Prologue - The Past, Present And Future Of Riamu
"Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future ." - John F. Kennedy
"Erm... wha.. Whats happening Riamu?" Comes a voice from not to far away. Opening his eyes, Riamu or Riamu Kuru (which he prefers the former, the latter being his full name) looks around for the culprit of waking him up from his short nap. It's not likes he lazy or anything, but you try and do manual work for 3 days straight, with very minimal sleep. It's not long to he finds the person, who awoke him.
"Yes... what is it, you want " He says to the person.
"Well.........." Sighing the person, takes in a deep breath. "The....err... Lights have not come back on yet.... and.... I ..... I... was err"
Its hard to see anything 5 feet in front of him, but he knows this person in side out. Well, why wouldn't you know your own little sister right. Unless you have curtain... events that have not allowed that, but anyway. Looking towards her, she is twiddling him thumbs with each other, and looking down. She is currently wearing a light, light pink onesie, thats nothing fancy. The torso it self, is white. the other material outside that area, is a light pink. Her long dark brown hair, comes down to her shoulders normally, but at the moments, is showing no signs of order. Saying she had a bed head, would suit this down to the T. She slowly, moves towards Riamu, still looking down and twiddling her thumbs. It is then, he notices, she is wearing his sandals, which are far to big for her.
"You just going to stand there or what?" Riamu asks the little girl.
Look up, the girl she's that her big brother has lifted one half of the bed covers, for her to get in wit him, and is looking at her with a smile. Giving her own smile back, she runs and jumps on the bed, hugging Riamu. "T-thanks" she says quietly. Settling down, she puts her arms and legs around his torso, hugging him like he was a big teddy bear. He pulls the covers over her to her neck, so she is nice and warm. But with the way she is positioned and the size difference between the two, it barely comes past the arm pit area. Doesn't matter anyway, he'll be up in a few hours anyway.
"So.. not that I don't like having you around, but why are you here. I thought you grew out of this ages ago." He says looking down to her.
"I.. erm.. I thought I was, but with that monster on the tv and..... and the lights not back on......." She says, making her grip on his a little tighter, even though she can't reach all the way round Riamu yet. But then again, she's only 5 and he's a growing teenager.
"Its okay Em's, everyone gets scared.... even me" Riamu says under his breath. Luckily for him, she didn't hear the last bit, with her being fast asleep. It always amazed him how fast she could get to sleep, it always took him at least half an hour to do so. Nevertheless, he was going to enjoy this moment with her. But his mind couldn't but help wonder to the "monster" on the TV before. It was a green bug man like creature, and no only could it talk, but it killed lots of innocent people. After it had enough of killing people, and doing what ever it did, he made it self known to the world, by force entering the TV station and announcing a tournament of some kind. He could have gone... but, he didn't know if he could beat the monster and not only that, who would take care of his sister, while he was gone. With no family and friends, he couldn't exactly ask for help. And if he was to be honest with him self, he was too scared to face that monster.
"I should of helped those innocent people, I could of saved them, I should of saved them, I.... I.. I ... Oh who am I kidding, no one can beat that thing. All I would of done, is got myself killed, and then who would of taken care of her, in these last few days. Damn you Cell, she didn't have that much left, why did you have to go and take the extra few days she had left?!" A tear escapes his eyes, and he can't help but wondering whats happening with the monster, and those how decided to stand against him.
---------------------------------------------------------- MEANWHILE ---------------------------------------------------
In a place that used to be near a very, very small town, there is a battle going on. The now the surrounding area is nothing but a waste land. In this place you will find two extraordinary fighters, one being a natural life, and the other artificial. They are currently shooting out mass amount of energy, that is clashing into a huge ball of energy in between them. So much so the ground around or near the ball of energy, is crushed or destroyed.
One of these fighters is called Gohan, he is a half Saiyan & Half Human being. He has glowing golden hair, a rich green for eye colour. The clothes he is wearing has seen better days, it's a purple T-shirt and pants that are lose, with a red material acting as a belt around his waist. Gohan represents Good
And the other fighters known as Cell. He is an android created by an evil scientist known as Doctor Gero. Cell has a green, black and white like hybrid body of an insect and a human. After absorbing the two other androids created by Doctor Gero, Cell gained his "ultimate form". Cell represents Evil
"Why can't you people just stay down! AHHH" Cell says increasing the energy he is using, to blow away the four earth fighters behind him. One being a bald small white male, wearing a orange suit, another being a white male with black hair, and a few scars here and there, with an orange suit as well. The third is a white bald male, wearing a white t-shirt and green pants, and finally the fourth is a green namekian wearing the same thing as Gohan, just for his size. All four go crashing a few yards away, Two of them get back up and continue the assault of Cell. Soon after the other two get back up and join their comrades. "They just keep lining up to die!!" Cells says to himself getting more frustrated. He increases the power direct to Gohan and the other 4 fighters, the energy ball between Cell and Gohan increases in size, but is now favouring Cell.
The four fighters put more power into their attacks. "AHHHH! NO CHANCE! YOU HAVE NO CHANCE!!!" Cell shouts drastically increasing the power to the four fighters, which slowly blows them away for good, one by one. Gohan see's this and is worried about them, but cell is just too strong. The energy ball is closing in on Gohan and because of this, he is being pushed back, dragging his feet into the ground. This looks like its it, for earth and maybe the universe, Cell is simply to strong. The found around them, starts breaking up and floating into the air, the planet starts shaking violently. And big cracks are appearing in the ground all over the world, and they slowly start to open up even more. The four fighters are down for the count, but they are not die, not yet anyway. If the fight isn't decided soon, the planet will blow up soon, leaving the fighters against Cell floating in space with no air to breath. And that wouldn't bother the android, seeing as he can breathe is space somehow. "SAY GOODBYE!!!" Cells shouts smugly, the energy ball is now dangerously close to Gohan, and has grown to an incredible size. "AHHHH!! MWHAHAHA" Cell laughs evilly.
BANG!!!
A big yellow energy ball is shot at Cell from above, making the android, almost knell to the floor. Looking up he see's the one person, Cell wished didn't interfere. "VEGETA?!!!" Cells concentration on the energy going to Gohan is effect greatly. "NOWS YOUR CHANCE!!!!" Screams Goku. And Gohan and gives everything he has left, into his energy. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" The energy ball is almost instantly incloses Cell, and it is now glowing various shades of blues and whites. It is too much for Cell and it shoots past his energy beam. Gohan pushes home his advantage and starts walking forward, keeping up the energy.
Cell starts breaking down into pieces, the energy is destroying his body. "AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Cell shouts in pain. Gohan gives it one last push and the energy beam explodes forward. Cell's body starts to break down even faster, and become disoriented. "I"LL BE BACK!!!!!!!!" Cells shouts before his voice is echoed into nothing. His body is now just bits and pieces, and not connect to each other. And continues to break down till there is nothing left, not even a single cell of Cell. Gohan guides the energy into space, so not to blow up the earth, after trying so hard to save it.
Gohan is floating in the air, while taking deep breaths of exhaustion. His energy is falling fast, and his glowing hair and skin turns back to normal. His hair is black and spike, like his dad's, but just more spiky. Soon Gohan falls to the floor, having not enough to keep him afloat in the air. And crashes on the floor on his back, sending a pain through his body. A few moments later, his friends gather around him and are smiling at him, well minus Vegeta obviously. Gohan laughs through the pain, taking in deep breaths.
"Huh, look at him. Guess saving the world takes a toll on you." Piccolo says looking at Gohan.
"Hey Gohan let me ask you something. Where you holding back all your power, all that time. Just to scare us? Because boy, it worked!" Krillen says looking down at Gohan, Who just looks at him and smiles.
"Gosh you guys, I can't believe we survived that!" Says Yamcha, reflecting on the events just gone.
"I know" Tien ages with him.
