The next morning was surely a lively one. Razor Wind and Penny had gotten up after a long night and went downstairs to eat some breakfast before they headed out into an area to hunt some monsters. However, the young Unicorn was about to lay some serious news on her best friend's mind.

"Hey, Rez?" she began as she and the green mare took their food trays with their meal on them over to a table and sat down "Look, there's something I gotta tell you. It might have something to do with your headaches."

"Hmm?" the Pegasus questioned as she ate her food, not particularly invested in listening to her friend.

"Well, you see, there might be-"

"A legend?" spoke a male voice neither of them had heard before. They turned to face the voice only to see an ash grey Unicorn stallion with a short black mane with some red highlights on the ends of his hairs, as well as a bitchin' goatee. He wore a whole set of Stygian Zinogre armour, albeit with his helmet off and in his magical grasp. On his back was a Brachydios longsword.

"Um, yeah" Penny nodded "How did you know?"

"I've heard about and seen my fair share of legends in my life" he gave a cocky grin "I've even tussled with one or two. Remember the Dire Miralis? I fought that."

"Actually," the Unicorn began, her tone being very matter-o-factually "the Dire Miralis is an extinct species of monster. If it was still alive today, the world would be covered in an endless smog, where the fires would burn for years and the-"

"Okay, okay, I get your point" the stallion rolled his eyes before reaching into his saddlebag and pulling out an odd gem "What do you have to say to this?"

"No way!" Penny's nerd mode, according to Razor Wind, had officially activated "T-This can't be! A Dire Dragongem! No, this has to be fake. You can clearly see it was made with-" she tapped it with her hoove and gasped in shock "...impossible. How did you get your hands on a Dire Dragongem? If they're not forged with, they turn to dust after about twenty years. Unless..."

"So you actually fought an Elder Dragon?" Rez looked up in admiration for the male hunter "That's so cool! What was it like? Was it tough? Did it do any super-powerful moves?!"

"Whoa, whoa, easy there" he chuckled a bit "All you gotta know is that it was fun to fight it. But I'm getting off topic, sorry. I heard the word 'legend' and couldn't help but feel intrigued. What're you guys going for, hmm?"

"Actually, we're more or less trying to solve a certain problem of ours" the Unicorn mare replied "My friend here has been having some headaches recently, and I think it might tie in with a certain legend."

"Wait, they do?" Rez asked before trying to act cool about it "I mean... Yeah, they do. They're not much of a problem though. I can totes bear through them."

"Really now?" Penny stared at her best friend "Well, whatever makes you happy, I suppose."

"Heh... You two remind me of my daughter" the stallion spoke up with a smile "I think you'd get along with her fairly well. She's not here right now though; she's training back in my hometown."

"Where would that be?" Rez asked.

"The border of the Badlands" he nodded before looking at the clock in the eating area "Good god, would you look at the time? I gotta catch the train back to Dracoville!" he turned back to the two mares and bowed a bit "Pleasure, ladies!" finally, he bolted out to catch his ride home.

"What an odd stallion..." Penny pointed out "And we never even got his name!"

"Don't worry your butt off, Penny" Razor spoke with her mouth full of food "At least he didn't get ours like some sorta creeper" she swallowed her food "But now I'm curious as to what his daughter's like. Is she nice? Is she cold and bitter?"

"Something tells me we'll see her sooner or later" the ash grey Unicorn shrugged "Anyway, as I was saying-"

"BAGGI ATTACK!!" somepony shouted from outside "GET ALL THE HUNTERS!!"

"Sorry Penny, this'll have to wait" Rez smiled before bolting out of the cafeteria to get her armour and fight the invading monsters.

"Razor Wind, wait!" Pendragon tried to reach out to her friend to stop her, but she was already gone "They're just Baggies, I'm sure you can skip one single day to hear about, y'know, your life."

XXXXXX

The green Pegasus rushed outside with her Barioth equipment to find that an entire horde of Baggies, raptor-like blue and black versions of the purple and red Jaggies, had overrun the town. They began eating all the food in the shopping district, as well as rummage through vacant houses, messing up everypony's stuff. Razor grinned and was just about to strike one down when all of a sudden, a giant Baggi with a dark grey crest on its head popped out of nowhere and attempted to eat the mare.

