Dragon Developments

Dragon Developments is the 25th Episode of Season 3B of the SpongeBob and Friends Adventures Chronicles series. A celebration for pony-dragon relations is being held at Canterlot by Twilight Sparkle and sponsored, and firmfully encouraged to attend by Ember, even though they are both very stressed since all of Equestria and the other kingdoms have lost their magic because of the newfound magic crisis. Mount Aris' hippogriffs can't become seaponies as their pearls are ineffective, Unicorns can't use magic, Pegasi and other aerial beings can't walk on clouds, dragons can't use elemental breath, Kirin cannot use chi or magic, seaponies can't use aquatic magic, Earth ponies can't grow magical crops, and even the Draconequui can't fly or use their powers. Though Spike stayed behind to care for Twilight's Castle, it was also for him to be alone and solum on whether or not he would see his biological family and imagines what it would be like if he can have both, still not yet ready to ease away from his bloodline. But just as the students were trying to get Spike to give the party another chance, an unwelcome guest came back in the form of Sludge the Dragon, but he looked noticingly more panicked as he came with another dragon that resembles Spike's adult form but roughly the size of an adult Pure Hippogriff, named Denter, who claims to be Spike's real father, and that they needed to leave 'the surface' right away to the subterranean land of Saurusia, which is populated by Abyssinian-style dinosaurs. But they end up too late when the skeptical students called out a clear bluff from the two, when canterlot is approuched by a giant hi-tech Brachiosaurus-Mech, which lead to Denter and Sludge to escape as soon as it was seen with Spike, of which the Guards failed to stop thanks to some abilities Twilight reckinised as Dragon Realmian in origin, then the giant mech arrived, reveiled to be driven by a legion of Utahraptors armed with AUU-esque weaponry, then followed by an excitable Compy named Chatter, a studious Troodon named Profoundus, and a wiseass Coelurosaur trying and clumsily failing to be intimidating named Dick Slick, their supreme female guard commander anthro-Velociraptor named Commodore Velocius and her tough-as-nails robotic-armed silent-type T-Rex assistant Major Badass, and their pterosaur leader Minister P. Teranodon, who introduce themselves as the Imperial Scale Collectors for the Land of Scale Collectors, which was actually a real place but much different than described as it was apart of Saursia, and have come to demand the surrender of a threat to their emperor, The Black Emperor, who is the last Obsidian Dragon that escaped the forgotten Obsidian War caused by the Panans eons ago in an anichent period of time when the Obsidians initially prevented the Alicorns from quickly claiming the created world of Equestria. But when it's revealed to be Spike, and in no thanks to Pinkie's big mouth, they soon enough accuse Equestria of defending the resistance and has them all enslaved and depowered with a staff similar to the Staff of Sacanas which was made from the Black Emperor's magic-absorbing teeth and scales which were used to make Obsidian Orbs, or in the Collectors' case, Obsidian beams that petrify people under a limit. With the powerless Twilight, Main 7, students and faculty fleeing while Celestia, Luna, and Ember sacrifice themselves to slow down the collectors, they contact the Lodgers as soon as possable, and now they must find Denter and Sludge with Spike in the resistance lair of Saursia, where Spike is introduced to his siblings, Zipper, a zipper scaled speed-demon, Bumps, a dense bumpy-scaled dragon, Straight, a female sibling with straightened scales, Zigzag, an inventive but explosive zigzag-scaled baby dragon inventor, and Curls, a wiseass troublemaker with curly scales far too similar to Garble, especially since Curls was quick to mock him on how he chose ponies over dragons. They eventually meet the soothsayer of the resistance, a Parasaurolophus named See-All Sooth Voice, who and reveals a lot of heavy truths about intending for Spike to arrive sooner through certain events even when he molted, the last attempt being to have Sludge collect Spike directly before remembering he was an idiot. Spike then encounters the resistance leader, a black mammoth with obsidian tusks named Tuskco, who proves to be very skeptical and cynical of Spike being the Chosen One due to how long it took him to arrive. But Spike's biggest surprise is that Spike's mother is actually a Dragon Realms purple dragon named Spindle, the lost sister of Equestria's already-resident purple dragon, which makes Spike half-purple dragon and destined to save Saursia from the Black Emperor and liberate his slaves in the Land of Scale Collectors, even the Collectors them selves as apart from Terano who defelupted sevre stockholm syndrone for the Emperor, the other collectors obey the Black Emperor's orders out of fear, as the land of Saursia is under his tyrannitcal claws. But Spike is obviously not ready. The Lodgers and Mane Heroes on the other hand end up running into a wacky assortment of new friends like a kooky duo of loser adopted Banjo and Kazooie/Timon and Pumbaa-style brother guards, a hyperactive Oviraptor named Roman Times and a laid-back 'punny' Protoceratops named Hermann, a gang of Jurassic Bandits lead by a beautiful Dilophosaurus named Bosswoman Dill, a female Buck the Weasel expie named Stacy who has a personal score with a Gigantosaurus named Greg, an overjoyed plesiosaur wayward princess of a prehistoric underwater kingdom trying to escape Saursia and be free in the surface world's oceans named Sunshine Funzy, and a smooth con artist Gallimimus named Mimo trying to avoid a debt with a Triceratops mafia lord named Mr. Tri. Thus they need to find Spike and help him through his supposed destiny to defeat the Black Emperor, and save Spindle and the rightful ruler of the lands, Queen Quetzal, the Quetzalcoatlus leader of Saursia, from being a part of his collection of obsidian statues of conquered enemies and traitors.

PTE Redux Status: Unworthy, because even though X-OvrLuvr has not seen the episode this was based on, he would've liked it better if the "Scale Collectors" were just made up.

After Montage Flashback Scene returns to normal Flashback Present School of Friendship. Another Montage Later... This song played. After Song A bit later... Cutaway Reality A bit later... Later... The Next Morning... Later... Present
 * In a mysterious spot, Sludge stood next to a silluetted dragon figure before a large tusk figure.
 * ???: "(Manny the Mammoth-like voice) Okay Sludge. Sooth Voice had recently predicted that Spike had molted and gained his wings. She was also spot-on on how he congured all the challnages that befell him. Espeically that thing about a psyco-wing-hating Ostrich. I think now is the perfect time for you to take Spike out of Rainbow Horsey-ville and to take back to his real home here. It's about time he gets to getting rid of our current political issue if you get my drift."
 * Sludge: "Awww, don't worry boss. I'll bring Spike right back home just in time for lunch."
 * ???: "(Sighs), Just be sure you don't screw it up. If the kid fusses and turns bratty, keep firm and pull him by the ears if you have to, just make sure ya bring the kid back to see his desteny though, alright?"
 * Sludge: "No problem, boss, I can be trusted with this."
 * ???: "I want to be as clear as I can be. (Sternly) Don't, screw, IT UP?!"
 * Sludge: "Oh relax, it's not like the pony place is going to have anything that can distract me and tempt me to make the most of it."
 * ??? 1 and 2: "Why did you say that like it was a completely normal sentence?"
 * Sludge: "Just saying, I am NOT gonna be easily impressed by pony things. I got this, le-covered. (Leaves)....."
 * ???: "..... Denter, just where did you find this guy?"
 * ??? 2: "Oh come now sir, I know Sludge can, have his moments, but I am confident that Sludge will know what he's doing."
 * Sludge was flying in the sky and is nearly arriving to ponyville.
 * Sludge: "Now, I need to be able to introduse myself to the kid and earn his trust if I'm going to take him back to Saursia. Kids like badass enterences, right? I know! I'll introduse myself by doing my Asteriod Tecnic! Yeah! The kid will think I'm a badass! Just need to make sure I can see him first before I-"
 * (Twilight): Woo-hoo-hoo!
 * Sludge: "WHAT THE F***!? (Sees Spike practicing flight from a distance). Is that him? I gotta get closer! (Zooms off quickly, reaches Twilight's castle and hides behind it, and sees Spike doing tricks)..... Awww, crap, I knew it! He's been ponified! I mean, just look at him doing pony tricks!"
 * Spike: "(Comes in for a landing) Whoa! (Lands).... Ta-da!"
 * Twilight: Okay, Spike. Now let's try a flip. Remember: Two flaps, then straight up!
 * Spike: Got it!
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) Oh you got to be kidding me! A dragon is strong enough to a flip in one flap at least!"
 * Spike tries to do the trick, but fails and crashes into the water!
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) Well that got wet fast!"
 * Spike tries again, but crashes into a tree!
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) Ugh, stupid tree! I swear if they weren't impourent for that Ox-A-Gen stuff, we dragons would've burned the stupid things ages ago!"
 * Spike tries again but crashes into a bush, then into the castle coming back covered in a cloth, which got stuck to a flag-pole that flings him straight into the ground comedicly as Twilight cringed at that.
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) Yowza! So glad Denter nor even Spindle weren't here to see THAT! (Chuckles), Though I admit this is kinda funny. HAHA!"
 * Twilight: You're doing great, Spike.
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) Oh way to give false confidence, ya c**t. At least be honest with him!"
 * Spike sighed, and flew up to try again, and at first looked like he was gonna get it right, which nearly impressed the watching Sludge just as much Twilight was getting excited for it. But Spike gets unbalenced, falls and crashes right passed twilight into the ground.
 * Sludge: "(Quietly while looking unbemused) And of course...... He f****d it up. Ugh, what did Spindle see in these ponies anyway?"
 * Spike: (Grunts) I don't know about "big", but I am definitely finished.
 * Twilight: Maybe I should get Rainbow Dash. She's the one who taught me advanced flying techniques.
 * Spike: No, thanks. If I'm gonna mess up, I'd rather do it in front of you. I just don't understand why none of your advice is helping.
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) That's because-"
 * Smolder: Because she's teaching you to fly like a pony instead of a dragon.
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) NO S***, I WAS GONNA SAY THAT?!"
 * Spike: What's the difference?
 * Smolder: Well, we don't have feathers, for starters.
 * Twilight looks at her wings with a frown and realization that she was getting it kinda wrong.
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) Well, didn't think this place would have another dragon here, but at least the kid would get a proper freaking tutor!"
 * Smolder: "Also, using pony tricks aren't suited for dragons. Now come on, Spiker, let's do this right!"
 * Smolder and Spike flew off!
 * Smolder was successful at teaching Spike a proper aierial flip, where after one or so tries, Spike finally suceeds with both Twilight and even the still hidden Sludge proud!
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) Oh NOW it's happening!"
 * Spike: Ye-he-he-hes! (Hoof-bumps Twilight) Wow! Thank you so much! How did you know I just needed to bend my wings?
 * Smolder: Honestly, this is Dragon 101. Usually dragon parents teach this stuff.
 * Twilight and Spike looked at each other....
 * Smolder: "...... What?"
 * Twilight: ".... Spike doesn't know who his parents are. Celestia found him as an egg. I've been raising him ever since."
 * Smolder realised that.....
 * Smolder: ".... Ohhhhhh, right, that whole, raised by ponies thing. Sorry, I keep forgeting about that."
 * Spike: "Look, it's fine guys, I'm, I'm sure they had their good reasons why I wasn't with them."
 * Sludge quiety sighed sadly.....
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) More than you realized, kid."
 * Smolder: ".... Oooohhhhh kay, Now I feel awkword. Lates! (Zooms off!)"
 * Spike and Twilight proceeded to go inside the castle as Sludge kept hidden!
 * Sludge: "Gotta get inside that castle! (Sees a window and clumsily climbs onto it and opens, then gets in and barrol-rolls in a clumsy way! Then humoriously disgusises himself a lamp as Spike and Twilight were inside the castle.)"
 * Spike: "I'll, be in my room. (Flew off to his room)."
 * Twilight: "(Looked on feeling guilty on not being like a dragon parent)..... Of course I would be teaching Spike how to fly wrong. I'm not a dragon parent."
 * Sludge: ("I swear to Dragon Gods, if she starts singing an "I'm Sad" Aria, I'm gonna lose it!")
 * Twilight: "..... Maybe, I should talk to him about it. Make sure he's not too, hard about it."
 * Sludge quietly as he can follows Twilight up the stairs and right as she reaches Spike's room, as he 'subtly' hides in the background and listens to their conversation.
 * Twilight: Spike, I've been thinking about our flying lesson.
 * Spike: Uh-huh...
 * Twilight: I can't believe I overlooked something as simple as feathers. It's no wonder you were having trouble. I wish I had more 'dragonish' knowledge to give you. Do you think being raised by ponies has affected you in other ways? Spike?
 * Spike: Did you say something, Twilight? Sorry. I'm just finishing up this 'thank-you' throw pillow for Smolder. And you know how I get when I'm in the embroidery zone.
 * Twilight: (Chuckles)
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) Oh you got to be pissing me! Pillows?! What kind of dragon would obsess over pillows!?"
 * Barry was in heavenly bliss as he was surrounded by pillows offered by his Pillow Factory Pony friends as this music plays!
 * Twilight: "You go ahead and do that Spike. And about time too. Fluttershy's bringing her Dragon Chaser Hornet colony she got from Pred Judu Des a year before we arrived to Ponyville here for me to magically check if her colony's healthy."
 * Sludge started to have a wheeze attack apawn hearing that!
 * Sludge: "(Quietly) Dragon Chasers?!"
 * Spike: "Ugh, I still have rough memories when I first visited Fluttershy's house."
 * Twilight: "It's okay, she trained them to realize you're not a threat."
 * Spike: "I'd still rather not take chances. I'm off to see Smolder. Lates! (Flew off the window)"
 * Sludge took the oppertunity to try and get out as fast as possable, but when he heard knocking on the front castle door, he freaked out and hid to be a lamp again!
 * (Twilight): "COMING!"
 * Twilight flew down and opened the door for Fluttershy and a swarm of Japanese Hornet-like Hornets with the same powers as Flash Bees but with painfuler shocks and notable dragon-eqsed features and stingers with sheredded barbs buzzed in enmassed.
 * Sludge sweated violently apawn hearing the buzzing.
 * Fluttershy and Twilight were having a chat as the colony flew into the castle.
 * Sludge: "(Sludge was in fight or flight mood as the Dragon Chaser colony was in the castle buzzing and swarming about).... (Quietly) FrickfrickfrickfrickFRICK?!"
 * (Fluttershy): "Oh my little darlings, please stay close to me, you need to have Twilight check for your health as a colony."
 * The Buzzing started to fade as Sludge was sure the creatures had left.
 * Sludge wasted no time and charged for his window exit and jumped out, and crashed into a bush face first and got covered in a face full of Sticker Ball Tree Seeds....
 * Sludge: "..... Ugh, better these stupid seeds than a Dragon Chaser colony. Or the very least, a mangy ichneumon. (Shudders). Nasty critters."
 * Sludge saw Spike entering the School of Friendship and aimed to follow him!
 * As Spike flew about to find Smolder, Sludge was seen sneaking in, humming the Mission Impossable theme.
 * Sludge was seen trying to do sluggish cartwheels and barrol-rolls across the school yard while CLEARLY being witnessed by present students and not realising it, being too caught in the moment to do so!
 * Gaster: "...... The f*** am I looking at?"
 * Caster: "A potaintional Usurper of Buster's title for the biggest dang fool of all of Equestria?"
 * Buster: "HEY?!"
 * Gallus couldn't help but to snicker at the sight of Sludge doing ballet tricks in his "Sneakiness" across the school yard!
 * Cozy saw Sludge doing ninja poses and a crane stance.....
 * Cozy: "..... Dumbass. (Walks on)."
 * Sludge saw Spike enter the school as he leaped up to the window clumsly and saw Spike go a certain direction, then Sludge slinked back down and "Stealhfully" entered the school, leaving a series of amused and confused students in his wake.
 * Sludge continued humming the mission impossable song, then he stuffs himself into a locker when he heard Starlight having a conversation with the Factily as they walked by, not even realising that Sludge was here.
 * Sludge: "(Opens the locker when the factily were gone) Yeah, ninja stealth! HO-HA! (Slams face first into the ground, and barrol rolls across the hallway ground!)"
 * Sludge Stops himself and hides in the utility closet just as he saw Spike and Smolder talking to eachother, as the two agreed to leave the school for a friendly stroll.
 * Sludge: ".... Perfect. Target, isolated. (Gets out and ends up appearing before Quartz)...... Crap!"
 * Quartz: "...... Well Hi! You must be new here! Are you an exchange student? Awesome we have another dragon here.... Other then Smolder and myself. So, what's your name?"
 * Sludge: ("Ya can't get exposed too soon, Sludge!") Duhhhh...... My name is..... Walla Walla Washington!"......
 * Quartz: "...... Ehhhh, I heard, weirder names. So Walla, would you like a tour?"
 * Sludge: "Uh duh, duh, I, uh, actselly, I, I..... I wanna.... I, wanna explore the pony town first?"
 * Quartz: "The correct term is Ponyville."
 * Sludge: "Yeah yeah, that! I'll take a rain-check on that tour! So..... LATE! (Zooms off and leaps out a window clumsly)!"
 * Quartz: "..... Yeesh, and I thought Buzzord was the highlight of this school's craziness."
 * Sludge was seen flying in ponyville sky and saw Smolder and Spike walking.
 * Sludge: "Okay, I was basicly spotted, so I can't be subtle anymore! I'm gonna need to do the trick, RIGHT NOW?! SLUUUDGE ASTERIOOOOOOOOOOD?! (Charges at high speeds as he began to turn into a giant fireball!)"
 * Smolder: (Saw Sludge's comet) Hey, what's that?
 * Spike: I don't know. But it's... Heading right for us!
 * Spike and Smolder dodged as the Sludge Asteriod crashed into the ground!
 * Spike and Smolder saw that the pillow didn't survived the crash.
