> Miraculous Dragonfly and Draconequus > by Macmeg13 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Prologue > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Many centuries ago, magic jewels bestowing extraordinary powers were created. These were; The Miraculous Through out history, heroes use these jewels for the good of the pony race. Two of these Miraculous are more powerful then the others: The ear rings of the Dragonfly, which provide the power of creation and the necklace of the Draconequus, which grants the power of destruction. According to legend, whoever controls both of these jewels at the same time will achieve absolute power." "I want that absolute power Chrysalis." said the ruff voice of a unicorn male. He looked up to his floating kwami, a small creature that looked like a changeling queen, who was looking rather nervous. "I must have those Miraculous." The small bug shook her head, flying closer the him. "But nopony knows where these Miraculous are!" Chrysalis tried to reason, the unicorn however smiled. "But I found you though my little Chrysalis." he said. He looked down to his Crystal cane, and at the very top showed a gem glowing a sickly green. "Your Miraculous," he said, toying with it. "Remind me of its power again." Chrysalis meekly nodded before speaking. "The Breezy cane allows you to give somepony there own superpowers and to make that pony your devoted follower." The unicorns smile grew. "And when it comes to luring superheroes, what can be better then creating supervillians? " he asked. The little changelings eyes grew in shock. "B-but master," she said nervously, "the Miraculous are not meant to be used for evil purposes!" "But I must have absolute power!" he shouted angerly, stomping his hoof to the ground. Chrysalis jumped as the dozens of harmless Breezy's that filled the dark rooms floor to flutter around. Not caring of them, he leaned in closer to the frightened changeling "Your Miraculous is in MY control!" he said as he pointed at her, she gasped slightly. "I am your new master now! And you must obey ME!" Chrysalis shook in absolute fright, staring at the unicorn in shock before sighing in defeat. She bowed her head. "Yes master." she muttered. He sighed before composing himself. The Breezy's still flew aimlessly in the small room, only light coming from the dim room was a large window. The stallion glared at the shaking kwami before speaking again, his voice much colder. "Now Chrysalis," he said as the Breezy's started swarming around the unicorn. "BLACK WING, RISE!" he exclaimed loudly. The small bug swallowed nervously before entering his cane, causing him to transform. Once finished, the swarming Breezy's slowly stopped circling him to reveal the unicorn but looking different. His usual gray fur was now black, and his black mane and tail was now floating without a breeze. He wore a metal crown and a red cape. He wore metallic horseshoes and his normally gray horn was curved and blood red. His cane was floating next to him in his magic. As he opened his eyes, they were now glowing the same sickly green as his cane, his pupils red and purple mist was floating from his eyes. "From this day on," he said as he looked out the window, showing a perfect view of all of Canterlot. "I shall be know as King Umbrum!" he announced before laughing menacingly. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Somewhere in Canterlot, there was another kwami. Unlike Chrysalis, this one looked like a phoenix. She was sleeping in a small makeshift bed before waking up suddenly in a panic. She quickly flew out of her hiding place to her master, an old female zebra. The zebra has rings on her neck and front right hoof, two large hoop earrings and a black and white mohawk. She was sitting down with her front hooves up, eyes closed, and was just about ready to start a massage on a blue pegasus pony, who was currently lying down in front of her, eyes closed as well. "Master," the phoenix whispered urgently, "Master!" The zebra hummed in response as she opened her eyes. Hearing the second voice, the pegasus lifted his head up but missed the kwami as she flew behind the old mare who closed her eyes once more, smiling innocently at the confused stallion. She waved her hooves at the back of the pegasus. "Hmm master, master." she said, as if it was part of the ritual, before looking back at the pegasus. "Chanting," she explained, she put her hooves together. "Its all part of the treatment." she said before continuing her chanting. "Master, master...". She then picked the pegasus back onto his hooves and started pushing him out the door. "Thank you for coming." she said while pushing the extremely confused pony. "See you again next week!" she said before closing the door on him. The small bird flew out from behind her once he was gone, still panicking. "Master!" she exclaimed. "The Breezy Miraculous, I felt its aura!" This caused the zebra to frown. "But I thought it was lost forever." she said. The phoenix shook her head. "But master, its an negative aura!" she said, growing much more nervous. "I fear it might have gone in the wrong hooves of a dark power!" This was something the zebra didn't like to hear. She put a hoof to her chin in thought. "We must find Chrysalis and her Miraculous." she said while walking to the other side of the room. "If it fell into the wrong hooves, there's no telling what evil might come upon the world!" she said, causing the kwami to gasp. The zebra however smirked as she lifted her ringed hoof. "I am to transform!" she said as she rose to her back hooves. However, she didn't get a chance to start when she winced in pain because of her back cracking. She groaned as she landed back on her front hooves, one of them rubbing her soar back. The small bird flew toward her face with a mild look of concern. "Please master be reasonable. You are..." but was interrupted by the zebra, a small smile on her face. "Still young." she finished for the kwami. "I'm only 186." With small difficulty, she turned around and started walking toward her cabinet, the fire bird floating next to her face. "But you're right Philomena, I can no longer do it alone." When arrived to the cabinet she opened the door to find dozens of potions and remedy's. On the bottom shelf, there was a a large locked box. "We'll need some help." she said as she took out the box. She put in a small code to unlock before opening it to reveal a much smaller box. This box had old designs on it and decorated with long serpents. Philomena gasped. > Chapter 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was bright and sunny day and somewhere in Canterlot, there was a small bakery of the Sparkle family called the Crystal Heart. The bakery is runned by Shining Armor, a white unicorn with a blue mane and tail, and his wife Cadance, a pink pegasus with a pink, yellow and purple mane. They were known for all their goods were made with love. The bakery is a three story building. On the first floor was the shop and the kitchen. On the second floor was the home with another kitchen, a living room and the parents bedroom. And on the third room, was the bedroom of the couples daughter, Twilight Sparkle. Twilight Sparkle was an average teen age unicorn. She has purple fur with a navy blue mane and tail with a pink and purple streak in it. Her cutie mark is a pink star with five small white stars around it. Twilight's room was purple like her fur. She had book cases filled with books in her room. Everything was neat and organised, except for her desk which was scattered with books, papers, quills, empty jars of ink and list all scattered around. Twilight was known for late night studying, and even though she had her first day of school today, last night was no different then any other. Her phone alarm went off, but Twilight was too tired to get. She groaned and placed her pillow over her head, hoping to muffle the alarm and that it would shut off soon. However, her phone was relentless. After some time has passed, her moms voice could be heard downstairs. "Twilight!" Cadance shouted. "Your alarm has been going on for 15 minutes! You're going to be late for your first day back at school!" Twilight groaned before picking up her phone with her magic and getting up. "Got it mom." she mumbled tiredly before turning off her alarm. She got out of bed and stretched, yawning loudly. After giving her mane a quick brush, She opened the door and started walking down stairs. "Coming," she said, rubbing the sleep from her eyes. She walked into the kitchen to see Cadance, happily sitting there waiting for her. Twilight gave her a kiss on the cheek before sitting down at the table. She groaned slightly as she opened the carton of milk. "I'll bet you anything that Trixie is going to be in my class again." she said, slightly annoyed. Trixie Lulamoon was one of the worst unicorn she ever met. Always thing she's the best because her father, Filthy Rich, is the mayor of Canterlot. She and her friend\servant Moondancer are the biggest bullies at the school, tormenting everyone just because she can. Unfortunately, it appears Trixie loves torturing her the most because she's a bakers daughter. Yay... "4 years in a row, is that possible?" Cadance asked. Twilight rolled her eyes slightly as she made her cereal. "Definitely, lucky me..." she said sarcastically. "Don't say that!" Cadance said, chuckling slightly. "Its the start of a new year! I'm sure everything will be just fine." she said, giving Twilight a small nuzzle. Twilight nodded as she nuzzled back, smiling. Cadance always knew how to make her feel better. She put the box of cereal next to her but unfortunately caused a chain reaction. She knocked over an orange from the bowl of fruit, causing it to roll down on a ramp of bread, then rolling on top of the butter knife, causing it to flip over onto a spoon that was in a sugar cube bowl. Dozen of sugar cubes flew out of the bowl into Twilight's cereal. The splash caused Twilight to wince as it splashed her face and causing her to knock over the open milk on the floor and the open box of cereal into the sink. Twilight groaned as she brought a hoof to her forehead. She was always such a klutz. Cadance couldn't help chuckle at the fiasco before getting paper towels to clean to mess. Twilight lifted the now half empty cereal and closing the lid properly. Cadance gave Twilight another nuzzle, causing her to smile once more. After everything was cleaned and put away, Twilight showered, packed her saddle bag with supplies and walked down stairs to the bakery. As she walked, she paused mid-step when she heard something. Out of tune singing. She chuckled and shook her head, knowing exactly who it was. Once she reached the bakery, she saw the her assumptions were correct. As Cadance was working the cash register, her father Shining Armor was singing while stocking sweets on the shelves. The large stallion turned around when he heard Twilight chuckling behind her hoof. Grinning, he levitated a small white box with the bakery's logo and gave it to her, all while still singing off key. Twilight gasped when she saw what was inside the box. "Dad this is so awesome!" she said. Inside, there was two rows of freshly baked macaroons for her class. "Glad you like them." he said, chuckling over Twilight's excitement. He closed the lid and gave it to her. "Thank you dad! My class will love them!" she said as she took the box. "You're the best!" Shining smiled as he lifted a hoof and tussled her mane. "We're the best!" he said while levitating a book. "Thanks to your amazing designs." Inside the book was the bakery's logo that Twilight drew for them. she blushed at the compliment, exited that what she drew was on the box. She giggled before jumping up and hugging her dad. However, while doing so, also dropped the box of macaroons. Quickly, Shining caught it with ease. "Woops!" he said before levitating it back to Twilight. Twilight giggled again before taking it with her magic. "Thanks." she said before leaning over to kiss her mom, then leaning toward her dad to kiss him as well. "See you tonight!" she called behind her shoulder before running off, saddle bag on and macaroons safely in her magic. The door jingled as she trotted out, wanting to make it to school on time. She was about to cross the street but stopped quickly as a car passed by. She sighed in relief and smiled as she waited for the crossing lights to change only to gasp up ahead. In the middle of the street was an old female zebra with a wooden cane, trying to cross. She turned her head to see a truck coming by quickly. Thinking fast, she ran to the old zebra and quickly pulled her in time on the other side. She tripped when they arrived, narrowly missing the truck. The zebra smiled at her on the pavement. "Thank you miss." she said as while Twilight was getting up. "What a disaster." The crossing sign changed and ponies were starting to cross. When Twilight fell, it caused her box to open and some of the macaroons fell out. She was about to grab them but she was too late when the ponies started to walk all over them. She gasped before levitating the box away, thankfully there was still a large amount of them left in the box. "Its okay," she said, smiling to the zebra. "I'm no stranger to disasters." she rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. "Besides, there's still a few left." she offered one to the old zebra, who gladly accepted. She took a bite out of it before humming in satisfaction. "Mmm, they're delicious!" Twilight smiled widely, happy that the zebra was alright. However, her smile quickly vanished when she heard a school going off. She gasped. "Oh no I'm going to be late!" she bowed her head respectively to the stranger. "Have a nice day ma'am." she said before running off quickly. The zebra watched her go before chuckling. She looked inside her saddlebag before taking out the same small box as before, however much smaller. "Thank you very much young lady." she said to herself as she put the box back into her saddle bag and walking off toward the bakery. