Fire's Burn
Twilight POV

Barb and I sat at the local cafe we loved. I had gone around and asked Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy to meet us here. We had a table large enough for all of us. I told the waiter to wait till our whole party was here before we ordered. Soon the girls came walking up and chatting with each other. I smiled as they each took a seat and the waiter came by our table. We ordered our drinks and food. He thanked us and left. I cleared my throat to talk.

"I thank all of you being here," I said

"No problem Twi." Said Applejack

"So what's this about darling?" Asked Rarity

"Xavier and our harem," I said

"Wait, you just said harem. I know for a fact, Xavier said he was creating a herd." Said Applejack

"Yeah, Xavier told me it was just Applejack and you." Said Fluttershy

"And I'm confident I was number four in the herd." Said Rarity

"Girls calm down, the reason Xavier started a harem is Barb's feelings. She has the same feelings that we have," I said

"Is that true, Barbara." Said Rarity

"Yes, he's the only guy who has ever looked past my dragon exterior." Said Barb

"Oh, that is too sweet. Now, how about we each saw why we love Xavier. My reason is that he is the perfect stallion. Somepony who will happily be there when you are down. He also knows what to say. He always seems to come just at the right time, just like a real knight in shining armor." Said Rarity

"For me, it's Xavier's kindness and devotion. He never lashes out and always is gentle." Said Fluttershy

"I guess for me. It's that hard working mentality. Plus I got Xavier on his little kink for cowgirls. Plus he's the first guy to compliment my body." Said Applejack

"Intelligence and his artistic mind. His words just jump right off the pages of his book and travel me across his world. But I can also just spend time talking with him about stuff," I said

We all laughed and blushed how we each had a different reason for loving him. But as I thought it over, all our reasons were the same. We got our food and ate. While we ate, Fluttershy brought something up.

"Twilight," I perked up. "Xavier told me he wanted to take things slow. Mind explaining."

"The reason is the custom Xavier's world uses. Lyre told me a while back that Xavier didn't feel polygamous relationships were right. The reason is that, in his world, all relationships are monogamy. He grew up with the lifestyle that you love one girl, and you marry that girl. But here, you can love more than one girl and marry them all. He's just not used to that idea yet," I said

"So we're goin' to help Xavier transition into harem life. We aren't goin' push him into nothing polygamous till he's ready for it." Said Applejack

"That's understandable." Said Rarity

"So how long before you think he'll be ready for polygamous activities." Said Barb

"Who knows, Xavier seems like he's fighting himself. I think we shouldn't push for anything at this point. I believe we should let Xavier tell us when he wants to try something polygamous with the harem," I said

"Good idea Twi." Said Applejack

"Now Applejack, this all had to start with you. So tell us all, how was he 'under the sheets.'" Said Rarity

Applejack blushed and rubbed the back of her neck. She had sighed before she spoke.

"He was amazin'. But just for future reference to ya'll, Xavier's got a fetish for girls dominating him in the bed. But what was great was two major things. First was his increased stamina, where stallions could go a few minutes. He nearly lasted an hour. It felt great when I had extreme heat. The second is that his penis isn't a flat but has a head of its own. It felt amazin' as it moved across the flesh of my pussy. Plus it was so much easier to thrust in and out. I can understand why girls from his world love that." Said Applejack

We each had blush crawling over our faces. Applejack's heavier than ours. But I could see each of the girls' faces go darker as I knew they were thinking of what Xavier could do 'under the sheets.' Even my mind started to wander to the day Xavier, and I would make love. We each shook our heads to stop the thoughts.

