"Hey" – Nightmare Forces speech/ Location and Time
Last Time on Dragonfire
"It seems you've discovered my little secret—not only can I create your nightmares, but also your dreams too." Said Nightmare.
"I will destroy you and save Rainbow." Said Dragonfire but before he could do anything he was being held down by Shadowfright and his 'sidekick'.
"Oh, p-p-poor Dragonfire. You can't destroy me if and if you do you will kill Rainbow as well. You can't do anything, let alone your friends."
"So what you want me to help you take over Equestria. Forget it, I would rather rot in the dungeon before helping the likes of you." said Dragonfire with a glare as Nightmare laughed.
"Help?! Well that was the plan but you're will was too strong to be taken over by the Nightmare Forces. It doesn't matter besides…This nightmare has only just begun!" said Nightmare with a sinister smile as Dragonfire was taken away to the dungeon.
Story Start
'How could you leave the ponies? Your weakness made you Nightmare Moon once, and now you're weak again…you'll never be strong Luna.' Luna thought sadly as she flew back to Ponyville and landed near Celestia and the CMC.
"Where are the ponies and Ryuand'r?" asked Celestia worried about them.
"They were captured." Said Luna in a sad tone as Scootaloo came up to her.
"But what about Rainbow? Was she okay?" she asks.
"We know you mean well, but please stay out of harms way." Celestia tells the little fillies but Applebloom looks at her a bit mad.
"I'm sorry princesses, but I'm afraid we can't do that. This time our sisters need our help!" says Applebloom as Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo nodded.
"I will not allow any more ponies to risk their lives!" said Luna which made the CMC's look at her in shock and worry.
"Lives? What happened?" asked Sweetie Belle as Luna looked to the ground in anger before looking towards Celestia.
"The nightmare forces are on their way. They will attack Ponyville." Said Luna as she and Celestia began to walk leaving a frightened and worried Sweetie Belle and Applebloom.
"Don't worry, sister, we'll be ready for them." said Celestia getting ready for a battle for the safety of Ponyville.
Back on the Moon -Dungeon-
Twilight and the others were in their cells having given up hope of breaking out and saving Rainbow and were listening to Pinkie Pie as she tried to open the cell.
"Ahhh! Let us out you…you Dingus! Dingus! Dingus! Dingus!" yelled Pinkie as she tried shaking the cell door open but was having no luck.
Applejack having enough of Pinkie's 'escape' screamed at her to stop, "Please, Pinkie Pie! Enough of the Dingus…es! Dingus!? Whatever it is in the plural." Only to smack herself as she saw Pinkie trying to bite the cell with her teeth before giving up.
"So what are we supposed to do?" Rarity asks.
"Apparently, over react in a completely unladylike way... Like you always do." Muttered Applejack but Rarity heard her and was angered by it.
"What?! That is absurd Applejack! Completely insane! You're the one who is all 'Howdy, pardner' about everything!" Rarity yells back.
"What does that even mean?!"
As they were fighting Twilight was getting angrier and angrier before she had enough. "Seriously guys! That's enough! Stop being-"
Fluttershy was in her cell petting the mouse, "It's okay, Miss Buffy—they don't actually mean it. We are all best friends." she says not wanting to see her friends fight.
"Your crazy, wonderful selves…" said Twilight before her horn started to glow and soon she was enveloped in her magic.
"Whoa! How are you doing that Twilight?" asks Pinkie in fascination.
"I-I don't know! I was just thinking about how glad I am that we're all friends," said Twilight looking at her hand, "And about what I would've missed out on if you didn't teach me about friendship."
"I remember when you first came to Ponyville. I knew we were going to be besties forever!" said Pinkie as her hand started glowing a pink color, "Wow-eee! Look at me!" as she waved her hand out of the cell so that everyone could see.
Soon enough the others were being enveloped by their own magic.
"Oh, my! That feels…like home." Said Fluttershy.
"Let's all have a big party for Rainbow when we get her home!" said Applejack.
"And maybe I can finally get her to wear a dress. Probably not." Said Rarity giggling.
"I think our happiness—our friendship—is lighting us up from the inside! Its amazing!" said Twilight.
Meanwhile
"NOW IS THE TIME FOR NIGHTMARE RULE!" yelled Nightmare who was dressed in spartan-like armor.(1) as the Nightmare forces yelled in approval before leaving the moon to Ponyville.
Back with the others
As they were feeling being enveloped by their magic it disappeared which confused them.
