A loud rumble shook the cavern, raining dust and small bits of debris down on the table where a navy Blue Pegasus mare with an amber mane and green eyes sat with a mug of coco in her hooves.
Before her was a lightly chiming mirror, that currently acted more like a window and showed a black throne on the other side of the glass.
Saturnia sighed. It took forever for her mother to answer the mirror when there was an emergency here, but she wouldn't even show up some times for a good while if she called Saturnia instead.
Another rumble and a muted roar could be heard as the 'pegasus' covered her hoof over the top of the coco as more dust and rock fell from above. Once it subsided she took another sip as she noticed movement in the mirror, her mother taking her place in the throne.
“Saturnia has everything been prepared on your end?”
“Yes mother, some how despite the 'help' you've sent me everything is still going as planed.” another rumble stopped her. “We have secured the invitations that were sent to the Element bearers, though the target has again shown up in Ponyville repeatedly. So clearly some one in Canterlot is not doing their part.”
“I do not like your tone Saturnia.”
“And I do not like the ones you sent to help me.” Saturnia sighed. “Thorax has yet to stop asking questions about EVERYTHING, but at least he's competent. Unlike Knees who if not for a particular gray mail mare, would stand out like a sore antenna at the post office. And don't even get me started about Kevin. I don't even understand Kevin, the fool refuses to even wear a disguise. How has he not ruined everything? NO ONE NOTICES HIM!!”
“Saturnia we already had a long talk about Kevin. He's the gatherer, just let him do what he does and try to ignore how he does it. It will cause far less headaches. Trust me on that.”
There was another roar and more rumbling.
“What is that?” The mirror demanded.
“Oh .. A dragon is attacking Ponyville.” Saturnia offered taking a sip of coco.
“A dragon!?”
“It's one of the Sparkles.”
“The little brother?”
“He's the size of a three story building now, but yes the little one.”
Saturnia's mother stared a moment as another rumble shook the chamber.
“You are remarkably calm about a rampaging dragon in town that is the brother of your personal target.”
“Ehh, It's Tuesday.” Saturnia shrugged as Bees ran past behind her screaming about being doomed.
[Canterlot]
Rainbow Dash glared at the unicorn before her. She really wanted to just deck him and move on, but the plethora of Guards around made the violent approach not likely a thing.
A sudden inspiration struck Rainbow Dash and she grinned a wicked grin.
“Okay two questions Mr. Uptight and stupid.” Rainbow Dash stated.
“No you cannot pass without an appointment.” Starched Collar answered.
“Not one of the questions.”
“Fine. What is it.”The stallion blinked a bit confused.
“Okay first off, are there noble ponies, who are on your list, who have entered the throne room?” Rainbow Dash asked
“Of course there are a number of noble ponies, who are on the list who have entered.”
“Okay, good, two are you a noble yourself, minor or other wise?”
The stallion blinked. “Indeed I am of a minor house …. what......”
Dash cut him off before he continued..” That's all I needed. “
With a quick motion of her wings Rainbow Dash zipped up close to the stallion, grabbed the starched shirt collar he wore and yanked it up and over his head, the material binding up to cover his eyes and ears before she yanked on the tie making it even tighter around his head before letting the now flailing stallion fall off to the side.
One of the Guards snorted in laughter though both moved to arrest the mare in question for the assault only to be greeted by a small laminated card with the Royal Seal and Princess Celestia's signature.
Dash grinned holding up her hunting license.
“You heard it guys, he said he was a noble and I've got no limit on bagging them. And he said there were more in the throne room. I have a permit to hunt them, so I need to go where they are to do so.” Rainbow Dash grinned.
The two guards looked at the permit, looked at each other, then shrugged and opened the door for Rainbow Dash.
[ Ponyville ]
“So Twi have any last minute bright ideas to save tha town.” Applejack asked.
“The Wonderbolts are here!” Pinkie Pie cheered.
“I'm hoping Princess Celestia can get a hold of Bleu and she knows what's going on.” Twilight sighed. That's the only thing I can account for being the delay.”
“And Spike trapped them under the old town hall bell.” Pinkie added.
“ What about stopping him yourself? You three tend to fight all the time, surely you have something that could ate least slow him down?” Rarity asked.
