In midnight, most of ponies including Twilight and her friends were asleep peacefully and quietly. Despite the problem they had this morning, they prayed that tomorrow would be different than before. And hopefully, ponies will leave Ben alone.
As Twilight Sparkle and her two adopted children were asleep, Ben opened his eyes as he got up at once. He looked around of his surroundings as he found everyone was asleep. He sighed in concern as he placed the letter near to Twilight Sparkle. He kissed on her forehead gently. He really hate doing this to his own friends and family. But he knew he has to do it.
Ben took both packed bag and rope underneath the bed. He then headed to the top's balcony. As he tied the rope tightly on the barrier, he was about to get down. But something bitten his tail, he turned and found his wolf pet whined unhappily. Ben sighed in upset as he had the feeling that Koga won't let him go easily.
Ben patted Koga, "Sorry, boy. I didn't mean to make you upset. But this is something I've gotta do. If I wanna help Twilight Sparkle or at least get away from ponies, I need some training. With Flash's help, this won't be a big deal."
Koga whimpered unhappily with his ears dropped down. He looked down in upset. Ben sighed as he held his pet on his back.
"But you can come with me," Ben said calmly. Koga panted happily. He quickly hushed at his pet, "Don't make noise! I don't want Twilight and others get worry about me."
Koga nodded happily. As Koga held tightly on Ben, they both began climbing down from the balcony to the ground. They then met up with Flash Sentry, who was prepared with weaponry gears on his bag pack.
"Took you long enough," Flash Sentry said in amusement.
Ben shrugged, "Sorry. Koga whined. He hates being alone."
Flash Sentry sighed, "Alright. Let's get going."
"Where we're going?"
"Everfree Forest," Flash Sentry answered. Ben yelped in shock while opened his jaw widely. He chuckled in amusement, "What? It's the only place where ponies expect the least of us going. After all, they hate going to that place."
Ben hummed in concern, "I guess you're right..."
"Of course, I am. Come on. Let's get going."
Both Ben and Flash Sentry marched straight ahead to Everfree Forest for peace and quiet especially turn the attention away from the ponies. They have arrived at the mysterious Forbidden Cave. It was a perfect place for them to sleep. They then set the camp up here. They were prepared to get some sleep for tomorrow morning training.
"Are you sure it's good idea to sleep here?" Ben asked in concern.
Flash sighed, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine. No Timberwolves and any monster would come here. Wanna know why?"
"How about 'no'?"
"Because this Forbidden Cave holds something dangerous and scary for anypony or even monsters go near it. But here's the strangest thing - nopony know what's inside. It's definitely something we so do not mess with."
"Oh, that's convincing. And hopefully, something doesn't try to eat me alive."
"Well, we should be grateful that nothing try to attack us or even disturbed us now. Anyhow, get some rest. We've got some big day of training tomorrow."
"Yeah. I want to show Twilight and others that I'm not that same shy pony again. I've gotta be strong and fast to impress her. And of course, gotta make a run away from those crazy town ponies."
"You will. You will."
Unknown to these two ponies, five black hooded ponies were standing on the tree's branches. They were watching Ben and Flash Sentry sleeping peacefully and passionately.
"Just as we planned," The first black hooded pony said in amusement, "Prepare for Phase Two. And remember, we cannot let anyone interfere our plan especially involving a duel between Ben Mare and my father's pet."
"Sir," Other four black hooded ponies nodded.
Summoning the portals, Five of mysterious ponies disappeared went into them. The portals disappeared.
On the next day, Twilight Sparkle woke up in the morning. She found a letter near to her pillow. She opened and read it. It shocked and scared her as she turned and looked at the Ben's bed. She found him gone and disappeared. She was in deep shock and concern.
Twilight have Spike and Nyx to call her friends, even Cutie Mark Crusaders to her home at once. Upon their arrival, she told them about the letter and Ben. They were in shock and upset to hear it.
"So, he... He really left?" Rarity asked in concern.
Rainbow Dash groaned, "So, he's gone back home now? Great..."
"Poor Ben. He must be upset and angry with this." Fluttershy said in concern, "All he ever wanted is to be with us, not get disturbed for pictures and signs."
"Party Popper..." Pinkie Pie remarked, "Those ponies sure know how to be one."
Twilight Sparkle sighed unhappily, "I wish there was another way to stop him from leaving here or even try to get the ponies leave him alone."
Spike sighed as he patted Twilight Sparkle's back, "I'm sorry for this, Twi."
"Me too, mummy," Nyx said in upset, "It was unfair for Ben to leave here. I actually do like him to be here. I can get to know more about him."
