The messenger flew as fast as he could to Equestria, only to see it in a more disastrous state than it originally was. “What happened here?” He descended to the ground and took notice of the state of things. “It seems that HE has already been Released!” Noticing the ponies had lost their power he sighed in relief “Thank goodness. It’s Tirek and not…that being…but still, this is a problem.” He made his way to the royal palace as fast as he as could. Only to see no sign of the ruler of the sun. “Oh no…” But he then felt a large spike in power. “What?” He looked towards the direction of the source and saw a pillar of light and he paled the “Almighty Dragon’s power has awoken...” He said with dread. “I…I have to investigate!” He flew in the direction of the pillar.
Moments earlier…
“Excellent…EXCELLENT!” Tirek chuckled feeling victorious. “I now have the power of not one but FOUR Alicorns, draconequus, and a multitude of ponies.” Tirek gloated then glanced at the Mane Six, Spike, And Discord “Now what to do first? I know! Which one should die first….” Tirek saw that Spike and Discord were standing before all of them but two, in particular, Spike was trying to protect the most. “OH, I KNOW!! You!” He levitated Twilight in front of him. “I think you will serve as the perfect example …But First I WANT TO SEE YOUR HOPE DIE IN YOUR EYES!! I’ll first bring those three princesses’ back from Tartaruus then I will publicly execute them!” Tirek continues with his sadistic gloating of what he planned not noticing that an aura began to form. Emanating from Spike. His rage grew as he listens to Tirek “THEN I WILL KILL YOUR FAMILY!!” Spike’s fury grew. “ONE BY ONE LEAVING YOUR BROTHER FOR LAST, FOR A NICE, SLOW, PAINFUL DEATH!” Spike began to snarl lowly. “THEN I WILL KILL EACH OF YOUR FRIENDS!” the Dragon’s Eyes began to glow. “Then I will toy with you for a while…” Tirek smiled with dark intentions. At that moment Spike could now longer take it. Power exploded from his body forming a large pillar of light.
‘At long last.’ A voice spoke in his mind. ‘The Time has come!’ the pillar slowly began to spin becoming a swirling vortex shaped aura.
“What is this?!”
Elsewhere…outside of Equestria in the dragon kingdom
“What...” A huge black dragon looked out his window.
“My liege?” A smaller dragon called in concern.
“My people! The Grand Dragon Myth…IS TRUE!!” He roared.
“DRAGON KING BAHAMUT ARE YOU SURE?!” Bahamut glanced at the smaller one
“Yes, Giga.” Bahamut said to his servant as he left the castle and flew to Equestria. “Could it be?”
In Tartarus
Celestia suddenly stood up from her kneeling position with new vigor. “Impossible…”
“Sister?” Luna looked in concern.
“I…I think a certain myth might have suddenly become true.” Celestia had a look of hope and of desperation. “And I think somepony that I thought forgot about me is returning to Equestria for a visit because of it.”
Back in Ponyville
Power began to swirl around Spike as phantasmal figures of Dragons appeared behind him, 10 of them to be precise two were armless bipedal dragons with wings but much too powerful and large to be classified as a Wyvern. The one on the left was silver, the one on right was more obsidian in color (these two happens to be in the center). One shines like the stars in the sky. Another with a visage of a fiend. One the serpent-like with angelic wings on it back. One that had strange spikes where its wings would be. Another that looks like a fairy. A plant like one. One that looked like a dinosaur with some strange stinger on its arm as if it used to be a robot. Finally, one that looked more like a bird than a dragon. However in front of the group of dragons stood three men. One man was wearing silver armor, another man in a blue dragon styled armor with wings that allowed him to fly and one that seemed to be in some sort of golden outfit. Finally next to the man in the golden uniform was some sort of furry little creature with horns. The dragons began to speak with a thundering voice. “Dovah vopraan ol dii tuz meyz zobahlaas. Nep ko hin luft fod hi piraan wah kos bahlaan. To Zu'u lost stripped do viing. Dinok los ofan Zu'u drun. Vos joor hon zey mirodah! Gaar dovah!” The men then spoke up after all this was said.
"What are you waiting for? THIS IS YOUR CHANCE!!" The one in gold bellowed
"Defeat this fiend at once. Channel your power. SHOW THEM YOUR TRUE MIGHT!!" The silver armored man added. The dragon armored one spoke.
“Kid…If you want to protect those that you care about…then you need to let go…release your anger on your foes….BECOME ONE WITH YOUR WRATH!!” Spike eyes glowed brighter than it did before. “THAT’S IT NOW SAY THE WORDS AND UNLEASH YOUR POWER!!!”
“The dragon wakes as my blade becomes thirsty. Laugh in your face when you claim to be worthy. Though I was stripped of wings. Death is the gift I bring. Let mortals hear me sing! Unleash the dragon!” When this was said Spike began to change the figures allowed Spike to absorb them. His teeth became sharper. His body got larger. His spines and ears became spikier. Wings grew from his back. His claws were sharper. Golden armor with a silver sheen was equipped to his body. Spike began to breathe for a bit. Then he spoke in a low voice that echoed. “Hear me Roar…” Then he let out a roared. Tirek stood shaken at what transpired. What was once a mere dragon whelp was now fully grown dragon with and unusual armor. Said dragon is now glaring at him. On one hand, this could be trouble…HE HAS NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS! On the other hand…
“More Magic for me to absorb!” Tirek Smirked thinking of all that power. He began to try and absorb but.
“FOOL!!” A Voice erupted. “YOU THINK YOU CAN TAKE US AWAY FROM OUR PARTNER!?”
“IMBECILE!” Another rang out. “THIS IS NOT MAGIC FOR YOU TO ABSORB BUT THE POWER OF A DRAGON FOR THE ALMIGHTY DRAGON TO CONTROL!!”
“Almighty Dragon?” Tirek said with amusement. “Well then” He smiled at the possible Challenge and laughed. “LET'S HAVE SOME FUN!!!”
