What the Future Brings

After using his Sonic Screwdriver to stun the dragon, the Doctor then went up to the cage and said "Twilight and younger Spike? May I ask what has happened since I last been here?!"

"We were sent to the future" Twilight explained "and from my calculations Derpy shouldn't your daughters be older?"

"Travelling around time and space means we can leave and if days later we go back years could have ended" Derpy responded shrugging, all her time with the Doctor made her used to the ideas of time travel.

"I will let you out in a jiffy" the Doctor said as he used his Sonic Screwdriver to open up the cage they were in.

"What do you want us to do dad?" asked Sparkler to the Doctor, she was quite young when her father died (Dinky herself was about a few months old) and in time was able to accept the Doctor as her dad now (as with Dinky.)

"Just try to stay safe and help these ponies get to safety" the Doctor said and she complied along with her sister and mother. The Doctor then went back to his TARDIS to get a weapon for fighting the dragons.

Dinky Pie, Pinkie, Applejack and Rarity were seen by the others as the Pies went running towards their friends while the earth pony and the unicorn were chasing them.

"Get a load of these you big bad dragons!" Dinky said his head pointing upwards. He then took out his Party Bazooka and Pinkie took out her Party Cannon. The ponies nearby went to the ground, closed their eyes and covered their ears as the party weapons were launched into the sky.

They also spotted Princess Celestia leading the Royal Army into Ponyville to deal with the dragons.

Spike Sparkle glared at his father as he faced him again, his body wanting nothing more than to roast him alive, but he was a dragon...he could not be harmed in such a matter.

"Why do you bother?" asked Shenron shaking his head.

"Why do I bother doing what?" asked Spike glaring as hard as he could.

"Why do you bother insisting these weak, insignificant creatures are your friends and family?" asked Shenron "They are worthless creatures and are making us superior creatures step aside as they take it upon themselves to run the land..."

Spike decided he could tolerate the anti-pony comments from his birth family no longer and then angrily launched himself at Shenron taking him down and hoping that nopony would be hurt in the crossfire.

Spike then used most of his strength to pull at his father's arm. Apparently he truly didn't know his own strength as he managed to rip his arm right off its socket.

Gasping he got off as Shenron got up again. Although he could see he was indeed in pain Shenron didn't seem at all concerned about his lost limb.

Then out of the hole where his arm used to be came dark green flames which assembled themselves into a new arm.

"I still got a few tricks up my sleeves! You really though that a small, not even two hundred year old dragon could kill one that was more than nine hundred years older than yourself!" Shenron laughed as Spike glared at him, his eyes widen in shock and rage watching the bloody stump form into a fully grown healed limb.

Looking up in the air Shenron spotted Firefly and Rainbow Dash helping the Pegasuses. He used the green flames from his snout to send a spell at Firefly.

Sparkfang spotted this and gasped, flying up in the air he was able to use his body to block the spell but got sent to the crowd unconscious.

The Mane Six on the ground along with Dinky Pie, Dash and Firefly who flew back down gasped as they looked at him, Shenron did have the decently to look regretful but only because he wanted to hit one of the meddling Pegasuses.

Princess Celestia (not even trying to stop her face from showing her worry) checked him over and said "He is fine, but he will need rest."

Firefly then lifted up Sparkfang and took him back to the library. Spike Sparkle (if possible) was now looking at his father even more angered than ever before. He had almost ended up losing his only son, his only child from his beautiful, intelligent and heartwarming unicorn wife.

"LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE!" Spike then snarled green flames coming out of his snout.

"Maybe he will learn now that no good comes to helping these creatures" said Shenron shaking his head, his eyes narrowed at his own child, green flames coming from his own maw.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU-"

"You are going to believe this even less my boy," Shenron smiled darkly before he used his trump card to infuriate his son enough to kill him and take the throne "that mare that you have married, that has raised you before she fell in love with you and wanted more than just a sibling relationship, who loved you more than life itself-her death was no accident!"

"What are you talking about, you old bag of scales? Speak your words WISELY about my wife before I tear out your heart with my own two CLAWS" asked Spike, flames coming from his nose and mouth as his heart only grew much darker for his own father, who was no father to him at all.

"The disease she contacted was caused by a special, uncure able potion I had managed to create and brew myself," Shenron said smirking "I had one of my servants sneak it into a glass of cider she was drinking in a party you were having, at the time you all were all outside before having your little dinner while her body begin to lose the battle with the disease...now you know what I am willing to do for the sake of OUR kind Spike...now you know the true reason of why you lost your only love...and that is why you must join me in ruling our kingdom together"

The ponies on the ground gasped in shock, the Mane Six looked like they wanted to kill the cruel dragon who will pretty much murder their leader, their best dragon friend...their only hope.

Spike honestly couldn't think his opinion of his father could not sink any lower but he was proven wrong...by the beast's own deceiving and heartless tongue.

Princess Celestia was just as furious as Spike Sparkle was right now (which was no small feat), Shenron almost killed her godson and was responsible for the death of the best and most faithful pupil she would ever have. He would never get away with this. That she swore on her very own student's grave.
