Love's True Form

Chapter 2: Blinded by Lust

It was the crack of dawn when the alarms sounded throughout Ponyville.

"Ooh!" cried Pinkie Pie as she dashed outside. "Where's the party?"

"RAWRITY!" bellowed a deep voice.

Panic stricken ponies were running and screaming in terror as a massive, purple and green dragon made its way into town.

"What's going on?" asked rainbow Dash as she landed beside Pinkie Pie.

"If I were to guess," stated Pinkie Pie. "That's Spike all grown up again and going about a lust driven rampage through the town in search of Rarity."

"Huh?" asked Rarity as she approached the group. "Is that horrible monster really my little Spikey-Wikey?"

"That's what I said!" STATED Pinkie Pie.

"I need a closer look," stated Rainbow Dash before taking off towards the approaching dragon.
It wasn't long before Rainbow Dash was face-to-face with the massive dragon. It did indeed look just as Spike did shortly after the incident that happened after his first birthday in Ponyville. The only difference now was that he had wings and a strange necklace around his neck.

"RAWRITY!" Spike cried as he thrashed about. "RAWRITY!"

"Spike?" asked Rainbow Dash upon flying to face him eye-to-eye.

"RAWRITY!" he boomed as his maw opened wide and released a massive gust of wind. The force of his bellow sending Rainbow Dash back a few feet.

"No way that's Spike," stated Rainbow Dash as she soon found herself dodging the dragon's, grasping claw. "This calls for a Sonic Rainboom!"
Rainbow Dash flew high into the sky and narrowed her eyes down upon the dragon that was just now taking his first steps into Ponyville.
"Oh, yeah!" she cried. "You're going down!"
Rainbow Dash began her decent towards the ground at sound breaking speed. It wasn't long before she had formed the sonic cone that would ignite into her trademark, Sonic Rainboom.
"Okay, ugly!" she exclaimed as she aligned herself with the dragon. "Time to taste my awesomness!"
Rainbow Dash pushed for that last burst of speed she needed and, with a mighty explosion, performed the Sonic Rainboom right alongside the terrorizing dragon's, left cheek.

"GWAR!" he cried as the force of the Sonic Rainboom sent him crashing down onto his right side. This, unfortunately, took out a few buildings. However, more unfortunately, it didn't keep him from quickly getting back up.

Still fueled by the Sonic Rainboom, Rainbow Dash eyed up her target.
"Thirsty for more, huh?" she said. "How's about a little Buccaneer Blaze!"
The after effects of the Sonic Rainboom made it a snap for Rainbow Dash to swoop down and execute her awe aspiring move before the dragon could fully get to his feet.

"GRA-RAWR!" he cried as he was slammed with a move so epic that all he could see was a flash of light before feeling a massive pain to his snout.

The effects of the Sonic Rainboom had worn off. However, Rainbow Dash was still ready to do all she could to keep the approaching dragon from getting any deeper into the town.

"Yee-haw!" cried a familiar voice.

"Apple Jack?" asked rainbow Dash as she looked down to see her friend, along with Big Macintosh, approaching with ropes ready to do what was necessary to subdue the dragon.

"RAINBOW!" cried Apple Jack. "KEEP THAT MONSTER BUSY WHILE BIG MAC AND I TAKE IT DOWN!"

"You got it!" replied Rainbow Dash as she eyed down her target.

"RAWRITY!" cried the dragon as he faced down Rainbow Dash. He then let out a massive burst of green fire towards the pesky Pegasus.

"Whoa!" cried Rainbow Dash as she barely avoided the massive fire blast.

The dragon's mouth began to foam with fire as he focused his full attention entirely on Rainbow Dash.

"Bring it!" teased Rainbow Dash as she prepared herself to make a tornado. "You're not messing with the average Pegasus, you know."

The dragon was distracted, which allowed Apple Jack and Big Macintosh to position themselves in preparation to lasso and bring him down.

"Oof!" cried Rainbow Dash as something dark suddenly bumped into her. This threw her off balance and made her vulnerable to the dragon's attack.
"Ahh!" she screamed as she was enveloped in green fire. Within seconds, she was gone with nothing to show but a vapor trail that dissipated into the sky.

"RAINBOW DASH!" cried Apple Jack as she watched her friend get incinerated. This, of course, got the dragon's attention and he wasted little time in setting his sights on Apple Jack and Big Macintosh.
"YEOW!" screamed Apple Jack as she met the same fate as Rainbow Dash.

"NOPE!" cried Big Macintosh as he quickly was made the third victim of the dragon's flame.

"RAWRITY!" Spike cried triumphantly. As he did, three dark figures landed upon him. One turning into a perfect copy of Rainbow Dash, another taking the form of Apple Jack, and the last making itself appear like Big Macintosh.

"True love awaits!" cried the clone of Rainbow Dash. "Onward!"

"RAWRITY!" Spike cried as he made his way deeper into town. The Carousel Boutique clearly in his sights.