"Whoa, let's settle down there for a sec, why don't cha?!" she yelled at the creature, now identified as a Great Baggi "Well, you're certainly large. But I've fought you guys before. What makes you so spec-"

The Great Baggi simply roared upwards as to summon more of its spawn. However, instead of normal Baggies coming to attack, five other Great Baggies came instead. They all roared at the huntress, preparing to attack.

"Well... That's new..." Razor simply stared in confusion for a sec before preparing to attack again "But still, you guys are no match for me! I'm the best hunter there is!"

"Really now?" spoke a female voice close to where Rez stood "Because here I was thinking I was the best hunter there is! Well, at least that's what my wife tells me."

The green Pegasus turned to see that a teal mare with Lavasioth armour and duel blades in her wings' grasp had rushed up to her, taking out several smaller Baggies along her way. Her long moss green mane stood out the back of her helmet and flowed in the wind. She gave a cocky grin that would give Razor's a run for its money.

"Y-You're..." was all Rez could say as she simply stared in awe of this certain celebrity of monster hunting.

"Teal Speck, the one and only" the mare winked "I'm guessing you're a fan of me from my Gogmazios hunt?"

"Not just that, but your Congalala Onslaught, the Luna-Teo-Tangle, the Great Hunt of the Lagiacrus, and your most recent one, The Rath of the Rathalos!" the green mare geeked out massively.

"Hahaha, looks like we got ourselves a true fan here! Well, now you get to show me what you're made of, kid" Teal laughed "If you're really my biggest fan, you'll take these monsters out lickity-split!"

"Watch me!" Razor grinned before running toward the Great Baggi troop and jumping up onto one of them. She then proceeded to stab its body without remorse until it fell over on its side. She then stuck her sword into its tail firmly and began swinging it around, knocking all the other monsters down before letting it go and sending it flying into the air upwards. Finally, she stuck her sword up into the air and let the blue raptor impale itself from the fall.

"Well, colour me impressed..." the teal veteran hunter smiled "Okay, you're my biggest fan then. Let's clean up here and I'll give you an autograph or something."

"Sure thing!" the green mare smiled before both of them charged forward and attacked the Great Baggies. With a leap, Teal jumped onto Rez's shield and bounced onto one of the creatures' heads and blew off its crest with a spinning attack from her dual swords, slashing and cracking its skull open and making its blood and brain fly out gruesomely. After this, Rez struck another Great Baggi with her shield, knocking it back a bit. Quickly, she struck its leg with her sword, cutting it clean off. She then leaped into the air and impaled the monster's side.

"Alright, three down, two to go!" Teal grinned.

"Rez!" Penny's holographic projection popped out from her friend's communicator "I'm picking up readings of something powerful heading your way!"

"Whoa, a pocket pet!" Teal stared at the hologram in awe "Nah, just messin'. All you cool kids have these holographic communicators now. Why, back in my day we'd ping each other when-"

"O-Oh my!" the ash grey mare said surprisingly before fading away.

"What's up with her?"

"Sorry about her" Razor apologized "She's usually pretty okay with other ponies, but sometimes, especially when somepony who happens to be famous, she sorta goes into shy-mode."

"Understandable" the teal mare nodded.

"Okay, let's finish this job!" the white maned mare grinned before charging right at the last two Great Baggi. She shield-struck one of them before impaling the other in the chest with her sword. Hopping on the body of the second one, she bounced onto the first and with a clean swipe, sliced off its head, blood pouring everywhere along the ground.

(Music Stop)

"Well, I gotta say, that was some show you put on" Teal smiled "I bet my wife would be VERY happy to meet you."

"Your wife?" Rez questioned before she finally realized "Oh, you mean Twilight Sparkle, the one that struck down the Shagaru Magala and basically saved the world, right?"

"Yeah, her" the teal Pegasus deadpanned.

"Oh... Sorry..." the green mare nervously laughed "But you still took down the Gogmazios, the monster that would have utterly obliterated the world even if the Shagaru had been taken down, right?"

