by TyrannosaurusVenom

First published 5th of November, 2016

When a hero's true colors are shown, the ones who are there for you will do anything for vengeance.

This story is a direct sequel to Family of a Lifetime, and picks up right where it left off.

Rainbow and Indominus are married, Scootaloo has the family she always wanted, and everypony is happy at last. However, some ponies have darker thoughts on their minds. A few months after the wedding, Rainbow gets the biggest surprise of her life: she finally gets to be a true Wonderbolt. But her first day goes horribly wrong when Soarin makes her mess up and lands her a haunting nickname from her fillyhood. His actions however, are going to provoke a great rage buried deep within Indominus. The hybrid's rage will cause lines to be drawn and Rainbow will have to make a difficult decision on where her loyalty lies. Will she choose the ponies that she's looked up to her whole life, or the hybrid dinosaur that captivated her heart and would do anything for her?

Departure to the Ultimate Couple's Honeymoon

After the Family of a Lifetime had proclaimed their existence to all of Equestria, it was time for food and bonding. The dinosaurs had all been treated to massive barrels filled to the brim with apple fritters. They had eaten to their hearts' contents, yet Indominus still had room left for more. Unfortunately, the dining area didn't have nearly enough to satisfy his needs, and he decided that he would take a late night hunt to satiate the rest of his appetite. The rest of the time was spent chatting with his amazing wife, the fellow dragons and Discord.

Tyrannosaurus and the raptor squad had taken to talking amongst the dragons to keep themselves busy, while Indominus was spending part of his time with Discord. Rainbow Dash wouldn't admit it to her friends, but it warmed her heart to see Indominus bonding with Discord and being such close friends. The more time they spent together, the more fond Rainbow was becoming of the Lord of Chaos. Every time he and Indominus hung out together, they always seemed so happy and enjoying each other's company. She appreciated anypony that could help make Indominus's day and bond with him on such a great level.

"Pardon me Discord, mind if I borrow my husband for a while?"

"Why of course Mrs. Dash, I was merely discussing with Indominus on how we can spend our afternoons now that he's married. We'll find a way to fit in our days of adventuring, right Indominus?"

"Of course we will Discord, between my training with Smaug, Red-Eyes, and bonding with the monsters we befriended, we'll always have time for our guys nights."

Discord decided to go spend some time with Fluttershy while Rainbow got the chance to talk with her new husband. It was rather strange to think that her life had changed so much. A year ago she had only thought about taking Scootaloo in while continuing to work towards her goal of becoming a Wonderbolt. Now she had an awesome sister, was sharing her cloudominium with dinosaurs, and she was married to a hybrid that had won her heart more than any stallion.

"Kinda weird for all of this to be happening, huh Indominus?"

"You said it Rainbow, this day seemed a lot more distant when we agreed to this a year ago. Now we'll be starting our new lives together, with a family that can't be bested by anything."

"You've got that right brother," T-Rex said as he and the raptors joined Indominus and Rainbow. "We'll be there for each other no matter what, now that we're a family at last."

"Agreed. We won't leave anypony behind or when they're down," said Blue.

"We'll have your back Rainbow Dash, and we'll handle every problem together," Charlie added.

"Thanks girls, it means a lot to have your support, but there's somepony whom I need right now to make this perfect. Speaking of which, here she comes now."

Scootaloo came running over having spotted all of her new family together. She leaped onto Rainbow's back and hugged her around the neck.

"Miss me big sis?"

"This family isn't perfect unless you're in it Scoots. After all, you're the sole reason all of this is happening."

Rainbow reached a hoof behind her and nuzzled Scootaloo's mane. As she did, Tyrannosaurus and Indominus nuzzled the young filly too. They could never forget that Scootaloo was the reason why they had such a welcoming world and amazing friends. Blue and her girls joined in the family comfort and the ponies and dragons around were all touched by the warming sight.

As the afternoon went by, the dinosaurs were starting to get worn out from all the excitement. They had danced with the Mane Six, Crusaders and a few dragons that were bold enough. Indominus had discussed his training plans among the dragons so they could relay it to Smaug. He even had taken some time to get down with Discord and really bust a move with his chaotic pal. Rainbow and Fluttershy giggled at seeing the two hybrids dancing together with such great spirit, they truly seemed like an separable pair of friends.

They had all just finished posing for a group photo when they heard Celestia speak to them.

"It's so wonderful to see all of you enjoying each other's company." Discord materialized by her after she had spoken.

"Well Celestia, Indominus is the first creature I've ever been able to relate to. Luna did herself proud by bringing them here."

"She sure did and I'm pleased that you've taken such a liking to Indominus, Discord. I actually have something planned for the newlyweds, and you can help out with this if you'd like."

Discord stared dumbstruck at Celestia, she was giving him permission to help with something she had planned for Indominus and Rainbow Dash.

"Oh I'd be delighted. How may I be of service to them Celestia?"

"I'll tell you after I give them this." Celestia levitated a brochure over to Rainbow and Indominus who were stumped at what the Princess had in mind. The dinosaurs were all perplexed, but Twilight and the others all had big grins on their faces.

"What is this Celestia," Rainbow asked after seeing the brochure in front of them.

"That, Rainbow Dash, is where you and Indominus will be spending your honeymoon. Luna and myself have booked you lovebirds a paid two week stay at the Golden Pony hotel in Applewood."

Every pony in the area cheered in delight, the Golden Pony was one of the most extravagant and best hotels in all of Equestria. Known for its fabulous food, disco ballrooms and pristine rooms, it was a hotel that any pony would die to stay at. Unfortunately only the most wealthy ponies could afford to stay there, so for Indominus and Rainbow to have a paid two week honeymoon there was a dream come true.

"The brochure also includes passes for all the rides at Las Pegasus. We've booked the penthouse suite in advance, both the hotel and Las Pegasus have been notified about your arrival and are expecting you tonight."

"Tonight? But we don't have any bags packed."

"I've taken care of that for you darling," said Rarity. She levitated a black suitcase over to Rainbow Dash and added "I've put together some special dresses for you to wear so you can knock Indominus off his feet when you two are dancing, and when you want him all to yourself. I even made a special suit for him to wear too."

Rainbow Dash blushed slightly at what Rarity was implying, but was glad that she came prepared. "Thanks Rarity, but how are we going to pay for anything at Las Pegasus?"

"I believe I can cover that for us Rainbow. Discord, could you transport my coin pouch with enough bits to last us for two weeks?"

"You got it pal." Discord snapped his claws and Indominus had the coin pouch in his hand, bulging with enough bits to last.

"That should take care of anything we want while we're there, anything else we should be forgetting Rainbow?"

"Nope, I think that covers everything, I just have one question. When does our carriage arrive?"

"It should be arriving any minute now," said Luna.

"Thank you so much for giving us this time together Princesses. I don't know how to thank you both for this."

"It's no trouble at all Rainbow Dash, it's the least we could do to give you and Indominus a lovely time together, especially after the trouble you too went through at the Gala."

"Before we head out though, can you sing a song for us Twilight?"

"Sure Rainbow, but which one did you have in mind?"

"Oh you know, the same one that you sang at Cadence and Shining Armor's wedding."

It took Twilight a minute to remember, but when the song clicked in her mind she knew which one Rainbow was referring to. She agreed to sing it, but wanted Blue and her squad to sing with her for the special occasion. She handed each of the raptors a mic, while Pinkie got Vinyl ready and Indominus and Rainbow got close for their dance.

As the beautiful music started up, everypony and the dragons watched as Rainbow and Indominus danced while resting their heads on each others shoulders. Scootaloo still couldn't get over how much she loved seeing her sister being so happy with one of the dinosaurs that had kept them safe all this time. The dragons got the courage to dance with the others and nopony seemed frightened by them, and as all the ponies joined the married couple, Twilight and the raptors began singing the lovely tune.

Twilight:Love is in bloom

Blue: A beautiful bride,

Delta: A handsome groom,

Echo: Two hearts, becoming one

Charlie: A bond, that cannot be undone, because

Twilight/Blue/Delta/Echo/Charlie: Love is in bloom

A beautiful bride, a handsome groom

I said, love is in bloom

You're starting a life and making room

For us (For us, For us....)

"No matter what happens we'll always be together, right Rainbow," Indominus said softly.

"Of course Indominus, nothing will take you away from me again."

Blue: Your special day

Delta: We celebrate now,

Twilight: the pony way

Charlie: Your friends, are all right here

Echo: Won't let these moments disappear, because

Twilight/Blue/Delta/Echo/Charlie: Love is in bloom

A beautiful bride, a handsome groom

I said, love is in bloom

You're starting a life and making room

For us (For us, For us....Aah...)

Rainbow and Indominus shared a kiss as Twilight and the raptors finished the song. As they parted their lips, Rainbow felt the need to say it again.

"BEST WEDDING EVER!!!" No matter what the future would hold, they would face it as a team.

Later after the song was over and the sun was starting to set, the ponies and dragons gathered on the streets as the carriage arrived. When it touched down, Discord seemed a little disappointed that Celestia had chosen something so bland for Rainbow and Indominus.

"You call this effective transportation Celestia? These two deserve better than this." Celestia merely gave the Lord of Chaos a smug smile and said to him.

"This is where you get to contribute Discord. You get to modify the carriage any way you like and, you get the privilege of taking them to Applewood." Discord's eyes lit up and his face turned into a wide grin.

"In that case, let's make this into a ride worthy of their stature."

Discord snapped his claws and the carriage was transformed into a stretch limousine. It had a glimmering black paint job that shimmered in the light and looked so well done. It certainly wasn't what any of the ponies had expected from Discord.

"Wow Discord, this is really professional of you," said Twilight who still couldn't believe that Discord had made something so magnificent.

"Why thank you Twilight, Indominus is my friend, so he and his girl deserve the best. Now for the newlyweds opinions, what do you two think of your ride?"

"I think it looks fantastic Discord," said Indominus.

"I've always wanted to take a ride in a fancy vehicle, it works for me too Discord."

"Splendid, now for the right kind of transportation." Discord materialized in front of the pegasi that were strapped to the limo and released them.

"No need to worry boys, I've got this one. I'll just need to bring in a few of my friends from home."

Indominus knew that there were only a few creatures that Discord would possibly consider bringing to Canterlot. A bright light flashed around the carriage as Discord snapped his claws again. When the light faded, all the ponies were shocked by the creatures standing in front of the carriage. Indominus merely shook his head in disbelief at who Discord had decided to bring.

It was four of the monsters that the hybrids had befriended during their first afternoon of bonding. Discord had brought Zoa, Armored Lizard, Red-Eyes Black Dragon and King of Yamimakai. The monsters were all stumped by where they were and the ponies were on the verge of causing a panic, so Discord intervened to cease the tension.

"Easy everypony, these are friends of mine and Indominus. We met them during our first meeting and befriended them, they're going to help transport the newlyweds to their honeymoon location. Indominus, can you help calm down our friends here?"

Indominus flew in front of the monsters, and they relaxed upon seeing the creature that had gained their trust and respect for killing the Ultimate Obedient Fiend. Red-Eyes was glad to see his mentor again, they had spent quite a bit of time over the months honing each others skills.

"It's great to see you again boys, especially you Red-Eyes," said Indominus.

"You too Indominus, and you are finally married to that pony with the incredible power now?"

"Yes I am Red-Eyes, and Discord has brought all of you here to escort us to our honeymoon tonight. I'd feel very much obliged if all of you would do this for us, ok?"

The monsters looked at each other, and decided that they would agree for Indominus. He had spared their lives after all and Discord had given them a home in his dimension. It was the least they could do for the two hybrids. Indominus and Discord were glad that the monsters could cooperate on their behalf. Discord conjured up a pair of wings for Zoa and Armored Lizard so they could fly with Red-Eyes and King of Yamimakai.

Now that preparations were made, it was time for Rainbow and Indominus to be on their way. The dinosaurs bid their farewells to the dragons who thanked them for bringing them to such a grand occasion. They promised Indominus that Smaug would be brought up to speed on everything that happened, and flew back towards home. Indominus shared a group hug with the dinosaurs that had been with him since they had arrived in Equestria.

"It's going to be strange being without you guys."

"Don't worry about us Indominus," said T-Rex. "We'll be alright and we'll take good care of Scootaloo until you and Rainbow come back. You just enjoy your time with the pony you love, and we'll keep an eye on our girl."

"Don't do anything too risky Tyrannosaurus, I know about how you feel about Scootaloo. I don't want to come back and find out that she's carrying a child. She's far too young for that kind of responsibility."

"We'll keep T-Rex in line Indominus," said Delta. "We're not about to let that happen, besides, they need to get to know one another like you and Rainbow did. It'll be a long time before that happens, right T-Rex?"

"Yes, I know, I wasn't planning on doing that anyway Indominus. I've learned to be patient after seeing how long you waited to have your time with Rainbow. I'll be following your example until the time is right."

That put Indominus's mind at ease and he shared one last group hug with his brother and sisters before heading over to the Mane Six. Rainbow was being smothered in hugs from her friends, and being given all sorts of advice.

"Make sure you enjoy your time with Indominus," said Rarity.

"Dance your hooves off and make it the best time ever," Pinkie added.

"Have a wonderful time Rainbow Dash," said Fluttershy.

"Show that dinosaur the time of his life and make him feel loved like never before," said Applejack.

"Above all else Rainbow, have the time of your life." said Twilight.

"I will girls, and I'll make sure to make Indominus feel special tonight. Before I go however, there is somepony that I really have to thank for this."

Rainbow walked over to Scootaloo, who was waiting by the transformed limo.

"Scootaloo, none of this would've been possible without you. I imagine you'd probably be tired of hearing this, but you're the best little sister a pony could ask for." Rainbow pulled Scootaloo in close for a hug and whispered in her ear, "love ya Scoot."

"Love you too Rainbow Dash, and if it's not too much, I have a favor to ask of you and Indominus."

"What is it you wanted to ask us Scootaloo," Indominus asked as he walked over, having heard Scootaloo's little request.

"Well since you and Indominus are married now, I was just wondering, um..." Rainbow and Indominus noticed that Scootaloo was really nervous with finishing her request.

"Come on Scootaloo, what is it you want to tell us? It's nothing to be nervous about."

"Well, it's just that I was wondering, in addition to being my sister and one of my guardians.....can I call you two my mom and dad as well?"

As soon as the words escaped Scootaloo's mouth, Indominus and Rainbow were smothering her in hugs and kisses. Tears were streaming down their faces at the touching request Scootaloo had asked of them, Indominus had never thought he would be a father figure to anyone, but more impossible things had already happened to him.

"Of course you can Scootaloo," Indominus said tearfully.

"We'd love to be your parents too, once we get back we'll spend much more time with you squirt."

"Better yet, if you want to see us that badly, you can always fly over and visit us while we're away."

"Now we've gotta be on our way, we'll be back in no time Scoots, I promise."

"I know big sis. Have plenty of fun you two."

Indominus and Rainbow gave Scootaloo one last loving hug before they got into the limo. Indominus put the suitcase in the trunk while Rainbow tossed the bouquet out the sunroof, and despite Rarity and all the ponies scrambling for it, the flowers ended up in Fluttershy's hooves. Discord blushed from seeing the pony he cared most about holding the roses, but he couldn't think on that for too long. He had to get the new couple to their honeymoon.

"Alright boys, let's move." The monsters all ran forward flapping their wings and as the limo took off, Rainbow and Indominus waved back to their friends and family. The dinosaurs and ponies watched the carriage until it disappeared from sight.

"This was a pretty darn good wedding, don't ya'll think so," asked Applejack.

"I completely agree darling, those two are finally married and have quite the family with them as well," said Rarity.

"Plus, Rainbow is going to be my mom when she comes back."

"This is as much a great day for you as it is for them Scootaloo," said Twilight. "You've finally gotten the family that's been waiting for you all this time."

"Speaking of time, it's about time we head back home," said Blue. "Our girl is looking pretty tired from all the excitement."

"Do we have to Blue? I'm not (yawn) tired yet."

"Come on now Scootaloo, Indominus put us in charge while he and Rainbow are away. We promised to look after you, and that means getting you some shut eye." T-Rex nuzzled the sleepy filly and Scootaloo agreed.

She climbed into his little arms and the dinosaurs bid their farewells to everypony. The rest of the Mane Six left with them as they flew back home, each of them wondering what kind of fun Rainbow and Indominus were going to have.

Meanwhile, inside the limo, Rainbow and Indominus were holding each other having finally gotten their alone time. They were relaxing on a plush, leather interior with fancy music playing in the background. Discord was silently watching the lovers kiss from the back of his head. He wasn't really fond of the mushy stuff, but seeing how Indominus loved Rainbow so much he couldn't help but smile. There was no denying that Indominus and Rainbow were inseparable, they simply cared for each other too much.

"This is it, we're on our way to Applewood, Indominus," Rainbow said after breaking away from their kissing.

"Yeah, but I don't know anything about this place or Las Pegasus." Rainbow wrapped a hoof around Indominus's neck.

"Just stick with me big boy, and I'll show you around." Indominus wrapped one of his arms around his amazing wife and took in her marvelous beauty.

Rainbow couldn't help but notice that Indominus was giving her the most dreamy stare. He just seemed so mesmerized by her and couldn't take his eyes off her.

"What are you looking at Indominus? Is there something on my face?"

"Nope, I just can't believe how stunning you look right now. You look so much more fascinating up close and, now that you mention it, you do have a little something on your face."

"I do? Where?"

"Hold on, I'll get it." Rainbow was caught off guard when Indominus kissed her smack on the lips. She realized that he had been teasing her, and she returned the kiss, promising in her mind that she would get him back for it.

After half an hour had passed, Discord materialized inside the limo.

"Good evening, how are my passengers doing on this fine night?"

"Doing great Discord, but if you're here, who's driving this thing?"

"Ever hear of duplication spells Rainbow Dash? I can be in many places at once, but that's beside the point. Would either of you care for a liquid refreshment?"

Indominus and Rainbow took one glance at each other, and only one drink crossed their minds.

"Cider!"

"Cider!"

"Cider it is, coming right up."

Discord snapped his claw and a bucket full of ice and bottles of cider appeared in his lion paw. He set the bucket down, pulled two tall glasses from within it, handed them to the lovers and began shaking the bottle.

"Shaken, not stirred dinos and ponies." He popped the cork out of the bottle, levitated it over to the glasses and it began pouring into each one. Discord pulled the bottle back when it was finished and made two slices of apple appear on each glass. "For additional flavor if necessary, if you need anything else, just give me a holler. We should be above Applewood in the next twenty minutes."

"Thanks Discord," said Rainbow as Discord disappeared. "Well Indominus, let's have a toast to our new lives and what the future has in store for us."

The hybrid and pegasus clicked their glasses together and drank the delicious cider. Discord had done such a swell job with the drinks, that Rainbow was beginning to think that she had been wrong to doubt him for so long. Either that or all the time Indominus had spent with the lord of chaos was making Rainbow seem him in a friendlier light. When they were finished, Rainbow set her glass down and looked out the window to her right.

"Indominus, you've gotta see this." The hybrid crawled over to the window and saw an amazing sight beneath them.

The ground was covered in bright lights and really lit up the night sky. It was strange to see the world from such a different perspective, and yet it looked so amazing to Indominus. He had never seen so much of the world before, and now on this special night he was getting to see more of it for the first time. Indominus was loving Equestria more and more each day, but he was pulled from the lights when he caught sight of a building ahead that stood out from all the others.

"Hey Rainbow, do you think that building over there could be the Golden Pony Hotel?"

Rainbow looked to where Indominus was pointing and caught sight of the building he was talking about. It was decked out in shimmering lights and there were searchlights scanning all over the sky, as if the whole building were expecting somepony to arrive.

"If I had to guess, I'd say that's gotta be it. Oh, wait a minute, I just got a great idea for how we can make a grand entrance." Rainbow went to the front of the limo and tapped on the glass to get Discord's attention. "Discord, stop the limo."

Almost immediately the monsters froze in place and the limo jolted to a halt in mid-air.

"What's up Rainbow, we're almost above the hotel. Don't you want to land the car first?"

"Actually, I was thinking about me and Indominus flying down to the hotel once we get directly above it and giving those ponies a grand entrance."

"Ah I see, very well then, I'll transport your bags upstairs so you won't have to worry about them slowing you down." Discord snapped his claws and sent the suitcase to the penthouse. "Alright boys, take us right above the hotel, these two want to make a grand entrance."

The monsters flew ahead and stopped when they were directly over the hotel, down below they could see just how many ponies had been notified. The entrance to the hotel was packed with ponies who were looking up at the limo in anxious anticipation, each of them eager to see the new bride and groom. Discord materialized the monsters inside the limo, while keeping it suspended so they could give their goodbyes to Indominus and Rainbow. Each of the monsters gently held Rainbow's hoof when she thanked them, and it showed her that there was a lot more to them than she thought.

"See Rainbow, even monsters can have hearts," Indominus said while shaking claws with Red-Eyes. "Thank you all for doing this favor for us, it really means a lot."

Armored Lizard, Zoa, Red-Eyes and King of Yamimakai all took a knee and bowed to the couple in a loyal display of respect. Discord applauded the creatures and then got his chance to wish the newlyweds good luck. Since he was so new to this sort of thing, the Lord of chaos didn't have the right words to use. Luckily, Indominus knew what to do and pulled Discord into a hug.

"Come now, we're friends, there's nothing wrong with friends giving each other hugs, is there?"

"No, but I didn't think that this is how you would thank me for giving you two a lift. Yet, it does feel nice to be welcomed by somepony that's so similar to me."

"Think nothing of it Discord, just keep being your chaotic self and do your best to win Fluttershy's feelings. Who knows, maybe she'll start seeing you in the same light that Rainbow sees me in."

"Thanks Indominus, that means a lot knowing that you're supporting me," Discord said as he returned Indominus's hug.

"Ahem, I hate to interrupt the friendly moment, but we've got ponies to greet Indominus."

"Oh, right." Indominus and Discord separated from their hug and Rainbow walked over to give her thanks.

"Thanks for doing this Discord, you're not as bad as I thought you were," said Rainbow as she extended her hoof.

"Why you're welcome Miss Dash, that's one of the nicest things you've ever said to me," Discord replied as he bumped her hoof with his lion paw. "Now to prepare the runway for you two."

Discord rolled out his tongue and it turned into a stiff carpet that rolled out the doors and held its place in the air. Rainbow and Indominus tested it before they made their run and it held firm against them. They readied themselves and got ready to begin their run.

"Alright Indominus, let's do this."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPoS0EOjDSU

The hybrid dinosaur and pony sprinted forward and out the doors of the limo. As they took off, Discord shouted to them.

"Have fun you lovebirds!"

As they ran down the runway, Indominus and Rainbow spread their wings for when they would make their descent. Once they reached the end of the runway, they dove for the ground and the front of the hotel that was swarmed with ponies. The monsters waved goodbye and Discord decided to take them home for the night.

"Alright boys, we've done our job for the night, now let's go back home for some nightmare movies and popcorn." The monsters growled in delight, so Discord snapped his fingers again and the limo disappeared out of the sky.

Indominus and Rainbow continued to dive for the entrance to the hotel while passing glances at each other for the night they were about to have. The lovers were giving each other kind and deep looks while diving for the ground. The closer they got, the bigger the hotel seemed to get along with the ponies. They could even hear the ponies cheering for them now that they could see the newlyweds for themselves. Once the ponies below noticed that Rainbow and Indominus were getting closer, they began backing up to make more room for the bride and groom. The couple began slowing their descent as they prepared to make their landing.

Indominus and Rainbow touched down with a superhero style landing, each of them had a knee in the ground, one arm to the side and another buried into the ground. The ponies all around them applauded and cheered in great excitement, and all the applause was more than what Rainbow or Indominus had expected. The staff of the hotel immediately came in on all sides to help shield them from the swarming guests. Indominus gave a lot of them waves to show that he wasn't ignoring them, Rainbow did the same to be courteous. They could even hear what some of the ponies were shouting to them over the roar of noise.

"Indominus, you're amazing!"

"Rainbow Dash you are so lucky!"

"Give em a smooch for us."

As the couple walked up to the entrance, they were greeted by the owner of the hotel. A tall, bright yellow unicorn by the name of Goldenrod who was wearing a fancy suit and bow tie. Indominus shrank down so he could get a better look at the owner of the hotel.

"Welcome to the Golden Pony Hotel, Rainbow Dash and Indominus Rex. My name is Goldenrod, and let me say that it is an honor to have one of the Elements of Harmony and one of the Guardians of Equestria as our guests this evening."

"Oh, we're very honored to be here ourselves Mr. Goldenrod," said Rainbow.

"Please, just Goldenrod is fine. There's no need to be so formal around me, I've known about the two of you for quite a while."

"How do you know about us exactly" Indominus asked.

"Why, I've been reading about you ever since that fateful day when your whole family destroyed Black Death. News like that spreads around Equestria pretty fast, and I couldn't believe it. Then about a month ago, when Princess Luna and Celestia visited to make the arrangements for your stay, I was so eager to meet you two in person. I hope you'll enjoy your time at our grand hotel, just follow me and I'll help get you two settled in for the night."

"You heard him Rainbow Dash, let the night begin."

"I'm right behind you Indominus."

Rainbow and Indominus followed Goldenrod through the double doors of the hotel, with the numerous guest right behind them. The night of their honeymoon had only just begun, and the lovers were going to be in for plenty of excitement inside the Golden Pony.

Author's Notes:

Well, this is it everyone. The sequel a lot of you have been waiting for is finally here. This story might be more intense that what family of a lifetime had. There will be strong scenes, plenty of action and torn decisions. For now, enjoy Rainbow and Indominus's honeymoon and enjoy the sequel to my great first tale.

Getting Settled and Having a Grand Feast

Author's Notes:

Be warned, this chapter might make you really hungry. If you don't have food with you while reading this, you might want to do that.

While Goldenrod led them to the front desk, Rainbow and Indominus could see how the Golden Pony Hotel got its name. The inside was shining and the walls were shimmering like gold fresh from a cave. All the authentic decor was golden to the last touch, and there was something for every guest to do. There was a massive dining hall and ballroom for those who were looking to eat or dance the night away. It even had complimentary hot tubs and an expansive garden for any couples who just wanted some time to themselves. It truly was a hotel that could appeal to any guest's desires or make a couple feel so at peace and relaxed.

The yellow unicorn at the front desk was shocked when Goldenrod introduced the new couple to him.

"M-Mr Goldenrod sir, are they-"

"Yes they are Shining Star, these are Indominus Rex and Rainbow Dash. They are our guests of honor tonight, please inform the rest of the staff so these two can have a wonderful time at our fine hotel."

"Yes of course sir," Shining Star said as he left the front desk to greet the newlyweds. "Welcome Rainbow Dash and Indominus Rex, it's a great pleasure to have you both here."

"We're glad to be here ourselves," said Rainbow Dash.

"I believe we have a reservation under our names for this lovely evening?"

"Why of course Mr. Indominus, just one second." Shining Star quickly got his reservation book and started going through the names. He had made sure to mark the reservation to help him remember. :Here we are, I've found your reservation and the penthouse has been prepared for you. Dinner will be ready in thirty minutes, I'll have one of our staff come get you when it's time."

"Splendid, I could use a good meal."

"First, we've gotta get settled in our room, Indominus."

"Allow me to show you two to your room for the night," Goldenrod said as he collected the key to their room and guided the lovers over to the elevator. Indominus could hear Shining Star wishing them a great night as they got inside the elevator, and noticed that plenty of ponies were still watching them.

The elevator ride was rather unpleasant for Indominus, being cramped in one space with so many ponies was unnerving to him. It didn't help that the elevator was covered with glass, so he could see everything around him on the way up. Rainbow had to constantly stroke his face to keep him calm, any sudden movements and he could cause the whole elevator to crash. The ponies on board were taking notice and didn't move around or talk much, so Rainbow could keep Indominus at ease. The hybrid was incredibly grateful that so many ponies were understanding and respectful.

When they finally got off at the top level of the hotel, Goldenrod was deeply sorry for the discomfort the elevator had caused Indominus. On the way to the room, he kept expressing his concern for Indominus's safety.

"I had no idea that being in an elevator could cause you such discomfort Indominus."

"I'm just not used to riding in them, that was my first time being in such a confined space."

"I think I do have a solution, I'll let you use the private elevator that only I or the staff use. No guests are allowed to use it, but in your case we can make an exception. Well here we are."

The group was standing in front of a door that seemed far more fancy and stood out more than the others. Goldenrod turned the lock and when they stepped inside, Rainbow and Indominus were rendered speechless at the room before them. The penthouse was much bigger on the inside and there were divine couches and fancy chairs in the main room. The glass windows were lined with red curtains and gave a fantastic view of the outside and the garden. The bedroom had a massive bed laden with gold sheets, a mini fridge and a bathroom that could fit both pegasus and dinosaur. This truly was a room that was worthy of only the most wealthy ponies in Equestria, and Rainbow and Indominus had the privilege of using the room for two weeks.

"I didn't anything this fancy was possible, we've gone right to paradise Indominus."

"Yeah we have Rainbow, this is simply amazing."

"Glad you two like it so much. Make yourselves comfortable and one of our staff will be along in a while to bring you two to dinner. Enjoy your stay," Goldenrod said as he set the key down on the table and shut the doors to give the lovers time to take in their room.

The lovers took a minute to walk about their room and survey everything, Indominus could easily walk about the room without bumping into anything. Rainbow was flying at the height of the glass windows and looking out towards the garden. She saw all the couples that were walking together, and noticed a huge gazebo near the edge of the garden. It would make a perfect spot for her and Indominus to spend time and dance together. Rainbow could hardly wait for everything to happen tonight, she intended to have a magical time with her new hybrid husband.

Indominus had wandered into the bedroom and noticed that the suitcase and coin pouch were sitting by the pillows. Discord had followed through, and Indominus could hardly wait to see what kind of dresses Rarity had packed for Rainbow to wear on their honeymoon. Indominus set the coin pouch on a nightstand, put the suitcase beside the bed and decided to rest for a while. His body simply melted into the fancy bed and his head felt so relaxed against the golden pillow. He felt his eyes closing from the comfort and was about to pass out when he heard his wife from the doorway.

"Getting comfy and ready for bed already are we?" Indominus perked his head up and gave a smile at his wife's teasing tone.

"Nothing wrong with trying out our bed, is there? Though I suppose the comfort is making me pass out, I'll get up." He was about to get up when Rainbow stopped him.

"Don't bother getting up babe, I'll join you."

Rainbow flew over to the bed and laid herself down beside Indominus, she snuggled close to his body so they were only a few inches apart. She increased her size until she was as big as Indominus, and put one of her hooves to her face.

"I can't believe we get to have all this time to ourselves, it'll be just as amazing as our first date."

"I don't know Rainbow, that date was pretty amazing, it'll take a lot of effort to make our time here just as wonderful." Rainbow pulled Indominus's face closer to her and whispered in his ear.

"As long as we're together, all the time that we spend here will be magical regardless." Rainbow then followed up with a deep kiss that sent heat flowing throughout Indominus's body, he slowly closed his eyes and kissed her back.

The pair became lost in each other's embrace and were losing track of time altogether. All that mattered was that they had a grand night ahead of them, and they were going to shower each other in all the love and affection they could summon. Indominus took a moment to catch his breath and look upon the cyan mare that was blushing bright red from all the affection she had given him.

"You've become so bold and if I must say, a little on the perverted side, Miss Dash."

The rainbow mare coiled her tail around Indominus's and tangled them together.

"It's because you've become part of my life Indominus, no other pony has fascinated me the way you have. When I'm with you, I feel so at peace and happy with my life."

"Save more of that lovely talk for our time in the garden, my little Dashie. It'll be worth it."

Indominus had just begun kissing Rainbow again, when they heard knocking at their door. The lovers glanced at each other sheepishly.

"Guess we used up our half hour of free time."

"It's dinner time already, let's go stuff our faces," said Indominus as he untangled his tail with Rainbow's.

The pair walked back out into the living room and opened the door. They were greeted by a green unicorn who had a big smile on her face like a fan at a convention.

"Oh my gosh! Indominus Rex, Rainbow Dash, I'm so thrilled to meet you both this evening. I'm here to escort you both to dinner. Follow me please."

Rainbow made sure to tuck the key to their room under wing so they wouldn't be locked out. The employee led them away from the usual elevators and to a special elevator that was labeled for "staff and special guests only".

"This is the special elevator that Goldenrod told me you had permission to use Indominus. I think you'll find it to be far better than the others."

When they stepped inside, Indominus found that the elevator was much bigger than the others and he didn't feel so confined. Rainbow was glad that Indominus was at peace and not panicking about the confined space. He could breathe more easily and enjoy the trip down to the lobby. Once the doors opened, they were greeted by eager ponies that were still hoping to get a glance at the new couple.

The green unicorn guided them away from the prying eyes and led them to a pair of massive, golden double doors. They reminded Rainbow of their own room, for only a great room could lie beyond doors so overdone.

"Welcome newlyweds, to the Dining Hall." the staff pony said as he opened the door. When the doors parted completely, Rainbow and Indominus's jaws dropped to the floor and their tongues rolled out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sds9Me67e0E

The hall before them was packed to the brim with buffet carts, dozens of tables, and countless ponies getting in line at each cart to fill their plates. They noticed Goldenrod was greeting guests at the far end and motioned for them to come in when he noticed them at the entrance. Rainbow could hear Indominus's stomach growling as they walked into the Dining Hall and couldn't help but giggle. The other guests also heard the dinosaur's hungry stomach, and Goldenrod told the staff to get something from the kitchen.

"Guess Canterlot didn't have enough food to handle your appetite huh? Come on you scaly rascal, let's get us some grub."

Rainbow got in line with the other guests, but Indominus was stopped by Goldenrod and some of the chefs.

"Now hold on Indominus, we've got a special table prepared just for you."

"You do? What kind of food did you prepare for me?"

"Princess Celestia and Princess Luna told us of your 'special' diet needs. So I've had a table prepared solely for you and nopony else. Follow me."

Indominus followed Goldenrod and the chefs away from Rainbow and most of the guests. They led the hybrid to purple curtain, but strangely, Indominus could pick up a delicious smell coming from behind the curtains. A smell that reminded Indominus of the animals he had hunted in the Everfree, only more fresh and sweet.

"Prepare yourself Indominus, for this is going to be a feast fit for a king," Goldenrod said as the chefs pulled away the curtains. When they did, Indominus was sure he was going to drool a lake onto the floor from the food laid out before him.

The table was filled with all sorts of cooked meats and sizzling, juicy delicacies that Indominus had never seen before. The aroma from the cooked meats and culinary dishes drifted towards him and up his scaly nostrils. The dinosaur relished the amazing scent and had to look all over the table to make sure he wasn't hallucinating. As he did, Goldenrod went and explained each dish to the hungry dinosaur that was checking out all the food.

"What you're seeing is freshly roasted turkey, Manehatten pot roast, maple baked ham, and cooked prime, roast beef. For the other dishes we have Vanhoover chowder, cinnamon dumplings, corn on the cob and apple cinnamon pie. For beverages, we've provided a vast supply of cider and juices for any flavor you'd want." Indominus eagerly licked his toothy jaws, each dish sounded so delicious that he couldn't wait to dine, but Goldenrod had something special waiting for afterwards. "If you're still hungry after all this Indominus, we have a special treat waiting in the kitchen if you want the main course."

"I'm sure I'll have room for all the food you have planned Goldenrod, and thank you all for preparing this much food for me. I truly am grateful for it." Indominus pulled himself away from the table to thank the chefs and Goldenrod, and shake their hooves for the glorious buffet.

"You're quite welcome Indominus," said one of the chefs. "Now eat to your heart's content, we'll be back to see if you have room for more later."

Indominus approached the beautifully prepared table and took one of the turkeys in his claws. He took one bite out of the bird and chomped down on the cooked meat. The dinosaur took the time to enjoy each bite before swallowing. Instantly, his eyes lit up from the delicious taste, he shoved the whole turkey in his mouth and started crunching down. The sound of bones crunching echoed in the hall and the ponies heard more crunching as Indominus dove into the table and began devouring all the food in sight.

Rainbow had just gotten her plate full and sat down when she heard the crunching. She saw Indominus going to town on all the meat and food made for him, and she couldn't help but giggle at seeing Indominus enjoying food so much. It was no doubt more than any meal he had ever eaten in his life. Some of the guests had sat down with her and were astonished by how Indominus was devouring his meals.

"Your husband sure has some appetite."

"Yeah he does," Rainbow said while enjoying her own meal.

"How did you ever fall in love with one of the Guardians?"

"Well, we met while he was protecting me and my sister Scootaloo from her abusive parents. We bonded during the brawl, we had our first date a few months afterwards and got to know one another. He makes me feel so happy and special, like I'm the most important pony in Equestria. After I brought him and his friends back from the dead, I can understand why."

"Wow, that's really noble and loyal of him. Just out of curiosity, does he always eat like that?"

"Heh heh, only when he gets a meal that is truly satisfying."

"Well if must say Rainbow Dash, you've got yourself a true husband." One of the guests spotted the Arkenstone around Rainbow's neck and was marveled by it.

"Did he pick that ring himself?"

"He sure did."

"A dinosaur that's brave, strong, devoted and has excellent taste in jewelry? Now that is what I call a real diamond in the rough."

"He sure is," Rainbow was getting lost from staring dreamily at Indominus. Despite how he was chewing away at the food, that was just part of who he was. She loved him because Indominus was true to himself and just as loyal as herself. She decided to pardon herself from the table once her plate was finished, and see how her husband was enjoying his meal.

Indominus was still having the time of his life devouring the tasty food before him, but he had cleared almost everything. There were only two pies left and he was chomping on a juicy pot roast when Rainbow walked over.

"So, how are you enjoying the food, big boy," Rainbow said in a teasing tone.

Indominus finished swallowing the delicious pot roast before he answered Rainbow's question.

"It's so divine and tasty, babe. I never knew such great food existed. Care to have one of the last pies with me?"

"Of course Indominus."

The couple chowed down on their pies together, and Goldenrod walked by after spotting all the eaten dishes.

"I see you really took a liking to our food Indominus. Has everything been what you expected?"

"Oh, everything and more. Your food is the best I've had so far," Indominus said after finishing the last of the pie.

"I second that," said Rainbow Dash.

"So, do you have enough room left for that special treat I told you about earlier?" Indominus rubbed his stomach and felt a little rumble, indicating that he still had room for one more dish.

"Bring it on Goldenrod, I've got room for your best dish." Goldenrod laughed at Indominus's response.

"That's what I was hoping for, alright boys, bring out the main course."

While some of the staff cleared the table of the plates, Goldenrod went back into the kitchen to get the main dish. Rainbow decided she had to see what the chefs were going to prepare for Indominus. He returned a while later, but kept the doors open while calling back into the kitchen.

"Be careful, we don't want it to get damaged before Indominus gets to eat it."

The chefs carefully walked out the doors, levitating a humongous dish in front of them. When Indominus got a closer look, he was sure he had found the grand daddy of all meats. The chef ponies were levitating on a massive plate, the biggest roasted boar that Indominus had ever laid eyes on. It was at least two times the size of his shrunken self, and looked so juicy that the dinosaur was almost unable to contain himself.

"This is one of the most rare cooked meals you will ever see Indominus. This boar took awhile to find, and even more time to prepare into a meal. I truly hope that it satisfies your stomach," said Goldenrod.

"Oh believe me, by the time I'm finished with this pig, there won't be enough meat left to feed a rat," Indominus said before ripping off a chunk of the roasted meat, chomping it up and swallowing it. The second the meat hit his stomach, Indominus's eyes lit up and he bellowed, "I'm gonna have a field day with this boar tonight!"

The hybrid dinosaur dove right into the roasted boar and began biting and chomping away at the flesh. Ponies could hear the loud crunching again, only there were little to no breaks in-between. Indominus was gulping down massive quantities of the boar and Rainbow could see a big smile on his face while he was eating. Then out of nowhere, she suddenly had the urge to want to try the food for herself. So she nudged Indominus to try and get his attention, the dinosaur pulled his flesh covered nose out of the pig with his mouth full of meat.

"So Indominus, how's the main course taste?" The hybrid swallowed the meat in his jaws so he could answer his girl's question.

"It's so amazing and tasty, I can't get enough of it."

"Would it be alright if, I could try some of it?" The question caught Indominus by surprise, he didn't think Rainbow Dash would ever eat cooked meat, but it made him happy that she was willing to try for herself.

Indominus ripped off a chunk and held it at the end of his jaws. Rainbow tried to take it away from him, but Indominus wouldn't relinquish the flesh in his mouth. Then Rainbow realized the game that Indominus was trying to play, and gave her husband a sly stare.

"Any opportunity you can get to play this game huh? Alright Indominus, I'll play along," Rainbow said before taking a bite of the meat.

She had to admit that it did taste pretty good, and she continued to eat away at the rest until she and Indominus were kissing after the last piece had been eaten. The dinosaur was getting good at the teasing games to get Rainbow to kiss him, and when they parted lips Indominus noticed that Rainbow had partially changed. She had the razor teeth like when she transformed, but the rest of her remained the same. She was slightly shaking after eating the meat, and she didn't know why.

"Indominus, why do I feel so strange, and why are my teeth sharp when I didn't even tap into my power?"

"I believe you are experiencing the instincts of a predator. Since you recieved your power from me, you must've gotten part of my nature, and it's causing you to crave meat after you saw the boar."

"I won't hurt anypony., will I?"

"No, you won't hurt anypony, your body just wants to taste more of the boar. So why don't we dine together, since we are husband and wife now?"

"Yeah, I'd like that. So what are we waiting for, let's dig in."

The crunching intensified as Indominus AND Rainbow Dash began devouring the roasted boar. The guests were a little frightened at the sight of a pony eating something other than vegetables or apples, but given that she was married to a dinosaur, it made sense for her to try some of his foods. The couple had happy looks on their faces as they continued to chomp away at the insides of the pig. Rainbow's stomach was growling in contentment now that she was getting a real taste of the main course. If anypony else saw them eating the way they were, it would've looked like a carnivore feeding frenzy. Rainbow and Indominus ate away at their meal in peace, like the married couple they were meant to be.

After about twenty minutes of feasting, the boar had been stripped down to the bones that Indominus hadn't crunched up. He and Rainbow left the Dining Hall, rubbing their stomachs and fully satisfied for the evening. They made sure to really thank Goldenrod and the staff for giving them such an incredible feast, despite all the dishes that had to be cleaned. The staff didn't mind, they were glad that their effort was being so appreciated and that a couple loved their food so much. Goldenrod told Rainbow and Indominus that the main ballroom would be starting the dances in an hour and a half, so they could have time to get ready. The pegasus and dinosaur went back to their room, ready to let their stomachs settle, and to dance the night away.

Dancing, Serenading and a Beautiful Night

Author's Notes:

Lots of songs and plenty of love in this chapter. Shippers, for those of you that support Rainbow and Indominus as a couple, this will be your chapter.

After they had dined and feasted on their fabulous dinner, Indominus and Rainbow were relaxing in their hotel room until it was time to head down to the ball room. Rainbow chilaxed on one of the fancy chairs while Indominus lounged on the couch, they stared happily at each other with their stomachs full of amazing food.

"I've gotta hand it to you Indominus, you were right about the food. It was really tasty."

"For your first time trying meat, I'd say you did rather well in handling it Rainbow Dash. With some hunting experience, you might make a pretty good carnivore."

"Heh heh, here we are on our honeymoon and you still find ways to try and flatter me," Rainbow said while getting off the chair, walking over to the couch and climbing on top of Indominus. "Yet every time, you always manage to win me over. I don't know whether to tease you or kiss you smack on the scales. Oh, who am I kidding? I know exactly what to do for all your charming compliments."

Rainbow slowly wrapped her hooves around Indominus's neck and began kissing him. The hybrid returned her affection by wrapping his arms around Rainbow and gently holding her while he kissed his wife back. They had kissed so many times over the year, but every time felt as amazing as the first time when they had kissed on the battlefield after killing Black Death. Rainbow and Indominus simply loved each other too much to not show their feelings for each other. Rainbow's tail coiled itself around Indominus's in a loving embrace as the pair broke their kiss for a breath.

"How is it possible for a dinosaur like you to win my heart over, treat me like a goddess, and give me some of the best happiness I've felt in the longest time," Rainbow said while playfully tracing her hoof on Indominus's chest.

"Well let's see, we fought together against a pair of abusive excuses for ponies, brought down a dragon death machine with our family. Me and Tyrannosaurus shared the power that had been created out of yours and Scootaloo's love for us. We got to spend an incredible first date together, and had a wild afternoon. I proposed to you at the Gala, sang and danced with you and kissed you in the full light of the moon. You and Scootaloo brought us back from the dead, shall I continue? We were meant to be married my Dashie, because we're too good together," Indominus said as he gently ran his claws through Rainbow's mane.

The feeling of Indominus's claws running through her mane was so soothing that Rainbow just laid her head down on his chest and allowed the dinosaur to continue. From his perspective Rainbow looked so peaceful, and after everything she and Scootaloo had gone through to get the happiness they deserved, it was good to see his girl so content. However, he really wanted to make her feel special on the dance floor too, but still had to wait a while. So the couple just laid on the couch in peace, resting on top of each other and playfully teasing themselves.

After forty five minutes had passed, Indominus decided that it was a good time for them to start getting ready. Rainbow agreed, despite being so comfortable resting on her husband's scaly belly. Indominus was surprised when he opened the suitcase and found the suit that Rarity had put together for him. It was a sleek black, complete with bright glowing red lines along the sleeves, possibly as a gesture to his power. Indominus decided to put on the suit in the bathroom, but found that getting it on was tougher than he thought.

"Need a hand with the tux, Indominus?" The hybrid was shocked when he heard a voice that hadn't come from Rainbow Dash. He looked in the mirror and found Discord standing behind him.

"What in the devil are you doing here Discord? I thought you and the monsters were calling it a night."

"Oh we were, I simply wanted to wait until it was time for you to bust a move so I could get you into your suit, and give some friendly advice."

"What kind of advice did you have in mind for me Discord," Indominus said while the Lord of Chaos helped him into his suit.

"I just wanted to wish you good luck out there, and be more bold than you've ever been. T-Rex mentioned that you were planning on serenading Rainbow, so put your best foot out there and make her feel like the most special pony in the world."

"Discord, you wouldn't happen to be giving the same kind of advice that you've used during your time with Fluttershy, are you?" Indominus' sly remark caused a blush from Discord.

"What? Oh no no no no no no, I've just seen how much you care for Rainbow Dash. While she and I haven't quite gotten along with each other, I've never seen any pony make her smile the way you can. Do everything in your power to make Rainbow Dash feel like the most important pony ever, so that by the end of the night she'll be all over you and never want to leave your side."

"Alright Mr. Shipping Adviser. I'll make Rainbow feel wonderful tonight. By the way, I have to commend Rarity on her knack for making suits, because I look pretty darn good." Indominus admired his reflection and loved how his suit reminded him of the power that lurked within his soul. "Thanks for helping me in this Discord, it's nice to have a friend like you around."

"You're welcome Indominus, just don't let slip of me helping you like this, or Twilight and her friends will think I'm going too soft."

"My lips are sealed," said Indominus as he and Discord bumped fists. The Lord of Chaos snapped his fingers and disappeared as Rainbow began knocking on the door.

"Hey Indominus, what's taking ya so long in there? Did you have trouble putting on the suit, or did you decide to take a bathroom break?"

"No, I just needed a little more time to put the suit on. So tell me Rainbow, what do you think of it?"

Rainbow's eyes went wide once Indominus walked out of the bathroom, he looked so stunning in one of Rarity's suits. Rainbow was struggling to keep the blush on her face from being noticed, but she couldn't hide it from Indominus' keen eyesight.

"You like seeing me in a suit, don't you? Don't even try to deny it, I can see the blush spreading across your face."

"Ok ok, I think you look stunning in a suit," Rainbow said as she ran her hoof along Indominus' arm. "Rarity really outdid herself with those red marks, she must've used your transformed state for inspiration."

"That's exactly what I thought when I looked at this outfit, so now that I'm all ready to go, shall I wait for you?"

"Nah, you head on down to the dance floor, I want it to be a surprise for you and to see the look on your face when I show up."

"Very well my Dashie," Indominus said as he gave Rainbow a kiss on the cheek. "I'll be waiting for you on the dance floor."

Rainbow took the suitcase into the bathroom with her to try out her dress. While she was in there, Indominus decided to slid the window to their room open just a crack. He had his own idea for making the night magical once all the dancing was over, but for now he made his way out the door, towards the elevator and down to the main floor. When he got to the ballroom, Goldenrod was waiting at the entrance in a fancy suit himself. He was amazed at how well Indominus could pull off wearing a suit of his own.

"Wow Indominus, you clean up pretty good in a suit."

"Yeah, my friends did a great job putting this outfit together for me. Now, time for me to bust a move tonight."

"Actually, I've got a special entrance for you and Rainbow Dash. Speaking of which, where is she?"

"She told me to go ahead and that she would surprise me on the dance floor." Goldenrod's eyes lit up when he heard Indominus.

"That will actually make this even more special. Follow me Indominus, I'll let the staff notify me when Rainbow gets here."

Goldenrod led Indominus through the entrance to the ballroom and the hybrid dinosaur found himself swarmed by hundreds of guests. The staff formed a barrier around Indominus and forced the crowds to disperse. Goldenrod made his way to the main stage and grabbed a microphone to get the crowd's attention.

"Everypony, please give Indominus some space. We don't need him to be overwhelmed on his first night here." The ponies all parted away from Indominus and it gave him room to breathe. "That's better, now everypony it is my pleasure to welcome our honorary guests tonight, Indominus Rex and Rainbow Dash, who will be joining us shortly. Today was their wedding and the Princesses chose to book them a room at our lovely hotel for the next two weeks. So please everypony, make them feel welcome and accepted in our corner of excitement."

The ponies began applauding Indominus and he felt almost embarrassed from receiving so much acceptance from the guests. He distracted himself by taking in the ballroom. It was nice and spacious, had light up floors, a discoball hanging overhead and spotlights over most of the ceiling. This would be a great place for him and Rainbow to dance. He barely took one step forward when Goldenrod spoke on the mic again.

"Good news everypony, Rainbow Dash has arrived and will be entering from the other side of the ballroom. Make sure to give her plenty of space and start the music."

Indominus immediately turned his head as soon as he heard the door open. The spotlight instantly went on Rainbow as she walked into the ballroom, and Indominus felt his heart pounding a thousand miles an hour and swore he saw parts of his red power escaping his body just from seeing his wife. Rainbow was dressed in a light to dark purple dress complete with silver lacing, dark purple slippers and metallic light blue lightning bolts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGQeU1aKsFQ

The music began starting up as Rainbow stopped in the center of the dance floor, while Indominus was so paralyzed by the look she was giving him. She was tapping her hind foot and shaking her flank to the beat while giving Indominus the most seductive stare he had ever seen. It was like Rainbow was putting on a truly stunning show for Indominus and she was turning on the charm to make herself as attractive and hot as possible.

Indominus' and every stallion's jaw in the room dropped at the sight of the rainbow mare before them. Rainbow gestured with her wing for Indominus to join her, and as he walked over to his wife, the dinosaur thought to himself, "I'm so lucky tonight."

Rainbow Dash began singing a really upbeat and loving tune to her hybrid dinosaur, who had joined her on the dance floor. Everypony danced on the sidelines as the new husband and wife began their amazing night.

Do you remember that day (that sunny day)
When we had our first date
I said no one could take your place
And if you get hurt (if you get hurt)
By the little things they say
I will put that smile back on your face

And it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
Yeah

Indominus wrapped his arms around Rainbow's neck and stood behind her as he sang alongside his wife.

A love like ours
Can never fade away
You know it's only just begun, yeah baby
You give me your love (give me your love)
I just can't stay away no,
You know you are the only one

And it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from
Woo

Indominus was really getting into the groove and dancing on all fours with Rainbow Dash. He kept gazing into her eyes and found that she was still giving him the seductive stare. It was so alluring that Indominus couldn't pull himself away, in fact, it made him draw closer to Rainbow until they were dancing side by side. Indominus was completely at the mercy of his wife's seductive charm and she used the opportunity to steal a kiss from him while he was still gazing at her. The ponies that were dancing cheered Rainbow on as they witnessed the kiss. When Rainbow pulled away she whispered into Indominus' ear.

"That was for all those times you stole a kiss from me today, my dinosaur stud. I'm going to rock your world by the end of the night."

"Great minds think alike my daring Dashie. We'll be wrapped in each other's embrace once this is over, and be making love until the break of dawn."

And it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from

And it's alright and it's coming along
We gotta get right back to where we started from
Love is good, love can be strong
We gotta get right back to where started from

Once the song ended, the guests and staff erupted in applause and cheers for the new couple. Goldenrod handed the mic over to Rainbow so she could say a few words.

"Thank you so much everypony. Honestly, I never imagined that I'd ever be in a great place like this or having the greatest time of my life. But on that night over a year and a half ago, when Indominus and I first met, everything changed. Our time together since then has grown so much and now we are a married couple at last."

"Indeed we are Rainbow, and I wouldn't have it any other way. This pony captured my heart when I saw her doing so much to protect her sister, and now our daughter, Scootaloo. They showed me that there is a greater kindness in this world than I thought, and I want to repay this amazing pegasus for it. Which is why I'm going to sing a song of my own, and serenade my wife tonight."

The guests awwed at Indominus' request and the staff put on a soothing tune. Indominus didn't need the mic so he passed it back to Goldenrod. Indominus wasn't aware of it at the time, but Discord and the monsters were helping by providing backup vocals on the chorus line. He turned to face Rainbow Dash, held one hoof in his left hand while the other held her face and began singing to her in a deep and soft voice.

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I want to take ya
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, Rainbow we can tango, Jamaica
Off the Florida Keys, there's a place called Kokomo
That's where I'll take you so we'll get away from it all
Bodies in the sand, tropical drink melting in our hands
We'll be falling in love to the rhythm of a steel drum band
I will be yours for life

Aruba, Jamaica, ooh I want to take you to
Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama
Key Largo, Montego, Rainbow we can tango
Down to Kokomo,
We'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow
That's where we want to go, way down in Kokomo

Martinique, that Montserrat mystique

We'll go out to sea and perfect our chemistry
By and by we'll defy a little bit of gravity
Afternoon delight, huge feasts and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye, under Equestria's starlit sky
I'll never break your heart

Rainbow was so overtaken by Indominus serenading her that she hugged him and buried her face in his scales, while he continued to sing the song gently in her ears. The guests were so moved by how romantic Indominus was being that a few of them felt themselves tearing up over the beautiful sight. Rainbow was shedding tears of her own as the dinosaur's moving voice touched her soul and spoke to her heart. She was in such heavenly bliss from hearing Indominus singing such sweet things about her. When the song was over, she stared into her husband's eyes with tears in hers.

"You are so amazing Indominus," Rainbow said tearfully as she kissed him. "You truly are meant to be with me, so now I get my chance to serenade you."

"Make me feel just as special, as I have made you feel this evening my lovely Dashie."

Rainbow Dash wiped the tears from her eyes and motioned for the mic back from Goldenrod. He tossed it over and she caught it with her wing. Then a very touching and techno beat started as Rainbow took her turn to serenade Indominus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YV14KjbRIA

I still hear your voice when you sleep next to me
I still feel your touch in my dreams
Forgive me my weakness, but I don't know why
Without you it's hard to survive
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so I can't let you go
Want you in my life

Rainbow put a hoof to Indominus' face and he held it with his claws. She then took her left wing and began to stroke his face while she took her turn to tell him sweet things.

"I'm so glad you and I got to meet each other on that night."

"Me too, Dashie. I loved that time we spent bonding while defending Scootaloo.

The couple then slowly went airborne while Rainbow serenaded Indominus.

"You are the most incredible lover I've ever met. Nopony in all of Equestria can compare to the love and devotion you've shown me. I will forever love you Indominus Rex."

Rainbow put her face alongside Indominus' as he began to shed happy tears of his own. They were melting each other's hearts with their loving words, and enjoying every moment of it. The guests were overflowing with emotions of their own, they had never witnessed such a beautiful and strong pair before. Rainbow continued her song once she and her hybrid dinosaur had touched down.

Your arms are my castle, your heart is my sky
They wipe away tears that I cry
The good and the bad times we've been through them all
You make me rise when I fall
'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side
'Cause every time we touch, I feel the static
And every time we kiss I reach for the sky
Can't you hear my heart beat so I can't let you go
Want you in my life

The ponies were cheering with great energy, they were so moved by how much love Rainbow and Indominus had for each other. The serenading that was being exchanged between them was just too good and far too emotional for anypony to resist. The Golden Pony staff and Goldenrod himself were so grateful that they got to witness such a beautiful sight. Romance this powerful didn't happen in Equestria all that often. Rainbow and Indominus both had tears in their eyes as Rainbow finished her song and Indominus joined in on the final verse.

'Cause every time we touch, I get this feeling
And every time we kiss I swear I could fly
Can't you feel my heart beat fast, I want this to last
Need you by my side

They finished with a warm hug after the song had ended. The ponies were still cheering for them and many were giving praises to both of them for the great love that was shown between them. Indominus decided that he needed to give himself and his wife some air after all the excitement. So he thanked all the ponies for their support and led Rainbow Dash out to the garden where they could have some alone time. The music in the ballroom continued long into the night while the couple got some time to themselves.

Out in the garden it was much more peaceful and Indominus finally had time to talk with Rainbow. They chose to sit down on a bench underneath a gazebo and catch their breath after all the singing and dancing. Rainbow laid her wing down on Indominus' hand and stared into his crimson eyes.

"That was so wild Indominus, and it sure was lovely to hear what you said to me."

"Sure was and what a great song you chose to sing to me."

"Indominus, I hope that we can have moments like these more often like with our love sessions. I really love the time that we spend together."

"Why of course Dashie, you just have to ask me and I'll see to it that it happens. I'll do anything I can to make you feel special."

Rainbow brought Indominus' face in front of hers before she spoke again.

"You've always made me feel special Indominus. There isn't a moment we've shared where you haven't made me feel special. I always feel so alive and my life feels complete when you're around. Just promise you won't tell any of our friends about this, I wouldn't want them to know how I act when I'm around you."

Indominus put his hand on Rainbow's face and spoke softly.

"I won't breathe a word of what happens while we're here Rainbow Dash. Whatever happens between us on this trip, doesn't leave the hotel. It will be solely between you and me."

Just then, they heard a strange music coming from somewhere in the garden.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=quukTS8GcII

The pair spotted a piano and violin orchestra playing a slow and soft tune for them. Indominus saw that they were giving him and Rainbow a chance to have another slow dance. Indominus took the initiative and got down on one knee in front of Rainbow, who was stunned by his bold behavior.

"I know the others have told me how you feel about slow dances, but may I have this dance with you, my lovely and loyal Dashie?" Rainbow felt a powerful blush on her cheeks and gently placed her hoof in Indominus' hand.

"I've said it before, I'll say it again. With any other stallion I would say no, but you are the only exception I'll make. I'd love to dance with you Indominus Rex."

Indominus walked with Rainbow out from under the gazebo, stood in the center of the garden and the pair began to slow dance under the moonlight. Indominus gently wrapped his arms around Rainbow's body and held her close. She did the same with her hooves and they began to slow dance in perfect harmony with each other. Indominus increased his size slightly now that he had more room, and Rainbow followed suit. Both pegasus and dinosaur were so light and fluid with their movements, just like during the first fight they had fought in, the lovers were a united body and soul. The few ponies that were in the garden watched in silence from afar, so as to not interrupt the moment between the lovers.

The moonlight from above illuminated the dancing lovers, glimmering on them, dancing with their movements and strangely staying solely on Rainbow and Indominus. Every pony in the garden could see the moonlight shining on Rainbow and Indominus, lighting up their scales and fur. Both of them looked so mesmerizing and just so at peace in their little piece of heaven. The dinosaur had a pretty good idea of who was making the moment more beautiful for him and Rainbow Dash. Without disturbing the dance, Indominus glanced up at the moon where he could swear he saw glowing eyes, a mouth and a flowing mane staring back at him.

"Thank you Luna," Indominus said silently under his breath so Rainbow wouldn't be disturbed. She was resting her head against his body with a content and loving smile on her face.

Indominus watched as the face in the moon gave him a wink and saw the mouth move and whisper "you're welcome Indominus," before it faded.

Indominus then decided to tease Rainbow a little, now that they had their perfect peace.

"Rainbow?"

"Yeah?" Rainbow Dash looked up from her comfort into Indominus' eyes.

"Before you met me, did you ever believe in love at first sight?"

"Before I met you, I would've never even considered love. I didn't think it would ever be an important part in my life. When I met you however, I think that I was slowly becoming a believer. So yes, I do believe in love at first sight, now that you are part of my life." Rainbow went back to resting her head on Indominus' shoulder, and he could see that she was starting to get tired.

Indominus thanked the orchestra for giving them such a beautiful soundtrack to dance to, and took flight towards the penthouse window. He held Rainbow Dash in a princess cradle as he flew up to the window that he had slid open slightly in anticipation for their night of dancing. He pushed open the window with one arm, then closed it behind him after they got inside. Indominus gently laid Rainbow down on the golden bed and helped her take the dress off. After it was hung up, Indominus put Rainbow Dash into the bed first and pulled the covers over her. He then took his suit off and got into bed next to her.

Rainbow snuggled closer to Indominus and they shared another loving kiss. When they parted, Rainbow still had a few kind words left to say to her husband.

"I love you Indominus. I love you more than anything I could've ever received in my life."

The hybrid dinosaur laid his arm across Rainbow's body as he took one more turn.

"I will always love you with all my heart and soul Rainbow Dash. Promise you won't leave my side tonight?"

"Turn off the lights and I'll fall asleep in your embrace."

Indominus reached toward the light switch with his tail and pulled Rainbow right beside his body as the lights were turned off.

"Goodnight, my beautiful Dashie."

"Goodnight, my strong and lovely hybrid dinosaur."

First day of their lives together, and enjoying a hot bath

Author's Notes:

Sorry this chapter took a while to put up, internet was down for a few days. Regardless, it's another lovely chapter just like the last one. Fair warning, quite a few steamy moments in this chapter. Hope no one gets too overwhelmed with emotion or feels.

The morning sun had risen on the first day of Rainbow and Indominus' lives together as husband and wife. The night before had been a true blast that had left them both tired and worn out. The lovers were still sleeping soundly in each other's embrace as the sun tried to make its way through the curtains. its light slowly worked its way into the room and near Rainbow Dash. Indominus' face was shielded by the curtains from the bed, so he still slept soundly as Rainbow began to stir from her slumber.

Rainbow fluttered her eyes open and the first thing she saw was Indominus' face, looking so peaceful and relaxed while he was sleeping. She was still in his arms but his hold on her had loosened over the night and Rainbow had been able to snuggle against his body. She carefully wrapped her hooves around Indominus' body and snuggled against him again.

Mmmm, my Indominus, Rainbow thought to herself as she laid against his scaly body. Then she slowly worked her way towards Indominus' face without waking him, and brought her face closer to his.

"We never did get to fully love each other last night after all the dancing. I'm sure he won't mind if I show more of my love for him now," Rainbow said softly. She leaned forward and began giving soft kisses on Indominus' face.

She was giving kisses all over Indominus and the hybrid only moved slightly from the feeling. Rainbow felt slightly nervous about being so affectionate to him while he was sleeping, because she didn't want to disturb Indominus while he was sleeping so peacefully. Yet she couldn't help how much she enjoyed getting to show Indominus how much he meant to her. Then Rainbow decided to take it up a notch by gently singing to her hybrid dinosaur, as she got close and looked down on his face.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmI3upHbiqU

Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms,
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven

Rainbow got so daring that she did something that she had never done before. She bent forward and licked Indominus' face in a loving display of affection. It felt so strange to her and yet it also felt so right to show her affection to Indominus in such a manner. Her loving displays of affection were beginning to rouse Indominus from his slumber, and he barely opened one eye to see Rainbow showering him in love and kisses.

The hybrid decided to pretend that he was still sleeping while listening to Rainbow softly serenading him again. He couldn't resist hearing his wife giving her heart and soul to him in such an amazing way. He waited patiently for the right moment to join his wife on her serenading.

Oh, thinkin' about all our greater years,
There is only you and me,
We are young and wild and free
Now nothin' can take you away from me
We've been down that road before
But that's over now,
You keep me comin' back for more
Baby, you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms,
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
(We're in heaven)

Just as Rainbow moved in for another kiss, Indominus saw his chance to surprise her. He moved his head up in time and met her lips head on. Rainbow was surprised at first, but relaxed when she saw that Indominus had known about her loving affections. He pulled her in close and began to sing as well while he and his amazing pegasus stared into each other's eyes.

Now nothin' could change what you mean to me uh,
There's a lot that I could say
But just hold me now,
'Cause our love will light the way

Baby you're all that I want
When you're lyin' here in my arms,
I'm findin' it hard to believe
We're in heaven
And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
Heaven
Now our dreams are comin' true,
Through the good times and the bad,
I'll be standin' there by you
We're in heaven

Indominus placed his hand on Rainbow's chest while she placed her hoof on his. They were placed over each other's hearts as the serenading came to a close.

And love is all that I need,
And I found it there in your heart
It isn't too hard to see
We're in heaven
We're in heaven

"Morning, good looking and scaly."

"Morning my sweet, bold and flirtatious pegasus. You've definitely gotten more daring since our first date, Dashie."

"Well, you opened my eyes to somepony that can match my awesomeness, and win my heart all at once. I can't hold back my feelings too much when I'm around you," Rainbow said as she slowly ran her hoof along the dinosaur's body.

Indominus reached out and held the Arkenstone ring in his hand. It was hard to believe that over a year ago he had found that ring in Canterlot, had proposed with it to Rainbow at the Gala, and she agreed to be his wife. Now it was official, they were husband and wife, and the ring was a sign of Indominus' endless devotion and love to Rainbow Dash.

"You realize this ring has more meaning now, right?"

"Yeah, it's a reminder that you, Indominus, are forever a part of my life. You are somepony I can love forever, and that we are surrogate parents to Scootaloo when we return to Ponyville." Rainbow then started to get a little devious, she still wanted to rock Indominus' world, and felt that they could do it before their day began. "You know Indominus, we never did get to fulfill our promises from last night."

"What promises would those be Dashie?"

"Where I said that I would rock your world, and you told me that we would be in each other's embrace and making love til the break of dawn. Well, how about we take care of that now? I've kinda been wanting to ever since we got here."

Indominus let go of the ring and towered over Rainbow Dash. He bent forward slightly and spoke gently to her.

"I want to hear you tell me what you want to do with me. Let your heart speak for itself Dashie, and tell me what you're feeling deep inside."

Rainbow swallowed her fear and spoke with complete confidence and sincerity in her voice.

"I want to mate with you again, Indominus Rex. I want to try to recreate the first time that we spent being one." Indominus leaned forward and licked Rainbow's face.

"That's what I wanted to hear, I'd be more than happy to make it so. But since we don't have a forest, cave, or mountains of gold to work with, how about we spend it in our bath?" Rainbow's eyes widened at the idea.

"I'll go get the water started. I'll call for you when everything is set up." Rainbow kissed Indominus on the cheek before disappearing into the bathroom and shutting the door behind her.

Indominus rolled over so that he was facing the door and just listened to the sounds of the bath water running, and mostly, Rainbow giggling in excitement for what was going to happen. The dinosaur was eager himself, now that he and Rainbow were married, they could have moments like these far more often. He couldn't help but imagine what sort of saucy idea Rainbow was planning while getting their bath set up. Then he heard the water turn off, and also heard Rainbow call out in a voice that sounded like she was trying to entice and seduce Indominus all at once.

"Bath's ready, get on in here so I can have you all to myself and rock your world with sheer pleasure, my Indominus."

The dinosaur felt steam escaping his nostrils upon hearing Rainbow's seductive voice. He was baffled how she had such a side to her, and it made his heart go wild each time. Indominus got up, walked over to the bathroom and opened the door. What he saw was enough to raise his heart rate to the moon.

Rainbow was sitting in the corner of the golden bathtub, which had been filled with bubbles. There were rose petals scattered all over the water, and there was even music playing on a sound speaker. It was a stunning sight, but Rainbow was far more stunning that everything in the bath. She was giving Indominus the same seductive stare from last night, had soaked her body and let her mane go down to make herself even more appealing. Indominus once again, felt himself being at the mercy of Rainbow's charm as he climbed into the tub and she swam over to him. Rainbow laid her body on top of Indominus and the seductive look she was giving him was threatening to make him pass out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zir9bFGqRws

"If you thought I was daring in the bed, I'll show you just how daring I'm willing to be now," she said in a very seducing voice.

Indominus had no response, he could only watch as Rainbow took a bar of soap, lathered it on her body and began to rub herself on him. The dinosaur felt every sensation running through his scales. the touch of Rainbow's fur rubbing against him and her hooves spreading the lather on his neck. Rainbow was giving Indominus the ultimate treatment and holding nothing back. She then upped the anti big time by crawling up Indominus' body until she was at his face.

"I told you I would rock your world, and I always make good on my word. You're about to be loved like never before, Indominus."

The dinosaur felt his whole body tingle as Rainbow Dash began rubbing her face on his. Having his girl so close and rubbing him was making Indominus' heart go wild. Rainbow Dash was indeed being more daring than he'd ever seen, and she was caressing his body so much that the joy was just as overwhelming. Indominus could only wrap his arms around Rainbow's body as she continued to rub herself against him and massage his scales. Then Rainbow did something that sent a heat wave coursing through Indominus.

