Lava-cations

Lava-cations

A strange figure was walking around the infinite hallways of that office, lost in the Space between Worlds. How did he looked? No one could tell, since no one dared to look at him, directly. His aura was pure evil, so sinister, that everyone around escaped as soon as he was called.

Still, this horrible Being was completely terrified. Frozen in horror as he was standing before the door. There was only one Being capable to terrify Lucifer, and that was his Boss. The Other One, or, the Source of all Evil.

“Come on in!” commanded the Other One.

Lucifer gulped, and ran into the Other One’s office. The Other One pointed a finger to a chair, and Lucifer hurried to take a sit. The Other One simply put a file in front of him.

“Our newest employee came with this idea. There’s a 42% chance of success. A little more, a little less, it doesn’t matter. But, whatever the results are, it’ll set the bases for the destruction of that world.”

Lucifer nodded. “What do I have to do?”

“Assistance. This is a very important project. Nothing have to be left behind. I need you to check on every step of the project, and provide her with everything she need.”

Lucifer bowed. “As you wish, my Master!”

“How many times do I have to tell you?” asked the Other One, annoyed. “I’m not your Master, I’m your Boss. Understood? Like my Twin, I prefer the business approach.”

Spike was sleeping peacefully, dreaming about a giant bowl of ice-cream, and Sweetie Belle. The young couple was happily sharing, giving ice-cream to each other. Suddenly, the ice-cream shop was affected by an earthquake, and it fell apart. Everything, including Sweetie Belle, teared into pieces.

“Hey!” complained Spike, when he realized that Magma had thrown him out of the bed.

“Wake up kid!”

“What time is it?” asked Spike, angrily.

“Four A.M., with fifteen minutes.” informed Magma. “Now, hurry.”

“Come on! Not only you make me go to school, during my vacation. But now, you wake me before the hour!” said Spike. “What is wrong with you?”

“Nothing! Everyone in Reptilia wakes up at this hour. On Thursdays.” Shrugged the school teacher. “Now come on! It’s getting late!”

“For what?” asked Spike, walking behind the older dragon.

Magma didn’t say anything, limiting to guide the Lord of Chaos through the hallways. Spike met with his Team. And, they seemed as annoyed as he was.

“What’s wrong with you dragons?! The only one who wakes up this early, is ma’s sister, and only at buck season!” said Apple Bloom.

“Do I look like I know?” complained Spike.

“Yeah, this is another chance to wonder with what you don’t know about your own species.” said Magma. “I know is unpleasant to wake at this hour, but, is worth it.”

“If you say so…” mumbled Rumble, half asleep.

Magma combed the colt’s mane with his claw.

“This happens every Thursday, but, if you don’t like it, I promise I won’t wake you up again.”

“Please…” groaned Sweetie Belle.

They walked out of the cave-Palace, to see that everyone in the city was awake, and waiting for something.

Queen Lava was waiting for them, in a big carriage, guarded by four flyer dragons. The foals got in, followed by Spike and Magma.

“Sorry for waking you up this early.” apologized Queen Lava. “But, this is something very important to us. And, unfortunately, we can just do this on the morning.”

“Its alright.” yawned Scootaloo. “What is it?”

“You’ll see.”

The flyer dragons raised the carriage, right in front of the volcano’s top. At that height, the kids could see everything. Again, the first thing they noticed were all the dragons, waiting for the show.

“This kind of reminds me when Princess Celestia raises the Sun.” said Spike, scratching his head. “You have to wake up early, if you want to see it.”

“This is almost the same.” explained Magma. “But, unlike what Celestia does, this needs more power. Much more power, so, my father spends most of the week gathering it, in order to do this.”

“Yeah, keep your eyes in the volcano.” smiled Queen Lava.

The Team of Chaos nodded nervously, looking at the Queen told them.

“Oh, right!” said Queen Lava, embracing the group with her claws. “Kids, get close to me. No Spike, not you!” she said, when the Lord of Chaos was approaching as well. “Only the ponies.”

Spike nodded, confused. Then, Queen Lava used her magic to create a force-field around the group.

“What’s going to happen?” insisted Spike.