“The Cutie Mark Crusaders are here.” Pinkie Pie announced.
“Normally yes, but at this size anything I use to stop him could hurt him. If I knew what the issue was I could do something and... what the buck did you just say?” Twilight whirled looking at Pinkie Pie who had been on Spike's back a moment ago and was now sitting on the balcony with them. Rahs was still hanging on trying to calm Spike down with no success.
“She said the Cutie Mark Crusaders are here.” Fluttershy pointed to the ground under the balcony. ”What's that they have with them?”
“Girls get back inside this instant!” Rarity shouted over the edge of the balcony at the trio only to blink as a massive blue cloud of smoke engulfed the trio.
A flash of orange wings made the smoke billow around the figure ivory horns that swept back over the head of the scaled creature that burst out of the smoke into the air, a ridge of magenta ran down along the beasts back. There was a snort of fire and the flash of claws and sharp teeth as the scaled beast threw back it's head and roared.
“GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGHHH AKK hack, cough, cough.... ow..” Scootaloo gasped falling over as she choked on a bit of the smoke around her and promptly fell out of the air where she had gotten enough lift with her wings to make it about a foot off the ground.
Twilight and the others slowly blinked as they looked down at Scootaloo, who was now a orange dragon a little bit bigger than she had been as a filly.
“Huh she turned into a dragon too. I wonder if there's a connection of some sort. I'll have to check on that later.” Twilight pondered.
The next figure to step out of the smoke was a pitch black furred vision of darkness. Her hooves sparked as they stuck the ground and her mane and tail flowed around her, the pink and purple tresses dotted with stars, her green eyes narrowed. The smoke around her billowed away from the nightmare as her horn flared and tiny wings flapped.
“THE NIGHT SHALL LAST FOREVER!!!” Sweet Nightmare squeaked.
Rarity raised an eyebrow and huffed in annoyance as the other four giggled.
“Ah know she's trying to be intimidating, but that's adorable.” Applejack smirked.
“She's so precious.” Fluttershy coo at the little swath of darkness far below her.
“SWEET NIGHTMARE IS NOT ADORABLE, WE ARE A FORCE TO BE RECONNED WITH!!” Sweet Nightmare shouted back.
“I've got some cure shampoo mixed up just in case, we'll get them back to normal and try to figure out what the heck they were thinking. “ Twilight sighed before a massive boom made the whole balcony shake.
The smoke swirled away dissipating fully as a massive yellow and red form rose from it , standing up fully and able to look the dragon Spike straight in the eyes.
Her bow alone could have made sixteen thousand three hundred and four... and a half of normal sized bows.
Rarity calculated it.
“Oh, so that's what they were doing.” Pinkie Pie stated looking up at Appleboom.
“Oh heck no.” Applejack snapped, yelling up at the towering filly.” Applebloom you sit right there and don't ya even think about doing nothing.....stop ignoring me!!! GIT BACK HERE YOUNG MISSY!!”
“Gee what a head strong young filly. I do wonder where she gets it from.” Rarity smirked as Applejack glared at her and Appleboom thundered off.
The rampaging dragon stopped and turned looking across the burning and crushed town at the massive figure moving through the smoke towards him.
The billowing smoke wafted away at the massive presence of the yellow and red maned form stomping towards him.
Something in the back of his mind was rather excited to see the giant filly. But the bestial part of him responded to the advancing creature as a threat and he roared out a challenged that shook the walls of the buildings around him sending snow billowing into the air.
The massive filly paused at the roar. She had come to try and talk some sense into Spike, though that guttural roar that was thrown at her simply got the fillies dander up. Applebloom was no stranger to a scrap or two, mostly with the other crusaders about what was gonna be that days crusade, but she usually came out on top.
Spike was normally the calm one, but here he was trashing the town and roaring at her. She needed to get him out of town now.
“Aaaaaaahhh shaddup! If'n yah won't go quietly ah'll make yah go.”Applebloom bellowed back just as loud as Spike and shook a few buildings herself and sending up more clouds of snow from the tops of the buildings with the comment.
A number of towns ponies who had been running around like mad slowed as they looked up at the giant pony in their midst now.
“Hey is that Applebloom?” one of the ponies asked the now silent mob.