"Oh, I can hardly wait for a night with him." Said Fluttershy

"Me neither darling." Said Rarity

"But before either of ya gets anything from Xavier. Our beta has to have her night first." Said Applejack

"Beta?" Asked Barb

"I presume we're doing the alpha and beta harem style." Said Applejack

"That's what I was thinking," I said

"Mind filling us in darling." Said Rarity

"Well, since a herd is usually just four mares. The herd stallion controls the herd. But with harems, they can be expanded out to any number of mares. So the stallions do sometimes get overworked. So two mares are chosen to run the herd with the stallion. Those are the alpha and beta. The alpha is always the stallions first pick, and beta is second, though some harems choose to vote in the alpha and beta, though it's rare. So to help transition Xavier into this life and just in case Xavier keeps expanding, we are going to use the alpha and beta system. Applejack will be his alpha, and I'll be his beta," I said

"Sounds fine with me. Not mentioning you two could help ease Xavier into the lifestyle." Said Fluttershy

"That's our hope." Said Applejack

"So where is Xavier?" Asked Rarity

"He said he was going to take a walk," I said

"So who's watchin' Moon?" Asked Applejack

"Flame," I said

"Speaking of Flame and Moon. Here they come." Said Fluttershy

We all turned to see Moon come skipping along with Flame in her hands. He just dangled as Moon carried him around like a baby. As they approached, we all couldn't stop ourselves from going 'ah' at how cute it was. Flame just groaned at us. Moon came up to us, and I got Flame and her a chair. She let go of Flame and took her seat as Flame did the same. I got the waiter over, and they ordered what they wanted to eat.

"So what brings you by Moon?" I asked

"I wanted to see you, mom. The library is lonely with only Uncle Flame." She said

I smiled and rubbed her head as the waiter came back with the drinks for Flame and Moon. Then later their food. We all returned to eating and talking about other things that seemed important to us. Though in the back of my mind, I was wondering what Xavier was doing.

Xavier POV

I sat on a park bench rubbing my thumb across the metal of my mother's dog tags. My mind was thinking about everything that had been going on in my life. My thoughts ranged from making love with Applejack, creating a herd with Twilight and Applejack, adding Rarity and Fluttershy into the herd and creating a harem to be able to love Barb. I sighed as I ran my other hand through my hair. My heart was still telling me. I was doing the right thing. But my mind was telling me this was wrong. I shouldn't be doing this. I sighed again, this time, a little harder.

"Your mind is busy, Xavier."

"Sure is Crystal. I just keep fighting with myself if what I'm doing is right."

"Xavier, you're not regretting taking on a harem."

"No, I would never do that. I love each of harem mates with everything my heart can give. I just can't get the idea of this being wrong out of my head."

""Xavier, I know that you are uneasy with this all. But your girls love you and will happily wait for you to adjust to the harem life before attempting anything polygamous."

"I know Crystal, I'm just afraid I might never adjust enough to do anything polygamous."

"Xavier, from what I know about humans, you are a species that adapt to the surroundings around you. You just need to give time, and you will change. But you first must push the ideas of how a polygamous life is wrong out of your head. Only when you have expelled those thoughts, will you be able to move forward much faster. Just give it a try Xavier."

"I will and thank you, Crystal."

"Any time Xavier."

I rubbed the dog tags a few more times. Crystal's right, we humans are an adaptive species. I just need to lose the idea of how wrong having a harem is. Once that's out of my mind, I'll be able to move forward with my harem life. I know the girls will be there to help me throughout this process. I slipped the dog tags over my neck and got from the bench. I decided to explore the trail that the park had. There was only one for this park. I walked the trail taking in the sounds and smells of the calm nature around me. But as I walked, I felt like something was pulling me forward. It was pulling me somewhere as I walked the trail. I soon stopped as I happened to turn and look at a small path that led into the woods. The wind blew, and I felt that pulling desire again. I wasn't sure what it was, but it was strong. I turned my body and decided to see what was pulling me.

I walked into the woods off from the trail. I know they saw to stay on the path, but I couldn't stop myself. Whatever was pulling me was powerful enough to stop any will of mine. I pushed past a tree and with a wrong step, came tumbling into a small ravine. I rubbed my head as I slowly got up. Damn, that hurt. I looked around and happened to find a cave entrance in front of me. The pulling desire came right from that cave. Time to see what's been pulling me here. I got up and walked into the cave. I had to crouch as the cave ceiling wasn't tall enough for me. I pushed forward, but as I did, the air around me became hot and hard to breathe. It felt like I standing right near a lava flow. I pulled my collar as I began to sweat. I pushed myself through an opening and found what was pulling me. On a pedestal was a red crystal shard. Wait, could that be one. It has to be, one of the Crystal Shard Dragons.

