Chapters Frieza the displaced alien
I let out a sigh of contentment. Here I was at my second anime convention. I would admit that these things certainly where addictive, and the hand made stuff was certainly a bonus. Speaking of I had just entered the dealers room when immediately my attention was forcibly taken by a man dressed up as the merchant from Resident Evil four opened up his coat to show off a large group of anime and video game related pins of all things.
"Welcome stranga."
His voice was muffled by the purple bandana that covered his mouth but I couldn't help but grin at his enthusiasm.
"Got a good selection o things on sale stranga." The man spoke with a hint of mirth in his voice. Scrutinizing over the pins in his cloak one grabbed my attention. It was that of Frieza in his first form. Taking the pin I looked over to the side of the man where a sign stated that all of his pins where a dollar. I forked over the cash and tossed in a tip for how well he acted in character.
"Heheheh thank you."
I gave a small bow to the merchant and affixed the pin to the black military style cap I was wearing. After that the rest of the day was standard fair what with all the fun, the cosplays, and the stuff sold at the booths. Just as it was growing dark I left the convention and went back to the hotel I was staying at for the night. Walking back up to my room I took out my keycard and opened the door with it. Shutting it quickly behind me I deposited my ill gotten goods on the night stand next to me and flopped onto the bed. That was all I remembered before I dozed off.
What seemed almost like moments later I woke up feeling like I was sleeping on rocks and my arm, but the thing was it wasn't my arm as both my hands where over my chest. I let out a groan as I sat up rubbing my smooth head.... Wait smooth!? My eyes shot open and I scrambled up to my feet looking around my person. What greeted me was a rather strange sight. Pink limbs, white and brown shin and arm guards, purple and brown armor, purple three toed feet, purple hands ending in sharp ebony nails, a pink and purple tipped tail, and vision that was tinted red. Flexing my hands before my face I sat there dumbfounded for a moment or two.
"Well now this is one hell of a dream..." I muttered to myself. I couldn't help but grin as my voice came out British sounding. At least I got the DBZ Kai voice rather than ocean dubb's. I shuddered at the thought and my tail gave a few twitches. Looking back at it, it seemed to subconsciously reflect my mood. After studying myself for a few minutes I took in my surroundings. To my side was Frieza's hover chair currently parked, and all around me stood gnarled dense Forrest. It was made even worse given the fact that it was night time an I couldn't see very much further. I let loose a sigh and rubbed my new forehead with agitation before a new thought occurred to me, could I fly or use ki? I pondered the thought for a few seconds before figuring I should test it.
I braced myself for a moment and pointed a single index finger forward. As expected a tiny pinprick of purple energy gathered before shooting forward and blasting the tree I was pointing at to smithereens. Bits of wood showered the area as I held my hand in front of my mouth and laughed at the sight of destruction. I only stopped when I wanted to test my flight. After standing straight I attempted to will myself into the air and to my disballef it actually worked. Shakily and slowly at first but I was rising. Once over the tree line I could see some ruins in the distance. Turning my head to the left I could see a small town windows ablaze with light and beyond that a massive mountain with what looked to be a massive city bolted to the side. I furrowed my brows at that thinking the sight looked vaguely familiar. Looking up I stared at the moon briefly before noting the odd assembly of the craters. That's when it dawned on me.
"Oh dear me if that's what I think it is..." I let the thought trail off and as if to answer my question the moon flashes briefly before the unicorn shaped craters disappeared. I couldn't help but allow a grin to plaster itself onto my face. "Well well, it seems as though I've just blundered into season one."
I quickly let myself drop to the ground and hopped into the hover chair. As if by instinct or muscle memory my ki ignited and I was off over the tree line to the ruins of the everfree forrest. I was impressed at how it took virtually no time to get to the ruined castle. Parking the hover craft outside the ruined walls of the decrepit building I ventured inside into the main chamber. Decaying banners wafted rather ominously as I walked in and up the stairs to the blue throne on the left. I took a seat and admired the plushness of the seat. To think after one thousand years a chair could still be comfy. I made myself comfortable by placing one leg over the other and laying my cheek on my fist taking in the scenery. After all it would be an hour or two before they showed up as well as the dark alicorn herself Nightmare Moon.
"And who are you to rest in my seat of power?"
Oh speak of the devil. My eyes drifted up to the midnight alicorn and a smile spread across my face as my tail flicked upward in joy. "My name is Lord Frieza of the Planet Trade Organization. And you are?" I decided to act the part if I certainly looked it.
