Dragon Developments

A celebration for pony-dragon relations is being held at Canterlot by Twilight Sparkle and sponsored, and firmfully encouraged to attend, by Ember. Though Spike stayed behind to care for Twilight's Castle, though 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.

(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 realising this too late. 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 possable."
 * 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 then 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)...."

 * 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 hammer-head 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 may 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 your 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 father. And your TRUEST will one!"
 * 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 SHIT AGAIN?! (She and the Students in front of Denter to block off 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 off the essience. The Scale Collectors finally found out Spike's location in the surface world, and he must-"
 * Gallus: "Oh nononononononono, Denty! Your not gonna pull Sludge's gag about the Scale Collectors again?!"
 * Denter looked at a sweating Sludge again and jestured "SERIOSULY?!"....
 * 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, YOUR A REAL PIECE OF WORK TO PLAY THE MOTHER CARD, BUDDY?! YOUR FRIEND ALREADY DID THAT TOO?!"
 * Sludge: "Ohhhhhh, shiiiiiiiiiit."
 * Denter: "...... ARE YOU KIDDING ME, SLUDGE?! DID YOU MESSED 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 possable?! It's a matter of saving a termoiled sub-terranian 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?!"

Epilogue Scene: Return of Scorpan
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 through 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.
