Chapter 20
Flareon's On Fire

Draco, also knows as the triple-headed devil king, is a gigantic shadow dragon with three heads that was created by Alexei that stands tall at 50 ft. He is also the most powerful dragon Alexei has ever created. In terms of rank, Draco is the highest ranking general in Alexei's army. Draco's most unique attribute is his three heads, which all have completely different personalities. The middle head is the leader of the three and the serious one, the right head is the sarcastic one, and the left head is the crazy one. However, Draco is wingless and can't fly, but that has never stopped him before as he has caused many problems for the Elemental Warriors in the past. Draco has only cared about one thing and that is total destruction of anything that stands in his way. While Maximus and Grim are powerful in their own way, neither of them weren't even close in comparison to Draco's power. This was going to be Flareon's toughest challenge yet. During another morning of the usual silence and death hanging in the air in Death Valley, Alexei smiled as he got out of his chair.

"Discord, it's time to revive...him," Alexei said as he walked towards Discord.

"It's about time Lord Alexei," Discord replied, "After all...there are only a couple of months left before you regain all of your power." Soon after, they left the cavern and walked for two minutes until they reached a large clearing.

"Ah perfect...this should be a big enough area," Alexei said as he began to charge up power in his right claw, "Now...come back to me Draco!" He then shot the dark energy into the ground as it quickly covered the entire area. After it dispersed, a very large dragon, who was at least 50 ft. tall, was standing before them. Suddenly, Draco spotted Alexei below him and bowed, which caused an earthquake as a result. The middle head began to speak first.

"My Lord...it's a pleasure to see you're still malevolent and vicious as ever," he said, "Would you mind us asking what happened? We remember tramping all over Fort Venture when everyone went black."

"That is because when I was sealed by the Elemental Warriors, my entire army, including you, disappeared along with me," Alexei replied, "It has now been 10,000 years since then, but do not fret Draco, Equestria will soon be mine."

"Hey! What happened to dumb and dumber?" Draco's right head asked as he laughed under his breath.

"Unfortunately, Grim and Maximus were both killed by Flareon, the chosen one that has the same power as Nova," Alexei replied as he showed no remorse for his fallen generals, "I take it you want a piece of him?"

"Yeah! Bring it on! We'll totally rip that little runt into bite sized pieces! I want to enjoy eating him!" Draco's left head exclaimed as his mouth began to salivate.

"You're in luck Draco because all you have to do is travel to a town called Ponyville and you will find Flareon there. Once you kill him, I herby give you permission to eat all the ponies in Ponyville you want...my treat," Alexei replied as he smiled mischievously. Right away, all three of Draco's heads eyes glowed in anticipation of an all-you-can-eat pony buffet.

"It's as good as done my lord," the middle head said as Draco signaled to his other heads, "Come on you two. Let's go kill this chosen one already!" As Draco stomped away towards Ponyville, Alexei walked back in the cavern, was soon followed by Discord. Alexei then sat down on his stone throne and relaxed.

"So...do you think Flareon can beat Draco?" Discord asked.

"He'd better or I'm really going to be bored when I regain my full power," Alexei replied as he and Discord began to laugh manically as their laughter could be heard from outside the cavern. Later on, at a restaurant in Ponyville, two ponies were seen talking to each other from across the table as they had just finished their lunch. Suddenly, they noticed their glasses filled with water began to vibrate. As the vibrations got stronger, the glasses then jumped on the table and fell over. When they turned around, they saw Draco walking towards them, destroying every house and building in his path. They quickly screamed as ran away as the residents of Ponyville began to flee in terror. Soon after, Flareon appeared, followed by Twilight and his friends.

"Twilight! Everyone! Go help the residents escape! I'll handle giganto over there!" Flareon yelled as Twilight and the others left to help everyone get to safety. He then turned to face Draco. "Alright you ugly walking mountain...no one, I repeat no one, destroys this town on my watch!" Flareon yelled as he flew to confront Draco. As Flareon stopped in front of him, all three heads began to laugh.

