//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 // Story: Miraculous Dragonfly and Draconequus // by Macmeg13 //------------------------------// Both Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash lifted the box with their hooves before opening it. In Twilight's, there was a set of purple earrings with five green poke dots. In Rainbow's, there was a chain necklace with a colorful tornado, there was five different part of the tornado, representing the spinning motion. Both jewels started to glow and a large ball of light came out, blinding both ponies. Once the light dimmed down, Twilight gasped to see a small floating dragon. Twilight immediately screamed in fright as she backed away. She stood on her hind legs and used her front hooves like a shield, looking like she knows karate when really she knows nothing about any sort a self defense what so ever. "Help!!!" she screamed as the dragon kwami flew closer to her. "It's a..." she paused, not knowing what it is. "Giant bug! Uh... A mouse! A bug mouse!!!" she said, backing away as it flew closer. "Everything's okay!" said the happy dragon to the freaked out unicorn. "No need to be scared." Twilight blinked once before trowing everything she had at him, all while screaming. The dragon dodged them effortlessly. "Hey stop!" ------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow shielded herself from the light. When she opened her eyes, she saw... she didn't know what she was looking at. The small kwami yawned, as if wakened up from a nap. Rainbow got a closer look at it before smiling widely. "No way! You're like the genie in the lamp!" So awesome! she thought. The little draconequus smirked at the blue pegasus. "I met him once, so he grants wishes big deal." he said with a wave of a lion paw. "I'm WAY more impressive. Discord, nice to meet you." he flew away from the stunned mare to the Foosball table. "Ooh, shiny!" he said, taking a bite of one of the players. "No!" Rainbow said, snapping out of it. "Don't touch that!" She leaped to grab him but he flew out of her grasp. "Hey! Come back here." The draconequus didn't listen however, too busy flying around the large, expensive room. "Ooh! Shiny!" he repeated, flying to a video game. "Can you eat this?" he asked before taking a bite of the controller. He spat out a piece in his mouth. "Ew no you can't, OOH!" he flew away, another shiny thing catching his eye. Rainbow flew to him but once again missed. "Ooh! What about this?" he asked. Rainbow groaned, the thing had the attention span of a 2 year old! ------------------------------------------------------- Twilight had a really bad day, sure. Sometimes, her mind would get the best of her when she gets really stressed, she would admit. But even she wouldn't have came up with something as crazy as a floating dragon in her bedroom, who was really good at dodging things no less. "Listen Twilight!" he said, still trying to calm the unicorn down. "I know everything may seem a bit strange but..." Twilight, however, didn't let him finish as she pounced on him with a jar in her magic grip. She slammed it on him, trapping him on the inside. The little dragon sighed, rolling his eyes. "Okay, if that will make you feel safer." "What are you?" Twilight asked, still lying on the floor. "And how do you know my name?" The little kwami smiled. "I'm a kwami, and my name is Spike!" he said proudly. "Now, just let me explain..." ------------------------------------------------------- Back at Rainbows, it was total chaos. Discord was flying around crazy, trying to eat everything he can put his claw/paw on. Rainbow was surprised her father didn't come up to see what was going on. Scratch that, she would've been surprised if he did. While Discord was munching into her TV remote, Rainbow flew up behind him before pouncing on him, making him drop the remote. "I still don't know what you're doing here." she said. Discord rolled his eyes, looking at her with a bored expression. "Look, I'm a kwami. I grant powers. Your's the power of destruction, got it?" Rainbow paused, trying to process everything, or anything for that matter, but shaking her head. Discord smirked, amused. "Good, now do you have anything to eat?" he turned his head a full 360 degree, looking around her room. "I'm starving!" he gave her a pouty face for good measures. Rainbow paused again for a moment, slightly creeped out by the spinning head, before smirking herself. "Father's pranking me right?" she paused again when Discord gave her a deadpan look. "Wait no he couldn't, he has no sense of humor." Discord flew out of her hoof, making her jump slightly. "Your father must never know that I exist! Or any pony for that matter." he said, now looking serious. Rainbow couldn't believe how many mood swings he gave her in the few minutes they met. ------------------------------------------------------- Before Spike could began to speak, Twilight went to open the