Another fuzzy imagine is starting to clear up, revealing buildings that he somewhat walking to a big building with all of the strange bipedals that he saw last time in his dream but as they turned they all have a somewhat stares at him, as he turned back and saw two other bipedals with him. Just like the last time, the imagine of them starting to fuzz up into statics.........
John felt his body comfort of the blanket of clothes that he stole as he open his eyes and feeling groggily. With a stretch of his body along with scratching his mane, he then headed to outside and start to wash his eyes, getting off of the dirt and also soaking his body, waking up from its slumber. As he look up to the skies, the dawn blankets starting to rise up the sun and give off the beauty of the shining rays, sparking the waterfall.
Now feeling energize, he then start to gather more rations and water along with more firewoods, he then headed back to the cave and starting to cook the meals. He then view of the items that he stole from yesterday. The cake that he stole starting to becoming stale but yet he kept eating it, getting more of the sweetness from it. As for the clothes, the once beauty of them starting to have stains and tears from it as the apple tree, the apples starting to rotten and fall down that he grabbed it and burn it into ashes. As for the books, some of the pages are caught in the wetness of the cave dripping down from the upper ceiling including the covers protecting it. The only that haven't been covered in dirt or water is the mysterious book. He usually gripped it when he sleep, still feeling of being attach to it for unknown reason but never the less, he felt like it's the last connection to something that he want to never let go of. His lost past of his life.
Once the meals cooked in perfection, he gaze at Night still sleeping in peacefully. He turned and sigh as he set the plates ready along with the water too along with his as thinking of his training, he headed outside, getting some early training before breakfast. Sure that you need energy to do whatever you need to do, but he want to prepare himself more for his mission. With a small breeze blew through his mane, he changed into his orange clad suit only this time, his twin blades appeared upon his transformation. With that he grabbed them and start to imagine himself facing his imaginary foes surrounded him as he jump, dodge and block along with giving them a roundhouse kick, knee kick, strike slash, strike thrust, and a few of hammered punch and a mighty haymaker.
Feeling that his adrenaline ran out while catching his breath, he heard a gentle voice that he knew too well. "Having a feeling you be here."
He turned and saw Night, with her gentle smile. Something that he founded it attached to it but still had a non smile expression, "Are you going to eat? You need some energy to survive."
"Yes but," she use her magic to levitate his meal too "you need it too. Can't do anything without an empty stomach, could you?"
Never had the feeling to argue with her, he sighed upon defeat and put his weapon back to his skirt which disappeared into his azure flames. Then he grabbed it through his magic and start to eat while staring at the lake still sparkling like the stars that twinkle in the morning along with Night sat down on her haunches with him. Everything was something peaceful here in his, no, their new home with only them that they can stay forever and never be part of each other. Surely that he felt like something still missing in his heart, but he didn't mind that. As long Night is here with him, he always had a reason to be here and a reason to live life in Equestria. Everything is in silence , only the waterfall crashing down to the lake can be hear but nothing that matter to them. It was peaceful enough for this scenery to be in silence.
Until Night decide to break the silence."John?"
"Hmmmm....." he turned to her.
"You always highly think of me so much. You accept me when you realize that I'm an embodiment of darkness as friend. Something that nopony ever gave me the chance to warm me up. You want me to get a second chance in life to make up for the damage that I did when I was....." she cringed at what she going to say, " a monster. A new chance to live life as a individual pony. How is that your so willing to help me despite of my dark past?"
"Having a feeling you're going to ask that." he turned to the clear blue skies. "I guess is that maybe you and I are somewhat similar."
This surprise her at his statement. What would that she and him are similar? Surely that he didn't turned into a monster but decide to stay silence as he continue to explained more.
"When I woke up with an amnesia like you said, I felt that I was.....already an outsider. I guess that maybe there's nopony that might accept me so I felt that I don't belong here......until I met you. I know that your heart is filled with sadness and sorrow along with the void of darkness but that's how my heart is like now. Everything that I spent time with you and helping you, I felt that my void is gone and replace with warmth that I been longing to feel. Maybe is because I don't have a parent or any family members that I known. But with you, I now realize I finally found one. That's why........I want to keep fighting for those I care.....is because I don't want to lose something precious to me. You and I are alone but as long we're together, then our hearts can transform our void into a a warmth that we always want it."
