//------------------------------// // The Organization // Story: Dragon Chains 2 Zero Infinity // by The One With The Crystal //------------------------------// Staghorn stood at the door of the castle as he waited for his mother Chrysalis to return while at the same time keeping an eye on the six unconscious dragons. Though he couldn't help himself more thoughts about the situation began to run through his head like Spike is in Canterlot right now, so how can he be here? Where did those clothes come from? Who are these other five dragons? None of the questions had a good answer. Most of them didn't even have an answer. Then out of the corner of his eye he saw Chrysalis heading towards the castle. "So these are the six dragons I've heard about?" asked Chrysalis. "Yes ma'am. A couple of hours ago they appeared outside the castle. From what the guards said two of the teens were already out cold. The other four were trying to stay up as long as they could, but were also knocked out cold within a few minutes." said Staghorn. Before they could continue their conversation a surge of energy was felt in the air. As the magnitude of the energy began to rise Staghorn and Chrysalis's heads began to ache. "Where is this power coming from?" asked Staghorn. Looking around the area he soon found his answer. Two of the unconscious dragons seemed to have a golden aura around them. One was Spike and the other was the one with the yellow spine spikes. Soon the two dragons began to awaken as the energy began to lessen in magnitude. As the two dragons stood up with their eyes till closed Chrysalis and Staghorn stood back and watched the scene unfold. As Spike's eyes began to open his power started to suppress as well as Rubixen's. "Spike." said Rubixen. "Rubixen." said Spike. Before the conversation could continue Spike noticed Staghorn and Chrysalis standing a few feet away. "CHANGELINGS!" Spike yelled. His yelling was replied by Zero punching him in the back of his head. "My head hurts! I'm trying to sleep! I'm not a very good camper right now, so shut up!" Zero yelled holding his head. "Ummm. Well. Umm. Welcome to our home young dragons." said Chrysalis. "Why are you guys even here? Shouldn't you be half way across Equestria?" asked Spike. "Don't you know about the treaty?" asked Staghorn. "What treaty!?" asked Spike as he started to get more annoyed. "Let me explain something." said Poison as he began to sit upward. "And what would that be?" asked Zero. "In that cavern that we battled in was an item known as a gem-crystal. An item with both properties of gems and crystals, though the ones in the cavern were special." "Just like how black clothing absorb heat , these black gem-crystals absorb magic. From what I've gathered these gem-crystals when exposed to an extreme amount of force or power their inner magic is activated. With the combination of all the gem-crystals activating almost all at once their combined power must have blasted us into another dimension." Poison said. "Another dimension? I don't believe it." Spike said. "Well from what I'm getting from these coordinates and from what I say when the rest of the Dragon Chains were resurrected. I hate to admit it, but what Poison said is true. We are in a different dimension." said Zero. "Umm. Would you care to explain what you guys are talking about?" asked Staghorn. "Well since I don't see any energy signatures other than ours I guess we got sometime." Zero said. Zero told the two changelings about the history behind the Dragon Chains and how their adventures led them here. "And if we're correct Spike should have sent a four other Dragon chains to a dimension different from our own." said Poison. "I see now." said Chrysalis. "Well if you guys aren't going anywhere you guys can stay with Twilight. I'm sure she wouldn't mind." said Staghorn. "No thanks. We don't stay with the enemy." said Rubixen. "Whats wrong with you?" asked Spike. "What do you mean?" asked Rubixen (You defected over to Poison's team. He is evil. I can tell.) "What I do with my life is none of your concern Jade." "Plus your acting like a class 'A' jerk." said Spike "Garble get up we're leaving." said Rubixen Regretting that he was listening to Rubixen the angry dragon Garble arose from his slumber. Together the trio walked away into the Everfree Forest. "Should we be worried?" ask Chrysalis. "No. Those three don't deserve to be worried about." said Spike. A growl was heard and everyone flinched. "Sorry guys. I think that was my stomach. I haven't eaten since breakfast." said Zero. Everyone sighed in relief. Then a thought came into Spike's head. Crystal was still sleeping. "Zero help me put Crystal onto my back." Spike said. Helping Spike, Zero put Crystal on Spike's back. "Onward to Ponyville!" said the little dragon. "Wouldn't be better if Crystal was on one of our backs?" asked Staghorn. "And ruin this? I know you can feel it too." said Chrysalis. "I do feel it. I was just thinking out loud." As the trio walked to the town of Ponyville Zero started to get a little anxious. "Chrysalis?" he asked. "Hmm?" she said. "We've told you about our dimension and I was thinking that you could tell us about your dimension." suggested Zero. "I see that its fair. A couple of months back us changelings signed a treaty that would bring a peaceful life for ponies and changelings to live together." said Chrysalis. "How has that worked out for you?" asked Spike. "Its been good. Well besides