//-------------------------------------------------------// I'm just Saiyan -by Deathstar47- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Kamehameha! //-------------------------------------------------------// Kamehameha! Here I am, blind folded standing in the middle of the everfree. If anypony was to come by they would find this as quite the odd site, good thing nopony ever goes in here. Right now I can feel my mother's energy and at any moment, she will attack. Here she comes, I can sense her left hoof coming towards my face. I block it with my left arm. She advances on me with her right hoof. Again, I block. This keeps on for a while, until she stops and turns around preparing to buck me. She bucks, and using both my hands, I vault over her hind legs and land safely a couple meters from her. "Very good, young one. I expect nothing less from my son." She rhymes. "Mom, how many times have I said that the rhyming gets on my nerves?" I ask her, clear annoyance on my blindfolded face. Don't get me wrong, I love my mum, just, well, she's kind of hard to understand (write) when she does that. "Alright, but still you did a great job." "Thanks" I replied, while reaching up and undoing my blindfold. At first its a little bit darker then usual, but my eyes quickly adjust to the gloomy forest I know and love, yeah, 'love'. "Come on, Orion, we've still got to train your energy, I think you'll like what I have store." She says a sly smile on her mouth. "What do you mean by that?" I ask. To be honest, I love energy training, its fun to just walk through the forest, come face to face with a manticore and keep on flinging energy balls at his face until he decides to run away and fall of the cliff...yeah, don't worry I checked on him he seems fine.Yeah, totally fine. "You'll have to wait and see". She says her grin growing even wider. "Mum! You know I hate surprises!" Its true, the last time it happened was actually yesterday, my mum made a surprise 'party' that had me, her and that manticore, see told you he was fine, he even come to my party...and tried to eat me. But it's the thought that counts. Anyway I may of, kinda, wet myself but hey, I got this awesome sandy brown martial arts thing to wear so, it wasn't all bad. But yeah that kinda thing sticks with ya for a while, now I'm always on full alert. At every. Single. moment. In tim-hey she's leaving without me! Later "A book is my surprise? Are you trying to get me to hate surprises?" I ask. Seriously, it's like she wants to disappoint me. "This is a book-" "Thanks, I thought it was food." "-but no mere book. You see, this is a book that has a move that unicorns, even the princess herself, have tried but have never been able to use." "I care because?" "Because you, Orion, might be able to do it." She says "...what?" "I sai-" "No, I heard you its just, what makes you think I can?" I ask. I mean come on if princess celestia herself, the very one who raises the bucking sun, can't do it how can I? I mean, SERIOUSLY, bro do you even lift? Oh yeah, you know just THE BUCKING 3 TRILLION TRILLION TON BALL OF GAS IN THE SKY! "Because, Orion, you have powers just like a unicorn, but at the same time, you don't" "Huh?" "You have powers like magic, but not magic" "Oh, thanks. Yeah, you know, just how the sky is blue, but, get this, it also, at the same time, isn't!" Mom, even when she doesn't rhyme she gets on my nerves. "Watch it on the sarcasm, boy, and let me explain. A long ti-" "Is this gonna be long? Cause I got stuff to-" "Shut up and listen!" "Okay" "-long time ago there was a warrior who came here thousands of years ago. This warrior had amazing power, just like magic." "But?" "It wasn't" "Oh, thanks, that hel-ow! Why did you hit me?!" "Let me finish. Eventually this warrior chose to settle down here and he taught others his moves." "Why has no one else got my power then?" "Because, eventually he, and the others, left to fight an evil tyrant...but never returned." "So, you think I'm related to him?" "Maybe, he did have a son." "So, if that's true, I'm part pony or griffon or something?" "In a way, if it's true, yes." "..." "Okay. So, any way there's a move here that's been recorded, I think you should try it." I take a look in the book. "Huh what's play-" "Not that one!" "Okay, here, the 'Kamehameha'?" Kamehameha, that sounds...awesome. All right, what have we got? Okay, so-then move your-then focus all your power and release. "Okay, I think I get it." I stand one the grassy floor and get into the position. "Remember not to aim your moves at me like last time!" Mum shouts. Yeah, when I first trained with my energy well, let's just say I learned a few new words that day. "Ka"I stretch my arms out ahead of me, careful not to aim at mum."me" I bring my hands in and position them near my stomach."ha" I can start to feel my energy. "Me!" Its amazing, I can feel the energy flowing through me way more powerfully then when I shoot those energy balls. "Haaaaa!" As I shout I thrust my arms forward and a massive, way bigger then my energy shots, beam of blue, shoots out. The princess's evil lai- Canterlot Castle "Haaaa!" I hear a shout just as a massive blue wave, with amazing power, completely destroys the trees in the everfree. Whatever that was I have to check out now. Something tells me its related to those shouts I heard 8 years ago, as well as that power I've felt constantly getting bigger. Now's a good time to investigate. "Guards!" I shout. Not a second later the guards are in my room...well, one was already in my room but he was *cough* was 'helping me' before I heard that 'me!' Sound. "Yes! Princess!" "Tell the nobles that I needed to attend something more important." Yes! Princess!" And with that I leave. Guards "...Why was you already-" "I'll tell the nobles that celestia said ' I needed to exercise my fat flank down so I'll be a while' if you don't say anything." "Deal! But can you really-oh yeah, I can see it from here...She might actually want to do what you just said." "What? And have nothing to look at while guarding?" "...okay maybe not." //-------------------------------------------------------// New training opportunities //-------------------------------------------------------// New training opportunities I stare in complete shock at the sight in front of me. The trees, the very ground, everything in front of me, just, gone. I don't me gone as in BRB gone, no. Gone as in...well, gone, obliterated, not coming back, LOLZ I dead, gone. "Mum?" I ask, I sure hope I didn't hit her or anything. Hearing nothing I decide to look for her myself, only to find her right behind me looking shocked at what I just did. "Mum?" I ask again, she's starting to freak me out. Hearing nothing again I walk up to her and do what I always do if I want to wake her up...slap her flank. "Ow! Orion! Why did you do that?!" Yeah, that definitely worked. "Sorry, its just, you weren't doing anything but staring at where I used that move, the kamehameha." Mum then decides to look past me and, yet again, stares in shock. "Come on! Why are looking at it like that again?!" I mean, she just looked at it. Sure, I'm a little shocked at the fact that I can create at least a mile long path of destruction but at lea-. "I think its me she's looking at, young one." I turn round in shock. 'How can somepony sneak up on me like that? Not even birds can get in a mile radius without me sensing them. Standing right there is a 6ft pony with white fur and a rainbow mane flowing in the nonexistent wind. Or just princess Celestia if your to stupid to not realize her. "Y-your princess Celestia." She just smiles at me and nods. "What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in the Canterlot Castle doing...stuff?" For some reason she giggles at what I just said. "Yes, well, I was 'busy' doing something when I sensed you fire that Kai wave." Kai wave? Is that what it's called? "Okay, but how do you know it's me who did it and what's Kai?" At this she looks at my mum, then back to me. "It's pretty obvious to tell who did it, considering Zebras can't use Kai." Kai, kai, Kai, what is she talking about? "Okay, enough with the bucking about, what the hay is Kai?" She looks at me, in a...well, the kinda way a manticore you just chased of a cliff would look at you. "I will tell you what Kai is just let me make one thing clear." She smashes her hoof on the ground shattering said ground like glass." No. Swearing." "O-o-okay" I don't want to be back-hoofed by her, that's for sure. "Good, now. Kai is an type of energy anyone can access with training, its similar to magic but a lot stronger an destructive." "If anyone can use it, why can't my mum?" She looks at mum in a confused way and then a look of realization crosses her face. I'm not sure what she realized, maybe how my mum has a smaller flank then her? "Notice how I said anyone and not pony. I said it because ponies have adapted to magic and magic only, so, that means they can't learn Kai or, if they can, only a small amount compared to others." Others? "So, just stand still for a second..." while saying this she pulls out some weird little thing with a red screen and looks at me with it on her eye. "Hmm...180" 180? What does that mean? "What do you mean '180'?" She seems to be put out of...whatever she was thinking about and looks at me. "Is that your full power?" Full power? "What?" "Oh, would you mind powering up?" Powering up what do-oh, she means that! Okay, I was starting to get confused about that 180 thing. That, er, thing, must show my power. "Okay, then." I start focusing my energy letting it all flow out...was my aura always blue? Doesn't matter here's my full power. "250..." She seems to be thinking about something. "Umm, is that bad?" This seems to get her attention. "No, if anything that's great. I'm just curious how you got that strong." "Oh, well my mum is actually a black belt in fighting and has trained me" this seems to get my mum to actually start talking. "Yes, I was quite the fighter back then and have taught my son well, if I say so myself." "Did you train him in Kai?" Actually... " Hey, how do you know about Kai?" I ask. "Well, when I was young me and my si-I use to sometimes look at things in space. One day I found this and quickly found out you can measure power with it." "Can I see?" I really want to put that on, it looks awesome. "Sure, in fact, you can keep it, I've got another one back at the palace." She says why levitating the 'power reader' to me. I grab it and put it on, it looks weird, everything has a red tint now. I look at Celestia and some numbers start coming up. "...7..." What, there's no way that can be right! " Oh, allow me to power up" she closes her eyes and a golden aura starts enveloping her. "Huh, 100...200...300...now its over 4..." she stops and looks at me. "I-its...530!" She's more then 2x as-wait... I'm nearly half her strength... "Impressive, right?" I nod. "Good, now, Zebra-" "Zecora" "-Zecora, have you trained him in Kai?" "No, I only taught him how to control his power" "What about that Kai wave?" "I only showed him the book and, well, he did the rest." Celestia then turns to look at me. "Would you like to learn more moves like that?" "Yeah, just, I don't want to, you know" I point to the massive crater "do that to anything." "I have an offer, every weekend, from know, you come to the palace and learn more Kai moves." More moves? Awesome, but I can't dive right in I have to be responsible. " I'll even feed you as much as you wan-" "DEAL!" "Okay, I'll pick you up in a few days and you can train in Kai. If that's okay with you miss Zecora?" My mum nods. "Good, but from now on, um" "Orion" "Orion, your only allowed to use it when training with me or if there's danger, understood?" "Uh-huh" "Good, I will take my leave." With that she leaves. I can't believe it, I'm going to learn more Kai moves. " YES!" //-------------------------------------------------------// Flying? Well, now you see me, now you-buck. //-------------------------------------------------------// Flying? Well, now you see me, now you-buck. "Damn, why is it taking so long?" Right now I'm sitting in the massive crater I made, with the kamehameha, and waiting for the princess to show up. I've decided to wait here given the fact it's 'the most logical place to wait', as mum said. "Come on its been-" I check my PW (power reader)"-five minutes, she should be here by now!" Yes, I know I'm probably inpatient but come on, it feels like hoooooooouuuuuuuurrrrrrres. I decide to check my PW and start scanning for power signs, 'cause I'm bored. I look to my left, a power level of 4, okay maybe a timber wolf. I look to my right, 20, alright a manticore, maybe a hydra, probably won't get too close though. I suddenly see a shadow, of what looks like a bird, and look up at it. "Hmm,7? Okay that's to high for a bird but wha-" *thump* I look to the side and see a manticore looking right at me. It looks ready to pounce, just as I am, but it looks a bit to the side and it's face goes pale...and then he runs of. "Okay?" I look behind me only to see black as my face presses up against something warm....warm? "Hello, Orion. So, do you want to begin your training in Kai or keep your face up my flank?" Wait.... "WHAT!" I scre-SHOUT! Definetly shout, and back away as fast as I can, only to see....a wild Celestia with a grin on her face...really? "Sorry, but I had to see that." She says, giggling as she does. I look into her eyes and glare at her, only causing her to laugh. " Aw, you look so adorable, maybe adorable enough for me to lure Twilight outside so she can make some friends." Twilight? "Who's Twilight?" I ask, this makes the princess stop laughing, but not smiling, and look at me. "Oh, she's a young teenage made who REALLY needs to get lai-get some friends." Lai? Like lay down and get some friends? But why would she need to lay down to get friends? "Friends? Why? And why would she need to lay to get friends?" "Oh, she's kinda a shut in who only reads books, and trust me, she reads ALOT of books. As for laying, well, she has what's called virginity." " Virginity? " I ask. Is that some sort of disease. "Yes, it's...a...thing. A thing that everpony, and one, has." Why is she blushing? "So does laying down with friend get rid of virginity? If that's the case then I've lost my virginity a long time ago." "Bwahahahahahahahaha-*ahem* no, you need to lay down with some pony you love...and do things to lose it." "What kind of things?" "Thing things." "...Okay? Can we go to the castle now, I really want to learn some more Kai techniques!" I ask. I can't wait to see what I can do with Kai! "Okay, but here." She says while getting a book from...somewhere? "A book? Well, at least you didn't make a big deal out of it." "This is a book-" "You know this seems famil-" "But no mere book." She says handing it to me. "Yeah, definitely getting da-ja-vu from this. Seriously what's play-" before I can finish that sentence there's a flash and a new book is in my hands. "Okay, but wha-" "When you're older." "Okay." Funny mum said the same thing when I asked a few days ago." Flying? Flying, FFFLLLYYYINNNNG!" "Are you alright?" *ahem* "Yeah, sorry, don't know where that came from. But flying? Okay, I'll give it a shot." I focus my Kai to my legs and slowly attempt to fly, or at least levitate. I close my eyes and focus a bit harder. After feeling nothing I open my eyes. *sigh* "Sorry, Princess, I can't seem to do it." I look at her as she flaps her wings...wait...WINGS?! I look down, only to see that I'm now high In the sky and looking down at the dark Forrest known as the everfree. I look back to Celestia and see her with a smile on her face, the kind a mother would when you do something good. I decide to keep looking around, to my left I see a massive castle hanging of the mountain. The castle looks incredible and expensive, definitely expensive. A little below I see a small looking village next to the everfree, i can see some little colorful dots move around, and one really fast rainbow dot whizzing in the sky. "Whoa..." words can't even begin to explains how great this feels, how amazing it is, how spectacular I feel, it's like a dream about eating all you can eat for free, but BETTER! "Whoa, indeed. But as much as I enjoy flying, I remember I said I would teach you some more things about Kai."Princess Celestia says, snapping me from my trance. More? Damn, I can't begin to imagine the other things I can do. "Okay, hey, I'll rave ya, onetwothree Go!" I shout, shooting towards the castle. I look behind to see no signs of Celestia. "Must of gone too fast" I think out loud. "No, but you're definitely fast" I snap my head towards the voice and see Celestia flying calmly in front of me. "Bu-wha-how?" I ask. I didn't even see her fly towards me. "Where do you think the legends of the sonic rainboom came from?" She says, a sly look on her face. "Right now were going about 134 meters per second. Is that as fast as you can go?" She taunts me. "No!" I yell, using all my Kai to push my self forwards, a blue aura emitting as I do so. But to my shock she STILL flies in front of me. "203, not bad for someone only beginning to fly" she compliments. "Thanks, but I'm not loosing!" I yell. "Oh" she questions, raising an eyebrow as she does. "Yeah!" I yell, pushing my Kai even further beyond. As I do this I see the castle approaching, as well as Hearing something. It's at that moment I realize something...I don't know how to land... "Bu-" *smash* //-------------------------------------------------------// Just keep moving and you'll become a ghost //-------------------------------------------------------// Just keep moving and you'll become a ghost "Wake up....Wake up........Wake up!........WAKE UP! "Gah" I wake with a start. "Where am....I?" I look around only to see that I'm floating....somewhere? I say somewhere because I seriously have no idea where i am, the best way I can explain it is....well, I can't, it's just...nothing. "Hey, kid." I look to where that voice came from, only to see...some weird, bold, transparent guy. "Uh, hi?" I say. What, I can't think of anything else to do. "I'm Nappa, who are you?" The ghost, er, Nappa says. "I'm Orion. Umm, where am I?" I ask, maybe this guy knows? "Oh, this is your mind, and before you freakout, no, I'm not gonna catch you and try and be a Pokémon master." What? Well, okay? "So, why am I here?" "Well, try and figure it out yourself." Nappa says. Oh, know I remember. I was racing Celestia... when I....I'm probably knocked out know. "Yeah, I think I know" I say. Nappa then smiles at me. "Well, since your here, I'm going to teach you a new trick!" Nappa tells me. "Um, can I ask you something?" Nappa nods his head " a-are you a ghost?" " Yes, yes I am. I'm a ghost because Vegeta killed me. so, now I'm going to haunt him...FOREVER!" He yells at me. "Okay, but why are you here, and better yet, why are you going to teach me a new move? You don't even know me." "Oh, you see, when I died I decided to explore the universe. So, after doing this I ended up here and saw you race Princess Celestia, so i thought I would teach you some things. I also learned some things about this place and you." Wow, so, Nappa saw that race? Damn, but wait, this might be a dream. "How do I know this is real?" "You don't, but wouldn't it be cooler if it was? fellow saiyan." Okay, it would- "Wait! How do you know I'm a saiyan? My mum told me very few would know what I am! I don't even think Celestia knows what I am!" Nappa grins at this. "Oh, I'm saiyan as well...so, yeah. Also Celestia does know that your a saiyan...just saying.I also know why she wants to train you, but I'm not gonna tell you why." I stare at Nappa in shock. I can't believe it, another saiyan! Wait what does he mea- "Now!" He yells interrupting my train of thought. " I'm going to tell you all about the saiyans, until I want to bother Vegeta that is! Now, in a galaxy, far, far away..." "Oh, I almost forgot. Okay, Orion, when you was young you were flying in space to a planet...but then you hit a wormhole and got sent through time and space. Eventually, you landed here. But you were sent into the future by a good amount of years. "Um, why didn't you just wait until we got to something that's related to that?" "So, the viewers understand this of coures!" He says. What does he mean by viewers? "Anyway, in a gala-" "What do you mean by vie-" "Shut up, it's story time! And besides the author needs a way to switch POV anyway" "What do yo-" "Screw it, just change, mister author." Le Celestia POV. Thanks Nappa! "Your welcome" "Who are you talking to?" "When your older, Orion, when your older" "Hey, why did you ask my name at the start if you already knew-" "Quick change!" Ok,ok, hang on....there! Celestia's POV "I hope he will be okay." I say, while starring down at Orion's bandaged body. He's certainly lucky, nopony could of survived that. Technically he only just survived but still, he must be strong to be able to survive that. I walk over to his new clothes. They look just like his old set, with a sandy brown over shirt and a dark brown undershirt. Heck even his wristbands and belt are there. His clothes were pretty easy to fix, I mean, there turtle hermit clothes, I've had my fair show of those back in the day. Anyway, I pick up a new addition to his fashion, a dark brown headband, and carefully, with his other clothes, put them on the side of the hospital bed. At that moment I realize he still has that device on his eye. I go and pick it up with my magic. Just then Orion starts to open his eyes. At first he seems to be blinded by the light, but soon he looks up at me, then the device, then back to me. "Could I have it back?" He says. I smile and start to hand it to him. Wait. "No" I say while pulling it from him just as he was about to reach out and grab it "you can't." " Why?" He whines, clearly upset that I said no. "Because you need to get punished for flying head first into a building, even though your speed was impressive. I mean your power level rocketed up, you went 203 meters per second to 247 a seco-no! I'm suppose to be telling you off, not complementing you!" I sat to him. He then smiles slyly at me. "Oh, well...CATCH ME IF YOU CAN!" Orion shouts out, before seemingly disappearing. "I-I-I...What?" I say, confused to how he did he-well, he's obviously not as hurt as I thought. Just then I hear a sound. I turn to see Orion putting his turtle hermit clothes on. Before he jumps up, grabs the device, that was still in my grip, from me and finishing by screaming. "Worth it!" At me, and disappearing again. *sigh* " First the nobles questioning my apparent 'fat flank reducing' and now this..." "Celestia!" Blue blood says bursting through the door. "There's a-" "AND THEN THEN THERES THIS FLANK HOLE!" //-------------------------------------------------------// To the kitchen! //-------------------------------------------------------// To the kitchen! Right now I'm running down the hall trying to find the kitchen. Why am I doing this? Well... "'Cause I told you to!" Nappa says. 