I own nothing!
Vegeta deflected yet another punch from that creature. He hadn't had time to check its power level yet, but he suspected it matched his own or was very close.
Oh well. Sometimes, when skill can't win, a bit of treachery will.
He landed on the ground in a crouch, and the Rapidash horse followed him. He hurled a couple of ki blasts to distract it, then as it was neutralizing them he reached down and scooped up a handful of dirt.
Then, out of nowhere, the horse teleported in front of him. He merely smiled and hurled the handful of dirt right into the horse's eyes.
"AUUGGH!" the horse yelled. It backed up, temporarily blinded by the surprise attack. Vegeta pressed his advantage and was about to land a massive punch on the creature when, out of nowhere, something collided into him.
He was sent tumbling, ending up against a wall. As he got up, he saw it was that yellow and pink pegasus who'd managed to hold its ground against him. But now, it was surrounded by a golden aura incredibly similar to his own.
Smiling, he taunted "So, finally have enough power that you can stand your ground against me?"

Rainbow Dash panted as she flew about the palace. The princess hadn't been in her bedroom, or in the gardens, or in the throne room, or anywhere else she could think of.
She smacked her hoof against her head. "Think Rainbow Dash, think! Where haven't you checked…The Library!"
Dash charged up to the library, only knocking over three royal pages and six Palace Guards in the process. Finally, she arrived at the doors to the library. Wary of the last room she'd barged into, she smashed her hoof against the door. "Princess! It's Rainbow Dash!"
"Come on in," came the relaxed reply. Rainbow Dash then slammed open the doors and barged in. The white alicorn was sitting at a table, reading some sort of overly-large book on something Dash didn't care about. "Rainbow Dash, how nice to see you. How-"
"No time for pleasantries," Rainbow Dash interrupted. "We really need the elements. Now!"
The princess's face went stern. "Very well. Follow me." Celestia then took off at a speed that surprised Dash (the fastest she'd ever seen the princess fly was maybe at a slow-trotting pace). She then jumped up and followed the alicorn to the place the elements were kept.
The princess carefully performed the spell that opened the lock. Then, the doors opened and Celestia floated out the box. "Here you are. Now be careful. I got a sense of this creature you're fighting. It is far more powerful and destructive than you might think."
Dash nodded, grabbed the box, and flew through one of the windows. "I'm coming guys," she yelled as she flew back to Ponyville.

Fluttershy glared down at the Super-Saiyan. She had just kept it from hurting Rapidash Twilight, who had managed to get the dirt out of her eyes.
The creature glared right back at the two of them. She could see its hands clench into fists. "So, no creature in this pitiful land is strong enough to beat me alone? Very well. I will merely have to smite you both."
Rapidash Twilight growled and charged at Vegeta again. He tried to teleport aside, but Twilight teleported right with him, appearing directly in front of his face. He barely managed to dodge the punch that she threw at him, but managed to successfully avoid the next volley, returning a few of his own.
Then, Fluttershy one came out of the blue again. Although he came close to dodging her this time, he still took a small hit from the pegasus' hoof. It distracted him from his defense for but a moment, but it was all that Rapidash Twilight needed.
Focusing the magic in her horn, Rapidash Twilight managed to shoot a fireball at Vegeta. He tried to neutralize it with a ki attack, but it was so abrupt he had barely even raised his hand before it hit.

Pinkie, Rarity, and Applejack watched as the creature went flying into the forest.
"Where d'ya reckon it landed?" Applejack asked.
Pinkie squinted a bit. "I'm not sure, but it looks like it landed over by Zecora's house."
Rarity and Applejack's eyes slowly widened. "Zecora's house? Our sisters are over there!" they yelled in unison. Immediately, the two began to gallop full speed to the zebra's house, with Pinkie Pie following behind a ways.

Applebloom poked at something that looked like a pea plant in a pot on Zecora's shelf. "Hey Zecora, what's this for?"
"I don't know what be that sample, for my knowledge is not yet ample," came the reply.
"Looks sorta like a bean," Sweetie Belle commented.
Zecora was about to say something, but in that moment Vegeta came crashing through the wall, knocking over a plate of herbs and getting covered in some kind of potion.
"Ungh," he mumbled as his hair went from gold to black. "What did I land on this time?"
"Tis my house you have hit, you stupid worthless piece of-"
Zecora's rhyme was interrupted as Fluttershy and Rapidash Twilight came barreling in. "Give it up, Super Saiyan!" Twilight yelled.
Vegeta slowly got up. "Super…Saiyans…Don't…Surrender!" he yelled. Still, even as he said it, he knew he couldn't keep it up much longer. He was fairly certain that last impact had cracked a rib, and he was covered in bruises where those creatures had hit him (hooves hurt a lot more than fists, okay?). He looked around, searching for something that might help him out. At that point, his eyes fell on the plant Zecora had found.
A Sensu bean! Yes! Now I can restore my energy and become more powerful! In a flash, he dashed over to the plant and picked and ate the bean. Immediately, he felt his power return and increase. Turning back to the ponies, he grinned. "You know, I was only Super Saiyan level one back there. Perhaps you'd like to see the power of my Super Saiyan level two form!"
Vegeta then began to tremble again. As his power increased, Applejack, Pinkie, and Rarity came running to the door. "Applebloom! We need to get the hay out of here!" Applejack yelled.
"Sweetie Belle, please!" Rarity begged. "A brawl like this is no place for a lady!"
"But I wanna watch!" came the reply.

Vegeta could feel his power rising exponentially. These creatures will fall beneath my might! Nothing can stop me now!
With a final shout of effort, Vegeta changed to his Super Saiyan level two form. All the creatures were staring at him, seemingly paralyzed by fear at the strength he'd just gained. He smiled evilly. "Prepare to experience the afterlife." With that, he flung himself at the closest pony, Fluttershy.

The shy pony's eyes widened as the level two Super Saiyan came racing at her. She barely dodged aside, but even as she did, the Saiyan turned around and smashed his fist against her back. She was sent flying through the wall and into a tree outside. The Saiyan, not content with the damage he'd already caused, hurled a massive volley of ki blasts at her.
All her friends watched in horror as Fluttershy was engulfed by the explosion. When the dust settled, they saw her at the bottom of a twenty foot crater, unconscious and looking badly hurt.
Rapidash Twilight's eyes narrowed. "Nopony hurts my friends and gets away with it!" She flung herself forward, ready to burn the Saiyan to a crisp.
Vegeta turned over almost casually and held up his hand. When Twilight was mere inches away, he hurled a blast of ki right into her face.
"AAUUUGGHH!" she screamed, stopping. The blast hadn't hurt her, but it did temporarily blind her. Now the massive punch he followed up with, that hurt.
As Twilight was hurled off, Applejack tried to buck a tree branch at the Super-Saiyan's back. However, Vegeta merely held up his hand and caught it. He then turned over to Applejack and slowly tightened his grip. The earth pony gaped as Vegeta's grip reduced the limb to dust.
"My turn," he growled. "Catch this." He then gathered up a ball of ki in his hand and hurled it at Applejack. She barely dodged it, or the next one. The third one, however, caught her between the shoulders and knocked her out cold.
Vegeta turned on the two remaining members of the Mane Six: Rarity and Pinkie Pie.
"Come on Rarity," Pinkie said, still optimistic and energetic. Putting her foreleg on Rarity's shoulder, she said the words the unicorn dreaded: "We can take'em!"
"What have I gotten myself into?"

Rainbow Dash hurtled through the skies at breakneck speed. "Don't worry guys!" she yelled. "Just a little longer!"