"Crystal."

But I had no response. That's weird, but besides the point. Time to claim my first one. I walked forward and reached out my hand. The second a finger touched the crystal, a flash of red came off the red crystal shard. Soon I felt my hands burning like crazy. I looked down at my hands, and my eyes widened as my hands started to light on fire. I screamed as my skin melted away and all I could see was my bone. But the fire didn't stop as it started to burn up my whole body. I screamed till I blinked and I was now in a world of volcanoes and fire.

"What the hell just happened to me?" I asked myself

Note, all of Meteor's text will be in the color red.

"Xavier Young."

I heard my name called out in a deep male voice. I turned and saw a massive meteorite floating behind me. It was massive, and it had cracks on the surface as lava moved through the cracks.

"Xavier Young."

"That's me, tell me are you one of the Crystal Shard Dragon. One of the children of Crystal Heart," I said

"Yes, I am Meteor the Crystal Shard Dragon of Fire. The mark on your back was able to let me draw you towards me."

"Can you explain the strange effect that happened to my body when I touched your crystal shard," I said

"It allowed me to bring you here. Now take this and let my fire join your body."

The crystal shard of fire came out of the meteorite. It came towards me, and I grabbed it. The second I did, fire encased my hands. I once again watched as the fire melted away my hands. I knew it wasn't real, and once I blinked it was over. I now held the crystal shard in my average hands. I pulled up my shirt and placed the crystal shard into one of the spots in my belt. I then looked back up at Meteor.

"My fire now burns within you. Use this fire to burn your enemies. If you ever require me, just call me."

The area around me grew in fire and with a blink of my eyes, I was back outside the cave. The cave entrance was now closed up by fresh, dried lava. I pulled up my shirt and rubbed the crystal shard. Wait I have no idea how to use the fire Meteor gave me. I looked at my left hand. I knew that the legendary Young could use elements from their mark. But I had no idea how even to do that with my mark. I shrugged as I still had time to figure things out. I pulled myself out of the ravine and got back out to the park. The second I stepped out I heard a mighty howl coming from Ponyville. Stray Wolf! I booked it to make sure that he didn't get his hands on Moon or my harem.

***

I ran into town to see houses and buildings destroyed. Also, some parts of the house were bubbling and sizzling away from a green liquid. What the hell happened here. I watched as a Timber Wolf appeared from behind a building. It was a lot slimmer than the first wolves I fought. It looked up at me and growled before it ran at me with incredible speed. I was just able to dodge just in time. I rolled as the wolf looked back at me. I pulled my sword as the wolf ran at me again. I dodged but held my sword out. So the Timber Wolf passed right over it. The two halves landed on the other side and exploded into the wood. I sighed as I sheathed my sword and heard the howl again. I ran forward and what I found amazed me. Standing in the market area of Ponyville was a massive Timber Wolf. It toured over the buildings. An exotic black wood covered the Timber Wolf with the same sickly yellow eyes. The only difference was a green liquid that dripped from the Timber Wolf's mouth. Once it hit the ground, I now realized what the bubbling and sizzling on the buildings were. Acid.

It howled again, and I saw it spit up acid destroying a building. I watched with horror at what the Timber Wolf could do.

"Xavier," I turned to see Twilight and the others. I gave a kiss to Twilight and the others of my harem.

"Mind telling what happened," I said

"Stray Wolf came into the town looking for ya. But he also came with a new Timber Wolf that could reach incredible speeds." Said Applejack

"Yeah, but we were able to deal with those. It wasn't till that huge Timber Wolf came in." Said Rainbow

"We got away as it started to spit up acid." Said Barb

I looked behind them to see more ponies.

"Hello, young warrior," The hairs on my body stood on end as I heard that familiar voice. My old wounds, now long healed, felt like they were in pain again. I turned to see Stray Wolf standing proud as ever, "It has been too long."

