When morning came the next day, Ash woke up from his slumber. He took a few minutes to stretch his body which emitted loud cracks coming from his joints. After that he felt hungry, he went to the kitchen and made lots of food to recharge his energy because he needed to go and save the slaves that he had heard last night with his "Superhuman Hearing".

After eating his fill, he created a paper and wrote

Dear friends,

I will be away from Ponyville for a few hours. If you are wondering where I am then I am going to raid a slave camp and rescue them. If any trouble starts in Ponyville or you find yourselves in a pickle, then just start saying things about it and I will hear them. Stay safe all of you.

Your friend and lover

Ash.

After writing that, he sticked the paper on his house door and then used "Soru" to dash like a blur to the slave camp.

Ponyville

The girls got together to spend sometime with their new friend or as they would call it coltfriend which made them blush. Rarity was also accompanying them with an excuse for asking some fashion related question from Ash but in her mind, she was thinking of whether or not she wants to be with him. He was really everything she would have dreamed of. He was strong yet kind and gentle. He treated the girls with respect and never got angry at them even when Rainbow Dash shouted at him.

When they all arrived at his house, they saw a paper was stuck on his door which say:

Dear friends,

I will be away from Ponyville for a few hours. If you are wondering where I am then I am going to raid a slave camp and rescue them. If any trouble starts in Ponyville or you find yourselves in a pickle, then just start saying things about it and I will hear them. Stay safe all of you.

Your friend and lover

Ash.

After they all read it, they were both happy and sad. They were happy that he was rescuing those who need it but sad that there were individuals who were living as slaves which they did not know about.

Just then Spike came running towards them with a letter in his hand and said, "Twilight! This here is a letter from the princess!"

Twilight quickly took the letter from his hand and read it.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

Please gather the other bearers of the Elements of Harmony and come to Canterlot castle. There is a situation that requires your presence. Please come at once.

Yours sincerely

Princess Celestia.

With this, the girls took the train straight to Canterlot castle while becoming worried about any bad news. Well there is one that will shock them all. Spike went back to the library.

Back To Ash

He finally reached his location in 20 minutes and used his "Superhuman Vision" to see the slave camp from afar. He saw some ugly bipedal dogs moving around while wearing crude armor and spears.

He also saw that the slaves there were ponies, a few zebras and 2 deer. As he was looking around the camp, he heard a scream and turned his direction to where the sound came from and what he saw made him angry. There, on the floor were two individuals , an azure colored unicorn and a female griffin. Their backs had some line like wounds and on top of them was a dog with a whip in his hand. He understood what happened which made his anger to escalate.

As the dog was about to whip them again, Ash used his "Soru" to get behind the dog in an instant and stabbed *Riiipp* his right hand into its back and out the front with its heart in his hand. The dog didn't even managed to scream as it was too shocked to see its own heart in front of it. Every activity that was going around, came to a stop and what they saw shocked them all.

They all saw a tall being suddenly appearing behind the dog who was whipping two slaves. The being surprised them by stabbing his hand into the dog's back and out from its chest with its heart.

Ash then crushed the heart and threw away the dog's corpse, He then looked at the dogs who were preparing to attack him. Before he could begin killing these mutts, a much larger dog came in front of him. This dog must be their leader as it was wearing better armor, jewelry and a big two-hand broad sword.

The dog growled at Ash and said, "Who are you suppose to be you freak!?" Really? A freak? That's all it could come up with.

Ash angrily said, "You will be wise to release every slave you own."

The dog then laughed loudly along with other mutts. Then it said, "Why should I? These slaves are my property, Bark Bite and I will do whatever I want with them!" It then looked at Ash's body and grinned, "Why don't you join them? You will make a great addition to my slaves."

Anger started to build inside of him and manifested his Gourmet demon but was different one.
He manifested the "Poison Devil".

With the demon's appearance, everyone was trembling with fear, especially the dogs. He then spoke with a venom filled voice, "Don't underestimate me. You lower life forms". He also used "Hair Sensor" and "Echolocation" to make a map inside his head with all of the individuals marked in it.

Here is what he will fight.

Diamond dog 547
Diamond dog's leader 1

Here are the slaves.

Ponies 61
Zebra 12
Doe 2
Griffin 1

Play this music for this fight.

The big dog panicked and shouted "Attack him you fools!!" The dogs were hesitant at first but came over their fear and attacked him.

Ash didn't moved a muscle and used "Poison Armor" to cover himself with lethal poison and solidified it to form an armor made from poison. When the dogs attacked him with their weapons, they shattered against his tough armor. This shocked the dogs and slaves at how strong his armor was.

After having their weapons broken, 27 dogs started to claw and bite him which was a stupid idea. They caught the poison on their claws and their teeth which then started to spread on their entire bodies and melting them as they screamed in pain. This turned some of the slaves green while some even vomited.

The dogs were now terrified of him as they saw their own getting melted into a puddle of flesh and blood and started to back away. Seeing this, Ash stretched out both of his hands at the dogs and from each of his hand, a long flesh like tentacle came out and stabbed 2 dogs that were in front of him. The tentacles then injected "Prototype Virus" that immediately destroyed their insides, turning them into infected zombies who he can control. The infected were recognized with their eyes turning blood red and blood leaking from their ears, eyes, nose and mouth.

He mentally ordered the two infected zombies to attack the other dogs which they did and infected 8 more, then the new zombies infected 15 more. The dogs and slaves were baffled at why the dogs were attacking their own but the dogs quickly became aware of the zombies bleeding face and started to attacked them which only made 26 more infected zombies.

The leader of the dogs, Bark Bite saw that the table was turning against him so he let out a large roar and pointed his broad sword at Ash and said, "I challenge you to a one on one duel. No one is more stronger than me Bark Bite!" How wrong he was thinking that he could take him down just like that.

