Gilda and Scootaloo looked on at the soliders that surrounded the Namarekians, two of them holding 4 Dragon Balls.
"THOSE THINGS ARE HUGE!" Gilda yelled upon seeing the Dragon Balls then quickly ducked with Scootaloo as the Insecticon looked at the ridge they were on. "uh...QUACK!" She shouted prompting the Insecticon to look back at the villagers. "Never mind, just a space duck." Hardshell said before he turned back to the Namarekian Elder who took a step forward.
"My name is Twilight Sparkle, I am the elder of this village, why are you here?" She asked.
"I am Lord Tirek, My soldiers around me and I are a traveling improv group. Here's a taste: High Heel is a drunken sailor, and you're all a bunch of baby seals. Begin." High Heel then vanished before killing 3 of them easily before appearing by Tirek's side again.
"And scene. Excellent work High Heel. Why didn't you join him in the fun Hardshell?" Tirek asked him.
"Sorry, just listening to the space duck." Hardshell replied before listening to Gilda's quacks. "What a majestic creature"
"What do you want, why are you attacking our home?" Twilight demanded to know.
"Well I just happened to see your planet and though it would make a delightful base to live in and what the b*ck do you think I'm here for?" Tirek deadpanned.
Twilight simply sighed. "The only thing you could possibly have of value here is our Dragon Balls."
"Excellent, certainly brighter then the last one. You see, your Dragon Balls give me the only thing I wish to possess since I have everything: Immortality, so I can preserve my title as ruler of the universe."
"Well just what makes you think I'll just fetch it and hand it to you on a silver platter like so many things in your cruel life have been."
"You see that's just it, my men outnumber your entire village, so you're in no position to order us around."
Suddenly, 3 Namarekains popped out of nowhere, a bright yellow one with blue hair, a pink one with yellow hair, and one leading them with a dark yellow coat and cruelan hair. "Nor are you to be attacking us." The lead one said.
"Oh look more baby seals." Tirek said nonchalantly.
"We've come here to stop you"
"777" Tirek noted.
"We refuse to stand by as you slaughter our race."
"626"
"I...What're you doing?" The Namarekian asked confused.
"Oh don't mind me continue."
"Anyway, you're going to feel as helpless as those you've killed."
"628."
"Seriosuly, what're you doing?"
"Oh sorry, it's just I've heard so many heroic speeches, I've made a game on which phrases I've heard."
"Y-You insane bastard!"
"1,996."
"Really? Well I'm...gonna...B*CK YOUR FACE!"
Tirek gasped before smirking. "8."
The three Namarekians then charged at them yelling while Tirek simply looked to Hardshell. "Hardshell, if you would."
"Get 'em." Hardshell simply commanded to the soldiers who then charged at the Namarekians, who proved much stronger then them as they easily took out a few of them.
"Gilda, we have to help them." Scootaloo said as she and Gilda watched the battle.
"No we need to stick to the plan. QUACK!" Gilda said shouted the last word over the horizon.
"What plan? you just keep quacking."
"And we're still alive. QUACK!"

Rainbow Dash approached Thunderlane's house riding on top of Derpus. Thunderlane called Cadenza's house a while ago saying that their ship was destroyed and there are a bunch of guys on the planet as strong as Lightning Dust, lead by a guy who's even stronger then all of them. After Lyra came by with a bag of senzu beans, Rainbow ate one then headed for Thunderlane's house as she told her mother weeks earlier to build a ship for her so she could head to Namarek to help them.
She flew off of Derpus and landed near the backyard, seeing a large spaceship in the back and Thunderlane's mother walking out of it. She had a yellow coat with a mane of yellow and red, and a cutie mark resembling a firey star. "Hey Sunset." Rainbow said as she walked over prompting Sunset to turn around.
"Hey Rainbow, how ya doin?"
"Finished healing, came over to see the progress on the ship."
"Just about finished, I considered installing a cappuccino machine be then I remembered you don't drink them. Plenty of food stored away though."
"Sweet, so it's trainable in there?"
"Yep, and you should get to Namarek within a day or two, especially since I used your pod for this thing."
"Like the one Lightning Dust had? But I never used one."
"The one when your grandma found you as a foal, I went to your old house to search for it after Thunderlane told me to start working on it when he left."
"Perfect, hopefully the girls are doing fine without me." Rainbow noted as she walked in ready to go.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last of the Tirek Soldiers finally died as the Namarekians stood there panting.
"Let me deal with them Lord Tirek, I'll avenge your men." High Heel said stepping up.
