//------------------------------// // Chapter 20: Ice shows and spell backfires // Story: The Last Human // by Blackdragn18 //------------------------------// This chapter and the next few were inspired by JackTheEpic. It's pretty swell. You know when you think guy time you get the idea of doing something manly or interesting not THIS! Today Spike came to me and asked about hanging out. I had nothing better to do so why not. We are right now at a show on ice you know the really boring girly shows where they dance and skate around Twilight has really screwed him up. After that show I was able to get him to a fight. I find them dull since I have done way crueler deadlier things. However, it is manlier than an ice show. He really got into it when one of the unicorns bashed an earth pony with a chair. By the end of our day he was already acting more like a male dragon. A few more therapy sessions and we should have a real full-fledged guy. Life is becoming better. Cadence and I are getting along better since the whole food incident is behind us and we are becoming friends. While we may not be best friends but we are getting closer. You know may as well get along with the ponies you live with. Except Blueblood I still hate him. I wonder what this is all about. So Celestia and I were sitting in the throne room talking about adding an extension to the Canterlot archives when Spike came in. He said Twilight wanted me and Celestia to come to her room immediately. When we got there Twilight was standing in the middle of her room with a book Shiny and Cadence were already there. When she heard the door open she looked up at us. “Good Spike found you two.” “Twilight, what is this all about?” Celestia asked. “It’s really exciting Princess! I found a spell that will be able to give anypony the abilities of a dragon!” “That is interesting let’s see it.” Celestia said sounding genuinely interested. “Right away Princess. Spike.” She looked towards the purple dragon. Spike ended up walking towards her. Then Twilights horn started to glow the aura surrounded Spike then her. You know honestly I am interested but I don’t see the applications of giving a pony the abilities of a dragon. Suddenly Twilights horn started to become surrounded by a purple sphere. Twilight looked nervous. “Oh no!” Celestia looked at her also looking a bit nervous. “Twilight what’s wrong?” “I’m not sure Princess but I think the spell is about to.” *Bang* there was an explosion that sent us all flying. I crashed into one of the bookcases the impact knocked me out. “Ugh. What?” I opened my eyes. I was under a pile of books. I dug my way out and looked around Twilight’s room was completely scorched. One of her book shelves was knocked over and some books were scattered across the room. As I got up I heard a groan. I looked to my left and saw a white lump on the floor. I ran over to it “Celestia!” I rolled her over and gasped. Celestia was totally different she looked like she was part dragon. Her wings had changed to dragon wings, her flowing mane was the same but there were pink spines sticking out they also ran along her whole back. Her tail was now solid and white with a flowing tip that was the same color as her usual tail. On her head she had two pink horns that stuck up and then curled back slightly. Her normal horn was still there but it was more jagged. Her hooves had turned into clawed feet and her fur was white scales. I put her down and headed over to what looked like Shiny. I went to investigate him. Similar to Celestia he was a dragon pony thing. His mane was the same but he had blue spines along his back similar to Celestia. His tail was long with a white furred tip similar to his normal tail. The rest of the features followed Celestia’s trend just shiny style. He also still had his armor. When I found Cadence she was like the other two. Dragon wings, dark pink spines, pink scales instead of fur, jagged thicker horn, and long tail with a tip of fur similar to her old tail. The last was Twilight I found her on top of her bed with Spike sitting next to her also conscious. Her appearance was following the others. Her overall shape was same as her normal body, her horn was larger and jagged still sticking out of her mane, her hooves had become clawed feet, her tail was long with her tail hair covering the end, and she also had two dark purple horns that went back. Her spine was lined with purple spikes. All of them still had their cutie marks in the same place on their bodies. “So, Spike should we just wait till they wake up?” “Sure.” “You have to admit it will be funny to see their reactions.” “Ha yeah I guess so.” It has been about 4 hours since the accident it is currently about 7 p.m. Well Spike and I were sitting in Twilight’s room I was dozing off with Spike asleep on by stomach. We had put the four pony dragons on Twilight’s bed. Just as I was about to fall asleep Twilight began to stir. “Where am I?” she sat up and yawned I noticed she had sharp teeth now she then looked around when her eyes landed on us I noticed her eyes were still purple but more reptilian. I knocked Spike off my stomach and stood up. “Hey Twi how do you feel.” She looked at me quizzically for a minute before responding. “Well I do feel a bit strange,” She then moved a hoof claw to her face. “Aagh! Wha..what happened to my hoof!?” “Yeah funny story, that little spell of yours backfired and now you, Celestia, Cadence, and Shiny are all well dragonponies.” Just then the other three began to wake up. So after explaining it again to the other three they all glared at Twilight. After a very uncomfortable three minute silence Celestia spoke. “Twilight did you test the spell before you used it with all of us around?” “Umm no.” Twilight then lowered her head.Well after another awkward silence with them all again looking disappointed in Twilight I got bored and decided to change where this was going. “Ok guys Spike and I have a plan to fix this.” All the dragonponies turned to me. “Ok so Spike and I read through that book of hers but we found no cure.” They all glared at me. “Listen though, Spike and I figured if we went to the archives we could all look for something that may include the cure.” All of them agreed however Celestia suggested that we start the search tomorrow.