She lowered her head, poured water on him to wash the soap away and Indominus felt the undeniable sensation of her tongue licking his neck. Indominus could see steam flowing out of his mouth, for Rainbow was laying her love out for him and she intended to show just how much she loved Indominus. The sensation was so overpowering, Indominus couldn't budge because of how much Rainbow was licking and kissing him. She moved between kissing him on the neck and licking his face, and Indominus was at her mercy. Finally she grabbed his head, pulled him over to the other side of the tub and said some of the most amazing words ever.

"Come here you amazing dinosaur. You make my heart soar so high, I want you all the time."

Indominus and Rainbow gave into their desires and impulses completely as they dove into a full make-out session. Both pony and dinosaur held each other and just kissed each other on the lips to the full extent. Indominus rubbed his hands along Rainbow's back, she did the same with her hooves and they began to sink under the water. Their kissing didn't cease as the lovers went underwater and all that could be seen was their tails swaying with each other on the edge of the tub. If anypony were to look in the room, they would think that Indominus and Rainbow were mating under the water.

The kissing taking place in the bath was causing so much movement that the water started to spill out. Indominus and Rainbow were having so much pleasure that they could've just mated like that. But unfortunately, there was one need that couldn't be ignored that would end the moment: the need to breathe. Indominus and Rainbow burst from under the water, breathing hard for air and from the amount of kissing that had transpired between them. Rainbow had the brightest shade of red on her face, and Indominus' scales had turned a deep shade of red too. They took a minute to catch their breath before Rainbow spoke up in her seductive voice.

"Ok babe, now that I've made you feel so alive, it's time for you to give me the ultimate love Indominus. I want you to make me feel like the goddess that you keep treating me like every day."

Rainbow swam over to another ledge of the tub, and began shaking her flank and tail back and forth to entice Indominus. The hybrid dinosaur knew exactly how he was going to caress and love Rainbow, for the others had told him about a little trick that all pegasi loved. He walked over to Rainbow, towered over her body, and lowered himself until he was right beside her face. Indominus spoke in a deep and moving voice.

"Alright hot stuff. You wanted my best, and you're about to get it. I hope it's everything you're expecting."

Indominus carefully laid his body on Rainbow's, took her left wing in his claws and began to lick and nibble at the feathers. Rainbow Dash felt a powerful heat sweeping through her body, feeling Indominus rubbing his tongue on all the loose feathers and his claws scratching at the right spots. The dinosaur was very careful in how he went about the cleaning, he didn't want to injure Rainbow's wing.

"Oh, Indominus," Rainbow said as Indominus nailed another sweet spot and got more loose feathers out. "Since when did you know how to preen? Aaahhhh."

"Your friends showed me how to do it a few days before the wedding. They thought I should learn how to do it just in case you needed some soothing care."

"Well, I g-gotta t-t-TELL, you, you h-have the hands of a g-g-god."

"Oh just wait, it gets better from here," Indominus whispered as he moved on to the other wing.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gistc7ze4WI

Rainbow couldn't help the soft moans of bliss that escaped from her each time Indominus hit just the right spot. She had never been preened by anypony before, and to have her husband doing it in the best way possible, was so worth it. Indominus could take all the love Rainbow gave him, and return it with just as much splendor. He was so gentle and careful around her feathers and making sure to only go after the loose ones, that she almost forgot that he was supposed to be a carnivore. She found her eyes closing from the bliss created by Indominus' gentle claws, and the hybrid dinosaur took that as his chance to make Rainbow feel truly loved. While Rainbow was distracted by the tender preening, Indominus silently adjusted his body into the right position, ready for when he would make his move.

Alright Dashie, you're about to love me for a thousand lifetimes.

Rainbow Dash was so lost in the heavenly bliss that she couldn't see what Indominus was doing. She had no idea that Indominus was about to instill so much joy and bliss in her that Rainbow would never want it to end. Her eyes suddenly jolted awake when she felt something caressing her ear. Something wet and smooth was going all over her ear, rubbing along the outside and swirling about on the inside. Indominus had gently placed his mouth over Rainbow's ear and was licking it all over with his tongue. Rainbow felt the blush in her face grow even brighter, and her body shivered from the amazing pleasure.

"I-I-I-Indominus, y-y-you are a-a-a true wonder." She could barely speak from the pleasure coursing through her body. Indominus was just enjoying all the soft squeaks and moans coming from Rainbow Dash. He loved seeing this gentle side of his wife, knowing that deep down she had a golden heart that was just waiting to be loved. He ceased the licking so Rainbow could breathe for a minute and brought his face beside hers again.

"I told you that I would give you my best. I'll do everything in my power to make you feel special, Dashie. You've done so much for me already, I just want to prove how much you mean to me, and that I'll always be here for you."

Rainbow rested her head against Indominus' with her eyes still closed and spoke softly.

"You've already proven your worth to me a long time ago Indominus. From the time we fought Black Death, I knew we were meant to be together. You have been there for me when I really needed you, and just like our time in this bath, you've always made me feel special. I'm certain now that no other stallion can make me feel loved the way you can. Please, keep up this amazing pleasure. It's lighting my body with such a warm and comforting fire."

"As you wish, my beloved Dashie."

Indominus placed his mouth over the other ear and began licking it just like before. The pleasure was so great that Rainbow had trouble keeping her eyes open. The feeling of Indominus' tongue rubbing on her ear was just too amazing, it made her want to drift off into peaceful sleep again. However, Indominus wasn't done making his girl feel special just yet, he was going to attempt a combination that had never been done before. He grabbed the bar of soap, lathered up his hands, and began caressing Rainbow's body with his hands.

The feeling of having her body massaged by his claws, in addition to Indominus licking her ear so gently was adding to the great pleasure Rainbow was already experiencing. Her body felt like it was being lit inside a furnace, and Indominus was the fire burning in her soul. The pleasure didn't stop there, for Indominus was going to attempt one last part. One that he had agreed that he would give to Rainbow Dash back in the bed. Rainbow's eyes shrunk as she felt something that she hadn't experienced in quite a while: the unmistakable feeling of Indominus thrusting inside her.

He was fulfilling her wish and mating with his wife like he had promised. Indominus was doing the impossible: he was massaging Rainbow's body, while licking her ear and thrusting inside her all at once. Rainbow Dash was being flooded with so much pleasure that her heart was racing wildly, everything was happening so fast, but in her heart it was what she wanted.

"Give it to me Indominus, d-don't hold back this time."

Indominus placed his hands on Rainbow's shoulders and began thrusting harder and faster. All the while he was still licking Rainbow's ears, keeping his breathing at pace with his thrusts. All the pleasure he had experienced was causing his release to approach much faster than before, and Rainbow could feel it inside her. Their hearts were beating so fast from the exhilarating experience that either one of them could pass out at any moment. With so much pleasure and energy flowing through her body, Rainbow felt like she would explode when Indominus released.

Then it finally happened, and Indominus let loose a powerful release within Rainbow Dash. The sensation was so strong that it caused both Rainbow and Indominus to bellow powerful roars and shook the whole bathroom.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZeBr19MZufQ

Rainbow slumped over the side of the bath, her body steaming from everything she had taken. Indominus dislodged himself and went over to check on his girl.

"You..ok...Rainbow..Dash?" She turned and looked at him, and Indominus could see the same content and happy smile on her face from their first time in the cave.

"Thank...you...Indominus. That..was even...more amazing...and wonderful...than the first time," Rainbow's body had taken so much pleasure that she was having a tough time catching her breath. Indominus put his head under Rainbow's, so she could rest and catch her breath. After the exhausted lovers had caught their breath, they relaxed in the water afterwards, gave each other a decent scrubbing for all the love they had shared and decided it was time to start the day.

Indominus drained the water from the tub and dried Rainbow off first. After all the joy he had given her, Rainbow was perfectly fine with letting him dry her off. Rainbow took her time drying off Indominus, because she wanted to thank him properly for all the love he had given.

"I had no idea that you could be such a romantic, Indominus. Everything that you did in that bath was so incredible, my treatment didn't even come close to rivaling yours."

"Are you kidding? Because you gave me so much love in that bath, I had to give my best. Plus, I also wanted to fulfill our promises to each other, and I think we did it. We mated again, and this time was much more romantic than the first, but just as magical. Now, how's about we get some breakfast, we've got a day at Las Pegasus ahead of us, right?"

"You're right! Come on, last one down to the lobby pays for lunch!"

"Oh ho, I don't think so!"

The lovers made first to clean up the mess they had made because of their fun before grabbing what they needed and heading down to the lobby. Indominus made sure to take the coin pouch and Rainbow grabbed the room key, before they made a beeline for the elevators. Their first day as husband and wife had only just begun, and it was already off to a fantastic start.

Fun Time in Las Pegasus

Rainbow and Indominus managed to stop themselves right at the banquet hall. their little race had almost resulted in them smashing through the doors. They caught their breath, made themselves look cleaned up, and went in for some food. Even though they had only been there for a day, everypony in the hotel still treated them with the best of respect. It was so comforting for Indominus that none of these ponies were like the stuck up ones in Canterlot. After filling their plates with food and getting a table, they had just begun eating when they were joined by Goldenrod and two of his staff members.

"Morning Rainbow Dash and Indominus Rex, did you two enjoy the dancing last night?"

"It was so amazing, we really blew each other's minds last night."

"Plus we got to spend quality time together, and dance in each other's embrace, whether it was sappy or not," Rainbow said as she and Indominus stuffed their faces. "Today, we get to spend our afternoon in Las Pegasus, I can't wait to try out everything."

"Oh, that reminds me, you two are going to need these."

Goldenrod and one of his staff levitated two light green bands over to Rainbow and Indominus. They strapped the bands onto Indominus's right arm and Rainbow's right front hoof.

"There, those bands will give you both unlimited access to every ride in Las Pegasus for your entire stay. Unfortunately, they can't cover any of the games or food."

"That's ok Goldenrod, I came prepared for that little detail." Indominus showed them the coin pouch that was bulging at the seems from all the bits inside. Goldenrod and his staff had bulged eyes at the size of the coin pouch, Indominus clarified for them after seeing their faces. "Saving Equestria from a homicidal dragon did have the perk of getting a hefty sum for our efforts. Since none of the other dinosaurs wanted their share, I got all of the bits."

"Wellll now, that sure is enough money to cover anything in Equestria."

"It's not all that important to me Goldenrod, I've only used it for living with Rainbow Dash. The only time I've used it for anything else, was when I picked out my wife's wedding ring."

In the daylight the staff could get a better view of the Arkenstone ring. Its light still danced in the same brilliant way as the first time Indominus had seen it.

"It definitely is a ring worthy of anypony that should be married to you Indominus."

"Yeah, and I happen to be that lucky somepony," said Rainbow while admiring the ring herself. "Now Indominus, it's time for us to head to Las Pegasus. Thanks for breakfast Mr. Goldenrod, we'll be back for dinner later tonight."

"I'll make sure to have another feast ready for both of you, and Indominus, the chefs have agreed to whip up another roasted boar for you."

"I look forward to feasting on it, we'll catch you later Goldenrod."

The couple bid their farewells after their meals had been finished, took flight outside of the hotel and began making their way to Las Pegasus. Given that Las Pegasus was a floating city just like Cloudsdale, it wasn't that hard to spot. Rainbow and Indominus were able to easily spot the floating vacation spot by the numerous buildings and the rides. The ponies below spotted them and started cheering wildly, none of them expected to see Indominus at such a great place. All of them made way as the couple made their infamous landing at Las Pegasus, leaving plenty of ponies squealing in delight.

This time however, there weren't any staff to keep the ponies away from the couple, so Indominus had to increase his size briefly to silence the vacationers.

"Calm down everypony, I'm simply here to spend a fun afternoon with my wife, Rainbow Dash." Rainbow floated down in front of the crowds and the ponies all awed at the Arkenstone. She felt that she had to do Indominus justice with his choice.

"That's right, this scaly stud picked out this grand ring for me, and presented it in an awesome and touching fashion at the Grand Galloping Gala." Indominus knelt down beside his girl.

"Guilty as charged. Now me and Rainbow have a long day ahead of us, but all of you will be able to see us around. Catch you ponies later."

Indominus stuck close to Rainbow Dash as she led him around the floating city. It was her turn to show her husband around, even though Rainbow had only seen Las Pegasus once. There was so much to take in and so many places to try things out that Rainbow didn't know where to go first. So she decided that they would spend their time trying out everything in Las Pegasus. They headed inside a brown red resort to see what they had to offer.

The minute they stepped inside however, eager eyes were on them once more. Thankfully, the ponies didn't come swarming in this time and they let Indominus and Rainbow stroll through the resort. The couple went throughout the resort, taking in everything they saw. There were ticket sales for exciting shows and performances, but none of them seemed to interest Indominus or Rainbow. She was looking for a particular room, one where she and Indominus could have some competitive fun. When they were strolling through a hallway, Rainbow looked to her right and found the room she had been searching for: an arcade room.

Rainbow Dash wanted to teach Indominus how to play the many different games, so they could compete against each other without having to train or fight. Indominus didn't know what to make of the countless machines, flashing lights and eager ponies playing them. He had never seen an arcade room before, so Rainbow took it upon herself to teach him. She paid for a clawful of tokens and went for one of the simplest games for Indominus to play. Indominus was stumped when Rainbow brought him to a whack a mole game, he didn't know what to think of it.

"Uh, Rainbow, what is this?"

"It's a game Indominus, and an easy one to learn, all you have to do is whack the moles when they pop up until the timer runs out."

"So I have to smash this little creatures into the dirt to win?"

"Oh no no, nothing like that. None of them are real, and don't use a great deal of strength, we don't want to break this machine on our first day. Just hit them lightly and you'll win tickets for prizes."

"Well ok, I'll give it a shot."

Rainbow put two tokens in and the game started up, she backed up a little to see how Indominus would handle it. There was a hammer for the smacking, but Indominus's hands were decent enough hammers already. Indominus scanned the holes for any sign of movement, and the moment the first mole popped up, he went nuts. He started slamming his clawed hands down, smacking every mole that appeared. Despite how wildly he was going at it, Indominus was courteous enough to hold back his strength, to avoid damaging the machine.

The ponies in the room stopped the games they were playing and watched with open mouths as Indominus continued to smack and bash at the moles. Tickets were pouring out of the machine, and even Rainbow was fascinated by how quickly Indominus was winning. He was getting a huge smile on his face the more he smacked each mole. The hybrid dinosaur was enjoying something other than hunting or fighting an opponent. When the game ended after just thirty seconds, Indominus was overjoyed at the pile of tickets he had earned from smacking the moles.

He had earned himself one hundred and fifty tickets and a total of 50,736 points on his first try. The machine was completely intact when Indominus was done, he hadn't even laid a scratch on it. The ponies were amazed at the high score, some of them tried to beat Indominus's score while he and Rainbow moved on to the other games.

"Alright Indominus, let's see how you handle the others."

They moved on to the ball throwing games, which Rainbow specialized at. She still emphasized how important it was for Indominus to not use any of his real strength, but the dinosaur understood. Rainbow joined him on her own machine and the two of them were going at it, chucking balls and scoring points. Indominus's size gave him a small advantage and allowed him to score on the holes that were more difficult to reach. By the time they had used up all the balls, Indominus had 70,000 points while Rainbow only had 55,000.

Normally, Rainbow couldn't stand losing to anypony, but there was no way she could be mad at Indominus. Her love for him was far more important than winning a little game. Indominus decided to use the tickets they had won to pick out a prize for Rainbow Dash. At the prize counter, Indominus debated on what to get Rainbow Dash. Together they had over 600 tickets, so the choices were endless. Then Indominus spotted a medium sized plush dragon for 200 tickets, and picked it for Rainbow Dash.

She was touched when Indominus handed the dragon to her.

"Oh Indominus, that's sweet of you, but this is yours. You won the games and earned most of the tickets."

"I may have won Rainbow Dash, but the prize is yours to keep. I only won those games so I could give you the prize." The other ponies 'awwed' at the touching sight. Winning wasn't all that important to Indominus, unless it involved Rainbow Dash.

"Ok Indominus, if that's the case, then I've got to get you a prize as well."

Rainbow scoured the prize counter for something that Indominus might like. However, she had no idea what kind of prize would be suitable for a hybrid dinosaur. Indominus didn't need a plush like the dragon, because he got to hold Rainbow Dash every night. Rainbow was worried she wouldn't be able to find anything good enough, when she spotted a gold symbol in the glass display. It was a copy of the symbol that was used for the Wonderbolts, and at only one hundred tickets. Rainbow purchased the symbol, walked back to Indominus, and placed it on his arm.

"What kind of symbol is this, Rainbow Dash?"

"It's the official logo for the Wonderbolts, I thought it would look good on you."

"Thanks Rainbow, but I'm not a Wonderbolt."

"No you aren't, but with how great a flyer you've become, I think you would make a pretty decent Wonderbolt regardless."

"Aww, now you're pulling the flattery on me," Indominus said as he and Rainbow hugged each other.

"There's an old saying hot stuff, turnabout is fair play. Now how about a round of air hockey, and then we break for lunch?"

"Sounds good to me."

Playing air hockey was easy enough for anypony to understand, even a dinosaur. Indominus got the hang of it so quickly that in a matter of minutes, he and Rainbow were knocking the puck back and forth so fast that ponies were gathering to watch. The dinosaur might've been a fast learner, but Rainbow had more experience in playing the game. She was scoring points just as quickly as Indominus, and she was outdoing him at the same time.

"One more point, and I win big boy."

Indominus tried his best to keep up with Rainbow, but she proved to be too good for him. She hit the puck at just the right angle and it zoomed past Indominus's hand and into his goal.

"Game over Indominus. I'm the air hockey champion," Rainbow started going into a celebratory dance, but stopped herself before she got too carried away. "You still put up a decent fight against me."

"It's alright Rainbow, you're entitled to have some glory to yourself. Winning isn't a big deal to me unless we're fighting for Equestria, ourselves, or our family."

After all the time they had been together, Rainbow was still amazed at how great Indominus's sportsponyship was. He was so competitive when he got into the mood, but whether he won or lost it didn't matter as much to him. All that mattered was seeing Rainbow happy and having a great time with him. The ponies that had watched the game were equally amazed at the bond that Rainbow and Indominus shared. Love and respect of this magnitude had rarely been seen in Equestria before, and seeing it was a wonderful sight to behold.

Indominus decided to give away the remainder of his tickets to the spectators since he felt there was nothing else he could get for Rainbow Dash. They were on their way out when two ponies that had gotten some of the tickets stopped them. A light blue unicorn mare and her dark green stallion had a request for the lovers.

"Wait Indominus. Before you two leave, we were wondering if you two could show us some of your dance moves on one of the games."

"Dancing moves? There's a game for that?"

"Sure, we'll show you."

The pair led the couple back into the arcade and in front of a pair of machines that had arrows on the floor and ponies actually dancing on them. The arrows would show up on two screens with songs playing over speakers and the arrows would light up on each stage. The ponies on each were trying to move to each arrow and the beat that played along. Indominus was stunned that there truly was a game for dancing as he watched the ponies play, and the more he watched, the more he understood the idea behind the machines.

"Is there a game for everything in this world?"

"Just about babe, so what do you think of it?"

"Well, it's rather strange, but I think I've got the idea behind it. Just move in pace with the songs that play, and hit the arrows as they light up, right?"

"Exactly! You've definitely got a lot of smarts in that brain of yours."

"I owe that to having Velociraptors as being part of my DNA. Looks like it's our turn next."

The pair on the stage had just finished and it was time for Rainbow and Indominus to have their fun. The ponies that had requested them to try the dancing machine out graciously covered the tokens for them.

"Now just choose your songs and show us what you can do."

Indominus and Rainbow scrolled through the list of songs the machine had to offer until they decided to do the same song together.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h713YJI3v8s

The moment the beat started up and the arrows started showing up on display, Indominus and Rainbow got right into the beat. For Indominus it would've been tough had he not learned dancing lessons way before his marriage to Rainbow. The two of them were dancing perfectly in sync with the beat and with each other. Their movements hit every arrow that lit up, and not once did either of them break the rhythm. The ponies that were watching couldn't believe how well Rainbow and Indominus were dancing like they had become one united body and soul. It was the same kind of synchronization that the pegasus and dinosaur had displayed during the brawl against Spoiled Rotten and Sheer Cold.

Indominus kept glancing between the arrows that showed up on screen and over at Rainbow Dash. He continued to move and dance with her pace without breaking his concentration. She would do the same and give him one of her seductive stares, but it didn't break his focus. All the while they landed on every arrow that lit up and didn't miss a beat on the tunes.

"I gotta say Indominus, for a dinosaur you've got quite the rhythm going."

"I took a lot of lessons, my dear Rainbow Dash," Indominus said without missing a beat on his movements. The ponies were baffled as he flattered his girl while still dancing as if it was a casual chat. "I learned plenty of dance moves so I could sweep you off your hooves when this time came."

A blush formed on Rainbow's cheeks as she took Indominus's compliment. Then they took the dancing a step further by standing on their legs and moving in different rhythms. Indominus swayed his body with the tune and still was able to get all the arrows without the assistance of his hands. Rainbow did little jumps in between her movements so she was able to land on her set of arrows with just her back hooves. She then started to twirl her body like she was a talented dancer and it got Indominus's attention. Seeing Rainbow moving so gracefully on her back legs and twirling so her mane and tail flowed about in a rather hot fashion, showed Indominus that she wasn't afraid to show off for him.

"Way to go!"

"You two are awesome!"

As the song reached the end of the beat and the last of the arrows showed up, Indominus and Rainbow did spinning jumps and their bodies glided over each other. Right as the last arrows lit up on the stages, the lovers touched down on each of them in a superhero style landing. The spectators cheered wildly and clapped their hooves like crazy, while Rainbow and Indominus held each other to catch their breaths. The dinosaur wasn't quite used to dancing for so long and at such a fast pace. As they stepped off the stages so other ponies could take their turn, the two ponies that had requested them to dance came over.

"That was incredible. You two are quite the team," the light green unicorn said.

"We've had a great deal of bonding over the last year. Oh, not to be rude or anything, but what are your names? My friends taught me to always show courtesy around others."

"Of course, my name is Light Field and this is my fiance, Solid Muscle. We've been admirers of you two ever since we hear about your family defeating Black Death."

"When we heard you two were going to be spending your honeymoon in Applewood and visiting Las Pegasus, we just had to meet you," said Solid Muscle.

"That's nice of you ponies, and did you enjoy our performance?"

Light Field said,"it was spectacular and so well done. How did you two become so tight together?"

"Well we had a year of bonding to get to know one another, and we grew to love each other the more time we spent together.

"Plus, being brought back from the dead by this pony's love really shows how much she cares. Also we danced and sang together at the Gala."

"He proposed to me in the most amazing way, and we kissed in the full light of the moon," Rainbow finished. "We've been through enough to know that our bonds can't be broken."

The unicorn pair was awwed at how much Indominus and Rainbow loved each other.

"Wow, you two really are as close as can be. We're really glad we got to meet you, and could we get your autographs?"

"Why of course." Light Field gave a pen to Rainbow and Indominus and they signed a notebook that Solid Muscle was carrying. They bid their farewells to the lovers and were about to take off when Solid Muscle remembered something.

"I almost forgot, we also wanted to see if you two wanted to participate in Las Pegasus's annual singing competition."

"A singing competition? We're both good singers Rainbow, doesn't that sound interesting?"

"Hmm, are there any rules or papers that explain the rules?"

Solid Muscle handed them a flier to show them the rules for the competition. It was held in the giant pony shaped building known as the Ancient Stallion. The rules were rather simple: it was a duet with both singers having to perform in each song. Songs that were chosen had to be appropriate and not too vulgar. There were five rounds, and the winner would be crowned champion, get their photo put up in the Hall of Glory and walk away with a golden trophy. The competition was scheduled to begin in three days at noon.

"Now this sounds like a good time, count us in."

"Splendid! We'll be competing as well, see you lovebirds later."

After the lovers had bid farewell to their new fans, they went to get some lunch at last. Indominus filled his plate with as much food as possible and they ate in the dining area. No pony in the room dared to question Indominus and his eating habits, they respected the hybrid dinosaur and his wife too much. The lovers ate in peace until they had their fill, Indominus had to go back for three more plates before his appetite was satisfied. Once lunch was over, the couple left the resort to explore the rest of Las Pegasus.

The rest of their day was spent trying out all of the rides and attractions in Las Pegasus. Indominus wasn't very comfortable about being in a cramped seat on the Ferris wheel, even with his decreased size. Rainbow sat in his lap the whole time and it helped relieve some of the stress. They took a tour of a giant castle, which came with a giant, curving rainbow slide for the ponies to enjoy. Indominus had a blast sliding on his chest and gliding down after Rainbow and having the wind in his face.

They even took part in a live event that was held inside a pyramid at the edge of Las Pegasus. Indominus had to restrain himself from attacking many of the stunts that surprised them during the event. He nearly chomped down on a handful of performers dressed as mummies, and would've disintegrated a fake boulder that chased them through most of the pyramid. When it came to the final performance at the end, which involved the participants trying to stop the beast at the last leg of the event, Indominus got the guilty pleasure of having the spotlight.

Despite the actors' best attempts to scare Indominus with their creature, the hybrid dinosaur had the better roar. His voice sent the beast screaming for the hills, and the participating ponies applauded his fierceness, especially Rainbow Dash. Indominus made sure to apologize to the performers after the event was over, he didn't mean to make a few of them soil themselves because of his roar. Thankfully they were understanding, and were glad that Indominus enjoyed himself.

Later in the day as the sun began to set, it was time for Indominus and Rainbow to call it a night. They bid farewell to all the ponies they had met during the day and flew back to the Golden Pony. Goldenrod had whipped up Indominus another fabulous boar just like he had promised. It was even juicier and more tasty than the first one.

"Oh boy Goldenrod, you've really outdone yourself this time," Indominus said as he tore off another chunk of meat.

"Yeah, I had no idea this food was so delicious. All these years I've been missing out," said Rainbow. She was more bold in trying the food this time, and the other patrons didn't mind since they had seen Indominus and Rainbow eating meat last night.

After their meals had been finished, the lovers decided to relax for the rest of the evening. Rainbow relaxed on the bed while Indominus gave her wings another preening and massaged her body. She would never admit it to her friends, but Rainbow just loved feeling Indominus's claws gently scratching all the right spots in her wings. Even his massages felt like they were straight from the spa and were soothing her to sleep.

"Indominus," Rainbow said sleepily as Indominus massaged her wings gently.

"Yes Dashie?"

"Have I told you how much I love having you in my life?"

"You've told me quite a lot, and I never get tired of it. I'm honored to be part of your life."

"I wish I could pay you back for this great treatment."

"Oh, I think you know how to pay me back. Just do what we do best."

"In that case." Rainbow rolled over, tackled Indominus and pinned him on his back. She increased her size til she was as big as Indominus and looked down on him with her seductive eyes. "I'll make you mine until the end of Equestria, you scaly stud."

Rainbow pressed her lips to Indominus' and he returned the warm gesture with great pleasure. Their arms and hooves wrapped around each other as they kissed with passion. Indominus took it further by putting his tongue inside Rainbow's mouth, which surprised her for a moment before she intertwined her tongue with his. They were kissing far more passionately than any of the other times, and Indominus was about to make it even greater before Rainbow stopped him.

"Wait Indominus, we...we can't do it right now. It's too late in the evening, and other ponies might hear us."

"Oh don't worry, Twilight gave me a special spell so that others can't hear us when we want to have our 'fun.'"

Indominus opened his jaws and Rainbow watched a green bubble come out. It expanded over them until it was covering the entire bed, and the lovers were inside.

"Noise cancelling bubble, no noise will escape it. Any ponies outside of the bubble will not hear a sound, so we can be as loving and wild as we want."

"In that case, I hope you rock my world just as hard as this morning,' Rainbow said as she grabbed Indominus's face.

"I find you incredibly hot when you talk like that," Indominus said before he and Rainbow resumed their hardcore kissing.

With the bubble cancelling out all the noise, Indominus no longer had to worry about ponies hearing him. So he flipped Rainbow onto her back and began thrusting inside her again, while licking her neck. After so many times, it was much easier for Indominus to arouse Rainbow and for her to be turned on by his advances.

"Oh yeah. Indominus, light my fire. Make me feel alive again."

Indominus just listened to his girl's pleased voice as he continued to thrust inside her.

"Oh! Oh yeah! Awesome! Keep it up baby!"

Indominus could feel the burst getting close already. He put effort into his thrusts, and just as he felt the feeling inside him about to explode.

"AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AbMdotUG5Vk

Rainbow and Indominus felt their bodies relax after the dinosaur had released inside his wife. He dispersed the bubble now that they didn't have to worry about ponies hearing them. Rainbow had a bright red blush on her face and stared heavenly at Indominus as he disengaged and rested himself on top of her.

"I love, when you bring all this, happiness into my life." Indominus took his right hand and caressed Rainbow's face gently as he brought his face closer and kissed her.

"I love you so much my amazing Dashie, and I'll do everything in my power to keep this happiness. You always sound so adorable and hot when you ask me to make you 'feel alive.'"

Rainbow couldn't help but let out a really adorable squeal at Indominus's touching words.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LfJR6sAo0CU

They turned onto their sides and Rainbow snuggled against Indominus's scales. He held her close to him and stared softly into her eyes as he turned the lights off with his tail.

"I love you Indominus Rex."

"I love you too, Rainbow Dash."

They shared one more kiss before the lights went out and they fell asleep in each other's tender embrace.

Author's Notes:

This chapter contains a lot of excitement, and plenty more songs. Those who love pop and heavy metal, are in for a treat with this chapter.

While Rainbow and Indominus were enjoying their time in Las Pegasus, back in Ponyville, Scootaloo was having a great time with her new family. Tyrannosaurus, Blue and her girls were caring for the little filly, just like they had promised Indominus. They played with her, gave her all the attention she never had before, and provided for Scootaloo to the best of their abilities. When it came to food, they asked the others for help because there was no way they could give carved meat to a pony. They even tagged along with her and the CMC on their adventures now that they had earned their marks.

Helping other ponies figure out their talents was so confusing to the dinosaurs, they had no clue how they could help. So it was good that the Crusaders were able to show them the way. Charlie helped a little colt with navigating an obstacle course after Applebloom showed her the ropes. That colt ended up getting his cutie mark in acrobatics after he went through the course with tremendous agility. Charlie had messed up halfway through, but was glad she could help the pony find his purpose.

Delta and Echo had great delight in joining Sweetie Belle and helping a filly in excavating. Their claws helped in the tunneling, and the sister raptors helped the pony dig up an ancient skeleton in a sandbox. Seeing the filly so overjoyed at getting her mark, which was a pair of bones with a shovel resting beside them, showed the raptors just how much getting their marks meant to the ponies.

"See girls, a cutie mark is one of the best moments in a pony's life."

"Now I can see why you girls were so excited to get yours," said Delta.

Tyrannosaurus and Blue were assisting Scootaloo with a young pegasus that was trying to earn her mark in flying. They could see she had plenty of potential in her, just like Scootaloo had when Rainbow had taught her how to make use of her wing power. However, the poor thing was so nervous about falling out of the sky that she didn't have the confidence to try hard enough. So Blue and Scootaloo decided to try and build some confidence in her with a race.

"But, what if I fall and get hurt?"

"That won't happen," Tyrannosaurus reassured her. "I'll be flying right underneath you so that you'll land on my back if you think you're gonna hit the ground."

If there was one thing Tyrannosaurus was really good at, it was getting ponies to put their trust and faith in him. He never went back on his word before, and he would always live up to it. Once the filly took flight and Tyrannosaurus had positioned himself underneath her, she felt more confident and secure. So Scootaloo and Blue took her on a race through a little air course, and the pony began to show her speed and skill. She was weaving easily around obstacles and pulling ahead of the raptor and Scootaloo, Tyrannosaurus still kept going after her, not wanting to risk her getting hurt. She was showing the speed and agility of a trained flyer, and enjoying the adrenaline from the race.

Once the filly finished the race, a glow happened on her flank. She was amazed to see that her mark was a pair of blue lightning bolts crossing over each other like an X. It warmed Scootaloo's heart to see the filly so overjoyed, and no longer afraid of flight. Blue and Tyrannosaurus were equally as happy to see the pony so ecstatic. They were slowly getting an understanding for how important cutie marks were to the young ones.

After the Crusaders had helped out their share of ponies for the day, they returned to the clubhouse to discuss their progress. While the raptors were discussing their time with each of the fillies they had helped, Scootaloo seemed rather distant and distracted from the other Crusaders. Tyrannosaurus noticed from outside and saw that she was just staring out the window and into the sky. He knew what this meant: she was missing her new parents while they were away. So T-Rex moved in front of the window and it got her attention.

"You miss them, don't you Scootaloo?" Scootaloo sighed, there was no way she could hide her emotions from T-Rex. He knew her so well after spending so much time with the filly over the year.

"Yeah, I do miss them. I'd just like to spend some time with them while they're away."

"Well, they did give you permission to visit if you truly miss them that much. So what's holding you back?"

"I keep thinking that it would be selfish of me to intrude on their time together." Upon hearing this, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle stopped their conversations and went over to their friend.

"Scootaloo, there is nothing selfish about wanting to spend time with your new family," said Sweetie Belle.

"Yeah, it's taken so much for ya to get the family you've always wanted, and now yer sayin' that you don't want to interfere with Rainbow and Indominus's time together? They love ya to the end of Equestria Scootaloo, heck they promised to become yer new parents. If ya want to see them that badly, then go for it girl."

"We'd be glad to fly you on over to Las Pegasus, Scootaloo. After all, we're a family now and we promised we'd be there for you and Rainbow," said Blue.

Scootaloo pulled her friends into a hug, and the raptors joined in the warm embrace.

"Thank you girls."

"Don't mention it Scootaloo, it's what we do." The group broke apart and Scootaloo flew out the window to hug the dinosaur that had gotten her to talk in the first place.

"I need to give an especially good thanks to you Rexy, for getting me to speak up," Scootaloo said before placing a kiss on the dinosaur's cheek. T-Rex rumbled softly and nuzzled his girl.

"I'm just doing my part and looking out for you Scootaloo. The same way that Rainbow and Indominus would've done, I'm just trying to follow their examples since they know better about caring for somepony."

"Oh I wouldn't say that," said Scootaloo as she nuzzled against T-Rex. "You, Blue and her girls have done a pretty good job of looking after me like a real family should. I'd say you're doing very well for a first time."

Applejack and Rarity were walking by to check on their sisters and caught sight of the cute display.

"You two keep this up, and ya'll be loving each other just like Rainbow and Indominus in no time." Scootaloo was a little embarrassed by Applejack's comment, but knew that she was just giving her honest opinion.

"So, how did your crusading go today," asked Rarity as Sweetie Belle ran over to greet her sister.

"We've been helping a lot of ponies, and the dinosaurs are becoming fast learners in assisting us."

"It's true, we didn't realize just how much these little marks mean to everypony," said Echo. "I've never seen ponies get so excited since these amazing girls got their marks over a year ago."

"A cutie mark signifies what a pony's destiny is, darling. It's what drives us forward each day, and inspires us to try more."

"Oh, Applejack, Ah was wondering if we could all take a trip to Las Pegasus sometime soon?"

"Why in the world would you want to go all the way to Las Pegasus, Applebloom? It's just one big party, and always noisy."

"Well, it's not really for us, but more for Scootaloo." Applejack took a minute to ponder what her sister had said, and realized what she meant after taking another look at the ultimate family. So she walked over to Scootaloo for confirmation,

"Ya miss Rainbow Dash, don't ya Scootaloo."

"Uh huh, without her here in Ponyville, things just feel a little empty in my life. I'd like to see her for just a day, just so I can be near her again."

"Ah understand, she and Indominus promised to be yer parents and you want ta see yer new mom and dad again." Scootaloo nodded her head silently, and Applejack lifted her head up with a hoof.

"There's no shame in wanting to spend time with Rainbow Dash, Scootaloo. It doesn't make you look weak or sad in front of anypony. It shows that you love your new family and want to be with them. So, if ya really want to see Rainbow, Ah think we can arrange a day to head on over there."

Scootaloo's face lit up in delight at the promise of getting to see Rainbow Dash again.

"Rarity, would you and Sweetie Belle be up for joining us on a trip to Las Pegasus?"

"Why of course darling, I'd love to know how Rainbow's been enjoying her time with Indominus."

"Then it's settled. Our only issue is that we have no idea when or how long they're going to stay in Las Pegasus."

T-Rex suddenly felt somepony sitting on top of his head, and it wasn't Scootaloo or any of the raptors. He lifted his gaze up when he heard an all too familiar voice.

"My my, the newly weds are gone for a few days and they're still a hot topic." Delta flew onto T-Rex's back to chat with their new friend.

"Discord, what are you doing here at this hour?" The draconequess levitated himself off Tyrannosaurus's head and floated in the middle of the crowd so everypony could see him.

"What, I can't see if anypony is curious about catching up with my friend and his wife?"

"You wouldn't happen to know how they're doing, would ya Discord?"

"Oh Applejack, the last time I saw them, I was helping Indominus get ready for his big dance with Rainbow Dash."

This took Applejack and Rarity by surprise, they never thought that Discord would willingly help somepony without throwing some chaos into the mix. Then again, he and Indominus had bonded quite a bit over the last year, so it was possible the hybrid's influence had changed a lot in Discord.

"You helped him get ready for a dance?"

"Why of course Rarity, he needed help getting the suit on that you made for him. I simply helped him with putting it on and gave him some friendly advice for the night."

"What kind of advice," asked Applejack.

"Oh you know, just advice to help him make Rainbow Dash feel special is all, but that's beside the point. I heard you ponies want to pay them a visit, well I know the perfect day for that." Discord snapped his claws and a calendar decorated with pictures of himself appeared.

The ponies and dinosaurs all gathered to see what day Discord had in mind. They saw that he had circled Saturday and labeled it 'big event.'

"What's going on in Las Pegasus on Saturday, Discord?"

"You see Applejack, I thought I'd check up on the couple and see how they were doing. I just happened to overhear a group of tourist ponies talk about a singing competition that would take place in three days. Rainbow and Indominus sounded so eager for it and agreed that they would participate. If you ponies were planning on paying them a visit, I think that visiting them on the day of the competition would be great timing."

"That actually sounds like a good idea Discord, and very generous of ya to let us know."

"It's no trouble my dear ponies, Indominus is the first companion I've ever met who I can truly relate and bond with on an equal level. Ever now and then I've got to do a little favor for him, and his new family." He floated over to Scootaloo and T-Rex and whispered to them, "if he asks for me to show up during the contest, the boys and I will be waiting."

Tyrannosaurus gave Discord a solid wink and Scootaloo replied, "I'm sure there will be a song that he'll want you to be present for."

So Discord bid his farewells and disappeared in a flash, leaving the ponies to plan for their trip to Las Pegasus.

Over the course of the next three days, Rarity and Applejack started packing things for the trip. They would be staying at a resort for the night, but Tyrannosaurus had agreed that he and the raptors would fly them to and from Las Pegasus. It was their way of contributing and saving the ponies the cost of paying for the trip. The raptors could hardly wait to find out how much fun Indominus would've experienced by the time they arrived. Meanwhile the Crusaders had something special they needed to take care of.

Since Discord had filled them in and notified them ahead of time, the Crusaders felt it was only fair to bring along the one pony he held above all others. The Crusaders stopped by Fluttershy's cottage and asked her if she wanted to join them on the trip to Las Pegasus.

"I don't know girls, Las Pegasus is full of wild ponies, endless crowds and so much noise. I'm not sure I'd be up for going."

"What if I told you that with Tyrannosaurus and the raptors there, you wouldn't have to worry about crowds? Plus, you'll get to catch up with Rainbow Dash, and I heard that Discord might be singing with them." Scootaloo was trying to tempt Fluttershy, and it seemed to be working. The yellow pegasus thought it over and decided that as long as the dinosaurs could keep the crowds away, she would join them on the trip.

On the day of the singing contest, the group left early in the morning. They made sure to bring plenty of fritters for the trip, so the dinosaurs wouldn't have to make any hunting stops. The Crusaders were so tired that they slept the whole way to Las Pegasus in the comfort of the dinosaurs' arms. Rarity rode on Echo's back, Applejack took Charlie while Fluttershy was snuggled next to Scootaloo in T-Rex's arms.

While the Crusaders slept and Fluttershy tried to avoid looking at the ground, the others took in the great sights.

"Does Equestria always look this good from up here," asked Rarity.

"Sometimes, though we prefer to be on the ground," said Echo.

"How much further til we get to Las Pegasus, Tyrannosaurus?"

"I'd give it another twenty five minutes Applejack."

"Then we'd better wake the girls."

Applejack dug into the bags of fritters and passed one off to Rarity and Fluttershy, who woke the girls from their slumber with the food. Applejack passed a few fritters to the dinosaurs so they could eat as she woke up Applebloom. With everypony awake, they decided to chow down a bit before they reached their destination. The dinosaurs gorged on their fritters as they continued onward, and once the bags had been cleaned out, the ponies heard Tyrannosaurus call out.

"There it is everypony, Las Pegasus!"

Everypony could see the floating city and its decorative lights on display. The Crusaders could hardly wait to touch down, but as they drew closer the group could see ponies already gathering to greet them. The dinosaurs touched down on Las Pegasus and Tyrannosaurus was expecting the tourists to come running towards them any second. However, to his and everypony else's surprise, the tourist ponies all approached calmly and slowly. Fluttershy didn't feel as nervous anymore upon seeing the display and flew down alongside Applejack and Rarity.

"I can't believe it."

"All of the Guardians are here in Las Pegasus."

"We're honored to be here, but I'm surprised that all of you aren't swarming us for autographs," said Tyrannosaurus.

"Well, after we met Indominus Rex, we know better than to overwhelm you guys. We ponies need to be more respectful of you amazing dinosaurs."

"I'm glad Indominus put in such a good word for us," said Blue.

"Speaking of Indominus, we're tryin' ta find him and Rainbow Dash. Does anypony know where they might be?"

"They're taking part in the annual singing competition being held at the Ancient Stallion." The tourists all gestured their hooves to the giant pony building across from the group.

"Oh my, that certainly looks like a very lovely place to hold a contest. Alright girls, let's see if we can find them." Tyrannosaurus was about to follow when he noticed that some of the tourists were getting out pens and booklets.

"We know you dinosaurs want to catch up with Indominus and Rainbow Dash, but if its not too much trouble-"

"It's alright, I know where this is going. We'll autograph your books, that's ok, right girls?"

"I'm perfectly fine with it," said Blue.

"Me neither," said Delta.

"It won't kill us to give out a few autographs," Echo added.

"Besides, Indominus doesn't even know we're here. We can kill some time," said Charlie.

So Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy and the Crusaders ended up having to wait while the dinosaurs took the time to sign a few autographs. After the signing was done, the group made their way over to the Ancient Stallion. They thought that it wouldn't be too hard to find Rainbow and Indominus in the building, but when they got inside, it was a whole different story. The inside of the Ancient Stallion was far bigger than the outside and seemed to stretch on for miles. There were food stands, games of all sorts being played, halls that went everywhere and tons of shops for ponies to browse. It was enough to overwhelm everypony, especially the dinosaurs.

"I don't see how we're going to find Indominus in a building like this."

"Ah have to agree with ya T-Rex, those two could be anywhere in here."

"How are we supposed to know where the competition is being held," asked Scootaloo. Just then a green stallion overheard her question and walked over to answer.

"If you're looking for the singing contest, just walk down this hallway and take a right at the second intersection. The contest is being held in the main parlor of the building so everypony can watch."

"Thank you kind sir," said Rarity as the group followed the stallion's directions.

The dinosaurs could hear music coming from the intersection as they got closer. Once they rounded the corner and could hear the music perfectly, the group caught sight of the area where the contest was being held. An enormous stage was placed in the center of the parlor decked out in strobe lights, lasers and disco balls. A large curtain was hung over it, to possibly keep the contestants from getting stage fright at the enormous crowds. Ponies were gathering around the stage to listen to the singers, and those that couldn't could watch the performances from the higher levels. In front of the stage were three judge ponies, and they would give score on each song and performance. On the stage itself was a huge boombox stereo and music station, run by DJ Pon-3 herself. An announcer walked onto the stage to address the crowd.

"Hey everypony! Are all of ya enjoying the competition so far?" He was greeted with thunderous cheers and applause. "That's what I like to hear, now we've gone through the first three rounds of our contest. We've seen some great ponies and heard plenty of wonderful songs, but there are still two rounds to go. We've just finished our latest pairing, and now it's time for a couple that a lot of ya really like to hear sing."

As the group watched the contest from behind a corner, so Fluttershy wouldn't get scared to death, Scootaloo was wondering where her sister and hybrid savior were. She couldn't see them amongst all the ponies, and couldn't spot any of the remaining performers.

"What if they didn't make to this round? What if they've been eliminated from the contest already?"

"Oh come on Scootaloo, give Rainbow more credit than that. She's got a great voice and I'm sure Indominus can cover with his own."

"Alright everypony, put your hooves together for the newest couple in Equestria, and a fan favorite among most of you, Rainbow Dash and Indominus Rex!"

Scootaloo's eyes shot back to the stage as the curtain parted away and the two lovebirds walked onto the stage. Her eyes widened at seeing her sister again, even though it had only been a few days. She and Indominus looked so happy together, and she even had her wing resting in his hand. Indominus was holding it so gently in his hand, like he was cradling a fragile diamond. DJ Pon-3 started the song that they had chosen, and Scootaloo watched in awe as her sister and savior sang another perfect duet.

I thought love was
Only true in fairy tales

Meant for somepony else
But not for me

Love was out to get to me
That's the way it seems

Disappointment haunted
All my dreams

And then I saw her face
And then I saw his face

Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
I couldn't leave him
If I tried

I thought love was
More or less a given thing

But the more I gave the less
I got, oh yeah

What's the use in trying
All you get is pain

When I wanted sunshine
I got rain

And then I saw her face
And then I saw his face

Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
I couldn't leave him
If I tried

Ponies were cheering wildly and waving their hooves in the air. Scootaloo was giving out loud cheers, despite all the noise and the volume of the song.

"Way to go Rainbow Dash! Knock em' dead Indominus!"

What's the use in trying
All you get is pain
When I wanted sunshine
I got rain

And then I saw her face
And then I saw his face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
I'm in love
I'm a believer
I couldn't leave her
I couldn't leave him
If I tried

The dinosaur and pegasus shared a kiss before continuing, which brought even wilder cheers from the crowd.

Then I saw her face
Then I saw his face
Now I'm a believer
Not a trace
Of doubt in my mind
Now I'm a believer
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm a believer
I'm a believer
I'm a believer

All the ponies in the plaza were cheering their heads off after the song was over. It was clear that Rainbow and Indominus were going to make it to the next round. Rarity, Applejack and Fluttershy were amazed at how well Rainbow and Indominus could sing together.

"Wow! What a duet, I think we can all agree that Rainbow and her dinosaur husband are moving on to the final round, right judges?"

The other judge ponies agreed and gave the couple the top score. Indominus and Rainbow bowed to the ponies and went behind the curtain to wait for their shot at the trophy. Their competition for the final round was against the couple that had told them about it in the first place, Light Field and Solid Muscle.

"Good luck you guys," said Rainbow Dash.

"Thanks Rainbow, and by the way, you two have quite the voices," said Light Field.

"Oh my voice isn't that great at singing."

"Now don't be so modest Dashie, you're a natural singer. That's saying a lot considering I needed to have lessons from Fluttershy to be this good."

The two couples shared hoof and claw bumps with each other as Light Field and Solid Muscle were called back onto the stage. Indominus and Rainbow got a chance to relax in the lounge chairs that had been provided for them. They were so relaxed that they didn't notice T-Rex and the group slowly sneaking up behind them.

"Seems like an excellent honeymoon you're having, isn't it brother." Indominus spun right around in his seat and was astounded to see Tyrannosaurus, Blue and her girls standing behind him.

Rainbow was equally as surprised when she spotted Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applebloom and Sweetie Belle. Her heart however, simply melted when Scootaloo came flying over to her. Rainbow met her halfway and held the filly in a loving embrace.

"Rainbow Dash! I'm so happy to see you again."

"It's great to see you too, Scootaloo. I'm glad you haven't forgotten about us on our trip, sis, or should I say, daughter." Scootaloo looked into Rainbow's eyes and found a serene look staring back at her.

"We agreed to be your parents before we left," said Indominus while he was being hugged and nuzzled by his brother and sisters. "We became your mother and father from that point on, you didn't have to wait for us to come back for it to be official. Regardless, we're really glad all of you decided to pay us a visit."

"Well, Scootaloo couldn't stop thinking about ya and wanted to see ya'll again."

"Speaking of which, is it alright if I get a hug from my dad as well, T-Rex?"

"I suppose you're right Scootaloo," said T-Rex as he and the raptors parted away so Indominus could greet Scootaloo.

The pegasi increased themselves to Indominus's size after they touched down, and they all shared a warm hug. Indominus felt so alive to have both Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo in his embrace, he now had a purpose in life, in addition to being a guardian.

"How did you girls even know we were going to be here, and on the day of the contest too?"

"Actually, we owe that to Discord." said Sweetie Belle.

"Discord?"

"Yeah, he somehow knew you two were goin' to be partakin' in this here contest, and told us about it. He figured he owed Indominus for being such a great friend to him."

"Really now."

"Oh, that reminds me. He also told me to relay something to you Indominus." Scootaloo told Indominus everything that Discord had told her prior to arranging the departure. The dinosaur's eyes widened when he heard Scootaloo's news.

"He said that. did he? Well, if we win this competition, I'll be sure to invite him over," said Indominus as the crowd erupted in applause from beyond the curtain. That meant that he and Rainbow were almost up, so their song had to be a good one.

"So Indominus." Rainbow said after they broke away from their hug. "What kind of song are we going to use for the final round?"

"I have the perfect song in mind, and everypony here can actually sing it with us."

"Are you sure darling? If we don't know the song, how can we be part of your performance?"

Rarity's question was immediately answered as Indominus set up a mind link with her and the others and began putting the music and lyrics into their minds. He was mentally feeding them the lyrics, the type of song, everything, so that they would all know it. When the ponies all nodded their heads afterwards, Indominus knew that they had gotten the song. All of them heard the announcer call out their names.

"Alright, Rainbow Dash and Indominus, time for your final song."

"Alright everypony, when Rainbow and I get to the chorus, all of you make your way onto the stage and join in on the song. The ponies will love our family performance."

Rainbow and Indominus walked back out onto the stage and the ponies once again, cheered loudly at the sight of them.

"Alright you two, this last round will be determined by the crowd's reaction. Light Field and Solid Muscle had a pretty good song that got quite a lot of ponies cheering. You two must get a bigger reaction and you will win the competition, if not, then they will be the winners."

"Oh don't worry, we have the perfect song in mind for this round. It's going to have everypony in the whole plaza cheering for us."

"Alright, let's see what you two have got."

Rainbow gestured her hoof to DJ Pon-3 and the pony got the song on her boombox. It was a far different song than any of the others they had done. Instead of pop and light songs, this tune was more rock and heavy metal.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvEXCxDUjBo

Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!

The saints are crippled
On this sinners' night
Lost are the lambs with no guiding light

The walls come down like thunder
The rocks about to roll
It's The Arockalypse
Now bare your soul

Tyrannosaurus and the raptor squad began making their way out from behind the curtain. Applejack and the others followed suite and stood alongside Rainbow Dash while Applebloom and Sweetie Belle joined Scootaloo. Ponies all around were getting wide eyes at seeing all of the Guardians together. The audience was about to have their minds blown away completely as the entire group began to sing in perfect sync with each other.

Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high

The entire plaza exploded in cheers with ponies going crazy from the song. The dinosaurs, Mane 4 and CMC sang their hearts out to the crowd.

Dinosaurs: The true believers
Thou shall be saved
Brothers and sisters keep strong in the faith

AJ/RD/Rarity/FS/CMC: On the day of Rockoning
It's who dares, wins
You will see the jokers soon'll be the new kings

All we need is lightning
With power and might
Striking down the prophets of false
As the moon is rising
Give us the sign
Now let us rise up in awe

Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high

The Family of a Lifetime tapped into a little of their power and the dinosaurs began unfurling their wings.

Dinosaurs/RD/Scootaloo: Wings on my back
I got horns on my head
My fangs are sharp
And my eyes are red
Not quite an angel
Or the one that fell
Now choose to join us or go straight to Hell

Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Hallelujah!
Hard Rock Yeah!

Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
Demons and angels all in one have arrived
Rock 'n roll angels bring thyn hard rock hallelujah
In God's creation supernatural high

Hard Rock Hallelujah!

Every pony in the plaza was cheering and screaming their heads off in excitement after the song had ended. The Family of a Lifetime took a minute to catch their breath, and Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy were so overwhelmed by the excitement.

"That was, a truly amazing song darlings," said Rarity over the roar of the crowds.

"Yeah, it really blew their minds all the way to Appleloosa and back."

"I told them it would get everypony cheering, and the song sure worked," said Indominus while he was in a group nuzzle with his family.

Sweetie Belle and Applebloom went back to their sisters, who were covering Fluttershy's ears so she didn't get overcome by the noise. Even the judges were blown away as well, the announcer couldn't find his voice for a while. He made his way back on stage and took a minute to find it again.

"Well, I've gotta hand it you Indominus, you weren't kidding about the song."

"It definitely worked, they haven't been able to stop cheering yet."

"They'll have to so we can announce a winner."

"We've got that covered. Rexy, let's get the crowd's attention."

"Right."

The two carnivores took a deep breath, and bellowed two thunderous roars over the crowd. Their roars silenced all the ponies rather quickly, and then they let the announcer take over.

"Thank you boys, now everypony that was quite an amazing song and a stunning performance. It is such a rare treat to have all of the Guardians of Equestria, here in Las Pegasus. Normally, we don't allow last minute additions, but given that the whole family is here, how can we turn them down? Now it's time for you the audience to declare the winner of the competition."

Light Field and Solid Muscle went back on stage, completely surprised and excited to see all the dinosaurs. It was turning out to be the best trip to Las Pegasus that anypony had ever taken.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uFhHQAvHCls

"Based on the audience's response, the winner of the competition is," the announcer gestured to Solid Muscle and Light Field. A good chunk of the ponies in the plaza were cheering for them, but when the announcer moved his hoof over to Rainbow and Indominus, the whole plaza erupted. Every pony in the area was yelling, applauding and squealing like crazy.

"RAINBOW DASH AND INDOMINUS REX ARE THE WINNERS!!" The pegasus and dinosaur were so overjoyed that they had won. The whole group started sharing hugs amongst themselves, and the couple thanked Light Field and Solid Muscle for giving them such a wonderful experience. They weren't upset about losing the contest, for getting to compete against the Guardians of Equestria and meeting them was worth much more.

While Rainbow and Indominus received their gold trophy from the judge ponies and announcer, the Guardians took the time to meet their newest fans. Rainbow couldn't help but laugh at how giddy Light Field was with meeting T-Rex and the raptor squad. She and Indominus each held the trophy while photographers took their picture for future competitors. They then turned to face the audience.

"Shall we do it Indominus?"

"Let's do it Rainbow."

The couple bellowed a united, victory roar to the crowd and the ponies went wild. Some of them even started chanting a word the couple had heard all too often.

"Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss! Kiss!"

The dinosaur and pegasus were used to it, they had had ponies ask them to kiss so many times on their vacation that it was no big deal. Besides, the lovers liked getting to display their feelings for ponies to see. So Rainbow and Indominus faced each other, and kissed with their hand and hoof on the trophy. Dozens of ponies awwed at the sight and many more were taking pictures of the amazing couple. Rarity and Applejack had to admire how Rainbow had gotten so bold and wasn't afraid to show her feelings to her husband.

"She really has changed, hasn't she darling?"

"Ah've gotta agree with ya Rarity, Rainbow has become much more daring in the last year."

Indominus and Rainbow separated from their kiss and the announcer walked over to them.

"Congratulations you two, your performance was simply amazing. I can say without a doubt that having your family in the performance and using heavy metal, was a great combination. The crowd is still loving how well you two did, and since you've won the competition, what would you two say to a little encore?"

"Encore! Encore Encore!"

Indominus thought about it and the message that Scootaloo had told him came to the front of his mind. This would be the perfect opportunity for him to bring his friend along, and they could sing to both of their girls, even if she didn't know it.

"I'm up for an encore, but this one will be me and my friends singing to our girls, if that's ok with you Rainbow Dash."

"I'm ok with you singing to me, but who else is going to be singing with you and to whom?"

"Watch this babe."

Everypony watched as Indominus stood up and called to the roof of the Ancient Stallion.

"Discord! I believe now would be a good time for you to show up, just like Scootaloo told me!"

A flash of light came out of nowhere, and when it faded, Discord, Armored Lizard, Swamp Battleguard and King of Yamimakai were standing on the stage too. The ponies were about to panic, but Indominus calmed them down, explaining that Discord and the monsters were his friends.

"So, Scootaloo told me you and the boys would be ready at my beckoning call."

"Yes, I was simply jumping at the chance to do a performance with our boys."

"In that case, we're going to sing to a few special ponies in the plaza."

"Well I already know that you've got Rainbow Dash, but who am I going to sing to?"

"Just look behind you Discord," Indominus said smugly. Discord looked behind him and saw Fluttershy who was staring back at him in surprise. The Lord of Chaos became incredibly nervous at the thought of singing in front of the pony he cared most about.

"Y-you want me to s-sing, in front of Fluttershy?"

"Hey, I'll be right beside you, and we'll both be singing to our girls. Besides, I think you need to let Fluttershy know what you think of her." Indominus then whispered the song he had in mind and Discord instantly conjured it up on a record. He then took the music and put it into the monsters' heads, along with the knowledge of how to play the instruments for each song.

"Alright everypony, get ready for an encore unlike anything you've seen before." Discord levitated the record over to DJ Pon-3 and conjured up instruments for the monsters. Swamp Battleguard got the drums, while King of Yamimakai and Armored Lizard were given bass and electric guitars. DJ Pon-3 started playing the record and the song began.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A85Qpc1emn0

The dinosaurs stood alongside Indominus, Discord and their band of monsters to provide backup vocals. Discord conjured up three mics, two for the guitarists and one for himself. The Mane 4 and CMC all gathered in front of the stage, eager to see what kind of song Indominus had in mind, and it made Discord nervous.

"This encore is for two special ponies that Discord and I care about quite a lot. You all can guess that my girl is Rainbow Dash, but Discord's special girl is the Element of Kindness herself, Fluttershy."

The yellow pegasus felt so nervous with all the ponies suddenly eyeing her, thankfully her friends were able to shield her from the crowd. The ponies diverted their attention back to the stage when they heard the guitars playing, meaning the singing was getting close.

"This song will allow us to convey our feelings to our girls, and let them know how we feel." Indominus then whispered to Discord, "you've given me advice on serenading Rainbow Dash, now I'm returning the favor. You're doing this for Fluttershy, just be bold and confident, and use that to sing your heart out."

"You realize that I'm going to get you back one day for taking my own advice and using it against me," said Discord as the music got louder.

"You know I'm right, you've told me how you feel about her yourself. I'll take your best later on."

Discord took a deep breath and readied himself for when the singing started. The lasers, and strobe lights were flashing all over the stage, making the encore almost more exciting than the last performance. Fluttershy was getting anxious herself, part of her had wanted to hear Discord sing, since he had never done it in front of her before. She was about to find out as Indominus and Discord began to sing to her and Rainbow Dash.

I never knew girls existed like you
But now that I do
I'd really like to get to know you

The girl's too young
She don't need any better
It's all coming back
I can feel it
The girl's too young
She don't know any better
It's all coming back
I can feel it

[Chorus:]
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
The girl is beautiful

Seeing that the girls were beginning to blush, Indominus and Discord continued with more feeling.

You're giving me moves that hit from all sides
and when you are hitting like that you melt my eyes

The girl's too young
She don't need any better
It's all coming back
I can feel it
The girl's too young
She don't know any better
It's all coming back
I can feel it

And though I never knew you
I look at your face.
To tell you that I love you
Don't know what to say
You're everything I got, you beautiful girl
The only thing I live for in the whole wide world

[Chorus:]
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
The girl is beautiful

I ain't got nothing to lose (Nothing to lose)
Going to throw it away
And talk to you
She looks good
She looks good
And it's true
And it's true
The girl is beautiful
She is beautiful

I ain't got nothing to lose (Nothing to lose)
Only living one time
And I want you
She looks good
She looks good
And it's true
And it's true
The girl is beautiful
She is beautiful

Discord and Indominus held out a hand each for their girls to take. Rainbow and Fluttershy let the hybrids pull them onto the stage, and their friends followed after. Applejack, Rarity and the CMC joined in on the singing, and Fluttershy and Rainbow felt like the center of Equestria with their boys singing to them.

She is beautiful
She is beautiful
Na na na na na na na na
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
Na na na na na na na na
The girl is beautiful
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
Na na na na na na na na
She is beautiful
She is beautiful
Na na na na na na na na

I ain't got nothing to lose (Nothing to lose)
Going to throw it away
And talk to you
She looks good
She looks good
And it's true
And it's true
The girl is beautiful
She is beautiful

I ain't got nothing to lose (Nothing to lose)
And I'll never forget
When I saw you
She looks good
She looks good
And it's true
And it's true
The girl is beautiful
She is beautiful

The plaza once again erupted in wild applause at the performance. The monsters all took their bow and waited patiently while Discord and Indominus received their praise. Rainbow and Fluttershy were nuzzling their faces at the incredible song, and the message they had conveyed with it. Discord felt his cheeks turning a bright red from having Fluttershy nuzzling him, it was the most amazing feeling he'd ever experienced.

"That concludes this year's contest, thank you everypony for coming out and we'll see you all again next time," the announcer said before he and the judges started taking down the stage.

The crowds departed once everything had been cleared away, leaving only the Family of a Lifetime, the CMC with their siblings, Discord and his band of monsters.

"That was amazing Discord, you have quite the voice."

"Thank you Fluttershy, I was hoping you would enjoy the song."

"You sure know how to charm a girl, Indominus, and get Discord to come out of his shell."

"I felt he could use a confidence boast of his own. He helped me once and I simply returned the favor."

"Now that the contest is over, how's about we get some grub, I'm starving," said Applejack.

"I agree darling, doing those songs has worked up an appetite in me too," said Rarity.

"Well I guess that's our sign to head back home, come on boys." Discord and the monsters were about to leave when Scootaloo stopped them.

"Wait! Don't leave just yet." Discord was taken aback, nopony had ever wanted him to stick around before. "You went to the trouble of finding out about this event and notifying us so we could see Rainbow and Indominus again. Plus, you just sang for Fluttershy and brought these guys all the way from your home. You can stay for a little longer, can't you?"

Discord had no idea what to make of this, Scootaloo wanted him to stay with them. It was just so new to him that it was almost unheard of.

"Are all of you ok with us sticking around during your time of bonding?"

"Sure Discord, ya did do us a mighty good kindness by tellin' us about the competition. It's the least we could do."

"Why of course darling, everypony deserves a second chance," said Rarity.

"We'd like to have your company, and your monster friends too," said Sweetie Belle.

Discord was so overcome that he hugged all the ponies, and Indominus could see the delight in his eyes. It was such a wonderful feeling to be accepted by others and welcomed into a group of friends. The dinosaurs settled for fist bumps when thanking the monsters rather than hugs. Indominus and Discord shared one of their traditional fist bumps before the group went on their way, with the gold trophy in tow. So the unique group of dinosaurs, ponies, draconequess and monsters began the rest of their time in Las Pegasus.

A 'unique' day in Las Pegasus

The mismatched group made their way to a pizza parlor in the Ancient Stallion. Ponies everywhere were terrified of seeing Swamp Battleguard, Armored Lizard and King of Yamimaikai strolling through the building with Discord beside them. However, the presence of the Guardians was enough to ease their worries. They knew that the dinosaurs wouldn't let anything happen to them or let monsters walk around if they didn't trust them. After all the singing they had done in the contest, it was time to chow down.

The ponies all sat at one table in the parlor while they waited for their food, while the dinosaurs sat at another with Discord and the monsters. The serving ponies were a little unnerved at the sight of the monsters, but the dinosaurs reassured them that they meant no harm. None of the dinosaurs were too certain about trying different foods all the time, but they were willing to make an exception for this day of hanging out with their married brother. While the groups waited for their food, each of them were asking Rainbow or Indominus about how the honeymoon had gone so far.

"So, did you use my advice for sweeping Rainbow off her hooves Indominus?"

"I took your advice to heart Discord, and by the end of the night, she was held in my embrace as we danced in the moonlight."

"Sounds like you have quite the life going for yourself," the dinosaurs were a little surprised to hear King of Yamimakai talk.

"Since all of you can talk, I decided that it should only be fair that the monsters are allowed to speak for themselves," said Discord.

"It really is nice to speak and have someone that can understand us," said Armored Lizard.

"We're glad you spared us and gave us this second chance Indominus," added Swamp Battleguard.

"We know how you boys feel," the dinosaurs said while glancing over at their friends on the other table. "We had the same feeling when Luna first brought us to Equestria and when we met Scootaloo."

"What else have you lovebirds done during your time here?"

"We've feasted on wonderful food, danced the night away, gone against each other in arcade games, and just loving being held in each other's hold each night until we fall asleep."

"Oh ho ho, I think I know what you're talking about, you are one slick dinosaur Indominus. Rainbow Dash must really be loving you to be all over you each night."

The monsters, T-Rex and the raptor squad all shot Indominus pleased smiles and sly looks. They knew what Discord and Indominus were talking about, even if they were trying to be discreet about it.

"Sounds like you and Rainbow have mated quite a lot in the last few days," said Tyrannosaurus.

"Yeah, we have," Indominus said nervously. "We just love each other so much that it's hard to keep my claws and her hooves to ourselves."

"Don't be nervous Indominus," said Blue. "You and Rainbow have every right to love each other so much."

"You two have faced far more than the rest of us have in our time here," Delta added.

"If you want to mate with her that much, you have every right," said Echo. "As long as Rainbow is ok with it too."

"Of course, I wouldn't do it unless she gave her consent. I never want there to be any trouble between us."

Tyrannosaurus was pleased and proud to see that his hybrid brother knew better than to take advantage of Rainbow. He cared for her too much to do something without her consent. Indominus had done far too much for Rainbow to throw such happiness away, and Tyrannosaurus had seen some of those feats himself.

Meanwhile, Rarity, Fluttershy and Applejack were catching up with Rainbow Dash and her thoughts on being with Indominus.

"Rainbow darling you must tell us, what's it like having a dinosaur as a husband?"

"Well, Indominus is definitely the most understanding creature I've ever known. He's been so kind and thoughtful, even when it came to playing games he showed so much respect. When we went against each other in a air hockey match, he wanted to win and played like a true competitor. Yet when he lost, he said that winning didn't mean all that much to him, unless it was for me. He even bought me a plush dragon with the tickets he won, saying that he was doing it just for me."

"Wow, he's been that thoughtful and kind to ya? Ah'd say ya made a wise decision in chosin' him to be yer stallion and not Soarin," said Applejack.

"Please Applejack, Indominus is over one thousand times the stallion Soarin could ever be. He serenaded me with the best songs and kindest words on our first night here. I was so overwhelmed and taken with how much he loved me, that I felt so safe and at peace being held by him that night. There's nothing that Soarin could do to match the combination of awesomeness and comfort Indominus has shown me."

The others could see a bright blush on Rainbow's cheek as she spoke about Indominus. Scootaloo had seen the exact same blush on Rainbow's face the day after she and Indominus had fought against her former parents. All of them couldn't resist giggling at Rainbow with all her sweet talk about her husband, yet she didn't bother trying to hide her feelings. Indominus had touched her heart with unbelievable kindness, defended her in battle against rogue pegasi and a psychotic dragon and proposed to her with touching style. He was far too amazing and incredible a dinosaur to not give praise and talk about.

"Rainbow Dash, you've become so caring and comforting yourself," said Fluttershy. "Being around Indominus and his friends has changed you for the better. I know that you and Indominus will do a good job of caring for Scootaloo."

"They've done a great job already Fluttershy, far better than my former parents ever did. In fact, all the dinosaurs have been looking after me while she and Indominus have been here." Rainbow glanced back at the group of monsters and dinosaurs at the opposite table.

"I'm glad that they've done such a good job of caring for you Scootaloo, once the honeymoon is over I'll be helping them look after you."

"Speaking of caring for one another, how long before you and Indominus are caring for another somepony?" The ponies all glanced over at Sweetie Belle once she spoke her rather inappropriate question.

"What do you mean Sweetie Belle?"

"I mean, when are you and Indominus gonna be expecting kids?"

"Sweetie Belle! That's not a question you should be asking."

Fortunately for Rainbow, their pizza arrived in time so she didn't have to answer right away. Both groups chowed down on their pizzas, and Discord summoned glasses of chocolate milk, water and apple juice for each of his friends. The monsters chose to drink the apple juice with the dinosaurs, and surprisingly all of them enjoyed their pizza slices. What looked like a devouring feast to other ponies in the area, was really a peaceful lunch between friends of all kinds. Indominus, Tyrannosaurus and the raptors were having the time of their lives being with the ponies and monsters they had befriended over the course of their time in Equestria.