"Well, well, well...look what we have here guys? It's the chosen one!" the middle head exclaimed.

"The chosen one? More like the tiny one! Am I right or what? Um...guys?" the right head said as he was wondering why no one was laughing at his joke.

"Dude...that was terrible. Seriously...terrible," the middle head replied as he shook his head in disappointment.

"Would you idiots stop joking around already?!" the left head yelled angrily, "Let's just kill this runt! I'm hungry!" Soon after, all three heads nodded in agreement as they looked directly at Flareon viciously and roared loudly. The battle between Flareon and Draco had now begun as only one of them was going to come out of this alive and Flareon was going to make sure it was him. As Flareon flew around Draco, he continuously shot both small rapid and big strong fireballs at Draco while dodging his fireballs and constant attempts to eat him. A few minutes later, after Flareon dodge another of Draco's fireballs, he flew back and created a Fire Tornado and quickly hit it towards Draco as it quickly engulfed him in a blazing inferno. Unfortunately, Draco simply blew away the fire from around him as he was completely unfazed by the Fire Tornado. In response, Draco's middle head began to charge up power in his mouth.

"Let's see how you like this attack kid! Giga Explosion Sphere!" the middle head yelled as he shot a huge black ball at Flareon. Luckily, he managed to dodge it just in time as it flew past him into the sky. A second later, it exploded, and a huge black sphere of darkness was seen in the sky as a shockwave emitted from it. Even though it was far away, Flareon was pushed back by the shockwave's powerful force. This was definitely an attack Flareon had to make sure he avoided. It was at that moment Flareon decided it was time to end this fight as he flew high into the sky. After Flareon turned around, he summoned a Fire Shuriken, and threw it at Draco. Right away, he was completely engulfed in a blazing dome of fire as the Fire Shuriken's amazing power was put on display once again. However, after the fire dispersed, Draco was seen without a single scratch on his body. The Fire Shuriken failed to make so much as a dent in Draco's armor. All three of Draco's heads began to laugh.

"Was that the best you could do Flareon? I've seen small candles burn hotter than your weak attacks!" the right head said as he chuckled. Suddenly, the middle head once again charged up power in his mouth and shot another Giga Explosion Sphere directly at Flareon. This time however, he wasn't able to dodge it. After the dark sphere exploded, Flareon was seen plummeting in the air and crashed through the roof of a nearby building. Draco quickly ran over where Flareon had landed and began trampling all over the building.

"Once we're done stomping you into a pulp, you're going right into our stomach chosen one!" the left head exclaimed. Soon after, Draco began to search through the rubble, but amazingly, they didn't find any trace of Flareon's body.

"Keep searching you fools!" the middle head yelled angrily, "He's got to be here somewhere!" Meanwhile, Flareon was flying high in the air behind Draco. Apparently, after Flareon had fallen into the building, he managed to escape it without Draco noticing.

"None of my fire attacks affected Draco, not even my Fire Tornado or Fire Shuriken," Flareon muttered, "I've got to get stronger! I've got to protect Ponyville! I can't let everyone down!" He then curled himself into a ball as fire slowly emitted from his body and formed a ball of fire. A few seconds later, Draco's middle head looked up in the sky at the ball of fire.

"What the heck is that?" the middle head asked.

"How am I supposed to know? You're the smart one!" the left head yelled. As all three of Draco's heads began to argue, the ball of fire suddenly exploded. After the fire dissipated, a burning object was seen flying in the sky. It was Flareon. Not only was he taller with a larger horn and wings, but his body was completely made of fire. As Flareon opened his eyes, he quickly spotted a dumbfounded Draco standing before him. A smile then appeared on Flareon's face. Soon after, he flew towards Draco as this battle was far from over. As Draco shot multiple fireballs towards Flareon, he managed to dodge them all with ease. Flareon then flew low to the ground as he reared back his right hoof and punched Draco hard in the stomach. The force of Flareon's punch was so powerful it sent the giant dragon tumbling across the ground helplessly as he soon crashed into a building. Unfortunately, Draco didn't have time to recover as Flareon quickly created a Fire Tornado. However, in his new form, the Fire Tornado was upgraded to a more powerful form called the Fire Hurricane, which is wider and delivers more damage. Flareon then kicked the Fire Hurricane towards Draco who was immediately engulfed in a blazing inferno. All three heads screamed in pain as the fire from hurricane burned his body. After the fire dissipated, Draco slowly stood back up as all three heads were seething with fury.

