CANTERLOT P.O.V

After the beast had gone. The entire city was placed under lock down to ensure that it wouldn't get back into the city. In the thrown room, the princesses are speaking to the elements of harmony about this new threat and plan their next course of action.

"What are we going to due?" Twilight asked in a frenzied manner.

"First it was Queen Chrysalis, and now we have a 10 meter long, giant pitch black dog of some sort, now roaming free across the mountain side!"

"Calm down twi' don't ya get yer tail in a knot just yet,I'm sure the princesses have a plan." Applejack says to calm her down.

"yeah,that overgrown fuzzball doesn't look so tough." Rainbow dash says boastfully

"It's not everyday you meet an animal that can talk equestrian, but that brute of a hound could use a bath." Rarity stated

"well to me it looked like it was part dragon, after all, the reports from the guards said that their spears broke on impact. And the only thing hard enough to break them were those dogs scales." Spike added factually.

"My little ponies." Celestia called out to them.

"I have come to a conclusion on the next step to this threat." She stated with pride.

"I wish for all of you and spike to try and track down this creature and bring it back to Canterlot so we may speak to it."

"How do you suppose we do that?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Celestia then turns to look at Fluttershy.

"Fluttershy." Celestia responded.

"She is able to gain the trust of most animals she encounters. I believe that this creature is no different." She adds

"As we speak, I have my pegasi guards sweeping the mountain in search of it. If the creature is on the mountain, we will find it."

just then Captain Shining Armour come in to report on the search.

"Report captain, what is the result of the search?" Celestia ask.

"The search is inconclusive almost all of the pegasi we sent out have returned and reported no unusual activity."

"Almost all?" Celestia ask.

"we have 4 guards that are late to report in and are still awaiting their arrival." The captain stated.

just then a guard comes rushing into the room

"your highness." the guard states ant bows

"what is it?" Celestia ask.

"One of the missing guards has just returned and is in route to the hospital." the solider says and everyone makes a b line for the hospital.

Canterlot Royal Hospital

The site before all is one no one should have to see.

In the bed lies the guard that was late with 3 others to report in. His left wing was hanging on by only a few muscles, his sides covered in claw marks while his back legs have bite marks that show where the bones have been broken.

"Solider, can you hear me?" Celestia ask.

The solider weakly nods.

"Can you tell us what happened to the other missing guards?" Celestia adds.

"The black demon!"

Zigore P.O.V

"I should have taken one of those guards before I left." The Zigore thought as its stomach growled at him."I could of at least taken one of those tall ones.They would be a good meal to hold me over until I can find bigger prey to fill me up."

As this is going through his mind, he hears the distinct sound of wings flapping and metal scraping against metal. He knew then and there that he was being hunted. And he wasn't going to pass up some free meals when the terrain was in his favor. As the guard got closer, the zigore leaves a false trail behind for the guard to see and investigate. While he flies down the rocky terrain will blend with my fur. By the time he realizes I'm here, the trap will of been already sprung. As I prepare to strike, 3 others come in to see what my prey has found. This is too perfect. 4 guards that don't know I'm here. Refocusing back to the prey in front of me, I strike not a few seconds later and get all but one of the guards who manages to run away before I can finnish the strike. Why am I caring if one guard got away, I got 3 dead ones to fill my stomach.

At this, I grab them by their tails and begin the long trek back to my lair with dinner.

This is going to be a good routine if they are stupid enough to keep sending their guards out to get me. This is the start of a good one-sided relationship.