"Stray Wolf," I said

"I'm glad you still remember me." He said

"How could I ever forget you," I said

"Yes, how could you ever forget that fight. I mean it could have been the last fight you ever had." He said

The large Timber Wolf came up behind him and growled. He raised his hand, and the wolf stopped.

"Now as I told your friends, I would return to kill you. Now it is that time. But I decided that my queen should do it. Oh yes, Xavier and ponies of Ponyville, meet the queen of the Timber Wolves," the Timber Wolf howled. "So Xavier, you ready to die so I can have my queen meltdown the rest of this town in her acid and the ponies that call it home."

"How about I kill you and take your medal," I said

"Oh how nice." He snapped his fingers and pointed them down at me, "Kill him."

The wolf howled, and I pulled my sword. I looked back at the girls.

"Run and take cover away from here with everypony else," I said

Twilight nodded and pointed out before coming up and kissing me on the cheek. She ran with the others. I saw them take a hiding place behind a destroyed building farther away. Other ponies did the same. I turned back to Stray Wolf and the Timber Wolf Queen. I have a feeling that it's a good thing I found Meteor.

3rd Person POV

The Timber Wolf Queen howled at Xavier as Stray Wolf jumped onto a building to watch the battle.

"Let's see if you have grown stronger Xavier or shall Ponyville watch as my Queen's acid turns you into a pile of goo." Said Stray Wolf

"We'll see about that." Said Xavier

"We sure will." Said Stray Wolf

The Timber Wolf Queen howled at Xavier. It pulled back its head as it released a torrent of acid at Xavier. Xavier booked it out of the way. The wolf turned to him and howled. Speed Wolves came barreling out behind buildings toward Xavier. Great now I got to deal with those to. Xavier dodged the Speed Wolves and was able to cut down two of the three that attacked him. Only one remained and ran at Xavier. Xavier avoided it and once again got it to slice through his sword. The last Speed Wolf was dead. He sighed but quickly rolled away as another blast of acid nearly hit him.

"That was too close." Said Applejack

"Please watch your back, Xavier." Said Twilight

"Daddy." Said Moon

That was to close. Xavier watched as the queen charged up another attack of acid. Xavier ran straight for it as the queen released her acid attack. Xavier made it safely under the queen and struck each her paws with his sword. He came out and sheathed his sword. Xavier grabbed the tail of the queen. The Timber Wolf Queen looked back at him as he climbed her tail. She shook her tail violently as Xavier tried in vain to hold on. But his attempts were useless as she threw Xavier into the Town Hall. Stray Wolf just laughed as his queen approached the building. She brought her face down to the building but back up as she howled in pain.

Xavier had shoved his sword into one of her eyes and held onto it. She bucked around her head, but Xavier's sword was dug too deep into her eye. He charged up his Fable Powers and created a Photon Ball. Once the queen was exhausted, he pulled his sword from her eye.

"Eat this." He said

Xavier smashed the ball of Fable energy into the eye. It exploded, and Xavier jumped away. He landed on the ground as the queen growled in anger as she no longer had one of her eyes. Xavier smirked as he readied himself for the Queen's next move.

"That was incredible." Said Rainbow

"Hey dare you, do that to my queen. No more holding back, show Xavier exactly what you can do, my queen." Said Stray Wolf

The Timber Wolf Queen howled at the top of her lungs. Her back began to transform as hollow wooden tubes came out of her. They stood tall and mighty. The Timber Wolf Queen got down, and each tube shot something into the air before lowering back into the body. Xavier watched as the sky filled with acid.

"Oh shit!" He said

He ran and tried his best to dodge the falling acid. But one shot got him right on the shoulder. He screamed out in pain as the acid sizzled away on his shoulder. He tore the clothing away as not to let the acid get to his skin. But he could already see a minor burn mark from where it hit. That's going to leave a mark, well if it does. Xavier turned, but he was too late as the queen was already on him. She brought down her wooden paw and smashed Xavier into the ground.