Ash who was amused by his foolishness accepted his challenged and ordered the infected zombies to let him through. The infected parted a way for Bark Bite to approach Ash. He snapped his fingers and brought out Yatsufusa in his right hand. When the dog was 15 feet away from him, he immediately rushed him while holding the broad sword at his back. At 6 feet near him, Bark bite jumped into the air and swung the sword down with all its might at Ash with intent to cut him in half. However, that did not happen because to Ash, he saw how slow the dog was moving and simply caught the sword in his left hand which was covered in "Armament Haki" that turned his hand shining black.

Bark Bite, the dogs and slaves were shocked with awe to see him stopping the massive blade with just his hand. They were once more shocked when Ash crushed the sword in his hand with a loud *Crunch* that made Bark Bite back away from him due to fear.

Bark Bite could not believe what he just saw. This thing that came out of nowhere, not only turned his loyal dogs against him but how strong he was to stop his attack. Now he was trembling with unbridled fear as he realized what a huge mistake it was to go against him. He should have just agreed to freeing the slaves and get to live another day but he got greedy and now he will pay the price for his mistake.

Ash then walked towards Bark Bite with powerful steps that made the ground crack under his fury. The dog couldn't move or run for its life as fear took hold of its whole body. Ash stopped right in front of Bark Bite, then raised his right arm with the sword still in his hand. Every slave was watching at the two with great interest, waiting to see what would happened to the dog's leader that had enslaved them. The few dogs (about 43) who sensed that their leader was about to be killed, rushed in to aid Bark Bite only for them to fall prey to the infected zombies.

When Ash brought his left hand on Bark Bite's head who was trembling with unbridled fear. He looked into the dog's eyes and spoke with venom, "This is what happens when to those who take pleasure in enslaving others for their own amusement." With a few swift motions, he cut Bark Bite to pieces. The pieces of Bark Bite turned black and went into the sword. He snapped his fingers and the sword disappeared. He also took a DNA sample from some of the blood on the ground.

Canterlot Castle

When the girls reached Canterlot, they quickly made their way to the castle and into the throne room where they meet with the princesses. The girls approached them with a smile but turned worried when they saw the princesses with a grim look.

The princesses both smiled a little and greeted them, "Hello, my little ponies. I thank you for coming here."

The girls smiled and Twilight said, "It's no problem, princess. We are happy to come here whenever you want us to. What is it that you need us to help you with."

The princesses face then turned sad and Celestia said, "I wish I could have not involved you all in this matter but I have no choice."

The girls were worried about what the princess were talking about. Twilight asked, "What happened, princess? Why don't you need our help?"

Princess Luna sadly said, "The Griffin kingdom, the Deer kingdom, the Minotaur kingdom, the Diamond dogs kingdom and the Dragon kingdom have come together and demanded us to hand over the Elements of Harmony to them and use their power against the monsters. They want to use you all as a prize in a fighting competition. Who ever wins owns you all."

This shocked all the girls when they heard this disturbing news. They were disgusted at the thought of being used as a mere prize. Twilight screamed at the princess, "This is an outrage, Celestia! We cannot accept this! We are not mere objects! We are living beings!"

Then Celestia shouted, "If I don't agree to this then all five of the kingdoms will wage war on us! They will not stop until they get their hands on you and the Elements. The only kingdoms that refused to participate in this was Zebrafrica and Monketopia."

The girls were shocked and saddened that if they did not agree to this then they will be attacked from five other kingdoms. As if the monster's attack was not enough. If war does happen, then a lot of lives will be lost and they did not like it.

Twilight spoke with a little hope, "But ... but there must be something we can do princess? You can send in your soldiers, right?"

Her hopes were shattered when the sun princess said sadly, "I am so sorry, Twilight. The other kingdoms have forbidden any ponies to enter the fight. Please forgive me. My hands are tied in this matter. If there was anything I could do then I would have done it immediately."

The girls were now crying that there was no way out for them from this matter. It's either they go as a prize for the competition or have a war waged on their peaceful kingdom and lose a lot of lives. They begrudgingly choose the former.

Just then the throne room double doors opened and came in a group of guards that contained griffins, dragons, Minotaurs, diamond dogs and deers. They surrounded the girls and said, "You all will be coming with us to the griffin kingdom as prizes. Do not resist or you will be subdued."

The girls did not fight them and went sadly with them. As they were leaving, the sun princess, in order to raise their morality, said, "Don't worry girls. I will try to talk to the other kings about releasing you all." This did very little to help their moods as they were then placed inside a huge cage and carried them off towards the griffin kingdom. They all started to cry silently while thinking what would happen to their lives after someone wins them as prizes.

Back at the castle, the two princess cried silently as they saw their ponies were taken away. They then got ready to go to the griffin kingdom and try to save their lives by talking with the kings of the five kingdoms. They must try to do everything they can to save their lives. The sun princess prayed that everything would turn out OK for her little ponies. Little did she know that a certain human would be the one to answer her plead.

Back to Ash at the slave camp

The whole place was silent as everyone stared at him with fear of how he easily killed the dog's leader just slashing him with a sword.

Ash then turned his attention to the remaining 428 dogs who were now trembling before him with fear. He then rushed at them while ordering the infected zombies to attack the rest of the dogs. About 86 dogs became prey to the infected while 153 were cut into pieces with Ash's wires. While killing the dogs, he saw that 96 of them were running away which meant that they could regroup later and continue to enslave others. This he cannot allow and shouted "Voice Machine Gun". The ponies saw him open his mouth and were shocked to see him shooting *Brahahahahahah* small red bullets made of sound from his mouth at the dogs, leaving their bodies with several small holes.

Then his "Echolocation" alerted him that the rest of the 93 surviving dogs were running away by digging quickly into the ground. These insects dare to run away when they did horrible things to the slaves. No!!! He would not let them have the chance to live for another day if it means others would only be enslaved by them. He immediately formed different hand signs and slammed his hands onto the ground and shouted "Wood Style Ground Decapitation". This made the near tree roots to grow rapidly and move towards the dogs under the ground and skewered them all making them scream as they died. None were spared.

Silence took hold of the air as the slaves were now happy to be freed from their slavers but fear of what Ash will do next. They saw him starting to walk towards them. As he came closer, fear started to raise in them as they thought he was going to hurt them. He then swung his hand and with a *Slice* sound, the chains that were holding them were cut into pieces.

