The Zodonian Pony Republic of Houstonby jidbronyChaptersChapter 1Chapter 2Chapter 3Chapter 1Chapter 1 "Fire! Death! Burn! Bleed!" Terl yelled as General Zod walked into the ships hallway only to be attacked and chocked by Mecha Linkara. "Remember me!" The robot threatened as it dragged Genearl Zod into the main command room plummeting him onto the ground and began to beat him senselessly. General Zod tried to call for help but his cries were ignored as his Second in Command Terl continued to spout out terrible misread Shakespeare quotes as he continued to attack the ship of there mortal enemy the online internet celebrity Nostagia Critic. "You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away and know when to DIE!!!" Terl shouted as he continued to laugh manically as Mecha Linkara continue to smash General Zod head on the couch causing great pain and discomfort towards his person. Eventually Mecha Linkara stopped beating Zod up and began to attack Terl grabbing him by the neck and chocking him. General Zod slowly began to regain his strength and get back up and go help Terl out with Mecha Linkara. A few moments later however before Zod could strike a blow to his robotic enemy a blue shell was launched from the Critic ships. Zod, Terl and Linkara all looked up on the screen as the blue shell began to head toward them. General Zod turned to Terl with a look at pure defeat on his face and said. "Well...come on lets here it." "You know what...I got nothin... sucks to be us." Terl responded looking defeated as well. The blue shell attacks the ship and plunges it straight toward the mighty battle station known as the Death Bomb. As all three of them plummeted to there doom General Zod noticed that there was a incoming call from the station. He decided to see who it was. "General Zod." Said the voice of there master the Executor. "Yoo hoo." General Zod responded. "Get down here this instance." the Executor demanded. General Zod looked on screen as the ship was about to crash into the Death Bomb. "Uh...I don't think that's going to be a problem actually." A few seconds later the ship collided into the space station and punched a mighty whole into it. A few moments passed as General Zod, Terl and Mecha Linkara al came out of the rubble that there ship had caused. General Zod looked around as Terl shouted in triumph by the fact that he was still alive. "Were is the Executor?" Mecha Linkara asked. General Zod looked around and saw chunks of organs and skin splattered all over the place. "A little there and there and there..... and a little there." He pointed to a small part of the Executor's heart that was on Terl. Terl immediately whipped it off in discuss. Then as if without warning a loud beeping sound could be heard coming from Mecha Linkara. General Zod and Terl looked down to see the countdown to his self destruct program was activated. General Zod , Terl and Mecha Linkara knew the game was up and there was only one thing they could do at this point. "To be...." Mecha Linkara started. "Or not" Zod added. and Terl gave the final part in a glorious triumpt "TO BEEEEEEEE!" Then Mecha Linkara exploded causing a chain reaction that destroyed the entire Death Bomb. All there was... was darkness. But slowly Zod eye's began to open again an he notice that he was drifting into space. No, not drifting but more like being flung into space, not only that... he was alive and Terl was alive was alive as well, for he was screaming as loud as his lungs to let him as the two of them were flying of into the stares. General Zod was shocked he could not believe what he was seeing. "This is impossible... unless." Zod came to a realization he looked at Terl. "Terl you moron shut up I need to talk to you!" he screamed. "What! I'm kind of busy at the moment being flung into the depts. of space!" Terl yelled back sounding annoyed. "I know why were still alive!" Zod yelled. "How? Personally, I'm a little scared to find out." Terl yelled back. "Oh stop being such a baby." Zod said. "Look the reason were still alive is that the plot whole must have effected the laws of gravity and space causing us to survive even though we clearly shouldn't... it's like the movies of the Son of Jor-El back in the 80's." "You mean Kryptonians can't breath in space? Terl asked looking curious as the two of them continued to fly though space. "Of course not! Were god-like but not that god-like, besides explain how can you be talking and screaming right now." General Zod answered looking annoyed at Terl incompetence. Terl had know good answer to make a witty comeback. The two of them continued to fly though space for a couple of moments until they realized where they were headed. A bright blue light slowly appeared behind them as General Zod looked up and looked at it with awe. "It's the plot hole!" He screamed with excitement. "Quick you idiot head toward it at once." "But what about the side effects, we don't even know were it leads." Terl said sounding cautious. "Better than drifting into space with you for all eternity or when the laws of physics decide to work again." Zod retorted. Terl eventually gave into Zod's demands as the two of them fling there bodies and headed to the phenomenon known as the plot whole. The light consumed them as Zod and Terl became blinded by it, unable to see or feel anything for what seems to be a eternity. Slowly things started to come through the sweet chirping of birds could be heard and slowly a bright blue sky began to emerge. General Zod was the first awake finding himself on the some nice soft grass. He got up and looked around and noticed he was in a colorful forest filled with all sorts of trees and flowers. In the sky he looks up at the son. "Ah excellent I can feel the power of the mighty yellow sun being infused with me!" He continued to look around the forest and notices Terl was still unconscious and so General Zod did the one thing he knew would wake him up. Shoot him with his heat ray vision. "OOOOOOOUCH!" Terl screamed as he was running around trying to cool himself down from Zod heat vision. General Zod merely watched with amusement. "Enough whining! We must find out were we are so we may begin our conquest of this world!" Zod said looking determined and ready for battle. "Uh....Hold on there General Crud. One problem...not much to conquer especially considering the fact were in the middle of a inhabited forest!" Terl yelled . Zod didn't seem to care. "First off I know that. Second that doesn't mean we can't conquer the forest animals and have them submit to our will. If ever Disney Princess can do it, so can we! They will whistle while they work if I have anything to say about it and by work I mean become