//------------------------------// // Lord Hater!!! // Story: Wander over Yonder (in): The Friendship // by AngelShy24 //------------------------------// (Sylvia) Last time... thanks to some cheap lowlife mechanic that gave us some old, broken down hunk of junk, Wander and I landed on a mysterious planet that was populated mostly by a bunch of pony inhabitants who have tattoos on their butts called Cutiemarks. They seem like pretty good folk and are very friendly; but for some maybe too friendly. We even met one who was considered the kindest pony in Ponyville (which was the name of the town we were in by the way) named Fluttershy. Wander was really glad to meet her and I didn't find her to be too bad myself. But now, Wander and I are focusing on figuring a way off of this planet; not that I didn't enjoy its atmosphere. But pretty soon, the citizens went into panic as Ponyville was suddenly under attack and being invaded by none other than... Lord Hater! Ooooh, that guy is just asking for a butt whooping! ------- Wander and Sylvia looked up in the sky and saw it; a giant skull-shaped spaceship ascending down to the ground. It was their number archenemy Lord Hater. He was now here invading Ponyville probably looking for them since their capture was his number one priority; but it would be no surprise to Sylvia if he decided to conquer this place in the process. "Well how about that,” said Wander with a smirk, "Who would've thought that we would run into him here. Now how do ya suppose he found us here so easily?" Sylvia leered at him and said, "Well... maybe it has something to do with the fact that we're his number one capture priority... and that he just so happens to strangely have some DNA samples from us that he uses to locate us so easily! I mean honestly, you'd think that he would use our DNA to make evil clones of us to destroy us." The giant ship was landing and it floated right over Town Hall. Many ponies were hiding away and some standing nearby curious and scared at the same time of what was invading their town. "Well..." said Wander with a sly tone, "Ah suppose that it would be kinda rude if we don't go to say hello." Sylvia quickly grabbed Wander as he tried to walk off and told him, "Oh no you don't! This is what we're going to do." She then hid herself and Wander into a nearby bush, "We're going to hide in these bushes and see just what he plans to do; and when the time is right, then we'll go say hello... my way." "Are ya sure about this, Sylvia?" Wander wondered. "Of course I'm sure!" Sylvia responded feeling miffed, "No offense to these ponies, but they don't stand a chance against Hater and his troops. If he lays one hand on any of them, I'll punch his lights out!" Wander just smiled at Sylvia and nodded his head, "Mmm-hmm, Ah knew that you'd come to lovin' these ponies." "Don't start," Sylvia groaned. The mouth of the giant ship suddenly open and a long tongue-like ramp rolled out to the ground. Wander and Sylvia then saw Hater's henchmen, The Watchdogs march out in large groups, each possessing their own blaster. The ponies were a little freaked out by their appearance seeing that their heads were all eye. After they all came out and covered their surrounding grounds, the commander of the troops, Commander Peepers came out himself and made an announcement. "Ahem, attention four-legged dwellers; I give you the biggest, baddest and most rocking rad evil being in the universe... Lord Hater!" Another taller figure came creeping out of the ship to the top of the ramp; and then slid down the ramp to the ground bobbing his head and making a weird fork-like shape with his fingers shouting... "Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaah, Lord Hater is in the house!" And many fireworks were firing from his ship to make himself look good. "Nice entrance," stated Wander to Sylvia. Sylvia just rolled her eyes as she continued to watch the scenario. "Greetings, you pathetic pack of weaklings! I am... Lord Hater, the most supreme, evil being in the universe, and I shall soon conquer your puny planet; why, because I can!" Suddenly, the Mayor open the doors of Town Hall and came out and shouted, "What in Celestia's name is causing all of this racket?!" Then she saw all of the Watchdog troops and Hater turn towards her directions with their evil glare. She just stood there for a few seconds in a state of shock and then slowly went back in and shut the door. "Anyway," said Hater, "before I ruin your peace and happiness, I do believe I'm on the lookout for these two individuals." He then rolled out a holographic scroll that showed the picture of the very aliens that crash landed on their planet, "Their names are Wander and Sylvia, and they are