After their lunch was over, the group spent most of the afternoon trying out more of the games and attractions that Las Pegasus had to offer. Discord and the monsters got into a competitive winning streak with Indominus in the arcade games, while Scootaloo and Rainbow had a game of air hockey to test their skill. Later the ponies spent some time on the Ferris Wheel while the others explored more of the attractions. The monsters actually scared the ponies in the pyramid more than the actors within, but they got welcomed for adding to the attraction. Armored Lizard, Swamp Battleguard and King of Yamimakai were beginning to understand what the dinosaurs meant by being accepted by the ponies of Equestria.

Discord refrained from using any of his magic, for he didn't want to aggravate Indominus or Fluttershy. He even got to perform in the dancing game alongside Indominus while Rainbow and Fluttershy watched. Despite his appearance, Discord had some serious dance moves and was able to keep pace with the hybrid dinosaur. When they were finished, both hybrids got great applause from the ponies that were watching. They even received warm hugs from the ponies that they cared most about, and Discord was feeling more accepted the more time that he spent around Indominus and the dinosaurs.

As the day started drawing to a close, Indominus and Rainbow decided to relax back at the Golden Pony Hotel. Goldenrod was a tad frightened upon seeing the monsters just like every other pony over the day. Indominus explained that they were his friends and that they were just hanging out for awhile, so the staff agreed to let Discord and his monster pals stay until they wanted to leave. The couple decided to do something that they hadn't done before: taking a nice warm bath in the hotel's outdoor baths.

Discord, the monsters, Indominus and Tyrannosaurus got to use the stallion side of the bath while Delta, Charlie, Echo and Blue joined the girls on their side. None of the guests were using the bath so they got to have the whole bath to themselves, but their was a wall between them so there wouldn't be any peaking. It was a precaution the hotel had taken so their guests could bathe in peace without having to worry about being peaked at by prying eyes.

"Ah, I've never knew that ponies could provide such comforting baths," said Discord.

"This feels so soothing, who knew that we were missing out on comforts this great," said Armored Lizard.

None of the monsters had ever had a bath before, so the warm water was incredibly soothing to their battle hardened bodies. Discord was enjoying the bath just as much, not because of the comforting water but because it was an experience he was sharing with his friends. Ever since Indominus had become part of his life, Discord had been getting more involved with the dinosaurs, the Mane Six and the monsters he had created. His life was becoming more exciting and fun, and he was going to use every available opportunity to return the favor to the hybrid that had become one of his closest friends.

They could hear the girls laughing and splashing each other on the other side of the bath. Discord got a wicked idea that would make the night more fun for Indominus.

"Say Indominus, would you care to join the girls in their bath?"

"What!? Discord I can't intrude on the girls' bath, that's not proper of me."

"What if the girls all agree and are fine with you being with them? I'm sure Rainbow would be glad to be right beside her husband in the warmth of a bath."

"Well, if they are ok with me being over on their side, I'd be fine with it but-"

"Oh girls, Indominus is wondering if he could join all of you on your bath."

The ponies stopped their laughter as they spotted Discord sitting on top of the wall that divided both sides. Rarity immediately tried covering herself, forgetting that they didn't need to worry about being spotted by Discord or the others.

"Well, Ah don't see any problem with Indominus being with us, do any of ya'll?"

"Normally I wouldn't allow a stallion into the girl's bath, but I'll make an exception with Indominus."

"We don't mind having Indominus with us," said the CMC.

"I'd like to have Indominus close to me again," said Rainbow. That was all Indominus needed to hear in order to know the girls were fine with him being there.

The next thing the ponies saw was Indominus climbing onto the wall and sitting beside Discord on the wall. If it wasn't for the lightweight spell Twilight had given him, Indominus would've already destroyed the wall from even attempting to climb it.

"So I take it this is you getting me back for having you sing to Fluttershy?"

"This makes us even my friend. Now we don't owe each other for helping with impressing and wowing our girls. I'm just trying to give you as much time with your girl, think of it as my way of saying thanks for being such a good friend."

Indominus and Discord shared a fist bump and the hybrid dinosaur gave the Lord of Chaos a friendly wink before he climbed over the wall and slid into the water. Discord went back on his side and he, T-Rex and the monsters all tried to hear exactly what Indominus and Rainbow were doing. They could hear Rainbow's delighted laugh as Indominus swam up to her and held her close to his body. Her friends and the raptors were all smiling in delight upon seeing how much happiness was written on Rainbow's face.

"Go on Rainbow, kiss him. Show him how much you love him," said Rarity.

"Kiss him. Kiss him. Kiss him." The CMC were chanting the same words that the lovers had heard countless times before.

So Rainbow increased her size to match Indominus, and they held each other close in the water.

"So Indominus, shall we show them how much we love each other," Rainbow said in a sweet and delightful tone.

"I'm ready to continue our passionate loving babe, so let's do it."

Indominus held Rainbow in his claws and began lightly twirling her body through the water. He had one hand placed behind her head so he could look into her eyes. Rainbow kept giggling softly as Indominus held her so delicately and moved in for a kiss. Their lips met and from there it was the same passionate kissing that they had experienced every single time. The ponies all had blushes forming on their faces, they knew Indominus and Rainbow were being intimate, but the amount of love they were showing each other through the kisses was so adorable.

Fluttershy, Rarity and Applejack all smiled for the couple, now that they were seeing the proof of their love for each other, there was no doubt in their feelings. The CMC were applauded the couple for their strong love, T-Rex, Discord and the monsters were giving cheers from their side and the raptors gave happy cheers. Indominus and Rainbow were almost so lost in each other's embrace and kissing that they didn't hear the applause. They broke out of their passionate kissing long enough to look at their friends.

:Now do you believe that we love each other beyond the shadow of a doubt?"

"We never doubted you for a second darling, this shows how deeply you and Indominus love each other and that nothing will separate you two."

"We'll never be torn apart Rarity," said Indominus. "I'll never turn my back on my girl," before he went back to kissing his amazing wife.

Later on after the bath had ended, Discord and the monsters went back to their dimension. Tyrannosaurus and the raptors had escorted Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack and CMC back to their hotel in Las Pegasus, but not before Scootaloo and Rainbow got to share some heartfelt hugs. Rainbow reminded her daughter that they would always be a family, no matter where she and Indominus were. The lovers slept that night with plenty of love in their hearts and the golden trophy sitting by the plush dragon in their room.

Unfortunately, as with honeymoons, all good things must come to an end. For in the future was a challenge that would shake Indominus's relationship with Rainbow Dash, and stir up the most bitter rage that would drive Indominus over the edge.

Author's Notes:

Now things are beginning to change, Indominus will face a difficult challenge that is going to test his mind and soul. The next few chapters will take a turn from the happy moments, and show a dark side of the hybrid dinosaur.

Dream Come True

The rest of the honeymoon went by rather quickly after the visit that Discord had set up for the married couple. Rainbow and Indominus spent their mornings living large in Las Pegasus and competing in all the wonderful games. When night fell, they danced their hearts out at the hotel and Indominus continued to serenade his girl every time. He did his best every time to make Rainbow feel like the center of Equestria, and she returned the dinosaur's affection with sweet loving and kisses when he did. They had achieved a love that was one of the rare few found in Equestria, a love that would be able to take on any obstacle and endure.

After their time in Las Pegasus had ended and the lovers returned to Ponyville, they immediately took on the promise they had made to Scootaloo. For Indominus, being a parent was something he had no idea how to handle, but Scootaloo made it easy for him by telling him all the guidelines and not getting into trouble. The hybrid dinosaur always made sure to spend plenty of time with her, and the family would take flights together on the evenings, which was something Scootaloo had never experienced with her former parents. He was really good at being there for Scootaloo when it came to school, and with Diamond Tiara having changed her ways, he no longer had to worry about his daughter being bullied. He and Rainbow made quality meals for her and the dinosaurs, they hung out like a true family should, and Indominus even tucked Scootaloo into bed a few times.

Given that Rainbow's bed was big enough for the rexes, herself and Scootaloo, there was no need to spend money on another one. Scootaloo didn't even want a separate room regardless, she felt safe sleeping beside her idol and saviors who had been with her through the entire ordeal she had experienced. One night, as Indominus tucked her into bed while everyone else was still downstairs, she said the most amazing words to the hybrid dinosaur.

"For a first time dad, you're doing pretty good Indominus."

"You think so Scootaloo," Indominus said as he pulled the covers over her. "All my life, I've only ever been called a weapon or a monster."

"Those from your old world didn't understand you. They didn't the strength and heart you've shown us. You are loved and welcomed by all the ponies in Ponyville Indominus. You, T-Rex, the raptor squad, all of you are heroes to us, we could never think less of you." Scootaloo was getting sleepy so Indominus decided it was time to let her get her rest.

"Goodnight Scootaloo," Indominus said softly.

"Goodnight daddy, I love you."

Once Scootaloo closed her eyes, Indominus reached forward and gently nuzzled her face and whispered "I love you too, my amazing daughter."

Indominus had gone back downstairs that night and told Rainbow and the others what Scootaloo had said to him.

"Well you did save her from Spoiled Rotten and Sheer Cold, and you've looked after her for months, that would leave a parental impression on a filly Indominus," said Blue.

"You should be proud Indominus, you and I are making a difference in her life," Rainbow added. "I've seen part of the struggle she went through before all of you came along. To be a parent and a savior to her is a remarkable feat."

"Yeah, we've done our best to care for her while you two were away, but we couldn't be parents to Scootaloo," said Tyrannosaurus.

"Thanks brother, and I'm glad you kept your word about waiting for her to be older."

Tyrannosaurus had been making slow progress with Scootaloo compared to Indominus and Rainbow. While they did love each other, Tyrannosaurus couldn't show too much affection since she was still so young. But Scootaloo didn't care, he had done just as much for her as Indominus, so she had no problem with kissing him when he showed up during lunch or after school. He had also kissed her in the full light of the moon at the Gala, so there was no denying his feelings for her. The dinosaur was merely trying to be respectful, while giving Scootaloo plenty of love at the same time. The rest of the family went off to bed that night, with Indominus still finding it incredible that their lives had turned around so much.

But as time went on, a challenge would arrive that would test the strength of the married couple's bond, and Indominus's willpower.

A few months after the wedding had taken place, on one afternoon, Rainbow and Scootaloo were taking a casual walk through Ponyville. The dinosaurs were all in the forest, getting their hunt in and their meals for the afternoon. The Wonderbolts were scheduled to begin their tour of Equestria in a week, but Rainbow didn't seem overly excited about it. Scootaloo had even promised her that the Rainbow Dash fan club would be there to cheer her on when the tour came through Ponyville.

"The thing is Scoot, I won't actually be performing. Reserves aren't allowed in the show unless a real Wonderbolt can't perform. I'll probably be working crowd control or something." But that wasn't what had Rainbow not so excited about the tour, it was dealing with seeing Soarin again.

He hadn't shown his face much since his run-in with the dinosaurs at the Gala. She and Indominus had blown him away and the dinosaur had even insulted and bested Soarin in a brief scuffle. When Soarin had been escorted from the Gala, he swore that Rainbow would regret choosing Indominus over him. She had no idea what a rage driven Wonderbolt was capable of, nor did she want to find out. Because if Soarin went far enough, it would get Indominus's attention, and the results could be catastrophic. Scootaloo helped pull the rainbow mare from her thoughts.

"You'll still be wearing a Wonderbolt's uniform, right?"

"A reservist one, yeah."

"That's good enough for me, and I'm sure Indominus would enjoy seeing you looking good in it too." This caused Rainbow to blush, something that Scootaloo still liked seeing out of her idol/mother/sister.

"Oh please Scootaloo, Indominus thinks I look good regardless. He doesn't love me for my lo-"

Rainbow was interrupted when she and Scootaloo heard a rumbling in the area, and looked up to see three of the Wonderbolts in the sky. They could see that Spitfire was leading the formation, and Rainbow was really glad Soarin wasn't among the group. She never got tired of seeing the ponies she idolized so much showing their skill in the air. Spitfire pulled away from the group as they continued on and made her way towards the sisters.

"Oh, oh, she's coming in for a superhero landing." The pair watched as Spitfire stopped herself mid-air and performed a landing that knocked away some debris.

"Rainbow Dash, glad we found you, We need you in the show when we get to Ponyville, flying." Rainbow's mouth fell open and her eyes shrunk at what she had heard.

"But she's only in the reserves," said Scootaloo.

"Not anymore kid." This caused Rainbow to gasp in shock.

"Y-you mean?" Scootaloo also gasped when Spitfire nodded her head in response. The filly flung her front hooves around her sister's neck and cheered in delight.

"Rainbow Dash, you're finally a full fledged Wonderbolt!"

Scootaloo was dancing and cheering ecstatically while Rainbow seemed frozen in place, unable to process what she had been told.

"What she said," said Spitfire. Rainbow's face began to morph into one of the biggest smiles she ever had.

"Thank you Spitfire, I promise I won't disappoint you."

"That's good to hear, report to Wonderbolt Academy tomorrow for your first day and be ready to learn the routine."

Spitfire was about to take off when the Arkenstone ring caught her eye.

"Rainbow Dash, I didn't think that you were the type to find a stallion and settle down. That is a very impressive ring, who got it for you?"

"Oh, the stallion that caught Rainbow's eye is one of a kind. He's In-" Scootaloo was suddenly stopped by Rainbow putting a hoof to her mouth.

"What Scootaloo was saying is that the stallion that got me this ring is incredible and caring, but he mostly spends his time training in the Everfree Forest."

"Why would he train there?"

"To become the best fighter and husband he can possibly be."

"Huh, that's a rather, unique kind of stallion. Don't see many of those around nowadays. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow, but try to avoid wearing the ring during practice. Wouldn't want you to lose it."

"I got it mam, I'll put it away before training."

So Spitfire left the sisters to regroup with her fellow Wonderbolts, leaving the sisters to ponder over everything.

"Why didn't you let me tell her about Indominus?"

"Because if Spitfire found out that I'm married to a dinosaur and have a family of them living with me, she'd think I was crazy or worse, ask Soarin for confirmation. Since he's seen all of them, he could try to get the Wonderbolts to come after them, and it would be terrible."

"Why? Indominus and T-Rex can take care of themselves."

"Not our family Scootaloo, it would be disastrous for the Wonderbolts, because if they tried to fight our boys, they would all die. Then how would our family look, being responsible for killing the Wonderbolts?"

"I can see why you stopped me, and you were right to do so Rainbow."

"That aside, we need to find our family and hold a group meeting tonight so everypony can know about the great news."

Later that night, after Rainbow had told the dinosaurs and they had informed the rest of the Mane Six, they were all in Rainbow's cloudominium as she began packing for her trip to Wonderbolt Academy. They all knew how long Rainbow had been waiting for this moment in her life, and that she was finally going to live her dream at last.

"So Rainbow, do you have time to tell us all the details," asked Twilight.

"Well not much really, Spitfire said the Wonderbolts need me to go on tour with them."

"That's wonderful," said Fluttershy. "We all know how long you've been waiting for a spot to open up."

"She also mentioned that I probably shouldn't wear my ring during practice."

"Why of course not Dashie, Indominus went through a lot to get that ring for you. It would be awful to lose it while you're there," said Rarity.

"Don't worry, I'm allowed to keep it in my locker, so that I can always think about my hybrid dinosaur while I'm away. In regards to the open position, Fire Streak decided to retire and teach full time. I have to report to Wonderbolts Headquarters tomorrow morning, they were kind enough to give me a week to learn the routine so I'll have it nailed by the time the show begins."

"Awww! You're leaving Ponyville again!? It seemed like you only just got back from your honeymoon with Indominus."

"Pinkie, I'm not leaving Ponyville, I just have to train for this show. However, there is something that concerns me."

"This wouldn't happen to be about Soarin, would it," asked Applejack.

"Uh huh, he's been rather elusive lately and I'm not sure what he'll do if he sees me wearing a uniform."

"He did swear that Rainbow would regret choosing Indominus over him, so who knows what he's capable of," said Scootaloo.

"I wouldn't worry about it too much Rainbow," said Twilight. "If Soarin acts out of line I'm sure the other Wonderbolts will set him straight again. Just focus on living your lifelong dream in the morning."

"Also, if anything happens that bothers you, just tell us about it," said Blue.

"We'll help in any way we can," Delta added.

"Yeah, you girls are right," Rainbow said before looking at her daughter. "Sorry that I have to take off like this again, Scootaloo."

"Hey, I'll be seeing you when you come back every night, and I'll get to see you perform in your very first show."

"Besides, if Soarin does try anything, we'll be there for you," said Tyrannosaurus.

As the night dragged on, Rainbow's friends all left for home so the family could get some shut eye. Indominus had a hard time falling asleep, because he was too anxious about what might happen at Wonderbolts Headquaters. Given that Soarin's beef was with him alone, the stallion might try and take his frustration out on Rainbow as payback. Eventually, Indominus was able to shake those thoughts from his mind and fall into a calm sleep. Little did he know that the morning would bring with it, an experience that would turn his world on its head and awaken a dormant anger that had been buried in his heart.

Hidden Vengeance

The next morning came quickly and Rainbow could hardly wait to get to Wonderbolts Headquarters. The family went through breakfast and dropped Scootaloo off at school. Indominus carried Rainbow's bag with him so she wouldn't have to race back home to get it. Rainbow promised Scootaloo that she would fill her sister in on all the details when she got back. Then it was time for Rainbow to be on her way, but not before giving Indominus one more goodbye.

"See you later Indominus. I'll be sure to let you know how my first day went."

"I look forward to hearing about it my Dashie," Indominus said while nuzzling his girl. Rainbow took her suitcase and began making her way towards the Wonderbolts compound.

Now the dinosaurs were by themselves for the first time in a while, they didn't have their girls to be with or any of their friends to hang out. Indominus did have one idea, and Tyrannosaurus could read it like an open book.

"You're planning on following her and seeing her first day for yourself, aren't you?" There was no point in trying to hide the truth from his brother.

"Yeah, I am. But it's not just for me, I'm concerned about what Soarin is gonna do to her. He'll have an opportunity to get back at her with us not around this time."

"I understand brother, but if we do go there, you can't go charging out and attacking the Wonderbolts. This is Rainbow's dream, and you can't take this away from her. She can take care of herself and you can't always be there to save her."

"I know, but if Soarin does do anything, then you and the girls will have to stop me."

"Well what are we standing around for, let's get moving and see how Rainbow does with the Wonderbolts," said Echo.

So it was decided, the six dinosaurs began making their way after Rainbow Dash while keeping themselves hidden amongst the clouds. They set up a mind link with each other so nopony in the area could hear them and Indominus camouflaged his skin so he could hide more easily. They followed after Rainbow's scent which led the group towards a towering island in the middle of the sky. On the island was obstacle courses and a runway, and around it were clouds that served as an access point to the runway. Ponies in uniforms were flying around the area and practicing, there was no doubt that the dinosaurs had found the Wonderbolt Headquarters.

The rexes shrunk themselves down to size so they wouldn't be spotted and the dinosaurs all sat on a row of clouds that overlooked the whole area. Thanks to Indominus's camouflage and their binocular vision, they had the best seat in the house and could pick out anypony that might dare mess with their girl.

Inside the compound, Rainbow was putting her luggage away in her locker while Spitfire gave her a quick briefing.

"Alright newbie, get into your uniform and be out on the field in the next five minutes. You'll be learning the majority of the routine today, and the rest of the week will be focused on memorizing it. The rest of the team will be arriving soon, and we'll be counting on you to make a huge impression."

"I understand mam, I'll have the routine nailed in no time."

"I sure hope so, oh and by the way. You might want to keep an eye on Soarin, he's been acting rather strange lately ever since the last Gala."

Rainbow had a pretty good idea as to why Spitfire would say that. She didn't know that Soarin had been beaten and humiliated by Indominus or that Rainbow had assisted the dinosaurs in stopping him. While Spitfire left the locker room to meet up with the others, Rainbow spent that time getting her uniform on and admiring how she looked as a true Wonderbolt.

"Looking good Rainbow Dash. Now, it's time to go out there and show them what you've got. Look out Wonderbolts and say hello to your best flyer ever." Before she left, Rainbow made sure to take off the Arkenstone ring and took a minute to admire it. "Indominus, no matter where we are in the future, I'll still love everything you've done for me." She put the ring in her locker and went out to the field.

From the dinosaurs' perspectives, they saw Rainbow Dash head out of the main compound and onto the field. Scootaloo had been right when she said that Indominus would love how Rainbow looked in the uniform. He had wide eyes and couldn't take his eyes off of his girl, she looked so stunning in the sleek outfit.

"Easy there big boy, don't get too mesmerized by your girl's looks. It looks like we have some unfriendly company heading our way."

Indominus followed T-Rex's gaze and saw a pair of Wonderbolts heading towards the cloud opening that led to the runway. The wing pony was a light blue pegasus with a white mane named Fleetfoot, but the lead pony was the one pony Indominus dreaded to see around his girl again, Soarin. The hybrid dinosaur didn't know just what had happened to Soarin after the Gala, but he had another reason to be concerned. Indominus was shifting his sight back and forth between Rainbow and Soarin, and a haunting realization dawned on him.

Rainbow was crossing the runway to meet up Spitfire and a few other Wonderbolts. Soarin was diving towards the runway and gaining speed, he wasn't showing any signs of slowing down. From Indominus's perspective, it looked like Soarin was aiming to barrel through Rainbow Dash and she wasn't aware that he was heading towards her. Indominus had the sudden urge to roar and warn his girl, but Spitfire beat him to the punch.

"LOOK OUT!"

Rainbow turned her head sharply and saw the two Wonderbolts heading for her. She jumped out of the way of Fleetfoot and barely managed to stop herself just inches from a pair of garbage cans. Rainbow was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly she felt something buck her from behind with such force that it sent her crashing through and into the garbage can. Her head was spinning from the impact, and the first thing that she was greeted with was a disappointed look from Spitfire, and a comment from Soarin that sent awful memories running through her mind.

"Nice going there, Rainbow Crash!" Immediately, the other Wonderbolts joined him and what was shocking to the dinosaurs, was that they were following suite and laughing at Rainbow Dash.

"Rainbow Crash! HA, good one Soarin," Fleetfoot said tauntingly. The other Wonderbolts were laughing and jeering at the name, but Rainbow looked so broken and depressed upon hearing it.

That nickname had been a traumatic experience ever since her first days at flight school. Her flight hadn't been as good back then, and when she tried to show off for her class, she wound up in a garbage can just the same. Three colts had given her the awful nickname, the whole class was laughing at her and even the instructor was laughing at the crash. It had shaken up Rainbow's spirit and nearly broke her determination to fly back then, now her idols and heroes were calling her the same nickname and taunting her with it.

Indominus was seething with anger and gritting his teeth at what he was witnessing. The Wonderbolts may not have seen it, but Indominus and the dinosaurs had seen what really caused Rainbow to crash into the garbage can. She had managed to stop herself just in front of it, but Soarin had angled an attack into his approach and smacked Rainbow from behind. His sneak attack had caused Rainbow to barrel into the can and he had made it look like she had done it herself. However, that wasn't the only reason why Indominus was so angry at the Wonderbolts.

The name they were calling Rainbow Dash was identical to how Indominus had been called an abomination, a weapon and a monster by the creatures from his old world. Ever since he was born, Indominus had been at the mercy of others, other creatures held authority over him and made him feel weak and despised. They had called him numerous names during his life in isolation, performed grueling experiments on his body, and said such awful things about him. Seeing Rainbow Dash being mocked and taunted by the Wonderbolts was bringing those painful memories to the front of the hybrid's mind.

"Ugh, what a hideous creation."

"This monster will make a fine weapon of destruction one day"

"No one is ever going to love this wretched abomination of a dinosaur."

"It'll be the nightmare that everyone will fear."

The only thing keeping Indominus from flying down and ripping the Wonderbolts to shreds was T-Rex and the raptors standing in front blocking his path.

"You can't go down there Indominus, you'll only make things worse for her,"

"Give me a good reason why I shouldn't go down there and kill those filthy rats." The level of anger in Indominus's tone echoed into the dinosaurs' minds. Seeing Rainbow Dash being laughed at by the Wonderbolts had really shaken him up. Delta spoke in a calm tone in his mind.

"Because if you go down there and kill them now, what will Rainbow Dash think of you?" Indominus's gaze hardened at Delta, like he was baring javelins down upon her. The raptor kept her cool and stood her ground against the emotionally distraught hybrid.

"So what are you saying, Delta? That I should just let them get away with hurting Rainbow like this?"

"I'm saying that you can't be so direct with your vengeance. You need to deal your vengeance while keeping yourself hidden so Rainbow and the Wonderbolts don't know that it's you. Use your camouflage to attack those rats during their practice run every time they call Rainbow that wretched name. Especially Soarin, since he's the one that started this and brought it upon the rest of his team."

Listening to Delta's idea of hidden vengeance cooled the rage in Indominus's heart, and he was able to think about her plan. He was a fast enough flyer to keep pace with the Wonderbolts and attack them one at a time, so Rainbow wouldn't get suspicious. He would also need to keep an eye on Soarin, because he had a sickening feeling that the Wonderbolt wasn't done beating on Rainbow just yet.

"Alright Delta, I like the way you think. But first I need an opportunity for this to work."

"Then let's get back to watching them and see what happens next."

Back on the field, the Wonderbolts were still laughing at Rainbow, who was getting irritated with their attitude.

"Soarin, you made me crash into the garbage can."

"I did no such thing, you were the one that forgot the most basic rule, Rainbow Crash."

"He's right, you didn't even bother to look both ways before crossing the runway," said Spitfire.

"But I was at least a foot away from the garbage before something knocked me into it."

"It doesn't matter, what's important is that nopony got hurt. Now let's get moving, we've got a routine to nail."

As the Wonderbolts took off, a yellow pegasus with a light blue and white mane named Misty Fly called out.

"Better get to it, Rainbow Crash. That was amazing."

Rainbow took a few minutes to clean herself off before joining up with the others. Indominus saw his opportunity presenting itself, and he expanded his wings. T-Rex and the raptor squad took shelter within the clouds as Indominus took off from his perch and went skyward. He continued to climb until he was at least two thousand feet above the Wonderbolts. From such a height he could see everything that was taking place while they were going through their routine. He could even hear Spitfire giving out orders, one of which was aimed at Rainbow, who was having a tough time keeping up with the others.

"Higher Crash, you're breaking formation!" That remark made it easy for Indominus to pick out his target, especially since she was just standing on a cloud, barking orders over a megaphone.

Indominus nosed over and dove on the Wonderbolts, accelerating past five hundred miles per hour. At nearly three times the speed of the best flyers in Equestria, he closed rapidly, centering his sights on Spitfire. The lead Wonderbolt had no idea that the Untamable King was boring down on her from above. From their perch, T-Rex and the girls could just barely make out Indominus's camouflaged body. At the speed he was going, any attack that he made would be extremely painful.

"Pick up the pace Cra-"

Spitfire didn't get the chance to finish her order as Indominus punched her squarely across the face. The Wonderbolt felt her world turn on its side, felt her body go limp and became unconscious. Indominus zoomed away from his attack, too fast and too well camouflaged for any other ponies to track him. But his attack did get the attention of the Wonderbolts, who broke the routine to dive after their falling leader. Spitfire was sent tumbling out of the sky and heading towards the ground, while Indominus sat upon another cloud watching the scene play out.

Rainbow's speed grew beyond the other Wonderbolts and she pulled ahead to get closer to Spitfire. Both ponies were hurdling towards the ground, but Rainbow closed the gap between them and pulled Spitfire out of her dizzying dive. When they touched down on the runway with the others, Spitfire was slowly regaining consciousness. Her head was still spinning from the velocity and strength Indominus had put into his attack. Luckily he hadn't put any real strength into the hit, or the dinosaur would've taken her head off.

"You alright mam?"

"I think so, something really hard hit me in the face. Felt like a huge piece of concrete smacking me in the head. Yet there was nothing in the air that could do that."

Indominus was pleased that his attack had Spitfire stumped, but he had other attack runs to make, and a whole day to carry them out. Spitfire shook off the sneak attack and got the Wonderbolts back into their routine, and Indominus went skyward again. This time the Wonderbolts were going through a maneuvering and weaving part of the routine. With all the pegasi flying in such close proximity to each other, it was going to be tough for Indominus to get a clean shot. Nonetheless, the hybrid dinosaur was determined and not about to let the Wonderbolts get away with insulting his girl.

Indominus dove towards the weaving formation, still having difficulty singling out a target. He slashed and tried ramming them, but the maneuvering made it impossible for him to score any hits. His focus fell back to the last two ponies in the formation, Rainbow and Soarin. Indominus noticed something odd going on, Rainbow was actually dodging and maneuvering more intensely than the others. He could see that Soarin was trying to throw punches at Rainbow, trying to make her screw up and crash again.

"They just keep making it easy for me to find my target."

Indominus dove away from the formation to regain speed and pulled back into his climb. Going at the Wonderbolts from underneath and camouflaged, Indominus was perfectly poised to make his attack. As Soarin was getting ready to make another attack on Rainbow, he felt an incredible amount of pain being driven into his chest and his body being sent away. Indominus had nailed a single punch at Soarin's chest and had sent him careening into a cloud. Thanks to his camouflaged skin, Indominus wasn't spotted by Rainbow who was able to focus on the routine again.

Soarin angrily began scanning the sky for his attacker, but he couldn't spot Indominus who was watching from another cloud with a big grin on his face. It had made Indominus's day to see Soarin so flustered and furious after his attempt at trying to hurt Rainbow. But then he heard Soarin mutter something under his breath.

"One way or another, I'm going to make your life a miserable hell, Crash."

As Soarin took off, Indominus flew back up to get his sights back on his girl. He found her flying slightly out of formation with two Wonderbolts. Soarin was speeding back toward her and flew parallel to Rainbow. As they got near the runway, the two lead Wonderbolts pulled a tight ninety degree left turn. Soarin cut Rainbow off with his turn and she was forced to pull left sooner.

"Tighter Crash, get in there!"

Spitfire must've been asking for it, Indominus had already dealt her a tough blow and yet she was still calling Rainbow that wretched name. He decided to go for an extreme, he would fly along the length of the runway and deal Spitfire another blow. But having to camouflage his skin to so many different colors at high speed would surely give him away. Indominus didn't care about the consequences as he dove back towards Spitfire and prepared for another attack. As he closed in on his target, Indominus was unaware that Rainbow was being targeted as well.

He dealt Spitfire a backhand slap that knocked her and the megaphone onto the runway. But as he pulled ahead from his attack run, Indominus witnessed a horrifying sight. As Rainbow tried to pull in tighter with the two lead Wonderbolts, Soarin dealt her a sneak attack of his own. The stallion struck Rainbow across the face with a backhoof, and it sent her careening into a white Wonderbolt with a yellow mane named Surprise, sending them spinning into clouds.

"Wow Crash, where'd you learn to fly, Flight School for Complete Newbies?"

From the brokenhearted look on Rainbow's face as she took off her googles, Indominus was growing more furious. It wasn't just Soarin, each of the Wonderbolts were hurting and insulting Rainbow. He angrily zoomed towards Surprise as she began to fly away from Rainbow Dash. The Wonderbolt didn't get more than five feet into the air before Indominus dealt her a strong backhand that sent her spiraling into more clouds. Indominus quickly zoomed skyward and sat upon a higher cloud, so none of the Wonderbolts would hear his low, furious growls.

In spite of everything he had done to them, they were still continuing to insult Rainbow and call her that vile name. Soarin was attacking her on purpose, screwing with her focus and confidence, and in the process, making Rainbow mess up in front of the others. The rage was starting to build in his heart, Indominus was getting close to roaring out in anger, when his family called out to him.

"No Indominus. Don't roar!"

Indominus instantly snapped his gaze to the left as T-Rex and the raptor squad flew over to him. Thankfully the Wonderbolts were finishing up their routine, so they didn't notice the dinosaurs.

"He's making this personal," Indominus shouted inside the dinosaurs' heads. "He's attacking her during the routine, making her mess up and the rest of them are still calling her that name!"

"We know Indominus, Soarin is incredibly stubborn for a pony that doesn't know when to accept that someone is better than him," said Tyrannosaurus.

"What are you going to do now Indominus," asked Blue.

"I'm going to leave them a little warning when their training is finished, and I need to get inside the locker room."

Indominus bolted away from his family and started making his way towards the bunkers.

"Indominus! You can't go in there, you'll be fou-!"

"I'M DOING THIS, AND ANYONE THAT TRIES TO STOP ME WILL BE SORRY!! I'M GOING TO MAKE IT SO THEY'LL NEVER HURT RAINBOW AGAIN!!"

The fury of Indominus's tone was escalating, and from the way he was practically bellowing inside their minds, Tyrannosaurus had no choice but to trust his brother. There was nothing they could say or do without enraging him even more, So the five dinosaurs left the Headquarters to go and pick Scootaloo up from school. They decided that they would keep quiet about what they had seen during Rainbow's first day as a Wonderbolt until she came clean and told them herself.

Indominus snuck past the Wonderbolts and inside the bunkers. He crawled along the ceiling so as to avoid drawing attention to himself. He continued to search the building until he had found the locker room, then he crawled into a corner, camouflaged his skin into pure black so he looked completely invisible and waited. He didn't have to wait long as the Wonderbolts were already heading into the locker room. His heart felt like it was breaking apart upon seeing the sad and broken look on Rainbow's face.

"Hey Crash, I know you had a tough day today, but don't worry, you'll get the hang of it." It still irritated Indominus to hear them call her that, and he could see that Rainbow was trying to hide her inner pain.

"Tough day? Please, if I can pull off a Sonic Rainboom I can learn this routine. I just had some trouble because somepony kept messing me up."

"You can't blame others for the mistakes you've made," Soarin said slyly. "Well now, what do we have here?" Soarin suddenly reached inside Rainbow's locker and took out the Arkenstone ring. Indominus clenched his claws against the wall in anger at how Soarin was teasing Rainbow, and none of the Wonderbolts were doing anything to stop him.

"Hey give that back Soarin!"

"Why? I think the others want to see the great ring that your precious husband picked out for you."

Soarin began tossing the ring amongst the other Wonderbolts and Rainbow was getting more frustrated. Spitfire was just watching the whole ordeal, playing it off as nothing but the Wonderbolts breaking in a newbie. None of them could see that Rainbow was getting so upset and angry with all the teasing until she snapped.

"ENOUGH! GIVE ME BACK MY RING SOARIN!!"

"If you want it so badly, then go get it."

Soarin tossed the ring across the locker room and it slid into the showers. Rainbow
went to go get it, but Soarin tripped her up with one of his hooves. She ended up skidding
across the floor and slamming into the lockers. The Wonderbolts were erupting with laughter
and Rainbow was beyond furious with them. She angrily slammed her hoof against the lockers
and it silenced the Wonderbolts.

"You ponies think it's funny to watch others suffer!? Is this how you treat all your teammates, by breaking their spirits and taunting them?"

"Hey lighten up Crash, this is how things are done around here," said Spitfire. "Now go and get that ring Clipper, since you were the one who threw it in there."

"Ok boss."

Soarin smuggly strolled past the distraught Rainbow Dash and into the showers. He found the ring laying in a corner and grabbed it.

"I should just smash this ring, and make it look like an accident."

"If you did that, then I would have to mount your head over our fireplace."

The low, deep voice caught Soarin by surprise, then he felt a handful of claws tightening around his neck. Indominus held Soarin by the neck in a vice grip and whispered a serious threat.

"You listen to me, Wondernothing. I've seen everything that you've done to my girl today, so consider this a friendly reminder. You go near Rainbow Dash again, and I will smear your blood all over this compound, and make it look like a dragon massacred your sorry hide. I don't tolerate ponies that hurt my girl, especially ones that only want her for their own, selfish, reasons!"

Indominus nailed Soarin right in the face and the attack sent him flying right out of the locker room and back out into the hallway. Indominus silently climbed out of the shower and back into the dark corner as the other Wonderbolts went to check on Soarin. Rainbow Dash however, went into the shower to retrieve her ring and was glad that it hadn't been damaged. Something very bizarre had been happening to the Wonderbolts all day every time they called her that awful nickname.

They always got pounded or smashed whenever they called her that nickname, and Soarin was getting the worst of it.

"What happened Soarin?"

"I'm not sure, something grabbed me by the throat, but there wasn't anything in there. I heard a deathly voice talking to me and the next thing I know I'm punched in the face and knocked back here."

"Yeah, same thing's been happening to most of us all day. There's definately something strange going on here."

"Well we can worry about it after the tour is over. Oh, that reminds me, Rainbow Dash, over here."

Rainbow flew over to the group who went back into the locker room after Soarin had shaken off the blow.

"Glad you're still here, I wanted to give you this to help motivate you some more."

Spitfire handed Rainbow her very own Wonderbolt jacket. Rainbow was thrilled for awhile, until she saw the symbol that had been sewn onto it. It was a picture of her cutie mark, crashing through a stop sign.

"Rainbow Crash? Couldn't you have just put my regular name on it?"

"That's not how it works around here. We all have our nicknames on our jackets, right Flatfoot?"

"Yes maam."

"Flatfoot?"

"Oh and there's one more thing I've got to mention. I know you've been a reservist for a while, but the Bolts have a few rules of their own that you're probably not aware of."

Rainbow nervously turned around and found the others holding cleaning equipment in their hooves. They handed Rainbow a broom and bucket.

"Like the worst flyer of the day, has to clean up the whole compound. Also, now that you have your own jacket it's offical. Welcome to the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Crash." Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts left the locker room, still laughing at Rainbow's nickname and misfortune.

Once she was sure that all the Wonderbolts were gone, Rainbow angrily threw the broom on the floor and tossed the jacket into her locker. Then she finally broke down after everything she had endured on her first day. It just didn't make sense how her first day of living her dream could go so wrong. The ponies she looked up to all her life, had rediculed her, didn't believe what she had to say and disregarded her own feelings. Fortunately, Rainbow wasn't the only one suffering, for her lover was also shedding tears in his corner.

It just broke Indominus's heart with all that he had seen. He thought that Sheer Cold and Spoiled Rotten had been bad with the way they had treated Scootaloo, but this was much worse. The Wonderbolts were convinced that Rainbow had been messing up all day on purpose, when Soarin had been causing all those mishaps and made it look like Rainbow was a screw up. He would have to deal a deeper and more bitter vengeance in order to make the Wonderbolts regret what they had done to his girl.

Indominus watched Rainbow clean the entire compound with that heartbroken look in her eyes. There was no way he could comfort her without exposing himself, and having to reveal what he had been doing all day. When Rainbow was finally finished cleaning up the entire compound, she removed her Wonderbolt uniform, put the broom and bucket away and proceeded to leave. Before she left, Indominus heard her give one desperate wish as she gazed at her ring.

"This is not the dream I had envisioned for so long. If this is how the Wonderbolts treat me and nopony else, then I wish somepony would give them the greatest vengeance ever. If only you could do that for me, Indominus."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z06LXZQwkrc

Indominus crawled down from his corner after Rainbow had left. He knew that he had to honor her request after all she had gone through. There was no way he was going to allow the Wonderbolts to get away with this kind of torment. Indominus silently crawled through the compound, checking if any Wonderbolts were still awake. Thankfully night had fallen, and all the Wonderbolts were sound asleep. This gave Indominus the perfect opportunity to carry out his vengeance.

Indominus slipped back into the locker room, conjured up the noise cancelling bubble until it covered the entire room, then he finally let loose with the anger he had suppressed during the entire day. He roared his very lungs out in the locker room, slashing at every locker he could see and smashing them over and over with his fists. He tore several of them out of the wall and stomped the lockers into pieces. Indominus's claws tore and sliced through the lockers like they were tin foil, he was intending to let the full extent of his anger be known to those wretched rats. The hybrid dinosaur even tore apart a handful of uniforms, leaving them as shredded rags alongside the demolished lockers. When it came to Spitfire and Soarin's lockers, Indominus sunk his claws into the doors and ran them through the lockers as his sign for a vendetta.

He had remembered which locker Rainbow had used, opened it and took out the jacket Spitfire had handed her. Seeing that filthy nickname sewn onto the jacket, labeling Rainbow as a screw up was infuriating to Indominus. Every fiber in his body screamed for him to tear the jacket to shreds, but he stopped himself. There had to be a better way to defy those scoundrels than simply destroying Rainbow's jacket. The dinosaur looked at the symbol, then back to his body and a brilliant thought occurred to him.

"Yes, of course, a brilliant idea. Much more satisfying than simply destroying the jacket. This will be my way of defying the Wonderbolts and their horrid ways."

Indominus had to calm himself down in order for his idea to work. So he tried to think about all the time he and Rainbow had spent in Las Pegasus. The bonding and love they had shared during their honeymoon helped sooth the hate and anger in the dinosaur's heart and mind. Once he could think clearly and didn't feel so furious, Indominus got to work.

He took a claw and began to slowly trace around the symbol on the jacket. He had to take his time with this procedure, because one slip could shred the jacket. His claw carefully carved out the symbol, only taking out a thin portion of the jacket. Then Indominus placed the symbol over his arm and tried to focus on camouflaging the area that the symbol was covering. When he pulled it away, Indominus was pleased to see Rainbow's cutie mark captured perfectly on his arm. Now it was time for the hard part of his plan.

Indominus placed the symbol back over the same part of his arm, then dug his sickle claw into his skin and began to carve out the area that the symbol covered. The pain of having his own claws slicing through his skin was grueling, but Indominus didn't care about the pain. The dinosaur had experienced so much pain already from watching Rainbow suffer, so it was nothing to him. He continued to dig into his skin until he pulled out the camouflaged portion with Rainbow's cutie mark on it. He then bathed the skin with his power until it shined like polished metal.

The cutie mark on the torn out scales stood out well, and Indominus was glad it worked out. His skin was already healing itself as he placed the new symbol onto the spot he had carved out of the jacket, poured his energy onto it and watched in awe. His power was sewing the symbol back into the spot he had carved out, making it look as if the jacket hadn't even been touched. Now instead of her cutie mark crashing through a stop sign, Rainbow's jacket now had her cutie mark on Indominus's scales. It was a sign of ultimate defiance against the Wonderbolts and their rules.

Indominus wasn't done yet, he had to leave a warning so the Wonderbolts would know that there would be hell to pay if they hurt Rainbow again. Indominus took his sickle claw and carved a threatening message into the wall of the locker room by the showers. To add a finishing touch to his warning, Indominus sliced his chest with his claws and let the blood flow into each letter. The final coup de grace was taking the original symbol that he had cut off the jacket, and smashed it into the wall just underneath his message. Now the locker room looked like a savage beast had gone and destroyed everything in sight, except for Rainbow's locker. Satisfied with his handiwork, Indominus dispelled the bubble and left the locker room.

The hybrid dinosaur was finally heading back home after all the work he had put into warning the Wonderbolts. But as he got closer to Rainbow's clouddominium, the words he had heard began to echo in his mind, causing the rage in his heart to return. Indominus could still hear the hurtful name and the taunting laughs back and forth in his head. The hybrid dinosaur had to stop at a cloud to try and clear his head again, but the words didn't go away.

"One way or another, I'm going to make your life a miserable hell, Crash."

"Higher Crash, you're breaking formation."

"Better get to it, Rainbow Crash."

"Nice going there, Rainbow Crash."

Indominus wasn't aware of it, but his body was beginning to transform from the rising rage in his heart. Once he started seeing the golden flames flowing around him, he knew that he couldn't let Rainbow or his family seem him in such a distraught state. He had to find somewhere to vent all his rage and hopefully quell the fury within him. Indominus dove towards the Everfree Forest and flew towards Froggy Bottom Bog to take out his anger. Once he touched down, Indominus unleashed a powerful blast upon the area and roared like a demonic monster.

"I WILL HAVE VENGEANCE ON THE WONDERBOLTS!!!!!"

The hybrid dinosaur tore wildly at the trees, blasted everything in sight, all while the voices and taunting laughs continued to plague his mind. Poor Indominus was being driven insane by his rage and the Wonderbolts' actions, now his rage was taking over and destroying everything in sight.

Author's Notes:

Indominus is experiencing true pain, and his rage is taking over and turning him into the monster of destruction he was originally intended to be. Things are not going to be safe for the Wonderbolts, or Equestria. Speculate on how the story will go from here now that Indominus has seen the Wonderbolts hurting Rainbow Dash.

Containing a Rampage

Night had fallen and Rainbow had finally touched down at the entrance to her home. After all the taunting and laughing she had endured, it was nice to be back home where the Wonderbolts couldn't mock her. She opened the door, and was greeted with a party cannon blasting her in the face with confetti.

"Surprise!" Rainbow was taken aback by everypony being in her home and seeing it decorated with streamers, balloons and a poster that had obviously been drawn by the CMC.

"What is all this?"

"i know you must be tired Rainbow, but Pinkie insisted on throwing you a proper party. The dinosaurs are all here too, except we can't seem to find Indominus."

"Indominus isn't here? That's not like him, he seemed so eager to find out how my day went. But I think he'd probably lose his mind if he found out how it went."

The sudden lack of eagerness in Rainbow's tone got everypony's attention, except for T-Rex and the raptors. They knew why Rainbow was so downhearted, and more importantly, where Indominus probably was.

"Um, is something wrong Rainbow Dash," Fluttershy asked.

"What could be wrong? I'm finally a Wonderbolt, which means everything has to be totally, perfectly, awesome," Rainbow said in a sarcastic voice.

"Oh no, something is wrong. What happened darling?"

"Oh I don't know, how about the Wonderbolts calling me, Rainbow Crash? Or Soarin attacking me during the routine and making me crash my teammates? Or how about taking my ring away from me and playing keep away with it like it was a toy!"

All the ponies and the dinosaurs were equally surprised at how upset Rainbow sounded.

"Soarin did what?"

"He actually attacked ya during the routine? Ah can't believe he would stoop to such a level."

"He had the gall to steal your ring and tease you with it," Blue said in anger.

"They called you that same terrible nickname those bullies in flight school used to call you," said Fluttershy." Rainbow acknowledged the question with a pained nod.

Twilight flew over to her distraught friend, who was joined by Scootaloo and they hugged Rainbow Dash.

"I'm sorry that happened to you Rainbow," said Twilight.

"I can't believe he did that to you. He's really held this much of a grudge over you since the Gala? You didn't deserve any of that."

"Thanks little sis."

"Please tell me something good happened, at least he got his punishment, right?"

"Well not exactly Scootaloo. During the routine, strange things were happening to some of the Wonderbolts, including Soarin."

"Strange how?"

"First, Spitfire got knocked out cold and sent out of the sky. Soarin got socked in the gut and sent into the clouds, and Surprise and Spitfire got smacked around by something too. It was so strange how they kept on getting attacked every time they brought up that nickname. Almost like somepony was looking out for me during the entire practice. Which reminds me, why isn't Indominus here guys? He's not out on some late hunt, is he?"

"Sorry darling, when we got here, they said Indominus was still out and that he would be back later."

Rainbow turned her attention to the dinosaurs, and T-Rex was starting to get nervous.

"Tyrannosaurus, do you know where Indominus is?"

"Well Rainbow, the thing is-"

T-Rex was suddenly interrupted as the whole cloudominium was rocked by an explosion in the distance. The group looked out the window and saw a massive column of fire erupting over in the Everfree Forest, in the vicinity of Froggy Bottom Bog. Tyrannosaurus suddenly got a strange feeling in his heart, and he could hear faint roars coming from the explosion. They weren't just the roars of the Manticores, they were roars that he recognized.

"Oh no. Indominus, what's happened to you, brother?

Blue and her girls could see the worried looks on their friends faces, and had a bad hunch that Indominus was somewhere within the vicinity of that explosion.

"Girls, we'll be right back after we find out what caused that explosion. Rexy, let's go take a look and see what's up."

Tyrannosaurus could tell that Blue was trying to be as discreet as possible, to avoid worrying Rainbow or Scootaloo.

"Of course Blue, we'll be back in a while girls, make sure you save some excitement for us when we come back, and Rainbow Dash." Tyrannosaurus knelt down beside Rainbow and whispered to her. "No matter what the Wonderbolts say or think of you, we still think you are the best flyer there is. Also, Indominus would be proud to see you flying at your best."

Rainbow nuzzled against T-Rex's head after hearing his kind words, it was the first great amount of comfort she had received all day.

"Thanks Tyrannosaurus, I needed to hear that. I'm still grateful that all of you were chosen to be part of our family." The dinosaurs flew off and headed toward the Everfree Forest. They were completely unaware of the disaster that was waiting for them once they reached Froggy Bottom Bog.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MXD78OAVJXg

As Tyrannosaurus and the raptor squad got closer, they could see more flames erupting from the bog. Clouds of billowing smoke rose from the area as the dinosaurs drew closer. More explosions were happening and rocking the area with great force. Tyrannosaurus was hoping that Indominus wasn't responsible for all the devastation, but when they touched down after clearing all the smoke, his worst fears were realized.

The entire bog was being enveloped in rising fire, blasts were being fired in all directions, and at the heart of all the destruction, was Indominus Rex. He was firing blasts at everything in sight, being covered partially by the golden flames along with his red energy and roaring wildly into the sky. He didn't look like the same dinosaur that T-Rex had known over the last year. He looked more like a distraught monster that had lost his mind and was being taken over by anger. A deadly shout from him rattled their bones to the core.

"WONDERBOLTS!! I WILL KILL ALL OF YOU!!!" The hybrid dinosaur unleashed another blast upon the area, sending more debris and flames into the air.

Despite all the damage and fire that surrounded them, Tyrannosaurus boldly stepped forward to confront his brother. As soon as he stepped into the water, Indominus immediately turned in his direction. His slit pupils were gone, all Tyrannosaurus could see was glowing red eyes glaring back at him.

"Easy brother, just relax and try to calm-" Tyrannosaurus didn't get to finish his sentence as Indominus suddenly exploded from the ground and charged at him with a wild roar.

T-Rex barely managed to dodge the attack as Indominus's fist caused shock waves to be sent all over the bog. There was no reasoning with the hybrid dinosaur, he was too consumed by anger to listen to anything. Tyrannosaurus realized that there was only one way to contain his brother's rampage.

"Blue, Delta, Charlie, Echo, ATTACK INDOMINUS!!" The raptor squad didn't hesitate to transform after seeing Indominus's wild behavior.

Tyrannosaurus seized a rare opportunity and clamped down on Indominus's neck. Delta and Echo grabbed his arms so he couldn't strike back, while Blue and Charlie began charging up blasts to fire at Indominus's face. It would've worked under normal conditions, but the dinosaurs had severely underestimated the power of a hybrid's rage. Indominus stood up to his full height and bellowed a tremendous roar, which knocked Blue and Charlie away. Then he used an insane amount of strength to throw Delta and Echo off his arms, and grabbed Tyrannosaurus by the underside of the throat.

Indominus clenched his claws into T-Rex's skin and it caused the king of the dinosaurs to release his grip. The hybrid then pinned his brother to the ground and towered over him. Deadly growls escaped his jaws as the overwhelmed dinosaur bared his teeth down upon T-Rex.

"Brother please, don't you know who I am? It's me Tyrannosaurus Rex."

From Indominus's perspective, he wasn't seeing the raptors or Tyrannosaurus. In his eyes, all he was seeing were the Wonderbolts laughing at him. His anger was clouding his mind so much that the hybrid dinosaur was seeing the Wonderbolts all around him. Indominus was under the delusion that the Wonderbolts were attacking him, not his family. In his mind, what he was baring down on wasn't Tyrannosaurus, but instead, Spitfire.

"Way to go Crash, you're even more of a disgrace and embarrassment," was what the delusional Indominus heard the Spitfire say to him."

"Her name is not RAINBOW CRASH YOU WRETCHED WONDERBOLT!!! I WILL DROWN YOU IN YOUR OWN ROTTEN BLOOD!!!"

When T-Rex heard what Indominus had bellowed, he knew his brother had truly succumbed to his anger. As Indominus moved in to bite his neck, T-Rex fired a blast at his chest and it threw the hybrid away. Blue and her girls rejoined T-Rex after the attack to figure what was happening to their brother.

"What's happened to him T-Rex," asked Blue.

"Why is Indominus talking like we're the Wonderbolts," said Echo.

"I'm afraid it's worse than I thought girls. Everything that Indominus had seen and heard has clouded his mind. Hearing the Wonderbolts insult Rainbow so much has stirred up a deadly rage in Indominus's heart. Now that anger has gotten into his mind, and now he's under the illusion that the Wonderbolts are mocking him and Rainbow Dash. He even sees us as the Wonderbolts themselves."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm positive Blue," said T-Rex as they saw Indominus getting back up with not even a scratch on him. "When he had me pinned, he called me a 'wretched Wonderbolt.' It was like he didn't even register that I'm a dinosaur. We have to stop him before he destroys everything around him."

"How do you plan on stopping him T-Rex?"

"Simple, we just have to attack and blast him hard enough to knock him out cold. Then we'll take him back home and let him rest up."

It was a simple idea and could work, but knocking out a deranged hybrid dinosaur who's mind was being driven insane by rage was not so simple. Indominus came charging back towards the group and the five dinosaurs charged back towards him. This time when Indominus lunged at them, T-Rex ducked his head and then smacked Indominus with an uppercut. The raptors followed up with blasts that were fired at Indominus's head. The hybrid dodged Echo's and Blue's attacks, but Delta and Charlie's blasts impacted his face.

The blasts exploded on impact, but Indominus just stared back at them with the menacing red eyes. He had taken both blasts and didn't even flinch, when those same attacks had put serious damage in Black Death. He retaliated by punching the raptors that had attacked him and sent them crashing into some trees. The strength from his punch had knocked Delta and Charlie out of the fight. Tyrannosaurus was shocked at seeing how Indominus wasn't showing any restraint at all.

Indominus glared at the two Wonderbolts he had knocked unconscious. He had an evil, wicked smile growing on his jaw.

"You rats can't stand up to one punch from me. Now that just leaves the three rats that hurt Rainbow most." Indominus turned his attention back to the three Wonderbolts he was seeing in front of him.

He was facing off against Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot, and despite everything that he had already done, they continued to mock him.

"Some great Guardian you turned out to be," the Spitfire illusion taunted.

"Yeah, Rainbow Crash will belong to me while you're rotting in a grave," said the Soarin illusion.

"We'll hurt her so much that she'll want to end her own life just to be with you again," said the Fleetfoot illusion.

"You filthy piles of horse shit will never hurt my Rainbow. I WON'T LET YOU HURT HER!!!"

"His delusions are getting worse girls," T-Rex said after he Blue and Echo dodged a thunderous blast from Indominus.

"If we don't stop him soon, he'll start seeing every creature he comes across as the Wonderbolts," Echo called out.

They never got the chance to counterattack as Indominus grabbed Blue by the leg and threw her across the bog. Her body impacted the ground, and bounced three times before colliding with a rock. Echo fired a blast at Indominus to avenge her sister, but Indominus charged straight through the attack and grabbed the velociraptor by the throat. Then with a single powerful blow to the chest, Echo felt all the air leave her lungs and felt her body go limp. That only left T-Rex, who came running over and clamped down on the back of Indominus's head.

The sneak attack caused Indominus to drop Echo, and then Tyrannosaurus blasted his brother at point blank range. Tyrannosaurus put so much power into the attack that it sent Indominus reeling until it exploded in the water. This time the hybrid had taken the damage, for his brother was a great deal stronger than the raptors. Unfortunately, it only seemed to make Indominus more furious as he roared wildly into the sky and the golden flames began to circle his body like a rising geyser. The rexes collided with each other, and the struggle was on.

Indominus and Tyrannosaurus bit down, slashed and fired blasts at one another, neither one giving an inch. T-Rex had to be more careful because he didn't have long arms to use against his brother, but that didn't mean he had to hold back. His bites dug deep in Indominus's hide, and the hybrid felt every ounce of pain, but his overwhelming anger let him push through the damage. He nailed a punch strong enough to stun Tyrannosaurus, then he grabbed his brother's head and threw him to the ground. Indominus then placed a foot on T-Rex's body and held his neck down with one arm.

"Don't do this brother."

"Your cruel grip on Rainbow ends now Shitfire!!"

Indominus closed in on T-Rex with his jaws wide open and ready to crush his brother's neck. The hybrid was so focused on killing the illusion in front of him that he failed to notice a much bigger creature coming at him from above, until it was too late. Indominus was nailed right in the face by a pair of scaly feet, and the force from the attack sent him flying back into the bog. Tyrannosaurus couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the creature fly over him and go after Indominus.

"Smaug!? What are you doing here?"

"Getting my pupil back under control and stopping this rampage!"

Smaug touched down in the bog and ran after Indominus, who was beginning to recover from the attack. The dragon lord threw a punch as Indominus charged him, then slipped behind the hybrid and tried to restrain him. Smaug grabbed Indominus by the underside of the head with one hand, and tried to restrain his arms with another. Despite the golden fire licking away at his body, Smaug held his ground to try and stop his student.

"Indominus, STOP THIS NOW!!!" The hybrid savagely struggled against his mentor's strength, and Smaug used it to throw Indominus into a boulder.

Smaug finally saw the crazed red look in the hybrid's eyes, and saw the rage burning within them. Once Indominus charged him again, Smaug began throwing punches and slashing attacks at his student. The dragon lord's attacks packed more power than T-Rex's, and he was able to maneuver and dodge every attack the hybrid dinosaur tried to use against him. Unlike Indominus, Smaug had a clear head and could think clearly during the brawl. So he knew how to dodge all of Indominus's blows and counter with his own.

With his anger still growing Indominus fired a powerful blast at Smaug. The dragon ducked under the blast and smacked the dinosaur across the face. With Indominus stunned, Smaug seized the moment by grabbing the hybrid by the head, throwing him down into the water and pinning him. T-Rex and the raptors, whom had regained consciousness, watched in amazement as Smaug held Indominus despite the hybrid's raging power. Even though his was pinned and partially submerged, Indominus continued in vain to try and attack Smaug.

The dragon lord lowered his head to the water and bellowed in what was a combination of a yell and a roar.

"IINNDDOOMMIINNUUSS!!!!!!" The magnitude of his roar caused the whole bog to rumble, and for the first time, Indominus was silenced. Smaug's eyes glared their fiery golden color as he bore down on his student, who had finally stopped thrashing.

Indominus was just breathing slowly, as the effort and strength he had used took their toll on him. The dinosaurs and dragon lord waited with baited breath to see what Indominus would do next. Then Smaug breathed a sigh of relief as he saw the slit pupil return to Indominus's eyes, and the red glow fading. His red power and the golden flames were dissipating as well, and this pleased Tyrannosaurus and the raptor squad.

"At last, his rampage is over," said T-Rex.

"We're gonna have a difficult time explaining this to Rainbow and the girls," said Blue.

"Well first, let's see how our brother is doing after all that."

The dinosaurs approached cautiously, unsure if Indominus had calmed down completely. Smaug backed off as the hybrid got to his feet, he looked confused and drained after everything that happened. His body had even lost some of its color and was showing some of the wounds that hadn't healed. As he glanced at his surroundings and saw all the destroyed trees, burning fires and the destruction he had caused, Indominus had to ask one thing.

"D-Did I really do all of this?"

"Indeed you did Indominus, you were transforming into the Immortal Phoenix and attacking everything around you. You almost killed your brother and sisters in the process, and you weren't even aware of it. Your rage nearly killed most of your family, and you would've been stuck with that guilt for the rest of your life."

Indominus sank to his knees as Smaug's words sank in. He thought he had been killing the Wonderbolts, when in fact he had been attacking his own family. They had come to the bog to help him, and he had blindly attacked them under the influence of his rage.

"Smaug, how do you know about all this," was all Indominus could say.

"Because I've seen this before, in the dragon that had the Immortal Phoenix before you did." Smaug's tone was rather soft and calm, as he could see how upset Indominus was over what he had done. "Come with me and I'll explain everything."

The dinosaurs followed Smaug to a dense part of the forest away from the devastated bog. He kept Indominus under his wing to give the drained hybrid some comfort. When they reached a clearing, Smaug made a small fire and the group gathered around it.

"How did you know where to find us Smaug? Also, how did you manage to stop Indominus?"

"I felt that something was wrong with Indominus, so I left the Dragon Lands to see for myself. When I saw the explosions and the transformations, I knew that something awful had happened. As for stopping him, I used my roar of command. It's a special that only the dragon lord can have, it forces other creatures to submit to me when they get out of line. Thankfully it was able to work on Indominus and it stopped his rampage."

"Do you also know why Indominus was attacking everything in sight like a wild animal," asked Delta.

"Yes I do," he then turned to face his still beaten up prodigy. "You see Indominus, I told you before that I had seen the Immortal Phoenix only one other time. What I didn't tell you is what happened to the dragon that obtained it."

"What happened to that dragon? Is he still alive?"

"No Indominus, he died a long time ago."

"How? Was it because of the Immortal Phoenix," Tyrannosaurus asked.

"I'm afraid so T-Rex," Smaug said as he stirred up the fire to create images for the dinosaurs to see. "Long ago, a dragon by the name of Spawn was the first of our kind to ever achieve the Immortal Phoenix. None of us had ever seen anything like it, his power was incredible and his speed had gotten to where he could surpass any dragon, except me of course. Over time he learned how to tap into the power by drawing on his anger. Using rage is one way of drawing on the power itself and makes it easy to use, but the power has one fatal drawback."

"What do you mean by 'drawback,'" asked Blue.

"What I mean is while his power was amplified, so were all of his emotions as well, including rage. The more rage he used to draw on the Immortal Phoenix, the more his anger was consuming him through that form. During a fight against me he used the Immortal Phoenix for the last time, and all the rage took over him. It corrupted his mind and heart, turning Spawn into a mindless beast. He became so savage that he started attacking every dragon around him, he slaughtered hundreds on that day. I was forced to pin him down, and when my roar of command failed, I had no choice but to kill him. The Immortal Phoenix had made him not just a threat to dragons, but to all of Equestria."

"What would've happened if you hadn't killed Spawn, Smaug?"

"If I hadn't killed him Indominus, then the Immortal Phoenix would've killed him instead. You remember how after our Winter duel you were exhausted and nearly doubled over? Well the rage also eats away at your body's strength and energy, use the Immortal Phoenix for too long and it will kill you from the inside out."

Indominus had no words for what Smaug had told him. He had no idea that his newfound strength could also bring about his death.

"But Smaug, if the form can kill Indominus, why hasn't he died from all the times he used it while tapping into his anger?"

"Because T-Rex, Indominus has been using the right kind of anger."

"I have?"

"Yes, while Spawn cared only for himself and using the form to win become stronger, you've only used it to protect Rainbow Dash and your family. Spawn's selfishness fueled his anger, while yours has only been protecting your girl from any creature that's tried to hurt her. You always had Rainbow in your heart, and it allowed your anger to be focused and controlled. That's why you've been in complete control of the Immortal Phoenix, and know not to overwhelm your body. What I want to know, is what happened to make you lose so much control that your anger would take over and make you destroy everything just like Spawn."

It was a difficult subject to discuss, Indominus had already been through enough pain for one day. But at the same time he didn't want to look weak in front of his teacher.

All Indominus could say was "I'm sorry Smaug, I just can't tell you right now. It's more of a personal matter for me, let's leave it at that."

"It has to do with what he went through back in our old world" T-Rex added.

"I understand," Smaug lifted Indominus's face so he could look into his prodigy's eyes. "You don't have to tell me right now Indominus, but I would like to know so I can help you get through this inner struggle. Telling me about your troubles, doesn't make you weak in my eyes. I've seen your inner strength and I know for certain that you are not going to end up like Spawn."

"How can you be so certain?" Smaug spoke to Indominus in a soft and genuine voice.

"Spawn never cared for anyone else the way you do Indominus. You've put your life on the line for Rainbow Dash so many times, and it's shown just how strong your heart and spirit are. If you have any doubts, why don't you talk with her tonight and see if her past is similar to yours? Then you'll know for certain if your rage is justified."

To hear such kind and gentle words from the dragon lord was unheard of, but Smaug's words of guidance gave Indominus hope.

"I will, thank you Smaug. I also promise, that I will discuss this with you, once I can clear my mind."

"You can come to the Dragon Lands when you're ready to tell me about the source of your struggle Indominus. Everyone there will be glad to see you become more than what Spawn was."

Smaug bid his farewell to the rest of the dinosaurs and made his way back home. T-Rex and the raptor squad helped Indominus back home since his body was so drained from all the strength he had spent. They all carried Indominus on their backs as they flew back towards the clouddominum.

"Don't worry brother, we'll find a way to explain to the others why you look so tired."

"Thanks brother, and I'm sorry about what I did."

"It's not your fault Indominus, those rats and their words hurt you really bad this time," said Blue.

"We'll help you get through this, we're a family and family sticks together," said Charlie.

"Thanks girls, I'm so glad to be with understanding dinosaurs like you," Indominus said as he closed his eyes to try and relax.

They touched down right at the entrance to their home, and Indominus braced himself for what the ponies would say once they saw the poor state he was in.

Author's Notes:

A first glimpse at what kind of impact the Wonderbolts have had on Indominus. Also, the shifting moments in the fight are going in-between the family's perspective and Indominus's perspective. Something new I thought would make this chapter more interesting, to see the enemy from Indominus's rage clouded point of view. Now for what will happen to Indominus now after his rampage.

Concern for Indominus

The ponies all turned their heads towards the door as soon as they heard it open. They were all eager to find out just what Indominus had been up to. However, the second they saw the poor state the hybrid dinosaur was in, their eagerness dropped away. Everypony rushed over to Indominus once they saw all the marks and slashes on his body. Rainbow was truly worried seeing Indominus in such a hurt and defeated state. Judging by how T-Rex and the raptors were holding him up, Indominus had gone through some kind of rough ordeal.

"Indominus, what happened to you," asked Scootaloo as she nuzzled her surrogate dad in comfort.

"What in the wide world of Equestria did this to you darling?"

"I, I don't want to talk about it." The hurt and exhausted tone in the hybrid's voice told everypony that something terrible had gone down.

"It's alright brother, you just go get some rest. Rainbow, can you help Indominus up to the bedroom?"

"Of course T-Rex."

Rainbow increased her size slightly and put one of Indominus's arms over her shoulder to help him up the staircase. T-Rex waited until he heard the bedroom door close, and then told everypony what had happened.

"Tyrannosaurus, you have to tell us what's going on. Rainbow Dash is losing her spirit because of Soarin, and now Indominus looks like he just fought an army."

"Alright Twilight, but in order for it to make sense, we'll have to tell you everything that we've seen."

So Tyrannosaurus and the raptors told everypony about how they had followed Rainbow to the Wonderbolts compound. They had seen everything that Soarin had done to Rainbow Dash, and how it triggered some kind of hidden rage within Indominus. They admitted that they had encouraged Indominus to take his vengeance out on the Wonderbolts, and how he had used his camouflage to attack them.

"So Indominus was the one attacking the Wonderbolts that taunted Rainbow," asked Twilight.

"I'm afraid so," Blue answered. "He couldn't stand the thought of standing there and just letting his girl get hurt."

"Yet despite all the pain he inflicted on them, they still kept calling her that filthy nickname," said Delta.

"So Indominus had one final idea for taking his vengeance, he followed the Wonderbolts into their compound," said Echo.

"WHAT!?"

"Ya mean he actually went inside the compound where he could attack them all at once," Applejack said horrified.

"Didn't ya guys try to stop him?"

"It's not that simple Applebloom," said Charlie. "When we tried to stop him, he bellowed a threatening message into our heads."

The dinosaurs all relayed the exact same Indominus had bellowed at them. Everypony could feel the terrible rage in Indominus's voice within their heads. Scootaloo was especially afraid of the rage, it scared her to hear such anger in her dad's voice.

"I'M DOING THIS, AND ANYONE THAT TRIES TO STOP ME WILL BE SORRY!! I'M GOING TO MAKE IT SO THEY'LL NEVER HURT RAINBOW AGAIN!!"

When the message was over, nopony had an immediate response. Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy were frozen over in fear, they had never felt such rage before. The CMC were shaking in fright and went to the dinosaurs for comfort.

"That, was awful," said Rarity. "He had been hurt that much, and to have such rage in his heart."

"We were scared for him after he warned us. After that we had no choice but to let Indominus take his vengeance. We didn't hear from him after that, until a while ago."

The ponies all had shrunken eyes at what Tyrannosaurus was implying.

"You...you don't mean-"

"Yes we do Twilight," said Blue. "Those explosions in the Everfree Forest and the deadly roars, they were all caused by Indominus."

Twilight and the others were deeply worried as the dinosaurs continued. They told their friends everything that Indominus had done, even how the Immortal Phoenix was being brought out through his rage. Even how he had thought they were the Wonderbolts and had almost killed them if Smaug hadn't shown up. None of the Mane Six could believe how savagely Indominus had been attacking, and it explained some of the wounds on his body. When T-Rex told them how the Immortal Phoenix would kill Indominus if he lost too much control, that was it.

Twilight and her friends were at a total loss for words. Indominus's anger had been slowly killing him through his own power, and the Wonderbolts were responsible for all of it. Their bullying and taunting of Rainbow Dash had triggered a deep rage that Indominus had kept buried for so many years. Now that rage was taking over his mind, bringing out the Immortal Phoenix, and making him go on savage rampages.

"My friends, this is way over our heads," said Twilight. "Whatever happened to Indominus in the past has been brought to the surface of his mind. T-Rex, exactly what happened to Indominus in your old world?"