“Yeah I'm pretty sure that is, look she's got the bow too.” another called out. “ That thing is huge.... it would make... at least 12 regular bows.”
“Well.... you're not wrong....”
“That's rather cute.” a third admitted.
“So the dragon attack is just a Cutie Mark Crusader thing?” yet another asked.
“Seems it. Poor things always getting into mischief.”
There were some good natured laughs from the crowds.
“I wonder what cutie mark they were going for with this one?” The first asked again.
“Kaiju big battle cutie mark?”
“Those words made no sense, apologize.”
“WAIT... what day is it?” one finally shouted.
There was a general muttering as ponies pondered the dates and some one pulled a small calendar out of their mane to check.
“Tuesday.” the one with the calendar offered.
There was silence again for a moment before a hesitant voice pipped up.
“So.... the Crusaders are crusading..... on a Tuesday......”
Once more there was a moment of silence before every pony started screaming and running around in a panic again.
“Gotta do this quick, maybe dunk him in tha lake til he cools down.” Applebloom muttered to herself wishing she had thought to bring some of her sisters rope with her to this size as she rushed at the raging dragon, her every hoof step knocking snow from the trees and the thus far undamaged buildings as she charged Spike. “Quit fightin, ahm trying tah help yah!”
The rush forward might have been an impressive tackle that would have pushed the dragon back out of the town, though it probably would have earned the farm filly a few scratches and maybe a singed mane as well had she connected.
She did not in fact, connect as intended and instead in the middle of her charge through the farmers market her giant hoof came down on a discarded banana peel. She then was sent sliding uncontrollably across the rest of the distance to impact into the giant Spike, who was stunned and confused at the dance number being done that reminded him of his sister.
Applebloom slammed into Spike, sending them both tumbling backwards to crash in the school yard with Applebloom landing atop of Spike.
The impact, while taking out a number of buildings, several snow ponies, and that one house that still hadn't taken down it's Hearth's Warming decorations, did not hurt either combatant, or the school.
It did however impact the pairs heads together in a way that when Applebloom opened her eyes, she was kissing a rather shocked looking Spike.
A Spike who after the moment of surprise had rapidly started shrinking down to his normal size as he stared up at her.
Applebloom's eyes widened further as her face turned a bright candy apple red and she took off screaming, smashing through town and stampeding back towards Sweet Apple Acres
“RELEASE ME FOUL MARE,AND I SHALL ENSURE YOUR DEATH IS MERELY PROLONGED AND PAINFUL, RATHER THAN TORTUROUS AND ETERNAL!!!” Sweet Nightmare bellowed and was readily ignored as she dangled in Rarity's magic.
Twilight was staring up at the scene as it unfolded and took note of a rather annoyed Rahs bringing a unconscious Spike back towards the library. Applebloom had taken off in a run, screaming towards Sweet Apple Acres, smashing a number of buildings and trees along the way, her face as red as her mane.
“Explain?” Twilight demanded of the two remaining members of the CMC.
“YOUR TOAST HAS BEEN BURNT AND NO AMOUNT OF SCRAPING SHALL EVER REMOVE THE BLACK!!” Sweet Nightmare shouted.
“Scootaloo.” Twilight asked directly.
“Well Applebloom kinda has a crush on Spike, and has for a while now...” Scootaloo muttered rubbing the back of her scaled head with her claws.
Twilight pressed her hoof to the bridge of her nose with a sigh.”I don't need this.”
She glanced over at the normal sized Spike who was now stretched out over her brothers shoulders as Rahs sat nearby frantically writing something down in a notebook.
“What are you doing?” Twilight questioned.
“Woof.
“I can see that you're writing but what?”
“Bark”
What? You're writing a play based on all this!? At best this is just a demented retelling of beauty and the beast.” Twilight accused.
“Wuff.”
“What do you mean it's an adaptation for the modern era? No, you know what, never mind. Just give me Spike and I'll take him up to Canterlot to be checked out myself.”
* BAMF *
“Twilight! “ Princess Celestia called out as she appeared inside the library and quickly rushed outside.
“OH, NOW, YOU SHOW UP!” Twilight ranted as a building collapsed behind her.

Scootaloo = Smolder joke? Really?
