OP - The Voice by Celtic Woman

Back at the campgrounds, the fashion show was getting organized on the new dock as Rainbow, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Adagio, Sonata, Aria, and Salazar were now dressed in the outfits organized by the indigo haired girl.

"Ugh... I can't believe i got involved!" Salazar spoke as he looks at the indigo suit with golden yellow trims he wore, "I freaking hate tuxedos."

"Oh come on, I think you look good." Pixel said.

"Oh come on, I look...." Salazar said, turning to face Pixel. But he stops midsentence imupon seeing Pixel in a larjling turquoise dress with silver lines resembling circuitry and a cyan hair ornament decorated to resemble a motherboard.

Pixel giggles upon seeing Salazar's reaction. "I take you like what you see?" Pixel asked in a teasing manner, snapping Salazar out of his stupor.

"Uh... ahem, s-sorry." Salazar stammered with a blush on his face. "You look... God you look gorgeous."

"Oh you." Pixel replied playfully. "And you don't look too bad yourself."

"I look ridiculous." Salazar saidnwhile looking to the tux he wore. "No shade to Rarity, she does God's work. I'm just not too fond of buttons and sleeves."

"I've never been a fan of dresses, but here I am." Pixel said, placing a hand on Salazar's shoulder while said boy blushed. "After all, it never hurts to try something new."

And with that Pixel walked off to meet with Applejack and Fluttershy, while Salazar looks to her with a soft smile. He then looks to Allister, Luna, and Luna, the three faculty members casting knowing smiles to him.

"What?" Salazar said with a quicker eyebrow.

"I think you know, Romeo." Allister replied with a chuckle, nudging Salazar in a playful manner.

"Seems somebody's smitten with a certain android girl." Celeatia chimed in to join in on the teasing.

"What... me?!" Salazar replied with a nervous laugh. "Oh no, no! She's just a friend! That's all!"

"Oh?" Luna asked, a playful grin on her face. "Then why pray tell is your face red?"

"Oh that?" Salazar asked. "It's just that... this tux is getting stuffy! Yeah! Ehehehe... Oh, I hear Flash calling me so gotta jet!" Salazar darted off, and Allister, Luna, and Celestia chuckle.

"Looks like Twilight and Timber Spruce aren't the only item made here in this camp." Luna said, looking to Pixdl with a soft smile.

"Yes, indeed." Celestia said before having a sad look. "Though I'm still disheartened about what happened between Gloriosa and Dustin." Celestia placed a handnover hee chest with a sigh. "I wander what happened between those two?"

"Speaking of which..." Allister stated, "I haven't seen much of him at all." Allister looked around. "Plus, Sunset and Twilight have been gone for a while now."

Adagio was chatting with Sonata, Aria, and Fluttershy. "Hey, have you guys seen Twilight, Sunset, and Dustin? I have seen them around."

Suddenly, Sonata looked up in the sky, where she saw something. "Hey, what's that?" Adagio, Aria, and Fluttershy looked up to see Pendragon flying twloards them. And everyone else present saw this too.

"What the..." Pixel said as she gasped in surprise, making Rarity and Applejack look to her. "Oh crap! Guys, we better step off the dock! Now!"

"Why?" Rarity asked with confusion. "Is everything alright?"

That question was answered as Kraekan emerged from the water, catching the others by surprise. And sure enough, many other bizarre creatures emerged from the lake water as well. One resembled a turquoise humanoid turtle with a seafoam green shell on its back, another resembled a man fused with to the back of a one-eyed horse while looking like it was made of wood, even one resembled a cross between a frog and a lizard with a tail resembling that if a fish.

"What in tarnation?!" Applejack cried out in shock as she and the others got off the docks.

From the forest emerged Fengh gnashing his teeth at the campers.

"A Gladius Lupus!" Allister declared in shock while Fehng released a mighty howl, causing more creatures to emerge from the woods. One resembled a brown colored gnome with a bulbous gnostic and weilding an axe, a swarm of large wasp-like insects with hand legs that looked like they could stab and large stingers flew around, there were even two towering robotic humanoids that had heads resembling siren towers.

The Leveau sister had also arrived with their golem minions marching towards the campers. Pendragon landed, and Gaea hopped off of his back.

"Is that... Gloriosa?!" Adagio asked in disbelief.

"Oh my God!" Pixel gasped as she looked to Gaea. "Guys... I think Gloriosa is using Equestrian magic! These energy reading I'm picking up from her are off the charts!"

"Forget that, where'd a dragon made of plants come from?!" Rainbow asked incredulously.

"That's no dragon!" Allister declared in disbelief. "That's a Dracoflorasian!"

"A what?" Aria asked in confusion.

"Digital lifeforms resembling dragons made of plant matter. They're only found in Cyberspace, specifically on the Site Avalora!" Allister explained. "But how did it get here?!"

Flutterhsy then sees Dustin bound in Pendragon's tail, gasping in terror. "It's got Dustin!"

"Not for long he doesn't!" Rainbow declared and was about to save her masculine friend, only for a bird-like creature to fly forward and zap her with electricity.

"Hang on, buddy!" Applejack called out to Dustin, but Pendragon breathed a blast of green fire towards Applejack. Luckily Rarity conjured a diamond shield to deflect the attack before sending said barrier towards Pendragon, topping him over.

Sonata was about to rescue Dustin, but Rouge pulled out a blow pipe and loaded a dart into it before firing said dart Sonata. Once hit, Sonata began to feel woozy before ultimate falling to the ground, snoring loudly.

"Sonata!" Adagio called out to her friend while Aria charged at Rouge. Only for Amarillo to step in and blow some purple powder at Aria, making the twin-tailed siren fall to the ground unable to move.

Pendragon gets back up before stopping his right foreleg onto the ground, binding the gang in vines.

However Pendragon failed to notice Dustin fiddling with his Digitix before tapping the device's screen, turning into Indestructile.

"Indestructile!" Indestructile roared out before getting consumed by a bright multi-colored luminescent energy field and morphing into a verison of himself composed of rocks and stones. "Rockodile!"


(Transformation Index)

Name: Rockodile

Species: Lacertian

Rockodile?! Really?! Well, I guess it's quite obvious what this one does, based on his physical appearance.


