It was a peaceful day in Maretropelis, was the most interesting in the HQ of not only one of its many protectors but it’s most famous: the Power Ponies.
Deep within the Hideout, the Masked Matterhorn was examining piece of machinery looking similar to a claw and a head on a table in the lab. She had several notes strewn around the table showing she had spent several hours examining the device. Across the room a door slid open and a pony walked through it. More specifically, a cyan Pegasus with a black suit on and a lighting bolt shaped pendant around her neck, the Power Pony, Zapp. Zapp saw what Matterhorn was doing and walked over to see what exactly it was.
“Hey Twilight, whatch’ya lookin at?” Zapp asked the Alicorn, curious at just what the heck the device was. She had known Matterhorn’s identity as well as the other team members in order to create trust between all of them.
Twilight looked up from the machine on the table and at Zapp to answer her question. “Hey Dash, I was just examining this piece of machinery from that the crime.”
“The one pulled off by that guy’s goons?” Rainbow inquired. Those goons were working for someone eviler than the Mane-iac, but we’ll save that for later.
“Yeah. The guy who ran the whole thing carried this thing. It’s mechanics are a lot different that anything usual. It’s inner workings deep inside always shift like something’s about to attach to it. I’m waiting for one of the others to come by so that I can do further experiments on this thing safely.” Twilight explained to explain the uniqueness in this device.
“I’m here and the others are helping out the guys with their patrols today, so we could do the test with me.” Dash stated confident her awesomeness would prevent something from going wrong.
Twilight thought about this. “Well… I was waiting for Rarity or Applejack to come, as they would seem easier to contain it. I don’t see why not.” She than moved her notes off the table making room for more notes as the experiment was about to move on. She brought out several things, Drills, logs, batteries, both mechanical and non-mechanical devices, about to see where this would go. ”Get ready Dash, who know what might happen.”
Twilight than slowly put a drill next to the claw-head thing and as if like a predator waiting to strike, it attached the cord to itself where it put the drill parallel to the claw still attached. When it looked like that was it the drill than changed Making an Odd Noise, as it soon became an exact copy of the claw on the opposite side.
Twilight and Dash only looked in awe at what just happened.
“That…was…Awesome!” Rainbow exclaimed as the machine had just changed the workings of another to better accommodate the new attachment.
Twilight quickly jotted down what just occurred on her notes than put a wooden log next to the machine, and nothing happened even as she had the log touching the device. ”Interesting,” she said as she jotted down this new data. “Apparently this thing absorbs things. But this showed it would only absorb other machines. Anything else it doesn't even try to connect with.”
Dash already thought that the same thing would happen with the other stuff like the drill and the log. So she grabbed the batteries. “We already know what’s gonna happen, so why don’t we end it with this thing?”
Twilight grew worried, as Dash was about to put the batteries on the machine. “Rainbow, not yet. We have no clue what might happen if you put those things-”
“Where’s the egghead in you Twilight? I’m pretty positive we’ll be able to take care of this” dash said confident that this was a good idea.
The batteries feel onto the machine and as if the machine was made of quicksand, the batteries slowly sank in. immediately after, two cords from under where the eyes on the head were shot out, wrapped around two flashlights Twilight had on the table and pulled back with now only the lens of the flashlight visible. Dash sighed relieved knowing it was over very quick. She was startled as the machine got up, standing on it’s claws, and the flashlight now where the eyes were opened just like any pair of eyes could, glowing a bright menacing green. The tiny robot would’ve fallen over had the back not taken the 2nd drill Twilight brought out turning it into another claw.
It than looked around the room as if doing an assessment of where it was, than proceeded to look directly at Twilight and Rainbow Dash.
“Maybe it’s friendl-” Rainbow’s sentence was cut off as the foal sized robot was attempting to absorb her thinking she was a machine. Dash screamed freaked out at how this thing was trying to attach to her.
She managed to get it off but threw it across the room… right into the vacuum cleaner. Dash and Twilight gulped hearing the noises as the robot took the vacuum, and changed again. When it got up it was roughly the size of a filly, and the vacuum became the thing’s throat. The robot then used the tubes on the vacuums to swing up out of the caves. Not long after that a wirewolf came in, but much different than any other, he was a mix of fiery red, fiery orange and gold with two phoenix wings on his back and the end of his snout was more shaped like a beak. This was Rodan.
Dash did not hesitate to tell Rodan what happened. “Marty we were fiddling with the machine we found from the heist, I added some batteries, than the next thing we know, that thing’s my size and swings out.”