Cutie Mark Crusaders hummed in upset, "Poor Ben..."
Applejack hummed in concern as she looked around of her surroundings. She found it something odd yet strange about it.
"I don't really leave," Applejack said calmly and firmly. Everyone looked at her as they wondered of what she was talking about. She continued, "If Ben really left, he should have packed all of his stuffs. But for some reason, his stuffs are here."
Twilight and her friends looked around of the area. They found some of Ben's stuffs left behind. They commented that Applejack was right about it.
"If Ben's stuffs were still here," Twilight Sparkle said in surprise and concern, "Where did Ben go?"
Applejack hummed in concern, "And more importantly, where did his best friend and Koga go? I haven't seen them since this morning."
Everyone hummed in concern as they all wondered where did Ben, Flash and Koga go to. They also hoped that their friends are safe from danger.
"Well, if we're gonna find them, we'd better do it now," Rainbow Dash suggested.
Rarity nodded, "There's no telling what he would be doing. And hopefully, he's not trying to do something stupid."
"But this is Ben Mare. He wouldn't do such a thing, right," Fluttershy asked in concern.
Twilight Sparkle sighed, "Knowing him - he would be to impress me. What am I gonna do with him?"
At the Forbidden Cave; Ben, Flash and Koga woke up at once. They had their own breakfast before they began their training. Flash Sentry passed the sword to Ben. They both positioned themselves in ready to spar.
"Hope you didn't forget the training I gave you when we were kids," Flash asked in amusement. He chuckled, "And knowing you, you were bad at it."
Ben scoffed, "Yeah, sure. But I've got practice since I became the Demon Pony."
"Let's hope so. I hope you won't try to run away from the fight."
"I won't! Give me your best shot, buddy."
Flash Sentry smirked as he waved his 'come and get me' hoof gesture at Ben. Ben charged in while thrust his sword at Flash Sentry who deflect to his right before kicked his back hard. The prince turned and swung his sword at Royal Guard, who blocked and deflected the attacks swiftly and quickly for few times. As Ben gave a hard swing on top, Flash Sentry rolled to the front before kicked the former off. Ben quickly hovered and kicked Flash Sentry hard.
Koga panted happily as he was watching the sparring between Ben Mare and Flash Sentry. He barked and cheered happily for Ben to win the spar.
Rainbow Dash was flying around at Everfree Forest for nearly an hour. As she arrived at Forbidden Cave, she spotted two familiar ponies at the area. As she hid behind the clouds, she spotted Ben and Flash Sentry sparring with each other. She huffed in annoyance.
"Ben, you are so busted," Rainbow Dash said in annoyance, "She's right. Twilight is so gonna be mad with you about this."
As Rainbow Dash flew straight back to Ponyville, five portals appeared on the ground. Five mysterious hooded ponies emerged from the portals. The leader turned and looked at the Forbidden Cave. He smirked proudly.
"Is it done?" The leader asked in amusement. Four hooded ponies nodded firmly. He smirked, "Excellent. It's time for my father's pet to be awakened for her latest dish..."
At the hut, Zecora was chanting humbly and calmly as she was meditating. She looked very calm and peaceful for the moment. Until something shocked and surprised her to gasp, she looked concern and worry.
"No... Ben is in grave danger!" Zecora said in concern, "They must escape the Forbidden Cave before he is doomed!"
Zecora rushed out at once to warn Twilight Sparkle and her friends about the danger.
Returned to Ponyville, Rainbow Dash reported to Twilight Sparkle and her friends about Ben and Flash Sentry. Twilight Sparkle was bit of ticked and annoyed about this.
"I knew he was trying to impress me!" Twilight Sparkle snarled in annoyance. She groaned, "When I get to Forbidden Cave, I'm gonna give him some piece of my mind!"
"Oh boy, Twilight's gonna go berserk again," Spike commented.
Nyx nodded, "Yeah. Come on. Let's go after her before she go overboard."
Twilight Sparkle and her friends headed off at once. Lyra Heartstrings and Bon-Bon spotted the girls running off. They quickly followed the girls, followed by other ponies. They all hoped that they can find and get Ben with them...
At Forbidden Cave, both Ben and Flash Sentry continued training and sparring for almost whole day. Twilight Sparkle and her friends have arrived as they all climbed down the slide while hiding behind the rocks. The boys almost finished with their training. They were all exhausted and tired as they lied down on the ground.
Flash panted heavily, "Well, that was impressive. You did well, Ben. It looks like you'll be alright."
