Chapter 6- Dragon Awakening

It was another normal day in Ponyville as Fluttershy was enjoy her Tuesday tea party with her friends Discord and Twilight. Now and then Discord would make small harmless chaos that they have gotten used to, to get a laugh out of them. Like switching all their horns and wing around randomly, recreating events from made up stories, or pranking any pony who came or walked by the cottage, who mostly ended up being Rainbow Dash.

"We're so glad you could join us today, Twilight." Fluttershy happily said taking a sip of her tea.

"I'm really sorry about that." Twilight apologized as she picked up a cookie with her magic. "I did want to come sooner. But I've been really busy lately."

"Oh no. It's alright, Twilight. We're just happy you were able to come today." Fluttershy reassured her.

Discord nodded popping in a book and monocles. "It's also all so enjoyable to come up with many stories on why you had to miss out on our little get togethers. I've already written three whole volumes." Twilight frowns at him at first but then bursts into laughter along with him and Fluttershy.

"Although...that is...if you don't mind me asking...what were you busy doing?" Fluttershy asked nervously but also curious.

Twilight takes a sip from her tea. "Well, you see, Spike has been curious about the bottle that he got from one our human friends and been trying to get it to work again. So, we've been doing many experiments to see how it works and see if we could get it to react in some way, but we haven't had any luck."

"Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. Is that why Spike didn't come with you?" Fluttershy asks as she picks up a small sandwich.

Twilight nods. "Kind of. He wanted to keep trying. I'm sure he'll be able to eventually." She takes another sip before putting her tea down and blushes a bit. "Other than that, I've-"

"You've still been trying to look for my brother, am I right?" Discord said taking the monocles off. "I'm guessing you've looked through every newspaper article and history book for any signs of him but haven't had any luck." Twilight nods. "I'm even going to bet you tried asking Celestia and yet all she could tell you is that the history containing that knowledge has been lost for hundreds of years, right?" He had asked while looking around the cottage using the monocles.

Twilight eyed him skeptically. "Actually, yes. You even got the part about the princess's message right. Wait. Were you spying on me?" Discord gives her a devilish grin. "DISCORD!!"

"In my defense, you can't really call it spying if I bribed a small dragon into letting me in and keeping my visit a secret from you." He said looking through the monocle towards the ceiling of the house. Twilight was about to say something to him but a glove appeared putting a finger to her mussel. "You might want to save the lecture for later. We have guests."

Fluttershy and Twilight were about to question him but were interrupted when the sounds of crashing were heard outside, along with grunting as a couple branches were heard breaking, and then a thud that leads to Fluttershy's animals all rushing in and running around looking for a place to hide.

"Oh my. Please calm down everyone." Fluttershy says as she began to fly around after her animal friends.

"What was that?" Twilight asked as Fluttershy was trying to calm her animals down.

"Like I said, we have guests." Discord said smiling as he flew out the door.

"Wait! Discord! What do you mean by-" Twilight ran out after him but stops when she sees two familiar looking ponies piled on top of each other next a tree in front of the cottage. "Connor? Reiji? Is that you?"

Connor deadpan at herl. "Geez, I wonder how many other ponies look like us with the exact same marks?" He said sarcastically while trying to pry off branches off his horn.

"Don't we have doubles here in Equestria?" Reiji pointed out while wobbling around seeing stars.

Connor stops to slap a hoof to his face. "That's right. My bad. Sorry about the attitude, Twilight."

"It's okay. Though what are you two doing here?" Twilight asked while using magic to get the branches off his horn.

"We'd like to know the answer to that too." Connor said rubbing his horn with an annoyed look while Reiji shook his head recovering. "Having a horn is really annoying."

"Twilight, Twilight, Twilight!" Everyone turns looking to see Spike run up the road holding a glowing object. "I don't know if I did something wrong, but the dragon bottle started glowing all of a sudden. Do you thi-" Spike stops noticing the two. "Is that Connor and Reiji?"

Reiji gets up looking around. "Where's Emerald?"

"I'm right here." They looked up into the sky as the shadow of a dragon overshadows them, making everyone's jaws hang, except for Discord.

Landing in front of them is a full-grown purple scaled dragon with a short mouth and emerald, green spike fins, with the ones around the head acting like hair from how long they were going down one side of her head. Twilight and Fluttershy thought she was most beautiful dragon they had ever seen with how her scales shine like gems, that Fluttershy even forgot about her fear.

Except for Discord, everyone was surprised by one obvious thing, the resemblance she and Spike shared. They look back and forth between the two as Spike is at a loss for words while Emerald was having a hard time looking him in the eyes.

"H-Hi, Spike. It's good to see you again." Emerald says while trying to make a smile. Spike just stares at her for a few moments before turning and running back towards Ponyville. "Wait! Spike!" She becomes cover in fire that jumps up landing in front of Spike and disappears to reveal her standing on two legs now being the same height as Princess Luna. "Please wait, Spike. I can explain."

"Explain what?" Spike shouted upset. "Explain why we look alike? If so, are we related? Emerald, who are you exactly?"

She stays silent for a few seconds before taking a deep breath to ready herself. "I know what you might be thinking but I'm sorry. I'm not your mother. But...I am her sister, your aunt."

While Twilight and Fluttershy's jaws drop shocked by the news, Discord conjures himself up a lawn chair to relax on as he watched what he deemed a show with popcorn. The guys give him a disapproving look shaking their heads. They look to Spike wondering how he's taking the news, only to see him with an upset look.

Emerald saddens seeing Spike's expression but isn't surprised knowing why he's upset with her. She looks away from him as she remembers the cause of his anger. It had happened when she was helping Spike regain some of his aura during the events of the Fall Formal.

Flash Back

While Emerald was looking through drawers in the bathroom, Spike as a dog was sitting in the middle of her room facing the bed with his back turned to the door. It was a master bedroom with two big windows on the left side of the bed with the bathroom being to the right. A five drawered dresser was against the wall with the windows while the rest of the room has shelves going all around the room, along with a full length mirror.

Spike looks at the shelves see them all either having different objects, items and pictures lining them. Some said items look like regular thing you could find anywhere like some gems, books, boxes, and what look like toys. The rest of the shelves seemed to have things from different parts of Equestria. He walks over to one said items that was on the lower shelves. It was a medallion with an eye looking dark purple crystal and strange markings on it.

"I'd advise you not to touch that." Emerald called out from the bathroom as Spike reached his paw out towards it but reels it back after being startled. "I found that when I came across an ancient ruin, that seemed to had been Grogar's castle. It's called the Eye of Sins. From what I was able to find out, it was an item that Grogar used to take out what makes others have good in their hearts leaving only darkness that he could use as he pleased."

"Why would you keep something that dangerous sounding?" Spike asked as he backed away from the medallion.

"Trust me when I say, it's better off here than what it could be used for back in Equesria." She shudders rubbing her throat. "If you saw what I saw, you'd want this thing off in another world too. All the- Oh! I found it." Emerald said happily taking out a crystal ball.

Spike walked back to the middle as Emerald sat down with the ball placing it between them. "How are you going to help me with this?" He looked to her curious.

"Where I grew up, it was basic knowledge for us dragons to learn how to use and control our auras." Emerald explains while placing her hands on the ball. "We learn to use it mostly to strengthen our abilities such as our fire breathing, strength, speed, along with other things. What we're doing now is also another way to use aura." The ball begins to glow which she motions for him to place his paws on the ball.

Spike complies as he pays close attention. "By sending aura into gems, you could use them to store aura which could then either be left alone or leave a certain strengthening ability in it. These gems can be stored away in case you need a way to recover your or someone else's strength quickly. Though when you're helping someone restore their aura, it takes a long time to adjust the aura to match someone else's. But you can easily cut that time if you're related to the person or if the two's emotions are synced in some way."

"Wow. I never knew dragons could do something so amazing." Spike looks down feeling sad. "Nopony back in Equestria could help me learn more about dragons. And the dragons I've met only helped me see the bad side of being a dragon. At least that time helped me see who I am on the inside and those I'm proud to call my family."

Spike gets surprised feeling a soft hand gently touch his head. He looks up while not noticing his eye level rise, to see Emerald patting his head with tears filling her eyes. "Miss Emerald, are you okay?"

"I'm sorry. I'm alright." She says drying her eyes. "Seems our emotions synced judging from how part of your aura has been restored. And from the fact you aren't a dog anymore." She laughs from Spike jumping from the surprise and began looking himself over at the mirror .

"It still weirds me out a bit, but I think my human form looks pretty good." In his reflection, he sees Emerald walk up to him from behind.

He confuses her when she sees him begin to look down again. "What's the matter, Spike? If you're worried about how you look, then you have nothing to worry about. You're a handsome young man." He shakes his head. "Then what's wrong? I promise I'll help you any way I can."

"I was just wondering from how we look similar as humans that maybe..." Spike slowly turns to look her in the eyes. "Do you think it's possible that we're related?"

Emerald can only stare at him for a few seconds before looking away. "I'm sorry, Spike. I'm an only child and I've never been with any creature in,,,that way."

He sighs looking down. "I thought so. I guess I'll never know about my parents. Even if I could, they'd most likely be the same as-" Emerald holds up his chin.

"I'm sorry about what you've gone through and the dragons you've met. But just like the ponies, not all dragons are the same as the ones in the Dragon Lands. There are many different kinds out in the world. You just need to know how to find them." She gives him a reassuring smile. "I'm sure one day, you find the answers you're looking for. You'll just have to wait." Emerald lets go of his chin seeing him smile. "Now how about we go make the others some snacks?"

Spike smirks before pointing at himself. "Lucky for you, this number one assistant is great at making snacks and refreshments."

"Great. Then I'll lead you to one of the kitchens, number one assistant." She said as she leads him out the room and walks down the hall. 'I'm sorry, little one. But this is for the best.' Emerald thought to herself as her face filled with guilt while walking in front of him.

Flash Back Ends

"Did you know from the beginning?" Spike asked with an upset tone. Emerald only nods while looking away. "Why? Why'd you lie to me? You knew how much I wanted to find out anything about my family. So, why lie to me?" She stays silent. "Tell me!!"

Emerald sighs sadly. "I...I can't tell you the reason. All I can tell you is that what I did was for the best."

"The best? You thought abandoning me was the best choice? Who gave you the right to do that? Why would my parents allow that? Did...Did they not want me?" Spike's eyes began to tear up.

"Nononono! Of course, they wanted you." Emerald quickly said looking to him. "You were their most precious treasure. They would've searched the whole world, even go to depths of Tartarus just to find you."

"Then, where are they?"

"I...I wish I knew." Emerald answered sadly.

Spike shakes his head, then runs shoving past her with tears rushed down his cheeks.

"Spike, don't-" Twilight was about to chase after him but stops when Reiji holds his hoof out and shakes his head. She sighs turning to Emerald. "Just give him some time. I'm sure he'll-"

"No. It's my own fault this is how things ended up." Emerald said as she watched him run back into town with tears. "I'm so sorry, little one. I'm so sorry." She softly said hating herself for hurting him. "I'm sorry but I need to go. There's someone I need to find." Before they could question her, she shoots into the air covered in fire turning back to her original size and flies over the Everfree Forest.

"Oh. I wonder what's going to happen on the next part." Discord said making Twilight and the guys give him disapproving glares.

[Cue Opening]

Everypony was enjoying and going about their day normally. That is till they walked by Twilight's library, where explosive sound was heard. Somepony's were curious what happened but just ignored it continuing their day figuring it was just another day in the life of Ponyville.

