What awaits them in Canterlot Castle that Celestia has in mind for them. find out, Today.

*Cue music intro* ~ Special Lessons

It was at the end of the day of school for Syera and Twilight.

Now they are off to Canterlot Castle for the special private lessons from the Princess herself.

"I wonder what were gonna learn about on our first day?" Syera said walking with Twilight.

"Oh I bet its going to be a very big test or exam or something! I'm just so excited to know what!" Twilight said as they were nearing the castle.

They both looked at how big the place is with all the special decor and spires spanning the city. all of which is just one castle on the cliff edge in the middle of Equestria.

"Well, here goes nothing, ready?" Syera said to Twilight.

"Ready" Twilight said back.

As they approached the guards looking at them seemed to know who they are and moved out of their way and the front gate to the castle opened.

"Head up to the stairs straight ahead, the princess is waiting for you both" One of the guards said to the two.

They nodded yes and headed on forward.

When they headed up the stairs, the doors opened for them and there, they saw the princess up at the top of the main staircase looking down on them.

"Twilight Sparkle, Syera. good to see you, and you're both just in time. as I would to expect from you none the less" Celestia said with her angelic voice with a smile.

"Are you kidding, me and Syera would never miss an oppotunity like this, ever!" Twilight said with a smile.

"Yes Princess, I'd never want to miss out on special training. espicially from you!" Syera said with a big smile.

"Good, now follow me young ones, there is much to discuss. espicially from you Syera" Celestia stated as the two young ones followed her throughout the halls.

"Me? what do you mean Princess?" Syera said with interest.

"I say you because not only will you be working on mastering your abilities, but understanding who you are and what you are, and what your destiny is." Celestia said to her.

"My destiny? how will I know what it is?" Syera said with courage and bravery.

"That is something you will have to figure out on your own, but in time. I may be teaching you various skills and techniques, but its your job to learn how to use them in your journey ahead." She said with a smile.

"I will do my best Princess, you can count on it" Syera said with Confidence.

"I will do just as hard as well Princess" Twilight said with confidence as well.

"Good, now Syera, you remember what happened 2 nights ago when you transformed into that giant creature during the full moon?" Celestia asked to refresh her memory.

Syera then looked down sadden by what she did when she did become that creature.

"Yes....I do, and I never want to do that again...." she said with a clear tone as her tail moved freely up and down.

"Its ok, I believe you fully. I just came to tell you what you are and where you come from." Celestia said.

"What am I? where do I come from?" Syera said with interest.

"You are known as a Saiyan, science name, Sionis-saipenious. you are part of a prowd warrior race of fighters that originates from the planet Vegeta. now you may understand a bit better why you like Karate more Syera." Celestia said to her, shocking her and Twilight.

"A Saiyan....so, I was right, I knew I was always different, and I do like Karate cause I enjoy a good fight." Syera said outloud with a smile excepting who she is and why she does the things she does.

"Yes, but there is more. I know this because I've seen and known your parents, I visited your world before and made peaceful arrangements with them. but I could only trust them since your father never really trusted his supperiors he and his race were working for."

"Who was my Father and the other saiyans working for?"

"An evil Tyrannt known as Frieza, who I heard destroyed your planet. A letter was sent to me from your father as he and your mother sent you here to escape. The same goes for other Saiyans, so you aren't the only one left alive."

"Oh my......My father and mother sent me here to protect me.....I can't believe it." Syera said shedding a few tears.

"I'm sorry Syera, but to let you know, they both loved you with all their heart. But I know for certain, one of your Saiyan brothers or sisters still alive will avenge your race" Celestia said patting her back.

"That gives....gives me hope." Syera said wiping away the few tears that shedded from her eyes.

"I think I understand why my parents sent me here, not only to fight, but to protect and start a new life here." She said with a fist balled up in front of her.

"I can only guess that's what they wanted Syera, but its your choice to make it happen and be part of your destiny." Celestia said with a smile.

Syera nodded in agreement and had a look of confidence, the same with Twilight.

"I hope that your destiny and mine will coencide Syera" Twilight said to her sister.

"I think it will, but like Celestia said, its all up to me and if you are apart of it, so be it I wouldn't have it any other way Twilight." Syera said to her sister with a smile.

"Ok you two, I have something for you both that will help you both on your journey ahead." Celestia said to them

"Really? what is it Princess?" Twilight said out of curiousity.

"Follow me, and you will see" Celestia said to her and started to walk. The young Saiyan and Unicorn followed behind their Princess/Teacher closly as she led them through corridor after corridor.

In til then she led them into a long hall with various arts and mantles across the glass windows of the castle walls.

"Whoa.....what are those?" Syera said with extreme curiousity as she looked at the different mantles. showing art of what depicted the heros of Equestria throughout the span of time.

"They are mantles that depict the heroic acts of those who passed away throughout the years of Equestria, brave ponies who are always remembered through these." Celestia said to the young Saiyan.

"Whoa.....do you think I'd be included to have one of my own mantles on one of these castle windows?" Syera said with curiousity.

"Most likely, if you commend a brave act for Equestria and her people." Celestia said to her.

"Maybe it will be part of my Destiny, but I can only guess" Syera said as she looked around a bit more but as they were near the end of the hall, they neared a sealed door, which turned out to be a vault.