'Ah, Nappa, there you are.' I think. "Yeah, anyway that was totally hilarious what you did with the afterimage technique. I mean, even now I'm still laughing, did you see Celestia's face! " 'Yes! That was funny, thanks for telling me to do that Nappa.' "Your wel-DOGE!" 'What?' I quickly look away from Nappa and see a guard running at me. Thinking quickly I use the afterimage technique. "Stop right there criminal-" *woosh* "-Scum?" Looking back I see that the guard is looking around confused. 'Celestia I love this move, thanks again Nappa!' "Think nothing of it, Orion." Nappa says. "Anyway, turn left at this hallway and keep going until you see the kitchen, but be warned, it's very well hidden" 'Kay.' I turn left, doge more guards and end up in a dead end with two doors, one on the left, one on the right. "Him this could be hard..." Nappa says. I turn to the one on the right, at the top there's a sign that says: KITCHEN. I look to the left and see a sign that says: NOT KITCHEN on the top of the other door. 'Hmm, the kitchen is pretty well hidden, isn't it?' I ask turning to Nappa, seeing that he's looking at the door on the left. " I think it might be that one." Nappa says, pointing at the door on the left. "What makes you say that?" I ask out loud. 'Well, the sign says NOT kitchen, so, it obviously means that it is the kitchen. I mean, why would you have a sign that says NOT kitchen. Come on, your nearly as stupid as Vegeta." Nappa explains to me. 'Oh, ok' I think. 10 seconds later "Ok, I guess I guess it actually wasn't a kitchen." I say, turning the door knob and opening the door to the one on the right. " Yeah, sorry about that hole 'wrong door' thing." Nappa says looking guiltily at me. " Don't worry, I just wish I didn't have to knock that guard, giving the other guard a massage, out." I say looking into the kitchen and seeing the massive, marble, CLEAN, kitchen in all it's glory. "Yeah, 'massage'." Nappa says. Looking around the kitchen some more I can see multiple sinks filled with plates on one side and ALOT of draws, fridges, coolers and other things, mostly wine cabinets, on the other side. Continuing my little wonder, I decide to walk forward and see what else I can find. "Hey, Orion, look at THAT!" Nappa exclaims, pointing forward. Following his finger I see him pointing to a GIGANTIC double chocolate cake sitting on a even bigger plate at the end of the kitchen. "Nappa..." "Don't worry, I got your six." In Celestia's room. I sit on the bed, with chocolate covered all over me, staring at the fuming Celestia glaring disappointingly at me. "...Yeah, I regret nothing....Celestia?" I ask slightly scared at her right eye twitching. ".... Why?....did.....my....cake.....WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!" Celestia yells, using the 'legendary' Canterlot Voice on me. "Did someone say LEGENDARY?" Nappa asks, with a hat and some weird red and white ball in his ghost hand. 'Celestia damn it Nappa! Not now!' "Okay...can I at le-" "NO!" I yell as loud as I can, only then realizing that Celestia can't see Nappa and that I just shouted at her. "Whelp time to annoy Vegeta, see ya in the afterlife!" Nappa yells. 'Wa-' Nappa then disappears. '-it ' I think. I slowly turn my head at Celestia. Only to see her eyes are now glowing white and her mane is on fire. "BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUuUUUUuUUUUuUUUUUUuUUUUUUuUUUUuUUUUUuUUUUUUuuuuuuu-*cough* *ahem*-UUUUUUCK!" Roughly 1 minute later. "-just remember: I'm not mad that you broke my castle, that you ran from the hospital room, that you knocked on of my guards out or that you messed half my kitchen up. I'm just disappointed." Celestia says, rocking me back and forth on her wings while staring down at me, like mum does when she comforts me. Before you ask why, it's not your life so don't ask. I mean, it's not like I burst out crying when she shouted at me and now she's calming me down. "W-w-w-w *sniff* what about the cake?" I ask. Celestia then looks down at me harshly. "That, I am a little mad at." She says. But she then goes back to the motherly gaze. " Just don't eat my cake again, okay?" "O-okay" I reply. " so, are you gonna send me back to my mum?" I ask, worried that I won't get to learn any more moves. Not that I'm complaining, flying and vanishing is pretty cool, but there's one thing I want to do, that Nappa told me to do. One thing to become a 'true saiyan' as Nappa said.....DESTROY A PLANET!!!!.....Or just train at 10x normal gravity to become stronger, just like all the other saiyans. Well, besides Raditz. Also so I can see what it feels like to live on Planet Vegeta, my home Planet. That may or may not of been destroyed by some by called Friza. "No, I can't send you back like this. I need to make sure you heal." "Um, C-celestia?" I ask looking into her eyes. She smiles at me. "Yes, Orion?" She says. "C-can I still train with you?" She then frowns slightly. "No, I'm going to train you in Kai, you need to be punished." I adopt a look of fear on my face. " Not forever, just until next week." She says, smiling back down at me. "Um, not in Kai but something else." Celestia then looks confused by this. " I thought your mum taught you how to fight?" " No, um...It's actually a spell I want you to use in a training room" I say. "Well...I guess I can't stop you from training, even though you need to heal, you need to do something if your not learning about Kai. Maybe you can also meet my student, she was pretty interested in you. That reminds me, how did you do that...'vanishing' move?" She says, with a raised eyebrow. "Oh, just something I learned a bit ago. So, about that spell...." //-------------------------------------------------------// Purple Pony and Training x10...or x2...whichever works //-------------------------------------------------------// Purple Pony and Training x10...or x2...whichever works I walk down the hallway with Celestia, taking in all the weird pictures and thinking to myself, 'what?' Seriously, half this stuff is bad, so bad I can draw better things. That one there, according to Celestia, a priceless work of art...or as I see it, a bunch of wiggly lines that kind of look like a smiley face. Anyway, Celestia's bad taste of art aside, were walking to Twilight's room. Why? Well, when I asked Celestia if I could train at 10x normal gravity she, to put it simply, said no...so, now we're on are way to Twilight because, through some whining, I managed to convince Celestia to train at 2x, and since Celestia wanted me to meet Twilight, we...SHE decided to let Twilight do the spell. "Orion, we are here." Celestia says, snapping me out of my thought of how bad these paintings are. Looking up I see that we are in fact here, if the purple door with a picture of, what I'm guessing, Twilight's cutie mark is anything to go by. I look to Celestia and see that her horn is in a yellow glow, just like the door. "Now,". Celestia says. "I must warn you that Twilight will probably be a little bit of a...stick in the mud, and will probably want to get back to her studies as soon as possible. So, don't worry if she doesn't seem that excited or happy that your here, just remember that in case you feel hurt or offended in anyway". I nod my head. Celestia starts to open the door.' Man, this Twilight must be a big stick in the mud if all she cares about is her stud-WOW!' Looking inside the now open door I can see books everywhere, and when I say everywhere I mean EVERYWHERE. "Twilight?" Celestia calls out. Scanning the room. "P-princess?" looking to where that noise came from I see a purple pony, with a picture of a star as her cutie mark, walk out from...somewhere? And look at Celestia with big, wide eyes. She then quickly runs over bows and starts to ramble on about how she's sorry for the mess and how she told some...pony? Called spike to clean this up. While she's doing this I see something moving a little bit to the left and go to investigate it. "Pfft, stupid Twilight blaming me for the mess, " a small green, what I think to be, dragon says. "'Oh Spike could you please clean any mess up that I leave behind.'" He says, while mimicking Twilight's voice. "Well, okay. I just wasn't aware that you were gonna go OVER 9000 MILES PER HOUR on me like a wounderbolt!" He mumbles to himself. " Er, hey?" I say, walking towards him. He turns and looks at me in surprise and quickly drops the books that he was cleaning on the floor down in shock." Do, er, do you need a hand?" I ask. Spike then quickly walks over to me and looks at me. He's about my size, just a little smaller, with green scales and eyes. "Um, sure. Say, I don't mean to sound rude but, what are you?" Spike says looking at me in a weird way. "Oh, I'm a Saiyan, and my names Orion, Spike." I say, holding my hand out. "Huh. wait, how do you know my name?" He asks while shaking my hand with his claw. "I kind of heard you moving back there and decided to check it out. When I got here I heard you muttering to yourself." Spike then blushes and looks at me with big eyes. "Oh! Well, could you maybe NOT tell Twilight what I said?" He asks me...on his knees. "Sure, only if you get up and give my hand back" I tell him. He quickly gives me my hand back and stands up. "Orion!" I hear Celestia shout. I look at Spike and motion him to come with me. 'I guess Spike isn't a pony.' I think to myself. "Yes?" I ask, while coming back to the middle of the room. Upon coming back I see that Twilight is now standing up and has actually noticed me now. "Hello, I want you to me-" "Hi!" Sadly The Princess never got to finish as Twilight, quite literally, pounces at me. "Oh my, how exciting. An actual Saiyan, here, in my room!" She shouts at me. She then proceeds to ramble on about 'not believing I'm real' or something. Luckily Celestia levitates Twilight of me and allows me to get up. 'Well, for a stick in the mud who 'probably won't be that happy or excited' that I'm hear, she sure is excited and happy.' I think, dusting myself off. Whatever she was saying suddenly stops as she sees Spike. I can already tell she's probably going to yell at Spike about the mess. So I decide to try and make her focus on me again. "Wow, Twilight, as in The Twilight Sparkle." I say, hopping this will work. Luckily, for Spike, it does and she know looks at me. "Boy, I can't believe it! I heard your like, the best unicorn ever!" I say. Twilight then blushes at this."Well, I'm not sure about being 'the best unicorn ever' but I am pretty skilled." She says with her eyes closed. Pride clearly in her voice. "Cool!" I turn to Spike and give him a wink. He seems to get what I'm doing and runs off." Hey, Twilight." She then opens her eyes and looks at me. "I was wondering if-" "Yes." She says, interrupting me." Yes, I can preform a gravity spell for you to train with. Luckily, I've got a little bit of knowledge about them." She explains. "Come on, let's go to a training room so you can train." She says, beaming at me. I was about to ask how she knew when Celestia said something." I already informed her of what's happening. You don't have to worry." Celestia says to me. I nod and head out the room, following Twilight and Celestia. " What you did was very nice." Celestia states, walking beside me, as Twilight goes on about...something. "What do you mean?" I ask. "Why, helping Spike out of course. It was a very nice thing for you to do." "Well, I couldn't let him get told off. From what I heard it was mostly Twilight's fault." I say, looking at Twilight as she STILL goes on. "I can believe that." Celestia says to me. "-and I think that's-oh, we're here!" Twilight tells us. Looking up I see, yet again, that we are. I kind of wished we took a bit longer because I wanted to ask Celestia what she knows about Saiyans. Considering that during mine and Nappas discussion, that apparently Celestia knows a lot more about me than she let's on, she wants me to help her with something and that 530 isn't actually her full power. According to Nappa its only 1% of her actual power. But I'm getting of topic. We walk into the room and start my training. //-------------------------------------------------------// Celestia's true power //-------------------------------------------------------// Celestia's true power "997...*pant*..9-998...999!....1000!" I yell, panting and sweating as I collapse on the floor. I look up to see the awed face of Spike, the worried look of Twilight and the proud look of Celestia. Before anyone can say anything I slowly get up and look at Celestia. "H-hey...Celesti-*cough*...Celestia c-could you?" I somehow manage to lift my aching hands and point to my scouter, as Nappa told me. Apparently it's not called a power reader. Celestia nods and levitates the scouter, with a golden glow, on to her face. "As you know, your power level was 250." She states, looking at me. I nod. "Good, then you will be pleased to know it's..." Celestia says. I, as well as Spike and Twilight, lean in as she pauses, waiting to know what it'll be. She still hasn't said it yet. I lean in even more, the tension killing me.".....670." She says, a smile on her face. The whole room is silent. well, the room that I'm in and the room on the other side that the others are watching from so they don't get hurt from the increased gravity. I think for a moment, letting what Celestia said sink in. 670...670... "Yes!" I yell jumping up...and slam right down on my face from my tired muscles. "Oops, I should probably remove the gravity spell." Twilight says. I look up at Twilight and give her a 'you don't say' face. She quickly ignites her horn and gets rid of the pressure of the 2x gravity keeping me down. I stand up, more easily this time, and dust myself of. As I'm doing this Celestia, Twilight and spike walk in. Spike quickly runs over to me and looks at me in amazement. " Dude, that was so cool! I mean, you just did 1000 push ups!" He enthusiastically says to me. "Y-yeah. Usually I can do a whole lot more but...THOSE....THOSE were probably the hardest push ups I've ever done." I squeak out, still tired. "Here, drink this." Twilight says, levitating a drink to me. I happily take the drink and chug it down. "You know." Twilight starts. "You should be more careful. I know your a saiyan, and your suppose to be realy strong and all, but you shouldn't push your self so hard. Not only did you do 1000 pushups, you also did 1000 sit ups!" Twilight says. "Don't worry, Twilight. I know what he can and can't handle. Even though he's not at full health, I knew he could handle 2x normal gravity. If he couldn't, I wouldn't let him train in the first place." Celestia informs. Actually, I've been wondering about some things lately. " Hey, Celestia." I say. The Princess then turns to look at me. "I've been wondering, how much do you know about Saiyans?" I ask. Celestia seems surprised from this. "Wh-whatever makes you wounder that?" She asks. She looks a bit...worried? "Huh, answering a question with a question." Nappa says, reappearing beside me. ' Nappa? When did-never mind.' I think. "Oh, I just wanted to see what was happening. Anyway you already know all about Saiyans. Why would you ask Celestia?" Nappa questions. 'Well, I've been thinking. You said Celestia knows more than she let's on about Saiyans. But how did she even find out about Saiyans?' "I-wow. That's actually... You know, for an eight year old, you sure are smart." Nappa...complements? 'Yeah, thanks...' I think. I then decide to answer Celestia's question. "Well, it's just...strange. Strange that you know what I can and can't handle." I say. Celestia seems to be thinking this through...that or she's trying to fall asleep standing up. "Look, Orion. I can't tell you what I know about your race, b-" "Okay, but could you at least tell me how you found out information about Saiyans." I interrupt. Twilight looks at me in shock. Probably because I just interrupted the princess. Fortunately Celestia seems ready to say something before Twilight yells at me. "I found out from the device I'm wearing wearing." 'That makes sense. Didn't you say something about being able to communicate with scouters, Nappa?' "Yes, I did...I think." Nappa replies. "Alright, Celestia. But can I ask you one more thing?" I ask, hopeful that I might fill in another 'plot hole' as Nappa called them. "Yes. Yes you may." " Okay. Why exactly are you training me?" I ask. If she knows about Saiyans, she must know that we're dangerous. So why would she train me. Celestia opens her mouth. "You see-" *ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAR* "...Um, what was that?" I ask. Looking around I see the scared faces of Twilight and Spike. But Celestia...Celestia's face is downright horrified. Forget scared, her face looks like mine after Nappa told me what Playcolt magazine is. Celestia quickly turns to us and looks at us with the most serious face I've ever seen. "You three. You three need to hide, now." She say-no she doesn't say she DEMANDS. Just then we here another roar but this one is different, almost like words. Before we can do anything, Celestia gallops off.....................and of course I follow. I race after her down the hallway, seeing guards and maids run around, ever in panic or to get ready to fight..........surprisingly it's the maids that are actually preparing to fight. "Ce-Whoops, sorry. Celestia!" I shout. Even though she's just running, she's still just as fast as me flying. Celestia turns back at me. "Listen. I'm sure you have some questions, but right now, I need you to hide!" She yells back at me. Before I can do anything, she teleports away in a flash, leaving me in the hallway with all the guards and maids. Later "Damn, where is she?" I've been searching for a bit now, trying to find Celestia. I've been everywhere. The only place I haven't been is outside. 