Rodan, or Marty took in the information than spoke. “Well that explains how I saw a robot swing past me going into the city.”
Twilight did not take into account that the thing would get into the city. In fact she didn’t take into account this would happen at all. “Quick let’s contact the others.”
She, Rainbow and Marty quickly made their way to the supercomputer that allowed all of the heroes to stay in contact incase a huge crime just occurred. When Twilight pressed some buttons, the faces of Humdrum, Mistress Marevelous, and Saddle Rager appeared. The 4 faces those of The team Marty was part of were also on the screen: a wirewolf that was dark purple with sickly green eyes and mouth, a Wirewolf but in the appearance of a Timberwolf, a wirewolf that appeared to be a hybrid of changeling, and a wirewolf that appeared to be made of pure shadow. Shadow Blot, Timberwolf, Masque, and Dusk. ”Guy’s, I was looking at that weird machine with Dash when we put something on it and it just absorbed that thing like a rock in water. There was a tussle and that thing made it into the city.”
Timberwolf laughed at this a little. ”Something broke out and will possibly destroy the city? For once it isn’t my fault.”
Masque was the one who responded to this. ”Terry that doesn’t make this any better than the fact that thing absorbs machines.”
“You can worry about that wherever you are Joe, while I’m in the Woodchipper and” Terry realized his next words. ”Chain… saw…” a window breaking could be heard on his screen. “SLAG!!” Terry’s screen went off.
Saddle Rager panicked as soon as Terry’s screen shut off. “Terry! What’re we gonna do?”
Shadow Blot, leader of Marty’s team, responded to calm her down. “The ironic part is this would usually be the part where Terry would suggest we let Fluttershy get mad than just sit back.”
Marty retorted at his response. ”True. But we should really help him Ricky.”
Everyone nodded than turned off their screens than Twilight, Dash and Marty flew out the same way the robot went and towards the store Terry was at. Just as they expected, Terry ran out of the store away from the robot, which now had chainsaws for hands, the claws for feet, and the woodchipper attached to the vacuum that was it’s throat. Not to mention this thing was the size of Rainbow Dash. The thing had learned to use the vacuum in it’s throat as it created a vacuum in it’s mouth sucking in several things, and the woodchipper devoured everything that gets trapped in the vacuum. Terry was about to unfortunately become one of those things. Luckily Twilight fired a beam of ice at the mouth stopping the vacuum. Dash got Terry out of the way as the ice folded in as the force of the vortex brought it into the woodchipper. The robot used it’s vacuum to draw in Twilight who was trying her hardest to fight back against the suction, and the tubes to smash another appliance store taking a couple vacuums, absorbing them making the vacuum stronger. Out of its sight, Mistress Marevelous and Humdrum jumped off a roof and onto the robot’s head riding it like a bull, causing the robot to react in the exact same way, causing Humdrum to fall off. The machine began to walk around dizzily as Mistress Marevelous jumped off than applebucked it into a building.
Terry got up and went to Mistress Marevelous.“ Applejack, you made it. Wait where’s our Ace-in-the-hole?”
Applejack looked around than sighed. “Hiding after she saw you almost getting eaten by a woodchipper.”
A scream was in the air as everyone present turned to the hole in the building made by the robot. Twilight recognized the scream.
“Filli-Second!”
Everyone ran inside to see Joe and the pony dressed in a white and purple jumpsuit Filli-Second throwing things at the machine, which it dodged some and got hit by others. Specifically with Joe he threw several machines while Pinkie threw cakes from a cake window.
Twilight had to tell Joe as quick as possible. “Joe each machine you throw at him just makes him bigger.”
This was true as the robot was now the size of anyone on Shadow Blot’s team.
Joe stated this as he had been doing this for a while. “Well now you tell me.”
“That doesn’t explain why Pinkie Pie’s pelting him with cake.”
Pinkie objected to this as she thought of something else. “I’m not pelting him with cake, I’m assaulting him with cake!” she than ran somewhere instantly coming back to add more cakes to the pile she sat on, only for them to all be sucked in by the robot’s vortex along with a bunch of machines in Joe’s pile.
Pinkie was furious at this. “How dare you take the cake?!” her exclaimer was forgotten as this thing changed and was now half the size of Saddle Rager when angry smashing up the building and walking out.
Twilight directed everyone to follow her as the thing moved off. “C’mon, if this keeps up who knows how big it’ll be?” everyone complied than moved off following her… Except Marty who dragged Pinkie along who was in shock as her favorite sweet spot was now rubble.