hatch under her. "Mom, Dad!" she yelled out. "Nonononononono! SHH!!" Spike flew through the glass jar and up to Twilight, scarring her once again. "I'm your friend Twilight! You must trust me! You're the only one who can stop Stone Heart!" Twilight was still staring at him, still trying to get over the fact that the small dragon was in front of her instead of the jar. ------------------------------------------------------- "Do you think they'll be up to it master?" Philomena asked Zecora, watching her put away all the other Miraculous. "I only got it wrong once, I will never happen again! At least... I hope not." she gently closed the box with a click. Then placing it in the bigger box, then hiding it back into her closet of potions. ------------------------------------------------------- "This has to be some mistake!" Twilight said, pacing in her room. "The only super power I could have is super awkwardness." She then gasped, in idea coming to her head. "I know! Rarity would know! She's my friend!" she said proudly before deflating a little. "Well I think she would, she loves super heroes! She would totally be up to the job! You should see her!" "Twilight!" Spike said, flying close to her face. Twilight winced, backing up slightly. "You're the chosen one!" ------------------------------------------------------- "But I'm stuck here!" Rainbow exclaimed, having heard the same thing Twilight has. "I'm not even allowed to go to school!" she stomped her hoof on the ground angerly. She was never a school to began with, but she'd prefer it over total lock down. "What's good a super hero who's imprisoned in her own house?" "No good!" Discord said, juggling some of Rainbows things. "That's why it's all going to change soon." he dropped all the items before flying circles around the pegasus head, holding the necklace in his claw. "If you're willing that is..." he waved it in front of her shocked face, smirking while doing so. She then frowned with determination, taking the necklace. ------------------------------------------------------- "Okay," Twilight said nervously, putting at the ear rings with her magic. "all I have to do is break the object where the whatchamacallit is hiding?" she asked, putting on the ear rings. "It's called an akuma." Spike corrected. "Which you must in capture!" Twilight nodded with determination. "Got it. Capture it." then she looked unsure again. "And what's that flame thing again?" Spike gave her an encouraging smile. "It's called Flame Assistant!" he said excitedly. "It's your secret super power!" Twilight sighed. "This is all going too fast Spike! I-I..." she groaned. "I wont be able to pull this off!" Spike shook his head. "Just trust yourself Twilight! Just say 'Claws on!'" Twilight gave him one last nervous look before sighing again. "Claws On?" The ear ring started to glow, scaring her as she felt a rush of power. Spike smiled before being absorbed into the ear rings. "What is happening?" Twilight asked before gasping as she began to transform. Her whole body felt like in was covered with scaly fabric as it covered her body. She became a lighter shade of purple with a green stomach. The costume covered every inch of her body, hiding her cutie mark completely. Dark purple claws appeared on her front hooves and green bumps that matched her stomach on her back. Her mane stayed the same while her tail turned into the shade of purple as well. She felt something grow on her back and as she turned her head, she was surprised to see two leathery wings on her back. She felt her teeth grow sharper inside her mouth and lastly, a purple mask appeared over her eyes, changing them so they became slits, almost like cat eyes. ------------------------------------------------------------ Rainbow Dash placed the necklace around her neck and posed in the mirror. She liked it, it looked really awesome! (Even more awesome now that's it's on her.) She's happy her father couldn't read her thoughts because he would have chat used her for being too "egotistical". Ever since her mother died, her father became much colder, and that's saying something compared to how he was before, making her call him father. All she ever wanted was to make him proud, she even took the modeling gig just to please him. At first it was fun, showing off and stuff, but after a month or two she was really starting to regret taking it to began with. All she wants to do is fly, but with modeling and her father's extreme rules, all she can do is smile and nod. On the out side she's a polite and proper, but on the inside is a mare dying for some speed, freedom and mischief. And this necklace around her neck is her ticket back to her regular self! After posing a little longer, she looked back at Discord who popped his head out of her trash can, spitting out a ball of paper. "Chaos out, that's how you transform." he said, knowing what she was about to ask. 