"I really hope Spike accepts our apology." Rarity murmured. She glanced over at us. "And I can't believe that you, of all ponies, would even suggest doing this."

"What's that supposed ta mean?" Rainbow shot a glare at the white unicorn.

Lulu and I shared a look. The two had been going back and forth like this ever since Rainbow and I grabbed Rarity and Lulu at my suggestion. To take my mind off of Rarity stealthily insulting Rainbow, I smacked my head into the library's door in lieu of knocking. After waiting a few minutes, Lulu lightly sprayed the two mares to stop their bickering.

<<If we didn't need them for the episode to work...>> Lulu murmured. <<Seriously, why those two? They don't have much in common!>>

I shrugged as the mares entered the library. I led Lulu through the library towards Yomega. It didn't take very long before we met up with him. He was carrying a tray with a teapot and cups on it from the kitchen.

I checked to see if the ponies were paying us any sort of attention. Finding that they were too engrossed with Spike, I turned to the grey canine. "So, we're here, they're there, and Spike'll be leaving soon." I smiled. "Last chance to change your mind on if we're following them or not."

"No, we're going." Yomega slid the tray onto a nearby table. "How long until they make their costume?"

Lulu interrupted me. "Shouldn't be too long." Noticing us looking at her, she elaborated. "Rarity was already making a dragon costume for the migration before the trench plan became a thing. Shouldn't take her very long for her to modify it to be able to hold the three of them." She paused, frowning. "Although, I highly doubt that it'll fool any sort of dragon. Unless they are all moronic brutes like those Diamond Dogs you've told us about."

I chuckled a little bit. "No, it works. It takes a coincidence bigger than Celestia's ass and yet simple enough to make Discord proud." I rolled a paw at the fashionista. "That green, lumpy, and gem encrusted mess of a disguise- oh, cut it out, you were thinking it, too!" I snapped at Lulu's glare. "Anyways, that mess conveniently resembles another older dragon, so all the teens think that the disguise is that dragon's kid."

Yomega sighed. "Truly, a contrived convenience only possible with a writing staff."

"Fuck, I hate living in a show sometimes." I groused. "It's a good show, don't get me wrong, but things like this rub me the wrong way, ya know?"

Both of them nodded. A crack of displaced air interrupted us, causing us to focus back to the mares and dragon. We stayed silent as we watched Spike begin his grand quest. We ended up standing to the side of the ponies, waving to Spike as he marched away.

<<Have fun storming the castle!>> I called out to him.

<<Think he'll make it?>> Lulu asked me.

Yomega snorted. <<Take a miracle.>>

We frantically renewed our waving. <<Good bye!>>

"We're following him, right?" Rarity murmured to Twilight.

"Of course." The purple mare asked just as quietly. We just shared another nod.


It only took a few days for us to lose Spike's trail. Of course, we lost the girls' trail much sooner, since they hadn't put the costume on yet and their longer strides ate more ground then ours.

"You sure we're going the right way, Leo?" Lulu asked me for the umpteenth time.

"Yes!" I scowled. "My soul bond and loyal-dar are both saying 'this way'. So, unless you want to rely on your nose..."

"I'm not putting my snout that close to dirt!" She scoffed.

"Then shaddup an' let me focus!"

Yomega panted from behind Lulu. "Less talky, more walky."

"Yes, mom." Lulu and I both rolled our eyes.

"Just let me know when you guys wanna stop for lunch." I continued. I gave a dead-eyed stare as I heard something growl from behind me. "... Or your stomach can tell me now." I glanced back to see Yomega blushing.

We quickly found a secluded depression under a rock. I could faintly hear running water nearby. We slid our saddlebags off and got comfortable. I went through mine, looking for any foodstuffs I may have missed. My search grew more and more frantic as I repeatedly came up with nothing.

"I'm out..." Lulu nearly whimpered.

"Same." Yomega eventually groaned. They both turned expectant looks to me.

With a sigh, I upended my bags, shaking a bit of lint out. "Guess we seriously underestimated how long we'd be gone."

"Great." Lulu's fur began to roil. "No food, barely any direction, no real way of finding our way back home. We're going to die out here." She finished with a sniffle.

I rolled my eyes. "Oh, shut up." I addressed Yomega while pointing to the water type. "Make sure she stays here." I got up and left the hollow.

"Where are you going?" Yomega asked.

"Fishing." I shot back. I followed the sound of water from earlier to a wide river. Thankfully, it didn't seem like we needed to cross it anytime soon. I found a calm spot in the river, and, letting my instincts take over, I dipped my tail into the water. A good ten minutes later, I had landed a few small fish.

Carrying my catch back to the others was a bit of a hassle, as I kept having to readjust the fishes. The look on Lulu's face was well worth it, though.

She eventually raised her wide-eyed stare up to me. "H-how are we going to cook them?"

I pulled one of the fishes free from the pile. I shrugged as I bit into the flesh, pulling a chunk free. "We're not." I spat out with a bone.