 * Spike: Okay. Now I really owe you for the lesson.
 * Sludge staggered to get back up.
 * Sludge: ("Okay, that didn't go well, but you can still save it, Sludge!") (Groans, chuckles) Hey there, young dragons. (Coughs) Name's Sludge. How are yer tails shakin'? (Groans)
 * Spike: You all right?
 * Smolder: Yeah. What happened?
 * Sludge: To what? (Trips into his crater like a dumbass)..... Oh. I don't need to explain myself to a couple of baby dragons. (Groaning and whimpering as he tried to fly off again, then slams back down).... Ow...
 * Spike: Maybe not. But you're hurt and need help. So I'm taking you to Twilight's castle whether you like it or not.
 * Sludge: ("Good, good, now pretend this is the first time you heard of it!") Castle, eh? (Groans)
 * Quartz flew in!
 * Quartz: "OH MY GOSH, WALLA WALLA WASHINGTON, YOU OKAY?!"
 * Smolder broke into laughter!
 * Smolder: "WHO NAMES THEMSELVES THAT?! (Sludge got extremely nervous)"
 * Quartz: "Uh, he did. (Points to Sludge)."
 * Smolder was surprised.....
 * Smolder: "..... Well this is the first time I've met him and he said his name was Sludge."
 * Quartz: "..... Le huh?"
 * Sludge: "(Groans in agony)"
 * Spike: "Uh, I'm sorry girls, can't this wait? I need to take Sludge to Twilight's castle!"
 * Spike drags Sludge off.
 * Smolder: "..... (Stern look).... Something smells like s*** in the brimstone today, or my name's Willia Anderson..... Which it's not."
 * Twilight: I'm glad Spike brought you here, Sludge. I understand you made quite the impression in town.
 * Pinkie Pie: Literally! There's a hole and everything!
 * Sludge: Well, I hope you're not expecting me to fix it. (Groans)
 * Applejack: It doesn't look like you're in much shape to do anything.
 * Sludge: I'll manage. Dragons take care of themselves. I don't need help from a bunch of castle-livin' ponies. (Whimpers in pain as he tries to leave)
 * Rarity: Darling, do be careful.
 * Sludge: I'm... (Groans)... Fine. (Trips over)
 * Fluttershy: I can't watch!
 * Rainbow Dash: (Comes over to him). You're not the first stubborn dragon we've met, you know.
 * Spike: And sometimes, even dragons need help.
 * Twilight: (Levitates Sludge onto one of the map's chairs) I promise. My friends and I will only do enough to get you back on your claws.
 * Sludge: ".... Only because I'm not exactly in the position to say no, really."
 * Smolder was secretly over-hearing the whole thing and is still suspicious.
 * Smolder: "..... (Quietly) Just what is your game here, fatso?"
 * Smolder was with the other Student Six and company seeing the process of Sludge's healing.
 * Smolder: "I'm getting rotten feelings about that fat lizard Sludge."
 * Caster: "I know! He was acting weird when he was humming an iconic song trying and failing to be stealthy!"
 * Gallus: "I know, IT WAS HILARIOUS?! (Laughs)!"
 * Smolder: "Well that's the freaking thing! The fact you guys saw him means that the crash was no freak accident! Okay, he clearly didn't planned to be injured, but I feel like he was trying to show-off to us as if he was here for something big!"
 * Skyceria: "Don't ya think you're being, paranoid?"
 * Smolder: "Hey, this isn't paranoia, this, is dragon gut instincts! It teaches us to be weary of strange things, especially if it's from other dragons. Comes from the fact that dragons are an aggressive race."
 * Quartz: "Well Spike isn't suspicious of Sludge."
 * Smolder: "THAT'S BECAUSE HE WAS RAISED BY PONIES!! They're trusting to a fault! That's kind of why the school exists."
 * Sandbar: "Hey, chill it with the Pony-Harshness, Smold."
 * Smolder: "Right, sorry. Point is, there's just something I don't trust about this."
 * Silverstream: "If it helps, Smolder, he's only gonna be here until he's recovered. He'll likely go back to the dragon lands or somewhere else assuming he's some kind of loner. Either way, it's only a temporary thing."
 * Smolder: "..... That doesn't make me less concerned about this guy. Also, his name is SLUDGE! Kinda hard to trust a dude named after something NASTY!"
 * Gaster: "Well, once he's healed, he's gonna be allowed to leave and then he'll do so! Now calm down about it! (The group left but Smolder)....."
 * Smolder: "..... (Quietly) I'll calm down when I'm good and ready."
 * Sludge has been seen having been fully healed as he enjoyed a rewarding snack as the Main 6 and Spike were pleased!
 * Smolder was seen monitering this from a distence and began to sneak around and about, sneaking through the bushes and quickly sumersulting across open spaces! Smolder even leaped and flipped across a larger clearing and kept hidden!
 * Smolder got close enough to over-hear a conversation.
 * Smolder: "(Quietly) Wow, those lessons from Koningin are paying off.... Though I can't help but feel like she's grooming me for something big. Eh, something for later."
 * Twilight: I know you had your reservations, but it's good to see you feeling better.
 * Sludge: T-Thanks, I guess.
 * Rarity: That's what friends are for, darling.
 * Sludge: (Was about to leave).... ("Spindle, I'm sorry I doubted you.").... You're pretty lucky to have friends like these, kid.
 * Spike: Actually, I was orphaned as an egg, and Twilight raised me. So these ponies are more than my friends. They're my family.
 * Twilight: We try our best, but sometimes I worry that maybe Spike is...
 * Spike: Missing something deep down and dragonish.
 * Sludge: (Legit surprised).... ("..... Liiiight Bulllb.") Really? Wow. I-I can't tell you how glad I am to hear that.
 * Applejack: Why in Equestria would you be glad to hear that?
 * Sludge: I wasn't gonna say anything since your life seemed so perfect, but I have a confession to make. Coming to Ponyville wasn't an accident. I was looking for you. Spike... ("Play it smart genius, it's still too early for him to know the truth.... Also, this is your big chance to finally take a vacation from being a freedom fighter in Saursia! Ya could use a vacation ya know... So go for the craziest thing that comes out of me, your brain!")... (Sighs).... I'm your father.
 * Mane Six: (Gasp)
 * Sludge: ("FLAMING S***, TOO CRAZY!! DENTER WILL STRANGLE ME!!")
 * Pinkie Pie: (Continues gasping)..... Sorry.
 * Smolder: "(Outloud) WHAT THE GENUINE F***?!"
 * Awkword silence......
 * Pinkie: "..... Yeeeeaaaaahhh, we're gonna have to cut that part out for the canon episode."
 * Smolder: "...... I'll uh, see myself out. (Zooms off)"
 * Twilight:.... Ahem, ignoring that.... So you crashed in Ponyville on purpose?
 * Sludge: Well, the crash part wasn't on purpose, but heading here was. (Takes Spike with him as they get to the front door).... I've been searching everywhere for you, kid.
 * Spike: Did you ask in the Crystal Empire? I'm kind of well-known there.
 * Sludge: ("Awww, crap, maybe saying that was a real dingus move!")
 * Pinkie Pie: Actually, Spike's well-known everywhere. Not a lot of dragons were hatched by the Princess of Friendship.
 * Applejack: Mm-hmm.
 * Sludge: ("Crap baskets of flaming turds! Just ham it up for them to get sympathy!") (Choked up) You make it sound so simple. (Nudges Spike in). I wish you'd been there to help me search.
 * The group go inside the castle.
 * Spike: I can't believe it. I have so many questions.
 * Sludge: (Sits down on the Map Chair) Well, ask away. Answering questions is what dads are for.
 * Spike: I guess my biggest question is simple. Why was I an orphaned egg?
 * Sludge: (Stammers) You sure you don't want to ask something else? (Choked up) It's a lot of painful memories. (Sighs) Your mother was the best dragon I'd ever met. ("And damn hot too.")
 * (Sludge): (A stylistic flashback played) The Dragon Lord even picked her to scout for the Great Migration, and-and even though she just laid your egg, we knew she'd have to go. But finding the Migration route could take a lifetime, and you deserved a chance to know your mother. So I went looking for her, carrying your egg to places no dragon or pony has ever been. Past Mount Aris, the abandoned home of the Hippogriffs...
 * Pinkie appears and interupts the flashback!
 * Pinkie Pie: Ooh! Did you visit Klugetown?
 * Sludge: You've been to Klugetown?
 * Mane Six: (Various affirming)
 * Twilight: Also, the Hippogriffs returned to Mount Aris after we helped them defeat the Storm King.
 * Sludge: ("They defeated the conquering flameturd who manipulated Scorpan? I guess Denter's going to be surprised to hear that.") Oh, well, have you heard of the Land of the... Scale Collectors?
 * Twilight: Uh-uh.
 * Sludge: (To Spike) Because that's where your mother's trail finally led.
 * (Sludge) To a prison world of dragon hunters, where I was forced to choose between surrendering myself or surrendering your egg. (Sludge got caged) (Getting choked up) Of course, there was no way I was gonna sacrifice my boy. So they took me instead, and that's where I'd been ever since.
 * Sludge: Locked up somewhere, (Grabs Twilight close) Not even the Princess of Friendship has heard of.
 * Spike: Whoa... How did you know I was a boy?
 * Fluttershy: Whatever happened to Spike's mom?
 * Rainbow Dash: And how did the egg make it all the way back to Equestria by itself?
 * Pinkie Pie: Hmm?
 * Sludge: ("They're asking too much questions, quick, ham it up again!") I wish I had all the answers. (Crying)
 * Spike: Well, that's all in the past. The only thing that matters now is that we're together. And I'm gonna make up for lost time.
 * Sludge: (He gave a teary smile) ("Well, he has been away from Denter, so, may as well give him a chance to give him a father he never got to know.")
 * A still bewildered Smolder had listened in on this and went off to tell the group.
 * Students: HE'S SPIKE'S WHAT?!
 * Smolder: "Yeah.... The guy claims he's Spike's dad."
 * Quartz: BULLS***!!
 * Gaster: "How is that possible?! Spike's purple and the dude's green!"
 * Silverstream: I don't know, maybe his mom was purple, or another ancestor was purple?
 * Shore: "I like to view it more as, Spike taking more after his mother."
 * Silverstream: My point exactly.
 * Gaster: ".... Well, yeah, but, Spike doesn't have the same build as the guy! Heck, his adult form-"
 * Smolder/Quartz: "Greed indused bigness form."
 * Gaster: "Doesn't match the fat blob's body!"
 * Gallus: "You're saying that the dude is full of s***?"
 * Gaster: "Hey, let's remember that this is the same guy that was failing to be sneaky on the school, AND said he was named "Walla Walla Washington"!"
 * Gallus scoffed bemused.
 * Gaster: "AHEM! I think it's a safe freaking bet that the guy's up to something here."
 * Skyceria: "Well that's the problem. We have to remember that Spike was an orphaned egg. Even if Sludge is lying, as far as we know, he's probuly the closet to a positive dragon role model outside of Ember, Quartz, and in some extent, you, Smolder."
 * Caster: "What about that Taiku guy and his dragon friends?"
 * Ocellus: "And Spyro, Cynder, and the other dragon Lodgers?"
 * Skyceria: "Spike rarely gets to really interact with them. And most of his prior dragon exspeariences included terrorable exsamples like that angry loner dragon he ran into and Garble's group. (Smolder quietly winced at that). Maybe Sludge has good intentions on the off chance he fibbed about being his dad."
 * Smolder: "(Toughens back up) Well, ultamately, I'm the judge, jury, and executioner on that."
 * Spike: I can't believe we got so many things done. But this is all MY stuff. Is there anything YOU always wanted to do with ME?
 * Sludge: (While picking earwax) Not really. (Saw Spike sad). ("Aw s*** dude, fix it, fix it, fix it, FIX IT!!") Uhhh, I mean, uh, I'm happy to do whatever you want. But if I had a castle like this with all this stuff, I'd probably just lay around all day doing nothing like a real dragon.
 * Spike: Like a real dragon?
 * Sludge: Sure! I'm not surprised you don't know any better. Twilight basically raised you as a pony. (Walks off) You're barely a dragon at all.
 * Spike: Huh?
 * Sludge was seen getting cupcakes and had overheard the starting conversation.
 * Sludge: ("Okay dude, now it's about time for action.... HMMM-MMM, THESE CUPCAKES THOUGH!?")
 * Sludge enters the map room at a certain point.
 * Sludge: Awww, shucks. (Finishes off Cupcakes).... I guess I shouldn't have said anything about you being more pony than dragon. I just wish we had more in common.
 * Twilight: Maybe you two can come up with ways to turn up Spike's, uh, dragonishness.
 * Spike: You think that's something we can do?
 * Sludge: You know what, son? I think it is!
 * Twilight: (Enters room) Spike? I just thought I'd check to see if you and Sludge had any luck turning up your dragonishness. It's hard not to feel like somehow I let you down all these years. (Removes covers)
 * Sludge: (Was seen in a suggestive "Draw me like one of your french girls" kinda pose)
 * Twilight: Oh! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to barge in on ya!
 * Sludge: (Gets up) Ah, don't worry about it. Mi castle es su castle.
 * Twilight: Right. Well, I'll just get out of your way.
 * Twilight leaves as she bumps into Spike, causing a mess.
 * Twilight: Oh! Spike! I'm so sorry. My morning is not going well. What is all this? Why'd you leave the castle so early?
 * Spike: I didn't leave. I spent the night outdoors to get in touch with my dragon side.
 * Twilight: Outdoors?
 * Spike: Yeah! And Sludge asked me to bring him the best breakfast Ponyville has to offer so he can show me how a real dragon would eat it. See you later!
 * Spike walked off as Twilight got suspicious.
 * Spike entered in the room where Sludge saw the food.
 * Sludge: "Awwwww yeah! (Starts chomping down on it) Mmm, mmm, MMMM! Oh that's the GOOD s***!"
 * Spike: "Noted. Dragons eat as sloppy as possable."
 * Sludge was seen walking forth and reading the newspaper.
 * Sludge stopped when he heard the clopping of hooves.
 * (Applejack): "Just saying that maybe it's time to send Sludge a'tumbling and back to try and find Spike's ma."
 * (Rainbow Dash): "I mean, the guy's great at Buckball, but I feel like that now he's sure Spike's in a good place, so now, he needs to worry about Spike's mom."
 * Sludge quickly hid behind a door as the Main 6 came forth.
 * Rarity: "Also, Starlight became rather sour at him for throwing her out of the castle in the bathtub during that musical number he engaged with."
 * Pinkie: "I felt like it be like a family guy homage."
 * Starlight: (After Sludge and Spike trashed the bathroom tower) WHAT THE TART?! (She started sliding off the collapsing floor) NonononoNONOOO!! (Crashed as the bathtub shattered)... This is embarrassing.
 * Pinkie: "And I can get away saying that on a canon episode because we're off camera currently."
 * Twilight: "Which is why, I intend to help find the Land of the Scale Collectors and bring Equestrian Justice onto them so he can reunite with Spike's mother. (Quietly) And hopefully decide that Spike is in good hooves with us and take Sludge back to the dragon lands?"
 * Fluttershy: "Twilight, I'm surprised that you're jealous of Sludge."
 * Twilight: "It's not that, it's just..... I'm getting anxious that, Spike might choose Sludge over us."
 * Applejack: "Well, it can't be helped Twilight. Sludge may be a freeloader, but he's Spike's Kin. His pa, no less. Are ya'll sure that finding Spike's Ma would change things?"
 * Twilight: "..... Perhaps not, but...... I at the least want Spike to be happy. And, if he were to have to go back to his biological family.... I at least want it to be completed..... (Snarky) Besides, I would imagine Spike's mom being a better influence than Sludge."
 * Applejack: "Exactly!"
 * The Main 6 trotted off, as Sludge was seen scared....
 * Sludge: "..... Those crazy ponies are NOT yet ready for those psycos!..... Like I'm not yet ready to leave my vacation. Not to mention the s*** Denter would give me if he found out! No problem.... You already got the ACE, in the hole..... Ohhhh Spiiiiiike."
 * Spike zoomed up quickly!
 * Spike: "Yeah dad?!"
 * Sludge: "I wanna teach ya another dragon lesson, but, it requires that fancy map room."
 * Spike: "OKAY?! (Lifts Sludge surprisingly efferlessly to Sludge's surprise as Spike zoomed off with Sludge freaked out and shouting, then was slammed down to the Map Table as Sludge yelped in slight pain!) SO WHAT'S THE LESSON?! (Squees)...."
 * Sludge: "Owwwwwwwwwww. First off, remember what I said, about that weird squeak nose when ya smile."
 * Spike: "Oh, sorry dad. It's kinda an automatic thing."
 * Sludge: "Fair enough. Also, here's the lesson."
 * Twilight: (As the Main 6 enter) And that's why I thought we could use the map to-
 * The group got surprised to see Sludge on the map table as Spike was filing Sludge's claws.
 * Spike: Hey, gang! Dad was just showing me how a real dragon would act in a throne room.
 * Sludge: Dragons like to sprawl when they get their claws done. (Blows on claws).... Now, if you'll all excuse me, it's time for my bath.
 * Spike: (Sighs) Isn't he the best?
 * Rarity: I'm not sure that's exactly the word I would use.
 * Sludge: Uh, Spike? The bath isn't gonna fill itself, son. (Makes gun hand gestures to get Spike's attention)
 * Spike: Be right there... Dad. (Flew off).....
 * Rainbow Dash: "..... So, are we gonna get the search for the Land of Scale Collecters thing going now, or what?"
 * Twilight: "Of course, let's proceed before anything else-"
 * (Sludge): "BUBBLE BATH EXPLOSION SON?!"
 * (Spike): "HELL YEAH?!"