'Chaos out' huh? Rainbow thought, then smirked. Well I can use a little chaos right now. She puffed out her chest, wings flared. "Got it! Discord, Chaos out!" Discords eyes widened, not expecting to get transformed yet. "Wait! Wait!" he said, holding onto the garbage can as he began to get sucked in. "I'm not done exploiting...!" Energy filled Rainbow Dash as she began to transform. She too wore a suit all over her body, covering her cutie mark. Her torso was brown while her neck became gray. While one wing stayed the same, her other wing became leathery, almost like a dragon or a bat. All four of her hooves changed as well; her back right turned into a goat hoof while the left one became a lizard claw, and her front right hoof became an eagle claw while her left became a lion paw. Her mane stayed the same while but her tail became red with a bit of white at the bottom. Two horns grew at the top of her head, one gazelle and one deer. A gray mask to match her neck appeared on her face changing her eyes so that they became yellow and one of her pink irises became smaller while the other became larger, her pupils becoming white. Once transformation complete, she looked at herself in the mirror. "Too awesome!!!" she practically squealed, flapping her new wings excitedly. Lets take this for a test spin shall we? ------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight gaped at the mirror in front of her. Not believing any of this. She looked like a dragon! She spun around, looking for a button, a zipper, a switch, anything! She groaned, looking away. "How am I supposed to take this off?" She looked around the room for the floating dragon. "Spike? If you can hear me right now, I'd like my normal close back!" she looked around, hearing nothing but silence. "Look, I'm not going anywhere..." she was interrupted when she heard something. The computer, she forgot to close it. The news was still playing about Stone Heart, it showed him walking in the streets of Canterlot. "After breaking the train station, Stone Heart is heading to the observatory! This Monster seems to be unstoppable..." The news archer continued speaking but Twilight zoned out once she saw who was following Stone Heart from behind. She squinted before gasping, recognizing the mare. "Rarity?" Her mothers voiced made her jump. "Twilight!" she heard from the below. "Did you get home okay?" Freaking out, knowing she didn't have time left before her mother got up stairs, she quickly ran to the roof. "Oh yeah mom, just super!" she called back, making it to the hatch right as Cadance opened hers. "Twilight? You in here?" Twilight quickly got out of her room and onto the roof where she liked to relax and read on sunny days. She really hoped nun of the neighbors would see her in the outfit. She closed the door behind her before sighing. "Okay, I have special powers..." she said to herself, examining the costume once again. "And..." she looked at her belt and just noticed a heart shaped yo-yo. "this super awesome yo-yo thingy?" she played with it a bit before putting it back on the belt, it might come in use later. She looked nervously at her new wings, not knowing what to do. She's seen Cadance use hers all the time with no difficulty, so it shouldn't be that hard to fly... right? She took a deep breath before opening them. Unfortunately, fate decided to play a cruel joke as a large breeze started to blow past her, shooting her high in the sky. Naturally, she screamed as she flew away. ------------------------------------------------------------ On top of the rooftops, Rainbow was having fun with her new found freedom as she walked carelessly around on her pole she found on her belt. It looked like a giant candy cane. "I'm getting the hang of this." she said smugly to herself as she walked in between houses on the pole. However, she raised her head in confusion as she heard screaming heading closer and closer. As she looked up, her eyes widened as she saw a dragon/pony fall to the sky right toward her. No time to react, it crashed right into her and they both fell from the pole to the streets below. Luckily, Twilight's yo-yo caught on the pole, breaking both of their falls. Unfortunately, they both got tied up in her strings, causing both of them to swing back and forth. Rainbow groaned, ready to give this clumsy flier a piece of her mind before pausing when she got a good look of her. Well isn't she cute? she thought. "Well hey there," she said, smirking a devilish smirk. "Nice of you to drop by." she snickered at her own pun. Twilight however would've rolled her eyes and groaned if she wasn't so flustered at the moment. "Sorry!" she said as she started to untie themselves. "I didn't do this on purpose." she gave Rainbow a nervous smile as they both landed on the ground. Rainbow dusted herself off before smirking excitedly at Twilight. "I bet you're the partner my kwami told me about! I'm... mm..." she paused. Here she is in front of another of