"I believe I can answer that Twilight," said Scootaloo. "When Princess Luna showed me their old life, I saw that Indominus had been kept in isolation for most of his life. Apparently he had been living that way for the last twenty years."

"Twenty years of isolation? He was at the mercy of others and left like that for that long?"

"It's true Twilight," Scootaloo said sadly.

"Oh this is much worse than I thought. We're dealing with an unstable hybrid dinosaur, who has been in isolation and dominated by others for twenty long years. He is experiencing true emotional pain for the first time in his life, and he sees only one way to end it."

Everypony gasped in horror as Twilight gave her answer.

"Indominus will not stop until he has killed all of the Wonderbolts."

"But Twilight, are you sure that he'll really kill all of them," said Fluttershy. "When I met him, Indominus told me he had been changed by Scootaloo's love."

"He might've been changed Fluttershy, but that doesn't mean he had gotten rid of his anger. He must've kept it buried after spending so much time with us. Besides, he was disillusioned and saw his own family as the Wonderbolts and almost killed them. If his anger could affect his mind that much, there's no telling what it could do to him. Indominus has the power to carry out his vengeance and there is almost nothing in all of Equestria that can stop him."

"Almost? What do ya mean by 'almost' Twilight?"

"I'm saying Applejack, that the only one that might be able to stop Indominus, is comforting him in the bedroom. Rainbow knows Indominus better than any of us, and she knows how to fight him as well. Unfortunately, there is a massive conflict involved in this: Rainbow loves Indominus but she also respects the Wonderbolts. There is going to be a battle on the horizon, and the outcome will be determined by Rainbow's choice. When everything is settled, there will be one of two outcomes. Either the Wonderbolts will die by Indominus's claws, or he will die trying to kill them."

The others were silent as they let everything that Twilight had said sink in. This was a more tense situation than dealing with Scootaloo's parents and Black Death. So many lives now hung in the balance, including the life of a Guardian. Indominus was going yo have a confrontation with the Wonderbolts, but the outcome of that fight would ultimately be determined by Rainbow Dash's decision. She would have to choose between the ponies she looked up to, or the dinosaur she loved.

While the dinosaurs and the rest of the Mane Six discussed how to keep an eye on Indominus, Rainbow was comforting him in their bedroom. She had never seen her husband so hurt before, and his wounds were taking longer to heal despite his power. As she ran her hooves across her husband's face to sooth him, Rainbow felt she had to talk to him.

"Indominus, what happened to cause all this damage to you?" The hybrid struggled to find the right words without giving away his real reason.

"Something terrible that cause my anger to take over. It almost made me kill my brother and sisters." This shocked Rainbow completely.

"But what happened to trigger such anger in you?"

"I can't say right now."

"Not even to me?"

"I'm sorry Rainbow, it's a personal matter." Rainbow laid her hoof down on Indominus's hand to show that she understood.

"I understand Indominus, believe it or not, dealing with the Wonderbolts today brought up a personal matter from my past." Indominus knew that he was close to finding out the truth. He needed to know more about what had upset Rainbow so much, and then decide if his anger towards the Wonderbolts was justified. He slowly sat up and held Rainbow's hoof in his claws.

"Alright Rainbow, I'll tell you what brought up all that anger, but you have to tell me your past first."

"Promise you won't tell anypony about this?"

"Just like on our honeymoon, whatever happens between us doesn't leave this room. I won't tell anypony about this."

Rainbow climbed onto the bed and Indominus moved over so she could say beside him. She had never confided in anypony before about her past, but after all the Indominus had done for her, she felt she could trust him. So with Indominus holding her hoof, Rainbow began telling him about her past.

"I wasn't always the best flyer in Equestria, Indominus. Back when I was a filly, I had trouble flying straight and often couldn't control where I ended up. But that didn't stop me, I was going to be the best flyer one day. So when I joined flight school, I was determined to make a big impression and show everypony what I could do. Unfortunately, my wings wouldn't cooperate with me on my first day and I wound up crashing into a garbage can."

Indominus could see that tears were starting to form in Rainbow's eyes as she continued.

"Once I crashed, everypony started laughing at me, including the instructor. Then this light brown colt started calling me 'Rainbow Crash' and the next thing I knew, everypony was chanting the nickname and taunting me. They were all making fun of me and didn't care that I was hurt!"

Once Indominus heard those words, he knew that Smaug had been right. Rainbow's past was identical to his, she had gone through taunting since she was a filly, while Indominus had been taunted his whole life. The hybrid dinosaur held his girl as the tears overwhelmed her.

"I can't believe they did that to you Rainbow. I'm so sorry, you didn't deserve any of that."

"Yeah, and now the Wonderbolts are calling me that same nickname, all because Soarin pushed me into a garbage can! Yet none of them would believe me, they think I did that to myself."

Indominus just held Rainbow close while she let her tears out. He didn't say a single word, he just let Rainbow vent out her sorrow to him and gave her the comfort she had desperately needed. When she was finished, Indominus gently stroked her mane and Rainbow looked into his eyes.

"Incredible, despite how hurt you look, you still manage to comfort me and make me feel worthwhile, Indominus."

"I'll take all the pain in the world, if it means I can see you smile, my Dashie." Rainbow felt herself blushing from hearing Indominus's beautiful and touching reply. "I assume those bullies are still around?"

"Indeed they are, they attended the Young Flyer's Competition a few years ago. I won the contest and even though they tried to sound like they cared, I knew deep down that they were still calling me that nickname."

"Did these stubborn rats have names?"

"Oh how could I forget them. Hoops, Dumb-Bell and Score, the bullies that taunted me as a filly and still do to this day."

Before Indominus could answer, he heard the bedroom door open up. Scootaloo, T-Rex and the raptors came into the bedroom, looking a little concerned for their brother.

"How are you doing brother," asked Tyrannosaurus.

"You look a lot more at peace Indominus," said Scootaloo.

"I am guys, having Rainbow by my side has helped me a lot. I hope that the others aren't too worried."

"You can see for yourself, Indominus," said Blue. The raptors parted to reveal the rest pf the Mane Six and CMC standing behind them.

"Are you doing ok Indominus," asked Pinkie Pie.

"We were really worried once we saw how ya looked," said Applebloom.

"I'm doing a lot better girls, and your timing is perfect. I feel that all of you need to hear this, I was about to tell Rainbow Dash about my past."

This surprised everypony, they didn't think Indominus was ok enough to talk about something so personal. Scootaloo may have seen part of the life Indominus had been living before, but now she was going to hear the absolute truth about what the hybrid dinosaur had gone through. Everypony gathered around the bed while T-Rex and Scootaloo joined their family.

"My past was far more cruel than any creature should ever receive. I was born in a confined space in some kind of lab with only one other of my kind. We grew up being at the mercy of the creatures that had brought us into this world. They prodded our bodies with needles and subjected us to grueling experiments. The more they experimented on me, the more my rage for those wretched creatures grew."

The ponies were getting more nervous as Indominus continued, they felt sorry for the pain he had gone through since birth.

"Over the years, my rage as well as my body grew. Once I reached a big enough size, my sibling and I were moved into a bigger enclosure, or so I thought. Our new home was nothing but a cage, with massive walls on every side, cutting us off from everything else. Plants were placed all around us that stung and snapped against my body with every step. Those rats could watch us from a glass sealing that could take the full force of my claws. I could hear them taunting me with their cruel names, and all I wanted was to get revenge on them. Then one day, my rage went too far and I did something that still haunts me to this day."

"What did you do Indominus," asked Twilight.

"I, I went and killed my own sibling." Rarity and Applejack held their sisters close with worry, they had never heard of a sibling being killed.

"I'm sorry that you girls had to hear that, what I did back then was out of spiteful rage. One day that younger Indominus Rex had just been with those creatures and was steaming with anger himself. He foolishly decided to take his frustration out on me, a mistake that would prove to be his last. He got one slash across my chest, and I retaliated with brutal savagery. I broke one of his arms, pinned him to the ground, and crushed that fool's skull in my jaws."

"We're sorry Indominus," said Twilight.

"Those ruffians brought that kind of pain on you, and it made you take out your only companion?"

The ponies were beside themselves with grief, they walked over and gave Indominus a huge group hug. He had kept that kind of pain and hatred buried for so long, now they understood why he was so intent on making the Wonderbolts pay. What they were doing to Rainbow Dash, was nearly identical to the treatment Indominus had gone through.

"We'll make sure that doesn't happen to you again Indominus," said Fluttershy.

"Those ruffians can't hurt you anymore," said Rarity.

"We're sorry about what you've gone through, brother," said Delta.

"Thank you everypony, I'm grateful that I got to tell all of you about my past."

Later in the night, after everypony had gone home, Indominus was still awake while his family slept. He had so much to take in, and plenty to think about. Rainbow had been bullied most of her life, and those same bullies were still alive. He had to take care of them and the Wonderbolts, without relying too much on the Immortal Phoenix. His anger could call upon it against his will, and it would turn him into a corrupt monster. Thankfully, his friends had vowed to find a way to help Indominus get rid of his rage.

Twilight had promised Indominus that she would find a way to help him vanquish the anger that plagued his heart. Fluttershy told him that he could always visit her cottage if he ever needed some tranquility and peace. Applejack agreed to show him more healthy ways to vent his anger without destroying too much. The hybrid was grateful for their concern, but he had bullies that he needed to rid Equestria of first.

"My Dashie, you've gone through too much suffering already," Indominus whispered softly. Thankfully, Rainbow was too sound asleep to hear him. He gently stroked her mane as he spoke quietly. "These bullies have hurt you for the last time, so I have made my decision. I will find them, and kill them all. I won't let anypony hurt you ever again."

Indominus would begin his hunt in the morning, and the bullies of Rainbow's past and present would find themselves being stalked by a vengeful hybrid dinosaur.

Startling Discovery

Rainbow Dash was really nervous about going back to the Wonderbolts compound. After how Soarin had screwed up her routine and gave her that wretched nickname, she wasn't sure what he would do next. Indominus gave her plenty of comfort and support as they walked Scootaloo to school. He was looking forward to what Rainbow had to say after all the Wonderbolts saw Indominus's message. Before Rainbow left, Indominus made sure to give her assurance.

"If things get overwhelming and you need some support, just keep your ring close to you. It's a reminder that you and I are one, and that I'll always be with you."

"When did you become so poetic Indominus," Rainbow asked while hugging him.

"Since the night when we danced at the Gala, my Dashie."

Rainbow promised herself that she would find a way to repay her husband for all his kind and thoughtful compliments as she took off. Before Scootaloo went inside the schoolhouse, she had to ask her hybrid father something important.

"Indominus, are you going to be ok with how the Wonderbolts are treating Rainbow Dash?" Indominus was confused by the bizarre question at first, but he remembered last night and how everypony had been so concerned for him. He nuzzled his surrogate daughter and whispered.

"I'll be fine Scootaloo, I'm just going to make sure that Rainbow will never get hurt again. If Soarin or any of them go too far, then I will take action. In the meantime, you just make sure that Rainbow doesn't let any of their bullying get to her."

"I promise daddy," said Scootaloo.

"That's my girl. Now you better get going, it's time for school. We'll be back later to pick you up."

"Promise me you'll be here this time?"

"I promise."

The dinosaurs said bye to Scootaloo as she walked into the building. Then the six of them gathered in the Everfree Forest for a meeting.

"Exactly what did you do inside that compound, Indominus," asked T-Rex.

"I simply left the Wonderbolts a message, as a warning to them should they try to hurt Rainbow or call her that nickname again."

"What kind of message," said Blue.

"I tore apart their locker room and destroyed most of the lockers, that's all." The raptors were shocked by how calm Indominus was.

"You did WHAT!?"

"You went and destroyed their property? Indominus, your actions are going to make them point the accusing hoof at Rainbow Dash. She'll take the blame for your vengeance," said Delta.

"You didn't see what I had to witness, Delta. Soarin was making everything miserable for her. He made her crash into lockers, took the wedding ring and kept taunting her with it. They even engraved the nickname onto a jacket and let serve as a reminder of a blunder that wasn't even her fault. How could I just sit there and do nothing!? I LOVE RAINBOW TOO MUCH TO WATCH HER SUFFER!!"

The dinosaurs went silent, everything Rainbow had told them last night was exactly what Indominus had seen for himself. He had watched the Wonderbolts bully Rainbow Dash and had been unable to defend her. His rage and vengeance were more than justified now.

"So it is true, the Wonderbolts really are nothing but a bunch of bullies," said Tyrannosaurus.

"I wouldn't do anything reckless without good reason, brother. Now I have to hear from Rainbow on what the Wonderbolts think of my handiwork. I even did a little number on the jacket they gave to Rainbow, by carving the symbol out and putting her real name on it."

"What sort of material did you use," asked Charlie.

"I used by own skin, by camouflaging a small portion of my scales, cutting them out and using my power to place it on the jacket."

"Wow, that's some serious dedication, Indominus, said Echo. "But if you're not going to go after the Wonderbolts now, what are you going to do in the meantime?"

Indominus was about to tell them, but he remembered that he wouldn't tell anypony about her past. He had to be as discreet as possible without making his family suspicious.

"There is another matter that I have to take care of, by myself."

"You're not planning on using the Immortal Phoenix on some undeserving soul, are you brother," said T-Rex aggressively. Indominus looked his brother square in the eyes and spoke with complete certainty.

"I would NEVER disregard what Smaug told us last night. I know now that I can't use this power freely anymore, and I don't plan on using it. As long as my anger doesn't take over, I'm the one in control. But you are right to be concerned, I hurt you guys last night and I'm still feeling the guilt of what I almost did. I'm truly sorry for attacking you all like that."

The raptors increased their size and joined Tyrannosaurus in giving Indominus a family hug. They knew he wouldn't forget that fight so easily, Indominus still had so much regret and guilt on his heart.

"We know, brother." said Rexy.

"We just don't want to see you get hurt anymore than you already have," said Blue.

"Nor do we want you to die. You're the big brother we've never had," said Delta.

"Or the father that Scootaloo has never had," said Echo.

"We don't want you to leave us Indominus. Everypony will miss you and Rainbow will be heartbroken," said Charlie.

"Thanks you guys, and I swear on my life that I will avoid using the Immortal Phoenix until I can find a way to overcome my anger."

The dinosaurs separated from their family hug, glad that Indominus wasn't blinded by hatred and anger. They split off to go on their own hunts, but Indominus took flight out of the forest, and headed for a new location. While he wasn't going after the Wonderbolts, he had other bullies to hunt down. He was on a flight to Cloudsdale, to find the bullies of Rainbow's past and kill all of them.

When Rainbow arrived at the compound, she made her way inside and headed towards the locker room. She was expecting to get another earful from her teammates, but was surprised to find none of them up yet. When she got to the entrance to the locker room, Rainbow froze to the spot in horror at the gruesome display. At that moment, the other Wonderbolts could be heard getting closer.

"What's the deal Crash, is there somethi-" Fleetfoot didn't even finish her sentence once she and the other Wonderbolts got a look at their locker room.

Most of the lockers had been smashed, destroyed or torn to pieces. Their belongings were scattered all over the floor and most of the uniforms were in torn shreds.

"What happened in here, this room was completely normal last night," said Spitfire.

"Why don't you ask the only pony that was in here last night, and possibly had a rage fit," said Soarin.

The Wonderbolts instantly glared at Rainbow Dash, who had no idea how she could be responsible.

"I didn't do any of this, I just cleaned up the compound and left last night. This room was untouched when I left."

"Was it Crash, or were you just too sore and furious from not being able to handle your nickname?"

Rainbow was appalled by Spitfire's response, even she thought that Rainbow had trashed the place. It was just like when Rainbow had been accused of sending her away to take her spot in their Canterlot show. Then Surprise called them over to a marked locker.

"Uh Spitfire, I don't think this was Crash's doing. Unless she somehow grew claws overnight?"

"What do you mean by 'claws?'"

Spitfire got her answer when she caught sight of her locker. It bore the marks of Indominus's claws and they ran right down the entire length of the locker. Soarin called her over to his locker once he saw the damage done to it, and his bore the exact same marks as Spitfire's.

"This doesn't make any sense. Whoever did this had to be a Wonderbolt, nopony else knows where our compound is located. Unless it wasn't a pony. But what kind of creature could sneak into our locker room and cause this kind of destruction?"

As Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts' confusion continued to build, they caught sight of two things that made their blood run cold. One was a pair of footprints that were right in front of the far wall of the locker room. The other was the threatening message that had blood flowing down each letter and into the footprints.

"Dear Wonderbolts,

Consider the damage done to your locker room a warning. You have provoked me by hurting Rainbow Dash.

Should any of you hurt my girl, or call her that filthy nickname again, I will be back.

Only next time, I will take the full force of my rage upon you. When I'm done, your compound will be dyed red

and your skeletons will line the runway forever. Showing what happens to those who hurt my Rainbow.

Signed,

The King With No Master"

The Wonderbolts were frozen over in terror, whatever had done this had seen everything they had done from yesterday. Some kind of animal had been spying on them, had snuck into their compound and had laid waste to their locker room, completely undetected. Such a feat had never been heard of, and that unnerved the Wonderbolts even more. Spitfire had been rendered speechless by the warning, if an animal filled a message with its own blood, it was a real danger. Soarin had an idea of who it might be, but he didn't know about the numerous spells that Indominus had received.

"What kind of creature is capable of this," asked Fleetfoot.

"How did it even know what we were doing yesterday?"

"What are we going to do if this monster decides to attack us during our routine?"

"We can't let this message intimidate us," said Spitfire. "We'll just have to be more alert from now on and keep an eye out for any signs of this 'King With No Master.' For now, we'll have to replace the lockers and get new uniforms made. In the meantime, we'll salvage what we can and continue practicing the routine."

Spitfire may have been trying to sound confident, but inside she was struggling with her own fear. Judging by the footprints that were near the message, it was an animal she had never encountered before. It looked similar to a dragon, but was far too different to belong to a big dragon. Plus, none of them ever went near the Wonderbolts compound, or knew where it was for that matter. For a new kind of animal to be this stealthy, destructive and intelligent, it was enough to get under the captain of the Wonderbolt's skin. Now she felt like her entire team would be watched and stalked by a monster.

The Wonderbolts spent most of the morning cleaning up the devastation that had been done to their locker room. The new uniforms were made quickly, but the lockers would take a day to replace, including all their belongings. The blood was cleaned up easily, but the message and footprints had been carved into the very wall and floor. They would have to bring in a crew to patch up the damage after their performance was over, until then, it would be the first thing they saw every day. Before the Wonderbolts went out to practice, Soarin pulled Rainbow aside.

"I know you had something to do with this, Crash. You sent that monster of yours to come here and wreck our place."

"I can't make Indominus do anything Soarin, and how do you even know it was him?"

"I know because what kind of monster trashes everything in the locker room, but leaves yours untouched? I don't know how he did it, but I'll figure it out somehow, and you'll be in for it."

Before Soarin left, Rainbow had one final comeback.

"You can try Soarin, but if you go too far then Indominus will have to put you in your place again. Only next time, he'll put you in the dirt with Black Death, the dragon death machine that we killed as a family."

All Soarin could do to hide his shock and anger, was to walk out of the building. Rainbow was getting ready to begin practicing herself, when she noticed something that had been covered up by the blood. She took a closer look at the message and saw that the symbol on her jacket had been smashed into the wall. A great feeling of anxiety began building in Rainbow, if the symbol was there, then what happened to her jacket. When she opened her locker and saw her jacket with its new symbol, her eyes started overflowing with tears of pure happiness.

Her suspicions were confirmed once she saw the scales shining in the light with her cutie mark camouflaged on them. Indominus had been in the locker room, he had destroyed the lockers and left the threatening message for the Wonderbolts. As Rainbow thought about everything else that had happened yesterday, it all made perfect sense. Indominus had been the one attacking the Wonderbolts during the routine, he had been defending Rainbow in plain sight, and defied the Wonderbolts with his destruction. He had done all of it, just for the sake of protecting Rainbow Dash and keeping her safe.

Rainbow held the jacket against her face as more tears began flowing out.

"Why can't more ponies be like you, Indominus," Rainbow said tearfully. "Nopony has ever done anything like this for me. You are more of a gentlecolt than I thought and deserve."

She dried her tears and admired the new design that her hybrid husband had put on her jacket. But she couldn't admire it for too long, or Spitfire would get mad. She laid the jacket back down in her locker, and put on her uniform. As Rainbow was getting ready to head out, she took a minute to look at her wedding ring. It was a reminder of everything Indominus had done for her, now it was a symbol of his complete devotion to her as a lover and husband. Rainbow was about to put it away when she thought about what Spitfire had said in regards to her ring.

"Try to avoid wearing the ring during practice. Wouldn't want you to lose it. Hey lighten up Crash, this is how things are done around here."

Rainbow made a bold decision and decided she would wear the ring during practice. However, she made sure to coat it with her power, so that it could withstand the high speeds and wouldn't get damaged if Soarin tried anythin again.

"You've done so much for me Indominus, so now I'll show my devotion to you. I hope you'll be watching me again, so I can show my devotion to you," Rainbow said to herself as she headed out of the compound.

With the Arkenstone reminding her of Indominus's unshakable love and devoted heart and giving her new confidence, Rainbow Dash was ready for whatever the Wonderbolts had in store. She was going to show them what a newbie guided by a dinosaur's love was capable of.

Hunting and Tormenting Bullies

While Rainbow and the Wonderbolts were taking in the damage Indominus had done to the compound, he was making his way towards Cloudsdale. Indominus was going to hunt down the bullies from Rainbow's past, and kill all of them. He had sworn to himself that nopony would ever call Rainbow Dash that filthy nickname ever again. Indominus's word and decision were final, and anything that stood against him would suffer against his power, teeth and claws. Once the massive cloud city came into view, Indominus camouflaged his skin to match the clouds, shrunk his size down and his hunt was on.

With Cloudsdale's simple style and being only made of clouds, it was much easier for Indominus to sneak about than in Ponyville. Nopony knew he was even around due to his camouflage, and the clouds muffled every footstep he took. A super predator that had the complete element of surprise and stealth to his advantage.

"I promise Rainbow, I'll make those fools regret ever having hurt you," Indominus thought to himself as he searched through Cloudsdale.

He scanned the city looking for the colts that had tormented Rainbow nearly her whole life. Indominus checked out the Colosseum where Rainbow had won the Young Flyer's Competition with no luck, but it was nice to see where Rainbow had performed her trademark Sonic Rainboom. He checked near the Factory, but didn't dare step foot inside. Even with camouflage, the Factory was far too crowded for Indominus to hunt effectively. It didn't help that there were so many pegasi flying about that Indominus couldn't identify any of them properly. Indominus had covered most of Cloudsdale, but he still had no clue on what the colts that he was supposed to be hunting looked like. He was starting to think that his hunt wouldn't end successfully, when a stroke of luck happened to cross him.

Indominus caught sight of three stallions that were walking as a group, and he caught sight of their cutie marks. The dark brown colt had what looked like a dumbbell on his flank. The light purple colt had three footballs on his flank, which didn't make sense to Indominus. The tallest one in the group however, stood out the most to the hybrid dinosaur. The light brown colt had three basketballs on his flank, and it didn't take much for Indominus to guess that they could potentially be the ones Rainbow had been talking about. With a possible lead on the bullies of his girl's past, Indominus stalked the group of colts, hoping for some confirmation.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jd-lZIOVIg4

Being so silent and stealthy allowed Indominus to hear everything that the colts were discussing amongst themselves. Unfortunately, they were mostly bragging about their pitiful accomplishments or how great and cool they claimed to be. They sounded like self absorbed idiots that were full of themselves, and didn't care about who got in their way. It sure sounded like the bullies Rainbow had talked about, but Indominus wasn't sure enough to make a decision. Then the dark brown colt brought up a topic that got Indominus's heart racing.

"I've heard that the Wonderbolts are going to be heading to Ponyville in a few days."

"Think we should go on down their to catch the performance?"

"Nah, it's gonna be boring now that they have a new recruit in their lineup."

Indominus was practically biting at the clouds to keep his nerves in check. If they said what he thought they were going to say, Indominus would be able to take his vengeance.

"Who's their new recruit?"

"You know Score, she's one of our old classmates. Or should I say, the Flight School dropout."

"Oh I know who you're talking about now."

"Yep, Rainbow Crash."

At that moment, Indominus returned to his normal size and began walking towards the bullies. Anger was flowing in his heart, but he was in control this time.

"What did you say," said Indominus in a raging tone.

"I said Rainbow Cra-"

Hoops never got to finish his sentence as he and the other bullies found their heads being gripped by Indominus's hand. The hybrid had all the proof he needed, now he could carry out the rest of his hunt. Indominus took flight and bolted away from Cloudsdale, he didn't slow down until he had reached a dense part of the Everfree Forest. Then Indominus threw the three bullies into the forest and they smashed against a tree. Now that he had found Rainbow's bullies and dragged them to his territory, Indominus could now hunt and kill them.

The three colts were reeling from the impact and were stumped at what had just happened to them. They barely had time to react when Indominus barreling towards them with his jaws open and teeth glistening in the light. Hoops and his crew didn't get five feet off the ground before the hybrid dinosaur smacked them aside with one swing of his claws. Indominus then followed up by snatching the bullies in his jaws and throwing them against more trees. The force of each impact caused the trees to break and fall over, and Indominus closed in on Score first as he prepared for the kill.

Hoops and Dumbbell were so stunned by the fierce attacks that it took them a minute to regain their awareness. When they did, fear and horror rooted them to the spot as they saw Indominus holding Score in-between his hands.

"I want you both to see what happens to those that dare hurt my Rainbow Dash." Indominus then started to pull at Score's body, and the colts could hear the gut wrenching sound of bones cracking.

The colt screamed out in agony as he felt the hybrid dinosaur slowly pulling his body apart. He could feel his bones breaking and his organs slowly tearing apart from the strain. Then in the blink of an eye, Score's life came a cruel and relieving end as Indominus tore his body in half. Hoops and Dumbbell were paralyzed in dread as they watched their friend's blood and guts spill all over the forest floor. His eyes were white as a ghost as Indominus threw both halves up in the air and swallowed the destroyed bully in a single bite.

"Now, you will, DIE!!!"

The remaining colts screamed in terror and tried to fly for freedom. Their efforts were fruitless however, because Indominus was fast enough to catch them before they could breach the tree tops. Whenever Indominus hunted his prey, there were never any survivors, and he had more vengeance to dish out before he could be satisfied. He chucked the helpless bullies against more trees and then punched Hoops and Dumbbell through them. The colts were smacked all over the forest as Indominus continued his relentless attack.

Both colts wound up in bruised heaps in the dirt as Indominus loomed over them. He pinned Hoops under one hand, deciding to end his life last, and focused his attention on Dumbbell.

"Why are you doing this to us? What did we ever do to deserve being killed," Dumbbell said weakly.

"What did you do!? You idiots hurt Rainbow Dash!" Indominus pinned Dumbbell down and gripped his wings in his teeth. Hoops could only watch as the hybrid dinosaur slowly and painfully tore the wings away from Dumbbell's body. Indominus spat the wings out and they landed by Hoop's face, and he could see the bones jutting out of each wing. "You've mocked and tormented her for too long, and now you'll pay for causing my girl so much grief."

Dumbbell was crying in pain as Indominus snatched him up in his teeth. But rather than kill him right away, Indominus made the experience horrifying for Hoops as well by dangling the body over him. With a truly scared look in the bully's eyes, Indominus proceeded to chomp down on his friend's body, right in his face. Hoops was getting splattered in blood and one of Dumbbell's eyes fell on his face, causing him to cry for the first time in his life. Indominus had instilled true terror in the last bully and finished the satisfying torment by crushing Dumbbell's head in his jaws.

Now that left only one bully to kill, and the origin of Rainbow's pain would be wiped out from Equestria forever. With blood flowing out of his mouth, Indominus was ready for the best part: tormenting the bully that had started the nickname in the first place.

"I'm going to enjoy killing you slowly, worthless pile of manure. But before I end your life, is there anything you'd like to hear?"

After seeing his friends being killed, Hoops had only one question.

"What do you have to do with Rainbow Crash? Why are you killing us for her? You're nothing but a monster and she's a pathetic screw-"

Hoops was stopped mid-sentence as Indominus tightened his grip on the colt's body and neck.

"She is not a SCREW UP!! She is my wife, she is the best flyer in this entire world and worth more to me than anything I could want. You and your kind have tormented her all her life with that stupid nickname, and it caused her so much pain and sadness. I'm doing what no one has ever done before: killing you and removing that nickname from Equestria, FOREVER!"

Indominus was about to lunge for Hoop's throat, but stopped himself as a more devilish idea was spawned inside the dinosaur's mind. He breathed a tiny portion of his power on Hoops and it caused the colt to triple his size. Now Indominus had a bully that was bigger, terrified out of his mind, and about to be slaughtered. Indominus snapped one of Hoop's legs, tore out the colt's left wing and punctured his chest with one of his sickle claws. With Hoops in agonizing pain from the savage attacks, Indominus loomed over his body with his claws placed on the colt's miserable hide.

"This is for you, Rainbow Dash. Now foolish bully, FEEL THE RAGE OF INDOMINUS REX!!"

Indominus began taking his vengeance and releasing his anger by biting and slashing away at Hoop's hide. The hybrid's claws tore away at flesh, spilling blood everywhere while chomping away at the powerless bully's organs. Indominus crushed several bones, tore the other wing off and jammed it into the colt's neck. Hoop was at the mercy of a hybrid dinosaur who was finally taking the justice that he and Rainbow Dash deserved. Indominus continued to slash, bite and tear away at the colt's hide with savage ferocity, letting all of his anger being put into each attack. With barely an inch of his life left, Hoop looked up with weak eyes as Indominus's jaws loomed over him.

"Now this, IS WHERE YOU END!"

Indominus leaned forward and in one final act of vengeance, crushed Hoop's head in his deadly jaws. The hybrid dinosaur had finally relieved some of his anger at last, and had rid Rainbow Dash of the bullies that had picked on her for so many years. With the bullies dead, Indominus bellowed a victorious roar into the forest, pleased with his triumph and control over his anger. The Untamable King devoured the remains of the bullies so that nopony would ever know what happened and headed towards a lake to wash out the taste.

Finally free of some inner pain and anger, Indominus decided to pay Rainbow a visit and see how she was doing. With his victory over the bullies and Rainbow seeing what he had done for her in the locker room, Indominus couldn't wait to see Rainbow completely own the Wonderbolts with her newfound confidence. He took flight towards the Wonderbolts compound, with his mind now clear of anger and satisfied. Once he arrived, Indominus found his usual perch in the clouds and camouflaged himself so nopony would spot him. Indominus easily spotted Rainbow Dash, and he could tell right away that she had seen all that he had done for her.

Rainbow walked out onto the training field, beaming with confidence. This time she made sure to check both ways before crossing the runway. The other Wonderbolts thought Rainbow was showboating by wearing her wedding ring during practice. Even Spitfire, who had discussed the matter with Rainbow prior to her first day as a Wonderbolt, was rather shocked that Rainbow would choose to wear it after all.

"I thought we already talked about this, Crash. You said you weren't going to wear your ring during practice."

"Well mam, I'm feeling lucky today and decided I'd wear it for good measure."

"Oh, so a monster breaks into our compound, destroys our lockers, and you think it's ok to show off your petty jewelry? Like the rest of this team doesn't matter to you at all? I thought you were better than this, Crash."

Indominus still detested hearing them call his girl that nickname, but this time, Rainbow had the confidence to talk back to her so called 'heroes.'

"If I recall Spitfire, that 'monster' destroyed the locker room because of you ponies! His message and threat were aimed at all of you, he did all that because you ponies didn't stop messing with me. Besides, after the way everypony treated me yesterday, and how you didn't even notice Soarin throwing me off, I think you deserved it. Now if you're done barking at me, I have a routine to nail."

Spitfire was left speechless as Rainbow joined up with the other Wonderbolts and began practicing her routine for the day. That was the third time in her life that she had ever been talked down to, and all three times had been by Rainbow Dash. She was the only pony who had the nerve to talk down to the captain of the Wonderbolts. and it was still baffling. Spitfire just walked over to her megaphone, unable to come up with a retort for anything that Rainbow had said to her.

With her confidence restored, Rainbow was keeping pace with the rest of the Wonderbolts. She didn't lag behind or run into any trouble, because she had the one she loved in her heart the whole time. During the maneuvering portion, Rainbow flew perfectly in line with her teammates and didn't falter once. The others were surprised at how much Rainbow's performance had improved, and were starting to think that maybe wearing her ring was for good luck. Soarin kept trying to mess up her routine like before, but Rainbow wasn't going to stand for it this time.

Every time Soarin got close to nailing a punch on Rainbow, she would tap into the slightest bit of power and knock him back with a punch of her own. Her counterattacks sent Soarin tumbling away, and made him look like the newbie.

"What are you doing Clipper? Get back in formation!" Soarin felt so embarrassed that he was being played and made into a fool. While he struggled to get back in line with the others, Indominus was having a field day from his perch.

Seeing Rainbow flying in sync with the Wonderbolts and knocking back all of Soarin's attempts put a smile on his face. He watched as Rainbow dove with the same teammates as yesterday, and pulled a tight ninety degree left turn with them. It surprised all the Wonderbolts, including Spitfire, who was just as shocked at how Rainbow had improved so dramatically. Indominus noticed Soarin going in for the same kind of ramming attack as yesterday, only this time it didn't work. Rainbow saw the move coming, and right before Soarin hit her, she performed the smallest barrel roll and rolled right over his back. Soarin ended up missing Rainbow and wound up colliding with Fleetfoot and Surprise.

"What's gotten into you, Clipper," said Surprise.

"Yeah, you're usually clipping your wings on flag polls, not crashing into your teammates," Fleetfoot added.

"Oh shove it down your throats! I don't have time for this!" Soarin's sharp response had Fleetfoot and Surprise a little stunned. They had never seen him this frustrated before, or retaliate with such language.

Rainbow touched down near the runway after she had completed the routine, with a much better run-through than yesterday. While most of the Wonderbolts didn't call her the nickname afterwards, there was still Spitfire who refused to call her anything else.

"Nicely done Crash. However, next time I tell you to not wear the ring, YOU DO AS I SAY AND PUT THAT GAUDY PIECE OF JEWELRY AWAY!"

Indominus was appalled at the stubbornness that Spitfire seemed to have. Rainbow had done much better than her last practice, and yet, that pony had the nerve to criticize Rainbow on the ring that defined her relationship with her dinosaur husband. Clearly. Indominus's message had barely any impact on Spitfire if she was still barking at Rainbow over the littlest things. The hybrid dinosaur decided it was time for him to instill some real fear into the Wonderbolt captain. He flew off of his perch and glided down closer to the runway, and as he did, he could hear the Wonderbolts taunting Rainbow again.

"She's right Crash, Wonderbolts are supposed to be professional, not showing off necklaces like a model."

"That ring makes it look like you think you're better than all of us."

"It makes you look like even more of a showoff than you're already trying to be." That statement really got under Rainbow's skin.

"WHAT!? Is it really that wrong for me to wear something given to me by my husband? To have a part of him with me during practice so that I can focus?"

"Of course it is, Rainbow Crash," said a spiteful Soarin. "Your husband is nothing but a piece of trash, and that ring is just as worthless as he is."

At that point Rainbow zoomed over and got right in Soarin's face. Rage was bristling across her eyes, and yet Soarin didn't even seem concerned.

"Nopony talks about my husband that way, and certainly not YOU, Soarin!"

"What are you gonna do about it? Hit me in front of the others and look even worse than yesterday?"

Rainbow had to admit that Soarin did have a point, with the Wonderbolts watching everything, how could she attack him to defend Indominus's honor without destroying her own? Ultimately, Rainbow backed away and began making her way towards the destroyed locker room, with the others following in shock at the restraint she had shown. Spitfire pulled Soarin aside once everypony was inside the compound.

"That was uncalled for Clipper, you didn't have to go and insult her family like that."

"Oh it was completely called for. Trust me boss, if you had seen Rainbow's husband for yourself, you would understand."

Spitfire was perplexed at Soarin's bizarre comment as she followed him towards the compound. However, before she got inside, Spitfire heard something massive heading right for her. She instinctively flew up to avoid whatever it was, but she had only played into Indominus's hands. He had sent a powerful gust of wind at Spitfire as a distraction to set her up for the real attack. Indominus nailed Spitfire square in the back and it sent her flying away from the compound and out of sight. Indominus flew past the Wonderbolt as she recovered and followed up with a backhand slap. Spitfire was sent spinning away, but recovered quickly from the attack and tried to spot her attacker.

"Where are you? Show some respect and reveal yourself at once!" Indominus touched down on some clouds behind Spitfire and whispered into her ear in a deep tone.

"You're not worthy of receiving my respect." He then punched Spitfire away again, when she recovered again, she touched down on some clouds herself. "Still, you need to see part of what will destroy you and your team very soon." Indominus changed his skin color to the purest shade of black, with white around the eyes to make himself look more like a fierce demon, and not a dinosaur.

He bolted off the clouds and charged straight towards Spitfire and the Wonderbolt barely had time to get off the clouds before Indominus slashed at them. He immediately went skyward and flew after the fleeing Wonderbolt, trying to slash and bite her. Spitfire dodged each and every attack, but she couldn't outrun Indominus. Thanks to his training with Rainbow Dash, Indominus was able to keep pace with the Wonderbolt captain and set her up for all of his moves. After Spitfire dodged another slash, Indominus spun his tail at her and it knocked her away which gave Indominus enough time to fire three blasts at her. Spitfire saw the red projectiles heading right for her and flew up just as the blasts collided with each other. The recoil from the explosions was enough to send Spitfire reeling.

"Whoever you are, you're definitely strong." Indominus flew up at her and Spitfire prepared herself for another assault. But as Indominus got closer, he began to vanish, using his camouflage again until he had disappeared.

Now Spitfire had no way to see him, he had completely blended in with the sky and was now invisible to her. She wasn't able to prepare herself as Indominus smacked her with enough force to send Spitfire crashing into the training field. He then returned to his black skin color and looked down on the wounded Wonderbolt from atop more clouds.

"Well when you've spent a good year and a half training under the best pegasus in Equestria and the Dragon Lord, you pick up a thing or two. If I wanted to kill you, you would already be a red and orange splotch by now."

Indominus flew down and pinned Spitfire to the ground before she could escape and fly off.

"Now don't worry, I'm not gonna kill you yet, Shitfire. I'm only here because you didn't seem to heed my warning." Upon hearing this, Spitfire's eyes shrunk.

"Y-You mean, YOU were the one who destroyed our locker room?"

"That's right and I'm still proud of it. You ponies deserve it after what you did to Rainbow Dash."

"What is it about Rainbow Crash that makes her so important? She's just a showoff and a newbie, Crash doesn't even-" Spitfire was stopped as Indominus grabbed her by the throat.

"STOP CALLING HER THAT PATHETIC NAME! SHE IS RAINBOW DASH, AND SHE IS ONE THOUSAND TIMES THE WONDERBOLT YOU WILL EVER BE! All she ever wanted was to be one of you, she looked up to you her whole life, and you repay her with a tormenting nickname. After everything she did for you rats, this is how you treat her by calling her that hideous name and messing with her emotions? You and your kind have tormented and hurt my girl, now, you have provoked me and my rage. I have BIG plans in mind for you and your bullying teammates, Shitfire!"

Spitfire was growing more terrified by the minute. Indominus's very voice was seeping into her mind and filling her head with true fear.

"I'm the monster that evil hides from, the beast that stalks even the greatest creatures in existence. I will see to it that you and the rest of the Wonderbolts suffer for hurting my Rainbow Dash. You know nothing about me, but I know EVERYTHING about you. You'll see me everywhere, even in your nightmares." Indominus dealt one last punch across Spitfire's face before camouflaging himself again and disappearing into the sky.

Spitfire was beyond scared now, Indominus had instilled the fear he had talked about and now the head of the Wonderbolts was worried for her own skin. She limped back into the compound with every one of Indominus's words spinning in her head like a infectious demon. Spitfire was slowly becoming aware of the danger she and the Wonderbolts had brought upon themselves. Indominus had completely owned her during the skirmish, and she had been unable to retaliate against him.

Once she stepped inside the locker room, she was shocked to find that Soarin was once again trying to hurt Rainbow Dash. The rest of the Wonderbolts were actually cheering him on like they thought it was just a friendly sparing match. None of them were aware that Soarin was really trying to attack Rainbow Dash and she was doing her best not to unleash her power and destroy him.

"What's the big idea Clipper? Stop this brawl at once!"

"I'll stop when Rainbow Crash finally stops acting like a pansy and strikes back!"

At that moment, Rainbow grabbed Soarin's hoof and slammed his head into the lockers. Then in one swift punch to the gut, Rainbow brought Soarin to his knees and put an end to his ranting for the day. Everypony went silent after seeing Rainbow shut Soarin up with a single blow.

"I've had enough from you for one day Soarin, this grudge you have against me and my husband is useless. You'll never be better than him or me, so give it up and move on with your pitiful life."

Rainbow changed out of her uniform, took her jacket out of her locker and started to leave the locker room. The Wonderbolts didn't say anything cruel this time, Rainbow was fed up with their teasing and the proof was groveling on the floor. She and Spitfire locked eyes before she left for the day. Upon seeing the damage that Indominus had dealt her, Rainbow decided that she was going to really thank her hybrid husband for all that he had done. Spitfire looked rally roughed up, and the bruises on her face were all the proof that Rainbow needed to know that Indominus was devoted to looking after his girl.

"Unless you find a way to improve on Soarin and end this name calling mam, I'm sure the 'King with no master' will make good on his promise. You have a devil looming over your shoulder, and you have nopony to blame but yourself. If you had only seen that Soarin is responsible for all of this, then you wouldn't be suffering right now."

Rainbow took off for the day, glad that she didn't have clean up duty, and glad that she had told Spitfire off for all the taunting. She was going to give Indominus the ultimate reward for all his effort and devotion in taking care of her. Inside the compound, Spitfire was going mad and bucking the demolished lockers in anger. She swore that she would find a way to make Indominus regret having decided to stalk and torment the Wonderbolts.

Loving Reward and Devious Scheme

Indominus touched down in front of the schoolhouse, pleased with all that he had accomplished in a single day. A minute later, T-Rex and Blue's squad showed up beside him. They were all glad to see Indominus in a much better mood, and he didn't look angry at all.

"Well, did you take care of your personal matter brother?"

"Yes I did T-Rex, and I even payed the Wonderbolts a visit."

"You didn't kill any of them, did you," asked Blue.

"No Blue, I simply wanted to see how Rainbow Dash was doing after seeing the locker room and her improved jacket. I have to say, she did so well out there that the other Wonderbolts were in shock."

Tyrannosaurus was pleased with how Indominus's little gift had given Rainbow such a great deal of confidence. Indominus may have been full of rage at the time, but his heart was definitely in the right place.

"Though I was roughed up when Shitfire and Soarin decided to pick on her over wearing the ring during practice. So I snuck down to the field and had a little sparing match against the stubborn Wonderbolt."

"I assume you used the camouflage during your little scuffle, right," said Delta.

"Of course, it certainly helped me get the drop on that stubborn pony. I even gave her a warning that will have her constantly looking over her shoulder, wondering if I'll be waiting to attack. Now that Shitfire has seen my camouflage, she'll become super paranoid and it will break her mind and spirit."

"That's so devious and ingenious Indominus," said Blue. "I love the way your scaly mind thinks."

Just then the school bell rang and all the fillies were exiting the building. The CMC immediately spotted the dinosaurs, and Scootaloo was glad to see her hybrid dad waiting for her like he had promised. She and Indominus nuzzled each other, and the filly could see the happiness in her dad's eyes.

"You seem much happier today Dad."

"Yes Scootaloo, I'm feeling much better today and glad that my anger didn't come back. By the way, when your mom comes by, she might seem in great spirits."

"Why would Rainbow Dash be so happy? Did something amazing happen during practice today?"

"Unh unh unh, I'm not telling. You'll just have to see for yourself." Indominus suddenly heard a loud growl coming from his stomach. "Oh goodness me, I guess I forgot to have my hunt today."

"Go on and get yourself some food daddy, we'll see you at home." Indominus nuzzled his daughter in comfort and went off into the Everfree Forest for a hunt, while the dinosaurs accompanied the Crusaders to the clubhouse.

At the clubhouse, the Crusaders had a free day since they hadn't come across any ponies that were in need of discovering their true talent. So they decided to spend their day asking the dinosaurs about what Indominus had been unable to tell them. So T-Rex told them everything that his brother had told him over the past few days, and the CMC finally understood why Indominus had looked so defeated last night. It also answered Scootaloo's question of why Indominus told her to be there for Rainbow Dash.

"So he actually snuck into their compound and destroyed their property," said Sweetie Belle.

"I'm afraid so girls," said Tyrannosaurus. "It struck a nerve in his heart because it was identical to his past, which all of you heard about last night."

"No wonda he looked so dang, distraught. Now Ah understand why he looked so sad and beaten," said Applebloom.

"So why was he in such a good mood today?" Scootaloo didn't have to wait long, as the answer came zooming in and touched down outside of the clubhouse.

"You're about to find out," said Delta.

The dinosaurs opened the door for Rainbow Dash and they were surprised to see her wearing an official Wonderbolt jacket. She was beaming with happiness and looked so proud of herself.

"Whoa, that's an amazing jacket Rainbow Dash," said Sweetie Belle.

"Isn't it girls? You should see the symbol that a certain somepony put on for me."

The CMC got a closer look at the jacket, and once they saw Rainbow's cutie mark on the glistening scales, their faces lit up. Indominus had done more than just destroy the Wonderbolts' property, he had put his special touch on the jacket for his girl. Scootaloo was just as happy as Rainbow Dash once she got a good look at the scales.

"Daddy did this for you, didn't he, Rainbow Dash?"

"He sure did Scootaloo. It's the most incredible devotion I've ever seen. Oh that reminds me, if you girls happen to see Indominus later tonight, please give him this." Rainbow pulled a letter out of the jacket and gave it to Scootaloo. "Tell him that I'll be looking forward to giving him the ultimate reward for his devoted act."

"I'll be sure to let him know Rainbow Dash. I still can't believe he did all of this just for you."

"Neither can I Scootaloo, it proves that Indominus is far above any stallion in Equestria. And to think, none of this would be happening if you hadn't met them first." Rainbow and Scootaloo shared a warm hug after the endearing compliment. Scootaloo never got tired of hearing Rainbow praise her for their wonderful lives and the dinosaurs that lived with them. Rainbow Dash took off to tell the others, while the Crusaders were wondering what the letter said.

"Should we read it to find out what she has in mind for Indominus?"

"Ah don't know Sweetie Belle, isn't it invading somepony's privacy by reading their letters?"

"Well I am part of the family so I think we can let this slide," said Scootaloo. "Besides, we won't tell Indominus anything until he reads the letter himself. Right T-Rex, Blue, Delta, Echo, Charlie?"

"Our mouths are sealed," said all five dinosaurs. So the Crusaders opened the letter to see what Rainbow had written to Indominus. T-Rex and the raptor squad leaned in to try and see for themselves.

"Indominus,

I couldn't believe that you saw all the bullying that the Wonderbolts did to me. Now I understand why you didn't want to tell me last night, and I see that we are more alike than I thought. Cutting out the symbol on the jacket and replacing it with my name on your scales was such a sweet thing to do. That's why I'm going to make it up to you tonight. Meet me by the Moonlight Lake tonight, I want to repay you for looking out for me and being my Guardian angel. I look forward to having my way with you tonight, big boy.

From,

Rainbow Dash."

The Crusaders all had red faces after reading the letter, they had a pretty good idea about what Rainbow Dash had implied in her letter.

"Your sister truly does love Indominus, Scootaloo. I've never seen this side of Rainbow Dash before."

"Well, that's not entirely true, Sweetie Belle. We saw her being more daring during their first date together."

"Oh boy, my brother won't have a shred of anger after Rainbow has her way with him," said T-Rex.

Then Scootaloo got a devious idea, they could tell everypony else about what Rainbow has shown them, assuming she hadn't already told her friends about it, and see the magic for themselves. They had all spied on the lovers during their first date and that moment had been wonderful, plus they were curious as to how Rainbow would repay Indominus. So the Crusaders decided to inform the others and see if they wanted to see Rainbow and Indominus love each other again. T-Rex and the raptors split up with the CMC to cover more ground and spread the word to the rest of the Mane Six.

At each home, each of the Mane Six told the CMC and dinosaurs that Rainbow had already been by and had shown each of them her improved jacket. Once they saw the scaly cutie mark symbol, they were all touched by Indominus's devotion to Rainbow. Each pony agreed on seeing Rainbow repay Indominus tonight, and thus the plan was set. All that was left was giving Indominus the letter so he could know for himself.

Later that night, after dinner had ended and Indominus had finished cleaning up the dishes, Rainbow took off to wait for her scaly husband. When Indominus came back to the living room, he found that Rainbow was gone.

"Where'd Rainbow Dash go guys?"

"Oh, that reminds me dad, Rainbow told me to give you this." Scootaloo handed Indominus the letter and went upstairs with the dinosaurs, leaving Indominus confused.

"I don't get it Scootaloo, what's the meaning of this?"

"Just read the letter dad, trust me, you'll want to read it."

Indominus was still puzzled, but he opened the letter regardless and began to read it. Scootaloo and the dinosaurs waited at the top of the staircase, listening to Indominus read Rainbow's letter. When he got to the last sentence in the letter, they could hear the excitement building in Indominus's voice.

""I look forward to having my way with you, big boy." Oh my, I'm going to be getting it tonight. I guess looking out for her and doing all that damage had more of an impact on Rainbow Dash than I thought. Oh boy, I'd better get moving, don't want to keep my girl waiting."

Indominus took off out of the clouddominium and began heading towards Moonlight Lake. Scootaloo and her family gave chase, while picking up the others along the way. Fortunately, Twilight knew how to get to Moonlight Lake faster than Indominus, and with a teleportation spell, they arrived within the trees at the lake. They hid themselves well so neither Rainbow or Indominus would know that they were there. Scootaloo could see Rainbow Dash waiting by the lake, with the moonlight bathing down upon her, she looked so majestic and beautiful, just perfect for Indominus. A minute later, they could hear Indominus's footsteps slow down and watched him slowly walk out of the trees towards his girl.

"Scootaloo gave me your note Rainbow Dash. It said you wanted to meet me here tonight, what for?" The others knew Indominus was just playing along to get the best response from Rainbow Dash.

Rainbow waited until Indominus was right in front of her before she gave her answer. The hybrid dinosaur could see the same adoring bedroom eyes that Rainbow had given him on their honeymoon. She even increased her size to match Indominus's and she spoke in a soft and seductive voice.

"Oh it's just a simple 'thank you' Indominus. I want to thank you for beating the Wonderbolts when they called me that name, and for always being there for me." Indominus was caught off guard as Rainbow wrapped her front hooves around his neck and began to kiss him.

The hybrid dinosaur was overcome with the love, and returned the loving affection by wrapping his arms around his wife and kissing her back. Everypony was trying so hard to keep their squeals quiet so that the lovers wouldn't hear them. Seeing the two lovers holding and kissing each other with such passion was still so heartwarming. Now that they had shared their past tragedies with one another, Indominus and Rainbow had grown even closer as husband and wife. Rainbow continued to kiss Indominus with such love that he lost track of where he was going, and they ended up falling into the lake.

All the others could see was their tails tangling with each other above the water, which meant that they were still kissing each other under the water.

"Don't they ever take a breath during these make-out sessions," said Twilight.

"This is so adorable! Rainbow Dash is so lucky to have a 'stallion' this caring and devoted in her life," said Pinkie Pie.

Moments later, the two lovebirds resurfaced from the water, gasping for air with bright red blushes on their faces. Rainbow Dash swam over to Indominus and pressed her head against his. They just stared into each other's eyes as Rainbow spoke again to her husband.

"How is it that you are so devoted and caring towards me? I can't believe that you would attack the Wonderbolts, just because you were concerned for me."

"How did you know?"

"It was easy once I saw the scaly cutie mark symbol you placed on my jacket, how you tore up the lockers, and that message on the wall. 'King with no Master' huh? That was a clever name to hide your identity."

"I couldn't just sit there and let them get away with bullying you like that. I made that message very clear to Soarin when he tried to take your ring."

"You were also the one that beat up Spitfire today, weren't you?"

"Guess I can't hide anything from you huh? I'm sorry Rainbow Dash, I only attacked them because-" Indominus was cut off as Rainbow kissed him again. When they parted lips, Rainbow said the sweetest thing to Indominus.

"How could I be mad at somepony who would go through all that trouble and share in my pain, because he loves me so much? You are beyond wonderful Indominus, you mean more to me than anything I could wish for." All of her friends were tearing up after hearing Rainbow speak with her heart. "I want to show my gratitude to you Indominus and I feel that the best way for me to do that, is through a special song."

"This is so beautiful," said Fluttershy. "Rainbow is definitely a pure romantic."

Everypony stayed quiet as Rainbow Dash began singing to her amazing hybrid dinosaur. She got close to Indominus's face and sang in the most wonderful and beautiful voice Indominus had ever heard.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IdG-t22VmY

Rainbow: I love you
It's been said and done
Every beautiful thought's been already sung
And I guess right now here's another one
So your melody will play on and on, with the best of 'em
You are beautiful, like a dream come alive, incredible
A centerfold, miracle, lyrical
You saved my life again
And I want you to know baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

Constantly, boy, you played through my mind like a symphony
There's no way to describe what you do to me
You just do to me, what you do
And it feels like I've been rescued
I've been set free
I am hypnotized by your destiny
You are magical, lyrical, beautiful
You are...
And I want you to know, baby

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a (love song, baby) love song, baby
I, I love you like a (love song, baby) love song, baby
I, I love you (I love you, I love you) like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat (like a love song)

(Indominus holding Rainbow in the water while they sing)
RD/IR: No one compares
You stand alone, to every record I own
Music to my heart that's what you are
A song that goes on and on

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

And I keep hitting re-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat-peat

I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby
I, I love you like a love song, baby

I love you... like a love song...

The lovers shared another long, passionate kiss once Rainbow's song was finished. Their friends and family were bawling at the sight, even the dinosaurs were shedding tears for their brother. He and Rainbow Dash were an inseparable pair, and their love was only getting stronger. When they separated lips, both pegasus and dinosaur once again, had blushes on their faces.

"I love you so much Rainbow Dash."

"I love you and your amazing scaly heart, Indominus Rex."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWxxrNeyoCE

Rainbow pushed herself against Indominus until he was resting against the bank of the lake. He saw that seductive bedroom look in her eyes and it only meant one thing.

"I told you I would have my way with you tonight, Untamable King. Now you're all mine, I'm going to rock your world again."

Rainbow leaned against Indominus's body and began to lick his face. It was just like how they had spent their hot bath on their honeymoon, only Rainbow was being more daring this time. She was slowly dragging her tongue across Indominus's scales and giving long kisses on his face, neck and chest. The soft touch and feeling of Rainbow kissing and licking him was filling Indominus with joy and bliss, just how he had done for Rainbow on their first time. He returned every last sensation by licking Rainbow's face when she got close enough. The lovers were sending each other into blissful harmony, but this time, they had a hidden audience.

Twilight's face was going red from seeing Rainbow Dash kissing Indominus all over and so seductively. Applejack had only wide eyes at seeing her friend displaying such a hot nature. Rarity and Pinkie Pie were getting nose bleeds and couldn't pry their eyes away from seeing Rainbow and Indominus making out. Fluttershy had an even more red face than Twilight, and was silently cheering on the passionate lovers. The CMC and dinosaurs were just in absolute shock at seeing Rainbow just own Indominus for the first time.

"Way to go brother," Tyrannosaurus said quietly.

Rainbow used her hooves to pin Indominus's arms down and kissed him with hot intensity. The rest of the Mane Six had steam blowing out of their ears at seeing how bold Rainbow was being. She was dominating Indominus and the scene was becoming too much for the fillies to see. Applejack, Rarity and Fluttershy had to once again, cover the fillies' eyes and ears so they wouldn't hear all the too blissful sounds and roars coming from the intense lovers. The scene was becoming more hot than their time in the flower fields. Then Indominus flipped Rainbow over onto her back and got to be the one on top.

"The Wonderbolts say you're no good," Rainbow said softly.

"But haters say what they wanna say."

"And you should know if I could, I'd breathe you in every single day."

"You're about to get that privilege, my Dashie."

Indominus pressed his lips to Rainbow's and kissed her with even more intensity than she had shown him. The blush on Rainbow's face was becoming more and more red with each loving kiss. Indominus took his tongue and began running it all along Rainbow's neck, face and her whole body. Her soft moans from the rough feeling of Indominus's tongue, only caused the hybrid dinosaur to lick his girl even more. Then he rolled Rainbow onto her stomach and did the one thing Rainbow had loved most on their honeymoon: he began to lick the inside of Rainbow's ears while thrusting inside her.

"Oh, Indominus, give me your all, and nothing else."

"Your wish, is me delighted command, my amazing and so hot Dashie."

Every single one of Rainbow's friends had bleeding noses and steam pouring out of every conceivable spot on their faces as soon as those words escaped Rainbow and Indominus's mouths. They were actually witnessing him making love to Rainbow Dash in the most romantic way possible. Every sound and moan that came from Rainbow, combined with the thrusts and tender licks Indominus was giving, were enough to make the raptor squad pass out. If the love birds kept up such a hot moment between them, Twilight and the others would pass out until morning. Fortunately since Indominus had so much experience over the last few months, it didn't take him long to release within Rainbow Dash.

The lovers roared in perfect sync with one another as Rainbow felt the pleasure burst forth within herself. Then after a minute of flowing pleasure, Indominus disengaged himself from Rainbow Dash and the couple climbed out of the lake. Their eyes looked so tired and both were breathing so heavily after all the making out they had done.

"You are, so amazing," said a breathless Rainbow Dash.

"Some ponies, don't think so."

"But you are amazing, to me, and to our family and friends. Especially to Scootaloo."

"I'm, so grateful that she accepted me as I am. Without her, I would've never met you."

"She's more important than we both could've guessed. All things considered, I wouldn't change anything about the life we all share."

"I love that about you Rainbow." Rainbow Dash walked over to Indominus and despite being tired from the fun, teased him by brushing her tail underneath his head.

"Are you sure it's not my amazing flank, which you're staring at right now?" Indominus was actually blushing pink as he tried to look away, which Rainbow giggled at. She turned around and kissed the hybrid on the side of the face. "You're so sweet and considerate Indominus, and that's what I love to see in a husband."

The lovers nuzzled each other and a long yawn from them both meant it was time to get some sleep.

"Let's head back home Indominus."

"Actually Rainbow, how about we spend the night here? It's so peaceful and beautiful out here, and let's be honest, we're both too tired to fly home tonight."

"Ok, I suppose it couldn't hurt. I just hope Scootaloo will be alright."

"I wouldn't worry, I have complete trust in my brother and sisters. They are very capable Guardians and always take good care of our daughter."

Rainbow laid down beside the lake and Indominus laid himself beside her.

"I'll always treasure you Indominus."

"As will I Rainbow Dash, you are my everything and my reason for living." The husband and wife shared one more kiss before Rainbow snuggled against Indominus's body and he draped his arm over her. The pegasus and dinosaur fell asleep in each other's hold as the moonlight illuminated them.

Twilight and the others made their way back home, with a first hand experience of how much Indominus loved Rainbow Dash.

"With love that strong, I don't think the Wonderbolts are going to ever tear them apart," said Twilight.

"Now Ah know Indominus meant it when he promised to take good care of Rainbow Dash. He truly is one hundred percent loyal to her."

"Absolutely darling, he's even more of a romantic than any of the stallions I've met," said Rarity.

"More importantly, that kind of love could help him get rid of that terrible anger," said Fluttershy.

"That's true Fluttershy, as long as Rainbow sticks with him, my brother will have the support he needs to conquer the Immortal Phoenix," said Tyrannosaurus as he carried an asleep Scootaloo back home.

The group went back to their homes, now glad that they knew how much of a great time Indominus had spent with Rainbow Dash,

Meanwhile, back at the bunkers, the Wonderbolts were having anything but a great time. Spitfire was in a raging fit, storming about the quarters, furious at both Rainbow Dash and Indominus. Rainbow had talked back to her so many times, and Indominus had succeeded in destroying their locker room and making Spitfire look like a scared fool. The others were nervous from seeing their captain so spitting mad, all except for Soarin. He knew that Indominus must've attacked and threatened Spitfire, causing her calm demeanor to break and develop the same hatred that he had for the hybrid dinosaur.

"I'll find that monster and once I get my hooves on him, I'll remove his reason for living!"

"How do you plan on doing that boss? This creature outclassed you in every way."

"Shut your mouth Clipper! How could you possibly know what kind of animal attacked me today?

"Because I already met him once, at last years Grand Galloping Gala."

"What!?"

Soarin flew to his ruined locker and returned with a photo he had stolen from the gala and a thin tube containing some strange liquid. Soarin threw the picture in the center of the room for all of the Wonderbolts to see, and they all gasped in shock. It was one of the many family photos that Photo Finish had produced after the dinosaurs got their voices.

"The one behind Rainbow Crash and that sister of hers, his name is Indominus Rex. He's the one that attacked you today, and has probably been the one who attacked us during yesterday's routine. I know all this because he threw me out of the Gala."

"That monster threw you out of the Gala?"

"Oh it gets worse boss, that monster is also the same one that gave Rainbow Crash her wedding ring." The Bolts had looks of sheer terror on their faces.

"No. She actually went and married a monster? So Crash's husband is a demonic monster of destruction that can kill us all if he wants?"

"I'm afraid so boss, that's why we have to kill him before he destroys the Wonderbolts."

"Just how are you planning on doing that Clipper?"

"With a strength enhancing formula." Soarin showed the strange liquid to the rest of the Wonderbolts. "I asked the lead ponies in Cloudsdale to whip up this special formula, which will allow us to bring down that monster and Rainbow Crash."

"I don't think she can be brought down. We called her that name so many times Soarin," said Fleetfoot.

"And yet you couldn't even break her spirit?"

Fleetfoot: "Well you know, it wasn't exactly like she was alone Soarin."

Surprise: "Yeah, what are we supposed to do? Kill Indominus?"

Soarin: "Precisely."

Soarin: I know that your powers of retention
Are as weak as a timberwolf's hide
But thick as you are, pay attention
My words are a matter of pride

It's clear from your tired expressions
The beast has invaded your mind
But we're talking heroes and salvations
We'll take out that monster from behind

So prepare for the chance of a lifetime
Be prepared for sensational news
The Wonderbolt era
Is tiptoeing nearer

High Winds: And where do we feature?

Soarin: Just listen to teacher
Spitfire: I know it sounds sordid
But you'll be rewarded
When at last we are given our dues!
And injustice deliciously squared
Soarin/Spitfire: Be prepared!

Fleetfoot: So Soarin, how are you planning on us stopping this dinosaur.

Soarin: With the new formula I had made.

Surprise: What does it do?

Soarin: It'll make us strong enough to kill that monster, and his family.

High Winds: Great idea! Who needs heroes like them?

Wonderbolts: No heroes, no heroes! La la la la la!

Spitfire: Flatfoot! There WILL be heroes!

Fleetfoot: Who'd you have in mind?

Soarin: We will be heroes! Crash's spirit will die out, and Equestria will worship us as saviors for all time!

Fleetfoot: Yay, all right! Long live the beast!
Wonderbolts: Long live the beast!
Long live the beast!

Wonderbolts: The ponies will love and respect us
When we put that monster to rest

Soarin: Of course, quid pro quo, we're expected
To always remain the best
Spitfire: This future is littered with prizes
And though we're the main addressees
Soarin: Once the light fades from that beast's eyes
Soarin/Spitfire: RAINBOW CRASH WILL SUBMIT TO ME!

Soarin/Spitfire: So prepare for the battle of the century
Be prepared for the murkiest fight (Oooooo, la-la-la!)
Meticulous planning (We'll be loved!)
Tenacity spanning (Lots of love)
This age of denial (We reprise)
Is simply why we'll (Endless praise)
Be heroes undisputed
Respected, saluted
And seen for the wonders we are
Yes, my wings and ambitions are bared
Be prepared!

Wonderbolts: Yes, our wings and ambitions are bared -
Be prepared!

Author's Notes:

Oh boy! Things are really starting to heat up. The confrontation between Indominus and the Wonderbolts is now inevitable. Soarin has a possible way to end Indominus's life, and with the threat of the Immortal Phoenix looming over his head, is there a way for the hybrid dinosaur to get out of this mess? The answers and more are to come in the next few chapters as the showdown between Bolts and Guardian dinosaur draws closer.

Ponyville Show and Indominus's Confrontation

The morning after Rainbow's night of rewarding Indominus arrived, and the two lovebirds were still sleeping in each other's embrace by the lake. However, they had some guests that were coming to check up on the pegasus and dinosaur.

"I can't believe they did all of that last night, Twilight."

"I know Blue, I had no idea that Rainbow could be so intimate. She must love Indominus more than I thought to reward him like that."

"Why can't you tell me what happened between them Twilight?"

"Because Spike, you're far too young to see what we witnessed last night."

"Plus, it would scar your brain for life."

Blue, Spike and Twilight had dropped by to wake the lovebirds and see how they were doing. Both lovers looked so peaceful being close to one another. Indominus had a content smile across his face, and he was holding Rainbow like a treasured jewel. She was snuggled so close to him and was holding his free arm in between her hooves.

"I've never seen anything so, adorable."

"He looks so content and relaxed, considering he was so full of anger a few nights ago."

"If me and Rarity ever get together, I hope our relationship will be just as good as theirs."

"Hopefully not nearly as intense as theirs, Spike. Now let's wake up these lovebirds."

Blue increased her size so that she could wake up Indominus and gently nudged the hybrid's head. Indominus slowly opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Rainbow holding his arm in her sleep.

"I always knew that she loved me, and I always love these sweet rewards." He then turned his attention towards Blue after getting his surroundings. "Blue, remind me to beat up the Wonderbolts more often."

"Will do Indominus, did you enjoy your reward last night?"

"Oh man, when Rainbow Dash gives a reward, she gives it with so much passion and heat that it's a wonder I didn't give in and succumb to her love."

"I can always do better, you know." Indominus looked down at Rainbow after she spoke and saw a delighted smile and content eyes staring back at him. "I really enjoyed our time together last night Indominus."

"Just make sure to be easy on the sweet talk right now Rainbow, we have guests."

Rainbow noticed her friends standing by them and her eyes shot wide open.

"Twilight! Uh, how long have you been here?"

"Oh not long, but don't worry Rainbow I won't tell anypony about this." Even though I've already seen how much you TRULY love Indominus, Twilight thought to herself.

"Sounds like you two had a really eventful night," said Spike.

"Oh we did, and it's all because this big lug is so concerned for me. I don't know anypony else that would beat up the Wonderbolts and replace a cruel symbol on my jacket with one from his own skin. I can't thank you enough for looking out for me, Indominus." The hybrid dinosaur leaned down and licked Rainbow's face.

"I only do it because I love you Rainbow Dash. Even though I'm sure that the Wonderbolts are going to want my head on a platter."

This had the others worried a bit. Indominus wasn't aware that although his deeds were for Rainbow Dash, they did have some consequences that were going to catch up with him.

"Well, assuming that it does come to that, just promise me that you won't kill them. Maybe Soarin, but not the others. Despite what they've done, none of them know that Soarin is responsible for all of it. Plus, I still respect them Indominus, so if you do have to fight them, please avoid killing if you can help it."

"I'll try Rainbow, but if my anger does take over, I don't think that anything will be able to stop my rampage again. Last time it happened, Smaug was able to stop me when my brother and sisters couldn't. I don't want to lose control again, but I won't be able to stop myself if they hurt you."

"We'll help you if that time comes, Indominus," said Twilight. "Now that you've told us about your past, we want to help you get through this ordeal. You and Rainbow already went through enough when dealing with Scootaloo's former parents."

"Thanks Twilight, it means a lot to have caring friends like you."

"Don't mention it Indominus, that's what friends do, they look out for each other." Indominus leaned over and licked Twilight's face in delight, causing the alicorn to blush slightly.

"Ok Indominus, we need to get up because I still have to go to practice for the rest of the week. But I don't want you to worry, after what you've done for me, I'll make sure to use just a little power if Soarin tries anything."

Indominus was glad after hearing Rainbow's promise and released his loving hold on his girl. The lovebirds took a minute to stretch and work out any kinks. Rainbow thanked Twilight for checking on her and gave Indominus one more kiss before heading off to the Wonderbolt compound. Indominus thanked the others for checking on him as well. and decided that he would go and hunt for once. Once she was sure that Indominus was deep in the forest, Blue finally got to question Twilight.

"Twilight, tell me honestly. If Indominus does end up fighting with the Wonderbolts, do you think he will kill them?"

"Well Blue, after seeing the many things Indominus has accomplished, I'd say the Wonderbolts' chances of living through an encounter with him are minimal at best."

"How do you figure that Twilight? Is he really that strong?"

"He's much stronger than you think Spike. Let's head back to the library so I can do some comparisons."

Back at the Golden Oak Library, Twilight pulled up a huge chalkboard and began writing everything she knew about the Wonderbolts and Indominus. Blue gave Twilight the info that she knew about Indominus so it could be of use. Twilight used all the knowledge she had on the Wonderbolts through the many books and from seeing them in action. Spike watched in awe as Twilight documented every feat Indominus had accomplished during his time in Equestria. After forty-five minutes, Twilight had all the info she needed on both subjects, now it was time for the debate and comparisons.

