Finale of the Guardians and Ponies: Future Royal Couple and Twin Yin and Yang Dragons

Current Royal Guard-in-training Shining Armor walked alongside his LSBFF Twilight Sparkle, her guardian Titanium Dragonoid relaxing on her shoulder. Also with them is Twilight's foal-sitter and Shining's secret crush Princess Cadence. The group was walking through the gentle breezes of Canterlot Park to find a place to relax and talk about current events.

Shining Armor smiled when he looked down at the Dragonoid riding on his little sister's shoulder. He became fast friends with Drago, mainly because he was his LSBFF's guardian, ensuring her safety before his own. He also likes the fact that the Bakugan was a soldier. Shining admired individuals who have a purpose of what they fight for. His and Drago's? Twilight Sparkle. On the other hoof, er... in this case claw, Drago enjoyed Shining Armor's company because both him and the older Unicorn try their best to help others in need.

Cadence had taken Drago's arrival rather well also. He had served them well, defending Twilight and Cadence from a group of muggers during the evening, yesterday exactly.

Flashback

Drago leaped forward and slammed the last mugger into the wall, before blasting him point blank with an enormous stream of fire. The mugger fell to the ground, roasted but still alive. Drago smiled as he turned back into ball form and landed onto Twilight's shoulder. Drago hated muggers.

Flashback end

As the soon-to-be royal couple sat down, Twilight Sparkle sitting down between them, along with Drago sitting promptly on her shoulder, the group took out their lunch. A beautifully made picnic by Shining Armor, which Drago, Cadence, and Twilight were all surprised at since the tough Royal Guard wasn't such a good cook in their eyes. Drago turned into his Bakugan form and helped spread out the checkered blanket that held their picnic: a golden treasure-trove of goods, from chocolate, salads, daisy sandwiches, even a giant cake! Courtesy of the Cakes, of course. Twilight's mouth watered as she took in the delicious sight.

"Can I eat now, BBBFF?" she asked, her stomach growling. Shining chuckled.

"Now, now, Twily, I think that the guardian who saved both you and Cadence should get the first bite," he said, gesturing to the Bakugan laying down the bowl of salad and heating it with his Pyrus powers. He looked up when he heard his name and blushed before holding his head back down.

"I... thanks, Shining," Drago replied, taking a chocolate and popping it into his maw. The other three chuckled before digging in as well.

Unbeknown to the group, two capsules were hurtling in from the heavens... one carrying the Black Yin Dragon known as Zekrom, the other carrying the White Yang Dragon known as Reshiram. Zekrom was...Drago's brother! His parents had kept the young electricity dragon hidden from the Gargonoids, and after Vestroia's destruction, said world's royal family, the Flames, had placed Zekrom into the capsule. Their daughter Reshiram was also one of the survivors, and was promptly sent as well with a promise from Zekrom to protect her, as any friend should.

Shining and Drago both saw something glinting from the sky and sprung into action.

"LOOK OUT!" they both yelled before Drago leaped forward and tackled Twilight out of harm's way. Shining did the same with Cadence before the two capsules slammed into the picnic blanket. An enormous explosion of dust occurred before the four opened their eyes. Drago and Shining hurled themselves protectively in front of Twilight and Cadence. Shining drew his sword, his eyes glinting with anger. Drago's fangs were filled with fire, and his body was glowing red with his Titanium Hummer, allowing him to reach enormous surges of speed and strength.

The capsules blew open, and the imposing shape of Zekrom, alongside the delicate, feminine shape of Reshiram, walked through the smoke that poured through the air from the wreckage. The flames broiling in Drago's mouth went out, and his eyes filled with tears as the red aura surrounding his body slowly faded away.

"Z...Zekrom? Re…Reshiram?" he whispered before hurtling forward like a nuke. Zekrom wiped the dust from his eyes with an enormous claw before grunting and looking up to see...his brother slamming into him.

"Drago!" he cried out as his brother wrapped him into an enormous hug, tears running freely down his face.

"I thought that the destruction of Vestroia got you two as well..." Drago sobbed as Zekrom wrapped his own arms around his LBBFF affectionately.

"I've missed you too, little bro." He then freed his little brother so that he can hug Reshiram, who simply smiled as she hugged back her young Dragonoid charge.

"Oh, Drago," she said as her black dragon friend watched them embrace. "You have no idea how much I've missed your sweet smile."

"Wh…Who are you?" came a timid voice from beside them. Zekrom and Reshiram released Drago from their hug and turned around to come face-to-face with a surprised Cadence and Shining Armor. When Zekrom's crimson eyes met Shining's sapphire eyes, and when Reshiram's sapphire eyes met Cadence's amethyst eyes, the two duos felt burning pain and let out cries of pain. Shining Armor's Cutie Mark, a large purple shield bearing the symbol of the Sparkle family, engraved itself into Zekrom's enormous left shielded claw. Zekrom's symbol, an enormous bolt of crackling blue lighting, burned itself into Shining's left forehoof. Cadence's Cutie Mark, a crystal heart, burned itself into Reshiram's right wing. Reshiram's mark, a huge ball of fire, engraved itself into Cadence's right forehoof. Now the four were partners and guardians.

"Wh…What is this mark on my hoof? And who are you two?" Shining Armor demanded. Zekrom, still dazed, nodded and explained the whole guardian and partner concept to the shocked Shining Armor and Princess Cadence before introducing himself and Reshiram.

"My name's Zekrom. I'm Drago's older brother and best friend and a Royal Knight-in-training to the Royal Flame Family of Vestroia. The white dragon with me is my friend and Drago's dragon-sitter Princess Reshiram, the sole survivor of the Royal Family." Reshiram lowered her head and sighed when he mentioned it.

Cadence smiled softly as she took her new guardian's claw in her hoof tenderly, and Reshiram smiled back softly.

"I'm so sorry about your family," the Princess of True Love replied, "but you have no need to fear. Now that you and I are partner and guardian, you're now part of my Royal Family now, just like my Aunt Celestia's guardian Ladies Arceus is." Reshiram's eyes went wide with surprise and delight.

"My aunt's here?!" she cried before gathering her new partner into an affectionate embrace. "Oh, Cadence, you have no idea how much those news mean to me!" Shining and Twilight turned to Drago and Zekrom with surprise.

"Uh…did we forget to mention that Reshiram's also the niece of Lady Arceus?" Drago asked as he and his brother simultaneously rubbed the back of their necks with sheepish chuckles.

"Sounds like quite the surprise coming the Princesses' way," Shining laughed. "And something tells me that we're gonna get a long great Zekrom, especially since we're both Knights-in-training. And I think you'll be happy to know that Drago here has been named Lady Arceus' personal protégé, just like his partner/my little sister Twilight here is now Princess Celestia's personal protégé." The black dragon turned to his red brother in reply.

"You got yourself a partner and became Lady Arceus' student?" he asked with a smile before pulling him into a playful dragon noogie. "Drag, you've gone and made me proud, ya little rascal!"

"Zek, knock it off!" the red Dragonoid laughed, trying to get out of his grip.

Afterwards, the group went to visit the Sun Princess and the Lady of Light to surprise them. And let me tell you, Arceus was very surprised; she and Reshiram were crying and hugging each other for over ten minutes! Shining's trainer and parents also welcomed Zekrom with open forelegs, especially when he has so much in common with his new partner. And Zekrom also became quite fond of his and Drago's new foster sister Skyress as any older brother should.

To the future royal couple and their new dragon guardians who will soon wed each other as well, it was the beginning of something wonderful.
