Applejack was paralyzed by fear. The shell of a living being that was Mane scared the shit out of her. The thought of going twelve rounds with a manticore sounded better than going one round with this freak.

Mane cast his gaze over her. The sounds that came from his throat didn't belong to that of a living being. He let out a cry before dashing at a speed that would make Rainbow Dash jealous. When he made contact, Applejack was sent flying into a cart of peppers.

"How in the hay am Ah supposed to beat him?" she said to herself before getting up. Mane had a smirk on his face that said he already won this fight. Applejack was content with proving him wrong.

She rushed the griffin to attack. When she was only a few feet away, she pivoted about her forelegs and slammed her hind legs into his face. Mane stood there and took it like a man, or a bitch. End effect: nothing.

Mane let out a small chuckle before decking her in the face, hard. Applejack slid on the ground a ways before stopping. Her jaw was broken in that one punch.

Its like Ah can't even hurt him.

Applejack spit out blood before standing. She was about to say something when her jaw started hurting like none other.

Mane walked towards her like it was business as usual. When he reached her, he hit her again. Applejack got back up. So he hit her again. She got back up.

"This is pointless, kill her already."

What in the hay was that? she had heard the voice talk to Mane.

Unfortunately, she didn't have much time to think about it because he picked her up by the throat and started squeezing.

Rainbow Dash was flying like she had never flown before. She was content on helping everypony with the fight now, but she still didn't have the speed she needed.

Or at least that was a problem in the past. The mach cone started to form around her. Pushing through this, she entered hyper-sonic speeds and, for the first time in history, there was a rainbow in the middle of the night.

Now with all the speed in the world, she quickly got to town to see Mane choking Applejack.

"Oh no you don't." Rainbow muttered to herself.

Somehow picking up more speed than before, she flew straight into Mane. The impact knocked Applejack out of his grasp. It hit Mane with twenty percent more force than before. Unfortunately for Rainbow, Mane was twice as big as last time and three times as heavy. That, and he dug into the ground so he wouldn't fly through a building this time. So he only went and crashed into the side of town hall, knocking it down on top of him.

"Oh yeah, Rainbow for the win!" she said victoriously.

I can't believe that worked.

The pile of debris started shifting until a very pissed agent Mane got angry and obliterated the rubble on top of him with a mighty roar and a spread of his wings.

Oh crap that didn't work.

A dazed Mane stumbled forward.

"Hey Mane, isn't that the mare who put you through a ten story building?

This made him gaze over at Rainbow, who shit a brick when she got a good view of him. Even though he was missing an eye, the amount of hate that he emitted could freeze Tartarus over.

"I thought so, sick 'em.

And he did just that.

Katar and Scootaloo were currently getting all the living ponies to the hospital. Once finished and Scootaloo couldn't help anymore, they took a two minute break.

Katar looked at Scootaloo and said. "I want you to go back to Sunburst's house and guard him."

"No, I have been practicing for a long time and I won't back down now."

"That's not the point, I don't think that Mane came alone. Odds are is that he has a spy and I need you to make sure Trixie can defend Sunburst."

"But-"

"No buts, that is an order. I am in charge right now and need to get back to work. There are ponies that I can help and that's what I'm going to do, not go on a suicide run against that monster."

Scootaloo grumbled a bit before leaving, pissed off that she can't help the others.

Rainbow and Applejack were getting the crap kicked out of them. Despite his enormous stature, Mane moved like he was on the moon.

Applejack made a rush to distract him while Rainbow tackled the bastard. It went down like this: Applejack shuffled up to him. Mane grabbed Applejack by the face and slammed it into the ground. Rainbow let gravity do the hard work and kind of landed on him, not doing anything. So Mane picked her up with his free claw and threw her into the rubble of town hall.

"Is this all they can do? What a bore."

Applejack was unconscious now and Rainbow Dash wasn't in any better condition.

With her last breath, Rainbow said. "I'm sorry I failed." and fell into unconsciousness.

Those are element bearers, kill them.