Inside the library, Twilight had been teaching Reiji the basics of magic in the living room when the explosion sound was heard. They quickly turn to the basement's door the moment they heard it and seconds later as they run up to the door, the door is pushed open with Connor having a deadpan look while blowing out smoke.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Twilight asked as she looked him over.

"I was just trying to mix an extra essence into a fullbottle. But it seems I added to much of the essence causing the two to react negatively." Connor cleans himself off with magic in a flash of purple.

Reiji sits raising a brow. "Why are you trying to mix two essences?"

"No real reason. I was just curious to see what happens when it works." He says shrugging his shoulders before tossing a bit up with his magic. The bit disappears in a flash of light with an apple flashing in a second after, that he catches and takes a bite out of. "I do have to admit, Apple family apples sure taste the best."

"I still can't believe it's only been a week and you've already gotten used to using magic as if you've used it all your life. I'm a bit jealous." Twilight gives him a curious look. "How do you make it seem easy for yourself?"

"An experiment." He answered confusing the two. He sighs. "Think of like there's many possibilities to finding an answer, you try finding a way to channel magic that feels comfortable without casting a spell or any magic and then just adjust it from there till the spell doesn't affect you as much." He demonstrates by teleporting himself somewhere and then reappearing with a royal guard's helmet without breaking a sweat. "Or at least that's how I was able to do it."

Reiji taps his chin in thought while Twilight was writing down what he had said. "I wonder if that could work for me with the unicorn medal."

"That's amazing, Connor. Imagine what your Equestrian self must be like. I wouldn't be surprised if they were a top student at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns." Connor scoffs in a displeased tone. "Um...Did I say something wrong?"

Reiji sighs. "He's been displeased with the thought of a school only for unicorns ever since he found out about it."

Twilight looks at Connor questionably. "Why?"

"I just don't like it when someone only focuses on one thing." He answered while bringing out his phone to look over some data. "You all believe every creature has magic and yet you haven't looked into the possibility of other creatures being able to use magic in a unique way. An example would be Em-"

Connor stopped looking around. Ever since the Spike found out Emerald's lie, he had surprisingly been hanging around the CMC everyday, while Emerald had stayed in the Everfree Forest not having come by once.

The rest of the girls had gone to them looking for answers after they saw Spike run all the way to the library crying while ignoring them when they called out to him. After explaining to them and letting Spike have some time to calm down, they tried talking him into giving Emerald another chance to explain herself but refused. Discord even made him a room so he could shut a door in their face and locked himself inside of.

"Don't worry. Spike isn't here. He left out to meet up with the CMC." Twilight said assuring him.

"Again?" Connar asked. "That's his sixth time hanging out with them. Didn't you say he usually helps around here or goes over to Rarity's boutique?"

Twilight nods. "I think he's doing it to avoid me and the girls."

"I guess that's a smart way for him to avoid talking and hearing about Emerald." Reiji said tapping his chin.

She sighs. "I should start helping everypony get ready for the Summer Sun Celebration. Spike is usually around to help but that doesn't seem like a choice this time. Do you two want to come along and help out with the celebration?"

"I'd be happy to help." Reiji happily volunteered. "It'd be neat to see what celebrations are like here in Equestria."

Connor shakes his head. "Sorry but count me out. I want to finish these bottles before the celebration starts. Because I know as soon as it does, Pinkie is going to drag me there." He turns and walks back down into the basement.

"Okay. Good luck on." Twilight shouted out to him from the top of the steps. "Let's get going then, Reiji." He nods agreeing and turn to leave the house with her.

Connor walks over to a table with a machine that has his dragon bottle connected to it sending essence down into three different empty containers with an emerald, ruby and sapphire under them. He makes adjustments, starts it making it the gems send essence in with the dragon essence, they begin mixing into a swirl. Connor watches it for a second before he walks over to a table with two of the items he was working on back at the cafe with tools.

The two items seemed to be more completed now. On seemed to have a red and black motorcycle frame-like design, along with a throttle handle on the left side and a silver shark tooth look for the saw disc with a dark blue transparent edge. The second is a silver knuckle weapon with a dragon head mold.

"Glad this world's Discord was able to help me bring these here. It made dealing with being here for a week bearable." He said to himself while picking up the knuckle weapon. "Maybe this can cheer up Spike if I can finish it."

Spike and the CMC were walking through the forest making sure to keep close to each other.

"You know, you three didn't have to come with me, right?" He says looking back to them while still walking.

"And leave a friend ta wonder these woods alone tryin' ta find their aunt? Not a chance, Spike." Apple Bloom states shaking her head. "As yer friends, we have yer back. THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS ARE AT YOUR SERVICE!!" The CMC shouted the last part together making Spike smile.

"Plus, this is a chance to meet a friendly full-grown dragon and see what they can do." Scootaloo looks up daydreaming. "Do you think she'd be willing to let us have a ride on her back?"

Sweetie Belle trotted up next to Spike. "Is she really as beautiful as Fluttershy says she is? Me and Rarity had been curious about what she looks like ever since we heard about her."

"Yeah. Even in the other world she looked really pretty." Spike said with a sad smile. "I really hope seeing what she's doing out here will give me an answer of some kind. I just want to know why she thought leaving me was for the best."

Apple Bloom comes up to his right. "I'm sure yah'll find something out. And if not, we'll all help yah convince her inta tellin' yah what happened."

"Though how are we supposed to find her out here? The Everfree is huge. It'd take us forever to search the whole place for her." Scootaloo said looking around unsure.

"I think I have something that can help." Spike said stopping to look through his bag.

The girls stop with curious looks wonder what he's looking for and a second later, he pulls out a gold lock. The girl stare at the padlock before looking at him confused.

"Um...Is you head okay, Spike?" Sweetie Belle asks putting a hoof to his head. "You don't seem to have a fever."

Spike pushes her hoof away giving her a deadpan look. "I'm fine. This is just something our friend Connor made for me after the Rainbow Dash in his world gave him the idea for it."

"Okay. Then how's a lock is supposed to help us?" Scootaloo asked eyeing the lock.

"He said it's supposed to be a type of assistant. If I remember correctly, he said to use my bottle." He said while taking out the dragon fullbottle. He shakes the bottle, twists the top and inserts it into the keyhole that's under it making a charge sound as the dragon bottle charged it. "Looks like it's working."

It unlocks with the shackle of the lock unfolds along with half of the padlock into a tail with small feet coming out from the bottom after taking out the bottle and the other half unfolds into a neck with a small head shooting out. It now has the appearance of a Chinese dragon with the parts that unfolded being the same blue as the bottle.

The group look at it amazed as it lets out a roar hovering in the air and then flying around them with blue flames coming out its feet.

"Now that's awesome! You think that friend of yours could give us little guys like thing. Woah!" Scootaloo jumps back from it puffing out small flames at her. "Hey, what's the big deal?"

"Ah think it didn't like that yah called it a thing." Apple Bloom said guessing.

Sweetie nods. "True. It probably wants a name. You should give it one, Spike."

Spike taps his chin thinking. "How about...Ryuga?" Ryuga roars agreeing. "Okay then. Ryuga it is. Then Ryuga, can you help us find my aunt?" Ryuga's eyes glowed as it looked around and then roars flying to their left. "Come on. Looks like he found something. Come on." The girls nod as they all run following Ryuga.

"So, why'd yah name him Ryuga?" Apple Bloom asked as they ran.

"I just remembered it from a book I read once that came from a different land. I think it means dragon or something relating to dragon." He shrugs telling her as they continued following.

Twilight, Mr. and Mrs. Cake had their jaws hanging as they watched a group of Reiji's working alongside Pinkie baking for the festival in groups. Each group working on something different.

"You're really amazing, Reiji. I never knew pegusas could use magic to make a lot of yourselves." Pinkie said as she baked. "I did that once too with a magic pond to have fun with everyone. I made so many of my selves that it got to a point we weren't sure which me was the real me and had to play a game at staring at paint to dry to find out which me was me and send the other me's back with Twilight using a spell."

"Cool. I'm just using one of my medal combo's abilities as a magical ability." Reiji explains. "Turns out my magic can use them as long as I have one of the medals needed of the combo. The crocodile medal is the one that helped me figure that out. Lucky for us, my clones can just either disappear after a while or merge back into me. So, we don't need to worry about them."

"You really found yourself an interesting friend here, Twilight.

Twilight chuckles. "Yeah. He and some others really helped me out when I needed it the most." She clears her throat to get Reiji's attention. "Well, I guess I since you have this covered, I'll go check to see how everything else is going."

"Really? Well, if you need help, I could have one of my copies go with you."

"No. That's alright. I'll be fine. When you're done, just meet me at Town Hall. See you two later." Twilight says as she leaves out to the door. "Bye Pinkie. Bye Mr. and Mrs. Cake."

As they say bye to her, Reiji having looked out the window makes a confused look thinking he saw something move in an ally across the road. He stares at it for a few seconds before shrugging and continuing to help bake.

Spike and the CMC continued to follow Ryuga through the woods, panting from having followed him for a long while now.

"Are we...sure Ryuga knows...where he's going." Scootaloo asking between breaths.

He shrugs. "How am I...supposed to know? This...is my first time...using him."

"Guys, look." Sweetie says making them look ahead to see Ryuga stopped. "Do you think he found her?"

"Only one way ta find out." Apple Bloom said as they caught up.

They end up scaring themselves half to death when they stop at last second in front of a ledge. They take a minute to recover from the scare and regain their breath before their about to yell at Ryuga.

"Hey, you!" The loud, scary voice startled them to duck down. "Get back to work." They peek down the ledge to see a black and red kaiju bat with a gold mask and necklace, its head has spiky hair. It was sitting on steps that led up to the ledge.

It was yelling at black human shaped creatures with small bat wings, a gold tail shape going across its chest, round gold and red eyes, and a red belt with a buckle that's round with bats wings, along with a blade hanging from the side.

"We must be done before the plan begins." A second kaiju shouted. Its a white and light blue icicle kaiju with a sabretooth skull face, ice shaped ribs, and big icicle-like claws.

The four reel themselves back. "We have to get out of here and let Reiji and Connor know about this." Spike whispered as they backed away a bit.

"Spike, do yah know what that thing is?" Apple Bloom asked.

He nods. "Kinda. All you need to know is that they're dangerous and only those two can deal with it."

"But they were talking about a plan starting soon, right?" Sweetie brought up. "What if they're planning to attack Ponyville."

"All the more reason to go and warn them." Spike turns to leave.

Scootaloo shakes her head. "No. We should hear what they're planning first before we go." She says moving back towards ledge.

"Scootaloo, no." Apple Bloom and Spike warn.

As she got to the ledge, a piece of it breaks falling. "Oops." The piece lands near the kaiju, catching all their attention looking at the piece and then up to her. "Actually, running sounds good. But we should run there!" They all run after she shouts the last part.

"Imps, after them!" The bat-like kaiju shouted to the black creature run up the steps to go chase after them. "Maybe you should go as well, Hyogakki. Never know how the Imps might fail."

Hyogakki scoffs. "Against rodents? You're thinking small of me, Vampaira." Hyogakki hits the wall next to itself.

"One of us should go and make sure those rodents meet their end before they can warn anyone. While the other stays here to absorb the trees power. And last I checked, I'm the only one who can absorb energy." Vampaira stated pointing at itself. Hyogakki growls before leaving up the steps. "That's what I thought."

Spike and the girls run as fast as their legs could take them with Ryuga flying next to them. Spike looks a bit back behind them to see the Imps running not that far behind them.