"What the hay?" was everyone's thought before three smoke creatures brought in Dragonfire and toss him into an empty cell and left.
"Dragonfire are you okay?!" says Fluttershy as Dragonfire nods.
"Yeah I'm okay." He says panting a bit.
"Are you sure Nightmare said that she was going to fuse the Nightmare forces with you. How do we know you are really Dragonfire?" said Rarity as she looked at him with a glare making the others, except for Fluttershy, look at him with conflicted feelings.
"But I didn't get taken, you girls have to believe me." Said Dragonfire pleadingly.
But before anyone could say anything the door opened to reveal Spike covered in slugs.
"Spike you're okay!" yelled Twilight happily seeing that her friend wasn't hurt.
"You are one tough lil' dude!" said Applejack.
"Aw, thanks. It was nothing just a dragon doing his mighty dragonly duty!" said Spike before going to Fluttershy's cell, "Sorry I took so long but I got lost in the castle and somehow ended up in the balcony again. I saw that they used some sort of ritual on Dragonfire but he was able to break out of it." Everypony besides Fluttershy looked to Dragonfire with guilty expressions and he just gave a small smile.
"It's okay besides we have more important things at the moment." said Dragonfire as they all nodded.
"We gotta get you out of here fast! The bad guys are on their way to Ponyville!" Spike tried pulling on the bars but was having a hard time moving them, "Ugh! They're locked!"
"Guys." Said Dragonfire but wasn't heard as Spike was pulling the bars harder and they didn't even budge.
Spike noticed the mouse on Fluttershy's arm and was a bit creeped out by it, "Uhhh… are you okay there, Fluttershy?"
"We're totally awesome!" she replied happily as the mouse was comfortable in her arms.
"It's okay Spike. We'll find a way as long as we're together." Said Twilight.
"Guys?" said Dragonfire again annoyingly.
"Now that we can see that, maybe we can kick the bars down?" said Applejack as she tried kicking the cell and was having no luck as well.
"I feel like I'm talking to myself?" said Dragonfire face palming himself.
"Stop! The guard is sleeping outside the door! He'll hear." Said Spike in worry.
"Think everypony—how can we get out without waking up the guard?" said Twilight as she put her hand on her chin thinking of ways to get out.
Everyone was thinking, except for Dragonfire and Fluttershy, on how to get out before Pinkie brought her head up.
"Oh yeah! I totally forgot! No sweat, my pegasisters and dragon boyz." Said Pinkie before she started to wiggle around her cell much to their confusion.
"Darlin', that's sweet and all, but dancin' ain't gonna set us free." Said Applejack deadpanning.
Pinkie didn't care what she said as she started to wiggle more, "Ye of little faith!" before a key fell out of her hair and in front of Spike. Everyone was shocked that Pinkie had a key this entire time but didn't think anymore of it, "Well, the Dingus wiggled right into me and the key fell out of his pocket! What's a filly supposed to do?!" said Pinkie as she winked.
Soon enough Rarity, Applejack, Twilight and Pinkie were freed from their cells. They were about to free Fluttershy and Dragonfire but saw that they were outside their cells stretching.
"H-how did you two escape?!" said Twilight shocked.
"There ain't anything a good old starbolt can't fixed." Said Dragonfire as he pointed to their cells and when they turned they saw the bars melted clean off shocking them.
"Now we have to hurry back to Ponyville—I overheard that some of Rainbow is still alive inside that nasty nogoodnick. We can still save her!" said Spike.
"Hey Spike?" said Dragonfire getting the attention of the young dragon.
"Yes?" asked Spike.
"Where did you get that necklace?" as Dragonfire pointed to the white crystal on Spike's neck.
"Oh I found it from where I landed and I noticed it was Rainbows, why?"
"Just wanted to know I gave that to Rainbow many years ago when I first met her. I thought Nightmare destroyed it but she didn't." said Dragonfire as Spike took off the necklace and gave it to Dragonfire who thank him before putting it on.
Just right when they were about to leave the door opened to reveal Larry's 'sidekick', "Not so fast!" he said angrily.
"Have a nice nap there? Ha-ha!" said Rarity as everyone tried to hold in their laughter. Making him angrier.
"You can't escape from me! I'll stop you and finally get the attention I deserve!" he said making everyone look at him with sad expressions.
"Do you really want to be friends with them? They're kinda mean to you." said Applejack
"Friends? We don't care about friends! Friends are unimportant."
"Are you loco? Friends are everything that is wonderful and nice and fluffy!" said Pinkie as she got next to him.