After Ash cut their chains with his wires, he gently said, "You have no need to fear me. I have come from Ponyville to rescue all of you." This made them relax as they now know he was not going to harm them. He continued, "I am now going to send everyone of you to Poniville's hospital where your wounds will be taken care of. Also while your there, tell them of what happen here OK."

This confused them about how he is going to send them all but they were surprised at what happened next. Ash shouted "Sound Orb" that covered everyone of the slaves who were now floating 2 feet above the ground. Then suddenly they were shot in the air at the speed of sound towards Ponyville. After a few minutes they landed safely in front of Ponyville's hospital and immediately ran into the building to get their wounds and weak bodies taken care of.

After Ash sent all the rescued individuals, he then order the infected zombies to gather all of the dead diamond dogs, even the ones under ground. After all the corpses were collected, he then stomped his right leg and large amount of viral flesh started to spread from his right foot towards the corpses and infected zombies, and devoured them all. Not even a single drop of blood was left.

Diamond Dog DNA
Can dig through dirt and rocks with ease.

After his work was done, he used "Soru" to travel back to Ponyville to spend some time with his new friends and his lover Fluttershy that made him blush.

Ponyville

After arriving in Ponyville, he first walked towards his lover Fluttershy's house. When he arrived at her house, he knocked on her door and waited for her reply. He didn't receive any, so he used his "Echolocation" on the house in search for her but did not find her. Must have gone someplace else, he thought.

If Fluttershy is not here, then he walked towards the house of his other friends. While walking through Ponyville, he heard the ponies talking about how Ash went alone to a slave camp and rescued everyone of them. Well, news spreads fast here. He continued his walk towards his friends houses but they all were not present in their houses or for that matter, in Ponyville.

He then asked some nearby ponies about the whereabouts of Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle. Some of the ponies saw them running towards the train that was headed to Canterlot.

He was pleased to know where they went but was worried about the "running" part. Why would they run towards the train that was headed towards Canterlot? He then remembered that Twilight was telling him about where the princesses lived and that was Canterlot. This could only mean that some trouble was brewing there. So he used his "Superhuman Hearing" and focused on Canterlot to in order to find his friends.

He searched the city for any sound that would match his friends but he did not hear any. This got him worried about their safety, so he expanded the range of his hearing around Canterlot by a huge margin. He then heard some voices that belonged to his friends but what he heard really made him angry.

Back to the Mane 6 (Fluttershy, Rarity, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle) a few minutes earlier.

While they were being transported to the griffin kingdom in a cage, the girls were all miserable and were silently crying while hugging each other. They were thinking that their lives would get better when they finally found a caring stallion who cared about them enough that he would ....... Ash!

The girls were so sad and worried that they completely forgot about Ash. But how will they let him know what is going on? Fluttershy remembered that he told them in that piece of paper that if they ever got in trouble, they just need to speak about it and he will hear them. So she started to speak, "Ash. If you can hear me, please help us."

Twilight spoke, "Please help us, Ash. The princesses can't even help us or there will be a war."

Applejack spoke, "Please, Ash. I don't want to be away from my family."

Rainbow Dash spoke, "Yeah, Ash. Please come and beat them all up."

Rarity spoke, "Ash, darling. I don't want to become a prize for some barbarian. Please save us."

Pinkie Pie spoke, "Please save us, Ash. I don't want to be with someone who will be mean to me and my friends."

The near by guards heard their plead and laughed at them saying, "No one is coming to save you. The griffin king made sure of that."

The girls did not stop and made many attempts to speak about their situation as they reached the griffin kingdom. They hope that he would hear their plea ... and he did.

Back to Ash

Ash heard enough and summoned his ki and started flying in the sky. The surrounding ponies looked at him in awe at the sight of flying without any wings. He then followed the voices of his friends and flew in the direction of the griffon kingdom.

While he was flying through the air, his anger was growing with each passing second as he was worried about the girls safety. But more importantly what he was going to do to the ones that caused this mess. Within 20 minutes, he reached the griffin kingdom by following the girls voices and landed in front of the city gate.

As he was walking through the gate, two griffin guards stepped in his way. The first griffin said, "Halt! Who goes there?"

Ash looked at the guards who had a bird like appearance with wings. He saw they were equipped with steel armor with gold ends. As for weapons, a spear and a sword. So these are griffins and the ones who took his friends. Just thinking that made his blood boil and was about to kill him but stopped when the other guard spoke.

The other guard said, "Hey, Saber. Look at his body, that giant cross, and that spear. He must be one of those fighters that has come to participate in the tournament to win the Elements of Harmony." What? Elements of what?

The first guard said, "Hmm, maybe your right. Okay just go ahead and sign up for the fight. Not like you will win that is."

That last statement confused him about not winning but ignored it and walked through the gate and into the city. This city looked like the Romans had built them. He saw many of the griffins going around doing their business but what else he saw were many different species who wore armors and weapons. These must be those fighters that are going to participate in the fight. So he followed them.

While he was following the fighter who he was going to beat later, he heard many voices from the city that only made him angry.

"Hey you heard about the Elements of Harmony going to be held as a prize in the Colosseum?"

"Yeah. And have you seen the bearers of the elements? Wish I could compete and win them as my trophies."

"I want them as my slaves and do whatever I want with them."

"They would have made me look great as their master."

"I want all of my elite soldiers to participate in this fight. I don't want to let the elements slip away from my claws. I don't care about what I promised to the other kingdoms. Just win the fight and you will be greatly rewarded."

That last sound came from the castle. So the owner of this voice must be the ruler of this city and he wants to win this fight by any means necessary and mistreat the girls! NO!!! He will not allow this. He is going to teach him, a king a lesson which state why you don't fuck with his friends.

He found the registration area for the Colosseum and saw there was a long line of fighters who were signing up for the fight. He remained patient and waited for his turn to register while thinking of all kinds of brutality he is going to unleash on these so called elite fighters.

When his turn came, he was the last one to register but as he was about to, the one who registered the fighters said, "I am sorry to say that there will be no more registrations for the competition as they are now full."

