//------------------------------// // Jax and Faora's Escape // Story: Supermare: the Mare of Tomorrow // by cornholio4 //------------------------------// Snips and Snails continued marvelling at the black object that they have found. “What do you think this is?” Snips wondered curiously. “Maybe some sort of black music player.” said Snails circling the device with great eagerness. They then started circling it with eagerness, excitement and curiosity one would expect from a child. “Let’s see if we can make it work.” Snips said and they began throwing magical spells at the device, for minutes it seemed like nothing had happened until they must have done something right before the device started moving around and making noises. Snips and Snails waited patiently and excitedly and were thrown back a bit, as the device let out what seemed to be a black hole in the air. Out came two earth pony adults as the portal disappeared and the device stopped moving and making sounds. Seconds later the machine having exhausted its power broke apart, never to be operational again. After the fireworks Snips and Snails got a good look at the two ponies in questioned and they had looks of awe in their faces. There was a huge stallion with a dark red fur and his black mane and tail were big, bushy and messy. The stallion looked like he was about bigger than even Big Macintosh. His Cutie Mark was some strange alien symbol and he was wearing black goggles with light green lenses. He had a look on his face which made him look like the type of serious military ponies that commanded respect just by looking at you. The other pony was a mare that was slim and thin, she had a lime green fur with an orange mane and tail. She had light green eyes and freckles beside her eyes. Her Cutie Mark was some black and silver symbol. The ponies looked around them and l they looked like they had never seen a forest before. The mare looked fearful and nervous, she then faced the stallion and said in a soft yet commanding voice “Jax this doesn’t look or feel like Coltron, do you think our theory of Coltron being destroyed was true?” “It seems so Faora, my dear.” The stallion called Jax said to the mare named Faora using a booming voice that a military commander would use to command obedience from his troops “since our imprisonment Coltron has met it’s end, pity I had not succeeded in our crusade: I would have found a way to save our planet!” Snips and Snails then had their eyes widened in shock and disbelief as they started floating in the air. Faora’s eyes glowed dark red and then fired at a rock destroying it. “It seems this planet has the same low gravity as the Phantom Zone did as well as the same type of Sun has the one we found in the Zone.” Jax said as they heard a bear approaching. Snips and Snails then held onto eachother in terror but then Jax flew to the bear and hit it with several punches to the head. Jax then used his heat vision force the bear to its knees, kneeling before him before he delivered the punch that knocked the bear out. Jax then went to the unconscious bear and put his hooves around the bear’s head, intending to snap his neck when Faora pulled him off saying with a gentle tone “You have already bested him Jax, there is no need to kill it!” Jax sneered in response but complied with Faora’s wishes letting the creature go. Jax looked around and noticed Snips and Snails were still there, in a corner of a tree and each of them was cowering into a ball, full of fear for their lives. “YOU!” Jax shouted pointing his hoove at the cowering unicorn duo “did you release us and if so what land is this?” “We.....did.........it’s called..........Equestria.......” Snips managed to say despite how terrified he was of the pony who seemed to have powers like Supermare and forced a bear to kneel before it. “BEGONE!!!!” Jax commanded with his booming voice which caused the two young unicorns to run away from the forest. “Must you have scared them so, my love.” Faora asked with a disappointed look on her face which didn’t faze Jax at all, at least he didn’t show it in his face if he was fazed. “Let’s just go my dear Faora.” Jax then said as he started to float in the air again “let’s explore this ‘Equestria’ and seen how it can be of use to us!” Faora nodded as she too went up in the air and they both then flew out of the forest, to see what this planet had to offer them. *Break* Filthy Rich smiled as he sat in his manor, sitting on his personal expensive lounge chair listening to a servant saying his assassin Metallo has engaged Supermare and it would not be long before his little problem was now permanently dealt with. Of course in the chance that Supermare survives her counter and defeats his assassin he always had plenty of back up plans. If one of his plans doesn’t go right for him he will use one of his back up plans and at least one of them will succeed. He had a top secret cabinet full of Coltronite rocks he could use, other than the usual glowing Green rocks he also had red and gold rocks. As long as he had them in his possession he had no doubt one day he will destroy Supermare. Then one of his servants came in and told him “Mr Filthy Rich, your daughter has come home from school!” Filthy Rich let himself forget about Supermare for a second and told him “send her in.” Filthy Rich gave a stern look as he saw his daughter Diamond Tiara enter the living room, he knew he had to teach her to keep her less than polite thoughts to herself if she was going to be a good heir to his business and fortune. Keeping with the look he asked “so Diamond Tiara, have you been behaving yourself?” “Yes daddy......” Diamond Tiara muttered not looking too pleased as she was walking around in a circle “I still don’t see why I have to be nice to those blank flanks.....” “That is exactly the attitude you need to drop for good if you are going to get anywhere, young mare!” Filthy Rich shouted with Diamond Tiara looking scared “You can’t go throwing insults and rude remarks to those who you don’t like.” “But daddy why should I tolerate being around those lesser Blank Flanks?” Diamond Tiara whined, after seeing the look on her father’s face darken she realised too late that was exactly the wrong thing to say in the conversation. “I don’t care if you don’t like them, just try and tolerate and be polite to him!” Filthy Rich said his voice rising a little “I have had to deal business with ponies I never liked at all! If you keep being mean and bullying other ponies including potential future clients like that Applebloom!” He then got off his chair and went closer to his daughter saying “If you insult a pony you are doing business with in real life not only do you lose a client but other clients will not be wanting to do business with you! It leads to you losing money if your business fails and