Load Full Story Next ChapterOne day in Harmony City, Iris and her friends; Akari, Noro, Hiro, Mai, Chi and Gallent Seed were walking down the street with the bright sunlight shingling down on the beautiful city.
Iris was the daughter of Korra and Mako, the king and queen of friendship.
Akari wasn’t he daughter of Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry.
Mai and Hiro were the siblings of Asami and Bolin and they were Iris’s cousins.
Nori was the daughter of Kombu and he was married to Rarity. She could change into a merpony an she loves everything to do with fashion and nature.
Chi was Nova’s wisp sister and she lives with Sunset Shimmer and Nova. Gallent Seed was also the son of Starlight Glimmer and Sunburst. He was shy and didn’t really like sports. Iris was now thirteen-years-old as was Hiro. Akari was twelve, as was Mai, while Gallant was the youngest by eleven. Chi, the wisp, had become a permanent member of their group, proving time and time again just how devoted she was to her friends.
The friends attended Harmony High, a school where humans, ponies and even spirits attended to study and learn. P'Li was one of the teachers there. Despite being much older than the others, at least biologically, Chi still resembled a fifteen-year-old girl, and had the mentality of one as well. Still, Nova insisted that she attended school in order to experience what it was like being like every other kid. Chi only cooperated because she would be with her friends, but she often slept during most of her classes.
Mai had become a protege engineer, constructing extravagantly detailed race car tracks with her tools, models cars that actual worked, and even used her firebending to fix a few bugs in the mechatanks, which Asami allowed due to the child having full control of her bending powers.
Hiro trained in the pro-bending junior leagues, with Akari, as the firebender, and Gallant as the airbender, since they now allowed airbenders to play the game. However, they were still short a waterbender. They walked pass an alleyway when Iris suddenly stopped and looked inside the alleyway. Her friends stopped and walked back to her.
"Iris? What's up?" Akari asked.
"There's... something in here." Iris replied.
"Are you sure?" Hiro asked, looking into the alleyway, "Cause I don't see anything, except for those two blue eyes looking back at us.... wait what?!" Indeed at the end of the alleyway, there was a figure with blue eyes, looking back at them. Iris began to walk into the alleyway and towards the figure, "Iris, are you crazy?" Chi whispered.
Iris didn't respond. She continued to approach the creature when it gave a small roar at her and hiss. Iris stopped walking. "Hey... it's alright." she cooed, but the creature still hissed at her. Iris noticed that it's right wing was folded over something. Even in the darkness of the alley, Iris could see that the thing underneath the figure's wing was a human girl! And she wasn't moving! "Oh my goodness." she said. Now she knew why the creature was acting so hostile. It was protecting her.
Akari and the others slowly came up to Iris, "Iris, what is it?" Mai asked.
"There's a girl underneath the creatures' wing. I think she's hurt." Iris replied. The creature was still baring it's teeth at the six of them. "It's okay, we just wanna help you friend there." Iris cooed as she slowly approached the creature again. The creature could hear the calmness in her voice and the kindness. It took one look at it's injured friend and looked back at Iris. The creature stood up and moves a a foot away from Iris, removing its wing, revealing the girl. She looked at be about Iris's age. She had long, blonde hair and she was currently wearing worn out clothes that were badly tattered. Her white shirt was filthy and had multiple holes in it same as her pants and shoes. Iris carefully took her in her arms. "Mai, Hiro, Chi can you go get everyone, we'll take her to my palace." Iris stated.
The three nodded and headed off while the rest rushed towards Iris's palace with the girls' creature in tow. Soon she was laying in bed with Iris and her friends by her bedside as well as their family. Twilight Sparkle, Flash Snetrey, Asami, Bolin, Starlight Glimmer, Sunburst, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Fluttershy, Rarity, Korra, Mako, Ali, Mika and San, Iris's lizard spirit siblings, Sunset Shimmer, Nove Nightshade and the Queen's of Equestria, Queen Leliani, mother of Queen Celestia and Princess Luna.
They were all shocked to hear that Iris found a girl and creature in an alleyway. Now the girl was resting in Iris' bed with the creature by her bedside. Now everyone could get a good look at it. It was white and 24 feet long with a 44 feet long wingspan. Long, thin ridge running down the spine , triangular tail flukes and four small nubs on the head.
Nobody knew what exactly the creature was but based on what Iris and the others said about the way it first acted, they could guess that it was her pet... a very peculiar pet. "So you just found her in an alleyway with this... thing protecting her?" Rainbow asked.
"Yes. It seemed very protective of her." Iris said. "It hissed at me when I got close to her."
"Sounds like she's a pet." Chi grunted, earning a tail smack by the creature. "OW! Hey!" The creature gave a short hiss. "Why don't we leave the darling to rest?" Rarity suggested. Everyone nodded and decided to leave the girl to rest, hoping she would wake up soon.
The next day, Iris went to check on the girl, only to find her sitting up in bed, looking around the room. When she saw Iris, she squeaked in fear and hid beneath the covers. "No, no, no. It's alright." Iris cooed.
The girl slowly came from underneath the covers. "Really?" she squeaked.
“Do you wanna tell me your name?” Iris asked.