"Alright you four-legged weed!" Rockodile declared as he raised his tail. "Get ready fo rock!" Rockodile then slashed at Oendrgaon with his tail, makinc a large gash on Pendragon's right hindleg while eliciting a roar from the Dracoflorasian. But as soon as the cut appeared, the would quickly healed.

"You walking pile of cobblestone!" Pendragon growled furiously at Rockodile as one of the golem's socked Rockodile in the jaw, toppling the rocky Laceratian over.

"Maybe Rockodile isn't your thing!" Rockodile declared before being enveloped in, changing into Lightning Bug.

"Then how about something more electrifying with Lightning Bug!" Lightning Bug stated as he fired a blast of electricity from his stinger towards Pendrgon, only for another golem to take the attack for Pemdragon while suffering no damamge.

As this happened, Gaea arrived on the campgrounds, much to the shock of everyone.

"It's Gaea Everfree!" Trixie screamed, pointing at her.

"She's real!" Flash realized on shock.

"Round them up!" Gaea ordered as Amarillo and Ciel surrounded the campers with their golems.

"Gloriosa?!" Timber guessed out of complete shoc. "What are you doing?!" he asked, much to the surprise of the others as their eyes all widened.

"That's Gloriosa?" Applejack questioned with an arched eyebrow, while Fluttershy nervously held her left arm in fright, "Am I going crazy, or are her feet not touching the ground?" she inquired, pointing towards the demonic being as her friends and comrades were all gathered with her.

"Freaky-deaky!" Pinkie concurred out of nowhere, as everyone was quite stunned.

"Filthy Rich wants this to be the last session of Camp Everfree," Gaea explained as Pendragon Fehng apporachsd to her side. "But don't worry…I got this!" With that, raising her arms up as they sparkled with green electricity before shoveling her fingers into the ground beneath her. This caused a surge of green to spread before, causing thenentire area to be surrounded by a wall of giant thorny stalks.

"Dammit!" Lightning Bug declared, looking to Gaea before charging his stinger with electricity and amined at her. "I'm sorry, Glori!"

"You will not do anything of the sort!" Pendragon wrapped his tail around Lightnig Bug before slamming the electric insectoid into the ground with a powerful thud, causing Lightning Bug to revert back to Dustin.

"Ugh....God that hurts!" Dustin groaned in pain.

Gaea: I have waited for the day
To send this greedy wolf away
Now the magic is my salvation
Gather close in my protection

Gaea and Pendragon: We will stand for Everfree

The campers are getting scared, while Dustin truned into Foxglov and vanished in a cloud of losses petals before appearing before Gaea. Gaea however conjured a mass of vines to ensnare Foxglove ambefore pining him to the ground.

Gaea: Behold the beauty of nature in all its glory
No need to fear the vultures at the door
Right here you have us to protect you

Foxglove changed to Terra Terrier and clawed his way out, but the two mechanical Sirenheads both unleashed a dealing blast of sound at the humanoid canine, making him cover his ears as one of the golems punched near Timber.

Gaea: Within these walls of thorns
Gloriosa and Pendragon: Forever free, forevermore!

Timber look around until he spotted the axe, quickly grabbing it to chop the wooden veins down to make a path, but but the troll/gnome like creature got in his way while brandishing his own axe, causing the two to clash blows.

Pendragon: They have come into our domain
Here to seal our camp in chains
But we have held it for generations
This is just a complication

Gaea and Pendragon: We will stand for Everfree!

Terra Terrier then got back up and changed into Fraight-Gaunt and flew towards Gaea, only for Pendragon to send him back with his fire breath. Knocking him to the ground and changing back to Dustin again.

Ciel: Trust in us, this is for your own good
Rouge: Don't be afraid, nature is our friend
Amarillo: All of this beauty that surrounds us
Leveau Soster: Every lovely bloom designed to defend

Pixel saw a Pendragon loom over Dustin, who was struggling to get up, so she morphed her hand into a blaster and fired at Pendragon. Pendragin looks to her before stopping his right foreleg on the ground to encase her in brambles. Pendragon then had Dustin pinned with his other foreleg.

Pendragon: Let them come, just let them try!
Gaea: We’re not about to say goodbye!
Pendraon: This camp will be here throughout the ages
Gaea: Written into the history pages
Gaea and Pendrago: We... will... stand for Everfree!

Timber was still fighting off the gnome/troll creature until Allister pulled out a laser gun and fired a blast of green energy at the creature, causing a surge of green electricity to overwhelm it.

Timber looks on with a perplexed look, then looks to Allister. "Thanks." Timber thanks Allister.

Pixel managed to cut her way out of the brambles while Adagio and Aria stuck at Pendragon, infuriating the floral dragon.

"Dammit, there's so many of these freaks!" Salazar declared as a small humanoild mushroom like creature jumped at him, only for Salazar to punch the fungal creature away.

“Oh, why do these kinds of things always happen to us?” Fluttershy sighed,

“What are we going to do?” Rarity asked and Rainbow Dash stands up.

"I'll tell you what we're gonna do!" Allister declared with a determined look. "We're going to fight these things with all that we have!" Allister then looks to Celestia and Luna. "Celestia! Luna! Get the campers somewhere safe! Me and the kids will hold them off as long as possible!"

Pendragon was still dealing with Aria and Adagio, until he decided to end the confrontation and emitted large puffs of yellow fog from his nostrils.

"Ugh... that stank!" Aria said inbetween coughs. "That is just na-ah-ACHOO!" Aria sneezed, and so did Adagio.

"What wa-ACHOO! Was tha-ACHOO!" Aadagio cried ot in between sneezes.

"A special kind of pollen that elicits allergic reactions." Pendragon declared with a chortle before smacking the two sirens away. "I will deal with you wenches later! For now I..." Pendragon was cut off by a fist collided to his face, which was from Terra Terrier.

"Never call my friends that, you son of a bitch!" Terra Terrier declared before changing into Rockodile, then opened his mouth to fire a blast of swamp mud at Pendragon.

"Eww!" Many of the girls present cried out in disgust.

"My word!" Rarity declared, her face turning a bit green at the gross sight. "And I thought that was disgusting from Indestructile!"