my number one priority to capture; and I know that they are here! If you don't surrender them to me, you will be doomed; you do... you will be doomed anyway!" He then then started laughing all evilly along with all of his henchmen who found what he said funny. "Well, that wasn't much of a compromise," said Wander. Sylvia leered at him and said, "You think?" In the middle of his evil laughter, a small rock came out of nowhere and banged up against Hater's helmet. It made his head ring and caught him off guard causing him to fall. After getting back up, he looked all around in slight rage. "Who threw that?! I demand to know of who dared to make a strike at me!" "Ah did," said a young southern voice. Wander and Sylvia both gasped as they saw who it was; it was that little earth filly that they met before named Apple Bloom. She was standing nearby glaring at the evil tyrant and his troops. "We ain't gonna tell you alien freaks anythang, skull face! And don't think yer gonna take our planet that easy either!" "Is that filly out of her florping mind?" Sylvia exclaimed quietly, "She's going to get herself seriously hurt…. or worse!" "Brave little filly, ain't she?" said Wander. "Lord Hater, sir," shouted Peepers, "you're not going to let a little pipsqueak pony like that show you up, are you?!" Hater looked at the filly intensely and growled, "Who do you think you are, little girl?! It seems that you need to be taught an important lesson!" Some lightning began to charge up in his finger, and before he swung to strike at her, a rope came out, wrapped around her and pulled her away from her standing spot soon enough just for the strike to just miss her. Apple Bloom landed right beside her big sister, Applejack who was glaring at her as well; and Apple Bloom smiled nervously while blushing. "Don't just burst out to an unknown enemy like that, sis! What would we do if you got seriously hurt?!" "Sorry, Applejack; Ah just wanted to help... and Ah guess that was a bit foolhardy of me." Sylvia sighed of relief, "Well that was too close; that filly was too brave for her own good." Lord Hater decided to ignore the incident from the young filly for now and decided to carry on with his business, "Now then, before I was rudely interrupted by a minor annoyance, I demand for you all to hand over your planet's leader to me and my troops! The sooner you do that, the less casualties there will be." "I'm afraid you'll be quite disappointed," said a demanding voice, "There isn't any sole ruler of this planet. Although, there are individuals who do rule over the lands." Hater and his troops' attention then turned to a purple pony who approached them with three others standing their ground; and then Applejack joined them a well. "I happened to be the ruler of this town; I'm Twilight Sparkle, and I believe I'm the one you want." "What the... aren't they the same ponies that we met earlier?" Sylvia wondered, "And who is... that purple one?" "Ah don't know," said Wander, "but somethang about that pony that gives me the happy jitters." "Wow, look at all of them," said Pinkie as she was eyeing all of the Watchdog minions, "They all have eyes for heads! That's so funny... and kinda creepy." Lord Hater looked upon who was in front of him and thought that taking over this planet would be easier than he thought. "What do we have here? You're the ruler of this town and they are your little controlled followers?" "We are nothing of the sort, you big ol' brute!" Rarity shouted, "We are Twilight's most trusted and devoted friends! Honestly, someone needs to teach you some manners!" "She seems nice," said Wander looking at Rarity. "A bit of a drama queen if you ask me," Sylvia responded, “You’ve should’ve seen her earlier.” Keeping her gaze at Lord Hater, Twilight instructed, "Look, I don't know who you may think you are or what your business here is, but you're not taking over anything! If I were you, I'd take my little army, hop back into your ship, and leave this place... before you make a grave mistake." Suddenly, Hater and all of his minions got themselves into a fit of laughter not believing a word Twilight said. It obvious to Hater that they were probably just bluffing to try an scare them. "Ha, do you honestly think that a bunch sissy ponies like all of you can stand a chance against me?!" "Let's see you call this little trick sissy!" shouted Rainbow as she rose up in the air. "Rainbow, wait!" shouted Twilight as she tried to stop her. But Rainbow ignored her and dashed down from the sky at blistering speed towards Hater. However, Hater stayed calm and held up his hand right before Rainbow reached him. In result, Rainbow ended up smacked right up against a giant shield that suddenly that