He looks to Ryuga. "Ryuga, go get Connor. Let him know we're in trouble. Ryuga nods before flying off over the trees back to Ponyville.

Spike thought they'd be able to outrun them or buy enough time for Connor to show up if they kept up their pace. That was till they stopped seeing another group of different humanoid kaiju coming up in front of them.

These creatures were gray with wavey pink lines across their bodies, a black belt with a silver buckle, gold around their ankle and wrists, purple round eyes and small horns. They run towards them carrying spiked clubs.

"There's more of these things?!" Scootaloo shouted.

"Quick. Let's go that way." Apple Bloom runs to the left with the others following her.

They keep running with the grunts still following a bit far behind after they bumped into each other and squabbled a bit before resuming chasing them.

"Oh no!" Sweetie shouts.

They came to a stop in front of steep mountain. They look for another spot to run but find only a stone wall on both their sides, leaving them cornered.

"Let's turn back!" Scootaloo turns around to run but stops seeing the grunts having caught up and begin to surround them.

Spike places himself in front of them after taking out the dragon bottle. "Stay behind me." He said while tightening his grip on the bottle.

"Spike, no!" Apple Bloom said full of concern.

Right as the grunts run at them, something comes running out of the woods at an incredible speed as it attacks the grunts looking like a silver streak making sparks fly off their chest and backs. Within a few seconds, the group see grunts all explode after falling to the floor.

"Are all of you alright?" They jump being startled by a male voice next to them. They look next to them to find a wolf that's bit bigger than an average wolf. He looks like Negi, but his fur is silver instead of gray, doesn't have the scarf and has a scar going down his right eye. "Good thing I was close by when I heard the commotion. What are you- Hey, you're Emerald's nephew, right?" He said taking a closer look at him.

Spike and the girls back up a bit. "Um...Yes. Emerald is my aunt. My name is Spike. But who are you?"

The wolf raises his head. "Oh, that's right. You wouldn't know me since we've never actually met. Truthfully, I knew you as an egg." He said surprising the group with Spike then taking a step forward.

"Y-You knew me as an egg?" The wolf nods at his question.

"My name is Zero." Zero said as he looked around. "We can talk later. We should leave before more of those things show up. Come on. I give you a lift back to Ponyville. Though we'll have to take the long way around to avoid those things." He says lowering himself. The group look at each other for a second before climbing onto his back. "Hold on tight, everyone."

Zero then proceeds to easily running up the steep mountain and reaches the top in 10 seconds.

Mr. and Mrs. Cake were at work serving customers while Reiji and Pinkie were finishing up their work by baking a couple of cupcakes. To not waist strength, he had gotten rid of his clones. He puts mittens on his wings, opens the oven and pulls out a tray of cupcakes.

As he turned with the tray, he bumps into Pinkie making the both of them fall over. While Reiji hits the floor, Pinkie's mane bounces her back to her hooves with a black object falling out of it and catches the tray with a mitten that she was already wearing. He looks back up to her surprised.

"How'd you-"

"With my Pinkie Sense." She answered before he could finish asking. "It makes me feel different things depending on what it senses. Like my twitchy tail means that stuff is going to start falling. Or when my back feels itchy, it means it's my lucky day. Or also"

Reiji was paying attention full of interest till right then when he notices the black object, taking his full attention. The object looks like a case holder of sorts with light blue lines at the top and bottom on opposite corners going to the middle to meet at where three circles are at. Two of the circles had the lines going through them to lead to the middle circle with the two circles also being covered a bit by three rings around the middle one. Reiji picks it up recognizing it as OOO's O Medal Holder.

He opens it to find a couple medals. Inside it were the hawk, tiger and grasshopper medals he already has along with other colored ones which he recognizes as the condor, cheetah, stag beetle, rhino, eel, turtle, kangaroo, centipede, bee and ant. He also found one that was new. It's a medal with a transparent brown wood color with the image of an ostrich.

Reiji looks up at Pinkie confused. "Pinkie, where'd you get this?" He asked as she was still talking.

Pinkie stops looking at the holder. "Oh. That?" Reiji nods. "While we were giving the Equestria Games inspector a tour of the Crystal Empire, a pony I've never met or seen before gave it to me. They said that the rest of the medals were safer with me so they can guard the others while acting as bait. I'm not sure what they meant by that. But I took it gladly and gave him a present in return."

"Do you remember what this pony looked like?" Reiji curious on who this pony was that they knew about the medals. He already had a guess on who was after this pony for the medals.

Connor was working on the circuits and wires of the knuckle using magic to hold the tools. His attention gets drawn from the knuckle to the device with the three bottles.

He sets his tools down as he gets up to walk over to the machine. Connor takes the bottles off the machine to look them over. All three have a dragon image but with different looks and colors, along with the gray part being a silver color. First was a roaring ruby dragon, the second is a sapphire dragon going into a loop around a speed meter and the last is an emerald dragon moving in a twisting motion.

"Interesting. Now the question is, what do they do?" Connor was in thought till the sound of something breaking is heard upstairs. "What was that?" He asks himself before he began to head up.

Spike and the CMC were riding on Zero as he ran quickly through the forest.

"Wow. You're almost as fast as Rainbow Dash." Scootaloo said amazed.

"She's that famous pegusas who leaves a rainbow trail, right?" They nod. "Well, it is true that she's faster by natural speed. But I could enhance my speed if I wanted to with my magic. I just don't want any of you to get hurt from the force of the speed."

"Really? How fast can you go?" Sweetie asked curious.

Zero chuckle. "I doubt you'd believe me even if I told you. We should be getting close to Ponyville soon."

"Um...Mr. Zero, can yah tell us how yah knew Spike when he was an egg?" Apple Bloom asked reminding her friends of that.

Spike being at the front of the group looks down at Zero's head. "That's true. How did you know me as an egg? Does that mean you know why my aunt Emerald left me?" His questions make Zero sighs sadly.

"So. you found out. Not surprising considering who you're related to. And don't ask me about that." Zero said stopping them from asking. "That question is for your aunt to answer. As for wanting to know why she left you with the ponies, do you really want to know?"

"More than anything." Hearing Spike say this makes him slow down.

Zero stops on top of a hill. "I can't tell you how I know all this. So, please bare with me. Do you any of you have or know what it's like to be close to a sibling." They all nod. "That's how your mother and aunt were. They were always close and cherished what the other treasured equally. So believe me when I say both your parents and her loved you very much."

Spike jumps off and gets in front of him. "Then, why'd they give my egg to her? Why did she leave me with the ponies instead of keeping me with her? Please, tell me."

Zero scratches his head with his paw for a second before lowering himself to be close to Spike's eye level.

"Your parents gave your egg to your aunt to keep you safe. A dragon that wanted to destroy your parents was after anything close to them. So, they gave your egg to her to run away with while they faced off against it. After that, they never were seen or heard of again."

"Does that mean..." Apple Bloom asked afraid along with the others to know the answer.

Zero shakes his head. "No. Dragons have an ability to know when a loved one has passed. That's why you never felt they were completely gone. Am I right, Spike?" Spike nods. "Your aunt feels that too. That's why she's been spending the last 500 years looking for them. Though as for why she left you, that's because-" Zero stops standing back up with an ear raised.

"What's wrong." Spike asked worried.

He looks off into the distance to their left before looking back to them. "Someone I know is in trouble. I have to go." He's about to leave but sees Spike's sad face. "I can tell you're upset by her choice and want answers. I can't tell you what you should feel but you should at least know that...the choice she made was the hardest thing she ever had to make in her whole life. Never doubt that." He gently shoves them towards the direction of Ponyville. "Now hurry back to town. Warn them of the danger that's here."

Zero runs off after saying that. They see him running for a second till he races off into the distance as a silver streak disappearing in the blink of an eye. The CMC turn and leave running but Apple bloom stops seeing Spike still looking towards the distance.

"Come on, Spike. We have ta go." Spike sigh before turning to run with them. "At least yah know she left fer a good reason." Spike looks down sadly hearing her say that.

"I know. I...I just want to know why she couldn't tell me herself if she had that reason."

Apple Bloom looks at him with concern. "Maybe- Kyaaahhh!!"

"Apple Bloom!" Spike along with the other girls stopped shouting hearing Apple Bloom scream and see an Imp holding her up by her tail. He takes out the dragon bottle and runs up to it. "Let her go!"

Sweetie gasps. "Spike, look out!"

Spike quickly looks to her and then up to see two Imps coming down above him. He freezes in fear unsure of what to do. As they're about to get him, a big stream of fire flies over the Imp holding Apple Bloom hitting and destroying the ones over him. The Imp feeling the ground shake turns only to be grabbed by Emerald who easily takes Apple Bloom and roars at it before tossing the grunt over the woods.

"Are you alright, little one?" She asks Apple Bloom as she held in the palm of her claw. Though all she could manage was a nod from losing her words from both being amazed by her and awe struck by her beauty. "That's good to hear." As she set her down, she turns to look to Spike. "Spike, what are you little ones doing out here? Do you know what things are out here? It's dangerous and you all could've-"

"Why would you care?" Spike shouted upset interrupting her lecturing. The CMC wanted to speak but felt like they should let them vent. "You didn't leave a note. You didn't come to visit or check up on me."

"I was busy looking for your parents. I didn't want to interrupt your peaceful life till I found or knew what happened to them"

"Yeah. Running a store was so much more important than talking to me. You didn't even want me to know we're related. I'm pretty sure that speaks for how much you and my parents cared."

Emerald slams her hands on to the ground growling. "You can say all you want about me, Spike. But don't you ever dare say that about your parents. Not after what they gave up protecting you."

"And what would that be exactly?"

"To watch you grow." Hearing this takes the fight out Spike. Especially from the tears that fell from her eyes as she spoke. "It tore them up so much just handing your egg over to me. Just that hurt them so much because they knew the moment you hatched; they'd be missing every first for you. You first time crawling, walking, talking, breathing fire, along with so much more."

"It hurt yah a lot as well, didn' it?" Apple Bloom speaks up interjecting her opinion. Along with getting their attentions. "Yer friend told us that you and yer sister cherished each other's treasures equally. Meanin' it hurt yah just as much."

Emerald and Spike look back to each other with Emerald sighing seeing Spike look down sadly. "Look, Spike. I didn't-" Emerald lets out a shriek of pain from blue blast hitting her back.

"Emerald!" Spike and the CMC shouted. Emerald begins to freeze till her eyes glowed with her body heating up to melt the ice. They look to the direction the lasers came from to see Hyogakki walking towards them.

"And here I thought killing you rodents would be a waste of time. But looks like I'll be able to enjoy this now."

Emerald looks at her back for any damage before looking to the kids. "Spike, I'll distract this kaiju. You and the others run back to town."

They shake their heads. "We can't just leave you to face that thing alone." Spike runs next to her tightening his grip on the bottle. "I'll help you."

"Us too." The CMC all shout lining up next to Spike.

Hyogakki swung its claw, sending a cold freezing air over them to create a huge wall of ice behind them.

"No one is leaving. You'll all be dead by the time I'm done with you."

As the kaiju spoke, blue energy built up in its claws and then fires the same blast towards them that hit Emerald. Emerald reacts quickly taking a deep breath with her eyes glowing, then breathes out crimson fire that creates heat wave around it as it went towards the blast and canceled each other out. Before they could launch another attack they stop hearing a loud noise with everyone looking back towards the direction of the cave to see a black shining object fly into the sky.

"What is that?" Sweetie asks.

Everyone turns back to Hyogakki when they hear it chuckle at the question.

"It's our present to this world."