"You putrid heathen!" Pendragon roared out in anger and annoyance. "How about I cleanse that pallet of yours?!" Pendragon's nostrils then flared, creating puffs of a magenta colored fist clouds whike the petals around his head span rapidly like the blades of a fan. This caused magenta dust flew directly at Rockodile.

"What the... what is... thiiii...." Rockodile slurred out, wobbling around like he was suffering from vertigo. "Whoa...." Rockodile then started giggling like an idiot as he rolled on his back. "So many colors...."

The others watched on with erplexed expressions on thsir faces. "What was that?" Adgio asked out of confusion.

"Hallucinogenic spores." Pendragon replied with a wicked chortle. "A puff of this stuff and you'll be, as you children say these days, "tripping balls"."

"You drugged him?!" Rainbow declared in anger before speeding to Pendragon, striking him with blinding speed before Applejack used her super strength to knock Pendrgaon back with a single roundhouse.

"You're awfully unruly, aren't you?" Gaea declared in mild annoyance.

"Miss Daisy!" Allistsr declared, grabbing Gaea's attention as he aimed his laser gun. "Surrender yourself now, or I will fire!"

"I think not!" Gaea retorted with a snap of her fingers, causing Fehng to pounce on him.

One of the golems approached Lyra Heartstrings and Sweetie Drops, making both girls scream in terror. But fortunately, Aria and Sonata swooped in and sent it back with their sonic screams.

The robotic Sirenheands apprached Pinkie, but the girl used her magical explosions to knock them down.

Applejack managed to destroy many golems with her punches as Fluttershy got some help from the local wildlife to helpf fight of many of the digital enemies. Rainbow Dash using her superspeed to strike at the Leveau sisters while Rarity used her diamond shields to block a swarm of hornet-like creatures.

Kraekan sent its tentacles after Pinkie, but Pixel grabbed into them before electrocuting it with a surge of cyan electricity at the giant cephalopod. Sonata was dealing with Pendragon while Salazar morphed his arms into both Firefox Sword and Indestructile Blaster respectively and attacked at Gloriosa

ENOUGH OF THIS!" Pendragon declared before emitting a mighty roars, causing the gang of heroes to get ensnraned in thick vines. "Your efforts... are nothing short... OF MANINGLESS!!!" Pendragon then breathed out a massive plune if green fire at the group, only for a tremendous blast of water to appear and cancel out the attack while also sending him crashing into the wall of brambles.

"Pendragon!" Gaea cried out in concern as she helped Pendrgaon up before looking to theblake to see Wrasse-stache was the one who sent the attack. "You!"

"You were expecting someone else?" Wrasse-stache replied in a sly manner before using his whisker to cut the brambles that held his friends. "Guys, hang tight for a bit! I'm gonna go get Twilight and Sunset!"

In a bright blue flash, Wrasse-stache changed to Terra Terrier and tunneled into the ground.


Meanwhile


In the crystals cavern, Spike managed to chew himself and bith Twilight and Sunsst free from the vines.

"Nice work, Spike!" Sunset thanked Spike as she jogged towards the sealed entrance befode trying to push the boulders with her own strength. "Twilight, you have to use your magic!"

"I don't think I can lift something that big." Twilight replied honestly with a shake of her head, her voice filled with self-doubt.

"It's our only chance of getting out of here and helping our friends!" Susnset declared, and although Twilight was still hesitant, she knew her friend had a valid point.

Twilight sepped forward and held out her hands towards the boulder sealing off the entrance, her hands glowed in a violet light before shrouding the blockage within a sparkling aura. The boulder then began to move forward, tugging at the brambles holding it down.

But suddenly a slashing sound was heard as the boulder was shot a good few feet away. The two girls and dog were selurprised, but were then relieved upon seeing Terra Terrier standing at the entrance.

"You rang?" Terra Terrier declared before reverting to Dustin.

"Dustin!" Twilight and Sunset said at once, running to their male friend and embracing him in a tight hug.

"New Binary DNA sample acquired!" The Digitrix AI declared, making Dustin look to the Digitirx's screen to see what lookedike a less withered version of Pendragon

"A new guy!" Dustin said with a grin. "Quite convenient!" With a tap of of the Digitrix's screen, his body was surrounded by a ring of Bar Code, making an all too egg shaped dome to appear.

Inside, his skin began to glow so his entire body was now a shining silhouette as two the vertrical rectangular 'plates' appeared and surrounded Dustin's glowing form before inching closer forwards him.

As this happened, a splayed out image of the dragon's underside was visible on the front plate while the topside was visible on the back one before both fused onto his body. In an explosion of light, the new Dracoflorasian form Dustin had acquired flew thrkugh through the air and landed on the familair platform bearing the Digitrix Symbol, realizing a mighty roar.

"SNAPDRAGON!"" Snapdragon cried out in a deep yet smooth voice as the data egg dome that surround him dissipated revealing the new transformation.


(Transformation Index)

Name: Snapdragon

Species: Dracoflorasian

What do you get when you cross a dragon with a plant? Well, you get Snapdragon! Like your average dragon, he can fly and breath fire! Add that with the plant-like a abilities we've seen from Snapdragon and you've got yourself a beast that will leave even the bravest of knights shaking in their boots!


"Ohohoh Hell yeah!" Snapdragon chuckled as he examined his new form. "This is freaking awesome!"

"Alright!" Sunset declared as Twilight picked Spike up before the two girls hopped on Spaldragon's back. "Next stop, Camp Everfree!"

"Fasten your seatbelts!" Snapdragon exclaimed before he flapped his wings and took off into the air.


Back at the camp, Pendragon was dealing with Rainbow, Aria, Salazar, and Pixel while the others were dealing with Gaea.

"Why are you fighting us?!" Gloriosa declared in annoyance. "I'm doing this to save our camp! I'm doing this for you!"

"Seriously?!" Salazar retorted to a sarcastic tone! "Look around you!"

"Mind your tone, heathen!" Snapdragon roared out in anger as he lashed his tail at him, only for to be severed by Pixel with her arm morphed into an energy blade.

“Now, let's just think about this for a moment, shall we?" Rarity said nervously. "I mean, I think Camp Everfree is absolutely delightful, but I just don't know that I'm quite ready to give up my weekly trips to the spa.” Rarity said, hoping to reason with Gloriosa.