surrounded Hater. "Heh, force field," he said with an evil smirk, "gets them every time." Then with the flick of his finger, Hater send Rainbow flying back in an electrical shock and crashed right beside her friends. "Ooh, that's gotta hurt," said Wander as he and Sylvia winced from the rainbow mare's impact on the ground. Commander Peepers rushed up beside Hater and shouted to his troops, "All hail Lord Hater!" and all of them began cheering loudly to praise their leader. "Ready to surrender now, sissies?!" shouted Hater. "Fat chance!" shouted Rainbow Dash as her friends were helping her up off the ground, "We'll never surrender to you, skull face!" "No one is allowed to speak to Hater that way, scum!" shouted Commander Peepers in anger. Rainbow just scoffed, "Whatever you say, peep peeps!" Suddenly, Peepers got a little miffed and shouted, "My name is Peepers, not peep peeps!" "Oh, look at me!" said Pinkie in a teasing tone, "I'm Commander Peepers, and I'm peeping at you being full of yourself!" Suddenly, all of the surrounding ponies started to laugh at Peepers from Pinkie comment. He began shouting and babbling many words while angrily stomping in place. They didn't realize what he was shouting, but maybe it was better that way. Sylvia was cracking up herself finding Peepers' reaction priceless, "Ha ha! Peep peeps, I gotta remember that one." She then turned to Wander's direction to tell him of what she was planning next, "Alright, Wander, here's what we're going to do now. We're gonna..." But unfortunately to her, he wasn't there; he disappeared. "What the... where the heck did he go now?!" She looked all around her but didn't see him anywhere. It seemed that he was acting on his own again. "Oh great, he's going to end up blowing our cover!" "I'll give you one more chance, Lord Hater," Twilight commanded to the evil alien, "Leave right now... and keep your dignity!" "The only ones around here who will lose their dignity," stated Hater, "will be all of you! Peepers!" "Yes sir!" Peepers responded in a salute, "Alright, men... prepare to..." But before he gave a command, Twilight's friends suddenly saw a familiar creature zip up to her. Everything came to a sudden halt as they all saw him getting excited and shouting out loud. "Oh my gosh, mah mind is blown! Look at ya, you have wings and a horn!" Twilight looked at the creature with an arched eye as he he zipping all around her. "Yer a... a... Unigas! No, wait... a... Pegacorn! No, hold on... it's on the tip of mah tongue..." "I'm an Alicorn," corrected Twilight. Wander pondered on the pronunciation of the word for a second, then he smiled and said, "Oh... okay, an Alicorn; let's go with that!" "Oh my gosh, Twilight," shouted Pinkie, "It's him; the cute looking little alien that crash-landed here!" Twilight looked back at Wander and was amazed at just how unusual he appeared to be... aside from the other group of visitors. "So you're Wander," she said to him, "You really are a unique species of alien. But... where is the other one that is supposed to be with you?" "Sylvia?" said Wander, "Oh, ya know; she's... around." "Sir, are you seeing this!?" shouted Peepers, ""It's him, it's Wander! But... I don't see the other one!" "Worry about that later," Hater commanded, "get Wander now!" Many of the Watchdogs aimed their zappers at Wander and set them to stun. But before they could shoot, Twilight suddenly ignited her magic and brought up a shield in front of them. The Watchdogs went on ahead and fired their zappers, but all shots were easily repelled off from the shield; they were nothing to Twilight. "What?!" Peepers exclaimed. Sylvia, who was still hiding in some nearby bushes sighed with relief and was prepared to sneak off to plan a sabotage plan herself, "Well, Wander... I guess I'll make an opportunity from your... excitement." Meanwhile... Wander was staring dazedly at Twilight's shield and was blown away at how effective it was, "Wow that was cool; super cool!" He then looked over at Hater and waved, "Hey there, Hater; tryin’ to take over another planet Ah see! Ya know, ever thought of havin' a different hobby, like bowlin’, or skydivin', or watchin’ TV, or be a doctor, or maybe even knittin’! Or... ya know what, maybe even..." "ENOUGH!!!" Hater shouted in rage, feeling irritated from Wander's constant babbling, "I only have one hobby and one hobby alone; to be the most awesome, super, ultra, powerful, evil being in the entire UNIVERSE!!!" Everyone was blown away by Hater's response... especially of how long and elaborated his claimed so to be title was. "Ah know all that," said Wander, "just tryin’ to suggest a few alternatives; Ah'm just sayin'. Oh oh, maybe you can be... a dancer; Ah just love