//------------------------------// // Dragon for a Day // Story: A Medicine Cat among Ponies // by Kitsulestia //------------------------------// *Spike's POV* *Yawn!* Wow, I slept really well tonight. I wonder why. But then I felt something on me before I saw... Wendy. Wendy was snoring a bit. Heehee, maybe I should give her a bit of a wake-up call. I wrapped my tail around Wendy's before hugging her. Wendy yawns a bit. Wendy spoke "Mmm... Spikey-Wikey..." Heh, maybe the wake-up call needs one more touch. I kissed Wendy right on the lips with closed eyes and my arms around her waist before she kissed me back with her arms around my neck. Natsu spoke "Morning bro!" Wendy and I stopped as I deadpanned at Natsu. "Really dude?" Lucy whacks Natsu with a frying pan. Lucy spoke "Sorry about that Spike." "It's cool." I said as Wendy woke up with a smile. Wendy spoke "Besides, you and Natsu can join in, Lucy." Natsu spoke "That reminds me, I got a letter for Wendy and it's from Ember." Wendy asks "Really?" Lucy wrapped her tail around Natsu's. Natsu gives the scroll to Wendy. Wendy opened the scroll as Lucy knocked and pinned Natsu down. Wendy gasps "I'm an auntie now!!!" I soon had my back against a wall since I was really itchy and it wasn't from the call of the Dragon Lord. But as I was, I heard a shocked/scared scream from Twilight’s room. Lucy spoke "That makes no sense.... Twilight's a lycan." I looked out the window and froze in shock. “Uh… guys? You might wanna see this.” Lucy groans "First, it was Rarity... Now it's Twilight... What next, Rainbow gets turned into a dragon?" A female asks "Did something happen?" Blazing Heart showed up, and she was somehow turned into a dragon too! Azure crashed snout first into a wall since he was also a dragon. Azure spoke "OW!!!" Natsu spoke "Everyone’s suddenly a dragon!" Blazing asks "Hmm… I think a Longma friend of mine said something about an event like this back in my dimension. Are there any Chineighse creatures?" “From what I remember hearing Twilight read, so far there’s the Kirin. But we don’t know if there’s any Longma out there.” I answered. Blazing spoke "Then any Kirin that transformed into a dragon is where we start looking." Popping up suddenly, Flintfur spoke "Rarity and Spottedleaf are dragons again!" Blazing spoke "I can imagine that, and there might be a reason." Danyelle spoke "Let me guess, the year of the dragon has begun." Blazing asks "Yes, but how did you know?" Danyelle spoke "Lucky guess." Blazing spoke "Still, let's find a kirin transformed into a dragon." Azure had a silly grin on his face since he was a bit smitten with Blazing Heart. Blazing giggles "Leave the herd invitation proposal until after we're back to normal, blue blur." Azure spoke "Sure thing, kitty cat." We went to the Friendship Map as everyone showed up here, revealed to have been transformed into dragons. Strawberry was glancing about for her friend. And then I noticed Twilight’s dragon form. Much to the surprise of the others, Sleuth was a nocturnal gargoyle yet her alicorn features remained. Blazing spoke "What? Someone must've used magic." A voice spoke "Reality-bending, I may add." Discord appeared, looking like a dragon version of himself, but in to be honest, he didn't look very different at all. Twilight snickers "Someone better wake Goliath up." But then Sleuth suddenly turned to stone. Blazing spoke "It's still daytime, so whoever used that spell wasn't aware of the night gargoyles turning to stone during the day to recover their energy and heal themselves." Twilight carries the statue up to where Goliath's stone form was located, setting the stone from of Sleuth down beside him. Twilight snickers "Come night-time, Goliath's in for a big surprise." Blazing spoke "until then, we’ll need to find out what’s going on." Then Flaring Blade showed up, but she was transformed into a dragon. “Looks like the year of the dragon has started. Which means the spell’s in place for at least the first 24 hours.” Surprisingly enough, Erza didn't look any different. Erza spoke "Dragon hybrids like me don't have to deal with that sort of thing though." Natsu spoke "Same with purebred dragons." A pale pink dragon snout poked through the mirror that connected to the one in the Crystal Empire. Cadence asks "A little help here?" Twilight spoke "Oh. Right." Flaring spoke "*As Twilight helped Cadence out* There’s 12 Chineighse zodiacs, and the most amount of days it could last is 12, the Year of the Dragon