Night was too stunned at words. He felt that he doesn't have a family members to take care of him and now under her watch, she became a family to him. His only one. She turned to see her reflection of the lake and then holds a small yet cute smile. How she glad that she able to save him from him drowning the lake otherwise, he might not had a future nor she'll had one too.
"Th-thanks you, John." she said with a kindness tone, which he nodded.
As he finished his meal and drinking his water, he then got back up to his hind legs. "Ok, time to get back to training!"
With that, he then pulled out his twin daggers and start to battle his imaginary foes again who he always think that they want to get payback at him. But just like his first sparring match, he able to block, dodge, and doing a strike thrust and strike slash along with his mighty haymaker, etc.
Night then watches him continue to sparring his imaginary foes, feeling happy. Not of him going into mission that he so long to keep that promise, but of him being with her. She then close her eyes and begin to know when the time comes, she'll need to find somepony to entrust her of taking care of him. Her friend. No, her first 'son'. And she knows a pony that can do the job or rather ponies to do it. She then open her eyes and start to teach him more of his self defense.
In the morning of Ponyville, ponies begin to do their daily business as Twilight and Spike came back to the library with grocery on them. As they put the grocery away, Twilight felt lost into her thoughts about happen lately. The thief stole the mysterious book that she tasked to find the secret of it, the mysterious girl appeared in her dreams, and thief's connection to it. Could those means a sign of something of an danger far beyond that Equestria that ever seen? All of this happening is starting to fried her brain a bit with unanswered meaning. She just wished that once everything is over, everything can go back to the way it was.
"Twilight?" Spike's voiced snapped out of her trance as she turned her head to his side, getting ready to cook. "You ok? Are still await for our friends to report of anything unusual?"
She nodded taking a gaze through the skies from her window. "Yeah, I guess I felt......uneasy of what happening yesterday. Everything that's happening in Equestria.........I felt that me and my friends were...........powerless to prevent it."
She lowered her head at her sentence with regret but then she felt a touch from her shoulder and look at Spike who was worried.
"Don't say that. You and your friends aren't powerless." Spike console her. "As long as your bonds with them stay strong, I'm sure that you girls will find a way."
She smiled at his attempt to cheer her up. "Thanks, Spike."
Just as he getting ready to make lunch, a loud crash was heard from the main wing as Twilight rolled her eyes, knowing the one who did. She then headed and founded Rainbow, now under the piles of books, rubbing her head from the impact that she did.
"Rainbow, at least use the door!" she scolded, while Spike groaned as he start to re shelving the pile of books again.
"Sorry Twilight," she got back up, one of the books bonk her head as she rub it. "just practicing my moves and still no report for anything unusual here."
"And the others?", she asked her "Did they?"
"Nope, nothing out of the usual.", she answered which she sighed as she helping Spike re shelve half of the books.
After a few minutes, Spike headed back to the kitchen, preparing lunch for them. Rainbow follow Twilight, going on her same pace and asked her, "You know, this strange anomalies is getting out of hoof lately. Some of the Wonderbolt cadets reported of being missing for unknown reason and I tried to look for them but so far not a sign of them."
"I hear you, " she said "also some of the Canterlot rich ponies are also reported missing too. Princess Celestia and Princess Luna did their best to find them but also some of the Royal Guards are also reported missing too when they go on a search."
"Until we solve this mystery, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna won't allowed to send more of the Royal Guards unless any dangers comes.", she finished explaining her, taking her seat along with Rainbow too as Spike passed out his lunch creation : a salad with some apples toppings onto it.
As Spike got his leftover crystal meals that he saved and set on the table, they all start eating, still having a worried expression of the missing ponies increased.
"Hey cheer up, Twilight. We don't want you to mope around of what happening." Rainbow placed her hoof on her shoulder "If I was Pinkie, I would say just smile!"
Twilight chuckled at the fond memories that she shared with her friends. "Thanks, Rainbow."
"Yeah, so c'mon!" she cheerfully jump and hover. "The others are waiting for us at the Town Hall!"
With that, she finished her meals as she and Spike headed outside to meet the others. Hopefully that at least she lucky to had friends.