"I bet those mean boogers don't even know your name, do they?" said Applejack making him turn away from her.
"No, no they don't. Lar—I mean, Shadowfright says names are the most important element for being scary, but he doesn't even know my name." as Fluttershy and Dragonfire came up to him.
"How inconsiderate. What about your feelings?" said Fluttershy as she grabbed his arm making him turn away from her and crossed his arms.
"I know—I mean no! Friendship means nothing! It has no power!"
"I know you don't mean that, Friendship is what makes everything wonderful as Pinkie said, friendship are others that will be there for you on your ups and downs, they will understand you when no one else does, friendship is when someone stands with you no matter the situation even in the face of danger." Said Dragonfire as the smoke creature turned his back away from them not noticing the ponies glowing.
"It doesn't matter what you say, there is nothing you can do to escape my clutches." They all gave a smirk at one another before the room got enveloped in a bright light.
Meanwhile, in Ponyville...
Everypony in Ponyville were waiting for the Nightmare Forces to show up. They did what they could to make sure their homes wouldn't get destroyed. The Royal Guards were in a line with their spears ready. Soon enough a giant black cloud in the shape of a monster appeared over Ponyville. Celestia gave a glance at Luna, who was wearing armor, and saw the frightened look on her face.
"Sister? What's wrong? We need to focus. To lead them." said Celestia before Luna gained a determined look and readied her sword.
"Nothing is wrong. I will save these ponies—no matter what." said Luna as her horned glowed and sent a beam of magic to the cloud but it was swiped away by Nightmare.
"Really, must we go through all of this again? Bor-ring." Said Nightmare as she rolled her eyes at the pathetic attempt Luna made. "I see your still trying to fight back your fear and anger, Luna? Tsk-Tsk. Give into the darkness! Join the party."
"Never! I will defeat you alone!" Yelled Luna spreading her wings getting ready to attack.
All while this was happening Mayor Mare was looking at the crater near her as it was smoking a bit. 'If I was on that spot I could have...' thought Mayor Mare in fright as she walked away from the crater.
"Have Fun!" said Nightmare but mostly to the Nightmare creatures as they all grinned and started speeding to all the ponies. The Ponies saw this and started charging as well, soon the battle for Ponyville, for all of Equestria had begun.
Back at the Moon before the fight
Everyone was looking at Larry's 'Sidekick' as he was no longer a smoke creature but what he was before the Nightmare curse affected him.
"Wowwie zowwie, you look a kazillion times better than before." Said Pinkie Pie in excitement
"Agreed you look more dashing than before darling." Said Rarity.
"Darn tootin'." Said Applejack.
"Okay now that erm—what do we call you?" said Twilight.
"You may call me…Jerome." Said the now named Jerome as Twilight nodded.
"Okay now that we fixed Jerome we gotta find a way back to Equestria and save Ponyville." Said Twilight as everyone nodded before Dragonfire fell on one knee holding his head in pain.
He saw that he was in Ponyville and saw the battle happening, he saw Luna and Nightmare fighting in the sky before Nightmare hit Luna with a beam. Luna fell to the ground but suddenly smoke spikes appeared under her impaling her to death. He heard Celestia scream in agony as Nightmare laughed.
"Dragonfire are you okay?" said Fluttershy worried about her friend.
"I'm fine but I need to get to Equestria right now!" said Dragonfire.
"Why?" asked Twilight which made Dragonfire hesitant to tell them so he decided tell them something else.
"I might be able to stop Nightmare just enough for you girls to turn her back to Rainbow, besides Tia is gonna need all the help she can get and I can get there fast." Said Dragonfire as they all nodded.
"Okay but be careful alright." Said Fluttershy worriedly as Dragonfire nodded and gave her a hug, in which she returned.
"Don't worry Stutters, I'll be okay." Was all Dragonfire said before taking off into space and towards Equestria.
Ponyville Now
The battle was still raging on as everypony was doing everything they can to protect their home.
Mrs. Cake was hitting the Nightmares with pies, while Mr. Cake was hitting them with a cookie pan, all while the Baby Cakes were laughing from behind their parents.
Trixie was using her magic to repel the Nightmares.
Doctor Whooves was trying to get the small device to work, much to the confusion on the Nightmare cloud that was near him.
"I call this move 'The Kamikazi Karate Chop of Elderly Respect!'" said Granny Smith as she kicked a Nightmare cloud into a cart full of the Nightmare clouds.
"By the Mane of Miyagi!" said Big Mac shocked from seeing Granny Smith do that.