"Hey, yeah, you're right!" Teal smiled "Well, now I know that-"

Suddenly, a loud and echoing roar was heard very close to the two. The smaller Baggies that stayed around even after their leaders had been killed off ran away, whimpering all the while. Smashing could be heard from the stands just a little bit away from the mares. As the noise got closer and closer, they prepared themselves for what awaited them. However, the sound soon stopped.

"Oh..." Teal said, disappointed "Well that was rather anticli-"

A giant grey fist burst and slid through the stands and into the street Teal Speck and Razor Wind were on. Connected to this grey fist was an ape-like beast with fur as black as darkness, giant horns and glowing red eyes. It turned and stared at the two hunters before clenching its hands into fists, going on all fours and roaring that majestic yet terrifying roar.

"How the heck did a Rajang get all the way from Galloping Gorge's forest over here?!" Rez shouted in shock.

"I dunno, but what I DO know is that we have to kill it before it hurts innocent ponies" Teal nodded before looking back at her partner with a cocky smile "I know this monster is technically G-rank, but what do you say we ignore the rules for a sec and save this town, eh?"

"Were you always this crazy when you were younger?"

"You know it, babe!" the teal mare laughed before rushing straight into battle. She hopped off the debris of a broken stand and onto the Rajang, pulling out her carving knife and stabbing the ever-living hell out of it. However, the ape shook violently to get the mare off its fur, whipping around and shaking everywhere. Unfortunately, Teal gave into the attempts of it knocking her off and fell onto the ground. Right before the dark beast smashed its fists on where the Pegasus was, the other Pegasus hunter swooped out from nowhere and used her shield to block the oncoming attack from hurting her idol.

"Thanks kid!" Teal smiled before running out and facing the beast again. Once Rez saw her partner was out of harms way, she pulled her shield back and just barely escaped the Rajang's attack. She soon joined Teal in her attack position. The ape merely roared again before a surge of electricity went through its fur and turned it yellow, emitting small shocks every once-in-a-while.

"Razor, that Rajang's enraged now!" Penny popped up in her hologram form again and notified her friend.

"REALLY?!" Razor sarcastically shouted "Bravo! Never would have guessed!!"

"Pipe down and listen in!" the ash grey Unicorn sternly spoke "The Rajang is still a mammal, which means its skin is soft. Even in an enraged state, its defenses haven't lowered. But its speed and attack have increased significantly. Find a way to break its attack pattern and strike it!"

"I'll find a way, thanks" Rez nodded before closing Penny's hologram and facing the Rajang again "Alright, you crap-spewing ape! Time to show you who the REAL powerhouse of this town is!"

The beast did nothing but fly into the air and roll around a bit before flying face-first into the two mares' positions. They quickly moved out of the way to avoid the attack, but Razor had gotten a small surge of electricity on her back legs.

"I've got thunderblight!" she shouted at Teal.

"Eat this!" she shouted back as she threw a small blue berry at the green Pegasus. Catching it with her wing, she took no chances and ate it, feeling immediately better!

"What was that?" Rez asked as the teal mare came right next to her

"That was a Nulberry" the veteran answered "It cures all blights except poison and fireblight. It's good to have, especially if you're going up against a something like a Zinogre, or in this case, a Rajang. Here, take a few more just in case..." she dumped a whole bunch of the berries on her teammate before heading back into battle.

After shaking off all the berries on her head, Razor began to combat the Rajang as well. She slid under the beast's body and scared its belly, making it flinch in a bit of pain. However, it was quick to grab the green mare and slam her into the ground.

"Kid!" Teal shouted in concern before looking right at the ape "Alright, now you pushed the line. Take... THIS!!" she ran forward, jumped up and slashed at its face, slicing off one of its horns and knocking it out of its enraged state. She took this time of it being dazed to help Razor up.

"Thanks" the white maned mare thanked.

"Don't mention it, kid" the older mare chuckled before giving her partner a playful noogie, causing the latter to giggle a bit. They then cut the crap and stared right back at the Rajang.

"Ready, Teal?" Rez asked.

"Ready, kid" Teal confirmed with a nod. Rez nodded as well right before charging at the Rajang and slashing down onto it. However, the ape grabbed her sword and halted it immediately.

"Hey, let go of my sword!" the green mare pulled and tugged the sword to try and get it out of the monster's hold, but to no avail. The Rajang simply lifted Rez up, still attached to her sword, and readied a punch from here to next Tuesday. That was the moment when the Pegasus snapped.