Everyone followed the obvious trail of destruction left by the robot but stopped as the trail just ended, meeting up with Fluttershy and Ricky and Dusk.
Dusk spoke to Twilight as how it appeared the situation just went. “You lost it too?”
Twilight sighed. “Pretty much Aaron.”
“If that’s true than- why is that alleyway glowing green?”
Everyone turned at what Ricky was talking about and saw the robot looking directly at them from the alleyway making the sound of something powering up. Pinkie pie than shouted words that everyone was thinking as it powered up.
“Run for your lives!!”
As if timed, the jaws of the robots mouth opened up and created a vacuum sucking in everything not secure into the ground. Everyone managed to hold onto something sturdy except for Dash who attempted to take this thing down.
“All right, I started this, now I’ll finish this!” Rainbow exclaimed as she blasted the robot with a lighting bolt. She automatically regretted her decision as the vortex’s speed grew even faster drawing more objects becoming bigger with each machine unlucky enough to fall in. eventually the suction was to much for her wings to resist against, causing her to be drawn in closer an closer. “Nooooooo!”
When it appeared she was about to become puree chili, a single gleaming feather was shot at the robot’s mouth causing it to gag and choke, closing the vortex as the feather got lodged in it’s throat. When Rainbow Dash looked up, she saw a griffon in gleaming armor with wrist guns armed with the same type of feather that just saved her life, and then the Griffon spoke. “Eaten by a robot? I thought you wanted to go out cooler than that Dash.”
Rainbow Automatically knew that voice. “Gilda?”
“The one and only.”
Dash couldn’t help herself but bring the griffon into hug. She broke but couldn’t help but ask her old friend a question. ”One, what are you doing here? And two, how’d you know that was me?”
“I had some time to myself a little and thought I should respect your choice in friends despite my opinion on them, so I decided to come here to apologize, since you moved here, about what happened back in Ponyville. I heard saw you guys on the news once and automatically recognized you fight some weirdo with a big mane. After that I thought to myself, ‘hey if Dash can make it look cool so can I.’ so I decided to use the name Silver Talon. I know, awesome right? But to be honest, tonight was actually my first patrol and I didn’t expect it to get as crazy as this.” Gilda said that last sentence pointing to the robot, which was just about finished with getting the feather out of its throat. “You guys and those guys over there wouldn’t happen to have any others friends that could help would you?” Gilda queried thinking as this thing might be too much even for her.
As the robot was about to charge for an attack, a bow struck it in its right forearm causing it to fall flat on its stomach. Everyone looked to see a mare in a purple spandex outfit with pink highlights on a rooftop holding a cello shaped bow and another bow ready to be used as an arrow. Next to her was a white unicorn mare with a blue and light blue mane in a spandex outfit the same color as her mane, with the light blue at the seams, sporting some cool shades. Rainbow smiled than spoke to Gilda about her earlier question.
“Gilda, meet Vinyl and Octavia, or known by everyone else, Bow and Bass.”
Vinyl and Octavia jumped down in front of the alleyway as the robot attempted to get back up. Vinyl than whipped out a huge speaker than changed showing more speakers on the side, than spoke. “THIS is why they call me Bass!!”
She than fired the speaker and it let out a huge blast of sound smashing through the robot’s left arm causing it to almost fall completely, but it used it’s right hand to prevent it from leaning more, but not before a piece of it’s face was singed by the cannon. The robot turned, the left side of it’s face burnt from the speaker than once again activated it’s vortex sucking in the speaker and would’ve gotten Vinyl to, had Octavia pulled her out of the way as the suction pulled her in.
Vinyl than shouted in anguish, as her speaker flew towards the robot, smashing into where the vocal cords would be than sinking in.
“My Bass cannon!”
The vortex also took in a emergency generator from a store rebuilding it’s left arm, but that didn’t explain how the machine was suddenly holding it’s head as if in sudden pain just from taking the Bass cannon, when it stopped it looked calm and attempted to say something. ”Prelagh…. Prepalg… ”
This amazed Twilight. “The Bass cannon must be affecting his processer. He’s becoming… intelligent.”
Rainbow sighed. “Great another egghead.”
Fluttershy was happy about this. ”I bet now he’ll have the sweetest voic-” she was interrupted as the Robot articulated much as expected but much differently.
“Prepare to meet your doom! For with the help of Bass I have become my destiny! Look at me, tremble in fear, for I am the dominator, I am the destroyer, I am invincible…I…am…Devastator!!!!”