"And don't you worry about those bruises Gohan, we'll have Dende to fix you right up, you'll fell like a zillion bucks" Krillen says to Gohan.
Gohan continues to smile and laugh through the pain. Yamcha walks over to the side of Gohan, "Ive got you big guy" And he picks Gohan up in his hands and arms.
"Sorry, for the....... mess" Gohan says weakly, and blacks out from exhaustion in Yamcha's arms.
------------------------------------------------- BACK TO NORMAL POV----------------------------------------------
He is pulled out of his thoughts, by the sound of something like a trash can being nocked over, outside
"Damn it! If I have to clean up after those damn fuzz balls again, am going to drop kick them over the fence, so the next door dogs can get to them. Stupid cats, Thats why I prefer dogs, at least they are not annoying and knocking over the trash every bloody night" . Thinking to himself again. Putting on yesterday's t-shirt and some jogging pants, he goes and investigates. Opening the back door, very slowly, he see's that is pouring down. "God damn it, just my luck" . Grabbing the umbrella by the front door, and heading back to the back door, he exits the small one floor building, and looks around, to see.............. absolutely nothing out of the ordinary. "Thank fuck for that" . Sighing in relief, he turns around and heads for the back door.
"I wouldn't leave just yet, if I was you" A voice says behind him, which makes him immediately stops. "Good, you do listen." Turning around slowly, his eyes meet the newcomer eye's. The newcomer is a short yellowish green, wrinkly humanoid creature. "Kind looks like E.T, but a bit different" . Riamu thinks to himself.
"Well, thats rude! I could comment on what you look like, but Im not going to, if you stop." Riamu is stunned.
"Wha...who... HOW?! How did he....." Riamu starts to think to himself, before the newcomer beats him to what ever he is thinking.
"Don't worry, I was only reading the surface of your mind, I would need your permission to read further. Anyway, enough about that, I suppose your wondering, what a strange creature like me, is doing in your back garden? Well, to answer, the answer is I need you. And before you starting panicking and what ever your kind does, In return, I will heal your beloved sister. And yes that was on the surface of your mind, thats how I know." The newcomer says, whilst stroking and slightly pulling one of his whisker kind of things.
"........." Riamu doesn't know what to say, not only has a strange creature just shown up, be it can read minds, but inly whats on the surface apparently, and it knows about him and his sister condition. and it wants HIM, for some reason. "Oh god.... please please please please don't be here to dissect me, or probe me or what ever else. And for the love of God please don't let that, hurt my sister"
"I've already said not to start name calling. And besides, what would be the point in, hurting your sister anyway. Without my help, she won't last longer anyway. Either Cell gets to her, or that disease does. And why do humans always think that aliens like to probe things, especially their behinds. I mean really, the ear would be a far more better place to get information from the brain, than the rear. But aside from that, I promise no harm will come to your sister, if you do what I say. And don't worry, if you do what I say, she will be fine in no time. So... what will it be?"
"What should I do. Can he or she really heal Em's, and will it keep to it's word. And for that matter can I really trust it. I would try everything to Em's to be better again, but what if, it makes it worse."
"Oh for the love of...... You know what, screw this" The newcomer says. It suddenly raises both its hands towards Riamu, and grunts and groans loudly. Riamu suddenly feels a sharp and indescribable pain in his head. He falls to the floor, clutching his head.
"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Riamu screams at top of his lungs. He can only think of how much it hurts, at this point.
"Yes thats it, you belong to me now!" The newcomer continues his assault on tom's mind.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Riamu clutches his head tighter and curls into a ball on his knees. The pain starts to decrease as does his screams. When they finally stop, it's the biggest relief possible, in that moment of time, at least for Riamu anyway. Riamu looks up to glare at the newcomer. It's going to pay, for putting him in that much pain, and he is going to enjoy it.
"There, now was that so bad. I would have preferred to not have to do that, with little energy I have at the moment. But drastic times call for drastic measures. And will you look at that, Ive not even introduce myself, you will need to know your masters name after all. I am the wizard Babidi, son of Bibidi". The newcomer says with a small weak smile. "Now you are going to go and find some recruits for me, two specific recruits. Their names are Spopovich & Yamu. They're not as strong as you are now, or will be under my control, but like every game of chess, you need pawns. While you do that, I will look after your sister."
"I.... I.... I refuse." Riamu says weakly. "Theres, no way in hell, I will let you near her now".
Babidi is shocked. "What?!..... Oh well, you will have no choice in the matter. Now Arvada Kazam!" Babidi shouts, with his arms raised to Riamu. The surrounding area, around Riamu suddenly changes from his backyard to a dark alleyway.
"Shit!" Riamu grunts in frustration, kicking a can on the floor, driving it into a wall near by. "Fine! I will do your work, but If you even lay one finger on her Babidi, I will make you regret it."
---------------------------------------------------- FLASH FORWARD -------------------------------------------------
It's been 7 long years since, Babidi came into Riamu's life, and forced him to do what he wanted. He was 14 at the time and his Sister was 5. Now he is 21 years old, and she is 12. Babidi hasn't fully cured her yet, but Babidi keeps saying he is very close to finding the cure. But Riamu knows better, Babidi is just wasting for time, and when Riamu has done everything needed of him. Babidi will probably "cut him loose" as they say. Riamu is not an idiot. He knows his and his sister life, is resting on his shoulders, thats why, before the current job (which Riamu's gut is telling him is the last), he got his sister to a safe place.
This "safe place" is in a run down motel, in an almost forgotten town called Doffcocker. Their hasn't been any new buildings in this town for over 30 years, and the current one are hardly taken care of. So some are even starting to fall down, others are crumbling and getting there and the rare few might not have as much damage but still have a few battle scars as they say. How ever this motel they are in, might not be one of the one that have fallen down or are falling down, but is not one of the ones in better shape. The lights outside that used to light up the motel are all but faded and broken. The lift amazingly works, but moans and groans every time its in use. All the windows are dirty with muck, grease and you name it, its probably on there. The manager of the motel, committed sucided years ago, so its pretty much, first come first serve for the empty rooms. Thankfully the inside is that bad, considering. The apartment it self is a one bedroom one, with kitchen / dinning room / living room in one room and the bedroom and toilet leading of through 2 doors at the back.
But Riamu won't let Emily sleep on the bed, what with the sheets needing a wash desperately amongst other things. So the solution was the sleeping bag, he brought with them for her.
Its nothing fancy, just a plan light blue colour with a worn out picture of what used to be a cartoon bear. Riamu hates that this is all he can offer her, but then again. Its better than being dead and forgotten. Riamu shuts the door, and takes out a towel. Walking over to Emily, he starts drying her. It's been one of the worse storms in decades, and the pair feel like they battled with it to.
"R-r-r-r-a-a-a-a-a-y-y-y-y-y?" Emily asks, while Riamu is drying her hair.
Riamu stops and looks into her eyes "Yes what is it Em's"
Emily looks Riamu square in the face with no emotion what so ever and says "Nothing I just like the sound of my voice when you do that" Emily is now giggling. Riamu can't help but chuckle at his sister. After drying her hair off, he takes of her day clothes and outs on her PJ's on. Tucking her in, her sleeping bag, he leans down and lightly kisses her forehead. "Night Em's" Is all he says before leaving the room and turning of the light.
"Ray, where are you going?" Emily asks quietly rubbing her right eye with her wrist.
"I'm going to do one last job, then I will be back and we can't forget about them ok" Riamu says turning around to face his sister, putting on a force smile.
"Can't you just ...... stay and forget .......about it now?" She says between small yawns.
"Fine.... you got room for your big goofy brother?". Walking over and laying down next to her, she slowly reaches out. Putting her arm across his chest and head resting on his arm, and yawning once more. She looks up one last time "I love.... you". She says quietly to the end and drifting off to sleep.