'Darn it. If only I could sense her. I still don't know how I'm not able to. I can sense everypony here but her. ' "Because magic." Nappa oh so helpfully says. 'Not know, Nappa. Aren't you suppose to be annoying Vegeta?' "Well, I was going to point out that she's fighting a dragon on hill to the north. But sin-" "She's what?!" I shout. As quickly as I can, I fly out a window and head north. What I see.....is amazing. Right there, in the air, above a hill...is Celestia and a massive, big, black dragon.....fighting. I land a few feet away and get a better look at this dragon. He has a massive body bigger than two house put together, a head about the size of 1 house and gigantic long curved horns, going from his tail all the way to his head. As I'm looking, I see my scouter a little bit in front of me. 'Oh, right. Celestia didn't take it off.' I reach down and put it on. Looking at the dragon I see his power level is....47,000! But that's stronger than Celestia... and yet....it's Celestia who's winning. I quickly look at Celestia and read her power level...50,000! What! Before I can ponder this any longer, Celestia charges an attack. The dragon does the same. After a few seconds they both release there attacks, magic and fire. Celestia's magic completely goes through the dragons fire and hits him right on the nose, sending him flying out of site. I turn to look at Celestia and see her land right in front of me. I say the very first thing I can think of. "WHAT THE BUCK!" //-------------------------------------------------------// A (kinda) sad, short chapter //-------------------------------------------------------// A (kinda) sad, short chapter I stare up at Celestia, waiting for...something. She just stares back, looking at me like she didn't just send a gigantic black dragon flying out of site. "How much of that did you see?" She asks, with a poker face, mind you. At least that's what Nappa called it. "Just a bit before you fired a magic beam at him." I reply. "Why are you here?" "What, am I not allowed to watch you fight a dragon?" I ask, jokingly. " No." Celestia says, obviously not amused. Celestia then looks at my scouter. "So, you read my power level?" She didn't say it like a question, more like a statement, a fact. "Y-yes" I say. I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit scared at how her face hasn't changed at all from her poker face. She then sighs. "Because I wanted you to be a protector." She says. "Wha-" "You asked me why I'm training you. I just told you why." She states, looking down at me. "Yeah, but why? Why do you want me to be a protector? Your like, nearly 100x as strong as me. My power levels only 670. Yours is 750,000!" "I want you to be a protector because of what you are. Your a saiyan, a proud warrior race. You easily over power anypony here. Heck your home planet's gravity is 10x stronger than ours. I mean, your power level is the equivalent of nearly 7 of my power-fullest mages, and your not even at full health, so your power level is even higher then 670." She then lays down in front of me. "But that's not it. I also know how dangerous you can be if your heart is in the wrong place. So, I decided I would make sure that you were noble, trustworthy, heroic." She says, her voice cracking." But now. Now you will probably not want me to train you for keeping secrets from you, for using you." Tears then start to flow from her eyes. "No. No I don't." I say smiling. " I'll always want to train with you no matter what. Your not a bad pony, and you certainly weren't using me. When we were flying over here, we were having fun. When I crashed, you made sure I was alright and gave me medical treatment. When you caught me eating your cake sure, you yelled, but you comforted me afterwards. Maybe you were keeping secrets from me, but you definitely weren't using me! Heck, I had to convince YOU to cast that 2x gravity spell." I say, while walking up to her and giving her a hug. " If you really were using me...you wouldn't have been so kind to me, so worried about me...Besides. I can kinda understand why you would TRY and make me a protector. But I know you would never FORCE me to." "H-how could you know that? We haven't even known each over that long." She says, sniffling. I'm still trying to understand why she's crying. "That's just how much of a good impression you've made on me. Anyway, please stop crying. It's not that big of a deal." She then hugs me back. " it's just...once I kept some secrets from someone I loved very dearly...it turned them into a......a monster." Celestia says bursting out in tears. We stay like this for a while, hugging and talking. Her talking about how wrong she was to keep things from me...and me telling her not to worry. "I think it's time for you to go back to your mother, Orion." Celestia says, standing up. I look around and notice that the sun is pretty low on the horizon. We must off been here for quite a while. "Will I still be able to train with you next week?" I ask, hopeful that everything is good now. "If you want...I won't force you." I smile at her, and use my Kai to fly up. " Make sure you tell Spike and Twilight I said hi!" I yell, preparing to take off. "Orion!" Celestia shouts. I look back at her." Wait here" she says, teleporting away. I do as she says, and wait. 'I wonder who it was that turned into a monster because Celestia kept something from them.' I ponder in my head. *poof* Celestia is back, levitating something. She passes what she's levitating to me. It appears to be a brown saddle bag. "Inside are some rings enchanted to give the effects of gravity times-ing to who ever has them on. We use to train our guards with them many years ago...but they proved to deadly for normal ponies. I believe you can, though. Since your home planets gravity is 10x as strong as ours. Use them at home to train with gravity. Just don't go straight to x10." Celestia says. I nod and take the bag. I then look at celestia one more time.....................and fly off towards home. //-------------------------------------------------------// IT'S OVER 9 CHAPTERS!!! //-------------------------------------------------------// IT'S OVER 9 CHAPTERS!!! I fly through the sky, heading back to my house. Every so often I would see a Pegasus flying as well, but I'm either to fast for them to get a good look at or they don't notice me. I continue on my way, flying at a fast pace to the Everfree Forest. As I'm doing this however, I see that rainbow blur flying around, from two days ago, doing tricks. Yeah two days. Turns out when i hit the castle i knocked myself out for a day. Anyway.Usually I would just ignore any other Pegasus. Mostly because, compared to me or Celestia, there not that fast. But this one obviously is. However, it wasn't the speed or tricks that made me stop and stare, no...it was the dragon heading towards the Pegasus. This dragon, unlike the one Celestia fought, isn't that big. It's still big of couse, about the size of Celestia. It has blue scales and two long, sharp wings that are just as blue. Acting quickly I look at my scouter, not that I need to too read energy, it's just nice to see how big or small there power level is number wise. Looking at the scouter, I see the Pegasus has a power level of 8, pretty good...for a Pegasus. The dragon, however...I don't even have to try and sense his power to feel how strong it is. Deciding to use my scouter anyway, I find out the dragon has a power level of 579...it's pretty easy to tell who will win if there's a fight. But as mum has taught me, never judge a book by it's cover...unless it's playcolt. Anyway it's possible the Dragon could be their friend. But I better make sure. Taking cover into a nearby bush, I see that there's a little cottage a bit away from the rainbow blur and a yellow Pegasus below the rainbow blur...cheering? Nah, looks like she's trying to catch flies in her mouth. Yeah, believe it or not, some Pegasus like eating flies...at least that's what Nappa said. Anyway, the rainbow blur lands next to the yellow Pegasus. It looks like there talking but I'm to far away to hear clearly. I think I heard one say Rainbow Rash? And Butter Fly? Probably there names. The dragon then lands in front of them. It takes a second for the pegasi to notice, but when they do the rainbow one, Rainbow Rash, jumps in front of the yellow one, Butter Fly. They seem to be arguing or something, it's then I notice the dragon lift it's claw up...and smack Rainbow Rash into a river flowing around the cottage. Butter Fly then dashes towards her and attempts to get Rainbow Rash out. While her back is turned the dragon prepares to fire............well, fire at her. It's then I decide to jump in. Using the afterimage technique Nappa taught me, I appear in front of his, very confused, face and uppercut him. Making his fire blow out upwards. The dragon quickly shakes of that punch and goes for an attack. Yet again, I use the afterimage to move a few meters away from him. "Wha-? H-how did-okay, you wanna fight. You get a fight!" The blue Dragon roars out to me. I quickly get into a fighting stance and prepare to fight. "Look, if you leave now you won't get hurt." I say, trying to convince him to leave. It's not that I don't want to fight, it's that mum always told me you should try and end things without a fight. But then again Nappa said you should ALWAYS take any chance at a fight, so you can become stronger. "Pah, I don't know what your on, kid. But in case you hadn't noticed, I'm a big, strong Dragon and your just a little, whiney Monk-agh!" Sadly, the Dragon doesn't get to finish his sentence, as I deliver a punch to his face. "Listen here. I. Am. Not. A. MONKEY! Oh yeah, also DOGE! I yell, charging towards his downed figure and delivering multiple punches and kicks to his face. I end my assault with a roundhouse kick to the back of his head. Leaving a crater were he landed, all the way to were he stopped sliding across the ground. Satisfied that he won't get back up, I turn and head towards the Pegasi. Upon arriving, I see that Butter Fly is patting Rainbow Rash on the back while she coughs up water. "Hey. Are you alright?" I ask. Butter Fly then nods her head, while hiding behind her pink mane, not looking at me. "Y-yes. Thanks, um, for, err, taking care o-of the Dragon." She whispers." You must be a-a-a s-strong S-stalion to be able to fight a D-dragon." She whispers. "Heh, I'm not a Stallion, I'm just Saiyan." This seems to confuse her, as she lifts her head from under her pink mane and looks at me. Upon looking at me, I see her big blue eyes go wide. "Oh my Celestia!" She yells, charging at me. This action takes me by surprise, so I don't have enough time to doge. She reaches me and gives me a massive hug. "Oh my, you are so adorable! Oh how could a small adorable little Monkey like you ever beat up a dra-" "Hey!" I yell, causing her to stop and look at me. "I'm not a monkey." I say angrily. She then smiles at me. "Oh yes, of course not. Anyway, thanks for helping me and Rainbow Dash with that Dragon." She says, smiling at me. I get out of her hug, much to her disappointment, and stare up at her. "Your welcome. I would love to stay and chat, but I need to head home. See ya!" I yell flying off into the everfree. I look back and see the shocked face of Butter fly. "Bye Butter fly!" I yell back, flying into the forest. "It's Flutter Shy!" I hear her shout back. "Heh, Flutter Shy and Rainbow Dash, eh?....Meh." I say before heading down the path of the forest. As I do this, I take notice of all the trees and bushes.....that are still as boring as hay. "Damn, why is this forest so boring?" Just then I sense something behind me. Looking at my scouter, I see that it also notices this. 290. I can already feel who this energy belongs to. I charge a blue Kai energy ball in my hand and wait for the Dragon to get close. As I keep going I feel it getting nearer. And nearer......and nearer.....almost.........there......any......second........ "DOGE!" I shout, turning around and shooting the dragon in the face with my Kai. My Kai ball connects with the dragon, sending him crashing to the ground. "Arrrghh! Your going to pay for that!" He shouts, flying out and charging a... "Oh, no" I say out loud. He's charging his fire. If I doge, that attack will burn down the entire forest. If I fly up to try and try and stop him, afterimage or not, he'll fire it......there's only one thing I can do. "Ka" I say, getting into my position, aiming at the dragon. "Ha, saying a pray, are we? Have you finally realized why you shouldn't mess with a Dragon?" He says, despite the fact he's charging fire in his mouth. "Me" I feel the Kai go through me to my hands, forming a blue ball." Ha..............Me........" The dragon fires his fire, a gigantic wave flying towards the Forrest. " HAAAAAAAAAA!" I shout, sending an even bigger wave of Kai straight at him. I see the shock on his face as my kamehameha goes through his fire, and hits him straight on, sending him flying up......leaving nothing but a twinkle in the distance. I look around and see the damage I did to the forest. This kamehameha was defiantly stronger AND more destructive as my first one. "Mum and Celestia are going to kill me." //-------------------------------------------------------// Fully recovered. Fully enraged //-------------------------------------------------------// Fully recovered. Fully enraged I sigh as I sit on my bed, watching Mum do various things. Cooking dinner, making potions, checking up on me. You know the things Mums usually do. "Muuuuuuum! Can I go out know?" I ask. When I got home yesterday and told Mum about everything....... well, she kinda freaked out and said... "Your not going out until your fully recovered." Mum says, walking past me while balancing ingredients for her potion and dinner on her back. I sigh an lay down in my bed. 'Hey, Nappa. You there?' I say inside my mind. "........" 'Well, apparently not.' "Hey! I was doing something! Oh man, when Vegeta wakes up he's gonna be pi****." '....I won't even ask.....' The last time I asked Nappa what happend......I got a very detailed description of Vegeta ripping out someone's liver. 'Anyway. Nappa, I'm ah get straight to the point.....I'm bucking bored.' I think......While watching mum fall over on the floor. I stare at her as she looks at me. "Don't help me up then!" Mum shouts at me. I just stare at her. "Hey. Say you weren't going to anyway." Nappa tells me. "Kay. I wasn't going to anyway." I say. At least I'm not that bored now. Mum gets back up and looks at me angrily...... and then a pot lands on her head. "Bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha....." I laugh out loud. Then an idea comes to my mind. 'Nappa. Could you?..' "Oh yeah, baby.." "Hey, Mum." I say to mum. She rubs her head and looks at me. I quickly look up and see Ghost Nappa, somehow, lift a pot above Mum's head. "Yes?" "DOGE!" I shout while Nappa drops the pot. The pot lands on Mums's head with a bong.........then Mum falls over with a thump. "Well, I'm screwed." I say. Looking down at the K.Oed body of my Mum. "Yep....Hey! Now you can train with those wrist things!" Nappa says while, again, picking two x2 rings from the bag. I take them from Nappa and place one on. Suddenly it feels like a force is pulling me down, but luckily I still manage to stand. I then put the other one on and this time fall on to the floor. "Well, let's begin!" I say while going on the floor and doing a push up.....and another.....and another..... 3 hours later. "9,997.....9,998.....9,999.....10,000!" Nappa shouts. I get up, take the wrist band off and put it back in the saddle bag. Happy that I just did 10,000 push ups and sit ups. "Hey, *pant* Nappa. How's Mum?" I ask out loud, not needing to think it since Mum's kinda knocked out.......kinda. "Oh, she'll probably wake up in about...10 seconds. "WHAT!" I yell. As quickly as I can, I rush around the hut. Cleaning things that fell on the floor, finishing dinner, putting Mum on her bed.....probably should have done that one before.....oh well. I put an ice bag on Mum's head, sit at the table and wait... "Mmm. Huh...h-ow!" Mum says, waking up. I quickly walk over to her and give her a hug. "Mum, are you alright?" I ask. She looks at me. "Orion? Wha-what happened?" She asks, sitting up. "Forgive me for answering a question with a question. But, Mum.....why didn't you doge?" I ask. 1 hour later. I smile happily as I munch down on my 4th plate of food. Luckily for me, Mum forgot when the pots landed on her head, so I told her that when she fell over, I told her to doge a pot but she wasn't quick enough and I've been checking up on her while finishing dinner. How I actually managed to finish Mum's dinner, as well as mine, in around 4 seconds is beyond me. "Ah....This. Is. SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHETTIIIII!" I shout out. Mum looks at me weird and I smile back awkwardly. "I know................what did you think it was. Chocolate milk?" She asks. I get up and put my dishes next to the sink...........which is also known as the toilet. Yeah. Don't worry, we don't even use the toilet. We go outside. I asked Mum about it once.......she told me the toilet shouts random things in a different language at you if you use it. True story. Anyway. I walk back into my bed and stare up at the night sky. "Hey, mum?" I say looking back at Mum. She looks up from washing and stares at me "Ye-?" "NINE!" "......Yes?" She says, while bucking the toilet. " Um. I....." I say, loosing my train of thought as my Mum....fights the toilet? The funny thing is, the toilets winning. Mum gives the toilet a hard buck and it stays still....Then slaps her across the face and runs out the door. Mum looks back at me with the most serious look ever. "Never buy a toilet from a unicorn." She says. Dead seriously. I stare at her with a face that is just like 'what?' I shake my head and begin to ask mum the question I was going to ask her before the toilet went all mortal combat on my Mum. "Why does the moon have a picture of a pony on it?" I ask. Mum smiles at me and walks over. "Well. A long time ago in a place called Equestria, there were two regal sisters......" One abridged explanation later. "-Then she was all like, 'NOOZZ. I SENDINGZ U TO DAH MOOOOOON.'" Mum finishes. I stare at my Mum and blink. "Okay...." I say, worried my Mum might have gotten brain damage from when the pot hit her. Mum then look at my bandages. She slowly begins unwrapping them from my arms and looks at my arms. "Hmm. Take your top off, both of them." She says. I do as she says and remove my sandy brown shirt and my dark brown undershirt. Mum proceeds to remove the bandages from my body and stares again. "Hmm. You seem to be healing more quicker than I originally thought." She puts my tops back on and throws the bandages in the bin. "So. Does that mean...?" I ask, hopeful it means what I think it does. Mum smiles and nods at me. "Yes, you are fully healed." Mum says. I use the afterimage technique to quickly go to the cupboard Mum put my scouter in, use the afterimage again to appear in front of mum and place the scouter on her face, all in under 2 seconds. Mum smiles at my enthusiasm and looks at the scouter. So far I haven't told mum my power level. Mostly because I wanted to surprise her. "Hmm, 370. I see that you've gotten stronger." She says. I smile back cockily. " Thanks. But that's only a fraction of my power." I say while walking out the door. Mum follows me smiling. She probably thinks I'm joking......ha. I stand out side a good distance from the hut. "Alright mum get ready!" I shout looking at my Mum. Mum just nods. Taking that as the all clear, I begin to charge my power. "420, 470, 540.....580?....650!..." She says, obviously shocked. I continue charging my power and let out a yell as I reach 100%. Looking around, I notice that during this some rocks actually rose from the ground and are know falling back on the ground. I look at Mum's stuttering face with a smile....but quickly notice that she doesn't appear to be looking at me, she's looking behind me. Turning around I notice the Forrest......... is ON FIRE! Quickly sensing for energy to see how this could of happened, I feel a certain energy that angers me. If I looked back, I would have noticed that the scouter was beeping again meaning that my power was rising. But