The black alicorn strode up to me and puffed out he chest to seem more intimidating. "Have you not heard of Nightmare Moon?"
I could tell that my eyes gleamed with mirth as mine met the slitted real ones of Nightmare. "I'm afraid not my dear, I haven't exactly been on this planet long so let's just call me a casual observer eh?" I stood from the throne placing both hands behind my back and letting my tail flick around behind me in its content state.
Nightmare gave something of a hiss of annoyance as she turned towards the door of the building. "I have more pressing matters than you at the moment creature, so I would rather appreciate it if you left this place."
I gave a small chuckle and placed a single hand on my chest before giving a slight bow. "I am no stranger to royalty so as te guest I will bend to your wishes lady Moon." Turning on my heel I left for one of the side doors which I knew would lead to the tower which the final confrontation would occur. As to my expectations it only took meer minutes for a swirling vortex to appear and cough up a purple unicorn and reform into Nightmare Moon. As I watched everything proceeded as it had in episode two but before the rainbow could smash into the alicorn of the night I fired a single death beam taking a small bit of metal off of the chest plate of Nightmare. As she was consumed she recognized my plan as the scrap of metal flew away. A bit of her would survive. As Nightmare was stripped away leaving a shaking and very much powerless Luna in her wake I felt my back warm and as I turned I was blinded by the sunrise and the emergence of Celestia I to the war torn room. I decided I would reveal myself as well. Walking out from the pillar I had hid behind I began to clap my hands.
"Good show! This has to be the best entertainment I've had in a while." As soon as I made myself known all eyes where on me. Celestia and Twilight appeared to reguard me with curiosity. Rainbow and Rarity simply looked confused. Fluttershy looked like her heart had just attempted to leave her body via her throat. AppleJack looked like she was bracing for another fight, and pinkie looked like she wanted to tackle hug me and that is what terrified me. Walking over to the huddled Luna I knelt before her and held out a hand. I saw Celestia bristle a bit at the action and had to bite back a grin. As Luna's eyes focused on me she gasped a bit possibly out of fear. I simply let a warm or what I hoped to be a warm smile slide onto my face. "Don't worry I'm not your enemy here."
After staring for a moment the alicorn princess appeared to have decided to trust me as place her hoof into my hand. With a small grunt from her I helped her up. After that action I turned to the group. "Ah where have my manners gone? I am Lord Frieza, prince of Acros." With a sweeping bow the ponies where forced to reevaluate me and what my presence could mean. To her credit Celestia was the first to react accordingly. She gave a tilt of her head.
"Welcome Prince Frieza, I am Princess Celestia of Equestria." She looked back up with an inviting smile which I answered with a smirk of my own. "We where just headed back to the capital Canterlot and it would be my great pleasure to invite you with us."
My grin probably couldn't spread any wider. "I humbly accept your generous offer Princess."

Frieza the displaced alien
As the ponies left the room of the decrepit castle, Celestia and myself lagged behind to keep up with the still very much weakened form of Luna. I made sure to keep perfect pace next to her as occasionally she would lean herself against me for physical and perhaps emotional support. Seeing as though I had interrupted what was supposed to be a tear filled reunion I could guess that she may have not been prepared to face her sister anymore and was instead using me, the first thing to show her kindness, for a pillar for support in this new alien world she has once called home. Folding my arms behind my back I was allowed to properly drink in my surroundings in this quiet moment. It was rather interesting to note the soft plushness of Luna's fur. Her coat actually reminded me of my Russian Blue cat. I also found the earthen smell of the ancient forest to be quite relaxing. This was most defiantly going to be a place I would come to often.
As the party and myself left the decaying marvel of the old castle I stopped the group and waved at them lazily in order to get them to follow me. With a few shrugs they where following me around the side of the castle to where my hover chair awaited me. Within the grass near my chair a small glint caught my line of sight. Walking over I placed my foot over it to hide the scrap of metal from the others eyes. Twilight unsurprisingly was the first to approach my vessel and look it over.
"Careful now, she bites."
The purple unicorn immediately began to skitter back and I held a finger to my mouth as I gave a small chuckle.
"I'm joking, it's actually a bit of technology that I use to get around in comfort."
Recovering from my joke Twilight was all over it again.
"How do you 'get around' with a chair that's planted on the ground? Is it possible that you've enchanted it to float at your whim? I've read about how Starswirl had done something similar for his private study but that can't be the case here because I can sense no magical output from this thing."