---------------------------------------------------- FLASH FORWARD -------------------------------------------------
"Ah there you are Riamu, I've been expecting you. Did you get it ?" Babidi is facing a crystal ball with his back towards Riamu.
"Yes sir, its right here." Riamu pulls a piece of cloth, with something big and circular in side, out of his backpack.
"Excellent! Good work Riamu. You've never let me down, all the 7 years under my service. Dabura give him...... his reward"
Dabura steps forward out of the shadows. He is a tall red skinned demon guy. Dabura is referred to The Demon King He has pointy ears, going from nearly to the top of his forehead to the bottom of his eyes. He has two small horns coming out of his forehead and has a black M in-between them. However, some would say his eyes are the worse feature about him. His reptile like yellow eyes. Anyone who sees them, would say he has a stare of a cold blooded snake. He wears a blue open vest, with white collar. He has a white and gold belt, and the pants follow the same colour scheme of the vest / shirt. His boots and cape are a clean white, with the cape going down the boots, with a Dracula kind of style end. To top it all of, he has a black goatee, which makes him look like a re-incarnation of the devil, if you believe in that kind of stuff.
Before Riamu couldn't even blink, he felt a sudden huge amount of pain in his stomach. Looking down quickly as possible, he see's Dabura there, with his elbow, implanted in his stomach. The speed and force of the attack sent Riamu not just out of the room, but out of the building they were in. Not even seconds later Riamu burst out of the building at high speed, clutching his stomach. Using his energy, Riamu stops himself to a full stop with his arm spread out wide. Looking at the hole he just came shooting out of, because of Dabura. Speaking of the devil, he is not far behind Riamu, and is approaching at a high speed.
Quickly putting his hands together and aiming at Dabura, Riamu puts all his energy into this attack. Dabura stops and watches on, waiting for his opponent to attack. "HAAAAA!" Riamu screams. The beam of the attack shoots towards Dabura, but Dabura doesn't move, he just keeps his eyes on Riamu.
The attack hits its mark, and it cases a huge explosion. The surrounding area is covered in smoke. Riamu starts to smile "HA! *cough* that should teach them to *cough* mess with me! I better get going while I can....." Riamu was cut short, by a red fist coming out of the smoke and hitting him in the face. Riamu is sent flying back, and the attacker doesn't stop there. Bursting out of the smoke, he charges at Riamu laying a huge amount of punches to his victims torso. Then suddenly he teleports to above Riamu and kicks him to the ground.
Riamu lands on the ground with a loud bang, shaking the ground in the process. [i"]OWW! That bastard! That hurt!" Riamu thinks to himself. Once the smoke clears, he can get a look at the damage. His right leg is twisted, and his arms feel broken, but thankfully still attached. Riamu starts to cough up a small amount of blood. Its not long before Dabura is hovering above him, looking down at him.
"Such a pitiful creature you humans are. You look like your in pain, I'll put you out of your misery...... And then your sister once we find her" Dabura points his hand towards the injured Riamu, and starts to gather energy to finish him off.
"Wait Dabura, there still one last thing he can do for us. Although, he is to injured to do anything significant." Babidi floats over to Riamu, and pulling the device that Raimu hasn't seen before. It's looks like a big white temperature reader, they used in the old days. Babidi stabs Riamu with the sharp end. And what happens next Riamu finds it hard to explain. "Wha.. What is this feeling? Why do i feel weak all of a sudden?"
"You know Dabura I think I've had a change of heart. Instead of just killing him, why not give him what he deserves. A slow painful death. And I know just the planet to send him to...hehe" Babidi starts to chuckle. "Arvada....." Suddenly a lightning bolt makes its presence known, with a huge clash of sound. Its enough to make Babidi mess up the second half of the spell "AHAHAA!". Suddenly Riamu body is thrown backwards and a portal appears behind him, and he is thrown into it. "Must................... Stop................ myself....................... but.................... not............................. enough....................... energy.......................... Emily I'm sorry........................ please be forgive me" . Are Riamu lasts thoughts, and with that. Once Riamu has gone through, the portal shuts tight and disappears.
"Damn it! Oh well, he won't be coming back anytime, where ever he has gone". Babidi starts to laugh and floats away, with Dabura close behind him.
---------------------------------------------------------- ?????????? ---------------------------------------------------
Riamu groans in pain, its all he can think of at the moment. He can't remember anything because of the pain. And that includes why he is in pain. His can't feel his right leg, and his arms are numb. "Well this can't be good" He thinks to himself. Opening his eyes, his vision is blurry and the only thing he can tell what he is seeing at the moment is the blue sky above him. Suddenly a shadow appears above him.
"Oh...... you..... thing....... lets.......you..... before...... out.... late" Is all Riamu can catch in his state, before he slips into unconsciousness.

Experience is not what happens to you; it's what you do with what happens to you. - Aldous Huxley
On the outskirts of the small local town, also known as Ponyville. There is a small cottage built into a small hillside. This isn't a normal cottage mind you, this specific cottage houses one of the most important ponies in Equestria. Not because this individual is powerful in the sense of physical strength or in the sense of power in politics and such. This curtain individual is connected to the most powerful artifact in land's history. This artifact is known as "The Elements Of Harmony". And who is this being, you may ask... Well, its none other than the animal lover that goes by the name of Fluttershy. She is a butter coloured Pegasus with a pink mane and tail, with three butterflies as her cutie mark.
That said being, is currently tending to the chickens she has in her back garden. Humming a soft but catchy tune, this has the desired effect on the chickens. After placing down the chicken feed, and going inside the chicken coop and coming out roughly 30 seconds later, with a few eggs in a small basket. She exits the fenced in area, closing the small gate behind her. After taking the eggs inside, she comes back out to take care of the other animals she's not done already. Squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, ferrets and the like. It isn't for another hour or two thats she's almost done, with her routine. Coming up to the last one, she gingerly moves towards a small tree, just outside her property. On that tree is a small yellow wall and red roofed bird house.
After dealing with the last animal friend/(s), Fluttershy gives off a very quiet sigh in relief. Picking up the bags that holds the food for her animal friends, and placing them on her back. She heads towards her home to drop off the load, before she heads into the village / town to get more food for both her and her friends, amongst other things. Little did she know, her life was going to change for ever later today. To quote a curtain pony, a doozy is going to happen.
--------------------------------------------------- ????????????????? -----------------------------------------------
In a dark, gloomy room, there is currently a pony plotting something. The only light source coming from the tools the pony is using to make its ultimate plan. The pony looks over to a small object on the table next to it.
"It's almost Done!" Said the pony giving on a demonic smile, that would make joker envious. "Soon my creation will blow this town away! And nopony and I mean nopony, will be able to resist. Once they get a small sample of my creation! Mwwhahaha!" The pony throws its fore legs up in the air laughing evilly.
Looking over one last time to the table, the smile on the pony's face only grows, somehow defying the laws of ponies anatomy. Looking at the creation, to check it properly. The pony is rewarded with exactly what it wanted. "IT"S ALIVE!!!! MMWHAHAHHA!!!" The pony shouts in triumph.
Suddenly the lights switch on and another pony makes its presence known. Much to the surprise of the other. "Ermmm... whats alive?" comes a soft voice.
"GAHHHH!!!" The pony shouts in surprise, luckily the pony wasn't holding its creation. Getting a "Eeep" from the other pony. The pony's limbs frail about and the pony falls over the chair it was on, trying to grasp anything to not fall. But it's to no avail, the pony lands on its back, with an audible thud. Looking up to the direction of the newcomer, the pony's face goes from surprise and shock to pure happiness. "Hiya Fluttershy!"
Shielding behind her mane that drops over his right side of her face. "Oh.... ermmm.... hello pinkie. Ermm... if you don't mind me asking. But whats alive? That is.... if you want to tell me".