dancin'!" "Wow, he's such a chatterbox," said Rarity. "And he's so full of energy," Applejack chuckled. "I know," said Pinkie, "Do we know anypony like that?!" Twilight scooted Wander back with her hoof as she smirked and told him, "You might want to step back, Wander. Things are about to get a bit ugly around here." "Ah say 'a bit awesome' is more like it." Applejack suddenly went over to Rainbow Dash and asked her, "Hey, Rainbow, have you seen Fluttershy; she's not here yet." "I don't know," Rainbow responded, "I couldn't find her anywhere; but I thought that she would've shown up by now." Twilight decided to give Hater one more warning before they all took action. She stared him down with her wings up and horn glowing, "Leave this planet... now! If you don't, we won't hold back with our power!" "Um... Twilight..." Rainbow tried to say. But she was cut off by more of Hater's evil laughter, "Ooh, I'm so scared; really I am. But even so, I'm afraid that you won't dare to attack me!" "Oh really?" said Twilight sarcastically, "Please, do tell us why we wouldn't?" "Because I have... a Hostage!" Suddenly, Twilight and her friends were at a stand-still. "What?" "Bring out... the prisoner!" Hater commanded. They all watched as a shadowed figure was being led out of the ship's opening and by a few more of Hater's Watchdog troops with weapons in hand; a figure most familiar. But they all gasped upon seeing it who it was being held against their will. "FLUTTERSHY!!!" "So that's what happened to her," Rainbow Dash groaned. Fluttershy looked down at her friends in the crowd as she was led down the ramp and to Hater. She blushed as she nervously smiled and waved, "H-h-h-hey girls." "Oh no, this is bad," Twilight thought to herself. "Hey there, Miss Shy!" shouted Wander as he waved back at her, "Ah see you've met Hater; ain't he a hoot!?" "Y-y-y-you could say that," Fluttershy responded. Lord Hater felt very good about himself. He had a feeling that capturing this pony was going to help him in some way. He laughed evil again and started to gloat in their faces. "I just saw this pony flying right in my pathway and figured I would hold her hostage in case she was important in anyway. But how could she, I wondered to myself; she’s too shy and timid." "That's for sure," said Peepers. "But judging by the looks on all of your pitiful faces, I'm guessing that she really is important! How lucky am I?!" "Well this can't be good," said Wander. "Now then, let us try this again, shall we. You will surrender yourself to me and proclaim me as your new leader. And if you try to attack me or resist in anyway, I will destroy your precious friend right where she stands!" Sylvia snuck her way to the top of Hater's ship and was right above him ready to take him by surprise. But as she saw what was happening, she growled knowing that doing anything would risk Fluttershy's life. "Why that no good low life," she said to herself, "This is a whole new low, even for a powerful, planet conquering, evil tyrant like him." "Now that just playing dirty, ya evil tyrant!" shouted Applejack, "Anyone who holds a hostage in this kind of situation is nothin' but a coward... in which you are bein'!" "Well I'm afraid that fact really doesn’t matter me,” Hater responded, “Hello, I'm evil; I don't play fair! And if you don't like it, then tough cookies!" Pinkie was then jumping up and down and suggested, "Ooh, cookies; we'll give you cookies if that's what you want!" "I don't think he meant it that way, Pinkie Pie," said Rarity. Fluttershy felt like she was the reason none of her friends weren’t able to lift a hoof against this strange alien and his army; they cared about her safety too much. She looked down at them slightly tearing and said, "I'm so sorry, everypony; I didn't mean for any of this to happen! Just do what you have to do, I'll be fine!" "Forget that, Fluttershy,” shouted Fluttershy, “this isn't your fault!" "This guy is just being a selfish, evil jerk who will do anything to get what he wants!" Rainbow Dash added. "Ya darn right I am!” Hater growled, “So... will you all come quietly, or do I have to make an example out of your friend here?!" Fluttershy whimpered a bit as she saw Hater pointing at her with electricity running through his fingers, "Oh dear." "What do we do now, Twilight?" whispered Applejack. "I'm thinking, I'm thinking." Wander was there with them wondering what they were going to do to rescue Fluttershy. But just then, he looked up and noticed Sylvia looking at him from the top of Hater’s ship. Sylvia made some kind of movement with her hands and then winked while giving him a thumbs up. Wander realized what she wanted to do and smiled as he winked back at her. While they were all