Trixie smiled at the rather large bag of bits she had collected from her show, The ponies of Ponyville had certainly been more than happy to have a show of her magic. Her smile turned to a small sigh as she looked over the bits and thought more about her magic.

"...Illusions... that's all my magic is... Nothing but flashy smoke and mirrors..." She divided the total bits into fourths before levitating each pile into a separate bag. "He may not need them... but it's still something that he may like... Maybe Trixie could pick out some flowers in the morning." She put a hoof to her muzzle before shaking her head. "No... he would want something practical... Maybe Trixie could-... oh wait... she was the clothing designer of the town... Maybe instead-... no... no, she was the head of the local farm..." The light-blue unicorn mare looked back over at her cape and hat. "...Maybe Trixie should just give up showbusiness... too many hecklers..."

As Trixie continued her solo conversation though, two colts were making their way pretty deep into the Everfree Forest... which was certainly an odd occurrence if such a place was as dangerous as the residents of Ponyville made it out to be... in order to search for a challenge that would allow their idol, The Great and Powerful Trixie, to prove that pesky neigh-saying dragon wrong.

Snips huffed a bit to his dark ochre and quite lanky friend. "Stupid Spike... he just doesn't understand how powerful the GREAT and POWERFUL Trixie really is!" His lanky friend, Snails, simply nodded with an admittedly torpid look plastered on his face. Punctuating his friend's rant with the occasional 'yeah!' as he followed along to a cave that was located in the incredibly-dangerous Everfree Forest.

"Uh... Snips..." Snails began hesitantly as they stopped outside the cave. "Why are we out here anyway? Didn't your mom tell us that we shouldn't be playing in the Everfree at night... or like... ever?"

The stumpy, pudgy unicorn colt facehoofed, "Snails... we're out here to get an Ursa Major for Trixie to vanquish and prove that simple dragon wrong! How many times do I have to explain that?" He let out a sigh. "Just... come on..." He grumbled as the two of them started their way inside. With how dark it had started to get though, Snips turned back to where his friend was. "Hey Snails... can you turn on a light? We're never going to be able to find an Ursa in this dark."

"Uh... okay Snips." the ochre unicorn replied as he focused some of his magic into his horn, managing to make the sound of a well-used car starting and revving a few times before the light-purple light began to emit steadily from his horn. He took a few breaths as their surroundings were lit up, including the large, near-transparent mass of blue fur directly to their left. "Uh... Snips... I think we found the Ursa..."


Harold had been having a rather pleasant dream, nothing too special, he had simply been enjoying the feeling of flying among the stars in that beautiful black sea that enveloped the sky after the big yellow ball in the air decided it had enough fun for the day. It was amazing, and for once he was getting a very restful night's sleep... or at least, he would've if it hadn't been for whatever noise had woken him up so rudely from his nap as that white-purple light forced his eyes to wince at the wake-up call so early in his dream. Once his eyes focused he saw two little snack-things were staring at him... they didn't seem to appetizing, much to small, but it would be what they got for waking him up. Then one of them spoke.

"Uh... Snips... I think we found the Ursa... what do we do now?"

The greenish-blue one lit up its horn, those ones were always annoying to eat... something about their horn always kept him from enjoying his meal, and shouted "RUN!" at the top of his lungs as his magic picked up the other snack and they both started running out of the cave.

"Get back here!" Harold growled in the ancient astral-bear language that his mother had taught him not a scant few years ago. "You don't get to wake me up and get away with it!" He continued as he chased after the little snacks. As fast as they tried to run though, it was nothing as he made his way after them, the prickly wood-plants bent a bit as he simply shoved them aside, each plod putting him closer and closer to the little snack-creatures. He was hovering just over them, no doubt they could feel his breath as he opened his mouth wide, just before something hit his side and sent him crashing through several of the prickly wood-plants before he managed to catch himself standing up and shaking the grogginess away as he looked at his assailant.

The creature was very large, almost as large as he was, it had five serpentine necks that ended in snake-like heads, the necks were attached at the base to a round-ish body and four powerful, if a tad stumped, legs. The creature even had a long serpent-like tail. Its hide was a light brown with a spotted dark brown pattern, around several of the spots though were purple-ish marks that Harold had never seen before, and its eyes seemed to have purple smoke emanating from them.