Mane hated being controlled, but at least he would be getting his revenge. He went for Applejack first, picking her up by her head with his bionic talon and started squeezing. He was about to crush her skull when he got bucked in the side.

If it was from any normal pony of any race, it would've been harmless. But it wasn't. This buck came from a walking tank. A stallion that has been known to topple trees if he isn't to careful. That's right, it came from Big Macintosh.

"Eenope."

"Damage report: three cracked ribs. Be careful engaging him head-on Mane, he can actually do damage to us.

Mane paid no attention to the warning and rushed him. It didn't end well for him.

Big Mac saw this coming and prepared himself for an even stronger kick this time. Mane was to busy being angry to see it and took it head on, sending him flying. This time he crashed through a building. Luckily, all the buildings in this area had been abandoned and nopony was in it.

Mane felt that buck very much so and it pissed him off. He flew out of the building like a bat out of Tartarus and headbutted Big Mac in the head, cracking his skull.

Big Mac went down fast, a side effect of breaking your skull.

Smiling, Mane went for the kill. He was about to rip Mac's head off when the non-mechanical forearm that he was reaching with went dead.

Growling, he turned to face this new attacker. It was a mare with amethyst eyes and alcohol on her breath.

"HER!? That traitor, kill her.

Mane was getting pissed off at the voice in his head, but conceded.

He threw a punch at her, but met nothing but air. The broken ribs he had were suddenly were hit repeatedly. Growling, he swept his arm at Octavia, but hit nothing again.

Unlike Vinyl or most of the others, Octavia still trained every day. It was brutal sometimes. Even though she was out of the job, she still trained so she could still be the best. And she was, at least in Ponyville.

Vinyl was lost, but she did find some crazy-ass plants. So she wondered what it would be like to inhale the burning fumes of  said plant.

In three words- she was high.

Luna was roaming around the palace looking for the ASCA before remembering that Celestia had taken her's to the Griffin Kingdom and that her own personal ASCA was in the shop.

Sighing, she strutted back into the throne room to eat all of her sister's bananas.

Mane got a lucky hit on Octavia, and that's all he needed. He pressed on the attack, scoring hit after hit. While Octavia is fast as fuck on the ground, she can't take a hit very well and was soon slowing down.

He decked her in the face and sent her flying into a building, breaking her spine against the wall.

"Target analysis: a concussion, five major cracks in her skull, all ribs broken, as well as her sternum and her spine in a dozen places. Target neutralized.

Mane smiled to himself before turning around to finish the others. He was going to start with Big Mac when the alarms in his head started ringing.

"High magic concentration detected. Recommend immediate evasion and withdrawal."

The bane of Mane was magic, the technology in his body could overload with enough of it. That would be bad for him.

A beam that would make Lyra's look like a foals trick slapped into him with enough force to send him flying through buildings.

Basschords had just made himself a sandvich and was heading to his bedroom to eat and clop to Luna. He ate that sandvich on the way there and was about to open the door when a beam of purple magic went and obliterated his entire bedroom. His bedroom had said porn stash in it and all of it was of Luna.

When he opened his door, there was nothing there.

"OH COME ON!"

Mane was in a small crater on the outskirts of town. He wasn't in so good of shape anymore.

"Damage report: your fucked up.

A stallion made his way to the pit that he was in. The stallion was a very big unicorn with a white coat and a dark blue mane. His cutie mark was a shield.

"You disgust me. I hope that you will be sent to the deepest pit of Tartarus for what you've done." the stallion said.

"Activating self-destruct sequence. Recommend heading to Tartarus now."

And with that, he blew up.

The blast was extremely powerful, but Shining Armor had put up a shield to contain the blast. It worked, barely. His magic would be suffering for the next few days and it was likely that he would have magic withdrawal. So, like all great heroes, he passed out.

Colgate was mad that all this was happening. Scratch that, she was pissed. All her anger was concentrated at Trixie right now. It seemed like she would never get over it. Of course, something happened to occupy her mind with. In the form of knocking on the door.

She opened the door and saw something completely revolting.
