Chapter 36: Dragon Crisis (S2E10)

Dragon Crisis

"Are you ready to do this?" Twilight asked excited to Leo.

"Haha! Ready as always!" He replied, in his aerokinesis form and stance of prepared for his sister any eventuality.

Today is a special day for the Sparkle. First are one of the lavender unicorns, who is doing her favourite list; organised. The manipulator was here because he willing to help, get to spent time with his favourite sister, and what are you guys expected? He's living in the treehouse.

Oh, and second is the purple baby dragon birthday...and the golden lion in next week. They came to this world on the same day so the family decided to put their birthday together. But first...

Twilight used her horn to light up some candles and closed up all the window curtains. She had determined looks on her faces while Leo cheerful smile as she lights her horns glow even stronger. With her eyes closed, Twilight pulled off all the books from the shelves, and then levitated some into the air and made them move about like they were in two invisible conveyor belts.

"No distractions, today is too important. Re-shelving day!"

"Name it and I'll shelf it for you, sis!" said Leo, wiggle his tail ready for action as the mare wiped her brow.

"Understanding Medieval Equestria goes in Pony History," said Twilight aloud as she let her brother put the books on their proper shelves with Wind Sphere. "Modern Spellcasting. That's Classics."

"The Art of Ruling 1000 Years...uh, Pony Politics?" Wind said since he wasn't as good at Library organization as his sister was.

"Correct, brother," She responded, "The Art of the To-Do List...I've been wanting to read that again."

"AHAHA! No." Leo simply reacted like that. "I love you sis, but the last time you read that one you were creating to-do lists to create a to-do list."

"Oh, relax. As your big sister, I'm allowed to do anything I wanna do without any goddess watching me." She proudly said.

Giggles from the lion. "Part about being a sister is true. Unfortunately, Celestia can gaze at us at any time right now with her magic mirror~"

"A-what?" A very standard shock coming for the mare itself. She gets used to the lion stuns her of his past time when she's not around him. "Princess Celestia has a magic mirror? For what? Wait, all this year, she spying us this all-time...? AND does this mean she WATCH us while we'll-"

The next word was interrupted by a chuckling sound, thank goodness. And it made a bunch of the books hovering in the air fall on top of them. It was Spike who came downstairs carrying a rather large red gem in the shape of a heart. He was currently cuddling it, gazing at it, and then used a tuning fork to test it and then giggled to himself.

"Spike! What are you laughing at?" Twilight yelled out as she poked her head out of a pile of books.

"Oh! Did your fire ruby almost done?" Asked now the silver-mane lion as he popped his head out of the pile of books.

"Not quite, although it's almost ripe," Spike told them he headed downstairs. Then he stepped on a dropped book on the step below and tumbled to the floor. His red gem went into the air but he managed to catch it with his tail. He giggled to himself then noticed all the books on the floor. "Hey, you took my advice! Just use the floor as one big shelf."

Twilight only growled at him but the lion chuckled with the dragon. Guess she could forget not having any distractions while she living with these boys...

Time passed as the taller than the drake back to work as suddenly sound of light knocking on the door.

"Hello~? Anypony home? Twilight? Leo?" said the voice before peeking in through the door. It was Rarity, who only then gasped when she saw Spike polishing his gem, "Is that a fire ruby?! Huh, that must be at least twenty carats! No inclusions, pristine facets..."

"And delicious." He added.

The librarian was feeling a little annoyed at their conversation. "Uhh...if you guys don't mind?" She asked and Leo humming continuing their work.

"Oh, uh, of course, I just came by to see if you had any books on historical fashion...Did you say...delicious?" Rarity first faces the other unicorn but got sidetracked when she heard what the little siblings told.

"Sure did!" said Spike as he cuddled the gem against his cheek, "Next weeks is my birthday along with Leo, and this is my birthday dinner." He walked off as Rarity watched him with a devastated look on her face. She just couldn't handle the idea of such a rare and precious gem being used for dragon food. Her thoughts were interrupted when a book came hovering next to her and made her lean back a bit.

"Ahem." The white mare surprise for a bit as she turns to saw Leo looking at her obvious understand what she was about to do. "Do that to him and I'll l blast you off this tree with my wind power."

Shocking. You'll never see him like this every day, the mare sheepishly smiled as she quickly opens and read the book Twilight give to her. Seeing him striking her chance has passed for a minute as he walked to his sister.

"Sis, it's afternoon already. I need to go to work." He said as he departed from the house with Twilight nodding after that.

Sighed relief, now her opportunity. Get that gems! What could go wrong, eh???


A weeks later, mayhem start...


Chaos...

Bedlam...

Uproar...