another pony and she couldn't even come up with a super hero name! Come on! Think Dash! Then an idea came to her. "Draconequus." she nodded, as if approving the idea herself. "Yeah! Draconequus." So awesome! She turned to Twilight. "And you?" Twilight was still trying to get her yo-yo free from Draconequus pole when she asked. Twilight gave her a nervous grin, herself trying to think of a name. "I um..." she paused as she got her yo-yo free. She opened her hooves to catch it but instead it fell on top of Draconequus head. She groaned as she rubbed at her soar spot, Twilight giving her a sheepish look. "madly clumsy, very clumsy sorry!" she finished. Draconequus gave her a smirk as she picked up her candy cane stripped pole. "No sweat clumsy girl, I'm learning the ropes too!" Both of them jumped when a large crash was heard, causing the ground to shake. They both looked up to see a large building collapsing! Twilight paused, not knowing what to do. Rainbow, springing into action, placed her pole in her belt and flew up to the rooftops. "H-hey wait!" Twilight called out. "Where are you going?!" Rainbow turned to Twilight with a big cocky grin and a wave of her hoof. "To save Canterlot right?" she said before flying off. Twilight groaned, looking down at her yo-yo in her hoof. "Trust yourself, trust yourself..." she muttered to herself, putting it back in her belt. With a deep breath she opened her wings once more and took off, trying to remember all the books she read on flying. It didn't help much... ------------------------------------------------------------ Back at the school, the soccer team just finished tryouts and was packing up for the day. Dumb Bell was in the middle of packing his bag when the whole stadium shook. Some ponies screamed and ran, others were frozen with fear, Dumb Bell one of them. On top, Stone heart was growling, looking across the field before locking eyes with Dumb Bell. "DUMB!!!" he growled, causing every frozen pony to run away, all for except Dumb Bell. This caused Stone to smile widely. "SO, WHO'S THE WUSS NOW!!!!" he opened his wings and glided down in front of him. Getting his senses back, the brown pegasus ran away screaming, Stone running right behind him. Unfortunately he tripped while running. Panicking as the stoned pegasus approached, all he could do was hide under his hooves praying for help. Thankfully, help arrived. A candy cane stripped pole landed right in between the two, causing Stone Heart to stop running. He growled as a pony/draconequus landed in front of him with a cocky smirk. Dumb Bell didn't bother to ask as he got up and ran for his life. "Hey, it isn't very nice to pick on some pony that's smaller then you!" she said, placing the pole back in her belt. Stone glared, growling at her. "WELL THEN I GUESS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF!!!" Stone pounced on Draconequus but she quickly dodge. He may be big and strong, but he wasn't the fastest. ------------------------------------------------------------ The whole time, King Umbrum was watching through Stone Heart, enjoying to show. At first, he enjoyed the random burst of destruction but now things were getting interesting! After all this time, he finally found a Miraculous! He laughed maniacally. "Everything is going as planned!" he said to himself, "Dragonfly and Draconequus Miraculous have been activated! Now here they come to save the day! And now my super villain will destroy them!" He laughed once again! Soon everything will have absolute power! ------------------------------------------------------------ Draconequus jumped at another blow from Stone Heart, loving every second of the action. Never had she felt so free in her life! She dodge him again before flying up and slamming her pole on his head. He growled, getting much more frustrated at the colorful freak. He glowed once again, surprising Draconequus as he grew twice as big. He turned around to her and stomped his hoof, causing the ground to shake. Draconequus stood on her hind legs, pole in hooves, and groaned with frustration. "Where are you partner?!" she shouted before dodging once again. ------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight was freaking out. She was no stranger to freaking out, she freaked out before. But not like this, never like this! She was at the top a the stadium, her new wings twitching nervously as she watched the battle below. She bit her lip, not knowing what to do. What can she do? She groaned, burying her face in her new claws. "Oh! I can't! I'm not going to be able to do it!" ------------------------------------------------------------ Rarity couldn't believe it! She just couldn't believe! A Real. Live. Superheroes!!!! I was too good to be true! When she was just a filly, she always dreamed to meet a super hero! And thank to Stone Heart, she now has a front row seat in the amazing action! Sure it was risky, she had a few close calls when