Chapter VIII:The fun's over,the battle begins

Equestria, Ponyville, year 1001 CR

After what seemed like hours everypony, along with their respected dinosaur companions, have decided to meet up together in front of the library. By that meaning each of them thought that the other would go there so they thought they'd go there to. Littlefoot and Chomper were the first to exit the library, followed by Alie, Twilight, Spike, Shining Armor and Princess Cadance, but after only about a few steps they already saw their friends coming closer to them from all directions.

As soon as they were all there the gang of seven gathered together and began recalling their current events with their respected ponies. Littlefoot beginning with a question:

"So what did you guys do?"

"Well I challenged Applejacks big brother, Big Machintosh, to a little contest on which one of us can knock down the most apples."-everyone gave her a questioning expretion and then she said-"Of course everyone kept saying that it was a tie but I know I knocked down the most apples."-ignoring her boasting Ruby continued:

"I have helped Rarity, along with her sister Sweetie Belle make a really beautiful dress for a very important costemir. I sure whish you guys can see it though."-after finishing her sentence Petrie took over:

"Me had very exousting day. Me had to fly after Rainbow Dash, who was flying really fast, just to catch up. But after while me rested on her back and seen Ponyville from ground. But no worries, me fine now."-he finished by taking up and hovering above the others to prove his words and then Ducky continued:

"Well I have seen Fluttershys place and it was very welcoming yep, yep, yep. It was full of little animals who were very friendly too. I even ate some equestrian green food and it was very yummy, it was, it was."-she then licked her little cute beak, recalling the salad she ate. Now it was Spikes turn but as they all saw the icing on his beak they already knew what he did. So Littlefoot took over:

"Well I told Shining Armor and princess Cadance our previous adventure with the girls. Chomper was helping Spike clean up and Alie was learning how to read. And so was I after a while."

"Long story short: We all had a great time."-Alie said with a smile on her face.

Soon enough they all started to walk in a circle and pretty soon they all began to sing:

The gang:Good times, good friends

Take a look at what we found,

Good times, good friends

We're having fun in

Equestria!

Petrie:Take a look around.

Friendly ponies,

Up and down!

Alie:You think we're having fun?

Littlefoot:Say it Ducky!

Ducky:YEP YEP YEP!

The gang:Good times good friends

Glad we have this time to spend!

Good times GOOD friends

Wish that it would never end!

Pinkie:And I wish it would never end!

As soon as the song ended everyone started to laugh. But their joy soon ended because they all heard a shrieking noise that sent a chill up the young dinosaur spines.

"What was that?!"-Cera asked cowering behind Littlefoot and pretty soon she would get her answer.

After a moment they all saw a dragon aprouching the town, but this wasn't any ordinary dragon; this was a Monstrous Nightmare and it was the source of the shriek, and pretty obviously, it just kept on shrieking. Pretty soon it landed right in front of the group and bellowed a much louder roar that made Spike dig his head into the ground. But unfortunately this wasn't the only dragon; soon more dragons joined in: Gronckles, Zipplebacks, Nadders, Snap trappers, Terrors, Nightmares and surprisingly even Skrills.

The fire-breathing, flying reptiles just glared at the group for a moment, then one of the Skrills roared at them and then the dragons attacked. The ponies were doing their best to protect their reptilian friends: Twilight and Shining Armor were firing beams of purple magic at any charging dragon, while also avoid getting rousted. Applejack was bucking every attacking dragon as hard as she could, but when she kicked a Gronckle in the chin it didn't even budg. It was getting ready to fire a lava ball when suddenly Cera bumped at the tail, causing it to raise it's head and fire at a Nadder. The now rousted Nadder got mad and started fighting the Gronckle, while Cera and Applejack winked at each other and resumed fighting. Up above Petrie was being chased by a Monstrous Nightmare, while also avoiding the flames from said dragon. Rainbow Dash was also having trouble with a prosuwing Snap trapper, wiggling its four heads trying to catch her. She noticed Petrie to and got an idea: She wistled to Petrie and mosioned for him to fly to her direction. The young Pteranodon didn't know what was she planning but he played along. When they were just a few inches away from each other RD signaled Petrie to dive. Not being fast enough the two dragons smashed into one another and fell down. The two fliers hi-fived and went back to fighting dragons.

