“Zarbon , have I ever mentioned how much I adore the view of a planet before I destroy it?” Frieza asked his right-hand man. Over the years, he had proven himself capable of handling anything thrown his way. Because of this, he had become Frieza's highest ranking General.
“No, sir.”
“Oh, but I do. All the lowly peons down there. They have no idea what’s about to befall them.”
At that, the ceiling of Frieza’s room opened and his chair began lifting up, taking him along with it. Slowly, but surely, the tyrant made his way up. To him, this was always the best part of finding new planets. Sure, finding civilizations and pillaging them was enthralling, but killing all of the worthless peasants in one fell swoop was too much fun. He wasn’t quite sure why, though. Perhaps it was the thought of them all screaming out in horror at the same time. Or maybe it was the ensuing fireworks.
As Frieza stopped his ascent, he noticed a few stragglers had gathered outside of his ship. Not that there was any reason to worry, though. The worst these fools could do was tickle him. And so, he began charging up his supernova. The planet was of no use to him, as it wasn’t home to the coveted dragon balls. And since there was no reason the pathetic people down there should be allowed to live, he may as well destroy it.
As the ball forming on the tip of his finger suddenly began growing to an enormous size, the stragglers in front of him became stricken with fear. Frieza licked his lips in anticipation. Suddenly, without warning, he pointed his finger forward, launching the death ball at the planet. In an instant, all the stragglers who had gathered in front of his ship were incinerated. But as planned, the ball continued on its path before smashing into the planet. Slowly, it made its way towards the core, and Frieza began lowering back into his ship, content with watching the destruction through his window.
As his chair finally reclaimed its spot, he picked up a glass of wine and took a sip before replacing it on the table next to him.
“While I enjoy the show, I’d like you to set our course for the nearest planet, Zarbon.”
“Yes, Lord Frieza.”
As the door opened and closed after a few seconds, confirming Zarbon’s departure, Frieza turned his attention back to the planet in front of him.
“Yes, ma’am.”
Princess Celestia had just finish telling one of her newest guards his schedule for the week, and he was finally leaving her alone. It was time to relax. Getting up from her throne, she took notice of her younger sister trotting in quickly.
“You look eager, Luna.”
“What can I say? The carnival only comes to town once a year, and I never get to go.”
“Well, I just finished getting our latest recruit ready, so we can head out.”
Luna beamed at that, ecstatic that she could finally go to the carnival. Suddenly, though, her thoughts were cut off by a very frightful sensation hitting her like a brick. It sent chills up her spine, and Celestia felt the same way. After a few seconds, the chills stopped, and Celestia looked out a nearby window.
“Did you feel that, Luna?”
“Yes, but what was it, sister?”
“I’m not sure. It felt like millions of ponies crying out at once.”
Celestia was now pacing around the throne room of Canterlot Castle, her sister standing next to her, watching. Luna could tell that Celestia was troubled, and with good reason. It was as if millions of ponies had been wiped from existence in the blink of an eye. Very troubling indeed.
“What do you think could have happened, ‘Tia?”
“I’m not sure, Luna, but certainly nothing good.”
“Will the elements be needed?”
“No. At least, not right away. I’d like to see what’s happened first.”
“If you’d like, we could use my telescope, ‘Tia.”
The eldest alicorn nodded at her sister, and Luna began walking off, Celestia being quick to follow. As they walked through the many halls of Canterlot Castle, memories began to pour through them. They had defeated the likes of Discord, Sombra, and Celestia had even defeated her own sister in a mighty battle. But never before had either of the royal sisters felt so unsure of themselves.
“Dodoria , I have a job for you,” Frieza told one of his higher ranking henchman. Aside from Zarbon, Dodoria was one of the most efficient soldiers at Frieza's disposal. The pink blob may not have looked threatening, but he was definitely a lethal soldier.
“What is it, Master Frieza?”
“It’s come to my attention that we’ve arrived at our destination,” Frieza informed his henchman without even turning to look at him. At the moment, he was looking out of the ship’s main window, staring down at the planet below. Even he had to admit that it was... stunningly beautiful.