usually lasts for the first 5 days, but it’s rare if the spell wears off after the first day of the year." Wendy asks "Barring half dragons and whatever Discord is... anyone can be affected?" Danyelle looked a bit more draconic than normal since she had dragon blood in her veins. Danyelle asks "And what about creatures that have dragon blood in the veins?" Natsu snickers "Uh bro, you might want to look in a mirror." Discord spoke "Looks like someone used another reality-bending spell." “Huh?” I asked, totally lost before I saw my reflection in a mirror. “I’M A PONY?!” Wendy was a Pegasus for some odd reason. Wendy spoke "This feels so wrong..." Discord spoke "Guess that second spell was a double-whammy." Various dragons scoff "Ya think?" Discord spoke "Hmm? I’m sensing something." A blue colored female Charizard crashes headfirst into a wall. Redux Danyelle spoke "That hurt!" Danyelle spoke "This has Potion Nova's hoofwork written all over it..." Twilight asks "Hold on, how could she get every single person in the world to drink a dragon transformation potion?" Danyelle tried to answer, but couldn’t, admitting that Twilight had a point. Rarity spoke "Unless it was in powder form..." A female asks "Why are you just assuming it’s me when I’m in the same situation as you are?" We turned around and saw Potion Nova, who’s a dragon too. Potion spoke "Besides, I would remember doing that if I did do that, but I didn’t." Danyelle spoke "If it wasn't you, then someone else must have.... Wait... SCORPAN!!! GET DEMONA'S STATUE OVER HERE NOW!!!" Twilight spoke "Hold on! We can’t just jump to conclusions. Maybe Blazing’s right about why everyone’s a dragon." Redux Danyelle groans "Charizard in my case..." Discord spoke "Odd, I’m sensing a chained Puck." Both Danyelles growl "You have GOT to be joking!" Discord asks "What?" A blue colored Moltres with glasses stepped out of a different warp ring. OC-verse Danyelle spoke "You think THAT's bad? Just look at me!!! I'm a freaking Moltres!" OC-Verse Twilight spoke "I said I was sorry!" OC-verse Danyelle squawks "That's the LAST time I trust you with a transformation spell Sparkle Butt! And you know what? SIT GIRL!!!" OC-verse Twilight was face down on the ground. OC-Verse Danyelle spoke "*Mumbling to herself* At least the last time with me." Redux Danyelle spoke "Least I got it easier." Lucy dropkicked River Tide at Ice Chill right as Redux Danyelle opened a warp ring to the Warrior-verse Chuddle Hotel. Lucy spoke "Nice follow up." Redux Danyelle spoke "Maybe I should pull that on my universe's Gray and Juvia." Danyelle spoke "Suggestion... Send them into a place that’ll really test their endurance against the heat or the cold." Redux Danyelle spoke "Much like my universe's Elsa, cold weather never bothers ice types." OC-verse Danyelle spoke "Right." Redux Danyelle giggles "But there is one thing I can agree on with my OC-verse counterpart... Gray's an ice brained stripper." Both Danyelle counterparts snickered at that. Danyelle giggles "Ice Chill's an icebrain though." Discord asks "Anyway, shall we go to finding Puck?" All three Danyelles spoke "We don't know where that jerk is." Discord comically fell onto his back at that. OC-verse Twilight "Finding that guy's like finding a needle in a haystack... A really big haystack." Danyelle spoke "She's got a point there Discord." But then I noticed storm clouds brewing. All three Danyelles started growling. OC-verse Twilight growls "That doesn't feel normal..." Discord spoke "Puck must be brewing up a BIG spell." OC-verse Twilight growls "If he attacks the Mewverse, Neoverse, Heartsverse and Genderswap-verse... All hell will break loose!" Discord spoke "Hold on! Sure, Puck is mischievous, but he wouldn’t go THAT far!" Rarity spoke "But that still doesn't answer for what he did to Sleuth." Discord spoke "No, something tells me he’s bound by someone." Redux Danyelle spoke "Can't be no worse than that ONE time where my friends had the wrong bodies." Danyelle spoke "Let's just find Puck so we don't find out." OC-verse Danyelle spoke "I'd rather not deal with a screaming unicorn since my clothes aren't fireproof." Rarity spoke "*AHEM!*" OC-verse Danyelle spoke "I was talking about my universe's Rarity, she's still a unicorn." Rarity spoke "Apologies." Natsu spoke "C'mon! Let's go!" Redux Danyelle spoke "I remember this one time where my universe's Rainbow and Applejack tried to have a drinking contest but I had to call it off before the two of them along with Sawk Lee got drunk." OC-verse Danyelle spoke "Tell me about it. *Shudder!