I didn't. I focused at the fire in the Forest. MY Forest. MY HOME. Before my Mum can even say anything, I'm already half way to the location of the energy I felt. //-------------------------------------------------------// Our last hope? //-------------------------------------------------------// Our last hope? Anger. That is the emotion I feel right now as I speed through the Everfree Forest. Every second is a second I get closer to that Dragon, every second I take is a second that more animals could die and more destruction happens. When I get to that Dragon.......nothing that even hints that a Dragon was there will be there. I arrive at the point where the energy is coming from. I see two dragons, one is that blue one from yesterday, the other I've never seen before. This dragon has orange scales and red horns. Both dragons are breathing a mix of blue and orange flames on the Forest. MY Forest. Looking around I can see lots of burnt bushes and trees. But the most horrible thing I see......is the body of the dead animals. No they weren't killed. They were violently murdered. Some animals were burned to death others have massive holes in there chest. Heck some are still ALIVE bleeding out on the floor. " Well, well, well. If it isn't that MONKEY from yesterday. Hey, bro. Stop burning the forest. We've got what we came for." The blue Dragon says. The orange one then turns around to look at me. "Heh. I'm going to enjoy showing you why you shouldn't hurt my bro." The orange one says, smiling. I look at him, tears in my eyes. "Wh-why would you do this?!" I shout. The orange one laughs, making me even more angry. "Awww, is the little monkey crying?" He taunts. "We had to get you here somehow. Didn't we? Besides, I'm not sure if you noticed, but my bro is pretty beat up. Just look at him, scales missing, an EYE missing. So this is payback. At those words something inside me clicks. Something that makes me even more angry than I thought was possible. "You did all this.....killed innocent animals......burned down a Forest......JUST FOR PAY BACK!?!" I yell. "THIS IS ALL BECAUSE OF A PETTY THING LIKE PAY BACK! WHY WOULD YOU KILL THE ANIMALS! WHY DO THIS TO A FOREST! BECAUSE PAY BACK!" I shout, louder then I've ever shouted before. The orange one smirks and delivers a punch to my face.....I don't even flinch. " Wha-AHHHHHHH!" He shrieks. Makes sense, I did just brake his hand. Before he can recover I jump up and grab him by his horns. I then deliver a double kick to his face with a crack. He goes flying past the fire and leaves a massive crater were he lands. Before he can get up, I use my afterimage to appear in front of him and start pounding his face into the ground. With every punch there is a shockwave and boom. The shockwave is so powerful, it puts the fire around us out. I keep on punching him, making the crater bigger and deeper with every hit. Eventually I stop, and fly out of the hole I've made. I look down at his unmoving body.....That's not good enough. "Ka.........me.........ha!...............ME!........" Before I can finish my move, there's I bright flash and the orange dragon is gone. "Orion!" I hear a shout. I look behind me and see Celestia standing above a knocked out blue Dragon and a heavily beaten orange Dragon. "Listen! I don't know what's gotten into you. But you need to stop." She says. I just turn my body round and continue to charge my attack. Celestia notices this and moves in front of the Dragons. IN FRONT OF THEM! Just then Nappa appears in front of me. "Hey! Orion. You might wanna-" 'I'm going to kill them.....I'm going to kill them.....I'M GOING TO KILL THEM!' I prepare to shoot my kamehameha. "Orion! Don't. Please!" Celestia begs. You idiot, Celestia. Why are protecting THEM. "MOVE CELESTIA!" I shout. Celestia is no part of this. If these Dragons think that they can come here and walk out ALIVE, THEY'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING. "H-ah" I whimper out. Celestia just punched me in the gut. I look up at her, she looks back at me. She seems.....sad. "I'm sorry, Orion. I understand your angry but you can't kill these dragons. When you wake up you should of calmed down enough for me talk to YOU. Not your rage, but you." I see her horn glow. All the fire from the forest goes into her horn all the dead and injured animals get lifted in a golden glow and begin to heal. Then they run off. Even that orange Dragon gets healed. I take a look around the forest. It seems to be...fixed. It doesn't even look like there was a fire. I look back up at Celestia. "Good night Orion." She says...........before darkness takes my vision and I'm limp in Celestia's hooves. Celestia's POV I sigh sadly as Orion falls asleep in my hooves. It saddens me that such a sweet young saiyan can easily loose himself to rage. I land back down next to the two Dragons. If what's been going around lately is correct, then these Dragons must of came for revenge. I can't believe it though it's allover the news. 'Two Pegasus claim to of seen a small 'Saiyan' beat up a Dragon on his own.' Most wouldn't of believed it. But it appears others also claim to of seen Orion when he was fighting the blue Dragon. If it's true or not.....I do not know. But it appears so. I lift both of the Dragons and cast a teleportation spell on them. It should send them back to the dungeon in Canterlot. Of course this would happen now. King Drake did say he and his Dragons are going to attack. Before I blasted him with my beam of course. I could easily take him on......but if I did this no telling what would happen if I leave to fight the Dragons. Once I decided to visit my old castle for an hour. The next thing I know all of Equestria is panicking that I've been kidnapped. But most importantly, if something were to happen to me......no one would be able to rise the sun or moon. I look down at Orion. No. I can't. He's just a child. But he may just be our last hope. //-------------------------------------------------------// Power level revealed....and training stopped? //-------------------------------------------------------// Power level revealed....and training stopped? I wake up with a pain in my gut. Looking around I appear to be in a bedroom. This bedroom has plain white walls, white curtains, a wooden wardrobe and a bed, that I'm in. "Uh, what?.....how did?" I mumble to myself. I try to get up, only to realize that my hands and feet are tied up by rope, that is connected to the bed. "Ha! As if rope could......stop me?" I say, surprised. I try to break free but I can't. I CAN'T. "What? How are these-nrgh-ropes-argh-holding-grr-me down?!" I yell struggling. A hear the sound of the door opening. Looking around, I notice that I can't see a door anywhere. Probably because its behind me. I hear the sounds of hooves clopping as somepony walks in and closes the door. "Hello, Orion." Celestia says to me. I try and look at her but sadly I can't. " Hey, Umm. Would you mind letting me go?" I ask. There's a silence in the air for a while, then I hear the sound of hooves as Celestia moves in front of the bed. "Do you remember what happened last night?" She asks. I look at her, confused. Then I realize that I actually can't remember that much. " A little. I...remember..... a fire......a-and two Dragons....then....nothing...for a bit....next I see you and after that, everything goes dark." I say. Looking at her I see that she seems to be...relived? " That's good.....but I need to tell you something." Celestia says. She sighs and walks over to my face. "Last night the Forest was set on fire by two dragons...you nearly killed one of them." She says. I look at her in shock. I would never kill someone or somepony. "By your face, I can tell that at that time you might of been too angry to realize what you were doing." Celestia says. "Which is good." "G-good? I nearly killed a Dragon, and that's good?" I ask. "No. It is just.....for a second there I thought you might of..." Celestia shakes her head. "Never mind. Here, let me get you out." Celestia says, freeing me from the ropes. "What was the deal with the ropes?" I ask "They were magically enchanted, so that you couldn't break them. I did it myself. As for why they were on you.....I just wanted to make sure you weren't still angry and decide to go out on a revenge quest or something." Celestia says, as I get off the bed. "What happened to the Dragons?" "After healing the orange one, I told them both to leave, and to never come back again....or else." Celestia says, creeping me out. We walk out the room and there, standing in the hallway, is my mum. "Oh, Orion. I'm so glad your alright." Mum says, while running up and hugging me." Celestia knocked round and told me what happened. I can't believe you actually..... nearly killed a DRAGON." She says. "As impressive as it was, they were only teenagers. A fully grown Dragon would be much harder to kill." Celestia says. I leave my mothers hug, and take notice off the scouter on her face still. "Hey you've still got the scouter on." I say, pointing at it. "Ah, I never told you your power level, did I?" She asks. "Well, just to let you know, it was 1,440" Mum says. "I guess it's with all that training you and Celestia did." "Zecora. Is it alright if I can talk with you for a second." Celestia says. Mum nods and walks off with Celestia. Celestia looks back at me....sadly? "Huh. Wounder what they're doing?" I say out loud. 10 minutes later. Mum and Celestia walk back to where I was. I look at Mum and Celestia. Celestia seems to look sad for some reason. " Celestia?...Why do you look sad?" I ask. Celestia looks at me with a poker face. "...I'm afraid I can no longer train you, Orion." Celestia says, looking down. "Wh-w-what? What do you mean?" I ask, saddened that I can't train with Celestia anymore. "....I've learned from those Dragons that......we have a war on our way." Celestia says. I look at her surprised. " W-war. Then let me help! You said you wanted me to protect Equestria." I say. "This is why I can't train you......I'm worried you'll go out and try to fight them.....your to weak." "Then train me." "....I can't....I need to go out and protect Equestria. Besides, your to young to fight in a war." Celestia says. I look at her....and bolt away as fast as I can to my house. Celestia's POV I sigh as I watch Orion bolt out the door. "I wish you could help.....but your not ready yet." I say out loud. It really breaks my heart. He looked so devastated. Hopefully once I beat the Dragon King....IF.....I beat the Dragon king, I can train him again. "Was that really wise, Princess?" Zecora asks. I look at her and sigh. "I'm not sure..." "I wasn't talking about Orion, but about your plan." Zecora says. "...Sadly it's the only choice I've got. I know hundreds and thousands of my soldiers will die...but it's that or we live with Dragons ruling over us." I say. "Do you know what Orion is doing?" I ask Zecora. She laughs. "Probably sleeping, eating or walking around the Forest." Zecora says. I smile at her. "Anyway, a carriage will be ready in 2 hours. Until then, maybe you can talk with my student. She's very eager to learn things, and I'm sure you can teach her some things about Zebras." I say. Zecora smiles and nods. Then walks of. At Zecora's hut. "Damn it! " I say, trying to push up. I've thought long and hard about what Celestia said. I've decided to go straight to x10 Gravity training. Surprisingly, it wasn't that hard to stand up or move. I'm definitely slow but I can still walk and run....I just can't do 1,000 push ups or sit ups. "Hey. Maybe you should take a break. I know your trying to prove that your strings enough to fight, hell, you've done 478 push ups and 678 sit ups. That's definitely more than raditz has ever done." Nappa says. I turn to look at him a frown. "Th-thats not good enough. I-i n-need......to...get.s-stronger." I say, gasping for breath. "Look, Nappa. From now on I'm going to keep training with gravity until my power levels at least 20,000" I say. Nappa looks at me and smiles. "Good. A true Saiyan never sits around when there's a fight. Okay. In a few days a Saiyan named Goku will become a Super Saiyan. He's suppose to land on a planet and learn the Instant Transmission. I might be able to pull some strings and make him land here so he can train you." Nappa says. I look at him in shock. If what he says is true......I might be trained by a Super Saiyan. A SUPER SAIYAN "How?" I ask. "Cause I'm Nappa...'nuff said. Anyway. You need to sneak into Canterlot tonight and steal a certain book from the library in the castle. Before you ask why, we need it to send Goku to the planet he's suppose to go to. We can't let him fight. If he does....bad things will happen. I'll tell you more tonight. But for know....." "Prepare. Your going to need to. //-------------------------------------------------------// Metal Gear Orion //-------------------------------------------------------// Metal Gear Orion "Alright we'll go over the plan again." Nappa said, floating in front of me. Right now we're in the royal gardens at night, hiding behind a strange statue that's called a Dra...err....Draconess? No....um......You know what never mind. I look at Nappa angrily. We've been through this 10 times. If that's not enough, he made me wear this strange tight black costume with an eye patch. "Okay." I say, annoyed. "I run across the gardens, get to the wall. Then scale the wall, carefully so nopony sees me. I find the floor with the library in it, use this" I point to a cardboard box that's strapped to my back. "To sneak past the guards in the library. Then finally, I grab the book and fly out through a window to the city below and make our way home, wait for the Super Saiyan to appear and train with him." I tell Nappa in a whisper. I look up from my hiding place and see multiple guards in golden armor....well, guarding. I look some more trying to find a blind spot. I know what your thinking ' why u no fly?' Well, there are multiple Pegasus guarding the air. Anyway, I continue looking. Just then, the guards face away from a statue, that just so happens, to have a wall behind it. Using this to my advantage, I silently run across the garden, looking at the guards for any movement. I make it to a bush, just as the guards appear to be turning around. Thinking quickly I hide in the bush. I sit in the bush, waiting for them to look away. Just then I get a great idea. Looking around my bush I see a pebble to the side. I take a quick peak and see that no one will notice me. I grab the rock and carefully throw it....accidentally into a guard's head. The guard gets knocked out and falls to the floor with a thump. Luckily, the guards all go to investigate. Leaving an empty, unguarded path. I jump out of my bush and, with help from the afterimage technique, reach a wall. I look behind me and see the guard that I hit with a rock is now up, looking around for the one who threw the rock. I turn back to the wall and fly along side it, slowly. I reach a window and look through it. 'Nope' I think to myself. I look into another window, same as before. I sigh. 'This will probably take a while.' 10 minutes later I fly to the next window and finally see the big, wooden library door. I take a look and see two guards in front of the door to the library. I sneak around a corner, and by that I mean use my afterimage, and pull the box from my back. I take a quick look at the top of the box, and see a message saying: PLEASE DELIVER TO THE LIBRARY. P.S DON'T LOOK INSIDE, PRIVATE PROPERTY. I let out a whistle and hide in the box. I can sense the guard walk around the corner and stop in front of the box. He takes a long look at the box and sighs. "Orion. You do realize you don't have to sneak into the library." The guard says in a deep voice. I get out of the box and look at him, smiling awkwardly. "Er, okay." I say. The guard looks at me and walks towards the library door, opening it for me. I walk awkwardly over to the door, embarrassed that I got caught. The guards, however, just look at me with a poker face. I reach the door and take a look inside. "Orion." The guard says in a gravely voice. I turn to look at him. He then looks me in the eye and smiles. "Nice throw, that guard has always slacked off when it comes to night patrol. I don't think he will now, though." I smile and nod. Then walk through the library door. Entering the library, I see multiple bookshelves all over the place. I take a look around and see a section of the library that looks-well, feels-strange. I take a look behind me and see that the door is closed. Smiling, I swiftly make my way over there and look. I keep looking, looking for a book that can, apparently, make what ever you wright happen. The only rules are: you can't make yourself stronger, harm or in anyway effect someone else, e.g move them into a volcano, fill there house with water, kill them without there permission. Finally you can only use this once per person. At least that's what Nappa told me. I continue looking, when a book falls down. I pick up the book and see.....a cook book. I pick the book up and place it back where it fell. Don't ask me why a cook book is in the same shelf as 'spells to go back in time' it just is. I look some more and finally find it. Just then the door suddenly opens. I then realize that I've been here a while and if anypony notices this book missing, knowing I'm here......I'm screwed. I grab the book and run......into Celestia. I look at her and she looks at me and the book in my hands. "Orion. Why are you up in the middle of the night with a cook book?" Celestia says, raising an eyebrow. I quickly look down and see that I accidentally grabbed the cook book. I look at Celestia and smile. "Well, you know. Taking a bath with a cook book. I mean what else do you do in a library? Read? Ha." I say with sarcasm. Celestia just looks at me, glaring. "O-okay, okay. I was trying to find a book, so that I can convince a Super Saiyan to train me so I can fight in the war." I say, scared by Celestia's glare. "Orion, I already told you, your not fighting in the war." Celestia says angrily. I look down and sigh. "Hey, this is probably a bad time but......I can't actually bring Goku here now.....I tried but the.....guy up stairs said that could ruin the story and kill us all." Nappa says. I sigh again. 