When Devastator spoke his name, the sounded echoed across the entire city. He than looked directly at the heroes in front of him, and his mechanical emotionless face grinned evilly.
Twilight than came back to reality from her awe at it’s words, and spoke. ”Power Ponies, take down Devastaahhh!!” her train of thought was interrupted as Devastator raised his right hand and about to bring it down on Twilight. Only a light pink chain held it in place preventing him from attempting him to strike. Twilight turned to see Radiance in he middle of the street her bracelet glowing. “And where were you Rarity?”
Rarity apologized for her tardiness. “So terribly sorry Twilight, I just had to choose how to look when we take out this ruffian.”
Devastator smashed the chained on his hand to the ground shattering it. His mouth charged up, releasing a blast of sound from his mouth, signaling he had learned how to use the Bass cannon, but not it’s aim as it missed everyone and smashed a building behind them.
Twilight saw how much damage the blast did to the building than had an epiphany. “Rarity make a mirror in front of me when I say so.” Twilight than turned to look directly at Devastator, a mischievous smirk on her face at how humble this machine wasn't. ”Hey scrapheap is that you or is that a Nightmare Night costume?” Devastator than shot a blast of bass at her for such an insult at a mighty being like him, whom had no equal in size or power. “Now!” Twilight shouted to Radiance queuing her to make a mirror in front of her, causing the beam to bounce back, flinging Devastator across the city into the construction site of a new building for Pythor Enterprises. Everyone ran or flew straight there in order to make sure nothing bad happened there. When they got there, they found their currently worst fear: Construction vehicles, and Pythor Enterprises tech. and Devastator was right in the middle of this.
“The big enchilada as it’s said.” Devastator than turned and saw an artificial Black Hole generator built and appearing much smaller than the average one. “How wonderful, I was hoping to stumble upon something like this.” He than grabbed the generator and threw it into the cement mixer (as Ricky’s team volunteered to help with the construction). “Time to do as my Ancestor did and merge for the kill!”
He then jumped into the mixer in the center of it all, shooting a piece of him into each machine. A generating sound was heard than all of the machines changed some until their original form was not recognized had they not kept their colors. The hook excavators shovel turned around inserting itself into the machine and hole in it’s left and right sides were made somehow and it shot out wires to the mixer drawing it in and fusing the pieces together and the hood of the mixer changed becoming a face with 2 pairs of eyes. The two dump trucks behind the excavator changed looking like a z than attached to the butt of the machine becoming legs. 2 of the 3 Bulldozers attached themselves to the holes in the sides of the machine than stretched out becoming similar to arms. The 3rd one changed its shovel into 3 separate ones looking similar to claws that it used to crawl into place of the right arm, which slammed onto it snapping to place creating the right hand. The crane barely changed as the beam stayed in place and it’s front changed into 3 fingers and the crane then attached to the Bulldozer creating the left arm. All four limbs got up lifting the giant, and it’s face made a few sounds than it’s eyes glowed green and it opened it’s mouth revealing rows of blades for teeth and a evil grin.
Devastator was now complete.
And based on how he looked, now the full size of Saddle Rager when angered. When he spoke, it was even deeper and louder than when he was smaller.
“Let us see what else I can do.”
There was little bit of trouble but Devastator managed to activate his Vortex Grinder, which was now even stronger than ever before, as he had absorbed the black hole generator. Now with more power even some things that were very sturdily planted into the ground were torn from their roots and sucked into Devastator’s mouth than being grinded up and smoke coming out of his back. Luckily Radiance created an orb around everyone to prevent them all from meeting the fates of several non-machine objects that were sucked in while the machine items were attached to it but Devastator kept his still massive size.
“Well I can see attempting to annihilate you now will do no good. If you will excuse me, I have a city to dispose of then a world to conquer.”
Devastator than walked away his Vortex Grinder still on tearing apart a few buildings in the process. With Devastator gone, Radiance got rid of the bubble everyone landed, Terry smirking. “Again, something will destroy the city and it wasn’t my fault.”
“Either way, let’s take him down.” Ricky spoke than flying, joined by the others, toward Devastator who lived up to his name and left a path of Devastation and Ruin.
