At Starswirl Academy one afternoon, Spike, Snips, and Snails were laying on the grassy hill close to the track and field area.

"Another day huh, guys?" Snips asked.

"Yup." Snails agreed.

"Uh-huh." Spike replied.

"Same old." Snips put in.

"Why can't anything exciting happen to us?" Snails complained.

Spike thought to himself, 'Trust me, you guys. You should consider yourselves lucky.'

"Spike?" came a voice.

Spike looked up and saw Fluttershy standing above him. But what Spike's eyes got a taste of was an up skirt panty shot. Spike quickly sat up before he underwent a nosebleed, "Fluttershy. Hey, what's up?"

"Well, Twilight asked me to come find you."

"Everyone at the club?" Spike asked.

"That's right. There's something Principal Celestia wanted to talk to us about."

"We'll let's go." Spike said, as he got up, only to hear his friends clear their throats. He saw the two looked annoyed at being ignored, so Spike spoke, "Oh, right. You haven't met, but this is Snips and Snails, my buddies."

"Oh, well. Nice to meet you two." Fluttershy greeted them with respect.

Snips and Snails were blushing, as Snips spoke, "Please, the pleasure is all ours."

"Definitely all ours." Snails added, as the two got close to Fluttershy who was getting nervous.

Spike seeing what they were doing came between them, "Well, we'd love to stay some more, but Fluttershy and I have to see the Principal about a thing. I'll catch you guys later." he grabbed Fluttershy's hand and dragged her off.

Snips and Snails watched with envy as the chubbier boy spoke, "Sometimes, I wish I could burn him at a stake."

When Spike and Fluttershy got far from them, they stopped, "That was close. Thanks, Spike."

"No problem. Sorry about that. My pals tend to be a bit... well you know."

"I get it," Fluttershy agreed before looking down and blushed, "Um, Spike?"

Spike was confused until he looked down and saw he was still holding onto Fluttershy's hand. He quickly let go while feeling sheepish, "Sorry about that."

"It's ok." she smiled.

"Well, come on. Better see what the principal wants." Spike said, as they continued on.

They arrived at the building and saw everyone was present, "Good to see the both of you made it." Celestia began.

"Now we can begin our meeting." Twilight added.

"So begin away." Spike said, as he took a seat on the couch.

Luna began, "In light of the recent events during my attack as Nightmare Moon, my sister and I have decided to call in an old... friend of ours to aid us in the fights that follow."

"Old friend?" Rainbow asked.

"Who is it?" Applejack inquired.

"He was supposed to be here ten minutes ago, but I suppose he decided to take his sweet time." Celestia sighed.

Spike after receiving a cup of tea from Rarity, spoke, "Well, guess we're just gonna have to continue to wait for him." he was about to take a sip until he heard a gurgling sound coming from it.

He looked into his tea and saw a face forming in it, "Please, don't drink me!"

Spike screamed, and threw his cup. The teacup froze in midair and suddenly transformed into a creature who was composed of several animal parts.

The girls were freaked by his suddenly appearance, while the two sisters stood by bearing neutral expressions. The creature laughed hysterically, "You should've seen the look on your face!"

Spike after catching his breath, spoke to Celestia and Luna, "What the hell is that?"

The creature hearing that suddenly look offended, "Excuse me? But I am a 'he' not a 'that'. If you don't mind."

Spike replied, "Sorry. Princess, who's he?"

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to Discord, the Master of Chaos." Celestia introduced him.

"Master of Chaos?" Rainbow asked.

"Correct you are, Rainbow Dash," Discord answered, as he walked over to her, "The Princess has told me so much about you all. Twilight Sparkle, her protege, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Applejack, and our new dragon hero Spike."

"Time out," Spike replied, "Master of Chaos. I'm lost here."

"Discord here represents chaos in all reality." Luna explained, "He also has the habits of a trickster."

"Trickster?" Spike asked.

Discord popped out from under the couch cushion, "That's right. There's always an incarnated trickster in all legends and myths. Loki of the Norse, Anansi of West Africa, Prometheus from Greek, even Klarion of D.C Nation." he joked.

Celestia spoke, "Luna and I have known Discord for over a thousand years, back when he was a little too free spirited with all his mischief making."

"Too free spirited?" Rarity wondered.

Luna answered, "He always went overboard with his jokes and games. Nearly destroyed Equestria because of it."

"I said I was sorry." Discord said in annoyance.

"Regardless we had to enforce punishment on you by keeping you locked in stone for a good five hundred years." Luna replied.

"Five hundred years locked in stone?" Twilight gasped.

"Yes. I had such a crick in my neck." Discord spun his head around his whole body like a screw.

"But once he did his time, Luna and I freed him and he promised never to overdo it." Celestia explained.