John then sat down on his haunches, panted of all of the training that he did. He remove his hat as he let the cool breeze blew through his mane, close his eyes and laid down to rest on the grass.
"Whew! Looks......like.......I........getting.......the......hang......of.......this....." he said, trying to catch his breath.
"More likely you master everything I taught you." Night answered as she laid on the same side as him as they gaze the skies and feeling the wind.
"Yeah.......you can.....say.....that......again......" he chuckled, showing her his smile. His first smile that he had.
Night saw this and start to laugh a bit which earn a confused look from him."What's so funny, Night?"
"Well you smile. I never knew your smile can be that cute." she remarked, making him blush and starting to laugh a bit.
"I guess I felt that way when you are here with me." he said as he got back gazing the clear blue skies with the white marshmallow clouds floated endlessly. Suddenly, he then saw something flew by as both got back up, he peered his eyes and saw something that surprise him.
"A dragon? What it's doing here?" he said in disbelief at this sight.
"I don't think it's just one dragon, John." Night pointed her hoof. "Look!"
Looking at his direction, he saw a massive horde of dragons flew into the skies."Whoa! That's a massive horde of dragons! But why they're here?"
As if he got his answer, the dragons horde now swoop down as John and Night followed them to where they're heading as they saw something horrifying : the dragons now starting to merciless invade Ponyville. Buildings fall down, trees burning along with some buildings, ponies running away from them, and black smoke covered the clear blue skies.
"Oh no! Those dragons.......", he stared at disbelief then changed into anger, clenching his weapon along with his gritted teeth. "Night, I'm going in to fight them!" As he about to charge into the battlefield, Night use her teeth to catch his collar, halting him.
"John, you can't fight all of them alone! You're just one pony and facing them would be suicide!", Night replied.
"But I can't stand here while those dragons starting to terrorize Ponyville, Night!", John said, feeling utter helpless at this scene. "I know I train this for my mission, but remember, I'm also here as a savior too. So I had to help them and stop this suffering!"
She then looked at him seeing him with so much determination that he'll go into the battle. With a sighed, she said to him, "All right, but one on condition, I'll go with you."
He nodded at this with another smile. "Thanks, Night. But how you're going with me without being seen?"
Then, she lowered her horn near to his as a massive surge of power course through him as in a flash that he covered his eyes, he saw her gone.
"Night? Where are you?" he look around for any sign of her until a voice echoed through his head.
"I'm here, John."
He shot his head up and look around quickly as he could.
"I'm inside of you." she said telepathy, making him surprise of this.
"How...." he asked before he got cut off.
"I transfer myself into you, turning myself into a magic energy to assist you in your battle. You could say I'm a spirit guide," she said with telepathy "Anyway, once we enter, you need to get the citizen out of the town. There maybe some of them being trapped on the cages that you seen right?" he looked to where the captive which he nodded. "You need to free them by defeating the guard dragons that holds the key, the fat ones who watching the cage." he nodded again. "Once you free all of them, you need to defeat the one who lead them. If you can defeat it, then the dragons had to retreat cause they can't function without the leader, do you understand?"
"Every word of it, Night." he said, twirling his weapon and dashing into the battlefield of Ponyville.
As Ponyville now in chaos from the dragons, half of the buildings were broken, raided for all of the ponies that they can find and throw them to a hard steel shaped cage. Some tried to fight them but half of them were beaten by them and taken to the cage as other dragons continue to burn half of the town to cinders. Even the Wonderbolt and Royal Guards are having problem dealing with them as some of the airbone dragons able to outwit them. One of them launch a fireball from its mouth as it hurl through them as it explode upon hitting the ground, knocking out the Royal Guards.
As they now prepare to take them hostage and throw them to one of the cages, one of them, a pegasus with a orange coat with a blue mane that spike upwards struggle to get up despite the pain, but no luck. Then as he look at one of the dragon, a grey one with a wicked grin as fear now envelop the pegasus. Just as the dragon about to grab him, something impaled the claw as blood coming off from it. A dagger. The dragon screech in pain as the pegasus confused by this turned to any directions of who threw. Just as the other dragons about to come to its side, a azure flame whack its cheek as another that looks like uppercut, knocking out and releasing one of the guards. As the other dragon looking shocked at this, he saw the the strange azure flame slamming something hard onto its forehead, as with punch that send it through the wall. Then as the injured dragon tried to get the dagger off of its hand, a azure chain was envelop through the ashes of the fire as he turned to the direction he saw the attacker : a orange clad pony with all of its hooves now envelop in a azure flames as the chain now pulled him that he grabbed from its left front hoof, he thrust kick its stomach as it being pulled by a strong force. Then this pony's horn now launching azure fire rapidly, as with so much force, he ended with a haymaker, causing the dagger to pulled out upon it.