The one now dubbed Pinkie which happens to be pink (not really, no joke), very pink pony. Her coat is pinkie (shocker) but her mane is a darker pinkie, almost a red. But her eyes are strangely not pink, but blue. Her cutie mark is three balloons, 2 being a light blue, on level with each other, and a yellow one in the middle but a little bit higher up. "Well..... Bon bon made a new type really good candy today, and when I tried some I went *GASP* they where the best candies I have ever had in my entire Pinkie life, but that made me kind of sad, beucase sugar cube corner cupcakes are really good but not this good. Sooo good I though I better step up my game, to make cupcakes even better. So then me and bon bon could have the best candies and cupcakes in all of Equestria. But we wouldn't have the best, if I couldn't make my cupcakes any better. But I didn't know how to make the cupcakes better, because I haven't tasted a better cupcake than ours ever. But then it hit me, everything tastes better with sugar right? So I just put a little tiny bit more sugar in and a special ingredient, sorry but I can't tell you the secret ingredient because it wouldn't be a secret then would it. All I need to do now is sell them so ponies can taste the new and improved cupcakes of sugar cube corner, and once they do, they will be back for more and more and more and more. Although they were already doing that in the first place, but it should only increase, and then I can make ponies smile more often. Which is what I do, and love to do."
"I know I should be used to pinkie by now, but how did she say all that in one breath? But I didn't quiet catch all that... So I should ask her again" Fluttershy thought to herself. "Oh... okay. Well I was going home now, but seeing as I was coming this way, I though say hello"
Pinkie giggles "Hello Fluttershy. And say hello to your human for me will you". Pinkie says with a smile, that seems to be permanent.
"Huh... Ermm... Pinkie I don't have a human" Fluttershy says confused.
"What you don't? I must of read ahead of the chapter... Oops silly Pinkie" Pinkie continues to giggle.
Fluttershy decides just to put it down Pinkie being random. "I may think baby and young humans can be cute. But the grown ups" A shiver goes down fluttershy's spine They might not be as scary as dragons, but..... I still rather not be around one, unless its hurt or needs help Fluttershy thinks to herself completely forgetting she's in sugar cube corner apparently talking to Pinkie. "Hellooooo Equestria to Fluttershy anypony home in their?" Pinkie places a hoof on the unsuspecting pegasus. "EEEPPPP!"
"Ooooo imagine if you could have people living in your head. I so could use that space to put all my stuff in, so I don't have to use pinkie space all the time." Fluttershy calms down seeing it as only Pinkie.
"Well, there's no stopping her when she's like that. And besides I need to get this food back to angel can have something to eat" She thinks to herself. "Well.... Its been nice to see you again Pinkie, but I really have to go..... I mean... If thats okay with you"
Coming out of her talkative mode, Pinkie says her goodbyes to Fluttershy. On her way home, she says hello to passerby's with a smile or a nod. She is currently walking past the small lake Rainbow and Pinkie like to relax and hangout. Fluttershy herself likes to come to this particular lake because of the wildlife it attracts, ranging from small woodland creatures to bears or bigger.
KABOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The sudden extreme loud noise makes the ground around Fluttershy to be seemly shaking in fear like the Pegasus. Looking up towards where the sound came from. The sight makes all the blood in her face drain, leaving a complete pale face. "There is something coming straight towards me. There is something on FIRE coming straight towards me. I...... I.....I GOT TO MOVE NOW!!!!! " Fluttershy tries with all her might to move, but her body will not listen to her.
The projectile is only picking up speed, and is getting hotter. Getting closer and closer to is projected "landing" spot. Fluttershy closes her eyes and waits for the impact.
KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASPLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"EEPPPPPP" The noise breaks the trance Fluttershy's body was in and she dashes behind the nearest tree. Looking towards the lake, the only thing she sees is a wave, that goes higher than the tree's. Fluttershy clings onto the tree for her life, and soon she is swept away by the rushing water, a good 150 yards before she comes to a sliding stop. With the water making its way either back to the lake or in any holes or slants in the terrain, she gingerly gets back up. Giving her body a quick once over, she might of gained a few scratches, very small cuts and one or two small bruises, but thankfully nothing serious or needing immediate attention.
Fluttershy decides to see what ever that was, that crashed into the lake. An action which Fluttershy rarely does, well....... on her own. She is limbing slightly on her right side, its more of an annoyance than anything. Takes her a good minute or two to reach the lake, or rather what water is left of it. More like a deep pond now. Water is still going in, but the supply of it , is slow and gradually coming to a stop. She is about to turn and go try and find the stuff she bought in the market today, because she can't see what ever it was that crashed. But something catches her eye. There is a small dart shadow under the water, and its seems to be getting bigger.
"Maybe that is, what ever crashed, and it's coming up to the surface......... Wait.... what ever crashed is coming up to..... where I am......" A shiver runs down her spine, and is about to run and fly as fast as her legs and wings can take her. But what ever it is, finally surfaces and takes a.... Deep breath for air?
Looking back, she see's a creature that she can't properly see from the distance she is at. But she spots the surrounding water around it, is turn red. "Red?............... What could possibly make the water turn.................. " Fluttershy breaks out of her inner thoughts and rushes over to it. Getting closer she can see more of its features. It turns out to be none other than a human. "OH MY GOSH!! Did the water drag you into the lake? Where did you get those injuries" She glances at the cuts, bruises and immediately forgetting her questions, and just wanting to take care of it. "Oh you poor thing..... Lets get you out of the water, before you freeze and drown! And get those injuries taken care of before its to late."
Flying across the water, she bites onto the strange clothing its in and drags it across the water to the small used to be small beach. Placing the human, very tall human, on the ground near the lake. "How did.... you... get.... some big and.... heavy" She says between breaths for air. "I'm going to have to get and get my first aid kit...... I'll be right back". She makes her way to her house, at a faster speed than normal for her. Even Rainbow Dash would be impressed.
----------------------------------------------------- FLASH FOWARD -------------------------------------------------
It didn't take long for Fluttershy to get back home, she searches frantically for her first aid kit. After a little bit, she finds her target, and rushes back out the door. Leaving a confused small white rabbit on the sofa.
After only one or two minutes, Fluttershy is just around the corner where, she had the left the injuries human. Racing threw the trees, she comes to a stop just mere inches from where she left him or her. She didn't really look at what gender is was, being it was badly injured and all. But where she should have found the human, she only found the little pool of blood the human left.
She gasps, letting going of the first aid kit handle in her mouth. Which drops to the floor and the items held within, bursts out. Looking down for a spilt seconds, she notices drops of blood going away from the small pool of blood. Following the direction the drops of blood go with her eyes. It leads to the one place she wish, oh how she wished it wouldn't lead the Everfree forest. She then executes the protocol of gasping then very quickly after, faints.

After being sucked into the portal, that bastard Babidi made. All Riamu could feel is mainly two things. One being immense pain, and the other is the feeling off falling. Riamu doesn't even have the energy to scream, never mind to try stop his decent. Opening his eyes, all he can see is a purple-orange ball surrounding him. Stretching his arm out slowly, his hand passes threw it with ease. His vision is starting to blur and it's getting hard to keep them open "This is it..... I'm going to die......" He thinks to himself. Giving into defeat, he looks in the direction he is falling and closes his eyes.
His face is now turning blue and purple, and the headache is only getting stronger. But fortunately for him, he's starting to pass out from the pain. Daring to open one of his eyes for the last time, he see's a small blue dot, getting closer and bigger and more distorted. And thats the last thing he see's before passing out.
---------------------------------------------------- ???????????????? -----------------------------------------------
Alone. That is the perfect word Riamu would use right now to describe where he is. But when you think of alone, you think theres no people near you. But in this case, it means alone from everything. Theres no light, no dark, no up or down, there's absolutely nothing, apart from himself. In fact Riamu would also say there is no time in this place. How might he know that you ask, well. That is almost impossible to explain fully, but it's noticeable when it's not there. It's a feeling that everything that can feel, feels every day, every minute, every second, and for that reason, no one can tell you how time feels. Because you need to compare it to something, or have felt it either stronger or weaker than normal. You wouldn't know what happiness felt like, unless you have been sad (or someone told you what it felt like, but I digress). It's always there at the back of your mind.