I smirked and allowed my tail to coil around behind me mischievously. Without answering her I simply hopped into the machine and ignited my ki. Responding immediately to its master the legs that supported the hover chair retracted into the machine and it floated mid air. As I sat I glanced down making sure I had indeed picked up the scrap of metal and loosed another smirk. Twilight was slack jawed as she began to scrutinize more furiously over it.
"What was that blast of energy? It certainly wasn't magic but it felt similar."
I chuckled as her face scrunched up and the other ponies looked about ready to pass out. Only Celestia continued to look on calmly and with a single eyebrow raised.
"That my dear was ki. It's the manifestation of spiritual, mental, and physical energy in a being. And this is my hover chair, an advanced piece of technology my empire has made."
"How is all of this possible? No such technology exists in our country or even planet as of yet! And what do you mean by Empire? You had mentioned an Acros before but no such empire exists."
"Ah that's because I don't hail from your planet." Raising my finger to the sky to further hammer in my point I gave a grin. "I come from the stars beyond. Acros is the name of my home planet you see, and my empire? I purchase and sell whole planets just as one buys and sells homes for other races."
That one got everyone's head to roll, even Celestia's. I was almost afraid her jaw would break off if it dropped any further. Since her student was too stunned to speak she walked up to me with a small tilt of her head when she recovered.
"Then it is our great pleasure to welcome you to our planet Lord Frieza. I must however ask you state your intentions with it."
Resting my arms on my chair I let my tail slap the side of it once as I chuckled before lacing my fingers in front of my face and going into a sort of business mode. "While your planet is certainly beautiful and would fetch a wondrous price Princess, I am not here for that. In fact I have no recollection as to how o got here at all, so I would instead like to consider this a vacation of sorts."
After breathing a sigh of relief the princess tilted her head to the side a bit and inquired further. "But what about your empire? Will you not be missed or is it self sustaining and you are more of a royal figure head?"
"You have lovely instincts. While I will be sorely missed my empire is designed to run in my absence, but rebellions will no doubt crop up in my absence, but that is only hypothetical as my brother will no doubt rule over once he notices I am gone, and if not Father will certainly take control back and perhaps give it to my son Kuriza once he matures."
Celestia nodded her head slowly taking in the chunk of exposition I had delivered to her. "Well then it is my honor and pleasure to invite you to the city of Canterlot to further discuss what your presence here means."
I gave a tilt of my head and unbeknownst to them slid the scrap of Nightmare's armor under my own. "I must admit dinner would be quite lovely." However before we could progress further a shadow fell over us. Looking up we were greeted to the sight of a royal chariot descending to greet us. One of the drivers, an exasperated guard, unhooked himself the moment he landed and rushed up to Princess Celestia in a steep bow.
"My Princess! We where all searching for you after squad one was taken out by Nightmare Moon! Where have you been?"
Celestia merely smiled and patted the guard's head. "Worry not my little pony I am well and I have good news to share with you so lets make haste to Ponyville and then Canterlot shall we?"
"Er, yes my Princess." The stallion hooked himself back up to the chariot and allowed Celestia to board as well as Luna despite giving her a wary glance or two. As the chariot began to pull forward the elements of harmony in their excitement rushed forward but I kept pace with the chariot keeping on Luna's side. The more I could cement myself into her mind the better. Once we cleared the tree line the chariot was swarmed with ponies. Luna and Celestia disembarked and where showered with praise and love, and there I was keeping next to Luna making sure she wasn't overwhelmed. As Celestia walked off to speak with her student most of the ponies' attention was taken off of Luna and myself as they formed a ring around the princess, her student and her friends. I watched on as it played out exactly like the episode ending had. It took a few more minutes however for the Princess to take her leave and get on the chariot with Luna. Once they where moving at a decent clip they started taking to the air. Leaning myself forward my chair kept pace with them. Glancing over Celestia observed my chair.
"I must admit technology like that is impressive. It must make the universe so convenient."
I gave a small chuckle. "Yes it does, but ethics and hard work slip in exchange for comfort."
"Oh I see, also forgive me for being so blunt but what is it you eat? Can't have a dissatisfied guest after all."
"My species is omnivorous in nature, though I am prone to having a sweet tooth every once in a while."
"I'll have the chefs prepare something special for dessert then, I don't brag often but you have not lived until you have had Equestrian cake."