'There goes my chance to train with a Super Saiyan.' I think. I look up to see Celestia holding a bag. She looks at me smiling. "Orion... I thought it through and realized that I might not be able to handle all the Dragons." She says, handing the bag over to me. "So I want you to stop any dragon that makes to Equestria while I'm away fighting the Dragons." I look up at her in shock. "I-I thought you didn't want me fighting Dragons." I say stunned. " I'd rather you didn't. But I remember saying that I wanted you to protect Equestria. So in those bags are some 'special' things that will make you stronger." Celestia says. I look into the bag and see gravity rings...going up to 100x. I stare at Celestia in shock once more. "I-wha-I haven't even perfected 10x yet." I say. Celestia smiles. "Don't worry, you have around 1 year before the war starts. That should be enough to raise your power level around.....30,000." She says smiling. I run up and hug her. "Thank you! Thank you! THANK YOU!" I shout. Celestia giggles. "Don't worry. But if you come across a Dragon stronger than you.....run. Run to the castle and get some guards to handle it. I don't want you getting hurt." She says, nuzzling me. I smile. Celestia stops nuzzling me, and smiles down at me. "You would probably want to head home now." Celestia suggests. I smile and nod. I reach a window and fly out. "Orion!" Celestia calls back. "Nice throw!" //-------------------------------------------------------// Perfecting x10 //-------------------------------------------------------// Perfecting x10 I push up, sweat dripping from my face. I go down and up again, a lot slower this time. I can feel the cold air, cooling my hot aching body. I pant and go to the ground again. I use everything I have left to push myself up. "1000!" I scream into the air. I fall to the ground, sweating and panting like a dog. I stay like this for a while, waiting for my body to stop aching. After a while, my body stops aching. I then proceed to stand up and walk back home, with the 10x gravity ring still on. I walk through the forest, passing a pack of timber wolves as I do. The wolves pay me no mind and walk off. I've always wondered why they never seem to attack me, but I never think about it to much. I reach the my destination, a small hut. I knock on the door and wait. You might wonder why I would knock on my own house. Well, the last time I didn't, I walked in on my mum making out with a Chimpanzee. Granted at that time I kinda got sprayed in the face by some strange flower, but I'm not taking any chances. The door open, revealing a Zebra. "Hi, mum." I say walking into the hut. "Hello, Orion. How was you training?" She asks. I walk over to my bed and sit on it. "It was great, I can now walk and move just as fast as normal." I say cheerfully. " That's great. You've been training for a 3 weeks now with that ring on. Heck you've had that ring on for ever since Celestia said you can protect Equestria while she's away." Mum says. I smile. "Yep! Tomorrow I'm going to start training at 15x." I say, watching mum finish lunch. She sets the plates down on the table and begins to eat. I get off my bed and eat lunch. My lunch is: 3 plates of fruit and vegetables, 2 plates full of manticore meat, (Don't judge me, it tastes delicious) and 1 plate of cake that Celestia sends round every week. It's her way of making up for the fact she can't train me with Kai. I finish my dinner quickly and head to the door. "See ya, mum. I'm going round Flutter Shy's." I say, walking out the door, grabbing my scouter from the side as I do. "Okay. Be back before seven!" My yells from the table, still eating her food. I exit the house and fly up into the sky. I quickly spot Flutter Shy's house, and make my way there. I always enjoy going round her place. She does as well. I land at the door and knock. After a few minutes the door opens up, showing Flutter Shy. "Um..wh-oh hi, Orion!" She says, smiling. "Hi, Flutter. Do ya mind if I come in?" I ask. She walks out the house, revealing two saddle bags on her side. "I would love you too...but as you can see I'm going out to by some stuff." She says. "That's okay. Hey, I know. I'll come with you. I've always wanted to go to Ponyvile." I say. I've never been to Ponyvile before. I fly over it sometimes, but I've never been in it. Actually, besides Twilight, Flutter Shy, Mum, Spike and Celestia, I've never met anyone else. "Oh...well, if you want to." Flutter Shy says. I hop on her back and sit down with my legs round her waist. Flutter Shy gets what I'm doing and walks towards town. "Hey, Flutter. What's it like in ponyvile?" I ask. Flutter Shy sometimes brings it up sometimes, but never talks about it that much. "Oh. It's a wonderful place, everypony's happy, nice, kind....even though I'm a little shy, everypony seems to like me." She says, as we walk. "Do you think they'll like me?" "Oh, of course. Who WOULDN'T?" She says. We reach the town and walk through. At first nopony notices me or Flutter Shy, but they quickly turn my way they all look at me in confusion. But I do here some mares 'awwww' at me. Suddenly, a pink pony comes running at us as speeds so fast, she might as well be using the afterimage move. "DOGE!" I shout. Flutter Shy jumps in surprise and manages to jump over the pink pony. We land on the ground, only for the pink pony to appear in front of us. "Hi Shy!" She says happily. "O-oh. Hi Pinkie." Flutter Shy whispers. "That's a cute monkey you've got there." The pink one says. Petting me as she does. "I'm not a monkey." I say. The pink pony gasps. "OHMYGOSHFLUTTERSHYYOUTAUGHTAMONKEYHOWTOTALK!" She Yells. I'm not sure what she said, but I heard monkey. "Oh, no. He could already talk. And he's not a monkey, Pinkie. He's just saiyan. The pink pony, named Pinkie, gasps again and rambles on about something. I think she said something about 'seeing what the author did there.' Through all this, Flutter Shy manages to get all the stuff she needs and we are now at her house.....as well as Pinke. "-PARTYSOBETHEREATEIGHTBYE!" She yells, running off into the sunset.....only to run into a sighn post that has a picture of a sunset on it. I shake my head at the pony. "So, are you going?" Flutter asks. "Oh. The party? Maybe...I'll have to ask mum." I say getting of Flutter Shy's back and flying into the air. "Oh, okay. Just know that Pinke will invite ALOT of ponies........I found that out the hard way." "Okay! If I'm not at the party, tell Pinkie it was past my bed time!" I yell, shooting off towards my home. I've got to ask mum something. //-------------------------------------------------------// The red and black alicorn OC //-------------------------------------------------------// The red and black alicorn OC I wake up in my bed, the party from yesterday still on my mind. I remember playing all the games with everypony. I never actually won a game, but I had fun. I turn to the side and see that the sun is just rising. I sigh and get out of bed. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I can see that mum is still asleep. Deciding not to wake her up, I grab my brown bag of rings, grab a small snack for breakfast (25 apples), put my scouter on and head out the door. I close the door behind me and begin my walk through the forest. The forest it's self is pretty dull and boring. The only time something interesting happens, It's usually a Manticore. But it's not all bad. It might look dull but there are lots of interesting plants around. Granted I can't touch most of them, unless I want to end up poisoned, but they look nice. Besides, I know what I can and can't touch. I continue my walk, nearing the little mountain I like to train on, when suddenly I hear some rustling. I turn to the bush I hear the rustling in and wait. I decide to use my power of sensing to see if I can tell what it is. 'Let's see...hmm....yeah, it's a Manticore.' I think to my self. Suddenly, out from the bushes, a Manticore leaps out and let's a roars.....then it notices me and stares. I stare back at it, waiting to see what it'll do. The Manticore looks at me and turns around to walk back in the bush. 'Huh....I could almost hear him say 'NOPE'.' I think. I look back to the bush and notice that the manticore is just sitting there. I shake my head and fly up to the mountain. " Why is it always manticores?" I ask my self. I reach the top of the mountain and place my bag on the floor. "Alright! I guess it's time to practice at 15x normal gravity." I say to my self. I reach into the bag, only to notice a book with a note on it. I grab the book and read the note. Dear Orion,                     This is the book that I showed you when you first preformed the 'kamehameha'. I've been looking through it and have noticed another move you might be able to use. I've marked the page for you, so you don't have to worry about finding it yourself. Love mum. P.S Stop knocking at the door. I did not make out with a Chimpanzee. I look at the note and then the book. "Huh, cool." I say. I open the book to the marked page. The page shows a picture of a chubby, short blue guy. Apparently his name is King Kai." Alright, let's see here. Ok, the kaio-ken. It makes everything heightened: power, speed, even hearing and vision is improved." I read out loud. I'm starting to like this technique. "Warning: you can only use it for a short amount of time. If you use it any longer.... it could destroy your body." I read. I knew it couldn't be that easy. I grab a 5x ring from my bag and put it on with my 10x ring. Surprisingly, I don't fall flat on my face, but I can still feel the pull of gravity. "Okay. I'll practice with 15x....and then I'll try out this 'kaio-ken.' 1000 press ups and sit ups later. I stare at the book one more time, reading the instructions of how to preform the kaio-ken. For some strange reason, I actually got use to 15x gravity surprisingly quick. Anyway, it says the guy who invented the move can't even do it himself...which is kinda weird. Anyway, I get into position and relax myself. "Alright....I can do this...KIAO-" I begin to say. But before I can, I feel a MASSIVE power coming my way. I stop what I was about to do, so I can sense this power. Closing my eyes, I begin to focus. 'This power......it feels familiar...' I think. I open my eyes and see a black and red blur coming in my direction. I continue looking at it, when suddenly my scouter goes of. "....8000....huh?....now it's......over nine!" I say to myself. The blur lands a few meters from me, revealing a familiar face. The blur stands up, revealing a black coat and red mane. The blur spreads it's wings out and lights it's horn in a red glow. "Well, well, well. If it isn't that little MONKEY from yesterday. You didn't actually think an attack like that was enough to keep me down, did you?" He says. "Well, actually I kinda did." I say. The stallion looks at me in surprise and then laughs. "Oh, a wise guy. Ok. Anyway, now that I'm back...I'm going to show you just why you shouldn't mess with Shade!" He shouts. Battle begun. Status............downloaded. Orion: power level.....680 Shade: power level.....over 9000 (9001) Chance of winning.....3% Shade glares at me, then fires a blast of magic from his horn. Luckily I doge to the right.....right into Shade as he teleports there and bucks me into the ground. I groan and get up. I then take my two rings off. Shade just laughs. As he laughs I begin to charge my power. I quickly reach my full power. "Now I'm serious!" I yell. Status report... Orion: power level...10,200. Chance of winning.... 87% I rush towards Shade, catching him by surprise, and devices a bunch of kicks and punches, making him stand on his two hind legs. I finish the attack by charging a Ki blast in my hand and launching it right into his stomach. Shade goes flying off the mountain, straight onto another mountain below. I follow him and land on the mountain. " Gah, where is he?" I say, looking around. Just then I sense him coming up from behind. I prepare my afterimage and wait for him to strike. "Take this!" Shade yells, punching my afterimage. Before he can even react, I appear above him and kick the back of his head, flinging him upwards into the air. I continue my attack, appearing in front of him and kicking him to the right. I appear in front of him again and try to kick him to the left. Sadly, he teleports behind me before the attack can hit and bucks me.....my afterimage, that is. I appear behind him, as he turns around, and kick him right in the jaw, sending him flying left. Deciding to finish this, I appear above him and use both my legs to kick him to the ground, leaving a crater as I do so. "If you give up now and leave, I won't have to hurt you anymore." I shout down at him. It's wierd, a part of me wants him to say no so I can continue beating him up. It's like that feeling when your hungry and you want to eat. Shade gets up from the crater and glares at me. "As if! I'll finish this in one attack, my best attack!" He yells. Shade begins to charge an attack through his horn, a massive red glow forming around it. "Shadow.....BARRAGE!" He yells, sending a barrage of magic bolts at me. "Ha! To think, that's your best move!" I taunt. I begin to charge up my Ki. 'Alright. I've never done a barrage before. So I'll need to do this, just to be sure.' I think. I begin to charge my Ki, with the barrage still on it's way. "KAIO-KEN!" I yell, a red aura engulfing me as I do. Status...... Orion: power level.....15,300 Chance of winning.....94% "Hey! You stole my aura!" Shade yells down at me. I ignore him and shoot a barrage out quickly, just before his reaches me. We begin to shoot Ki and magic blasts at each over, painting the sky in explosions of red. "Ha!" I yell, putting more power in my barrage. Quickly, my barrage begins to head down on him. To his credit, Shade still continues to fire his magic at my barrage. His efforts are futile, however, as my barrage quickly over powers his. I continue firing, covering the mountain with explosions. "Alright..... that should be it." I say, stopping my attack. I look down and see the beaten and bloody body of Shade trying to get up. "Y-you.....will....p-pay for this!" Shade yells at me. Before I can make a comeback, he teleports away. I land on the ground where he once was, and look at the destruction I caused. " Well, at least it wasn't the mountains I train on." I say, clapping my hands together. "OOOOOWWWWWW!" //-------------------------------------------------------// Shopping and-CELESTIA DAMN IT, YOU AGAIN? //-------------------------------------------------------// Shopping and-CELESTIA DAMN IT, YOU AGAIN? I walk down the busy streets of ponyvile while looking at the long list mum gave me. Apparently mum needed some items for potions and stuff but the things she needs...well, she can't get them in the forest. She was about to head out to buy them from ponyvile when I came back from training at 20x normal gravity. She quickly decided that I should go get the things she needs since I don't do anything helpful around the hut. Which is totally untrue, I do lots of things.......Ok I don't. But still, I train everyday, so I don't think I should be doing this. But mum persuaded me (she said she wouldn't make me dinner tonight if I didn't) and now I'm shopping for her. I sigh and look around the market. The market is busy, which makes sense it is a market after all, and crawling with ponies. "Damn. How am I suppose to find.....a jar of apple jam if I can't even see." I say to myself. I then face palm at my stupidity." Duh, I can fly." I say, leaping into the air and floating above everypony. I take a look around, trying to find somewhere to buy Apple jam, when I notice Apple Jack selling some apples. 'Apples? Oh yeah, she told me she works on an apple farm, after I came back to the table with more cupcakes, at the party.' I think to myself. I then notice that she just so happens to be selling just what I need, apple jam. I smile and float down so I'm eye level with her. "Hey, AJ." I say. Apple Jack jumps back in surprise. "Whoa there, Orion. Ya scared me." She says, landing on the ground. Yeah when I said she jumped back, I meant she literary jumped. I smile sheepishly at her. " Sorry, I forgot that it's not common for somepony to fly without wings." I say, apologizing. Apple Jack smiles at me. "Don't cha worry 'bout it. Any who, why ya 'er?" AJ asks. I smile and hold my list out for her. She looks at list and chuckles." So ya shopping? Huh, didn't think of ya for the type to buy make up." AJ jokes. " No that's for mum....actually now that I think about it, why the hay would mum want make up? It's not like she's seen by anypony often." I ask myself. I shake my head and look at Apple Jack." Anyway, mums weird desire for make up aside, I'm here to buy some apple jam." I announce. " Don't cha mean apple sauce?" AJ questions. "Potato, Patato. The main thing is I need to buy it, so how much." I ask. Apple Jack grins at me. "Well, usually ya be lookin 'round 'bout 4 bits. But since is YOU, 2 bits." AJ says. I look at AJ in disbelief. " Wow, really. Damn....thanks AJ!" I say, handing her two bits. AJ smiles. "Think nothing of it, sugar cube. And m'ght I suggest going ta Rarity for make up." She says. I nod and fly up. "Thanks AJ!" I shout out to her zipping off to Rarity's. I then realize something.....I don't know where Rarity lives. "Buck!" 50 minutes later "Thanks for the slug slime, Flutter. You have no idea how awkward it was asking around for slug slime." I say, grabbing a container full of slug slime. I put the slime in my shopping bags and smile at Flutter Shy. "Oh, it was no problem, Orion. Say, why does your mum want all this stuff?" Flutter Shy asks, pointing to the bags I'm carrying. " Well, my mum's kinda a potion maker, so she'll probably use this stuff to make potions." I say. "Why would she use hay fries in a potion?" "Um, not all of it is for potions, Flutter. She'll probably eat all the food-y stuff. Oh, and before you ask why there's a little black tuxedo in this bag, it's because Rarity wouldn't leave until she made me 'dashing'." I say, mocking Rarity's voice. " Anyway, I'm going to head hom-WHY IS PONYVILE EXPLODING!?" I shout, gawking at the village. " Oh, don't worry, that's normal around here." Flutter Shy says. "Oh, and I'm going to go hide now. I don't really like explosions." Flutter Shy says, sprinting into her door and locking it. "...NORMAL?" I shoot to myself. 'Damn this town has issues. Anyway, I should probably go check it out....right after I drop these bags off.' I think to myself. 10 seconds later. "Hey, mum. I'm back." I say, dropping the bags at the front of the door. "Ah, thanks, Orion. Now if you-" "Yeah, mum. I'm a let you finish, but Is it alright if I go to ponyvile to check out the explosions? Yeah? Kaybyethanks!" I yell, slamming the door as I fly through the forest. Another 10 seconds later I land in the middle of pomyvile, looking at all the destruction caused. Miraculously, the only damage caused were a few large craters here and there. I continue looking around, trying to see what could of caused this. 'This doesn't make any sense, villages don't just explode..... maybe if I try sensing around, see if I can find the one who's responsible for this.' I think to myself. I begin sensing when I feel familiar energy, as well as a new one. "I should of guessed it was you, Shade." I say turning around. There, a couple of meters away from me, is Shade and.....somepony else. This pony is is the exact same color as shade and is an alicorn. The only difference is that she's a mare. "So your that little MONKEY my brother was talking about. I must say.....I expected better." She says. I glare at her. "Oh, and what's your name? Unoriginal the character?" I taunt. She growls at this. Yes, growls. " For your information, it's Ruby." She says, tossing her mane to the side. "Anyway, were not here to attack verbally, were here to attack physically." She states. I grin and take my 10x ring off. "Alright, it's time to duel!" I shout. Battle info. Orion: power level 13,140. Ruby: power level 9,001.                                                           Total: 18,002 Shade: power level 9,001. Chance of winning 41% Ruby and Shade both dash towards me. I stand my ground, waiting for them to reach me before I use my afterimage. Shade reaches me first and attempts to right hook me. I use my afterimage to appear behind him. Before I can attack, Ruby grabs me in a full nelson, leaving me open for an attack. Without when turning to look, Shade delivers a hard buck to my stomach, knocking the air out of me. "You didn't really think I would fight you without finding a way past that technique of yours, did you?" He says, turning around to look at me. Deciding to use this to my advantage, I use a new move I've been practicing. " Super explosion wave!" I shout out. I release all my Ki, hitting them with my super explosive wave. They both her sent back flying, noticeable cut and marks on there body, each dripping with blood. They both recover mid fall and charge power through there horns. "Double shadow barrage!" They both shout out, sending a barrage of magic from my left and right. Without having enough time to do anything else, I pit my hands up and block. The barrages reach me, sending pain through my body with every magical hitting me. I manage to keep my block up as they stop, a large area of smoke covering me me as they do. I quickly use this smoke cover to think of a plan. 