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Twilight ran as fast as she could to the school, thankfully somepony was coming out so that left the door open when she ran in. She ran through the halls and up the stairs as quickly as possible. When she arrived at the class room, she was really out of breath. She slowly walked into the class, thankfully the teacher, Miss Cheerlilee, was occupied with another student to worry about her. "Pinkie pie, why don't you sit in the front row this year?" A pink earth pony with fizzy pink mane and a three balloon cutie mark raised her head from the back row lifted her head in slight surprise. It took her a bit to register what the teacher said since she was listening to her music before sighing slightly and lifting her saddle bag and walking to the front row. Twilight sat at the table behind her, one seat to the left. Twilight fiddled with her box, hoping it wasn't too broken from earlier, before jumping when a blue hoof slammed right next to it. In shock Twilight raised her head to see none other then the infamous smirk of Trixie Lulamoon. Great... "Twilight Sparkle." she said. Twilight groaned. "Oh here we go again..." she muttered. Trixie glared at her, putting a hoof to her chest. "That's Trixie's seat." she said. She raised an eyebrow at the blue unicorn in confusion. "But Trixie, this has always been my seat." Twilight said. Trixie rolled her eyes. "Not anymore," Twilight jumped as she turned around and saw Moondancer sitting next to her, a smirk on her face as well. "New school, new year, new seats." she said, crossing her hooves over her think wool shirt. Trixie leaned on the table. "So why don't you go sit next to that new girl over there." she said pointing to the front row. Twilight leaned to the left to see a white unicorn with purple curly mane and a three diamond cutie mark, absorbed into her phone in her magic. The unicorn turned her head and glared at Trixie, who only smirked back. Twilight looked back at Trixie. "But..." "Listen," she said, cutting off Twilight. "Rainbow Dash is arriving today and since that's going to be her seat," she pointed to the seat in front of them, next to Pinkie's. She slammed her hoof on the table and leaning in close to Twilight's face. "This is going to be Trixie's seat." she slammed her other hoof as well. "Get it?" Twilight blinked for a second before raising an eyebrow. "Whose Rainbow Dash?" she asked, never hearing that name before. Trixie stared at her before her and Moondancer laughed. "Can you believe she doesn't know who Rainbow Dash is?" she asked at Moondancer before looking at Twilight again. "What rock have you been living under?" "She's only a famous model." Moondancer said. Trixie placed a hoof to her chest. "And Trixie is her best friend. She adores me!" Twilight gave her a deadpanned look, which only caused Trixie to get more annoyed. "Go on move!" she shouted, causing Twilight to wince. "Hey!" All three of the turned around to see Rarity crossing her hooves in front of them, looking really mad. "Who elected you queen of seats?" she asked. Trixie scoffed at the unicorn. "Oh look Moondancer, we've got a little do gooder in our class this year." she said before leaning in, glaring at her. "What are you going super newbie? Shoot beams at me with your horn?" This only caused the new mare to get even angrier as she leaned in as well, causing Trixie to lean back. "Wouldn't you liked to know?" she asked before going around her and grabbing Twilight by the hoof. "Come on." she said, dragging her to the table. Twilight quickly levitated her stuff before following. However, Twilight miscalculated on where to step, causing her to trip and fall on her face. dropping her macaroons once again. Trixie laughed behind her as she frantically grabbed her fallen stuff and whats left of the macaroons, blushing in embarrassment. "Sorry, sorry!" she said as she got up and sat down. "Alright!" the teacher said as Trixie took her seat. "Has every pony found a seat?" she asked. Rarity nudge Twilight with her shoulder, giving her a small smile. "Hey relax darling, no big deal." she said with a wave of her hoof. Twilight sighed. "I so wish I can handle Trixie the way you do." Rarity chuckled as she levitated her phone. "You mean the way Radiance does it." On the screen was a superhero pony. She a blue mask and outfit with blue diamonds on it, pink bracelets and necklace and pink diamonds in her mane and tail. "She says all that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good ponies do nothing!" She place her phone down and turned her to Trixie. "While that mare over there is evil," She turned Twilight around back to the front, still a hoof around her shoulder. "we are the good ponies. We can't let her get away with it!" Twilight ears drooped slightly. "Well that's easier said then done. She like to make my life miserable." The white unicorn shook her head. "That's because you let her darling. You just need more confidence!" Twilight smiled gratefully before looking back at her box to see one macaroon left. With her magic, she lifted it and breaking it in half. She then gave one to the white unicorn, still smiling. "Twilight." she said. The mare smiled back. "Rarity." she said before grabbing the half and both of them bit into it at the same time. "For those who yet don't know me, I'm Miss Cheerily." said the magenta earth pony as she finished writing her name on the board. "I'll be your teacher this year." Trixie wasn't paying attention to a word she said though as she starred bitterly at the empty chair in front of her. She groaned slightly to herself. "Ugh, she should have been here by now." she muttered to herself. -------------------------------------------------------------------- In the city of Canterlot, a rainbow blur was flying through the sea of ponies. It was flying fast, kept looking behind her from time to time. A small saddle bag was on her back as she flew. After a bit, she stopped in front of the school for a quick breather. The blue teen aged pegasus quickly tried to catch her breath, trying to act conspicuous. It didn't help that she stopped in front of an add for perfume with her face on it. She looked behind her once more before jogging to the school. A car pulled up in front of the school and an earth pony mare with a white coat, a brown mane and tail tied in a bun, a red ascot and a cutie mark of in ink jar and a pen got out of the car, a stern look on her face. "Rainbow Dash, please reconsider!" she yelled out. The rainbow maned mare paused on the steps. "You know what your father want." she said as she walked up to the model with the driver, a minotaur, right behind her. Rainbow Dash frowned, pointing to herself. "This is what I want to do." she said. She turned around back to the school but stopped when she heard a groan. She turned her head to see an old female zebra has fallen, can slightly far from her reach. Rainbow immediately flew over to help. She landed before bending down and picking up the wooden cane. She handed it to the zebra who smiled gratefully as she got up. "Thank you young mare." she said, causing Rainbow to smile. She turned around but gasped as she saw both Raven, the earth pony secretary, and the minotaur standing at the stairs, blocking the entrance. She paused, debating to fly over them to get in before hanging her head low, sighing in defeat. She walked over to them, glaring at them both. "I just want to go to school like everypony else, what's so wrong with that?" she asked before sighing once more. "Please don't tell my dad about all this." she muttered before she was walked back into the car. Once inside, the minotaur drove away, leaving only the zebra. She nodded, smiling slightly before lifting her can and placed it in her saddle bag, whistling happily. She won't be needing it anymore. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Back inside, the bell rang meaning its the end of class. "Those of you who have Pd, mister Soaring will be expecting you at the stadium." said Cheerily as the students packed their things. One of the students, Bulk Biceps, was about to leave when another student, Dumb Bell, handed him a note. Confused, Bulk opened it. "The rest of you can head over to the library." finished the teacher, but jumped in surprise when she heard on of her students yell. "DUMB BELL!!" the white pegasus shouted, and was ready to punch the smirking Dumb Bell when Cheerily stopped him. "Bulk Biceps what is going on?" she asked, frowning. Bulk paused mid-punch before pointing at the other pegasus. "It's Dumb!" he said before going for the punch again. "You're so gonna get" "Bulk!" the teacher interrupted. "Go to the principal's office!" she said pointing at the door. Bulks eyes widened before growling under his breath as he scrunched up the note and grabbing his bag. As he walked away, he passed the giggling Trixie and Moondancer, which only made him even more angrier. -------------------------------------------------------------------- At King Umbrum's room, the large window started to open, causing the Breezy's to around when the light entered the room. Inside in the center, revealed King Umbrum opening his eyes as he felt something he enjoyed; Anger. He chuckled darkly. "This is perfect! Just what I need! Anger!" he extended his cane tighter, causing one on the Breezy's to land on it. "Madness! Burn a whole in his heart my little akuma!" he said as his horn glowed with the jewel on his cane. Absorbing the dark magic, the Breezy slowly transformed darker and more sinister looking. The once harmless Breezy was now a vicious black vampire Breezy. It flew off of the cane and towards to open slot at the window. "Fly away my little akuma! And evilise him!" he shouted with sadistic glee. The Breezy flew out of the window and now heading toward his first victim. The akuma flew quickly through the breeze, over the rooftops of Canterlot, until it arrived at the school. It flew inside and headed straight to the principals office. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Principal Cranky Doodle was busy doing paper work when his door opened. He looked up to see a large white pegasus with a blond mane and tail and a cutie mark of a large dumbbell. The donkey frowned. "Excuse me young man , has any pony taught you how to knock?" he asked, causing Bulk's frown to go deeper. "Come on! Out you go!" he said pointing out the door. "Lets try this again!" Bulk groaned as he slammed the door shut and walked two paces before turning around again. "Go on knock!" the principal shouted impatiently. However, before Bulk could even blink, the akuma flew towards him took control of the balled up paper that was still in his hoof. Bulk gasped as the dark magic took over him, possessing the biggest emotion Bulk was feeling at the moment; Revenge. The dark magic surrounded him, making him feel slightly nauseous. The feeling went away though when he heard a voice in his head, and hypnotizing glowing green eyes started back at him. Stone Heart, I am King Umbrum! Said the voice. I give you power to help you seek revenge on those who've wronged you! The hypnotized Bulk smirked evilly. "Okay King Umbrum!" he said aloud. Slowly, the ball of paper started to glow and soon engulfed his whole body. Inside the office, Cranky was still waiting for Bulk to knock, but it never came. He frowned. "Well?" he shouted through the door. "Come one in!" However, instead of a knock, the whole door broke down, causing Cranky to dodge under his desk and loosing his toopé in the process. As he shakily rose up, he gasped at what he saw. A large pegasus made of solid rock was panting angerly, pupiless eyes glowing green. "DUMB BELL!!!!!!!" The monster shouted before marching off. -------------------------------------------------------------------- In the library, both Rarity and Twilight were at a table together, reading a magazine when a huge crash was heard, causing the whole building to shake. The shake caused both of the mares to fall of of their chairs. As Twilight tried to recover, Rarity was already up and ran to Twilight. "Come on!" she said as she ran off, pulling Twilight with her. They both ran to the front desk where the security cameras were. There was already a group of students there watching to film. "Did you hear that?" a student asked as they pointed to the film. The screen was splitted in four, and on one of the screens was a huge rock shaped pegasus Stomping on the side walk in front of the school, causing a huge crater. "DUMB BELL!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted again before stomping off, trying to look for the pegasus. Cranky was shaking frantically as he looked out of his now broken window, telephone at ear. "H-hello? G-get me the p-police! G-get me the a-army!" Twilight gasped at the footage while other ponies were running around, screaming. "Whats going on?" she asked. "He had Bulks voice?" she said in disbelief. Rarity nodded in agreement. "Its almost as if he was transformed into a real life supervillain!" she squealed excitedly before checking her phone. "GPS, check! Battery, check!" She put her phone away and looked at Twilight excitedly. "I am SO out of here!" she ran off to the doors. "H-hey!" Twilight cried out, "Where are you going?" Rarity turned around, the biggest smile Twilight has ever seen on her face. "Where there's a supervillain, there's always a superhero close by! There's no way I'm missing this!" Rarity opened the doors with her magic before running off to catch up with Stone Heart. Twilight scoffed in disbelief, how can such an elegant mare be so caught up with superheros? Either way, Twilight knew she's going to get in some serious trouble if she gets too close to the walking brick wall. She looked back at the cameras to see Stone Heart trying to cross the street but a car stopped right in front of his. Angerly, the stones pegasus raised his front as the driver ran out of the car. "DUMB BELL!!!!!!!!!!!" he shouted again as he crushed the car. Then he picked it up and threw it straight to the camera, causing Twilight to scream in fright. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Canterlot is known for their large buildings, the biggest being the mayors house. However, it doesn't makes Rainbow Dash's house huge compared to the smaller houses in Canterlot. Its simple really, the ponies with most bits in the bank has the biggest house. Rainbow's family is the second richest family in all of Canterlot. And it was a very large house, according to Zecora, the old zebra. She dug in her saddle bag and grabbed another box, looking exactly like the one she took out when she met Twilight. She nodded, grinning excitedly. Inside, Raven and Rainbow were in the dining room, working on Rainbow's study. "Who was the first president of the fifth Prench republic?" Rainbow groaned, her head resting on her hoof, bored out of her mind. "Every pony thinks it was Blueblood but it was really Fancy pants before the first elections." she said. Raven stopped pacing and looked up at the bored pegasus. "Excellent Rainbow." she said. "Give me a minute, would you Raven?" she turned around to see the father at the door way. He was a gray unicorn with a tidy black mane and a dark blue suit with a red tie. Raven bowed her head. "Yes sir." she said before leaving Rainbow and her father alone, but still staying in the room. "You are not going to school, I've already told you." he said. Rainbow eyes widened as she stared at Raven in shock. Raven only stood still, not showing any emotion. She lowered her head at Rainbow's stare. Angerly, she stood up from her seat. "But father," "Everything you need is right here." he interrupted. "Here where I can keep an eye on you. I am not to have you outside in the dangerous world." Rainbow glared at her unreasonable father. "But it's not dangerous father, I'm always stuck here by myself. Can't I go out and make friends like every pony else?" she asked. "Because you are not like every pony else! You are my daughter!" he said, glaring back. Rainbow tried to think of a rebuttal, but only decided to keep her mouth shut and sighed in defeat. Her father turned around. "Continue." he said as he walked away. Raven lifted the notebook to her face. "We can leave it there for today if you..." Rainbow didn't hear the rest as she stormed off. She ran through the house to her, passing the family portrait on her way. The portrait showed three ponies looking happily. There was a younger version of Rainbow, there was her father Sombra and her deceased mother, a white unicorn mare with a rainbow mane like Rainbow, Celestia. After dumping her books on her desk, she flopped on her bed with a frustrated groan. Outside, she heard lots of crashing and sirens causing her to get up in shock. She flew downstairs and out the front door before gasping at what she saw. In front of the house, outside the gate, was a barricade of cars. blocking the street and a large angry pegasus made of stone marched in the street. The chief of police was standing on top of cop car, three other unicorns were charging their horns."Ready..." said the chief. "FIRE!" All three unicorns fired magic at the monster. The creature hunched over, groaning. For a sec, the four cops though it worked, except they didn't think that it would start glowing. Nor did they think it would grow twice as big neither. The living statue growled, causing the four coups to run away. The chief jumped off his car and ran off, behind him Stone Heart grabbed the van and threw it at him, missing him by inches. Rainbow quickly flew back in, right into her room. She hopped onto her couch and turned on the TV. Mayor Filthy Rich appeared on the screen, talking to the press. "I'm asking all of Canterlot to stay home until the situation is under control." Dozens of reporters tried to ask him questions before the clip stopped and became in the right corner as a news anchor appeared on screen. Below the screen, the words read A SUPER VILLAIN IN CANTERLOT? "As incredible as it seems, it is conformed the Canterlot is indeed being attacked by a super villain. The police has been struggling to keep under control." The chief of police appeared on screen, a sling holding his right hoof. "Be confident the strong arm of the law will be crashing down on..." He winced in pain and stopped talking as he lifted his slingged hoof. Twilight winced as well as she watched the news on her computer. "I hate first day back at school." she muttered to herself. She looked down before widening her eyes in shock. Rainbow looked down at her table as well and widened her eyes in shock. Down on both tables were the two black boxes with red serpent dragon designs on them. Both of them blinked in surprise. "Whats this doing here?" they both asked at the same time. > Chapter 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Both Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash lifted the box with their hooves