Chapter 29: Dragon Quest Part 2

Summary: Harry and Spike try to prove that they are worthy of being dragons.

Harry and Spike slid down the mountain lip and came upon the groupof dragon younglings whilo where now wrestling.

"Why don't we just grab 'em and go? I got a whoopin ta deliver." Came from a grotesque looking dragon with blue wings and an overly large mouth.

"Applejack this is our chance to study dragons upclose." Twilight said from the mouth. "You can punish Harry when we get back to Ponyville."

"We're never gonna pass for a real dragon." ,Rainbow Dash said, fluttering her wings irritably.

"Oh pish posh. This costume is one of my finest creations!" Rarity protested.

"And We'll never pass if they hear more than one voice coming from a single dragon." Twilight pointed out. "Now come on." They slid down the mountain lip after the foal and baby dragon.

"Uh, excuse us." Spike interrupted the match between a rather chubby brown dragon and a red, yellow bellied dragon. The two stared at the baby dragon and Alicorn. Hi, I'm Spike. And this is my friend Harry."

Harry smiled nervously. Not noticing a small incisor fang growing in his mouth.

"Sure your names are Spike and Harry and not Shrimp 1 and Shrimp 2?" Laughed a blue scaled dragon after the red dragon dropped the fat brown dragon.

Harry narrowed his eyes as the dragons laughed at them. Recalling various defense spells to mind in case things got ugly.

"Yo Garble, ain't that the foal the Elders told us to watch out for?" Asked an albino dragon named Frizzle.

"I think so. The Elders told us to report directly to them when he got here. But let's have a little fun with him."

"Totally." Frizzle agreed and they slapped tails together.

"Hey come on guys leave 'em might fly away." Garble said after Pudge said They looked more like peewees. "That is uh, if they had wings." Garble picked the two up by their tails. The teen dragons laughed as Garble dropped the two.

"Hey! Grandma says when I'm fully grown my wingspan will rival an adult dragons." Harry said indignantly as he and Spike got up.

"You ride on your mommy's back during the migration?" Pudge asked the two."

"Not exactly." Spike said looking at his paws.

"You probably had to ride on both your mom AND dad's back fatty." Harry snapped at the pudgey brown dragon.

The dragons laughed. "He got ya Pudge." A background dragon said. Pudge glared at Harry who glared right back.

"No way man, don'tcha see he just hatched? I bet he still sucks his claw at night." The blue scaled, yellow haired dragon grinned with Pudge over the two.

"And the pony sucks his hoof too I bet." Pudge added with a smirk.

"I haven't sucked my claw in six months." Spike protested.

The dragons looked to the "only pony" in miles.

"Two years." Harry said in a shamed tone.

The teen dragons laughed at the two again.

"Well if you just hatched, how come we haven't seen you around before?" Garble asked getting down to Spike's level.

"Well ya see I live in Ponyville and-" Harry slapped a hoof to Spike's muzzle to silence him.

"Dummy." Harry hissed.

"Ponyville?!" Garble asked whilw chuckling. "That explains it." He said to his fellow dragons. "I knew there was something vaugely ponyish about you. In fact," He got down on all fours, "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you where part pony." He backed Spike into a corner. "Ow!" Something bit his tail. He turned and saw the alicorn tugging at his tail. "What's the big idea?!"

"Ur ot utng y riend." Harry muffled arount the dragons tail.

Garble picked up Harry with his fangs buried in his tail. Fangs? Since when do ponies have fangs? Garble wondered. "You got guts little foal." Garble growled in Harry's face who gulped around the dragon's tail.

"N-no, I'm not part pony." Spike protested hoping to turn the older dragons attention to himself. "Rawr." He tried to roar and look fierce.

"Garble chuckled at the pathetic attempt. "Or maybe your just a pony on a dragon costume."

"Haha. A pony in a dragon costume." Spear laughed and put his arms around the neck of Rarity's costume.

"Yeah." Twilight laughed in a deep voice. "Hilarious."

"Come on sugarcube. This ain't worth it." Applejack whispered as she heard the conversation and laughter.

"And what are you doing here little pony?" He asked Harry whp gulped now that all the teen dragons attention was on him.

"I have dragonish instincts? Heh." Harry said nervously. "And I'm researching possible dragon origins of Alicorns."

"Instincts? Like what? You eat gems or something?" Garble laughed.

"I hoard sweets. And I snap at those who get close to them." Harry gave an example.

The other dragons laughed. But Garble looked thoughtful. That does sound dragon like. "Okay. You can stick around. But you gotta prove your dragon like." He turned to Spike."And you gotta prove your a real dragon.

"How?" Spike asked as he made his way to his alicorn friend.

"By acting like dragons." Garble told the two. "Whose up for a little belching contest?!" He shouted.

The other teens whooped and hollered. An adult perked its head up from its slumber to monitor the youths activities. Frizzle was up first. The albino belched and white fire spewed out of his muzzle at a decent length. The blue scaled dragon who Harry learned later was called Azule belched next. Azule's fire was bright green and traveled almost the same length. Pudge was third. True to his girth, He belched loudeest, biggest and longest. His fire was a basic red orange

Harry flinched thinking he was done for. "I'm alive?" He asked himself quietly as the other teen dragons cheered.