Discord leaned over to Spike's ear and whispered, "I just couldn't say no to that gorgeous face." he nudged Spike.

"Uh-huh." Spike nodded, seeing where he was going.

Twilight looked to her mentor, "But he's got chaos magic, and isn't that I don't know... Bad?"

Discord poofed in front of her, "Come now, Princess Twilight. There's a little something you may have overlooked about the world itself. It's all about balance. Light and dark. Day and night. Harmony and chaos. They balance each other out. Can't have one without the other."

Celestia nodded, "He is correct. Which sometimes is painful to admit." she added, while Discord pretended to have a heart attack.

"So cruel, Tia." he whimpered.

"So why did you bring him in again?" Rainbow asked.

"Discord is an old powerful allie of ours and very resourceful in fields," Celestia explained, "He will be useful to us in the coming battles."

"That's what I'm here for!" Discord announced dramatically, while standing proudly and wearing a traditional spandex superhero outfit with a cape. Discord ripped it off and continued, "And she also called me in because I know of someone in Equestria who can help with Spike's dragon training."

"You do?" Spike and the girls asked.

"That's right. He will be able to help you with your dragon abilities even more than the girls are able to."

"And where is he?" Spike inquired.

"I sent him on ahead to your place. I felt it was best for you to meet him first before the others do." Discord answered.

"What?!" Spike cried, "You sent him over to my house? I better get home right now before things get suspicious." he bolted.

"Spike, wait up!" Twilight called, as she ran after him.

Celestia turned to Discord, "You know you could've put it in better words?"

"But where would the fun be in that, Tia?" Discord smirked.

At Spike's house, Spike and Twilight entered and saw the Drakes in the living room, "Mom? Dad?"

"Hey, son, Twilight. Welcome back." his dad greeted them.

"Thank you." Twilight replied.

Spike spoke, "Listen, has anyone stopped by here looking for me?"

His mother looked concerned, "No. Nobody's come today. Why, are you expecting someone?"

Spike and Twilight were confused, until Spike answered, "No. It's nothing." he walked off, as Twilight followed him.

They went upstairs, as Spike spoke, "Well, this is so confusing. Discord said he was here, and yet he's not."

"Perhaps, he's also punctual like Discord was?" Twilight suggested.

"So I gotta wait for him as well?" Spike asked with a heavy sigh.

The two stopped before hearing something above them, "What's that?" Twilight asked.

"It's coming from the attic." Spike said cautiously, as he went and pulled the string bringing down the ladder to the attic.

The two climbed up and found themselves in Spike's attic. The two looked around seeing a lot of boxes and stuff stacked and packed around.

"This is the first time I've been up here." Twilight said.

"Yeah. Sorry you have to see all this. My parents are pack rats." Spike replied.

The two suddenly heard the sound of buttons being pressed. They crept along before looking over a few boxes and saw someone hunched over while playing a hand held video game.

"Yes. Yes. Almost there. Almost... Yes! High score!" the figure said to himself.

Twilight turned to Spike and made a finger countdown. When she got to the last finger, the two jumped out and tackled him.

"Sneak into my house, will ya?!" Spike called, as the two held him down.

"No! Wait! Wait a minute! This isn't what it looks like!" the figure pleaded.

"Who are you, and why're you sneaking around up here?" Twilight demanded.

"If you'll get off me I'll tell you." he answered.

Twilight and Spike looked at each other, before getting off him. The figure got up and allowed the two to get a good look at him. He was about seventeen years old with tan skin, long brown hair, and mismatched colored eyes. His attire included a black trench coat, pants, and a red scarf.

"All right, talk." Spike ordered.

"My name's Stone Edge. And I was brought in by Discord to train you to be a dragon, Spike Drake."

"You?" Spike and Twilight asked, as Stone nodded, "So you're a dragon too?" Spike inquired.

"See for yourself." Stone answered, as he transformed. To Twilight and Spike's surprise he had the properties of a dragon from head and tail, but he also had the body of a pony as well.

"Hold on, you're a dragon, but you have pony properties as well?" Twilight asked.

"Yeah. I guess you could call me a kirin." Stone answered.

"A kirin?" Spike asked, while turning to Twilight.

"A mythological hoofed chimera creature." she explained.

"Ok. That explains that," Spike admitted before looking back at Stone, "But why are you here in my attic and not downstairs or something?"

"Well, I didn't wanna come off as intruding and I didn't have time to come up with a story to tell your folks about why I'm here. So I figured I'd hide out here until you came up here."

"And what would you do if we hadn't heard you from downstairs?" Twilight asked dryly.

"Huh, I never considered it." he shrugged.

Spike sighed, "This guy is supposed to be my trainer?"

"Hey, don't sound so skeptical. I am quite the capable fighter. And that's why Celestia had Discord bring me in."