Ben smiled, "Thanks. I owe you one, buddy. So, what's next?"
"How about we get something to bite from Hayburger Restaurant?"
"How about you start telling me the truth?!" The angry girl's voice demanded.
Ben and Flash yelped in concern as they got up and found Twilight Sparkle and her friends standing before them. The boys gulped fearfully as they're now in big trouble.
"Hey, Twilight... So, you get my letter?"
Twilight Sparkle huffed angrily, "About leaving and going back to Canterlot? Yeah, I did! I can't believe that you lied to me!"
"What?!"
"Well, what do you have to say? Why did you say that you're going back to Canterlot while you and Flash were heading here for training?!"
Ben thought carefully of what Twilight Sparkle. He yelped in realization, "Yikes! I gave the wrong letter! That letter was only for when I felt this place is not good for me. I must have put the wrong letter."
"You did?" Twilight Sparkle asked in surprise.
"Yeah. Sorry about that, Twi."
"Honestly, Ben. Sometimes, you can be very careless. Sorry for the misjudge, again..."
"Yeah, sorry for making you worry sick. I didn't mean it. Well, at least, I got my fighting skills better."
"Yeah, I hope so. Come on, let's got home and get something to eat. Hopefully, we have to get those ponies stop invading your privacy."
"Yeah. Thanks, Twi."
And just before Twilight Sparkle and her friends could do anything, they heard some explosion. They turned and found the giant rock that blocked the entrance exploded. The debris of rocks were about to make a great impact on them. Twilight Sparkle quickly teleported her and her friends to further away from the area before they get crushed.
The first hooded pony groaned angrily, "Curse those ponies! We almost have them!"
"Agree..." The second hooded pony hissed.
The third hooded pony growled, "I want that head of Twilight Sparkle after what she has done to me especially taking my 'Prize Pupil' position from Princess Celestia!"
The leader smirked in amusement, "Calm down, Wilco. And don't worry; Straven Fran and Suffocater Jill, this is part of my father's plan. This is just the opening act."
The fourth hooded pony chuckled in amusement, "I, Deadly Rager, will be honored to see the end of Princess Celestia's heir. It would be beautiful, wouldn't it, Lord Merluck?"
Merluck smirked, "Indeed it is, Rager. All is prepared..."
Twilight Sparkle and all of her friends sighed in relief that they're safe from danger for now. They then heard the cheering. They turned and found ponies cheering about Ben being safe from danger by Twilight Sparkle and her friends.
Flash groaned, "So much for privacy."
"Aw, come on! This isn't so bad," Pinkie Pie remarked happily.
"Ooh! They must have followed us!" Fluttershy said in concern, "Because we're the friends of Prince Ben."
"What are we gonna do?" Cutie Mark Crusaders asked in concern.
"Well, I'll just have to get use to it," Ben said in annoyance.
Rainbow Dash nudged on Ben's shoulder, "Chillax, we said that we'll help and solve privacy problem. Twilight will talk with the mayor and them."
Rarity nodded in agreement, "Indeed, Twilight Sparkle is good at negotiation with ponies. And not to mention, she solve the problem with reason."
"Speaking of reason," Spike said in concern as he found Twilight Sparkle and Applejack inspecting on the rocks and cave, "Something up with them."
Ben approached Twilight Sparkle, "Everything alright?"
"Yeah... Just have the funny feeling," Applejack said in concern while looking at the cave, "Don't you find it strange? Why would the cave's giant boulder exploded in the first place? But what's inside of the cave?"
"You're right, Applejack. There's definitely something going on especially this Forbidden Cave. Who? And why?" Twilight Sparkle said in concern, "And also, what's inside the cave?"
Applejack sighed, "Nopony knows, Twilight, not even Granny Smith knew about it."
Ben shrugged, "Well, whatever is it, it's just empty. This is just to trick ponies, not to go near to the cave."
"Ponies! Ponies!" The familiar voice exclaimed fearfully. Ponies turned and found Zecora running towards them while shouting, "Away! Away from the cave! Grave danger you all are especially the Princes! Within it, lurks the dangerous beast, waiting to feast of those who dare to awaken it!"
"Huh?!" Twilight Sparkle and her friends asked in shock and concern.
A sudden noise growling and hissing, getting ponies' attention. They all yelped in concern, and even Zecora looked frightful and scared.
"Zecora, please tell me that there's nothing inside," Spike asked fearfully.
Zecora gulped, "I'm afraid. There is. And now, it's in hunger for the beast to feast. The Hydra is here!"