my army of animal slaves!" "This is all your fault you know, if you hadn't been busy singing and partying instead of fighting the Critics like me none of this would have happened." Terl yelled. "Do you dare question the great vocal skills of General Zod!". Zod yelled back. "Yes, I should be in command not you." Terl threatened shoving Zod. "Oh yeah! Well...Take this." Zod began to fire his laser beams him. Terl began to run away trying to avoid Zod's attacks Zod continued to chase him around until finally Terl stopped him. "WAIT!" Terl screamed. "I hear something Zod perhaps we should follow it, it might lead us to some civilization. "I'm surprised you can hear anything at all considering you shout practically everything you say." Zod retorted. " Oh shut it. Lets just find out who lives in this world. Hopefully there war like although looking by the flora and fauna the chances are looking slim. " Terl said "Very well! I shall lead though since I have SUPER HEARING!" Zod moved in front of Terl and began to lead the way to the small voice that Terl had heard. They journey through the forest only lasted a few minutes. Zod noticed that as they continued there journey the trees began to change, all them were covered with apples, the strange fruit that could be used to poison women that were prettier than other women. Finally Zod and Terl eventually found a shred of civilization it was a small farm. "A farm! I hate farms." General Zod said looking angrily. "Why?" Terl asked looking curious. "Because! The son of Jor-El was rumored to raised on a Houstonians farm! Perhaps he is here right now!" Zod said looking at the farm with suspicion. "Look, it one of the strange four legged creatures humans use to ride from palace to place." Terl said as he pointed a small yellow colored horse running around, it had a red mane and red bow tied to it. General Zod starred at it for a moment wondering why that mule was running around without it's master to command it. Then a voice came from within the barn. "Applebloom." said a southern girls voice. Then a organ pony came out from the barn wearing a cowboy hat and had a yellow mane. "Applebloom come on it's time for lunch." "Coming sis." Applebloom responded. Terl and Zod were shocked those creatures could talk and communicate with one another. General Zod knew what he had to do. "Zod! What are you doing, get back here!." Terl tried to stop Zod but it was to late Zod had left the secrecy of the forest and began to walk up to the two Ponies. Applejack and Applebloom turned around and looked at the strange figure with shock and awe not sure what to make of him. General Zod just stood tall and looked down at both of them with a warrior like demeanor. "Uh...can I help you mister?" Applejack asked trying to break the ice. With that General Zod yelled, "KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!" Applejack and Applebloom just stared at Zod not sure what to make of him especially his strange clothing that he was wearing. Applebloom then spoke up as she started at Zods clothes. "Sir. Why are you wearing girls clothing?" Chapter 2Chapter 2 Terl decided to reveal himself and runs over to Zod to get him out of the jam he had gotten himself in. Applejack and Applebloom continued to stair up at Zod as Zod just looked at them with arrogance and superiority. "Zod!, Zod!" Terl said as he grabbed Zod by the ear and started to whisper to him. "What are you doing you idiot!" "I am imposing my will on those two four legged things, for Zod is awesome and imposes his will on all four legged creatures who do not kneel before me so once again I command you to KNEEEEEL before Zod!." Zod answered sounding defiant. "Yes but you can't just go up to them and demand them to kneel before you. Not until we know who there are, and what they are." Zod though this over for a while, he turned around to see Applejack and Applebloom just staring at the two strange creatures not sure what to do. He turned back to Terl. "Very well, we shall begin in the process known as making a introduction, come along!" Zod then walks up to the two ponies. "Greetings strange creatures of four legs, I am General Zod, AND YOU WILL KNE..." Terl stopped him in his tracks before he could finish. "What he means is do you know exactly were we are, you see were not from around here." "Oh is that it." Applejack said sounding relieved. "Ah you foreigners ey well then I guess we can help you out Mr...um." Terl finished her sentence. "I am General Ferdinand Von Terl of the proud Pys-Clone army!" he answered boastfully. Applebloom started to giggle a bit as well as General Zod. Terl didn't seem to understand what was so funny. "What!...What's so funny," "I'm sorry it's just....Ferdinand is a funny first name." Applebloom said having trouble to hold in her laughter. Applejack gave her a little nudge and look at her with disapproval. "I know... Maybe he works in a flower shop part time!" Zod said adding to the insults. "Oh stop! Ferdinand is a proud name one that demands respect!" Terl shouted sounding annoyed, but he couldn't stop Zod's and Applelblooms burst of laugher. "STOP!" Terl yelled. "Applebloom!" Applejack said looking disappointed at her sister. Applebloom stopped and lowered her head in shame. "Sorry sis? He started it!" Applebloom pointed at Zod. "I did not, clearly it was you that began the insulting laughter at Terl. Which is something I highly approve of." Zod responded looking shocked. "You are lucky however that Zod is a merciful Warlord and again approves of insulting Terl. Because of your judgment in names I promise you will have a place in the new Zodonian order." Applejack nor Applebloom didn't understand what Zod was talking about and decided not to ignore it. "Um, why don't you two go inside the barn, my friends should be popping by in a hour anyway for a get together were having perhaps you could meat them and we can explain together were you are." Zod and Terl follow Applejack into her house as they enter the living room. They two of them decided to sit on the couch since they have been standing all day. Zod and Terl look around the quaint little house and notice a certain pattern about these ponies. "Excuse me Applejack but judging my your name and yours sisters name and the fact you Apples all over you house I've have come to a critic conclusion." Terl told Applejack said. "Oh really what." Applejack asked sounding curious. "You............ like the color red." Terl said with a sense of vindication. Zod just put his hand on his head and began rubbing his template. "No you dolt! They like Apple's... I mean how it can't be that hard to figure it out! How do you even put those two things together." Zod said