"So... Many-head... we meet again..." He rumbled in Astral-Bear, "I see that you did not take the hint on our last encounter together... no matter, I shall settle this here and now, Mother won't even have to get involved this time." He crouched and got ready to pounce, hesitating only as the Many-head's... heads... smirked and opened their maws wide, letting a huge violet ball of fire hover in front of them before it rocketed at the Ursa, making his vision black out in a single strike as the attack struck him in the face.


The Hydra smirked as it watched the headless Ursa Minor slump to the ground, much of its body still charring from the flames. With barely a second to spare it turned its gaze towards Ponyville...

...There was a new monster truly on the loose, and it was hungry for pony meat. The enhanced PyroHydra began stomping its way towards the small town with a specific target in mind, but there was also no problem to have a few snacks along the way.


Several very loud roars managed to rouse many of the sleeping ponies from their slumber as Snips and Snails dashed through the market square, heading for the cart that had come into town bearing the Great and Powerful Trixie! Once at the door they began to repeatedly knock on it to try and get it's occupant's attention.

Trixie grumbled as she opened up the door to the cart. "What do you want? Trixie is not to be disturbed at this hour because she needs her beauty rest!" She scoffs at the two colts. "What could possibly be so important as to wake The Great and Powerful Trixie!?"

The little blue-green colt smiled before bouncing a little. "We brought an Ursa Major for you to vanquish and prove to that green dragon simpleton that you are as powerful as you say!"

As he finished all three of them turned towards the forest as a gigantic figure made it's way out of the trees, all three pairs of eyes widened though as there was no bear that exited the forest, but a much more vicious monster. All five of its heads looked right at the cart as it stomped its way over, smirking with an evil mirth as its left-most head turned towards one of the nearby buildings and let out a gout of violet-orange fire to practically burn the roof away almost instantly as several ponies panicked and began to dash out of the house.

Snips nudged the light-blue unicorn. "Uh... Great and Powerful Trixie... Now would be a great time to vanquish it. As much as she wanted to though, she was stuck. The sheer amount of magical power radiating from the creature had her paralyzed in fear, every attempt to move was only met with a shiver of fear from the limb she tried to move. She couldn't even look away as all five heads gathered together, opening their fanged maws together and creating a ball of violet flames that could easily consume her and a good several paces around her if it hit.

As the attack seemed to soar towards them in slow motion Trixie suddenly felt the feeling of being lifted off her hooves as two powerful arms wrapped around her barrel, moving her out of the range of the attack.


Toma landed near one of the buildings as the ball of flames struck the ground where Trixie's cart had been, "ooh... She's not going to be happy about that..." he thought with a wince as Gomo landed next to him with the two colts in his arms.

"What the hell is that!?" Paolina shouted as she landed nearby. "You know what, I don't care! I'm gonna get rid of it! Toma! Gomo! Evacuate ponies from the nearest homes, I'll try and send this thing somewhere it won't cause as much damage!" Both of the male Saiyans nodded as she dashed towards the Hydra that was taking up most of the market square.

The female Saiyan hovered quite a few feet away from the Hydra as she got into a better fighting stance, she didn't like the way it smirked at her when she stopped, it wasn't one of those predator's about to eat it's prey smirks... it was one that made her want to take a shower and scrub thoroughly because of how dirty it seemed. "I don't know what brought you here... but you're not going to be making a mess of any more of this town!" She called out before charging a Destructo Disk, only to be met with a gout of violet-orange flames that interrupted the attack while she covered her face. She nearly let out a scream of pain as the flames licked at her for several seconds before they stopped, smoke was trailing off of several spots of her burnt clothes and she scowled at the Hydra. "Rarity just made these!" She shouted before vanishing and landing a solid punch to its chest an instant later, the force sending it flying towards the edge of town.

Paolina straightened her posture as she took to the air. "Man... I won't hear the end of it when Rarity sees these clothes..." She sighs as she takes a look over the scorched violet pants and light-pink t-shirt. "Welp, at least I have a completely viable outlet for her aggression, which in turn makes it viable for me." The Saiyan justified as she flew casually towards the Hydra while it was getting up.