Ash wanted to smash this griffin's face in but calmly reached into his coat to take something out. The griffin saw this and became afraid what he was going to pull out. Ash used his reality warping to create a gold diamond and placed on the desk.

The griffin's eyes were stuck on the gold diamond that was put in front of him. Ash then said, "Get me into the fight and you can have this."

The griffin immediately changed his attitude, "Of course, sir. I'll get you in without any problem" and took the diamond. Ash was then taken to a large room where the fighter were kept.

When Ash entered the room, every fighter turned their attention to him and stared at him. This was because he was the only human that was present on this world and that he looked like a 9 foot tall being that can take them on with ease which is true.

Ash ignored their stare and simply walked to the back of the room, leaning his back to the wall and waited for the fight to begin. As he was waiting, the other fighter started to talk about him, which made his blood boil.

"What's that thing doing here?"

"Is it going to participate in the fight?"

"It looks like a shaved monkey with clothes?"

"It should be in a circus with the other freaks."

"It will make an easy kill during the fight."

"Can't wait to get that shiny cross from it corpse."

"I can't wait to get that shiny spear."

After waiting for half an hour, the gate to the Colosseum opened and everyone walked through it. When Ash walked out of the gate, he was at least impressed how the Colosseum looked from the inside.

When the fighters were coming to the arena's center, Ash looked at them closely and saw what they are.

He saw a 13 foot tall being that had muscular body with two horns on his head and equipped with small armor around his waist and wrist. He also held a great axe. This must be a Minotaur.

He also saw many griffins who he thought were the kings elite soldiers.

Then he saw the dogs who were the same as the ones he killed before.

There were also beings that looked like a deer. They were equipped with a spear and a shield.

And finally there were four huge dragons who were about 50 feet tall. One held a huge gigantic hammer and some body armor.

When he checked his opponents, he looked up where the royal box was and saw 7 different individuals sitting there wearing regal clothes and crowns. The first one he saw was a 16 foot tall dragon who he assumed is the dragon king. Next was a 9 foot tall dog who wore many jewelry, making him look like an important figure or a king of the diamond dogs. Then there was the 15 foot tall Minotaur wearing a crown and clothes, so he must be the Minotaur king. After him, he saw a 10 foot tall deer wearing a crown and armor who must be the deer king. Then he moved to the next individual and when he does, his anger starts to rise. There sitting with a gold crown, gold armor, gold necklace, gold rings and a golden sword was the griffin king at 9 foot tall. He was sitting there with a smug smile thinking he had already won the bearers of the Elements of Harmony. Well, that is where he is wrong.

He then turned to his sight towards the last two individuals and was taken back by their beauty. The first one was a 9 foot tall pony with white wings, horn and coat. She had multicolored mane and tail that were flowing. This must be princess Celestia.

The one next to her was a 8 foot tall pony with dark-blue wings, horn and coat. She had Light blue starry mane and tail that were also flowing. She look a bit younger so she must be Celestia younger sister, princess Luna.

When he was done looking at their beauty, he saw that the princess had a sad look on her face while talking with the griffin king who didn't even looked at her and had a smug smile on his face. Ash then used his "Superhuman Hearing" to hear their conversation.

Celestia pleaded with the griffin king, "Please, king Black Beak. Spare my little ponies lives. Don't take them away like this."

King Black Beak smugly said, "That I cannot do princess. You possess a weapon of great power and you have not used them on the monsters. It's time someone truly used them for what they are."

Hearing this, Ash's blood began to boil with anger. How dare this griffin think of the girls as nothing but an object, a weapon to be used on the monsters! His mind was now clear on who to slaughter. He decided his goal, "Slaughter and Brutalize every fighter in the arena. Make a Terrifying example to the kings of what happens when they Mess with his friends!"

If Ash thought that he couldn't get anymore angrier than this, then he was dead wrong. He heard someone crying softly and turned his vision in that direction and when he looks at the one crying, all of his anger that was building inside him just vanished. There in a huge cage that was hanging from the arena's wall contained his 6 friends where the girls were all held in it with miserable looks on their faces as they silently cry. Especially Fluttershy who looked like she had just seen her family killed in front of her.

For 10 whole seconds Ash stood there with a shock face staring at the girls with wide eyes. Then from the depths of his body, anger started to erupt inside his body. He was trembling with anger but kept it controlled inside his body but he held on just barely. He wants to put up a show of immense strength and brutality that no one will be able to forget what they saw this day in the Colosseum.

When Ash was ready to unleash his wrath upon these so called fighters, an announcer spoke from a speaker.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the grand battle where you will see fighters from all around the world killing and tearing each others apart. In the tournament, we have the griffin kingdom's most elite soldiers who have protected this kingdom from all monster attacks from the outside. Today they will be fighting against many diamond dogs, Minotaur and deer warriors. The dragon kingdom has also sent in one of their elite dragon warrior. In this tournament, every fighter is for themselves. In the end, there will be only one winner and for him there is a special prize. That lucky winner will have the pleasure of owing the Bearers of the Elements of Harmony as his property. Now let the fight to the death begin!"

Play this music for the fight.

Then a bell rang, it signaled every fighter to take a battle stance and look at their opponents. Everyone was starring at each other thinking of ways to being the other down, all except Ash who didn't take a battle stance. He just stood there looking at the fighters while just barely keeping his anger in check. He used "Hair Sensor" and "Echolocation" to count the numbers and types of enemies and mark them in his sound map.

Here is what he will fight.

Griffin Soldiers 300
Minotaur Warrior 100
Diamond Dogs 150
Deer Warriors 130
Dragon Warriors 4
Unknown Creature 1

Ash sensed an unknown creature held behind a locked gate. He wanted to find what it was but a sudden battle cry brought him out of his thought. He turned his attention to the sound and saw that fighter were now engaging each others. Some went as a group while some went alone. He also saw some fighters approaching the giant dragon but they were either squashed by his huge hammer or were hit from his long spike tail.