 * A wave of bubbles flooded into the entire castle as it sent Starlight flying right into the School and crashing cowinidently in her office!
 * (Starlight): "IT'S FINE, I NEEDED TO GET TO WORK ANYWAY?!"
 * The Main 6 were trapped in bubbles.....
 * Pinkie: "..... Hilarious as this all is, Spike cursed and it seems to slow down the plot, so, it kinda has to be cut out."
 * Rarity: ".... Perhaps we should, postpone the search attempt for when Sludge is behaving less....... Inconvinent."
 * Twilight sighed
 * Twilight: (Approaches Spike reading a book) I'm glad you're not spending the night outside again.
 * Spike: Oh, I am. I'm just looking for a good bedtime story to read to my dad first.
 * Twilight: It's nice that you have somepony to show you dragon culture. But are you sure that's what Sludge is doing?
 * Spike: What do you mean?
 * Twilight Sparkle: Well, taking over your room, making a mess of things...
 * Spike: (Scoffs) That IS dragon culture.
 * Twilight: YOU never acted like that.
 * Spike: That's because YOU raised me. Now I finally have a chance to see how I'm supposed to be.
 * Twilight: (Gets more worried) I don't think you're supposed to be any different than who you are.
 * Spike: Maybe you just don't like that I have a REAL parent now. (Twilight was heart-broken as an x-ray literally showed that)
 * Twilight: That's not true! I'm glad Sludge is here. I-I just wish he wasn't such a-
 * Spike: Dragon? Of all ponies, I can't believe YOU would have a problem with that. (Leaves)
 * Twilight: (Sighs).....
 * Music started to play....
 * Twilight: "..... I have to find a way-"
 * (Spike): "Uh, Twilight, not meaning to disrespect your musical talents, but, dad said he needs absolute quiet, so, no singing arias, okay?"
 * Twilight: "..... (Sighs)..... Okay."
 * Sludge woke up after having a great sleep with a big satisfived yawn.
 * Sludge: "Well, this is the final day before I have to take Spike back to Saursia so he can do his big destiny thing.... Ugh, and having to contend with extreme awkwordness. Oh come on Sludge, that bit is a long time coming. It'll be like removing a bandaid. It'll sting at first, but... (Leaves Spike's Room for a bit) Getting rid of the Black Emperor will be worth it in the long run. And hey, Denter will be happy to have his kid back at all. And sometime down the line, we'll LAUGH this experience off. (Grabs a cupcake from the tray) Just, one more day of vacation, then the big day for Spike. Till then, another sweet round of pampering for me. Heheheheh. Though admitingly I'd figured the boy would be smarter then this. Oh well, this will be a serious life lesson about how dragons should not be doormats. (Eats the cupcake and returns to the room to find Spike packing) (Chewing noisily) Hey! What's going on, son?
 * Spike: Twilight doesn't like having real dragons in the castle, so I told her we're moving out.
 * Sludge: (Coughs) You what?!
 * Smolder: Spike! I found the perfect cave where you two can live! There aren't even any comfortable rocks inside!
 * Spike: That does sound perfect!
 * Sludge: ("AW FLAMING S***?! EVERYTHING'S FALLING APART! IF THE KID LEAVES TOO SOON, THOSE PONIES ARE GONNA GIVE ME CRUD OVER IT!! AND ONE THING WILL LEAD TO ANOTHER, AND S*** HITS THE FAN?! QUICK, STUPID, DO SOMETHING!!") No, it doesn't! I-I-I mean, uh, I'm not sure I fully demonstrated all the ways a dragon would live here.
 * Spike: But we're not gonna live here anymore, so it doesn't matter.
 * Sludge: It matters to me! (Stammers) I want to make sure you have all the knowledge you need.
 * Spike: But I do. Dad, you've already shared so much. (Sings) This bed is much too soft, (As Smolder takes the robe off of Sludge) Just take that silk robe off, We can't be dragons living here!
 * Sludge and Spike began a tug-of-war over the pilow as Smolder helped Spike!
 * Sludge: ("OKAY, SCREW THE SUBTLETY, THE BANDAID COMES OFF NOW!!") Stop! (The Tug-of-war ends) I'm not your father!
 * Spike: What?
 * Sludge: I just said that to get in on this sweet castle life.
 * Spike: So... You... Pretended to be my dad?
 * Sludge: Now-now-now-now-now, don't look at me like that, kid. I did what any dragon would do.
 * Smolder: No. You didn't.
 * Sludge: Hey. I saw an opportunity, and I took it. THAT'S what dragons do.
 * Smolder: NO. It ISN'T!
 * Sludge: You know what? I don't need this. I'm out of here! Enjoy lovin' pony town!  (Leaves)
 * Spike: (Sighs)....
 * Sludge: (Suddenly comes back) I'm taking this pillow. (Flew far enough away from the castle)..... (Sighs)..... Well so much for being able to get the kid out of there. Ehh, ya know what, the kid still has a long way to go anyway. I mean, if he's gulliable enough to trust a guy named "Sludge", he's not fit to fight the Black Emperor..... (Sighs depressed)..... Not like I can say it isn't my fault on that..... Welp, can't get any worse then that.
 * ???: "YO FATSO?!"
 * Sludge turned and saw Quartz and the students with the Dragon Chaser Hornets.....
 * Gaster: "Smolder told everyone the doughey parasite ways ya just pulled on Spike!!"
 * Gallus: "Look, I can get behind ya liked living in that palace of an eye-sore tree castle, BUT LYING ABOUT BEING AN ORPHAN'S PARENT?! THAT'S SO LOW, EVEN ARIMASPI WOULD BE DISGUSTED AT YOU!!"
 * Ocellus: "Suffice to say, (Turns into a Bugbear) (Aggressive Voice) IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO LEAVE?!"
 * Sludge: "..... (Wimpy voice) Mommy."
 * The Students and the Chaser Hornets charged at Sludge as he screamed shrilly!
 * Pinkie: "WHOA! We diffently can't show this on the canon episode! Just focus on Spike reconciling with Twilight, okay Hasbro?"
 * Sludge came back bruzed, puffy, and red in alot of sensitive places, as he wasn't even able to keep the pillow, as he returned to the secret cave.
 * The Silluetted figures were seen before him.....
 * ???: "...... Ya f****d up, didn't you?"
 * Sludge: "..... No, shit, Sherclop! (Plops down unconscious)."
 * ??? 2: "(Sighs), Sooth-Voice really was too late to warn us that Sludge would prove.... Incompident, for the mission."
 * ???: "Also, I don't think your son's ready yet if he can be easily lolled by a guy named Sludge saying he's his father!"
 * ??? 2: "Yes, more time is needed. And for as long as the Black Emperor and the Scale Collectors remain ignorent, we can afford some, extra prolonging."
 * ???: "But just so we're clear, next time, as it should've been in the first place, YOU go with Sludge and DO IT RIGHT?!"
 * ??? 2: "It has been reckitnesed and reshived, sir. When the time comes, I pomise no incompidence. It'll be swift and focused."
 * The School of Friendship was seen as build-up for a celebration is taking place.
 * Students were seen boarding onto Electross' ship.
 * Buzzord: "Hurry, hurry, children. Step lively now. Ya wouldn't want to miss the rare oppertunity of Dragons being shown generious gifts, and it's not because of forced tribute this time."
 * Spike was seen sitting on the roof, looking slightly depressed.....
 * Smolder and the other Students found him.....
 * Smolder: "..... Hey, Spike..... What're you doing here? Kinda thought you'd be with Twilight."
 * Spike: "(Depressed) I'll join soon enough. I just need time for my thoughts."
 * Gallus: "(Groans), Let me guess, it's about the "Parents" thing, right?"
 * Little Dipper: "That was about as subtle as a cat pretending to be a mouse-only club."
 * Smolder: "Hey, let me handle this, will ya? (Gets to Spike)...... Spike, are you still thinking about your parents?"
 * Spike: "..... Look, don't tell Twilight, but, while I still meant it that she's my family, I just, I just wish I had the chance to even KNOW who my parents were. Even if they turned out to be jerks like dragons typically are, cause, at least it's SOMETHING! I thought I was on my way there with Sludge came along..... In hindsight, maybe it was stupid to trust a guy with a name like that."
 * Smolder: "Look, the very least, the asshole got what's coming to him, and he's likely miles away from Ponyville by now. Guy's a garrentied no-show from here on out."
 * Spike: ".... But still..... I wish, I have the chance, to ever see my parents, even, (Sheds tears), Even if they are dead now. (Sniffles), You guys, should go on ahead and enjoy yourselves...."
 * Smolder: "..... Not without you, Spike. Now put those wings to good use and get to Canterlot. Ya wouldn't want to be away from Sparkle and the others, right? They're like a family."
 * Spike calmed down and smiled....
 * Spike: "..... Guess I owe you an extra throw pillow for the pep talk."
 * Spike and Smolder chuckled at that as Spike flew off.
 * Barktrot flew up to the students and started levitating them.
 * Barktrot: "Entertaining as the view is, you are expected to attend as well."
 * Barktrot flew off torwords Electross' ship along with the held students.

Chapter 2: Sludge Returns/A New Dragon Comes/The Scale Collectors Are Real, But Different Than Expected
Canterlot Grounds This song played as Teranodon used this staff to siphon all magic of ponies and dragons alike Dragon Guardian Temple. Equestra, Denter and Sludge's location. Main Hall. Throwneroom. Hallway! Canterlot Royal Yard Meanwhile. Brachio Mech Hallway. Mount Aris Meanwhile... A Retalling of an event you can read on the actual episode itself later. Spike's Location
 * Spike arrived to a party of Dragons being appresiated with gifts.
 * Ember: "..... Huh..... So this is what it's like to be showered with glorious gifts and wealths, and it wasn't even being demanded as tribute...... I kinda like it."
 * Twilight: "I thought you would, Ember. My Dragon Apprsiation Day Festival went off like a charm."
 * Electross' ship arrives and beams off the entire students and factily.
 * The Ship proceeds to auto-park as Electross and Cynidress beam down to join the party.
 * Rainbow Dash: "Awww yeah, the School of Friendship express has arrived."
 * Twilight: "It'll be a great first-hand exspearience of on how different cultures can get along.... (Sighs), I just wish Spike was here."
 * Spike zoomed around surprising Twilight and the princesses as he landed.
 * Spike: "TA-DA!"
 * Twilight: "SPIKE! (Hugs him) You made it. What took you so long?"
 * Spike: "Ehh, just needed some pep-talk."
 * Gaster: HELLOOOOOO, DRAGONS!! I hope you like cruises, because you're getting an all-expense paid trip out to sea on the FRIEND-ship!....
 * Dragon 1:... Wow. That was so lame it wasn't worth laughing at.
 * Gaster: "..... Yeesh, tough crowd."
 * Celestia: "Now, Twilight, I know you have been concerned about the, ahem, issue with magic and the uh.... Mana Reverse drying out, but.... I have good faith that Thaum will resolve things soon."
 * Luna: "And just as much so as the Lodgers."
 * Candence: "Yeah! The sooner they fix the problem the better. Flurry has been getting very cranky about not having magic."
 * Twilight: "Concerns for when it is time for them, Princesses. For now, let's just have some fun. I mean, what's the worse that could-"
 * Pinkie: "LOOK! IT'S PONY'S COMET?!"
 * Sludge's Asteroid move was seen incoming!
 * Spike: "..... OH NO!! NOT HIM AGAIN!!"
 * Ember: "GANGWAAAAY!!"
 * The Group dodged as the Sludge Asteroid crashed!
 * Shining: "OH COME ON, AND THE FLOORS WERE JUST WAXED TOO?!"
 * Sludge was seen having crashed down in the middle of the party.
 * Smolder: Well if it isn't the lying pseudo-father lazy castle potato himself.
 * Ember: Just pitiful. Get your ass up you big fat bag of garbage!
 * Sludge: (Clumsly does so and mutters illegitimately)
 * Ember: What'd you say?
 * Sludge: (Mutters again)
 * Spike: IN PONISH, SWEET DRAGON GODS, WHAT IS YOUR DEAL, YOU LYING SLOB?!
 * Sludge: "Duh, duh, please, try to understand here, at first, I actselly was suppose to look for you, but thing is, it wasn't because it was for me, but it was because..... Look, it's hard for me to say it without you guys gettin' the wrong idear again, so, (Flapping was heard) HERE HE IS?! (Moves out of the way to reveil an elegant Adult form Spike the size of an Adult Pure Hippogriff showing up, surprising ponies and dragons alike)......"
 * The New Dragon: "..... (Ahem)..... First of all.... I'm sorry if my old friend ended up being abit of a dunce in what he was suppose to do. He was suppose to bring Spike back home to his real family, and not be his usual dopey self. I tried to warn See-All that he would be such a failure, but she ended up realizing this too late, as did Tuskco. She's a wise seer, but sometimes her visions aren't always, on point. Anyway, this being said, I am here to make sure he does his bumbled up job CORRECTLY, and bring Young Spike back home as soon as possible."
 * Ember: "Now hold up, new guy! In all tecnecallity, SPIKE, IS, HOME?!"
 * The New Dragon: "Is that Torch's daughter? My oh my, I remembered you when you were no more older than her! (Points to Smolder) You used to be so cute with your little freckles and all. (Dragons and some ponies began to snicker at this as Ember was embarrised)...."
 * Rainbow Dash: "..... Wow......"
 * Smolder: "That dude, has balls."
 * Barry: "(Snickers) Freckles! (Snickers)!"
 * Ember: "Duh, duh, duh, I THINK I WOULD'VE REMEMBERED SOMEONE LIKE YOU!!"
 * The New Dragon: "Fair's fair, you were young when I saw you, so obviously you wouldn't remember me. Be sure to ask your father though. I bet that old hammerhead can't forget a scale about me!"
 * Celestia began to become more curious.
 * Celestia: "..... Spike, I need you to ask the stranger why he and Sludge are interested."
 * Spike: "Why should I? He's likely just Sludge's, albeit more nicer looking, friend! He might be no better!"
 * Celestia: "Well..... It wouldn't hurt to try."
 * Gallus: "Besides, the sooner you play along, the more we can get their asses out of here and get this over with."
 * Spike: "Ugh, fine! (Walks up to the New Dragon)..... Okay dude, out with it.... Who are you and what do you want? (The New Dragon smiled sadly as if looking at a long lost family member)..... Uh..... Dude, what's with the look?"
 * Sludge: "... Oh boy.... Uh, Denter, try to focus here?"
 * Denter the New Dragon: "Oh? Oh, ahem. My apologies.... Spike..... I need you to take you back from the surface and back to your once true home in the realm of Saursia......"
 * Spike: "..... Saursia? The heck you're talking about, wise guy?"
 * Denter: "..... Spike..... I know, this will be hard to believe after what Sludge's incompidence put you through, but...... Spike..... I'm your REAL father!"
 * Spike was surprised as folks gasped!
 * Gallus: "AW COME ON, AGAIN?!"
 * Applejack: "Ugh, figures it be another scam."
 * Fluttershy: "I'm not sure..... Doesn't he remind you of what Spike looks like when he gets too much stuff?"
 * Twilight: "Actselly..... He also has the same colors as him, though the shading's deeper...... What if.... (Becomes concern and forlorn)..... What if he IS the real father?"
 * Spike: "..... D...... D..... D....... Dad?"
 * Smolder: "(Gets angry) OHHHHHHHH NO!! I AM NOT GOING THROUGH THIS S*** AGAIN!! (She and the Students got in front of Denter to sheild Spike) It was bad enough when your dumb friend did it, pal, BUT YOU GOT SOME NERVE TO DO THE SAME!!"
 * Denter took a quick annoyed look at a nervious Sludge and jestured at the group, deminstraighting "See what you had done?!".
 * Denter: "(Back at them) Young ones, please, I promise that I speak the truth. I would love to explain, but please understand, time is of the essence. The Scale Collectors finally found out Spike's location in the surface world, and he must-"
 * Gallus: "Oh nononononononono, Denty! You're not gonna pull Sludge's gag about the Scale Collectors again!!"
 * Denter looked at a sweating Sludge again and jestured "SERIOUSLY?!"....
 * Denter: "..... Listen, good children, I need to take Spike to the safety of his bloodline. It's what his mother would've-"
 * Gaster: "OH, OH, YOU'RE A REAL PIECE OF WORK TO PLAY THE MOTHER CARD, BUDDY!! YOUR FRIEND ALREADY DID THAT TOO?!"
 * Sludge: "Ohhhhhh, s*******t."
 * Denter: "...... ARE YOU KIDDING ME, SLUDGE?! DID YOU MESS UP THIS EPICLY?!"
 * Sludge: "Duh, I, I didn't meant to?! That crash ended up made me forget is all?!"
 * Denter: "..... YOU CLUMSY HALF-BRAINED MORON!! NOW ALL OF SAURSIA CONTINUES TO SUFFER TYRANNY, THANKS TO YOUR INCOMPIDENCE!! (Calms down and looks back to Spike and the Students)...... Look, I know it's hard to believe me thanks to Sludge's clumsy actions, but trust me, Spike is in danger on the surface world and needs to come right back to me as soon as possible!! It's a matter of saving a termoiled subterranean world?!"
 * Quartz: "Eh, at least you try to be abit more original that time."
 * Denter: ".... Oh for glories sake?! Okay, okay....... I'll take some time to explain the full story of- (A loud mechancial moan was heard as loud stomps are felt).... Oh no.... I'm too late!...... SLUDGE, WE HAVE TO GO, NOW?! (Moves the students aside and grabs Spike like a desperate father and began to make a run for it with a quickly Panicing Sludge!)"
 * Twilight: "SPIKE?!"