Zecora had one Nightmare cloud tied up while the other was in her potion bottle, "Owwl gwet wuuu!" said the Nightmare cloud muffling in the bottle.
Angel was cowering over a Nightmare cloud that was getting closer to him, "Awww, poor widdle bunny, ha!"
Angel looked scared until he gave a loud squeal, and everypony in Mrs. Cheerilee's class and the animals surrounded Angel looking at the Nightmare cloud with glares. While Angel himself gave a look that says 'What you gonna do now.'
The nightmare cloud look at everypony before running away in fright making them all cheer.
While this was going on Nightmare and Luna were battling each other in the sky. Luna and Nightmare were locked with their sword and spear.
"I can feel your bitterness, Luna! You can't deny it! It's a part of you...give in!" said Nightmare, which made Luna falter for a bit, as she hit her with a beam of magic.
"Ahh!" yelled Luna as fell to the ground.
"What a disappointment. That was so easy!" said Nightmare, "Though why don't we make things more interesting." As a dark smoke cloud appeared from where Luna was going to fall.
"Luna! No!" yelled Celestia as she tried to get save Luna but the Nightmare clouds stopped her.
Everypony else was watching in horror seeing their princess fall to the ground. Soon everypony saw that smoke cloud that was on the ground turn to spikes ready to impale the Lunar Princess. As Luna nearly fell on the spikes a white blur passed in between her and the spikes saving her from death. Everypony looked at the blur as it lowered itself in front of everypony and the light died down to show who it was.
It was Dragonfire that saved Luna, he then turned around and laid Luna gently on the floor, before turning to face Nightmare, who gave a glare before grinning.
"I see you escaped the moon, no matter its hopeless trying to save Rainbow, she is gone forever." Said Nightmare, before dodging a starbolt courtesy of Dragonfire.
"Shut up! I know Rainbow is still in there and I will do anything to get her back!" said Dragonfire with a glare before looking back at everypony behind him, "Though let's fight somewhere else, I don't want anyone to get hurt here."
"Like some knave is gonna command me muahah—" was all Nightmare said before she felt herself being pulled back and saw Dragonfires hand in her face. 'W-what!? He's faster than I imagined.' She thought in shocked. She waited a few seconds before Dragonfire threw her to the ground just outside of Ponyville, and a huge smoke cloud was created, Dragonfire landed outside of the cloud waiting for Nightmare to get out.
He then flew up as a beam on magic was sent to his direction before dodging as more magic beams were sent towards him. He heard a yell and saw Nightmare coming out of the smoke with her spear ready to impale Dragonfire, but he narrowly dodge, and punched Nightmare with a starbolt infused punch and knocked her back to the ground.
"How dare you! You shall die pest!" said Nightmare angrily readying her spear.
Dragonfire frowned before getting in his fighting stance as his hand glowed. None of the two made any sudden movements until a cloud covered the moon in which both moved towards each other at great speeds. If one were to see them all they would see were blurs and shockwaves from the attacks.
They soon separated as they slid on the ground both breathing slightly as Dragonfires wounds closed from being slashed by the spear. Dragonfire then flew towards Nightmare ready to punch her, but Nightmare brought her spear up to block the punch but was shocked at what happened next. When Dragonfire punch the spear it broke in half, before he punch her in the gut sending her back to the ground.
Dragonfire walked up to Nightmare before grabbing on her armor and lifting her up to face him, "Rainbow can you hear me, please you have to fight it, come back?" but he hears Nightmare chuckled a bit with her eyes closed.
"Still trying that pathetic attempt." Said Nightmare as she opened her eyes and they glowed a bit before the clouds came together and a lighting bolt was sent down and towards them.
Dragonfire looked up, before the lightning bolt hit both him and Nightmare, knocking him away from her.
"GAHHH!" he yelled as he landed on the ground before trying to get up but was paralyze for a bit.
"Haven't I told you it's useless, give up already. You're an idiot if you believe you can save Rainbow." Said Nightmare as she got up.
Dragonfire jumps on his legs stretching a bit getting rid of the paralysis, "If it's the only way then I'll be an idiot a million times over to save her." He said before unleashing a barrage of starbolts in which Nightmare retaliated with magic beams. This continued for some time before Nightmare flew towards Dragonfire, with her fist back ready to punch his face.