Lava pointed at the volcano’s crater, where King Flames was emerging from. The Dragon King grew to 50ft tall, and roared with all his power. The dragons around responded, with roars on their own. It was a strange, but powerful feeling. The feeling of hear every dragon in Reptilia roaring at the same time, cheering for their King.

Then, King Flames charged his power on his claws, and snapped his fingers.

The volcano erupted with all its might, and so all the volcanoes in the surroundings.

Dragons roared in happiness, and ran to receive the lava over their bodies, and started to shower happily, and chatted with the neighbors about how good it felt. And, there were a few that took some dragon-sized pots, and filled them with the lava, saving it for later.

The Team of Chaos looked in awe, scared, but also very impressed for what was going on. But, for safety, Sweetie Belle reinforced Queen Lava’s force-field with her own magic.

Spike just stood there, covered in hot lava (that felt incredibly good), without knowing what to do.

“Hey, try this!” said Magma, offering him a brush. “Rub your body, as you’re taking a shower. Look! Everyone is doing it!”

Spike gulped, and looked around. As Magma said, it did look like everyone were taking a bath in public. What the hay was going on?

“Come on, it’s safe!” encouraged him Queen Lava. “Showering in plain lava is great, but not as great as straight-from-the-core lava.”

“There’s nothing better to remove dead scales.” informed him Queen Lava. “Besides, aren’t you here to learn how to be a dragon?”

“Okay, okay.” said Spike, obeying the Queen and prince. “Is just that this is weird.”

“I know, ponies don’t know anything.” sighed Magma. “Hey, Spike, promise me one thing!”

“What?” asked Spike.

“Take some pictures of your first heat. That would be hilarious!”

“Magma!” scolded him his mother.

The earth dragon chuckled, and continued showering in lava.

Spike tried to imitate him, reluctant at first, but, after a while, he began to enjoy himself; felling the pleasing sensation of fresh lava.

From inside Queen Lava’s force-field, the Team of Chaos looked at his leader, relaxing.

“It seems like fun!” said Sweetie. “Unbelievable you dragons can do incredible things.”

“A’ knew they were heat-resistant, but, this is ridiculous.” said Apple Bloom, amazed.

“Simply unbelievable.” said Rumble, “Seems like fun. Hey Sweetie! Can you transform us into dragons, just for trying?”

“What?” asked Scoots.

“Come on! Aren’t you even a little curious?”

“Well, A’m curious too. Sweetie, come on!”

“Fine, but I’ll have to transform first!” said Sweetie, activating her form of chaos.

“Now we’re talking!” cheered Babs.

But, suddenly, King Flames went toward them, to enjoy his dose of lava as well.

“Don’t take this wrong, children, but if you transform into dragons… I would considerate extremely disrespectful, understood? And, if you do, I’ll make sure each of you eat a steak. Am I clear?”

The Team of Chaos gulped, and nodded ashamed.

“Okay, enough for today. Let’s go for breakfast.” said Flames. “To control all the volcanoes in the world makes me starving.”

They headed to the dining room, where there were four mountains of food. A bunch of eggs with bacon, another of eggs, but with hay-bacon, fruits and oats for the ponies; and breakfast sausages for the dragons.

The Royal Family of Reptilia didn’t wait, they jumped to their seats, and started eating, really fast. The entire Team of Chaos looked at the dragons in awe. The ponies have seen Magma eating before; and also, Sonata in her human form. And, for Spike, he have seen the other costumers at Pina’s restaurant. But seeing King Flames eating, was a whole new experience.

“Spike, pall, if you really want to have something for breakfast,” said Magma, “I highly recommend you to start eating. Like now!”

Spike gulped, and began to eat quickly.

“In moments like this, I’m glad I’m herbivore!” said Rumble, serving himself a plate of eggs with hay-bacon, and fruit.

“Uh-huh” replied the others, sending careful glances to the dragons eating.

It was still too early in the morning, so they had time to sit and relax, before going to school.

“So, your father does that every week, you said.” asked Spike to prince Magma.

The school teacher smiled, and nodded.

“Yes, and haves to be really careful about it. If he does it too often, not only it would be exhausting for him, but, he risks to destroy the world by turning it into an icy wasteland.”