 * Luna: "GUARDS?! SLOW DOWN THOSE DRAGONS?!"
 * The Guards tried to intersect!
 * Denter: "Ugh, I do NOT have time for this! (Breaths ice-breath that freezes the guards into Giant Ice Cubes)...."
 * (Hurricane): "OH COME ON, THE ONE TIME THE GUARDS ARE ACTSELLY PRESENT, AND THEY WEREN'T EVEN REMOTELY USEFUL?!"
 * (Starswirl): "OH JUST BE GLAD THEY WERE PRESENT FOR ONCE?!"
 * Denter: "Ugh.... So much for a more peaceful interaction. Tuskco will never make peace with this!"
 * The Artifical Alicorn Guard charged in!
 * Denter breathed Electrisity that zapped and disabled the Artifical Alicorn Guards!
 * Denter: "For Pete the Dragon's sake, I came here assuming ponies were docile and peace loving, WHY DO THEY HAVE SOLDIERS?!"
 * Pinkie: "Tecnecally they're the royal guard."
 * Denter: "Well they seem soldier-like to me, so-"
 * Shining Armor charged with his elite Guards!
 * Shining Armor: "Charge what mana reserves you have, and just be careful not to hurt Spike in the process!"
 * Denter: "Ugh, bloody hell. (Breaths water on the elite Guards and Shining and splashed them into the wall, comedically knocking them out)..... Are we done? Is that ALL of these "Royal Guard"? Cause if I have to contend with ONE MORE SURPRISE, I will lose my-"
 * Rockhoof smacked his shovel right into Denter's face!
 * Rockhoof: "UNHAND THE BABY DRAGON, MAURADOR?!"
 * Denter: "(Pulls his head out of the shovel)..... I, WILL NOT, LOSE MY SON AGAIN?! (Grabs the shovel away from Rockhoof and hits him in the face)!"
 * Rockhoof: "(Face comes off the shovel) (Dazed) Ahhh, so that's what it feels like. (Plops to the floor T.K.O.)"
 * Denter: "Okay, this is getting rediculious now, Sludge, (Sludge was seen eating the snacks), It's time to fly! (Tries to fly off but Flash Magnus slams his sheild into Denter's head) OW, PISS?!"
 * Flash Magnus: "Just calm down, and we can talk about this!"
 * Denter: "FOR GLORIES SAKE, STOP WASTING YOUR ENERGY ON ME, I'M NOT YOUR ENEMY?! (Tail whips Flash Magnus away) I'M NOT HERE TO BE SO?! (Flies off along with Sludge still eating pasteries and food)"
 * Twilight: "SPIKE?! (Flies after Denter and Sludge)!"
 * Denter: "(Sees Sparkle coming)..... These are not the Ponies Spindle was hoping for!! (Breaths a fog that obscures them from Twilight's vision as it was too much for her as she coughed!)"
 * Celestia, Luna, Candence, and even Flurry Heart, along with Rainbow Dash and the Wonderbolts, joined in and fanned the fog away, only reveiling that Denter and Sludge were gone.
 * Twilight: "..... (Sadly) Spike......."
 * Celestia nudged Twilight back into the ground as did the other flyers in the air and landed.
 * Ember: "..... Twilight, I promise you that I am going to personally hunt those two down and-"
 * The loud stomping and robot sounds got louder as it was noticed that a large black fog was approuching Canterlot and the Mountain.
 * A giant metal brachiosaurus robot mech was seen slowly walking torword the Mountain, as it's scale is unbleiveably tiitanic, as it's neck towered over the mountain as it's shadow was casted across ponyville. It gave a loud robotic dinosaur moan, as it was heard throughout Equestria.
 * Pinkie: "Ohhhh! Maybe it's the petting zoo I ordered."
 * The Mech Brachio lowered it heads as it gets right to the front of the party to the worry of ponies and even dragons!
 * Pinkie: "..... Then again, I don't recall petting zoos ever having giant robotic saurans."
 * Rarity: "(ANGERLY) YA DON'T SAY?!"
 * The Robotic mech opened it's metal mouth as a metal tongue slidded down right onto the part of canterlot where the part is, haplessly crushing a balloon animal!
 * Party Favor: "NOO?! NOT ET TU, POPPY DUCKY?! (CRIES)!?"
 * Stallian: "(Shows up with Napkins) Honey, I found the napkins. (Sees Brachiosaurus mech)..... Oh what did I missed this time?"
 * Futuristic armored Deinonychus raptors charged down holding futuristic weaponry marching in an orderly fastion and halting in single file when they get to the ground of the party and hold their guns in an army fastion.
 * Buzzord: "OHHHHH! MY WORD!! JUST LOOK AT THAT TECHNOLOGY!! IT'S MORE ADVANCED WAY BEYOND I WOULD EVER MAKE!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!"
 * Deinonychus Guard: Oh why don't you f*** a robot if you love technology so much?
 * Buzzord: "Cause I have a girlfriend now, why'd you asked?"
 * Deinonychus Guard: "..... Really shouldn't've dignifived that with a respondse."
 * An excitable Compsognathus speeded right out of the mech and saw all the Ponies!
 * Compsognathus: "OH, MY GOSHIE, I AM SEEING PONIES FOR THE FIRST TIME?! EEEEEEEEEE?! (Zooms up and grabs Fluttershy by the face-cheeks) THEY'RE SO CUTE AND FLUFFY?! (Hugs Fluttershy) I WILL WUB THEM AND CUDDLE THEM AND TAKE CARE OF THEM AND FEED THEM AND BATHE THEM AND MAKE CUTE VIDEOS ON THEM TO POST ON THE DINONET?!"
 * A Troodon came forth.
 * Troodon: "Chatter, control yourself! These ponies must be studied, not treated like pets. (Brings out recorder) (Speaks to it while exsamining Rarity) Subject #0001 appears to be an overtly dolled up female mammalian equine of the ungulate family, spefically the Equidae type. Overreliance of perfume and extrmely well-kept mane and tail suggests a self-conscious need to be well groomed, either to impress potential mates, or itself."
 * Rarity: "EXCUSE MOI?!"
 * Troodon: "(Grabs Rarity's head to take closer look at horn) Specimen possesses a horn most unlike traditional Equidae reminiscent to the tusk of a narwhal. Theories suggest that mana sources are held in these growths. I, Profoundus, intend on researching this further should it be permitted as such traits could be useful. With correct upgrades in can be expected that horns would produce 900% more mana than the standard."
 * Rarity: "Ugh, why do I suddenly feel like I'm a science experiment?"
 * Profoundus: "Because you are. (She then gets to Rainbow Dash) (Still on recorder) Subject #0002 appears to be an equidae that possesses a trait unlike any normal non-avian and/or bat and/or pterasaurian animal. It appears to be a mammalian equine, with feathery avian wings. There must be some kind of function that allows such small wings to carry a heavy equine off the ground. But I suspect it to be a mana-induced mutation or an obscenely rare evolutionary path for mammal spieces never explored before outside of bats. Further examination is required. Also of note that this subject bares a tecnicolor mane and tail with the primary colors of a basic rainbow..... Suspected to be homosexual."
 * Rainbow Dash: "WHAT DID YOU JUST CU*KING SAY ABOUT ME?! I'M NOT GAY, YOU UGLY WALKING LIZARD!!"
 * Profoundus: "... Also of note, bad temper."
 * Rainbow Dash: "DO I LOOK ANGRY?! (MAKES THE "TANKS FOR THE MEMORIES" FACE)?!"
 * Profoundus: "..... Note to self, don't answer that kind of question to subject."
 * Profoundus approuched Applejack....
 * Applejack: Oh, here it comes.
 * Profoundus: "(To Recorder) Completely substandard equine, no further research required."
 * Applejack: Hah! Awkward situation avoided.... Wait a minute, did he say I wasn't special?!
 * Profoundus: (Approaches Pinkie Pie who is making wacky faces out of boredom)..... Subject #0003 is of clearly unusual nature. Will require dedicated research. (Gets to Twilight)... Subject #0004 appears to be a rarity amongst it kind for having a horn and wings."
 * Cadence: "OH WHAT ARE WE, CHOPPED LIVER?!"
 * Profoundus: ".... Rare up to five individuals."
 * Cadence: "That's more like it, you pompous-"
 * Chatter: "Hey come on, Profoundus, you're always about science stuff, why not take it easy?"
 * Profoundus: "How many times to I have to explain it to you? We are the-"
 * A shadow of a laughing Coelurosaur rose in the crowd!
 * Coelurosaur: "(Seen silluetted) At long last, our glorious forces have found Equestria- (Trips and starts bamming and blamming about on the metal tongue as clangs were heard for every smack as he fell flat on his face comically)... (Muffled) Misfortune, why do you torture me?!"
 * Chatter: "..... Hey, Slick."
 * Profoundus: "Richard."
 * Coelurosaur: "(Gets up) I TOLD YOU GUYS, IT'S DICK SLICK!! (The Ponies started to laugh bemused as did the dragons)...... Walked right into that one."
 * Profoundus: "I did advised you to legally change your name. You're hardly taken seriously otherwise."
 * Dick Slick: "AHHH, GO SUCK A MAIASAUR'S EGG, LOGIC-HEAD!!"
 * ???: "FOCUS?!"
 * A Velociraptor female with a feathery mohawk came forth with a scarred eye, wearing a strapped on rapid-fire lazer sniper-rifle on her person.
 * Chatter: "(Gulps)..... Commodore Velocius."
 * Velocius: "..... Chatter, stop cuddling the Equestrians, Profoundus, hold off your study habits for now, and Slick..... Quit embarrassing yourself."
 * Dick Slick: "YOU THINK I DON'T TRY?!"
 * Rainbow Dash: "CALLING IT!? SHE'S GONNA BE LIKE TEMPEST?!"
 * Tempest: "HEY?!"
 * Velocius: "...... MAJOR, FRONT AND CENTER?!"
 * Stomps were heard, as the fruit-punch dripped with each stomped, as coming out of the mech, was a T-Rex with cybernetic large arms as it roared a mighty roar that caused a Jurrassic Park Banner to fall before him.)
 * Chatter: Where the hell did that come from?
 * Gallus: "..... THAT IS SO F*****G BADASS?!"
 * Dick Slick: "That's why his name litterally is, Major Badass."
 * Little Dipper: "Holy moly, he's a 12-year-old dinosaur fan's wet-dream."
 * Rainbow Dash: "And we're essentially in trouble now."
 * Velocius: ".... Now that we got your undivided attention, we will ask for your unconditional surrend-"
 * ???: "VELOCIUS?! IT IS I WHO IS SUPPOSE TO SPEAK TO THE MAMMELS, NOT YOU, YOU EMBARRISING GREY AREA BETWEEN A RAPTOR AND A CHICKEN!!"
 * Velocius: "(Groans)........ My apologies, Minister. (Pulls out a device placing it down and turning into a large megaphone speaker) (Mumbling to herself) Stupid Prime being in my shoes."
 * Rainbow Dash: Well at least that megaphone thing didn't make a Transformer sound.
 * Velocius: (Speaks into the device) Presenting, the grand and glorious, the undisputable and reputable... (To herself) And insanely overrated... (Openly) The All-Powerful, Minister Prime Teranodon."
 * Suddenly the tongue turns into an escalator as it is reveiled that a Pteranodon holding a staff with an orange egg-shaped case was seen on it, as his wings had the tattoos of an unsettling dragon face on them and that he was adorn with a robe that extended the length of his legs as he gets off, reveiling that he suffers from a crippled wing and thus leans on the staff for balence. This is assumingly the Minister.
 * The Minister slowly walked with the staff as a crutch in an un-nerving and painstakenly slow matter, making ponies and dragons alike anxious about this prehistoric stranger.
 * The Minister finally reached the center point where before him was a rubber ducky, of which he stabbed with his staff, wrecking the nerves of ponies and even the toughest dragons, decapitating it and tossing it to a filly that cried.....
 * Minister P. Teranodon: "...... (Opens up his wings to display the tattoos of the monsterious dragon face, of which ponies and dragons winced at, as if it were the face of a terrorable force. Even the Celestia sisters were almost tempted to yelp in reaction)..... (Inspite of his mean looking glare, he quickly turns on a kinder face)... Mammals, of the surface world. Do not be lead astray by our great might, our technology centauries ahead of the surface's current era, nor my mighty and imposing self-tribute, to the Great Black Emperor! We come, in peace."
 * (Treehugger): "RIGHT ON MAN, PEACE FOR THE WIN!"
 * (Discord): "YOU'RE NOT HELPING MATTERS, YOU HIPPIE!!"
 * Minister P. Teranodon: "...... Ahem...... Back on point. Our Black Emperor has nay an intention to ever really harm the surface world."
 * Gaster: "(Quietly) There's going to be a caaaaaatch."
 * Minister P. Teranodon: "However, we have a greater reason why we have graced your chaotic surfaced mess of a land, with our light."
 * Gaster: "Called it."
 * Ocellus: "Gaster, shush!"
 * Minister P. Teranodon: "It's been expected that the surface realm, (Brings out a weird glowy ball) Has been harboring something that threatens the Black Emperor and our way of life in Saursia."
 * Twilight: "(Confused) Saursia?"
 * The Minister light sends the ball flouting of which turned into a digital hologram image of an egg.
 * Minster P. Teranodon: "The offspring of a union between a native dragon, and that of an off-worlder known as a "Dragon Realmian", of the accordingly legendary "Purple Dragon".... Or so Profoundus suggested. We were aiming to prevent this egg's birth, but Spindle, proved uncooperative."
 * Twilight: "(Quietly) Spindle?"
 * Minster P. Teranodon: "Now because of her interference of preventing this threat, that egg has likely hatched. So to cut some needless dialogue short, have you seen, by the estimates of years, (The Egg hatched digitally and transformed into what is now Spike) This, baby dragon."
 * The Ponies and Dragons gasped at the sight, Twilight espeically with a horrorfived expression.....
 * Smolder: (To herself) Aw flaming s***, he was telling the truth!
 * Minister P. Teranodon: "What I wish to state, is simple...... Surrender the young threat to the Black Emperor, and this will be the only over insodent related to our worlds crossing paths. Fail to comply..... Well frankly I just don't recommend it."
 * Little Dipper: "Wait, what's exactly gonna happen if you get, uh, the baby dragon?"
 * Minister P. Teranodon: "Well, like a rabid animal.... He's going to be put to sleep."
 * The Majority of folks gasped....
 * Smolder: MONSTEEEERRRRRS!!!
 * Buzzord: "..... I don't get it, what so bad about a forced bedtime?"
 * Minsiter P. Teranodon: "(Annoyed grunt)..... I.E., he's going to be euthanized."
 * Buzzord: "LE GASP!!"
 * Olhar: "Oh sure, THAT he understands."
 * Fluttershy: "WHY WOULD YOU HEARTLESS JERKS WANT TO KILL A BABY DRAGON?!"
 * Minister P. Teranodon: "Because an ungrateful Soothsayer dared predict that the brat would soon end the Black Emperor and take him away from the land of Saursia! He's being punished for a predicted crime!"
 * Pinkie: "Well you're kinda out of luck because Sludge and his over-powered friend Denter pretty much swooped in and took Spike from us so you guys kinda came in too late and-"
 * Twilight: "PINKIE!!!!"
 * Pinkie: "... Oh. Sorry."
 * The Minister lost his false smile and started to twitch in anger....
 * Minister P. Teranodon: "...... You, allowed an enemy of the emperor, TO ESCAPE?! AND RIGHT INTO THE FATHER AND HIS DUMB FRIEND NO LESS?! THE SURFACE WORLD, HAS COMMITED HERESY AGAINST THE BLACK EMPEROR?! (The Orange Egg covering began to open up by the sides and reveil a collector crystal like the Storm King as Ponies gasped).... (Music began playing)..... And the Imperial Scale Collectors, have a debt to collect."
 * Rainbow Dash: "AWWW NO, NOT ANOTHER STORM KING SITUATION!!"
 * The Depowered Main 7, the Students of Friendship and the Factily were seen making a run for it being chased by the Deino Troopers!
 * Clyde: "RUN AWAY?! WE'RE BEING CHASED BY JURASSIC STAR WARS!!"
 * Rarity: "I DON'T SUPPOSE NOW WOULD BE A GOOD TIME TO CALL FOR THE LODGERS?!"
 * Smolder: "WE'RE GONNA NEED TO F*****G SURVIVE FIRST?!"
 * Twilight: THE FRITZ WAS BAD ENOUGH ALREADY, NOW THIS!!! (They ran)
 * Deinonychus Guard #2: NOBODY'S GOING ANYWHERE!
 * Velocius: In the name of the Black Emperor, you're all under arrest!
 * Teranodon: No! They deserve worse! TIAMAAAAAAT!!! (Rumbling was heard)
 * Drakesis:... It can't be! (Suddenly, a large five-headed dragon flew in roaring)
 * Five-Headed Dragon (Tiamat) Heads: (Cackles and lands) OH, BUT IT CAN BE, AND IT IS! Hello, Drakey. We missed you.
 * Drakesis:... Tiamat! You black-hearted dracaena of the foulest breed! What dares you to fraternize with these invaders?!
 * Rainbow Dash: And why send her when you have a giant Brachio-Tank?
 * Tiamat Firehead: The Black Emperor gave this chance to me as a wedding gift. The guy knows how to give some revenge.
 * Tiamat Poisonhead: He's so dreamy.
 * Tiamat Earthhead: Though the extra eyes are... Too alien to say the least.
 * Tiamat Icehead: Yeah, he's got the mouth of a Liopleurodon, but DAMN, he's a good kisser.
 * Tiamat Lightninghead: I F*****G LOVE HIM!!! (Everyone groaned in disgust)
 * Drakesis: Well, we don't care. We want you off this land. I defeated you once, I can do it again.