smacking Terl on the head. "Uh...Okay?" Applejack said. "Do you want me to get you fellahs anything, I have some Apple cider, Apple Juice, or maybe some nice sweet Apples." "Zod does not like Apple's he has read that they are used to poison peoples especially pretty princesses that are more pretty than evil queens." Zod said looking suspicion at the apples. "I have some of that strange cider you speak off, on my planet we have something of the same nature except made of nuclear waste." Terl said sounding intrigued at the drink known as cider. Applejack gave Terl his cider, Terl enjoyed the drink greatly. A hour passed and finally five other pony creatures began to walk up to the farm, Zod noticed them through Applejacks windows and began to examine them sinisterly. "More of those strange for legged creatures are moving into our position." Zod then notices the purple and white one with horns on there head. "Look!" Zod pointed at them Terl walked up to the window to see what Zod was pointing at. "They have horns." Zod pointed. "So...They probably just mutated freaks we have them on our planet all the time. Most of the time we just behead them hoping our nuclear atmosphere would grow it back." Terl said. "No Terl you moron. On planet Houston the inhabitants have a name for these creatures called Unicorns. The ancient legends say that they have the power of magic on there side. In my opinion these creatures are just lots inhabitants of Kyrpton though." Zod said examining the unicorn. "There coming, act natural." Terl said as both he and Zod rushed back to the couch and tried to act as if they weren't spying on the Ponies coming to the farm. "Ah my friends are coming, I tell them your situation so they won't be shocked." Applejack said as she noticed her friends coming. She goes outside and begins to talk to the other Ponies. As she does there faces show off expression of shock and surprise. Applejack turns around and calls out. "Zod, Terl you can come out now!" Zod and Terl then head outside. Zod stands tall and proud as he looks at the other five ponies. "Greetings creatures I am General Zod." "Greeting General Zod my name is Twilight...." she was interrupted when Zod yelled out. "KNEEEEEEEEL!" "Sparkle." Twilight finished after Zod gave his command. Terl just slapped his hand on his forehead. "You really need to stop doing that Zod." Terl said in annoyance as the rest of the Ponies just starred at Zod not sure what to make of his strange outburst. Then the blue Pegasus flew up to Zod and examined him closely. "Hey dude you know those aren't men's cloths you know." she said. "Rainbowdash, please I think they look slim and unique." The white unicorn said. Applejack introduced them. "These are my friends Rainbowdash and Rarity." "Please to meet you. I am happy to know the one called Rarity has appreciation for fine Kyrptonian garments." Zod said "Unlike some people." he turns around and looks at Terl menacingly. "Oh please everyone knows those are just spandex." Terl insulted. "And these two over here are Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy." Applejack then pointed to the Pink pony with the wild looking mane and the yellow pony with that looked nervous and frighten. "Wow! are you Aliens oh cool I should through you one of my Pinkie Pie parties." Pinkie Pie exclaimed looking excited to meet new people. Zod looked intrigued. "A... Pinkie Pie Party interesting although I must admit they are nothing compared to a party that is through by me...General Zod." "Tell me Mr.Zod were do you come from anyway." Twilight Sparkle asked looking interested. "I young one am from the destroyed planet of Kyrpton. I am one of the last surviving members of my race and am on a constant hunt for great enemy the Son of Joar-El. But now I wish to learn about your planet, and why there are six talking Ponies in my midst." "Well...Um your in Equestria." Twilight responded. "And most of the species who live here are Ponies, although we do have a few Griffons, Zebras and Changelings around but for the most part it's just Ponies." Zod stroked his beard with interest as he pondered his next moves. "I wish to see an archival information you may have about your land." Zod demanded. "Oh...Sure." Twilight said understanding what Zod wanted. "You can come to my library we have many books on the history of Equestria which I'm sure you'll be interested in." "Um...Hello isn't anyone going to ask who I am." Terl said trying to get the group attention. But it was to late they all began to head in the direction of Twilight's library leaving Terl in the dust and looking very annoyed. "Well that's just great, first I get lip from that filly now this." Terl followed along frowning and looking depressed. A few minutes passed as Zod and Terl entered a small village. Zod looked very unimpressed. "Oh please on planet Kyrpton we had monuments made out of a diamond stones! They would easily crush you small tiny hut houses." "Well you don't have to be a jerk about it." Rainbowdash said looking annoyed. "Of course I can I am Zod, and as such I have my right to look down on your race." Zod retorted . "Great this guy is worse than Trixie." Rainbowdash whispered to Applejack who agreed with her. "Yeah, he also likes to speak in the third person a lot to." Applejack responded. She then started to sweat a little bit. "Boy Celestia's sun sure is warm today." Zod seemed interested. "Who is the one you call Celestia and why does the sun seemingly belong to her." Zod questioned. "Oh that's easy Princess Celestia is our ruler and she controls the sun why her sister Princess Luna controls the moon." "Fascinating." Zod said sounding intrigued. "So you are telling me that you worship people who control you sun and moon." "Well I wouldn't say." before Twilight could finish Zod went up into space and pushes the Sun out of orbit only to push it back in it's original place. As soon as he lands he screams. "KNEEEEEEL!" "How... How did you do that." Twilight asked looking exchanged. "Simple I used my supper Zod muscles or as I call them Zoscles, to move your sun out and then back into orbit. For you I draw power from your sun." Zod said looking defiant. "Oh please enough of your power boasting Zod can we get inside so we can find a way to get home." Terl asked tired of walking around. "Um...yeah were actually here right now." Twilight said as she pointed to a large tree in the middle of town. "A tree... your home is tree." Zod asked looking disgusted. "A tree is a home for Vernon not a place to store important archives. Of course considering you are mules I wouldn't be surprised. Fine! I shall enter into your tree home and learn the ways of your world so I can easily