While the many equines surrounding him were beginning to scatter and run about, Frieza slowly lifted an arm up and activated his scouter; stunning the ponies into silence. For a few moments, he remained that way, using his scouter to track the power levels of every pony in the group. The highest here seemed to be about ten, so he had yet to find the mysterious source of the three hundred thousand power level.

“Oh my Celestia, she’s using some sort of alien technology!” yelled out a pony in the crowd, breaking the silence. The statement made Frieza’s blood boil. How dare that stupid yellow pony call him a female!

Slowly, he opened his hand, exposing his palm, and aimed it at the equine who had dared to disrespect him in such a crude way. With no warning, he fired a ki wave at the dirty animal, and it didn’t even see it coming, and it collided with her head, singing her orange mane. By the time the beam dissipated, her face was nothing more than a charred black spot. There was no doubt about it; the equine was dead. But that wasn’t the end of the carnage. Not by a long shot.

“Did you feel that, Luna?”

“Yes, sister. I've never felt such a foul presence in my life.”

“Luna, I want you to go to Ponyville right away. None of them stand a chance against this creature.”

“What will you do, sister?”

“I will stay here in case something happens to Canterlot.”

“You truly think I can handle the creature, sister?”

“No. You are to stay away from the creature at all costs, unless the situation is dire. In that case, I will sense your distress and make my way to you,” Celestia explained to her younger sister. “There also appears to be two other creatures, but they come nowhere close to rivaling this one’s power. You can handle those two easily. For now, though, just go to Twilight’s home and bring she and her friends back.”

“Alright, I’ll be going now, ‘Tia.”

“Okay. And Luna?”

“Hmm?”

“Good luck.”

With nothing more to say, Luna nodded, then turned around and took to the air and flew out of a nearby window, beginning her journey towards Ponyville in order to give whatever kind of assistance she could.

Lowering his arm back down, Frieza issued an order. “Dodoria, kill them.”

“Hehe, with pleasure.”

By this point, almost every pony had fled back to the nearby village, taking the injured grey mare with them, but a small few remained. Four in total, Frieza observed, and they stood no chance against Dodoria. Still, seeing them stand their ground shocked him. Most people who stood in his way would’ve fled in terror, but these equines stood strong.

“If I may ask, Lord Frieza, why have Dodoria kill them? We won’t find the dragon balls if he kills the ones who know where they are,” Zarbon pointed out as they watched Dodoria advance on the equines.

“I plan on trying to find the equine with a power level of three hundred thousand, Zarbon. It’s most likely the leader of these peasants, so it will know where the dragon balls are.”

“Ah, I see. Well, I suppose you know best.”

As their brief conversation came to a close, Frieza and Zarbon turned their attention back to Dodoria. It seemed as if he was ready to attack. Before any of the equines could even brace themselves, he had already appeared behind one. In an instant, he grabbed it by its tail and began spinning it around. Once it was spinning fast enough, he released it, sending it flying off into the distance to its doom.

The next one suffered an even worse fate. Before it could comprehend that Dodoria had moved, it was already dead, Dodoria’s fist making a hole clean through its skull. As one of the remaining two equines attempted to blindside him, he simply extended his free hand outwards and fired a ki wave at it, the blast killing it instantly. Quickly, he removed his hand from the second equine’s skull and turned to face the last remaining one.

It looked to be a small yellow equine with a pink mane. This one was different from the rest, though. Rather than standing her ground, she seemed to be too terrified to move. A pity, thought Frieza. And here he thought it would at least try to fight back.

Frieza smirked as Dodoria pulled his arm back, ready to inflict a killing blow on the equine. But as soon as the smirk had found its way onto his lips, it was wiped off. Dodoria had just been kicked in the head, and none of them had seen it coming. The kick sent the pink soldier flying away from the pony he had just been ready to kill. But at the same time, a sense of thrill made its way through Frieza. It seemed as if he would get his fight after all.

But that wasn’t the best part. The equine who had kicked him away looked absolutely ridiculous. A rainbow mane and tail? Then again, it looked furious at the same time. Not that it stood a chance of saving the other pony, though. They were both doomed to a gruesome death.

Rainbow Dash slowly surveyed her surroundings. That big lummox that she had kicked away from Fluttershy had slammed headfirst into a tree. Though, there seemed to be two more creatures a few yards away, staring her down. For a moment, she thought of dashing headlong at them, but that would most likely do nothing but get her killed. After all, she had just watched the smallest of the three kill Golden Harvest like it was nothing. It was a good thing she had woken up from her nap when she did.

And so, she turned around and grabbed Fluttershy before taking off into the sky.

Frieza couldn’t help but chuckle inwardly at how an equine had managed to send Dodoria flying through a tree. But once said equine took off with its friend, his blood began to boil.

“Oh, Dodoria! Are you going to stay there all day, or are you going to kill those pests?!”

At that, Dodoria came to his senses and dislodged himself from the tree before taking off after the equine who had dared to interfere with his fun. After all, he was lucky Frieza hadn’t killed him on the spot for being incompetent. Quickly, he took to the skies, ready to make the equine who had ruined his fun pay dearly.