Celestia then put her horn into a slot and when she held it there in place for a few seconds, the vault door glowed a bright gold like the sun itself and opened.

"Oh wow, that was cool! do it again." Syera said amazed by how the magic around the door glowed so beautifully.

Celestia chuckled to herself then answered "maybe another time my little Saiyan, but now, there is something here for the both of you."

The three of them entered the vault and inside contained three items.

The first of these items was a large book depicted with the emblems of the two royal sisters.

The second turned out to be an outfit of sorts. It was a Gi of sorts bearing the colors of Orange and Dark Blue. it was looked like it was for a full sized adult shaped and designed for someone of Syera's race. it had boots as well along with a pair of gloves, the belt was a lighter shade of blue. but as Syera approached it and reached her hand for it. And at that very moment she did, it suddenly changed to her size.

"Whoa! how did it do that?" She said amazed by what the outfit did when she touched it.

"Try it on Syera, that Gi has magic properties that will protect you from almost any kind of harm, plus as you can see, it adapts to the size of the user, so it will change as you grow older."

Syera then tried on the Gi, first taking off her normal clothes then putting on the pants, the orange undershirt then the dark blue over shirt then applying the light blue bandbelt.

Lastly the boots and then the gloves. It fit her like a glove, almost like she had it her entire life.

"Oh wow, Syera. it fits you so well!" Twilight said looking at her sister all dressed up.

"It does, it really fits me like a glove, and its very movable. its not restricting me at all" Syera stated then threw a few kick and punches in the air really quickly.

"I think I'm setting new records! awesome!" She said with excitement.

"It looks like it young saiyan. but there is much more to learn, not only will you be taking lessons in Karate, but I will show you what I've learned over my years." Celestia says to her, making her even more excited.

"Yeah! alright!" Syera said.

"I can't wait to learn more as well Princess" Twilight stated to the princess.

"There will be plenty of knowledge to learn my young ones, and I will make sure you enjoy all of it." Princess Celestia stated.

And with that all said and done, the two sisters began their private lessons and training. They've learned from Magic histories, to new spell tomes and other things in books that no one else has ever remember but only forgotten in time.

*12 years later*

Twilight learned so much over the years, such as becoming a teacher herself. her one job was to teach Spike, her dragon friend to be her number one assistant in her studies. She has proven she can do it since Spike became more than augmented for the task, he also helped her test out various spells and techniques.

Syera learned different Meditation Skills, along with different offensive magic and spells. along with concentrating her energy or as Celestia called it "Ki" and using it to its maximum potential. And it grew more and more along with her strength and stamina and speed as she trained and pushed herself to almost near death more than once. Even Celestia was surprised that she could handle all of the tasks she assigned her. Such as delivering items to dangerous places in Equestria, to confronting with enemies of Equestria from Celestia herself. But it paid off since she has become 100 times stronger than what she was at her young age.

This continued more and more till they were out of school; over the past 12 years back to back, non-stop. the whole nine yards. but in all one moment, it all stopped so suddenly

Almost as if Celestia had plans for her prized student Twilight and strong warrior Syera.

"You two have been working amazingly great, you make prowd to be your teacher. But now I think its time you two took a well deserved break. you both earned it equally well."

"Thanks Princess, for everything. I hope when we come back, we'll learn even more, otherwise I'll continue to train hard when I can." Syera said, now a 19 year old young woman.

"I will continue to study and train my mind as well Princess, you can count on it." Twilight said, the same age as her sister Syera.

With all said and done, they left the castle for the last time till they are called back to do more. if that is going to happen that is.

"Hey Syri, I'm gonna go into the park and read for a bit, I'll see you later" Twilight said to Syera.

"Ok, see ya later then Twily" They each said their goodbyes to each other.

Syera, learned how to fly as well in her training thanks to Celestia teaching her how to fly since it was said that it is possible. Just the right amount of training did the trick, now she flys like she has done it all her life.

Syera flew to a spire that held a library and study. She came in to see Spike, Twilight's Assistant organizing the books and such.

"Hey Spike!" Syera said to him.

"Oh, hi Syera. How'd it go today?" Spike asked her.

"Oh, it was good. but it turns out that we're on a long deserved break."

"Oh that's great! oh and I have your clothes ready when you get out of the shower, I'm betting your tired."

"Oh thanks Spike, much appreciated"

Syera then went into the bathroom and took a well good shower washing all the sweat off her body. When she came out. she dressed up in her Gi that Spike had ready for her. she also put on her new earrings that she got from her Mother for her 17th birthday.

"Hmm...Much better" She said patting her head since her hair was still a bit wet. but once it dryed, it was back to its natural spiky-ness, she also had two front bangs that usually hung in her face, though one was a bit longer than the other.

"Hmm...phew" She blew the two bangs out her face which was a habit she did for a while since she was a teen.

"Hey Syera, wanna help me wrap up this gift for Moondancer?" Spike said to her.

"Sure, oh wow. she'll definitely love this." Syera said, it was a picture of all of them.

Syera, Twilight and Moondancer were reading a books in the background while Minuette, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine, Lyra Heartstrings and Spike were all smiling at the camera.

When Syera saw this, it made her feel how lucky she was to be excepted and have friends such as these. and to have a sister and brother like Twilight and Spike.

But as she looked out on the view from the spire, out in the world of Equestria, she felt something was coming over the horizon, or better yet, the night to come.

What will it be?
