Dragon Bro Z

by MrWriterWriter

Intermission: You call this a summons?

"You sure this guy'll be able to find it, Dash?" Gilda asked, scanning down into the gorge through her binoculars as she and Rainbow watched flashes of light shine from its depths. Every so often they'd hear roars and rumbling as well.

"Long as nothing's ate it since then." Rainbow cringed when an almost otherworldy howl echoed up from the darkness...right before another explosion quickly silenced it. "Also, I'm kinda glad that nothing down there seems to like light."

"Big time..."

---

Spike grimaced at the still burning remains of his last opponent, a bug-like thing the size of an ursa minor. "Yuk...way too many legs on that thing...mouths too." Floating by, he dispatched another eel-like creature that darted out of the shadows.

He'd been down there for an hour, and had yet to find the relic. He was about ready to head to a different section of the gorge when he spied a glint out of the corner of his eye. "Hm? Wazzat?" Flying over to get a better look, he spotted something yellow and slightly tarnished, as well as wing-shaped...sticking out of the mouth of something that had teeth pointing in directions teeth had no business facing.

Luckily it was already dead. "Must've choked on it." He thought, taking hold on the piece that was still jutting out and giving a hard yank. It came out with a soggy 'pop', slime and rotting chunks sticking to it. "Ew!" He gave it a quick blast of flame to knock off what viscera he could, as well as dry it off a little. "Guess I'm done here. Hope this is the right one."

Judging from the screech of joy Gilda let out when he came back up with it, it definitely was the Idol of Boreas. "YOU FOUND IT!" She squealed, surprising Rainbow. "I could KISS you!"

Back in Ponyville, Chronoa looked up from the magazine she was reading. "Why do I suddenly have a craving for fried chicken, extra crispy?"

---

"I'd settle for a decent meal, to be honest." He replied. "All that fighting gave me an appetite."

---

"Now I feel both pleased...and distressed, and I'm not sure why."

"Well, that's what you get for putting fluffernutter in a bean burrito." Starlight Glimmer replied nearby as she mopped the floor, having been sentenced to several hundred hours community service as well as Twilight deciding to teach her what actual friendship was.

"That's rich coming from you, Miss 'broccoli, tofu, and pimento sandwich'." Chronoa muttered in response.

---

"You know you can let go now, Dash." Spike said, flying back home. "We just entered Equestrian airspace." The pegasus hadn't let go of his neck in a hug since they'd left Griffonstone. When the Griffonstone leaders had found out their treasure was back, and all Spike wanted was some food, they went whole hog in providing a banquet for the three. They even let them take the leftovers home.

As soon as they were airborne, she'd once again got him in a Pinkie-grade hug. "Don't wanna." She replied, her voice slightly muffled while she was buried in the crook of his neck. As she did, she noticed an odd glow start emanating from his scales. "Uh, Spike? What are you...?"

"Was hoping you'd tell me." He replied, rubbing his forearm. "It tingles, and not in a fun way! Man, I hope I didn't catch anything in that gorge!"

---

"When did you say this happened?" Luna asked. She and Celestia had thankfully stopped over for lunch and to work out a schedule for the dream meetings so Luna could handle her court more often. So they were already there by the time Spike and Rainbow got back.

"We'd just crossed the border when it happened." Spike shimmied a bit. "Feels like I got a spider running around under my clothes and I can't find it!"

"Dragon culture isn't our forte, but 'Tia and I have seen this before. Whenever a dragon's scales glow, it means the Dragonlord is summoning them. You'll have to go to the Dragon Lands to see what they want."

"Summoning me?? But I've never even BEEN there!" He twitched a little at the unpleasant sensation.

Celestia shook her head. "I'm afraid it doesn't matter, Spike. The only way to relieve the discomfort is to answer the summons."

Spike looked at them. "They could've just sent a letter, or put up a notice somewhere, but no! 'You're gonna glow and feel unpleasant until you answer this!' Whoever this so-called Dragonlord is, they better have a decent reason for this."

[Dusk Star Shine]

OH, so it's going to be THAT episode next, I was so hoping that you would skip ahead so Spike would go through that molting so he could gain wins, after all he's been away from Equestria for YEARS to him so shouldn't he have gotten his wings already?

[link4]

poor torch... his mindset will not work with spike.

[Nova Blaze]

This is going to be amazing.

[FoundFamily]

Why do I feel that Spike would just drive the scepter up where The sun don't shine?

[Hiroblade]

So Rainbow is being jealous in her own way and Spike goes to the dragon lands he will got swarmed by most of the female dragons (and a few guys) while screaming at Torch

[zachary12]

nice work looking forward to the next chapter [/color

[Tower of gray]

To quick. Far to quick.