“Yeah, right!” chuckled Rumble.

“Believe it or not,” said Magma, “the ashes that the eruption releases can create a big cloud that blocks the sun rays from coming to earth, making them unable to warm the earth. It’s weird.”

“But, what if he doesn’t do it?” asked Sweetie?

“Unable to release its internal strength, the earth will cause that every volcano in the world erupt at the same time, covering the world in molten lava, extinguishing life as we know it.” said the dragon. “To control the volcanoes is as important, as raising the stars.”

“Huh, how cool is that?” asked Scoots, happily.

“I know, right?” smiled the older dragon. “And, since today is the first day of spring, he had to be extra careful with the amount of lava her released.”

Rumble face-hoofed. “That’s today?! Oh come on! I missed the Winter Wrap Up.”

“So?” asked Sweetie. “Our sisters said that they wanted us as far as possible, considering who we gave life the last time.”

“I know, I know!” said Rumble. “But, I wanted to be there to welcome Demon, my pet bunny. It’s a shame! She just found a mate in Fluttershy’s pet bunny, and shared a den, and everything.”

Magma scratched his head. “What is the Winter Wrap Up?”

“A pony custom. Don’t worry about it.” said Rumble. “The thing is, that today my pet wakes up from her hibernation, and I supposed to welcome her. Anyway, I’ll greet her when I go back. It’s a shame, but I wanted to see the product of her winter doing what rabbits do best.”

He looked at his friends, expectantly, but they just rolled their eyes, annoyed by the old joke, and pretended not being listening.

“Oh, please!” insisted the colt.

Spike sighed, annoyed. “Rumble, if you seriously believe that we will answer you, you’re wrong. Totally wrong!!”

“Aw!” said Rumble, dramatically upset.

But, Magma wanted to know the end of the joke.

“Tell me, what is what rabbits do best?” asked the school teacher.

“Breed like rabbits!” smiled Rumble.

Everyone groaned in exasperation. Everyone except for Magma, who giggled in delight.

Scootaloo just pulled his mane. “Rumble, as your fillyfriend, I’ll ask you just once: get new jokes, or shut the buck up!”

Rumble just smiled, very satisfied with himself.

But seriously, he couldn’t stop thinking about Demon. Was she okay? Leaving his jokes aside, he loved his pet bunny. Before he joined the Team of Chaos, she was his very best friend, and confidant.


Back in Equestria, Fluttershy was busy, waking up the little creatures who went to hibernation during the winter. And, at some point, Thunder Lane joined her. He actually was with the weather team, but, he used his break-time to do a favor to his little brother, and receive Demon for him.

One by one, the little animals came out of their respective dens. This whole process made Fluttershy happy, and satisfied with herself. Seeing new families coming out of the dens was one of the greatest things on her life. But today, she was especially excited. Today, for the very first time, her pet bunny Angel had find a mate, and they shared a den during this winter.

The first one to get out was a little black bunny, with red eyes. The combination gave her a really creepy appearance, that’s why Rumble have called her Demon. The second to come out, of course, was Angel; and he hurried to hop on Fluttershy’s back.

“Hello there, Angel!” smiled Fluttershy. “How was your sleep?”

The bunny happily moved their whiskers.

“Is that so? I’m so happy for you two!” cheered Fluttershy.

Then, Demon turned to Thunder, and moved her whiskers as wells.

“Huh? No, sorry pal. Rumble is not here.” apologized the dark gray pegasus. “But he will be back soon. Don’t worry about him. Knowing him, he would like to be her to welcome you, and, making bad jokes about it.”

Demon nodded, and hopped on Thunder’s back. Then, she turned to the den, and waved a paw toward it.

Six baby bunnies, all in different tones of gray, (three with black eyes, and three with red eyes), came out.

“Oh, Angel! I’m so happy for you!” said Fluttershy. “All this time, waiting for the right mate, was worth it.”

Thunder smiled. “That’s amazing, Demon. I’ll write a letter to Rumble. He’ll be so happy to know that you’ve been doing this great. I mean, doing what bunnies do best.”

Fluttershy sighed. “I see where Rumble got his sense of humor.”