Another one of the dragons caught his attention. It was fighting without a weapon and just breathing fire on them. He thought of a perfect way to get everyone's attention on him. He brought out Yatsufusa and brought it up over his head. He pulled his hand back like he was going to through something. And when he saw it was in the right angle, he threw the sword at the dragon who had its back to him. The sword pierced threw the dragon's armor and came out threw its chest with blood on it. The sword imbedded itself in the wall leaving the arena in silence.

The dragon didn't even have enough time to scream because all it did was clutch its chest because it was pierced threw the heart. As the dragon was falling down, its body turned black and was sucked into to the sword like the diamond dog at the slave camp. He casted on magnetizing spell on the sword and brought back to his hand and made it disappear with a snap of his fingers. Everyone in the colosseum was staring at a creature that took down a dragon by throughing a sword threw its heart. They were surprised at what happened next.

He brought his hands up and closed his eyes. Rocks started to float in the sky and the ground started trembling. He was gathering energy and his muscles were starting to grow. He was surrounded by a light blue fire of energy that was starting to change into a golden hue. His hair was starting to change from black to golden and his energy was beginning to sky rocket. He spread his arms and the golden light engulfed the entire location. When everyone looked at the creature they saw it was engulfed in a golden fire. It had golden hair instead of its black hair and had blue eyes instead of black eyes. He just turned into a Super Saiyan.

Ash then sensed two beings were coming from both of his sides, a griffin from the left and a deer from the right. He didn't move from his place and lowered his head facing the ground and waited. As they came within 15 feet, they jumped into the air and brought their weapons down upon Ash. As the weapons came down, he curled both of his hands into fists and swung them in their direction, right fist at the deer while the left fist at the griffin. When the griffin and the deer saw his incoming fist, they immediately changed their weapons direction to his fist, intending to cut off his hand. Too bad that his fists are harder than their weapons or any tough metal.

When their weapons made contact with his fist, they shattered *Crackle* into hundreds of pieces but Ash's fists did not stop. His fists were still going for their heads and when they both met them, both of their heads exploded *Splat* from the immense strength he put into his fists. Then their headless bodies fall beside him with blood spilling from their necks.

The five kings and the two princesses were looking at him in shock and awe along with the audience. There in the middle of the arena, Ash stood with both of his arms stretched to his sides and with his head down. Then he slowly lowered his arms to his sides. He also absorbed the griffin and deer blood and gained their DNA.

The announcer spoke "Wow. Ladies and gentlemen. Did you all see that? He first threw at sword at such strength that it killed a dragon. He just killed two fighters with his bare hands without even looking. He must be a real strong one to do something like that. I can even feel the power he is radiating from here."

The audience cheered at Ash for his display of strength. As they were cheering for him, a boastful Minotaur who just cleaved a griffin with his axe, saw this and got angry at Ash for taking away all the attention from him. The Minotaur then charged towards Ash. When the Minotaur came within 4 feet, he lifted his axe above his head and brought it down upon Ash's head. The Minotaur smirked that he was not able to dodge his attack or more specifically, Ash didn't even bother to dodge.

Ash used "Tekkai" on his head which shattered *Crackle* the axe into hundreds of pieces, shocking everyone again. The Minotaur looked at his broken axe in disbelief. Ash with his head still looking towards the ground, thrust both of his arms into the Minotaur's chest. He then ripped the Minotaur's chest opened with a sickening *Keerrriiiiippp* by moving his arms side ways. The Minotaur looked down at his opened chest with blood spraying from it. He tried to close his chest by to no avail and then dropped dead. Ash absorbed the Minotaur's blood on his hands and got its DNA.

The entire Colosseum again became silent as they saw him brutally killed the Minotaur with his bare hands again. The announcer spoke "Well, looks like it has been confirmed that he is indeed a strong being. Strong enough to stop the Minotaur's axe with his head. Who is he and what will he be showing all of us in the tournament?" This got the audience to cheer for Ash again.

In the huge cage, not wanting to see the fighter kill each other off, the six girls kept their eyes closed. But when they heard the announcer talked about a strong individual, they opened their eyes to look at the being. When they saw who it was, they gasped with happiness. There in the center of the arena was their coltfriend, Ash. His presence alone took all their worries and fear away from them. Even though they saw three dead fighters around him, they were not scared because he was doing this to saved them and they started to cheer for him as well. They were also surprised to see his hair colored has changed from black to golden.

A group of fighters were slowly approaching him, they thought they could take him in a group, how wrong they were. Ash cupped both his hands together and gathered some energy. "Ka...." The area was starting to shake again. "Me...." The group was still going to the creature because they weren't scared. "Ha...." Rubble and some debris was starting to float in the air. "Me...." A blue ball of energy appeared in my hands that made the area appear dark. "Ha.....!" I thrusted my hands to the group that was coming towards me with a blue energy wave.

They tried to run away but the attack was too fast and it destroyed the group and a couple of other contestants who were just standing there and watching my attack unfold. The blast was so long it blasted through the wall making a giant gaping hole where you could see the city. When the attack was over I brought my hands back down and left the audience in awe of my amazing power.

Back at the arena, Ash stood there waiting for any of the fighters to make a move on him. The another of the dragons who easily killed his opponents with his hammer, looked at Ash and grinned. If he kill him then all the attention will come to him, he thought. What could a puny being do to a giant dragon like him. With this thought, the dragon then made his was towards Ash who didn't moved.

Every attention turned towards the dragon who was approaching Ash. The fighters who were in the dragons path, moved aside and let him pass. They wanted to see him kill Ash. When the dragon came close, he raised his massive hammer above him and look down at Ash who was still looking at the ground. He said while grinning, "Any last words, worm?"

When he got no response from Ash, the dragon exclaimed, "Those mares will become my property!" and brought his hammer down upon Ash who didn't even budge from his position while the six mares were yelling him to move.

As the hammer came crashing down on Ash, *Crash* huge clouds of sands and dust spread everywhere which obscured everyone's vision. Silence once again reign the entire arena where the audience and the fighters stood still, waiting to see what happened to Ash.