before opening it. In Twilight's, there was a set of purple earrings with five green poke dots. In Rainbow's, there was a chain necklace with a colorful tornado, there was five different part of the tornado, representing the spinning motion. Both jewels started to glow and a large ball of light came out, blinding both ponies. Once the light dimmed down, Twilight gasped to see a small floating dragon. Twilight immediately screamed in fright as she backed away. She stood on her hind legs and used her front hooves like a shield, looking like she knows karate when really she knows nothing about any sort a self defense what so ever. "Help!!!" she screamed as the dragon kwami flew closer to her. "It's a..." she paused, not knowing what it is. "Giant bug! Uh... A mouse! A bug mouse!!!" she said, backing away as it flew closer. "Everything's okay!" said the happy dragon to the freaked out unicorn. "No need to be scared." Twilight blinked once before trowing everything she had at him, all while screaming. The dragon dodged them effortlessly. "Hey stop!" ------------------------------------------------------- Rainbow shielded herself from the light. When she opened her eyes, she saw... she didn't know what she was looking at. The small kwami yawned, as if wakened up from a nap. Rainbow got a closer look at it before smiling widely. "No way! You're like the genie in the lamp!" So awesome! she thought. The little draconequus smirked at the blue pegasus. "I met him once, so he grants wishes big deal." he said with a wave of a lion paw. "I'm WAY more impressive. Discord, nice to meet you." he flew away from the stunned mare to the Foosball table. "Ooh, shiny!" he said, taking a bite of one of the players. "No!" Rainbow said, snapping out of it. "Don't touch that!" She leaped to grab him but he flew out of her grasp. "Hey! Come back here." The draconequus didn't listen however, too busy flying around the large, expensive room. "Ooh! Shiny!" he repeated, flying to a video game. "Can you eat this?" he asked before taking a bite of the controller. He spat out a piece in his mouth. "Ew no you can't, OOH!" he flew away, another shiny thing catching his eye. Rainbow flew to him but once again missed. "Ooh! What about this?" he asked. Rainbow groaned, the thing had the attention span of a 2 year old! ------------------------------------------------------- Twilight had a really bad day, sure. Sometimes, her mind would get the best of her when she gets really stressed, she would admit. But even she wouldn't have came up with something as crazy as a floating dragon in her bedroom, who was really good at dodging things no less. "Listen Twilight!" he said, still trying to calm the unicorn down. "I know everything may seem a bit strange but..." Twilight, however, didn't let him finish as she pounced on him with a jar in her magic grip. She slammed it on him, trapping him on the inside. The little dragon sighed, rolling his eyes. "Okay, if that will make you feel safer." "What are you?" Twilight asked, still lying on the floor. "And how do you know my name?" The little kwami smiled. "I'm a kwami, and my name is Spike!" he said proudly. "Now, just let me explain..." ------------------------------------------------------- Back at Rainbows, it was total chaos. Discord was flying around crazy, trying to eat everything he can put his claw/paw on. Rainbow was surprised her father didn't come up to see what was going on. Scratch that, she would've been surprised if he did. While Discord was munching into her TV remote, Rainbow flew up behind him before pouncing on him, making him drop the remote. "I still don't know what you're doing here." she said. Discord rolled his eyes, looking at her with a bored expression. "Look, I'm a kwami. I grant powers. Your's the power of destruction, got it?" Rainbow paused, trying to process everything, or anything for that matter, but shaking her head. Discord smirked, amused. "Good, now do you have anything to eat?" he turned his head a full 360 degree, looking around her room. "I'm starving!" he gave her a pouty face for good measures. Rainbow paused again for a moment, slightly creeped out by the spinning head, before smirking herself. "Father's pranking me right?" she paused again when Discord gave her a deadpan look. "Wait no he couldn't, he has no sense of humor." Discord flew out of her hoof, making her jump slightly. "Your father must never know that I exist! Or any pony for that matter." he said, now looking serious. Rainbow couldn't believe how many mood swings he gave her in the few minutes they met. ------------------------------------------------------- Before Spike could began to speak, Twilight went to open the hatch under her. "Mom, Dad!" she yelled out. "Nonononononono! SHH!!" Spike flew through the glass jar and up to Twilight, scarring her once again. "I'm your friend Twilight! You must trust me! You're the only one who can stop Stone Heart!" Twilight was still staring at him, still trying to get over the fact that the small dragon was in front of her instead of the jar. ------------------------------------------------------- "Do you think they'll be up to it master?" Philomena asked Zecora, watching her put away all the other Miraculous. "I only got it wrong once, I will never happen again! At least... I hope not." she gently closed the box with a click. Then placing it in the bigger box, then hiding it back into her closet of potions. ------------------------------------------------------- "This has to be some mistake!" Twilight said, pacing in her room. "The only super power I could have is super awkwardness." She then gasped, in idea coming to her head. "I know! Rarity would know! She's my friend!" she said proudly before deflating a little. "Well I think she would, she loves super heroes! She would totally be up to the job! You should see her!" "Twilight!" Spike said, flying close to her face. Twilight winced, backing up slightly. "You're the chosen one!" ------------------------------------------------------- "But I'm stuck here!" Rainbow exclaimed, having heard the same thing Twilight has. "I'm not even allowed to go to school!" she stomped her hoof on the ground angerly. She was never a school to began with, but she'd prefer it over total lock down. "What's good a super hero who's imprisoned in her own house?" "No good!" Discord said, juggling some of Rainbows things. "That's why it's all going to change soon." he dropped all the items before flying circles around the pegasus head, holding the necklace in his claw. "If you're willing that is..." he waved it in front of her shocked face, smirking while doing so. She then frowned with determination, taking the necklace. ------------------------------------------------------- "Okay," Twilight said nervously, putting at the ear rings with her magic. "all I have to do is break the object where the whatchamacallit is hiding?" she asked, putting on the ear rings. "It's called an akuma." Spike corrected. "Which you must in capture!" Twilight nodded with determination. "Got it. Capture it." then she looked unsure again. "And what's that flame thing again?" Spike gave her an encouraging smile. "It's called Flame Assistant!" he said excitedly. "It's your secret super power!" Twilight sighed. "This is all going too fast Spike! I-I..." she groaned. "I wont be able to pull this off!" Spike shook his head. "Just trust yourself Twilight! Just say 'Claws on!'" Twilight gave him one last nervous look before sighing again. "Claws On?" The ear ring started to glow, scaring her as she felt a rush of power. Spike smiled before being absorbed into the ear rings. "What is happening?" Twilight asked before gasping as she began to transform. Her whole body felt like in was covered with scaly fabric as it covered her body. She became a lighter shade of purple with a green stomach. The costume covered every inch of her body, hiding her cutie mark completely. Dark purple claws appeared on her front hooves and green bumps that matched her stomach on her back. Her mane stayed the same while her tail turned into the shade of purple as well. She felt something grow on her back and as she turned her head, she was surprised to see two leathery wings on her back. She felt her teeth grow sharper inside her mouth and lastly, a purple mask appeared over her eyes, changing them so they became slits, almost like cat eyes. ------------------------------------------------------------ Rainbow Dash placed the necklace around her neck and posed in the mirror. She liked it, it looked really awesome! (Even more awesome now that's it's on her.) She's happy her father couldn't read her thoughts because he would have chat used her for being too "egotistical". Ever since her mother died, her father became much colder, and that's saying something compared to how he was before, making her call him father. All she ever wanted was to make him proud, she even took the modeling gig just to please him. At first it was fun, showing off and stuff, but after a month or two she was really starting to regret taking it to began with. All she wants to do is fly, but with modeling and her father's extreme rules, all she can do is smile and nod. On the out side she's a polite and proper, but on the inside is a mare dying for some speed, freedom and mischief. And this necklace around her neck is her ticket back to her regular self! After posing a little longer, she looked back at Discord who popped his head out of her trash can, spitting out a ball of paper. "Chaos out, that's how you transform." he said, knowing what she was about to ask. 'Chaos out' huh? Rainbow thought, then smirked. Well I can use a little chaos right now. She puffed out her chest, wings flared. "Got it! Discord, Chaos out!" Discords eyes widened, not expecting to get transformed yet. "Wait! Wait!" he said, holding onto the garbage can as he began to get sucked in. "I'm not done exploiting...!" Energy filled Rainbow Dash as she began to transform. She too wore a suit all over her body, covering her cutie mark. Her torso was brown while her neck became gray. While one wing stayed the same, her other wing became leathery, almost like a dragon or a bat. All four of her hooves changed as well; her back right turned into a goat hoof while the left one became a lizard claw, and her front right hoof became an eagle claw while her left became a lion paw. Her mane stayed the same while but her tail became red with a bit of white at the bottom. Two horns grew at the top of her head, one gazelle and one deer. A gray mask to match her neck appeared on her face changing her eyes so that they became yellow and one of her pink irises became smaller while the other became larger, her pupils becoming white. Once transformation complete, she looked at herself in the mirror. "Too awesome!!!" she practically squealed, flapping her new wings excitedly. Lets take this for a test spin shall we? ------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight gaped at the mirror in front of her. Not believing any of this. She looked like a dragon! She spun around, looking for a button, a zipper, a switch, anything! She groaned, looking away. "How am I supposed to take this off?" She looked around the room for the floating dragon. "Spike? If you can hear me right now, I'd like my normal close back!" she looked around, hearing nothing but silence. "Look, I'm not going anywhere..." she was interrupted when she heard something. The computer, she forgot to close it. The news was still playing about Stone Heart, it showed him walking in the streets of Canterlot. "After breaking the train station, Stone Heart is heading to the observatory! This Monster seems to be unstoppable..." The news archer continued speaking but Twilight zoned out once she saw who was following Stone Heart from behind. She squinted before gasping, recognizing the mare. "Rarity?" Her mothers voiced made her jump. "Twilight!" she heard from the below. "Did you get home okay?" Freaking out, knowing she didn't have time left before her mother got up stairs, she quickly ran to the roof. "Oh yeah mom, just super!" she called back, making it to the hatch right as Cadance opened hers. "Twilight? You in here?" Twilight quickly got out of her room and onto the roof where she liked to relax and read on sunny days. She really hoped nun of the neighbors would see her in the outfit. She closed the door behind her before sighing. "Okay, I have special powers..." she said to herself, examining the costume once again. "And..." she looked at her belt and just noticed a heart shaped yo-yo. "this super awesome yo-yo thingy?" she played with it a bit before putting it back on the belt, it might come in use later. She looked nervously at her new wings, not knowing what to do. She's seen Cadance use hers all the time with no difficulty, so it shouldn't be that hard to fly... right? She took a deep breath before opening them. Unfortunately, fate decided to play a cruel joke as a large breeze started to blow past her, shooting her high in the sky. Naturally, she screamed as she flew away. ------------------------------------------------------------ On top of the rooftops, Rainbow was having fun with her new found freedom as she walked carelessly around on her pole she found on her belt. It looked like a giant candy cane. "I'm getting the hang of this." she said smugly to herself as she walked in between houses on the pole. However, she raised her head in confusion as she heard screaming heading closer and closer. As she looked up, her eyes widened as she saw a dragon/pony fall to the sky right toward her. No time to react, it crashed right into her and they both fell from the pole to the streets below. Luckily, Twilight's yo-yo caught on the pole, breaking both of their falls. Unfortunately, they both got tied up in her strings, causing both of them to swing back and forth. Rainbow groaned, ready to give this clumsy flier a piece of her mind before pausing when she got a good look of her. Well isn't she cute? she thought. "Well hey there," she said, smirking a devilish smirk. "Nice of you to drop by." she snickered at her own pun. Twilight however would've rolled her eyes and groaned if she wasn't so flustered at the moment. "Sorry!" she said as she started to untie themselves. "I didn't do this on purpose." she gave Rainbow a nervous smile as they both landed on the ground. Rainbow dusted herself off before smirking excitedly at Twilight. "I bet you're the partner my kwami told me about! I'm... mm..." she paused. Here she is in front of another of another pony and she couldn't even come up with a super hero name! Come on! Think Dash! Then an idea came to her. "Draconequus." she nodded, as if approving the idea herself. "Yeah! Draconequus." So awesome! She turned to Twilight. "And you?" Twilight was still trying to get her yo-yo free from Draconequus pole when she asked. Twilight gave her a nervous grin, herself trying to think of a name. "I um..." she paused as she got her yo-yo free. She opened her hooves to catch it but instead it fell on top of Draconequus head. She groaned as she rubbed at her soar spot, Twilight giving her a sheepish look. "madly clumsy, very clumsy sorry!" she finished. Draconequus gave her a smirk as she picked up her candy cane stripped pole. "No sweat clumsy girl, I'm learning the ropes too!" Both of them jumped when a large crash was heard, causing the ground to shake. They both looked up to see a large building collapsing! Twilight paused, not knowing what to do. Rainbow, springing into action, placed her pole in her belt and flew up to the rooftops. "H-hey wait!" Twilight called out. "Where are you going?!" Rainbow turned to Twilight with a big cocky grin and a wave of her hoof. "To save Canterlot right?" she said before flying off. Twilight groaned, looking down at her yo-yo in her hoof. "Trust yourself, trust yourself..." she muttered to herself, putting it back in her belt. With a deep breath she opened her wings once more and took off, trying to remember all the books she read on flying. It didn't help much... ------------------------------------------------------------ Back at the school, the soccer team just finished tryouts and was packing up for the day. Dumb Bell was in the middle of packing his bag when the whole stadium shook. Some ponies screamed and ran, others were frozen with fear, Dumb Bell one of them. On top, Stone heart was growling, looking across the field before locking eyes with Dumb Bell. "DUMB!!!" he growled, causing every frozen pony to run