With the adrenaline wearing out while store his daggers on his belt, the orange clad pony hurried to the injured pegasus who his jaw dropped down at his fighting style but snapped out of his stupor when the orange clad pony asked, "You ok?"
"Yeah, thanks." starting to get back up, but the pain cause him to tumbling down. Then the orange clad pony reached for his hoof, beckoning him for any support as he grabbed it and got back up, still feeling the sting of his injured.
"Listen, I going to need you and any available guards to round up anypony and take them to the entrance of the forest." the orange pony pointed to a familiar forest. "I'll go and handle the dragons myself."
"Are you mad?!" he exclamied. "Your just one pony! You can't fight all of them by yourself!"
"I can, because I'm a savior and a one pony army!" The orange clad pony said before hurried to the ashes that he unable to stop him, leaving him alone while the guards woke up.
"Flash Sentry", one of them asked. "What happen?"
"It's seems like we found a savior." he muttered before he order the guards to get the citizens to the entrance of the Everfree Forest.
John start to dash fast, regaining the adrenaline that he felt as he dodge the fallen woods on flames, with some acrobatic skills as continue to hurried fast as he can.
"Are we getting closer, Night?" he asked.
"Yes, just further ahead and we can rescue the hostages!" Night's voice said as he nodded as he jumped from the top of the buildings, he saw a cyan pegasus, getting chased by more airborne dragons.
"Looks like we need to help this one too!" she echoed as with him getting speed and draw his weapon from his belt as well as wait for the right time, the cyan pegasus swoop down along with the chasers to the same building as in slow motion, he launched a azure chain and shot it onto the chaser's tail while it blend into the skin as with jumping out of the building holding onto it, he swing it up high to the peak of him touching the ashes skies.
Meanwhile Rainbow Dash was confused at all of this, dragons from the migration year ago suddenly going terrorize Ponyville, and she something latch onto the dragon's tail, but couldn't know it she was seeing things or the ashes getting into her eyes.
Snapping out of her stupor, she dodge the fireball attacks quickly while trying to get the chaser off of her tail. But so far the chasers irritated her, never leaving her sight off. She just wished that Twilight and the others are doing fine while they tried to fend off the invaders along with both the Wonderbolt and the Royal Guards too.
However the dragons kept repeatedly fire more of the fireballs, as she kept dodging it from it from any building that she can lose them but not luck as she felt her energy is almost out. But then as the airborne about to fire another, they heard of a metal sound as the look from the ashes skies, a azure chain is pulling something down fast as the orange clad pony thrust kick its jaw, as he slammed it to the side of the building while remove the end of the chain and shot it out on the next one, pulling him and pull out a dagger from his belt, he pushed it out the next as he did the same as the first one, he shot another this time onto the wings as with a huge stomp onto the back, he forced it to the ground, making a impact hole on the ground.
Rainbow with her jaw dropped, was well, amazed that this pony beat the tail chasers while she couldn't. Just who is that pony and where did he come from? However, she saw him coming towards her as she able to get a visual look of what he look like.
That's a strange outfit. If Rarity sees this, she'll not going to like this style. her thoughts ranged of the strangest outfit that nopony ever made this in Equestria.
"Hey, are you ok?" his voiced snapped her out of her thoughts as a shake of her head she nodded.
"Yeah, thanks for saving me." she said which he nodded.
"Listen, gather every pony that you can find here and headed to that forest." he pointed to where her eyes widened in surprise. "I go and handle the dragons."
Just as he about to dash into the battlefield, she zoomed in and making him back away a bit. "Excuse me, but who made you in charge? You're just one pony and it'll be crazy to handle all of the army of dragons alone!"
