag huffed and said, "Let's see how you do in round two… dragon."
The two reptiles then ran forward and began making a series of precise and quick strikes, clashing their blades again and again, each trying to make a lethal strike on the other.
Dag brought his blade down from the left, but Razor blocked with his left blade. Dag then struck again with a downward slash, which Razor blocked with his right blade and forced away with a quick thrust.
Dag used Razor's own force against him and spun around. As he spun he flung his right hand out and shot Razor dead center with his black lightning.
The grey dragon was sent flying across the giant log on his back. After a few seconds he held out his paws and used the momentum to flip himself onto his four paws.
Dag charged in without a moment's hesitation, ready to cut down his psychic foe. But as he charged in Razor concentrated his psychic energy into his blade. Just as the red lizard got within ten feet of him, he swung his arm and launched a giant energy blade at his opponent.
Reacting quickly Dag used his blade to block the attack, but the force of the blow caused him to skid backwards. He tried to dig his foot claws into the tree to stop himself, but that did very little to help. Finally Dag came to a stop and narrowed his eyes at Razor.
The psychic drag once again charged in and unleashed another energy blade. Dag decided to avoid the attack all together and jumped into the tree above him. Razor watched him jump from branch to branch to move higher into the tree.
As Dag reached the top of the tree he unleashed another wave of lighting. Razor jumped back avoiding the blast and began to make his way up the tree with his claws and agility.
Dag tried to shoot him down, but Razor's body was built for speed and his agility was nothing to sniff at. Razor used some of the more bendable branches to bounce high into the trees.
He then looked up to see Dag launch another blast of lightning. Using his battle instincts, Razor used all four of his legs to leap off the branch, over to a branch near Dag. As he flew overhead, Razor grabbed onto the branch, swung around kicked Dag straight in his stomach and chest.
As he received the attack, Dag was forced to skid back across the branch, but he would not be beaten so easily. Razor charged in and tried to slash him with his right arm blade.
Seeing the attack coming Dag held up his sword, blocked the attack and forced it to the left. He then delivered a powerful thrust kick to Razor's gut forcing him to back off. As he reeled in from the attack the psychic general looked up to see the red lizard attack again.
As the red traitor brought his blade down, Razor held up his left arm to block it and forced it to the side. He then grabbed hold of Dag's arm, elbowed him in the stomach, and back-fisted him off the tree.
Dag wasn't about to let Razor get off scot-free, and used his own tail grab his leg and pull him down with him. Both warriors used their reflexes to land perfectly on their feet and faced each other once more.
As they faced each other power began to leak out from their bodies. Razor's body glowed with his new markings as an outer blue glow began to radiate off him. Dag's glow was black and filled the air with a dark pressure.
Fluttershy watched in amazement and worry as the two reptilian beings charged at each other once more. Razor swung his right arm blade full strength, while Dag brought his blade down with all his power.
Then in a flash the two disappeared. Fluttershy tried to look for them, but as she scanned the area she suddenly saw spark above her. She looked up to see Dag and Razor standing upside down on a tree clashing their blades.
Before she knew it they disappeared again and reappeared in a tree farther to the left. She watched as they disappeared and reappeared in a different place again and again.
Dag charged in full speed attempting to end this battle. Razor did the same knowing that if he let up, he would lose ground against Dag. Dag gripped his blade hard and used his left hand to swing across.
Reacting quickly, Razor ducks under the blade and manages to get in close by sliding on his left side. He then spins around and tried to sweep Dag's feet out from under him with his tail. Seeing the attack coming the red lizard did a light jump to dodge it.
Not wanting to let up, Razor pushed himself onto his left paw and kicked at Dag. Dag held up his right arm and blocked the kick. Razor eyes opened as his enemy took hold of his back leg. He gritted his teeth as he thought, 'Dang, I left myself wide open!'
Dag pulled Razor up and tossed him into the air. As the grey dragon flew through the air, he looked down to see Dag jump up after him. With his agility enhanced by his new dark power, he could easily jump as high as he threw his opponent.
Thinking on his feet Razor tapped into his psychic power and shot a beam of pure psychic energy from his maw, nailing Dag point blank in the chest and sending him back towards the ground.
The thrust from his blast shot Razor in the direction of a nearby tree. As he approached, the grey dragon flipped himself over, and landed on the tree with all four of his paws. As soon as he landed he directed his psychic energy to the bottom of his paws and as he jumped from the tree a psychic pulse was emitted shooting him forward like a rocket.
Dag had just gotten up from Razor's last attack and looked up to see the grey dragon coming in for another. Failing to react, Dag took a direct right hook from the dragon general and was sent flying into another nearby tree.