"XAVIER!" Screamed Twilight

The Timber Wolf Queen moved her paw to see Xavier groaning on the ground. She charged up her acid attack. Xavier was luckily able to get back his senses and get out as the acid came down. The queen spotted him and rose her wooden paw. It came down, but Xavier, this time, caught it. He struggled against it as not to be crushed. Every muscle in his body screamed out in pain. But he had left himself vulnerable to attack. The queen knew this and readied her other paw. She flicked her paw sending Xavier flying into the ground. She ran over as Xavier got up. She clawed his back as he screamed out in pain.

Xavier grabbed his back and felt blood running down it. This isn't great. But it was about to get worse. The Timber Wolf Queen lowered mouth and grabbed Xavier and threw him into the air. He came down and saw her open mouth.

"She's going to eat him!" Screamed Fluttershy

Before Xavier landed into her mouth, he unsheathed his sword and threw it into the queen's nose. She howled out in pain as the sword hit. Xavier grabbed his sword and swung away pulling it with him. He landed with a roll to the ground. But the queen wasn't done yet. She ran at him and with her muzzle, launched him into the air. Xavier flew high into the air. The Timber Wolf Queen charged her acid tubes and fired her acid at him. Xavier saw them coming and dodged them. A few struck his bare skin. The acid burnt as it hit his flesh, but thankfully the air got rid of the acid. But not before leaving a nice burn mark. The queen opened her mouth, and this time, Xavier fell into her maw. She clamped down.

"NO!" Screamed Twilight

But they watched as the jaw of the Timber Wolf Queen was pried open. Xavier still stood firm.

"I'm going to be no one's meal." He said

The queen growled as charged up an acid attack. Xavier turned to see the green bile building up. He pushed harder to open the mouth. But he ran out of time as she spat up her acid. It hit Xavier's back burning it and adding more pain to the open wounds on his back. The acid shot him out of her mouth. He landed hard onto the ground as his back sizzled from the acid. Xavier tried to get up, but the queen flipped him over and placed a paw on his chest. The queen growled as she looked at her helpless prey.

"No, this can't be the end." Said Twilight

"Xavier can't die like that." Said Flame

"Daddy!" Screamed Moon

Moon grabbed on to Twilight as they watched as the queen's mouth moved towards his head. Ponies turned away as not to see the death of Xavier. Stray Wolf laughed as he had won. Xavier struggled against the wooden paw. He wiggled out his left hand and concentrated on his sword. He was able to claim it, and with a quick swipe to the leg, the queen let him go. Xavier slowly struggled to get up and move away. His body severely burned and any movement he made stung like hell. He fell to the ground a few feet away as he looked at the ponies and his loves. The queen approached his body.

"Crush his skull with your paw, my queen." Said Stray Wolf

The queen stood over Xavier's body. She raised her paw to the sky and was ready to end the life of Xavier. Xavier looked out at the crowd ponies with tear filled eyes. I'm sorry I failed you all, but most of all, I'm sorry to my harem. I'm sorry I never showed you all the love I could give you. Xavier accepted his fate, but that was until Meteor's voice rang in his ears.

"Let my fire course through your veins. May it burn all who wish to oppose you. May it give you the fire to fight on. Xavier, embrace the flame."

Xavier felt a strange energy course through his body. His body started to warm up as if a fire was consuming him. The queen backed off as the heat was too much for her. Xavier slowly got up as his mark burned bright with red shine coming off of it. He screamed out as fire consumed his body. His wounds healed themselves, and his clothing was repaired all on its own. Xavier's coat started to turn red as the crystal shard of fire appeared in the middle instead of the standard crystal heart with twelve crystal shards around it. He now stood healthy once again.

"How the?!" Asked Stray Wolf

The queen growled as a fire consumed Xavier's coat and his gloved hands. He brought his sword over to his hands as it was eaten in the flame as well. Xavier smirked as he had gotten his second wind thanks to a new friend. Xavier lifted his shirt to see the red crystal shard emitting a red light. Thank you Meteor, now it's time to finish this fight. Xavier grabbed his sword as he stared down the queen.