With a sigh, Yomega started to eat his own fish. Lulu spent the first few minutes gagging and groaning, before her hunger drove her into 'going feral'. Even then, she delicately picked around the organs and bones.

Soon enough, we were back on the road. Lulu extracting a promise from us to keep this to ourselves. Don't know who she's trying to impress with her civilized demeanor. I thought to myself as I took that night's watch. We ain't humans no more, might as well take advantage of our 'new' bodies and instincts.

"Whatever, she can play noble beast for now. Someday, she's going to be thanking those instincts."


It took us another two days to find traces of the others. (We buried Spike's tea set to grab on our way back.) Another week had passed before we found the volcanoes.

"Tell us, Leo." Yomega whispered in my ear. "What do your elven eyes see?"

I roughly shoved him to the side. "That joke was old the first time you said it." I glanced over at a slightly steaming Vaporeon. "You sure you're going to be okay?"

Lulu waved off my concerns. "I'll be fine." She looked over the gathering of dragons. "Do either of you two see them?"

"Hold on, lemme ping my loyal-dar."

"I don't see..." Yomega squinted. "Is that the costume?!" He gave Lulu a pat on the back. "Yeah, siding with Leo on this one. That costume sucks."

"Huh." I interrupted Lulu's retort. "I'm just getting an 'up'. Weird." Just then, a group of what I assumed to be teen dragons flew by overhead. I could make out Spike covering his eyes, carried aloft by an older hefty brown dragon. We blinked, before running after the teens as fast as we could. "Ooh. Up." I groused, swiftly taking the lead. "Stupid, vague ass sense."

After several minutes of running, I slowed to let the others catch their breath. We jumped as something large and green crashed through the forest nearby.

"The fuck was that?!" Yomega yelped.

"Probably the ponies." Lulu huffed. "Should we just follow them?"

"The sun'll be setting soon." I groaned. "Rainbow and I can find Spike, you just need to keep up."

Lulu frowned. "What's so important about sunset?"

"That's when they find a phoenix nest."

She tilted her head. "And that's bad?"

"If we can't help Spike fight off Garble and his cronies," Yomega staggered upright, "then yes."

Another couple of hours passed, and even I was starting to run out of steam. Oh, for fuck's sake. I panted, leading my packmates. I just can't get a clear location from the loyal-dar. I need something to narrow it down!

A blindingly bright light flared from ahead, causing me to trip and roll into a bush. I heard skidding and a splash from behind me. Once I could clearly see, I saw Yomega pulling himself out of a furrow and Lulu reforming herself beside the nearest tree. ... That'll do.

We bolted for the light as soon as we were able, arriving in a clearing in time to see the showdown between Spike and the mares and Garble and his lackeys.

"...I'll rip you to shreds!"

<<Hey! The face with a moron attached!>> I yelled, sliding to a stop in front of Spike, facing Garble. <<He's our friend, too! So fuck off if you wanna live!>>

Yomega stopped on my right side, hiding his panting remarkably well. <<We will not show mercy!>>

Lulu flowed to my far side, reforming into her best regal pose. <<And you can forget about any fire breathing, not with a water type to wash you away!>>

Garble stared at us open-mouthed, before he and his cronies started laughing. "O~o, scary!" Garble mocked. "Spike, are these namby-pamby ponies your friends?"

The larger dragon jabbed an elbow into the rail thin one, waving his arm at us. "At least they brought us a snack!"

<<Choke on this, ya fuck!>> I blurred, ramming head first into the fat-ass. I had a brief moment of satisfaction when he doubled over in pain. But the thin one panicked, and managed to punt me into... something. I was able to identify it as a tree before I lost consciousness.


[Third]

Garble gaped at the little furball. Somehow, it had vanished into a bright glow, before rocketing into Clump's gut. And not through the normal way things get there. Clump doubled over in obvious pain, and was forced to take a few steps back.

That thing can hurt dragons! He carefully kept his nervousness from showing. What is it, part Breezie?!

Fume reacted faster than Garble could, and punted it into the trees. Garble was impressed by the air and distance it got before disappearing in the trees with crunch. Getting a thumbs up from Clump, the red drake turned a vicious grin to the rest of Spike's friends.

"One down, six to go."

Yomega glared up at the dragons. <<I know you can't understand me.>> His voice was pitched low. <<But you have just made a grave mistake. Leo'll recover, she always does. So I don't need to worry about her right now.>> His glared became the full move, stunning the dragons with it's intensity. <<But you just pissed me off. You take a single step towards my dragon, and you'll be in for a bad time.>>

Garble shook off the strange feeling of... fear? "Right, now I'm mad!" He slowly stomped forward. He wanted the ponies and those dog things to feel terrified.

<<O~oh.>> Yomega smiled, as he felt something inside him react to his determination. <<You don't know how much you're gonna regret that.>>

Fume's eyes widened as the grey dog began to glow. "Screw that!" He yelled, breathing a gout of flame at the thing.
