[The Next Day]

“Hurry up! Trixie does not like to wait for slow ponies such as yourself to keep her waiting.”

In my mind I wanted to punch Trixie in the face, and tell her to shut the hell up. But then again she and Gilda are leading me to where the dragon lives so.. “Oh I’m sorry I don’t have a horn like you have to levitate me, or know how to fly like Gilda. If you haven’t notice I just became a bat pony in oh I don’t know, YESTERDAY!”

“Even a newborn colt or filly can do a better job then you can Adelle. Trixie finds it sad that you were able to kill a manticore, but you don’t know how to use magic.”

“.....You know just because I can’t fly and we’re friends, doesn’t mean I won’t shove my right hoof right up your-.” Before I could finish my threat, we all heard a monstrous roar. Some of the rocks began to fall a few inches next to us. Trixie and Gilda dodge them without any problems, while I just simply had to lunge from left to right to avoid getting hit. “I take it that we’re close huh?”

“Really? Trixie didn’t notice. Was it because of the loud roar that we just heard, or was it the small rock slide?”

“You know this could’ve gone much faster if one of you carry me up this stupid mountain.”

“Trixie would, but she still drained from yesterday and *yawns* doesn’t have the energy to do it.”

“And I’m pretty much carrying her so I can’t carry you. Mostly because if I did, then I would fall to the ground.”

I’m starting to think being friends with these two will be the death of me, but at we’re almost to the top of this damn mountain.

After two hours of climbing and dodging falling rocks, we finally made it to the top of the mountain. No thanks to the unicorn and flying chicken who kept criticizing me. I mean really what of friends would do….you know what never mind. If my friends were still alive, then they would pretty much do that.

“Okay so how hard is a dragon’s skin and where’s it’s weak point?”

“From what I heard from my grandfather who fought against one in a war. He said that their scales are as hard as diamonds, and their weak spot is their under bellies.”

“Okay.” I pulled up my P.R.P screen and accessed the Facility Management. “Now just need to make a few Debilitators and…..done. Now let’s get fire butts attention.” I motioned Trixie and Gilda to stay behind a boulder near the cave’s entrance. While they were hiding, I entered the cave with my EZ Katze Kralle I in my hands. As I walked into the cave, my eyes widen in shock and awe at the amount of gold and jewels this dragon has.

“Man we’ll be loaded for life once I kill this dragon! I mean when you add the money that you get from his bounty, plus the bits and jewels he’s been hoarding for lord knows how long. You’ll pretty much be the richest person on earth.” Just before I lost my train of thought, I felt a gust of warm wind blowing in my face. I looked up and saw the dragon in front of me. Odd really, I never thought that I would see a real live dragon before in my entire life. Before I got lost in my train of thought again, I took a few steps back to get a good look at the target. To my surprise when I touched it scales, it was hard but not as hard then a abductor’s.

Before I could think of a plan, the dragon open it's eyes to see me standing in front of it. “Morning sleepy head. You must be the dragon on this wanted poster correct?”

“Who are you and why are you in my cave?” The dragon asked glaring daggers at me.

“Adelle Topaz is my name, and I’m here to collect the bounty on your head. Well that or you could spare us some gold and we’ll be on our way.”

“We?” He asked, I simply just point behind to Trixie and Gilda standing behind the rock outside of the cave. “What makes you think I would let you have my treasure?”

“Because if you don’t, then I’ll have to kill you then. If you’re smart, then you should take my offer.” The dragon snorted, causing me to fall back a bit due to some of the smoke that exhaled from it's nose. "So I take it that's a no then huh?" The dragon nodded at my question as he picked himself up and began to inhale a huge breath of air. At that point If it's anything like the Dionaea back home, then it was about to breath fire at me. With quick reflexes I switched to my shielding thorn, and activated it to shield me from the fire.

"DEAR CELESTIA!" yelled Trixie as she saw me being engulfed by the flames.

"Damn I wanted those weapons she had. Now what am suppose to do now that Adelle’s dead?”

"Really Gilda? Your worry about my weapons being yours then worrying about me?" To their surprise as the flames died off, I was standing behind a barrier of white thorns. I was a bit surprise myself to how I survive that attack, hell even the dragon was as well.

“What short of magic is that? How were you able to survive from my flames?" He asked with a dumbfounded look on it face.