As he impacted into the tree he looked up to see the teenage dragon coming in for another attack. He held up his arm and shot a very powerful black lightning bolt at the branches above him.
Razor looked up to see a giant log coming down at him. The psychic dragon once again called upon his psychic power and focused it into his right paw. As he did this, his claws began to glow and transformed 4 inch long psychic claws.
As the log came down Razor brought his paws upward and slashed the log into 3 pieces. Just as Razor finished his slash he looked directly in front of him to see Dag directly in front of him.
The red lizard man launched his hand forward and grasped Razor by the neck. He then let loose a giant torrent of black lightning. The psychic dragon roared out in pain and tried to get loose, but Dag would not loosen his grip.
The dark knight then help up his sword and prepared to slash Razor's head clean off. Razor opened his eyes and watched as his enemy raised his blade. He knew if he didn't act now, he would end up being headless, but the volts upon volts of lightning surging through him, there was little he could do.
As Dag prepared to swing his sword, Razor's eyes narrowed in anger. Then just as Dag swung, it was as if time had gone into slow motion. Dag's blade came in directly at Razor's neck, but just as the blade was about to reach him, something shot up and knocked the blade out of Dag's grasp.
Dag then looked to see it was Razor's left arm blade that had blocked the attack. While he was in shock Razor swung his legs forward and double kicked Dag in his gut, getting him to let go and back away.
The red lizard man growled and asked angrily, "HOW did you do that?!" Razor shook himself back to his senses and said, "Look where we're standing." Dag looked down to see that they were standing a large patch of hard soil.
Razor then held up his tail and said, "I directed your lightning into the ground, which lessened the amount of pain going through me and let me focus just enough to create one of my psychic blades."
Dag growled and charged in bringing his sword in and doing an upward slash. Razor leaned right to dodge and spun around for a tail sweep. Dag lifted his front leg making Razor's tail miss. He then raised his sword and prepared to slash down upon the psychic dragon while he was still off balance.
Razor wasn't trying to make the sweep but used the momentum to pull his lower half upward and double kicked Dag directly in the face. The blow disoriented the giant lizard as he stumbled backwards.
Seeing his opening the grey dragon focused his psychic power into his paws, moved in, and gave his opponent a right uppercut. As Dag's head flew up, Razor quickly spun around and delivered a powerful left punch into the red tyrant's gut. Dag felt the wind rush out of him with that blow and once again stumbled backwards, but Razor wasn't done with him yet. He charged spun sideways on his left arm, kicked dag in the chest with his left back paw, in the face with right, and used his tail to knock the shadow saber out of his hands. He then jumped into the air and double kicked Dag in the chest again. The force of the kick created a psychic shock wave, which sent him flying and crashing into a tree directly behind him.
Wanting to end this battle now Razor charged in and prepared a final punch full of his psychic energy. But just as he got prepared to launch his fist, Dag used his own tail to smack Razor's fist away. He then slashed him in his stomach with his long claws, and quickly followed with an uppercut slash on his face. As he stumbled back, Dag stepped forward and blasted his psychic opponent with a fully charged bolt of black lightning.
Razor's wounds screamed in pain as the dark lightning coursed through them, tapping directly into his nerves. Dag smiled as he heard Razor's screams of pain and sent him flying with an extra burst of power.
With a loud and violent crash, the psychic general landed and rolled across the ground. He lay there almost motionless, the only motion being his body twitching from the electricity flowing through him.
Dag walked over to him and said, "Now, I say it's about time I put an end to you... once and for all!" Razor cracked one of his eyes open and narrowed them at the approaching dark knight.
Back with Pyro and the others:
Thanks to Pyro's leadership and the others using their skills perfect unison they had finally gotten the upper hand on the giant wyvern.
The giant beast roared and swung its tail the group of ponies and dragons surrounding it. They all reacted by either jumping back or up out of the way.
Pyro then called out, "Alright guys, time to finish this thing off! I going to prepare a move to kill this thing, but I need an opening! Do what you can to keep it still!"
They all responded, "RIGHT!" and went in to make their move. He then held his paw at Twilight and said, "I need you to stay close. What I'm about to do is going to take some magic and I can't focus properly in my dragon form yet."
The purple unicorn nodded and stood by his side. Pyro stood back and began to channel his fire. He then said, "Now add your magic." Twilight shot a small version of her magic beam into the fire sphere, which began to make it grow. As the two powers combined, the result was a beautiful orange fire that sparkled like a gem stone.