conquer it." "What!" Twilight said. "Uh...Uh.. Zod said what I mean is were I come from Conquer means study...yes I will study your planet." Zod said hoping they would by it and thankfully for him they did. "Nice save General crud." Terl whispered in his ear as they all entered the tree home. "Surprised they haven't figured out were evil yet." "Perhaps it's the plot whole." Zod responded as he entered the tree home ready to begin his study on Pony kind. Chapter 3Chapter 3 For many hours Zod was silent as he went over many of the books in Twilight's library. He studied several cultural habits of the ponies as well as there political and social customs. Zod seemed intrigued by yet unimpressed.Terl just slouched and sat down most the time looking annoyed. "According to many of your archives your Princess Celestia gains her power from your mighty yellow sun! I must ask does she originally hail from Kyrpton." Zod asked Twilight. Twilight wasn't sure how to respond. "Um no...I don't think so. She's never told me." "Interesting. Also I notice that one of your holidays is called Hearts Warming Eve, it sounds a lot like a holiday from Planet Houston known as Christmas." "Ah yes Hearts Warming Eve is a very important day, it's the day we celebrate the founding of Equestria." Twilight explained. "You see a long time ago...." "Yes, yes, that's all I needed to know I didn't ask for you life story." Zod interrupted rudely. "Okay...Well anyway Hearts Warming Eve is actually coming up very soon, soon all of Equestria shall be covered in fun snow." Twilight explained. "Snow, but outside it's as clear as day." Zod said pointing at the weather outside. "Not when the Pegasai are finished with it." Rainbowdash boasted. "Well give Equestria the best snow day this year." Zod seemed confused as well as Terl. "What you going to tell the clouds to make snow." Terl said sarcastically. "Well yes... and no...we Pegasai control the weather so were totally in tune with the clouds." Rainbowdash explained. "You can command clouds! Not even Zod can do that! But one day I will command all the arrogant clouds and have them submit to my will. YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE MY CLOUDS!" Zod said menacingly. He looked at Rainbodash with interest. "Perhaps one day you will have a important place in the Zodonian order." Rainbodash seemed confused. "What's the Zodonian order?" she asked curiously. Zod and Terl looked nervous, they hopped the Pony ignorance would continue and not catch on. "Um...Well...uh. Terl explain!." Terl just snickered at Zod. "Oh no Spandex you got yourself into it you get yourself out." "Is it some sort of club?" Rainbowdash asked. "Uh...Why yes." Zod answered coming up with a idea. "A club! Yes. We all were these cool looking uniforms." Rainbowdash looked at the uniform for a while. "Thanks. But not thanks I much prefer to join the Wonderbolts there the fastest flyers in all of Equestria!" She said getting excited. Zod looked a little put off. "Fastest flyers, no one is as fast as Zod!" Zod then stood completely still for one second. "Zod just circled you entire planet. Want to see me do it again." "Uh...Okay." Rainbowdash said. "To late I just did." Zod boasted. Terl interrupted. "When is this Hearts Warming Eve supposed to take place." Terl asked Twilight. "Next week. There going to be a huge celebration at Cantelot Castle and my friend Pinkie Pie been asked to help set it up. She through the best party." Pinkie Pie then jumped out of nowhere. "Yeah it's going to be the most awesome Pinkie Pie party ever. There is going to be balloons streamers, cake, sugar, candy and..." "Please! On Planet Kyrpton Zod was known to through a wicked cagier." Zod boasted. "Oh cool, maybe you could help me then." Pinkie Pie told General Zod. "What." Zod whispered sounding annoyed. "I would be interested to see the mechanics of this so called Pinkie Pie party and judge it...harshly." Zod said. Zod then felt a small tap on his shoulder he turned around to see that Terl was trying to get his attention. Zod walked up to him as he and Zod went to a small corner of the room. "Zod, this Hearts Warming Eve day will be the perfect time for us to conquer this planet considering it is a high even with all there leaders in one place." Terl said. Zod though it over for a moment. "Perhaps you are right, although from what I read the princesses of this world are powerful they are no where near the power that is Zod. But since we still have a week till then we will keep our ambitions silent and study the cultural of these ponies...harshly sot that one day they will be punished by me...General Zod, harshly." Zod turns to Twilight and the others. "Me and my associate I have realized will need a place to stay and rest until such time when we will have the means necessary to return back to our world." Twilight thought it over for a while. "Well...You two could sleep here in library until I find a way to send you home. I have some extra spare bed but you two will have to share." Zod and Terl looked at each and exchanged some nasty looks they booth turned to Twilight. "Agreed." Zod said sounding a bit disanointed. "But I call the right side of the bed, for that is my good side. ZOD HAS SPOKEN!" "Why do you get to call it?" Terl asked sounding annoyed. "Because I have god like powers and shoot lasers from my eyes and you can not." Zod retorted. "Fine, you little...." Terl just continued muttering to himself. "Yeah!" Twilight said sounding happy. "I hope you wont mind though I'll be doing some decorating for Hearts Warming Eve. I get to put out the lights outside and..." "Hold on!" Zod stopped here before she continued. "Why would you put something that clearly belongs outside and put it inside. On Kyrpton we have a word for it it's called dumb. Don't you know a lit up house will only draw up more attention especially for my cybernetic army of warriors. DEPLOY!" Zod then postured himself as if commanding people to go in a certain direction. Terl and everyone else in the room looked around wondering what Zod was pointing at. Terl leaned into Zod and whispered, "Uh General Crud. You don't have a cybernetic army of warriors." Zod immediately snapped out of it. "What...Oh yes." Zod seemed disappointed. "Well then I guess it will be interesting to learn more about the Hearts Warming Eve and in turn I will teach about another holiday that I myself have created." "Oh really, is it a holiday they have on your world." Twilight asked. "Yes." Zod replied sounding pleased with himself. "It is called Zodmas." Author's Note I realize this was a short chapter but I wanted to establish Zod and Terl in Ponyville in this chapter so that next chapter we can see them interact more with Pony society.