away, all for except Dumb Bell. This caused Stone to smile widely. "SO, WHO'S THE WUSS NOW!!!!" he opened his wings and glided down in front of him. Getting his senses back, the brown pegasus ran away screaming, Stone running right behind him. Unfortunately he tripped while running. Panicking as the stoned pegasus approached, all he could do was hide under his hooves praying for help. Thankfully, help arrived. A candy cane stripped pole landed right in between the two, causing Stone Heart to stop running. He growled as a pony/draconequus landed in front of him with a cocky smirk. Dumb Bell didn't bother to ask as he got up and ran for his life. "Hey, it isn't very nice to pick on some pony that's smaller then you!" she said, placing the pole back in her belt. Stone glared, growling at her. "WELL THEN I GUESS YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT YOURSELF!!!" Stone pounced on Draconequus but she quickly dodge. He may be big and strong, but he wasn't the fastest. ------------------------------------------------------------ The whole time, King Umbrum was watching through Stone Heart, enjoying to show. At first, he enjoyed the random burst of destruction but now things were getting interesting! After all this time, he finally found a Miraculous! He laughed maniacally. "Everything is going as planned!" he said to himself, "Dragonfly and Draconequus Miraculous have been activated! Now here they come to save the day! And now my super villain will destroy them!" He laughed once again! Soon everything will have absolute power! ------------------------------------------------------------ Draconequus jumped at another blow from Stone Heart, loving every second of the action. Never had she felt so free in her life! She dodge him again before flying up and slamming her pole on his head. He growled, getting much more frustrated at the colorful freak. He glowed once again, surprising Draconequus as he grew twice as big. He turned around to her and stomped his hoof, causing the ground to shake. Draconequus stood on her hind legs, pole in hooves, and groaned with frustration. "Where are you partner?!" she shouted before dodging once again. ------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight was freaking out. She was no stranger to freaking out, she freaked out before. But not like this, never like this! She was at the top a the stadium, her new wings twitching nervously as she watched the battle below. She bit her lip, not knowing what to do. What can she do? She groaned, burying her face in her new claws. "Oh! I can't! I'm not going to be able to do it!" ------------------------------------------------------------ Rarity couldn't believe it! She just couldn't believe! A Real. Live. Superheroes!!!! I was too good to be true! When she was just a filly, she always dreamed to meet a super hero! And thank to Stone Heart, she now has a front row seat in the amazing action! Sure it was risky, she had a few close calls when following him. Alright, an LOT of close calls. But right now, with her phone in her magic, it was SO worth it! She walked closer, trying to got at the newest hero, the Draconequus. An interesting idea, she must admit. Draconequus dodged another blow from Stone Heart effortlessly, causing the stoned beast to growl in anger. Furiously, he grabbed the soccer net and threw it at her. Obviously, the draconequus hero dodged it but unfortunately, it headed straight towards the white unicorn. Draconequus gasped, not noticing her before. Rarity couldn't move. She was frozen in fright, her mind blank. Thinking fast, Draconequus threw her pole, stopping the net before it hit Rarity. Draconequus sighed in relief, however it was short lived because, since she was unarmed and distracted, didn't noticed when Stone Heart grabbed her from behind. Rarity gasped, not knowing what to do. She looked up to see another super hero, a alicorn bug/dragon to be exact. She would've been excited if the hero wasn't just standing there. "What are you waiting for super purple bug?" she called out, getting the stunned heroes attention. "The world is watching you!" ------------------------------------------------------------ She couldn't breath. Twilight couldn't breath. Her breath came in short gasps as she tried to get control of the situation. It would help if her heart wasn't beating so hard that it was deafening! She looked at her new friend Rarity, who was looking at her with pleading eyes. She looked at Draconequus, who was struggling in Stone Heart iron grip. I can't do this! I can't do this! I can't STOP!!! Twilight shook her head, frowning in determination. Rarity was right! What is she waiting for? They needed her help! It's a time for action! She can't back out now! I CAN do this! She gripped on her red heart yo-yo in her magic and opened her wings. Without a hint of hesitation, she jumped off the top and flew down to Stone heart. She threw her yo-yo, wrapping it around his legs. He paused and looked down, seeing her fly under him and glided in front of him, braking in a dramatique pose. She smirked. "Animal cruelty? How shameful!" she pulled the string, causing Stone to lose his balance and let go of Draconequus. The large pegasus fell on his back as Draconequus rolled into the other soccer net. Rarity looked in awe at the other hero. "Yes!" she cheered. Twilight ran to her new partner, who was quickly getting up in a haze. "Sorry it took so long Draconequus." Draconequus brushed some dust off her costume. She looked at the alicorn with an easy going smile. Even though she almost got killed, this was the most fun she had in years! "It's no problem wonder dragon. Now lets kick his rocky behind!" She flew up, ready for round two, but stopped midair by her tail. She looked behind to see her partner with an unamused look. "Wait, haven't you noticed he gets bigger and stronger with every attack?" she asked, letting go of her tail. Draconequus flew back down, giving Twilight her full attention, which was something really hard to do. "We have to do something different." Draconequus raised her eyebrow. "Different how?" Twilight paused, humming in thought as she rubbed under her chin with her hoof. "I don't know..." "Okay then!" Twilight jumped as she saw her partner turn around. "We'll use our powers!" "CHAOS CLAW!!"she exclaimed, lifting her talon. Her necklace glowed as the five colors glowed brightly. The colors traveled through her body and too her eagle claw, causing it to glow the same colors as the necklace. Once finished, she flapped her wings, so not to touch the ground. She waved it in front of Twilight, showing it off with a smirk. "Apparently I can destroy what ever I want." she said smugly, trying to impress her. Twilight sighed, rolling her eyes slightly. "I don't need a super power to destroy everything." she muttered under her breath. Draconequus turned to the soccer net they were in and touched it, trying to prove herself. Twilight gasped. What is she doing? "Wait stop!" But it was too late. The net slowly started to rot, the whole thing turning black and braking into pieces. Draconequus grinned widely. "Whoa cool!" she turned her attention to Stone Heart, who was struggling to get up. "Alright, it's just you and me, Soon-to-be ruble!" she flew toward him. "No Draconequus wait!" Draconequus flew to the stone giant, claw out stretched. She landed dramatically, claw on his chest. She waited. And waited. It wasn't working. Her eyes widened in confusion as she lifted and placed it back on a few times. She looked up at the angry pegasus with a nervous grin. "Uh-oh... Guess I only get one shot with my power." Stone Heart raised his hoof before kicking her, causing the foolish hero to fly through the field and crash in front of Twilight. She groaned, stomping her claw angerly. "Now you have five minutes before you change back!" she said, frowning as the draconequus dusted herself off again. "Didn't your kwami explain anything to you?" Draconequus gave sheepish, just now remembering on that bit of information. "I guess i was a little excited with my new life." she said with a relaxed shrug. Twilight smirked, reaching for her yo-yo with a claw. "Well not to me!" she threw it in the air before shouting: "FLAME ASSISTANT!" The heart ruby yo-yo spun as it coursed with magic. Green flames came out of the yo-yo as an object was created within the fire. Once done, the flames extinguish themself to reveal... a purple and green jump suit? Draconequus snorted in amusement. "Super power." she jokingly. Twilight blinked in shock. "My kwami told me I have to brake the object with the whatchamacallit..." she paused, shaking her head. "akuma, is hiding." Draconequus nodded, examining the rock freak. "Well, he's made entirely out of stone..." she tried, causing Twilight to roll her eyes as she as he approached. She squinted, trying to look for something, anything really, that might give them a clue. Then she noticed his hoof and her eyes widened. "His hoof!" she said, pointing at it. "It's closed! He never opens it!" That's where it must be! "Its like a Yackyackenstan doll! The object isn't on him, it's hidden in his fist!" Twilight smiled, she figured it out! Draconequus smiled with her. "So what's your plan?" Twilight looked around, trying to find something that would help. She was always good when it comes to noticing small details. She looked at his fist, then at Rarity who was still filming, then at the water faucet for the hose, and she followed it all the way to where they were standing. She's got it! She pointed the hose at their hooves. "This!" she said, picking it up with her magic. She then quickly tied it to the head whole of the suit and tied all four of the hooves holes as well. She then wrapped her yo-yo around Draconequus legs, surprising her. "Don't resist! Trust me!" she said before spinning her around. "THIS MARE'S CRAZY!!!" she screamed, feeling nauseous. Twilight let go, causing Draconequus to fly toward Stone Heart. In confusion, he grabbed the pony, not noticing he has now occupied his only free hoof. "Catch me if you can!" Twilight exclaimed flying toward them, suit and hose in magic. She smirked as Stone went up to catch her, letting go of the akumatized object. He grabbed her and Draconequus gave her a panicked, but Twilight wasn't through yet. "Rarity!" she shouted, getting the reporters attention. "The tap!" Rarity looked confused for a moment before looking to the side and seeing it. Quickly, she ran towards it and turned it on. Water filled the hose, traveling through it all the way to the suit,causing it to fill. Stone struggled to keep his grip but as the suit got bigger and bigger, he had no choice but too let go of her. Quickly, Twilight landed and ran toward the evil purple glowing ball. She then raised her claws and stomped on it, breaking it and revealing a vampire Breezy. It flew away and as it did, Stone Heart dissembled and crumbled to the ground. Draconequus groaned as she fell out of his grip. Soon the rocks disappeared into smoke, revealing a disoriented Bulk Biceps. Draconequus stared in awe before smiling widely at Twilight, her heart thumping in her chest. "This mare is awesome!" she said to herself, wide eyed and impressed. "She's crazy awesome!" Twilight looked up in the direction of the Breezy went, seeing its form getting smaller and smaller. She couldn't help but be proud! Not only did she saved her new friend, but she might be getting the hang of the whole super hero thing! She looked down and gasped slightly as the broken purple ball transformed back into a crumpled ball of paper. She giggled, finding all of this surreal. Bulk groaned as he got up, rubbing his head. He blinked in surprise as he saw that he was no longer in front of the principals office, but in the now broken soccer filed. "Whoa... whats going on?" he looked around and saw two ponies, dressed in weird/awesome costumes. "What am I doing here?" he asked, looking at the two. Draconequus couldn't hold in her excitement as she turned to Twilight. "You were incredible miss... uh...." Twilight smiled at her new partner, feeling proud and excited as well. As Draconequus tried to struggle with her name, Twilight was thinking about it too.Well, I can't be a hero with out a name! She'll think about it later. "dragon lady," Draconequus finished, causing Twilight to giggle and rub the back of her head. "you did it!" she shook her head. "We both did it partner!" As if they were both thinking alike, they both smacked their hooves together. "Pound it!" they both said at the same time, it felt right! Unfortunately, Draconequus necklace started to beep. They both looked to see that the last part of the tornado was flashing. Twilight gasped, knowing what that meant. "You should get going, our identities must remain secret." she said. Deep down in Draconequus, she felt the need to stay and get to know her new awesome partner. They just met and already she didn't want to leave her alone! She sighed, feeling confused. Instead, she bowed at the alicorn, giving her a Cheshire grin. "Fair well my lady." she said before flapping her wings, hovering in the air. "Lets do this again soon okay?" With one last salute, she flew up and away from Twilight. She chuckled. "Uh-huh, but not too soon I hope!" she called back, but doubt her new mischievous partner heard her. She turned around and her smile fell as she saw the state Bulk was in, all sad and alone. She sighed, not knowing what to do. She looked down and the ball of paper in her claw and curiously opened it. You haven't even have the guts to tell Fluttershy you love her! Wuss! said the note. She remembers Fluttershy, she's the shy mare in her class. She didn't know Bulk had a thing for her! That is so adorable! She awed as she turned to him. Bulk sighed trying to wrack his brain for a clue onto whats going on. He sighed as he saw Twilight approach him with the open letter. He sighed again, but this time in disappointment. "Dumb Bell wrote that." he mumbled bitterly. "He's always making fun of me..." Twilight crouched down to his level, placing a claw on his shoulder and giving him an encouraging smile. "Well you shouldn't get bent out of shape about that." he looked up to her, his ears perking up. "There's no shame in telling some one you love them Bulk." He smiled at her, before frowning in confusion. "Hey, how do you know my name miss?" Her eyes widened. Way to go you idiot! her head screamed. She paused, trying to think of an answer. Thankfully, Rarity came to the rescue with her phone, still video tapping. "Uncanny! Amazing! Spectacular!" she exclaimed, a large grin on her face. "Are you gonna be protecting Canterlot for now on?" she asked, staring expectantly at Twilight. "How did you get your powers? Did you get bit by a radioactive dragonfly? Oh I've got a ton of questions to ask you!" Twilight stared like an idiot at the camera, not knowing what to say or do. So, instead of answering, she turned around and started to walk away, opening her wings in the process. "Oh wait miss... uh..." Rarity paused, not knowing her name. However, Twilight smiled, already came up with one. She turned her head, looking behind her shoulder to see Rarity and Bulk staring at her, waiting for a response. "Umm, Dragonfly." she said, posing dramatically for effects. "Call me Dragonfly!" she turned around and took off, leaving a purple and green stripe behind. Rarity couldn't hold her excitement. "Dragonfly!" she repeated, trying the name for herself. "Super awesome!" She video tapped Dragonfly as she flew away, feeling new hope for their city. She couldn't wait to put this online! And that she did. ------------------------------------------------------------ "So thanks to this amateur footage, the ponies of Canterlot know the identities of their heroes!" the news ancher said. Twilight was literally bouncing in her seat. She couldn't believe it! She made the news! "I did it Spike!" she practically squealed as the small dragon flew to Twilight. "See! You were up to it!" he said, giving her a small nuzzle. Twilight nuzzled back happily. "Twilight!" her mother called from below, "Dinner time!" She smiled as she got out of her chair and racing down stairs. As she got there, she heard the mayors voice coming from the TV. "I am pleased to announced that we will be organizing a huge celebration in honor of our cities new protectors!" Twilight smiled as she sat down. Maybe this was a good thing after all. ------------------------------------------------------------ Discord flew to the