While Pyro and Twilight prepared their attack the others went to work to give them an opening. Everyone sprung into action using their individual talents to to stop the wyvern.
Apple Jack leaped behind the beast and tied her lasso around a nearby rock. She then lassoed the other end onto the beasts horn. The wyvern began to buck and pull, but it couldn't get loose.
Ethan moved next to her and slammed his paws as hard as he could into the ground. This caused two earth pillars the size of red beams slam the wyvern on both sides of its body.
Rainbow Dash once again flew high into the air and dove at the beast full speed. She reached a speed that caused an air wall to appear in front of her. As she came in she nailed the giant monster in the back making roar and thrash in pain.
The raging beast then turned its attention to Rarity who was standing back by herself. The beast swung its massive wing, threatening to slice her in two.
The white unicorn screamed in horror as the massive wing came towards her. Skye seeing the action dove in front of Rarity and created a wind dome. As the wing collided with the wall of wind, it was forced away and redirected; this caused the beast to be off balance.
The beast then received a blast to the face from a rock and some confetti. It looked down to see it was the pink pony. Pinkie Pie had blasted the beast with her trusty party canon and had succeeded in getting the black wyvern's attention.
Conner who was standing beside her smiled and said, "Nice shot Pinkie Pie, now watch how I do it." The yellow dragon opened his mouth and released a powerful lightning stream that ripped through the monster making it once again howl and scream in pain.
Finally Pyro and Twilight were ready. Twilight ran ahead to give some extra time. She and Rarity blasted beast in the face with their purple and blue magic beams, while it was still stunned by Conner's lightning attack.
Pyro then yelled, "Everyone get clear!" Hearing his order everyone scattered while he moved in to attack. He then yelled, "Alright ugly, here's my new technique, "TWILIGHT NOVA STAR!"
The giant fireball sparkled with rainbow magic outer glow, and as it traveled toward the wyvern, five purple/white streaks appeared and spiraled across the flames in the shape of a star.
As it impacted a huge explosion went off that sent a dust cloud at least 5o feet in the air and just like that, the battle was over.
Everyone looked through the dust cloud they had created to see the wyvern lying lifeless on the ground with only a small portion of it left unscorched by the fire.
Pyro and his dragons seemed fine, but the girls were all panting heavily; they were exhausted and no one could blame them. Pyro and the others smiled at seeing this, they had all worked together to beat this giant beast. They had all worked in perfect unison, and had come together as a real team, as true friends.
A ping suddenly went off in Pyro's mind and he looked toward the direction Razor had run in before. Only a split second later did the Conner, Ethan, and Skye feel it too.
Rainbow Dash then asked, "What's (huff) wrong (gasp) now?" Pyro turned to the rainbow maned pegasus and answered, "Razor's in trouble. Let's go!"
With that everyone took off in the direction their psychic friends had gone in, and were hoping he could on.
Back in Razor's Battle:
Razor was still lying on the ground, as Dag approached him. The psychic dragon then turned his attention to Dag's shadow saber, and narrowed his eyes at it.
As Dag raised his clawed hands to finish Razor off with a lighting strike, Razor prepared to make his move. The both of them stopped as they heard Fluttershy yell, "Don't give up Razor!"
Hearing her say that Razor felt his strength shoot up and something spark inside his heart. His eyes narrowed and he noticed that Dag was distracted, so he used this chance to get to his paws.
The red lizard man turned to him and growled and prepared to blast him. But as he released his black lightning, Razor jumped into the air, front flipped over Dag and used his psychic energy to call his shadow saber over to him. Just as Dag turned around Razor landed on his back paws, caught the blade, and pulled it towards himself stabbing Dag who was directly behind him.
The dark legion knight stumbled backwards as he grabbed at the sword that was now in his chest. He then gagged and coughed up blood as he said, "Th-This can't be. How c-could I (cough) lose to you again. I'm a dark legion knight."
Razor snorted and said, "It's the power of the warrior, not the title that determines how strong you are. Besides I wasn't fighting you with my full power!" "WHAT?!"
The psychic general then said, "Over time there has only been two psychic elemental masters, I am the third!" Dag's eyes shot wide as he heard this, but he just couldn't believe it. Razor continued, "I didn't use my full strength because Fluttershy was here and she couldn't gotten caught in the crossfire... and you weren't worthy enough to see it... however as a parting gift, I'll show you a small glimpse of it, with the first technique I created with my new power!"
As he spoke those words his body radiated and glowed with psychic power. His markings began to glow and Dag prepared for the attack, but in a flash Razor was gone. A split second later he reappeared behind Dag with his eyes closed.