"H-Hello is anyone there?" Riamu only gets complete silence as a reply. He turns in every way he possibly can, and all he see's is white. Some people think that, in a place like this, it would be just pitch black without any light. But darkness can't exist without light. "Am I dead? Is this the after life?" Are the questions going through Riamu's head right now. Falling on to his knee's and putting his head into his cupping hands, Riamu tries to keep it together.
"It's ok, everything is going to be ok" came a woman's voice behind him and not even a split second before he felt a hand on his shoulder. Jumping up in fright and surprise, he quickly turns around, to see no one is there. "I've finally gone insane haven't I?" He tries to think to himself, but he fast beating heart is putting up a good fight, to stop him. After a few of uneventful minutes, his heart beat finally starts to come down. He starts to feel calm................. To calm. He starts to feel tired, stretching his arms above his head, while yawning. He lays down on the floor (even though there is no floor to begin with), and is falling asleep. He tries to fight his body's need to sleep, but to quote a curtain agent "Its inevitable". And he once again he is out like a light.
--------------------------------------------------------- RIAMU POV ----------------------------------------------------
"Ahhh pain my old friend, we meet again...... Even after all this time, your still a bastard" . Thankfully his body is starting to go numb, wether this is good or bad he can't decide. Reason's being, the pain was to an extreme and this could be the, tell tale sign of permanent damage. And on the other hand, the pain was slowly going. Opening his eyes, he is greeted with a bright slight, and he instantly flinches back and shuts his eyes. Trying again this time, slowly but surely, he gets used to the level of brightness. "How did I get here? Where is here anyway, and I don't remember being near a lake or for that matter, going for a swim. Although I wonder who that voice belonged to? Was it an angel who saved me, or the devil, because I owe him or her something. For all I know the devil could be a guy, but has a female voice and....... Wait, why am I thinking about if the devil is a male or female with a female voice...... Idiot! I must have really hit my head hard. First things first, need to try and move and see what I can and can't use. Then find out where I am, then find some food and shelter, and last very important thing, where is my hat. I swear if I find an animal trying to eat it again, I will kill it and go and eat it, in front of its family and.... Wow that was dark...... Okay, moving on from..... what ever that was, I need to get up"
Testing out his limbs, his legs are in bad shape, but can still but used, his right arm is totalled. At least for now, but it's not broken, soooo... yeah. To the outside world, it would have been an interesting sight indeed. An injured ape like creature, wearing white and blue trainers, royal blue - dark blue jeans, a torn to bits white shirt, of what looks like it was one of those shirts with quirky remarks (for example: A picture of Old woman in a pinkie woolly top smiling at the viewer and with the caption "I Used To Say Fuck Off, But Now I Say That's Nice").
(Better late than never right) Riamu is a 21 year old man. He has white skin, with a little bit of a tan looked to it. Jet black hair, stands at roughly 6"1, has hazel eyes, and anyone would say he's a good looking chap. Not as good looking as most celebs, but it could get him a few dates lets just say or at least a few one night stands. However he is missing his trademark Stetson hat .
Standing up was a little more difficult than Riamu first thought. But at least the pain is more bearable. Taking in his surroundings, all he can see is a lake, a dirt path leading somewhere and a Forrest in the distant. Or at least he thinks its in the distance, his vision is not exactly working properly at the moment. GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"Guess I was hunger than I thought. So where can I get some food? The dirt road will probably lead to somewhere, but that could be for miles, before any civilisation. Or I could go and check that forest, their will more than likely be some kind of food in there" Making up his mind, Riamu starts to limp over the forest, leaving a trail of blood in his wake.
-------------------------------------------------------- MEANWHILE ---------------------------------------------------
"So you see, I think I have the right to cut it down. It's an eye sore, and it attracts a lot of nasty birds, insects and the like. And I've had enough of it. I only had my coat done, and I don't want some.... Feather brain bird, ruining it." A slightly over weight stallion said.
"I... See." is the reply he gets. "Finally he has stop talking, thank Solaris. I swear the "problems" these nobles have now a days are nothing more than trivial at best. Sometimes I wish I would just drop them on somepony else.... But that wouldn't be fair on them. I wouldn't even do that to most of Equestria's enemies. I... Really need some cake right about now"
"After taking everything into account Mr Goldsmith, But Like I said yesterday. Things like this should be taken to the local Council, not The day court." The pony now dubbed as Goldsmith starts to protest. "However If I may say so. Something like this, is more than likely is not in your favour. For one it's not part of your estate, and two you would always attract wild life, with plant life. And third the City's Planning agreement clearly states that there needs to be some kind of plant life within 10 properties, and yours just happens to be near one. And forth from what you told me, it's nothing major. And if the Council doesn't see it your way, I would recommend buying more coat cleaning products. That is all Mr Goldsmith, have a nice day".
Goldsmith bows and leaves the room, mumbling under his breath. The big heavy doors close behind him, letting the pony still in the room to let out a little sigh of relief. "I though it was never going to end. Maybe I shouldn't have said that about the coat cleaning items, but...... Ooo who am I kidding, the look on his face was totally worth it. I think I will call it a day for now" She thinks to herself, letting on a very quiet giggle.
"Guard, please inform the ponies outside that day Court is now closed, and they can come back tomorrow morning."
"Yes, your highness" Says the Guard bowing and leaving the room, in a slow trot.
"I wonder how Philomena is doing. I better go and check up on her....." The mare feels a sudden pain in her head, and almost falling to the floor, but manages to stay on her hooves. "PRINCESS CELESTIA!, Are you ok?" asks one or two guards at the same time. "What..... Was.... That?!! That felt like...... No.... No it can't be. I-I must go and ask Luna, see what she thinks, before I react"
"I'm... Ok thanks, you may stand down. I need to go and talk to my sister. You are dismissed for the rest of the day." And with that, she teleports off before any the Guards can reply. In a blink off an eye, Celestia is teleported from the throne room to a dark room. Princess Celestia is a tall white Alicorn, with 4 coloured mane. Those colours being light blue, light green, light purple and pink. The mane it self has a twinkle effect and a never ending moving in the slow wind kind of effect. And she has violet eyes. She always wears her royal jewellery in public, those being golden breast plate and golden horseshoe's, and obviously her gold crown. The crown and chest plate each have a perfectly crafted purple gem in the dead centre of each piece. And finally she has a image of a sun on her flanks. Anyway back to the story. The room it self, is painted navy blue faded to a very dark blue in places, with little light cream spots dotted all over, some bigger than others. The effect of this, is a very realistic painting of the night sky. In the dead centre of the room, is a big double sizes beed, with their own see through dark blue curtains. Walking over to the bed, the mare pulls back the curtains, and muzzles the sleeping pony awake.
"T-Tia??? Why have thou waken us.... From our slumber?" Says the half asleep mare. She is a navy blue Alicorn, with lighter blues colour mane, with little twinles in there as well. The night sky comes to mind when you see it. And much like her Sister, her mane is blowing in the none existent wind. But with sleeping and laying on he bed, it's stuck in a wild and messy style otherwise known as bed-head. And she has a deep teal eye colour, with an image of the moon on her flanks. This pony is known as none other than Princess Luna, Co-Ruler of Equestria and Princess of the night.
"I'm sorry Lulu but....." Celestia explains what she felt, and what it could mean. Meanwhile Luna expression is going from shock to concern. "I could be all in my head but.... I only know of a few, who have that kind of power. And most of them, are not to be trusted. Like I said, It could just be me over reacting, but I think it might be best if we were on alert for the seeable future, just incase. But we must act like nothing has happened, it will only cause panic, if we don't. So can you monitor our subjects dreams, looking for anything strange and tell me if you find anything."
