                        CHAPTER 39
How to Fight a Dragon

Shining Armor and Twilight appeared in a forest with shouting nearby. “We must go help them, we don’t know what condition they're in right now!” Twilight yelled while running in the direction of the shouting. Twilight and Shining Armor stood there looking for a weakness on the dragon. They heard running coming from an area they couldn’t see. Once Wolf Tongue and his army came into to view the dragon had already directed its attention to them. Twilight focused on the dragon as it lifted its head, and started to let out fire. She started to cast the spell directly when the flames collided with the soldier’s armor in the front, and started to push the flames back. The dragons roared in frustration, and started to lift off. Twilight redirected her attention to the dragon, and started to cast a spell. No matter how hard the dragon tried it couldn’t lift off due to this spell. “Shining, cast your protection spell” Twilight said struggling to keep the dragon on the ground. Shining Armor started to cast his spell, until a small group of changelings came up from behind, and knocked him out. Twilight turned around to see seven changelings behind her, she couldn’t keep her spell going. She needed someone else to help her. “Help, they knocked him out. HELP!!” Twilight yelled hoping that her friends would hear her. Rainbow Dash darted toward Twilight’s scream for help, and ended up flying straight into net that was set up perfectly for her. Fluttershy was caught by a small fish net, and the other just got caught by the changelings themselves. 

“Bring them to me one by one, they didn’t expect us to be so powerful. They thought of us as weaklings, who is the weakling now?” The Queen shouted at the six of them. “Where are the others, we had more with us. Did you capture them to? I don’t think so, if you hadn’t been so foolish to only capture us six instead of the whole group of armored pegasi behind us you would probably have more information about whatever you’re seeking.” Twilight said with some anger behind her voice. The Queen simply laughed, and said “You see all I was seeking was revenge against those who humiliated me in front of one of my worst enemies. I don’t need any sort of information about that. I have you six right here in front of me do i really need to capture those others to get to you? I don’t think so, now you all with be shown to your new rooms that you will spend the rest of your lives in. Just wait for the endless torture of my minions draining your love until you're all depressed to the point life isn’t living anymore.” After this statement the Queen started to laugh again evilly, and signaled for a few changelings to move the group of six, but they didn’t move. Twilight walked forward, and said “What is this do you expect us to go down so easily?” The Queen stared at her, and said “Well what are you going to do stare me to death? I don’t think that will work out for you so well, now go where my changelings are directing you, or i could do something a lot worse.”