"I know, but I had the power to put an end to it." he said, hints of determination. Just as she going about to argue, he just past her as she about to chase him but as the smoke covered her, she unable to stop him.
"Just who is that crazy pony?" she muttered, before she zoomed off to find anypony and get them to safety.
As he continue to run to the cages to save the hostages, he jump into the roofs of the buildings and kept running until he made a stop as he crotch down and squinted his eyes to see. A steel bared cage with all of the hostages now whimpering and struggling as he saw the guard dragon open the cage for the dragon to throw the captive hostage into it.
He jumped down and hid into the barrels, undetected as he get a clear view of it and whispered, "Ok, there's the first cage, Night." He looked as he hid quickly when one of them passed him. "But there's too many to fight them all of them out. Is there a way that we can take out the guard and rescue them without been seen?"
"Hmmmm........I had an idea, John." she replied while pounding her thoughts "If you can cast a duplication spell, then it might drive the rest of them out, leaving the guards by itself. A mist form can help you to fight it silently, and once you got the key......"
".....then, we'll get the ponies to safety, and take down the dragon leader." he finished her sentence.
"Right, but you haven't done that before right?" He nodded. "I see, well in that case, let me give my knowledge of my spells."
"Ok." With that, he close his eyes and feeling his brain now linked to Night's. Then he can feel the surge of the spells coursing through, and once the process is complete, he open his eyes. Then with lowering his horn, the azure flames now ignite.
"Well that's the last of them." one of them threw them to the cage "Now we just need to get another to store the princess here."
"Yeah, can you believe Gabe just gone nuts?" another asked with the hint of fear.
"Yeah, one day he was just normal and the next day, he was........", the other shrugged at what he describe of him "........mad and become king. Like something that possessing him."
"I don't think we dragons should do this. We should at least asked the princess to find a way to get him to his sense." the guard said feeling guilty seeing all of the ponies now filled with terror and fear.
"But how can we? He got that freaky dark magic thing that turn half of our kind into mindless zombie drones and if we tried to fight him nor tried to find someone to help, we turned into one too!" the other explained.
All of them sighed at this, then at the sight, they saw ponies now scattered at all of the direction, running from them.
The other sighed at this, "C'mon we need to get the others, otherwise the 'mad king' going to be very cranky."
With the others nodded, the dragons now take the skies and chased them, leaving the guard to protect the cage. At the the time that only the fire still cracking and smoke now flow, the guard dragon sighed at the destruction of his kind had done. Oh, how he just wished that someone can get the 'mad king' dethrone and return to his sense. Just as things about to be quiet, something attached to his legs as he look down, he saw a azure chain and a hook as one pull, he was thrown into the alley as the ponies now look at the dragon being drag away.
Then the guard hit on the wall as a chain now wrapped around him as he saw the orange clad pony. The one that fought the mindless zombie dragons on his own.
He approached with eyes that are daggers at him, "Don't even signal the others."
"I- I don't want to......", he stuttered a bit as the orange clad pony now pickpocket around him until he got the cages' key.
"Now, tell me why you dragons starting to invade this peaceful place?" John asked.
"Is because of our leader gone mad with the dark power that he gotten!" he explained despite squirming around the chain around him. "We don't know who or what cause him, but not only it's not just dark magic from Equestria but it driving one of our kind insane. He even turning our kind into mindless zombie drones for his army and we're forced to serve him as our king. We just want this to stop. Half of us not affecting us are forced to capture the ponies and we don't want to threaten this place too!"
John nodded as Night explain to him via his thoughts, "Dark power not originated from Equestria? Strange, but any case, we got the key and we just need to free the ponies".
Then as he about to trotted to the cage, he stop a bit and without turning his head to the captured guard dragon, he slice the cage, dissipated and freeing him.
"What?! Why would you......?!" the guard dragon stuttered at this event.
"If you and your friends wish to atone for this, then you can help me. " interrupted his voice, coldly "I heard it from your conversation with your friends...." With that, he continue to headed to the cage, leaving him all alone.
As he reached the cage with ponies continue to cried for help, John came as the ponies rounded to the bars, begging him to free them. With unlock the cage, he open the cage as every hostage ponies crawled out, thanking him.