Reiji and Pinkie are walking through town on their way to Town Hall with the pastries that they had baked in a wagon. While they were walking Pinkie was tell him the short version of the adventures and events that her and her friends had helped with or been in.

"And then Twilight reappeared in a flash as an alicorn. After that we celebrated the birth of Princess Twilight at Canterlot."

Reiji chuckles. "That sounds amazing. Though now it's a good thing Connor decided to stick back at the library. If you told him that story, he would be having a field day with Princess Celestia on lecturing her how testing someone on completing someone else's work, or spell in this case, is a poor way of seeing if someone is worthy."

"Wait! Connor has just been at the library this whole time? I'll go get him to help out."

"Pinkie, wait." He had said too late as she dashed off at an unbelievable speed leaving pink smoke in her shape that wave him bye and dashed off at the same speed after her. "And yet they say Discord is the strange one." He chuckles at the end as he continues walking.

"Kyaaahhh!!" Reiji stops from hearing ponies screaming and panicking, then turns to look behind himself as they run past him to see the gray grunts attacking the town.

"What the- Sentai kaiju? What are they doing here?" Not wasting anytime, his three colored streak changed to yellow as he unhooked himself from the wagon and ran towards the grunts as he slashed them with the claws appearing at the end of his wings at a fast speed, going in a zig zag pattern to destroy them before they damaged anything. "Just to be clear, are you from the Super Sentai or Power Ranger world?" He asked stopping next to one and is answered with it trying to hit him with its club. "Geez. Sorry I asked." He resumes destroying them.

"Hey, Reiji!" He hears stopping as Rainbow lands next to him. "What the hay is going on here? What are those thing?"

"All I can tell you is that their kaiju from another world called Orgettes. As for why they're here, I'm lost just as much as you are."

"Then lets teach these creeps what happens when they mess with Ponyville." Rainbow takes off towards the grunts. She punches some with her hooves while dodging the clubs of the others as she flew by them.

Reiji was about to join but stops hearing a loud noise. "Huh?" He looks off towards the Everfree to see the black object far off in the distance. "Looks like the real trouble is about to begin."

Connor comes out of the basement to see the house being torn apart by Orgettes looking to be in search of something but stop when they notice him.

"Okay. I know for sure you guys aren't part of this world. Woah!" He begins to dodge as they try attacking him with their clubs. "You fella really need to talk things out. Since I don't want to damage anything, magic it is."

Connor just stands still as the Orgettes swing their weapons at him but stop as he grabs and lifts them with his magic. "My turn," He said as he sends them flying into each other. They keep throwing themselves at him as he just keeps easily throwing them to the side. But then he notices that they start retreating. "Why are they running?"

"HELP!" He hears what sounds like scream out. He looks out the window to see her and Applejack being carried away by the grunts as they tried struggling. Along with one leaving with a book.

"It's because they got what they wanted." He hits his head with a hoof before teleporting outside. He was about to use his magic to grab the girls but stops hearing the same loud noise and turning to see the object. "That can't be good."

Vampaira walks into the cave till it came up to where a crystal looking tree stood in the middle with a six-pointed star shape at the center of it, along with marks of a sun and moon on the trunk. Small round gem objects were hanging from the branches of the tree with five of the branches having five empty gem shaped spots.

Imps were standing next to the tree, throwing themselves at it which resulted in the being destroy by the tree releasing a flash of light. Vampaira was watching as this continued and chuckled seeing the light becoming weaker.

"Enough!" It shouted making the Imps stop. "The Tree of Harmony is finally weak enough for me to absorb the rest of its energy."

Vampaira holds its hand in front of its face before thrusting it forward, firing out a red light that hits the tree and begins to absorb the energy and change it into a small shard of a crystal.

"What?! Even weakened, it still has enough strength to resist my power. Seems we'll have to go with plan B. Meaning all of you are needed to feed the plunderseeds." Vampaira says turning to the Imps and using its ability to steal their power making a lot of crystals that it then throws half of them onto the ground. The crystals glow disappearing as the ground glows absorbing the energy which it then begins to shake. "Now to make sure no magic user interferes. Especially the Lord of Chaos."

The Kaiju brings out a black crystal orb that he sends the rest of the crystals energies into. It comes to life glowing as it then shoots straight up into the sky. After reaching a high altitude, the orb creates a giant dark purple spell circle with a pentagram shape on the inside of it. Three of the pentagrams corners in a triangle pattern had circles at the end of them going a bit through the ring of spell circle with two pointed ends between each of the three.

A purple veil followed the ring of the spell as it began to stretch over the sky of the forest at a fast speed. It soon reaches the spot Emerald and the kids are at. Emerald quickly places herself over the kids as the veil got closer.

The veil does nothing as it passes through Hyogakki. Though as it went through the others, their bodies began to glow making the CMC fill with fear. In the flash of light they had been changed into their human counter parts which makes the girls scream.

"Emerald, What's going on?" Spike asked confused as they all look themselves over.

"I'm not sure. I've never seen a spell circle like that. Uh!" Emerald reacts quickly holding her hands foreward to create a wall of fire that shields them from Hyogakki's freezing wind.

The kaiju chuckles "Interesting. Nothing around should know how to use magic in that form,"

"Let's just say I've been in a situation like this." Emerald said as her eyes and hands glowed with magic.

"Then lets see what you can do." Hyogakki shouts charging towards them.

Not wanting to involve them, Emerald creates a ring of fire around the kids before doing the same running towards the kaiju. "Emerald!" The kids shouted with worry.

She jumps over the kaiju as it swung its claws at her. While above it, she holds out her left hand to shoot a stream of fire at it while holding her right arm back to build up fire around her fist. Hyogakki turns around swiping its left claw to block the fire with a wall of freezing air. Emerald swung her fist at it as soon as she landed but all the kaiju does is raises and blocks the fist with its right claw.

"How disappointing." It said as it shoved her off and made her jump back by shooting blue lasers from its claws. "You'll need something stronger than that to make me feel anything at all." Hyogakki then continues to make her run around by shooting lasers at her which she also fires streams of fire each chance she gets.

Reiji saw the spell circle form in the distance. "First Sentai grunts and now a spell circle from Magiranger? Molten and his group probably aren't a part of this if I had to guess." Discord and Fluttershy appear popping in next to him. "Nice to see you guys are okay."

"Oh my. This is horrible." Fluttershy said looking around with fear in her eyes before focusing back on Reiji. "W-We were just e-enjoying the sun with my animal friends."

Discord nods agreeing. "But then it was ruined with all the screaming that was happening here. From how things are going, you'd almost think it was my work, minus the fun though."

"We don't think, Dipcord. We know this mess has your name written all over it." Rainbow says landing in front of them with Rarity and Twilight coming running up to them as well. "So, I suggest you undo this who mess fast before you get sent back to the garden."

"Actually Rainbow-" Reiji was speaking till Discord steps in front of him.

"I honestly had nothing to do with this, Rainbow Dash." He pops a scout uniform onto himself. "Scouts honor."

"I can vouch-"

Rarity scoffs interrupting Reiji. "You expect us to believe these hideous things didn't come from your magic."

"Actually about that-"

"Exactly!" Rainbow shouts agreeing, cutting him off again. He slaps a hoof to his face with Fluttershy patting his back knowing how it feels. "Now change every-" The veil passed through them that second and in a flash of light everypony and draconequus was turned into human. "What? Woah!" She along with others fall over not being used to being on two legs. "W-What's going on? What happened to us? Where are my wings?"

Twilight stands looking herself over. "We're human. B-But how?"

"Is this how our otherselves look like?" Fluttershy asked looking to Twilight, who nods answering.

"Kyaaahhhhh!!" Rarity along with many other ponies/people screamed and began to panic even more than before as they tried standing or walking. "My hooves. My tail. My..." She gasped as she felt nothing on her head with her knuckle. "MY HORN!! Discord, this is just too cruel!"

Discord groans. "This isn't me. Why would I include myself in a parnk with you all? None of this is related to me at all." Saying this while crossing his arms, the ground begins to shake as black vines with thorns come shooting out of the ground and begins to slowly cover the whole town. Discord chuckles nervously. "Okay. I'll admit, that one is related to me."

"WHAT?!" All four girls shouted.

"Okay, guys. Let's just all take a second to calm down." Reiji says in a calming voice to get his friends to calm down a bit and listen. "Now let's try to think- Ugh!"

Reiji gets cut off again as he's hit into and breaking a cabbage stand. "No! My cabbages!" The owner of the stand shouts upset. Twilight and the group looked at what seems to be a giant tire that had came ramming into Reiji. It stood still for a second before it the bottom half rotated towards them before changing into a black kaiju.

The kaiju's upper body had the appearance of half a tire with its whole body having tire looking skin with the bottom part of its legs being tires, its face has a red engine appearance with an exhaust pipe on both sides of the face pointing sideways upward, having one eye and two big red horns above the eye with two smaller one at the top of its head.

The kaiju laughs as Rarity screams at its appearance. "That's more like it. I would love it more if you all continued to panic. Now the Element Barers and the Lord of Chaos, you're coming with us. Orgettes, get them back to the cave." It said as the grunts appeared coming out of the ground as gray liquid and began to grab them after having finished forming.

"Hey! Put us down!/Ugh! Get your disgusting claws off me./Let us go!/You fellas should read the script. It's suppose to be Celestia and Luna that are originally captured. I'm going to have a word with the writer later after this." Rainbow, Rarity, Twilight and Discord were shouting with Fluttershy shaking in fear as they were carried off towards the Everfree Forest.

"Now I get to have some fun." The kaiju says as it brings out two tire axes with a red rim, that it charges with pink energy. It throws both axes making them fly around like boomerangs smashing into a couple buildings and stands before returning to it with the people/ponies trying to run or avoid the attack and destruction. The kaiju chuckles at its work. "That's it. Keep screaming that beautiful music." (Sai! Kamakiri! Condor!) "What? Ah!"

The kaiju had turned around hearing a transformation noise and stumbles back after being slashed across the chest. It looks in front of it to see OOO with his mask having a rhino look with a white silver color, red eyes and gem on the forehead. His chest has the images of a rhino, mantis and condor legs with his arms having mantis like blades on his arms being in a light green color. His legs were red with a feather design on the knees with the outward part being longer and gold talon look on the toe and back of the feet.

"What's a sentai doing here?"

"Sentai? In what way do I look like a Sentai?" OOO said before avoiding the axes. He charges up to it as the axes went back to it. Using the mantis blades known as the kamakiriswords, the two clash blades before pushing each other back.

"Try this." It sends energy into the ground under OOO making vines shoot out and wrap around his arms and legs. "I have you now." The kaiju charges it axes while OOO struggles trying to free himself.

OOO braces himself as it throws the attack. (Vortex Finish!) A keyhole appears in front of OOO with s burst of blue flames shooting out to hit and drag the axes back at the kaiju, making sparks fly off it as it gets hit and falls to the floor.

"I'm real happy to see you, Build." He said as Build runs up to him in his keydragon form. He brings out the Vortex Saber and cuts OOO free. "Twilight and the others were taken to the forest."

"They took Pinkie and Applejack too." Build looks around the sky and then to the town still having some Orgettes attacking before going back to the kaiju. "I'm not really sure what's going on with these Sentai kaiju but they definitely don't have anything good planned for Twilight and the others. I have a better chance against Tire Org and keeping everyone safe. You go and help them out."

"Are you sure you can handle them?" Build nods to him. OOO returns the nod. "Then good luck, Build."