"How he do that?" Asked Rarity

"Oh man, I wish I knew how to do that." Said Rainbow

"Whatever happened, let's cheer him on." Said Flame

The crowd of ponies cheered for Xavier, their hero. He looked back and gave a thumbs up as he looked back at the Timber Wolf Queen. Alright, let's see what I can with these new fire abilities. Xavier ran at the Timber Wolf Queen as she fired off acid from her tubes. Xavier saw them coming down.

"Fire Shield."

A powerful fire shield consumed him and protected him from the acid. Xavier smiled as he continued to close the gap between him and the queen. He pushed off from the ground and fire exploded from under him and sent him barreling into the sky. Xavier landed on the back of the queen. He charged a Photon Ball and infused it with his new fire abilities.

"Eat this, Fire Photon."

He bashed it into the back of the queen. It exploded out and consumed her back in flames. Xavier jumped back and landed on the ground. The Timber Wolf Queen rolled herself around on the ground to put out the flames. Xavier ran at her and jumped once again. He was going to land the final blow, but the Timber Wolf Queen shot a round of acid at him. Xavier protected himself as he was hit and sent into the ground. But the acid just burnt away as his fire shield was still active.

The queen got up and stared daggers at Xavier. Xavier just waved his hand to come and get him. She charged him as he stood firm. He built up the flame on his sword and released it in a wave. The wave of fire struck the queen straight in the face. She roared out in pain as Xavier was able to get out of the way. He smirked as the Timber Wolf Queen landed into the Town Hall.

The queen got up and looked at Xavier. Damn, she just keeps coming. How the hell do I end her? Xavier wondered on that but was struck with her paw and sent flying into a building. He walloped it and slid down. He groaned as he got up.

"Xavier, summon me."

Xavier grabbed the crystal from his belt. He held it in his hand. It's worth a shot. He tossed the crystal as high in the sky as he could. Suddenly a set of words filled his head.

"I call upon you, come to me. Crystal Shard Dragon of Fire, Meteor." Said Xavier

Xaiver felt the fire consume him, and he screamed out as it shot high into the sky. In the Crystal Empire, the crystal heart began to spin uncontrollably. It began to emit a red glow. Princess Cadance and Prince Shining Armor were called down to see it. Soon a powerful laser was fired from the castle. The ponies watched it as it arced towards Ponyville. In Ponyville they watched as the red laser came towards the energy output Xavier gave off. It split off as it started to create a spiral consuming the energy Xavier gave off. Inside the dream realm, the shadow of Meteor woke up. It roared out as fire filled the shadow of Meteor. The portal opened above him and sucked him in.

"What the hell is going on?" Asked Stray Wolf

But his jaw dropped as with every other pony that was watching. Xavier stopped pouring energy into the portal. He caught his breath and watched himself as the massive meteorite he saw before come out from the entrance. It shook the land around it as it came out of the portal. Celestia and Luna ran out from their balconies to see the meteorite. They watched in amazement as it came out.

"What in the name of Celestia is that?" Asked Rainbow

"It can't be possible. It just can't be. How did Xavier summon him?!" Said Stray Wolf

The meteorite began to crack apart after the portal closed up. Two massive wings made of lava exploded out of the back. The rock formed around it. Two arms and legs came bursting out next. All of them made of lava. The rock formed around, so only the lava could be seen through cracks in the stone. Last was head as it broke from the rock as the front part broke away exposing a chest made of lava. The remaining chunks of meteorite stayed attached to the back. But the head began to split into two. The lower parts of the neck were lava while the upper parts remained covered in the meteorite. Two sets of eyes opened on each head. The eyes were red with black pupils. The mouths broke lose, and it gave out a tremendous roar.

The dragon landed and stood over thirty stories tall. It towered over Timber Wolf Queen. It stood behind Xavier who turned to look at the massive dragon. In Canterlot, Celestia and Luna couldn't believe their eyes as much as the citizens. Their standing in Ponyville was one of the legendary Crystal Shard Dragons.