When Devastator first formed some conscious thought, he made a mental checklist:
‘1. Shout name both dramatically and evilly to show power. (Check)
2. Accumulate mass until at size able to conquer surrounding area with ease. (Check)
3. Destroy Random building to release urge to randomly destroy so more calm when moving to capital. (In-Progress)
4. Move towards capital of this country and conquer rulers. (#3 moving in direction of location)
5. Rule with Iron Fist. (Literally and Metaphorically, Not long after #4 based on current size)
6. Figure out cause of buzzing in my ear (Metaphorically speaking) telling me to do 3-5. (Top Priority immediately after-’
“Stop right there, Devastator!”
‘New #1 on mental checklist: Destroy the Power Ponies and their allies, ONCE AND FOR ALL!!’
Devastator than turned around and swung his right hand, which released 4 steel cables in a fashion similar to what he used to escape the Power Ponies Headquarters, aiming directly at the flyers which were Zapp, Silver Talon, Masked Matterhorn, Rodan, Masque (Who had taken the form of a Thunderbird) and Shadow Blot. Silver Talon shot at more steel feathers at the cables flinging them into 4 different buildings. Shadow Blot shot 3 pieces of himself at Devastator, which turned into weird dwarf things that attempted to bite him, but Devastator just opened his mouth, chomping all 3 creatures. Devastator spit them out in disgust.
“Are you made of ink? Because that is exactly what they taste like, and what was hat supposed to do besides leave an bitter aftertaste in my mouth?”
“1. Yes, yes I am. And 2. That was meant to keep you occupied for a second. Dusk, Timberwolf, NOW!” Ricky shouted to Aaron and Terry, the latter who created a large cable out of wood using the power’s of his namesake, than wrapping it around Devastator’s Right Foot. Aaron manipulated Devastator’s shadow to have it wrap around his left foot. Terry and Aaron went in opposite directions away from Devastator bringing in both his feet together in time for Rodan to shot a fireball at Devastator’s face causing him to tilt back and almost fall… right on a pet store full of animals, which Fluttershy was near in the middle of the street close to the pet store, but far away enough so that Devastator wouldn’t crush her. She looked away as it seemed Devastator was about to crash into the store, but looked to see his left hand in front of him preventing him from falling but his right hand was raised in the air and he looked directly at her. When Devastator saw the slight look of relief on her face when he didn’t crash, his let a evil grin form on his face as he brought his hand down on the pet store, smashing it into a flat square with remains of wall on the side, while looking her dead in the eye still smiling, then breaking eye contact and walking away in the opposite direction using the rocket boosters he stole from the construction site to glide at a amazing speed towards the park so that when he destroys the heroes, no tall buildings can restrain his reach, leaving Saddle Rager alone with her thoughts: A great and colossal rage, which was building up within her very being.
‘He destroyed that building full of all those innocent animals…He didn’t even look sorry. That great Big MEANIE!!!’
She began to clench her teeth in anger at what he did and was becoming blind with anger, so she didn’t see that her vision was going red and her light yellow coat was becoming a darker gold shade. Nor how it was harder and harder to think clearly.
‘He is going to pay what he just did! I’ll teach him to pick on somepony his own size! I’ll destroy him! I’ll…Devastate………'
"DEVASTATOR!!!!"
The last thing Fluttershy saw and heard was appearing to be get higher despite not using her wings, and the sound of bones cracking.
Then everything went Red.
Devastator stopped for a second and looked back thinking he heard someone yell his name, but than looked forward thinking it as nothing. Just in time to have an ice beam hit him square in the face freezing his entire face. He had rounded up all the remaining heroes, even Humdrum (as he had accumulated knowledge he managed to result in the Mane-iac’s defeat during one of their battles and he was not going to take chances with how far he had gone) and rounded them up in a pile he had had placed in a clearing 5 steps (to him) away where he would enjoy a quick snack before moving on with his plans. The Masked Matterhorn was proving to be quite persistent when it came to resisting the inevitable, his face proved it but it didn’t stop Devastator from smacking her causing her to crash into a tree and fall to the ground, attempting the get up but falling a back on her stomach. Devastator was starting to get perturbed.
“You only make me irritated. Realize the inevitable outcome Power Ponies. Nothing Defeats Devastator! NOTHING! !” Devastator opened his jaws, ready to personally devour the Masked Matterhorn when the ground visibly shook for a moment causing him to stop and look curiously. “What in Faust?” he had deduced that the source was coming from directly behind him and saw something he had expected as a Improbability due to her personality, but not as a sure-as-sky-is-blue possibility: it was definitely Saddle Rager minus the butterfly strap around her front hooves and neck, but at the same time it was a hulking gold yellow glowing red-eyed… thing was the only word that was a noun that came to his mind at what he was looking at. Then it roared at him causing the ground to shake again, and a grin to form on Devastator’s face at something he was hoping to get: “Finally… a challenge.” His smirk was cut sort as a massive hoof connected with the left side of his face. Another hoof came and this one hit him square in his face, knocking Devastator back several feet. He managed to stop himself from slipping any farther, then spat out some metal teeth, than felt his mouth with his right hand and saw some oil in it that wasn’t there before. ”You actually managed a scratch…
PREPARE FOR EXTERMINATION!!!!” Devastator than charged at her tackling her into a building causing to be destroyed, followed by Saddle Rager throwing him off and back into the park.
