CHAPTER 5: NIGHTMARE STAR'S ARRIVAL TO DRAGONLAND AND POWER HUNTING

Nightmare Star saw Luster and her friends flying their way to Dragonland, and she flew along by going through the portal summoned by her magic to Dragonland in attempt to spy on dragons at a time told by her during her arrival in Equestria and take their powers away. She motioned her minions to stay put and alert in case they help her out from letting either one or four the total dragons escape so that their powers would be taken. Once they agreed, they were in search of finding them by splitting up.

As time progressed, Nightmare Star was getting power-hungry during the time until she had spotted Cassie looking for someone to help since Luster tells the dragons and her friends to split up in seeking for help to save Equestria. Nightmare Star smiled evilly, and flew behind Cassie, by catching her attention.

"Well, well, Cassie."

Cassie turned and gasped as thunder rumbled in the sky.

"Nightmare Star, you again?! Wh~ what are you doing?!"

"Oh, just here to spend the moment," Nightmare Star chuckled evilly as she stepped close,

"I overheard everything. Was it about the fact I told you about that dragons don't make friends with ponies or something else, don't you know?"

"No! Get away from me!" Cassie cried, and used her medallion, blasting out her dragon powers, which were suddenly caught held by the evil alicorn princess's horn.

"What, that's not possible!" she said in disbelief,

"How did you-"

"Time to drain your powers, Cassie!" Nightmare Star laughed, and rose as Cassie's powers were spreading out of Cassie's body.

"Ord, Quetzal, Zak, Wheezie, SOMEBODY HELP ME!" Cassie hurriedly screamed at the top of her lungs as she lost balance,

"NOOOOO!"

The pink dragon slowly fell to the ground, breathing unsteadily.

"One dragon down, two to go," Nightmare Star says as she flies away from Cassie to find Ord, and even Zak and Wheezie.


From inside, Quetzal, Luster, Emmy, Max, and Enrique heard Cassie's scream.

"What's that sound?" Luster asks in shock.

"What happened, niños?" Quetzal asks as well."It's Cassie!" Emmy cried.

"El dragones in danger?" Enrique asks.

Max realized the evil laugh from outside, and gasped,

"It's Princess Nightmare Star!"

Quetzal and Luster reacted in shock.

"Come on, kids! The dragons may have a commotion out. They may have battled Princess Nightmare Star," Luster told the human kids, who nodded and followed her.

Quetzal tells them,

"Be careful. I'm sending in your friends to come for help, Luster."

"Thanks, Quetzal," Luster replies.

Then, she and the human kids took off to find the dragons.


The evil alicorn walked up to Ord, who realized her, with glaring eyes dilated at her.

"You're here, Princess Nightmare Star," says Ord,

"And why are you here in Dragonland?!"

"It doesn't matter why I'm here. What does matter is that I've already eliminated Cassie, you know," Nightmare Star replies with an evil chuckle.

"Cassie…" Ord gasped,

"What have you done?!"

"I took her powers, and they are drained!"

Ord growled, getting his medallion ready.

"Oh, I'm so gonna put and end to your reign, you don't belong here in Dragonland, OR in Equestria, and you never will!" he says, and blasted his power at the evil alicorn princess, who caught a hold of it.

"Impossible!" Ord yells in disbelief.

"Give me ALL your powers, Ord!" Nightmare Star growls evilly.

"Quetzal, Zak, Wheezie! HELP!" shouted Ord in panic.

Nightmare Star's magic drained Ord's powers, causing her to be powerful and him to scream out,

"NOOO!"

"Two dragons down, one to go!" Nightmare Star cackled.

Zak and Wheezie, in a panic state, rush over to Ord, who weakly looked up.

"Zak, Wheezie, it's Nightmare Star. She's here for us. You have to stop her," he said.

Zak and Wheezie nodded in unison, and faced Nightmare Star.

"Princess Nightmare Star!" they say in unison.

"We finally meet at last, Zak and Wheezie," the evil alicorn princess says.

"What do you think you're doing here in Dragonland?!" snapped Zak,

"We're all just seeking for help until we've gotten more information on saving Luster's kingdom until tonight since the first time we saw you."

"Yeah! You don't belong here, and even anywhere else like Equestria, too!" Wheezie chimed in.

"Oh, you're right. I don't belong here, but I came for a hunt for powers, because I have gotten your friends down," Nightmare Star chuckled evilly,

"And you'll realize how stronger I've become."

The conjoined dragons gasped in fear.

"No, this can't be!" cried Wheezie.

"Sis, whatever she's trying to do, we must get to Quetzal, QUICK!" Zak protests.

Wheezie nods with her brother and they took off flying to get to Quetzal.

"MINIONS! Get them, NOW!" Nightmare Star shouted at her minions, who nodded from nowhere and appeared at a fast motion, grabbing a hold of Zak and Wheezie's arms.

"Oh, no! We're held CAPTIVE!" screamed Wheezie.

"NO, PLEASE LET US GO, NIGHTMARE STAR!" panicked Zak at Nightmare Star, who replies,

"This is the end for you two and the time for your heads to separate, conjoined dragons!"

Then, she used her magic to drain Zak and Wheezie's powers from their medallions.

"NOOOOO!" Zak and Wheezie screamed out as they felt weakness and collapsed, with their two heads separated back into one body each.

"Yes, I finally consumed ALL of the dragons' powers!" Nightmare Star laughed wickedly as she held the pink crystals in her hooves,

"Oh wait, there's only one pony who is such a dragon-lover to find. And that is... LUSTER DAWN!"


"Where could they be, Luster?" Emmy asks.

"That's a lot of running," Max added.

"Sí, but el dragones must be here," Enrique says.

"We're almost there, but we gotta hurry. The dragons should've gotten rid of Nightmare Star and defeated her by now," replies Luster.

But when they stopped, they saw the dragons in weak conditions.

"Oh, no!" Luster shouted.

"Ord!" Max cries.

"Cassie!" Emmy panicked.

"Zak! Wheezie!" Enrique panicked as well, noticing Zak and Wheezie with their heads back on their own bodies.

Luster and the human kids went over to the dragons, who were relieved.

"Luster, you kids. Thank goodness you're here," Cassie says sadly.

"What happened?" Luster asks,

"Did all of you get rid of Nightmare Star?"

"No, we didn't," Ord says sadly.

"She's too strong for us," Zak replies.

"Nightmare Star has drained all of our medallions' powers," Wheezie added.

The human kids gasped tearfully.

"NO!" Luster cried and sobbed quietly,

"How could she do this?!"

The dragons comforted Luster, so did the human kids.

"There, there. It's okay, Luster," Zak soothes,

"We shouldn't give up hope yet, though."

"There's no need to cry," Cassie agrees.

"You still get the chance to defeat her," Ord added,

"And its your powers, and rainbow power, told by Princess Twilight for a few days ago when we first got to your kingdom."

Luster wiped her tears and says with a grin,

"Yes, you're right!"

"There, you feeling better?" says Wheezie.

"I do," Luster says with bravery,

"Don't worry, I'll get your powers back as soon as possible. And this will be my chance to defeat Nightmare Star for you."

The dragons and human kids smile at that comment and nodded to Luster, who nodded back and set off to find Nightmare Star and get the dragons' powers back. They all hoped at the same time she will win to her.