wondering what to do about their situation, Twilight suddenly saw Wander as he stepped forward and went past her shield. "Um... Wander, what are you doing?” she asked in concern, “You're not safe outside my shield." "Not to worry, Miss Twilight, Ah got this all under control." The rest of her friends were wondering what he doing too; but knowing that he dealt with Hater before, they figured that he had something planned. When he was close enough, all Watchdog troops blocked his path and Peepers came in front of him pointing his laser at Wander’s head, "Halt right there!" Wander just calmly smiled and pushed the laser to the side and said, "No need fer senseless violence, fella, Ah'm turnin' mahself in!" "He's what?!" Twilight and all of her friends said at once. "What the hay is he thinkin'?!” said Applejack, “This ain't gonna end well." Twilight nervously shrugged and said, "M-maybe... he knows what he's doing... I hope." Wander went past the troops and up the ship’s ramp until he finally reached Hater who had a huge grin on his face. Wander looked up at him and tip his hat as he said, "What's up, Hater; here Ah am and in yer custody." Hater laughed feeling great about capturing Wander, and he knew that Sylvia would be at his mercy soon enough. He looked down at the crowd as he gloated, "Ha, well that was easy. It seems that even Wander, the little alien annoyance that has avoided me many, many times has finally realized when he is beaten!" "Indeed Ah do,” Wander seemed to agree, “but Ah only did because… Ah figured that we could work out a deal." "Oh this oughta be good," Peepers said sarcastically. "These ponies, they've done nothin’ to you, and Miss Fluttershy did nothiin’ to you either. Ah am the one ya want; so here's the deal. You let these ponies off the hook and let Miss Fluttershy go, and Ah'll tell ya where Sylvia is and you can have us both in your custody. Then we can leave this planet and pretend that none of this never happened. So what do ya say?" Was Hater going to agree to his deal? Was he fine with it? Was this really going to work? These questions went through many of the pony’s thoughts as they were waiting for an answer. Unfortunately, Hater just chuckled to himself and said… "How about this; I capture both you and Sylvia and I still take over this stinking planet! How about that?!" "Rude," Rainbow scoffed. "I know,” Pinkie agreed, “and he tried to ask nicely too." Wander just scratched his head as he tried to offer his deal again, "Um... maybe Ah didn't speak clearly enough. Just let them go; Sylvia and Ah are the ones you want, not them. Why not be a little more merciful and let them all be; they have nothin’ to do with this." "Who do you think you’re fooling,” said Hater, “You’re probably planning some sort of trick, so you can just forget it! I have you right where I want you, and I will take this planet whether you like it or not!" Suddenly, Wander lowered head and tipped his hat over his face; and then he spoke back in a more darker and serious tone, "Just listen to yerself, Hater; Ah tried to be nice and go along with my capture quietly, but yer just not listening." Everyone noticed of how different Wander was acting; mainly Fluttershy, who was right there and saw it with her own eyes, "Uh... what's going on?" "The little fella is suddenly sounding a little serious,” said Applejack, “What do you think he's planning?" Twilight wondered as well; she thought that maybe it was a way to psych Hater out. Wander suddenly looked back up at Hater sporting a serious expression, "Now... Ah'll ask ya one more time, Hater. Leave... Fluttershy... and the ponies... alone... or else... there will be big trouble." But Hater still wasn’t being phased by Wander’s strange behavior as he responded in rage, "Well obviously you missed the part of my speech when I said that I... was... EVIL!!! I am evil and nothing but evil! I do nothing nice and show no mercy to anyone! I will do what I want, wherever I want, whenever I want! I will do what I wish and take deals from no one... especially you!" Hater was right in Wander’s face on his last comment and Wander continued to stare at him for a few seconds. But then, his usual smile came back on his face and then he just shrugged as he said, "Okay, suit yerself. Ah guess Ah did all Ah could do." Fluttershy gasped and all of her friends’ jaws dropped seeing what just happened; after all of that, Wander was just giving up. "That's it; that's all he was going to do?!” shouted Rainbow Dash Are you kidding me?!" "Well... I guess I could've been wrong about him... knowing what to do,” said Twilight regrettably, “perfect." "Nice try anyway, Wander," said Fluttershy nervously with a slight smile. "Just doin' my