Back to Reptilia, the Team of Chaos were on their way to school, always at Magma’s carriage, escorted by his two bodyguards. Turmoil and Ignition.

“Huh, there’s nothing like a hot lava shower, courtesy of the King.” said Ignition, with a satisfied sigh. “I had a dead scale on my back, and I wasn’t able to remove it until now. Oh, I feel so relieved!”

Turmoil glared at him. “You know every house in the Kingdom has lava from the tap, right?”

“Well, yeah, but is not hot enough to remove it. And, we all know that there’s nothing like fresh-from-the-core lava.”

“You’re right!” said Magma. “High quality lava is the best, with time, you learn how to make the difference.”

“You go to hell, rich kid!” complained Turmoil. “You have core lava whenever you want, by just opening the tap. The rest of us only have high-quality lava each time the King wakes the volcanoes.”

“As far as I know, you have core lava from the tap at the Royal Guard Headquarters.” said Magma, with a playful frown.

The three of them laughed happily.

“You guys really like lava.” Said Spike, scratching his head. “Do you drink it, by any chance?”

“Yes, we do.” explained Ignition. “Our national drink is made with lava. I would give you some to try, but, you’re still underage.”

“What else can you do with lava?” asked Babs.

“”To do lots of things, of course!” said Turmoil. “For example, if you don’t like your floor, you can spill a bucket of lava, wait until it hardens, and, just like that, you have a new layer of floor. Or, you can use it for cooking, but you have to be really quick, unless you like carbonized meat, of course.”

“Or, if you ate raw meat, and get an infection, you can drink a glass of hot lava, and you’ll kill every single bacteria in your stomach.”

“Lava is a very important part of our lives.” explained Magma. “You better remember it, because that’s one of the most important things you must learn as a dragon. Lava is so important in our lives, that every home in Reptilia have its own lava-plumbing system.”

“What?” asked Sweetie. “And, where do you keep such system?”
“We have our very own purification plant on the core, of course.” said Turmoil. “Isn’t’ that obvious?”

Spike and the others seemed thoughtful at this, but couldn’t say anything since the group just arrived to school, and they had to move to their classroom.

“Pst, I guess you already have an idea, right?” asked Sweetie?”

The Lord of Disharmony and Chaos winked an eye to her, and she smiled. Unfortunately, they couldn’t talk feely since Magma have just started his lessons, and, he wisely put them apart in his classroom. So they had to wait until recess.

But, when the time came, everyone around gathered around the black and purple dragon. Apparently, the rumors of him, having a new idea, had spread.

“So, what’s the big plan?” asked a serpent dargon girl, slipping around Spike. “Can we help?”

Spike grinned.

“Of course! For my new plan, the six of us will not be enough. But are you sure you want to help me?”

“Are you kidding me? You’re just the second dragon deity in the world.” said a flying dragon. “So, what do we have to do?”

“That’s the spirit, Celsius!” congratulated Sweetie, turning into Black, and giving the young dragon a remote control. “When we’re ready, it’ll activate.”

“Cool!” said Celsius.

“Hey, I want one too!” asked a siren.

“Here you go, Boiling” said Spike.

“Me too!”

“A remote for Conflagration!” said Mist.

Soon enough, every sixth grader on that school got one of those remotes. They were ready for action.

“Did we missed someone?” asked Spike.

“Me!” said Magma, joining the kids.

“Teacher Magma?” asked Scootaloo,

“Yes, why? Come on, who are we going to piss off?”

“Well… adults…” said Apple Bloom awkwardly.

“Cool! I’m in…”

The Team of Chaos looked at Spike, who shrugged, unsure of what to do.

But, the rest of the sixth graders, smiled, excited to have their teacher at their side for the prank.

“But… prince Magma…”

The schoolteacher shrugged. “Hey, do you know why I became a schoolteacher? Because I will never grow up, but, if I have to work for living, I’ll do it in a place where I can be with my equals. Children. I’ve may grow older, but that’s it. I’ve chose not to mature.”

Spike scratched his head, but, in the end, he have Magma a remote.

“Great!” he said happily. “Now kids, if you need anything, just let me know.”

“In fact, prince Magma, do you know where is the lava purification plant?”