 * Tiamat Firehead: Oh? And with what magic? You just lost what little magic you had left while WE in the Land of Scale Collectors spent months using stolen collector crystals from Pana to stockpile tons'a magic.
 * Celestia: YOU STOLE MAGIC FROM THE REST OF THE WORLD?!
 * Teranodon: Black Emperor's orders. With mana being mysteriously limited, it gave us an opportunity to take over a defenseless world. Without your precious magic, you're POWERLESS! And for your crimes against the Black Emperor for harboring and raising a dangerous convict, you're going to be the first to go.
 * Drakesis: We can't let you do that!
 * Tiamat Icehead: Oh? And what're you going to do about it?
 * Drakesis:... (Tries breathing fire, but it didn't work)...
 * Tiamat Lightninghead: That's the best you got? Without magic, your elemental breath is nothing! And without magic, the world is our dragonheart's for the taking. Now without further ado, we have a job to do. (The Firehead burned down much of the city, the Poisonhead infected the rest of the guards, the Icehead froze all the civilians and dragons, the Lightninghead zapped up a lightning storm, and the Earthhead shook and crumbled up buildings as the Deinonychus soldiers rounded up the ponies ironically with lassoes while avoiding the chaos)
 * Drakesis: We have to leave! Now! (The ponies were unable to fly without magic and neither were the dragons as the Deinonychus cornered them)
 * Teranodon: I'm not going to say this again, you're all under arrest in the name of the Black Emperor!
 * Velocius: (Gets out a familiar orb and threw it at the Mane Group as everything went white)...
 * Shifu freaked out from having a vision and plopped to the ground!
 * Icky: "(Enters in) Yo Shivs, Shen wants ya to ask monkey to reprepare to make some body-shaped cages depending on when we find the would-be magic buster Samantha is crypticly talking about as if she wants us to discover on our own."
 * Shifu: "ICKY, A TERROR FORCE HAS STRUCK EQUESTRIA?!"
 * Icky: "Ugh, because ALCHOURSE it does."
 * Shifu: "IT'S SERIOUS THIS TIME?! WE NEED TO RESCUE EQUESTRIA?! THIS THREAT, IS UNLIKE ANYTHING IT EVER FACED?!"
 * Icky: "So, is it, Storm King levels of bad?"
 * Shifu: "EVEN WORSE THEN IT?! We must talk to the lougers!"
 * Spike saw the storm choas in Canterlot and the giant Brachio Mech.
 * Spike: ".... LET ME GO?! TWILIGHT AND MY FRIENDS NEED ME?!"
 * Denter: "My son, I'm sorry, but we would be no help if we get captured! Their only hope for salvation is if I enable you to live to defat the Black Emperor and liberate Saursia from him and his army of slaves! (Spike gets angry) Besides, you'll meet your real family soon enough!"
 * Spike got immeasureably pissed!
 * Sludge: "Uh, Dent, I don't think that was smart of ya to say that."
 * Denter: "Sludge, you haven't exactly done your job right a certain time ago, why should I trust your-"
 * Spike bite Denter's hand!
 * Denter: "YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW?! (Lets Spike go) AS IF GETTING HIT BY A SHOVEL IN THE FACE ISN'T THE HIGHLIGHT OF PAIN?! (Spike Flew off away from the two) SON?! WAIT?! WAIT?!"
 * Denter and Sludge flew after Spike!
 * On Ponyville ground, Spike flew down and flew right torwords the castle and got in and barricaded it up with various objects, and was able to bar or closed off all windows as Denter and Sludge were seen heading for the castle as well!
 * Landing sounds were heard as gentle knocks were heard.
 * Denter's voice: "Son, please, open the door, we can't stay here, the Scale Collecters will raid this town soon after they clean-out Canterlot."
 * Sludge's voice: "(Louder slams on the door) SO OPEN UP, KID?!"
 * Denter's voice: "Sludge?! That is not helping!"
 * Sludge's voice: "Oh, sorry, I thought we were going for a good cop bad cop thing.
 * Denter's voice: "Spike is being afraid right now, and aggression won't help matters!"
 * Spike ran from the barracaded door and got to his room and closed off his bedroom window, and hid right into his bed.
 * Spike: "What am I gonna do, what am I gonna do?"
 * Spike remembered the communicator.
 * Spike: "..... Only the Lougers can help now!"
 * Spike got off the ran and ran into the castle, and gotten into the Throwne room and was surprised to see Thorax and Pharynx inside holding a banner and next to a pile of gems!
 * Thorax: "HAPPY DRAGON APPRESIATION DAY, SPIKE!"
 * Phaynx: "Ugh, same as him."
 * Spike: "Thorax, Pharynx, what're you guys doing here?"
 * Thorax: "We'd thought we surprise you with a gift of our own from us Changelings to you! This was pretty much Chrysais' private jewel collection. It was taking too much space, so, you can have it."
 * Spike: "That's sweet of you, but Equestria is basicly having another Storm King situation with the appearently real Scale Coollects AND A GIANT SAURAN MECH, AND I'M BEING CHASED BY SLUDGE AND HIS PAL DENTER WHO THINKS HE'S MY DAD?!"
 * Pharynx: "Ya mean the same fat slob 20 and Gaster told us about?! Say no more, kid! We'll keep them off your ass! (The two turned into Two Spikes)."
 * Thorax Spike: "(Spike Voice) We'll distract them as long as we can, you just do what you need to do."
 * The two flew off as Spike got to the communicator and starts typing in the number to call the Lougers.
 * Sludge: "BODYSLAM?! (Shoves his weight to break the door down as the barricade scattered everywhere, damaging the objects.)"
 * Denter: "Oh goodness heavens, Sludge, you destroyed royal property!"
 * Sludge: "Oh relax, I'm sure the little purple alicorn is like a trust-fund betty or something. I learned she was from Canterlot, and they're usually very rich and snobby ponies. Also, she's royalty, she can be able to replace this crap."
 * Denter: "Ugh, let's just worry about getting my son out of here!"
 * Thorax Spike flew by mockingly laughing at the two and flew across the hallway!
 * Sludge: "THERE HE IS?! (Zooms after Thorax Spike)!"
 * Denter: "Sludge wait, there's something that didn't sensed right about Spike- (Sludge was out of sight) AAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNND he's gone. Ugh. He's lucky I have too many fond-ish memories with him that I am even this paient."
 * Pharynx Spike showed up!
 * Pharynx Spike: "HEY ASSHOLE?! (Flips Denter off) OVER HERE?!"
 * Denter: "YOUNG MAN?! I WOULD'VE FIGURED PONIES WOULD BE MORE SENSITIVE TONGUED THEN THAT?!"
 * Pharynx Spike: "Then you'd never met Rainbow Dash, SHE CURSES UP A STORM SOMETIMES?!"
 * Denter: ".... Ugh, Spindle, you may've drasticly underestimated these Ponies. Son, please, I want to talk about this with you- (Pharynx Spike flew off laughing like an asshole) SON, WAIT, PLEASE?! (Flew after him like a concerned parent) PLEASE LISTEN?!"
 * Spike: "(Was talking with Trixie) And that's what happened!"
 * Trixie: "KUMBYA, SPIKE?! ANOTHER STORM CLAN SITUATION ANNNND TWO DRAGONS COMING AFTER YOU?! THE LOUGERS WILL GET THERE BEFORE THE CURTAIN CALL?!"
 * Spike: "JUST HURRY?!"
 * Sludge: "(Chases Thorax Spike) COME BACK HERE, KID, THIS IS TOO SERIOUS TO FOOL AROUND?! THE SCALE COLLECTERS ARE HERE AND THEY WANT YOU DEAD, SO WE'RE TRYING TO AVOID THAT SHIT?!"
 * Thorax: WAIT.... They want to kill Spike? (He reveals his true form)
 * Sludge: What the- A CHANGELING?! Did Spike put you up to this?!
 * Thorax: Yes, but I didn't know you were just trying to protect him.
 * Sludge: WIPE THE FIERY S*** OUT OF YOUR EYES AND EARHOLES, S*** STAIN, EQUESTRIA IS UNDER ATTACK!!! (He saw that happening outside and was shocked)
 * Thorax: "That much Spike already told me, but I didn't realised it was this severe."
 * Sludge: Well the more you know, the more you survive. And they want Spike. The little brat's just being uncooperative.... Though I admit that's been my fault. My first attempt, ended in stupid stupid confusian cause I wanted to take the time to relax in luxery for abit, and now the kid can't trust us as far as he can throw us!
 * Thorax: "(Sternly) Well fair's fair, that thing you did is something even Chrysalis or even Throx would find low! And deception is THEIR THING!"
 * Sludge: I know I know, I have that hammered into me how much of a fuck up I am! Look, point is,hHis REAL father is here to save him.
 * Thorax:... I, I didn't know. (Suddenly Pharynx was pushed through a wall with his true form exposed)
 * Denter: DID YOU THINK I WOULD FALL FOR THIS STUPID TRICK?! I know what's a Changeling and what isn't. In fact, there's hives of them that exist within Saursia from their part of the underearth! But the real red flag was how crass you are in personality! MY SON IS IN DANGER AND YOU'RE HELPING HIM KILL HIMSELF!!!
 * Pharynx: "WELL THERE'S JUST THE MATTER IF HE'S EVEN YOUR ACTUAL KID, BUDDY?! (Turns into an Assulter Beetle) AND BASED FROM WHAT I HEARD ABOUT YOUR ACCOMPLISE, I'M ENCLINED TO HAVE REASONABLE DOUBT?!"
 * Thorax: Pharynx, stop, that's Spike's father!
 * Pharynx:... Oh. I thought he looked too similar to him. Forgive us. Your son got us to distract you.
 * Denter: HE WHAT?! Ugh. We have to stop him!!
 * Spike: (Flew towards the door until he was met by Thorax and Pharynx who teleport in front of him)... Guys. What happened?
 * Thorax: (Sighs) Spike, we're sorry... (Denter and Sludge appeared behind him) But we can't let you go out there.
 * Spike: Wha, guys, I have to save my friends!
 * Denter: Young man, this has gone far enough.
 * Spike: SHUT UP, YOU F*****G FAKER! (He kicked him in the groin shocking everyone) And as for you two! WHAT UP WITH PULLING A DOUBLE-CROSS?! And yet you're still reformed Changeligns!? WHAT'S UP WITH THAT, GUYS?!
 * Thorax: We're trying to save your skin, Spike! If you go out there, you're GOING to get killed!
 * Spike: THOSE TWO ARE LIARS!!! (Breaths fire at them as they resist it by shapeshifting into ichneumons, scaring Denter and Sludge) WHAA!!!
 * Thorax: You're not going out there, Spike!
 * Spike: WATCH ME!! (Tries and fails to fight them off as their current forms were able to handle him) LET ME GO, LET ME GO, YOU TRAITORS!!!! (They restrain him with ropes) I SAID LET ME GO!!! HELP!!! HELP!!! (He was about to be returned to Denter) PUT ME DOWN!!
 * Thorax: SPIKE, STOP!! WE'RE DOING THIS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!! (He was returned to Denter)
 * Spike: NO, NO, PLEASE, LET ME GO!!! DON'T DO THIS!!!
 * Thorax: Take good care of him. We'll help any way we can.
 * Denter: Thank you. As for you, you are in big trouble! We're going home right now.
 * Spike: Equestria IS MY HOME!!! And I can't believe you two would betray me like this!! AFTER ALL I DID FOR YOU, I THOUGHT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE FRIENDS!!!
 * Pharynx: Don't you DARE try getting to us with those words. We're trying to protect you. We promise we'll be back for you, but you can't help them now. Right now we have a lot to do.
 * Spike: DON'T LEAVE ME ALONE WITH THEM!!! PLEASE!!! (They were gone)
 * Denter: There. Now we're leaving, and you are getting punished for your delinquency.
 * Spike: I'm not going anywhere! You're not my father!
 * Denter: Spike, I'm only going to say this once. You may have a good home here, but you're still a dragon, and you can't disbelieve any dragon who claims they're your parent. Not counting Sludge alchourse for obvious reaons, but still! This threat is looking for you and you almost delivered yourself to them, and as your father, it's my job to protect your from those beasts. And pardon me if I started to sound like an atypical Surface Dragon, but, I don't care how much this place means to you, YOU'RE GOING TO DO WHAT I SAY, AND STOP THE DAMN WHINING!!!
 * Spike:... (He started crying as Sludge just put a pacifier in his mouth)
 * Denter: Sludge, take that out of his mouth, he's not THAT young a dragonling!
 * Sludge: Sorry, but I refuse to listen to him cry like a big baby the whole trip- (Spike threw the pacifier in his face as he did this)
 * Denter:... You know, I would've done the same thing.
 * Sludge: "Well we still need to keep him from crying for other reasons. Like how it would attract unwanted attention."
 * Denter: "Fair point. We'll go through a sound-proof part of the Everfree Forest and basicly vanish from there."
 * The two flew into the Everfree forest.
 * Inside the now leaving Brachio Mech, the Ponies and Dragons are being held into the stomich compartment of the mech, inside a large laser cell brig.
 * The Main 7, The Students and the Factily were seen, awaken and normal again.
 * Buzzord: "(Gasps like a fanboy)! ARE THOSE LAZER CELL BARS?! THIS IS CUTTING EDGE STUFF?! WANNA TOUCH IT?!"
 * Profoundus: "(Shows up) I would wish to advise against it. These lazers tend to cut and charaised skin and tussie, bone as well even."
 * Buzzord: "(Laughs like a crazed goof!) So magnifisent?!"
 * Profoundus: "(Raises an eyebrow curiously)...."
 * Applejack: "..... Ya'll have to mind the professor. He REALLY loves fancy gizmos."
 * Rarity: "He's espeically fond of what you people have, so try to be flattered if you can."
 * Profoundus: "..... (To recorder) Note to self, request permission to recruit surface avian as personal assistent for pootaintional use."
 * Pinkie: "Okay, that's too flattered, he's kinda a renounced klutsy genius."
 * Profoundus: ".... (To Recorder) Additional note, reprogram into acceptable assistent standerds first, then recruit."
 * Rainbow Dash: "DAMN IT PINKIE, YOU JUST HAD TO WARN THE BAD GUYS ABOUT HOW MUCH OF A YUTS BUZZORD IS?! HE COULD'VE GOTTEN US OUT EASILY WITHOUT EVEN TRYING?!"
 * Chatter: "(Shows up) Ohhh, Profoundus, are you planning to adopt one of them? Can I adopt the cute yellow pony with the pink mane? She's so cute and fluffy and I wanna brush her mane and stuff!"
 * Profoundus: "Chatter, you know this is only up to Teranodon if any of us were to have anything out of this, he is the one collector the Black Emperor deemed the favored one after all!"
 * Dick Slick: "(Seen spinning around a lazer knife) For as much as the Commodore is SO IN-LOVED with the idea. (Slips up with the lazer knife and it fell down as Dick cowerdly flinches away) AAAAAAAAH?!"
 * Profoundus: "Richard, I had instructed you to know play with the equitment. Cease up on trying to look like the poster child for machesmo and focus on the duty at hand."
 * Dick Slick: "Hey I don't have to take your orders, Dr. Scratch'n'Stiff, cause I'm a loose cannon who only plays by the rules of being a badass!"
 * Profoundus: "You actselly do this to compinstate the fact you live a miserable existence like all of us in the Scale Collectors."
 * Dick Slick: "Oh that's it, nerd, I'm gonna-"
 * Velocius' voice: "THE THREE OF YOU, ENOUGH?!"
 * Velocius came forth with Major Badass as the trio eased up and saluted.
 * Velocius: "Cease your fool-hardiness and focus. (Turns attention to the group)...... So this..... Is the legendary, Tribright Parkle."
 * Applejack: "Beg yer pardon, but, it's pronounced "Twilight Sparkle"."
 * Velocius: "Apologiese. Your surface languise frustraights me."
 * Rainbow Dash: "What're you talking about, we BOTH speak english here!"
 * Velocius: "I mean your naming conventions confuse me. They don't sound like, normal names, they sound like stage names."
 * Rarity: "Oh like your names sounded any less abnormal."
 * Velocius: ".... (Snorts)..... Now listen up. The Minister may be the collectors' leader..... But down here..... You all, answer, to me."
 * Splash: "Oh, so your the one we have to ask to go to the bathroom?"
 * Velocius: "...... Am I, a joke to you?"
 * Electross: "Lady, you're litterally a dinosaur Tempest Shadow! You're like one of those MLP fanarts where the Main 6 are dinosaurs suddenly!"
 * Velocius: "(Closes fist in anger)..... You know, if the Black Emperor just gave me a chance, YOU PEOPLE WOULDN'T'VE BEEN SO DISRESPECTFUL TO ME?!"
 * Barktrot: "Well what does that say about this, "Black Emperor", if the flying reptile is the one encharged, while you are no less of a subservient then them? (Points to Chatter, Profoundus, and Dick Slick)."
 * Velocius: "..... Are you trying to mock the Black Emperor's value in me?"
 * Yakhalla: "We're only saying that you are serving a ruler with no value for their subjects. If you are expected to threaten and harm other nations and steal magic for such a leader, then that makes this Emperor a tyrant. In fact, I sense that he could be even worse then that."
 * Velocius: "(Growls like a JP raptor)..... Be thankful I don't have it in me to inform Tiamat of this umpudence. But because the Emperor wants to have his final judgement FIRST, before any are allowed to do as they see fit! You better hope your protection of his would-be destroyer would at most condemn you to a life-time of redemption as laborors in his emperor!"
 * Entropy: "Pff, so either death or slavery, huh? Jokes on you, some of us are immortal!"