Dragonfire moved his head slightly before uppercutting Nightmare in which she kicked his face as she was going up. Nightmare stayed on the air with a gentle flap of her wings as Dragonfire did a couple of flips before he flew up to her at great speeds with his hands on fire. Nightmare did the same but her hands her coated with magic. They both met in the air as they both punch each other's fists creating a shockwave as the clouds separated.
In Ponyville
Everypony even the Nightmare clouds were hearing and watching the battle going on between Dragonfire and Nightmare. They couldn't help bit shiver a little feeling the power the two were releasing, even from far away their power was almost insane. The guards couldn't help but feel goosebumps as the power was almost the same when Celestia and Luna get mad.
Celestia was looking at Luna making sure she was alright and sighed in relief when Luna opened her eyes. Luna saw everypony looking at her with smiles which confused her but Shadowfright started speaking.
"How quaint, you're STILL going to protect her? After she betrayed you all and let your town be destroyed?" said Shadowfright grinning.
"Yes forever!" said Sweetie Belle as everypony, even though they were a little tired and beaten up, all gathered around the Lunar Princess and glared at the Nightmares.
"My bitterness and anger transformed me into Nightmare Moon before. I fear it could happen again. It's MY burden." Said Luna sadly as she sat up looking to the ground, but felt a hand under her chin and looked up to see Celestia.
"It isn't your burden to bear alone, sister. Believe me." Said Celestia as Scootaloo came up and placed her hand on Lunas shoulders.
"Like we'd let that happen?! You're one of us now!" said Scootaloo as everypony was still smiling at Luna.
"One of you?" asked Luna as she felt another hand and looked to see Applebloom smiling at her,
"Well, sure! You are as much part of Ponyville as Mr. & Mrs. Cake, or Joe or Twist—"
"Hiya!" said an Anthro Earth pony with a peach coat and orange hair with purple glasses, much to the amusement of Applebloom and the confusion of Luna.
Luna looked down as she slowly started getting up, "With all of you beside me, maybe…maybe I don't need to fear my past…or future."
"Whatever comes, we face it together—like a big 'ol family does." Said Granny Smith with a grin.
Luna looked at everypony, "My dear Friends, If we are to fight together, then I must be honest with you. I've been hiding my fear and my past from you, but now there is no hiding. It lies in front of us, and I cannot face it alone." Said Luna as the pointed to the Nightmare Clouds, "If you can forgive me, I swear I will never abandon you as I abandoned the denizens of the moon. I will never let my fear of becoming Nightmare Moon stop me from defending you."
"Everypony deserves a second chance—even a third chance!" said Trixie.
"Trust in yourself, and in your friends. You're a princess Luna now and forever." Said Celestia as her horn was glowing.
Luna closed her eyes as her horn glowed and she was covered by her magic. When it died down Luna changed.
Her once purple-blue coat was now a very dark almost midnight-blue, and her short light blue hair was now longer like Celestia's but it was dark blue with grayish blue around it and it seemed to be rippling and sparkling that made one think of stars.
"Together we will defeat the Nightmare energy, and it will never hurt anypony ever again!" said Luna as everypony cheered before seeing two beams in the sky, one white and one teal, they saw the teal beam getting longer and longer until there was an explosion. They saw something coming towards them and landed in between them and the Nightmares and created smoke.
When the smoke disappeared they saw Dragonfire on the floor, with cuts and bruises, with his top armor completely off leaving him shirtless. They heard a scoff and saw Nightmare, with cuts and bruises as well, floating down infront of the Nightmares.
"Ryuand'r!" yelled Celestia as she knelt down near him, "Please don't strain yourself." As he tried to get up.
"You are ALL fools! Love! Trust! Friendship! BLEH! Try Power! Fear! Darkness!" yelled Nightmare as she saw Scootaloo pointing at her.
"You cant be Rainbow. She would never say such an awful thing!..." said Scootaloo before lowering her hand, "But why do you FEEL like her?"
'Scootaloo?' Thought Nightmare as her eyes changed for a bit before returning to slits.
"Cant you see? You have Nothing left! I've even held your Element bearers prisoners!" said Nightmare to them.
"Then who are those young whippersnappers flying through the air?" said Granny Smith squinting her eyes in the sky which made everypony turn.
They saw the rest of the Mane Six coming floating down but each had different colors surrounding them. Applejack was Green, Pinkie Pie was Pink, Fluttershy was Yellow, Rarity was Blue and Twilight was Purple.
"Silly Scary Lady, friendship is stronger than fear will ever be!" said Pinkie floating upside down as Luna flew to them.
"You're all okay!" yelled Luna in happiness.
