"Okay Spike! Just calm down! CALM DOWN ALREADY!" he yelled to himself as he raced towards the direction of the roar, "I mean, yeah, it is that kind of roar, but what are the chances!?"
As he got slightly past the library, still a ways ahead of where Fluttershy lived, he saw a familiar but unusually fast pink and yellow blur closing in on him.
It was Fluttershy, and she kept screaming even as she flew past him without noticing, "Dragon! Dragon! Big, purple dragon, AGAIN! Dragon!"
Spike's heart raced even more, but he raced his denial even more so, "Okay, still nothing to worry about! I mean, it's just Fluttershy! She probably saw a photo of me or some-"
The first thing he heard, was a massive wind, bellowing from where the Everfree came.
The cottages creaked and cracked, sending ponies to look out their windows, the ominous feeling beckoning.
Then he saw her.
In the distance.
In the sky.
And instantly knew that what he did with the Wishing Bone, produced a most cataclysmic mistake.
A giant silhouette of a lithe dragoness up in the sky, creating a huge shadow, covering nearly the entire ground where Spike was.
She glided down, and down, and her massive frame, as large as any full-grown dragon and landed in a distance from the Library, landed without care, cracking the fragile pavement below.
Panic set in, and ponies began to scream and run away, echoing Fluttershy's words.
Spike hid at a corner of a cottage, and could see it clearly as it was standing on its hind legs: it was an enormous but lithe purple dragon, with darker purple spines with massive wings that she folded back down.
But most horrifically, Spike could not see Twilight in that massive frame.
Sure, the scales were the same color, but what he saw from a distance, in his fellow dragon's reptilian and cold eyes, was utter contempt for everything else, and greed all for itself.
...what have I done? thought Spike in horror.
Then, the dragoness turned it's huge and sleek head and saw that huge water tank that Spike once destroyed and for the matter, Twilight herself once used to banish the Ursa Minor.
She eyed it not with juvenile glee, but with a dangerous determination.
With four heavy feet and a smoky growl, she stomped her way through, not even looking where she was going, crushing food-carts and nearly trampling ponies along the way.
Wrapping her long whip-like tail around it, she ripped the water tank right out, once again flooding Ponyville with its reservoir and creating even more havoc.
She raised her head high, sniffing the air, and moved once again.
All whilst Spike looked on, keeping a close watch but a safe distance, but most importantly, still too much in a daze and panic to have any thought in his young mind.
"SPIKE!"
"Aarrgh!!" he screamed, and turned around to see a very terrified Rainbow Dash and a very worried Applejack.
"Oh thank Celestia yer' alright!" said Applejack and held his shoulders tight, "Now ah' know yer' scared now, pardner, but where's Twilight? We need her A.S.A.P!"
"Yeah!" added Rainbow Dash, "We need the big guns for this one, this one doesn't look like it's messing around at all!"
Spike's mind was at a flurry, the clock in his head ticking and tocking, as his friends looked to him for help... and all he whispered was, "I don't know..."
"What!?" demanded Rainbow, "Whaddya' mean you don't know!? You both live in the same tree!"
The screams intensified. No roar from the dragoness, yet.
"Look, she just went out in the morning, okay!?" yelled Spike to himself, "I haven't seen her since!!"
Suddenly, the trio heard a familiar, high-pitched and shrill scream close by.
"Rarity!!" the trio yelled, and headed straight for Carousel Boutique.
It was a short gallop away, and they saw the dragoness ripping the Boutique with its bare claws, clawing further and further into it.
And inside, they saw a desperate and disheveled Rarity, screaming at it and whacking it with her rolls of heavy textiles.
"STOP! DESTROYING! MY! HOME! MY! MOTHER! IS! COMING! SOON!" she yelled desperately with each hard whack.
It didn't seem to phase her at all, but once Rarity whacked the dragoness right on the snout, that was when she stared most foully at Rarity.
And Rarity saw the pure, deadly malice in its cold eyes, and roared.
With green fire.
All ponies who saw it froze in terror at what they saw.
And when the flames died down, they couldn't believe their eyes.
Everything the flame touched was frozen. Blue ice covered the floors, the wall and even Rarity herself, her terror for all to see.
The dragoness raised her claw.
"No...!" whispered Spike in horror, running to save his Rarity, but Applejack grabbed him and turned him away from the imminent horror.
But her claw did not smash upon Rarity; instead, a huge treasure chest broke wide upon with a thunderous thump, revealing a hoard of shining gems.
The dragoness cast a wicked smile, and scooped up the gems into the water tank, and proceeded away.
Spike broke free from Applejack's grip, rushed to the frozen Rarity and very carefully blowed his own green flames to thaw her out. Rainbow Dash catches the still conscious but still shocked Rarity.
"Oh my, I thought I saw my life flashing before me!" she commented in a daze, "But it turns out it was just the ice over my really large eyes!"
"She's okay!" added Rainbow Dash.
"Oh, I'm so glad you're alright, Rarity!" exclaimed Spike with a hug, which Rarity daintily returned back.
"Spike, why did that dragon blow green fire?" asked Applejeack worriedly, "And why was it able to make ice!?"
"How should I know!? I've never seen another dragon that could do that!" he insisted. But secretly, he had a terrible hunch as to why Twilight could do what she did.