duty, mam." Hater now felt that victory was finally at hand for him, "Now that that's out of the way, it's time for me to continue what I do best! There are going to be some big changes around he..." But then out of nowhere before he could react, Wander’s friend, Sylvia came dropping down from above and pounce right on top of Hater. Hater’s speech was muffled and Fluttershy screamed out loud from Sylvia’s sudden appearance. "Coming my way?!" Sylvia shouted as she suddenly scooped up Fluttershy and Wander and leapt off and away from Hater and towards the crowd. While Fluttershy covered her eyes, Wander waved his hands up in the air enjoying the minor ride "Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeha!" "Oh my goodness!" Fluttershy shuddered. When Hater realized what happened, he shouted, "Why you little... oof!" But then he was knocked down by Rainbow Dash who bashed into him, "Ha; that was for the force field!" After Sylvia landed in front of Fluttershy’s friends Wander hopped off, but Fluttershy was still covering her eyes and shaking from the fast rescue. Sylvia rolled her eyes and said, "You can cover your eyes now, Fluttershy." Fluttershy slowly uncovered her eyes realizing that she was away from danger, "What the... I'm safe?" "That was awesome, Sylvia!” shouted Wander in excitement, “Ah'm sure glad Ah thought of that plan." "You moron,” said Sylvia chuckling, “you jumped the gun and you know it; and for what, an... Alicorn pony?" "Yeah, mah bad." Twilight and all of her friends suddenly came over to the alien duo feeling amazed at what they did. "Hey, that was so awesome!" shouted Pinkie. "Hey, Ah said the exact same thang!" Wander responded. "I know, but I couldn't help myself!" Twilight went up to Sylvia to thank her for what she did for them and asked, "You planned that all along, didn't you?" "Well... not exactly, but it still worked out well, didn't it? Ha, that Lord Hater didn't even see it coming!" "Well... thanks so much for saving our friend; you did a major feat today." "Eh, I've done bigger." The Watchdog troops were checking to see how their boss was doing; mainly Commander Peepers, "Lord Hater, sir; please say something, anything!" "What's yer Lord goin’ to do now that he has no hostage?!” shouted Applejack, “Ah'm afraid that victory is as good as ours." Peepers suddenly felt Hater’s body start to shake. He began to freak out realizing what was about to happen, "Oh no, stand back men, Lord Hater is going to blow!" Hater was growling; he was huffing and puffing in anger. His voice, lowly bellowing saying, "How dare you... how dare you... humiliate me like that!" He jumped to his feet and his body was engulfed in fire from his angered rage. "Whoa, someone has temper issues," said Rarity. "He usually does,” Sylvia responded, “nothing new here." Hater glared down at all of them and shouted, "I gave you all a chance to surrender quietly, but now... you shall all pay the price!" "Uh-oh, Ah think we might've made him a bit mad," said Wander. Hater raised up both of his hands and a huge electricity current were coursing through them, forming a giant meteor ball that slowly was becoming bigger over time. "Perhaps this will set an example to many other puny creatures on this planet to never cross... Lord Hater!" All of the ponies looked up at it in horror; and while some ran away from it, some couldn’t move because they were frozen with fear. However, Twilight and her friends weren’t moved at all. "This is bad,” Sylvia panicked, “Everyone, run away as fast as you can or you'll all be destroyed!" Wander wasn’t quite sure what they were going to do and also feared of what would become of this town. But then suddenly, he and Sylvia saw a little green dragon run up to Twilight carrying a wooden case. "Hey, Twilight, I go here as soon as I could and..." The dragon then looked up and notice the giant, growing electric ball that was floating under an evil-looking guy hands, "Um, could anyone please explain the giant electrical ball of doom growing over us?" "We don't have time for that, Spike,” said Twilight, “Did you get them?" Spike bowed down on one knee and opened the case revealing its contents, "As you requested, m'lady." Wander and Sylvia saw as Twilight lifted 6 jewel-like necklaces out of the box with her magic and placed them around her friends’ necks. They also noticed that all had shapes that were the same as their cutiemarks. "Alright, girls,” said Twilight, “it’s time for us to strike back and send this jerk and his troops packing!" "What the heck are those things,” said Sylvia, “and how are they going to stop Hater?!" Wander was bedazzled by their bright shine and was itching to reach out for them, "They're all so shiny! Can Ah touch