"Feh! Darling please who could possibly stop us?" said Rarity as she waved her hand in an almost teasing manner.
"Now show us what ya got!" said Applejack.
"Certainly" said Luna as her horned glowed and was surrounded by the Mane Fives magic before she sent a beam to the Nightmare clouds.
"What im…" said Shadowfright as the beam went through him and he changed. He looked like a humanoid bird without wings, he has purple feathers with orange on his beak that connects to his stomach, he has golden eyes with dark purple feathers around them, "…me!" he said in shock. And soon all the Nightmare Clouds returned to normal.
"There's just one more tiny problem to deal with." Said Twilight as they gathered around Nightmare.
"We're gonna ask nicely—once—give her back." Said Applejack as a dark aura was surrounding Nightmare.
"No." was all Nightmare said before they zapped her with their magic. Luna then walked towards Nightmare and touched Nightmare's horn with hers.
"Your darkness cannot survive in the light. Loosen your grip on Rainbow's loyal heart and let her speak." Said Luna
"Guys! You came for me! You didn't forget me!" said Nightmare in Rainbows voice.
"Dear Celestia, they really sucked into your brain didn't they?" asked Rarity concentrating on her magic.
"You mean, you wouldn't forget about me due to me being rash and lazy?!" said Rainbow as she was appearing through the shadow.
"Why would we do that?" said Fluttershy looking at Rainbow with a smile, before the shadow started to cover Rainbow.
"Please, no! I don't want to go back! It was so cold and lonely—and I wasn't helping anypony! I was hurting them!" said Rainbow as the shadow covered her completely to reveal Nightmare once again and blasted the ponys back for a bit, "Bwah-ha-ha! There is no power that can stop me now! Your body is mine! You will be remembered Rainbow, but as the darkest and cruelest ruler ever known!" said Nightmare before hearing a voice.
"T-that's not true!" she turned to the voice and saw that it was Dragonfire slowly walking towards her, but before Nightmare could attack him the ponies used their magic to hold her in place.
"R-Ryu?" said Nightmare as Rainbows voice once again.
Dragonfire walked until he was in front of Rainbow/Nightmare and smiled, "Hey Crash, been a long time."
"This is a fake Rainbow remember he doesn't like you he's gonna leave you into the wolves when he gets that chance." Said Nightmare as Dragonfire looked down.
"Your right I don't like Rainbow…" said Dragonfire as Rainbow felt her heart break, "I love her! I love her competitiveness when we raced as kids. I love the way that she prides herself with her flying. I love the way she laughs when we play pranks. So your right I don't like her I love her, so please Rainbow," as Dragonfire placed his hand on her cheek and the white crystal started to glow, "come back to me, to your friends, come back home."
Dragonfire then kissed Rainbow on the lips in which she returned as her heart melted. The Nightmare shadow started to slowly fade away as white fire surrounded them as they continued to kiss. Soon the Nightmare shadow completely vanished and everypony was cheering as they saw Rainbow once again. But soon both Dragonfire and Rainbow dropped to the floor unconscious, which made them worried a bit before taking them to the hospital.
A Week Later
Heterochromatic eyes opened for the first time in a week, the eyes looked around and saw that there were in a hospital room. With a grunt the person got up and walked to the window and saw many anthro ponies walking and flying around with happy expressions on their face. Before the person could do anything the door opened to reveal a sky-blue anthro Pegasus pony with rainbow colored hair.
"Ryu?! Your up!" said Rainbow as she hugged the now known Ryu in which he returned.
"Hey Crash." Said Dragonfire before Rainbow kissed his lips, in which he returned, they kept on kissing before hearing a cough and saw the rest of the Mane Six and the Princesses.
"Hehehe hey girls, Tia." Said Dragonfire as they all waved back as Celestia walked up to Dragonfire and hugged him.
"It's good to see you alright Ryu, Rainbow was worried when she still saw you unconscious and hasn't left your side for 4 days." Said Celestia chuckling seeing the blush on Rainbows face, "So when will you be leaving Ryu?"
"W-wait what do you mean leaving Princess?" said Twilight glancing at Dragonfire before looking back at her friend.
"What I mean is that Ryu will need to leave to his sisters and since he is a prince, he will need to go back to Tamaran." Rainbow looked down as tears were about to fall, before Dragonfire wiped them away.
"Don't worry Crash I won't leave for a week and also Tia my k'norfka Galfore is waiting until I come to age before I take the throne." Said Dragonfire and smiled when Rainbow punched his arm.