TV, watching the same news channel as well. "Dragonfly and Draconequus!" the mayor exclaimed, causing the people to cheer. Rainbow, who was watching on the couch, blushed as she smiled like an idiot. "Dragonfly." he said, it sounded SO right! "Her name is Dragonfly." Her dreaming was however interrupted as Discord flew in with some carrots in his paw. "EW! What is this?!" he said, clearly disgusted. Rainbow groaned, frowning at the annoying kwami. "Hey, our personal chef made those!" she said, annoyed. Discord threw them on the ground. "If you expect me to get my energy back from a transformation i will need something more..." he paused, trying to come up with the right words. "fluffy." Rainbow rolled her eyes and sighed. "Okay! What do you want?" she asked. Discord smirked mischievously. ------------------------------------------------------------ The akumatized Breezy flew all over Canterlot, following the breeze as it went higher and higher. Finally, it landed on top of the highest tower. The seemingly harmless Breezy was more dangerous then any pony has expected, since it was still possessed with dark magic. It began to multiply, getting bigger and bigger in numbers. What Canterlot didn't know is that Stone Heart was just a small part in King Umbrums master plan for ultimate power... ------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight was humming happily as she washed the dishes, still in a happy buzz from earlier. A sound however, she turned to see that it was her mother gasping at the news. "Just as Canterlot was about to celebrate the appearance of our two new superheroes, Dragonfly and Draconequus, a new wave of panic sweeping across the city as dozens of ponies are mysteriously transformed into stone monsters! It's simply unbelievable!" the news ancher said, showing dozens of innocent ponies turned to replica statues of Stone Heart. Twilight and her family gasped but unlike her parents, Twilight was feeling most responsible. Tears threaten to spill as she turned away and ran to her room. She didn't know how, but she knew one thing... This was my fault! ------------------------------------------------------------ Rainbow sat with a annoyed look on her face as Discord happily munched on his food. "Cotton candy..." she said, rolling her eyes. "Fantastique! All he eats is Cotton candy which means now I'm going to be sticky everywhere..." she stopped herself when the news caught her attention. "These victims transformed into stone beings are now stone like statues! Police are perplexed! What will happen to them? Will they come to life or be frozen in time forever?" Rainbow jumped from her seat. Why are there still stone monsters around? "Discord, whats going on? I thought we defeated him!" In Twilight's room, she was asking the same questions to her kwami. They both turned around at their masters, a confused look on their faces. "Did you catch the akuma?" they asked. Twilight blinked, confused. "What does capturing the akuma have to do with the other stone beings?" Spike flew to the screen, pointing at a picture of the statues. "An akuma can multiply!" he said frantically, moving his little claws. "That's why it must be captured! If Bulks emotions come negative again and the akuma turn him back into Stone Heart then he will be able to control the stone beings and turn them back to life and serve as his army!" Twilights eyes widened in shock. "Well that mean... this is all my fault?!" she exclaimed, however not totally surprised. "I knew it! I told you Spike, I'm not cut out to be a super hero! I'm only going to keep messing up!" Spike shook his little head vigorously, keeping an encouraging smile. "Keep calm! It was your first day!" Twilight turned her back on him, not wanting to look in his hopeful eyes. "You're going to go back and capture Stone Hearts akuma and do it successfully!" Twilights breath hitched. Go back? He expects her to go back?! She turned back around, back at Spike, shaking her head in fright. "I can't! I told you, I'm clumsy! I create disasters all the time! I'll only make things worse for me, for you, for every pony! Draconequus is better off without me..." she turned around again, making her mind. "I'm quitting." Spike gasped. ------------------------------------------------------------ "So I can't do anything without Dragonfly?" Rainbow asked incredulously. Discord shrugged, taking another bite of his Cotton candy. "Only Dragonfly can catch the akumas and repair damage made from super villains." ------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight walked to her mirror, Spike flying nervously behind her. She sighed, looking at herself in the mirror. "If Draconequus can't capture the akumas then find another Dragonfly." she turned to him with an hopeless look. "I told you, I'm not cut out to be a Dragonfly!" Spike looked at Twilight with a pleading look. He gasped as she reached for the ear ring. "I'm sorry Spike..." Spike reached out his claw. "No! Don't!" but it was too late. With a click, the magical jewelry was off. Twilight sighed and looked up, ready to apologies but paused when she saw she was alone. "Spike?" she asked looking around. She sighed, at the verge of tears once again. This was it. She turned around and placed the ear ring back in their box and into her drawer, out of sight, out of mind. Her vision blurred as she collapsed to her knees, tears streaming down her cheeks. "I'm really sorry Spike..." ------------------------------------------------------------ King Umbrum laughed gleefully, all is going according to plan. "Bulk has a sensitive heart, it won't be long before anger and sadness strike again!" he watched as the original Breezy flies back into the room. He raised his cane and the Breezy landed on it, getting absorbed inside the jewel. "And he and the stone beings come alive! Then we'll see how long you remain Dragonfly and Draconequus! Once I have your Miraculous, you will be powerless against me! "Every pony will be powerless against me!! "I will have absolute power!!!" He laughed maniacally as his window closed, draping him in total darkness. Everything is going his way. Soon my pretties, you will be mine... Soon! > Chapter 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- One whole day. It took one whole day to cause this much havoc. Dozen of ponies, frozen in stone statues all around Canterlot. The park, the streets, even some near Canterlot tower, the largest tower in Equestria. Normally, ponies would walk around on a beautiful sunny day like today. Do some shopping, take in the sights, go for walks, but now every pony is hidden indoors, scared that they might be next to freeze in stone. It's surprising that the school was even open today! Twilight and her father were both in the kitchen, cleaning up from breakfast, as they watched the news. "Beings are scattered all over Canterlot, and for the time being they show no signs of movement." said the news anchor, showing different stone statues in different poses. "Police have corned off the areas." The Mayor appeared on screen, the chief of police in the back round, arm still in a sling. He was talking to a large group of press. "We won't stop until we find a way to bring these people back to their normal selves!" he announced, the chief nodding in the back. The earth pony then smiled apologetically at the audience. "But we're not making much head way..." The news anchor appeared on screen once again, this time with a picture of Draconequus and Dragonfly. "Canterlot are relying on our new guardian angels, Dragonfly and Draconequus, to save us all. Our lives depend on them." Twilight froze, her breath hitched. Our lives depend on them. Over and over did that line repeated in her head. How can they rely on her? She messed this up to begin with! How can they still trust her, when she can't even trust herself at the moment. She practically jumped when she felt a hoof on her shoulder. She turned around to see her father Shining giving her an encouraging smile. "Look, I know how upsetting and scary this is, but don't worry Twily. We've got two super heroes looking after Canterlot!" Twilight couldn't help but flinch, but he didn't notice as he continued. "And the best way of helping them is to show them we're not scared, because we trust them!" Twilight shook her head, she felt guilty enough and even though she knew her father was trying to help, it only made her feel worse! "But what if Dragonfly fails?" she muttered, looking away from him. He looked at her and gave her a large grin, levitating a rolling pin. "Then I'd come and save you!" he swung the rolling pin around in his magic, as if like a sword. "Super Baker to the rescue!" he said, posing dramatically. Twilight couldn't help but chuckle. He always knew how to cheer her up. She leaned in and hugged him tightly. "Thanks super dad!" she said, giving a kiss on the cheek before climbing up her room, getting ready for school. Shining Armor smiled, happy to cheer her up. Twilight quickly got her bag ready and gave her mane one last look over. She was about to leave when she paused at her dresser, more specifically her drawer. Spike... She sighed, still feeling guilty. She hesitated for a moment before opening the drawer and taking out the box. She levitated a small purse and placing it inside before closing it. She didn't have to be a hero, but she knew who would. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7:35 Raven hummed as she turned away from the clock. Rainbow Dash was late for their morning lesson. "What's she doing?" she muttered to herself, before going up to investigate. She opened the door to her room, expecting her to be asleep or something, only to find it empty. "Rainbow Dash?" she called out, only for silence to answer her. She gulped, Sombra was not going to like this.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "And you didn't see her leave?!" Raven and the minotaur shook their heads. After looking all over the house, it was clear that she wasn't inside any longer. Though she escaped many times before, this was one of the many rare moments when she left unnoticed. They both knew that he preferred Rainbow indoors, but of course the pegasus never liked to stay still. Currently, he was scolding the two at the bottom of the stairs, fury clear in his eyes as he raised his voice. "And if anything happens to my daughter, you'll be held responsible!!" They both nodded, Raven already having an idea on where she might be. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rainbow flew as quickly as she could. Thanks the Discord, she managed to escape the house but knew they would catch on soon. She just hopped she made it to school before they did. Discord flew out of her bag to fly in front of her face. "You're such a strange kid." he said shaking his head slightly. "Who would want to go to school when you can stay at home all day!" Rainbow shook her head as she continue to fly, smiling slightly at his confusion. Yes Rainbow didn't like school at all, but that wasn't the point. She just wants to fit in! "You don't get in Discord! I've had enough at being shut up at my home by my dad. I want to meet ponies and make friends! Go to a normal school like every pony else!" Suddenly he groaned dramatically, slowing down and causing Rainbow to stop. "I'm feeling weak!" he exclaimed, placing a paw to his forehead. Rainbow rolled her eyes, knowing where this was going. She walked up to him and reached into her bag. "You know what's strange?" she asked as she took a hoof full of Cotton candy from a small bag, only to get it stuck on her hoof. She groaned, trying to shake it off but it wouldn't budge. "The fact that all you eat is sticky pink, teeth rotting, fluffy Cotton candy!" she said as Discord licked the sticky sugar off her hoof in the matter of seconds. She placed it back down only to get it stuck on a leaf. She groaned once again as she tried to shake off the leaf from her hoof. "And then I have to be super sticky 24/7!" she huffed as the leaf finally got off of her hoof. "That's strange" she concluded, glaring at Discord. He smiled smugly back at her. "If you want to be able to transform into a super hero, then sticky candy is the deal my friend." he crossed his miss matched arms together. Rainbow groaned and rolled her eyes once again, knowing he had a point. He flew back into her bag and she continued her way toward the school. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rarity and Twilight were talking as they walked into the school. However, as soon Twilight mentioned Dragonfly, Rarity went total fanfilly on her as she took out her phone to show her a website. "DragonBlog!" she exclaimed, bouncing slightly in place. "Bringing you all the latest news about our latest super hero!" Twilight stared at the screen with awe, Rarity made a website on Dragonfly? "DragonBlog, how amazing is that?" she took the phone back to look at the comments. "Look how many views it's got since I've posted the video!" Twilight stopped walking, the pressure was getting to her head. "But," Rarity paused, noticing Twilight wasn't following her anymore. "why do trust Dragonfly so much? I mean, the stone beings..." "She'll going to handle them." she interrupted, confidence in the hero. Twilight sighed, shaking her head. No I won't... "But what if she's not cut out to be a super hero, even though every pony says she is." Rarity blinked, confused. "What are talking about darling?" she asked before gasping leaning into Twilights face. "Oh wait, I know what this is about." Twilight gasped. Is she really that transparent? Rarity leaned back, giving her back her personal space, and placing a comforting hoof on her shoulder. "You're scared." Twilight inwardly sighed with relief. "Don't be darling, I've seen her with my own to eyes!" she said excitedly, fluttering her eyelashes as if proving a point. "Dragonfly is a true super heroine! She's going to protect us all!" She smiled, looking right at Twilight. "I believe in her." Twilight couldn't help but a small smile to grow onto her face. I believe in her. Her words repeated in her head, almost as if they were meant for her. Rarity turned and started walking to class. Twilight looked at her friend then bag at her purse where Spike was. Rarity is perfect for Dragonfly! she thought before catching up with her. "So you really don't remember anything?" Both Rarity and Twilight paused as they saw Bulk Biceps sitting on a bench with a crowd of students. Bulk shook his head, getting annoyed with all the questions. "You were totally going ballistics." said another student, practically gushing at him. "It was SO cool!" she said. Dumb Bell shoved past the crowd, glaring at the large white pegasus. "You were seriously trying to crush me dude!" Bulk sighed, letting his eyes wonder before connecting with Fluttershy's. They both paused, Bulks heart beating quickly. After a small pause, she quickly hid behind her long pink mane. Bulk looked away as well, toward the ground. "I'm sorry, I wasn't myself." he said once again, tired of repeating himself and for also not knowing the answer to the question. They heard a scoff, all heads turned to Trixie who was leaning against a wall, chewing gum. "Once a monster, always a monster." Bulk growled at the blue unicorn. I am not a monster! He got up angerly, causing the crowd to back away in fright. He stormed off, away from every one. "Don't let the door hit you one the way out!" she called over with a singsong voice. Rarity turned and glared at Trixie, who was smiling smugly at her own joke. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The window opened once more, revealing King Umbrum and his dozens Breezies. One of them which was trapped inside his cane. He grinned, his canines glinting in the sunlight. He could practically feel the anger coming off of Bulk. "Yes, feel the burn of those words!" he said to himself, looking down to his original akuma. "Lose your temper Bulk Biceps! Your akuma awaits you!" He tapped his cane, causing the Breezie inside to flutter. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rainbow panted as she neared the school. She was almost there! She landed and ran up the stairs. She was about to enter the building when she heard her name being called out. She froze, knowing the voice anywhere. Raven got out of the car in a huff, slamming the door behind her. "Rainbow Dash don't do this! Your father will be furious!" The blue pegasus glared at the earth pony. "Tell him you got here to late!" she said before giving her a pleading look. "Please!" She turned and ran inside. Raven sighed before entering the car once more. The driver gave her a side ways look, causing her to roll her eyes. "I'll handle it..." she muttered. He simply shrugged before driving away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "How could you say that to Bulk?" Rarity exclaimed, trying hard to keep her composure. "You are the real Stone Heart!" Trixie laughed haughtily. She looked over the crowd, smirking still. "So Trixie is the one that broke the chiefs arm huh?" She walked over to Rarity and got in her face, causing her to take a step back. "Just because your footage of those lame super heroes was shown on TV doesn't mean you have to get all high and mighty." She finished her sentence by blowing a bubble with her gum, causing it to pop on her face. Rarity gasped, taken aback, before leaning back on Trixie. "You little..." But Trixie interrupted her by acting scared. "Look out! She's angry! She's going to ruin her mane and turn into a huge muscly monster!" Rarity's glare intensifies before huffing, turning her nose in the air and walking away in seething anger from the smug magician and her little side kick. "Hey Trixie." Every pony turned at the new voice to see an unimpressed Rainbow Dash, clearly seeing everything. Trixie gasped excitedly. "Dashie! You came!" she squealed happily before running towards her and giving her a huge hug, making the model very uncomfortable. Every pony gasped at the celebrity in the room, causing a buzz to go around the school. All of them close by ran to her, begging for an autograph. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unnoticed to every pony, Twilight followed Bulk to the locker rooms. She went in and looked around, trying to find the white stallion. Surely he wasn't too hard to find. She walked to the direction of his locker and and turned the corner before pausing. Bulk was sitting in front of his locker, hunched over with headsets on his ears, listening to some very loud music. She chuckled before walking over and sitting next to him, placing a hoof on his shoulder to get his attention. He was slightly startled, and turned to see Twilight there giving him a small smile. He reached on top of his head and took off his head sets. He sighed and gave his full attention to her. Twilight was always kind to him, so he knew she wasn't going to mock him like Trixie did. "You know, you should tell Fluttershy how you feel." she said, causing him to blush. He stuttered and looked away. "I-I don't know what you're talking about." She rolled her eyes and nudged him slightly. "Come one! I saw the way you look at her." Bulk gasped slightly, looking back at Twilight, his blush getting redder. Was he really being that obvious? Who cares? Its obvious she's scared of you now! He turned away from her again, glaring at the flour bitterly. Twilight shook her head. "No! No negative emotions Bulk!" Bulk glared at her, taking it the wrong way. Twilight, catching on what she just said, shook her head again with a apologetic grin. "What I mean is, be positive! I'm sure she has feelings for you too!" She leaned in closer to him. "Go talk to her."she whispered, causing Bulk scoffed, turning away once again. What's the use? "I'm no good with words anyways..." he muttered. Twilight gave him a pitiful look before smiling encouragingly. "Who needs words?" she said shrugging. "You could draw her a picture, send her flowers..." Bulk perked up a bit. "I could write her a song?" he asked, turning back to Twilight. Her smile widened. "That's a great idea! What mare wouldn't want a song written just for her? Go for it Bulk! And uh..." she hesitated before adding. "stay positive!" He nodded, excited, before running off to write Fluttershy a song. Twilight sighed and gave a small chuckle, feeling a bit of pride in herself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ King Umbrum slammed his cane angerly on the floor, causing it to echo in the small room. The anger he was feeling from Bulk is now gone! And he was almost completely vulnerable, just a few more seconds at he would have attacked his prey. "No! The emotions! They're fading!" he growled loudly, almost like a wild animal. He was SO close! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Even though Rainbow was getting tired of the modeling, one thing that she really enjoyed was the fame. He father told her time and time again that she should be modest with her work, but she couldn't help signing autographs or showing off. One of the perks of being famous she guessed. She happily signed autographs as she walked to class, almost forgetting that Trixie was leaning against her. Almost. She would love to shrug her off right now but she couldn't because of three reasons. 1) She had a reputation of being polite and reserved in public, 2) Trixie would most likely make a huge scene and 3) She was her only friend growing up. They both walked in the class, Trixie walking ahead and pointing at the front desk next to a pink mare who was currently playing air guitar, head sets on her head. "This is your seat Dashie!" she said, smiling smugly. "Trixie saved it for you, it's right in front of Trixie!" Rainbow forced a smile and nodded politely at her. "Thanks Trixie." she said before sitting down. She walked by and sat down next to the energetic mare, who took off her head sets to greet the new comer. Rainbow gave a larger grin and extending her hoof. "Hey, Rainbow Dash." she introduced herself. The pink mare blinked twice, looking at Trixie to Rainbow before giving her a small pity look. "You're friends with Trixie then huh?" she asked, nodding behind her. Confused, she turned around to see Trixie and Moondancer at the seats next to her. Trixie opened her mouth to take out the gum with her magic, before handing it to Moondancer who placed in on Twilights seat. Rainbow frowned. "Hey!" she said standing up. "What's all that about?" Trixie gave an innocent shrug. "The brats that sat here yesterday need a little attitude adjustment. Trixie is just commanding a little bit of respect, that's all." Rainbow rolled her eyes and went to the seat, trying to remove the gum. "Think that's really necessary?" Trixie laughed as she walked to her seat. "Oh you've got a lot to learn about school culture Dashie." she leaned back and crossed her hooves, Moondancer soon joined Trixie next to her and crossed her hooves herself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ After Rarity calmed down, she and Twilight walked to class before it got started. Twilight was almost ready with her decision, she just needed one more thing to be certain. "Hey Rarity," she started, getting the unicorns attention. "wouldn't you like to be a super hero and go out and fight monsters and villains?" Rarity gasped, eyes sparkling as she grinned widely. "Of course!" she flipped her mane. "I'm not afraid of any pony!" she the turned back to Twilight with a curious look. "Why do you ask?" Twilight tensed, sweating slightly. "O-Oh, No reason!" Rarity simply shrugged. Twilight sighed in relief. This was the biggest reason why she couldn't be a hero, all the stress. She went in her purse and took out the box. Spike will like Rarity, probably. Quickly, she used her magic and teleported it in Rarity's bag. She is the best choice... She can just hope Spike can forgive her. They both walked in and gasped as they saw a blue pegasus. At her seat. Putting GUM on it! Usually, Twilight would've been calm about this, maybe a little angry but who wouldn't? But after the whole Stone Heart, super hero, not super hero, the secrets and all the stress, she wasn't feeling so forgiving right now. "Hey!" she said, startling Rainbow. "What are you doing?!" Rainbow stuttered, unsure how to react. They both turned their heads when they heard Trixie and Moondancer laughing loudly. Twilight seethed with anger. Trixie and Moondancer. Another thing to add to her list. She took a deep breath before sighing, glaring back at Rainbow. "Okay, I get it! Good job you three! Very funny!" Rainbow shot back up, shaking her head. "No no!! I-I was just trying to take this off!" the stuttering probably didn't help her probability. Twilight leaned in, her glare darkened. She really wasn't in the mood for excuses. "Oh really?" she asked sarcastically before bending down at her seat, trying to pry off the gum, which only made the two girls laugh louder. She groaned as the gum wouldn't come off, no matter how hard she pulled with her magic. A handkerchief hovered next to her in a blue magic. She gave a small nod to Rarity before placing in on the gum. She turned back to Rainbow, who was looking at her with an apologetic look. Her face itself calmed Twilights anger to annoyance. "You're friends with Trixie right?" she said, as if stating the obvious. Rainbow sighed. "Why do ponies keep saying that?" she mumbled, mostly to herself. Twilight humphed before getting up and sitting down, trying the avoid the hanky covered gum. Rainbow sighed once more before turning around and sitting back at her seat. Trixie leaned in, her smug smile still planted on her face. "See what I mean about respect?" Rainbow rolled her eyes and turned away from her. Twilight frowned at Rainbow once more, but not out of anger, but out of curiosity. "I know I've seen her some where before..." she felt a nudge from Rarity. She turned to see her phone screen at her. Twilight gasped as she saw a picture of a gray unicorn. "Of course! She's the daughter of my favorite fashion designer, Sombra!" Rarity scoffed. "Daddy's girl, super model AND Trixie's friend? Ha!" she shook her head. "Forget about it." "Why didn't you tell her it was Trixie's idea?" Rainbow jumped at the new voice. She turned to see the pink mare sitting next to her, giving her a curious look. Rainbow shook her head. "I've known Trixie since I was a filly. I know she's not perfect, but I can't just throw her under the bus! She's like my only friend!" Rainbow groaned as she stared at her desk before jumping once more as a pink hoof came into her view. She looked over to the earth pony to see her with the biggest natural smile she has ever seen. A smile so genuine that she couldn't help but smile herself. "I'm Pinkie Pie and it's time for you to make some new friends instead of big meanies." Rainbow gaped at her before her small smile widened. A new friend! This was so awesome! She extended her hoof and bumped it against Pinkies. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fluttershy left the washroom in a rush, panicking s she saw the time. "Oh dear, I'm going to be late!" She ran to the door before opening it. She was about to run out before she bumped into a big white mass, letting out a small shriek. She stumbled back a bit and looked up to see Bulk Biceps. "B-Bulk." She shied away slightly, not because she was afraid of him, but she didn't want him to see her up coming blush on her cheeks. "You've scared me." Bulk blushed, but his courage didn't waver. Music in one hoof and lyric sheet in the other. Now or never. "I wrote this for you!" was all he said before pressing play on his phone. However, while Fluttershy was a very quiet pony, Bulk Bicep was a very very loud. And his singing was not exception. Metal rock music came out of his phone, causing Fluttershy to wince, her ears pressed against her head. Then came the singing... "FLUTTERSHY!!!!!! YOU SO KIND!!!!!!! YOU'RE ON MY MIND!!!!!!!" Fluttershy wilted at the loud noise, barely hearing the lyrics. Can't handling the noise any longer, she did the first thing she thought of. She ran away. Bulk stopped as he watched her run away. He looked at his lyric before crumbling it in his hoof and then smashing his phone on the ground, causing it to break and for the music to stop. Silence filled the air he sat on the floor, boiling mad. He put himself out there and for what? For her to be afraid of me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Anger. More anger then he felt from the stallion yet. Perfect! "Yes! This is what I've been waiting for! You know the way evil akuma! Track down your pray! Fly away and darken him!" He released the vampire Breezie out of his cane and it flew toward the window, out to Bulk. It flew out and to its host, who was still sitting alone in the locker room, in front of the washroom. He didn't care about class right now, he just wanted to be alone with Fluttershy. The akuma landed on the balled up lyric sheet, causing it to turn purple and posses him once again. This is your second chance Stone Heart, and this time you'll have extra help! said the voice in his head. No pony will stop you from capturing the love of your life! Just remember, I'll need something in return! Two images flashed in his head. A multicolored tornado necklace. A pair of purple with green poke dots ear rings. Bulk grinned. This time, he will get Fluttershy, even if she's is scared. She is mine! He began to transform. > Chapter 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Bulk Biceps was no more. Now he is Stone Heart. His eyes glowed, causing the dozens of statue ponies to come to life, frightening every pony around Canterlot as they started to reek havoc. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Rainbow Dash?" Rainbow paused, not knowing what to do. The teacher was calling out names when she landed on her. She blinked dumbly, her classes back home didn't need name calling. She felt a nudge at her hip and turned to Pinkie, who couldn't stop snickering. "You say 'Here' silly!" Rainbow stuttered as she shot up from her seat, her hoof raised. "Uh PRESENT!" she said loudly, causing the whole class to snicker. Rainbow blushed as she awkwardly sat back down, Pinkie giving Rainbow a sympathetic pat on the shoulder as Cheerily continued role call. "Bulk Biceps?" The school shook before the door broke open, revealing none other then Stone Heart. "HERE!" he exclaimed in a loud voice, causing all the students to scream in fright. He looked around before his eyes met Fluttershy, who was currently shaking in absolute terror. "FLUTTERSHY!!!" he shouted, stomping towards her, unaware that Rainbow slipped out of class. Frozen with fear, the yellow pegasus didn't have time to run away as she got picked up in one of his hoof. "L-let go of me B-Bulk!" she screamed, shaking in his grip. The rocky stallion shook his head. "I'M NOT BULK ANYMORE!!! I'M STONE HEART!!!" Fluttershy shrinked at the loud voice, different from the white pegasus she knew. Tears started to form in her eyes. "W-Why are you doing this?" Stone Heart grinned. "SO YOU AND I CAN BE TOGETHER!!! FOREVER!!!" "Daddy!! The monster is back!!!" Stone looked down to see Trixie under a table with a phone to her ear. I am NOT a monster!!! "YOU!!!!" He lifted the table, causing Trixie to drop her phone in fright. Using his other hoof, he grabbed Trixie. Since his two front hooves were occupied, he was forced to walk on his hind legs. But because of his wings for balance and additional magic from King Umbrum, he was able to walk no problem, he was just a little bit slower. He walked to the wall before kicking it, causing it to break and leave a hole big enough for him to get out of. He jumped out and started walking toward the center of town, Canterlot tower, with the two mares screaming for help in his hooves. Rarity leaned in the hole, watching him leave. This was the perfect opportunity to see Dragonfly and Draconequus in action! She turned to Twilight, who was hiding behind a desk. "Come on darling, lets follow him!" Twilights eyes widened as she shook her head. She messed up one time, she was not going to mess it up again. "Oh no, you go! I'm going to find myself a safe place to hide!" Rarity gave her an incredulous look. "Darling, you are going to miss Dragonfly in action!" she pleaded, wanting her friend to be there with her. Twilight looked at Rarity, then at her bag. Quickly, she grabbed it and gave it to Rarity. "You and Dragonfly would both be better off with out me!" Rarity raised an eyebrow before sighing. "If you say so." she turned around and ran off to catch up with Stone Heart, not taking the bag with her. Twilight began to panic. "Wait! Your bag!" she groaned before following her. Canterlot needed a Dragonfly! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "My first day and I don't make it pass roll call!" Rainbow opened her bag to let Discord out in the locker room. She was certain no pony followed with all the Stone Heart business going on. So much for a normal life... Discord chuckled as he flew out, shrugging his small shoulders. "A day off, now that's what I'm talking about!" the kwami leaned back, ready to relax. Rainbow shook her head, smirking. There wasn't time to relax. "Oh no no no! We've got homework to do!" She puffed out her chest, showing off her necklace. "Discord, Chaos out!" Discord got transformed in the tornado once again, causing Rainbow to transform once again to Draconequus. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Ponies ran in fright as Stone Heart walked in the streets, slowly heading to Canterlot tower. Both mares were struggling to get free from his hoof, one of them containing his akumatised ball of paper. Trixie stopped struggling to glare at the large pegasus. "You have no idea who you're struggling with! My daddy, the mayor, will bring the police, the army, the cavalry,..." "And don't forget the super heroes!" All three looked up to see Draconequus flying above them, hitting Stone with her candy cane baton, and landing in front of them in a dramatic pose. Unfortunately, the hero forgot that it got bigger when it gets hit, which is exactly what Stone heart did with a large roar. Draconequus winced. "Oh no... My bad." Trixie groaned loudly, glaring at the 'so called' savior. "Super incompetent you mean!" she shouted back. Stone Heart scoffed, a smug grin on his stoned face. "HA! YOU WANT CAVALRY?! WELL HERE IT IS!!" Soon, the dozens of stone statues from before came running towards them and circling the now nervous super hero. "SEIZE HER!!!" he shouted, causing all his minions to attack. Draconequus dodge as best she could, jumping left to right with pause. Stone Heart gave one last scoff at the distracted hero before walking away with his two captives. Fluttershy looked up at Stone, her eyes full of fear and worry. "Bulk! Where are we going?" Stone Heart didn't look down, nor corrected her. She refused to call him by his new name. He kept his eyes straight ahead, toward his destination. "TO DELIVER A MESSAGE!! THEN WE'LL BE BROUGHT TOGETHER FOREVER BY A PRETTY BLACK BREEZY!!" Fluttershy couldn't help but tilt her head in confusion. A pretty black Breezy? Trixie groaned in his hoof. "Ugh, all this lovey-dovey stuff is making Trixie sick!" she complained, sticking her tongue out in disgust. The rock pegasus glared at her. "DON'T WORRY YOU MONSTER, I'LL TAKE CARE OF YOU TOO!!!" he said, causing Trixie to shrink in his hoof. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rarity was getting close, she just knew it. She ran as fast as she could before quickly hiding as saw Draconequus fighting a bunch of Stone Heart knock offs. She smiled giddily as she took pictures. Draconequus dodged a car being throw at her, panting hard. "If you can hear me Dragonfly, I could really use some help!!" she yelled before dodging another blow. Rarity looked around, confused. "What is she waiting for?" she whispered to herself, looking around for her new idol. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Twilight was running out of breath as she turned the corner before skidding to a halt. She saw Draconequus fighting alone, out numbered and Rarity running. One of the Stone Hearts took another car and threw it at the hero, only for her to dodge once again, but the trajectory sent it flying to Rarity, who started to run away. Twilight was frozen, feeling helpless as the scene before her started to unwind, almost in slow motion. Thinking quickly, Draconequus threw her baton, causing it to change angle and fall in front of Rarity, trapping her but not crushing her. Rarity screamed, and the hero went to help, only to be grabbed by the Stone Heart who threw the car. Twilight dropped the bag, still frozen in fear. She could hear her heart as it pumped loudly in her ears. She saw her partner, struggling in his grip. She saw Rarity screaming for help as she tried to escape the car. She didn't know what to do! The stress kept pilling up, and all she could do is watch. She couldn't do anything! She knew she couldn't be a hero! How could she let this happen? She felt so weak! This was all her... Just believe in yourself! She paused, her breath hitched slightly. Just believe in yourself! Spikes voice replayed over and over in her head. It was almost as if he was right next to her. She looked once more at Draconequus and at Rarity, but instead of feeling helplessness, she felt courage. There was still hope, if Twilight couldn't fix this, then Dragonfly will! I believe in myself! She reached down in Rarity's bag and took out Spikes box. With out a moment of hesitation, she opened it, took out the ear rings and put them on. They started to glow,and soon a purple ball of light came out of them to reveal Spike floating in front on her with a huge grin. "I think I need Dragonfly!" Twilight said, causing Spike to give out a cheer. "I knew you'd come around!" Twilight gave him a nervous look. "W-Well, I'm still not sure I'm up for this but," she took a deep breath and her nervous became one of determination. "Rarity is in danger! I can't stand back and do nothing!" She flexed her ears, causing the ear rings to shine in the sunlight. I believe in myself! "Spike, Claws on!" Spike gladly entered, causing Twilight to transform. She wasn't going to admit it, but she almost missed the wings on her back. Using the yo-yo, she threw it around the car and pulled, causing a small gap big enough to free Rarity. The white reporter quickly ran out before it fell back against the wall. Rarity looked up in awe to the one and only Dragonfly. "You can't stay here, it's too dangerous!" said Dragonfly, grabbing Draconequus baton and flying off, after the Stone Heart group and her partner. She flew, catching up quickly. She jumped off one of the heads, off the wall of a building, before flying above the Stone Heart with the closed hoof. She threw the baton in it. "Draconequus! Extend it!" she commanded. The hoof opened, causing Draconequus to fall out. She landed roughly on the ground in a slight daze. A yo-yo was quickly wrapped around her waist and pulled her up before a Stone Heart would've stepped on her. Draconequus blinked before looking up to see Dragonfly perched on top of a lamp post, giving her a small smile. She thought her mask might catch on fire by the heavy blush. God she is so hot! "Sorry I was late." said Dragonfly. Draconequus retracted her baton and placed it back in her belt. She smirked as she looked at the upside down Dragonfly. "My lady, haven't I told you that you turn my world upside down?" she said before winking up. Dragonfly paused before giggling at the awful pun. "Oh you're quite the jokester aren't you?" she asked, causing Draconequus to smile wider. However, their moment was cut short when all three Stone Hearts growled at them. Dragonfly groaned. "But your comedic timing needs work, we need to " Draconequus opened her wings to fly but was yanked by Dragonfly to the roofs. Dragonfly took back the yo-yo and flew off, Draconequus right on her tail as they hopped roof to roof. Draconequus looked back as she saw the Stone Hearts become smaller. "Hey! Aren't we going to take care of them?" she asked, but Dragonfly shook her head, her eyes forward with determination. "No! If we want to save them all, we go to the source!" Both of them landed and Draconequus gaped at the sight in front of her. A large crowd surrounded the Canterlot tower where the original Stone Heart stood in the center of the tower with his two victims. "That one!" Draconequus turned to look at Dragonfly, who stood boldly, looking ahead. Draconequus blushed again. Hot AND smart! Stone Heart growled as helicopters flew by. The other Stone Hearts joined the original, surrounding the Canterlot tower. Mayor Filthy Rich was below, using a megaphone to talk. "I demand my daughters safe return!" his voice amplified. Trixie struggled in the hoofs rock hard grip, wanting to be with her father. "Daddy!!!" she whined. Stone Heart rolled his glowing eyes before smirking, lifting her closer to his face. "YOU KNOW WHAT?! YOU'RE WELCOMED TO HER!!!!" He leaned his arm back before throwing her. She screamed as she hurdled to the ground at rapid speed. The crowd gasped, too slow to react. Trixie put her hooves together, praying to Faust at rapid speed. "HelpTrixiepromisetobenicetoeveryponyandsaypleaseandthankyou..." her prayer was cut off inches from the ground as two clawed hooves caught her. Trixie opened her eyes to see Dragonfly. Trixie flipped her mane, trying to recompose her composure. "Trixie didn't promise." Dragonfly blinked in confusion. "What?" Trixie got out of her grip and ran to her father, who happily returned the hug. "My little princess!" The chief, still in a sling, was once again standing on top of a car. Seeing the girl was safe, he gave the guards the okay. "We're clear to attack!" The guards prepared their spells, only to be stopped by Dragonfly. "Wait!" she exclaimed. "Don't attack them! You know it'll only make it worse!" The chief scoffed, glaring at the hero. "We have a new plan, unlike you! Move aside and let the pros do their thing! You already failed once!" Dragonfly gasped, taken aback. The confidence she had before was slowly dying. She did mess up the first time. Who said she isn't going to again? "He's right you know." she said turning to Draconequus, who looked back at her with shock. "If I captured Stone Heart's akuma the first time around, non of this would have happen!" she placed her claws on her face in shame. "I knew I wasn't cut out for this job!" Draconequus blinked in shock before she softened. Who knew the girl she admired how low self esteem issue? If anything, it made her cuter in Draconequus eyes. She placed a comforting talon on her shoulder, giving her a encouraging smile. "No," she said, startling Dragonfly out of her self pity. "he's wrong because with out you she wouldn't be here" he nodded to Trixie, who was still hugging her father. "and because us, they wouldn't make it and we'll prove that to them!" she turned her back, looking at her right in the eyes. "Trust me on this! Okay?" Dragonfly blinked a few times, trying to process everything she said. She had a point didn't she? She did save Trixie! And she hates Trixie! But it felt good! She liked saving ponies! So what if she messed up one time? She is now going to fix that mistake! She looked up at Draconequus with new found confidence and nodded. "Okay!" Both of them turned as they heard hacking. Stone Heart seemed to have something in his throat, because it looked like he couldn't breathe as he continue to hack and cough loudly and painfully. He crouched down as he gripped his chest before leaning back and finally coughing up a large swarm of black Breezies to fly out of his mouth. Getting oxygen back in his body, Stone Heart black out of of exhaustion, falling on his back with Fluttershy still in his hoof. Every pony gaped in shock as the dozens of black Breezies swarmed together to reveal the head of a large black head with a curved horn. "PONIES OF CANTERLOT, LISTEN CAREFULLY! I AM KING UMBRUM!" Both Dragonfly and Draconequus looked at each other then back at the flying face. "King Umbrum?" they both asked in unison. "DRAGONFLY! DRACONEQUUS! GIVE ME THE DRAGONFLY EAR RINGS AND THE DRACONEQUUS NECKLACE! YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH DAMAGE TO THESE INNOCENT PONIES!" he said mockingly before pausing as he heard something. Clapping. There was many things the ponies of Canterlot expected from the new heroes. What they didn't expect was for Dragonfly to clap. Neither did King Umbrum as he looked down with a confused frown. Dragonfly was sitting as she clapped before getting off the ground and walked toward him, a smug look on her face. She put herself down for too long now, and thanks to Spike and Draconequus, she is going to to prove it! Not only to Canterlot, but to herself as well. "Nice try King Umbrum." she said coolly. "but we know who the bad guy is! Let's not reverse the roles here!" she stood tall and proud in front of the tower and him. Even though he was much larger then her, she felt big. "With out you, none of those innocent victims would be transformed into villains!" She now knew, it was not her fault, but his! "King Umbrum! No matter how long it takes, we will find you! And you will hand us your Miraculous!" Using her magic, she took off her yo-yo, spinning it. She opened her wings and started running before taking off with one target in mind. To destroy King Umbrum. "Time to purify!" she shouted before she flew up like a rocket and caught dozens of black Breezies in her yo-yo, causing King Umbrum to shout in agony. She bounced off the pillars of the tower, rebounding off of them as she caught more and more of the Breezies. The whole time the King shrieked he became smaller and smaller before she caught the last Breezy and landed in the center of the tower. She turned around to face the awed crowd, knowing that this was broadcasted live on TV. "Let me make this promise to you! No matter who wants to harm you, Dragonfly and Draconequus will do anything in our power to keep you safe!" She grabbed her yo-yo in her claws and traced finger across it, causing it to open. She raised her arm and dozen of multi color Breezies shot out of the heart shaped yo-yo. Ponies all over Canterlot stared in awe before cheering. As ponies celebrated, Draconequus stared up in awe. Hot, smart AND brave! Her heart pumped faster as she blushed once again at the alicorn above. Before, she was confused about these feelings, but now she knew the truth. "Wow!" she said in amazement. "Who ever she is beneath that mask, I love that mare!" She was in love! And one day, she will love her back. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ King Umbrum growled in pure rage. He failed, AGAIN!!! "That's the problem with superheroes!! They're too..." he growled once again. "heroic!!!" he spat the word. Angerly, his mask glowed once again. He had one final trick up his sleeve. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stone Heart! the voice appeared once again in Stones head, causing to wake up from him drowsiness. They're trying to take your loved one away from you! You must snatch their Miraculouses so that they can be powerless against you! Stone Heart glared. "OKAY KING UMBRUM!" He quickly got up, Fluttershy still stuck in his hoof. She screamed in fright. "Help me please!" Both Dragonfly and Draconequus landed in front of him, causing Stone Heart to snarl back at them. "YOU WILL NEVER TAKE FLUTTERSHY AWAY FROM ME!!!!" He turned and jumped high, grabbing hold of a support beam before climbing the Canterlot tower. "COME WITH ME MY STONE BEINGS!!!" The rock creatures that surrounded the tower started climbing as well, freaking out the crowd below. Draconequus looked over the ledge to see them approaching before gasping and turning back to Dragonfly in a slight panic. "We're surrounded! What do we do now? We can't attack them!" "Yes, but we know where the akuma is!" she responded, turning to Stone Heart as he climbed up higher and higher. Draconequus looked up as well before seeing what Dragonfly was seeing. "Yes, in his clenched hoof! The one holding Fluttershy with!" he turned back to Dragonfly expectantly, seeing if she has a plan. " So...?" Dragonfly pondered. "So we know he's in love with her..." Then it hit her, she knew how to defeat him! "That's it!" she turned back to Draconequus, an excited smile on her face. "We don't separate Stone Heart and Fluttershy, we bring them closer together!" she sighed blissfully, "They're made for one another!" she winked at a confused Draconequus. "They just don't know it yet!" With out waiting for a response, she ran to the edge before flying up. Draconequus paused, staring at the retreating figure going up. "Umm, I'm not really following you but" she shrugged, a goofy grin on her face. "I guess I got to trust you. Something tells me that this is how it's going to be on here on out." and she was totally cool with that. She opened her wings and quickly flying up as well, following Dragonfly before catching up. Soon they passed Stone Heart, who was trying to shoo off helicopters and landing at the top. While Dragonfly was at the tip top of the tower, Draconequus landed close by under her on a small platform. Seeing Dragonfly above her, Fluttershy cried out for help once again, shaking more then before. "Help! I'm afraid of heights!" Stone, hearing the voice of his beloved, looked up as well to see Dragonfly as