“And that’s where your job comes in. You and Zarbon are to escort me to the planet below. Once there, our main job will be to verify if the dragon balls are there.
“What if they aren’t, Master Frieza?” his henchman questioned, making him smirk. Thoughts instantly filled his mind. Thoughts of the luscious planet below being reduced to dust. It made him chuckle at the absurdity of the question. “Let’s go, Dodoria.”
“That’s impossible...”
“What is it, Luna?”
“I just charted the locations of every star and planet in the galaxy last week. But it seems as if one of the planets has disappeared,” she explained, a large amount of worry now evident in her voice.
“Do you-- do you think it could have been destroyed?”
“I’m not sure, sister. But I know for a fact that a planet was there only one week ago.”
“Well then I think it’s safe to assume that the chaos we just felt came from that very planet.”
“And that can’t mean anything good, ‘Tia. That planet showed no signs of damage, so it should be impossible for it to have been destroyed by natural causes.”
“Which means that something may have attacked it,” concluded Celestia. “Come, Luna, we need to summon Twilight and her friends to Canterlot.”
“Zarbon, I want you to go fetch the scouters. Before we leave the ship, I want to see what kind of powers we’re dealing with here.”
“Yes, Lord Frieza.”
Frieza watched as Zarbon left the room to gather scouters for them. As soon as the door shut, Dodoria turned towards him and voiced his thoughts.
“Do you really think there’s gonna be anyone here strong enough to lay a hand on us, sir?”
“Of course not, Dodoria, but we’ll need them just in case. But for now, let’s discuss the mission.”
“Of course, sir.”
“Alright, from what we can tell, this planet doesn’t have very many inhabitants. We need to keep a lookout for any sign of civilization. From there, we’ll simply tell them what we’re looking for.”
“But what if they get defensive, sir?”
“Then I make an example out of one of them. Besides, only a fool wouldn’t know who I am,” the tyrant boasted.
“What about Vegeta?”
“What about him, Dodoria?” Frieza questioned right back, unsure as to what Dodoria was getting at.
“Has he been informed of the plan?”
“That Saiyan rat disobeyed my orders and went to some backwater planet. If I see him, he’ll wish that he hadn’t.”
His leader’s confidence made Dodoria chuckle, and it soon developed into full-blown laughter between the two.
“There, I just sent a letter to Twilight informing her of our need for she and her friends.”
“Sister?”
“Yes, Luna?”
“What kind of creature could destroy a planet? Why would a creature destroy a planet?”
“I’m not sure, Luna. I’m even doubtful about the elements being able to defend us if this creature decides to attack us as well.”
The royal sisters looked glum, and with good reason. If the elements weren’t capable of defeating a threat, what would be?
“Hmm, the highest power level in the general vicinity is a little over three hundred thousand, but that should be no trouble for me.”
“Shall we pay the unsuspecting citizens of the planet a visit now, Lord Frieza?”
“Yes. Zarbon, open the doors.”
“Yes, sir.”
All the citizens of Ponyville were in awe. What looked like a spaceship had just landed on the outskirts of town, and all of the ponies were clamoring about, itching to get a look at the amazing piece of technology.
Suddenly, though, a door on the front of the ship opened, and three silhouettes instantly became visible.
Enter Frieza
As the doors opened, Frieza couldn’t believe what he saw. Tons of colorful equines standing around outside his ship, smiling at him. Perhaps they knew who he was, and this was their way of greeting him?
In any case, he slowly began moving his chair forward, taking him along with it. As Zarbon and Dodoria walked alongside him, he began speaking to them.
“Zarbon, you speak to them for me. Dodoria, you two keep an eye out for any troublemakers. If anyone tries anything, kill them.”
“Yes, Lord Frieza.”
“Yes, Master Frieza.”
After a few more moments, the three arrived in front of the group of equines.
“Greetings,” began Zarbon, hoping to finish up with these odd looking ponies as quickly as possible. “I was wondering if you might be able to help us out.”