“To the spa...?" Gaea asked, her left eye twitching before getting ready angry. "TO THE SPA?!” Gloriosa shouted in rage growing more veins.

But suddenly, a green fireball was shot at Gloriosa, surprising Pendrgaon before another one was shot at him.

"What the..." Rainbow asked as as she and the others see Snapdragon land, along with Twilight, Sunset, and Spike hopping off.

"There's another one?!" Sonata asked in shock. Even Gaea and Gloriosa were taken aback by the sight of Snapdragon.

"Wait!" Pendragon uttered, noticing the familiar Digitrix Symbol on Snapdragon's chest before looking to him in rage. "You! That form is not yours to flaunt, you wretched heathen!"

"Cry me a river, gramps!" Snapdragon declared before his eyes glowed green, causing the nearby brambles that attacked the nearby campus to lash at Gaea and Pendragon instead.

"What is this?!" Gaea asked in shock, looking to Snapdragon in rage. "You truly have a death wish, don't you?!"

"I didn't want it to come to this, Gloriosa!" Snapdragon exclaimed with a soft glare. "But if I've got to fight you to snap you back to your senses, then by God I will do it!" Snapdragon stomps his right foreleg onto the ground for emphasis. "I don't give damn if I die here today, I will be break the hold those damned stones have over you!"

Everyone present, human and digital, were stunned upon hearing this.

"My, that was a beautiful speech." Gaea said with a soft smile before scowling venomous. "You've just dug up your grave!"

"The only way you are getting to Gloriosa..." Pendragon started, getting in front of Gaea, "is over my dead body!" Suddebly, he started coughing violently, much to Gaea's concern.

"Pen!" Gloriosa called outnin terror, approaching her draconian friend. "Oh no, your condition is getting worse!"

"I'll... muscle it through..." Pendragon said inbetween coughs, wheezing heavily.

"Dear God! What's up with you?" Snapdragon asked, looking slightly concerned to Pendragon.

"Pendragon, you should rest for a bit!" Gaea said to Pendragon before looking to Snapdragon, her hands hands sparkling with green energy. "I'll deal with him!"

"Gloriosa!" Timber called out, approaching Gaea. "This isn't then way!"

"I appreciate your concern, Timber!" Gaea said as Pendragon smacked him away with his tail. "But I got this!" Timber was about to get up, only or Ciel to to breath purple dust onto him, paralyzing Timber.

"I'll try to make this as quick and painless as I possibly can!" Snapdragon declared before shooting another green fireball at Gloriosa, who conjures a wall of brambles to block the attack.

"What happened to us, Dustin?" Gaea spoke in rage as she conjured more brambles to lash at Snapdragon while he dodges. "You and me, we could have ruled this place like a king and queen! But instead you denied my offer! I was an idiot to think you could see things my way!"

"I do want this place to stick around! Believe me, I do!" Snapdragon said, hisneyes glowing green as he used Gaea's brambles against her. "But is this really how you want to do it?! Look around you Gloriosa!" Snapdragon said, extending his right wing to his surrounding. "Your converting this place from a regular camp into a penile camp!"

"If this is the only way to ensure Camp Everfree stays..." Gaea replied, her fists tightening as her hands glowed a bright green. "THEN SO BE IT!"

Sunndely, Pendrgaon was wrapped in brambles before said brambles generated sharp spikes, many of them piercing into him while elicting a blood curdling scream as lime green blood seeped from them.

"DUSTIN!" Sunset cried out in fear.

"Gloriosa stop it!" Timber uttered as he still tried to get up, but couldn't due to the paralysis.

"You broke my heart that night!" Gaea declared angrily through clenched teeth as another bramble emerged from the ground and wrapped around Pendragon's neck. "So now..." The bramble then began to tug violently, much to the horror of the other campers, "I'M GOING TO BREAK YOU!!!" And suddebly, the brambles pulled Snapdragon's head off of his neck, making his body go limp!

"NO!" Sunset cried out in horror while Twilight gasped in horror and Rarity, and Fluttershy covered their mouths in shock. Pinkie bent forwards and puked as Sonata began to shed tears. Even Allister, Celestia, and Luna were horrified by what had just happened.

"Oh God!" Timber uttered in horror upon seeing his own sister decapitate Snapdragon.

The other campers watched on in horror as the decapitated body of Snapdragon fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Dustin... No!" Pixel uttered as tears ran down her face while she embraced Salazar, crying into his chest.

"You were a fool to defy me, Dustin!" Gaea said with a smirk. But she then lost her smirk as Snapdragon's headless body twitched before standing up while the headless neck rose and a new head.

"Ugh.... man!" Snapdragon groaned, dizzied a bit before shaking his head. "That's gonna take some getting used to."

"What?!" Gaea declared in disbelief while the gang were shocked but relieved.

"I should mention that when one of our kind loses a lime, such as a tail or even a head, we regrow a new one!" Pendragon replied, making Gaea turn to face him.

"AND YOU WAITED UNTIL NOW TO TELL ME THIS?!" Gaea declared in rage.

"Twilight," Sunset started to Twilight, "Do you think you can use your magic?"

"I don't want to use too much." Twilight replied, clearly apprehensive. "Midnight Sparkle could take over."

"Twilight, he need our help!" Sunset replied, motioning to Snapdragon.

"You've got magic now too?" Rarity asked in surprise.

"Took you long, but excellent timing!" Rairty said with a smile.

"Actually... I've... I've always had it." Twilight admitted, making the others gasp in surprise.

"I knew it." Pixel replied with a smirk, the others look towards her. "I knew that's why I've detected some energy spikes from you."

"Can we focus on helping Dustin out please?!" Aria replied, motioning to Snapdragon, who was still fighting Gaea.

"You are really trying my patiense!" Gaea growled, conjuring more brambles to trap Snadragon. But the Dracoflorasian flew upwards and breathed green fire at the brambles. Snapdragon lashed at Gloriosa with his tail, sending her skidding across the ground.

"Gloriosa!" Pendragon cried out to Gaea before casting a glare to Snapdragon. "Nobody... and I mean nobody..." Pendragon rises up and lowers to his haunches, "HURTS HER!!!"