"Do it but not in their name, we have more of them on the ships, it's not like we're losing anything valuable." Tirek noted before the lead Namarekian shot a small Ki blast at Hardshell's scouter.
"Let's see you look for more of use without that!" She yelled.
Tirek looked as though he was about to lose it and yell before simply smiling. "I'm not gonna lose my temper, I have soldiers to do that for me. Hardshell, kill them."
" 'Kay." Hardshell replied before walking up to them. "Bring it on, you're outnumbered 3 to 1." The lead Namarekian taunted.
"Either you can't count or it's me, cause I see 2." Hardshell said before vanishing and reappearing right behind the lead one and shoving his right arm through her throat to the horror of the other two.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Rainbow Dash simply sat in the ship as it rocketed through space, bored out of her mind until she recieved a call on the screen from Sunset. "Hey Rainbow Dash, how ya doing?"
"Bored." Rainbow replied as she munched on a chocolate chip muffin.
"Dash where die you get that muffin?"
"Muffin button."
"But...there's no muffin button on the ship."
"Then where did I get this muffin?" Rainbow said looking at the muffin confused.
"Ok just checking up on you. I also installed controls in there so you can control the gravity in there. but don't go too high, because I'm not gonna have fun explaining to Thunderlane that his backup is a bile of Gi and squished saiyan." sunset then hung up to which Rainbow mischievously smiled. "This is gonna be so much fun."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardshell drove the last Namarekian warrior into the wall head first killing her. "Wow. Lord Tirek, I think I'm gonna need some math lessons, because I'm counting dead now."
Tirek then looked back to Twilight. "Excellent, all though now I consider it a shame since I no longer have anything to...persuade you with. Save for..." Tirek then looked behind Twilight and saw the two fillies hiding behind her. she gasped before opening her wings defensively. "You wouldn't."
"But they're just so cute I could reduce them to their skeletal system. All though that choice is yours, I could go either way."
"I could if you like." High Heel added.
Twilight huffed before she used her magic to levitate the ball to them. "Here, take the ball and leave us alone." Twilight then whispered into the alicorn fillies ear. "Nyx, take Limestone and run as fast as you can, and don't look back." Nyx then ran away with Limestone behind her as Twilight turned back around, Hardshell grabbing the Dragon Ball they were given.
"Thank you for your cooperation." Tirek said. "But we lost our scouters, so could you be a dear and point us to the next village?"
"That wasn't part of the deal!" Twilight shouted.
500! Give them their prize Hardshell." Tirek said to which Hard shell then fired a ki blast from his mouth past Twilight, impacting Limestone and killing her upon impact. Twilight looked in shock as did Nyx.
"Gilda, he's killing them!" Scootaloo said in anger.
"Happy place Scootaloo, happy place." Gilda told her.
Twilight looked and Tirek infuriated, her horn glowing again. "You...YOU KILLED THAT INNOCENT CHILD!"
"Let me help you with that." Hardshell said before vanishing. Twilight looked around then turned to Nyx. "GO NYX RU-" Twilight never finished as Hardshell appeared behind her and snapped her neck, killing her instantly and letting her corpse fall to the ground. "There, now you won't miss her." Hardshell noted.
"Excellent. And while you're at it." Tirek said looking at Nyx who had tears in her eyes before running away only for Hardshell to stop right in front of her. "I really do love kids, they don't leave much of a mess."
Scootaloo was tipping over her breaking point to which Gilda tried to stop her. "Scoots, clam down, you're a leaf, a leaf in a calm stream."
"F*CK THE STREAM!" Scootaloo shouted before flying towards Hardshell and kicking him upside the head and into a house. "LEAVE HER ALONE! PICK ON SOMEPONY YOUR OWN SIZE!"
Hardshell pulled himself out of the rubble shaking it off. "Did I just get told off by a chicken?" Hardshell said as he pulled himself out only for Gilda to kick him away again then run over grabbing Nyx. "Quack!" She yelled before flying off, Scootaloo following suit.
"Well Hardshell, it looks like we found your space duck, but if you wouldn't mind, CHASE AFTER THEM YOU FAT IDIOT!" Tirek commanded to Hardshell who flew after them with new vigor.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gilda and Scootaloo were flying away from the location at top speed not wanting to be caught. "Not gonna lie Scootaloo, you may have just killed us pulling that stunt."
"We're in the clear, were miles away from them and since he's bigger then us, there's no way he'll." Scootaloo was interrupted as Hardshell shot a ki blast at them forcing Gilda to dodge. "Well look who's wrong!" Gilda yelled.
"There's always room for error!" Scootaloo responded.