"Oh good! You're ready for round two I take it?" She chuckles as the Hydra looks up at her with a mix of shock and anger. "Oh please, don't flatter yourself... you might be stronger than a normal... whatever you are... but I can sense your power isn't close enough to be a threat to me." She puts one arm behind her back as she lifts the other so that her hand is pointing at the Hydra with her index finger. "...Still, you could become a nuisance... and I don't want to have to deal with you around here more than once..." A concentrated ball of energy hovered just in front of her finger as she frowned a little, the frown deepening as the Hydra didn't even try to move while it scowled up at her, she could easily match it at its current power, but there was something just... off... with it, something she couldn't place. "Come on... you'll figure it out later, right now it's blasting time! That brute needs to go!" As much as she agreed with the thought, she let out a small sigh of disappointment as she let the energy fade. "...If I'm going to fight you... I need to know just how strong you are..." She says quietly as her right hand takes the same example that her left had. "Follow me..." She growls as she starts to fly towards the Everfree.


"...Perfect..." the Hydra thought with an evil smirk as he used his new aura to float off the ground as he followed the Saiyan. "It's finally time to stress-test my new power..." It was annoying having so many heads though, so hopefully soon he would be able to shed this form, although he wouldn't mind enjoying a bit of time with this woman, she certainly seemed to be the feisty type. Each of his heads had their mouths curl into a lewd smirk as he watched her every muscle. "Oh yesss... she'll do perfectly..." He let out a rumbling chuckle as he followed behind, enjoying the generous view he was being given.


Paolina touched down in a decently-sized clearing and frowned as she watched the Hydra stomp into view, there was something about it that she knew was wrong... it's aura seemed to have two separate sources, but it was the second one that threw her off. It was hard to place, overlapped with the aura of the Hydra so there were fine details that were hard to distinguish. She scowled a little, "Alright... Just what the hell are you...?"

The hydra merely smirked as it readied another gout of flame.

"Fine... I'll just beat the answers out of you." Paolina growled, quickly ascending and unleashed a barrage of small energy blasts that the Hydra simply tanked as it readied several bursts of flame. Dashing forward at near-invisible speed she had to swerve around one of the gouts of fire before making contact with a solid punch to the Hydra's middle head, forcing the entire creature to recoil as she used her smaller size to her advantage, speeding around it to grab its tail and start lifting it off the ground, straining her muscles as she started to spin it vertically with Goku's Dragon Throw attack. She grunted as the creature's weight, combined with the speed of the spin, was making it difficult to hang on, so she simply waited until it was in a position that her throw would send the creature straight up.

As the Hydra was sent skyward Paolina righted herself and raised both of her arms towards the Hydra, within seconds she was enveloped in a round, golden aura. "Heat Dome Attack!" She shouted as fiery Ki surged upwards to impact the Hydra at full force, the large creature not even trying to avoid the blast as it recovered. The surrounding area had been lit up bright as day during the attack, fading back to being cloaked in darkness as the attack ended.

Paolina was panting just a little from the force of the attack, "Wow... put... a little too much... oomph... behind-... it?" her attention focused quickly down just before a serpentine humanoid collided with her, sending her rocketing into the air for several seconds before recovering with a small burst of Ki. "What the hell?" She asked rhetorically as she saw the humanoid straighten.

Hovering slowly up to her level was a new being entirely, it was like a cross between an Arcosian and a serpent, with a heavy influence on the Arcosian side, His scales were the same mottled brown that the hydra had, although his eyes would have seemed almost normal if it hadn't been for the red pupils. "Hello Paolina..." He spoke with the tone that she had known guys to use when they wanted to seem suave and other sorts of cool. "...I'm glad we finally get to meet, you've been so lonely on this world without me attacking you that I almost thought you would've gone native." He chuckled, which sent a new feeling shooting through her system as she watched every inch of him for signs of being about to attack.

"What the hell are you?" Paolina growled as she tried to clear her head of the new emotion, gritting her teeth as she heard that sexy chuckle again.

"Who and what I am are bits of information that I've long outgrown, I don't even remember if I've existed since before time began, what I do know is that while I've gone by many names, my personal favorite so far has been Madu." He smirked as he took a stance similar to Beerus, the main difference being that he was at an angle and that his right arm was up in a combat-ready stance. "...although... I wonder just how lovely it would be to hear you screaming my name into the night..." He hissed with a smile. "I can imagine it now, all of those wonderful... toned... absolutely beautiful muscles... all mine to enjoy from dusk until dawn."

Paolina's face twisted into a grimace as she fought back a gag. "Not a chance, an evil slimeball like you wouldn't even get close to touching me!" She growled, trying to save face in what was practically a lie as she tried to get a read on his power.