"Darn it Dragonfire, I told you to stop calling me Crash." She says smiling before gesturing to her friends, "I know you haven't been introduce properly so lets do that now. These are my friends Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack and Twilight Sparkle. Guys this is Dragonfire or Ryuand'r."
"Hello." Said Twilight with a slight bush.
"Howdy." Said Applejack as she tipped her hat.
"Hello Darling." Said Rarity as she looked at Twilight, who had a slight blush, before giving a strained smile and only he caught.
"HI! WE GOTTA HAVE A PARTY FOR YOU FOR COMING TO PONYVILLE AND BEING RAINBOWS FRIEND AND ALSO SAVING PONYVILLE! OMG SO MUCH—"
"PINKIE PIE!" yelled the rest of the Mane Six which earned a chuckle from Dragonfire.
"Sorry about that, she's always likes a party, and meeting new people and ponies." Said Rainbow as Dragonfire nodded, before spending the day getting to know her friends.
A Week Later
It had been a week since Dragonfire regained consciousness that he was in front of Ponyville getting ready to leave back home. He enjoyed his time here in Ponyville getting to know Rainbow's friends. They were all great people to be around, actually even in Ponyville, all the ponies where nice and caring to one another.
Before he could think anymore he heard Rainbow from above, that when he looked up, she crashed into him laughing the whole time. It was another thing he dealt with ever since he woke up. Rainbow always crashed into him everytime she saw him, not that he minded since she did that when they were kids.
He gave a chuckle as he hugged her, in which she returned, "That's like the hundredth time you've done that this week, Crash." Said Dragonfire.
"I don't hear you complaining Ryu." Said Rainbow with a smirk, but there was sadness in her eyes which he caught.
"Hey don't worry Rainbow you know I'll come to visit you." said Dragonfire trying to make her smile.
"I know but you'll be far away, it was 5 days from Tamaran to here and from the planet your now living in its 4 days from Tamaran, so it's a total on 9 days to get here. You only got here earlier because you wanted to see me. I know I'm being selfish but I don't want you to go." Said Rainbow as she placed her head on his chest not wanting to have him see her cry.
"Rainbow—" was all Dragonfire said before Rainbow looked up and slammed her lips against his. Dragonfire was a little shocked at was Rainbow was doing before giving into the kiss not noticing the rest of Rainbow's friends and Princess Celestia and Luna arriving.
They all blushed a little seeing Rainbow and Dragonfire kissing in the ground before turning to shock as white and blue fire started to envelop them, but before the Mane six could to anything they were stopped by Princess Celestia.
"Don't do anything my little ponies, Rainbow and Ryu aren't in any danger." Said Celestia calmly as she smiled.
"B-But princess they could get burned, we have to help them." said Twilight looking at the fire.
"Don't worry Twilight it's a culture from Tamaran to find their mate or true love." She said shocking the rest of them as the fire died down to see Rainbow and Dragonfire hugging each other.
"P-please don't leave Ryu." Whispered Rainbow as Dragonfire gave a frown.
"But I need to Rainbow, if I don't Starfire and Blackfire and my friends will get worried." said Dragonfire before a flash blinded everyone for a bit before it died down to show a woman with white hair and blue streaks, white eyes, and pale skin.
"Tsuki?!" said Dragonfire a bit confused seeing her here, "What are you doing here?"
"What?" said Tsuki giving a pout, "Can't I come to see my mate and new sister?" She said giggling seeing the blush on Dragonfire and Rainbows faces.
"Uhm excuse me but who are you?" said Fluttershy whispering feeling the aura Tsuki was giving.
"My names Tsuki and I'm Ryu-kuns mate, well one of his mates." Said Tsuki calmly.
"W-wait one of his mates?" asked Rarity.
"Yep Starfire and Blackfire are the others, though with Rainbow that's 4 mates." Said Tsuki before seeing the small sad look on Fluttershy's face, which made her raise an eyebrow, before grinning a bit.
"But really Tsuki what are you doing here?" said Dragonfire finally standing with Rainbow next to him.
"Well I thought since your gonna miss your friends here I can help make the trip shorter." She said making everyone look at her.
"How?" asked Celestia a little curious about Tsuki, before right behind Tsuki a black portal opened almost like a mouth.
"What in tarnation is that?!" yelled Applejack shocked at what she was seeing.
"This is called a Garganta or Black Cavity. It's a portal that connects from point A, which is the user, to Point B the location that the user wants and it'll shorten the trip drastically. I mostly use it for long distances such as this." Said Tsuki making everyone nod slightly at the portal.
