The van pulled up to the golden oaks library and in a fashion that could be described as someone not too much in a hurry, Slade casually stepped out and went to the door, making a few grunts of annoyance to himself as he found himself somewhat tall for the door. Crouching down a bit, he would be able to enter with minor issues.
"So... what are you two up..."
"SHHHHHHHHHHH!" Twilight hushed as Sanya continued to use her magic. She was listening to something... but to what?
"Buld vuldiik los kosil un imaar ont einzuk. Ruz. .. lein fen mah wah un uld."
"Nuz zok pahsuleyk gein, fos do verin do dremhah? Dreh nust ni pose rut wah un drun?"
"Nust los nid lingrahiik do komeyt."
"Lost hin pahsuleyk al lot troz ko un drun?"
"Nid, dii zeymah. Orin pruz. Zu'u lost gahrot sogaal. Nust los neben un imaar nu."
"It's definitely a dragon." Sanya said to Armin and Slade as she stopped listening.
"How do you know?" Armin asked.
"When we fought the dragon that had broken into the castle, remember how it managed to well... breath fire and break..."
"Yes kid. Lemee guess. This is him again?"
"No it's not. When I first heard the dragon again, he was speaking with another..." Sanya continued. "Now... it's that other dragon speaking... I think it's name is Feynaltdrog."
"The one we've been assigned to kill." Slade said as he sat down. "Well... what do you make of him?"
"I am afraid I can only listen. That's it. I don't understand what language they are speaking in, but it's definitely one I've never heard before."
"Well... that's not going to do us any good unless anyone here knows dragon... I am certain none of you might have a clue on how to..."
The loud door slam that cut him off in mid-sentence irritated him a bit. And for some reason, the voice that called also just sounded flat out... annoying. But when he turned around to meet the speaker, Slade's frown slowly curled into a ghost of a smile.
"Twilight! I am home! I got the groceries!"
It was a baby dragon.
"Und thanks again!" Medic said as all the dozens of doves seemed to crowd him to no end.
"No problem! They all like you I see. I am sorry that there were no other animals though!"
"Ah... vell zat won't be any problem... but good bye!"
"Good bye!" Fluttershy said. "Isn't he such a nice... thing, Angel?"
The bunny replied by hiding within Fluttershy's mane until Medic was out of sight. Something about this guy...
"Alright. Vell... let's see... I'll name you Archimedes number 2... and you Archimedes number three.... and... zere are just so many Archimedes amongst you! By god! I am in heaven! Archimedes! Don't you understand?! Zis is ze happiest day of all our lives!"
Coo.
"Ja. I am excited too... now zen... you can all live in ze infirmary and... vat ze heck? Is ze ground moving?"
Sure enough. It felt as though there was a small earthquake going on as rocks and pebbles began to shake and rattle.
"Oh... please... not now..." Medic muttered as he rolled his eyes. "Alright Archimedes... ve are going home now and... vat ze?"
He turned around as the air felt strangely warm for some reason. When he turned around, that's when he saw it.
He never ran so fast in his life.
"Perfect. They stop talking the moment we got this guy." Slade groaned as the conversation stopped. "Okay Sanya, you got anything?"
"I am afraid not." Sanya replied as she took a look at Spike. "Are you a dragon?"
"Yes ma'am! But... what are you exactly?"
It wouldn't be easy to tell even if Spike knew what a human exactly was. Well. Maybe not OBVIOUSLY, but still EASILY. It's just that regular humans don't exactly have cat ears or tails.
"She's a human. Homo Sapien Sapien for Light Sparkler here who fancies herself as a librarian."
"But I..."
"Anyways." Slade said cutting off Twilight much to the alicorn's great anger. "What's with the..."
He made a single hand motion that would could be translated from mime to English as cat ears.
"It's what happens when I amplify my magic." Sanya explained. "You see... when a witch uses anything to amplify her magic, you can tell because of her familiar. Mine is the black cat as..."