'Alright. Together there strong, if the pain is anything to go by. So I need to split them up.....but how?' I think. The smoke begins to fade away. Thinking quickly I use the afterimage to appear in front of Ruby, surprising her. I use my Ki strike move on her, quickly hitting her with a bunch of kicks and punches, making her stand on her hind legs. I was just about to send a Ki blast into her stomach, when I felt Shade coming my way. I smirk and prepare the afterimage. Just as he's about to hit me, I vanish, making him hit Ruby in the stomach. Before he can react, I fling a fully charged Ki blast at him, knocking him flat. I smirk and and jump a few meters back from them. "Well, what do we have here? Ah, yes. It's the ultimate pair of unoriginal ponies all in one! They even suck as bad as it says on the back of the box." I taunt. They both get up and glare at me. I can tell they are pretty worn out. I'm surprised that can even get up after that. They have more cuts than before, the cuts they already had have gotten bigger and are bleeding more rapidly. The sight makes me sick......get I can't help but enjoy as they struggle to even stand. It makes me feel.....complete, fighting them and watching them suffer. I think Nappa mentioned something about Saiyan's natural instinct. I do miss Nappa. Well, at least he's alive again now thanks to the dragon balls or something. "Y-you. Are. Going.....t-to pay for that!" Shade shouts at me, glaring as he winces at the pain. I smile and charge a barrage in my hands. "Ha! Tell you what. If you SOMEHOW survive this, I just might let you leave and continue your miserable life elsewhere." I say. Shade and Ruby both look scared as I finish charging my attack. Ruby then starts to actually cry. Not the cry with all the noises and such, the cry where your silent and tears drop from your eyes. It's this what makes me realize what I'm doing.......I'm trying to kill them. They don't deserve this. Sure, they might have tried to kill me, sure they caused havoc around the place. But besides acting like jerks and hurting me......they really haven't done anything wrong....and I was just going to kill them. I know Saiyans are destructive and cruel... but this....I never thought I would become anything like this. I sigh and put my hands down, SLOWLY and CAREFULLY releasing the Ki, so I don't cause anymore destruction. I look at there confused faces and glare at them. "I'm giving you one, ONE chance to leave here and never EVER comeback. If you do comeback.....for your sake I hope you have become better ponies by then." I say. The two of them stare moth agape at me. They don't say anything, they just light other horns and teleport away, leaving me alone with my thoughts. I stand in the middle of Ponyvile, with all the massive craters caused by Ruby Shade and I. Only one thought is going through my mind. 'Was I really going to just kill them?" //-------------------------------------------------------// 8 Months until the war and apparently you can't simply buy toilet paper //-------------------------------------------------------// 8 Months until the war and apparently you can't simply buy toilet paper "Kiao-ken!" I shout, slamming into a mountain. The effect is instantaneous. The mountain shatters, sending large shards of it flying everywhere. I smile and look up at Celestia. "See, told you I could help clear the mountains!" I say to her. She fly's over to me, looking worried. " Are you alright? If you don't feel like doing this, you can stop if you want." She says. I chuckle. " Yes, Celestia, I'm fine. Anyway there's only like 3 mountains left." I tell her. Celestia has been preparing a lot for the upcoming war against the dragons. She decided to build a command post to help plan for the war, as well as keeping some guards in it while she goes to the war. Sadly most off the places she wanted to put one would be either too close to civilians or too close to the boarder. She was on her way to destroy these mountians when I just so happened to sense her. It definitely surprised Celestia when I told her that I could sense her. Apparently she used a bunch of spells to make it really hard to sense her. Then again, I've really been training hard to master my abilities, heck now I can handle 55x gravity like nothing. I talked with her to see what she was doing, asked if I could help (threatened to tell everyone about her cake eating habit if she didn't let me) and well, here I am. I turn away from Celestia and prepare to get rid of these last three mountains. 'Alright, let's see. I want to get rid of them quickly. Raming might have worked on the last five, but I'm getting worn out from constantly having to use the kiao-ken to make sure I completely get rid of the mountain..... I've got it! I'll have to use the kiao-ken once more, but it will be worth it.' I think to myself. I activate the Kiao-ken and begin to charge Ki into my hands. "X1.5 energy barrage!" I shout, firing a barrage of Ki blasts at the remaining mountains. The blasts go towards the mountains, completely destroying them. As the dust clears I can see a nice open space for a command post. I stop sing my kiao-ken and turn to Celestia. "There you go! Now, if you don't mind I think I'll go now, I'm a bit tired and want to relax." I say. I might be strong, but even I have a limit to how much energy I have. Celestia looks at me with gratitude. " Thank you, Orion. You certainly have gotten stronger. Can you remind me what your power level is?" I smile at Celestia. " Well, my power level has increased a lot in these four months! It's now 19,450. 1,945 with my 10x ring on." I say with pride. Celestia seems surprised at this. "Truly? You have certainly gotten stronger at a faster pace than I thought. I expected it to take you 8 months before you even came NEAR to that amount of power." She compliments. I smile and rub the back of my head. " Heh, thanks." I say, slipping my 10x ring on. I feel my self become heavier but I still manage to stay up in the air, despite my tiredness. "Well, good luck building that command post." I shout, before I fly off towards Ponyvile. Later. I fly through the sky, not a care in the world, as I make my way to Ponyvile. Today I'm going to check up on everyone, see how there doing and stuff. For once I hope I don't have to fight something. I countinue to fly when I see Ponyvile about a mile away. I make there in about 20 seconds and have a look around. 'Hmm.....no explosions, no screams of fear, no pony yelling about his cabbages.....huh. Maybe today will be normal....then again I did just start the day by ramming into mountains, so maybe not.' I think to myself. Just then I here a scream. I quickly focus trying to figure out where it came from. "This is. The worst. Possible. Thing!" I hear. It sounds like Rarity. Wasting no time, I shoot of to where I remember Rarity's house is. 'If I'm fighting something, please be something easy like a manticore or something.' I blast through Rarity's door, and see Rarity crying on a large red chair. I quickly make my way over to her. "Rarity! What's wrong?" I ask. Rarity turns to look at me and then grabs me with her hooves. "Oh, Orion. It's just the worst possible thing..." Rarity says, sniffling. " What? Did someone rob from you? Did someone call you fat? Did someone forget to close the door when they left? 'Cause trust me I know that feeling." I say. Rarity just shakes her head, sobbing. "N-no, it's even worse. I-I-I...I ran out of toilet paper!" She shouts at me. I stare blankly at her. She just continues to cry into her chair. "Toilet paper? Really? You could just, I don't know, go buy some. I know it sounds crazy, buying toilet paper and all, but you might just find it could work." I say sarcastically. Rarity then looks at me in shock. "A mare does not simply buy toilet paper." Rarity states. In a random shop "Hi! I'm here to simply buy toilet paper. How much is it?" A random mare asks. The shopkeeper smiles. "3 bits." He says. The mare hands him the money and simply walks out the shop with her toilet paper. Back with Orion "Umm....Okay? But how are you going to wipe yourself when you go?" I ask. Rarity then let's go of me and gasps. "How could you use toilet paper for such a thing?" "I know. Silly me for using toilet paper the way it's suppose to be used. Next thing you know I'll be using clocks to tell the time." I say sarcastically. Rarity then frowns. "Okay, maybe I'm being a bit melodramatic, but what I need it for has nothing to do with THAT. No, I'm using it to prepare a costume for Nightmare Night." Rarity says. "Nightmare Night? Oh yeah, I heard about that from my mum. Something to do with the legend of Nightmare Moon." I say. Rarity nods. "Yes, darling, you're correct. I'm dressing up as a Mummy this year. A STYLISH Mummy, that is." Rarity says. "Hey, how about a deal? If I get you some toilet role, will you make me a costume?" I ask, hoping she'all say yes. I've never been able to celebrate Nightmare Night, it would be great if I could. Rarity ponders this for a moment, then she smiles at me. "I beleve I can. Here take this, it's dangeroise to go alone." She says handing me some bits and a sword. I look at Rarity with a blank look on my face. "Rarity? Firstly, WHY THE HAY DO YOU HAVE A SWORD?! Oh, and secondly, why would you give me a sword. You do realize I'm the Saiyan boy that is strong enough to beat up teenage dragons." I say. "Oh, I forgot about that. Oh, and as for why I have the sword..." Rarity says, leaning into my ear. "You can never be to careful." She whispers. "You do realize, that this is Ponyvile and not Canterlot, right?" I ask Rarity. "You do realize that you say 'you do realize' a lot, right?" Rarity asks, smirking. I frown and fold my arms. "You do realize that I haven't washed my hands all day? So, it would be a SHAME if something were to get dirty." I say, smirking. Rarity's face goes even whiter than it all ready is. "Y-y-you-" "You wouldn't?" I finish for her. "Oh, I think we BOTH know I will." "You know, for such a sweet-" "You obviously don't know know me that well." I say butting in. "-young boy, you sure can be cruel." She finishes saying. I smirk at her. "You should never judge a book by it's cover." I say, quoting my mum. I turn around and head out the door. "Be back in a sec." I say, leaving. 1 second later. "Back!" I say, walking into the room with some toilet paper. Rarity gawks at me. "B-but, how?" Rarity asks. "I did say I would be a sec. Know if you'll excuse me, I'm ah head home." I say, turning around. "Wait! Do you have a sec? Orion." Rarity asks. I turn around and grin at her. "Actually, I have lots of secs." I say. Rarity was about to say something but then started to stutter. I chuckle a bit at her face. 'Thank you Nappa' I think. I could almost here him say your welcome....and him saying that he'll be back shortly because he'll probably get hit by a bus soon. I turn to look at the still stuttering Rarity."Well, come on. I have lots secs, I don't need you if your just going to waste my time. I have plenty of other secs to give to ponies." I say. Rarity shakes her head and looks at me. "Sorry, sorry. I was just...thinking of some unmare like things." She says. "Ok. You say you have lots of secs and suddenly ponies can't talk to you properly anymore." I say, trying to stop my smirk from showing. "*ahem* Anyway," she says blushing. "I want to see if I can find the best costume for you. If you have the time." She says. I smile at her. "Don't worry, Rarity. As we both know..... ...I have lots of secs" //-------------------------------------------------------// A lazy day.....if you call racing lazy, that is //-------------------------------------------------------// A lazy day.....if you call racing lazy, that is I sigh as I sit on the hill that I usually sit on. Normally I would be training, or fighting, or...something. But no, instead I'm laying down doing nothing. The reason.....I need to rest. Hey, buck you. I've been training every day for the past 4 months, I deserve a break. I'd like to see you do 1000 push ups and sit ups for 4 months without having a lazy day. 'Damn. I'm so bored. I could just train....nah, don't want to train to hard. mum said I should probably take a break so I don't become to tense and on edge.' I think to myself.' Besides, I should probably have some fun.....to bad there is nothing fun to do.' I think, while picking a rock to my side up. I take a good look at the rock. 'I wonder, how far can I throw this?' I stand up and take aim at a clear open space, making sure I don't accidentally grow it into Ponyvile or something. I pull my arm back and throw it, sending out a sonic boom as the rock ascends past the the sound barrier. I watch as the rock disappears over the horizon. Meanwhile. "Alright, I'll ask one more time. Give me what I want or I'll kill the hostages!" I crazy stallion shouts. "Damn, what should we do Sargent?" I young recruit asks. The Sargent looks back at him. "We can't send someone in and we can't give him what he wants.....what we do.....is wait for a miracle." The Sargent says. There are at least fifty guards surrounding the building, each on edge. There's one guard in particular, a unicorn, who's charging a knock out spell. He looks through one of the windows, and smirks as he sees the criminal. "Yo, Sargent. I think I might be able a to hit this dude." The unicorn says. Before the Sargent can tell him how risky that is, a low whistle comes from the sky. The guards all look around, even the criminal and hostages, trying to pinpoint the sound. The sound suddenly gets louder. Then from the sky, a rock smashes into ground, right next to the criminal. "Ha! Was that sup-ahh!" He yells out before falling onto the floor limp. During this confusion, the unicorn managed to shoot the criminal with a stun spell. And from that day on, the legend of the spirit of rocks was born. It's said the spirit will sometimes shoot down rocks from the heavens to help you, should you need it. Back with Orion. "Hmm....I feel a.....strange feeling of........stupidity....... probably nothing." I say, oblivious to the fact that a rock was the cause of a criminal getting captured. I lazily lay back down and think of things to do. 'Maybe I'll take a nap.' I think. I close my eyes and begin to relax. 2 hours later. "Hmm.....not..a...a....a monkey..." I mumble, waking up. I yawn and stretch my arms. I notice that the sun seems a bit lower than it was before. "Huh. Guess it's lunch time." I say to myself. I get up and fly of the mountain towards home. A little bit later I arrive at the house and go inside. "Hey, mum." I say. Mum turns to look at me and smiles. "Ah, hello, Orion. Your lunch is already on the table." She says, before continuing to brew some potions. I smile and sit at the table. I look at what's on the plate and notice it's just the same old food I have every day. I sigh and start eating it. I finish my food and take it over to the new sink. I look at mum and notice that she's busy. Deciding not to distract her, I walk out the door without saying anything and start to walk through the forest. "Ugh, Celestia I'm bored....wait...Celestia! Maybe I could hang out wi-*sigh*. No, she's to busy preparing the command post....maybe I could help her? Yeah, maybe she needs help." I say out loud. I smile and fly out of the forest towards where Celestia set up the command post. I smile as I fly over Ponyvile, taking in the scenery. Ponyvile looks just as good as ever, especially with the new decorations there putting up. It makes sense, Nightmare Night is in a 2 days after all, they've got to make the place more interesting. "Hey! Orion!" I hear beside me. I turn to look at who said that, only to come face to face with Rainbow Dash. "Oh, hi Rainbow. How're ya?" I ask. "You know, as good as ever. But there's actually something I wanted to ask you." Rainbow says. I slow down to a stop and look at Rainbow with interest." I'he seen you flying in and out the town pretty fast. So I thought we could maybe have a race." Rainbow says. I smile at her. "Sure. I know just the place to race to. You know where those mountains use to be?" I ask Rainbow. She nods. "Well, there's a new command post being built for the Dragon War there. So, maybe we could race to there?" I say. Rainbow seems to think about this for a sec, taping her chin with her hoof. After a bit, she smiles and nods. "Sure! I've actually heard about that new command post their building for the war, not that we need one to beat those Dragons." Rainbow says. 'You say that. But when you see and feel there power..' I think, shivering at the thought. "Hey, you alright?" She asks. I stop shivering and nod. "Yeah, just....never mind. Ok, on the count of three we'll race there." I say. Rainbow smirks and lands on a cloud to get ready. I flu next to her, as I can't walk on clouds, and get ready. "Yo, quick question. How do you know about the command post?" Rainbow asks. I smirk. "I know ponies. IMPORTANT ponies." I say. "Okay....3.........2.........1.......GO!" I shout, shooting off. The race is on. At first I'm in the lead but then Rainbow shoots past me, dodging and weaving through the clouds....I just go straight through the damn things. I quickly catch her up and look at her, her face seems shocked. "What? You didn't actually think I'd let you win, now." I say, smirking. Rainbow shakes her head and gains some more speed but not much. She's about 4 meters ahead of me. I smirk as I see that she's obviously giving it her all. 'And she actually thought she could beat me.' I think, before flying right next to her. "As much as I love this race, I'm going to win it now. See ya!" I shout, flying at around 320 meters per second while Dash does 284. I smile as I see the command post in view about 10 miles away, I'll should get there in about 1 minute. Suddenly, I sense Rainbow coming closer. I turn my head and see that she's actually broken the sound barrier, with a much cone around her, and is well ahead of me. (For those of you who don't know, the speed of sound is 340 meters per second. But just because you've broken the sound barrier it doesn't mean that you've made a sonic boom or sonic rainboom... yet.) I continue to stare at her as she nears the speed to create a sonic boom.... or rainboom. Now, obviously I can over take her....but I want to see if she can actually do it. She suddenly gets faster, the mach cone starts getting bigger.....then she just stops. I stop besides her and stare. "Well, oka-" "Waaahhhhh!" She screams out, flying backwards. Thinking quickly, I fly as fast as I can and catch her. I hold her and see she's panting with tears on her face. 'She probably has those tears from how fast she was going. The speed probably caused her eyes to water up.' I think. "Hey, you alright?" I ask. She stops panting and looks up at me. "Y-yeah...just....anyway thanks for helping me there, kid. Not that I needed it." She says, flying a few feet from me and smirking. I a mile at her. "Great! Anyway, we're here now." I say, pointing downwards. True to my words, we are in fact right on top of the command post. Looking around I notice that the command post is actually already built. It has a large building in the building, about the size of a hoofball field, with lots of little buildings around it. There are also some sort of barriers around the entire thing. Must be to keep ponies coming in. 'Celestia probably used her magic to build it so quick. It's only been 1 day.' I think. Looking around some more I notice that there are a lot of guards patrolling the place. Just then I notice Celestia walking with a guard. It looks like their talking about something. I smirk and begin to fly down, only to be stopped by a cyan hoof. "Wow, wow, wow. What are you doing?" Rainbow says, a slight bit of panic on in her tone. I look at her like she just said that I wasn't aloud to eat anymore. So a pretty confused and angry face. "I'm ah go talk to Celestia." I say. Before she can do anything I land in front of Celestia... //-------------------------------------------------------// I think I'm missing something here... //-------------------------------------------------------// I think I'm missing something here... I land on the ground a few feet in front of Celestia and start to walk up to her. Before I can reach her, the guard walking with her gets in my path. " Halt! Who are you and what is your business?" The guard asks. He looks like all the other guards with his golden armor and spear. The only difference is that his chest seems to have a circle of stars around it. I look up at him with a blank face. "Well, I WAS going to walk up to the Princess an-" Sadly, I never got to finish that sentence. " One does not simply walk up to Princess Celestia. So, in other words.....YOU SHALL NOT PASS!" He shouts at me, blocking my way. At least he would have, if I didn't get bored and walk pass him while he was doing his speech, that is. I walk up to Celestia, as she looks down at me, and smile. "Hey, Celestia." I say. She smiles down at me. "Hello, Orion. May I ask why your here?" She asks. I smile and look up at Rainbow Dash. Right now she has a face that is like 'RUN B****! RUN' and I've got a face what is like 'B**** PLEASE'. "Well, me and my friend decided to race here to see how the command post is doing. I came down to talk with you just cause I'm bored." I say, shrugging while still looking at Dash. Celestia follows my gaze and spots Rainbow. Right now Rainbow's face looks like mine that one time mum walked in while I was eating some of her cake. Rainbow smiles nervously and heads down to us. "So, this is your friend?" Celestia asks, as Rainbow touches the ground and bows. "Yep! Don't know why she's looking at the ground, though..... maybe she lost her virginity?" I ask. Rainbow blushes and looks very angry for some reason. I look at Celestia, who's chuckling, and raise an eyebrow. "No, no, Orion. I'm sure she didn't lose her virginity." Celestia says, while chuckling. " But I thought you said that you lose your virginity when your with your friends. I even asked my mum about it. She said when two friends are together and make loud noises they lose their virginity." I say, confusion on my face. Celestia, as well as some guards, start to chuckle more loudly. "So, what your saying is....Your friends the loud type?" "Well, yeah. She was screaming a lot when she tried to break the barrier." "Hahahahahahahahaha!" Laugh a bunch of guards. Rainbow seems to be trying to bury her face in the ground, Celestia is  just blushing while giggling and I'm just sitting here like a vegetable. " I think...I'll just leave.." Rainbow says, flying away. "Oh, okay. Hey! Maybe next time we I can help you break the barrier better!" I shout. Rainbow shoots off as fast as she can. I turn around to look at all the guards, who are laughing even louder. " I don't know why your laughing. You guys are probably still trying to lose your virginity." I say to them, frowning. For some weird reason the guards all stop laughing and look to the ground while blushing. Not Celestia, she just keeps giggling. She giggles even harder when she notices what the guards are doing. "W-wait. So, that means. All you stallions haven't? Bwahahahahahahah." Celestia laughs. I look around with one thought on my mind. 