Back at the Treehouse of Harmony, Sanbar is pacing around, anxiously waiting the return of his friends. Yona watches him in worry.
"What take friends so long, Sandbar?" asked Yona.
"I don't know, Yona." Sandbar said.
"You don't think they in trouble, do you?" Yona said fearfully.
"Of course I don't," said Sanbar confidentially, "In fact, I'm sure they can handle the situation as we speak."
"Okay," said Yona, a little calmer, "Yona gonna go downstairs now."
"Okay," said Sandbar, "But stay in the clubhouse for safety."
"Yona will!"
...
Yona made it downstairs and went tot eh crystal fridge to get a frozen Hayburger out of it.
"Yak the best at eating frozen food." Yona said, enjoying her snack.
Yona then took a look out the window and noticed a silhouette of someone coming to the clubhouse. It looked pony-like.
"Huh?" Yona said with her mouthful. She then poked her head out of the window and saw from out of the shadows appeared Dark Rainbow, who gave a coy grin to Yona.
"Professor Dash?" Yona asked in surprise.
"Hello, Yona." smarmed Dark Rainbow.
"Why Professor Dash look different?"
"Well, it's all thanks to my new friend." Dark Rainbow explained.
"New friend?" Yona sked.
"She means me." Came the voice of Bitter Taste, who came out of the shadows as well.
"Call me Bitter Taste," he said.
"Yona no care what to scary-looking pony," she said in an upset tone, "What you do to Professor Dash?"
"Oh, nothing major," he said coolly, "Just gave her the alicorn hood of Twilight, Cadance and the ex-Royal Sisters."
"Alicornhood?" asked Yona, confused.
"Of course someone as empty-headed as a Yak wouldn't get it." teased Bitter Taste.
This struck a nerve with Yona, she then gave an angry look.
"What did you say?" Yona asked, quietly but angrily.
"That Yaks are empty-headed." Bitter Taste said tauntingly.
This upset Yona, who then went to the clubhouse doors and kicked them open and went outside.
"Scary pony better say 'sorry' for saying bad things about yaks!"
"If you insist," Bitter Taste said smugly, "I'm sorry that your entire race is filled with brainless, uncultured savages!"
This was the last straw for Yona as she charged headfirst as Bitter Taste. Dark Rainbow ran up to defend him, but Bitter Taste put his hoof out to stop her.
"I got this, Your Majesty."
Yona was 10 feet near him and just as she got close to him, he started his magic and Yona immediately bumped into a force field. However, because of her strength and speed, the hit was rather critical as suddenly, her horns suddenly broke off from her head.
Yona got a little dizzy before gaining back her senses. She then sees her horns on the ground. Gasping, she went to a nearby pond to look at her reflection to notice the broken stubs where her horns are suppose to be. Yona yells in shock before being zapped in the back by Bitter Taste. Flinching from the magic, the now hornless Yona soon gets drowsy.
"Yona...sleepy." she said weakly before falling on her stomach and straight into dreamland. Bitter Taste withdrew his magic and looked pretty proud.
"Hey!" shouted a voice and Bitter Taste and Dark Rainbow noticed Sandbar at the treehouse doorway.
"Get away from her!" Sandbar shouted fearlessly.
"Alrighty then, she's all yours." Bitter Taste said as he used his magic to throw Yona at Sandbar, who is too shocked to move out of the way and a direct hit ensued, knocking both him and the sleeping Yak back into the clubhouse. Using his magic, he put a large force field around the clubhouse.
"That ought to keep them from interfering" Bitter Taste said, "Alright now You Highness, let's go take care of other possible liabilities."
Bitter Taste then left the scene. Princess Dark Rainbow began to follow before looking back at the treehouse with a look of guilt, but she sighed and continue following her master.