the changeling war we had between some albino changelings and the near destruction of Ponyville." said Staghorn. Both the dragons looked at Chrysalis. "I can explain the changeling war, but you might want to talk to Twilight about the near destruction of Ponyville. As I was saying though." "When the peace treaty was signed there were a few laws that us changelings had to follow. For example. We can make a pony disguise, but we have to wear green amulets around our necks to signify that we are changelings." said Chrysalis. "Can you guys get jobs or you just work for no pay?" asked Spike. "We can get jobs. I believe one changeling by the name Flit made it into wrestling group called the Cloudsdale Crushers." said Staghorn. The group continued to walk until the reached the edge of town. "Well this is where we leave you guys. We have a meeting with Princess Celestia in a few hours and it takes a while to get to Canterlot." said Staghorn. "Okay see ya later." said Spike. "Why do I get the feeling that Spike is not too fond of us?" asked Chrysalis. "I guess he is still a little sore form the wedding." said Zero. "That was years ago. He is still mad about that?" said Staghorn. "It doesn't matter what dimension he is in. I don't know much about the wedding or what Spike was feeling that day, but Spike lets out more than he wants too. Even a blind pony could see that." said Zero. "Do tell." said Chrysalis. "Well. Spike says he doesn't know his born family, only Twilight's family since she hatched him. Soon I bet he got attached to Twilight's family just like her and when the wedding came he wasn't able to do anything, but hope for a miracle. It's alot to put on a baby dragon's mental health." said Zero. "Well I best be going. I don't want to make you guys late or anything." said Zero as he walked off. "Do you think they will find what their looking for?" asked Staghorn. "Somehow I know they will, but lets keep our minds on the task at hand. If we are not in within seeing distance of Canterlot those two will send a whole fleet of Royal Guards to come and get us." said Chrysalis. As the trio entered the town of Ponyville they could see that some reconstruction was still under way. As the trio made their way deeper into the town more and more ponies began to get suspicious. Soon the whole town knew about the trio of dragons. A unicorn officer stepped out in front of the trio. "You three changelings. Why don't you have your amulets?"asked the unicorn officer. "We are not changelings." said Zero. "Yeah yeah and I'm not a unicorn stallion about to lock you three up until you confess or until your Queen comes to bail you out." said the officer. "Okay we will come quietly." said Spike. "Okay just follow me to the station. I might even let you guys go early for good behavior. I say about four hours with a fine of..." as the officer kept on talking Spike charged his powers into his right arm while Zero opened his wings. Zero took off as fast as he could as Spike stretched out his arm and grabbed onto a nearby building flinging himself into the air. "Hey! You guys get back here!" screamed the officer. "Should we go back? That officer seems mad." Zero said barely keeping a straight face. "Naaah. I'm sure he will be alright." said Spike. A few yards behind them the officer was coughing and losing the ability to keep running. "I'm getting to old for this." he said as he went back to the station to call for back up. "Where are we heading again?" asked Zero. "Just keep looking for a really big tree with windows." said Spike. Soon the two found the tree that Spike calls home. Rushing through the door and closing it behind them the two were finally able to rest. Spike gently placed Crystal on the couch of the library and called for Twilight. "Twilight!" he yelled. Zero grabbed a book from a shelf that he had not read before and began to read it. With the sounds of hooves coming down the stairs. Spike prepared for what was about to happen. "Spike is that you? You just left for Royal Business you can't be back this earl......." Twilight stopped her sentence upon seeing the different clothed Spike, an asleep Crystal, and Zero reading a book while waving to her. "You have one minute to explain yourselves. NOW!" Twilight commanded. Spike began the whole story of leading up to their arrival here. It took a few minutes before Twilight could respond to what she just heard. "And what makes you think I'm going to believe all of that?" asked Twilight. "Well from what we've heard you've been through you can't say that you don't believe." said Zero. True. This dimension's Twilight had been through a lot lately and was just about to recover from the whole ordeal. "Well you got me there. I'm not saying that I'm trusting the story you just told me, but I will believe it. For now at least." said Twilight. "Okay good. Now, can I please get something to eat." Zero pleaded. "We have left over pasta if you want any." said Twilight. Rushing towards the fridge Zero found the pasta he was looking for and began making his lunch. "So can you tell me more about these.......Dragon Chains?" asked Twilight. Then transforming out of her ring form and into the unicorn she likes to be, Jade made herself known. "Why tell you when we can show you." she said. Twilight was awestruck. "Wow." she said. "Mommy. What's going on down there?" asked a voice from upstairs. "Mommy? Twilight I didn't know you had a foal. So where is the lucky stallion?" asked Zero after he finished a bowl of pasta. Twilight's face turned from lavender to a bright shade of red from embarrassment. "I didn't.......... you........ I..... wasn't...........its complicated!" said Twilight. Hearing another set of hooves coming down the stairs this time they found a little alicorn filly with a black coat, a dark purple mane, slit blue pupils and a shield cutie mark. Spike nearly yelled again at the site of the filly, but Zero covered his mouth before he could do so. "Yell or scream again while I still have this headache and I'll hit you so hard across your face your going to be seeing stars for a week." threatened Zero. "Yes I know Spike. This may look like it, but she is not who she looks like. This is Nyx." said Twilight. "Mommy didn't Spike leave for Royal Business at Canterlot?" Nyx asked. "She looks just like..." Spike couldn't get the word out because Twilight shook her head really fast. "Nyx did used to be her, but when she was born from a spell it left her uncorrupted by her past's evil ambitions. She was innocent for a time at least, but thats all in the past right Nyx?" said Twilight. "Right." replied Nyx. As time went on into the night the group didn't notice what was going on outside the library. Waiting in the darkness of the night. Jade wanted to get some beauty rest so she turned back into her ring form. "So are you guys sure your going to be able to capture them." asked the officer from earlier. "We are sure sir. Those three won't get away, but they will be coming with us along with those inside the residence." said a stallion in a white trench coat. "What?! That wasn't part of the deal. You guys were suppose to help me capture those three changelings then turn them into the Royal Guard." said the officer. "There has been a change of plans." said a mare in a white lab coat. Using a bat that the stallion had under his coat he knocked out the officer with a quick blow to the head. "And your not part of those plans." said the mare. While inside the library Spike was finishing showing Twilight and Nyx his Magista Minor. "Cool it's like a whole universe, but in super, ultra small form." said Nyx. "I can do a Magista Major, but it takes too much time and energy." said Spike. While Spike was talking to Nyx Twilight let her curiosity get the better of her as she began to move her hoof closer towards the Magista Minor. Her hoof edged closer to the sun and closer and closer. Until she made contact. Suddenly with all her energy and magic was drained in an instant as she fell to the ground. "Oh I also forgot to tell you that these things can absorb your energy and magic, don't worry though from what I've seen it only drowsiness and lack of magic with stop in an hour or two." said Spike. Then they heard a yawn. "Aaaaaaah. How long was I out for?" said Crystal. Zero and Spike smiled at the dragoness. "Well hello Sleeping Beauty. Did you sleep well?" asked Spike barely keeping his face straight. "Yes I did thank you." she said. "Oh my gosh I can't take it anymore. Crystal look at your hair." said Zero. Levitating a mirror over to the dragoness thanks to Twilight, Crystal found that her hair was all a mess. Then almost on cue the door busted open and Crystal scream with both fear and the fact that her hair was ruined. Soon the stallion and mare rushed through the doorway. The mare shot two pellets at Spike and Zero from a wooden tube. With the pellets hitting their targets they popped upon impact and sent a vapor gas into the air. "This smells funny." said Spike. "Do you actually thing that this could........do.....any............damage?" and with that Spike was sent off to dreamland. Followed by Zero. The stallion shot three pellets from a tube of his own. All three of the pellets hit the stunned Twilight, Nyx, and Crystal. Each of them falling asleep within seconds. "Sleeping gas. Works everytime." said the stallion. The mare rushed over to the two dragons and tried to remove their rings, but upon taking off Zero's a powerful magic energy source was revealed. Powerful enough to bring the two ponies down to their knees. "Drop the ring!" said the stallion. The mare did as she was told and dropped the ring. The ring teleported back onto Zero's claw and the magic energy subsided partially. With their part of their plan 'A' gone the two worked quick and managed to set up some equipment. The the equipment was a circular disk big enough to support four bodies that was hooked up to a motor. "Are you sure they won't be able to track us?" asked the mare. "The guys back at H.Q said that that motor had enough power for two teleportations. They hasn't been wrong before so they should be wrong now." said the stallion. The stallion dragged the bodies of Twilight, Spike, and Nyx onto the disk first along with him. Pressing a button on the middle of the disk the motor activated, but silently. Then the four disappeared in a flash of light. After that the mare pulled Zero's body and Crystal's and pressed the button. Awaiting for the teleport sequence to kick in the mare saw the officer crawl toward the door with. The back of his head was bleeding from the blunt force of the bat hitting him in the head. "The Organization would like to thank you for your generous donation. Please contact us again," she said smugly as she was teleported away. "Dang it. Too late. Man we should have more police forces in this town." said the officer before he dropped dead from the loss of blood.