"Listen, all of you, there's a safe location on the entrance of the forest." he pointed to it which everypony gave a widened look "It's crucial that you all need to get there. There abound to be guard ponies waiting here."
In a nick of time, Rainbow came swooping down along with five other ponies, following him. Wasting no time, he walked to her and said, "Cyan pony, you and your friends get the rest of them to the entrance of the forest. I'll handle the leader and put an end to them."
Just as he about to dash off, an annoyed shout was heard, "HEY!"
He saw her get into his face along with a annoyed look, "First off, the name's Rainbow Dash! And second, you being crazy to fend off those dragons by yourself! You going to need some help!"
"I already do. And she with me." he bluntly said as he passed her and dash into the ashes of the battle.
"But- you- they're- Arggh!" she groaned loudly, threw her hooves in a tantrum manner. Then she turned to her friends, who was confused at this.
"Um, Rainbow, just who the hay is that pony?" Applejack asked.
"Don't know, just some crazy pony with crazy fighting moves." she muttered, not want to question more of him.
With the others now leading the citizens out of the city, the girls now heading to the entrance of the Everfree Forest. But not one pony, Twilight, look at the direction of the strange pony went.
Something about that strange pony felt............odd yet warm......she muttered before she hurried to her friends.
John continue to dash while jumping onto buildings, dodging burning items, and so fourth along with encounter more dragons, as with fast speed, he knocked them out with one slash, then continue to run. The smoke continue to blind his destination, but yet he kept going, and going until his ear perks up with the roaring noise from the skies, he then jump high, out of the smoke and seeing two airbornes going to swoop him, he launch his chain as it wrapped around his mouth, closing it in process as the chain pulled him while he launch another one to the other's mouth as surprising, he pulled both of them and twirling them like carrying a metal heavy ball with chain attached to it, and slam both of them to the ground.
With him touching to the ground and pulled the chain back to his daggers, he then continue to headed to his destination. We're almost there, John! Night inform him which he smile at this.
As he jump into the burning smoke, he then got into his battle pose as he scan for anything unusual around the area. But so far no dragons coming out nor any cage. Still, he kept his guard as he slowly walk around, scanning for anything unusual.
"It's quiet." Night muttered. "Too quiet......"
"Still, my guess is that they leave a trap somewhere......", he replied, stopping at the middle.
"So you came..........", another voice was heard this time of a deep and demonic like voice, surprising them "The one pony that stand in my way!"
As the source of the voice was from the skies, he saw something falling down as he jump out of the way as the smoke clear, he saw something that clearly fit the description of the guard dragon. A red teen dragon with armors from head to shoulder of a king, stood demonic with claws that now with paired of sharp blades and the worst part is the eyes now filled so much evil, his eyes now have black and orange slits of a demon. The dragon roared, spread his wings that now with snake like heads on the ends, hissing at him along with the cages of the rest of the ponies and surprising a baby dragon too which he starting to be mad at the king throwing away their own kind.
"Guess that means your the leader, huh?" John asked, still holding his courage, "The one that attacking Ponyville?"
"Yes, and your the little pony that going around attack my people and freeing my prisoners......", the dragon growled, "But it's unfortunate that your path ends here........."
"No way it ends, not when my heart blaze brightly........"John got into his battle stance, ready for battle as a wave of azure flames pulsing around him.
"Your a fool if you think you can stand against me.......but if you want to make it quick......." Suddenly, a wave of darkness pulsing through the field as the dragon now got into his battle stance too "Then I happy to make this place your grave!"
Then at silence as both warriors now face their foes, then both of them charging at them, swung their weapons as sparks flying around as each of them trade blow by blow but so far both of them able to stand firm. John then charging at him as the dragon shot out fire from his mouth as he jump out of the way as the impact of the fireball demolished of the building, he then flipped his daggers to regular grip as he swing his daggers at him only to the dragon to block it with its claw blades then proceed to attack him as the dragon attempt to slash him but he push himself out of the way as claw marks scraped his clothes and blood poured through him.
John gritted his teeth, clutching his wounds and look at how serious it is. Unfortunately, he knew the answer as another voice shouted through his head. "John, are you ok?!"