"I said..." she angrily spoke "...let go of my SWOOOORRRRRDDDD!!!!" a purple glow enveloped Rez before it transferred into her sword, it too beginning to glow purple. She yanked her blade out of the monster's hand, slicing off its fingers like they were butter and leaving a purple trail where the sword swung. She then joined with Teal who was still a bit amazed at the Pegasus's power, but shook it off to finish the job. They nodded at each other before running forward and putting their swords together, creating a full-on impalement knife of doom, as Teal would put it. They finally struck the dazed Rajang in the head.

(Music Stop)

Time stood still for the two mares. All they could hear was their own slow breathing. The Rajang itself was motionless, but it did not breath. In fact, not a few moments later once the two huntresses removed their weapons, it fell over on its side, blood from its head spilling out across the ground. The two mares huffed from exhaustion before putting away their weapons and collapsing on the dry part of the ground. The purple glow from Rez's sword faded away shortly after.

"You did... pretty good... kid..." Teal commented as she tried to get her breath back "Looks like this old mare... ain't so young anymore..."

"Nah..." Rez laughed a bit "You're still pretty good... and you're only, what? 38? That's not old..."

"Certainly feels like it..." the teal mare finally caught her breath as the two got up from their lying positions and into sitting ones "So, how'd you do that awesome purple glow stuff? Oh, oh, lemme guess! You trained under your father who's actually an ancient samurai who fought monsters back in his day, right?"

"Actually... no" the white maned mare giggled a bit "My dad is actually a huge dork, and he still hunts monsters to this day. As for my power..." she became slightly more serious "I... I dunno. This is totally new to me."

"You mean you've NEVER had this happen before?" Teal wondered "Whoa, dude! This is sick!"

"Rez! Rez, are you okay?!" Penny popped out in her holographic state "My scanner says the Rajang was killed, but there was a huge spike of energy really close to you. Did something happen?"

"Yeah, something happened" Razor nodded "You aren't gonna believe this, but a purple glow came out from nowhere and totally made my sword stronger!"

"I believe it" the ash grey mare spoke.

"Ugh, I knew you were going to- wait, what?" that quote caught the hunter by surprise "You actually believe me? Not even a question or a concern or anything?! Wait... Who are you and what did you do with Penny?"

"I'm still me, Rez" Penny sighed "But this might actually connect with something I've been trying to tell you for a while now. You might be the chosen one in a legend of a great calamity approaching."

"Well... That's pretty big stuff to lay down on me and then act all cool about it" the Pegasus said "But I don't think I'm any chosen one here, Penny. A superhero, maybe, but not some sort of ancient ancestor to-"

"Rez, chosen one or not, there has been a lot of things going on that the legend is telling" the Unicorn continued "For instance, this book describes your headaches, and the power that came with it. That can't be a coincidence!"

"That could be anyone!" Razor Wind laughed "There are tons of ponies with headaches and superpowers!"

"Well, looks like you left me with no other choice to convince you, Rez" Penny sighed "I'm sorry about this, but... This legend also describes the monster that took your mother's life fifteen years ago."

Razor stood silent for a moment after hearing about that beast. The Black Rathian haunted her from that day as a 3-year-old filly, and the nightmares haven't stopped since. She let out a huge sigh before speaking again.

"I'll see you in a bit" she said before closing the hologram and rubbing her head with her front hooves.

"Not a great childhood, I guess?" Teal asked.

"No, no, good childhood with my dad, just... not with my mom" the Pegasus sighed again "I didn't really know her much, but damn, I would have loved to live with her. My dad tells me she was a bit like me; adventurous, loud, annoying... but beautiful."

"I'm sorry for your loss..." the teal mare patted her partner's back "Tell you what; why don't you and I head back to my place and have something to eat, hmm? I'm sure you gotta be hungry for days."

"Y-Yeah, I'd like that" Rez smiled before they got up and began walking back towards their house.

"So... Rez, was it?" Teal wondered.

"Actually, it's Razor Wind, but everypony just calls me Rez" the white maned mare confirmed.

"Well then, Rez; something tells me you and I are gonna get along just fine..."