 * Velocius: "(Confident smirk) We dealt with the immortal before. The Black Emperor gave us the gifts to use the dread illness, Morality Illness, against them, through his captured pet..... The Deity Queller."
 * Spoonful: "Deity Queller? I heard about something like that. I have a cousin who's obcess with cosmic ptaheons in Kludgetown! He said that such a creature is behind the existence of morality illness to prevent inrealm gods from over-enpowering mortals."
 * Rainbow Dash: "You mean that kinda thing is behind why Celestia has it?"
 * Spoonful: "In throey, yes. Don't ask too much, my knowledge of cosmic deities are limited cause, well I'm not my Cousin Teaspoonful, I try to focus on historic things, not that love-craftian bro-haha! Besides, he insisted that Outer Gods are NEVER contained or enslavable!"
 * Velocius: "Then that is what makes the Black Emperor so special to us. He's beyond his appearence of being a dragon. Let's just say, he's beyond even the strongest dragon you think of. He's something special that even Tiamot doesn't yet understand. He is why our socity is so advanced, why this incredable automaton exists, why we are not subugated to illness, poverty, and most other woes of the world! He is a virtuious great force of our world, and that hatchling threatens to take him away from us!"
 * Twilight: "SPIKE MADE NO SUCH THING?!"
 * Velocius: "Maybe not willingly, but the defector prophet Sooth-Voice, who asided with an ungrateful rebelion lead by Tuskco, Denter and Sludge's superior. Those traitors want to ruin our kingdom."
 * Silverstream: "Look, I know you all are greatful for this Emperor for this power, but, what if this rebelion had a reason why they turned on him? What if this power has a price you didn't get to see?"
 * Spirule: "Indeed. I am sensing many unsual vibes with this tec. It is beyond what Equestria's currently capable off. Beyond even what Eureka Corp offers."
 * Velocius: "....  Such un-enlighten minds will changed soon, when you get your trial. One day, this world will be better off under his mighty wings. So all life at every layer of earth, and even the surface, will phrase the name of The Black Emperor. You better get comfirtable."
 * Velocius and her troupe left.
 * Rainbow Dash: "..... Yup, she's basicly Tempest 2.0. allright. Only this is like, the Tempest Sauren edition."
 * Tempest's voice: "(From the neightbering cell with the Pillers, Founders, and the Princesses) WILL YOU PLEASE STOP COMPAIRING ME TO HER?!"
 * Grubber: "Hey, to be fair, they're not wrong."
 * Ember's voice: (From the other neighberng side with her Elite and Drakesis' family) Yeah, Tempest, you kinda used to be exactly like that birth defected chicken yourself!"
 * Barry: "Aw man aw man aw man?! I thought the Scale Collectors were just a myth mommy dragons used to scare bad hatchlings to behaive! NOW THEY'RE REAL, AND EVEN WORSE THEN JUST BEING PANANS THAT HUNT DRAGONS?! (Breaks down crying) HELP ME MOMMY, HELP ME?! I WANT MY BLANKE, AND MY WAIFU PILLOWS?!"
 * Earrita: "DAMN IT, BARRY?! (Grabs him and starts smack him) PULL, YOURSELF, TOGATHER?!"
 * Rarity: "Ember? Tempest? Everyone else? Are you all okay?"
 * Candece: "(Comferting Flurry) Not in, the most ideal positions, but, I wouldn't say okay's a bad choice of words."
 * Pinkie: "Don't worry everyone, Twilight Sparkle's gonna get us out of this! Right Twilight! (Saw that Twilight was crying)..... Uh, Twilight?"
 * Gallus: "..... Are you, still on about Denter taking Spike away?"
 * Ocellus: "Look, if it helps, since he turned out right, that means that Denter and, even barely Sludge are not the bad guys here."
 * Twilight: "(Sadly) I got that perfectly..... It's just..... Now that I know for certain that Spike does have a real family.... (Cries) Then what does Spike need me for?"
 * Clyde: "AW CRAP NO, DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE HAVING AN ADOPTIVE FAMILY CRISIS ON US WHILE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A STORM KING SITUATION WITH THIS BLACK EMPEROR DUDE?!"
 * Starlight: "Hey, Twilight has this problem for awhile now ever since Sludge showed up to begin with! Twilight is afraid that when push comes to shove, she just can't compete with ANY actual blood-family Spike would have! She felt like she robbed Spike of being a real dragon and feels guilty for basicly raising someone else's child! She's afraid of being, a stand-in!"
 * Applejack: "..... Twilight, is, is that why you wanted to get looking fer Spike's Mom awhile back? Are you, afraid of only being viewed as subplimentry?"
 * Twilight: ".... (Sniffles).... I know this is coming at a bad time, but-"
 * Rainbow Dash: "Twilight......"
 * Silence......
 * Rainbow Dash: "..... Just because Denter's Spike's actual parent, doesn't mean you're just a side-dish. While he and Spike's mom, likely had to send Spike to Equestria for his safety cause that stupid emperor's afraid of him, you're the one that hatched him. You've been there for him while they were forced to be away from him. You are a not a stand-in. You are just as much Spike's family as they actselly are.... Like we all are to him. Don't, ever let anyone make you forgot that. Spike was even the only one that stood by you after your, little meltdown back in the Storm King situation. That's how much Spike cared for you. In fact, I bet he's giving Denter and Sludge some shit for their dingus moves of taking him from us, good reasons aside. Spike would sooner want to be with you, then be made to run away."
 * Starswirl: ".... Indeed Sparkle. Families do not always need direct blood relations to be a family. It's the bonds that build families, not bloodlines."
 * Twilight eased up on her doubts.....
 * Clyde: "..... Yeah great, great asop of the day, NOW CAN YOU PLEASE FIGURE OUT HOW TO GET US OUT OF HERE?!"
 * Quartz: "Clyde, shut up and let Twilight GET TO THAT?!"
 * Smolder: Yeesh, you're such a drama queen.
 * Clyde: "I can't help it! I read alot of dragon books about the Scale Collectors in their myths and folktales, and I heard about how they collect scales?! They often pull the scales off one by one, sometimes all at once, OFTEN WHILE THE DESCALED IS STILL ALIVE?! IN FACT, THEY KEEP YOU ALIVE JUST SO YOU'LL GROW MORE SCALES?! THESE GUYS ARE PSYCOS?! AND NOW THAT I FOUND OUT THEY HAVE ADVANCED TECKNOWAGEY, THE METHODS ARE WORSE?!"
 * Smolder: "Hey, I heard of those legends too, dad tells them to me and bro all the time to scare us, ya don't hear me freaking out."
 * Quartz: "I heard those legends too, and I'm fine. In fact, Clyde, I'm younger then you and yet I'm not scared of these guys. Says alot about how brave I am."
 * Clyde: "THAT'LL CHANGE WHEN THEY PIN YOUR TAIL ON A HOOK IN THE SHAPE OF A ICHNEUMON MOUTH AND LEAVE YOU THERE LIKE ANIMALS IN A SLAUGHTERHOUSE?! OR MAYBE LIKE A FUTURISTIC EQUILENT?!"
 * Gallus: "Clyde, calm down, freaking out isn't gonna help anyone!"
 * Yona: Um, what's an ichneumon?
 * Ocellus: A giant element-resistant mongoose and the natural enemies of dragons. We learned about them last month. I can't exactly show you what they look like with my powers given we just lost our magic.
 * Fluttershy: Pred always said he wanted an ichneumon as an anti-dragon mount.
 * Smolder: Because of course he did. But we're not talking about those squealing rats. We need to get out of here.
 * Twilight: Well I can't exactly say it out loud, because need I remind you that PINKIE BLABBED ABOUT SPIKE BEING TAKEN AWAY AND GETTING US HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE?!
 * Pinkie: "Gees, lighten up Twilight, I kinda figured that Teranodon guy would want Spike more then really care about us."
 * Twilight: "THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT BETTER, PINKIE, CONSIDERING HE ADMITED TO WANTING TO PUT SPIKE DOWN LIKE A DOG?!"
 * Pinkie: "Well I figured he would've left us alone if he felt like he came here for nothing."
 * Twilight: "HE WAS UNDER THE ASSUMTION THAT WE WILLINGLY HELPED DENTER AND HAD PARPISIPATED IN AN APPEARENT CONSPIRACY AGAINST THEIR LEADER?!"
 * Pinkie: "Well if you hadn't interupted me, I would've gotten to the part that we tried to stop Denter and Sludge from taking Spike!"
 * Gallus: "Only because of a misunderstanding! And even then, I doubt that psyco bird lizard would care anyway! He would've just as easily turned on us for the fact we failed to prevent Denter from having Spike, and there's still the thing about Spike was raised and nutured on the surface! He would've done what he did anyway! Believe me, I ain't a stranger to self-rightious nutcases!"
 * Rarity: "Indeed. He litterally said that Spike is integral to end the reign of their emperor! It's safe to say he wouldn't've been so forgiving even if he had the full story."
 * Pinkie: "Well, it's just, I kinda hoped that if we engaged dialogue with him more and explain the good things Spike did, maybe he wouldn't think Spike's so bad?"
 * Rainbow Dash: "(Facehoofs) Except for the fact that these are clearly bad guys, Pinkie, and that Denter and Sludge, are like resistence members!"
 * Candence: "Chances are, I don't think he was going to care about the good he did for the Christal Empire, or, for any of Equestria for that matter."
 * Pinkie: ".... I'm sorry guys, it's just, I figured that since they were looking for Spike that, it's only him they want."
 * Starlight: "Well clearly they were flexible enough to go after us as well cause we done goofed in their eyes for the fact Denter was able to get Spike away from us! Yeah, kinda see why Denter and Sludge wanted the Black Emperor gone!"
 * Applejack: "Now hold up, everypony. Being mad at Pinkie, or anyone for that matter, doesn't help no more than freaking out like Clyde."
 * Shore: "Applejack's right. We need each other more than ever now."
 * Snipeskale: "Yeah team. What's important now is we get out of here. And kick some turd asses along the way!"
 * Buster: "But poop comes OUT of butts, they don't have them."
 * Caster: "He was degrading those Scale Collectors, Bust."
 * Twilight: ".... (Sighs).... Sorry I got mad at you Pinkie, it's the Spike-Stress."
 * Gaster: "Okay, if Twilight's not gonna keep her "Oh my baby" worries out of her head, then I'm revising the plan. Okay, so here it is- (A Boxing Glove Punches Gaster in the Face) D'OW?!"
 * Computer: "Anti-Conspiring System Engaged."
 * The Boxing Glove went back into the floor.
 * Smolder: "..... You're f*****g kidding me..... They have, an anti-plan system?!"
 * Gallus: "Yeah, that obviously needs to go if we're gonna do anything. So here's the- (Another Boxing Glove Hits Gallus) D'OW?!"
 * Buzzord: "An anti-conspiring thought system, THAT'S INGENIUS?! This kind of thing can help prevent prison escapes!"
 * Entropy: "Like it's doing NOW?!"
 * Buzzord: ".... Well the appeal is marred given the situation, but still, it's a lovely sounding invention!"
 * Gallus: OH MY GOD, BUZZORD, JUST GO AND HAVE SEX WITH A ROBOT ALREADY!!! (Much of the prisoners laughed at that)
 * Buzzord: "Well again, cause I am being into Euri, I kinda don't need a mating partner robot-"
 * Barktrot: "THEN STOP FANGASUMING ON OUR ADVERSARIES DEVICES?!"
 * Silverstream thinks for abit.....
 * Silverstream: ("I wonder if this system only works on direct sound....") "Hey guys, I got a-"
 * Another Boxing Glove fired out as Silverstream quickly used Gallus as a Griffin Sheild!
 * Gallus: "PLACH?!"
 * Phoebe: "Hey what up with the Griffin Sheild, Hippogriff?!"
 * Silverstream: "Guys, I think this system is based on hearing us speaking about a plan out-loud."
 * Gaster: "Oh sure, let's try using the power of telepathy THAT WE DON'T FREAKING HAVE!!"
 * Rainbow Dash had an idea!
 * Rainbow Dash: "..... Hey, I have a plan guys- (Another Boxing Glove fired, but Rainbow Grabbed it, yonked it out, got the metal part out, puts on the glove, and punched opened a wall where futuristic circuits are seen)..... I still have a pla-"
 * Another Boxing Glove fired out, Rainbow dodged and the Glove punched the circuits, malfunctioning the laser bars on their cell, freeing the Main 7, Students and Factily!
 * Rainbow Dash: "(Coyfully) Oopsie! (Ditches the glove)!"
 * Gallus: "Well not bad, Professor Egghead."
 * The group got out of the cell.
 * Twilight: "Don't worry Princess, we're gonna get you and everyone else out! We're getting out of here!"
 * Celestia: "No Twilight. We'll only slow you down. Save yourselves."
 * Ember: "ARE YOU F*****G SERIOUS?! SHE'S OUT?! SHE CAN TOTALLY-"
 * A Deino Trooper from a platform: "CAPTIVES ARE ESCAPING?!"
 * An alarm was sounded!
 * Celestia: ".... Twilight, you and the others would be no help to us if you get captured and put in a stricter confindment. You need to escape!"
 * Twilight: "BUT PRINCESS-"
 * Starswirl: "We'll be okay, Twilight. Now..... Run you fools!"
 * Clyde: "That is the most obvious reference you can mak-"
 * Spoonful: "Everyone? COMPANY?!"
 * Deino Troopers were charging forth!
 * Olhar: "Oh boy! Exit, stage right!"
 * The group but Twilight made a run for it as Olhar used his eye beams to block off the Deino brigade.
 * Twilight finally gave in, and with tears, ran off as well!
 * Velocius: "(Shows up with Chatter, Profoundus, and Slick) WHAT'S GOING ON?!"
 * Chatter: "THAT! (Points to the escaped group)...."
 * Velocius: "..... (Abit impressed) Now this, is what I expected from her. (Loudly) MAJOR?!"
 * Major Badass came from nowhere and intersected the group's path and roared!
 * Buzzord: "Hatty, distraction! (Hatty flew off and began to distract and annoy Major Badass as he tried to swipe at him!)"
 * The Group ran passed Major Badass and Hatty flew off after the group after Major Badass was distracted enough!
 * Major Badass realized that he was had and looked to see that the group are running off and chased after them with the Deino Troopers!
 * Clyde: "(To Yona while running) Come on Yona, work that Cardio, lose that Yak-Fat!"
 * Yona: "YOU DID NOT JUST IMPLY I'M FAT?!"
 * Ocellus: "(Starts to slow down) Chest, on, fire, can't breath!"
 * Gaster turned for Ocellus and held her on his back!
 * Gaster: "ONE GASTER CAB, COMING UP?! (Runs with Ocellus on him)"
 * Ocellus: You're my hero, for once. (Gaster blushed as Caster and Buster softly laugh at this as Silverstream gave a sly look at that)
 * Velocius: "Enough of this?! (Zooms off and jumps on the railing of the stairs to slide of on them, and pulls out her sniper rifle and aimed at the direction of the group, to ahead of the group where the gate was held)."
 * Velocius fired the target on the gate as it quickly began to fell!
 * Just as it fell, Yakhalla and Olhar got ahead and grabbed the gate with their combined strength!
 * The Group got under as Yakhalla and Olhar still held the gate up as they moved to the otherside, and let it go as it slammed, blocking the dino forces out?!
 * Velocius landed on the bottom stairs and growled?!
 * Velocius: "OTHER EXIT?! QUICKLY?!"
 * Velocius ran off as the Deino Troopers and Major Badass followed her!
 * The Group ran across the long corridor hallways!
 * Daylight: "NOW WHAT DO WE DO?!"
 * Silverstream: "(Gets a good look of the directory of the Mech as they passed by) They have a ship hanger bay on the topside!"
 * Entropy: "Well we're out of luck, we'll never make that?!"
 * Rarity: "Oh joyious luxuries! (An elevator was seen) AN ELEVATOR?!"
 * Barktrot: "I doubt it would fit all of us!"
 * Buzzord: "Well I doubt the stairs would be better! (Gets to it, presses the button and enters into nothing) Now come o- (Falls down) WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- (Fades)..... (Returns) -aaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (WOOSHES BACK UP AND BEYOND) AAAAAAAAA-HAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa-!?"
 * Igmar: ".... This is no elevator. It's an air tube system!"
 * Barktrot: ".... Well, room issue resolved then."
 * The Group got in as the air tube lifted the entire group up!
 * The Group exclaim in the pressure of the air's lifting power as they caught up with Buzzord who is over-enjoying himself!
 * Buzzord: "THIS IS TRUELY MARVELOUS?! SUCH WONDERIOUS TECKNOWAGEY?!"
 * Pinkie: "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE?! THIS IS FUN?!"
 * Gaster: "WELL GOOD TO KNOW YOU TWO IDIOTS ARE HAVING FUN?!"
 * Velocius saw that the group were in the tube!
 * Velocius: "..... QUICKLY, TO THE HANGAR?!"
 * Velocius then lead Badass and the Deinos to another direction!
 * The Heroes made it to the point of the Hanger and all but Pinkie and Buzzord enjoying themselves on the Air Tube got out!
 * Pinkie/Buzzord: "WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee- (Fade out, fade in) -eeeeeeEEEEEE (Rainbow Dash and Barktrot grabbed Buzzord and Pinkie Pie and pulled them out of the tube).... Awwwwwwwww, I was having fun."
 * The group ran into the hanger and saw a luxery giant Dragonfly Mech onboard.
 * Koningin: "Quick! That giant dragonfly machine might be able to fit us all!"
 * The group got to the side door of the mech and Olhar used all his strentgh to open it, allowing the group to start boarding it!
 * Velocius and the forces just entered the Hanger!