She stopped talking for a moment as she heard something. Only this time, she didn't exactly need her magic. It'd only have been surprising by any standards if someone DIDN'T hear the noise.
"What was that?" Spike asked as he dropped his bags in panic. "Is it... a monster?"
"No you idiot. Can't you tell the noises your own kind makes?" Slade asked impatiently as he took out his sword. "It's a dragon."
"Dragon?" Spike asked. "But dragons don't normally come around..."
"They do now." Slade said as he went outside, followed by Armin and Sanya.
"HELP!" Medic screamed as the massive dragon chased after him, firing a gust of flame out of it's mouth which licked at the German's coat. Turning around, he saw the thing slowly get closer as he felt his feet getting more tired.
Suddenly. He felt hotter than usual. A quick glance behind him and he would see that a section of his coat was on fire which all of a sudden, made him feel like he wasn't tired anymore.
"FIRE! FIRE! FIRE!" The doctor screamed in panic as he ran to ponyville. A well, water... just anything!
"Stop running!" Captain America said as he popped out of nowhere and tripped the medic and began to beat out the flames. "God damn it doc, don't you know that running only fans the flames!"
"I am running from ze dragon you idiot!" Medic retorted as the dragon landed almost on top of them. It's massive mouth opened to say the words. Though Cap had raised his shield and saved both himself and medic from becoming human barbeque, he felt as though that his hand was going to start smelling really good if this continued. Thankfully for him, it didn't as a burst of gun fire diverted the attention of the dragon to Slade.
"Think you can use this kid?" Slade asked Sanya as he tossed her the assault rifle. "Where the hell is Armin?!"
"I think he's hiding behind... I don't know actually..." Sanya said over the din. Somehow, it was still audible despite her almost silent speech.
"Forget that then. That shield of yours! You might want to keep that up."
"Why?!"
"Cause I want you to get the things attention... don't worry. It'll be dead before anything bad happens. Okay? I promise."
"I am still un..."
"Just get it's damn attention." Slade said as he fired his grappling claw and landed upon a building. He watched the dragon and crouched, sword at the ready. Waiting for a moment, he saw Steve being thrown against the tree library and sliding down in an almost cartoonlike fashion. Waiting a few more moments would allow him the dragon's back as it turned it's attention to Sanya who continuously fired the assault rifle at the lizard's face.
"Sanya!" Twilight cried out as she saw the flames engulf the girl, moving over quickly, she casted her own defensive spell which formed a bubble around Sanya, covering her from the flames that otherwise would have most likely killed or seriously injured her. Something caught her eye.
The remote claw served it's purpose as it connected a tightrope between the tree library and another nearby building of considerable height over the dragon. Hanging right above, Slade jumped down, a low-yield explosive in one hand, and his blade in the other. But Twilight's eye caught the dragon's eye and it looked up just in time to move so Slade wouldn't strike a lethal hit. Instead, the blade pinned it's wing down but a headbutt would send the assassin flying, his grenade rolling away...
Right into Captain America's hands.
As the dragon once again opened it's mouth to unleash an inferno upon the hapless town of ponyville, Steve darted forward with superhuman speeds and punched the dragon in the mouth, causing it to stagger and hesitate. Recovering, the beast opened it's mouth, intent on chewing Captain America in two. It almost happened, but in that moment, Cap found that he was invincible, the dragon's teeth couldn't pierce this new metallic blue sheen that covered his body.
He was invincible. But only for a few seconds.
Without a moment to lose, Cap pulled the ping and flung the grenade straight into the dragon's mouth and hoped it wouldn't breath on him as the uber wore off. To his luck, a big guy in a suit of power armor jumped right on the dragon's mouth and punched it in the eyes. Holding the giant mouth closed. A single tense moment passed as time went to a standstill before the dragon's body exploded in a shower of blood and gore. They had done it.
"Is it over...?" Armin asked as he emerged from wherever he was.
"No it's not over!" Twilight replied as she took a look at the nearby buildings which happened to be on fire.