The ponies spotted the giant orange eyes opened. It was heading straight for them. Its two giant claws raised and landed on the ground. It then raised its the dark blackish gigantic serpentine-head with spikes on his head to its long tail, as well as having some scars on it. It hissed and growled wildly.
Ponies began shivering and quivering in fears.
Zecora looked fearful and worried, "Oh no... It has awaken."
"Is... Is that what I think it is?!" Nyx asked fearfully.
"Two words!" Pinkie Pie said fearfully. The serpentine creature screeched for a while before it roared wildly. She screamed fearfully, "AM SCRAY!"
Ponies from Ponyville screamed in fear.
Hydra growled before stuck his tongue out whole hissing happily. Through her eyes, she sees the ponies' heats. They all looked delicious and good for her to taste especially Twilight Sparkle's magical power. She found what's more tastier is none other Ben Mare - whose heat mixed well with pure golden aura-like. She licked her tongue on her mouth.
"RUN!" Twilight Sparkle ordered fearfully.
Twilight Sparkle and her friends screamed in fear. They all quickly turned and ran as fast as they can to the steps of rocks and stones. As most of ponies managed escape from the grounds; Ben got deflected and pushed by mysterious force-field.
Ben groaned, "What the-?!"
Twilight Sparkle gasped, "BEN!"
"What happen?! What the-?!" Spike exclaimed in concern as he felt strange yet mysterious energy-like force-field in front of him, "What's this?!
Nyx groaned, "Force field?! Why?!"
"Forget 'why', ask how are we gonna get Ben out?!" Applejack asked in concern.
Zecora hissed, "Somepony doesn't want us to interfere. Ben must face the beast alone."
As the Hydra came close, she lunged straight at Ben while opened her wide jaws. He quickly rolled to his right side. He quickly trotted to the back of the monster.
Ben groaned as he armed with his sword, "It looks like I don't have much choice."
"Ben, don't!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed in concern, "Don't do it! You won't have the chance to defeat her!"
Flash nodded fearfully, "You're not ready for this!"
"Sorry, guys! I have to!" Ben exclaimed in concern as he was ready to fight. The Hydra turned and growled in anger. He hissed, "Make the call, Flash!"
As Ben waited for the instruction or the monster's attack, he went around her. The Hydra moved while her long neck headed monster followed him in ready to attack.
"Okay! Dance around him! Dance around him, Ben!" Flash exclaimed in concern, "And watch the teeth! Watch the teeth!"
The Hydra launched her head in taking a bite on Ben, who quickly jumped back at once. She then launched another attack. He quickly moved back. As she launched the next attack, he quickly swung his sword right at injuring her nose. She yelped and screeched painfully.
Flash sighed, "That's a relief."
"Woohoo! Nice one, Benny!" Pinkie cheered.
"You can do it, Ben!" Rarity cheered.
"Go, Ben, Go!" Cutie Mark Crusaders cheered wildly.
Rainbow Dash giggled, "Okay! Now lean to the left. Lean to your left."
"Lean to what?!" Ben asked in shock, "Flash was supposed to coach me!"
Flash gasped as he spotted Hydra recovered, "Move! Lean to the left now!"
Ben turned to his back for the moment. He yelped fearfully as he found the Hydra raised her head high. She screeched wildly while launching her head right at him. Ben quickly yet barely dodged it as his long tail got torn and pulled to pieces by the Hydra's teeth on the ground.
Ben yelped painfully as he rolling over to the front, "My tail!"
Flash groaned as he gave a slap on his forehead, "The other left, Ben! Way to go, girls! You distract him!"
"Hey, I was trying to help! I fought monsters before, ya know?!" Rainbow Dash asked in annoyance.
"Hey! Wanna help Ben or not?!" Applejack asked in annoyance.
Fluttershy nodded, "He's in danger now! Oh my! I can't watch!"
As Ben got up at once, he armed with his sword. But he found the sword is not on his hoof. He looked around to find his sword. As he looked back, he found it jabbed to the ground. He gulped fearfully as he slowly turned to the front. He yelped in shock as he found the Hydra gritted and bite her fangs on the ground hard. She growling while gazing her eyes on his food.
As she slowly dragged her teeth back slowly, the Hydra raised her head up while roaring wildly.
"Get the sword! Hurry!" Nyx exclaimed fearfully.
Spike nodded, "Distract her or something!"
Twilight groaned as she levitated the large rock near to Ben's position. As the Hydra growled wildly, Ben moved slowly back while looking at her. She was about to finish him off.
