Gaia Everfree and the Forest Dragon Subterra
"Okay, let me get this straight: Gloriosa has been the one causing those incidents during the week of camp and Timber has been covering her making it look like Gaia Everfree was free and there's also a dragon at the rock quarry." Flash said, getting all that Sunset and Tohru told him as they sneak to the rock quarry.
"Yep, and we're going to see this dragon to get the final piece of the puzzle." Sunset said as they reach the rock quarry and seeing a glowing light from the inside.
"I can definitely smell dragon in there." Tohru sniffed.
"I better text Twilight, she needs to know about this." Sunset pulled out her cellphone and started texting Twilight.
"Like telling her that her future boyfriend is involve in something dangerous that he's trying stop his sister from doing." Flash guessed.
"I'll just tell her to come to the rock quarry, we'll explain this once she gets here." Sunset stated.
(With Twilight and Spike)
Twilight is inside her tent reading one of her favorite books and Spike is napping next to her dreaming about squirrels and doggy treats.
"Hey Twilight, have you seen Flash? He ran off from the dock we finished." Lucoa asked as she walks in.
"No, though I haven't seen Tohru either." Twilight mentioned.
"Maybe she's cooking her tail for your dinner." Spike joked half a sleep.
Then Twilight's cellphone rang, she picks it up from the nightstand seeing she got a text.
"It's Sunset, she says to meet her by the rock quarry." Twilight said.
"I thought we weren't supposed to hike out that far." Spike recalled hearing that rule.
"She says it's important! And that Tohru is with her and Flash that there's a dragon in the rock quarry!" Twilight shocked at the last part.
"So, there is a dragon here in camp." Lucoa said.
"We better get over there, fast." Twilight jumped off the bed and ran out the tent with Spike and Lucoa behind.
(Rock Quarry)
Twilight, Lucoa, and Spike made their way to where Sunset, Tohru, and Flash are as they hide behind a couple of trees.
"Flash, you should know better than to go off without me knowing." Lucoa punted.
"Sorry, but it was sudden." Flash apologized and promise to make it up to her.
"What's going on down there?" Twilight asked about the glowing light in the cave.
"Let just say that the dragon in there is our Gaia Everfree and Gloriosa knows it." Sunset informed with a hint shocking Twilight.
"Let go inside, Luoca and I will lead in case things get messy." Tohru said and the others walk slowly into the cave.
Inside the cave are filled with spikes on the floor and the ceiling along with some glowing raspberry colored crystals on the walls and pillars.
"This place is beautiful." Twilight admired the scenery of the rock quarry.
"There's Equestrian magic here. I can... I can feel it." Sunset pointed out.
"All the way out her from the school?" Flash confused that Equestrian magic happens around back at Canterlot High.
"I bet this what Timber was trying to tell Gloriosa to "let go" earlier." Tohru theorized.
"You mean like Timber covering for Gloriosa as the culprit?" Spike asked.
"Okay, now you guys will have explain to me what exactly is going on here?" Twilight confused.
"Why don't ask her, right Gloriosa?" Lucoa said as she and everyone turns around seeing Gloriosa coming out of hiding from the shadows.
"I guess dragon noses are a lot stronger than dogs, no offense to your dog, Twilight." Gloriosa commented.
"None taken." Spike shrugged.
"And I think you can show yourself as well… Subterra." Lucoa called out.
"Hehehe, you always knew where to find me like how we used to play hide and seek centuries ago." A woman said revealing herself.
The woman has dark green hair, which is made of leaves and little sticks, large branches on her head as the horns, and crystal green eyes with black dagger pupils. Her arms and legs are plant like appendages that look like wood, vines with leaves wrap around her large breasts and leaves around her waist acting as underwear, and a long leafy cape behind her. Breasts sizes: GG-cup.
"It's been a long time, Lucoa." Subterra greeted.
"You know that dragon?" Flash asked curious.
"Yes, she was a friend of mine and the forest dragon as her power lets her control the nature of the forest." Lucoa explained.
"To be honest, I never expected to see you here when I sensed your magic power from here." Subterra said.
"So, what exactly are you up to with a dragon near camp?" Sunset asked walking closer to Gloriosa.
"Well, that's…" Gloriosa tried to tell them, but Sunset decided to find that out through her mind as she touches the camp woman.