 * Velocius: "Oh no, the Minsister's faverite Luxery D.R.A.G.O.N.F.L.Y. mech copter!! He'll never let me hear the end of it!! (Leaps up into the air and flipped rapidly and intersected Twilight as the last one to board)....... You were a worthy opponent, Moonlight Tinkle-"
 * Applejack's voice: "TWILIGHT SPARKLE!?"
 * Velocius: "Twilight Sparkle, but ultimately, my superior skills, (Brings out another orb) Dominate you."
 * Twilight: ".... If your difficulty to remember my name is any indication, Velocius..... You barely even gotten to know me. (Suddenly makes a funny face)!"
 * Velocius was confused by that!
 * Yona came from nowhere and rammed into Velocius, sending her flying right into the Deino Troopers, crashing into them as she dropped the orb which ended up petrifying Deino guards.
 * Yona helped Twilight up as the two got into the Mech!
 * Electross got into the pilot's seat and used his knowledge of ships to activate the mech and have it airborne as it started to fly as Olhar got in and closed the side door.
 * Suddenly, Major Badass grabbed the Mech and held it in place!
 * The side door opened again to show Koningin as she pulled out a smokebomb and tossed it into Badass' face, as he roared in confusion and lets go of the mech as Koningin got back in and the side door closed as Dragonfly Mech leaves the Brachio Mech!
 * Velocius: "NO?! (Tries to aim at the Mech with the Rilfe!)"
 * Chatter: "(Stops Velocius) NO WAIT, VELLY, PRIME WILLL BE MAD AT YOU FOR BREAKING HIS FAVERITE MECH?!"
 * Velocius: "HE'LL BE EVEN MORE MAD IF THOSE CAPTIVES ESCAPE WITH IT?!"
 * Dick Slick: "A BIT OF A LOSE-LOSE SITUATION, YEAH, BUT DON'T CHANCE IT WRECKING THE THING?!"
 * Profoundus: "Oh for Peter Dactyl's sake, I'll just use the magnetic beam to pull the D.R.A.G.O.N.F.L.Y. Luxery Unit back in. (Presses the button as the Dragonflu mech was being pulled back in slowly)..... You see? Problem, solved-"
 * Suddenly, the side of the Brachio mech was hit by Shen's Firework Ball as the Van flew in next to the Dragonfly Mech and helped it escaped.....
 * Profoundus: ".... (To recorder) Note to self: Be sure to account for Alien Attacks for Magnet Beam. Also of note: Aliens proven real. Reshurch potaintional, boundless."
 * Velocius: "(Growls) (MAKES THE JP RAPTOR SCREECH!)"
 * Dick Slick: "ALIENS?! THERE'S FREAKING ALIENS NOW?!"
 * Chatter: ".... Ohhhh dear..... Well, at least, Prime's mech isn't damaged."
 * Velocius: "..... CHATTER, YOU IMBECILE?! I COULD'VE STOPPED THOSE CAPTIVES?!"
 * Chatter: "I was only making sure you aren't on Prime's bad side even more then typically?!"
 * Velocius: "AND LETTING THEM ESCAPE'S THE BETTER OPTION?!"
 * Chatter: "At least Profoundus tried to help!"
 * Velocius: "THEN APPEARENTLY ALIENS SHOWED UP?!"
 * Dick Slick: "Hey, Vel, calm down, we'll re-catch those suckers, we got mech ships of our own! And we'll nail the aliens for good measure for helping foes of the Scale Collectors, baby!"
 * Chatter: "Or, we just ask Prime to teleport the D.R.A.G.O.N.F.L.Y. here?"
 * Velocius: "We can't tell Prime about this!"
 * Profoundus:... You did not just say that.
 * Velocius: I did, and I am.
 * Profoundus: I seriously don't recommend it. It's against protocol.
 * Velocius: What choice do we have?
 * Chatter: A BIG ONE!
 * Velocius: YOU SHUT UP, TINY!
 * Chatter: Hey no need to get sizeist here!
 * Velocius: We're not telling Prime about this. End of discussion.
 * ???: No. Not end of discussion. (Teranodon came from behind her)
 * Chatter: I was just going to remind you that he has magic.
 * Velocius:... Aw, coprolites.
 * Teranodon: Velocius, I am ABHORRED by your insubordination. I could've instantly teleported them back, but you elect to just ignore that?
 * Dick: I think it's because she's still jealous of you.
 * Velocius: DICK!!! THAT'S NOT HELPING!!
 * Teranodon: He's not inaccurate, however. Ever since the venerable Emperor chose me as his minister, you have seriously been stepping out of line. Just because you were the first Saurusian he personally hatched when our eggs were adopted, doesn't mean you deserve the respect that belongs to me and me alone.
 * Velocius: HE CALLED ME AN ABERRATION JUST BECAUSE I'M A REPTILE WITH FEATHERS!!! He should know damn well that we raptors are the ones that spawned birds.
 * Teranodon: Irrelevant.
 * Velocius: It IS relevant!!
 * Teranodon: SILENCE!! Velocius, you know your place. If you want to remain a part of the only home ANY OF US, will ever have, I recommend you never forget it. The Black Emperor does not appreciate insubordination. So we will not have this problem again. I always have the Emperor on speed-dial, and I WILL report you. And given his collection inside his palace's crater pit, you remember what happens to people who forget their place.... So, have you forgotten your place?
 * Velocius:... No.
 * Teranodon: What is your place?
 * Velocius: I am Commodore Velocius Claww, commander of the Black Emperor.
 * Teranodon: Then I repeat, we will never have this problem again. Will we?
 * Velocius:... No.
 * Teranodon: Then I expect you to do your job and follow protocol. You will not omit anymore information regarding your performance for any reason. Am I clear?
 * Velocius:... Yes.
 * Teranodon: Good girl. Now, as for the plan, this staff of mine needs to replenish magic. The magic we collected was specifically ordered to be brought to the Emperor. I must obtain magic from another source. But even then, I feel like these aliens are, serious adversaries. Even with this Fritz, they are likely to be equals to us, if potaintionally greater with the presence on a particular sort with a power beyond magic.
 * Dick: "Ugh, so we're f****d then?!"
 * Teranodon: "I am not suggesting that, Richard. I am saying that fate has decided to let them escape for a reason. I have come to understand that the Purple Alicorn is a sort've, stand-in parental figure to Denter's brood. Likely, she will seek him out. So, why not turn this, blessing-in-disguised, minor mishap, as a chance to get that baby dragon Spike?"
 * Velocius: ".... Of course, Prime, I do see where you are coming from, but wouldn't that be risky to let another powerful set of opponents join that resistence?"
 * Teranodon: "That's where YOU come in, you paranoid proto-avian. You, the Major, and, (Looks at the trio).... Those three, shall get to work keeping an eye on their progress. Likely, they would aim to follow us into the cave of Saurusia after the escapees have a chance to collect their barrings. So, you five, are going to counter-follow them, right into where those rebellers are. Understood?"
 * Velocius: "Yes sir."
 * Teranodon: "Good girl. Now get busy. I'll have the nursemaids speed up the process of the contemporary disable orbs so our men don't have to wait for the blasted things to go off on their own. Also, I'll open up some interrogations on those close to the escaped captives, so we would know what to expect here. You, Velocius, see to it that your mess is cleaned up properly. And REMEMBER WHAT I SAID! No, obscuring anything, even if it's not exactly the best news ever. The Emperor has no patience for incompetence. Consider this your one and only warning, AND your last chance. One more step out of line, and you're finished."
 * Teranodon left as Velocius sighed.....
 * Velocius: "..... (Quietly) We are not done yet, Alicorn. You will pay for making me look incompetent!"
 * Queen Novo: "Oh my goodness, please tell me this is just some kind of dark land humor here! The Scale Collectors are real, but worse, and have attacked Equestria!"
 * Silverstream: "I know it's not the best news ever, Aunt Novo, but it's ture."
 * Seaspray: "That is terrorable news! Those Scale Collecters would eventually turn their sights to Mount Aris! We need to evacuate to Seaquestria and declare another emergency hide!"
 * Silverstream: "Hiding?! Again?!"
 * Sky Beak: "Silverstream, this situation has the potaintional to turn into another Storm King problem! And with magic too weak at the moment, we, we can't risk ending up like the Ponies and even the dragons. Caution has to be taken. (Loads of bubbles were seen in the water after glowing flashes appeared as so many hippogriffs surfaced gasping for air and seaponies came to the surface carrying drowned hippogriffs) What? No, nonono, not now!"
 * Skystar: (Surfaced with a heavy gasp for air)... MOM!! THE FRITZ IS AFFECTING US!!! (Coughs)
 * Novo: Nononono!!! (Seaponies were carrying drowned hippogriffs and giving them CPR) This can't be happening! Not now!!
 * ???: Well well well. Looks like the birds have lost their birdbath. (Tiamat appeared with Teranodon)
 * Tiamat Firehead: No more hiding this time, your highness. Time to be REAL hippogriffs.
 * Teranodon: We cannot allow anymore aid against our conquest. (He saps all the hippogriffs' magic)
 * Novo: NO, NOOOO, NOOOOOO!!!!
 * Tiamat Earthhead: Yes, yees, YEEEEEEES! (All hippogriffs were sapped)
 * Teranodon:... Tiamat? You know what to do. (Tiamat started destroying Mount Aris and taking everyone prisoner as Silverstream managed to escape!)
 * Gallus: (They were watching a supercomputer)... Awwwww, FRICK! This is REALLY getting sucky!
 * Shifu: Griffinstone. The Changeling Lands. Dragonia. Centauria. Seaquestria. Hippogriffinstone. Every single land has been siphoned of magic, destroyed, and subjugated.
 * Twilight: ERRRRRGH!!! How could this happen?!
 * Kowalski: It happens immediately after each land loses it's magic. They attack them and drain what magic they have left before destroying their kingdom and conquering them. A cunning strategy.
 * Fluttershy: What're we going to do?
 * Silversrtream made it back to them exhausted....
 * Silverstream: ".... I'm afraid to say that the Hippogriffs are no position to even help themselves, much less help us."
 * Yona: "Don't worry guys, there's always the Yaks to rely on when things get-"
 * Yakbrain was heard shrillfully screaming as the supercomputer showed Deino Troopers in a heat-producing wear to keep warm in the cold mountain even with the fire on the Yak village as they were attacking Yakyakastan.....
 * Yona: ".... Ohhhhh, kaaaaay, nevermind then."
 * Rainbow Dash: "WHAT A FREAKING DISHASTOR?! The world of Equestria's being taken over by Saurans!"
 * Kowalski: Saurians.
 * Rainbow Dash: Ugh, I was only a letter off!
 * Gilda: "Ugh. (Sees Griffinstone being wrecked) Never thought I'd see the day Griffinstone becomes a LITTERAL dumpster fire.... Nor that it could become even more wasted then already."
 * Pinkie: "I know, and you guys were finally getting to rebuild it too!"
 * Lord Shen: ".... You know, we were just about to finally investigate the White Orb in Marco's Earth's palce, but given the HA reported that they'll be attending to a bit of personal business with getting an exbert about a controevrseal allience, the White Orb can afford to be put on hold again! This mess is too grim to put off even for the Fritz mystery. This Techno-Prehistoric Uprising must cease!"
 * Gazelle: "Ay ay ay, what a thing to come back to after I just finished up helping out fixing up Herbavoris."
 * Lord Shen: "Now, short of any other options, our next best choice has to be seeking out Young Spike and his supposed father and the fat excuse for a dragon Sludge! They have much to answer for their failure to explain themselves properly and for cowerdly taking away a supposed choosen one against these people!"
 * Rarity: "Fair's fair, I'm sure they've meant to keep Spike safe from these people."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Also, given that Sludge lied about being Spike's dad, it couldn't be helped that we would take things about what he said about the Scale Collectors with a grain of salt."
 * Lord Shen: "Well fact of the matter is, they need to answer for failure to PROPERLY warn this world of this appearent Black Emperor thing! This problem would've been LONG avoided if Sludge was honest about his intentions from the get-go!"
 * Ocellus: "Maybe they felt that the Black Emperor was too dangerious for us?"
 * Icky: "Tch, unless the dude's a freaking outer god, I doubt a subterrian evil emperor is THAT much trouble."
 * ???: "That much, I'm afraid, is what we were sent to investigate."
 * Nemo and his team showed up.
 * Spongebob: "Commodore Nemo! Long time no see, man! What'd you been up to ever since Drainthus?"
 * Nemo: "Well, let's just say, our group earned the interest of, "Special" people. Team Nemo are now their designated exberts in dealing with rogue Erasers like Drainthus. Some worse then others. Sometimes Erasers have not shared Drainthus' carefulness and defected badly enough that the rules can't protect them, thus, they're fair game to our interfearence. Ones that do, well, we at the least train those to be able to handle it themselves so they can quell the Eraser Issue."
 * Gallus: "Hey wait a f*****g minute, what's going on here-"
 * Sandy: "But what brings you guys here? There ain't no Chuthulu Wanna-Be going around here! It's just abounch of hyper-advanced Dinosaurs causing trouble for some jerk being called the Black Emperor."
 * Boris: "Well, I'nm afraid we have to be barers of bad news and saw-"
 * Gallus: "HEY?! WHAT THE F***'S GOING ON HERE?! WHO ARE THESE GUYS?!"
 * Mr. Krabs: "Well, long story short..."
 * Mr. Krabs: "And that be all she wrote."
 * Gaster: "..... AWWW NO, NOT MORE LOVECRAFTIAN BROHAHA?!"
 * Cleanser: "I take it you are still reeling at your time as an Avatar of, them, from so long ago, Young Gaster?"
 * Gaster: "(Confused)..... How the f*** you guys know that?!"
 * Armarillo: "Let's just say, our new speical friends are, well versed with what goes on in this crazy multiverse."
 * Brad: "That said kid, (Grabs Gaster angerly) YOU WERE F*****G LUCKY BOOKSMITH DESIDED TO FORGIVE YOU SLIGHTLY FOR BEING UNDER XZAR ENFLUENCE, YOU STUPID S***?! THE OUTERS WOULD'VE DESTROYED YOUR ASS FOR SCREWING UP THREE F*****G DIMENTIONS OTHERWISE?!"
 * Gaster: "Acck, dude, chill, I wasn't myself! That freaky mist s*** messed with my stressed out mind!"
 * Nemo: "Bradly, calm down, it's not relivent to why we're here."
 * Brad did so as he sighed.
 * Icky: "Wait, you guys are exberts in hunting for Chuthulu Rip-offs, right? Then..... AWWWW NO, YA MEAN THE BLACK EMPEROR'S ONE TOO?!"
 * Cleanser: "Well, yes and no. As once explained, Erasers can drasticly change themselves to suit the evioment of the world. Some small, others radical. But the Black Emperor, is among the rare selection that changed so radically, that they tecnecally in a debatable sense, no longer count as an Outer God, or even a True Eraser. This rarity exists for two worlds: The Passived Lovecraftian Race of Spookivainia, and the Black Emperor, an endling Obsidian Dragon."
 * Smolder: "(Surprised shocked face)..... Ob, ob, Obsidian Dragon?!"
 * Professor Spoonful: "OBSIDIAN DRAGON?! But they are extinct, all destroyed by the Panans!"
 * Cleanser: "One survived. And it's the Black Emperor."
 * Icky: "AWWWWWWWWWWW, F*************K?! DOES IT MEAN WE CAN'T HELP EQUESTRIA NO MORE CAUSE OF THOSE STUPID COSMIC RULES?!"
 * Brad: "Relax, the Obsidian Dragons long badly defected from the rules and tried to steal the world from it's gods very long ago. As such, they're not protected by the rules. B.E.'s fair game to justice of a non-native scale."
 * Icky: ".... Aw thank god, I thought we were gonna be subugated to needless cosmic BS!"
 * Nemo: "That said though, it's not neither of our destenies to defeat him."
 * Icky: "CRAAAAAAAAAAAP?!"
 * Gazelle: "Not even me?"
 * Cleanser: "Not even the Uniter Blade is meant to defeat the Black Emperor."
 * Icky/Gallus: "CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP?!"
 * Po: "Then who is?!"
 * Brad: "Well duh! There's this soothsayer in the underground's resistence that said the baby dragon has to do it!"
 * Icky/Gallus/Smolder/Clyde: "CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP?!"
 * Steila: "Struth, Mates, that doesn't sound like you have much faith in him."
 * Rarity: "IT'S NOT THAT, IT'S JUST..... HOW IS SPIKE SUPPOSE TO KNOW HE WAS DESTINED TO DEFEAT WHAT IS BASICLY A COSMIC EQUILENT TO A FALLEN GOD?! YA DON'T TYPICALLY LOOK AT A CUTE AND INNOSENT LITTLE BABY DRAGON AND SAY "YUP?! THAT LITTLE GUY'S GONNA DEFEAT A COSMIC MONSTER SOMEDAY"?!"
 * Cleanser: "Well, one would argue that you wouldn't think he would save a lost civilisation from a shadowy tyrant, OR introduse the idea that a reputation tainted race can be redeemed."
 * Twilight: "Well yeah but, what hope does Spike have to-"
 * Nemo: "I trust you are familier with what the Pteranodon had said."
 * Applejack: "He said something about Denter having a union with a Purple Dragon."
 * Spyro: "I never thought there'd be another Purple Dragon here other then Lavulite."
 * Twilight: "I also heard that her name was "Spindle"."
 * Rainbow Dash: "Wait, does that mean that Spike is...... HALF LIKE SPYRO?!"
 * Cleanser: "Well yes. Granted, he is abit more Equestrian Dragon, his Dragon Realmian Heritage being a small percentage, but, it is there if it can be activated."