When the dust dissipated, everyone including the kings and princess gasped at what they all saw. There, at the center of the arena, below the hammer that stood 9 1/2 feet above the ground was Ash who was just fine. They were thinking why the hammer didn't made contact with Ash or why the hammer stopped? When they looked at Ash closely, they again gasped with shocked and awe at what they saw. Ash had raised his right arm up and was stopping the massive hammer with ............ a single finger!!!???

Everyone in the arena had their jaws on the ground at the display of his immense strength. There were only a few powerful individuals who could stop such an attack with both of their hands but this person stopped it with just one of his finger! But their shock were escalated at what he did next.

Ash curled the middle finger in his right hand while still stopping the hammer, and concentrated a lot of strength at the tip of his finger. He then flicked his middle finger towards the hammer and when it made contact, a loud *Clang* emitted and then *Crackle*, the entire hammer shattered into millions of pieces. If everyone's jaws weren't on the ground then now it must have dislocated their jaw bone to get lower. Even the dragon was starring at his broken hammer in disbelief.

The other two dragons came from behind the other dragon and breathed fire on Ash. They thought if the hammer didn't work than maybe some dragon fire breath could be used. Dragon fire is the strongest of all and no one could survive, or so they thought. *Gulp* A large gulp was heard from inside the fireball and what happened next surprised everyone. Ash was sucking in the dragon fire into his mouth like it was ordinary food. After all the fire in his mouth he swallowed it all put his head back towards the ground.

The next thing he did shocked the audience to their core. The arena started to rumble and the shaking was the cause of Ash. He was mixing the fire magic inside him with lightning magic. He engulfed himself in actually flames but that's not all that was there. Lightning was surging across the flames as Ash was right in the middle of it. He was in his Lightning Flame Dragon Mode.

He sucked in all of the flames and lightning that was all over his body. He bended his back till he had his faced aimed at the dragons in front of him. One of the dragons got out of the way without the other two noticing. He shouted, "Lighting Flame Dragon Roar!!!!"

The two dragons didn't have time to dodge the attack and were engulf in an attack of fire and lightning. The attack burst right at the top of the arena missing any of the audience. The attack was so large it could be seen for miles. When the attack the over all that was left of the two dragons was the lower half of their bodies. The attack only got the top art of their bodies and turned that part to ash. The bodies then fell down on the ground in a loud bang.

The last dragon was still shaking and wondering what the creature will do to it. Ash then bent over, put some strength into his legs and jumped at such speed that he vanished in front of everyone. He then appeared in front of the dragon's face who was now standing still with fear controlling his body when he saw the anger in Ash's eyes.

Ash, while still in the air reared his right hand back, then swung forward towards the dragon's left face and punched him with a loud *Baaassshh* emitting threw out the arena. The hit turned the dragon's head to the right with such force that his neck *Crack* was broken from the powerful blow and *Crash* dropped dead on the ground. Ash landed back on his original position and continued to look down on the ground.

Again there was silence in the air. Everyone have seen bizarre things in their lives but here they saw the impossible. This person has taken down two dragons with a roar of lightning and fire like if an actual dragon had done it. And a giant 50 foot powerful dragon with a single punch!! They were all mimicking like fishes. They just could not believe what they were seeing. Even the five kings and the two princesses were shocked beyond anything they could think of.

The announcer came out of his shock and spoke "Down. The dragons are down. This being has taken down the dragon, who even the fighters were having a hard time with, took them down with amazing skills. What is he and who is he to possess such monstrous strength that can take down powerful dragons. And .... whats this? He is now moving towards the dragon. What is he going to do?"

Ash approached the dragon's corpse with hate and anger growing inside of him with what that dragon said about the mares being his property. How dare he thought that he could treat the mares, his friends as mere objects. Ash came close to the dead dragon, grabbed its back with his right hand and then lifted the corpse above him. Everyone was again shocked at the display of his strength but their shocked turned to fear with what he did next.

Ash then grabbed the dragon's neck with his left hand and with great strength, ripped its head off with a loud *Keerrriiippp* from its body. Then he threw the body to his right and the head to his left, and stood there with his arms stretched sideways. He absorbed the dragon's blood that was sprayed on him and got its DNA.

The audience was now looking at him with dumbfounded expressions. The fighters who were underestimating him or badmouthing him were now scared for their lives as they saw how he easily brought the dragon down and ripped him in two with his bare hands.

Ash then slowly turned his attention to the rest of the fighters who recoiled in fear when they saw him looking at them with hate and anger in his eyes. These are the ones who want to take away his friends. These things dare to take away the right of his friends. These .... these .... these lower life forms. Then he thought demonically, Slaughter them all. Don't even let one of these things alive.

He had his hand glow bright colors. His left and glowed a yellow like while his right was engulfed in small flames. He screamed, "Dragon Slayer Secret Art: Flame Lotus Exploding Lightning blade."

I sent a torrent of lightning and flames towards the fighters. Most of them got out of the way, but some were hit and got turned to ash.

Play this music for his brutal slaughter.

Ash then bend his body backwards with his face looking at the sky. He then spread his arms and shouted "Don't underestimate me!!! You lower life forms!!! Grrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!" with all of his anger and hate that he manifested two Gourmet demons, "The Red Ogre" and "Evil Voice Demon" who also roared at the fighters.

Ash's roar terrified everyone in the Colosseum except for the 6 mares who understood why he was getting so much angry. The rest of fighters were now trembling with unbridled fear as they now wished that they didn't came to this tournament. But their fears only worsened when they saw him pulling out his spear and having it fly in the air. It spun for a few seconds before it divined into the ground. What sprung up was a large plant that bloomed into a sunflower that glowed brightly. "Fourth Configuration: Sunflower" It charged up and fired concentrated sun beams while I ran towards the fighters.

Ash rushed at a group of fighters at a speed that they will be able to see but won't get away from. His running sounded like bombs were exploding. That was true as he was making 10 feet wide craters in the ground with each powerful *Boom* *Boom* *Boom* step.

As he reached a group of fighters, he simply punched in the middle of the group with such force that let out a powerful *Boom* shockwave that not only sent fighters in different direction but their bodies exploded under the incredible pressure of the shockwave. Ash then ran towards another group of fighter and killed them in the same way.

