-Manehattan, the Mayor's Office-

"Oh my God." the mayor whispered, staring with horror at the television screen. It depicted a cargo ship on the Western Coast of Manehattan, three long, jagged gashes on it's side. "What in the name of Celestia happened?" he asked himself as a news reporter described the wreckage.

-Manehattan, Frost Bloom's Apartment-

"Now you just lay there, quietly for a few minutes, while I get you some tea." Frost Bloom told Scarlet as she set a damp washcloth on the mare's forehead.

"Okay." Scarlet Blitz murmured.

Frost Bloom made her way to her apartment kitchen and placed a tea kettle on the stove. "Poor, girl." she whispered to herself as the kettle began to whistle like a train horn. With a quiet sigh she pulled the pot off of the stove and carefully poured it into a tea cup.

"Here you go." Frost Bloom said as she came entered the living room with a steaming cup of tea. She then set it down on the table and said, "Drink this. It should help a little bit."

"Thank you." Scarlet whispered, propping herself up to take the tea.

-Manehattan, Ratchet Brothers Auto Shop-

With a metallic clang, Onyx slammed the sledge hammer against the steel screw, forcing it into the wall a little bit at a time. "There we go." he said with a satisfactory smile on his face.

"What are you doing now?" Ratchet called.

"Not enough wall hooks." Onyx answered, not looking up from the nail.

"Okaaay." Ratchet said slowly.

Suddenly, the ground shook beneath Onyx's feet, causing the lights to flicker for a moment. "What the in the world? Ratchet! Power's goin a little screwy again!" he called.

"I don't think that's the power." Ratchet said with wide eyes as he exited his office. Then, going to the shop's front door he watched and waited... Again, the ground shook. All down the street, lights flickered.

Ratchet watched as a forest green helicopter flew overhead, it's rotors rapidly spinning.

"What's going on?" Onyx asked with a worried expression crossing his dirty face.

"To be completely honest, brother, I haven't the slightest clue." he said, still watching the helicopter. The ground shook again, startling the two brothers. The ground just continued to shake, the lights flickering with each tremor.

Ratchet watched with horror as a massive shape lunged from the corner of a building, slamming massive jaws on the helicopter. With a tremendous explosion, the helicopter went out of control and slammed into the street, throwing shards of metal through glass windows.

Ratchet ran back into the shop. "Go hide, NOW!" he yelled at Onyx.

"Ratchet, what are you talking about? What's going on?!" Onyx asked in a panic.

"It doesn't matter! Just HIDE! And shut up!" the stallion boomed.

-Manehattan, Frost Bloom's Apartment-

Scarlet Blitz slowly roused from her sleep, woken by a long shriek. "What the heck?" she mumbled. "Where am I?" she asked herself. Scarlet then remembered that Frost Bloom had taken her to her home.

Frost Bloom entered the room with wide eyes. Her pupils were just little dots as she pointed at the window with a shaky hoof. Scarlet slowly turned her head and stared. A gigantic, flaming orange eye was staring right back at her. All that Scarlet could see of the beast was it's eye. It's eye was the size of the bloody building!

"W-what i-is it?" Frost Bloom asked in a tiny, horrified voice. Scarlet was too scared to answer. The creature stared at her with the unblinking gaze of a snake... A giant snake.

The mare moved as slowly as she could toward the exit, her eyes not moving off of the reptilian beast as it followed her every movement.

-Manehattan Military Head Quarters-

"What in the name of Celestia IS that thing?!?" Commander Hurricane yelled, watching as a tremendous creature destroyed a military helicopter like it was made of tinfoil.

"We're not sure, Commander Hurricane, but we are getting reports that it had destroyed one of the Manehattan Cargo's ships." a stallion in silver armor beside the winged military leader said.

"How many lives were lost?" Hurricane asked, still watching the scene.

"Countless numbers, Sir. Only one survived the disaster; a mare who goes by the name Scarlet." he answered.

"I don't care about the name. All I want to know is what the flipping son of a b**** is!" Commander Hurricane yelled. "I want that thing dead, before more lives are lost! Oh, and I'm going out. You're in charge while I am gone!" he continued.

"Yes, Sir!" the stallion said, clicking his hooves together and saluting the superior officer and exiting the room.

-Manehattan, Ratchet Brothers Auto Shop-

Onyx repositioned himself underneath the desk, his leg loudly popping before getting comfortable. "Ratchet?!" he whispered. "You there?"

"Shut up!" a voice replied.

Onyx rolled his eyes. Sometimes Ratchet could be just a little hot-headed. The mechanic didn't particularly enjoy his brother's trait. It usually resulted in Onyx getting pissed off.

With a loud sigh, Onyx peeked out of his hiding spot at the window. He couldn't see anything out of the ordinary. Out of the ordinary, that is, until a group of tanks slowly drove by. Onyx counted at least four military vehicles, heading East. -What the heck?- he thought as the large machines moved by.

-Manehattan, Frost Bloom's Apartment-

Scarlet Blitz could feel her entire body trembling with fear as she moved. The mare was scared out of her mind of the beast that killed Ash Pelt, her boyfriend.

Suddenly, the beast before her shrieked in a voice louder than thunder. On impulse, the mare put her hooves over her ears. Frost Bloom went into an almost mirror image.

With a curious sniff, the dinosaurian beast pushed on the glass, shattering it.

The beast then tried to stick it's head into the building. When it failed, it began to use it's tongue, feeling the furniture with the slimy muscle. MAN, did it smell terrible.

The tongue slowly began to approach Scarlet. The horrendous smell of fish was all that she could smell as the tongue continued to approach. Then, it wrapped around Scarlet's leg.

"AAAAGGGHH!" Scarlet screamed as the muscle pulled her toward the gaping jaws.

"SCARLET!" Frost shrieked in fear. She then, desperately looked around her for a weapon to defend her friend. -The Glass!- she thought, lunging toward it as Scarlet tried her best to wrench herself free of the slimy mass.

Frost Bloom snatched a shard of glass from the floor and swiftly jabbed the beast's tongue, over and over again, not stopping until Scarlet was free and the monster was shrieking in pain and agony. "You okay?!" Frost asked as she dropped the bloody glass on the floor.

"Yeah." Scarlet said with a faint voice. "I'm good. But we should go."

"Agreed!"
