"You hit harder than I expected you to," Shulk complimented. "I guess that means it's time to show you the Monado's power!" He then held his blade in front of him before the circular gap near the hilt began to glow. It glowed green and had a symbol in the center, but that quickly changed to a different blue symbol, then a yellow one, and finally a purple symbol. Shulk remained stationary for a moment before the symbol exploded with light, causing the Monado to begin glowing purple. "BUSTER!" Shulk shouted as he charged forward. He then thrust the blade at Rainbow Dash. The dull edge of the inactive sword hit the pony in the chest and caused her to flinch, but that hit was nothing compared to when the blade suddenly sprang to life and the beam of light extended forward, hitting Rainbow hard and knocking her backward.