Chapter 1Chapter 1 "Fire! Death! Burn! Bleed!" Terl yelled as General Zod walked into the ships hallway only to be attacked and chocked by Mecha Linkara. "Remember me!" The robot threatened as it dragged Genearl Zod into the main command room plummeting him onto the ground and began to beat him senselessly. General Zod tried to call for help but his cries were ignored as his Second in Command Terl continued to spout out terrible misread Shakespeare quotes as he continued to attack the ship of there mortal enemy the online internet celebrity Nostagia Critic. "You got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away and know when to DIE!!!" Terl shouted as he continued to laugh manically as Mecha Linkara continue to smash General Zod head on the couch causing great pain and discomfort towards his person. Eventually Mecha Linkara stopped beating Zod up and began to attack Terl grabbing him by the neck and chocking him. General Zod slowly began to regain his strength and get back up and go help Terl out with Mecha Linkara. A few moments later however before Zod could strike a blow to his robotic enemy a blue shell was launched from the Critic ships. Zod, Terl and Linkara all looked up on the screen as the blue shell began to head toward them. General Zod turned to Terl with a look at pure defeat on his face and said. "Well...come on lets here it." "You know what...I got nothin... sucks to be us." Terl responded looking defeated as well. The blue shell attacks the ship and plunges it straight toward the mighty battle station known as the Death Bomb. As all three of them plummeted to there doom General Zod noticed that there was a incoming call from the station. He decided to see who it was. "General Zod." Said the voice of there master the Executor. "Yoo hoo." General Zod responded. "Get down here this instance." the Executor demanded. General Zod looked on screen as the ship was about to crash into the Death Bomb. "Uh...I don't think that's going to be a problem actually." A few seconds later the ship collided into the space station and punched a mighty whole into it. A few moments passed as General Zod, Terl and Mecha Linkara al came out of the rubble that there ship had caused. General Zod looked around as Terl shouted in triumph by the fact that he was still alive. "Were is the Executor?" Mecha Linkara asked. General Zod looked around and saw chunks of organs and skin splattered all over the place. "A little there and there and there..... and a little there." He pointed to a small part of the Executor's heart that was on Terl. Terl immediately whipped it off in discuss. Then as if without warning a loud beeping sound could be heard coming from Mecha Linkara. General Zod and Terl looked down to see the countdown to his self destruct program was activated. General Zod , Terl and Mecha Linkara knew the game was up and there was only one thing they could do at this point. "To be...." Mecha Linkara started. "Or not" Zod added. and Terl gave the final part in a glorious triumpt "TO BEEEEEEEE!" Then Mecha Linkara exploded causing a chain reaction that destroyed the entire Death Bomb. All there was... was darkness. But slowly Zod eye's began to open again an he notice that he was drifting into space. No, not drifting but more like being flung into space, not only that... he was alive and Terl was alive was alive as well, for he was screaming as loud as his lungs to let him as the two of them were flying of into the stares. General Zod was shocked he could not believe what he was seeing. "This is impossible... unless." Zod came to a realization he looked at Terl. "Terl you moron shut up I need to talk to you!" he screamed. "What! I'm kind of busy at the moment being flung into the depts. of space!" Terl yelled back sounding annoyed. "I know why were still alive!" Zod yelled. "How? Personally, I'm a little scared to find out." Terl yelled back. "Oh stop being such a baby." Zod said. "Look the reason were still alive is that the plot whole must have effected the laws of gravity and space causing us to survive even though we clearly shouldn't... it's like the movies of the Son of Jor-El back in the 80's." "You mean Kryptonians can't breath in space? Terl asked looking curious as the two of them continued to fly though space. "Of course not! Were god-like but not that god-like, besides explain how can you be talking and screaming right now." General Zod answered looking annoyed at Terl incompetence. Terl had know good answer to make a witty comeback. The two of them continued to fly though space for a couple of moments until they realized where they were headed. A bright blue light slowly appeared behind them as General Zod looked up and looked at it with awe. "It's the plot hole!" He screamed with excitement. "Quick you idiot head toward it at once." "But what about the side effects, we don't even know were it leads." Terl said sounding cautious. "Better than drifting into space with you for all eternity or when the laws of physics decide to work again." Zod retorted. Terl eventually gave into Zod's demands as the two of them fling there bodies and headed to the phenomenon known as the plot whole. The light consumed them as Zod and Terl became blinded by it, unable to see or feel anything for what seems to be a eternity. Slowly things started to come through the sweet chirping of birds could be heard and slowly a bright blue sky began to emerge. General Zod was the first awake finding himself on the some nice soft grass. He got up and looked around and noticed he was in a colorful forest filled with all sorts of trees and flowers. In the sky he looks up at the son. "Ah excellent I can feel the power of the mighty yellow sun being infused with me!" He continued to look around the forest and notices Terl was still unconscious and so General Zod did the one thing he knew would wake him up. Shoot him with his heat ray vision. "OOOOOOOUCH!" Terl screamed as he was running around trying to cool himself down from Zod heat vision. General Zod merely watched with amusement. "Enough whining! We must find out were we are so we may begin our conquest of this world!" Zod said looking determined and ready for battle. "Uh....Hold on there General Crud. One problem...not much to conquer especially considering the fact were in the middle of a inhabited forest!" Terl yelled . Zod didn't seem to care. "First off I know that. Second that doesn't mean we can't conquer the forest animals and have them submit to our will. If ever Disney Princess can do it, so can we! They will whistle while they work if I have anything to say about it and by work I mean become my army of animal slaves!" "This is all