"Sister, could it be?" Asked Luna

"Yes, sister it is, Meteor, the Crystal Shard Dragon of Fire." Said Celestia

Back in Ponyville, the ponies stared in awe at the dragon that now stood in their town.

"Now shall I introduce my new friend. Stary Wolf meet the Crystal Shard Dragon of Fire, Meteor." Said Xavier

Meteor roared out as Xavier spoke his name.

"That's a Crystal Shard Dragon." Said Rarity

"It's huge." Said Applejack

"Now Meteor show the Timber Wolf Queen your fire." Said Xavier

Meteor charged its mouth full of fire. Once charged it let it all go in a stream of flames. The queen roared in pain as the fire burnt the wood of her body away, turning it into ash.

"What power?!" Said Rarity

Meteor took flight and grabbed the Timber Wolf Queen. Meteor flew high into the sky. Once high enough, Meteor tossed the queen into the ground. The queen walloped the dirt, cracking the remaining wood. She was slow at getting up, giving Meteor plenty of time to finish it.

"Meteor let's finish it, go Meteor Devastation!" Said Xavier

Meteor charged both mouths again as it stayed high in the sky. The lips started to open as balls of fire formed. They grew as Meteor kept charging.

"Do it NOW!" Screamed Xavier

Meteor fired both balls of energy at the Timber Wolf Queen. The fireballs started to swirl around together till they formed a meteorite. The meteor headed right towards the queen. Once it made contact, it exploded. It sent a massive mushroom cloud high into the sky. All across Equestria, ponies watched as the mushroom cloud of smoke rose high into the heavens. Celestia and Luna looked at each other before teleporting to Ponyville. Cadance and Shining knew that Ponyville needed them. Cadance teleported them off as well.

In Ponyville, Meteor cleared the smoke with his massive wings. He landed as near Xavier. The ponies coughed as they came out and saw the queen of Timber Wolves was nothing more than a pile of ash. Stray Wolf eyes couldn't believe what he saw. His most dominant wolf gone in just a matter of second. He growled and whistled. A Speed Wolf came, and he got on board.

"This isn't the end Xavier." Said Stray Wolf

Xavier watched as Stray Wolf ran off with the remaining wolves. He rose his hand to tell Meteor not to chase them. Meteor obeyed and roared high into the sky as he had claimed victory for his master and having his freedom from Pandora.

Xavier Pov

I stood looking at the pile of ash and where Stray Wolf had run off. So Stray Wolf lives to fight another day and so do I. I looked back up at Meteor as he looked down at me.

"Thank you for coming when I summoned you," I said

"As said before Xavier; I would come when you needed me."

"Xavier, what's he sayin'?" Asked Applejack

"What you girls can't hear him?" I asked

"Oh we hear him darling, but all it is some roaring." Said Rarity

"You are the only one who can understand me. My mother has allowed your mind to translate our language. But to any outsider, it will seem like nothing more but roaring."

"It seems that roaring is him talking, but in an ancient dialect that I can only understand thanks to Crystal having merged with me," I said

"How fascinating," said Twilight with sparks of desire to learn in her eyes.

Soon a few flashes of light appeared, and Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Shining were now standing Ponyville. They all stopped to stare at Meteor.

"It truly is Meteor of the Crystal Shard Dragons." Said Luna

"Xavier, thank you for freeing me from the clutches of Pandora. Never let your fire die out inside you. All my fire is yours to use and if you ever require me, just call. Now I can finally take flight once again."

"Thank you Meteor for helping me in my time of need," I said

"No Xavier, you should thank your harem for that. It was your passion that let me infuse my fire into you."

He flapped his wings, and he started to rise to the skies. I waved goodbye as a portal opened up in the heavens. Meteor had disappeared into it before it closed and the crystal shard fell back to me. I opened my hand, and it fell in. I watched as everything went back to normal. I slipped the crystal back into my belt.

"Now that's over with, I think it's time we rebuild Ponyville," I said

"Couldn't agree more." Said Twilight

"Since you're all here, mind giving a helping hand," I said to Celestia, Luna, Cadance, and Shining.