Now every fighter was running for their lives as Ash rushed at them and brutally killed them. Some were ripped in two, some had their hearts ripped out from their chest, some had their heads ripped off, some were ripped from their pelvic to their chest, some had their spines ripped out while some were crushed under his feet. Those who tried to escape the arena by flying, only got themselves full of holes from his "Voice Machine Gun". As for those who tried to escape by digging into the ground, Ash punched the ground so hard that it crushed them and killed them. While this was happening the sunflower was hitting any of the fighters that Ash didn't get or any of the corpses that were on the ground.

The audience, kings and princesses only looked at the arena with terrified expressions as they watched Ash slaughtering all of the fighter in the most brutal way they could think of. They even saw the human grabbing a Griffin above him and then *Keeeerrrrrriiiiiippppp* slowly and painfully ripped the griffin in two. After 10 minutes of brutality, Ash stood in the center of the arena and looked at his surroundings. He saw the mangled and ripped corpses of the so called fighters and the ground was covered in their blood and gore. From the audience perspective, it look like they were looking at a scene from hell. He called back his spear and powered down back into base form.

Ash then calmed down and looked at the cage that held his friends. He saw that they did not look fearful of him which made him smile and started to approach them. The girls were waiting impatiently for him to come and release them and when he does, they will shower him with their love for him.

When Ash was approaching the mares, king Black Beak did not liked the outcome of this tournament. He wanted to keep the bearers of the Elements of Harmony for himself and use them for his liking. He even sent in most of his elite soldiers in this tournament thinking that one of his soldier would have won in the end. King Black Beak then shouted to his guards, "Release the Crystal Scorpion!"

When Ash heard this, he stopped and looked at the gate where the unidentified creature was, which he now knows was a Crystal Scorpion. Why it is called that? He found out when a huge 40 foot scorpion with crystal growing all over its body, came out from the gate and into the arena.

The audience gasped at this because this is a ferocious creature with lethal poison. The princesses immediately spoke to the griffin king with anger, "What is the meaning of this!? He won fair and square. Are you going to go back on your words!?"

The king simply scoffed and said, "The Elements of Harmony are only my tools and I will let no one have it. And if I can't have them then I would rather destroy them!"

The princesses were appalled to hear him say about destroying the bearers and the elements. The dragon king, diamond dog king and the deer king were not phased by the griffin kings words as they did not care what happened to them. Only the Minotaur king looked disturbed with this news.

When Ash heard this, his vision became red with anger at the griffin king. He wanted to not only use them as tools but kill them if he could not have them! He decided to torture this so called king but his attention was directed towards the Crystal Scorpion who was approaching the cage with intent to eat the girls.

Ash quickly rushed at the scorpion and stood in between the girls and the scorpion. The scorpion saw him getting in his way and lashed its poisonous tail at Ash to kill him and move to eat the girls. However, that did not go well for the scorpion as Ash, with his "Superhuman Vision" saw the scorpion's electromagnetic auras and predicted its attack, which he easily caught its tail in his right hand. The scorpion tried to pull its tail back but Ash did not budge an inch.

Ash then lifted the entire scorpion into the air and proceed to pound it to the ground like a hammer *Bam* *Crash* *Bam*. After pounding the scorpion for about 1 whole minute, Ash threw away the scorpion who looked really beat and wounded with cracks all over its body. The scorpion was now angry with Ash who toyed with it, and charged at him.

Ash saw this and jumped into the air, reared his right arm back, then punched the scorpion on its head and *Crash* squashed it with green blood splattering around. A crater of about 20 foot was formed under the scorpion. He absorbed its green blood and got its DNA.

Here is what he obtained from this fight.

Minotaur DNA
Strength and durability.

Griffin DNA
Can form eagle wings from his back.

Deer DNA
Immune to cold atmosphere.

Teen Dragon DNA
Dragon scales hard as steel. Immune to fire. Stronger dragon breath. Can now eat metals and ores.

Crystal Scorpion DNA
Can now create different jewels from his body.

Everyone was once again looked at Ash in disbelief at how he first toyed with the Crystal Scorpion and then squashed it like a bug. He then started to approach the cage that held his friends. The cage was hanging from the wall, so Ash formed some hand signs, then slammed his hands on the ground and said "Wood Style Stair Formation". Then to everyone's amazement, tree like roots started to rise from the ground and move towards the cage and formed wooden stairs that lead from the ground to the cage.

Ash then started to move up the stairs towards the cage. As he was reaching the girls, the griffin king shouted to his guards, "Don't let it reach the Elements!" A group of 50 griffin came from the sky towards him.

Ash was now seething with rage at the griffin king who just kept getting in his way. As he was about to reach the mares, two of the 50 guards stood in his way and pointed their weapons at him. He looked at the guards surrounding him and sighed. He motioned one finger to the six mares in the cage that he will be with them in a minute. He backflipped to the center of the arena. The King thought he was going to leave but was shocked at what he did next. Ash grabbed a key from the pouch on his leg. This key glowed a dark color and then what happened next shocked everyone. A dark purple mist covered the entire area. No one could hardly see a thing.

"Open, Gate of the Snake Charmer, Ophiuchus!" The voice of Ash echoed all across the colosseum. The next thing everyone sees is a large snake with markings all over its body and purple eyes with no pupils in them.

I sent a psychic message to the giant snake and said, 'Ophiuchus, I need you to attack the 50 griffin guards that are in the area. And don't harm the 6 mare that are in the cage.' The snake nodded to my request and began its attack. A griffin tried attacking it but his weapons had no effect. The snake got up close and ate the griffin. Ophiuchus did the same thing to the other 49 griffin guards. After about 2 minutes all of the griffin guards were eaten by the snake and the snake disappeared, taking the the purple mist with it.

Now the king was flabbergasted at how easily he took down his guards and soldiers. Not even the princesses can take down 50 elite guards with ease but this being did that like it was nothing at all.

When Ash reached the mares, he smiled at them and said, "Are you all alright?"

The mares smiled in return and Rainbow Dash said, "We are now thanks to you, big guy."