Pinkie Pie shirking loudly that can be heard by anypony as she saving her life by tossed a bunch of cake while yelling at...a dragon?! which is splattered on the ground near the large and greedy dragon.

"Back! Get back!"

"Pinkie Pie! Stop giving him a cake!" Twilight called out with the other Mane fellow who is gasped at seeing the creature.

"I'm not giving him a cake," Pinkie retorted, "I'm assaulting him with cake!" The dragon, Spike, then grabbed all the cakes on the panty Pinkie was standing on, causing her to fall to the floor face first. "How dare you take the cake!"

Only a growl he gave before he grew in size once more, but this time it was into a full-sized giant, rampaging dragon. As a result, the roofing of Sugarcube Corner has smashed apart. Spike gave a roar and noticed something in the distance and walked away.

"He's completely out of control!" said Twilight worried, "Who knows where he'll go next? And wherein Equestria is Leo?! Is his birthday today and why should he go out right now?! This whole rampage should make him notice immediately!"

Oh, yeah. That. Time passed as the group march on to you know who... At far a bit, the manipulate sitting with the laundry owner who reading a newspaper at the usual cafe. Which is not knowing the shenanigans has begun again.

"See, right here." Soothing Wave put down the paper and show it to Leo.

"What's that? Chance to get access to the best Spa in Canterlot with a beautiful and pleasant mare?"

"N-not that! Next to it, although that very interesting..." Wave mumble but immediately shook it off after seeing Leo start at him confused. "A-anyway, just read it, please."

"First one, then two. Ponyville hero; Mare-do-well and Silver Hearts newest favourite heroic in town..." He amused by reading it, continuing. "Sadly our champion never being sawed for a month, but the resident knows that one day the heroes return when the time comes. You like those heroes a lot, Wave?"

"Nah. The opposite."

"What...?"

The pony closes the newspaper and put it aside. "I don't like all those attractive their make, my friend. It creates many distracted for us to continue our daily work, for a kid they didn't mind at all because...their kid."

Leo nodded understanding the stallion staying. Although, this brings him pleased with the fact some who doesn't willing any heroes to the town. After all, Ponyville has the Element of Harmony bearer...if that not enough then they also have the Elemental manipulation too. Even though the wielder itself not want him to be a hero, he glad.

Which great because...they need him right NOW!!!

Without knowing a loud noise went off, causing them to quickly startled by this. Though, the manipulator didn't understand what in Equestria is going on...

"What was that noise?" He asked puzzled but try hard to kelp calm himself.

Luckily he with Wave. "That's Ponyville air raid siren. It's very rare to hear and yet, something dangerous must happens right now." He sounds very relaxed in this and any situation as he got up and ran outside of the cafe area with Leo close by.

The blue pony was right, ponies were running amok, the siren was destroyed and the only left is a hole in the ground. The thought of the lion was the solution of this is to use his earth power to re-raise the dirt to the same level of the surface. But that's not the case as the duo find out who cause all of this.

A giant dragon that has the same colour as a certain drake that the lion knows about. What a "surprise" received from him, you guys know what I mean. "I'm gonna kick her flank after this nonsense..."

"Who are you preferring, my friend?"

"Oh, nothing!" He shrugged sheepishly before the lion ran off. "Follow me! I think we need to go to somepony place that Bro heading right now!"

The earth pony just listen to him as they proceeded but he stops immediately. "Hold on that dragon is your brother?!"

Leo doesn't reply as it didn't take long for both of them to reach the white unicorn boutique because of the size of the drake. Which too late as Spike already grab her and put her on his tail. Not only that, but he also grabs the tank from the water tower which causes the liquid inside fall down and ponies running screaming for their lives.

Upon arriving they saw two familiar pegasuses, who trying reasoning with the dragon boy...well, one good cop while the other one bad cop. Oh, and it didn't work as the purple Draco use Rarity as a fly swatter that torn part of the cape of her wearing that deal effective against flying type.

The duo flyer screamed as they were went falling into the river below! Luckily--

"No time to lose, here I go!" Cut too short, the manipulate leap into the air and transform...


ELEMENTAL POWER!


ELEMENT WIND!!!


Giant Wind Sphere!

As he said, the aerokinesis flew up to the skies and gathers as much of the air as it shapes like a big sphere. Convinced it was enough, he tosses the ball to the falling cape with two pegasi inside and it hit, floating for a second before Leo move them aside to the river, next with Calming Wave.

"You two alright, my friend?" He asked gently.

"A-are we d-dead?" Fluttershy muttering as the sphere vanished, open the torn cape.

"No, I think... Is Leo!" Rainbow Dash shouted, giving him a "thank you" nod as here comes another aerialist, three of them! "Look! The Wonderbolts!"

