Goku in Equestria

A plume of ash filtered through the windows of Celestias' bedroom, materialising into a sealed letter, "Well, that was fast."

"She's probably writing to tell you she got the message, sister." Luna stated as Celestia unfurled the letter, giving it a quick once-over, before here eyes widened and she read it again, only more thoroughly.

"Luna, Cadence, you need to read this." said Celestia, waving a hoof towards her fellow alicorns, "Something did come through."

"Then why can't we sense its' magical presence? It would need more magic than both us and the elements combined to pierce the veil!" Cadence waved a hoof incredulously while flying over to read the letter.

"... Personal student of a 'King Kai'? Sister, is this the ruler of a new nation, formed during my banishment?"

"I've never heard of a 'King Kai', and he isn't ruler of any nation I've ever heard of. It says here that this 'Son Goku' is capable of -" Celestia mumbled slightly to herself, moving the paper in closer, "- long-range group teleportation, accurate down to the inch, without the ball of light?"

"He must be an incredibly skilled unicorn to accomplish such a feat. Magic control like that is unheard of outside of alicorns, how far did he teleport, and how big was the group?" asked Cadence.

"It says here that it was a group of eleven, including himself, and from the middle of the Everfree to outside the barn at Sweet Apple Acres." Luna stared at the paper, disbelief evident on her face.

"Don't get worked up over it, sister. I'm sure my student has got the details mixed up. Nopony can perform feats of that nature."

"Maybe it's a secret spell from this 'King Kai'. Either way, I think we should all go and welcome Son Goku to our kingdom."

"Well it looks like all yer savin' Applebloom really worked up an appetite there, Goku!" Applejack gave him a beam as Big Mac helped her to her feet (hooves?), "Ah gotta introduce ya to the family!" she drew in a deep breath, "HEY GRANNY SMITH! GIT YER LAZY FLANK DOWN HERE! WE GOT SOMEPONY Y'ALL SHOULD MEET!"

"Applejack! Must you be so loud? You nearly woke dear Sweetie Belle." Rarity chided.

Applejack looked sheepishly at the ground, "Hehe, oops. My bad, Rares."

"What in tarnation has you all riled up down thar?" shouted a voice from the barn. This new voice had an accent much more potent than Applejacks, combined with a hoarseness obtained only in age, "Why are y'all wakin' up the elderly at this time ah night? Are those two younglings back from tah Everfree yet?" the voice mumbled to herself, the slow creaks from the stairs accenting it slightly.

"It's us, Granny! We both made it back all safe like! Thanks ta Goku, that is! He saved Applebloom from a pack a timbrwolves!"

"Goku eh?" the voice now identified as Granny Smith gave a chuckle, "Sounds like yer finally bringin' a stallion back to tah farm, eh Applejack?"

"Granny!" Applejack moaned, exasperated, "It ain't like that, he ain't even a pony, fer cryin' out loud!"

"Not a pony?" Granny asked, "Big Mac? She tellin' the truth?"

"Eeyup." the large red stallion nodded in Gokus' direction, looking on as the saiyan rubbed under his nose and chuckled awkwardly, "That's fer sure." the creaking finally stopped, as an aged green earth pony hobbled out of the door. She gasped as she saw Goku.

"Land sakes! Y'all weren't kiddin' when ya said 'not a pony'! The hay is he, some kinda monkey?"

"Nah, Granny, Goku's a saiyan! He's so nice an' all! He saved us from a pack a timberwolves!"

"A pack?! Applebloom, what have ah told y'all about lyin' ta yer granny?"

Applejack gave a small chuckle, "Actually, Granny, she ain't lyin'! Ah don't know how, but she's tellin' the truth!" she turned to Goku, "Hey Goku! Come meet mah family! This here's Granny Smith -" Applejack waved a hoof toward Granny Smith, wincing slightly as she put a little more weight on her hind legs, "- An' Big Macintosh -" the large red earth pony, still only coming up to under Gokus' chest. Both the new apples greeted Goku, Big Mac nodding slightly in his direction, and Granny Smith hobbling up and shaking Gokus' hand.

"Phew! He's a tall one Ah'll give 'im that!"

Goku returned the shake, lifting Granny Smith into the air as he put a little to much strength into it, "And I'm Son Goku, but my friends just call me Goku!" Goku beamed, before his stomach rumbled. He fell back into a sitting position, grasping his belly, "I'm starved, you wouldn't happen to have any food around here, would you?"

"Well he's plenty strong too! An with his priorities in order ta boot!" said a slightly shaken Granny Smith, after recovering from her unexpected lift, "Tell yer what, Ah'll whip up a batch of my world-famous apple pie! Git yer right as rain in no time! An -" she was interrupted by a burst of yellow light about fifty feet in the air.