Before I could respond there was a snort from the chariot and not from Celestia. Both she and I looked over to Luna who was wearing a scrunched muzzle and holding in laughter. After that the rest of the ride was in a rather comfortable silence. It didn't take long to reach the grand city bolted to the mountain. But instead of landing near the city gate or anything to that extent we made a bee line for the courtyard of the palace itself. Once landed I hopped out of my chair and stretched a bit from being cooped up. The guards left us and the Princess' and myself walked inside and headed toward what I assumed would be the dining hall. Glancing around I was able to admire the craft of the castle. But the sight seeing was short lived as we had come across our destination. It was a rather simple hall, chandeliers, pristine white table cloths, ornate wooden chairs, the expected things of an over priced dining hall. The chair at the head was pulled out by a gold aura and I took my seat. Both alicorns took their seats on either side of me.
"I get the head? My my it must really be a special occasion eh?"
Celestia repressed a giggle with her hoof. "Only the important guests get the head of the table."
Before long the doors to the hall opened and what I can only assume was a butler came out with three different plates. A small salad was placed in front of Celestia, a salad and curiously enough a pair of eggs was placed in front of Luna, and of course a well cooked steak sided with potatoes and broccoli was placed in front of me. We ate our meals in silence and when we were done I dabbed my mouth with a napkin.
"I must admit that was quite wonderful."
"Yes my chefs are quite skilled. It helps whenever you have an ambassador that is purely carnivorous. But I am afraid I must ask what you plan on doing for your stay here in Equestria."
"Ah that's an interesting inquiry. I am going to assume that my stay is indefinite for now and I would like to ask if I have your permission to restore the old castle."
I was fairly certain that Celestia's eyebrows couldn't have shot up any faster. "Well that is unexpected but I don't see why not. It would be nice to see it returned to its former glory. Any objections Luna?"
It appeared as if a shadow had fallen over the younger alicorn's face as she hid behind her mane. "We have none. Now if you'll excuse us we have our nightly duties to tend to." The smaller alicorn got up and wandered off into the castle. Celestia appeared as if she wanted to follow but stopped herself.
"Well I think your sister has the right idea. I do hope you can lend me a room for the night."
That got Celestia out of her apparent trance. "Oh yes of course." She then called over a servant who then took me to my chambers in one of the towers of the castle, but on my way to my room we had passed by a large blue set of doors, I took a mental note of it for when I wanted to speak to the princess of the night again before continuing onward. I dismissed the maid and walked into the room. It was rather simple. A bed pressed against the wall with a window over it, a nightstand next to the bed with a lamp, a book shelf opposite of the bead and along the same wall a door to what I can only assume was the bathroom. Reaching under my armor I pulled out the scrap of cyan armor and twirled it round between my ebony fingernails. Poor thing probably didn't have the strength to speak yet. I placed the scrap onto the night stand and removed my armor placing that onto the bed as well as my scouter. I then walked into the bathroom the cool tile floor chilling my feet a bit. Once again it was rather simple. Toilet on the far wall sink on one side and shower and tub on the other. Looking into the mirror I admired my new body. The sensations from it where both alien and familiar. With that I turned to the shower and proceeded to do my thing. After stepping back out the air was nice and steamy and as such was rather relaxing. I walked out of the bathroom toweling myself off and flopped onto the bed after I moved my scouter and armor. Lacing my fingers together onto my chest I let my eyes drift close. Now would be the time I would find out if this was really a dream or not. If so it was nice it was so lucid but if not well I would have more fun in the future it seemed.
I awoke once more in what appeared to be a field of flowers. I stood up looking around. My attention was caught by a small hill with a single flower standing proud on top. Walking up to it I knelt down investigating it. It was a cyan blue laced with a deeper version of the same color. However as I studied it, it wilted and the cyan transformed into black and the blue into purple. I stood up once more and noticed my shadow was now cast over the flower. I allowed a smirk to place itself on my face.
"Very interesting, now why don't we have a proper conversation eh Nightmare Moon?"
Two glowing eyes placed themselves on the head of my shadow. "I am not yet able to take form because of those accursed elements but in time I will if I can still feed off of this wondrous energy you possess."
I gave a small bow and which the shadow did not mirror interestingly enough. "My energy is yours, after all I did save you for a reason."
"And that reason is if I may so inquire?"