"Alright my friends, in terms of sheer combat and strength, Indominus has the Wonderbolts completely outclassed. From what we've seen, Indominus has held his own against dragons of all kinds, managed to kill a Hydra with T-Rex's help and even beat the Dragon Lord in a one on one match. He has tanked blows that could've shattered bones and just gotten back up from all of them. He even briefly overwhelmed Black Death by himself and brought that monster to his knees."

"Now that's some impressive strength," said Spike.

"We even watched him punch Smaug so hard, that it cracked an armor made of jewels and diamonds. Considering how many years that dragon had been sleeping on them, those gems would've been extra fortified," said Blue.

"If he's strong enough to break gems, then Indominus can easily break the Wonderbolts. Three of them were easily knocked out cold by a flailing kick from Rarity. Plus he has fought foes with brute strength and power on a regular basis, whereas that kind of achievement is something the Wonderbolts have never accomplished. Rather, the only creature they ever fought was you Spike."

"Me? Since when did I ever get in a fight with the Wonderbolts?"

"When you turned into a giant, greedy dragon and wanted every possession in Ponyville."

"Oh, right," said Spike sadly.

"I didn't mean it in a bad way Spike. I'm just saying that you're the only dragon that the Wonderbolts have fought against, and you trapped them in a water tower."

"I did? Well, I can add that to my credibility."

"Meanwhile, the Wonderbolts have the advantage in speed and agility. They've spent their whole lives practicing their flying skills to be the best, while that kind of speed is not something Indominus or any of the dinosaurs have much experience in. Is that right, Blue?"

"That's correct Twilight, in fact, the only one that fast and agile who I've seen Indominus keep pace with in the air is Rainbow Dash. Also, that feat was only possible while he was in his transformed 'Guardian' state. Without that power he wouldn't be where he is today."

"Speaking of his power, Indominus apparently can draw on more strength through his anger and this has allowed him to beat most of his opponents. It helped him beat Smaug into submission and broke most of the bones in Black Death's body. Also, when he taps into this incredible rage to the fullest, he is able to become the Immortal Phoenix."

"The true peak of his power and his greatest strength, the Immortal Phoenix can make Indominus near invincible. It amplifies his strength at least tenfold, and makes him practically invulnerable against any kind of attack. We all watched him plow through Smaug's fire breath as if it had no effect on him. It allowed him to completely overwhelm the Dragon Lord, when he had to struggle before. If Indominus were to ever use the Immortal Phoenix on the Wonderbolts, he would kill them in an instant."

"So overall Indominus has power and strength, and the Wonderbolts have speed and agility, but neither completely outclass the other. With so many uncertainties, this battle could theoretically go either way."

"Why do you say that Twilight? If Indominus has all this incredible power, why do you think he'll have trouble going up against the Wonderbolts?"

"The thing is Spike, that power is a double edged sword in this case. Since we now know about the form's fatal flaw, the Immortal Phoenix could work against Indominus instead of helping him. The more he uses it, the more it will damage his body and leave him in such a weakened state that the Wonderbolts would be able to kill him. Plus, his rage goes out of control in that form and he could burn himself out attacking everything around him in a blind fury. Also, I'm fairly certain that Soarin has told them about Rainbow's connection with Indominus and can use that to make him waste his power even more trying to protect her."

"So in short Twilight, there's no way to tell who would win an encounter like this?"

"Exactly Spike, there's no way to determine a definite winner in this case. Unless the Wonderbolts have something that can allow them to match Indominus's strength, their only chance would be to use his love for Rainbow against him. Or enrage him enough, outlast the Immortal Phoenix and kill Indominus while he's vulnerable. There are just too many uncertainties to say that Indominus would win for sure, we'll have to keep our eyes open at the show next week. But I do know this, if the Wonderbolts ever figure out Indominus' fatal flaw with the Phoenix, Rainbow will lose her husband, Scootaloo will lose her dad and Equestria will lose one of its Guardians."

"If the Wonderbolts try to hurt Rainbow or enrage Indominus, we'll do what we have to in order to keep our family safe, Twilight."

Twilight had no idea the kind of encounter that would await Indominus. The hybrid dinosaur would find himself fighting for his life and Rainbow's against the most stubborn and ignorant pegasi in the world.

As the rest of the week went on, the Mane Six were starting to get more concerned for Indominus. Every time he dropped off Scootaloo, he would always disappear into the Everfree and then fly off to the compound camouflaged. He wanted to be sure that Rainbow was going to be fine despite everything that had happened. The Wonderbolts seemed so on edge every time they stepped out of the compound, almost as if they were expecting some great beast to drop out of the sky and kill them all. Rainbow was always beaming with confidence and continued to wear the ring for good luck and a reminder of Indominus's devotion for her. The Wonderbolts didn't even argue, in fact they were actually encouraging her more and not calling her that horrible nickname. However, it was all just a ploy to fool Indominus and deceive Rainbow Dash.

Each one of the Wonderbolts knew about Rainbow's connection to Indominus and the dinosaurs because of Soarin. They all wanted Indominus dead now that they knew who had been attacking them the whole time. They wanted to win Rainbow over and hopefully get her to turn against Indominus if he decided to attack them during the show. Unfortunately, they would never get Rainbow to switch sides, because she was too devoted and loyal to Indominus. That was why Soarin had prepared enough of his strength enhancing formula for all of his teammates, so they would have the strength to fight if push came to shove. Indominus was unaware of the dreaded confrontation that he was doomed to square off in, and the results would test his bond with Rainbow Dash.

So when the day of the show finally arrived, it was both exciting and nerve wracking for everypony. They all wanted to see Rainbow perform well in her first show, but they were also worried about what Indominus could do if Soarin decided to make things personal. Plus with a huge crowd gathered for the occasion, the dinosaur's rage could put many lives in danger. Regardless of the risk, the Mane 5, CMC and dinosaurs couldn't wait to see Rainbow perform.

"This is gonna be so amazing," said Scootaloo.

"You said it, I'm almost as excited as Pinkie Pie," said Spike.

Pinkie had her own eager opinion to give, "I can't wait to see Rainbow Dash's first performance as an honest to goodness Wonderbolt."

"Ah just hope that Soarin doesn't try anything sneaky and ends up angering Indominus. Last thing we need is for him to experience more rage," said Applejack.

"We've made sure to give Indominus plenty of support through this difficult time," Scootaloo added. "I hope it's enough to get him through this show."

"We should all remember to be extra supportive for Rainbow Dash too," said Fluttershy.

"Excellent point darling," said Rarity. "It's just simply dreadful that she's had such a rough start after finally achieving her dream."

"Rainbow's had Indominus by her side through all of this, I'm sure that she's turned this rough experience around thanks to him," said Twilight.

At that moment, the Wonderbolt of honor came flying over to greet her friends.

"Hey girls, mind if I borrow Scootaloo for a bit?"

"Me? What for?"

"It's for keeping an eye on a certain someone, if you know what I mean." Scootaloo didn't understand at first, but then the realization struck her.

"I hear ya Rainbow. Let's go talk somewhere private for this matter."

"Rainbow who are you planning on keeping an eye on," asked Twilight.

"I'm just looking out for Indominus, because even with all that I've told him about not worrying or letting his anger take over, I just want to make sure he doesn't, lose control."

"Oohh." Everypony said in unison.

"See ya girls later," Rainbow said as she and Scootaloo flew off to a hill away from the crowds. "Now Scootaloo, is our family in their positions?"

"They are Rainbow Dash. The raptors are hidden amongst the trees all around the area, Tyrannosaurus is behind the stands and Indominus is near the outskirts in case anything goes wrong."

"Excellent, and I've shown them the routine so they know where to strike just in case something goes awry. Now if at anytime during the performance you see Soarin or any of the Wonderbolts trying to attack me or throw me into anything, signal the dinosaurs to attack from their hiding spots. I've warned them not to use too much power, but make sure Indominus controls himself."

"I'll try Rainbow Dash, but how do you know Soarin will try to attack you?"

"Because Scootaloo, Soarin has hated Indominus since the Gala and is taking his anger out on all of us. He called Indominus a worthless pile of trash to my face. Plus, after seeing that defeated state Indominus was in, I'm worried for what his rage could make him do."

"I'm worried for him too, I really hope that everything goes smoothly."

"You and me both sister." The siblings shared one more hug before the Wonderbolts passed by the hill and that meant it was getting close to show time. "Wish me luck Scootaloo," Rainbow said as she gave Scootaloo her ring for safe keeping and flew off to join the others.

"Good luck Rainbow Dash."

"Mares and gentlecolts, fillies and foals of all ages," the sound of the announcer caught everypony's attention, even the dinosaurs. From their hiding spots among the trees, each of them began scanning the sky for the Wonderbolts. Indominus was looking anxiously for Rainbow Dash, hoping his girl did well on her big day. "Look to the skies and prepare to be awestruck by the incredible flying prowess of, the Wonderbolts!" A formation of seven of the Wonderbolts was seen going through the sky, and Indominus spotted his girl in the rear spot of the formation.

"You can do this Rainbow Dash, I believe in you. Show these bullies what an incredible flyer you are," Indominus thought to himself as he watched his girl fly alongside her idols with ease.

The Wonderbolts were performing the Icaranian Sun Salutation, one of their more famous routines. Indominus watched in amazement as Rainbow flew perfectly in sync with the rest of the Wonderbolts. She never seemed to miss a beat, and she was looking stunning during the performance.

"Your girl has got some serious skill, Indominus," said T-Rex through their mind link.

"I know brother, this is where she is the best. So far I don't see anything that could lead to trouble."

"Well, let's just hope it stays that way."

The Wonderbolts had split off into one pair of three and another pair of four, which Rainbow Dash was in. Her group went upward and then they slowly rolled over and dove for the ground. Everyone watched as the four pegasi flew parallel to each other and pulled out right above the ground. Everypony was cheering wildly and from her perch, Scootaloo could see all of the action.

"Wow, Rainbow Dash is doing great! Maybe we didn't have to worry abou- wait a minute. What is Soarin doing?"

Scootaloo noticed that Soarin was making slight gestures with his hooves during the routine. Scootaloo tried to follow where he was pointing and to her horror, she saw other Wonderbolts setting up storm clouds hidden by the trees. Then Scootaloo noticed that the Wonderbolts were flying towards each other, ready to cross over one another's flight path. When she realized what Soarin was going to do, she tried to reach out to the dinosaurs in their minds to let them know. Tyrannosaurus wasn't aware of the threat because the storm clouds were hidden behind where he was.

"EVERYONE!! HELP RAINBOW DASH, SOARIN'S GONNA-" Before Scootaloo could complete the message, tragedy struck Rainbow Dash.

As Rainbow was about to cross over Soarin, he dealt a punch right to her stomach, and the impact sent her careening toward the storm clouds. From the audience's perspective, it looked like Rainbow had screwed up on purpose, when in fact Soarin had positioned his hit so no one would suspect that he was responsible. Everypony watched in horror as Rainbow was knocked into the storm cloud and then sent barreling into a tree where she was getting attacked by a bunch of birds. The Wonderbolts were still continuing the routine as if nothing was happening, and this enraged Indominus.

"Brother. Sisters. Let them have it, I'm going to help Rainbow Dash," Indominus said to his family before camouflaging his skin and taking flight.

Tyrannosaurus and the raptor squad launched a volley of blasts right at the Wonderbolts. Each blast had been aimed in anticipation to where the Wonderbolts were going to end up in the routine, and as a result, each of them got hit and were sent crashing into the ground, except for Soarin. He had seen the attack coming in time, had dodged the blasts, grabbed one of the storm clouds and went after Rainbow, enraged that he and his team had been set up. Rainbow had gotten out of the tree with birds still trying to attack her, now Soarin was on the attack and shoving the cloud into her path. Indominus saw what was happening and dived towards his girl, but he couldn't reach her in time.

The birds scattered as Rainbow was struck by the storm cloud and sent falling to the ground with smoke trailing behind her. Soarin had a twisted smile on his face, pleased with what he had done. However, he wouldn't get to revel in it for long as Indominus smacked him and the storm cloud away as he continued to dive after Rainbow Dash. Down below, all the ponies were in shock at what was happening, but they couldn't see Indominus and they had no idea where the blasts had come from. Rainbow's friends were afraid when she wasn't slowing down.

"Oh no, she's gonna crash! Somepony do something!"

"Actually Pinkie, somepony is doing something," said Applejack. "Look who's catching up to her."

The Mane five could barely make out Indominus's outline as he got closer. Then, just when it looked as if Rainbow was going to hit the ground, Indominus scooped her up into his arm and pulled away from his dive. The hybrid dinosaur pulled away from the mayhem and just held his girl in his hand.

"Rainbow Dash, are you alright." Indominus said in an almost desperate voice.

"I am now, thanks to you." Indominus pulled Rainbow close to his body so they both could relax after the tense moment.

He took a minute to catch his breath, because for a fleeting second, Indominus thought he was going to lose Rainbow Dash. The Wonderbolts had set her up for a fall and Soarin had nearly killed her with those storm clouds.

"I warned them, I told them not to hurt her or call her that name. Now they've gone and blown their chances, I'll show them what it means to fear a true animal," Indominus angrily thought to himself.

Being so close to Indominus kick started Rainbow's healing power and before long, she was good as new. Indominus breathed a sigh of relief as he glided back down, gently laid Rainbow down on the ground and dove into the trees to avoid being seen.

Scootaloo and the Mane five immediately went to Rainbow's side, surprised that she didn't have a scratch on her. Twilight and Fluttershy were so relieved that Rainbow was ok and Scootaloo held her in a worried embrace.

"Rainbow Dash, are you ok?"

"I'll be fine Scootaloo, but I can't believe they would do that. How could they agree with Soarin and set me up like this?" Suddenly Rainbow was interrupted as they heard a steaming mad Spitfire raising her voice to the crowds.

"ALRIGHT!! I DEMAND TO KNOW, WHO WAS THE ONE THAT SABOTAGED OUR ROUTINE? WHO'S IDEA WAS IT TO MAKE US LOOK LIKE FOOLS. HUH?" The crowd was silent, still stunned after all that had just happened. Then Fleetfoot spoke up.

"Why don't you ask the filthy newbie that's responsible for all of this in the first place?"

"CRASH! YOU'VE GOT A LOT OF EXPLAINING TO DO!" Spitfire began advancing towards Rainbow with the rest of her team, and each Wonderbolt had an evil grin on their faces.

"What are you talking about? I had nothing to do with this."

"Don't try making up excuses. You can't handle being called a nickname that you deserve to wear for the rest of your life, so you decided to set us up and ruin the show. You won't be flying in this world again after we're done with you Cra-"

"LEAVE HER ALONE SHITFIRE!!" Once those words were heard, the Wonderbolts stopped and Spitfire turned her head sharply, angrily eyeing the area for the source of the powerful voice.

"Who had the gall to call me that?" Her answer came walking out of the trees as Indominus walked out behind the Mane Six, followed by Tyrannosaurus and the Raptor Squad. All of them eyed the Wonderbolts with fierce anger in their eyes.

"She had nothing to do with sabotaging you idiots, we're the ones that attacked you and I'm the one that told my family to do it." Indominus began to walk towards the stubborn pegasi, while T-Rex and the raptors stayed by Rainbow Dash and the others. The Wonderbolts grew terrified now that Indominus had revealed himself. "You will do, nothing to my girl, Wonderbolts. I've laid low your enemies of old. I instill terror in the hearts of evil and bullies. I'm, the King With No Master, Indominus Rex." The Wonderbolts stood horrified at the creature that had admitted to being the one who had destroyed their locker room and had been attacking them.

"T-T-This, is the m-m-monster that attacked us," Misty Fly said in shock.

"Yes, I'm also the one that carved that message into the wall and warned you rats not to hurt her or call her that nickname. Yet you continue to insult and beat up my girl. So now I'm going to make this as clear as I possibly can." The Mane Six could feel the ground beginning to rumble, and that meant Indominus was tapping into his anger. Then they heard an incredible roar as Indominus bellowed at the Wonderbolts.

"Get. Away. From. MY. DASHIE!!!!" The sheer magnitude of Indominus's roar sent the Wonderbolts flying away and it uprooted numerous trees in the area. Several others were being bent in impossible ways and the Wonderbolts all ended up crashing into the numerous tents scattered throughout the area. Indominus looked back at his friends, afraid of what would happen next.

"Everyone, this is unavoidable now. I have to end this and the only way to do it is to fight the Wonderbolts. I'm finally going to break them for what they've done." His gaze drifted to his girl and before he took off, Indominus said to her, "I'm sorry Rainbow Dash."

With a loud roar, Indominus sprinted away from his family and friends and headed for the shaken Wonderbolts. Ponies began running for cover as Indominus charged forward and closed in on the stubborn ponies. The Wonderbolts tried to scatter, but Indominus managed to punch Spitfire into another tent.

The once talkative Wonderbolt crashed into the dirt and looked up to find Indominus looming over her, baring his teeth and growling dangerously. Indominus leaned in to bite down on Spitfire, but was blindsided by Soarin who rammed him across the face, giving Spitfire time to fly away. Soarin then looped back around while Indominus was stunned from the attack, landed on his shoulder and bit down on the dinosaur's hide. Everypony thought he was being suicidal until Soarin did the unthinkable: he tore off a chunk of Indominus's scales. It had been so long since Indominus had felt his skin being torn off, and it angered him terribly. He tried to attack Soarin but the cocky Wonderbolt put enough distance between himself and Indominus with the scales still in his mouth.

After seeing Soarin actually inflict damage on Indominus, the rest of the Wonderbolts tried attacking him. However, Indominus already had some experience with fighting a Wonderbolt and was able to dodge their ramming attacks. When they came back around, Indominus anticipated where they were going to end up and swung a fist at Misty Fly. The Wonderbolt was sent crashing into another teammate and Indominus used the momentum to swing his tail around and swat the other three Wonderbolts out of the sky. The pair of hidden Wonderbolts tried to rush Indominus, but the hybrid just swatted them away with his powerful head. After recovering from the attack, Spitfire noticed that Soarin was the only Wonderbolt that hadn't been hurt and was beginning to leave the fight.

"Where do you think you're going Clipper?"

"I'm going to get the formulas so we can crush this monster. Just try to hold out until I get back," said Soarin as he took off with the patch of Indominus's scales in his mouth.

Spitfire managed to fly away as Indominus dove for her again. The other Wonderbolts grouped up and lingered beyond the range of the hybrid's claws.

"Fine, we can hold out against this monster until then. After all, this beast can't fly so there's no way he can catch-" Spitfire was stopped mid-sentence as Indominus took to the skies with his patterned wings. "You've got to be bucking kidding me! THIS THING CAN FLY!?"

"Oh Shitfire, I can do more than that," Indominus said as he punched the six Wonderbolts so hard that they were sent flying towards a massive group of clouds. They hybrid dinosaur took off after them, and Rainbow wanted to go after him.

"We have to stop him, he'll kill them." Rainbow wanted to go and stop Indominus, but T-Rex wouldn't let her.

"Rainbow Dash, you can't interfere in this fight, this is something that Indominus must do himself."

"Why Tyrannosaurus? If we let him continue like this, he'll kill them and destroy everything else."

"Do you really think that Indominus is going to give into his rage that easily? Haven't you noticed that he's been holding back this whole time?"

"WHAT!?" The Mane Six were shocked at what T-Rex said.

"How can Indominus be holding back," said Rarity. "I thought he wanted to kill the Wonderbolts."

"No, Indominus is looking to break them, not kill them," said Delta. "Right now, he's trying to fight the Wonderbolts while also keeping his rage from getting out of hand. He doesn't want to lose control like last time, it really shook him up. He's trying to keep the promise he made to you about not killing the Wonderbolts, Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow was truly amazed, despite how angry he seemed, Indominus was holding back just for her sake. He only wanted to break the Wonderbolts so they would never call Rainbow that nickname again.

"You have to put some faith in him Rainbow Dash, he doesn't want to betray your trust," said Fluttershy.

"I've always had faith in him, I just don't want him to be hurt anymore. He's already gone through enough as it is."

"If the Wonderbolts look like they're going to overwhelm him, then you can step in. But just let Indominus have this Rainbow, he wants justice for you and for all the times he watched them hurt you, said Tyrannosaurus as they waited to see what Indominus had planned.

Meanwhile, the Wonderbolts ended up finding themselves within a massive group of clouds following Indominus's attack. The hybrid dinosaur camouflaged his skin with the clouds and since his footsteps were muffled by them, the Wonderbolts couldn't hear him. They were now being stalked within a pile of clouds by a vengeful hybrid dinosaur.

"Why are you doing this? We never attacked you," Spitfire shouted within the clouds.

"Oh you may not have attacked me, but you attacked my girl," Indominus said before smacking Spitfire from behind. After the first attack, he moved on to another Wonderbolt. Being able to see their heat signatures within the clouds made it possible for Indominus to keep an eye on all of them. He focused next on Fleetfoot.

"Why do you care about what we do to Crash?" Fleetfoot was immediately attacked by Indominus as soon as the name escaped her mouth.

"Because she is the most important pony in my life. The sole reason why I'm not killing all of you right now, is because she respects all of you, despite everything that you've done. I on the other hand, am not so forgiving to those that hurt my girl. Do any of you scoundrels know what happened to the last group of bullies that dared to insult Rainbow Dash?"

Spitfire was almost afraid to ask, Indominus's deep voice was getting into her head once again.

"What did you do?"

"I tore them apart and ended their wretched lives," Indominus said as he once again punched Spitfire and Surprise. "I devoured them, like a wolf among sheep. I kill where I wish, when I wish. My armor is diamond. No weapon can pierce me."

Spitfire's calm demeanor was breaking apart far more than usual. With Indominus camouflaged so well into the clouds and stalking them with ease, the Wonderbolts were becoming mere shadows of their former selves.

"You idiots aren't even aware that you've been set up, by Soarin! He arranged all of this so you rats could try to kill me, didn't he?"

"We have no idea what you're going on about," said Blaze.

"Don't bother denying it, I guessed his foul purpose some time ago. Did you really expect me to believe that Soarin wouldn't have some drive for revenge against me? But it matters not, Soarin's little quest will fail. He will never beat me or take Rainbow Dash away. He will only bring about the death of the Wonderbolts."

Indominus was merely toying with the Wonderbolts at this point, he was seeping into their minds and making them worry and doubt themselves. His dark talk was most effective against Spitfire, since he had already beaten her once before, and knew what to use against her. The hybrid dinosaur was still attacking the Wonderbolts within the clouds, and yet they refused to bolt for an escape. They had become too frightened to save their own skins.

"You are being used, Shitfire. You and your precious teammates are only ever a means to an end. That coward Soarin, has weighed the value of your lives and has deemed them expendable for his vendetta."

"No, no you're lying, monster. Soarin would never set us up like that."

"Oh no? What did he promise all of you? Ultimate glory? Eternal praise and worship for killing a family that is well respected throughout all of Equestria? As if he could ever keep a promise like that. All Soarin wants is to kill me and my brother and sisters so that he can take Rainbow Dash for himself. But I have to wonder how he could ever protect Rainbow Dash, when you ponies couldn't even protect Ponyville from a single dragon? Especially, one that managed to trap you in a water tower," Indominus followed with a strike to all of the Wonderbolts before hiding himself again.

By now, Spitfire was getting close to full panic mode. After hearing Indominus talk about one of their greatest and most embarrassing failures, she was starting to think that Indominus knew more than he was letting on.

"I have held my own against dragons and sparred with the Dragon Lord himself! My teeth are guillotines, my claws are javelins, my wings are a vortex!"

"Wow, he sounds just like Rainbow Crash."

"What did you say, FLATFOOT?" Alarmed at the sudden increase in Indominus's tone, Fleetfoot tried to lie her way past the hybrid dinosaur.

"I didn't say anything, you're trying to make us into li-" the Wonderbolt was cut off as Indominus punched her out of the clouds.

"I know a filthy liar when I see one, and all of you are just as filthy as her!"

"EVERYPONY FLY!" Spitfire's nerves couldn't take it anymore and she and the Wonderbolts flew out of the clouds for freedom. Unfortunately they were frozen in terror when Indominus reappeared on a few clouds in front of them.

"I'm almost tempted to let you ponies try your best to bring me down, if only to watch all of you suffer. Watch your efforts be in vain, watch your hearts give up in grueling defeat, and to see all of you groveling in the dirt. But I think not, that would be a little too much fun. So tell me, Shitfire, how do you want your spirit to be broken?"

Now terrified, the Wonderbolts tried to escape as the dinosaur lunged for them, but Indominus was already one step ahead of them. He narrowed his sights on a group of them, took in a huge breath and the pull from his lungs began sucking Spitfire, Fleetfoot and Surprise into his mouth. Once the three Wonderbolts were close enough, Indominus clamped his jaws shut, trapping them inside. He began shaking his mouth wildly and he could feel the three Wonderbolts being jumbled about in his jaws. He continued to attack the remaining Wonderbolts while hearing Spitfire freaking out inside his jaws.

"You've gotta be kidding me ponies, we're in his mouth. WE'RE IN, HIS MOUTH!" Indominus was using his tongue to throw Spitfire, Fleetfoot and Surprise all over his mouth, knocking them into his teeth and sending them all over the place.

Meanwhile, the remaining Wonderbolts were trying their best to stop Indominus, but the hybrid dinosaur just shrugged off every blow and kept tormenting them. The best flyers in Equestria were being made into fools by a hybrid dinosaur, and he wasn't even using any of his true strength. Inside Indominus's mouth, Spitfire got knocked by the tongue and was sent skidding towards the throat. She tried scrambling for safety upon seeing the giant black abyss that would consume her if she went down, but the saliva from Indominus's tongue made it impossible for her to gain any ground. Fleetfoot managed to get a hold of Spitfire so her leader didn't fall down the dinosaur's throat.

"How are we supposed to stop this beast? He'll kill us all!"

"I don't know Spitfire, this monster is more than we thought. How are we gonna- wait, what's that light?"

The two Wonderbolts noticed a red light coming from the bottom of Indominus's throat, and the light was beginning to brighten the dinosaur's mouth. He was preparing his energy blast to use against the Wonderbolts, and considering they were trapped in his mouth, the blast would disintegrate them in an instant. Seeing the deadly blast inching its way up the throat was causing Spitfire to go full panic mode, and Indominus was reveling in hearing the once arrogant Wonderbolt screaming like a scared brat.

"Alright, I think it's time for them to know who I really am."

The other Wonderbolts scattered as Indominus began expanding his chest and bellowed a roar that threw Spitfire and the other captive ponies into the air. They barely had time to react as Indominus fired his blast and aimed it at their scared backsides.

"LOOK OUT!" Spitfire and the others scattered for their lives as the blast careened past them and exploded in the distance. All of the Wonderbolts had wide eyes at seeing the destructive force of Indominus's attack, and it was just the beginning of his power.

"Whoa, just what are we dealing with? That blast had enough power to kill an army of Wonderbolts!" Spitfire was interrupted as they heard Indominus laughing from his cloud.

"I'm unlike anything you puny piles of dog crap have ever seen before. I hold the power to kill any monster that dares to hurt me or my family. But enough funny business, it's time you Wonderbolts understood what I'm truly capable of."

Spitfire and the other Wonderbolts were attacked by a full strike from Indominus, and it left some serious damage on their bodies. Then their hearts sank as they heard Indominus singing a dark song.
.
Deep in the pages of history
Lies a monster hiding in a mystery
A late night terror buried far away
Until he once again breathes the light of day

And when the little colts and fillies turn out all lights
And tell the story of a monster as cruel as night
The luxury of freedom comes at a price
Just ignore the roars, and don't think twice

(Indominus attacking the Wonderbolts while singing)
You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to be like Indominus
You don't even deserve those wings you bear
When you stand beside a monster, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the gory and visceral weather game of chase
And just because you've hurt my girl I'll snap your necks
Now accept your fate and die to Indominus Rex

The Wonderbolts did everything they could to fly away and escape, but Indominus managed to corner them at every turn. He had them at his complete mercy with all the strength and power he wielded.

Phantom roars echo through the ruined scenery
A horrible growl creates an eerie tranquility
The souls of wretched evil fill the air
And the stench of their blood is scattered here and there

A mighty beast built within the wake
Of a long dead dream, little demon awake
The bullies sleep, never quite knowing when
The beast will reawaken, hungry again

You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to be like Indominus
You don't even deserve those wings you bear
When you stand beside a monster, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the gory and visceral weather game of chase
And just because you've hurt my girl I'll snap your necks
Now accept your fate and die to Indominus Rex

Each Wonderbolt was now truly terrified out of their minds, none of them believed that they could beat a creature of such power. Seeing that he was actually breaking their minds pleased Indominus, so he decided to take the torment back to the area where it had all started. He seized all of the Wonderbolts in his claws and flew back towards his family. Once he had returned, Rainbow was shocked to see the Wonderbolts in Indominus's hands. Everypony was really nervous about how Indominus practically had the Wonderbolts in his claws like a vice grip. They all grew worried when Indominus threw all of them onto the ground in a battered heap.

"Shitfire, for what you and your kind have tried to do to Rainbow Dash, I will break you in every sense of the word. I will destroy your minds and break your souls until none of you are able to say that nickname again!"

As the once great flyers tried to stand again, Indominus brought his clawed hands down on them and slammed the Wonderbolts into the ground and towered over them. While he resumed his twisted song, Indominus was unaware that one Wonderbolt was getting ready to attack him.

All of the failures help to fuel success
In the gory and visceral weather game of chase
And just because you've hurt my girl I'll snap your necks
Now accept your fate and die to Indominus Rex

Spitfire had managed to avoid the claws and rammed Indominus across the face. When she came back, Indominus punched her so hard that everypony heard bones cracking as she was smashed.into the ground.

I don't even remember my past
I don't remember who I used to be
I don't remember my world of old
I don't remember my destiny

My eyes are red and my scales are white
What I've become brings sheer terror
I do know one simple thing
I was born to be a monster killer

You've proven to yourself and to all of us
That you're not fit to be like Indominus
You don't even deserve those wings you bear
When you stand beside a monster, you don't even compare
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the gory and visceral weather game of chase
And just because you've hurt my girl I'll snap your necks
Now accept your fate and die to Indominus Rex

I don't even care about your glory or fame
When you hide behind your masks of shame
You don't even deserve these wings you bear
None of you are legends, just hideous mares
All of the failures help to fuel success
In the gory and visceral weather game of chase
Now I tower over you and I'll take away your life
You can't escape me cause you will die tonight

This is your tragedy
I'll end you in a flash
The way it's meant to be
For hurting my Rainbow Dash
A brutal sight to see
Watching Wonderbolts pay their toll
Now I've awoken, and I'm taking all control

Indominus was winning the first round of the fight. He had the Wonderbolts almost completely broken and at his mercy, but the fight was only just beginning. The confrontation was about to take a major twist, and Rainbow Dash would see just how much rage Indominus had contained within himself.

Horrifying Rage

With the Wonderbolts pinned under his claws, Indominus was ready to begin the bloodshed. He began heading for Spitfire when a voice bellowed from the sky that caught everypony's attention.

"You're not going to kill anypony, monster!" Indominus looked up from his victims and was shocked by what was heading towards him.

Soarin was coming back with a few more Wonderbolts behind him, but something was incredibly off. He had gotten much bigger in size, in fact, he was almost as big as Indominus and the dinosaurs. Indominus was still trying to figure out how Soarin had gotten so huge, when the Wonderbolt struck him with enough force to send him flying off the others. The Mane Six were stunned as Indominus was sent skidding across the ground and crashed into some trees after Soarin's attack. Somehow, the Wonderbolt had gained enough strength to actually hurt Indominus and had returned with backup.

"H-how did he do that," said Twilight. "That kind of strength is something only the dragons have. It takes a creature of true muscle to actually hurt Indominus."

"Wow, been a while since I've been hit that hard," Indominus said as he shook off the blow.

Soarin helped the others get back up with a single giant hoof, and they were just as surprised at the Wonderbolt's massive size.

"How did you get this big Soarin?"

"It's simple Spitfire, this is part of the strength enhancing formula. It increases strength as well as size and speed, thus making us powerful enough to tangle with this monster. If all of you take one, then we will become an army of giant Wonderbolts."

The backup Wonderbolts distributed the formula to each of their teammates, who quickly downed the serum in a hurry as Indominus got back to his feet. He began charging towards them, but he stopped as each of the Wonderbolts began to shake all over from drinking the formula.

"S-soarin, what's h-happening to us," Fleetfoot said as she tried to get the shaking under control.

"It's alright girls, it's just part of the process. I went through the same thing, but it'll be over soon."

Everypony watched as the Wonderbolts started growing in size and becoming bigger. Tyrannosaurus called out to his brother upon seeing that they were getting stronger as well.

"INDOMINUS! YOU'VE GOT TO ATTACK BEFORE THEY FINISH GROWING!"

Indominus immediately charged forward once he heard his brother's warning, but he was cut off by Soarin who locked his hooves and head with the hybrid dinosaur.

"I'm not going to let you get them this time you abomination." Indominus tried to push his way past Soarin, only to find that now he could barely budge the giant Wonderbolt.

Somehow, the dinosaur's strength was being matched by a second rate pony that had nothing on him. Indominus was too preoccupied to notice Spitfire charging towards him, and she rammed the dinosaur head on. The hybrid dinosaur was once again sent skidding along the dirt, but when he got back up he was shocked to see all of the Wonderbolts at the same giant size heading for him.

"This time, it's our payback for how you've attacked us," yelled Spitfire.

The super-sized Wonderbolts barreled towards Indominus, completely unaware that they were in for a rude surprise. Right as they were about to attack the stunned dinosaur, all of the Wonderbolts were blindsided by a massive combined blast that drove them into the dirt. Soarin was appalled to see T-Rex, Blue and her girls all standing together and proud of their combined power. Indominus took advantage of the moment and dealt Soarin a retaliation punch to the head as payback for the sneak attack. The cocky Wonderbolt ended up in the same pile with his teammates and all of them got back up ready to fight.

"Thanks for the help brother," said Indominus as his family joined up with him.

"Don't mention it Indominus, this is one fight that we'll need to stick together to win against. These ponies have somehow gotten strong enough to rival our strength, and that is concerning."

"Well. those were only sneak attacks, none of them attacked me head on. Besides, even though they're stronger, that doesn't mean that they won't let their pride get in the way in this battle. Smaug told me that words are just as effective in a fight, and earlier I broke their minds with words alone. I believe I can still use that to our advantage to reduce their numbers."

"Regardless, we're gonna stick with you in this fight Indominus," said Blue. "We don't want to see you lose control again."

"Let's hope so Blue, I don't want to end up using the Immortal Phoenix and risk hurting my family again."

The dinosaurs squared off against the giant Wonderbolts, but the odds were not in their favor. It was six dinosaurs to eleven Wonderbolts, and despite their power advantage, the dinosaurs would be dealing with opponents that were faster and more agile than dragons.

"So Wonderbolts, are we ready to show this abomination and his pitiful family what it means to mess with us?"

"I'm ready to crush that monster, Boss," said Soarin.

"I'll take first crack at him, if you don't mind Soarin," said Wave Chill, a Wonderbolt with a slightly dull shade of blue fur and a dark blue mane and tail.

"You sure you want to do this Wave Chill?"

"I'm positive Spitfire, if you and Soarin could knock this ugly creature over in one hit each, I shouldn't have any problems."

"Very well, have at it. Any last words before you watch your precious husband bite the dust, Rainbow Crash?"

Rainbow had been rooted to the spot the whole time. After everything she had witnessed, her heart was torn between the two sides. If she helped one side, it would mean turning her back on someone she cared about. Rainbow didn't have the willpower to help Indominus in this fight, because she couldn't bring herself to attack the ponies she looked up to so much. She did however, have one thing to say to the Wonderbolts.

"If you go through with this Spitfire, you're going to regret it in the end."

"You honestly believe that we are going to lose to these behemoths? Please Crash, they are nothing but a bunch of monsters that don't deserve to live in this world."

"You have the nerve to talk about my family like that," said Scootaloo, who was getting really fed up with all the bashing on the dinosaurs that had looked after her. "They have been guardians and a true family to me, they are not mon-"

"Stay out of this runt, this matter doesn't concern you." Hearing Spitfire verbally assault Scootaloo was enough to get the anger in Tyrannosaurus sparked.

"Why don't you shut your flapping trap and fight us, you self-absorbed pile of dead flesh?"

"As you wish monster, Wave Chill, go have your first crack at them."

"With pleasure." The Wonderbolt blasted off the ground and went right for Indominus.

"Kill him brother," T-Rex called out as Indominus charged forward to meet the cocky Wonderbolt. What came next happened so fast, nopony could believe it.

One moment Wave Chill was heading towards Indominus, and the next, he was completely frozen to the spot with Indominus right in front of him. None of the other Wonderbolts could understand why he wasn't doing anything.

"What are you waiting for, permission? Attack him!" Spitfire's command didn't even seem to reach Wave Chill, but all of a sudden, a pain filled cry filled the area and sent chills running through everypony.

It turned out Indominus had impaled Wave Chill right in the eyes with his thumb and middle sickle claws. He had just applied enough pressure to make them explode, which was why the once confident Wonderbolt was screaming in agony. Everypony could see blood pouring out of his eye sockets, and the Wonderbolt was completely helpless as Indominus towered over him.

"How's that for an ugly creature, you ignorant, dead bastard?" Indominus then clamped his jaws down on the Wonderbolt's head, and in one swift jerk of his neck, tore the head off completely.

The Wonderbolts gasped in shock as Wave Chill's headless body began spurting blood from where his head had been and slowly staggered towards them before collapsing on the ground. Indominus stood atop the dead Wonderbolt and stared back at the others in a predatory fashion with their teammate's head still in his mouth. Most of the Wonderbolts had horrified expressions and a few of them had to look away from the gruesome sight. Spitfire and Soarin stood transfixed at the hideous display, never in their entire lives had they seen a Wonderbolt killed in such a manner. But what Indominus did next, set in motion a battle that was going to put his sanity and life on the line.

The Wonderbolts could only watch as Indominus crunched down on Wave Chill's skull until it exploded and bursts of blood were sent flying onto their faces. Rainbow couldn't believe what she had seen: Indominus hadn't just killed a Wonderbolt, he had declared war on all of them. Now he truly was going to kill them, despite the promise he had made to her. With fresh blood oozing from his jaws, Indominus began to glow red as he tapped into his power.

"You should've run away when you had the chance, Wonderbolts. Now you've sealed your own fate, FEEL THE POWER OF THE GUARDIANS OF EQUESTRIA!!"

The dinosaurs all charged forward as their bodies transformed into their guardian states. The Wonderbolts angrily charged at them after watching their teammate being killed in such a brutal way. The giant creatures collided with one another, and the colossal fight was underway. The raptors each tackled a Wonderbolt with Blue and Delta taking on two instead, while Soarin went after Indominus and T-Rex was left to battle Spitfire and Blaze. From there it was a flurry of punching hooves, slashing claws and biting flesh as the Wonderbolts took on the dinosaurs.

Blue had her claws full dealing with both Fire Streak and Fleetfoot at once, she had to constantly switch between her targets while attacking them to avoid being overwhelmed. She tackled Fleetfoot first and began biting and slashing away with her claws. Fire Streak tried to attack Blue, but only ended up playing into her claws when the raptor jumped off Fleetfoot and attacked him instead. The Wonderbolt tried punching Blue as her claws dug into his skin, but she was agile enough to dodge his massive hooves and tear away at him. Despite her injuries and a slashed stomach, Fleetfoot rushed over to aide her partner, only for Blue to run off Fire Streak and blast the Wonderbolt right in the face. Even with enhanced strength and size, the Wonderbolts clearly didn't have the brainpower of the dinosaurs.

Delta was handling Surprise and Misty Fly just as effectively as her sister, carving up both Wonderbolts and straight up overwhelming them with her power and attacks. Blasting both Wonderbolts, immobilizing Misty Fly with a sickle claw in the chest and biting down on Surprise's neck. She had the Wonderbolts pinned and was beginning to strangle Surprise to death with the Wonderbolt struggling to free herself. She managed to jerk her head and it put Blue's neck within reach, allowing surprise to bite down on her. The bite may have released Blue's grip, but it only caused the raptor to retaliate by blasting Surprise right in the face.

Charlie and Echo had only one Wonderbolt to fight themselves and didn't have to worry about the threat of being double teamed like their sisters. The monstrous size of the Wonderbolts only made it easier for the agile raptors to attack them. However, Lightning Streak and Silver Lining were fairly agile themselves and could keep pace with the Velociraptors. It was much tougher than when they fought Garble and his gang. The juiced Wonderbolts had enough speed and strength to keep up with the dinosaurs and their power.

Tyrannosaurus was holding his own against Spitfire and Blaze, his sheer size and bulk allowed him to take the blows more easily than the raptor squad. The two Wonderbolts had to focus more on dodging the massive jaws of teeth and the tremendous blasts Rexy was launching at them. If Tyrannosaurus got his mouth on a Wonderbolt, his bite force would kill them on the spot, regardless of their new size and strength.

"What's wrong Shitfire, did my brother make you scared of us?"

"Why you!!" Spitfire angrily charged towards T-Rex after his snide remark, but just like with Indominus, she had played into his clutches.

Tyrannosaurus smashed her with his head and the impact left her shaken and stunned from the force of the blow. T-Rex took advantage of the moment and closed in on her, preparing a blast in his mouth. Blaze flew over and tried to hold T-Rex in place, her strength actually kept him still while Spitfire recovered from the hit. She flew back towards the stuck dinosaur and was about to strike when Rexy released his attack. The attack hit Spitfire at point blank range and drove her into the ground before exploding. He then threw himself backwards with Blaze still holding him, and the Wonderbolt felt the full force of thirteen thousand pounds of weight being pressed on her.

"You Wonderbolts are even dumber than I thought, surely you saw that coming," T-Rex said while hearing Blaze groan from being crushed.

The tyrant lizard used his wings to get back up and towered over the beaten Wonderbolt. Her body had numerous holes in it where Tyrannosaurus's yellow spikes had pierced her body. He began kneeling down, opened his jaws and began closing in on Blaze's neck. T-Rex was about to clamp down on the Wonderbolt when he felt a powerful force ram him from the side. Spitfire had recovered from the blast and had intervened before Tyrannosaurus could kill her partner.

Tyrannosaurus staggered a bit and quickly turned to face his battered, but far from broken opponents.

"It's going to take more than that to beat us, monster," Spitfire called out to T-Rex while she helped out Blaze.

"We have more," Tyrannosaurus responded before charging back into his fight. While T-Rex and the raptor squad were doing well in their fights, the one having the most difficult battle was Indominus.

The hybrid dinosaur was going all out against Soarin, and the Wonderbolt was throwing everything he had at him. Punches, kicks, swift attacks in the air, anything to try and get the upper hand on Indominus. The hybrid retaliated with slashes, bites and numerous blasts, but Soarin was dodging every attempt or blocking each hit. Soarin's speed and agility were proving difficult for Indominus to keep pace with in the fight, but Indominus wasn't just fighting Soarin. He was also fighting to keep his anger from getting out of control and bringing out the Immortal Phoenix.

As much as Indominus wanted to crush Soarin, he was spending part of the fight battling his own rage, trying to keep it in check. He was trying to avoid going on another rampage if the Immortal Phoenix got loose, Indominus was afraid he would hurt Rainbow Dash. But fighting the pony that had hurt Rainbow in the first place was bringing out more of Indominus's anger, making it that much harder to keep in control. So the fight was more difficult for him compared to his brother and sisters, but it was only going to get tougher.

Indominus finally got a break when Soarin came flying towards him too fast. As the dinosaur dodged the Wonderbolt, he raked his claws across Soarin's stomach and it sent the pony crashing into the grouind. Before Soarin could get back up, Indominus drove his claws into the Wonderbolt's back and dragged them down the full length. The others turned in shock as Indominus stepped down on Soarin's left back leg and crushed the bones. The Wonderbolt's painful scream filled the area and caused the Mane Six to cringe at hearing the bones being crushed.

"This is just the beginning for you and your teammates Soarin, this is for all the pain you've caused Rainbow Dash. I'll see to it that you pay for having hurt the pony I love."

The hybrid then turned Soarin over and grabbed his right front hoof while restraining the other before the Wonderbolt could attack him. With one foot pinning Soarin to the ground, Indominus began turning his leg at an unnatural angle. Soarin could feel the bones in his trapped leg beginning to crack and knew that Indominus was trying to immobilize him and kill him when he couldn't fight back. The hybrid was gaining the upper hand in his brawl, but just when it seemed Indominus was going to cripple Soarin, the odds turned on him. Indominus was about to break Soarin's leg, he felt a punch right in the center of his neck.

Fleetfoot had sneak attacked Indominus and taken the breath out of him at the same time. Indominus staggered away and gripped his throat as he tried to get his breathing back. He couldn't understand how Fleetfoot had gotten past Blue until he saw her pinned and Fire Streak standing over the raptor with his hooves on her neck. Now it was two giant Wonderbolts against Indominus, and he was attacked again before he could focus on his opponents. Fleetfoot rammed Indominus across the face and the hybrid angrily fired a blast at as she zoomed past him. Tyrannosaurus noticed that traces of gold flame were beginning to show around Indominus, and he knew that his brother was in trouble of losing control again. Within his mind, T-Rex reached out to the only one that could help the hybrid now.

"Rainbow Dash, Indominus is starting to lose control of his rage again!" Rainbow heard Tyrannosaurus's worried voice inside her mind and looked over at her husband.

He was getting overwhelmed by the multiple attacks coming from Soarin and Fleetfoot and roaring and unleashing blasts all over the area. She could see the traces of gold fire too and realized Indominus was getting close to releasing the Immortal Phoenix again. The others could see it too and knew they had to intervene, but the only ones that could do anything were Rainbow and Scootaloo.

"Rainbow Dash we've got to help him," said Scootaloo in a desperate tone.

"i-I don't think I can Scootaloo. I don't think I can fight the Wonderbolts."

"You can't be serious Rainbow Dash," said Twilight, appalled at what her friend was saying. "Are you really going to let them kill Indominus? Because that's what's going to happen if you don't help him."

"No! I don't want to lose him again. I love him too much."

"Then at least help him out darling, so he won't lose control again," said Rarity. "If you won't fight for yourself, then fight for Indominus."

"It's yer call sugarcube, are ya gonna let the Wonderbolts kill the one ya love most, or are ya gonna help him fight?

Rainbow realized that there was no way she could stay with both sides. One way or another, she was going to have to choose which side to fight on. She decided that she valued Indominus's life more than the Wonderbolts, after everything they had done to her. She and Scootaloo increased their size to help out their family.

"Scootaloo, you help Blue out, I'm going to help my husband."

"You got it Rainbow." The sisters took off towards the battle zone, hoping that they could stop Indominus from transforming.

Blue was still trying to get herself free from Fire Streak's grip. Her sisters couldn't get to her because their opponents were keeping them from getting close.

"Keep on struggling monster, nopony is going to help you," said Fire Streak before he heard a loud and strong response.

"GET YOUR HOOVES OFF HER YOU STUPID WONDERBOLT!!" Fire Streak turned his head a minute too late as Scootaloo dealt him a ramming punch to the face.

"Thanks for the help Scootaloo," said Blue as she got helped to her feet.

"Anytime sis, now let's get this punk."

The pegasus and raptor rushed the Wonderbolt by attacking him and double teaming him with their combined effort. Fire Streak couldn't fight back as Scootaloo dealt stunning punches to his head and Blue sliced up his body with her claws. They had the Wonderbolt trapped and continued to deal deadly strikes until the attacks took their toll. The combination of blood loss from Blue's attacks and Scootaloo's strong punches, caused Fire Streak to collapse. Scootaloo and Blue held him as they watched Rainbow fly over to aid her husband.

Indominus was doing his best to fight both Wonderbolts, but they were gaining the upper hand and he was losing control of his rage. When Fleetfoot came in for another attack, Indominus grabbed her by the hooves and finally stopped her assault. She could see the rage in Indominus's eyes, and Fleetfoot was starting to think that it might've been a bad idea to fight him.

"Gotcha now monster." Indominus turned his head to see Soarin about to attack him again, but an intervention from a certain pegasus surprised all of them.

Rainbow came screening in and dealt a high speed kick to Soarin's face. The Wonderbolt felt his head turn on it's side as he was slammed into the ground by her surprise attack. All the Wonderbolts were shocked that Rainbow had chosen to side with the beast that had caused so much destruction and death to them and their compound. Indominus took advantage of the confusion and blasted Fleetfoot in the face, sending her into an exploding heap.

"Rainbow, y-you helped me?"

"I only wished that I had helped you sooner Indominus."

"I can't believe what I'm hearing, you would choose that MONSTER OVER US CRASH!?" Spitfire was so angry that she punched Tyrannosaurus with enough strength to knock him over. "Blaze, don't let this beast get back up."

"Yes maam," said Blaze as she placed her hooves on T-Rex's neck.

Spitfire walked over to Rainbow and Indominus with pure anger in her eyes. This was the first time that any of the Wonderbolts had seen their leader so angry and furious.

"You would choose the monster that attacked us, destroyed our compound and killed one of our teammates? I thought you were better than this Crash." Despite the damage he had taken from being double teamed, Indominus walked right up to Spitfire, completely ignoring the other Wonderbolts.

"I thought I told you not to call her that nickname again, Shitfire! Rainbow chose me because we love each other and I've only done those things because I actually care about her, unlike you. You scoundrels chose to insult her, you treated her like garbage after everything and all the effort she did for you ponies. All this devastation is your fault."

"I WON'T BE INSULTED OR TOLD WHAT I SHOULD'VE DONE FOR THE WONDERBOLTS BY SOME PUTRID ABOMINATION!!" Spitfire dealt a savage uppercut to Indominus then she and Fleetfoot pinned him to the ground while he was stunned.

They placed their hooves down on his arms and on his body to prevent him from gathering strength to free himself. Indominus still struggled against them, for he knew that Soarin was going to use the opportunity to hurt Rainbow in front of him and he had to get free. The hybrid tried scrambling to get back on his feet, but a strong blow on his back caused him to collapse. Indominus roared in pain because Soarin had nailed a direct hit on the lower portion of his spine. The Wonderbolt confidently walked in front of Indominus and looked down upon the wounded dinosaur.

"Now you're the one in the dirt monster. You've made us suffer, and now I'll make you suffer." Soarin looked over at Rainbow Dash, who was horrified at how beat up Indominus was. "So tell me Crash, you said if we fought this hideous behemoth you call a husband, we would regret it. Judging by how he looks, I'd say he's the one regretting it."

"Soarin, I'm going to say this one time. Get away from Indominus before you provoke something that will devastate you! If you enrage Indominus too much, he'll kill you."

"I doubt that, based on how he's been fighting so far, he won't be able to kill anymore of us now." Soarin began walking over to Rainbow Dash, and Indominus felt his heart drop. If Soarin was going to do what Indominus thought he was going to do, he wished that the Wonderbolt would receive mercy on his soul.

"What are you doing Soarin, he's the enemy not her," said Spitfire, who was genuinely surprised by what Soarin was doing.

"Shut it Boss, she's as much my enemy as he is because she defended him. She chose to side with the monsters and now she'll pay."

Suddenly Soarin sprinted forward and dealt a punch right to Rainbow's chest, causing her to double over. Everyone was frozen over in shock after what Soarin had done, including the Wonderbolts. Spitfire had thought Soarin was only interested in stopping Indominus, not hurting Rainbow Dash. The situation only got worse as Soarin began punching Rainbow's face over and over.

"You should've chosen me Crash, not that monster. I told you that you'd regret choosing him over me, this is the day where you atone for your foolish decision!" Soarin continued to attack Rainbow until a bellow erupted across the battlefield.

"WONDERBOLTS!!!!" Indominus broke Spitfire and Fleetfoot's grip on his body and stood at his full height with gold flame beginning to surge around him and his red aura surging into the sky.

The Mane five and CMC felt chills racing through their bodies as Indominus's roar echoed across the landscape. Everypony could feel the ground beginning to rumble and pitch black storm clouds were rolling in.

"I didn't know that we were supposed to have a storm today," said Fluttershy.

"We're not," said Twilight in a scared tone. She was looking at Indominus's increasing power and was stunned by what was happening. "I don't believe it."

"What's happening darling," asked Rarity.

"Equestria is responding to Indominus's rage, his power has invoked Equestria itself and it's showing it's own anger in response to his."

"So these storm clouds-"

"Weren't created by Cloudsdale, they were created from Equestria's anger."

Tyrannosaurus saw the storm clouds too, and a haunting realization dawned on him. This wasn't like the last time: Indominus was giving into his anger completely and it was affecting everything around him. It was like Equestria itself was sharing Indominus's anger and showing it's own. He watched as his brother began to rise away from the Wonderbolts and the gold flames began to cover his body.

"EVERYONE!!! WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE NOW!!!!"

The raptors and Scootaloo wasted no time in scattering away from the area, they knew that this rampage was going to be far more destructive than before. Tyrannosaurus scooped up the others and he and his family began putting as much distance as they could between themselves and Indominus. He knew all too well that none of them stood a chance at containing Indominus now, the full force of his rage was being turned loose. T-Rex could only hope by some miracle that Indominus would be able to stop himself before he laid waste to the Wonderbolts and all of Equestria. Once they got far enough from the battle, it occurred to all of them that only one had stayed behind, and it scared Scootaloo.

"Wait, where's Rainbow Dash?"

Rainbow stood rooted to the spot like the Wonderbolts as she watched her husband being covered by the golden fire of the Immortal Phoenix.

"Indominus, I'm sorry," was all Rainbow could say. Unfortunately, she was unaware that within Indominus, something more sinister was taking place.

The Immortal Phoenix wasn't the only thing enveloping Indominus, his anger was taking over his mind and it awakened something, evil.
As the golden flame was engulfing his body, Indominus could hear a demonic, sinister voice within his mind. Inside his mind, a monster had manifested itself in the form Indominus had when he was the Immortal Phoenix, only with dark black flames and sinister red eyes.

"Ah, such raw rage and power. It's been so long since I've felt your fury Indominus, a power that I've always craved. Did you really think you could bury so much hatred and rage that has been with you all your life? We're going to be gods in this world that has rejected and hated you. We'll destroy everything until there's nothing but a world of bleeding corpses. I'm your inevitable conclusion. I'm the ultimate you. I'M THE DEVIL!! NOW DESTROY THEM!!!"

"Wonderbolts, you have hurt, my girl for the last time," Indominus roared down to the Wonderbolts with the flames licking at his scales. As the golden power surrounded him completely, he bellowed down to them "NOW YOU WILL NEVER AGAIN SEE THE LIGHT OF DAAAAYYYYY!!!!!!"

As soon as the last word escaped his jaws, Indominus's power erupted to such a massive degree that the gold flames filled the sky. Following his power was thousands of lightning bolts that rained down from the heavens. The Wonderbolts were paralyzed with absolute terror in their hearts, the formula wasn't going to make a difference against a creature with the fury of a god. Suddenly, Indominus zoomed out of the sky and was in front of them in a matter of seconds. His savage roars shook everything around him and the gold flames that he was emitting made him look like a demon from the darkest pit of Hell.

"DDDDIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!" That was the only word Indominus said before he began his assault on the Wonderbolts.

With one punch, he sent Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot skidding across the dirt. Blaze tried to run but Indominus grabbed her by the back leg and pulled her towards him. He savagely tore off her front legs and then did something so gruesome, it would haunt the Wonderbolts for the rest of their lives. He grabbed Blaze by the head, brought her up until they were eye level, and then pulled her head apart until the Wonderbolt's whole body was split right down the middle. In his blind fury, Indominus tore the Wonderbolt to shreds until there were just a bunch of bloody remains, that were consumed by the raging flames. After killing Blaze, Indominus bellowed a psychotic and mindless roar across the sky.

The golden flames were raging violently all across the land, engulfing everything in their path. Indominus's power was growing more destructive and violent with each passing second. The Mane Six could only watch as Indominus resumed his savage beatdown on the Wonderbolts, pounding them with so much force that the attacks were causing hundreds of earthquakes. They were joined by some unexpected company, who had been drawn to the area by Indominus's rage.

"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, I assume you've seen Indominus's power as well?"

"Yes we did Twilight Sparkle," said Luna. "What happened to make him so savage and destructive?"

"The Wonderbolts tried to hurt Rainbow Dash, then they attacked the dinosaurs, and Soarin started beating up Rainbow," said Scootaloo.

The princesses looked back at the raging gold fire and the rage driven dinosaur that was attacking the Wonderbolts with incredible ferocity. There was nothing they could do to stop power of such a deadly caliber. Luna was dreadfully worried for Indominus, she had seen part of the hybrid's pain and hoped he would be able to stop himself.

"Is there anyway to stop him Twilight?"

"I'm afraid not Princess Celestia, either Indominus runs out of power before he kills the Wonderbolts, or Rainbow is able to find a way to stop him."

"Wait, you mean that Rainbow Dash is over there in the midst of all that destruction?"

"Indeed she is, Luna, this is her first time seeing Indominus with so much rage and hatred. She's seeing all the pain he kept hidden from her for so long." said Tyrannosaurus.

Luna looked back at the devastation and thought to herself, "please Indominus, come out of this rampage safely."

Rainbow was too overwhelmed with the power Indominus was emitting that all she could do was watch him devastate the Wonderbolts. Soarin, Spitfire and the others were being slashed up by flaming claws before Indominus slammed them into the ground. He turned to see Fire Streak was trying to fly off and instantly caught up with him. Fire Streak didn't get even a second to react before Indominus punched right through his chest and tore the pony apart from the inside out. The Wonderbolt's severed body and mashed insides plummeted to the ground and Indominus resumed his beating on the others.

He punched Fleetfoot so hard that she was knocked out cold before she hit the ground. He did the same exact thing with the others, attacking and beating them into submission with his immense power and carving up their bodies. Soon the remaining Wonderbolts were in a dog pile with their bodies thrashed and bleeding, all except for Spitfire. The once confident Wonderbolt was quivering in sheer fear and dread at the golden fiery monster that stood before her.

"Now there is just one," said Indominus in a demonic voice. "I'm going to take my time tormenting you until I've broken your will, Shitfire. By the way, I knew you Wonderbolts were sneaky and deceiving fools, but I never imagined that you were liars as well."

"What does he mean, Spitfire?" The Wonderbolt felt a lump form in her throat: Indominus had discovered the one secret that she hoped Rainbow would never find out. "I said, what is he talking about, maam?"

"Oh she didn't tell you Rainbow? Well here's the deal: Shitfire here, lied to you about all the Wonderbolts having embarrassing nicknames on their jackets."

"That's not true, you're just making up nonsense"

"Am I? I destroyed your locker room and I saw ALL of the jackets, and apart from Rainbow's, not one of them had a single symbol. You Wonderbolts are nothing but stingy bullies, and liars."

Rainbow stared angrily at Spitfire, truly fed up with all that she had heard. Indominus had been right about everything, the Wonderbolts had been deceiving her the whole time, everything they had accomplished and wanting Rainbow on their team, was nothing but deception and a lie.

"L-listen Crash-I mean D-Dash, it's not what you think. I-I-I can explain."

"Don't bother, I've heard all I needed to hear."

"No really, I can explain why I did thi-"

"YOU LIED TO HER, AND NOW YOU WILL PAY OF DECEIVING AND ATTACKING MY GIRL, SHITFIRE!!!"

"You'll see what it's like to experience true rage first hand, worthless Wonderbolt"

Behold the horrors
They lurk beneath the shadows of remorse
You wouldn't know of course
But i forced a new judgment day
On this day you will repay
Your respects to all that may
Have suffered from your mind and your kind
So have a seat and be afraid
Rage's about to commence the final ritual
Your death is all I need for vengeance to be served
And when your blood begins to flow forth
you wont be leaving this life
you'll only burn in hell inside Tartarus
as I tear you up inside
YOUR LIFE IS MINE
(Indominus slashing away at Spitfire while singing)
All this torture will unwind
I was never all that kind
If you were to rewind
Then you would find
Your life is mine
Take your turn to run and hide
I will kill you every time
This night no longer shines
Your death divine
You'll now be mine!

Indominus stared down upon Spitfire, who was trembling before the rage enhanced dinosaur and his devil look.

Behold the terrors
You wont believe
What i will do to you
I'll make you look like blood
and orange glue
But don't digress
I'm the ring master you see
I'm the horrid beast you'll flee
I kill every ghoul
Believe me
Now have a seat
Embrace your life
My savage hate will drain you dry
But darkened thoughts
are the common grounds
I give myself to be her king
Be as it may
My loyalty remains
So I'm showing you
My darkest power
Prepare to lose your filthy pride
As I tear apart your hide
YOUR LIFE IS MINE
All this torture will unwind
I was never all that kind
If you were to rewind
Then you would find
Your life is mine
Take your turn to run and hide
I will kill you every time
This night no longer shines
Your death divine
You'll now be mine!
You dare bring pain to my girl?
WELL THEN
LET US DECEND
Re-born again
My body is refined
Breathing new life
Inside your tomb tonight
You have no idea what we've been through
Time and time again
Now you shall face your deadliest demise
I won't keep you alive!

Indominus slammed Spitfire into the dirt and towered over the beaten Wonderbolt. Her spirit and will had been all but destroyed by the savage hybrid dinosaur.

"You really shouldn't have done this to her."

"You don't understand, that is how things are done with the Wonderbo-"

Spitfire was cut off as Indominus grabbed her by the throat and bellowed in her face.

"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT HOW YOU WONDERBOLTS HANDLE THINGS OR YOUR REASONS!!!"

YOU BURNED HER DREAM DOWN!
YOU TOOK IT AWAY
YOU MADE HER LOOK LIKE CLOWNS
YOU WILL ALL PAY
But like the jester said to the king
There is bad news i bring
Now let your death begin!
YOUR LIFE IS MINE!

Indominus went into a blind frenzy and began beating Spitfire all over the area. He punched her so hard that the Mane Six, CMC, dinosaurs and princesses could all hear the sound of bones being broken. He slashed up her body, crushed more bones, smashed her head into the ground with his fists and tossed her onto the pile of beaten Wonderbolts. She wound up on top and Indominus could hear her whimpering and crying like a rat, which added more fuel to his devastation. With all of the Wonderbolts now in one pile, Indominus knew exactly what to do with them.

I hope you enjoy your death
Now take your final breath

Indominus slammed both fists into the ground and twenty glowing cracks started heading towards the beaten Wonderbolts. A fissure of his glowing power sent them flying into the sky and Indominus followed after while absorbing the lightning strikes from the storm clouds. He then fired a blast that sent all of the Wonderbolts careening in the same direction and he followed after them. Rainbow realized where they were going and followed them too. The Wonderbolts were heading back towards their own compound and once they were above the runway, Indominus slammed them all into it with a single attack.

Indominus stood perched on a line of clouds with lightning and gold fire surging all around him as he watched Spitfire struggle to get back up.

"How does it feel now, to be the one groveling in the dirt?" Spitfire was able to regain consciousness, but she couldn't get back on her hooves because her body had taken too much punishment. "Now that is a pity," Indominus said as he paced across the clouds like a dragon stalking its prey. "What will you do now, Shitfire? You are forsaken. No help will come."

Indominus glided down to the pile of slashed and defeated excuses for "the best flyers in Equestria," and pinned Spitfire to the ground with one hand.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gdYrK3AxGU

She was so terrified of him now, and the hybrid dinosaur was reveling in how he had truly broken the head of the Wonderbolts.

"Tell me, Shitfire, how now shall YOU challenge ME? You have nothing left, but your DEATH!!" Indominus opened his jaws to reveal a deadly red blast at the back of his throat. Spitfire was balling her eyes out, pleading for a way out as death loomed over her tattered body, ready to end her existence with one final attack.

A Cruel and Sad Fight

Author's Notes:

I'm very sorry for what all of you are about to read. I got brought to tears too many times doing this chapter. I hope everyone will be alright after this one.

With the jaws of death looming over their battered and thrashed bodies, it seemed like the Wonderbolts were going to be dealt the worst way to die. Indominus and the Immortal Phoenix had broken their newly enhanced bodies and killed three of them in the process. Now the end was truly in sight for the best flyers in Equestria, until they received some unexpected help.

"NO iNDOMINUS! YOU CAN'T DO THIS!" The hybrid looked up from his prey just as Rainbow Dash slammed right into his chest, causing the blast in his jaws to be released into the sky.

Rainbow pulled away as Indominus crashed into the runway, and watched as the detonation from the blast enveloped most of the sky. She realized that Indominus had put too much power into the attack, he had intended to do far more than just kill the Wonderbolts.

"Oh my Celestia, he wasn't just trying to kill them. That blast had enough power to destroy the Wonderbolts, the whole compound and the entire runway island. I have to stop him."

Rainbow stood in front of the beaten Wonderbolts, the only one keeping Indominus from wiping them out of existence. Spitfire was stunned as Rainbow transformed and bellowed to Indominus.

"INDOMINUS, STAND DOWN!!" Rainbow wasn't aware of it, but Indominus's anger had begun to cloud his mind once more.

Within his mind, Indominus was hearing his Devil saying wicked, dark things that were filling his head with more anger. The monster in his mind was pressing him to kill all the Wonderbolts, and was disillusioning the hybrid dinosaur that his own wife was another Wonderbolt that needed to die.

"You must kill them all Indominus. They hurt Rainbow Dash, they've hurt your family. Give into your rage, and spread their blood and organs all over the world. KILL THEM!!"

With the demon's voice pounding in his head and his rage getting stronger, Indominus angrily clawed at his face in frustration and roared wildly at everything around him. Rainbow was seeing firsthand what the rage Indominus had kept buried for so long was capable of doing to him.

"So this is what T-Rex and the raptors had to deal with," Rainbow said to herself. "Oh this is going to be one hell of a fight."

"Don't try to stand against that beast Crash, you'll only get yourself killed." Rainbow turned at the Wonderbolt pile after hearing Spitfire's weak response. She was barely able to get up, not surprising given how much Indominus had beat her into the ground.

"Oh now you decide to care? Just stay down Spitfire, unless you want to end up in a pile of blood and guts like the three dead Wonderbolts back on the ground." Spitfire reluctantly collapsed after Rainbow's response. "I'll stop Indominus myself, because I don't want him to kill anymore. I don't want to lose my husband or my so called heroes, despite how you and the others have treated me. That's why I'm doing this for you ponies, so just stay out of it and keep your mouth shut."

Rainbow glared at the rage blinded dinosaur engulfed by his golden flames. This fight was going to be a real challenge for Rainbow: she had to keep Indominus from killing the Wonderbolts, stop his rampage and change him back before the Immortal Phoenix could kill him. All while trying to avoid being killed by the one she loved in the process.

"Please Indominus, don't do this. You promised me that you wouldn't kill any of the Wonderbolts."

As soon as that word escaped her mouth, Indominus roared savagely and yelled. "THE WONDERBOLTS WILL DIE!!"

"Uh oh, shouldn't have said that." The fight began as Indominus charged towards Rainbow and the beaten Wonderbolts.

Rainbow exploded off the ground, met Indominus halfway to his victims and dealt him an uppercut to the jaw that sent him skyward. She flew past Indominus and looped back around to attack him again, but Indominus dealt a punch to her face as soon as Rainbow hit him. Both were sent in opposite directions from the force of each blow and wound up on a set of clouds. Rainbow shook off the blow and looked down on her husband, who was already getting back up and showing no signs of being fazed by the punch.

"Alright Rainbow Dash, if you're gonna even come close to living through this, you've gotta start thinking like your scaly husband." Rainbow might not have had as much strength as Indominus, but she did have one advantage: plenty of training sessions and knowing how her husband fought.

As Indominus charged back towards her, Rainbow tried to recall how Indominus normally started his attack. "Let's see, you usually start with the right claw first." Right on cue Rainbow could see Indominus raising his right hand to strike her. She lifted her left leg and blocked the blow, "then you go a bite." She ducked her head as Indominus tried to clamp down on her and jerked in back upwards and stunned the hybrid dinosaur. With a small window of opportunity, Rainbow gathered as much strength as she could and dealt a punch right to the dinosaur's gut.

Spitfire watched in amazement as Indominus began to sink to his knees from the force of the attack. Rainbow started charging up a blast in her mouth to knock Indominus out of the Immortal Phoenix, but Indominus forced her to use it too soon. The hybrid stopped himself from dropping to his knees and angrily fired a blast at Rainbow Dash, forcing her to use her own blast to avoid being overtaken the attack. The energies were so close when they collided that it created an explosion that engulfed both combatants.

"That was fast, how could he possibly stop that? Rainbow was right in his face," said Spitfire in shock after witnessing the explosion.

When the smoke cleared it was obvious that this fight was going to be a long one. Both Rainbow and Indominus were steaming from the explosion, but neither looked to be showing any signs of fatigue. Rainbow had the look of a predator in her eyes that matched the glowing savagery Indominus had in his. They were one in the same and it showed most when they fought, but this was a battle neither of them were going to win. Rainbow felt her breath stop when Indominus suddenly glanced back towards the pile of Wonderbolts, he was still intent on killing them, even while fighting his own wife.

He bolted off the clouds and headed back towards his fallen enemies. He was almost within reach when Rainbow blindsided him with a strong punch across the face. With speed being Rainbow's specialty, there was no way Indominus would be able to outrun her, even with the Immortal Phoenix. She would be fast enough to keep him from reaching the Wonderbolts at every turn.