*" We went off, looking for Puck. Redux Danyelle spoke "Of course, I had another mitten on the way but I didn't know at that time." Danyelle asks "Mitten?" Redux Danyelle spoke "Baby Mew." Danyelle spoke "Oh." Since the sun had gone down, Sleuth was the first one to wake up as the others follow. Sleuth spoke "You better not leave us behind." I then noticed that we haven't changed back yet. Blazing spoke "It hasn't been at least 24 hours yet, so we're still like this." Noble soon shows up with a young nocturnal gargoyle female. Sleuth asks "Uh Goliath? You okay?" As if fate would have it, the marks of the Mane Six along with two of the Danyelles as well as Spottedleaf's fur were glowing. Even Noble's mark, Sleuth's mark, OC-verse Twilight's mark and Redux Danyelle's tails were glowing. Noble spoke "Odd..." Danyelle spoke "Find Puck now, mission later!" Redux Danyelle spoke "StarClan's sake Warrior-verse me, you should know by now we CAN'T ignore a map summon!" "I'll handle Puck!" I declared. Twilight spoke "Not by yourself, you're not!" Natsu spoke "Don’t worry, I’ll help him. He’s my little bro after all." Igneel spoke "Oh no you boys don't." Wendy spoke "I’ll help him out too." Spottedleaf spoke "I'd rather not get set on fire by Torch if you got hurt Wendy." Lucy spoke "*Sigh* Don’t worry, I’ll help too." Nashi asks "Mama?" Lucy spoke "Don't worry, Nashi. I won't leave you." Nashi spoke "Want sibling." Natsu and Lucy were flustered. "Hehe, since Hearts and Hooves Day is coming up..." I smirked. Danyelle spoke "It's tomorrow actually." That only made Natsu and Lucy blush even more. Discord spoke "Found Puck! He's definitely chained up and taking orders from someone, a unicorn from the looks of it. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a criminal locked up by Sleuth." Redux Danyelle spoke "StarClan's sake... I want my nekomata form back!" The unicorn spoke "Not a chance. Puck! Take care of them!" Puck spoke " The creatures love a battle hearty, so does Puck; come on let's party! Weird and random stuff started coming out of the ground, heading right for us. Redux Danyelle roars "CHAOS SNARE!!!" Flintfur yowls "BLOOD CHAINS!!!" The unicorn was soon restrained and unable to move. OC-verse Twilight engulfs herself in fire, transforming to Twirama before roaring loud. But then the random stuff constrained us. OC-verse Korra and Redux Korra tag-team with airbending to blow the stuff away. Redux Sonic, OC-verse Sonic and the other airbenders team up to aid both Korras. Sleuth spoke "Should've known you'd be able to get out." The unicorn spoke "Officer Sleuth, you know you can't lock me up forever!" All three Danyelles spoke "Mess with the cat, you get the claws!" OC-verse Blaze, Redux Blaze and all of the other cats snarl at the unicorn. Twilight growls "You might as well give up punk, there's hundreds of us and only one of you." “Anyway, think you can help us, Puck?” I asked. Puck asks "Hmm… What would be in it for me?" Goliath spoke "…Freedom." Puck asks "*Smirk* Who am I to refuse such an offer?" Puck then started performing a spell. Puck: First the pony I’ll attend *Transforms Sleuth back to normal, despite being in dragon form after that* and now the dragons I will mend. *Transforms Wendy and I back to our normal dragon selves* If his efforts you commend, free Puck, let him homeward wend. Goliath grabbed the chains and snapped them in two, freeing Puck. Sleuth spoke "Bummer... I liked being a gargoyle..." Twilight asks "Oh, also, could you do something about the Night Gargoyles here so they can move during the day?" Puck noticed that as he vanished for a few seconds. “You want your Night Gargoyle friends here to be their gargoyle selves by night and not stone by day? So be it.” Puck then reappeared in the air. Puck: Fearsome creatures who would stay unchanged by the light of day, remain you thus throughout the night, and be thou flesh by dawn's fair light. Puck then vanished again, going who knows where. Redux Sonic spoke "What a weirdo." Noble spoke "But now that’s over, we have other business to attend to." Spottedleaf spoke in an unknown language. "Vocate venti fortunate, Ex ricae Oberonis, Et hic navis frugum regate, Ad orae Avalonis." The ones that were called by the map suddenly get teleported straight to Avalon. Goliath and Demona had gotten teleported with the group. Sleuth asks "Where are we?" Noble spoke "Avalon." To be Continued
