King of Dragons and some old friends Part 1
"Are you sure Yang?" Bron asked
"Yes I saw with my own eyes. He has the powers of Heroes and Dragons of old! He IS the Almighty Dragon!!" Yang implored
"Hmm.. . Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Ice, Electricity, Fear, Poison, Shadow, and Aether. The Elements of the Almighty Dragon...He only has scratched the surface of his powers. We must leave and meet the dragon immediately." Bron said getting up "Alexander, Neptune call the ambassadors, Michael and Yang inform Evangeline she will be happy to see some old friends." The servant left to their tasks "We will meet again it seems"
In the skies above
"Equestria how long has it been since gazed at its beauty." A jet-black dragon sighed
"Focus Obsidian! It seems something has occurred!" Bahamut warned
In the new palace
What remained of the Library seemed to be merged with the new castle giving it a look of a tree growing crystals and gems instead of fruit. "How long until he wakes up?" Twilight asked looking at the dragon on Celestia's back
"A few minutes perhaps. But he needs his-" Celestia paused and gazed outside and snickered "He's here~!" She sang out
"Who?"
"Spike’s Daddy." Luna answered as she, Celestia went outside. The Mane Six followed them. What they saw shocked them. A large Bipedal Dragon standing roughly around 20 feet tall, he had platinum scales on his body.
"Is that?" Rarity asked as other dragons landed next to the metallic colored dragon.
"Yes. Bahamut" Celestia answered. Spike began to stir as he started to wake up. "Dracone, your father is here." Spike slowly open his eyes to see the King of Dragons before him
"Hi dad." Spike said with a yawn.
"Hello Dracone." Bahamut greeted, Smiling gently at his son. "I'm sure you have question about what happened to you but wait a bit longer the others shall arrive soon." Spike nodded as he dismounted from his mother's back. Shortly afterward a bright light flashed in front of the ponies and several humanoid creatures were before them.
"Hey Twilight, are those Humans?" Rainbow asked
"No, they look similar but there's something different about them." Twilight glanced at them noticing two important details: One they have wings and two they have pointed ears. One of them began to speak.
"Celestia, Luna, Bahamut. It's been awhile."
"Bron. I take it you have been informed about what’s going on?"
"I have." Bron noticed the confused looks from the Mane six and Spike "Where are my manners? I am Bron, Leader of the Elves" Bron introduced himself "And I have a bit of news but before I get to that have you ever heard of the old legend of the Almighty Dragon?" The Mane Six and Spike shook their heads.
"Never heard of it." Rainbow retorted. With a sigh Born began recall the tale.
"Ages ago, before Equestria was founded, humans and otherworldly creatures lived together in prosperity and harmony. However, there existed two tribes of dragons that were always feuding for as long as time can remember, their reason for such hatred is still unknown. The tribes were called the Red-Eyes and the Blue-Eyes. The majority of their members hated each other, That is, until the newest leaders for the many other tribes decided it had gone on long enough. With the aid of some powerful warriors and mages, the war was stopped, and the new leaders decided that it was time for the tribes to end their feuding and appointed new leaders of the tribes. One tribe member, however, rejected the notion and tried to usurp the new leaders. He was swiftly caught, beaten and sealed away. The dragon swore that one day he would return more powerful than any other dragon could ever hope to be. As time passed, humanity became distant from the other intelligent creatures and eventually left to another parallel world similar to ours. Before humans left, they created a prophecy that one day, an infant dragon would wield the power of the two Dragon tribes and it would be known the Almighty Dragon. But to this day the prophecy hasn't come true and is believed to be a mere myth… Very few people still believed that the tribes existed at all.”
"Wait a minute an infant dragon?" Twilight glanced at Spike "You think its Spike?"