"YOU'RE NOT GOING TO KILL THEM INDOMINUS! I SWEAR I'LL SAVE YOU AND TURN YOU BACK TO NORMAL IF IT'S THE LAST THING I DO!"

With one powerful strike, Rainbow hit Indominus with enough force to send him falling out of the sky and crashing into the dirt where the devastation had started. She followed after him, afraid of what the outcome of their battle would be. But she would not be heading back to the battlefield alone, Spitfire managed to get back onto her hooves and struggled to fly.

"She's held her own against that monster, and has done what none of us could do. I must see if Crash is able to best this monster, and if we're lucky, she can even kill him for us."

Back on the ground, the Mane five, CMC, dinosaurs and princesses were shocked to see Indominus crashing into the ground. But what shocked them most was how he actually seemed to be having trouble getting up from the impact.

"Ok, either the Immortal Phoenix is finally beginning to take a toll on him, or Rainbow is even stronger than we thought," said Twilight.

"Let's hope so Twilight," said Luna. "I don't know how much longer Indominus can sustain that form."

The others shook in fear when Rainbow landed and was glowing with her power. Scootaloo didn't like how Rainbow seemed so dead serious in front of Indominus, but the deranged red glow in the hybrid's eyes told her that they wouldn't stop until one of them gave out. It tore apart the Mane Five to see the lovers fighting each other, especially after they had seen them loving each other with such passion before.

The transformed lovers charged at each other and the fight resumed with Rainbow blocking Indominus's claws and smacking him across the head. The rage fueled hybrid barely had time to react before Rainbow laid a relentless assault of punches on him. Indominus struck back with great ferocity, keeping pace with Rainbow's attacks and pushing the pegasus to her limits. Both pegasus and dinosaur were taking the deadly blows from their power and the shock waves being sent out from the impacts were rocking the entire area. It certainly left Celestia and Luna speechless, seeing the devastating power that Rainbow and Indominus were releasing was beyond anything they had ever encountered.

"This makes Black Death's wrath on Equestria seem like a campfire, right Luna," said Celestia who was so afraid of the anger driven look in Indominus's eyes.

"Indeed sister, I-I can't even fathom the kind of power Indominus is using. Plus the fact that Rainbow Dash can actually keep pace with him and damage him in that form, is astounding."

"That's because Indominus spent so much time training her," said Scootaloo. The others looked at her in bewilderment.

"It's true," said Blue, confirming the suspicions. "During our first year of bonding before their marriage, Indominus took the time to train Rainbow so she could be a strong warrior like him. He taught her everything that he knew about fighting and she learned from sparring with him, including how to counter or match all his moves."

This left the Mane Five stunned: Indominus had made Rainbow into the only warrior that could fight him at his best and potentially beat him in combat. She had seen all his powers and how he fought against his enemies, and now she was using that knowledge and the power he had given her to fight for her life and Indominus's. Her friends hoped that Rainbow could stop Indominus, because with how long he had been using the Immortal Phoenix, there was no telling how badly damaged his body was. Their bodies were rattled when a massive shock wave was created from Indominus and Rainbow colliding fists with each other. Strikes of lightning and streaks of golden fire surged outward from the colliding hoof and hand.

"You're definitely the strongest opponent I've ever faced, Indominus. As much as I love testing my strength against you, I have to stop your anger!" Rainbow dealt a savage punch to the dinosaur's face as he dealt a flaming punch to hers.

Both fighters staggered and were brought to their knees from the blows. This was the first time Tyrannosaurus or the raptors had ever seen Indominus getting wounded while he was the Immortal Phoenix. Clearly, Rainbow had the strength and fighting prowess to hold her own against the hybrid and damage him in a state that was supposed to make him invulnerable. Indominus struggled to stand up again, the first sign that the battle and his power were taking their toll on his body. As he stood back up, he spotted something in the air that was heading for the battlefield, and it brought fresh anger back into his heart. When Rainbow saw Indominus's attention wasn't focused on her again, she followed his gaze and her heart sank when she found what had caught his attention.

Spitfire was making her way towards the area, she had seen most of the fight and wanted to see Indominus fall. Despite Rainbow telling her to stay out of the fight, the stubborn Wonderbolt had chose to ignore the life-saving advice and nearly spell her demise. Seeing the Wonderbolt that had berated Rainbow so many times and been beaten by Indominus already, filled the dinosaur's head with more rage and he exploded off the ground. Rainbow wasn't able to catch Indominus because he had gained a head start on her, and could only watch as the hybrid grabbed Spitfire by the neck and headed back towards the compound. Indominus threw Spitfire into the air once they were above the damaged runway, and began smashing her with his fists all over again.

The other Wonderbolts had finally regained consciousness from their beating, but their bodies were too thrashed to help Spitfire in any way. They could only watch as Indominus grabbed Spitfire by the face and slammed her into the runway. Indominus held Spitfire in his hand by the throat and looked down upon the devastated Wonderbolt, who was crying from the force of his attack.

"This is your reward for attacking my family, your eternal REWARD! DIE WONDERBOLT!!" Indominus raised his right hand, claws ready to strike and lunged at Spitfire.

The others screamed in horror as they thought their leader was going to be killed in front of them. Indominus's claws pierced flesh, but it wasn't the one that he had expected to hurt. Rainbow Dash had reached the compound in time, but couldn't attack Indominus with Spitfire so close. Unable to choose between letting her heroes or husband live, Rainbow had to act and the only thing she could do was to throw her body in front of Indominus, and take the blow for Spitfire. Surprised by the act of selflessness, Indominus dropped Spitfire and pinned the weakened Rainbow Dash to the ground.

As he stared down at her, the demon in his mind kept telling him to kill her.

"Kill her, that Wonderbolt must die! Tear her to shreds!"

Indominus was about to listen to his dark half when he finally took notice of the rainbow mane. He then peeled away the face part of the uniform and when he saw who he had stabbed, all the anger in his mind disappeared instantly.

"RAINBOW DASH!!!!"

Indominus had actually stabbed Rainbow Dash, the one pony he loved so much and gave so much for. As the realization sank into his mind, Indominus finally got a look at all the devastation he had caused in his rampage. The beaten, bleeding pile of Wonderbolts, the out of control flames emitting from his body and the destroyed runway, filled his heart with guilt. The memory of all the damage he had caused came flooding back into his mind, and it overwhelmed Indominus to where he collapsed on his knees. Even the lightning clouds that had been around during his rampage dissipated into the air.

"No. W-What have I done!? I've hurt the pony I love most." Overcome with grief, guilt and sorrow over what he had done, Indominus bathed the Wonderbolts in his energy, and healed their bodies.

Spitfire was speechless at how Indominus had healed them after all the damage he had brought before. As she and her teammates started to stand again, Indominus turned his attention to his hurt wife. He gently poured his power on the wounds and they began to heal slowly. Given that he had hurt Rainbow with the Immortal Phoenix, the wounds wouldn't heal completely. Thankfully he managed to stop the bleeding and it allowed Rainbow to regain consciousness. Before Indominus could even begin to apologize to Rainbow, the Wonderbolts rammed him and dragged his burning body into the sky.

Rainbow was just getting her bearings when she saw her husband being dragged into the sky and being assaulted by the healed Wonderbolts. All she remembered was losing consciousness after Indominus had rammed his claws through her, it was remarkable that he hadn't pierced her heart. Now everything was happening so fast, but she remembered that she still had to turn Indominus back to normal. She saw a brief window of opportunity with Indominus being bombarded by the Wonderbolts, and began gathering energy in her mouth while flying after them. Still stricken with guilt over attacking Rainbow Dash, Indominus didn't have the will to fight back against the healed Wonderbolts.

Spitfire noticed Rainbow flying above them and the ball of red energy and saw the moment to stop the dinosaur.

"Wonderbolts! Knock this beast in her direction!." The Wonderbolts heeded their leader and dealt a combined punch to Indominus, sending him careening towards Rainbow Dash.

As Indominus got one last look at her, Rainbow said sadly. "Forgive me Indominus." Rainbow opened her mouth and released an enormous blast upon the hybrid dinosaur.

Down below, the Mane Five, CMC< Princesses and dinosaurs were horrified to see Indominus being carried away by Rainbow's blast. His painful roar could be heard across the landscape until the blast collided with the ground and blew up. The geyser of energy rocketed skyward and left everypony, especially Scootaloo in awe of its display.

"Who knew Rainbow Dash had that much power inside her, because of Indominus."

"We can marvel at it later Scootaloo, we've got to see if my brother is still alive," said Tyrannosaurus.

The group took off in the direction of the blast with the dinosaurs leading the way. They had to go through a dense forest following Indominus's scent and after a ways, the dinosaurs stopped at the edge of the trees. In a open and destroyed clearing, the group could see Indominus laying down in the dirt, with bloody marks all over him. There were far more this time than after his last rampage, and the dinosaur wasn't even budging. Twilight and the others were worried that he had been killed, they wanted to go and check but Tyrannosaurus and the raptor squad wouldn't budge.

"What's up T-Rex," said Luna. "We need to see if he's alright."

"We can't just yet Luna, because we're not alone. I can smell those wretched ponies heading this way, and Rainbow is with them."

T-Rex was right, Rainbow and the Wonderbolts were descending on the battered Indominus Rex. When they landed, the others were nervous about getting close to the wounded dinosaur, worried that he might explode and transform into the Immortal Phoenix again. Only Rainbow Dash walked forward to check on her fallen husband.

"What are you doing Crash? Get away from that thing!"

"Shut your mouth Spitfire!" The Wonderbolt's tail slashed at the ground in an agitated way after Rainbow's remark.

As Rainbow got closer, she could how heavily the battle and the Immortal Phoenix had damaged Indominus. The horrible bleeding marks told her how much physical pain he had been enduring in addition to the emotional pain of watching her being attacked and bullied by Soarin.

"Oh Indominus, you were hiding this kind of pain from me?" Just then, Indominus began to stir and Rainbow backed up to give him room.

The hybrid had serious trouble getting back on his feet, his body had been through so much that he collapsed three times before finally steadying himself. His memory was hazy after the assault and Rainbow's tremendous blast, but once he saw the marks where his claws had pierced her body, his heart broke at the sight. He turned his head away from Rainbow because he couldn't bear to see the one he loved marked by an attack he had done.

"Indominus what's wrong?"

"Rainbow Dash, I-I-I can't be around you anymore." This sent absolute dread into Rainbow's heart, he couldn't be serious.

"Y-You can't mean that, Indominus."

"I do. I'm too dangerous to be around, I destroy everything around me and kill every creature in sight." Indominus could feel his voice breaking and tears forming in his eyes. "The Wonderbolts were right: I truly am a monster. Which is why I can't be around you anymore."

Rainbow felt her heart starting to break as she watched Indominus grab his ring, remove it from his middle sickle claw and throw it in Rainbow's direction. She felt tears rolling down her face as she tried to approach Indominus, hoping that he didn't really mean leaving her for good.

"Please Indominus, you can't mean this. You mean so much to me and Scootaloo."

"I'm nothing but a monster, I don't deserve love or a family. That's why you'll be better off with the Wonderbolts, so go and take off with them," Indominus said with his head still turned away from Rainbow.

"No, I need you in my life Indominus. I can't live my life without-" Rainbow was interrupted by what Indominus did next, and it destroyed his heart.

"GET AWAY FROM ME NOW YOU STUPID PONY!!!!" He bellowed an earth shattering roar while tears were flowing down his face.

Terrified, the Wonderbolts went for the sky and Rainbow followed after she had grabbed the ring. Once she was far enough from Indominus, she looked back at him with great sadness in her eyes. Her heart was just as broken as his, for the one creature she had loved so much, had deemed himself too destructive to be part of her life.

"Goodbye, my Indominus Rex," Rainbow said sadly before catching up with the Wonderbolts.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0hfmLWi2-M

As Indominus watched Rainbow fly away with the Wonderbolts, he felt his heart breaking apart for what he had done to her. Unable to deal with the overwhelming sadness, he bellowed the saddest roar of his life. It was a cry so sad and heartbreaking that in brought the Mane Five into tears, including Applejack, who always cried on the inside. Scootaloo and the CMC buried their faces in T-Rex's because the moment was too painful for their little hearts. Even Celestia and Luna were overcome by the teary sight, especially Luna, for she had seen how much Indominus loved Rainbow and could only imagine what could've happened to result in such heartbreak.

It was such a soul-wrenching moment for the devastated hybrid dinosaur, his own actions had caused him more pain than the ones he was trying to hurt in the first place. Now Indominus could no longer be with Rainbow Dash, knowing that he would never be able to forgive himself for attacking the one pony he loved most. His cries echoed across the land, and they even got his brother and sisters to shed tears of their own. Without Rainbow, Indominus felt like he no longer had a purpose in life, and felt the only thing to do was to rot away in the spot where he stood until he died. In his shattered heart, he felt that it would be the only way to free himself from the pain he had brought upon his family.

As Rainbow faded from view in the sky, Indominus gave a tearful farewell.

"Goodbye, m-my sweet....a-and l-lovely......RAINBOW DASH!!!!!!!!!"

Difficult Choice

The sad sight was more than Tyrannosaurus and Scootaloo could bear, so they bolted out of the forest and ran over to the emotionally destroyed Indominus. T-Rex gently nuzzled his brother's battered body while Scootaloo increased her size and stroked his face to try and ease the terrible pain in his heart.

"I'm so sorry Indominus," said Scootaloo. "You didn't deserve this kind pain, the Wonderbolts drove you to this."

"But I hurt her Scootaloo, I hurt the one pony I was trying so hard to protect. Now I can't be with her or go home anymore, because I'm just too destructive and dangerous to be around." Scootaloo was hurt by the defeated tone in Indominus's voice, he couldn't just stay there and die.

"Brother, you can't wallow in this forever. What if the Wonderbolts come back to try and finish the job? What will you do then?"

"I'll let them finish me, at least that way Soarin and Shitfire will no longer hurt Rainbow Dash."

Hearing Indominus's weak response in allowing the Wonderbolts to kill him was too much for the others to take. They all ran over to the beaten hybrid dinosaur and tried to talk some sense into him.

"Darling you can't mean that! We adore having you in our lives," said Rarity.

"You're the most kind creature we've ever met," Fluttershy added.

"Ya can't just turn yer back on yer family. Scootaloo needs ya around ta be her father," Applejack said desperately.

"You are a guardian of Equestria, Indominus. You can't let yourself be killed like this and turn your back on your home," said Twilight.

"Monsters don't get a family or a home where everyone loves them. Death is the only way I'll find peace."

Scootaloo shrank back down and was close to having a breakdown after how she heard Indominus talk. She had already lost the dinosaurs once, and she would be broken if Indominus was killed. Luckily Luna draped a wing over her and pulled her close.

"Don't worry Scootaloo, I will be paying Indominus a visit in his dreams so I can keep him from giving up hope."

"D-Do you really think you can bring his spirit back, Princess Luna?"

"It won't be easy, his heart has been devastated and broken. From what it sounds like, he attacked Rainbow Dash instead of the Wonderbolts. I'll get to the root of this and try to make him realize that it wasn't his fault. All that anger he was experiencing clouded his mind and made him do it, he just needs to realize that. But fear not Scootaloo, your father's heart will mend."

"Thank you Luna," said Scootaloo as she hugged the Princess's leg.

Princess Celestia walked in front of Indominus and gently laid a wing on the dinosaur's snout, while looking into his eyes. She then spoke to him in a completely sincere and honest voice.

"Indominus, I'm asking you to not give up on life just yet. You have to remain strong, because if you give up, who will be there to care for Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo?" Indominus only lowered his eyes as the memory of his terrible action plagued his mind. "If you give up then the Wonderbolts will be free to terrorize your family, and Soarin will no doubt have his revenge against you. Are you really ok with giving up and letting your enemies walk all over you!?"

"After what I did to Rainbow Dash, what else can I do? All I do is cause pain and misery to others!"

"Right here are nine examples of your kind heart and genuine soul. They've all seen your gentle nature and how much you and your family care for Scootaloo. Would a monster have gained this kind of admiration?"

Indominus looked at the others who were all nuzzling his face while Celestia spoke.

"It's true Indominus," said Spike. "I may have thought you and your family were strange when me and Twilight first met you guys, but then we got to know you more. You've shown us that you are anything but a monster."

Indominus looked around to see each pony nodding and agreeing with Spike.

"You're the only one who's asked us to help with marrying Rainbow Dash," said Pinkie. "A monster wouldn't have gained that kind of love and admiration. We love having you around Indominus, and Rainbow would be even more devastated if you were gone."

With the kind words of his friends, Indominus thought back to all the memories he had experienced over his time in Equestria. While it was true that some ponies may not have approved of him, the Mane Six, CMC, even the Princesses and all of Ponyville loved him. He had helped save their world, had beaten the school bullies, and gained the respect and love of both in the process. He had given a filly the family she never had before, and won the heart of her surrogate sister as well.

"Alright Celestia, I won't die just yet, but I do need to spend more time reflecting on what I've done. Brother, can I ask you to take care of our family until I come back home?" Tyrannosaurus nuzzled his brother's face and they locked eyes.

"You have my word Indominus, I'll make sure our girls will be alright. I'm especially glad that you've decided to remain tough through all this. Just make sure to give Scootaloo and Rainbow Dash plenty of love when you come back, alright?"

"I promise Tyrannosaurus," said Indominus as he returned his brother's nuzzle.

The group breathed a sigh of relief, but Luna was still going to make good on her promise to visit the hybrid in his dreams. She also was concerned about what kind of pain Rainbow was going through.

Meanwhile over at the compound, Rainbow was dealing with more than just emotional pain. The formula had worn off on the Wonderbolts and they had returned to their normal sizes. They had all gathered in the locker room after their deadly confrontation with thr hybrid. In spite of everything that Indominus had done to them, they had only one thought on their minds: killing him for how he had killed three of their members. Unfortunately, Rainbow was under fire because of how she had defended Indominus at the start.

"I don't even know where to begin with you Crash. You actually defended that monster instead of helping us. He killed Blaze, Wave Chill and Fire Streak because you helped him! The Wonderbolts have been attacked for the first time in history and now three of our members are dead because of you!"

Rainbow had no response, she couldn't even look Spitfire in the eyes. She was still emotionally broken after hearing Indominus give up on himself and their happiness. His painful words had stung her heart, and almost broke her will and spirit. All she could do was stare at Indominus's ring and try to keep her emotions from getting out of control.

"Whether you respond or not, you're going to help us in killing that monster!" Rainbow's mind snapped out of her depression when she heard those words.

"That's right boss," said Soarin. "We'll be getting more of the formula soon, and the next opportunity we get, we are going to kill that monster and hang his head in the locker room. It's not just for us anymore, it's about avenging our fallen comrades and ending that monster's reign of terror! With the power he has, nothing in our world could possible stand against that form. Every pony in Equestria will be in danger." Rainbow was shocked at seeing that the other Wonderbolts were actually cheering Soarin on, and that's when it dawned on her that he had set Indominus up to take a fall.

Soarin had intentionally caused all that pain back at the performance area, knowing that Indominus would react violently and kill some of the Wonderbolts. It had all been a ploy to make Indominus look like a monster so all the Wonderbolts would want him killed. Now the rest of them wanted the hybrid dinosaur dead so Soarin could be free to torment Rainbow Dash with nopony to stop him.

"We must destroy him before he regains his strength, and anypony that tries to help him again, will be stopped for good."

"No Soarin, you can't kill him."

"We can Crash, and we will," said Spitfire. "We've been devastated by that beast because of your actions. Your choice affected us all."

"It wasn't his fault, he was only defending me because Soarin attacked me during the routine. In fact, Spitfire, all of you caused Indominus to go on the offensive!"

"We did no such thing Crash," said Fleetfoot. "He went berserk and lashed ou-"

"STOP BLAMING HIM FOR YOUR OWN STUPID CHOICES!!" The increase in Rainbow's anger actually caused part of her power to emit from her body. The other Wonderbolts scattered backwards against the walls after seeing the intimidating power. Rainbow directed her gaze at Soarin, who had anger written all over his face. "He set Indominus up, tried to kill him, and all of you agreed to this. I thought my heroes would treat my family, especially my husband, better than this."

"Then you're a fool for choosing a monster as your husband! He will die with the rest of his pitiful kind, Crash!" Misty Fly's statement caused Rainbow to glare at her, and caused her teeth to grow longer. The more anger Rainbow was feeling, the more she was beginning to transform.

With a fight on the verge of erupting, Spitfire slammed her hooves on the ground to get everypony's attention.

"ENOUGH!! We have a real enemy to hunt down and kill. That beast poses a greater danger to all of Equestria." She then began to advance towards Rainbow, while the other Wonderbolts watched with smug expressions. They knew that Spitfire was going to break Rainbow down and make her fight against Indominus. "Whether you love that monster or not, you will fight us, Crash.

Rainbow stood her ground as she met Spitfire's gaze. Her heart may have been broken, but her willpower wasn't about to falter.

"You are going to help us kill him, and then you'll swear your loyalty to us and never have anything to do with him or his kind ever again." Once those words escaped Spitfire's mouth, Rainbow began thinking about all the experiences she had shared with Indominus and the Wonderbolts.

The Wonderbolts had ridiculed her for not accepting their methods. They had harassed her, chosen reckless flyers that could've hurt her friends. Spitfire had even lied to her face multiple times, during training for the Equestria games and about the nickname that Indominus had tried so hard to remove. Soarin and the others had even threatened to ban her from their team forever, for a false accusation they were so easy to believe. In comparison, Indominus had only acted in every situation to keep Rainbow and Scootaloo safe. His every thought and action had been directed towards only one thing: protecting his girl and their family. Compared to the Wonderbolts, Indominus had been a true Guardian and a true hero.

Rainbow gave into her power, fully transforming and began forcing Spitfire back. The glowing red eyes and slit pupils from the rainbow pegasus were so similar to Indominus that Spitfire felt fear creeping into her heart again.

"I. Am. Not. Going to kill, THE ONE I LOVE!! I am the wife of Indominus Rex! I am the wife of a Guardian! Everything he has done has always been for me, he never once thought of killing anything that wasn't a threat to our family! He has proven himself to be more of a hero than you lying BASTARDS!!"

"You have the gall to call us that!? This is what you get for-" Soarin was cut off from his ranting as Rainbow punched him with enough force to send the Wonderbolt slamming into the lockers.

The force of the impact forced the lockers open and it even caused a couple jackets to fall out. Rainbow's glowing gaze drifted down to each of the jackets and her dagger eyes scanned over them. To her shock and growing rage, she found that there weren't any symbols detailing embarrassing nicknames on them. It turned out that Indominus had been right before the Immortal Phoenix had consumed him with rage: Spitfire had lied to Rainbow in regards to the nickname.

"So, it seems my husband was right about you scoundrels," Rainbow said in a deadly low voice as she advanced towards Spitfire again. "You lied to me during the Equestria Games, you lied about my nickname being good for me, and you've lied about everypony having their own!

"You're making a big deal over nothing Crash, you're really getting this ticked over something so meaningless."

"Meaningless huh?" Rainbow's anger continued to rise and it made Spitfire even more nervous. "WHAT THE HELL DO YOU KNOW OF MEANINGLESS!?" Rainbow's power grew to where the energy was starting to slice the lockers around her.

The Wonderbolts couldn't even approach Rainbow because of her rising power and fury. In her rage she slammed Spitfire against the wall and growled in her face.

"Spend all of your life tormented and ridiculed by others, let them mock and harass you for a mistake that is just so f***ing funny in their eyes! Then, TELL ME WHAT HAS MORE MEANING THAN BEING A GREAT FLYER AND INSPIRATION FOR OTHERS!? I have lived with that wretched nickname my whole life and was never able to escape it even once. After the Sonic Rainboom, I was finally able to bury that name, until you f***ing rats brought it back into my life. I was able to drown it out because I have my family to help me ignore it, especially Indominus! I have endured you ponies calling me that name because he gave me the strength to pull through, now he is broken and alone, BECAUSE OF YOU!!"

For the first time in her life, Spitfire had no response to everything she had heard. She had no idea that Rainbow had been dealing with that name her entire life, nor did she know what kind of negative impact it had on her.

"Rainbo-"

"SHUT THE F*** UP SHITFIRE!!!! I'M DONE WITH YOUR INSULTS, SELF ABSORBED ATTITUDE, AND YOUR SUPREME ARROGANCE!! I'm leaving the Wonderbolts, and this time, you won't be getting me back!" Rainbow angrily tore off the uniform with her teeth and threw it at Spitfire's hooves. "I wasn't born to follow you, or anypony else!" As a last coup de grace, Rainbow dealt a powerful punch to Spitfire's face, sending the Wonderbolt into the tile floor.

She turned to leave and the others were cowering at the sight of her angry form and the energy spewing from her body. Before she left, Rainbow had one last thing to tell her former heroes.

"I should've let Indominus kill all of you had I known this was going to happen. Or better yet, I should've let you, Soarin and Flatfoot die back at the Young Flyer's Competition. Goodbye, Shitfire!" With one last look at her former idols, Rainbow bolted out of the compound with tears flowing down her face over the decision she had made.

The Wonderbolts looked to their leader after everything they had heard and witnessed. She struggled to get back up and looked over at Soarin, who had gotten up from his own attack.

"Soarin."

"Yes boss?"

"Tell those pegasi in Cloudsdale to whip up enough formula to power in army of Wonderbolts. Because one way or another, we are going to kill that monster."

"With great pleasure Spitfire, I'll even have a special surprise waiting for him. But first, we'll need time to regain our strength before we kill him again. Also, with those wounds, he won't be going after us anytime soon."

"Fair enough, let's get some rest after all that's happened." With their spirits rattled by Indominus's rampage and Rainbow's anger, the Wonderbolts decided to get rest up before going after Indominus again.

Later that night, Rainbow was still suffering after everything that had happened. Scootaloo and T-Rex gave her plenty of comfort and tried to tell her that things would work out in the end. Unfortunately, all the support couldn't replace the gaping hole in Rainbow's heart that only Indominus could patch up. Back on the battle scared field, Indominus was still in the same position he had been in after his horrible battle. He couldn't find it in his heart to forgive himself for what he had done to Rainbow Dash. Despite his friends telling him what a kind creature he was, Indominus could not shake away the destruction and death he had willingly caused. He refused to move an inch, even to eat because he was so broken up about hurting the pony he loved so much.

"I brought all this pain upon her, I betrayed my family. Rainbow put her trust in me, and I let her down. I can never love my Dashie again, because I'm nothing but a monster."

Indominus sang a sad and sorrowful tune into the night, unaware that a certain alicorn was watching from the moon. Princess Luna took in the dinosaur's sad song, and felt her own heart sting from the sorrow in Indominus's voice.

I was the one who had it all
I was the master of my fate
I never knew that rage and hate could hurt so much
I learned the truth too late
I'll never shake away the pain
I close my eyes but she's still there
I let her steal into my cold and scaly heart
It's more than I can bear

Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she flies away
She will still torment me
Calm me, hurt me
Move me, comfort me
Wasting with my cursed power
And the pain I must endure
I'll fool myself, she'll fly right back
And stay with me for evermore

I rage against the trials of love
I curse the fading of the light
Though she's already flown so far beyond my reach
She's never out of sight

Now I know she'll never leave me
Even as she fades from view
She will still inspire me
Be the heart of everything I do
Wasting with my cursed power
And the pain I must endure
I'll fool myself, she'll walk right in
And as the painful nights begin
I'll think of all that might have been
Waiting here for evermore

Once the song was over and Indominus laid down to rest for the night, Luna drifted down to the heartbroken dinosaur. Upon seeing that Indominus was asleep, Luna laid her hoof gently on his snout.

"I'm so sorry Indominus. A kind soul like you shouldn't have to deal with such pain." The Princess conjured up a giant blanket that was colored like the night sky and laid it over Indominus's battered body. The hybrid relaxed once he felt the comfort on his body and fell into a more peaceful slumber. Luna gave Indominus a gentle kiss on the nose before saying "I'll see you in your dreams tonight, great Guardian."

As Luna flew back towards the moon, she had a determination in her heart to make the Wonderbolts suffer for the pain they had brought upon the Family of a Lifetime.

"Wonderbolt or not, nopony hurts Scootaloo's father and Rainbow's husband and gets away with it. You brought this on yourselves, Wonderbolts, and now I'm going to give you all a nightmare that will torment you until the day Indominus takes his vengeance."

Author's Notes:

Now Luna is going to take action and instill some terrible nightmares into the Wonderbolts. Now Rainbow has left them, but she's still broken up over what Indominus said to her. What do the Wonderbolts have in mind for killing Indominus? How will he and Rainbow mend their broken hearts? Only the next few chapters will tell.

Plagued By Nightmares

Author's Notes:

This chapter might be a little dark for some readers to handle, fair warning. Also, credit for the image used in this chapter goes to its original owner.

Indominus found himself in a green field lit up by sunlight, and he had no clue how he got there in the first place. He was sure that it was night when he passed out after his horrific fight with the Wonderbolts.

"I don't understand, what am I doing here? More importantly, why isn't my body marked up?" Indominus wasn't aware that he was dreaming and that his healed body was part of the dream.

He then spotted a pony in the distance that was heading towards him. He couldn't make out much on her, except for a particular rainbow colored mane that he recognized instantly.

"No, it can't be her." Indominus was in denial at first, but there was no mistaking the cyan fur, rainbow mane and tail of the pony that was heading towards him. Despite how he had hurt her before, part of him just wanted to hold Rainbow Dash in his arms again.

Blinded by the thought of holding his girl again, Indominus began running towards Rainbow Dash. The closer they got, the more Indominus just wanted to hold Rainbow and say sorry for everything that he had done to her. Just when Indominus was within arms reach of Rainbow Dash, everything turned into a nightmare. A giant column of black fire erupted under Rainbow, engulfing her and sending cold fear into Indominus's heart. Within the black flames he could see a pair of sinister, glowing red eyes staring back at him.

"So, the big shot hybrid finally sees his inner monster for the first time," said a deep and deadly voice from inside the flames.

Indominus was rooted to the spot as he watched something evil walk out of the column, completely covered in the black fire. It was bigger than Indominus himself, and looked like some sort of demonic dragon. His body was a dark shade of black, comparable to Black Death's body, only with more muscle and five curving horns behind his head like some sort of crown. This monster declared his presence to the hybrid dinosaur with a roar that caused the sky to turn black. Indominus was face to face with the living embodiment of all the rage he had created over the last twenty years: his own Devil.

"Now, don't be afraid Indominus. Beasts aren't supposed to fear, what they will become." The hybrid met the monster's gaze with his own, completely unfazed by the sinister glow.

"I don't fear anything, I'm a Guardian of my home! I've never been afraid of anything, especially someone that calls himself the Devil!" His inner Devil just gave an amused smile and laugh at the dinosaur's response.

"Oh I'm much more than you think. I was born out of your rage, your hatred towards every last living creature in existence. As I told you before, I'm your inevitable conclusion. The more rage you draw from your power will bring me closer to taking over your body and mind. This conflict with the Wonderbolts is bringing out the most pure savage anger I've felt in a long time. You may be a weak domesticated dinosaur, but you still wield the destructive brutal force of a monster."

"I'm not a monster!" Indominus lashed out at the demonic entity, but the monster just took the attack without even flinching. The hybrid watched in shock as the claw marks on the Devil's body just disappeared.

"HA! For claiming to be the strongest, you're not the smartest. You can't kill something that is part of who you are. I am part of you no matter how hard you try to deny it, and it was because of me that you killed the Wonderbolts!" The Devil made a single gesture with his hand, and Indominus saw all the devastation he had created from before.

The destroyed environment, lightning bolts raining down from the sky and the three Wonderbolts he had slaughtered.

"Now this is pure devastation, and it was all because Soarin attacked that pitiful pony you call a wife. You do fear one thing despite how you claim to be fearless: that pony's useless existence. You fear for her so much that you would destroy everything and awaken so much rage and power to do so. With this kind of proof, there's no denying that you're a real monster Indominus. Monsters always cause destruction, and you've done far worse."

"SHUT UP!!" Indominus fired a blast at his dark counterpart, who stopped it with a single hand and crushed it. He then seized Indominus by the neck and glared into his eyes.

"Ever since you awakened the power of the Immortal Phoenix, you've become more destructive than you were before. Smaug was convinced that you could master that power and become a great Guardian, yet you've only used it to destroy anything that looks at your precious Rainbow. If you don't believe me just look around and see all the havoc you've caused. See what you did to all the creatures that crossed you? At one time you were just a hybrid dinosaur, but now you've become an evil shadow creature!!"

As Indominus was forced to look around by the Devil, all the memories of every time he had used the Immortal Phoenix were displayed before him. His battle with Smaug, when he slaughtered the Ultimate Obedient Fiend, his rampage after seeing the Wonderbolts bully Rainbow Dash, and even his latest battle with them. Looking at himself from the outside, Indominus could see the brutal rage reflected in his golden form. The insane rage and hatred displayed each time and how savagely he had killed most of his victims.

"Did I really do all of this?" Indominus took notice of the rampage he had gone through. His family had stepped in to try and calm him down, yet he was savagely attacking them, trying to tear them apart. "My own brother and sisters," Indominus said as he stared into the evil red eyes of his Immortal Phoenix state. The hybrid collapsed from seeing what he had done to his family, and how he had nearly killed them. "No, what have I become?"

"You chose to give into your anger and destroy everything around you, even at the cost of hurting Rainbow Dash." The Devil focused on Indominus's fight with Rainbow Dash, after he had gotten so close to killing the Wonderbolts. "You brought this on her, when you let your rage take control and almost killed the one you had been trying so hard to protect. Only a truly dark and twisted monster would viciously attack the one he loved so much. Now look into the eyes of your precious pegasus."

Indominus saw Rainbow stare directly at him after she had been stabbed by the Immortal Phoenix. There was pure scorn and hatred in her eyes as she seemed to glare into the hybrid's soul. Indominus felt tears rolling down the side of his face from seeing the anger in his girl's eyes.

"Please forgive me for what I've done to you!" Indominus sank to the ground in complete sadness and destroyed emotionally.

The Devil laughed down at the weeping hybrid dinosaur and began to sink his claws into Indominus's body.

"You should just let me take over and destroy all that has caused you pain." The monster used his claws to begin forcing his evil essence into Indominus. He was trying to take over the hybrid's body and mind so Indominus would no longer exist.

"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM INDOMINUS, YOU DEMENTED ANIMAL!!" Both the Devil and Indominus looked up as an enormous blast of magic flowed over the monster and forced him back.

Indominus watched in shock as the painful memories began fading away and the Devil was being destroyed by the magic.

"You haven't seen the last of me Indominus. I'll be back to destroy everything! After all, you can't kill something that is part of what you are," the demon bellowed before he was destroyed by the blast. Indominus found the source of the attack walking towards him, looking extremely worried.

"Indominus, are you alright?" The hybrid was face to face with Princess Luna, and she was exactly the same height as him. Indominus was so relieved that he almost collapsed from everything he had already experienced. Luckily, Luna caught him and held the dinosaur in a much needed hug. She could feel the pain in his voice as Indominus let out his pain and sadness.

"Oh Luna, that was horrifying. I've never been traumatized like that or gone through such a turmoil before. That demon made me watch all the pain I've brought upon Equestria."

"What was that, Indominus? I've never seen such a creature since Black Death invaded Scootaloo's monster," Luna said while still hugging Indominus, trying to calm him down.

"That was all the rage I've built up over the last twenty years, and has manifested itself into a monster that intends to take over my body and destroy all that I love. He says that I will ultimately become him as long as I continue to fight the Wonderbolts and use the Immortal Phoenix." This horrified Luna deeply, knowing that a Guardian's hatred wanted to destroy everything he cared about. That included Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo.

"Indominus, I'm going to ask you something personal and I need you to answer me honestly." Luna pulled away from the hug and looked Indominus in the eyes. The hybrid dinosaur collected himself and was ready for what Luna was going to ask him. "Do you really want the Wonderbolts dead, or does the monster within you want it?"

Indominus couldn't lie to Luna, especially since he didn't know how to do it. So he came clean and answered the Princess's question.

"Yes, I've wanted to kill them ever since I saw them harassing and bullying Rainbow Dash. However, I know how much Rainbow idolizes them, and I know she would never forgive me if I did carry that out. So I've had to restrain from doing so, until the point where Soarin attacked her in front of me and I lost control entirely. I gave into my rage and killed three of them without any restraints, but despite my attempts, I actually hurt Rainbow Dash. The monster within me wanted me to kill her, but I stopped myself after I realized that I had hurt the pony I love."

Luna was touched by Indominus's response. Despite how he wanted to kill them to keep Rainbow safe, he was fighting his own urges because he was putting his girl before himself. But in the process, it was building up his rage and making his attacks and rampages more destructive. By trying to keep his anger from getting out and killing the enemies he hated, Indominus was actually making things worse for himself. Luna knew exactly how to make things better for him, and make the Wonderbolts pay even more, now that she knew they had caused Indominus to go berserk.

"Indominus, I think I have a way to make you feel better. What would you say if I told you that I could make it so you could kill the Wonderbolts, and not kill them at the same time?"

The hybrid dinosaur was confused by Luna's proposal, he didn't know what she was talking about. Seeing the puzzled look on Indominus's face, Luna clarified for him.

"What I mean is, I could mix your dream with the Wonderbolts so you could kill them in their dream, and have it haunt them in the real world."

"That does sound like a good idea, but Luna, why are you doing all of this for me? I didn't think you would want ponies to suffer like this."

"Let's just say I know what it feels like to suffer internally because of something I did that was out of hate." Indominus's eyes widened, he didn't think Luna had a tragic past like his too.

"You've felt guilt and remorse over something painful that you did to someone you care about?"

"Of course I do. I once nearly caused Equestria to suffer from eternal darkness. Once Twilight and her friends saved me from the darkness in my heart, I thought it was all over. But I tormented myself every night with a dark nightmare so I could never forgive myself over how much Equestria suffered because of me. However, it was thanks to Twilight, her friends and everypony else that I was finally able to forgive myself. That's also why I know that you and Rainbow will be back together, once you can forgive yourself."

Luna was caught off-guard as Indominus embraced her in another hug. His new world was more understanding than he thought, and the ponies were always there to help him through his pain.

"Thank you Luna."

"You're quite welcome Indominus, now let's get you into their dream to make them pay."

"I'll make sure that Soarin gets a very painful death," said Indominus as Luna lit up the dream, sending him into the dreams of the Wonderbolts.

Meanwhile, the Wonderbolts were performing an air show over Ponyville, with everypony cheering them on. In their dream, Rainbow was stuck sitting on the sidelines while they got to be the center of attention. They had no problems to deal with, no dinosaurs trying to kill them. All they had to do was showboat and look like the stars of the world. Out of nowhere, a thunderous voice echoed across the skies, causing the great flyers to freeze in panic.

"You ponies have caused a filly's family and loved ones too much pain. Now you will see what kind of justice awaits your wretched souls!"

The sky turned pitch black, the crowds of ponies from below faded, and a massive circle of fire erupted from the ground. The Wonderbolts didn't have time to process the changing dark area when their wings suddenly disappeared and they all fell to the ground.

"Spitfire, what's going on," said Fleetfoot.

"Why is everything becoming so dark and evil?"

"I-I don't know what's happening."

"This is payback for you idiots attacking and hurting an innocent couple," said the dark voice from above, which was Luna masking her voice so the Wonderbolts wouldn't recognize her. "Now, time to meet the one who will pass down your judgement."

A red column of light descended from the sky, and the Wonderbolts watched as a massive creature glided down with it. The massive beast was hard to see at first, but as the light faded, the Wonderbolts' hearts dropped at the creature that towered over them. Indominus stared down at them with a great gleam in his eyes. He was glad that Luna could make his wish a reality, and he wouldn't hurt Rainbow in the process.

"Oh no, not him," said Spitfire in terror. "He's supposed to be weak and groveling in the dirt."

"WRONG!! He will be the one to torment you monsters, after all that the pain and agony you've brought on him." Luna cast down a spell that rooted the Wonderbolts to the ground so they couldn't escape. With his victims trapped and unable to escape, Indominus had the perfect opportunity to finally ease his mind and heart of some of his rage. "Go Indominus, let them feel the pain of your heart."

Indominus charged forward and began slashing his way through each of the Wonderbolts. Tearing their bodies to pieces and spilling their blood everywhere. He was finally getting the vengeance he wanted, and could feel his inner rage being quelled with each kill. The hybrid slaughtered and dismembered the Wonderbolts until he was down to Spitfire, Soarin and Fleetfoot. He decided to have some fun tormenting the Wonderbolts that had harassed Rainbow the most.

I wanna make you broken
Come on pony time to die
I wanna rip you open
Throw my claws deep inside

Indominus pinned Fleetfoot and placed his claws on her stomach.

Let me mount you gently,
Love with a fist
Intruding front entry
You're gonna like this

(Indominus tearing out Fleetfoot's organs while singing)
I'm gonna shred you hardcore
Gonna kill you more
Ramming up the exit door
I'm gonna shred you hardcore
Stretch your body into a hall
'Til I'm getting bored

Spitfire and Soarin tried to run away, but to no avail. Indominus crushed Fleetfoot's face under his foot before giving chase and catching up to them instantly. He knocked Spitfire aside and focused his attention on Soarin, since he had wanted to inflict true pain on the bullying Wonderbolt. He knocked Soarin about before slamming him into the ground.

Ride the Hershey Highway
Tight it for the monster truck
Face down! Ass up!
Here we come, we wish you luck

Indominus pierced Soarin's eyes with his claws and towered over him as the Wonderbolt screamed.

Let me mount you harshly,
Claw in your eye
My dear Soarin
This is how you die
I'm gonna shred you hardcore

Indominus pulled Soarin's face apart with great force, sending the Wonderbolt's blood flying everywhere. Spitfire was shocked and truly mortified by the traumatic experience. Watching Soarin's blood flying over everything and seeing Indominus enjoying every moment of it was too much to handle. All she could do was run away from the gruesome carnage, towards the walls of fire. She could hear Indominus gaining on her, but she stopped when she saw six figures walk out of the fire. Indominus stopped too when he saw the six ponies standing before Spitfire.

"Oh thank goodness it's you Crash. You've gotta do something to stop this behemoth. He's gonna kill me if you do-" Spitfire was cut off as the dream Rainbow Dash smacked her across the face.

"I don't have to do anything for self-absorbed rats like you. As far as I'm concerned, you are only good to Equestria as a decaying corpse."

Spitfire stumbled back in disbelief as the Mane Six advanced towards her.

"You are a menace to this world."

"Ya don't deserve yer lives for hurtin' our Rainbow."

"You'd make a better cupcake than a Wonderbolt."

Spitfire continued to back up until she felt Indominus behind her. In one swift motion, the hybrid dinosaur picked up the Wonderbolt and slammed her into the dirt. The Mane Six joined him and they sang a demented tune together.

Let me mount you gently,
Love with a fist
Intruding rear entry
You're gonna like this

(Indominus tearing Spitfire apart while the Mane Six sing)
I'm gonna shred you hardcore
(Now kill her hardcore)
Gonna kill you more
Tearing up your door
I'm gonna shred you hardcore
(Now kill her hardcore)
Stretch your body into a hall
'Til I'm getting bored

I'm gonna shred you hardcore
(Now kill her hardcore)
Gonna kill you more
Tearing up your exit door
I'm gonna shred you hardcore

Indominus loomed over Spitfire as the others finished their tune. The Wonderbolt screamed in sheer fear as the hybrid opened his jaws and closed in on her. Thankfully all the screaming ended as Indominus silenced the Wonderbolt with a single bite that crushed her skull. Afterwards, the flames, ponies and all the blood and bodies began fading. Indominus looked up as Luna began flying into the sky.

"Thank you Luna."

"You're welcome Indominus, and remember, don't give up hope. You will be with Rainbow Dash again!"

Indominus awoke, still covered with the marks and wounds from his battle, but was glad to see the giant blanket that looked like the night sky covering his body. He looked up at the moon, smiling at the great favor Luna had given him, before pulling the blanket over himself more and going back to sleep.

Over at the compound, the Wonderbolts were all waking up in a cold sweat. Luna had made them feel every single attack Indominus had inflicted upon them. Spitfire was shaking in fear from being crushed by Indominus's mouth, and Soarin was checking his face to make sure that he was still in one piece. They had all been traumatized and had their spirits shaken by a single nightmare, that had been created.

From outside, Luna marveled at hearing the nervous whispers and horrified shock rubbish coming from the Wonderbolts.

"Maybe that'll convince you ponies to not mess with the Guardians of Equestria," Luna said to herself before disappearing into the moon.

The Wonderbolts may have been scared, traumatized and killed within a nightmare, but it wasn't enough to deter Soarin from carrying out his vendetta against Indominus. Indominus was going to face the Wonderbolts again, and this time, he would have much more to worry about than just saving Rainbow Dash.

Ancient Wisdom

Author's Notes:

A bit of a long chapter, but plenty of important detail on the path that will be set for Indominus. Prepare to have your minds blown readers.

After Indominus's confrontation with the Wonderbolts, it didn't take long for word to get around. All of Ponyville was abuzz with word from the spectators that had watched the whole thing unfold. They had witnessed Indominus attacking the Wonderbolts, but added that Soarin was the one who had provoked the dinosaur in the first place. A few lucky ponies had seen him set Rainbow Dash up and cause her to crash into everything that caused Indominus to act on instinct. As a result, every citizen in Ponyville had a strong distaste for the Wonderbolts, and wanted to see if Indominus was ok.

The hybrid dinosaur remained in the same spot for a whole week without budging, even to satisfy his hunger. The ponies that heard of the pain he had endured visited him to give their support and comfort to Indominus, but his heart was still hurt from what he had done to Rainbow. Despite the citizens and their fillies telling him not to lose hope in himself, Indominus couldn't shake away the memory of how he had viciously attacked his Dashie. Seeing the pony he loved so much being impaled by his claws was too painful to shake out of his head.

The Crusaders made sure to check on Indominus after they had helped a certain number of fillies for the day. Tyrannosaurus and the raptors made sure to bring plenty of meat to Indominus while Scootaloo tried to warm his heart.

"How are you doing, Indominus?"

"I've been better Scootaloo," Indominus said while devouring a Manticore. "Are things going ok at home?"

"Rainbow really misses you, she's always so sad at night because she can't hold you. We've been trying our best, but nothing can cheer her up for long."

"It's true Indominus," said Charlie. "She really wants you to come back."

"We all do brother, how much longer are you going to stay here?"

"Until I can forgive myself for the pain I've brought on her." Scootaloo and the other crusaders nuzzled against Indominus.

"Just don't make it too long, I miss having my dad around."

"You're not a monster in our eyes, Indominus," said Sweetie Belle.

"We've always considered ya a wonderful to be around, ever since Scootaloo introduced us to ya on that day against the Timberwolves," Applebloom added.

While Indominus may have been dealing with his pain more easily, Rainbow Dash did not have the same luck. She had lost both her dream of being a Wonderbolt, and the one dinosaur that she loved so much. Her heart had been devastated just as badly as Indominus', and there seemed to be no way to brighten her spirit. She had seen her personal heroes for what they truly were, and it had destroyed all her belief in them after they talked about killing Indominus.

Whenever she was seen around Ponyville, it looked like all the joy had been drained out of her face. Her friends did their best and tried everything they could think of to cheer her up, but Rainbow's broken heart couldn't be mended so easily. All she could think about was the broken look on Indominus's face after the confrontation, and the horrible words he had bellowed at her. It truly was a sad time for the pegasus who had found love that seemed impossible, only to have it taken away. The only comfort that gave her any kind of hope was from Scootaloo and the dinosaurs.

Every night Scootaloo and the dinosaurs did what they could to cheer Rainbow up.

"You've got to have faith Rainbow, Indominus will come back to you."

"No he won't Scootaloo, that fight destroyed him and now he wants nothing to do with me."

"Rainbow Dash, Indominus would never turn his back on you," said Tyrannosaurus. "I've known him for so long, and believe me when I say that he cares about you too much to just give up."

"It's true Rainbow," said Blue as she and her girls crawled onto the bed and laid beside Rainbow. "We've seen how much Indominus loves you, and how he would do anything for you."

"It's not your fault or his, those Wonderbolts brought him to that state," said Echo. "He never would've done all that if Soarin hadn't provoked him."

Delta added, "Don't ever blame yourself for what happened, it was beyond your control." Rainbow only laid her head down his depressed eyes. Seeing this, Scootaloo snuggled closer to her sister and the two siblings held each other.

"Tell me something Rainbow, why did you fight him in the first place?"

"Because, I only wanted to stop his rampage before he hurt himself or worse, got killed by his own power."

"See, you only did what you thought was right. In the end, you did save his life, again," said Charlie. "So please, just have faith in him. You two will be together again Rainbow, and until then, we'll be here for you like we promised."

The dinosaurs all nuzzled Rainbow Dash and it actually brought a smile and some laughs from her. Scootaloo looked at her sister from the family nuzzle.

"Feeling better Rainbow Dash?"

"Yeah, I do feel better Scootaloo. Thanks you guys, I don't know what I'd do without you, or....him."

"Just remember Rainbow Dash," said Tyrannosaurus. "You will always be in our hearts, and especially Indominus's." With the love of her family surrounding her, Rainbow could handle her pain rather well too.

However, neither Rainbow or Indominus could've foreseen the event that would set in motion a whole new chain of events. A couple of nights after Indominus's week of remaining with his wounds, Soarin and the Wonderbolts were out on the runway, waiting for their next shipment of formula. With Celestia and her troops locking down their compound, they weren't allowed to leave after she and Luna had witnessed Indominus's fight with the Wonderbolts. All of their shows had been cancelled and the Wonderbolts were confined to their little island until the matter between them and Indominus was settled. Unfortunately, Celestia couldn't keep them receiving supplies, among them were enough formulas to indeed power an entire army of Wonderbolts. Most of Equestria still held them in high respect, so Celestia couldn't have them monitored by her troops.

A group of pegasi in white coats touched down on the runway with a handful of crates, Soarin and Spitfire approached with gleeful looks in their eyes.

"Is there enough for every Wonderbolt?"

"Yes, as you requested Spitfire, and plenty of spares in case you want to give more pegasi a fighting chance."

"Is the special formula that I requested in this batch?"

"Of course Soarin, here it is." One pegasus reached inside a crate, and pulled out a formula that was glowing with a sinister red color. The Wonderbolts looked upon the special bottle in awe and Soarin took it in his hooves to admire the glow. "But I have to warn you Soarin, taking this formula could be a big mistake."

"Why do you say that?"

"When we analyzed the skin sample you had given us, we found that the monster is composed of the DNA of multiple animals. We had to unravel the very nature of his DNA to make it compatible with the formula. But with the unknown possibilities of what this could do, there's no telling what could happen."

"In short," Soarin said flatly.

"The bottom line is, we're not sure what this could do to you Soarin. The mixture of the formula with that beast's DNA could make you into, an abomination." This caught the other Wonderbolts off guard.

"Soarin, just what are you planning to do," said Spitfire.

"I'm going to take this formula and destroy that beast with his own power."

"Are you crazy? That stuff could make you into a monster," said Fleetfoot.

"You might lose control and destroy everything, including us," said Misty Fly.

"That monster nearly killed us, and that golden power he used was so destructive. If this formula contains his DNA, then there's a chance that the power he used will be part of the mixture too. If so, then I'll use that same power to crush his soul once and for all!"

The Wonderbolts stood stunned at Soarin's declaration, he was willing to become a monster to beat Indominus. But after seeing how destructive the hybrid had been, Soarin was determined to use the best methods to take Indominus down.

"In that case, you better not waste a drop of that formula," said Spitfire.

"Which is why I'm going to save it for the right opportunity to take out that beast for what he did to our teammates, but first, I think I'll pay him a little visit tonight," Soarin said as he took one of the formulas from the crate and gulped it down. "Make sure those formulas get put somewhere safe, ok Boss?"

"You got it Soarin," Spitfire called out as Soarin began to grow in size and flew off towards where Indominus was.

Meanwhile, Indominus was sleeping soundly with the massive night blanket Luna had made for him. His wounds were healing slowly, but he was steadily getting his strength back. The dream he was having was a rather peaceful one, just chatting with Luna in a serene landscape to give him more reason to not give up. After she had given him his revenge against the Wonderbolts in a dream, Indominus had managed to quell most of his inner rage.

"I can't thank you enough for actually helping take the edge off my anger, Luna," said Indominus.

"I'm glad to help you Indominus, it's a shame I can't help your body heal faster."

"It'll get better in time, but I still don't have the heart to see Rainbow again."

"You can't stay away from her forever Indominus, she needs you in her life. Besides you still have Scootaloo to think about, and I'm sure she doesn't want to constantly worry about her father."

Indominus was thinking about what Luna said when suddenly a riff of dark energy appeared out of nowhere between them. The dream began to contort and turn into a chaotic landscape, and Luna was shocked to see what was happening. Indominus felt himself being dragged away from Luna as the dream got worse.

"Luna, what's going on!?"

"Something must be happening to you in the real world!! INDOMINUS!!!" Luna disappeared from view as Indominus was pulled into darkness.

He awoke to find his body being tossed across the land and skidding to a stop. Once Indominus got his bearings, he was surprised to see Soarin in the distance with a dark look in his eyes.

"A beast like you doesn't deserve luxury from the Princesses. I don't think you've suffered enough beast, and I doubt that you have the strength to stand against me."

Indominus struggled to stand back on his feet, his body slightly trembling from not being fully healed. He knew that he couldn't transform into the Immortal Phoenix again, or he would surely destroy himself. His body didn't even have the energy to transform into the Guardian state, so Indominus would have to rely on his own skills and strength.

"You really think that you can beat me in that pitiful state? Well let's find out!" Soarin charged towards the weakened dinosaur, and Indominus countered with a head uppercut.

The massive Wonderbolt was barely fazed by the blow as he charged back again and rammed Indominus from the side. Indominus was sent tumbling and before he knew it, Soarin nailed a fast punch across his face. The attack forced the hybrid back onto his feet and Indominus managed to keep himself from falling over by going on all fours. He was already panting from the attacks as he struggled to gather energy in his mouth. Soarin saw the attack and punched Indominus right in the gut before he could gather more power.

Indominus felt his body freeze from the attack and his heart ache when Soarin said a cold and cruel taunt.

"Rainbow would be better off if you had just died during that fight. Now I'm going to kill you here, and you'll be leaving her as a widow."

Angered at Soarin's cruel words, Indominus clamped his claws on Soarin's hide, holding the Wonderbolt in place. He gathered more energy in his mouth for another blast, at such a close range, Soarin would receive a great deal of damage from the attack. But as Indominus opened his mouth, blistering pain was sent throughout his body and only a small puff of energy came out. His body was too beaten and weak to fight. Soarin just laughed at the hybrid's failed attempt and delivered another punch to the gut, and followed up with a roundhouse kick to the head.

As Indominus came to a stop in the dirt, he could hear the Devil taunting him within his mind.

"You're too weak to beat even one Wonderbolt. You have only two choices: either let me take over or kill him with the Immortal Phoenix."

"No, I won't give in to you," Indominus said as he struggled to stand up.

"Admit it weak hybrid, you can't do anything without becoming a savage monster. Give into your rage and slaughter him."

"No!! NEVER!!!!" Indominus roared as loud as he could into the sky, defying the monster in his mind.

Soarin only took Indominus's roar as some insane attempt to look strong. He charged again, only this time Indominus actually caught his hooves and smacked him with his head. The blow only enraged Soarin and he came back at Indominus with faster blows, and the hybrid trying with all his vaunted strength to block each attack.

"I don't know where you keep getting this strength from, but I'm not going to have you make a fool out of me again!"

Soarin nailed a headbutt on Indominus and it briefly broke the dinosaur's concentration. With a small window of opportunity, Soarin began throwing as many punches as he could to Indominus's face. The hybrid couldn't react and respond to Soarin's attacks and was too battered to counterattack. Seeing that he finally had the upper hand, Soarin punched Indominus hard enough to smash him into the dirt.

"Time to put you out of your misery monster. I've enjoyed beating you for all the pain that you brought upon our team. I'll be sure to give your regards to Rainbow Crash, when I drag your dead body to her home."

Soarin was so caught up in himself that he failed to hear a set of wings flapping at a fast pace. The beats got louder as Soarin loomed over Indominus with a hoof hovering above the dinosaur's vulnerable neck. He was about to stomp on Indominus's throat when a loud and powerful voice bellowed out.

"GET YOUR FUCKING HOOVES OFF INDOMINUS YOU MANIACAL PSYCHO!!!" Soarin turned his head too late to see a giant pair of clawed feet slam into his face with enough force to send him flying away from Indominus.

Indominus looked up despite his head ringing from the relentless assault, and was shocked when he recognized the serpent-like neck, the jewel covered chest and the golden eyes staring down at him.

"S-Smaug....what are you doing here?"

"Just sit tight Indominus, let me handle this crazy pony and then I'll tend to your wounds." Indominus watched as Smaug walked forward and charged towards Soarin.

The Wonderbolt could barely get his bearings after Smaug's sneak attack and only just managed to dodge one of Smaug's punches. However, he didn't have time to block or evade the Dragon Lord's next blow which was strong enough to stun him.

"You have a lot of nerve to attack my most promising prodigy! Now I see why Indominus trashed your compound, you and your kind are nothing but bullies and lying dogs."

Being taunted by Indominus was bad enough, but being taunted by a dragon was more than Soarin could stand. In anger he barreled towards Smaug and dealt a punch to the chest, only to recoil in pain with puncture marks on his hoof.

"Not the sharpest tool in the box, are you?" Smaug clamped down behind Soarin's head and began shaking the Wonderbolt wildly in his jaws.

Soarin was caught at the perfect angle, he couldn't strike Smaug and his size played against him. He couldn't do anything to break out of the dragon's mouth. Smaug started flinging Soarin around then threw him into the sky and followed up with a torrent of fire that carried him deep into the night sky. By the time the flames ended, Soarin had collapsed on some clouds and was steaming from the blast, too thrashed to go back. He decided to wait until Smaug left and then he would decide if he wanted to finish Indominus off.

With the immediate threat gone, Smaug turned his attention to his weakened prodigy. Upon seeing the slightly healed marks on the hybrid's body, Smaug had a good idea of what had happened to Indominus.

"You used the Immortal Phoenix for too long this time Indominus. It's no wonder you couldn't fight back."

Indominus looked away from his mentor in shame, he knew that when Smaug heard the reason for those wounds, he would be disappointed in him. Smaug noticed the disheartened look in Indominus's eyes, and couldn't understand why.

"Indominus, what's wrong?"

"I did something horrible to earn those wounds Smaug, I lost control and.....I hurt her." Hearing Indominus's voice beginning to crack told Smaug that this was more serious than the last time.

"There Indominus, settle down. We'll set it right. First let me tend to your wounds." Smaug opened up one of his hands and laid down a massive handful of jewels.

Indominus watched as Smaug suddenly blew his flame upon the gems and melted them into a combined liquid.

"When gems are melted down, they can have healing properties. This will help your wounds heal more." Smaug took the melted mixture in his hands and began placing it on the most serious wounds.

Having the mixture on his open wounds stung a little, but Indominus instantly felt his body relaxing. Then he noticed Smaug sitting beside him and draping a wing over his body like a blanket. The dragon lord had the most concerned and sincere eyes staring down at the hybrid dinosaur.

"You're not angry with me?"

"Why would I be angry with you when I can see that you've been through so much recently? I'm here as a guardian for you Indominus, not a mentor. I'd like to know what happened to you and help make it better. Now please, tell me everything."

So Indominus began telling his guardian everything that happened to him over a week ago, and Smaug didn't utter a single word the whole time. He hung onto every word Indominus said, especially when Indominus mentioned the last thing he heard before losing himself to his rage was the Devil speaking to him.

"All I remember was that monster saying, "We'll destroy everything until there's nothing but a world of bleeding corpses. I'm your inevitable conclusion. I'm the ultimate you. I'M THE DEVIL!!" The next thing I know, I had attacked and hurt Rainbow Dash. I had intentionally attacked her and almost killed her. After that I couldn't be around her because I'm too destructive to be around."

Smaug was stunned by everything that he had heard, the situation was far worse than he had imagined. Indominus actually had a inner demon within his mind that thrived on the rage and power of the Immortal Phoenix, and was trying to seize control of the hybrid's body and soul.

"I'm so sorry that all of this happened to you Indominus. I've never once heard anything like this, and can you be certain this "Devil" is real?"

"Trust me Smaug, he's as real as the Immortal Phoenix is."

"This is beyond my knowledge and out of my hands Indominus. The way I see it, there is only one who can help you find the answers you're looking for. A dragon that was worshiped by all and was looked up to by every creature, not just dragons."

"What is he called?"

"The Winged Dragon of Ra." From how Smaug spoke the dragon's name, Indominus could tell there was power behind this dragon as if he was legendary. "I know the only way to contact him, since he left Equestria many years ago, and I can take you to him for the answers you seek."

"Alright Smaug, let's go." Despite his weakened body, Indominus managed to get back up on his legs. Smaug had to commend the hybrid for his perseverance and not giving up on himself.

The dragon lord began leading the hybrid dinosaur towards the forests, unaware that a certain somepony had overheard them, and was going to get a third guest to come along.

Back at the cloud home, Rainbow was having a tough night. In her dreams, she was witnessing Indominus being tormented by the Wonderbolts and beaten to death. She wanted to go and help him, but she found herself restrained by Spitfire and Fleetfoot, who had enough strength to hold Rainbow down.

"So much for your great husband. Now he'll die and drown in Tartarus, because of you Rainbow Crash."

Rainbow felt her eyes flooding over with tears as she watched the other Wonderbolts punch Indominus over and over in the face and spill blood. Hearing her husband crying out in agony and being helpless to save him filled Rainbow with so much grief. She could only lower her head in defeat as the torment continued.

"I'm so sorry Indominus." The dream would've continued like that, if it hadn't been intervened by a certain princess.

"THIS MADNESS ENDS NOW!!!" A blast erupted from the sky and began enveloping everything around Rainbow Dash.

Indominus and the Wonderbolts disappeared into the light, and in their place stood Luna, who walked towards Rainbow. She felt so relieved that all the torment she had been watching was just a dream.

"Luna, I-I thought he was going to die."

"Fear not Rainbow, Indominus is still alive. I've visited him a few times in the last week, and he is heart-broken without you."

"Why would he miss me when he gave up on our marriage and wants nothing to do with me," Rainbow said in a depressed tone as she recalled what Indominus had bellowed at her.

"Wants nothing to do with you? That's crazy, and not true. I've seen how much you love him and in turn, how much he absolutely adores you. Do you think the dance you two shared on your honeymoon meant nothing to him? He looked so at peace and in love holding you in his embrace."

"You saw us dancing on our first night?"

"I wanted to make the moment more special for you and him. What I mean is, I've seen how much Indominus cares for you and the distance he was willing to go to keep you safe. What I need to understand is what happened during that incident to make Indominus say all that to you."

Rainbow took a deep breath and then told Luna all the events she had seen from a first hand perspective.

"The Wonderbolts tried to attack me and Indominus intervened to stop them. They had somehow gotten a formula that made them bigger and strong enough to fight him, and in the midst of the conflict, Soarin punched me and it triggered the rage within Indominus. It caused him to violently transform into the Immortal Phoenix, kill three of the Wonderbolts, beat the rest of them into the dirt and cripple them on their own runway. He was going to kill all of them because his rage had gone out of control, and I had to stop him before he caused anymore damage, or died from his own power."

Luna held onto every detail and began comparing what she was hearing with what Indominus had told her before. She was slowly getting a picture of what had happened on the runway and how the battle between Rainbow and Indominus had gone. There was just one detail that Luna needed: how Indominus had hurt Rainbow in the first place.

"I was able to fight Indominus to a standstill, until Spitfire foolishly decided to watch the battle more closely. Indominus had her pinned and was going to kill her, and the only thing I could do was take the blow. I passed out after that attack, but the next thing I remember was Indominus looking so horrified at me and getting assaulted by the Wonderbolts. I trust you know what happened afterwards."

At last, Luna finally had a full picture of what had caused Indominus so much pain.

"His rage took over and made him think that you were one of the Wonderbolts. Once he realized what he had done to you, it brought back his awareness and he feels guilt and regret over hurting you. So the only way that he could make things right in his devastated mind, was to cut his bond with you so you wouldn't be hurt anymore."

"How can you be so sure Luna?"

"If you don't believe me Rainbow Dash, then let me show you what Indominus told me that very same night."

Luna pulled up a projection of the night she had stopped the Devil from attacking him, and she chose the moment where she had asked Indominus the important question. Rainbow could see the pain in Indominus's eyes as he gave his answer to Luna, but felt her heart lift when Indominus gave his reason too.

"Yes, I've wanted to kill them ever since I saw them harassing and bullying Rainbow Dash. However, I know how much Rainbow idolizes them, and I know she would never forgive me if I did carry that out." Seeing the hopeful look in Rainbow's eyes told Luna that she wanted to be near her husband again.

"Rainbow Dash, you must go to Indominus and make things right with him. You two love each other too much to let the Wonderbolts tear it apart. But you must hurry, he is heading to an unknown location with the dragon lord and you need to find him before they vanish."

Luna showed another projection with where Indominus was, and he was beginning to follow Smaug into the forest. Rainbow knew how to get that location and bid Luna farewell as the dream started fading. Luna called out one last piece of advice.

"Whatever happens Rainbow Dash, DON'T ABANDON INDOMINUS!!"

Rainbow awoke in her bed, startled at everything she had heard. She knew that Luna was right, and the only way for Indominus to forgive himself, was for them to rekindle their bond. She got up from the bed and it caused Scootaloo and T-Rex to slightly stir from their sleep.

"Rainbow? What's going on," Scootaloo asked in a sleepy, groggy voice.

"Shh, it's nothing to worry about Scootaloo. Just go back to sleep." Rainbow gently stroked Scootaloo's mane until she fell asleep again. Then she turned her attention to T-Rex. "Keep an eye on her until I come back, alright T-Rex?"

"I will Rainbow. You go and get Indominus back."

"H-How did you-"

"You don't have to be smart to know that your dream has to do with our brother. Go Rainbow, and get you husband back." Rainbow nuzzled Tyrannosaurus and grabbed an important object from her dresses before she took off out the window at top speed, heading for Indominus's location.

It took Rainbow only a matter of minutes to arrive at the spot Indominus had been for so long. As she scanned the area for any sign of Indominus, she spotted him and Smaug heading into a thick and dark forest. Rainbow dove after them and tried to gain as much ground as she could. She had touched down right when Indominus's tail disappeared inside the forest and ran in after him. Rainbow increased her size to match Indominus's pace and charged into the unknown after her husband.

"I'm not going to lose sight of you Indominus," Rainbow thought to herself as she ran to keep pace with the carnivores.

Smaug was leading Indominus through a long, strange path, and the hybrid had no idea where they were going. It was far different than anything he had run across in the Everfree Forest, the only traces of light were the small cracks of moonlight that managed to make their way through the trees. Rainbow was having a tough time keeping up with them, the strange path was so new to her that she feared one wrong step would get her lost in the forest. But she wasn't going to lose Indominus, and that determined desire to be with him allowed her to continue down the dark path.

Rainbow suddenly had to temporarily take flight to avoid alerting Indominus and Smaug of her presence as the carnivores came to a halt. She noticed ahead of them that there was brighter moonlight, indicating that they had reached the end of the forest. She gently touched down as she heard Smaug talk to Indominus.

"This is it Indominus, ahead of you is where you can contact and speak to the Winged Dragon of Ra. But I warn you, you mustn't have any evil in your heart. Ra doesn't take well to any selfish and wicked creatures that try with him. You must hold this dragon in the highest level of respect because if he deems you not worth his time, he could kill you. I've heard of unfortunate dragons that were disintegrated by Ra for even attempting to get smart and believe they were above Ra."

"I understand Smaug, I will hold this dragon in the best regards. All I want is to hope that he can tell me how to be rid of my rage and the Devil in my mind."

"Go out there and say that as if you were talking to him, and see if it impresses Ra enough to greet you."

Indominus walked out of the forest and was surprised to see an enormous shining lake in front of him. Not only that, but the environment was so distant from Ponyville, like nopony had ever set foot in the area for years. It was the perfect way to speak with a creature that had such high respect. The hybrid walked over to the lake and stared into the water, wondering what to say that would get Ra to appear. As he thought of what to say, Indominus thought about what he had done to Rainbow Dash and he did say one thing that tugged at her heart from within the trees.

"I wish that Rainbow could be here with me. I'd want her to know that I'm sorry for all that I've done. All I wanted was to keep her safe and in the process, I hurt and almost killed her. I'm so, so sorry Rainbow. I'm sorry for all the pain I brought on you."

Rainbow felt tears rolling down her face and slowly walked out of the forest towards Indominus. She couldn't just ignore him in such an emotional moment, and walked right past Smaug, who was too shocked to speak upon seeing that she had followed them the whole way. He didn't know what was going to happen with both Indominus and Rainbow there, he only hoped that the Winged Dragon wouldn't be angry with them if he appeared. Rainbow sat down beside her husband, who was still staring into the water and spoke to him.

"I, I heard you, and I'm sorry too."

"Dashie, you have nothing to be sorry about. This is my fault, simple as that. I'm the one who lost my mind and looked like a mindless monster in front of everyone."

