The Prologue: Arrival (Completely Rewritten)
Trunks stood before the altar, and looked upon the gathered seven Dragon Balls. Taking a deep breath, he spoke the words. "Eternal dragon! By your name I summon you forth! Shenron!"
The Dragon Balls Glowed and then send a Beam of Light into the Sky. as it does so the Sky turns pitch Black. The link shots into the clouds and Loops Through the Clouds up and Down before turning into a Massive Eastern Style Dragon. it had Green Scales, a preach under belly, the Color also Extended to his Bottom Jaw, it had to antler like horns on top of it's head and long green Whiskers, only one on each side. it's eyes were a deep crimson. It looks down at Trunks. "Why have you Awoken me from my Slumber?" It asked in a Booming and deep echoing Voice.
Trunks looks up at the dragon. "Time is falling apart, and I need a warrior to help restore it." pleaded Trunks. A look of desperation on his face.
"Hmmm I'll see what I can do". Sheron says, his eyes glow red for a few minutes before stopping. "Sorry but there are no warriors in this Universe that can help fix time". Trunks looked up at Shenron. His eyes widen in shock. "So the universe is doomed!?" cried Trunks. The fear evident in his voice.
"No, there is Still Hope" Said Sheron.Trunks blinks in confusion. "But you said there was no one who could help?"
"I said no one in THIS Universe" Sheron said. "Wait! Are you saying you can bring someone here from another universe?" asked Trunks. Hope returning to his voice. "Yes I can, but there is one problem though" Sheron said. "What is it?" asked Trunks. The worry slowly creeping back into his voice.
"These Creatures, 6 out of 7 don't have a Humanoid shape and will need to walk. They will transform into Creatures of our Universe that are Humanoid and Fit their Personalities. They will Also need to learn to Fight sense they live in a Peaceful Utopia and never really needed to Fight to Defend themselves" Sheron said with his Tone not really Changing sense he always seems to keep in Emotions in Check and never really seem to desire to show his True Feelings to a mortal.
"How do you know all this exactly?" asked Trunks. "I have a Cousin who won't stop talking about them... don't ask.." Sheron said sounding annoyed. Trunks stares blankly at Shenron. "Okay then."
Sheron Grumbles and his eyes Glow as he Starts Summoning the Warriors.
-&&& Meanwhile in Equestria, Twilight's Castle, Throne room.&&&-
The mane 6 and Spike where Sitting on their Throne Discussing on what they should do. "I say we should Go around the Castle and find out what's new" Rarity said, "I know where Twilight's gonna want to go first." said Spike. RD, and AJ look at each other. "The library." they said in unison. "Hey! How did you know that" Twilight Asks. "Hey! How did you know that" Twilight Asks.
"Keepers of harmony. A call for help has been sent to you from another dimension. Prepare yourselves." Said a Booming Deep Voice from out of nowhere. Twilight, Spike RD, AJ, FS, Pinkie and Rarity look around in surprise and shock. "What was that?" asked Spike.
All of a Sudden a Portal opens Above them and starts sucking them in. Rarity is the First to fly up but FS grabs her and tries to pull her back. Pinkie helps by Grabbing Fluttershy's tail but she starts to Float up as well. Twilight uses her magic to grab onto them and tries to hold everyone with her magic as she holds onto her Throne to keep herself from flying in. Spike grabs Twilight's tail as he is pulled up into the portal. AJ holds her hat with one hoof, and grabs Dash's hoof with the other.
Twilight begins to slip. She tries to hold on but slips and flies into the Portal. "AAAHHH!!" Twilight screamed as she Flew into the portal. FS, Pinkie and Rarity scream as Twilight's magic let's go of everypony and they fly into the portal. AJ's lets go and flies into the portal. Dash struggles to fly away, but her struggle was futile, and she is pulled into the portal with the others.
-&&& Back in Toki Toki City &&&-
Twilight wakes up. "Huh? wait... Where I'am I?!" Twilight said in surprise. She Tries to get up but Stumbles a bit. she Realizes she is in her human form. When she get's up she feels a part of herself move behind her. she looks back in gasps in shock when she sees a Purple monkey like Tail. "Ok... This is weird..." She said. She then notices 6 other Strange beings laying on the ground. "Huh? Who-" She then Recognizes them. "GIRLS?!?!" She gasped in Shock.
"What happened?" asked RD sitting up, and looking around. "I don't know sugar cube. But would ya kindly get off of me." said AJ beneath Rainbow Dash. "Oops! Sorry AJ." said Dash standing up. She wobbles around, and looks at herself. "What happened to my body!?" she cried in shock.
FS and Rarity Groan and Stand up. They wobble around. "Oh my!" Fluttershy said as she Wobbled around. her legs felt like Jello. "What in Equestria happened to us?!" Rarity asked in shock. "WHERE ARE MY WINGS!?!" screamed RD. "AND WHY DO I HAVE A MONKEY'S TAIL!?!"
Pinkie giggles as she bounces around, her legs acting like springs. she looks like she has already gotten used to her new form some how. Spike stands up and looks around. "Uh Twilight? What happened to us?".