Dag suddenly screamed in pain and looked on his body, somehow Razor had slashed him five times. Dag was about to attack, but stopped as he saw that we was inside of a star made of pure psychic energy.
Razor then held his paws and snapped as he said, "Psychic Star!" Dag then screamed as pure psychic energy shot up from the ground like lava from a volcano.
In mere 10 seconds Dag was no more. Razor turned around and found that his enemy had been reduced to ashes, no more than he deserved. He then turned his attention to Fluttershy who was shaking like a leaf up in the tree.
Razor's wing had healed so he flew over to her and held out his paw. He then said as calmly as he could, "Common Fluttershy, its over." The cream colored pegasus placed her hoof in his paw and fluttered down to the ground with him.
As they reached the ground Fluttershy let go of his paw and dropped to the ground. She then said, "Sorry, but my body's kind of gone numb." The grey dragon nodded and said, "I'm not surprised, alright common."
Fluttershy squeaked as she felt Razor's psychic power grip her and lift her off the ground. He then placed her on his back and began walking. She then said, "R-Razor, y-you don't have t-to..." "Don't worry about it, besides you had to go through this because of me. This is the least I can do."
Fluttershy smiled and decided to let the dragon have his way. He then said, "Besides you're so light, I can barely feel you back there." She blushed as she heard this and said, "Thank you."
Razor smiled and kept walking, but stopped as he saw his friends coming toward him. Pyro smiled at seeing his top general and Fluttershy safe and sound.
The dragon king stepped forward and said, "I'm glad you two are ok, then again there was no doubt that you would win." Razor smiled and said, "Of course, it's me after all. Besides it's pretty easy to fight, when you have someone to fight for."
Fluttershy blushed again and ducked behind Razor's head to hid her red face from the others. Twilight and the girls soon ran forward to Razor's back and began bombarding the element of kindness with question, which of most were 'Are you ok?'
She assured them that she was fine and they began to make their way home. As they traveled they began to tell each other's stories of the battles that took place.
As they reached the edge of town, the boys shifted back to their stallion forms. Rainbow Dash said, "I gotta say that was one heck of an awesome fight. I just wish there had been others around to see our awesomeness."
Ethan then said, "If somepony had been around, there could have some serious civilian casualties Rainbow." The rainbow pegasus frowned as sh heard that because she knew he was right. Conner then said, "Still that was a great fight back there. We all came together as team and totally whopped that giant wyvern."
Skye then said, "I wish I could have seen Razor's fight. From what I'm hearing it was pretty epic." "I can agree with that, Razor does tend to do very well in battles like these." Pyro said, complementing his best friend.
Razor smiled at hearing this, but turned to Fluttershy to see she was still shaken up by what happened. She lay slumped on his back with saddened eyes and low spirit.
He wanted to say something, but didn't know what he could say right now. He decided to stay quiet and not say anything to upset her even further.
Pyro then said, "Well I don't know about you guys, but heading home and throwing myself in bed." "I hear that." Ethan agreed. Skye then said, "I'm going to go for a fly so I can clear my head." "I'm heading to go get something to eat." FInally Razor said, "I'll take Fluttershy home, and let her rest a while. She's been through a lot today."
Everyone nodded and went their separate ways, but as they did, the stallions all looked back at each other and nodded.
It only took about five minutes for Razor to reach Fluttershy's house. As he arrived he pushed open the door, and closed it with his back left hoof. As soon as the door closed, he shifted back to his dragon form, and set Fluttershy down on her couch.
The cream colored pegasus barely made a sound as she lay on her couch, thinking of what had transpired before. Her eyes glanced at Razor every now and then as she watched him walk through her house.
The grey dragon couldn't help but ask, "Um... Fluttershy... a-are you alright?" She shook her head and said, "I'm scared of a lot of things, but I've never been that scared before in my life. I thought he was going to kill me, and then he... he."
Razor placed his paw on her shoulder and said, "Hey it's ok, I'm right here." "I know. You saved me Razor. I can't thank you enough."
As she spoke those words their eyes met and Razor saw how pure and beautiful they were up close. Fluttershy also stared into his dark blue glowing eyes witch were full of concern as well as strength. This wasn't the first time she had seen this in his eyes, and every time she saw them, they brought her comfort and reassurance.
She then looked down at his body and saw it covered in scars and bruises from his fight with Dag. She then placed her hoof on his chest and said, "You fought so hard to save me. I'm sorry."
Razor smiled and said, "That's what you do when you care about someone." Fluttershy's eyes lit up as she heard those words. She then asked, "Razor, if your first kiss is forced, does it count?"