Pendragon then charged at Snapdragon, toppled him over. But Pendragon wasn't done, not by a long shot. He breathes a stream of fire into Snapdragon's face, then wraps his tail around his waist before tossing him into the air. Snapdragon however managed to flap his wings and take into the air, and Pendragon followed in hot pursuit.

"Hang on!" Sonata declared as she was about to take off to the air to help, only for her and thebothers to be ensnared into a bunch of more brambles.

"Ah, ah, ah!" Gaea declared with a smirk and a wag of her finger.

In the sky, Pendragon managed to wraps his tail around Snapdragon and locked hia limbs around him before tucking his wings in, causing the two to fall th enter ground. Pendragon was able to position themselves so Snapdragon would take the fall.

"OH CRAAAAAAP!!!" Snapdragon cried out before he landed with a owerful thud, causing the ground to shake and a great sockwave to appear. Pendragon gets up with a triumphant smirk, while Snapdragon groaned in pain before reverting back to Dustin.

"Ugh.... that's gonna hurt tomorrow." Dustin groaned in agony as Pendragon pins hom down with his right foreleg.

"For you, there is no tomorrow!" Pendragon declared before taking in a deep breath and breathing anither plume of green fire at him.

"DUSTIN!" Sunset cried out in worry as Dustin screamed in blistering agony.

"Pendragon! stop it!" Timber cried out, and thankfully Pendrgaon did, leaving a singed Dustin groaning in agony.

"And now, we finish this!" Gaea said with a wicked cackle a she propped the injured Dustin with a few brambles while she conjured two more to wrap around his neck with intent to strangle him.

"NO!" Twilight cried out as she struggled to escape.

"GLORIOSA STOP! YOU'LL KILL HIM!" Timber cried out.

"That's the idea!" Gaea declared wickedly.

Suddenly, the Digitrix emitted a bright blue glow before generating a blue surge of energy that destroyed the brambles, much to Gaea's surprise. The the aurlised only keep on coming as the Digitrix beeped profusely.

"Multiple Digitalismans Detected!" The Digitrix AI declared.

"What?!" Pendragon gasped in shock as a wave of energy emerged from the Digitrix, taking everyone by surprise.

"What's happening?" Bulk Biceps asked in shock.

"I dont know!" Sweetie Drops replied before noticing something in the lake. "Look!"

Suddenly, a bright light shined under the lake, making Kraekan look in surprise. And suddenly, a white diamond shaped jewel with a symbol of a snowflake. The jewel emitted a bright cyan glow while creating a small circular sheet of beneath it.

"Whoa..." Snips and Snails both said simultaneously in awe.

"The White Digitalisman!" Pendragon declared in disbelief before noticing a few sparkles of electricity near the P.A. From the ground beside emerged a rainbow gemstone shaped as vertical oval while having the symbol of a lightning bolt on it, floating while emitting multicolored electricity.

"What's going on?" Twilight asked as a breeze kicked up, and from nearby in woods emerged two more stones. One was a bright yellow jewel shaped as a vertical rectangle bearing the image of a leaf while being encased in a ball of wind.

The other was a round pink jewel with a the image of a heart on it while emitting a pink glow.

"This can't be happening!" Gaea declared, a sens of fear rushed over her.

Suddenly, the stones in the chest of one of the golems cracked before shattering to pieces, revealing a purple light purple hexagonal stone with a symbol ofna magic circle on it.

"Beginning Scanning Process!" The Digitrix AI declared as the stones turned into white, violet, multicolored, pink, and yellow energy respectively before getting sucked into the Digitrix. "All 7 Digitalisman Have Been Scanned And Acquired! New feature uploaded!" The Digitrix's screen displayed a rainbow color with the trademark Digitirix symbol visible in the background.

"Well alright!" Dustin declared with a smug grin to a shocked Gaea and Pendragon. "Let's give it a whirl!" Dustin declared before changing into Firefox. And suddenly, the Digitrix Symbol on his chest displayed the red flame symbol the Red Digitalisman bore.

"Red Digitalisman, Gemplify!" Firefox declared as he was enveloped in a red aura that resembled flames. "LIGHT MY FIRE!"

And with that, Firefox was enveloped in a egg-shaped dome made of red and yellow colored bar code.

Inside, Firefox was floating in a void composed of fire as a phoenic made of red energy shrieks. Firefox outstretched as the energy pheonix flew above him as it's body began splitting into many streaks of red flame.

These streaks, upon contact, created red crystalline parts. On his head were two crystalline horns, his claws were also red crystals while longer than normal, his forearms and thighs were clad in black leather, and he was adorned with a black leather blazer that was opened along with a red chryatal chestplate shaped like a skull. Aside from that though, this new look for Firefox looked no different than his regular form.

"Emboldened by the flame of strength and valor," Firefox chanted as lenlanded on the familar square podium bearing the Digitrix Symbol, "No evil shall escape my sight!" Firefox struck a mighty pose as his hands erupted in crimson flames. "PREPARE FOR BATTLE!" Once the transformation was complete, the egg dome that surround him dissipated to reveal Forefox's new look for all to bask.

"Dustin?" Sunset and Twilight asked in surprise.

"I-Impossible!" Pendragon gasped in shock as Firefox glared to him and Gaea.

"What is this?!" Gaea asked in disbelief.

"A new kind of firepower!" Firefox declared I'm confidence as the many Digital Life Forms present cowered a way in fear. "That's what it is!"

"Now then, let's see what this new look provides!" Firefox declared as his crystal claws glowed a bright red before slashing, sending waves of red energy at his entrapped friends, utting the brambles and freeing them.

Fehng snarled viciously before charging at Forefox. But Firfos was ready as he left up to avoid the attack, then charged a massive ball of fire before sending to Fehng. The attack sent Fehng back a bit whilst a small portion of his fur was singed.

"DAMN YOU!" Pendragon roared dangrily as he charged at Forefox, only for the humanoid kitsune to to punch send him back with a flaming punch. "You little...." Pendragon stopped hinselfnas he began to hack a small bit of pail green goo.

"PEN!" Gaea cried in worry before casting a furious glare to Firefox. "YOU BASTARD!!!" Glorios then sent a bunch of spiked brambles at Firefox, but luckily then gang regrouped with him, Dazzlings’ using their sonic screams whils Rarity forms a shield on Applejack’s command.

