	I woke early enough to get to Sweet Apple Acres before anyone in town left their homes, leaving a note for Fluttershy I flew to my destination. I arrived just as Big Mac was coming outside their house, Looking up at me he turned back and entered the house, a second later I landed on the porch and knocked three times. Big mac answered the door "... Ah thought ya were kiddin."

"Nope, I never joke about a job." I stated with a stoic impression on my face "Besides, what would I be if not a Dragon of my word?" I noticed a blur in the background, with the wrong proportions to be equine. "What the hell was that?"

He started to sweat as his pupils dilated "Uh... nuthin." He then tried to slam the door, failing when my hand was in the doorway. I pried the door open just to get launched backwards. Standing I saw an all-too-familiar human looking at me with rage in his eyes. He walked off the porch and half way to me, and started glowing blood bed.

What the hell, I thought he was vaporized! What the hell is RED doing here?!?! I rolled out of the way just in time to dodge a column of blood red fire. Wait a damn second I'm half dragon, doesn't that mean fire won't hurt me? Just as this thought hit, so did a large fire ball. I stood back up, shirt incinerated, scales smoking. He charged at me before I could move, grabbing me by the throat, the air around my neck literally exploded catapulting me high into the air, but I didn't fall; once I got to a good distance, I unfurled my wings.

"C'mon, I just wanna play!" his Russian accent cutting into his speech, I heard a small snap, then the air around me exploded dropping me from the air. I Laid there until he walked up to my side, leaning in "Bʹyusʹ ob zaklad, vy dumali, tolʹko drakony mogli ispolʹzovatʹ ogonʹ!" (I bet you thought only Dragons could use fire!) Just as he finished I Quickly grabbed him by the throat and slammed him into a tree, then getting hold of him I took to the sky. Just as I got high enough I tossed him up catching him by the back of the head, we went into a nose dive, I flapped my wings to fall faster. We smashed the ground in a loud explosion. when the dust finally cleared we were laying in a crater half the size of Fluttershy's living room, I noticed Applejack run up to the edge of the crater, then slide down to where RED was and helped his up. "Thought you could kill us both with that kamikaze." I then stood and walked up to him looking as though everything he hit me with did nothing "What in the hell kind of dragon are you?!?!" I removed a small object from my pocket.

"This should make you remember me, seeing as you finally realize we can't kill each other." I held my hand out, and he just stared at what was in my hand; His lucky zippo lighter, A silver lighter with an upside down spade on the sides, carved into the center of the spades was a circle with three bars through it, making an 'A' in the center of the circle. I flipped the lid making it ignite, a crimson flame dancing on the node.

"Dimitri, who else is here?" he quietly asked.

I shut the zippo and tossed it to him "PK, and Echo. If you want to know anything else, ask her-" I pointed to Applejack, making her move half behind RED "-where Fluttershy lives." Before he could say anything I disappeared in a cloud of neon blue static.







I reappeared in the middle of twilight's library "Yo Twi, you here?" I asked loudly.

"Dimitri?!? ... Yeah I'm here, just a minute!" I heard frantic rustling sounds from up stairs.

I noticed a curtain move, but no windows were open "Echo, front and center, cloak off." he appeared in front of me looking like he was beaten by a cloth bat. I smirked and leaned close "You think your sly? I can smell the shame on you, and in the middle of the day too." I whispered. he went invisible as his face went scarlet.

"What's up Dimitri? What do you need?" She asked.

"Nothing, your friend, Applejack might be coming to ask you about me."

"Why?"

"She'll tell you if she deems it important."

"O-K."

I then teleported out, high above her library and started to glide to flutters' cottage. When I could see it I also noticed a mail carriage moving away, fast.I panicked and teleported to the cottage. The door was kicked in, and Luna was covered in bruises and unconscious. I teleported to Fluttershy's bedroom door, it was destroyed. I then warped to the location in the sky that I hand left from, and followed the carriage, until it stopped in the center of Ponyville. two stallions exited and the two who were pulling and unhooked themselves, and removed a large box, and took it down an alleyway. I shot towards the ground, landing hard at the entrance, to kick up enough dust to cover me, and sprinted into the alley, stopping halfway o assess my situation.I looked around the alleyway and noticed one door, it was made of an old rusty Iron, I then walked up to the door, stopping and resting my mythril arm on it, feeling for vibrations. My arm ignited I'm going to destroy them! I could feel my adrenaline pumping faster and faster as I got angrier.