“It would take too long to explain it to you.” I said as I aim my gun at the dragon. “"Now are you gonna spare some of your gold, or are we gonna do this the hard way?" He didn't say anything, but only swung his tail at me. I used my thorns to latch onto the roof of the cave. I released my hold on the roof as I switch to my sword and cut off his tail. A loud thud was heard when the tail hit the ground, and the dragon roared a mighty roar that it could be heard from the village I saw climbing up here. I looked back at Trixie and Gilda with shocking looks on their faces, I chuckled a bit from their expressions then turn my attention towards the dragon.

"So are you gonna be nice and spare some bits?" I asked, only for the dragon to nodded his head no and charged at me. "Okay then." I reached into my inventory to pull out a Debilitator, and chucked it at the dragon’s head. I rolled to the left to avoid the dragons charge attack, as I threw another Debilitator at the dragon’s neck. “Hope this works.” Switching to my EZ Katze Kralle I and fired at the dragon’s neck. This caused the scales on the dragon to crack, as I threw a sticky grenade at it.

“I really hope this works.”

"Trixie is in shock and awe at what she is seeing." She said as she watch the fight between Adelle and the dragon.

"Yeah it's a good thing she on our side. I hate to see what would’ve happen if we met her if she was working for some bad guy." Gilda said as they both shivered at the thought of it. "You think she could teach me some of those moves?"

“Trixie is hoping she could show me how to do that wall of thorns, along with those glowing ball things. This would be great to Trixie as a comeback from zero to super star." She said with stars in her eyes.

"Yeah cause Celestia knows you'll be back to stardom after what happen in ponyville."

"At least I can win over the hearts of the citizens, unlike you who scared them to death."

"HEY! IF IT WASN'T FOR THAT PINK NIGHTMARE STEALING DASH FROM ME I-!" Before she could finish her sentence, Gilda notice six colorful ponies walking up the path that leads to the summit of the mountain. Both Trixie and Gilda said in union. "Oh great it's you six."

"Gilda, Trixie? What are you two doing here?" asked Twilight.

"Why should we tell you?"

"Cause if you don't, then will beat the answers out of you." said Rainbow dash flying in front of the griffon.

“Rainbow dash we’re here to find out what that noise was, not to start a fight with them." Twilight said standing in between Gilda and Rainbow Dash. She then turned her attention towards the griffon and blue unicorn. "Now can you both please tell us why you two are here?"

"Trixie doesn't have to answer to the likes of you Twilight Sparkle, in fact why don't you look over there and see for yourself." She said pointing a finger towards the cave. The six ponies began to walk towards the opening of the cave, only to be blown back when a loud booming sound echoed out of the cave. Recovering from the sudden burst of air that pushed them back, a dragon’s head was popping out of the cave. At first everypony was surprised at the dragon and thought it was about to attack them, but it didn't. It just stood there on the ground doing nothing like it was dead. Twilight notice that there was a bat pony sitting on top of the dragon’s head. The mare was wearing what looked like to be survivor gear, and a strange black box strap to her waist.

Looks like the Debilitator’s are working seeing how his scales are cracking. As I placed the last sticky grenade onto the dragon’s weaken body parts, the bomb self destructed causing pieces of the dragon’s scale and flesh to scatter around in the cave. Judging by the way he looks, it looks like he’s ready to pass out, that or keel over from the damage I did to him. “Last chance big guy. You can either give up your treasure, or give up your life?” asked as I pulled out my polearm Gae Bulg. “Your choice.”

The Dragon said nothing, only that he took in a deep breath air. “Seriously? You’re willing to die just to protect you treasure?” My only response was him spewing out fire at me. I once again used my shielding thorn to create a fence of thorns in front of me. As the flames died out and my thorn fence gone, I threw my polearm at the dragon’s chest. At first he laughed at what he thought was my killing move, but I pointed down at the spear which had a cluster of sticky grenades on the tip of it.