“I can't keep this up forever!” Rarity struggled to keep the diamond shield up.

“It's up to you. You can use your magic to pull the brambles apart!” Sunset said.

“No. There's too many of them. It would take too much magic. I can't!” Twilight worried.

"Twikight, I know your scared!" Firefox said, placing a hand on Twilight's shoulder while looking her in the eyes. "But we need your help! Otherwise, we're done for."

“He's right. you have to face Midnight Sparkle and embrace your magic." Sunset explained reassuringly with a soft smile. "Remember you have us. we’re all here for you.”

Twilight thought about it and decided that it’s about time to face Midnight Sparkle and end the fears she had for good. Tiwlight shut her eyes before focusing on, trying to unleash her power again,

While this happened, the Digitrix's screen glowed a bright rainbow glow, much to thebsurprise of the others.


Within her mind, she found herself floating about in a space of nothingness, only to find her evil alter-ego Midnight Sparkle to manifest behind, cackling wickedly.

"You will never control me! I will always be a part of you!" she declared, transforming into a turquoise-colored aura that went into the Twilight's body.

Twilight whimpered in pain as dark, feathery wings emerged from her form as her eyes glowed ominously, followed by her glasses disappearing into the spectacle-like aura and the energy horn showing up on her forehead, sticking through her hair.

"NNNOOOO!" she screamed, about to lose control of herself.

"Fret not young one!" A deep masculie voice called, making her perk up and turn around to a strange figure resembling a humanoid bird.

"We heed the call to those who bare our might!" Another male voice spoke as six more figured appeared. One was wizard clad pruple robes and lavender crrystal armor holding a staff.

"We aid those who are in need our help!" A high-pitched voice spoke as a chid-sized creature appeared. It was hot pink in color with big blue eyes, floppy ears, small angelic wings, and a pink crystal hears on its midsection

"When the weak are in need, we anzwer their prayers!" A feline voice similar to Fluttershy's declared as another figur manifested. This one resembled a humanoid butterfly that was mostly yellow in color with flew pink marking on the wings and light pink fuzz on the arms and legs.

"Its time you've put this past trauma to rest!" A feline voice with a Scottish accent spoke as another figure appeared, this one resembling a pale gray horse clad in white armor with bright blue eyes, a floating aquamarine mane, and a fish tail with a tail fin of the same color.

"The time has come, child! To face your inner demon head-on!" A robotic male spoke as yet another figure manifested. This one was a robotic humanoid composed of armor made of multicolored crystal and having wheels for feet.

"We, the ancient heroes of the Armonía network, will aid you!" A gtuff feminine voice spoke as a final figure emerged. This one resembling a female anthropomorphic American Bison clad in attire reminiscent to those of the Native Americans and holding a tomahawk and shield.

"Who are you guys?" Twilight asked, dumbfounded by the newcomers.

"We are the remnants of ancient heroes ofnthe Armonía Network! A collection of Peaceful Sites in Cyberspace!" The bird man declared before bowing bis head. "I am Bontyoukan!"

"I am Merlidomus!" the wizard introduced with a nod.

"Hi! I'm Arros!" The pink creature spoke with a giggle.

"I'm Papilloma!" The humaold butterfly introduced with a brush of her upper arm.

"I'm Hippos! A pleasure, lass! " The horse spoke with a nod of her head.

"Spectride! At your service!" The robot introduced with a salute.

"And I am Comapache!" The Bison woman spoke with a bow.

"This fiend may be apart of you," Bantyouken declared with a smile, "But you are the one who is in charge!"

"You are a light, lass!" Hippos exclaimed, "A force for good!" she added.

"Yeah!" Spectride chimed in, "You can kick the darkness's butt!"

"We are here for you, just like your friends!" Arros declared with a nod.

"You and your friends bear our power!" Comapache chimed in. "And as such, we provide guidance!"

"We believe in you!" Papilloma said with a soft smile. "Just as your friends do!"

Twilight lookes to these mysterious figures, but she sensed that they were genuine and want to help. She smiles, becoming more and more inspired by their words.

"You are not the succubus named Midnight Sparkle!" Merlidomus spoke with a soft smile. "You are Twilight Sparkle!"

In a bright light, Midnight was expelled from Twilight's body, the demoness shocked beyond belief.

"What?!" Midnight gasped in disbelief. "What's going on?!"

"And now to purge this evil!" Bontyoukan declared before hisnfists were engulfed in flame! "PHOENIX TALONS!" Bontyoukan swiped his claws, sending a waves of fire at Midnight.

"NOX ARCANA!" Merlidomus roared our as he aimed his staff at Midnight, sending a blast of perplexed energy at her.

"CYCLONE WINGS!" Papilloma exclaimed as she fires twik tornados form thebeyebspots of her wings.

"BLEEDING HEART!" Arros cried out, firing a pink energy blast from the heart shape jewel on its chest.

"MOUNTIAN SPLITTER!" Comapache shouted as she raised her tomahawk, the blade glowed a bright orange before swinging it, sending a wave of orange energy at Midnight.

"ARCTIC BLAST!" Hippos cried out as her horn emitted a bright blue glow before firing a beam at Midnight.

"SPECTRUM STORM!" Spectride yelled as his arms sparked with multicolored electricity before firing the bolts to Midnight.

The combined attack struck Midnight, causing a tremendous explosion while Midnight shrieked in blistering pain. "NNNOOOO! This... cannot... be!"

"Now Twilight!" Bontyoukan said to tiwkight. "Deliver the finishing blow!"

With confidence in herself, Twilight emitted a violet aura that engulfed the area, causing Midnight to screech before disappearing into oblivion


Back in the real world, the purple light Twilight created within the bramble trap appeared, glowing woth such intensity that caused the vines snapped apart with the barricade beneath, as a figure zoomed out from it up into the air.

"What?!" Pendragon exclaimed din shock as Twilight flew to Gloriosa amd grabbed the geodes! "RELINQUISH THOSE AT ONCE, WENCH!"

"Come and get 'em then!" Twilight shot back before firing a firing a purple laser at Pendragon to knock him back. The crystals then emitted a glow before detaching themselves from each other.