following him. Alright, an LOT of close calls. But right now, with her phone in her magic, it was SO worth it! She walked closer, trying to got at the newest hero, the Draconequus. An interesting idea, she must admit. Draconequus dodged another blow from Stone Heart effortlessly, causing the stoned beast to growl in anger. Furiously, he grabbed the soccer net and threw it at her. Obviously, the draconequus hero dodged it but unfortunately, it headed straight towards the white unicorn. Draconequus gasped, not noticing her before. Rarity couldn't move. She was frozen in fright, her mind blank. Thinking fast, Draconequus threw her pole, stopping the net before it hit Rarity. Draconequus sighed in relief, however it was short lived because, since she was unarmed and distracted, didn't noticed when Stone Heart grabbed her from behind. Rarity gasped, not knowing what to do. She looked up to see another super hero, a alicorn bug/dragon to be exact. She would've been excited if the hero wasn't just standing there. "What are you waiting for super purple bug?" she called out, getting the stunned heroes attention. "The world is watching you!" ------------------------------------------------------------ She couldn't breath. Twilight couldn't breath. Her breath came in short gasps as she tried to get control of the situation. It would help if her heart wasn't beating so hard that it was deafening! She looked at her new friend Rarity, who was looking at her with pleading eyes. She looked at Draconequus, who was struggling in Stone Heart iron grip. I can't do this! I can't do this! I can't STOP!!! Twilight shook her head, frowning in determination. Rarity was right! What is she waiting for? They needed her help! It's a time for action! She can't back out now! I CAN do this! She gripped on her red heart yo-yo in her magic and opened her wings. Without a hint of hesitation, she jumped off the top and flew down to Stone heart. She threw her yo-yo, wrapping it around his legs. He paused and looked down, seeing her fly under him and glided in front of him, braking in a dramatique pose. She smirked. "Animal cruelty? How shameful!" she pulled the string, causing Stone to lose his balance and let go of Draconequus. The large pegasus fell on his back as Draconequus rolled into the other soccer net. Rarity looked in awe at the other hero. "Yes!" she cheered. Twilight ran to her new partner, who was quickly getting up in a haze. "Sorry it took so long Draconequus." Draconequus brushed some dust off her costume. She looked at the alicorn with an easy going smile. Even though she almost got killed, this was the most fun she had in years! "It's no problem wonder dragon. Now lets kick his rocky behind!" She flew up, ready for round two, but stopped midair by her tail. She looked behind to see her partner with an unamused look. "Wait, haven't you noticed he gets bigger and stronger with every attack?" she asked, letting go of her tail. Draconequus flew back down, giving Twilight her full attention, which was something really hard to do. "We have to do something different." Draconequus raised her eyebrow. "Different how?" Twilight paused, humming in thought as she rubbed under her chin with her hoof. "I don't know..." "Okay then!" Twilight jumped as she saw her partner turn around. "We'll use our powers!" "CHAOS CLAW!!"she exclaimed, lifting her talon. Her necklace glowed as the five colors glowed brightly. The colors traveled through her body and too her eagle claw, causing it to glow the same colors as the necklace. Once finished, she flapped her wings, so not to touch the ground. She waved it in front of Twilight, showing it off with a smirk. "Apparently I can destroy what ever I want." she said smugly, trying to impress her. Twilight sighed, rolling her eyes slightly. "I don't need a super power to destroy everything." she muttered under her breath. Draconequus turned to the soccer net they were in and touched it, trying to prove herself. Twilight gasped. What is she doing? "Wait stop!" But it was too late. The net slowly started to rot, the whole thing turning black and braking into pieces. Draconequus grinned widely. "Whoa cool!" she turned her attention to Stone Heart, who was struggling to get up. "Alright, it's just you and me, Soon-to-be ruble!" she flew toward him. "No Draconequus wait!" Draconequus flew to the stone giant, claw out stretched. She landed dramatically, claw on his chest. She waited. And waited. It wasn't working. Her eyes widened in confusion as she lifted and placed it back on a few times. She looked up at the angry pegasus with a nervous grin. "Uh-oh... Guess I only get one shot with my power." Stone Heart raised his hoof before kicking her, causing the foolish hero to fly through the field and crash in front of Twilight. She groaned, stomping her claw angerly. "Now you have five minutes before you change back!" she said, frowning as the draconequus dusted herself off