"Y-yeah, I'll be fine.....", he muttered, not wanting Night to worried him while on the battlefield. He then focus on his magic as the azure flames now wrapping around his wounds as John then remain to his battle stance as the dragon now charge at him as attempt to thrust his claws only for his to be blocked his right dagger, passing through his face as a fierce roared from the orange clad pony, he slam his other one onto his face as the tip of the blade scraped out of the scales, leaking out blood. Normally that dragon scales protects dragons from any hard objects, but for John's daggers, that's another story.
"You little......!" the dragon growled feeling the pain from his cheek, then as a roared, the dragon's dark aura wrapped around him until his claws now broke into pieces and transformed into demonic curve swords as he charged at him as both kept continue to trade blows by blows endlessly.
That dragon king is tough from the rest...... his mind said as he back away from it only for the dragon slam him hard to the ground boring a hole in the process.
"John!!!" Night' screamed was heard through his head, despite him being injured in the process. "Are you ok?! John! John! JOHN!"
"I'm...... I'm..........", he tried to stand up, but his legs start to give in, as he tried to ignore the pain, "I'm all right....sort of...."
"Stop being an reckless idiot! If you keep this up, your going to die!"
"Even so..........", he got back up into his hind legs, still grasping his daggers laid on the floor, then face the demonic dragon king, "I'm not to let everypony suffer!"
He then got back into his battle stance as he charged at the dragon, trade blows by blows again and again, as he shot his right chain from his dagger as the dragon move it away from his head as the dagger latch onto a cart as John jump pulled it as the cart now headed straight towards the dragon as he attempt to slash it away, breaking into pieces. Then as he turned he saw him, now slash his face and parts of the armor of him, mostly the body as the armor left was cracked and shattered into pieces.
"Now you're starting to make me mad!" the dragon screeched as he fire three fireballs as John slice them, reflecting to the other side of the directions, explode at contact on the ground. Then the dragon charged at him as he attempt to slam his swords, only for it to be blocked by his daggers as John struggle to stand his ground. However, his legs start to be at the level to knee as he struggle to ignore the pain but it then blare out his mind about to give in.
"Huff......huff.......keh.......can't let my body give in......", he muttered, blocking another attack as the dragon kick to his stomach as he rolled to the ground knocking out unconscious. Then the dragon slowly walk over to his body laid.
"Heh, looks like it's time to end this." the dragon sneered as he now position the blade's tip at his head as he pulled his blade his as everything in slow motion, the blade thrust through the air as it about to hit his head, a black shield block it, breaking the tip.
"What?!" then as a magic bounce him away from him as a mist like mare appeared in front of John. The dragon startled in disbelief at this said, "What.....is this?!"
"You will not hurt my son!" Night screamed as she fire her magic as pushed him to the building, collapse on the process. Then she turned as she use her magic as green aura leaves rejuvenating him as a groan was heard, John got back up.
"Are you ok?" she asked him which he nodded.
"Yeah, thanks Night." he gave her a small smile which she nodded.
"John," her expression turned to serious " I think that the only way we can stop this is for you to unlock some of your skills that are inside of you. I'll use my magic along with the bracelet's power to unlock it. Once you use it, use Data Drain and remove the darkness from it."
John nodded as she then dispersed into thin air as her aura now covered him as his azure aura now envelop along with him as his eyes now flashed, as once the waves of aura pulsing around him, his eyes now return to normal yet another azure flames was showed on the irises.
Then as the collapse pile starting to rumble, the dragon roared out of it, "I had enough of your meddling you little mule! Your time ends now!!!!!"
"Bring it, you lizard freak!!!!!" John insulted as both now resume clashing their blades again as the dragon swung its sword , he crotch down as his blades glow yellow.
"Here's goes!!!! TRI SLASH!!!" then he switch his right grip, then upper diagonal slash on the right and the next on the left as he rapidly slash, bash, stab in unimaginable ways as the dragon stumble down. However he then shot out more fireballs, as John jump out of the way then his blade now glows green.
"WIND BREAK!!!!!" with calling the wind, he thrust forward from the air as he shot out two wind energies from his blades at him, backing him from it.
"And for the finale!" his blades now change colors to of white as his body begin to outlined with it. Then he shouted to his next attack, "SONIC CLASH!!!!"