Ash was thankful that they were fine and said, "Now, please get away from the door."

The mares did that and Ash proceeded to grab the door, ripped it off and threw it behind him. As soon as he did that, the mares immediately hugged him and started to cry. He also hugged them to calm them down. After a while they calmed down and Ash smiled softly at them and said, "Girls. I am going to send you all to my house. When you get there, I want you all to go in my house and wait for me there. Alright?"

The girls were confused at that but nodded as they should know that he can do many different feat. Fluttershy asked, "What ... are you going to here ..... if you don't mind me asking?"

Ash smiled and said, "I got some business to deal with a certain king." He then said "Sound Orb" and covered them in sound and send them to his house.

When the girls were gone, he then slowly looked at the kings, more specifically at the griffin king with an angry scowl. The king was about to say something when Ash used "Soru" to appear in front of him in the blink of an eye. He then glared down at the king with hate who was sitting on his seat. The other kings moved away from him in fear that he would hurt them for what they made the princesses do.

The griffin king was now trembling with fear for in front of him was the very being that killed every elite guard and soldiers not only of his own but other kingdoms as well. Ash then spoke in a demonic voice that sent shivers down the king's and princesses' spines, "You dare call my friends a weapon and treat them like they are nothing more than a tool?"

King Black Beak could not speak in his defense as fear take control of his body. Ash continues, "You were going to use them like weapons against the monsters?"

In a blur, Ash grabbed Black Beak by his shoulders with both hands and lifted him up so that everyone could see the griffin king. Ash shouted angrily, "You dare force the princesses to hand them over to the likes of you!"

As then brought the griffin king closer to his face and stared him in the eyes with hatred and shouted, "This is what happens when you mess with my friends." With that he ripped both of the griffin's arm off *Kerriip*. The griffin fell down and he screamed at the top of his lungs. Ash was holding his severed arms in his hands, crushed them an throw it away in the other kings direction which scared them. He then grabbed the griffin's throat and lifted him up again. He held him with one hand and used his other hand to grab one of the griffin's legs and rip it off *Kerriip* which made the griffin screamed more. Then he ripped his other leg *Kerriip* and then proceeded to rip Black Beak's wings. The griffin king's scream echoed through out the Colosseum as no one dare moved to stop Ash in fear of his wrath.

After ripping all of the griffin's limbs, Black Beak laid down on the ground, screaming and crying at the loss of his limbs and wings. Ash then grabbed his head and lifted him above himself and showed the limbless king to the audience who gasped at the griffin king's condition. Ash then shouted, "This is the so called king who thought he could get away with anything just because he is the ruler of this country!!! Now look at the pathetic state he is in!!!" He then threw the griffin at the feet of the other kings who were now trembling before him with unbridled fear.

Ash looked at the other kings with a scowl and said, "Here is my warning to you so called kings. You try some shit like that griffin, you will be in the same position as him. And this time, I will come to your kingdoms and I will destroy them. You. Have. Been. Warned."

He was about to jump out of the royal box when he remembered something. He turned his attention to the princesses. They were fearful at what he would do. When he was a few feet from them he reached into his pocket and grabbed the golden necklace that appeared on his neck a few days ago. They were shocked to see him with that. He said in a soft tone, "I think you should keep a hold of this until it is needed. I don't much about it except it called me the element of compassion." They looked back at him and look back the element in his hands. They smiled and Celestia took it from his hands. "We will take care it." She said in a soft voice.

I nodded and jumped into the arena. The gate was closed so he kicked them which *Crash* destroyed the entire gate and he walked out of gate and then out of the city. As he was walking through the city, the inhabitants of the city looked at him with fear and kept their distance away from him. Even the guards ran away when they saw him.

When he reached outside the city, he summoned his ki and flew into the direction of Ponyville towards his house and check on his friends and his lovers.

Back at the Colosseum

They princesses looked at the griffin king with pity as he was being carried away by the doctors. The princesses have seen Ash's monstrous strength and brutality that no one should have been a victim of. But when the princesses saw how he treated her 6 ponies with such gentleness and kindness, their worries faded away because he did all of this to save them. He will do anything to protect them from the monsters even if he becomes a monster himself in doing so.

The princesses were happy to know this and wanted to meet with him personally but they still have work back at their castle. They also looked at the necklace and happy to know there is another Element of Harmony that wishes to protect others. So sun princess said, "Well now that this is all over. Why don't we return to our castle, Luna?"

The moon princess nodded and said, "Agreed. Let us return to our home at once, sister."

When they turned to move, the other kings stopped them and said, "Where do you think you're going? We still don't know where that creature's allegiance is. For all we know that must be your pet since it came and took them away. Do you want to start a war with our kingdoms!?"

The princesses turned around and looked back at the four kings. Then Celestia said calmly, "That creature is a "he" and he does not belong to anyone. He is his own self and as for that last statement, if I were you then I would not do such a foolish thing."

The kings got angry at the princesses who, before the tournament were very submitted to them but now, they act like they can just walk all over them. The deer king said, "Know your place mare. You are beneath me and what is exactly stopping us from waging a war against your kingdom?"

Then Luna spoke smugly, "The very being who slaughtered all of yours and the other kingdom's elite soldiers."

This statement stopped the four kings who could not speak anything. They did not want to deal with a powerful monster such as Ash who easily slaughtered their strongest warriors. The next thing Luna said really made them doubt their plans for waging a war against the princesses.

Luna said, "Do you want the same thing happen to any of you like what the human did to Black Beak. He has clearly warned all of you about it?"

Silence reign as the kings did not said anything else. They knew that he would torture them and kill them and their kingdom if they did something as the griffin king.

When they didn't say anything, the princesses resumed walking towards their chariots and returned to their castle. They were thinking about the figure who won the tournament with ease. And thinking about the necklace he gave them and what the element represents. Such a strong being but at the same time gentle and kind towards her little ponies. They want to meet with him and get to know him. Such an individual who didn't fear death in order to protect his friends will make a great king. Maybe he will be the one to save Equestria from its surrounding enemies.