“Alright, girls, so you all understand the plan?”

Rarity, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie responded to Twilight’s question with nods of affirmation, making her smile.

“Excellent! Rainbow Dash should be back with Fluttershy soon, and then we can leave.”

As if to punctuate the end of her sentence, her number one assistant belched loudly, a letter forming out of the green mist and landing on the floor in front of him. The scroll was quickly enveloped in a pink aura and levitated over to Twilight, her eyes quickly scanning it. Once she was done she didn’t lower the letter, but instead looked past it, towards her friends who looked to be eager to hear what had been written.

“Bad news, girls. The princess has ordered that we stay indoors, and make no attempts to go outside. Princess Luna is on her way to escort us to Canterlot personally.”

“Why in tarnation can’t we step outside?”

“I agree with Applejack. It looks simply marvelous outside, so what’s wrong?”

“Yeah, Twilight! It looks super-duper pretty out there!”

Hearing all of her friends complain about the letter made Twilight herself question it. She had been given no reasons from either of the two letters she’d received that day. What was the princess hiding from them?

“Maybe there’s a... m-monster!” yelled her assistant, only helping to make the already tense situation even worse. With the things that Ponyville had been through in recent years, it wasn’t as crazy as it sounded. Perhaps there really was a monster lurking through Ponyville. And if that was the case, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy were in trouble.

“Believe me girls, I want to do nothing more than go out there and find Rainbow and Fluttershy, but the princess gave us an order.”

Everyone in the library looked dejected, but a royal decree was a royal decree, no matter who it was sent to. It didn’t matter if they were happy or not. They were to stay put until Luna arrived.

Making her way to Ponyville was a slow affair, thought Luna. But heck, it was better than not helping at all. Whatever was in Ponyville was too strong to challenge alone, but that didn’t mean she couldn’t help Twilight and her friends save the day yet again. Ever since the incident with Chrysalis, the queen of the changelings, she had felt immense guilt. Things could have gone differently had she been there.

But now was no time to relive her previous mistakes. She had a chance to atone for them, and she was going to use it to her advantage. Kicking it into overdrive, she expected to arrive at Ponyville in less than five minutes.

Suddenly, though, something caught her eye.

As Rainbow Dash continued flying away, Fluttershy held tightly in her grasp, she couldn’t help but look back. As soon as she did, she regretted it. The guy who had been following her, whom she had heard called ‘Dodoria’, was nowhere to be seen. And that certainly wasn’t good. But there was no reason to stop, and she quickly turned back around.

Only to be hit in the face by a large pink hand and launched towards the ground below. Turning herself to avoid having Fluttershy hit first, she hit the ground at enormous speeds, causing a small crater to form around her. Looking up groggily, she could see that the creature was flying straight at her, elbow extended outwards.

“You’re mine, fools!”

Just as it seemed as if all hope was lost, Dodoria was sent flying away by a blast of blue magic, yelling the whole time. The magic had come from above, and that could only mean one thing.

As the pony came into view, Rainbow’s suspicions were confirmed. But her joy was short lived, as Dodoria had found his feet and flown back into the air, scowling at the new arrival. She just hoped the princess could handle him by herself.

“How dare you blindside me like that!”

As the creature yelled at her, the princess was busy thinking. There was no way this was the strongest of the creatures, so taking him down would be trivial. Time to put her rarely used fighting magic to good use.

“No. How dare you attack innocent ponies for naught but amusement.”

As Luna replied, Dodoria took notice of the crown sitting atop her head. A revelation to him. If this one was the ruler and he got the location of the dragon balls from it, they could leave this backwater planet. It was time to suck up.

“My apologies, your majesty. We were a bit... overzealous.”

“I am no fool, ‘Dodoria’. My strength is not limited to the physical plane, but stretches to the mental one as well. I know a liar when I see one.”

Curses! he thought to himself. He would have to get a little dirty to get the information he wanted. “Very well. If you don’t tell me where the dragon balls are, I’ll have to extract the information from you.”

“You dare to challenge me?” she questioned, knowing full well that this fool stood no chance against her.

“You’re just a stupid horse. This is gonna be child’s play.”

As if to punctuate his sentence, Dodoria raised one of his arms up and turned on his scouter in order to get a reading on her power level. Slowly, the number began to rise.

10,000...

20,000

30,000

40,000

50,000...

And then it shattered.

Before Dodoria even had time to blink, Luna fired an enormous blast of magic at the wretch. It consumed him almost instantly, not even giving him enough time to scream. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had to shield their eyes just to avoid having them burned out of their skulls.

“W-what’s h-happening, Rainbow?!” yelled a terrified Fluttershy.

“Luna is pissed off, that’s what’s happening!” she yelled back.

As the beam of magic dissipated, and Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy took a look at the action, they saw that nothing remained of Dodoria. Even his ashes had been burned up in an instant. But it seemed as if the princess was proud of what she had done.

One down, thought Luna.