"Thonk you can beat that Peewees?" Garble elbowed both. "You first little pony." He ordered.

Harry nervously walked over to Pudge who glared and crossed his arms at Harry as he sat on his rump. Harry's horn glowed at he charged a fire spell. "Come on. Come ugh." He cringed a little, then belched loudly. Black and crimson flames coming from not his horn, but his muzzle." It went a decent length considering he was a pony. The teen dragons cheered for him and hollered. "Harry grinned sheepishly and trotted back over to Garble and Spike confidently.

"Not bad little pony." Garble said with approval as he blew fire farther than Azule but less than Frizzle. "You may got what it takes to be a dragon after all."

Harry smirked with pride.

Twilight's jaw had dropped when she saw Harry belch fire instead of releasing it through his horn. What the hay was going on here? Where those FANGS?!

"Applejack!" Twilight whispered. "Has Harry been acting different lately?"

"Well he's been hoardin' an awful lot of treats in his little crawl hole." Applejack recalled. "And he moved his bed over it."

"Hoarding behavior, protectiveness over hoard. Its almost...dragon like." She made a mental note to write a letter to the Princess about the foals strange behavior and transformations.

"Let's see what you got littlest dragon." Garble told Spike. Spike made his way over to Frizzle and made some weird faces before...belch! He belched and emerald flames came from his mouth. Along with a scroll with the Royal Seal.

"Huh?" The teens asked in confusion.

"Oh no." Harry put a hoof to his face. Why Grandma? Why?

"From the desk of Princess Celestia, Dear Spike," Garble read/skimmed through the letter. "Hey guys! Spike's penpals with a namby pamby pony Princess." The teen drafons laughed. "Ow! He was shocked by something. He turned back and saw the foal looking angry.

"I dare you to say that again!" Harry growled, fangs bared, black and crimson electricity chirping around his horn.

"Woah." Said Frizzle as the foal padded a hoof ready to charged. That's one angry foal.

"Okay okay. Sorry we made fun of your Princess." Garble said, crumbling the letter and tossing it into a lava pit to the outrage of Twilight.

"Maybe Tail Wrestling's more your speed."

"Uh, my tail's not exactly wrestling material." Harry pointed out and the dragons looked to his pony tail hanging limply off his backside.

"Guess you fail." Garble said simply with a smug look. Harry looked down. "Don't worry though, there's other ways you can prove yourself" Harry perked up as the tail wrestling began.

The first match was between a large purple dragon and a grayish green dragon who was smaller.

Tail wrestling, Harry found, was alot like hoof wrestling. Two dragons grabbed each others tails by their tails and pulled. Last one standing won.

"Ready?" Garble asked as he held onto the tails so there would be no cheating. "Go!" He let go and the match began.

Harry stomped a hoof and cheered on the purple dragon who was letting the smaller dragon have a couple of pulls before pulling hard and pulling the gray dragons feet from under him. After the belching contest Harry felt like one of the guys already! "Go Vex! Go Vex!" He cheered.

"The WINNER!" Garble held the tail of Vex who shook his paws together in a victorious way.

"Good old tail wrestling." Spike said to himself nervously.

Suddenly there came a voice "I challenge Spike to a tail wrestle."

Seeing the weird dragon made Garble skeptical. "Whose this weirdo?" He asked with Vex in a headlock.

"I think he's Crackles cousin." Spear told Garble.

"Bwaagh!" said a mentally challenged dragon who oddly looked almost exactly like Rarity's costume.

"Oh. That would explain it." Garble accepted the explanation. "Ready? Go!" Garble said after the ponies got their tail around Spike's. Spike grunting and groaning until...flop. The "Dragon" collapsed.

"Go Spike!" Harry knocked his hooves together to encourage hos friend as he got put down next to Harry.

"Nice goin' little Spike. Maybe you are a dragon after all." Garble said before flicking Spike's chin up.

"Yeah, maybe I am." Spike said eagerly. "Whose next" He demanded.

"I can't believe your silly little plan worked Rainbow Dash." Rarity said. Rainbow Dash kicked her. "Ow."

"Gettin' a little Cocky huh? I like that." Garble said. Then he put a claw to his chin. "So how about you wrestle...him!" Pointing to a wimpy looking gray dragon.

"Pfft, I could beat him. You got this Spike." Harry said to his dragon friend.

"Totally." Spike said cockily.

Then the dragons moved aside and the rest of him, WAS HUGE!

"Sweet grandma's flank..." Harry said in shock. "I stand corrected."

Needless to say, Spike was thrown to the wall. He went splat and slid down. The adult red dragon from earlier watching.

A short break later, Garble was carrying Spike up the hoard of gemstones.

"So what's the next contest?" Harry asked Spear eagerly.

"You'll see little dude. You'll see." Spear chuckled.

Harry watched Garble push Spike down the small mountain. "KING OF THE HOARD!"

Harry watched the other teens run up the mountain and try to throw Garble off. He saw Spear being thrown off and padded the ground. He dashed up the mountain. Halfway up he started flying.