(Mindscape, Gloriosa's Memories)
Gloriosa is seen talking with Filthy Rich in her office as the businessman is holding a shiny pearl in his hand.
"I got to say, Gloriosa, you certainly surprise me with this pearl." Filthy Rich commented.
"Does that mean that camp stays?" Gloriosa asked with pleading hope in her eyes.
"Let me see here…" Filthy looked through the calculator app on his phone and tap in the numbers of the money one pearl is worth and the payment that Gloriosa owed.
"Good news is that you just covered 88% of the payment you fell behind, you just need to pay the other 12%." Filthy handed Gloriosa the bill of the 12% she owes.
"What? But that's still more than in the camp's budget!" Gloriosa gasped.
"Sorry, ma'am, that just how the numbers work." Filthy shrugged.
"Please. My great grandparents founded this place. It's been in our family for generations! You have to let the camp stay!" Gloriosa begged.
"Consider you payed most of the bills, I'll give you one month." Filthy offered before leaving.
The memory changes to Gloriosa crying near a little pound asking herself of what to do, then she saw a magic sparkly mist flying over the trees and heading for the rock quarry. She goes into the rock quarry and saw the stone containing colorfully little geos, she grabs the geodes and suddenly felt something strange as she tries to pull her arm out and fell only to be caught by branches and leaves that came out of the ground.
"It would seem that fate has brought you here for a reason." Subterra revealed herself to Gloriosa as she holds the magical geos.
"Are you… Gaia Everfree?" Gloriosa asked.
"Gaia Everfree, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time. My name is Subterra, forest dragon and protector of this forest." Subterra introduced.
"So, the story about my great-grandparents about meeting a magical creature of the forest was you." Gloriosa realized shock, Subterra nodded.
"I know of your trouble as the trees speaks to me about this man trying to take away the forest and the camp, perhaps we can help each other." Subterra offered a hand to Gloriosa, and she accepts it without hesitation.
The memory changed to where Gloriosa and Timber are in the camp office arguing.
"You don't know what those things are!" Timber pointed out.
"But I know what they can do! I've been practicing with Subterra! She showed me how to control them." Gloriosa stated as she made the plants in the pot grow longer.
"You don't know that for sure! Even Subterra admits as she never seen magic like that before." Timber said before walking out of the office.
The memory change to Gloriosa and Subterra sitting down in the cave.
"I just get why Timber doesn't understand, this is our camp, and it's being taken away!" Gloriosa yelled in anger.
"Your brother lacks the passion and love you share with the forest; I just hope these campers don't latter woods. He would rather live in those big cities than spending his life here." Subterra said.
"Don't worry, I'm going to use whatever it takes to make this camp stay whether some people like it or not." Gloriosa determined.
"And I will be by your side should anything ever happened to threaten you." Subterra promised making Gloriosa smiles.
The memory changes when Gloriosa was trying to help the campers have fun like with Derpy and Sandalwood on the boat pushing it with vines from underwater, but the boat crash into the dock. Next, she cleared away from rocks to make the water flow in the water for Trixie and Micro Chip to go fishing, but the rocks caused the earthquake near camp.
Memory change to Timber and Gloriosa arguing again in the boat house.
"You were using magic all over the place! I had to tell them something to cover for you! What did you want me to do?!" Timber asked worry.
"I just wish you didn't tell them that ridiculous story!" Gloriosa snapped.
"Ah, this is all too much for you! You have to let it go!" Timber warned.
"At least "She" believes I can do it!" Gloriosa said.
"That lizard woman is just crazy, and you know it." Timber argued.
(Mindscape End)
"So, that what Timber meant about letting, it's the magical geodes! All those things you were doing to make this week the best week ever." Sunset revealed.
"But those times you used the magic cause problems at camp while Timber was covering for you." Tohru added.
"I expected the dragons to know about magic, but how do you know about it?" Gloriosa asked.
"It's because they possessed magic powers as well, but I fear they want to stand in our way to keep the forest safe from men." Subterra glared as she wooden arm forms into claws.
"Okay, let's not do anything we might regret later." Flash said hoping to prevent a fight breaking out.
"He's right, I know how far you would go to keep nature safe like what you did to those human travelers 200 years ago." Lucoa mentioned.