"I have no idea Spike..." Twilight said clueless. All of a sudden Fluttershy looks up and screams in terror. The others look up too. They stare in shock. They see a Massive Eastern Style Dragon Floating Above them it had Green Scales, a preach under belly, the Color also Extended to his Bottom Jaw, it had to antler like horns on top of it's head and long green Whiskers, only one on each side. it's eyes were a deep crimson. “You’re Wish has been Granted” It said, The mane 6 and Spike recognize it from the Throne room before the portal had opened. It then Turns into a bright Golden Light before Disappearing.
"Wish? What wish? I didn't make a wish. Did any of you make a wish?" asked Spike looking around. They were standing in a small area, that looked almost like a public park. There were patches of grass, with bushes and trees across the area. As well as concert paths for walking on. In the center of the area, surrounded by a small moat, was what appeared to be some sort of alter. A young man with short purple hair, grey pant, black coat, and carrying a sword on his back, was standing looking at them.
"Um. Twilight. Who's that guy over there staring at us?" asked RD. Twilight turns to him. "He must of been the one to cast the Wish!" Twilight said to her friends. "Who are you and what do you want with us!?" Twilight asked him angrily. "My name is Trunks, and I brought you all here to help restore balance to the timelines." said Trunks.
"Timelines?" Twilight asks Raising a Eyebrow. Trunks nods. "Yes. That's right." said Trunks Twilight looks at him with Distrust. "And why us?" Twilight asks. "I asked Shenron. The big dragon you just seen. To bring me someone that can help us restore the timelines and save the universe, and he sent me you." said Trunks.
"Ok.... What is this place and what's happening with the timelines?" Twilight asks him. "This is the time nest. It's home to the supreme kai of time, and the time patrol force. As for what is happening to the time line. If you follow me, I'll show you." said Trunks. "Alright..." Twilight said. Trunks leads them to another area of the time nest, and into a building housing various different scrolls. One sitting on the table is glowing with black and purple aura.
Twilight looks at the Scroll in concern. "What's going on with that Scroll? What is it?" Twilight asks. "This is one of the corrupted timelines." said Trunks as he opens the scroll. A scene of a fight between three people begins playing on the scroll. One has hair that reaches past his waist, another has an orange training outfit on, and the last one is green with antenna on his head. "This fight is between Goku, Piccolo, and Raditz." said Trunks indicating who was who. They see Raditz winning the fight and stamping on Goku's chest. Suddenly a pod in front of them explodes, and a small child flies out.
Twilight, Rarity, AJ, RD, FS, Pinkie and Spike Gasp in shock to see a small Child do that. The child glares at Raditz. "LEAVE MY DADDY ALONE!!!" he screamed as he shot forward towards Raditz. "Who is that?" asked Pinkie looking at the child.
"That is Gohan. He's Goku's son, and this is where the change in the timeline happens." said Trunks looking at the scene as it played out. Raitz eyes widen in shock as Gohan flies at him. Only inches separate them. Suddenly, Raditz's eyes glow red, and the same black and purple aura that surrounded the scroll covered his body. Raditz then dodged Gohan's attack.
"What's going on?! Why are people fighting?!" Twilight asks in shock and alarm. "This is how things work in our universe. Not everywhere is a peaceful as your home dimension." said Trunks. "We never agreed to this! I refuse to be involved in such Barbaric things! I want to go home!" Complained Rarity.
"I d-don't want t-to f-fight anypony e-either." stuttered Fluttershy as she tried to hide behind her hair. "But you're suppose to be the ones to help restore the universe! That's why Shenron brought you all here!" cried Trunks in concern and frustration. "And we didn't Agree to this!" Rarity growled
"Well you can sit this one out. But I want a piece of the action." said Dash excitedly. "We can't just let a universe that needs our help be destroyed." said AJ. "Maybe I'll get another statue if I help." said Spike excitedly. Rarity Calms down before sighing. "I guess you're right AJ..." Rarity said. Meanwhile Twilight Rolls her eyes at what Spike said.
"Thank you all." said Trunks with a sigh of relief. "No Problem" Twilight said with a small smile. "Okay. Before you go out to restore time. You'll all need to learn how to fight and use your Ki." said Trunks. "Ki? is it what you call magic here?" Twilight asks. "No. Ki is the natural energy that flows through all living beings." said Trunks. "Really? What is like? is it like magic?" Twilight asks.
"Ki is your life force energy that flows through you, and with proper training you can use it for different things." said Trunks. "Really? What can you do with it?" Twilight asks him. She was very interested. "Well for starters, you can use it to fly. Like this." Trunks concentrated, and floated into the air. He hovered in place for a few minutes before returning to the ground.