having to sleep like a poor pony!” Diamond Tiara looked in horror to that statement, after she had managed to find her voice she whimpered out “I’m sorry daddy......I will try and be nicer to them if I don’t like them!” “That’s my filly.” Filthy Rich said in a softer calmer voice and with a smile on his face. He then pointed to the door and said “now can you please run off now, daddy has some important work to do!” “Okay Daddy!” Diamond Tiara said with a smile as she skipped out of the house, on the way to her room up the long plight of stairs in the huge mansion. Filthy Rich shook his head as he watched his daughter leave the room, sooner or later his daughter had to learn how to act if she was going to succeed in the business world. “Now where was I?” Filthy Rich pondered as he sat back onto his lounge chair and began thinking after putting his hoove to his chin. After a minute of being deep in thought he realised what he was thinking about before his daughter came home: The future demise of his number one pest: Supermare. *Break* Metallo with his hooves picked up several fruit stands and began throwing them at Applejack but she managed to use her heat vision to destroy them. Metallo threw another one at Applejack as she was flying to him but she managed to destroy it with a punch of her hooves before it connected. Metallo sent a blast of Coltronite powered ray at Applejack sending her to the ground. Applejack managed to get up and ran at Metallo only for him to punch her with his hoove and send her flying again with another Coltronite powered blast. Applebloom, Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle had arrived and watched in shock and horror looking at the beaten looking Supermare trying to defeat her metal foe. Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle looked bad seeing a respected hero in Ponyville being beaten down by a bad guy, Applebloom however looked and felt worse knowing that it was her sister being beaten. Metallo looked at his opponent who looked like she was run over by a train, began laughing manically and laughing and said in a gloating tone of voice to his foe “You have had a new time helping ponies in Ponyville and stopping what you see as criminals Supermare. But now it is the time for Ponyville to starting planning your funeral! I will see you again one day in Tartarus Supermare but until then goodbye..........” Metallo then felt himself kicked in the back by a large hoove, the kick was strong that it pushed his Coltronite heart out of his back. Applejack got up and decided to use the chance to use her heat vision to destroy the rock and vaporise into dust. Metallo then looked around in anger trying to see who dared to mess with his kill of Supermare, he along with Applejack and the ponies in the crowd looked in awe at Jax and Faora who were floating in the air like Supermare. “You are so dead like you stupid flying ponies!” Metallo roared in rage only for Jax to swoop down and punch him several times. In his metal face which left holes in the fur costume he was wearing. “Hold your tongue cyborg or android, whatever you may be!” Jax said to Jax’s ear as he allowed Faora to keep punching at Metallo until he was begging for mercy. Applejack along with the civilians (including the three fillies that made up the Cutie Mark Crusaders) looked in awe at the two ponies that seemed to have Supermare’s powers. A colt in the crowd managed to ask the question everypony there was wanting to ask “who are you two?” Jax looked around the civilians, his face showing signs of arrogance as if he was a pharaoh in front of subjects unworthy of even being in his prescience. “I am General Jax-Ek and this is my wife and second in command private Faora-Ek.” Jax said pointing to Faora at his left side who gave a slight bow to the pones around them “I was the supreme commander of the military forces of the long dead great civilisation known as the planet Coltron!” Applejack and Applebloom had their jaws drop to the floor, did these ponies come from the same plane they had been born on? Jax and Faora both gasped in shock as they looked at Applejack and recognised the logo on her costume. A second later Jax took Applejack’s collar and her back was now facing a wall. “Who are you and why are you wearing the crest of the House of El?” Jax demanded as his wife was beside him to make sure he did not do something that he could regret. Applejack was not sure what was Jax’s problems and why he seemed so freak out about the crest on her costume. “I am wearing this crest as it came from mah birth family.” Applejack said glaring at the face of the stallion that had her pretty much at his mercy at the second “Here on Equestria they call me Supermare but I was born Ap-El daughter of Jor-El!” Jax and Faora both shared the same shocked looks of disbelief as Jax let go off Applejack’s collar. “Did you say you that you are the daughter of Jor-El?” Jax asked wondering just how many years he and Faora were trapped in the Phantom Zone. “I did.” Applejack said wondering if these ponies knew her birth father on Coltron “why?” Faora began taking a closer look at Applejack’s face and whispered out in a soft voice “oh my........she looks just like Lara!” Applejack looked only at the two ponies and asked “okay did you know my birth family.” “Ap-El....“ Jax said softly looking at Applejack looking at her and showing emotion despite his eyes hidden behind his goggles “your father was one of the best and closest friends that I have ever had!” Applejack looked stunned and as she turned she saw Applebloom running home after hearing that to the confused looks on the faces of Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. “Okay see you again soon........I guess...........” Applejack said to Jax and Faora, as she flew back home. Applejack’s mind was still trying to process this and decided that on answers about Jax and Faora she had best ask the hologram of her birth pa. *Break* Servants of Filthy Rich had managed to retrieve Metallo and bring him back to meet Filthy Rich, Metallo still able to function despite losing his Coltronite Heart. “So not only did you fail to kill Supermare despite having her practically at your mercy.” Filthy Rich asked glaring coldly at Metallo “But you managed to lose the Coltronite Heart that I gave you which was destroyed by that heat ray from Supermare’s eye?” Metallo did not speak, not wanting to admit defeat but stammered furiously when Filthy Rich shouted “give me one good reason why I should not just send you to the scrap heap?” “It was not my fault!” Metallo shouted trying to defend himself “I had her in my grasp when from behind came two ponies that apparently came from the planet Supermare comes from!” “Really?” Filthy Rich asked his tone and emotion going form anger to curiosity “tell me more...”