"Those humans caused that fire and cutting down the trees where some animals were still living in them, I had to do something or else this land would've been a wasteland now." Subterra stated.
"And even paying that stupid man the money, he still wants to tear down the camp and make into a spa! Well, I don't think so." Gloriosa angered as she walks to the last to geodes.
"Stop, you don't what you're about to do!" Sunset warned.
"Gloriosa, Timber wasn't wrong. Maybe you should stop using magic. Too much of it can be dangerous if you can't control it." Twilight tried to reason with her, but suddenly got trapped in vines.
"Do NOT stand in her way, human." Subterra glared before moving the vines forcing Twilight down.
"Hey, nobody hurts my Twilight!" Tohru angered charging at Subterra with a punch.
Subterra blocks the punch with her wooden arm and vines pop out wrapping around Tohru slamming her to the ground and trapping her there.
"Hey!" Flash zapped a little lightning bolt at Subterra that stun her a bit.
"How dare hurt her!" Gloriosa grabbed the last two geodes and she started changing.
Her hair has become wild-like of Moderate cyan and light brilliant turquoise, black eyes with light green pupils, and Ceriseish gray skin. Her clothing has also been altered into a wicked plant lady theme with some dark colors. The kind, loving Gloriosa is no more as this woman stands or float with magical power searching through her body, and she like it.
"This feels incredible!" Gloriosa laughed crazy as she spurts vines under Flash, Sunset, and Lucoa trapping them. Of course, Spike got caught too.
"And to make sure you don't interfere, Lucoa!" Subterra summoned a wood dragon wrapping around Lucoa as it bites her on the neck.
"Lucoa!" Flash gasped.
"Do not worry, my wood dragon only sealed her magic powers enough so that she can't escape considering she's a form dragon Goddess." Subterra explained.
"Subterra! You should know better that this isn't the way!" Lucoa stated.
"And you should know that there are times when things call for desperate measures." Subterra countered before walking away with Gloriosa.
Lucoa notice that Subterra's eyes were different, now the white part is now completely black like Gloriosa's in her new form.
"Sorry, girls. I know what I need to do. But I feel like we're not on the same page. So..." Gloriosa said sealed the cave with the huge rocks.
"Looks like the campers are about to get to know the forest dragon herself." Gloriosa excited.
"Indeed, the time has come for them to witness the true Gaia Everfree." Subterra said before transforming into a long giant dragon with trees and bushes growing on her body.
Gloriosa smiles seeing how amazing and beautiful Subterra is in her dragon form and jump on her head before they fly off into the sky and headed for camp.
(Camp Everfree, Dock)
Rarity is making sure the girls have the outfits on right as they're about to start dress rehearsal for the fashion show.
"Where are Twilight and Sunset? They're missing our dress rehearsal." Rarity asked, but no one knows where they are.
"And I made new outfits for Lucoa and Tohru too. I suppose we can get started without them. Whenever you're ready!" Rarity called out to Vinyl as she starts playing the techno pop music and the girls do the walk over the dock.
Everyone looks good so far, Rarity notice how Applejack is smiling looking at her new outfit while adjusting her new belt with apple buckles on.
"Hmm. Told you you'd like it." Rarity grinned playfully patting her elbow on Applejack's arm.
"It's alright... I guess. I do get to keep it after camp though, right?" Applejack asked, admitting she likes the outfit.
Rarity nod and pushes Applejack to follow the rest of the girls to finish the dress rehearsal for the fashion show.
But unknown to everyone, Gloriosa and Subterra are right above them with branches and vines growing along ready to make their move.
Snipes and Snails are using the water filter to make a few water balloons for some fun, then Snips notice something in the air looking seeing Subterra and Gloriosa.
"Hey, does that look like Gloriosa riding a dragon?" Snipes asked as Snails looks up as well.
"I think so, and she looks… taller." Snails shrugged as the two best friends don't understand the danger that's about to come to camp.
"My great-grandparents made a promise to share this forest with everyone when they made camp, and I'm going to keep even if it means turning the whole world into a forest." Gloriosa declared.
"And what about the campers?" Subterra asked.
"They will see how important Everfree and staying here for the rest of their life and embrace nature." Gloriosa answered.
"Very well, all shall become one with nature and destroy those who would dare to harm it." Subterra said before flying down to camp as everyone is about to feel the wrath of Mother Nature.