OOO lifts his belt back up as he turned running to the forest and switches the rhino and condor medals with hawk and cheetah. (Taka! Kamakiri! Cheetah!) After the medals spun stopping at the right medals, the condor leg image changes to the cheetah as the legs change to have a cheetah like look with the feet having a sneaker look and silver going around the feet. With cheetah OOO runs at a super fast speed being inside the forest in a second.

Build takes a few steps towards the Org but stops from Ryuga flying in front of him. "What are you doing here? Unless-" He looks at the floor for a second before looking back to Ryuga. "Go to the library. There's something there that can help. I'll head over after I'm done here." Ryuga roars before flying off.

"You really have a death wish if you think you can beat us all alone." Tire Org said as Orgettes began gathering in front of it.

"I don't think. I know I can." (Engine Cast; Engines Tank-Firetruck-Jet-Submarine-Rocket Deploy!) As the Engines are summoned, Build throws the rabbit and hedgehog bottles to change them into animal form and then they spread out to attack the Orgettes around the town. "Today I don't have time to play with you clowns." He said as he takes out the bottles and bring out shark and bike.

(Same! Bike! Best Match!) He turns the crank creating the construct with the new armor. (Are You Ready!) "Build up!" (Dokusou hunter! SameBike! Yeah!) Dragon was replaced with a navy blue color armor that has a shark head on the right shoulder, with dorsal fin on the right arm and next to the top left shoulder, with the left visor being shaped as a shark. Lock had been replaced with a scarlet armor with the with Build's original bike's front piece on the left shoulder, with an engine design and black bar line on the scarlet frame on the chest, a wheel attached to the left arm, and the left visor being shaped as throttle handle.

Build's belt summons the new saw weapon he had been working on. (Samethrottler!) Build takes ahold of it with his right hand as the takes a battle stance. "I'll be the one to find the formula to this equation." Build charges foreword with the Orgettes charging at him too.

At the school, Cheerilee and the foals/kids managed to move to the corner of the classroom as Orgettes had smashed their way in and approached them. She puts herself in front of her students as they cried and felt afraid of whats going to happen.

"Please just take me. Their only foals." Tried to beg but was ignored as the ready to attack them.

Before they could attack, the grunts were knocked over by Tank hopping on their heads in rabbit form. Cheerilee and the kids are surprised by this as it lands on a desk in front of them and using its cannon ears, fired and destroyed the grunts.

"Thank you for saving us." Cheerilee thanked the Engine which it replies back with a nod before hopping to the door and motioned with its ears for them to follow. "Come on, kids. I'm sure we'll be safe if we follow it." The kids just nodded and crawled following behind Tank.

Outside of Town Hall, Mayor Mare was doing her best to help everypony/everybody into the building. She had been worried about her town and citizens from the spreading panic and creatures attacking earlier but then was surprised when she started hearing less screaming and panicking, along with seeing the Engines attacking the creatures.

Like seeing Jet flying down shooting at Orgettes that had cornered Lyra and Bon-Bon, which gave them the chance to crawl away. Then sees Mr. and Mrs. Cake coming her way running using their twin's stroller to balance themselves with the grunts chasing behind them. She was about to warn them but then sees firetruck in hedgehog form get in between them, rolls shooting needles at the grunts and destroys them. She was amazed by how these small things were easily taking down the creatures.

Hearing the fighting, she looks to Build fighting the grunts as he slashed through them with his weapon. "What in Tartarus is happening today?"

Tire Org charged its energy as it watched Build. "You're mine now!" It sent the energy into the ground under Build. Build reacts quickly from the shark's ability to sense the vines coming up and cuts them to bits after avoiding them. "What?!"

Build turns to block Orgettes clubs with the tire on his arm, then used his saw to slash through them after shoving them back. "You're gonna have to try better than that." He said looking back to the Org. He then continues fighting and cutting his way through grunts and vines.

Twilight and everyone were being carried down the steps leading to the cave as they were struggling to free themselves. Twilight stops for a moment noticing they're right next to the Castle of the Two Sisters.

"Why would they bring us here?" Twilight questioned looking down to the cave. "Do they want us for something down there?"

"They must be after the Tree of Harmony." Discord said which receives confused looks.

Rainbow and the girls look at each other before looking back at him. "The tree of what?"

Discord looks at them with disbelief. "The Tree of Harmony. The tree from where Celestia got the Elements of Harmony from. Did the princess not tell you about any of this?" They all shake their heads. "Celestia really needs to learn to share important information like this."

"So, our elements came from this tree you're talking about?" Twilight asked.

"Yes. It's a tree that keeps the Everfree Forest in check." Discord answered. "Celestia and Luna aren't sure how it came into existence or why it does what it does, but they know that without the tree, all that is contained in the forest will be able to leave."

Applejack struggles to break free. "Is that why these crazy plants are showin' up in Ponyville?"

Rainbow deadpans and points at Discord. "No. Those are actually his doing from what he said." Rainbow says which upsets Applejack.

"Why yah no good dirty-"

"Hey, in my defense, that was before I was turned to good." Discord cuts in on her. "Plus, I tried to get rid of them but nothing I was doing was working. So, while I tried figuring out how to get rid of them, I kept sending back the magic the plundervines were taking from the tree."

"Why didn't you try asking for help? I'm sure Twilight could've figured it out. She's great with problems like these." Pinkie points out with Applejack, Rainbow and Rarity nodding. "Plus, it'd probably win her some points with your brother." She said making twilight blush while glaring at her.

Discord hangs his head down sadly as they are taken into the cave till Fluttershy pats his back while giving him a reassuring smile. "Discord has never asked anyone for help before. He's been too used to doing things on his own. So, he was afraid and wasn't sure of how to ask for help."

Rarity had been looking at him sternly but it softened by what Fluttershy said. She sighs in defeat before giving him a kind smile. "I guess it's understandable from how you've been on your own. And...I'm terribly sorry for not believing you early, dear." Applejack nods agreeing.

"Ah know a thing or two on not knowin' how ta ask fer help." She says with Rainbow just scoffing.

"You can always ask us for help, Discord." Twilight assures him. "No matter what, we'll always hear you out from any help you might need."

Discord smiles with watery eyes. "Thank you, Twilight. Thank you all." He dries his eyes. They look ahead to see the Tree of Harmony coming into view. "Looks like we're- Hey, watch where you're touching!" Discord and the others began to argue and struggle with Fluttershy whimpering as they were chained to the cave wall and are surrounded by the Orgettes and Imps.

Fluttershy becomes filled with fear from Vampaira have come falling from the ceiling and landed face to face in front of her. "Kyaaaahhhh!!"

"Hey! Leave-" Rainbow was shouting but is backhanded by the kaiju.

"Quiet you pathetic insect. The only reason you still breath is because we have use for you." It turns to the grunts. "Did you bring what we needed?" The Orgette carrying the book walks up and presents it. Vampaira takes the book and finds the Elements of Harmony in it. "Yes. Now we can proceed with the plan."

"I don't know what you have planned but you're wasting your time. The Elements would never work for something like you." Twilight said glaring at the kaiju.

Vampaira laughs wickedly before turning back to face them. "And here I thought you were the smart one of your group. I don't need them to work with me. I just need them to take the rest of the tree's power."

Discord looks at it confused. "I'm pretty sure the Elements would do the opposite and restore the power instead of taking it."

"That would depend." Vampaira said in a sinister voice send chills down their spines.

Pinkie gulps. "D-Depends on w-what?"

"Will the Elements use their power to save the tree or take it's power to save their bearers." It snaps its fingers making the Imps come up with their daggers out.

"And how exactly will this make our Elements choose?" Twilight asked Vampaira, which it answers by moving to the side to show them a spell circle on the ground that the Imps were dropping the Elements onto. "What is that?"

"Unlike your magic, our demon magic can either take or help give back life. So, after we give you each a fatal injury, if the Elements really want to save you, they can use the spell circle to take the tree's energy to restore you all."

The girls gasp while Discord glares at it. "If you dare touch any of my friends, then I'll make you will wish that you had stayed dead in your world."

Vampaira chuckles walking up to Discord before punching his stomach. "DISCORD!!" The girls screamed. "You- You monster." Fluttershy shout with an angry look at Vampaira.

"Then he should be making threats when he has his power to back it up. And now, let's see what the Elements will decide to save." snapping its fingers again, the Imps approach the girls slowly. The girls struggle with fear in their eyes while Discord struggled wanting to help. Right as they went for the stab, a magical purple aura surrounds them and they disappeared in a flash with the Imps only stabbing the cave wall. "What?! Where'd they go?!"

"It worked! Maybe Connor really should be a teacher." Vampaira looks towards the entrance of the cave to see OOO with his helmet in the unicorn form and the group next to him as he spoke to Twilight. "Who knew thinking of it as a melody would work."

Twilight became curious wanting to ask but remembered about the situation they're in. "We'll talk about that later. I think there's someone who's mad at you." OOO looks toward Vampaira and the grunts.

"How can a Sentai be here?" It says confusing everyone and making OOO sigh.

"Senwhat? Who or what is that thing talking about?" Rainbow asked.

"A different type of heroes that fight in teams." He looks to the Kaiju. "Sorry their, Vampaira, but I'm not a Sentai. Though I'm still a hero none the less. So, I suggest you pack up and leave while you can."

Vampaira laughs. "If what you say is true then I've got nothing to fear. Imps! Orgettes! Destroy him!" It snaps its fingers making the grunts charge him.

OOO charges his horn as it glowed purple. "I really doubt that." He fires his magic at the ground and changes it to quick sand making the grunts begin to sink in it. (Medabuster!) OOO's phone announce as it summoned the weapon which OOO takes ahold of and brings out the tatoba combo medals.

(Core-Core-Core Complete!) Tatoba's jingle starts to play as he aimed at the grunts with three big rings appearing in front of it and pulled the trigger. (Tatoba Overcharge!) As the shot goes through the rings, it changes to look like a chimera having the head and wings of a hawk, body of a tiger and back legs of a grasshopper. It goes all the way to the grunts and destroys them all in one explosion.

"And that's how it's- uh!" OOO gets grabbed by Vampaira as it flew by and flies out of the cave.

"OOO!" Twilight shouts with worry as her and the others run out of the cave to see the kaiju fly towards the castle.

"As they say, what goes up must come down." Vampaira flew down letting go of OOO, making him crash through the roof and land in the throne room. The kaiju comes breaking through the wall on the other side of the room landing on the ground. "This place shall be your tomb."

OOO gets up dusting himself off. "We'll see about that. I just hope the princesses won't mind the castle getting a bit more banged up." OOO takes a stance. "Now I shall judge your desire."

Left and right bursts of fire and blue lasers came from the area Emerald and Hyogakki were battling as she was doing her best to avoid the kaiju's attacks by either using a flame shield or the trees while also sending her own streams or balls of fire at it.

The CMC watched as Emerald avoids some of the lasers by jumping up to and moving from tree to tree. They had been watching from the start as the battle seemed even. Though they started getting worried from how Emerald's movements was beginning to slow down, panting a bit.

"Spike's aunt isn't looking so good." Scootaloo said as she and her friends tried standing. "That thing is going to hit her with that ice soon at this rate."

"We have ta help her." Apple Bloom says trying to walk towards Spike, who's trying to force his way through the wall of fire that's keeping them put, but keeps falling over.

Sweetie looks at her hands while having a difficult time standing. "But what can we do? I can't even use my magic like this."

"Well, there has to be a way, right? Spike's aunt is using magic with no trouble." Scootaloo pointed out.