"Might as well." Said Shining

"We would be more than happy to help." Said Luna

"But first, Xavier mind if I talk to you alone." Said Cadance

"Sure," I said

I stepped way with Cadance as the other began to get to work. Once we were far enough away, Cadance brought me into a hug. It was entirely unexpected, but I returned it since that's what you did with a hug.

"I'm so happy for you and the girls you're in love with." She said

"So I guess you used your magic to figure out I'm in love," I said

"Not mentioning that you have a harem. I'm glad my talk with you got through to you." She said

"It sure did Cadance. I followed my heart, but it has been an uphill climb, though. For a while, I was fighting myself because I knew that having a harem was wrong. But before the Timber Wolf Queen killed me, I felt sorry that I never got to show the others my true love for them. Then suddenly I felt this fire run through me. Meteor told me it was my passion for my lovers that ignited his flame in me. So now, it seems everything is right in my head, though it is going to take some time to get used to polygamous activities," I said

"One step at a time Xavier. But I'm happy you found that you can love them all." She said

"I am glad I did," I said

"Now let's get back and help rebuild Ponyville." Said Cadance

"Yes we should and thank you for everything, Cadance," I said

"No problem Xavier, that's what the princess of love does for her subjects." She said

I smiled at her as we walked back and helped Ponyville rebuild after the Timber Wolf Queen attack.

Dream Realm
Crystal POV

I sat with my body curled up looking at the stain glass windows. The first one with Xavier raising his sword high into the sky with me in the background, now had my son, Meteor, flying in the background. One of my wings now returned to the color red. One down, eleven more to go. I heard stomping and turned my head to see Meteor coming towards me.

"Welcome back, my son," I said

"I'm glad to be back mother." He said

"What did you think of Xavier?" I asked

"He is powerful beyond belief. He truly could be the legendary Young." He said

"I also believe so too," I said

We stayed silent as I stared at the other stain glass window. It now had five shadows replaced with the five girls that he loved. At least I won't have to worry about his mind being burdened with the thoughts how wrong it seems for him to have a harem.

"Mother, do you think he'll be able to free the others and stop Pandora." Said Meteor

"I do my son, but Xavier has many more trials he must face before he has reached the point even to consider taking on Pandora," I said

We both looked at Xavier. Xavier, you have a long and dangerous road ahead of you. We both left the stained glass to catch up on old times. Since I had forgotten the last time, I spoke with one of my sons.

Author's Notes:

So Xavier has saved one of the twelve Crystal Shard Dragons, Meteor, which grants him the ability to wield fire. Now the fire form Xavier took when battling the Timber Wolf Queen is not coming back. Think of it a one-time thing to allow him to summon the dragon from out of its entrapment created by Pandora. But he will have all his fire moves.
Fire Sheild: Covers Xavier in a protective fire shield that can burn any attack that might harm him.
Fire Photon: A mixture of the Photon Ball and his fire abilities.
Fire Sword Wave: Storing a massive amount of fire on the blade and releasing it in a wave at an attacker.
(Note: More fire based moves will appear later on as Xavier learns to control his new found fire abilities further)
Brief History: These are the tales of the Crystal Shard Dragons as they have been passed down throughout the history of Eques. In the time of early life, the world of Eques was an unbearable planet. The inhabitants of this new world struggled to survive, but that was till Meteor appeared. The Crystal Shared Dragon of Fire beat his wings for the peoples of Eques. He brought the warm and comfort of the fire. It allowed the first people to embrace the warmth of the fire. It also allowed the first peoples to survive better in this world. But Meteor was also a dragon of great rage and anger. When he learned of people using his gift for war and destruction, he destroyed them. He would summon up volcanoes to destroy those that abused his gift. He would allow the volcanic ash to spread high to the sky as punishment to all, but also a warning to others. But he would beat his wings to clear the ash when he felt enough was enough. All knew to praise his fire or fear his rage.
(Note: I will be having these brief history moments every time Xavier claims a new Crystal Shard Dragon. These are to tell you a little about the history of how the Crystal Shard Dragons shaped Eques when they first appeared.)