"S-so that means I can come visit Rainbow and everyone else here whenever I can?" said Dragonfire with a bit of happiness.
"Uhm...Dragonfire I actually want to go with you." said Rainbow with a determine face.
"But Rainbow what about your friends here, what if another incident happens and your not here?" said Dragonfire a bit shocked at what Rainbow said.
"M-me t-too." Whispered Fluttershy but Dragonfire heard her.
"Wait you too Fluttershy?" he asked as Fluttershy nodded before looking down.
"Like Tsuki said it's only a short trip using that portal thing and if something does come we'll be back here fast." Said Rainbow not backing down.
"But Rainbow if you come people with be wary of you and Fluttershy for looking different." Said Dragonfire not wanted them to be hurt from what people will think of them.
"I don't care, if they got a problem with me I can just knock them out, and if they make Fluttershy cry I'll buck them into next week." She said still determined to be with Dragonfire.
Dragonfire gave a sigh, but he was smiling since Rainbow was going, he can't wait to see Alice's reaction when she sees Rainbow knowing that she like ponies.
"Very well, who knows maybe you too can become heroines and join the Titans." Said Dragonfire with a chuckle as they all said goodbye to their friends before following Tsuki into the portal.
They saw that it was really dark and they were standing on a white floor that seemed to grow with each step that Tsuki took. It took them about a while, about 6 hours, before they saw a bright light signaling that they had made it.
When they got out Dragonfire saw that they were on the roof of Titans tower and saw Jump city in the distance as it was close to sunset. He gave a smile before leading them with Rainbow grabbing his hand the entire way. Fluttershy saw this and looked to the ground in sadness with a bit of anger. She felt someone grab her shoulder which made her jump and looked up to see Tsuki giving her a smile.
"Don't worry Fluttershy, you'll get your chance to tell Dragonfire you love him." said Tsuki which made Fluttershy blush and poke her fingers.
They soon reached the living room and saw Cyborg, Beastboy, and Robin playing video games. Starfire and Raven were by the window meditating. Dragonfire gave Tsuki a silent signal to scare them in which she grinned as they both walked towards them, Tsuki to the guys and Dragonfire to the girls. As soon as they were right behind them Dragonfire and Tsuki used a powerful roar to scare them.
They all screamed in fright as they jumped up which made Dragonfire, Tsuki and Rainbow laugh on the floor. Soon Dragonfire was hugged by Starfire in which he returned before they both got up.
"Brother you returned!" said Starfire as she smiled widely.
"Yeah I did, say where's Blackfire?" he asked looking around not noticing a figure behind him until it was too late.
The figure grabbed him, and pinned him to the floor, when Dragonfire opened his eyes he saw that it was Blackfire and she was on top of him. He blushed a bit before Blackfire kissed him on the lips, which he gave in returned.
"You let your guard down little bro." said Blackfire with a smirk on her face, before getting up.
"So what has been happening since I've been gone?" asked Dragonfire before they told him of a villain called Red X but was really Robin trying to get information from Slade, and a few crimes here and there but it wasn't something they could handle.
Dragonfire was listening to them but he could tell they were hiding something from him.
"Guys? Is there something else that happened?" he asked which made everyone turn to Blackfire, which made her sigh, but she told him.
"Dragonfire…Alice's school was invaded, and every kid was kidnapped including her." said Blackfire before an insane pressure weigh them down. They looked towards Dragonfire and say that he was covered in white fire with a few flickers of black as it broke through the tower and into the sky as he screamed in rage.
Unknown Location
"What was that?" said a man as he looked to the screens holding the young mutants.
"Sir, scanners pick up a huge power source in Jump City." said a women in a military uniform.
"Can you pinpoint its location, Cadet." Said the man.
"Negative sir, the power covered the entire city and it just disappeared so finding it would be near impossible to track." Said the Cadet.
"Keep an eye on the scanners, and tell me if the power comes up again."
"Yes Sir Striker, Sir." Saluted the Cadet before going back to her job.
'Interesting power to even feel that from here. I must find it and harness it for Project Omega.' thought the now known Striker, as he turned his attention back to the kids he noticed a green skinned girl perk up from her cell before laying back down. "Hmm interesting." Said Striker.
In the Cells Below
"Ryu?" said Alice as she perked up from her cell feeling his power, though she couldn't understand why, maybe she just misses him. 'Yeah that's probably it.' thought Alice before she laid back down crying herself to sleep.