"You think you're such hot stuff don't you? Just because you transformed and got stronger doesn't mean we still won't kill you! It's time we showed you what true power really is! Our ultimate attack!" Draco's middle head exclaimed. Right away, all three heads began to gather power in their mouths. "Triple Giga Explosion Sphere!" all three heads yelled as they fired a total of three black balls of dark energy directly at Flareon. However, he didn't even try to evade them as Flareon was soon consumed by all three, and a second later, they exploded in the sky as a shockwave was quickly followed afterwards. All three of Draco heads began to laugh as they basked in the glory of their newfound victory. Sadly for them, their victory was immediately cut short when they noticed Flareon was still seen flying above. He was completely unfazed by their attack as there was not a scratch on his flame body. They couldn't believe their eyes. At that moment, Flareon began to create another Fire Shuriken. However, in his new form, the Fire Shuriken was upgraded to a more powerful form called the Ultimate Fire Shuriken, which can be created in less time, be thrown faster, the blast area becomes larger, and delivers more damage.

"Ultimate Fire Shuriken!" Fire yelled as he threw it at a baffled Draco. The shuriken then traveled low to the ground and three seconds later, hit Draco directly in his stomach. The force of the shuriken was so powerful it began to push Draco back. Soon after, it lifted the gigantic dragon high into the air, past the clouds. A helpless Draco could only manage to look down below at Flareon, who was smiling at him.

"Curse you Flareon! Curse you!" the middle head explained as he was soon engulfed in a huge swirling sphere of blazing fire. A shockwave was soon followed afterwards that managed to shatter every glass window in Ponyville. The gust of wind from the shockwave was so strong it maxed out Twilight's wind gauge that was positioned on the side of their house. The sphere of fire slowly disappeared and afterwards, Draco was nowhere to be seen. Flareon had successfully managed to defeat him. Soon after, Flareon flew back down to the ground, and was quickly surrounded by Twilight and his friends.

"Oh my god Flareon! That...was...so...awesome!" Rainbow Dash exclaimed, "You totally kicked that dragon's behind with that super cool Fire Shuriken! Also...what the heck happened to your body? It's on fire...literally!" As everyone began to admire Flareon's new form, Pinkie Pie reached out towards him with her right hoof.

"No Pinkie Pie! Don't touch him!" Twilight yelled. Amazingly, she was able to safely touch his flame body without getting burned.

"Oh...it's so warm and soft!" Pinkie Pie. The fire on his body simply danced around her hoof as she continued to rub him. Soon after, everyone began to touch his flame body.

"I've got to hand it Flareon," Applejack said, "This is one mighty impressive ability you have!" However, Flareon was beginning to get annoyed by them constantly touching him.

"I think that's enough...I said that's enough! Ok...it's going away now!" Flareon said as the fire on his body dispersed as he returned back normal. In response, everyone quickly let out a sigh of disappointment as they wanted to touch his flame body more.

"So Flareon...what are you going to call your new ability?" Twilight asked.

"Hmm...how about Flame God Mode?" Flareon replied, "It's sort of similar to this girl's power in this anime I watched once." Right away, everyone agreed in response of Flareon's name for his new ability. A few minutes later, everyone went their separate ways as Mayor Mare had the construction ponies rebuild the destroyed houses and buildings. Even though Flareon had defeated Alexei's most powerful shadow dragon, it wasn't over yet as the final battle against Alexei was drawing near.