"Ben, move!" Twilight Sparkle called as she threw the boulder at the Hydra. The monster responded it by taking a bite at it. She quickly shouted, "Ben, get the sword now!"
Ben yelped as he quickly ran off at once. The Hydra roared wildly as she threw the boulder at him. He spotted it as he ducked down while the boulder broken to pieces. The Hydra launched another attack at him. He yelped fearfully upon looking at it. He quickly rolled over to the front before the Hydra's head got slammed on the ground hard. She got knocked out while she looked very dizzy.
As Ben quickly crawled towards his sword, he grabbed and took it up. He was ready to attack, but instead he felt back left leg was filled with slime wrapped tightly. He turned to his back as he found the Hydra was awakened. He found his leg was wrapped up by her tongue.
Ben yelped, "Oh no! WOW!"
The Hydra roared happily as she pulled her tongue wrapped of Ben all the way up. She thrown him up high in midair. As she raised her head up high, she opened her jaws widely. Ben screamed fearfully as he was falling straight into the darkness of her mouth.
With Ben inside of her mouth, the Hydra shut her jaws tightly. She then licked him from within passionately and enjoyably like an ice-cream. She shown very pleased, delicious and tastefully as if she had never taste this food very delicious. But nevertheless, all good must come to end.
The Hydra swallowed morsel of Ben through her long tube of neck. With a sigh of relief, She smiled in satisfactions. She gave a loud belch out with wide opened mouth. She then licked her mouth with her long tongue.
Merluck and his mysterious group looked annoyed and disappointed with the event.
"Father was wrong about him. He is not the one," Merluck commented in annoyance. He sighed happilt while smiling, "Well, it's the first time to see Morgana enjoyed her meal. She usually just swallowed them up, instead of licking them. Ben is a perfect meal for her."
Everyone was in shocked, scarred and pained of what they just saw. Twilight and her friends were in heartbroken of what they just saw.
"Eew!" Cutie Mark Crusaders remarked in disgust and annoyance.
Rarity nodded, "Indeed, it is, girls. I don't even want to think about how bad it is when you're inside the monster's stomach!"
Twilight Sparkle sobbed tearfully and painfully, "Ben. No..."
"Damn it!" Flash Sentry cursed angrily.
"Oh no..." Fluttershy said in shock.
Pinkie Pie groaned before screamed, "CURSE YOU, MONSTER!"
The Hydra got surprise attention. She looked down and found ponies in front of her. She smirked in please. As she roared wildly, she launched her attack them head on. Ponies screamed in fear while Twilight Sparkle and her friends were armed and ready to attack.
As the Hydra was closed to attack the ponies, she stopped at once at once. She raised her head up, she shown her weird yet surprise and shock looks like something wrong with her stomach. She looked down on her long neck. She found something poking on her neck from within. And before the Hydra could respond it, she yelped painfully as her neck got decapitated by... Ben!
As the cleaved headed of Hydra thrown up on midair, hers was falling straight to the ground hard. Her headless body fell to the ground while Ben landed on the ground with his hooves. He was covered by greenish sticky slime.
Ponies cheered and gave a loud applaud for Ben's surviving and defeat of Hydra. Twilight and her friends also cheered happily while commented.
Flash Sentry sighed, "That was very close."
Twilight Sparkle nodded, "Yeah. Too close. Nopony could have survived that stunt. He's alright..."
"I wouldn't want to imagine of how terrible is from inside," Nyx said in concern.
Ben waved happily yet dizzily to his friends, "Hey guys... That... That wasn't so hard..."
Ben moaning and woozily in exhaustion and tired as he fell to the ground. Flash and Koga headed off at once, manage to pass strange force-field. As Twilight and her friends were about to pass through, they got bounced back.
"What?! Are you kidding me?!" Pinkie asked in annoyance.
Rainbow Dash groaned, "This is so annoying!"
"How is he?!" Twilight Sparkle asked in concern.
Nyx hissed fearfully, "Please be alright! Please be alright!"
Merluck and his cohorts witnessed the event. They were all surprised and shocked by it. Ben defeated and killed the Hydra?!
"This is impossible! Nopony can defeat the Hydra!" Suffocater Jill exclaimed in surprise.
Straven Fran nodded fearfully, "Yeah! And the boss isn't gonna like this."
Merluck smirked, "Don't worry. This is just the beginning. What Ben did is to delay the inevitable death."
Flash and Koga approached and checked on Ben at once. As Flash Sentry spread his wings out, he asked his best friend.
"Ben! How many wings I've got?"