 * Spyro: ".... (Laughs in disbelief), No wonder the little guy had once told me I was his faverite Lodger!"
 * Rarity: "And it certainly explains his growing bravery in, so many ways!"
 * Pinkie: "Ya learn something new about the little guy everyday!"
 * Lord Shen: "However, I'm afraid it well justifives why the Black Emperor's afraid of Spike! He knows EXACTLY what he's capable of!"
 * Nemo: "Not exactly afraid. The Black Emperor Clastite just knows to not underestimate such power. Purple Dragons are incapable of understanding fear of even the Cosmic forces. Erasers have little ability to use their tricks on them."
 * Icky: "Wait, but what about when Spyro used to have Gutt-Rip-Off-Phobia?"
 * Cleanser: "Spyro never had the chance to utilise this trait properly."
 * Spyro: "(Quietly) Something I'll HAVE to work on then."
 * Cleanser: "The reason Denter and Sludge have taken him, is because they need to show him to someone who can activate the trait, the soothsayer who predicted the Black Emperor's fall. If that trait is active in Spike, then there will be little for the Black Emperor to do other then defending himself physically. No Eraser Trick can save him."
 * Twilight: ".... I still want to be there for Spike. I know Spike is appearently a chosen one of sorts, but, he's still practically so young. He likely has no idea what's even going on!"
 * Lord Shen: "AND I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THOSE TWO ANSWER FOR THEIR-"
 * Cleanser: "And you will be granted such ability, Princess Sparkle, to see Spike. But, you must remember that the name "Baby Dragon" is now misleading. He's growing up faster then you may wish to believe. Desteny always finds a way even in an attempt to avoid it."
 * Batty: Also he's technically supposed to have gone above puberty at this point.
 * Lord Shen: "Very well. Then we are to follow that giant mech to where it is-"
 * Boris: "No need. Coordinates say Mech is heading towrods an isolated giant sinkhole cave complex in uncharted area in land called "Aybissia"."
 * Nemo: I think you mean Abyssinia.
 * Boris: "Sorry, it was a word that requried refined tongue. Point is, dinosaur mech is heading there."
 * Pinkie: "... That could explain the Anthro Dinos."
 * Rarity: Oy! Capper wasn't a good introduction to those guys.
 * Nemo: "Now, let's us all set off."
 * Spongebob: "(As the Group Started moving) By the way, how's Swimmings?"
 * Nemo: "He's, still in poor shape. He's now a Half-Craft. A hybrid leftover of a fallen Eraser that exists to bring an Eraser back from the Hybernation Realm in a time of when the world is no longer as great as the time of defeat. He's, not thrilled of the arrangement. They are treating him to the best of their abilities."
 * Icky: "Let me guess, your "New Friends"?"
 * Nemo: "Oh, you'll get to meet them someday, but right now, to the matters at hand. Now, tell us everything you learned about this situation."
 * The group were distently monitored by Velocius and her possie....
 * Dick Slick: "AWWW NUTS, MORE ALIENS?!"
 * Profoundus: "Ohhh, so many reshurch oppertunities."
 * Chatter: "Ya know Pro, there's more to life then reshurch."
 * Velocius: "Silence! We stick to the plan..... We'll keep as close to them as much as possable, but still keep our distence..... And we'll be prepared, for anything....."
 * An isolated and deafly silent forest was seen as Sludge and Denter were seen in a make-shift campsite.
 * Spike was angerly pouting as he was tied to a log by the leg.
 * Sludge: ".... Ya know, Denter, and this is coming from someone who had doubts about Ponies too, but.... Maybe you were too harsh about saying this place wasn't worth the trouble, not that, I'm forgetting the mission."
 * Denter: "(Sighs).... You know as well as I that I don't mean anything by that, it's just..... I've only meant try and keep him from facing Clastite's slaves too soon. Not without training. Spindle's sacrifice would've been for nought otherwise, and she'll be stuck as a collector's item for that beast like so many others! I was only straightening his priorities."
 * Sludge: "And I get that, it's just..... Ya kinda made yourself sound no less better then me."
 * Denter: "(Sighs)..... This is not the reunion with my son I wanted..... Spindle was better at making first impressions."
 * Sludge: "Hey, still better then how likely the Scale Collectors likely introdused themselves."
 * Denter: "Sludge, I know you have issues with interest in serious situations, but this is serious-"
 * Bushes were heard rustling!
 * Denter and Sludge entered combative stances!
 * It was only Thorax and Pharynx, albeit the two look exhausted.....
 * Thorax: "Sorry we were late! We told the Lougers they need to worry about saving Twilight and friends and went to do that!"
 * Pharynx: "Then we tried to get the Hive in on this, BUT THEN THE FREAKY DACTYL ATTACKED IT?!"
 * Thorax: "We were forced to save ourselves since we were too weak on magic to help."
 * Denter: "(Sighs), I see..... Well, given you're pretty much the only friends of my son that didn't crazily assulted me thanks to Sludge being, Sludge, I suppose you would like to come with us?"
 * Pharynx: "Not like we can go back to a hive being wrecked by saurans."
 * Denter: Saurians.
 * Pharynx: Whatever, I tecnecally said it right but was only a letter off.
 * Sludge: "Just be sure to keep up and expect a long trip."
 * Denter: "You two are welcome to help yourselves to sit where your like.... Just, be mindful of it being near my son.... Likely, he's still scorned with you two."
 * Pharynx: "Yeah, I don't blame him. Probuly not the best thank you for the fact he really helped out our race by asking Shining Armor and Candence to show leniantcy on my brother."
 * Denter: Now, let's discuss this. My son is obviously not in the mood to speak to me.
 * Sludge: No, freaking, kidding. The kid kicked you in the stones! I'm actually surprised he doesn't know your his real father by just looking at your similarities.
 * Denter: Looks aren't always everything, Sludge. It'll take more than hereditary traits to convince him I'm not lying.
 * Sludge: Even so, he still won't believe you even after those dinos came at his home with a Brachio-Tank and a five-headed dragon! Kid's more grudgemental then a Dragon Chaser Larva now! Brat has a REAL grudge on you!
 * Denter: Sludge, even if you're right, don't insult him. He's been through a lot. (Sighs) At least Spindle made sure he turned out better than the common dragon. If you hadn't used him to take a break, he would've been on our side by now.
 * Sludge: "In my defence, life in Saursia was HELL!"
 * Denter: "I don't disagree, but that's no excuse. Like you said, in YOUR defense. You're not exactly good at defending yourself. You didn't have to bring such desperation to the surface!"
 * Sludge: "Hey, I was trying to subtily ease the kid to understanding that he was meant to beat up the ass of a giant nightmariish three-eyed dragon monster with a bad dental plan by getting him to trust me first! Okay sure, it backfired, but it was mostly because that Orange Dragon Kid interfeared! After that one day if things went perfectly, I would've brought the kid to Saurusia! Then I would've admited the embarrising truth and explain everything to him. I mean, it would've been worse if I went up to him and say "Hey Kid, guess what? You're actselly from an underground Saurusian land where you are prophesized to kick the ass of a giant monster, and I'm taking you there to meet your dad! Sorry about your mom, she's too busy being an obsidian statue because that same monster turned her that way as punishment for saving your ass from him! Pack your things and let's go"! Cause then the Ponies either would've held him back or want in! Espeically the second thing, cause like I said when I recovered from those stings, those ponies managed to kick Storm Turd's ass! And you know well what THAT guy did to your other friend."
 * Denter: "And I get that, I do! I get you didn't wanted to drag the ponies into it to keep them safe from the Black Emperor."
 * Sludge: "Ehhhh, more like keeping them out of our business. The Black Emperor's our problem, and it seemed practical to keep it that."
 * Denter: "Clearly, Clastite disagreed with that statement. Now he's the entire planet's problem!"
 * Sludge: "..... (Sighs).... Look, I may be an asshole about it, but I do care about the situation. It's just.... I'm doing it as a dragon. We're typically assholes by nature, you know this."
 * Denter: "..... I know Sludge. Shows how much Spindle had an influence on me. I began behaving more like a Dragon Realmian than an Equestrian."
 * Sludge: ".... Look, just, give the kid a chance to cool his heels about this crap situation and let him think about things. He can actselly be a smart kid when he figures it out. If it helps..... Those ponies were better on him then ya might be thinking at the moment. When I tried to do a badass entry and ended up being, ehhhh, roughed up, even when I was assentually trying to say "F*** OFF", assentually, mind ya, he still insisted on taking me inside that castle. He and those ponies nursed me back to health. They know I wasn't actselly gonna give much back to them, and I didn't exactly acted nice about the offer, but, they still did so anyway."
 * Denter: "..... I guess, that was what Spindle saw in them. Those Tulpas really did wonders on her perspective on ponies. Maybe that initional interaction was, just a stupid misunderstanding, and the arrival of the Collectors didn't helped."
 * Sludge: "Oh yeah, those assholes made things worse. Look, ya still did good getting the kid out of there."
 * Denter: "We all know that..... I just hope, Spike understands that."
 * The four didn't realise that Spike, being a rough distence, did actselly overheard their conversation, and now is in the process of soul searching.....
 * Spike:... ("You know... They may be right. What if this IS my father? After everything? Maybe, I should try to get to know Denter more.")

Chapter 3: Welcome to Saurusia/Spike's Family/Heroes Meet Quite a Cast of New Friends
Abyssinia Panthera French Narrator: One Painful Explanation Later...
 * Fluttershy: (Squeals in joy to see the anthropomorphic animal inhabitants)
 * Icky: "Shy, we know animals are yer thing, but calm down! You're gonna make a needless scene."
 * Applejack: Well we all know that a magic watering hole brought these guys to life, but these guys still feel hesitant 'round outside races. So, we really DON'T wanna draw attention to ourselves.
 * Alex: We're invisible!
 * Pinkie: No we aren't, silly.
 * Alex:... Is figurative language a dead language to dummies now?
 * Lord Shen: "Well, let us focus on getting answers about our saurian friends."
 * Buzzord: "Worry not good people, you are before a master of conversation. (Approuches two lizards) Excuse me, good reptiles, but, have you by chance seen a giant mecincised sauropod going by here?"
 * Lizard 1: "...... The f***?"
 * Professor Spoonful: "...... If figurative language had departed, so did the sense of tact."
 * Lizard 2: Let's get out of here. These guys are wackos. (Left)
 * Rainbow Dash: Smooth. REAL smooth.
 * Buzzord: Oh, shut up, EGGHEAD!
 * Rainbow Dash: Hey, nobody calls me that except my friends and students.
 * Tigress: Let's focus. This place's inhabitants are at least permanently sentient, or the Fritz would just regress them back to normal animals.
 * Patrick: If that's the case, why haven't those dinos targeted this place?
 * Icky: "Well either they're saving these people best for last after the magic-capable potaintional problems are out of the way, or they're lucky they don't have anything of interest YET. Those prehistoric nightmares do say they want to snag whatever trace of magic they can get, so clearly they want to go after the folks that have oodles of the stuff before they start small."
 * Rarity: "Makes sense."
 * Lord Shen: "Well, if we're going to ask these people anything, we need to be more, subtile in the approuch. Like, asking them if they are familier with this, "Saurusia"."
 * Professor Spoonful: "I'll ask this time! (To a snake trader selling pots) Excuse me, but, are you by chance familier with the name, "Saurusia"?"
 * Snake Trader: "You mean the legend of Saurusia? Oh that's mostly an ancient Abyssinian myth that relates to the claim that the Magic Watering Hole actually came from an underground prehistoric realm as an extension to what is called Mana Oceanic, a great giant saltless sea that rests with a series of subterranean continents that allows sunstones to behave like the actual sun, introduce a subterranean sky and atmosphere, and in some legends, is said to be the watery womb of all life on this world as all things had evolved from primordial creatures from it."
 * Pinkie: "..... Wooooooooow. Do the Alicorns know about it?"
 * Snake Trader: "Know about it? Legends say they got it there to begin with. There's talk that the Alicorns asked the Guardian of the Magic Realm itself permission to pour some of what became the Mana Oceanic into this world so life as is, is possible."
 * Lougers: "(Nerviously) Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."
 * Snake Trader: "..... What?"
 * Twilight: "(Nerviously laughs) Ignore that. Thank you for helping us, sir."
 * The Group left as the Snake Trader looked on concerningly.....
 * Icky: "...... Holy s***, that makes our knowledge of the freaking Fritz worse."
 * Po: "What I don't get is that, if that ocean came from the Magic Realms, then why is magic in Equestria as Fritzy as the other worlds?"
 * Shifu: "Potentially, it is either not strong enough to keep Equestrian Magic steady.... Or the Black Emperor compromised it."
 * Applejack: "Well I'm worried that given these saurians are starting to give us trouble, I'm afraid to say it's a safe bet something ain't quite right with the Mana Oceanic."
 * ???: "Ahem!"
 * Two big dog and wolf guards came forth....
 * Dog Guard: "..... A Pot Trader reported that you asked a very spefific question about the legend of Saurusia and asked nervously about a certain tibit of the legend."
 * Wolf Guard: "That suggests something you know that we don't!"
 * Dog Guard: "We're taking you to see the queen to answer some questions."
 * Starlight: "(The Group got nervious) Uh, I think we can hear our landuary calling, BYEEEEE?!"
 * The Group zoomed off!
 * Wolf Guard: ".... Three, two, 1."
 * Suddenly, ninja frogs and salamanders appeared!
 * Rainbow Dash: "Ninja frogs?! Seriously?!"
 * Pinkie: "And Ninja Salamanders, don't forget that-"
 * The Ninja Anfibians pounced on the group and beat the snot out of them!
 * Fluttershy: "THIS IS ADORABLE YET PAINFUL AT THE SAME TIME?!"
 * The Queen of Abyssinia, who was the same as she was in the MLP Movie comics, was seen sitting on her throwne alongside a council of various cat breeds as the Group were brought before them.
 * Queen of Abyssinia: "I would like to make clear it is otherwise an honor to meet the ponies that defeated the Storm King. (To herself) Thankfully since he didn't use the Misfortune Malachite. (Openly) Kinda wish it's at a, less awkword moment. My guards reported that you are asking about the legend of Saurusia and acted unusual about a certain point. Is there, a concern you possess?"
 * Shifu: ".... Perhaps it is best you and your council are seated down, your majusty, because this is a, long story."
 * Professor Spoonful: "And we won't blame you for, having doubts on, it's believablity."
 * Queen of Abyssinia: "..... I once believed the Storm King couldn't be stopped until that fateful day. So, my suspendsion of disbelief isn't all that great. So try me."
 * Queen of Abyssinia: So... This 'Fritz' that seems to be affecting not just our dimension... Quite explain why the Mana Watering Hole has dried up.
 * Barktrot: Should be the reason. The Lodgers here were soon to look into the problem, but right now, we have reason to believe that the legend of Saurusia is real.
 * Pinkie: This CRAAAAAAAZY Brachiosaurus tank came in and barfed up these raptor soldiers and a wing-robed pterydactyl that stole the magic we had left. THEN destroyed Canterlot with this five-headed dragon, and took everypony prisoner.
 * Twilight: And they seem to be working for this... Obsidian Dragon named Clastite, which everyone calls the Black Emperor.
 * Queen of Abyssinia: Wait... An Obsidian Dragon? B-But I thought the Panans wiped them out eons ago.
 * Tigress: Apparently not. There's one more left.
 * Twilight: And he wants my baby dragon assistant Spike because apparently he's destined to defeat him.
 * Queen of Abyssinia:... I think I may have had a little too much wine.
 * Lord Shen: And yet you say you are no longer so doubtful of things. It's the truth. And the Black Emperor has already taken over almost every land on this world and sapped them dry of it's remaining magic.
 * Queen of Abyssinia: Which means they may be saving us for last.
 * Cat Counciler 1: "Oh shit. There's goes our land's ecominity.... Again."
 * Cat Counciler 2: "Our ecominitiy's the least concern now, saurians under the control of an Obsidian Dragon are rampaging the world and we could be next if procautions aren't taken!"
 * Cat Counciler 3: "Evacuations are still possable, we're rev-up many Airships as possable and escape to Hidden City!"
 * Icky: "Hey cool your yarn balls, they likely caught too many folks for even that giant Long-Necktron to carry and would go back to their place to refresh on stuff."
 * Cat Counciler 4: "Well, if my knowledge of that legend is pinpoint accreate, your best chance to find Saurusia is through the Great Form Mountain, a mountain said to have remained unchanged since the planet was first created. It's crawling with many cave complexes and pits said to lead right into it. Perhaps that could be where they would retreat back to take a break."
 * Cat Counciler 5: "Well even so, I would still advise we take caution against any surprises and prepare emergeny exiduses to the Hidden City."

(Later)
 * The Brachio Mech was seen heading torwords a cave complex as the hidden heroes watch from a cliff-face.

Epilogue
Land of Scale Collectors The End, Question Mark?
 * ???:... The Black Emperor is no more.... At last. I could no longer tolerate the slavery that reminant of the Obsidian Dragons put me through, even more when that nasty lout Storm King threw me down here mistaking that hole for a bottomless pit after chaining me up after he forced me to make him a staff..... Just glad to have my own staff back from that poor deluded victim who defelupted Stockholm Syndrone for the Black Emperor. I'm glad he'll be given a chance for recovery under the rightful queen's care, and that Saursia has a chance to heal as well. (Peaks up Terano's staff).... Though it's obvious it'll have to be cleanse of corruption from the insanity the poor deluded prehistoric bird left on it..... (Sighs), Obsidian Weaponry is strenuous to weld and weaponsmith.... So now it will soon be time to put an end to the Storm Clan...... (Reveals himself as a familiar gargoyle)... And it starts by meeting this Spike person. The son...... Of my friend.