Hardshell flew closer to Gilda and grabbed her by the leg only for Gilda to smack him in the face with her tail and continued to fly. Gilda panicked but then thought of something then put her claws to her head. "Solar flare!" Gilda let off a brilliant white light that blinded Hardshell with a picture of a human man in the shower, with Tirek's head photoshopped onto the head. Hardshell screamed in disgust as he covered his eyes, blinded by the light. Gilda and Scootaloo continued flying until they came near where they were hiding out. Gilda looked at Scootaloo. "Great. i think we lost him." She then looked at the black filly Scootaloo held near her. "You all right? Can you fly?"
"Y-yeah. We all learn to fly when we're young." Nyx replied hesitant before Scootaloo let her go as she hovered alongside them using her wings to help her.
"I like you. I think I'll call ya Little Wings." Gilda said with a smile.
"My name is Nyx."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hardshell flew across the skies looking for those two runts when he was suddenly kicked sending him flying towards a lake. "GOD DAMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!" He screamed as he slammed into it. He pulled himself out and found himself facing a smug Lightning Dust. "If it isn't Hardshell, the Fat behind Tirek's army."
"Lightning Dust, I knew it was you that snuffed out Adagio."
"Yeah. Pretty easy when you have these outdated dust collectors." Lightning Dust retorted pointing to her scouter.
"Speaking of which, we just had a little accident with all of ours, how about you just let me borrow it and I can pretend I just found it by a body of a solider."
Lightning smiled as she took it off but placed it on the ground with her hoof above it. "I would but you see the problem with the scouter is..." She crushed it easily as Hardshell looked shocked. "It's broken."
"I still get the last laugh, without that scouter you're just as blind as the rest of us now."
"Funny thing is, I didn't even need it. You see after my defeat on Equis, I learned that the fighters there were able to detect power levels without the use of a scouter. One of which was a lower class saiyan."
"Wait a minute. It makes sense now, those two runts that hit me were from Equis weren't they?" Hardshell asked catching Lightning Dust's attention. "You're probably working with them, that's why they were at the village, reconnaissance so you could see how many guys Tirek brought."
"Interesting, I'll be sure to deal with them later. But for now, I'll settle on killing you." In an instant, Lightning Dust was behind Hardshell holding him by the arms and beginning to pull causing him to scream. "Wait! I could tell you what really happened to Planet Lightning Dust! Just please don't kill me!" Hardshell begged.
"Well that's like something I would want to hear. All though I wish you didn't beg like a woman."
"I am a woman!" Hardshell shouted.
"W-what?" Lightning Dust asked stunned.
"I said, I am a woman!" Hardshell yelled again prompting Lightning Dust to let go. "You have one minute to tell me what I want to know."
"Y-you see, in recent years before it's destruction, Tirek had noticed a slow but subtle increase in saiyan foals being born with high power levels, one such being a foal with a power level of 20,000. Seeing a foal with this much strength at a young age, proved to be hazardous to his empire, especially after Tirek Planet 419 was captured by a small group of lower class saiyans. So when the moment came, Tirek made a choice: either allow the Saiyans to live and see how long it would take until they needed to be tended to like the weeds they were, or take them all out in one fell swoop leaving only a handful of survivors as to monitor them in safer conditions. In the end I'm pretty sure he made to right choice, but to see to that the job went flawlessly, Tirek dealt the blow himself watching the fireworks afterward. Of course your mother had objections to it and confronted him, though Tirek had dealt with her easily, though the leader of the 419 team Spitfire fought to the end, but the blast Tirek made proved too much even for her." Hardshell finished as Lightning Dust stared at the ground. "I could see you're taking it all in, I'll just leave you to it while I let Tirek know you're here."
"That's the thing." Lightning Dust said prompting Hardshell to turn around and see her cruelest smile yet on her face as the ground began to shake. "You're not telling him anything. Not for him using me, but for the fact he cost me my race, my rightful kingdom, and spending my entire life having to deal with Derpy! And to begin I'll repress the disgust of your true gender and replace it with the rage against Tirek. Step 1? Killing you!" Hardshell panicked as she took a step back. "Wait! You and me could team up against Tirek, and rule the Galaxy as same sex couple!"
"Repressing in 3!" Lightning Dust began to count down causing Hardshell to panic then fly away in terror. "LORD TIREK!" She yelled on flow Lightning Dust to thrust her hoove out. "SAY HI TO ADAGIO!" She yelled before firing a ki blast which engulfed Hardshelll vaporizing her. Lightning Dust then stood there alone as she smiled. "And repressed."