Distracted by Vex, Garble didn't see the alicorn foal flying fast toward him. Harry hurled a front hoof into Garble.

"Oof." Garble groaned.

Harry spread his wings and twisted in mid air kicking Garble in the face twice like Rainbow Dash taught him before putting all four hooves on the mountain and using his earth pony strength to buck Garble down the mountain.

The other teen dragons gaped as they watched the foal beat their leader. Harry watched Garble Tumble down and grinned as Spike tripped down. He liked winning. His eyes where becoming slightly slitted.

"KING OF THE HOARD!" Harry shouted proudly and the dragons applauded and whistled.

"Looks like this is another fail for you Spike." Garble said as Harry trotted smugly down the mountain of gems. Normally Garble would feel ashamed that a pony bested him at something. But this was one tough little pony. Garble watched Harry get punched in congratulations by dragons who now had respect for him. Good naturedly. of course. Even Pudge conceded his respect for Harry by slapping his flank with his tail which sent Harry flying into Frizzle who helped the foal regain his balance. "Can't wait to watch you fail at lava cannonball too."

"Lava?" Harry asked timidly as the dragons made their way up a stairway carved into the mountainside to a high dive cliff over a pit of lava.

"Whoever makes the biggest lava splash is the Ultimate Dragon." Garble declared as Harry and the other dragons lined up side by side. Harry gulped as Garble jumped.

"Spike and Harry are on their own with this one." Twilight said as they backed up. They had to restrain Applejack who was trying to go stop Harry from jumping.

"NOOOooooo!" Applejack cried in terror as she saw Harry dive after Spike had belly flopped. Her life with him flashed before her eyes. From when she found him when she was 17, to his first steps, his fifth birthday, his first day of school, all their adventures till now. What have I done?! She thought in terror. My baby's gone!

"What's wrong Harry? Afraid the lava'll hurt your soft pony hide?" Garble called up.

"I'm not scared!" Harry called down. "Just petrified."Harry whispered as he got down on all four hooves. He gulped as he got up and moved backwards. He padded the ground, ran forward and jumped.

Splash! He splashed into the lava. Alive?! I can survive lava too?! Awesome! He opened his eyes. Through the lava he could see the dragons body's floating above him. He swam upward.

"Huh. Guess he was just a brave pony after all." Garble said sadly. He'd grown to kinda like that foal. "We shall remember." Garboe brought up a fist.

"We shall remember. The other dragons said sadly, bringing their fists up too.

"Gah!" Pudge said in panic. "Sumthin's got me! Help! Help!"

"What the?" Garble asked.

"Aah! Its on mah back!" Pudge panicked. "Huh?" Harry climbed onto Pudges head dangling his legs on his back and spat out a mouthful of lava.

"What'd I miss?" Harry asked to the gaping dragons. Pudge picked off Harry from his back and plopped him into the lava which splashed around him. "Mmmm it does feel like a warm mud bath." Harry said as he sank into it up to his chin.

"Are they...cheering?" Rarity asked.

"Probably celebrating Harry's death." Apejack said wiping tears from her eyes as Rarity put a leg around her in a one armed hug

"No, Applejack look! He's alive! Harry's alive!"

Applejack looked through the mouth of the costume and saw Harry splashing lava at the teens as if it where a normal pool. Applejack fainted.

"Hehe. You learn something new everyday" Twilight said with a nervous laugh as Rarity tried to wake Harry's mother while Rainbow Dash held her up.

Later, Harry and Spike walked through an archway of six dragon tails. Garble awaited them. "Spike, for belly flopping so hard, you have proven yourself worthy. I hereby dub you, Rookie Dragon." He turned to Harry. "Harry, for surviving a lava pit without so much as a burn, I herby dub you, Rookie Dragon."He laued his tail across their shoulders as he ceremoniously knighted them. "I shall now perform the initiation ritual.

It was a noogie. Harry and Spike where dizzy after.

"Now lets party! DRAGON STYLE!" Gadble commanded.

The other dragons whooped and hollered and feasted on gems.

"Your not eating?" Pudge asked Harry who was happy just watching.

"Ponies don't eat minerals Pudge." Harry told the large dragon.

"Don't knock until you try it dude. Here. Try this. A simple Topaz." Spear shoved a yellow Topaz into Harry's face.

Harry suddenly smelled an intoxicating spicy aroma.

"Go on." Spear put it on Harry's hoof.

Harry licked the topaz on the edge. what a wonderful flavor! He opened his mouth, and...CRUNCH.

That was all it took for Harry to join his new friends party. When it was over, they lay on their backs full of gems. Harry had learned so much on this journey! His favorite gems where Emeralds, each one tasted like a different apple treat!

"Now that was a party." Harry said happily, rubbing his full belly.

"Greatest Party Ever." Spike agreed.

"Maybe by Ponyville standards. You guys stick with us. We still gotplenty tobyeach you guys about being dragons." Garble punched both in a big brotherish way.

"We're not going anywhere." Spike said. "The way I feel right now, I could hang out with you guys forever."

"Yeah." Harry agreed. His eyes now more dragonlike. "Forever."

The four mares gasped. "Forever?!"