Luna nods with a smile "Thee can count on us Tia".
-------------------------------------------------------- MEANWHILE ---------------------------------------------------
The sun is high in the sky, with barely a cloud in sight. All is well in the town called Ponyville, and in that said town is a big diamond shaped castle, that looks like a tree. This brings a hole new meaning to the word tree house, or in this case tree castle. In this castle there is a purple mare, having a staring contest with a book. Reading, and re-reading it to make sure, she read it properly this first few times. This mare is laying down on a plush read cushion with sliver edges. Her "new-ish" required wings, are lazily placed by her sides. Even though she is as not as bad as she first was with them. She still isn't up to the standard off being able to fly comfortably or just using them to glide and such.
After readjusting her wings a bit, her tail moves away from her flank, revealing her cutie mark, which is a big star int he middle, with smaller one going around it. Activating her magic, there is a purple-grey mixture of an aura around her horn, and the sound of something like wind chimes can be heard.
"Now going by these calculations if I add two hairs from a pegasus's feather into this, It should create a solution that can temperately make a pony have the ability to walk on clouds. Annnnndddd there. Lets test it shall we. The best place to test this would be the local lake, incase of a fall and no pony can get to them in time" Moving her wings as she says that. "Then at least they will have the water, to break thier fall.... sort of........ And seeing as I'm are going to meet the girls there anyway, might as well try it there with them".
She levitates the book back to its correct place, and going over her check-triple check list one last time, she nods in approval. Walking out of the library and leaving a note on the door, incase any pony came over, how ever unlikely it is, with these ponies that live round here. It's not long before she passes Rarity's and is not far now, from the meeting place she and her friends agreed to. Trotting over the small hill, she can see her friends, smiling, laughing and talking under a tree, in the shade. Well, most of them, Rainbow is probably nearby practicing or is late. "Hey girls, nice d......." Is all she can say, before she is assaulted by a very pink blur. Crashing to the floor, with what feels like a python's grip, hugging her torso. "PIN...KIE.....CAN...'T.......BREATHE!!!"
"Oopsie daisy" The pink fluff none now as Pinkie, lets her 'prey' go, gasping for air. Rest of Twilight's friends come over, seeing if their friend was ok. "You okay sugarcube?" an orange pony with a cowboy's hat on her head, asked, offering a hoof to help Twilight up.
After getting her breath back, she accepts the hoof, and gets up. "Yes.... Im okay, thanks for asking AJ".
"Why darling, what ever is that, you have behind you?" Asks the only Unicorn in the group, with Twilight being a Alicorn now.
"It's a potion I've created so none Pegasi can walk on clouds." Twilight said with a smile
"I thought there was already a spell for that egghead?" A voice said behind Twilight. "GAH!!!". The newcomer was now laughing to themselves. Placing a hoof on her chest, in order to stop her heart from bursting out. Twilight used the breathing technique a very close friend taught her a long time ago. She didn't need to look in order to know who it is, it is none other than Queen modesty her self, aka Rainbow Dash.
Ignoring the fact that Rainbow just scared the living Tartarus out of her, she began to explain. "Well, there is a spell for it, But.... With this they will only need a drop, and the effects last longer. AND it doesn't need as much magic, because the full bottle can be enchanted, and seeing as they only need a drop, they won't have to keep enchanting it. And with this ponies will be able to go to places like cloudsdale any time they want. That is if it works the why I planned."
"Geeze Twi I didn't want a history lesson". Twi smile's sheepishly, rubbing back of her head, and looks to the group. "Well, while we are on the topic. I need somepony to try this. Seeing as I have wings now, this won't work on me anymore." She said keeping the smile. Before any pony else can think on what she said, Pinkie is sitting at a desk, raising her hoof.
"Oh Oh pick me! Please Miss Twilight pick me!" Pinkie was now slightly hoping on her chair, and if she stretch her arm anymore, it could come off. But there was one thing, Twilight could help but to ask. "Where did you get that desk and chair from Pinkie?". She already knew the answer to it, once it left her mouth. "Why you silly filly, becuase I have desk and chairs, stashed all round Ponyville, incase of 'desk or chair' emergencies." She says with a smile.
Twilight sighs "Fine, Pinkie you can.....". To add to Twilights confusion of the pink pony, somehow there is a straw going threw the glass bottle. To where Pinkie takes a sip and pulls out the straw, and somehow the glass doesn't looked like ti every happened. Giving up and moving on, Twilight looks to Rainbow "Anyway, I was wondering if you could, take Pinkie up to a cloud and catch her is she falls threw. I would, but.... I'm still not used to these yet" She says moving her wings in time with what she was saying.
"Why darling, haven't you had them long enough to know how to use them?" Rairty asks.
"Not really, Im still not used to the hole princess thing, never mind these. I'm getting better with them yes, but still..."
"It's okay Twi, I can do it. I'm not the best flyer in Equestria for nothing you know. Come on Pinks, lets do this" Pinkie hops onto Rainbow's back, and straps herself in, with a seat belt. Rainbow learned long ago not to question the Pinkie Pie. As shoots of to the nearest cloud.
"And there goes Miss Modesty herself. So how have yah been Twi" Applejack asks, walking over.
"I've been doing fine, thanks for asking AJ. Other than this potion I've not got anything From the princesses, no monster has been terrorising the town or anywhere else, there's been no bad events recently and I've not had any 'Royal' duties to do. So if I'm going to be honest, it's been quite dull. Not that I'm complaining, its nice to have peace and quite now and again, but all the time, when there was that stuff happened virtually everyday."
"I am incline to agree, even though I've been busy with orders recently. I've kind of missed the adventure of it all." Rarity says agreeing with Twilight.
Applejack nods also in agreement. Twilight then see's one of her other close friends, know as Fluttershy. It's hard to notice her sometimes, what with her being so quiet. "Oh hello Fluttershy I didn't see you there......." Its only now that she seems..... off. "Is everything okay Shy? You look kinda.... sad"
Fluttershy sighs very quietly "Um... well... Today I was on my way home after buying some food for my animal friends. And then there was this big bang, and something landed in the lake. And when I looked something was coming up, and I kinda.... hid.... And when I looked there was an Injured human. And when I went home to get my first aid pack, when I returned it was gone. But it left a trail of....... Blood..... which lead to the" she gulped "The Everfree Forrest". It is now that tears are coming out of her eyes. "I know I'm scared of adult humans, but I just hope it's okay in there".
"I'm sorry Fluttershy, but the odds of it surviving in there are...." Twilight didn't finished her sentence, but simply hugged her friend, as she quietly cried into her shoulder. Fluttershy stopped crying a few minutes, but sniffling now and then. SPLASH!!! the sudden sound made the group, while the shouted out the varieties of "EEP", "GAH!" "WHOA NELLY" & "AAAAH!". They slowly looked over to the lake, taking slow and tiny steps, once arrive they each leaned forward. Until they could see each other's reflection.... there was something in there, a black figure getting closer. But judging by the size, it was either really small or really far away. "GAAAAASSSPPPP!!!!"
Yet again the group was scared out of their skins and did the same thing as before. Twilight and Applejack where getting a bit annoyed at this and looked to see who was responsible, it was none other than Pinkie. Who was shockingly laughing at their reactions, they not soon after, also heard somepony else laughing up a storm. "RD!! Y'ALL GET DOWN HERE SO AH CAN KICK YOUR FLANK!!" This only increased the laughter. RD aka Rainbow, was on a cloud about 20 yards up, she poked her head over the side still laughing.
"Yeah..... Sure..... like.... you.... could..... beat.... me...... scaredy..... pony" RD said in between laughs. AJ's face only got angrier, as it was turning red. Twilight decided to ignore the pair and turned to the always laughing Pinkie. "Pinkie.... I'm guessing it didn't work, seeing as you're here."