again. "Didn't your kwami explain anything to you?" Draconequus gave sheepish, just now remembering on that bit of information. "I guess i was a little excited with my new life." she said with a relaxed shrug. Twilight smirked, reaching for her yo-yo with a claw. "Well not to me!" she threw it in the air before shouting: "FLAME ASSISTANT!" The heart ruby yo-yo spun as it coursed with magic. Green flames came out of the yo-yo as an object was created within the fire. Once done, the flames extinguish themself to reveal... a purple and green jump suit? Draconequus snorted in amusement. "Super power." she jokingly. Twilight blinked in shock. "My kwami told me I have to brake the object with the whatchamacallit..." she paused, shaking her head. "akuma, is hiding." Draconequus nodded, examining the rock freak. "Well, he's made entirely out of stone..." she tried, causing Twilight to roll her eyes as she as he approached. She squinted, trying to look for something, anything really, that might give them a clue. Then she noticed his hoof and her eyes widened. "His hoof!" she said, pointing at it. "It's closed! He never opens it!" That's where it must be! "Its like a Yackyackenstan doll! The object isn't on him, it's hidden in his fist!" Twilight smiled, she figured it out! Draconequus smiled with her. "So what's your plan?" Twilight looked around, trying to find something that would help. She was always good when it comes to noticing small details. She looked at his fist, then at Rarity who was still filming, then at the water faucet for the hose, and she followed it all the way to where they were standing. She's got it! She pointed the hose at their hooves. "This!" she said, picking it up with her magic. She then quickly tied it to the head whole of the suit and tied all four of the hooves holes as well. She then wrapped her yo-yo around Draconequus legs, surprising her. "Don't resist! Trust me!" she said before spinning her around. "THIS MARE'S CRAZY!!!" she screamed, feeling nauseous. Twilight let go, causing Draconequus to fly toward Stone Heart. In confusion, he grabbed the pony, not noticing he has now occupied his only free hoof. "Catch me if you can!" Twilight exclaimed flying toward them, suit and hose in magic. She smirked as Stone went up to catch her, letting go of the akumatized object. He grabbed her and Draconequus gave her a panicked, but Twilight wasn't through yet. "Rarity!" she shouted, getting the reporters attention. "The tap!" Rarity looked confused for a moment before looking to the side and seeing it. Quickly, she ran towards it and turned it on. Water filled the hose, traveling through it all the way to the suit,causing it to fill. Stone struggled to keep his grip but as the suit got bigger and bigger, he had no choice but too let go of her. Quickly, Twilight landed and ran toward the evil purple glowing ball. She then raised her claws and stomped on it, breaking it and revealing a vampire Breezy. It flew away and as it did, Stone Heart dissembled and crumbled to the ground. Draconequus groaned as she fell out of his grip. Soon the rocks disappeared into smoke, revealing a disoriented Bulk Biceps. Draconequus stared in awe before smiling widely at Twilight, her heart thumping in her chest. "This mare is awesome!" she said to herself, wide eyed and impressed. "She's crazy awesome!" Twilight looked up in the direction of the Breezy went, seeing its form getting smaller and smaller. She couldn't help but be proud! Not only did she saved her new friend, but she might be getting the hang of the whole super hero thing! She looked down and gasped slightly as the broken purple ball transformed back into a crumpled ball of paper. She giggled, finding all of this surreal. Bulk groaned as he got up, rubbing his head. He blinked in surprise as he saw that he was no longer in front of the principals office, but in the now broken soccer filed. "Whoa... whats going on?" he looked around and saw two ponies, dressed in weird/awesome costumes. "What am I doing here?" he asked, looking at the two. Draconequus couldn't hold in her excitement as she turned to Twilight. "You were incredible miss... uh...." Twilight smiled at her new partner, feeling proud and excited as well. As Draconequus tried to struggle with her name, Twilight was thinking about it too.Well, I can't be a hero with out a name! She'll think about it later. "dragon lady," Draconequus finished, causing Twilight to giggle and rub the back of her head. "you did it!" she shook her head. "We both did it partner!" As if they were both thinking alike, they both smacked their hooves together. "Pound it!" they both said at the same time, it felt right! Unfortunately, Draconequus necklace started to beep. They both looked to see that the last part of the tornado was flashing. Twilight gasped, knowing what that meant. "You should get going, our identities must remain secret." she said. Deep down in Draconequus, she