As Ben looked at Flash Sentry, his vision got blurred as he found two extra more of Flash Sentry. He moaned exhaustively yet dizzily.
"Six?" Ben answered.
Flash hummed as he checked on his best friend's forehead, "Looks okay. But close enough. Come on, let's get out of here. So hard to believe that you of all ponies survived Hydra's stomach. Who knew?"
Ben yelped as his face glowed in green like he wants to vomit, "Please don't say that! I don't feel very good."
"Sorry," Flash apologized as he helped Ben to stand up, "Come on. Let me help you up."
Flash held Ben's hoof over his shoulder as they both approached Twilight Sparkle and her friends. The sky turned darker while it rained little to more. The fight with Hydra is over...
"Well, I'm glad that the fight with monster is over," Rarity commented in relief, "I was so ashamed that we have to let Ben fight with it."
Fluttershy nodded shamefully, "Me too, even though I was too scared to fight that monster."
"Wait a sec, something's not right," Applejack said in concern.
Twilight Sparkle nodded fearfully, "I don't think this Hydra is even dead. Or even he just has one head. We have seen one before. It has four heads."
Applejack gulped fearfully, "You don't think-!"
Twilight Sparkle gasped fearfully, "Oh no! Ben's still in danger! This is just starting! The Hydra's still alive!"
The rest of Mane Six and Cutie Mark Crusaders yelped fearfully. Twilight Sparkle and her friends cried fearfully to Ben Mare, Flash Sentry and Koga about getting out from the arena. But the trio looked confuse and concern of what they just saw.
"What's up with them?" Ben asked in concern.
Ben Mare, Flash Sentry and Koga yelped fearfully as they heard a weird noise like trying to get out from the egg's sticky shell. They really don't like it.
"That doesn't sound good," Flash commented fearfully.
Ben and his friends turned to their back. They yelped in fear. The once headless Hydra's body suddenly rose and stood up at once. Its headless part formed a plastic wrapper. For the moment later, three strange things was formed from within. They were trying to breach out of wrapper part.
Like a lizard regrowing its tail in a sec, three newly headed Hydra breached out from the headless body's plastic wrapper as they all roared wildly. They turned and glared at Ben while giving their hungry yet delicious looks - the first head licked her mouth, the second head drooling from her mouth and the third one chuckled happily.
Ponies yelped and screaming fearfully. Twilight Sparkle and her friends looked very worry and scared for Ben's safety now. Ben's in grave danger now.
Ben gulped, "Definitely not good! Any idea?!"
"Hop in! And hold it tight!" Flash Sentry exclaimed in concern, "It's gonna be bumpy ride!"
As Ben and Koga quickly got on Flash Sentry's back, they all screamed fearfully and quickly trotted off at once. Three headed hydra launched the attacks as they were trying to take bite on three ponies for few times. Flash Sentry took a fly to the top at once while Ben and Koga held on his back tightly.
"That was close," Ben exclaimed in concern.
Flash Sentry yelped, "Not yet! And boy, you really make a good menu for them!"
"Stop joking about me being food for those things!" Ben exclaimed anxiously.
Flash Sentry gulped, "Sorry! Old habit to make you happy and better."
"Not in good mood to have that now, buddy! Here they come!"
Three headed Hydra launched and stretched straight up as they tried to take a bite on Ben and his team. The ponies struggled dodging and avoiding the attacks while though they got injured and clawed by multi-heads' fangs and bites, Ben swung and decapitated all three Hydra's heads.
But unfortunately, the headless parts keep regenerating more heads. Each time Flash Sentry dodged the attacks, Ben swung his sword in cutting the Hydra's heads. And each time he decapitated their heads, more to replaced the parts and attacked Ben and his friends.
As the storm getting worse; Ben, Flash Sentry and Koga yelped in shock and fearfully. Twilight Sparkle and her friends had the same reaction, and even the ponies had that too. They were now facing 50 more heads. The multi-headed hydra were roaring, screeching and growling happily as they were looking at Ben. The Hydra looked very hungry while drooling happily.
Nyx shivered and quivered, "That's the most scariest moment I ever seen especially the multi-head Hydra!"
Spike nodded in agreement, "I don't even want to mess with a Hydra like him or her! Of whatever it is!"
"Oh for the love of-!" Twilight Sparkle groaned in annoyance as she used her Loudspeaker Spell, "Stop cutting her heads! You're making it worse!"
"Twilight's right. I don't think slicing their heads isn't working," Ben commented fearfully.
Flash Sentry nodded, "Please tell me that Sunburst warn us about this."