"No...I know its Spike." Bron answered pointing to the purple dragon
"I figured that. I sense a large amount of power coming from this area and by the looks of it, I can safely say that my son is the dragon that legend spoke of." Bahamut confirmed. "But why are you here Bron?" Bahamut asked "Have you come to take him away?" Celestia glared standing before Spike protectively
"He won't get a chance to." The Solar Princess snarled
"No... I came to give a warning. The sealed Dragon mentioned in the legend...I believe he has become aware of the Almighty Dragon's existence...I fear the Parallax has woke up and possibly free." Bron said gravely
"Paralax?"
"Paralax was once a member of the blue eyes tribe but when the two tribes united, he was against the notion and attacked...He drew power from the Malefics and the Infernoids to become what he believed to be the strongest of all Dragons. Thus, Paralax the Dragon of Devestation was born. But he was beaten by the combine might of the two tribes his power was sealed away as his body was." Bron explained "But I believe that he can be destroyed once and for all but in order for that to happen we need the aid of power the remaining elements."
"So you need the Tree of Harmony?" Pinkie asked
"No not those elements. I am referring to the elements of the dragons of old. Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Ice, Electricity, Fear, Poison, and Shadow. Only then he can gain the true powers of the Almighty Dragon: the powers Aether”
“What’s Aether?” Rarity asked. Bron paused but Bahamut answered
“Aether was an element used by one the famous and powerful heroes to the Dragons: Spyro of the Purple Scales.” Bahamut began “You see after Paralax’s defeat not only humans left but some dragons. Taking with them the secrets to manipulating the elements. But one Dragon stood out from amongst those that left: Spyro…or rather Spyro of the Purple scales.”
“What’s with the lame name?” Bahamut snarled at the insult that Rainbow made. Luckily Twilight beat him to the punch
“Rainbow…before you anger Bahamut even further with your comments, please remember that he could have KILLED Tirek by himself with no problems if he was aware about it. SO HUSH!” Twilight Scolded
“As for the name at the time purple dragons are considered rare. Also the particular Spyro came from a long line of those called Spyro…Except it obvious that he was the wisest and strongest of the predecessors. He knew how to combine dragon kai with the power of Aether and unlike Malafor he could TRULY use Aether’s counterpart Nether. But his scales were more than just colored purple they seemed to be always emitting powerful glow.” Bahamut chuckled. “And Unlike his two previous ancestors he slayed Malafor once and for all. Any ways, Spyro knew that secrets to the elements of Dragons were too dangerous for the dragons of Equestria so he hid them away. Each guarded by a powerful being representing the element they guard. Aether however is the unity of these elements that can only be earned by those who demonstrate the ability to use all 9 elements before them. It can be best described as the source of all life force.”
“But wouldn’t make Spike, Spyro?” Discord asked
“No. Although his name is associate with Spyro he isn’t Spyro. The Almighty dragon’s Destiny and role is to slay a great evil that arises. It just so happens that Spike needs the powers of Spyro as well.” Bron refuted
“You make it sound like there were other Dragons like this.” Celestia spoke up
“Not exactly. If you mean heroes then yes there were dragons before them but legends say that the powers they wield shall belong to the Almighty Dragon.” Bron responds “Spike needs to contact representatives of those elements in order to obtain the true power of the elements."
"So Who are they?" Pinkie pie asked wondering if she would make a ‘Nice to meet you: Elemental Representative!’ Party
"That’s just it I don't know...” Bron answered with a shrug
"Uh I have a suggestion." Fluttershy spoke up
"Yes?"
"What about Discord?" Bron shook his head at Fluttershy’s suggestion
"I have considered that but he can't be it...” Bron responded
“Hey I saw something weird while I was in the Everfree. It seemed to be a living mask with feathers. Is that something?” Spike spoke up Bahamut eyes widen and smiled
“YES! That is Aku Aku of Mojo! Spyro chose him to guard the element of earth.”
“Why a mask?” Twilight asked
“Well the mask is an extension of a being that was in charge of protecting the balance of nature. But he was not always a mask he was once creature that fought against those that would harm and twist nature for their own gains” Bron explains. “Where is he Spike?”
“I saw him at Zecora’s”
“Find this Zecora and get that Mask”