your fault you know, if you hadn't been busy singing and partying instead of fighting the Critics like me none of this would have happened." Terl yelled. "Do you dare question the great vocal skills of General Zod!". Zod yelled back. "Yes, I should be in command not you." Terl threatened shoving Zod. "Oh yeah! Well...Take this." Zod began to fire his laser beams him. Terl began to run away trying to avoid Zod's attacks Zod continued to chase him around until finally Terl stopped him. "WAIT!" Terl screamed. "I hear something Zod perhaps we should follow it, it might lead us to some civilization. "I'm surprised you can hear anything at all considering you shout practically everything you say." Zod retorted. " Oh shut it. Lets just find out who lives in this world. Hopefully there war like although looking by the flora and fauna the chances are looking slim. " Terl said "Very well! I shall lead though since I have SUPER HEARING!" Zod moved in front of Terl and began to lead the way to the small voice that Terl had heard. They journey through the forest only lasted a few minutes. Zod noticed that as they continued there journey the trees began to change, all them were covered with apples, the strange fruit that could be used to poison women that were prettier than other women. Finally Zod and Terl eventually found a shred of civilization it was a small farm. "A farm! I hate farms." General Zod said looking angrily. "Why?" Terl asked looking curious. "Because! The son of Jor-El was rumored to raised on a Houstonians farm! Perhaps he is here right now!" Zod said looking at the farm with suspicion. "Look, it one of the strange four legged creatures humans use to ride from palace to place." Terl said as he pointed a small yellow colored horse running around, it had a red mane and red bow tied to it. General Zod starred at it for a moment wondering why that mule was running around without it's master to command it. Then a voice came from within the barn. "Applebloom." said a southern girls voice. Then a organ pony came out from the barn wearing a cowboy hat and had a yellow mane. "Applebloom come on it's time for lunch." "Coming sis." Applebloom responded. Terl and Zod were shocked those creatures could talk and communicate with one another. General Zod knew what he had to do. "Zod! What are you doing, get back here!." Terl tried to stop Zod but it was to late Zod had left the secrecy of the forest and began to walk up to the two Ponies. Applejack and Applebloom turned around and looked at the strange figure with shock and awe not sure what to make of him. General Zod just stood tall and looked down at both of them with a warrior like demeanor. "Uh...can I help you mister?" Applejack asked trying to break the ice. With that General Zod yelled, "KNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEL!" Applejack and Applebloom just stared at Zod not sure what to make of him especially his strange clothing that he was wearing. Applebloom then spoke up as she started at Zods clothes. "Sir. Why are you wearing girls clothing?"
Chapter 2Chapter 2 Terl decided to reveal himself and runs over to Zod to get him out of the jam he had gotten himself in. Applejack and Applebloom continued to stair up at Zod as Zod just looked at them with arrogance and superiority. "Zod!, Zod!" Terl said as he grabbed Zod by the ear and started to whisper to him. "What are you doing you idiot!" "I am imposing my will on those two four legged things, for Zod is awesome and imposes his will on all four legged creatures who do not kneel before me so once again I command you to KNEEEEEL before Zod!." Zod answered sounding defiant. "Yes but you can't just go up to them and demand them to kneel before you. Not until we know who there are, and what they are." Zod though this over for a while, he turned around to see Applejack and Applebloom just staring at the two strange creatures not sure what to do. He turned back to Terl. "Very well, we shall begin in the process known as making a introduction, come along!" Zod then walks up to the two ponies. "Greetings strange creatures of four legs, I am General Zod, AND YOU WILL KNE..." Terl stopped him in his tracks before he could finish. "What he means is do you know exactly were we are, you see were not from around here." "Oh is that it." Applejack said sounding relieved. "Ah you foreigners ey well then I guess we can help you out Mr...um." Terl finished her sentence. "I am General Ferdinand Von Terl of the proud Pys-Clone army!" he answered boastfully. Applebloom started to giggle a bit as well as General Zod. Terl didn't seem to understand what was so funny. "What!...What's so funny," "I'm sorry it's just....Ferdinand is a funny first name." Applebloom said having trouble to hold in her laughter. Applejack gave her a little nudge and look at her with disapproval. "I know... Maybe he works in a flower shop part time!" Zod said adding to the insults. "Oh stop! Ferdinand is a proud name one that demands respect!" Terl shouted sounding annoyed, but he couldn't stop Zod's and Applelblooms burst of laugher. "STOP!" Terl yelled. "Applebloom!" Applejack said looking disappointed at her sister. Applebloom stopped and lowered her head in shame. "Sorry sis? He started it!" Applebloom pointed at Zod. "I did not, clearly it was you that began the insulting laughter at Terl. Which is something I highly approve of." Zod responded looking shocked. "You are lucky however that Zod is a merciful Warlord and again approves of insulting Terl. Because of your judgment in names I promise you will have a place in the new Zodonian order." Applejack nor Applebloom didn't understand what Zod was talking about and decided not to ignore it. "Um, why don't you two go inside the barn, my friends should be popping by in a hour anyway for a get together were having perhaps you could meat them and we can explain together were you are." Zod and Terl follow Applejack into her house as they enter the living room. They two of them decided to sit on the couch since they have been standing all day. Zod and Terl look around the quaint little house and notice a certain pattern about these ponies. "Excuse me Applejack but judging my your name and yours sisters name and the fact you Apples all over you house I've have come to a critic conclusion." Terl told Applejack said. "Oh really what." Applejack asked sounding curious. "You............ like the color red." Terl said with a sense of vindication. Zod just put his hand on his head and began rubbing his template. "No you dolt! They like Apple's... I mean how it can't be that hard to figure it out! How do you even put those two things together." Zod said smacking Terl on the head. "Uh...Okay?" Applejack