To be continued
Frieza the displaced alien
My eyes snapped open and I sat up quickly. Slowing down my breathing and heart rate I looked down upon myself. I was still very much Frieza. I allowed a smirk to form along with a chuckle. The implications that this wasn't a very lucid dream delivered a certain moral debate. Should I continue with the plan I had proposed to Nightmare last night or let bygones be bygones? 'And live in piece with these worms? I think not.' I frowned a bit at that thought, its origin did not stem from me or my own personality. It would seem a touch of the original Frieza would bleed through onto my own consciousness. That might complicate things. With a sigh I slid my eyes closed once more and recalled my conversation with the dark alicorn.
"Oh what a bold statement. And what by chance makes you think you can pull this off?" Nightmare Moon looked to be in sheer delight at my statement to her, if the fanged grin plastered across her face could be something I could go by that is. I folded my arms behind my back and allowed my own grin to sprout across my own face.
"Oh my dear that's too easy. The animosity is and always will be present, so like a garden I simply have to tend to it. The win condition however is that she must not see it until it is far too late to do anything about it." The dark queen then let loose something between a maniacal chuckle and a giggle.
"Very well Frieza, I'll place my trust into you. Make sure you can pull this off. Now go before Luna goes to bed, she might do something stupid in her guilt."
"The tantabus."
"Exactly."
I slid my eyes open once more and hopped out of bed. Looking out the window of my room as I slid my armor on I noticed it was almost dawn. I was about to reach for the scrap of metal when I noticed there was something different about it. What was once a bit of plain blue metal was now a silver ring with a deep purple starburst cut gem in the center. I smirked and slid it onto my right index finger before putting my scouter on and vacating my room. Once out in the hall I made my way to Luna's chambers, however once I was at the door I was stopped by two guards. The one on the right glared at me and stood directly in my way.
"Halt, the princess has requested no one visit her at this moment in time."
A grimace formed across my lips and my tail began to flick about in annoyance. "Even for foreign diplomats?"
"Even then." A scowl began to grow from my original frown. The right guard remained stoic but the one on the left looked about ready to bolt. A smirk then emerged from my scowl and I smiled rather invitingly.
"Very well then." The guard didn't see me coming as I seemingly teleported behind him and knocked him out cold with a simple chop to the neck. "Now that, that nuisance is out of the way." My eyes slid over to the openly cowering guard on the left. Pointing a finger directly at him I created a small ball of ki at the tip of my ebony nail. "You are to tell no one of this. Bring him to the infirmary and say he fell down some stairs or something." After nodding vigorously the guard collected his comrade and bolted. With a smirk I extended a single knuckle and rapped on the twin doors to Luna's room. There was a pop and an audible gasp. After a few moments of silence one of the doors was opened and I was greeted to the small blue mare.
"Oh Lord Frieza, we where not expecting visitors, especially at this hour."
I smiled in response. "Just call me an owl seeking company on this beautiful night."
Luna perked up a bit at this from her usual somber self. "Oh do come in then."
As I walked into the room I noticed how much larger it looked on the inside. It was also certainly more rounded than I had anticipated, but then again I suppose that would have been expected of the moon avatar. Glancing up I noticed the ceiling was more dome shaped and filled with different constellations. The decorations where as they were in season five, the crescent moon bed, the tree looking candle holders, and most of all the blue everything. Folding my hands behind my back I turned to address the sovereign of the night.
"I must admit princess, this is far more tastefully ornate than I would have anticipated. You certainly have my respect in that regard."
"Oh thank you, it feels nice to have a splash of color in this otherwise white castle."
I scratched my chin and feigned thinking. "That is true. Honestly if this castle is for the both of you why is it mostly colored after your sister?"
Luna's head lowered at my comment. "We fear that we may have been lost to time because of the nightmare."
"I assume you're referring to the dark creature you where before the whole rainbow menagerie. Perhaps you can explain that sortied affair to me, if you wish of course."
The princess shook her head after a few seconds of debate. "We would like you to get to know us for who we are before we tell thou what we once where."
I have a nod. "I respect your decision. Which reminds me, just after I knocked I heard a noise come from in here, did I startle you and cause something to break?"
A blush scrawled across her muzzle. Clearly she had been hoping I hadn't heard that. "No, nothing of the sort. We where in the middle of casting a spell and thou caught us off guard."
"A spell you say? I must admit magic is a rarity in the universe but your species talk about it like it's common place. I am quite interested, exactly what where you trying to cast?"