Celestia better get ready for another "you useless rant"
9447373
Hopefully Rainbow Dash explains it's not Celestia's Fault but the worthless palace staff who can't tell a national hero from their own flankhole.
9447372
I for one see nothing bad, Is the new chicken joke... Before Scootaloo was always a chicken, now is a dragon
9447373
Not her fault this time it was that other pony fault. Remember the ass he refused to listen to Rainbow, and sure he was instructed to allow real emergencies in.
9447415 9447395
yess but you think the castle staff would knew if it has anything to do with the Sparkles then it goes to front of ever line.
Nightmare Sweetie Bell?
...
...
...
...
Tolling Bell! "Ask not for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for YOU!"
Makes sense for the panic now lol
Also we need more Kevin it's just funny a changling called kevin
Sounds about right.
Easy the town is used to weird shit happen at any given time thanks to the CMC plus Spike and the element bearers
Is Kevin the changeling who was at cranky and matildas wedding?
Now the question is will Scootaloo want to keep the wings that let her fly more than she wants a cutie mark 🤔 Stay a dragon and be able to fly or pony and get a cutie mark choices choices on her end.
Heh. This whole chapter was basically cmc madness.
9447466
But the tolling in that "poem" wasn't saying you were about to die, it was mourning your loss of someone you might know.
9447935
That just means that she'll kill all of your loved ones first! That's even worse!
I simply love your version of Twiggles. The sheer fury and "I'm not paid enough for this shit"Ness she portrayals is legendary
Ponyville has successfully tamed the changeling princess.
Why the shock? I thought every day in Ponyville is Tuesday. Plus you sound as if the CMCs usually file a crusading schedule to the town.
... is this the reason of her marvelous cooking skill? That she was possessed by a Nightmare Kitchen Spirit?
F***ing Kevin, WHY IS HE EVEN HERE!
9447439
Minor Noble remember, that a good enough for reason for the Ass to make it troublesome.
9447686
She still can't fly. she made it one flutter into the air before falling again
9447372
It was either that or another chicken joke.
9447670
yes, i'm pretty sure that's what the fandom named him.
9448126
9447395
9447439 Don't worry it gets smoothed over. But there's always some one who has their nose so far up their own ass they don't pay attention to the news. Or in Starched case, some one who follows the rules with no exceptions ever.
Alternative musical accompaniment:
My brothers and I still quote this line to this day.
Spike and Applebloom? Eh, doesn't really fit that well to me. They haven't really interacted in a way that says "romantically compatible" at all before, so it would feel a little forced.
Makes sense
I'm Applejack in this scene
...there really should be a rule/national law against that
...
Awww that's just precious
Darkwing Duck ?
9448712
Isn’t that how all phantom shipping’s are slightly forced? Does it matter how small the evidence people ship thanks for shipping sake. heck, saw someone ship Boulder and Tom once
9447484
Definitely. We need more Kevin doing whatever he does, which is probably nothing but sitting there in the background. A black belt master of the Wallflower technique obviously.
9447484
For some reason it reminds me of Kevin from 321penguins. Man, I loved that show as a kid.......
9550186
Wait wait wait. Are we talking about Boulder from RE5? Because Boulder and Chris have a deep, meaningful relationship.

Red versus Blue season 3
By this figure, Apple Boom is either ~25.4 times larger than regular Apple Bloom ( 16304^(1/3) ) or ~127.7 times larger ( 16304^(1/2) ).
You spelled "unconscious" very wrong in this chapter.
Sorry, my mobile swipe-typing I've been trying lost an 's'
He's the changeling pinkie
This is better.
Damn... Smolder has a Poisen Joke double?
Celestia timing is perfect
Kevin walks around all nature... DAAAMNNN! Nice...
So... What caused Spike change?
Great episode re-write!
Kevin and Pinkie Pie... They simply make the reality around them there bitch...
Appleblooms kiss brake the curse over her poor scaled Prince.
Sounds about right for the guard.
Can we ship Changeling Kevin with great elder god Pinkie Pie? It fits...
SWEET NIGHTMARE is sooo
The poor poor toast!
Sweet Nightmare reminds me too much of O'Malley.
Ahhh, looks like Saturnia has become a Ponyville native