said. "Do you want me to get you fellahs anything, I have some Apple cider, Apple Juice, or maybe some nice sweet Apples." "Zod does not like Apple's he has read that they are used to poison peoples especially pretty princesses that are more pretty than evil queens." Zod said looking suspicion at the apples. "I have some of that strange cider you speak off, on my planet we have something of the same nature except made of nuclear waste." Terl said sounding intrigued at the drink known as cider. Applejack gave Terl his cider, Terl enjoyed the drink greatly. A hour passed and finally five other pony creatures began to walk up to the farm, Zod noticed them through Applejacks windows and began to examine them sinisterly. "More of those strange for legged creatures are moving into our position." Zod then notices the purple and white one with horns on there head. "Look!" Zod pointed at them Terl walked up to the window to see what Zod was pointing at. "They have horns." Zod pointed. "So...They probably just mutated freaks we have them on our planet all the time. Most of the time we just behead them hoping our nuclear atmosphere would grow it back." Terl said. "No Terl you moron. On planet Houston the inhabitants have a name for these creatures called Unicorns. The ancient legends say that they have the power of magic on there side. In my opinion these creatures are just lots inhabitants of Kyrpton though." Zod said examining the unicorn. "There coming, act natural." Terl said as both he and Zod rushed back to the couch and tried to act as if they weren't spying on the Ponies coming to the farm. "Ah my friends are coming, I tell them your situation so they won't be shocked." Applejack said as she noticed her friends coming. She goes outside and begins to talk to the other Ponies. As she does there faces show off expression of shock and surprise. Applejack turns around and calls out. "Zod, Terl you can come out now!" Zod and Terl then head outside. Zod stands tall and proud as he looks at the other five ponies. "Greetings creatures I am General Zod." "Greeting General Zod my name is Twilight...." she was interrupted when Zod yelled out. "KNEEEEEEEEL!" "Sparkle." Twilight finished after Zod gave his command. Terl just slapped his hand on his forehead. "You really need to stop doing that Zod." Terl said in annoyance as the rest of the Ponies just starred at Zod not sure what to make of his strange outburst. Then the blue Pegasus flew up to Zod and examined him closely. "Hey dude you know those aren't men's cloths you know." she said. "Rainbowdash, please I think they look slim and unique." The white unicorn said. Applejack introduced them. "These are my friends Rainbowdash and Rarity." "Please to meet you. I am happy to know the one called Rarity has appreciation for fine Kyrptonian garments." Zod said "Unlike some people." he turns around and looks at Terl menacingly. "Oh please everyone knows those are just spandex." Terl insulted. "And these two over here are Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy." Applejack then pointed to the Pink pony with the wild looking mane and the yellow pony with that looked nervous and frighten. "Wow! are you Aliens oh cool I should through you one of my Pinkie Pie parties." Pinkie Pie exclaimed looking excited to meet new people. Zod looked intrigued. "A... Pinkie Pie Party interesting although I must admit they are nothing compared to a party that is through by me...General Zod." "Tell me Mr.Zod were do you come from anyway." Twilight Sparkle asked looking interested. "I young one am from the destroyed planet of Kyrpton. I am one of the last surviving members of my race and am on a constant hunt for great enemy the Son of Joar-El. But now I wish to learn about your planet, and why there are six talking Ponies in my midst." "Well...Um your in Equestria." Twilight responded. "And most of the species who live here are Ponies, although we do have a few Griffons, Zebras and Changelings around but for the most part it's just Ponies." Zod stroked his beard with interest as he pondered his next moves. "I wish to see an archival information you may have about your land." Zod demanded. "Oh...Sure." Twilight said understanding what Zod wanted. "You can come to my library we have many books on the history of Equestria which I'm sure you'll be interested in." "Um...Hello isn't anyone going to ask who I am." Terl said trying to get the group attention. But it was to late they all began to head in the direction of Twilight's library leaving Terl in the dust and looking very annoyed. "Well that's just great, first I get lip from that filly now this." Terl followed along frowning and looking depressed. A few minutes passed as Zod and Terl entered a small village. Zod looked very unimpressed. "Oh please on planet Kyrpton we had monuments made out of a diamond stones! They would easily crush you small tiny hut houses." "Well you don't have to be a jerk about it." Rainbowdash said looking annoyed. "Of course I can I am Zod, and as such I have my right to look down on your race." Zod retorted . "Great this guy is worse than Trixie." Rainbowdash whispered to Applejack who agreed with her. "Yeah, he also likes to speak in the third person a lot to." Applejack responded. She then started to sweat a little bit. "Boy Celestia's sun sure is warm today." Zod seemed interested. "Who is the one you call Celestia and why does the sun seemingly belong to her." Zod questioned. "Oh that's easy Princess Celestia is our ruler and she controls the sun why her sister Princess Luna controls the moon." "Fascinating." Zod said sounding intrigued. "So you are telling me that you worship people who control you sun and moon." "Well I wouldn't say." before Twilight could finish Zod went up into space and pushes the Sun out of orbit only to push it back in it's original place. As soon as he lands he screams. "KNEEEEEEL!" "How... How did you do that." Twilight asked looking exchanged. "Simple I used my supper Zod muscles or as I call them Zoscles, to move your sun out and then back into orbit. For you I draw power from your sun." Zod said looking defiant. "Oh please enough of your power boasting Zod can we get inside so we can find a way to get home." Terl asked tired of walking around. "Um...yeah were actually here right now." Twilight said as she pointed to a large tree in the middle of town. "A tree... your home is tree." Zod asked looking disgusted. "A tree is a home for Vernon not a place to store important archives. Of course considering you are mules I wouldn't be surprised. Fine! I shall enter into your tree home and learn the ways of your world so I can easily conquer it." "What!" Twilight said. "Uh...Uh.. Zod said what I mean is were I come from Conquer means study...yes I will study your planet." Zod said hoping they would by it and thankfully for him they did. "Nice save General crud." Terl whispered in his ear as they all entered the tree home. "Surprised they haven't figured out were evil yet." "Perhaps it's the plot whole." Zod responded as he entered the tree home ready to begin his study on Pony kind.