Luna began to paw at the ground a bit avoiding eye contact. "We where simply trying to cast a spell to help us sleep. It's not easy to fall asleep in a new place." After she stated that Luna glanced back up to make eye contact, a staple of someone who was lying. However when she locked eyes with my unflinching gaze, she was forced to break it almost instantly.
"You know Princess, I'm not particularly found of liars..." Oh the hypocrisy was thick in the air today. Luna wilted under my gaze. "however, I can see this probably pertains to the nightmare business, so for now I'll let you have your privacy. Just at the very least be careful and don't go punishing yourself for past mistakes ok?" I ruffled the mare's mane and she looked up at me with a look of shock. With that I took my leave of the room and made my way down to the kitchens and dining room. Of course since my memory can be sketchy sometimes I soon got entirely lost. Still it mattered little to me. As I continued down the long, dark corridors a small chuckle slipped from my lips. My job here was just beginning. The seeds had been planted and all it would take is time for them to grow. But with the plans I had how long would it take? Months? Years? But as I pondered that too I found I didn't care. Frieza was the type to live for quite a long time. Maybe indefinitely given his lack of care for the dragon balls in Resurrection F.
Glancing out one of the many windows I had realized time had eluded me for longer than I thought. The sun had already peeked its way over the long distant mountains and was beginning its slow trawl up the sky. My tail began to swirl around in annoyance, after all my problem of hunger was still gnawing at me. That was when I noticed exactly what part of the castle I was in. Given the large double doors with the golden sun enblazoned on them I had a faint guess as to who's room I was near.
"Ego maniac.." I felt a faint pulse from my ring as I muttered that under my breath. It was most likely nightmare laughing or something of the like. Extending a single knuckle casually I rapped on Celestia's door. As I listened in on the shuffling on the other side as she made her way over, I noted the lack of guards around her door. Ego maniac AND over confident. I chuckled as the phrase Bane once spoke ran though my mind. Piece has defeated you. My attention however was stolen from me as the twin oak doors opened slightly and the head of the princess craned from the now open space between them.
"Oh good morning Frieza, is something the matter?"
I slipped on a polite smile and gave a casual wave to Celestia. A few years of retail allowed me to perfect my so fake it's genuine smile. "And a fine morning to yourself Princess. I was simply enjoying the decor when I stumbled across your abode. Perhaps you would like to accompany me to breakfast?"
A smile graced Celestia's face as worry melted from her features. "Why of course, that sounds like a lovely proposal."
With that Celestia slit out of her room and shut the doors with her magic. I followed her down the ornate hallways to the dining room making sure to keep in step with her.
The trek itself was rather quiet as the sun slowly rose in the distance in accordance to Celestia's will. It was rather interesting to watch her casually raise a celestial body into the sky seemingly effortlessly. She must have felt my eyes on her because she chose that moment to turn her head slightly and give a tiny smirk.
"The sun is bound to me and my magic, so it responds to my will. It can be temperamental at times but for the most part it complies." My eyes snapped from the alicorn's horn to her eyes with one of my brows raised quizzically.
"You say that as if it has a mind of its own and isn't just a ball of plasma burning billions of miles away." My statement earned a giggle from the monarch.
"Magic flows through just about everything Lord Frieza. Everything that possesses magic has a different flow to them be they inanimate or otherwise." Her brow furrowed a bit as she gazed at my form. "However you are a bit of an oddity if you don't mind me saying." My gaze narrowed a bit. "You don't appear to possess any form of magic, but despite that you have a powerful energy about you that I can sense is but a sliver of your full strength. In fact I dare say your raw energy contained within you rivals that of Nightmare at her peak."
I locked eyes with the monarch and allowed a small smirk to form on my face. "And this makes you wary I presume?"
A warm smile grew across her face. "Not as much as you would think, but I would be lying if I said I wasn't the least bit curious about the energy that lies almost dormant within you."
This in turn pulled a chuckle from my own lips. "Perhaps I can let you in on a secret, but first please do tell me how much do you sense in my current form?"
"I can say that the energy currently flowing through you right now feels on par with some of my more skilled mages."
"My current form is a power suppressor. I cannot regulate the ki within my natural form as easily as this repressed form. Too much raw power. So instead I have three forms that restrict my overall strength." Celestia quirked a brow at that.
"That sounds rather fearsome."
I gave a small chuckle. "Only when I need to be. Ho but lo and behold I do believe we have arrived at our destination."
Celestia smiled. "You certainly are most correct."