Pinkie shook her head "Nope. It woke perfectly, now I can see all my Pegasus friends and make new ones anytime I want. This is the bestist raspberry cloud walking potion ever! *GASP* You know what this means??!! NowICanAlsoTakeMyAwesomenessPartiesToCloudCitiesAndTownAnd...." By now Twilight had put her hoof in Pinkie's mouth.
"So it worked?" Twilight said out loud. "But what did you mean by raspberry? The potion shouldn't have any flavour.... You know what forget it." Twilight was too happy to care. Maybe this will finally get here the Hoofington Award, that she wanted for some time.
-------------------------------------------------------- MEANWHILE ---------------------------------------------------
It didn't take long for Riamu to find his Stenson and to reach the forest. Once in side it was actually darker inside than it looked. But he could still see fine. Besides, just because a forest is dark, doesn't mean its all mean, scary and dangerous. This forest just seemed like that.... right? Looking in every direction he could, it took a while to find some food. Berries. Riamu sighed, not the most ideal food, and no where near his favourite. Being not most ideal because you have to eat a lot more of them, compared to say potatoes. Still he would rather have these over some foods like broccoli or cabbages. There was only one problem, what if this berries where poisonous. For that matter what if all food he finds is poisonous to him, what being from a different planet and all. He still could still be on earth.... but it just didn't feel like earth, and the fact that, that shrimp bastard Babidi said before he sent him into the portal.
Deciding that just standing here, thinking negative thoughts, and not eating wouldn't do him any good. So gingerly taking one of the berries of the bush, and tasting and swallowing it, he waited for any kind of reaction to eating them. After 30 seconds of nothing he was satisfied that there were poisonous, she he pig'd on down, as they say. Now he could hardly ever eat as much as normally Saiyans could, after seeing what he mother could eat. But when he was this hungry the Saiyan in him came out. The poor berries never stood a chance, and he left the bush empty.
After his feast on berries Riamu decided to either find or make some shelter. Being injured and all, he will look for some first. Choosing a random direction, he started to walk. The good thing about have Saiyan attributes, they have much better senses and instincts than humans. I.e have better hearing and are more.... attune with animals, but more with predator species than the prey species. And having a tail was pretty awesome, it does have its draw backs though, or at least with Saiyan's ones at least. Yes they make the Saiyan stronger, and make than able to transform into wereapes. His mother did tell him what the proper name for it was, but he was only young before she....... left. It was also there weakest spot, someone only ha to grab it to make them weak. Also stroking it as his found out to his own price, makes the Saiyan or in his case half Saiyan, tends to make them sleepy.
Thankfully, or at the time unthankfully, his mother training his tail. Well, before she carried his sister. And his father picked up the pieces. But the one thing his mother didn't and couldn't teach him was, how to be in control when he transformed. She never was in control, so therefore couldn't teach him. It's not that she wasn't strong enough physically, it just that apart from being a lot smarter than average Saiyans, she was one of a kind. Being that she was a kind spirit. And it's a lot harder for kind hearted Saiyans to control the beast within that is the opposite. Luckily, when there was a full moon on the way, the 3 of them (being himself, his sister and mother) stayed in the basement that was renovated. So they could stay down there in comfort.
After 20-30 minutes isn, Riamu was about to give up, until he saw a damaged wooden bridge. There wouldn't be a bridge he, unless there was something on the other side. Although some people like exploring and hiking and as such. But normally it meant the former. He was too weak to fly all the way across, so if he wanted to cross, he would have to cross the death trap of all wooden bridges. Gingerly putting a foot on the first plank, and testing it with his weight. He wait for either it to give way or not............. cccrrrrreeeeaaaakkkkk He mentally cringed and flinch at little, But it didn't break, or the bridge it self for that matter. Standing on the plank he tested the next, and the next and the next. His pace was picking up as was his confidence in the stability of the bridge. "Its not breaking? HA take that universe!" But as any adventure, horror and some other genres of films, games and etc, that being too "confident" or "cocky" means, something will happen to that character.
SNNNAAAAPPPP!!!
Riamu foot fell throw the floor of the bridge, almost taking his hole body with it, as the broken plank falls to its doom. (Although being broken, wouldn't that already be its doom?) Riamu's arms and hands frantically moved about, trying to grab ahold of anything to stop his descent to the bottomless pit. He managed to get one hand on the side rope. He could hear the ropes being to strain with the added stress. He feared that, if he didn't act fast, he would be joining that plank in the pit. So using some of his limited energy, he made himself lighter. By not flying , and not fully hovering, just enough to make himself lighter, but not using his energy quickly. He was at half way across, so picking up the pace, he almost speed walked across, thankfully with no more events.
Once his feet touched the other side, he got down on his knee's and started kissing (metaphorically) the ground. "ground, sweet, sweet beautiful ground" Riamu didn't have fear of heights or anything, but who doesn't have a tiny bit of fear of falling to their demise. Getting up of his knees, after his ass kissing. Riamu saw a path, it wasn't easy to see, it almost blends with the rest of the forest floor. So following the path for a few minutes, much to Riamu delight, there stood in front of him a run down castle? It looked like a castle, it could just be a very old mansion or something. And being on a different planet, probably would mean differences in their cultures and so on. So for all he knew, this building could be one person's house or outhouse. But something this big couldn't be that, unless the owner was huge. Or rather ex-owner, seeing it's in ruin now.
After walking around the ruined building, Riamu noticed a double door. It was big, but it wasn't big enough to say that something really big used to live here. So this being a outhouse and or other types of shelters or buildings, were crossed off. It was more or less, looking like a castle. Walking unto the double height double doors, he pushed them upon, with all his strength. They slowly opened up, unlocking the building secrets, that have remained that for all he knew, could be hundreds of years.

Chapter 3 - The Dark Side Of Dreams
Riamu Stepped inside the run down castle. The big double doors, slowly closing behind him, creaking as they went. With the roof missing there wasn't the need for a light, and it is still day time, but near the end. The roof was not the only thing missing, some parts of the walls where to, and it looked like there used to be glass in them. So maybe the architecture wasn't that different from his world, in the medieval era. The patio or entrance room Riamu guessed, was quiet big. The carpet or big rug, still has is colour, or what he could see under all the dust and muck. Seriously there was like few inches of dust in here. But seeing the roof was missing, maybe it didn't get that windy around here. It would make sense with all the tree arounds, sheltering the ruined castle somewhat. Suddenly Riamu felt... strange. The walls seemed to move? "Thats strange, walls don't move... unless this is Hogwarts" Riamu mentally gasped. "This is so Hogwarts! But why is it so messy? Has Hagrid not being doing his job? Orrrr has Voldermort finally won? No that can't be. That plastic surgery addict can't win, not when I'm finally here. Man thats so unfair......... what was I thinking about?" Riamu was swaying from side to side, and falling and keep getting back up. He was off his mind. The scenery of castle changed to fields of grass and flowers. Riamu stopped looking at his surrounds until he saw a 2 foot flower, dressed in casual clothing, I.E a simple white shirt and blue jeans. "Awww look at the beautiful Sunflower. Noooo I don't want your honey, you need it to fight off the tulips in the winter. But I can't say no to that mug of shake over there. Hehe this is awesome. Hey I don't mean to be so forward Mrs sunflower, but why do you smell so good?" Riamu then licks the 'Sunflower'. "Hehe, lemon and ...... chocolate? That... is.... so..... AWESOME. Come here, I want some more". Scared by Riamu actions, and wanting to eat her, she ran away. "Noooo Mrs Sunflower, I won't eat you, I just want to lick you like a lollipop" Riamu began running after her, stumbling along the way.