"AAAARGHHH!" it was another familiar scream.
"That's Pinkie Pie!" yelled Rainbow, "C'mon girls, we gotta' go help her!" And she flew with Rarity still hanging on her forehooves, whilst Spike got onto Applejack.
Mr and Mrs. Cake were busy as usual, tending to their twins, Pumpkin and Pound Cake, and also tidying up their new shelf. It sold Mother's Day cards, flowers and assorted candies for the slightly forgetful clients (Twilight and Spike came to mind).
Sure they heard that huge roar a few moments ago and there was even some screaming, but there was always something roaring and screaming in Ponyville and their family have weathered the storm plenty of times.
But what does get their attention however, is when Pinkie Pie is upstairs stomping up in the above level, especially since her mother, Mrs. Pie, was there also.
"Huh, what do you think Pinkie and Mrs. Pie are doing up there, honey bun?" asked Cup Cake.
"Not sure, but she sure does sound-" but before Carrot cake could finish his words, Pinkie was already racing down the stairs with her mother up in her hooves.
"SORRY-I-WAS-SO-LOUD-BUT-I-LOOKED-OUT-THE-WINDOW-AND-IT-WAS-A-DRAGON-AND-WE-GOTTA-GO-GO-GO-GO!" screamed Pinkie rapidly as she also scooped up Cup Cake and Carrot Cake on one hoof, stuffed them into a pram, stacked her mother on top of them, then very gently placed the now excited twins in Mrs. Pie's hooves.
And she wheeled them right out Sugarcube Corner, smashing through the door in the process.
And then Cup Cake said, "Pinkie! What is the matter with you!? Why-" Then she saw the dragoness, "Oh, a giant purple dragon ready to destroy our home again, good call,"
Carrot Cake fainted again.
Twilight stomped almost arrogantly towards their home, and the other three ponies (plus Spike) got there just in time to witness the dragoness pull off a new trick: she blasted a very thin, very concentrated beam of fire, barely a pony's breadth, at Sugarcube Corner, crudely cutting out a large hole.
"Is this what you and Pinkie meant by 'one of those days', Cup Cake?" asked Mrs. Pie, her tightly wound bun now a little frazzled, due to Pumpkin Cake chewing on it.
"Think today is particularly bad," commented Cup Cake.
Twilight reached deep into the bakery and her prize turned out to be the shelf with all the cards and flowers and chocolates on it.
As she was about to proudly store it into her 'baggage', she was met face to face with a very angry Rainbow Dash.
"Alright, I've had just about enough with your fancy fire and wanton destruction! Drop the stash and get outta' town NOW!!" she ordered.
Twilight, stared at her, then raised an eyebrow, smirked, and blew out a gust of ashy smoke at the pegasus pony, sending her tumbling away.
"WAAAAH-AH-AH-AH-ARGHH!" she screamed as she flew halfway across town.
"Rainbow's got the right idea, girls, we gotta' high tail outta' here!" Pinkie exclaimed, and led the group away from the menacing beast, still strolling her family away.
Now, Twilight would've went on with her business as usual, but then, she smelled something, almost a someone, almost. A familiar and mysteriously comforting scent, something useful, and small.
A final sniff in the air confirmed it; she looked down to her right and saw a bunch of ponies running away from her... including a baby purple dragon riding on top of that prickly white unicorn.
"BREY...BEY..." struggled the dragoness, not used to moving her vocal cords but managed to squeeze out in a reverberating, raspy, female growl, "BABYYY DRAGON...!"
Rarity's ears pricked in shock as she ran, "Did that monster just say 'baby dragon'!?"
Spike turned to look at Twilight; was there some Twilight still left in her completely altered form!?
All Spike saw was that the dragoness launched a small, but deadly fast fireball right at them.
"Aargh!!" screamed Spike, "Hard left! Hard left!"
Everyone immediately took a sharp corner to the left past some cottages.
And so did the fireball.
Before anyone could react, the fireball homed in right on Spike.
He would've screamed, but the fireball enveloped him completely, and for a few seconds, all he saw was green fire.
What everypony else saw was that Spike got transformed into the very kind of smoke trail that he himself uses to send Princess Celestia letters.
Rarity shrieked and tried to grab her little dragon, but all she got were little hoof-fuls of smoke.
Suddenly, the dragoness unfurled her massive wings and took to the air. The little smoke trail followed suit, flying towards her head.
Rarity and the others could just barely make out that Spike popped out of the smoke and landed onto the monster's head and is now hanging on for dear life on her top spine. She then flew towards Golden Oaks Library.
"SPIKE-WIKEY NO!!" screamed Rarity, wanting to chase after the dragoness.
"Hold on there, sugarcube!" said Applejack, stopping her with her hoof, "We can't just rush in willy-nilly like this! That thing'll roast us, ice us, or worse!!"
"Are you saying we leave that she-beast alone with Spike-Wikey!?"
"Ah'm sayin' that whatever that dragoness wants ta' do, it doesn't seem ta' involve hurtin' Spike!" insisted Applejack decisively, "So it's best we regroup with the others, put all the mothers out of harm's way, and have a plan ta' fix all this!!"
Then Pinkie Pie brought up an interesting point, "So then, what does that beastie want with Spiky?"