“C-C-Crystal Diamond.”
“Well Crystal, I wanna introduce you to my friends and family, is that okay?” Iris asked.
Crystal nodded. Iris exited the room and soon came back with her friends and family. "Well, nice to see your awake, young one." Leilani said, carrying a plate of food for Crystal. She graciously accepted the plate and quickly ate everything. Man, was she hungry.
"We're so glad you're alright." Fluttershy said. Crystal just gave them a small smile. "Not very talkative are you?" Rainbow asked, earning her a head shake from Crystal.
"Umm.. Crystal, what exactly is your creature here?" Akari asked, reffering to the creature beside her.
"S-She's my Light Fury Dragon."
"Dragon?!" Everyone exclaimed.
"Yes. Her name is Winter." Winter warbled and nuzzled her owners' face and licked it, making her laugh.
"Crystal. H-How did you end up in that alleyway?" Fluttershy questioned. Crystal's face dropped a little. "It's... a long story." she stated.
"It began when I was a baby..."
Flashback
Baby Crystal was born to two happy parents. She cooed in babbled in their arms. The mother looked to be in her thirties with long blond hair and blue eyes. The father looked to be five years old and had short, brown hair and green eyes. "She's beautiful, honey. What should we name her?" the father asked.
"Crystal... Crystal Diamond." The mother replied. Soon, the happy parents brought her home, but their home wa special. They lived in a place where dragons lived side-by-side. Many different kinds of dragons; big, small, fast, slow. Everywhere you look there were dragons. The parents entered the room where a baby Light Fury scampered over to them. "Hey Winter, meet you new friend." the mother cooed. She placed Crystal on the ground as she stared in wonder at the baby dragon in front of her. Winter scampered around baby Crystal and licked her gently on her face, making her laugh and coo. The parents awww'd at the scene.
Five years passed and Winter was fully grown Light Fury while Crystal was five years old. Crystal loved to ride Winter around the house, under her parents' supervision. The two of them were happy they were getting along. Winter took to the role of big sister for Crystal, protecting her from bullies, comforting her when she was sad and other sisterly acts.
But one day, everything changed forever.
There was a suddenly BOOM outside her house. Seven-year old Crystal woke up in a fright as her parents rushed into her room. "Mommy, Daddy." she cried. "What's going on?"
"Dragon hunters, sweetie." her mother said. "We have to get you and Winter to safety."
Crystal got out of bed and the family went to the parents room where a special gem layed. Her father placed it around her neck. "This gem will take you to a place where you'll be safe from the hunters."
"What about you and mommy?" Crystal asked.
"We have to stay here and save the dragons, but you and Winter must be safe first." Her mother replied. Crystal shed some tears and hugged her parents. "I'll miss you."
"We know sweetie but with love comes loss. One day, we will find each other again, promise." Her father promised. The family separated just as their door was broken down by hunters. "Quickly, now go!" her mother urged. Her mother pressed the gem and Crystal and Winter disappeared in a flash.
Flashback End
"After that, we ended up here. We hid in the alleyway, not wanting to draw any attention to ourselves." Crystal explained. Everyone was shocked and saddened by her tail. Pinkie and Hiro were crying. "That's the saddest story I ever he-ea-eard." Hiro sobbed.
"Crystal just how old are you?" Akari asked.
"I'm thirteen."
"So you and your dragon have been living in the streets for eight years?!" Rainbow exclaimed, receiving a nod from Crystal. The girls felt pity for Crystal. To be ripped from her home for protection and ending up in a strange place. "Well, if you want, you and Winter are welcomed to stay with us." Iris offered.
"Really?" Crystal asked.
"Absolutely, we can't leave you two out in the streets any longer." Korra stated, stepping forward. Crystal smiled at Korra. "Thank you." Korra nodded at her. Suddenly...
BOOM! A loud explosion occurred in Harmony City! “What was that?!” Mako asked.
“I don’t know, but it can’t be good.” Korra replied. The gang raced to city hall and saw the problem: three different dragons were attacking the city!
One was 66 feet long with a 38 feet long wingspan. It was purple with blue spots and had two heads and two spilt tails.
The second one was bird-like with a crown of spikes on it's head and spines on it's tail. It had a nasal horn and an overbite. It was 30 feet long and 10.5 feet tall with a 42 foot long wingspan. It was purple with yellow shading in it's wings.
The last one was 61 feet long with a 68 foot long wingspan. It had two long pairs of horn and double clawed wings. It was a mixture of yellow pink and magenta.
The three dragons were blasting the buildings and the ground. "What are those dragons?" Mako asked.
"A Hideous Zippleback, Deadly Nadder and Monstrous Nightmare." Crystal identified.
“We have to capture them before the destroy the city!” Korra said. Some on the benders were already fighting the trio of dragons. The earth benders bended rocks and launched them at the Nadder but it fired it magnesium fire at the rocks, breaking them easily. The Monstrous Nightmare set itself on fire and did a fire blast, sending the earth benders flying.
“Woah, that powerful!” Chi exclaimed.
Korra stepped forth and water bended. She launched the water at the Zippleback but it flew into the air. One head launched has and the other ignited it on Korra, sending her flying back. “Korra! Mom!” Mako and Iris cried.
