What the Future Brings

"This sure isn't easy!" Applejack said while using her legs to kick the faces of the dragons that got close enough.

Both the Pies were still using their Party weapons against the dragons in the air and Spike Sparkle was trying to land a vicious right claw punch at Shenron only for it to miss.

"What are we going to do?" asked Twilight tiring herself, trying to use her magic to shield against the flame attacks from the dragons. She then felt a tap onto her left shoulder.

"What can I do?" asked a soft female voice. Twilight turned around and was now facing a fully grown unicorn mare with white fur, a golden star Cutie Mark surrounded by a circle of hearts, a pink mane and tail with long strips of blue.

Twilight could also see she had the eyes of her old foalsitter Cadance and had the feeling she saw her in one of the photo albums she looked at.

"Sorry but who are you?" ask Twilight earning a chuckle from Princess Celestia who had stopped glaring at Shenron to attack the dragons who threaten Ponyville.

"Twilight this is Dazzler the daughter of Shining Armor and Cadance, your niece!" said Princess Celestia smiling.

"Aunt Tia explained the situation to me, Aunt Twi," said Dazzler smiling "my mum wanted to come as well but she had too much to do and my husband is busy looking after our foals...hey where's Sparkfang?"

Twilight looked nervous and said "Well...he took a hit meant for Firefly and is now unconscious back home, I hope-"

Twilight did not have time to finish as with breakneck speed that would make even Rainbow Dash or Firefly jealous, Dazzler ran to the library as fast as she could.

Spike Sparkle was still having trouble landing a hard punch at Shenron but he was still determined to make the monster pay for taking his wife away from him, his rage uncontrollable to all.

"Is that the best you got?" Shenron taunted, making Spike roar as green flames shot forth from his mouth to his father who dodged with ease.

He then launched himself at Shenron who blocked with his wings and then used a spell to cast a mist of purple smoke to him, making Spike pass out.

Shenron smirked, the spell would mess with his mind perhaps making him angry enough o kill him and then take his place.

Spike found himself in an area full of white clouds. He saw to his shock was his wife Twilight Sparkle the adult was looking like she had sometime before she died.

"Twilight?" Spike asked, his voice caught in his throat as he looked upon his wife, wanting nothing more than to hold her in his arms

"Yes it's me, my knight in scaled armour." Twilight chuckled, a sad smile on her face, her eyes holding only passion for her true love "And no you're not dead, just in a dream state caused by your father's spell!" she added as Spike Sparkle growled hearing his father even being mentioned before he remembered that the very mare who held his heart was right before his eyes

Spike saw behind Twilight her parents who had both passed away in a fire accident but it were before their children died so they did not have to go through the burden of outliving their children.

He also saw a purple female dragon taller than him and would be at level of Shenron's shoulders she had large green eyes and a long but thin slender tail as her muzzle held a small, almost gentle smile.

"Um, Twilight who is that?" asked Spike looking at the strange dragon.

"Spike, she's Fiona," explained the vision Twilight "your mother!"

Spike looked shocked, looking at the dragon and can see similar hairs of green that Sparkfang had. She's his mother?

"My boy!" Fiona said hugging Spike who did not understand how this was possible but did not question fate.

"How come is it I never heard about you?" asked Spike as she let go.

"When the guards came to rescue the citizens I was left behind as I was laying you and it took all my strength and life for you to be born," said Fiona "the guards were nervous when they came up to me but with my dying breath I had begged them to take you and make sure you were kept after!"

Spike looked sad for the fact his own mother had died for him to live and then he realized she must have known one of her own children had killed her other ones.

"Sorry about my brothers-" Spike began only to be interrupted.

"I understand why it happened," said Fiona shaking her head "and when I got to them I made sure they leant their lesson!"

"I guess I will have to go back, won't I?" asked Spike realizing he needs to save Equestria and that Sparkfang still needed his father...Spike would never forgive himself if he left his only child, even though he wanted nothing more than to be with his wife once more.

"We will be waiting for you when your time comes, I promise you my love," Twilight whispered before she kissed his lips, making it so that they both felt as it did on their first kiss "and make sure Sparkfang knows both his mum and his grandma loves him very much!"

Spike then nodded and with remorse turned to look at his mother who said softly "And here is what you need to know to take care of your father."

Fiona knew this had to be done. She knew Shenron had once actually been a good dragon but due to him being corrupted by power and ambition, she in her final years wondered if this was the same dragon she had fallen in love with.

With a nod Spike looked at the only mare that could ever calm his rage for his enemies and smiled sadly as he held his claw into her hooves while she leaned her head into his chest.

"Spike, please...no matter what happens...don't let the demons take you." she whispered into his left ear and before he could inhale her scent one last time or even reply to say that he loved her, he was forced awake.

Dazzler as she entered the library saw Sparkfang gaining conscious lying in the bed as Firefly was hugging him as if her life depended on it before she jumped back and punched his right shoulder hard with her left hoof, turning her head to cover her blush.

Dazzler smiled even bigger than a member of the Pie family was capable of, it seemed her favourite cousin had finally found his special somepony or somedragon depending on what he would have gotten together with.

In the living world the Doctor came out of the TARDIS with a weird looking gun, it was sliver and had the barrel being really small and had six chambers.

"I'm not too fond of weapons but here we are" said the Doctor "I made this after the incident with Garble! It is designed to harm dragons but not to do anything against ponies and it is also effective against cyborgs like the Daleks and Cybermen for some reason!"

The other ponies did not know what he was talking about but apparently his wife and their daughters did. Then the Doctor began firing it into the air hitting some dragons causing them to crash.

He then aimed it at Shenron only for it to have no effect.

"You think that can truly harm me?" laughed Shenron only to pause as he sensed a threat near him.

Spike Sparkle had gotten up and with rage at what been done to him and with Princess Celestia's help was lifted high into the air as he screamed.

"Well this might!"

He then sent a powerful uppercut with his left claw at Shenron as soon as he looked below him and with a roar of anger, tore his claws deep into his father's wings and reducing them to little more than ribbons.

Spike smiled at his father's fallen form who roared flames at him and with a smirk, the adult dragon fell to the ground below, it was time for this to end.