Saddle Rager retorted, voice deepened. “YOU FIRST!!!”
Everyone managed to get up out of the pile and looked to see Fluttershy and Devastator battle. Gilda was just shocked at who she saw than and there at equal size to something that destroyed several buildings just by walking though it. She than looked at Terry, to confirm that her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her. “Is that…?”
“Eeyup”
“So she could always-”
“Until some accident that gave her those powers. And in my opinion, I would apologize when she calms down-SLIDING BUILDING AT 12 O’CLOCK!!!! HIT THE DECK!!!!”
Everyone turned to see that a smack Devastator tried to land caused a building to be taken off it’s foundation but still on the ground, friction appearing to be imaginary to the building as it came at ramming speed towards the group. Everyone managed to escape in their own way out of it’s course Except for Twilight as for one thing her right wing was sprained when Devastator smacked her and spent a lot of magic on blasting him with several beams so she couldn’t teleport, so her brain went with #3 as there was not enough time to jump out of the way.
Run.
Twilight ran with all of her Earth pony strength and it would’ve appeared that she would’ve been able to run out of the way… had she not tripped and sprained her right shoulder. She attempted to crawl away but than turned, ready for the end to come and saw someone jump in front of the building and recognized who it was: the Moon Knight… and she just stood in front of the building like it wasn’t even there. Twilight had to do something. “Get out of the way while you still can!!” the building was feet away from the Moon Knight, and she just put her two front hooves out as the building slammed into her and managed to start slowing the building down but the straining sound she made showed she was having trouble pushing it back. Twilight covered hers eyes afraid of what was about to happen but heard nothing, so she opened her eyes that proved the rumors about her were true: some pieces of the building caused the Moon Knight's suit to get torn up and her hat to fall off, not only revealing a horn underneath, but on the torn sides of her costume, two large wing unfurled before her. But something else caught he mind, a piece of her mane was showing, flowing in a non-existent wind, and her wings revealed he coat was a navy dark blue. One that made Twilight’s heart stop as she recognized automatically who this was:
“Luna?”
The Moon Knight did not respond she only flew as fast as her wings could go, disappearing out of Twilight’s line of sight, who was still in shock, only for a sound of a building being smashed to bring her back to her senses, and she ran out of the way as a piece of debris hit the spot she was just in.
Devastator held Saddle Rager by the arms, brought her head close to his face, and proceeded to use his Vortex Grinder bringing her head inside, only to have her head butt him, breaking some more of his teeth and breaking the hold he had, so he put away the Grinder. Over the course of the fight, not only were several buildings and trees flattened by the tumble, but also both combatants showed signs of it. Devastator lost several machines to the fight and had the replacement teeth to prove it. His dump truck feet was entirely destroyed and replaced by jet engines. The same went for parts of the excavator that made up his back. Saddle Rager certainly faired better, across her body were a few scratch marks and a bruise or two on her body, now with the addition of several metal teeth stuck in her mane. She charged attempting to land another hit but Devastator’s right hand caught the right hoof Saddle Rager attempted to hit him with. “Okay just face facts just like how it appears with me to those animals:” Saddle Rager would’ve attempted to hit but any attempt was forgotten as Devastator hit her with punch after punch, before delivering a massive uppercut to her jaw sending her up into the air, than landing several feet away from Devastator, on her stomach facing away from him allowing the others to see her. Devastator walked up behind her, grabbed her head, than pulled it back a little allowing him to speak into her ear using the voice he used for when he first spoke his name, and when he realized she actually hurt him.
“Devastator Superior, Saddle Rager Inferior-“
His gloat was cut short as Saddle Rager delivered a right elbow directly to his throat tearing the Bass Cannon out of his throat and causing it to land directly in front of Bass who was more than happy. “My Bass Cannon!”
Some debris was made and it landed on Terry’s left foot, Getting stuck in there firmly. “Guys, a little help?” Devastator was clutching his rebuilding throat and was falling in the group’s direction.