Hearing grunting noises, the CMC look seeing Spike punching the fire with the dragon bottle clenched tightly in his right hand. Spike stops for a second to look frustrated at the fire. He looks at his knuckle seeing his purple skin darken from how it felt like he had been punching a solid wall. Spike resumes punching while ignoring the stinging feeling he was feeling from it.

"Spike, please calm down. Yer gonna hurt yer self if yah don't stop." Apple Bloom full of worry says as she quickened her pace to him.

"I have to help her." Spike answered without turning to her.

"And do what exactly? How do yah plan on helpin her?" Apple Bloom was doing her best to stay balanced. "I'm pretty sure yah don't know any magic like yer aunt."

"I just need to get this stupid bottle to work. Why won't it work. Even, when I have a reason to fight, why won't it-" He had said this while swing the hardest he could at the flames with the bottle not reacting at all. But he stopped the moment he felt what he knew was Apple Bloom holding his arm back. "Would you-"

He was about to shove her off out of frustration and a bit of anger but loses it all the moment he faces her. Even with upset face she's making at him, he could tell that her eyes were full of worry and understanding. He lowers his arm as he relaxes while keeping his eyes on hers. Sweetie stayed quiet watching along with holding and covering Scootaloo's mouth.

Apple Bloom looks down sadly at his hand, being able to tell how bruised up it is along with the bit of blood coming from his knuckle. "I know how yah feel. I feel it every time Applejack leaves somewhere wit Twilight and the others. Even when Big Mac leaves ta deliver pies, I can't help wantin' ta go with them every time ta help out and keep them safe even though I know I there's nothin' I could do." Spike notices the small cuts and scratches on her hands, that she got from rushing over to him, as she opened his hand to look at the bottle. "Granny once told me somethin that she's heard and taught others in the family. She said that you shouldn't only fight just cuz yah have a reason ta. Because that alone will only get ya so far. Maybe that's the reason it hasn't responded. Maybe it wants ta feel more of how yah feel more of yer feeling's ta connect with for it ta work. If yah can do that," She pauses to look back up to him. "then I'm sure it'll answer yah."

Spike keeps his eyes on her for a second before looking down at his hand to stare at the bottle as he closed his hand back into a fist. "Gah!"

"Emerald!" They all shouted after hearing Emerald screamed and see her laying on the ground across from Hyogakki with ice on her waist. She tries to stand back up but could barely find the strength to lift herself.

Hyogakki laughs villainously as it walked slowly towards her. "Seems like you're at the end of your rope, dragon." The kaiju steps on her back before pointing its claw down at her charging it energy. "Be glad you were at least able to make this enjoyable for me."

Spike gets angry for a second but then remembers Apple Bloom's words as he looked at the dragon bottle and closes his eyes and hand on it as he held it against his heart. 'Please help me fight to protect those I care about, those who need help, to help me find the answers I'm looking for, and...to give me the chance to make things right.' Spike spoke in his mind to the bottle.

Spike's eyes shoot open as he reeled his fist back with the bottle beginning to glow, swung it forwards with his fist igniting with blue and green flames, and in one hit destroys the aura field that was hidden in the flames. Without even thinking, he bolts towards Hyogakki while letting the flames around his fist build up.

"What?! Ugh!" Hyogakki barely notices Spike as his fist makes contact with its chest making sparks fly off as it was sent flying back.

"Thanks." Spike spoke to the bottle before turning to his aunt. "Emerald, are you- Woah! huh?" He couldn't turn or move his legs at all making him look down and gets surprised from his legs being frozen. "When did-"

Hyogakki growls as it stood. "You damn little brat. Did you think I'd let the charge to my claw go to waste? Now you'll regret ever having stepped out of that shield." Hyogakki roared angrily swinging its claws sending the freezing blizzard towards.

Spike tries to break the ice with his burning fist, but ice refused to break. He prepares to build up the flames again, though he stops going wide eyed as the wind was about to reach him. "Spike!" The CMC screamed as Spike was swallowed by the blizzard. Apple Bloom falls to her knees as her eyes watered, not wanting to believe her friend was gone.

Hyogakki was chuckling about to laugh but stops seeing a red light. "How'd he-" The girls gasp as the light became clear to show it was Emerald having her body heated up while hold Spike close. "You damn bitch. You just couldn't accept defeat. Fine then." Hyogakki builds up energy before sending it to the clouds making black clouds with spikes come down, surrounding the sky over the two, "Then you can freeze together."

The kaiju sends another freezing wind towards them, though as it reached them, the clouds began unleashing their own blizzards that traps the two in a small freezing storm. Spike looked around as everything around them froze, then shattering the next second. This gives him a clear picture of what would've happened to him if it wasn't for Emerald.

"Emerald, I don't think it's a good idea to stay here. We need to get out of here." She stays silent. "Emerald? Emerald, what's wrong?"

"I was afraid." She said quietly. He wanted to question her about it but stopped when he feels a tear drop lands on his forehead. "I was afraid I wasn't enough."

"If you're talking about when my egg fell in the river, that wasn't your fault. Your friend Zero told us what happened. It's that dragon who attacked you that was to blame." Spike tried reassuring her.

Emerald shakes her head. "That was only part of the reason. That fight only showed me I wasn't strong enough to protect you. What I was afraid of was raising you." Tears ran down her cheek as she spoke. "Between me and your mother, I knew she would make a great parent. As for me, I never saw that as an option for myself. I was just supposed to be your fun, loving aunt. But when your parents had me take your egg, I...I became filled with so much fear and doubt that I was too afraid to hatch you. That's why when Celestia found you, I thought maybe it was a sign saying that I should leave you in a safe place and look for your parents instead."

"I-I'm sorry, Emerald. I didn't-"

Spike is cut off by Emerald holding him closer. "I'm so sorry, Spike. I'm so sorry for leaving you. I never wanted to hurt you. But I am glad you were able to find a great family. Which is why the least I can do is make sure you get back to them."

Hearing that confused him. "What do you-" He pauses as he feels his body warm up. He looks at himself seeing his body glow with the ice on his legs melting. Realizing what's happening he looks to Emerald with her glow fading and ice beginning to cover her bit by bit. "Emerald, what are you doing? You can't expect me to leave you behind. We both have to-"

He had begun to move towards the direction of the girls but stops as Emerald falls flat to the floor the second they moved. When he turns to her, he gasps seeing that her right leg was beginning to freeze. Spike was about to say something till Emerald held a finger to his mouth.

"You have to make it back to them. Back to Twilight." She said with a weak smile as her body was becoming weaker and hard to move as she got colder. "I just wish I could've been a part of it." As her glow faded out, Emerald's eyes close along with her arm slamming to the ground.

"No. No. Emerald, wake up. Please open your eyes." Spike shouted trying to wake her as the ice spreads on her body. He keeps igniting his hand with the dragon bottle's fire to try to warm her, but it keeps getting up out by the freezing wind. "Come on you stupid flame. Stay on. I can't let her die here. I can't lose her. Not after I just found her." As the ice covers her body, Spike looks down at the bottle before holding it to his chest. "Please, someone help me save her."

The dragon fullbottle comes to life shining brightly with the gray changing to purple with green outlining it as it sends a light into the sky, catching everyone attention as it opens a dimensional hole with a burning object coming out and towards the ground. (Volcanic Knuckle!) Was heard as the object hit the ground with a burning dragon made of magma shooting out of it. The dragon got rid of the storm and breaking through the clouds in seconds before going right at Hyogakki.

"What the hell!" It shouts as it tries blocking the dragon but gets dragged through some trees.

Spike was left speechless as a shadowy figure of a what looks like a Rider is seen through flames standing in front of him with their back turned to him. Spike then gets surprised seeing the heat of the Rider's fire was melting the ice completely off Emerald. The moment he looks back, the Rider turns to face him with only his orange visor able to be seen.

"I heard your call, kid. This is all I can do with the limited time I have here. But I will leave you with a chance to fight back." A Build Driver along with a couple objects is thrown out of the flames with Spike quickly catching the driver but the objects landing next to Emerald. "It's up to you to take it from here. You'll have to be the one to protect what you care about, Kamen Rider Cross-Z"

With that said the Rider flies back up into the hole as it closed. Spike looks at the driver for a second before looking towards Hyogakki as it recovered standing back up. Spike makes a determined look at the belt before putting it on.

"But how can I use this with only one bottle?" He questions looking down at the belt till he looks up hearing a roar to see a small dragon like Ryuga but more bulky looking, flying over him. It was mostly black with gold coloring on its head, neck, tail and a bit on its body with some blue covering small parts of the head and body. This is the Cross-Z Dragon. It folds its head and tail up to its body before dropping down to Spike. He looks at it confused for a second before noticing the single bottle slot at the top. "I hope I'm ready for this." He said to himself as he looked towards Hyogakki.

He shakes the bottle before twisting the top and putting it into the Cross-z Dragon. (Wake Up! Cross-Z Dragon!) It declared having been put into the belt making a different stand-by jingle play with the dragon's roar. Spike turns the crank making the same constructs as Build's with both armor sides being dragon with a dragon shaped armor piece next to Spike, along with green flames spiraling around both armors. (Are you ready?) "Henshin!" The construct closes with the dragon piece attaching to the back with the wings closing over his shoulder to be a chest armor and the neck laying over the helmet with its face giving the helmet a white mouth piece and gold dragon head on the forehead. (Wake up burning! Get Cross-Z Dragon! Yeah!)

The CMC looked at Spike with their mouths hanging open as he now looked had transformed into Kamen Rider Cross-Z. The chest piece has a gold flame design on it the left arm and upper part of the right leg also having a gold flame shape. The right arm and upper left leg didn't have a flame design till they gained an emerald flame look with.

Cross-Z looks himself over. "Wow! This feels amazing. So, this is what being a Kamen Rider feels like. Meaning now," He stares at Hyogakki who's growling angrily at him. "you're going to pay for having dared hurting my aunt." Cross-Z says taking a fighting stance.

"You're going to regret this choice, brat." The kaiju shouts as the two then charge at each other.

Tire Org runs up to Build as he destroys the rest of the Orgettes and turns in time to face it. The two's weapons clashed as they swung and blocked each other.

"Look's like if I want something done right, then I'll have to do it myself." The org said as they clashed till going into a stalemate trying to push each other back. While staying in place, Build unfolds the handle and twists the throttle making a revving engine sound come from the weapon as the saw became faster. "What?"

(Jawsome Crush!) The weapon called out as Build pushed the org back, spun around, and swung the Samethrottler in a sweep motion as it cut through the org's axes, along with getting it across the chest with sparks flying off it as it rolled to the ground. "You were saying."

"I'm out of here!" Tire Org shouted turning into a huge tire and rolling away.

Build shakes his head. "Like that's going to happen." He pulls out his phone quickly dials in '201-019'. (Mach Builder!) It called out as said bike transported in, with Build getting on and chasing after the org.

"What the hell is that Sentai? I need to get back to- What?!" Tire Org shouted as it takes notice of Build catching up to it. "Doesn't this hero know when to give up. Let's see him try to keep up with these."

The org built up energy that it releases all around causing the vines and spiked cloud to start coming out around them randomly. Using shark's ability, Build avoids the obstacles as he swerved and drove around past them.

"Shoot. Better help them out" Build says having taken notice of people/ponies being attacked by the objects. The bike visor glows as energy copies of Build's original bike, the Machine Builder, appear to attack and break through the vines and clouds that are attacking the citizens. "Now to get rid of the pest. Huh? What's that?"

Build jumps onto a row of clouds and takes notice of the light coming from the Everfree. "Spike. I've have no time to waste on this clown." He said looking back down at the org and twisting the handle of his weapon twice before jumping down in front of the org with the revving becoming louder.