"How did you do that without wings!?" asked Dash excitedly. "How is that even possible?!" Twilight exclaimed in shock. "Like I said. I just use my Ki, and it allows me to fly." Trunks responded. "But how?!" Twilight asks still in shock. she starts twitching a little bit. "He's a superhero! Just like Supermare, or the Power Ponies!" exclaimed Spike in awe. "Yeah! Super powers yay!" Pinkie said bouncing around excitedly. What else can you do? Can you shoot heat beams from your eyes? or freeze bad guys with your breath? or shatter a boulder in a single punch!?" asked Spike excitedly
"No to the first two. But yeah, I could do the boulder shattering." said Trunks. "So Awesome!" cried Spike and RD in unison. Meanwhile Twilight is Twitching madly. "Uh. You okay there sugar cube?" asked AJ in concern. "This makes no sense at all! no scientific sense at all!" Twilight exclaimed. "It doesn't have to make sense. It's awesome." said RD. Trunks looks at Twilight, then back at the others. "Is she okay?". "Yeah... she just goes a.. Tad.. A tad crazy when something or some one defies her understanding of science or magic" Rarity said.
"Alright." said Trunks taking her word for it. "How do you do that?!" Twilight asked with a Crazed glare. "I was trained to use my Ki." said Trunks backing away from Twilight with a concerned look on his face. "How do you fly without wings?!" Twilight asks as she get's closer to him. "Twilight dear, please calm down." Rarity said as she puts a hand on Twilight's shoulder. she takes a deep breath and Relaxes. "Okay. Let's take this outside. I'll show you as best I can." said Trunks as he walked to the door. They follow him.
Trunks walks out to the centre of the area, and turns to face them. They stand in font of him and Watch Closely. "Okay. So first, what you have to do is feel the energy in you body." Trunks takes a deep breath as his face takes on a serious expression. "Then you relax your muscles.". The Mane six and Spike do the Same.
"Okay, and this is going to be the tricky part. So don't get mad if you don't get it right away." said Trunks looking at Twilight. "Alright, now send the energy down through your legs, and out of your feet pushing you up." said Trunks as he slowly rises into the air..They all Focus on controlling their energy. Pinkie is the first one to rise from the ground within 3 seconds and starts Floating. "Weee hee! I'm flying!" Pinkie said excitedly.
RD starts bouncing on the spot trying to make it work. "Come on Spike. You can do this." Spike reassured himself. His eyes were shut tight and his fists clenched. He didn't notice he was floating off of the ground by several feet. "hehe! look at spike! he's flying to!" Pinkie exclaimed Excitedly. "What!?" yelled Spike in shock as he opened his eyes and looked down. "I'm flying! I'm really flying!" he cried in excitement. Suddenly he lost control and fell flat on his face.
Fluttershy rushes over to him. "Spike! Are you okay?". "Yeah. I'm fine Fluttershy. Thanks." said Spike as he rubbed his nose. Rarity starts Floating off the ground as well. "Awesome job Rarity. I knew you could do it." cheered Spike, forgetting about his recent fall. "Thank you Darling" Rarity said as she smiles at spike. Spike returns the smile. Trunks watches the others progress as they attempt to fly.
Evently Twilight Starts flying as well. She beams in excitement. Rainbow Dash growls in frustration. "Come on!". "You just have to relax RD" Pinkie said trying to help. "How can I relax!? I'm the best flyer in Equestria, and yet somehow everyone is doing a better job of this than me!" screamed Dash. Her frustration finally getting the best of her. "We're not in Equestria anymore Dash. Ya need to forget how to fly as a Pegasus, and learn how to fly as a... whatever it is y'all are?" said AJ who was now floating through the air slowly.
Rainbow Dash grumbled angrily to herself before finally taking a deep breath and allowing her muscles to relax. Trunks sees this and smiles. "That's it. Now just push the energy down through your legs, and out of your feet." She followed his instructions, and slowly she began rising up into the air.
"Yay Rainbow. You're doing it. Woohoo." cheered Fluttershy quietly. Rainbow looked down and grinned proudly. "Alright. Now to show you what I can really do." said Dash. She then shot into the sky at blinding speeds.
"Oh no! This isn't good!" said Trunks looking up at her in worry. "What's wrong?" Twilight asks in concern. "She's just starting to learn how to fly. If she fall, then she could really hurt herself." said Trunks. "Trust me sugar cube. It'll take more than a fall like that ta hurt Rainbow Dash." said AJ.
"She's at least one hundred and fifty feet in the air. It not exactly falling off a doorstep." said Trunks. AJ rolls her eyes and shouts into the air. "Rainbow Dash! Come back down here! You're giving the poor colt a heart attack!" A few moments later. Rainbow Dash landed on the ground
next to Fluttershy and Spike.
"What are we going to do now?" Twilight asks. "I'm going to take you to the training area now. You'll learn more about how to use your Ki from a master." said Trunks looking around at them all. "Wait. So you're not gonna train us yourself?" asked AJ confused. "No. I'm not the greatest teacher. So I'm going to assign you each a master who can train you for the missions you're going to face." said Trunks
"Alright, when are we going to see them?" Twilight asks curiously. "Now, if you're all ready." said Trunks. "Alright, let's go then" Twilight said, eager to meet her own master. Trunks leads them towards the training area, and their masters.