They crystals then floated down to the respective Equestrian magic user one by one, spinning around as they hovered over their hands. Flashes of light emerged from them before they began to morph the clothes upon the girls, gifting them eight their own unique style of uniform.

Gaea, Pendragon, and their army were down right flabbergasted upon seeing this.

"No!" Rouge uttered in disbelief. "No way!"

"This cannot be!" Amarillo declared as the girls emitted a a bright glow of thsir respective color.

Pemdragon looks to the girls in disbelief, then looks to Firefox. "You!" Pendragon exclaimed in rage! "You are the cause of all of this!" Pendrgaon took a deep breath, but Firefox was ready to counter.

Firefox uppled his hands together and closed his eyes. "Rin! Pyo! To! Sha! Kai! Jin! Retsu! Zai! Zen!" Firefox chanted as each of his tails were engulfed in red flames with each word spoken, each one forming into the head of a dragon while Pendragon was wide-eyed in fear. "KYU TATSU NO KAGUTSUCHI!"

(AN: That's Nine Dragons of Kautsuchi in Japanese)

Both Firefox and The Mane 7 fired their respective attacks, resulting in a huge explosion that blew away the brambles first turning them in crystals and shattered into little green light balls floating down like snowflakes.

"Now that's an explosive victory!" Firefox said be hereverted back to Dustin. He then turns around to see Gloriosa on the ground, running to her.

"Glori." Dustin said, placing a hand on her shoulder. Gloriosa wakes up, and looks to see Dustin.

"Dustin?" Gloriosa asked, her tears watering before she wraps her arms around him. "Dustin! I'm so sorry!"

"It's alright." Dustin said reassuring ly, routing the gesture wholeheartedly. "It's alright. Thank God you're safe." The Mane 7 and Dazzlingnwatched with soft smiles at the scene.

"Pendragon!" Timber voice called out, making her turn to see Pendragon was laying on the ground, looking like he was in really rough shape.

"Oh no!" Gloriosa declared in worry as she ran to her brother's side. "Timber, how bad is it!"

"Really bad!" Timber stated as the others crowded to him. "Come on buddy... wake up!"

Pendragon fluttered his eyes open, his breath slowed as he looks to see both Timber and Gloriosa.

"G-Glori...osa...." Pendragon uttered weakly, a smile forming, "you live.... or have we all perished?"

"No... everything back to normal..." Gloriosa spoke, tears falling down her face. "Oh, this is all my fault! If I didn't touch those stupid rocks..."

"No..." Pendragon interrupted Gloriosa, "If anyone is at fault... tis I.... had I known this is what would result from..." Pendragon then coughed, wheezing heavily as Gloriosa and Tinber were starting to worry.

"Don't talk, Pen!" Timber said with a sad expression. "We've got to get you some medical help! The Leveau sisters can patch you up!"

"No need my boy... I'm b-beyond saving..." Pendragon uttered, wheezing still.

"Don't talk like that Pen!" Gloriosa said, struggling to hold her tears when she sees Pendragon starts to flutter his eyes closed. "No... Pendragon, don't you dare close those eyes! Don't you dare!"

As this happened everyone else present was starting to tear up from the sad scene unfolding, even Dustin and his friends were feeling pretty bad.

"Gloriosa... Timber... take... care of... yourselves...." Pendragon said bis final words before drawing his final breath, his closing for good. His body lost all color he had, his body slowly dissolving with green flakes floating away in a breeze.

Gloriosa covered her mouth in shock while Timber gasped. "No! No! Pendragon! PENDRAGON! DON'T LEAVE US!" Gloriosa cried out, tears falling down her face as she embraced Timber who sobs as well.

Fehng howls I sadness, Kraekan looks down in sorrow, the Leveau sisters embrace eachother in while crying, even the campers were teary eyed. Fluttershy hugged Pinkie, the Dazzlings embraced eachother, Snips and Snails were crying while Sweety Drops and Lyra held eachother sobbing, even Cestia amd Luna were devastated by the heartbreaking scene.

Dustin even looks down with tears in his eyes. Then suddenly the Digitrix's glowed a bright red in color and everyone looked to see the transparent form of Bantyouken appeared. Everyone looked on with both shock and confusion.

"Is that...?" Ciel asked, dumbfounded by what she was seeing.

"It is!" Rouge declared, just as shocked

"Bantyouken?" Twilight asked, making her friends look to her in confusion.

Bantyoukan sees the deceased Pendragon, whose body was close to being halfway dissolved, and proceeds towards him and Gloriosa got in between him and Pendragon.

"What are you going to do?" Gloriosa asked.

Bantyoukan looks at Ryuko and back to Pendragon's body and placed its hand on Pendragon's snout. Bantyoukan closed hisneyes as a single tear falls from his face and lands on Pendragon. And suddenly, Pendragon's corpse was enveloped in a red aura as the faded half of his body was restored, his color restored and now lighter as the sickly splotches on his body faded. Everyone watched in shock as Pendragon groaned, his eyes fluttering open.

Everyone was dumbfounded to see that Pendragon was resurrected, the collective sadness was replaced with joy.

"Gloriosa?" Pendragona asked in surprise.

"Pendragon..." Gloriosa uttered, a smile visible on her face before she and Timber hugged their friend. "PENDRAGON! THANK GOD!"

"It's a miracle!" Timber uttered, sobbing in joynalong side his sister. The Leveau sisters joined in on the embrace, followed by Kraekan, and Fehng joins in by licking at Pendragon's face.

Pendrgaon rises and examines himself. "I'm alive? And my Blight is gone? But... how...?" Pendragon asked when he took notice of Bantyouken, his eyes widened in shock. "Is that...?"

Bantyouken smiled fondly to Pendragon before looking to Dustin, nodding his head as he reverts into red energy and is sucked back into the Digitrix.

"You..." Pendrgaon uttered, looking to Dustin. "You saved my life..."

"I guess I did." Dustin replied perplexed with a shrug.

"Dustin...!" Gloriosa uttered in joy as she hugged Dustin tightly. "You're a miracle worker!" Timber then joined in on the hug.

Pendragon genuflects with his head bowed, and so does every other Digital Lifeform present. "My boy... it appears I have misjudged you." Pendragon spoke, looking to him army. "No. Me and my followers have all gravely misjudged you."