"You see, this all could’ve been avoided if you would’ve just shared." with a snap of my finger, the sticky grenades exploded as they left a huge gaping hole into the dragon’s chest. Before the dragon was about to fall on top of me, I used my thorns to move out of the way for dead dragon. "Huh? If all the monster's here are this weak, then fighting them would be easy as pie." I said pulling out my phone to take a picture of the dead dragon. "Can't lose the bet towards Gilda if I don't have proof now don't I?" After the snapshot I took, I landed on the dead dragon’s back as I made my way to the entrance of the cave.

when I exited the cave, there were six bright and colorful ponies standing there in shock at the dead dragon. I looked to my left to see Trixie and Gilda still hiding behind the rock. "Hey Gilda!" I yelled throwing my storage unit towards her. "Go inside the cave and collect the loot this dragon had." With that Gilda and Trixie ran into the cave, leaving me here with the other ponies. I was about to follow the two into the cave, but I was cut off by a cyan pegasus with rainbow mane.

"Hey! Who the hay are you, and what happen to the dragon?" She said pointing at the dragon that I was standing on.

“My name is Adelle Topaz, and to what happen to the dragon….well I killed it.” I said, this took everyone by surprise.

"Please, like somepony like you could defeat a dragon."

"Maybe not you ponies, but unless you have gear that can damage a dragon.” I said as I pulled out my gun to show her. “Then it’s pretty much easy to kill one.”

"But why would you kill that poor defenseless dragon?" ask the cream color pegasus with pink hair.

“Because he was on the wanted list.” I said as I pulled out the wanted poster of the dragon. “I was willing to let it live if it gave me some of his treasure, but he refused and I had to kill him.”

"How dare you."

"Huh?" I asked "I couldn't hear you, speak up."

"HOW DARE YOU KILL AN INNOCENT DRAGON!" Really? she cares more about the dragon then she would her own kind? Man she reminds me of the people in the group back home called PETA. "WHO GIVES YOU THE RIGHT TO ATTACK THIS DRAGON WITHOUT ANY REASON!?"

"Yeah you tell her Fluttershy!" cheered the cyan pegasus.

"You better say your sorry or else I'll have to give you the stare." The stare, really? As if her name wasn't bad enough, now she's gonna stare at me with this so called stare? Okay then, let's see what this so called stare is. Might as well humor her just for the laughs. With that I spit my tongue out at her, this pretty much cause all six of them to frown at me. Well besides the pink one with the cotton candy looking hair. Looking back at this pony named fluttershy she was giving me her so called ‘stare’. The other ponies had smiles on their faces when they saw her using her stare on me. This is just a waste of time. I could be doing something else then this crap.

"Really? This is your so called stare?" Everypony was surprised that ‘The stare’ didn't work on me, but to be fair I faced scarier things than her.

"Why didn't the stare work on her?" asked the white unicorn with violet wavy hair.

"I don't know? The only ponies that I know that wouldn't be affected by her stare would be the Princesses." said the lavender unicorn.

"Why should I say that I'm sorry when the dragon was the one that attack me? What, you care more about this stupid dragon then you do your kind?" This took the cream color pegasus by surprise. "How pathetic and sad, what would happen if your friends got killed by this dragon? Would you just stand there and let the dragon do what it wants?" Tears started to form around her eyes as I continue to lecture her. "What, gonna cry? Well get use to it, cause what I'm telling you is the hard truth about life. Now get the hell out of my face, I have some gold to collect." Before I could walk off into the cave, a lavender color aura or something surrounded me. I looked over to see the lavender unicorn's horn glow.

"You’re not going anywhere until we get some answers." She said as she was trying to pull me over towards her. "Why isn't my levitation spell working on you?" I get the feeling that the pool of Will’O energy I feel into might be the cause of it, better not tell them about that otherwise they might do something worse.

"Beats me, but I can tell you this much."

"What’s that suppose to mean?" asked the orange pony with the cowboy hat.

I smiled as I pulled out a flash grenade, and threw it onto the ground. A bright light flashed in front of everyone, as I ran off into the cave to meet up with Trixie and Gilda. I just hope that Trixie can teleport us the hell out of the cave, because I don't think I can take on six technicolor ponies. I mean I wouldn't have a problem with taking out six people from On High because they’re easy to read, but those six I'm not taking any chances.

As the light died out, all the ponies were still rubbing their eyes from the blinding light trying to regain their sight. When they were able to see, the pony name Adelle that was in front of them was gone.

"Why that no good little...Oh she is not gonna get away that easily!" Rainbow dash flew off into the cave going after Adelle. Twilight was still trying to understand why her levitation spell didn't work on the unicorn, but she was brought back to reality by Applejack calling out her name.

"Twilight come on, that bat pony is getting away." Applejack ran off into the cave along with the rest of the group.

"R-Right."