Spike continued to look skeptical, until Twilight spoke up, "Why don't you two go out and have a little guy time. Get to know each other more."

"What?" Spike asked in complaint.

"It's what Princess Celestia wants, Spike. You may as well get to know him."

Spike sighed before looking over to Stone, "All right. What do you wanna do?"

"Let's go grab a bite. I'm starving." Stone suggested.

"All right, but we need to sneak you out of here." Spike said.

So they went down from the attic seeing Spike's parents were still downstairs. Spike brought Stone into his room, and went out to the balcony.

"All right, spread your wings and let's go." Stone said.

"I'll see you later, Spike." Twilight said, as she kissed his cheek.

Spike smiled, "See ya later, Twi." he went dragon mode, and the two spread their wings and flew off.

Some time later, Spike and Stone were sitting on a skyscraper rooftop having pizza and soda. The two were laughing it up with sharing life stories.

"Oh, man. You love cosplaying?" Spike asked.

"Oh, yeah. A chance to dress like you're favorite character from anything you like," Stone explained, "Even though Equestria has Nightmare Night for something like that, I don't like to limit the chance to one night a year."

"We got a holiday like that here in this world. We call it Halloween." Spike replied.

"Seems our worlds really aren't so different." Stone said, while taking a drink.

"So despite being half pony and half dragon, you do have dragon powers like mine?" Spike inquired.

"That's right. I can train you better than anyone here. I'll help you unlock your armor form at will," Stone said, "It won't be easy and quick to do, but I promise you I will help you reach your full potential as a dragon. If you accept me of course."

"Hmm," Spike pondered, "Well, there aren't that many dragons I know of personally. And if you were brought in by order there must be some truth to what you say about yourself."

"There is." he nodded.

Spike thought to himself, 'What do you think, Bahamut?'

'Well, it's not like you have a choice in the matter being an order by the princess. But I do agree with what you said being the only other dragon you know. I can't exactly train you physically because I exist inside you.'

"I figured that much,"'Spike thought back, before speaking up, "All right, Stone. I accept you as my personal dragon trainer."

Stone smiled, "I thought you would," he extended his hand, and Spike shook it, "By the way, Spike. I'm curious about something."

"Curious about what?"

"Have you developed dragon passion yet?"

"Dragon passion?" Spike asked.

"Yes. You have been told dragons have an overbearing passion for stuff right?"

"Yeah, but that's mostly with gems. I haven't had any attraction for gems. The only thing I'm interested in is girls."

"I see." Stone said, while beckoning Spike to continue.

"And being on a team with six hot girls is about as good as it can get. Problem is I can only have one and Twilight's already established herself as my soul mate. If I had it my way, I'd have a harem."

Stone chuckled, "So have one."

"What?" Spike did a double take.

"Dragon's passion isn't limited to just gems alone. A Dragon's passion can be for all things, gems, treasure, food, artifacts... And that does include women." Stone tempted him.

"So my harem idea can be a reality?" Spike asked with hope.

Stone smirked, "If you want it too."

"Thank you. I had my doubts about you at first, but now I see you have the answers I had been looking for since I hit puberty."

"Glad to be of help. We'll start our training for two hours after school. But I do have a request of you."

"What's that?" Spike asked.

"Can I bunk in your attic?"

"What? Why do you want to be there?"

"I don't have any other place to go here." Stone answered.

"Can't you just ask Princess Celestia to set you up somewhere, or even Discord. You came here with him, remember?"

"Discord can pop in and out. He doesn't exactly need living arrangements. And the Princess said nothing. Please, Spike. I have nowhere to go. I'm desperate!" Stone pleaded, "I won't be a burden. I can get my own food. And I won't intrude on anything with you or Twilight!"

"Ok! Ok. I'll let you live in my attic... For now."

"Thank you." Stone said in gratitude.

"Come on. We better head back." Spike got up and went dragon mode.

"Quite right." Stone went anthro form, and the two flew off.

Later that night, Chrysalis stood on top of a water tower looking out into the city, "So many people rich in love. It's like an all you can eat buffet. But for now I must concentrate and find myself a warrior to bond with this element of Disharmony Sombra gave me," her eyes glowed and suddenly flying around her was a swarm of insect like ponies that looked like her only with smaller horns and wings and big blue eyes.

"Yes, you're highness?" one asked with a buzzing sound.

"What is it you wish of us?" another asked.

"Go forth my Changelings. Be my eyes and ears. Cover every square inch of this city and find me an appropriate chosen one." Chrysalis ordered.

"Yes, Queen Chrysalis." the Changelings buzzed.

"Then get going." she ordered, as the Changelings flew off throughout the city and suddenly started transforming into various citizens ranging from little children, teenagers, adults, and even elderly. Chrysalis watched and smiled deviously.