At this, the ponies’ smiles grew even larger. It seemed that these fools would be willing to do anything they told them to.
“What do you need?” one called out to him.
“Recently, I’ve gathered knowledge about a certain set of powerful artifacts. Do you have anything like that here?”
The ponies began whispering amongst themselves, and after a few moments, one of them spoke up for the majority.
“What do you need them for?”
“We’d just like to take a look at them,” he lied. Now that he knew they were here, the search could finally stop, and Frieza could finally get what he’d wanted since he was only a child. Immortality.
Then he could kill them all.
“Something is here, sister.”
“Do you think it’s the creature, Luna?”
“I’m not sure. Just focusing on it makes me feel like my head is going to explode, though.”
“Then it must be. I only hope Twilight and her friends will arrive soon.”
The ponies were beginning to advance on them now, and it looked as if Zarbon and Dodoria were about to act. But before they had the chance, Frieza lifted up a hand, gesturing for them to hold their positions. Soon enough, the ponies had him fully surrounded, and were asking questions like crazy.
He had never seen a group of peasants so willing to talk to him, and quite frankly, he found it annoying. So, he began to slowly survey the equines that had surrounded him. It was time to shut them up.
As he continued to observe the ponies that were pestering him with questions, he took notice of a peculiar grey one in the crowd. It had what seemed to be crossed eyes, and a blonde mane. As soon as the pony reached him, its wings lifted it into the air and it flew up next to him. The next thing he knew, the pony was poking him.
“Hehe, you look silly!”
Instead of responding, Frieza simply waited for the pony to fly away. As it did, he slowly lifted his hand, extending his index finger towards the equine. What happened next, nobody could predict.
“Bang.”
Before any of the ponies could even react, the grey one was frozen in midair, a pink beam going through its wing and making a hole. After a few seconds, the beam dissipated and the pony fell to the ground, its wing smoldering. The ponies began screaming in terror, suddenly afraid of the new arrival to their planet.
Frieza? He simply smirked.

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.

Zarbon winced as the scouter adorning his face shattered and fell to the ground, smoldering.
“That can’t be right. It read a power level of over one million.”
That caught Frieza’s attention, and he narrowed his eyes. “A million, you say?”
Before Zarbon had a chance to respond, Frieza had already activated his scouter. Looking in the same direction Zarbon had, he was stunned to see that the scouter had been right. Quick to turn his off before it shattered, he looked back at Zarbon.
“Well, Zarbon, it seems the equines here have more fight in them than we thought.”
“P-princess?”
“Do not move, Rainbow Dash. You sustained serious injury when that monster hit you.”
Taking a moment to survey her surroundings, Rainbow Dash came to the conclusion that she must be in the princess’ room. The dark blue colors, the curtains that looked like stars in the night sky. There was no doubt that she was in Luna’s bedroom.
“But I feel fine, Luna, look I can─” Rainbow Dash was cut off as an enormous amount of pain coursed through her. Maybe moving wasn’t such a good idea after all. So, she relaxed her muscles and fell back onto the bed she had found herself on, landing with a soft thud.
“Perhaps you should have listened, Rainbow Dash,” Luna said in a ‘told-you-so’ manner, giggling at the end. “But let’s not delay any further. You’re wondering how I defeated that monster so swiftly, correct?”
“Yeah, it was so awesome!” Rainbow yelled excitedly.
“Haha, yes, I suppose it was ‘awesome’. I did it by focusing an enormous amount of my magic into one attack. As a result, I am almost completely drained.”
“Drained…?” Rainbow questioned confusedly. Did Luna mean that her magic was totally gone? Nah, that was impossible, she thought to herself. Luna was too awesome for that to happen. Right?
“I will be unable to use all but the most basic of magic for a few days, Rainbow Dash. That last attack was one of my most powerful, so my body is tired out. Fear not, for my magic is not gone. It is simply more tiring to use at the moment. So it will be a few days before I can manage another attack like that. Until then, I will be much like you.”
“A pegasus?”