Ben yelped in realization, "I think he did. And I can't believe I ignore that!"
"What's next?!"
"We'll have to fly up higher! Hopefully, we get the plan before we get eaten alive!"
"Hang on!"
Flash Sentry quickly flew up to the sky while Ben and Koga held tightly on the Pegasus Pony. The multi-headed Hydra launched their heads at the ponies as they were trying to take a whole bite on Ben and his friends. For few times, the ponies dodged and avoided the attacks quickly by flew passed them or let their heads knocked each other out or hard for them to bicker.
Flash Sentry sighed, "That was close. At least, we're away from them."
Ben sighed, "Good enoug-! Gaugh!"
One head Hydra stretched her long neck out while giving a hard headbutt on Flash Sentry's body, causing him and his friends to split up. Flash Sentry and Koga were whirling and rolling around on midair before they knocked on the small hill hard. Ben flew to another direction yet away from his friends.
Flash Sentry groaned and hissed painfully as he felt his wings injured, "Damn it! That hurt! Wait! Ben?! Where are you?"
Koga barked fearfully. Flash Sentry turned to Koga's direction. He gasped in shock as they saw Ben was screaming as he was falling straight into the jungle of Hydra's multi-heads. Twilight and her friends have the same reaction with Flash Sentry and Koga. The ponies screamed fearfully.
"BEN!" Twilight Sparkle and her friends screamed in fear.
"PRINCE BEN!" The ponies screamed fearfully.
As Ben entered the Hydra's domain, the multi-headed beast dived down into its own nest. They pursued and chased after its favorite food.
Ben grunted as he landed on the Hydra's long yet twirling and spiral neck. He then slide all the way down on it. He looked around as he was surrounded and blocked by Hydra's multi-heads. Some Hydra's head dived down in waiting to take a bite on him, others were charging from the back of him and a few tried to take bite on him but missed or got knocked each other's head off.
Ben quivering and shivering in fear. There's no way out for him now. He has entered the death zone of Hydra's hunger.
"I can see why Twilight, Flash and other don't want me to get involved of this," Ben exclaimed in concern, "I really need to get some training and studying! HELP ME!!!"
As Ben continued sliding down the long neck, he screamed fearfully and anxiously. He gasped in shock as he spotted at the end of long neck was a Hydra Head with a wide mouth, waiting to take a bite on him. As he was closed to his death, another head pounced and took a bite on Ben. But instead, Ben jumped out to midair at once while the second head took a bite on the first one's.
While on midair, Ben quickly grabbed on the fourth head's long neck. Instead of taking a breathe, he yelped as he found two heads charged in from both sides. He slide down at once before two heads took a bite on the fourth one's neck.
As Ben continued sliding down the long neck, he yelped again as he felt his left back leg got wrapped up and dragged away from it. He gasped in fear as he found seventh Hydra was the one using a tongue on him. And just she could pulled Ben into her mouth, the eight one gave a headbutt on the former to release Ben. He was falling straight into five to six heads, who were waiting for him to come into their opened wide-mouths. As Ben was closed into their mouths, his tail got grabbed by the 14th head of Hydra. She continued stretching out all the way to top, three more lunged their headbutts on her hard.
Ben grunted as he fell on three headed Hydra's long neck. He yelped in fear as he found a few more heads coming at him. He trotted off at once before he get eaten alive. As he continued running away, he spotted more were coming at him. They tried to take a bite on him, he dodged down, jumped over it, sliding underneath the heads, even poked one of the Hydra's eyes and some got into the fight as they tried to eat him alive.
Ben continued running before entered the tunnel. He yelped in realization - it's not the tunnel, he entered the Hydra's mouth. He yelped as he can feel the tongue touching his body. He shivered and quivered in fear as he hate something so disgusting and slimy. Suddenly, he got spitted out. He turned and found another Hydra biting the first Hydra's neck hard.
Ben sighed in relief before he yelped in concern. He found the next Hydra head opened her wide mouth to get him eaten. Instead of standing down, he quickly jumped out at once. Another Hydra's head launched her tongue in wrapping Ben's both hooves tightly before lengthening hers in licking his face. He yelped fearfully. And just before she could take a big bite, Ben bite her tongue instead. She roared painfully while shaking her head hard for the moment. She unintentionally release her tongue wrapping Ben off and out from the jungle of Hydra's multi-heads.
Ben was flying straight to the large mountain of canyon but missed in taking a grip on its edge. He fell and slide straight down hard. And just before he could do anything, a long tail gave a hard and tight grip of Ben Mare to the walls hard. He groaned and grunted painfully as he struggled in getting out from it, as well as witnessing the hungry yet drooling multi-headed Hydra looking at him. Some licked their mouths, others smirked in pleasant, a few chuckled happily and most were very hungry.