(Jawsome Requiem!) He swings upward pushing the trigger sending a sawblade bike tire colliding into the kaiju and knocking the org fly landing in the middle of town. Tire Org gets slowly as Build stops a few feet from it. "What kind of Sentai are you?"

"Like I said, I'm not a Sentai. I'm Build. Kamen Rider Build. This is your only warning, give up now, Tire Org." Build warned pointing at it.

"RRRAAAAHHHH!!" The org shouted stomping the ground and then gathering the energy. "Not a chance. I refuse to lose to another of you colored heroes."

Build twists the handle three times making the revving sound get loader again. "Have it your way." He turns the belt's crank making dorsal fins come and move through the ground like water. Before the org could do anything, navy blue sharks came jumping out and biting on to it. "The law of victory have been set!" He said driving straight towards the org.

(Ready go! Vortex Finish! Yeah!) (Jawsome Frenzy!) Before the Org could launch the energy, Build swerves making the bike spin as he goes in circles around the org making a small whirlpool with multiple slashes going through it. The second he comes to a stop in front of the whirlpool, Tire Org explodes sending bits of water all around.

"Now I've got to get to Spike." Build says to himself as he drives towards the Everfree Forest, not taking notice of one of the three circles in the spell circle crack.

After having switched to pegasus and condor, OOO had taken to the skies where he and Vampaira went back and forth clashing. As they flew by each other again, Vampaira quickly looks his way to use its draining ability on him, but OOO reacts quickly by deflecting it away with his sword.

"You're beginning to be a thorn on my side. Maybe some thunder will change that." Vampaira said angrily as it sent its energy into the spiked clouds around them, making them all bunch up together covering the sky over them with sparks coming out of them before lightning began shooting out of them.

"Shit!" OOO shouted doing his best to avoid fly by the bolts of lightning. "Okay, I'm really regretting having rejected Rainbow's offer on flight lessons now. Ah!" He had been saying himself while dodging the lightning till one got him. OOO tried withstanding it as he used his magic to push it back but it breaks through as three other joined it and sends OOO crashing into the stone steps in front of the castle.

Twilight and the girls gasp having seen what happened with Discord wincing from imagining how much that must of hurted.

"OOO doesn't seem to be doing so well." Rainbow says looking to Twilight who looks up at the clouds.

"If only we could get rid of those clouds for him." Twilight taps her chin trying to think of a way.

Discord was scratching his head while in thought till he looked towards the cave. "That's it!" He shouted getting everyones attention. "If you return the Elements to the Tree of Harmony, it should regain its power to get rid of those pesky shrubs and down pourers."

"Hold on. If we do that, then we won't have the Elements to keep you in line." Rainbow pointed out.

Discord groans. "We don't have time for this. We have to help OOO."

Applejack nods agreeing. "He's right, Dash. OOO may become burnt ta a crisp if we don't do somethin' ta help."

"He risked his life to save ours dear. Shouldn't we do the same for him?" Rarity added in.

Rainbow mumbled angrily under her breath till Fluttershy walked wobbling to her. "Please help OOO, Rainbow." She pleaded making Rainbow sigh.

"Fine. You're right. Then let's get our tailless hinds back down there." She said making her friends smile.

"Come on, everypony. We need to hurry." Twilight said as she and Discord helped everyone down the steps.

"HANG IN THERE, OOO!! WE HAVE A PLAN TO HELP!!" Pinkie shouted out over to him making her friends afraid Vampaira might've heard as they now rush down the steps.

OOO had managed to hear her as he was barely holding back the lightnings with his pegasus wings coated with a magic shield layer on them. "If that's the case, then I should try using a combo to break out of this. Let's see what all three pony medals can do." He said switching in horse medal. But as he tries running the scanner, the medals were forcing it back. "What? What's going on?" As he kept trying to force it, the medals glowed before switching themselves out for bat, kangaroo and ostrich. "Huh? Wait. Are these- Well, better than nothing."

Vampaira gets surprised as medals appeared pushing the lightnings back as they spun. (Komori! Kangaroo! Dacho! K-K-K-Ko-Ka-Cho! KoKaCho!) The belt announced playing a boxing ring jingle as the medals stopped at said ones and they merged into one as they changed OOO. "What's he doing?"

"RRAAAAHHHHH!! Ha!" OOO shouted out with the lightning being completely pushed back by waves of aura as the form filled him with power. Besides the bat head, the new form had a kangaroo image in the middle with brown lines along the armor and red boxing gloves on both hands that he punches together. The bottom image had an ostrich as a gray line ran down to the knees with the rest of the legs being gray with the tip of the foot being white along with white feathers with black tips running along the side of the thighs.

"Do you think switching costumes will change anything!" Lightning began to ran down again. OOO sees all the lightnings around him using bat's power and begins to easily move in a fast pace with ease and little amount of movements as he avoids the lightning, while using the gloves to punch the rest back at Vampaira. "What?! How are you doing that?!" It said before avoiding the lightning.

Inside the cave, the group had made their way in, having easily gotten the Elements as they slowly walked to the Tree of Harmony from still trying to get used to walking. As they got near the vines came creeping up to them from behind. Discord hears them in time to push Rainbow forward.

"Hey! What was tha- Discord!" Rainbow shouted making everyone turn to see Discord being wrapped up in the vines. "Let him go!" Rainbow shouts as her and the girls about to help.

"No! Just go! I'll keep them here!" Discord yells making them stop and see him let out his magic into them making the rest stop as the ones on him continued to wrap around him. "I promise, I'll be fine. Just get the Elements to tree to stop all this." The girls hesitate for a moment till they sadly nod and continued forward except for Rainbow. "Hey. You better watch Fluttershy and Twilight's back for me. Or else you'll never hear the end of it from me." He said smiling as the vines completely covered him.

"You better not be lying about being fine, Dipcord." She mumbled before rushing as fast as she could manage to her friends.

A few seconds later, they made it to the Tree of Harmony with the Elements and tree glowing as the two got closer to each other. The girls look at this sit for a few seconds before looking at one another. They all nod as they lock arms and begin concentrating making the Elements glow brightly after a moment. The gems from the Elements detached themselves from the necklaces and crown cause them to disappear. Five of the gems flew up to their respective branches and put themselves in with the trunk of the tree opening up for the Element of magic to place itself in.

The girls are amazed as the Tree of Harmony lights up with its life and power being restored as rainbow magical energy is released in a burst of waves leaving out the cave to spread all around the Everfree.

"What's happening?!" Vampaira shouted as it saw the magical waves were spreading around reaching all the way to Ponyville as they vaperised the vines and clouds. The kaiju comes to a realization looking down to the cave. "It must of been those- Gah!" Vampaira had forgotten about OOO, not seeing that with a fast speed, run up the castle to reach all the way up to it and kicking it downward into the ground.

OOO lands next to Vampaira. "Time for this to come to an end." He said grabbing the scanner. "Now, I'll show you the true strength of desire." (Scanning Charge!) The scanner announced after OOO ran it over the belt as he then got into a stance.

He ran through three rings as Vampaira got up, unleashing a power full screech to push it forward towards the castle at a fast speed along with hitting it with multiple jabs. "Saiya!" OOO shouted reaching the castle with his last punch smashed Vampaira into the wall and proceeds to walk away. "3. 2. 1. Knock out." OOO called out as the three rings placed themselves in a row on Vampaira as the kaiju exploded with the last word he said. Above him, another of the three circles cracks.

The girls rushed back to Discord and spotted him lying on the ground. "Discord!" They all shouted rushing to his side worried but let out a sigh of relief seeing him smile up to them.

"Told you I'd be fine. I'm just hoping that circle disappears soon so this drained feeling is- Uh! Hey!" Hs shouted annoyed as they all jumped hugging him, Rainbow included, smiling with a bit of tears in their eyes. They break the hug as they felt the ground shake a bit. "Seems like we still have one pest running around."

"Woah!" Cross-Z yelled out as he and Hyogakki fell down into Ghastly Gorge on their feet. He ducks under Hyogakki's swing, then follows to punch it multiple times with flaming fists making sparks fly off it as they turned to face each other. "This is amazing." He said to himself looking at his hands as the kaiju stumbled back.

"Don't get too full of yourself, brat." Hyogakki fired blue lasers at Cross-Z while running forward, who puts up his arms to guard against the lasers but the second he put them down, the kaiju hits him twice with its claws, along with a third making sparks fly off Cross-Z's chest.

At the top of the gorge, the CMC come up to the edge struggling as they all carried pulling an unconsious Emerald along.

"She really needs to go on a diet." Scootaloo says getting a disappointed looks from her friends. "What? I'm just say."

"That's still not a nice thing to say to someone who helped us." Sweetie put in a scolding manner.

Apple Bloom walks up to the edge and looks down. "Spike!" Her friends heard her scream out and ran up to see Cross-Z be sent flying back.

Cross-Z stands on to his knee as he sees Hyogakki run up to attack him. "Sho- Ow!" He rubbed his head having felt something hit his head along with the kaiju being wrapped in chains and blasted with blue flames as Ryuga flew by it. "Thanks for the save, Ryuga. Hm? What's this?"

Next to him, he picks up the knuckle weapon Connor had been working on. The handle and bottom part of the weapon was black with a red trigger button on and above the handle. Besides the teeth still being silver, the dragon head was mostly blue like Cross-Z with purple lining the jaw and eyes, along with the eyes and spike fin on the head being green. (Gaburyu Breaker!) It called out as he grabbed on to the handle.

"How do you work this thing?" He looked over the weapon as he spoke before Ryuga pressing itself against the front of the knuckle making a flaming charge sound. Cross-Z gets surprised swinging the weapon as Hyogakki swung its claw at him, trying to hit him. The claw easily gets hit to the side making the kaiju stumble back from the weapon released a burst as the two made contact. "I get the idea now."

He charged the knuckle again as he ran up to the kaiju with it making a growling sound from the charge being done. (Cross Knuckle!) The Weapon announced as he pulled the trigger upper cutting Hyogakki under its jaw sending it flying onto its back. "Yeah! Go, Spike!" The CMC shouted cheering for their friend.

"Quiet!" Hyogakki shouted shooting lasers towards the girls. (Are you ready? Fujimi no heiki! PhoenixRobo! Yeah!) The girls heard as Build came out of the forest with a vermillion flame designed right arm and the left being a gunmetal three fingered mechanical claw arm, with the visor being a robotic claw for the right and the left being flame shaped with a bird shaped in it. On his back was red cape like wings that open up for him to fly, hovering between the girls and the attack. "Another one of you?" It questioned as Build hit the lasers to the side using his claw arm and then send a blast of fire from his other arm that hits Hyogakki into the wall of the gorge making the area shake a bit.

"Try these out, Cross-Z." Build shout as he tossed the new bottles he made. Catching them, he looks the bottles over before looking back up to Build. "Push the top button." Following Build's instructions, he pushes the top button making the mouth slide open with a bottle slot inside. Placing two of the bottles on the holder on the left side of his belt, he shakes and inserts the red dragon bottle. (Ruby Dragon!)

(Devour!) Cross-Z had closed the mouth and charges the weapon again but it makes a crunching sound as Hyogakki got up charging energy into its claws. "I'll freeze you down to the bone!" It fires blue freezing wind towards him as the charge finished, which he pushes the trigger thrusting his fist forward. (Dragonic Roar!) A burst of ruby flames is fired out the weapon that burns through the wind easily with Hyogakki holds back the burst with its claws.