“Exactly,” Luna confirmed. “I need time to allow my magical energy to accumulate.” It was the last thing that anypony would want to hear, but it had essentially been said. For the time being, Luna was no longer the all-powerful ruler she so often proved herself to be.
“Um, Princess Luna, where’s Fluttershy?”
“Your friends are currently in the war room, planning a counter-offensive against the extraterrestrials who have invaded our planet and pillaged your town.”
“Um, can you say that in words I’ll understand? Hehe…”
Luna giggled and complied. “They’re planning an attack on the ones who attacked Ponyville.”
“Oh, that makes a lot more sense, then.”
“What did you think I had meant,” Luna questioned with a smirk, to which Rainbow Dash simply blushed in embarrassment.
“N-nothing. Let’s just go to the war room or whatever.”
“I’m sorry, Rainbow Dash, but we must remain here for the time being. Your wounds have not yet healed.”
“What wounds?” she questioned the diarch, “my body looks completely fine.”
“Not true, Rainbow Dash. When your body hit the ground, three of your ribs cracked. The only reason you did not feel it at that exact moment was because of the enormous amount of adrenaline coursing throughout your body.”
“Oh…” she replied lamely.
“I’m telling you, princess, there’s no way we can hide from them!” Twilight yelled at her mentor as Luna walked into the war room. Seeing Rainbow Dash so dejected had taken it out of her. But this was even worse. Never before had she seen Twilight yell at her sister with such fervor.
“I’m surprised by your behavior, Twilight,” replied her mentor. “You of all ponies should know that giving up is unacceptable.”
“And what is that supposed to mean?! The town that I’ve come to call home over the past three years was just attacked by aliens!”
“That does not mean that we can not hide until a plan has been made.”
“Twilight Sparkle is right, sister,” Luna interjected, deciding she had had enough arguing. “The alien I killed had some sort of device. He seemed to be using it to see how powerful I was, so there’s a chance it can be used to locate ponies from a distance.”
For the first time in a long time, Celestia looked dejected. If that was the case, then all hope was lost. The aliens would lay waste to Equestria, and there was nothing she could do about it.
“But fear not, sister,” Luna tried to alleviate Celestia’s fears, “the device shattered as I was building up my magical energy. So if we can get close enough, we could destroy them.”
“That’s very risky, Luna,” Twilight warned her. “...but it might be our only chance.”
“Very well,” Celestia finished up the discussion. “Any volunteers to try and destroy them?”
At that moment, Twilight and her friends all conveniently looked away and began whistling. The motion caused Celestia and Luna to chuckle. It seemed as if it had come down to them.
“It looks as if we will have to take care of it ourselves, Luna. Very well, at least this way, we won’t be risking any of the bearers.”
“Actually, ‘Tia, I know somepony who might be able to do this for us.”
Celestia raised an eyebrow at that. “Oh?”
“Yes, sister. Rainbow Dash seemed rather excited about the prospect of helping us take down the extraterrestrials.”
“That is out of the question, Luna. Her wounds have yet to heal.”
“Yes, but I know that you have the ability to heal ponies, sister.”
“No, Luna,” Celestia stated firmly, hoping her sister would back down. Unfortunately, that was not the case.
“No, ‘Tia. You are going to heal her, and you are going to let her be, um, awesome.”
Luna’s use of the word ‘awesome’ made everypony in the room giggle, Celestia included.
“Very well, Luna,” she said as her fit of giggling came to an end. “But if harm comes upon Rainbow Dash, you will be held accountable.”
“I understand.”
“The process of healing her will also be very painful for her. I need all of you to help keep her calm while I perform the procedure.”
“You can count on us, right girls?” Twilight questioned, knowing her friends would do anything to help Rainbow.
“Mmhm!,” they all confirmed, to which Twilight beamed.
Meanwhile, Rainbow Dash was lying idly on Luna’s bed. If only she could do something to help. She would punch that short guy right in the face. Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door to the bedroom opening, though, and he turned to see who it was. Upon seeing all of her friends, and both princesses, she could only stare in confusion as they stared right back at her.
“What?”