The Sunflower ran up a steep hill, with Riamu falling here. After what seems a while, Riamu ran right into something hard, and making him fall on his butt. "Owww... what did I hit?" Rubbing his head, he looked up..... Standing in front of him was a pissed of see-through 10 of ace's card. It stuck its head up and walked passed him, ignoring him. Shrugging, Riamu went back to his task. However the scenery changed from happy to dark. The once sunflower he was chasing seemed off. It was smiling but not the happy smile, or the sad smile. It was hard to place it as first. Suddenly Riamu could see something shinning coming out of the top of it's forehead. It was the size of a pin, but slowly got bigger, and the colours became more define. It was red, and shiny. It slowly creaped down her face, weaving down to her nose. And collecting at the tip, then dripping down to the floor. She was staring at him, with the smile plastered on her face.
It was creeping him out. "Well hello there Riamu, fancy seeing you here. You know, I've always liked you. And seeing you want a ..... taste of me. I won't mind giving you a bit, so you can see what could be yours." She pulled out a 1 foot knife, to which it makes it looks like its huge, when being held by a 2 foot sunflower. Riamu flinch and gasped a little, backing up a small step. Before he could think of something, the Sunflower handed the knife to another sunflower, who came out of no where. The recently new being, raised the knife, and brought it down on Mrs Sunflower, cutting of half of her face, instantly. She didn't even scream in pain or anything. The amputated piece of face, fell to the floor. Riamu could easily see the brain, the eye, the inside of nose and mouth. After a few seconds, blood started to flow out of the recently chopped of Sunflower head.
Mrs Sunflower walked over to her missing head, and sucked all the blood away, leaving the dry chopped of head for all to see. She looked over to him, with what he could only tell what half a suggestive look. Her smile grew (pun intended) to which would make a maniac jealous. Before he could react, Riamu found himself into a stone chair, strapped to it. He tried to move his arms, legs and head, with everything he could muster. This only made Mrs Sunflower giggle "Don't try and get out of there now, were just getting to the good bit. And trust me, you are going to enjoy every bit of this."
She thrusted her hand into Riamu's mouth, which are petals shaped into a hand. Forcing the chopped of half of a face, down his throat. Quickly taking her hand out of his mouth, covered is saliva, she forced his mouth shut. And covered his mouth, and pinch his nose. It only took of a few panicked filled seconds, for Riamu to instinctively, but very, very reluctantly swallow. His throat dis-formed as the half of the sunflower was pushed down to his awaiting stomach. The Sunflower took her hand away, to let Riamu breathe. To which he almost spilled his guts of his newly required meal. Riamu is in shock, and is struggling to even process what is happening to even starting reacting.
"Whats the matter not good enough for you?" Mrs Sunflower asked getting a little annoyed. "Or..... do you want something else?" Riamu mentally flinched. "Well, I'm not one to do this on the first date, but 'fuck it' as you humans say. But I don't think you like being called an 'it' now do you?" The sunflower's body started to shift and changed form, it was both weirdly awesome and sickening. Starting from the bottom, the dirty roots turned into feet. They looked like human feet, but the texture of the roots covering them. Next were the legs, the saming thing, but the legs where green and the texture or patter of leaves was there. Hips sooner followed, they where the size of what you would find on models. To Riamu's discomfort or comfort depending on your view point, you can guess what came next. Some guys or women depending on their sexual preference where either a 'boob' person or a 'ass person'. Riamu was defiantly the latter. Even though its made out of leafs, he couldn't take his eyes of it, so he didn't see the rest of the 'transformation'. The now fully formed plant human, would give any human models, the run for their money. If he weren't in this situation and she was a human.... well, he would be more accepting, lets say. Thats not to say his body wasn't, if you catch my drift. Her feet and ankles where white, with some browns and blacks mixed in patches here and there. Her legs to her torso, arms and neck where a vibrant green. Her head was a brown, and her hair was sun yellow.
"Already excited I see" The sunflower giggled. "It's not my best work, i'll admit, but you seem to like it...... Now where were we?" She asked with her eye half closed. Sickeningly she was still missing half of her head. And what with the petals out of the way, he could she inside of her head. The leaves inside, where crushed, stretched, curled and straightened to make it look exactly like it would, if her head was a human's. "I'm guess you're wondering, why you're not freaking out at this point hmm? Well, lets just say I have something to do with that. Spores are so useful these days. But even with the chit chat, It's been so.... Long since I last had this kind of attention. I hope you don't disappoint, otherwise.... well, hopefully you won't find out"
Riamu suddenly found himself on a plush bed, with the plant human hybrid, looking down at him. Slowly she lifting her leg, and put it over the other side of Riamu. The half human and saiyan wanted to move, want to get her away from him, but no matter what his body wouldn't listen. A metal click'ing sound echoed around the room, Riamu was puzzled by it for a second until he felt his pants, being slowly slid off. Before he could protest, he felt an invader in his mouth. It easily pinned down his tongue, and ventured down to the back of his throat. He gagged when he felt something else being pumped down his gullet. It wasn't any liquid thats for sure, but it wasn't a solid either. The invader suddenly stopped and pulled out. Revealing Mrs Sunflower with a smirk on her face, whipping her mouth.
"Not the best kisser, I've ever had, but differently not the worst. Can't wait to try the rest of you, but as they say 'good things come to those who wait'. Just so you know, you might want to be in the sun for the next month. FYI the half of my face I sent down and the special spores, they should be activating soon. And it isn't going to be enjoyable, but the time after that with me, will" She winks at Riamu.
"Wha-What the hell did you do to me?" Riamu finally finding his voice.
"Oh nothing much, lets just say you won't be human anymore. Although you are only half human at the moment, but I digress. Now how about we get straight to the good bit hmm?" She let her legs go limp, sending her body straight down onto his. Riamu grunted, 'Wow, she is a lot heavier than she looks' He thinks to himself. "Hey, thats not nice. I know and not some of your human skinny women, but at least its all in the right places."
"H-h-how?"
"You really think I can't read your mind, you silly human. Once I'm done with you, I won't need to". And like that, Riamu's boxers betrayed him, and went to mingle with his pants. Leaving his bottom half fully in the nude. She decided to tease him, by touching his little guy with her 'flower', and moving up and down it. All his ability to think, might as well be none existence. Suddenly the bed disappeared, and he landed painfully on his back, winding him. Before he could blink, he felt something in his stomach. Looking down, he saw a knife wedged in it. He didn't even feel anything, looking up he saw Mrs sunflower glaring at him, with the angriest face he has ever seen.
"You really think I'm that easy do you? You really think I would give my self to something like you? HA! YOUR PATHETIC!" She twisted and moved the knife across his stomach, and then yanked it out. Making Riamu's organs, to spill out all over the floor. Now he felt the pain. He fell to the floor clutching of what is left of his stomach, screaming in pain. The Sunflower slammed her foot down, right next to his face, to make him look up at her. "You pathetic low life, this is were we say goodbye..... NOW DIE!!!" She threw the knife at his head, he didn't have time to do anything. All he saw was the knife turning and getting closer to his face, or more specifically his eye. He braced himself, as the knife was only 1 cm away from his eyeball.
Riamu waited for the killing blow. But it never came. Opening his eyes, looking around, he saw his was in a dark bedroom. One of the doors to the bedroom was off its hinges. With half of it, what looked like it was blasted off. Did he do that? He asked himself. Riamu groaned "What did I eat?" He let his head be reunited with the pillow. He eyes slowly became heavy, and his spent body demanded rest, to which he couldn't deny it. Slowly Riamu let his conscious drift off, as he went to the land of dreams.
-------------------------------------------------------- MEANWHILE ---------------------------------------------------
A dark blue Alicorn shot up from her bed, in a cold sweat. Trying desperately to put together the dream she just felt. It felt like a dream but at the same time not. But one thing was obvious it was a nightmare, and who ever the dreamer is, she felt truly sorry for. She would search for the pony afterwards, unfortunately she has night court to attend to.