That afternoon, Spike and his team (after they casted a heat-resistance spell) teleported to the very center of the earth, where prince Magma told them where the plant was. It seemed like a wastewater treatment plant, but underground.

“Unbelievable.” said Spike.

It as a strange sight. Glowing orange pipes were coming from all over the building, glowing so much on themselves, that there was no need of artificial light, or something. Amazed by this, Spike placed his claw on one of the pipes, and, much to his surprise, he realized it didn’t fell unpleasant. On the contrary, it was an amazing feeling.

However, a voice took him out of his thoughts.

“Hey, a bunch of kids got in!”

The Team of Chaos turned, to be confronted by a bunch of dragons, wearing security vests, and protection helmets. Complete with a tool-belt that they wore on their waists.

“Kiddo, school trips are on mornings. Did you got lost, or something?”

“We don’t have time for this, take them to the manager or something!”

“Yeah, we don’t have time to babysit.”

But then, one of the dragons approached, making the kids to go backwards. He looked really threatening, big, muscular, with almost every inch of his body covered with tattoos. He grinned sinisterly to Spike.

“It is you!”

Spike gulped.

“Ehem, who are you?” asked Spike, in fear.

The big threatening dragon’s grin grew wider.

“Don’t you see them, guys? They’re not just average children. THEY’RE THE TEAM OF CHAOS!”

And he ran as fast as he could, as the rest of the dragons took a step backwards.

“Come on! We may have a lot of power, but we’re still just kids.” complained Sweetie Belle.

“Oh, is not for you. Incineration haves a thing for celebrities.” explained another of the dragons.

“Hey, when the storm passes, can you sign my helmet?” asked another of the workers.

Spike happily made appear a pen, and approached to him, but suddenly, he was trapped in a tight embrace, along with his team.

“Watch it!” said Spike, struggling with his new fan’s strength.

The dragon, the frightening Incineration, finally released them, and shook their hooves, and claws, with great strength.

“Oh, the God of Chaos, and his Team!” said the monstrous dragon. “Oh, I’m so happy to meet you! Can you sign my helmet? My tools? Can I tattoo your six signatures on my body, please?”

It was when the kids realized that all of the tattoos on his body were signatures. Signatures from every celebrity he ever met.

“What is wrong with him?” whispered Rumble to one of the other workers.

“As we said, he haves a thing for celebrities.” explained the dragon. “Whenever he meets a celebrity, he makes them sign a piece of paper, and then, he tattoos the autographs on his body. It’s kind of weird.”

In the meantime, Incineration have taken a camera, and posed with the Team of Chaos.

“Come on! Can I take a picture with you? And you can sign it for me!”

“Ehm, sure!” said the kids.

But the picture wasn’t enough. Incineration wouldn’t be satisfied until he have the six signatures in the little free space that he still had on his body. So, Spike used his power to engrave them permanently on the scales.

“Great” said the dragon, examining the six new autographs on his belly. “These are the first autographs from a deity, and his assistants I ever had! Last time I tried to get an aoutograph from King Flames, the Royal Guard kicked me out.”

“Yeah, ehem… do you mind if we, you know, use our power to mess up with the pipes?” asked Scootaloo.

The workers exchanged a look.

“Would it interrupt our work or something?” asked someone.

“No, all the nuisance will happen on the surface.”

“Then its fine!” said another one.

Incineration’s eyes widened.

“That means, the Bearers of Harmony will have to go all the way down here?” asked Incineration.

“I guess so!”

“Cool, I’ll make them sign my body as well!”

The other dragons rolled their eyes, but didn’t say anything to him. Instead they stared to the kids.

“So, do you really promise that everything will happen on the surface?”

Spike nodded, and made appear a bunch of gold.

“I’ll pay you for the nuisance.”

The workers shrugged.

“Okay, then, its set.”

“So, what are you planning to do?”

Spike grinned.

“Something easy. A child’s play!”

Author's Note:

When I originally wrote this chapters, I was obsessed to portraying the dragon society (before it was actually on the show), so I took a few liberties. Anyway, one more chapter, and then, the eleven-year jump). At this point, I was just thinking in tying all the loose ends before ending the story.

Read ya’ later!!