"Next up." Cross-Z says taking out the red bottle, inserting the blue one after shaking it, and follows the same process. (Sapphire Dragon! Devour! Dragonic Sonic!) Instead of firing an attack, he becomes covered in sapphire flames with Hyogakki having withstood the burst. "What's this suppose to do?"

"Let me cool you off." The kaiju fires blue lasers at Cross-Z. The moment the attack is about to hit, he disappears leaving only sapphire embers. "What? We'd he- Uh!" Hyogakki gets surprised as Cross-Z appears in front of him, hitting him with multiple jabs with the weapon around its chest and gut. Hyogakki tries firing its lasers at him in close range, but Cross-Z moves at high speed leaving only embers again while getting behind it.

"Last one." Taking out blue, he uses the green bottle. (Emerald Dragon! Devour!) He charges the knuckle with it finishing the moment Hyogakki turned to face him. (Dragonic Driver!) The kaiju uses its claws to guard as Cross-Z swung the knuckle toward it with spiraling emerald flames covering it. The attack shatters both claws in one strike, sending Hyogakki sliding across the ground.

Cross-Z looks at the knuckle amazed till Ryuga swoops by taking the knuckle with Build then patting his back. "Ready to end this, Kamen Rider Cross-Z." He nods to him as they both look to Hyogakki.

Hyogakki growls standing. "You endangered my home, tried killing me and my friends, and hurt my aunt. Now you'll suffer the fate of those who hurt a dragon's treasure." Cross-Z and Build turn the belts cranks.

"RRRAAAAHHHH" Hyogakki roared sending a freezing wind towards them. (Ready go!) Both belts said with Build jumping towards it as he becomes covered in fire shaped like a phoenix, which lets him easily go through the wind to ram his mechanical arm in the kaiju, fly up into the sky dragging it along with him and leaving it high up in the sky.

Cross-Z jumps high up next to Build leaving them positioned above the kaiju in an angle. As the fire around Build builds up into his left leg, Cross-Z's right leg ignites with blues flames along with the chest armor opening up to give the appearance of wings as green and red flames come out of them to build up with the blue flames.

As Reiji, Twilight and the others arrived to see the scene, Emerald wakes up for a moment seeing Build and Cross-Z. She squints her eyes at the three colored fire of Cross-Z. "Nexus." She barely managed to say softly before falling unconscious with only Discord having heard her. He looked at her and then at Cross-Z with a shocked face.

(Vortex Finish!) (Dragonic Finish!) The two went thrusting toward Hyogakki with their kicks impacting into it, staying in place for a second till they went through the kaiju. They landed on their knees in front of everyone with Hyogakki exploding in the sky the moment they stood up.

The last circle in the spell cracks with the spell circle shattering a second after making the veil slowly disappearing. As the veil came undone, they all get surprised by a warp that opens behind the Riders that they turn to face it. Wizard can be seen on the other side staring back at Cross-Z with a light coming out both of them at that moment and go through the warp to one another before it closes.

The group begins to glow while Build looks with his hand holding his chin in thought to where the warp had been with Cross-Z looking at a red fullbottle with the image of a wizard on it. Everypony and Draconequus changes back to normal the next moment, except the two Riders. All the ponies in Ponyville shout and scream cheering with everything having been restored.

"Huh. Guess this means we can change to human form when using the belts." Build said looking at his hand.

"And seems like you found a friend." Reiji said looking at Cross-Z, who he points a hoof at while turning to Build. "Who is he?" Saying this, the two Riders undid their transformations making their suits disappear into colored particles, they stay human for a second before glowing and changing back into a pony and dragon. The mane six gasp seeing Spike was Cross-Z while Reiji smile. "Awesome. Oh. So, that's why you made those gadgets saying just in case."

Connor shrugs. "It was just a hunch since he was able to make the dragon bottle respond. Hm?" He looked at Reiji who was wobbling and almost falls over, but he helps him stay standing. "Woah. What happened to you?"

"Guess combos take more out of me than random medals." Connor looks at him confused. "I'll explain later." As they spoke the CMC ran up to Spike.

"You were amazing, Spike!" Sweetie shouted happily.

Scootaloo swings her hooves around mimicking the fight. "Yeah. You were like pow! Ha! Zoom! Ya!"

Apple Bloom surprises Spike with a hug. "We're also glad you're alright." Her friend join in the hug making him smile as he happily returns the hug. Though their happy moment is cut short when their sisters cough to get their attention.

"Yah mind explainin' ta us why yer all out here?" Applejack asked sternly.

"And don't you even try lying." Rarity added.

The kids were nervous and a bit afraid till they heard Fluttershy gasp, making everyone turn to her as she stood next to Emerald. "Emerald, are you okay? Oh my! You're so cold." She spoke sounding worried as she looked her over. "Discord, could you-" She stopped seeing him already nod.

"On it. One hospital trip coming up. Hold on, everypony. This might tickle." He said to everyone as he snapped his fingers teleporting them out of the forest.

It had been hours with the moon and stary night now covering the sky with ponies calmly walking the halls of the second floor of the hospital as Nurse Redheart walking out of a room. She turns back to face Reiji who's sitting on a chair on the right side of a bed that Emerald is resting on.

"Make sure to rest up well, Mr. Reiji. I'll be back to check up the two of you later." Redheart informs him.

He nods in response. "Thank you for the help." Redheart nods smiling before leaving down the hall.

Reiji relaxes in his seat as he looks over to the left side of the bed where Spike and the CMC were sleeping bunched up on a couch by the window that Discord had popped in for them to rest on. He remembers how the hospital went into an uproar from them having popped in with no warning.

After a short explanation, they rushed Emerald to a room to be checked and treated on. They were able to fully treat her after Discord offered and gave them his knowledge on dragons. While they had waited, the girls had gotten Spike and the CMC to explain their reason for being in the Everfree, to which led to them being in big trouble aside from their good intentions. But the girls decided to hold off on the punishment till after the celebration and Emerald wakes up.

Everyone had stuck around till they knew Emerald would be okay and decided to head to the celebration. Though Reiji had been forced to stay to rest for the night while Spike and CMC wanted to stay by Emerald's side till she woke up and had fell asleep waiting.

Reiji's attention is then drawn back to Emerald as she begins to wake up groaning. "Hey, take it easy there, Emerald. Everything is alright now. I'm pretty sure you can guess you're in the hospital. How are you feel?"

"That depends, how are the little ones?" She asked holding a hand to her head. She sees him motioning to her left, which she turns to see the kids sleeping. "How long have they-"

"Ever since we got you here." Reiji said cutting her off with a smile. "Twilight and the girls tried convincing them to go along with them to the celebration but refused without a second thought. They really wanted to stay to make sure you'd be alright."

"I see. I'm really sorry for worrying all of you." She said looking down sadly.

Reiji pats her shoulder with his wing while giving her a reassuring smile. "Hey, cheer up. Aside from all that happened, I think you and Spike were able to get a bit of your feels across to each other."

She looks to Spike uncertain. "Would that really be for the best? I still don't think I deserve to be a part of his life after leaving him."

"That part for him to decide since it is his life." Reiji says looking to Spike. "Though I'm pretty sure his actions today tell you his answer to that. Well, I'm getting bored just sitting around." He said making Emerald turn to him as he walked to the door. "I'm gonna ignore the nurse's orders and head to the celebration to get some food. You can't really expect me to recover with an empty stomach." He stops at the door turning to look back at her. "Just try not to hurt the little guy anymore. You two are the only family that the both of you have right now, after all."

Emerald smiles softly to him before looking back to the kids as her tail enlarges to gently pick up the couch to place it next the bed so she can place a wing over them. "I don't ever want to hurt him ever again. I'll do everything in my power to be the aunt he deserved." Reiji smiles and turns leaving out of the room. Emerald gently snuggles her head against Spike. "Little by little, I'll tell you everything, Spike. I promise." She quietly said to him as she went back to resting along with them while keeping her wing over them protectively.

Reiji brings out the pony medals as he walked down the hall. "Why couldn't I use your combo?"

Most of the ponies had gathered in front of Town Hall having started the Summer Sunset Celebration with groups of ponies happily eating pastries and conversing with one another.

As ponies were having fun, Connor was sitting at a table along with Twilight and Fluttershy as they had exchanged what happened on their sides. Though at the moment Applejack and Rarity came up to the table, they took notice of Connor's annoyed face.

"What's the matter, Connor? Are you not like the celebration?" Rarity asked him as they took a seat. He shakes his head making her and Applejack confused.

"Then what's got yah feelin' down?" She asked.

He turns to them. "Twilight here is trying to have me reconsider not going to meet the Princesses to be thanked personally. Which I have no intention of doing." He stated deadpanning at Twilight. Rarity gasps making him groan. "She only invited me. Meaning I have the right to refuse. So, why am I trying to be forced to go?"

"Because this is the princesses we're talking about, dear. You can't just refuse when she wants to thank you personally by taking time off on her busy schedule." Rarity exclaimed only earning her a bored look from him.

"Is there a reason why yah don't want ta go?" Applejack asked curious.

Connor just shrugs. "No real reason. I just don't like standing out when I was just doing what any hero would do. If she wants to thank Build, then she can thank him in the news. As Connor, I'd rather be thanked for something I made in a competition or something to actually be rewarded in."

This makes the girls laugh a bit. "Where were yah when Dash needed some modesty?"

"Hey!" Rainbow shouts landing next to the table. "I learned my lesson during that time."

"Sure, you did. 'We believe you' completely." Discord quoted sarcastically as he had popped in between Twilight and Fluttershy dressed as a judge making puppy dog eyes at her. Rainbow glares at him for a second before laughing.

Rainbow flies up next to him and playfully punches his shoulder. "You're alright, Discord. I mean I don't trust you still but you're alright enough to give this friendship a try. Right, Pinkie?" Pinkie comes popping her head out of flower vase on their table scaring half of them to death.

"I thought we were already friends." Pinkie said confused before shrugging the thought. "But imagine all the fun we could all have now. Like making super extra special terrific hilarious pranks, random games we could create, or maybe even having a chocolate rain day." Saying this, she presses her forehead against Discord's glaring at him. "But no leaving out the whip cream this time." They all laugh at Discord trying to back up with Pinkie following him perfectly.

"Besides, I have something I want to get started working on." He said levitated three different looking types of bottles and a silver spout bag-like looking object with a dragon head image on it.

Twilight took them with her magic to look at them along with her friends. "What are these? This one looks the same as yours but burnt up while these other ones are different."

"This is the dragon magma bottle. As for the other two, they're the dragon evolu bottle and dragon sclachjelly. From what Spike and the girls told me, I'm guessing the Cross-Z who gave him his belt also passed these on for him to use." The took the items back at the end. "Though, I'm going to need to adapt these in a way for Spike to be able to use since they each required something to use. Well, not until he's ready at least. Using them now so early could be dangerous for him."

"But what would Spike need these things for anyway?" Rainbow asked to which Connor goes quiet making everyone feel a bit worried.

"Connor, what would he need them for?" Twilight tries pressing the question.

He sighs looking to them. "Look after what happened today, I think the danger in both our worlds have grown. If those kaiju weren't the only Sentai kaiju here, then Spike's going to need these to stand a chance. We'll back him up and help make him stronger of course but...I'm just worried about the worlds chances if we aren't able to get stronger as well." Saying this makes him almost think he felt an ominous wind as he looked up to the moon.

In the middle of the ocean was a huge island full of vegetation and wildlife. Most of the animals were all asleep till they all shot awake and began running as a loud roar echoed around shaking the whole land.