Rarity panicked but managed to create an axe and wheelchair construct for Terry to sit in. “Sorry Terry no time.”
“But I also use that one for-” Terry was cut off as the axe hit the joint of his left foot. “Aaaaaaah! My Foot!!!” Terry exclaimed as they ran off, Devastator crashing where his left foot was.
Devastator got up in time for Vinyl to blast him square in the face with the Bass Cannon. “This is what happens when you take the Bass Cannon!”
Devastator was appearing slower than when he had the Bass Cannon allowing Fluttershy to deliver a uppercut to his jaw sending him several feet away, all though he managed to land on all 4’sand stared straight at Fluttershy. Terry’s mouth just opened as a revelation came to him: “This reminds me Exactly of King Kong Versus Mecha Kong. Fluttershy King in this case and the other dude being Mecha.”
Devastator heard what Terry said and roared with what little intellect he had left after losing his source of it and with what little he gained from the Bass Cannon shot to the head:
“King Kong ain’t got nothing on Meeee!!!”
On his last word he pounded his fists on his chest much similar to a Certain Gorilla than charged towards Fluttershy with the help of his jet boosters roaring in rage. Saddle Rager also roared after he did than charged toward him as well. Unbeknownst to either one, Terry got his other foot stuck in another piece of debris right between the two titans. Dash noticed and took one of Gilda’s blasters. “This just isn’t your day, is it Terry?”
Terry was peeved at this before his other foot was shot off and he was flown away from it. “Why does it always have to be the darn-”bang! ”Foooooooooooooooooot!”
Both giants came at ramming speed and when right massive hoof Meet right massive hand, a large shockwave happened sending both titans spiraling backwards and shattering windows. Devastator faired worse as piece by piece of him dragged across the pavement tearing him apart until all that was left was a head when he stopped. Saddle Rager was better by a long shot cause when she stopped, she shrunk until she back to her old state. The teams ran to her in time for hr to come back to consciousness. “Did… did I get him?” Fluttershy asked as earlier she was full of so much she was finally calm enough to ask questions. Terry was happy to enlighten her.
“Him and several buildings.”
“I just wish I could save that pet store.”
“There fine there in the bunker under the store. And Twilight said that putting a bunker like that under every building in town was a waste of money”
Gilda walked up to get something off her chest. “Hey Fluttershy… I haven’t got the chance on account of… all this, but I wanna let you know I’m sorry about how I sort of…”
“Roared directly in her face?”
“Terry, I could’ve come up with the words myself. But either way I just thought you were kind of lame, but when you aren’t super shy, you seem cool, so I’m hoping we could put the past behind us, and you know be friends.”
Fluttershy thought about what Gilda offered and how she sounded. ”Apology accepted Gilda.”
“Thanks, by the way that was awesome how you took those hits by Devastator and the shockwave you made.”
Terry’s logic kicked in then and there. “Speaking of whom, what happened to him?”
Ricky interrupted the conversation running from where the recently defeated Devastator was. “Guys check out what’s going on with Devastator’s head!”
Everyone ran to Devastator’s head in time to see the light leave it’s menacing eyes. What surprised everyone was that something emerged from the head after and what it looked like. It was Devastator’s final look but fitted on wirewolf anatomy no extra eyes he then turned around seeing the group, than looked ashamed. “Ummm if this was cause of me, I’m very sorry about this.”
Terry whispered into Dash and Gilda’s ears. “Great Flutterguy as an actual guy.” Dash and Gilda snickered at this.
Twilight questioned at how this guy’s was almost a polar opposite to Devastator’s personality. “Well… apology accepted I guess. You have a pretty cool gift. Wanna join? I’m sure Ricky needs a 6th and a tank Mr.…”
“Green Leaf I think. I remember something from before this, a past life I think. But I’ll go with Gears. For crime fighting I could go with Devastator.”
This amazed Fluttershy, as her… special somepony’s name was Green Leaf. Emphasis on was. She reminded herself to keep and eye on him. Something caught everyone’s eye it was the exact same look of Devastator but the size of the average mare. He saw a snack machine and walked toward it. ”Mmm… candy” he tried the old trick used to get loose ones out of the bottom but his right hand got stuck, he did not have Gears’ ability to absorb machines but his hand was still fat enough to get stuck. Everyone went over to help him except for Ricky, who saw Twilight staring off into the sky reminiscing about something. “What’s eating ya?“
“Luna is the Moon Knight and I know she knows my real identity.” Her eyes began to tear up. “I just… my life was going great then that monster ruined it! Everyone besides you guys thinks I’m having tea with Starswirl the Bearded and Tau Sunflare right now! Even Ben…” She allowed the tears to fill her goggles until Ricky pulled her into a hug.