felt the need to stay and get to know her new awesome partner. They just met and already she didn't want to leave her alone! She sighed, feeling confused. Instead, she bowed at the alicorn, giving her a Cheshire grin. "Fair well my lady." she said before flapping her wings, hovering in the air. "Lets do this again soon okay?" With one last salute, she flew up and away from Twilight. She chuckled. "Uh-huh, but not too soon I hope!" she called back, but doubt her new mischievous partner heard her. She turned around and her smile fell as she saw the state Bulk was in, all sad and alone. She sighed, not knowing what to do. She looked down and the ball of paper in her claw and curiously opened it. You haven't even have the guts to tell Fluttershy you love her! Wuss! said the note. She remembers Fluttershy, she's the shy mare in her class. She didn't know Bulk had a thing for her! That is so adorable! She awed as she turned to him. Bulk sighed trying to wrack his brain for a clue onto whats going on. He sighed as he saw Twilight approach him with the open letter. He sighed again, but this time in disappointment. "Dumb Bell wrote that." he mumbled bitterly. "He's always making fun of me..." Twilight crouched down to his level, placing a claw on his shoulder and giving him an encouraging smile. "Well you shouldn't get bent out of shape about that." he looked up to her, his ears perking up. "There's no shame in telling some one you love them Bulk." He smiled at her, before frowning in confusion. "Hey, how do you know my name miss?" Her eyes widened. Way to go you idiot! her head screamed. She paused, trying to think of an answer. Thankfully, Rarity came to the rescue with her phone, still video tapping. "Uncanny! Amazing! Spectacular!" she exclaimed, a large grin on her face. "Are you gonna be protecting Canterlot for now on?" she asked, staring expectantly at Twilight. "How did you get your powers? Did you get bit by a radioactive dragonfly? Oh I've got a ton of questions to ask you!" Twilight stared like an idiot at the camera, not knowing what to say or do. So, instead of answering, she turned around and started to walk away, opening her wings in the process. "Oh wait miss... uh..." Rarity paused, not knowing her name. However, Twilight smiled, already came up with one. She turned her head, looking behind her shoulder to see Rarity and Bulk staring at her, waiting for a response. "Umm, Dragonfly." she said, posing dramatically for effects. "Call me Dragonfly!" she turned around and took off, leaving a purple and green stripe behind. Rarity couldn't hold her excitement. "Dragonfly!" she repeated, trying the name for herself. "Super awesome!" She video tapped Dragonfly as she flew away, feeling new hope for their city. She couldn't wait to put this online! And that she did. ------------------------------------------------------------ "So thanks to this amateur footage, the ponies of Canterlot know the identities of their heroes!" the news ancher said. Twilight was literally bouncing in her seat. She couldn't believe it! She made the news! "I did it Spike!" she practically squealed as the small dragon flew to Twilight. "See! You were up to it!" he said, giving her a small nuzzle. Twilight nuzzled back happily. "Twilight!" her mother called from below, "Dinner time!" She smiled as she got out of her chair and racing down stairs. As she got there, she heard the mayors voice coming from the TV. "I am pleased to announced that we will be organizing a huge celebration in honor of our cities new protectors!" Twilight smiled as she sat down. Maybe this was a good thing after all. ------------------------------------------------------------ Discord flew to the TV, watching the same news channel as well. "Dragonfly and Draconequus!" the mayor exclaimed, causing the people to cheer. Rainbow, who was watching on the couch, blushed as she smiled like an idiot. "Dragonfly." he said, it sounded SO right! "Her name is Dragonfly." Her dreaming was however interrupted as Discord flew in with some carrots in his paw. "EW! What is this?!" he said, clearly disgusted. Rainbow groaned, frowning at the annoying kwami. "Hey, our personal chef made those!" she said, annoyed. Discord threw them on the ground. "If you expect me to get my energy back from a transformation i will need something more..." he paused, trying to come up with the right words. "fluffy." Rainbow rolled her eyes and sighed. "Okay! What do you want?" she asked. Discord smirked mischievously. ------------------------------------------------------------ The akumatized Breezy flew all over Canterlot, following the breeze as it went higher and higher. Finally, it landed on top of the highest tower. The seemingly harmless Breezy was more dangerous then any pony has expected, since it was still possessed with dark magic. It began to multiply, getting bigger and bigger in numbers. What Canterlot didn't know is that Stone Heart was just