Aggravated, everyone shouted, “SLAPSTICK!” “Oh, right,” Filli-Second giggled. “So we’re half-way done,” Radiance said. “Hum Drum, darling, who’s next?” “Next is Saddle Rager,” Hum Drum said. “Now, I’m not 100% sure I know where to find her, but there have been some sightings of her in the Rallystone Forest.” “Ooh, and we’re right above it,” Filli-Second said looking out of her plane window. “I’ll be landing now,” Radiance said. The plane landed and all the Power Ponies were on the ground. “Say, Hum Drum,” Zapp asked, “About those sightings… what were they about exactly?” “Let’s just say it’s not pretty,” Hum Drum said. “Let’s just find Saddle Rager before something happens to her.” As they left the scene, they didn’t notice a giant pair of red eyes watching them from the bushes. Anar D laughed while he was tossing the glowing orb with Saddle Rager’s head around. “Oh, this is so much fun,” Anar D said. “Tell me, Saddle Rager, how are you enjoying your new home?” “It’s terrible,” Saddle Rager said. “When are you going to let me go?” “Hmm,” Anar D said. “What’s today?” “Wednesday,” Saddle Rager answered. “Thursday…” Anar D counted, “Friday… NEVER!” “Don’t make me angry, Anar D,” Saddle Rager said. “You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.” “Or what,” Anar D asked, “You’ll sing and send bluebirds to cover me? Ooh, that’s scary… NOT!” “You want to see scary,” Saddle Rager asked. “Just wait until I get big.” “Yeah, you can’t do that now,” Anar D said. “Do you know what that orb you’re in is for? You see, when I encountered you in the Hall of Mirrors, it seemed like I knocked you out. To clear the air, I actually separated you from your monster form. It was your kindness that made your alternate self compassionate and without it, it’s mindless wanting nothing but destruction.” “You let my monster form loose on the world,” Saddle Rager gasped. “How could you?!” “Helloooo,” Anar D said trying to make it sound obvious. “I’m the bad guy. And this is only the beginning. Your friends are getting back together, but when they find your monster body… Well, use your imagination.” He laughed evilly. “Oh, this is taking forever,” Zapp said. “I’d think you of all ponies would wait however long to find Saddle Rager,” Radiance said. “After all, you’ve known her the longest. She’s your best friend.” “I know,” Zapp said, “But still, I wish we’d find her now.” Suddenly, a large figure landed right in front of the Power Ponies. It was Saddle Rager’s monster form. “Saddle Rager,” Filli-Second cheered. “Oh, it’s good to see you, you big lug. How was your month? Let’s get this out of the way. Anar D split us apart and is leading us to our deaths. Thankfully, Hum Drum gathered us up and now, we’re getting the old gang back together. What do you say?” Saddle Rager bent down and roared straight in Filli-Second’s face for ten seconds. When she was done, Filli-Second was covered in monster saliva. “Do I take that as a yes,” Filli-Second asked wiping the monster spit off of her. “I can’t be certain.” “Uh, Filli,” Hum Drum said. “Don’t you think it might be possible that Saddle Rager is stuck as a mindless MONSTER?!” “Whatever’s happening… RUUUUUN,” Radiance shouted. A chase scene happened. The Power Ponies zipped through the forest trees that Saddle Rager kept breaking down. The chase ended with a loud tank shot. A large bullet nearly hit Saddle Rager and she turned and ran. The Power Ponies looked and saw a group of tanks. Out of the front one, a minotaur emerged wearing a military uniform. “General Titanium’s my name,” the minotaur introduced himself. “The Equestrian way is my game.” “What a darling little catchphrase,” Radiance commented blankly. “You must be the Power Ponies,” General Titanium said. “You know about us,” Filli-Second asked. “Are you kidding,” General Titanium shouted. “The whole land is talking about your reunion. So tell me, what are you doing on hunting grounds?” “Hunting,” Zapp asked. “Look, general, I’m sure you’re doing your job with… whatever the reason is that you’re here, but that’s our friend, Saddle Rager, out there. I don’t know how, but an enemy of ours made her out of control.” “Sorry, but I don’t see that thing being Saddle Rager,” General Titanium said. “Besides, that thing has caused several degrees of property damage. So far, there are no life casualties, but we can’t take that risk. We must… take it down.” Suddenly, Filli-Second started dancing. Everyone stared at her with confused looks. Even the background soldiers were weirded out. “Filli-Second, what are you doing,” Hum Drum asked. “Well, the minotaur just told us to break it down,” Filli-Second said, “And you know how much I can dance.” “Not break it down,” General Titanium said smacking his face. “I said, ‘take it down’. You know, get rid of it. Make it sleep with the fishes. Kill it. I can’t be any clearer than that.” “You can’t do that,” Radiance protested. “Of course, I can,” General Titanium said. “All I have to do is give a simple command and the soldiers fire their tanks at it.” “I seriously doubt you can blow up something with invulnerable skin,” Hum Drum said. “The only way to kill it is if you coat your weapons with Flutter radiation, the same energy the monster’s made of. Everyone knows that.” “And now, he does too,” Zapp growled. “Thanks for the tip, kid,” General Titanium said. “Men, you know what to do. Move out!” The soldiers got into their tanks and drove through the trees leaving the Power Ponies behind. “Thanks for the help, genius,” Zapp said smacking Hum Drum upside the head. “You just gave that horned bully the way to kill Saddle Rager.” “I didn’t mean it,” Hum Drum said. “It was just a slip-up.” “Well, we better find Saddle Rager and convince her to change back before they find her first.” Radiance said. “Come on.” Watching the whole scene, Anar D enjoyed seeing what was happening with the Power Ponies. He was eating popcorn while the orb holding Saddle Rager’s head watched also. “Oh, they can’t save you,” Anar D told the head. “They’re going to ruin the show… and the spin-off.” “What spin-off,” Saddle Rager asked. “Once Colonel Mustard takes your monster form out,” Anar D explained, “The you in this orb goes also.” His confident laugh filled Saddle Rager with fear.