“It’s all right, I’m here for you Twi, not matter what me and the guys will help you, I Pinkie Promise. Cross my heart and hope t fly and stick a cupcake in my eye.”
Twilight emptied the tears out her goggles and walked toward the others who got D’ohvastator as Terry called him. “Thanks Ricky, I needed that.” News Ponies came by and came straight up to Ricky.
“Shadow Blot! Note Pad, Canterlot Times, 2 questions: 1. Will we have to worry about this monster anymore? 2. Have you finally come up with a name for your team?”
“Nope cause with the help of the new Silver Talon, Bow and Bass, my team, and the Power Ponies, mainly Saddle Rager, we’ve not only saved the city again, but my team has a new addition” Ricky gestured to Gears’. “Meet, Devastator, the newest member of…
The Mighty Machines!”
The Moon Knight arrived at her bedroom and proceeded to remove her stuff. Aaron was in the corner, leaning against it a smug look on his face.
"What happened? Celestia found out about your late night activities?"
Moon Knight took off her hat and cape. "You know well what it was. Help me with the rest?"
Aaron obliged and helped pulled off the rest off the suit. it was enchanted so that anyone wearing it it wold fit them to the size of an average pony so no on would know underneath was a pony of a slightly taller and larger build. "so how was it?"
"You knew she was Twilight all along. Why didn't you tell me?" the now undressed Moon Knight walked towards the balcony. "or at least Tia. You know how she's been since..."
"the dude who did it is still out there and if we catch him there's no evidence to lock him up, so even if i did, he would still try to finish what he started."
"Not unless I finish him."
"Luna..."
Luna looked at Aaron in anger. "and what do you suppose i do!? if she didn't save me, we'd all be ice cubes right now! me and my sister are even further apart than before, and i was on a satellite for 1000 years!" Luna finally calmed down and lowered the moon. "alone..."
"Don't worry Ricky hasn't stopped yet in his free time with the team, you and Celestia, and the politics." Aaron proceeded to walk out of the room but stopped at the door. "oh and when you're done, take a shower or something you smell like engine block."
He walked out of the room leaving Luna alone, to smell herself, realizing Aaron was right, Finishing her job, than going to the bathroom.
It took 6 hours,(some delays due to 2 certain giants who will go unnamed as of now) but he had finally managed to make it back to the base, greeted by the sight of the mare with a green tentacle like mane. she turned around and spoke to him.
"Steve Blum, my most trusted Hench- i mean commander other than Corey. you're late."
"Sorry Mane-iac, but had i known the trajectory Devastator's rampage was coming in my direction, no delay would've been necessary."
"All is forgiven as long as you have it."
"Had a few close calls with the Power Ponies but in perfect condition gaze upon:" Steve took out a electricity ball but this was no ordinary one this was..."The... Electro Orb."
"I'm still surprised that thing survived." the Mane-iac said chuckling a little as she recollected how Saddle Rager quickly destroyed the doomsday device.
"Regardless we are now ready to begin what we have been attempting at this past week."
"Yes it is. Corey!"
A Wirewolf came out of the shadows it's shell and skin a dark purple and when it spoke, it's yellow eyes glowed.
"What is your command Mane-iac?"
"Put this on the altar, it is time."
"As you command my liege." Corey placed the Orb on the altar than appeared to be carved out of bones and a surge of Purple energy engulfed it.
The Mane-iac chuckled at the transformation occurring. "Enjoying the gift Overlord?"
a large booming voiced echoed the room.
The overLord was a fool's name!!! I... AM...
the energy burst revealing a cloud of smoke with 2 purple eyes and a evil grin
KUL'AS...REBORN!!!!
The voice was replaced as a deep evil laughter filled the room. His laughter. This was cut short as a spotlight fell on the altar smashing it to pieces causing a phantasm like scream to escape and the smoke to dissipate. The Wirewolf above where the spotlight was looked at the now smashed altar. "we have another one of those right." The Mane-iac's face looked calmer than before but turning redder than a beet and slowly walking to the wirewolf tearing several pipes off walls with her mane.
"I will pack my things and leave quietly." he tired but the Mane-iac grabbed him and proceeded to beat him senseless with every pipe.