'I think I'm missing something here...' Later "Oh!.....ew." I say, walking with Celestia. She just finished describing how to lose your virginity..... I can't believe you need to....just...no. Just...ew. I can't understand why you would want to do that. Seriously, why would you want to....just no. We come to the edge of the command post and stop. I turn to Celestia and smile. "Well, it was great talking with you.....not really, actually..... but I enjoyed your company." I say. Celestia smiles warmly at me. "I can agree that your company was also pleasant.... just don't try doing what I told you until your older." " Don't worry. I'm definitely not sharing my food with anyone. It's just...no. Why would you want to SHARE your food?" I ask. "Maybe one day you'll understand... until then, have a nice day." She says. I smile and fly off. "Wait! Orion...do you have a sec?" Celestia asks. I stop and turn to look at her. "Yes! I have lots of secs! Why? Do you want some?" I shout at her. Suddenly I hear every guard burst out laughing." 'Okay....definitely missing something.....I still don't exactly get why Nappa told me to say that to everyone who aaks if I have a sec...there reaction IS funny, though.' I think to myself. I fly down and land in front of the made who wants my secs. (I'm dying of laughter while writing this) "Yes, Orion. You see, I know how interested you are in the Dragon war. So I decided I would explain a bit about it." Celestia says. "Oh? Okay, sure." I say, nodding. Celestia smiles and walks inside a building. I follow. "You see, Orion." Celestia says, walking down the hallway with me...or me walking down the hallway with her. The hallway it's self is pretty normal, as far as hallways go. It's got about a meter width, is long flank and has little black and white squares on it. "...Were you even listening?" Celestia asks, snapping me out of my observation. " Pffft...Yes?" I say. Celestia frowns at me. "As I was saying, the command post is almost fully complete. Luckily the room we need just so happens to be ready. The room is known as the 'map' room, it's where we strategize and plan our next moves in the war." Celeatia says, opening a door on the right and walking in. I follow Celestia in the room and gawk at what I see, there's a MASSIVE map on a wall with lots of lines and notes all over the place as well as a bunch of guards doing stuff, like drawing lines to other places. To me it looks like they got a foal to draw a picture on a map of the world. "Umm...Not to sound like I don't know what that is......but just what is that?" I say, pointing to the map. Celestia smiles and walks in front of the map. "This, this is our plan of attack in the war. As you can see, we will make a camp halfway in between the Dragon Kingdom and Equestria. Our plan is simple but efficient. We will make our base there," Celestia says pointing at a red circle on the map. "Make a team of our best warriors, as well as myself, charge the Dragons home. Once that is done we will return to Equestria." Celestia says. "Just like that?" I ask. Celestia frowns. "Sadly, no. There is a chance that it won't work. This is why we have a camp in the middle, so if we do fall, our second best guards can defend.... and if that doesn't work, we have you and the remaining guards to defend Equestria. It may seem like a simple plan....but the Dragon don't really think, they just do. If it was against another race, one more intelligent, we might of used strategies like an ambush or stealth....but because of the sheer power of Dragons it wouldn't do much but annoy them." Celestia says, with a serious look on her face. "Good thing your fighting then, Celestia. With you...heck they'll probably BEG for forgiveness.... right?" I say, looking at Celestia's poker face. "I am strong, Orion. But numbers also hold just as much strength.... that is why I bring my best warriors with me....I may be able to handle 3-4 average Dragons.....but an army is a new story all together." Celestia says. I was about to ask what she meant by 'average Dragons when a sudden roar and explosion filled the air. "Come on! It's my day of relaxing!" //-------------------------------------------------------// 10 teenage Dragons! 10 teenage Dragons! If a Celestia happens to fight.........Zero Teenage Dragons! //-------------------------------------------------------// 10 teenage Dragons! 10 teenage Dragons! If a Celestia happens to fight.........Zero Teenage Dragons! Me, Celestia and The Beetles (that's what the guards in the room called themselves) rush outside too see what happened. We get out and see 10 Dragons breaking, smashing, destroying......basically, they're messing stuff up. Heck all the guards are knocked out, besides The Beetles. "Oh. Yo, guys! Look who it is." A Dragon says. This dragon is yellow with blue horns and wings. His wings look like normal dragon wings but the thing that stands out is his tail.....it looks like a sword. The other Dragons stop what they were doing and all look at my little gang. (The most random group you'll ever see. Seriously we got a 8 year old Saiyan, a over 1000 year old alicorn and the Celestia damn Beetles.) The Dragons are all around us, from the ground, to the sky. The yellow Dragon smirks. "Alright! Tell you what, give us the monkey and we'll let you live.....mostly." The yellow one says. I was about to charge him, but Celestia walks in front of me. "Why? What business do you have with him?" Celestia asks. The yellow Dragon growls. "None of your business! Now. Give. Us. The. Monkey!" Okay, I really hate this guy right now. The scouter only says his power level is 870. I can take him. Celestia frowns and glares at the Dragon. "Orion....pay attention.... you might learn something new." Celestia says, walking towards the yellow Dragon. Battle begin Celestia: 7 (true power 50,000) Dragons: (Yellow:870, Red:850x3 Blue:830x2 Green:790x4) (together 8,240) Chance of winning.........97% The yellow Dragon laughs. "Ha! So, you want to die? Alright! Eat this!" The yellow Dragon roars, breathing fire on Celestia..... only for Celestia to walk through the fire like it's a Sunday stroll through the park. No, I'm not joking. Celestia actually looks like she's ENJOYING this. The yellow Dragon yells in rage. "Alright, showoff. Let's see how you handle this!" The yellow Dragon shouts, charging at Celestia. Celestia stops and waits for the Dragon to reach her. The Dragon reaches her and trys to punch Celestia, only for her to grab his claws with her wings. The Dragon attempts to get out of her grip......but IT'S NO USE! (If you've ever played sonic 06.......I'm sorry.) "H-how? Grrr! Let go off me!" The Dragon yells in Celestia's face. Celestia smirks and let's him go......flying into another Dragon. The two Dragon hit the ground with a thud.....and don't get back up. The other Dragons stare at her with uncertainty. One of the Dragons decides it's time for a change of pace and charges her with 2 other Dragons. "Beetles, Orion...close your eyes." Celestia says. We do as she says and close our eyes. Not a second later, I hear Celestia shout 'solar flare' and there's a bright flash of light. I open my eyes and see that all the Dragons are covering their eyes screaming in pain. Celestia then quickly grabs two Dragons with her wings, smashes their heads together and flings them into 2 other Dragons, knocking them out. The third dragon gets his sight back and charges at Celestia..... Celestia doesn't even turn around when she uses her left hind leg to kick him to the ground, knocking him out cold and leaving a large crater. "S-she just knocked 7 Dragons out in like 10 seconds.." I say out loud. A guard from The Beetles laughs. "Course she did, kid. This is Celestia, no one is more powerful than her." The guard says. I haven't really taken a good look at the guards. They're wearing black arm our that cover their whole body, head to hooves with horns sticking out of their heads, meaning their unicorns. 'No wonder their called the beetles, they look like massive pony versions of them......don't know why you need that much armor if all you do is plan....but the armor does look cool.' I think while looking at them. I turn my attention back to the battle.'Just what was that 'solar flare?' I think, looking at the 3 Dragons left circle Celestia. "You might as well take your friends and leave." Celestia says. "I can already tell that there's no point on DRAGON this out any longer." Celestia says, smirking. The Dragons growl, probably because of the pun she used, and they hide in the shadows. "Aw. You think the darkness is your ally?" Celestia says. Celestia then lights her horn up and teleports away. Me and The Beetles all just stand there and wait. "....So, why do you have so much armor on?" I ask. The Beetles look at me. "Oh, we don't just plan attack, we are the stealth team.....but like Celestia said, stealth is pointless against Dragons. So were just planing for her. We're also gonna be a part of the guard that stays here, just in case the Dragons beat Celestia.... or some Dragons sneak through." One of the Beetles say. I nod and continue waiting. "AHHHHHHH-*biff*." "Wow, she hit the Dragon so hard words materialized from the air." I say. It probably has something to do with magic. In a flash of light Bane-Celestia appears, holding 2 knocked out Dragons and one crying Red Dragon. "Pl-please...don't kill me." The Red Dragon sobs. Clestia teleports all the other Dragons away and stares at the red one. "When you've found the true meaning of friendship....you have my permission to die." Celestia says, teleporting the sobbing Dragon away. "Well, that happen." (Can you guess who said that?) 10 minutes later. "Okay, Celestia. It looks like everything is fixed." I say, dusting my hands. I decided I would help Celestia fix and clear things up......by sitting down and pointing at things that need fixing. I know, I'm so helpful. Celestia giggles at me. "Yes, you certainly helped a lot. Whatever would we do with out you." Celestia says.....sarcastically? 'B****' I get up and fly towards Celestia. " So....what exactly was that move you used?" I ask Celestia. " Oh, it was a Ki move. The solar flare." Celestia said. "Ki? I thought you said that ponies can't learn Ki." I say. Celestia just giggles. "Yes, I said that ponies can't OR those who can can't use it that well because of the magic inside us. I'm one of the ponies that can use a bit of Ki." Celestia says. She puts her right foreleg out and charges a ball of yellow Ki in it. "I don't know a lot, I can't use that many moves.....but I do know the solar flare. It's saved me a few times in the past." Celestia says, dispelling the Ki ball."Ki is also helpful against Dragons. They may have a resistance to magic.....but Ki, Ki is a whole new story." Celestia says. I stare at her in amazement. "C-can you tach me the solar flare?" I ask. Celestia nods. "Yes. But not here, follow me." Celestia says, flying up into the air. I fly up and follow her. Me and Celestia sore through the sky side by side, passing through the many clouds in our path. "Okay, Orion. The first thing you should know about the solar flare is it's name. It has multiple meanings, the most common being 'fist of the sun' or 'sun fist.' It's a move that will work on any target, regardless of their power, unless they are wearing sun glasses. It's non-lethal and is mostly used to blind the target so you can get the upper hoof, or hand, in a fight. It can also be used as a way to escape, this is one reason I'm teaching you this, just in case there's a Dragon that is to strong for you and you need to escape." Celestia explains to me. "Run? Ha! I don't run from fights. Heck I'm really scary. I'm so scary, that when I take a dump I don't flush....I scare the shi-" Celestia glares at me. "-I mean, yeah. I guess I MIGHT need to escape sometimes." I say nervously. Celestia glares at me a bit longer then turns to face forward. "Were here." Celestia says, flying to the ground. I follow. 'Well, you don't have to be a b**** about it.' //-------------------------------------------------------// Nappa returns! //-------------------------------------------------------// Nappa returns! "Um, Celestia.....what is this place?" I ask looking around. We appear to be in some sort of castle. The castle is gray with moss and vines hanging all over it. It also has lots of rubble and holes all over the place, as well as some cracks. I look forward and see two thrones, one has a picture of the moon....the other is destroyed but looks like it use to have a picture of a sun on it. "This is my old castle, Orion. I moved out some time ago because...of an indecent." Celestia says, smilling sadly. I look at her and frown. "What kind of indecent? Was it to do with the fact that your throne was destroyed?" I ask. Celestia's eyes widen and she looks at me. "H-how did you know it was mine?" I smirk and point to her flank. "The picture kinda looks like your cutie mark.....well, besides the fact it's not in shards all over the place." I say. "But....what's with the second throne?" I ask. Celestia sighs and walks over to me. She lays down so she's eye level. "Are you familiar with the mare in the moon?" I nod my head. "You should be able to figure it out then." Celestia says. I stop and think for a second. What does she mea-wait..... "Y-you mean....Nightmare moon is...." I begin to say. Celestia sighs and nods. "Yes.....but she wasn't always nightmare moon, she use to be called Luna." "What, so when she wanted the night to last forever she went to Starbucks to change her name?" Celestia stares at me. "You do realize that Starbucks doesn't change your name....they sell-" "Yeah, yeah. But why did she change it to Nightmare Moon? Why not something like......The Rock. Maybe Buck Norris, heck even Jacky-" "Orion!" Celestia shouts. I look up at her, she looks pretty angry. "Um...sorry...." I say, looking down. Celestia sighs. "I believe..... I said I would teach you the solar flare." Celestia says. She gets up and walks to the center of the room. I quickly get up and follow. "Alright." Celestia says, facing me. "To do the solar flare.....well, just shout solar flare." Celestia says. "....That's it?......Okay." I say. I thought it would be harder then that.... "Okay. Let me turn around." Celestia says, turning around. "Okay, do it." I smirk and look forward. "Solar flare!....umm.....SOLAR FLARE!.....I can't do it." I say. Celestia turns around and looks confused. "Hmm...." She thinks to herself. I stand there thinking. "You didn't put your fingers in front of your face!" Nappa says.......Nappa? 'N-Nappa? H-how? I thought you said the Dragon balls brought you back to life.' I think, so I don't interrupt Celestia while she thinks. "Oh, yeah.....I got hit by a bus." Nappa says rubbing the back of his head. I look at him in confusion. 'H-how? That doesn't even......okay. I'm just glad your back. Now, what did you say before.?' I ask. "Oh, I was saying that you need to put your fingers near the center of your face. You see, when I was killed by Vegeta, I saw Goku use the move on him. He put his hands near his face and shouted 'SOLAR FLARE!' I think Celestia didn't need to because she doesn't have hands." Nappa explains. I smirk at him. 'Okay, I'll try.' I think. "Orion I think I-" "SOLAR FLARE!" I shout, putting my hand near my face.....and blinding Celestia. Celestia grunts and falls to the ground. "Uh-oh. Um, sorry Celestia." I say. Celestia stands up, still blinded, and turns to me. "....Next time warn me when you do that." Celestia says. I smirk and nod. "Okay.....could you get your face out of my butt know?" I say. Celestia gasps and falls over on her flank. "Bwahahahaha. Payback. Payback for that time you told me to get my face out of your flank. Oh, Celestia. I see why you did that, your face....it....Hahahahahahaha." I laugh, closing my eyes. 'Thanks, Nappa.' I think, still laughing. "Orion....you might want to run..." Nappa says. I stop laughing and open my eyes. Standing up is a angry Celestia with her horn ignited. I gulp and try to fly out, but Celestia gets me in a levitation grip. I struggle but I can't escape. "Orion......I'm going to spank you." Celestia quietly says. I scream and struggle even harder. Battle begun Orion: 1,945 (true power 19,450) Celestia: 15,000 (true power 50,000) Chance of winning.......28% I take my ring off and wait for Celestia to drag me in. I get closer and she lifts her foreleg up. I'm looking directly at her. Using all my Ki I loft my hands up and... "SOLAR FLARE!" I shout. Celestia gets stunned again. I quickly kick her in the side of her face, while she's stunned, and fly out the ruin. " ORION! GET BACK HERE!" Celestia shouts using the Royal Canterlot Voice. I ignore her and dash away with a blue aura around me as fast as I can. I land on a mountain a good 1000 miles away and sit down. "Phew." I say, wiping the sweat of my brow. "Now all I have to do is make sure I never see Celestia for the rest of my life." I say to myself. I feel the warm wind on my shoulder '.......wind isn't warm.....and it doesn't feel angry.' I think to myself. I look forward and see a massive shadow in front of me. I don't even turn around as I feel Celestia's breath on my ear. "Run..." She whispers. I yell and activate my Ki aura to fly away as fast as I can.....only for Celestia to grab me before I can even make it 10 meters away. Celestia uses my magic to bend me over. I try to struggle but it's not working. "Now, Orion." She whispers into my ear. "I was only going to spank you once.....but after blinding me, hitting me and running away....I'll say 10 should do." Celestia whispers. "A-actualy I flew..." I say. I hear Celestia giggle. "Okay, 20 it is." Celestia whispers into my ear. 'Nappa....help' I think. "Okay....um.....oh, use the kaio-ken to fly away, she doesn't know that you can do that.. But not now.... when I say go." Nappa says. I mentally nod and wait. I can feel Celestia slowly raise her hoof. It's getting higher and higher and higher and-. "NOW!" Nappa shouts. "KAIO-KEN!" I shout out. I manage to surprise Celestia and fly away from her. "OKAY, ORION.....I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS......BUT KNOW I'LL HAVE TO GO FULL POWER." Celestia whispers....well, she said it loud, it's just the way she said it sounded like a whisper. I risk a turn back and see that her eyes are glowing white. 