em' when you're done?!" "These are Equestria's strongest items of defense,” explained Twilight, “the Elements of Harmony! Just stand back and be amazed." Twilight and her friends came together, focused their energies with each other, and then their elements began to glow ever so brightly. The light surrounded their bodies and their eyes filled with the power’s brilliance. This was nothing new to see to those in Ponyville or anyone in Equestria; but for Wander and Sylvia, they stood back and watched feeling shocked and stunned about these ponies’ power. "Whoa, amazing,” said Sylvia, “I don't know what's going on but it looks good!" "Ah can't contain my excitement!” shouted Wander, “It's so dazzling, Ah think Ah'm gonna wet mahself!" "Please don't." As Hater continued to enlarge his attack, Peepers saw what Twilight and the others were doing, "They're planning something sir; look!" But apparently, Hater didn’t seem to worry at all, "Anything you do now is futile! You will all perish for crossing me and my power!" Then with that, he released his attack towards the town; but Twilight and the others were ready. "Don't hold back, girls! Strike now!" Twilight and her friends unleashed their power at Hater, and it clashed against his. They pushed with all of their might, ad at first they seemed to struggle a bit. "Whoa, he is pretty strong, Twilight!" said Applejack. However, Twilight had faith in her friends’ strength, "That doesn't matter, we will burst through!" The Watchdogs constantly cheered on for their boss to be victorious, "Go Hater, go Hater, go Hater, go Hater!" But unfortunately for Hater… he suddenly started to feel his power dwindle against the Elements of Harmony, "How is this happening? My power can't be held back by a bunch of pansy ponies!" Twilight and her friends didn’t back down from protecting their home. Twilight then made one last piece of advice to Hater, "Get this, Lord Hater; we've faced many monsters, enemies and powerful villains.” She then flashed a grin, “But out of all of them, you are by far... the weakest!" Hater was shocked, "What!?" Hater’s attack was then shattered, and the rainbow-colored beam was headed right towards Hater and he was so stunned he couldn’t do anything to stop what was coming, "Ah, this can't be happening!" Hater was then ricocheted into the endless sky by the giant rainbow beam; and he went soaring all the way into space… and out of Ponyville’s sight. Wander looked up in Hater’s direction and waved while shouting, “Later, Hater!” “Oh no, Lord Hater!” Commander Peepers shouted in agony. After they powered down from the elements, Rainbow Dash looped in the air and shouted, “And that’s how you get rid of a bad guy… Ponyville style!” And she went by all of her friends giving them a high hoof. “That was… unreal,” said Sylvia as she was still standing there in awe of what she just witnessed. Meanwhile, Peepers was reaching out to the heavens crying out, “No, Lord Hater; come back; siiiiir!” But then he and all of the Watchdogs gasped and stepped back as they saw the ones who defeated Hater step towards them. “Well, Mister Peepers,” said Twilight, “I suggest that you and these troops go after your boss and never come back to this planet!” Rainbow Dash then grinned and pounded her fore hooves together, “That is unless… you all wish to have the same treatment!” “Ahh, no no no, no need for that!” said Peepers in panic feeling scared for his life, “That is not necessary. Retreat, men; retreeeeeeeeeeat!!!” Peepers and all of his troops quickly rushed into the ship and quickly ran away with no desire to turn back. With them now gone, Ponyville rejoiced in being safe once again. Twilight celebrated themselves with each other in successfully saving the day once again; and Spike was there with them too. “Well what do you know,” said Sylvia finally being blow out of her mind, “They actually defeated Hater. Huh, how about that.” “Sooooo,” said Wander as he elbowed her and slyly grinned, “still think that they weren’t capable of defendin’ themselves?” Sylvia just smiled and chuckled, “Okay okay, you’re right, Wander. Obviously, they’re stronger than I thought them to be. They might just be ponies, but it’s obvious that they didn’t need us to defend them.” “Ain’t that the truth,” Wander responded. Wander and Sylvia knew that they traveled to many planets with many unusual discoveries. But now… this planet was by far unlike anything they’ve ever witnessed. “So… want to ask them more about the tattoos on their butts?” Wander asked Sylvia while chuckling, “Maybe we can get you a fake one as a parting gift!” “I think I’ll pass,” Sylvia groaned, “These ponies are alright, but I’ll be dead before you catch me with a tattoo on my butt.”