More and more people approached the three dragons ready to take them down until “WAIT!” Crystal landed in between everyone with Winter. “Crystal, don’t They’re too dangerous!” Mai cried.
Crystal turned towards the three dragons who snarled at her. “Shhh... it’s okay. I won’t hurt you three.” She cooed. The Nadder roared at her but Crystal stayed in its blind spot (directly in front of its nose) and made her way to its chin and she scratched it. The Deadly Nadder calmed down and smiled at her. The Monstrous Nightmare and Zippleback looked at each other. The Nightmare approached Crystal and she turned, holding out her hand to the Stoker Class dragon. The Nightmare nudged its nose into Crystals’ hand and the Zippleback nuzzled her side.
Everyone was amazed and shocked. Korra and the others came up to Crystal, but the three dragons hissed at them. "No, no, no they're my friends." Crystal informed. The three calmed down.
"Crystal, how did you do that?" Twilight asked.
"I just showed them that they could trust me instead of attacking them. They've been through enough already." Crystal replied.
"Been through enough? What do you mean?" Sunburst questioned.
"See the scars on their faces and bodies?" Crystal asked. Korra and everyone else looked and they did see some scars on their faces and bodies. "What happened them?" Gallent asked.
"... Dragon Hunters." Crystal replied in a deep voice.
The group gasped softly. "Hunters did that?" Korra asked.
"Yes, these three dragons can be trained but they attacked everyone because they were all hurt by dragon hunters." Crystal explained. "These are arrow wounds , bola scars."
"Oh my goodness, poor things." Fluttershy cooed softly. "That sounds horrible."
That's when President Iroh appeared. "President Iroh, what are you doing here?" Korra asked.
"I heard about the dragons attacking and came as fast as I could but I see they have already been captured." He said, looking at the three nuzzling Crystal. "Now if you don't mind, I'll be taking them."
"Taking them?! You can't!" Crystal said. "They're my friends now."
"Crystal, they are too dangerous to be left in public." Mako said.
"But.. but." Crystal stammered. Just then, the ground began to quake and shake. "What is that?!" Hiro cried. Bursting from the ground was a another dragon. This one looked like alarge gulper eel with razor sharp teeth and rotating teeth in it's mouth. It was 7 feet and 6 inches tall and it was 95 feet long with a 26 foot long wingspan.
"Sweet Mother of Raava!" Iris cried. The dragon roared at everyone. "A Whispering Death!" Crystal cried. The Whispering Death roared and dove right towards President Iroh!
"The President!" someone cried.
"Nadder, Spine shot!" The Nadder responded to Crystals' call and shot spines at the Whispering Death, making ti screech and driving it away from the president. "Winter, let's go!" Crystal snapped. The Light Fury warbled and Crystal mounted it. Winter and the other dragons took to the sky. The Whispering Death roared and shot rings of fire and Winter and the other dragons who flew above them. "Now, fire!" The four dragons unleashed their fire on the Whispering Death, hitting it right in the face. It roared and burrowed back underground.
"Ha! You chased it off!" Rainbow smirked.
"No, it's not gone. It'll come out again to attack." Crystal said.
"Well how do we get rid of it?" Nori asked.
"The Whispering Deaths' only weakness is sunlight. They can't stand it!" Crystal explained.
"But it's cloudy now." Hiro said pointing to the cloudy skies. "Well take care of that." Celestia said. The Whispering Death resurfaced and roared loudly. Winter blasted the Whisper with her fire. It shook with anger and dove right towards Winter! Winter flew up into the sky with the Whisper not far behind. The Nightmare, Nadder and Zippleback followed it from behind. The Nadder shot it's spines at the Whisper making it roar and turned. It hissed at the three dragons just as the clouds parted revealing sunlight. The Whisper roared and shook with discomfort and began flying away to get away from the sunlight. Winter and the other dragons blasted it from behind as the Whisper flew far away from the city.
They stopped when they knew the Whisper wouldn't return. The four dragons landed and everyone cheered for them loudly. Crystal dismounted Winter and went over to her friends. "Crystal, are you okay?" Twilight asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay."
"That was epic!" Rainbow exclaimed. "You actually fought that dragon!"
"That took really guts, kid." Nova stated.
Crystal blushed a little in embarrassment. President Iroh came up to Crystal. "Crystal... I was wrong about the three dragons. They are not a threat to us or our city, so as President... you can keep them."
Crystals' face lit up with glee, "Really?"
President Iroh nodded. Crystal squealed and the three dragons warbled.
"So what are you gonna name them, Crystal?" Akari asked.
"Oh! Oh, how about Flamethrower, Spike Thrower and Gas Spitter!" Bolin suggested. Everyone sweat dropped at those names. "Sorry Bolin, that's not gonna cut it." Korra said.
"Aww."
"How about... Shimmer, Skyspike and Mist and Spark?" Crystal suggested.
The three dragons roared happily at their new names. "I think they like it." Celestia said.
Crystal smiled happily as her three new dragons nuzzled her with love. This was the beginning of a new chapter in Crystals' life.