a small part in King Umbrums master plan for ultimate power... ------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight was humming happily as she washed the dishes, still in a happy buzz from earlier. A sound however, she turned to see that it was her mother gasping at the news. "Just as Canterlot was about to celebrate the appearance of our two new superheroes, Dragonfly and Draconequus, a new wave of panic sweeping across the city as dozens of ponies are mysteriously transformed into stone monsters! It's simply unbelievable!" the news ancher said, showing dozens of innocent ponies turned to replica statues of Stone Heart. Twilight and her family gasped but unlike her parents, Twilight was feeling most responsible. Tears threaten to spill as she turned away and ran to her room. She didn't know how, but she knew one thing... This was my fault! ------------------------------------------------------------ Rainbow sat with a annoyed look on her face as Discord happily munched on his food. "Cotton candy..." she said, rolling her eyes. "Fantastique! All he eats is Cotton candy which means now I'm going to be sticky everywhere..." she stopped herself when the news caught her attention. "These victims transformed into stone beings are now stone like statues! Police are perplexed! What will happen to them? Will they come to life or be frozen in time forever?" Rainbow jumped from her seat. Why are there still stone monsters around? "Discord, whats going on? I thought we defeated him!" In Twilight's room, she was asking the same questions to her kwami. They both turned around at their masters, a confused look on their faces. "Did you catch the akuma?" they asked. Twilight blinked, confused. "What does capturing the akuma have to do with the other stone beings?" Spike flew to the screen, pointing at a picture of the statues. "An akuma can multiply!" he said frantically, moving his little claws. "That's why it must be captured! If Bulks emotions come negative again and the akuma turn him back into Stone Heart then he will be able to control the stone beings and turn them back to life and serve as his army!" Twilights eyes widened in shock. "Well that mean... this is all my fault?!" she exclaimed, however not totally surprised. "I knew it! I told you Spike, I'm not cut out to be a super hero! I'm only going to keep messing up!" Spike shook his little head vigorously, keeping an encouraging smile. "Keep calm! It was your first day!" Twilight turned her back on him, not wanting to look in his hopeful eyes. "You're going to go back and capture Stone Hearts akuma and do it successfully!" Twilights breath hitched. Go back? He expects her to go back?! She turned back around, back at Spike, shaking her head in fright. "I can't! I told you, I'm clumsy! I create disasters all the time! I'll only make things worse for me, for you, for every pony! Draconequus is better off without me..." she turned around again, making her mind. "I'm quitting." Spike gasped. ------------------------------------------------------------ "So I can't do anything without Dragonfly?" Rainbow asked incredulously. Discord shrugged, taking another bite of his Cotton candy. "Only Dragonfly can catch the akumas and repair damage made from super villains." ------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight walked to her mirror, Spike flying nervously behind her. She sighed, looking at herself in the mirror. "If Draconequus can't capture the akumas then find another Dragonfly." she turned to him with an hopeless look. "I told you, I'm not cut out to be a Dragonfly!" Spike looked at Twilight with a pleading look. He gasped as she reached for the ear ring. "I'm sorry Spike..." Spike reached out his claw. "No! Don't!" but it was too late. With a click, the magical jewelry was off. Twilight sighed and looked up, ready to apologies but paused when she saw she was alone. "Spike?" she asked looking around. She sighed, at the verge of tears once again. This was it. She turned around and placed the ear ring back in their box and into her drawer, out of sight, out of mind. Her vision blurred as she collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm really sorry Spike..." ------------------------------------------------------------ King Umbrum laughed gleefully, all is going according to plan. "Bulk has a sensitive heart, it won't be long before anger and sadness strike again!" he watched as the original Breezy flies back into the room. He raised his cane and the Breezy landed on it, getting absorbed inside the jewel. "And he and the stone beings come alive! Then we'll see how long you remain Dragonfly and Draconequus! Once I have your Miraculous, you will be powerless against me! "Every pony will be powerless against me!! "I will have absolute power!!!" He laughed maniacally as his window closed, draping him in total darkness. Everything is going his way. Soon my pretties, you will be mine... Soon!