"No, not to me you didn't. You only did what you thought was right. I'm sorry that you had to experience all that rage and pain because of the Wonderbolts. Had I known they were going to do all that I would've helped you a lot sooner. I'm also sorry that I couldn't stop your rage and take away your pain."

Indominus looked at Rainbow in shock, she was being completely honest with him and telling the absolute truth.

"Y-You really mean that?"

"Yes I do, and I have something to ask you." Indominus stared into Rainbow's eyes as she asked her question. "Indominus, do....do you still love me?"

Indominus felt his body and mind being overwhelmed as tears rolled down his face as he held Rainbow Dash close. The two lovers let the tears roll down their faces as they just held one another.

"Dashie, I've always loved you. I still love you no matter what. Not even a fight like ours could ever change that." As Indominus held Rainbow, their tears fell into the lake.

After their tears made contact with the water, strange things began happening around them. The sky started becoming darker with black clouds that were forming from out of nowhere. Smaug couldn't believe what was happening as golden streams of light pierced the clouds and illuminated the area. Indominus and Rainbow looked into the sky as a giant golden orb formed in the sky and began to glow. As the orb grew bigger, its light illuminated everything around the lovers, blinding them both. As Indominus tried to see through the blinding light, he saw a giant pair of red eyes staring at him and Rainbow.

From the sheer size of the red eyes, Indominus knew that the creature before them was definitely a grand beast. He noticed enormous golden wings forming along with the outline of a massive golden dragon. Rainbow and Indominus stood transfixed as the creature before them began to take shape. Then the dragon bellowed a thunderous roar that caused all the light to explode and disappear from view. When the lovers could see again, they were rendered breathless at the dragon that stood before them.

He easily towered over Indominus and Rainbow with a body that shined like blazing gold. His wings were even bigger than Smaug's and had the most unique design Indominus had ever seen. The dragon's whole body looked like a cross between a unique form of machinery and a divine dragon. There was no doubt who the great creature was that stood before the couple now. Rainbow and Indominus were face to face with the greatest and most powerful dragon in history: The Winged Dragon of Ra.
.

"You...you're the Winged Dragon of Ra, aren't you?" Indominus felt his whole body shudder when the dragon responded in a powerful and strong voice that had a godlike feeling behind it.

"Yes I am. It is so nice to finally meet you face to face, Indominus Rex." Their eyes shrunk at Ra's response, especially Smaug's. None of them thought that such a great dragon knew about Indominus.

"H-How do you know my name?"

"Princess Luna wasn't the only one to keep an eye on you and your family since you were brought into Equestria. I've seen the potential and power within you Indominus, especially when you first transformed into the Immortal Phoenix. I know because I was the one to create that power in the first place."

Ra bathed himself in golden fire and the lovers were stunned to see him transform into a giant flaming phoenix. Immediately Indominus felt the golden fire emerging from within his own body and watched as it covered him like it had a mind of its own. Once he had transformed completely, Rainbow could see the differences between them. Indominus almost looked exactly like Ra, except for the fact that Indominus was a dinosaur compared to Ra being a dragon. But there was no denying where Indominus had received his power from.

"Truly remarkable to see someone else have my power and being able to control over it. Only a select few can awaken this power, but not everyone can control it. You've done well to control this power so far, until a week ago when you lost control Indominus. You lost control of your rage and attacked the one pony you love most. What I want to know is, why did you lose control?" Ra transformed back to normal and so did Indominus, who proceeded to answer the dragon god's question.

"Seeing the Wonderbolts attacking her right in front of me was too much for me to handle. I, I gave into my rage and I listened to a demon that now dwells in my mind."

"What!?"

"It's true, using the Immortal Phoenix in that state of mind caused all the rage in my heart to manifest itself into a Devil that now wants to take control of me and destroy everything." Rainbow hugged Indominus softly after hearing the real reason behind his uncontrollable rampage.

"Oh Indominus, I can'r believe this is happening to you. I didn't realize you were dealing with that much rage and pain." Ra only admired the comforting moment before speaking.

"You've found yourself a true soulmate Indominus. She really is the Element of Loyalty." Rainbow felt herself blushing from Ra's compliment. Being praised by a god was a whole new level of awe. "She can even help you get through this ordeal, but only if you keep her close. Let her help you, and you can be free of the Devil that plagues your mind."

"But Ra, I gave into my rage before and hurt her. I don't know what'll happen if he takes over again."

"Good and evil will always be at war within you Indominus, but you can beat the demon inside yourself. You have to look past all your rage and focus on what truly matters. In the past, you've only used the Immortal Phoenix to destroy those that tried to hurt your family. You've always had Rainbow in your heart and that helped you control your rage. Use that as your weapon when you fight the Devil inside yourself. Once you've done that and beaten this monster, you will have the power to bring down the Wonderbolts once and for all."

"How can you be so sure Ra?"

"Because Rainbow Dash, your husband has the spirit to beat the evil in his heart. Look inside yourself Indominus, you are more than what you have become. You must conquer the Devil in your heart to master the Immortal Phoenix and beat the Wonderbolts."

"How can I possibly do that? He'll just take over and consume me."

"Remember who you are, you are a caring dinosaur and a guardian of Equestria. Remember, who you are," those were Ra's last words as the light enveloped his body and he disappeared from the area.

"I will Ra, I promise I will," Indominus bellowed out before the light faded and everything returned to normal.

Smaug walked out of the forest completely amazed. He had never seen Ra give such advice and wisdom to someone before.

"That was incredible Indominus, you and Rainbow are something else. Never have I seen Ra show that much compassion and concern for another."

"It's thanks to you Smaug, for bringing me here in the first place."

"Oh it's not just me Indominus, your girl had a huge hand in this as well." Smaug looked at Rainbow, who was blushing from the compliment. "You did the right thing to follow us Rainbow Dash, and if I'm not mistaken, I believe that there is still something you want to say to Indominus. So I'll leave you two for the night, just follow the path back and you'll get back to Ponyville easily." Smaug took off for the dragon lands, leaving the two lovers alone.

Now that he was finally alone with his girl, Indominus wasn't sure what to do. He still had some doubt in his heart on whether you would take him back.

"Rainbow, I'll always love you, but I bet that you don't want to stay near some monster like me."

"What are you talking about? I never once thought to leave you."

"You mean you don't hate me for what I did to you?"

"I could never hate someone who loves me so much and goes to such lengths for me. I only fought you because I wanted to save you from your anger," Rainbow said as she revealed Indominus's ring from under her wing and gently placed it back on his middle sickle claw. "You said that you would always love me with all your heart and soul, and I have never stopped loving you with all of mine."

Indominus felt his heart being lifted by Rainbow's kind words, but what she did next erased any doubt he had left.

"If I didn't love you Indominus, would I do this?"

The hybrid dinosaur was caught off guard as Rainbow surprised him with a hot kiss. Indominus slowly closed his eyes as he welcomed the bliss and love he had missed. As they kissed, a golden aura surged around them and it instantly healed all of Indominus's wounds, making him good as new. The lovers separated as the golden aura finished healing Indominus, and stared lovingly into each other's eyes.

"I will never leave you Indominus, so promise me that you won't think like that ever again, ok?"

"I promise Rainbow Dash," Indominus said happily as he and Rainbow snuggled together and nuzzled each other with their heads. "I'd really like to come back home, if that's ok with you."

"Of course Indominus, I've missed having you sleeping beside me," Rainbow said as they went back into the forest.

Now Indominus had an idea of how he could free himself of the Devil that lived inside him, and he had received true wisdom from the Winged Dragon of Ra. But most importantly, he and Rainbow Dash were together again. She loved him despite his destructive power and had sworn her complete loyalty to him. The conflict with the Wonderbolts was going to resume regardless, but with his family and his girl with him, Indominus could handle any challenge that came his way.

Payback

As they made their way back through the forest after receiving Ra's wisdom, Rainbow couldn't keep her eyes off of Indominus. Despite the fact that he was using his Guardian power to light the way for them, Rainbow was amazed by all she had heard. Indominus had been putting her before himself the whole time, even when he had been tormenting the Wonderbolts. Even though he wanted to kill them, he restrained himself all because he knew what Rainbow Dash would think. Hearing that reason from both Ra and Princess Luna made Indominus seem so much more stronger and more admirable in Rainbow's eyes.

"Indominus, thank you for not forgetting me."

"How could I forget you Rainbow? Especially after I hurt you with the Immortal Phoenix." Indominus was starting to turn his head away from her as he recalled that horrible incident, but Rainbow pulled his head towards her so he was looking into her eyes.

"That wasn't your fault Indominus, and I don't want to hear you blame yourself again. Now that I know the truth behind that rampage, I want to help you get through this. Ra told you that keeping me close will help you in this struggle, and that's what I intend to do." Rainbow kissed Indominus on the side of the face and stared lovingly into his eyes. "We're one body and soul after all of our times of mating, and I'm not going to let some Devil or the Wonderbolts take you away. I will help you through this and together we will beat the anger in your heart."

Indominus felt so touched by Rainbow's determination to help him. He leaned forward and gently kissed her nose, which caused Rainbow to blush.

"I'm so lucky to have a great and amazing pegasus like you as my soulmate."

"I'm more lucky to have a gentle hybrid that treats me so well, and has a true heart of gold," Rainbow said as she nuzzled Indominus for his cute display of affection. The lovers continued down the path after their lovely moment.

As the forest became more bright, Indominus returned to normal so as to not use up anymore energy. They could see the entrance to where they had entered the forest, which meant they were getting close to familiar territory. The lovers were about to exit the forest when Indominus stopped Rainbow right before the last row of trees. She could see an alert look in his eyes and he was scanning the night sky as if searching for an attack from above.

"What's going on Indominus?"

"Shhh. Quiet Rainbow," Indominus whispered. "He's still in the area waiting for me."

"Who's still here?"

"Soarin. Before you got here, he ambushed me while I was still weak and tried to kill me. Luckily Smaug showed up or he might've gotten me for good. I know that Smaug sent him away, but he's up there in the clouds just waiting for me to walk out of the forest."

Indominus was using a unique trait he had been born with to spot Soarin in the night: thermal detection from pit vipers. With it, Indominus found Soarin's heat signature perched on top of a cloud above the worn area where they had fought. He could see the Wonderbolt just eyeing the entrance of the forest for any sign of movement, but this time Indominus had all his strength back. Along with Rainbow being beside him, he now had the strength and determination to fight Soarin and get back home.

"I'm going to draw him out and pound him so hard that it'll take him a few weeks to recover, even with that formula of his."

"If you're going to beat him again, then I want in on this one Indominus."

"You really want to fight him alongside me Rainbow? I thought that he was one of your idols."

"He is no idol to me Indominus, you're more of an idol than all of the Wonderbolts put together. Besides, he's the one who started all of this drama in the first place, and i want to make him pay for all that he's done to you."

"Rainbow Dash, I love when you get as devious as me," Indominus said as he kissed Rainbow's cheek. "Then this is how we'll make him pay."

Indominus began whispering his plan of attack to Rainbow while keeping one eye on the heat signature in the sky to make sure Soarin wasn't going to swoop in. Thankfully the stubborn Wonderbolt wasn't even aware of the hybrid's presence. When Indominus finished explaining his plan, Rainbow was having difficulty keeping her giggles muffled.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojL5Y5HvOlE

"Indominus, you are definitely the strongest and the most clever creature I've ever met. Soarin won't even know what hit him."

"Yeah, and this way he'll be out of commission for a couple weeks at the most."

"Which will give me enough time to rekindle my love with you, and make both of us feel so hot again." Indominus felt his heart beat a little faster at hearing the seductive tone in Rainbow's voice.

"Once he's beaten so badly, I promise that I'll give "it" to you every single night Dashie. I'll make sure that you feel so much heat and pleasure," Indominus said in his own seductive tone as he kissed Rainbow again and then walked out of the forest.

He still had his eyes on Soarin and saw the heat signature starting to move. From up above, Soarin had spotted Indominus but didn't realize that the hybrid was completely healed.

"Finally, it took him long enough to get out of that blasted forest. Now to finish the job."

Soarin took off from his cloud, still giant since the formula hadn't worn off despite all the time Indominus had spent in the forest. The Wonderbolt charged towards the hybrid from a steep dive, gaining speed and closing fast. Indominus saw the attack coming and prepared himself for the impact. As Soarin charged up his hoof for a punch, Indominus did the same with his fist. When both attacks collided, the collision sent out a wide shock-wave in all directions. Soarin was stunned to see that his punch hadn't budged Indominus at all, and that the hybrid was able to match his strength again.

"H-How is this possible? You had no strength left before, how can you possibly match me now?"

"Because unlike you Soarin, I have friends that are looking out for me.
I get my strength from more than just my anger, the support of my family and loved ones makes me strong too." Indominus seized Soarin's front hooves in his claws. "Plus you forgot one important person, Wondernothing: my loyal, loving and insanely hot wife." Indominus then threw Soarin's whole body behind him as he called out, "NOW RAINBOW!!"

Rainbow came speeding out of the forest in her transformed state as soon as she heard Indominus. She came flying in so fast that Soarin had no time to react as Rainbow nailed him with a punch to the face. The force of the punch sent Soarin right into the dirt and sent him skidding across the ground. Rainbow touched down beside Indominus, ready to beat the living crap out of the cruel Wonderbolt that had tried to destroy their relationship.

"Ready to make Soarin suffer for what he's put us through Indominus?"

"I'm ready to break his bones, Rainbow. He can take as many formulas as he'd like, but it won't help his body against the two of us. Let's do this Dashie."

Soarin barely managed to get his bearings after the sneak attack as he heard the rumble of giant footsteps heading for him. He exploded off the ground and charged for Rainbow Dash first, both pegasi swung their hooves back and collided with each other. Soarin hadn't counted on Rainbow's strength being greater than the formula as her punch overwhelmed his and left him open for Indominus to punch him right in the dead center of the chest. Soarin felt all the air leave his lungs as he doubled over with Indominus's fist still lodged in his chest.

"H-How....did you...get..strong again," Soarin choked out.

"You shouldn't have tried to destroy my bond with Rainbow Dash. I'm strong because of her love for me, and we'll always be there for each other. By trying to hurt us, you've only made us stronger."

"Also, you don't have anypony around to save your hide Soarin. Now we're going to pay you back for trying to kill our love."

Rainbow nailed Soarin across the face with a left hook, and the Wonderbolt was sent tumbling across the dirt. Her attack left Soarin slightly stunned because of the strength she had received from Indominus. He tried to shake away the stun as he squared off with Indominus, who was already charging towards him. The dinosaur and Wonderbolt rammed their heads against each other, with Soarin being really lucky that the horns on Indominus's head missed piercing his skull. He followed up with a punch to Indominus's head, but the hybrid retaliated with a slash across Soarin's face.

Both blows drew blood on their faces, but Indominus's attack had more strength behind it. Rainbow took advantage of the situation and clamped down on the back of Soarin's neck, immobilizing him.

"Nice going Rainbow, now I can show Soarin the real reason why he'll never beat me."

"J-Just what a-are you talking about," Soarin said while dealing with Rainbow's teeth digging into his neck.

"This, you poor fool."

Soarin eyes went bug eyed as he watched the marks on Indominus's face heal with his guardian power. In a matter of seconds, the hybrid had no marks on his face, leaving no trace that Soarin had even attacked him.

"WHAT IS THIS THING!?" Soarin was in complete disbelief upon seeing Indominus's healing ability.

"He's a guardian you idiot, something you will never be," Rainbow said after releasing her bite grip and smacking Soarin from behind.

He didn't have time to retaliate as Indominus seized him by the throat and held him in his claws. Rainbow walked next to him and stared at Soarin with the look of a predator in her eyes.

"Now you're gonna know what it feels like to be double-teamed Soarin. You're going to endure all the pain that I felt when you attacked Rainbow Dash in front of me."

Rainbow and Indominus unleashed a relentless assault upon Soarin, throwing punches and slashes that just tore up his body. Indominus focused on marking up Soarin's face with his claws, or smashing it against trees with his fists. Rainbow used her claws to slash all over Soarin's body, dealt powerful kicks to his sides and gut, and chomped down on his neck with Indominus. The ruthless attacks kept Soarin from striking back or even getting enough time to make a break for the clouds. He was now at the mercy of the very lovers he had tried to tear apart, and they had no ounce of mercy in them.

"We're going to break you like a Timberwolf," Indominus bellowed as he slammed both fists down upon Soarin's head.

The Wonderbolt's head was hit with such force that Soarin couldn't bring it back up. Indominus followed up with an uppercut that exposed Soarin's underside. Rainbow saw a beautiful opportunity and used the moment to deliver a kick right to the 'area where the sun didn't shine' part of Soarin's body. That attack sent crippling shock waves of pain coursing throughout the Wonderbolt's very being, and it brought him to his knees with no chance of standing back up.

"Prepare to cry Wonderbolt."

The lovers attacked the paralyzed Wonderbolt with great ferocity, smashing away at his body and wrecking it with every blow. While Rainbow took her turn to punch away at Soarin's face, Indominus was punching the Wonderbolt's body with enough force to break bones. The battered Wonderbolt could feel his bones shattering each time Indominus smashed his fists against him. After Rainbow and Indominus had dealt their bone breaking blows, they finished the job by dealing one final combined punch to Soarin's head. The bleeding, bruised and absolutely demolished Wonderbolt rolled along the ground until he came to a stop and laid in a crumpled heap.

Soarin's hopes of pounding Indominus had gone against him and now he was a mere shadow his former self. Nearly every bone in his body felt like it had been crushed, and he didn't even have enough strength to fly away from the area. With his strength gone, Soarin could only watch as Indominus and Rainbow advanced towards him. They stopped in front of their handiwork and glared down at the battered excuse of a Wonderbolt.

"I warned you that this would happen Soarin, but you're too stubborn to listen to anypony but your teammates. Now look at you, you're so destroyed and torn up that you can't even fly."

"Don't worry, we don't intend to kill you here. That time will come later when I can beat you on my own. For now, we're going to give you a warning to relay to the rest of the Wonderbolts." The lovers seized Soarin by the throat and pulled him in until he was staring at both of them.

"We're gonna say this one time Soarin, it's over."

"Whatever vendetta you have against us is dead. Even with the formula that you and your teammates have, it will never be enough to bring us down."

Rainbow and Indominus finished with saying the same line together. "You come after us, and we'll crush you, got it?" Soarin weakly nodded his head in response, and the lovers decided to send him on his way.

Rainbow aimed him in the direction of the Wonderbolt Academy, then she and Indominus began charging up energy in their mouths. Soarin couldn't do anything to stop them as the lovers fired their blasts that sent him flying in the direction of the compound. Once Soarin was out of sight, Rainbow and Indominus took flight and made their way back to the cloudominium. Indominus was relieved that he finally got the chance to pound the heck out of Soarin at last, even better, he got to do it with Rainbow fighting alongside him. Now he couldn't wait to get a good sleep with his family again.

The lovers touched down outside the cloud mansion, and after everything that had happened, Rainbow couldn't help but gaze at her hybrid husband. There was just something about seeing him fight and getting to fight alongside him that felt so special to her.

"You look so awesome when you fight Indominus."

"Now Rainbow, flattery won't get you everywhere," Indominus said as he nuzzled Rainbow's face. "You know, this feels like the first time we fought together, only this time I get to go to bed with you."

"Yeah, and I'm really glad to have you back Indominus. Now you go up the stairs and I'll wake Scootaloo. I'm sure she'll be just as glad to see you home too."

Rainbow flew up to the bedroom window while Indominus made his way through the house and up the stairs. When she got to the window, she was pleased to see Tyrannosaurus had coiled himself around Scootaloo, just like Indominus had done for her. Rainbow glided over to the bed and gently stirred Scootaloo from her sleep.

"Scootaloo. Scootaloo, wake up."

"Ungh, Rainbow Dash....it's at least two in the morning. Why are you waking me up now?"

"Because, there's someone that I think you'll love to see." At that moment the door to the bedroom opened and every dinosaur jerked awake.

Their faces lit up when they saw Indominus enter the room, and Scootaloo was ready to shed happy tears. Her drowsiness had vanished as she bolted off the bed and hugged Indominus. It warmed the hybrid's heart to see his little girl so happy again.

"You're really back Dad. You kept your promise to all of us."

"Yes I did Scootaloo," Indominus said as he held Scootaloo and stroked her mane. "I'm sorry for worrying you, Rainbow and everyone else so much."

"We're glad to have you back Indominus," said Delta as she and her sisters got up and nuzzled their hybrid brother.

"You really had us worried," said Charlie.

"Promise you'll let us help you out next time the Wonderbolts decide to do something like this," said Blue.

"Yeah, we don't want to worry about losing you again brother," Echo added.

"I promise girls, next time I run into trouble I'll turn to my family for support. But for now, I'd like to get some decent sleep."

The raptors made way as Indominus carried Scootaloo back to the bed. They made themselves comfy and started to drift back to sleep as Indominus climbed into the bed and laid Scootaloo down by T-Rex. Rainbow joined him and the two couples snuggled together like before.

"You did a fine job taking care of them brother."

"I made a promise to you Indominus, and I swore I would keep it," said T-Rex. "What finally got you to see that it wasn't your fault?"

"Well, I received some much needed wisdom from a dragon god and Rainbow herself. They got me to realize that I wasn't at fault for all that damage, it was Soarin's fault after all. But we made sure to pay him back, didn't we Rainbow?"

"We sure did Indominus, and after that encounter he'll be out of action for a few weeks. Now how's about we finally get some rest huh? It's been a long night for all of us."

"Agreed."

Tyrannosaurus and Scootaloo went back to sleep for the last time that night. Indominus was about to as well, but Rainbow had one last thing for him. She snuggled close against him and whispered to him.

"I look forward to having my way with you again, my scaly stud. During these next few weeks, I'm gonna fill your body with so much pleasure you won't even remember what anger feels like." Rainbow kissed Indominus before she drifted off to sleep herself.

Indominus slowly closed his eyes with a content smile on his face, and before he finally got his peaceful sleep he said.

"I can't wait to feel your warm love again, my sweet, loyal and devoted Dashie."

Meanwhile, back at the compound Spitfire was pacing the runway looking for any signs of Soarin. He had been gone for far too long to just deal out some punishment. She thought that something had gone wrong after hours had gone by and he hadn't returned from his errand. The lead Wonderbolt was about to head back inside when she spotted two orbs of energy streaking towards the compound. She didn't know what was happening until she saw the helpless and battered Wonderbolt that was on the receiving side of both blasts.

Soarin was slowly returning to his normal size as the blasts got closer and closer to the runway. Being slashed and pounded by Rainbow and Indominus had drained him of so much blood and strength that the formula was wearing off faster than expected. Before Soarin reached the runway, both blasts exploded and the combined force sent him slamming into the island. Spitfire rushed over and used her wings to dissipate the smoke to see how badly hurt Soarin was. She was absolutely horrified at all the marks and gashes that covered his body. It was almost as bad as the nightmare where she had watched his eyes get impaled and his head torn in half by Indominus.

Fortunately, she saw that Soarin was still breathing and was relieved when he managed to open his eyes.

"B-Boss.....where...am I?"

"You're back Soarin. Now just relax, we're going to get you some help."

Spitfire carefully carried Soarin back inside the compound, and to the medical room. After examining all of the damage dealt to his body, the doctors deduced that Soarin would have to remain in bed for a few weeks in order to make a full recovery. Soarin was appalled at having to be confined to his bed for so long, but they reminded him that he was lucky to be alive. If it wasn't for that formula, he could've been killed. So Soarin reluctantly accepted the choice and let Spitfire take him back to the sleeping quarters.

Once he was laid down, Spitfire had to ask the obvious question.

"What happened to making that monster pay Soarin? You should've been able to take him on given how weak he is."

"You mean how weak he WAS, That monster somehow got all his strength back and the worst part, he had Rainbow Crash with him and they double teamed me. She knew how to fight just like him and with their combined might, they overwhelmed and nearly killed me."

"I promise you Soarin, we'll get them back for this. That monster has killed too many of our team already, and Crash has chosen him over us. They've sealed their fate with these foolish decisions, and they'll be sorry in the end. While you recover Soarin, we'll call in all the reserves and get as many new cadets that have already tried out. By the time you are fully healed, we'll have enough Wonderbolts to take on that monster and his whole wretched family."

"Make sure my special formula is ready by then Spitfire, because I intend to kill that monster and Rainbow Crash with it."

"Will do Soarin, now get some sleep. You have a long recovery ahead of yourself."

"I know," Soarin said as Spitfire went to her bed and as he tried to fall asleep.

Preparations were on the way, round 2 was approaching, and Indominus would soon find himself facing off against the Wonderbolts again. Only this time, he wouldn't be facing them alone.

Rekindling Love

Author's Notes:

This chapter has another of the really hot moments in it, just a fair warning to you readers.

Tyrannosaurus slowly woke from his slumber as the sun rose. He noticed that Indominus and Rainbow were snuggled so closely together and that their tails had been intertwined. Rainbow was even holding one of Indominus's hands close to her chest, like she never wanted to let go of him again.

"They look so good together, I think I'll give my brother some much needed rekindling with his girl," Tyrannosaurus said softly under his breath.

He carefully got up from the bed and silently walked over to the raptors and tried to nudge them awake. Blue was the first one to stir and before she could say anything, T-Rex gestured to the sleeping lovers being held in each other's embrace. Blue instantly understood what Tyrannosaurus was trying to do for his brother, and silently got up herself.

"You're a good brother T-Rex, you know that," Blue whispered.

"I know, he really deserves this. Plus, I'm pretty sure that Rainbow will be pulling him into the gold room every night to make him feel alive again."

"I'm positive that he'll do the same for her as well."

"Right. Now wake up your girls and I'll get Scootaloo. We'll take her to school this morning so the lovebirds can have some quality time together."

Blue nodded and got to work on waking up her sisters while T-Rex nudged Scootaloo to wake her. The orange filly felt herself being stirred from her slumber and her eyes opened just enough to see T-Rex smiling at her.

"Morning T-Rex, is it time to get up already?"

"Yes Scootaloo, but first turn around. You've gotta see this cute moment behind you."

Scootaloo turned over on her side and her eyes widened when she saw Rainbow and Indominus holding each other so lovingly. She had to cover her mouth to keep from squealing and waking up the lovebirds, especially when she heard Indominus talk so sweetly in his sleep.

"Mmm......oh Rainbow.....you're so beautiful and smooth. I'll love you til the end of eternity, my fantastic pegasus."

"Aw, that's so romantic," Scootaloo whispered while struggling to contain her excitement.

"It really is beautiful, which is why we're going to give them some time to rekindle their love. After everything Indominus has been through, he could use some of Rainbow's love. So let's get going Scoots, and let the lovebirds have some more time together."

"I hope that one day, you and me can be just like them Tyrannosaurus," Scootaloo said as she kissed T-Rex while getting up. The kind gesture left the tyrant lizard speechless for awhile.

"That's a day I look forward to Scootaloo."

The dinosaurs began making their way out of the bedroom. Scootaloo had just followed the raptors out when T-Rex heard Indominus stirring from his slumber. He walked over and stood over Indominus as he finally woke up.

"Brother.....where's Scootaloo?"

"We're taking her to school for you Indominus. After all that's happened, you deserve some much needed time with Rainbow Dash."

"But T-Rex, I have my responsi-" Indominus was cut off by Tyrannosaurus before he could finish.

"Your responsibilities can be put on hold for awhile. Me and the raptor squad can keep an eye on her while you rekindle your bond with your fantastic wife. Besides, look at her. Do you really want to leave such a wonderful position?"

Indominus took notice of how Rainbow was holding his hand so close to her body and how she was snuggled so close to him as well.

"It's been too long since I've held Rainbow this close before."

"See what I mean? Now don't worry about Scootaloo, we'll take care of her while you enjoy Rainbow for part of the morning. After you're done making love to each other, we'll meet you in the forest, agreed?"

"Agreed. Thanks for doing this for me T-Rex."

"That's what family does Indominus, we look out for each other," Tyrannosaurus said before closing the door and leaving the lovers alone.

Indominus just took in Rainbow's whole body as he laid on the bed holding her so close. He then leaned over and gently licked the side of her face affectionately. When he pulled away Indominus had a content smile on his face, which grew into a sheepish grin when Rainbow spoke up.

"Look who's becoming the perverted one now. I didn't think that a hybrid dinosaur could have such naughty thoughts."

"You're one to talk my Dashie, you did the same thing on our honeymoon, I'm merely trying it for myself. Either way, I'm happy to be in your embrace again."

"So am I Indominus, I missed having your body so close to me," said Rainbow as she held Indominus's face in her hooves and began kissing him.

The hybrid dinosaur felt his body relax as he accepted Rainbow's hot kisses and the feeling of her lips against him. He could feel every sensation pulsing through his body as Rainbow rolled him over and laid on top of Indominus's body. She broke away from the kiss only to then lick the hybrid's neck, which Indominus couldn't resist. He just held Rainbow as she licked his scales and kissed him with so much love that steam was starting to pour out of his nostrils.

"Ohhhhh, I've missed this feeling. It's so wonderful and hot."

"It's about to get even warmer for you big boy," Rainbow said as she began inching her way down Indominus's body.

Indominus's eyes bulged when he saw Rainbow was positioning her flank right in-between his legs. He knew what Rainbow had in mind, and it was going to fill his body with pleasure like she had promised.

"Here we go," Rainbow said as she lowered her flank and inserted herself into Indominus. She then towered over the engaged hybrid with the same seductive eyes from their honeymoon. "I promised you pleasure, and know you're going to receive it." Rainbow ran her tongue along the length of Indominus's neck before she looked him in the eye and said some familiar words he had used once. "I hope it's everything you're expecting."

Both lovers felt their bodies being flooded with pleasure as Rainbow began thrusting on top of Indominus. He was used to being the one on top during their mating sessions, but this time Rainbow was the one dominating him. With every thrust Indominus felt his body getting hotter and being overtaken by the sheer joy that came with it. He was so overtaken with the pleasure and seeing Rainbow in all her splendor on top of him that he reached up and kissed her. Rainbow wrapped her hooves around Indominus and returned the white hot kiss as she continued to thrust on top of the hybrid's body. They stayed with their mouths intertwined like the rest of their bodies for ten whole minutes until they finally broke away for a breath.

Both pegasus and dinosaur were breathing hard and sweating from the heat of the moment. Indominus was holding onto Rainbow's shoulders to keep from falling over from the effort he was still putting into the mating. They each had a deep red blush on their faces and were giving one another beautiful seductive stares.

"You've really missed me a lot, haven't you Indominus?"

"Babe, you don't know the half of it," Indominus said while struggling to catch his breath.

He could feel the pressure building within his lower portion as he and Rainbow kissed again and knew the time was close.

"R-Rainbow....I'm so c-close."

"Do what you want Indominus, don't be afraid."

At those words, Indominus and Rainbow gave their best efforts into the thrusts. Their breathing was becoming more erratic as the pleasure reached the climax, and the explosion of joy and warmth that burst within them both. Rainbow and Indominus roared into the heavens as the pleasure flowed in their bodies. Their roars could be heard outside of the clouddominium and across most of Ponyville, which the Mane Five all heard. Which told them that Indominus had definitely rekindled his love with his amazing wife.

Tyrannosaurus and the raptor squad even heard the roars over at the school house just as they had dropped Scootaloo off. T-Rex could even pick a familiar and powerful scent all the way from the school house, which gave him a good idea of what they were doing.

"That is the sign that Indominus has experienced the joy and happiness from his honeymoon and that reward from Rainbow," said Tyrannosaurus as he heard his brother's roars.

"He sure sounds like he's having the time of his life," said Delta.

"Just think, we'll be hearing that every night for the next few weeks," said Blue.

"I'm just glad that Indominus is back home and that he and Rainbow are still together," said Scootaloo.

"They love each other far too much to lose sight of their relationship Scootaloo. In fact, I think Rainbow might love Indominus more than she loved being a Wonderbolt. Now go on Scootaloo, and we'll see you afterwards for more crusades, alright?"

"Ok T-Rex," Scootaloo said while sharing a family nuzzle with him and the raptor squad and then heading into the school house.

"Alright girls, let's go and find our breakfast. Indominus will be joining us after he and Rainbow finish having their fun."

The group of carnivores left the school and headed into the Everfree Forest to hunt for prey. They would wait for their hybrid brother later.

Back in the clouddominium, Indominus was laying on the bed breathing slowly after the effort he had put into his mating with Rainbow. While the hybrid tried to catch his breath, Rainbow laid on top of him giving Indominus gentle kisses on the side of his face and stroking it with a free hoof. She felt so happy and satisfied after her experience with Indominus, and each time always felt as wonderful as their first time in the cave over a year ago.

"Rainbow," Indominus said after catching enough breath to speak. Rainbow lowered her head until they were eye to eye.

"Yes my scaly stud?"

"I can't thank you enough for the wonderful experience. It was so beautiful."

"You're welcome Indominus, you're always in my heart each time." Indominus wrapped his arms around Rainbow and held her in a hug as they stared happily at each other.

"You are also nice and kind with me every time. Plus we always turn red when we kiss in the heat of the moment. "

"Yeah we do. Oh by the way, make sure to give T-Rex and the raptors my regards for getting Scootaloo to school this morning."

"Will do Rainbow." The lovers nuzzled each other softly as they held each other. Rainbow could hear Indominus's steady heartbeat from being so close to him.

"You've got a strong heart Indominus. Even after all the excitement, it's beating so strong and calm."

"Really now? What does it sound like it's saying with those beats?"

"It's saying Rain-Bow, Rain-Bow, Rain-bow."

"Cute, real cute."

"I've never loved any stallion as much as you Indominus. I can promise you that I will never betray you for those wretched Wonderbolts again."

"I know Rainbow, I'm just sorry that you had to give up your lifelong dream."

"Hey, even if I did become a true Wonderbolt, it wouldn't be complete without you." The lovers rolled onto their sides and Indominus coiled his tail around Rainbow in a loving embrace before kissing her on the cheek.

"Because we're too good together."

"Exactly. You're so unique," Rainbow got up and moved on the bed until she was staring down at Indominus's face while he looked up at hers. "Devilishly attractive, and you excite me in ways no stallion ever could."

"Just for curiosity Rainbow, what about me is so exciting? I don't believe I have anything that truly stands out."

"Well there is your strong scaly hide and those massive biceps that seem to get bigger. Your chest is so smooth to rest on, but, if you really want to, we could talk about your-"

"Whoa Rainbow!! I know where that is going."

"Now your turn," Rainbow said as she stared at Indominus seductively. "Which part of me do you find most attractive?" Indominus actually got a little nervous from Rainbow's intimate question.

"I don't have a particular preference of what I like most about you, really I don't."

"Oh you say that now, but sooner or later I will find out what you like most about me and you know what will happen then?"

"What?"

Rainbow leaned down and gave Indominus a sweet upside down kiss before she whispered her answer to him.

"I will make a fire in your core so hot that you will feel eternal bliss."

She gave one final kiss on Indominus's nose before she got up and made her way to the door. Even though she wasn't a Wonderbolt anymore, Rainbow still had her job as weather manager. Before she left, she turned back towards Indominus, who was getting ready to head out the window and told him.

"Remember my scaly stud, everything we just did this morning will be waiting for you tonight in the gold room. I still have plenty of love and pleasure to bestow upon you." She then gave Indominus a wink before she left the bedroom.

Indominus chuckled as he took off out the window and said to himself.

"I look forward to it."

Over in the Everfree Forest, Tyrannosaurus and the raptors were feasting on a pack of Manticores when they heard Indominus's footsteps approaching. They pulled their jaws out of the bodies when their hybrid brother came into view.

"Tell me brother, did you enjoy your time with Rainbow Dash?"

"Oh I had such a wondrous time with her, T-Rex. She can give pleasure just as much as she can enjoy the kind I give her. These next few weeks will be the most exhilarating time of my life. But for now, I could really use a good meal."

"There's a few Manticores hiding around here somewhere," said Echo. "Maybe they can satisfy your appetite."

Indominus began searching the area for any signs of movement or heat signatures, then suddenly took off into a group of trees. The other dinosaurs lost sight of him, but they heard painful shrieks and savage roars in the distance. Then after a minute, everything went dead silent with no indication of life. But after a moment, Indominus's footsteps were heard along with him coming back towards his family with two manticore bodies in his hands.

"You're still an effective hunting machine Indominus," said Blue.

"I always will be," Indominus said as he began digging into his kills and devouring the flesh.

The six dinosaurs ate away at their kills as a family, all while enjoying the brief time of peace that Indominus and Rainbow had bought them by beating Soarin into a pulp.

Time of Relief

After the dinosaurs had finished their feasting on the manticores, all eyes were on Indominus. They had heard his delighted roar when he and Rainbow had made blissful love that morning, and they wanted to know what their hybrid brother had thought of the experience.

"So tell me Indominus," Blue said. "What did you think of your time with Rainbow Dash?"

"It was so hot Blue, and I swear that she's going to make it even hotter when I get back home tonight. Despite all that I did while the Devil and the Immortal Phoenix were affecting my mind and body, she still loves me. I never imagined to have somepony as dedicated as her in my life."

"Well, she does represent the Element of Loyalty brother," said Tyrannosaurus. "She's the most loyal pony you'll ever meet after all, that's what her friends have told us. Plus, you've been the only one that has defended her in her most vulnerable moments. That kind of returned loyalty definitely leaves a good impression on the ones you love."

"She even went out of her way to bring you back home Indominus, you're not going to lose her anytime soon," said Delta.

Indominus remembered all the kind things Rainbow had told him that night. She confirmed to him that he would always take priority over the Wonderbolts. They had even shared some wonderful, romantic kisses under the light of the moon. To top it off, Indominus had received powerful wisdom from a true god and was willing to take the journey to conquer his rage and beat the Devil. There was no denying that he was on the path to cleansing his heart and finding peace with his family again.

"By the way everyone, Rainbow wanted me to say thanks to all of you for getting Scootaloo to school this morning."

"Don't mention it brother," said Echo. "It was our way of giving you more time with your girl after all the pain you both went through."

"We're keeping our word to you and Rainbow like we promised," Charlie added. "That includes taking care of Scootaloo, and helping you and Rainbow out when there's trouble."

Indominus walked over and began nuzzling the raptors, who gladly accepted the comfort from their hybrid sibling. Tyrannosaurus joined them by nuzzling his brother in the midst of the comfort.

"Thank you guys, I knew that I could trust all of you to take care of Scootaloo. I know you'll have a great future with her when she's old enough brother."

"Thanks Indominus, I'm just trying to model myself after the most caring dinosaur I've ever met: you."

"So what are you gonna do today Indominus," Blue asked.

"I was actually thinking of paying our friends a visit and see if they have any advice for me in dealing with my inner anger. Plus I could use some personal advice from Rarity in making my nights with Rainbow even more hot."

"That's good to hear," said Delta." "For once you're not going off to the Wonderbolt or planning to attack them again."

"There won't be any need for that Delta. Me and Rainbow did a serious number on Soarin last night, and he won't be back on his hooves for a few weeks. I have no reason to attack them with the threat of the Devil lurking in my heart.

The dinosaurs were glad that Indominus was taking the matter very seriously, he wasn't going to risk hurting Rainbow or himself again. Attacking her as the Immortal Phoenix had hurt Indominus too much to just pass it off, so the hybrid was willing to turn to his friends and family for help.

"We know you'll be able to beat this Devil and the Wonderbolts, brother. All of us have faith in you," said T-Rex.

"Thanks brother, and thanks for not giving up on me guys." Indominus bid his farewells to his brother and sisters as he made his way over to Twilight's library.

He chose to visit Twilight first because of her expertise in spells and vast knowledge of everything in magic. He hoped that she had found something that could help him in dealing with the Devil. Indominus decreased his size as he got to the library and gently knocked on the door. He heard hoofsteps rushing to the door and in a matter of minutes, Twilight opened the door and was delighted to see Indominus looking more lively. Indominus found himself being hugged by the alicorn the moment she saw him.

"Twilight, were you and your friends really this worried for me since that battle?"

"Of course Indominus, hearing you talking about giving up on life and letting the Wonderbolts win was painful for all of us. I'm relieved to see you fully healed and back with your family, especially with what we heard this morning."

"T-Rex and the raptors gave me and Rainbow some 'quality time' this morning, and I was really in need of it. She's even promised to give me more of that love tonight when we get back home."

"Sounds to me like Rainbow really wants to make you feel loved again. Rarity could definitely give you some serious pointers on that subject, but I doubt that's why you're here."

"That's correct Twilight, I was actually hoping that you had some spells that could help me with my, inner monster."

"Inner monster? What are you talking about Indominus?" Upon seeing the disheartened look in Indominus's eyes told Twilight that it was something serious. Without any hesitation, she invited the hybrid dinosaur into her home.

Twilight asked Spike to prepare some drinks and snacks for Indominus to make him feel more at peace. Once he felt comfortable, Indominus began telling Twilight and Spike everything he had gone through in that fight against the Wonderbolts and Rainbow. From the moment that the Devil appeared within his mind, to his horrific nightmare about it trying to take control of him. Spike was holding Twilight from hearing about the Devil because it was too much for him to handle. Twilight was shaken herself, because she had never heard of such a deadly manifestation before.

"So this Devil creature, he wants to take over your mind and control you?"

"He wants to use the destructive power of the Immortal Phoenix to destroy everything I love. This isn't any ordinary creature Twilight, he's a manifestation of all the rage I've felt over the last twenty years. He took over my body and mind during that fight, and because of it I ended up hurting Rainbow Dash."

"Oh Indominus, no wonder you were so distraught after that fight. But that wasn't your fault," said Twilight.

"That's what Rainbow told me as well, but how can't it be my fault if that beast is a part of who I am?"

"That's just it Indominus, that monster is not a part of you. He's nothing but a physical form of an emotion that every living creature possesses. You aren't responsible for all that destruction, especially when Soarin was the one who provoked you in the first place."

"We'd never see you as a monster Indominus," Spike added. "You've been looking after Scootaloo for too long to be a monster in our eyes."

"Thank you guys," Indominus said as Twilight and Spike gave him warm hugs. "Just out of curiosity Twilight, have you ever heard of the Winged Dragon of Ra?"

"Winged Dragon of Ra? I've never heard of such a dragon before. Why do you ask?"

"Because, this dragon appeared to me a few nights ago and gave me the wisdom to want to beat the monster in my heart. He told me to look past all my rage towards the Wonderbolts, and to have Rainbow Dash close to me. Ra even told me that once I beat the Devil, I will have the power to bring down the Wonderbolts once and for all."

"Whoa, that's pretty deep Indominus. I can write a letter to the Princesses and see if either of them have any info about this mysterious dragon."

"I appreciate this Twilight, and thanks for giving your support."

Later in the afternoon, Indominus had bid his farewells to Twilight and Spike and began making his way over to Fluttershy's cottage. He decided to visit her next because the hybrid wanted to have some peace and serenity, and he wanted to save the hot peace for the nights with Rainbow. Plus, he could arrange to spend time with a friend that both he and Fluttershy knew. When he got to Fluttershy's cottage and knocked on the door, he shrunk himself down again and prepared himself for another hug. He couldn't have been more right, for once the door opened and Fluttershy saw him, she flew over and hugged the hybrid dinosaur.

"Indominus, I'm glad that you're back with us again. You must've had a pretty nice morning with Rainbow Dash for your roar to be heard from here."

"Well my family took Scootaloo to school this morning so I could have time to rekindle my love with her. She's even promised to give that same kind of love until Soarin heals from his injuries."

"What did you do to him Indominus?"

"Well, I'll have to tell you everything that happened for you to understand. Would it be alright if I told you in your backyard Fluttershy? I could really use some peace and quiet after all that I went through with the Wonderbolts."

"Why of course Indominus, I'll meet you out back."

Indominus increased his size, walked around the cottage and got comfy as he waited for Fluttershy. When Fluttershy walked out, she was joined by some of her animal friends who all went to Indominus and laid down around him. The hybrid was a little surprised that all of Fluttershy's critters were so close to him.

"I might've told them about what you went through, and they've been wanting to give their support to you."

Indominus looked down at all the animals that had gathered around him as they looked up at him.

"I'm so glad that everyone in this world is so concerned for me, even the animals. But I'm back with Rainbow again, and I'm not going to lose her again."

"Judging by how happy you two sounded earlier, I doubt that'll happen anytime soon. Anyway, why did you say that Soarin will be out until he recovers?"

Indominus told Fluttershy everything from how Soarin had tried to kill him, to his meeting with Ra and reuniting with Rainbow Dash. Fluttershy was a little concerned when Indominus talked about facing Soarin again, but was pleased when she heard that Rainbow had helped him beat down the Wonderbolt. After hearing how brutally the lovers had slashed and pounded Soarin, Fluttershy now had a good idea of how long it would take for the Wonderbolt to recover.

"So tell me Indominus, how much love did Rainbow give you this morning?" Indominus was a little surprised by the teasing tone in Fluttershy's voice. He never expected her to be as teasing as her friends, but he still answered her.

"She gave me enough to where I felt so much joy and happiness, I haven't received that much love since she gave me my reward for trashing the compound."

"Did she per chance, tell you what she wants to do with you?"

"She wants to know what I find most attractive in a mare, and when she does, she plans on making me a fire that'll fill me with eternal bliss." Fluttershy turned red once those words escaped Indominus's mouth.

She had known Rainbow Dash since they were fillies and not once did she see Rainbow showing a romantic side. She had assumed that Rainbow would always be tough and cool, and never think about love. But ever since she met Indominus, Fluttershy had seen sides of Rainbow she didn't know even existed. That night when Rainbow had 'rewarded' Indominus had certainly shown a very passionate and hot side of her. But hearing what Rainbow planned to do to Indominus, made Fluttershy realize that her feelings for the hybrid were even hotter than she thought.

"You and Rainbow sure are on a whole new level of relationship. Rarity could definitely tell you what to do to make her love you even more."

"Twilight told me the exact same thing. But I think I'll ask her and Applejack in a few days, right now I just want to enjoy my time with my Dashie.
Oh and Fluttershy, I was wondering if I could ask you a favor."

"Anything Indominus, just name it."

"Is there a day where you could invite Discord over? I'd like to let him know about all that's happened, because I believe that he might be able to help me with my 'Phoenix problems.' Also, I don't know where he lives."

"Actually Indominus, Discord will be joining me next Tuesday for our regular tea parties. You could come over then and I'm sure he'd be more than willing to help you."

"Thank you Fluttershy," said Indominus as he gently nuzzled the yellow pegasus. He had chosen not to tell Fluttershy about his inner Devil because he didn't want to worry her too much.

Indominus got back up on his feet as he heard the school bell off in the distance and knew it was time to pick up Scootaloo. He gave his thanks to Fluttershy and her critters for taking the time to listen to him and made his way towards the school house.

That evening, after the dinosaurs had picked Scootaloo up and spent a day of crusading with her friends, the family was enjoying a nice dinner. After everything that had happened in the last few weeks, they were dinning and enjoying each others company as if nothing had happened. Indominus could see a small bit of sadness in Rainbow's eyes and had a good idea of what could be bugging her. So when the plates were all cleaned and the dinosaurs were relaxing in the living room with Scootaloo, they could hear Indominus and Rainbow in the kitchen.

"Rainbow, what's troubling you?"

"Why would anything be troubling me? I have you back in my life, everything is just as I want it." Indominus held Rainbow's face in one of his hands and stared gently into her eyes.

"Rainbow, I've been with you for almost a year and a half now. I've seen plenty of looks in your eyes, and I can tell when something is troubling you. I even promised your friends that I would be there for you, and that includes when you're upset. So please tell me, what's on your mind?"

Rainbow buried her face against Indominus's face as she told him.

"I...I miss being with the Wonderbolts. I know that I should hate them after what they've tried to do to us, but I still miss being able to fly with them."

"I understand Rainbow, you looked up to them for so long and finally got your dream achieved, only to have them crush it." Indominus gently stroked Rainbow's mane as he motioned for everyone to join him.

Scootaloo and the dinosaurs got up from the couch, walked into the kitchen and gave Rainbow a group hug. Rainbow held Scootaloo in her embrace for all the love she was getting.

"We're sorry that things happened this way Rainbow," said T-Rex.

"You guys didn't do anything wrong, Soarin was the one that attacked our family."

"He's also managed to manipulate the other Wonderbolts into going after us, said Blue.

"But we still think you're the best pony there is Rainbow Dash," Scootaloo added.

"Don't you mean super ultra-extreme-awesome-mazing?" Scootaloo's face beamed at hearing Rainbow's response and the sisters nuzzled each other.

"No matter what anypony says, you'll always be a Wonderbolt to all of us."

"Thanks Scootaloo, I'm so grateful that we've become such a strong and caring family."

That night, Scootaloo was sound asleep in bed while T-Rex and the raptors could hear Indominus and Rainbow loving each other in the gold room. Rainbow had kept her promise to the hybrid and was giving him love that was making his roars being slightly heard, even with the noise cancelling bubble he had cast. If the dinosaurs were able to hear Indominus's roars and Rainbow's delighted moans despite that bubble, they clearly had no control over their voices in their love sessions.

"How long have they been going at it T-Rex," said Delta. Tyrannosaurus glanced over at the clock on the bedside table.

"They been doing it for over an hour."

"How can Indominus have that kind of endurance," asked Echo.

They didn't have to wait long, for at that moment the dinosaurs heard the couple giving a combined roar that although it was muffled, was still heard from the bedroom. A few minutes later, both Rainbow and Indominus walked into the bedroom with satisfied expressions on their faces.

"You're getting even better at kissing, Indominus," Rainbow said as she climbed into bed and waited for her husband to follow.

"The many times I've made love with you have certainly helped improve my performance, Dashie" Indominus said as he crawled into bed and held his wife close.

"I've missed having you so close..to....me," Rainbow said as sleep took hold and she passed out snuggled against Indominus.

"These next few weeks..are going to be..so...beautiful," was what Indominus said before he too fell into the comfort of sleep. The other dinosaurs eventually fell asleep too, glad to see their hybrid brother so at peace and loving his beloved Rainbow Dash again.

In the week leading up to Indominus's day with Discord, the hybrid kept himself busy by focusing on keeping his mind occupied from the bitter memories. He paid Smaug a visit in the dragon lands to hone his fighting skills more, and to inform him of all the peace he was experiencing. He even paid Pinkie a visit to ask for advice on how he could make Rainbow feel more happy after finding out that she missed being a Wonderbolt. His day of telling Rarity and Applejack about his secret desires, what Rainbow planned to do to him, and his own personal cravings was one that would give him plenty to do with Rainbow once the Wonderbolts were dealt with. Luna made sure to visit Indominus in his dreams and was pleased to see the hybrid dinosaur in much better spirits. But the best part of the week and all the others that followed, was the hot love and mating sessions that Rainbow and Indominus shared every night.

Smaug was pleased to hear that Indominus was following Ra's advice, and letting his family be close to him. The dragon lord gave Indominus his training as requested and tried to get Indominus to focus his mind on what he loved most. It was a means of not thinking about his rage so he wouldn't trigger the Immortal Phoenix. It was tough for Indominus, but the training gave him even more combat experience so his fighting skills would be more prepared for when he would face the Wonderbolts again. Indominus was becoming a more skilled warrior and also being prepared for the day when he would also face his inner Devil.

Asking for advice from Pinkie of all ponies was something Indominus never thought he'd be doing. Thankfully, Pinkie knew plenty about Rainbow to pass on the right kind of advice to Indominus.

"So what can I do to make Rainbow feel better, Pinkie?"

"Indominus, I'll tell you that Rainbow really loves a pony that can be as awesome as her in flights, and can pulls pranks with her. You could read Daring Do books with her, she's really into reading stories."

"I'm a dinosaur Pinkie, I don't pull pranks, I pull scares. If I were to even try to prank anypony, I would surely scare them."

"Oh, right. Sorry for making the suggestion."

"No, don't be sorry Pinkie, you're just giving me ideas. Though I think hearing some of these Daring Do stories might make her feel better."

"You could even take her out for a romantic dinner, it would definitely make her feel more happy. Maybe to where she'll want to keep kissing you until dawn."

"Ok. Are all of you really so eager to help me keep my relationship with Rainbow Dash?"

"All of us just want to make sure that you two stay happy together Indominus. You're the first one that Rainbow has shown any love for, and we've seen the pain that you've gone through. Everypony wants to see you and Rainbow keeping your strong bond with each other. The kind of love you two share is so lovely that I don't want to see you lose it."

Indominus licked her face after hearing her kind words. "Thank you so much Pinkie Pie."

As great as Pinkie's advice was, it was nothing compared to what Applejack and Rarity gave to the hybrid dinosaur. They met Indominus at the boutique one afternoon, and when Indominus told them what Rainbow promised him, their mouths were hanging open in shock.

"She wants ta do WHAT!?" Applejack could hardly believe what she had heard from Indominus. It sounded waaay too passionate to be coming from Rainbow Dash.

"I never knew that Rainbow had such a strong, romantic side to her. You've really opened a whole new side to her Indominus," said Rarity

"I never imagined that she would ever want to do something so amazing to me."

"Then tell me," Rarity's tone suddenly got very seductive, which surprised both Indominus and Applejack. "Have you told her which part of her body that you really like the most?"

"Rarity! Ah can't believe what you're sayin'."

"Oh come now Applejack, you've seen the way he stares at her. You should know what part he likes most, be honest with me."

"Well, it is a part that Ah didn't think that he would stare at."

"Wait a minute, do both of you know what I like most about Rainbow?"

Rarity and Applejack nodded simultaneously, and they actually saw a blush forming on Indominus's face. It was so rare to see the hybrid dinosaur who stared death and threats in the face, blushing over something like what part of Rainbow he liked most.

"We've seen it a couple of times during your first year of bonding with Rainbow, and it was peculiar how you weren't attracted by the 'you-know-what,' like most stallions are."

"Ah truly didn't think you would have anything that you considered most attractive on Rainbow. Then again, Ah didn't think a hybrid dinosaur had such personal likes."

"D-Do either of you think it's too embarrassing? I haven't told Rainbow about it, but I'm nervous about what she'll think."

"In my honest opinion Indominus, if you like somethin' then you shouldn't hide it. You like somethin' about Rainbow then don't deny it."

"Applejack's right darling, don't hide what you like from your girl. But if you're nervous, then let her figure it out on her own. She'll be trying many different ways to have 'fun' with you, and when she figures it out, I'm sure you'll feel that great fire and eternal bliss."

'I'm actually really looking forward to that day, and I'd really like to receive that fire from her."

"So, even you have some personal cravings of your own huh," said Applejack.

"Yeah Applejack, even a hybrid dinosaur can have cravings"

"This is a good thing darling, it will make your bond with Rainbow stronger," said Rarity. "We won't tell her about any of this, but promise that you'll keep us updated when she starts to get closer to figuring it out."

"I will Rarity, I swear I will."

Princess Luna had started visiting Indominus more frequently in his dreams ever since the battle. She had become somewhat of a motherly figure to Indominus where Smaug was like a father figure to him. Indominus told her everything that he had told the others and about the tranquility he was having. Luna gave him plenty of support and told the hybrid that Celestia wanted to see him next week in regards to Twilight's letter.

"Does she have info on Ra for me?"

"Well she definitely has some news for you in regards to this dragon. But I'd rather be there with her when she tells it to you."

"I really appreciate you taking all this time to look after me Luna."

"I'm happy to Indominus. I've seen most of your pain ever since the day I first met you. A great creature like you doesn't deserve to be tormented, you deserve the best that life can offer. That's why I want to be there to help you through this."

"Thanks for looking after me Luna," Indominus said as he and Luna shared a hug. However, everything else paled in comparison to the magical love he shared with Rainbow every night.

If anything had become more wonderful and amazing since Indominus's battle with the Wonderbolts, it was his love and mating experiences with Rainbow Dash. She had become far more loving towards Indominus, giving him the same great love and kisses from their honeymoon that were super hot. Indominus let Rainbow completely dominate him during most of the hot kisses and licking, which would cause his scales to turn a fine shade of red. When the final release came each time, Rainbow and Indominus reveled in the bliss and would stay interlocked for a while and give a few more hot kisses.

"I'll figure out what you like of me soon enough Indominus, and I'll light that fire in your soul."

"When that day does come Rainbow, I'll make sure to fill your heart with the same bliss." Indominus and Rainbow gave one hot kiss before saying together.

"It's a promise."

Then the day finally arrived and Indominus made his way to Fluttershy's cottage. He was slightly concerned of what Discord would think after hearing about what the Wonderbolts had tried to do to him and the Devil within him. When he got to the cottage, he heard laughter coming from inside. He had a pretty good idea of what was going on as he shrunk down and knocked on the door. When the door opened, it wasn't Fluttershy that greeted him but his good old chaotic friend.

"Why Indominus, how nice to see you today. I didn't know that you were stopping by on this fine day."

"Actually Discord, Fluttershy said I could drop by and I was looking forward to seeing you today."

"Oh, well in that case, please come in my good friend."

Discord followed Indominus into the living room and got comfy on the couch with his snacks while the hybrid got comfortable on the floor.

"Care for any snacks Indominus?"

"No thanks Fluttershy, I already had my fill this morning."

"So Indominus, Fluttershy did mention that there was something you wanted to tell me, what is it?"

Indominus swallowed his concern and began telling Discord all that had happened to him in the last few weeks. The Lord of Chaos didn't say anything for the longest time, so as not to interrupt his hybrid friend. Discord had a shocked expression on his face when Indominus finally brought up the Devil, and Fluttershy was horribly terrified when she heard the truth herself. After Indominus had told Discord about how he and Rainbow had put Soarin out of commission, the draconequess had heard all he needed to know.

"I can't believe they tried to kill you Indominus," Discord said as he teleported off the couch and reappeared in front of the hybrid dinosaur. "Had I known this sooner, I would've put those scoundrels in a hospital for months. But you've already beat me to the punch. However, is it really true that you have a Devil inside you?"

"Yes Indominus, is that really true? Did he really make you attack the Wonderbolts like that?"

The hybrid dinosaur hung his head as he sadly said, "it's true my friends, I know have a monster living within my heart."

For the first time in his life, Discord was at a loss for words as he held Fluttershy after hearing such a sad response. To think that his first hybrid friend was being hunted by the Wonderbolts and tormented by an inner demon was unthinkable.

"Indominus, I promise that I will do everything I can to help you get through this ordeal. In fact, if it's not too much, I'd like to bring you and Fluttershy to my realm because there is something I'd like to try."

"Certainly Discord, you don't mind, right Fluttershy?"

"Not at all, in fact I'd like to see where you live Discord."

"Splendid! Now let's be off, and we can continue our tea party after we've tried this." Discord snapped his fingers and all three of them disappeared in a flash.

The group found themselves in Discord's realm and Indominus could see all their monster friends roaming about. When they spotted the trio, they all flew over to greet them.

"Boys, you're going to see something that you haven't seen since the Ultimate Obedient Fiend was born."

"Wait, what are you talking about Discord?"

"Indominus, I know this might sound crazy, but it's the only way I can figure out to help you."

Fluttershy, Indominus, and the monsters held their breath as Discord gave his answer.

"You and I are going to brawl Indominus, and I'm going to use my chaotic power to try and stop you while you are the Immortal Phoenix."

"WHAT!?"

"WHAT"

"WHAT!?"

Author's Notes:

Well, there's a big shock: Discord actually wants to test his chaotic power against the Immortal Phoenix. Oh this can't possibly end well. So readers, if the Wonderbolts got pounded into the dirt, Smaug couldn't fight back, and even T-Rex and the raptors couldn't stop the Immortal Phoenix, how do you think Discord will fare against it? Next chapter will definitely be interesting as the Lord of Chaos duels against a hybrid dinosaur with the raging power of a god.

Chaos vs Godly Rage

"Discord, do you have any idea what you're getting yourself into," Fluttershy said in near panic after hearing what Discord's plan was.

"You're asking to fight me, while I'm using the Immortal Phoenix? The very same power that hurt Rainbow Dash?"

"That's correct." No one could make sense as to why Discord wanted to fight Indominus's transformed state so badly. Even his monster friends were confused.

"You don't know what kind of power you're dealing with Discord," said Armored Lizard.

"The last time we saw that power, it tore the Ultimate Obedient Fiend to shreds," Red Eyes added.

"Even if you are the Lord of Chaos, that kind of power would overwhelm anything you could do," said King of Yamimakai.

"Listen guys. I know all of you think that I'm doing something crazy here, but my reason for wanting this is perfectly valid."

"Oh it better be a good reason Discord. I don't want to hurt one of my closest friends."

"That's just it Indominus. I'm not doing this for any selfish reason, I'm doing it for your sake."

"Um, I'm afraid I don't quite understand, Discord."

"You see Fluttershy, I'm doing this because I want to see if I can help Indominus if the Immortal Phoenix gets out of hand again. Now that I know what he's gone through, and having seen the form for myself, I want to know if I can change him back to normal. If it turns out that my power can, then Indominus won't have to worry about hurting Rainbow Dash again. It'll be my way of helping him get through this and stopping that Devil."

Everyone was thoroughly impressed with Discord's reason for wanting to fight the Immortal Phoenix. He was genuinely concerned for Indominus, and wanted to see if his chaotic power could in fact cancel out the godly rage. Indominus had to admit that Discord was right for the most part, but he wasn't sure if the Lord of Chaos could cancel out the Devil. Therefore, the only way to know if Discord could pull it off, was to agree with his plan.

"Alright Discord, you've convinced me. I accept your little plan and you will get to face off against the Immortal Phoenix."

"Indominus, are you sure you want to go through with this?"

"Yes Fluttershy, if Discord thinks he can stop my rage, then I want to see if he can. If this works out then I will have a way to stop the Devil within me before my rampages get out of hand."

Discord could see the frightened look in Fluttershy's eyes, so he tried to give her some reassurance.

"Don't worry Fluttershy, if either of us get hurt, I can heal both of us in an instant. Remember, I'm only doing this so that Indominus won't have to worry about hurting anypony else. I want to be there for my friends when they need help."

"Wow Discord, that was beautiful."

"I know. You've been a great influence on me," Discord said as he gave Fluttershy a quick hug before turning to his monster pals. "Boys, no matter what happens, make sure that nothing and I mean NOTHING, happens to Fluttershy.

"We won't let you down Discord," all the monsters said in unison.

"Good. Now Indominus, let's make our way over to the battlefield."

Indominus was about to question Discord when the draconequess snapped his fingers and a massive orb of earth appeared in the distance. It was roughly twice the size of the moon so it would have plenty of ground for the fighters to spar. With another snap of his fingers, Discord transported himself and Indominus onto the mud ball and Indominus realized how much further they actually were. Fluttershy and the monsters seemed like tiny dots in the distance, and thus Indominus wouldn't be able to hurt them without covering that much ground.

"Alright Indominus, is this good enough for testing your might against my chaos?"

"This'll work just fine Discord, but I hope you're ready for this."

"Please, I can do anything my hybrid friend, which means I am ready for anything. Now let's get this brawl underway."

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJ-drpEGRc0&t=156s

Indominus could hear the Devil inside him taunting and tempting him to give into his power like before. As he squared off against Discord, the hybrid struggled to keep his anger in check.

"Come on, give into your power and attack him with all you've got. He wants to fight your true power, so give it to him."

"No, I'm not going to kill Discord. You're not going to have control of me again. I will fight with my power, and without your influence!"

"Have you forgotten what I can do beast? I'm part of you and I can take over whenever I want."

The Devil sunk his claws into the dinosaur's back and Indominus felt his influence taking over.

"Now we'll see what your friend thinks of you after this demonstration."

"Forgive me, Discord," Indominus said as he felt the monster work his way inside his mind.

Indominus roared into the skies of the chaos realm as he transformed and became the Immortal Phoenix. Discord felt a trickle of sweat drip down his face as he squared off against the flame covered dinosaur.

"This is gonna be exciting. Alright Indominus, FIGHT!!"

The transformed dinosaur exploded off the ground towards Discord and the brawl was underway.

As soon as Indominus got close enough to strike, Discord teleported away before the dinosaur's claws even touched him. He reappeared in the air above Indominus, and stared down at his fiery opponent.

"Time for some experimenting. Let's see if this will put out his flame."

Discord conjured up a massive tidal wave of water and sent it flying towards Indominus, but he was in for a surprise. The moment the water made contact with Indominus's body, it evaporated into a giant cloud of steam. Indominus flew up through the cloud and got close to biting Discord, but the draconequess split his head down the middle as the dinosaur's jaws went right between them. Discord seized the moment and nailed a powerful punch across Indominus's face, only to pull it back after the flames burned him. The hybrid on the other hand, was barely fazed by the blow and retaliated with a smack that turned Discord's world on its head.

Discord pulled his head back together as he tried to make sense of what just happened while recovering from the blow he had received.

"Something is strange about this power he has. It's not ordinary fire, and it burns anything that makes contact with it." Discord stood upright as Indominus advanced towards him. "I've never met a creature with Indominus's level of strength, I must see what's causing all this."

Discord began conjuring a massive storm cloud and brought forth hundreds of lightning bolts. But the instant each bolt touched Indominus, they were sent flying away in all directions. The hybrid then bellowed a roar that rattled Discord to his very core and dispersed the storm cloud he had conjured. The Lord of Chaos felt immense pain course through him as Indominus nailed him right in the chest. As Indominus got ready to strike again, he felt a strong force keeping his body frozen in place.

Discord was using his magic to keep Indominus in place, and yet the hybrid was trying to break the hold on him. The fiery red glow in the hybrid's eyes was enough to put a little anxiety into Discord's heart. Yet he swallowed his anxiety and glared at his opponent.

"You should know better than to attack someone that you don't know anything about." There was a slight yellow glow in Discord's eyes as he opened his mouth and bellowed. "Now, here's a taste of my power!"

He unleashed a blast at Indominus from point blank range. The resulting explosion packed enough power to send Indominus smashing into the ground. The hybrid had barely any time to react before massive chains erupted from the ground and bound themselves all around him. The transformed dinosaur was held in place, and despite the power he held, the golden flames couldn't melt or destroy the chains. Discord appeared in front of him with a content grin.

"See, I can make material that not even you can destroy. Now Indominus, I'm going to see the source of this rage." Discord coated his eagle hand in chaos magic as he touched Indominus's head and entered the dinosaur's mind.

Discord found himself on a destroyed wasteland with eruptions of fire in the distance.

"W-what is this place? Is this what the inside of his mind is like?"

"Well now, it seems that I have an intruder to deal with."

Discord could feel cold sweat running down his neck as he turned around and found himself face to face with the demonic black dragon that plagued Indominus's mind and heart. The Devil was keeping something hidden behind his back with one arm, and it concerned Discord with what this beast had planned.

"So, you're the Devil huh?"

"That pitiful mongrel told you about me eh? Well that doesn't mean you can stop me."

"Where is Indominus in all this destruction?"

"Oh, you mean THIS weak excuse of a dinosaur?" Discord's eyes went wide in horror as he saw Indominus being held by the neck within the Devil's grip. "It's rather tough to take over his mind, but when he uses the Immortal Phoenix, I can control his body and mind with ease."

"PUT HIM DOWN!!" Discord increased his size and threw a punch at the Devil, but he felt an evil force holding him back.

"You should know better than to attack someone whom you know nothing about. Weren't those your exact words, Lord of Chaos?" The Devil casually walked towards Discord while keeping his grip on Indominus. Discord tried surrounding his body with his magic to free himself, but his chaotic power was cut off when the Devil seized him by the throat.

"Your chaos is nothing compared to the savage power of rage. Nothing in this world can ever overcome the kind of rage this behemoth has endured. Not you, not Rainbow Crash, and certainly not the word of a divine god. You will fall just like all the others Discord, and when Indominus kills you, he will suffer from so much guilt that he will never be able to fight me again!" The Devil fired a blast of dark energy that was powerful enough to send Discord out of Indominus's mind and away from the chained hybrid.

For the first time in his life, Discord was feeling true fear after his encounter with the Devil. He had never seen rage take such a destructive form before, or have the power to paralyze him. He felt even more fear as he watched Indominus grab the chains and tear them all apart with nothing but his hands and pure anger. This was a more serious problem than Discord had thought, and realized that there was only way to stop this rampage: hold back no more and tap into his chaotic power to the fullest.

"I'm sorry Indominus, I've no choice but to bring out my absolute best. I've never had to do this before, so even I don't know what will happen. I only hope that it will be enough to put that monster in your head out of action."

Back by Discord's house, Fluttershy and the monsters could see a red glow starting to form around him. They even noticed that his realm was beginning to warp in certain places. Dark red lightning bolts were shooting all over the battlefield and it scared Fluttershy deeply. In all the time she had known Discord, she had never seen him use such dark power before.

"Can any of you guys tell me what Discord is doing?"

"Oh we've heard him talk about this once," said Zoa.

"He told us that he's never had to use the full extent of his power before," Armored Lizard added.

"Because he didn't know what would happen, for he said it would be too dangerous," said Red-Eyes.

Fluttershy watched the red glow becoming brighter and became even more worried for Discord and Indominus. The group then heard Discord's voice echo across the entire realm as he bellowed out to Indominus.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL7n3sF7sX0

"You might be able to break bodies Indominus, but I....BREAK REALITY!!!"

Discord's eyes began glowing a bright shade of red and chaos magic was surging around him like Indominus's golden flames. He had finally tapped into the full extent of his power with no restraints.

"Now beast....TASTE THE TRUE POWER OF CHAOS!!"