"We bed your forgiveness." Rouge spoke with a look of guilt, and her sisters shared the feeling.

"We are truly sorry for the hostilities." Amarillo said.

"We do not blame you if you and your allies are displeased against us." Ciel uttered in shame. "Our actions cannot be overlooked." Fehng whimpers as he too feels guilty while Kraekan twiddle two of his tentacles.

Dustin was surprised, unsure what to think. He looks to his friends, who only shrugged for they were just as unsure as he was. "Well..." Dustin looks to Pendragon, "I'm not one to gold grudges." Dustin then looks to Sunset, Aria, Adagio, and Twilight, who were smiling fondly at him. "Plus, I'm the kind of guy who believes in second chances."

"You did it!" Spike xheered before noticing the geides. "Whoa. Nice bling."

"What... What are these?" Applejack asked in awe as shsblooked at her gemstone.

"I'm not sure." Sunset replied with confusion. "But clearly we have some kind of connection to them."

"And not just the geodes, young one." A familiar voice before the geodes glowed whike the Digitrix's screen beeped profusely. Sudddbly, the geodes emitted a bright light as the figures Twilight saw earlier appeared.

"Whoa!" Flash uttered in awe.

"Awesome!" Rianbow declared with a smile.

"The Primordials!" Pendragon gasped in awe as he knelt in respect.

"The what?" Sunset asked in confusion. "Who are you guys?"

"As Pendragon said, we are the Primordials." Bantyouken declared with a nod of his head. "We were once legendary heroes that defended our home, the Armonía Network!"

"Armonía Network?" Applejack asked, quirw puzzled.

"Think of it as Cyberspace's equivalent to a planetary system." Merlidomus explained. "The Armonía Network consists of 7 Sites in total. Each one bing our respective homeland."

"Ok?" Sunset replied. "So, how'd you end up in these Geodes.

"Not the Geodes, dearie." Hippos spoke. "The Digitalismans."

"The Digitalismans?!" Dustin gasped in disbelief. "Those things I've aqcuired?!"

"Yes, indeed." Melidomus nods in response. "During our final moments, we've created the Digitalismans and imbued our essence into them. So that way those who wield them possess our power."

"We know not as to how they ended up in this world, unfortunately." Comapache said before she looks to the Geodes. "But somehow, the Digitalismans share some sort of connection to the geodes you now possess."

"Wait!" Twilight stated in realization. "Earlier, when you guys helped me in overcoming Midnight Slarkle, you said that you aid those who bare your might!" Twikight motions to herself and her friends. "Does that mean that you guys not only do you guys give Dustin an advantage, but us as well?!"

"Apparently." Merlidomus replied, scratching his chin. "Based on the connection between the Geodes and the Digitalismans, I'd say it's a possibility."

"I guess we'll find out in due time." Bantyouken said with a chuckle. "Until then, young warriors!" The seven digital guardians vanished.

"Well as I'll live I'm breathe." Allister uttered in amazement, smiling at the kids. "Looks like this trip was quite an interesting one."

"Indeed." Luna nodded in agreement.

"We're so sorry." Gloriosa apologized. "Pendragon and I only wanted this to be the best week Camp Everfree has ever had, and instead we've made it the worst. Maybe it's for the best that I'm losing the camp to Filthy Rich."

"It will be a shame to lose the only thing I have to remember your great grandparents by, Gloriosa." Pendrgaon uttered in sadness. "But I will cherish the memories I have made here."

"Wait! What?!" Adagio asked in shock. "You know her great grandparents?!"

"Do I know them?" Pendragon chortle. "Milady, I've known them for years! In fact, I was the reason this place was made."

"You?!" Dustin and Salazar asked, completely taken aback by thereveal.

"You mean that story of Gaia Everfree was actually real?!" Sonata asked."You're Gaia Everfree?!"

"No, not really." Timber answered with a chuckle. "That was all made up to cover for Gloriosa." Timber looks to Pendragon. "Though, there is one truth to that story. Amd that is something extraordinary led to Camp Everfree's founding

"Wait a second!" Dustin looks to Luna and Celestia with a skeptical look. "I'm starting to think there's a reason we're here."

"Well, this camp has meant so much to so many people, my sister and me included." Celestia admitted with a chortle.

"Why do you think we wanted you and the others to come here?" Luna chimed in. The young heroes were surprised, but they now have a problem.

"We can't let Filthy Rich take this place away!" Twilight declared. "If this camp meant so much to you two, maybe it meant as much to the other campers who came here in years past."

"And maybe we can get them to help save it!" Sunset chimes in.

"Uh... speaking of..." Allister said, making everyone look to him, as a familiar limousine pulled up the driveway.

"Filthy Rich!" Timber groaned, but Gloriosa placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Relax, Timebr. I..." Gloriosa said before looking to Pendragon and Dustin, "We got this."


Gloriosa was waiting for Filthy Rich to arrive, and he did.

"Hello Gloriosa!" Filthy Rich greeted with a wicked grin. "I assume you know why I'm here?"

"Why yes, I do." Gloriosa declared with scowl. "And I just want to tell you, you'll have to find another place to build your spa!"

"Beg your pardon?" Filthy Rick asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You heard me! Camp Everfree will nerver be claimed by you, you pig in clothing!" Gloriosa declared as Timber got beside her, the two glaring at him. "Now if you would be so kind as to leave before my associates chase you out!"

"What the... now see here!" Filthy Rich replied in anger. "I'll have you know that..."

"I'd do as she says if I were you, pal!" A deep voice said, catching Filthy Rich by surprise before he sees both Pendragon amd Indestructile looking down on him, makingbthe man bsck away in fear. "You've got until the count of three to hightail out of here before things get ugly real quick!"

"Uh...." Filthy Rich stuttered, sweating bullets and swallowing a lump in his throat. "On second thought.... keep the land!" Filthy Rich stated with a nervous laugh. "I'll take my business elsewhere! P-Pleasure doing business with you!" Amd with that, Filthy Rich got into the limousine and drove as fast as he could out of the place.

"And good riddance!" Indestructile said before changing back to Dustin, and Gloriosa kisses his cheek.

"So, what now?" Timber asked, and Pemdragon had a smirk on his face.

"I think I have an idea." Pendragon replied.