Chapter 3Chapter 3 For many hours Zod was silent as he went over many of the books in Twilight's library. He studied several cultural habits of the ponies as well as there political and social customs. Zod seemed intrigued by yet unimpressed.Terl just slouched and sat down most the time looking annoyed. "According to many of your archives your Princess Celestia gains her power from your mighty yellow sun! I must ask does she originally hail from Kyrpton." Zod asked Twilight. Twilight wasn't sure how to respond. "Um no...I don't think so. She's never told me." "Interesting. Also I notice that one of your holidays is called Hearts Warming Eve, it sounds a lot like a holiday from Planet Houston known as Christmas." "Ah yes Hearts Warming Eve is a very important day, it's the day we celebrate the founding of Equestria." Twilight explained. "You see a long time ago...." "Yes, yes, that's all I needed to know I didn't ask for you life story." Zod interrupted rudely. "Okay...Well anyway Hearts Warming Eve is actually coming up very soon, soon all of Equestria shall be covered in fun snow." Twilight explained. "Snow, but outside it's as clear as day." Zod said pointing at the weather outside. "Not when the Pegasai are finished with it." Rainbowdash boasted. "Well give Equestria the best snow day this year." Zod seemed confused as well as Terl. "What you going to tell the clouds to make snow." Terl said sarcastically. "Well yes... and no...we Pegasai control the weather so were totally in tune with the clouds." Rainbowdash explained. "You can command clouds! Not even Zod can do that! But one day I will command all the arrogant clouds and have them submit to my will. YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE MY CLOUDS!" Zod said menacingly. He looked at Rainbodash with interest. "Perhaps one day you will have a important place in the Zodonian order." Rainbodash seemed confused. "What's the Zodonian order?" she asked curiously. Zod and Terl looked nervous, they hopped the Pony ignorance would continue and not catch on. "Um...Well...uh. Terl explain!." Terl just snickered at Zod. "Oh no Spandex you got yourself into it you get yourself out." "Is it some sort of club?" Rainbowdash asked. "Uh...Why yes." Zod answered coming up with a idea. "A club! Yes. We all were these cool looking uniforms." Rainbowdash looked at the uniform for a while. "Thanks. But not thanks I much prefer to join the Wonderbolts there the fastest flyers in all of Equestria!" She said getting excited. Zod looked a little put off. "Fastest flyers, no one is as fast as Zod!" Zod then stood completely still for one second. "Zod just circled you entire planet. Want to see me do it again." "Uh...Okay." Rainbowdash said. "To late I just did." Zod boasted. Terl interrupted. "When is this Hearts Warming Eve supposed to take place." Terl asked Twilight. "Next week. There going to be a huge celebration at Cantelot Castle and my friend Pinkie Pie been asked to help set it up. She through the best party." Pinkie Pie then jumped out of nowhere. "Yeah it's going to be the most awesome Pinkie Pie party ever. There is going to be balloons streamers, cake, sugar, candy and..." "Please! On Planet Kyrpton Zod was known to through a wicked cagier." Zod boasted. "Oh cool, maybe you could help me then." Pinkie Pie told General Zod. "What." Zod whispered sounding annoyed. "I would be interested to see the mechanics of this so called Pinkie Pie party and judge it...harshly." Zod said. Zod then felt a small tap on his shoulder he turned around to see that Terl was trying to get his attention. Zod walked up to him as he and Zod went to a small corner of the room. "Zod, this Hearts Warming Eve day will be the perfect time for us to conquer this planet considering it is a high even with all there leaders in one place." Terl said. Zod though it over for a moment. "Perhaps you are right, although from what I read the princesses of this world are powerful they are no where near the power that is Zod. But since we still have a week till then we will keep our ambitions silent and study the cultural of these ponies...harshly sot that one day they will be punished by me...General Zod, harshly." Zod turns to Twilight and the others. "Me and my associate I have realized will need a place to stay and rest until such time when we will have the means necessary to return back to our world." Twilight thought it over for a while. "Well...You two could sleep here in library until I find a way to send you home. I have some extra spare bed but you two will have to share." Zod and Terl looked at each and exchanged some nasty looks they booth turned to Twilight. "Agreed." Zod said sounding a bit disanointed. "But I call the right side of the bed, for that is my good side. ZOD HAS SPOKEN!" "Why do you get to call it?" Terl asked sounding annoyed. "Because I have god like powers and shoot lasers from my eyes and you can not." Zod retorted. "Fine, you little...." Terl just continued muttering to himself. "Yeah!" Twilight said sounding happy. "I hope you wont mind though I'll be doing some decorating for Hearts Warming Eve. I get to put out the lights outside and..." "Hold on!" Zod stopped here before she continued. "Why would you put something that clearly belongs outside and put it inside. On Kyrpton we have a word for it it's called dumb. Don't you know a lit up house will only draw up more attention especially for my cybernetic army of warriors. DEPLOY!" Zod then postured himself as if commanding people to go in a certain direction. Terl and everyone else in the room looked around wondering what Zod was pointing at. Terl leaned into Zod and whispered, "Uh General Crud. You don't have a cybernetic army of warriors." Zod immediately snapped out of it. "What...Oh yes." Zod seemed disappointed. "Well then I guess it will be interesting to learn more about the Hearts Warming Eve and in turn I will teach about another holiday that I myself have created." "Oh really, is it a holiday they have on your world." Twilight asked. "Yes." Zod replied sounding pleased with himself. "It is called Zodmas." Author's Note I realize this was a short chapter but I wanted to establish Zod and Terl in Ponyville in this chapter so that next chapter we can see them interact more with Pony society.