From the light materialised three alicorns, one shining white with a mane that looked like the northern lights had replaced her hair. She wore golden horseshoes, a golden torque with a purple gemstone set inside it, and a tiara of, you guessed it, gold with another gemstone set in it. The second one, though not as big as the first, was still a giant compared to the regular ponies. She was coloured a midnight blue, with her mane flowing out like the night sky. Her regalia was identical to the white ones', except the jewels were replaced by a crescent moon of pure white. The smallest had a pink coat, though not as offendingly bright as Pinkie, and a striped mane of cream, pink and purple.

"Princesses!" shouted Twilight, as everyone apart from Goku lowered themselves to the ground. Twilight looked over to him and whispered, "Goku, get down. We don't want to offend the princesses!"

"Wow, you three seem much stronger than everyone else!" Goku ran up to the princesses as they landed, "Princesses, huh? So are the king and queen stronger than you?"

"And what are you, strange being?" Luna shouted, the royal canterlot voice booming, "We are looking for the one named 'Son Goku', for we have been told that he is a being of great magical prowess, as well as the personal student of one 'King Kai'." she looked over to the cowering Twilight, who had her hooves covering her ears, "Twilight Sparkle! Where is this 'Son Goku'? Can you bring him to me?"

"Son Goku? That's me! Say, how do you know my name? Same way you've heard of King Kai?" Goku addressed the princesses in the most casual tone possible.

"So you're Son Goku? I am Princess Celestia of Equestria, raiser of the sun" said the white alicorn.

"We are to be addressed as Princess Luna of Equestria, goddess of the moon." Luna bellowed.

"My name's Princess Miamore Cadenza, but just Cadence is fine. I'm the princess of love!" she raised her hoof. Goku stared at it for a second before grabbing it and giving it a vigorous shake.

"Hey! I'm Son Goku, but my friends call me Goku!" Goku beamed before rubbing his chin in thought, "Do I have to list accomplishments or something for my title?"

"That would be helpful, Son Goku." Celestia stated calmly.

"Just call me Goku." he thought for a second, "Well, I killed the Demon King Piccolo, defeated him in his younger form later. I became the first super saiyan in three thousand years, then used its' power to defeat the intergalactic warlord Freiza. I battled evil androids for the fate of the universe, then saved the Earth by using instant transmission to teleport a self-destructing Cell away from the planet. I saved the universe from Majin Buu, the eater of worlds, then I saved Earth from Baby. He was trying to revive his Truffle planet by converting all the earthlings into truffles. Then there was the shadow dragons, especially Omega Shenron. He wanted to destroy the universe." he counted off all the villains he'd defeated on his fingers, "Oh! I nearly forgot! I fought off the God of Destruction long enough for him to agree not to destroy Earth!" Goku beamed at finishing his list, glancing around as thirteen jaws slammed against the ground.

"B-buh..." Twilight blinked quickly, regaining her composure, "But how are you not dead?!"

"Oh I was. Twice, actually. But now I'm not!"

"But that's not physically possible! How can you die then die again? You have to be alive to die!" Twilight shouted, snorting out air from her nostrils.

"Oh yeah, I was brought back to life each time."

"Aaaargh! Applejack, is he lying?"

"As much as ah'd like to say he's tellin' a tall tale, I can't. He's tellin' the truth," Applejack shook her head, "Ah don't know how, but he ain't lyin'."

The three princesses blinked, finally registering what was said, before connecting telepathically, "Sister, we don't believe that Son Goku is telling the truth."

"Neither do I, I haven't even heard of this 'Earth'"

"Maybe it's from outside the veil?"

"Maybe, but do you sense any magical power coming from him, let alone enough to break the veil?"

"Maybe he's suppressing it?"

"We don't think it's possible to suppress enough power to break through the veil"

"How about we put him to the test? He seems to like to fight, how about we challenge him?"

"What sort of challenge do you have in mind?"

"How about we put him up against the strongest members of each of our guards? If he's telling the truth, he shouldn't have any problems defeating them."

"If he's telling the truth, we would be the only ponies able to hold our own, let alone beat him."

"Hah! Let him try! Unlike you, sister, We have not let our combat skills wither away! He would not stand a chance against us at full power!"

"Luna, may I remind you that we no longer allow deaths in the ring? You would have to hold back unless the situation warrents it."

"Fine. You are still as much of a stick in the mud as you were before my banishment." Celestia mentally giggles at this, "How about we make it into a tournament?"

"That's a good idea, it'll be a good way to test my new guard, as well as Goku. And, naturally, we'll enter as well."

"My guard is getting out of practice, and this will be a good way to shapen them up."

"Then it is agreed, there will be a tournament!"

The three alicorns exited their telepathy, grins on their faces, "Son Goku, how would you feel about entering a little tournament?"