The psychic dragon blushed and turned his head to the side as he replied, "Well, I've never had mine, so I wouldn't know from experience, but if I had to guess... I'd say no." She looked up at him again and replied, "Good because, I want first to kiss to be... with.. you."
Razor's eyes shot open as heard this, but what really surprised him is what Fluttershy did next as he turned to face her. Before he could react, the cream colored pegasus had leaned in and kissed him.
Razor was completely surprised and he wasn't the only one. Fluttershy was completely dumbfounded that she had made such a bold move towards her house guest. Yet here she was kissing the very creature she had feared above all others and now there was no going back.
She waited for a reaction, and soon received one Razor wrapped one of his paws around her waist and pulled her closer deepening the kiss between them.
Both their eyes closed as the a new bond of love was formed between them and for a moment time seemed to slow down just for the two of them.
As they parted they both said the only word that could come to their minds, "Wow." Fluttershy then said, "Sorry to do that so suddenly." Razor shook his head and said, "Actually, that was really cool."
They smiled and embraced each other again. Razor then pulled away from her and said, "Hey I'm a little tired... I'm going to get some sleep. You should too."
She nodded and made her way to her room. She stopped and took one last look back at her dragon friend or rather dragon boyfriend now and gave one final smile.
Razor returned the smile as she disappeared up stairs. He then let out a big sigh as he lay down on the floor and began to focus his mind. 'This is Razor calling in. Can everyone here me?'
Pyro's voice then responded, 'Loud and clear Razor.' 'Ethan responding.' 'Skye sounding off.' 'Conner checking in.' 'Jordan checking in.' As they all sounded off Razor said/thought, 'Psychic link established. Alright let's get to work.'
Pyro was the first to speak or in this case think, 'Alright this too coincidental. First my magic goes crazy, then Celestion appears and gives me a bone mark, and finally Dag shows up as a 'Dark Legion' knight.'
Ethan sighed and said, 'I agree, there's no way this just coincidence. Something's going on, the only question is what.'
Jordan then spoke up with his thoughts, 'I might be able to fill that in. I've been in the princess's company for a while and as I was walking around I remember her saying something about being involved with some prophecy.'
Skye then asked, 'Wait if that's true then why didn't she tell us about it?' Razor then said, 'She probably didn't know when this prophecy was going to start, and I think there may be more to it than we know.'
Pyro cleared his throat and said, 'Alright we can get back to that later. Right now we need to focus on keeping everyone in this town safe. Not only that we each need to find the bone marks hidden here by ancient dragon warriors. Also I suggest not telling the girls about this, it would only endanger them and if the dark legion is involved it's only going to get worse.'
They all then said, 'Agreed.'
Conner then said, 'We need to meet in person so we can talk. Does anyone any time we can get together, that doesn't seem conspicuous?' His brother Jordan then replied, 'Actually the princess wanted me to summon you guys here to tell you guys about some celebration.
Razor then said, 'Alright, everyone stay alert and be careful out there. I'm signing out.' Everyone else shut down their mind link and went back to their daily duties leaving the psychic general alone with his own thoughts.
He then began to flash back to few times they saw the princess. He read her mind and found thoughts of Pyro related to some prophecy, that she had failed to mention. He hadn't brought the matter to the king's attention, because he didn't want Pyro to think he was jumping to some random conclusion, but he knew she was hiding something.
Although he didn't know what it was, he was going to make sure he kept a very close eye on her for anything suspicious.
At Twilight's Library:
Back at the library Pyro and Twilight had just finished telling Spike all about their battle in the Everfree forest. The little purple dragon was going crazy over the cool battle scenes.
He then said, "Man I wish I could've been there to see it in person." Twilight giggled and said, "I have to admit, it was cool, but it was also dangerous."
Pyro then said, "Twilight, don't you think this is a little too coincidental?" "What do you mean?"
"What I mean is, we arrived about a month ago, and as I've seen things have been getting pretty weird. I mean, first with the ghouls and now a giant queen wyvern. Not to mention Dag and the dark legion."
Twilight thought for a moment and said, "Well I don't see a pattern. Those were just two things, and they were a month apart. Maybe they just are a coincidence."
The fire dragon nodded and said, "Yeah, you're right, I'm over thinking things. Twilight smiled and began to make her way over to her library. Pyro then took out the bone mark, Celestion had given him and thought to himself, 'I better hold onto this, if I use it now, there's no telling if the effects are permanent.'
Pyro the headed upstairs after Twilight and then thought, 'No matter what it takes, we have to protect them.'