"Don't worry Love... I still have to hear you say my name before I can correct you on how to scream it right..." He chuckled just before vanishing, slamming his elbow hard into her stomach and sending her across the sky. "I know you're not even using your full power! You had better! Or else I might just kill you!" He goads as he rockets alongside her, bringing his left fist into her cheek to change her course as he starts to pinball her in the air.

Paolina let out a howl of rage as she let a huge amount of Ki explode around her to stop her from being tossed through the air like a ragdoll. "That's it! You're dead Madu!" She screams as a golden aura bursts around her with flames wrapping around her body and lightning arcing from several spots on her body.

Madu let out a pleased shiver. "Oooh! That was so close, I might not have to teach you after all. Let's hear you say it Sensually!" He seemed to giggle with mad glee as he rushed her again, the two of them becoming a blur of gold and violet across the night sky as they clashed.

Every time they parted Madu would practically howl with pleasure. "Oh YES! If it feels this good fighting you, I can't wait to feel the pleasure of having you in bed with me!" He cackled as they finished yet another exchange of fists and kicks.

Paolina scowled again. "Keep dreaming you disgusting prick!" She spread her arms apart as two spheres of golden electricity formed in front of her hands. "FINAL! FLASH!" She shouted as she brought her hands together.

Madu smirked, pulling his hands back to let a violet ball of fire appear before launching it forward, "BURNING RAY!" He shouted with glee before both attacks met in midair. "Oh you are so good! I've not felt this alive in centuries!" The violet flames were quickly starting to gain an edge against the Saiyan 2 that was clashing against him. "You may not be as strong as me, but damn!"

Paolina grit her teeth as she started to pour more energy into the attack, slowing the flames' approach as she felt her body starting to give out, even with the power boost of Saiyan 2 she was still shaking as the energy was leaving her.

Madu unleashed a torrent of extra energy into his side of the blast, forcing it to quickly overcome the ultimate blast and engulf the Saiyan, forcing her to scream out in pain as the flames licked at her body. He watched as the flames faded, the Saiyan's hair had resumed its normal brown color as most of her outfit had been burned away, he could even see her entire body shaking from how much energy she had used just before she seemed to pass out and began falling to the ground.

With an incredible speed Madu quickly caught her and eased them both to the ground. She twitched a little and let out a small groan as she started to come back to consciousness, her eyes widening as she realized who was holding her just before he shifted his grip so that the front of her shirt was what he was lifting her up by as she just barely managed to get her footing.

His left hand began to gently stroke her side. "You know..." He rumbled into her ear as he pulled her close. "I could take you right now... and you wouldn't be able to do a thing about it... I'm stronger than you, faster than you and far more experienced than you..." He explains as his hand slowly travels down her side to caress her hip. "But I won't... because I don't want to take those beautiful hips of yours... I want you to give them to me... That's why I want you to get stronger... because you need to please a god." He continues with his deep, rumbling chuckle. His hand squeezes her hip firmly. "I don't care how many others you give them to... but those hips belong to me... until you're ready to give them though, I'm just going to have to keep attacking." He backs her up just a little, leaving barely an inch between his mouth and hers as he finishes with a whisper. "...Until you are ready, I'll just have to deal with you being so abrasive..." He coos just before placing a kiss on her lips, fully intending it to be just a chaste smooch. Her surprised squeak and subsequent moan forced him to hold the kiss for several seconds as his left hand pulled her hips close to his, having her give out another squeak as she felt just how aroused he was even through their clothes.

She was panting hard as he broke the kiss, smiling at her just before she let out a whisper. "M-... Madu..." She watched as he let out another shiver and his seductive chuckle.

"Oh..." He starts with a shuddered breath. "I'm going to have to start wearing rubbers at all times... you know just how to say it sensually... I'll see your sexy body later, when we can get much more... intimate..." He let the collar of her shirt go and seemed to vanish with a *vwoop* as she dropped to her knees with an absolutely stunned look.

Her right hand slowly moved up to her mouth as her fingers gingerly traced her lips. "...Madu..." She whispered.


Toma landed just inside the devastated clearing to see his friend on her knees and touching her mouth. "P-Paolina!" He stuttered as he quickly ran over to her. "Paolina! Are you alright? Where's the Hydra?"

"Gone..." She replied as she leaned into his embrace.

Toma looked at the area, as if appraising it of any threats, before lifting the stunned Saiyan in his arms and making his way back to Ponyville. "...I hope Twilight can help..."