'Oh buck...' Status update. Orion: 29,175 (kaio-ken 1.5) Celestia: 50,000 (full power) I shoot off across the sky with a boom meaning I broke the sound barrier......to bad an angry Celestia just did a sonic rainboom behind me. "Okay, Orion. Your going about mach 20 which is 20x the speed of sound. So, your going about.....6,800 meters per second..... Celestia's going mach 45.....about 15,300 meters per second....now, luckily you got a head start of 81,600, so you've got around 5.3 seconds before she reaches you." Nappa says surprising me with his knowledge. 'Wow....I never thought you would be-' "4.7 SECONDS!' Nappa yells. I look around quickly trying to find somewhere to hide. I spot a large lake a few 25,000 meters away.(75,000 meters.) "Orion you've got 1.9 seconds!" Nappa reminds me. '......I know what to do.' I think. I turn around to face Celestia....I wish I didn't. I can see her angry, scowling face and her ragging eyes, even though their white. "SOLAR FLARE!" I shout, initiating another solar flare. Celestia gets blinded by it again and stops to cover her eyes while shouting that it's 50 spanks now. 'Okay, I've got about 10 seconds to make it their so if I'm going 6,800 m/s and it's 75,000 meters away.....I won't make it in time.......but if I use Kaio-ken x2..' I think. "KAIO-KEN X2" I shout, flying towards the lake. "Alright, now your going 10,200 m/s.....you wasted 2 seconds thinking...yep you'll just make it." Nappa says. 'Okay, when did you become good at math?" I ask. Nappa shrugs his ghost shoulders. "Same way you used Kaio-ken x2.....plot convenience." Nappa says. 'What does a flank have to do with math?' I ask. "Never mind...we're here." Nappa says. I turn to look and see I'm about to hit the lake. I come to a skidding stop beside the lake, suppress my power level as low as I can and dive in the lake. "........4......5.......6." 'What are you doing?' I ask, holding my breath at the bottom of the lake. Nappa smirks at me. "Seeing how long you can hold your breath......10.....11.....12." Nappa says. I role my eyes and take a look around. There's nothing really interesting around, there's some fish a space pod a playcolt magazine..... wait....a PLAYCOLT MAGAZINE? What the hell is that doing there? Oh, the space pod's pretty confusing too....but a playcolt magazine? What the buck. "....24.....25......26." I notice a fish coming close to me. It stares for a bit and swims past me.....brushing my shoulder. "*gurgle* (OW!)" I gurgle. I just remembered that the kaio-ken affects the body a lot. Considering the fact I just went x2, it's no wonder even the slightest brush will hurt......wait...isn't Celestia going to spank- "*GURGLE* (Buck.)" I gurgle. I need some air. I swim up and slowly surface. I take a deep breath and look around. "37 seconds....meh." Nappa says. Seeing no angry Celestia's, I swim over to the edge of the lake. "Need a hoof?" Celestia asks, holding her hoof out. I grab the hoof and pull myself up. "Thanks, Celestia." " 3.......2........1....." "AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" //-------------------------------------------------------// The 'great' intro (edited) //-------------------------------------------------------// The 'great' intro (edited) It's a cold day tonight in the everfree, as I trot through it. I can feel the cold winter wind dance across my striped fur, while making my way to the area I heard the sound in. I'm not sure what the sound was, I've been living in this forest for a few months now and yet, nothing like this has ever happened. I was about to go to sleep when a sudden crashing sound happened. For all I knew a Ursa could have fell over, but it could have also been a Pegasus, Celstia knows Pegasus crash a lot. I continued on my way, passing the various plants and insects, as I usually do when going through the forest when I hear it. Crying. As quickly as I can, I make my way to the source of the noise, only to find an odd site. Now when I say odd, well... A monkey, a furless, crying monkey is sitting in the middle of the forest crying his heart out, with that appendage I'm pretty sure he's male. I should just turn and leave, his mother will probably come soon. But... "Hello" I say while walking towards him. This seems to stop his crying and makes him look at me. Now that he's doing so I can see him a bit more of clearly, that being his strange hair (goku's hair) and onyx eyes. He's kind of adorable, I wonder if he can understand me? "What are you doing here all alone, where's your mother?" This seems to only make him cry. Perhaps something happened to his mother? "No, no, no, don't cry" I whisper to him while picking him up "if you want, I could be your mother, I've always wanted a child of my own." This seems to calm him down, as well as make him play with my mane. "Ha, I see that you like my mane." This causes the child to giggle." Well, this could of gone a lot wor-" *growl* "Oh no" I whisper to my self, as a pack of timber wolves come out of the bushes. I just had to say that didn't I ? It's then that I realize that the young monkey has gotten of me and is now staring at the moon. *growl* Another growl...but that wasn't from the timber wolves. Turning my head I realize that it was the child, and was his eyes always red? The child then starts growing, gaining more fur and growing a snout. Soon he's above the tree line and is a gigantic monkey yelling into the night sky. One of the timber wolves goes and bites the monkeys leg, only to be crushed by the monkeys foot. This seems to frighten the other timber wolves making them flee. But to my surprise the monkey shoots some kind of energy at them, completely obliterating them, though a few escape. The former small monkey then looks at me and reaches out to grab me. I run or try to, before he picks me up. I'm lifted up to his face. He stares at me. I stare at him, my heart pounding as I stare into his red eyes. 'This is it, he's going to eat me.' I think as he reaches out one of his hands...and strokes my mane. Wait, what? "Mommy!" He near enough shouts. "Y-yes mommy" I say. The monkey then lays down and cuddles against me, luckily not crushing me. Right now I'm terrified, but as long as he thinks I'm his mum he won't hurt me, right? After a while he falls asleep. I try to escape but I begin to feel tired 'Surely I can sleep here, who's going to mess with a giant monkey' I think before drifting off. Morning I wake up. The events of last night clear in my mind. "But where's-" *snore* I look to my side to find the smaller version of the monkey laying next to me. 'Funny, it doesn't even look like he would hurt a fly. But what caused- the moon it must of, I mean, he looks straight at the full moon and turns into a giant great ape like creature, like from the stories I've heard when I was young. If the stories are true then removing the tail should stop him from turning into 'the great ape''. I pick the young boy up and place him onto my back and make my way to my hut. On my way I notice most creatures are quiet, too quiet. 'Maybe it has something to do with his whole 'scaring a pack of timber wolves off' show last night?'I think to myself. It makes sense or as much sense that can be made from this. What ever it was, I still make my way into my hut, and place the sleeping boy on the table. I get some various potions and get him to drink the potions, these specific potions should act as a pain killer so when he wakes up it won't hurt much and will only last a second. I then tear his tail off. The young boy wakes up at is quietly staring forward. "Huh I expected him t-" Canterlot "-s why we-" "Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh" 'Thank the maker' "I must leave my planet needs-i mean, I must investigate that noise." I say "Yes Princess Celestia" The Zebra Hut "..." I stare at the young, and loud, child. 'Could of gone better, but what ya gonna do' i think, before stroking his mane, or hair I believe its called. The young boy seems to like this and nuzzles my hoof. He seems so innocent, so...alone. Maybe I can adopt him at least until I can find his real mother. "I think I need to call you something, how about Orion?" The-Orion seems to like this and nuzzles me even more. Why Orion? Well he was found at night and Orion was the first thing that came to my mind. "Well, hello Orion I'm your mother, Zecora. "Zeora!" He says in a cut baby like voice. "Close, Z-core-a." I repeated to him. It's hard to believe he can scare of timber wolves. "Z-core-a" he repeats. I then point my hoof at him. "Orion" He then points to himself using one of his...fingers? Yes fingers. "Orion" he says, getting it right the first time. I then pick some food and give it to him. He then eats and eats and eats... 'I need to buy some more food'. *burp* *snore* "Well you know what they say, they eat, they sleep an- I should probably get some pants for him". *sniff* "Yeah, gonna need that towel". After clearing that up I think about that energy he shot out. Can he still do it in this form? If he can then that could be dangerous without control. "Maybe I'll teach you some martial arts to help you learn control. And if you are what I think you are, then maybe I can see if the legends are true, and just what you can do. Canterlot I stare out of my window, thinking about that shout I heard. 'It sounded like the one I heard last night only more...childish? Yes, childish. Whatever that shout was I know it was from something strong, I could feel the power it held, its definitely stronger the an the normal pony, definitely. I just hope nothing bad happens. I should keep an eye on the everfree just to be sure. //-------------------------------------------------------// The ponies can't even handle my swag //-------------------------------------------------------// The ponies can't even handle my swag I land in front of my home and knock. After a few moments mum opens the door and smiles at me. "Hello, Orion. Your home just in time." Mum says, walking inside. 'Okay, Orion. You got this. Just ask if you can go.' I think to myself. I enter the hut and see that dinner is prepared, a nice serving of spaghetti, manticore meatloaf and some more cake. "Well, come on Orion. The food won't eat it's self." Mum says sitting at the table. I walk over to the table and sit on it. I begin to eat my food, still thinking about how I should bring this up. 'Okay. Just talk how you normally do at dinner....wait I never talk at dinner......BUCK. Alright, alright. Just have a conversation that leads up to the party.' I think, while eating some spaghetti. " Hey, mum." I start. Mum looks up from the daffodil sandwich she's eating and nods. "So....How are you?" I ask. "I live in a gloomy forest, constantly getting chased by manticores, making potions in the dark and have no friends besides you and Celestia..... So I'm good." Mum says. "Oh, that's great. So, can I go to a party?" I ask. Mum looks up at me. "....What party?" Mum asks. I smile and begin to explain to her about how I went into town, listened to Pinkie ramble, get invited to a party and watch Pinkie face plant into a sign of a sunset. "No." Mum simply states. I look at her in shock. "What? What do you mean 'no'?" I ask. Mum puts her sandwich down and looks at me. "I don't want you up past your bedtime." "But I NEED to. If I don't get a social life....I'll end up like you.!" I say pointing a finger at her. "What's so bad about me?" She asks. "Well, you live in a dark gloomy forest, get chased constantly by manticores, have no friends besides Celestia, I don't count because I'm your son, and you make potions in the dark." "....I fail to see what's wrong with that." "....If I wash the dishes will you let me?" I ask. "Yes." "Okay. Oh, and sorry about.....you know." I say. "Don't worry. You are forgiven for what you said." "Oh, I wasn't apologizing for that, I'm apologizing because I feel bad for how you live. Seriously. Get some friends or something." I say. I look at mum and see her eye twitching. " Orion." She says, pulling a long bamboo stick from under the table. "Yes?" I say, a bit worried. "..........DOOOOOOOGGGGEEE!" 20 minutes later. "Oh, hi Ori-what happened to your face?!" Flutter Shy screams, standing in the door way. I rub the mark on my cheek and stare at Flutter Shy. "......This is why we doge." I say. Flutter Shy stares at me and shakes her head. "Never mind. So since your here, I'm guessing you can go to the party?" Flutter Shy asks. I look up at her smile. "Yeah. But I have to be home by nine." I say. Flutter Shy walkes out of her house and smiles. "Oh, that's good. I was just about to leave. You can come too....if you want to, that is." Flutter Shy says. "At 7:27?" "I like to be there early." She says, smiling. I hope on her back rest my head on her mane. "Okay. Let's go!" I shout out. Flutter Shy nods and walks in the direction of Ponyvile. 5 minutes later We arrive in ponyvile and see nopony around. I look around a bit and take a good look at the place. It's smaller than the Everfree forest but still pretty big. The buildings look mostly the same, with a few standing out. Also there seems to be a giant tree in the middle. " Hey, Flutter. Why is there a giant tree there?" I ask. Flutter Shy looks back at me. "Oh, that's the library." She says. A library in a tree.....I would say that's weird, but I live in a tree with my mother who's a witchdoctor/ potion maker. So I'll be quite. We continue walking, well, Flutter Shy does, I'm just sitting here doing nothing, and stop suddenly. " Here we are!" Exclaims Flutter Shy. I look up and stare in shock at what's in front of me. Right in front of me is a massive, pink ginger bread building with icing on top. "I know what I'm eating tonight." I say, drooling on Fluter Shy's mane. "Oh, no. You can't eat it. This is sugar cube corner. It's where the party's being held." "Aw...." I moan. Flutter Shy just giggles and walks in. We enter the building to see a few ponies already in there. There also seems to be a counter at the back as well as streamers and little tables with some treats on them. During my little wonder, I failed to notice that everypony in here has stopped and looked at me. Before anypony can so much as blink, Pinkie runs into the room from.....actually I don't know. "Hi, Shy and Orion. Your early!" Pinkie exclaims. I get of Flutter Shy's back, while she chats with pinkie, and look around. "Um, what are you staring at?" I ask. Every mare in the room (there's only one stallion in the room. He's at the back with a grey mare eating muffins.) 'awwws' at me. I rub my head in confusion, getting even more 'awwws' from the mares. I shake my head and walk over to a table with cupcakes on it. "Hey there, little guy." I hear. I turn around and come face to face with a  cream coated mare with some highlights in her hair. "Er, hey?" I say. The mare smiles at me. "I heard about you from Pinkie. She said that Flutter Shy said a little monkey saved her and rainbow dash from a dragon." She tells me. I frown and cross my arms. "Look, I'm not a monkey. I'm a Saiyan." I Say, annoyed. "Sure, you are. Anyway my names Bon Bon and I already know who you are." "Okay that's nice." I say, turning around to grab a snack......only to realize it's to tall. (Hey lay off me i'm only 2ft 9) "Would you like some help?" Bon Bon asks. I shake my head and smile. "No thanks. I got this." I say, flying up and grabbing a cupcake.....or 12. I turn around to see the shocked face of Bon Bon. I smile and and hold one out. "Want one?" I ask. She just continues staring. I shake my head and fly around the place. As I do this I notice everypony stare at me. I'm not sure why though, maybe it's because I have a lot of cupcakes. Anyway I find a good place to sit and wait for the party to start. While I'm doing this, some mares would say I'm a cute little guy and some Pegasus mares would ask how I can fly without wings or how fast I can fly. Everything was good.....well, until that one Stallion came and tried to steal my cupcake when I wasn't looking, but I handled it well. Flashback "Hey! Your taking my cupcakes!" I yell to a stallion with a black coat and a red mane. He has a horn on his head and wings by his side. The stallion looks back at me and laughs. "Yeah, so what? I'm my red and black alicorn OC, there's no wa-" "DOGE!" I shout, cutting him off. Before he can react, I uppercut him in the jaw, sending him flying through the roof. End of flashback. Yeah....apparently he's been annoying the town for sometime, so nopony really cared that I uppercut him sky high........ I swear the moon didn't have that crater on it before......oh, well. I check the time and see it just turned 8:00. As if by magic, there's suddenly a flash, a bang and a pop.....the next thing I know, there's a disco ball on the ceiling and about 60 more ponies are here as well as some party games. I eat my last cupcake and get up to look for Flutter Shy. I don't have to look long, I can see her and four other mares at a table. One mare has a white coat and long purple hair, one has a blonde mane and an orange coat, one is pinkie Pie and the other that rainbow Pegasus, Rainbow Dash. I walk over to them, and jump on a stool. "Hi, Flutter!" I say. When I say this the five mares turn to look at me. They all have some mixed reactions. Good mixed reactions but mixed. "Hey! Your that Saiyan kid that beat the snot out off that Dragon." Rainbow Dash says. "Wait? This little critter? Rainbow, ya sure ya not pulling mah leg?" The orange one asks. "I wish I was. I didn't get to see all of it, but I did see him punch him into the ground." The Rainbow one replies. "I'm not sure, Dash. He don't seem all that STRONG." She says. "Well, I for one think he looks splendid! He might not have that nice clothes and maybe he could do with a new manestyle...but he looks adorable. Especially with that little ring he has on and that little....eye piece." The white mare says. "Well, thanks. I use this ring to help me train." I say. The mares all looked confused by this. "Now how in the hay is a RING gonna help ya train?" I laugh at the orange made. "It's not JUST a ring. It's magically enchanted." I say. "Oh really?" Rainbow Dash says. I nod and take it off. "Yep." I say. Rainbow Dash then stands up and walks around to me. "Okay. Then let me put it on!" Rainbow Dash says, grinning cockily. " Um, ok. But it might be to much for you." I say. Rainbow Dash just scoffs. I shake my head and place the ring on her hair, so it looks like she has a pony tail. "Whoa-oof" Rainbow says. Slamming into the ground. She tries to get up but can't even stand. The orange mare then laughs. "Well, ain't this a sight." The orange made says while chuckling. " Yeah-err-laugh it up Apple Jack." Rainbow Dash says. I take the ring off and an idea comes to my mind. I use the afterimage to appear behind Apple Jack and place it through her hair. "Ahh-oof." Apple Jack yells, face planting the floor. "Bwahahahaha. Not so funny now AJ." Rainbow says. Just like Rainbow, Apple Jack tries to get up......but can't. I take the ring off Apple Jack and put it back on my finger. "Don't worry. It took me a while until I was use to it." I say. The two ponies get up and look at me in awe. "Now I can believe you fought that Dragon." Applejack says. "Yeah. That ring sure is something. Makes you look swag as heck though." Rainbow says. I blush and rub the back of my head. "Yes that ring does make you look, how they say, 'swag'. But what is that thing covering your eye for?" The White mare asks. " Oh, it can tell you your power level." I say. "Sweet!" Rainbow Dash says. "Yeah, I know right. Hey, I'll tell you all your power levels." I say. I look at Rainbow Dash. "Alright Rainbow-is it ok if I call you Rainbow?" I ask. "Dude, you can beat up a Dragon. Of course you can!" She says smiling. " Ya can call me AJ too." Apple Jack says. I smile and nod. "Alright. Rainbow....9. AJ.....12.......pinkie.....15?" I say, looking confused. Pinkie just smiles. "Bro. Do you even lift rocks?" She says. I shake my head. "Alright? Flutter.....3 and.....umm-" "Rarity, dear." "Rarity.... 5." I say. Everypony then looks at me. I get confused for a second and then realize what they want. I smile and hand Rainbow the scouter. " Just read the little numbers at the bottom." I say. Rainbow nods and puts it on. "Whoa! 680!" She shouts. I smile back. "Heh. Let me take my ring off..." I say. I take the ring off and look at Rainbow. Her eyes go wide. "6-6-6,800!" She yells. I smile and nod. The mares all look at me in awe. I smile back and say the first thing on my mind. "Can I have another cupcake?"