Given the life of a Z fighter, he could have gotten them and lost them.

[MonkeyManiac]

Spike looked at them. "They could've just sent a letter, or put up a notice somewhere, but no! 'You're gonna glow and feel unpleasant until you answer this!' Whoever this so-called Dragonlord is, they better have a decent reason for this."

dis gonna be good!

[Twisted-Mind]

9930575
This Spike don’t need wings, he already can fly...

[DGJabberwocky]

I'd love to see Gar-Gar's reaction to a now VERY buff Spike

[Greenhorn]

9930680
Indeed. I already imagine Spike use super move 'finger flick' to send Garble sleeping on the nearby volcano.

9930580
I just hope he won't force Spike to take his mantle and marry his daughter.

[BlurtheHedgehog]

Torch is gonna get punched in the face isn't he?

[vortex123]

9930776
“Force”!?! Even if the scepter have the ability to physically control dragons, the moment it left Torch’s claws, Spike could obliterate him in nano seconds. I’m not saying he would, I’m saying that there’s no way Torch could force Spike to do anything without that scepter. And even then, Spike’s probably strong enough to resist it.

[DarkDMan]

Oh, this chapter was good, but the next is going to be so much better!

9930786
Not before Garble!

[FoundFamily]

9930776
To MonkeyManiac: I think he'll take the specter and do this
He'll say: "You want the Scepter so bad? Here, you can have it!" And proceeds to shove it up his hole
Garble: "AHHHHH!!!! I DIDN'T WANT TO HOLD IT LIKE THIS!!!" GET IT OUT OF ME!!!!"

[CaioCoia]

Back in Ponyville, Chronoa looked up from the magazine she was reading. "Why do I suddenly have a craving for fried chicken, extra crispy?"

Like Piccolo saindo once in dragon ball abridged:
WE GOT IT, YOU ARE FROM SPACE.

In my version:
We got it, you have a crush on Spike.

[SideWinder]

Let's face it the gauntlet of fire is nothing more than the Broly abridged movie....

...He's so gosh darn cool
Garble?
but he lives with ponies and that's so dumb

[p0nypanda]

Think of it this way, Spike. The Scepter is the planet's Dragon Ball, and you are Shenron.

[caspian1a]

I want to know does Spike have his wings yet?

[Midknight Defender]

Flying over to get a better look, he spotted something yellow and slightly tarnished, as well as wing-shaped...

Nope, that's a fake. Gold doesn't tarnish. That's why it was so valued in ancient times: this magically pure metal that never corroded the way bronze, iron, silver, etc all do must be special, wooo!

Keep looking, Spikey!

"YOU FOUND IT!" She squealed, surprising Rainbow. "I could KISS you!"

Or, the actual Idol of Boreas could be an actual piece of tourist-trap fakery. If griffons aren't very smart about metallurgy and stuff.

Sorry if the moustachios tickle, Gilda. *MWAH!*

Whoever this so-called Dragonlord is, they better have a decent reason for this.

Torch is gonna have to change his name to Mop after this meeting...

[Stainless Steel Fox]

9932195 no, but he's learned the Crane levitation technique. He doesn't need them.

[HB_DS2013]

Spike can’t resist being summoned, but at least he can deck Torch in the schnoz.

[pensuka]

Bet ember would get a pomf moment if she saw spike and if she did i would laugh

[WDGaster]

9930575
I agree shouldn’t spike have his wings already or did they get obliterated in a battle

[Dusk Star Shine]

9934739

I know and if they did he could have used the Dragon Balls to wish them back unless the Eternal Dragon would have given him a gift, like the ability to regenerate lost limbs and parts.

[Draconicus the Reaper]

So the new Spike is gonna head to the Dragon Lands?...This is gonna be good

[Blue68]

Here is my prediction:
Spike:Are you Garble?

Garble:......I am Grable, whatz it to ya?

Spike:Neat! I'm gonna deck you in the snooz!

Garble:......wha-

*Crunch*

Garble: DAH! ofallthe-sonofa-

Spike:Language!

[SuperGodzilla2030]

9935123
Um... he can fly without wings, I'm sure Spike doesn't need wings.

[SideWinder]

"They could've just sent a letter, or put up a notice somewhere, but no! 'You're gonna glow and feel unpleasant until you answer this!' Whoever this so-called Dragonlord is, they better have a decent reason for this."

DragonLord Tourch: Why do I hear (boss) music?

[Haver]

Can you finish the store please thank you

[lastbreathjared]

"That's rich coming from you, Miss 'broccoli, tofu, and pimento sandwich'." Chronoa muttered in response.

Starlight: I'm an herbivore you know