well, before frowning. "Don't worry!" Dragonfly called out, cupping her muzzle with her claws. "Everything is going to be alright!" Angerly, Stone Heart roared, causing the helicopters to back off. Draconequus winced, her ears ringing, before jumping in fright as the stone army caught up with her. She dodged a swing before adjusting herself, baton in claw. "How are you planning to get them closer then they already are?" she shouted up to Dragonfly. The purple heroine smiled down at her, clenching her claw in determination. "By using our powers!" she called back, before grabbing her yo-yo and trowing in the air. "FLAME ASSISTANT!" she cried out, activating her ability. The yo-yo spun quickly and glowed with green flames, making an object in the process. Once finished, the yo-yo died out and the object fell to her. Dragonfly blinked in surprise at the object in her claws. "A parachute? What am I supposed to do with this?" A scream broke her out of her thoughts as she looked down to see Draconequus getting quite a beating. Draconequus grabbed a support beam and flipped up, making sure not to hit any of the monsters. "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" she called up again, getting tired of dodging. Dragonfly nodded as she put on the parachute. "We'll find out soon enough!" she said, before turning to Stone Heart. She took a deep breath. Lets do this! Spinning the yo-yo, she aimed before throwing it to him. It wrapped around him and his hoof that held Fluttershy tightly. "His hoof!" she called out to her partner. "Get ready!" Getting a good grip on the string, she pulled her yo-yo, causing his hoof to go closer to Fluttershy, causing them to kiss on the lips. Stone Heart froze before accidentally letting go of Fluttershy in shock. Fluttershy screamed, too afraid to fly, and grabbed on to his hoof with dear life while the akumatised object fell down. Draconequus jumped off the tower and soared to the ball of purple paper. With her candy cane baton, she used it like a bat and his it, causing it to go back up to Dragonfly. She opened her wings and stopped herself from falling. "Home run!" Dragonfly joked, grabbing the ball and crushing it, causing the black Breezy to fly out. "No more evil doing for you little akuma." she traced a finger on the yo-yo, opening it. "Time to purify!" She was about to catch it this time when Stone Heart slowly disintegrated, revealing Bulk Bicep once again. Now the spell was broken, both Bulk and Fluttershy fell to their doom below. Dragonfly gasped, conflicted on what to do. She looked up at the Breezy, then down to the two ponies too scared to open their wings. Don't think, just do! She opened her wings once again and dived down. "Draconequus! You catch Bulk!" Draconequus looked up t the large pegasus, knowing she wouldn't be able to catch him and stay flying. She looked at her baton, then the tower, getting an idea. "CHAOS CLAW!" his necklace glowed and powered his lion paw with destructive magic. She stuck the baton in the tower and used her power to stick the baton to it. Stretching her talon out, she grabbed Bulk around the waist while holding on the baton, stopping his fall. Dragonfly flew past them before reaching out and grabbing Fluttershy. She quickly turned around and threw her yo-yo up and catching the Breezy before it flew to far. "Gotcha!" Quickly, knowing she still had to get used to flying and couldn't hold Fluttershy while doing so, she tugged on her sting, opening the parachute. Draconequus stared fondly at the purple with green poke doted parachute as as slowly lowered itself to the ground. Seriously, how can you not love this mare? Even though Draconequus loved the spot light, she would gladly let this mare be leader of the group just so she can be with the one and only Dragonfly. Both her and Fluttershy landed on the ground safe and sound. Dragonfly got up and opened her yo-yo, releasing the now colorful Breezy. "Bye bye little Breezy." she said as she watched it flutter away. She grabbed the parachute and threw it in the air. "Miraculous Dragonfly!" she called out, causing the parachute to explode into dozens of beautiful purple dragonflies in a green flame. They flew all over the city, taking away all the destruction that happened in the fight disappearing and turning the stone followers back into the ponies they were before the cities own eyes. "Whoa!" Both Fluttershy and Dragonfly turned to see Draconequus and Bulk Biceps starting around in awe as Draconequus helped Bulk walk. She looked at Dragonfly with a huge smile. "Are you seeing what I'm seeing?" "Yeah." she said in awe. "It's so beautiful! It's amazing! It's Miraculous!" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ How many times is he going to fail?! But it didn't matter. Sooner or later, he will get what he wants! "This is just the beginning Dragonfly! You and Draconequus may have won this battle but I will win the war! I will get your Miraculouses! I will get ultimate power! And then my secret dream will come true!" And he will make his dream a reality, no matter what it takes! Even if it kills him. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The police soon started cleaning up the barricades and started walking ponies to the ambulances. Dragonfly looked at the lyric sheet in her claw before looking at Fluttershy and Bulk, who were standing awkwardly together in silence, before walking up to them with a small sly smile on her face. She placed another claw on Bulks shoulder, catching both of their attention. "I think you two have things to talk about." she raised an eyebrow at Bulk and nodded her head to Fluttershy. "Hmm?" Bulk eyes widened, a heavy blush appeared on his face. He stuttered, looking away as he tried to come up with words. Dragonfly chuckled before giving the sheet to Fluttershy. "I think it would help if you read the lyrics to Bulks song." she said as she walked away. Fluttershy read the lyrics as Bulk watched her anxiously. Soon, a large smile appeared on her face as she blushed slightly. "Wow," she said quietly gushed, looking up at Bulk. "it's really beautiful! It's a shame you can't hear them when you scream... um, I mean sing." However, Bulk heard the mistake. He sighed, looking away in shame. "It was scary wasn't it?" he said quietly. "Is that why you left?" Fluttershy winced, nodding slightly. He looked back at her with a sorrowful, yet hopeful look. "I'm sorry, I'll try to be gentle..." Fluttershy looked taken aback before smiling widely once more. She leaned in and hugged him tight, hiding her blushing face. Bulk, who didn't expect this from the normally shy mare, blushed more then he's ever blushed before. Dragonfly, who was watching it all with Draconequus, gushed. "Aw! They are so made for each other!" Draconequus smirked devilishly at her, reaching her talon out over Dragonfly's shoulder. "Like us too..." and she would've continued flirting, in her necklace didn't start beeping, telling her she didn't have much time left. Dragonfly dodged the arm and grabbed it with a smirk of her own, pointing at her necklace. "Uh oh, you see that? Time to split." she turned around and started walking away, leaving a dumbfounded Draconequus. Nopony has ever turned her down before. Dragonfly flicked her tail at her, catching her attention once again. "See you soon Draconequus." she said cheekily, and all Draconequus could do is wave dumbly at her with a goofy grin. I am so in love right now... She bowed at the retreating alicorn as she flew away. "Can't wait my lady." she said before flying home herself. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "So by the time I got to Canterlot tower it was all over!" Rarity complained as she and Twilight entered the school. She sighed dramatically. "So depressed!" Twilight couldn't help but chuckle at her friends dramatics. "Don't worry, you'll get your scoop eventually." Rarity frowned with determination. "You're right! Next it'll be 'Dragonfly, an exclusive interview!'" Twilight pretended to fawn, as if it was too much to handle. "Ooh! Sounds exciting!" she said. Rarity gasped as she got a new idea. "No wait, even better! Finding out who's really under that mask!" Twilight snickered. "Uh huh, good luck with that one." she teased. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Rainbows car pulled up in front of the school. She and Raven sat in the back, listening to Sombra who was on speaker phone. "You disobeyed me Rainbow." he said, causing her to look down in shame. Now she'll never be able to have a normal life. "Take a look at that school." She turned her head, probably being the last time she'll see it, before turning back to the phone. "Yes father..." she mumbled. "You will, I say never, be back there again." "Father pl..." "With out your body guard." Rainbows eyes went wide in shock. "He will drop you off and pick you up every day." Rainbow gasped as she smiled happily. "Raven has offered to make you a new schedule." he turned to her fathers assistant, who quickly turned away, not meeting her eyes. But she didn't care, she's going to a normal school! "You will be continuing your music, Griffonian and fencing classes and your photo shoots." Rainbow nodded her head at Raven. "Thank you Raven, thank you father!" she exclaimed before grabbing her bag and quickly getting out of the car and into the school. This was the nicest thing her father ever did for her! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Both Twilight and Rarity walked into class and was about to go to their seats when Twilight paused, getting an idea. "No. Wait." she said, stopping Rarity as well. She walked up the steps and pointed to her old seat. Rarity chuckled before following her. Both of them placed their bags on the table and sat down. "Umm, you're in the wrong seat." they both turned to see Trixie standing at the front with Moondancer, who was carrying all her stuff. Trixie pointed at the seats in the front row. "Go on, get lost!" Normally, Twilight would've accepted and went back to her seat, wanting to avoid confrontation with Trixie. But now, after saving all of Canterlot from a love sick rock beast, Trixie was merely an annoyance to her. She smiled smugly down at her. "All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good ponies do nothing." she said, quoting Rarity from a few days ago. Trixie scoffed, flipping her mane. "What is that supposed to mean?" Twilight stood up, but didn't leave, she stayed right where she was. "It means that I'm not putting up with your crud anymore Trixie. And neither is any pony else around here!" she pointed down below to the empty seats. "So take your attitude and go on! Get lost!" The class room burst into laughter as some pony finally stood up to Trixie. Trixie gave her a hated glare before stomping over to her new seat like a small foal. Moondancer gave a glare as well, but not as intense, as she joined Trixie and quickly sat down next to the seething unicorn. Twilight sighed as she sat back down, feeling proud of herself. Rarity patted her back in pride, happy that she stood up to Trixie as well. "Good job!" she said proudly, causing Twilight to grin. Rainbow Dash walked in the class room and nodded to Pinkie who waved enthusiastically back at her. Rainbow was about to take her seat before noticing that Twilight now sat behind her. Still feeling guilty about yesterday, she gave her a small wave, but stopped as Twilight huffed and turned her nose away, clearly still mad at her. Rainbow sighed as she sat down. Pinkie leaned in and nudged her. "You want to make friends right?" she asked, causing Rainbow to nod. "Then go talk to Twilight, you know about the chewing gum." Rainbow looked slightly nervous. "But what should I say to her?" Usual she let other ponies do the talking, all she had to do was smile and look awesome. She wasn't the best with words. Pinkie rolled her eyes, as if it was obvious. "Duh, just be yourself silly!" Rainbow smiled back at her friend, thankful for the boost of confidence Be yourself... I think I can do that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ By the time school finished, it was pouring rain outside. Twilight groaned as she waited at the steps of the school. She usually liked walking to school, but times like these she wished some pony could pick her up. As she waited for the rain to calm down a bit, Rainbow came outside with an umbrella. She gave her an awkward smile. "Hey?" she said, but Twilight turned away once more. Rainbow sighed as she turned, seeing the car out front. She opened the umbrella and took two steps before pausing. Be yourself. "I just want you to know that I was only trying to take the gum off your seat." she looked into Twilights eyes with a sincere look. "I swear." Twilight couldn't look away from her beautiful eyes. "I've never been to school before, I've never had friends. It's all sorta... new to me." she admitted, giving Twilight a small but stunning smile. For some reason, she felt like she could believe her, that she wasn't just Trixie's popular stuck up model friend. She believed she saw a mare who struggled to fit in. Almost like you. said a voice in her head. Twilight couldn't stop herself from blushing. Rainbow turned around completely and extended her hoof, giving her the umbrella. Twilight paused. She looked at the umbrella, then to the sincere look she was giving her. Her heart skipped a beat at the kindness she saw. She could definitely see why she was a model. But the looks alone weren't attracting Twilight, but the look she had, only for her. She wondered what else did this mare kept secret, and for some reason, wanting to find them out for herself. What felt like a eternity, but was only a few seconds, she slowly extended her hoof, too dumbfounded by Rainbows eyes to use her magic. Twilight reached out, but paused at the handle when she almost touched her hoof. She hesitated before grabbing the umbrella, her hoof brushing against Rainbows, causing a shiver to go down her spine. She took the umbrella, but since she was not used to holding it with her hoof instead of her magic, it to closed on her. There was a small pause before Rainbow burst out laughing. Not in a mocking way, but in a gentle way. To Twilight it was music to her ears. She her cheeks turned crimson as she slowly lifted the umbrella off of her and gave the laughing Rainbow a sheepish look before giggling herself. Rainbow sighed before turning to her car. "See you tomorrow." she said with a small chuckle. Twilight sighed as well before remembering how to use words. She lifted her hoof but didn't wave as her sheepish smile became a nervous one. "Uh huh! See you toma... toro..." she was surprised to see her hoof was up, but also that she couldn't speak properly. "Whoa," she mumbled to herself. "why am I stammering?" Spike flew out of her purse with a cheeky grin. "Maybe I have an idea." he said. Twilight blushed at the look before turning away from him. Spike chuckled before flying to the other side of Twilights face and hugged her cheek, giving her a small nuzzle and causing Twilight to smile as she nuzzled back. As Rainbow walked closer to the car, Discord flew in front of him with a cheeky smile of his one. "First day of school and we already have two love birds." Rainbow rolled her eyes and scoffed. "What ever, she's just a friend." and then she paused, her smile growing bigger. She made a new friend! "A friend." she whispered to herself. She gave one more look at Twilight before chuckling, a small dash of pink appeared on her cheeks before she walked into the car, Discord flying back in her bag. Twilight looked up to see Rainbow got into the car and closing the door before it sped off down the street. She gave one more blissful sigh before taking the umbrella in her magic and started to walk home with Spike who flew back in her purse. Unbeknownst to the two secret heroes, Zecora and Philomena were both close by watching. Zecora nodded with a satisfying smile on her face as the fire bird landed on the zebras shoulder. "Excellent choice master." she said, pleased with her masters choice. Zecora gave another nod as they watched the purple unicorn walk home with a skip in her step. She chuckled "Those two are made for each other" > Cause I'm bored > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- In the daytime, I'm Twilight Sparkle, Just a normal mare with a normal life. But there's something about me that no one knows yet, 'Cause I have a secret. I live a life that’s full of fun It keeps me sharp and on the run.