After what seemed like an eternity of battling the dragons suddenly stopped attacking because, not just them, but everyone heard a very loud, monstrous roar, which seemed very familiar to the gang of seven. The dragons from the front backed up to allow them to see their boss aproching: it was an old, grey, male Tyrannosaurus Rex. He looked very familiar to the gang, but when it turned to face them his red eye and scar that went all the way down to its right claw came into view and that's when the gang knew who he was and his name escaped right through Chompers mouth:

"RED CLAW!"

The dino in question bellowed a laud roar up into the sky before slowly makings his way to the pony and dino gang. With each step he took the dragons kept stepping further back.

"What is that thing?"-Cadance asked

"That's Red Claw. He's a sharp tooth, and trust me, he's not the friendly variety."-Littlefoot answered.

"But if Red Claw is here…"-Ruby began-"…that must mean that-"-as if on qui, two very familiar Utharaptors jumped out of an alley and followed Red Claw-"Thud and Screech are here to!"

As he was closing in Red Claw licked his spike-like teeth and snout before speaking in his native predator language, which to everyone, save to Chomper, sounded like a growl:

"Now you are all mine you little, leaf-eating pests!"-Chomper gasped at this statement and decided not to tell anyone just yet. No reason to cause unnesecery panic.

When he was just a few feet away from them Red Claw started to charge. The Shining Armor nodded to Twilight, as if signaling her to do something, then they both leapt forth and each fired a purple magic ray from their horns, which crossed into a light-ball, a few feet away from them and fired a single ray towards the giant rex.

When it hit Red Claw he roared in agony as he flew several feet back and as he skidded to a halt, Thud and Screech jumped out of the way, before their boss hit a Gronckle and a Nadder that were right behind him. When he stopped the magic ray engulfed him in a big purple bubble that began to swirl inside and began to grow and, strangely, starting to absorb everything. As it was the two unfortunate dragons were sucked in and the bubble kept on growing until it was about the size of a large building from Canterlot.

Then from the bubble a giant, thick leg, with long, sharp, black claws and red spikes emerged and as it stepped down the earth began to tremble. Pretty soon another leg appeared right next to the first one, then a long tail with a massive, boney club appeared from behind the bubble, then a pair of enormous wings emerged from the bubble as well. At the end a gigantic armored head, with six eyes, a boney frill, and large sharp teeth emerged last and as it raised its head up into the sky and began to roar even louder then Red Claw the magic bubble began to fade away.

As it disappeared this gave enough time for the gang to notice the red scar from the left, middle eye that gose all the way down to its left foot. This only gave them a fraction of a second to realize that this thing was in fact Red Claw…only not complietly.

"Oh dear sweet Celestia, what did we just do?"-Twilight asked, not taking her eyes of the now dragonized Red Claw.

After a minute of examining his new body Red Claw finally turned his attention to the group and was already lowering his head and opening his even bigger mouth to gubble them up in one bite. The gangs were getting ready for impact but it never came. Instead they felt a bright light right above their heads and when they peeked they saw that Red Claw was looking up. As they followed hi gaze they saw none other then Princess Celestia herself, hovering above everyone in her bright shining aura.

Red Claw and the rest of the dragons, along with Thud and Screech, roared at her and as they did Celestia unleashed a bright, yellow magic blast from her horn straight towards Red Claw. It hit the dragon-rex right in the head and although it bearly left a scrach on him, Red Claw did feel some pain. Deciding to not take his chances right now he ordered a retriet and walked away with the dragons following.

Celestia then lowered herself until she was only inches from the ground. Then she turned to the now amazed group of friends and said in a very serious tone:

"Everyone, get into the chariots! Ponies in one, dinosaurs in another, now go!"-as she finished everyone looked behind them and saw a pair of chariots and they all hopped in, without wasting any time.