With that, he charged at supersonic speed as he strike the dragon king vertical as he did again on diagonal and all over again, make the mad dragon king unable to block his next attack. Then as a 'crack' was heard, the dragon's sword broke into pieces along with the armors too as he sent flying onto the ground. The prisoners along with the baby dragon just stayed silence at this battle. For this is too brutal, but yet a mysterious savior came here and start to fight against the invaders without asking.
As the dragon tried to get up as he was on his last leg, John then spoke, "Your reign ends here."
Then he threw his right front leg as his bracelet start to glow as a massive surge of power starting to channel to it. He then jump and surprising floated once he hold it as the familiar wing data and the purple star showed onto the front as circlar rings wrapped around it as data starting to act up as John target the fallen tyrant king , now shouted, "DATA DRAIN!!!!!!!!"
With a shot of data now fired, the spirals of data hit the dragon causing him to screamed as the dark aura starting to dispersed away as his body glow lightly same as the colors of the data. Once the data now shot back into his front right leg, he saw the transformation as the once king dragon now turned into a crimson baby dragon, faint and fall from the ground.
John then look at the dark aura now converted into dark data as he use the bracelet's power as the dark data deleted from existence. He then got to his normal four legs stand as he then pickpocket it and found the key and headed to free the last of the prisoners which they have jaw dropped, agape at the battle and the aftermath. Before he unlock it he saw the same guard dragon from before along with the others who then pick up the fallen king as silence took over but yet he nodded at him which he return as the dragons now finally retreated along with others who then flying back to the mountains. John then focus back onto unlock the cage as he turned the key and open the cage, the ponies were cheered from being save as some pegasi flew to the skies as more of them come, they somewhat did to the ashes of the clouds as he can feel a drop of rain from his muzzle. He then felt more as he hold a small smile as the rain now extinguish the fires and the ashes.
He did it. John and Night did it. They save Ponyville from the invaders. As he then closed his eyes, he then felt the rain's tears, felt that it was meant to say thanks. He doesn't understand it but yet Night felt it too consider she's inside of him as once he open his eyes, he saw it stop as a sunshine starting to break the dark clouds. He then proceed to go back to his home, so he can rest up for tomorrow night until,
"Wait."
"Huh?" he turned and saw three fillies along with the baby dragon coming towards him; the one from the last cage he set them free. One of them had a yellow butter like coat with a red mane and a pink bow tie, the other one, a pegasi had orange coat and a purple messy mane and the last one had a snow white coat with a curly mane with two colors of light pink and light purple. The baby dragon had a purple scales and emerald curve spike along with the belly too.
"Thank you for saving us and defeat the dragons." the butter filly said, having a southern accent in his guess.
"Yeah, you really intense but awesome!" the orange one piped out, never the grin leaving her out.
"And your outfit is very nice!" the snow white squeaked.
He then look back and just only said comes out of his mind, "Thanks."
He continue to proceed going home but the baby dragon stop him, "Wait! At least tell us your name?"
He paused as he about to say his only name, but knowing that his mission comes first, along with the outfit reminded of the bipedal creature, Kite, he now can muster this, "The Successor of the Dot Hackers. A savior. My name is...........Kite Blade."
"Kite Blade?"
"Successor of Dot Hackers."
"Savior?"
All three of them asked in confusion as just as they about to question him, they heard their sisters coming towards them as knew he that he need to get away from them, he then use his spell as azure flames starting to wrapped around him as Twilight and her friends saw this as the strange pony now disappeared into bluish ashes.
"He's gone." Spike muttered which the others look at him. "Kite Blade is gone...."
"Kite Blade? You mean that strange pony?" Rarity asked him which he nodded as he and the Cutie Mark Crusaders explain of what happen, from the strange pony came, to him fighting off Gabe, to see a black like mist protected him, and the final attack that really surprise them : a starburst symbol identical to Twilight's cutie mark.
The girls were speechless. Never before that this pony had this strange and massive powers able to fight off Gabe and his massive army of dragons. However, just as they going to ask more, the rest of the Royal Guards came along with the citizens as two princess came to explain of what happen.
In the top of the waterfall, John look to the sight of Ponyville now starting to rebuild itself. He sighed as he gaze at the Canterlot Castle. This is it. Just for tomorrow night, his mission can begin.