Dark red lightning bolts came out of the realm and streaked toward Indominus, but unlike before, these bolts didn't deflect off his body. These lightning bolts struck the transformed hybrid with deadly force and caused him to stagger. Undeterred by Discord's power, the hybrid charged forward in the flurry of lightning bolts. But he was stopped by a new threat that burst from the ground and started slashing at him: lava tentacles. The hybrid found himself being slashed so many times that he couldn't advance towards Discord, and his rage was getting worse with every blow.

Discord summoned more dark lightning bolts, rained meteors from the heavens and spikes made of solid metal to keep up his assault. Everything brought forth by his unrestrained chaos was actually getting through the Immortal Phoenix's invulnerability and damaging Indominus.

"Whatcha gonna do now punk? You can't beat me if you can't get past my powers." But Discord was going to wish he hadn't taunted Indominus, because if there was one thing that could make the hybrid more powerful, it was making him more angry.

Suddenly Indominus bellowed a tremendous roar that created a shockwave made out of the golden flames. It spread over the battlefield and disintegrated every projectile and attack that Discord had been throwing at him. With nothing getting in the way now and his mind filled with more rage than ever, Indominus charged toward Discord and the two hybrids caused a massive shockwave of energy when their fists collided. This shockwave was so massive that it could be seen clear from where Fluttershy and the monsters were. When the energy dissipated, Discord and Indominus were locked in a slug fest with their attacks.

Each of them were trading blow for blow and their punches caused sparks of lighting to burst forth from each collision. Discord's chaos infused punches were dealing as much damage as Indominus's flame covered claws. He didn't have enough time to heal from each blow because he had to move as fast as Indominus in order to keep pace with the hybrid. It was the most intense battle Discord had ever experienced, and he had to find some way to end it. After their blows connected with each other's faces and separated them, Discord knew he had to end the battle with one final attack.

He could see that Indominus was getting worn out from the conflict and knew that his previous attacks had done a number on him. This next attack was going to decide the outcome of the fight.

"COME ON DISCORD, LET'S FINISH THIS," Indominus roared as he charged back towards Discord again.

"Yes, this fight will be finished Indominus, and then this rampage will be over."

Discord started gathering power within his mouth as he charged towards Indominus. Both beasts were gathering more power as the gap between them got closer. As they got mere inches from each other, both of them released their blasts upon each other at point blank range. The resulting collision of raw power between both hybrids caused a massive column of the mixed energies to erupt and engulf them.

"DISCORD!!! INDOMINUS!!!!" Fluttershy was scared out of her mind upon seeing the hybrids being engulfed by the energy.

The monsters all shielded her as the explosion caused lightning strikes and shockwaves to be sent and felt clear to where they were. King of Yamimakai and Zoa were throwing blasts all over the sky, destroying any stray lightning bolts that got too close to Fluttershy. For five agonizing minutes, the monsters did everything they could to protect Fluttershy from the after-effects brought on by the collision. When the lightning finally stopped and the energy column began to decrease, Red-Eyes flew Fluttershy over to the battlefield to see who had come out on top. The environment had been devastated and torn apart from the impact which showed that they had used a tremendous deal of power to cause such damage.

As they got closer, both dragon and pegasus could see the outlines of two bodies within the energy that was still there. When the energy completely vanished, Fluttershy couldn't believe it. Both Discord and Indominus were bent over and completely exhausted from the toll that the fight had taken on them. Each of them had their fair share of wounds and for once, Indominus's marks were not a result of the Immortal Phoenix. Discord had never had to summon so much chaos magic before and it had drained him of most of his magic and stamina.

"Discord are you alright," Fluttershy said as she flew over and hugged him.

"I'll be fine Fluttershy, just gonna need some time to recover from that fight. I'm more concerned about Indominus."

Red-Eyes had put Indominus's arm over his shoulder to help keep the hybrid from falling over. They were all concerned with how beat Indominus looked, to Fluttershy he seemed even more exhausted than his fight with the Wonderbolts. But what surprised them was that Indominus wasn't the Immortal Phoenix anymore. Somehow the collision had forced him out of the Immortal Phoenix state and drained him of his anger.

"Are you going to be alright Indominus," Red-Eyes said in a concerned tone.

"Don't worry Red-Eyes, I've got the endurance to take something like that. What I'd like to know is, how did I change back to normal? I can't even hear the Devil inside my head, what did you do Discord?"

Discord and Fluttershy flew over and helped carry Indominus back to his home, since the Lord of Chaos was too drained to teleport them.

"I guess my chaos magic must've been strong enough to overwhelm the Immortal Phoenix. It must've done quite a number on the Devil as well for him to be silent. Serves him right for thinking my chaos couldn't match up to rage."

When they touched down on the island again, Discord had the other monsters help Indominus inside so he could recover. Once they were inside, Discord pulled Fluttershy aside to tell her what he had experienced.

"Discord what happened out there?"

"I was wrong Fluttershy, that power is more destructive than I thought. I even got to see inside his mind and I encountered the Devil for myself. His influence over Indominus is more deadly than I thought. It took me using the full extent of my power to beat the Phoenix down, and I couldn't do it any other way. If Rainbow Dash had been involved in this conflict, then I'm sure his rage would've been even more destructive than I could handle."

"Are you saying that you can't change him back if he gets out of hand again?"

"Let me put it this way Fluttershy. If Indominus got enraged enough, I don't think any force in all of Equestria would be able to stop him. The only way anypony is going to win a fight against Indominus, is to not fight him in the first place."

This left Fluttershy with deeply troubled thoughts, if it took his full power for Discord to stop Indominus, then what chance did anypony else have of stopping him? She had a lot to tell her friends, and Rainbow needed to know this above all else. For now, she and Discord had to see how Indominus was recovering from the fight. They headed inside to check on their friend and see how he was doing.

Author's Notes:

Now that was one heck of a fight. Discord's full power is just enough to overwhelm the Immortal Phoenix. So it turns out that Indominus's supposedly invulnerable power can be beaten after all. With this bit of info, do any of think that Soarin will be able to overwhelm Indominus like Discord did, or will he fall like before? Round 2 is on the way.

Last Night Out

As he and Fluttershy walked back inside his house, Discord found Indominus resting on a couch with the monsters looking over his wounds.

"How's he doing boys?"

"His body's healing slowly from that battle Discord," said Red-Eyes. "Being in that form for so long and in a fight of that intensity really took a toll on him."

"That's exactly how he was after the battle with the Wonderbolts, only he had far more wounds that time," said Fluttershy.

Discord leaned over to get a better look at the marks on the hybrid's body. While most of them were healing, the wounds that were caused by the Immortal Phoenix still lingered like before. Discord was seeing first hand the after effects of what happened when Indominus was consumed by the Devil in his heart and used the Immortal Phoenix for too long. He hadn't felt sadness for something so painful since the day Fluttershy had said they weren't friends. Fluttershy could see the pain in his eyes as he stared at the wounds on Indominus's body. She flew up to his head and gave Discord a comforting hug.

"I know it's hard Discord, all of us were hurt too when we saw this for the first time. Except that time he chose to give up on his love with Rainbow Dash, which made it more painful."

"But I brought these wounds on him Fluttershy. I got into this thinking I could help him with his rage, instead I only ended up bringing him more pain. The only way I could stop his rampage was to overwhelm him with my chaos and it only hurt him in the end."

"I don't blame you Discord." Everyone was surprised to see that Indominus was still awake and not too exhausted from the fight. The hybrid got up from the couch and stared Discord right in the eyes. "You had to find out for yourself if you could stop the Immortal Phoenix, and now we know that you can to a degree. Don't go beating yourself up for this Discord, I can take the pain now. I endured much worse when I hurt Rainbow Dash, this is nothing compared to that."

"Wow Indominus, that was deep," said Fluttershy as Discord had been rendered speechless. She then saw Indominus extend a fist for Discord to bump.

"Ok my hybrid pal?"

"Ok Indominus," Discord replied as he and the dinosaur bumped fists and did their trademark handshake. The monsters roared in rejoice at seeing the two hybrids being good friends despite the brawl. "Indominus, thanks for the confidence. In return, I want you to have this." Discord conjured up a small orb of strange energy in his hands, which left everyone confused.

"What is that Discord?"

"A tiny portion of my chaotic energy. This should restore all your wounds, given that it was able to overwhelm the Immortal Phoenix, it should also be able to heal all the damage. Think of it as my token of appreciation for being such a good friend to me."

"Discord that is so sweet of you," said Fluttershy. "He's definitely left a good impression on you."

"Thank you Discord, I'll take this orb without hesitation. By the way Fluttershy, don't you think he deserves some kind of reward for all this?"

"Yes he does Indominus, and I know just what to do."

As Indominus took the orb, Fluttershy surprised Discord with a gentle kiss on the cheek. The Lord of Chaos's eyes turned into hearts, steam was pouring out of his ears and he collapsed onto a fainting chair as Indominus swallowed the orb while watching the moment. Indominus's body started glowing brightly and the monsters cheered as the wounds across his body began healing faster than before. In just under a minute Indominus's whole body had been fully healed by Discord's power and there wasn't a mark on him to indicate they had fought.

Indominus was glad to see that he was fully restored, but felt himself chuckling at the blissful expression on Discord's face.

"The first one is always the most magical, right Discord?"

"I feel as if I'm sitting on a field of cotton candy while singing roses are fluttering about my face." Even Fluttershy couldn't help but giggle at the comment Discord had made out of sheer bliss. When he realized what he had just said, Discord jerked his head up in shock.

"Wait wait wait, whoooaaaa......did I really say that?"

"Yes you did, and I thought it was quite adorable," Fluttershy said while hugging Discord. "I hadn't forgotten how you and Indominus sang to me and Rainbow at Las Pegasus. I've just been looking for the right moment to give my thanks, and this opportunity was perfect. For being the Spirit of Chaos, you sure are a delicate flower Discord."

"I can't help it when I'm around you Fluttershy," Discord snapped his fingers and became a giant red rose. "I just feel so fragile and gentle when it comes to making you happy." With another snap he changed back to his normal self. "I'd do anything for you and Indominus, you two are the only ones who've truly accepted me for what I am."

"Oh Discord, I've accepted you because I got to know you better. You and Indominus also click because both of you can bond on your own unique level. Once the others see this caring and protective side you have, I'm sure they'd warm up to you like we have."

"You know, you're right Fluttershy. In fact, I have the perfect idea of how I can possibly do it with Rainbow Dash." He turned to Indominus and asked him an unexpected question. "Indominus, how would you and Rainbow Dash like to go on a double date with me and Fluttershy?"

"A double date, Discord?"

"Yes Indominus, a double date. I know you're still new to these kind of terms, but basically it's when a pair of couples go out on a date and spend the night together. It could be a new experience and besides, when have you taken Rainbow out since your honeymoon?"

Indominus had to admit that Discord did have a point. He had become so preoccupied with the Wonderbolt business that he hadn't taken Rainbow out to enjoy a night on the town. With all the pressure of dealing with his inner Devil, fighting the Wonderbolts and rekindling his bond with her, Indominus had been long overdue for a night out with his girl.

"Alright Discord, I like the idea of a double date. But what about the rest of my family? I can't leave them out of too much in my life."

"They can tag along for part of it, and when Scootaloo gets tired then that'll be their cue to take her back home. Besides, don't you want another chance to serenade Rainbow and make her feel important and special again? You can't deny that you want to feel her smothering you with love and affection."

"Oh she smothers me plenty Discord, if you know what I mean. Regardless, I would like to make her feel special again with all that's happened. What do you think Fluttershy, are you ok with this?"

"I like the idea of the four of us going out for the evening. I don't mind having the rest of your family tag along for a while, I'm curious to see how Scootaloo's been doing with all that's happened. But I'll still make time for you Discord."

"Oh Fluttershy stop it, you're gonna make me start blushing." Discord's whole face was turning a bright shade of red as he spoke. Fluttershy giggled at the cute sight, seeing that he was really looking forward to the date that awaited all of them.

So the three of them began arranging plans for the date. Discord and Fluttershy would pick up the family later in the evening, they would go for a grand night on the town for dinner and fun. They would make sure to avoid the really romantic stuff until after the dinosaurs had taken Scootaloo home. After that, then Indominus would have his chance to serenade Rainbow again and make her feel like the most special pony in all of Equestria. Once everything was settled, Discord transported himself, Indominus, Fluttershy and all the monsters back to her cottage to finish their Tuesday tea.

Later in the afternoon after he said his farewells and gave his thanks for the unique day, Indominus made his way towards the school house. He was completely unaware that Discord was waiting for the right moment to teleport there and give the plans for the night. Indominus found everyone waiting for him at the entrance, including Rainbow Dash.

"Hey Indominus, how'd your time with Discord go?"

"It was a rather interesting time Scootaloo. I got more out of it than I thought."

"What exactly did you want to see him for anyway?"

"It was for personal reasons Delta, let's just leave it at that."

"Wait. Don't tell me you went and used your power on him?"

Indominus knew he couldn't lie in front of Rainbow Dash when she was onto something, mainly because he didn't know how to lie. So Indominus went and spilled the beans of what his day had been like.

"He wanted to test the Immortal Phoenix and see if he could find a way to stop it."

"Discord wanted to fight the Immortal Phoenix, and you actually went along with this?" Rainbow was getting slightly angry at hearing this. "I thought you said that you would never use that power again until you overcame your anger. Now you just decided to use it anyway?"

"It wasn't my fault Rainbow, I was against it but he convinced me that it would be a good idea."

"How in the wide world of Equestria could testing a destructive power like that possibly be a good idea?"

"Because I wanted to help him so he wouldn't worry about hurting you again."

Rainbow and the others were surprised when Discord's voice came out of nowhere, until he appeared in front of them with Fluttershy beside him.

"Indominus told me about the rampage he went through Rainbow Dash, and how he hurt you in the process. It tore me apart to hear the pain in his voice from hurting the one pony he cares most about. I would feel the same way if I did something that I would bitterly regret to Fluttershy. That's why I wanted to see if my power could possibly suppress that rage to prevent a repeat performance. Unfortunately the Immortal Phoenix was stronger than I thought, and I even met the Devil myself." Hearing this changed Rainbow's entire demeanor at once.

"Y-you mean...you actually met the demon that's the source of Indominus's rage, and he overpowered you?"

"Yes Rainbow, he took over Indominus and it took the full force of my power to cancel out the Immortal Phoenix. I also somehow managed to suppress that demon for a while, but in the end, that rage was more than I could handle. So don't blame Indominus for any of this, I just wanted to help him and be there for him through his time of need."

"Wow Discord, I'm thoroughly surprised by this kind of devotion. I've never seen you so concerned for anypony other than Fluttershy."

"Well Indominus is the first friend I've been able to truly relate to, and I wanted to show that he can depend on me. But I'm not here to weave sorrowful tales, me and Fluttershy wanted to know if you would be up for joining us tonight Rainbow Dash."

"Joining you for what?"

"We were wondering if you and Indominus would be up for joining me and Discord on a double date," said Fluttershy.

"A double date with you guys? Hmm, well after all the drama and stress brought on us by Soarin and the Wonderbolts, I could use a good night out. I assume you already agreed to go too, right Indominus?"

"Heh, can't get anything past you can I, Rainbow?"

"Except for telling me about you-know-what. I'll figure it out in my own way soon enough."

"Until then, I will resist the best I can."

"So I guess this means that I'll be at home again, right Rainbow," Scootaloo asked with a slightly upset voice.

"Not this time squirt. I'd say it's about time the whole family spent an evening out for once. That is, if it's not too much trouble for you two."

"No of course not Rainbow, they can all tag along," Discord said as he said within his mind, "I knew she'd bring it up first."

"Then it's settled. Tonight, we get to spend a night on the town as a family." The raptor squad, Scootaloo and T-Rex rejoiced as the outing was set in motion. Discord and Fluttershy shared a hoofbump at how well their plan was working.

"Alright then Rainbow, we'll meet you at your place around sundown," said Fluttershy.

"Sounds good Fluttershy, and Discord, are your monster pals going to be tagging along too?"

"Oh they'll be joining us much later in the evening. Don't stress about it, I've got everything under control. Now until tonight, we bid you all sayonara and arrivederci." Discord snapped his fingers and he and Fluttershy disappeared in a flash.

"Those two have really gotten closer for them to suggest a night out with all of us," said Rainbow.

"He's not such a bad guy once you get to know him Rainbow, and I speak from experience. Now we've got a full afternoon until tonight, any ideas?"

"Oh, I can think of a few." Scootaloo took note of the growing seductive tone in Rainbow's voice and knew what was on her mind.

"Come on Rexy, how's about we let my mom and dad have their 'fun' for a while?"

"You read my mind Scootaloo. Let's go Blue and see which fillies need any help with their talents today."

Scootaloo and the dinosaurs took off while Rainbow and Indominus went back to the clouddominium for some 'private' time. When they got inside, the first thing Rainbow did was tease Indominus up towards the bedroom by rocking her tail back and forth. The hybrid couldn't keep his eyes off Rainbow's tail as he followed her helplessly into their bedroom and onto the bed. Once he loomed over Rainbow's body, she gently held his face and spoke softly to him.

"Sorry if I got upset with you earlier Indominus, but I thought that you had forgotten your promise about not using the Immortal Phoenix. After what I had experienced, I couldn't stand to think that you would intentionally want to go through that pain again."

"Didn't mean to scare you Rainbow, Discord was just trying to give his help with this ordeal. I needed to know if he could help, and he can overtax it. If push comes to shove, he can stop the Wonderbolts and overwhelm the Immortal Phoenix so I can't hurt you again."

"That's good to hear, now since we're going to be out for tonight, how's about we get all our fun and loving in right now? I'd like to try and see if I can figure out what part of me turns you on the most."

"Then take your best shot my Dashie."

"Ooooh, by the time I'm done with you, you'll be wishing you hadn't challenged me my scaly stud. Now let the fun begin."

Rainbow increased to Indominus's size and caught him off guard by flipping the dinosaur onto his back. She then began caressing Indominus's face with her hooves while kissing him deeply. The gentle touch of her hooves and the deep heat from the kissing was causing Indominus's internal temp to rise. He was being put in warm bliss through Rainbow's attempt to figure out what he liked most. After fifteen minutes of caressing and deep kissing, Rainbow broke away to give Indominus time to breath.

"So tell me big boy, am I getting close?"

"You....you can try...all you want Rainbow......but I'm not gonna tell you yet."

"Oh really?" Rainbow gently dragged her tongue along the full length of Indominus's lower jaw. She could feel him shivering slightly from the hot touch. "Then let's see what you think of this, hot stuff."

Rainbow got off of Indominus so he could look at her. He was about to speak when Rainbow busted into a seductive dance while shaking her flank.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-GBTIpUlac

When she was done with her little teasing dance, she found Indominus with wide eyes and his mouth agape.

"So, is there anything particular you're thinking about now?"

"I-I-I.......there are no words."

"Ah, so you did like it I see." She crawled up Indominus's body and stared into his eyes. "You can't deny that you loved it."

"It.....was....insanely hot and really cute." Rainbow leaned forward and kissed Indominus right under his eye and then gave him a soft stare.

"I always liked your honesty. But can't you give me even a little hint?" Indominus thought for a minute, and came up with a perfect solution.

"Do you celebrate any special days in this world Rainbow?"

"Yes we all do. Why do you ask?"

"Well because I was training in the dragon lands last year so I didn't get to celebrate any with you."

"Oh, now I see what you're talking about. You're referring to when we celebrate Hearth's Warming Eve. But that holiday is still quite a few months away, why are you asking about it?"

"Because that's the day when I'll tell you." Rainbow's eyes widened in delight.

"Are you saying that you'll tell me on Hearth's Warming Eve?"

"When all this Wonderbolt drama is over, when that day comes and you still haven't figured it out, I will tell you what part of you I love the most. It'll be my gift to you for everything you've done for me."

"I'll make that fire so grand and hot, you won't feel even your little junior when we'll make the most amazing love to each other. I can't wait for that day to come, it'll be special for both of us."

Indominus then flipped Rainbow onto her back as he slid himself into the right position.

"Trust me Rainbow, that day isn't the only thing that's coming. Now, just make love to me."

Much later in the afternoon as the sun was getting close to setting, Scootaloo and the dinosaurs returned home from another successful day of crusading. T-Rex and the raptors had helped at least ten fillies alongside the Crusaders and they were becoming even more welcomed by the young ponies. For Tyrannosaurus however, just getting to be with his family was good enough, especially with everything that Rainbow and Indominus were dealing with. The moment they stepped inside, the dinosaurs all picked up a familiar scent they had recognized over the past week.

"Something tells me that those two had another lovely time together."

"How can you tell T-Rex?"

"Uh Scootaloo, that's not something we're at liberty to talk about."

"We'll tell you when you're older," Delta said hoping that she wouldn't ask anymore questions.

A minute later and they heard the bedroom door open and saw Rainbow fly down the spiral staircase. She had such a content expression on her face and her eyes still had a seductive stare to them. It didn't take Scootaloo or the dinosaurs long to guess that Rainbow must've had another wonderful experience.

"So, how did your time with him go," Blue asked while trying to be discreet.

"I'd say that he'll be in bliss until Discord and Fluttershy show up. He's definitely getting better, and I'll know his secret by Hearth's Warming Eve."

"That's the day he'll tell you Rainbow? Indominus can be quite the romantic at times."

"That he can be Scootaloo, either I find out by then or he'll tell me himself. I'm honestly kind of eager to find out what he likes most about me."

"I'm sure the moment will be worth it Rainbow. Now I'd better see how my brother is relaxing in his state of bliss."

The dinosaurs headed up to the bedroom while Scootaloo and Rainbow chilled in the living room catching up on each other's days. They found Indominus lying on the bed with his tongue hanging out and the most satiated look on his face.

"Did you enjoy yourself brother?"

"Oh T-Rex, Rainbow's trying so many different ways to figure out what part of her I love most. This time she got really bold with her legs."

"Well now Indominus, at this rate she'll make you into a scaly puddle of happiness before she figures it out," said Echo.

"Have you told her yet, or is she getting close to figuring it out for herself," asked Charlie.

"Nope, she hasn't figured it out yet, but regardless, I'll tell her everything on Hearth's Warming Eve like I promised."

"Yeah, Rainbow told us about it like it will be the most amazing day of her life," said Blue. "I imagine that mating experience will be more wild than the others."

"She told me that she'll ignite a fire within my core so that I'll be feeling eternal bliss."

"Oh ho hoo, seems that you'll get quite the gift brother. Do you have any ideas for a gift for her?"

"Actually I do T-Rex, one that she'll love as much as I will."

"What do you have in mind?"

"Well, once all is said and done and all these problems are dealt with, I'm going to make love to her while I'm using the Immortal Phoenix."

The dinosaurs were speechless after hearing Indominus's answer. Mating with Rainbow Dash, while he was using the Immortal Phoenix? It sounded like an incredibly hot idea, but one concern crossed their minds.

"Surely you don't intend to do that with the Devil in your heart?" Indominus got up from the bed while he still had the satiated look in his eyes.

"I said when everything is done and squared away, that includes dealing with the Devil. I'd never put Rainbow in danger again. I want to give her as much pleasure as she's been giving me, and lay all my love down for her."

Tyrannosaurus and the raptor squad nuzzled their hybrid brother for his dedicated devotion and wanted to make Rainbow happy.

"We're proud of you brother," said Blue.

"You've certainly come a long way since you first arrived here," said T-Rex.

"We know you'll make Rainbow insanely happy," Delta added.

"We also know that you'll own both the Wonderbolts and the Devil," said Echo.

"Because out of everyone in our family, you're the strongest one there is," said Charlie.

"Thanks you guys, it means a lot to have this kind of support." Indominus was so grateful for the support he had been receiving from everyone. He had and his siblings went back downstairs to wait for their party guests to arrive.

The rest of the time until sundown was spent peacefully waiting for Discord and Fluttershy to arrive. Blue and her girls killed time by pacing about the clouddominium while the rexes chilled with their girls. Both Rainbow and Scootaloo were gently snuggling against Rexy and Indominus's faces while enjoying being held by the dinosaurs. T-Rex had Scootaloo gently tucked under his arm and giving soft licks to her cheek. As for Indominus, he and Rainbow were giving each other sweet talk, he gently stroked her mane with his claws and she gave him soft kisses. It was another beautiful and peaceful family moment, but it was going to be one of the last few they would have.

A light knocking at the door caused the raptors to come running to the living room.

"Well everyone, it's time for our night on the town," Rainbow said as she opened the door, but was surprised when a red carpet rolled out and Discord appeared at the end of ir.

"Greetings dinosaurs and pegasi, it is my great pleasure to welcome all of you for a night of frivolity with me and dear Fluttershy."

Fluttershy calmly flew in after Discord and hovered beside him.

"Did you really have to roll out the carpet even though you told them about this earlier?"

"Oh Fluttershy you should know I can't help but make things more grand and extravagant. But this isn't just for me, it's for my good friend Indominus and his family."

"Thanks for letting us join you and my parents tonight, Discord," said Scootaloo. Discord lowered himself down to Scootaloo's level so he could talk to her.

"Your father has been a very good friend to me Scootaloo. I can see that Princess Luna was wise to pick him, T-Rex and the Velociraptors to be your family. I've learned about everything that all of you went through when I first met Indominus, and it left me quite surprised. In just one day, Indominus accepted me just like Fluttershy and I've grown fond of having him around. I owe it to him for helping me feel more accepted by Equestria." Fluttershy and Scootaloo were nearly in tears from hearing Discord's beautiful speech.

"I'm so proud of you Discord," Fluttershy said as she and Scootaloo hugged Discord. "You've made such progress during your time with Indominus."

"That I have Fluttershy," Discord glanced over at Rainbow as she watched. "You picked a truly special husband Rainbow Dash, he's a rare gem in this world."

"I Know Discord and he's certainly changed me too. Now enough mush for one night, how's about we hit the town?"

"My thoughts exactly. Alright everypony gather around me." The dinosaurs and pegasi gathered around the Lord of Chaos and with a snap of his fingers, Discord transported all of them to Ponyville. "Now follow me friends, we're off to our first destination."

So the family followed Discord and Fluttershy through Ponyville, with no idea where they were heading for their first stop. Through the whole walk, Discord kept making talk with the other dinosaurs to try and know them better like he did with Indominus. Fluttershy and Rainbow were talking amongst themselves about how they had been enjoying their time with their stallions. Rainbow even slipped how much Indominus was loving her attempts to figure out what he liked most, and it made her blush heavily.

"Rainbow Dash, this is so unlike you. I've never seen you so devoted to love and romance."

"I have Indominus to thank for that. He opened my heart to possibilities I never knew existed. Though I could say the same for you and Discord. You've gotten a lot closer to him lately."

"He's been so thoughtful and caring lately after finding out about Indominus's struggle. Plus I loved how they sang to us in Las Pegasus, your husband has changed Discord for the better Rainbow Dash. In fact, he's grown on me so much that I kissed him today."

"Really? That's rather bold of you Fluttershy."

"I know, I still can't believe it myself."

"Sorry to interrupt you girls, but we've arrived at our first location."

The group was stunned to see that Discord's choice for their night out was none other than Sugarcube Corner.

"Why'd you choose here for our first stop Discord?"

"Because Rainbow I'm not good when it comes to going to fancy places. Plus, the owner here knows what all of us like, especially the dinosaurs. Also, everypony that's inside has accepted the dinosaurs and won't treat them like outcasts." Rainbow remembered how their first dinner in Canterlot had some mixed results.

"I'm impressed Discord, you've really thought this through haven't you."

"Indeed I have Mrs. Dash. My hybrid friend and his family deserve the best for a night out and not being glared at by ungrateful ponies. Now let's go in, I'm sure all of you are eager for dinner." A chorus of growling stomachs from the dinosaurs and Rainbow spoke for them, and without another word the group headed inside.

Once they walked inside, the family was greeted with praise and compliments from the ponies that were having dinner themselves. Some were even giving compliments to Discord after hearing about what he had arranged for the lovers back on their honeymoon. They made there way over to the counter where they were greeted by none other than Pinkie Pie. Once she saw Fluttershy and Rainbow with Indominus, their family and Discord, her eyes lit up in excitement.

"Oh my goodness gracious! You two are on a double date! I can't believe this is actually happening."

"We're just glad to be spending this evening with each other Pinkie," said Fluttershy.

"So Pinkie, can we get a table for ten?"

"Of course Discord just follow me."

Pinkie led the group to a larger section of the shop where she lined three tabled together.

"Alright Discord you can do the honor."

"With pleasure," Discord said as he snapped his fingers and combined the three tables into a longer one with enough space for everypony to eat.

The group got themselves situated with Rainbow, Indominus, Scootaloo, Rexy and Delta on one side. Followed by Discord, Fluttershy, Blue, Echo and Charlie on the other side. Once they were settled, Pinkie pulled a pencil and notebook from her mane and proceeded to take their orders.

"So what'll everypony be having for dinner on this fine evening?"

"Me and Scootaloo will take a couple of hay sandwiches, with a cupcake on the side," said Rainbow.

"I'll have a daisy sandwich with a side of cake."

"Excellent. What about you Discord?"

"Me? I think I'll take a platter of carrot ginger sandwiches."

"Oh, but we don't make those here."

"That's alright Pinkie, I've got it covered," Discord snapped his claws and a platter of carrot ginger sandwiches appeared in front of him. But upon seeing that Pinkie was looking a tad upset he quickly added, "though I would like a side of your best apple fritters to go along with it."

Hearing this brightened Pinkie back up and she only had to guess on what the dinosaurs would want.

"Do I even have to ask what you guys want?"

"Apple fritters and cider," the dinosaurs all said in unison.

"Glad to hear it Guardians. It's great to see that your taste buds haven't changed. I'll be right back with your orders." Pinkie disappeared into the kitchen and began preparing the meals.

While they waited for their food and the family got lost in conversation, Fluttershy was giving Discord the once over for his choice of food.

"You shouldn't bring your own food in when Pinkie goes out of her way to make treats for everypony."

"Sorry Fluttershy but this isn't for me, it's for Indominus and the rest of the family. Though maybe I should've given it more thought."

"But he did make good by ordering apple fritters to go along with it, right Fluttershy," Tyrannosaurus asked.

"That's true, you did try to correct yourself and still ordered one of her treats. Also the very same ones that the dinosaurs love so much."

"Yeah, just what is it about apple fritters that you all seem to like so much?"

"Can't tell you Discord," said Indominus. "You have to find out for yourself."

"In that case, it doesn't seem that I'll be waiting long."

Pinkie returned balancing trays on her hooves and on her mane while walking over to their table. She slid the main dishes down the table and they ended in front of each dinosaur and pegasus. The side dishes she took off her mane and handed to each guest, including Discord's side order of fritters. The dinosaurs were nearly drooling when the dishes full of fritters were placed in front of them. She then popped back into the kitchen and returned with ten glasses and a huge bottle of cider.

Now it was Rainbow's turn to drool at the sight of the tall bottle of cider.

"How did you manage to get this much Pinkie," Rainbow said while watching the irresistible cider fill her glass.

"I have my methods, now I'll leave everypony and you lovebirds to your dinners. Just holler if you need anything." Pinkie returned to the other dinner guests while the family and couples dined in peace.

The dinner went by very well for everyone, Discord found the fritters just as tasty as the dinosaurs did. Scootaloo got to fill everyone in on her time with the Crusaders and how many ponies they had helped over the last year. Discord was intrigued to hear that the dinosaurs had been accompanying the fillies each day, and were helping the Crusaders as well. He even found he liked the taste of apple cider too, and Fluttershy realized why he had picked such particular sandwiches for dinner.

"Say Discord, those wouldn't happen to be from our tea parties, would they?"

"Yes they are Fluttershy. I chose them because I've grown to have quite the taste for them."

"So like you Fluttershy and you've acquired a taste for her food as well. How long will it be before you two are living under the same roof?"

Both Fluttershy and Discord froze on the spot and instantly had blushes on their cheeks. They were stammering on the spot, which indicated that Rainbow had hit a particular nerve. It was also the first time Indominus had ever seen Discord so nervous since the day he'd first met him.

"Relax you two, I'm just joking. But seriously Fluttershy, you and Discord are getting a lot closer than before."

"Give it enough time and you two could have a relationship like mine and Rainbow's."

"It...would be nice to have a relationship like that someday." Discord felt Fluttershy put her hoof on his paw.

"We'll see Discord, it might even be closer than you think." The dinosaurs hid chuckles as Discord's face turned bright red and glowed. They could see how much he loved Fluttershy, and how badly he wanted to stay with her.

Later after dinner had been finished and thanking Pinkie Pie for the meal, the group was ready to head off to the next destination. Along the way, Discord kept checking to see how Scootaloo was faring. He was surprised to see that she was still wide awake and not showing any signs of sleepiness. She would get to see Indominus serenade Rainbow Dash for the first time, including the rest of the family. Everypony found a surprising twist when Discord led them to the center of Ponyville, and in the center there wasn't a fountain, but a unique shop with glowing lights and was multicolored.

""The Chaotic Monster Cavern?" That's rather intimidating of a name don't you think Discord?"

"Well Celestia thought it was suitable. In fact she gave me permission to create this shop for the occasion. During the afternoon I spent part of the time asking her if I could have this for tonight. When I told her I wanted to do it for you and Indominus Rainbow, she and Luna agreed and even told quite a few ponies about it. Just listen, the boys are keeping them preoccupied as we speak."

The group listened and could hear ambiance and some laughter from within the shop. Indominus heard the distinctive growls of Red-Eyes and even King of Yamimakai inside too, and could tell that he was going to have a great time.

"Well I don't want to let all of Discord's effort go to waste, let's head inside," said Fluttershy. So the dinosaurs, pegasi and draconequess went inside and were instantly greeted by lots of ponies.

Indominus and his family were almost swarmed by eager ponies, but Swamp and Lava Battleguard stood between them and the excited ponies.

"Now now everypony take it easy," Discord said over the crowd. "The Family of a Lifetime is here for a good time, not being swarmed by eager mcbeaver ponies. Now how's about giving them some room to get to their tables."

The ponies calmed down and went back to their tables so the group could get to their tables. Swamp and Lava Battleguard led the way while the family gave high fives to some lucky ponies.

"Can you boys give me a number of songs to sing to Rainbow tonight?"

"Not to worry Indominus," said Swamp Battleguard. "Discord will give you all the info you'll need for serenading Rainbow tonight."

"Just focus on making her special again, and how much she'll love you afterwards," Lava Battleguard added.

The group sat down at tables that were in front of a stage where the other monsters were playing instruments for the crowd. Indominus was amazed by how well they were playing: Armored Lizard and King of Yamimakai had improved on their guitars. Garoozis was working the drums well and Red-Eyes played a great electric keyboard. Rainbow was in for a touching night as Discord took to the stage and silenced the band for a moment.

"Good evening everypony. I want to thank all of you for joining us on this lovely night and for holding out until the main guests arrived. This night, each of you are going to here something so beautiful that the last group of ponies who heard it, were touched beyond belief. A moment that is considered by some to be a true sign of love: Indominus Rex, Tyrannosaurus Rex, Blue, Charlie, Echo and Delta, will sing to Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo tonight."

The ponies erupted in great cheers and applause as the dinosaurs got up from their seats and began making their way to the stage.

"Indominus, did you know about this?"

"Trust me Rainbow, you and Scootaloo are gonna love this."

"We'll blow away your minds tonight," T-Rex said before giving Scootaloo a lick on the cheek and following his brother.

The dinosaurs all gathered on the stage and Discord conjured five more copies of himself then spoke to them.

"Alright you guys, all you need to do is touch my hand and the song will be passed right to your brains. Simple and easy."

The dinosaurs wasted no time and pressed their heads to each of Discord's lion paws. When they felt the knowledge inside their minds, they nodded to show that they had gotten the song. Discord disappeared from the stage and reappeared at one of the front row tables next to Fluttershy.

"What song did you give them Discord?"

"Just trust me Fluttershy, this is gonna be good."

"Are we ready brother and sisters?" The dinosaurs nodded their heads to Indominus to show that they were ready, The hybrid looked back at the monsters and told them, "alright, hit it boys."

Indominus: Bullies run and hide
When you're screamin' our names, alright
Tyrannosaurus: But let me tell you now
There are prices to fame, alright
Blue and Delta: All of our time spent in flashes of light

All Dinosaurs: All you ponies can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life

(Indominus and Rexy looking at Rainbow and Scootaloo)
Looking at the crowd
And we see your body sway, c'mon

(Echo and Charlie singing)
Wishin' we could thank you in a different way, c'mon
'Cause all of your time spent keeps us alive

All Dinosaurs: All you ponies can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life

Rainbow and Scootaloo got up from their seats amidst the wild cheering and went closer to the stage. The dinosaurs lowered their heads so the pegasi could see them more closely.

Indominus and Rexy: Yeah, heh heh heh, that's right

All DInosaurs: All of your time spent keeps us alive

The whole building erupted in cheers and clapping hooves. Even Fluttershy and Discord were joining in after being wowed by the dinosaurs' voices. Rainbow and Scootaloo flew up to nuzzle each of their saviors' faces then went back down as the dinosaurs resumed their song.

All Dinosaurs: All you ponies can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger than life

Blue: Yeah, every time we're down
Delta: Yeah, you can make it right
Echo: Yeah, and that's what makes you larger than life

All Dinosaurs: All you ponies can't you see, can't you see
How your love's affecting our reality
Every time we're down
You can make it right
And that makes you larger
That makes you larger
That makes you larger than life

Once the song was over and the cheering had died out enough for them to hear, Rainbow and Scootaloo hugged T-Rex and Indominus.

"That was truly awesome," said Rainbow.

"You've got quite the voice Rexy," Scootaloo added.

"What about us, girls?" Blue and her squad walked off the stage and over to the sisters.

"All of you were great up there. Just like all of us were back in Las Pegasus."

"Speaking of Las Pegasus, do you remember our first night there Rainbow? How we spent our first evening together as husband and wife?"

"Oh I remember alright Indominus. It got really wonderful, especially when you..decided...to..." the realization slowly dawned on Rainbow as she began to understand what Indominus was trying to say. "A-are you saying that-"

"I've been wanting to do this again after all that's happened Rainbow. So, will you join me up here?"

"Of course." Rainbow didn't waste a moment in increasing her size and standing across from Indominus on the stage.

T-Rex and the raptors joined Scootaloo back at the table and a hush fell over everypony as they waited to see what Indominus would sing to his girl.

"This song is my way of expressing my complete gratitude and gratefulness for all that you've done for me in the past few weeks Rainbow. It's my way of saying how lucky I am to have somepony like you in my life."

Rainbow had no words to say as Indominus motioned to the keyboard. Discord realized that this song was going to be a touching one and replaced the keyboard with a piano to make it more appropriate. Armored Lizard took over and began playing a soft tune.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqik0YECdsg

Nopony uttered a single word as Indominus took one of Rainbow's hooves in his hand and gently held her face with the other. She could see his eyes were starting to glisten and feel her heart pounding as she prepared herself for the hybrid's emotional song.

Indominus: You're the first face that I see
And the last thing I think about
You're the reason that I'm alive
You're what I can't live without
You're what I can't live without

You never give up
When I'm falling apart
Your arms are always open wide
And you're quick to forgive
When I make a mistake
You love me in the blink of an eye

I don't deserve your love
But you give it to me anyway
Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
You take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you

Rainbow pressed her hoof to Indominus's face and took over to give her feelings to him.

Rainbow Dash: You're the light inside my eyes
You give me a reason to keep trying
You give me more than I could dream
And you bring me to my knees
You bring me to my knees

Your heart is gold and how am I the one
That you've chosen to love
I still can't believe that you're right next to me
After all that I've done

I don't deserve your love
But you give it to me anyway
Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
You take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you

Rainbow/Indominus: I don't deserve a chance like this
I don't deserve a love that gives me everything
You're everything I want

I don't deserve your love
But you give it to me anyway
Can't get enough
You're everything I need
And when I walk away
You take off running and come right after me
It's what you do
And I don't deserve you
And I don't deserve you

Rainbow and Indominus shared one kiss with tears rolling down their faces. Nopony in the room could utter a single word, they were either shedding tears of their own or on the verge of crying. Not even Discord could keep himself together, the song had been powerful enough to touch his chaotic heart. He and Fluttershy held each other as they watched the couple part lips.

"That...was...so...beautiful Fluttershy."

"That was as beautiful as the proposal he made at the Gala last year. Rainbow's right, he really does have a heart of gold," said Fluttershy.

Back on the stage, Rainbow and Indominus just stared into each other's eyes. They had been too touched by the other to budge.

"Thank you Indominus," Rainbow said while wiping away the tears.

"You're welcome Rainbow," Indominus said as he pulled her in for a hug. "I'm not sure if I've said this already, but I want you to know that no matter what anyone says, you'll always be Rainbow Dash to me."

Rainbow nuzzled Indominus's face as the tears came back anew.

"This is why I chose you Indominus. You have the most golden heart in all of Equestria."

Scootaloo, Fluttershy and the dinosaurs were so moved that they got up from the tables, went onstage and hugged the lovers. They were even joined by the monsters whose dark hearts had been moved by the hybrid's voice.

"Ok everypony, let's give these amazing lovers a round of applause for that wonderful song," Discord said after getting his emotions back under control.

Everypony began clapping their hooves and the applause grew until the whole room was filled with more cheers and touched ponies. Yet in all the hubbub of noise and excitement, the Family of a Lifetime stood silent on the stage, held in a lovely group hug. Dinosaurs and pegasi, holding each other in a family embrace as solid proof of their unbreakable bond.

Afterwards, everypony had gone home and the group was underneath Rainbow's home.

"Discord, thank you for the amazing evening. It was so magical." Rainbow even held out a hoof for him and Discord returned the gesture with a hoofbump.

"You're welcome Rainbow, and I'm glad that you and your family had a good time."

"Getting to see our brother's kind heart was worth it," said Blue.

"You're definitely a nice guy to be around Discord," Delta added.

"Indominus made a really good friend in you," said Tyrannosaurus.

Scootaloo even flew over and hugged the Lord of Chaos around the neck.

"You're welcome to hang out with us whenever you want Discord." Fluttershy went and wiped away a stray tear that she saw forming on his face.

"Oh stop it, you're making me more emotional than I hoped."

"Well Discord, with all this love and appreciation, I'd say it's official that you've been forgiven by my wife and accepted by our family. I'll make sure to arrange a chaotic afternoon for just us, like before. For now some of us need to hit the hay, but we'll have our own day again later on, agreed?" Indominus held out his fist for Discord.

"Agreed my powerful hybrid friend," Discord said as he bumped fists with Indominus.

The family bid their goodbyes and went inside their home, leaving just Fluttershy and Discord.

"I'd say that tonight went pretty good, right Fluttershy?" Rather than getting a response, Discord received another kiss on the cheek from Fluttershy.

"I was truly amazed by how beautiful you made the evening Discord. We got to see the vulnerable, caring side of Rainbow Dash and how much she loves Indominus. It was like those two were speaking from their hearts in that song. I can definitely see us having a future together with this kind of dedication. Under all that chaos, you've got the same kind heart as Indominus."

Discord once again, had no response after being kissed by Fluttershy. She hugged him and before Discord took her home she whispered the same beautiful words Indominus had heard from Rainbow over a year ago.

"I love you Discord."

It had been an amazing night for the family and Discord, who had been touched like never before. But once the next week ended, Indominus would find himself battling the Wonderbolts again, and the battle would not be in his favor again.

Soarin's Horrific Change

The weeks of peace were about to come to an end. Neither Rainbow nor Indominus were aware of it, but Soarin had finally healed from the injuries they had brought upon him three weeks ago. As soon as the doctors gave him the ok, Soarin gathered the Wonderbolts for their next attack on Indominus. Spitfire had called in every new recruit from the last few tryouts and they were present as well. Each of them were unsure about carrying out such a dangerous task after hearing how Indominus had torn apart Fire Streak, Blaze and Wave Chill.

"So Soarin, how do you plan on getting that monster this time," asked Fleetfoot.

"Last time we fought him we ended up losing three of our own," said Surprise.

"What I have in mind is going to bring that monster down for sure, because I have his power mixed into this formula." Soarin pulled out the vile he had stored away and everypony could see it glowing red, just like Indominus's power. "I've seen the destructive power that monster has, and once I drink this formula, I'll have it as well. Then I'll use his own power to break him down and end that behemoth's life once and for all!"

"But you can't get carried away once you have that power Soarin," said Spitfire. "Remember, we're trying to kill that monster, not cause havoc all over Equestria."

"I'm aware of that boss, and this will avenge the lives of our teammates that he destroyed. Don't you want him to suffer for what he's brought upon us? For how he savagely killed them in front of us?"

Spitfire wanted to make Indominus suffer especially because of how he had killed the last three Wonderbolts. She had been powerless to stop him, even with the formula and had been at the mercy of the hybrid's monstrous rage. Indominus had also nearly killed her as well, an experience that neither she or the rest of the Wonderbolts would ever forget.

"Yes, I do."

"But Spitfire, what about Rainbow Crash," asked Misty Fly. "What happens if she and the rest of the family decide to fight again?"

With a grim, and solid look on her face, Spitfire gave the most stone cold answer the Wonderbolts had ever heard.

"She had her chance, she chose to stay with that abomination over us. She even had the nerve to attack us after all the destruction he brought upon our world. The rest of you will keep that so called family occupied while Soarin takes care of that beast. Rainbow Crash is mine to deal with. Oh, and just in case any of you have doubts about confronting her, let us take a solemn vow." The Wonderbolts gathered in a close circle and raised one wing each. "From now on, she is no longer, a Wonderbolt." The Wonderbolts all placed their wings in the center, as a way of showing they had turned their backs on Rainbow.

"Now there's no way you'll ever be one of us again Rainbow Crash," Soarin thought to himself as the Wonderbolts planned out their attack against Indominus and his family.

The next day, Indominus was heading towards Canterlot to meet up with Luna and Celestia. The last time he and Luna had met, she told him that Celestia had info regarding the Winged Dragon of Ra. It had also been a week since Discord had put the Devil out of commission, so the opportunity was perfect for Indominus. The dinosaur felt he needed to know everything he could about the dragon that had given him the wisdom to try and beat the monster in his heart. He was unaware that while he would be in Canterlot, disaster would soon be upon his family.

When the guards let him into the castle, he was greeted by the Princesses as they descended the stairs towards the foyer.

"It's great to see you looking so lively again Indominus," said Celestia.

"Thank you Celestia, things have been very peaceful for me since...that fight."

"Luna told me about your encounters over the past few weeks, including your meeting with Rs." Indominus leaned over and gently nuzzled the blue Alicorn. Celestia giggled at seeing the affection her sister was getting, and saw why she had been so concerned for Indominus before.

"In order for her to help I had to tell her everything Indominus. But judging by your response, I'd say it's alright?"

"Yes it is Luna, and yes Celestia, I do have a monster of pure rage dwelling within me. Thankfully, Discord took him out of action for awhile."

"Discord!? He's been helping you?"

"Yes, after telling me that I'm the first friend he's ever been able to relate to, he took it upon himself to try and help me through this. He wanted to test my power and....well, let's just say he got more than he bargained for. But he was able to suppress the beast inside me and that was a week ago."

The Princesses had no words after what they had heard. They had known Discord for years, and they'd never heard of him going to such lengths for anypony. For him to go to such an extreme degree just for Indominus, meant they had an even tighter bond of friendship.

"Wow, I had no idea that Discord would decide to be such a devoted friend," said Luna.

"Neither did I sister. I'll have to give him my thanks when this is over. But that's not why we're here, I have something that you must see Indominus."

"Does it have to do with that golden dragon I met a few weeks ago?"

"Oh it does Indominus, because his role in Equestria runs much deeper than even the Dragon Lord himself knows."

The alicorns led Indominus to the royal library and began scanning the shelves for a particular scroll. When they found it, they put the scroll on a long table for Indominus to examine. Like the scroll detailing Black Death's attack, this one was vastly different as well. It was a pure shade of gold and seemed to shine in the light, exactly like the scales on Ra's hide. When Celestia unraveled the scroll, it rolled until the very end of the table with a vast amount of info.

"Is this everything on Ra?"

"Indeed so Indominus," said Celestia. "He was much more than just a dragon, he was the true god of the sun. Millennia ago when we were still growing as alicorns, the Winged Dragon of Ra ruled over all of Equestria and defended it from all sorts of evil. This dragon's might was so grand that every creature in Equestria respected and praised him, and not just ponies."

"More than ponies and dragons looked up to him?"

"When I say every creature I mean EVERY creature, Indominus. Ponies, dragons, griffons, even the creatures of the Everfree Forest held this god in the most sincere respect. Anything that tried to stand against him, was easily overwhelmed and destroyed by Ra's limitless might. With his power being drawn from the sun itself, there wasn't much that could stand against him."

"So why did he decide to turn his back on Equestria," asked Luna.

"It says that Ra continued to rule over Equestria until the day when he would no longer be needed. I believe that was around the time when we finally learned to raise the sun and moon, sister. Ra probably felt that his time protecting Equestria was over and passed the torch onto us. However, the scroll says that should a soul ever be in desperate need, Ra would appear before them and guide that soul towards the right path."

"That explains why Smaug was so convinced that Ra could help me through all this."

"You're unique Indominus, because you have a version of the Winged Dragon's power dwelling with you. That's why you have a particular connection with him, and probably why he wants to turn you away from all your rage and hate. He's seen the light in you and the path you're meant to follow."

"He even said that if I kept Rainbow Dash close to me, I would be able to take down the Devil for good."

"Then you've been wise to heed his advice. More often than not, the things Ra says come to pass. He has never once led anypony astray."

"If what this sun god has told you is true, then once you beat the Devil, you'll be able to stop the Wonderbolts," asked Luna.

"That's pretty much what he told me. I just hope that I can get it taken care of before they decide to come after me again."

At that moment, the trio heard a loud roar echoing across Equestria. They left the library and went out on one of the balconies to listen more carefully. Indominus recognized the loud rumbles in the calls, and knew there was only one creature with a roar that strong.

"That's Tyrannosaurus, and it sounds like something urgent."

"You don't suppose something happened while you were away?"

"I highly doubt that Celestia. My brother and sisters can take care of themselves." But Indominus stopped himself when another somepony crossed his mind and caused his heart to race in panic. "Oh no, don't tell me it has to do with Scootaloo!?"

"You'd best get back to Ponyville and see what the commotion's about."

"I will Luna, and thank you for the info on Ra, Princesses. I really appreciate it and I promise I'll make sure to follow his advice."

Indominus spread his wings and immediately poured as much power as he could into them to get back to Ponyville. All that was racing through his mind was what could've happened to cause Rexy to roar in such a worried state.

Indominus continued to listen to T-Rex's roars as he got closer to Ponyville. Once he touched down, the hybrid zeroed in on his brother's location and found the calls coming from the schoolhouse. The hybrid began sprinting towards the school, and caught out of the corner of his eye, Rainbow Dash making her way towards the building as well. The pair formed up and kept pace with each other until they reached the school. But upon arriving, they could tell that something was terribly wrong.

Sweetie Belle and Applebloom were at the entrance, but they both looked horrified and deeply upset. Cheerilee and the raptors were doing their best to calm them down and Tyrannosaurus had an raging look in his eyes.

"Tyrannosaurus, what happened here?"

"Those scoundrels have gone too far Rainbow. They'll pay for this with their blood!!!"

"What are you talking about brother?"

"Indominus, it's the Wonderbolts. They.....they kidnapped Scootaloo."

Everything seemed to fall deadly silent after hearing what T-Rex said. Rainbow and Indominus were unable to believe what they'd heard, but as the reality sunk in, bitter rage stirred within them both. What happened next was so loud, that even the dragons heard it from their home. Indominus and Rainbow reared back and released rage filled roars that was so loud and strong, it caused the trees to bend at the force of their voices. The roars alerted and frightened the rest of the Mane Five who immediately made their way towards the school after hearing the angry roars.

"THEY TOOK SCOOTALOO!?" Neither pegasus or dinosaur could contain their anger. Scootaloo being harassed or neglected was one thing, but for the Wonderbolts to kidnap her just to get back at her family was going too far.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE SOARIN WOULD STOOP TO THIS LEVEL!! Or the fact that Spitfire would actually agree with this."

"How did this happen?" Indominus's eyes were starting to glow their deadly shade of red again.

"It happened about an hour ago," said Cheerliee as she walked over to the agitated dinosaurs. "A few of the Wonderbolts showed up and went to the Crusaders. I didn't know what to make of it and I couldn't understand what they were saying, but Soarin seemed determined to get Scootaloo. Before I realized what was happening, it was too late, he had the others restrain the girls, he knocked Scootaloo out cold, left a note with them and took off."

The rage was building in both lovers and they seemed on the verge of transforming out of sheer hatred. Before Cheerliee could hand them the note, Rainbow's friends showed up were instantly worried at seeing the rage on her face.

"Rainbow what happened," asked Twilight.

"I always looked up to them Twilight, and this is how they repay me. They let Soarin harass me, they attack my husband, and now....THEY'VE TAKEN MY DAUGHTER!!"

The Mane Five were stunned and horrified beyond belief. They had never seen Rainbow so enraged before, the Wonderbolts had finally gone too far.

"I hope Soarin's ready for a blood bath, because when we find him, he's going to suffer. When we catch him, you and I will tear out his throat, Indominus."

"I will take great pleasure in ending his life."

"First, we need to find out where they've taken her," said T-Rex to get their attention.

Everypony gathered around as Rainbow Dash read the note Soarin had left.

"Rainbow Crash,

You brought this on yourself for choosing that abomination you call a husband over your heroes. By turning your back on us, now we have turned our backs on you and your family. If you ever want to see your precious chicken again, tell the rest of your family to meet us at the battle sight where that beast killed our teammates. Oh and your husband will give himself up so we can hang his scaly hide beside the runway, or you'll be down one member. Better move, immediately."

The Mane Five could see Rainbow and the dinosaurs shaking with anger, and they seemed like they would explode. So the ponies immediately went to try and comfort the shaken family.

"Easy Rainbow, we'll help you get Scootaloo back," Twilight said, hoping Rainbow wouldn't snap.

"Don't let your anger take over Indominus. You don't want the Devil to take over again," said Fluttershy as she tried to keep Indominus and Rexy calm.

"It's ok darlings, we're not gonna let them get away with this," Rarity said as she comforted Delta and Echo.

"Soarin has crossed the line, and we'll see to it that he gets his kamupets," Applejack added while she and Pinkie attended to Blue and Charlie.

When Rainbow calmed down and looked back at Twilight, she was on the verge of tears.

"Why, why is all of this happening Twilight? Did I really mess up so badly that I deserve all of this?"

"None of this is your fault Rainbow, it's Soarin who's to blame. His refusal to accept that Indominus is better than him has driven him to such measures. Just like with Indominus's rampage from before, he's trying to provoke you. He's trying to make you look like the bad guy, and we've got to stop him for good."

"Twilight's right sugarcube, we can't let him torment ya'll like this anymore. But first, we gotta save Scootaloo without falling into this trap of theirs."

"Y-yeah, you're right AJ," Rainbow said as she wiped away a stray tear. "This has to end now." She turned to her hybrid husband. "Indominus, can you sense the Wonderbolts from here, and maybe see what they've planned for us?"

Indominus took a few breaths to clear his mind of the anger and focus.

"I'll see what I can find Rainbow."

Indominus then closed his eyes and tried to focus on smelling out their prey. The others watched him sniff the air, trying to pick up the scents of either Scootaloo or the Wonderbolts. As he smelled the air, Indominus picked up a scent he remembered: the stench of the Wonderbolts. He turned in the direction of the scent and shifted from smelling to sensing.

"What's he up to," asked Cheerliee.

"Indominus has a special ability that allows him to sense the heat signatures of other creatures," Twilight explained. "It allows him to see far beyond normal vision, and oncoming threats."

Indominus's vision picked up a large collection of bodies in the distance. He saw a few circling a smaller body that seemed to be tied up, and he knew it had to be Scootaloo. He then noticed a couple of heat signatures that were placed behind four storm clouds, each one positioned right over the bodies on the ground. Indominus had seen the trap the Wonderbolts had laid out: if he didn't give himself up, they would fire lightning bolts at Scootaloo.

Fortunately, Indominus was far smarter than the Wonderbolts thought he was and knew how to deal with their little plan. He turned back towards his family.

"Alright, I've seen where they're holding Scootaloo."

"Where are they holding her Indominus?"

"At the same field where their last performance was, and where I lost control of myself."

"How ironic that Soarin would choose the location where he was nearly killed for the 2nd round," said Twilight.

"They have it arranged where if we try to save Scootaloo, they'll have a few Wonderbolts fire lightning bolts at her." Hearing this nearly sent Rainbow into a panic.

"Then what are we waiting for? We have to get her away from them before-" Indominus cut Rainbow off with one claw placed gently on her mouth.

"We're going to get Scootaloo back, Rainbow. But to do that, we have to outsmart the Wonderbolts first. Beat them at their own game."

"So Ah reckon this means ya already have a plan in mind?"

"Yes I do Applejack, now listen up I'm going to need all of you to help save our daughter."

Cheerliee backed away and went back to check on the other colts and fillies while Indominus explained his strategy to his friends and family. Everypony hung on every word Indominus said, for the life of a filly was hanging in the balance. When he was finished, the group agreed to the hybrid's plan and made their way towards the battle sight.

Meanwhile at the battle site, Scootaloo was waking up after Soarin had taken her. She realized that her body had been bound and restrained by a rope. But what scared her was seeing the lightning clouds positioned around her. There would be no way for her to transform and escape in time before the lightning would get her. She spotted the Wonderbolts surrounding her and Soarin strolled over with a confident smirk on his face.

"So the little chicken has come around?"

"Who are you calling a chicken, especially since you don't have the nerve to face my father yourself." Scootaloo saw Soarin's eye slightly twitching from the comment.

"That abomination you call a father will be dealt with for good this time, and you'll get to be a witness to his demise. Along with that selfish ignorant idol of yours, Rainbow Crash."

As Soarin walked away from Scootaloo. Spitfire took his place. Scootaloo just couldn't believe that the pony Rainbow had idolized the most was actually going along with Soarin's sick plan.

"Why are you doing this Spitfire? My dad didn't do anything wrong."

"I hate to break it to you kid, but your so called 'father' killed three of our teammates. He tore them apart in front of us, was going to kill all of us."

"But Rainbow Dash stopped him, she saved your lives."

"Yes she did, but afterwards she chose to side with him and turned her back on us. She decided that she'd be better off with some deformed beast and make disgusting love it than to be with the Wonderbolts. Your sister has made too many mistakes kid, and now she and that monster must pay the consequences."

As Spitfire walked away, Scootaloo realized that reasoning with the Wonderbolts was out of the question. Soarin had painted such an evil picture of Indominus in their minds and had played him. Everything that had happened was meant to make Indominus seem like such a sadistic killing machine, that all of the Wonderbolts would want him dead. Which in turn would make them force Rainbow to decide who she would stay loyal to, and cause her to become an enemy in their eyes.

"Oh Rainbow Dash, I hope that you and Indominus can get out of this madness in one piece," Scootaloo thought to herself before everypony heard loud footsteps in the distance.

Following the rumbling steps was a set of familiar roars that all of them recognized, and it brought a wide smile to Scootaloo's face.

"I knew my guardians would come to help me," said Scootaloo as Tyrannosaurus and Indominus appeared out of the trees.

The rexes walked out of a group of trees, with the Mane Six and the rest of the CMC alongside them. Both dinosaurs were deeply angry at the Wonderbolts once they caught sight of Scootaloo in the center of the group. The Mane Six had thought that the way Scootaloo's former parents had treated her was rough, but this was just too much. Soarin had actually convinced the Wonderbolts to kidnap a filly, just so he could get back at a hybrid that Rainbow had chosen over him.

"I can't believe Soarin would stoop to such a low level," said Twilight after seeing Scootaloo's predicament.

"Soarin, Ah'd suggest ya best give Scootaloo back to us unless ya want ta deal with a repeat performance from the last time ya'll tried this."

"Not until that monster gives himself up like the note said and lets us kill him as payback for our fallen teammates."

"Please stop this insanity Soarin," said Rainbow hoping that at least one Wonderbolt might back her up. "You're doing this just to get back at me and Indominus, but I'm the reason all of this happened. I'm the one who told Indominus about everything, so leave Scootaloo and my family out of this. This is between me and you."

"Actually Crash, this matter no longer concerns you." Everypony felt Rainbow's heart get torn in half when Spitfire stood alongside Soarin. "You chose to side with that behemoth, and by deciding to stay with him, you've turned your back on the Wonderbolts. So in turn we have decided to turn our backs on you."

"N-no Spitfire, you can't be serious."

"I am dead serious Crash, now no matter how much you beg or plead, you will NEVER be a Wonderbolt!"

Rainbow's whole world seemed to freeze in place as the words escaped Spitfire's mouth. The words she had heard were more painful than any of the times she had been called 'Rainbow Crash.' She couldn't believe that one of her greatest heroes had completely sided with Soarin in his quest for vengeance. All Rainbow had done was keep Indominus from killing them and himself with the Immortal Phoenix, and yet they thought she had turned her back on them by defending her husband and herself. Now there was no way they would take her back, Rainbow's dream had been brought to an end for good.

Unable to accept the harsh words, Rainbow collapsed and broke down in front of them. Her friends rushed to her side and glared angrily at the Wonderbolts.

"I can't believe you heathens would say something like that to Rainbow," Rarity exclaimed.

"She's done so much for you, being part of your team was her life's goal. You party poopers are going to pay for this."

"All she wanted was to be one of you," said Fluttershy. "She did everything you asked of her, stood up for what she believed was right, and even saved your lives. After all of that, THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HER!?" Fluttershy bellowed at the Wonderbolts. "YOU WRETCHED EXCUSES FOR PONIES DON'T DESERVE ANY KIND OF REDEMPTION! NONE OF YOU ARE WONDERBOLTS, YOU'RE JUST A BUNCH OF PATHETIC COWARDS!!!"

"Well said Fluttershy, now I'm gonna enjoy this more than I should." Indominus walked towards the Wonderbolts with T-Rex joining him.

"You get any closer and we'll electrocute her, you idiotic beast." Soarin wasn't aware of it, but Indominus's plan was already in motion.

None of the Wonderbolts had noticed, but the raptor squad had not joined the others when they emerged from the forest. Indominus kept glancing up at the clouds and could see the four heat signatures closing in one the Wonderbolts that were waiting behind the lightning clouds. The raptors were silently sneaking up on them from above, waiting for the right chance to ambush the Wonderbolts before they could harm Scootaloo. It was the perfect counter trap for the pathetic attempt Soarin had made to get back at the Family of a Lifetime. As Tyrannosaurus and Indominus continued to advance towards the Wonderbolts and Scootaloo, the new recruits were trembling at the bared teeth and deep growls. Many of them were on the verge of losing their nerve and making a break for it.

"This is your last warning monsters, either stop and give up or you'll lose this little excuse of a pegasus."

The dinosaurs ignored Soarin's warning and kept advancing forward. He and Spitfire took a breath, ready to give the command to the hiding Wonderbolts, but the rexes were one step ahead. T-Rex and Indominus roared into the sky, signaling the raptor squad and catching the Wonderbolts by surprise. Before the lightning clouds could be struck, Blue and her girls tackled each Wonderbolt and pinned them to the ground while snapping at them with their jaws. Realizing they had been tricked, the rest of the Wonderbolts made a break for the sky as Indominus fired a blast to keep them away. Tyrannosaurus carefully slid the rope in between his teeth, and in one bite he freed Scootaloo who hugged his face.

"I knew you guys would find me," Scootaloo said as she kissed T-Rex's snout.

"We'd never leave you Scootaloo," T-Rex said gently. "But right now, your sister needs you badly."

Scootaloo saw the emotionally destroyed state Rainbow was in and instantly flew to her side.

"Rainbow Dash, I'm sorry she said those things to you." Rainbow just held Scootaloo close in the group embrace her friends were giving.

"It's over Scootaloo, my dream is gone forever. You heard what Spitfire said, I'll never be a Wonderbolt again."

"No, it's not over Rainbow. Don't you remember that Soarin is the real reason she's saying that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Scootaloo's right Rainbow," said Twilight. "Spitfire is only saying those things because Soarin has set Indominus up to be a monster, witnessed her teammates being killed because of Soarin's actions, and Soarin convincing her to want revenge."

"They're being mislead darling," Rarity added. "Spitfire's been traumatized by everything Indominus did to her team. Right now it's easy for Soarin to convince her and the others to want the dinosaurs dead. They see revenge as the only way to end the pain they've endured."

"We just have ta beat the tar outta Soarin, and then we'll get everything straightened out, RD," Applejack said hopefully. "We'll tell em' yer side of the story and get em' to see that Soarin was deceiving everypony the whole time. Just don't give up on yer dream yet, there's still a chance for this to work out."

As Rainbow listened to her friends' support, she looked out to see the dinosaurs trying to keep the Wonderbolts preoccupied. Blue and her girls were biting at the Wonderbolts' hooves as they tried to punch the raptors or throw them off. T-Rex and Indominus were swinging their claws, heads and tails about, trying to swat away Soarin's group and the newly recruited Wonderbolts. She saw that while the Wonderbolts might've turned their backs on her, her friends and family had not. They were continuing to support her and cheer her on despite every negative thing the Wonderbolts had said. Rainbow realized that she still had plenty to fight for and that her friends were right: there was still hope for her to have her dream.

"Thanks girls, I don't know how I'd get through this ordeal without you, or them."

"That's what friends are for Rainbow," said Pinkie Pie. "We've got your back through this. Now let's rough up these party poopers."

"This time we're gonna help you Rainbow. I've prepared a growing spell just in case we'd need it," said Twilight.

The Mane Six and CMC ran over to the battle as the rexes just finished slamming the Wonderbolts into the ground. The raptors managed to grab each of their victims by the necks and were shaking them about. Each velociraptor released their vice grips on the Wonderbolts and they landed in front of the rest. They regrouped with their family and stood as one massive family against the Wonderbolts. But Soarin wasn't too worried as he, Fleetfoot, Spitfire and Misty Fly helped the thrashed Wonderbolts back up. It was roughly fifteen Wonderbolts against the Mane Six, CMC and the dinosaurs.

"Yes, this is exactly how I want it. All of you together in one place to witness me using my newest creation." Soarin revealed the glowing formula and it caused a shiver of fear to course through Twilight.

"S-soarin, what is in that bottle?"

"This Princess, is the strength formula combined with that behemoth's DNA. I've seen what his power can do to others, and now I'll get the chance to use it against him."

"He's out of his mind," Twilight thought to herself as she saw the bottle glow the same color red as Indominus's guardian form. "I've seen what Indominus's DNA is composed of, and that mixing it with anything could have horrific consequences. With that formula combined with the DNA of a hybrid, the mixture could turn Soarin's own DNA into linguine."

"Don't do this Soarin, ya have no idea what yer messin' with," Applejack warned.

"Actually farm pony, I do. Now Wonderbolts, take your formulas and then give me some room. I'm honestly not sure what I'll become after I take this, so don't be too close to me when I change."

"Make sure to completely own that monster, Soarin." said Fleetfoot.

"Oh I intend to."

The Wonderbolts all spread out and began drinking their formulas. Soarin waited until they had drank their formulas before he started drinking his. The Mane Six watched in worry as Soarin poured the red formula down his throat until the bottle was empty. A few seconds later, the Wonderbolts started to grow in size and strength, but Soarin doubled over in agonizing pain.

"W-what's.....h-happening!?" Soarin could barely catch his breath as his body seemed to writhe in pain. Every nerve in his body felt like it was being torched in an inferno, and the flame was coursing throughout his entire being. "I thought this formula was going to help......but the pain.....it's unbearable!"

"Soarin, are you-" Spitfire was cut off as Soarin suddenly began to increase in size.

The Wonderbolt could see himself getting bigger and watched as his front legs began to change. His hooves began to morph into scaly clawed as his uniform got torn apart during the transformation. Soarin watched as his body began going through a transformation that left the Mane Six paralyzed. His fur was being changed into dark grey scales, his feathers were torn away as giant dragon-like wings took their place. Even his voice was changing, going to a dark and deep tone, similar to how the Devil within Indominus sounded.

"Yes. Yes, it's W..O.R.KING!!!"

Soarin stood up on his hind legs which had changed into long and slender scaly feet. Two rows of curved spikes started sprouting from his back and his tail became long and scaly like a serpent. His uniform was torn to pieces as his face went through the final part of the transformation and became the face of a giant monster. The mutated Wonderbolt bellowed a roar into the sky that shook the area around them.

"Oh yes, now this is what I call power," Soarin said after examining his new body.

Somehow he had managed to transform into a hybrid that was very similar to Indominus, but was on a much different level. In his mutated state, Soarin was considerably taller than Indominus and he looked far more menacing. His chest and eyes were giving off a sadistic green glow that was different compared to the red glow that came from Indominus's guardian form. It was a change that had given him the power to fight Indominus like a true monster. Soarin no longer resembled a Wonderbolt or a pony, through Indominus's DNA he had become a hybrid all his own.

"Now beast, let's finish what we started. Only this time, you will be the one buried in the dirt!"

Author's Notes:

Now this makes for quite the twist. Soarin has now become his own version of a hybrid, only his contaminated power is more than what it was the first time. Now the dinosaurs have to contend with the Wonderbolts, and a brand new hybrid. Find out in the next chapter as the second round of the devastation begins.