"Sweet Celestia..." Ben said fearfully, "This is so not my day."
Twilight Sparkle and all of her friends were in shock, feared and worried now including ponies. Flash Sentry and Koga regrouped with their friends.
"We've gotta help him!" Flash Sentry exclaimed in concern. He grunted painfully as he tried to spread his swings, "Damn it! If my wings weren't hurt!"
"Ben, no!" Twilight Sparkle exclaimed fearfully. As she charged out, she got deflected by the force-field. Her friends came and helped her out. She grunted, "I can't let him die! I have to save him now!"
Applejack hugged Twilight Sparkle gently, "We're not giving him up! Come on! We've gotta try! Give it your best shot! We can't let him die!"
Mane Six, Cutie Mark Crusaders, Flash, Zecora, Koga and even ponies rammed, punched and knocked on the force-field very hard and quick repetitively. They have to rescue Ben before he became the monster's delicious food.
On the top of canyon, Merluck and his cohorts smirked in please.
"Ah... The beauty of death... Magnificent..." Deadly Rager said in please.
Wilco nodded, "Indeed. Twilight Sparkle will now taste my pain!"
"And here's my favorite part of games, ponies," Merluck said in pleasant. . He chuckled, "Sudden death. Without the heir, taking the princesses down will be easy..."
At the canyon's mountain, Ben grunted painfully as he struggled in getting out from the monster's tight grip of tail. And each time he struggled, the tail tightened its grip more tighten and harden. The multi-headed Hydra roared wildly as they raised their heads up. Ben gasped in fear. He won't able to escape this time.
"All I ever want... is to help Twilight Sparkle and others. I want to be a hero like them. I want to be fast and strong. And now I'm a dead meat." Ben remarked in shame, "I'm such an idiot!"
A sudden golden glowed brightly as it attracted Ben to look at his right hoof. And just before he could do anything, the mysterious bluish winged handler with long whitened and sharped sword appeared on his hoof. It then glow brightly in pure golden.
"What the-?!" Ben asked in shock and surprise, "What am I supposed to do with it? I can't keep cutting her heads. They grew more heads back! Unless..."
A sudden thunder shock him as he turned and looked up. He found canyon's mountain top edge where clouds keep striking the thunder out. He then looked at his newly sword. He thought of it carefully as he had some ideas! And just before he could do anything, the multi-headed heads of Hydra screeched wildly as they dived down at him with their widened open mouths.
Ben yelped, "Better than nothing!"
Ben screamed wildly as he turned and thrust his mysterious sword straight into the walls' hard. It created a large and long crack to the top of mountain. The multi-headed Hydra immediately stopped as they looked up. They gasped in shock while widened their eyes and mouths.
Thousands of boulders and debris fell off from the mountain's edge as they all gave the multi-headed Hydra a big smack and hard knock, including trapped Ben from the tightened grip tail braced the attack. As the amount of boulders rained down on the multi-headed Hydra to the ground, her tail unintentionally freed Ben.
As he was falling down, Ben gasped in shock. He found one Hydra avoided as she was waiting for him. He screamed in fear as he fell right into her mouth before shut her jaws up. She swallowed him up into a morsel through her long neck at once. She sighed in relief that she finally caught her precious and delicious food into her stomach.
But instead of smiling for her victory, one headed Hydra yelped in pain upon feeling a giant rock slammed and knocked to the ground hard. The rest of her heads and body were buried to death by the large amount of boulders while leaving one head dead on outside.
Merluck and his minions were in please from top of canyon's edge. They all bowed humbly like they were respecting to the dead.
"Not what I imagine. But this will do," Merluck said calmly, "Father will be pleased of this result. Morgana, your sacrifice will not be vain. At least, Ben Mare is inside your stomach before your death. Well done."
The ponies were in shock, terrified and pained to see the event especially Twilight Sparkle, Flash Sentry and their friends.
"No... Not again..." Flash commented in shock and pain.
"Ben..." Twilight Sparkle asked in shock. She then screamed in pain and heartbroken, "BEEEEEENNNN!"
As Twilight Sparkle crying, her friends came and hugged her in comfort. Her friends too were crying as well. The rest of Ponyville Town Ponies mourned humbly while looking down for the respect of Prince Ben Mare's death. They were all crying tearfully and despair. The Hydra is defeated but so does Ben Mare...
