The mane 6 were headed to stop another snoring dragon, when a manticore came out of nowhere. This time he wasn't hurt, he was NASTY! Fluttershy tried to tame him, but instead of calming down, the manticore swung his claws at her face and scratched her right beneath her eye, causing her face to bleed. She ran back to her friends, crying. Twilight shot a pink beam at him and caused him to fall down. He clawed at Applejack, and cut up her leg badly, but not before she bucked him in the mouth, causing him to lose some teeth. Rarity tried to punch him, but he cut her forehead before she could. Fluttershy was still hiding. Rainbow Dash kicked him left and right, while Twilight struck beams at him, and Pinkie shot him with her party canon. The manticore was finally dead. They found Fluttershy in a nearby bush. After the battle, they continued on their journey up the mountain. They tried to be as quiet as possible, they were in the same spot where the avalanche Fluttershy caused the last journey was. Without warning the dragon awoke from his sleep and roared as load as he could.