"I know some of them! Hi, guys!" Leo waves at the bolts who reply with a salute.

With that, they quickly swooped down at Spike, startling him as he growled. They then air-dived at the dragon as Spike held his container of treasures close to himself. Spike then noticed a nearby mountain and started to climb it. Rarity screamed once again as the three Wonderbolts made another pass. This time, they managed to buzz cut the scales on his head. Spike then noticed a hole in the mountain above him. He quickly climbed up to the hole and stored his things inside and then leaned his back against the hole so nopony could get inside. As the Wonderbolts swooped down at him once more, Spike grabbed the silo and held it so the three flyers flew right into the rooftop of it. He then slammed the silo into a mountain with the opening against the mountain so the three Wonderbolts couldn't escape. He smirked before he roared in triumph.

"Oh be quiet, you're got nothing to be proud of." Rarity spoke, thee Drake rolled his eyes and made mock-talking gestures with his claw. "You steal everypony's things, terrorize the town, and use me as a weapon against my friends! Which as horrible as it is, I can almost understand because you are a dragon and all,"

She continued sternly as she tore off the remains of her cape with her magic, "But this! This is a crime against fashion!" Spike was then shocked when he noticed her necklace and the fire ruby gem. The unicorn noticed him looking at it as Wind enter the zone.

"Rarity! I have a plan! I will..."

"Oh no. You're not getting this gemstone! (make a big tornado...) This was given to me by my dear friend Spikey-wikey,(might ended your mane life...) the kindest, sweetest, most generous dragon ever. (and then grab you by your tail...) And it's too precious to me to give to a greedy old beast like you! (easy! Sound good?)"

The unicorn doesn't even hear what the lion talking about but stares as soon as she sees him. "Oh, Leo! Thanks, Celestia you here! Please tell me you have a plan to free me?!"

"..." Leo only smiled with questions floating near him by what did she just said. Should he push her? Is this some kinda new bully thing?

Then all of sudden, the dragon body twitched before he instantly returned to his original size. The classic Spike! Rarity then looked and saw Spike hovering in the air with her. "Spike? You're the rampaging dragon?!"

And for some reason, they both were reminded of a certain reality with no way to stay up there before falling to their doom. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

"Oh wow! That's work too!"

"Somepony do something!" said Pinkie in a panic as she saw them through some binoculars.

"Quick, Leo! Save them!" Twilight instantly told the blue lion as he nodded happily before zoomed down.

While the rescuer is on their way, Spike looked at the marshmallow pony. "Rarity? I need to tell you something! Just in case we don't make it. I've always sort of had a crush-"

The unicorn cut him off by placing a gentle hoof on his mouth. She gave him a soft smile as tears left her eyes. It made one fact as clear as day to the little dragon.

I know darling. I know.

Despite the hoof on his mouth, Spike smiled. Knowing that no matter what, Rarity knew the truth. Leo poured down on the speed with his now serious expression as he began to lift his right paws and spin around in the shape of a circle.

Wind Spiral!

As he said, a spiralling gust appears and form around Spike and Rarity and stop them death track from the fall, almost hit the river just in time. He slowed down and gently lowered them to the ground as the two sat inside the cape on the bridge where the rest of their friends were waiting for them.

Fluttershy gasped. "You did it, Leo! I can't believe you did it!"

"Great job, my friend." Soothing Wave said.

"Yeah, I can do even better than that." Rainbow Dash, being herself like usually but got eyes rolled by Applejack. It was also at that moment the water tower came tumbling down the mountain with a large crash. Inside the dragon-made crater were the three Wonderbolts, looking very shaken. However, once they noticed that they were out in the open again, they quickly recomposed themselves, saluted everyone, and then flew off into the distance.

"Goodbye!" Leo waved farewell to the best flyer. Meanwhile, Spike is nowhere to be seen.

"Spike," said Rarity as she found the little dragon as he looked at her, "I just have to tell you how proud I am of you."

"Proud of me?" He sadly said.

"Yes, it was you who stopped...w-well, you, from destroying Ponyville. You're my hero Spikey-wikey!" She then gave the little dragon another kiss on the cheek. Spike just smiled sheepishly as the rest of their friends just gathered around the other side of the bridge. While Leo... He's...

"So~ Rarity!" He zipp toward her and nudged her joyful. "Remember back at the Library of what I said to you~?"

'Oh...' It what this moment when she knew, she bucks up.

Wind Blasts!

BOOM!

"WUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!"

The manipulator launches her straight up in the air with powerful air moves, after the capability reaches its limit, the unicorn fell into the river. Looks like she will fall to it after all...

Spike and everypony stare at the blue lion, speechless. He looks at them confused. "What? I told her I will do it. Deal with it!"
